RESUMEN
Pollution accident of nonferrous metallurgy industry often lead to serious heavy metal pollution of the surrounding soil. Phytoremediation of contaminated soil is an environmental and sustainable technology, and soil native microorganisms in the process of phytoremediation also participate in the remediation of heavy metals. However, the effects of high concentrations of multiple heavy metals (HCMHMs) on plants and native soil microorganisms remain uncertain. Thus, further clarification of the mechanism of phytoremediation of HCMHMs soil by plants and native soil microorganisms is required. Using the plant Sedum alfredii (S. alfredii) to restore HCMHM-contaminated soil, we further explored the mechanism of S. alfredii and native soil microorganisms in the remediation of HCMHM soils. The results showed that (i) S. alfredii can promote heavy metals from non-rhizosphere soil to rhizosphere soil, which is conducive to the effect of plants on heavy metals. In addition, it can also enrich the absorbed heavy metals in its roots and leaves; (ii) native soil bacteria can increase the abundance of signal molecule-synthesizing enzymes, such as trpE, trpG, bjaI, rpfF, ACSL, and yidC, and promote the expression of the pathway that converts serine to cysteine, then synthesize substances to chelate heavy metals. In addition, we speculated that genes such as K19703, K07891, K09711, K19703, K07891, and K09711 in native bacteria may be involved in the stabilization or absorption of heavy metals. The results provide scientific basis for S. alfredii to remediate heavy metals contaminated soils, and confirm the potential of phytoremediation of HCMHM contaminated soil.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to explore the impact of adherence to Life's Simple 7 (LS7) metrics on risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and the impact of inflammation on the association, in adults in the United States. METHODS: Data from 13,825 community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 20 years recruited in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2005-2008, 2015-2018 was analyzed. The LS7 score was calculated based on the AHA definition of LS7 metrics. The diagnosis of OSA was based on self-reported symptoms of sleep disturbance using a standard questionnaire. The Multivariable Apnea Prediction (MAP) Index score was also calculated to assess the risk of OSA. Log-binominal regression and negative binomial regression were performed to estimate the associations between LS7 and OSA and MAP index, with odds ratios (ORs) and prevalence ratios (PRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. Mediation analysis was performed to estimate the mediating effects of inflammatory indicators on the associations. RESULTS: A total of 4473 participants (32.4%) had OSA, and the mean MAP index was 0.39. In fully adjusted log-binominal regression models, with total score < 6 as the reference, the ORs (95% CIs) for risk of OSA were 0.90 (0.73, 1.10), 0.76 (0.65, 0.89), 0.78 (0.64, 0.95), and 0.45 (0.38, 0.54) for total score = 6, total score = 7, total score = 8, and total score > 8, respectively (P for trend < 0.001). When LS7 score was analyzed as a continuous variable, each 1-point increase in LS7 score was associated with a 15% decrease in OSA risk (P < 0.001). In negative binominal regression models, the adjusted PRs (95% CIs) for the MAP index were 0.93 (0.90, 0.97), 0.87 (0.84, 0.91), 0.80 (0.77, 0.84), and 0.55 (0.53, 0.57) for total score = 6, total score = 7, total score = 8, and total score > 8, respectively (P for trend < 0.001). For each 1-point increase in LS7 score, the risk of OSA decreased by 13% (P < 0.001). Consistent results were observed in subgroup analysis. Mediation analysis indicated that inflammatory factors, including blood cell count, neutrophil count, and C-reactive protein, positively mediated the association of LS7 with OSA, with a mediation proportion of 0.022 (P = 0.04), 0.02 (P = 0.04), and 0.02 (P = 0.02), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In a nationally representative sample of US adults, adherence to LS7 metrics was independently associated with reduced OSA risk. Inflammation plays a mediating role in the association between LS7 and OSA.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) offer a promising energy-efficient alternative to artificial neural networks (ANNs), in virtue of their high biological plausibility, rich spatial-temporal dynamics, and event-driven computation. The direct training algorithms based on the surrogate gradient method provide sufficient flexibility to design novel SNN architectures and explore the spatial-temporal dynamics of SNNs. According to previous studies, the performance of models is highly dependent on their sizes. Recently, direct training deep SNNs have achieved great progress on both neuromorphic datasets and large-scale static datasets. Notably, transformer-based SNNs show comparable performance with their ANN counterparts. In this paper, we provide a new perspective to summarize the theories and methods for training deep SNNs with high performance in a systematic and comprehensive way, including theory fundamentals, spiking neuron models, advanced SNN models and residual architectures, software frameworks and neuromorphic hardware, applications, and future trends.
RESUMEN
Merging two droplets into a droplet to add and mix two contents is one of the common droplet microfluidic functions with droplet generation and sorting, performing broad ranges of biological and chemical assays in droplets. However, traditional droplet-merging techniques often encounter unsynchronized droplets, causing overmerging or mis-merging, and unwanted merging outside of the desired zone. This is more severe when the incoming droplets to be merged are polydisperse in their sizes, often observed in assays that require long-term incubation, elevated-temperature, and/or multiple droplet processing steps. Here, we developed an interdigitated electrode (IDE)-based droplet merger consisting of a droplet autosynchronizing channel and a merging channel. The autosynchronizing channel provides >95% merging efficiency even when 20% polydispersity in the droplet size exists. The highly localized and enhanced dielectrophoretic force generated by the IDEs on the channel bottom allows droplet merging at an extremely low voltage (4.5 V) and only locally at the IDE region. A systematic evaluation of how various design and operation parameters of the IDE merger, such as IDE finger dimensions, dielectric coating layer thickness, droplet size, and droplet flow speed impact the performance was conducted. The optimized device showed consistent performance even when operating for up to 100 h consecutively at high throughput (100 droplets/s). The presented technology has been integrated into a droplet microfluidics workflow to test the lytic activities of bacteriophage on bacterial host cells with 100% merging efficiency. We expect this function to be integrated into droplet microfluidic systems performing broad ranges of high-throughput chemical and biological assays.
RESUMEN
Introduction: Sclerotherapy is a commonly utilized treatment approach for venous malformations. Absolute ethanol is renowned for its remarkable efficacy as a potent sclerosants, but it is potentially associated with severe complications. Foam sclerotherapy is considered superior to liquid sclerotherapy owing to its heightened efficacy and diminished incidence of complications. Thus, our objective was to devise an ethanol foam sclerosant that delivers exceptional efficacy while mitigating complications. Methods: In the first set of experiments, we identified the suitable range of ethanol concentrations for sclerotherapy through human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation assays and blood clotting experiments. Next, the surfactants polysorbate 80, egg yolk lecithin, and hyaluronic acid were added to create stable ethanol foam, with their ratios meticulously optimized. Results: The optimal concentration range of ethanol was determined to be 30-60%. Eventually, a 48% ethanol foam was successfully produced with excellent stability. Other than ethanol, the formulation included 5 × 10-3 g/mL polysorbate 80, 10-2 g/mL egg yolk lecithin, and 0.04 mL/mL hyaluronic acid. Discussion: The novel ethanol foam produced here could be a promising candidate for the treatment of venous malformations.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a cutting-edge and highly effective marker of insulin resistance, a crucial factor in the development and exacerbation of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). To date, there has been limited research on how the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index affects the outlook for patients suffering from DKD. METHODS: In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, the analysis recruited 2,203 DKD patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset, which covers the US from 2001 to 2018. The research applied a Cox proportional hazards model with multiple variables to investigate the association of the TyG index with mortality outcomes. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) and methods for analyzing threshold effects were employed to identify possible non-linear relationships. RESULTS: Over nearly 19 years of follow-up, this study captured data on 753 all-cause and 231 cardiovascular disease-specific fatalities. Sophisticated statistical methods, including RCS and smoothing curve adjustments via penalized splines, helped identify distinctive patterns: The baseline TyG index was observed to have a U-shaped pattern related to overall mortality and an L-shape with cardiovascular diseases(CVD) mortality among individuals with DKD. Notably, TyG index below 9.15 for overall mortality and 9.27 for CVD mortality were linked to reduced death rates (HR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.52-0.82 for all-cause; HR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.43-0.83 for CVD). On the other hand, TyG index exceeding these benchmarks (greater than 9.15 for all-cause and 9.27 for CVD) correlated with increased all-cause mortality risks (HR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.02-1.43) and showed a non-significant change in CVD mortality risks (HR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.83-1.38). CONCLUSIONS: This study emphasizes the non-linear linkage involving the TyG index and death rates due to CVD and other factors in patients with DKD, demonstrating its effectiveness in estimating potential adverse events within this demographic.

What is already known about this topic?: Many studies have shown that hearing loss (HL) is a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia, but there are still limited studies on this association among Chinese older adults. What is added by this report?: Based on the results of pure-tone audiometry tests, HL is associated with cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults. The odds ratios (ORs) were 1.23 (1.08-1.40) for mild HL, 1.55 (1.32-1.82) for moderate HL, and 1.87 (1.47-2.39) for severe or profound HL. What are the implications for public health practice?: Enhanced public awareness of hearing protection is important for preventing cognitive impairment. It is advocated to promote the screening of HL and cognitive function assessment in elderly health examinations or management in primary care services.
RESUMEN

What are the implications for public health practice?: Timely intervention and treatment for elderly individuals with HL, particularly younger female elders suffering from severe or profound HL, are pivotal in reducing depressive symptom rates and are key policy considerations.
RESUMEN
Background: Restoring and maintaining sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been studied in clinical trials to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Limited data exist on the effectiveness of rate or rhythm control therapy in these patients. Methods: Consecutive patients with AF and ACS or referred for PCI were prospectively recruited in Fuwai Hospital during 2017-2020. The primary endpoints were all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), including cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, non-central nervous system embolism and ischemia-driven revascularization. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regressions were performed to evaluate the association between rhythm/rate control and subsequent outcomes. For the primary endpoints, we used the Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons. Results: A total of 1499 patients with AF and ACS or undergoing PCI were included, with a median follow-up of 34.7 months. Compared to non-rate control, rate control strategy reduced the risk of subsequent MACCEs (adjusted HR, 0.320; 95 % CI 0.220-0.466; p <0.001; *p <0.002) and all-cause death (adjusted HR, 0.148; 95 % CI 0.093-0.236; p <0.001; *p <0.002). Similar trends were observed across all predefined subgroups (p <0.001). In the final multivariate model, rhythm control was not associated with a lower subsequent MACCEs but significantly improved all-cause mortality compared to non-rhythm control (adjusted HR, 0.546; 95 % CI 0.313-0.951; p =0.033; *p =0.044). Conclusions: In this real-world study, rate control strategy was associated with lower risk of MACCEs and all-cause death in AF and ACS or undergoing PCI. Besides, management with rhythm control strategy may improve all-cause mortality.
RESUMEN
The sulfur powder as electron donor in driving dual-chamber microbial fuel cell denitrification (S) process has the advantages in economy and pollution-free to treat nitrate-contained groundwater. However, the low efficiency of electron utilization in sulfur oxidation (ACE) is the bottleneck to this method. In this study, the addition of calcined pyrite to the S system (SCP) accelerated electron generation and intra/extracellular transfer efficiency, thereby improving ACE and denitrification performance. The highest nitrate removal rate reached to 3.55 ± 0.01 mg N/L/h in SCP system, and the ACE was 103 % higher than that in S system. More importantly, calcined pyrite enhanced the enrichment of functional bacteria (Burkholderiales, Thiomonas and Sulfurovum) and functional genes which related to sulfur metabolism and electron transfer. This study was more effective in removing nitrate from groundwater without compromising the water quality.
RESUMEN
Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is a medical plant rich in triterpenoids, frequently used in Asia to treat skin conditions such as acne. To search for anti-photoaging agents, 16 known triterpenoids and five undescribed triterpenoids, including three ursane, one oleanane and one nor-ursane were isolated from the whole herb of C. asiatica. The structures and relative stereochemistry of these compounds were elucidated by detailed NMR spectra and HRESIMS. Compounds 1 and 2 were isomers of ursane-type and oleane-type triterpenes with rare aldehyde groups on C-23. Compound 4 was a unique example of a nor-ursane type triterpenoid. The Ultraviolet B (UVB) induced HaCaT cell damage model was used to measure the in vitro anti-photoaging activity of all 21 compounds. Twenty compounds significantly increased HaCaT viability and inhibited lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release after UVB exposure. These findings highlight the protective effects of C. asiatica-derived triterpenoids against UVB damage and indicate their potential as natural agents that can protect the skin against photoaging.
RESUMEN
Renal fibrosis, a critical factor in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is predominantly initiated by acute kidney injury (AKI) and subsequent maladaptive repair resulting from pharmacological or pathological stimuli. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), also known as phosphatase and tensin-associated phosphatase, plays a pivotal role in regulating the physiological behavior of renal tubular epithelial cells, glomeruli, and renal interstitial cells, thereby preserving the homeostasis of renal structure and function. It significantly impacts cell proliferation, apoptosis, fibrosis, and mitochondrial energy metabolism during AKI-to-CKD transition. Despite gradual elucidation of PTEN's involvement in various kidney injuries, its specific role in AKI and maladaptive repair after injury remains unclear. This review endeavors to delineate the multifaceted role of PTEN in renal pathology during AKI and CKD progression along with its underlying mechanisms, emphasizing its influence on oxidative stress, autophagy, non-coding RNA-mediated recruitment and activation of immune cells as well as renal fibrosis. Furthermore, we summarize prospective therapeutic targeting strategies for AKI and CKD-treatment related diseases through modulation of PTEN.
RESUMEN
Intertidal algae may adapt to environmental challenges by acquiring genes from other organisms and relying on symbiotic microorganisms. Here, we obtained a symbiont-free and chromosome-level genome of Pyropia haitanensis (47.2 Mb), a type of intertidal algae, by using multiple symbiont screening methods. We identified 286 horizontal gene transfer (HGT) genes, 251 of which harbored transposable elements (TEs), reflecting the importance of TEs for facilitating the transfer of genes into P. haitanensis. Notably, the bulked segregant analysis revealed that two HGT genes, sirohydrochlorin ferrochelatase and peptide-methionine (R)-S-oxide reductase, play a significant role in the adaptation of P. haitanensis to heat stress. Besides, we found Pseudomonas, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes are the major taxa among the symbiotic bacteria of P. haitanensis (nearly 50% of the HGT gene donors). Among of them, a heat-tolerant actinobacterial strain (Saccharothrix sp.) was isolated and revealed to be associated with the heat tolerance of P. haitanensis through its regulatory effects on the genes involved in proline synthesis (proC), redox homeostasis (ggt), and protein folding (HSP20). These findings contribute to our understanding of the adaptive evolution of intertidal algae, expanding our knowledge of the HGT genes and symbiotic microorganisms to enhance their resilience and survival in challenging intertidal environments.

Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitors promote the development of hair follicle stem cells without affecting normal cells, which is promising for the treatment of hair loss. Herein, a series of cyano-cinnamate derivatives of UK-5099 were designed and synthesized. All these new compounds have been tested for their ability to promote cellular lactate production in vitro. Compound 4i (LA content:0.322 µmol/106cell) showed better cellular lactate production activity than UK-5099 (LA content:0.185 µmol/106cell). Further compound 4i was also tested on shaved mice by topical treatment and promoted obvious hair growth on mice.
RESUMEN
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in riparian sediments plays a vital role in regulating element cycling and pollutant behavior of river ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs) and benthic animals (BAs) have been frequently detected in riparian sediments, influencing the substance transformation in river ecosystems. However, there is still a lack of systematic investigation on the effects of MPs and BAs on sediment DOM. This study investigated the impact of MPs and BAs on the geochemical characteristics of DOM in riparian sediments and their microbial mechanisms. The results showed that MPs and BAs increased sediment DOC concentration by 34.24%â¼232.97% and promoted the conversion of macromolecular components to small molecular components, thereby reducing the humification degree of DOM. Mathematical model verified that the changes of keystone microbes composition in sediments were direct factors affecting the characteristics of DOM in riparian sediment. Especially, MPs tolerant microbes, including Planctomicrobium, Rhodobacter, Hirschia and Lautropia, significantly increased DOC concentration and decreased humification degree (P < 0.05). In addition, MPs and BAs could also influence keystone microbes in sediments by altering the structure of microbial network, thereby indirectly affecting DOM characteristics. The study demonstrates the pollution behavior of MPs in river ecosystems and provides a basis for protecting the ecological function of riparian sediments from MPs pollution.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Adductor canal block and periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA) have been shown to relieve pain in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) effectively. However, their analgesic effectiveness has some limitations. Thus, we considered a novel blocking site that could achieve analgesia without affecting the muscle strength of the lower limbs. METHODS: Seventy-two patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty were randomized into two groups. One group was treated with adductor canal and popliteal plexus (APB) combined with interspace between the popliteal artery and posterior capsule of the knee (iPACK) and local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) and the other was treated with PIA. The primary outcomes included postoperative pain, as assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS), and the consumption of oral tramadol. Secondary outcomes included functional recovery and daily ambulation distance. Tertiary outcomes included postoperative adverse effects. RESULTS: The APB group had lower VAS scores after surgery at rest and during motion. Compared with the PIA group, the walking distance of the APB group on the second day was greater. The muscle strength of the APB group was lower than that of the PIA group at the early stage. Patients in the APB group also consumed less tramadol than those in the PIA group. There was no difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: APB combined with iPACK and LIA is a novel block for TKA, and it can reduce postoperative pain sooner after TKA without affecting postoperative functional recovery or increasing complications.
RESUMEN
Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) is a technique that uses specific off-resonance saturation pulses to pre-saturate targeted substances. This process influences the signal intensity of free water, thereby indirectly providing information about the pre-saturated substance. Among the clinical applications of CEST, Amide Proton Transfer (APT) is currently the most well-established. APT can be utilized for the preoperative grading of gliomas. Tumors with higher APTw signals generally indicate a higher likelihood of malignancy. In predicting preoperative molecular typing, APTw values are typically lower in tumors with favorable molecular phenotypes, such as isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations, compared to IDH wild-type tumors. For differential diagnosis, the average APTw values of meningiomas are significantly lower than those of high-grade gliomas. Various APTw measurement indices assist in distinguishing central nervous system lesions with similar imaging features, such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, central nervous system lymphoma, solitary brain metastases, and glioblastoma. Regarding prognosis, APT effectively differentiates between tumor recurrence and treatment effects, and also possesses predictive capabilities for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
RESUMEN
Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM) is a rare benign tumor of the lymph nodes, particularly in inguinal lymph nodes. IPM originating from the submandibular gland lymph nodes is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Herein, we report the case of a 31-year-old male patient with IPM of the submandibular gland region and describe in detail magnetic resonance imaging findings and pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging detected a heterogeneous lesion with a hypointense rim on T2-weighted imaging with specificity in the left submandibular gland region. This case report will contribute to the accumulation of experience in the diagnosis of this disease.
RESUMEN
Introduction: This study was conducted to compare the effects of nisin (NIS) and ionophore antibiotic monensin (MON) on the growth performance, rumen fermentation, nutrient digestion and plasma metabolites of fattening Hu sheep. Methods: Thirty-six male Hu sheep (23.5 ± 1.0 kg) were divided into two blocks based on BW (low BW and high BW). Sheep within each block were then allotted to 9 pens respectively (two sheep/pen). Pens within each block were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments: (1) basal diet (CON); (2) basal diet + 40 mg/kg DM of MON; (3) basal diet + 274.5 mg/kg DM of NIS. The study lasted 9 weeks, with the initial 2 weeks for adaptation and the subsequent 7 weeks for treatment. Results: The results showed that both NIS and MON addition had no impacts on average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), and feed conservation rate (G:F) of sheep (p > 0.05). The digestibility of ether extract (EE) was lower in the MON-fed and NIS-fed sheep (p < 0.01) than in the CON group, whereas crude protein (CP) digestibility was higher in the MON-fed sheep compared to those fed NIS (p < 0.05). Both NIS and MON supplementation decreased acetate levels and acetate/propionate ratio in the rumen of Hu sheep (p < 0.05). Sheep fed MON exhibited higher total cholesterol concentrations (p < 0.05) compared to the CON and NIS groups. However, there were no significant differences in other plasma metabolites, including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bile acid, triglyceride, total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, etc., among the three groups (p > 0.05). Discussion: In conclusion, dietary addition of NIS and MON altered the rumen fermentation mode by reducing acetate levels, with no discernible effects on the growth performance of the fattening Hu sheep.
RESUMEN
The African sharptooth catfish (Clarias gariepinus) assumes significance in aquaculture, given its role as a farmed freshwater species with modified gill structures functioning as an air-breathing organ (ABO). To provide a scientific basis for further elucidating the air-breathing formation mechanism and deeply utilizing the genetic resources of Clarias gariepinus, we utilized the PacBio sequencing platform to acquire a comprehensive full-length transcriptome from five juvenile developmental stages and various adult tissues, including the ABO, gills, liver, skin, and muscle. We generated 25,766,688 high-quality reads, with an average length of 2,006 bp and an N50 of 2,241 bp. Following rigorous quality control, 34,890 (97.7 %) of the high-quality isoforms were mapped to the reference genome for gene and transcript annotation, yielding 387 novel isoforms and 14,614 new isoforms. Additionally, we identified 28,582 open reading frames, 48 SNPs, 5,464 variable splices, and 6,141 variable polyadenylation sites, along with 475 long non-coding RNAs. Many DEGs were involved with low oxygen GO terms and KEGG pathways, such as response to stimulus, biological regulation and catalytic activities. Furthermore, it was found that transcription factors such as zf-C2H2, Homeobox, bHLH, and MYB could underpin the African sharptooth catfish's developmental plasticity and its capacity to adapt its morphology and function to its environment. Through the comprehensive analysis of its genomic characteristics, it was found that the African sharptooth catfish has developed a series of unique respiratory adaptive mechanisms during the evolutionary process, These results not only advances the understanding of genetic adaptations to hypoxia in Clarias fish but also provides a valuable framework for future studies aimed at improving aquaculture practices,besides provide important references and inspirations for the evolution of aquatic organisms.
