Abstract
Phelipanche aegyptiaca can infect many crops, causing large agricultural production losses. It is important to study the parasitism mechanism of P. aegyptiaca to control its harm. In this experiment, the P. aegyptiaca HY13M and TE9M from Tacheng Prefecture and Hami City in Xinjiang, respectively, were used to analyze the parasitical mechanism of P. aegyptiaca by means of transcriptome and proteome analyses. The parasitic capacity of TE9M was significantly stronger than that of HY13M in Citrullus lanatus. The results showed that the DEGs and DEPs were prominently enriched in the cell wall metabolism pathways, including "cell wall organization or biogenesis", "cell wall organization", and "cell wall". Moreover, the functions of the pectinesterase enzyme gene (TR138070_c0_g), which is involved in the cell wall metabolism of P. aegyptiaca in its parasitism, were studied by means HIGS. The number and weight of P. aegyptiaca were significantly reduced when TR138070_c0_g1, which encodes a cell-wall-degrading protease, was silenced, indicating that it positively regulates P. aegyptiaca parasitism. Thus, these results suggest that the cell wall metabolism pathway is involved in P. aegyptiaca differentiation of the parasitic ability and that the TR138070_c0_g1 gene plays an important role in P. aegyptiaca's parasitism.

Abstract
The ForMAX beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory provides multiscale and multimodal structural characterization of hierarchical materials in the nanometre to millimetre range by combining small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering with full-field microtomography. The modular design of the beamline is optimized for easy switching between different experimental modalities. The beamline has a special focus on the development of novel fibrous materials from forest resources, but it is also well suited for studies within, for example, food science and biomedical research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a holoparasitic weed, broomrape has seriously threatened the production of economically important crops, such as melon, watermelon, processed tomato, and sunflower, in Xinjiang in recent years. However, the distribution and genetic diversity of broomrape populations in Xinjiang are not clear at present, which hinders their prevention and control. The purpose of this study was to identify the main species and the genetic differentiation structure of the broomrape population in Xinjiang. METHODS AND RESULTS In the present study, 93 samples from different geographic regions of Xinjiang were collected to identify the species based on ITS and plastid rps2 regions, and the samples were also used to analyze the genetic diversity based on ISSR markers. The results showed that broomrape is not monophyletic in Xinjiang and consists of two major clades (Orobanche cf. aegyptiaca and O. cernua) and three subclades (O. cf. aegyptiaca var. tch, O. cf. aegyptiaca var. klz, and O. cernua.var. alt) based on phylogenetic analysis. Furthermore, the results of the genetic diversity analysis indicated that the average polymorphic information content and marker index were high values of 0.58 and 7.38, respectively, showing the efficiency of the ISSR markers in detecting polymorphism among the broomrape population studied. Additionally, the 11 selected primers produced 154 repeatable polymorphic bands, of which 150 were polymorphic. The genetic diversity of the samples was 37.19% within populations and 62.81% among the populations, indicating that the main genetic differentiation occurred among the populations. There was less gene exchange between populations, with a gene flow index (Nm) of 0.2961 (< 1). The UPGMA dendrogram indicated that most populations with similar geographical conditions and hosts were clustered first, and then all samples were separated into two major groups and seven subclusters. CONCLUSION The broomrapes are mainly O. cf. aegyptiaca and O. cernua in Xinjiang, which were separated into two major groups and seven subclusters based on ISSR markers. Our results provide a theoretical basis for breeding broomrape-resistant varieties.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Bulky tumors remain challenging to be treated. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is effective against radioresistant tumor cells and can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) that leads to T-cell-mediated antitumor effects. Low-dose radiation (LDRT) can inflame the tumor microenvironment (TME) by recruiting T cells. We designed a novel radiotherapy technique (RT, ERT) whose dose distribution map resembles the "eclipse" by concurrently delivering LDRT to the whole tumor, meanwhile SBRT to only a part of the same tumor. This study examined the safety and efficacy of ERT to bulky lesions with PD-1 inhibitors in mice and patients. MATERIALS/METHODS In mice with CT26 colon or LLC1 lung bulky tumors (400 - 500 cm3), the whole tumor was irradiated by LDRT (2 Gy x 3), meanwhile the tumor center was irradiated by SBRT (10 Gy x 3); αPD-1 was given weekly. The dependence of therapeutic effects on CD8+ T cells was determined using depleting antibodies. Frequencies of CD8+ T cells and M1 macrophages (Mφ) were determined by flow cytometry. Multiplex Immunohistochemistry (mIHC) was applied to analyze the number and the location of CD8+ T cells and their subpopulations, as well as the phospho-eIF2α level (the ICD marker) of tumor cells in TME. Patients with advanced lung or liver bulky tumors who failed standard treatment or with oncologic emergencies were treated. Kaplan-Meier method was applied to estimate patients' progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS ERT/αPD-1 is superior to SBRT/αPD-1 or LDRT/αPD-1 in controlling bulky tumors in both mouse models in a CD8+ T-cell dependent manner. In the CT26 model, ERT/αPD-1 resulted in complete tumor regression in 3/11 mice and induced more CD8+ T cells and M1 Mφ in TME compared to other groups. mIHC analysis showed that ERT/αPD-1 induced higher bulk, stem-like (TCF1+ TIM3- PD-1+), and more differentiated (TCF1- TIM3+ PD-1+) CD8+ T cells infiltration into the tumor center and periphery compared to other groups. Compared to untreated or LDRT-treated tumor centers, tumor centers irradiated with ERT or SBRT showed elevated phospho-eIF2α accompanied by higher dendritic cell infiltration. In total, 39 advanced cancer patients were treated with ERT/αPD-1 or plus chemotherapy. Radiation-induced pneumonitis occurred in 1 of 26 patients receiving thoracic ERT. There were two cases of grade III toxicity associated with PD-1 inhibitors. No toxicity above grade III was observed. The objective response rate was 38.5%. The median PFS was 5.6 months and median OS was not reached at a median follow-up of 11.7 months. CONCLUSION ERT/αPD-1 showed superior efficacy in controlling bulky tumor in two mouse models. The hybrid immuno-RT (ERT) combing PD-1 inhibitors was safe and effective in patients with bulky tumors. Further clinical trials in combination with bioimaging to identify the optimal SBRT target region for the bulky tumor are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore differences in prevalence, resistance, biofilm-forming ability and virulence between carbapenem-non-susceptible and carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) in different clusters. METHODS Ninety-one carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates and an equal number of carbapenem-susceptible isolates and their clinical information were collected from a university teaching hospital in China. The strains were divided into different clusters based on hsp60 analysis. The agar dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations of common antibiotics. The crystal violet assay was used to measure biofilm-forming ability. The Galleria mellonella infection model and polymerase chain reaction of virulence genes were used to evaluate virulence. RESULTS The isolates were divided into 12 clusters based on hsp60 analysis. Cluster VIII accounted for a greater proportion of carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates than the other clusters. The same clusters exhibited different resistance rates in carbapenem-non-susceptible and carbapenem-susceptible isolates. Moreover, carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates carried fewer virulence genes than carbapenem-susceptible isolates, and carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates in cluster II in did not carry the detected virulence genes. Virulence of carbapenem-non-susceptible and carbapenem-susceptible isolates differed significantly in clusters I, III, VIII and IX, as evaluated using the G. mellonella infection model. Carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates in cluster VIII showed higher prevalence, resistance, biofilm-forming ability and pathogenicity compared with the other clusters. CONCLUSIONS The study findings indicate the need to identify subgroups of ECC, and provide better advice and guidance for the use of carbapenems.

Abstract
Sunflower broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) is a holoparasitic plant species which mainly parasitizes a few species of the Asteraceae in the wild and is exclusively found growing on sunflower in agricultural fields (Fernández-Martínez et al. 2015). O. cumana is a serious threat to sunflower production in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia (Shi et al. 2015). Karelinia caspia (Pall.) Less. (Asteraceae) is an ecologically important plant species occurring across the desert ecosystems of Russia, Central Asia, and northwest China. It plays an important role in reducing wind erosion and desertification (Xu et al. 2018). During the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons, sunflower broomrape was observed parasitizing K. caspia in non-cultivated areas adjacent to sunflower fields near Beitun city (87°51'E, 47°15'N) in Xinjiang, China. Sunflower broomrape plants were identified morphologically as O. cumana according to Pujadas-Salvà and Velasco (2000). The host plants were identified morphologically as K. caspia according to Lin et al (1979). The ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the trnL-F region of the parasite were amplified by PCR using primer pairs ITS1/ITS4 and trnL-FF/trnL-FR, respectively (Taberlet et al. 1991; Anderson et al. 2004). The ITS sequence of the parasite (Accession No. MT795725.1) showed 100% identity (675bp out of 689bp) to that of O. cernua var. cumana (KC811228.1). The trnl-F sequence of the parasite (Accession No. ON843707) showed 98% identity (675 of 689 bp) to O.cernua var. cumana (KT387722.1). Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis of the two sequences showed clustering with sunflower broomrape. The ITS region of the parasite and host was were amplified by PCR using the primer pair ITS1F/ITS4R (Taberlet et al.1991), and the ITS sequences of the host (Accession No. MT791995.1) showed 99.86% identity (728bp of 802bp) to that of K. caspia (LN607483.1). Rhizotron and pot experiments were carried out to assess the parasitic relationship between O. cumana and K. caspia. In the rhizotron experiment, 2-week-old seedlings of K. caspia were inoculated with sterilized 400 O. cumana seeds in a 15-cm petri dish filled with a sponge overlaid with glass fiber filter paper. The parasitic state of O. cumana was observed 9 days after inoculation. In another trial, seeds of K. caspia were sowed in 2-L and 4-L pots containing sand-vermiculite-compost (1:1:1 v:v:v). These pots were artificially inoculated with 50 mg of O. cumana seeds per 1 kg of substrate. After 20 and 70 days, corresponding to the early parasitic and flowering stages, respectively, of O. cumana, K. caspia plants were uprooted from the media and washed carefully. The parasitic relationship was confirmed by the attachment position of the broomrape to the K. caspia root. To our knowledge, this is the first report of O. cumana parasitizing K. caspia in Xinjiang, China. This phenomenon means that sunflower broomrape can raise up seed on a newly recognized host. Weed eradication in and near sunflower fields is a key measure to control sunflower broomrape.

Abstract
Parasites can interact with their host plants through the induction and delivery of secreted effector proteins that facilitate plant colonization by decomposing plant cell walls and inhibiting plant immune response to weaken the defense ability of the host. Yet effectors mediating parasitic plant-host interactions are poorly understood. Phelipanche aegyptiaca is an obligate root parasite plant causing severe yield and economic losses in agricultural fields worldwide. Host resistance against P. aegyptiaca occurred during the attachment period of parasitism. Comparative transcriptomics was used to assess resistant and susceptible interactions simultaneously between P. aegyptiaca and two contrasting melon cultivars. In total, 2,740 secreted proteins from P. aegyptiaca were identified here. Combined with transcriptome profiling, 209 candidate secreted effector proteins (CSEPs) were predicted, with functional annotations such as cell wall degrading enzymes, protease inhibitors, transferases, kinases, and elicitor proteins. A heterogeneous expression system in Nicotiana benthamiana was used to investigate the functions of 20 putatively effector genes among the CSEPs. Cluster 15140.0 can suppress BAX-triggered programmed cell death in N. benthamiana. These findings showed that the prediction of P. aegyptiaca effector proteins based on transcriptomic analysis and multiple bioinformatics software is effective and more accurate, providing insights into understanding the essential molecular nature of effectors and laying the foundation of revealing the parasite mechanism of P. aegyptiaca, which is helpful in understanding parasite-host plant interaction.

Abstract
Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides [L.] R.Br., [syn.: Solenostemon scutellarioides], Lamiaceae) is a popular ornamental plant for its colorful and showy foliage, and widely planted as a garden plant, and a medicinal herb in some countries, including India, Indonesia, Mexico (Zhu et al. 2015). In March 2022, parasitism of broomrape, on coleus plants was found in a greenhouse (86° 3' 36" E, 44° 18' 36" N, 500 m elevation) at Shihezi University, Xinjiang, China. A few plants (6%) were parasitized with 2.5 emerged broomrape shoots per host plant. The host-parasite connection was confirmed by microscopy. Morphological characteristics of the host were consistent with coleus described by Cao et al. (2023). The broomrapes were: stem simple and slender, slightly bulbous at the base, glandular-pubescent; inflorescence usually many-flowered, lax, dense in the upper third; bracts 8 to 10 mm long, ovate-lanceolate; calyx segments free, entire, seldom bifid with markedly unequal subulate teeth; corolla markedly curvate, dorsal line inflected, white at the base, bluish violet in the upper part; stamens adaxial with filaments 6 to 7 mm long; abaxial stamens with filaments 7 to 10 mm long; gynoecium 7 to 10 mm long; ovary 4 to 5 mm long, glabrous; style with short glandular hairs; stigma white, keyed to sunflower broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) (Pujadas-Salvà and Velasco 2000). Total genomic DNA of this parasite flowers was extracted and the trnL-F gene and ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region were amplified using the primer pairs C/F and ITS1/ITS4, respectively (Taberlet et al. 1991; Anderson et al. 2004). Sequences of ITS (655 bp) and trnL-F (901 bp) were obtained (GenBank ON491818 and ON843707). BLAST analysis showed the ITS sequence was identical to that of sunflower broomrape (MK567978.1), also the trnL-F sequence matched that of sunflower broomrape (MW809408.1, identity 100%). Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of the two sequences showed this parasite is clustered with sunflower broomrape. Together, morphological and molecular evidences confirmed the parasite on coleus plants was sunflower broomrape, a root holoparasitic plant with a narrow host range, which mainly posed a devastating threat to sunflower planting industry (Fernández-Martínez et al. 2015). To verify that coleus sunflower broomrape parasitic association, seedlings of this host were planted in 1.5-L pots containing compost-vermiculite-sand mixture (1:1:1 v:v:v) and sunflower broomrape seeds (50 mg seeds per 1 kg, soil). Three coleus seedlings, transplanted into pots without sunflower broomrape seeds, served as control. Ninety-six days later, the infected plants were smaller, their leaf color was observed to a lighter green than those of control plants and were similar to the broomrape-infected coleus plants observed in the greenhouse. The coleus roots with sunflower broomrape were carefully washed with running water, 10 to 15 emerged broomrape shoots and 14 to 22 underground attachments were observed on the coleus roots. The parasite grew well in coleus roots, from germination, attachment to host roots, and tubercles development. At the tubercle stage, the endophyte of sunflower broomrape had connected with the vascular bundle of the coleus root, confirming the sunflower broomrape-coleus connection. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first report of sunflower broomrape parasitizing coleus in Xinjiang, China. This indicates that sunflower broomrape can be propagated and survived by coleus, in fields or greenhouses with sunflower broomrape. To limit the spread of sunflower broomrape, preventive field management is needed for the coleus farmlands and greenhouse where the root holoparasite is prevalent.

Abstract
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important crop in Xinjiang, China, but its production is constrained by the parasitic plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca that attaches to the roots of many crops and causes severe stunting and loss of yield. Rhizotron, pot, and field experiments were employed to evaluate the resistance of 27 melon cultivars to P. aegyptiaca. Then, the resistant and susceptible cultivars were inoculated with P. aegyptiaca from six populations to assess their resistance stability and broad spectrum. Further microscopic and histological analyses were used to clarify the resistance phenotypes and histological structure. The results showed that Huangpi 9818 and KR1326 were more resistant to P. aegyptiaca compared to other cultivars in the rhizotron, pot, and field experiments. In addition, compared to the susceptible cultivar K1076, Huangpi 9818 and KR1326 showed broad-spectrum resistance to six P. aegyptiaca populations. These two resistant cultivars had lower P. aegyptiaca biomass and fewer and smaller P. aegyptiaca attachments on their roots compared to susceptible cultivar K1076. KR1326 (resistant) and K1076 (susceptible) were selected to further study resistance phenotypes and mechanisms. Germination-inducing activity of root exudates and microscopic analysis showed that the resistance in KR1326 was not related to low induction of P. aegyptiaca germination. The tubercles of parasite on KR1326 were observed slightly brown at 14 days after inoculation (DAI), the necrosis and arrest of parasite development occurred at 23 DAI. Histological analysis of necrosis tubercles showed that the endophyte of parasite had reached host central cylinder, connected with host xylem, and accumulation of secretions and callose were detected in neighbouring cells. We concluded that KR1326 is an important melon cultivar for P. aegyptiaca resistance that could be used to expand the genetic basis of cultivated muskmelon for resistance to the parasite.

Abstract
Systems of correlated particles appear in many fields of modern science and represent some of the most intractable computational problems in nature. The computational challenge in these systems arises when interactions become comparable to other energy scales, which makes the state of each particle depend on all other particles1. The lack of general solutions for the three-body problem and acceptable theory for strongly correlated electrons shows that our understanding of correlated systems fades when the particle number or the interaction strength increases. One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multiparticle bound states2-9. Here we develop a high-fidelity parameterizable fSim gate and implement the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-½ XXZ model in a ring of 24 superconducting qubits. We study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to five photons. We devise a phase-sensitive method for constructing the few-body spectrum of the bound states and extract their pseudo-charge by introducing a synthetic flux. By introducing interactions between the ring and additional qubits, we observe an unexpected resilience of the bound states to integrability breaking. This finding goes against the idea that bound states in non-integrable systems are unstable when their energies overlap with the continuum spectrum. Our work provides experimental evidence for bound states of interacting photons and discovers their stability beyond the integrability limit.

Abstract
Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. Leveraging such protection requires testing its robustness against uncontrolled environmental interactions. Using 47 superconducting qubits, we implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model, which exhibits nonlocal Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with
ℤ
2
parity symmetry. We find that any multiqubit Pauli operator overlapping with the MEMs exhibits a uniform late-time decay rate comparable to single-qubit relaxation rates, irrespective of its size or composition. This characteristic allows us to accurately reconstruct the exponentially localized spatial profiles of the MEMs. Furthermore, the MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism. Our work elucidates the complex interplay between noise and symmetry-protected edge modes in a solid-state environment.

Abstract
Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides [L.] R.Br.[syn.: Solenostemon scutellarioides]) is a perennial plant in the Lamiaceae family. It produces variegated leaves of various colors. It is commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant or grown in commercial greenhouses (Garibaldi et al. 2019). Phelipanche aegyptiaca Pers. is a dicotyledonous holoparasitic flowering plant that parasitizes more than 30 food crops (e.g., tomato, sunflower, and chickpea), ornamental crops, and others in different parts of the world, causing heavy economic losses (Nosratti et al. 2020). In 2016 and 2017, broomrape was observed parasitizing coleus in the greenhouse (86° 3' 36" E, 44° 18' 36" N, 500 m elevation) in Shihezi, Xinjiang, China (Supplementary Figure 1A-D). A single coleus plant could be parasitized by average 6-10 broomrape plants, and 20% of coleus plants were infested. The infection was confirmed by verifying the attachment of the broomrape to the coleus root. The inflorescences of the broomrape were normal and healthy and produced germinable seeds (germination rate: 80-90%). The morphological characteristics of the coleus are shown in Supplementary Figures 6 and 7. The main botanical features of the broomrape are as follows: (i) stem 20.65±7.07 cm tall, erect, branched, frail, rather hairy, bulbous at the base with secondary roots; (ii) inflorescence usually many-flowered, lax and cylindrical; (iii) bracts 6.87±0.93 mm long, ovate to lanceolate; (iv) calyx 1.09±0.09 cm long, shortly campanulate; (v) corolla 3.38±0.19 cm long, erect to suberect, white at the base, blue-purple in the upper part, sparsely glandular-villous; (vi) stamens 4, filaments inserted 5-6 mm from the base of the corolla, 1.26±0.11 cm long, anthers with villous; (vii) pistil 2.9±0.15 cm long, ovary glabrous, style with short glandular hairs, stigma bilobed, white (Supplementary Figure 2) (Teimoury et al. 2012; Piwowarczyk et al. 2019). For molecular identification, total genomic DNA was extracted from the flowers of the broomrape (found parasitizing coleus plants), and the ribosomal protein S2 (rps2) and ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region were amplified by PCR using the primer pairs rps2F/rps2R, ITS1/ITS4 (Table 1) (Park et al. 2007; Anderson et al. 2004). Two sequences with 580 bp (ITS) and 443 bp (rps2) were obtained (GenBank accession No. MW811482 and MW883573). BLAST analysis showed that the ITS sequence was most similar (identity 100%) to P. aegyptiaca (KC811171) and the rps2 sequence (identity 99%) also matched that of P. aegyptiaca (KC814957). Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS regions and rps2 genes showed that broomrape was fallen into P. aegyptiaca groups (Supplementary Figure 3). Morphological and molecular findings strongly support the conclusion that the broomrape on coleus was P. aegyptiaca. In order to verify that coleus was a host of P. aegyptiaca, coleus seedlings were collected and moved to 1.5-L pots containing a mixture of compost-vermiculite-sand (1:1:1 v:v:v) and seeds of P. aegyptiaca harvested from the host coleus (50 mg of P. aegyptiaca seeds per 1 kg of the substrate). Another three coleus seedlings were transplanted into pots of the same size containing the same mixture as above without P. aegyptiaca seeds. These served as controls. After 90 days of inoculation, the leaves of the infected hosts were lighter in color than those of uninfected hosts (Supplementary Figures 4A, 6). The roots of coleus and P. aegyptiaca were carefully washed with water, and an average of 3-4 emerged broomrape shoots and 50-60 underground attachments were observed on coleus roots (Supplementary Figure 4B). P. aegyptiaca can develop normally in the root of the coleus plant, from germination through attachment to host roots and development of tubercles (Supplementary Figure 5 A-E). Longitudinal and transverse sections of the parasite and host roots at the tubercle stage revealed that the endophytic tissues of P. aegyptiaca had reached and connected to the host vascular bundle (Supplementary Figure 5F-I), confirming the normal biological development and function of P. aegyptiaca haustoria. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of P. aegyptiaca parasitizing coleus in Xinjiang, China. Coleus is a very widely cultivated horticultural ornamental plant, and it grows in the same environments favored by P. aegyptiaca; so, the plant can aid the transmission of P. aegyptiaca to previously clear regions. It is necessary to improve the management of coleus in places where P. aegyptiaca is prevalent so as to reduce its spread. References: Garibaldi, A., et al. 2019.

Abstract
Parasitic broomrape of the genus Orobanche poses a formidable threat to producing many crops in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Orobanche cumana and Phelipanche aegyptiaca are two of China's most destructive root parasitic plants, causing extreme sunflower, tomato, melon, and tobacco damage. However, the potentially suitable areas of O. cumana and P. aegyptiaca in China have not been predicted, and little is known about the important environmental factors that affect their extension. Due to their invasiveness and economic importance, studying how climate change and host plants may affect broomrapes’ distribution is necessary. In the study, we first predicted the potentially suitable areas of the invasive weeds (O. cumana and P. aegyptiaca) and their susceptible host plants (Helianthus annuus and Solanum lycopersicon) using MaxEnt. Then, the risk zones and distribution shifts of two broomrapes under different climate conditions were identified by incorporating the distribution of their susceptible host plants. The results highlighted that the potential middle‐ and high‐risk zones for O. cumana and P. aegyptiaca amounted to 197.88 × 104 km2 and 12.90 × 104 km2, respectively. Notably, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia were the highest‐risk areas within the distribution and establishment of O. cumana and P. aegyptiaca. Elevation and topsoil pH were the decisive factors for shaping O. cumana distribution; precipitation seasonality and annual precipitation were the dominant bioclimatic variables limiting the spread of P. aegyptiaca. The potentially suitable areas and risk zones of O. cumana would decrease significantly, and those of P. aegyptiaca would fluctuate slightly under future climate change scenarios. Overall, our study suggested that the two broomrapes’ risk zones will significantly northward to higher latitudes. The results will provide suggestions for preventing O. cumana and P. aegyptiaca.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of modified endoscopic technique with a single portal from an external carpal tunnel approach for surgical operations in a suprafascial plane superficial to the transverse carpal ligament. Reversible nerve injury risk is threefold greater with a conventional endoscopic method than with open carpal tunnel release (OCTR), and this suprafascial plane endoscopic release (SPER) should circumvent the problem of hardware in the carpal tunnel encountered with the conventional endoscopic method and liable to cause iatrogenic damage to the median nerve. However, the surgical consequences of the new technique have not been studied. To fill this gap, a retrospective therapeutic study was conducted to compare negative outcomes versus open surgery. The Accordion Severity Grading System was used to grade complications from 0 to 3 according to necessity of treatment. Sequela and failure rates were also compared between the SPER and OCTR groups. Eighty-eight cases in 72 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (ICTS) met the inclusion criteria. SPER was performed in 28 hands in 27 patients, and OCTR in 60 hands in 49 patients. The results showed no significant difference in complication, sequela, or failure rates between groups (p > 0.05). Suprafascial plane endoscopic release, has certain advantages over the open method and was validated as a safe and effective method of treating ICTS.

Abstract
The study employed a rat model to examine the effects of taurine (Tau) on prevention and therapy of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In model rats maintained on a high-fat diet (HFD), the serum levels of ALT, AST, triglycerides, cholesterol, and LDL were higher than the corresponding levels in normal control and NP groups (p<0.05). In Tau-prevention and Tau-treatment groups, the serum levels of AST and triglycerides were lower than in HFD rats (p<0.05). In HFD rats, diffuse fatty degeneration and infiltration with inflammatory cells was observed in the liver; in the ileal mucosa, the villi were fractured or absent, the epithelium was exfoliated and infiltrated with inflammatory cells. The levels of TGF-β, IL-9, and their mRNA in the liver and ileal mucosa of HFD rats were significantly higher than in normal control and NP groups (p<0.05). In Tau-prevention and Tau-treatment groups, these levels were significantly lower than in HFD rats (p<0.05). Thus, TGF-β and IL-9 can be implicated in NAFLD genesis, while Tau can preventively or therapeutically diminish the damage to the liver and ileal mucosa in rats with this disease by down-regulating the expression of TGF-β and IL-9.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate serum levels of von Willebrand factor lytic protease (ADAMTS13) and thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) in patients with different types of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their correlation with the patients' clinical prognosis. OBJECTIVE According to their disease history, results of angiography and clinical biochemical tests, a total of 405 patients undergoing coronary angiography, were divided into unstable angina (UAP) group (n=215), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group (n=96), and angiographically normal group (n=94). Serum ADAMTS13 and TSP1 levels were detected in all the patients, who were followed up for 15 months to evaluate the occurrence of long-term major cardiac adverse events (MACE). OBJECTIVE Serum ADAMTS13 level was significantly lower and TSP1 level was significantly higher in AMI group and UAP group than in the normal group (P < 0.001). Serum ADAMTS13 and TSP1 levels were negative correlated in ACS patients (R=-0.577, P < 0.001). The patients experiencing MACE had significantly different serum TSP1 level from those without MACE (P < 0.05). Cox proportion regression model analysis showed that TSP1 was a risk factor affecting the occurrence of MACE in ACS patients; Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the patients with high levels of TSP1 had a higher incidence of longterm MACE than those with low TSP1 levels. OBJECTIVE A lowered serum ADAMTS13 level and an elevated TSP1 level can support the diagnosis of ACS. An elevated TSP1 level may serve as an indicator for predicting the risk of MACE in patients with ACS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES An assay was conducted to show the comparisons the effects of nine metal ions on antagonistic metabolites (lipopeptides, siderophores and gibberellins) by Bacillus atrophaeus strain B44 using well-diffusion assays, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis, chrome azurol S plus mannitol salt agar (CAS-MSA) tests, and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) analysis. This assay is also designed to demonstrate the biocontrol efficacy of B44 against cotton rhizoctoniosis using pot culture tests. RESULTS Both the lipopeptide yield and the antimicrobial activity of B44 increase with the MnSO4, MgSO4, CaCO3, and CuSO4 treatments and either have no effect or decreased lipopeptide yield and antimicrobial activity with the FeSO4, K2HPO4, KCl, KH2PO4 and ZnSO4 treatments. The medium containing MgSO4 has no significant effect on either the lipopeptide yield or antimicrobial activity. MALDI-TOF-MS analysis shows a broad range of m/z peaks, indicating that strain B44 produces a complex mixture of iturin, surfactin, and fengycin lipopeptides. Gibberellin production by strain B44 varies greatly depending on the culture medium, and the siderophore production is not significantly affected by the culture medium. Pot tests show that lipopeptide production affects the disease control efficacy of strain B44. CONCLUSION The biocontrol efficacy of B. atrophaeus strain B44 is related to the lipopeptide yield. Moreover, B. atrophaeus strain B44 significantly increases the size of cotton seedlings, which is related to the GA3 concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Efficient detection of metastases is important for patient' treatment. This prospective study was to explore the clinical value of contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR in imaging brain metastases using half-dose gadobenate dimeglumine. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vitro signal intensity of various gadolinium concentrations was explored by spin-echo T1-weighted imaging and T2 FLAIR. Then, 46 patients with lung cancer underwent nonenhanced T2 FLAIR before administration of half-dose gadobenate dimeglumine and 3 consecutive contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR sequences followed by 1 spin-echo T1WI after administration of half-dose gadobenate dimeglumine. After an additional dose of 0.05 mmol/kg, 3D brain volume imaging was performed. All brain metastases were classified as follows: solid-enhancing, ≥ 5 mm (group A); ring-enhancing, ≥ 5 mm (group B); and lesion diameter of <5 mm (group C). The contrast ratio of the lesions on 3 consecutive phases of contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR was measured, and the percentage increase of contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR among the 3 groups was compared. RESULTS In vitro, the maximal signal intensity was achieved in T2 FLAIR at one-eighth to one-half of the contrast concentration needed for maximal signal intensity in T1WI. In vivo, the mean contrast ratio values of metastases on contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR for the 3 consecutive phases ranged from 63.64% to 83.05%. The percentage increase (PI) values of contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR were as follows: PIA < PIB (P = .001) and PIA < PIC (P < .001). The degree of enhancement of brain metastases on contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR was lower than on 3D brain volume imaging (P < .001) in group A, and higher than on 3D brain volume imaging (P < .001) in group C. CONCLUSIONS Small or ring-enhancing metastases can be better visualized on delayed contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR using a half-dose high-relaxivity contrast agent.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Napping is a habit prevalent worldwide and occurs from an early age. Some sleep specialists have suggested it as a potential public health tool due to the prevalence of sleep disorder. However, the association between napping and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality remains unclear.
Purpose
To assess the association between napping and the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality.
Methods
We conducted a systematic search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases from inception through December 2019 for prospective cohort studies investigating the association between napping and the risk of CVD and/or all-cause mortality. Overall estimates were calculated using random effect models with inverse variance weighting. Dose-response meta-analysis was performed using restricted cubic spline models. The results were reported as hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results
A total of 313651 participants (57.8% female, 38.9% took naps) from 20 cohort studies were included in the analysis. Overall, pooled analysis detected no association between daytime nap and CVD (HR 1.13, 95% CI 0.99–1.28). However, in subgroup analysis including only participants who were female (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.09–1.58), older (age>65 years) (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.07–1.72), or took a longer nap (nap time>60 minutes) (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.05–1.63), napping was significantly associated with a higher risk of CVD comparing to not napping. All-cause mortality was associated with napping overall (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.12–1.26), and effect sizes were even more pronounced in females (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.13–1.31), older participants (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.11–1.45) and those who took a long nap (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.12–1.47). Furthermore, after stratifying participants by night sleep time (<6 and >6h/day), no significant association was detected except those who slept >6h/day at night and took a long nap (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.03–1.24). Dose-response analysis showed a J-curve relation between nap time and CVD (Figure 1). The HR decreased from 0 to 25 min/day, followed by a sharp increase in the risk at longer times. A positive linear relationship between nap time and all-cause mortality was also observed.
Conclusion
Long napping over 60 minutes per day is associated with increased risks of CVD and all-cause mortality. Night sleep duration may play a role in the relation between napping and all-cause mortality. Further, large-scale prospective cohort studies need to confirm our conclusion and investigate the underlying mechanisms driving these associations.

Abstract
The presentation of multiple café-au-lait macules (CALMs) in children is a common reason for referral to a dermatologist. Segmental CALMs, a subtype of CALMs, is usually limited to a specific part of the body. Mosaic neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1; OMIM 162200) is a common congenital disorder associated with segmental CALMs with an incidence of about 1 case/40000 patients, which is lower than the prevalence of patients with germline NF1 mutations1,2 .

Abstract
Quantum algorithms offer a dramatic speedup for computational problems in material science and chemistry. However, any near-term realizations of these algorithms will need to be optimized to fit within the finite resources offered by existing noisy hardware. Here, taking advantage of the adjustable coupling of gmon qubits, we demonstrate a continuous two-qubit gate set that can provide a threefold reduction in circuit depth as compared to a standard decomposition. We implement two gate families: an imaginary swap-like (iSWAP-like) gate to attain an arbitrary swap angle, θ, and a controlled-phase gate that generates an arbitrary conditional phase, ϕ. Using one of each of these gates, we can perform an arbitrary two-qubit gate within the excitation-preserving subspace allowing for a complete implementation of the so-called Fermionic simulation (fSim) gate set. We benchmark the fidelity of the iSWAP-like and controlled-phase gate families as well as 525 other fSim gates spread evenly across the entire fSim(θ,ϕ) parameter space, achieving a purity-limited average two-qubit Pauli error of 3.8×10^{-3} per fSim gate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism. However, little is known about the role that exosomes play in the process of TSH-induced lipotoxicity in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). As a preliminary step, the present study set out to investigate alterations in protein expression in exosomes derived from TSH-stimulated HepG2 cells. METHODS HepG2 cells were treated with TSH, exosomes were collected, and proteins were identified by mass spectrometry (MS). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed to analyze the identified proteins. RESULTS TSH treatment significantly increased exosomal production and changed the exosomal proteomic profile in HepG2 cells. Among the 1728 proteins, 140 identified proteins were upregulated and seven proteins were downregulated. GO analysis and KEGG analysis revealed that these proteins were involved in multiple processes including metabolism, apoptosis, and inflammation. CONCLUSION Our preliminary study demonstrated that exosomes derived from TSH-stimulated hepatocytes were increased and showed a specific altered spectrum of proteins, many of which were involved in metabolism, signal transduction, apoptosis, and inflammation. This study offers new insights into the pathogenesis of TSH-induced lipotoxicity in NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory disease with diverse phenotypes. However, its biological diversity has not been well-characterized in Chinese psoriasis population. OBJECTIVES To characterize psoriasis biological heterogenicity using gene expression profiles of lesional skin biopsy specimens in a Chinese psoriasis population. METHODS Lesional tissues and blood samples from Chinese psoriasis patients (n = 40), atopic dermatitis (AD) patients (n = 25) and age-matched healthy controls (n = 19) were investigated by using real-time PCR array, histological evaluation and flow cytometry. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering was performed using gene expression profiles of patients with psoriasis. RESULTS Two distinct psoriasis clusters were identified. Both clusters indicated high TH 17 activation. One cluster (n = 6 of 40 consecutive psoriasis patients) indicated a strong TH 2 component in skin lesions, with early onset and low peripheral blood eosinophil level. Significantly higher IL-4, IL-13, IL-25, IL-31 and TSLP gene induction typified this cluster of psoriasis patients, even compared with AD patients. Both psoriasis clusters were characterized by neutrophilic microabscess formation. Histologically, the TH 2 high psoriasis cluster indicated a low percentage of perivascular eosinophils. CONCLUSIONS Two distinct psoriasis clusters were identified. One presented early onset and a low eosinophil level, indicating TH 17 polarization and a strong TH 2 component. These results laid the foundation for further demonstrating the pathogenesis of psoriasis in Chinese population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multiple primary colorectal cancers (MPCCs) are different from solitary colorectal cancers in many aspects, which are not well studied. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinicopathological features and prognosis of MPCCs. METHODS The data of 64 patients with MPCCs out of 2300 patients with colorectal cancers (CRCs) from January 2009 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Stratified analysis was conducted based on subtypes and microsatellite status. RESULTS The overall incidence of MPCC was 2.8% and the median follow-up duration was 51.5 (range 1-120) months. Metachronous CRCs (MCRCs) are more likely to appear in the right colon (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences regarding age, sex, BMI, tumor size, smoking/drinking history, TNM stage, family history of cancer, and 5-year survival rate were observed between synchronous CRC (SCRC) and MCRC. Advanced TNM stage (III) and the presence of polyps were found to be independent poor prognostic factors for MPCCs. The prevalence of mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) in MPCCs was 28.1%. Deficient MMR is more likely to appear in younger, lighter MPCC patients with polyps (p < 0.05). Of four mismatch repair proteins, MLH-1, MSH-2, MSH-6, and PMS-2 were negative in nine, nine, five, and nine patients, respectively. The 5-year survival rate did not differ significantly between MMR-proficient (pMMR) and dMMR groups (p = 0.752). CONCLUSIONS Synchronous CRC (SCRC) and MCRC might represent similar disease entities with different courses. Deficient MMR is more likely to appear in younger, lighter MPCC patients with polyps and it is an essential indicator for screening Lynch syndrome.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) could affect storage root growth and development of sweet potato. To manage external N concentration fluctuations, plants have developed a wide range of strategies, such as growth changes and gene expression. Five sweet potato cultivars were used to analyse the functions of N in regulating storage root growth. Growth responses and physiological indicators were measured to determine the physiological changes regulated by different N concentrations. Expression profiles of related genes were analysed via microarray hybridization data and qRT-PCR analysis to reveal the molecular mechanisms of storage root growth regulated by different N concentrations. The growth responses and physiological indicators of the five cultivars were changed by N concentration. The root fresh weight of two of the sweet potato cultivars, SS19 and GS87, was higher under low N concentrations compared with the other cultivars. SS19 and GS87 were found to be having greater tolerance to low N concentration. The expression of N metabolism and storage root growth related genes was regulated by N concentration in sweet potato. These results reveal that N significantly regulated storage root growth. SS19 and GS87 were more tolerant to low N concentration and produced greater storage root yield (at 30 days). Furthermore, several N response genes were involved in both N metabolism and storage root growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is emerging as an important public health problem, and evidences have determined that poor sleep is associated with muscle strength, but the potential effects of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), snoring and witnessed apnea on handgrip strength have not been evaluated. AIM We aimed to examine the association between EDS, snoring, witnessed apnea and muscle strength in an adult population. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS This cross-sectional study comprised 19 434 adults. Handgrip strength was measured using a handheld digital dynamometer. EDS was assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale, snoring and witnessed apnea during sleep were reported through simple yes/no questions. Analysis of covariance was carried out to determine the association between EDS with snoring or witnessed apnea and muscle strength. RESULTS The means (95% confidence interval) for average handgrip strength/body weight (kg/kg) across symptoms categories were 0.396 (0.333-0.472), 0.393 (0.330-0.467), 0.396 (0.333-0.471) and 0.386 (0.325-0.460) (P < 0.0001), respectively. Similar results were observed with maximal handgrip strength/body weight (kg/kg). CONCLUSIONS Self-reported EDS accompanied with snoring or apnea is associated with lowest handgrip strength, independently of confounding factors. Whether improvement of EDS, snoring and apnea, can ameliorate age-associated decline in muscle strength warrants further studies.
