Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between hematocrit (HCT) and cardiovascular events in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: Patients undergoing maintenance PD in the PD center of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from March 19, 2012 to July 9, 2020 were included. Demographic, baseline clinical and laboratory data of the patients were collected and patients were followed up until April 8, 2022. The primary endpoint was the first occurrence of a cardiovascular event. According to the tertiles of baseline HCT, the patients were divided into group Q1 (HCT≤26.6%), group Q2 (HCT>26.6%-32.4%), and group Q3 (HCT>32.4%). Laboratory indexes and cardiovascular events were compared among the three groups. Kaplan-Meier survival curve, Cox regression analysis and sensitivity analysis were used to analyze the effect of HCT on cardiovascular outcomes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of HCT for cardiovascular events in PD patients. Results: A total of 860 PD patients were included, including 494 males (57.4%) and 366 females (42.6%), with a mean age of (41.5±15.0) years. There were 287 cases in group Q1, 289 cases in group Q2, and 284 cases in group Q3, respectively. A total of 265 (30.8%) patients experienced first cardiovascular events during the follow-up period. The incidence of cardiovascular events in groups Q1, Q2 and Q3 was 36.2% (104/287), 34.3% (99/289), and 21.8% (62/284), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The incidence of cardiovascular events decreased with the increase of HCT. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis showed that decreased HCT was a risk factor for cardiovascular events. Compared with group Q3, the risk of cardiovascular events in group Q1 increased by 50.7% (group Q2: HR=1.444, 95%CI: 1.029-2.028, P=0.034; group Q1: HR=1.570, 95%CI: 1.096-2.250, P=0.014). In the sensitivity analysis, using kidney transplantation as the competition event, the risk of cardiovascular events was lower in group Q3 than that in group Q1 (subdistributional HR=1.413, 95%CI: 1.006-1.990, P=0.046). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that compared with the other two groups, the cardiovascular events-free survival rate of patients in group Q1 was significantly lower (log-rank χ2=9.722, P=0.008). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of HCT for predicting cardiovascular events in PD patients was 0.583 (95%CI: 0.542-0.623, P<0.001), with the sensitivity of 40.6% and the specificity of 75.1%. Conclusion: Low-level HCT is associated with an increased risk of the first cardiovascular event in PD patients.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) materials, despite their high theoretical capacity, exhibit significant performance degradation with increasing load due to their low conductivity. Simultaneously achieving both high capacity and high rate performance is challenging. Herein, we fabricated vertically aligned CuO nanowires in situ on the copper foam (CF) substrate by alkali-etching combined with the annealing process. Using this as a skeleton, electrochemical deposition technology was used to grow the amorphous α-phase CoNi-LDH nanosheets on its surface. Thanks to the high specific surface area of the CuO skeleton, ultrahigh loading (̃16.36 mg cm-2) was obtained in the fabricated CF/CuO@CoNi-LDH electrode with the cactus-like hierarchical structure, which enhanced the charge transfer and ion diffusion dynamics. The CF/CuO@CoNi-LDH electrode achieved a good combination of high areal capacitance (33.5 F cm-2) and high rate performance (61% capacitance retention as the current density increases 50 times). The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor device demonstrated a maximum potential window of 0-1.6 V and an energy density of 1.7 mWh cm-2 at a power density of 4 mW cm-2. This work provides a feasible strategy for the design and fabrication of high-mass-loading LDH composites for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have indicated that the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) index is associated with hypertension; however, evidence on the association of change in the TyG index with blood pressure and hypertension is limited. AIMS To assess the association of the TyG index with blood pressure and hypertension. DESIGN A cohort study. METHODS We included 17 977 individuals with a mean age of 60.5 years from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dl)×fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2]. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg, self-reported current use of antihypertensive medication or self-reported physician diagnosis of hypertension. RESULTS In the longitudinal analyses, we found a linear dose-response relationship between changes in the TyG index and change in blood pressure. Each one-unit change in the TyG index was associated with a 1.93 (1.23-2.63) mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and a 1.78 (1.42-2.16) mmHg increase in diastolic blood pressure (DBP). During a median follow-up of 9.37 years, a total of 3594 individuals were newly diagnosed with hypertension. We also found a linear dose-response relationship between the TyG index and the incidence of hypertension. The hazard ratio (HR) of hypertension for each one-unit increase in the TyG index was 1.21 (1.13-1.29). In addition, the best cut-off point of TyG for predicting hypertension was 8.4797, with sensitivity, and specificity of 57.85% and 55.40%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index had a positive dose-response relationship with blood pressure and could be used to predict the risk of hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal tubular injury, accompanied by damaging inflammation, has been identified to drive diabetic kidney disease (DKD) toward end-stage renal disease. However, it is unclear how damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) activate innate immunity to mediate tubular epithelial cell (TEC) injury, which in turn causes with subsequent sterile inflammation in diabetic kidneys. High mobility group nucleosome-binding protein 1 (HMGN1) is a novel DAMP that contributes to generating the innate immune response. In this study, we focused on determining whether HMGN1 is involved in DKD progression. METHODS Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice model was established. Then we downrergulated HMGN1 expression in kidney with or without HMGN1 administration. The renal dysfunction and morphological lesions in the kidneys were evaluated. The expressions of KIM-1, MCP-1, F4/80, CD68, and HMGN1/TLR4 signaling were examined in the renal tissue. In vitro, HK2 cells were exposed in the high glucose with or without HMGN1, and further pre-incubated with TAK242 was applied to elucidate the underlying mechanism. RESULTS We demonstrated that HMGN1 was upregulated in the tubular epithelial cells of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 and type 2 diabetic mouse kidneys compared to controls, while being positively correlated with increased TLR4, KIM-1, and MCP-1. Down-regulation of renal HMGN1 attenuated diabetic kidney injury, decreased the TLR4, KIM-1, and MCP-1 expression levels, and reduced interstitial infiltrating macrophages. However, these phenotypes were reversed after administration of HMGN1. In HK-2 cells, HMGN1 promoted the expression of KIM-1 and MCP-1 via regulating MyD88/NF-κB pathway; inhibition of TLR4 effectively diminished the in vitro response to HMGN1. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides novel insight into HMGN1 signaling mechanisms that contribute to tubular sterile injury and low-grade inflammation in DKD. The study findings may help to develop new HMGN1-targeted approaches as therapy for immune-mediated kidney damage rather than as an anti-infection treatments.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and sarcopenic obesity (SO) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with normal body mass index (BMI). Methods: A multicenter and cross-sectional study that included adult patients undergoing MHD was conducted in 20 hemodialysis centers from June 1st to August 30th, 2021. Body composition was evaluated by body composition monitor based on bioimpedance spectroscopy. According to the quartiles of WHtR, patients were divided into four groups: Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 group. The association of WHtR with SO was determined by multiple logistic regression models, stratified analyses, interactive analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, respectively. Results: A total of 2 207 MHD patients (1 341 males and 866 females) were included, and aged [M (Q1, Q3)] 57 (44, 68) years. The prevalence of SO was increased with increasing quartiles of WHtR [8.6% (46/533), 22.5% (141/628), 35.4% (215/608), and 44.3% (194/438) for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 group, respectively]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that WHtR was associated with SO. The association remained statistically significant even after adjusting for age, gender, dialysis vintage, BMI, biochemical indicators, and various medical histories. Compared with Q1 group, the odds ratios (OR) were 2.54 (95%CI: 1.69-3.83), 4.30 (95%CI: 2.88-6.42) and 5.18 (95%CI: 3.37-7.96) for Q2, Q3 and Q4 group, respectively. The interaction analysis showed that age, sex and history of diabetes had interactive roles in the association between WHtR and SO (all P<0.05). The association stably existed across subgroups, and it was more obvious in male patients, those with older age and without a history of diabetes(all P<0.05). Furthermore, the cut-off value of WHtR identifying SO in male patients was 0.49, and the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) was 0.73 (95%CI: 0.70-0.75), with the sensitivity of 72.7% and specificity of 60.3%. In female patients, the cut-off value was 0.51, and the AUC was 0.68 (95%CI: 0.65-0.71), with the sensitivity of 70.1% and specificity of 57.8%. Conclusion: WHtR could be used as a simple index to evaluate the risk of SO in MHD patients with normal BMI.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on insulin resistance in pregnant mice with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and underlying mechanism. C57BL/6 mice fed with a high-fat diet for 4 weeks and the newly gestated were selected and injected with streptozotocin for GDM modeling. We demonstrated that the fasting insulin levels (FINS) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) in serum and blood glucose level were significantly higher in GDM group than in normal control (NC) group. The low or high dose of EPA intervention reduced these levels, and the effect of high dose intervention was more significant. The area under the curve in GDM group was higher than that of NC group, and then gradually decreased after low or high dose of EPA treatment. The serum levels of TC, TG and LDL were increased in GDM group, while decreased in EPA group. GDM induced down-regulation of HDL level, and the low or high dose of EPA gradually increased this level. The levels of p-AKT2Ser, p-IRS-1Tyr, GLUT4, and ratios of pIRS-1Tyr/IRS-1 and pAKT2Ser/AKT2 in gastrocnemius muscle were reduced in GDM group, while low or high dose of EPA progressively increased these alterations. GDM enhanced TLR4, NF-kappaB p65, IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels in placental tissues, and these expressions were declined at different dose of EPA, and the decrease was greater at high dose. We concluded that EPA receded the release of inflammatory factors in the placental tissues by inhibiting the activation of TLR4 signaling, thereby alleviating the IR.

Abstract
We investigated the high energy spin excitations in electron-doped La_{2-x}Ce_{x}CuO_{4}, a cuprate superconductor, by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements. Efforts were paid to disentangle the paramagnon signal from non-spin-flip spectral weight mixing in the RIXS spectrum at Q_{∥}=(0.6π,0) and (0.9π,0) along the (1 0) direction. Our results show that, for doping level x from 0.07 to 0.185, the variation of the paramagnon excitation energy is marginal. We discuss the implication of our results in connection with the evolution of the electron correlation strength in this system.

Abstract
DNA damage and its improper repair are the major source of genomic alterations responsible for many human diseases, particularly cancer. To aid researchers in understanding the underlying mechanisms of genome instability, a number of genome-wide profiling approaches have been developed to monitor DNA damage and repair events. The rapid accumulation of published datasets underscores the critical necessity of a comprehensive database to curate sequencing data on DNA damage and repair intermediates. Here, we present DNA Damage Atlas (DDA, http://www.bioinformaticspa.com/DDA/), the first large-scale repository of DNA damage and repair information. Currently, DDA comprises 6,030 samples from 262 datasets by 59 technologies, covering 16 species, 10 types of damage and 135 treatments. Data collected in DDA was processed through a standardized workflow, including quality checks, hotspots identification and a series of feature characterization for the hotspots. Notably, DDA encompasses analyses of highly repetitive regions, ribosomal DNA and telomere. DDA offers a user-friendly interface that facilitates browsing, searching, genome browser visualization, hotspots comparison and data downloading, enabling convenient and thorough exploration for datasets of interest. In summary, DDA will stand as a valuable resource for research in genome instability and its association with diseases.

Abstract
2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have garnered significant interest as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their open transport channels and abundant Zn2+ intercalation sites. However, unmodified TMDs exhibit low electrochemical activity and poor kinetics owing to the high binding energy and large hydration radius of divalent Zn2+ . To overcome these limitations, an interlayer engineering strategy is proposed where K+ is preintercalated into K-MoS2 nanosheets, which then undergo in situ growth on carbon nanospheres (denoted as K-MoS2 @C nanoflowers). This strategy stimulates in-plane redox-active sites, expands the interlayer spacing (from 6.16 to 9.42 Å), and induces the formation of abundant MoS2 1T-phase. The K-MoS2 @C cathode demonstrates excellent redox activity and fast kinetics, attributed to the potassium ions acting as a structural "stabilizer" and an electrostatic interaction "shield," accelerating charge transfer, promoting Zn2+ diffusion, and ensuring structural stability. Meanwhile, the carbon nanospheres serve as a 3D conductive network for Zn2+ and enhance the cathode's hydrophilicity. More significantly, the outstanding electrochemical performance of K-MoS2 @C, along with its superior biocompatibility and degradability of its related components, can enable an implantable energy supply, providing novel opportunities for the application of transient electronics.

Abstract
AIM To develop a model using radiomics features extracted from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) to predict the BRAF mutation in patients with melanoma brain metastases (MBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 220 tumours were classified into two groups. One was a group whose BRAF mutation was identified, and the other group whose BRAF mutation was not identified. We extracted 1,962 radiomics features from gadolinium contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI treatment-planning images. Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique (SMOTE) was performed to address the unbalanced data-related issues. A single-layer neural network (NN) was used to build predictive models with radiomics features. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and the area under the curve (AUC) were evaluated to assess the model performance. RESULTS The prediction performance for the final evaluation without the SMOTE had an accuracy of 77.14%, a specificity of 82.44%, a sensitivity of 81.85%, and an AUC of 0.79. The application of SMOTE improved the prediction model to an accuracy of 83.1%, a specificity of 87.07%, a sensitivity of 78.82%, and an AUC of 0.82. CONCLUSION The current study showed the feasibility of generating a highly accurate NN model for the BRAF mutation prediction. The prediction performance improved with SMOTE. The model assists physicians to obtain more accurate expectations of the treatment outcome without a genetic test.

Abstract
The advent of implantable bioelectronic devices offers prospective solutions toward health monitoring and disease diagnosis and treatments. However, advances in power modules have lagged far behind the tissue-integrated sensor nodes and circuit units. Here, we report a soft implantable power system that monolithically integrates wireless energy transmission and storage modules. The energy storage unit comprises biodegradable Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors that use molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) nanosheets as cathode, ion-crosslinked alginate gel as electrolyte, and zinc foil as anode, achieving high capacitance (93.5 mF cm-2) and output voltage (1.3 V). Systematic investigations have been conducted to elucidate the charge storage mechanism of the supercapacitor and to assess the biodegradability and biocompatibility of the materials. Furthermore, the wirelessly transmitted energy can not only supply power directly to applications but also charge supercapacitors to ensure a constant, reliable power output. Its power supply capabilities have also been successfully demonstrated for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) CAPSTONE-1, a phase 3 trial, showed that SHR-1316 (PD-L1 antibody) combined with standard first-line chemotherapy could prolong overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with ES-SCLC. The CREST trial reported consolidative thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) of 30 Gy in 10 fractions provided a 10% 2-year OS benefit and more intensive TRT should be investigated in ES-SCLC. In the era of immunotherapy, the role of TRT also needs further exploration. Therefore, we designed this clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1316 plus first-line chemotherapy followed by TRT combined with SHR-1316. MATERIALS/METHODS Key inclusion criteria were pts aged 18-75 years, with previously untreated histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC, and an ECOG performance status of 0-1. Eligible pts would receive 4∼6 cycles of SHR-1316 (20mg/kg, D1, q3w) combined with EP/EC (etoposide, 100mg/m2, D1-5, q3w and cisplatin, 75mg/m², D1-3, q3w or carboplatin, AUC = 5, D1, q3w), followed by SHR-1316 combined with TRT (≥3 Gy*10 f or ≥2 Gy*25 f, involved-field irradiation), and then the maintenance therapy with SHR-1316 until disease progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs). The main endpoints included ORR, PFS and safety. RESULTS From October 2020 to January 2023, 33 pts received SHR-1316 and sequential consolidative TRT. Among them, 19 pts received high-dose TRT (>3 Gy*10 f or ≥2 Gy*25 f) and 14 pts received low-dose TRT (≤3 Gy*10 f or<2 Gy*25 f). The median age was 62 (range: 38-73). Most pts were male (28, 84.8%), former smokers (22, 66.7%) with an ECOG performance status 1 (32, 97%). Ten (30.3%) pts were diagnosed with brain metastasis and 10 (30.3%) pts had liver metastasis at baseline. At the data cutoff date, 9 pts remained on treatment, the average number of treatment cycles was 9.2. 33 pts had at least one 1 post-treatment tumor assessment. The confirmed ORR and DCR were 90.9% (30/33) and 100% (33/33) in all pts, were 89.5% (17/19) and 100% (19/19) in high-dose TRT group, and were 92.9% (13/14) and 100% (14/14) in low-dose TRT group. The median PFS was 10.2(CI: 5.8∼14.7) months in all pts, was 7 (CI: 3.8∼10.2) months in high-dose TRT group and 10.4 (CI: 8.4∼12.3) months in low-dose TRT group. AEs occurred in 27 (81.8%) pts and grade 3 or 4 AEs occurred in 20 (60.6%) pts. The most common grade 3 or 4 AEs included neutropenia (15, 45.5%), leukopenia (8, 24.2%), lymphocytopenia (5, 15.2%), pneumonia (3, 9.1%), anemia (3, 9.1%) and thrombocytopenia (2, 6.1%). CONCLUSION SHR-1316 plus chemotherapy and sequential TRT as first-line therapy for ES-SCLC showed promising efficacy and acceptable safety. There is no significant difference between high-dose and low-dose TRT groups in terms of safety and efficacy according to current data.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In the current clinical work, hypo-fractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) and conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) are considered to be completely different treatments. However, the difference between the HFRT and CFRT in reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is still inconclusive. Our previous work found that compared with HFRT, CFRT is more inclined to trigger immunosuppressive phenotype, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Based on this, we use single-cell mRNA sequencing to describe the landscape of TIME with HFRT and CFRT, and find the key targets or pathways to combine with radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS By simulating the in vivo radiotherapy strategy, we built recurrent murine cell lines mimicking CFRT and HFRT recurrent tumors (CFRT_R and HFRT_R tumors) with small animal radiation research platform (SARRP). RESULTS Based on this unique model, we found that CFRT_R tumors can promote local relapse and lung metastasis significantly compared to HFRT_R tumors. Results of single-cell mRNA sequencing and FCAS also indicate that CFRT_R tumors possess more macrophages in the tumor site and neutrophils in the metastatic site. By using quantitative proteomics of secreted proteins, we prove that CFRT_R tumors secret more Ccl2, S100a11 and Slpi. Mechanically, CFRT_R tumors influence the polarization of M2 TAMs leading to tumor growth through secretion of Ccl2 and S100a11. Meanwhile, CFRT_R tumors also augment the infiltration of neutrophils in the lung through Slpi altering the lung immune landscape to support metastasis. ChIP and EMSA results also reveal that RelB is the core transcription factor of Ccl2, S100a11 and Slpi. Furthermore, local relapse and lung metastasis can be reversed by targeting non-canonical NF-kB pathway. CONCLUSION The effect of CFRT_R and HFRT_R tumors in reprogramming TIME is different, CFRT_R tumors can trigger immunosuppressive phenotype compared to HFRT_R tumors by possessing more M2 TAMs in the tumor site and neutrophils in the metastatic site. The killing function of tumor infiltrated T cells can be inhibited by accumulated M2 TAMs, and abundant neutrophils in lungs contribute to the formation of the pre-metastatic niche. Targeting non-canonical NF-kB pathway can reverse local relapse and lung metastasis in CFRT_R tumors by suppressing Ccl2, S100a11 and Slpi secretion. In short, our study not only deepens the understanding of the immune landscape of CFRT and HFRT recurrence tumors, but also provides a novel therapy of CFRT recurrence patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The immunosuppressive function of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) has been implicated in the regulation of immune responses against cancer. MDSCs have been associated with progression and poor response to therapy in various types of cancer, including cervical cancer. Radiation treatment (RT) alters immune cell populations within the tumor and is thought to augment antitumor responses. However, whether RT also recruits immunosuppressive MDSC populations is not well understood. Here, we investigate how circulating MDSC populations change in response to RT and if changes in MDSC frequency or subsets is predictive of RT responses in cervical cancer patients. MATERIALS/METHODS Newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve pts with locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix will be enrolled from July 2022 to July 2023. EBRT to the pelvis was delivered at a dose of 45 Gy in 25 fractions with a simultaneous integrated boost of 52-55 Gy to involved regional lymph nodes and parametria and concurrent weekly cisplatin. Gross tumor was boosted via interstitial or tandem ring BT (22.5-27.5 Gy) after completion of EBRT. Serial blood samples were collected prior to initiating therapy (T0), post-EBRT and pre-BT (T1), and one-month post-BT (T2). Treatment response was determined based on pre-treatment MRI compared to MRI post-EBRT. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood using density gradient centrifugation and stained for analysis via flow cytometry. MDSC populations were identified by Live/Dead-CD11b+CD33+HLA-DR- staining. MDSC subsets were further subdivided into granulocytic (G-, CD15+CD14-), monocytic (M-, CD15-CD14+), or early-MDSCs (e-, CD15-CD14-). RESULTS Blood samples were collected at indicated time points for four patients (FIGO stage IIA-IIB). Three had partial responses to chemoradiotherapy (CRT), while one had a complete response. All three patients with partial response had an increase in total frequency of circulating MDSCs in response to EBRT/BT (mean %fx MDSC 16.6 at T0 to 35.9 at T2), and an increase in total MDSCs in two of these patients occurred with EBRT alone. Interestingly, the patient that had a complete response had fewer MDSCs at T2 relative to T0 (35.8% at T0 to 27% at T2). Proportion of MDSC subsets varied considerably among the patients, and all had altered distribution of subsets in response to RT. G-MDSCs expanded the most to RT while M-MDSCs and e-MDSCs were less affected (mean fold change from T0 to T2 G-MDSC 4.75, M-MDSC 1.27, e-MDSC 0.942). CONCLUSION In this cohort of patients, an increase in MDSC frequency occurred after RT and altered subset distribution. Only the patient with a complete response had fewer total MDSCs following completion of CRT, suggesting further studies are needed to determine if circulating MDSCs could be a biomarker for treatment response to RT in cervical cancer.

Objective: To explore the correlation between extracellular water/body cell mass (ECW/BCM) ratio and cognitive impairment (CI) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in Guizhou Province. All adult MHD patients in hemodialysis centers of 18 hospitals in Guizhou Province between June and October 2020 were included. Cognitive function was assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score. The ECW and BCM was derived from bioelectrical impedance, and the ECW/BCM ratio was calculated. The patients were divided into four groups based on the quartile of ECW/BCM ratio. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted. Results: A total of 3 160 patients were included in the final analysis, of which 761 (24.1%) developed CI. There were 1 868 males (59.1%) and 1 292 females (40.9%), and the mean age was (55±15) years. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of CI in ECW/BCM Q3 group was 1.55 times (95%CI: 1.03-2.34, P=0.035) of that in group Q1, while the risk of CI in Q4 group was 1.62 times of that in group Q1 (95%CI: 1.05-2.51, P=0.029). Subgroup analysis showed that there was an interaction between previous cerebrovascular event and ECW/BCM on CI (P for interaction=0.04). Patients with a previous history of cerebrovascular events had a higher risk of CI than those without. Among those with no previous cerebrovascular events, the risk of CI in group Q4 was 1.62 times of that in group Q1 (95%CI: 1.19-2.20), while the risk of CI in group Q4 was 7.17 times of that in group Q1 (95%CI: 1.59-32.35) in those with previous cerebrovascular events. Conclusion: Increased ECW/BCM ratio is associated with increased CI risk in patients with MHD, and the risk was more obvious in those with previous history of cerebrovascular events.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between refractive status and ocular biometric parameters in preschool children in Shunyi District, Beijing. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a random cluster sampling method to measure the ocular axial length (AL), corneal curvature(CR), anterior chamber depth, and horizontal corneal diameter (WTW) using an optical biometer in 3-6-year-old children from 11 kindergartens in Shunyi District, Beijing. The ratio of AL to corneal curvature radius (AL/CR) was calculated. Cycloplegic refraction was performed using 1% cyclopentolate, and the equivalent spherical diopter (SE) was calculated. Ocular biometric parameters were compared among different age groups and refractive statuses. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted between SE and ocular biometric parameters. Results: A total of 1, 142 children completed the examination, with a mean age of (4.52±0.87) years, including 119 three-year-olds, 487 four-year-olds, 362 five-year-olds, and 174 six-year-olds. Among them, 554 were boys and 588 were girls. The mean SE of the examined children was (1.19±0.81) D, AL was (22.27±0.67) mm, corneal curvature radius was (7.73±0.25) mm, and the anterior chamber depth was (3.33±0.67) mm. The mean SE for three-, four-, five-, and six-year-old children was 1.18, 1.19, 1.21, and 1.13 D, respectively. SE showed correlations with AL, AL/CR, and anterior chamber depth (r=-0.350, -0.542, -0.083; all P<0.05), but no correlation with WTW or corneal curvature radius (P>0.05). Among children with different refractive statuses, SE showed stronger correlations with AL and AL/CR in myopic, hyperopic, and highly hyperopic children compared to emmetropic children, and the correlation tended to be stronger with increasing age. The linear regression equations for SE and AL, AL/CR were SE=10.64-0.42·AL and SE=21.48-7.043·AL/CR, respectively. Conclusions: The refractive status of 3-6-year-old children in Shunyi District, Beijing, showed minimal changes. Myopic children had longer AL, deeper anterior chamber, and slightly steeper cornea.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze and identify the signals of gender differences in adverse events (ADEs) related to Osimertinib and to provide reference for clinical implementation of individualized drug use. METHODS ADE reports of Osimertinib received from FAERS database from the first quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2022 were extracted. Reporting odd ratio (ROR) data analysis strategy was used for mining of signal strength that represents gender differences in ADEs related to Osimertinib. RESULTS The number of Osimertinib ADE reports included in the analysis was 7968 in females and 7570 in males, respectively. According to ROR, men were more likely to develop pneumonia aspiration, lung infection, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary toxicity, dyspnea, ventricular extrasystoles, and pulmonary thrombosis, while women were more likely to develop cardiac failure congestive, stomatitis, diarrhea, muscle spasms, nail disorder, onycholysis, skin disorder, dry skin, and rash. CONCLUSION Gender differences existed in ADE signals related to Osimertinib. The higher risk of ADEs in male patients were lung diseases that seem more serious than those nail toxicities or skin problems occurred in the female patients. In order to ensure the safety of medication, we should be alert to the differences between different genders and take corresponding preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of serious ADEs.

Abstract
As supply chains, logistics, and transportation activities continue to play a significant role in China's economic and social developments, concerns around energy consumption and carbon emissions are becoming increasingly prevalent. In light of sustainable development goals and the trend toward sustainable or green transportation, there is a need to minimize the environmental impact of these activities. To address this need, the government of China has made efforts to promote low-carbon transportation systems. This study aims to assess the development of low-carbon transportation systems in a case study in China using a hybrid approach based on the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC), Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and deep learning features. The proposed method provides an accurate quantitative assessment of low-carbon transportation development levels, identifies the key influencing factors, and sorts out the inner connection among the factors. The CRITIC weight matrix is used to obtain the weight ratio, reducing the subjective color of the DEMATEL method. The weighting results are then corrected using an artificial neural network to make the weighting more accurate and objective. To validate our hybrid method, a numerical example in China is applied, and sensitivity analysis is conducted to show the impact of our main parameters and analyze the efficiency of our hybrid method. Overall, the proposed approach offers a novel method for assessing low-carbon transportation development and identifying key factors in China. The results of this study can be used to inform policy and decision-making to promote sustainable transportation systems in China and beyond.

Abstract
Seed germination, a critical stage of the plant life cycle providing a link between seeds and seedlings, is commonly temperature-dependent. The global average surface temperature is expected to rise, but little is known about the responses of seed germination of woody plants in temperate forests to warming. In the present study, dried seeds of 23 common woody species in temperate secondary forests were incubated at three temperature sequences without cold stratification and after experiencing cold stratification. We calculated five seed germination indices and the comprehensive membership function value that summarized the above indicators. Compared to the control, +2 and +4 °C treatments without cold stratification shortened germination time by 14% and 16% and increased the germination index by 17% and 26%, respectively. For stratified seeds, +4 °C treatment increased germination percentage by 49%, and +4 and +2 °C treatments increased duration of germination and the germination index, and shortened mean germination time by 69%, 458%, 29% and 68%, 110%, 12%, respectively. The germination of Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Larix kaempferi were most sensitive to warming without and with cold stratification, respectively. Seed germination of shrubs was the least sensitive to warming among functional types. These findings indicate warming (especially extreme warming) will enhance the seedling recruitment of temperate woody species, primarily via shortening the germination time, particularly for seeds that have undergone cold stratification. In addition, shrubs might narrow their distribution range.

Abstract
Bedding materials are important for suckling buffalo calves. Treated dung has been used as a bedding material for dairy cows but the lack of an appropriate safety assessment limits its application. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of treated dung (TD) as a bedding material for suckling calves by comparing TD with rice husk (RH) and rice straw (RS) bedding materials. The TD was prepared through high-temperature composting by Bacillus subtilis. Thirty-three newborn suckling buffalo calves (Bubalus bubalis, 40.06 ± 5.79 kg) were randomly divided into 3 bedding material groups (TD, RH, and RS) and bedded with 1 of the 3 bedding materials for 60 d. We compared cost, moisture content, bacterial counts, and microbial composition of the 3 bedding materials, and investigated growth performance, health status, behavior, rumen fermentation, and blood parameters of bedded calves. The results showed that TD contained the fewest gram-negative bacteria and coliforms on d 1 and 30 and the lowest relative abundance of Staphylococcus throughout the experiment. The RH and TD bedding materials had the lowest cost. Calves in the TD and RS groups showed a higher dry matter intake, and final body weight and average daily gain in the TD and RS groups tended to be higher than in the RH group. Calves in the TD and RS groups had a lower disease incidence (diarrhea and fever), fewer antibiotic treatments, and lower fecal score than calves in the RH group. Higher contents of IgG, IgA, and IgM were observed in calves of the TD and RS groups than in calves of the RH group on d 10, indicating higher immune ability in TD and RS groups. Furthermore, TD bedding increased the butyric acid content in the calf's rumen, whereas RS bedding increased the acetate content, which might be attributed to the longer time and higher frequency of eating bedding material in the RS group. Considering all of the above indicators, we concluded that TD is the optimal bedding material for calves based on economics, bacterial count, microbial diversity, growth performance, and health status. Our findings provide a valuable reference for bedding material choice and calf farming.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common in incidence and mortality worldwide. With the development of next generation sequencing (NGS) detection technology, more and more patients with rare anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion mutations were detected. A case of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with rare COX7A2L-ALK (C2:A20) fusion detected by NGS was reported in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and all cases with rare ALK fusion mutations were searched from medical datebase from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2021, to investigate the treatment of rare ALK fusion mutations with ALK inhibitors. The best response of the patient was assessed as partial response (PR) with Ceritinib treatment. By literature review, 22 cases of rare ALK fusion were reported in 19 articles. Combined with this case, 23 cases were analyzed. The objective response rate (ORR) was 82.6% (19/23) and disease control rate (DCR) was 95.7% (22/23) for rare ALK fusions patients treated with ALK inhibitors. Lung adenocarcinoma patients with rare ALK fusion could benefit from ALK inhibitors.

Abstract
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to revolutionary advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases, introducing a novel AI-assisted diagnostic approach for ophthalmology that is rich in imaging diagnostic technologies. However, as clinical applications continue to evolve, AI research in ophthalmology faces challenges such as the lack of standardized datasets and innovative algorithm models, insufficient cross-modal information fusion, and limited clinical interpretability. In response to the growing demand for AI research in ophthalmology, it is essential to establish ophthalmic data standards and sharing platforms, innovate core algorithms, and develop clinical logic interpretable models for the screening, diagnosis, and prediction of eye diseases. Additionally, the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, virtual reality, and surgical robots would advance the development of ophthalmic intelligent medicine into a new phase.

Abstract
Immunotherapy of PD-L1/PD-1 blockage elicited impressive clinical benefits for cancer treatment. However, the relative low response and therapy resistance highlight the need to better understand the molecular regulation of PD-L1 in tumors. Here, we report that PD-L1 is a target of UFMylation. UFMylation of PD-L1 destabilizes PD-L1 by synergizing its ubiquitination. Inhibition of PD-L1 UFMylation via silencing of UFL1 or Ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1), or the defective UFMylation of PD-L1, stabilizes the PD-L1 in multiple human and murine cancer cells, and undermines antitumor immunity in vitro and mice, respectively. Clinically, UFL1 expression was decreased in multiple cancers and lower expression of UFL1 negatively correlated with the response of anti-PD1 therapy in melanoma patients. Moreover, we identified a covalent inhibitor of UFSP2 that promoted the UFMylation activity and contributed to the combination therapy with PD-1 blockade. Our findings identified a previously unrecognized regulator of PD-L1 and highlighted UFMylation as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Biodegradable implantable devices are of growing interest in biosensors and bioelectronics. One of the key unresolved challenges is the availability of power supply. To enable biodegradable energy-storage devices, herein, 2D heterostructured MoO3 -MoS2 nanosheet arrays are synthesized on water-soluble Mo foil, showing a high areal capacitance of 164.38 mF cm-2 (at 0.5 mA cm-2 ). Employing the MoO3 -MoS2 composite as electrodes of a symmetric supercapacitor, an asymmetric Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitor, and an Mg primary battery are demonstrated. Benefiting from the advantages of MoO3 -MoS2 heterostructure, the Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors deliver a high areal capacitance (181.86 mF cm-2 at 0.5 mA cm-2 ) and energy density (30.56 µWh cm-2 ), and the Mg primary batteries provide a stable high output voltage (≈1.6 V) and a long working life in air/liquid environment. All of the used materials exhibit desirable biocompatibility, and these fabricated devices are also fully biodegradable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pembrolizumab previously demonstrated robust antitumor activity and manageable safety in a phase Ib study of patients with heavily pretreated, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive, recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The phase III KEYNOTE-122 study was conducted to further evaluate pembrolizumab versus chemotherapy in patients with platinum-pretreated, recurrent and/or metastatic NPC. Final analysis results are presented. PATIENTS AND METHODS KEYNOTE-122 was an open-label, randomized study conducted at 29 sites, globally. Participants with platinum-pretreated recurrent and/or metastatic NPC were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to pembrolizumab or chemotherapy with capecitabine, gemcitabine, or docetaxel. Randomization was stratified by liver metastasis (present versus absent). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), analyzed in the intention-to-treat population using the stratified log-rank test (superiority threshold, one-sided P = 0.0187). Safety was assessed in the as-treated population. RESULTS Between 5 May 2016 and 28 May 2018, 233 participants were randomly assigned to treatment (pembrolizumab, n = 117; chemotherapy, n = 116); Most participants (86.7%) received study treatment in the second-line or later setting. Median time from randomization to data cut-off (30 November 2020) was 45.1 months (interquartile range, 39.0-48.8 months). Median OS was 17.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 11.7-22.9 months] with pembrolizumab and 15.3 months (95% CI 10.9-18.1 months) with chemotherapy [hazard ratio, 0.90 (95% CI 0.67-1.19; P = 0.2262)]. Grade 3-5 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 12 of 116 participants (10.3%) with pembrolizumab and 49 of 112 participants (43.8%) with chemotherapy. Three treatment-related deaths occurred: 1 participant (0.9%) with pembrolizumab (pneumonitis) and 2 (1.8%) with chemotherapy (pneumonia, intracranial hemorrhage). CONCLUSION Pembrolizumab did not significantly improve OS compared with chemotherapy in participants with platinum-pretreated recurrent and/or metastatic NPC but did have manageable safety and a lower incidence of treatment-related adverse events.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the surgical outcome of robotic thyroidectomy through transoral approach and the bilateral breast-axillary approach. Methods: Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of patients who performed transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT group) or bilateral breast-axillary approach (BABA group) in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery, the 960th Hospital of People's Liberation Army from July 2020 to May 2022. Both groups received lobectomy with lymph node dissection of the central region. A total of 100 cases were included in the study, including 48 cases in the TORT group and 52 cases in the BABA group. The propensity score matching method was used for 1∶1 matching of patients between the 2 groups, with a match tolerance of 0.03. There were 31 patients in each group successfully matched. In the TORT group, there were 5 males and 26 females, aged (33.2±7.9) years (range: 21 to 53 years). While there were 4 males and 27 females in the BABA group, aged (34.6±9.2) years (range: 19 to 58 years). The t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher exact test were used to compare the clinical efficacy between the two groups. Results: All the patients successfully completed robotic thyroid surgery without conversion to open surgery. Compared with BABA group, the TORT group had longer operation time ((211.3±57.2) minutes vs. (126.2±37.8) minutes, t=6.915, P<0.01), shorter drainage tube retention time ((5.4±1.0) days vs. (6.4±1.2) days, t=-3.544, P=0.001), shorter total hospital stay ((6.6±1.2) days vs. (7.4±1.3) days, t=-2.353, P=0.022), and higher cosmetic score (9.46±0.25 vs. 9.27±0.26, t=2.925, P=0.005). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the number of lymph nodes dissection, metastasis in the central compartment, and the incidence of postoperative complications (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Compared with the bilateral breast-axillary approach, the transoral vestibular approach of robotic thyroidectomy is also safe and effective. It shows similar surgical results to the bilateral breast-axillary approach in strictly selected patients, but the postoperative recovery speed is much faster, and the hospital stay is shorter. Transoral robotic thyroidectomy is a more recommended surgical method for patients with high aesthetic demand.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of hemoperfusion (HP) combined with hemodialysis (HD) (HD+HP) on protein energy wasting (PEW) and long-term prognosis in patients on maintenance HD (MHD). Methods: A prospective multicenter cohort study was conducted. Adult MHD patients who completed PEW assessment and underwent regular dialysis between July 2015 and July 2021 at 23 hemodialysis centers in Guizhou Province were selected. Demographic characteristics, physical indicators, laboratory indicators, 3-day diet diary and HP treatment data of the subjects were collected. The patients were divided into different groups according to the presence or absence of HP, the frequency of HP treatment and the type of cartridge, and then relevant indicators were compared. Multivariate logistic regression model and Cox proportional regression model were used to analyze the influence of HP treatment on PEW risk in MHD patients. Meanwhile, Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curve. Results: A total of 4 623 MHD patients (2 789 males and 1 834 females) aged (53.7±15.9) years were included in the study, with a median dialysis age of 64.3 (44.3, 92.3) months. There were 3 429 (74.2%) MHD patients treated with HD+HP, and 1 194 patients (25.8%) were not treated with HP. According to the 2008 diagnostic criteria of the International Society for Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM), the incidence of PEW was 26.0% (1 204/4 623). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=2.48, 95%CI: 1.55-3.95, P<0.001), diabetes (OR=1.75, 95%CI: 1.08-2.83, P=0.024) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (OR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.03, P=0.003) were risk factors for PEW, while treatment with HD+HP (OR=0.51, 95%CI: 0.31-0.87, P=0.012) and elevated triglyceride levels (OR=0.62, 95%CI: 0.48-0.80, P<0.001) were protective factors. Cox hazard ratio regression showed that among different HP treatment frequencies and cartridge types, 2 times/month (HR=0.40, 95%CI: 0.17-0.95, P=0.037), 3 times/month (HR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.23-0.85, P=0.014), 4 times/month (HR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.34-0.85, P=0.008), HA130 (HR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.36-0.89, P=0.014) and HA230 (HR=0.30, 95%CI: 0.15-0.63, P=0.001) had protective effects on the occurrence of PEW in MHD patients. The all-cause mortality rate was 11.3% (521/4 623) at 33 (24, 48) months of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients undergoing 4 times/month HP treatment (χ2=36.78, P<0.001) and using HA230 (χ2=9.46, P=0.002) had the highest survival rate. Conclusion: Treatment with HD+HP is a protective factor for PEW in patients with MHD, and 4 times/month HP treatment or HA230 significantly reduces the risk of PEW and all-cause mortality in patients with MHD.

Abstract
Background Doctors have always been overwhelmed by tumor drug resistance because it is a major challenge in the clinical treatment of tumors. Cellular senescence has a strong relationship with the development of tumor drug resistance. Herein, we aimed to explore new regulatory factors involved in the aging process of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and assess the effect of cellular senescence on CRC drug resistance. Methods Genes associated with cellular senescence for anticipating regulatory factors were first used, and the regulatory molecules of survival significance were then identified based on the results of public database analysis. The effects of E2F translation factor 1 (E2F1) on CRC cell viability, invasion, migration, and cellular senescence processes were assessed through 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT), 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), Transwell, scar repairining, β-galactosidase staining, and cell immunofluorescence assays, respectively. Overexpression or silencing plasmids were used for transfecting HCT116 or OXA-HCT116 to assess the effect of E2F1 on the senescence process and drug resistance in CRC cells. Results On combining the database analysis results with those of our studies, we found that E2F1 was a critical regulator of cellular senescence in CRC. In the in vitro experiments, the E2F1 overexpression significantly stimulated the proliferation, invasion, and migration of CRC cells and even reduced oxaliplatin-induced senescence, further enhancing their resistance to oxaliplatin. Conversely, the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer was repressed after the suppression of E2F1. Furthermore, CRC cells, which were otherwise resistant to oxaliplatin, also showed senescent phenotypes. Conclusions Our results suggest that E2F1 suppresses the aging of CRC cells and tumor cells develop resistance to oxaliplatin through high E2F1 expression. Moreover, E2F1 may act as a possible target for oxaliplatin resistance studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long intergenic non-coding RNA 326 (LINC00326) modulates hepatocarcinogenic lipid metabolism. However, the ability of LINC00326 to modulate the highly aggressive non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is unknown. Here, LINC00326 in NSCLC was investigated, together with its effects on tumor malignancy and the underlying mechanisms of action. METHODS LINC00326 levels in tumor tissues and cell lines were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Proliferation and apoptosis were assessed in cell lines by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), EdU staining assays and flow cytometry, respectively, and tumor growth was measured in mouse models. Possible microRNA targets of LINC00326 were predicted by bioinformatics and verified by RNA pull-down and immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays. Western blotting was used to evaluate the expression of Wnt/β-catenin-associated proteins. RESULTS LINC00326 was downregulated in tumor tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of LINC00326 stimulated NSCLC cell proliferation and suppressed apoptosis in vitro, as well as enhancing xenograft tumor growth. LINC00326 sponged miR-657, and dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 2 (DKK2) was found to be directly targeted by miR-657, with LINC00326 positively regulating its expression through sponging miR-657. The actions of LINC00326 knockdown on proliferation and apoptosis were reversed by stimulation of the miR-657/DKK2 axis. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-657 mitigated DKK2 inhibition on Wnt/β-catenin signaling. CONCLUSIONS LINC00326/miR-657/DKK2 axis signaling blocked tumor-associated functions in NSCLC cells through the targeting Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This suggests that this pathway could be a target for NSCLC treatment.

Abstract
What are the new contents of the guideline since 2010?A.Patients with primary and non-primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are included in these guidelines for the diagnosis and management of cholangiocarcinoma.B.Define "related stricture" as any biliary or hepatic duct stricture accompanied by the signs or symptoms of obstructive cholestasis and/or bacterial cholangitis.C.Patients who have had an inconclusive report from MRI and cholangiopancreatography should be reexamined by high-quality MRI/cholangiopancreatography for diagnostic purposes. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography should be avoided for the diagnosis of PSC.D. Patients with PSC and unknown inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should undergo diagnostic colonoscopic histological sampling, with follow-up examination every five years until IBD is detected.E. PSC patients with IBD should begin colon cancer monitoring at 15 years of age.F. Individual incidence rates should be interpreted with caution when using the new clinical risk tool for PSC for risk stratification.G. All patients with PSC should be considered for clinical trials; however, if ursodeoxycholic acid (13-23 mg/kg/day) is well tolerated and after 12 months of treatment, alkaline phosphatase (γ- Glutamyltransferase in children) and/or symptoms are significantly improved, it can be considered to continue to be used.H. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with cholangiocytology brushing and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis should be performed on all patients suspected of having hilar or distal cholangiocarcinoma.I.Patients with PSC and recurrent cholangitis are now included in the new unified network organ sharing policy for the end-stage liver disease model standard.J. Liver transplantation is recommended after neoadjuvant therapy for patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma with diameter < 3 cm or combined with PSC and no intrahepatic (extrahepatic) metastases.

Abstract
The clinical data of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients from twenty hemodialysis centers in Guizhou province from June to September 2020 were collected by cross-sectional study. The patients were divided into AFD group and non-AFD group according to whether AFD had occurred. LTI was measured by body composition monitor. The results showed that the incidence of AFD in 2 781 MHD patients was 30.0% (835/2 781). Median LTI level was 15.2 (13.2, 17.5) kg/m2. The LTI level in the AFD group was higher than that in the non-AFD group (P < 0.05). According to the tertiles of LTI, low LTI group (LTI ≤ 13.9 kg/m2) had the highest incidence of AFD (35.5%, 334/940), and the high LTI group had the lowest incidence of AFD (26.3%, 241/916), and the difference among the three groups was statistically significant (χ2=20.182,P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low LTI group as the reference, the risk of AFD in moderate LTI group (13.9 kg/m2 < LTI ≤ 16.6 kg/m2) and high LTI group were associated with the 20.0% (OR=0.800, 95% CI 0.650-0.986, P=0.036) and 22.8% (OR=0.772, 95% CI 0.616-0.966, P=0.024) decrease, respectively. These results suggest that low LTI level is independently associated with an increased risk of AFD in MHD patients.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the prevalence and the risk factors of fungal sepsis in 25 neonatal intensive care units (NICU) among preterm infants in China, and to provide a basis for preventive strategies of fungal sepsis. Methods: This was a second-analysis of the data from the "reduction of infection in neonatal intensive care units using the evidence-based practice for improving quality" study. The current status of fungal sepsis of the 24 731 preterm infants with the gestational age of <34+0 weeks, who were admitted to 25 participating NICU within 7 days of birth between May 2015 and April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. These preterm infants were divided into the fungal sepsis group and the without fungal sepsis group according to whether they developed fungal sepsis to analyze the incidences and the microbiology of fungal sepsis. Chi-square test was used to compare the incidences of fungal sepsis in preterm infants with different gestational ages and birth weights and in different NICU. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to study the outcomes of preterm infants with fungal sepsis, which were further compared with those of preterm infants without fungal sepsis. The 144 preterm infants in the fungal sepsis group were matched with 288 preterm infants in the non-fungal sepsis group by propensity score-matched method. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of fungal sepsis. Results: In all, 166 (0.7%) of the 24 731 preterm infants developed fungal sepsis, with the gestational age of (29.7±2.0) weeks and the birth weight of (1 300±293) g. The incidence of fungal sepsis increased with decreasing gestational age and birth weight (both P<0.001). The preterm infants with gestational age of <32 weeks accounted for 87.3% (145/166). The incidence of fungal sepsis was 1.0% (117/11 438) in very preterm infants and 2.0% (28/1 401) in extremely preterm infants, and was 1.3% (103/8 060) in very low birth weight infants and 1.7% (21/1 211) in extremely low birth weight infants, respectively. There was no fungal sepsis in 3 NICU, and the incidences in the other 22 NICU ranged from 0.7% (10/1 397) to 2.9% (21/724), with significant statistical difference (P<0.001). The pathogens were mainly Candida (150/166, 90.4%), including 59 cases of Candida albicans and 91 cases of non-Candida albicans, of which Candida parapsilosis was the most common (41 cases). Fungal sepsis was independently associated with increased risk of moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (adjusted OR 1.52, 95%CI 1.04-2.22, P=0.030) and severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (adjusted OR 2.55, 95%CI 1.12-5.80, P=0.025). Previous broad spectrum antibiotics exposure (adjusted OR=2.50, 95%CI 1.50-4.17, P<0.001), prolonged use of central line (adjusted OR=1.05, 95%CI 1.03-1.08, P<0.001) and previous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) duration (adjusted OR=1.04, 95%CI 1.02-1.06, P<0.001) were all independently associated with increasing risk of fungal sepsis. Conclusions: Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis are the main pathogens of fungal sepsis among preterm infants in Chinese NICU. Preterm infants with fungal sepsis are at increased risk of moderate to severe BPD and severe ROP. Previous broad spectrum antibiotics exposure, prolonged use of central line and prolonged duration of TPN will increase the risk of fungal sepsis. Ongoing initiatives are needed to reduce fungal sepsis based on these risk factors.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the interventional effects of music therapy on pain and anxiety of burn patients in wound dressing change. Methods: The meta-analysis method was adopted. Databases including China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang Database, and VIP database were retrieved with the search terms in Chinese version of ", , /, /", and PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were retrieved with the search terms in English version of "music, burn, dressing change/wound dressing, pain/ache/sore" to obtain the publicly published randomized controlled trials on the application of music therapy for wound dressing change in burn patients from the establishment of each database to May 2021. The outcome indexes included pain score/percentage and anxiety score after dressing change. Rev Man 5.4 and Stata 14.0 statistical software were used to conduct a meta-analysis of eligible studies. Results: A total of 520 burn patients from 7 studies were included, including 260 patients in music therapy group who received music therapy and 260 patients in routine dressing change group who received routine dressing change. The bias risk of all the 7 included studies was uncertain. Compared with those in routine dressing change group, the pain percentages (relative risk=0.06, 95% confidence interval=0.01-0.41, P<0.01) and pain scores after dressing change (standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.91, 95% confidence interval=-1.61--0.22, P<0.05) of patients in music therapy group were significantly lower. Subgroup analysis showed that music type and timing of intervention might be the source of heterogeneity in pain scores after dressing change. The anxiety scores of patients in music therapy group were significantly lower than those in routine dressing change group (SMD=-0.64, 95% confidence interval=-1.09--0.19, P<0.01). There was no publication bias in pain or anxiety scores after dressing change. Conclusions: Music therapy can relieve the pain and anxiety of burn patients during dressing change.

Abstract
The interplay between various symmetries and electronic bands topology is one of the core issues for topological quantum materials. Spontaneous magnetism, which leads to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry, has been proven to be a powerful approach to trigger various exotic topological phases. In this Letter, utilizing the combination of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy, and first-principles calculations, we present the direct evidence on the realization of the long-sought spontaneous ferromagnetism induced topological transition in soft ferromagnetic EuB_{6}. Explicitly, we reveal the topological transition is from Z_{2}=1 topological insulator in paramagnetic state to χ=1 magnetic topological semimetal in low temperature ferromagnetic state. Our results demonstrate that the simple band structure near the Fermi level and rich topological phases make EuB_{6} an ideal platform to study the topological phase physics.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Recent research reported that lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with more in-hospital bleeding in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, the association between lower LDL-C levels and long-term bleeding in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients remains unclear.
Methods
A total of 10724 patients treated with PCI enrolled in ourhospital from January 2013 to December 2013. The primary endpoint was the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2, 3 or 5 bleeding at 5 years. The secondary endpoint was intracranial hemorrhage. Taking the LDL-C value of 1.8 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) or 1.4 mmol/L (55 mg/dL) as cut-off points, patients were grouped to analyse, respectively.
Results
Among 9697 PCI patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy finally enrolled, a total of 411 BARC type 2, 3 or 5 bleedings and 42 intracranial hemorrhage were recorded during a follow-up of 5 years. With LDL-C value of 1.8 mmol/L as cut-off point, multivariate Cox regression showed that lower LDL-C level was not associated with the risk for bleeding [hazard ratio (HR): 1.166, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.879–1.549]. The result was consistent (HR: 1.185; 95% CI: 0.713–1.968) in a 1:4 propensity-score matching cohort (n=1285). For further study, we performed subgroup analysis which showed that lower LDL-C was not associated with the risk for bleeding in ACS (HR: 1.140; 95% CI: 0.846–1.535) or non-ACS patients (HR: 1.284; 95% CI: 0.909–1.813). With LDL-C value of 1.4 mmol/L as cut-off point, Cox regression showed that lower LDL-C level was not associated with the risk for bleeding in total population, ACS or non-ACS patients (P>0.05). The result was consistent in a 1:4 propensity-score matching cohort (n=760) (P>0.05). As for secondary endpoint, lower LDL-C level was not associated with the risk for intracranial hemorrhage whether the LDL-C value is 1.8 or 1.4 mmol/L as the cut-off point (P>0.05).
Conclusions
To the best of our knowledge, we firstly report lower LDL-C level (whether the LDL-C value is 1.8 or 1.4 mmol/L as the cut-off point) was not the independent risk factor of long-term bleeding in PCI population and ACS or non-ACS subgroup populations.

Abstract
Tongcheng (TC) pigs, distinguished by their superior meat quality, are a Chinese indigenous pig breed. Recently, the genetic resources of TC pigs are under tremendous threat due to the introduction of cosmopolitan pig breeds and African swine fever disease. To promote their management and conservation, the present study assessed genetic diversity and population structure of TC pigs using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A total of 26, 999 SNPs were screened from 51, 315 SNPs in 68 TC pigs. The multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) analysis and neighbor-joining tree revealed that all 68 pigs were from a purebred population. The effective population size decreased over time, and it was 96 prior to generation 20. Both linkage disequilibrium (LD) and neutrality test indicated a low selection of TC pigs with average LD value of 0.15 ± 0.23. Genetic diversity results exhibited a minor allele frequency (MAF) of 0.23, observed heterozygosity (HO) of 0.32, expected heterozygosity (He) of 0.31, and nucleotide diversity (Pi) of 0.31. All these parameters indicated a remarkably high genetic diversity of TC pigs. Additionally, 184 runs of homozygosity (ROH) segments were detected from the whole genome of TC pigs with an average ROH length of 23.71Mb, ranging from 11.26Mb to 69.02 Mb. The highest ROH coverage was found on chromosome 1 (10.12%), while the lowest was on chromosome 18 (1.49%). The average inbreeding coefficients based on ROH (FROH) was 0.04%. Fourteen ROH islands containing 240 genes were detected on 9 different autosomes. Some of these 240 genes were overlapped with the genes related to biological processes such as immune function, reproduction, muscular development, and fat deposition, including FFAR2, FFAR4, MAPK8, NPY5R, KISS1, and these genes might be associated with such traits as meat quality and disease resistance in TC pigs. Taken together, population structure and genetic diversity results suggested that the TC pig represented a valuable genetic resource. However, TC pig breed conservation program remains to be further optimized to ensure adequate genetic diversity and avoid inbreeding depression. Our findings provide theoretical basis for formulating management and conservation strategies for TC pigs.

Abstract
The plant IQD gene family is responsive to a variety of stresses. In this study, we studied the structural features and functions of the gene BrIQD35 in Chinese cabbage, a member of the IQD gene family. BrIQD35 was cloned and shown to contain an IQ motif. Transient expression of BrIQD35 indicated that it was localized on the plasma membrane and was significantly upregulated under drought and salt stress in Chinese cabbage. To further identify the function of BrIQD35, it was heterologously overexpressed in Nicotiana benthamiana. Although there was no significant difference between BrIQD35-overexpressed and wild-type (WT) plants under salt stress, WT N. benthamiana showed more wilting than the BrIQD35-overexpressed plants under drought stress. Since the IQ motif has been annotated as a CaM binding site, yeast two-hybrid assays were used to explore the interaction between BrIQD35 and CaM. The results indicated that BrIQD35 interacts weakly with CaMb, but not with CaMa, suggesting that BrIQD35 may function through the Ca2+ -CaMb pathway. The findings reveal a novel gene involved in drought tolerance, which is important for plant breeding and quality improvement for Chinese cabbage.

Abstract
A patient complained of ophthalmology with poor vision in both eyes for more than 30 years and aggravation for more than 2 years. The central anterior lens capsule was found to have a conical protrusion under a slit-lamp microscope after pupil dilation in both eyes. The diagnosis was bilateral cataract and congenital anterior lenticonus. Phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation was performed. The visual acuity in both eyes was significantly better after surgery.

Background
Inflammation plays a crucial role in coronary atherosclerosis progression, and growing evidence has demonstrated that the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio index (FAR) is associated with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the long-term risk of cardiovascular events remains indistinct in patients with different level of FAR and different glycemic metabolism status. This study was to access 5-year clinical outcomes of diabetic and non-diabetic patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with different level of FAR.
Methods
We consecutively enrolled 10,724 patients with CAD hospitalized for PCI and followed up for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) covering all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke and unplanned coronary revascularization. FAR was computed using the following formula: Fibrinogen (mg/dL) / Albumin (g/L). According to the optimal cut-off value of FAR, which was determined by the surv_cutpoint function of the R package survminer via RStudio software (version 2021.09.0), patients were divided into higher level of FAR (FAR-H) and lower level of (FAR-L) subgroups, and were further categorized into for groups as FAR-H with DM and non-DM, and FAR-L with DM and non-DM.
Results
5,298 patients (58.36 ± 10.36 years, 77.7% male) were ultimately enrolled in the present study. A total of 1,099 (20.7%) MACCEs were documented during the 5-year follow-up. The optimal cut-off value of FAR was 0.0783 by the surv_cutpoint function. Compared to ones with FAR-H and DM, patients with FAR-L and non-DM, FAR-H and non-DM, FAR-L and DM had decreased risk of MACCEs [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.64-0.89, p = 0.001; HR: 0.006, 95% CI 0.66-0.93, p = 0.006; HR: 0.81, 95% CI 0.68-0.97, p = 0.019]. Notably, non-diabetic patients with lower level of FAR also had lower all-cause mortality risk than those in the FAR-H/DM group (HR: 0.41, 95% CI 0.27-0.63, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis also indicated the highest risk of MACCEs in patients with FAR-H and DM than others (p for trend = 0.005). In addition, subgroup analysis revealed consistent effects on 5-year MACCE across various subgroups.
Conclusion
Diabetic patients with higher level of FAR had the worse 5-year outcomes compared with patients in other three groups. The level of FAR may help to identify high-risk individuals in this specific population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Emerging studies have suggested a strong link between Crohn's disease (CD) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN), but the underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. This led us to explore the common pathogenic genes for the two diseases by originally applying a bioinformatic method. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CD and IgAN datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the two diseases were identified. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses for the common DEGs were further performed. Then, PPI networks were constructed to identify the hub genes. Afterwards, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to assess the diagnostic value of the hub genes. Finally, the immune infiltrations in the samples were analyzed and the correlation of the hub genes with the immune infiltration was studied. RESULTS 47 common DEGs were identified between CD and IgAN with the threshold of p-value < 0.05 and |log2FC| > 1. The top 5 GO terms and 5 KEGG pathways were displayed, and the top 10 hub genes were selected. The diagnostic value of these hub genes was evaluated by calculating the area under the ROC curves. Among the hub genes, CXCL2 was not only identified as the common hub gene, but also with the highest diagnostic value. Finally, CXCL2 was verified to be crucially correlated with the immune infiltration in the samples of CD and IgAN. CONCLUSIONS Our study identified critical pathogenic genes commonly responsible for the pathogenesis of CD and IgAN, which provided novel biomarkers and promising therapeutic targets for the two diseases. Further experimental and clinical research are needed to verify our results.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore the risk factors associated with septic cardiomyopathy and establish a predictive model of the disease based on left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS). Methods: Data from sepsis patients without a history of cardiac dysfunction who were treated in the Critical Care Department of the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from September, 2019 to January, 2021 were included in the analysis. The LV GLS was measured by echocardiography within 72 hours and the patients were divided into a septic myocardiopathy group (LV GLS>-17%) and a normal cardiac function group (LV GLS≤-17%). Clinical data from two groups of patients were collected for univariate analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the factors that were statistically different were drawn for exploring the diagnostic and cut-off values. The continuous variable was converted to a dichotomous variable according to the cut-off value. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of sepsis cardiomyopathy was performed to screen the risk factors and create a predictive model. The predictive model was evaluated by ROC curve analysis and the Bootstrap method and shown as a nomograph. Results: Patients in the sepsis cardiomyopathy group had higher levels of high sensitive troponin I (Hs-TnI), procalcitonin (PCT), lactate (Lac), N-terminal pro-brain atriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), vasopressor dosing intensity (VDI) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) when compared to those in the normal cardiac function group (all P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Hs-TnI≥0.131 μg/L (OR=6.71, 95%CI:2.67-16.88, P<0.001), PCT≥40 μg/L (OR=3.08, 95%CI:1.10-8.59, P=0.032), Lac≥4.2 mmol/L (OR=2.80, 95%CI:1.02-7.69, P=0.045), NT-proBNP≥3 270 ng/L (OR=2.67, 95%CI:1.06-6.74, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for septic myocardiopathy. The area under the ROC curve of the predictive model based on the four indexes up-mentioned was 0.838 (95%CI:0.766-0.910), and the C-index was 0.822 (95%CI:0.750-0.894) which indicated the utility of the nomogram. The model had a good predictive ability, accuracy and discrimination. Conclusions: Hs-TnI≥0.131 μg/L, PCT≥40 μg/L, Lac≥4.2 mmol/L and NT-proBNP≥3 270 ng/L are independent risk factors for septic myocardiopathy, and the septic cardiomyopathy predictive model constructed based on these factors has a good diagnostic performance.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the interactive effect of hypoparathyroidism (HPTH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all PD patients who were firstly catheterized in the peritoneal dialysis center of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2018 were included. The characteristics of demographics, baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected, and patients were followed up until December 31, 2020. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression analysis were used to explore the associations between the interaction of HPTH+T2DM and peritonitis. Results: A total of 270 PD patients were enrolled in this study, aged (39.9±13.2) years, including 143 males and 24 T2DM patients. These serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) [M(Q1, Q3)] was 268.1 (121.7, 447.0)pg/ml. After a median follow-up of 29.5 (range from 4.0 to 75.0) months, peritonitis occurred in 69 (25.6%) PD patients for the first time. After controlling for confounding factors, the interaction analysis showed that the risk of peritonitis in T2DM patients with HPTH (n=12) was 3.48 times that of non-T2DM patients without HPTH (n=180) (HR=3.48, 95%CI: 1.04-3.87, P=0.034), which was also greater than the sum of the factors alone (HR=1.35, 95%CI: 0.78-2.31 and HR=0.82, 95%CI: 0.20-3.40). The synergy index between HPTH and T2DM was 1.95, the attributable proportion of interaction was 67.6%, and the relative excess risk of interaction was 2.35. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated that the area under the curve of combined diagnosis of HPTH and T2DM was 0.626 (95%CI: 0.550-0.703, P=0.039). Conclusion: The positive interaction between HPTH and T2DM is an independent risk factor for peritonitis in PD patients, both of which can significantly increase the risk of peritonitis.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a common industrial pollutant, and exposure may cause toxic effects in multiple organ systems and carcinogenesis, including lung cancer. However, the toxic effect of Cr(VI) on the respiratory system is poorly understood. In the present study, it was demonstrated that Cr(VI) exposure significantly decreased the viability of human bronchial epithelial cells (16-HBE) in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry demonstrated that Cr(VI) enhanced the transition of 16-HBE cells from G1 to S phase and arrested S-phase progression. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed a significant alteration in the expression of apoptosis-associated genes in Cr(VI)-treated 16-HBE cells. In addition, using two-dimensional fluorescence differential gel electrophoresis with mass spectrometry, 15 differentially expressed proteins (1 upregulated and 14 downregulated) were identified in 16-HBE cells with Cr(VI) treatment compared with controls. Functional classification revealed that these differentially expressed proteins were involved in apoptosis, cytoskeletal structure, and energy metabolism. In conclusion, these data suggested that Cr(VI) caused toxic effects in bronchial epithelial cells and the mechanisms may involve the abnormal expression of apoptosis-associated proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, and energy metabolism-associated proteins.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have made great progress in the field of tumors and have become a promising direction of tumor treatment. With advancements in genomics and bioinformatics technology, it is possible to individually analyze the neoantigens produced by somatic mutations of each patient. Neoantigen load (NAL), a promising biomarker for predicting the efficacy of ICIs, has been extensively studied. This article reviews the research progress on NAL as a biomarker for predicting the anti-tumor effects of ICI. First, we provide a definition of NAL, and summarize the detection methods, and their relationship with tumor mutation burden. In addition, we describe the common genomic sources of NAL. Finally, we review the predictive value of NAL as a tumor prediction marker based on various clinical studies. This review focuses on the predictive ability of NAL’s ICI efficacy against tumors. In melanoma, lung cancer, and gynecological tumors, NAL can be considered a predictor of treatment efficacy. In contrast, the use of NAL for urinary system and liver tumors requires further research. When NAL alone is insufficient to predict efficacy, its combination with other indicators can improve prediction efficiency. Evaluating the response of predictive biomarkers before the treatment initiation is essential for guiding the clinical treatment of cancer. The predictive power of NAL has great potential; however, it needs to be based on more accurate sequencing platforms and technologies.

Abstract
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are flashes of unknown physical origin1. The majority of FRBs have been seen only once, although some are known to generate multiple flashes2,3. Many models invoke magnetically powered neutron stars (magnetars) as the source of the emission4,5. Recently, the discovery6 of another repeater (FRB 20200120E) was announced, in the direction of the nearby galaxy M81, with four potential counterparts at other wavelengths6. Here we report observations that localized the FRB to a globular cluster associated with M81, where it is 2 parsecs away from the optical centre of the cluster. Globular clusters host old stellar populations, challenging FRB models that invoke young magnetars formed in a core-collapse supernova. We propose instead that FRB 20200120E originates from a highly magnetized neutron star formed either through the accretion-induced collapse of a white dwarf, or the merger of compact stars in a binary system7. Compact binaries are efficiently formed inside globular clusters, so a model invoking them could also be responsible for the observed bursts.
