Abstract
Previous research has suggested that certain types of the affective temperament, including depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable, and anxious, are subclinical manifestations and precursors of mental disorders. However, the neural mechanisms that underlie these temperaments are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to identify the brain regions associated with different affective temperaments. We collected the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from 211 healthy adults and evaluated their affective temperaments using the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire. We used intersubject representational similarity analysis to identify brain regions associated with each affective temperament. Brain regions associated with each affective temperament were detected. These regions included the prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), precuneus, amygdala, thalami, hippocampus, and visual areas. The ACC, lingual gyri, and precuneus showed similar activity across several affective temperaments. The similarity in related brain regions was high among the cyclothymic, irritable, and anxious temperaments, and low between hyperthymic and the other affective temperaments. These findings may advance our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying affective temperaments and their potential relationship to mental disorders and may have potential implications for personalized treatment strategies for mood disorders.

Abstract
Composite polymer materials featured superior thermal conductivity, flame retardancy, and electromagnetic shielding performance are increasingly in demand due to the rapid development of highly miniaturized, portable, and flexible electronic devices. Herein, a facile and green ball milling shear method is utilized for generating MXene@Boron nitride (MXene@BN). The multi-functional fillers (MXene@BN) are constructed and incorporated into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to prepare a multifunctional composite (PDMS/MXene@BN) for achieving improved electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance and thermal conductivity as well as flame retardancy simultaneously. When the PDMS/MXene@BN composite has a MXene@BN loading of 2.4 wt.%, it exhibits a high thermal conductivity of 0.59 W m-1K-1, which is 210% higher than that of the pure PDMS matrix. This is attributed to its unique chestnut-like double-layer structure. With a smoke production rate (SPR) of 0.04 m2 s-1 and total smoke production (TSP) of 3.51 m2, PDMS/MXene@BN 2.4 composite exhibits superb smoke suppression properties. These SPR and TSP values are 63.20% and 63.50% lower than the corresponding values of pure PDMS. Moreover, the EMI SE of the PDMS/MXene@BN 2.4 can reach 26.3 dB at 8.5 GHz. The work reported herein provides valuable insight into developing composites with multiple functions, which show strong potential for application in advanced packaging materials.

Abstract
Regular quiescence and activation are important for the function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC), multipotent stem cells that are widely used in the clinic due to their capabilities in tissue repair and inflammatory disease treatment. TNF-α is previously reported to regulate BMMSC functions, including multilineage differentiation and immunoregulation. The present study demonstrates that TNF-α impedes quiescence and promotes the activation of BMMSC in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the TNF-α-induced expression of KAT2A promotes the succinylation of VCP at K658, which inhibits the interaction between VCP and MFN1 and thus inhibits mitophagy. Furthermore, activated BMMSC exhibits stronger fracture repair and immunoregulation functions in vivo. This study contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms of BMMSC quiescence and activation and to improving the effectiveness of BMMSC in clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An association between variability of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular events has been reported. We examined whether intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) for weight loss decreased variability of cardiovascular risk factors with a view to additional cardiometabolic benefits. METHODS AND RESULTS This study was a post hoc secondary analysis of the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) study. Cardiovascular risk factors were measured at 1-year intervals for 4 years in 4249 adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes who were randomly assigned to ILI or diabetes support and education. Long-term variability was defined as the SD of cardiovascular risk factors during 4-year follow-up. At multiple linear regression analysis, compared with the diabetes support and education group, the ILI group was associated with reduced variability of fasting blood glucose (β=-1.49 [95% CI, -2.39 to -0.59]), total cholesterol (β=-1.12 [95% CI, -1.75 to -0.48]), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (β=-1.04 [95% CI, -1.59 to -0.49]), as well as increased variability of systolic blood pressure (β=0.27 [95% CI, 0.00-0.54]). No significant effect of ILI was found on the variability of diastolic blood pressure (β=-0.08 [95% CI, -0.22 to 0.05]). CONCLUSIONS Among adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes, ILI may reduce long-term variability of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Our results support that ILI should be recommended to individuals with diabetes as part of management of long-term glycemic and blood lipid control.

Abstract
Human microproteins encoded by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have been increasingly discovered, however, complete functional characterization of these emerging proteins is scattered. Here, we show that LINC00493-encoded SMIM26, an understudied microprotein localized in mitochondria, is tendentiously downregulated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and correlated with poor overall survival. LINC00493 is recognized by RNA-binding protein PABPC4 and transferred to ribosomes for translation of a 95-amino-acid protein SMIM26. SMIM26, but not LINC00493, suppresses ccRCC growth and metastatic lung colonization by interacting with acylglycerol kinase (AGK) and glutathione transport regulator SLC25A11 via its N-terminus. This interaction increases the mitochondrial localization of AGK and subsequently inhibits AGK-mediated AKT phosphorylation. Moreover, the formation of the SMIM26-AGK-SCL25A11 complex maintains mitochondrial glutathione import and respiratory efficiency, which is abrogated by AGK overexpression or SLC25A11 knockdown. This study functionally characterizes the LINC00493-encoded microprotein SMIM26 and establishes its anti-metastatic role in ccRCC, and therefore illuminates the importance of hidden proteins in human cancers.

Abstract
Low persistence, metabolic dysfunction in microenvironment, and tumor-derived immunosuppression of Natural killer (NK) cells in patients are greatly limited the successful clinical application of NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy. Interestingly, herein that human serum albumin-encapsulated black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs@HSA) can effectively augment antitumor efficacy of clinical patients-derived NK cell immunotherapy is found. As the donor of phosphate group, BPQDs@HSA binds with the protein of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type-1 gamma (PIP5K1A) and activates the downstream PI3K-Akt and mTOR signaling pathways to reprogram cell metabolism of glycolysis and further promote the oxidative phosphorylation, sequentially maintains the cell viability and immunity of NK cells. And multiomics analysis is therefore conducted to reveal the underlying immunoregulation mechanisms, and that BPQDs@HSA can interact with the Toll-like receptor (TLR) on the NK cell surface and increase the expression level of mTOR, and thus activate downstream NF-κB signalling pathways to regulate cytokine secretion and enhance immune tumoricidal is found. BPQDs@HSA can also enhance immune surveillance, relieve immune suppression, and inhibit tumor immune escape. Collectively, this study not only demonstrates a successful strategy for nanomedicine-potentiated immune-cancer therapy, but also sheds light on the understanding of interface between nanomedicine and immune cells activation.

Abstract
The oral and upper respiratory tracts are closely linked anatomically and physiologically with the lower respiratory tract and lungs, and the influence of oral and upper respiratory microbes on the lung microbiota is increasingly being recognized. However, the ecological process and individual heterogeneity of the oral and upper respiratory tract microbes shaping the lung microbiota remain unclear owing to the lack of controlled analyses with sufficient sample sizes. Here, the microbiomes of saliva, nasal cavity, oropharyngeal area, and bronchoalveolar lavage samples are profiled and the shaping process of multisource microbes on the lung microbiota is measured. It is found that oral and nasal microbial inputs jointly shape the lung microbiota by occupying different ecological niches. It is also observed that the spread of oral microbes to the lungs is heterogeneous, with more oral microbes entering the lungs being associated with decreased lung function and increased lung proinflammatory cytokines. These results depict the external shaping process of lung microbiota and indicate the great value of oral samples, such as saliva, in monitoring and assessing lung microbiota status in clinical settings.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) dendrite formation and poor Li+ transport kinetics under high-charging current densities and capacities inhibit the capabilities of Li metal batteries (LMBs). This study proposes a 3D conductive multichannel carbon framework (MCF) with homogeneously distributed vertical graphene nanowalls (VGWs@MCF) as a multifunctional host to efficiently regulate Li deposition and accelerate Li+ transport. A novel electrode for both Li|VGWs@MCF anode and LFP|VGWs@MCF (NCM811 |VGWs@MCF) cathode is designed and fabricated using a dual vertically aligned architecture. This unique hierarchical structure provides ultrafast, continuous, and smooth electron transport channels; furthermore, it furnishes outstanding mechanical strength to support massive Li deposition at ultrahigh rates. As a result, the Li|VGWs@MCF anode exhibits outstanding cycling stability at ultrahigh currents and capacities (1000 h at 10 mA cm-2 and 10 mAh cm-2 , and 1000 h at 30 mA cm-2 and 60 mAh cm-2 ). Moreover, full cells made of such 3D anodes and freestanding LFP|VGWs@MCF (NCM811 |VGWs@MCF) cathodes with conspicuous mass loading (45 mg cm-2 for LFP and 35 mg cm-2 for NCM811 ) demonstrate excellent areal capacities (6.98 mAh cm-2 for LFP and 5.6 mAh cm-2 for NCM811 ). This strategy proposes a promising direction for the development of high-energy-density practical Li batteries that combine safety, performance, and sustainability.

Abstract
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a hazardous substance that threaten the health of aquatic animals. Intestinal microbes and their metabolites can interact with hosts to influence physiological homeostasis. In this study, the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were exposed to 1.0 μg/l MC-LR for 72 h, and the toxic effects of MC-LR on the intestinal microbial metagenomic and metabolomic responses of the shrimp were investigated. The results showed that MC-LR stress altered the gene functions of intestinal microbial, including ABC transporter, sulfur metabolism and riboflavin (VB2) metabolism, and induced a significant increase of eight carbohydrate metabolism enzymes. Alternatively, intestinal metabolic phenotypes were also altered, especially ABC transporters, protein digestion and absorption, and the biosynthesis and metabolism of amino acid. Furthermore, based on the integration of intestinal microbial metagenomic and metabolome, four bacteria species (Demequina globuliformis, Demequina sp. NBRC 110055, Sphingomonas taxi and Sphingomonas sp. RIT328) and three metabolites (yangonin, α-hederin and soyasaponin ii) biomarkers were identified. Overall, our study provides new insights into the effects of MC-LR on the intestinal microbial functions of L. vannamei.

Abstract
Physical exercise is effective in alleviating mental disorders by improving synaptic transmission; however, the link between body endurance training and neural adaptation has not yet been completely resolved. In this study, the authors investigated the role of RNA N6 -methyladenosine (m6A), an emerging epigenetic mechanism, in improved resilience against chronic restraint stress. A combination of molecular, behavioral, and in vivo recording data demonstrates exercise-mediated restoration of m6A in the mouse medial prefrontal cortex, whose activity is potentiated to exert anxiolytic effects. Furthermore, it is revealed that hepatic biosynthesis of one methyl donor is necessary for exercise to improve brain RNA m6A to counteract environmental stress. This novel liver-brain axis provides an explanation for brain network changes upon exercise training and provides new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders.

Abstract
Infectious virus outbreaks pose a significant challenge to public healthcare systems. Early and accurate virus diagnosis is critical to prevent the spread of the virus, especially when no specific vaccine or effective medicine is available. In clinics, the most commonly used viral detection methods are molecular techniques that involve the measurement of nucleic acids or proteins biomarkers. However, most clinic-based methods require complex infrastructure and expensive equipment, which are not suitable for low-resource settings. Over the past years, smartphone-based point-of-care testing (POCT) has rapidly emerged as a potential alternative to laboratory-based clinical diagnosis. This review summarizes the latest development of virus detection. First, laboratory-based and POCT-based viral diagnostic techniques are compared, both of which rely on immunosensing and nucleic acid detection. Then, various smartphone-based POCT diagnostic techniques, including optical biosensors, electrochemical biosensors, and other types of biosensors are discussed. Moreover, this review covers the development of smartphone-based POCT diagnostics for various viruses including COVID-19, Ebola, influenza, Zika, HIV, et al. Finally, the prospects and challenges of smartphone-based POCT diagnostics are discussed. It is believed that this review will aid researchers better understand the current challenges and prospects for achieving the ultimate goal of containing disease-causing viruses worldwide.

Abstract
As an illicit psychostimulant, repeated methamphetamine (MA) exposure results in addiction and causes severe neurotoxicity. Studies have revealed complex interactions among gut homeostasis, metabolism, and the central nervous system (CNS). To investigate the disturbance of gut homeostasis and metabolism in MA-induced neurotoxicity, 2 mg/kg MA or equal volume saline was intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected into C57BL/6 mice. Behavioral tests and western blotting were used to evaluate neurotoxicity. To determine alterations of colonic dysbiosis, 16s rRNA gene sequencing was performed to analyze the status of gut microbiota, while RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and Western Blot analysis were performed to detect colonic damage. Serum metabolome was profiled by LC–MS analysis. We found that MA induced locomotor sensitization, depression-, and anxiety-like behaviors in mice, along with dysfunction of the dopaminergic system and stimulation of autophagy as well as apoptosis in the striatum. Notably, MA significantly decreased microbial diversity and altered the component of microbiota. Moreover, findings from RNA-seq implied stimulation of the inflammation-related pathway after MA treatment. Western blotting confirmed that MA mediated colonic inflammation by activating the TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB pathway and impaired colonic barrier. In addition, serum metabolome was reshaped after MA treatment. Specifically, bacteroides-derived sphingolipids and serotonin were obviously altered, which were closely correlated with locomotor sensitization, depression-, and anxiety-like behaviors. These findings suggest that MA disrupts gut homeostasis by altering its microbiome and arousing inflammation, and reshapes serum metabolome, which provide new insights into understanding the interactions between gut homeostasis and MA-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Free-standing and foldable electrodes with high energy density and long lifespan have recently elicited attention on the development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for flexible electronic devices. However, both low energy density and slow kinetics in cycling impede their practical applications. In this work, a free-standing and binder-free N, O-codoped 3D vertical graphene carbon nanofibers electrode with ultra-high silicon content (VGAs@Si@CNFs) is developed via electrospinning, subsequent thermal treatment, and chemical vapor deposition processes. The as-prepared VGAs@Si@CNFs electrode exhibits excellent conductivity and flexibility because of the high graphitized carbon nanofiber network and abundant vertical graphene arrays. Such 3D all-carbon architecture can be fabulous for providing a conductive and mechanically robust network, further improving the kinetics and restraining the volume expansion of Si NPs, especially with an ultra-high Si content (>90 wt%). As a result, the VGAs@Si@CNFs composite demonstrates a superior specific capacity (3619.5 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 ), ultralong lifespan, and outstanding rate capability (1093.1 mAh g-1 after 1500 cycles at 8 A g-1 ) as a free-standing anode for LIBs. It is believed that this work offers an exciting method for developing free-standing and high-energy-density electrodes for other energy storage devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plenty of studies have indicated that some genetic polymorphisms of the breast cancer which associated with its susceptibility may also be related to the susceptibility of abortion. MIR2052HG plays an important role in the onset and progression of breast cancer by maintaining the level of ERα, but to the best of our knowledge, the correlation between risk of recurrent abortion and MIR2052HG rs3802201 C>G polymorphism is still unclear. Therefore, we conducted this case-control study to investigate whether MIR2052HG rs3802201 C>G polymorphism is associated with susceptibility of recurrent miscarriage (RM). METHODS We recruited 392 healthy controls and 248 patients with RM to process this research, the participants were all from southern China, and genotyping was performed by TaqMan method. RESULTS Our results showed that there was no evidence indicates the MIR2052HG rs3802201 C>G is related to RM (CG and CC: adjusted OR = 0.970, 95% CI = 0.694-1.355, p = 0.8577; GG and CC: adjusted OR = 0.743, 95% CI = 0.416-1.330, p = 0.3174; dominant model: adjusted OR = 0.925, 95% CI = 0.672-1.272, p = 0.6298; recessive model: adjusted OR = 0.751, 95% CI = 0.430-1.321, p = 0.3233). CONCLUSION We verified that the MIR2052HG rs3802201 C>G allele might be uncorrelated to the RM risk, but these findings require further validation in multicenter studies with larger sample size and different ethnicities.

Abstract
Dysregulation of the cell cycle machinery leads to genomic instability and is a hallmark of cancer associated with chemoresistance and poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Identifying and targeting aberrant cell cycle machinery is expected to improve current therapies for CRC patients. Here,upregulated polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) signaling, accompanied by deregulation of cell cycle-related pathways in CRC is identified. It is shown that aberrant PLK1 signaling correlates with recurrence and poor prognosis in CRC patients. Genetic and pharmacological blockade of PLK1 significantly increases the sensitivity to oxaliplatin in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, transcriptomic profiling analysis reveals that cell cycle-related pathways are activated by oxaliplatin treatment but suppressed by a PLK1 inhibitor. Cell division cycle 7 (CDC7) is further identified as a critical downstream effector of PLK1 signaling, which is transactivated via the PLK1-MYC axis. Increased CDC7 expression is also found to be positively correlated with aberrant PLK1 signaling in CRC and is associated with poor prognosis. Moreover, a CDC7 inhibitor synergistically enhances the anti-tumor effect of oxaliplatin in CRC models, demonstrating the potential utility of targeting the PLK1-MYC-CDC7 axis in the treatment of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.
