Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant pathogens secrete effector proteins into host cells to suppress immune responses and manipulate fundamental cellular processes. One of these processes is autophagy, an essential recycling mechanism in eukaryotic cells that coordinates the turnover of cellular components and contributes to the decision on cell death or survival. RESULTS We report the characterization of AVH195, an effector from the broad-spectrum oomycete plant pathogen, Phytophthora parasitica. We show that P. parasitica expresses AVH195 during the biotrophic phase of plant infection, i.e., the initial phase in which host cells are maintained alive. In tobacco, the effector prevents the initiation of cell death, which is caused by two pathogen-derived effectors and the proapoptotic BAX protein. AVH195 associates with the plant vacuolar membrane system and interacts with Autophagy-related protein 8 (ATG8) isoforms/paralogs. When expressed in cells from the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the effector delays vacuolar fusion and cargo turnover upon stimulation of autophagy, but does not affect algal viability. In Arabidopsis thaliana, AVH195 delays the turnover of ATG8 from endomembranes and promotes plant susceptibility to P. parasitica and the obligate biotrophic oomycete pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our observations suggest that AVH195 targets ATG8 to attenuate autophagy and prevent associated host cell death, thereby favoring biotrophy during the early stages of the infection process.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts have exhibited encouraging oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. Nevertheless, the insufficient long-term stability remains a widespread concern owing to the inevitable 2-electron byproducts, H2O2. Here, we construct Co-N-Cr cross-interfacial electron bridges (CIEBs) via the interfacial electronic coupling between Cr2O3 and Co-N-C, breaking the activity-stability trade-off. The partially occupied Cr 3d-orbitals of Co-N-Cr CIEBs induce the electron rearrangement of CoN4 sites, lowering the Co-OOH* antibonding orbital occupancy and accelerating the adsorption of intermediates. Consequently, the Co-N-Cr CIEBs suppress the two-electron ORR process and approach the apex of Sabatier volcano plot for four-electron pathway simultaneously. As a proof-of-concept, the Co-N-Cr CIEBs is synthesized by the molten salt template method, exhibiting dominant 4-electron selectively and extremely low H2O2 yield confirmed by Damjanovic kinetic analysis. The Co-N-Cr CIEBs demonstrates impressive bifunctional oxygen catalytic activity (▵E=0.70 V) and breakthrough durability including 100 % current retention after 10 h continuous operation and cycling performance over 1500 h for Zn-air battery. The hybrid interfacial configuration and the understanding of the electronic coupling mechanism reported here could shed new light on the design of superdurable M-N-C catalysts.

Abstract
Microalgae are eukaryotic photosynthetic micro-organisms that convert CO2 into carbohydrates, lipids, and other valuable metabolites. They are considered promising chassis for the production of various bioproducts, including fatty acid-derived biofuels. However, algae-based biofuels are not yet commercially available, mainly because of their low yields and high production cost. Optimizing strains to improve lipid productivity using the principles of synthetic biology should help move forward. This necessitates developments in the following areas: (1) identification of molecular bricks (enzymes, transcription factors, regulatory proteins etc.); (2) development of genetic tools; and (3) availability of high-throughput phenotyping methods. Here, we highlight the most recent developments in some of these areas and provide examples of the use of genome editing tools to improve oil content.

Abstract
Terahertz (THz) imaging has long held promise for skin cancer detection but has been hampered by the lack of practical technological implementation. In this article, we introduce a technique for discriminating several skin pathologies using a coherent THz confocal system based on a THz quantum cascade laser. High resolution in vivo THz images (with diffraction limited to the order of 100 μm) of several different lesion types were acquired and compared against one another using the amplitude and phase values. Our system successfully separated pathologies using a combination of phase and amplitude information and their respective surface textures. The large scan field (50 × 40 mm) of the system allows macroscopic visualization of several skin lesions in a single frame. Utilizing THz imaging for dermatological assessment of skin lesions offers substantial additional diagnostic value for clinicians. THz images contain information complementary to the information contained in the conventional digital images.

Abstract
Microalgae are promising platforms for biofuel production. Transcription factors (TFs) are emerging as key regulators of lipid metabolism for biofuel production in microalgae. We previously identified a novel TF MYB1, which mediates lipid accumulation in the green microalga Chlamydomonas under nitrogen depletion. However, the function of MYB1 on lipid metabolism in microalgae under standard growth conditions remains poorly understood. Here, we examined the effects of MYB1 overexpression (MYB1-OE) on lipid metabolism and physiological changes in Chlamydomonas. Under standard growth conditions, MYB1-OE transformants accumulated 1.9 to 3.2-fold more triacylglycerols (TAGs) than that in the parental line (PL), and total fatty acids (FAs) also significantly increased. Moreover, saturated FA (C16:0) was enriched in TAGs and total FAs in MYB1-OE transformants. Notably, starch and protein content and biomass production also significantly increased in MYB1-OE transformants compared with that in PL. Furthermore, RT-qPCR results showed that the expressions of key genes involved in TAG, FA, and starch biosynthesis were upregulated. In addition, MYB1-OE transformants showed higher biomass production without a compromised cell growth rate and photosynthetic activity. Overall, our results indicate that MYB1 overexpression not only enhanced lipid content but also improved starch and protein content and biomass production under standard growth conditions. TF MYB1 engineering is a promising genetic engineering tool for biofuel production in microalgae.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises systemic inflammatory conditions primarily affecting the gastrointestinal tract, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. This research aims to analyze the clinical symptoms and pathogenesis of a Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced canine IBD model and evaluate the restorative effect of ginsenoside from a pathogenesis perspective. We established the DSS-induced canine IBD model and studied the pathological mechanisms. Additionally, we examined the therapeutic effect of ginsenosides by assessing the Canine Inflammatory Bowel Disease Activity Index (CIBDAI), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, colonic tissue morphology, protein expression, and mucosal bacterial community analysis. Our findings revealed a total ginsenoside content of 22.7% in the ginsenoside extract. Animal experiments demonstrated that dogs with IBD exhibited decreased mental state, significantly increased CIBDAI and CRP levels, disrupted colonic epithelial tissue structure, decreased expression of mucin, tight junctions, and adherens junctions, as well as reduced diversity of the colonic mucosal bacterial community. Furthermore, correlation analysis highlighted a total of 38 bacterial strains correlated with physiological indices. Significantly, ginsenoside treatment could improve these symptoms and reverse the relative abundance of some bacterial communities. In conclusion, alterations in the properties of the colonic mucus layer or the reduction in MUC2, its core component, in dogs with IBD can lead to bacterial penetration of the mucus layer and subsequent contact with intestinal epithelial cells, resulting in inflammation. Remarkably, ginsenoside intervention showcased the capacity to positively influence the relative abundance of bacteria and impact the colonic mucus layer properties, thereby offering promising prospects for IBD management and recovery.

Abstract
Arsenate (AsV) is a predominant arsenic contaminant in aerobic water. Microalgae have been recently used in the phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated water. However, the amount of AsV uptake in microalgae is limited, which hinders the application of microalgae in arsenic-contaminated water treatment. Here, we found that the expression of a novel phosphate transporter DsPht1 in Dunaliella salina was highly upregulated after AsV exposure. Fluorescent protein-tagging analysis showed the plasma membrane location of DsPht1. Furthermore, DsPht1 was overexpressed in a model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The DsPht1 transgenetic lines accumulated up to 6.4-fold higher total arsenic than the untransformed line, and the AsV amount in total arsenic increased by 8.3-fold. Moreover, the organoarsenic content was also higher in the transgenetic lines. Overall, the DsPht1 transformants generated in this study increased arsenate uptake and transformation, which are promising for the effective phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated water.

Abstract
Highly active and cost-efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are significant for developing renewable energy conversion devices. Herein, a nanocomposite Fe/ZnS-SNC electrocatalyst with an FeS and ZnS heterojunction on N,S-codoped carbon has been fabricated via a facile one-step sulfonating of the pre-designed Zn- and Fe-organic frameworks. Benefitting from the electron transfer from FeS to adjacent ZnS at the heterointerfaces, the optimized Fe/ZnS-SNC900 catalyst exhibits excellent ORR performances, featuring the half-wave potentials of 0.94 V and 0.81 V in alkaline and acidic media, respectively, which is competitive with the commercial 20 wt.% Pt/C (0.87 and 0.76 V). The flexible Zn-air battery equipping Fe/ZnS-SNC900 affords a higher open-circuit voltage (1.45 V) and power density of 30.2 mW cm-2. Fuel cells assembled with Fe/ZnS-SNC900 as cathodic catalysts deliver a higher power output of 388.3 and 242.8 mW cm-2 in H2-O2 and -air conditions. This work proposes advanced heterostructured ORR electrocatalysts that effectively promote renewable energy conversions.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly electrochemical reduction of contaminated nitrate to ammonia (NO3 - RR) is a promising solution for large quantity ammonia (NH3 ) production, which, however, is a complex multi-reaction process involving coordination between different reaction intermediates of nitrate reduction and water decomposition-provided active hydrogen (Hads ) species. Here, a dual-site catalyst of [W-O] group-doped CoP nanosheets (0.6W-O-CoP@NF) has been designed to synergistically catalyze the NO3 - RR and water decomposition, especially the reactions between the intermediates of NO3 - RR and water decomposition-provided Hads species. This catalytic NO3 - RR exhibits an extremely high NH3 yield of 80.92 mg h-1 cm-2 and a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 95.2% in 1 m KOH containing 0.1 m NO3 - . Significantly, 0.6W-O-CoP@NF presents greatly enhanced NH3 yield and FE in a wide NO3 - concentration ranges of 0.001-0.1 m compared to the reported. The excellent NO3 - RR performance is attributed to a synergistic catalytic effect between [W-O] and CoP active sites, in which the doped [W-O] group promotes the water decomposition to supply abundant Hads , and meanwhile modulates the electronic structure of Co for strengthened adsorption of Hads and the hydrogen (H2 ) release prevention, resultantly facilitating the NO3 - RR. Finally, a Zn-NO3 - battery has been assembled to simultaneously achieve three functions: electricity output, ammonia production, and nitrate treatment in wastewater.

Abstract
Substituting hydrazine oxidation reaction for oxygen evolution reaction can result in greatly reduced energy consumption for hydrogen production, however, the mechanism and the electrochemical utilization rate of hydrazine oxidation reaction remain ambiguous. Herein, a bimetallic and hetero-structured phosphide catalyst has been fabricated to catalyze both hydrazine oxidation and hydrogen evolution reactions, and a new reaction path of nitrogen-nitrogen single bond breakage has been proposed and confirmed in hydrazine oxidation reaction. The high electro-catalytic performance is attributed to the instantaneous recovery of metal phosphide active site by hydrazine and the lowered energy barrier, which enable the constructed electrolyzer using bimetallic phosphide catalyst at both sides to reach 500 mA cm-2 for hydrogen production at 0.498 V, and offer an enhanced hydrazine electrochemical utilization rate of 93%. Such an electrolyzer can be powered by a bimetallic phosphide anode-equipped direct hydrazine fuel cell, achieving self-powered hydrogen production at a rate of 19.6 mol h-1 m-2.

Abstract
Microalgae are promising feedstock for renewable fuels. The accumulation of oils in microalgae can be enhanced by nanoparticle exposure. However, the nanoparticles employed in previous studies are mostly non-biodegradable, which hinders nanoparticles developing as promising approach for biofuel production. We recently reported the engineered resin nanoparticles (iBCA-NPs), which were found to be biodegradable in this study. When the cells of green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were exposed to the iBCA-NPs for 1 h, the cellular triacyclglycerols (TAG) and starch contents increased by 520% and 60% than that in the control. The TAG production improved by 1.8-fold compared to the control without compromised starch production. Additionally, the content of total fatty acids increased by 1.3-fold than that in control. Furthermore, we found that the iBCA-NPs addition resulted in increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and upregulated the activities of antioxidant enzymes. The relative expressions of the key genes involved in TAG and starch biosynthesis were also upregulated. Overall, our results showed that short exposure of the iBCA-NPs dramatically enhances TAG and starch accumulation in Chlamydomonas, which probably resulted from prompt upregulated expression of the key genes in lipid and starch metabolic pathways that were triggered by over-accumulated ROS. This study reported a useful approach to enhance energy-rich reserve accumulation in microalgae. KEY POINTS: 1. The first attempt to increase oil and starch in microalgae by biodegradable NPs. 2. The biodegradability of iBCA-NPs by the BOD test was more than 50% after 28 days. 3. The iBCA-NPs induce more energy reserves than that of previously reported NPs.

Abstract
Microalgae biotechnology is a great candidate for carbon neutralization, wastewater treatment and the sustainable production of biofuels and food. Efficient and cost-effective microalgae production depends on highly coordinating the resources used for algal growth. However, dynamic natural disturbances such as culture temperature and sunlight can lead to the poor coordination and waste of resources. Open ponds are the most commonly used commercial microalgal production systems, and enhanced mixing can significantly increase their productivity, but mixing energy can be seriously wasted due to dynamic disturbances, presenting a hindrance to further reducing production costs. Herein, a smart and precise mixing strategy was developed for open ponds in which a paddle wheel's stirring speed for an open pond was smartly and precisely controlled in real time based on dynamic variations in light intensity and culture temperature. The proposed technology achieved the same biomass productivity of Spirulina platensis (8.37 g m-2 day-1) as a control with a constant high mixing rate under dynamic disturbances while reducing mixing energy inputs by approximately 30 % compared to the control. This study provides a promising method to address serious resource waste and poor coordination due to dynamic natural disturbances, holding great potential for efficient and cost-effective microalgae production.

Abstract
Earth-abundant tungsten carbide exhibits potential hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity owing to its Pt-like d-band electronic structure, which, unfortunately, suffers from the relatively strong tungsten-hydrogen binding, deteriorating its HER performance. Herein, a catalyst design concept of incorporating late transition metal into early transition metal carbide is proposed for regulating the metal-H bonding strength and largely enhancing the HER performance, which is employed to synthesize CoW bi-metallic carbide Co6 W6 C by a "disassembly-assembly" approach in a confined environment. Such synthesized Co6 W6 C nanocatalyst features the optimal Gibbs free energy of *H intermediate and dissociation barrier energy of H2 O molecules as well by taking advantage of the electron complementary effect between Co and W species, which endows the electrocatalyst with excellent HER performance in both alkaline and seawater/alkaline electrolytes featuring especially low overpotentials, elevated current densities, and much-enhanced operation durability in comparison to commercial Pt/C catalyst. Moreover, a proof-of-concept Mg/seawater battery equipped with Co6 W6 C-2-600 as cathode offers a peak power density of 9.1 mW cm-2 and an open-circuit voltage of ≈1.71 V, concurrently realizing hydrogen production and electricity output.

Abstract
Alveolar echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus multilocularis infection, is a highly deadly zoonotic parasitic disease. As a benzimidazole compound, albendazole has a strong and broad-spectrum anti-parasitic action. For alveolar echinococcosis patients that are unwilling to receive surgical treatment, lose the timing for surgery, or are intolerant to surgery due to poor physical status, administration of albendazole may delay disease progression. Recently, a large number of advances have been achieved in experimental studies on alveolar echinococcosis. In order to increase the understanding of the therapeutic efficacy of albendazole for alveolar echinococcosis, this review summarizes the advances in albendazole treatment for alveolar echinococcosis, so as to provide insights into the clinical treatment of alveolar echinococcosis with albendazole.

Abstract
Microalgae accumulate high levels of oil under stress, but the underlying biosynthetic pathways are not fully understood. We sought to identify key regulators of lipid metabolism under stress conditions. We found that the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii gene encoding the MYB-type transcription factor MYB1 is highly induced under stress conditions. Two myb1 mutants accumulated less total fatty acids and storage lipids than their parental strain upon nitrogen (N) depletion. Transcriptome analysis revealed that genes involved in lipid metabolism are highly enriched in the wild-type but not in the myb1-1 mutant after 4 h of N depletion. Among these genes were several involved in the transport of fatty acids from the chloroplast to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER): acyl-ACP thioesterase (FAT1), Fatty Acid EXporters (FAX1, FAX2), and long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase1 (LACS1). Furthermore, overexpression of FAT1 in the chloroplast increased lipid production. These results suggest that, upon N depletion, MYB1 promotes lipid accumulation by facilitating fatty acid transport from the chloroplast to the ER. This study identifies MYB1 as an important positive regulator of lipid accumulation in C. reinhardtii upon N depletion, adding another player to the established regulators of this process, including NITROGEN RESPONSE REGULATOR 1 (NRR1) and TRIACYLGLYCEROL ACCUMULATION REGULATOR 1 (TAR1).

Abstract
Fe-N-C electrocatalysts have been demonstrated to be the most promising substitutes for benchmark Pt/C catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we report that N-doped carbon materials with trace amounts of iron (0-0.08 wt. %) show excellent ORR activity and durability comparable and even superior to those of Pt/C in both alkaline and acidic media without significant contribution by the metal sites. Such an N-doped carbon (denoted as N-HPCs) features a hollow and hierarchically porous architecture, and more importantly, a noncovalently bonded N-deficient/N-rich heterostructure providing the active sites for oxygen adsorption and activation owing to the efficient electron transfer between the layers. The primary Zn-air battery using N-HPCs as the cathode delivers a much higher power density of 158 mW cm-2 , and the maximum power density in the H2 -O2 fuel cell reaches 486 mW cm-2 , which is comparable to and even better than those using conventional Fe-N-C catalysts at cathodes.

Abstract
Microalgae are a group of photosynthetic microorganisms, which have the general characteristics of plants such as photosynthesis, and some species have the ability of movement which resembles animals. Recently, it was reported that microalgae cells can be engineered to precisely deliver medicine-particles and other goods in microfluidic chips. These studies showed great application potential in biomedical treatment and pharmacodynamic analysis, which have become one of the current research hotspots. However, these developments have been rarely reviewed. Here, we summarized the advances in manageable movement exemplified by a model microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii based on its characteristics of chemotaxis, phototaxis, and magnetotaxis. The bottlenecks and prospects in the application of microalgae-based tactic movement were also discussed. This review might be useful for rational design and modification of microalgal manageable movement to achieve targeted transport in medical and other fields.

Abstract
Dunaliella salina is a green microalga with the great potential to generate natural β-carotene. However, the corresponding mathematical models to guide optimized production of β-carotene in Dunaliella salina (D. salina) are not yet available. In this study, dynamic models were proposed to simulate effects of environmental factors on cell growth and β-carotene production in D. salina using online monitoring system. Moreover, the identification model of the parameter variables was established, and an adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm based on parameter sensitivity analysis was constructed to solve the premature problem of particle swarm algorithm. The proposed kinetic model is characterized by high accuracy and predictability through experimental verification, which indicates its competence for future process design, control, and optimization. Based on the model established in this study, the optimal environmental factors for both β-carotene production and microalgae growth were identified. The approaches created are potentially useful for microalga Dunaliella salina cultivation and high-value β-carotene production.

Abstract
In this paper, the deformation and phase transformation of disordered α phase in the (α + γ) two-phase region in as-forged Ti-44Al-8Nb-(W, B, Y) alloy were investigated by hot-compression and hot-packed rolling. The detailed microstructural evolution demonstrated that the deformed microstructure was significantly affected by the deformation conditions, and the microstructure differences were mainly due to the use of a lower temperature and strain rate. Finer α grains were formed by the continuous dynamic recrystallization of α lamellae and α grains distributed around lamellar colonies. Moreover, the grooved γ grains formed by the phase transformation from α lamellae during hot rolling cooperated with and decomposed α lamellae. A microstructure evolution model was built for the TiAl alloy at 1250 °C during hot rolling.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous and specialized organelles in eukaryotic cells. Consisting of a triacylglycerol core surrounded by a monolayer of membrane lipids, LDs are decorated with proteins and have myriad functions, from carbon/energy storage to membrane lipid remodeling and signal transduction. The biogenesis and turnover of LDs are therefore tightly coordinated with cellular metabolic needs in a fluctuating environment. Lipid droplet turnover requires remodeling of the protein coat, lipolysis, autophagy and fatty acid β-oxidation. Several key components of these processes have been identified in Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), including the major lipid droplet protein, a CXC-domain containing regulatory protein, the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding DTH1 (DELAYED IN TAG HYDROLYSIS1), two lipases and two enzymes involved in fatty acid β-oxidation. Here, we review LD turnover and discuss its physiological significance in Chlamydomonas, a major model green microalga in research on algal oil.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate 2 varieties of almond hulls (prime and California type hulls) as an alternative feed ingredient on the performance, egg quality, nutrient digestibility, and body composition using a total of 100 23-week-old Hy-Line W36 hens. Treatments consisted of a control diet based on corn and soybean meal; T2 and T3 were formulated to contain 7.5 and 15% of prime hulls; and T4 and T5 contained 7.5 and 15% of California type hulls. Inclusion of prime hulls and California type hulls had no effects on feed intake, egg laying rate, and feed conversion ratio, but California type hulls at 7.5% decreased (P < 0.001) body weight gain compared to the control. Prime hulls at 7.5% and California type hulls at both levels improved (P ≤ 0.022) AMEn and N digestibility. Both prime hulls and California type hulls had no effects on egg size, specific gravity, Haugh unit, and percentages of yolk, albumen and shell, but yolk color appeared greener and less yellow (P ≤ 0.009) by prime hulls and less yellow (P = 0.001) by California type hulls. For body composition, prime hulls and California type hulls at both levels lowered (P ≤ 0.017) body fat, and California type hulls at 7.5% decreased (P = 0.001) lean weight. In summary, inclusion of prime hulls and California type hulls up to 15% had no negative effect on egg production and egg quality while reduced the body fat percentage and mass.

Abstract
Luminescence, a physical phenomenon that producing cool light in vivo, has been found in bacteria, fungi, and animals but not yet in terrestrial higher plants. Through genetic engineering, it is feasible to introduce luminescence systems into living plant cells as biomarkers. Recently, some plants transformed with luminescent systems can glimmer in darkness, which can be observed by our naked eyes and provides a novel lighting resource. In this review, we summarized the bioassay development of luminescence in plant cells, followed by exampling the successful cases of glowing plants transformed with diverse luminescent systems. The potential key factors to design or optimize a glowing plant were also discussed. Our review is useful for the creation of the optimized glowing plants, which can be used not only in scientific research, but also as promising substitutes of artificial light sources in the future.

Abstract
The use of activated biochar-based electrode derived from waste biomass in energy technologies, such as metal-air batteries and supercapacitors, is an important strategy for realizing energy and environmental sustainability in the future. Herein, peanut shells (waste biomass) were employed to prepare activated biochar materials by pyrolysis in molten KCl and heat-treatment. The effective dispersion and corrosion effects of molten salt for the pyrolysis products during pyrolysis obviously increase defects and specific surface area of the activated biochar materials. The prepared activated biochar material (PS-800-1000) by pyrolysis in molten KCl at 800 °C and heat-treatment at 1000 °C exhibits excellent catalytic activity with half-wave potential of 0.84 V vs. RHE, comparable to commercial Pt/C for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 M KOH and outstanding supercapacitance performance in 6 M KOH with high specific capacitance (355 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1), which exceeds all reported biochar derived from peanut shells. The PS-800-1000-based zinc-air battery (ZAB) displays higher peak power density (141 mW cm-2), specific capacity (767 mAh gZn-1) and cycling stability than Pt/C-based ZAB. The activated biochar prepared by pyrolysis in molten KCl and heat-treatment method from peanut shells can be a promising candidate for replacing precious metals in energy conversion/storage devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare condition that is associated with pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). Few reports have described managing PAVMs using uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). CASE PRESENTATION A 13-year-old child with PAVF in the left inferior pulmonary artery was treated by uniportal VATS with left lower lobectomy. After surgery, hemoptysis did not recur and there were no postoperative complications. Six months after the operation, postoperative review of computerized tomography showed no recrudescence of PAVF. CONCLUSIONS PAVF is a rare case that should be diagnosed and treated early. 3D- computerized tomography (CT) reconstruction is useful for diagnosis and preoperative assessment. The case shows that PAVF can be managed with uniportal VATS.

Abstract
The unicellular alga Dunaliella salina is regarded as a promising cell factory for the commercial production of β-carotene due to its high yield of carotenoids. However, the underlying mechanism of β-carotene accumulation is still unclear. In this study, the regulatory mechanism of β-carotene accumulation in D. salina under stress conditions was investigated. Our results indicated that there is a significant positive correlation between the cellular ROS level and β-carotene content, and the maximum quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) of PSII is negatively correlated with β-carotene content under stress conditions. The increase of ROS was found to be coupled with the inhibition of Fv/Fm of PSII in D. salina under stress conditions. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis of the cells cultivated with H2O2 supplementation showed that the major differentially expressed genes involved in β-carotene metabolism were upregulated, whereas the genes involved in photosynthesis were downregulated. These results indicated that ROS induce β-carotene accumulation in D. salina through fine-tuning genes which were involved in photosynthesis and β-carotene biosynthesis. Our study provided a better understanding of the regulatory mechanism involved in β-carotene accumulation in D. salina, which might be useful for overaccumulation of carotenoids and other valuable compounds in other microalgae.

Abstract
Survival for patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) remains poor. Systemic chemotherapy which has reached a plateau stays the standard first-line (1L) treatment for advanced human epidermal growth-factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative GC. To maximize the benefit of 1L treatment, the concept of maintenance treatment is constantly being explored. In advanced HER2-negative GC, current clinical guidelines do not recommend a standard maintenance therapy strategy. In addition to the monotherapy maintenance with fluorouracil after 4-6 cycles of 1L chemotherapy, some agents that are active against novel targets have been evaluated in clinical trials for maintenance treatment. Whereas most of these trials do not reach their primary endpoints, they open new horizons for the 1L treatment of advanced HER2-negative GC. Therefore, we reviewed the clinical trials in the field of maintenance treatment in advanced HER2-negative GC and discussed some of the problems in clinical trials.

Abstract
Cultivation of microalgae on ocean provides a promising way to produce massive biomass without utilizing limited land space, and using seawater as culture medium can avoid consumption of valuable fresh water. Bicarbonate is proved as a better approach for carbon supply in microalgae cultivation, but Ca2+ and Mg2+ in seawater is subjected to precipitate with carbonate derived from it. In this study, cultivation with this medium for a marine Chlorella sp. resulted in productivity of 0.470 g L-1 day-1, despite of continual precipitation caused by increased pH due to bicarbonate consumption. Actually, this precipitation is favorable, since it can work as a flocculation harvesting method for microalgae. The highest flocculation efficiency of 98.9 ± 0.0% was observed in cultures with 7.0 g L-1 NaHCO3, which was higher than that of cultures without bicarbonate (44.1 ± 0.2%). Additionally, the spent medium after flocculation supported better growth (1.60 ± 0.0 g L-1) than the fresh medium (1.26 ± 0.0 g L-1). Outdoor cultivation with floating photobioreactor on ocean resulted in the productivity of 0.190 g L-1 day-1, which was higher than that in land-based culture systems. The floating system also benefited from better temperature control with range from 20.6 to 37.2 °C, due to solar heating and surrounding water cooling. These results showed feasibility of efficient microalgae biomass production with fully utilizing of ocean resources, including culture medium preparation and temperature control with seawater, as well as wave energy for mixing, holding great potential to produce massive biomass to support sustainable development of human society.

Abstract
The development of high-efficiency and low-cost catalysts is one of the core and important issues to improve the efficiency of electrochemical reactions on electrodes, and it is also the goal we ultimately pursue in the commercialization of large-scale clean energy technologies, such as metal-air batteries. Herein, a nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (GO)-carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid network supported coupled Co/MnO nanoparticles (Co/MnO@N-C) catalyst was prepared with a hydrothermal-pyrolysis method. The unique three-dimensional network structure of substrate allowed for the uniform dispersion of Co-MnO nanoparticles in the carbon skeleton. These characters enable the Co/MnO@N-C to possess the excellent bifunctional electrocatalysts. In alkaline electrolyte, the Co/MnO@N-C presents the outstanding oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance comparable to the commercial RuO2 catalyst and the exceedingly good oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity with positive half-wave potential of 0.90 V vs. RHE outperforming commercial Pt/C (0.84 V vs. RHE) and the recently reported analogous electrocatalysts. When it is applied to homemade Zn-air batteries, such a non-noble metal electrocatalyst can deliver a better power density, specific capacity and cycling stability than mixed Pt/C and RuO2 catalyst, and exhibits a wide application prospect and great practical value.

Abstract
The increasing demand for triacylglycerol (TAG) enriching polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has led to a surge of interest in microalgal TAG metabolism. Polar membrane lipids serve as the desaturation carrier for PUFA, and the functional group of PUFA can be incorporated into TAG. Monogalactoglycerolipid has been found to provide the de novo synthesized oleate acyl group or the nascent polyunsaturated diacylglycerol backbone for TAG biosynthesis in the model green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. However, whether other membrane lipids take part in the formation of PUFA-attached TAG has not been clearly discovered. A time course study of glycerolipidomics in the starchless mutant of C. reinhardtii, BAFJ5, which hyper-accumulates TAG, revealed that digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) and diacylglycerol-N,N,N-trimethylhomoserine (DGTS) turned into the main components of membrane lipids, accounting for 62% of the total polar lipids, under nitrogen deprivation combined with high light conditions. In addition, the membrane lipid molecules DGDG 18:3n3/16:0 and DGTS 16:0/18:3n6 were presumed to be involved in the consecutive integration of the de novo synthesized linolenates into TAG. Based on the stoichiometry calculation, DGDG and DGTS were demonstrated to provide a major contribution to the accumulation of linolenate-attached TAG. Our study gives insights into the potential PUFA-attached TAG formation pathway mediated by the turnover of de novo synthesized DGDG and DGTS in the starchless mutant of Chlamydomonas.
