RESUMEN
Cyclic peptides offer a range of notable advantages, including potent antibacterial properties, high binding affinity and specificity to target molecules, and minimal toxicity, making them highly promising candidates for drug development. However, a comprehensive database that consolidates both synthetically derived and naturally occurring cyclic peptides is conspicuously absent. To address this void, we introduce CyclicPepedia (https://www.biosino.org/iMAC/cyclicpepedia/), a pioneering database that encompasses 8744 known cyclic peptides. This repository, structured as a composite knowledge network, offers a wealth of information encompassing various aspects of cyclic peptides, such as cyclic peptides' sources, categorizations, structural characteristics, pharmacokinetic profiles, physicochemical properties, patented drug applications, and a collection of crucial publications. Supported by a user-friendly knowledge retrieval system and calculation tools specifically designed for cyclic peptides, CyclicPepedia will be able to facilitate advancements in cyclic peptide drug development.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The enteric nervous system (ENS), the gut's intrinsic nervous system critical for gastrointestinal function and gut-brain communication, is believed to mainly originate from vagal neural crest cells (vNCCs) and partially from sacral NCCs (sNCCs). Resolving the exact origins of the ENS is critical for understanding congenital ENS diseases but has been confounded by the inability to distinguish between both NCC populations in situ. Here, we aimed to resolve the exact origins of the mammalian ENS. METHODS: We genetically engineered mouse embryos facilitating comparative lineage-tracing of either all (pan-) NCCs including vNCCs or caudal trunk and sNCCs (s/tNCCs) excluding vNCCs. This was combined with dual-lineage tracing and 3-dimensional reconstruction of pelvic plexus and hindgut to precisely pinpoint sNCC and vNCC contributions. We further used coculture assays to determine the specificity of cell migration from different neural tissues into the hindgut. RESULTS: Both pan-NCCs and s/tNCCs contributed to established NCC derivatives but only pan-NCCs contributed to the ENS. Dual-lineage tracing combined with 3-dimensional reconstruction revealed that s/tNCCs settle in complex patterns in pelvic plexus and hindgut-surrounding tissues, explaining previous confusion regarding their contributions. Coculture experiments revealed unspecific cell migration from autonomic, sensory, and neural tube explants into the hindgut. Lineage tracing of ENS precursors lastly provided complimentary evidence for an exclusive vNCC origin of the murine ENS. CONCLUSIONS: sNCCs do not contribute to the murine ENS, suggesting that the mammalian ENS exclusively originates from vNCCs. These results have immediate implications for comprehending (and devising treatments for) congenital ENS disorders, including Hirschsprung's disease.

In this paper, high-order LP modes based Sagnac interference for temperature sensing are proposed and investigated theoretically. Based on the specific high-order LP modes excited through the mode selective couplers (MSCs), we design a stress-induced Panda-type few-mode fiber (FMF) supporting 4 LP modes and construct a Sagnac interferometer to achieve a highly sensitive temperature sensor. The performances of different LP modes (LP01, LP11, LP21, and LP02) are explored under a single Sagnac interferometer and paralleled Sagnac interferometers, respectively. LP21 mode has the highest temperature sensitivity. Compared with fundamental mode (LP01), the temperature sensitivity based on LP21 mode improved by 18.2% at least. In addition, a way to achieve the enhanced optical Vernier effect is proposed. It should be noted that two Sagnac loops are located in two temperature boxes of opposite variation trends, respectively. Both two Sagnac interferometers act as the sensing element, which is different from the traditional optical Vernier effect. The temperature sensitivity of novel enhanced optical Vernier effect is magnified by 8 times, which is larger than 5 times the traditional Vernier effect. The novel approach avoids measurement errors and improves the stability of the sensing system. The focus of this research is on high-order mode interference, which has important guiding significance for the development of highly sensitive Sagnac sensors.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic choledochectomy and hepatojejunostomy have been reported in children since 1995, but this procedure is technically demanding. Robotic surgical systems can simplify complex minimally invasive procedures. Currently, few reports have been made on neonates. We present the experience of 6 cases of neonatal CC(choledochal cysts). STUDY DESIGN: Between January 2022 and December 2023, 6 neonates underwent robotic resection of choledochal cyst and hepaticojejunostomy using the Da Vinci surgical system at Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, a high-volume hepatobiliary disease center. demographic data of the patients and surgical outcomes were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: All 6 patients were successfully treated by robotic cystectomy and hepaticojejunostomy. The mean age was 17.3 days (range 4-25) and the mean weight was 3.6 kg (range 2.55-4.4). 5 cysts were type Ia and 1 was type Iva. The mean diameter of the cysts was 3.8 cm (range 1.25-5). The mean time to establish feeding was 4.83 days (range 4-6), and patients were discharged after a median time of 16.83 days (range 7-42) without postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: This procedure is safe and effective for neonates. The authors found that the use of robot-assisted surgery has ergonomic advantages in this delicate, minimally invasive procedure.

BACKGROUND: Trichobezoar is an extremely rare condition characterized by a foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) among children. The foreign body may exist in the digestive tract for several years, and it becomes evident if complications develop. The current study aimed to present 21 cases of GIT trichobezoars. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of children who were diagnosed with trichobezoars between August 2012 and December 2022. Patient demographics, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapy were collected and analyzed.Twenty-one patients had GIT trichobezoars. Data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients were identified. All patients were female. Their mean age at admission was 8.9 ± 1.9 years. Furthermore, 19 (90.5%) patients presented with abdominal pain, 16 (76.2%) with vomiting, and 13 (61.9%) with a palpable mass. Sixteen patients underwent gastroduodenoscopy. Among them, 15 had gastric trichobezoars. Moreover, 12 patients underwent computed tomography scan. Eight patients presented with gastric and small intestinal BZs, one presented with increased small intestinal contents with dilation, and one presented with abundant gastric contents. Then, 20 patients underwent surgery. Among them, five underwent laparoscopic-assisted minilaparotomy (LAML), and the rest underwent laparotomy. The results showed that 10 (50%) patients had gastric trichobezoars; 7 (35%), Rapunzel syndrome; and 3 (15%), small bowel trichobezoars. Two patients developed superficial wound infection postoperatively. One patient had a recurrent gastric trichobezoar. CONCLUSION: Trichobezoar should be considered in young girls with a history of hair eating or those with hair in the vomit or feces. Timely diagnosis and aggressive treatment are the keys to reducing complications and improving prognosis. Laparoscopic-assisted minilaparotomy is a safe, feasible, and effective surgical method for treating trichobezoars.

Nanostructures are powerful components for the development of high-performance nanodevices. Revealing and understanding the cell-nanostructure interface are essential for improving and guiding nanodevice design for investigations of cell physiology. For intracellular electrophysiological detection, the cell-nanostructure interface significantly affects the quality of recorded intracellular action potentials and the application of nanodevices in cardiology research and pharmacological screening. Most of the current investigations of biointerfaces focus on nanovertical structures, and few involve nanoconcave structures. Here, we design both nanoconvex and nanoconcave devices to perform intracellular electrophysiological recordings. The amplitude, signal-to-noise ratio, duration, and repeatability of the recorded intracellular electrophysiological signals provide a multifaceted characterization of the cell-nanostructure interface. We demonstrate that devices based on both convex and concave nanostructures can create tight coupling, which facilitates high-quality and stable intracellular recordings and paves the way for precise electrophysiological study.

A microscope usually consists of dozens of complex lenses and requires careful assembly, alignment, and testing before use. Chromatic aberration correction is a significant step in the design of microscopes. Reducing chromatic aberration by improving optical design will inevitably increase the overall weight and size of the microscope, leading to more cost in manufacturing and maintenance. Nevertheless, the improvement in hardware can only achieve limited correction. In this paper, we propose an algorithm based on cross-channel information alignment to shift some of the correction tasks from optical design to post-processing. Additionally, a quantitative framework is established to evaluate the performance of the chromatic aberration algorithm. Our algorithm outperforms the other state-of-the-art methods in both visual appearance and objective assessments. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can effectively obtain higher-quality images without changing the hardware or engaging the optical parameters.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Robotic surgery is becoming increasingly widely used in the field of pediatric surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted resection of benign pediatric splenic tumors and to discuss the technical points. METHODS: A total of 32 patients who were diagnosed with benign splenic tumors and underwent minimally invasive surgery from January 2017 to September 2023 were included in the study. The clinical data including demographic criteria, operative details, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Thirteen patients underwent robot-assisted surgery, and 19 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. The median operation time was 150 min, with an interquartile range (IQR) of 120 to 200 min for the robot-assisted group and 140 min with an IQR of 105 to 180 min in the laparoscopic group (P = 0.318). Despite four cases in the laparoscopic group (21%) being converted to laparotomy because of intraoperative bleeding, compared with none in the robot-assisted group, there was no significant difference between two groups (P = 0.128). The intraoperative volume of blood loss was significantly less (P = 0.041), and the hospitalization expense was significantly higher (P = 0.000) in the robot-assisted group than for the laparoscopic group. There was no significant difference in patients' age, tumor size, postoperative feeding time, and the postoperative hospitalization time between two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Robot-assisted benign splenic tumor resection was safe and feasible, and it reduced surgical trauma for the pediatric patient.

BACKGROUND: There are few studies comparing robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) and laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LAS) in Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR). This study aimed to compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between RAS and LAS performed during the same period. METHODS: All consecutive 75 patients with pathologically diagnosed as HSCR who underwent Swenson pull-through surgery from April 2020 to Nov 2022, were included. Patients were divided into RAS group and LAS group and a retrospective analysis was performed based on clinical indexes and prognosis. RESULTS: A total of 75 patients were included, among which, 31 patients received RAS and 44 received LAS. The RAS and LAS groups had similar ages, sex, weight, postoperative hospital stays, and fasting times. Compared with LAS, blood loss (p = 0.002) and the incidence of Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (p = 0.046) were significantly lower in the RAS group. The first onset of Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis in patients younger than 3 months occurred significantly earlier (p = 0.043). Two patients experienced anastomotic leakage in the LAS group and one patient experienced incisional hernia in the RAS group. The cost of RAS was significantly higher than that of LAS (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: RAS is a safe and effective alternative for HSCR children, and a delaying primary surgery until later in infancy (> 3 months) may improve outcomes.

Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae (MO), a disease-causing pathogen with some of the highest levels of morbidity and mortality, can spread silently at the herd level. A novel alternative nanoprobe for MO was prepared using porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the scaffold and hairpin DNA with specific sequences of MO and G4 segments as the probe. This preparation was based on the strong fluorescence emission by ThT (thioflavin T) in the limitation of G-quadruplexes with a cavity structure. The use of MOFs effectively limited the folding behavior of G4 as a part of the probe to improve the defect of the strong background signal caused by the free-state G4Probe in a buffer. The results from the selectivity experiment showed that only a trace amount of the target with lower ΔG could be the "key" to the highly efficient triggering of the release behavior of the G4Probe from MOFs and the subsequent change in the fluorescence behavior of ThT. The DNA targets could be determined by observing the change in the signal. More importantly, the probe showed a low detection limit and a good linear correlation between the concentration of target DNA ranging from 10-10 M to 10-6 M not only in buffer but also in natural complex media. Moreover, the operation involved in the whole strategy was simple and the total cost was low. These findings demonstrated the value of the probe in further clinical diagnosis. This study reports the successful construction of a ΔG-sensitive sensor for MO for the first time.

A new turn-on fluorescent chemosensor (RBTM) for Fe3+ was designed based on Rhodamine B and a thiocarbonylimidazole moiety. The spectroscopic probe used for characterization of the synthesized system showed 300-fold fluorescence enhancement for the detection of Fe3+ with a 1:1 stoichiometry in EtOH/H2O solution (2:1, v/v, HEPES buffer, 1 mM, pH 7.30). Upon addition of Fe3+ in aqueous ethanol, the probe displayed a significant fluorescence enhancement and a distinct color change (colorless to pink) that can be detected by the naked eye. The binding constant between the probe and Fe3+ was determined to be 1.16 × 104 M-1 and the corresponding detection limit was calculated to be 0.256 µM. In addition, the energy gaps between the HOMO and LUMO in RBTM and RBTM-Fe3+ were calculated using DFT calculations to be 92.93 kcal/mol and 37.49 kcal/mol, respectively. The results indicate that binding of Fe3+ to RBTM lowered the HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the complex and stabilized the system. Fluorescence imaging experiments demonstrated that RBTM can be used as a fluorescent probe to detect Fe3+ in MKN-45 cells and dorsal root ganglia, thus revealing that RBTM could be used for biological applications.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical application of preoperative retrograde portal venography for children with cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). METHODS: The clinical data of 8 cases of CTPV admitted in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2018 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative retrograde portography was performed to determine the corresponding vascular morphology and size of portal vein system. If the retrograde portography showed that the left branch of the shadow portal vein was unobstructed and its diameter was greater than 3 mm, Rex shunt would be performed after anatomic exploration of Rex recess; if retrograde portography showed that the diameter of left portal vein was less than 3 mm, but the diameter of left renal vein dissected during shunt operation was greater than 5 mm, Warren operation was selected. The patients were followed up for 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge, and then were followed up every 6 months. RESULTS: Retrograde portal venography was successfully performed in 8 child patients.The anatomical position and size of main portal vein and its left and right branches, left renal vein and other important vessels were determined. Among them, there was the well-developed left and right branches of portal vein in 4 child patients, in which the left and right branches of portal vein converged together, but did not communicate with the main portal vein. In addition, the left branch diameter of the portal vein was greater than 3 mm, and the anatomical exploration results during shunt were consistent with it, so Rex shunt was performed. In the other 4 cases, the left branch diameter of the portal vein was small (less than 3 mm) in 3 cases, and the right branch was not clearly developed. Moreover, the left branch of the portal vein was poorly developed and almost occluded in 1 case. However, the left renal vein in these 4 child patients was well developed, the blood flow was unobstructed and the diameter was greater than 5 mm, so Warren operation was performed. Seven patients recovered well after the operation, and the other one had digestive tract rudimentary one year after operation, and the condition was stable after conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The preoperative retrograde portal venography can be used to evaluate the portal vein system in children with CTPV, which provides important clinical basis for making appropriate treatment plan before surgery.

BACKGROUND: Cost-sensitive algorithm is an effective strategy to solve imbalanced classification problem. However, the misclassification costs are usually determined empirically based on user expertise, which leads to unstable performance of cost-sensitive classification. Therefore, an efficient and accurate method is needed to calculate the optimal cost weights. RESULTS: In this paper, two approaches are proposed to search for the optimal cost weights, targeting at the highest weighted classification accuracy (WCA). One is the optimal cost weights grid searching and the other is the function fitting. Comparisons are made between these between the two algorithms above. In experiments, we classify imbalanced gene expression data using extreme learning machine to test the cost weights obtained by the two approaches. CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive experimental results show that the function fitting method is generally more efficient, which can well find the optimal cost weights with acceptable WCA.

Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped nano-glass ceramics (GCs) containing isotropic KY3F10 nanocrystals (NCs) are obtained from a simple ternary oxyfluoride glass by controlled crystallization. The nano-GCs thus obtained, albeit having very large crystallinity of â¼35%, are ultratransparent in the whole visible-light wavelength region of 300-700 nm. Remarkably enhanced green upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Er3+ (by 55 times) is observed in the nano-GCs as compared to the precursor glass. Absolute quantum efficiency of the green UCL reaches as high as 0.41±0.02% in the GCs under 10 W/cm2 power density. The UCL efficiency is comparable to that of the famous ZBLAN: Yb3+/Er3+ glass and GCs containing ß-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ NCs, and nearly twice as large as that of GCs containing KYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ NCs under the same excitation conditions.
RESUMEN
With a specially designed composition, highly transparent Yb3+/Er3+-doped fluorosilicate glass ceramic (GC) containing KMnF3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) is obtained for the first time. The rare-earth ions are preferentially accumulated in regions embedded with KMnF3 NCs; as a result, a remarkably enhanced (by an order of magnitude) single-band red upconversion luminescence (UCL) is achieved. Absolute quantum efficiency of the red UCL, which cannot be measured in previous GCs owing to insufficiency, reaches as high as 0.10%±0.02% in the GC sample reported in this Letter. This value is even higher than that of the well-known multiband emitting ß-NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+ NCs and widely recognized GCs containing NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+NCs.
RESUMEN
Two new pyridine-type rhodamine B chemosensors (RBPO and RBPF) used to detect Fe3+ have been designed and synthesized, and the sensing behavior towards various metal ions was evaluated via UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. Both RBPO and RBPF not only have good spectral responses to Fe3+ in an EtOH/H2O solution (3 : 1, v/v, HEPES, 0.5 mM, pH = 7.33) with low detection limits and high binding constants, but also suffer from less interference from common metal cations. The two chemosensors are further proven to be practical in sensitively monitoring trace Fe3+ in real water specimens. Intracellular imaging applications demonstrated that RBPO and RBPF can be used as two fluorescent chemosensors for the detection of Fe3+ in living human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in treatment of children with congenital choledochal cyst. METHODS: One hundred and thirty children with congenital choledochal cysts admitted in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University from June 2017 to June 2019 were divided into ERAS group (n=65) and control group (n=65) according to admission order. The intestinal tract condition during operation, time of operation, surgical results, time for eating after operation, abdominal drainage after operation, length of hospital stay after operation, total hospital expenses and complications were compared between two groups. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the satisfaction of intestinal operation field, recovery of gastrointestinal function after operation,time required for the volume of peritoneal drainage fluid to be less than 50 mL,time of abdominal drainage tube removal, and length of hospital stay were all improved in ERAS group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).ERAS group had more peritoneal effusion after removal of abdominal drainage tube (P<0.01), but the incidence of edema after operation was lower (P<0.05). The satisfaction of parents in the two groups was similar, but the cooperation of parents in the ERAS group was improved (P<0.05) and the total cost of hospitalization was reduced (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: ERAS has advantages over the traditional scheme and can be used in the clinical treatment of children with congenital choledochal cyst.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of annular pancreas in neonates. METHODS: Clinical data of 114 neonates with annular pancreas admitted in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2009 to December 2018 were reviewed. The demographic parameters (gestational age, birth weight), clinical manifestations, onset time, results of antenatal examination, associated anomalies, radiological findings, operations, postoperative complications were analyzed. RESULTS: One hundred and two cases were examined by abdominal echography, in which 68 cases showed duodenal obstruction, 4 cases showed annular pancreas. Plain abdomen X-ray examination performed in 113 cases before operation, 76 cases presented double-bubble sign, 12 cases presented single-bubble sign and 5 cases had high-position intestinal obstruction. Upper gastrointestinal radiography (UGI) was performed in 103 cases, which suggested duodenal obstruction in 102 cases. Operations were performed in all cases, of which 69 cases were operated under laparoscopy including 1 case converted to open laparotomy. The mean fasting time after surgery was (7.8±2.7) d, and the mean length of hospital stay was (16.9±10.1) d. Five patients had postoperative complications. The incidence of postoperative complications in antenatal abnormal group was lower than that in the antenatal non-abnormal group (P<0.05); the average fasting time in laparoendscopic surgery group was shorter than that in traditional laparotomy group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Neonates with recurrent vomiting early after birth should be highly suspected to have annular pancreas. The fetal chromosome examination should be performed with abnormal antenatal screening. Surgery is the only effective way to diagnose and treat annular pancreas, and laparoscopic surgery could be the first choice for experienced doctors.

In order to solve imperfection of heart rate extraction by method of traditional ballistocardiogram (BCG), this paper proposes an improved method for detecting heart rate by BCG. First, weak cardiac activity signals are acquired in real time by embedded sensors. Local BCG beats are obtained by signal filtering and signal conversion. Second, the heart rate is estimated directly from the BCG beat without the use of a heartbeat template. Compared with other methods, the proposed method has strong advantages in heart rate data accuracy and anti-interference, and it also realizes non-contact online detection. Finally, by analyzing the data of more than 20,000 heart rates of 13 subjects, the average beat error was 0.86% and the coverage was 96.71%. It provides a new way to estimate heart rate for hospital clinical and home care.
