Abstract
Seed metabolites are the combination of essential compounds required by an organism across various potential environmental conditions. The seed metabolites screening framework based on the network topology approach can capture important biological information of species. This study aims to identify comprehensively the relationship between seed metabolites and pathogenic bacteria. A large-scale data set was compiled, describing the seed metabolite sets and metabolite sets of 124,192 pathogenic strains from 34 genera, by constructing genome-scale metabolic models. The enrichment analysis method was used to screen the specific seed metabolites of each species/genus of pathogenic bacteria. The metabolites of pathogenic microorganisms database (MPMdb) (http://qyzhanglab.hzau.edu.cn/MPMdb/) was established for browsing, searching, predicting, or downloading metabolites and seed metabolites of pathogenic microorganisms. Based on the MPMdb, taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses of pathogenic bacteria were performed according to the function of seed metabolites and metabolites. The results showed that the seed metabolites could be used as a feature for microorganism chemotaxonomy, and they could mirror the phylogeny of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, our screened specific seed metabolites of pathogenic bacteria can be used not only for further tapping the nutritional resources and identifying auxotrophies of pathogenic bacteria but also for designing targeted bactericidal compounds by combining with existing antimicrobial agents.IMPORTANCEMetabolites serve as key communication links between pathogenic microorganisms and hosts, with seed metabolites being crucial for microbial growth, reproduction, external communication, and host infection. However, the large-scale screening of metabolites and the identification of seed metabolites have always been the main technical bottleneck due to the low throughput and costly analysis. Genome-scale metabolic models have become a recognized research paradigm to investigate the metabolic characteristics of species. The developed metabolites of pathogenic microorganisms database in this study is committed to systematically predicting and identifying the metabolites and seed metabolites of pathogenic microorganisms, which could provide a powerful resource platform for pathogenic bacteria research.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relationships between the location and extent of diffusion of free intraperitoneal air by multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) and between the location and size of acute gastrointestinal perforation. Methods: This was a descriptive case series. We examined abdominal CT images of 33 patients who were treated for intraoperatively confirmed gastrointestinal perforation (excluding appendiceal perforation) in the Department of General Surgery, Nanfang Hospital between January and September 2022. We identified five locations of intraperitoneal air: the subphrenic space, hepatic portal space, mid-abdominal wall, mesenteric space, and pelvic cavity. We allocated the 33 patients to an upper gastrointestinal perforation (n=23) and lower gastrointestinal perforation group (n=10) base on intraoperative findings and analyzed the relationships between the locations of free gas and of gastrointestinal perforation. Additionally, we established two models for analyzing the extent of diffusion of free gas in the abdominal cavity and constructed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to analyze the relationships between the two models and the size of the gastrointestinal perforation. Results: In the upper gastrointestinal perforation group, free gas was located around the hepatic portal area in 91.3% (21/23) of patients: this is a significantly greater proportion than that found in the lower gastrointestinal perforation group (5/10) (P=0.016). In contrast, free gas was located in the mesenteric interspace in 8/10 patients in the lower gastrointestinal perforation group; this is a significantly greater proportion than was found in the upper gastrointestinal perforation group (8.7%, 2/23) (P<0.010). The sensitivity of diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal perforation base on the presence of hepatic portal free gas was 84.8% and the specificity 71.4%. Further, the sensitivity of diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal perforation base on the presence of mesenteric interspace free gas was 80.0% and the specificity 91.3%. The rates of presence of free gas in the subdiaphragmatic area, mid-abdominal wall, and pelvic cavity did not differ significantly between the two groups (all P>0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that when free gas was present in four or more of the studied locations in the abdominal cavity, the optimal cutoff for perforation diameter was 2 cm, the corresponding sensitivity 66.7%, and the specificity 100%, suggesting that abdominal free gas diffuses extensively when the diameter of the perforation is >2 cm. Another model revealed that when free gas is present in three or more of the studied locations, the optimal cutoff for perforation diameter is 1 cm, corresponding to a sensitivity of 91.7% and specificity of 76.2%; suggesting that free gas is relatively confined in the abdominal cavity when the diameter of the perforation is <1 cm. Conclusion: Identifying which of five locations in the abdominal cavity contains free intraperitoneal air by examining MSCT images can be used to assist in the diagnosis of the location and size of acute gastrointestinal perforations.

Abstract
Background Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke. The fetal-type posterior cerebral artery (FTP) affects intracranial collateral circulation, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of ICAD. Knowledge of the relationship between FTP and ICAD is important for developing treatment strategies for FTP patients diagnosed with atherosclerotic diseases. This study aims to quantitatively analyze the association between the FTP and intracranial atherosclerotic plaques using magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (VW-MRI). Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients with recent cerebrovascular symptoms (stroke or transient ischemic attack <2 weeks) who were diagnosed with atherosclerotic plaque(s) by VW-MRI in one hospital from October 2018 to March 2022. They were classified into the FTP group and the non-FTP group. Plaque characteristics and vascular-related parameters in intracranial arteries were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to determine the odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the plaque characteristics between the two groups. Results A total of 104 patients (mean age: 61.8±9.8 years, 57 males) were included for VW-MRI scan analysis. 40 (38.46%) and 64 (61.54%) were classified into the FTP and the non-FTP groups, respectively. The plaques of middle cerebral artery (MCA) in the FTP group were more likely to occur on the dorsal and superior walls of the lumen compared with the non-FTP group (37.50% vs. 17.19%, P=0.001). The remodeling index (RI) of MCA was statistically different between the two groups (1.071±0.267 vs. 0.886±0.235, P=0.007). No significant differences were found in vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) plaque distributions (17.50% vs. 9.38%, 10.00% vs. 12.50%, 20.00% vs. 17.19%, P>0.05) and characteristics between the two groups (RI: 1.095±0.355 vs. 0.978±0.251; eccentricity index: 0.539±1.622 vs. 0.550±0.171, P>0.05). Conclusions The plaques in the FTP group were more likely to occur on the dorsal and superior walls of the MCA, and the presentence of FTP was found to be significantly correlated with vascular remodeling of MCA atherosclerotic plaques. The relationship between the severity of intracranial atherosclerosis and the presence of FTP can provide valuable information for clinicians to intervene early and prevent the occurrence of stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported that puerarin possesses cardioprotective, vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and hypoglycemic properties. However, the impact of puerarin on sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) remains unexplored. In this study, we explored whether puerarin can modulate microglia-mediated neuroinflammation for the treatment of SAE and delved into the underlying mechanisms. METHODS We established a murine model of SAE through intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The puerarin treatment group received pretreatment with puerarin. For in vitro experiments, BV2 cells were pre-incubated with puerarin for 2 h before LPS exposure. We employed network pharmacology, the Morris Water Maze (MWM) test, Novel Object Recognition (NOR) test, immunofluorescence staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blotting, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to elucidate the molecular mechanism of underlying puerarin's effects in SAE treatment. RESULTS Our findings demonstrate that puerarin significantly reduced the production of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) in the peripheral blood of LPS-treated mice. Moreover, puerarin treatment markedly ameliorated sepsis-associated cognitive impairment. Puerarin also exhibited inhibitory effects on the release of TNF-α and IL-6 from microglia, thereby preventing hippocampal neuronal cell death. Network pharmacology analysis identified AKT1 as a potential therapeutic target for puerarin in SAE treatment. Subsequently, we validated these results in both in vitro and in vitro experiments. Our study conclusively demonstrated that puerarin reduced LPS-induced phosphorylation of AKT1, with the AKT activator SC79 reversing puerarin's anti-inflammatory effects through the activation of the AKT1 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Puerarin exerts an anti-neuroinflammatory effect against SAE by modulating the AKT1 pathway in microglia.

Abstract
Rapid compression experiments performed using a dynamic diamond anvil cell (dDAC) offer the opportunity to study compression rate-dependent phenomena, which provide critical knowledge of the phase transition kinetics of materials. However, direct probing of the structure evolution of materials is scarce and so far limited to the synchrotron based x-ray diffraction technique. Here, we present a time-resolved Raman spectroscopy technique to monitor the structural evolutions in a subsecond time resolution. Instead of applying a shutter-based synchronization scheme in previous work, we directly coupled and synchronized the spectrometers with the dDAC, providing sequential Raman data over a broad pressure range. The capability and versatility of this technique are verified by in situ observation of the phase transition processes of three rapid compressed samples. Not only the phase transition pressures but also the transition pathways are reproduced with good accuracy. This approach has the potential to serve as an important complement to x-ray diffraction applied to study the kinetics of phase transitions occurring on time scales of seconds and above.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the differences in intracranial culprit plaque characteristics of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), collateral circulation and hypoperfusion in patients with and without recurrent ischemic stroke and to identify the association with the recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular events. METHOD Eighty-six patients with acute/subacute ischemic stroke caused by atherosclerotic plaques of the MCA were retrospectively enrolled and grouped into patients with recurrence (n = 36) and without recurrence (n = 50). All patients underwent high-resolution vessel wall imaging and dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion weighted imaging. The differences in culprit plaque characteristics, collateral circulation and hypoperfusion in the territory of the stenotic MCA were assessed between the two groups. The relationship between plaque characteristics and hypoperfusion was evaluated. The independent factors of recurrent ischemic stroke were identified by logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Higher HbA1c, culprit plaque enhancement grade, culprit plaque enhancement ratio, and lower time to peak map based on the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (TTP-ASPECTS) were observed in the recurrence group(all p < 0.050). Both plaque enhancement grade and enhancement ratio were significantly associated with TTP-ASPECTS (p = 0.030 and 0.039, respectively). HbA1c, culprit plaque enhancement ratio and TTP-ASPECTS were independent factors of the recurrence of ischemic stroke (all p < 0.050). The area under the curve of the combination including the above factors (AUC = 0.819) was significantly higher than that of any variable alone after adjustment (all p < 0.050). CONCLUSIONS Culprit plaque enhancement ratio, TTP-ASPECTS and HbA1c were independent factors of recurrent ischemic stroke. Their combination improved the accuracy in identifying the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Benzylation of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives has been realized with various phenols by the use of ammonium acetate as a promoter (20 examples, up to 84% yield). DMSO served as the source of methylene and solvent. The employment of iron chloride as a catalyst can also afford the desired benzylated products in moderate to good yields (11 examples, up to a 74% yield).

Abstract
The application of intraoperative endoscopic in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery can compensate for the limitations of a single laparoscopic mode that only relies only on serous vision, and work as the Chinese saying "four ounces can move a thousand pounds". Intraoperative endoscopy not only effectively helps to accurately locate the tumor boundary in real-time and achieve precise resection, but also enables real time and interactive inspection of the quality of esophagojejunal anastomosis, reduces postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage and bleeding, and accelerates postoperative recovery. However, most centers in China do not emphasize the application of intraoperative endoscopy in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery due to the lack of a good cooperation mechanism between the gastrointestinal surgery team and the digestive endoscopy team. Therefore, based on clinical practice experience, the author briefly discusses the application of intraoperative endoscopic in routine laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery, including pre-examination preparation operator position, endoscopic techniques, postoperative management, etc., covering application scenarios such as early tumor localization, confirmation of upper esophageal margin confirmation, anastomotic examination, biopsy of primary lesion specimens in neoadjuvant/conversion treatment cases. We hope that it will help gastroenterologists to better apply intraoperative endoscopy in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery, and assist in precise resection and safe anastomosis of the operation.

Abstract
Objective: To predict the protection probability of different clinical outcomes after reinfection with Omicron variant in symptomatic and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients who infected with prototype strain. Methods: The data used in this study were derived from a systematic review and meta-analysis which systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Europe PMC databases, included published and uploaded studies of dynamic changes of neutralizing antibodies in symptomatic COVID-19 patients from 1 January 2020 to 2 October 2022 and extracted the literature information, study design, serological experiment information and antibody results. According to the scatter distribution characteristics of antibody titer data, a generalized additive model based on Gaussian distribution was used to fit the titer value of neutralizing antibody based on logarithmic conversion and the dynamic change pattern of neutralizing antibody in symptomatic and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients infected with prototype strain over time was obtained. In this study, the fitted antibody titers of patients on the 28th, 51st, and 261st day after symptom onset was selected to predict the protection probability. Results: Neutralizing antibodies produced in symptomatic and unvaccinated patients infected with prototype strain could provide protection against Omicron reinfection, and the probability of protection gradually decreased with time. Neutralizing antibody level on day 28 after symptom onset provided protection probability of 30.3% (95%CI: 20.0%-45.5%) against reinfection, 51.5% (95%CI: 33.4%-75.9%) against symptomatic reinfection, and 91.2% (95%CI: 77.1%-97.7%) against severe reinfection caused by Omicron BA.5. The protection probability against Omicron BA.1, BA.4 and BA.5 reinfections decreased significantly 261 days after symptom onset, showing 9.6%-12.9%, 18.4%-23.9% and 63.1%-70.3% against three clinical outcomes, respectively. At the same time point and against the same clinical outcome, the protection probability of BA.1 was the highest, followed by BA.4 and BA.5. Conclusions: Neutralizing antibodies induced in symptomatic and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients previously infected with the prototype strain have limited protection probability against Omicron BA.5 reinfections and symptomatic reinfections. The protection probability against Omicron BA.5 reinfections is 30.3% 28 days after symptom onset and decreases to about 10% after 261 days. However, the protection probability against severe reinfections is considerable, with over 90% 28 days after symptom onset and still exceeding 60% after 261 days.

Abstract
We have developed a mild sulfenylation of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines with acetyl bromide and dimethyl sulfoxide. A wide range of functionalized pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines could be prepared efficiently through the formation of a C-S bond with thiophenols (27 examples, 36-94% yields). The current strategy can also be utilized for functionalization of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines and indole.

Abstract
Transporters are the main determinant for pharmacokinetics characteristics of drugs, such as absorption, distribution, and excretion of drugs in humans. However, it is difficult to perform drug transporter validation and structure analysis of membrane transporter proteins by experimental methods. Many studies have demonstrated that knowledge graphs (KG) could effectively excavate potential association information between different entities. To improve the effectiveness of drug discovery, a transporter-related KG was constructed in this study. Meanwhile, a predictive frame (AutoInt_KG) and a generative frame (MolGPT_KG) were established based on the heterogeneity information obtained from the transporter-related KG by the RESCAL model. Natural product Luteolin with known transporters was selected to verify the reliability of the AutoInt_KG frame, its ROC-AUC (1:1), ROC-AUC (1:10), PR-AUC (1:1), PR-AUC (1:10) are 0.91, 0.94, 0.91 and 0.78, respectively. Subsequently, the MolGPT_KG frame was constructed to implement efficient drug design based on transporter structure. The evaluation results showed that the MolGPT_KG could generate novel and valid molecules and that these molecules were further confirmed by molecular docking analysis. The docking results showed that they could bind to important amino acids at the active site of the target transporter. Our findings will provide rich information resources and guidance for the further development of the transporter-related drugs.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a rigorous and orderly process with multiple steps that are mediated by multiple cells. During this process, osteoclast-mediated bone remodeling plays a critical role, and its abnormal activity leads not only to fracture susceptibility but also to impaired fracture healing. However, few studies have focused on impaired healing caused by osteoclast defects, and clinical drugs for this type of impaired fracture healing are still lacking. The cell types and regulatory pathways in the zebrafish skeletal system are highly similar to those of mammals, making the zebrafish skeletal system being widely used for skeletal-related studies. To study the process of fracture healing disorders caused by osteoclast defects and discover potential therapeutic drugs, we established an in vivo osteoclast-deficient fracture model using a previously generated fms gene mutant zebrafish (fmsj4e1). The results showed that reduced functional osteoclasts could affect fracture repair in the early stages of fracture. Then we applied an in vitro scale culture system to screen for osteoclast-activating drugs. We found the small molecule compound allantoin (ALL) being able to activate osteoclasts. Subsequently, we verified the activation role of ALL on osteoclasts and the promotion of fracture repair in an in vivo fmsj4e1 fracture defect model. Finally, by examining the osteoclastogenesis and maturation process, we found that ALL may promote osteoclast maturation by regulating RANKL/OPG, thus promoting fmsj4e1 fracture healing. Our study provides a potential new approach for the future improvement of fracture healing disorders caused by osteoclast defects.

Abstract
Two novel strains GSK1Z-4-2T and MQZ15Z-1 were isolated from branches of mangrove plants collected from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Both strains were Gram-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated and non-spore-forming bacteria. The comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences initially indicated that the two strains were assigned to the genus Ancylobacter with sharing the highest similarity to Ancylobacter pratisalsi DSM 102029T (97.3%). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) values between strains GSK1Z-4-2T and MQZ15Z-1 were 99.9%, 97.4% and 77.4%, respectively, which revealed that the two strains belonged to the same species. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and the core proteome showed that the two strains formed a well-supported cluster with A. pratisalsi DSM 102029T. Moreover, the ANI and isDDH values between strain GSK1Z-4-2T and A. pratisalsi DSM 102029T were 83.0% and 25.8%, respectively, demonstrating that strain GSK1Z-4-2T was a previously undescribed species. Meanwhile, strains GSK1Z-4-2T and MQZ15Z-1 exhibited most of chemotaxonomic and phenotypic features consistent with the description of the genus Ancylobacter. Based on the polyphasic data, strains GSK1Z-4-2T and MQZ15Z-1 should represent a novel species of the genus Ancylobacter, for which the name Ancylobacter mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GSK1Z-4-2T (=MCCC 1K07181T = JCM 34924T).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulation of glutamate damages neurons via the reactive oxygen species (ROS) injury, which was involved in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanism of neuronal oxidative stress damage caused by glutamate and the intervention targets still needs to be further studied. This study explored whether 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-induced glucose metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction were related to glutamate-dependent ROS injury of the neuron. METHODS Neuronal oxidative stress injury was induced by glutamate treatment in HT-22 cells. Western blotting was used to evaluate the phosphorylation of the AMPK. The XF24 Flux Analyzer was used to measure the effect of glutamate and Compound C (a well-known pharmacological inhibitor of AMPK phosphorylation) on the cellular oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of HT-22 cells. Glucose uptake, intracellular ROS, mitochondrial potential, apoptosis and cell viability were quantified using biochemical assays. RESULTS Glutamate caused the phosphorylation of AMPK and subsequently promoted the glucose uptake. Furthermore, AMPK-mediated glucose uptake enhanced OCR and increased the intracellular ROS levels in neurons. The pharmacological inhibition of AMPK phosphorylation by Compound C attenuated glutamate-induced toxicity in HT22 cells by regulating the glucose uptake/mitochondrial respiration/ROS pathway. CONCLUSIONS The AMPK phosphorylation/glucose uptake/mitochondrial respiration/ROS pathway was involved in glutamate-induced excitotoxic injury in HT22 cells. The inhibition of AMPK phosphorylation may be a potential target for the development of therapeutic agents for treating the glutamate-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
We have successfully modified a series of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines via direct nitration under mild reaction conditions. Easily accessible nitrates including CAN, Cu(NO3)2·H2O, and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O all can serve as effective nitrating reagents for functionalizing pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines. Various nitro-bearing pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines have been efficiently prepared in acceptable to good yields.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the reasonable time of prophylactic thyroidectomy for RET gene carriers in multiple endocrine neoplasia(MEN) 2A/2B families. Methods: From May 2015 to August 2021, RET gene carriers in MEN2A/MEN2B families were dynamically followed up at the Department of Thyroid Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Tongren Hospital of Capital Medical University. The high-risk patients were encouraged to undergo prophylacitc total thyroidectomy according to the principle of "graded early warning system", namely the evaluation of gene detection, calcitonin value and ultrasound examination successively. Seven cases underwent the surgery, including 3 males and 4 females, aged from 7 to 29 years. According to the risk stratification listed in the guidelines of the American Thyroid Association in 2015, there were 2 cases of the highest risk, 2 cases of the high risk and 3 cases of the modest risk. Calcitonin index remained within the normal range in 3 cases and elevated in 4 cases before operation. All 7 patients underwent thyroidectomy with lymph node dissection of the level Ⅵ performed in 4 patients. Results: The time from suggestion to operation was 2 to 37 months, with an average of 15.1 months. The 6 patients were medullary thyroid carcinoma and 1 case with C-cell hyperplasia. The follow-up time was 2 to 82 months, with an average of 38.4 months. Postoperative serum calcitonin levels of all cases decreased to normal level, with biochemical cure. There was no sign of recurrence on ultrasound examination. All 7 patients had no serious complications, no obvious thyroid dysfunction. Their height, weight and other indicators of pediatric patients were similar to those of their peers, with normal growth and development. Conclusion: For healthy people with MEN2A/MEN2B family history, prophylactic thyroidectomy can be carried out selectively based on the comprehensive evaluation of "graded early warning system" with strict screening and close monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the association of pre-diabetes(i.e., the early stages of glucometabolic disturbance) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with intracranial plaque characteristics in patients with acute ischemic stroke using three-dimensional high-resolution MR imaging. METHODS One hundred and forty-three symptomatic patients with acute ischemic stroke attribute to intracranial atherosclerotic plaque were prospectively enrolled. All participants were further divided into three groups: normal glucose metabolism(non-diabetes) group(n = 41), pre-diabetes group(n = 45), and T2DM group(n = 57) according to glucometabolic status. Culprit plaque characteristics (such as plaque burden, normalized wall index and enhancement ratio), total plaque number, and global plaque enhancement score were analyzed and compared among the three glucometabolic groups. The association between pre-diabetes and T2DM with intracranial plaque characteristics was assessed by logistic regression and multivariate linear regression. RESULTS Plaque number was higher in patients with pre-diabetes and T2DM compared with those with non-diabetes(3.71 ± 1.83 and 3.75 ± 1.71 vs 2.24 ± 1.46, p = 0.006). Multivariate logistic regression showed a significant association of multiple intracranial plaques with pre-diabetes(OR 3.524, 95% CI 1.082 ~ 11.479, p = 0.037), T2DM(OR 3.760, 95% CI 1.098 ~ 12.872, p = 0.035) and luminal stenotic rate. Both pre-diabetes and T2DM were significantly associated with culprit plaque enhancement ratio(β = 0.527 and β = 0.536; respectively; p < 0.001) and global plaque enhancement score(β = 0.264 and β = 0.373; respectively; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with pre-diabetes and T2DM had similar intracranial atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, as demonstrated by multiple plaques, increased culprit plaque enhancement ratio and global plaque enhancement score. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Pre-diabetes might be a risk factor for intracranial plaque vulnerability. It is necessary to monitor a slight increase in blood glucose in non-diabetes patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
A endospore-forming bacterium, designated strain KQZ6P-2T, was isolated from surface-sterilized bark of the mangrove plant Kandelia candel, collected from Maowei Sea Mangrove Nature Reserve in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Strain KQZ6P-2T was able to grow at NaCl concentrations in the range of 0-3 % (w/v) with optimum growth at 0-1 % (w/v) NaCl. Growth occurred at 20-42 °C (optimal growth at 30-37 °C) and pH 5.5-6.5 (optimal growth at pH 6.5). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain KQZ6P-2T and its closest phylogenetic neighbour Paenibacillus chibensis JCM 9905T was 98.2 %. Phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KQZ6P-2T formed a distinct lineage with Paenibacillus chibensis JCM 9905T. The draft genome of strain KQZ6P-2T was 5 937 633 bp in size and its DNA G+C content was 47.2mol%. Comparative genome analysis revealed that the average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values among strain KQZ6P-2T and its related species were below the cut-off levels of 95, 70 and 95.5%, respec-tively. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain KQZ6P-2T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. Major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and C16:0. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, four unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid and five unidentified lipids. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain KQZ6P-2T represents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KQZ6P-2T (=MCCC 1K07172T =JCM 34931T).

Abstract
Neijiang (NJ) and Yacha (YC) are two indigenous pig breeds in the Sichuan basin of China, displaying higher resistance to diseases, lower lean ratio, and slower growth rate than the commercial Western pig breed Yorkshire (YS). The molecular mechanisms underlying the differences in growth and development between these pig breeds are still unknown. In the present study, five pigs from NJ, YC, and YS breeds were subjected to the whole genome resequencing, and then the differential single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were screened using a 10-kb window sliding in 1-kb step using the Fst method. Finally, 48,924, 48,543, and 46,228 nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism loci (nsSNPs) were identified between NJ and YS, NJ and YC, and YC and YS, which highly or moderately affected 2,490, 800, and 444 genes, respectively. Moreover, three nsSNPs were detected in the genes of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R), insulin-like growth factor 2 and mRNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3), which potentially affected the transformation of acetyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA and the normal functions of the insulin signaling pathways. Moreover, serous determinations revealed significantly lower acetyl-CoA content in YC than in YS, supporting that ACAT1 might be a reason explaining the differences in growth and development between YC and YS breeds. Contents of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidic acid (PA) significantly differed between the pig breeds, suggesting that glycerophospholipid metabolism might be another reason for the differences between Chinese and Western pig breeds. Overall, these results might contribute basic information to understand the genetic differences determining the phenotypical traits in pigs.

Abstract
Complement activation is thought to underline the pathologic progression of obesity-related metabolic disorders; however, its role in adaptive thermogenesis has scarcely been explored. Here, we identify complement C3a receptor (C3aR) and C5a receptor (C5aR) as critical switches to control adipocyte browning and energy balance in male mice. Loss of C3aR and C5aR in combination, more than individually, increases cold-induced adipocyte browning and attenuates diet-induced obesity in male mice. Mechanistically, loss of C3aR and C5aR increases regulatory T cell (Treg) accumulation in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue during cold exposure or high-fat diet. Activated Tregs produce adenosine, which is converted to inosine by adipocyte-derived adenosine deaminases. Inosine promotes adipocyte browning in a manner dependent on activating adenosine A2a receptor. These data reveal a regulatory mechanism of complement in controlling adaptive thermogenesis and suggest that targeting the C3aR/C5aR pathways may represent a therapeutic strategy in treating obesity-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Human monkeypox is a viral zoonotic smallpox-like disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) and has become the greatest public health threat in the genus Orthopoxvirus after smallpox was eradicated. The host immune response to MPXV plays an essential role in disease pathogenesis and clinical manifestations. MPXV infection leads to skin lesions with the genital area as the main feature in the current outbreak and triggers a strong immune response that results in sepsis, deep tissue abscess, severe respiratory disease, and injuries to multiple immune organs. Emerging evidence shows that the immunopathogenesis of MPXV infection is closely associated with impaired NK-cell function, lymphopenia, immune evasion, increased antibodies, increased blood monocytes and granulocytes, cytokine storm, inhibition of the host complement system, and antibody-dependent enhancement. In this overview, we discuss the immunopathology and immunopathogenesis of monkeypox to aid the development of novel immunotherapeutic strategies against monkeypox.

Objective: To inhibit the stemness maintenance potential of endometrial cancer and increase the sensitivity of endometrial cancer side population cells to chemotherapy drugs by inducing extensive deSUMOylation modification of proteins. Methods: Flow cytometry was used to sort and culture CD133(+) CD44(+) KLE endometrial cancer cell clone spheres. Protein expression level of small ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (SUMO1) and two stemness maintenance genes of tumor side population cells, octamer binding transcription factor-4 (Oct4) and sex determining region Y-box2 (Sox2), were detected by western blotting method. Lentivirus-mediated Sentrin/SUMO-specific proteases 1 (SENP1) gene was stably transfected into KLE side population cells. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of SENP1, SUMO1, Oct4 and Sox2. The clone formation rate was compared between KLE side population cells with or without SENP1 overexpression. Flow cytometry was applied to detect cell cycle changes. 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazole-2)-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) experiment and flow cytometry apoptosis method were used to detect the chemosensitivity of the side population of endometrial cancer cells to cisplatin. Tumor-bearing mouse models of endometrial cancer were established to detect the effect of SENP1 overexpression on the chemotherapy sensitivity of cisplatin. Results: Compared with CD133(-)CD44(-) KLE cells, CD133(+) CD44(+) KLE side population cells could form clonal spheres and express higher levels of SUMO1, Oct4 and Sox2 proteins (P<0.05). Compared with KLE side population cells that were not transfected with SENP1 gene, the expression level of SENP1 protein in KLE side population cells overexpressing SUMO1、Oct4 and Sox2 were lower. The clonal sphere formation rate was reduced from (25.67±5.44)% to (7.46±1.42)%, and cell cycle shifted from G(0)/G(1) phase to G(2) phase. IC(50) of cisplatin decreased from (55.46±6.14) μg/ml to (11.55±3.12) μg/ml, and cell apoptosis rate increased from (9.76±2.09)% to (16.79±3.44)%. Overexpression of SENP1 could reduce the tumorigenesis rate of KLE side population cells in vivo and increase their chemotherapy sensitivity to cisplatin (P<0.05). Conclusion: Overexpression of SENP1 can induce protein deSUMOylation modification, inhibit the stemness maintenance potential of endometrial cancer side population cells, and enhance their chemotherapy sensitivity, which provides a new reference for gene therapy of endometrial cancer.

Abstract
A convenient synthesis of methylene-bridged pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines has been developed. Treatment of pyrroloisoquinolines with acetyl chloride and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) at ambient temperature afforded bispyrroloisoquinolylmethanes in 17-85% yields. This reaction system can also be expanded to the synthesis of bispyrrolylmethanes (34-94% yields). Easy chemical transformation of methylene-bridged pyrroloisoquinoline provided an unsymmetric acid and amide possessing a privileged framework.

Abstract
Objective: To preliminarily analyze the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and to investigate its potential regulatory mechanism in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Methods: Patients underwent nasal endoscopic surgery in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from February 2020 to May 2021 were selected, including 17 males and 6 females, aging from 23 to 66 years old. Expression of ACE2 was evaluated via immunohistochemical staining in controls with non-chronic rhinosinusitis, non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (non-ECRSwNP), and eosinophilic CRSwNP (ECRSwNP) tissue, respectively. Correlations between ACE2 and the indicated Th1/Th2-related cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, TSLP and periostin) were analyzed based on GSE72713 dataset. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed via string database, immune infiltration of GSE72713 dataset was evaluated using cibersort algorithm. ACE2 was comprehensively analyzed by microRNA regulatory network, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and pharmacological analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad 7.0 and SPSS 20.0 software. Results: ACE2 was up-regulated in non-ECRSwNP compared with ECRSwNP. Microarray analysis showed that ACE2 was positively correlated with IFN-γ while inversely correlated with IL-5, IL-13 and periostin significantly. Analysis of immune infiltration suggested that ACE2 expression correlated positively with the number of M1 macrophage while negatively with M2 macrophage. GSEA demonstrated that interferon-related signaling pathways were up-regulated in non-ECRSwNP, and miRNA-200B/miRNA-200C/miRNA-429 pathways targeting ACE2 were enriched in ECRSwNP. Results of pharmacological analysis indicated that ampicillin was able to promote the expression of ACE2 whereas acetaminophen could down regulated the expression of ACE2. Conclusion: Expression pattern of ACE2 is varied in non-ECRSwNP and ECRSwNP, which may be related to the different infiltration of indicated cytokines and different regulatory pathways of miRNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ADRB3 (β3-adrenergic receptors), which is predominantly expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT), can activate BAT and improve metabolic health. Previous studies indicate that the endocrine function of BAT is associated with cardiac homeostasis and diseases. Here, we investigate the role of ADRB3 activation-mediated BAT function in cardiac remodeling. METHODS BKO (brown adipocyte-specific ADRB3 knockout) and littermate control mice were subjected to Ang II (angiotensin II) for 28 days. Exosomes from ADRB3 antagonist SR59230A (SR-exo) or agonist mirabegron (MR-exo) treated brown adipocytes were intravenously injected to Ang II-infused mice. RESULTS BKO markedly accelerated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis compared with control mice after Ang II infusion. In vitro, ADRB3 KO rather than control brown adipocytes aggravated expression of fibrotic genes in cardiac fibroblasts, and this difference was not detected after exosome inhibitor treatment. Consistently, BKO brown adipocyte-derived exosomes accelerated Ang II-induced cardiac fibroblast dysfunction compared with control exosomes. Furthermore, SR-exo significantly aggravated Ang II-induced cardiac remodeling, whereas MR-exo attenuated cardiac dysfunction. Mechanistically, ADRB3 KO or SR59230A treatment in brown adipocytes resulted an increase of iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) in exosomes. Knockdown of iNOS in brown adipocytes reversed SR-exo-aggravated cardiac remodeling. CONCLUSIONS Our data illustrated a new endocrine pattern of BAT in regulating cardiac remodeling, suggesting that activation of ADRB3 in brown adipocytes offers cardiac protection through suppressing exosomal iNOS.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the safety and effectiveness of esophagojejunostomy (EJS) through extracorporeal and intracorporeal methods after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Clinicopathological data of 261 gastric cancer patients who underwent LTG, D2 lymphadenectomy, and Roux-en-Y EJS with complete postoperative 6-month follow-up data at the General Surgery Department of Nanfang Hospital from October 2018 to June 2021 were collected. Among these 261 patients, 139 underwent EJS with a circular stapler via mini-laparotomy (extracorporeal group), while 122 underwent intracorporeal EJS (intracorporeal group), including 43 with OrVil(TM) anastomosis (OrVil(TM) subgroup) and 79 with Overlap anastomosis (Overlap subgroup). Compared with the extracorporeal group, the intracorporeal group had higher body mass index, smaller tumor size, earlier T stage and M stage (all P<0.05). Compared with the Overlap subgroup, the Orvil(TM) subgroup had higher proportions of upper gastrointestinal obstruction and esophagus involvement, and more advanced T stage (all P<0.05). No other significant differences in the baseline data were found (all P>0.05). The primary outcome was complications at postoperative 6-month. The secondary outcomes were operative status, intraoperative complication and postoperative recovery. Continuous variables with a skewed distribution are expressed as the median (interquartile range), and were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables are expressed as the number and percentage and were compared with the Pearson chi-square, continuity correction or Fisher's exact test. Results: Compared with the extracorporeal group, the intracorporeal group had smaller incision [5.0 (1.0) cm vs. 8.0 (1.0) cm, Z=-10.931, P=0.001], lower rate of combined organ resection [0.8% (1/122) vs. 7.9% (11/139), χ(2)=7.454, P=0.006] and higher rate of R0 resection [94.3% (115/122) vs. 84.9 (118/139), χ(2)=5.957, P=0.015]. The morbidity of intraoperative complication in the extracorporeal group and intracorporeal group was 2.9% (4/139) and 4.1% (5/122), respectively (χ(2)=0.040, P=0.842). In terms of postoperative recovery, the extracorporeal group had shorter time to liquid diet [(5.1±2.4) days vs. (5.9±3.6) days, t=-2.268, P=0.024] and soft diet [(7.3±3.7) days vs. (8.8±6.5) days, t=-2.227, P=0.027], and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(10.5±5.1) days vs. (12.2±7.7) days, t=-2.108, P=0.036]. The morbidity of postoperative complication within 6 months in the extracorporeal group and intracorporeal group was 25.9% (36/139) and 31.1%, (38/122) respectively (P=0.348). Furthermore, there was also no significant difference in the morbidity of postoperative EJS complications [extracorporeal group vs. intracorporeal group: 5.0% (7/139) vs. 82.% (10/122), P=0.302]. The severity of postoperative complications between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.289). In the intracorporeal group, the Orvil(TM) subgroup had more estimated blood loss [100.0 (100.0) ml vs.50.0 (50.0) ml, Z=-2.992, P=0.003] and larger incision [6.0 (1.0) cm vs. 5.0 (1.0) cm, Z=-3.428, P=0.001] than the Overlap subgroup, seemed to have higher morbidity of intraoperative complication [7.0% (3/43) vs. 2.5% (2/79),P=0.480] and postoperative complications [37.2% (16/43) vs. 27.8% (22/79), P=0.286], and more severe classification of complication (P=0.289). Conclusions: The intracorporeal EJS after LTG has similar safety to extracorporeal EJS. As for intracorporeal EJS, the Overlap method is safer and has more potential advantages than Orvil(TM) method, and is worthy of further exploration and optimization.

A new endophytic bacterium, designated strain MQZ13P-4T was isolated from Sonneratia apetala collected from Maowei sea Mangrove Nature Reserve in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain MQZ13P-4T and its closest phylogenetic neighbour
Jiella endophytica
CBS5Q-3T was 97.9 %. Phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA gene sequences and whole-genome sequences showed that strain MQZ13P-4T formed a distinct lineage with
Jiella endophytica
CBS5Q-3T,
Jiella pacifica
40Bstr34T and
Jiella aquimaris
JCM 30119T. The draft genome of strain MQZ13P-4T was 5 153 243 bp in size and its DNA G+C content was 68.1 mol%. Comparative genome analysis revealed that the average nucleotide identity, digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values among strain MQZ13P-4T and other related species were below the cut-off levels of 95, 70 and 95.5 %, respectively. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain MQZ13P-4T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The respiratory quinone was Q-10. The major cellular fatty acid was C18 : 1
ω7c. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. Strain MQZ13P-4T had a typical chemical compositions of fatty acids, lipids, quinones and diagnostic diamino acid for
Jiella
species, but could be distinguished from known species of the genus
Jiella
. Based on polyphasic evidence, strain MQZ13P-4T represents novel species of the genus
Jiella
, for which the name Jiella sonneratiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MQZ13P-4T (=CGMCC 1.18727T=JCM 34333T).

Abstract
A novel species of endophytic actinobacterium, designated strain GBK3QG-3T, was isolated from surface-sterilized root of Kandelia candel collected from Beilun Estuary, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, PR China. Cells of strain GBK3QG-3T were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped. Growth of GBK3QG-3T was observed at 10–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). The G+C content of genomic DNA was determined to be 72.2 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain GBK3QG-3T was most related to the type strain of
Nocardioides agrisoli
CCTCC AB 2017058T (97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), followed by
Nocardioides ginkgobilobae
SYP-A7303T (97.0 %) and
Nocardioides aquiterrae
GW-9T (96.9 %). Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain GBK3QG-3T and some strains of the genus
Nocardioides
with publicly available genomes were below 84.3 and 30.0 %, respectively. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ll-diaminopimelic acid. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, an unknown phospholipid and an unknown lipid. The major menaquinone was identified as MK-8(H4), and the major fatty acids were identified as iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Based on evidence collected from the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses, we propose a novel species named Nocardioides mangrovi sp. nov. The type strain is GBK3QG-3T (=CGMCC 4.7708T=JCM 34553T).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical effect of Pinggan Jiangya decoction combined with penetrating needling at Baihui (GV20) in a period of day from 7 am to 9 am in the treatment of grade 1 and 2 essential hypertension (EH). METHODS A total of 150 cases of grade 1 and 2 EH patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 75 cases in each group. In the control group, Pinggan Jiangya decoction was prescribed for oral administration one dose a day, while in the observation group, on the basis of the treatment as the control group, penetrating needling was exerted at GV20 once daily. The treatment duration was 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, the TCM syndrome score, 24 h average systolic blood pressure (24 h ASBP), 24 h average diastolic blood pressure (24 h ADBP), 24 h average pulse pressure difference (24 h PP), morning blood pressure surge (MBPS), 24 h SBP variability (24 h SBPV), 24 h DBP variability (24 h DBPV), serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and melatonin (MT) were compared in the patients of the two groups. The clinical therapeutic effect was observed in the two groups. RESULTS After the treatment, in the self-comparison of each group, the scores of headache, vertigo, backache, soft knees, tinnitus, 24 h ASBP, 24 h ADBP, 24 h PP, MBPS, 24 h SBPV and 24 h DBPV in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.01), and the above indexes in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The level of serum 5-HT after the treatment was lower than that of before the treatment (P<0.01), while the level of MT was higher than that of before the treatment (P<0.01) in both two groups, and the level of 5-HT in the observation group was lower than that of the control group, while the level of MT was higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.3% (70/75), better than 76.0% (57/75) of the control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Pinggan Jiangya decoction combined with penetrating needling at GV20 in a period of day from 7 am to 9 am can regulate the levels of serum MT and 5-HT, effectively reduce blood pressure, improve blood pressure variability, control morning peak blood pressure, and has a remarkable effect in the treatment of grade 1 and 2 EH.

Abstract
A series of polycrystalline NiCr2-xAlxO4 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) spinel ceramics have been synthesized using a sol-gel method. DC magnetization measurements are carried out at different temperatures and magnetic fields. A novel magnetization reversal has been observed in the field cooling process for the x = 0.2 sample, which can be ascribed to the competition between two magnetic sublattices due to their different temperature dependences. The magnetic interaction evolution, related to the complex magnetic properties, is revealed by exchange constants that have been estimated according to ferrimagnetic Curie-Weiss fitting and mean field theory. The fitting result confirmed the evolution of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic components with Al substitution, which is supported by the observations from the isothermal magnetization measurements. The positive and negative values of the magnetic moment can be utilized for storage applications based on the results of magnetic switching effect measurements.

Abstract
An efficient methylthiomethylation of pyrroloisoquinolines and pyrroloquinolines has been reached by the use of ammonium acetate and dimethyl sulfoxide. Methylthiomethylated heterocycles can be obtained in moderate to good yields in most cases, while trace amounts to good yields of methylene-bridged products can be observed. Choice of DMSO activator and its amount have a great influence on the chemoselectivity of this process. It is worth noting that this process can also be scalable. Another feature of this process is that the product can be transformed to sulfone and sulfoxide easily.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the perioperative period and long-term effects of minimally invasive gasless laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy (LTE) and minimally invasive combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy (CTLE) for stageⅠ-Ⅲ cervical esophageal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 158 consecutive patients with cervical esophageal cancer stageⅠto Ⅲ who underwent minimally invasive CTLE or LTE esophagectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2008 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 40 pairs of cases were matched (40 cases of CTLE and 40 cases of LTE surgery) after using the propensity score matching analysis which aimed to balance the influence of confounding factors between groups, including 43 males and 37 females, aged 51 to 81 (62.5±7.0) years old. The perioperative variables and long-term outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results: The operation time ((148.0±31.3) min vs (201.3±48.3) min), intraoperative blood loss ((192.6±77.9) ml vs (387.8±112.4) ml), ICU monitoring time (0 day vs 1 day), and the complication rates of postoperative pneumonia (0 vs 15%) and arrhythmia (2.5% vs 20%) were lower in the LTE group than that of in the CTLE group(all P<0.05). The number of lymph node dissections in the CTLE group was higher than that of in the LTE group (21.2±6.1 vs 12.9±4.3, P<0.001). The 3-and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate and disease-free survival (DFS) rate in the LTE group (OS: 53.53% and 34.27%, DFS: 43.62% and 24.89%, respectively) and the CTLE group (OS: 59.48% and 37.29%, DFS: 49.12% and 28.82%, respectively) had no statistical differences (all P>0.05). Conclusion: The LTE group has advantages in reducing operation time, intraoperative bleeding, ICU monitoring time, postoperative incidence of pneumonia and arrhythmia, and its long-term prognosis is comparable to that of the CTLE group.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the roles of G Protein-Coupled Receptor 68 (GPR68) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in TPF-(paclitaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil) induced chemotherapy for middle-advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas. Methods: A total of 31 patients with middle-advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma before TPF-inducted chemotherapy were enrolled from September 2012 to November 2017 in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, including 28 males and 3 females, aged 43 to 71 years old. The expression of GPR68 and tumor infiltrating CD4+and CD8+T cells before chemotherapy was detected by immunohistochemical staining, and the relationships between GPR68 expression and clinical features, chemotherapy efficacy and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using t-test. Results: After 3 cycles of chemotherapy, there were 4, 14, 10 and 3 patients respectively with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD). The positive rates of GPR68 and CD8 were 25% and 40% respectively in the effective group (CR+PR), while 50% and 15% in the ineffective group (SD+PD), with statistically significant differences between two groups (t=5.17 and 12.86,P<0.001). Linear regression analysis showed that GPR68 was negatively correlated with CD8+T cells (r=-0.64,P<0.001). There was no significant correlation between the CD4 expression and TPF efficacy (P>0.05). The mean OS was 12.5 months in patients with high-expressed GPR68 and 25.0 months in patients with low-expressed GPR68, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.005). And mean OS was 25.0 months in patients with high-expressed CD8 and 14.5 months in low-expressed CD8, with a statistically significant difference (HR=2.58, P=0.019). Cox regression analysis showed that GPR68 and CD8+T cells were significant prognostic factors (OR(95%CI)=3.27(2.46-5.97) and 1.53(0.78-1.82), all P<0.05), while CD4 had no significant effect on prognosis (P>0.05). Conclusion: GPR68 and CD8+T cells are expected to be biomarkers for evaluating the efficacy and prognosis of TPF-induced chemotherapy in patients with middle-advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
For real-time evaluation of the cell behavior and function under in vivo-like 3D environment, the 3D functionalized scaffolds simultaneously integrate the function of 3D cell culture, and electrochemical sensing is a convincing candidate. Herein, Fe3O4 nanoparticles as the nanozyme (peroxide oxidase mimics) were modified on graphene foam scaffold to construct a 3D integrated platform. The platform displayed a wide linear range of 100 nM to 20 μM and a high sensitivity of 53.2 nA μM-1 toward detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under the working potential of + 0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The obtained 3D scaffold also displayed satisfactory selectivity toward the possible interferents that appeared in the cell culture environment. Furthermore, the cells still maintained high cell viability (almost 100%) after their growth and proliferation on the scaffold for 7 days. With the superior performance on cell culture and electrochemical monitoring, the functions on the 3D culture of MCF-7 or HeLa cells and in situ monitoring of cell-released H2O2 was easily achieved on this 3D platform, which show its great application prospects on further cancer-related disease diagnosis or drug screening. A nanozyme-based three-dimensional graphene scaffold was successfully constructed for cell culture and identification of cancer cells through in situ electrochemical monitoring of the cell-released H2O2.
