Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are important components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and strongly associated with poor prognosis and drug resistance, including checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in solid tumor patients. However, the mechanism by which TAM affects immune metabolism reprogramming and immune checkpoint signalling pathway in the TME remains elusive. In this study we found that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) secreted by M2-TAMs increased the level of glycolysis in bladder cancer (BLCA) and played important role in PD-L1-mediated immune evasion through pyruvate kinase isoenzymes M2 (PKM2). Mechanistically, TGF-β promoted high expression of PKM2 by promoting the nuclear translocation of PKM2 dimer in conjunction with phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription (p-STAT3), which then exerted its kinase activity to promote PD-L1 expression in BLCA. Moreover, SB-431542 (TGF-β blocker) and shikonin (PKM2 inhibitor) significantly reduced PD-L1 expression and inhibited BLCA growth and organoids by enhancing anti-tumour immune responses. In conclusion, M2-TAM-derived TGF-β promotes PD-L1-mediated immune evasion in BLCA by increasing the PKM2 dimer-STAT3 complex nuclear translocation. Combined blockade of the TGF-β receptor and inhibition of PKM2 effectively prevent BLCA progression and immunosuppression, providing a potential targeted therapeutic strategy for BLCA.

Abstract
The purpose of this multicentre study was to evaluate the efficacy of the 'dredging-marsupialization-curettage' (D-M-C) strategy in the treatment of conventional intraosseous ameloblastoma of the mandible. A total of 31 patients from three institutions, who had a pathological diagnosis of conventional ameloblastoma of the mandible, were treated with the D-M-C strategy. The surgical protocol comprised a dredging and marsupialization (D-M) step, with additional D-M steps as required. The patients then underwent curettage (C) once an obvious effect of the D-M step had been achieved during follow-up. Eight patients were followed up for ≥36 months but <60 months, while 23 were followed up for ≥60 months. Nineteen of the 23 patients followed up for ≥60 months were disease-free at the last follow-up, with no evidence of recurrence. The D-M step is effective for reducing the tumour size and preserving vital structures. The D-M-C surgical strategy may be a feasible treatment option for conventional ameloblastoma of the mandible.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effects of early rehabilitation treatment after repair surgery of skin and soft tissue defects accompanied by extensor tendon injury on the back of hand. Methods: This study was a retrospective non-randomized controlled study. From February 2015 to February 2023, 24 patients (15 males and 9 females, aged 12-55 years) with skin and soft tissue defects accompanied by extensor tendon injury on the back of hand, who met the inclusion criteria and were repaired with flap transplantation and tendon grafting or tendon anastomosis, were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University. According to different intervention time for postoperative rehabilitation treatment of patients, the patients were divided into conventional rehabilitation group and early rehabilitation group, with 12 cases in each group. Patients in early rehabilitation group received rehabilitation treatment immediately after surgery under the rehabilitation guidance of specialized rehabilitation physicians based on the characteristics of different postoperative periods. Patients in conventional rehabilitation group began rehabilitation treatment from the third week after surgery, and their rehabilitation treatment was the same as that of patients in early rehabilitation group from the second week after surgery. The patients in 2 groups were treated in the hospital until the sixth week after surgery. The occurrence of flap vascular crisis and tendon rupture were observed within 6 weeks after surgery. After 6 weeks of surgery, the manual muscle test was used to measure the pinching force between the index finger and thumb, lateral pinching force, three-point pinching force, and grip force of the affected hand; the total action motion method was used to evaluate the finger joint range of motion of the affected hand, and the excellent and good ratio was calculated; the Carroll upper extremity function test was used to score and rate the function of the affected hand. Results: Within 6 weeks after surgery, only 1 patient in conventional rehabilitation group suffered from venous crisis, and the flap survived after the second surgical exploration and anastomosis of blood vessels; there was no occurrence of tendon rupture in patients of 2 groups. After 6 weeks of surgery, there were no statistically significant differences in pinching force between the index finger and thumb, lateral pinching force, three-point pinching force, or grip force of the affected hand between the two groups of patients (P>0.05); the excellent and good ratio of the finger joint range of motion of the affected hand of patients in early rehabilitation group was 11/12, which was higher than 7/12 in conventional rehabilitation group, but there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05); the affected hand function score of patients in early rehabilitation group was 90±6, which was significantly higher than 83±8 in conventional rehabilitation group (t=2.41, P<0.05); the function rating of the affected hand of patients in early rehabilitation group was obviously better than that in conventional rehabilitation group (Z=2.04, P<0.05). Conclusions: Early rehabilitation treatment for patients with skin and soft tissue defects accompanied by extensor tendon injury on the back of hand after repair surgery can improve hand function, but it would not increase surgery related complications, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of early debridement and conservative eschar removal followed by wound coverage with acellular dermal matrix (ADM), i.e., early surgery, in the treatment of children with deep burns. Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study. From January 2017 to December 2022, 278 deep burned hospitalized children aged 1-7 years who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University. According to the differences in treatment processes, 134 children who underwent early surgery+routine dressing change were enrolled in eschar removal+dressing change group (77 males and 57 females, aged 1 (1, 2) years), and 144 children who underwent only routine dressing change were enrolled in dressing change alone group (90 males and 54 females, aged 1 (1, 2) years). Fifty-one children without full-thickness burns in eschar removal+dressing change group were enrolled in eschar removal+dressing change group 1 (26 males and 25 females, aged 1 (1, 2) years), and 57 cases of the 83 children with full-thickness burns who did not undergo autologous skin grafting at the same time of early surgery (namely early skin grafting) in eschar removal+dressing change group were included in eschar removal+dressing change group 2 (37 males and 20 females, aged 1 (1, 2) years). Seventy-six children without full-thickness burns in dressing change alone group were included in dressing change alone group 1 (51 males and 25 females, aged 1 (1, 3) years), and 68 children with full-thickness burns in dressing change alone group were included in dressing change alone group 2 (39 males and 29 females, aged 1 (1, 2) years). For deep partial-thickness burn wounds and small full-thickness burn wounds in eschar removal+dressing change group, the eschar removal was performed on the basis of retaining a thin layer of denatured dermis so as to preserve the healthy tissue of the wound base, and ADM was applied to all wounds externally after eschar removal. For larger full-thickness burn wounds in this group, especially those located in the functional part of joints, eschar removal to the plane layer of viable tissue and early autologous skin grafting was needed. When the superficial wounds of children healed or tended to heal, the residual wounds were evaluated, and elective autologous skin grafting was performed if it was difficult to heal within 14 days. The healing time, intervention healing time, times of operation/dressing change, and times of intervention operation/dressing change in children with deep partial-thickness burn wounds of children in eschar removal+dressing change group, dressing change alone group, eschar removal+dressing change group 1, and dressing change alone group 1 were recorded. At the last follow-up (follow-up period was set to 7-12 months), the modified Vancouver scar scale (mVSS) scores of the most severe area of scar hyperplasia of healed deep partial-thickness burn wounds of 54 children in eschar removal+dressing change group and 48 children in dressing change alone group were recorded. The healing time and times of operation/dressing change of all burn wounds of children in eschar removal+dressing change group and dressing change alone group, and the healing time and times of operation/dressing change of full-thickness burn wounds of children in eschar removal+dressing change group 2 and dressing change alone group 2 were recorded. The incidences of wound infection, sepsis, fever, and fever after 5 days of burns in children of eschar removal+dressing change group and dressing change alone group during wound healing. Results: Compared with those in dressing change alone group, the healing time and intervention healing time were significantly shortened, and the times of operation/dressing change and times of intervention operation/dressing change were significantly reduced in children with deep partial-thickness burn wounds in eschar removal+dressing change group (with Z values of -11.00, -11.33, -12.64, and -11.65, respectively, P<0.05). Compared with those in dressing change alone group 1, the healing time and intervention healing time were significantly shortened, and the times of operation/dressing change and times of intervention operation/dressing change were significantly reduced in children with deep partial-thickness burn wounds in eschar removal+dressing change group 1 (with Z values of 6.57, 6.46, 8.04, and 6.57, respectively, P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the mVSS score of the most severe scar hyperplasia area of healed deep partial-thickness burn wounds of 54 children in eschar removal+dressing change group was 4.00 (3.00,5.00), which was significantly lower than 6.50 (5.00,7.00) of 48 children in dressing change alone group (Z =-4.67, P<0.05).Compared with those in dressing change alone group, the healing time was significantly shortened, and times of operation/dressing change was significantly reduced in all burn wounds in eschar removal+dressing change group (with Z values of -5.20 and -6.34, respectively, P<0.05). Compared with those in dressing change alone group 2, the healing time was significantly shortened, and times of operation/dressing change was significantly reduced in full-thickness burn wounds in eschar removal+dressing change group 2 (with Z values of -5.22 and -5.73, respectively, P<0.05). During wound healing, the probabilities of fever and fever after 5 days of burns in children of eschar removal+dressing change group were significantly lower than those in dressing change alone group (with χ2 values of 4.13 and 3.91, respectively, P<0.05); only 1 child in dressing change alone group developed sepsis, and there was no statistically significant difference in the wound infection rate of children in the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: For children with deep burns, early surgery, and early skin grafting or elective autologous skin grafting as needed, have better short-term and long-term effects than those without early surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of degenerative thoracolumbar kyphosis (DTLK) on the sagittal alignment of the spine, as well as the impact on spinal parameters and imbalance secondary to thoracolumbar kyphosis. Methods: A case-control study. A total of 128 DTLK patients who aged over 50 years [thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK)>15°] treated in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 (DTLK group) were retrospectively included in this study. Other 73 contemporaneous patients with lumbar spinal stenosis or disc herniation without thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK=0°±15°) were enrolled into the control group. The following parameters were obtained on spine X-ray: TLK, thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA). In addition, the osteoporosis (OP) was evaluated by dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and the L5/S1 disc signal grading (Pfirrmann grading) was evaluated on MRI. Based on the age, the Lafage formula SVA=2× (age-55)+25 was used to distinguish balance/imbalance, and the DTLK patients were divided into balanced and an imbalanced group, the characteristics and influencing factors of the loss of sagittal balance in this population were clarified, and the interaction among various parts of the spine under a state of balance was analyzed too. Results: The TK (30.0°±13.5° vs 24.2°±7.4°) and TLK (26.6°±9.7° vs 6.0°±6.6°) in the DTLK group were both larger than those in control group while LL was smaller (34.4°±17.7° vs 44.2°±10.3°) (all P<0.001). TK was correlated to TLK (r=0.234, P=0.008) and LL (r=0.539, P<0.001) in DTLK group. LL loss was positively correlated to L5/S1 disc signal reduction (r=0.253, P=0.044). LL loss [RR=1.04(1.01-1.08)] and OP [RR=3.97(1.09, 14.50)] were influencing factors for the occurrence of imbalance in DTLK patients. The influencing factors for TK in DTLK balance group were LL (β=0.572, P<0.001) and age (β=0.351, P=0.045). The positive influencing factor for TK in imbalanced group is LL (β=0.209, P=0.015), and the impact is weaker than balanced group. Conclusions: Loss of LL and osteoporosis are more likely to cause imbalance and kyphosis in DTLK patients. In DTLK balance group, the proximal spine is regulated by lumbar spine, and the synergistic effect between the two parts maintains balance.

Abstract
The low oxygen environment of the periodontal pocket favors pathogenic anaerobes' growth, biofilm formation, and quick recurrence after periodontal treatment. In contrast, oxygen is detrimental to anaerobes, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), since they lack a complete anti-oxidation mechanism to detoxify the oxygen challenge. Therefore, consistently feeding pathogenic anaerobes with abundant oxygen would be an effective strategy to combat them. Here, we reported injectable oxygen-generating hydrogels as oxygen mediators to alleviate the local anaerobic environment and eliminate periodontal pathogens. Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels loaded with calcium peroxide (CPO) possessed excellent injectability and exhibited burst releases of oxygen within 24 h with a 40 % oxygen tension peak. CPO-GelMA hydrogels with CPO concentrations of 5, 10, and 15 % reduced 60, 99, and 89.9 % viable P. gingivalis, respectively. Five percentage CPO-GelMA hydrogel downregulated gingipain and fimA gene expression in P. gingivalis without resistance development. Moreover, the CPO-GelMA hydrogels remarkably prevented biofilm formation and eradicated both monospecies and multispecies bacterial biofilms. In conclusion, CPO-GelMA hydrogels exert remarkable antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects on subgingival biofilms, providing a promising strategy for periodontal treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cancer are at an increased risk of developing a hypercoagulative phenotype and venous thromboembolism. However, no clinical trial has yet confirmed that anticoagulant therapy improves cancer prognosis, and the mechanism underlying hypercoagulation in patients with bladder cancer is not well understood. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that the prognostic genes affect tumor progression via tumor-mediated coagulation. METHODS We detected the most significant prognostic genes of bladder cancer with The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset and validated them in 2 Gene Expression Omnibus datasets and 1 ArrayExpress dataset. Immunohistochemical tests were performed on a cohort of 80 individuals to further examine the prognostic genes. For the most reliable prognostic gene, its influence on coagulation was evaluated with gene knockdown followed by next-generation sequencing and cellular and animal experiments. RESULTS Depletion of microtubule interacting and trafficking domain containing 1 (MITD1), a major prognostic gene of bladder cancer, significantly increased the tissue factor (TF) expression. MITD1 deficiency led to cytokinesis arrest, which, in turn, promoted the TF expression via unfolded protein response and c-Jun. The knockdown of IRE1, an essential kinase of unfolded protein response or the inactivation of c-Jun using c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitors weakened MITD1 deficiency- or dithiothreitol-induced TF upregulation. Cells lacking MITD1 promoted coagulation and metastasis in the experimental metastasis assay. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest the novel role of tumor prognostic genes upon the development of hypercoagulative phenotype and venous thromboembolism, thereby underlining the importance of anticoagulant therapy and shedding light on the therapeutic value of targeting MITD1 in bladder cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES During human pregnancy placental extravillous trophoblasts replace the vascular smooth muscle and elastic tissue within the walls of the uterine spiral arteries, thereby remodeling these arteries into distensible low resistance vessels to promote placental perfusion. The present study, determined whether B-flow/ spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) M-mode ultrasonography provides an in vivo imaging method to digitally quantify spiral artery luminal distensibility, as a physiological index of spiral artery remodeling, during advancing stages of normal human pregnancy. METHODS A prospective longitudinal observational study was conducted to quantify spiral artery distensibility, i.e. vessel luminal diameter at systole minus diameter at diastole, by B-flow/STIC M-mode ultrasonography during the first, second and third trimesters in 290 women exhibiting normal pregnancy. Maternal serum levels of placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1), growth factors that modulate events important in spiral artery remodeling, were quantified in a subset of the subjects at the first, second and third semesters. RESULTS Median [first quartile, third quartile] spiral artery distensibility progressively increased (P < 0.0001) between the first trimester (0.17 [0.14, 0.21]), second (0.23 [0.18, 0.28]) and third (0.26 [0.21, 0.35]) trimesters of pregnancy. Spiral artery volume flow (ml/cardiac cycle) progressively increased (P < 0.001) between the first 2.49 [1.38, 4.99], second 3.86 [2.06, 6.91] and third 7.79 [3.83, 14.98] trimesters. Coinciding with the elevation in spiral artery distensibility, the median ratio of serum PlGF/sFlt-1 levels increased (P < 0.001) between the first (7.2 [4.5, 10], second (22.7 [18.6, 42.2]) and third (56.2 [41.9, 92.5] trimesters. CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that B-flow/STIC M-mode ultrasonography provides an in vivo imaging technology to digitally quantify structural/physiological expansion of the walls of the spiral arteries during the cardiac cycle as a consequence of their transformation into compliant vessels during advancing stages of normal human pregnancy.

Abstract
We reported a case of 73-year-old male with multiple pulmonary nodules and cavities. The patient was admitted with a chief complaint of "dry cough with shortness of breath for 3 months". Chest CT showed multiple irregular masses, nodules, and patchy lesions in both lungs, accompanied by the formation of cavities. He also had anemia and renal dysfunction. Despite given empirical anti-infective and anti-tuberculosis treatments, the pulmonary nodules progressed, and the cavities enlarged. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) were negative twice. Bronchoscopic biopsy was performed. The mucosal pathology of the right middle lobe lesion showed little necrosis, focal granulomatous structure formation, and relevant vasculitis and remaining vessel wall structure in the necrosis lesions by elastic fiber staining. A clinical diagnosis of ANCA-negative necrotizing granulomatous polyangiitis was made and the patient was treated with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide. The nodules and cavities shrank, and some lesions were absorbed.

Abstract
The entorhinal cortex is involved in establishing enduring visuo-auditory associative memory in the neocortex. Here we explored the mechanisms underlying this synaptic plasticity related to projections from the visual and entorhinal cortices to the auditory cortex in mice using optogenetics of dual pathways. High-frequency laser stimulation (HFS laser) of the visuo-auditory projection did not induce long-term potentiation. However, after pairing with sound stimulus, the visuo-auditory inputs were potentiated following either infusion of cholecystokinin (CCK) or HFS laser of the entorhino-auditory CCK-expressing projection. Combining retrograde tracing and RNAscope in situ hybridization, we show that Cck expression is higher in entorhinal cortex neurons projecting to the auditory cortex than in those originating from the visual cortex. In the presence of CCK, potentiation in the neocortex occurred when the presynaptic input arrived 200 ms before postsynaptic firing, even after just five trials of pairing. Behaviorally, inactivation of the CCK+ projection from the entorhinal cortex to the auditory cortex blocked the formation of visuo-auditory associative memory. Our results indicate that neocortical visuo-auditory association is formed through heterosynaptic plasticity, which depends on release of CCK in the neocortex mostly from entorhinal afferents.

Abstract
Homoyessotoxin (homo-YTX) and nitrite (NO2-N), released during harmful dinoflagellate cell lysis adversely affect abalones. However, their toxicity mechanisms in shellfish remain unclear. This study investigated the economic abalone species Haliotis discus hannai exposed to varying concentrations of homo-YTX (0, 2, 5, and 10 µg L-1) and NO2-N (0, 3, and 6 mg L-1) on the basis of their 12 h LC50 values (5.05 µg L-1 and 4.25 mg L-1, respectively) and the environmentally relevant dissolved concentrations during severe dinoflagellate blooms, including mixtures. The test abalones were exposed to homo-YTX and NO2-N for 12 h. The mortality rate (D), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, antioxidant defense capabilities, and expression levels of antioxidant-related, Hsp-related, and apoptosis-related genes in abalone gills were assessed. Results showed that the combined exposure to homo-YTX and NO2-N increased the D and ROS levels and upregulated B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2)-associated X (BAX) and caspase3 (CASP3) expression levels while reducing glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and GPx, CuZnSOD, and BCL2 expression levels. High concentrations of homo-YTX (10 µg L-1) and NO2-N (6 mg L-1) solutions and the combinations of these toxicants inhibited the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and downregulated the expression levels of MnSOD, CAT, Hsp70, and Hsp90. The ROS levels were negatively correlated with the activities of SOD, CAT, and GPx and the expression levels of MnSOD, CuZnSOD, CAT, GPx, Hsp70, Hsp90, and BCL2. These results suggest that homo-YTX, in conjunction with NO2-N, induces oxidative stress, disrupts antioxidant defense systems, and triggers caspase-dependent apoptosis in the gills of abalone. ROS-mediated antioxidative and heat-shock responses and apoptosis emerge as potential toxicity mechanisms affecting the survival of H. discus hannai due to homo-YTX and NO2-N exposure.

Abstract
This study explores the effects and possible mechanisms of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (NRF2) on ovarian granulosa cells, providing a scientific basis to prevent premature ovarian failure. An ovarian cell injury model was constructed by treating human ovarian granulosa cell (KGN cell) with 4-Vinylcyclohexene dioxide (VCD). Firstly, KGN cells were treated with different concentrations of VCD, and cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect ovarian cell proliferation. After determining IC50 by CCK8, the levels of estradiol and progesterone in the cell supernatant were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay kit was used to detect the content of ROS in ovarian cells, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression level of NRF2, and Western blot was used to detect the protein expression level of NRF2. Further, NRF2 silence (siNRF2) and overexpression (NRF2-OE) cell models were constructed through lentivirus transfection, and the effects of regulating NRF2 on VCD treated cell models were investigated by detecting hormone levels, oxidative stress indicators (ROS, SOD, GSH-Px), and autophagy (LC3B level). The results showed that VCD intervention inhibited the proliferation of ovarian granulosa cells in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner (F>100, P<0.05), with an IC50 of 1.2 mmol/L at 24 hours. After VCD treatment, the level of estradiol in the cell supernatant decreased from (56.32±10.18) ng/ml to (24.59±8.75) ng/ml (t=5.78, P<0.05). Progesterone decreased from (50.25±7.03) ng/ml to (25.13±6.67) ng/ml (t=6.54, P<0.05). After VCD treatment, the SOD of cells decreased from (44.47±7.71) ng/ml to (30.92±4.97) ng/ml (t=3.61, P<0.05). GSH-Px decreased from (68.51±10.17) ng/ml to (35.19±6.59) ng/ml (t=5.73, P<0.05). Simultaneously accompanied by an increase in autophagy and a decrease in NRF2. This study successfully constructed KGN cell models that silenced NRF2 and overexpressed NRF2. Subsequently, this study treated each group of cells with VCD and found that the cell proliferation activity of the siNRF2 group was significantly reduced (t=8.37, P<0.05), while NRF2-OE could reverse the cell activity damage caused by VCD (t=3.37, P<0.05). The siNRF2 group had the lowest level of estradiol (t=5.78, P<0.05), while NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in cellular estradiol levels caused by VCD (t=5.58, P<0.05). The siNRF2 group had the lowest progesterone levels (t=3.02, P<0.05), while NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in cellular progesterone levels caused by VCD (t=2.41, P<0.05). The ROS level in the siNRF2 group was the highest (t=2.86, P<0.05), NRF2-OE could reverse the increase in ROS caused by VCD (t=3.14, P<0.05), the SOD enzyme content in the siNRF2 group was the lowest (t=2.98, P<0.05), and NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in SOD enzyme content caused by VCD (t=4.72, P<0.05). The GSH-Px enzyme content in the siNRF2 group was the lowest (t=3.67, P<0.05), and NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in antioxidant enzyme content caused by VCD (t=2.71, P<0.05). The LC3B level was highest in the siNRF2 group (t=2.45, P<0.05), and NRF2-OE was able to reverse the LC3B elevation caused by VCD (t=9.64, P<0.05). In conclusion, NRF2 inhibits ROS induced autophagy, thereby playing a role in reducing ovarian granulosa cell damage, which may be a potential target for premature ovarian failure.

Abstract
Rationale: Renal fibrosis, with no therapeutic approaches, is a common pathological feature in various chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Tubular cell injury plays a pivotal role in renal fibrosis. Commonly, injured tubular cells exhibit significant lipid accumulation. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Methods: 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) levels in CKD patients and CKD model specimens were measured using mass spectrometry. 2-AG-loaded nanoparticles were infused into unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice. Lipid accumulation and renal fibrosis were tested. Furthermore, monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), the hydrolyzing enzyme of 2-AG, was assessed in CKD patients and models. Tubular cell-specific MAGL knock-in mice were generated. Moreover, MAGL recombination protein was also administered to unilateral ischemia reperfusion injury (UIRI) mice. Besides, a series of methods including RNA sequencing, metabolomics, primary cell culture, lipid staining, etc. were used. Results: 2-AG was increased in the serum or kidneys from CKD patients and models. Supplement of 2-AG further induced lipid accumulation and fibrogenesis through cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2)/β-catenin signaling. β-catenin knockout blocked 2-AG/CB2-induced fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) deficiency and lipid accumulation. Remarkably, MAGL significantly decreased in CKD, aligning with lipid accumulation and fibrosis. Specific transgene of MAGL in tubular cells significantly preserved FAO, inhibited lipid-mediated toxicity in tubular cells, and finally retarded fibrogenesis. Additionally, supplementation of MAGL in UIRI mice also preserved FAO function, inhibited lipid accumulation, and protected against renal fibrosis. Conclusion: MAGL is a potential diagnostic marker for kidney function decline, and also serves as a new therapeutic target for renal fibrosis through ameliorating lipotoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the presence and subtypes of tertiary lymphatic structures (TLSs) in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) and to analyze their associated clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic significance. METHODS The study enrolled 580 patients with surgically treated UCB, including 313 non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and 267 muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The presence and subtypes of TLSs were identified by immunohistochemistry (CD20, CD3, Bcl-6, and CD21). TLSs were classified into non-GC (nGC) TLS and GC TLS subtypes based on germinal center (GC) formation. Disease-free survival (DFS) was used as an endpoint outcome to evaluate the prognostic significance of TLS and its subtypes in UCB. RESULTS TLSs were more common in MIBC than in NMIBC (67.8% vs 48.2%, P < .001), and the tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) mean density was significantly higher in MIBC than in NMIBC (24.0% vs 17.5%, P < .001). Moreover, a positive correlation was found between TLS presence and GC structure formation and TIL infiltration in UCB. Endpoint events occurred in 191 patients. Compared to patients with endpoint events, patients without disease progression exhibited higher TIL density and more TLSs (P < .05). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that TLS was associated with better DFS in NMIBC (P = .041) and MIBC (P = .049). However, the Cox multivariate analysis did not demonstrate the prognostic significance of TLS. CONCLUSIONS TLS is heterogeneous in UCB, and that TLS and GC structures are related to TIL density and prognostic events. However, TLS as a prognostic indicator remains unclear, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Adding dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) to vascular endothelial cell-formed vessel-like structures can increase the longevity of these vessel networks. DPSCs display pericyte-like cell functions and closely assemble endothelial cells (ECs). However, the mechanisms of DPSC-derived pericyte-like cells in stabilizing the vessel networks are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the functions of E-DPSCs, which were DPSCs isolated from the direct coculture of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and DPSCs, and T-DPSCs, which were DPSCs treated by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), in stabilizing blood vessels in vitro and in vivo. A 3-dimensional coculture spheroid sprouting assay was conducted to compare the functions of E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs in vitro. Dental pulp angiogenesis in the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse model was used to explore the roles of E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs in vascularization in vivo. The results demonstrated that both E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs possess smooth muscle cell-like cell properties, exhibiting higher expression of the mural cell-specific markers and the suppression of HUVEC sprouting. E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs inhibited HUVEC sprouting by activating TEK tyrosine kinase (Tie2) signaling, upregulating vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, and downregulating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). In vivo study revealed more perfused and total blood vessels in the HUVEC + E-DPSC group, HUVEC + T-DPSC group, angiopoietin 1 (Ang1) pretreated group, and vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP) inhibitor pretreated group, compared to HUVEC + DPSC group. In conclusion, these data indicated that E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs could stabilize the newly formed blood vessels and accelerate their perfusion. The critical regulating pathways are Ang1/Tie2/VE-cadherin and VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling.

Abstract
Serious dinoflagellate blooms produce homoyessotoxin (homo-YTX) and ammonia (NH3-N) in eutrophic seawaters, posing threats to the healthy development of the mariculture industry. This study aimed to explore the toxicity mechanism of homo-YTX and NH3-N on the survival of abalone, which is important for the ecotoxicological research and cultivation of shellfish. The economy abalone Haliotis discus hannai was placed in homo-YTX (0, 2, 5, and 10 μg L-1) and NH3-N (0, 1.08, and 3.16 mg L-1) and a mixture of the two compounds to determine the survival rate (S), antioxidative responses, physiological activities, and apoptosis of abalone. Results show that the combination of homo-YTX and NH3-N increased the reactive oxygen species level, the malondialdehyde content, and the expression level of BCL2-associated X but decreased S; the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, adenosine triphosphatase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, xanthine oxidase, lactate dehydrogenase, and lysozyme; and the expression level of B-cell lymphoma-2. The activities of alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase in 10 μg L-1 of homo-YTX and 3.16 mg L-1 of NH3-N solutions and in the mixture of the two toxicants decreased. The caspase3 expression level was downregulated in 10 μg L-1 of homo-YTX. These results suggest that homo-YTX and NH3-N enhanced the oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation reactions, inhibited the energy supply, disrupted the metabolic and immune physiological functions, and activated apoptosis in the gills of abalone. ROS-mediated physiological activities and apoptosis were among the potential toxicity mechanisms of the interactive effects of homo-YTX and NH3-N on abalone.

Abstract
Objective Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess excellent antibacterial effects on periodontal pathogens, but their clinical application is limited mainly due to their cytotoxicity through inducing oxidative stress in human cells. Ebselen disrupts the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging in bacteria and relieves oxidative stress in mammalian cells. This study aimed to assess the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of AgNPs and ebselen as well as the protective effect of ebselen, to further provide the theoretical basis for their future application in periodontal treatment. Methods The antibacterial and anti-biofilm effects of the synthesized AgNPs combined with ebselen were assessed on Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), Streptococcus gordonii (S. gordonii), and Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) in planktonic condition and as biofilms. In addition, the intracellular bactericidal efficiency of AgNPs and ebselen was evaluated in P. gingivalis-infected human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). The cytotoxicity, intracellular ROS levels, and potential antioxidative enzymes were detected in HGFs treated with AgNPs and ebselen. Further, the anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results The combination of AgNPs and ebselen showed excellent antibacterial effects against planktonic P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum and synergistic antibiofilm effects on all mono- and multi-species biofilms. In addition, ebselen significantly enhanced the intracellular bactericidal efficiency of AgNPs. Furthermore, ebselen combined with up to 20 μg/mL AgNPs showed no obvious cytotoxicity to HGFs. Evidently, ebselen alleviated the AgNPs-induced ROS by increasing the levels of glutathione and superoxide dismutase 2. Moreover, AgNPs and ebselen together declined the release of P. gingivalis-stimulated inflammatory cytokines both in vitro and in vivo, and reduced alveolar bone resorption effectively. Conclusion AgNPs combined with ebselen would be an effective adjuvant for periodontal treatment owing to their synergistic antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the efficacy of myocardial protection with single-dose histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) cardioplegia during aortic root operation, and the correlation between short-term clinical outcomes and duration of myocardial ischemia. Methods: The data of clinical cases undergoing myocardial protection with single-dose HTK cardioplegia during aortic root operation from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into conventional HTK cardioplegia group (<3 h) and prolonged HTK cardioplegia group (≥3 h) according to duration of intraoperative myocardial ischemia. A 1∶1 propensity score matching was performed and the correlations between duration of myocardial ischemia and postoperative short-term outcomes (30-day mortality, readmission, mechanical circulation support and renal insufficiency) were analyzed. Results: A total of 282 patients were included in the final analysis, with 210 cases in the conventional HTK cardioplegia group and 72 cases inthe prolonged HTK cardioplegia group before matching. After matching, there were 64 cases (53 males and 11 females) in the conventional HTK cardioplegia group, with a mean age of (49.4±14.2) years. The prolonged HTK cardioplegia group had 64 cases (55 males and 9 females), with a mean age of (50.5±12.3) years. Higher sensitivity troponin [12 h: 10.1 (4.6, 18.7) μg/Lvs 4.1(2.2, 8.6) μg/L, P=0.002; 24 h: 7.7 (4.5, 19.0) μg/L vs 4.8 (2.2, 11.9) μg/L, P=0.025] and creatine kinase isoenzyme[12 h: 46.3 (28.1, 62.4) μg/L vs 20.7(14.1, 32.9) μg/L, P<0.001; 24 h: 26.3(13.4, 49.2) μg/L vs 14.5 (10.1, 33.5)μg/L, P=0.011] after surgery was detected in prolonged HTK cardioplegia group. Comparisons of other primary and secondary endpoint events showed no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression showed that duration of myocardial ischemia had no significant effect on postoperative 30-day mortality (OR=1.255, 95%CI: 0.500-3.148, P=0.629), 30-day readmission (OR=0.378, 95%CI: 0.069-2.065, P=0.261) and mechanical circulation support (OR=0.991, 95%CI: 0.331-2.970, P=0.998). Conclusion: During aortic root surgery, single-dose HTK cardioplegia may provide satisfactory myocardial protection, and there was no significant correlation between duration of myocardial ischemia and short-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of artificial dermis combined with autologous skin in repairing the wounds with exposed bone and/or tendon in fingers of children after electric burns. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2017 to December 2022, 14 children with bone and/or tendon exposed wounds in fingers after electric burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 9 males and 5 females, aged 2 to 11 years. A total of 38 fingers were affected, with 1 wound per finger. After debridement, artificial dermal coverage combined with vacuum sealing drainage was performed in all the wounds in the first stage, with wound area of 2.0 cm×1.0 cm-4.5 cm×2.5 cm after debridement. The second stage surgery was performed to close the wound with autologous thin intermediate thickness skin graft. Then the children were told to perform functional rehabilitation exercise as early as possible. The survival of autologous skin graft was observed at the 7th day after the second stage surgery. The wound healing time was recorded. After 12 months of follow-up, the Vancouver scar scale was used to evaluate the scar hyperplasia at the skin grafting site of the affected finger; the total action mobility (TAM) of the affected finger joint was measured for evaluating the functional recovery of the affected finger; a self-made efficacy satisfaction rating table was used to investigate the parents' satisfaction with the curative effect of the children. Results: At the 7th day after the second stage surgery, all the children had good survival of autologous skin grafts. The wound healing time was (24.1±2.7) d. After 12 months of follow-up, the scar score at the skin grafting site of the affected finger was 5.2±2.4; the TAM of the affected finger joint was (177±40)°; the functional assessment was good in 12 fingers, medium in 23 fingers, and poor in 3 fingers; the parents' satisfaction with the curative effect of the children in the survey was very satisfied in 10 cases, satisfied in 3 cases, and dissatisfied in 1 case. Conclusions: The combination of artificial dermis and autologous thin intermediate thickness skin graft is an alternative surgical method that can effectively repair the bone and/or tendon exposed wounds in fingers of children after electric burns. After wound healing, the scars are slight, the finger function is well recovered, and the parents of the children are highly satisfied with the curative effect of the children, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
Research shows an association between vaginal microbiota and the development of cervical cancer, but the role of altered microbiota in cancer development remains controversial. In this study, we attempted to reveal the vaginal microecological changes in cervical lesions by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Vaginal secretions were collected from Hakka women in Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, China. The diversity, composition and the correlations among species of the vaginal microbiota were determined by sequencing the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. The microbial functional abundance was detected via KEGG and COG (Clusters of Orthologous Groups). The results showed that the Cancer group was characterised by evident changes in the composition of the vaginal microbiota, increased alpha diversity, and altered community structure distribution and microbial interaction network. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size showed that 21 bacterial species were abundant in the Cancer group. In addition, the loss of Lactobacillus stimulated other flora proliferation, resulting in a microecological disturbance. KEGG and COG analysis indicated the cancer group is mainly concentrated in energy metabolism. In short, the vaginal microecology of Hakka women in Meizhou City presents with different degrees of cervical lesions, and the flora imbalance is an important factor in the development of cervical cancer.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies worldwide and has become a prominent public health problem.What the results of this study add? Our study showed that the type of vaginal community status of Hakka women in Meizhou area was characterised by L. Iners predominates, and the gradual loss of Lactobacillus dominance in vaginal bacteria is key to microecological imbalance.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Disturbances in vaginal microecology can stimulate energy metabolism and lipid metabolism to induce cervical cancer development.

Abstract
Choline requirements for dairy cattle are unknown. However, enhanced postruminal supply of choline may increase flux through the methionine cycle to spare Met for other functions such as protein synthesis and phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis during periods of negative nutrient balance (NNB). The objective was to investigate the effects of postruminal choline supply during a feed restriction-induced NNB on hepatic abundance and phosphorylation of mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin)-related signaling proteins, hepatic lipidome and plasma AA. Ten primiparous rumen-cannulated Holstein cows (158 ± 24 DIM) were used in a replicated 5 × 5 Latin square design with 4 d of treatment and 10 d of recovery (14 d/period). Treatments were unrestricted intake with abomasal infusion of water, restricted intake (R; 60% of net energy for lactation requirements to induce NNB) with abomasal infusion of water (R0) or restriction plus abomasal infusion of 6.25, 12.5, or 25 g/d choline ion. Liver tissue was collected via biopsy on d 5 after infusions ended and used for Western blot analysis to measure proteins involved in mTOR signaling and untargeted lipidomics. Blood was collected on d 1 to 5 for plasma AA analysis. Statistical contrasts for protein and AA data were A0 versus R0 (CONT1), R0 versus the average of choline dose (CONT2) and tests of linear and quadratic effects of choline dose. Analysis of lipidomic data were performed with the web-based metabolomic processing tool MetaboAnalyst 5.0. Ratios of p-RPS6KB1:tRPS6KB1, p-EEF2:tEEF2, and p-EIF2:tEIF2 were greater with R (CONT1). Among those, supply of choline led to decreases in p-EEF2:tEEF2 (CONT2), p-EIF2:tEIF2 and tended to decrease p-EIF4BP1:tEIF4BP1. However, the effect was quadratic only for p-EEF2:tEEF2 and p-EIF2A:tEIF2A, reaching a nadir at 6.25 to 12.5 g/d choline ion. The ratio of p-RPS6KB1:tRPS6KB1 was not affected by supply of choline and was close to 2-fold greater at 25 g/d choline versus A0. Plasma Met concentration decreased with R (CONT1), but increased linearly with choline. Restriction also increased plasma 3-methyl-histidine (CONT1). The partial least squares discriminant analysis model of liver lipids distinguished treatments, with 13.4% of lipids being modified by treatment. One-way ANOVA identified 109 lipids with a false discovery rate ≤0.05. The largest group identified was PC species; all 35 detected decreased with R versus A0, but there were few differences among choline treatments. Overall, data suggested that dephosphorylation of EEF2 and EIF2A due to enhanced choline supply potentially helped maintain or increase protein synthesis during NNB. While activation of mTOR was not altered by choline, this idea of increased protein synthesis is partly supported by the increased circulating Met. However, enhanced postruminal choline had limited effects on the species of lipid produced during a period of NNB.

Abstract
The medicinal plant Sophora tonkinensis is a characteristic Chinese shrub of karst areas. The arid climate in karst areas produces high-quality S. tonkinensis; however, the mechanisms of drought tolerance are not clear, which restricts sustainable plantings of S. tonkinensis. This study involved a 20-day drought stress experiment with potted S. tonkinensis and threee soil water regimes: control (CK), mild drought (MDT), and severe drought (SDT). Plant morphology, biomass, physiological indicators, alkaloid content, and other changes under drought stress were monitored. The content of soluble sugars and proteins, and activity of antioxidant enzymes in leaves and roots were higher under drought than CK, indicating that S. tonkinensis is tolerant to osmotic stress in early drought stages. Content of matrine and oxymatrine increased gradually with increasing drought duration in the short term. The epidermis of S. tonkinensis leaves have characteristics of desert plants, including upper epidermal waxy layer, lower epidermal villi, and relatively sunken stomata, suggesting that S. tonkinensis has strong drought tolerance. In conclusion, drought stress changed the cell structure of S. tonkinensis, induced antioxidant enzyme activity and increased its resistance to drought.

Abstract
AIM To develop a simple and convenient method based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical features to non-invasively predict tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancer (BC) and to explore the relationship between TIL levels and disease-free survival (DFS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 172 BC patients were enrolled between November 2017 and June 2021 in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into high (≥10%) and low (<10%) TIL groups. Clinicopathological data were collected. MRI features were reviewed by two radiologists. Predictors associated with TILs were determined by using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Kaplan-Meier survival curves based on TIL levels were used to estimate DFS. RESULTS A total of 102 patients with low TILs and 70 patients with high TILs were included in the study. Tumour size (odds ratio [OR], 1.040; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.006, 1.075; p=0.020), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC; OR, 1.003; 95% CI: 1.001, 1.005; p=0.015), clinical axillary lymph node status (CALNS; OR, 3.222; 95% CI: 1.372,7.568; p=0.007), and enhancement pattern (OR, 0.284; 95% CI: 0.143, 0.563; p<0.001) were independently associated with TIL levels. These features were used in the ALSE model (where A is ADC, L is CALNS, S is size, and E is enhancement pattern). High TILs were associated with better DFS (p=0.016). CONCLUSION The ALSE model derived from multiparametric MRI and clinical features could non-invasively predict TIL levels in BC, and high TILs were associated with longer DFS, especially in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive BC and triple-negative BC (TNBC).

Abstract
Solid tumors are characterized by enhanced metabolism of lipid, particularly cholesterol, inspiring the exploration of metabolic therapy through cholesterol oxidase (COD)-mediated cholesterol deprivation. However, the therapeutic efficacy of COD is limited due to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and the protective autophagy triggered by cholesterol deprivation. Herein, a combination therapy for metabolically treating solid tumors through COD in conjunction with molybdenum oxide nanodots (MONDs), which serve as both potent oxygen generators and autophagy inhibitors, is reported. MONDs convert H2 O2 (arising from COD-mediated cholesterol oxidation) into O2 , which is then recycled by COD to form reciprocal feedback for cholesterol depletion. Concurrently, MONDs can overcome autophagy-induced therapeutic resistance frequently occurring in conventional nutrient deprivation therapy by activating AKT/mTOR pathway phosphorylation. Combination therapy in the xenograft model results in an ≈5-fold increase in therapeutic efficiency as compared with COD treatment alone. This functionally cooperative metabolic coupling strategy holds great promise as a novel polytherapy approach that will benefit patients with solid tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the predominant stromal cell of tumor microenvironment (TME), play an important role in tumor progression and immunoregulation by remodeling extracellular matrix (ECM) and secreting cytokines. However, little is known about the details of the underlying mechanism in bladder cancer. METHODS Bioinformatics analysis was performed to analyze the prognostic value of CAFs and CXCL12 using GEO, TCGA and SRA databases. The effects of CXCL12 on bladder cancer progression were investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays. The biological mechanism of the effect of CXCL12 on PDL1 were investigated using western blotting, immunoprecipitation, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, mass spectrometry, protein stability, and flow cytometry. RESULTS The results demonstrated that CAFs-derived CXCL12 promoted cancer cell migration and invasion and upregulated PDL1. Mechanistically, upon binding to its specific receptor, CXCL12 activated the downstream JAK2/STAT3 pathway and rapidly up-regulated the expression of deubiquitinase CYLD. CYLD deubiquitinated P62 causing P62 accumulation, which in turn inhibited the autophagic degradation of PDL1. In vivo experiments demonstrated that blocking CXCL12 inhibited tumor growth, reduced tumor PDL1 expression and increased immune cell infiltration. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed a novel mechanism for the role of CXCL12 in P62-mediated PDL1 autophagic regulation. Combined application of CXCL12 receptor blocker and PD1/PDL1 blocker can more effectively inhibit PDL1 expression and enhance antitumor immune response. Targeting CAFs-derived CXCL12 may provide an effective strategy for immunotherapy in bladder cancer.

Abstract
ALDH1A1 is one of the classical stem cell markers for bladder cancer. Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) is a newfound modification to modulate the protein expression, and the underlying mechanisms of how ALDH1A1 was regulated by Khib modification in bladder cancer remains unknown. Here, ALDH1A1 showed a decreased K260hib modification, as identified by protein modification omics in bladder cancer. Decreasing ALDH1A1 expression significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells. Moreover, K260hib modification is responsible for the activity of ALDH1A1 in bladder cancer, which is regulated by HDAC2/3. Higher K260hib modification on ALDH1A1 promotes protein degradation through chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), and ALDH1A1 K260hib could sensitize bladder cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. Higher ALDH1A1 expression with a lower K260hib modification indicates a poor prognosis in patients with bladder cancer. Overall, we demonstrated that K260hib of ALDH1A1 can be used as a potential therapeutic target for bladder cancer treatment.

Abstract
The polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild p_{T} dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and p_{T} dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.

Abstract
To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment status of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children in the outpatient department of a children's hospital in Beijing from 2015 to 2019. This study used a cross-sectional study method to retrospectively analyze the data of AD patients who visited the Dermatology outpatient department of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, from April 2015 to April 2019. A total of 1 926 AD patients aged 0-17.5 years old living in Beijing and its surrounding areas were included, and the general situation, severity and distribution of AD disease, clinical characteristics and severity of AD, relevant influencing factors of AD onset, AD disease prognosis and treatment status were recorded. SAS 9.4, SPSS19.0, and R software were used for data processing, and descriptive statistical analysis, Chi-square test, Analysis of Variance, and correspondence analysis were used for statistical analysis. The results showed that the male to female ratio of AD patients in children included in this study was 1.4∶1; 79.0% (1 522/1 926), 86.1%(1 658/1 926), 91.3%(1 758/1 926), and 97.3%(1 907/1 926) of AD onset at the age of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years, respectively; mild of AD patients accounted for 13.2% (255/1 926)(SCORAD score 0-24), moderate of AD patients accounted for 50.1%(965/1 926) (SCORAD score 25-50), and severe of AD patients accounted for 36.7% (706/1 926)(SCORAD score>50).The age of severe AD patients were younger than mild and moderate AD patients. The face, head, trunk, and lower limbs were common areas of onset for moderate to severe AD, while the hands, feet, and ears were common areas of onset for severe AD patients. Temperature changes, hot water factors, mental and emotional states, and spring and winter were the main aggravation factors of AD;35.2% (678/1 926) aggravated and 61.8% (1 191/1 926) persistent. The more frequent bathing, the less severity of AD disease (χ2=29.791,P<0.001); 28.0% (520/1 856) of AD patients have no moisturizing habits, which were correlated with the severity of AD disease (χ2=15.908, P<0.05); the proportion of combined treatment medications in children with moderate to severe AD was significantly higher than mild AD patients. In conclusion, the patients with AD who went to specialist clinics were mainly moderate to severe patients and developed disease before the age of 5 years from 2015 to 2019.The severity of AD were mainly moderate to severe, and most of these patients had poor disease control. Traditional treatment plans had limitations. Identifying the clinical characteristics and treatment status of childhood AD would help us to carry out more targeted prevention and management work.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The magnetic resonance accelerator (MR-Linac) is gradually widely used due to high-quality soft tissue contrast and real-time tracking. However, the special dosimetry characteristics and wide field sizes of MR-Linac increase the QA difficulty with conventional measurement method. The purpose of this study was to confirm an ion chamber array could be used for measuring the beam quality, the profiles, as well as the positioning accuracy of all MLC leaves efficiently, by comparing results with the conventional method. To propose a new QA approach for solving the common problem in data acquisition caused by the wide fields of MR-Linac. MATERIALS/METHODS The research was based on a MR-Linac fixed with 1.5T MR and 7MeV energy photon beam. The conventional QA method adopted the MR water tank with a gantry angle of 0°and an SSD of 133.5 cm, both microdiamond and ionization chamber detector were used to acquire the dose profiles (PDD, inline, crossline and diagonal). Field sizes 1 × 1 cm2, 2 × 2 cm2, 3 × 3 cm2, 5 × 5 cm2, 10 × 10 cm2, 15 × 15 cm2, 22 × 22 cm2, 40 × 22 cm2,57 × 22 cm2 were measured with depth 13mm, 50mm, 100mm for vertical beam. As for the wide fields (larger than 15 × 15 cm2), two profiles of x axis (one from left to right, the other from right to left) needed to be gathered and then stitched into one final profile. A boot phantom with an ionization chamber detector was used for measuring beam quality. We defined the profiles measured by conventional method as the baseline. An ion chamber array was adopted to acquire TPR, PDD, profiles and MLC positioning, comparing to the conventional method. The center of ion chamber array was placed to the isocenter of MR-Linac, the array could move to the right and left offset positions through engaging the pin into correct hole of QA platform, such 'once positioning and twice movements' operation could finish within 3 minutes. The central detector of the ion chamber array was used for measuring beam quality. TPRs for different depths were acquired by stacking solid water on the ion chamber array. As for the profiles, we could get the final profile by 'once positioning and twice movements' efficiently. As for the positioning accuracy of MLC leaves, firstly the central leaf pair was put on y = 0 to measure 'open profile' under the open field. Then we moved the MLC leaves to different positions to get the n profile (n for different leaf positions). The ratio of n profile to open profile could show the positioning accuracy of MLC. RESULTS We adopted 2D gamma (1mm / 2%) to compare the profiles between the ion chamber array and the conventional method, the results were within 98%. The beam quality consistency of ion chamber array comparing to the wedge tank was within 1% according to daily measurement. The ion chamber array could reflect the MLC positioning differences, the sensitivity was 0.5 mm. CONCLUSION The ion chamber array showed a convenient QA method both for the dosimetry and for the MLC positioning accuracy which did reduce the overall measurement time, it was recommended for daily and monthly QA for MR-Linac.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some studies have reported that the prognosis of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for early-stage cervical cancer (CC) is worse than that of open surgery. And this was associated with the use of uterine manipulator or not. Therefore, this study retrospectively analyzes the efficacy and safety of TLH without uterine manipulator combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy for early-stage CC. METHODS Fifty-eight patients with CC (stage IB1-IIA1) who received radical hysterectomy from September 2019 to January 2020 were divided into no uterine manipulator (n = 26) and uterine manipulator group (n = 32). Then, clinical characteristics were collected and intraoperative/postoperative related indicators were compared. RESULTS Patients in the no uterine manipulator group had significantly higher operation time and blood loss than in the uterine manipulator group. Notably, there was no significant difference in hemoglobin change, blood transfusion rate, number of pelvic nodules, anal exhaust time, complications and recurrence rate between the two groups. Additionally, patients in the uterine manipulator group were prone to urinary retention (15.6%) and lymphocyst (12.5%), while the no uterine manipulator group exhibited high probability of bladder dysfunction (23.1%) and urinary retention (15.4%). Furthermore, the 1-year disease-free survival rate and the 1-year overall survival rate were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in the efficacy and safety of TLH with or without uterine manipulator combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy in the treatment of patients with early-stage CC. However, the latter requires consideration of the negative effects of high operation time and blood loss.

MATERIALS/METHODS Eleven patients with cervical cancer treated with Halcyon accelerator were retrospectively selected. All the patients manually planned with four full arc volume rotating intensity modulated radiotherapy (VMAT) (Manual-4Arc), and the prescription dose was 45 Gy/25F. All patient images and structures were imported into Ethos simulator, and clinical goals were added appropriately based on clinical requirements. The target coverage was normalized to 95%. 7F, 9F, 12F IMRT plans and 2Arc, 3Arc VMAT plans were automatically generated by IOE. Dosimetric index comparisons were made among the Manual-4Arc plans and five group IOE generated plan to evaluate the automatic optimization performance of IOE. RESULTS In terms of hot dose area, for PTV, D1% of IMRT-12F plans was the lowest, and there were significant differences between IMRT-12F plans and Manual-4Arc plans (46.936 ± 0.241 vs 48.639 ± 2.395, p = 0.004); In terms of target coverage, the CTVs of all groups meet clinical requirements. Although the Ethos online adaptive plans have been normalized during planning, the PTV coverage is slightly insufficient (12F: 94.913 ± 0.154; 9F: 94.585 ± 1.148). For OARs close to target, such as bladder, V30Gy, V40Gy and Dmean have significant differences among the six group plans. The order of bladder dose is basically followed by IMRT-12F CONCLUSION The plans automatically generated by Ethos IOE can achieve similar performance as the manual plan, and the automatically generated IMRT-12F and 9F plans are preferred for clinical use.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Rapid and accurate delineation of clinical target volumes (CTV) of cervical cancer is the crux to ensure the efficiency and benefits of adaptation radiotherapy (ART). However, contour propagation using deformation image registration (DIR) is difficult to ensure the accuracy of CTV contours due to the significant tumor recession in next fraction, and the tumor progress in each fraction is not considered by conventional automatic delineation methods based on deep learning (DL). Currently, one-shot learning (OSL) is feasible to learn the tumor progress from former fractions to improve the accuracy of automatically delineating CTV. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively collected 45 patients with cervical cancer from January 2021 to May 2022 in our department. All patients consist of a pair of planning CT and daily CT in ART. A personalized automatic delineation method based on one-shot learning was developed to delineate CTV in daily CT by learning the clinical prior knowledge from the CTV contours and images of planning CT. The performance of our proposed method was evaluated by dice similarity coefficient (DSC), 95% Harsdorff distance (95HD) and average surface distance (ASD) with human experts, and its automatic delineation performance were compared with DIR and DL in daily CT. RESULTS Our automatic delineation method OSL performed the best results in all evaluation metrics (denoted by mean ± standard deviation) as shown in Table 1, it is superior to method DL: 0.92 & 0.90 of DSC, 2.33 mm & 2.68 mm of HD95, 0.68 mm & 0.82 mm of ASD, P < 0.05 for DSC and ASD. Specifically, our method is significantly superior to the automatic delineation results by method DIR: 0.92 & 0.84 of DSC, 2.33 mm & 4.11 mm of HD95, 0.68 mm & 1.52 mm of ASD, P < 0.05 for all. In addition, OSL can significantly overcome the delineation problems in fuzzy boundary and delineation missing and perform better generalization for some unusual images, compared with DIR and DL. CONCLUSION We proposed an automatic delineation method based on one-shot learning for CTV of cervical cancer in ART, the results demonstrated that the proposed method could improve the precision and generalization of automatically delineating CTV compared against current popular methods. Therefore, it is potential to improve the quality and efficiency of ART for personalized patients and have a positive impact on tumor control and patient survival.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of protein energy wasting (PEW) in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: Clinical data of 231 children with chronic kidney disease hospitalized in Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed to explore the incidence of PEW. According to the diagnostic criteria of CKDPEW, they were divided into a CKDPEW group and a non PEW group. The comparison between the groups was performed by independent-sample t test and Chi-squared test, and the risk factors were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Results: Among the 231 children, there were 138 males and 93 females, with a visiting age of 9.9 (7.9, 16.0) years; 6 cases were in stage 1, 14 cases in stage 2, 51 cases in stage 3, 36 cases in stage 4, and 124 cases in stage 5. A total of 30 children (13.0%) with CKD PEW were diagnosed at the age of 7. 1 (3.8, 13.2) years, including 1 case in stage 1, 1 case in stage 2, 5 cases in stage 3, 5 cases in stage 4, and 18 cases in stage 5. There were a total of 201 cases (87.0%) in the non PEW group, diagnosed at the age of 11.8 (8.5, 12.2) years, including 5 cases in stage 1, 13 cases in stage 2, 46 cases in stage 3, 31 cases in stage 4, and 106 cases in stage 5. The Chi-squared test and t test showed that the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, birth weight and carbon dioxide binding capacity of the CKD PEW group were lower than those of the non PEW group ((109±22) vs. (120±20) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (72±19) vs. (79±16) mmHg, (2.9±0.5) vs. (3.2±0.6) kg, (17±4) vs. (19±4) mmol/L,t=2.85, 2.14, 0.67, 2.63, all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that carbon dioxide binding capacity and birth weight were independent protective factors of CKDPEW in children (OR=0.81 and 0.36, 95%CI=0.73-0.90 and 0.17-0.77, respectively; both P<0.01); the risk of PEW in CKD children decreased by 0.187 times for every 1 mmol/L increment in carbon dioxide binding capacity, and 0.638 times for every 1 kg increment in birth weight. Conclusions: The incidence of protein energy expenditure in children with chronic kidney disease is lower than that in the previous researches. PEW can appear in CKD 1-2 stage, and attention should be paid to it in the early stage of CKD in clinical practice. Low birth weight CKD children are susceptible to PEW, and actively correcting metabolic acidosis can reduce the risk of CKDPEW.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between basic characteristics and clinical features of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). METHODS The R language statistical tool was used to analyze the clinical information of 500 TMD patients, i.e., age, sex, joint noises, mouth opening pattern, and pain symptoms, as well as the results of the mandibular push-back test. A pairwise correlation analysis of each clinical feature was carried out. RESULTS The highest incidence of TMD was observed in the age group of 20 to 30 years (240/500). Around 2/3 of the patients showed pain symptoms. Abnormal mouth opening patterns, joint noises, and temporomandibular joint synovitis (TMJS) were observed in 48.4, 65.4, and 34% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION Joint click and the corrected deviation of the mouth opening pattern are signs of early-stage TMD, whereas limited mouth opening and TMJS are indicators of progressive stage and complicated TMD.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the curative effects of foot microflap free transplantation in the repair of full-thickness electric burn wounds deep to tendon or even bone in fingers. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From July 2017 to February 2022, 20 patients with full-thickness electric burn wounds deep to tendon or even bone in fingers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 19 males and 1 female, aged 18 to 64 years. Among the 20 wounds, 15 wounds were located on the palm side, including 8 on the thumb, 5 on the index finger, and 2 on the middle finger; 5 wounds were located on the back, including 1 on the index finger and 4 on the middle finger. After debridement, the wound area ranged from 4.5 cm×2.0 cm to 7.0 cm×3.0 cm. According to the principle of tissue structure similarity, 10 wounds were repaired with plantar medial flaps, 5 wounds were repaired with hallux peroneal flaps, and 5 wounds were repaired with dorsalis pedis artery flaps, with flap area of 5.0 cm×2.5 cm-8.0 cm×3.5 cm. The flaps were transplanted freely and arteries and veins and/or nerves were anastomosed at the same time. The wound in the donor site was repaired with thigh medium-thick skin graft. The survival of flaps and skin grafts were observed after surgery. The appearance of flap, temperature and color of the distal end in the affected finger were observed during follow-up. At the last follow-up, the joint function and flap sensory recovery of the affected finger were evaluated with the trial standard for the evaluation of the functions of the upper limbs of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association; the two-point discrimination distance of skin in the area of flaps with nerve anastomosis was measured; the satisfaction of patients with the curative effect was investigated by using the curative effect satisfaction rating scale, and the very satisfied rate was calculated; the repair effect of flap was evaluated by the comprehensive evaluation scale, and the excellent and good rate was calculated. Results: All the flaps and skin grafts survived after surgery. During the follow-up of 10-18 months after surgery, the appearance of flap was natural and not bloated; the temperature and color of the distal end in the affected finger were basically the same as that of normal finger skin. At the last follow-up, the function recovery of the affected finger joints was as follows: 11 affected fingers were within the normal range of motion, 6 affected fingers had their total active range of motion recovered to 85% of the healthy side, and 3 affected fingers had their total active range of motion recovered to 75% of the healthy side; the flap sensory recovery was as follows: the sense of 15 flaps with nerve anastomosis all recovered to grade S3+, and the two-point discrimination distance of skin in the flap area was 7.0-9.0 mm; the sense of 1 flap without nerve anastomosis recovered to grade S2 and the sense of 4 flaps recovered to grade S1. The satisfaction with curative effect of 20 patients was very satisfied in 16 cases and moderately satisfied in 4 cases, with the very satisfied rate of 80%; the repair result of 20 flaps was excellent in 16 cases, good in 2 cases, and fair in 2 cases, with excellent and good rate of 90%. Conclusions: Due to the similar tissue structure of donor site and recipient site, foot microflap free transplantation in the repair of full-thickness electric burn wounds deep to tendon or even bone in fingers can achieve good appearance and function, with better functional and sensory recovery of the affected finger in the case of nerve anastomosis. Patients have high degree of satisfaction with the curative effects, which is worthy of promotion.

Abstract
Background Observation studies have confirmed the association between the gut microbiome and reproductive endocrine diseases (REDs), namely, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and female infertility. However, their association has never been confirmed by a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods We conducted a two-sample MR analysis to evaluate the relationship between the gut microbiome and the three aforementioned REDs. In order to get more comprehensive results, two different thresholds were adopted to select instrumental variables (IVs): one was a locus-wide significance threshold (P <1.0×10-5) and the other was a genome-wide significance level (P< 5×10-8). Summary-level statistics for the gut microbiome and REDs were collected from public databases. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) was the main method used to estimate causality, and sensitivity analyses were conducted to validate the MR results. Results At the locus-wide significance level, we identified that the genera Streptococcus (OR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.13-2.06, P=0.006) and RuminococcaceaeUCG005 (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.04-1.86, P=0.028) were associated with a high risk of PCOS, while Sellimonas (OR= 0.69, 95%CI: 0.58-0.83, P=0.0001) and RuminococcaceaeUCG011(OR=0.76, 95%CI: 0.60-0.95, P=0.017) were linked to a low PCOS risk. The genus Coprococcus2 (OR=1.20, 95%CI: 1.01-1.43, P=0.039) was correlated with an increased risk of female infertility, while Ruminococcus torques (OR=0.69, 95%CI: 0.54-0.88, P=0.002) were negatively associated with the risk of female infertility. The genera Olsenella (OR= 1.11, 95%CI: 1.01-1.22, P=0.036), Anaerotruncus (OR= 1.25, 95%CI: 1.03-1.53, P=0.025), and Oscillospira (OR= 1.21, 95%CI: 1.01-1.46, P=0.035) were linked to a high risk of endometriosis. However, the results showed that the gut microbiome did not possess a causal link with REDs risk based on the genome-wide significance level. Sensitivity analyses further confirmed the robustness of the MR results. Conclusion Our study provides evidence that gut microbiome is closely related with REDs. Subsequent studies should be conducted to promote microbiome-orientated therapeutic strategies for managing REDs.

Abstract
The harmful dinoflagellate Karenia mikimotoi is responsible for the mortality of aquatic animals. However, the mechanism behind these toxic effects has not been fully determined. Herein, the toxic effects of K. mikimotoi on the growth performance, antioxidative responses, physiological activities, and energetic substance contents of rotifer Brachionus plicatilis were assessed. Rotifers were exposed to Nannochloropsis salina (Eustigmatophyceae), K. mikimotoi, and a mixture of N. salina and K. mikimotoi with biomass ratio proportions of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3, respectively. Results indicated that K. mikimotoi negatively affected the population growth, survival, and specific growth rates of rotifers within 24 h. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the content of malondialdehyde, and the activity of amylase increased. However, the total antioxidant capacity level, pepsase, cellulase, alkaline phosphatase, xanthine oxidase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities, and glycogen and protein contents decreased with increasing proportions of K. mikimotoi. The mixture of 50% N. salina and 50% K. mikimotoi promoted the increase in glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activity and triglyceride content. These findings underscore ROS-mediated antioxidative responses, physiological responses, and energetic substance content changes in B. plicatilis work together to affect population dynamics inhibition of rotifers by K. mikimotoi.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is the common pathological feature of various chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Tubular cell senescence plays a key role in the progression of renal fibrosis. However, the underlying mechanisms are still in mystery. In this study, we identified, Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), belonging to the Pentraxin family, is a new fibrogenic factor. PTX3 was increased in various CKD models. PTX3 was primarily localized in tubular epithelial cells and upregulated, accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence. Overexpression of PTX3 aggravated mitochondrial damage and accelerated cell senescence in tubular cells, leading to more severe fibrogenesis in kidneys. However, knockout of PTX3 significantly preserved mitochondrial homeostasis, and blocked cellular senescence in primary cultured tubular cells. Furthermore, KYA1797K, a destabilizer of β-catenin, greatly inhibited PTX3-induced mitochondrial homeostasis, tubular cell senescence, and renal fibrosis. Overexpression of PTX3 triggered nuclear translocation of β-catenin, an activating form of β-catenin. PTX3-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and tubular cell senescence were also significantly inhibited by knockdown of p16INK4A, a senescence-related protein. In a clinical cohort, we found PTX3 was increased in urine and serum in clinical patients with CKD. Urinary PTX3 negatively correlated with the decline of eGFR. PTX3 also increased gradually following the severity of diseases, triggering the fibrogenesis. Taken together, our results provide strong evidences that PTX3 is a new fibrogenic factor in the development of renal fibrosis through β-catenin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cell senescence. This study further suggests PTX3 is a new diagnostic factor to renal fibrosis and provides a new therapeutic target against renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Cancer severely threatens human health, which makes it particularly urgent to develop effective strategies for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Gene therapy and nucleic acid-based cancer diagnosis play important roles in cancer theranostic, but their applicability is challenged by the low cellular uptake and enzymatic degradation. In response, safe and efficient carrier metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proposed. Zeolite imidazole frameworks (ZIFs), a promising MOF type, can easily encapsulate negatively charged nucleic acid while offering a high loading efficiency, adjustable structure, and conditional responsiveness (pH, ATP, or GSH). In this review, we studied recent articles on nucleic acid-loading ZIFs-based nanoplatforms in tumor theranostics on the Pubmed database, with a focus on the synthesis and applications in tumor diagnosis and treatment. The relevant favorable aspects, potential challenges, and future opportunities are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
The elliptic (v_{2}) and triangular (v_{3}) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central ^{3}He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) at midrapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v_{2}(p_{T}) values depend on the colliding systems, the v_{3}(p_{T}) values are system independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from subnucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.

Abstract
With the increasing availability of electronic health records (EHR), significant progress has been made on developing predictive inference and algorithms by health data analysts and researchers. However, the EHR data are notoriously noisy due to missing and inaccurate inputs despite the information is abundant. One serious problem is that only a small portion of patients in the database has confirmatory diagnoses while many other patients remain undiagnosed because they did not comply with the recommended examinations. The phenomenon leads to a so-called positive-unlabelled situation and the labels are extremely imbalanced. In this paper, we propose a model-based approach to classify the unlabelled patients by using a Bayesian finite mixture model. We also discuss the label switching issue for the imbalanced data and propose a consensus Monte Carlo approach to address the imbalance issue and improve computational efficiency simultaneously. Simulation studies show that our proposed model-based approach outperforms existing positive-unlabelled learning algorithms. The proposed method is applied on the Cerner EHR for detecting diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients using laboratory measurements. With only 3% confirmatory diagnoses in the EHR database, we estimate the actual DR prevalence to be 25% which coincides with reported findings in the medical literature.

We report here the first observation of directed flow (v_{1}) of the hypernuclei _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H in mid-central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV at RHIC. These data are taken as part of the beam energy scan program carried out by the STAR experiment. From 165×10^{6} events in 5%-40% centrality, about 8400 _{Λ}^{3}H and 5200 _{Λ}^{4}H candidates are reconstructed through two- and three-body decay channels. We observe that these hypernuclei exhibit significant directed flow. Comparing to that of light nuclei, it is found that the midrapidity v_{1} slopes of _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H follow baryon number scaling, implying that the coalescence is the dominant mechanism for these hypernuclei production in the 3 GeV Au+Au collisions.

Abstract
We report the triton (t) production in midrapidity (|y|<0.5) Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7-200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The nuclear compound yield ratio (N_{t}×N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}), which is predicted to be sensitive to the fluctuation of local neutron density, is observed to decrease monotonically with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dN_{ch}/dη) and follows a scaling behavior. The dN_{ch}/dη dependence of the yield ratio is compared to calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Enhancements in the yield ratios relative to the coalescence baseline are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV, with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, giving a combined significance of 4.1σ. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions or model calculations without critical fluctuation, and decreases with a smaller p_{T} acceptance. The physics implications of these results on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among older people intentional poisoning outnumber unintentional ones. While there are indications that time trends differ by poisoning intent, studies are scarce. We assessed how the annual prevalence of intentional and unintentional poisoning changed over time, overall and by demographic groups. METHODS We conducted a national open cohort study of individuals aged 50-100 years, resident in Sweden during 2005-2016. Individuals were followed up in population-based registers for their demographic and health attributes from 2006-2016. Annual prevalence of hospitalization and death by poisoning intent (unintentional vs. intentional or undetermined; ICD-10 definitions) were compiled for the categories of four demographic attributes (age, sex, marital status, and birth cohort "baby boomers"). The time trends were assessed by multinomial logistic regression with year as an independent variable. RESULTS The annual overall prevalence of hospitalization and death by intentional poisonings consistently exceeded that of unintentional poisonings. There was a significant downward trend in intentional poisonings but not in unintentional ones. This difference in trends also applied when considering men and women separately, married and unmarried people, the young-old individuals (but not the older- or oldest-old ones), and the baby boomers and non-baby boomers. The largest demographic differences within intent were found between married and unmarried people, and the smallest one between men and women. CONCLUSION As expected, the annual prevalence of intentional poisonings considerably exceed that of unintentional ones among Swedish older people. The recent trends reveal a significant reduction of intentional poisonings, consistent across a range of demographic attributes. The scope for action regarding this preventable cause of mortality and morbidity remains considerable.

Abstract
Sensory cortical areas are robustly modulated by higher-order cortices. Our previous study shows that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) can immediately and transiently enhance responses in the mouse auditory cortex (ACx). Here, we further examined whether strong activation of ACC neurons can induce long-term effects in mice of both sexes. To our surprise, only stimulation of cell bodies in the ACC, but not ACC-to-ACx terminal activation, induced long-term enhancement of auditory responses in the ACx. Anatomical examination showed that the ACC indirectly projects to the ACx via the rhinal cortex (RCx). High-frequency stimulation of ACC-projecting terminals to the RCx or RCx-projecting terminals to the ACx induced a similar effect as the cell body activation of ACC neurons, whereas silencing the RCx blocked this long-term enhancement. High-frequency stimulation of ACC projections to the RCx also induced long-term augmentation of sound-evoked flight behavior in male mice. These results show that the ACC promotes the long-term enhancement of auditory responses in the ACx through an indirect pathway via the RCx.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIn this study, we demonstrate that the anterior part of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) evokes long-term enhancement of auditory responses in the auditory cortex (ACx) when it is strongly activated. Importantly, instead of a direct projection, we show that the ACC implements this effect via an indirect pathway through the lateral rhinal cortex using a series of physiological, optogenetic, anatomical, and behavioral experiments. Along with a short-term effect, this long-term enhancement induced by an indirect ACC-to-ACx projection could increase the odds of survival when animals are faced with threats after a significant event.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is rapidly increasing nowadays and at a high risk to progress into chronic kidney disease (CKD). Of note, men are more susceptive to AKI, suggesting gender differences in AKI patients. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. To test it, we adopted two experimental models of AKI, including ischemia/reperfusion injury and rhabdomyolysis, which were constructed in age-matched male and female mice. We found severe damages of tubular apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and loss of renal function showing in male mice, while female mice only had very mild injury. We further tested the expression of Sirtuins, and found that female mice could preserve more Sirtuin members' expression in case of kidney damage. Among Sirtuin family, Sirtuin 6 was maximally preserved in injured kidney in female mice, suggesting its important role involved in the gender differences of AKI pathogenesis. We then found that knockdown of androgen receptor (AR) attenuated tubular damage, mitochondrial dysfunction and retarded the loss of renal function. Overexpression of Sirtuin 6 also showed similar results. Furthermore, in cultured tubular cells, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) decreased Sirtuin 6 expression and exacerbated cell apoptosis. Ectopic expression of Sirtuin 6 sufficiently inhibited DHT-induced cell apoptosis. Mechanically, we found AR inhibited Sirtuin 6, leading to the repression of binding of Sirtuin 6 with PGC-1α. This resulted in acetylation of PGC-1α and inhibition of its activity, further triggered the loss of mitochondrial homeostasis. Our results provided new insights to the underlying mechanisms of gender differences in AKI, suggesting Sirtuin 6 maybe a new therapeutic target for preventing AKI in male patients.
