Abstract
The widespread use of microplastics (MPs) has led to an increase in their discharge to wastewater treatment plants. However, the knowledge of impact of MPs on macro-performance and micro-ecology in simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal (SNDPR) systems is limited, hampering the understanding of potential risks posed by MPs. This study firstly comprehensively investigated the performance, species interactions, and community assembly under polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) exposure in SNDPR systems. The results showed under PS (1, 10 mg/L) and PVC (1, 10 mg/L) exposure, total nitrogen removal was reduced by 3.38-10.15 %. PS and PVC restrained the specific rates of nitrite and nitrate reduction (SNIRR, SNRR), as well as the activities of nitrite and nitrate reductase enzymes (NIR, NR). The specific ammonia oxidation rate (SAOR) and activity of ammonia oxidase enzyme (AMO) were reduced only at 10 mg/L PVC. PS and PVC enhanced the size of co-occurrence networks, niche breadth, and number of key species while decreasing microbial cooperation by 5.85-13.48 %. Heterogeneous selection dominated microbial community assembly, and PS and PVC strengthened the contribution of stochastic processes. PICRUSt prediction further revealed some important pathways were blocked by PS and PVC. Together, the reduced TN removal under PS and PVC exposure can be attributed to the inhibition of SAOR, SNRR, and SNIRR, the restrained activities of NIR, NR, and AMO, the changes in species interactions and community assembly mechanisms, and the suppression of some essential metabolic pathways. This paper offers a new perspective on comprehending the effects of MPs on SNDPR systems.

Abstract
Background Surgical excision is considered one of the most effective treatments for secondary osteosarcoma (SO). It remains unclear whether the survival of patients with secondary osteosarcoma (SO) could be associated with their surgical willingness. Materials and methods The statistics of the patients diagnosed with SO between 1975 and 2008 were gathered from the surveillance epidemiology and end results (SEER) database. The patients were divided into three subgroups according to their surgical compliance. The authors used the multivariable Logistic regression analysis and cox regression method to reveal the influence of surgical compliance on prognosis and the risk factors of surgical compliance. Additionally, the authors formulated a nomogram model to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients. The concordance index (C-index) was used to evaluate the accuracy and practicability of the above prediction model. Results Sixty-three (9.2%) of the 688 patients with SO who were recommended for surgical treatment refused to undergo surgery. Lower surgical compliance can be ascribed to an earlier time of diagnosis and refusal of chemotherapy. The lower overall survival (OS) {[hazard ratio (HR)] 1.733, [CI] 1.205-2.494, P value [P]=0.003} of not surgical compliant patients was verified by the multivariate cox regression method, compared with surgical compliant patients. In addition, the discernibility of the nomogram model was proven to be relatively high (C-index=0.748), by which we can calibrate 3-year- and 5-year OS prediction plots to obtain good concordance to the actual situation. Conclusions Surgical compliance was proved to be an independent prognostic factor in the survival of patients with SO.

Abstract
Background Families of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) face tremendous stressors in the process of coping with the disease, which threatens the health of families of children with CHD. Studies have shown that nursing interventions focusing on family stress management can improve parents' ability to cope with illness and promote family health. At present, there is no measuring tool for family stressors of CHD. Methods The items of the scale were generated through qualitative interviews and a literature review. Initial items were evaluated by seven experts to determine content validity. Factor analysis and reliability testing were conducted with a convenience sample of 670 family members. The criterion-related validity of the scale was calculated using scores on the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Results The CHD Children's Family Stressor Scale consisted of six dimensions and 41 items. In the exploratory factor analysis, the cumulative explained variance of the six factors was 61.085%. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the six factors in the EFA were well validated, indicating that the model fits well. The correlation coefficient between CHD Children's Family Stressor Scale and SAS was r = 0.504 (p < 0.001), which indicated that the criterion-related validity of the scale was good. In the reliability test, Cronbach's α coefficients of six sub-scales were 0.774-0.940, and the scale-level Cronbach's α coefficient value was 0.945. Conclusion The study indicates that the CHD Children's Family Stressor Scale is valid and reliable, and it is recommended for use in clinical practice to assess CHD children's family stressors.

Abstract
AIM Atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) is characterized by atrial dysfunction. This study aims to assess the prognostic significance of ACM in patients with noncardioembolic stroke (NCS). METHODS Patients with NCS within seven days of onset were prospectively enrolled between January 2019 and December 2020. ACM was defined as either an N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) >250 pg/ml or a P-terminal force in precordial lead V1 (PTFV1) ≥ 5000µV·ms. A poor functional outcome was determined as a score of 3-6 on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) within a 2-year follow-up period. Logistic regression and Cox regression analyses were employed to examine the relationship between ACM and the long-term prognosis of patients with NCS. RESULTS A total of 1,346 patients were enrolled, of whom 299 (22.2%) patients were diagnosed with ACM. A total of 207(15.4%) patients experienced a poor functional outcome, and 58 (4.3%) patients died. A multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that ACM was significantly associated with a poor functional outcome in NCS patients [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.01; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42-2.87; p<0.001]. Additionally, a multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that an NT-pro BNP >250 pg/ml was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 2.51; 95% CI: 1.42-4.43; p=0.001]. CONCLUSIONS ACM may serve as a novel predictor of a poor long-term functional outcome in patients with NCS. Elevated NT-pro BNP levels (>250 pg/ml) were found to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. These findings warrant further validation in multicenter studies.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we synthesized CDs@ZIF-8 through a one-step, in-situ method by integrating green-emitting carbon dots (CDs) with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The resulting CDs@ZIF-8 was utilized as an ultrasensitive probe for detection, leveraging the inner filter effect. The analysis demonstrated the capability to detect Sudan dyes. Sudan I, for example, could be detected within a concentration range spanning from 0.25 to 70 μM, achieving a remarkable detection limit of 76.56 nM. This established method was effectively employed for detecting Sudan I in paprika. Compared with CDs, CDs@ZIF-8 exhibited a 3.32-fold increase in sensitivity and a wider detection range. This enhanced performance was attributed to the porous ZIF-8, which allowed for the enrichment of targets around CDs and avoided the aggregation of CDs. Additionally, embedding the CDs in ZIF-8 improved their pH stability. Our study provides a new approach for using CDs under limited conditions by leveraging metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the change in the distance between corneal apex and pupil center after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) or implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation and its correlation with surgical-induced astigmatism (SIA). METHODS This study included patients who had undergone SMILE (n = 112) or ICL implantation (n = 110) to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism. The angle kappa was measured using a Scheimpflug imaging device (Pentacam) and represented as Cartesian values between the pupil center and the corneal vertex (X, Y) and chord u ([Formula: see text]orientation), and was compared pre- and post-operative. RESULTS Following SMILE, the magnitude of chord u[Formula: see text]) significantly increased in both eyes (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, OD: P<0.001; OS: P=0.007), while no significant change was observed in the orientation. A significant correlation was found between the J0 component of SIA and the change in the magnitude of chord u for both eyes (OD: R2=0.128, P<0.001; OS: R2=0.033, P=0.004). After ICL implantation, the orientation of the chord u was significantly different in the right eye (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P = 0.008), and the Y-intercept significantly decreased in both eyes (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P<0.001). A significant correlation was found between J0 of SIA and the change in the magnitude of chord u for the right eyes (R2=0.066, P=0.002). A significant correlation was found between J45 of SIA and the change in the magnitude of chord u for the left eyes (R2=0.037, P=0.044). CONCLUSIONS The magnitude of the chord u increased following the SMILE procedure, whereas the Y-intercept significantly decreased after ICL implantation. SIA was related to the change in the magnitude of chord u.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the prognostic impact of computed tomography (CT)-defined ground glass opacity (GGO) in patients with clinical stage I-IIA grade 3 invasive non-mucinous pulmonary adenocarcinoma (INPA). MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study retrospectively enrolled 187 patients diagnosed with stage I-IIA grade 3 INPA. Their clinicopathological, radiological, and genetic information was evaluated systematically, and a 5-year follow-up was conducted to monitor disease recurrence and mortality. Patients were stratified based on the presence of a GGO component, and the Cox proportional hazard model was employed to assess the influence of clinicopathological factors and genetic variables on tumour outcomes. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS Significant differences were observed in both OS and RFS based on the presence of a GGO component. The group with GGO exhibited superior OS (p=0.002) and RFS (p=0.029). Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of a GGO component (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.412, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.177-0.959, p=0.040), clinical T2 stage (HR=2.473, 95% CI: 1.498-4.083, p<0.001), pathological N2 stage (HR=3.049, 95% CI: 1.800-5.167, p<0.001), and mixed high-grade patterns (HR=2.392, 95% CI: 1.418-4.036, p=0.001) were predictors of RFS. CONCLUSION The presence of a GGO component is strongly associated with a favourable prognosis in grade 3 INPA.

Abstract
The plant Andrographis paniculata has a long history of cultivation in Southeast Asia, especially its extensive anti-inflammatory activity, and the famous natural antibiotic andrographolide comes from this plant. In China, A. paniculata, as the main crop, has become a major source of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the clinical treatment of inflammation. To further explore the diverse diterpene lactones with better anti-inflammatory activity from A. paniculata, twenty-one ent-labdanes, including six undescribed compounds (andropanilides D-I), were isolated. Their structures with absolute configurations were thoroughly determined by comprehensive NMR spectroscopic data, HRESIMS analysis and quantum chemical calculations. All isolated compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activities based on the Griess method. Meanwhile, after structure-activity relationships analysis, the anti-inflammatory activity of andropanilide D (1) (IC50 = 2.31 μM) was found to be better than that of the positive control drug (dexamethasone, IC50 = 6.52 μM) and andrographolide (IC50 = 5.89 μM). Further mechanisms of activity indicated that andropanilide D significantly reduced the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β and downregulated the protein expression of COX-2 and iNOS in LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages in a concentration-dependent manner based on Western blot and ELISA experiments. In conclusion, andropanilide D possesses potential medicinal value for the treatment of inflammation and further expands the material basis of the anti-inflammatory effect of A. paniculata.

Abstract
Herein, we designed and constructed a highly selective MIPs for bisphenol A (BPA) named Cu-MIPs@CS based on Cu(II) coordination. The synthesis of Cu-MIPs@CS employed a dummy template strategy and surface imprinting technology, with chitosan (CS) as the substrate linked to imprinted layers via Cu2+ bridging. 4-vinylpyridine acted as the functional monomer, capable of forming a complex with the template ketoprofen, while ethylene glycol dimethacrylate served as the cross linker. Cu-MIPs@CS exhibited a significantly enhanced imprinting factor of 14.78 for BPA, which was approximately 6.6 times higher than that of imprinted materials without Cu2+ (MIPs@CS). Cu-MIPs@CS exhibited a selective factor of 12.74 towards resorcinol, which possessed identical functional groups but a smaller size than BPA, representing an enhancement of selectivity by 12.25-fold compared to MIPs@CS. More importantly, Cu-MIPs@CS exhibited a superior discrimination ability between BPA and its structural analogue, diphenolic acid, with an excellent selective factor of 2.93, highlighting its significance in distinguish the structural analogue of BPA. In contrast, MIPs@CS lack sufficient selectivity to differentiate between them. Through exploration of adsorption mechanism of Cu-MIPs@CS, it was demonstrated that the incorporation of Cu2+ significantly reduced nonspecific adsorption, but also facilitated the creation of more selective imprinted cavities by introducing metal coordination, thereby notably enhancing the selectivity of Cu-MIPs@CS. Finally, the developed Cu-MIPs@CS were applied as the solid phase extraction adsorbent and combined with HPLC-DAD detection to establish an analytical method towards BPA in drinking water samples. The limit of detection of the method was 0.14 μg L-1 and recoveries ranged from 95.6 % to 101 %. This work provided broad prospects for construction of highly selective MIPs and accurate quantification of trace amounts of BPA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Thyroid function is closely related to the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of thyroid hormones for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). METHODS This longitudinal cohort study enrolled 388 consecutive LVNC patients with complete thyroid function profiles and comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. Potential predictors for adverse outcomes were thoroughly evaluated. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 5.22 years, primary outcome (the combination of cardiovascular mortality and heart transplantation) occurred in 98 (25.3%) patients. For secondary outcomes, 75 (19.3%) patients died and 130 (33.5%) patients experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Multivariable Cox analysis identified that free triiodothyronine (FT3) was independently associated with both primary (HR 0.455, 95%CI 0.313-0.664) and secondary (HR 0.547, 95%CI 0.349-0.858; HR 0.663, 95%CI 0.475-0.925) outcomes. Restricted cubic spline analysis illustrated that the risk for adverse outcomes increased significantly with the decline of serum FT3. The LVNC cohort was further stratified according to tertiles of FT3 levels. Individuals with lower FT3 levels in the tertile 1 group suffered from severe cardiac dysfunction and remodeling, resulting in higher incidence of mortality and MACE (Log-rank P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed that lower concentration of FT3 was linked to worse prognosis, particularly for patients with left atrial diameter ≥ 40 mm or left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 35%. Adding FT3 to the pre-existing risk score for MACE in LVNC improved its predictive performance. CONCLUSION Through the long-term investigation on a large LVNC cohort, we demonstrated that low FT3 level was an independent predictor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), as a hepatotoxin, can cause liver swelling, hepatitis, and even liver cancer. In this study, MC-LR aptamer (Apt-3) modified graphene oxide (GO) was designed to enrich MC-LR in white jade snail (Achatina fulica) and pond water, followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis. Results indicated that the Apt-3/PEG/GO nanocomposites were highly specific to MC-LR, and the detection limit of MALDI-MS was 0.50 ng/mL. Moreover, the MC-LR can be released from nanocomposites at 75°C, thus, the reuse of Apt-3/PEG/GO is realized. Real sample analysis indicated that the Apt-3/PEG/GO nanocomposites coupled with MALDI-MS were efficient in detecting trace amounts of MC-LR in real samples. With the merits of being low cost, reusable, and easy to besynthesized, this Apt-3/PEG/GO MALDI-MS is expected to be comprehensively applied by anchoring suitable aptamers for different targets.

Abstract
CLINICAL RELEVANCE The detection of subclinical ectasia is important in preoperative screening for laser-refractive surgery. Previous studies have confirmed the impact of corneal diameter on the diagnostic accuracy of several ectasia indices in tomographically normal eyes. BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the influence of corneal diameter on the diagnostic accuracy of Pentacam tomographic indices in eyes with forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) and thin corneas. METHODS One hundred and one eyes of 101 patients with FFKC (FFKC group), 104 eyes of 104 patients with a corneal thickness <490 μm (thin cornea group), and 200 eyes of 200 normal subjects (normal group) were analysed in the study. Pentacam ectasia indices were compared between the groups. RESULTS The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the standardised coefficients for corneal diameter and overall deviation of normality (BAD-D) were -0.386, -0.552, and -0.552 for the FFKC, thin cornea, and normal groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Comparing for the classifications (normal versus abnormal) of the individual indices demonstrated that for corneal diameters ≤11.9 mm, the rates of abnormal cases were significantly higher in the FFKC group than in the normal group for seven indices and in the thin cornea group than normal group for nine indices. For corneal diameters >11.9 mm, the rates of abnormal cases were higher in the FFKC than normal group for three indices and higher in the thin cornea group than normal group for seven indices. CONCLUSION Belin/Ambrosio Enhanced Ectasia display indices may underestimate the risk of ectasia in patients with large corneas, especially those with FFKC.

Abstract
Although phosphorene quantum dots (PQDs) have gained significant attention in optoelectronics and physics due to their unique optical responses, the low-frequency electromagnetic properties of PQDs and the effects of temperature still remain largely unexplored. Herein, we investigate the temperature-dependent terahertz (THz) response of PQDs by using THz time-domain spectroscopy. Effective THz conductivity of the PQD sample is extracted based on THz measurements to analyze the charge carrier behavior. It is shown that the carriers in the PQDs can be approximated as a weakly confined Drude gas of classical and noninteracting charge particles, which are described by the modified Drude-Smith formula. Then, we also obtain the temperature dependences of the effective characteristic parameters for the charge carriers. As the temperature increases, the plasma frequency linearly enhances whereas both of the carrier diffusion time and the momentum scattering time decrease, which are akin to conventional semiconductors to a large extent. In addition, the confinement factor is closed to 1 and nearly insensitive to temperature. These results are helpful to gain an in-depth understanding of the low-frequency electromagnetic response of charge carriers in PQDs and to explore new applications in photonics and optoelectronics.

Abstract
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a significant environmental concern due to its adverse effects and ecological risks. SMX elimination in aquatic environments via photocatalysis presents a viable solution, given its high oxidation potential. However, such a solution remains controversial, primarily due to a lack of selectivity. Here we introduce a molecularly imprinted TiO2@Fe2O3@g-C3N4 (MFTC) photocatalyst designed for the selective degradation of SMX. To assess MFTC's selectivity, we applied it to degrade synthetic wastewater containing SMX alongside interfering species sulfadiazine (SDZ), ibuprofen (IBU), and bisphenol A (BPA). The results demonstrated a selective degradation efficiency rate of 96.8%, nearly twice that of competing pollutants. The molecularly imprinted sites within the catalyst played a crucial role by selectively capturing SMX and enhancing its adsorption, thereby improving catalytic efficiency. The degradation process involved •OH and •O2- free radicals, with a newly proposed double Z-scheme mechanism and potential pathway for SMX degradation by the MFTC photocatalytic system. This study enriches the application of photocatalysis using molecularly imprinted nanocomposite materials for treating complex pollutant mixtures in water.

Abstract
This study explored the effect of childhood subjective socioeconomic status on mental health and the chain-mediating mechanism of perceived discrimination and status anxiety. A random survey was conducted via an online survey platform with 999 college students in east China. Participants completed the Childhood Subjective Socioeconomic Status Scale, General Health Questionnaire, Status Anxiety Scale, and the Perceived Personal Discrimination Scale. The sample comprised 323 men and 676 women. The mean age was 20.49±2.70 years. Mediation analysis using Model 6 and 5,000 bootstrap samples was employed to explore the mediating role of perceived discrimination and status anxiety in the relationship between childhood subjective socioeconomic status and mental health. Mental health was significantly positively correlated with childhood socioeconomic status, and significantly negatively correlated with perceived discrimination and status anxiety. Perceived discrimination and status anxiety played a partial chain mediating role between childhood socioeconomic status and mental health. The mediation model accounted for 31% of the variance in mental health. Moreover, the results indicated that the significant mediating effect of perceived discrimination between childhood subjective SES and mental health had a value of 0.029 and a 95% confidence interval of [0.019, 0.041]. Furthermore, the significant mediating effect of status anxiety between childhood subjective SES and mental health had a value of 0.010 and a 95% confidence interval of [0.006, 0.014]. The results provide an explanation of how childhood subjective socioeconomic status influences their mental health. Interventions to address perceived discrimination and status anxiety can improve the mental health status of children who experience childhood adversity. The study's findings contribute to understanding mental health in childhood and inform potential interventions to improve the well-being of individuals who have experienced childhood adversity. The limitations of the study were self-report scales and potential biases in the sample population. Addressing these limitations will enhance the credibility of the research and pave the way for future studies.

Abstract
Exploiting photocatalysts with high interfacial charge separation efficiency remains a huge challenge for converting solar energy into chemical energy. Herein, a novel 0D/2D heterojunction is successfully constructed by using bimetallic Mo2Ti2C3 MXene Quantum Dots (Mo2Ti2C3 QDs) firmly immobilized on the surface of g-C3N4 nanosheet via an electrostatic self-assembly strategy. The Mo2Ti2C3 QDs/g-C3N4 exhibits an efficient and stable photocatalytic hydrogen production performance up to 2809 µmol g-1h-1, which is 7.96 times higher than pure g-C3N4 nanosheet, and prominently exceeding many reported photocatalysts. Besides, a prominent apparent quantum yield achieves 3.8% at 420 nm. The significant performance improvement derives from the giant interfacial electric field that formed between large interface contact areas, ensuring greatly efficient separation and transfer of the photogenerated carriers. Furthermore, the 0D/2D heterojunction possesses high-quality interfacial contact, which reduces the interfacial recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes, causing the quick electron transfer from the g-C3N4 to electron acceptor Mo2Ti2C3 QDs, thus enhancing the charge utilization. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculation comprehensively demonstrate that g-C3N4 modified by Mo2Ti2C3 QDs can modulate the electronic structure and prompt the establishment of the interfacial electric field, which consequently leads to efficient photocatalytic activity. This study adequately illustrates that constructing heterojunction interfacial electric fields based on MXene quantum dots is a prospective pathway to engineering high-performance photocatalytic platforms for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Plasmalogens (Pls) are considered to play a potential role in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, an Alzheimer's disease (AD) model of zebrafish induced by AlCl3 was established to investigate whether the marine-derived Pls could alleviate cognitive impairments of AD zebrafish. Behavioral tests were carried out to assess the athletic ability. The transcriptional profiles of zebrafish in the control, AD model and AD_PLS group were compared and analyzed to determine the potential mechanisms of dietary Pls on AD. The study found that Pls could reverse athletic impairment in the AD zebrafish model, and the expression levels of genes related to ferroptosis, synaptic dysfunction and apoptosis were significantly altered between experimental groups. Further analysis showed that all of these genes were associated with oxidative stress (OS). These data suggest that healthy protective role of marine-derived Pls on AD zebrafish may result from inhibition of ferroptosis and neuronal apoptosis, restoring synaptic neurotransmission release, and reducing neuroinflammation. Among them, Oxidative stress is acted as the center to connect different regulation pathways. This study provides evidence to support the essential roles of OS in pathogenesis of AD, and the application of Pls in relieving AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) often suffer from multi-organ dysfunction and have a high mortality rate. Therefore, finding a simple but effective clinical indicator to predict the prognosis of patients is essential to improve their survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (B/A) and short-term mortality among patients from the SICU. METHODS All eligible adult patients admitted to the SICU from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database were recruited for this study. Participants were divided into a death group (n = 638) and a survival group (n = 2,048) based on the 90-day prognosis, and then grouped by B/A quartiles. We used restricted cubic splines (RCS) to visually analyze the correlation of B/A with 30- and 90-day risk of death. Cumulative survival rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves according to B/A quartiles and evaluated using the log-rank test. Cox proportional risk models were developed and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore whether B/A was independently associated with short-term outcomes in SICU patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were analyzed to ascertain the value of B/A for prognosticating 90-day outcome. RESULTS A total of 2686 participants were included in the final study, and their 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality rates were 17.61% and 23.75%, respectively. The differences in 30-day and 90-day mortality rates were statistically significant among the four groups of patients (all p < 0.001). RCS curves showed that B/A was linearly associated with the risk of 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality in SICU patients (χ2 = 0.960, p = 0.811; χ2 = 1.940, p = 0.584). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 90-day cumulative survival rate gradually decreased as B/A increased, with patients in the highest quartile of B/A having the lowest survival rate (p < 0.001). Cox regression indicated that elevated B/A (> 9.69) was an independent risk factor for 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality in SICU patients. The analysis of ROC curves demonstrated that B/A exhibited a significant predictive ability for 90-day mortality, with an optimal threshold of 6.587, a sensitivity of 56.9%, and a specificity of 64.8%. CONCLUSIONS Elevated B/A (> 9.69) on admission was an independent risk factor for short-term mortality in SICU patients, and clinicians should pay more attention to this group of patients and intervene clinically at an early stage to reduce mortality.

Abstract
Water scarcity has become a critical global threat, particularly in arid and underdeveloped regions. However, certain insects and plants have evolved the capability to obtain water from fog under these arid conditions. Bionic fog collection, characterized by passive harvesting, minimal energy requirements, and low maintenance costs, has proven to be an efficient method for water harvesting, offering a sustainable water source. This review introduces two superwettable surfaces, namely, superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces, detailing their preparation methods and applications in fog collection. The fog collection mechanisms of three typical natural organisms, Namib Desert beetles, spider silk, and cactus, along with their bionic surfaces for fog collection devices, are discussed. Additionally, other biological surfaces exhibiting fog transport properties are presented. The main challenges regarding the fabrication and application of bionic fog collection are summarized. Furthermore, we firmly believe that environmentally friendly, low-cost, and stable fog collection materials or devices hold promising prospects for future applications.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to better understand the stressors in families of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) to assist with formulating targeted stress management plans for such families. A descriptive qualitative study was undertaken at a tertiary referral hospital in China. Following purposeful sampling, interviews were conducted with 21 parents of children with CHD regarding the stressors in their families. Following content analysis, 11 themes were generated from the data and categorised into six main domains: the initial stressor and associated hardships, normative transitions, prior strains, the consequences of family efforts to cope, intrafamily and social ambiguity, and sociocultural values. The 11 themes include confusion regarding the disease, hardships encountered during treatment, the heavy financial burden, the unusual growth track of the child due to the disease, normal events becoming abnormal for the family, impaired family functioning, family vulnerability, family resilience, family boundary ambiguity induced by role alteration, a lack of knowledge about community support and family stigma. Various and complex stressors exist for families of children with CHD. Medical personnel should fully evaluate the stressors and take targeted measures before implementing family stress management practices. It is also necessary to focus on the posttraumatic growth of families of children with CHD and strengthen resilience. Moreover, family boundary ambiguity and a lack of knowledge about community support should not be ignored, and further research is needed to explore these variables. Most importantly, policymakers and healthcare providers should adopt a range of strategies to address the stigma of being in a family of a child with CHD.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the relationship between corneal tomographic or biomechanical parameters and risk of keratoconus in very asymmetric ectasia (VAE). Methods This retrospective case-control single-centre study included patients with VAE and normal controls. The VAE group had clinical ectasia in one eye and normal topography (VAE-NT) in the fellow eye; VAE-NT eyes were selected for analysis. The control group was selected from corneal refractive surgery candidates; the right eye was enrolled. Scheimpflug-based corneal tomography (Pentacam) and corneal biomechanical assessment (Corvis ST) were performed. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were performed using Cox proportional hazards models to evaluate keratoconus-associated risk factors. A two-piecewise linear regression model was applied to examine the threshold effect of selected vital paragmeters on the risk of keratoconus according to a smoothing plot. Results Threshold effect between tomographic integration and risk of keratoconus was observed. Discrepancy between the central corneal thickness and thinnest corneal thickness (discrepancy CCT vs TCT) greater than 5 μm, discrepancy between the apex corneal thickness and thinnest corneal thickness (discrepancy ACT vs TCT) greater than 3 μm, vector distance between CCT and TCT (distance CCT vs TCT) greater than 0.65 mm indicated a significant increased risk of keratoconus. Risk of keratoconus decreased when distance CCT vs TCT was less than 0.65 mm. Conclusion Discrepancy CCT vs TCT, discrepancy ACT vs TCT, and distance CCT vs TCT can be used as indicators for risk assessment of early keratoconus.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the preferred protocol of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in the treatment of progressive keratoconus. METHODS Relevant studies were retrieved in PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Maximum keratometry value (Kmax), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), and endothelial cell density (ECD) were evaluated in network meta-analysis. RESULTS Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Low-level evidence suggested that aCXL with 30mW/cm2 for 3 min (aCXL-3) might be the best protocol for reducing BSCVA (65.22%) but worst protocol for reducing MRSE (51.53%). aCXL with 18mW/cm2 for 5 min (aCXL-5) might be the best protocol for reducing Kmax (39.58%) and MRSE (77.85%) but might be the worst for preserving ECD (50.98%). aCXL with 9mW/cm2 for 10 min (aCXL-10) might be the best protocol for preserving ECD (31.53%). CONCLUSION Overall, three protocols of aCXL are comparable in therapeutic efficacy and safety for treating progressive keratoconus. Despite no direct data comparing the efficacy of each technique according to different patients' profiles, it is reasonable to state that aCXL-5 may be the best for patients at early-stage to reduce Kmax and MRSE, aCXL-3 may be the best for patients at mid-stage to improve BSCVA, and aCXL-10 may be the best for patients at late-stage to preserve DEC.

Abstract
Photocatalytic splitting of water for hydrogen generation is a green and renewable solution for converting solar energy to chemical energy; thus, the development of high-performance and stable photocatalytic materials has emerged as a research hotspot recently. Herein, a heterostructure composite photocatalyst of octahedral CoO uniformly modified with novel nitrogen-doped MXene quantum dots (N-MQDs) is successfully designed using a typical solvothermal approach. The optimum photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency of the prepared N-MQDs@CoO heterojunction composite is 82.54 μmol g-1 h-1 with visible light, which is 16.57 times higher compared to the pure CoO. A series of photoelectrochemical tests were further performed to elucidate the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution mechanism. The remarkable improvement of activity is primarily attributed to the synergistic interaction between the closely spaced interface contacts and energy level matching among high conductivity Ti3C2 MXene quantum dots with CoO octahedra, dramatically hastening the segregation and transfer of photo-generated carriers. This study provides new ideas for the construction of MXene quantum dot-based co-photocatalysts with highly efficient photocatalytic performance and stability toward solar energy conversion applications.

BACKGROUND Perilipin 5 (Plin5) is well known to maintain the stability of intracellular lipid droplets (LDs) and regulate fatty acid metabolism in oxidative tissues. It is highly expressed in the heart, but its roles have yet to be fully elucidated. METHODS Plin5-deficient mice and Plin5/leptin-double-knockout mice were produced, and their histological structures and myocardial functions were observed. Critical proteins related to fatty acid and glucose metabolism were measured in heart tissues, neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes and Plin5-overexpressing H9C2 cells. 2-NBDG was employed to detect glucose uptake. The mitochondria and lipid contents were observed by MitoTracker and BODIPY 493/503 staining in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes. RESULTS Plin5 deficiency impaired glucose utilization and caused insulin resistance in mouse cardiomyocytes, particularly in the presence of fatty acids (FAs). Additionally, Plin5 deficiency increased the NADH content and elevated the expression of lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA) in cardiomyocytes, which resulted in increased lactate production. Moreover, when fatty acid oxidation was blocked by etomoxir or LDHA was inhibited by GSK2837808A in Plin5-deficient cardiomyocytes, glucose utilization was improved. Leptin-deficient mice exhibited myocardial hypertrophy, insulin resistance and altered substrate utilization, and Plin5 deficiency exacerbated myocardial hypertrophy in leptin-deficient mice. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that Plin5 plays a critical role in coordinating fatty acid and glucose oxidation in cardiomyocytes, providing a potential target for the treatment of metabolic disorders in the heart.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the long-term clinical outcomes and changes in crystalline lens transparency after accelerated (45 mW/cm2) transepithelial corneal cross-linking (ATE-CXL) using the Pentacam imaging system in patients with progressive keratoconus. METHODS The study prospectively included 44 keratoconus eyes of 40 patients (mean age: 24.39 ± 5.61 years) who underwent ATE-CXL. The examinations, including assessment of uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, corneal topography, and corneal endothelial cell density count, were conducted preoperatively and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years postoperatively. Measurement of crystalline lens density using Pentacam images was also performed pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS All surgeries were uneventful with no postoperative complications. All keratometry values and corneal thickness remained stable during the 5-year follow-up period (all p > 0.05). There were no significant differences in corneal endothelial cell density count, visual acuity, and anterior average lens density in the 0.5-, 1.0-, and 1.5-mm depth zones during the 5-year follow-up period compared with the preoperative values (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that ATE-CXL at 45 mW/cm2 is safe and effective for the treatment of progressive keratoconus in terms of both crystalline lens density and endothelial cell density.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a common chronic disease that affects many people worldwide. Only a few reports related to the exploration of relevant indicators of the prethrombotic state in patients with primary hypertension (PH) in clinical settings were available. AIM To detect prethrombotic state-related indicators in patients with PH and analyze their differences in different patient populations to provide a laboratory basis for the clinical prevention and control of hypertensive thrombotic diseases. METHODS The general data of patients with PH who attended the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi Medical College, from January 2022 to December 2022 were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into three groups of 40 patients each according to the Grade of PH: Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 hypertension experimental group. The baseline data of 40 volunteers, who underwent physical examination in our hospital but were not diagnosed with PH during the same period, were included in the control group. The relevant indicators of prethrombotic state of the participants were compared, and mainly included inflammation-related indicators, hemorheology-related indicators, and coagulation function related indicators. The relationship between the aforementioned indicators and the progression of PH was analyzed. RESULTS No significant differences were observed in age, sex, diabetes mellitus, smoking history, drinking history, body mass index, New York Heart Association functional classification, or the course of hypertension among the four groups (P > 0.05). The expressions of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), thrombomodulin (TM), hematocrit (Hct), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), P-selectin on platelet surface (CD62P), and fibrinogen (FIB) in the control group were < Grade 1 hypertension group < Grade 2 hypertension group < Grade 3 hypertension group, and the expressions of platelet (PLT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin (PT), and plasma thrombin time (TT) in the control group was > Grade 1 hypertension group > Grade 2 hypertension group > Grade 3 hypertension group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that the expression of hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, PLT, APTT, PT, TT, and FIB in the included participants was related to the progression of PH. Among these, high expression of hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, APTT, PT, and TT, and low expression of PLT and FIB were risk factors for PH (OR > 1, P < 0.05). The results of the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of hs-CRP, TM, ESR, CD62P, APTT, PT, TT, and FIB for the prediction of PH were > 0.80, and the prediction value was ideal. Linear correlation analysis with bivariate Spearman showed that hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, APTT, PT, and TT were positively correlated with each other (r > 0, P < 0.05); PLT and FIB were negatively correlated with hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, APTT, PT, and TT (r < 0, P < 0.05); and PLT and FIB were positively correlated (r > 0, P < 0.05). Linear correlation analysis using bivariate Spearman showed that hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, and FIB were positively correlated with each other (r > 0, P < 0.05), whereas PLT, APTT, PT, and TT were negatively correlated with hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, and FIB (r < 0, P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between PLT, APTT, PT, and TT (r > 0, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The relevant indicators of the prethrombotic state in patients with PH, such as hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, PLT, APTT, PT, TT, and FIB, showed differences. High expression of hs-CRP, TM, Hct, ESR, CD62P, and FIB, and low expression of PLT, APTT, PT, and TT are the keys to the occurrence, progression, and thrombotic state of PH. Based on the above serum indicators' expression in patients, targeted interventions can be administered to patients with abnormal expression levels to control the progression of their disease and reduce the risk of developing a prethrombotic state.

Abstract
Preparation methods have been found to affect the physical and chemical properties of rice. This study prepared Guichao rice flour with wet, dry, semi-dry, and jet milling techniques. Differences in the particle size distribution of rice flour were investigated in order to assess their impact on pasting, thermal, gel, starch digestibility, and crystalline structure using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) across in vitro digestibility experiments. The results showed that semi-dry-milled rice flour (SRF) and wet-milled rice flour (WRF) were similar in damaged starch content, crystalline structure, and gelatinization temperature. However, compared with dry-milled rice flour (DRF) and jet-milled rice flour (JRF), SRF had less damaged starch, a higher absorption enthalpy value, and a higher gelatinization temperature. For starch digestibility, the extended glycemic index (eGI) values of WRF (85.30) and SRF (89.97) were significantly lower than those of DRF (94.47) and JRF (99.27). In general, the physicochemical properties and starch digestibility of WRF and SRF were better than those of DRF and JRF. SRF retained the advantages of WRF while avoiding the high energy consumption, high water consumption, and microbial contamination disadvantages of WRF and was able to produce better rice flour-associated products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the prolonged median disease-free survival (DFS) by adjuvant targeted therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, the relationship between the treatment duration and the survival benefits in patients remains unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase II trial, eligible patients aged 18-75 years with EGFR-mutant, stage II-IIIA lung adenocarcinoma and who had not received adjuvant chemotherapy after complete tumor resection were enrolled from eight centers in China. Patients were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to receive either 1-year or 2-year icotinib (125 mg thrice daily). The primary endpoint was DFS assessed by investigator. The secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and safety. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01929200). RESULTS Between September 2013 and October 2018, 109 patients were enrolled (1-year group, n = 55; 2-year group, n = 54). Median DFS was 48.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 33.1-70.1 months] in the 2-year group and 32.9 months (95% CI 26.6-44.8 months) in the 1-year group [hazard ratio (HR) 0.51; 95% CI 0.28-0.94; P = 0.0290]. Median OS for patients was 75.8 months [95% CI 64.4 months-not evaluable (NE)] in the 2-year group and NE (95% CI 66.3 months-NE) in the 1-year group (HR 0.34; 95% CI 0.13-0.95; P = 0.0317). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were observed in 41 of 55 (75%) patients in the 1-year group and in 36 of 54 (67%) patients in the 2-year group. Grade 3-4 TRAEs occurred in 4 of 55 (7%) patients in the 1-year group and in 3 of 54 (6%) patients in the 2-year group. No treatment-related deaths or interstitial lung disease was reported. CONCLUSIONS Two-year adjuvant icotinib was shown to significantly improve DFS and provide an OS benefit in EGFR-mutant, stage II-IIIA lung adenocarcinoma patients compared with 1-year treatment in this exploratory phase II study.

Abstract
In this manuscript, a novel strategy to design and prepare magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) is proposed. Based on the synthesized MMIPs, a fluorescent sensor for low-cost and fast detection of Sudan I was established. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity of MMIPs decreased linearly with the concentration of Sudan I in the range of 1-40 μM, and the detection limit was 0.38 μM. The present fluorescent sensor demonstrated satisfactory performance for the quantification of Sudan I in chili powder, covering a concentration range of 49.66-993.12 mg kg-1. The LOD was determined to be 17.38 mg kg-1. Furthermore, the average percentage recovery for both intraday and inter-day precision studies ranged from 98% to 104% and 99% to 105%, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the prepared MMIPs exhibited broad potential for low-cost and fast detection in food safety analysis.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
KNbO3 (KN) with a perovskite structure is an outstanding representative of lead-free piezoelectric materials, and its mesocrystals have broad application prospects in the fields of catalysis, energy storage, and conversion. However, the formation conditions of KN mesocrystals reported so far are difficult owing to their high aspect ratio and excellent preferred orientation. In this study, the solvothermal process was used successfully to prepare the flake-like potassium salt of Lindquist hexaniobate (K8Nb6O19·10H2O). Subsequently, the precursor niobate was calcined to prepare two-dimensional (2D) plate-like KN mesocrystals. The formation mechanism of the plate-like KN mesocrystals is further revealed from a paired topochemical mesocrystal conversion of K8Nb6O19·10H2O niobate. Finally, the microscopic piezoelectric and photocatalytic responses of the obtained plate-like KN mesocrystals were investigated. The high piezoelectric coefficient of plate-like KN mesocrystals implies that excellent charge separation promotes the photocatalytic performance of rhodamine B (RhB). This study provides a strategy for the efficient application of 2D oriented materials in the field of piezoelectricity and photocatalysis.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare bilateral differences in corneal biomechanics between keratoconus and normal eyes. Methods: In this case-control study, 346 eyes of 173 patients (aged 22.1 ± 6.1 years) with keratoconus (KC group) and 378 eyes of 189 patients (aged 26.7 ± 5.6 years) with ametropia (control group) were enrolled. Corneal tomography and biomechanical properties were examined using Pentacam HR and Corvis ST, respectively. The corneal biomechanical parameters were compared between eyes with forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) and normal eyes. Bilateral differences in corneal biomechanical parameters were compared between the KC and control groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess discriminative efficacies. Results: The areas under the ROC curves (AUROCs) of stiffness parameter at the first applanation (SP-A1) and Tomographic and Biomechanical Index (TBI) for identifying FFKC were 0.641 and 0.694, respectively. The bilateral differential values of major corneal biomechanical parameters were significantly increased in the KC group (all p < 0.05), except for the Corvis Biomechanical Index (CBI). The AUROCs of the bilateral differential values of the deformation amplitude ratio at 2 mm (ΔDAR2), Integrated Radius (ΔIR), SP-A1 (ΔSP-A1), and the maximum inverse concave radius (ΔMax ICR) for discriminating keratoconus were 0.889, 0.884, 0.826, and 0.805, respectively. The Logistic Regression Model-1 (comprising of ΔDAR2, ΔIR, and age) and the Logistic Regression Model-2 (comprising of ΔIR, ΔARTh, ΔBAD-D, and age) had AUROCs of 0.922 and 0.998, respectively, for discriminating keratoconus. Conclusion: The bilateral asymmetry of corneal biomechanics was significantly increased in keratoconus compared with normal eyes, which may be helpful for the early detection of keratoconus.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION TabZIP60 is found to interact with TaCDPK30 and act as a positive regulator of ABA synthesis-mediated salt tolerance in wheat. Wheat basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TabZIP60) was previously found to act as a positive regulator of salt resistance. However, its molecular mechanism in response to salt stress in wheat is still unclear. In this study, TabZIP60 was found to interact with wheat calcium-dependent protein kinase (TaCDPK30), which belonged to group III of CDPK family, and was induced by salt, polyethylene glycol, and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments. This mutation of serine 110 in TabZIP60 resulted in no interaction with TaCDPK30. Moreover, TaCDPK30 was involved in interactions with wheat protein phosphatase 2C clade A (TaPP2CA116/TaPP2CA121). TabZIP60-overexpressing wheat plants showed increased salt tolerance, as exhibited by better growth status, higher soluble sugar, and lower malonaldehyde contents of transgenic plants than wild-type wheat cv. Kenong 199 under salt stress. Moreover, transgenic lines showed high ABA content by upregulating ABA synthesis-related gene expression levels. TabZIP60 protein could bind and interact with the promoter of the wheat nine-cis epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (TaNCED2) gene. Furthermore, TabZIP60 upregulated several stress response gene expression levels, which could also increase the plant's ability to resist salt stress. Thus, these results suggest that TabZIP60 could function as a regulator of ABA synthesis-mediated salt tolerance through interacting with TaCDPK30 in wheat.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between the urinary arsenic level and serum total testosterone in Chinese men aged 18 to 79 years. Methods: A total of 5 048 male participants aged 18 to 79 years were recruited from the China National Human Biomonitoring (CNHBM) from 2017 to 2018. Questionnaires and physical examinations were used to collect information on demographic characteristics, lifestyle, food intake frequency and health status. Venous blood and urine samples were collected to detect the level of serum total testosterone, urine arsenic and urine creatinine. Participants were divided into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on the tertiles of creatinine-adjusted urine arsenic concentration. Weighted multiple linear regression was fitted to analyze the association of urinary arsenic with serum total testosterone. Results: The weighted average age of 5 048 Chinese men was (46.72±0.40) years. Geometric mean concentration (95%CI) of urinary arsenic, creatinine-adjusted urine arsenic and serum testosterone was 22.46 (20.08, 25.12) μg/L, 19.36 (16.92, 22.15) μg/L and 18.13 (17.42, 18.85) nmol/L, respectively. After controlling for covariates, compared with the low-level urinary arsenic group, the testosterone level of the participants in the middle-level group and the high-level group decreased gradually. The percentile ratio (95%CI) was -5.17% (-13.14%, 3.54%) and -10.33% (-15.68%, -4.63). The subgroup analysis showed that the association between the urinary arsenic level and testosterone level was more obvious in the group with BMI<24 kg/m2 group (Pinteraction<0.05). Conclusion: There is a negative association between the urinary arsenic level and serum total testosterone in Chinese men aged 18-79 years.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the characteristics and correlations of vaginal flora in women with cervical lesions. Methods: A total of 132 women, including 41 women diagnosed with normal cervical (NC), 39 patients with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 1), 37 patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2/3) and 15 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), who came from the gynecological clinic of Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University during January 2018 to June 2018, were enrolled in this study according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria strictly. The vaginal flora was detected by 16S rDNA sequencing technology. Co-occurrence network analysis was used to investigate the Spearman correlations between different genera of bacteria. Results: The dominant bacteria in NC, CIN 1 and CIN 2/3 groups were Lactobacillus [constituent ratios 79.4% (1 869 598/2 354 098), 63.6% (1 536 466/2 415 100) and 58.3% (1 342 896/2 301 536), respectively], while Peptophilus [20.4% (246 072/1 205 154) ] was the dominant bacteria in SCC group. With the aggravation of cervical lesions, the diversity of vaginal flora gradually increased (Shannon index: F=6.39, P=0.001; Simpson index: F=3.95, P=0.012). During the cervical lesion progress, the ratio of Lactobacillus gradually decreased, the ratio of other anaerobes such as Peptophilus, Sneathia, Prevotella and etc. gradually increased, and the differential bacteria (LDA score >3.5) gradually evolved from Lactobacillus to other anaerobes. The top 10 relative abundance bacteria, spearman correlation coefficient>0.4 and P<0.05 were selected. Co-occurrence network analysis showed that Prevotella, Peptophilus, Porphyrinomonas, Anaerococcus, Sneathia, Atopobium, Gardnerella and Streptococcus were positively correlated in different stages of cervical lesions, while Lactobacillus was negatively correlated with the above anaerobes. It was found that the relationship between vaginal floras in CIN 1 group was the most complex and only Peptophilus was significantly negatively correlated with Lactobacillus in SCC group. Conclusions: The increased diversity and changed correlations between vaginal floras are closely related to cervical lesions. Peptophilus is of great significance in the diagnosis, prediction and early warning of cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the mediating effect of dispositional coping on the relationship between cognitive appraisal (which includes areas of threat, challenge, harm/loss, and benign/irrelevant appraisals) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) among patient-caregiver dyads undergoing hemodialysis. In total, 237 dyads of patients undergoing hemodialysis and their family caregivers were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Tianjin, China. Dyadic data were analyzed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model (APIMeM). The final APIMeM model examining dyadic effects of challenge appraisal and dispositional coping on PTG demonstrated an excellent model fit. The challenge appraisal of family caregivers was directly associated with the PTG of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Dispositional coping mediated the pathways between challenge appraisal and PTG for both patients undergoing hemodialysis and family caregivers. By exploring the cognitive appraisal and dispositional coping of patient-caregiver dyads undergoing hemodialysis may help both partners foster PTG.

Abstract
Given the global warming caused by excess CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere, it is essential to reduce CO2 by capturing and converting it to chemical feedstock using solar energy. Herein, a novel Cs3Bi2Br9/bismuth-based metal-organic framework (Bi-MOF) composite was prepared via an in situ growth strategy of Cs3Bi2Br9 quantum dots (QDs) on the surface of Bi-MOF nanosheets through coshared bismuth atoms. The prepared Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi-MOF exhibits bifunctional merits for both the high capture and effective conversion of CO2, among which the optimized 3Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi-MOF sample shows a CO2-CO conversion yield as high as 572.24 μmol g-1 h-1 under the irradiation of a 300 W Xe lamp. In addition, the composite shows good stability after five recycles in humid air, and the CO2 photoreduction efficiency does not decrease significantly. The mechanistic investigation uncovers that the intimate atomic-level contact between Cs3Bi2Br9 and Bi-MOF via the coshared atoms not only improves the dispersion of Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs over Bi-MOF nanosheets but also accelerates interfacial charge transfer by forming a strong bonding linkage, which endows it with the best performance of CO2 photoreduction. Our new finding of bismuth-based metal-organic framework/lead-free halide perovskite by cosharing atoms opens a new avenue for a novel preparation strategy of the heterojunction with atomic-level contact and potential applications in capture and photocatalytic conversion of CO2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity and overweight are risk factors for chronic disease worldwide. The purpose of this study was to compare the transcriptome of exercise-induced fat mobilization in obese people, and to explore the effect of different exercise intensity on the correlation of immune microenvironment remodeling and lipolysis in adipose tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microarray datasets of adipose tissue before and after exercise were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Then, we used gene-enrichment analysis and PPI-network construction to elucidate the function and enrichment pathways of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and to identify the central genes. A network of protein-protein interactions was obtained using STRING and visualized with Cytoscape. RESULTS A total of 929 DEGs were identified between 40 pre-exercise (BX) samples and 65 post-exercise (AX) samples from GSE58559, GSE116801, and GSE43471. Among these DEGs, adipose tissue-expressed genes were duly recognized. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses indicated that DEGs were mostly enriched in lipid metabolism. Studies have found that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and forkhead box O (FOXO) signaling pathway are up-regulated, while Ribosome, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and IGF-1 gene are down-regulated. Although we found the up-regulated genes that noted IL-1 among others, and the down-regulated gene was IL-34. The increase of inflammatory factors leads to changes in cellular immune microenvironment, and high-intensity exercise leads to increased expression of inflammatory factors in adipose tissue, leading to inflammatory responses. CONCLUSIONS Exercise at different intensities leads to the degradation of adipose and is accompanied by changes in the immune microenvironment within adipose tissue. High intensity exercise can cause the imbalance of immune microenvironment of adipose tissue while causing fat degradation. Therefore, moderate intensity and below exercise is the best way for the general population to reduce fat and weight.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This article aimed to evaluate the measurements of ectasia parameters by two Scheimpflug-based tomography devices, Pentacam and Sirius, for eyes with different corneal diameters (CDs). METHODS This cross-sectional research included subjects from the Fudan University EENT Hospital Refractive Center Database that were followed once a year for at least 3 years with unremarkable slit-lamp examination and normal topography. Pentacam and Sirius examinations were performed on these subjects and the ectasia indices were compared between different CD groups. RESULTS The right eyes of 153 subjects were included (CD ≤ 11.1 mm, n = 50; 11.2-12 mm, n = 52; > 12.0 mm, n = 51). For the ectasia parameters from Pentacam, CD had the greatest influence on the deviation of normality of back elevation (Db, R2 = 0.371, β = - 1.119, P < 0.001), overall deviation of normality (BAD-D, R2 = 0.305, β = - 0.589, P < 0.001), and minimum pachymetric progression index (PPImin, R2 = 0.282, β = - 0.131, P < 0.001). For parameters derived from Sirius, CD had the greatest influence on Baiocchi-Calossi-Versaci index of the back surface (BCVb, R2 = 0.138, β = - 0.179, P < 0.001), keratoconus vertex of the back surface (KVb, R2 = 0.099, β = - 2.273, P < 0.001), and BCV (R2 = 0.071, β = - 0.078, P = 0.001). CD had little influence on surface asymmetry index of the front (SIf) and back surface (SIb), keratoconus vertex of the front surface (KVf), Baiocchi-Calossi-Versaci index of the front surface (BCVf), and Sirius classifier (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS For Pentacam, CD mainly influenced indices related to back elevation (BE) and pachymetry progression, whereas for Sirius, CD mainly influenced indices related to BE and corneal aberration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the characteristics of corneal thickness measurements among the RTVue, Casia-2, and Pentacam in patients with mild-to-moderate keratoconus. METHODS We recruited 46 eyes of 46 patients diagnosed with mild-to-moderate keratoconus at our hospital between January and March 2022. The central corneal thickness (CCT) and thinnest corneal thickness (TCT) were measured using two optical coherence tomography (OCT) instruments (RTVue and Casia-2) and the more conventional Pentacam. Differences and correlations between the CCTs and TCTs, based on the device and influencing factors, were explored. RESULTS The CCTs were highly consistent among the groups (p = 0.434) and correlated with one another (p < 0.001). The TCTs measured by OCTs were thinner than those measured by the Pentacam (p < 0.001); however, all three devices were highly correlated (p < 0.001). The thinnest point location measurements with RTVue and Casia-2 differed significantly from the measurements with the Pentacam. Bland-Altman plots demonstrated a significant agreement between Pentacam and OCTs in TCT measurement (p < 0.001); the 95% limits of agreement were - 3.1 μm to + 33.1 μm for Pentacam and RTVue and - 8.6 μm to + 36.5 μm for Pentacam and Casia-2. RTVue and Casia-2 showed no difference in corneal thickness (p = 0.633) and thinnest point location measurement (p > 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified that the TCT measurement difference between the RTVue and Pentacam was related to the difference between the CCT and TCT (b = 0.490, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.033 to 0.948, p = 0.036), whereas the difference between the Casia-2 and Pentacam was related to the anterior radius for curvature (A) grade (b = 3.9, 95% CI: 1.753 to 6.074, p = 0.001), corneal pachymetry at the thinnest (C) grade (b = - 7.875, 95% CI: - 11.404 to - 4.346, p < 0.001), and the difference between the CCT and TCT (b = 0.425, 95% CI: 0.1 to 0.751, p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS CCTs in patients with mild-to-moderate keratoconus were similar among all three devices, but the TCTs and the thinnest point locations were not. Furthermore, the TCT measurement differences between the OCT devices and the Pentacam were more pronounced in keratoconus cases with a steeper anterior surface, thicker TCTs, and a larger difference between the CCT and TCT.

Abstract
Microtubule has been considered as attractive therapeutic target for various cancers. Although numerous of chemically diverse compounds targeting to colchicine site have been reported, none of them was approved by Food and Drug Administration. In this investigation, the virtual screening methods, including pharmacophore model, molecular docking, and interaction molecular fingerprints similarity, were applied to discover novel microtubule-destabilizing agents from database with 324,474 compounds. 22 compounds with novel scaffolds were identified as microtubule-destabilizing agents, and then submitted to the biological evaluation. Among these 22 hits, hit4 with novel scaffold represents the best anti-proliferative activity with IC50 ranging from 4.51 to 14.81 μM on four cancer cell lines. The in vitro assays reveal that hit4 can effectively inhibit tubulin assembly, and disrupt the microtubule network in MCF-7 cell at a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, the molecular dynamics simulation analysis exhibits that hit4 can stably bind to colchicine site, interact with key residues, and induce αT5 and βT7 regions changes. The values of ΔGbind for the tubulin-colchicine and tubulin-hit4 are -172.9±10.5 and -166.0±12.6 kJ·mol-1, respectively. The above results indicate that the hit4 is a novel microtubule destabilizing agent targeting to colchicine-binding site, which could be developed as a promising tubulin polymerization inhibitor with higher activity for cancer therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sarcopenia and obesity may contribute to chronic disease. However, little is known about the association between sarcopenia, body roundness index (BRI), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of sarcopenia and BRI with CVD in middle-aged and older Chinese population. DESIGN Cohort study with an 8-year follow-up. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data were derived from 4 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, and 6152 participants aged 45 or above were included in the study. METHODS Sarcopenia was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. CVD was defined as the presence of physician-diagnosed heart disease, diabetes and/or stroke. The associations of BRI and sarcopenia with CVD risk were explored using Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS The mean age of the participants was 58.3 (8.9) years, and 2936 (47.7%) were males. During the 8 years follow-up, 2385 cases (38.8%) with incident CVD were identified. Longitudinal results demonstrated that compared to neither sarcopenia or high BRI, both sarcopenia and high BRI (HR: 1.49, 95%CI: 1.08, 2.07) were associated with higher risk of CVD. In the subgroup analysis, individuals with both sarcopenia and high BRI were more likely to have new onset stroke (HR: 1.93, 95%CI: 1.12, 3.32) and increased risk of multimorbidity (HR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.14, 4.04). CONCLUSIONS Coexistence of sarcopenia and high BRI was associated with higher risk of CVD. Early identification and intervention for sarcopenia and BRI not only allows the implementation of therapeutic strategies, but also provides an opportunity to mitigate the risk of developing CVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sarcopenia and chronic pain are geriatric syndromes that negatively impact the lives of older people. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship among sarcopenia, pain, and successful aging among older persons participating in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). DESIGN Cohort study with a 2-year follow-up. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data were derived from 2 waves of the CHARLS, and 4280 community-dwelling participants aged ≥ 60 years were included in the study. METHODS Sarcopenia status was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 (AWGS 2019) criteria. Successful aging was defined following Rowe and Kahn's multidimensional model. Pain was assessed by a self-reported questionnaire. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to examine the associations. RESULTS Longitudinal results demonstrated that compared with no sarcopenia, possible sarcopenia [OR (95%CI): 0.600 (0.304~1.188)] was not significantly associated with successful aging. Pain only was strongly associated with successful aging [0.388 (0.251~0.600)], whereas the association between sarcopenia only and successful aging was weaker [0.509 (0.287~0.905)]. The likelihood of being successful aging was substantially lower in the presence of coexisting sarcopenia and pain [0.268 (0.108~0.759)]. CONCLUSIONS Both pain and sarcopenia are significant predictors for achieving successful aging among community-dwelling older adults. Early identification of sarcopenia and pain permits the implementation of treatment strategies and presents an opportunity to mitigate the risk of being unsuccessful aging.

Abstract
Micro-liquid floated gyroscopes are widely used in nuclear submarines, intercontinental missiles, and strategic bombers. The machining accuracy of micro-ball sockets determined the motion accuracy of the rotor. However, it was not easily fabricated by micro-cutting because of the excellent physical and chemical properties of beryllium copper alloy. Here, we presented a linear compensation of tool electrode and a proportional variable thickness method for milling micro-ball sockets in C17200 beryllium copper alloy by micro-electrical discharge machining. The machining parameters were systematically investigated and optimized to achieve high-precision micro-ball sockets when the k value was 0.98 and the initial layer thickness was 0.024 mm. Our method provided a new way to fabricate micro-ball sockets in C17200 with high efficiency for micro-liquid floated gyroscopes.
