Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO). Methods: This cohort study recruited singleton pregnancies in the first trimester (6-13+6 weeks of gestation) from Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between January 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. Cardiometabolic markers, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG), were recorded during the first trimester. Incidence of APO, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, small for gestational age infant, and placental abruption, was documented. Cardiovascular metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester were defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria: elevated BMI (BMI≥24 kg/m²), elevated TG (TG≥1.7 mmol/L), decreased HDL-C (HDL-C<1.0 mmol/L), elevated blood pressure (systolic pressure≥130 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and/or diastolic pressure≥85 mmHg), elevated FPG (FPG≥5.6 mmol/L). Enrolled women were categorized into abnormal cardio-metabolic and normal cardio-metabolic groups. Poisson regression was employed to analyze the association between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and APO. Results: The study included 14 197 pregnant women with an age of (32.0±4.1) years. There were 8 139 women in the normal cardio-metabolic group and 6 058 women in the abnormal cardio-metabolic group. Women with cardio-metabolic disorders in the first trimester had a younger gestational age and higher incidence rates of preterm birth, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes mellitus (all P<0.05). In multivariable Poisson regression, elevated BMI (RR=1.22, 95%CI 1.15-1.29), elevated FPG (RR=1.59, 95%CI 1.38-1.82), elevated TG (RR=1.22, 95%CI 1.13-1.31), and elevated blood pressure (RR=1.50, 95%CI 1.39-1.63) were independent risk factors for APO, while decreased HDL-C (RR=0.93, 95%CI 0.70-1.23) was not. Elevated blood pressure (RR=5.57, 95%CI 4.58-6.78), elevated BMI (RR=1.71, 95%CI 1.40-2.09), and elevated TG (RR=1.38, 95%CI 1.10-1.74) had the greatest impact on the risk of developing preeclampsia. Elevated FPG (RR=1.70, 95%CI 1.45-1.99) had the greatest impact on the risk of gestational diabetes. Conclusions: Elevated blood pressure, BMI, TG and FPG in the first trimester are closely related to APO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Podocyte apoptosis plays a vital role in proteinuria pathogenesis in diabetic nephropathy (DN). The regulatory relationship between long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and podocyte apoptosis has recently become another research hot spot in the DN field. AIM To investigate whether lncRNA protein-disulfide isomerase-associated 3 (Pdia3) could regulate podocyte apoptosis through miR-139-3p and revealed the underlying mechanism. METHODS Using normal glucose or high glucose (HG)-cultured podocytes, the cellular functions and exact mechanisms underlying the regulatory effects of lncRNA Pdia3 on podocyte apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) were explored. LncRNA Pdia3 and miR-139-3p expression were measured through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Relative cell viability was detected through the cell counting kit-8 colorimetric assay. The podocyte apoptosis rate in each group was measured through flow cytometry. The interaction between lncRNA Pdia3 and miR-139-3p was examined through the dual luciferase reporter assay. Finally, western blotting was performed to detect the effect of lncRNA Pdia3 on podocyte apoptosis and ERS via miR-139-3p. RESULTS The expression of lncRNA Pdia3 was significantly downregulated in HG-cultured podocytes. Next, lncRNA Pdia3 was involved in HG-induced podocyte apoptosis. Furthermore, the dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed the direct interaction between lncRNA Pdia3 and miR-139-3p. LncRNA Pdia3 overexpression attenuated podocyte apoptosis and ERS through miR-139-3p in HG-cultured podocytes. CONCLUSION Taken together, this study demonstrated that lncRNA Pdia3 overexpression could attenuate HG-induced podocyte apoptosis and ERS by acting as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-139-3p, which might provide a potential therapeutic target for DN.

Abstract
Origins of pH effects on the kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions involving the transfer of both protons and electrons, including the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) considered in this study, are heatedly debated. By taking the HER at Au(111) in acid solutions of different pHs and ionic concentrations as the model systems, herein, we report how to derive the intrinsic kinetic parameters of such reactions and their pH dependence through the measurement of j-E curves and the corresponding kinetic simulation based on the Frumkin-Butler-Volmer theory and the modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck equation. Our study reveals the following: (i) the same set of kinetic parameters, such as the standard activation Gibbs free energy, charge transfer coefficient, and Gibbs adsorption energy for Had at Au(111), can simulate well all the j-E curves measured in solutions with different pH and temperatures; (ii) on the reversible hydrogen electrode scale, the intrinsic rate constant increases with the increase of pH, which is in contrast with the decrease of the HER current with the increase of pH; and (iii) the ratio of the rate constants for HER at Au(111) in x M HClO4 + (0.1 - x) M NaClO4 (pH ≤ 3) deduced before properly correcting the electric double layer (EDL) effects to the ones estimated with EDL correction is in the range of ca. 10 to 40, and even in a solution of x M HClO4 + (1 - x) M NaClO4 (pH ≤ 2) there is a difference of ca. 5× in the rate constants without and with EDL correction. The importance of proper correction of the EDL effects as well as several other important factors on unveiling the intrinsic pH-dependent reaction kinetics are discussed to help converge our analysis of pH effects in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Earlier Omicron subvariants including BA.1, BA.2, and BA.5 emerged in waves, with a subvariant replacing the previous one every few months. More recently, the post-BA.2/5 subvariants have acquired convergent substitutions in spike that facilitated their escape from humoral immunity and gained ACE2 binding capacity. However, the intrinsic pathogenicity and replication fitness of the evaluated post-BA.2/5 subvariants are not fully understood. METHODS We systemically investigated the replication fitness and intrinsic pathogenicity of representative post-BA.2/5 subvariants (BL.1, BQ.1, BQ.1.1, XBB.1, CH.1.1, and XBB.1.5) in weanling (3-4 weeks), adult (8-10 weeks), and aged (10-12 months) mice. In addition, to better model Omicron replication in the human nasal epithelium, we further investigated the replication capacity of the post-BA.2/5 subvariants in human primary nasal epithelial cells. FINDINGS We found that the evaluated post-BA.2/5 subvariants are consistently attenuated in mouse lungs but not in nasal turbinates when compared with their ancestral subvariants BA.2/5. Further investigations in primary human nasal epithelial cells revealed a gained replication fitness of XBB.1 and XBB.1.5 when compared to BA.2 and BA.5.2. INTERPRETATION Our study revealed that the post-BA.2/5 subvariants are attenuated in lungs while increased in replication fitness in the nasal epithelium, indicating rapid adaptation of the circulating Omicron subvariants in the human populations.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). Methods: In this descriptive case series study, we retrospective analyzed the records of PMP patients treated with CRS and HIPEC between January 2013 and June 2023 at Affiliated Cancer Hospital and Institute of Guangzhou Medical University. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) Aged 18 to 75 years and nonpregnant women. (2) Histologically confirmed diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei. (3) Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS)>70. (4) The functions of major organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys can tolerate major surgery for long periods of time. (5) No evidence of extra-abdominal metastasis. Patients with extensive intra-abdominal adhesions or severe infectious diseases were excluded. The main outcomes were overall survival (OS) and postoperative major complications. The postoperative major complications were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0). We used the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score to quantitatively assess the peritoneal metastases and the completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) score at the end of surgery (CCR-0 and CCR-1 considered to be complete CRS). Results: A total of the 186 PMP patients with a median age of 56 (interquartile range extremes (IQRE), 48-64) years were included, 65 (34.9%) males and 121 (65.1%) females. The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score was 28 (20-34). Appendiceal origin accounted for 91.4%. Histological types were low grade in 99 patients (53.2%), high grade in 57 patients (30.6%), and 55 patients (29.6%) received complete cytoreduction (CCR-0/1). The median operative duration was 300 (211-430) minutes for all patients. Treatment-related 30-day mortality was 2.7%; 90-day mortality 4.3%; reoperation 1.6%; and severe morbidity 43.0%. Within the entire series, anemia(27.4%), electrolyte disturbance(11.6%), and hypoalbuminemia(7.5%) were the most frequent major complications (grade 3-4). The incidences of gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage, abdominal bleeding, and abdominal infection were 2.2%, 2.2%, and 4.3%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 38.1 (95%CI:31.2-45.1) months, the 5-year OS was 50.3% (95%CI: 40.7%-59.9%) with a median survival time of 66.1 (95%CI: 43.1-89.1) months. The survival analysis showed that patients with pathological low grade, low PCI, and low CCR score had better survival with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Further stratified into complete and incomplete CRS subgroups, the 5-year OS of the CCR-0 and CCR-1 subgroups was 88.9% (95%CI: 68.3%-100.0%) and 77.6% (95%CI: 62.7%-92.5%), respectively; and 42.0% (95%CI: 29.5%-54.5%) in the CCR-2/3 subgroup. Conclusions: CRS and HIPEC may result in a long-term survival benefit for PMP patients with acceptable perioperative morbidity and mortality. This strategy, when complete CRS is possible, could significantly prolong survival for strictly selected patients at experienced centers.

Abstract
Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) involves two major public health issues: mother-infant safety and prevention and controlling major chronic disease. HDP poses a serious threat to maternal and neonatal safety, and it is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, as well as an important risk factor for long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD). In order to explore effective strategies to prevent and control the source of CVD and reduce its risk, we have established a cohort of HDPs in Shenzhen for the primordial prevention of CVD. The construction of the HDP cohort has already achieved preliminary progress till now. A total of 2 239 HDP women have been recruited in the HDP cohort. We have established a cohort data management platform and Biobank. The follow-up and assessment of postpartum cardiovascular metabolic risk in this cohort has also been launched. Our efforts will help explore the pathophysiological mechanism of HDP, especially the pathogenesis and precision phenotyping, prediction, and prevention of pre-eclampsia, which, therefore, may reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and provide a bridge to linking HDP and maternal-neonatal cardiovascular, metabolic risk to promote the cardiovascular health of mothers and their infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the impact of peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) tail-end design variations on PDC-related complications. METHOD Effective data were extracted from databases. The literature was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and a meta-analysis was conducted. RESULTS Analysis revealed that the straight-tailed catheter was superior to the curled-tailed catheter in minimizing catheter displacement and complication-induced catheter removal (RR = 1.73, 95%CI:1.18-2.53, p = 0.005). In terms of complication-induced PDC removal, the straight-tailed catheter was superior to the curled-tailed catheter (RR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.15-2.08, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION Curled-tail design of the catheter increased the risk of catheter displacement and complication-induced catheter removal, whereas the straight-tailed catheter was superior to the curled-tailed catheter in terms of reducing catheter displacement and complication-induced catheter removal. However, the analysis and comparison of factors such as leakage, peritonitis, exit-site infection, and tunnel infection did not reveal a statistically significant difference between the two designs.

Abstract
Objective: To comprehensively assess the current status of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in very preterm infants (VPI) and its associated factors in Chinese neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Methods: In this cohort study, 6 179 preterm infants born at <32 weeks' gestation were included, who were admitted to 57 hospitals in the China Neonatal Network in 2019 and hospitalized for ≥7 days. EUGR was evaluated by a cross-sectional definition (weight at discharge<10th percentile for postmenstrual age), a longitudinal definition (decline in weight Z score>1 from birth to discharge), and weight growth velocity. The comparison between infants with and without EUGR was conducted by t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or χ2 test as appropriate. Multivariable Logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between EUGR with different definitions and maternal and neonatal factors, clinical practices, and neonatal morbidities. Results: A total of 6 179 VPI were enrolled in the study, with a gestational age of (29.8±1.5) weeks and birth weight of (1 365±304) g; 56.2% (3 474) of them were male. Among them, 48.4% (2 992 VPI) were cross-sectional EUGR and 74.9% (4 628 VPI) were longitudinal EUGR. Z score of weight was (0.13±0.78) at birth and decrease to (-1.35±0.99) at discharge. The weight growth velocity was 10.13 (8.42, 11.66) g/(kg·d). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that among the influential factors that could be intervened after birth, late attainment of full enteral feeds (ORadjust=1.01, 95%CI 1.01-1.02, P<0.001; ORadjust=1.01, 95%CI 1.01-1.02, P<0.001), necrotizing enterocolitis≥Ⅱstage (ORadjust=2.64, 95%CI 1.60-4.35, P<0.001; ORadjust=1.62, 95%CI 1.10-2.40, P<0.001) and patent ductus arteriosus (ORadjust=1.94, 95%CI 1.50-2.51, P<0.001; ORadjust=1.63, 95%CI 1.29-2.06, P<0.001) were all associated with increased risks of both cross-sectional and longitudinal EUGR. In addition, late initiation of enteral feeds (ORadjust=1.06, 95%CI 1.02-1.09, P=0.020) and respiratory distress syndrome (ORadjust=1.45, 95%CI 1.24-1.69, P<0.001) were all associated with cross-sectional EUGR. Breast milk feeding (ORadjust=1.33, 95%CI 1.05-1.68, P<0.001) was associated with a higher risk of longitudinal EUGR. Conclusions: The incidence of EUGR in VPI in China is high. Some modifiable risk factors provide priorities to improve postnatal growth for VPI. Nutritional management of VPI and the efforts to decrease the incidence of complications are still the focus of clinical management in China.

Abstract
In recent years, the detection rate of multidrug-resistant and pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae has increased year on year, so polymyxin has received increasing attention as an antibiotic that is still sensitive to most of the multidrug-resistant strains. However, widespread use of polymyxin is likely to lead to the emergence of polymyxin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. At the same time, the polymyxin hetero-resistance has made clinical prevention and treatment difficult. In addition to relying on the combination of polymyxins with other antibiotics, the search for new antibacterial drugs has also become a research hotspot. Research into early detection methods for polymyxin resistance can also help to optimize and improve the diagnosis and treatment strategies. This article reviewed the epidemic status, mechanism, detection methods and prevention measures of polymyxin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Abstract
Reactor neutrino experiments play a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of neutrinos. In this Letter, the evolution of the flux and spectrum as a function of the reactor isotopic content is reported in terms of the inverse-beta-decay yield at Daya Bay with 1958 days of data and improved systematic uncertainties. These measurements are compared with two signature model predictions: the Huber-Mueller model based on the conversion method and the SM2018 model based on the summation method. The measured average flux and spectrum, as well as the flux evolution with the ^{239}Pu isotopic fraction, are inconsistent with the predictions of the Huber-Mueller model. In contrast, the SM2018 model is shown to agree with the average flux and its evolution but fails to describe the energy spectrum. Altering the predicted inverse-beta-decay spectrum from ^{239}Pu fission does not improve the agreement with the measurement for either model. The models can be brought into better agreement with the measurements if either the predicted spectrum due to ^{235}U fission is changed or the predicted ^{235}U, ^{238}U, ^{239}Pu, and ^{241}Pu spectra are changed in equal measure.

Abstract
We present a new determination of the smallest neutrino mixing angle θ_{13} and the mass-squared difference Δm_{32}^{2} using a final sample of 5.55×10^{6} inverse beta-decay (IBD) candidates with the final-state neutron captured on gadolinium. This sample is selected from the complete dataset obtained by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment in 3158 days of operation. Compared to the previous Daya Bay results, selection of IBD candidates has been optimized, energy calibration refined, and treatment of backgrounds further improved. The resulting oscillation parameters are sin^{2}2θ_{13}=0.0851±0.0024, Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.466±0.060)×10^{-3} eV^{2} for the normal mass ordering or Δm_{32}^{2}=-(2.571±0.060)×10^{-3} eV^{2} for the inverted mass ordering.

Abstract
The adsorption of anions and its impact on electrocatalytic reactions are fundamental topics in electrocatalysis. Previous studies revealed that adsorbed anions display an overall poisoning effect in most cases. However, for a few reactions such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxidation of small organic molecules (SOMs), and reduction of CO2 and O2, some specifically adsorbed anions can promote their reaction kinetics under certain conditions. The promotion effect is frequently attributed to the adsorbate induced modification of the nature of the active sites, the change of the adsorption configuration and free energy of the key reactive intermediate which consequently change the activation energy, the pre-exponential factor of the rate determining step etc. In this paper, we will give a mini review of the indispensable role of the classical double layer effect in enhancing the kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions by anion adsorption. The ubiquitous electrostatic interactions change both the potential distribution and the concentration distribution of ionic species across the electric double layer (EDL), which alters the electrochemical driving force and effective concentration of the reactants. The contribution to the overall kinetics is highlighted by taking HER, oxidation of SOMs, reduction of CO2 and O2, as examples.

Abstract
Metal oxide nanoparticle (NP) support of both good conductivity and stability has the potential to enhance both the reaction activity and stability of the loaded electrocatalysts. In this paper, a facile two-step approach to disperse Pt nanoparticles on the surface of IrO2 NPs support (Pt/IrO2) was developed. Physical characterization by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and Transmission/Scanning electron microscopy suggests good dispersion of the Pt. The temperature effect (from 293 to 353 K) of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Pt/IrO2 was studied by rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE). Our results show that although the kinetic current density on Pt/IrO2 is close to that on commercial Pt/C at room temperature, the apparent activation energy (Ea,app) in the former case is much lower, suggesting much the higher activity at elevated temperatures. The superiority in is attributed to the electron interaction between Pt and IrO2 support, as supported by the change of surface chemical state given by X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) seriously threatens the health of individuals. MiRNAs regulate the progression of fibrosis. Nevertheless, the detailed function of miR-449a in RIF is largely unknown. METHODS In vitro and in vivo models of RIF were developed to evaluate the function of miR-449a. The relationship among miR-449a, KLF4, and MFN2 was explored using a dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Additionally, the pathological changes in the mice were detected using Masson staining. The mRNA and protein expressions were assessed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot, respectively. RESULTS TGF-β1 downregulated the expressions of KLF4 and MFN2 in TCMK-1 cells, but upregulated the level of miR-449a. The downregulation of miR-449a significantly inhibited TGF-β1-induced upregulation of fibrotic proteins in TCMK-1 cells. Meanwhile, miR-449a directly targeted KLF4. Moreover, KLF4 overexpression activated MFN2 transcription and reversed TGF-β1-induced fibrosis by positively regulating MFN2. Furthermore, the downregulation of miR-449a could obviously alleviate the symptoms of RIF in mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction. CONCLUSION MiR-449a downregulation attenuated the development of RIF by mediating the KLF4/MFN2 axis. Therefore, miR-449a might act as a target in treating RIF.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is the final pathway for chronic kidney disease to end-stage renal failure. Noncoding RNAs have been reported to play a crucial role in renal fibrosis. Here, the effects of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) and miR-31 on renal fibrosis and their regulatory mechanism were evaluated. RT-qPCR was used to assess NEAT1, miR-31, and RhoA levels. Western blot was performed to analyze the expression of fibrosis markers, RhoA, rho-related kinase (ROCK1), and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and luciferase reporter assays verified the interaction between miR-31 and NEAT1 or RhoA. Renal fibrosis and injury were observed by Masson and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The expression level of inflammatory cytokines was detected by ELISA. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to examine the expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and RhoA in renal tissues. We showed that NEAT1 was highly expressed, whereas miR-31 was decreased in renal fibrosis. NEAT1 was found to directly bind miR-31 to positively regulate RhoA expression. Furthermore, NEAT1 silencing inhibited renal fibrosis and inflammation and suppressed the RhoA/ROCK1 signaling pathway. However, knockdown of miR-31 could reverse these effects. NEAT1 silencing or overexpression of miR-31 alleviated renal fibrosis in vivo. In conclusion, NEAT1 accelerates renal fibrosis progression via negative regulation of miR-31 and the activation of RhoA/ROCK1 pathway, thereby upregulating the expression level of CTGF, providing a theoretical basis for treatment and prognostic evaluation of renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of interleukin-4-modified gold nanoparticle (IL-4-AuNP) on the wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic mice. Methods: Experimental research methods were adopted. Gold nanoparticle (AuNP) and IL-4-AuNP were synthesized by improving the methods described in published literature. The morphology of those two particles were photographed by transmission electron microscopy, and their particle sizes were calculated. The surface potential and hydration particle size of the two particles were detected by nanoparticle potentiometer and particle size analyzer, respectively. The clearance rate of IL-4-AuNP to hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion was measured by hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion kits, respectively. Mouse fibroblast line 3T3 cells were used and divided into the following groups by the random number table (the same below): blank control group, hydrogen peroxide alone group treated with hydrogen peroxide only, hydrogen peroxide+IL-4-AuNP group treated with IL-4-AuNP for 0.5 h and then treated with hydrogen peroxide. After 24 h of culture, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels of cells were detected by immunofluorescence method; cell count kit 8 was used to detect relative cell survival rate. The macrophage Raw264.7 mouse cells were then used and divided into blank control group and IL-4-AuNP group that treated with IL-4-AuNP. After 24 h of culture, the expression of arginase 1 (Arg-1) in cells was observed by immunofluorescence method. Twelve male BALB/c mice (mouse age, sex, and strain, the same below) aged 8 to 10 weeks were divided into IL-4-AuNP group and blank control group, treated accordingly. On the 16th day of treatment, whole blood samples were collected from mice for analysis of white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin level, or platelet count and the level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), urea, or creatinine. The inflammation, bleeding, or necrosis in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissue of mice were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE). Another 36 mice were selected to make diabetic model, and the full-thickness skin defect wounds were made on the back of these mice. The wounds were divided into blank control group, AuNP alone group, and IL-4-AuNP group, with 12 mice in each group, and treated accordingly. On the 0 (immediately), 4th, 9th, and 15th day of treatment, the wound condition was observed and the wound area was calculated. On the 9th day of treatment, HE staining was used to detect the length of neonatal epithelium and the thickness of granulation tissue in the wound. On the 15th day of treatment, immunofluorescence method was used to detect ROS level and the number of Arg-1 positive cells in the wound tissue. The number of samples was 6 in all cases. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, corrected t test, Tukey test, or Dunnett T3 test. Results: The size of prepared AuNP and IL-4-AuNP were uniform. The particle size, surface potential, and hydration particle size of AuNP and IL-4-AuNP were (13.0±2.1) and (13.9±2.5) nm, (-45.8±3.2) and (-20.3±2.2) mV, (14±3) and (16±4) nm, respectively. For IL-4-AuNP, the clearance rate to hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion were (69±4)% and (52±5)%, respectively. After 24 h of culture, the ROS level of 3T3 in hydrogen peroxide alone group was significantly higher than that in blank control group (q=26.12, P<0.05); the ROS level of hydrogen peroxide+IL-4-AuNP group was significantly lower than that in hydrogen peroxide alone group (q=25.12, P<0.05) and close to that in blank control group (P>0.05). After 24 h of culture, the relative survival rate of 3T3 cells in hydrogen peroxide+IL-4-AuNP group was significantly higher than that in hydrogen peroxide alone group (t=51.44, P<0.05). After 24 h of culture, Arg-1 expression of Raw264.7 cells in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly higher than that in blank control group (t'=8.83, P<0.05).On the 16th day of treatment, there were no significant statistically differences in WBC, RBC, hemoglobin level, or platelet count and the level of AST, ALT, urea, or creatinine of mice between blank control group and IL-4-AuNP group (P>0.05). No obvious inflammation, bleeding or necrosis was observed in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of important organs in IL-4-AuNP group, and no significant changes were observed compared with blank control group. On the 0 and 4th day of treatment, the wound area of diabetic mice in blank control group, AuNP alone group, and IL-4-AuNP group had no significant difference (P>0.05). On the 9th day of treatment, the wound areas both in AuNP alone group and IL-4-AuNP group were significantly smaller than that in blank control group (with q values of 9.45 and 14.87, respectively, P<0.05), the wound area in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly smaller than that in AuNP alone group (q=5.42, P<0.05). On the 15th day of treatment, the wound areas both in AuNP alone group and IL-4-AuNP group were significantly smaller than that in blank control group (with q values of 4.84 and 20.64, respectively, P<0.05), the wound area in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly smaller than that in AuNP alone group (q=15.80, P<0.05); moreover, inflammations such as redness and swelling were significantly reduced in IL-4-AuNP group compared with the other two groups. On the 9th day of treatment, compared with blank control group and AuNP alone group, the length of neonatal epithelium in the wound of diabetic mice in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly longer (all P<0.05), and the thickness of the granulation tissue in the wound was significantly increased (with q values of 11.33 and 9.65, respectively, all P<0.05). On the 15th day of treatment, compared with blank control group, ROS levels in wound tissue of diabetic mice in AuNP alone group and IL-4-AuNP group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). On the 15th day of treatment, the number of Arg-1 positive cells in the wounds of diabetic mice in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly more than that in blank control group and AuNP alone group, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions: IL-4-AuNP is safe in vivo, and can improve the oxidative microenvironment by removing ROS and induce macrophage polarization towards M2 phenotype, thus promote efficient diabetic wound healing and regeneration of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic mice.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases in children. Methods: The clinical data of 127 children who were treated with ERCP in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2007 to July 2021 were analyzed. According to the diseases they suffered from, the children were divided into biliary group and pancreatic group. The operation times, technical success rate, diagnosis, interventions and post-ERCP complications between the groups were compared by t-test or χ2 test. The risk factors of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Results: A total of 127 children, including 54 males and 73 females, with a median age of 14 years at first ERCP, were included in this study. ERCP was performed in 181 cases, with a success rate of 98.3% (178/181). In pre-ERCP imaging examination, the positive diagnostic rates of ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for biliary and pancreatic diseases were 54.1% (53/98), 56.1% (37/66) and 79.3% (88/111), respectively. MRCP had the highest positive diagnostic rate, and the difference among the three measures was statistically significant (χ2=17.33, P<0.001). The most common indications for ERCP in biliary and pancreatic diseases were choledocholithiasis (77.0%, 107/139) and congenital structural abnormalities of the pancreas (31.0%, 13/42), respectively. After ERCP, the abdominal pain was dramatically relieved and the liver function was significantly improved (all P<0.001). The blood amylase level of the children with pancreatic diseases was significantly lower than that before ERCP (t=7.73, P<0.001). The overall incidence of post-ERCP complications was 12.2% (22/181), of which post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) was the most common (7.2%, 13/181). The incidence of PEP was significantly higher in the pancreatic group than in the biliary group (16.7% (7/42) vs. 4.3% (6/139),χ2=7.38, P=0.007). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that young age was the independent risk factor of PEP (OR=0.80, 95%CI 0.67-0.96). Conclusions: MRCP is the first choice for pre-ERCP imaging examination of biliary and pancreatic diseases in children. ERCP can be safely and effectively used in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases in children, with a high success rate and obvious alleviation of symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the correlation between the histopathology of the kidney and clinical indicators in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS A total 50 female participants were enrolled in the study. Thirty patients with LN were divided into types 2, 3, 4, and 5, according to their pathological features. The control group consisted of 20 healthy female volunteers. Serum creatinine, C3, C1q, and anti-ds-DNA were measured. Conventional MRI, DTI, DWI, and BOLD scanning was performed to obtain the FA, ADC, and R2* values for the kidney. RESULTS Compared with the control group, FA and the ADC were decreased in patients with LN, while the R2* value was increased (P < 0.05). The overall comparison of the SLEDAI (Activity index of systemic lupus erythematosus) score, total pathological score, AI, and serum creatinine C3 showed that these were significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05). FA and the ADC were negatively correlated with urinary, blood ds-DNA, and serum creatinine and positively correlated with C1q (P < 0.05). The R2* value was positively correlated with urinary NGAL, blood ds-DNA, and serum creatinine (P < 0.05). FA and the ADC were negatively correlated with the SLEDAI score, total pathological score, AI, CI, nephridial tissue C3, and C1q. The R2* value was positively correlated with the SLEDAI score, total pathological score, AI, CI, nephridial tissue C3, and C1q (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS MRI examination in female patients with LN was correlated with pathologic test results, which may have clinical significance in determining the disease's severity, treatment, and outcome.

Abstract
Using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations with fully solvated ions, we demonstrate that solvated OH- forms a stable hydrogen bond with Au(100). Unlike the hydrogen bond between H2O and Au reported previously, which is more favorable for negatively charged Au, the OH-···Au interaction is stabilized when a small positive charge is added to the metal slab. For electro-catalysis, this means that while OH2···Au plays a significant role in the hydrogen evolution reaction, OH-···Au could be a significant factor in the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media. It also points to a fundamental difference in the mechanism of oxygen reduction between gold and platinum electrodes.

Abstract
Platinum-based ordered intermetallic compounds are promising low-Pt catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for high-performance fuel cells. However, the synthesis of ordered intermetallic catalysts usually requires high-temperature annealing to overcome the energy barrier for atom diffusion, which leads to inevitable sintering of catalysts and greatly reduced mass-specific activity. Herein, we developed a new strategy to synthesize PtCu-ordered intermetallic catalysts by the generation of the Pt@Cu core/shell nanoparticles (Pt@Cu NPs) by Pt-assisted H2 reduction of Cu2+ with subsequent annealing at 500-1000 °C. Compared to the commonly used wet-impregnation method, the core/shell structure starts to form ordered PtCu alloys at a lower annealing temperature (500 °C). The Pt@Cu core/shell structure avoids the necessary process of Cu atoms diffusing to Pt NPs across the carbon supports occurred during high-temperature annealing in the wet-impregnation method, which ensures the formation of PtCu NPs with higher ordering degree while annealing at the same temperature. The highly ordered small-sized PtCu catalysts prepared by the core/shell strategy exhibit higher mass activity and specific activity compared to those prepared by the wet-impregnation method. Moreover, a positive correlation between the ORR activity and the ordering degree of the intermetallic PtCu NPs is identified, which could be associated with the increase of compressive strain with the ordering degree.

Abstract
This Letter reports the first measurement of high-energy reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay, with nearly 9000 inverse beta decay candidates in the prompt energy region of 8-12 MeV observed over 1958 days of data collection. A multivariate analysis is used to separate 2500 signal events from background statistically. The hypothesis of no reactor antineutrinos with neutrino energy above 10 MeV is rejected with a significance of 6.2 standard deviations. A 29% antineutrino flux deficit in the prompt energy region of 8-11 MeV is observed compared to a recent model prediction. We provide the unfolded antineutrino spectrum above 7 MeV as a data-based reference for other experiments. This result provides the first direct observation of the production of antineutrinos from several high-Q_{β} isotopes in commercial reactors.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical features and CBS gene variants of 13 patients with classic homocystinuria, and the strategies of individual treatment and prevention were explored. Methods: The general information, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, cranial images, CBS gene variants, diagnosis and therapeutic strategies of 13 patients with classic homocystinuria admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University and Peking University First Hospital from November 2013 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were 13 patients diagnosed at the age of 10 days to 14 years, 6 were male and 7 were female. There were 3 patients detected by newborn screening and received treatment at the asymptomatic stage. There were 10 patients clinically diagnosed at the age of 5 to 14 years. Their symptoms appeared at age of 1 to 6 years. The major clinical manifestations were marfanoid features, lens dislocation and (or) myopia, developmental delay, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed asymmetric infarcts in 4 patients and hypomyelination in 1 case. Increased blood methionine, plasma total homocysteine and urinary total homocysteine with normal urinary methylmalonic acid were found in 13 patients. The biochemical features were consistent with classic homocystinuria. Totally 18 variants were identified in CBS gene of 13 patients, 10 variants were novel and 8 were reported. only 1 patient was partially responsive to vitamin B6 treatment, while 12 cases were non-responsive. They were mainly treated with low methionine diet and betaine supplement. Three vitamin B6 non-responsive cases received liver transplantation at age of 3, 8 and 8 years, respectively. Their blood methionine and total homocysteine returned to normal within a week after liver transplantation. One patient died. Prenatal diagnosis was performed for a fetus when the mother was pregnant again. Two pathogenic CBS gene variants were identified from the amniocytes as same as the proband. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of classic homocystinuria are complex and variable. Blood amino acid analysis, serum or urine total homocysteine assay and gene analysis are critical for its diagnosis. There were 10 novel CBS gene varients were identified expanding the CBS gene varient spectrum. Liver transplantation is an effective treatment. Prenatal diagnosis is important to prevent classic homocysteinuria.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the CT and MRI imaging findings of diquat toxic encephalopathy. Methods: CT and MRI imaging features of 10 patients with diquat poisoning encephalopathy who had been clinically diagnosed were retrospectively reviewed. Results: CT was performed in all 10 patients, and MRI was performed in 8 patients. In 10 patients, 7 had positive signs on CT, and 8 patients with MRI examination had abnormal changes in the images. The main CT findings were symmetrical hypodensity in bilateral cerebellar hemisphere, brainstem, thalamus and basal ganglia, and swelling of brain tissue. The main MRI findings were symmetrical lesions and brain edema in the deep nuclei of cerebellar hemisphere, brainstem, thalamus and basal ganglia, low signal on T1WI, high signal on T2WI and T2-FLAIR, and cytotoxic edema on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) . On review after treatment, both CT and MRI showed resorption of the lesion, which narrowed in size. Conclusion: The imaging findings of diquat poisoning encephalopathy are characteristic and the location of the lesion is characteristic, and CT and MRI have a certain diagnostic value in diquat poisoning encephalopathy, which is important for clinical treatment.

Abstract
A joint determination of the reactor antineutrino spectra resulting from the fission of ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu has been carried out by the Daya Bay and PROSPECT Collaborations. This Letter reports the level of consistency of ^{235}U spectrum measurements from the two experiments and presents new results from a joint analysis of both data sets. The measurements are found to be consistent. The combined analysis reduces the degeneracy between the dominant ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu isotopes and improves the uncertainty of the ^{235}U spectral shape to about 3%. The ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu antineutrino energy spectra are unfolded from the jointly deconvolved reactor spectra using the Wiener-SVD unfolding method, providing a data-based reference for other reactor antineutrino experiments and other applications. This is the first measurement of the ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu spectra based on the combination of experiments at low- and highly enriched uranium reactors.

Abstract
Aims: The authors aim to investigate the function of circPlekha7 in renal fibrosis. Methods: Human renal tissues from chronic kidney disease patients, kidney cell line and primary cultured renal tubular epithelial cells were used. TGF-β1-treated human kidney 2 cells/tubular epithelial cells and a unilateral ureteral obstruction mouse model were employed to study renal fibrosis. Results: circPlekha7 was diminished in renal tissues from chronic kidney disease patients and TGF-β1-treated human kidney 2 cells and tubular epithelial cells, while miR-493-3p was upregulated. Overexpression of circPlekha7 or knockdown of miR-493-3p suppressed TGF-β1 induced enhancements on epithelial to mesenchymal transition and fibrogenesis, as well as attenuated renal fibrosis and injury in mice subjected to unilateral ureteral obstruction. circPlekha7 bound with miR-493-3p, which directly targeted KLF4. Conclusion: circPlekha7 inhibits epithelial to mesenchymal transition of renal tubular epithelial cells and fibrosis via targeting miR-493-3p to de-repress KLF4/mitofusin2 expression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide. To explore the pathogenesis and effective biological target of DN is beneficial to seeking novel treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the role of the lncRNA Dlx6os1/SOX6/EZH2 axis in DN progression. METHODS PAS staining was performed to evaluate extracellular matrix accumulation; ELISA was carried out to assess the levels of urine microalbumin and blood glucose concentration; RT-qPCR was carried out to detect the levels of lncRNA Dlx6os1, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, SOX6, and EZH2. Western blot was performed to assess the levels of Col-IV, FN, TGF-β1, and SOX6 proteins. RIP assay was carried out to verify the interaction between lncRNA Dlx6os1 and EZH2. ChIP-qPCR was conducted to verify the interaction between EZH2 and SOX6 promoter. RESULTS Our results illustrated that lncRNA Dlx6os1 was highly expressed in DN mice and HG-induced SV40 MES13 cells. LncRNA Dlx6os1 knockdown inhibited HG-induced SV40 MES13 cell proliferation, fibrosis, and inflammatory cytokine release. LncRNA Dlx6os1 inhibited SOX6 expression by recruiting EZH2 in HG-SV40 MES13 cells, and SOX6 mediated the effects of lncRNA Dlx6os1 on proliferation, fibrosis, and inflammatory factor release of HG-induced SV40 MES13 cells. CONCLUSION LncRNA Dlx6os1 accelerates the progression of DN by epigenetically repressing SOX6 via recruiting EZH2.

Abstract
The activity of Pt(111) electrodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 0.5M H2SO4 solution is found to increase with continuous potential cycling in the HER potential region. In addition, the basic cyclic voltammograms obtained in 0.5M H2SO4 saturated with N2 after HER show several characteristic changes: the current waves for hydrogen adsorption in the region of0.2 < E < 0.35 V and for sulfate adsorption at 0.35 < E < 0.5 V decrease and the current spike at 0.44 V for the phase transition of the sulfate adlayer gradually disappears. We suggest that these changes are caused by the absorption of a small amount of hydrogen in the subsurface layer and propose a mechanism by which this enhances hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mass vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is ongoing amidst widespread transmission during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Disease phenotypes of SARS-CoV-2 exposure occurring around the time of vaccine administration have not been described. METHODS Two-dose (14 days apart) vaccination regimen with formalin-inactivated whole virion SARS-CoV-2 in golden Syrian hamster model was established. To investigate the disease phenotypes of a 1-dose regimen given 3 days prior (D-3), 1 (D1) or 2 (D2) days after, or on the day (D0) of virus challenge, we monitored the serial clinical severity, tissue histopathology, virus burden, and antibody response of the vaccinated hamsters. RESULTS The 1-dose vaccinated hamsters had significantly lower clinical disease severity score, body weight loss, lung histology score, nucleocapsid protein expression in lung, infectious virus titers in the lung and nasal turbinate, inflammatory changes in intestines, and a higher serum neutralizing antibody or IgG titer against the spike receptor-binding domain or nucleocapsid protein when compared to unvaccinated controls. These improvements were particularly noticeable in D-3, but also in D0, D1, and even D2 vaccinated hamsters to varying degrees. No increased eosinophilic infiltration was found in the nasal turbinate, lung, and intestine after virus challenge. Significantly higher serum titer of fluorescent foci microneutralization inhibition antibody was detected in D1 and D2 vaccinated hamsters at day 4 post-challenge compared to controls despite undetectable neutralizing antibody titer. CONCLUSIONS Vaccination just before or soon after exposure to SARS-CoV-2 does not worsen disease phenotypes and may even ameliorate infection.

Abstract
Hyperprolactinemia(HPRL) is one of the diseases leading to anovulatory infertility, which is a refractory gynecological disease and seriously affects female reproductive function. Professor MA Kun has summarized his experience in clinical and scientific studies for many years. And believes that kidney deficiency is the pathogenesis of HPRL and blood stasis is the dominant pathological manifestation of HPRL and can promote the progress of the disease. In view of this, Professor MA Kun took the therapy of kidney-tonifying and blood-activating as the principle for treating anovulatory infertility caused by HPRL, with soothing the liver and promoting Qi as adjuvant therapies. She has also summarized and refined the prescriptions for tonifying kidney and inducing ovulation, which have a remarkable clinical efficacy.

Abstract
This study used network pharmacology and molecular docking to study the mechanism of Bushen Culuan Formula in the treatment of infertility caused by polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). The active ingredients and potential drug targets of Bushen Cu-luan Decoction were obtained by searching the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology(TCMSP) database, and the targets of PCOS by searching GeneCards. After the drug targets and disease targets were corrected by Uniprot, the intersection genes were obtained. STRING database and Cytoscape 3.7.2 were used for protein-protein interaction(PPI) analysis of the intersection genes. The ClueGO plug-in of Cytoscape 3.7.2 was employed to perform gene ontology(GO) enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment for the intersection genes. Finally, molecular docking of the key active ingredients with the targets of Bushen Culuan Formula was performed using AutoDockVina and MGLtools. A total of 136 active ingredients and 314 drug targets of the decoction were obtained from TCMSP, and 136 disease targets from GeneCards. Finally, 49 drug-disease intersection genes were obtained. GO enrichment found that the genes were mainly involved in the regulation of muscle cell apoptosis, positive regulation of small molecule metabolism, core promoter binding, RNA polymerase Ⅱ regulation of pri-miRNA transcription, negative regulation of transmembrane transport and other biological functions. The enriched KEGG pathways mainly included MAPK, PI3 K-Akt, p53, and HIF-1 signaling pathways. The results of molecular docking showed that quercetin and PTGS2 can bind stably and interact through amino acid residues THR206, TRP387, ASN382, etc. This study preliminarily reveals the multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway mechanism of Bushen Culuan Formula in the treatment of PCOS-related infertility, which provides a basis for further research.

Abstract
In the context of the new era, paying attention to maternal and child health and advocating prenatal and postnatal care can effectively improve the quality of the birth population. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of prenatal and postnatal healthcare with rich content, which is the theoretical basis of modern related services. With the social development and the improvement of people's awareness of prenatal and postnatal healthcare, people have gradually shifted the focus of prenatal and postnatal healthcare to the peri-pregnancy stage at present, namely that couples of childbearing age are guided to prepare for pregnancy under the premise of solving their basic diseases. Infertility is a common and refractory disease for women of childbearing age. Ovulation disorder is one of its common pathological mechanisms. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney deficiency is the main cause and pa-thogenesis of anovulation infertility and blood stasis is an important factor throughout the disease course. In clinical practice, therapies for invigorating kidney and activating blood are safe and reliable to treat anovulatory infertility mainly by adjusting the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, improving ovarian function, uterine environment and gamete quality and increasing endometrial volume. Under the guidance of the thought of prenatal and postnatal healthcare, the authors tried to explore the effect of therapies for kidney-tonifying and blood-activating in the treatment of anovulatory infertility in eugenics, with the purpose of providing ideas and basis for subsequent relevant clinical studies and contributing to prenatal and postnatal healthcare services.

Abstract
Vascular calcification is one of the most common effects of macrovascular complications in patients in aging with chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Previous studies showed that HOTAIR attenuated vascular calcification via the Wnt/β-catenin-signaling pathway, yet the molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to identify the explicit molecular mechanism underlying HOTAIR regulated vascular calcification. In the phosphate (Pi)-induced calcification model of human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs), we investigated whether HOTAIR was involved in the regulation of miR-126. The luciferase reporter was used to examine the effect of HOTAIR on miR-126 and miR-126 on Klotho 3'-UTR. Furthermore, we overexpressed Klotho to verify the regulation of Klotho on SIRT1, as well as their roles in mediating Pi-induced calcification in HASMCs via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Finally, the results were verified in an in vivo mice calcification model. Overexpression of HOTAIR reduced the expression of miR-126 in Pi-induced HASMCs. Additionally, knockdown of miR-126 increased SIRT1 expression by regulating Klotho expression. An increased level of Klotho inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which eventually attenuated Pi-induced HASMCs calcification. Luciferase reporter assay revealed that HOTAIR targeted miR-126 and miR-126 could directly target Klotho. Eventually, HOTAIR overexpression reversed Pi-induced calcium calcification in vivo mouse models. This study demonstrated that HOTAIR overexpression attenuated Pi-induced calcification by regulating the miR-126/Klotho/SIRT1 axis, thereby inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. It provides new potential target genes for the clinical treatment of vascular calcification.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of high glucose on scavenger receptor-A (SR-A) in human glomerular mesangial cells (HMC) and explore the mechanism of inflammatory injury mediated by SR-A in HMC cultured in high-glucose medium. Methods: According to the concentration of D-glucose in culture medium, HMC were divided into normal glucose group (5.5 mmol/L) and high glucose group (30 mmol/L), with mannitol group as hypertonic control. High glucose group was transfected with SR-A small interfering RNA (siSR-A) and the transfection control (siNC) group were set up. Western blotting technology was used to detect the levels of SR-A, NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) protein. Immunofluorescent staining was applied to measure the SR-A in HMC. The mRNA of NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL-1β, FN, ColⅣ, α-SMA and GRP78 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The relative activity of Caspase-1 was detected by enzyme method and the concentration of IL-1β in culture medium was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell cycles of HMC. One-way ANOVA and SNK-q test were used for statistical analysis. Results: The protein level of SR-A in high glucose group was higher than that in normal glucose group and mannitol group (1.23±0.21 vs. 0.68±0.10, 1.23±0.21 vs. 0.78±0.13, all P<0.05). In addition, mean fluorescence intensity of SR-A, protein levels of NLRP3 and IL-1β, mRNA of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β, relative activity of Caspase-1 as well as the concentration of IL-1β in high glucose group were all significantly higher than those in normal glucose group and mannitol group (all P<0.05).After transfection induced silencing, SR-A protein in high glucose siNC group was higher than that in high glucose siSR-A group and normal glucose siNC group (1.23±0.10 vs. 0.20±0.01, 1.23±0.10 vs. 0.87±0.01, all P<0.01). In high glucose siNC group, the NLRP3, IL-1β proteins, the NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β mRNA, all of the mRNA levels of FN, ColⅣ, α-SMA, GRP78 and the proportion of DNA synthesis phase were all higher than those in high glucose siSR-A group and normal glucose siNC group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: High glucose can promote abnormal cell proliferation, increase mesangial matrix production and enhance oxidative stress response through upregulating SR-A expression, and ultimately aggravate cellular inflammatory damage in HMC, which may be associated with NLRP3-Caspase-1-IL-1β pathway regulated by SR-A expression.

Abstract
Differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) is one of the most powerful online techniques for quantitative determination of volatile species from electrochemical reactions. The products distribution as well as the respective production rate derived from DEMS measurements shed important light on the mechanisms and kinetics of complex reactions. In real measurements, the background mass signal of species to be detected changes with the reaction and the measurement conditions, which interferes the quantification of DEMS analysis. In this study, we analyzed systematically how the background mass signals of species change with the amount of water enters into the vacuum chamber from the electrolytic cell, since water is the dominant species in the cell with aqueous electrolyte. Our results reveal that during DEMS measurement, (1) there is a rather long time(>30 min) for the mass signals of volatile species to reach steady values after the filament for electronic ionization is turned on due to large sampling of water from the aqueous electrolyte; (2) the reaction of water with the hot filament changes the latter's surface state, it also produces H2 and O2, which can interfere the quantification of H2 and O2 produced by electrode reactions; (3) the ionization probabilities of other species are also affected by the change of the filament's surface state, the competition for ionization of water as well as the reaction between ionized water fragments with related species in the ionization chamber. Strategies on how to obtain reliable mass signals purely related to electrocatalytic reactions are provided.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the clinical value of serum Klotho and FGF23 in cardiac valve calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods In the present study, 180 patients with CKD, who were admitted to the department of nephrology of our hospital on April 1, 2016 (solstice, 2019), were selected as the main subjects. According to the CKD stage, these patients were divided into three groups: CKD2~3 group, CKD4 group, and CKD5 group. In each group, ultrasound was used to evaluate the cardiac valve calcification, and the independent risk factors for cardiac valve calcification were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results The levels of hemoglobin and blood calcium in CKD2~3 patients were higher than those in CKD4 and CKD5 patients, and the levels of hemoglobin and blood calcium in CKD5 patients were higher than those in CKD4 patients (P<0.05). Albumin was lower in CKD2~3 patients when compared to CKD5 patients while albumin was higher in CKD5 patients when compared to CKD4 patients (P<0.05). The serum levels of FGF23 was lower in CKD2~3 patients when compared to CKD4 and CKD5 patients while the serum levels of FGF23 was lower in CKD4 patients when compared to CKD5 patients (P<0.05). The serum levels of Klotho was higher in CKD2~3 patients, when compared to CKD4 and CKD5 patients, while the serum levels of Klotho was higher in CKD4 patients, when compared to CKD5 patients (P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis revealed that GFR, serum creatinine, FGF23 and Klotho were independent risk factors for cardiac valve calcification in patients with CKD. Conclusion With the decrease of GFR in CKD patients, the serum levels of FGF23 increases, while the serum levels of Klotho decreases. Furthermore, the serum levels of FGF23 and Klotho are affected by various factors, and the levels of FGF23 and Klotho in CKD patients are negatively correlated. GFR, serum creatinine, FGF23 and Klotho are independent risk factors for heart valve calcification in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the associations between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and occurrence and clinical features in pregnant women complicated by preeclampsia (PE). Methods: We recruited 42 427 pregnant women who were diagnosed with intrauterine pregnancy at Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital from July 2017 to December 2019, with a gestational age of 6~8+6 weeks, excluding those with basic diseases and incomplete medical records. Among them, 659 were diagnosed with PE. According to the pre-pregnancy BMI, the pregnant women were divided into underweight group (42 cases), normal body weight group (422 cases), overweight group (138 cases) and obesity group (57 cases). Maternal outcomes (the occurrence of preeclampsia, cesarean delivery rate) and neonatal outcomes (birth weight, Apgar score and neonatal ICU admission) were recorded. The maternal outcomes, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, newborn birth weight, Apgar score and admission to neonatal ICU were compared among the pregnant women in each group. Logistic regression model was established to analyze the influence of different pre-pregnancy BMI on the occurrence and clinical features of PE. Results: The incidence of PE was 1.55% (659/42 427), and the incidence of PE was 0.61% (42/6 941), 1.44% (422/29 297), 2.62% (138/5 273) and 6.22% (57/916) in the underweight group, the normal weight group, the overweight group and the obesity group, respectively. After adjustment for age, parity, educational level, history of preeclampsia, and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), compared with normal group, the adjusted OR for developing early-onset PE were 0.57 (95%CI: 0.29-1.02) for underweight, 1.03 (95%CI: 0.65-1.56) for overweight and 2.15 (95%CI: 1.03-4.02) for obesity groups. The OR for developing late-onset PE were 0.50 (95%CI: 0.33-0.72) for underweight, 1.57 (95%CI: 1.23-1.99) for overweight and 4.25 (95%CI: 3.00-5.91) for obesity group. The OR for PE without severe features were 0.54 (95%CI: 0.30-0.89), 1.40 (95%CI: 0.97-1.99) and 5.11 (95%CI: 3.22-7.84) for underweight, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The OR for severe PE were 0.51 (95%CI: 0.33-0.75), 1.42 (95%CI: 1.10-1.83) and 2.97 (95%CI: 1.95-4.38) for underweight, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The median neonate birth weight in women with PE were 2 420 g (1 602-2 845 g), 2 435 g (1 692-3 030 g), 2 540 g (1 922-3 132 g), and 2 950 g (2 050-3 360 g) for underweight, normal, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The neonatal birth weight in obesity group was heavier than that in normal group (P<0.05). The incidence rates of large for gestational age (LGA) in PE women were 0 (0/42), 3.3% (14/422), 7.3% (10/138) and 17.5% (10/57) for underweight, normal, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The incidence rate of LGA in obesity group was higher than that in normal group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Pre-pregnancy obesity is an independent risk factor for PE. Obesity related PE is more likely associated with late-onset PE and LGA. It is recommended to control weight before pregnancy, limit weight gain during pregnancy and control blood pressure to reduce the incidence of PE and ensure the safety of mother and child.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major kidney disease with poor clinical outcome. SP1, a well-known transcription factor, plays a critical role in AKI and subsequent kidney repair through the regulation of various cell biologic processes. However, the underlying mechanism of SP1 in these pathological processes remain largely unknown. Methods An in vitro HK-2 cells with anoxia-reoxygenation injury model (In vitro simulated ischemic injury disease) and an in vivo rat renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model were used in this study. The expression levels of SP1, miR-205 and PTEN were detected by RT-qPCR, and the protein expression levels of SP1, p62, PTEN, AKT, p-AKT, LC3II, LC3I and Beclin-1 were assayed by western blot. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay, and the cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The secretions of IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. The targeted relationship between miR-205 and PTEN was confirmed by dual luciferase report assay. The expression and positioning of LC-3 were observed by immunofluorescence staining. TUNEL staining was used to detect cell apoptosis and immunohistochemical analysis was used to evaluate the expression of SP1 in renal tissue after ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Results The expression of PTEN was upregulated while SP1 and miR-205 were downregulated in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Overexpression of SP1 protected renal tubule cell against injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion via miR-205/PTEN/Akt pathway mediated autophagy. Overexpression of SP1 attenuated renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Conclusions SP1 overexpression restored autophagy to alleviate acute renal injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion through the miR-205/PTEN/Akt pathway.

Abstract
In mild acidic or alkaline solutions with limited buffer capacity, the pH at the electrode/electrolyte interface (pHs) may change significantly when the supply of H+ (or OH-) is slower than its consumption or production by the electrode reaction. Buffer pairs are usually applied to resist the change of pHs during the electrochemical reaction. In this work, by taking H2X ⇄ 2H+ + X + 2e- under a rotating disk electrode configuration as a model reaction, numerical simulations are carried out to figure out how pHs changes with the reaction rate in solutions of different bulk pHs (pHb in the range from 0 to 14) and in the presence of buffer pairs with different pKa values and concentrations. The quantitative relation of pHs, pHb, pKa, and concentration of buffer pairs as well as of the reaction current density is established. Diagrams of pHs and ΔpH (ΔpH = pHs - pHb) as a function of pHb and the reaction current density as well as of the jmax-pHb plots are provided, where jmax is defined as the maximum allowable current density within the acceptable tolerance of deviation of pHs from that of pHb (e.g., ΔpH < 0.2). The j-pHs diagrams allow one to estimate the pHs and ΔpH without direct measurement. The jmax-pHb plots may serve as a guideline for choosing buffer pairs with appropriate pKa and concentration to mitigate the pHs shift induced by electrode reactions.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the early clinical diagnostic indicators in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) combined with macrovascular invasion. Methods: The clinical data of 180 cases of HCC diagnosed by histopathology examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from 2012 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The factors influencing the development of macrovascular invasion in HCC patients were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity. Results: Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level was significantly correlated with various clinical characteristics of HCC patients, including the maximum tumor diameter, tumor number, and macrovascular invasion. Further analysis of the risk factors showed that serum direct bilirubin and CRP were independent risk factors for macrovascular invasion in HCC patients, with odds ratios of 1.747 (95% CI 1.119-2.728, P = 0.014) and 2.376 (95% CI 1.495-3.775, P < 0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that serum CRP, direct bilirubin, and the combination of the both had certain diagnostic value for hepatocellular carcinoma combined with macrovascular invasion. The area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity was 0.724, 0.668, 0.743, 79.1%, 70.1%, 79.1%, and 61.9%, 62.8%, 67.3%, respectively. Conclusion: The combination of CRP with direct bilirubin can be used as an important clinical diagnostic indicator for early diagnosis and prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma combined with macrovascular invasion.

Abstract
Asbestos is classified as a Class 1 carcinogen by the International Cancer Organization (IARC) , and almost all types of asbestos are carcinogenic. The clinical data of 30 asbestos-induced occupational tumor patients in Qingdao city from January 2002 to May 2019 were analyzed, including 24 cases of asbestos-induced lung cancer and 6 cases of asbestos-induced malignant mesothelioma. Mesothelioma was significantly worse than lung cancer in terms of malignancy, the survival time of patients is shorter, and the mortality rate was higher. Both its diagnostic methods and treatment methods should be improved. The high incidence of asbestos-caused tumors is coming. It is recommended that workers exposed to asbestos dust should undergo regular chest CT examinations for early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

Abstract
Background Rattus norvegicus and Suncus murinus are important reservoirs of zoonotic bacterial diseases. An understanding of the composition of gut and oropharynx bacteria in these animals is important for monitoring and preventing such diseases. We therefore examined gut and oropharynx bacterial composition in these animals in China. Results Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the most abundant phyla in faecal and throat swab samples of both animals. However, the composition of the bacterial community differed significantly between sample types and animal species. Firmicutes exhibited the highest relative abundance in throat swab samples of R. norvegicus, followed by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. In throat swab specimens of S. murinus, Proteobacteria was the predominant phylum, followed by Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Firmicutes showed the highest relative abundance in faecal specimens of R. norvegicus, followed by Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria had almost equal abundance in faecal specimens of S. murinus, with Bacteroidetes accounting for only 3.07%. The family Streptococcaceae was most common in throat swab samples of R. norvegicus, while Prevotellaceae was most common in its faecal samples. Pseudomonadaceae was the predominant family in throat swab samples of S. murinus, while Enterobacteriaceae was most common in faecal samples. We annotated 33.28% sequences from faecal samples of S. murinus as potential human pathogenic bacteria, approximately 3.06-fold those in R. norvegicus. Potential pathogenic bacteria annotated in throat swab samples of S. murinus were 1.35-fold those in R. norvegicus. Conclusions Bacterial composition of throat swabs and faecal samples from R. norvegicus differed from those of S. murinus. Both species carried various pathogenic bacteria, therefore both should be closely monitored in the future, especially for S. murinus.
