Abstract
Epigenetic dysregulation drives aberrant transcriptional programs playing a critical role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which may provide novel insights into the heterogeneity of HCC. This study performed an integrated exploration on the epigenetic dysregulation of miRNA and methylation. We discovered and validated three patterns endowed with gene-related transcriptional traits and clinical outcomes. Specially, a stemness/epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) subtype was featured by immune exhaustion and the worst prognosis. Besides, MMP12, a characteristic gene, was highly expressed in the stemness/EMT subtype, which was verified as a pivotal regulator linked to the unfavorable prognosis and further proven to promote tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis in vitro experiments. Proteomic analysis by mass spectrometry sequencing also indicated that the overexpression of MMP12 was significantly associated with cell proliferation and adhesion. Taken together, this study unveils innovative insights into epigenetic dysregulation and identifies a stemness/EMT subtype-specific gene, MMP12, correlated with the progression and prognosis of HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated as essential roles in tumor immune microenvironments (TIME). Nevertheless, researches on the clinical significance of TIME-related lncRNAs are limited in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). METHODS Single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing data are integrated to identify TIME-related lncRNAs. A total of 1368 LUAD patients are enrolled from 6 independent datasets. An integrative machine learning framework is introduced to develop a TIME-related lncRNA signature (TRLS). RESULTS This study identified TIME-related lncRNAs from integrated analysis of single‑cell and bulk RNA sequencing data. According to these lncRNAs, a TIME-related lncRNA signature was developed and validated from an integrative procedure in six independent cohorts. TRLS exhibited a robust and reliable performance in predicting overall survival. Superior prediction performance barged TRLS to the forefront from comparison with general clinical features, molecular characters, and published signatures. Moreover, patients with low TRLS displayed abundant immune cell infiltration and active lipid metabolism, while patients with high TRLS harbored significant genomic alterations, high PD-L1 expression, and elevated DNA damage repair (DDR) relevance. Notably, subclass mapping analysis of nine immunotherapeutic cohorts demonstrated that patients with high TRLS were more sensitive to immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS This study developed a promising tool based on TIME-related lncRNAs, which might contribute to tailored treatment and prognosis management of LUAD patients.

Abstract
In recent years, wearable sensors have revolutionized health monitoring by enabling continuous, real-time tracking of human health and performance. These noninvasive devices are usually designed to monitor human physical state and biochemical markers. However, enhancing their functionalities often demands intricate customization by designers and additional expenses for users. Here, we present a strategy using assembled modular circuits to customize health monitoring wearables. The modular circuits can be effortlessly reconfigured to meet various specific requirements, facilitating the incorporation of diverse functions at a lower cost. To validate this approach, modular circuits were employed to develop four distinct systems for in vitro evaluations. These systems enabled the detection of sweat biomarkers and physical signals under various scenarios, including sedentary state, exercise, and daily activities with or without incorporating iontophoresis to induce sweat. Four key sweat markers (K+, Ca2+, Na+, and pH) and three essential physical indicators (heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and skin temperature) are selected as the detection targets. Commercial methods were also used to evaluate the potential for effective health monitoring with our technique. This reconfigurable modular wearable (ReModuWear) system promises to provide more easy-to-use and comprehensive health assessments. Additionally, it may contribute to environmental sustainability by reusing modules.

Abstract
The intricate crosstalk of various cell death forms was recently implicated in cancers, laying a foundation for exploring the association between cell death and cancers. Recent evidence has demonstrated that biological networks outperform snapshot gene expression profiles at discovering promising biomarkers or heterogenous molecular subtypes across different cancer types. In order to investigate the behavioral patterns of cell death-related interaction perturbation in colorectal cancer (CRC), this study constructed the interaction-perturbation network with 11 cell death pathways and delineated four cell death network (CDN) derived heterogeneous subtypes (CDN1-4) with distinct molecular characteristics and clinical outcomes. Specifically, we identified a subtype (CDN4) endowed with high autophagy activity and the worst prognosis. Furthermore, AOC3 was identified as a potential autophagy-related biomarker, which demonstrated exceptional predictive performance for CDN4 and significant prognostic value. Overall, this study sheds light on the complex interplay of various cell death forms and reveals an autophagy-related gene AOC3 as a critical prognostic marker in CRC.

Abstract
Approximately 10-15% of stage II and 25-30% of stage III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients experience recurrence within 5 years after surgery, and existing taxonomies are insufficient to meet the needs of clinical precision treatment. Thus, robust biomarkers and precise management were urgently required to stratify stage II and III CRC and identify potential patients who will benefit from postoperative adjuvant therapy. Alongside, interactions of ligand-receptor pairs point to an emerging direction in tumor signaling with far-reaching implications for CRC, while their impact on tumor subtyping has not been elucidated. Herein, based on multiple large-sample multicenter cohorts and perturbations of the ligand-receptor interaction network, four well-characterized ligand-receptor-driven subtypes (LRDS) were established and further validated. These molecular taxonomies perform with unique heterogeneity in terms of molecular characteristics, immune and mutational landscapes, and clinical features. Specifically, MEIS2, a key LRDS4 factor, performs significant associations with proliferation, invasion, migration, and dismal prognosis of stage II/III CRC, revealing promising directions for prognostic assessment and individualized treatment of CRC patients. Overall, our study sheds novel insights into the implications of intercellular communication on stage II/III CRC from a ligand-receptor interactome perspective and revealed MEIS2 as a key factor in the aggressive progression and prognosis for stage II/III CRC.

Abstract
Most gastric cancer (GC) subtypes are identified through transcriptional profiling overlooking dynamic changes and interactions in gene expression. Based on the background network of global immune genes, we constructed sample-specific edge-perturbation matrices and identified four molecular network subtypes of GC (MNG). MNG-1 displayed the best prognosis and vigorous cell cycle activity. MNG-2 was enriched by immune-hot phenotype with the potential for immunotherapy response. MNG-3 and MNG-4 were identified with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) peculiarity and worse prognosis, termed EMT subtypes. MNG-3 was characterized by low mutational burden and stromal cells and considered a replica of previous subtypes associated with poor prognosis. Notably, MNG-4 was considered a previously undefined subtype with a dismal prognosis, characterized by chromosomal instability and immune-desert microenvironment. This subtype tended to metastasize and was resistant to respond to immunotherapy. Pharmacogenomics analysis showed three therapeutic agents (NVP-BEZ235, LY2606368, and rutin) were potential interventions for MNG-4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play an important role in tumor immune modification. Nonetheless, the clinical implication of immune-associated lncRNAs in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains to be further explored. METHODS 76 combinations of machine learning algorithms were integrated to develop and validate a machine learning-derived immune-related lncRNA signature (MDILS) in five independent cohorts (n = 801). We collected 28 published signatures and collated clinical variables for comparison with MDILS to verify its efficacy. Subsequently, molecular mechanisms, immune status, mutation landscape, and pharmacological profile were further investigated in different stratified patients. RESULTS Patients with high MDILS displayed worse overall survival than those with low MDILS. The MDILS could independently predict overall survival and convey robust performance across five cohorts. MDILS has a significantly better performance compared with traditional clinical variables and 28 published signatures. Patients with low MDILS exhibited more abundant immune infiltration and higher potency of immunotherapeutic response, while patients with high MDILS might be more sensitive to multiple chemotherapeutic drugs (e.g., sunitinib and axitinib). CONCLUSION MDILS is a robust and promising tool to facilitate clinical decision-making and precision treatment of RCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the utility of the eosinophil percentage in peripheral blood for guiding post-operative glucocorticoid therapy in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. METHODS Forty-four patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery and were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the standard treatment group used oral and nasal spray glucocorticoids. In the biomarker treatment group, patients with peripheral blood eosinophil percentage values less than 3.05 per cent did not receive glucocorticoid treatment, whereas patients with values 3.05 per cent or above were part of the standard treatment group. Visual Analogue Scale, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 scores, endoscopic Lund-Kennedy scores, eosinophils, interleukin-5 and eosinophil cationic protein in peripheral blood, and nasal secretions were measured. RESULTS After functional endoscopic sinus surgery, the Visual Analogue Scale, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 and Lund-Kennedy scores were significantly reduced in both groups; there were no significant differences in those indicators between the groups during the three follow-up visits. CONCLUSION Peripheral blood eosinophil percentage offers a potential biomarker to guide post-operative glucocorticoid therapy in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Abstract
Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) 1/2/3/4 are involved in the occurrence and progression of multiple malignancies; however, their prognostic and developmental value in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains unclear. The present study used TCGA, ONCOMINE, SangerBox3.0, UALCAN, TIMER2.0, GENEMANIA, TISDB, The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and other databases to analyse the expression profile, clinical value and prognosis of SOCS1/2/3/4 in GBM, and to explore the potential development mechanism of action of SOCS1/2/3/4 in GBM. The majority of analyses showed that SOCS1/2/3/4 transcription and translation levels in GBM tissues were significantly higher than those in normal tissues. qRT-PCR, western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemical staining were used to verify that SOCS3 was expressed at higher mRNA and protein levels in GBM than in normal tissues or cells. High SOCS1/2/3/4 mRNA expression was associated with poor prognosis in patients with GBM, especially SOCS3. SOCS1/2/3/4 were highly contraindicated, which had few mutations, and were not associated with clinical prognosis. Furthermore, SOCS1/2/3/4 were associated with the infiltration of specific immune cell types. In addition, SOCS3 may affect the prognosis of patients with GBM through JAK/STAT signalling pathway. Analysis of the GBM-specific protein interaction (PPI) network showed that SOCS1/2/3/4 were involved in multiple potential carcinogenic mechanisms of GBM. In addition, colony formation, Transwell, wound healing and western blotting assays revealed that inhibition of SOCS3 decreased the proliferation, migration and invasion of GBM cells. In conclusion, the present study elucidated the expression profile and prognostic value of SOCS1/2/3/4 in GBM, which may provide potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GBM, especially SOCS3.

Abstract
PURPOSE The updated guidelines highlight gene expression-based multigene panel as a critical tool to assess overall survival (OS) and improve treatment for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. Nevertheless, genome-wide expression signatures are still limited in real clinical utility because of insufficient data utilization, a lack of critical validation, and inapposite machine learning algorithms. METHODS 2330 primary LUAD samples were enrolled from 11 independent cohorts. Seventy-six algorithm combinations based on ten machine learning algorithms were applied. A total of 108 published gene expression signatures were collected. Multiple pharmacogenomics databases and resources were utilized to identify precision therapeutic drugs. RESULTS We comprehensively developed a robust machine learning-derived genome-wide expression signature (RGS) according to stably OS-associated RNAs (OSRs). RGS was an independent risk element and remained robust and reproducible power by comparing it with general clinical parameters, molecular characteristics, and 108 published signatures. RGS-based stratification possessed different biological behaviors, molecular mechanisms, and immune microenvironment patterns. Integrating multiple databases and previous studies, we identified that alisertib was sensitive to the high-risk group, and RITA was sensitive to the low-risk group. CONCLUSION Our study offers an appealing platform to screen dismal prognosis LUAD patients to improve clinical outcomes by optimizing precision therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract which seriously endangers the health of human beings worldwide. Transcriptomic deregulation by epigenetic mechanisms plays a crucial role in the heterogeneous progression of GC. This study aimed to investigate the impact of epigenetically regulated genes on the prognosis, immune microenvironment, and potential treatment of GC. RESULTS Under the premise of verifying significant co-regulation of the aberrant frequencies of microRNA (miRNA) correlated (MIRcor) genes and DNA methylation-correlated (METcor) genes. Four GC molecular subtypes were identified and validated by comprehensive clustering of MIRcor and METcor GEPs in 1521 samples from five independent multicenter GC cohorts: cluster 1 was characterized by up-regulated cell proliferation and transformation pathways, with good prognosis outcomes, driven by mutations, and was sensitive to 5-fluorouracil and paclitaxel; cluster 2 performed moderate prognosis and benefited more from apatinib and cisplatin; cluster 3 was featured by an up-regulated ligand-receptor formation-related pathways, poor prognosis, an immunosuppression phenotype with low tumor purity, resistant to chemotherapy (e.g., 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel, and cisplatin), and targeted therapy drug (apatinib) and sensitive to dasatinib; cluster 4 was characterized as an immune-activating phenotype, with advanced tumor stages, benefit more from immunotherapy and displayed worst prognosis. CONCLUSIONS According to the epigenetically regulated GEPs, we developed four robust GC molecular subtypes, which facilitated the understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms underlying GC heterogeneity, offering an optimized decision-making and surveillance platform for GC patients.

Abstract
1. The purpose of this study was to create ALP1-VP2-PLGA nanoparticle (AVPN) and to study the immunogenicity of AVPN. AVPN was prepared and observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopies.2. Chickens were divided into five groups and vaccinated with normal saline, VP2 protein, ALP1 and VP2 protein, AVPN or PLGA, respectively. After 28 days, the immune organ indexes were calculated; specific antibody levels in blood were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Additionally, the spleen and bursa of Fabricius were determined by HE staining, immunological cytokine mRNA levels in bursa of Fabricius were detected by qPCR andchicken body weight was determined.3. The results indicated that AVPN was a spherical nanoparticle with a diameter of about 85 nm. It increased bursal indexes and IBDV-specific antibody levels and promoted the expression of IL-2 mRNA in blood and TNF-α and IgG mRNA in bursa of Fabricius. This promoted growth.4. This study suggested that AVPN can increase immunogenicity of VP2 protein, and it could possibly be used as an IBDV subunit vaccine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD276 (also known as B7-H3) is one of the most important immune checkpoints of the CD28 and B7 superfamily, and its abnormal expression is closely associated with various types of cancer. It has been shown that CD276 is able to inhibit the function of T cells, and that this gene may potentially be a promising immunotherapy target for different types of cancer. METHODS Since few systematic studies have been published on the role of CD276 in cancer to date, the present study has employed single-cell sequencing and bioinformatics methods to analyze the expression patterns, clinical significance, prognostic value, epigenetic alterations, DNA methylation level, tumor immune cell infiltration and immune functions of CD276 in different types of cancer. In order to analyze the potential underlying mechanism of CD276 in glioblastoma (GBM) to assess its prognostic value, the LinkedOmics database was used to explore the biological function and co-expression pattern of CD276 in GBM, and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed. In addition, a simple validation of the above analyses was performed using reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR assay. RESULTS The results revealed that CD276 was highly expressed, and was often associated with poorer survival and prognosis, in the majority of different types of cancer. In addition, CD276 expression was found to be closely associated with T cell infiltration, immune checkpoint genes and immunoregulatory interactions between lymphoid and a non-lymphoid cell. It was also shown that the CD276 expression network exerts a wide influence on the immune activation of GBM. The expression of CD276 was found to be positively correlated with neutrophil-mediated immunity, although it was negatively correlated with the level of neurotransmitters, neurotransmitter transport and the regulation of neuropeptide signaling pathways in GBM. It is noteworthy that CD276 expression was found to be significantly higher in GBM compared with normal controls according to the RT-qPCR analysis, and the co-expression network, biological function and chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity of CD276 in GBM were further explored. In conclusion, the findings of the present study have revealed that CD276 is strongly expressed and associated with poor prognosis in most types of cancer, including GBM, and its expression is strongly associated with T-cell infiltration, immune checkpoint genes, and immunomodulatory interactions between lymphocytes and non-lymphoid cells. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, based on our systematic analysis, our findings have revealed important roles for CD276 in different types of cancers, especially GBM, and CD276 may potentially serve as a biomarker for cancer.

Abstract
The primary goal of bone tissue engineering is to fabricate scaffolds that can provide a microenvironment similar to that of natural bone. Therefore, various scaffolds have been designed to replicate the bone structure. Although most tissues exhibit complicated structures, their basic structural unit includes stiff platelets arranged in a staggered micro-array. Therefore, many researchers have designed scaffolds with staggered patterns. However, relatively few studies have comprehensively analyzed this type of scaffold. In this review, we have analyzed scientific research pertaining to staggered scaffold designs and summarized their effects on the physical and biological properties of scaffolds. Compression tests or finite element analysis are typically used to evaluate the mechanical properties of scaffolds, and most studies have performed experiments in cell cultures. Staggered scaffolds improve mechanical strength and are beneficial for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation in comparison with conventional designs. However, very few have been studied in vivo experiments. Additionally, studies on the effect of staggered structures on angiogenesis or bone regeneration in vivo, particularly in large animals, are required. Currently, with the prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies, highly optimized models can be developed, resulting in better discoveries. In the future, AI can be used to deepen our understanding on the staggered structure, promoting its use in clinical applications.

Abstract
To accurately predict the prognosis and further improve the clinical outcomes of bladder cancer (BLCA), we leveraged large-scale data to develop and validate a robust signature consisting of small gene sets. Ten machine-learning algorithms were enrolled and subsequently transformed into 76 combinations, which were further performed on eight independent cohorts (n = 1218). We ultimately determined a consensus artificial intelligence-derived gene signature (AIGS) with the best performance among 76 model types. In this model, patients with high AIGS showed a higher risk of mortality, recurrence, and disease progression. AIGS is not only independent of traditional clinical traits [(e.g., American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage)] and molecular features (e.g., TP53 mutation) but also demonstrated superior performance to these variables. Comparisons with 58 published signatures also indicated that AIGS possessed the best performance. Additionally, the combination of AIGS and AJCC stage could achieve better performance. Patients with low AIGS scores were sensitive to immunotherapy, whereas patients with high AIGS scores might benefit from seven potential therapeutics: BRD-K45681478, 1S,3R-RSL-3, RITA, U-0126, temsirolimus, MRS-1220, and LY2784544. Additionally, some mutations (TP53 and RB1), copy number variations (7p11.2), and a methylation-driven target were characterized by AIGS-related multi-omics alterations. Overall, AIGS provides an attractive platform to optimize decision-making and surveillance protocol for individual BLCA patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gross extrathyroidal extension (gETE) into major vessel is considered the most advanced stage of the locally advanced papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Surgical intervention may not benefit some patients at this disease stage or even result in intraoperative death due to massive hemorrhage; however, it is still considered an effective strategy for most cases. The lack of description for this challenging invasion in PTC warrants detailed characterization of its pattern, risk factors, optimal surgical method, and prognostic value. METHODS In total, 3127 patients diagnosed as having PTC were enrolled and categorized into two the following groups, namely the major vessel invasion (MVI) group (n = 30) and the control group (n = 3097). Data regarding clinicopathological and demographic characteristics, vascular invasion sites, postoperative complications, locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, and surgical strategies were collected. Predictive disease-free survival (DFS) was also compared between the two groups. RESULTS MVI was independently associated with invasion of the esophageal extension, age < 55 years, tumor size > 1 cm, lateral lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis (P = 0.00; P = 0.01; 0.05; P = 0.00; P = 0.00, respectively). The difference in the predictive DFS between the two groups was significant (P = 0.00), and the difference remained significant even in patients with ETE when compared with patients without ETE (P = 0.00). Additionally, predictive DFS did not differ significantly between patients who received vessel repairment and those who received vessel resection (P = 0.28). CONCLUSIONS This study first characterized the gross MVI pattern exhibited by PTC and the risk factors for MVI. Additionally, it demonstrated the DFS of patients with PTC. Extensive gross MVI significantly worsened the biological characteristics of PTC. Regardless of the high risk and difficulty of the operation, patients still benefited from the surgical intervention, and vessel repairment may be the optimal surgical strategy.

Abstract
Molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer (CRC) are currently identified via the snapshot transcriptional profiles, largely ignoring the dynamic changes of gene expressions. Conversely, biological networks remain relatively stable irrespective of time and condition. Here, we introduce an individual-specific gene interaction perturbation network-based (GIN) approach and identify six GIN subtypes (GINS1-6) with distinguishing features: (i) GINS1 (proliferative, 24%~34%), elevated proliferative activity, high tumor purity, immune-desert, PIK3CA mutations, and immunotherapeutic resistance; (ii) GINS2 (stromal-rich, 14%~22%), abundant fibroblasts, immune-suppressed, stem-cell-like, SMAD4 mutations, unfavorable prognosis, high potential of recurrence and metastasis, immunotherapeutic resistance, and sensitive to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy; (iii) GINS3 (KRAS-inactivated, 13%~20%), high tumor purity, immune-desert, activation of EGFR and ephrin receptors, chromosomal instability (CIN), fewer KRAS mutations, SMOC1 methylation, immunotherapeutic resistance, and sensitive to cetuximab and bevacizumab; (iv) GINS4 (mixed, 10%~19%), moderate level of stromal and immune activities, transit-amplifying-like, and TMEM106A methylation; (v) GINS5 (immune-activated, 12%~24%), stronger immune activation, plentiful tumor mutation and neoantigen burden, microsatellite instability and high CpG island methylator phenotype, BRAF mutations, favorable prognosis, and sensitive to immunotherapy and PARP inhibitors; (vi) GINS6, (metabolic, 5%~8%), accumulated fatty acids, enterocyte-like, and BMP activity. Overall, the novel high-resolution taxonomy derived from an interactome perspective could facilitate more effective management of CRC patients.

Abstract
Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is a pro-resolving lipid mediator of inflammation, endogenously synthesized from omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of RvD1 on bone regeneration using a rat calvarial defect model. Collagen 3D nanopore scaffold (COL) and Pluronic F127 hydrogel (F127) incorporated with RvD1 (RvD1-COL-F127 group) or COL and F127 (COL-F127 group) were implanted in symmetrical calvarial defects. After implantation, RvD1 was administrated subcutaneously every 7 days for 4 weeks. The rats were sacrificed at weeks 1 and 8 post-implantation. Tissue samples were analyzed by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and histology at week 1. Radiographical and histological analyses were done at week 8. At week 1, calvarial defects treated with RvD1 exhibited decreased numbers of inflammatory cells and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) positive cells, greater numbers of newly formed blood vessels, upregulated gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and alkaline phosphatase, and downregulated gene expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α. At week 8, the radiographical results showed that osteoid area fraction of the RvD1-COL-F127 group was higher than that of the COL-F127 group, and histological examination exhibited enhanced osteoid formation and newly formed blood vessels in the RvD1-COL-F127 group. In conclusion, this study showed that RvD1 enhanced bone formation and vascularization in rat calvarial defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) are critical for wound healing and regenerative capacity of periodontal diseases. Within an inflammatory periodontal pocket, a hypoxic environment can aggravate periodontal inflammation, where PDLCs response to the inflammation would change. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous lipid mediator, which can impact intracellular inflammatory pathways of periodontal/oral cells and periodontal regeneration. It is not clear how hypoxia and RvD1 impact the inflammatory responses of pro-inflammatory PDLCs phenotype. Therefore, this study aimed to test hypoxia could induce changes in pro-inflammatory phenotype of PDLCs and RvD1 could reverse it. METHODS Human PDLCs were cultured from periodontal tissues from eight healthy individuals and were characterized by immunofluorescence staining of vimentin and cytokeratin. Cell viability was examined by Methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium (MTT) assay. To examine the effects of hypoxia and RvD1 on the inflammatory responses of pro-inflammatory PDLCs phenotype, protein levels and gene expressions of inflammatory cytokines and signal transduction molecules were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting (WB), and real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (real-time qRT-PCR). Alizarin red S staining and real-time qRT-PCR were employed to study the effects of hypoxia and RvD1 on the osteogenic differentiation of pro-inflammatory PDLCs phenotype. RESULTS It was found that hypoxia increases the expression of inflammatory factors at the gene level (p < .05). RvD1 reduced the expression of IL-1β (p < .05) in PDLCs under hypoxia both at the protein and RNA levels. There were increases in the expression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK, p < .01) and protein kinase B (Akt, p < .05) in response to RvD1. Also, a significantly higher density of calcified nodules was observed after treatment with RvD1 for 21 days under hypoxia. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that hypoxia up-regulated the inflammatory level of PDLCs. RvD1 can reduce under-hypoxia-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines in the inflammatory phenotype of PDLCs. Moreover, RvD1 promotes the calcium nodules in PDLCs, possibly by affecting the p38 MAPK signaling pathway through Akt and HIF-1α.

AIM To assess whether conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging (DSC-PWI) could non-invasively predict p53 and Ki-67 labelling index (LI) and O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status in adult isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastomas. METHODS The conventional MRI, DWI, and DSC-PWI results of 120 adult patients with IDH wild-type glioblastomas were reviewed retrospectively and their efficacy was analysed using chi-square tests or Fisher's exact test. Relative minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (rADCmin) and relative maximum cerebral blood volume (rCBVmax) values were compared between glioblastomas with different molecular statuses using the Mann-Whitney U-test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and logistic regression were used to evaluate predictive performance. RESULTS Glioblastomas with a high p53 LI were more likely to show a well-defined enhancement margin (p=0.047). Glioblastomas in the high-Ki-67-LI group demonstrated significantly lower rADCmin (p<0.001) and higher rCBVmax (p=0.001) values than those in the low-Ki-67-LI group. Tumours without MGMT promoter methylation showed lower rADCmin (p<0.001) and higher rCBVmax (p<0.001) values than those with it. The rCBVmax value exhibited a greater efficacy in predicting the MGMT promoter methylation status of adult IDH wild-type glioblastomas than the rADCmin value (p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present results suggest that conventional and DWI and DSC-PWI results are influenced by the molecular status of the glioblastoma and indicate that DWI and DSC-PWI may help to identify regions of high invasiveness within heterogeneous glioblastomas.

Abstract
Enteromorpha prolifera belonging to the chlorophyta phylum is the main pollutant of "green tide", and propagates rapidly in recent years. However, there is almost no high-value enteromorpha treatment method at present. This study aimed to extract cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from enteromorpha and prepare the CNC reinforced films based on alginate, carrageenan and shellac for food packaging. The effects of alginate, κ-carrageenan, cellulose nanocrystals and glycerin on the CNC reinforced alginate/carrageenan films (AC films) properties were studied systematically in this work. The results showed that the mechanical properties, swelling properties, and barrier properties of the AC could be adjusted by the concentrations of the different components. In addition, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the formula of the AC used for food packaging according to the requirements of the practical application. Furthermore, in order to further improve the food packaging capacity of the composite films, shellac was added to the optimized alginate/carrageenan films (OAC films) to obtain the shellac optimized alginate/carrageenan films (SOAC films). Finally, the OAC films and SOAC films showed excellent properties to extend the storage time of chicken breast and cherry tomatoes in the food storage experiment.

Abstract
Resolvins are biosynthesized from omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in vivo by means of enzymatic activities, and these factors can attenuate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. Inflammatory bone disorders can lead to bone loss and thereby be harmful to human health. The link between bone preservation and resolvins has been discussed in some experimental studies. Significant evidence has shown that resolvins benefit bone health and bone preservation by promoting the resolution of inflammation and directly regulating osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Therefore, this review highlights the role and beneficial impact of resolvins derived from EPA and DHA on inflammatory bone disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. In addition, the mechanisms by which resolvins exert their beneficial effects on bone preservation have also been summarized based on the available literature.

Abstract
Immune inflammation plays an essential role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysm (IA). However, the current limited knowledge of alterations in the immune microenvironment of IA has hampered the mastery of pathological mechanisms and technological advances, such as molecular diagnostic and coated stent-based molecular therapy. In this study, seven IA datasets were enrolled from the GEO database to decode the immune microenvironment and relevant biometric alterations. The ssGSEA algorithm was employed for immune infiltration assessment. IAs displayed abundant immune cell infiltration, activated immune-related pathways, and high expression of immune-related genes. Several immunosuppression cells and genes were also coordinately upregulated in IAs. Five immune-related hub genes, including CXCL10, IL6, IL10, STAT1, and VEGFA, were identified from the protein-protein interaction network and further detected at the protein level. CeRNA networks and latent drugs targeting the hub genes were predicted for targeted therapy reference. Two gene modules recognized via WCGNA were functionally associated with contractile smooth muscle loss and extracellular matrix metabolism, respectively. In blood datasets, a pathological feature-derived gene signature (PFDGS) for IA diagnosis and rupture risk prediction was established using machine learning. Patients with high PFDGS scores may possess adverse biological alterations and present with a high risk of morbidity or IA rupture, requiring more vigilance or prompt intervention. Overall, we systematically unveiled an “immuno-thermal” microenvironment characterized by co-enhanced immune activation and immunosuppression in IA, which provides a novel insight into molecular pathology. The PFDGS is a promising signature for optimizing risk surveillance and clinical decision-making in IA patients.

Abstract
The suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family contains eight members, including SOCS1–7 and CIS, and SOCS3 has been shown to inhibit cytokine signal transduction in various signaling pathways. Although several studies have currently shown the correlations between SOCS3 and several types of cancer, no pan-cancer analysis is available to date. We used various computational tools to explore the expression and pathogenic roles of SOCS3 in several types of cancer, assessing its potential role in the pathogenesis of cancer, in tumor immune infiltration, tumor progression, immune evasion, therapeutic response, and prognostic. The results showed that SOCS3 was downregulated in most The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cancer datasets but was highly expressed in brain tumors, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, and lymphoma. High SOCS3 expression in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and brain lower-grade glioma (LGG) were verified through immunohistochemical experiments. GEPIA and Kaplan–Meier Plotter were used, and this bioinformatics analysis showed that high SOCS3 expression was associated with a poor prognosis in the majority of cancers, including LGG and GBM. Our analysis also indicated that SOCS3 may be involved in tumor immune evasion via immune cell infiltration or T-cell exclusion across different types of cancer. In addition, SOCS3 methylation was negatively correlated with mRNA expression levels, worse prognoses, and dysfunctional T-cell phenotypes in various types of cancer. Next, different analytical methods were used to select genes related to SOCS3 gene alterations and carcinogenic characteristics, such as STAT3, SNAI1, NFKBIA, BCL10, TK1, PGS1, BIRC5, TMC8, and AFMID, and several biological functions were identified between them. We found that SOCS3 was involved in cancer development primarily through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and cytokine receptor activity. Furthermore, SOCS3 expression levels were associated with immunotherapy or chemotherapy for numerous types of cancer. In conclusion, this study showed that SOCS3 is an immune-oncogenic molecule that may possess value as a biomarker for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of several types of cancer in the future.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is strongly associated with the development of colitis-associated tumorigenesis (CAT). Despite recent advances in the understanding of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell (PMN-MDSC) responses in cancer, the mechanisms of these cells during this process remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we discovered a glycoprotein, olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4), was highly expressed in PMN-MDSCs from colitis to colorectal cancer (CRC), and its expression level and PMN-MDSC population positively correlated with the progression of IBD to CRC. Moreover, mice lacking OLFM4 in myeloid cells showed poor recruitment of PMN-MDSCs, impaired intestinal homeostasis, and delayed development from IBD to CRC, and increased response to anti-PD1 therapy. The main mechanism of OLFM4-mediated PMN-MDSC activity involved the NF-κB/PTGS2 pathway, through the binding of LGALS3, a galactoside-binding protein expressed on PMN-MDSCs. Our results showed that the OLFM4/NF-κB/PTGS2 pathway promoted PMN-MDSC recruitment, which played an essential role in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis, but showed resistance to anti-PD1 therapy in CRC.

Abstract
Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction. The pathogenesis and etiologies of DCM remain elusive. This study aims to identify the key genes to construct a genetic diagnosis model of DCM. Methods A total of 257 DCM samples from five independent cohorts were enrolled. The Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identify the key modules associated with DCM. The latent mechanisms and protein-protein interaction network underlying the key modules were further revealed. Subsequently, we developed and validated a LASSO diagnostic model in five independent cohorts. Results Two key modules were identified using WGCNA. Novel mechanisms related to the extracellular, mitochondrial matrix or IL-17 signaling pathway were pinpointed, which might significantly influence DCM. Besides, 23 key genes were screened out by combining WGCNA and differential expression analysis. Based on the key genes, a genetic diagnosis model was constructed and validated using five cohorts with excellent AUCs (0.975, 0.954, 0.722, 0.850, 0.988). Finally, significant differences in immune infiltration were observed between the two groups divided by the diagnostic model. Conclusion Our study revealed several novel pathways and key genes to provide potential targets and biomarkers for DCM treatment. A key genes’ diagnosis model was built to offer a new tool for diagnosing DCM.

Abstract
Background: Recent evidence demonstrates that pyroptosis-derived long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have profound impacts on the initiation, progression, and microenvironment of tumors. However, the roles of pyroptosis-derived lncRNAs (PDLs) in gastric cancer (GC) remain elusive. Methods: We comprehensively analyzed the multi-omics data of 839 GC patients from three independent cohorts. The previous gene set enrichment analysis embedding algorithm was utilized to identify PDLs. A gene pair pipeline was developed to facilitate clinical translation via qualitative relative expression orders. The LASSO algorithm was used to construct and validate a pyroptosis-derived lncRNA pair prognostics signature (PLPPS). The associations between PLPPS and multi-omics alteration, immune profile, and pharmacological landscape were further investigated. Results: A total of 350 PDLs and 61,075 PDL pairs in the training set were generated. Cox regression revealed 15 PDL pairs associated with overall survival, which were utilized to construct the PLPPS model via the LASSO algorithm. The high-risk group demonstrated adverse prognosis relative to the low-risk group. Remarkably, genomic analysis suggested that the lower tumor mutation burden and gene mutation frequency (e.g., TTN, MUC16, and LRP1B) were found in the high-risk group patients. The copy number variants were not significantly different between the two groups. Additionally, the high-risk group possessed lower immune cell infiltration abundance and might be resistant to a few chemotherapeutic drugs (including cisplatin, paclitaxel, and gemcitabine). Conclusion: PDLs were closely implicated in the biological process and prognosis of GC, and our PLPPS model could serve as a promising tool to advance prognostic management and personalized treatment of GC patients.

Abstract
Allergic airway inflammation is a universal airway disease that is driven by hyperresponsiveness to inhaled allergens. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) produce copious amounts of type 2 cytokines, which lead to allergic airway inflammation. Here, we discovered that both peripheral blood of human and mouse lung ILC2s express the endothelin-A receptor (ETAR), and the expression level of ETAR was dramatically induced upon interleukin-33 (IL-33) treatment. Subsequently, both preventive and therapeutic effects of BQ123, an ETAR antagonist, on allergic airway inflammation were observed, which were associated with decreased proliferation and type 2 cytokine productions by ILC2s. Furthermore, ILC2s from BQ123 treatment were found to be functionally impaired in response to an interleukin IL-33 challenged. And BQ123 treatment also affected the phosphorylation level of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), as well as the level of GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) in activated ILC2s. Interestingly, after BQ123 treatment, both mouse and human ILC2s in vitro exhibited decreased function and downregulation of ERK signaling and GATA3 stability. These observations imply that ETAR is an important regulator of ILC2 function and may be involved in ILC2-driven pulmonary inflammation. Therefore, blocking ETAR may be a promising therapeutic strategy for allergic airway inflammation.

Abstract
Introduction: Pyroptosis was recently implicated in the initiation and progression of tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM). This study aimed to explore the clinical significance of pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (PRLs) in GBM. Methods: Three independent cohorts were retrieved from the TCGA and CGGA databases. The consensus clustering and weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) were applied to identify PRLs. The LASSO algorithm was employed to develop and validate a pyroptosis-related lncRNA signature (PRLS) in three independent cohorts. The molecular characteristics, clinical significances, tumor microenvironment, immune checkpoints profiles, and benefits of chemotherapy and immunotherapy regarding to PRLS were also explored. Results: In the WGCNA framework, a key module that highly correlated with pyroptosis was extracted for identifying PRLs. Univariate Cox analysis further revealed the associations between PRLs and overall survival. Based on the expression profiles of PRLs, the PRLS was initially developed in TCGA cohort (n = 143) and then validated in two CGGA cohorts (n = 374). Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that our PRLS model was an independent risk factor. More importantly, this signature displayed a stable and accurate performance in predicting prognosis at 1, 3, and 5 years, with all AUCs above 0.7. The decision curve analysis also indicated that our signature had promising clinical application. In addition, patients with high PRLS score suggested a more abundant immune infiltration, higher expression of immune checkpoint genes, and better response to immunotherapy but worse to chemotherapy. Conclusion: A novel pyroptosis-related lncRNA signature with a robust performance was constructed and validated in multiple cohorts. This signature provided new perspectives for clinical management and precise treatments of GBM.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for crop growth and it plays a critical role in agricultural production. Excessive P applications has become a serious concern in Chinese greenhouse vegetable production (GVP) systems. Nevertheless, P accumulation (legacy P) in GVP profile soils and its potential loss remain poorly documented. Hence, this study aimed to response this issue via paired collection of 136 soil samples (0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm depth) and 41 vegetable samples from both plastic greenhouses (PG) and solar greenhouses (SG) in Shouguang, Shandong province. Results showed that the annual input of P ranged from 772 to 2458 kg ha-1 for different vegetables through the whole growing season versus little vegetable P uptake (ranging from 47.8 to 155 kg ha-1). Results also revealed significant P accumulation in both SG and PG profile soils. Compared to arable soils (background soils), legacy P to the depth of 90 cm in PG and SG soils were 3.28 and 11.16 Mg P ha-1, respectively. The content of total P in PG and SG soils significantly increased with cultivation duration. The maximum environmental capacity of P in SG soils was 187 Mg ha-1, and the maximum number of years for safe planting was 38 yrs. After four years of cultivation, P loss would occur in these soils and the loss rate of P increased with cultivation duration. Opposite to PG soils, a potentially higher risk of P losses took place in SG soils. Our results also demonstrated that excessive P inputs driven by intensive agricultural practices dominated legacy P accumulation within the profile soils and its losses in GVP systems. Site-specific P managements, including improving P use efficiency, reducing further P surplus and reusing legacy P in soils, are urgently needed to minimize P loss. At the same time, the potential loss of subsoil P could not be neglected.

Abstract
As the most aggressive tumor, the outcome of pancreatic cancer (PACA) has not improved observably over the last decade. Anatomy-based TNM staging does not exactly identify treatment-sensitive patients, and an ideal biomarker is urgently needed for precision medicine. Based on expression files of 1280 patients from 10 multicenter cohorts, we screened 32 consensus prognostic genes. Ten machine-learning algorithms were transformed into 76 combinations, of which we selected the optimal algorithm to construct an artificial intelligence-derived prognostic signature (AIDPS) according to the average C-index in the nine testing cohorts. The results of the training cohort, nine testing cohorts, Meta-Cohort, and three external validation cohorts (290 patients) consistently indicated that AIDPS could accurately predict the prognosis of PACA. After incorporating several vital clinicopathological features and 86 published signatures, AIDPS exhibited robust and dramatically superior predictive capability. Moreover, in other prevalent digestive system tumors, the nine-gene AIDPS could still accurately stratify the prognosis. Of note, our AIDPS had important clinical implications for PACA, and patients with low AIDPS owned a dismal prognosis, higher genomic alterations, and denser immune cell infiltrates as well as were more sensitive to immunotherapy. Meanwhile, the high AIDPS group possessed observably prolonged survival, and panobinostat may be a potential agent for patients with high AIDPS. Overall, our study provides an attractive tool to further guide the clinical management and individualized treatment of PACA.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common type of primary brain tumor in adults. GBM is characterized by a high degree of malignancy and aggressiveness, as well as high morbidity and mortality rates. GBM is currently treatable via surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but the prognosis of patients with GBM is poor. The suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) protein family comprises eight members, including SOCS1-SOCS7 and cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein. SOCS proteins regulate the biogenesis of GBM via the JAK/STAT and NF-κB signaling pathways. Driven by NF-κB, the expression of SOCS proteins can serve as a negative regulator of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and exerts a potential inhibitory effect on GBM. In GBM, E3 ubiquitin ligase is involved in the regulation of cellular functions, such as the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) survival signal, in which SOCS proteins negatively regulate RTK signaling, and kinase overexpression or mutation can lead to the development of malignancies. Moreover, SOCS proteins affect the proliferation and differentiation of GBM cells by regulating the tumor microenvironment. SOCS proteins also serve specific roles in GBM of different grades and different isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status. The aim of the present review was to describe the biogenesis and function of the SOCS protein family, the roles of SOCS proteins in the microenvironment of GBM, as well as the role of this protein family and E3 ubiquitin ligases in GBM. Furthermore, the role of SOCS proteins as diagnostic and prognostic markers in GBM and their potential role as GBM therapeutics were explored.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) were recently implicated in modifying the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling in multiple cancers. However, TGF-β-derived miRNAs and their potential clinical significance remain largely unexplored in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). In this study, we proposed an integrated framework that enables the identification of TGF-β-derived miRNAs in ICC (termed “TGFmitor”). A total of 36 TGF-β-derived miRNAs were identified, of which nine significantly correlated with overall survival (OS) and aberrantly expressed in ICC. According to these miRNAs, we discovered and validated a TGF-β associated miRNA signature (TAMIS) in GSE53870 (n =63) and TCGA-CHOL (n =32). To further confirm the clinical interpretation of TAMIS, another validation based on qRT-PCR results from 181 ICC tissues was performed. TAMIS was proven to be an independent risk indicator for both OS and relapse-free survival (RFS). TAMIS also displayed robust performance in three cohorts, with satisfactory AUCs and C-index. Besides, patients with low TAMIS were characterized by superior levels of CD8+ T cells infiltration and PD-L1 expression, while patients with high TAMIS possessed enhanced CMTM6 expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested CMTM6 could further stratify TAMIS. The TAMIShighCMTM6high subtype had the worst prognosis and lowest levels of CD8A and PD-L1 expression relative to the other subtypes, indicating this subtype might behave as “super-cold” tumors. Notably, the improved discrimination was observed when CMTM6 was combined with TAMIS. Overall, our signature could serve as a powerful tool to help improve prognostic management and immunotherapies of ICC patients.

Abstract
Elimination of the posttraumatic inflammatory response and recovery of homeostasis are crucial for the positive prognosis of trauma patients. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are known to play a regulatory role in the posttraumatic immune response in mice, but their induction source and involved potential mechanism are poorly understood. Here, we report that polymorphonuclear MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs) are activated after trauma and are closely associated with the progression of the posttraumatic inflammatory response. In humans, lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX1) was used to specifically characterize LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs. Trauma patients showed high intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, as well as activation of LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs. These MDSCs contribute to the anti-inflammatory immune response by regulating the Treg/Th17 and Th2/Th1 balances after trauma, increasing the levels of anti-inflammatory factors, and decreasing the levels of proinflammatory factors. The number of LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs was positively correlated with the positive clinical prognosis of trauma patients with infection. Activation of LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs is mediated by NF-κB signal, and TGF-β1 may be as an important inducer for LOX1+ PMN-MDSCs in the posttraumatic cytokine environment. In a pseudofracture trauma mouse model, we also observed the activation of PMN-MDSCs, accompanying high levels of intracellular ROS production, NF-κB phosphorylation, and changes in the inflammatory environment, in particularly by regulating the Treg/Th17 and Th2/Th1 balance. And more significantly, posttraumatic inflammation was alleviated in mice after transferring trauma-derived PMN-MDSCs, but aggravated after injecting with Gr1 agonistic antibody. These findings provide evidence for the specific role of PMN-MDSCs in the regulation of posttraumatic inflammation.

Abstract
The maternal immune system is vital in maintaining immunotolerance to the semiallogeneic fetus for a successful pregnancy. Although studies have shown that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play an important role in maintaining feto-maternal tolerance, little is known about the role of MDSCs in pregnancies with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Here, we reported that the activation of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) during pregnancy was closely associated with fetal growth. In humans, class E scavenger receptor 1 (SR-E1), a distinct marker for human PMN-MDSCs, was used to investigate PMN-MDSC function during pregnancy. Continuous activation of SR-E1+ PMN-MDSCs was observed in all stages of pregnancy, accompanied by high cellular levels of ROS and arginase-1 activity, mediated through STAT6 signaling. However, SR-E1+ PMN-MDSCs in pregnancies with IUGR showed significantly lower suppressive activity, lower arginase-1 activity and ROS levels, and decreased STAT6 phosphorylation level, which were accompanied by an increase in inflammatory factors, compared with those in normal pregnancies. Moreover, the population of SR-E1+ PMN-MDSCs was negatively correlated with the adverse outcomes of newborns from pregnancies with IUGR. In mice, decreases in cell population, suppressive activity, target expression levels, and STAT6 phosphorylation levels were also observed in the pregnancies with IUGR compared with the normal pregnancies, which were rescued by the adoptive transfer of PMN-MDSCs from pregnant mice. Interestingly, the growth-promoting factors (GPFs) secreted by placental PMN-MDSCs in both humans and mice play a vital role in fetal development. These findings collectively support that PMN-MDSCs have another new role in pregnancy, which can improve adverse neonatal outcomes.

Abstract
A scalable system for real-time analysis of electron temperature and density based on signals from the Thomson scattering diagnostic, initially developed for and installed on the NSTX-U experiment, was recently adapted for the Large Helical Device and operated for the first time during plasma discharges. During its initial operation run, it routinely recorded and processed signals for four spatial points at the laser repetition rate of 30 Hz, well within the system's rated capability for 60 Hz. We present examples of data collected from this initial run and describe subsequent adaptations to the analysis code to improve the fidelity of the temperature calculations.

Abstract
It has been recently reported that, in a rat calvarial defect model, adding endothelial cells (ECs) to a culture of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) significantly enhanced bone formation. The aim of this study is to further investigate the ossification process of newly formed osteoid and host response to the poly(L-lactide-co-1,5-dioxepan-2-one) [poly(LLA-co-DXO)] scaffolds based on previous research. Several different histological methods and a PCR Array were applied to evaluate newly formed osteoid after 8 weeks after implantation. Histological results showed osteoid formed in rat calvarial defects and endochondral ossification-related genes, such as dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 (Dmp1) and collagen type II, and alpha 1 (Col2a1) exhibited greater expression in the CO (implantation with BMSC/EC/Scaffold constructs) than the BMSC group (implantation with BMSC/Scaffold constructs) as demonstrated by PCR Array. It was important to notice that cartilage-like tissue formed in the pores of the copolymer scaffolds. In addition, multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) were observed surrounding the scaffold fragments. It was concluded that the mechanism of ossification might be an endochondral ossification process when the copolymer scaffolds loaded with co-cultured ECs/BMSCs were implanted into rat calvarial defects. MNGCs were induced by the poly(LLA-co-DXO) scaffolds after implantation, and more specific in vivo studies are needed to gain a better understanding of host response to copolymer scaffolds.

Abstract
The endothelin-A receptor antagonist BQ123 is an effective treatment agent for hypertension and obese cardiomyopathy. However, the role of BQ123 in controlling acute inflammatory diseases and its underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we showed that BQ123 activated polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) in mice and that the IL13/STAT6/Arg1 signaling pathway is involved in this process. Importantly, both treatment with BQ123 and the transfer of BQ123-induced PMN-MDSCs (BQ123-MDSCs) were effective in relieving inflammation, including dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, papain-induced pneumonia, and concanavalin A (ConA)-induced hepatitis, in mice. The treatment effects were mediated by the attenuation of the inflammation associated with the accumulation of PMN-MDSCs in the colon, lung, and liver. However, concurrent injection of Gr1 agonistic antibody with BQ123 induced PMN-MDSC aggravated the observed acute inflammation. Interestingly, no remission of inflammation was observed in Rag2 knockout mice administered BQ123-MDSCs, but co-injection with CD3+ T cells significantly relieved acute inflammation. In summary, BQ123-induced PMN-MDSCs attenuated acute inflammation in a T cell-dependent manner, providing a novel potential strategy to prevent the occurrence of acute inflammation.

Abstract
Having healthy adipose tissue is essential for metabolic health, as excessive adipose tissue in the body can cause its dysregulation and driving chronic metabolic diseases. Protein kinase D1 (PKD1) is considered to be a key kinase in signal transduction, which regulates multiple cellular functions, but its physiological functions in adipose are still not fully understood. This study aimed at elucidating the function of adipocyte PKD1 on lipogenesis. From RNA-Sequencing data, we found that the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway in white adipose tissue lacking PKD1 was significantly affected. Critical rate-limiting enzymes for de novo lipogenesis in adipocytes, such as FASN, ACCα, and SCD1, were significantly repressed after deleting PKD1 in vivo and in vitro. Further studies revealed that blockade of PKD1 significantly increased phosphorylation of SREBP1c at serine 372 site. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed that PKD1 interacts with SREBP1c in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, overexpression of SREBP1c reversed the inhibition of FASN and ACCα expression caused by PKD1 silencing. Together, adipocyte PKD1 promotes de novo lipogenesis via SREBP1c-dependent manner in visceral white adipose tissue and might provide a new target for the development of anti-obesity therapies.
