Abstract
In the quest to build general-purpose photonic quantum computers, fusion-based quantum computation has risen to prominence as a promising strategy. This model allows a ballistic construction of large cluster states which are universal for quantum computation, in a scalable and loss-tolerant way without feed forward, by fusing many small n-photon entangled resource states. However, a key obstacle to this architecture lies in efficiently generating the required essential resource states on photonic chips. One such critical seed state that has not yet been achieved is the heralded three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (3-GHZ) state. Here, we address this elementary resource gap, by reporting the first experimental realization of a heralded 3-GHZ state. Our implementation employs a low-loss and fully programmable photonic chip that manipulates six indistinguishable single photons of wavelengths in the telecommunication regime. Conditional on the heralding detection, we obtain the desired 3-GHZ state with a fidelity 0.573±0.024. Our Letter marks an important step for the future fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing, leading to the acceleration of building a large-scale optical quantum computer.

Abstract
AIM To explore the use of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in assessing changes in brain iron deposits and their association with cognitive function in patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study cohort comprised 27 cases with hepatitis B-associated cirrhosis with MHE (MHE group), 25 with hepatitis B-associated cirrhosis without MHE (NMHE group), and 25 healthy controls (HC group). Iron deposits in the bilateral frontal white matter, caudate nucleus (CN), putamen, globus pallidus, thalamus, red nucleus, substantia nigra (SN), hippocampus, and dentate nucleus were measured by QSM. The associations between iron deposition with the time taken to complete number connection tests A (NCT-A) and the score on digital-symbol test (DST) were analysed. RESULTS Susceptibility values differed significantly in the bilateral CN, left thalamus, right SN, and left hippocampus in the MHE group compared with the other groups and were positively associated with the times taken to complete the NCT-A in the bilateral CN, left thalamus, and right SN and negatively associated with DST scores in the bilateral CN, left TH, and left HP. CONCLUSION Reduced cognitive function in MHE patients was significantly associated with abnormally increased iron deposition in certain brain areas. The quantification of brain iron deposition by QSM may thus be an objective and accurate means of evaluating MHE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), this study aimed to investigate the effect of high levels of systemic immune inflammation (SII) on hepatic steatosis by conducting a population-based cross-sectional survey of research subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The population included 5,119 participants from the NHANES 2017-2020 cycle who were selected as the research subjects. We used (neutrophil count × platelet count)/lymphocyte count as the formula for calculating SII. The formula for calculating HSI levels was 8 × the ratio of [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) / aspartate aminotransferase (AST)] + body mass index (BMI) + 2 (with diabetes mellitus) + 2 (for women). HSI=36 was taken as the cut-off value for evaluating hepatic steatosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between hepatic steatosis and SII in different models. Subgroup analysis was used to explore the relationship between different subgroups of SII and hepatic steatosis. Interaction analyses were used to assess the heterogeneity. RESULTS Out of a total of 5,119 participants, hepatic steatosis was observed in 2,742 individuals. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the independent risk factor for hepatic steatosis was a high SII level (OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.11-1.49, p<0.05). After adjusting for differences in BMI and HSI using propensity score matching (PSM), bariatric surgery also reduced SII risk. CONCLUSIONS There is a correlation between SII and hepatic steatosis, and bariatric surgery can effectively reduce SII risk in the hepatic steatosis population.

Abstract
Sepsis is one of the medical conditions with a high mortality rate and lacks specific treatment despite several years of extensive research. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) are emerging as a focal target in the pathophysiology and treatment of sepsis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from pathogenic microorganisms carry pathogenic factors such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and virulence factors and are regarded as "long-range weapons" to trigger an inflammatory response. In particular, the small size of bEVs can cross the blood-brain and placental barriers that are difficult for pathogens to cross, deliver pathogenic agents to host cells, activate the host immune system, and possibly accelerate the bacterial infection process and subsequent sepsis. Over the years, research into host-derived EVs has increased, leading to breakthroughs in cancer and sepsis treatments. However, related approaches to the role and use of bacterial-derived EVs are still rare in the treatment of sepsis. Herein, this review looked at the dual nature of bEVs in sepsis by highlighting their inherent functions and emphasizing their therapeutic characteristics and potential. Various biomimetics of bEVs for the treatment and prevention of sepsis have also been reviewed. Finally, the latest progress and various obstacles in the clinical application of bEVs have been highlighted.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between dynamic enhanced energy spectral CT parameters and Ki-67 high expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: A cross-sectional study. This retrospective case-control study analyzed the clinical data of 101 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC in Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University from December 2017 to March 2023. These 101 patients included 84 males and 17 females, and the age[M(Q1, Q3)] was 59.0(49.0,66.0)years. These patients were divided into two groups according to the immunohistochemical Ki-67 expression levels in tumor tissues: the high expression group (Ki-67%>20%, n=59) and the low expression group (Ki-67%≤20%, n=42).CT values on 70 keV and 140 keV monochromatic energy images (HU70 keV-a, HU140 keV-a, HU70 keV-p, HU140 keV-p) and water density (Dwater-a, Dwater-p) were measured in arterial phase and portal vein phase, and the difference of HU70 keV, HU140 keV, Dwater values between portal vein and arterial phase (ΔHU70 keV, ΔHU140 keV, ΔDwater), as well as ratio of HU70 keV, HU140 keV, Dwatervalues between portal vein and arterial phase (HU70 keVratio, HU140 keVratio, Dwaterratio) were calculated. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the CT spectral parameters and Ki-67%. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the factors associated with high expression of Ki-67. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were used to indicate the efficacy of dynamic enhanced spectral CT in evaluating Ki-67 high expression in HCC. Results: The high Ki-67 expression group revealed higher alpha fetal protein levels, larger tumor diameter and more irregular tumor shape compared with the low Ki-67 expression group,and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the HU140 keV-p, Dwater-p, HU70 keV ratio, HU140 keV ratio, Dwater ratio, ΔHU70 keV, ΔHU140 keV, ΔDwater were positively correlated with Ki-67 positivity rate (r:0.31-0.50, all P<0.05). The spectral CT parameters (HU70 keV-p, HU140 keV-p, Dwater-p, HU70 keV ratio, HU140 keV ratio, Dwater ratio, ΔHU70 keV, ΔHU140 keV, ΔDwater) in high Ki-67 expression group were significantly higher than those in low Ki-67 expression group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression model shows that Dwater-p(OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.05-1.29, P=0.005), ΔHU140 keV(OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.20-1.62, P<0.001) and irregular tumor morphology (OR=5.25, 95%CI: 1.61-17.12, P=0.006) were correlative factors for high Ki-67 expression. The HU140 keV ratio and ΔHU140 keV alone evaluated the highest AUC of high Ki-67 high expression in HCC, which were 0.82 (95%CI: 0.74-0.90), the sensitivity were 61.0%, and the specificity were 88.1% and 85.7%. The combined analysis of Dwater-p, ΔHU140 keV and irregular tumor morphology had an increased AUC of 0.88 (95%CI: 0.81-0.95) in assessment high Ki-67 expression, with the sensitivity of 84.7% and the specificity of 78.6%. Conclusions: Dynamic enhanced spectral CT parameters were positively correlated with the Ki-67 expression in HCC. Spectral CT provides a non-invasive method to evaluate the proliferation status of HCC cells, and the efficiency could be improved by multi-parameter analysis combining spectral CT parameters and morphologic features.

Abstract
Both parasitic diseases and cancers are disorders that seriously threaten human health. A strong correlation has been recently found between parasitic infections and cancers, and multiple species of parasites and their derived products have shown effective to suppress cancer development, progression and metastasis. Therefore, deciphering the interaction among parasites, cancers and hosts not only provides new insights into the development of cancer therapy, but also provides the basis for screening of parasites-derived active anticancer molecules. This review summarizes the latest advances in the anticancer activity of parasites and underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Sepsis is a multiple dysregulated systemic inflammatory response with high mortality and leads to public concern. This study was designed to identify possible critical pathways associated with sepsis clinical severity and outcome, which offer potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for sepsis diagnosis and treatment. Single-cell transcriptome profiles of human peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC) in the healthy control population and sepsis patients were downloaded from the sepsis database GSE167363 and performed quality control before subsequent analysis. The bulk-RNA sequencing of blood samples in the sepsis-associated databases GSE100159 and GSE133822 was also used to confirm the association between critical pathways and sepsis pathology after processing raw data. We found there was a total of 18 distinct clusters in PBMC of sepsis, which was identified by the t-SNE and UMAP dimension reduction analysis. Meanwhile, the main cell types including B, NK, T, and monocyte cells were identified via the cell maker website and the "Single R" package cell-type annotation analysis. Subsequently, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of differential expression genes in each cluster found that DEGs between healthy control and sepsis patients were significantly enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway in monocyte, NK, and T cells. Finally, GSE100159 and GSE133822 confirmed IL-17 signaling pathway-associated genes including IL-17R, TRAF6, RELB, TRAF5, CEBPB, JUNB, CXCL1, CXCL3, CXCL8, CXCR1, and CXCR2 were significantly up-regulated in sepsis blood samples compared with the age-matched healthy control population. Taken together, we concluded that the IL-17 signaling pathway serves as a significant potential mechanism of sepsis and provides a promising therapeutic target for sepsis treatment. This research will further deepen our understanding of sepsis development.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) delivery sequence varies a lot among institutions due to the differences in vendors, machine types, and beamline configurations, which impacts PBS interplay effects and treatment delivery time estimation. This study aims to develop an independent experimental approach to predict the spot scanning time parameters for a clinical superconducting cyclotron proton therapy machine. MATERIALS/METHODS This independent experimental approach employed an open-air parallel-plate detector with a temporal resolution of 0.05ms. A series of spot, energy, and dose rate patterns were designed and delivered, including (1) Spot switching time (SSWT) under different spot spacing for IEC-X, IEC-Y directions and diagonal direction (traveling in both X and Y direction) for three energy layers (110, 170 and 230 MeV); The Wilcoxon test is used to validate the prediction of SSWT along the diagonal direction. (2) Energy layer switching time (ELST) with different descending energy gaps for a fixed initial energy and different initial energies for a fixed descending energy gap. (3) Dose rate (MU/min) are measured for different minimum-MU-per-energy-layer (MMPEL), which are compared with the previous publication. RESULTS A SSWT jump at 10mm (can be customized) spot spacing is observed because of triggering the machine's "raster mode" threshold. Discontinuous two variable piecewise linear functions were used to fit the SSWT in X/Y for spot spacing and energy. SSWT in X/Y is increasing as spot spacing and energy increase. SSWT in the diagonal direction is determined by the time either in the x-direction or y-direction, whichever takes longer (see Table 1 for one example of validations). ELST is linear depending on descending energy gap. The dose rate dependence on MMPEL is confirmed with previous publications of a similar type of machine. CONCLUSION The study provided the first independent quantitative experimental modeling of the beam delivery time parameters without any information from vendors. Such machine-specific delivery sequence models could pave the foundation of precise interplay effect evaluation for clinical decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Spot-scanning proton arc (SPArc) is a novel technique that employs a planning optimization algorithm to select the energies and positions of spots along a dynamic rotational arc trajectory. The SPArc technique has the potential to achieve superior dose conformality and treatment delivery efficiency over intensity-modulated proton therapy. However, creating such a SPArc plan using existing approaches is time-consuming and computationally extensively. This study investigated the feasibility of using the deep learning (DL) technique to predict the 3D dose distribution of the SPArc treatment plan, leveraging the prior knowledge acquired from conventional intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans. MATERIALS/METHODS A DL model, 3D-Unet with residual connections and attention gates, was trained using an open-source database of CT images, critical structures, and IMRT plans from 340 head and neck cancer patients (HNC) as the base model. Transfer learning technique was applied to fine-tune the model parameters using the SPArc treatment plans created on the HNC patients from an in-house dataset, where the SPArc treatment plans (including control point sampling, energy layer distribution, arc trajectory, etc.,) were optimized using a previously developed iterative approach. The performance of the DL model was evaluated by comparing predicted and planned doses over 17 SPArc treatment plans by using 4-fold cross-validation. RESULTS The SPArc planning time per patient was 8∼12 hours, while the dose prediction time was reduced to 2∼3 minutes using the proposed DL model. The deviation of D95 in the target was (-1.8±1.6) %. The deviation of the mean dose in the parotids, cord, mandible, and brainstem were (2.5±6.5) %, (-0.5±4.3) %, (1.4±3.9) %, and (3.4±8) % of the prescription, respectively. The dice similarity coefficients of the 80%, 70%, and 60% isodose lines were (0.9±0.09), (0.93±0.01), and (0.94±0.01), respectively. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that a DL-based dose prediction model can be created with a limited number of SPArc treatment plans through transfer learning. The DL model can directly predict the 3D dose distribution in minutes for automated planning. This study paves the roadmap to develop a quick clinical decision platform for the optimal selection among the multi-treatment modalities.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To achieve a high conformal dose with Linear Energy Transfer (LET) optimized FLASH proton therapy, we introduced a new planning and delivery technique concept, the voxel-wised optimization of LET distribution and dose rate based on scanning arc therapy (SPLASHLET) MATERIALS/METHODS: The algorithm optimizes (1) the clinical dose-volume constraint based on dose distribution and (2) the clinical LET-volume constraint based on LET distribution using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) with Limited-memory BFGS solver by minimizing the monitor unit (MU) constraint on spot weight and (3) the effective dose-average dose rate by minimizing the accelerator's beam current sequentially. Such optimization framework enables the high dose conformal dynamic arc therapy with the capability of LET painting with voxel-based FLASH dose rate in an open-source proton planning platform (MatRad, Department of Medical Physics in Radiation Oncology, German Cancer Research Center-DKFZ). It aiming to minimize the overall cost function value combined with plan quality and voxel-based LET and dose rate constraints. Three representative cases (brain, liver and prostate cancer) were used for testing purposes. Dose-volume histogram (DVH), LET volume histogram (LVH) dose rate volume histogram (DRVH) and dose rate map were assessed compared to the original SPArc plan (SPArcoriginal). RESULTS SPLASHLET plan could offer comparable plan quality compared to SPArcoriginal plan. The DRVH results indicated that SPArcoriginal could not achieve FLASH using the clinic beam current configuration, while SPLASHLET could significantly not only improve V40Gy/s in target and region of interest (ROI) but also improve the mean LET in the target and reduce the high LET in organ at risk (OAR) in comparison with SPArcoriginal (Table 1). CONCLUSION SPLASHLET offers the first LET painting with voxel-based ultra-dose-rate and high-dose conformity treatment using proton beam therapy. Such technique has the potential to take full vantage of LET painting, FLASH and SPArc.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) MRI-based synthetic CT (SCT) images created using generative adversarial network (GAN) have been demonstrated to be feasible for intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) planning. However, dose calculation accuracy can be uncertain in some regions within/near the target of head and neck patients due to the local CT number estimation error or sharp dose fall-off. This study investigated the feasibility of using the SPArc technique to mitigate such dosimetric uncertainty. MATERIALS/METHODS A GAN using a 3D U-net as the generator and a 6-layer 3D convolutional neural network as the discriminator was trained with T1-weighted MR-CT image pairs from 162 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (14 for validation). The generator was used to generate SCT images from MR images for 7 test patients. For each test patient, the CT image was used to create a SPArc plan and an IMPT plan with the same clinical objectives. The SPArc plans (control point frequency sampling, arc trajectory, etc.) were optimized using a previously developed iterative approach. The dose distributions of both SPArc plans and IMPT plans were re-calculated on the SCT images and compared to the one calculated on the CT images. The dosimetric uncertainty was quantified using the gamma index. RESULTS The 2%/2mm and 3%/3mm passing rates for SPArc plans were (96.9¡À2.7) % and (98.6¡À1.5) %, while the passing rates for IMPT plans were (94.0¡À3.9) % and (96.4+2.9) %. A significant reduction in dosimetric uncertainty was identified for SPArc plans (p ¡Ü0.021). Table 1 shows the passing rates for the 7 test individuals. CONCLUSION SPArc can mitigate the uncertainty of dose calculation in MRI-based proton planning. Further research needs to validate these findings on a larger patient cohort. The study paves the road map for using MRI for SPArc planning.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is a clinical syndrome with high mortality. Subtype identification in sepsis is meaningful for improving the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The purpose of this research was to identify subtypes of sepsis using RNA-seq datasets and further explore key genes that were deregulated during the development of sepsis. Methods The datasets GSE95233 and GSE13904 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differential analysis of the gene expression matrix was performed between sepsis patients and healthy controls. Intersection analysis of differentially expressed genes was applied to identify common differentially expressed genes for enrichment analysis and gene set variation analysis. Obvious differential pathways between sepsis patients and healthy controls were identified, as were developmental stages during sepsis. Then, key dysregulated genes were revealed by short time-series analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator model. In addition, the MCPcounter package was used to assess infiltrating immunocytes. Finally, the dysregulated genes identified were verified using 69 clinical samples. Results A total of 898 common differentially expressed genes were obtained, which were chiefly related to increased metabolic responses and decreased immune responses. The two differential pathways (angiogenesis and myc targets v2) were screened on the basis of gene set variation analysis scores. Four subgroups were identified according to median expression of angiogenesis and myc target v2 genes: normal, myc target v2, mixed-quiescent, and angiogenesis. The genes CHPT1, CPEB4, DNAJC3, MAFG, NARF, SNX3, S100A9, S100A12, and METTL9 were recognized as being progressively dysregulated in sepsis. Furthermore, most types of immune cells showed low infiltration in sepsis patients and had a significant correlation with the key genes. Importantly, all nine key genes were highly expressed in sepsis patients. Conclusion This study revealed novel insight into sepsis subtypes and identified nine dysregulated genes associated with immune status in the development of sepsis. This study provides potential molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

Abstract
The gut microbiota has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of sepsis. Akkermansia muciniphila is considered to be a promising probiotic with reduced abundance in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis model, and its specific outer membrane protein (Amuc_1100) can partially recapitulate the probiotic function of Akkermansia muciniphila. However, its role in sepsis is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Amuc_1100 on the gut microbiota of septic rats, thereby improving the prognosis of septic acute lung injury (ALI). A total of 42 adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups: the sham control (SC group), the septic ALI induced by CLP method (CLP group), and administered Amuc_1100 by oral gavage (3 µg/d) for 7 d before the CLP procedure (AMUC group). The survival of the three groups was recorded and the feces and lung tissues of rats were collected 24 h after treatment for 16S rRNA sequencing and histopathological evaluation. Oral administration of Amuc_1100 improved the survival rate and alleviated lung histopathological damage induced by sepsis. Serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were substantially attenuated. Amuc_1100 significantly increased the abundance of some beneficial bacteria in septic rats. Additionally, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio was low in septic rats, which was partially corrected by increasing Firmicutes and decreasing Bacteroidetes after oral administration of Amuc_1100 (p < 0.05). In addition, Escherichia-Shigella, Bacteroides, and Parabacteroides were relatively enriched in septic rats, while in the AMUC group, their abundance was restored to levels similar to that of the healthy group. Amuc_1100 protects against sepsis by enhancing beneficial bacteria and reducing potential pathogenic bacteria. These findings indicate that Amuc_1100 can blunt CLP-induced ALI through the modulation of gut microbiota, thereby providing a new promising therapeutic target in sepsis.

Abstract
TiAl alloys have excellent high-temperature performance and are potentially used in the aerospace industry. By controlling the lamellar orientation through directional solidification (DS) technology, the plasticity and strength of TiAl alloy at room temperature and high temperatures can be effectively improved. However, various difficulties lie in ensuring the lamellar orientation is parallel to the growth direction. This paper reviews two fundamental thoughts for lamellar orientation control: using seed crystals and controlling the solidification path. Multiple specific methods and their progress are introduced, including α seed crystal method, the self-seeding method, the double DS self-seeding method, the quasi-seeding method, the pure metal seeding method, and controlling solidification parameters. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are analyzed. This paper also introduces novel ways of controlling the lamellar orientation and discusses future development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2) in human osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Paired osteochondral plugs and articular chondrocytes were isolated from the relatively healthier (intact) and damaged portions of human femoral heads collected from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis (OA). Cartilage from femoral plugs were either flash frozen for gene expression analysis or histology and immunohistochemistry. Chondrocyte apoptosis in the presence or absence of CAMKK2 inhibition was measured using flow cytometry. CAMKK2 overexpression and knockdown in articular chondrocytes were achieved via Lentivirus- and siRNA-mediated approaches respectively, and their effect on pro-apoptotic and cartilage catabolic mechanisms was assessed by immunoblotting. RESULTS CAMKK2 mRNA and protein levels were elevated in articular chondrocytes from human OA cartilage compared to paired healthier intact samples. This increase was associated with elevated catabolic marker matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), and diminished anabolic markers aggrecan (ACAN) and type II collagen (COL2A1) levels. OA chondrocytes displayed enhanced apoptosis, which was suppressed following pharmacological inhibition of CAMKK2. Levels of MMP13, pSTAT3, and the pro-apoptotic marker BAX became elevated when CAMKK2, but not its kinase-defective mutant was overexpressed, whereas knockdown of the kinase decreased the levels of these proteins. CONCLUSIONS CAMKK2 is upregulated in human OA cartilage and is associated with elevated levels of pro-apoptotic and catabolic proteins. Inhibition or knockdown of CAMKK2 led to decreased chondrocyte apoptosis and catabolic protein levels, whereas its overexpression elevated them. CAMKK2 may be a therapeutic target to prevent or mitigate human OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Xuebijing injection on inflammation in sepsis by regulating intestinal microbiota and its metabolites. METHODS A total of 45 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into Sham operation group (Sham group), cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) induced sepsis group (CLP group), and Xuebijing intervention group (XBJ group, 4 mL/kg Xuebijing injection was injected intraperitoneally at 1 hour after CLP), with 15 rats in each group. The survival of rats was observed at 24 hours after operation and sacrificed. Feces were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. RESULTS At 24 hours after operation, all rats in the Sham group survived, the mortality of rats in the XBJ group was lower than that in the CLP group [47% (7/15) vs. 60% (9/15), P > 0.05]. Compared with the Sham group, the diversity of gut microbiota in the CLP group decreased, the dominant flora changed, and the abundance of inflammation-related flora increased. Xuebijing improved the changes in gut microbiota caused by sepsis, and α diversity showed an increasing trend (Ace index: 406.0±22.5 vs. 363.2±38.2, Chao1 index: 409.7±21.8 vs. 362.4±42.5, both P > 0.05). Restrictive constrained principal coordinate analysis (cPCoA) showed a high similarity in gut microbiota among the same group of rats. The CLP group was dominated by Bacteroidetes, while the Sham and XBJ groups were dominated by Firmicutes. In addition, compared with the CLP group, Xuebijing treatment increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria in septic rats, such as Verrucomicrobia, Akkermansia and Lactobacillus. LC-MS and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) showed that there were 12 main differential metabolites among the three groups, and there were certain correlations between these metabolites, which were related to amino acid and lipid metabolism. Correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between changes in metabolites and microbial communities. CONCLUSIONS Xuebijing can improve the survival rate of septic rats, regulate the composition of intestinal flora and related metabolites, which provides a new pathophysiological mechanism for Xuebijing in the treatment of sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the performance of Clear Cell Likelihood Score (ccLS) v1.0 and v2.0 in diagnosing clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) from small renal masses (SRM). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and MR images of patients with pathologically confirmed solid SRM from the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021, and from Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University and Peking University First Hospital between January 1, 2019 and May 17, 2021. Six abdominal radiologists were trained for use of the ccLS algorithm and scored independently using ccLS v1.0 and ccLS v2.0. Random- effects logistic regression modeling was used to generate plot receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ccLS v1.0 and ccLS v2.0 for ccRCC, and the area under curve (AUC) of these two scoring systems were compared using the DeLong's test. Weighted Kappa test was used to evaluate the interobserver agreement of the ccLS score, and differences in the weighted Kappa coefficients was compared using the Gwet consistency coefficient. RESULTS In total, 691 patients (491 males, 200 females; mean age, 54 ± 12 years) with 700 renal masses were included in this study. The pooled accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of ccLS v1.0 for diagnosing ccRCC were 77.1%, 76.8%, 77.7%, 90.2%, and 55.7%, as compared with 80.9%, 79.3%, 85.1%, 93.4%, 60.6% with ccLS v2.0, respectively. The AUC of ccLS v2.0 was significantly higher than that of ccLS v1.0 for diagnosis of ccRCC (0.897 vs 0.859; P < 0.01). The interobserver agreement did not differ significantly between ccLS v1.0 and ccLS v2.0 (0.56 vs 0.60; P > 0.05). CONCLUSION ccLS v2.0 has better performance for diagnosing ccRCC than ccLS v1.0 and can be considered for use to assist radiologists with their routine diagnostic tasks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct a modABC gene knockout strain of Proteus mirabilis and explore the effect of modABC gene deletion on biological characteristics of Proteus mirabilis. METHODS Fusion PCR was used to obtain the fusion gene of modABC and the kanamycin-resistant gene Kn, which was ligated with the suicide vector pCVD442 and transduced into Proteus mirabilis. The modABC gene knockout strain of Proteus mirabilis was obtained after homologous recombination with the suicide vector. PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to identify genomic deletion of modABC gene in the genetically modified strain. The concentration of molybdate in the wild-type and gene knockout strains was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and their survival ability in LB medium was compared under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. RESULTS PCR and sanger sequencing confirmed genomic deletion of modABC gene in the obtained Proteus mirabilis strain. The concentration of intracellular molybdenum in the modABC gene knockout strain was 1.22 mg/kg, significantly lower than that in the wild-type strain (1.46 mg/kg, P < 0.001). Under the aerobic condition, the modABC gene knockout strain grown in LB medium showed no significant changes in survival ability compared with the wild-type strain, but its proliferation rate decreased significantly under the anaerobic condition and also when cultured in nitrate-containing LB medium under anaerobic condition. CONCLUSION Homologous recombination with the suicide vector can be used for modABC gene knockout in Proteus mirabilis. modABC gene participates in molybdate uptake and is associated with anaerobic growth of Proteus mirabilis in the presence of nitrate.

Abstract
We wished to establish an expert consensus on late stage of critical care (CC) management. The panel comprised 13 experts in CC medicine. Each statement was assessed based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) principle. Then, the Delphi method was adopted by 17 experts to reassess the following 28 statements. (1) ESCAPE has evolved from a strategy of delirium management to a strategy of late stage of CC management. (2) The new version of ESCAPE is a strategy for optimizing treatment and comprehensive care of critically ill patients (CIPs) after the rescue period, including early mobilization, early rehabilitation, nutritional support, sleep management, mental assessment, cognitive-function training, emotional support, and optimizing sedation and analgesia. (3) Disease assessment to determine the starting point of early mobilization, early rehabilitation, and early enteral nutrition. (4) Early mobilization has synergistic effects upon the recovery of organ function. (5) Early functional exercise and rehabilitation are important means to promote CIP recovery, and gives them a sense of future prospects. (6) Timely start of enteral nutrition is conducive to early mobilization and early rehabilitation. (7) The spontaneous breathing test should be started as soon as possible, and a weaning plan should be selected step-by-step. (8) The waking process of CIPs should be realized in a planned and purposeful way. (9) Establishment of a sleep-wake rhythm is the key to sleep management in post-CC management. (10) The spontaneous awakening trial, spontaneous breathing trial, and sleep management should be carried out together. (11) The depth of sedation should be adjusted dynamically in the late stage of CC period. (12) Standardized sedation assessment is the premise of rational sedation. (13) Appropriate sedative drugs should be selected according to the objectives of sedation and drug characteristics. (14) A goal-directed minimization strategy for sedation should be implemented. (15) The principle of analgesia must be mastered first. (16) Subjective assessment is preferred for analgesia assessment. (17) Opioid-based analgesic strategies should be selected step-by-step according to the characteristics of different drugs. (18) There must be rational use of non-opioid analgesics and non-drug-based analgesic measures. (19) Pay attention to evaluation of the psychological status of CIPs. (20) Cognitive function in CIPs cannot be ignored. (21) Delirium management should be based on non-drug-based measures and rational use of drugs. (22) Reset treatment can be considered for severe delirium. (23) Psychological assessment should be conducted as early as possible to screen-out high-risk groups with post-traumatic stress disorder. (24) Emotional support, flexible visiting, and environment management are important components of humanistic management in the intensive care unit (ICU). (25) Emotional support from medical teams and families should be promoted through"ICU diaries"and other forms. (26) Environmental management should be carried out by enriching environmental content, limiting environmental interference, and optimizing the environmental atmosphere. (27) Reasonable promotion of flexible visitation should be done on the basis of prevention of nosocomial infection. (28) ESCAPE is an excellent project for late stage of CC management.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the protective effect and its immunoregulatory mechanism of Total Glucosides of Paeony (TGP) against Graves' Disease (GD) model on BALB/c mice. Methods: Fifty female (6 weeks old, weighing 16-18 g) BALB/c mice of specific pathogen free were divided into control group according to random number table method, model group, early low-dose TGP intervention group (250 mg·kg-1·d-1), early high-dose TGP intervention group (500 mg·kg-1·d-1), and late TGP intervention group, with 10 mice in each group. Except the control group, the other 4 groups were immunized 3 times (0, 3rd, and 6th week) with recombinant adenovirus expressing the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) A subunit to establish the GD model. The early low-dose and high-dose intervention group were given diets containing different doses of TGP throughout the whole process, and the late intervention group was given diets containing low doses of TGP from the 1st week after the 2nd immunization (week 4). The levels of thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) and total thyroxine (TT4) were detected in the tail venous blood of mice at the 4th week. At the 10th week, the serum TRAb and TT4 levels and the ratio of regulatory T cells (Treg) in each group were detected, and the pathological changes of thyroid tissue were observed. Serum helper T cell 1(Th1) and Th2 cell-related factors interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-12p70, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factors-α (TNF-α) were detected to investigate the protective effect of TGP on GD model in BALB/c mice and its mechanism. Results: At the 4th week, The level of TT4 [(55.07±12.89) μg/L] in early high-dose intervention group was lower than that in model group [(74.33±8.63) μg/L] (all P<0.05). The level of TT4 in early low-dose intervention group and late intervention group and model group had no statistical significance (all P>0.05). TRAb level of mice between early low-dose, early high-dose, late intervention groups and model group was no significant difference (all P>0.05). At the 10th week, TRAb [(90.00±26.89) U/L] and TT4[(32.66±8.11) μg/L] levels in the early high-dose intervention group were lower than those in the model group [(396.97±95.35) U/L, (73.70±16.33) μg/L] (all P<0.05). The TRAb and TT4 levels in the early low-dose intervention group and late intervention group were not significantly different from those in the model group (all P>0.05). The thyroid tissue of hyperthyroidism mice in the early high dose intervention group showed focal hypertrophic changes, while the thyroid tissue of other hyperthyroidism mice showed diffuse hypertrophic changes. The CD4+CD25+/CD4+Treg ratio in early high-dose intervention group was higher than that in model group at the 10th week (4 weeks after three recombinant adenovirus immunization) (P<0.05). Compared with the model group at the 10th week, the levels of IL-2, IL-12p70 and IFN-γ in the early high-dose intervention group were all decreased (all P<0.05), and the levels of IL-10 were increased (P<0.05). Conclusion: Early high-dose (500 mg·kg-1·d-1) TGP intervention group displays a protective effect against GD mice, the mechanism of which may be related to regulatory T cell function changes and Th1/Th2 cytokine balance restoration.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to identify risk factors for developing second primary malignancies (SPMs) in colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) patients and develop a competing-risk nomogram to predict SPMs' probabilities quantitatively. METHODS Patients with colorectal NENs were retrospectively collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database during 2000-2013. Potential risk factors for SPMs' occurrence in colorectal NENs' patients were identified by the Fine and Gray's proportional sub-distribution hazards model. Then, a competing-risk nomogram was constructed to quantify SPMs' probabilities. The discriminative abilities and calibrations of this competing-risk nomogram were assessed by the area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC) and calibration curves. RESULTS We identified 11,017 colorectal NENs' patients, and randomly divided them into training (n = 7711 patients) and validation (n = 3306 patients) cohorts. In the whole cohort, 12.4% patients (n = 1369) had developed SPMs during the maximum follow-up of approximately 19 years (median 8.9 years). Sex, age, race, primary tumor location, and chemotherapy were identified as risk factors for SPMs' occurrence in colorectal NENs' patients. Such factors were selected to develop a competing-risk nomogram and showed excellent predictive ability for SPMs' occurrence (the 3-, 5-, and 10-year AUC values were 0.631, 0.632, and 0.629 in the training cohort and 0.665, 0.639, 0.624 in the validation cohort, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This research identified risk factors for SPMs' occurrence in colorectal NENs' patients. Competing-risk nomogram was constructed and proved to have good performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of sivelestat sodium in patients with sepsis. METHODS The clinical data of 141 adult patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the sivelestat sodium group (n = 70) and the control group (n = 71) according to whether they received sivelestat sodium or not. The efficacy indexes included oxygenation index, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood count (WBC), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) before and after 7 days of treatment, as well as ventilator supporting time, the length of ICU stay, the length of hospital stay and ICU mortality. The safety indicators included platelet count (PLT) and liver and kidney function. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, gender, underlying diseases, infection site, basic drugs, etiology, oxygenation index, biochemical indexes, SOFA and APACHE II scores between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the oxygenation index in 7 days was significantly increased [mmHg (1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa): 233.5 (181.0, 278.0) vs. 202.0 (153.0, 243.0), P < 0.01], the levels of PCT, CRP, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and APACHE II score were significantly decreased in the sivelestat sodium group [PCT (μg/L): 0.87 (0.41, 1.61) vs. 1.53 (0.56, 5.33), CRP (mg/L): 64.12 (19.61, 150.86) vs. 107.20 (50.30, 173.00), ALT (U/L): 25.0 (15.0, 43.0) vs. 31.0 (20.0, 65.0), APACHE II: 14 (11, 18) vs. 16 (13, 21), all P < 0.05]. However, there were no significant differences in SOFA, WBC, serum creatinine (SCr), PLT, total bilirubin (TBil), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in 7 days between the sivelestat sodium group and the control group [SOFA: 6.5 (5.0, 10.0) vs. 7.0 (5.0, 10.0), WBC (×109/L): 10.5 (8.2, 14.7) vs. 10.5 (7.2, 15.2), SCr (μmol/L): 76.0 (50.0, 124.1) vs. 84.0 (59.0, 129.0), PLT (×109/L): 127.5 (59.8, 212.3) vs. 121.0 (55.0, 211.0), TBil (μmol/L): 16.8 (10.0, 32.1) vs. 16.6 (8.4, 26.9), AST (U/L): 31.5 (22.0, 62.3) vs. 37.0 (24.0, 63.0), all P > 0.05]. The ventilator supporting time and the length of ICU stay in the sivelestat sodium group were significantly shorter than those in control group [ventilator supporting time (hours): 147.50 (86.83, 220.00) vs. 182.00 (100.00, 360.00), the length of ICU stay (days): 12.5 (9.0, 18.3) vs. 16.0 (11.0, 23.0), both P < 0.05]. However, there were no significant differences in the length of hospital stay and ICU mortality between the sivelestat sodium group and the control group [the length of hospital stay (days): 20.0 (11.0, 27.3) vs. 13.0 (11.0, 21.0), ICU mortality: 17.1% (12/70) vs. 14.1% (10/71), both P > 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Sivelestat sodium is safe and effective in patients with sepsis. It can improve the oxygenation index and APACHE II score, reduce the levels of PCT and CRP, shorten ventilator supporting time and the length of ICU stay. No adverse reactions such as liver and kidney function injury and platelet abnormality are observed.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in sepsis and bloodstream infection (BSI). Methods A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with sepsis and BSI at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to February 2022 was conducted. All the patients underwent blood culture and were divided into mNGS group and non-mNGS group according to whether mNGS was performed or not. The mNGS group was further divided into early group (< 1 day), intermediate group (1-3 days), and late group (> 3 days) according to the time of mNGS inspection. Results In 194 patients with sepsis and BSI, the positive rate of mNGS for identifying pathogens was significantly higher than that of blood culture (77.7% vs. 47.9%), and the detection period was shorter (1.41 ± 1.01 days vs. 4.82 ± 0.73 days); the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The 28-day mortality rate of the mNGS group (n = 112) was significantly lower than that of the non-mNGS group (n = 82) (47.32% vs. 62.20%, p = 0.043). The total hospitalization time for the mNGS group was longer than that for the non-mNGS group (18 (9, 33) days vs. 13 (6, 23) days, p = 0.005). There was no significant difference in the ICU hospitalization time, mechanical ventilation time, vasoactive drug use time, and 90-day mortality between the two groups (p > 0.05). Sub-group analysis of patients in the mNGS group showed that the total hospitalization time and the ICU hospitalization time in the late group were longer than those in the early group (30 (18, 43) days vs. 10 (6, 26) days, 17 (6, 31) days vs. 6 (2, 10) days), and the ICU hospitalization time in the intermediate group was longer than that in the early group (6 (3, 15) days vs. 6 (2, 10) days); the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The 28-day mortality rate of the early group was higher than that of the late group (70.21% vs. 30.00%), and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.001). Conclusions mNGS has the advantages of a short detection period and a high positive rate in the diagnosis of pathogens causing BSI and, eventually, sepsis. Routine blood culture combined with mNGS can significantly reduce the mortality of septic patients with BSI. Early detection using mNGS can shorten the total hospitalization time and the ICU hospitalization time of patients with sepsis and BSI.

Abstract
Background The mortality rate associated with sepsis in elderly individuals is higher than that in younger individuals. The intestinal microbiota has been demonstrated to play an important role in the occurrence and development of sepsis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the intestinal microbiota between aged and adult mice with sepsis. Methods Thirty male C57BL mice were randomly divided into two groups: 15 in the adult group (AD group) and 15 in the age group (Age group). All the mice underwent caecal ligation and puncture to induce sepsis. Mice faeces were collected, and analysed using 16S rRNA sequencing. The liver and colon tissues were collected. Results There were significant differences in intestinal microbiota composition between the two groups. Compared with adult sepsis mice, the diversity of intestinal microbiota in the aged group was significantly reduced and the structure of dominant intestinal microbiota was changed. In the Age group, the microbiota associated with inflammatory factors increased, and the microbiota associated with the production of SCFAs (Ruminiclostridium, Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, Rikenella, Parabacteroides, Oscillibacter, Odoribacter, Muribaculum, Lachnoclostridium, Intestinimonas, Faecalibaculum, Anaerotruncus, Alloprevotella and Absiella) decreased. The metabolic pathways related to the microbiota also changed. Moreover, the proportion of inflammatory factors in Age group was higher than that in AD group. Conclusion Our results showed that there were significant differences in the abundance and structure of microbiota between aged and adult sepsis mice, Aged sepsis mice have more severe intestinal microbiota destruction and liver tissue inflammation than adult sepsis mice.

Abstract
In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted increasing attraction in a number of scientific research fields. In particular, ferroelectric materials with reversible spontaneous electric polarization and Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with intrinsic dipoles exhibit novel properties for many practical applications. Here, the electronic properties of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures consisting of In2Se3 and MoSSe were investigated based on a first-principles approach. It was demonstrated that four studied In2Se3/MoSSe heterostructures exhibited obvious band gap (E g) differences, ranging 0.13 to 0.90 eV for PBE (0.47 to 1.50 eV for HSE06) owing to the reversible spontaneous electric polarization of In2Se3 and different intrinsic dipole of MoSSe, and different band alignments of type-I or type-II could also be obtained. The energy bands of the four vdW heterostructures could be obviously regulated by varying degrees of vertical (horizontal) strain and vertical interface electric field, and the E g varied from zero to 1.27 eV. Then, M4-based mechanical switching devices and ferroelectric diodes were designed based on the significant strain and electric field function. These results provide one possible mechanism for how the polarization direction regulates the physical properties of the system due to the different charges on the two surfaces of the out-of-plane polarized ferroelectric material, which may lead to different proximity effects on the face of the material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a serious disease caused by infection. Aminophylline has anti-asthma and anti-inflammatory effects. We aimed to explore the safety and effect of aminophylline in sepsis. METHODS We conducted a clinical randomized controlled trial involving 100 patients diagnosed with sepsis within 48 h after intensive care unit (ICU) admission in two sites. All patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard therapy with or without aminophylline. The primary clinical outcome was all-cause mortality at 28 days. RESULTS From September 27, 2018 to February 12, 2020, we screened 277 septic patients and eventually enrolled 100 patients, with 50 assigned to the aminophylline group and 50 to the usual-care group. At 28 days, 7 of 50 patients (14.0%) in the aminophylline group had died, compared with 16 of 50 (32.0%) in the usual-care group ( P = 0.032). Cox regression showed that the aminophylline group had a lower hazard of death (hazard ratio = 0.312, 95% confidence interval: 0.129-0.753). Compared with the usual-care group, patients in the aminophylline group had a longer survival time ( P = 0.039 by the log-rank test). The effects of aminophylline on vasopressor dose, oxygenation index, and sequential organ failure assessment score were time-dependent with treatment. There were no significant differences in total hospitalization days, ICU hospitalization days, and rates of serious adverse events (all P > 0.05). No adverse events were observed in the trial. CONCLUSIONS Aminophylline as an adjunct therapy could significantly reduce the risk of death and prolong the survival time of patients with sepsis. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR.org.cn, ChiCTR1800019173.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. However, there is still no single drug that could reduce septic mortality. Previous studies have reported gabexate mesylate (GM) significantly reduced serum inflammatory factors, alleviated sepsis-induced lung injury and improved clinical outcomes. This study aimed to combine with microbiome sequencing and metabolomics analysis to explore the effects of GM administration in septic rats. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into the sham control (SC), cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and GM injection (GM) groups. The mortality was measured and colonic feces were collected to examine the gut microbiota and metabolism 24 h after the procedure. The lung tissues were collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining. Results We observed the relative abundance of Pygmaiobacter, which contributed to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) promotion, Lactobacillus and Erysipelotrichaceae UCG-003 increased in the GM-treated rats, while Escherichia-Shigella and Akkermansia decreased compared to the sepsis-induced lung injury group. Furthermore, these 3 metabolites including Palmitoylethanolamide, Deoxycholic acid and Chenodeoxycholic acid correlated significantly to CLP- and GM-rich genus (P < 0.05). Besides, the lung tissues of CLP group showed more severe inflammatory infiltration and edema, and the mortality rate in the CLP group (10/20) was significantly higher than in the SC group (0/20) (P < 0.001) and GM group (4/20) (P < 0.05). Conclusion Our findings showed that GM attenuated sepsis-induced lung injury rats and regulated metabolites related to gut microbiota, which may provide an effective treatment for sepsis patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous studies have found associations between polymorphisms in some candidate genes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk. However, the association between TLR2 and TLR9 polymorphisms and COPD risk remains uncertain. METHODS Four variants (rs352140, rs3804099, rs3804100, and rs5743705) of the TLR2 and TLR9 genes in 540 COPD patients and 507 healthy controls were genotyped using the Agena MassARRAY system. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to assess the association of TLR2 and TLR9 polymorphisms with COPD risk by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS TLR9-rs352140, TLR2-rs3804100, and TLR2-rs5743705 were related to a lower risk of COPD among Chinese people and the significance still existed after Bonferroni correction. Additionally, rs3804099, rs3804100, and rs352140 were found to be associated with COPD development in different subgroups (males, age ≤ 68 years, smokers, BMI < 24 kg/m2, and acute exacerbation). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that TLR9 and TLR2 polymorphisms had protective effects on the development of COPD among Chinese people.

Abstract
A myopic patient with self-reported photorefractive keratectomy 9 years ago requested small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) as retreatment. The presence of interface bubbles while creating a corneal cap of the right eye revealed that the previous refractive surgery was laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Therefore, the SMILE procedure was resumed in the right eye, but flap-lift LASIK was performed in the left eye. Postoperative follow-up showed that the vision in both eyes reached the preoperative best corrected level. SMILE may be a potential option for refractive regression after LASIK.

Abstract
The TiAl47Cr2Nb2 alloy fatigue specimens were prepared by investment casting, and three kinds of surface processes were applied to fatigue specimens. These three processes were sand-blasting (SB), sand-blasting and shot-peening (SBSP) and sand-blasting and mechanical grinding (SBMG). The surface condition evolutions before and after thermal exposure at 700 °C for 24 h were investigated. The fatigue performances of specimens after thermal exposure were evaluated. The results show that the surface roughness Ra after SB, SBSP and SBMG processes were 3.14, 2.35 and 0.04 µm, respectively. After thermal exposure, they almost remained unchanged for all three processes. The SB process caused work hardening in the near-surface region and the work hardening reached saturation after the SB process. Due to the mechanical grinding (MG) process removing the uncertain thick hardening layer, the maximum hardness after SBMG process was noticeably lower than those after SB and SBSP processes. After thermal exposure, the maximum hardness after SB, SBSP and SBMG processes significantly recovered. The SBMG specimens had the highest fatigue limit of 350 MPa. This is attributed to the SBMG specimens having very smooth surfaces and some work hardening remaining near their surface layers.

Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study was to explore prognostic factors of bloodstream infections (BSIs), a common severe infection and a major cause of mortality worldwide, so as to construct a prognosis model of patients with BSI. Materials and Methods Clinical and biochemical test data were obtained retrospectively from the medical records of 562 patients with BSI who had been treated at a single center; the end point was 60 days of all-cause death. The chi-square test was used to compare the mortality of patients grouped by the types of antibiotic treatment. The logistic regression analysis was adopted to identify prognostic factors; the Kaplan–Meier survival curve and log-rank test were conducted to compare the survival rate of patients with different prognostic factors; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to estimate the predictive value of different prognostic factors. Results Of the 562 patients, 455 survived (80.96%), and 107 died (19.04%). The mortality rate of patients treated with a combination of antibiotics (25.40%) was higher than that treated with a single antibiotic (15.82%). Univariate analysis identified 19 prognostic factors for patients with BSI, including gender, age, diabetes, malignant tumor (non-blood system), total hospitalization time, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, creatinine, ratio of granulocytes, fibrinogen, D-dimer, platelet, C-reactive protein, shock, and respiratory failure (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that albumin (odds ratio [OR] = 0.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.89–0.99), fibrinogen (OR = 0.61, 95%CI: 0.46–0.82), shock (OR = 16.61, 95%CI: 7.00–39.41), and respiratory failure (OR = 47.53, 95%CI: 19.93–133.64) were independent factors. The combination of four indicators demonstrated a favorable predictive value for the 60-day outcome of patients with BSI, with an area under the ROC of 0.96 (95%CI: 0.94–0.99), sensitivity of 90.65%, specificity of 94.95%, and accuracy of 94.13%. Conclusions Shock, respiratory failure, albumin, and fibrinogen are potential independent prognostic factors for 60-day mortality.

Abstract
Gut microbiota affects the functions of brains. However, its mechanism in sepsis remains unclear. This study evaluated the effect of metformin on ameliorating sepsis-related neurodamage by regulating gut microbiota and metabolites in septic rats. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was used to establish the sepsis-related neurodamage animal models. Metformin therapy by gavage at 1 h after CLP administration was followed by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to ensure the efficacy and safety of metformin on the sepsis-related neurodamage by regulating gut microbiota. The gut microbiota and metabolites were conducted by 16S rRNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry metabolomic analysis. The brain tissue inflammation response was analyzed by histopathology and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This study reported brain inflammatory response, hemorrhage in sepsis-related neurodamage rats compared with the control group (C group). Surprisingly, the abundance of gut microbiota slightly increased in sepsis-related neurodamage rats than C group. The ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes was significantly increased in the CLP group than the C group. However, no difference was observed between the CLP and the metformin-treated rats (MET group). Interestingly, the abundance of Escherichia_Shigella increased in the MET group than the C and CLP groups, while Lactobacillaceae abundance decreased. Furthermore, Prevotella_9, Muribaculaceae, and Alloprevotella related to short-chain fatty acids production increased in the sepsis-related neurodamage of metformin-treated rats. Additionally, Prevotella_9 and Muribaculaceae correlated positively to 29 metabolites that might affect the inflammatory factors in the brain. The FMT assay showed that metformin improved sepsis-related neurodamage by regulating the gut microbiota and metabolites in septic rats. The findings suggest that metformin improves the sepsis-related neurodamage through modulating the gut microbiota and metabolites in septic rats, which may be an effective therapy for patients with sepsis-related neurodamage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) and its risk factors in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). METHODS We retrospectively collected the clinical and follow-up data of 650 patients with DFU treated in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Nanfang Hospital between January, 2017 and December, 2019. We compared the data between patients who had LEAD and those without LEAD and used a multivariate logistic regression model to analyze the risk factors of LEAD in DFU patients. RESULTS Among the 650 DFU patients, 470 (72.4%) had LEAD. The patients were followed up for a mean of 3.5 months, and the mean healing time of DFU was 2.55 months; healing of DFU occurred in 453 patients and 183 patients received amputation. The patients with LEAD and those without LEAD differed significantly in age, hospitalization costs, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), glycated hemoglobin, blood lipid levels, disease course, ankle brachial index, healing time, smoking history, clinical outcomes, Wagner grade and imaging results (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age (OR=1.070, 95% CI: 1.049-1.091), smoking history (OR= 2.013, 95% CI: 1.268-3.195), and a decreased DBP (OR=0.980, 95% CI: 0.963-0.997) as independent risk factors for LEAD in DFU patients. A prolonged healing time was a prominent clinical feature of DFU complicated by LEAD. CONCLUSION DFU patients have a high incidence of LEAD, which leads to high rates of disability and mortality and is associated with an advanced age, high smoking rate and longer healing time. A decreased DBP is also a risk factor for LEAD in DFU patients.

Abstract
Aim: To explore the relationship between the use of aspirin and the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane CENTRAL databases were searched systematically from the earliest available date to 13 March 2020. The primary outcome was incidence of HCC, and the secondary outcomes were recurrence and mortality of HCC. The results were expressed as the Hazard Ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Based on the heterogeneity evaluated with the I2 statistic, a meta-analysis was performed using either a random- or fixed-effects model. Results: A total of sixteen articles (2781100 participants) were included. There was lower incidence of HCC in aspirin users than those in non-aspirin users (HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.46-0.69; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis further showed that the incidence of liver cancer in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (HR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.09-0.22; p < 0.001) and virus hepatitis (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.62-0.74; p < 0.001) who use aspirin was lower than that of patients who do not use aspirin. In addition, aspirin was found to associate with decreased risk of HCC mortality (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.65-0.78; p < 0.001), not HCC recurrence (HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.15-1.76; p = 0.291). Conclusions: Aspirin use is significantly associated with the low incidence rate of liver cancer.

Abstract
Background Neutrophil elastase (NE) is associated with sepsis occurrence and progression. We hypothesized that the NE inhibitor Sivelestat might modulate abnormal gut microbiota and metabolites during sepsis. Methods Sixty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham control (SC), sepsis (CLP), and sepsis+Sivelestat (Sive) groups. The rats’ survival status was monitored for 24 hours postoperatively, and feces were collected for microbiome and non-targeted metabolomics analyses. Results Sivelestat administration significantly improved the survival of septic rats (80% vs 50%, P = 0.047). Microbiome analysis showed that the microbiota composition of rats in the CLP group was significantly disturbed, as potential pathogens such as Escherichia-Shigella and Gammaproteobacteria became dominant, and the beneficial microbiota represented by Lactobacillus decreased. These changes were reversed in Sive group, and the overall microbial status was restored to a similar composition to SC group. Differential analysis identified 36 differential operational taxonomic units and 11 metabolites between the Sive and CLP groups, such as 6-Aminopenicillanic acid, gamma-Glutamyl-leucine, and cortisone (variable importance in projection>1and P<0.05). These discriminatory metabolites were highly correlated with each other and mainly involved in the phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis pathways. Integrated microbiome and metabolome analyses found that almost all Sivelestat-modulated microbes were associated with differential metabolites (P < 0.05), such as Lactobacillus and some amino acids, suggesting that the Sivelestat-induced metabolic profile differences were in part due to its influence on the gut microbiome. Conclusion Sivelestat administration in septic rats improved survival, gut microbiota composition and associated metabolites, which could provide new options for sepsis treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) who had undergone cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in China. Methods: From November 2017 to October 2018, this retrospective multi-center study was conducted in 11 hospitals in China. It contained data from 281 cases who had undergone CPR and all of the subjects were divided into CHD group and non-CHD group. The general condition, duration of CPR, epinephrine doses during resuscitation, recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), discharge survival rate and pediatric cerebral performance category in viable children at discharge were compared. According to whether malignant arrhythmia is the direct cause of cardiopulmonary arrest or not, children in CHD and non-CHD groups were divided into 2 subgroups: arrhythmia and non-arrhythmia, and the ROSC and survival rate to discharge were compared. Data in both groups were analyzed by t-test, chi-square analysis or ANOVA, and logistic regression were used to analyze the prognostic factors for ROSC and survival to discharge after cardiac arrest (CA). Results: The incidence of CA in PICU was 3.2% (372/11 588), and the implementation rate of CPR was 75.5% (281/372). There were 144 males and 137 females with median age of 32.8 (5.6, 42.7) months in all 281 CPA cases who received CPR. CHD group had 56 cases while non-CHD had 225 cases, with the percentage of 19.9% (56/281) and 80.1% (225/281) respectively. The proportion of female in CHD group was 60.7% (34/56) which was higher than that in non-CHD group (45.8%, 103/225) (χ2=4.00, P=0.045). There were no differences in ROSC and rate of survival to discharge between the two groups (P>0.05). The ROSC rate of children with arthythmid in CHD group was 70.0% (28/40), higher than 6/16 for non-arrhythmic children (χ2=5.06, P=0.024). At discharge, the pediatric cerebral performance category scores (1-3 scores) of CHD and non-CHD child were 50.9% (26/51) and 44.9% (92/205) respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the independent prognostic factors of ROSC and survival to discharge in children with CHD were CPR duration (odds ratio (OR)=0.95, 0.97; 95%CI: 0.92~0.97, 0.95~0.99; both P<0.05) and epinephrine dosage (OR=0.87 and 0.79, 95%CI: 0.76-1.00 and 0.69-0.89, respectively; both P<0.05). Conclusions: There is no difference between CHD and non-CHD children in ROSC and survival rate of survival to discharge was low. The epinephrine dosage and the duration of CPR are related to the ROSC and survival to discharge of children with CHD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnosis value of myocardial work (MW) in evaluating left ventricular global systolic function among acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with preserved ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: This study was a diagnostic trial in a prospective case-control design. AMI patients with preserved LVEF were enrolled as AMI(LVEF>50%) group and age and sex-matched healthy individuals undergoing healthy checkup in our hospital were collected as control group. Two-dimensional dynamic images, including standard apical two-chamber, long-axis and four-chamber views in 3 consecutive cardiac cycles were acquired. General clinical data, routine echocardiography and myocardial work parameters were obtained from all subjects. The indices were compared between the two groups. Intra-observer and inter-observer repeatability of myocardial work parameters were evaluated by intra-group correlation coefficient (ICC). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the diagnostic value of global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), global work efficiency (GWE) and global work index (GWI) on the reduction of left ventricular global systolic function in AMI(LVEF>50%) group. Results: There were 30 patients in AMI(LVEF>50%) group, the age was (67.3±9.7)years, and 14 cases were female(46.7%). Thirty participants were included in the control group, the age was (68.1±8.6)years, and 12 cases were female (40.0%). Compared with the control group, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), interventricular septum thickness (IVSD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), peak early diastolic velocity of mitral orifice/tissue Doppler velocity of posterior mitral annulus (E/e), left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were significantly higher, while E and e values were significantly lower in AMI (LVEF>50%) group (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, GCW ((1 145.9±440.1)mmHg% (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (1 425.7±355.4)mmHg%), GWE ((80.9±9.5)% vs. (87.3±5.5)%), GWI ((1 001.3±416.2)mmHg% vs. (1 247.6±341.7)mmHg%) and the absolute value of long axis integral strain (GLS) ((8.5±3.4)% vs. (11.4±3.7)%) were significantly lower, while peak strain dispersion(PSD)((101.3±66.4)ms vs. (74.7±31.9)ms) was significantly higher in AMI(LVEF>50%) group (P all<0 05). There was no significant difference in GWW((177.2±71.1)mmHg% vs. (155.7±64.6)mmHg%) between the two groups (P>0.05). The reproducibility of GCW, GWW, GWE and GWI within and between observers were satisfactory (all ICC>0.75). ROC curve analysis showed that all four parameters, GCW, GWW, GWE, and GWI, could be used for the diagnosis of reduced left ventricular systolic function in patients with AMI (LVEF>50%), and their areas under the ROC curve were 0.896,0.929,0.808,0.862. Conclusion: Myocardial work assessment is valuable on diagnosing left ventricular global systolic function reduction in AMI patients with preserved LVEF.

Abstract
Increased evidence shows that gut microbiota acts as the primary regulator of the liver; however, its role in sepsis-related liver injury (SLI) in the elderly is unclear. This study assessed whether metformin could attenuate SLI by modulating gut microbiota in septic-aged rats. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was used to induce SLI in aged rats. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was used to validate the roles of gut microbiota in these pathologies. The composition of gut microbiota was analysed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Moreover, the liver and colon tissues were analysed by histopathology, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR). Metformin improved liver damage, colon barrier dysfunction in aged SLI rats. Moreover, metformin improved sepsis-induced liver inflammation and damage under gut microbiota. Importantly, FMT assay showed that rats gavaged with faeces from metformin-treated SLI rats displayed less severe liver damage and colon barrier dysfunctions than those gavaged with faeces from SLI rats. The gut microbiota composition among the sham-operated, CLP-operated and metformin-treated SLI rats was different. In particular, the proportion of Klebsiella and Escherichia_Shigella was higher in SLI rats than sham-operated and metformin-treated SLI rats; while metformin could increase the proportion of Bifidobacterium, Muribaculaceae, Parabacteroides_distasonis and Alloprevitella in aged SLI rats. Additionally, Klebsiella and Escherichia_Shigella correlated positively with the inflammatory factors in the liver. Our findings suggest that metformin may improve liver injury by regulating the gut microbiota and alleviating colon barrier dysfunction in septic-aged rats, which may be an effective therapy for SLI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodontitis is closely associated with kidney disease and reactive oxygen species (ROS) involvement. Mitochondria are the primary source of both endogenous ROS and renal energy. We investigated whether resveratrol (RSV) prevents renal injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in periodontitis rats. METHODS Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into control, experimental periodontitis (Ep), and Ep-RSV groups. To induce periodontitis, a steel ligature was placed on the cervix of the bilateral first maxillary molars. RSV (50 mg/kg/d) to the Ep-RSV group and vehicle to the Ep and control groups were gavaged. After 8 weeks, alveolar bone loss, pocket depth, gingival blood index, and tooth mobility were assessed. Oxidative stress parameters, mitochondrial structure, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial ROS, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) were analysed in renal. Renal function and histology were also evaluated. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the Ep group showed renal structural destruction, elevated oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial structure destruction, MMP loss, mitochondrial ROS accumulation, ATP reduction, and decreased SIRT1 and PGC-1α levels. RSV prevented these destruction (p < .05). However, there was no significant impairment in renal function (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Periodontitis induced mitochondrial dysfunction in renal tissues. Resveratrol exerts a preventive effect on periodontitis-induced kidney injury by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction.
