Abstract
As a traditional Chinese medicine, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge was first recorded in the Shennong Materia Medica Classic and is widely used to treat "the accumulation of symptoms and masses". The main active ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Tanshinone IIA (TIIA), has shown anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antifibrosis, antibacterial, and antioxidative activities, etc. In this study, the results showed that TIIA could inhibit the proliferation and migration of HepG2 cells and downregulate glutathione (GSH) and Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4) levels; besides, TIIA induced the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and upregulated the total iron content. Based on network pharmacology analysis, the antitumor effect of TIIA was found to be focused on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mediated ferroptosis signaling pathway, with protein kinase R (PKR)-like ER kinase (PERK)-activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4)-heat shock 70 kDa protein 5 (HSPA5) as the main pathway. Herein, TIIA showed typical ferroptosis characteristics, and a ferroptosis inhibitor (ferrostatin-1) was used to verify the effect. The antitumor effects of TIIA, occurring through the inhibition of the PERK-ATF4-HSPA5 pathway, were further observed in vivo as significantly inhibited tumor growth and the improved pathological morphology of tumor tissue in H22-bearing mice. In summary, the antitumor mechanism of TIIA might be related to the downregulation of the activation of PERK-ATF4-HSPA5 pathway-mediated ferroptosis.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC), renowned for its versatile applications in water treatment, air purification, and industrial processes, is a critical component in environmental remediation and resource recovery strategies. This study encompasses the process modeling of AC production using anthracite coal as a precursor, involving multiple activation stages at different operating conditions, coupled with a detailed techno-economic analysis aimed at assessing the operational feasibility and financial viability of the plant. The economic analysis explores the investigation of economic feasibility by performing a detailed cashflow and sensitivity analysis to identify key parameters influencing the plant's economic performance, including raw material and energy prices, operational and process parameters. Capital and operational costs are meticulously evaluated, encompassing raw material acquisition, labor, energy consumption, and equipment investment. Financial metrics like Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and payout period (POP) are employed, and the results show that AC selling price, raw material cost and plant capacity are the most influential parameters determining the plant's feasibility. The minimum AC production cost of 1.28 $/kg is obtained, corresponding to coal flow rate of 14,550 kg/h. These findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders, policymakers, and investors seeking to engage in activated carbon production from anthracite.

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
Today, the bacterial infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens seriously threaten human health. Thereby, there is an urgent need to discover antibacterial drugs with novel mechanism. Here, novel psoralen derivatives had been designed and synthesized by a scaffold hopping strategy. Among these targeted twenty-five compounds, compound ZM631 showed the best antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) with the low MIC of 1 μg/mL which is 2-fold more active than that of the positive drug gepotidacin. Molecular docking study revealed that compound ZM631 fitted well in the active pockets of bacterial S. aureus DNA gyrase and formed a key hydrogen bond binding with the residue ASP-1083. These findings demonstrated that the psoralen scaffold could serve as an antibacterial lead compound for further drug development against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

Abstract
Background Better therapeutic drugs are required for treating hypertensive diabetic nephropathy. In our previous study, the Huaju Xiaoji (HJXJ) formula promoted the renal function of patients with diabetes and hypertensive nephropathy. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect and regulation mechanism of HJXJ in hypertensive diabetic mice with nephropathy. Methods We constructed a mouse hypertensive diabetic nephropathy (HDN) model by treating mice with streptozotocin (STZ) and nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (LNAME). We also constructed a human glomerular mesangial cell (HGMC) model that was induced by high doses of sugar (30 mmol/mL) and TGFβ1 (5 ng/mL). Pathological changes were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining, and Masson staining. The fibrosis-related molecules (TGFβ1, fibronectin, laminin, COL I, COL IV, α-SMA, and p-smad2/3) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA levels and protein expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress, fibrosis molecules, and their downstream molecules were assessed using qPCR and Western blotting assays. Results Administering HJXJ promoted the renal function of HDN mice. HJXJ reduced the expression of ER stress makers (CHOP and GRP78) and lncMGC, miR379, miR494, miR495, miR377, CUGBP2, CPEB4, EDEM3, and ATF3 in HDN mice and model HGMCs. The positive control drugs (dapagliflozin and valsartan) also showed similar effects after treatment with HJXJ. Additionally, in model HGMCs, the overexpression of CHOP or lncMGC decreased the effects of HJXJ-M on the level of fibrosis molecules and downstream target molecules. Conclusion In this study, we showed that the HJXJ formula may regulate ERS-lncMGC/miRNA to enhance renal function in hypertensive diabetic mice with nephropathy. This study may act as a reference for further investigating whether combining HJXJ with other drugs can enhance its therapeutic effect. The findings of this study might provide new insights into the clinical treatment of hypertensive diabetic nephropathy with HJXJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal bleeding resulting from inadequate drainage of duodenal leakage (DL) is typically caused by the corrosiveness of duodenal fluid. Open abdomen (OA) treatment addresses both the drainage and bleeding simultaneously. However, a sequential treatment (ST) approach involving hemostasis through transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) followed by percutaneous drainage of source control has emerged as an alternative method. This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of ST in cases of DL-induced intra-abdominal bleeding. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 151 participants diagnosed with DL-induced intra-abdominal bleeding from January 2004 to December 2010, and January 2013 to December 2021. The ST and OA groups were established based on the treatment method applied. Propensity score-matching (PSM) matched patients in the ST group with those in the OA group. RESULTS Among the 151 patients, 61 (40.4%) died within 90 days after the bleeding episode. ST was associated with a lower mortality rate (28.2% vs. 51.3% adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17-0.68; P = 0.003) compared to OA. Following PSM, ST remained the only factor associated with reduced mortality (OR = 0.32; 95% CI 0.13-0.75; P = 0.009). Moreover, ST demonstrated a higher rate of initial hemostasis success before (90.1% [64/71] vs. 77.5% [62/80]; adjusted OR = 2.84; 95% CI 1.07-7.60; P = 0.04) and after PSM (94.4% [51/54] vs. 77.8% [42/54], adjusted OR = 3.85; 95% CI 2.15-16.82; P = 0.04). Additionally, ST was associated with a lower incidence of rebleeding within 90 days after the initial bleeding, before (7 vs. 23; adjusted OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.18-0.92; P = 0.03) and after PSM (5 vs. 14; adjusted OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.15-0.93; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Applying ST involving TAE and subsequent percutaneous drainage might be superior to OA in lowering the mortality in DL-induced intra-abdominal hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recombinant protein vaccines are vital for broad protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants. This study assessed ReCOV as a booster in two Phase 2 trials. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Study-1 involved subjects were randomized (1:1:1) to receive 20 μg ReCOV, 40 μg ReCOV, or an inactivated vaccine (COVILO®) in the United Arab Emirates. Study-2 participating individuals were randomized (1:1:1) to receive 20 μg ReCOV (pilot batch, ReCOV HA), 20 μg ReCOV (commercial batch, ReCOV TC), or 30 μg BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY®) in the Philippines. The primary immunogenicity objectives was to compare the geometric mean titer (GMT) and seroconversion rate (SCR) of neutralizing antibodies induced by one ReCOV booster dose with those of inactivated vaccine and BNT162b2, respectively, at 14 days post-booster. RESULTS Heterologous ReCOV booster doses were safe and induced comparable immune responses to inactivated vaccines and BNT162b2 against Omicron variants and the prototype. They showed significant advantages in cross-neutralization against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, surpassing inactivated vaccines and BNT162b2, with good immune persistence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ReCOV is a recombinant protein vaccine that aims to induce cross-neutralization against SARS-CoV-2 variants. The phase I and phase II studies were conducted in New Zealand and the Philippines, respectively, for ReCOV primary series. METHODS Both studies were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled designed among COVID-19 vaccine-naïve healthy adults who received two doses of study vaccination with a 21-day interval. In phase I, 100 younger (15-55 years) and older (56-80 years) subjects were 4:1 randomized to receive ReCOV (20 µg or 40 µg) or placebo. In the phase II study, 347 subjects (≥ 18 years) were 2:1 randomized to receive 40 µg ReCOV or placebo. Subjects that received ReCOV were followed up for 6 months after the second dosing. The safety outcomes included solicited and unsolicited AEs, SAEs, and AESIs. The immunogenicity outcomes were live-virus neutralizing antibody (NAb) against prototype, while pseudovirus NAbs against several SARS-CoV-2 variants were included in phase II as well. RESULTS No related SAE, AESI, or AE leading to early discontinuation were reported. The AE incidences were higher in ReCOV groups than placebo group in phase I while they were similar between study groups in phase II. The majority of solicited AEs were mild or moderate with median duration of 1.0-4.0 days. The common (≥ 10%) solicited AEs in phase I were injection site reactions, headache, pyrexia, fatigue, and myalgia, and common reported (≥ 5%) ones in phase II included injection site pain, headache, and pyrexia. Robust neutralizing activities against the prototype were observed in ReCOV groups, peaking at 14 days post the second dosing: in phase I, the GMTs for 20 μg and 40 μg ReCOV groups were 1643.2 IU/mL (95% CI 1188.5, 2271.9) and 1289.2 IU/mL (95% CI 868.3, 1914.1) in younger adults, and 1122.3 IU/mL (95% CI 722.6, 1743.1) and 680.3 IU/mL (95% CI 440.2, 1051.4) in older adults, respectively, while in the ReCOV group of phase II, the GMTs for subjects with seronegative and seropositive status at baseline were 3741.0 IU/mL (95% CI 3113.4, 4495.0) and 6138.3 IU/mL (95% CI 5255.1, 7169.9), respectively. In phase II, substantial levels of pseudovirus NAbs against SARS-CoV-2 variants were demonstrated; the peak GMTs for prototype, Omicron BA.2, and BA.4/5 were 8857, 4441, and 2644, and 15,667.3, 7334.3, and 4478.8 among seronegative and seropositive subjects, respectively. The neutralization persisted till 6 months post the second dosing, with only 2.5- to 5.2-fold declines for Omicron variants. CONCLUSIONS Two doses of 20 µg and 40 µg ReCOV are safe and immunogenic against SARS-CoV-2 prototype. The cross-neutralizing activities against Omicron variants support ReCOV advance to late-stage clinical trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION Phase I study, clinicaltrials.gov NCT04818801; phase II study, clinicaltrials.gov NCT05084989.

Abstract
Drug-target affinity (DTA) prediction as an emerging and effective method is widely applied to explore the strength of drug-target interactions in drug development research. By predicting these interactions, researchers can assess the potential efficacy and safety of candidate drugs at an early stage, narrowing down the search space for therapeutic targets and accelerating the discovery and development of new drugs. However, existing DTA prediction models mainly use graphical representations of drug molecules, which lack information on interactions between individual substructures, thus affecting prediction accuracy and model interpretability. Therefore, transformer and diffusion on drug graphs in DTA prediction (TDGraphDTA) are introduced to predict drug-target interactions using multi-scale information interaction and graph optimization. An interactive module is integrated into feature extraction of drug and target features at different granularity levels. A diffusion model-based graph optimization module is proposed to improve the representation of molecular graph structures and enhance the interpretability of graph representations while obtaining optimal feature representations. In addition, TDGraphDTA improves the accuracy and reliability of predictions by capturing relationships and contextual information between molecular substructures. The performance of the proposed TDGraphDTA in DTA prediction was verified on three publicly available benchmark datasets (Davis, Metz, and KIBA). Compared with state-of-the-art baseline models, it achieved better results in terms of consistency index, R-squared, etc. Furthermore, compared with some existing methods, the proposed TDGraphDTA is demonstrated to have better structure capturing capabilities by visualizing the feature capturing capabilities of the model using Grad-AAM toxicity labels in the ToxCast dataset. The corresponding source codes are available at https://github.com/Lamouryz/TDGraph.

Abstract
Iatrogenic ulcers resulting from endoscopic submucosal dissection surgery remain a significant clinical concern due to the risk of uncontrolled bleeding. Herein, we have developed an injectable shear-thinning hydrogel cross-linked through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. The hydrogel underwent comprehensive characterization, focusing on rheological behavior, injectability, microstructure, film-forming capability, adhesion, swelling behavior, degradation kinetics, antibacterial efficacy, hemostatic performance, and biocompatibility. The incorporation of poly(vinyl alcohol) notably enhanced the internal structural stability and injection pressure, while the Laponite content influenced self-healing ability, modulus, and viscosity. Additionally, the hydrogel exhibited pH sensitivity, appropriate degradation, and swelling rates and displayed favorable film-forming and adhesion properties. Notably, it demonstrated excellent resistance against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, highlighting its potential to create an optimal wound environment. In vivo studies further confirmed the hydrogel's exceptional hemostatic performance, positioning it as an optimal material for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) surgery. Moreover, cell experiments and hemolysis tests revealed high biocompatibility, supporting their potential to facilitate the healing of iatrogenic ulcers post-ESD surgery. In conclusion, our hydrogels hold great promise as endoscopic treatment materials for ESD-induced ulcers given their outstanding properties.

Abstract
Background To investigate the efficacy of an alternative negative pressure treatment for the treatment of enteroatmospheric fistula transformed from small intestinal leakage due to incision dehiscence after abdominal surgery. Methods Patients with an enteroatmospheric fistula from small intestinal leakage owing to incision dehiscence following abdominal surgery between January 2010 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Results A total of 83 patients (mean age: 38.3 ± 11.6 years; Body mass index: 19.9 ± 2.2 kg/m2) were enrolled. Of the 83 patients, 59 (71.1 %) achieved fistula closure. High-output fistula (Hazard ratio = 0.48; 95 % Confidence interval: 0.29-0.81; P = 0.006) and abdominal wall thickness >2 cm (Hazard ratio = 2.76; 95 % Confidence interval: 1.35-5.67; P = 0.006) were identified as factors affecting fistula closure. Lastly, 11/83 (13.3 %) patients exhibited re-dehiscence. Conclusion Appropriately applying the alternative negative pressure treatment may enable fistula closure in patients with enteroatmospheric fistula resulting from small intestinal leakage caused by incision dehiscence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients diagnosed with sarcopenia, the presence of chronic preoperative inflammation, assessed by the ratio of the visceral fat area (VFA) to the total abdominal muscle area index (TAMAI) (VFA/TAMAI), has been found to adversely affect wound healing. An elevated VFA/TAMAI may contribute to a higher incidence of postoperative recurrent fistulas (RFs) following definitive surgery (DS) for small intestinal fistulas accompanied by diffuse extensive abdominal adhesions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of VFA/TAMAI for postoperative RFs. METHODS The study enrolled 183 sarcopenic patients, with a median age of 51 years [interquartile range (IQR): 38-61 years), a median body mass index of 19.6 kg/m 2 (IQR: 18.9-21.0 kg/m 2 ) who underwent DS for small intestinal fistulas between January 2018 and October 2022 were included in the multicenter study. The outcomes assessed were RFs and postoperative length of stay (LOS). VFA/TAMAI was examined as a potential risk factor for each outcome. RESULTS Out of the 183 patients, 20.2% ( n =37) developed RFs. The multivariate regression analysis identified VFA/TAMAI as the sole factor associated with RFs [odds ratio=1.78, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-2.87, P =0.02]. The multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated that an elevated VFA/TAMAI was linked to a reduced postoperative LOS (hazard ratio=0.69, 95% CI: 0.59-0.81, P <0.001). CONCLUSION In sarcopenic patients, a high VFA/TAMAI predicated the occurrence of RFs after DS for small intestinal fistulas in the presence of diffuse extensive abdominal adhesions.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer with the highest degree of malignancy and the worst prognosis. The application of immunotherapy for TNBC is limited. This study was to verify the potential application of chimeric antigen receptor-T cells (CAR-T cells) targeting CD24 named as 24BBz in treatment of TNBC. 24BBz was constructed by lentivirus infection and then was co-culture with breast cancer cell lines to evaluate the activation, proliferation and cytotoxicity of engineered T cells. The anti-tumor activity of 24BBz was verified in the subcutaneous xenograft model of nude mice. We found that CD24 gene was significantly up-regulated in breast cancer (BRCA), especially in TNBC. 24BBz showed antigen-specific activation and dose-dependent cytotoxicity against CD24-positive BRCA tumor cells in vitro. Furthermore, 24BBz showed significant anti-tumor effect in CD24-positive TNBC xenografts and T cells infiltration in tumor tissues, while some T cells exhibited exhaustion. No pathological damage of major organs was found during the treatment. This study proved that CD24-specific CAR-T cells have potent anti-tumor activity and potential application value in treatment of TNBC.

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
Background & purpose Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterised by the excessive accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. Shenling Baizhu powder (SLBZP) is formulated from various natural medicinal plants that protect the liver and are used to treat intestinal diseases. SLBZP improves the symptoms of NAFLD. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the ameliorative effect of SLBZP on model mice with high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD. Additionally, we evaluated the impact of SLBZP on the intestinal flora and its metabolites and mitochondrial energy metabolism in NAFLD. Methods We used HFD to establish a mouse model of NAFLD. Different drug interventions were administered. We measured serum biochemical indices. Liver sections were visualised with hematoxylin-eosin and oil red O staining. 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing technology was used to analyse the diversity and abundance of the intestinal flora. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the intestinal contents were detected using GC-MS. Liver tissue was sampled to detect mitochondrial membrane functional indices. Western blotting was used to determine the levels of mitochondrial pathway-related proteins, namely, uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibitory factor 1 (IF1) of F1Fo ATP synthesis/hydrolase, in the liver. Results The spleen-invigorating classic recipe of SLBZP reduced liver lipid deposition in mice with HFD-induced NAFLD. Additionally, SCFAs produced by intestinal flora metabolism regulated the UCP2/AMPK/IF1 signalling pathway involved in liver mitochondrial energy metabolism to improve the liver mitochondrial membrane permeability, respiratory state and oxidative phosphorylation efficiency of mice with NAFLD. Finally, SLBZP increased the liver ATP level. Conclusion Our results suggest that the therapeutic effect of SLBZP on NAFLD is related to the regulation of hepatic mitochondrial energy metabolism by intestinal flora and its metabolites and is possibly associated with the UCP2/AMPK/IF1 signalling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid modulatory element-binding protein 1 (GMEB1), which has been identified as a transcription factor, is a protein widely expressed in various tissues. Reportedly, the dysregulation of GMEB1 is linked to the genesis and development of multiple cancers.
AIM To explore GMEB1’s biological functions in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and figuring out the molecular mechanism.
METHODS GMEB1 expression in HCC tissues was analyzed employing the StarBase database. Immunohistochemical staining, Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR were conducted to examine GMEB1 and Yes-associate protein 1 (YAP1) expression in HCC cells and tissues. Cell counting kit-8 assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry were utilized to examine HCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis, respectively. The JASPAR database was employed for predicting the binding site of GMEB1 with YAP1 promoter. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR were conducted to verify the binding relationship of GMEB1 with YAP1 promoter region.
RESULTS GMEB1 was up-regulated in HCC cells and tissues, and GMEB1 expression was correlated to the tumor size and TNM stage of HCC patients. GMEB1 overexpression facilitated HCC cell multiplication, migration, and invasion, and suppressed the apoptosis, whereas GMEB1 knockdown had the opposite effects. GMEB1 bound to YAP1 promoter region and positively regulated YAP1 expression in HCC cells.
CONCLUSION GMEB1 facilitates HCC malignant proliferation and metastasis by promoting the transcription of the YAP1 promoter region.

Abstract
The successful implementation of thin-film composite membranes (TFCM) for challenging solute-solute separations in the pharmaceutical industry requires a fine control over the microstructure (size, distribution, and connectivity of the free-volume elements) and thickness of the selective layer. For example, desalinating antibiotic streams requires highly interconnected free-volume elements of the right size to block antibiotics but allow the passage of salt ions and water. Here, we introduce stevioside, a plant-derived contorted glycoside, as a promising aqueous phase monomer for optimizing the microstructure of TFCM made via interfacial polymerization. The low diffusion rate and moderate reactivity of stevioside, together with its nonplanar and distorted conformation, produced thin selective layers with an ideal microporosity for antibiotic desalination. For example, an optimized 18-nm membrane exhibited an unprecedented combination of high water permeance (81.2 liter m-2 hour-1 bar-1), antibiotic desalination efficiency (NaCl/tetracycline separation factor of 11.4), antifouling performance, and chlorine resistance.

Abstract
Glioma is a serious life-threatening disease, and traditional treatments have little effect. In recent decades, polymer materials have been developed for the treatment of glioma as a new research area. The ability to target reactive polymeric carriers is important for treating glioma. Polymer materials have good designability and expansibility. They respond to different stimuli, leading to a change in the macroscopic properties of materials. Sensitive polymer carriers respond to biological stimuli (pH, oxidative stress, enzyme, temperature, ions and nucleic acids) and the tumour microenvironment. They can be used as intelligent polymer carriers to transport chemotherapy and imaging drugs for glioma treatment. The ability of these polymer carriers to control the release of molecules at tumour-specific sites has aroused great interest. This review summarizes current research on sensitive polymer-carriers for glioma treatment over the past decade, focusing on their clinical application prospects. Finally, future applications of polymer carriers in nanomedicine are reviewed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of postoperative utilization of somatostatin after definitive surgery for duodenal fistula (DF) in preventing a recurrence. METHODS Patients with definitive surgery for DF between January 2010 and December 2021 were categorized based on the utilization of somatostatin or not after the surgery. Patients in the Somatostatin group were matched to those in the Non-somatostatin group using propensity scores matching (PSM), so as to evaluate the effect of postoperative use of somatostatin by comparing the two groups. RESULTS A total of 154 patients were divided into the in the Somatostatin group (84) and the Non-somatostatin group (70). Forty-three patients (27.9%) exhibited a recurrent fistula, with which the postoperative use of somatostatin was not associated (19 [22.6%] in the Somatostatin group and 24 (34.3%) in the Non-somatostatin group; unadjusted OR 0.56; 95% CI 0.28-1.14; P = 0.11). However, the postoperative usage of somatostatin served as a protective factor for developing into high-output recurrent fistula (eight (13.3%) in the Somatostatin group and 15 (25%) in the Non-somatostatin group; adjusted OR 0.39; 95% CI 0.15-0.93; P = 0.04). After PSM, the recurrent fistula occurred in 29.2% subjects (35/120). The postoperative usage of somatostatin was not associated with recurrent fistula (13 in PSM Somatostatin group vs. 22 in PSM Non-somatostatin group; unadjusted OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.21-1.07; P = 0.07), while its postoperative usage decreased the incidence of recurrent high-output fistula (5/60 in the PSM Somatostatin group, compared with 13/60 in the PSM Non-somatostatin group; adjusted OR 0.30; 95% CI 0.09-0.95). CONCLUSION Postoperative use of somatostatin could effectively reduce the incidence of recurrent high-output fistula, without association with overall incidence of postoperative recurrent fistula.

METHODS The study was carried out at two centers managed by one surgeon, both adopted the same treatments. Patients with postoperative AD after rectal cancer surgery from January 2011 to June 2020 were eligible and were divided into a passive drainage (PD) group and a DLIST group according to whether the PD, placed in the rectal cancer surgery, had been replaced with the DLIST. The effect of DLIST on the AL was evaluated. RESULT There distributed 76 patients in the DLIST group and 52 in the PD group. A higher closure rate was reported in the DLIST group (46 patients in DLIST group, for a closure rate of 60.5%, and 21 patients in PD group, for a closure rate of 40.4%. HR = 3.05; 95% CI: 1.79-5.19; P < 0.001). Both length of stay and costs of the treatment in the DLIST group were lower (54 days [interquartile range, IQR: 41-17] days vs. 112 days [IQR: 66-27] days, P = 0.005; and $18,721 [IQR: $14,982-4,960] vs. $40,840 [IQR: $20,932-50,529], P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Placement of DLIST might serve as an effective method for treating AD following rectal cancer surgery. In comparison with PD, it costs lower to apply DLIST in the treatment of AD and the length of stay is shorter.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are functionally active, nanoscale, membrane-bound vesicles that can be secreted by all cells. They have a key role in most health and disease states and have gradually become a promising class of delivery vehicles for targeted therapies for a variety of diseases. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles have received increasing attention based on their easy availability, non-toxicity and high absorption. However, compared with mammalian extracellular vesicles, the role of these nanoparticles as nano-delivery systems in tumour therapy has been underestimated. In this paper, the application of plant-derived extracellular vesicles and their nano-derivatives as nano-delivery systems in tumour therapy is reviewed to illustrate their great application potential.

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
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the effect of preoperative predigested formula vs. polymeric formula on bowel function recovery following definitive surgery (DS) for small intestinal enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF).MethodsIn this retrospective study, from January 2005 to December 2019, the patients with small intestinal EAF and receiving a DS were enrolled. During the preoperative treatment, each patient received enteral nutrition via nasojejunal feeding and chyme reinfusion. The enrolled subjects were classified into two groups, based on their formula type: polymeric formula and predigested formula. Then, propensity scores matching (PSM) was used to further divide these patients into PSM polymeric formula group or PSM predigested formula group. The clinical characteristics of the groups were analyzed.ResultA total of 137 patients were finally enrolled, with 72 patients in the polymeric formula group and 65 patients in predigested formula group. The postoperative ileus was manifested in a total of 61 (44.5%) cases, with 27 (37.5%) in the polymeric formula group and 34 (52.3%) in the predigested formula group (P = 0.04). It was predicted that the polymeric formula could result in a reduction in postoperative ileus (OR = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.21–0.95; P = 0.04). After 1:1 PSM, there were 110 patients included. The postoperative ileus was observed in 47 patients, with 18 (32.7%) in the polymeric formula group and 29 (52.7%) in the predigested formula group (P = 0.03). After PSM, the polymeric formula demonstrated a reduction in the incidence of postoperative ileus (OR = 0.42; 95% CI: 0.19–0.92; P = 0.03).ConclusionCompared with predigested formula, the preoperative polymeric formula appears to be associated with earlier recovery of bowel function after DS for EAF.

Abstract
Aging inducing the development of senescent cells (SNCs) in various tissues is considered as the main cause of the age-related diseases. Senotherapy has become a promising anti-aging therapy. However, the effectivity and side-effect of senolytic agents are still concern. Here, we observed the downregulation of senescence-related genes by adoptive infusion of natural killer (NK) cells in 26 cases in peripheral blood CD3+ T cells. NK cell treatment also significantly decreased levels of senescence markers and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) in three senescent adipose tissues when culturing them together. Interestingly, cytotoxic activity of mouse NK cells against SNCs was significantly enhanced by dopamine in vitro through D1-like receptors. Acein, dopamine-releasing peptide, promoted the adoptive infusion of NK cells in effectively eliminating SNCs in a variety of tissues and reduced local and systemic SASPs in aging mice but Acein alone did not have the senolytic effect. These data demonstrated that adoptive infusion of NK cells is an effective means in removing SNCs, and peptide Acein combined with NK cells further enhances this effect in aging mice.

Abstract
Purpose This study is aimed to reveal the role of preoperative chyme reinfusion (CR) in reducing the complications occurring after definitive surgery (DS) for small intestinal enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF). Methods In this study, from January 2012 to December 2019, the patients with small intestinal EAF and receiving a definitive surgery were recruited. Depending on whether the CR has been performed, these patients were divided into either the CR group or the non-CR group. Then, propensity scores matching (PSM) was used to further divide these patients into the PSM CR group or the PSM none-CR group. The clinical characteristics exhibited by the groups were analyzed, and the effect of preoperative CR was investigated. Result A total of 159 patients were finally recruited with 72 patients in the CR group and 87 patients in the non-CR group. The postoperative complications were manifested in a total of 126 cases (79.3%). There were 49 cases in the CR group, and 77 cases in the non-CR group. CR was associated with the occurrence of postoperative complications (multivariate odds ratio [OR] = 0.289; 95% CI: 0.123-0.733; p = 0.006). After 1:1 PSM, there were 92 patients included. The postoperative complications were observed in 67 out of these 92 patients. There were 26 patients in the PSM CR group, and 41 patients in the PSM non-CR group. CR was associated with postoperative complications (multivariate OR = 0.161; 95% CI: 0.040-0.591; p = 0.002). In addition, CR played a role in reducing the recurrence of fistula both before (multivariate OR = 0.382; 95% CI: 0.174-0.839; p = 0.017) and after (multivariate OR = 0.223; 95% CI: 0.064-0.983; p = 0.034) PSM. In addition, there is a protective factor at play for those patients with postoperative ileus before (multivariate OR = 0.209; 95% CI: 0.095-0.437; p < 0.001) and after (multivariate OR = 0.222; 95% CI: 0.089-0.524; p < 0.001) PSM. However, the relationship between CR and incision-related complications was not observed in this study. Conclusion Preoperative CR is effective in reducing postoperative complications after definitive surgery was performed for EAF.

Abstract
Purpose The present study aimed to identify the predictive value of duration of postoperative hyperlactatemia in screening patients at high risk of recurrent fistula after major definitive surgery (DS) for intestinal fistula. Methods If the initial postoperative lactate (IPL) > 2 mmol/L, DS was defined as major definitive surgery. The 315 enrolled patients with major DS were divided into group A (2 mmol/L < IPL ≤ 4 mmol/L), group B (mmol/L < IPL ≤ 6 mmol/L), and group C (IPL > 6 mmol/L). The characteristics of patients were collected, and the duration of postoperative hyperlactatemia was analyzed. According to the occurrence of recurrent fistula (RF), patients were further divided into RF group A, and Non-RF group A; RF group B, and Non-RF group B; and RF group C, and Non-RF group C. Results The duration of postoperative hyperlactatemia was comparable between the RF group A and the Non-RF group A [12 (IQR: 12–24) vs 24 (IQR: 12–24), p = 0.387]. However, the duration of hyperlactatemia was associated with RF in group B (adjusted OR = 1.061; 95% CI: 1.029–1.094; p < 0.001) and group C (adjusted OR = 1.059; 95% CI: 1.012–1.129; p = 0.017). In group B, the cutoff point of duration of 42 h had the optimal predictive value (area under ROC = 0.791, sensitivity = 0.717, specificity = 0.794, p < 0.001). In group C, the cutoff point of duration of 54 h had the optimal predictive value (area under ROC = 0.781, sensitivity = 0.730, specificity = 0.804, p < 0.001). Conclusion The duration of postoperative hyperlactatemia has a value in predicting RF in patients with an IPL of more than 4 mmol/L after major definitive surgery for intestinal fistula.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the metabolic syndrome with the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) to screen for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a Shanghai population. METHODS Participants aged 25-64 years were recruited from a Shanghai population from July 2019 to March 2020. Each participant underwent a standard metabolic work-up, including clinical examination with anthropometry. Glucose status was tested using hemoglobin A1c (HbAlc), 2h-post-load glucose (2hPG), and fasting blood glucose (FBG). The FINDRISC questionnaire and the metabolic syndrome were examined. The performance of the FINDRISC was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). RESULTS Of the 713 subjects, 9.1% were diagnosed with prediabetes, whereas 5.2% were diagnosed with T2DM. A total of 172 subjects had the metabolic syndrome. A higher FINDRISC score was positively associated with the prevalence of T2DM and the metabolic syndrome. Multivariable linear regression analysis demonstrated that the FINDRISC had a linear regression relationship with 2hPG levels (b'= 036, p < 0.0001). The AUC-ROC of the FINDRISC to identify subjects with T2DM among the total population was 0.708 (95% CI 0.639-0.776), the sensitivity was 44.6%, and the specificity was 90.1%, with 11 as the cut-off point. After adding FBG or 2hPG to the FINDRISC, the AUC-ROC among the total population significantly increased to 0.785 (95% CI 0.671-0.899) and 0.731 (95% CI 0.619-0.843), respectively, while the AUC-ROC among the female group increased to 0.858 (95% CI 0.753-0.964) and 0.823 (95% CI 0.730-0.916), respectively (p < 0.001). The AUC-ROC of the metabolic syndrome to identify subjects with T2DM among the total and female population was 0.805 (95% CI 0.767-0.844) and 0.830 (95% CI 0.788-0.872), respectively, with seven as the cut-off point. CONCLUSIONS The metabolic syndrome performed better than the FINDRISC model. The metabolic syndrome and the FINDRISC with FBG or 2hPG in a two-step screening model are both efficacious clinical practices for predicting T2DM in a Shanghai population.

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 Na+/K+-ATPase α1 subunit (ATP1A1) is a potential target for hepatic carcinoma (HCC) treatment, which plays a key role in Na+/K+ exchange, metabolism, signal transduction, etc. In vivo, we found that Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) could inhibit tumor growth and significantly downregulate the expression and phosphorylation of ATP1A1/AKT/ERK in tumor-bearing mice. Our study aims to explore the potential effects of PNS on the regulation of ATP1A1 and the possible mechanisms of antitumor activity. The effects of PNS on HepG2 cell viability, migration, and apoptosis were examined in vitro. Fluorescence, Western blot, and RT-PCR analyses were used to examine the protein and gene expression. Further analysis was assessed with a Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor (digitonin) and sorafenib in vitro. We found that the ATP1A1 expression was markedly higher in HepG2 cells than in L02 cells and PNS exhibited a dose-dependent effect on the expression of ATP1A and the regulation of AKT/ERK signaling pathways. Digitonin did not affect the expression of ATP1A1 but attenuated the effects of PNS on the regulation of ATP1A1/AKT/ERK signaling pathways and enhanced the antitumor effect of PNS by promoting nuclear fragmentation. Taken together, PNS inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells via downregulation of ATP1A1 and signal transduction. Our findings will aid a data basis for the clinical use of PNS.

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 explore the effect of Huaier granule combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of advanced liver cancer. Methods — From January 2017 to January 2020, 150 patients with advanced liver cancer admitted to our hospital were selected as clinical subjects for a prospective non-randomized controlled study based on different treatment schedules. Among them, 50 patients were distributed to TACE group with TACE treatment alone. Besides, 50 patients were assigned to chemotherapy group and received systemic chemotherapy with Folfox4 regimen alone. Among them, 50 patients were distributed as the observation group. The therapeutic effects of the three groups were compared. Results: The effective rate and disease control rate in observation group were significantly higher than those in TACE group and chemotherapy group (P < 0.05). The rate of adr in observation group and TACE group was significantly lower than that in chemotherapy group (P < 0.05). The survival rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of TACE group and chemotherapy group after 12 months follow-up (P < 0.05). Conclusion — The combined treatment of huaier granule and TACE can improve the therapeutic effect and survival rate of patients with advanced liver cancer.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the difference in the efficacy of pre-operative enteral nutrition (EN) via a nasogastric tube (NGT) and pre-operative EN via a nasointestinal tube (NIT) in reducing the incidence of post-operative acalculous acute cholecystitis (AAC) after definitive surgery (DS) for small intestinal fistulas. Methods: Patients with a small intestinal fistula, who had a DS for the disease between January 2015 and March 2021, were enrolled in this study. They were divided into the NIT group and the NGT group based on the pre-operative routes of feeding they received. The clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed, and the incidences of post-operative AAC in the two groups were evaluated. Results: A total of 200 patients were enrolled in the study, 85 in the NGT group and 115 in the NIT group. Thirty-one patients developed post-operative AAC (8 in the NGT group and 23 in the NIT group). The incidence of post-operative AAC was 15.5%. EN via the NGT route was associated with a reduction in the incidence of post-operative AAC (adjusted HR = 0.359; 95% CI: 0.139–0.931; P = 0.035). Conclusion: Pre-operative EN via the NGT may reduce the incidence of post-operative AAC in patients who received a DS for small intestinal fistulas.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different preoperative enteral nutrition feeding routes on the duration of gastrointestinal decompression after definitive surgery for small intestinal fistula. METHODS From January 2015 to June 2019, patients with small intestinal fistula and receiving a definitive surgery were enrolled. According to the feeding route, patients were divided into a nasointestinal tube group and a nasogastric tube group. Clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed, and the influence of the two route on the recovery of gastrointestinal function was evaluated. RESULT A total of 151 patients were enrolled in our study. There were 49 patients in the nasogastric tube group, and 102 patients in the nasointestinal tube group. Enteral nutrition via nasogastric feeding route had a positive effect on shortening the duration of gastrointestinal decompression (adjusted HR = 2.488, 95% CI: 1.692-3.659, P < 0.001). After propensity matching (PM), 44 patients were enrolled (22 vs 22). EN via nasogastric tube was a positive factor for getting rid of gastrointestinal decompression (adjusted HR = 3.563, 95% CI: 1.639-7.746, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Preoperative enteral nutrition via nasogastric route can reduce the duration of gastrointestinal decompression after definitive surgery for small intestinal fistula.

Abstract
In the present study, we have designed and synthesized a series of 42 novel sulfonylurea compounds with ortho-alkoxy substitutions at the phenyl ring and evaluated their herbicidal activities. Some target compounds showed excellent herbicidal activity against monocotyledon weed species. When applied at 7.5 g ha-1, 6-11 exhibited more potent herbicidal activity against barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and crab grass (Digitaria sanguinalis) than commercial acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS; EC 2.2.1.6) inhibitors triasulfuron, penoxsulam, and nicosulfuron at both pre-emergence and postemergence conditions. 6-11 was safe for peanut for postemergence application at this ultralow dosage, suggesting that it could be considered a potential herbicide candidate for peanut fields. Although 6-11 and triasulfuron share similar chemical structures and have close Ki values for plant AHAS, a significant difference has been observed between their LUMO maps from DFT calculations, which might be a possible factor that leads to their different behaviors toward monocotyledon weed species.

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
In the present work, we report a facile oxalate-derived hydrothermal method to fabricate α-, β- and δ-MnO2 catalysts with hierarchically porous structure and study the phase-dependent behavior for selective oxidation of H2S over MnO2 catalysts. It was disclosed that the oxygen vacancy, reducibility and acid property of MnO2 are essentially determined by the crystalline phase. Systematic experiments demonstrate that δ-MnO2 is superior in active oxygen species, activation energy and H2S adsorption capacity among the prepared catalysts. As a consequence, δ-MnO2 nanosphere with a hierarchically porous structure shows high activity and stability with almost 100% H2S conversion and sulfur selectivity at 210 °C, better than majority of reported Mn-based materials. Meanwhile, hierarchically porous structure of δ-MnO2 nanosphere alleviates the generation of by-product SO2 and sulfate, promoting the adoptability of Mn-based catalysts in industrial applications.
