Abstract
Chronic hyperglycaemia is a chief feature of diabetes mellitus and complicates with many systematic anomalies. Non-human primates (NHPs) are excellent for studying hyperglycaemia or diabetes and associated comorbidities, but lack behavioural observation. In the study, behavioural, brain imaging and histological analysis were performed in a case of spontaneously hyperglycaemic (HGM) Macaca fascicularis. The results were shown that the HGM monkey had persistent body weight loss, long-term hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, but normal concentrations of insulin, C-peptide, insulin autoantibody, islet cell antibody and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody. Importantly, an impaired working memory in a delayed response task and neurological dysfunctions were found in the HGM monkey. The tendency for atrophy in hippocampus was observed by magnetic resonance imaging. Lenticular opacification, lens fibres disruptions and vacuole formation also occurred to the HGM monkey. The data suggested that the spontaneous HGM monkey might present diabetes-like characteristics and associated neurobehavioral anomalies in this case. This study first reported cognitive deficits in a spontaneous hyperglycaemia NHPs, which might provide evidence to use macaque as a promising model for translational research in diabetes and neurological complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Estrogen receptor (ER) positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer (ER+/HER2-BC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are two distinct breast cancer molecular subtypes, especially in tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). The TIME of TNBC is considered to be more inflammatory than that of ER+/HER2-BC. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that play an important role of tumor eradication in TME. However, studies focusing on the different cell states of NK cells in breast cancer subtypes are still inadequate. METHODS In this study, single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk mRNA sequencing data from ER+/HER2-BC and TNBC were analyzed. Key regulator of NK cell suppression in ER+/HER2-BC, S100A9, was quantified by qPCR and ELISA in MCF-7, T47D, MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The prognosis predictability of S100A9 and NK activation markers was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analyses using TCGA-BRAC data. The phenotype changes of NK cells in ER+/HER2-BC after overexpressing S100A9 in cancer cells were evaluated by the production levels of IFN-gamma, perforin and granzyme B and cytotoxicity assay. RESULTS By analyzing scRNA-seq data, we found that multiple genes involved in cellular stress response were upregulated in ER+/HER2-BC compared with TNBC. Moreover, TLR regulation pathway was significantly enriched using differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from comparing the transcriptome data of ER+/HER2-BC and TNBC cancer cells, and NK cell infiltration high/low groups. Among the DEGs, S100A9 was identified as a key regulator. Patients with higher expression levels of S100A9 and NK cell activation markers had better overall survival. Furthermore, we proved that overexpression of S100A9 in ER+/HER2-cells could improve cocultured NK cell function. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the study we presented demonstrated that NK cells in ER+/HER2-BC were hypofunctional, and S100A9 was an important regulator of NK cell function in ER+BC. Our work contributes to elucidate the regulatory networks between cancer cells and NK cells and may provide theoretical basis for novel drug development.

Abstract
Genetic elements are foundational in synthetic biology serving as vital building blocks. They enable programming host cells for efficient production of valuable chemicals and recombinant proteins. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a stress pathway in which the transcription factor Hac1 interacts with the upstream unfolded protein response element (UPRE) of the promoter to restore endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis. Here, we created a UPRE2 mutant (UPRE2m) library. Several rounds of screening identified many elements with enhanced responsiveness and a wider dynamic range. The most active element m84 displayed a response activity 3.72 times higher than the native UPRE2. These potent elements are versatile and compatible with various promoters. Overexpression of HAC1 enhanced stress signal transduction, expanding the signal output range of UPRE2m. Through molecular modeling and site-directed mutagenesis, we pinpointed the DNA-binding residue Lys60 in Hac1(Hac1-K60). We also confirmed that UPRE2m exhibited a higher binding affinity to Hac1. This shed light on the mechanism underlying the Hac1-UPRE2m interaction. Importantly, applying UPRE2m for target gene regulation effectively increased both recombinant protein production and natural product synthesis. These genetic elements provide valuable tools for dynamically regulating gene expression in yeast cell factories.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of early castration and eucalyptus oil (EUC) supplementation on dry matter intake (DMI), growth performance, and immune response of Holstein calves. Fifty-six male Holstein calves 52 d old and with an initial body weight (BW) of 63.5 ± 5.27 kg were used. The animals were blocked by BW and randomly assigned into 1 of the 4 treatment groups in a randomized complete block design with a 2 (no castration vs. castration) × 2 (without vs. with EUC) factorial arrangement of treatments. The treatments were (1) uncastrated calves fed without EUC, (2) uncastrated calves fed 0.5 g/d EUC (EUC group), (3) castrated calves (steers) fed without EUC (castrated group), and (4) steers fed with 0.5 g/d EUC (castrated + EUC). The experiment was 8 wk long, including pre- and postweaning (weaned at 72 d). The EUC × castrated interactions were not significant for DMI, growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and immune response. Castration did not affect the DMI, final BW, average daily gain (ADG), or feed efficiency, except that the ADG was greater for bull calves than for steers at postweaning. Supplementation with EUC increased DMI pre- and postweaning and increased the ADG of weaned calves. Digestibility in the total digestive tract was not affected by castration (except for organic matter digestibility), whereas adding EUC improved the digestibility of dry matter, acid detergent fiber, and crude protein. Blood concentration of IL-6 at d 94 was decreased by feeding EUC. These results indicate that the EUC could be fed to either intact or castrated dairy calves to promote growth and health postweaning; castration before weaning may reduce ADG and cause inflammatory stress without affecting feed intake or feed efficiency.

Abstract
A new iron(II) molecular complex {[W(CN)8][Fe(bik*)3]2}BF4·7H2O·1.5CH3OH (1.7H2O·1.5CH3OH) was synthesized using a versatile octacyanotungstate(V) building block and N-donor bidentate ligand (bik* = bis(1-ethyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)ketone) and detailed characterizations were carried out. The crystal structure of 1.7H2O·1.5CH3OH is composed of an ionic salt from one anionic [W(CN)8]3- unit, two isolated cationic [Fe(bik*)3]2+ units, and one BF4- counteranion in the asymmetric unit. Magnetic studies of 1.7H2O·1.5CH3OH display interesting two-step reversible thermo-induced spin-state switching and the partially desolvated form 1.7H2O shows a photomagnetic effect at low temperatures. Additionally, the physical properties of 1.7H2O·1.5CH3OH were compared with the monomeric unit of {[Fe(bik*)3]2}·4ReO4·H2O (2.H2O) and detailed photophysical investigations were also performed to study the effect of a structural matrix {[W(CN)8]3- and ReO4- unit} on the spin-state switching properties of the [Fe(bik*)3]2+ unit in both systems (1.7H2O·1.5CH3OH and 2.H2O).

Abstract
Recently a dark matter-electron (DM-electron) paradigm has drawn much attention. Models beyond the standard halo model describing DM accelerated by high energy celestial bodies are under intense examination as well. In this Letter, a velocity components analysis (VCA) method dedicated to swift analysis of accelerated DM-electron interactions via semiconductor detectors is proposed and the first HPGe detector-based accelerated DM-electron analysis is realized. Utilizing the method, the first germanium based constraint on sub-GeV solar reflected DM-electron interaction is presented with the 205.4 kg·day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment. In the heavy mediator scenario, our result excels in the mass range of 5-15 keV/c^{2}, achieving a 3 orders of magnitude improvement comparing with previous semiconductor experiments. In the light mediator scenario, the strongest laboratory constraint for DM lighter than 0.1 MeV/c^{2} is presented. The result proves the feasibility and demonstrates the vast potential of the VCA technique in future accelerated DM-electron analyses with semiconductor detectors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guideline recommendations for the application of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in T2N1M0 stage hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR + /HER2-) breast cancer are ambiguous. The debate continues regarding whether NACT or adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) offers superior survival outcomes for these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female patients diagnosed with HR + /HER2- breast cancer at T2N1M0 stage between 2010 and 2020, were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database and divided into two groups, the NACT group and the ACT group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to establish balanced cohorts between groups, considering baseline features. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis and the Cox proportional hazards model were executed to assess the efficacy of both NACT and ACT in terms of overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS). A logistic regression model was employed to examine the association between predictive variables and response to NACT. RESULTS After PSM, 4,682 patients were finally included. K-M curves showed that patients receiving NACT exhibited significantly worse OS and BCSS when compared with patients undergoing ACT. Multivariable Cox analysis indicated that not achieving pathologic complete response (non-pCR) after NACT (versus ACT), was identified as an adverse prognostic factor for OS (HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.36-1.83) and BCSS (HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.44-2. 02). The logistic regression model revealed that low tumor grade independently predicted non-pCR. CONCLUSION Among T2N1M0 stage HR + /HER2- patients, OS and BCSS of NACT were inferior to ACT. Patients who attained non-pCR after NACT demonstrated significantly worse survival outcomes compared with those who received ACT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When unaddressed, contamination in child maltreatment research, in which some proportion of children recruited for a nonmaltreated comparison group are exposed to maltreatment, downwardly biases the significance and magnitude of effect size estimates. This study extends previous contamination research by investigating how a dual-measurement strategy of detecting and controlling contamination impacts causal effect size estimates of child behavior problems. METHODS This study included 634 children from the LONGSCAN study with 63 cases of confirmed child maltreatment after age 8 and 571 cases without confirmed child maltreatment. Confirmed child maltreatment and internalizing and externalizing behaviors were recorded every 2 years between ages 4 and 16. Contamination in the nonmaltreated comparison group was identified and controlled by either a prospective self-report assessment at ages 12, 14, and 16 or by a one-time retrospective self-report assessment at age 18. Synthetic control methods were used to establish causal effects and quantify the impact of contamination when it was not controlled, when it was controlled for by prospective self-reports, and when it was controlled for by retrospective self-reports. RESULTS Rates of contamination ranged from 62% to 67%. Without controlling for contamination, causal effect size estimates for internalizing behaviors were not statistically significant. Causal effects only became statistically significant after controlling contamination identified from either prospective or retrospective reports and effect sizes increased by between 17% and 54%. Controlling contamination had a smaller impact on effect size increases for externalizing behaviors but did produce a statistically significant overall effect, relative to the model ignoring contamination, when prospective methods were used. CONCLUSIONS The presence of contamination in a nonmaltreated comparison group can underestimate the magnitude and statistical significance of causal effect size estimates, especially when investigating internalizing behavior problems. Addressing contamination can facilitate the replication of results across studies.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high mortality and disability rates, and secondary white matter injury is an important cause of poor prognosis. However, whether brain capillary pericytes can directly affect the differentiation and maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and subsequently affect white matter injury repair has still been revealed. This study was designed to investigate the effect of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) for OPC differentiation and maturation. PDGFRβret/ret and wild-type C57B6J male mice were used to construct a mouse model of SAH via endovascular perforation in this study. Mice were also treated with vehicle, TIMP-3 RNAi or TIMP-3 RNAi + TIMP-3 after SAH. The effect of TIMP-3 on the differentiation and maturation of OPCs was determined using behavioral score, ELISA, transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence staining and cell culture. We found that TIMP-3 was secreted mainly by pericytes and that SAH and TIMP-3 RNAi caused a significant decrease in the TIMP-3 content, reaching a nadir at 24 h, followed by gradual recovery. In vitro, the myelin basic protein content of oligodendrocytes after oxyhemoglobin treatment was increased by TIMP-3 overexpression. The data indicates TIMP-3 could promote the differentiation and maturation of OPCs and subsequently improve neurological outcomes after SAH. Therefore, TIMP-3 could be beneficial for repair after white matter injury and could be a potential therapeutic target in SAH.

Abstract
Background Previous studies found that FAT1 was recurrently mutated and aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers, and the loss function of FAT1 promoted the formation of cancer-initiating cells in several cancers. However, in some types of cancer, FAT1 upregulation could lead to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The role of FAT1 in cancer progression, which appears to be cancer-type-specific, is largely unknown. Methods QRT-PCR and immunochemistry were used to verify the expression of FAT1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). QRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the influence of siFAT1 knockdown on the expression of potential targets of FAT1 in NSCLC cell lines. GEPIA, KM-plotter, CAMOIP, and ROC-Plotter were used to evaluate the association between FAT1 and clinical outcomes based on expression and clinical data from TCGA and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) treated cohorts. Results We found that FAT1 upregulation was associated with the activation of TGF-β and EMT signaling pathways in NSCLC. Patients with a high FAT1 expression level tend to have a poor prognosis and hard to benefit from ICI therapy. Genes involved in TGF-β/EMT signaling pathways (SERPINE1, TGFB1/2, and POSTN) were downregulated upon knockdown of FAT1. Genomic and immunologic analysis showed that high cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) abundance, decreased CD8+ T cells infiltration, and low TMB/TNB were correlated with the upregulation of FAT1, thus promoting an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) which influence the effect of ICI-therapy. Conclusion Our findings revealed the pattern of FAT1 upregulation in the TME of patients with NSCLC, and demonstrated its utility as a biomarker for unfavorable clinical outcomes, thereby providing a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment.

Abstract
With the emergence of the borderless career era in the 21st century, career coaching has experienced a change from career guidance and career education to career counseling. Career construction theory has been widely used in career counseling and has substantial application value. Introducing career construct theory's assessment tools and intervention strategies is necessary and meaningful. In this mini-review, the qualitative assessment tools and intervention approaches of career construct theory are introduced and analyzed; the qualitative assessment tools include the Career Construction Interview and "My Career Story" workbook, and the intervention approaches include the Computer-Assisted Career Counseling System, workshops, group counseling, and individual counseling. Finally, future research directions are proposed, including an analysis of what kinds of career construction interventions are most effective for which groups and under what conditions, career intervention in the digital age, and the standardization of assessment tools. The novelty of this paper lies in the fact that it purposefully proposes future directions for career construction theory from the perspectives of assessment tools and intervention approaches and that research on the assessment tools and intervention approaches of career construction theory still needs further attention.

Abstract
Background A hyperinflammatory response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection gravely worsens the clinical progression of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although the undesirable effects of inflammasome activation have been correlated to the severity of COVID-19, the mechanisms of this process in the asymptomatic infection and disease progression have not yet been clearly elucidated. Methods We performed strand-specific RNA sequencing in 39 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples from asymptomatic individuals(n = 10), symptomatic patients(n = 16) and healthy donors(n = 13). Results Dysregulation of pyrin inflammasomes along with the proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) gene was identified in SARS-COV-2 infection. Notably, the PSTPIP1 expression level showed a significant negative correlation with an adjacent long-noncoding RNA (lncRNA) RP11-797A18.6 in the asymptomatic individuals compared with the healthy controls. In addition, a decline in the nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 (NFKB1) gene expression was observed in asymptomatic infection, followed by a rise in the mild and moderate disease stages, suggesting that altered NFKB1 expression and associated proinflammatory signals may trigger a disease progression. Conclusions Overall, our results indicate that PSTPIP1-dependent pyrin inflammasomes-mediated pyroptosis and NF-κB activation might be potential preventive targets for COVID-19 disease development and progression.

Abstract
Compared with conventional dynamic nonlinear equation systems, a hybrid double-deck dynamic nonlinear equation system (H3DNES) not only has multiple layers describing more different tasks in practice, but also has a hybrid nonlinear structure of solution and its derivative describing their nonlinear constraints. Its characteristics lead to the ability to describe more complicated problems involving multiple constraints, and strong nonlinear and dynamic features, such as robot manipulator tracking control. Besides, noises are inevitable in practice and thus strong robustness of models solving H3DNES is also necessary. In this work, a multilayered noise-tolerant zeroing neural network (MNTZNN) model is proposed for solving H3DNES. MNTZNN model has strong robustness and it solves H3DNES successfully even when noises exist in both the two layers of H3DNES. In order to develop the MNTZNN model, a new zeroing neural network (ZNN) design formula is proposed. It not only enables equations with respect to solutions to become equations with respect to the second-order derivatives of solutions but also makes the corresponding model have strong robustness. The robustness of the MNTZNN model is proved when parameters in the model satisfy a loose constraint and the error bounds are programmable via setting appropriate parameter values. Finally, the MNTZNN model is applied to the tracking control of the six-link planar robot manipulator and PUMA560 robot manipulator with hybrid nonlinear constraints of joint angle and velocity.

Abstract
Quantitative evaluation of vitiligo is crucial for assessing treatment response. Dermatologists evaluate vitiligo regularly to adjust their treatment plans, which requires extra work. Furthermore, the evaluations may not be objective due to inter- and intra-assessor variability. Though automatic vitiligo segmentation methods provide an objective evaluation, previous methods mainly focus on patch-wise images, and their results cannot be translated into clinical scores for treatment adjustment. Thus, full-body vitiligo segmentation needs to be developed for recording vitiligo changes in different body parts of a patient and for calculating the clinical scores. To bridge this gap, the first full-body vitiligo dataset with 1740 images, following the international vitiligo photo standard, was established. Compared with patch-wise images, full-body images have more complicated ambient light conditions and larger variances in lesion size and distribution. Additionally, in some hand and foot images, skin can be fully covered by either vitiligo or healthy skin. Previous patch-wise segmentation studies completely ignore these cases, as they assume that the contrast between vitiligo and healthy skin is available in each image for segmentation. To address the aforementioned challenges, the proposed algorithm in this study exploits a tailor-made contrast enhancement scheme and long-range comparison. Furthermore, a novel confidence score refinement module is proposed to manage images fully covered by vitiligo or healthy skin. Our results can be converted to clinical scores and used by clinicians. Compared to the state-of-the-art method, the proposed algorithm reduces the average per-image vitiligo involvement percentage error from 3.69% to 1.81%, and the top 10% per-image errors from 23.17% to 8.29%. Our algorithm achieves 1.17% and 3.11% for the mean and max error for the per-patient vitiligo involvement percentage, which is better than an experienced dermatologist's naked-eye evaluation.

Abstract
A 65-year-old male patient was admitted for recurrent lymph node enlargement for 5 years and elevated creatinine for 6 months. This patient was diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma 5 years ago and underwent multiple lines of anti-tumor therapy, including cytotoxic chemotherapy; epigenetic modifying drugs such as chidamide and azacitidine; the immunomodulator lenalidomide; and targeted therapy such as rituximab, a CD20-targeting antibody, and brentuximab vedotin, which targets CD30. Although the tumor was considered stable, multiple virus activation (including BK virus, JC virus, and cytomegalovirus) accompanied by the corresponding organ damage (polyomavirus nephropathy, cytomegalovirus retinitis, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy) occurred during anti-tumor treatment. Anti-tumor therapy was suspended and ganciclovir was used. The serum viral load decreased and organ functions were stabilized. The purpose of this report was to raise clinicians' awareness of opportunistic virus reactivation during anti-tumor treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on nail psoriasis (PsO) in China are scarce. OBJECTIVES To provide nail PsO-related data regarding epidemiologic characteristics, manifestations, fungal infections, arthritic complaints and treatments that may facilitate improved patient management globally. METHODS From August 2021 to August 2022, patients with nail PsO were enrolled in a prospective multicentre observational study at 25 hospitals in China. We collected and analysed data concerning nail PsO demography, clinical signs, fungal detection, arthritic symptoms and treatment. RESULTS A total of 817 patients with nail PsO were involved, with a mean body mass index of 24.13 ± 2.93. In addition, 71.41% of the patients were male. The Nail PsO Severity Index score was weakly positively correlated with body surface area. The percentage of nail involvement was 95.29% for fingernails and 57.18% for toenails, with pitting (67.11%) and subungual hyperkeratosis (60.40%) being the most prevalent manifestations, respectively. Toenails showed a significantly higher frequency of nailfold scales, subungual hyperkeratosis and nail plate crumbling and a lower frequency of splinter haemorrhages, pitting and erythema of the lunula. A total of 13.26% of the PsO patients had onychomycosis, and 77.08% were observed in the toenails. Articular symptoms were reported by 12.17% of the patients, with the peripheral type being predominant. Significant associations between articular symptoms and nailfold swelling, subungual hyperkeratosis, nailfold scales, onycholysis and longitudinal ridges were found. Only 2.30% (20 out of 871) of patients with nail PsO received treatment. The most frequently employed therapy for cutaneous PsO with nail involvement was biologic therapy (n = 366). CONCLUSIONS PsO showed distinct manifestations in the toenails and fingernails. Additionally, toenail PsO combined with onychomycosis requires special attention. Articular symptoms in psoriatic patients are associated with specific nail changes. It is important to research and advocate for more potent treatments for nail PsO.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of varied oxygen (O2) concentration environments on the phenotypic transformation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and the mechanism of pulmonary hypertension. Methods: Primary rat PASMC were isolated and cultured through the process of enzymatic digestion. Following identification, the stable passaged PASMC were subjected to a 6-hour incubation in sealed containers with normal O2 content (group C) and relative O2 content comprising 55% (group H55), 75% (group H75), and 95% (group H95). mRNA and protein expression of α-Actin (α-SMA), smooth muscle 22α (SM22α), osteopontin (OPN), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) were measured using real-time quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. Results: The H55 group displayed no significant difference from the C group in terms of mRNA and relative protein expression levels for α-SMA, SM22α, OPN, and MMP-2 (all P>0.05). On the other hand, groups H75 and H95 exhibited a reduction in mRNA and relative protein expression of α-SMA and SM22α, along with an increase in mRNA and relative protein expression of OPN and MMP-2 when compared with both the C and H55 groups (all P<0.05). The H95 group showed a higher relative mRNA expression of MMP-2 as compared to the H75 group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Oxygen concentration environments of 75% or higher can serve as the foundation for the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension, essentially by inducing a phenotypic transformation in PASMC towards adopting a robust secretory function. This induction is contingent upon the concentration of oxygen present.

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of exosomes derived from endothelial progenitor cells (EPC-Exo) on neointimal formation induced by balloon injury in rats. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate the potential of EPC-Exo to promote proliferation, migration, and anti-apoptotic effects of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in vitro. The underlying mechanisms responsible for these observed effects will also be thoroughly explored and analyzed. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) was isolated aseptically from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and cultured in complete medium. The cells were then identified using immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The EPC-Exo were isolated and confirmed the identities by western-blot, transmission electron microscope, and nanoparticle analysis. The effects of EPC-Exo on the rat carotid artery balloon injury (BI) were detected by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western-blot and qPCR. LPS was used to establish an oxidative damage model of VECs. The mechanism of EPC-Exo repairing injured vascular endothelial cells was detected by measuring the proliferation, migration, and tube function of VECs, actin cytoskeleton staining, TUNEL staining, immunofluorescence, western-blot and qPCR. In vivo, EPC-Exo exhibit inhibitory effects on neointima formation following carotid artery injury and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α and IL-6. Additionally, EPC-Exo downregulate the expression of adhesion molecules on the injured vascular wall. Notably, EPC-Exo can adhere to the injured vascular area, promoting enhanced endothelial function and inhibiting vascular endothelial hyperplasia Moreover, they regulate the expression of proteins and genes associated with apoptosis, including B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl2), Bcl2-associated x (Bax), and Caspase-3. In vitro, experiments further confirmed that EPC-Exo treatment significantly enhances the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of VECs. Furthermore, EPC-Exo effectively attenuate lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced apoptosis of VECs and regulate the Bcl2/Bax/Caspase-3 signaling pathway. This study demonstrates that exosomes derived from EPCs have the ability to inhibit excessive carotid intimal hyperplasia after BI, promote the repair of endothelial cells in the area of intimal injury, and enhance endothelial function. The underlying mechanism involves the suppression of inflammation and anti-apoptotic effects. The fundamental mechanism for this anti-apoptotic effect involves the regulation of the Bcl2/Bax/Caspase-3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) enhances oncogenic signaling pathways and advances cancer progression, and has been proposed as a promising cancer biomarker and intervention target. Nevertheless, doubts remain about the prognostic importance of LLPS-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS An LLPS-related lncRNA prognostic signature was generated by drivers and regulators of LLPS, and was validated in external datasets. The underlying genetic changes and functional enrichment of the signature were assessed. The drug sensitivity and response to immunotherapy were predicted in patients categorized as high-risk and low-risk. Clinical samples, phase separation agonist, and dispersant were used to identify lncRNAs with the most significant expression change. Cancer cells with ZNF32-AS2 expression regulation were subjected to colony formation assay, scratch test assay, migration and invasion assay, sorafenib resistance assay, and xenograft tumor model. RESULTS The signature of LLPS-related hub lncRNAs identified through Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis showed outstanding performance in training and external validation cohorts consistently, and the molecular characteristics varied between different risk groups. Potential drugs for high-risk individuals were identified, and low-risk individuals demonstrated a more favorable reaction to immunotherapy. ZNF32-AS2 showed the most significant expression change in phase separation agonist and dispersant treatment. ZNF32-AS2 promoted the proliferation, mobility, and sorafenib resistance of liver cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS The LLPS-related lncRNA signature may help assess prognosis and predict treatment efficacy in clinical settings. LLPS-related ZNF32-AS2 promoted the proliferation, mobility, and sorafenib resistance of liver cancer cells, and may be a novel potential biomarker in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with diverse genetic and brain involvement. Despite magnetic resonance imaging advances, autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and understanding its neurogenetic factors remain challenging. We propose a dual-branch graph neural network that effectively extracts and fuses features from bimodalities, achieving 73.9% diagnostic accuracy. To explain the mechanism distinguishing autism spectrum disorder from healthy controls, we establish a perturbation model for brain imaging markers and perform a neuro-transcriptomic joint analysis using partial least squares regression and enrichment to identify potential genetic biomarkers. The perturbation model identifies brain imaging markers related to structural magnetic resonance imaging in the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, while functional magnetic resonance imaging markers primarily reside in the frontal, temporal, occipital lobes, and cerebellum. The neuro-transcriptomic joint analysis highlights genes associated with biological processes, such as "presynapse," "behavior," and "modulation of chemical synaptic transmission" in autism spectrum disorder's brain development. Different magnetic resonance imaging modalities offer complementary information for autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. Our dual-branch graph neural network achieves high accuracy and identifies abnormal brain regions and the neuro-transcriptomic analysis uncovers important genetic biomarkers. Overall, our study presents an effective approach for assisting in autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and identifying genetic biomarkers, showing potential for enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Abstract
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) assumes a central role in cognitive and behavioral control, emerging as a crucial target region for interventions in autism spectrum disorder neuroregulation. Consequently, we endeavor to unravel the functional subregions within the DLPFC to shed light on the intricate functions of the brain. We introduce a distance-constrained spectral clustering (SC-DW) methodology that leverages functional connection to identify distinctive functional subregions within the DLPFC. Furthermore, we verify the relationship between the functional characteristics of these subregions and their clinical implications. Our methodology begins with principal component analysis to extract the salient features. Subsequently, we construct an adjacency matrix, which is constrained by the spatial properties of the brain, by linearly combining the distance matrix and a similarity matrix. The quality of spectral clustering is further optimized through multiple cluster evaluation coefficient. The results from SC-DW revealed four uniform and contiguous subregions within the bilateral DLPFC. Notably, we observe a substantial positive correlation between the functional characteristics of the third and fourth subregions in the left DLPFC with clinical manifestations. These findings underscore the unique insights offered by our proposed methodology in the realms of brain subregion delineation and therapeutic targeting.

Abstract
Early metastasis is the primary factor in the very poor prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), with liver metastasis being the most common form of distant metastasis in PDAC. To investigate the mechanism of PDAC liver metastasis, we found that PDAC cells can promote the formation of pre-metastatic niches (PMNs) through exosomes to facilitate liver metastasis in the early stage. In our study, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were treated with PDAC-derived exosomes (PDAC-exo), and the activation of HSCs was detected. A novel transfer RNA-derived fragment, the tRF-GluCTC-0005 was obtained by small RNA sequencing from serum exosomes of PDAC patients. Bioinformatics analysis and RNA pull-down assays revealed the interaction between WDR1 and tRF-GluCTC-0005. A KPC transgenic mouse model and an AAV-mediated sh-WDR1 mouse model were used to detect the mechanism of liver metastasis in vivo. Finally, the dual luciferase reporter assay, protein mutation truncation assay, Co-IP assay, and flow cytometry assay were used to explore the molecular mechanism in HSCs activation and PMNs formation. We found that the tRF-GluCTC-0005 in exosomes binds to the 3' untranslated region of the mRNA of the WDRl in HSCs and increases mRNA stability. The N-terminals of WDR1 bind to the YAP protein directly, inhibit YAP phosphorylation, and promote the expression of YAP transcription factors. The tRF-GluCTC-0005 in PDAC-exo significantly recruits myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the liver, creating a PMNs immunosuppressive microenvironment and further advancing liver metastasis from PDAC. Our results suggest that the key of PDAC liver metastasis is the activation of HSCs through upregulation of WDR1 by tRF-GluCTC-0005 in exosomes, which mediates the infiltration of MDSCs to form PMNs.

Abstract
Chronic psoriasis is a kind of immune-mediated skin illness and the underlying molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. Here, we used small RNA microarray assays to scan the differential expressed RNAs in psoriasis patient samples. The downstream miRNAs and its targets were predicted using bioinformatics analysis from online bases and confirmed using fluorescence in situ hybridization and dual‑luciferase report gene assay. Cell ability of proliferation and migration were detected using CCK-8 and transwell assays. The results showed that a new snoRNA Snora73 was upregulated in psoriasis patient samples. Overexpression of Snora73 significantly increased psoriasis cells viability and migration, while knockdown of Snora73 got the opposite results. Mechanistically, our results showed that Snora73 acted as a sponge for miR-3074-5p and PBX1 is a direct target of miR-3074-5p in psoriasis cells. Furthermore, miR-3074-5p suppressed psoriasis cell proliferation and migration, while PBX1 promoted cell proliferation and migration in psoriasis. Collectively, these findings reveal a crucial role of Snora73 in progression of psoriasis through miR-3074-5p/PBX1 signaling pathway and suggest a potential therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common and most lethal genitourinary tumor. The causes of renal clear cell carcinoma are complex and the heterogeneity of the tumor tissue is high, so patient outcomes are not very satisfactory. Exploring biomarkers in the progression of renal clear cell carcinoma is crucial to improve the diagnosis and guide the treatment of renal clear cell carcinoma. LRP6 is a co-receptor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is involved in cell growth, inflammation and cell transformation through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Abnormal expression of LRP6 is associated with the malignant phenotype, metastatic potential and poor prognosis of various tumors. In this study, we found that LRP6 was abnormally highly expressed in a variety of tumors and significantly correlated with microsatellite instability, tumor mutation burden, and immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint expression in a variety of tumors. Moreover, we found that LRP6 was significantly associated with the prognosis of renal clear cell carcinoma. Further we found a significant correlation between LRP6 and the expression of m6A-related genes and ferroptosis-related genes. Finally, we also found a significant correlation between the expression of LRP6 and the sensitivity to common drugs used in kidney clear cell carcinoma treatment. These results suggest that LRP6 is likely to be a potential target for kidney clear cell carcinoma treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase T (PTPRT) is a transmembrane protein that is involved in cell adhesion. We previously found that PTPRT was downregulated in multiple cancer types and the mutation of PTPRT was associated with cancer early metastasis. However, the impacts of PTPRT downregulation on tumour proliferation, invasion, and clinical interventions such as immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies remained largely unknown. METHODS Gene expression data of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database were downloaded and used to detect the differential expressed genes between PTPRT-high and PTPRT-low subgroups. Knockdown and overexpress of PTPRT in lung cancer cell lines were performed to explore the function of PTPRT in vitro. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to evaluate the expression of cell cycle-related genes. CCK-8 assays, wound-healing migration assay, transwell assay, and colony formation assay were performed to determine the functional impacts of PTPRT on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. KM-plotter was used to explore the significance of selected genes on patient prognosis. RESULTS PTPRT was found to be downregulated in tumours and lung cancer cell lines compared to normal samples. Cell cycle-related genes (BIRC5, OIP5, and CDCA3, etc.) were specifically upregulated in PTPRT-low lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Modulation of PTPRT expression in LUAD cell lines affected the expression of BIRC5 (survivin) significantly, as well as the proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumour cells. In addition, low PTPRT expression level was correlated with worse prognosis of lung cancer and several other cancer types. Furthermore, PTPRT downregulation was associated with elevated tumour mutation burden and tumour neoantigen burden in lung cancer, indicating the potential influence on tumour immunogenicity. CONCLUSION Our findings uncovered the essential roles of PTPRT in the regulation of proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD, and highlighted the clinical significance of PTPRT downregulation in lung cancer.

Abstract
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), as a key node in numerous carcinogenic signaling pathways, is activated in various tumor tissues and plays important roles in tumor formation, metastasis, and drug resistance. STAT3 is considered a potential subtarget for tumor therapy. Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is a special type of RNA transcript. Transforming from "junk" transcripts into key molecules involved in cell apoptosis, growth, and functional regulation, ncRNA has been proven to be closely related to various epithelial-mesenchymal transition and drug resistance processes in tumor cells over the past few decades. Research on the relationship between transcription factor STAT3 and ncRNAs has attracted increased attention. To date, existing reviews have mainly focused on the regulation by ncRNAs on the transcription factor STAT3; there has been no review of the regulation by STAT3 on ncRNAs. However, understanding the regulation of ncRNAs by STAT3 and its mechanism is important to comprehensively understand the mutual regulatory relationship between STAT3 and ncRNAs. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the regulation by transcription factor STAT3 on long noncoding RNA, microRNA, and circular RNA and its possible mechanisms. In addition, we provide an update on research progress on the regulation of STAT3 by ncRNAs. This will provide a new perspective to comprehensively understand the regulatory relationship between transcription factor STAT3 and ncRNAs, as well as targeting STAT3 or ncRNAs to treat diseases such as tumors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical and prognostic characteristics of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients with myelofibrosis (MF). Methods: The clinical data of 160 NDMM patients admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2012 to July 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into MF group(n=74) and non-MF group(n=86) according to whether combined with MF. Patients in MF group were further splited into MF-1 group (n=47) and MF-2/3 group (n=27). All patients were treated with bortezomib and immunomodulatory-based combination therapy. The efficacy was evaluated after 4 courses, and the clinical features and prognosis between the two groups were compared. The deadline for follow-up was December 30, 2022 and the median follow-up period [M (Q1, Q3)] was 23.5 (14.4, 40.5) months. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Cox regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of survival. Results: Among 160 patients with NDMM, 91 were males and 69 were females, with a median age [M (Q1, Q3)] of 59 (54, 69) years. In MF group, the bone marrow immature plasma cell percentage, total plasma cell percentage were 9.6% (3.2%, 28.5%) and 36.4% (18.5%, 51.1%), respectively, which were higher than 6.0% (1.2%, 17.2%) and 24.0% (12.0%, 46.0%) of the non-MF group (both P<0.05). Hb level was 84.0(74.5, 100.5)g/L and PLT was (151.99±90.68) ×109/L in the MF group, which were lower than 96.0 (81.0, 112.0)g/L and (180.38±85.32) ×109/L of non-MF group (both P<0.05). But there were no significant differences in ISS stage, karyotypic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) high-risk genetic abnormalities between the two groups (all P>0.05). Objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). The rate of 17p- was 25.9% (7/27) in MF-2/3 group, which was higher than 8.1% (7/86) of non-MF group (P=0.049). The median OS of the MF-2/3 group was 25.0 (95%CI: 23.6-26.4) months, which was shorter than that of the non-MF group (54.0 months, P=0.031). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that grade MF-2/3 was not a risk factor for OS in NDMM patients (HR=1.507, 95%CI: 0.624-3.993, P=0.425). Conclusions: The ratio of bone marrow immature plasma cells and total plasma cells in NDMM patients with MF are higher than that in patients without MF, and the Hb and PLT are lower than that in patients without MF. NDMM patients with grade 2/3 MF have shorter survival than those without MF.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide. Mounting evidence suggests that PANoptosis participates in cancer development and therapy. However, the role of PANoptosis in BC remains unclear. In this study, we identified ten PANoptosis-related genes using Cox regression analysis, random forest (RF) algorithm and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. A PANoptosis-related score (PRS) was calculated based on the coefficient of LASSO. Notably, we divided the patients into high- and low-risk groups according to the PRS and revealed a negative correlation between PRS and overall survival. Next, a nomogram model was constructed and validated to improve the clinical application of PRS. Functional enrichment analyses and the Bayesian network demonstrated that differentially expressed genes between high- and low-risk groups were mainly enriched in immune-related pathways. Besides, we found significant differences in tumor mutation burden and tumor immune microenvironment between patients in these two groups using bulk-RNA and single-cell RNA sequencing data. Furthermore, charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) was identified as the hub gene by combining LASSO, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, RF and eXtreme Gradient Boosting. Importantly, using immunohistochemistry analysis based on our tissue microarray, we found that CHMP2B was highly expressed in tumor tissue, and CD4 and CD8 were more likely to be positive in the CHMP2B-negative group. Survival analyses revealed that CHMP2B adversely impacted the survival of BC patients. In conclusion, we not only constructed a highly accurate predictive model based on PRS, but also revealed the importance of PANoptosis-related gene signature in the modulation of the tumor microenvironment and drug sensitivity in BC.

Abstract
At present, the sustainable development of humans is facing health problems and ecological imbalance caused by environmental pollution. To solve the bacteria, antibiotics and other pollutants in wastewater, Bi3O4Cl and Bi4O5I2 with appropriate bandgap width were selected to prepare Z-type heterojunction Bi3O4Cl/Bi4O5I2 photocatalytic materials by calcination method. Under LED light, the best sample Bi3O4Cl/Bi4O5I2-4 could completely inactivate Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in 30 min, Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in 20 min, and degrade 70.6% of tetracycline (TC) and 97.4% of Rhodamine B (RhB). Photocurrent and electrochemical impedance tests (EIS) confirmed the high photocurrent response and low charge transfer resistance in the Bi3O4Cl/Bi4O5I2. The photocatalytic antibacterial and degradation mechanism of Z-type Bi3O4Cl/Bi4O5I2 heterojunction was verified by capture experiments. Thus, this study provides a compact and efficient photocatalyst with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and degradation properties.

Abstract
Lycium barbarum is widely distributed in China and used as a traditional Chinese medicine herb to treat dizziness, abdominal pain, dry cough, headache and fatigue. Several studies have examined the endophytes of L. barbarum from northwest China; however, few have focused on that from eastern China. The objective of this study was to isolate and determine the endophytic fungi of L. barbarum from Shandong province, as well as to obtain and identify active secondary metabolites from the endophytes. In this study, 17 endophytic fungi were isolated from L. barbarum and denoted as GQ-1 to GQ-17, respectively. These fungi were further classified into ten genera based on the morphological and ITS identification. The crude extracts of these fungi were obtained by using liquid fermentation and EtOAc extraction, and their antibacterial, cytotoxic, and antioxidant activities were evaluated. The results showed that GQ-6 and GQ-16 exhibited high inhibitory activity; GQ-6 and GQ-9 showed high cytotoxic activity and GQ-5 exhibited high scavenging capability for DPPH free radicals. Additionally, Cladosporium sp. GQ-6 was used to investigate the secondary metabolites. The crude extracts were purified by using column chromatography, reverse column, and liquid chromatography, and four monomeric compounds were identified, including two known compounds (α-acetylorcinol (1) and cladosporester B (2)) and two new compounds (cladosporacid F (3) and cladosporester D (4)). The anti-fungal and antibacterial activities of these compounds were confirmed, but no cytotoxic activity was observed. In conclusion, endophytic fungi of L. barbarum from eastern China can serve as a potential source of active natural products with antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are potential targets for cancer therapy. Due to the heterogeneity of CAFs, the influence of CAF subpopulations on the progression of lung cancer is still unclear, which impedes the translational advances in targeting CAFs. METHODS We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on tumour, paired tumour-adjacent, and normal samples from 16 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. CAF subpopulations were analyzed after integration with published NSCLC scRNA-seq data. SpaTial enhanced resolution omics-sequencing (Stereo-seq) was applied in tumour and tumour-adjacent samples from seven NSCLC patients to map the architecture of major cell populations in tumour microenvironment (TME). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and multiplexed IHC (mIHC) were used to validate marker gene expression and the association of CAFs with immune infiltration in TME. RESULTS A subcluster of myofibroblastic CAFs, POSTN+ CAFs, were significantly enriched in advanced tumours and presented gene expression signatures related to extracellular matrix remodeling, tumour invasion pathways and immune suppression. Stereo-seq and mIHC demonstrated that POSTN+ CAFs were in close localization with SPP1+ macrophages and were associated with the exhausted phenotype and lower infiltration of T cells. POSTN expression or the abundance of POSTN+ CAFs were associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS Our study identified a myofibroblastic CAF subpopulation, POSTN+ CAFs, which might associate with SPP1+ macrophages to promote the formation of desmoplastic architecture and participate in immune suppression. Furthermore, we showed that POSTN+ CAFs associated with cancer progression and poor clinical outcomes and may provide new insights on the treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
The successful expression and secretion of recombinant proteins in cell factories significantly depend on the correct folding of nascent peptides, primarily achieved through disulfide bond formation. Thus, optimizing cellular protein folding is crucial, especially for proteins with complex spatial structures. In this study, protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) from various species were introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae to facilitate proper disulfide bond formation and enhance recombinant protein secretion. The impacts of these PDIs on recombinant protein production and yeast growth metabolism were evaluated by substituting the endogenous PDI1. Heterologous PDIs cannot fully compensate the endogenous PDI. Furthermore, protein folding mediators, PDI and ER oxidoreductase 1 (Ero1), from different species were used to increase the production of complex human serum albumin (HSA) fusion proteins. The validated folding mediators were then introduced into unfolded protein response (UPR)-optimized strains, resulting in a 7.8-fold increase in amylase-HSA and an 18.2-fold increase in albiglutide compared with the control strain. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing protein folding and expressing HSA-based drugs.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive system, and its high incidence and metastasis rate make it a terrible killer that threatens human health. In-depth exploration of the targets affecting the progression of colorectal cancer cells and the development of specific targeted drugs for them are of great significance for the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular A2 (EphA2) is a member of the Eph subfamily with tyrosine kinase activity, plays a key role in the regulation of signaling pathways related to the malignant phenotype of various tumor cells, but its specific regulatory mechanism in colorectal cancer needs to be further clarified. Here, we found that EphA2 was abnormally highly expressed in colorectal cancer and that patients with colorectal cancer with high EphA2 expression had a worse prognosis. We also found that EphA2 can form liquid-liquid phase separation condensates on cell membrane, which can be disrupted by ALW-II-41-27, an inhibitor of EphA2. In addition, we found that EphA2 expression in colorectal cancer was positively correlated with the expression of ferroptosis-related genes and the infiltration of multiple immune cells. These findings suggest that EphA2 is a novel membrane protein with phase separation ability and is associated with ferroptosis and immune cell infiltration, which further suggests that malignant progression of colorectal cancer may be inhibited by suppressing the phase separation ability of EphA2.

Abstract
Advances in digital technology have greatly increased the ease of collecting intensive longitudinal data (ILD) such as ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) in studies of behavior changes. Such data are typically multilevel (e.g., with repeated measures nested within individuals), and are inevitably characterized by some degrees of missingness. Previous studies have validated the utility of multiple imputation as a way to handle missing observations in ILD when the imputation model is properly specified to reflect time dependencies. In this study, we illustrate the importance of proper accommodation of multilevel ILD structures in performing multiple imputations, and compare the performance of a multilevel multiple imputation (multilevel MI) approach relative to other approaches that do not account for such structures in a Monte Carlo simulation study. Empirical EMA data from a tobacco cessation study are used to demonstrate the utility of the multilevel MI approach, and the implications of separating participant- and study-initiated EMAs in evaluating individuals' affective dynamics and urge.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) evolved from biomass gasification plays a positive role in the formation of PM2.5 and odor pollution. In order to improve the removal rate of various VOCs produced by biomass gasification, a nickel-based supported HZSM-5 cataly st (Ni/HZSM-5 and Ni-Ca-Co/HZSM-5) was prepared by different auxiliary methods, Ni loadings, and pyrolysis temperatures. The catalytic cracking performance of Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts for different VOCs model compounds such as toluene, phenol, furan, acetic acid and cyclohexane were studied in a fixed-bed reactor. The catalysts were further characterized and analyzed by XRD, SEM, XPS and BET. The results showed that the Ni/HZSM--C-Co5 catalyst prepared by ultrasonic-assisted excess impregnation method with Ni loading of 8 wt%, Ca loading of 4 wt%, Co loading of 0.1 wt% had strong catalytic activity for VOCs degradation. With the increase of the cracking temperature, the conversion rate and gas yield of from model compound cracking improved significantly. At 800 °C, the conversion of each model compound was more than 90%, accompanied by the generation of cracking gases such as H2 and CH4. The selectivity of H2 and CH4 from toluene cracking reached 93%, and cyclohexane reached 98%. The models with higher oxygen content and lower bond energy were more likely to undergo reforming reaction to form small molecular gas. Model compounds with large molecular weight and high carbon content provided more carbon sources. Under the conversion degree towards the gas direction was high. This study provides a new idea on the removal of VOCs for the efficient utilization of biomass resources.

Abstract
Metastasis is an important factor affecting the prognosis of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (BC). However, the molecular basis for migration and invasion of tumor cells remains poorly understood. Here, we identify that bactericidal/permeability-increasing-fold-containing family B member 1 (BPIFB1), which plays an important role in innate immunity, is significantly elevated in breast cancer and associated with lymph node metastasis. High expression of BPIFB1 and its coding mRNA are significantly associated with poor prognosis of hormone receptor-positive BC. Using enrichment analysis and constructing immune infiltration evaluation, we predict the potential ability of BPIFB1 to promote macrophage M2 polarization. Finally, we demonstrate that BPIFB1 promotes the metastasis of hormone receptor-positive BC by stimulating the M2-like polarization of macrophages via the establishment of BC tumor cells/THP1 co-culture system, qPCR, Transwell assay, and animal experiments. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the role of BPIFB1 as a tumor promoter by activating the macrophage M2 polarization in hormone receptor-positive breast carcinoma. Together, these results provide novel insights into the mechanism of BPIFB1 in BC.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) expression was reported to be increased in response to ischemic brain damage, but the biological role and underlying mechanism remain little understood. USP22 shRNA was intravenously injected into the mouse brain, and then a middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) mouse model was constructed, and the infarct volume, neurobehavioral deficit score, cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, and autophagy in vivo were evaluated. Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) treated pheochromocytoma-12 (PC12) cells were used as an in vitro model of ischemia/reperfusion. The effects of USP22 on proliferation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and autophagy were explored by CCK-8, flow cytometry, ELISA, and Western blot assays. The relationship between USP22 and the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) was measured by Co-IP and Western blot assays. Both USP22 and PTEN were highly expressed in MCAO/R mouse brain tissues and OGD/R-induced PC12 cells. In vitro, USP22 knockdown strongly improved OGD/R-mediated changes in cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) production in PC12 cells. USP22 bound to PTEN and stabilized PTEN expression by decreasing its ubiquitination. PTEN overexpression reversed the promoting effect of USP22 knockdown on cell viability and the inhibitory effects of USP22 knockdown on apoptosis, oxidative stress, and LDH release rate in PC12 cells subjected to OGD/R. PTEN silencing elevated the protein levels of p62, p-mTOR, TFEB, and LAMP1 and reduced the protein levels of LC3-II/LC3-I. USP22 expression levels were negatively correlated with mTOR expression levels, and USP22-shRNA-mediated expression of p62, p-mTOR, TFEB, and LAMP1 was reversed by rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTOR. In vivo, USP22 silencing significantly alleviated infarct volume, neurobehavioral impairments, cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, and autophagy in MCAO/R mice. USP22 knockdown exerts neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by downregulating PTEN and activating the mTOR/TFEB pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interactions between phthalic acid esters (PAEs) exposure and Crohn's disease (CD) were unknown. This study aims to examine the association between exposure to PAEs and CD activity and to explore the roles of oxidative stress and microbiota. METHODS A cross-sectional study with 127 CD patients was conducted. The disease activity was evaluated based on symptoms (Harvey-Bradshaw index, HBI), endoscopy findings (Simple Endoscopic Score for CD, SES-CD), and computed tomography enterography (CTE-scores). Ten urinary PAEs metabolites (mPAEs), two urinary oxidative stress biomarkers, including 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α (8-iso-PGF2α), as well as 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples were determined. Multiple linear regression models and Hayes's PROCESS macro for SPSS were used to evaluate the interplays between urinary PAEs metabolites, CD activities, oxidative stress, and microbiota diversity. RESULTS There were positive associations between most mPAEs and HBI. Oxidative stress mediated 20.69-89.29% of the indirect associations between low molecular weight (LMW) mPAEs and HBI, while the majority of the high molecular weight (HMW) mPAEs were directly associated with HBI. In addition, microbiota diversity moderated the indirect associations of LMW mPAEs on HBI. CONCLUSIONS PAEs exposure was related to CD activity, and the association could be mediated by oxidative stress and reversed or alleviated by rich gut microbiota.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore clinical rules based on the big data of the emergency department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, and to establish an integrated platform for clinical research in emergency, which was finally applied to clinical practice. METHODS Based on the hospital information system (HIS), laboratory information system (LIS), emergency specialty system, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and electronic medical record system of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, the structural and unstructured information of patients in the emergency department from March 2019 to April 2022 was extracted. By means of extraction and fusion, normalization and desensitization quality control, the database was established. In addition, data were extracted from the database for adult patients with pre screening triage level III and below who underwent emergency visits from March 2019 to April 2022, such as demographic characteristics, vital signs during pre screening triage, diagnosis and treatment characteristics, diagnosis and grading, time indicators, and outcome indicators, independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients were analyzed. RESULTS (1) The data of 338 681 patients in the emergency department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from March 2019 to April 2022 were extracted, including 15 modules, such as demographic information, triage information, visit information, green pass and rescue information, diagnosis information, medical record information, laboratory examination overview, laboratory information, examination information, microbiological information, medication information, treatment information, hospitalization information, chest pain management and stroke management. The database ensured data visualization and operability. (2) Total 140 868 patients with pre-examination and triage level III and below were recruited from the emergency department database. The gender, age, type of admission to the hospital, pulse, blood pressure, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and other indicators of the patients were included. Taking emergency admission to operating room, emergency admission to intervention room, emergency admission to intensive care unit (ICU) or emergency death as poor prognosis, the poor prognosis prediction model for patients with pre-examination and triage level III and below was constructed. The receiver operator characteristic curve and forest map results showed that the model had good predictive efficiency and could be used in clinical practice to reduce the risk of insufficient emergency pre-examination and triage. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of high-quality clinical database based on big data in emergency department is conducive to mining the clinical value of big data, assisting clinical decision-making, and improving the quality of clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the γ-herpesvirus family, can establish latent infection in B lymphocytes and certain epithelial cells after primary infection. Under certain circumstances, EBV can enter into lytic replication. However, the regulation of EBV latent-lytic infection remains largely unclear. The important immune molecule, interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 3 (IFIT3), was upregulated in EBV latently infected cells. When the lytic replication of EBV was induced, the expression of IFIT3 was further increased. In turn, IFIT3 overexpression dramatically inhibited the lytic replication of EBV, while IFIT3 knockdown facilitated EBV lytic replication. Moreover, upon the lytic induction, the ectopic IFIT3 expression promoted the activation of the interferon (IFN) pathway, including the production of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), IFNB1, and the phosphorylation of IFN-regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). In contrast, the depletion of IFIT3 led to decreased ISGs and IFNB1 expression. Mechanically, IFIT3 inhibited EBV lytic replication through IFN signaling. This study revealed that the host innate immune-related factor IFIT3 played an important role in regulating EBV latent-lytic homeostasis. The results implied that EBV has evolved well to utilize host factors to maintain latent infection.

Abstract
Small molecule-induced fermentation of the endophytic fungus Diaporthe sp. AC1 originated from Artemisia argyi was executed to investigate its secondary metabolites. It was fermented in a culture medium containing 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), 1-methyl-L-tryptophan (1-MT), and tryptamine (TA), respectively. The antibacterial activities of crude extracts against pathogenic bacteria and pathogenic fungi were determined by using the Oxford cup method, while the cytotoxicity of crude extracts against cancer cells was determined by using the MTT method. The results showed that the secondary metabolites of Diaporthe sp. AC1 induced by 1-MT exhibited optimal antibacterial activity and tumor cytotoxicity. The induction conditions of 1-MT were optimized, and the antibacterial activities and tumor cytotoxicity of crude extracts under different induction conditions were investigated. As indicated, the optimal moment for 1-MT addition was before inoculation and its optimal concentration was 0.25 mM. Under these conditions, Diaporthe sp. AC1 was fermented and approximately 12 g of crude extracts was obtained. The crude extracts were then separated and purified to acquire nine monomer compounds, including three new compounds (1-3) and six known compounds (4-9). The antibacterial activities of the compounds against pathogenic bacteria and pathogenic fungi were investigated by using the microdilution method, while their cytotoxicity against cancer cells was analyzed by using the MTT method. The results demonstrated that Compound 1 exhibited moderate antibacterial activities against Verticillium dahlia, Fusarium graminearum, and Botrytis cinerea, as well as a low inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes. Nevertheless, Compound 1 showed significant cytotoxicity against five cancer cells, with IC50 ranging from 12.26 to 52.52 μM. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited negligible biological activity, while other compounds showed detectable inhibitory activities against pathogenic bacteria and cancer cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the prolonged and widespread epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The inactivated BBIBP-CorV vaccine has shown safety, efficacy and immunogenicity against COVID-19 in in-vitro studies and clinical trials. However, the characteristics changes of the TCRβ repertoire in patients receiving BBIBP-CorV remain unclear. METHODS TCRβ repertoire difference were analyzed between 54 uninfected subjects who received a third dose of the enhanced BBIBP-CorV vaccine and the 16 healthy donors who did not receive the vaccine and 44 COVID-19 patients with different courses of disease (asymptomatic, symptomatic and convalescent). Furthermore, antibody response, anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines also were examined. RESULTS We found that the third dose inactivated coronavirus vaccine induced widespread changes including the increased TCRβ repertoire diversity, a much shorter CDR3 length and high usage of V-J genes segments. Meanwhile, the vaccine-responding clones were also predicted. The results of the antibody response showed that 90.7 % of the vaccinated individuals were positive for NAb seroconversion and 88.9 % for IgG antibody about 60 days after the third dose. The concentration of IL-2 increased significantly compared to baseline inoculation. CONCLUSION Altered TCRβ repertoire in adults with SARS CoV-2 inactivated vaccine of BBIBP-CorV clarified the specific immunity induced by inactivated vaccines. Our research provides insights into the adaptive immune response induced by the new inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and strengthens the development of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background: This case series report aimed to present three surgical approaches used for the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea, providing less invasive surgical options for managing this condition. Methods: Clinical data of 26 patients with CSF otorrhea, who underwent treatment using three surgical methods between June 2012 and June 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. The study collected information on patients' basic demographic characteristics, chief complaints, location of the defect, results of otorrhea endoscopic examination, findings from skull base thin-slice computed tomography (CT) examination, and causes of CSF otorrhea. Postoperative outcomes of CSF otorrhea were followed up. Results: Among the 26 cases of CSF otorrhea, there were 13 (50%) males and 13 (50%) females who underwent treatment using the three surgical methods. The etiology of CSF otorrhea included 10 (38%) cases of spontaneous CSF otorrhea, including 2 (8%) cases of congenital inner ear deformity and 8 (31%) cases without obvious inducement. Additionally, there were 5 (19%) cases of trauma, 6 (23%) cases of cholesteatoma complications, 3 (12%) cases of postoperative complications of brain tumor, 1 (4%) case of radiotherapy, and 1 (4%) case of a malignant tumor. A total of 12 (46%) cases of CSF otorrhea were treated by local repair of the defect. Furthermore, 3 (12%) cases underwent local repair of the defect combined with sealing of the tympanic sinus entrance, while 11 (42%) cases underwent local repair of the defect combined with sealing of the eustachian tube and the external auditory canal. No recurrence of CSF otorrhea was observed during the 6-month to 10-year follow-up period after surgery. Conclusion: The three methods for CSF otorrhea, including local defect repair, local defect repair combined with sealing of the tympanic sinus entrance, and sealing of the eustachian tube and the external auditory canal, demonstrated successful outcomes in appropriately selected patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test. Methods: This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ (2) test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results: After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea (Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The centromere protein O (CENPO) is an important member of the centromere protein family. However, the role of CENPO in pan-cancer and immune infiltration has not been reported. Here, we investigated the role of CENPO in pan-cancer and further validated its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) by in vitro experiments. METHOD The UCSC Xena database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-LUAD data were used to assess the expression levels of CENPO. The potential value of CENPO as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for pan-cancer was evaluated using TCGA data and the GEPIA database. The -expression profiles of LUAD patients and the corresponding clinical data were downloaded for correlation analysis. The role of CENPO in immune infiltration was investigated using the UCSC Xena database. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of CENPO. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were determined using CCK-8, wound-healing assay, and transwell assay, respectively. RESULTS CENPO is highly expressed in most cancers, and the upregulation of CENPO is associated with poor prognosis in many cancers. CENPO expression correlates with age, TNM stage, N stage, T stage, and receipt of radiotherapy in LUAD patients, and LUAD patients with high CENPO expression have poorer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). In addition, CENPO expression is associated with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Moreover, the expression of CENPO was closely related to the expression of tumor mutational load and microsatellite instability. In vitro experiments showed that CENPO expression was increased in LUAD cell lines and that knockdown of CENPO significantly inhibited the proliferation, cell invasion, and migration ability of LUAD cells. CONCLUSION CENPO may be a potential pan-cancer biomarker and oncogene, especially in LUAD. In addition, CENPO is associated with immune cell infiltration and may serve as a new molecular therapeutic target and effective prognostic marker for LUAD.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the rate of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin and the common mutation patterns of resistance genes in Ningxia, and to assess the concordance between phenotypic resistance and genotypic resistance. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Patients diagnosed with Hp infection in 14 hospitals in Ningxia region from February 2020 to May 2022 were retrospectively selected. Hp strains were isolated from gastric biopsy specimens of Hp-infected patients and subjected to phenotypic drug sensitivity testing and detection of resistance genes to analyze the rate of Hp resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin and the common mutation patterns of resistance genes in Ningxia region; and the concordance rate and Kappa concordance test were used to assess the concordance between phenotypic resistance and genotypic resistance. Results: A total of 1 942 Hp strains were isolated and cultured, and among the infections, 1 069 cases (55.0%) were male and 873 cases (45.0%) were female, aged (50.0±12.5) years (15-86 years). The rates of Hp resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin in Ningxia were 42.1% (818/1 942) and 40.1% (779/1 942), respectively, and the rate of dual resistance to both was 22.8% (443/1 942). The rate of resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin of Hp strains from female patients was higher than in male patients (levofloxacin: 50.4%(440/873) vs 35.4%(378/1 069); clarithromycin: 44.4%(388/873) vs 36.6%(391/1 069), both P<0.001). Among the GyrA gene mutations associated with levofloxacin resistance, the differences in mutation rate of amino acid at positions 87 and 91 were statistically significant in both drug-resistant and sensitive strains(both P<0.001), except for Asn87Thr. Hp strains were statistically significant for levofloxacin (Kappa=0.834, P<0.001) and clarithromycin (Kappa=0.829, P<0.001) had good concordance in resistance at the phenotypic and genotypic levels. Conclusion: The resistance of Hp to levofloxacin and clarithromycin in Ningxia region is severe, and there is good consistency between genotypic and phenotypic resistance.

Abstract
A two-step thermo-induced spin-state switching was observed in a cyanide-bridged [Fe2Fe2] molecular square complex, {[Fe(pzTp)(CN)3]2[Fe(L)2]2}[Fe(pzTp)(CN)3]2·4CH3OH·2H2O [1·4MeOH·2H2O; pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazol-1-yl)borate and L = bis(1-ethylimidazol-2-yl)ketone (bik*)], which was characterized fully by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, (photo)magnetic measurements, and spectroscopic techniques. 1·4MeOH·2H2O exhibited a two-step thermo-induced spin transition with T1/2 (1) ↑ = 306 K and T1/2 (2) ↑ = 370 K converting the low-temperature ground state, {[(FeIIILS)2(FeIILS)2](FeIIILS)2} into the high-temperature state, {[(FeIIILS)2(FeIIHS)2](FeIIILS)2} via a stable intermediate phase. The desolvated phase, 1 also exhibited a gradual but reversible thermo-induced spin state change with a T1/2 value of 190 K, significantly shifted to a lower temperature. It also exhibited photo-induced spin-state switching at 20 K with the TLIESST value of 60 K.
