Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving treatment for critically-ill patients. During treatment, patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) can occur, which can lead to pulmonary damage, complications, and higher mortality. While traditional detection methods for PVAs rely on visual inspection by clinicians, in recent years, machine learning models are being developed to detect PVAs automatically. However, training these models requires large labeled datasets, which are difficult to obtain, as labeling is a labour-intensive and time-consuming task, requiring clinical expertise. Simulating the lung-ventilator interactions has been proposed to obtain large labeled datasets to train machine learning classifiers. However, the obtained data lacks the influence of different hardware, of servo-controlled algorithms, and different sources of noise. Here, we propose VentGAN, an adversarial learning approach to improve simulated data by learning the ventilator fingerprints from unlabeled clinical data. METHODS In VentGAN, the loss functions are designed to add characteristics of clinical waveforms to the generated results, while preserving the labels of the simulated waveforms. To validate VentGAN, we compare the performance for detection and classification of PVAs when training a previously developed machine learning algorithm with the original simulated data and with the data generated by VentGAN. Testing is performed on independent clinical data labeled by experts. The McNemar test is applied to evaluate statistical differences in the obtained classification accuracy. RESULTS VentGAN significantly improves the classification accuracy for late cycling, early cycling and normal breaths (p< 0.01); no significant difference in accuracy was observed for delayed inspirations (p = 0.2), while the accuracy decreased for ineffective efforts (p< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Generation of realistic synthetic data with labels by the proposed framework is feasible and represents a promising avenue for improving training of machine learning models.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which have a lipid nano-sized structure, are known to contain the active components of parental cells and play a crucial role in intercellular communication. The progression and metastasis of tumors are influenced by EVs derived from immune cells, which can simultaneously stimulate and suppress immune responses. In the past few decades, there has been a considerable focus on EVs due to their potential in various areas such as the development of vaccines, delivering drugs, making engineered modifications, and serving as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. This review focuses on the substance information present in EVs derived from innate and adaptive immune cells, their effects on the immune system, and their applications in cancer treatment. While there are still challenges to overcome, it is important to explore the composition of immune cells released vesicles and their potential therapeutic role in tumor therapy. The review also highlights the current limitations and future prospects in utilizing EVs for treatment purposes.

Abstract
The discovery of efficient and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid is vital for the commercialization of the proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzer. In this work, we demonstrate that short-range Ru atom arrays with near-ideal Ru-Ru interatomic distances and a unique Ru-O hybridization state can trigger direct O*-O* radical coupling to form an intermediate O*-O*-Ru configuration during acidic OER without generating OOH* species. Further, the Ru atom arrays suppress the participation of lattice oxygen in the OER and the dissolution of active Ru. Benefiting from these advantages, the as-designed Ru array-Co3O4 electrocatalyst breaks the activity/stability trade-off that plagues RuO2-based electrocatalysts, delivering an excellent OER overpotential of only 160 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 and outstanding durability during 1500 h operation, representing one of the best acid-stable OER electrocatalysts reported to date. 18O-labeled operando spectroscopic measurements together with theoretical investigations revealed that the short-range Ru atom arrays switched on an oxide path mechanism (OPM) during the OER. Our work not only guides the design of improved acidic OER catalysts but also encourages the pursuit of short-range metal atom array-based electrocatalysts for other electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
The constitutive model and modulus parameter equivalence of shape memory alloy composites (SMAC) serve as the foundation for the structural dynamic modeling of composite materials, which has a direct impact on the dynamic characteristics and modeling accuracy of SMAC. This article proposes a homogenization method for SMA composites considering interfacial phases, models the interface stress transfer of three-phase cylinders physically, and derives the axial and shear stresses of SMA fiber phase, interfacial phase, and matrix phase mathematically. The homogenization method and stress expression were then used to determine the macroscopic effective modulus of SMAC as well as the stress characteristics of the fiber phase and interface phase of SMA. The findings demonstrate the significance of volume fraction and tensile pre-strain in stress transfer between the fiber phase and interface phase at high temperatures. The maximum axial stress in the fiber phase is 705.05 MPa when the SMA is fully austenitic and the pre-strain increases to 5%. At 10% volume fraction of SMA, the fiber phase's maximum axial stress can reach 1000 MPa. Ultimately, an experimental verification of the theoretical calculation method's accuracy for the effective modulus of SMAC lays the groundwork for the dynamic modeling of SMAC structures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate the effects of temperature and total cloud cover before birth on newborn vitamin D status. STUDY DESIGN Prospective birth cohort. METHODS This study included 2055 mother-newborn pairs in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. The data of temperature and total cloud cover from 30 days before birth were collected, and cord blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] were determined. Restricted cubic spline regression models, multiple linear regression models, and logistic regression models were applied to estimate the associations. RESULTS A "J" shaped curve was observed between temperature and vitamin D status, and an inverse "J" shaped curve was observed between total cloud cover and vitamin D status. Compared to the fourth quartile (75-100th percentile, Q4) of average temperature (30 days before birth), the odds ratio (OR) for Q1 (0-25th percentile) associated with the vitamin D deficiency occurrence (<20 ng/mL) was 3.63 (95% CI, 1.54, 8.65). Compared to Q1 of the average total cloud cover (30 days before birth), the OR associated with the occurrence of vitamin D deficiency was 2.38 (95% CI, 1.63, 3.50) for the Q4. CONCLUSIONS Low temperature and high cloud cover before delivery were significantly associated with an increased probability of vitamin D deficiency in newborns. The findings suggested that pregnancy women lacking sufficient sunlight exposure still need vitamin D supplement to overcome the potential vitamin D deficiency status.

Abstract
CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been shown to achieve a considerably durable response in patients with refractory or relapsed B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Most of these CARs were generated by lentivirus. With the exception of Yescarta and Tecartus, few patients with relapsed-/refractory- lymphoma have been treated clinically with a CARs using retroviral vector (RV). Here, we reported a relapsed/refractory grade 2 follicular lymphoma patient with multiple chemotherapy failures, and was treated with a novel CD19 CAR-T cell manufactured from a RV. After tumor burden was reduced with Obinutuzumab and Duvelisib, the patient was infused novel CD19 CAR-T cells at a dose of 3 × 106 cells/ kg. Then he experienced a rapid response and achieved almost complete remission by day 26. Only grade 2 CRS, bilateral submaxillary lymph node enlargement and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurred without neurotoxicity, and the patient's condition improved after a series of symptomatic treatments. In addition, CAR copy number peaked at 532,350 copies/μg on day 15 and continued to expand for 5 months. This may be the first case report of RV preparation of novel CD19 CAR-T cells for direct treatment of recurrent follicular lymphoma. We will observe its long-term efficacy and conduct trials in more patients in the future.

Abstract
Currently, obesity and its complications have become increasingly serious health issues. Bariatric surgery is an effective method of treating obesity and related metabolic complications. Among them, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is still considered the "gold standard" procedure for bariatric surgery. Small bowel obstruction is one of the possible complications after RYGB, and in addition to the formation of intra-abdominal hernias, kinking of the jejunojejunal anastomosis is an important cause of small bowel obstruction. The early clinical symptoms of kinking of the jejunojejunal anastomosis often lack clarity in the early stages. Therefore, early diagnosis, prevention, and effective treatment of kinking of the jejunojejunal anastomosis are challenging but crucial. The occurrence of kinking of the jejunojejunal anastomosis may be related to surgical techniques and the surgeon's experience. The use of anti-obstruction stitch, mesenteric division, and bidirectional jejunojejunal anastomosis may be beneficial in preventing kinking of the jejunojejunal anastomosis. If kinking of the jejunojejunal anastomosis occurs, timely abdominal CT scans and endoscopic examinations should be performed. Gastric and intestinal decompression should be initiated immediately, and exploratory surgery should be prepared.

Abstract
Telomeres, TTAGGGn DNA repeat sequences located at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play a pivotal role in aging and are targets of DNA damage response. Although we and others have demonstrated presence of short telomeres in genetic cardiomyopathic and heart failure cardiomyocytes, little is known about the role of telomere lengths in cardiomyocyte. Here, we demonstrate that in heart failure patient cardiomyocytes, telomeres are shortened compared to healthy controls. We generated isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) with short telomeres (sTL-CMs) and normal telomeres (nTL-CMs) as model. Compared to nTL-CMs, short telomeres result in cardiac dysfunction and expression of senescent markers. Using Hi-C and RNASeq, we observe that short telomeres induced TAD insulation decrease near telomeric ends and this correlated with a transcription upregulation in sTL-CMs. FOXC1, a key transcription factor involved in early cardiogenesis, was upregulated in sTL-CMs and its protein levels were negatively correlated with telomere lengths in heart failure patients. Overexpression of FOXC1 induced hiPSC-CM aging, mitochondrial and contractile dysfunction; knockdown of FOXC1 rescued these phenotypes. Overall, the work presented demonstrate that increased chromatin accessibility due to telomere shortening resulted in the induction of FOXC1-dependent expression network responsible for contractile dysfunction and myocardial senescence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isatropolone A and C, produced by Streptomyces sp. CPCC 204095, belong to an unusual class of non-benzenoid aromatic compounds and contain a rare seven-membered ring structure. Isatropolone A exhibits potent activity against Leishmania donovani, comparable to the only oral drug miltefosine. However, its variably low productivity represents a limitation for this lead compound in the future development of new anti-leishmaniasis drugs to meet unmet clinical needs. RESULTS Here we first elucidated the regulatory cascade of biosynthesis of isatropolones, which consists of two SARP family regulators, IsaF and IsaJ. Through a series of in vivo and in vitro experiments, IsaF was identified as a pathway-specific activator that orchestrates the transcription of the gene cluster essential for isatropolone biosynthesis. Interestingly, IsaJ was found to only upregulate the expression of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase IsaS, which is crucial for the yield and proportion of isatropolone A and C. Through targeted gene deletions of isaJ or isaS, we effectively impeded the conversion of isatropolone A to C. Concurrently, the facilitation of isaF overexpression governed by selected promoters, prompted the comprehensive activation of the production of isatropolone A. Furthermore, meticulous optimization of the fermentation parameters was conducted. These strategies culminated in the attainment of an unprecedented maximum yield-980.8 mg/L of isatropolone A-achieved in small-scale solid-state fermentation utilizing the genetically modified strains, thereby establishing the highest reported titer to date. CONCLUSION In Streptomyces sp. CPCC 204095, the production of isatropolone A and C is modulated by the SARP regulators IsaF and IsaJ. IsaF serves as a master pathway-specific regulator for the production of isatropolones. IsaJ, on the other hand, only dictates the transcription of IsaS, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of isatropolone A and C. By engineering the expression of these pivotal genes, we have devised a strategy for genetic modification aimed at the selective and high-yield biosynthesis of isatropolone A. This study not only unveils the unique regulatory mechanisms governing isatropolone biosynthesis for the first time, but also establishes an essential engineering framework for the targeted high-level production of isatropolone A.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the frequent occurrence of apnea and/or hypopnea during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia, hypercapnia, and disruption of sleep architecture, further resulting in multisystem damage. The pathophysiological mechanisms include abnormal anatomical structure, low arousal threshold, high loop gain, and poor muscle reactivity, etc. As there are individual differences in the underlying mechanisms of OSA (i.e. endotypes), the effectiveness of treatment and prognosis may also vary according to these characteristics. Understanding the endotype of OSA is critical to understanding which patients are most likely to benefit from non-invasive ventilation therapy. Quantification of endotypes is central to the precision treatment of OSA and may provide the basis for accurate clinical treatment of OSA based on endotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although exposure to greenness has generally benefited human metabolic health, the association between greenness exposure and metabolic obesity remains poorly studied. We aimed to investigate the associations between residential greenness and obesity phenotypes and the mediation effects of air pollutants and physical activity (PA) level on the associations. METHODS We used the baseline of the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study, which enrolled 87,613 adults. Obesity phenotypes were defined based on obesity and metabolic status, including metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), non-obesity (MUNO), metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), and non-obesity (MHNO). Greenness exposure was measured as the 3-year mean values of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI) within the 500-m buffer zones around the participants' residence. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the associations between greenness and obesity phenotypes. Stratified analyses by age, sex, educational level, and urbanicity were performed to identify how the effect varies across different subgroups. Causal mediation analysis was used to examine the mediation effects of air pollutants and PA level. RESULTS Compared with MHNO, each interquartile range (IQR) increase in greenness exposure was associated with reduced risks of MHO (ORNDVI [95% CI] = 0.87 [0.81, 0.93]; OREVI = 0.91 [0.86, 0.97]), MUO (ORNDVI = 0.83 [0.78, 0.88]; OREVI = 0.86 [0.81, 0.91]), and MUNO (ORNDVI = 0.88 [0.84, 0.91]; OREVI = 0.89 [0.86, 0.92]). For each IQR increase in both NDVI and EVI, the risks of MHO, MUO, and MUNO were reduced more in men, participants over 60 years, those with a higher level of education, and those living in urban areas, compared to their counterparts. Concentrations of particulate matter (PM) and PA level partially mediated the associations between greenness exposure and obesity phenotypes. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to residential greenness was associated with decreased risks of MHO, MUO, and MUNO, which was mediated by concentrations of PM and PA level, and modified by sex, age, educational level, and urbanicity.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and capecitabine) for locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LA HSCC) and potential predictive factors for ORR. Methods: A single-center, prospective, phase 2 and single-arm trial was conducted for evaluating antitumor activity of camrelizumab+TPF(docetaxel+cisplatin+capecitabine) for LA HSCC between May 21, 2021 and April 15, 2023, patients admitted to the Eye & ENT Hospital affiliated with Fudan University. The primary endpoint was ORR, and enrolled patients with LA HSCC at T3-4N0-3M0 received induction chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles: camrelizumab 200 mg day 1, docetaxel 75 mg/m2 day 1, cisplatin 25 mg/m2 days 1-3, and capecitabine 800 mg/m2 days 1-14. Patients were assigned to radioimmunotherapy when they had complete response or partial response (PR)>70% (Group A), or assigned to surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy when they had PR≤70% (Group B), and the responses were defined by using tumor volume evaluation system. Tumor diameter was also used to assess the treatment responses by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Use SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 51 patients were enrolled who underwent the induced chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles, and all were males, aged 35-69 years old. After three cycles of induction immunochemotherapy, 42 (82.4%) patients existed in Group A (complete response or PR>70%) and 9 patients (17.6%) in Group B (PR≤70%), the ORR was 82.4%. The primary endpoint achieved expected main research objectives. Compared to the patients of Group A, the patients of Group B showed the higher T stage and the larger volume of primary tumor before induced immunochemotherapy, and also had the less regression of tumor volume after induced immunochemotherapy (all P<0.05). The optimal cutoff value of pre-treatment tumor volume for predicting ORR was 39 cm3. The T stage (OR=12.71, 95%CI: 1.4-112.5, P=0.022) and the volume (OR=7.1, 95%CI: 1.4-36.8, P=0.018) of primary tumor were the two main factors affecting ORR rate of induction chemoimmunotherapy. Conclusion: The induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF shows an encouraging antitumor efficacy in LA HSCC.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening and widespread disease, with exceptionally high morbidity and mortality rates. Unfortunately, effective drugs for ALI treatment are currently lacking. Guben Qingfei decoction (GBQF) is a Chinese herbal compound known for its efficacy in treating viral pneumonia, yet the precise underlying mechanisms remain unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to validate the mitigating effect of GBQF on ALI and to further investigate its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS An ALI mice model was established by infusing LPS into the endotracheal tube. The effects of GBQF on ALI were investigated by measuring lung W/D; MPO; BALF total protein concentration; total number of cells; TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels; pathological changes in lung tissue, and oxidation products. Immunohistochemistry and Western Blotting were performed to verify the underlying mechanisms. MH-S and BEAS-2B cells were induced by LPS, and the effects of GBQF were confirmed by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence. RESULTS GBQF significantly reduced LPS-induced ALI in mice, improved lung inflammation, reduced the production of oxidative products, increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and reduced the degree of lung tissue damage. GBQF prevents MH-S cells from releasing inflammatory factors and reduces oxidative damage to BEAS-2B cells. In vivo studies have delved deeper into the mechanism of action of GBQF, revealing its correlation with the TLR4/NF-κB and Keap1/Nrf2 pathways. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that GBQF is an effective treatment for ALI, providing a new perspective on medication development for ALI treatment.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) offers rapid hematopoietic and immune reconstitution for aplastic anemia (AA). As a non-malignant disorder, attenuation of GVHD remains a clinical priority in AA patients. Our study sought to investigate the safety and efficacy of the prophylactic use of ruxolitinib in allogeneic HSCT. A total of 35 AA patients were retrospectively consecutively treated with allo-HSCT whereby ruxolitinib was added to the standard GVHD prophylaxis regimen (rux group). The addition of peri-transplant ruxolitinib did not impact the engraftment and graft function, while better recovery of CD4+ Tregs in the rux group was observed. Interestingly, the rux group demonstrated significantly lower incidence of bacterial/fungal infections (17.14% vs 45.71%). Compared to the control group, the rux group exhibited significantly lower incidence of moderate to severe aGVHD (17.1% vs 48.6%) with a trend toward lower severe aGVHD (8.6% vs 20%) and cGVHD (26.2 vs 38.3). The rux group also demonstrated a trend toward higher GVHD and failure-free survival (GFFS: 85.7% vs 68.6%) and lower TRM (2.9% vs 14.3%). Addition of ruxolitinib to standard GVHD prophylaxis regimen, thus, represents a safe and highly efficient method for the attenuation of GVHD with better outcome of allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Tumor cells must resist the host's immune system while maintaining growth under harsh conditions of acidity and hypoxia, which indicates that tumors are more robust than normal tissue. Immunotherapeutic agents have little effect on solid tumors, mostly because of the tumor density and the difficulty of penetrating deeply into the tissue to achieve the theoretical therapeutic effect. Various therapeutic strategies targeting the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been developed. Immunometabolic disorders play a dominant role in treatment resistance at both the TME and host levels. Understanding immunometabolic factors and their treatment potential may be a way forward for tumor immunotherapy. Here, we summarize the metabolism of substances that affect tumor progression, the crosstalk between the TME and immunosuppression, and some potential tumor-site targets. We also summarize the progress and challenges of tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Plant diseases tend to be more serious under conditions of high-temperature/high-humidity (HTHH) than under moderate conditions, and hence disease resistance under HTHH is an important determinant for plant survival. However, how plants cope with diseases under HTHH remains poorly understood. In this study, we used the pathosystem consisting of pepper (Capsicum annuum) and Ralstonia solanacearum (bacterial wilt) as a model to examine the functions of the protein mildew resistance locus O 1 (CaMLO1) and U-box domain-containing protein 21 (CaPUB21) under conditions of 80% humidity and either 28 °C or 37 °C. Expression profiling, loss- and gain-of-function assays involving virus-induced gene-silencing and overexpression in pepper plants, and protein-protein interaction assays were conducted, and the results showed that CaMLO1 acted negatively in pepper immunity against R. solanacearum at 28 °C but positively at 37 °C. In contrast, CaPUB21 acted positively in immunity at 28 °C but negatively at 37 °C. Importantly, CaPUB21 interacted with CaMLO1 under all of the tested conditions, but only the interaction in response to R. solanacearum at 37 °C or to exposure to 37 °C alone led to CaMLO1 degradation, thereby turning off defence responses against R. solanacearum at 37 °C and under high-temperature stress to conserve resources. Thus, we show that CaMLO1 and CaPUB21 interact with each other and function distinctly in pepper immunity against R. solanacearum in an environment-dependent manner.

Abstract
AIMS To develop an auto-categorization system based on machine learning for three-dimensional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (3D MRCP) to detect choledocholithiasis from healthy and symptomatic individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3D MRCP sequences from 254 cases with common bile duct (CBD) stones and 251 cases with normal CBD were enrolled to train the 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) model. Then 184 patients from three different hospitals (91 with positive CBD stone and 93 with normal CBD) were prospectively included to test the performance of 3D-CNN. RESULTS With a cutoff value of 0.2754, 3D-CNN achieved the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 94.51%, 92.47%, and 93.48%, respectively. In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) for the presence or absence of CBD stones was 0.974 (95% CI, 0.940-0.992). There was no significant difference in sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy between 3D-CNN and radiologists. In addition, the performance of 3D-CNN was also evaluated in the internal test set and the external test set, respectively. The internal test set yielded an accuracy of 94.74% and AUC of 0.974 (95% CI, 0.919-0.996), and the external test set yielded an accuracy of 92.13% and AUC of 0.970 (95% CI, 0.911-0.995). CONCLUSIONS An artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system for CBD stones was constructed using 3D-CNN model for 3D MRCP images. The performance of 3D-CNN model was comparable to that of radiologists in diagnosing CBD stones. 3D-CNN model maintained high performance when applied to data from other hospitals.

Abstract
Tumor growth and metastasis require neovascularization, which is dependent on a complex array of factors, such as the production of various pro-angiogenic factors by tumor cells, intercellular signaling, and stromal remodeling. The hypoxic, acidic tumor microenvironment is not only conducive to tumor cell proliferation, but also disrupts the equilibrium of angiogenic factors, leading to vascular heterogeneity, which further promotes tumor development and metastasis. Anti-angiogenic strategies to inhibit tumor angiogenesis has, therefore, become an important focus for anti-tumor therapy. The traditional approach involves the use of anti-angiogenic drugs to inhibit tumor neovascularization by targeting upstream and downstream angiogenesis-related pathways or pro-angiogenic factors, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. This review explores the mechanisms involved in tumor angiogenesis and summarizes currently used anti-angiogenic drugs, including monoclonal antibody, and small-molecule inhibitors, as well as the progress and challenges associated with their use in anti-tumor therapy. It also outlines the opportunities and challenges of treating tumors using more advanced anti-angiogenic strategies, such as immunotherapy and nanomaterials.

Abstract
Previous research has demonstrated that Maasai and Europeans tend to align in their ratings of the physical strength and aggressiveness of Maasai male faces, calibrated to hand grip strength (HGS). However, perceptions of attractiveness of these faces differed among populations. In this study, three morphs of young Maasai men created by means of geometric morphometrics, and depicting the average sample and two extrema (± 4 SD of HGS), were assessed by men and women from Tanzania, Czech Republic, Russia, Pakistan, China, and Mexico (total sample = 1540). The aim of this study was to test cross-cultural differences in the perception of young Maasai men's composites calibrated to HGS, focusing on four traits: physical strength, attractiveness, aggressiveness, and helpfulness. Individuals from all six cultures were able to distinguish between low, medium, and high HGS portraits. Across all study populations, portrait of Maasai men with lower HGS was perceived as less attractive, more aggressive, and less helpful. This suggests that people from diverse populations share similar perceptions of physical strength based on facial shape, as well as attribute similar social qualities like aggressiveness and helpfulness to these facial images. Participants from all samples rated the composite image of weak Maasai men as the least attractive.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the association between vitamin D level and grip strength in people aged ≥50 years in Shanghai. Methods: Data were obtained from the WHO's Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health in Shanghai during 2018-2019. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between vitamin D level and grip strength, and a stratified analysis was conducted for different gender, age and dairy product intake groups. Restricted cubic spline was used to evaluate the dose-response association between vitamin D level and low grip strength. Results: A total of 4 391 participants were included in the study, including 2 054 men (46.8%), with an average age of (67.02±8.81) years. And 1 421 individuals (32.4%) had low grip strength; 1 533 individuals (34.9%) had vitamin D deficiency, and 401 individuals (9.1%) had vitamin D deficiency. After adjusted for confounding factors, the logistic regression results analysis showed that individuals with vitamin D deficiency had a higher risk for low grip strength (OR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.09-1.83). In men, after adjusting for confounding factors, vitamin D deficiency was positively associated with the risk for low grip strength (OR=1.67, 95%CI: 1.12-2.50), but there was no significant association between vitamin D level and grip strength in women (OR=1.30, 95%CI: 0.97-1.74). In age group 60-69 years and ≥80 years, there was significant association between vitamin D deficiency and low grip strength after adjusting for confounding factors (OR=1.57, 95%CI: 1.05-2.35; OR=2.40, 95%CI: 1.08-5.31). In people who had daily intake of dairy product <250 ml, there was positive association between vitamin D deficiency and low grip strength, but there was no significant association in people who had daily dairy product ≥250 ml after adjusting for confounding factors. The restrictive cubic spline demonstrated that risk of low grip strength might decreased with the increase of vitamin D levels, however, the difference was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that there is association between vitamin D level and grip strength. People with vitamin D deficiency have higher risk for low grip strength.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the incidence of diabetes and influencing factors, the trend of FPG change and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong). Methods: The HIV/AIDS treatment database was collected from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. This retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART in Dehong during 2004-2020.The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the incidence density of diabetes, the influencing factors and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART, mixed linear effects model was used to analyze the trend of FPG change and predict FPG in those with different glucose metabolic status at baseline survey. Statistical analysis was performed using software SAS 9.4. Results: A total of 8 763 HIV-infected individuals were included, in whom 8 432 (96.2%) had no diabetes, 331 had diabetes. The incidence density of diabetes was 2.31/1 000 person years. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that 30- 59 years old, BMI ≥24.0 kg/m2, Efavirenz (EFV) based initial treatment regimen and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) at baseline survey were significantly and positively associated with incidence of diabetes. Mixed effect model revealed that FPG was positively correlated with the duration of ART, age and baseline FPG. Suffering from diabetes was a risk factor for mortality in HIV-infected individuals both at baseline survey and during follow-up. Conclusions: The risk for diabetes increased in HIV-infected individuals who were 30-59 years old, baseline BMI ≥24.0 kg/m2, received EFV based initial treatment, and IFG in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy in Dehong, 2004-2020. It is important to pay close attention to their blood glucose, and patients with high blood glucose should receive treatment as early as possible.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) and pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) in predicting mortality of pediatric sepsis in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) from Southwest China. Methods: This was a prospective multicenter observational study. A total of 447 children with sepsis admitted to 12 PICU in Southwest China from April 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Based on the prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group. The physiological parameters of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS were recorded and scored within 24 h after PICU admission. The general clinical data and some laboratory results were recorded. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the predictive value of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS in mortality of pediatric sepsis. Results: Amongst 447 children with sepsis, 260 patients were male and 187 patients were female, aged 2.5 (0.8, 7.0) years, 405 patients were in the survival group and 42 patients were in the non-survival group. 418 patients (93.5%) met the criteria of SIRS, and 440 patients (98.4%) met the criteria of pSOFA≥2. There was no significant difference in the number of items meeting the SIRS criteria between the survival group and the non-survival group (3(2, 4) vs. 3(3, 4) points, Z=1.30, P=0.192). The pSOFA score of the non-survival group was significantly higher than that of the survival group (9(6, 12) vs. 4(3, 7) points, Z=6.56, P<0.001), and the PCIS score was significantly lower than that of the survival group (72(68, 81) vs. 82(76, 88) points, Z=5.90, P<0.001). The predictive value of pSOFA (AUC=0.82) and PCIS (AUC=0.78) for sepsis mortality was significantly higher than that of SIRS (AUC=0.56) (Z=6.59, 4.23, both P<0.001). There was no significant difference between pSOFA and PCIS (Z=1.35, P=0.176). Platelet count, procalcitonin, lactic acid, albumin, creatinine, total bilirubin, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and international normalized ratio were all able to predict mortality of sepsis to a certain degree (AUC=0.64, 0.68, 0.80, 0.64, 0.68, 0.60, 0.77, 0.75, 0.76, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with SIRS, both pSOFA and PCIS had better predictive value in the mortality of pediatric sepsis in PICU.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the surgical strategies and clinical efficacy for aortic dissection combined with refractory superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ischemia. Methods: This is a retrospective case series study. Clinical data of 24 patients with aortic dissection and refractory SMA ischemia admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from August 2010 to August 2020 were retrospectively collected. Of the 24 patients, 21 were males and 3 were females, with an age of (50.3±9.9) years (range: 44 to 72 years).Among them, 9 cases were Stanford type A aortic dissection, and 15 cases were type B. All patients underwent CT angiography upon admission, and based on imaging characteristics, they were classified into three types. Type Ⅰ: severe stenosis/occlusion of the SMA true lumen only; Type Ⅱ: stenosis of the true lumens in the descending aorta and SMA (isolated type); Type Ⅲ: stenosis of the true lumens in the thoracoabdominal aorta and SMA (continuation type). Surgical procedures, complications, mortality, and reintervention rates were recorded. Results: Among the 24 patients, 17 (70.8%) were classified as Type Ⅰ, 4 (16.7%) as Type Ⅱ, and 3 (12.5%) as Type Ⅲ. Fourteen cases of Type Ⅰ underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair combined with SMA stent implantation. Additionally, 3 Type Ⅰ and 1 Type Ⅱ patients underwent only SMA reconstruction (with one case of chronic TAAD treated with iliac artery-SMA bypass surgery). Moreover, 3 Type Ⅱ and 3 Type Ⅲ patients underwent descending aorta combined with SMA stent implantation. There were 5 patients (20.8%) who underwent small bowel resection, either in the same sitting or in a staged procedure. During hospitalization, 4 patients died, resulting in a mortality rate of 16.7%. Among these cases, two patients succumbed to severe intestinal ischemia resulting in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The follow-up duration was (46±9) months (range: 13 to 72 months). During the follow-up, 2 patients died, unrelated to intestinal ischemia. The 5-year freedom from reintervention survival rate was 86.1%, and the 5-year cumulative survival rate was 82.6%. Conclusions: Patients with aortic dissection and refractory SMA ischemia have a high perioperative mortality. However, implementing appropriate surgical strategies according to different clinical scenarios can reduce mortality and alleviate intestinal ischemia.

Abstract
A wide variety of cell surface receptors found on immune cells are essential to the body's immunological defense mechanisms. Cell surface receptors enable immune cells to sense extracellular stimuli and identify pathogens, transmitting activating or inhibitory signals that regulate the immune cell state and coordinate immunological responses. These receptors can dynamically aggregate or disperse due to the fluidity of the cell membrane, particularly during interactions between cells or between cells and pathogens. At the contact surface, cell surface receptors form microclusters, facilitating the recruitment and amplification of downstream signals. The strength of the immune signal is influenced by both the quantity and the specific types of participating receptors. Generally, receptor cross-linking, meaning multivalent ligation of receptors on one cell, leads to greater interface connectivity and more robust signaling. However, intercellular interactions are often spatially restricted by other cellular structures. Therefore, it is essential to comprehend these receptors' features for developing effective immunoengineering approaches. Biomaterials can stimulate and simulate interactions between immune cells and their targets. Biomaterials can activate immune cells to act against pathogenic organisms or cancer cells, thereby offering a valuable immunoengineering toolset for vaccination and immunotherapy. In this review, we systematically summarize biomaterial-based immunoengineering strategies that consider the biology of diverse immune cell surface receptors and the structural attributes of pathogens. By combining this knowledge, we aim to advance the development of rational and effective approaches for immune modulation and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
It is usually believed that differentiated thyroid cancer is less likely to have distant metastases and rarely occurs secondary to hyperthyroidism. In our case report, we describe a patient diagnosed with thyroid fetal adenoma in 2002 who subsequently presented with a painful lump in her right rib. Through puncture biopsy, the mass was considered as metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma, and then she appeared to have hyperthyroidism. The results of SPECT examination and other tests suggested that the hyperthyroidism was secondary to the thyroid cancer. The patient further underwent total thyroidectomy, and the pathology did not find any follicular thyroid foci. In this article, we analyze and discuss this case and review the relevant literature.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has an insidious onset and lacks clear early diagnostic markers, and by the time overt dementia symptoms appear, the disease is already in the mid-to-late stages. The search for early diagnostic markers of AD may open a critical window for Alzheimer's treatment and facilitate early intervention to slow the progression of AD. In this study, we aimed to explore the imaging markers for early diagnosis of AD through the combined application of structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), and 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques at the animal experimental level, with the aim to provide a certain reference for early clinical diagnosis of AD. First, sMRI scans were performed on 4-month-old amyloid beta precursor protein/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) transgenic AD model mice and wild type mice of the same litter using a 7.0 T animal MRI scanner to analyze the differential brain regions with structural changes in the gray matter of the brain by voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Next, rs-fMRI scans were performed to analyze the differential brain regions between groups for local spontaneous brain activity and functional connectivity (FC) between brain regions. Finally, 1H-MRS scans were performed to quantify and analyze intergroup differences in the relative concentrations of different metabolites within regions of interest (cortex and hippocampus). Compared with wild type mice, the volume of the left hippocampus, and right olfactory bulb of APP/PS1 transgenic AD model mice were reduced, the functional activity of the bilateral hippocampus, right piriform cortex and right caudate putamen was reduced, the functional network connectivity of the hippocampus was impaired, and the relative content of N-acetylaspartate (NAA)in the hippocampus was decreased. In addition, this study found that imaging changes in olfactory-related brain regions were closely associated with AD diagnosis, and these findings may provide some reference for the early diagnosis of AD.

Abstract
The patient, a 66-year-old male, suffered from redness, blurred vision, photophobia, and tearing in the right eye after being injured by a wooden board. Anti-inflammatory treatment showed poor effectiveness. A 4 mm × 4 mm infiltrate with white deposits on the surface was observed in the central cornea of the right eye. Microscopic examination of corneal scrapings, fungal culture, and in vivo confocal microscopy all indicated fungal infection. The isolated strain was identified as Scedosporium apiospermum through microscopic morphology and confirmed as Petriella setifera by gene sequencing. The patient received corneal debridement combined with routine anti-inflammatory and antifungal treatment in the outpatient clinic. During the follow-up period, the condition continued to improve. Slit lamp examination at the revisit 40 days after the initial diagnosis revealed thinning of the corneal stroma, basic healing of the epithelium, and an increase in uncorrected visual acuity from 0.3 to 0.6.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate dietary patterns of individuals aged ≥50 in Shanghai and analyze their association with frailty. Methods: Using data from the third wave of the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health in Shanghai conducted between 2018 and 2019. We collected the frequency and average intake of food by the food frequency questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to extract dietary patterns, and a frailty index was constructed using the ratio of the cumulative total score of health deficits to 35 health-related variables considered. We used an ordinal multinomial logistic regression model to analyze the association between dietary patterns and frailty. Results: A total of 3 274 participants aged (67.9±9.2) years were included in the study, including 1 971 (60.2%) men and 1 303 (39.8%) women. We extracted four dietary patterns: high-protein-nuts pattern, potato-bean-vegetable-fruit pattern, poultry-meat pattern, and high-oil-salt pattern. After adjusting for confounding factors, the logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the high-oil-salt pattern, the high-protein-nuts pattern was negatively associated with the risk of higher frailty (OR=0.743, 95%CI: 0.580-0.951). We did not find an association between dietary patterns and frailty between the different gender groups. In the age group 50-64, the high-protein-nuts and potato-bean-vegetable-fruit patterns were negatively correlated with a higher degree of frailty than the high-oil-salt pattern. In the low-level physical activity group, the high-protein-nuts pattern was negatively correlated with a higher degree of frailty than the high-oil-salt pattern (OR=0.509, 95%CI: 0.361-0.720). However, we found no significant effect of the high-protein nuts pattern, potato-bean-vegetable-fruit pattern, and poultry-meat pattern on the risk of higher frailty compared to the high-oil-salt pattern in the moderate to high level of physical activity group. Conclusions: Compared to the high-oil-salt pattern, dietary patterns with a higher intake of high-protein nuts, potatoes, legumes, and fruits and vegetables might be associated with a lower risk of higher frailty in residents aged 50-64 years of age than with a high oil and salt pattern. At the same time, it may have a more significant protective effect in people with lower physical activity levels. It is suggested that a diet rich in high-protein foods, nuts, potatoes, beans, vegetables, and fruits may help reduce and delay the risk of frailty.

Abstract
RATIONALE In recent years, recreational use of inhaled nitrous oxide (N2O) is on the increase among young people, accompanied by a corresponding rise in reports about its toxicity. Subacute combined degeneration of the spine cord (SCD) is the typical clinical picture of the nervous system disorder caused by N2O intoxication, as a result of metabolic disturbance of vitamin B12. PATIENT CONCERNS, DIAGNOSES, INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES We report a 28-year-old female of SCD due to prolonged use of N2O, presented with paresthesia and unsteady in walking progressing within 1 month. Symptoms gradually improved with the treatment of intramuscular injections of hydroxocobalamin combined with N2O abstinence, and the patient recovered completely with normal neurological examination after 4 months of follow-up. LESSONS Clinicians should be aware of the clinical features and pathogenesis of SCD caused by N2O intoxication in order to lead effective treatment as soon as possible. Recreational N2O use should always be considered as an etiology when dealing with patients presented with myelopathy and/or neuropathy suspected of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adverse exposures during pregnancy have been linked with respiratory disorders in the offspring. Research also shows that maternal mental disorders can influence the risk of respiratory illnesses. We hereby systematically examined if specific mental disorders during pregnancy, namely, anxiety and depression, can increase the risk of asthma in the offspring. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search of PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to 15th October 2023 was undertaken for cohort studies assessing the association between maternal anxiety/depression and the risk of asthma in the offspring. Adjusted data was quantitatively synthesized in a random-effect meta-analysis model. RESULTS Nine studies with 1,027,469 mother-child pairs were included. Studies reported data on anxiety, depression, or both anxiety and depression. Maternal anxiety (OR: 1.61 95% CI: 1.29, 2.01 I2=0%), maternal depression (OR: 1.25 95% CI: 1.07, 1.45 I2=12%), and both combined (OR: 1.28 95% CI: 1.16, 1.41 I2=93%) were associated with significantly increase the risk of asthma in childhood. Overall, the pooled analysis showed that maternal anxiety or depression significantly increased the risk of asthma in childhood by 30% (OR: 1.30 95% CI: 1.20, 1.40 I2=75%). Results remained significant on multiple subgroup analyses. CONCLUSIONS Maternal anxiety and depression can increase the risk of asthma in childhood. The observational nature of studies, differences in adjusted founders, methodological variations, and predominance of European data are important limitations. Further prospective research taking into account present limitations is needed for improved evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the difference between proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN) and hip replacement (HR) for femoral intertrochanteric fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of the differences in operative time, length of stay, postoperative Harris score, and postoperative mortality between patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture treated by PFBN and HR admitted to Jinzhai County People's Hospital from October 2020 to September 2022 was performed. RESULTS A total of 56 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture, 26 with PFBN and 30 with HR, were included in the study. There were no differences in the length of surgery, pre- and post-operative hemoglobin, or post-operative Harris score at 3 months between the two groups. Compared to the HR group, the PFBN group had a lower total cost, shorter hospital stays, and lower mortality but a longer ambulation time, with a difference of 3.36 weeks. CONCLUSIONS PFBN may be a promising new treatment for femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterize three-dimensional quantitative morphological changes of glenoid fossa in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion treated with bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. Ninety-five eligible patients (50 male, 45 female; mean age 22.09 years) were enrolled retrospectively. Cone beam computed tomography obtained at 1 week preoperatively (T0), immediately after surgery (T1), and at ≥ 12 months postoperatively (T2) were registered based on cranial base using voxel-based registration in 3D Slicer. Glenoid fossa surface was divided spatially into four regions, and bone modelling in these regions was visualized with color maps. Our data revealed that the mean surface variations of glenoid fossa were small, with modest bone formation as a whole. No significant associations between anteroposterior or vertical mandibular displacement and overall glenoid fossa remodeling were found (P > 0.05). Moreover, bone deposition was frequently observed in the anterior-lateral region of glenoid fossa in patients with a larger mandibular movement during T0-T1 (P < 0.001). Paired bone formation in the anterior-lateral region of glenoid fossa and bone resorption in the anterior-lateral region of condylar head was frequently observed. Collectively, our results revealed that glenoid fossa underwent complex but modest bone remodeling after bimaxillary surgery in skeletal Class III patients.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Adoptive T-cell therapy with anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing T cells is a new approach for treating advanced B-cell malignancies. However, CAR-Tcell therapies for tumors are challenging due to tumor heterogeneity, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and CAR-T cell exhaustion. The Qi Yin San Liang San (SLS) decoction has a significant curative effect in treating tumors and can improve clinical efficacy when combined with tumor immunotherapy. However, there has been no in vitro or in vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation of SLS in combination with immunotherapy, and the underlying immunological mechanism remains unclear. AIM OF THE REVIEW The study objective was to determine the auxiliary effect and potential mechanism of SLS as an adjuvant treatment with anti-CD19 CAR-T cells for B-cell lymphomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Network pharmacology analyses, in vitro and in vivo studies, and transcriptome sequencing analyses were performed. RESULTS Forty-two components were detected in SLS by HPLC. Sixteen pharmacologically active ingredients were analyzed by searching the TCMSP database. The predicted targets included IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, CASP7, and CASP9. In vitro studies revealed that SLS can dose-dependently promote the killing effect of unmodified T and anti-CD19 CAR-T cells against Raji cell lines. Meanwhile, SLS inhibited unmodified T and anti-CD19 CAR-T cell exhaustion, promoted anti-CD19 CAR-T cell proliferation, reduced the levels of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α, and increased granzyme B levels. In vivo studies, SLS effectively improved the anti-tumor function of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells, prolonged the survival of the mice, and reduced the levels of IL-6, GM-CSF, and IL-17. Subsequently, the transcriptomic analysis showed that SLS inhibited the IL-17 signaling pathway and the apoptosis signaling pathway of T cells. In addition, SLS downregulated the expression of IL-17A, IL-6, TNF-α, GM-CSF, S100A8, CASP 7, CASP 9, and CASP 10 in anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. SLS regulated the IL-17 signaling pathway and apoptosis signaling pathway in anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. CONCLUSION SLS plays a potential auxiliary role in enhancing the function of anti-CD19 CAR T cells in the treatment of B-cell lymphoma, improving the killing ability of these cells, reducing the potential risk associated with inflammation, and providing synergistic and attenuating effects. The mechanism of SLS is partially mediated by the apoptosis and IL-17 signaling pathways (such as IL-17A, IL-6, TNF-α, GM-CSF, and Granzyme B).

Abstract
Recently, a step-flow growth mode has been proposed to break the inherent molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystal domain bimodality and yield a single-crystalline MoS2 monolayer on commonly employed sapphire substrates. This work reveals an alternative growth mechanism during the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of a single-crystalline MoS2 monolayer through anisotropic 2D crystal growth. During early growth stages, the epitaxial symmetry and commensurability of sapphire terraces rather than the sapphire step inclination ultimately govern the MoS2 crystal orientation. Strikingly, as the MoS2 crystals continue to grow laterally, the sapphire steps transform the MoS2 crystal geometry into diamond-shaped domains presumably by anisotropic diffusion of ad-species and facet development. Even though these MoS2 domains nucleate on sapphire with predominantly bimodal 0 and 60° azimuthal rotation, the individual domains reach lateral dimensions of up to 200 nm before merging seamlessly into a single-crystalline MoS2 monolayer upon coalescence. Plan-view transmission electron microscopy reveals the single-crystalline nature across 50 μm by 50 μm inspection areas. As a result, the median carrier mobility of MoS2 monolayers peaks at 25 cm2 V-1 s-1 with the highest value reaching 28 cm2 V-1 s-1. This work details synthesis-structure correlations and the possibilities to tune the structure and material properties through substrate topography toward various applications in nanoelectronics, catalysis, and nanotechnology. Moreover, shape modulation through anisotropic growth phenomena on stepped surfaces can provide opportunities for nanopatterning for a wide range of materials.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (IALL). Methods: A retrospective cohort study.Clinical data, treatment and prognosis of 28 cases of IALL who have been treated at Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University and Baoding Children's Hospital from October 2013 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), all patients were divided into KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R) positive group and KMT2A-R negative group. The prognosis of two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test were used to analyze the survival of the patients. Results: Among 28 cases of IALL, there were 10 males and 18 females, with the onset age of 10.9 (9.4,11.8) months. In terms of immune classification, 25 cases were B-ALL (89%), while the remaining 3 cases were T-ALL (11%). Most infant B-ALL showed pro-B lymphocyte phenotype (16/25,64%). A total of 22 cases (79%) obtained chromosome karyotype results, of which 7 were normal karyotypes, no complex karyotypes and 15 were abnormal karyotypes were found. Among abnormal karyotypes, there were 4 cases of t (9; 11), 2 cases of t (4; 11), 2 cases of t (11; 19), 1 case of t (1; 11) and 6 cases of other abnormal karyotypes. A total of 19 cases (68%) were positive for KMT2A-R detected by FISH. The KMT2A fusion gene was detected by real-time PCR in 16 cases (57%). A total of 24 patients completed standardized induction chemotherapy and were able to undergo efficacy evaluation, 23 cases (96%) achieved complete remission through induction chemotherapy, 4 cases (17%) died of relapse. The 5-year event free survival rate (EFS) was (46±13)%, and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was (73±10)%.The survival time was 31.3 (3.3, 62.5) months. There was no significant statistical difference in 5-year EFS ((46±14)% vs. (61±18)%) and 5-year OS ((64±13)% vs. (86±13)%) between the KMT2A-R positive group (15 cases) and the KMT2A-R negative group (9 cases) (χ2=1.88, 1.47, P=0.170, 0.224). Conclusions: Most IALL patients were accompanied by KMT2A-R. They had poor tolerance to traditional chemotherapy, the relapse rate during treatment was high and the prognosis was poor.

Abstract
PURPOSE To measure femoral torsion on computed tomography images in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and explore whether femoral torsion was significantly correlated with anterior capsular thickness. METHODS Prospectively collected data of surgical patients were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients aged 16 to 55 years who underwent primary hip surgery were included in this study. Patients with a history of revision hip surgery, previous knee surgery, hip dysplasia, hip synovitis, and/or incomplete radiographs and medical records were excluded from the study. Femoral torsion was measured via computed tomography imaging using transcondylar slices of the knee. Anterior capsular thickness was measured using oblique-sagittal sequences on a 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging system. The association between anterior capsular thickness and related variables, including femoral torsion, was assessed via multiple linear regression. The patients were then divided into 2 groups to further confirm the effect of femoral torsion on capsular thickness: Patients in the study group had hips with moderate (20°-25°) or severe (>25°) antetorsion, whereas patients in the control group had hips with normal torsion (5°-20°) or retrotorsion (<5°). Anterior capsular thickness was also compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS A total of 156 patients (89 female patients [57.1%] and 67 male patients [42.9%]) were finally included in the study. The mean age and body mass index of the included patients were 35.8 ± 11.2 years and 22.7 ± 3.5, respectively. The mean femoral torsion for the entire study population was 15.9° ± 8.9°. Multivariable regression analysis showed that femoral torsion (P < .001) and sex (P = .002) were significantly correlated with anterior capsular thickness. Propensity-score matching yielded 50 hips in the study group and 50 hips in the control group on femoral torsion subanalysis. The results showed that anterior capsular thickness was significantly smaller in the study group than in the control group (3.8 ± 0.5 mm vs 4.7 ± 0.7 mm, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Femoral torsion is significantly inversely correlated with anterior capsular thickness. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Allergic asthma is a prevalent form of asthma that is characterized primarily by airway inflammation. Jiegeng decoction (JGT) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula known for its anti-inflammatory properties and has been used to treat respiratory diseases for centuries. This study aimed to investigate the biological effects and mechanisms of action of JGT in improving allergic asthma. An experimental allergic asthma mouse model was established using ovalbumin. The results showed that JGT significantly improved inflammation cell infiltration in the lung tissue of allergic asthmatic mice and the inflammatory environment of Th2 cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid while also reducing serum IgE levels. Subsequently, 38 components of JGT were identified through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Network pharmacology revealed that regulating inflammation and immune responses is the primary biological process by which JGT improves allergic asthma, with Th2 cell differentiation and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway being the key mechanisms of action. Finally, qPCR, flow cytometry, and Western blotting were used to validate that JGT inhibited Th2 cell differentiation by blocking the JAK1-STAT6 signaling pathway in CD4+ T cells, ultimately improving allergic asthma. This study provides a novel perspective on the therapeutic potential of JGT in the treatment of allergic asthma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment regimens for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy have been illustrated with limited efficacy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Here, we report a single-arm, multicenter, phase Ⅱ study of R/M HNSCC patients treated with a programmed cell death-1 antibody penpulimab (200 mg) and anlotinib (12 mg) after failing at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy. RESULTS Of 38 patients in total, 13 (34.21%) patients achieved partial response and 16 (42.11%) patients achieved stable disease. After a median follow-up of 7.06 months (range: 4.14-15.70 months), the independent review committee-assessed objective response rate was 34.21%, the disease control rate was 76.32%. The median progression-free survival was 8.35 months (95% confidence interval 5.95-13.11 months). Twelve patients died and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The 12-month OS rate was 59.76%. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 47.37% of the patients. CONCLUSION Penpulimab combined with anlotinib demonstrated promising efficacy and manageable safety in R/M HNSCC patients after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
The polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild p_{T} dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and p_{T} dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thymus is an immune organ in which pathological changes may cause autoimmune diseases, including myasthenia gravis (MG). Recent studies have focused on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling as the cause of such changes. In our previous study, an imbalance of T helper 17 (Th17) cells and T regulatory (Treg) cells was found in MG thymoma. These results suggest the involvement of TLR4 in the pathogenesis of thymoma MG via an alteration of the Th17/Treg balance. Here, we aimed to assess whether the TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB pathway is upregulated in MG thymoma and its relationship with Th17/Treg cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS We collect thymoma samples from 54 patients with or without MG, detecting the expression level of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB in thymoma tissues. Next, we established an in vitro experiment of coculturing thymoma cells with CD4+ T cells and detected the differentiation of Th17 cells and Treg cells and their marker protein, retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt) and forkhead transcription factor 3 (Foxp3). RESULTS We found TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB expressed more in MG thymoma compared with simple thymoma. After the transwell coculturing, we observed an imbalance of Th17/Treg cells after TLR4 stimulation. CONCLUSIONS TLR4 is stimulated in thymoma, causing an increase of Th17 cells and a decrease of Treg cells, namely an imbalance of Th17/Treg cells, resulting in MG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play pivotal roles in mediating interactions between dental epithelium and mesenchyme throughout tooth initiation and morphogenesis. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of FGF4 and FGF10 in the regulation of tooth development. DESIGN In this study, we investigated spatiotemporal expression patterns of FGF4 and FGF10 in the third deciduous molars (DM3) of miniature pigs at the cap, early bell, and late bell stages. Pregnant miniature pigs were obtained, and the samples were processed for histological staining. Non-radioactive in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and real-time PCR were used to detect mRNA and protein expression levels of FGF4 and FGF10. RESULTS FGF4 was expressed in the dental epithelium and mesenchyme at the cap stage. At the early bell stage, epithelial expression of FGF4 was reduced while mesenchymal expression got stronger. At the late bell stage, the FGF4 expression was restricted to the inner enamel epithelium (IEE) and differentiating odontoblasts. FGF10 was expressed intensely in both epithelium and mesenchyme at the cap stage. The expression of FGF10 was concentrated in the secondary enamel knots and surrounding mesenchyme at the early bell stage. FGF10 was weakly detected in the IEE by the late bell stage. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that FGF4 and FGF10 might have partially redundant functions in regulating epithelium morphogenesis. FGF4 may be involved in regulatory signaling cascades mediating interactions between the epithelium and mesenchyme. In addition, the downregulation of FGF10 expression may be associated with the cessation of mesenchymal cell proliferation and initiation of preodontoblast polarization.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is involved in the metabolism of >20% of marketed drugs. CYP2D6 expression and activity exhibit high interindividual variability and is induced during pregnancy. The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a transcriptional regulator of CYP2D6 that is activated by bile acids. In pregnancy, elevated plasma bile acid concentrations are associated with maternal and fetal risks. However, modest changes in bile acid concentrations may occur during healthy pregnancy, thereby altering FXR signaling. A previous study demonstrated that hepatic tissue concentrations of bile acids positively correlated with the hepatic mRNA expression of CYP2D6. This study sought to characterize the plasma bile acid metabolome in healthy women (n = 47) during midpregnancy (25-28 weeks gestation) and ≥3 months postpartum and to determine if plasma bile acids correlate with CYP2D6 activity. It is hypothesized that during pregnancy, plasma bile acids would favor less hydrophobic bile acids (cholic acid vs. chenodeoxycholic acid) and that plasma concentrations of cholic acid and its conjugates would positively correlate with the urinary ratio of dextrorphan/dextromethorphan. At 25-28 weeks gestation, taurine-conjugated bile acids comprised 23% of the quantified serum bile acids compared with 7% ≥3 months postpartum. Taurocholic acid positively associated with the urinary ratio of dextrorphan/dextromethorphan, a biomarker of CYP2D6 activity. Collectively, these results confirm that the bile acid plasma metabolome differs between pregnancy and postpartum and provide evidence that taurocholic acid may impact CYP2D6 activity during pregnancy. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Bile acid homeostasis is altered in pregnancy, and plasma concentrations of taurocholic acid positively correlate with CYP2D6 activity. Differences between plasma and/or tissue concentrations of farnesoid X receptor ligands such as bile acids may contribute to the high interindividual variability in CYP2D6 expression and activity.

Abstract
Sansanmycins represent a family of uridyl peptide antibiotics with antimicrobial activity specifically against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (including drug-resistant M. tuberculosis) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They target translocase I (MraY) to inhibit bacterial cell wall assembly. Given the unique mechanism of action, sansanmycin has emerged as a potential lead compound for developing new anti-tuberculosis drugs, while the 5'-aminouridine moiety plays a crucial role in the pharmacophore of sansanmycin. For expanding the structural diversity of the 5'-aminouridine moiety of sansanmycin through biosynthetic methods, we firstly demonstrated that SsaM and SsaK are responsible for the biosynthesis of the 5'-aminouridine moiety of sansanmycin in vivo. Using the ssaK deletion mutant (SS/KKO), we efficiently obtained a series of new analogues with modified 5'-aminouridine moieties through mutational biosynthesis. Based on molecular networking analysis of MS/MS, twenty-two new analogues (SS-KK-1 to -13 and SS-KK-A to -I) were identified. Among them, four new analogues (SS-KK-1 to -3 and SS-KK-C) were purified and bioassayed. SS-KK-2 showed better antibacterial activity against E. coli ΔtolC than the parent compound sansanmycin A. SS-KK-3 showed the same anti-TB activity as sansanmycin A against M. tuberculosis H37Rv as well as clinically isolated, drug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains. Furthermore, SS-KK-3 exhibited significantly improved structural stability compared to sansanmycin A. The results suggested that mutasynthesis is an effective and practical strategy for expanding the structural diversity of 5'-aminouridine moiety in sansanmycin.

Abstract
Variations with respect to perspective, lighting, weather, and interference from dynamic objects may all have an impact on the accuracy of the entire system during autonomous positioning and during the navigation of mobile visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) robots. As it is an essential element of visual SLAM systems, loop closure detection plays a vital role in eradicating front-end-induced accumulated errors and guaranteeing the map's general consistency. Presently, deep-learning-based loop closure detection techniques place more emphasis on enhancing the robustness of image descriptors while neglecting similarity calculations or the connections within the internal regions of the image. In response to this issue, this article proposes a loop closure detection method based on similarity differences between image blocks. Firstly, image descriptors are extracted using a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) model with effective loop closure detection. Subsequently, the image pairs with the greatest degree of similarity are evenly divided into blocks, and the level of similarity among the blocks is used to recalculate the degree of the overall similarity of the image pairs. The block similarity calculation module can effectively reduce the similarity of incorrect loop closure image pairs, which makes it easier to identify the correct loopback. Finally, the approach proposed in this article is compared with loop closure detection methods based on four distinct CNN models with a recall rate of 100% accuracy; said approach performs significantly superiorly. The application of the block similarity calculation module proposed in this article to the aforementioned four CNN models can increase the recall rate's accuracy to 100%; this proves that the proposed method can successfully improve the loop closure detection effect, and the similarity calculation module in the algorithm has a certain degree of universality.

Abstract
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) is recognized as a key member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family and is involved in tumor growth, migration, and angiogenesis. However, the results of ERK5 inhibition in multiple studies are controversial, and a highly specific ERK5-targeting agent is required to confirm physiological functions. Using proteolysis-targeting chimera technology, we designed the selective ERK5 degrader PPM-3 and examined its biological effect on cancer cells. Interestingly, the selective degradation of ERK5 with PPM-3 did not influence tumor cell growth directly. Based on proteomics analysis, the ERK5 deletion may be associated with tumor immunity. PPM-3 influences tumor development by affecting the differentiation of macrophages. Therefore, PPM-3 is an effective small-molecule tool for studying ERK5 and a promising immunotherapy drug candidate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Echinococcus multilocularis infection on Tim3 expression and its co-expression with immune checkpoint molecules 2B4 and LAG3 in spleen natural killer (NK) cells of mice. METHODS C57BL/6 mice, each weighing (20 ± 2) g, were randomly divided into a high-dose infection group (15 mice), a low-dose infection group (13 mice), and a control group (11 mice). Mice in the high- and low-dose infection groups were inoculated with 2 000 and 50 Echinococcus multilocularis protoscolices via the hepatic portal vein, while animals in the control group was injected with an equivalent amount of physiological saline via the hepatic portal vein. Mouse spleen cells were harvested 12 and 24 weeks post-infection, and Tim3 expression and its co-expression with 2B4 and LAG3 in NK cells were detected using flow cytometry. RESULTS There were significant differences in the proportions of Tim3 expression (F = 13.559, P < 0.001) and Tim3 and 2B4 co-expression (F = 12.465, P < 0.001) in mouse spleen NK cells among groups 12 weeks post-infection with E. multilocularis, and the proportion of Tim3 expression was significantly higher in mouse spleen NK cells in the low-dose infection group [(23.84 ± 2.28)%] than in the high-dose infection group [(15.72 ± 3.67)%] and the control group [(16.14 ± 3.83)%] (both P values < 0.01), while the proportion of Tim3 and 2B4 co-expression was significantly higher in mouse spleen NK cells in the low-dose infection group [(22.20 ± 2.13)%] than in the high-dose infection group [(14.17 ± 3.81)%] and the control group [(15.20 ± 3.77)%] (both P values < 0.01). There were significant differences in the proportions of Tim3 expression (F = 5.243, P < 0.05) and Tim3 and 2B4 co-expression (F = 4.659, P < 0.05) in mouse spleen NK cells among groups 24 weeks post-infection with E. multilocularis infection, and the proportions of Tim3 expression and Tim3 and 2B4 co-expression were significantly lower in mouse spleen NK cells in the high-dose infection group [(20.55 ± 7.04)% and (20.98 ± 7.12)%] than in the control group [(31.38 ± 3.19)% and (31.25 ± 3.06)%] (both P values < 0.05), and there were no significantly difference between the proportions of Tim3 expression and Tim3 and 2B4 co-expression in splenic NK cells in the low-dose infection group [(26.80 ± 6.47)% and (26.48 ± 6.48)%] and the control group (both P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in the proportions of Tim3 and LAG3 co-expression in mouse spleen NK cells among groups 12 (F = 2.283, P > 0.05) and 24 weeks post-infection (F = 0.375, P > 0.05). In the low-dose infection group, there were no significant differences in the proportions of Tim3 expression or Tim3 and 2B4 co-expression in mouse spleen NK cells 12 (t = -1.137, P > 0.05) or 24 weeks post-infection (t = -1.658, P > 0.05), and the proportion of Tim3 and LAG3 co-expression increased in mouse spleen NK cells 24 weeks post-infection relative to 12 weeks post-infection (t = -5.261, P < 0.01). In the highdose infection group, there was no significant difference in the proportion of Tim3 expression in mouse spleen NK cells 12 and 24 weeks post-infection (t = -1.546, P > 0.05); however, the proportions of Tim3 co-expression with 2B4 and LAG3 increased in mouse splenic NK cells 24 weeks post-infection relative to 12 weeks post-infection (t = -2.425 and -4.745, both P values < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The Tim3 expression and Tim3 co-expression with LAG3 and 2B4 on spleen NK cells is affected by doses of E. multilocularis infection and disease stages, and present different phenotypes during the course of alveolar echinococcosis. NK cells tend to form an immunosuppressive phenotype with the progression of E. multilocularis infection, which facilitates immune escape and chronic parasitism of E. multilocularis.

Abstract
Changes in the maternal metabolome, and specifically the maternal lipidome, that occur during pregnancy are relatively unknown. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of pregnancy on sphingolipid levels using metabolomics analysis followed by confirmational, targeted quantitative analysis. We focused on three subclasses of sphingolipids: ceramides, sphingomyelins, and sphingosines. Forty-seven pregnant women aged 18 to 50 years old participated in this study. Blood samples were collected on two study days for metabolomics analysis. The pregnancy samples were collected between 25 and 28 weeks of gestation and the postpartum study day samples were collected ≥3 months postpartum. Each participant served as their own control. These samples were analyzed using a Ultra-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy/mass spectroscopy (UPLC/MS/MS) assay that yielded semi-quantitative peak area values that were used to compare sphingolipid levels between pregnancy and postpartum. Following this lipidomic analysis, quantitative LC/MS/MS targeted/confirmatory analysis was performed on the same study samples. In the metabolomic analysis, 43 sphingolipid metabolites were identified and their levels were assessed using relative peak area values. These profiled sphingolipids fell into three categories: ceramides, sphingomyelins, and sphingosines. Of the 43 analytes measured, 35 were significantly different during pregnancy (p < 0.05) (including seven ceramides, 26 sphingomyelins, and two sphingosines) and 32 were significantly higher during pregnancy compared to postpartum. Following metabolomics, a separate quantitative analysis was performed and yielded quantified concentration values for 23 different sphingolipids, four of which were also detected in the metabolomics study. Quantitative analysis supported the metabolomics results with 17 of the 23 analytes measured found to be significantly different during pregnancy including 11 ceramides, four sphingomyelins, and two sphingosines. Fourteen of these were significantly higher during pregnancy. Our data suggest an overall increase in plasma sphingolipid concentrations with possible implications in endothelial function, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and fetal development. This study provides evidence for alterations in maternal sphingolipid metabolism during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed healing of diabetic cutaneous wounds is one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which can bring great distress to patients. In diabetic patients, macrophages accumulate around skin wounds and produce NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasomes, which in turn undergo pyroptosis and produce inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β that affect wound healing. Although our previous study revealed that apoptotic extracellular vesicles (ApoEVs) produced from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improve cutaneous wound healing in normal C57BL/6 mice, whether ApoEVs can also improve diabetic wound healing remains unclear. METHODS Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) were cultured in vitro and apoptosis was induced. ApoEVs were extracted and identified and used in a T2DM mouse cutaneous wound model to evaluate the efficacy. The inhibitory effect of ApoEVs on macrophage pyroptosis was verified in vivo and in vitro, and the level of oxidative stress in macrophages was assessed to explore the mechanism by which ApoEVs play a role. RESULTS UCMSC-derived ApoEVs improved skin defect healing in T2DM mice. Moreover, UCMSC-derived ApoEVs inhibited macrophage pyroptosis in T2DM mice in vivo as well as in vitro under high-glucose culture conditions. In addition, we demonstrated that ApoEVs reduce oxidative stress levels, which is a possible mechanism by which they inhibit macrophage pyroptosis. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirmed that local application of UCMSC-derived ApoEVs improved cutaneous wound healing in T2DM mice. ApoEVs, as products of MSC apoptosis, can inhibit macrophage pyroptosis and regulate the death process by decreasing the level of oxidative stress.
