Abstract
Metastasis accounts for the majority of cases of cancer recurrence and death in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) is a bile acid nuclear receptor that was recently found to be upregulated in NSCLC tissues. However, whether and how FXR regulates NSCLC metastasis remains unclear. In the present study, it was found that FXR promoted the migration, invasion, and angiogenic ability of NSCLC cells in vitro, and increased NSCLC metastasis in a mouse model in vivo. Mechanistic investigation demonstrated that FXR specifically bound to the promoters of IL-6ST and IL-6 genes to upregulate their transcription, thereby leading to activation of the Jak2/STAT3 signaling pathway, which facilitated tumor migration, invasion, and angiogenesis in NSCLC. Notably, Z-guggulsterone, a natural FXR inhibitor, significantly reduced FXRhigh NSCLC metastasis, and decreased the expression of FXR, IL-6, IL-6ST, and p-STAT3 in the mouse model. Clinical analysis verified that FXR was positively correlated with IL-6, IL-6ST and p-STAT3 expression in NSCLC patients, and was indicative of a poor prognosis. Collectively, these results highlight a novel FXR-induced IL-6/IL-6ST/Jak2/STAT3 axis in NSCLC metastasis, and a promising therapeutic means for treating FXRhigh metastatic NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cough is a common symptom during and after COVID-19 infection; however, few studies have described the cough profiles of COVID-19. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, severity, and associated risk factors of severe and persistent cough in individuals with COVID-19 during the latest wave of the Omicron variant in China. METHODS In this nationwide cross-sectional study, we collected information of the characteristics of cough from individuals with infection of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant using an online questionnaire sent between December 31, 2022, and January 11, 2023. RESULTS There were 11,718 (n=7978, 68.1% female) nonhospitalized responders, with a median age of 37 (IQR 30-47) years who responded at a median of 16 (IQR 12-20) days from infection onset to the time of the survey. Cough was the most common symptom, occurring in 91.7% of participants, followed by fever, fatigue, and nasal congestion (68.8%-87.4%). The median cough visual analog scale (VAS) score was 70 (IQR 50-80) mm. Being female (odds ratio [OR] 1.31, 95% CI 1.20-1.43), having a COVID-19 vaccination history (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.37-2.12), current smoking (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.41-0.58), chronic cough (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.69-2.45), coronary heart disease (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.17-2.52), asthma (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.02-1.46), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.01-1.45) were independent factors for severe cough (VAS>70, 37.4%). Among all respondents, 35.0% indicated having a productive cough, which was associated with risk factors of being female (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.31-1.57), having asthma (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.52-2.22), chronic cough (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.19-1.74), and GERD (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.01-1.47). Persistent cough (>3 weeks) occurred in 13.0% of individuals, which was associated with the risk factors of having diabetes (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.30-3.85), asthma (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.11-2.62), and chronic cough (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.32-2.94). CONCLUSIONS Cough is the most common symptom in nonhospitalized individuals with Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant infection. Being female, having asthma, chronic cough, GERD, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and a COVID-19 vaccination history emerged as independent factors associated with severe cough, productive cough, and persistent cough.

Abstract
To explore the protective effect and mechanism of mild hypothermia on lung tissue damage after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pigs. In this experiment, we electrically stimulated 16 pigs (30 ± 2 kg) for 10 min to cause ventricular fibrillation. The successfully resuscitated animals were randomly divided into two groups, a mild hypothermia group and a control group. We took arterial blood 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 h after ROSC recovery in the two groups of animals for blood gas analysis. We observed the structural changes of lung tissue under an electron microscope and calculate the wet weight/dry weight (W/D) ratio. We quantitatively analyzed the expression differences of representative inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha TNF-α)] through the ELISA test. We detected the expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 proteins in lung tissues by Western blot. After 3 h and 6 h of spontaneous circulation was restored, compared with the control group, PaO2/FiO2 decreased significantly (P < 0.05). In addition, the pathological changes, lung W/D and lung MDA of the mild hypothermia group were better than those of the control group. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the lung tissue of the mild hypothermia group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The content of Caspase-3 and Bax in the mild hypothermia group was significantly lower than that of the control group. Our experiments have shown that mild hypothermia can reduce lung tissue damage after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Rehabilitation services for recovery of impaired physical function following breast cancer treatments are largely underutilized. We previously found that breast cancer survivors treated with radiation who received higher radiation doses to the pectoralis major are more likely to self-report shoulder pain and disability. This study aims to address whether radiation dose delivered to the pectoralis major (Pmaj) and pectoralis minor (Pmin) are correlated with referrals for rehabilitation services post-treatment. MATERIALS/METHODS A retrospective 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted for breast cancer patients who were and were not referred for breast or shoulder rehabilitation services between 2014-2019 at a single academic institution. Patients were included if they had a lumpectomy and adjuvant radiation without regional nodal irradiation. Cohorts were matched based on age, axillary surgery (none vs. sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB)), and use of radiation boost. We used non-parametric Mann-Whitney U tests to determine whether Pmaj or Pmin doses (mean, V50Gy, V45Gy, V40Gy, V35Gy, V30Gy, V20Gy) were different between the two groups. Muscle doses were converted to EQD2 assuming an α/β ratio of 2.5. RESULTS In our study of 30 patients of a median age 57 years (IQR 12.75), 20 (66.67%) patients underwent SLNB in addition to lumpectomy. Median tumor size was 1.1cm (range 0.16 - 7.30cm). Stage was 0 for 11 patients (36.67%), I for 14 patients (46.67%), and II for 5 patients (16.67%). 3D conformal radiation was delivered to the whole breast with a moderately hypofractionated (n = 17) or conventionally fractionated regimen (n = 13). The most common rehabilitation diagnoses were lymphedema (n = 8), scar management (n = 7) and shoulder pain (n = 5). Mean dose to both the Pmaj (20.8Gy vs. 18.6Gy; p = 0.02) and Pmin (30.6Gy vs. 24.6Gy; p = 0.01) were significantly higher in patients who received post-treatment rehabilitation compared to those without. The V40Gy, V35Gy, V30Gy and V20Gy (all p<0.02) for the Pmin and V35Gy, V30Gy and V20Gy for the Pmaj (all p<0.04) were also significantly higher in those who underwent rehabilitation. CONCLUSION In this cohort of patients with early-stage breast cancer, increased mean doses to the pectoralis muscles were correlated with increased use of rehabilitation services after radiation. Physicians might consider using these dosimetric data to complement clinical symptoms in the decision-making process for referrals for rehabilitation services. This may help facilitate earlier referral to rehabilitation interventions, which is important since early intervention is correlated with improved shoulder morbidity.

Abstract
Despite advancements in therapeutic options, the overall prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poor. Therefore, it is crucial to further explore the etiology and targets for novel treatments to effectively manage NSCLC. In this study, immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate C (ALDOC) protein in tumor tissues and adjacent non-malignant tissues from 79 NSCLC patients. Our findings revealed that ALDOC was overexpressed in NSCLC tissues. ALDOC expression was associated with lymph node metastasis, lymphatic metastasis and pathological stage. In addition, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that higher ALDOC levels were indicative of a poorer prognosis. Additionally, we observed elevated ALDOC mRNA levels in NSCLC cell lines relative to normal cells. To investigate the functional roles of ALDOC, we infected cells with small interfering RNA against ALDOC, which led to attenuated proliferation and migration, as well as ameliorated apoptosis. Furthermore, through our investigations, we discovered that ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2N (UBE2N) acts as a downstream factor of ALDOC. ALDOC promoted NSCLC through affecting MYC-mediated UBE2N transcription and regulating the Wnt pathway. More importantly, we found that downregulation of UBE2N or the use of Wnt pathway inhibitor could reverse the promoting effects of ALDOC elevation on NSCLC development in vitro and in vivo. Based on these findings, our study highlights the potential of ALDOC as a future therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Abstract
The accelerated kinetic behaviour of charge carrier transfer and its unhindered surface reaction dynamic process involving oxygenated-intermediate activation and conversion are urgently required in photocatalytic water (H2 O) overall splitting, which has not been nevertheless resolved yet. Herein, localized CdS homojunctions with optimal collocation of high and low index facets to regulate d-band center for chemically adsorbing and activating key intermediates (*-OH and *-O) have been achieved in H2 O overall splitting into hydrogen. Density functional theory, hall effect, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy confirm that, electrons and holes are kinetically transferred to reductive high index facet (002) and oxidative low index facet (110) of the localized CdS homojunction induced by facet Fermi level difference to dehydrogenate *-OH and couple *-O for hydrogen and oxygen evolution, respectively, along with a solar conversion into hydrogen (STH) of 2.20 % by Air Mass 1.5 Global filter irradiation. These findings contribute to solving the kinetic bottleneck issues of photocatalytic H2 O splitting, which will further enhance STH.

They are indirect-bandgap semiconductors with bandgaps in the range of 2.18-4.36 eV, and possess anisotropic carrier mobility, strong mechanical flexibility, and excellent out-of-plane piezoelectricity. More importantly, it is found that the GaOCl monolayer and Janus GaOClX monolayers could exhibit an ultrahigh energy storage density (as high as 893.32 J cm-3) comparable to those of electrochemical supercapacitors and batteries, unparalleled by other dielectric materials reported to date. This work opens up a new window in searching for novel dielectric materials, which could be used in dielectric capacitors with superior energy storage density and power density, excellent efficiency and thermal stability.

Abstract
Asthma is a common chronic airway inflammation that produces a healthcare burden on the economy. We aim to obtain a better understanding of the clinical status and disease burden of patients with asthma in China. A retrospective study was carried out based on the computerized medical records in the Jinan Health Medical Big Data Platform between 2011 and 2019 (available data from 38 hospitals). The asthma severity of each patient was assessed retrospectively and categorized as mild, moderate, or severe according to Global Initiative for Asthma 2020 (GINA 2020). The results revealed that the majority (75.0%) of patients suffered from mild asthma. Patients treated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)/long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) at emergency department visits had lower frequencies of exacerbations compared with non-ICS/LABA-treated patients. The incidence rates for 1, 2, 3, and 4 exacerbation of the patients treated with ICS/LABA are lower than those treated without ICS/LABA (14.49 vs. 15.01%, 11.94% vs. 19.12%, 6.51% vs.12.92% and 4.10% vs. 9.35%). The difference got a statistical significance Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), two comorbidities related to asthma, were risk factors for asthma exacerbation. Finally, patients who suffered from exacerbations produced a heavier economic burden compared to the patients who never suffered exacerbations (mean costs are ¥3,339.67 vs. ¥968.45 separately). These results provide a reference for clinicians and patients to obtain a better treatment and therapy strategy management for people living with asthma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations between short- and long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and allergic symptoms in middle-aged and elderly populations remain unclear, particularly in China, where most cities have severe air pollution. METHODS Participants (n = 10,142; age = 40-75 years) were recruited from ten regions in China from 2018 to 2021 for the Predictive Value of Inflammatory Biomarkers and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 s (FEV1) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PIFCOPD) study. Short-term (lag0 and lag0-7 day) and long-term (1-, 3- and 5-year) PM2.5 concentrations at residences were extracted from the air pollutant database known as Tracking Air Pollution (TAP) in China. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate associations for short- and long-term PM2.5 exposure concentrations and long-term exposure models were additionally adjusted for short-term deviations. RESULTS A 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 on the day the allergic symptoms questionnaire was administered (lag0 day) was associated with higher odds of allergic nasal (1.09, 95% CI 1.05, 1.12) and eye symptoms (1.08, 95% CI 1.05, 1.11), worsening dyspnea caused by allergens (1.06, 95% CI 1.02, 1.10), and ≥ 2 allergic symptoms (1.07, 95% CI 1.03, 1.11), which was similar in the lag0-7 day concentrations. A 10 µg/m3 increase in the 1-year average PM2.5 concentration was associated with an increase of 23% for allergic nasal symptoms, 22% for eye symptoms, 20% for worsening dyspnea caused by allergens, and 21% for ≥ 2 allergic symptoms, similar to the 3- and 5-year average PM2.5 concentrations. These associations between long-term PM2.5 concentration and allergic symptoms were generally unchanged after adjustment for short-term deviations. CONCLUSIONS Short- and long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 was associated with an increased risk of allergic nasal and eye symptoms, worsening dyspnea caused by allergens, and ≥ 2 allergic symptoms. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinical trial ID: NCT03532893 (29 Mar 2018).

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as programmed death-1 (PD-1), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibodies, etc, have revolutionized cancer treatment strategies, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). While these immunotherapy agents have achieved durable clinical benefits in a subset of NSCLC patients, they bring in a variety of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which involve cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine and dermatologic system damage, ranging from mild to life-threatening. Thus, there is an urgent need to better understand the occurrence of irAEs and predict patients who are susceptible to those toxicities. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of what is updated about the clinical manifestations, mechanisms, predictive biomarkers and management of ICI-associated toxicity in NSCLC. In addition, this review also provides perspective directions for future research of NSCLC-related irAEs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent properties are emerging as promising candidates in electronics and spintronics. In this work, a novel GaOCl monolayer is proposed and studied systematically based on first-principles calculations. With excellent thermal and dynamic stability at room temperature, its wide direct bandgap (4.46 eV) can be further modulated under applied strains. The 2D semiconductor exhibits high mechanical flexibility, and anisotropy in Poisson's ratio and carrier mobilities, endowing it with a broad spectrum of electronic and optoelectronic applications. More importantly, the GaOCl monolayer has spontaneous magnetization induced by hole doping and shows outstanding multidirectional piezoelectricity, which are comparable with those of either magnetic or piezoelectric 2D materials. Our calculations indicate that the GaOCl monolayer with wide bandgaps and tunable piezoelectricity and ferromagnetism could be promising for applications in multifunctional integrated nano-devices with high performance.

Abstract
A polymer nanocomposite film decorated with highly dispersive nanoparticles was prepared by a liquid-liquid interface induced self-assembly method based on a breath figure process. The distribution as well as the orientation preference of the Janus particles within the polymer matrix could be dynamically controlled by adjusting the environmental conditions. Antibacterial and photocatalytic functionality was obtained for the nanocomposite films decorated with silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles, respectively.

Abstract
In our previous research, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum-12 alleviated inflammation in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mice by regulating intestinal microbiota and preventing colon shortening (p < 0.05). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether L. plantarum-12 could ameliorate the colon cancer symptoms of azoxymethane (AOM)/DSS-treated C57BL/6 mice. The results showed that L. plantarum-12 alleviated colonic shortening (from 7.43 ± 0.15 to 8.23 ± 0.25) and weight loss (from 25.92 ± 0.21 to 27.75 ± 0.88) in AOM/DSS-treated mice. L. plantarum-12 oral administration down-regulated pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α (from 350.41 ± 15.80 to 247.72 ± 21.91), IL-8 (from 322.19 ± 11.83 to 226.08 ± 22.06), and IL-1β (111.43 ± 8.14 to 56.90 ± 2.70) levels and up-regulated anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 (from 126.08 ± 24.92 to 275.89 ± 21.87) level of AOM/DSS-treated mice. L. plantarum-12 oral administration restored the intestinal microbiota dysbiosis of the AOM/DSS treated mice by up-regulating beneficial Muribaculaceae, Lactobacillaceae, and Bifidobacteriaceae levels and down-regulating pathogenic Proteobacteria, Desulfovibrionaceae, and Erysipelotrichaceae levels. As a result, the fecal metabolites of the AOM/DSS-treated mice were altered, including xanthosine, uridine, 3,4-methylenesebacic acid, 3-hydroxytetradecanedioic acid, 4-hydroxyhexanoylglycine, beta-leucine, and glycitein, by L. plantarum-12 oral administration. Furthermore, L. plantarum-12 oral administration significantly ameliorated the colon injury of the AOM/DSS-treated mice by enhancing colonic tight junction protein level and promoting tumor cells death via down-regulating PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) and up-regulating pro-apoptotic Bax. (p < 0.05). Taken together, L. plantarum-12 oral administration could ameliorate the colon cancer burden and inflammation of AOM-DSS-treated C57BL/6 mice through regulating the intestinal microbiota, manipulating fecal metabolites, enhancing colon barrier function, and inhibiting NF-κB signaling. These results suggest that L. plantarum-12 might be an excellent probiotic candidate for the prevention of colon cancer.

Abstract
InSeBr-Type monolayers, ternary In(Se,S)(Br,Cl) compounds, are typical two-dimensional (2D) Janus materials and can be exfoliated from their bulk crystals. The structural stability, electronic properties, mechanical flexibility, and intrinsic piezoelectricity of these InSeBr-type 2D Janus monolayers are comprehensively investigated by first-principles calculations. Our calculations show that the stable InSeBr-type monolayers exhibit ultrahigh mechanical flexibility with low Young's moduli. Due to the amazing flexibility of the InSeBr monolayer with an ultra-low Young's modulus of 0.81 N m-1, the piezoelectric strain coefficient d11 can reach 103 pm V-1 orders of magnitude (around 2361-3224 pm V-1), which is larger than those of reported 2D materials and even superior to those of conventional perovskite bulk materials. Such a superior piezoelectric response of InSeBr-type monolayers could facilitate their practical applications in sensors and energy harvesters.

High farnesoid X receptor expression predicts favorable clinical outcomes in PD‑L1 low/negative non‑small cell lung cancer patients receiving anti‑PD‑1‑based chemo‑immunotherapy.

Abstract
Anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-directed immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, predictive biomarkers are still lacking, particularly in identifying PD-L1low/negative patients who will benefit from immunotherapy. It was previously reported that farnesoid X receptor (FXR) downregulated PD-L1 expression in NSCLC, and that FXRhighPD-L1low mouse Lewis lung carcinoma tumors showed an increased susceptibility to PD-1 blockade compared with mock tumors. At present, whether the FXRhighPD-L1low phenotype predicts clinical response to immunotherapy in patients with NSCLC remains unclear. Herein, a retrospective study was conducted to examine the expression levels of FXR, PD-L1 and CD8+ T cells by immunohistochemistry in a cohort of 149 patients with NSCLC receiving anti-PD-1-based chemo-immunotherapy. The results revealed that high FXR and PD-L1 expression levels were associated with higher objective response rates (ORR) in all patients. High PD-L1 expression also indicated superior progression-free survival (PFS). Interestingly, an inverse correlation was identified between FXR and PD-L1 expression in specimens with NSCLC. Subgroup analysis revealed that high FXR expression was associated with a higher ORR, as well as longer PFS and overall survival (OS) in PD-L1low patients. Cox multivariate analysis revealed that high FXR expression was an independent predictor for PFS and OS in PD-L1low patients. Tumor microenvironment evaluation revealed a statistically significant decrease of infiltrating CD8+ T cells in FXRhigh specimens with NSCLC. Overall, the present study proposed an FXRhighPD-L1low signature as a candidate predictor of response to anti-PD-1-based chemo-immunotherapy in PD-L1low/negative patients with NSCLC, providing evidence that could be used to broaden the patients benefitting from immunotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE As stated in the Global Initiative for Asthma, there are still some asthmatic patients who have not achieved asthma control. Mobile is a useful tool for asthma management. We aimed to compare the advantages of mobile management with traditional management in improving adherence and control of asthma. METHODS In this prospective, multicentre, randomized, controlled and parallel-group study, we enrolled patients with poor adherence and uncontrolled asthma at 32 hospitals in 28 provinces in China. Patients were randomly assigned to the mobile management or traditional management groups for 12 months. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with good adherence (Medication Adherence Report Scale for Asthma [MARS-A] score ≥ 45) for 6 months. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02917174). RESULTS Between April 2017 and April 2018, 923 patients were eligible for randomization (mobile group, n = 461; traditional group, n = 462). Dropout was 84 (18.2%) in the mobile management group and 113 (24.4%) patients in the traditional management group. The proportion of patients with good adherence was significantly higher in the mobile management group than in the traditional management group (66.0% vs. 58.99%, P = 0.048). The mobile management group showed higher mean MARS-A score (at 1, 6, 9, and 12 months) and asthma control test scores (at 6 and 9 months), and lower total lost rate to follow-up within 12 months than the traditional management group. CONCLUSIONS Mobile asthma management can improve adherence and asthma control compared to traditional management. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02917174.

Abstract
α-Casein (α-CN) is considered the main allergen in bovine milk. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation can hydrolyze milk protein and therefore reduce the antigenicity. In this paper, a LAB reducing the antigenicity of casein, identified as LactiplantibacillusPlantarum 7-2 (L. plantarum 7-2), was primarily identified by screening for protein hydrolysis ability using a method involving the determination of released free amino acid with further selection for the ideal antigenicity-reducing capability by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In order to verify the capability of L. plantarum 7-2 in inhibiting antigenicity, the standard milk proteins α-LA, β-LG, α-CN, β-CN and κ-CN were cultured with L. plantarum 7-2 for 18 h; The results of SDS-PAGE show that all the bands corresponding to the full length tested proteins became unclear or completely disappeared indicating that these proteins were hydrolyzed by L. plantarum 7-2. Correspondingly, the antigenicities of α-CN and β-LG were significantly reduced. L. plantarum 7-2 demonstrated negative hemolysis and nitrate reductase capabilities and was sensitive to the commonly used antibiotics ampicillin clindamycin tetracycline chloramphenicol, and erythromycin, demonstrating that L. plantarum 7-2 could be used in dairy product fermentation to reduce the antigenicity of milk protein.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharide produced by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum-12 (LPEPS) exhibited the anti-proliferating effect on human colon cancer cell line HT-29 in vitro. The purpose of the study was to determine the alleviating effects of LPEPS on colon cancer development of the C57BL/6 mice treated by azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium salt (AOM/DSS). The C57BL/6 mice treated by AOM/DSS were orally administered LPEPS daily for 85 days. The results showed that LPEPS oral administration enhanced colon tight-junction protein expression and ameliorated colon shortening and tumor burden of the AOM/DSS treated mice. Furthermore, LPEPS oral administration significantly reduced pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-8, and IL-1β levels and increased anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 level in the serum of the AOM/DSS-treated mice. LPEPS oral administration reversed the alterations of gut flora in AOM/DSS-treated mice, as evidenced by the increasing of the abundance of Bacteroidetes, Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio, Muribaculaceae, Burkholderiaceae, and norank_o__Rhodospirillales and the decreasing of the abundance of Firmicutes, Desulfovibrionaceae, Erysipelotrichaceae, and Helicobacteraceae. The fecal metabolites of the AOM/DSS-treated mice were altered by LPEPS oral administration, involving lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism. Together, these results suggested that LPEPS oral administration alleviated AOM/DSS-induced colon cancer symptoms of the C57BL/6 mice by modulating gut microbiota and metabolites, enhancing intestine barrier, inhibiting NF-κB pathway, and activating caspase cascade.

Abstract
Low efficient transfer of photogenerated charge carriers to redox sites along with high surface reaction barrier is a bottleneck problem of photocatalytic H2O overall splitting. Here, in the absence of cocatalysts, H2O overall splitting has been achieved by single-atomic S vacancy hexagonal CdS with a spin polarization electric field (PEF). Theoretical and experimental results confirm that single-atomic S vacancy-induced spin PEF with opposite direction to the Coulomb field accelerates charge carrier transport dynamics from the bulk phase to surface-redox sites. By systematically tuning the spin PEF intensity with single-atomic S vacancy content, common pristine CdS is converted to a photocatalyst that can efficiently complete H2O overall splitting by releasing a great number of H2 bubbles under natural solar light. This work solves the bottleneck of solar energy conversion in essence by single atom vacancy engineering, which will promote significant photocatalytic performance enhancement for commercialization.

Abstract
Milk protein is one of the eight major allergens, and α-lactalbumin (α-LA) is one of the major allergens of bovine milk protein. Our previous studies found that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HM-22 (L. plantarum HM-22) showed a good gastrointestinal survival rate and intestinal colonization. To investigate the effect of L. plantarum HM-22 on intestinal inflammation and intestinal microbiota in α-LA-induced allergic mice, in this study, L. plantarum HM-22 at low and high doses was intragastrically administered to α-LA-induced allergic mice for 5 weeks. The results showed that L. plantarum HM-22 significantly relieved the weight loss and organ index of α-LA-induced allergic mice (p < 0.05). L. plantarum HM-22 increased the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the serum of α-LA-induced allergic mice and decreased the levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and the proinflammatory factor interleukin-4 (IL-4) (p < 0.05). The crypt structure of the colon tissues of α-LA-induced allergic mice changed, goblet cells decreased, and the phenomenon of a large number of inflammatory corpuscles that appeared was improved and alleviated with the intervention of L. plantarum HM-22 by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Western blot analysis showed that L. plantarum HM-22 significantly increased the expression of occludin and claudin-1 in the colon of α-LA-induced allergic mice and decreased the expression of the inflammatory proteins p65 and IκBα (p < 0.05). The intestinal microbiota of mice in each group was determined by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, and the results showed that intervention with L. plantarum HM-22 improved the intestinal microbes of α-LA-induced allergic mice. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed the correlation between intestinal microbiota changes and the α-LA-induced allergy-related index. This study provides a theoretical basis for probiotics to prevent allergies by changing the intestinal microbiota.

Abstract
Background A growing body of evidence has proven that long noncoding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) are important epigenetic regulators that play crucial parts in the pathogenesis of human cancers. Previous studies have shown that long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA 01116 (LINC01116) is a carcinogen in several carcinomas; however, its function in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been clarified. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of LINC01116 in LUAD. Methods The relative expression levels of LINC01116 in LUAD cell lines and tissues were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. A Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed using patient information from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database. LUAD proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis were measured by performing cell counting kit‐8, colony formation, transwell, wound healing, and flow cytometric assays. A xenograft animal experiment was performed to investigate the effect of LINC01116 in vivo. Protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway‐related protein expressions were tested by Western blot assay. Results LINC01116 expression was upregulated in LUAD cells and tissues. The loss‐of‐function experiments on LUAD cells revealed that silencing LINC01116 expression could decrease cell viability both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, silencing LINC01116 inhibited LUAD cell invasion and migration and induced cell apoptosis. Mechanically, silencing LINC01116 significantly decreased p‐AKT protein levels, and an AKT pathway stimulator could rescue the suppressive effects of small interfering LINC011116‐specific RNAs on LUAD development. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that silencing LINC01116 suppresses the development of LUAD via the AKT signaling pathway.

Abstract
A g-C3N4 allotrope, a curved leaf-like graphitic C2N3 (g-C2N3) with an intrinsic spontaneous polarization electric field (ISPEF), has been constructed for efficient solar energy conversion into H2 energy via photocatalytic H2O splitting. The curved leaf-like π-delocalization g-C2N3 was composed of aromatic azide pentagons and normal triazine hexagons obtained by cycloaddition between -C≡N groups from dicyandiamide polymerization and azide from the heat-treated polypyrrole fibers. Under light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), photo-generated charges are driven to separate efficiently and transfer from bulk to active sites of the surface under ISPEF that is opposite to the Coulomb field. Consequently, without any cocatalyst, g-C3N4 allotrope demonstrates a very high H2-production activity of 14.9 mmol g-1 h-1 accompanied by a lot of H2 bubbles, which is 2.6 times of g-C3N4 loading with Pt. In comparison with the reported metal-free photocatalysts or those supported with noble metals, g-C3N4 allotrope (i.e., leaf-like g-C2N3) is confirmed to be the best metal-free photocatalyst for H2O splitting into H2 fuel so far. The contructed leaf-like g-C2N3 with SPEF supplies a suitable platform for solar energy conversion into H2 fuel, which actively contributes to clean energy production.

Abstract
Objective: Long noncoding RNA FGD5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) participates in the
regulation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression, but the
underlying mechanisms are not fully revealed. This study aimed to determine
the regulatory mechanism of FGD5-AS1 on the viability, migration, and
invasion of NSCLC cells. Methods: QRT-PCR was performed to measure the expression of FGD5-AS1, microRNA-944
(miR-944), and MACC1 in NSCLC. The correlation between FGD5-AS1 and
clinicopathological features of NSCLC patients was analyzed. The viability
of NSCLC cells were detected using MTT assay, and the migration and invasion
were measured by transwell assay. Additionally, dual-luciferase reporter
assay was used to demonstrate the interactions among FGD5-AS1, miR-944, and
MACC1. Furthermore, exosomes were isolated from NSCLC cells and identified
by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and western blot. Then, the
macrophages treated with exosomes were co-cultured with NSCLC cells to
assess the effect of exosomes containing lower FGD5-AS1 level on NSCLC. Results: The expression of FGD5-AS1 and MACC1 was increased in NSCLC, but miR-944
expression was decreased. FGD5-AS1 expression had significantly correlation
with TNM stage and metastasis in NSCLC patients. FGD5-AS1 knockdown
decreased the viability, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells.
Additionally, FGD5-AS1 and MACC1 were both targeted by miR-944 with the
complementary binding sites at 3’ UTR. In the feedback experiments, miR-944
inhibition or MACC1 overexpression reversed the reduction effect of FGD5-AS1
knockdown on the tumorigenesis of NSCLC. Moreover, silencing of FGD5-AS1
suppressed macrophages M2 polarization, and eliminated the promoting effects
of exosomes mediated macrophages on NSCLC cell migration and invasion. Conclusions: FGD5-AS1 knockdown attenuated viability, migration, and invasion of NSCLC
cells by regulating the miR-944/MACC1 axis, providing a new therapeutic
target for NSCLC.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of Kangbingdu granules (KBD) in the treatment of influenza. Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, and positive-drug parallel control trial was conducted in 27 Grade ⅢA hospitals in China and the subjects were randomly assigned to the KBD test group or the oseltamivir phosphate capsule control group at a ratio of 1∶1. 200 subjects were planned to be enrolled in each group. The experimental group was given KBD (18g each time, 3 times a day) and oseltamivir phosphate simulator orally, while the control group was given oseltamivir phosphate capsule (75 mg each time, twice a day) and KBD simulator orally for 5 days. The primary efficacy indicators included the remission time of major clinical symptoms and the time of complete defervescence. The secondary efficacy indicators included dosage of acetaminophen, the change of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score and the remission time of other important clinical symptoms. The efficacy of KBD in the test group and Oseltamivir phosphate control group were compared. Adverse events or adverse reactions were observed at the same time to evaluate the safety of KBD Granules. Results: A total of 393 subjects from 27 Grade ⅢA hospitals in China were enrolled. The experimental group included 195 subjects and 191 subjects (97.95%) completed the trial, While the control group included 198 subjects and 195 subjects (98.48%) completed the trial. There was no significant difference in the shedding rate and rejection rate between the two groups (P>0.05). In the Full Analysis Set (FAS), the mean age of the experimental group was (34.9±14.4) years old, with 83 males (42.78%). The mean age of the control group was (33.3±13.5) years old, with 78 males (39.59%). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in demographic data, physical examination, viral pathogen detection, total score of TCM syndromes and scores of each symptom at baseline (P>0.05). In the FAS, the remission time M (Q1, Q3) of major clinical symptoms was 3.0 (3.0, 4.0) days in the experimental group and 3.0 (3.0, 4.0) days in the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The time M (Q1, Q3) of complete defervescence was 34.0 (20.3, 49.0) hours in the experimental group and 36.5 (19.6, 48.8) hours in the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). KBD granules had the same effect as Oseltamivir phosphate capsule (P>0.05) in terms of acetaminophen dosage, TCM syndrome effect and disappearance rate of most important clinical symptoms. Meanwhile, the disappearance rate of dizziness and chest distress on day 3 in the KBD granules group was better than that of oseltamivir phosphate capsule (P<0.05). Conclusion: KBD granules have the same efficacy as Oseltamivir Phosphate capsule in the treatment of influenza and the drug safety is good.

Abstract
The activities of β-galactosidases from bacteria and molds are affected by temperature, pH, and other factors in the processing of dairy products, limiting their application, so it is necessary to find alternative lactases. In this study, the β-galactosidase gene from Bacillus coagulans T242 was cloned, co-expressed with a molecular chaperone in Escherichia coli BL21, and subjected to bioinformatic and kinetic analyses and lactase characterization. The results show that the enzyme is a novel thermostable neutral lactase with optimum hydrolytic activity at pH 6.8 and 50°C. The thermal stability and increased lactose hydrolysis activity of β-galactosidase in the presence of Ca2+ indicated its potential application in the dairy industry.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary cryptococcosis in respiratory medicine and improve the understanding of the clinical characteristics of HIV-negative pulmonary cryptococcosis in China. Methods: A prospective multi-center open cohort study was designed to screen for pulmonary cryptococcosis in the general wards and intensive care units of the Department of Respiratory Diseases in 22 hospitals. The HIV-negative patients with positive cryptococcal etiological diagnosis based on smear culture, antigen detection and histopathology were enrolled in the study. The clinical data of enrolled patients were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 457 cases of pulmonary cryptococcosis were enrolled, among which 3.28% (15/457) were disseminated infections. The case fatality rate was 0.88% (4/457). The majority of the cases were diagnosed by histopathological examinations (74.40%, 340/457) and cryptococcus antigen detection (37.64%, 172/457). Patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis accounted for 2.04‰ (457/223 748) of the total hospitalized patients in the Department of Respiratory Diseases during the same period, and the ratio was the highest in south and east China. Meanwhile, 70.24% (321/457) of the patients had no underlying diseases, while 87.75% (401/457) were found to have immunocompetent status. Cough and expectoration were the most common clinical symptoms in patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis. However, 25.16% (115/457) of the patients had no clinical symptom or physical signs. In terms of imaging features on pulmonary CT, multiple pulmonary lesions were more common than isolated lesions, and there were more subpleural lesions than perihilar or medial lesions. Morphologically, most of the lesions were middle-sized nodules (1-5 cm) or small-sized nodules (3 mm to 1 cm). The sensitivity of serum cryptococcus antigen test was 71.99% (203/282). Moreover, antigen-positive patients differed from antigen-negative patients in terms of basic immune status, clinical symptoms, imaging features and infection types. Meanwhile, immunocompromised patients differed from immunocompetent patients in terms of clinical symptoms, physical signs, infection-related inflammation indicator levels, imaging features, serum cryptococcus antigen positive rate and prognosis. Conclusions: The majority of cases of HIV-negative pulmonary cryptococcosis in China had no underlying disease or immunocompromised status, and the overrall prognosis was favorable. However, early diagnosis of HIV-negative pulmonary cryptococcosis remains challenging due to the complicated manifestations of the disease.

Abstract
Low-dimensional materials have aroused widespread interest for their novel and fascinating properties. Based on first-principles calculations, we predict the one-dimensional (1D) InSeI nanochains with van der Waals (vdW) interchain interactions, which could be exfoliated mechanically and kept at steady states at room temperature. Compared with bulk InSeI, the single nanochain InSeI has a larger direct bandgap of 3.15 eV. Its calculated carrier mobility is as high as 54.17 and 27.49 cm2 V-1 s-1 for holes and electrons, respectively, comparable with those of other 1D materials. In addition, a direct-to-indirect bandgap transition is implemented under a small applied strain (∼6%). More importantly, the nanochains are found to be promising candidates for optoelectronic devices since they possess a high absorption coefficient of ∼105 cm-1 in the ultraviolet region. The results thus pave a novel avenue for the applications of InSeI nanochains with excellent thermal stability in nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The Heusler alloys CoFeRGa (R = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, and Nb) have similar chemical compositions, but exhibit remarkably distinct electronic structures, magnetism and transport properties. These structures cover an extensive range of spin gapless semiconductors, half-metals, semiconductors and metals with either ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, antiferromagnetic, or nonmagnetic states. The Heusler alloys have three types of structures, namely, type-I, type-II, and type-III. By means of first-principles calculation combined with the Boltzmann equation within the consideration of spin-freedom, we explore the transport feature of the most stable structure (type-I). In addition, we provide evidence that all the considered materials are mechanically and dynamically stable, possessing high strength and toughness to resist compression and tensile strain. Moreover, the distinct electronic (metallic, insulating, and half-metallic) properties and magnetic behaviors originate mainly from a cooperative electron transfer and electronic structures have been verified by our calculation. Finally, we found that the tunable electronic structure with varied atomic numbers has significant influence on the spin-Seebeck effect. Correspondingly, the calculated spin-Seebeck coefficient of CoFeCrGa is -60.29 μV K-1 at 300 K, which is larger than that of other quaternary Heusler compounds. Our results provide a band-engineering platform to design Heusler structures with different electronic behaviors in isomorphic compounds, which provide the way for accelerating the pre-screening of materials to advance and for using the quaternary Heusler compounds for potential applications in spin caloritronic devices.

Abstract
Background Since SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was first identified in December 2019, the novel coronavirus‐induced pneumonia COVID‐19 spread rapidly and triggered a global pandemic. Recent bioinformatics evidence suggested that angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2—the main cell entry target of SARS‐CoV‐2—was predominantly enriched in spermatogonia, Leydig and Sertoli cells, which suggests the potential vulnerability of the male reproductive system to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Objectives To identify SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA in seminal plasma and to determine semen characteristics from male patients in the acute and recovery phases of infection. Methods From February 26 to April 2, 2020, 23 male patients with COVID‐19 were recruited. The clinical characteristics, laboratory findings and chest computed tomography scans of all patients were recorded in detail. We also investigated semen characteristics and the viral RNA load in semen from these patients in the acute and recovery phases of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection using approved methods. Results The age range of the 23 patients was 20‐62 years. All patients tested negative for SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA in semen specimens. Among them, the virus had been cleared in 11 patients, as they tested negative. The remaining 12 patients tested negative for SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA in semen samples, but were positive in sputum and fecal specimens. The median interval from diagnosis to providing semen samples was 32 days, when total sperm counts, total motile sperm counts, and sperm morphology of the patients were within normal ranges. Discussion and Conclusion In this cohort of patients with a recent infection or recovering from COVID‐19, there was no SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA detected in semen samples, which indicates the unlikely possibility of sexual transmission through semen at about 1 month after first detection.

Abstract
Measurement of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a quantitative and non-invasive approach to examine airway inflammation, which is a powerful aid in diagnosing chronic disorders of airways like asthma. Diagnostic value of FeNO and relevant indices on pulmonary function in the patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was evaluated. A total of 164 patients [58 asthma, 49 COPD and 57 asthma-COPD overlap (ACO)] were randomly recruited. FeNO, pulmonary ventilation function, and bronchial diastolic function were performed. Eight indicators including FeNO, vital capacity percentage (VC%), forced vital capacity percentage (FVC%), forced expiratory volume in one second percentage (FEV1%), forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity percentage (FEV1/FVC%), maximum independent ventilation volume percentage (MVV%), the increased percentage of FEV1 after bronchial diastolic test, the increased absolute value of FEV1 after bronchial diastolic test were examined. Significant difference in VC%, FVC%, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC%, MVV%, the increased absolute value of FEV1 after bronchial diastolic test and FeNO were significantly different between patients with asthma and patients with COPD (P<0.05). There were significant differences of VC%, FVC%, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC%, MVV% and the increased percentage of FEV1 after bronchial diastolic test in cases of patients with asthma compared to ACO patients (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance on VC%, FVC%, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC%, MVV% between COPD patients and ACO patients (P>0.05). However, more importantly, the increased percentage of FEV1 after bronchial diastolic test, the increased absolute value of FEV1 after bronchial diastolic test and the alterations on FeNO were found significantly different in ACO group compared with COPD alone (P<0.05). We compared the results from pulmonary ventilation function, bronchial diastolic function examination as well as FeNO detection among 3 groups of asthma, COPD and ACO. The examination of pulmonary ventilation function and bronchial diastolic function combined with FeNO detection is helpful in the early screening of ACO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CalliSpheres are drug-eluting beads used for tumor artery embolization, with clinical benefits in a number of cancer types. The aim of the study was to examine the clinical benefits and complications of patients with stage II-IV lung cancer treated with CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads for embolization versus conventional vascular interventional treatment. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study conducted from August 2018 to May 2019. The patients were grouped according to traditional bronchial arterial infusion chemotherapy (infusion group) or bronchial arterial chemoembolization with CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads loaded with adriamycin (CallisSphere group). Short-term effects, serum tumor markers, and adverse reactions during follow-up were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There were 60 participants enrolled into the study with 30 in each group including 54 men and six women, 42-78 years of age. In the CalliSphere group, compared with the infusion group, the disease control rate was 93.3% versus 73.3% (P = 0.080) and the objective remission rate (ORR) was 86.7% versus 60.0% (P = 0.039); the three- and six-month progression-free survival (PFS) and six-month overall survival (OS) were better in the CalliSphere group (three-month PFS: 96.7% vs. 73.3%, P = 0.026; six-month PFS: 87.5% vs. 57.1%, P = 0.045; six-month OS: 87.5% vs. 52.7%, P = 0.024); after treatment, the tumor markers in the CalliSphere group were lower (CEA: P < 0.001; CYFRA21-1: P = 0.014). There were no differences in adverse reactions between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The clinical effect of bronchial arterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads on lung cancer is probably significant and could improve the short-term response, PFS, and OS in patients with stage IIIV lung cancer, without increasing severe adverse reactions. KEY POINTS SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: The clinical effect of bronchial arterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads on lung cancer is probably significant and could improve the short-term response, PFS, and OS in patients with stage II-IV lung cancer, without increasing severe adverse reactions. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS The ORR, PFS, OS was better in the CalliSphere group than that of infusion group; CEA and CYFRA21-1 were significant lower in CalliSphere group.

Abstract
In developing countries, Shigella flexneri is the most common enteric pathogen causing bacillary dysentery. Biofilm formation by S. flexneri can cause the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, which poses serious threats to food safety and human health. In this study, the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum 12 exopolysaccharides (L-EPSs) and S. flexneri exopolysaccharides (S-EPSs) on S. flexneri CMCC51574 biofilm formation were investigated. The results showed that L-EPS could decrease polysaccharide production in the extracellular polymeric matrix of S. flexneri and inhibit biofilm formation by S. flexneri L-EPS could decrease the minimum biofilm elimination concentration (MBEC) of antibiotics against S. flexneri biofilm and inhibit S. flexneri adhesion to and invasion into HT-29 cell monolayers, which might be ascribed to S. flexneri biofilm disturbance by L-EPS. In contrast, S-EPS exhibited the opposite effects compared to L-EPS. The monosaccharide composition analysis showed that L-EPS was composed of mannose, glucuronic acid, galactosamine, glucose, galactose, and xylose, with the molar ratio of 32.26:0.99:1.79:5.63:0.05:4.07, while S-EPS was composed of mannose, glucuronic acid, galactosamine, glucose, and galactose, with the molar ratio of 25.43:2.28:7.13:5.35. L-EPS was separated into the neutral polysaccharide L-EPS 1-1 and the acidic polysaccharide L-EPS 2-1 by ion-exchange chromatography and gel chromatography. L-EPS 2-1 exerted higher antibiofilm activity than L-EPS 1-1. The antibiofilm activity of L-EPS might be associated with its structure.IMPORTANCES. flexneri is a widespread foodborne pathogen causing food contamination and responsible for food poisoning outbreaks related to various foods in developing countries. Not only has biofilm formation by S. flexneri been difficult to eliminate, but it has also increased the drug resistance of the strain. In the present study, it was demonstrated that L-EPSs secreted by Lactobacillus plantrum 12 could inhibit S. flexneri biofilm formation on, adhesion to, and invasion into HT-29 cells. Also, L-EPSs could decrease the minimum biofilm elimination concentration (MBEC) of the antibiotics used against S. flexneri biofilm. Therefore, L-EPSs were shown to be bioactive macromolecules with the potential ability to act against S. flexneri infections.

Abstract
Checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy has exhibited unprecedented success in the treatment of advanced-stage cancer in recent years. Several therapeutic antibodies targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1) or its ligand (PD-L1) have received regulatory approvals for the treatment of multiple malignancies, including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, kidney cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, a substantial proportion of patients still do not benefit from these agents, let alone the risk of immune-associated toxicities and financial burden. Therefore, it is imperative to identify valid predictive biomarkers which can help optimize the selection of patients. In this review, a mechanism-based interpretation of tumor PD-L1 expression and other candidate biomarkers of response to antitumor PD-1/PD-L1 blockade was provided, particularly for the tumor microenvironment-derived ‘immunomes’, and the challenges faced in their clinical use was addressed. Directions for future biomarker development and the potential of combined biomarker strategies were also proposed.

Abstract
Low-energy facets on CdS allomorph junctions with optimal phase ratio are designed to boost charge directional transfer for photocatalytic H2 fuel evolution. Fermi energy level difference between low-energy facets as driving force promotes electrons directional transfer to hexagonal CdS(102) facet and holes to cubic CdS(111) facet. The optimal allomorphs CdS presents superior photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 32.95 mmol g-1 h-1 with release in a large amount of visible H2 bubbles, which is much higher than single-phase CdS with high-energy facets and even supports noble metal photocatalysts. This scientific perspective on low-energy facets of allomorph junctions with optimal phase ratio breaks the long-held view of pursuing high-energy crystal surfaces, which will break the understanding on surface structure crystal facet engineering of photocatalytic materials.

Abstract
Purpose In clinical practice, some chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients experienced a remarkable increase in forced vital capacity (FVC) after bronchodilator administration, whereas forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) remains substantially unchanged. We assume this may relate to airway inflammatory type. We aim to analyze the clinical characteristics and explore the usefulness of the bronchodilator test, especially FVC, in this new COPD phenotype. Patients and Methods A total of 346 COPD patients with exacerbation who underwent bronchodilator tests, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurements and blood eosinophil counts were analyzed. The characteristics, FeNO levels, and blood eosinophil counts were compared between patients with and without significant bronchodilator responsiveness in terms of FVC. Results Patients with significant FVC responsiveness displayed poorer lung function and higher FeNO levels compared with those without considerable FVC responsiveness (Z= −5.042 to −0.375, p=0.000–0.022). There is a discernible linear relationship between FeNO levels and FVC responsiveness to bronchodilator use (r=0.251, P=0.001). The application of bronchodilator responsiveness of FVC for detecting high FeNO levels in COPD patients exhibited relatively high sensitivity (61.8%) and specificity (86.7%). Conclusion We demonstrated that COPD patients with significant FVC responsiveness had higher FeNO levels than non-responders and established a simple method for detecting high FeNO values. FVC responders may be identified as a separate group of COPD patients.

Abstract
Recently, stable 2D wide-bandgap semiconductors with excellent electronic and photoelectronic properties have attracted much scientific and technological interest. In this study, we predict a novel InTeI monolayer which has a wide bandgap of 2.735 eV and a anisotropic electron mobility as high as 12 137.80 cm2 V-1 s-1 based on first-principles calculations. With an exfoliating energy lower than that of monolayer phosphorene, it is feasible to synthesize the 2D InTeI monolayer through mechanical exfoliation from their 3D bulk crystals. Remarkably, the monolayer InTeI achieves the indirect-to-direct bandgap transition under a small in-plane uniaxial strain, while a quasi-direct bandgap can be achieved in the InTeI nanosheets with elevated thickness. The InTeI monolayer and nanosheets have suitable band alignments in the visible-light excitation region. In addition, our theoretical simulations determine that 2D InTeI materials exhibit more excellent oxidation resistance than black phosphorene. The results not only identify a novel class of 2D wide-bandgap semiconductors but also demonstrate their potential applications in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.

Abstract
Background Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in fibrosis, chronic inflammation, tumor metastasis, etc. Glycyrrhizin, an active component extracted from licorice plant, has been reported to treat a variety of inflammatory reactions through inhibiting high-mobility group box1 (HMGB1), which has been suggested to be a significant mediator in EMT process. However, whether glycyrrhizin affects the EMT process or not remains unclear. Methods Human alveolar epithelial cell line A549 and normal human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B were treated with extrinsic TGF-β1 to induce EMT. Elisa was used to detect HMGB1 concentrations in cell supernatant. RNA interference and lentivirus infection experiments were performed to investigate the involvement of HMGB1 in EMT process. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the viability of A549 and BEAS-2B cells treated with glycyrrhizin. Finally, the effects of glycyrrhizin on EMT changes, as well as the underlying mechanisms, were evaluated via Western blot, immunofluorescence and transwell assays. Results Our results showed that HMGB1 expression was increased by TGF-β1, and knockdown of HMGB1 expression reversed TGF-β1-induced EMT in A549 and BEAS-2B cells. Ectopic HMGB1 expression or TGF-β1 treatment caused a significant increase in HMGB1 release. Notably, we found that glycyrrhizin treatment effectively suppressed TGF-β1-induced EMT process by inhibiting HMGB1. Also, glycyrrhizin significantly inhibited the migration of both A549 and BEAS-2B cells promoted by TGF-β1. Mechanistically, HMGB1 overexpression could activate Smad2/3 signaling in A549 and BEAS-2B cells. Glycyrrhizin significantly blocked the phosphorylation of Smad2/3 stimulated either by TGF-β1 or by ectopic HMGB1 in A549 and BEAS-2B cells. Conclusions HMGB1 is a vital mediator of EMT changes induced by TGF-β1 in lung epithelial cells. Importantly, glycyrrhizin can effectively block Smad2/3 signaling pathway through inhibiting HMGB1, thereby suppressing the EMT progress.
