RESUMEN

The rail transit construction process produces a large quantity of carbon emission. The carbon emission could be divided into two sources, including direct carbon emission from the construction process and indirect carbon emission by raw material utilization. With the promotion of China National carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, it is an industry trend for the rail transit construction company to reduce carbon emission during the construction event. This study provides a detailed overview of the possible carbon emission process and carbon mitigation process during the rail transit construction event and puts forward preliminary carbon mitigation suggestions and strategy for the rail transit construction process. The predominant carbon emission section during rail transit construction is the raw material (including the steel, cement, concrete, tunnel segment), electricity, and fuel consumption during construction. It is suggested that the rail transit construction process could achieve carbon emission mitigation from the following prospects: make careful plans for the raw material selection (such as using recycled concrete, recycled steel, and so forth), improve the construction process to reduce energy waste, and optimize the equipment selection during the mechanical and electrical installment process. By this, the carbon emission could be mitigated during the rail transit construction.

RESUMEN

Boar sperm quality serves as an important indicator of reproductive efficiency, playing a direct role in enhancing the output of livestock production. It has been demonstrated that mitochondrial protein translation is present in sperm and plays a crucial role in regulating sperm motility, capacitation and in vitro fertilization rate. The present study aimed to determine whether methionine supplementation enhances mitochondrial translation in boar sperm, thereby improving sperm quality. The results showed a significant elevation in the abundance of mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase (MTFMT), a crucial enzyme for mitochondrial protein translation, and mitochondrial DNA-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COX1) in boar sperm exhibiting high motility. Both amino acids and methionine supplementation significantly enhanced boar sperm motility during storage. Moreover, methionine supplementation mitigates the loss of acrosomal integrity, enhances the expression of COX1, and boosts mitochondrial activity. Furthermore, the positive impact of methionine was negated in the presence of the mitochondrial translation inhibitor chloramphenicol. Together, these findings suggest that boar sperm may utilize methionine as a protein translation substrate to enhance sperm motility by stimulating mitochondrial protein translation. The supplementation of methionine may enhance the quality of boar sperm, thereby providing guidance for the optimization of diluent formulations for liquid storage and the identification of physiological regulators that regulate sperm motility.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Postoperative urination dysfunction is a common complication after surgery in patients with cervical cancer. Portable bladder ultrasound are commonly utilized in clinical practice for measuring residual urine volume. This study aimed to the effect of bladder function training combined with portable ultrasound monitoring on bladder function recovery in patients with cervical cancer after training. METHODS: A total of 40 postoperative patients with cervical cancer were randomly divided into a control group (A) and an experimental group (B) of 20 cases each. Group A was given routine postoperative care, while group B was given bladder function training. Urgent urine bladder volume were taken twice daily after removal of the urinary catheter and monitored for five consecutive days. The difference of urgent urine bladder volume and bladder filling rate were compared by t-test and chi-square test respectively. The 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients before and after intervention, and compared by Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in preoperative urgent urine volume between the two groups. After catheter removal, the bladder volume of patients in the B increased, while the bladder volume of patients in the A increased less and fluctuated greatly. The bladder filling rate in the A was significantly lower than that in the B (5/15 vs 17/18, p < 0.05). After intervention, the quality of life of the experimental group was better than that of the control group, including scores of general health, mental health, vitality, and physical role (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Postoperative cervical cancer patients trained to hold urine by portable ultrasound monitoring are able to recover bladder function.

RESUMEN

Glioma is a prevalent brain malignancy associated with poor prognosis. Although chemotherapy serves as the primary treatment for brain tumors, its effectiveness is hindered by the limited ability of drugs to traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the development of drug resistance linked to tumor hypoxia. Herein, we report the creation of hybrid camouflaged multifunctional nanovesicles comprising membranes of tumor C6 cells (mT) and bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and co-loaded with manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs) and doxorubicin (DOX) to synergistically enhance the chemotherapy/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of glioma. Owing to OMV-mediated BBB penetration and mT-inherited tumor-homing properties, MnO2-DOX@mT/OMVs can penetrate the BBB and enhance the tumor cell-specific uptake of DOX via "proton sponge effect"-mediated lysosomal escape. This enhances the apoptotic effect induced by DOX and minimizing DOX-associated cardiotoxicity by facilitating the accumulation of DOX at the tumor site. Furthermore, the MnO2 NPs in MnO2-DOX@mT/OMVs can generate potent CDT by accelerating the Fenton-like reaction with DOX-generated H2O2 and achieving glutathione (GSH)-depletion-induced glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inactivation. These results showed that MnO2-DOX@mT/OMVs, designed for brain tumor targeting, significantly inhibited tumor growth and exhibited favorable biological safety. This innovative approach offers the augmentation of anticancer treatment efficacy via a potential combination of chemotherapy and CDT.

RESUMEN

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) represents a significant global health concern among females. Identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets is pivotal for improving the prognosis of CSCC. This study investigates the prognostic relevance of CCZ1 in CSCC and elucidates its downstream pathways and targets using a combination of bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation. Transcriptomic analysis of 239 CSCC and 3 normal cervical samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database reveals a marked upregulation of CCZ1 mRNA levels in CSCC, and elevated CCZ1 mRNA levels were associated with poor prognosis. Immunohistochemical analysis of clinical samples also confirmed these findings. Furthermore, functional assays, including Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, Transwell, and flow cytometry, elucidated the influence of CCZ1 on CSCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle progression. Remarkably, CCZ1 knockdown suppressed CSCC progression both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, CCZ1 knockdown downregulated MMP2 and MMP17 expression. Restoring MMP2 or MMP17 expression rescued phenotypic alterations induced by CCZ1 knockdown. Hence, CCZ1 promotes CSCC progression by upregulating MMP2 and MMP17 expression, emerging as a novel biomarker in CSCC and presenting potential as a therapeutic target in CSCC.

RESUMEN

Objective: To investigate the effects of eating and emotions on reproductive axis function in patients with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA).Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to summarize the clinical and endocrine characteristics of 58 patients with FHA at initial diagnosis and to follow up the recovery of ovulation and spontaneous menstruation in the patients to investigate these biochemical indicators and their effects on recovery outcomes.Results: Among patients with FHA, 13.8% (8/58) and 15.5% (9/58) had above moderately severe depressive and severe anxiety symptoms respectively, and 25.9% (15/58) were at high risk for eating disorders. 34.5% (20/58) were included assessed as having recovered. The non-recovered group had higher scores on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) (p = .022) and higher scores on the Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26) (p = .03) as well as bulimia and food preoccupation (p = .041). Follicle diameter >5 mm at initial diagnosis was an independent factor influencing recovery of reproductive axis function (odds ratio = 7.532; 95% confidence interval, 1.321-42.930; p = .023).Conculsions: Mood disorders and a certain risk of eating disorders were present in FHA.These, together with weight loss, endocrine and follicle size, could influence the outcome.

RESUMEN

Neuroinflammation is an important factor that exacerbates neuronal death and abnormal synaptic function in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Due to the complex pathogenesis and the presence of blood-brain barrier (BBB), no effective clinical drugs are currently available. Previous results showed that N-salicyloyl tryptamine derivatives had the potential to constrain the neuroinflammatory process. In this study, 30 new N-salicyloyl tryptamine derivatives were designed and synthesized to investigate a structure-activity relationship (SAR) for the indole ring of tryptamine in order to enhance their antineuroinflammatory effects. Among them, both in vitro and in vivo compound 18 exerted the best antineuroinflammatory effects by suppressing the activation of microglia, which is the culprit of neuroinflammation. The underlying mechanism of its antineuroinflammatory effect may be related to the inhibition of transcription, expression and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) that subsequently regulated downstream cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and activity. With its excellent BBB permeability and pharmacokinetic properties, compound 18 exhibited significant neuroprotective effects in the hippocampal region of lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced mice than former N-salicyloyl tryptamine derivative L7. In conclusion, compound 18 has provided a new approach for the development of highly effective antineuroinflammatory therapeutic drugs targeting microglia activation.

RESUMEN

Neurodegenerative diseases represent a cluster of conditions characterized by the progressive degeneration of the structure and function of the nervous system. Despite significant advancements in understanding these diseases, therapeutic options remain limited. The medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum has been recognized for its comprehensive array of bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, which possess potential neuroprotective properties. This literature review collates and examines the existing research on the bioactivity of active compounds and extracts from Ganoderma lucidum in modulating the pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. The structural information and preparation processes of specific components, such as individual ganoderic acids and unique fractions of polysaccharides, are presented in detail to facilitate structure-activity relationship research and scale up the investigation of in vivo pharmacology. The mechanisms of these components against neurodegenerative diseases are discussed on multiple levels and elaborately categorized in different patterns. It is clearly presented from the patterns that most polysaccharides of Ganoderma lucidum possess neurotrophic effects, while ganoderic acids preferentially target specific pathogenic proteins as well as regulating autophagy. Further clinical trials are necessary to assess the translational potential of these components in the development of novel multi-target drugs for neurodegenerative diseases.

RESUMEN

With the increasing demand for innovative electronic products, LED transparent screens are gradually entering the public eye. Polyimide (PI) materials combine high temperature resistance and high transparency, which can be used to prepare flexible copper-clad laminate substrates. The physical and chemical properties of PI materials differ from copper, such as their thermal expansion coefficients (CTEs), surface energy, etc. These differences affect the formation and stability of the interface between copper and PI films, resulting in a short life for LED transparent screens. To enhance PI-copper interfacial adhesion, aminopropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be used to increase the adhesive ability. Two diamine monomers with a trifluoromethyl structure and a sulfone group structure were selected in this research. Bisphenol type A diether dianhydride is a dianhydride monomer. All three of the above monomers have non-coplanar structures and flexible structural units. The adhesion and optical properties can be improved between the interface of the synthesized PI films and copper foil. PI films containing PDMS 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt% were analyzed using UV spectroscopy. The transmittance of the PI-1/3%, PI-1/5%, PI-2/3%, and PI-2/5% films were all more than 80% at 450 nm. Meanwhile, the Td 5% and Td 10% heat loss and Tg temperatures decreased gradually with the increase in PDMS. The peel adhesion of PI-copper foil was measured using a 180° peel assay. The effect of PDMS addition on peel adhesion was analyzed. PIs-3% films had the greatest peeling intensities of 0.98 N/mm and 0.85 N/mm.

RESUMEN

Background: There is an interest in performing de-escalating axillary surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). However, the significance of residual axillary node disease after NAC has not been well studied. Objectives: To investigate the pathological residual axillary lymph node tumor burden (ypN) of patients with initial clinical nodal stage cN0-1 breast cancer after NAC and determine its prognostic value. Design: Initial cN0-1 breast cancer patients who received NAC followed by axillary surgery at the First Hospital of Jilin University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between January 2011 and December 2019 were included. Methods: Survival outcomes were compared according to different clinical and pathological stage and nodal response to NAC. The main outcomes were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Factors associated with survival were defined by Cox regression analysis. Results: A total of 911 patients were included, among whom 260 had cN0 and 651 had cN1 tumors. After NAC, 410 patients were ypN0, and another 501 were ypN+. The median follow-up time was 63 months. There was no significant difference in DFS or OS between the cN0 and cN1 groups in hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) and HR-/HER2- subtypes; instead, ypN status was significantly related to DFS and OS. In HR+/HER2- subtype, both cN and ypN stages did not show significant survival differences, but the ypN number and the nodal response to NAC showed significant prognostic value (p < 0.05). Among HR-/HER2+ patients, all cN status, ypN status, ypN number, and nodal response were significantly associated with survival (p < 0.05). Furthermore, tumor biology, axillary surgery, ypN status, pathological tumor size, and radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors for DFS and OS. Conclusion: The ypN status after NAC provide more prognostic information than the initial cN stage in cN0-1 patients, and the surgical axillary staging after NAC may have high clinical value.

RESUMEN

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the value of 2D ultrasonography in the diagnosis and assessment of intrauterine adhesions (IUA)? DESIGN: This was a prospective study conducted at a hysteroscopy centre. RESULTS: Of a total of 600 subjects recruited, 41 dropped out and 559 were finally enrolled and analysed. The observed 2D ultrasonography features, in decreasing order of frequency, were 'irregular endometrium' (37.9%), 'broken endometrial echo' (23.4%), 'thin endometrium' (13.7%), 'loss of endometrial echo' (13.1%,), 'hyperechoic focus' (12.5%) and 'fluid in the cavity' (8.8%). The sensitivity of individual ultrasound features ranged from 8.8% to 37.9%, whereas the specificity of individual ultrasound features ranged from 78.9% to 100%. When all the six ultrasound features were considered together, the sensitivity and specificity were 71.7% and 66.2% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis in the mid-proliferative phase, peri-ovulatory phase and mid-luteal phase did not appear to be significantly different statistically, although the results in the mid-proliferative phase appeared to be consistently higher than those in the mid-luteal phase. In women confirmed to have IUA, the likelihood of the adhesions being severe in nature in the presence of zero, one, two or three or more ultrasound features was 8.7%, 23.0%, 40.2% and 80.5%, respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings in this study support the notions that ultrasonography examination in women suspected to have IUA cannot replace hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of the condition. However, it does provide useful clinical information regarding severity and could help in the planning of hysteroscopy to optimize management.

RESUMEN

High-order cylindrical vector beams possess flexible spatial polarization and exhibit new effects and phenomena that can expand the functionality and enhance the capability of optical systems. However, building a general analytical model for highly focused beams with different polarization orders remains a challenge. Here, we elaborately develop the vector theory of high-order cylindrical vector beams in a high numerical aperture focusing system and achieve the vectorial diffraction integrals for describing the tight focusing field with the space-variant distribution of polarization orders within the framework of Richards-Wolf diffraction theory. The analytical formulae include the exact three Cartesian components of electric and magnetic distributions in the tightly focused region. Additionally, utilizing the analytical formulae, we can achieve the gradient force, scattering force, and curl-spin force exerted on Rayleigh particles trapped by high-order cylindrical vector beams. These results are crucial for improving the design and engineering of the tightly focused field by modulating the polarization orders of high-order cylindrical vector beams, particularly for applications such as optical tweezers and optical manipulation. This theoretical analysis also extends to the calculation of complicated optical vortex vector fields and the design of diffractive optical elements with high diffraction efficiency and resolution.

RESUMEN

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) constitutes crucial elements within bacterial biofilms, facilitating accelerated antimicrobial resistance and conferring defense against the host's immune cells. Developing precise and effective antibiofilm approaches and strategies, tailored to the specific characteristics of EPS composition, can offer valuable insights for the creation of novel antimicrobial drugs. This, in turn, holds the potential to mitigate the alarming issue of bacterial drug resistance. Current analysis of EPS compositions relies heavily on colorimetric approaches with a significant bias, which is likely due to the selection of a standard compound and the cross-interference of various EPS compounds. Considering the pivotal role of EPS in biofilm functionality, it is imperative for EPS research to delve deeper into the analysis of intricate compositions, moving beyond the current focus on polymeric materials. This necessitates a shift from heavy reliance on colorimetric analytic methods to more comprehensive and nuanced analytical approaches. In this study, we have provided a comprehensive summary of existing analytical methods utilized in the characterization of EPS compositions. Additionally, novel strategies aimed at targeting EPS to enhance biofilm penetration were explored, with a specific focus on highlighting the limitations associated with colorimetric methods. Furthermore, we have outlined the challenges faced in identifying additional components of EPS and propose a prospective research plan to address these challenges. This review has the potential to guide future researchers in the search for novel compounds capable of suppressing EPS, thereby inhibiting biofilm formation. This insight opens up a new avenue for exploration within this research domain.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have initially reported accompanying elevated 2-deoxy-2[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]F-FDG) inflammatory activity in the remote area and its prognostic value after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Non-invasive characterization of the accompanying inflammation in the remote myocardium may be of potency in guiding future targeted theranostics. [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor targeting chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) on the surface of inflammatory cells is currently one of the promising inflammatory imaging agents. In this study, we sought to focus on the longitudinal evolution of [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor activities in the remote myocardium following AMI and its association with cardiac function. METHODS: Twelve AMI rats and six Sham rats serially underwent [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor imaging at pre-operation, and 5, 7, 14 days post-operation. Maximum and mean standard uptake value (SUV) and target-to-background ratio (TBR) were assessed to indicate the uptake intensity. Gated [18F]F-FDG imaging and immunofluorescent staining were performed to obtain cardiac function and responses of pro-inflammatory and reparative macrophages, respectively. RESULTS: The uptake of [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor in the infarcted myocardium peaked at day 5 (all P = 0.003), retained at day 7 (all P = 0.011), and recovered at day 14 after AMI (P > 0.05), paralleling with the rise-fall pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages (P < 0.05). Correlated with the peak activity in the infarct territory, [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor uptake in the remote myocardium on day 5 early after AMI significantly increased (AMI vs. Sham: SUVmean, SUVmax, and TBRmean: all P < 0.05), and strongly correlated with contemporaneous EDV and/or ESV (SUVmean and TBRmean: both P < 0.05). The transitory remote activity recovered as of day 7 post-AMI (AMI vs. Sham: P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Corresponding with the peaked [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor activity in the infarcted myocardium, the activity in the remote region elevated accordingly and led to contemporaneous left ventricular remodelling early after AMI. Further studies are warranted to clarify its clinical application potential.

RESUMEN

As a critical radioactive anionic contaminant, traditional adsorbents primarily remove iodate (IO3 -) through ion exchange or hard acid-hard base interactions, but suffer from limited affinity and capacity. Herein, employing the synergistic effect of ion exchange and redox, we successfully synthesized a redox-active cationic polymer network (SCU-CPN-6, [C9H10O2N5 ⋅ Cl]n) by merging guanidino groups with ion-exchange capability and phenolic groups with redox ability via a Schiff base reaction. SCU-CPN-6 exhibits a groundbreaking adsorption capacity of 896 mg/g for IO3 -. The inferior adsorption capacities of polymeric networks containing only redox (~0 mg/g) or ion exchange (232 mg/g) fragments underscore the synergistic "1+1>2" effect of the two mechanisms. Besides, SCU-CPN-6 shows excellent uptake selectivity for IO3 - in the presence of high concentrations of SO4 2-, Cl-, and NO3 -. Meanwhile, a high distribution coefficient indicates its exemplary deep-removal performance for low IO3 - concentration. The synergic strategy not only presents a breakthrough solution for the efficient removal of IO3 - but also establishes a promising avenue for the design of advanced adsorbents for diverse applications.

RESUMEN

We here reported a highly stereoselective method for the synthesis of polysubstituted conjugated dienes from α-aryl α-diazo alkynyl ketones and pyrazole-substituted unsymmetric aminals under mild conditions, which was promoted by photo-irridation and involved with 1,6-dipolar intermediate and quadruple sigmatropic rearrangements, was successfully developed. In this transformation, the cleavage of four bonds and the recombination of five bonds were implemented in one operational step. This protocol provided a modular tool for constructing dienes from amines, pyrazoles and α-alkynyl-α-diazoketones in one-pot manner. The results of mechanistic investigation indicated that the plausible reaction path underwent the 1,6-sigmatropic rearrangement instead of the 1,5-sigmatropic rearrangement.

RESUMEN

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in rainfall participates in many biogeochemical cycles in aquatic environments and affects biological activities in water bodies. Revealing the characteristics of rainfall DOM could broaden our understanding of the carbon cycle. Therefore, the distribution characteristics and response mechanisms of DOM to microorganisms were investigated in different regions of Hebei. The results indicated that the water quality of the northern region was worse than that of the middle and southern regions. The two protein like components (C1, C2) and one humic like component (C3) were obtained; at high molecular weight (MW), the fluorescence intensity is high in the northern region (0.03 ± 0.02 R.U.), while at low MW, the fluorescence intensity is highest in the southern region (0.50 ± 0.18 R.U.). Furthermore, C2 is significantly positively correlated with C1 (P < 0.01), while C2 is significantly negatively correlated with C3 (P < 0.05) was observed. The spectral index results indicated that rainfall DOM exhibited low humification and highly autochthonous characteristics. The southern region obtained higher richness and diversity of microbial species than northern region (P < 0.05). The community exhibits significant spatiotemporal differences, and the Acinetobacter, Enterobacter, and Massilia, were dominant genus. Redundancy and network analyses showed that the effects of C1, C2, and nitrate on microorganisms increased with decreasing MW, while low MW exhibited a more complex network between DOM and microorganisms than high MW. Meanwhile, C1, C2 had a large total effect on ß-diversity and function through structural equation modeling. The backward trajectory model indicates that the sources of air masses are from the northwest, local area, and sea in the northern, middle, and southern regions, respectively. This study broadened the understanding of the composition of summer rainfall DOM and its interactions with microorganisms during rainfall.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Millions of people worldwide are affected by psoriasis, one of the most prevalent skin conditions. Currently, there is a lack of high-quality epidemiological reports on psoriasis. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to reveal trends in psoriasis epidemiology in 1990-2019. METHODS: Using data from the GBD study 2019, we examined psoriasis epidemiology globally and across regions defined by the social-demographic index (SDI). Trends in incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates were assessed using estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC)s. Age-period-cohort analysis examined risk variations, and decomposition analysis identified factors impacting the psoriasis burden. A Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort model predicted future incidence. Frontier analysis associated psoriasis outcomes with socio-demographic development. RESULTS: In 2019, the global psoriasis burden included 4,622,594 incidence, 40,805,386 prevalence, and 3,505,736 DALY cases. Despite variations in SDI regions, the overall trend showed a decline in psoriasis rates from 1990 to 2019 (EAPC = - 0.76). The age-specific analysis indicated that the highest incidence of psoriasis was observed among individuals aged 40-64 years (global, 1,606,429). Epidemiological shifts contributed negatively to global incidence and DALYs by - 80.52% and - 103.06%, respectively. Countries like San Marino and Spain displayed the highest effective differences in the decomposition analysis. By 2030, while incidence cases per 10,000 might rise (487.36, 423.62 to 551.10), age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 were predicted to decline (53.67, 0.00 to 259.99). CONCLUSION: This research revealed a global decline in psoriasis incidence rate from 1990 to 2019, with predictions suggesting this trend continues through 2030. Geographic disparities underscore the importance of tailored healthcare policies.
