Abstract
Paclitaxel is a renowned broad-spectrum anticancer drug. With the establishment of a chromosome-level high-quality reference genome map of Taxus, recent research on paclitaxel biosynthesis has flourished. The oxetane ring is a distinctive chemical moiety of paclitaxel, and three recent studies have proposed different enzymes involved in its formation, reflecting divergent opinions on whether the pathway proceeds via acetylation followed by epoxidation or vice versa. Subsequently, researchers have elucidated gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of the key intermediate baccatin III. Despite varying reports, two studies successfully achieved heterologous biosynthesis of baccatin III by transient expression in tobacco. Taxadiene 5α-hydroxylase (T5αH), the first cytochrome P450 in the pathway, exhibited varied product profiles upon heterologous expression systems, contrasting with observations in native Taxus species, probably due to differences in partner proteins or cellular microenvironments. Further elucidation of biosynthesis mechanisms, including the reaction order and the promiscuity of key enzymes, is anticipated through collaborative efforts among botanists, chemists, and synthetic biologists.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) combined with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the treatment of varus knee osteoarthritis (OA) with ACL injury. Methods: A follow-up study. The study retrospectively analyzed the patients underwent MOWHTO combined with ACL reconstruction for treatment of varus knee OA with ACL injury in Tianjin Hospital between April 2018 and September 2022. The preoperative and postoperative posterior slope angle (PSA), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and Tegner score were compared. The follow-up indicators were recorded at 6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year after operation, and the complications were recorded. Results: The study included 32 patients (23 males, 9 females) with a mean age of (50.7±8.4) years. The mean follow-up time was (21.2±4.8) months. PSA increased from 9.2°±1.8° preoperatively to 11.1°±2.4° postoperatively, and HKA increased from 168.7°±2.2° to 181.5°±2.2° (both P<0.01). The indicators such as VAS score (6.8±1.1 vs 1.8±0.4), Lysholm score (52.6±7.1 vs 82.0±6.4), IKDC score (64.7±6.2 vs 80.3±10.0), WOMAC score (51.8±6.3 vs 81.8±6.5), and Tegner score (1.9±0.6 vs 5.0±1.0) were all improved after the operation (all P<0.01). Complications occurred in 5 patients (15.6%), including hematomas, sensory abnormalities, intermuscular vein thrombosis and correction angle loss. Conclusion: MOWHTO combined with ACL reconstruction is a safe and effective approach for the treatment of varus knee OA with ACL injury.

Abstract
Plant natural products (PNPs) are a diverse group of chemical compounds synthesized by plants for various biological purposes and play a significant role in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and industry. In recent years, the development of synthetic biology promises the production of PNPs in microbial expression systems in a sustainable, low-cost, and large-scale manner. This review first introduces multiplex genome editing and PNP pathway assembly in microbial expression systems. Then recent technologies and examples geared toward improving PNP biosynthetic efficiency are discussed from three aspects: pathway optimization, chassis optimization, and modular coculture engineering. Finally, the review is concluded with future perspectives on the combination of machine learning and BioFoundry for the reconstitution and optimization of PNP microbial cell factories.

Abstract
Peroxisomal compartmentalization has emerged as a highly promising strategy for reconstituting intricate metabolic pathways. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the peroxisomes through harnessing precursor pools, circumventing metabolic crosstalk, and minimizing the cytotoxicity of exogenous pathways. However, it is important to note that in methylotrophic yeasts (e.g. Pichia pastoris), the abundance and protein composition of peroxisomes are highly variable, particularly when peroxisome proliferation is induced by specific carbon sources. The intricate subcellular localization of native proteins, the variability of peroxisomal metabolic pathways, and the lack of systematic characterization of peroxisome targeting signals have limited the applications of peroxisomal compartmentalization in P. pastoris. Accordingly, this study established a high-throughput screening method based on β-carotene biosynthetic pathway to evaluate the targeting efficiency of PTS1s (Peroxisome Targeting Signal Type 1) in P. pastoris. First, 25 putative endogenous PTS1s were characterized and 3 PTS1s with high targeting efficiency were identified. Then, directed evolution of PTS1s was performed by constructing two PTS1 mutant libraries, and a total of 51 PTS1s (29 classical and 22 noncanonical PTS1s) with presumably higher peroxisomal targeting efficiency were identified, part of which were further characterized via confocal microscope. Finally, the newly identified PTS1s were employed for peroxisomal compartmentalization of the geraniol biosynthetic pathway, resulting in more than 30% increase in the titer of monoterpene compared with when the pathway was localized to the cytosol. The present study expands the synthetic biology toolkit and lays a solid foundation for peroxisomal compartmentalization in P. pastoris.

Abstract
Vinblastine has been used clinically as one of the most potent therapeutics for the treatment of several types of cancer. However, the traditional plant extraction method suffers from unreliable supply, low abundance, and extremely high cost. Here, we use synthetic biology approach to engineer Saccharomyces cerevisiae for de novo biosynthesis of vindoline and catharanthine, which can be coupled chemically or biologically to vinblastine. On the basis of a platform strain with sufficient supply of precursors and cofactors for biosynthesis, we reconstituted, debottlenecked, and optimized the biosynthetic pathways for the production of vindoline and catharanthine. The vindoline biosynthetic pathway represents one of the most complicated pathways ever reconstituted in microbial cell factories. Using shake flask fermentation, our engineered yeast strains were able to produce catharanthine and vindoline at a titer of 527.1 and 305.1 μg·liter-1, respectively, without accumulating detectable amount of pathway intermediates. This study establishes a representative example for the production of valuable plant natural products in yeast.

Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas system has been established as the most powerful and practical genome engineering tool for both fundamental researches and biotechnological applications. Great efforts have been devoted to engineering the CRISPR system with better performance and novel functions. As an essential component, single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) have been extensively designed and engineered with desirable functions. This review highlights representative studies that optimize the sgRNA nucleotide sequences for improved genome editing performance (e.g. activity and specificity) as well as add extra aptamers and end extensions for expanded CRISPR-based functional assays (e.g. transcriptional regulation, genome imaging, and prime editor). The perspectives for further sgRNA engineering to establish more powerful and versatile CRISPR/Cas systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Vindoline is a plant derived monoterpene indole alkaloid (MIA) with potential therapeutic applications and more importantly serves as the precursor to vinblastine and vincristine. To obtain a yeast strain for high yield production of vindoline from tabersonine, multiple metabolic engineering strategies were employed via the CRISPR/Cas9 mediated multiplex genome integration technology in the present study. Through increasing and tuning the copy numbers of the pathway genes, pairing cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) with appropriate cytochrome P450 reductases (CPRs), engineering the microenvironment for functional expression of CYPs, enhancing cofactor supply, and optimizing fermentation conditions, the production of vindoline was increased to a final titer as high as ∼16.5 mg/L, which is more than 3,800,000-fold higher than the parent strain and the highest tabersonine to vindoline conversion yield ever reported. This work represents a key step of the engineering efforts to establish de novo biosynthetic pathways for vindoline, vinblastine, and vincristine.

Abstract
Cleft palate is among the most common birth defects. Currently, only 30% of cases have identified genetic causes, whereas the etiology of the majority remains to be discovered. We identified a new regulator of palate development, protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1), and demonstrated that disruption of PRMT1 function in neural crest cells caused complete cleft palate and craniofacial malformations. PRMT1 is the most highly expressed of the protein arginine methyltransferases, enzymes responsible for methylation of arginine motifs on histone and nonhistone proteins. PRMT1 regulates signal transduction and transcriptional activity that affect multiple signal pathways crucial in craniofacial development, such as the BMP, TGFβ, and WNT pathways. We demonstrated that Wnt1-Cre;Prmt1 fl/fl mice displayed a decrease in palatal mesenchymal cell proliferation and failure of palatal shelves to reach the midline. Further analysis in signal pathways revealed that loss of Prmt1 in mutant mice decreased BMP signaling activation and reduced the deposition of H4R3me2a mark. Collectively, our study demonstrates that Prmt1 is crucial in palate development. Our study may facilitate the development of a better strategy to interrupt the formation of cleft palate through manipulation of PRMT1 activity.

Abstract
The balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory signals maintains tissue homeostasis and defines the outcome of chronic inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis, a condition that afflicts the tooth-supporting tissues and exerts an impact on systemic health. The induction of tissue inflammation relies heavily on Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, which drives a proinflammatory pathway through recruiting myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) and activating nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB). TLR-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines is reined in by anti-inflammatory cytokines, including the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family of cytokines. Although Smad6 is a key mediator of TGFβ-induced anti-inflammatory signaling, the exact mechanism by which TGFβ regulates TLR proinflammatory signaling in the periodontal tissue has not been addressed to date. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the ability of TGFβ to inhibit TLR-NFκB signaling is mediated by protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1)-induced Smad6 methylation. Upon methylation, Smad6 recruited MyD88 and promoted MyD88 degradation, thereby inhibiting NFκB activation. Most important, Smad6 is expressed and methylated in the gingival epithelium, and PRMT1-Smad6 signaling promotes tissue homeostasis by limiting inflammation. Consistent with this, disturbance of Smad6 methylation exacerbates inflammation and bone loss in experimental periodontitis. The dissected mechanism is therapeutically important, as it highlights the manipulation of PRMT1-Smad6 signaling as a novel promising strategy to modulate the host immune response in periodontitis.

Abstract
The skeletal and immune systems share a multitude of regulatory molecules, including cytokines, receptors, signaling molecules, and signaling transducers, thereby mutually influencing each other. In recent years, several novel insights have been attained that have enhanced our current understanding of the detailed mechanisms of osteoimmunology. In orthodontic tooth movement, immune responses mediated by periodontal tissue under mechanical force induce the generation of inflammatory responses with consequent alveolar bone resorption, and many regulators are involved in this process. In this review, we take a closer look at the cellular/molecular mechanisms and signaling involved in osteoimmunology and at relevant research progress in the context of the field of orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
The application of artificial neural network for pharmaceutical nondestructive quantitative analysis were investigated. Real data set from near infrared reflectance spectra of Paracetamoli powder pharmaceutical were used to build up artificial network to predict unknown samples. The parameters affecting network were discussed. A new network evaluation criterion, the degree of approximation, was employed. Owing to good nonlinear multivariate calibration nature of ANN, the predicted results was reliable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the subtype of surface proteins (hemagglutinin and neuraminidase) and antigenic character of the isolate of influenza virus, as well as to know its origin. METHODS The virus isolation was performed on MDCK cells. The identification and antigenic analysis of the isolate were carried out with HI and NI tests. The serum antibody in population against the isolate was detected with HI and neutralization assays. The individual investigation of the patient from whom the H9N2 virus was isolated was followed. RESULTS The isolate was H9N2 subtype of influenza A virus. It was G9 like strain. Its antigenicity was different from that of H9N2 viruses which were previously found in humans, chickens and pigeons. The HI and neutralization titers to H9N2 virus in convalescent serum of the patient reached 1:400 and > or =1: 640, respectively. The HI antibody titer 1:25 to H9N2 virus was also detected in the serum of patient's mother. CONCLUSIONS The isolate is H9N2 subtype of influenza A virus and belongs to G9 like strain. The antigenic character of the isolate was different from that of H9N2 viruses found previously in humans, chickens and pigeons. The greatest possibility was that her mother had contacted with birds, especially chickens carrying H9N2 virus, then transmitted to her or she breathed in the air borne with H9N2 virus particles directly.

Abstract
Recently, the on-line sample preparation technique, intube solid-phase microextraction (SPME), was successfully implemented with a Hewlett-Packard 1100 HPLC system for analysis of carbamates in water samples. This paper describes the coupling of in-tube SPME to capillary LC and explores its utility as a sample preparation method in that format, relative to conventional LC. The Hewlett-Packard HPLC system was upgraded to a capillary LC system using commercially available accessories from LC Packings. The combination of in-tube SPME with a capillary LC system was expected to build on the merits of both in-tube SPME and the capillary LC to generate a sensitive method with an easy, effective, and efficient sample preparation. Due to the relatively large effective injection volume of the in-tube SPME technique (30-45 microL), on-column focusing was employed in order to achieve good chromatographic efficiency. Excellent sensitivity was achieved with very good method precision. For all carbamates studied, the RSD of retention time was between 0.5 and 0.8% under 4 microL/min microgradient conditions. The RSD of peak area counts was between 1.5 and 4.6%. The detection limits for all carbamates studied were less than 0.3 microg/L and, for carbaryl, just 0.02 microg/L (20 ppt). Compared with the conventional in-tube SPME/LC method, the LODs were lowered for carbaryl, propham, methiocarb, promecarb, chlorpropham, and barban, by factors of 24, 45, 42, 81, 62, and 56, respectively. The optimized method was successfully applied to the analysis of carbamates in surface water samples.

Abstract
In-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is an automated version of SPME that can be easily coupled to a conventional HPLC autosampler for on-line sample preparation, separation and quantitation. It has been termed "in-tube" SPME because the extraction phase is coated inside a section of fused-silica tubing rather than coated on the surface of a fused-silica rod as in the conventional syringe-like SPME device. The new in-tube SPME technique has been demonstrated as a very efficient extraction method for the analysis of polar and thermally labile analytes. The in-tube SPME-HPLC method used with the FAMOS autosampler from LC Packings was developed for detecting polar carbamate pesticides in clean water samples. The main parameters relating to the extraction and desorption processes of in-tube SPME (selection of coatings, aspirate/dispense steps, selection of the desorption solvents, and the efficiency of desorption solvent, etc.) were investigated. The method was evaluated according to the reproducibility, linear range and limit of detection. This method is simple, effective, reproducible and sensitive. The relative standard deviation for all the carbamates investigated was between 1.7 and 5.3%. The method showed good linearity between 5 and 10000 microg/l with correlation coefficients between 0.9824 and 0.9995. For the carbamates studied, the limits of detection observed are lower than or similar to that of US Environmental Protection Agency or National Pesticide Survey methods. Detection of carbaryl present in clean water samples at 1 microg/l is possible.
