Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and/or anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and the occurrence of thyroid immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with malignant tumors who treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods: A case-control study. A total of 116 patients with malignant tumor who received ICIs treatment and underwent thyroid function evaluation at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2017 to April 2023 were enrolled retrospectively, including 77 males and 39 females, with a median age of (M(Q1, Q3)) 63.0 (55.0, 70.0) years. The patients were divided into the euthyroid group (n=58) and the thyroid irAEs group (n=58) according to whether thyroid irAEs occurred after ICIs treatment. The clinical characteristics and baseline anti-thyroid antibodies associated with the occurrence of thyroid irAEs after ICIs treatment in patients with malignant tumors were evaluated. Variables with statistical significance in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression model to analyze the risk factors for thyroid irAEs in patients with malignant tumors who received ICIs treatment. Results: In irAEs group, therewore 4 (3.4%) cases of clinical thyrotoxicosis, 23(19.8%) cases of subclinical thyrotoxicosis, 23 (19.8%) cases of clinical hypothyroidism, and 8(6.9%) cases of subclinical hypothyroidism. The positive rate of anti-thyroid antibodies at baseline in the thyrioid irAEs group was higher than that in the euthyroid group[16/58(27.6%)vs 3/58(5.2%),P=0.001]. After at least one course of ICIs treatment, the incidence of thyroid irAEs in patients with positive anti-thyroid antibodies at baseline was 84.2% (16/19), whereas it was 43.3% (42/97) in patients with negative anti-thyroid antibodies(P=0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender (OR=2.812, 95%CI:1.257-6.293), baseline thyroid autoantibodies were positive (OR=6.984, 95%CI: 1.909-25.547), baseline TgAb positivity (OR=8.909, 95%CI: 1.923-41.280), and baseline TPOAb positivity (OR=7.304, 95%CI: 1.555-34.308) were associated with thyroid irAEs (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that baseline TgAb positivity (OR=7.637, 95%CI: 1.617-36.072) was a risk factor for thyroid irAEs (P=0.01). Conclusions: The incidence of thyroid irAEs is higher in patients who are positive for baseline TPOAb and/or TgAb compared to those who are negative for TPOAb and TgAb. Patients with positive TgAb at baseline are at high risk of developing thyroid irAEs.

Abstract
Tropospheric ozone (O3) is mainly produced through a series of photochemical reactions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The reaction process presents complex non-linear relationships. In this work, datasets of atmospheric ozone and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) observed during the summer of 2018 in Nanjing were used. Combining with the framework for 0-D atmospheric model-master chemical mechanism (F0AM-MCM), the characteristics of photochemical reactions for ozone (O3) formation in Nanjing during the O3 episode days and non-episode days were investigated. The results showed that φ(O3) and φ(TVOCs) in the O3 episode days were 47.8×10-9 and 49.0×10-9, respectively, exceeding those in the non-episode days by factors of 1.8 and 1.6. Furthermore, F0AM, the empirical kinetic modeling approach (EKMA), and relative incremental reactivity (RIR) were utilized for the calculation of ozone chemical sensitivity. It was found that O3 formation in Nanjing was attributed to both VOCs and NOx limitation. In addition, the modeled ·OH and HO2 concentrations in the O3 episode days were 1.3 and 1.8 times higher than those in the non-episode days. The higher formation and loss rates of ·OH and HO2 were also found during O3 episode days. These findings reflected that the enhancements of atmospheric oxidation capacity resulted in increased production rates of O3, providing an explanation for the enhancements of O3 concentrations in Nanjing during the O3 episode days. The findings also improved the understanding of the O3 photochemical characteristics over Nanjing in the summer during the O3 episode days.

Abstract
By using a nonadiabatic molecular dynamics method combined with the hierarchical equations of motion, we have investigated the nonequilibrium transient transport through a conjugated polymer chain. The polymer chain is described by the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, and its two ends are coupled with metal electrodes of different chemical potentials. In order to present the evolutions of the electronic injection and transport in the real-time domain, we have mainly discussed the dynamic relaxation processes of the excited states and transient transport currents. It is found that due to the existence of electron-phonon couplings in the conjugated polymers, creation of solitons not only affects the time of the system achieving the steady state but also leads to periodical oscillations of the steady-state transport currents with time in our simulations. Furthermore, with increasing applied bias voltage, the steady-state transport electronic current increases, which proved that the creation of the solitons can assist the electronic transport. These results have shown that the creation of the excited states is important in understanding the transport properties in organic nanostructures.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the role of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and pleural thickness in the prognostic evaluation of patients with epithelial malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) . Methods: In April 2022, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the data and laboratory data of 41 patients with epithelial MPM admitted to the cardiothoracic surgery department of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture People's Hospital from January 2018 to May 2021. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the relationships between total survival time, clinical characteristics, PNI and pleural thickness in patients. Results: The 41 patients were mostly male (26 cases, 63.4%) , with a median age of 55 years old. The main clinical manifestations were chest pain (53.7%) , bloody pleural effusion (75.6%) , and chest pain combined with bloody pleural effusion (36.6%) . The median survival time of patients with different TNM stage, efficacy after 4 cycles of chemotherapy, PNI, maximum pleural thickness after chemotherapy (post max) , sum of post max in 3 zones after chemotherapy (post sum) were statistically different (χ(2)=3.89, 14.51, 15.33, 4.33, 12.05, P<0.05) . Compared with patients with high PNI and post sum<32.26 mm, MPM patients with low PNI and post sum≥32.26 mm have higher risk of death, and the differences were statistically significant (HR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.75-11.93, P=0.002; HR=1.70, 95%CI: 1.84-16.23, P=0.002) . Conclusion: PNI and post sum can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with epithelial MPM.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of posterior femoral muscle flaps combined with posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap and closed lavage in the treatment of stage Ⅳ ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers. Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study. From March 2021 to March 2022, 15 patients with stage Ⅳ ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Dezhou Dongcheng Hospital, including 11 males and 4 females, aged 31 to 72 years. The pressure ulcer wound size ranged from 6.0 cm×4.5 cm to 10.0 cm×6.0 cm, with cavity diameters of 10-14 cm. Five cases were complicated with ischial tuberosity bone infection. After clearing the lesion, the biceps femoris long head muscle flap with an area of 10.0 cm×4.0 cm-18.0 cm×5.0 cm and the semitendinosus muscle flap with an area of 8.0 cm×4.0 cm-15.0 cm×5.0 cm combined with the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap with an area of 6.5 cm×5.5 cm-10.5 cm×6.5 cm was transplanted to repair the pressure ulcer wound. The flap donor area was directly sutured, and the closed lavage with tubes inserted into the wound cavity was performed for 2-3 weeks. The postoperative survival of the muscle flaps and skin flaps, the wound healing of the donor and recipient areas were observed. The recurrence of pressure ulcers, the appearance and texture of flaps, and scar conditions of the donor and recipient areas were followed up. Results: All the muscle flaps and skin flaps in the 15 patients successfully survived after surgery. Two patients experienced incisional dehiscence at one week after surgery due to improper turning over, during which the incision in the recipient area was pressed on, and the wounds healed after dressing changes of 3 to 4 weeks; the wounds in the donor and recipient areas healed well in the other patients. All patients received follow-up after surgery. During the follow-up period of 6 to 12 months, none of the patients experienced pressure ulcer recurrence, and the texture, color, and thickness of the skin flaps closely resembled those of the surrounding skin at the recipient site, with only linear scar left in the donor and recipient areas. Conclusions: When using the posterior femoral muscle flaps combined with the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap and closed lavage to treat stage Ⅳ ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers, the tissue flap can be used to fully fill in the dead space of the pressure ulcers. After treatment, the wound heals well, the appearance of the donor and recipient areas is better, and the pressure ulcers are less prone to reoccur.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities release substantial amounts of organic components into the atmosphere. In this study, eight groups of organic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hopanes, steranes, n-alkanes, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, phthalate esters, and lignin and resin acids were identified in the ambient aerosol samples collected from a regional background site in the Korean Climate Observatory at Gosan (KCOG), South Korea. The total identified organics were most abundant in winter (220 ± 60.3 ng m-3), followed by spring, autumn, and summer, with the predominance of n-fatty acids. All classes of aliphatic lipid components showed a significant positive correlation with fossil fuel-derived organic carbon (OC-FF) and biomass burning-derived organic carbon (OC-BB), indicating that they were abundantly emitted from anthropogenic sources such as fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning. The composition profiles and diagnostic ratios of PAHs indicate that they were largely derived from coal and/or biomass combustion in the continent. In contrast, hopanes are predominantly emitted from gasoline or diesel engines, particularly in the summer, from commercial ships. The high concentration of phthalates in the summer suggested that plastic emissions from the open ocean substantially contributed to the Gosan aerosols. The low ratios of unsaturated/saturated fatty acids indicate that Gosan organic aerosols were photochemically aged during atmospheric transport. The temporal and seasonal variations of organic species over KCOG provide crucial information on the emission strengths of different contributing sources in the East Asian outflow. Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) results and 14C-based source apportionment studies demonstrated that anthropogenically derived organic aerosols largely contributed to the aerosol mass over KCOG. Thus, the East Asian continent might be the major source region for organic aerosols over the western North Pacific, except in the summer.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical repair strategy for ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers based on the sinus tract condition and range of skin and soft tissue defects. Methods: The study was a retrospective observational study. From July 2017 to March 2023, 21 patients with stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, including 13 males and 8 females, aged 14-84 years. There were 31 ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers, with an area of 1.5 cm×1.0 cm-8.0 cm×6.0 cm. After en bloc resection and debridement, the range of skin and soft tissue defect was 6.0 cm×3.0 cm-15.0 cm×8.0 cm. According to the depth and size of sinus tract and range of skin and soft tissue defects on the wound after debridement, the wounds were repaired according to the following three conditions. (1) When there was no sinus tract or the sinus tract was superficial, with a skin and soft tissue defect range of 6.0 cm×3.0 cm-8.5 cm×6.5 cm, the wound was repaired by direct suture, Z-plasty, transfer of buttock local flap, or V-Y advancement of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap. (2) When the sinus tract was deep and small, with a skin and soft tissue defect range of 8.5 cm×4.5 cm-11.0 cm×6.5 cm, the wound was repaired by the transfer and filling of gracilis muscle flap followed by direct suture, or Z-plasty, or combined with transfer of inferior gluteal artery perforator flap. (3) When the sinus tract was deep and large, with a skin and soft tissue defect range of 7.5 cm×5.5 cm-15.0 cm×8.0 cm, the wound was repaired by the transfer and filling of gracilis muscle flap and gluteus maximus muscle flap transfer, followed by direct suture, Z-plasty, or combined with transfer of buttock local flap; and transfer and filling of biceps femoris long head muscle flap combined with rotary transfer of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap; and filling of the inferior gluteal artery perforator adipofascial flap transfer combined with V-Y advancement of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap. A total of 7 buttock local flaps with incision area of 8.0 cm×6.0 cm-19.0 cm×16.0 cm, 21 gracilis muscle flaps with incision area of 18.0 cm×3.0 cm-24.0 cm×5.0 cm, 9 inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps or inferior gluteal artery perforator adipofascial flaps with incision area of 8.5 cm×6.0 cm-13.0 cm×7.5 cm, 10 gluteal maximus muscle flaps with incision area of 8.0 cm×5.0 cm-13.0 cm×7.0 cm, 2 biceps femoris long head muscle flaps with incision area of 17.0 cm×3.0 cm and 20.0 cm×5.0 cm, and 5 posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flaps with incision area of 12.0 cm×6.5 cm-21.0 cm×10.0 cm were used. The donor area wounds were directly sutured. The survival of muscle flap, adipofascial flap, and flap, and wound healing in the donor area were observed after operation. The recovery of pressure ulcer and recurrence of patients were followed up. Results: After surgery, all the buttock local flaps, gracilis muscle flaps, gluteus maximus muscle flaps, inferior gluteal artery perforator adipofascial flaps, and biceps femoris long head muscle flaps survived well. In one case, the distal part of one posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap was partially necrotic, and the wound was healed after dressing changes. In another patient, bruises developed in the distal end of inferior gluteal artery perforator flap. It was somewhat relieved after removal of some sutures, but a small part of the necrosis was still present, and the wound was healed after bedside debridement and suture. The other posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flaps and inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps survived well. In one patient, the wound at the donor site caused incision dehiscence due to postoperative bleeding in the donor area. The wound was healed after debridement+Z-plasty+dressing change. The wounds in the rest donor areas of patients were healed well. After 3 to 15 months of follow-up, all the pressure ulcers of patients were repaired well without recurrence. Conclusions: After debridement of ischial tuberosity pressure ulcer, if there is no sinus tract formation or sinus surface is superficial, direct suture, Z-plasty, buttock local flap, or V-Y advancement repair of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap can be selected according to the range of skin and soft tissue defects. If the sinus tract of the wound is deep, the proper tissue flap can be selected to fill the sinus tract according to the size of sinus tract and range of the skin and soft tissue defects, and then the wound can be closed with individualized flap to obtain good repair effect.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of endothelin A receptor (ETAR) expression in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). To design ETAR carboxyl terminal (ETAR-C) amino acids derived polypeptide and to study the inhibitory effect on ovarian epithelial carcinoma cells in vitro. Methods: (1) A total of 126 patients who received surgical treatment and were diagnosed with HGSOC by postoperative pathological examination in Central Hospital of Xuzhou from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2017 were selected. All patients had completed clinicopathological data and follow-up data. Cancer tissue samples were collected and ETAR mRNA expression in HGSOC tissues was detected by reverse transcript-PCR. The clinical significance was analyzed. (2) ETAR-C fusion polypeptide was designed based on the sequence of carboxyl terminal amino acids of ETAR, expressed and purified in vitro. The effects of ETAR-C fusion polypeptide on migration and invasion ability of ovarian cancer SKOV3 and CAOV3 cells were detected by scratch test and invasion test, respectively. The effect of ETAR-C fusion polypeptide on chemosensitivity of cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer SKOV3/cDDP and CAOV3/cDDP cells was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay. The effect of ETAR-C fusion polypeptide on β-arrestin-1 expression in ovarian cancer SKOV3 and CAOV3 cells was detected by western blot. Results: (1) The relative expression level of ETAR mRNA in HGSOC tissues was 18.6±5.1. Patients with HGSOC were divided into high ETAR mRNA expression (n=76) and low ETAR mRNA expression (n=50) with 61.7% as cut-off value analyzed by X-Tile software. High expression of ETAR mRNA was significantly correlated with abdominal water volume, platinum drug resistance, and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) value in HGSOC patients (all P<0.05), but was not related to the age of patients with HGSOC and the size of postoperative residual lesions (all P>0.05). The 5-year progression free survival rates were 18.4% and 28.0%, and the 5-year overall survival rates were 38.2% and 52.0% in HGSOC patients with high and low ETAR mRNA expression respectively, there were statistically significant differences (P=0.046, P=0.034). (2) The results of scratch test and invasion test showed that the scratch healing rate and cell invasion rate of SKOV3 or CAOV3 cells treated with endothelin-1 (ET-1) and ET-1+ETAR-C were respectively compared, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). MTT assay showed that the inhibition rates of ETAR-C fusion polypeptide treated in SKOV3/cDDP and CAOV3/cDDP cells were significantly higher than those of control cells after the addition of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 μg/ml cisplatin (all P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression levels of β-arrestin-1 in SKOV3 or CAOV3 cells treated with ET-1 and ET-1+ETAR-C were 1.85±0.09 and 1.13±0.09 (SKOV3 cells), 2.14±0.15 and 1.66±0.12 (CAOV3 cells), respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The prognosis of HGSOC patients with high expression of ETAR mRNA is significantly worse than those with low expression of ETAR mRNA. ETAR might be a new target for HGSOC treatment. The ETAR-C fusion polypeptide that interferes with the interaction of ETAR and β-arrestin-1 has good inhibitory effect on ovarian cancer cells in vitro, and might have clinical application potential.

Abstract
China's nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions have undergone significant changes over the past few decades. However, nonfossil fuel NOx emissions are not yet well constrained in urban environments, resulting in a substantial underestimation of their importance relative to the known fossil fuel NOx emissions. We developed an approach using machine learning that is accurate enough to generate a long time series of the nitrogen isotopic composition (δ15N) of atmospheric nitrate using high-level accuracies of air pollutants and meteorology data. Air temperature was found to be the critical driver of the variation of nitrate δ15N at daily resolution based on this approach, while significant reductions of aerosol and its precursor emissions played a key role in the change of nitrate δ15N on the yearly scale. Predictions from this model found a significant decrease in nitrate δ15N in Chinese megacities (Beijing and Guangzhou as representative cities in the north and south, respectively) since 2013, implying an enhanced contribution of nonfossil fuel NOx emissions to nitrate aerosols (up to 22%-26% in 2021 from 18%-22% in 2013 quantified by an isotope mixing model), as confirmed by the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with online chemistry (WRF-Chem) simulation. Meanwhile, the declining contribution in coal combustion (34%-39% in 2013 to 31%-34% in 2021) and increasing contribution of natural gas combustion (11%-14% in 2013 to 14%-17% in 2021) demonstrated the transformation of China's energy structure from coal to natural gas. This approach provides missing records for exploring long-term variability in the nitrogen isotope system and may contribute to the study of the global reactive nitrogen biogeochemical cycle.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features of progressively transformed germinal center-like follicular T-cell lymphoma (PTGC-like FTCL). Methods: The clinicopathologic data of 14 PTGC-like FTCL cases that were diagnosed at the Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Medical University from January 2017 to January 2022 were retrospectively collected. Clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection status were analyzed in these cases. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the clonal gene rearrangements of T cell receptor (TCR) and the immunoglobulin (Ig) in 10 and 8 cases, respectively. Results: The male to female ratio was 5∶2. The median age was 61 years (range 32-70 years). All patients had lymphadenopathy at the time of diagnosis. By using the Ann Arbor system staging, seven cases were classified as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and seven cases as stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. Seven cases had B symptoms, four cases had splenomegaly, and two cases had skin rash and pruritus. Previously, three cases were diagnosed as classic Hodgkin's lymphoma, three cases as small B-cell lymphoma, two cases as atypical lymphoid hyperplasia unable to exclude angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), one case as EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disorder, and one case as peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) associated with the proliferation of B cells. All the 14 cases showed that the large nodules were composed of mature CD20+, IgD+B lymphocytes admixed with small aggregates of neoplastic cells with pale to clear cytoplasm. Moreover, hyperplastic germinal centers (GCs) and Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg-like (HRS-like) cells were seen within these nodules in two and five cases, respectively. The neoplastic cells expressed CD3 (14/14), CD4 (14/14), PD1 (14/14), ICOS (14/14), CD10 (9/14), bcl-6 (12/14), CXCL13 (10/14), and CD30 (10/14). The HRS-like cells in five cases expressed CD20 (2/5), PAX5 (5/5), CD30 (5/5), CD15 (2/5), LCA (0/5), OCT2 (5/5) and BOB1 (2/5). Moreover, neoplastic T cells formed rosettes around HRS-like cells. EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) in situ hybridization showed scattered, small, positive bystander B lymphocytes in 8/14 cases, including 3/5 cases containing HRS-like cells. All tested cases (including five with HRS-like cells) showed monoclonal TCR gene rearrangement and polyclonal Ig gene rearrangement. Conclusions: PTGC-like FTCL is a rare tumor originated from T-follicular helper cells. It could be distinguished from angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma by the formation of follicular structure, and lack of follicular dendritic cell proliferation outside the follicles and the polymorphous inflammatory background. In addition, it should be differentiated from lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and low-grade B cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence and related factors of chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery. Methods: A total of 463 elderly patients (aged≥60 years) who underwent elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery from November 2020 to May 2021 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were prospectively recruited. Among them, 283 were males and 180 were females, with an average age of (66.6±4.8) years. Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) was assessed by telephone at 6 months after surgery, and then the patients with CNP were screened using the ID-pain scale. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors for CNP in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery. Results: The incidence of CPSP was 41.9% (194/463), and the incidence of CNP was 18.8% (87/463). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that incision number<3 (OR=0.385, 95%CI: 0.156-0.949, P=0.038) and intraoperative N2O inhalation (OR=0.506, 95%CI: 0.304-0.842, P=0.009) were protective factors for CNP in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery, but high numeric rating scale (NRS) score on the first day after surgery (OR=1.180, 95%CI: 1.056-1.318, P=0.003) was a risk factor. Conclusions: The incidence of CNP in elderly patients after thoracoscopic surgery is 18.8%. Incision number<3 and intraoperative N2O inhalation are protective factors for CNP, but high NRS score on the first day after surgery is a risk factor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Jiaji"(EX-B2) on body mass, motor function, expression of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in nucleus pulposus cells and annulus fibrosus tissue, telomerase activi-ty, relative telomere length and different cell cycle ratio of nucleus pulposus cells in rabbits with intervertebral disc degeneration(IVDD), so as to investigate its mechanism underlying delaying senescence of the degenerated lumbar intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells. METHODS Twenty-five male New Zealand rabbits with mature bones were divided into control, sham operation, model, EA, and acupuncture groups, with 5 rabbits in each group. The IVDD model was established by inserting kirschner wires to the vertebral bone surface between the lumbar (L)4 and L5 vertebrae, followed by applying continuous axial pressure for 28 d. EA (2 Hz/15 Hz, 1-2 mA) or acupuncture (only insertion of acupuncture needles into bilateral EX-B2, but without electrical stimulation) was applied to bilateral EX-B2 for 20 min, once daily, 6 times a week for 4 weeks. The hindlimb locomotor function (locomotor score) was assessed by using Faden's and colleagues' methods. The general conditions of rabbits in each group were observed, and their body weight changes were measured every week. Nucleus pulposus cells were isolated using enzyme digestion method. After the treatment, the Cav-1 positive cell counts in nucleus pulposus cells and annulus fibrosus tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the telomerase activity of nucleus pulposus cells was detected by PCR-ELISA. The relative telomere length of nucleus pulposus cells was measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR), and the cell cycle of nucleus pulposus was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group, the body mass from 4 to 11 week, locomotor score at 4, 7 and 11 week, telomerase activity, relative telomere length and the proportion of cells in G2/M phase of nucleus pulposus cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while Cav-1 positive cell counts of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus tissue, and the proportion of nucleus pulposus cells in the G0/G1 phase considerably increased (P<0.01) in the model group. Relevant to the model group, the EA group rather than the acupuncture group had an increase in the body mass from 8 to 11 week, locomotor score at 11 week, telomerase activity, relative telomere length of nucleus pulposus cells, and the proportion of nucleus pulposus cells in G2/M phase (P<0.01), and a decrease in the Cav-1 positive cell counts of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus tissue and the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase (P<0.01). No significant differences were found between the model and acupuncture groups in all the indexes mentioned above. CONCLUSIONS EA at EX-B2 has a bene-ficial effect in improving motor function in rabbits with IVDD, which may be related to its functions in reducing the expression of Cav-1 in nucleus pulposus cells and annulus fibrosus, improving cycle arrest, enhancing the telomerase activity and the relative telomere length of nucleus pulposus cells, delaying the senescence of nucleus pulposus cells of the degenerated lumbar intervertebral discs.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Recent studies indicate that the novel lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) is strongly associated with the survival of various tumors, but its prognostic value in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is understudied. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the LCR and overall survival (OS) in NPC and to develop a predictive model. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 841 NPC patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into training cohort (n = 589) and validation cohort (n = 252). Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were performed to identify variables associated with OS and construct a predictive nomogram. The predictive accuracy of the nomogram was evaluated and independently validated. RESULTS The LCR score differentiated NPC patients into two groups with distinct prognoses (HR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.32-0.89, P = 0.014). Multivariate analysis showed that age, T stage, N stage, EBV-DNA status, and LCR score were independently associated with OS and a predictive nomogram was developed. The nomogram had a good performance for the prediction of OS [C-index = 0.770 (95% CI: 0.675-0.864)] and outperformed the traditional staging system [C-index = 0.589 (95% CI: 0.385-0.792)]. The results were internally validated using an independent cohort. CONCLUSION The novel nutrition-inflammation marker of LCR could serve as a simplified, affordable, easy-to-obtain, non-invasive, and readily promotive prognostic marker for NPC patients received CCRT, and the LCR-based prognostic nomogram outperformed the conventional staging system in terms of predictive power.

A novel method for quantification of cefazolin local tissue concentration in blood, fat, synovium, and bone marrow using liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry.

Abstract
To be effective, the concentration of antibiotic used must exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against infecting organisms at and in the surgical site. Few studies follow antibiotic levels for tissues that are manipulated during surgery. The aim of this work was to develop and validate a novel LC-MS method as well as an efficient extraction technique for the quantification of cefazolin in local tissues and whole blood. This method uses the same efficient extraction method across multiple tissue types affected by orthopedic surgery: blood, fat, synovium, and bone marrow. The ability to quantify cefazolin in these tissues will help identify surgical techniques and antibiotic dosing protocols that better protect patients from infection. The internal standard, 13C2,15N-cefazolin, co-elutes with cefazolin, and was used in calibration curves and tissue extracts as well as for cefazolin recovery and matrix effects. The protocol was rigorously tested, including measurements of reproducibility and calibration curve quality. The recovery of the extraction method ranges from 94% to 113% across all sample types. There is little to no matrix effect on cefazolin signal (98-120%). The developed method was used to determine cefazolin concentrations in tissues of 10 patients undergoing a total knee replacement. Cefazolin blood concentrations were approximately 500 times higher than in adipose, synovium, and bone marrow tissues. This clinical data shows that although the minimum inhibitory concentration is largely surpassed in blood, the concentration of cefazolin in fat, synovium, and bone marrow could be insufficient during a knee replacement. This method of cefazolin quantification will help surgeons optimize antibiotic concentrations in the local tissues during knee replacement surgery and potentially reduce serious post-surgical infections.

Abstract
We describe three cases of overlapping Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) Encephalitis and Autoimmune Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Astrocytopathy (GFAP-A). The three cases all presented with initial symptoms of fever, headache, coma, and posture tremor of the upper limbs, then followed by limb weakness and dysuria. All of the three cases were on ventilators. Case 1 and 2 improved dramatically after intravenous methylprednisoloneand immunoglobulin treatment. However, case 3 presented dyspneic, and died from gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The GFAP-A triggered by EBV intracranial infection could initially masquerade as EBV encephalitis only, and the detection of GFAP antibody is essential for differentiation.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the performance of public health risk assessment in emergencies of institutions for disease control and prevention at different levels in China, and provide suggestions for the improvement of public health risk assessment. Methods: A self-administered survey was conducted in professionals involved in public health risk assessment in emergencies from national institution, provincial institutions and some prefectural institutions for disease control and prevention (1-2 prefectural institutions were selected using convenience sampling in each province) between March and April in 2021. Results: A total of 79 institutions for disease control and prevention were investigated, including 1 national institution, 32 provincial institutions and 46 prefectural institutions. By April 2021, all the 79 institutions surveyed had conducted risk assessment of public health emergencies, in which 61 (77.2%) had established departments responsible for the public health risk assessment, i.e. emergency management office or communicable disease prevention and control office (section), and regular risk assessment mechanisms. The main sources of information for public health risk assessment were public health surveillance systems, including the National Notifiable Diseases Reporting System (100.0%) and Public Health Emergencies Management Information System (97.5%). Compared with the provincial institutions, the prefectural institutions were more likely to use specific disease surveillance systems (84.8% vs. 62.5%; χ2=5.09, P=0.024). The risk management recommendations made by 43 institutions for disease control and prevention (54.4%) after the risk assessment were accepted by the superior health administrative departments and used in epidemic prevention and control. Conclusions: Public health risk assessment in emergencies has been widely carried out by national, provincial and prefectural institutions for disease control and prevention in China. Specialized departments and mechanisms have been established, but the information sources are still confined to public health surveillance systems and the application of the risk assessment results still needs to be further improved.

Abstract
The biological samples of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases are extremely precious. Collecting and preserving these biological samples are helpful to elucidate the mechanisms and improve the level of diagnose and treatment of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. The standardized construction of biobanks for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases is important for achieving these goals. At present, there is very little information on the construction of these biobanks, and the standards or suggestions for the classification and coding of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources, and this is not conducive to the standardization and information construction of biobanks for special oral diseases. This consensus summarizes the background, necessity, principles, and key points of constructing the biobank for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. On the base of the group standard "Classification and Coding for Human Biomaterial" (GB/T 39768-2021) issued by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Biological Samples, we suggest 76 new coding numbers for different of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources. We hope the consensus may promote the standardization, and smartization on the biobank construction as well as the overall research level of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases in China.

Abstract
Vehicle exhaust is an important anthropogenic source of atmospheric carbonaceous aerosols; of which, the emission factors and stable carbon isotope composition are important basic data. In-use motor vehicles of different types were selected to conduct dynamometer tests using different test cycles and under cold/hot start conditions. The exhaust of each test stage was collected to analyze the carbonaceous components and stable carbon isotopes and to discuss the influencing factors. The total carbon emission factors follow the order:heavy-duty diesel vehicles>light-duty diesel vehicles>light-duty gasoline vehicles. Although the emission factors of light-duty natural gas vehicles were very low at the low- and medium-speed stages, they were similar to those of heavy-duty diesel vehicles at the high-speed stage. The emission factors of cold start were higher than those of hot start, and the emission factors of the NEDC test cycle were lower than those of WLTC (which should be related to the driving speed). The emission factors of organic carbon (OC) of gasoline and natural gas vehicles were much higher than those of elemental carbon (EC) in every test stage. The emission factors of OC and EC of diesel vehicles were similar. The OC/EC of all types of vehicles increased with the increase in driving speed. Stable carbon isotopes in EC were higher than those in OC. The stable carbon isotope in different vehicles follow the order:light-duty gasoline vehicles<light-duty natural gas vehicles<light-duty diesel vehicles<heavy-duty diesel vehicles. The results revealed that the source signatures of stable carbon isotope in vehicles used in current source apportionment could not well represent gasoline vehicles and natural gas vehicles. In future emission control and source apportionment, attention should be paid to the changes in emission factors and isotope signatures caused by the use of natural gas and the aging of motor vehicles.

Abstract
Transanal total mesorectal resection (taTME) has come a long way since it was first used in the clinic in 2010.The learning curve of this procedure is long due to different surgical approaches, different perspectives and different anatomical positions. Many surgeons experience complications during this procedure. Although the advantages and problems of this procedure have been reported in much literature, the anatomy and operation methods of taTME introduced in literatures and training centers are too complicated, which makes many surgeons encounter difficulties in carrying out taTME surgery. According to the author's experience in learning and carrying out this operation, spatial expansion process of ultralow rectal cancer was divided into three stages. At each stage, according to different pulling forces, three different schemes of triangular stability mechanics model were adopted for separation. From point to line, from line to plane, the model can protect the safety of peripheral blood vessels and nerves while ensuring total mesorectal excision . This model simplifies the complex surgical process and is convenient for beginners to master taTME surgical separation skills.

Abstract
Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau (HTP) is important for global biodiversity and regional sustainable development. While numerous studies have revealed that the ecosystem in this unique and pristine region is changing, their exact causes are still poorly understood. Here, we present a year-round (23 March 2017 to 19 March 2018) ground- and satellite-based atmospheric observation at the Qomolangma monitoring station (QOMS, 4276 m a.s.l.). Based on a comprehensive chemical and stable isotope (15N) analysis of nitrogen compounds and satellite observations, we provide unequivocal evidence that wildfire emissions in South Asia can come across the Himalayas and threaten the HTP's ecosystem. Such wildfire episodes, mostly occurring in spring (March-April), not only substantially enhanced the aerosol nitrogen concentration but also altered its composition (i.e., rendering it more bioavailable). We estimated a nitrogen deposition flux at QOMS of ∼10 kg N ha-1 yr-1, which is approximately twice the lower value of the critical load range reported for the Alpine ecosystem. Such adverse impact is particularly concerning, given the anticipated increase of wildfire activities in the future under climate change.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the changes in bacterial community structure, antibiotic resistance genome, and pathogen virulence genome in river water before and after the river flowing through Haikou City and their transmission and dispersal patterns and to reveal anthropogenic disturbance's effects on microorganisms and resistance genes in the aquatic environment. Methods: The Nandu River was divided into three study areas: the front, middle and rear sections from the upstream before it flowed through Haikou City to the estuary. Three sampling sites were selected in each area, and six copies of the sample were collected in parallel at each site and mixed for 3 L per sample. Microbial community structure, antibiotic resistance, virulence factors, and mobile genetic elements were analyzed through bioinformatic data obtained by metagenomic sequencing and full-length sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. Variations in the distribution of bacterial communities between samples and correlation of transmission patterns were analyzed by principal co-ordinates analysis, procrustes analysis, and Mantel test. Results: As the river flowed through Haikou City, microbes' alpha diversity gradually decreased. Among them, Proteobacteria dominates in the bacterial community in the front, middle, and rear sections, and the relative abundance of Proteobacteria in the middle and rear sections was higher than that in the front segment. The diversity and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes, virulence factors, and mobile genetic elements were all at low levels in the front section and all increased significantly after flow through Haikou City. At the same time, horizontal transmission mediated by mobile genetic elements played a more significant role in the spread of antibiotic-resistance genes and virulence factors. Conclusions: Urbanization significantly impacts river bacteria and the resistance genes, virulence factors, and mobile genetic elements they carry. The Nandu River in Haikou flows through the city, receiving antibiotic-resistant and pathogen-associated bacteria excreted by the population. In contrast, antibiotic-resistant genes and virulence factors are enriched in bacteria, which indicates a threat to environmental health and public health. Comparison of river microbiomes and antibiotic resistance genomes before and after flow through cities is a valuable early warning indicator for monitoring the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical, pathological and immunophenotypic features, molecular biology and prognosis of fibrin-associated large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL-FA) in various sites. Methods: Six cases of LBCL-FA diagnosed from April 2016 to November 2021 at the Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China and the First Affiliated Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China were collected. The cases were divided into atrial myxoma and cyst-related groups. Clinical characteristics, pathological morphology, immunophenotype, Epstein Barr virus infection status, B-cell gene rearrangement and fluorescence in situ hybridization of MYC, bcl-2, bcl-6 were summarized. Results: The patients' mean age was 60 years. All of them were male. Three cases occurred in atrial myxoma background, while the others were in cyst-related background, including adrenal gland, abdominal cavity and subdura. All cases showed tumor cells located in pink fibrin clot. However, three cyst-related cases showed the cyst wall with obviously fibrosis and inflammatory cells. All cases tested were non germinal center B cell origin, positive for PD-L1, EBER and EBNA2, and were negative for MYC, bcl-2 and bcl-6 rearrangements, except one case with MYC, bcl-2 and bcl-6 amplification. All of the 5 cases showed monoclonal rearrangement of the Ig gene using PCR based analysis. The patients had detailed follow-ups of 9-120 months, were treated surgically without radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and had long-term disease-free survivals. Conclusions: LBCL-FA is a group of rare diseases occurring in various sites, with predilection in the context of atrial myxoma and cyst-related lesions. Cyst-related lesions with obvious chronic inflammatory background show more scarcity of lymphoid cells and obvious degeneration, which are easy to be missed or misdiagnosed. LBCL-FA overall has a good prognosis with the potential for cure by surgery alone and postoperative chemotherapy may not be necessary.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of different gestational weeks and psychological intervention on pregnancy outcome in patients with monochorionic twin pregnancy. Methods: The clinical data of 68 patients with monochorionic twin pregnancy in the middle and late pregnancy who were treated with radiofrequency ablation in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2017 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 54 patients with single chorionic and single amniotic sac and 14 patients with single chorionic and double amniotic sac. Patients were divided into three groups according to the gestational weeks:<20 weeks (n=36), 20-23 weeks (n=17) and ≥24 weeks (n=15); and were divided into intervention group (n=40) and control group (n=28) according to the preoperative psychological intervention. The pregnancy outcome of patients with different pregnancy reduction and the effect of psychological intervention on pregnancy outcome was analyzed. Results: The age of 68 patients was (30.2±4.6) years old, the gestational age was (22.2±3.2) weeks, and 60 cases (88.2%) were live births after fetal reduction. There were no significant difference in age [(31.8±4.7),(28.3±5.0),(30.3±4.0) years old] (P=0.098), abortion rate, preterm birth rate, live birth rate, delivery mode, gestational week of preterm birth, gestational week of delivery, and neonatal weight between the two groups at different gestational weeks (all P>0.05). The ages of the intervention group and the control group were (30.6±4.7) and (29.4±4.0) years old (P=0.352). After psychological intervention for 40 patients in the intervention group, the anxiety score after pregnancy reduction was reduced from (54.8±6.8) to (37.3±7.3) (P<0.001), while the depression score decreased from (62.7±7.2) to (33.2±2.4) (P<0.001). Compared with patients in the control group (12.5%, n=5), the proportion of postoperative discomfort in the intervention group was higher (53.6%, n=15) (P<0.001). Compared with the control group, there were no statistically significant difference in the postoperative preterm birth rate, abortion rate, live birth rate, delivery mode, gestational week of preterm birth, gestational week of delivery, and neonatal weight in the intervention group (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique. For complex monochorionic twin pregnancies, early fetal reduction (<20 weeks) and preoperative psychological intervention can provide a solid guarantee for a good postoperative pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
Malignant mesothelioma is a highly malignant disease that most often occurs in the pleural cavity, followed by the peritoneum and pericardium. Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) accounts for 10%-15% of all mesothelioma. The most important risk factor for MPM is exposure to asbestos. MPM has no specific clinical symptoms, imaging and histopathology are critical for the diagnosis. There are currently no generally accepted guidelines for curative treatment of MPM. The patient mainly presented with abdominal pain, abdominal distension and discomfort. Due to extensive omentum metastasis, no further surgical treatment was performed. Pemetrexed combined with cisplatin chemotherapy was given for 2 cycles, and the patient is still alive.

Abstract
In order to explore the composition and source characteristics of non-polar organic compounds (NPOCs) in atmospheric fine particulate matter in the Yangtze River Delta region, 129 PM2.5 samples were collected at the Regional Atmospheric background station in Lin'an from December 2019 to November 2020. Including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), n-alkanes, and hopanes, the main sources of organic aerosols were investigated using molecular tracers, eigen ratios, and orthogonal matrix factorization models. The results showed that the average annual mass concentration of PM2.5 in Lin'an was approximately (32.36±20.44) μg·m-3, and the average annual mass concentration of NPOCs was approximately (59.05±40.39) ng·m-3, showing the seasonal characteristics of being high in winter and low in summer. n-alkanes mainly came from fossil fuels and biomass (grass, wood, etc.) burning, followed by cuticle wax emission from higher plants. PAHs mainly came from the mixed contribution of non-fossil sources such as coal burning motor vehicle emissions and biomass combustion. Hopanes were mainly derived from motor vehicle emissions, which were also affected by coal burning in winter. Backward trajectory cluster analysis and potential source analysis showed that Lin'an was mainly affected by external air mass transport. Combined with the orthogonal matrix-factor decomposition model, NPOCs observed during the sampling period were analyzed, and non-fossil sources such as coal burning sources, transportation emission sources, and biomass combustion were obtained. In winter, transportation sources were the main source, accounting for 59%. In spring and summer, coal burning was the main source, accounting for 58% and 57%, respectively. In autumn, biomass combustion and other non-fossil sources dominated, accounting for 64%.

Abstract
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox when it first infects humans, and the virus may reactivate in adulthood and cause herpes zoster (HZ). Broad-spectrum antiviral drugs are one of the treatments for varicella and herpes zoster, but the emergence of drug resistance poses many challenges to this treatment and increases the burden of disease on patients. This paper discusses the resistance mechanisms, resistance sites and resistance detection methods of anti-VZV drugs in order to help further research on new anti-VZV targets, new drugs and monitoring of resistance to existing drugs.

Abstract
Atmospheric amines have unique acid-neutralizing capacity and play an important role in atmospheric chemical reactions. An integrated observation of PM2.5 samples (from Dec 2015 to Nov 15, 2016) was conducted in a typical industrial city (Xuzhou), China. Concentrations of total measured amines (∑amines, including methylamine (MA), ethylamine (EA), dimethylamine (DMA), propanamine (PA) and trimethylamine (TMA) + diethylamine (DEA)) were 172.0 ± 98.2 ng m-3, accounting 1.5 ± 0.6 ‰ of PM2.5 mass. ∑amines were higher in winter (249.0 ± 112.3 ng m-3) and spring (192.4 ± 75.9 ng m-3) than in summer (114.7 ± 33.3 ng m-3) and autumn (103.7 ± 34.3 ng m-3). Concentrations of MA and EA (the dominant amines) were highest in winter, while DMA, PA and TMA + DEA showed opposite seasonality. EA/MA ratios ranged from 0.04 to 8.7 with a median value of 0.3, and the averaged EA/MA ratio was 2.0 in winter, indicating large contribution of EA. Environmental factors including temperature (T), relative humidity (RH) and atmospheric oxidizing capacity (O3 and Ox represented) were found to influence concentrations of amines in PM2.5. The Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model identified secondary products (41.6 %), combustion emissions (39.8 %), soil and waste incineration emissions (13.2 %) and biological emissions and aging products (5.4 %) as the 4 sources of amines in PM2.5. MA was mainly secondary products (82.5 %) and had high contribution of local secondary formation, while EA was mainly derived from combustion emissions (83.7 %) and influenced by regional transportation. In winter, combustion emissions (including coal combustion, biomass burning and traffic emissions, contributed 57.7 %) surpassed secondary products (31.6 %) as the predominant sources of amines, especially under the influence of regional transportation (75.7 %).

Abstract
The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern γ-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity. γ-ray observations have long been one of the most powerful tools for dark matter searches, as, e.g., high-energy γ rays could be produced by the decays of heavy dark matter particles. In this Letter, we present the first dark matter analysis with LHAASO-KM2A, using the first 340 days of data from 1/2-KM2A and 230 days of data from 3/4-KM2A. Several regions of interest are used to search for a signal and account for the residual cosmic-ray background after γ/hadron separation. We find no excess of dark matter signals, and thus place some of the strongest γ-ray constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles with mass between 10^{5} and 10^{9} GeV. Our results with LHAASO are robust, and have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of dynamic qi acupuncture for acute lumbar sprain, and to explore the differences of different needle retention time on the improvement of pain, lumbar mobility and lumbar dysfunction. METHODS A total of 160 patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomly divided into an observation group A (40 cases, 4 cases dropped off), an observation group B (40 cases, 2 cases dropped off), an observation group C (40 cases, 4 cases dropped off) and a medication group (40 cases, 6 cases dropped off). The patients in the observation group A, the observation group B and the observation group C were treated with acupuncture at "lumbago point" and Sanjian (LI 3) on the left side, and during the needles were kept for 10, 20 and 30 min respectively, the patients were required to take tolerable lumbar active activities, once a day; the patients in the medication group were treated with celecoxib capsules, 0.2 g each time, twice a day. All the patients were treated for 5 d. Before and after treatment, the scores of numerical rating scale-11 (NRS-11), lumbar range of motion (ROM) and modified Oswestry disability index (ODI) were observed, and the clinical efficacy of each group was evaluated. RESULTS After treatment, the scores of NRS-11, ROM and ODI in each group were decreased compared before treatment (P<0.01). The decreased degree of NRS-11, ROM and ODI in each observation group was greater than that in the medication group (P<0.05), and the decreased degree of ROM and ODI in the observation group B and the observation group C was greater than that in the observation group A (P<0.05). The total effective rates were 94.4% (34/36) in the observation group A, 94.7% (36/38) in the observation group B and 97.2% (35/36) in the observation group C, respectively, which were higher than 79.4% (27/34) in the medication group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Dynamic qi acupuncture with needle retention for 10, 20 and 30 min all could effectively improve the pain, lumbar mobility and lumbar dysfunction in patients with acute lumbar sprain. If the lumbar dysfunction is severe, needle retention for 20 min or more is recommended.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value and application of 24 h multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (24 h MII-pH) monitoring in children with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. From January 2013 to December, 2020, 417 patients who received 24 h MII-pH monitoring in Department of Gastroenterology of Children's Hospital Capital Institute of Pediatrics were included. According to results, these children were divided into the GERD and non-GERD groups. Furthermore, the 132 children with GERD who had gastroscopy were divided into the reflux esophagitis (RE) and non-erosive reflux disease (NE) groups to investigate the differences in their refluxes. Non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test or indepentent sample t test was used for comparisons between the groups. Results: Among the 417 children, 232 were males and 185 females, aged (7.3±3.9) years. The course of disease was 0.5 (0.1, 2.0) years. The main clinical symptoms included acid reflux (128 cases), vomiting (173 cases), abdominal pain (101 cases), and cough (76 cases). The 24 h MII-pH monitoring were positive in 243 children (58.3%, 243/417), which was higher than that by 24 h esophageal pH monitoring (43.6%, 182/417). The 24 h MII-pH monitoring results demonstrated significant differences in the episodes of acid reflux, weakly acidic reflux, non-acidic reflux, liquid reflux and mixed reflux between GERD and non-GERD groups (10 (4, 19) vs. 4 (1, 9) times/24 h, 14 (6, 32) vs. 7 (3, 13) times/24 h, 0 (0, 0) vs. 0 (0, 0) times/24 h, 19 (10, 34) vs. 8 (3, 14) times/24 h, and 6 (2, 12) vs. 3 (1, 5) times/24 h, Z=-6.96, -7.25, -5.62, -8.75, and -6.48, all P<0.05, respectively). Besides, the results also showed significant differences in Boix-Ochoa score, episodes of long reflux, course of long reflux, and episodes of weakly acidic reflux between the RE and NE groups (51.2 (21.4, 153.2) vs. 20.7 (12.1, 34.7), 5 (2, 10) vs. 1 (0, 4) times/24 h, 19 (7, 87) vs. 8 (3, 22) min, and 5 (2, 15) vs. 15 (6, 33) times/24 h, Z=-3.44, -3.41, -2.65, and -2.27, all P<0.05, respectively). Conclusion: 24 h MII-pH monitoring not only improves the detection rate of GERD in children, but also provides a possibility to early etiological diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the incidence and risk factors of cardiovascular events in hematological neoplasms patients treated with anthracyclines in the real world. Methods: A total of 408 patients with lymphoma and leukemia, who were treated with anthracyclines during hospitalization in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 1, 2018 to July 31, 2021, were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into cardiovascular event group (n=74) and non-cardiovascular event group (n=334). The primary endpoint was cardiovascular events (arrhythmia, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction etc.) after anthracyclines therapy. The secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality, cardiovascular-cause death, discontinued chemotherapy due to cardiovascular events. Multivariate regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors of cardiovascular events. Kaplan-Meier was performed to calculate the incidence of all-cause mortality. Results: The mean age was (55.6±14.9) years, and there were 227 male patients (55.6%) in this cohort. The median follow-up time was 45 months. During follow-up, cardiovascular adverse events occurred in 74 patients (18.1%), including 45 heart failure (38 were heart failure with preserved ejection fraction), 30 arrhythmia, 4 acute myocardial infarction and 2 myocarditis/pericarditis. Multivariate regression analysis showed age (OR=1.024, 95%CI 1.003-1.045, P=0.027) and history of hypertension over 10 years (OR=2.328, 95%CI 1.055-5.134, P=0.036) were independent risk factors for the cardiovascular events. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed mortality was significantly higher in cardiovascular event group than in non-cardiovascular event group (47.3% vs. 26.6%, P=0.001). In the cardiovascular event group, chemotherapy was discontinued in 9 cases (12.2%) due to cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death occurred in 7 cases (9.5%). Conclusions: Although heart failure is the main cardiovascular event in lymphoma and leukemia patients post anthracyclines therapy, other cardiovascular events especially arrhythmias are also common. The presence of cardiovascular events is associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality in these patients. Age and long-term hypertension are independent risk factors for cardiovascular events in lymphoma and leukemia patients after anthracyclines treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum procalcitonin (PCT) is widely used to diagnose bacterial infection and sepsis. However, PCT may be elevated in some neoplasms. It is important to distinguish infection from no infection in such neoplasms. The relationship between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and PCT is unknown.
CASE SUMMARY A 62-year-old male was admitted due to a hepatic lesion of unknown origin. The patient had an elevated PCT level. Infectious diseases were excluded after appropriate examination. He then underwent exploratory laparotomy and a left lateral hepatectomy was performed. The patient recovered with an uneventful postoperative course and PCT level decreased gradually and was normal on day 16. HCC was diagnosed by histopathology and no evidence of infection was observed. Furthermore, immunohistochemical analyses revealed that tumor cells were positive for PCT.
CONCLUSION HCC cells can secrete PCT in the absence of infection and PCT may be used as a marker to monitor the efficacy of tumor therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy of thumb-tack needle and sodium hyaluronate eye drops for dry eye. METHODS A total of 60 patients with dry eye were randomly divided into a thumb-tack needle group and a western medication group, 30 cases in each group. Based on Biaoben Genjie theory, thumb-tack needle was applied at Zhiyin (BL 67), Lidui (ST 45), Fuyang (BL 59), Yanglao (SI 6), Jingming (BL 1) and Cuanzhu (BL 2) in the thumb-tack needle group, 2 times a week. In the western medication group, 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops were applied, 3 times a day. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, TCM symptom score, tear film break-up time (BUT), SchirmerⅠtest (SⅠT), corneal fluorescein sodium staining (FL) score and 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) score were observed, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups. RESULTS After treatment, the total scores and each item score of TCM symptom in the two groups were decreased compared with before treatment (P<0.05); except for score of visual fatigue and photophobia, the total score and each item score of TCM symptom in the thumb-tack needle group were lower than the western medication group (P<0.05). After treatment, the BUT, SⅠT and SF-36 scores were increased and the FL scores were decreased in the two groups (P<0.05); the BUT, SⅠT and SF-36 score were higher than the western medication group (P<0.05), and the FL score was lower than the western medication group (P<0.05) in the thumb-tack needle group. The total effective rate in the thumb-tack needle group was 93.3% (28/30), which was higher than 80.0% (24/30) in the western medication group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Thumb-tack needle based on Biaoben Genjie theory could effectively relieve clinical symptoms of dry eye patients, prolong tear film break-up time, increase tear secretion, improve tear film function and quality of life, and its curative effect is better than sodium hyaluronate eye drops.

Abstract
Biomass burning (BB) is an important contributor to the air pollution in Southeast Asia (SEA), but the emission sources remain great uncertainty. In this study, PM2.5 samples were collected from an urban (Chiang Mai University, CMU) and a rural (Nong Tao village, NT) site in Chiang Mai, Thailand from February to April (high BB season, HBB) and from June to September (low BB season, LBB) in 2018. Source apportionment of carbonaceous aerosols was carried out by Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method incorporating the radiocarbon (14C) and organic markers (e.g., dehydrated sugars, aromatic acids, etc.). Thereby, carbonaceous aerosols were divided into the fossil-derived elemental carbon (ECf), BB-derived EC (ECbb), fossil-derived primary and secondary organic carbon (POCf, SOCf), BB-derived OC (OCbb) and the remaining OC (OCnf, other). The fractions of ECbb generally prevailed over ECf throughout the year. OCbb was the dominant contributor to total carbon with a clear seasonal trend (65.5 ± 5.8 % at CMU and 79.9 ± 7.6 % at NT in HBB, and 39.1 ± 7.9 % and 42.8 ± 4.6 % in LBB). The distribution of POCf showed a spatial difference with a higher contribution at CMU, while SOCf displayed a temporal variation with a greater fraction in LBB. OCnf, other was originated from biogenic secondary aerosols, cooking emissions and bioaerosols as resolved by the principal component analysis with multiple liner regression model. The OCnf, other contributed within a narrow range of 6.6 %-14.4 %, despite 34.9 ± 7.9 % at NT in LBB. Our results highlight the dominance of BB-derived fractions in carbonaceous aerosols in HBB, and call the attention to the higher production of SOC in LBB.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application value of chromosome karyotype analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) in prenatal diagnosis of isolated corpus callosum abnormality (CCA) fetus. Methods: Fetuses diagnosed with isolated CCA by ultrasound and MRI and receiving invasive prenatal diagnosis in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center and Qingyuan People's Hospital from January 2010 to April 2021 were selected. Karyotype analysis and/or CMA [or copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq)] were performed on all fetal samples, and WES was performed on fetal samples and their parents whose karyotype analysis and/or CMA (or CNV-seq) results were not abnormal. Results: Among 65 fetuses with isolated CCA, 38 cases underwent karyotype analysis, and 3 cases were detected with abnormal karyotypes, with a detection rate of 8% (3/38). A total of 49 fetuses with isolated CCA underwent CMA (or CNV-seq) detection, and 6 cases of pathogenic CNV were detected, the detection rate was 12% (6/49). Among them, the karyotype analysis results were abnormal, and the detection rate of further CMA detection was 1/1. The karyotype results were normal, and the detection rate of further CMA (or CNV-seq) detection was 14% (3/21). The detection rate of CMA as the first-line detection technique was 7% (2/27). A total of 25 fetuses with isolated CCA with negative results of karyotyping and/or CMA were tested by WES, and 9 cases (36%, 9/25) were detected with pathogenic genes. The gradient genetic diagnosis of chromosomal karyotyping, CMA and WES resulted in a definite genetic diagnosis of 26% (17/65) of isolated CCA fetuses. Conclusions: Prenatal genetic diagnosis of isolated CCA fetuses is of great clinical significance. The detection rate of CMA is higher than that of traditional karyotyping. CMA detection could be used as a first-line detection technique for fetuses with isolated CCA. WES could increase the pathogenicity detection rate of fetuses with isolated CCA when karyotype analysis and/or CMA test results are negative.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effect and molecular mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) preconditioning on renal injury in type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS Fifty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, model, EA, EA+inhibitor, and inhibitor groups, with 10 rats in each group. Diabetes model was established by high fat and high glucose diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg). EA (2 Hz, 1 mA) preconditioning was applied to "Guanyuan" (CV4), "Zhongwan" (CV12), bilateral "Zusanli" (ST36) and "Fenglong" (ST40) for 15 min, once every other day for 8 weeks. Rats of the inhibitor and EA+inhibitor groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 3-TYP (50 mg/kg) once every other day for a total of 3 times. The body weight, kidney mass, and renal index were recorded. The contents of urine microalbumin (ALB), 24 h urine 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and activities of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione glycine peroxidase (GSH-Px) in kidney were detected by ELISA. The activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme complex (RCCⅠ-RCCⅣ) in kidney were detected using spectrophotometric method. HE staining, Masson staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the changes of renal structure. The protein and mRNA expressions of silent information regulator 3 (Sirt3), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in kidney were detected by Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR, respectively. RESULTS After modeling and compared with the control group, the contents of ALB, the renal index, activity of ROS and content of 8-OHdG, and the renal collagen volume fraction (CVF) were increased (P<0.01), while the activities of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px, RCCⅠ-RCCⅣ, and the mRNA and protein expressions of Sirt3 and MnSOD were decreased (P<0.01). After the treatment and compared with the model group, the contents of ALB, the renal index, ROS, 8-OHdG, and the CVF were decreased in the EA group(P<0.01, P<0.05), while the activities of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, RCCⅠ-RCCⅣ, and Sirt3 and MnSOD expression levels were increased (P<0.01, P<0.05);the RCCⅡ activity and the expression level of MnSOD mRNA were increased (P<0.05) in the EA+inhibitor group; the ALB and 8-OHdG contents and the CVF in the inhibitor group were increased (P<0.05), while the activity of SOD, and Sirt3 and MnSOD expression levels were decreased (P<0.05). In comparison with the EA group, the contents of ALB, the renal index, activities of ROS and 8-OHdG contents, and the CVF were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), activities of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px and RCCⅠ and RCCⅡ, and the mRNA and protein expressions of Sirt3 and MnSOD were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01) in both EA+inhibitor group and inhibitor group, whereas the activities of RCCⅢ and RCCⅣ were decreased in the inhibitor group (P<0.05). The therapeutic effect of inhibitor was notably inferior to that of EA+inhibitor in decreasing ALB and 8-OHdG contents, and CVF (P<0.01), and in up-regulating SOD and RCCⅡ activities, Sirt3 and MnSOD expression levels (P<0.01, P<0.05). CONCLUSION EA preconditioning can increase the expressions of renal Sirt3 and MnSOD in type 2 diabetic rats, thereby reducing the oxidative stress response and protecting the kidneys.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the protective effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Biao"-acupoints, "Fenglong"(ST40) and "Zhongwan"(CV12), used for treating symptoms of the disease, and "Ben"-acupoints, "Zusanli"(ST36) and "Guanyuan"(CV4), for treating the root cause of the disease on oxidative stress injury of renal mitochondria through SIRT1/PGC-1α signal pathway in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS A total of 33 male Wistar rats were randomized into normal (n=10), model (n=12) and EA (n=11) groups.The DN model was established by feeding the rats with high-sugar and high-fat diet for 6 weeks combined with streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mg/kg, i.p.). EA (4 Hz/60 Hz, 1 mA)was applied to ST36-ST40 and CV4-CV12 for 15 min, once every other day for 8 weeks. The rats' body weight was recorded, urine in 24 hours (24-h UP) was collected to measure the urine protein level, and the fasting blood glucose (FBG) level detected by using a glucometer. The levels of serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) were assayed using immunoturbidi-metry, picric acid method and urease method, respectively, and those of serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The kidney tissue was collected for assaying the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) with xanthine oxidase method, glutathione (GSH) activity with dithio-dinitrobenzoic acid method, catalase (CAT) activity with ammonium molybdate spectrometric method, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content with thiobarbituric acid method. Histopathological changes of the kidney tissue were observed by microscope after hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE), periodate Schiff staining (PAS) and Masson staining, separately, and its subcellular structure was observed under transmission electron microscopy. The expression levels of renal SIRT1 and PGC-1α mRNAs and proteins were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot, and the immunoactivity of renal α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and immunofluorescence density of renal collagen Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ), collagen Ⅳ(Col Ⅳ) and fibronec-tin (FN) detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence assay, respectively. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the levels of FBG, HbA1c, BUN, Scr, 24-h UP, TG, TC, LDL-C, MDA, α-SMA, Col Ⅰ, Col Ⅳ and FN proteins were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the levels of body weight, HDL-C, SOD, GSH, CAT, SIRT1 and PGC-1α mRNAs and proteins were decreased in the model group (P<0.01, P<0.05). In comparison with the model group, the levels of FBG, HbA1c, BUN, Scr, 24-h UP, TG, TC, LDL-C and MDA, and the expressions of α-SMA, Col Ⅰ, Col Ⅳ and FN proteins were markedly down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and those of body weight, HDL-C, SOD, GSH, CAT, and the expressions of SIRT1 and PGC-1α mRNAs and proteins significantly up-regulated (P<0.01, P<0.05) in the EA group. HE staining showed mesangial dilatation, glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial matrix accumulation; PAS staining showed an increase of the glomerular extracellular matrix deposition; and Masson staining displayed an enhancement of glomerular fibrosis and interstitial space expansion; and electron microscope revealed foot process fusion, basement membrane thickening and organelle injury in the rat's kidney of the model group, which were relatively milder in the EA group. CONCLUSION EA of ST36-ST40 and CV4-CV12, "Biao-Ben" acupoints combination, can alleviate oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in DN rats, which may be associated with its functions in up-regulating SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling, and decreasing renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Henan Province is one of the provinces where taeniasis and cysticercosis were historically highly prevalent, and Taenia solium is the dominant species of tapeworm. Following the concerted efforts since 1970s, the prevalence of human taeniasis and cysticercosis has been maintained at a low level in Henan Province, which facilitates the national taeniasis and cysticercosis elimination program in China. Following the implementation of the policy of aeniasis and cysticercosis elimination and classified guidance, a great success has been achieved in aeniasis and cysticercosis control in Henan Province. With continuous promotion of the opening-up policy and the Belt and Road Initiative, there are still challenges in taeniasis and cysticercosis control. This review summarizes the control progress of taeniasis and cysticercosis and proposes the challenges of taeniasis and cysticercosis control in Henan Province.

Abstract
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown policy reduced anthropogenic emissions and impacted the atmospheric chemical characteristics in Chinese urban cities. However, rare studies were conducted at the high mountain site. In this work, in-situ measurements of light absorption by carbonaceous aerosols and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations were conducted at Waliguan (WLG) over the northeastern Tibetan Plateau of China from January 3 to March 30, 2020. The data was employed to explore the influence of the COVID-19 lockdown on atmospheric chemistry in the background-free troposphere. During the sampling period, the light absorption near-infrared (>470 nm) was mainly contributed by BC (>72%), however, BC and brown carbon (BrC) contributed equally to light absorption in the short wavelength (∼350 nm). The average BC concentrations in the pre-, during and post-lockdown were 0.28 ± 0.25, 0.18 ± 0.16, and 0.28 ± 0.20 μg m-3, respectively, which decreased by approximately 35% during the lockdown period. Meanwhile, CO2 also showed slight decreases during the lockdown period. The declined BC was profoundly attributed to the reduced emissions (∼86%), especially for the combustion of fossil fuels. Moreover, the declined light absorption of BC, primary and secondary BrC decreased the solar energy absorbance by 35, 15, and 14%, respectively. The concentration weighted trajectories (CWT) analysis suggested that the decreased BC and CO2 at WLG were exclusively associated with the emission reduction in the eastern region of WLG. Our results highlighted that the reduced anthropogenic emissions attributed to the lockdown in the urban cities did impact the atmospheric chemistry in the free troposphere of the Tibetan Plateau.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of filiform-fire needling of "Biaoben acupoint combination" on the sequelae of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the recovery period. METHODS A total of 33 patients with COVID-19 during the recovery period were treated with filiform-fire needling at the acupoints of Mingmen (GV 4), Shenzhu (GV 12), Gaohuang (BL 43), Zusanli (ST 36) and Shangjuxu (ST 37), etc., once every other day, 3 times a week, and 3 times was one course of treatment and totally 2 courses of treatment were required. The TCM symptom, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) scores, pulmonary function indexes (forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1], peak expiratory flow [PEF]) and chest CT imaging change were observed before and after treatment, and the therapeutic effect was evaluated. RESULTS After treatment, the scores of TCM symptom, HAMA and HAMD were decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and the levels of FVC, FEV1 and PEF were increased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and the recovery rate of 22 patients with pulmonary ventilation dysfunction was 86.4% (19/22). After treatment, the lung shadow area was smaller than that before treatment (P<0.05). The effective rate of 25 patients with lung CT abnormalities was 84.0% (21/25). After treatment, 23 cases were cured, 5 cases were markedly effective, 4 cases were effective, 1 case was ineffective, the cured and markedly effective rate was 84.8%. CONCLUSION The filiform-fire needling of "Biaoben acupoint combination" could significantly reduce the sequelae of cough, fatigue, chest tightness, etc. and mental symptoms such as anxiety and depression in patients with COVID-19 during the recovery period, and promote inflammatory exudation absorption of pulmonary lesion and improve lung ventilation function.

Abstract
The non-polar compounds in atmospheric fine particles (PM2.5) mainly include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and normal alkanes (n-alkanes), etc., which are usually used to identify the source of the air pollution and have a great important impact on human health and the environment. To study the pollution characteristics and sources of non-polar organic aerosols in the background point PM2.5 in Guangxi, from November 2017 to October 2018, 17 types of PAHs and 20 types of n-alkanes were analyzed on PM2.5 samples collected in the field. It was found that the annual average concentrations of PAHs and n-alkanes were 4.28±4.25 ng·m-3 and 13.7±14.72 ng·m-3, respectively. The seasonal change was as follows:winter[(7.86±5.19) ng·m-3, (27.51±16.90) ng·m-3]>spring[(2.73±1.76) ng·m-3, (7.64±4.71) ng·m-3]>autumn[(2.34±145) ng·m-3, (7.01±4.55) ng·m-3]>summer[(1.91±1.67) ng·m-3, (3.98±3.12) ng·m-3]. In PAHs, 5-ring and 6-ring molecules accounted for more than 60%, followed by low- and medium-ring molecules (4-ring and 3-ring). The high molecular weight of n-alkanes was relatively high (C29>C31>C27), and the odd and even carbon numbers were significantly different. In addition, combined with the feature ratio method, principal component analysis method, and backward trajectory joint verification, it was found that 41.5% of non-organic aerosols in winter were affected by maritime traffic emissions and ocean source transportation, and 36.7% of the pollution was explained by the coal burning and local biomass burning; 25.2% of the pollution in spring came from biomass combustion and transportation, and 45.0% was attributed to marine transportation in the southern part of the study area and higher plant wax emissions pollution; 53.4% of pollution in summer came from polluted ship emissions, and 10.6% of pollution came from transportation in Southwest Thailand Source transportation. The organic aerosols at the background sites in Guangxi were affected by the combined effects of local emissions and transmission sources.

Abstract
Carbonaceous aerosol is an important component of atmospheric fine particles that has an important impact on air quality, human health, and climate change. In order to explore the long-term changes in carbonaceous aerosol under the background of emission reduction, this study measured the mass concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) of PM2.5, which collected in the northern suburbs of Nanjing for five years (December 17, 2014 to January 5, 2020). The results showed that the five-year average ρ(OC) and ρ(EC) were (10.2±5.3) μg·m-3 and (1.6±1.1) μg·m-3, accounting for 31.1% and 5.2% of PM2.5, respectively. OC and EC concentrations were both high in winter and low in summer. According to the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test and Sen's slope, the mass concentrations of OC and PM2.5 decreased significantly[OC:P<0.0001, -0.79 μg·(m3·a)-1, -0.29%·a-1; PM2.5:P<0.0001, -4.59 μg·(m3·a)-1, -1.58%·a-1]. Although EC had an upward trend, the significance and range of change were not obvious[P=0.02, 0.05 μg·(m3·a)-1, 0.02%·a-1]. OC and EC decreased significantly during winter from 2014 to 2019[OC:P<0.0001, -2.05 μg·(m3·a)-1, -0.74%·a-1; EC:P=0.001, -0.15 μg·(m3·a)-1, -0.05%·a-1], and the decline was more obvious than the whole. The correlation between OC and EC showed that the sources in winter and summer were more complex than those in spring and autumn. According to the characteristic ratio of OC and EC, the contribution of coal combustion and biomass burning decreased from 2015 to 2019, whereas the impact of industrial sources and vehicle emissions became more significant. Corresponding to this was the obvious decline in OC and the slight recovery of EC. The OC/EC ratio was over 2.0, indicating that there was secondary pollution in the study area. Further calculation revealed that the variation in SOC was consistent with that in OC, showing a significant decrease[P<0.0001, -0.47 μg·(m3·a)-1, -0.17%·a-1]. The average mass concentration of SOC was (5.0±3.5) μg·m-3, accounting for 49.2% of OC. These changes indicate clear effects of the prevention and control of air pollution in Nanjing in recent years. Furthermore, future control can focus on the emissions of VOCs to reduce secondary pollution.
