Abstract
Early detection and treatment of breast cancer can significantly reduce patient mortality, and mammogram is an effective method for early screening. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of mammography based on deep learning can assist radiologists in making more objective and accurate judgments. However, existing methods often depend on datasets with manual segmentation annotations. In addition, due to the large image sizes and small lesion proportions, many methods that do not use region of interest (ROI) mostly rely on multi-scale and multi-feature fusion models. These shortcomings increase the labor, money, and computational overhead of applying the model. Therefore, a deep location soft-embedding-based network with regional scoring (DLSEN-RS) is proposed. DLSEN-RS is an end-to-end mammography image classification method containing only one feature extractor and relies on positional embedding (PE) and aggregation pooling (AP) modules to locate lesion areas without bounding boxes, transfer learning, or multi-stage training. In particular, the introduced PE and AP modules exhibit versatility across various CNN models and improve the model's tumor localization and diagnostic accuracy for mammography images. Experiments are conducted on published INbreast and CBIS-DDSM datasets, and compared to previous state-of-the-art mammographic image classification methods, DLSEN-RS performed satisfactorily.

Abstract
Growing quantities of biomass ashes (phyto-ashs) are currently produced worldwide due to the increasing biomass consumption in energy applications. Utilization of phyto-ash in agriculture is environmentally friendly solution. However, mechanisms involving the coordination of carbon metabolism and distribution in plants and soil amendment are not well known. In the present study, tobacco plants were chemically-fertilized with or without 2‰ phyto-ash addition. The control had sole chemical fertilizer; for two phyto-ash treatments, the one (T1) received comparable levels of nitrogen, phophorus, and potassium from phyto-ash and fertilizers as the control and another (T2) had 2‰ of phyto-ash and the same rates of fertilizers as the control. Compared with the control, phyto-ash addition improved the soil pH from 5.94 to about 6.35; T2 treatment enhanced soil available potassium by 30% but no difference of other elements was recorded among three treatments. Importantly, bacterial (but not fungal) communities were significantly enriched by phyto-ash addition, with the rank of richness as: T2 > T1 > control. Consistent with amelioration of soil properties, phyto-ash promoted plant growth through enlarged leaf area and photosynthesis and induced outgrowth of lateral roots (LRs). Interestingly, increased auxin content was recorded in 2nd and 3rd leaves and roots under phyto-ash application, also with the rank level as T2 > T1 > control, paralleling with higher transcripts of auxin synthetic genes in the topmost leaf and stronger [3H]IAA activity under phyto-ash addition. Furthermore, exogenous application of analog exogenous auxin (NAA) restored leaf area, photosynthesis and LR outgrowth to the similar level as T2 treatment; conversely, application of auxin transport inhibitor (NPA) under T2 treatment retarded leaf and root development. We demonstrated that phyto-ash addition improved soil properties and thus facilitated carbon balance within plants and biomass accumulation in which shifting auxin distribution plays an important role.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) surgery has recently been used as a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis and is associated with less perioperative blood loss. However, perioperative hidden blood loss (HBL) may be neglected during UBE. This study aimed to examine the volume of HBL and discuss the influential risk factors for HBL during unilateral biportal endoscopic surgery. METHODS From January 2022 to August 2022, 51 patients underwent percutaneous unilateral biportal endoscopic surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis at the Department of Spinal Surgery of the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University and were enrolled in this study. The data included general indicators (age, sex and body mass index [BMI]), underlying disease (hypertension and diabetes), laboratory test results (prothrombin time [PT], activated partial thromboplastin time [APTT], fibrinogen [Fbg]), and preoperative and postoperative hematocrit and hemoglobin), related imaging parameters (severity of intervertebral disc [IVD] degeneration and soft tissue thickness of the interlaminar approach), number of operated vertebrae and operation time. Total blood loss (TBL) and HBL during surgical procedures were measured via the Gross formula. Influential factors were further analyzed by multivariate linear regression analysis and t-tests. RESULTS The mean HBL was 257.89 ± 190.66 mL for single-operation patients and 296.58 ± 269.75 mL for two-operation patients. Patients with lower PT (p = 0.044), deeper tissue thickness (p = 0.047), and diabetes mellitus were determined to have more HBL during UBE. The operation time might also be an important factor (p = 0.047). However, sex (p = 0.265), age (p = 0.771/0.624), BMI (p = 0.655/0.664), APTT (p = 0.545/0.751), degree of degenerated IVD (p = 0.932/0.477), and hypertension (p = 0.356/0.896) were not related to HBL. CONCLUSION This study determined the different influential factors of HBL during UBE. PT, tissue thickness, and diabetes mellitus are the independent risk factors that affect HBL incidence. Long PT may decrease the volume of HBL within a certain range. Tissue thickness and diabetes mellitus can lead to an increased volume of HBL.

Abstract
The innovative application of Crowd Intelligent Devices (CIDS) in edge networks has garnered attention due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence and computer technology. This application offers users more reliable and low-latency computing services through computation offloading technology. However, the dynamic nature of network terminals and the limited coverage of edge servers pose challenges, such as data loss and service interruption. Furthermore, the high-speed mobility of intelligent terminals in the dynamic edge network environment further complicates the design of computation offloading and service migration strategies. To address these challenges, this paper explores the computation offloading model of cluster intelligence collaboration in a heterogeneous network environment. This model involves multiple intelligences collaborating to provide computation offloading services for terminals. To accommodate various roles, a switching strategy of split-cluster group collaboration is introduced, assigning the cluster head, the alternate cluster head, and the ordinary user are assigned to a group with different functions. Additionally, the paper formulates the optimal offloading strategy for group smart terminals as a Markov decision process, taking into account factors such as user mobility, service delay, service accuracy, and migration cost. To implement this strategy, the paper utilizes the deep reinforcement learning-based CCSMS algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed edge network service migration strategy, rooted in groupwise cluster collaboration, effectively mitigates interruption delay and enhances service migration efficiency.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of cerium oxide nanoenzyme-gelatin methacrylate anhydride (GelMA) hydrogel (hereinafter referred to as composite hydrogel) in the repair of infected full-thickness skin defect wounds in mice. Methods: This study was an experimental study. Cerium oxide nanoenzyme with a particle size of (116±9) nm was prepared by hydrothermal method, and GelMA hydrogel with porous network structure and good gelling performance was also prepared. The 25 μg/mL cerium oxide nanoenzyme which could significantly promote the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts and had high superoxide dismutase activity was screened out. It was added to GelMA hydrogel to prepare composite hydrogel. The percentage of cerium oxide nanoenzyme released from the composite hydrogel was calculated after immersing it in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) for 3 and 7 d. The red blood cell suspension of mice was divided into PBS group, Triton X-100 group, cerium oxide nanoenzyme group, GelMA hydrogel group, and composite hydrogel group, which were treated with corresponding solution. The hemolysis of red blood cells was detected by microplate reader after 1 h of treatment. The bacterial concentrations of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli were determined after being cultured with PBS, cerium oxide nanoenzyme, GelMA hydrogel, and composite hydrogel for 2 h. The sample size in all above experiments was 3. Twenty-four 8-week-old male BALB/c mice were taken, and a full-thickness skin defect wound was prepared in the symmetrical position on the back and infected with MRSA. The mice were divided into control group without any drug intervention, and cerium oxide nanoenzyme group, GelMA hydrogel group, and composite hydrogel group applied with corresponding solution, with 6 mice in each group. The wound healing was observed on 3, 7, and 14 d after injury, and the remaining wound areas on 3 and 7 d after injury were measured (the sample size was 5). The concentration of MRSA in the wound exudation of mice on 3 d after injury was measured (the sample size was 3), and the blood flow perfusion in the wound of mice on 5 d after injury was observed using a laser speckle flow imaging system (the sample size was 6). On 14 d after injury, the wound tissue of mice was collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe the newly formed epithelium and for Masson staining to observe the collagen situation (the sample size was both 3). Results: After immersion for 3 and 7 d, the release percentages of cerium oxide nanoenzyme in the composite hydrogel were about 39% and 75%, respectively. After 1 h of treatment, compared with that in Triton X-100 group, the hemolysis of red blood cells in PBS group, GelMA hydrogel group, cerium oxide nanoenzyme group, and composite hydrogel group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with that cultured with PBS, the concentrations of MRSA and Escherichia coli cultured with cerium oxide nanoenzyme, GelMA hydrogel, and composite hydrogel for 2 h were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The wounds of mice in the four groups were gradually healed from 3 to 14 d after injury, and the wounds of mice in composite hydrogel group were all healed on 14 d after injury. On 3 and 7 d after injury, the remaining wound areas of mice in composite hydrogel group were (29±3) and (13±5) mm2, respectively, which were significantly smaller than (56±12) and (46±10) mm2 in control group and (51±7) and (38±8) mm2 in cerium oxide nanoenzyme group (with P values all <0.05), but was similar to (41±5) and (24±9) mm2 in GelMA hydrogel group (with P values both >0.05). On 3 d after injury, the concentration of MRSA on the wound of mice in composite hydrogel group was significantly lower than that in control group, cerium oxide nanoenzyme group, and GelMA hydrogel group, respectively (with P values all <0.05). On 5 d after injury, the volume of blood perfusion in the wound of mice in composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that in control group, cerium oxide nanoenzyme group, and GelMA hydrogel group, respectively (P<0.05). On 14 d after injury, the wound of mice in composite hydrogel group basically completed epithelization, and the epithelization was significantly better than that in the other three groups. Compared with that in the other three groups, the content of collagen in the wound of mice in composite hydrogel group was significantly increased, and the arrangement was also more orderly. Conclusions: The composite hydrogel has good biocompatibility and antibacterial effect in vivo and in vitro. It can continuously sustained release cerium oxide nanoenzyme, improve wound blood perfusion in the early stage, and promote wound re-epithelialization and collagen synthesis, therefore promoting the healing of infected full-thickness skin defect wounds in mice.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver malignant tumor with complex pathogenesis and a poor prognosis. Metabolic reprogramming has been recognized as one of the important cancer markers, and the liver, as an important organ for lipid metabolism in the human body, plays an important role in the process of the occurrence and development of HCC. More and more evidence shows that long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can influence the lipid metabolism process by regulating key enzymes and transcription factors, as well as being involved in the occurrence and development of HCC. Therefore, explicating the mechanism of lncRNA in lipid metabolism reprogramming is conducive to providing new targets and strategies for the diagnosis and treatment and improving the prognosis of HCC patients. This article summarizes the latest research progress on the involvement of lncRNA in the reprogramming process of HCC lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Disitamab vedotin (RC48) is a novel cleavable antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that has shown promising preclinical activity in HER2-positive breast cancer. However, real-world data regarding its efficacy and safety is lacking, especially in patients previously treated with trastuzumab and heavily treated patients. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of RC48 in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in non-clinical trial settings. Eighty-one patients with metastatic HER2-positive BC who received RC48 in Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute between September 2021 to November 2022 were included in this study. The primary endpoints were real-world progression-free survival (RWPFS) and objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints included safety and exploratory subgroup analyses. Results showed that the median RWPFS was 5.9 months, and the ORR was 29.6%, including one patient who achieved complete remission. Two-thirds of the patients had received more than one line of prior anti-HER2 treatment, and 76.6% were exposed to anti-HER2 monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients who received RC48 in ≤3 lines of treatment had significantly longer RWPFS than those who received it in ≥4 lines of treatment. The median RWPFS of RC48 in patients with trastuzumab resistance and refractoriness was 6.5 months and 5.6 months, respectively. The sequence of pyrotinib and RC48 did not influence their total efficacy. To conclude, RC48 exhibited promising efficacy in HER2-positive MBC with manageable toxicity, particularly in patients previously treated with trastuzumab and those who had undergone extensive treatment. RC48 exhibited potent activity for patients regardless of trastuzumab resistance or refractory. The sequence of pyrotinib and RC48 did not influence their total efficacy, indicating no cross-resistance.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) plays a critical role in transcription initiation and is essential for maintaining gene silencing at heterochromatic loci. Inhibition of CDK9 increases sensitivity to immunotherapy, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We now report that RNF20 stabilizes LSD1 via K29-mediated ubiquitination, which is dependent on CDK9-mediated phosphorylation. This CDK9- and RNF20-dependent LSD1 stabilization is necessary for the demethylation of histone H3K4, then subsequent repression of endogenous retrovirus, and an interferon response, leading to epigenetic immunosuppression. Moreover, we found that loss of RNF20 sensitizes cancer cells to the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-1 in vivo and that this effect can be rescued by the expression of ectopic LSD1. Our findings are supported by the observation that RNF20 levels correlate with LSD1 levels in human breast cancer specimens. This study sheds light on the role of RNF20 in CDK9-dependent LSD1 stabilization, which is crucial for epigenetic silencing and immunosuppression. Our findings explore the potential importance of targeting the CDK9-RNF20-LSD1 axis in the development of new cancer therapies.

Abstract
Delayed wound healing is a public issue that imposes a significant burden on both society and the patients themselves. To date, although numerous methods have been developed to accelerate the speed of wound closure, the therapeutic effects are partially limited due to the complex procedures, high costs, potential side effects, and ethical concerns. While some studies have reported that the in-vivo application of Human Parathyroid Hormone (1-34) (hPTH(1-34)) promotes the wound-healing process, the definitive role and underlying mechanisms through which it regulates the behavior of fibroblasts and keratinocytes remains unclear. Herein, hPTH(1-34)'s role in cell migration is evaluated with a series of in-vitro and in-vivo studies, whereby hPTH(1-34)'s underlying mechanism in activating the two types of cells was detected. The in-vitro study revealed that hPTH(1-34) enhanced the migration of both fibroblasts and HaCaT cells. Ras-associated C3 botulinum toxin subunit 1 (Rac1), a classical member of the Rho family, was upregulated in hPTH(1-34)-treated fibroblasts and HaCaT cells. Further study by silencing the expression of Rac1 with siRNA reversed the hPTH(1-34)-enhanced cell migration, thus confirming that Rac1 was involved in hPTH(1-34)-induced cell behavior. In-vivo study on rat wound models confirmed the effects of hPTH(1-34) on fibroblasts and keratinocytes, with increased collagen deposition, fibroblasts accumulation, and Rac1 expression in the hPTH(1-34)-treated wounds. In summary, the present study demonstrated that hPTH(1-34) accelerated wound healing through enhancing the migration of cells through the up-regulation of Rac1 expression.

Abstract
Cisplatin (DDP) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), but its efficacy can be limited by chemoresistance. This study aimed to explore the functional mechanism of SR-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) in DDP chemosensitivity of TNBC cells. Levels of SRSF1, circular RNA septin 9 (circSEPT9), and GTP cyclohydrolase-1 (GCH1) in TNBC cells, DDP-resistant cells, and normal cells were determined. Cell viability, half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value, and proliferation were evaluated. Ferroptosis was determined by assay kits (ferric ion/ROS/MDA/GSH) and Western blot assay (SLC7A11/ACSL4). The genetic binding was analyzed by RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays. SRSF1, circSEPT9, and GCH1 were upregulated in TNBC cells. SRSF1 downregulation reduced IC50 to DDP of parent and drug-resistant TNBC cells and inhibited cell viability and proliferation, meanwhile, the downregulation reduced GSH/SLC7A11 levels while elevated ferric ion/ROS/MDA/ACSL4 levels, promoting ferroptosis. SRSF1 bound to and upregulated circSEPT9 and circSEPT9 blocked the ubiquitination of GCH1, thereby increasing GCH1 protein level. Overexpression of circSEPT9 and GCH1 attenuated the DDP chemosensitivity of TNBC cells by inhibiting ferroptosis. This study is the first to report the role of SRSF1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in TNBC, which provides a promising strategy for the treatment of TNBC. SIGNIFICANCE: Cisplatin (DDP) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), but its efficacy can be limited by chemoresistance. This study aimed to unravel the molecular mechanism of SR-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) in DDP chemosensitivity of TNBC cells.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that heat stress pathophysiology is associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, local and systemic inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. However, inconclusive results and a poor description of tissue-specific changes must be addressed to identify potential intervention targets against heat stress illness in growing calves. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate components of the intestinal barrier, pro- and anti-inflammatory signals, and microbiota community composition in Holstein bull calves exposed to heat stress. Animals (mean age = 12 wk old; mean body weight = 122 kg) penned individually in temperature-controlled rooms were assigned to (1) thermoneutral conditions (constant room temperature at 19.5°C) and restricted offer of feed (TNR, n = 8), or (2) heat stress conditions (cycles of room temperatures ranging from 20 to 37.8°C) along with ad libitum offer of feed (HS, n = 8) for 7 d. Upon treatment completion, sections of the jejunum, ileum, and colon were collected and snap-frozen immediately to evaluate gene and protein expression, cytokine concentrations, and myeloperoxidase activity. Digesta aliquots of the ileum, colon, and rectum were collected to assess bacterial communities. Plasma was harvested on d 2, 5, and 7 to determine cytokine concentrations. Overall, results showed a section-specific effect of HS on intestinal integrity. Jejunal mRNA expression of TJP1 was decreased by 70.9% in HS relative to TNR calves. In agreement, jejunal expression of heat shock transcription factor-1 protein, a known tight junction protein expression regulator, decreased by 48% in HS calves. Jejunal analyses showed that HS decreased concentrations of IL-1α by 36.6% and tended to decrease the concentration of IL-17A. Conversely, HS elicited a 3.5-fold increase in jejunal concentration of anti-inflammatory IL-36 receptor antagonist. Plasma analysis of pro-inflammatory cytokines showed that IL-6 decreased by 51% in HS relative to TNR calves. Heat stress alteration of the large intestine bacterial communities was characterized by increased genus Butyrivibrio_3, a known butyrate-producing organism, and changes in bacteria metabolism of energy and AA. A strong positive correlation between the rectal temperature and pro-inflammatory Eggerthii spp. was detected in HS calves. In conclusion, this work indicates that HS impairs the intestinal barrier function of jejunum. The pro- and anti-inflammatory signal changes may be part of a broader response to restore intestinal homeostasis in jejunum. The changes in large intestine bacterial communities favoring butyrate-producing organisms (e.g., Butyrivibrio spp.) may be part of a successful response to maintain the integrity of the colonic mucosa of HS calves. The alteration of intestinal homeostasis should be the target for heat stress therapies to restore biological functions, and, thus highlights the relevance of this work.

Abstract
Amorphous nanomaterials have drawn extensive attention owing to their unique features, while amorphization on noble metal nanomaterials still remains formidably challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a universal strategy to synthesize amorphous Pd-based nanomaterials from unary to quinary metals through the introduction of phosphorus (P). The amorphous Pd-based nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit generally promoted oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and durability compared with their crystalline counterparts. Significantly, the quinary P-PdCuNiInSn NPs, benefiting from the amorphous structure and multimetallic component effect, exhibit mass activities as high as 1.04 A mgPd-1 and negligible activity decays of 1.8% among the stability tests, which are much better than values for original Pd NPs (0.134 A mgPd-1 and 28.4%). Experimental and theoretical analyses collectively reveal that the synergy of P-induced amorphization and the expansion of metallic components can considerably lower the free energy changes in the rate-determined step, thereby explaining the positive correlation with the catalytic activity.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, with rapid progression and a poor prognosis. More and more studies have shown that there are small open reading frames (sORFs) on the molecular sequences of a large number of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which can encode conserved peptides that play an important role in controlling the occurrence and development of HCC. This article introduces the discovery, prediction, and validation methods of ncRNA-encoding polypeptides and reviews its research progress, with the aim of providing new targets and ideas for early-stage diagnosis, targeted therapy, and prognosis assessment of HCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE The residual cancer burden index (RCB) was proposed as a response evaluation criterion in breast cancer patients treated with Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC). This study evaluated the relevance of RCB with replase-free survival (RFS). METHODS The clinical data of 254 breast cancer patients who received NAC between 2016 and 2020 were retrospectively collected. The relationship between clinicopathologic factors and RFS was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression models. RFS estimates were determined by Kaplan-Meier(K-M) analysis and compared using the log-rank test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors associated with RCB. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed the potential of the RCB and MP grading systems as biomarkers for RFS. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 52 months, 59 patients(23.23%) developed relapse. Multivariate Cox regression showed that older age (P = 0.022), high Pathologic T stage after NAC (P = 0.023) and a high RCB score(P = 0.003) were risk factors for relapse. The outcomes of the multivariate logistic analysis indicated that RCB 0 (pathologic complete response [pCR]) was associated with HER2-positive patients (P = 0.002) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients (P = 0.013). In addition, the RCB and MP scoring systems served as prognostic markers for patients who received NAC, and their area under curves (AUCs) were 0.691 and 0.342, respectively. CONCLUSION These data suggest that RCB can be equally applied to predict RFS in Chinese patients with NAC. The application of RCB may help guide the selection of treatment strategies.

Abstract
The consensus problem of discrete time-varying linear multi-agent systems (MASs) is studied in this paper. First, an event-triggered intermittent control (ETIC) protocol is designed, aided by a class of auxiliary functions. Under this protocol, some sufficient conditions for all agents to achieve consensus are established by constructing an error dynamical system and applying the Lyapunov function. Second, in order to further reduce the communication burden, an improved event triggered intermittent control (I-ETIC) strategy is presented, along with corresponding convergence analysis. Notably, the difference between the two control protocols lies in the fact that the former protocol only determines when to control or not based on the trigger conditions, while the latter, building upon this, designs new event trigger conditions for the update of the controller during the control stage. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no drugs on the market that can reverse or slow Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. A protease-resistant Cholecystokinin (CCK) analogue used in this study is based on the basic structure of CCK, which further increases the stability of the peptide fragment and prolongs its half-life in vivo. We observed a neuroprotective effect of CCK-8L in APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) AD mice. However, its corresponding mechanisms still need to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE This study examined CCK-8L's neuroprotective effects in enhancing cognitive impairment by regulating mitochondrial dynamics through AMPK/Drp1 pathway in the APP/PS1 AD mice. METHODS Behavioural tests are applied to assess competence in cognitive functions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed to observe the ultrastructure of mitochondria of hippocampal neurons, Immunofluorescent staining was employed to assay for Aβ1-42, APP, Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and dynamin-related protein1 (Drp1). CRISPR/Cas9 was utilized for targeted knockout of the CCKB receptor (CCKBR) in the mouse APP/PS1 hippocampal CA1 region. A model of lentiviral vector-mediated overexpression of APP in N2a cells was constructed. RESULTS In vivo, experiments revealed that CCK analogue and liraglutide significantly alleviated cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 mice, reduced Aβ1-42 expression, and ameliorated l damage, which is associated with CCKBR activation in the hippocampal CA1 region of mice. In vitro tests showed that CCK inhibited mitochondrial fission and promoted fusion through AMPK/Drp1 pathway. CONCLUSIONS CCK analogue ameliorates cognitive deficits and regulates mitochondrial dynamics by activating the CCKB receptor and the AMPK/Drp1 pathway in AD mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) of breast cancer is closely related to a better prognosis. However, there are no reliable indicators to accurately identify which patients will achieve pCR before surgery, and a model for predicting pCR to NAC is required. METHODS A total of 269 breast cancer patients in Shandong Cancer Hospital and Liaocheng People's Hospital receiving anthracycline and taxane-based NAC were prospectively enrolled. Expression profiling using a 457 cancer-related gene sequencing panel (DNA sequencing) covering genes recurrently mutated in breast cancer was carried out on 243 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor biopsies samples before NAC from 243 patients. The unique personalized panel of nine individual somatic mutation genes from the constructed model was used to detect and analyze ctDNA on 216 blood samples. Blood samples were collected at indicated time points including before chemotherapy initiation, after the 1st NAC and before the 2nd NAC cycle, during intermediate evaluation, and prior to surgery. In this study, we characterized the value of gene profile mutation and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in combination with clinical characteristics in the prediction of pCR before surgery and investigated the prognostic prediction. The median follow-up time for survival analysis was 898 days. RESULTS Firstly, we constructed a predictive NAC response model including five single nucleotide variant (SNV) mutations (TP53, SETBP1, PIK3CA, NOTCH4 and MSH2) and four copy number variation (CNV) mutations (FOXP1-gain, EGFR-gain, IL7R-gain, and NFKB1A-gain) in the breast tumor, combined with three clinical factors (luminal A, Her2 and Ki67 status). The tumor prediction model showed good discrimination of chemotherapy sensitivity for pCR and non-pCR with an AUC of 0.871 (95% CI, 0.797-0.927) in the training set, 0.771 (95% CI, 0.649-0.883) in the test set, and 0.726 (95% CI, 0.556-0.865) in an extra test set. This tumor prediction model can also effectively predict the prognosis of disease-free survival (DFS) with an AUC of 0.749 at 1 year and 0.830 at 3 years. We further screened the genes from the tumor prediction model to establish a unique personalized panel consisting of 9 individual somatic mutation genes to detect and analyze ctDNA. It was found that ctDNA positivity decreased with the passage of time during NAC, and ctDNA status can predict NAC response and metastasis recurrence. Finally, we constructed the chemotherapy prediction model combined with the tumor prediction model and pretreatment ctDNA levels, which has a better prediction effect of pCR with the AUC value of 0.961. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we established a chemotherapy predictive model with a non-invasive tool that is built based on genomic features, ctDNA status, as well as clinical characteristics for predicting pCR to recognize the responders and non-responders to NAC, and also predicting prognosis for DFS in breast cancer. Adding pretreatment ctDNA levels to a model containing gene profile mutation and clinical characteristics significantly improves stratification over the clinical variables alone.

Abstract
Pyrotinib, an irreversible pan-ErbB inhibitor, has been approved for treating HER2-positive advanced breast cancer in China. We conducted a nationwide, prospective observational study to examine the real-world data of pyrotinib-based therapy in this population. Patients from 61 sites across China were included. Pyrotinib-based regimens were prescribed at local physician's discretion. Demographics, treatment patterns, prognosis and safety were evaluated. The primary outcome was real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS). Of 1129 patients, pyrotinib-based therapy was prescribed as first-, second- and third- or later-line treatment in 437 (38.7%), 476 (42.2%) and 216 (19.1%) patients, respectively. Median rwPFS (mrwPFS) was 14.3 (95% CI, 13.3-15.2) months in the total population, with the longest mrwPFS of 17.8 (95% CI, 15.2-24.9) months in the first-line setting, followed by 14.4 (95% CI, 12.9-15.3) months in the second-line setting. Patients with third- or later-line treatment also achieved a mrwPFS of 9.3 (95% CI, 8.4-11.8) months. Patients with trastuzumab- or trastuzumab-pertuzumab-treated disease achieved a mrwPFS of 14.3 and 13.6 months, respectively. Dual HER2 blockade with pyrotinib plus trastuzumab showed a mrwPFS of 16.2 months in the total population, with data not mature in the first-line setting. For patients with baseline brain metastases, the mrwPFS was 11.7 months. The most common adverse event was diarrhea (any grade, 73.5%; grade ≥ 3, 15.3%). In real world, pyrotinib-based therapy shows promising effectiveness in the first-, as well as second- and later-line treatment, with acceptable tolerability. Further investigations regarding front-line use or novel combinations of pyrotinib might facilitate to maximize its anti-tumor potential.

Abstract
Objective Bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing have been the gold standard for confirming community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infection in breast abscess with a long history. However, these tests may delay treatment and increase the risk of nosocomial infections. To handle and improve this critical situation, this study aimed to explore biomarkers that could facilitate the rapid diagnosis of CA-MRSA infection. Methods This study for the first time applied label-free quantitative proteomics and non-targeted metabonomics to identify potential differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) in breast abscess infected with CA-MRSA compared to methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA). The two omics data were integrated and analyzed using bioinformatics, and the results were validated using Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the identified biomarkers for diagnosing CA-MRSA infection. Results After using the above-mentioned strategies, 109 DEPs were identified, out of which 86 were upregulated and 23 were downregulated. Additionally, a total of 61 and 26 DEMs were initially screened in the positive and negative ion modes, respectively. A conjoint analysis indicated that the amino acid metabolism, glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways were co-enriched by the upstream DEPs and downstream DEMs, which may be involved in structuring the related network of CA-MRSA infection. Furthermore, three significant DEMs, namely, indole-3-acetic acid, L-(-)-methionine, and D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate, displayed good discriminative abilities in early identification of CA-MRSA infection in ROC analysis. Conclusion As there is limited high-quality evidence and multiple omics research in this field, the explored candidate biomarkers and pathways may provide new insights into the early diagnosis and drug resistance mechanisms of CA-MRSA infection in Chinese women.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacteria are spreading at alarming rates, and despite extensive efforts, no new antibiotic class with activity against Gram-negative bacteria has been approved in over 50 years. LepB inhibitors (LepBi) based on the arylomycin class of natural products are a novel class of antibiotics and function by inhibiting the bacterial type I signal peptidase (SPase) in Gram-negative bacteria. One critical aspect of LepBi development involves optimization of the membrane-anchored lipophilic portion of the molecule. We therefore developed an approach that assesses the effect of this portion on the complicated equilibria of plasma protein binding, crossing the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and anchoring in the bacterial inner membrane to facilitate SPase binding. Our findings provide important insights into the development of antibacterial agents where the target is associated with the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Lung inflammation, caused by acute exposure to ozone (O3) - one of the six criteria air pollutants - is a significant source of morbidity in susceptible individuals. Alveolar macrophages (AMØs) are the most abundant immune cells in the normal lung and their number increases following O3 exposure. However, the role of AMØs in promoting or limiting O3-induced lung inflammation has not been clearly defined. Here, we used a mouse model of acute O3 exposure, lineage tracing, genetic knockouts, and data from O3-exposed human volunteers to define the role and ontogeny of AMØs during acute O3 exposure. Lineage tracing experiments showed that 12, 24, and 72 h after exposure to O3 (2 ppm) for 3h all AMØs were tissue-resident origin. Similarly, in humans exposed to FA and O3 (200 ppb) for 135 minutes, we did not observe ~21h post-exposure an increase in monocyte-derived AMØs by flow cytometry. Highlighting a role for tissue-resident AMØs, we demonstrate that depletion of tissue-resident AMØs with clodronate-loaded liposomes led to persistence of neutrophils in the alveolar space after O3 exposure, suggesting that impaired neutrophil clearance (i.e., efferocytosis) leads to prolonged lung inflammation. Moreover, depletion of tissue-resident AMØ demonstrated reduced clearance of intratracheally instilled apoptotic Jurkat cells, consistent with reduced efferocytosis. Genetic ablation of MerTK - a key receptor involved in efferocytosis - also resulted in impaired clearance of apoptotic neutrophils followed O3 exposure. Overall, these findings underscore the pivotal role of tissue-resident AMØs in resolving O3-induced inflammation via MerTK-mediated efferocytosis.

Abstract
We managed to explore the function of HFY-4A, a novel histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitor, on breast cancer as well as its potential mechanisms. MCF7 and T47D cells were treated with 0.8, 1.6 or 3.2 μM HFY-4A for 0-72 h, following of which CCK-8, colony formation, EdU staining, flow cytometry, Transwell, and wound healing assays were carried out. Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA were conducted for assaying the expression of immunogenic cell death (ICD)-related proteins. The interaction between HFY-4A, HDAC1, and tumor suppressor candidate 2 (TUSC2) was evaluated by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Further, the function of HFY-4A in breast cancer progression in vivo was evaluated using xenograft mouse models. HFY-4A inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion, and induced apoptosis of breast cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. HFY-4A dose-dependently caused the ICD of breast cancer cells, as evidenced by the significant high levels of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), calreticulin (CRT), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and HSP90. Interestingly, HFY-4A could facilitate TUSC2 transcription by promoting acetylation of histones on the TUSC2 promoter. The results of rescue assays revealed that HFY-4A repressed proliferation and mobility, but enhanced apoptosis and ICD through facilitating TUSC2 transcription in breast cancer. In breast cancer xenograft mouse models, HFY-4A was verified to inhibit tumor growth via upregulating TUSC2. HFY-4A could inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation and mobility, and enhanced apoptosis and ICD through facilitating TUSC2 transcription.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common progressive neurodegenerative disease. The Ubiquitin-Protease system (UPS), which plays important roles in maintaining protein homeostasis in eukaryotic cells, is involved in the development of AD. This study sought to identify differential UPS-related genes (UPGs) in AD patients by using bioinformatic methods, reveal potential biomarkers for early detection of AD, and investigate the association between the identified biomarkers and immune cell infiltration in AD. METHODS The differentially expressed UPGs were screened with bioinformatics analyses using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) analysis was performed to explore the key gene modules associated with AD. A Single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) analysis was peformed to explore the patterns of immune cells in the brain tissue of AD patients. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to examine the expression of hub genes in blood samples from healthy controls and AD patients. RESULTS In this study, we identified four UPGs (USP3, HECW2, PSMB7, and UBE2V1) using multiple bioinformatic analyses. Furthermore, three UPGs (USP3, HECW2, PSMB7) that are strongly correlated with the clinical features of AD were used to construct risk score prediction markers to diagnose and predict the severity of AD. Subsequently, we analyzed the patterns of immune cells in the brain tissue of AD patients and the associations between immune cells and the three key UPGs. Finally, the risk score model was verified in several datasets of AD and showed good accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Three key UPGs are identified as potential biomarker for AD patients. These genes may provide new targets for the early identification of AD patients.

Abstract
The long-term success rate of dental implants can be improved by establishing a favorable biological sealing with a high-quality epithelial attachment. The application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) holds promise for facilitating the soft tissue integration around implants, but the molecular mechanism is still unclear and the general application of MSC sheet for soft tissue integration is also relatively unexplored. We found that gingival tissue-derived MSC (GMSC) sheet treatment significantly promoted the expression of hemidesmosome (HD)-related genes and proteins in gingival epithelial cells (GECs). The formation of HDs played a key role in strengthening peri-implant epithelium (PIE) sealing. Further, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing showed that GMSC sheet significantly upregulated the PI3K/AKT pathway, confirming that cell adhesion and HD expression in GECs were regulated by GMSC sheet. We observed that the expression of transcription factor CREB3L2 in GECs was downregulated. After treatment with PI3K pathway inhibitor LY294002, CREB3L2 messenger RNA and protein expression levels were upregulated. Further experiments showed that overexpression or knockdown of CREB3L2 could significantly inhibit or promote HD-related genes and proteins, respectively. We confirmed that CREB3L2 was a transcription factor downstream of the PI3K/AKT pathway and participated in the formation of HDs regulated by GMSC sheet. Finally, through the establishment of early implant placement model in rats, we clarified the molecular function of CREB3L2 in PIE sealing as a mechanical transmission molecule in GECs. The application of GMSC sheet-implant complex could enhance the formation of HDs at the implant-PIE interface and decrease the penetration distance of horseradish peroxidase between the implant and PIE. Meanwhile, GMSC sheet reduced the length of CREB3L2 protein expression on PIE. These findings elucidate the potential function and molecular mechanism of MSC sheet regulating the epithelial sealing around implants, providing new insights and ideas for the application of stem cell therapy in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Standard translational shifts of the Clinical Target volume (CTV) to generate the Planning Target Volume (PTV) do not account for rotations. Head and neck positional misalignments derive in large part from rotations due to cervical spine arching and twisting in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Translational expansions do not track rotations, yielding coverage envelopes that unnecessarily overlap with adjacent structures. This work examines whether principal component analysis of the motion along all 6 degrees of freedom may be used to produce a more favorable PTV. MATERIALS/METHODS Seventy-five CBCTs of ten oropharyngeal cases were included. The records of couch shifts needed to align individual bony structures (C1-5, mandible and mastoid) between the planning image and CBCTs were recorded. A Principal Component Analysis of the shifts was used to generate an ellipsoid inflation of each CTV vertex along 6 degrees of freedom. The result was compared to a 3D ellipsoid based translational expansion, and to a described ellipsoid based vertex expansion along 6 degrees of freedom, with axes oriented in parallel to the treatment reference frame. RESULTS Themean (x, y) shifts in mm needed to align individually bodies C1 - C5 were respectively (-0.4, 0.5), (+.5, -0.2), (+-0.2, -0.2), (-0.2, +0.4), and (-0.5, +0.7), the monophasic pattern showing acquired curvature along both axes during treatment and demanding a PTV for coverage. A PTV was constructed using a described 6D ellipsoidal based boundary point expansion aligned along the reference frame axis or using a new theory to align against the principal components of the motion. A cyclical one-out method was used to validate the PTV models. Selected confidence intervals yielded complete coverage in >80% weeks in 80% cases. Validation testing disclosed similar complete coverage in 83-86% weekly CBCTs in the test cases with either method. The PCA 6D PTV could yield less normal structure overlap. A one out method was used to test overlap avoidance from PTVs constructed from a population of weekly CBCTs drawn from seven cases with one excluded. PTVs were drawn around target and constrictors on an extraneous case and imaged on a CT slice. Both a rolling 'ball' expansion of the vertices that applies a 3D translational ellipsoid and a PTV constructed using a 6D ellipsoid aligned against the standard reference frame overlapped with all or nearly all the constrictors in all but one trial (1/7). The 6D ellipsoid aligned against the principal motion components spared >70% of a constrictor in all trials (7/7). CONCLUSION PTVs remain needed to ensure target coverage in head and neck radiotherapy even with daily CT accuracy because of acquired spinal curvatures resulting in rotational displacements. A described 6D ellipsoid oriented to the reference frame can yield good coverage, but with unneeded constrictor coverage. A PCA analysis yields a PTV with equally good coverage but able to spare 70% of a constrictor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although neoadjuvant trastuzumab and pertuzumab (HP)-based regimens are recommended for human epidermal receptor-positive (HER2 +)/lymph node-positive (N +) breast cancer (BC) patients according to NCCN guidelines, it is undeniable that many patients achieved pathological complete response (pCR) after trastuzumab (H)-based regimens without adding pertuzumab to treatment. Patients who specifically benefit from pertuzumab must be identified. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate progesterone receptor (PR) status as a predictor of response to the addition of pertuzumab in HER2 + /N + breast cancer. METHODS One hundred forty-two patients who were diagnosed as HER2 + /N + BC without distant metastasis and followed by neoadjuvant HP-based or H-based therapy were retrospectively included. The endpoints were pCR and disease-free survival (DFS) times. RESULTS In total, the pCR occurred in 25 of 87 patients (28.74%) in group H compared with 32 of 55 (58.18%) in group HP. The results revealed that hormone receptor (HR) status was significantly different on pCR in group HP. The odds of pCR for patients who have HR-positive tumors were 0.160 times (P = 0.011) that for patients with HR-negative tumors by multivariable analysis. Moreover, a similar probability of PR-positive (PR +) patients, whatever estrogen receptor (ER) status was, achieving pCR in group HP was observed. The ROC curves showed different anti-HER2 regimens provide worst predictive value in the PR + cohort (N = AUC = 0.521, 95% CI: 0.348-0.694, P = 0.813) compared with the overall cohort (AUC = 0.644, 95% CI: 0.550-0.738, P = 0.004) and ER + cohort (AUC: 0.559, 95% CI: 0.405-0.713, P = 0.451). And PR status (AUC = 0.760, 95% CI: 0.626-0.894, P = 0.001) had a greater predictive value than ER status (AUC = 0.658, 95% CI: 0.508-0.807, P = 0.048) in group HP. DFS analyses were done on 141 patients. Although ER and PR status did not show significant difference in group HP (P = 0.789 and 0.088, respectively), HP-based therapy contributed to better DFS in the ER - and PR - cohorts (P = 0.035 and 0.015, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Compared with ER status, PR status might be a more valuable factor predicting the efficacy of adding pertuzumab into neoadjuvant therapy for HER2 + /N + BC. PR + patients benefit little from the addition of pertuzumab.

Abstract
Multicomponent metallic nanomaterials with unconventional phases show great prospects in electrochemical energy storage and conversion, owing to unique crystal structures and abundant structural effects. In this review, we emphasize the progress in the strain and surface engineering of these novel nanomaterials. We start with a brief introduction of the structural configurations of these materials, based on the interaction types between the components. Next, the fundamentals of strain, strain effect in relevant metallic nanomaterials with unconventional phases, and their formation mechanisms are discussed. Then the progress in surface engineering of these multicomponent metallic nanomaterials is demonstrated from the aspects of morphology control, crystallinity control, surface modification, and surface reconstruction. Moreover, the applications of the strain- and surface-engineered unconventional nanomaterials mainly in electrocatalysis are also introduced, where in addition to the catalytic performance, the structure-performance correlations are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this promising field are prospected.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the independent risk factors for bone metastasis in breast cancer and to establish a nomogram to predict the risk of bone metastasis in early stages through clinicopathological characteristics and hematological parameters. Methods We selected 1042 patients with breast cancer from the database of Shandong Cancer Hospital for retrospective analysis, and determined independent risk factors for bone metastatic breast cancer (BMBC). A BMBC nomogram based on clinicopathological characteristics and hematological parameters was constructed using logistic regression analysis. The performance of the nomograph was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration curves. The clinical effect of risk stratification was tested using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results BMBC patients were found to be at risk for eight independent risk factors based on multivariate analysis: age at diagnosis, lymphovascular invasion, pathological stage, pathological node stage, molecular subtype, platelet count/lymphocyte count, platelet count * neutrophil count/lymphocyte count ratio, Systemic Immunological Inflammation Index, and radiotherapy. The prediction accuracy of the BMBC nomogram was good. In the training set, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.909, and in the validation set, it was 0.926, which proved that our model had good calibration. The risk stratification system can analyze the risk of relapse in individuals into high- and low-risk groups. Conclusion The proposed nomogram may predict the possibility of breast cancer bone metastasis, which will help clinicians optimize metastatic breast cancer treatment strategies and monitoring plans to provide patients with better treatment.

Abstract
Some triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients evaluated as Miller-Payne 4 with ypN0 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) who have better prognoses should avoid escalation of therapy. We aim to identify these patients by evaluating pretherapeutic spatial distributions of immunophenotypes. Our retrospective study in patients with TNBC assessed as Miller-Payne grade 4/5 with ypN0 showed that Miller-Payne 4 with ypN0 group had poorer 5-year disease-free survival (DFS, 63.8% vs. 83.0%, p = 0.003) and the 5-year overall survival (OS, 71.0% vs. 85.5%, p = 0.007) than Miller-Payne 5 with ypN0 group. High TILs were significantly associated with better DFS and OS in patients with Miller-Payne 4 and ypN0 (both p = 0.016). Spatially, detected by multiplexed ion beam imaging by the time of flight combined with proteomics, tumors assessed as Miller-Payne 4 and ypN0 with good prognosis exhibited an inflamed phenotype, with dominant CD8+ T cells on tumor center, few scattered CD68+ myeloid-derived cells far away from T cells, and deposit of increased activated molecules of lymphocyte. While those with poor prognoses presented excluded phenotypes, with few CD8+ T cells restricted to invasive margins and a high density of CD14+CD68+CD11c+ myeloid cells. A good classifier model based on 29 spatial immunophenotypes was established by the random forest algorithm (AUC = 0.975), for identifying patients with Miller-Payne 4 and ypN0 who had favorable prognoses. We also observed similar signatures in patients with Miller-Payne 5 and ypN0. Taken together, spatial immunophenotypes may assess the prognosis in TNBC patients with Miller-Payne 4 and ypN0 after NACT.

Abstract
Background Inetetamab (cipterbin) is an innovative anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal antibody. The efficacy and safety of a combination of inetetamab and vinorelbine in the first-line treatment of human epidermal receptor positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have been confirmed. We aimed to investigate real-world data of inetetamab in complex clinical practice. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who received inetetamab as a salvage treatment at any line setting from July 2020 to June 2022. The main endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results A total of 64 patients were included in this analysis. The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 5.6 (4.6-6.6) months. Of the patients, 62.5% received two or more lines of therapy before treatment with inetetamab. The most common chemotherapy and anti-HER2 regimens combined with inetetamab were vinorelbine (60.9%) and pyrotinib (62.5%), respectively. Patients treated with inetetamab plus pyrotinib plus vinorelbine benefited the most (p=0.048), with the mPFS of 9.3 (3.1-15.5) months and an objective response rate of 35.5%. For patients with pyrotinib pretreatment, inetetamab plus vinorelbine plus pyrotinib agents resulted in mPFS of 10.3 (5.2-15.4) months. Regimens (inetetamab plus vinorelbine plus pyrotinib vs. other therapeutic agents) and visceral metastases (yes vs. no) were independent predictors of PFS. Patients with visceral metastases treated with inetetamab plus vinorelbine plus pyrotinib had a mPFS of 6.1(5.1-7.1) months. The toxicity of inetetamab was tolerable, with the most common grade 3/4 adverse event being leukopenia (4.7%). Conclusions HER2+ MBC patients pretreated with multiple-line therapies still respond to inetetamab-based treatment. Inetetamab combined with vinorelbine and pyrotinib may be the most effective treatment regimen, with a controllable and tolerable safety profile.

Abstract
Microglia-mediated inflammation is a major contributor to the brain damage in cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury, and N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) has been implicated in cerebral I/R injury. Here, we explored whether m6A modification is associated with microglia-mediated inflammation in cerebral I/R injury and its underlying regulatory mechanism using an in vivo mice model of intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) and in vitro models of primary isolated microglia and BV2 microglial cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) were used. We found microglial m6A modification increased and microglial fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) expression decreased in cerebral I/R injury in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of m6A modification by intraperitoneal injection of Cycloleucine (Cyc) in vivo or transfection of FTO plasmid in vitro significantly alleviated brain injury and microglia-mediated inflammatory response. Through Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-Seq), RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and western blotting, we found that m6A modification promoted cerebral I/R-induced microglial inflammation via increasing cGAS mRNA stability to aggravate Sting/NF-κB signaling. In conclusion, this study deepens our understanding on the relationship of m6A modification and microglia-mediated inflammation in cerebral I/R injury, and insights a novel m6A-based therapeutic for inhibiting inflammatory response against ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Introduction To understand the prevalence of avian methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and the current status of drug resistance in Qingdao, a comprehensive molecular epidemiological investigation and analysis of evolutionary relationships of MRSA isolates from broiler and layer chickens and waterfowl was conducted. Material and Methods One hundred and two avian MRSA strains were identified by multi-locus sequence typing, staphylococcal protein A (spa) and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing, and whole-genome sequencing. Results The sequence type (ST) 9-t899-SCCmec IVb type represented the highest proportion of avian-derived MRSA strains (71.57%), with ST398 type strains occasionally observed in broilers and waterfowl. The poultry-derived MRSA strains were all resistant to eight or more antimicrobials. Avian-derived MRSA strains carried 20 resistance genes, 109 virulence genes and 10 plasmids. Strains carrying the cfr oxazolidinone resistance gene were occasionally seen in broiler- and layer-derived MRSA. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) core genome evolution and locus difference analysis showed that the closest strains were all of ST9-t899 type (to which also affiliated the highest number of strains) and this type occurred on all three kinds of poultry farm, but the SNP difference loci between strains of the same type ranged from 0 to 1472. Conclusion The dominant type of MRSA from different poultry sources in Qingdao is ST9-t899-SCCmec IVb, which is commonly resistant to a variety of antimicrobial drugs and carries a variety of resistance genes and a large number of virulence genes. Sequence type 9-t899 type is widely spread among the three kinds of poultry investigated, but there are differences in affiliations.

Abstract
Nebulized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been considered as potential therapies for genetic disease as well as infectious disease. However, the sensitivity of LNPs to high shear stress during the nebulization process results in loss of the integrity of the nanostructure and the capability of delivering active pharmaceutical ingredients. Herein we have provided a fast extrusion method to prepare liposomes incorporated with a DNA hydrogel (hydrogel-LNPs) to improve the stability of the LNPs. Taking advantage of the good cellular uptake efficiency, we also demonstrated the potential of hydrogel-LNPs in delivering small molecular doxorubicin (Dox) and nucleic acid drugs. This work provides not only highly biocompatible hydrogel-LNPs for aerosol delivery, but also a strategy to regulate the elasticity of LNPs, which will benefit the potential optimization of drug delivery carriers.

Abstract
We demonstrate a methodology for computationally investigating the mechanical response of a pure molten lead surface system to the lateral mechanical cyclic loads and try to answer the following question: how does the dynamically driven liquid surface system follow the classical physics of the elastic-driven oscillation? The steady-state oscillation of the dynamic surface tension (or excess stress) under cyclic load, including the excitation of high-frequency vibration mode at different driving frequencies and amplitudes, was compared with the classical theory of a single-body driven damped oscillator. Under the highest studied frequency (50 GHz) and amplitude (5%) of the load, the increase of in (mean value) dynamic surface tension could reach ∼5%. The peak and trough values of the instantaneous dynamic surface tension could reach (up to) 40% increase and (up to) 20% decrease compared to the equilibrium surface tension, respectively. The extracted generalized natural frequencies seem to be intimately related to the intrinsic timescales of the atomic temporal-spatial correlation functions of the liquids both in the bulk region and in the outermost surface layers. These insights uncovered could be helpful for quantitative manipulation of the liquid surface using ultrafast shockwaves or laser pulses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reprogrammed metabolic network is a key hallmark of cancer. Profiling cancer metabolic alterations with spatial signatures not only provides clues for understanding cancer biochemical heterogeneity, but also helps to decipher the possible roles of metabolic reprogramming in cancer development. METHODS Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) technique was used to characterize the expressions of fatty acids in breast cancer tissues. Specific immunofluorescence staining was further carried out to investigate the expressions of fatty acid synthesis-related enzymes. RESULTS The distributions of 23 fatty acids in breast cancer tissues have been mapped, and the levels of most fatty acids in cancer tissues are significantly higher than those in adjacent normal tissues. Two metabolic enzymes, fatty acid synthase (FASN) and acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), which being involved in the de novo synthesis of fatty acid were found to be up-regulated in breast cancer. Targeting the up-regulation of FASN and ACC is an effective approach to limiting the growth, proliferation, and metastasis of breast cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS These spatially resolved findings enhance our understanding of cancer metabolic reprogramming and give an insight into the exploration of metabolic vulnerabilities for better cancer treatment.

Abstract
This study is aimed to develop and validate a novel nomogram model that can preoperatively predict axillary lymph node pathological complete response (pCR) after NAT and avoid unnecessary axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for breast cancer patients. A total of 410 patients who underwent NAT and were pathologically confirmed to be axillary lymph node positive after breast cancer surgery were included. They were divided into two groups: patients with axillary lymph node pCR and patients with residual node lesions after NAT. Then the nomogram prediction model was constructed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that molecular subtypes, molybdenum target (MG) breast, computerized tomography (CT) breast, ultrasound (US) axilla, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) axilla, and CT axilla (all p < 0.001) had a significant impact on the evaluation of axillary lymph node status after NAT. The nomogram score appeared that AUC was 0.832 (95% CI 0.786-0.878) in the training cohort and 0.947 (95% CI 0.906-0.988) in the validation cohort, respectively. The decision curve represented that the nomogram has a positive predictive ability, indicating its potential as a practical clinical tool.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives Some Miller-Payne 4 and N0 patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) who had better survival should avoid treatment escalation. We aimed to identify these patients based on spatial distributions of immunophenotypes at initial diagnosis.
Methods We retrospectively analyzed 272 TNBC patients with Miller-Payne grade 4/5 and N0 for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in relation to clinical survival. The spatial immunophenotypes were analyzed by multiplexed ion beam imaging by time of flight combined with proteomic. A prognostic classifier was established by the random forest algorithm.
Results The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 63.8% for Miller-Payne 4 and 83.0% for Miller-Payne 5 (p=0.003), and overall survival (OS) was 71.0% and 85.5% respectively (p=0.007). High TILs were significantly associated with better DFS and OS in the Miller-Payne 4 patients (both p=0.016). Spatially, Miller-Payne 4 with good prognosis exhibited inflamed phenotype, with dominant CD8+ T cells on tumor center, few scattered CD68+ myeloid-derived cells far away from T cells, and deposit of increased lymphocyte activate molecules. Miller-Payne 4 with poor prognosis presented excluded phenotype, with few CD8+ T cells restricted to invasive margin, high density of CD14+CD68+CD11c+ myeloid cells with related molecules. These spatial immunophenotypes provided a good classifier model (AUC=0.975) to identify Miller-Payne 4 patients with different prognosis. We also observed similar signatures in Miller-Payne 5.
Conclusion Spatial immunophenotypes may indicate the prognosis in TNBC assessed as Miller-Payne 4 and N0.

Abstract
Abstract
The SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex plays essential roles in a variety of cellular processes including differentiation, proliferation and DNA repair. Mammalian SWI/SNF complexes always contain one of two mutually exclusive and structurally highly related ATPases: SMARCA2/BRM or SMARCA4/BRG1, as its catalytic subunit, which hydrolyze ATP to drive nucleosome movement. It is reported that absence of SMARCA4 are present in several cancers and these SMARCA4 deficient cells highly depend on its paralog SMARCA2 for survival. Furthermore, concurrent inhibition of SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 is fatal to normal cells. Therefore, it holds great therapeutic promise to treat SMARCA4 deficient cancers with selective SMARCA2 degraders while leaving SMARCA4 wild type cells unaffected. Here, we report that SCR-9140 is a high selective SMARCA2 degrader which demonstrates superior anti-tumor activity and low cytotoxicity against non-malignant cells. SCR-9140 strongly degrades SMARCA2 with DC50 of <1 nM and achieves the complete protein degradation (Dmax of >95%) and also shows 100-fold degradation selectivity over SMARCA4 with DC50 of around 100 nM and Dmax of <60% in HiBiT knock-in SW1573 cells. Across a panel of SMARCA4 deficient tumor cell lines, SCR-9140 potently inhibits proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 1 to 50 nM. Due to the high selectivity over SMARCA4, SCR-9140 neither inhibits proliferation of SW1573 (SMARCA2-WT SMARCA4-WT) cells nor NCI-H1581 (SMARCA2-DEL SMARCA4-DEL) cells with IC50s of over 2000 nM. The degraders with poor selectivity of SMARCA2/4 (DC50 ratio: < 10 folds, Dmax of SMARCA4 > 80%) strongly inhibit the SW1573 cells proliferation with IC50s < 100nM, while there are no significant effects on the NCI-H1581 cells ascribing to the absence of targets. Furthermore, SCR-9140 demonstrates weak cytotoxicity on non-malignant cells, such as WI-38 (human lung fibroblast cells), THLE-2 (human liver cells), and human PBMC, rendering it the greater therapeutic window. In a CDX model of NSCLC, SCR-9140 effectively inhibits tumor growth and TGI correlates well with SMARCA2 degradation in tumors. In conclusion, our potent and selective SMARCA2 degrader, SCR-9140 induces strong synthetic lethality in SMARCA4 deficient cells in vitro and in vivo and shows great safety margin in normal cells.

Abstract
The development of high-performance catalysts with high activity, selectivity, and stability are essential for the practical applications of H2 O2 electrosynthesis technology, but it is still formidably challenging. It is reported that the low-coordinated structure of Pd sites in amorphous PdSe2 nanoparticles (a-PdSe2 NPs) can significantly boost the electrocatalytic synthesis of H2 O2 . Detailed investigations and theoretical calculations reveal that the disordered arrangement of Pd atoms in a-PdSe2 NPs can promote the activity, while the Pd sites with low-coordinated environment can optimize the adsorption toward oxygenated intermediate and suppress the cleavage of O-O bond, leading to a significant enhancement in both the H2 O2 selectivity and productivity. Impressively, a-PdSe2 NPs/C exhibits high H2 O2 selectivity over 90% in different pH electrolytes. H2 O2 productivities with ≈3245.7, 1725.5, and 2242.1 mmol gPd -1 h-1 in 0.1 m KOH, 0.1 m HClO4 , and 0.1 m Na2 SO4 can be achieved, respectively, in an H-cell electrolyzer, being a pH-universal catalyst for H2 O2 electrochemical synthesis. Furthermore, the produced H2 O2 can reach 1081.8 ppm in a three-phase flow cell reactor after 2 h enrichment in 0.1 m Na2 SO4 , showing the great potential of a-PdSe2 NPs/C for practical H2 O2 electrosynthesis.

Abstract
Breast cancer has become the most prevalent cancer, globally. Adriamycin is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent, however, cancer cells acquire resistance to it, which is one of the most common causes of treatment failure. ROS and NRF2 are essential oxidative stress factors that play a key role in the oxidative stress process and are associated with cancer. Our goal is to create novel therapeutic drugs or chemical sensitizers that will improve chemotherapy sensitivity. The optimal concentration and duration for MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells in ADR and CYT were determined using the CCK-8 assay. We found that ADR + CYT inhibited the activity of MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells in breast cancer, as well as causing apoptosis in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells and blocking the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase. ADR + CYT induces apoptosis in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells through ROS generation and the P62/NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In breast cancer-bearing nude mice, ADR + CYT effectively suppressed tumor development in vivo. Overall, our findings showed that CYT in combination with ADR has potent anti-breast cancer cell activity both in vivo and in vitro, suggesting CYT as the main drug used to improve chemosensitivity.

Abstract
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer with low 5-year survival rate. Cellular senescence, characterized by permanent and irreversible cell proliferation arrest, plays an important role in tumorigenesis and development. This study aims to develop a cellular senescence-based stratified model, and a multivariable-based nomogram for guiding clinical therapy for HCC. Materials and methods: The mRNAs expression data of HCC patients and cellular senescence-related genes were obtained from TCGA and CellAge database, respectively. Through multiple analysis, a four cellular senescence-related genes-based prognostic stratified model was constructed and its predictive performance was validated through various methods. Then, a nomogram based on the model was constructed and HCC patients stratified by the model were analyzed for tumor mutation burden, tumor microenvironment, immune infiltration, drug sensitivity and immune checkpoint. Functional enrichment analysis was performed to explore potential biological pathways. Finally, we verified this model by siRNA transfection, scratch assay and Transwell Assay. Results: We established an cellular senescence-related genes-based stratified model, and a multivariable-based nomogram, which could accurately predict the prognosis of HCC patients in the ICGC database. The low and high risk score HCC patients stratified by the model showed different tumor mutation burden, tumor microenvironment, immune infiltration, drug sensitivity and immune checkpoint expressions. Functional enrichment analysis suggested several biological pathways related to the process and prognosis of HCC. Scratch assay and transwell assay indicated the promotion effects of the four cellular senescence-related genes (EZH2, G6PD, CBX8, and NDRG1) on the migraiton and invasion of HCC. Conclusion: We established a cellular senescence-based stratified model, and a multivariable-based nomogram, which could predict the survival of HCC patients and guide clinical treatment.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant cancer. The prognosis of patients differs according to the location of distant metastasis, with pleura being a common metastatic site in BC. Nonetheless, clinical data of patients with pleural metastasis (PM) as the only distant metastatic site at initial diagnosis of metastatic BC (MBC) are limited. Patient cohort and methods The medical records of patients who were hospitalized in Shandong Cancer Hospital between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2021 were reviewed, and patients eligible for the study were selected. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier (KM) method. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards models were used to identify prognostic factors. Finally, based on these selected factors, a nomogram was constructed and validated. Results In total, 182 patients were included; 58 (group A), 81 (group B), and 43 (group C) patients presented with only PM, only lung metastasis (LM), and PM combined with LM, respectively. The KM curves revealed no significant difference in overall survival (OS) among the three groups. However, in terms of survival after distant metastasis (M-OS), the difference was significant: patients with only PM exhibited the best prognosis, whereas those with PM combined with LM exhibited the worst prognosis (median M-OS: 65.9, 40.5, and 32.4 months, respectively; P = 0.0067). For patients with LM in groups A and C, those with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) exhibited significantly worse M-OS than those without MPE. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that primary cancer site, T stage, N stage, location of PM, and MPE were independent prognostic factors for patients with PM without other distant metastasis. A nomogram prediction model incorporating these variables was created. According to the C-index (0.776), the AUC values of the 3-, 5-, and 8-year M-OS (0.86, 0.86, and 0.90, respectively), and calibration curves, the predicted and actual M-OS were in good agreement. Conclusion BC patients with PM only at the first diagnosis of MBC exhibited a better prognosis than those with LM only or PM combined with LM. We identified five independent prognostic factors associated with M-OS in this subset of patients, and a nomogram model with good predictive efficacy was established.

Abstract
As an efficient photocatalyst, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been widely used in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen production. However, how to prepare hydrogen efficiently and stably has become a challenge. Herein, we successfully realize metal-free edge modification with phenyl groups by one-step thermal polymerization of urea with 4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide. Consequently, the optimal photocatalytic hydrogen production rate for the modified graphitic carbon nitride is increased by three times to a value of 2390.6 μmol h-1 g-1, while the apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) reaches 8.3 % at a wavelength of 420 nm. We also provide a theoretical explanation for the experiments using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which suggest that energy level changes and electron redistribution for the modified carbon nitride materials contribute to the observed changes in catalytic performance. This work provides an effective solution for improving the photocatalytic activity of carbon nitride materials and provides theoretical support for the edge modification of carbon nitride materials to promote their photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency.

Abstract
This work studies the first-order coherence of noisy multi-agent networks with multi-layered structures. The coherence, which is a sort of performance index of networks, can be seen as a sort of measurement for a system's robustness. Graph operations are applied to design the novel multi-layered networks, and a graph spectrum approach, along with analysis methods, is applied to derive the mathematical expression of the coherence, and the corresponding asymptotic results on the performance index have been obtained. In addition, the coherence of these non-isomorphic multi-layered networks with three different graph parameters are compared and analyzed. We find that, when the cardinalities of the vertex sets of corresponding counterpart layers are the same, the multi-layered topology class with a balanced, complete, multi-partite structure has the best robustness of all the considered networks, if the sufficient conditions for the node-related parameters hold. Finally, simulations are given to verify the asymptotic results.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in treating patients with breast cancer with hepatic metastasis. Method PubMed and The Cochrane Library were queried from establishment to January 2021. The following keywords were implemented: "breast", "yttrium", and "radioembolization". The following variables and outcomes were collected: publication year, region, sample size, study design, presence of extrahepatic disease, tumor burden, infused radioactivity, breast cancer subtype, previous treatment, median survival time (MST), length of follow-up, adverse events, and radiographical response such as Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), modified RECIST (mRECIST), and Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST). Results A total of 24 studies from 14 institutions were included in the present meta-analysis. On the basis of the data from 412 patients, post-embolization MST was 9.8 [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.0-11.6] months. Patients with additional extrahepatic metastasis had a poorer survival rate compared with those with localized hepatic metastasis only (MST: 5.3 vs. 15 months, p < 0.0001). Patients with <25% liver tumor burden exhibited more promising survival than those with >25% (MST: 10.5 vs. 6.8 months, p < 0.0139). On the basis of RECIST, mRECIST, and PERCIST criteria, tumor response rate was 36% (95% CI: 26%-47%), 49% (95% CI: 34%-65%), and 47% (95% CI: 17%-78%), respectively, whereas tumor control rate was 85% (95% CI: 76%-93%), 73% (95% CI: 59%-85%), and 97% (95% CI: 91%-100%), respectively. Conclusion On the basis of the available published evidence, SIRT is feasible and effective in treating patients with breast cancer with liver metastasis. Patients with lower hepatic tumor burden and without extrahepatic metastasis demonstrated more survival benefit. Future randomized controlled trials are warranted.
