Abstract
AIMS Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a cardiovascular disease with high morbidity and mortality. We collected patients with AMI from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (v2.0) database and explored the association between serum albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) level and mortality in patients with AMI. METHODS AND RESULTS Data of adult patients with AMI were collected. According to the 360 day prognosis, patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups. Based on the ACAG level, patients were then divided into normal and high ACAG groups. Cox hazard proportional models and restricted cubic splines (RCSs) were used to investigate the correlation between ACAG and mortality. Kaplan-Meier curves were created to compare the cumulative survival rates between the high and normal ACAG groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyse the predictive value of ACAG for the prognosis of patients with AMI. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted to revalidate the results. Finally, 1783 patients were included. Elevated ACAG (>20 mmol/L) was significantly associated with 30 and 360 day mortality (P < 0.001). Adjusted for multiple confounding factors, the Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that elevated ACAG (>20 mmol/L) was an independent risk factor of increased all-cause mortality in patients with AMI (hazard ratio 1.423, 95% confidence interval 1.206-1.678, P < 0.001). RCS analysis further showed that there was a non-linear trend relationship between ACAG and the risk of all-cause mortality at 30 and 360 days (χ2 = 10.750, P = 0.013; χ2 = 13.960, P = 0.003). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the 30 and 360 day cumulative survival rates of patients with AMI were significantly lower (log-rank test, χ2 = 98.880, P < 0.001; χ2 = 105.440, P < 0.001) in the high ACAG group. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ACAG was 0.651, while the AUC of anion gap (AG) was 0.609, indicating that ACAG had a higher predictive value for 360 day mortality than AG. When combined with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, the predictive performance of ACAG for 360 day mortality was better, with an AUC of 0.699. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted suggesting the stability of our results. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum ACAG (≥20 mmol/L) is an independent risk factor for short-term and long-term mortality in critically ill patients with AMI, and it may assist clinicians and nurses identifying high-risk patients.

Abstract
Background The presence of macrovascular invasion (MVI) is associated with poor prognosis in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cinobufacini therapy via hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) in advanced HCC patients with MVI. Methods The clinical records of 130 consecutive patients with unresectable advanced HCC and MVI who had received Cinobufacini or cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (CF) treatment via HAI were retrospectively analyzed. The therapeutic efficacy, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and adverse events were compared between the two treatment groups. Results The Cinobufacini group demonstrated significant curative effects on treatment via HAI compared with the CF group, including the objective response rate (44.9% vs 27.9%, P=0.048), the median OS (14.8 months vs 11.1 months, P=0.010), and the median PFS (10.3 months vs 6.0 months, P=0.006). Result in subgroup analysis of portal vein invasion grade supported the efficacy in Cinobufacini treatment, especially in the median OS of Vp1-2 (18.3 months vs 14.3 months, P=0.043) and Vp3 (15.0 months vs 11.4 months, P=0.046), as well as the median PFS of Vp1-2 (14.8 months vs 10.2 months, P=0.028) and Vp3 (10.8 months vs 6.6 months, P=0.033) compared with CF treatment. Cox proportional hazards model and forest plot analysis of factors confirmed the survival benefit from HAI with Cinobufacini over CF (hazard ratio [HR], 0.61; 95% CI: 0.40-0.91; P=0.010). Multivariable analysis identified portal vein invasion grade (Vp4; HR, 1.78; 95% CI: 1.03-2.16; P=0.032) and AFP (>1000; HR, 1.61; 95% CI: 1.08-1.91; P=0.039) as the independent factors for prognosis. Moreover, the total incidence of adverse events in the Cinobufacini group was significantly lower than in the CF group (60.9% vs 82.0%, P=0.009). Conclusion Cinobufacini therapy via HAI is a viable strategy for curing advanced HCC with MVI, due to prolonged survival and a superior safety profile.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) represents a chemically significant oxidant that is prized for its diverse applicability across various industrial domains. Recent innovations have shed light on the electrosynthesis of H2O2 through two-electron oxygen reduction reactions (2e- ORR) or two-electron water oxidation reactions (2e- WOR), processes that underscore the attractive possibility for the on-site production of this indispensable oxidizing agent. However, the translation of these methods into practical utilization within chemical manufacturing industries remains an aspiration rather than a realized goal. This Perspective intends to furnish a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the domain of coupled chemical reactions with H2O2, critically examining emergent strategies that may pave the way for the development of new reaction pathways. These pathways could enable applications that hinge on the availability and reactivity of H2O2, including, but not limited to the chemical synthesis coupled with H2O2 and waste water treatment byFenton-like reactions. Concurrently, the Perspective acknowledges and elucidates some of the salient challenges and opportunities inherent in the coupling of electrochemically generated H2O2, thereby providing a scholarly analysis that might guide future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, with significant economic and cultural value. However, tea production faces many challenges due to various biotic and abiotic stresses, among which fungal diseases are particularly devastating. RESULTS To understand the identity and pathogenicity of isolates recovered from tea plants with symptoms of wilt, phylogenetic analyses and pathogenicity assays were conducted. Isolates were characterized to the species level by sequencing the ITS, tef-1α, tub2 and rpb2 sequences and morphology. Four Fusarium species were identified: Fusarium fujikuroi, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, and Fusarium concentricum. The pathogenicity of the Fusarium isolates was evaluated on 1-year-old tea plants, whereby F. fujikuroi OS3 and OS4 strains were found to be the most virulent on tea. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of tea rot caused by F. fujikuroi in the world. This provides the foundation for the identification and control of wilt disease in tea plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A single injection of local anaesthetic (LA) in the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can reduce pain after modified radical mastectomy (MRM) surgery, but the duration of analgesia is affected by the duration of the LA. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of continuous ESPB on acute and chronic pain and inflammatory response after MRM surgery. METHODS In this prospective, randomised, controlled trial, we will recruit 160 patients, aged 18-80 years, scheduled for elective MRM surgery under general anaesthesia. They will be randomly assigned to two groups: a continuous ESPB group (group E) and a sham block group (group C). Both groups of patients will have a nerve block (group C pretended to puncture) and an indwelling catheter fixed prior to surgery. Electronic pumps containing LA are shielded. The primary outcome is the total consumption of analgesic agents. The secondary outcomes include the levels of inflammation-related cytokines; the occurrence of chronic pain (post-mastectomy pain syndrome, PMPS); static and dynamic pain scores at 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively; and post-operative and post-puncture adverse reactions. DISCUSSION Analgesia after MRM surgery is important and chronic pain can develop when acute pain is prolonged, but the analgesic effect of a nerve block with a single injection of LA is limited by the duration of drug action. The aim of this trial is to investigate whether continuous ESPB can reduce acute pain after MRM surgery and reduce the incidence of chronic pain (PMPS), with fewer postoperative analgesic drug-related complications and less inflammatory response. Continuous ESPB and up to 12 months of follow-up are two innovations of this trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( https://www.chictr.org.cn/ ) ChiCTR2200061935. Registered on 11 July 2022. This trial is a prospective registry with the following registry names: Effect of ultrasound-guided continuous erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain and inflammatory response in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.

Abstract
To reduce the huge energy cost of CO2 capture technology applicable in industry, the CO2 absorption-desorption performance was conducted in a novel bench-scale pilot plant with hot water as a heat source. The trisolvent MEA(monoethanol amine)-BEA(butylethanol amine)-AMP(2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) was prepared at a specific concentration to analyze the CO2 capture performance and compared with 5 M MEA as the benchmark. Meanwhile, several solid acid catalysts, blended H-ZSM-5/γ-Al2O3(1/2), or HND-8, were packed in the desorber, and the solid base catalyst, CaCO3 or CaMg(CO3)2, was packed in the absorber with random packing. The CO2 absorption efficiency (AE), cyclic capacity (CC), and heat duty (HD) were tested onto MEA-BEA-AMP and MEA under various operating conditions. Experimental results indicated that the performance of 4.3 mol/L MEA-BEA-AMP was significantly better than 5 M MEA under both catalytic and noncatalytic operation. The most energy efficient combination of this study was discovered as 0.3 + 2 + 2 mol/L MEA-BEA-AMP, with 50 g (CaCO3/CaMg(CO3)2) in the absorber and 150 g H-ZSM-5/γ-Al2O3(1/2) in the desorber. The heat duty reached as low as 2.4 GJ/tCO2 at a FG of 7.0 L/min and a FL of 70 mL/min. These results were highly applicable in an industrial amine scrubbing pilot plant for CO2 capture.

Abstract
Campylobacter is a major foodborne pathogen that causes outbreaks and sporadic gastrointestinal disease, creating a serious disease burden. Campylobacter strains isolated from diarrhea cases (n = 11) and raw poultry meat products (n = 2) in Huzhou, including 11 Campylobacter jejuni and 2 Campylobacter coli strains, were subjected to virulence gene, drug resistance gene, genetic correlation, antibiotic resistance, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analyses. The 13 Campylobacter isolates were divided into 12 sequence types (STs), one of which was a new ST. The isolated strains contain multiple virulence-related genes. Drug sensitivity analysis showed that the resistance rate of the 13 isolates to nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, and tetracycline was 92.3%. Genome sequencing indicated that all 11 strains of C. jejuni carried the tet(O) and blaOXA resistance genes, and 2 strains of C. coli carried multiple drug resistance genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on core-genome single-nucleotide polymorphisms indicated that the 11 C. jejuni isolates from diarrhea patients and food sources are not closely phylogenetically related.

Abstract
BACKGROUND RP11-296E3.2 is a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis, that was reported in our previous clinical studies. However, the mechanisms of RP11-296E3.2 in colorectal tumorigenesis remain elusive. METHODS RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), Transwell assays and others, were performed to evaluate the function of RP11-296E3.2 for proliferation and metastasis in vitro. In situ and metastatic tumor models were performed to evaluate the function of RP11-296E3.2 for proliferation and metastasis in vivo. RNA-pulldown, RNA-interacting protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), tissue microarray (TMA) assay, a luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and others were performed to explore the mechanisms by which RP11-296E3.2 regulates CRC tumorigenesis. RESULTS RP11-296E3.2 was confirmed to be associated with CRC cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, RP11-296E3.2 directly bound to recombinant Y-Box Binding Protein 1 (YBX1) and enhanced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) transcription and phosphorylation. YBX1 promoted the CRC cell proliferation and migration, while knockdown of RP11-296E3.2 attenuated the effects of YBX1 on CRC cell proliferation, and metastasis and the expression of several related downstream genes. We are the first to discover and confirm the existence of the YBX1/STAT3 pathway, a pathway dependent on RP11-296E3.2. CONCLUSION Together, these novel findings show that the RP11-296E3.2/YBX1 pathway promotes colorectal tumorigenesis and progression by activating STAT3 transcription and phosphorylation, and suggest that RP11-296E3.2 is a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in CRC.

Abstract
Background Postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with low survival rates. While HCC treatment options have expanded substantially, they are accompanied by several challenges. This study assessed the outcomes of repeated hepatectomy (RH) for postoperative intrahepatic recurrence of HCC among patients undergoing initial hepatectomy (IH) as well as independent risk factors for HCC recurrence among patients undergoing repeated hepatectomy (RH). Methods Clinical data from 84 patients undergoing both IH and RH and 66 recurrent HCC patients who had received radiofrequency ablation (RFA) from July 2011 to September 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The following groups were compared: (1) RH Group A (n = 84), (2) IH Group (n = 84, same individuals as RH Group A), (3) RH Group B (n = 45/84 from RH Group A), and (4) RFA Group (n = 66). The clinical pathology and operative characteristics of the patients in RH Group A were compared to those in the IH Group. Meanwhile, the clinical pathology and pre- and post-treatment features of the patients in RH Group B were compared to those in the RFA Group. The tumor-free survival time was compared between patients in RH Group A and the IH Group as well as between patients in RH Group B and the RFA Group. The independent risk factors for the 1-year postoperative tumor-free survival of RH Group A patients were investigated using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results Measures of clinical pathology, including AFP, Child-Pugh score, HBV-DNA, tumor number, liver cirrhosis, tumor differentiation, surgical approach, and TNM stage differed significantly between patients in RH Group A and the IH Group (all P < 0.05), with the exception of tumor number and tumor size (both P > 0.05). No significant differences were found in these measures between the patients in RH Group B and the RFA Group (all P > 0.05). While patients in the RH Group A had a longer operation time than those in the IH Group (4.35 ± 1.25 h vs. 3.55 ± 0.92 h, P < 0.001), the level of intraoperative bleeding was similar (400.00 ± 199.25 ml vs. 359.40 ± 213.37 ml, P = 0.204). RH Group B patients had a longer hospitalization time than those in the RFA Group (6.5 ± 0.8 d vs. 5.5 ± 1.1 d, P < 0.001), however, the difference in hospitalization costs was not statistically significant (29,009 ± 3,806 CNY vs. 29,944 ± 3,752 CNY, P = 0.202). Five-day post-operative serum biomarker levels, including direct bilirubin (DB) and albumin (ALB), were significantly higher in RH Group B than in the RFA Group (all P < 0.05), with the exception of ALT, AST, and total bilirubin (TB) (all P > 0.05). Patients in RH Group A had a lower tumor-free survival time than those in the IH Group (median: 12 vs. 22 months, P < 0.001), and patients in the RH Group B had a significantly higher tumor-free survival time than those in the RFA group (median: 15 months vs. 8 months, P < 0.001). Age ≥50 y, Child-Pugh class A, and negative HBV-DNA were independent risk factors that positively impacted the 1-year postoperative tumor-free survival rate of postoperative intrahepatic recurrent HCC patients undergoing RH (P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion Due to the potential of harm related to relapse of recurrent HCC for cancer patients, RH is a superior option. RH could offer better outcomes for recurrent HCC patients undergoing IH. Compared with lesion pathology, the better target organ of the liver will be key to ameliorating tumor-free survival for recurrent HCC patients undergoing RH.

Abstract
As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, tetracycline has become a potential ecological hazard. Herein, titanium nitride (TiN), with an advantageous structure, was synthesized by simple heating rate regulation and constructed for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) degradation under light irradiation. All the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-adsorption/desorption isotherm, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectometry (DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the as-prepared TiN-x catalysts exhibited obviously enhanced photocatalytic property toward TC-HCl degradation compared with the commercial pure phase TiN (p-TiN). According to the results of photocatalytic degradation, TiN synthesized at 6 °C/min heating rate had the best removal rate of TC-HCl (90%) after dark reaction for 10 min and photo-degradation for 90 min. In addition, the trapping experiments have demonstrated that the photogenerated holes (h+) and superoxide radical ([Formula: see text]) are the main oxidation products of the present system. Strikingly, the reuse experiments showed high stability of TiN.
