Abstract
The phosphorylated noncollagenous proteins (NCPs) play a vital role in manipulating biomineralization, while the mechanism of phosphorylation of NCPs in intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen fibril has not been completely deciphered. Poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) and sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) as templating analogues of NCPs induce hierarchical mineralization in cooperation with indispensable sequestration analogues such as polyacrylic acid (PAA) via polymer-induced liquid-like precursor (PILP) process. Herein, we propose STMP-Ca and PVPA-Ca complexes to achieve rapid intrafibrillar mineralization through polyelectrolyte-Ca complexes pre-precursor (PCCP) process. This strategy is further verified effectively for remineralization of demineralized dentin matrix both in vitro and vivo. Although STMP micromolecule fails to stabilize amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursor, STMP-Ca complexes facilely permeate into intrafibrillar interstices and trigger phase transition of ACP to hydroxyapatite within collagen. In contrast, PVPA-stabilized ACP precursors lack liquid-like characteristic and crystallize outside collagen due to rigid conformation of PVPA macromolecule, while PVPA-Ca complexes infiltrate into partial intrafibrillar intervals under electrostatic attraction and osmotic pressure as evidenced by intuitionistic three-dimensional stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (3D-STORM). The study not only extends the variety and size range of polyelectrolyte for PCCP process but also sheds light on the role of phosphorylation for NCPs in biomineralization.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) protein significantly improve survival in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but its impact on early-stage ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions remains unclear. This is a single-arm, phase II trial (NCT04026841) using Simon's optimal two-stage design, of which 4 doses of sintilimab (200 mg per 3 weeks) were administrated in 36 enrolled multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) patients with persistent high-risk (Lung-RADS category 4 or had progressed within 6 months) GGOs. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). T/B/NK-cell subpopulations, TCR-seq, cytokines, exosomal RNA, and multiplexed immunohistochemistry (mIHC) were monitored and compared between responders and non-responders. Finally, two intent-to-treat (ITT) lesions (pure-GGO or GGO-predominant) showed responses (ORR: 5.6%, 2/36), and no patients had progressive disease (PD). No grade 3-5 TRAEs occurred. The total response rate considering two ITT lesions and three non-intent-to-treat (NITT) lesions (pure-solid or solid-predominant) was 13.9% (5/36). The proportion of CD8+ T cells, the ratio of CD8+/CD4+, and the TCR clonality value were significantly higher in the peripheral blood of responders before treatment and decreased over time. Correspondingly, the mIHC analysis showed more CD8+ T cells infiltrated in responders. Besides, responders' cytokine concentrations of EGF and CTLA-4 increased during treatment. The exosomal expression of fatty acid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation gene signatures were down-regulated among responders. Collectively, PD-1 inhibitor showed certain activity on high-risk pulmonary GGO lesions without safety concerns. Such effects were associated with specific T-cell re-distribution, EGF/CTLA-4 cytokine compensation, and regulation of metabolism pathways.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of lumbar paraspinal muscle degeneration and postoperative failure to restore ideal Roussouly classification on the occurrence of mechanical complications (MC) following long-segment spinal correction surgery in female patients with degenerative scoliosis (DS). Methods: The clinical data of 72 female DS patients who underwent long-segment spinal correction surgery in Gulou Hospital from June 2017 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether restoring the ideal Roussouly classification after surgery, the patients were divided into R group(recovery group) (n=51) and N group(non-recovery group) (n=21). According to whether mechanical complications occurred after operation within two years, the patients were divided into MC (mechanical complications)group (n=24) and NMC(non-mechanical complications) group (n=48). The RM group (n=14) experienced mechanical complications in the R group, while the RN group (n=37) did not. The NM group (n=10) experienced mechanical complications in the N group, while the NN group (n=11) did not.Radiographic assessment included Sagittal parameters of spine and pelvis, standardized cross-sectional area (SCSA) and fat infiltration rate (FI%) of paraspinal muscle at each lumbar disc level. Results: The age of DS patients in this study was (61.4±6.2) years.The incidence of MC was 33.33%(n=24)in all patients. The incidence of MC was 27.45%(n=14)in group R and 47.62%(n=10) in group N. The correction amount of pelvic tilt angle (PT) (-11.62°±10.06° vs -7.04°±8.45°, P=0.046) and T1 pelvic angle(TPA)(-12.88°±11.23° vs -7.31°±9.55°, P=0.031)during surgery were significantly higher in MC group compared to the NMC group. In group R, the FI% of paraspinal muscles in each lumbar segment of patients with postoperative MC was higher than that in patients without MC (P<0.05). In the R and N groups, there was no significant difference inthe SCSA of the lumbar paravertebral muscles between patients with postoperative MC and those without MC at each level (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the average FI% of lumbar PSM was correlated with the occurrence of MC after spinal fusion in DS patients.The average FI% of lumbar PSM≥22.63% was a risk factors for MC after spinal fusion (P=0.010,OR=1.088, 95%CI:1.020-1.160). Conclusions: Female DS patients with higher degree of preoperative paraspinal muscle degeneration have a higher incidence of postoperative mechanical complications. For these patients,.there is still a higher risk of mechanical complications after surgery even if the ideal Roussouly classification is restored after surgery.

Abstract
Luminescent metal-organic gels (LMOGs) have gained much attention due to their crucial role in visual recognition and information encryption. However, it is still a challenge to simplify the design of ligands and enrich the stimuli responses in LMOGs simultaneously. Herein, although a single pyridine ligand cannot form gel alone, after coordination with metal ions, two kinds of LMOGs have been obtained with pyridine-metal complexes, where metal ions can act as cogelators and regulate luminescence of the pyridine-functionalized cyanostilbene ligand at the same time. The effects of metal types on the fluorescence emission color, the fluorescence quantum yield, the fibril network, and the assembly mode of the gel have been investigated systematically. In addition, two competitive ligands were used to regulate the fluorescence and phase transition of the gel. Finally, the logic gates and the information encryption and decryption have been successfully constructed. This kind of material is expected to be applied to fluorescence display, advanced information encryption, high-tech anticounterfeit, and so forth.

Abstract
The ectonucleotidase CD39 has been regarded as a promising immune checkpoint in solid tumors. However, the expression of CD39 by tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells as well as their potential roles and clinical implications in human gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. Here, we found that GC-infiltrating CD8+ T cells contained a fraction of CD39hi cells that constituted about 6.6% of total CD8+ T cells in tumors. These CD39hi cells enriched for GC-infiltrating CD8+ T cells with features of exhaustion in transcriptional, phenotypic, metabolic and functional profiles. Additionally, GC-infiltrating CD39hiCD8+ T cells were also identified for tumor-reactive T cells, as these cells expanded in vitro were able to recognize autologous tumor organoids and induced more tumor cell apoptosis than those of expanded their CD39int and CD39-CD8+ counterparts. Furthermore, CD39 enzymatic activity controlled GC-infiltrating CD39hiCD8+ T cell effector function, and blockade of CD39 efficiently enhanced their production of cytokines IFN-γ and TNF-α. Finally, high percentages of GC-infiltrating CD39hiCD8+ T cells correlated with tumor progression and independently predicted patients' poor overall survival. These findings provide novel insights into the association of CD39 expression level on CD8+ T cells with their features and potential clinical implications in GC, and empowering those exhausted tumor-reactive CD39hiCD8+ T cells through CD39 inhibition to circumvent the suppressor program may be an attractive therapeutic strategy against GC.

Abstract
Objectives CD4+ T cell helper and regulatory function in human cancers has been well characterised. However, the definition of tumor-infiltrating CD4+ T cell exhaustion and how it contributes to the immune response and disease progression in human gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. Methods A total of 128 GC patients were enrolled in the study. The expression of CD39 and PD-1 on CD4+ T cells in the different samples was analysed by flow cytometry. GC-infiltrating CD4+ T cell subpopulations based on CD39 expression were phenotypically and functionally assessed. The role of CD39 in the immune response of GC-infiltrating T cells was investigated by inhibiting CD39 enzymatic activity. Results In comparison with CD4+ T cells from the non-tumor tissues, significantly more GC-infiltrating CD4+ T cells expressed CD39. Most GC-infiltrating CD39+CD4+ T cells exhibited CD45RA-CCR7- effector-memory phenotype expressing more exhaustion-associated inhibitory molecules and transcription factors and produced less TNF-α, IFN-γ and cytolytic molecules than their CD39-CD4+ counterparts. Moreover, ex vivo inhibition of CD39 enzymatic activity enhanced their functional potential reflected by TNF-α and IFN-γ production. Finally, increased percentages of GC-infiltrating CD39+CD4+ T cells were positively associated with disease progression and patients' poorer overall survival. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that CD39 expression defines GC-infiltrating CD4+ T cell exhaustion and their immunosuppressive function. Targeting CD39 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for treating GC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extrafibrillar demineralization is an etching technique that removes only minerals from around the collagen fibrils for resin infiltration. The intrafibrillar minerals are left intact to avoid their replacement by water that is hard for adhesive resin monomers to displace. The present work reported the synthesis of a water-soluble methacryloyloxy glycol chitosan-EDTA conjugate (GCE-MA) and evaluated its potential as an extrafibrillar demineralization agent for self-etch dentin bonding. METHODS Glycol chitosan-EDTA was functionalized with a methacryloyloxy functionality. Conjugation was confirmed using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. The GCE-MA was used to prepare experimental self-etch primers. Extrafibrillar demineralization of the primers was evaluated with scaning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The feasibility of this new self-etch bonding approach was evaluated using microtensile bond strength testing and inhibition of dentin gelatinolytic activity. The antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of GCE-MA were also analyzed. RESULTS Conjugation of EDTA and the methacryloyloxy functionality to glycol chitosan was successful. The functionalized conjugate was capable of extrafibrillar demineralization of mineralized collagen fibrils. Tensile bond strength of the experimental self-etch primer to dentin was comparable to that of phosphoric acid-etched dentin and the commercial self-etch primer Clearfil SE Bond 2. The GCE-MA also inhibited soluble rhMMP-9. In-situ zymography detected minimal fluorescence in hybrid layers conditioned with the experimental primer. The GCE-MA was noncytotoxic and possessed antibacterial activities against planktonic bacteria. SIGNIFICANCE Synthesis of GCE-MA brought into fruition a self-etch conditioner that selectively demineralizes the extrafibrillar mineral component of dentin. A self-etch primer prepared with GCE-MA achieved bond strengths comparable to commercial reference adhesive systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychological distress is common in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and high psychological resilience can promote psychological well-being. The current research focuses on psychological resilience protective factors such as family resilience and social support. However, the trajectories of psychological resilience, family resilience, and social support over time and their longitudinal relationships in maintenance hemodialysis patients have not been fully explored yet. Therefore, this study aims to explore the longitudinal relationship between these factors. METHODS Patients who received regular hemodialysis treatment for more than three months at dialysis centers of three tertiary hospitals in Zhejiang, China, were recruited from September to December 2020. A total of 252 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria completed three follow-up surveys, including social support, family resilience, and psychological resilience assessments. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to explore differences in their respective scores at different time points. The cross-lagged analysis was performed in AMOS using the maximum likelihood method to examine the the reciprocal predictive relationships between these factors. RESULTS Social support and psychological resilience remained relatively stable over time, whereas family resilience indicated a little increasing trend. According to the cross-lagged analysis, higher T1 social support predicted higher family resilience at T2 [β = 0.123, 95% CI (0.026-0.244)]. Further, the effects of T2 social support to T3 family resilience [β = 0.194, 95%CI (0.039-0.335)] and psychological resilience [β = 0.205, 95%CI (0.049-0.354)] were significant. Finally, the effects of T2 family resilience to T3 social support [β = 0.122, 95%CI (0.010-0.225)] and psychological resilience [β = 0.244, 95%CI (0.119-0.359)] were also significant. CONCLUSIONS The study showed that the directionality of the relationship appears to be from social support or family resilience to patients' psychological resilience but not vice versa. This finding reminds healthcare professionals to emphasize the vital role of social and family resources in providing appropriate support and interventions for maintenance hemodialysis patients to promote psychological resilience and mental health development.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of programmed cell death characterized by iron overload, ROS accumulation, and lipid peroxidation. It is distinguished by unique morphological, biochemical, and genetic features and stands apart from other known regulated cell death mechanisms. Studies have demonstrated a close association between ferroptosis and various cancers, including liver cancer, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer. Inducing ferroptosis has shown promising results in inhibiting tumor growth and reversing tumor progression. However, the challenge lies in regulating ferroptosis in vivo due to the scarcity of potent compounds that can activate it. Integrating emerging biomedical discoveries and technological innovations with conventional therapies is imperative. Notably, considerable progress has been made in cancer treatment by leveraging immunotherapy and nanotechnology to trigger ferroptosis. This review explores the relationship between ferroptosis and emerging immunotherapies and nanotechnologies, along with their potential underlying mechanisms, offering valuable insights for developing novel cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
Single crystals of GaKCu(PO4)2were synthesized using the hydrothermal method, and subsequent measurements of specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, and high-field magnetization were performed. A broad peak is observed in the magnetic susceptibility and specific heat curves, with the maximum values appearing at about 11.5 K and 5.29 K, respectively. The highest maximum peak value of susceptibility is observed when the magnetic field is applied along thec-axis, followed by thea-axis,b-axis, and polycrystalline samples. These indicate that the system exhibits one-dimensional magnetism and the magnetic easy axis is thecaxis. The magnetization at 2 K reveals the occurrence of a field-induced Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) phase within the magnetic field range of approximately 8-12 T. High-field magnetization up to 40 T indicates that the compound reaches magnetization saturation as the field exceedsHs= 12 T. Through systematic measurements, a field-temperature (H-T) phase diagram was constructed, and dome-like phase boundaries were observed. The findings suggest that GaKCu(PO4)2is a spin gap system and a promising candidate for studying BEC of magnons due to its phase transition boundary occurring at low magnetic fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have found that frailty and sarcopenia are commonly diagnosed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, indicating an association between these conditions. Nonetheless, the cause‒effect connection between IBD, frailty, and sarcopenia remains unclear. METHODS We sourced the genetic variants for the exposures and outcomes from publicly accessible, extensive genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Specifically, we obtained IBD data from the International IBD Genetics Consortium, frailty index (FI) data from the United Kingdom Biobank and Swedish TwinGene, and sarcopenia data from a recent GWAS meta-analysis. Five methods, including inverse variance weighted (IVW), simple mode, MR-Egger, weighted mode, and the weighted median, were used to proceed with MR estimates. We also performed heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy tests. RESULTS Our results indicated a positive causal relationship between ulcerative colitis (UC) (IVW: β = 0.014, 95% CI, 0.006 to 0.021, p = 0.001) and Crohn's disease (CD) (IVW: β = 0.012; 95% CI, 0.006 to 0.018, p = 2e-04) with the FI. However, we uncovered no proof of a cause-and-effect relationship between UC (IVW: β = 0.001, 95% CI, -0.015 to 0.017, p = 0.344) or CD (IVW: β = 0.003, 95% CI, -0.009 to 0.015, p = 0.214) and sarcopenia. Additionally, in the inverse order, we also discovered no cause-and-effect connection between FI or sarcopenia on UC or CD in this study. CONCLUSION The MR analysis showed a positive causal association between IBD and FI, indicating that IBD patients may exhibit aging-related characteristics. Therefore, frailty assessments should be conducted as early as possible in IBD patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlations between cosmetic and radiographic parameters of shoulder balance, as well as the variations in cosmetic shoulder balance observed from different perspectives, among patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) characterized by thoracic curves. Methods: A total of 43 patients with thoracic curves treated from July to October in 2022 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were recruited in this study. There were 9 males and 34 females with a mean age of (14.3±1.5) years. All participants underwent comprehensive radiographic assessments and were photographed both from posterior and anterior views, focusing on the shoulder region as well as a higher level (maintaining a consistent vertical distance of 180 cm from the ground). Six cosmetic parameters were measured on the photographs: shoulder angle(α1), axilla angle(α2), shoulder area index 1(SAI1), shoulder area index 2 (SAI2), inner shoulder height (SHi) and outer shoulder height (SHo). Eight radiographic parameters were measured on the radiographs: radiographic shoulder height difference (RSHD), first rib angle (FRA), clavicle-rib cage intersection (CRCI), coracoid process height (CPH), T1 tilt, clavicle angle(CA), clavicle chest cage angle difference (CCAD) and Cobb angle. Differences among bilateral cosmetic indicators from different perspectives were analyzed and compared, and their correlation with bilateral radiographic indicators was studied. Results: There was no significant differences between anterior cosmetic parameters and posterior cosmetic parameters at the same level of observation(all P>0.05). However, when observing SHi, SHo, α1, and α2 at the shoulder level, it became evident that they exhibited significantly higher values compared to the corresponding higher level on the same side of the patients' bodies. This contrast was observed in both the dorsal [SHo: (0.11±1.20) cm vs (-0.44±1.39) cm, P=0.005; SHi: (0.64±0.86) cm vs (0.32±0.56) cm, P=0.003; α1:-0.47°±2.27° vs -0.77°±2.49°, P=0.014; α2:-3.06°±3.23° vs -2.21°±3.03°, P=0.034] and ventral [SHo: (0.12±1.29) cm vs (-0.48±1.35) cm, P=0.007; SHi: (0.61±0.88) cm vs (0.30±0.59) cm, P=0.006; α1:-0.46°±2.18° vs -0.69°±2.35°, P=0.018; α2:-3.26°±3.12° vs -2.05°±2.97°, P=0.029] aspects of the patients. SHi and SHo were more sensitive to this difference of height. The correlation coefficients between radiographic parameters and cosmetic aspects at the shoulder level varied from 0.374 to 0.767. Similarly, the correlation coefficients between radiographic parameters and cosmetic factors at the higher level ranged from 0.273 to 0.579 (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The cosmetic parameters had significant difference between different perspective of observation, the cosmetic parameters are needed to be observed at the shoulder level in the evaluation of patients' shoulder balance.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the indications and surgical outcome of Cobb+1 to Cobb fusion strategy in Lenke 5C adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with the lower lumbar apex. Methods: The clinical data of Lenke 5C AIS patients treated in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from August 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed-up for at least 2 years after surgery and treated with selective Cobb+1 to Cobb fusion strategy. The patients were divided into the normal lumbar apex group (apex location of the main curve was between T12 and L1) and the lower lumbar apex group (apex location of the main curve was below the disc of L1/L2). The occurrence of proximal decompensation in the two groups was compared. In addition, according to whether the patients had proximal decompensation at the last follow-up, the patients in the lower lumbar apex group were further divided into proximal decompensation group and non-decompensation group. The radiographic parameters and Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) scores of the two groups were compared. Results: A total of 52 patients (19 cases in the normal lumbar apex group and 33 cases in the lower lumbar apex group), aged (15.3±1.6) years, were followed up for 2-5 (3.2±1.2) years. Six patients (6/19) in the normal lumbar apex group and 5 cases (15.2%) in the lower lumbar apex group showed proximal decompensation during follow-up, and the incidence was significantly higher in the normal lumbar apex group (P=0.034). Within the lower lumbar apex group, the patients with proximal decompensation (n=5) showed similar Risser grade, baseline thoracic Cobb angle, and main Cobb angle as those without proximal decompensation(n=28), and the differences were all not statistically significant (all P>0.05). However, the baseline thoracic/lumbar apical vertebra translation (AVT) ratio was significantly larger in patients with proximal decompensation (0.6±0.2 vs 0.4±0.2, P=0.042), but the postoperative upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) tilt angle was similar (4.5°±2.3° vs 6.2°±3.4°, P=0.312). Conclusion: Cobb+1 to Cobb fusion strategy, selecting UIV at 1 level above upper end vertebra (UEV), could be performed in Lenke 5C patients with the lower lumbar apex location. In addition, UIV could be selected at UEV+1 in patients with small baseline thoracic curve.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the HIV-1 genotype and distribution of newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases in Fujian Province in 2020, so as to provide insights into formulation of the precise AIDS control strategy in the province. METHODS Newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases without antiretroviral therapy (excluding AIDS patients) were randomly sampled from each city of Fujian Province in 2020 at a proportion of 50% of the mean number of HIV-infected cases reported across 9 cities of Fujian Province during the past three years. Subjects' demographic and epidemiological data were collected and blood samples were collected. The HIV-1 pol gene was amplified using nested reverse-transcription PCR assay, and the gene sequences were used for HIV-1 genotyping and phylogenetic analysis. The gene sequences were uploaded to the HIV Drug Resistance Database (http://hivdb.stanford.edu) for genotypic drug resistance assays, and the scores and level of HIV drug resistance were estimated using the HIVDB Algorithm version 9.5. RESULTS A total of 1 043 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases were reported in Fujian Province in 2020, and 936 gene sequences were successfully obtained following sequencing of blood samples. There were 9 HIV-1 genotypes characterized in blood samples from 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with CRF07_BC (52.1%) and CRF01_AE (30.4%) as predominant subtypes, followed by CRF08_BC (4.9%), CRF55_01B (3.0%), subtype C (2.5%), subtype B (2.1%), CRF85_BC (1.7%), CRF59_01B (0.3%) and CRF65_CPX (0.1%), and unidentified subtypes were found in 26 blood samples. HIV-1 drug resistance was detected in 43 out of the 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with 4.6% prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance prior to therapy, and the highest drug resistance was found in the HIV CRF59_01B subtype, followed by in CRF08_BC, B, C, CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and other subtypes, with a significant difference in the genotype-specific prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance (χ2 = 45.002, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS There was a HIV-1 genotype diversity in Fujian Province in 2020, and emerging recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains were detected and spread across patients and regions. Monitoring of HIV-1 genotypes is recommended to be reinforced for timely understanding of the transmission and spread of novel recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Integrin αv (ITGAV, CD51) is regarded as a key component in multiple stages of tumor progression. However, the clinical failure of cilengitide, a specific inhibitor targeting surface CD51, suggests the importance of yet-unknown mechanisms by which CD51 promotes tumor progression. METHODS In this study, we used several hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines and murine hepatoma cell lines. To investigate the role of CD51 on HCC progression, we used a 3D invasion assay and in vivo bioluminescence imaging. We used periostin-knockout transgenic mice to uncover the role of the tumor microenvironment on CD51 cleavage. Moreover, we used several clinically relevant HCC models, including patient-derived organoids and patient-derived xenografts, to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of cilengitide in combination with the γ-secretase inhibitor LY3039478. RESULTS We found that CD51 could undergo transmembrane cleavage by γ-secretase to produce a functional intracellular domain (CD51-ICD). The cleaved CD51-ICD facilitated HCC invasion and metastasis by promoting the transcription of oxidative phosphorylation-related genes. Furthermore, we identified cancer-associated fibroblast-derived periostin as the major driver of CD51 cleavage. Lastly, we showed that cilengitide-based therapy led to a dramatic therapeutic effect when supplemented with LY3039478 in both patient-derived organoid and xenograft models. CONCLUSIONS In summary, we revealed previously unrecognized mechanisms by which CD51 is involved in HCC progression and uncovered the underlying cause of cilengitide treatment failure, as well as providing evidence supporting the translational prospects of combined CD51-targeted therapy in the clinic. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS Integrin αv (CD51) is a widely recognized pro-tumoral molecule that plays a crucial role in various stages of tumor progression, making it a promising therapeutic target. However, despite early promising results, cilengitide, a specific antagonist of CD51, failed in a phase III clinical trial. This prompted further investigation into the underlying mechanisms of CD51's effects. This study reveals that the γ-secretase complex directly cleaves CD51 to produce an intracellular domain (CD51-ICD), which functions as a pro-tumoral transcriptional regulator and can bypass the inhibitory effects of cilengitide by entering the nucleus. Furthermore, the localization of CD51 in the nucleus is significantly associated with the prognosis of patients with HCC. These findings provide a theoretical basis for re-evaluating cilengitide in clinical settings and highlight the importance of identifying a more precise patient subpopulation for future clinical trials targeting CD51.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common and disabling mental disorders, and current strategies remain inadequate. Although mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown beneficial effects in experimental models of depression, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, using murine depression models, we demonstrated that MSCs could alleviate depressive and anxiety-like behaviors not due to a reduction in proinflammatory cytokines, but rather activation of dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons. Mechanistically, peripheral delivery of MSCs activated pulmonary innervating vagal sensory neurons, which projected to the nucleus tractus solitarius, inducing the release of 5-HT in DRN. Furthermore, MSC-secreted brain-derived neurotrophic factor activated lung sensory neurons through tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and inhalation of a TrkB agonist also achieved significant therapeutic effects in male mice. This study reveals a role of peripheral MSCs in regulating central nervous system function and demonstrates a potential "lung vagal-to-brain axis" strategy for MDD.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of iron-dependent oxidative cell death and drives the loss of neurons in spinal cord injury (SCI). Mitochondrial damage is a critical contributor to neuronal death, while mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an essential process for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis to promote neuronal survival. However, the role of MQC in neuronal ferroptosis has not been clearly elucidated. Here, we further demonstrate that neurons primarily suffer from ferroptosis in SCI at the single-cell RNA sequencing level. Mechanistically, disordered MQC aggravates ferroptosis through excessive mitochondrial fission and mitophagy. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-mediated mitochondrial transfer restores neuronal mitochondria pool and inhibits ferroptosis through mitochondrial fusion by intercellular tunneling nanotubes. Collectively, these results not only suggest that neuronal ferroptosis is regulated in an MQC-dependent manner, but also fulfill the molecular mechanism by which MSCs attenuate neuronal ferroptosis at the subcellular organelle level. More importantly, it provides a promising clinical translation strategy based on stem cell-mediated mitochondrial therapy for mitochondria-related central nervous system disorders.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare single- and double-layer digital template-assisted genioplasty for the correction of jaw deformity resulting from temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA). Thirteen patients with jaw deformity resulting from TMJA who underwent lateral arthroplasty, costochondral graft, or total joint replacement combined with single- or double-layer digital template-assisted genioplasty were included. Computed tomography data were obtained for the preoperative design. Digital templates were designed and manufactured using three-dimensional printing to assist with the chin osteotomy and repositioning in single- or double-layer genioplasty. Of the 13 patients included, seven underwent single-layer genioplasty and six underwent double-layer genioplasty. The digital templates precisely reflected the osteotomy planes and repositioning of the chin segments intraoperatively. The radiographic evaluation showed that the patients who underwent double-layer genioplasty exhibited more chin advancement (11.95 ± 0.92 mm vs 7.50 ± 0.89 mm; P < 0.001) with a slightly larger mean surface error (1.19 ± 0.14 mm vs 0.75 ± 0.15 mm; P < 0.001) than those who underwent single-layer genioplasty. This indicates that double-layer genioplasty better promoted chin advancement and improved the facial shape, but was accompanied by more surgical error compared with the preoperative design. Furthermore, hardly any nerve damage was observed. Digital templates are useful for assisting in surgical procedures.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) had important roles in the treatment of relapse or refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Treatment of refractory disease after BV and -/or ICIs remains a challenge. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for R/R HL after failure to BV or ICIs. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients in two institutions with R/R HL who had failed after first-line therapy, and were refractory to BV or ICIs, and received radiotherapy (RT) thereafter. The overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 19 patients were enrolled. First-line systemic therapy consisted of ABVD (84.2%), AVD + ICIs (10.5%) and BEACOPP (5.3%), respectively. After first-line therapy, 15 patients (78.9%) were refractory, and 4 patients (21.1%) relapsed. After diagnosis of R/R HL, 8 patients (42.1%) received BV, and 17 patients (89.5%) received ICIs. RT was delivered in all 19 patients who failed after BV or ICIs. In 16 efficacy-evaluable patients, the ORR and CR rate were 100% and 100%. The median DOR was 17.2 months (range, 7.9 to 46.7 months). 3 patients progressed at outside of the radiation field. The in-field-response rate was 100%. The 12-month PFS and OS were 84.4% and 100%, respectively. No patients were reported with sever adverse events. CONCLUSION This study concluded that radiotherapy was effective and safe for refractory HL after BV or ICIs. Further prospective studies were warranted.

Abstract
Background: Elucidation of the mechanism of ubiquitation has led to novel ways to treat glioblastoma (GBM). A tripartite motif (TRIM) protein mediates a reversible, stringent ubiquitation which is closely related to glioma malignancy. This study intends to screen the most vital and abnormal regulating component of the tripartite motif protein and to explore its underlying mechanisms. Methods: TRIM21 is identified as an important oncogene that accelerates the progression of glioma cell through database in a multidimensional way and this is confirmed in human samples and cells. Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) and MS analysis are performed to discover the substrates of TRIM21.The underlying mechanisms are further investigated by CO-IP, luciferase reporter assays and gain and loss of function assays. In vivo treatment with siRNA is applied to evaluate the therapeutic significance of TRIM21. Result: We screened a panel of TRIM proteins and identified TRIM21, a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase and autoantigen, as well as a prognostic biomarker for GBM. Functionally, high expression of wild-type TRIM21 accelerates tumor progression in vitro and in vivo, whereas TRIM21 mutants, including one with a critical RING-finger deletion, do not. Mechanistically, TRIM21 stimulates K63-linked ubiquitination and subcellular translocation of active β-catenin from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Moreover, TRIM21 forms a complex with the β-catenin upstream regulator, TIF1γ, in the nucleus and accelerated its degradation by inducing K48-linked ubiquitination at K5 site, consequently increasing further nuclear β-catenin presence. Endogenous TRIM21 levels are found to be inversely correlated with TIF1γ but positively correlated with β-catenin in glioma tissue microarray experiments. Furthermore, direct injection of TRIM21 small interfering RNA (siRNA) into U87 cell-derived tumors (in vivo treatment with siRNA) is proved to inhibit tumor growth in nude mice. Conclusion: This work suggests that TRIM21/TIF1γ/β-catenin axis is involved in the progression of human GBM. TRIM21 is a promising therapeutic and prognostic biomarker for glioma with hyperactive β-catenin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evidence of oral microbiota perturbations has been accumulated for lung cancers. This review focused on the oral microbiota alterations in population suffering from lung cancer. In addition, we also discussed conflicting data about the association between oral microbiota dysbiosis and risk of lung cancer. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases. The studies evaluated diversity and abundance of oral microbes in healthy and lung cancer individuals as well as association of periodontal disease and pathogens with lung cancer. Of 3559 studies, 28 included studies were performed in qualitative analysis, and 25 studies were used in meta-analyses for quantitative assessment. Heterogeneity was analyzed by using I² and chi-squared Q test statistics. Statistical analyses were performed by using the RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS Compared with the control, lung cancer patients had lower alpha diversity (Shannon: SMD = -0.54; 95% CI, -0.90 to -0.19; P < .01, I2 = 71%). In nested case-control studies, individuals with decreased alpha diversity tended to have an increased risk of lung cancer (observed species: HR = 0.90; 95% CI, 0.85-0.96; P < .01, I2 = 0%; Shannon: HR = 0.89; 95% CI, 0.83-0.95; P < .01, I2 = 0%). Overall, no strong evidence of association of relative abundance with specific oral microbes with lung cancers was found because of inconsistent data. No associations were found between periodontal pathogens and lung cancer risk (red complex: HR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.42-3.02, P = .82, I2 = 62%; orange complex: HR =1.77, 95% CI: 0.78-3.98, P = .17, I2 = 36%), expect for Fusobacterium nucleatum (HR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.13-4.58, P = .02, I2 = 0%). The positive association of periodontal disease with lung cancer risk was found (HR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.25-2.00, P < .001, I2= 0%) with increase of periodontal diseases severity (HR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.57-3.66, P < .001, I2 = 0%). However, such association was not found in never-smoker participants (HR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.76-1.31, P = .37, I2= 7%). CONCLUSIONS Lower alpha diversity of oral microbiome may be associated with a greater risk of lung cancer and might serve as a predictive signal of lung cancer risk. There was no strong evidence of relative abundance of oral microbial taxa and periodontal pathogens in lung cancer patients. Fusobacterium nucleatum might be a potential microbial candidate of biomarkers in lung cancer. Periodontal disease may be positively associated with lung cancer risk by confounding of smoking, but not an independent risk factor.

Abstract
Neural oscillations subserve a broad range of speech processing and language comprehension functions. Using an electroencephalogram (EEG), we investigated the frequency-specific directed interactions between whole-brain regions while the participants processed Chinese sentences using different modality stimuli (i.e., auditory, visual, and audio-visual). The results indicate that low-frequency responses correspond to the process of information flow aggregation in primary sensory cortices in different modalities. Information flow dominated by high-frequency responses exhibited characteristics of bottom-up flow from left posterior temporal to left frontal regions. The network pattern of top-down information flowing out of the left frontal lobe was presented by the joint dominance of low- and high-frequency rhythms. Overall, our results suggest that the brain may be modality-independent when processing higher-order language information.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation of spinopelvic alignment according to Roussouly classification on the occurrence of adjacent segment disease (ASD) in the patients undergoing fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional study. Clinical data of 166 consecutive patients who had undergone lumbar fusion between January 2009 and January 2019 in the Affiliated Changzhou Second People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University were retrospectively reviewed. There were 59 males and 107 females, with an average age of (58.6±9.5) years (ranged 41-78 years). Fusion length averagely spanned (1.7±0.7) levels (ranged 1-3 levels). The patients were classified by both "theoretical" (based on pelvic incidence (PI)) and "current"(based on sacral slope (SS)) Roussouly types. The patients were classified as "matched" if their "current" shape matched the "theoretical" type and otherwise as "unmatched". Multivariate logistic regression analysis of the variables recruited from univariate analyses was performed to identify the factors independently associated with the development of ASD after lumbar fusion. Results: The average follow-up duration after initial surgery was (49.2±20.7) months (ranged 25 to 134 months). Thirty (18.1%, 30/166) patients were diagnosed as ASD. Postoperatively, two thirds of the patients who suffered ASD after surgery were unmatched, while 36.8% (50/136) of the patients without ASD had unmatched type. Univariate analyses showed that older age, more fusion levels, float fusion, pre-and postoperative worse spinopelvic alignment, and postoperative unmatched Roussouly type were identified as risk factors of ASD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified postoperative Roussouly type mismatch (OR=3.310, 95%CI: 1.282-8.545, P=0.013), old age (OR=1.074, 95%CI: 1.019-1.131, P=0.008) and postoperative SS (OR=0.928, 95%CI: 0.865-0.995, P=0.036) as the independent risk factors of development of ASD after lumbar fusion. Conclusion: A significant association between postoperative sagittal malalignment and occurrence of ASD is detected, the evaluation of sagittal alignment by Roussouly classification could help predict the occurrence of ASD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of bone mineral density (BMD) in predicting postoperative efficacy in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to analyze the influencing factors of short-term outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical data, including general data, perioperative indicators, and postoperative follow-up information, were collected from patients undergoing THA from July 2018 to June 2020 at Jiangsu Taizhou People's Hospital for retrospective analysis. Using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) at 12 months after THA as the therapeutic effect evaluation index, the BMD levels of patients with different therapeutic effects were compared, and the correlation of BMD with therapeutic efficacy was analyzed. Furthermore, the influencing factors of postoperative efficacy were discussed by using a logistic regression model. RESULTS The HHS scores of 194 patients undergoing THA improved markedly at postoperative month 12 compared with the preoperative values (p<0.05), with a treatment excellent and good rate of 79.90% (155/194). The BMD level varied greatly among patients with different curative effects (p<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis identified a significant positive correlation between BMD values and HHS scores in patients undergoing THA. THA patients with different body mass index (BMI), surgical approach, occult blood loss, postoperative complications, length change of the affected limb, postoperative exercise time, and BMD had statistically significant differences in the excellent and good rate of clinical efficacy (p<0.05). According to the multivariate Logistic regression analysis, BMI, surgical approach, length change of the affected limb, and BMD were independent factors influencing the postoperative excellent and good rate of efficacy in THA patients (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative BMD levels are strongly correlated with postoperative efficacy improvement in patients undergoing THA. BMD is an independent influencing factor of excellent and good postoperative efficacy in patients undergoing THA, and increasing the BMD is conducive to improving outcomes in such patients.

Abstract
We previously reported that microRNA (miR)23a and miR30b are selectively sorted into exosomes derived from rickettsia-infected endothelial cells (R-ECExos). Yet, the mechanism remains unknown. Cases of spotted fever rickettsioses have been increasing, and infections with these bacteria cause life-threatening diseases by targeting brain and lung tissues. Therefore, the goal of the present study is to further dissect the molecular mechanism underlying R-ECExos-induced barrier dysfunction of normal recipient microvascular endothelial cells (MECs), depending on their exosomal RNA cargos. Infected ticks transmit the rickettsiae to human hosts following a bite and injections of the bacteria into the skin. In the present study, we demonstrate that treatment with R-ECExos, which were derived from spotted fever group R parkeri infected human dermal MECs, induced disruptions of the paracellular adherens junctional protein VE-cadherin, and breached the paracellular barrier function in recipient pulmonary MECs (PMECs) in an exosomal RNA-dependent manner. We did not detect different levels of miRs in parent dermal MECs following rickettsial infections. However, we demonstrated that the microvasculopathy-relevant miR23a-27a-24 cluster and miR30b are selectively enriched in R-ECExos. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that common sequence motifs are shared exclusively among the exosomal, selectively-enriched miR23a cluster and miR30b at different levels. Taken together, these data warrant further functional identification and characterization of a monopartition, bipartition, or tripartition among ACA, UCA, and CAG motifs that guide recognition of microvasculopathy-relevant miR23a-27a-24 and miR30b, and subsequently results in their selective enrichments in R-ECExos.

Abstract
In the design of effective gelators with aggregation-induced emission behavior, amide and cholesterol moieties are generally used to provide multiple driving forces for gelation. In this work, a series of linear cyanostilbene gelators with a pyridine moiety and different lengths of the alkoxyl group, i.e., CSpy-Cn, have been synthesized through nucleophilic substitution and Knoevenagel reaction. The direct connection of pyridine extends the conjugation of the cyanostilbene moiety, while the alkoxyl group can regulate the solubility of the compounds so that the compounds can serve as gelators for common solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethanol at ultra-low concentrations. At the same time, the cyanostilbene group makes the compounds undergo photoisomerization and emit fluorescence under UV light, while the pyridine group can serve as an acid-base responsive group due to easy protonation. The gels can respond to temperature, light, and organic acid/base. The fluorescence intensity and color can reversibly change during the gel-sol transitions. Finally, a thin film based on the CSpy-C8 xerogel has been prepared and utilized as a multi-stimuli-responsive fluorescence display for information storage and anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common complication after cardiac surgery; it is associated with morbidity and mortality. We undertook this review to compare the effects of rhythm vs. rate control in this population. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL to March 2023. We included randomized trials and observational studies comparing rhythm to rate control in cardiac surgery patients with POAF. We used a random-effects model to meta-analyze data and rated the quality of evidence using GRADE. RESULTS From 8,110 citations, we identified 8 randomized trials (990 patients). Drug regimens used for rhythm control included amiodarone in four trials, other class III anti-arrhythmics in one trial, class I anti-arrhythmics in four trials and either a class I or III anti-arrhythmic in one trial. Rhythm control compared to rate control did not result in a significant difference in length of stay (mean difference -0.8 days; 95% CI -3.0 to +1.4, I2 = 97%), AF recurrence within 1 week (130 events; risk ratio [RR] 1.1; 95%CI 0.6-1.9, I2 = 54%), AF recurrence up to 1 month (37 events; RR 0.9; 95%CI 0.5-1.8, I2 = 0%), AF recurrence up to 3 months (10 events; RR 1.0; 95%CI 0.3-3.4, I2 = 0%) or mortality (25 events; RR 1.6; 95%CI 0.7-3.5, I2 = 0%). Effect measures from seven observational studies (1428 patients) did not differ appreciably from those in randomized trials. CONCLUSIONS Although atrial fibrillation is common after cardiac surgery, limited low-quality data guide its management. Limited available evidence suggests no clear advantage to either rhythm or rate control. A large-scale randomized trial is needed to inform this important clinical question.

Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a valuable medicinal plant and an essential source of natural sweetener, steviol glycosides (SGs), with rebaudioside A (RA) being one of the main components of SGs. bHLH transcription factors play a crucial role in plant development and secondary metabolism. In this study, 159 SrbHLH genes were identified from the S. rebaudiana genome, and each gene was named based on its chromosome location. The SrbHLH proteins were then clustered into 18 subfamilies through phylogenetic analysis. The analysis of conserved motifs and gene structure further supported the classification of the SrbHLH family. Chromosomal location and gene duplication events of SrbHLH genes were also studied. Moreover, based on the RNA-Seq data of different tissues of S. rebaudiana, 28 SrbHLHs were co-expressed with structural genes involved in RA biosynthesis. The expression pattern of candidate SrbHLH genes were confirmed by qPCR. Finally, dual luciferase reporter assays (DLAs) and subcellular localization analysis verified SrbHLH22, SrbHLH111, SrbHLH126, SrbHLH142, and SrbHLH152 are critical regulators of RA biosynthesis. This study provides new insights into the function of SrbHLHs in regulating SGs biosynthesis and lays the foundation for future applications of SrbHLH genes in molecular breeding of S. rebaudiana.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although ileal faecal diversion is commonly used in clinical settings, complications accompany it. Elucidating the intestinal changes caused by ileal faecal diversion will help resolve postoperative complications and elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of associated intestinal disorders, such as Crohn's disease (CD). Therefore, our study aimed to provide new insights into the effects of ileal faecal diversion on the intestine and the potential mechanisms. METHODS Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on proximal functional and paired distal defunctioned intestinal mucosae from three patients with ileal faecal diversion. We also performed in vitro cellular and animal experiments, tissue staining and analysed public datasets to validate our findings. RESULTS We found that the epithelium in the defunctioned intestine tended to be immature, with defective mechanical and mucous barriers. However, the innate immune barrier in the defunctioned intestine was enhanced. Focusing on the changes in goblet cells, we demonstrated that mechanical stimulation promotes the differentiation and maturation of goblet cells through the TRPA1-ERK pathway, indicating that the absence of mechanical stimulation may be the main cause of defects in the goblet cells of the defunctioned intestine. Furthermore, we found obvious fibrosis with a pro-fibrotic microenvironment in the defunctioned intestine and identified that monocytes may be important targets for faecal diversion to alleviate CD. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed the different transcription landscapes of various cell subsets and the potential underlying mechanisms within the defunctioned intestine, when compared to the functional intestine, based on the background of ileal faecal diversion. These findings provide novel insights for understanding the physiological and pathological roles of the faecal stream in the intestine.

Abstract
Background Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) exhibits high fatality rates, and effective treatments are lacking. The expression of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulatory protein ALKBH5 is associated with lung cancer. To identify new therapeutic targets for LUAD, we screened target genes of ALKBH5 and analyzed their potential mechanisms of action. Methods LUAD samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used to analyze the expression of ALKBH5 and screen for genes with correlated expression. Intersection of the genes upregulated in cells with ALKBH5 silencing with the genes significantly associated with ALKBH5 were defined as ALKBH5 target genes. STRING was used to evaluate interactions between the target genes, and the relationship between ALKBH5 target gene expression and LUAD patient prognosis was analyzed using the R package Survminer. Target genes were evaluated by functional enrichment analyses. Results ALKBH5 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues and was significantly associated with a poor prognosis. Fifteen ALKBH5 target genes were identified, primarily enriched in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, transcriptional coregulator activity, and cell activation involved in the immune response. Upregulation of ZNF777, TCOF1, CPLX2, and ABL1 was associated with a poor prognosis, whereas upregulation of ZER1, VPS53, and RRBP1 was associated with a good prognosis. Conclusions This study provides potential therapeutic targets for LUAD and a basis for further studies on the mechanism underlying the effects of ALKBH5.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) results between patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and to analyze the influence of congenital spinal deformity on IONM in AMC patients, thus to evaluate the efficiency of IONM in AMC patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study. The clinical data of 19 AMC patients underwent correction surgery from July 2013 to January 2022 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. There were 13 males and 6 females with a mean age of (15.2±5.6) years, and the average Cobb angle of main curve was 60.8°±27.7°. And 57 female AIS patients of similar age and curve type with the AMC patients during the same period were selected as the control group, with an average age of (14.6±4.4) years and a mean Cobb angle of 55.2°±14.2°. The latency and amplitude of samatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and transcranial electric motor evoked potentials (TCeMEPs) were compared between the two groups. The difference in IONM data between AMC patients with and without congenital spinal deformity was also evaluated. Results: The success rates of SSEPs and TCeMEPs were 100% and 14/19 for AMC patients, 100% and 100% for AIS patients. The SSEPs-P40 latency, SSEPs-N50 latency, SSEPs-amplitude, TCeMEPs-latency, TCeMEPs-amplitude showed no significant difference between AMC patients and AIS patients (P>0.05 for all). The side-difference of TCeMEPs-amplitude showed an increasing trend in AMC patients when compared with that in AIS patients, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups [(147.0±185.6) μV vs (68.1±311.4) μV, P=0.198]. The SSEPs-amplitude value was (1.4±1.1) μV on concave side in AMC patients with congenital spinal deformity, and it was (2.6±1.2) μV on concave side in AMC patients without congenital spinal deformity (P=0.041). The SSEPs-amplitude value was (1.4±0.8) μV on convex side in AMC patients with congenital spinal deformity, and it was (2.6±1.3) μV on convex side in AMC patients without congenital spinal deformity (P=0.028). Conclusions: The values of SSEPs-P40 latency, SSEPs-N50 latency, SSEPs-amplitude, TCeMEPs-latency and TCeMEPs-amplitude are similar in AMC and AIS patients. The SSEPs-amplitude of AMC patients with congenital spinal deformity is lower than that of AMC patients without congenital spinal deformity.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease with unclear etiology and a poor prognosis. Although the involvement of neutrophils in IPF pathogenesis has been suggested, the exact nature of this relationship remains unclear. Methods We analyzed data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) using immune infiltration analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and consensus cluster analysis. Neutrophil-related genes and hub genes related to neutrophils were identified and differentially expressed between IPF patients and healthy controls. We also validated the expression differences of hub genes in a bleomycin-induced mice model. Results Immune infiltration analysis revealed a significantly decreased percentage of neutrophils in the lung tissue of IPF patients compared with healthy controls (P<0.001) in both the train and validation sets. Neutrophil-related genes in IPF were identified by WGCNA, and functional enrichment analysis showed that these genes were mainly involved in the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway and correlated with lung disease, consistent with DEGs between IPF and healthy controls. Eight hub genes related to neutrophils were identified, including MMP16, ARG1, IL1R2, PROK2, MS4A2, PIR, and ZNF436. Consensus cluster analysis revealed a low neutrophil-infiltrating cluster that was correlated with IPF (P<0.001), and a principal component analysis-generated score could distinguish IPF patients from healthy controls, with an area under the curve of 0.930 in the train set and 0.768 in the validation set. We also constructed a diagnostic model using hub genes related to neutrophils, which showed a reliable diagnostic value with an area under the curve of 0.955 in the train set and 0.995 in the validation set. Conclusion Our findings provide evidence of a low neutrophil-infiltrating characteristic in the IPF microenvironment and identify hub genes related to neutrophils that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers for the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To screen for differentially expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the serum of preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and explore the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism of circRNAs in IVH in these infants. METHODS Fifty preterm infants (gestational age of 28 to 34 weeks) admitted in our department between January, 2019 and January, 2020 were enrolled in this study, including 25 with a MRI diagnosis of IVH and 25 without IVH. Serum samples were collected from 3 randomly selected infants from each group for profiling differentially expressed circRNAs using circRNA array technique. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway analyses were performed to reveal the function of the identified circRNAs. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed to identify the co-expression network of hsa_circ_ 0087893. RESULTS A total of 121 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified in the infants with IVH, including 62 up-regulated and 59 down-regulated circRNAs. GO and pathway analyses showed that these circRNAs were involved in multiple biological processes and pathways, including cell proliferation, activation and death, DNA damage and repair, retinol metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, cell adhesion molecules. Among these circRNAs, hsa_circ_0087893 was found to have significant down-regulation in IVH group and co-express with 41 miRNAs and 15 mRNAs (such as miR-214-3p, miR-761, miR-183-5p, AKR1B1, KRT34, PPP2CB, and HPRT1). CONCLUSION The circRNA hsa_circ_0087893 may function as a ceRNA and play an important role in the occurrence and progression of IVH in preterm infants.

Abstract
Talaromycosis (TSM) is an opportunistic deep mycosis prevalent in southeast Asia and southern China, affecting HIV-positive, anti-interferon-gamma autoantibody-positive and other immunodeficiency hosts. These hosts are often co-infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis, non-tuberculosis mycobacteria, bacteria, fungi, viruses and other opportunistic infections. The clinical characteristics and the pathogenic spectrum of TSM with opportunistic infections vary with different immune states. The rates of misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis and mortality are high. This review summarized the clinical characteristics of TSM with opportunistic infections in order to improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang is a famous traditional Chinese medicine formula that has been prevalent in China for over 700 years to treat spleen-qi deficiency related diseases, such as gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. However, the bioactive components responsible for regulating spleen-qi deficiency remain unclear and have puzzled many researchers. AIM OF THE STUDY The current study focuses on efficacy evaluation of regulating spleen-qi deficiency and screening the bioactive components of Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang were evaluated through blood routine examination, immune organ index, and biochemical analysis. Metabolomics was utilized to analyze the potential endogenous biomarkers (endobiotics) in the plasma, and the prototypes (xenobiotics) of Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang in the bio-samples were characterized using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. Then, these endobiotics were used as "bait" to predict targets based on network pharmacology and to screen potential bioactive components from the absorbed prototypes in the plasma by constructing an "endobiotics-targets-xenobiotics" association network. Further, the anti-inflammatory activities of representative compounds (calycosin and nobiletin) were validated through poly(I:C)-induced pulmonary inflammation mice model. RESULTS Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang exhibited immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities in spleen-qi deficiency rat, as supported by the observation of increased levels of D-xylose and gastrin in serum, an increase in the thymus index and number of lymphocytes in blood, as well as a reduction in the level of IL-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Furthermore, plasma metabolomic analysis revealed a total of 36 Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang related endobiotics, which were mainly enriched in primary bile acids biosynthesis, the metabolism of linoleic acid, and the metabolism of phenylalanine pathways. Meanwhile, 95 xenobiotics were characterized in plasma, urine, small intestinal contents, and tissues of spleen-qi deficiency rat after Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang treatment. Using an integrated association network, six potential bioactive components of Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang were screened. Among them, calycosin was found to significantly reduce the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, increase the number of lymphocytes, while nobiletin dramatically decreased the levels of CXCL10, TNF-α, GM-CSF, and IL-6. CONCLUSION Our study proposed an available strategy for screening bioactive components of BYZQT regulating spleen-qi deficiency based on "endobiotics-targets-xenobiotics" association network.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes and molecular genetics of fibroma of tendon sheath (FTS). Methods: One hundred and thirty-four cases of FTS or tenosynovial fibroma diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China from January 2008 to April 2019 were selected. The clinical and histologic features of these cases were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed on the above cases. Results: There were a total of 134 cases of FTS, including 67 males and 67 females. The patients' median age was 38 years (ranged from 2 to 85 years). The median tumor size was 1.8 cm (ranged from 0.1 to 6.8 cm). The most common site was the upper extremity (76/134, 57%). Follow-up data was available in 28 cases and there was no detectable recurrence. Classic FTS (114 cases) were well-defined and hypocellular. A few spindle-shaped fibroblasts were scattered in the dense collagenous sclerotic stroma. Characteristically elongated slit-like spaces or thin-walled vessels were observed. Most of cellular FTSs (20 cases) were well-defined and the area with increased cellularity of the spindle cells coexisted with classic FTS. There were occasional mitotic figures, but no atypical mitotic figures. Immunohistochemistry was performed in 8 cases of classic FTS and most cases were positive for SMA (5/8). Immunohistochemistry was also performed in 13 cases of cellular FTS and showed 100% positive rate for SMA. FISH was conducted on 20 cases of cellular FTS and 32 cases of classical FTS. USP6 gene rearrangement was found in 11/20 of cellular FTS. Among 12 cases of CFTS with nodular fasciitis (NF)-like morphological feature, 7 cases showed USP6 gene rearrangement. The rearrangement proportion of USP6 gene in cellular FTS without NF-like morphological features was 4/8. By contrast, 3% (1/32) of the classic FTS showed USP6 gene rearrangement. RT-PCR was performed in those cases with detected USP6 gene rearrangement and sufficient tissue samples for RT-PCR. The MYH9-USP6 fusion gene was detected in 1 case (1/8) of the cellular FTSs, while no target fusion partner was detected in the classic FTS. Conclusions: FTS is a relatively rare benign fibroblastic or myofibroblastic tumor. Our study and recent literature find that some of the classic FTS also show USP6 gene rearrangements, suggesting that classical FTS and cellular FTS are likely to be at different stages of the same disease (spectrum). FISH for USP6 gene rearrangement may be used as an important auxiliary diagnostic tool in distinguishing FTS from other tumors.

Abstract
Background Blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown is a component of the progression and pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). BBB dysfunction is primarily caused by reduced or disorganized tight junction or adherens junction proteins of brain microvascular endothelial cell (BMEC). While there is growing evidence of tight junction disruption in BMECs in AD, the functional role of adherens junctions during BBB dysfunction in AD remains unknown. Exosomes secreted from senescent cells have unique characteristics and contribute to modulating the phenotype of recipient cells. However, it remains unknown if and how these exosomes cause BMEC dysfunction in AD. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the potential roles of AD circulating exosomes and their RNA cargos in brain endothelial dysfunction in AD. Methods We isolated exosomes from sera of five cases of AD compared with age- and sex-matched cognitively normal controls using size-exclusion chromatography technology. We validated the qualities and particle sizes of isolated exosomes with nanoparticle tracking analysis and atomic force microscopy. We measured the biomechanical natures of the endothelial barrier of BMECs, the lateral binding forces between live BMECs, using fluidic force miscopy. We visualized the paracellular expressions of the key adherens junction protein VE-cadherin in BMEC cultures and a 3D BBB model that employs primary human BMECs and pericytes with immunostaining and evaluated them using confocal microscopy. We also examined the VE-cadherin signal in brain tissues from five cases of AD and five age- and sex-matched cognitively normal controls. Results We found that circulating exosomes from AD patients suppress the paracellular expression levels of VE-cadherin and impair the barrier function of recipient BMECs. Immunostaining analysis showed that AD circulating exosomes damage VE-cadherin integrity in a 3D model of microvascular tubule formation. We found that circulating exosomes in AD weaken the BBB depending on the RNA cargos. In parallel, we observed that microvascular VE-cadherin expression is diminished in AD brains compared to normal controls. Conclusion Using in vitro and ex vivo models, our study illustrates that circulating exosomes from AD patients play a significant role in mediating the damage effect on adherens junction of recipient BMEC of the BBB in an exosomal RNA-dependent manner. This suggests a novel mechanism of peripheral senescent exosomes for AD risk.

Abstract
Since the discovery of graphene, research on the family of 2D materials has been a thriving field. Metal phosphorous chalcogenides (MPX3 ) have attracted renewed attention due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. The advantages of MPX3 , such as tunable layered structures, unique electronic properties, thermodynamically appropriate band alignments and abundant catalytic active sites on the surface, make MPX3 material great potential in electrocatalysis. In this review, the applications of MPX3 electrocatalysts in recent years, including hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and oxygen reduction reaction, are summarized. Structural regulation, chemical doping and multi-material composite that are often effective and practical research methods to further optimize the catalytic properties of these materials, are introduced. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for electrocatalytic applications of MPX3 materials are discussed. This report aims to advance future efforts to develop MPX3 and related materials for electrocatalysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of infections among cancer patients is as high as 23.2-33.2% in China. However, the lack of information and data on the number of antibiotics used by cancer patients is an obstacle to implementing antibiotic management plans. AIM This study aimed to investigate bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance in Chinese cancer patients to provide a reference for the rational use of antibiotics. DESIGN This was a 5-year retrospective study on the antibiotic resistance of cancer patients. METHODS In this 5-year surveillance study, we collected bacterial and antibiotic resistance data from 20 provincial cancer diagnosis and treatment centers and three specialized cancer hospitals in China. We analyzed the resistance of common bacteria to antibiotics, compared to common clinical drug-resistant bacteria, evaluated the evolution of critical drug-resistant bacteria and conducted data analysis. FINDINGS Between 2016 and 2020, 216 219 bacterial strains were clinically isolated. The resistance trend of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, piperacillin/tazobactam and imipenem was relatively stable and did not significantly increase over time. The resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to all antibiotics tested, including imipenem and meropenem, decreased over time. In contrast, the resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii strains to carbapenems increased from 4.7% to 14.7%. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) significantly decreased from 65.2% in 2016 to 48.9% in 2020. CONCLUSIONS The bacterial prevalence and antibiotic resistance rates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, S. aureus and MRSA were significantly lower than the national average.

Abstract
Objective: To estimate the latent period and incubation period of Omicron variant infections and analyze associated factors. Methods: From January 1 to June 30, 2022, 467 infected persons and 335 confirmed cases in five local Omicron variant outbreaks in China were selected as the study subjects. The latent period and incubation period were estimated by using log-normal distribution and gamma distribution models, and the associated factors were analyzed by using the accelerated failure time model (AFT). Results: The median (Q1, Q3) age of 467 Omicron infections including 253 males (54.18%) was 26 (20, 39) years old. There were 132 asymptomatic infections (28.27%) and 335 (71.73%) symptomatic infections. The mean latent period of 467 Omicron infections was 2.65 (95%CI: 2.53-2.78) days, and 98% of infections were positive for nucleic acid detection within 6.37 (95%CI: 5.86-6.82) days after infection. The mean incubation period of 335 symptomatic infections was 3.40 (95%CI: 3.25-3.57) days, and 97% of them developed clinical symptoms within 6.80 (95%CI: 6.34-7.22) days after infection. The results of the AFT model analysis showed that compared with the group aged 18~49 years old, the latent period [exp(β)=1.36 (95%CI: 1.16-1.60), P<0.001] and incubation period [exp(β)=1.24 (95%CI: 1.07-1.45), P=0.006] of infections aged 0~17 year old were also prolonged. The latent period [exp(β)=1.38 (95%CI: 1.17-1.63), P<0.001] and the incubation period [exp(β)=1.26 (95%CI: 1.06-1.48), P=0.007] of infections aged 50 years old and above were also prolonged. Conclusion: The latent period and incubation period of most Omicron infections are within 7 days, and age may be the influencing factor of the latent period and incubation period.

Abstract
We report the single-crystal growth of Mn2V2O7and the results of magnetic susceptibility, high-field magnetization up to 55 T and high-frequency electric spin resonance (ESR) measurements for its low-temperatureαphase. Two antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at 17.5 K and 3 K and obvious magnetic anisotropy are observed inα-Mn2V2O7upon cooling. In pulsed high magnetic fields, the compound reaches the saturation magnetic moment of ∼10.5μBfor each molecular formula at around 45 T after two undergoing AFM phase transitions atHc1≈ 16 T,Hc2≈ 34.5 T forH//[11-0] andHsf1= 2.5 T,Hsf2= 7 T forH//[001]. In these two directions, two and seven resonance modes are detected by ESR spectroscopy, respectively. Theω1andω2modes ofH//[11-0] can be well described by two-sublattice AFM resonance mode with two zero-field gaps at 94.51 GHz and 169.28 GHz, indicating a hard-axis feature. The seven modes forH//[001] are partially separated by the critical fields ofHsf1andHsf2, displaying the two signs of spin-flop transition. The fittings ofωc1andωc2modes yield zero-field gaps at 69.50 GHz and 84.73 GHz forH//[001], confirming the axis-type anisotropy. The saturated moment and gyromagnetic ratio indicate the Mn2+ion inα-Mn2V2O7is in a high spin state with orbital moment completely quenched. A quasi-one-dimensional magnetism with a zig-zag-chain spin configuration is suggested inα-Mn2V2O7, due to the special neighbor interactions caused by a distorted network structure with honeycomb layer.

Abstract
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are important materials for flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs). However, the loose stacking of nanowire junctions greatly affects the electric conductivity across adjacent nanowires. Soldering can effectively reduce the wire-wire contact resistance of AgNWs by epitaxially depositing nanosolders at the junctions, but the process normally needs to be performed with high energy consumption. In this work, we proposed a simple room-temperature method to achieve precise welding of junctions by adjusting the wettability of the soldered precursor solution on the surfaces of AgNWs. The nanoscale welding at nanowire cross junctions forms efficient conductive networks. Furthermore, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used to improve the stability of FTEs by wrapping the rGO around the AgNW surface. The obtained FTE shows a figure-of-merit (FoM) of up to 439.3 (6.5 Ω/sq at a transmittance of 88%) and has significant bending stability and environmental and acidic stability. A flexible transparent heater was successfully constructed, which could reach up to 160 °C within a short response time (43 s) and exhibit excellent switching stability. When laminating this FTE onto half perovskite solar cells as the top electrodes, the obtained double-side devices achieved power conversion efficiencies as high as 16.15% and 13.91% from each side, pointing out a convenient method for fabricating double-sided photovoltaic devices.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing globally. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in adults with T2D; however, the global burden of DR in pediatric T2D is unknown. This knowledge can inform retinopathy screening and treatments to preserve vision in this population. OBJECTIVE To estimate the global prevalence of DR in pediatric T2D. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), the Cochrane Library, the Web of Science, and the gray literature (ie, literature containing information that is not available through traditional publishing and distribution channels) were searched for relevant records from the date of database inception to April 4, 2021, with updated searches conducted on May 17, 2022. Searches were limited to human studies. No language restrictions were applied. Search terms included diabetic retinopathy; diabetes mellitus, type 2; prevalence studies; and child, adolescent, teenage, youth, and pediatric. STUDY SELECTION Three teams, each with 2 reviewers, independently screened for observational studies with 10 or more participants that reported the prevalence of DR. Among 1989 screened articles, 27 studies met the inclusion criteria for the pooled analysis. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Two independent reviewers performed the risk of bias and level of evidence analyses. The results were pooled using a random-effects model, and heterogeneity was reported using χ2 and I2 statistics. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The main outcome was the estimated pooled global prevalence of DR in pediatric T2D. Other outcomes included DR severity and current DR assessment methods. The association of diabetes duration, sex, race, age, and obesity with DR prevalence was also assessed. RESULTS Among the 27 studies included in the pooled analysis (5924 unique patients; age range at T2D diagnosis, 6.5-21.0 years), the global prevalence of DR in pediatric T2D was 6.99% (95% CI, 3.75%-11.00%; I2 = 95%; 615 patients). Fundoscopy was less sensitive than 7-field stereoscopic fundus photography in detecting retinopathy (0.47% [95% CI, 0%-3.30%; I2 = 0%] vs 13.55% [95% CI, 5.43%-24.29%; I2 = 92%]). The prevalence of DR increased over time and was 1.11% (95% CI, 0.04%-3.06%; I2 = 5%) at less than 2.5 years after T2D diagnosis, 9.04% (95% CI, 2.24%-19.55%; I2 = 88%) at 2.5 to 5.0 years after T2D diagnosis, and 28.14% (95% CI, 12.84%-46.45%; I2 = 96%) at more than 5 years after T2D diagnosis. The prevalence of DR increased with age, and no differences were noted based on sex, race, or obesity. Heterogeneity was high among studies. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, DR prevalence in pediatric T2D increased significantly at more than 5 years after diagnosis. These findings suggest that retinal microvasculature is an early target of T2D in children and adolescents, and annual screening with fundus photography beginning at diagnosis offers the best assessment method for early detection of DR in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the association of greenness exposure with waist circumference (WC) and central obesity in older adults in China. Methods: Based on the cross-sectional data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey in 2017-2018, 14 056 participants aged 65 years and over were included. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle, WC, and other information were collected through a questionnaire and physical examination. Based on the satellite monitoring data of moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) provided by NASA, the annual mean of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) within a radius of 1 000 meters was obtained as the measurement value of greenness exposure. Multivariate linear regression model, multivariate logistic regression model, and restricted cubic splines (RCS) model were used to analyze the association and dose-response relationship between greenness exposure and WC and central obesity in older adults in China. Results: A total of 14 056 participants were enrolled with a median age of 84.0 years [IQR: 75.0-94.0 years]. About 45.0% (6 330) of them were male and 48.6% (5 853) were illiterate. There were 10 964 (78.0%) participants from rural. The mean of WC was (84.4±10.8) cm. Central obesity accounted for 60.2% (8 465), and the NDVI range was (-0.06, 0.78). After adjusting for confounding factors, the multivariate linear regression model showed that the change value of WC in the urban group [β (95%CI):-0.49 (-0.93, -0.06)] was smaller than that in the rural [-0.78 (-0.98, -0.58)] for every 0.1 unit increase in NDVI (Pinteraction=0.022). Compared with the Q1 group in NDVI, WC of Q2 and Q3 groups in rural decreased, and the β (95%CI) values were-1.74 (-2.5, -0.98) and-2.78 (-3.55, -2.00), respectively. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of central obesity decreased for urban and rural older adults with an increase of 0.1 unit in NDVI, and the OR (95%CI) values were 0.87 (0.80, 0.95) and 0.86 (0.82, 0.89), respectively (Pinteraction=0.284). Compared with the Q1 group in NDVI, the risk of central obesity in the Q2 and Q3 groups in rural was lower, and the OR (95%CI) values were 0.68 (0.58, 0.80) and 0.57 (0.49, 0.68), respectively. The results of the multivariate regression model with RCS showed that there was a non-linear association of NDVI with WC (Pnonlinear=0.006) and central obesity (Pnonlinear=0.025). Conclusion: Greenness exposure is negatively associated with WC and central obesity in older adults in China.

Abstract
Objective To systematically evaluate the disinfection efficacy of the two most frequently used disinfectants, sodium hypochlorite and glutaraldehyde, and their effects on the surface properties of four different dental impression materials. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in four databases until May 1st, 2022 to select the studies which evaluated disinfection efficacy of disinfectants or surface properties of dental impressions after chemical disinfection. Main results A total of 50 studies were included through electronic database searches. Of these studies, 13 studies evaluated disinfection efficacy of two disinfectants, and 39 studies evaluated their effects on the surface properties of dental impressions. A 10-minute disinfection with 0.5-1% sodium hypochlorite or 2% glutaraldehyde was effective to inactivate oral flora and common oral pathogenic bacteria. With regard to surface properties, chemical disinfection within 30 min could not alter the dimensional stability, detail reproduction and wettability of alginate and polyether impressions. However, the wettability of addition silicone impressions and the dimensional stability of condensation silicone impressions were adversely affected after chemical disinfection, while other surface properties of these two dental impressions were out of significant influence. Conclusions Alginate impressions are strongly recommended to be disinfected with 0.5% sodium hypochlorite using spray disinfection method for 10 min. Meanwhile, elastomeric impressions are strongly recommended to be disinfected with 0.5% sodium hypochlorite or 2% glutaraldehyde using immersion disinfection method for 10 min, however, polyether impression should be disinfected with 2% glutaraldehyde.

Abstract
Perimenopause is a natural transition to menopause, when hormone disturbance can result in both short-term mental disorders, such as anxiety, and long-term neuroinflammation due to blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment, which may lead to more serious neurological disorders later on, such as dementia. Effective treatments may prevent both short-term and long-term neurological sequela, which formed the aim of this study. In aged female C57BL/6 mice (16-18 months of age), mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), were administered via tail vein injection. Mice showed increased blood estrogen levels, alleviated anxiety and neuroinflammation, and improved BBB integrity. Interestingly, transplanted MSCs were located close to ovarian sympathetic nerves and decreased ovarian norepinephrine levels, which in turn increased ovarian estrogen secretion. Moreover, the administration of anastrozole, an inhibitor of estrogen synthesis, diminished the therapeutic effects of MSCs in vivo, suggesting the effect to be estrogen-dependent. In vitro study confirmed the impact of MSCs on sympathetic nerves via mitochondria exchange. In conclusion, iPSC-derived MSCs may provide a novel option to manage perimenopause-related hormonal dysregulation and neurological disorders during the female aging process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive fibrotic lung disease with poor prognosis and few treatment options. Dapper homolog 2 (DACT2), a member of the DACT gene family, plays crucial roles in tissue development and injury. However, its functions and molecular mechanisms in IPF remain largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the role of DACT2 in the development of pulmonary fibrosis and the therapeutic potential of targeting DACT2 related signaling pathways. METHODS In our study, adeno-associated virus serotype 6 (AAV6)-mediated DACT2 overexpression was assessed in several mice models of experimental pulmonary fibrosis in vivo. The role of DACT2 in lung myofibroblast differentiation was determined by DACT2 overexpression in vitro. The glucose uptake, extracellular acidification rate, intracellular adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) level and lactate levels of myofibroblasts were detected after DACT2 overexpression. The LDHA degradation rate and colocalization with lysosomes were monitored as well. RESULTS Intratracheal administration of AAV6-mediated DACT2 overexpression apparently attenuated pulmonary fibrosis in experimental pulmonary fibrosis models. In vitro experiments revealed that DACT2 inhibited TGF-β-induced myofibroblast differentiation by promoting lysosome-mediated LDHA degradation and thus suppressing glycolysis in myofibroblasts. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our findings support for DACT2 as a novel pharmacological target for pulmonary fibrosis treatments.
