Discovery of a terpene synthase synthesizing a nearly non-flexible eunicellane reveals the basis of flexibility.

Eunicellane diterpenoids, containing a typical 6,10-bicycle, are bioactive compounds widely present in marine corals, but rarely found in bacteria and plants. The intrinsic macrocycle exhibits innate structural flexibility resulting in dynamic conformational changes. However, the mechanisms controlling flexibility remain unknown. The discovery of a terpene synthase, MicA, that is responsible for the biosynthesis of a nearly non-flexible eunicellane skeleton, enable us to propose a feasible theory about the flexibility in eunicellane structures. Parallel studies of all eunicellane synthases in nature discovered to date, including 2Z-geranylgeranyl diphosphate incubations and density functional theory-based Boltzmann population computations, reveale that a trans-fused bicycle with a 2Z-configuration alkene restricts conformational flexibility resulting in a nearly non-flexible eunicellane skeleton. The catalytic route and the enzymatic mechanism of MicA are also elucidated by labeling experiments, density functional theory calculations, structural analysis of the artificial intelligence-based MicA model, and mutational studies.

Influence of climatic variables on maize grain yield and its components by adjusting the sowing date.

Yield and its components are greatly affected by climate change. Adjusting the sowing date is an effective way to alleviate adverse effects and adapt to climate change. Aiming to determine the optimal sowing date of summer maize and clarify the contribution of climatic variables to grain yield and its components, a consecutive 4-year field experiment was conducted from 2016 to 2019 with four sowing dates at 10-day intervals from 5 June to 5 July. Analysis of historical meteorological data showed that more solar radiation (SR) was distributed from early June to mid-August, and the maximum temperature (Tmax) > 32°C appeared from early July to late August, which advanced and lasted longer in 1991-2020 relative to 1981-1990. Additionally, the precipitation was mainly distributed from early June to late July. The climate change in the growing season of summer maize resulted in optimal sowing dates ranging from 5 June to 15 June, with higher yields and yield stability, mainly because of the higher kernel number per ear and 1,000-grain weight. The average contribution of kernel number per ear to grain yield was 58.7%, higher than that of 1,000-grain weight (41.3%). Variance partitioning analysis showed that SR in 15 days pre-silking to 15 days post-silking (SS) and silking to harvest (SH) stages significantly contributed to grain yield by 63.1% and 86.4%. The extreme growing degree days (EDD) > 32°C, SR, precipitation, and diurnal temperature range (DTR) contributed 20.6%, 22.9%, 14.5%, and 42.0% to kernel number per ear in the SS stage, respectively. Therefore, we concluded that the early sowing dates could gain high yield and yield stability due to the higher SR in the growing season. Meanwhile, due to the decreasing trend in SR and increasing Tmax trend in this region, in the future, new maize varieties with high-temperature resistance, high light efficiency, shade tolerance, and medium-season traits need to be bred to adapt to climate change and increased grain yield.

The First Discovery of Marine Polyoxygenated Cembranolides as Potential Agents for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis.

Cembranolides are characteristic metabolites in marine soft corals, with complex structures and widespread biological activities. However, seldom has an intensive pharmacological study been done for these intriguing marine natural products. In this work, systematic chemical investigation was performed on Sinularia pedunculata by HSQC-based small molecule accurate recognition technology (SMART), resulting in the isolation and identification of 31 cembrane-type diterpenoids, including six new ones. In the bioassay, several compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory activities on the inhibition of NO production. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) was comprehensively analyzed, and two most bioactive and less toxic compounds 8 and 9 could inhibit inflammation through suppressing NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, and reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. In a mouse model of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute colitis, 8 and 9 exhibited good anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to repair the colon epithelium, giving insight into the application of cembranolides as potential ulcerative colitis (UC) agents.

Modulatory effects of cancer stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles on the tumor immune microenvironment.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), accounting for only a minor cell proportion (< 1%) within tumors, have profound implications in tumor initiation, metastasis, recurrence, and treatment resistance due to their inherent ability of self-renewal, multi-lineage differentiation, and tumor-initiating potential. In recent years, accumulating studies indicate that CSCs and tumor immune microenvironment act reciprocally in driving tumor progression and diminishing the efficacy of cancer therapies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), pivotal mediators of intercellular communications, build indispensable biological connections between CSCs and immune cells. By transferring bioactive molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, EVs can exert mutual influence on both CSCs and immune cells. This interaction plays a significant role in reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment, creating conditions favorable for the sustenance and propagation of CSCs. Deciphering the intricate interplay between CSCs and immune cells would provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of CSCs being more susceptible to immune escape. This review will highlight the EV-mediated communications between CSCs and each immune cell lineage in the tumor microenvironment and explore potential therapeutic opportunities.

Effects of sugary drinks, coffee, tea and fruit juice on incidence rate, mortality and cardiovascular complications of type2 diabetes patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aims: Despite more and more studies indicate that beverages play an important role in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), the efficacy of intaking different beverages for T2DM has not been clearly stated in one article. The meta-analysis was performed, which aims to assess the effects of beverages on mortality and cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and the incidence of T2DM. Method: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were search up to March, 2023 to identify relevant studies, including studies researching beverage consumption, the incidence and mortality of T2DM and incidence of cardiovascular disease, a kind of complication of T2DM. The way to explore the source of heterogeneity is performing subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses. Funnel plots and Egger's regression test were performed to assess publication bias. The Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to analysis the results. Fifteen observational studies were included in our meta-analysis. Results: Fifteen eligible articles were included sugar-sweetened beverages(SSB) consumption increased the mortality and incidence of T2DM ( Hazard ratio (HR), 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05-1.38; P = 0.01 and HR, 1.15; 95% CI,1.06-1.24; P = 0.001), respectively. Artificially-sweetened beverages (ASB) consumption was not associated with the mortality and incidence of T2DM (HR,0.96;95%CI, 0.86-1.07; P = 0.464 and HR, 1.15; 95% CI,1.05-1.26; P = 0.003), respectively. Fruit juice consumption increased the incidence of T2DM (HR,1.08;95%CI,1.02-1.14, P = 0.296).Tea or coffee consumption can reduce the incidence of T2DM (HR, 0.89; 95%CI,0.81-0.98; P = 0.016). Tea or coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of mortality of T2DM (HR,0.84; 95% Cl, 0.75-0.94; P = 0.002 and HR,0.75; 95% CI, 0.65-0.87; P < 0.001), respectively. Additionally, beverage consumption was not associated with cardiovascular disease in T2DM patients (HR,1.03; 95% Cl, 0.82-1.30, P > 0.05). Conclusions: High consumption of SSBs led to a higher risk and mortality of T2DM, while high consumption of coffee or tea showed significant associations with a lower risk of the incidence and mortality of T2DM.

[Research progress of three-dimensional bioprinting technology in auricle repair and reconstruction].

Objective: To review the research progress on the application of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology in auricle repair and reconstruction. Methods: The recent domestic and international research literature on 3D printing and auricle repair and reconstruction was extensively reviewed, and the concept of 3D bioprinting technology and research progress in auricle repair and reconstruction were summarized. Results: The auricle possesses intricate anatomical structure and functionality, necessitating precise tissue reconstruction and morphological replication. Hence, 3D printing technology holds immense potential in auricle reconstruction. In contrast to conventional 3D printing technology, 3D bioprinting technology not only enables the simulation of auricular outer shape but also facilitates the precise distribution of cells within the scaffold during fabrication by incorporating cells into bioink. This approach mimics the composition and structure of natural tissues, thereby favoring the construction of biologically active auricular tissues and enhancing tissue repair outcomes. Conclusion: 3D bioprinting technology enables the reconstruction of auricular tissues, avoiding potential complications associated with traditional autologous cartilage grafting. The primary challenge in current research lies in identifying bioinks that meet both the mechanical requirements of complex tissues and biological criteria.

The potassium puzzle: exploring the intriguing connection to albuminuria.

Background: Studies have revealed a relationship between dietary potassium intake and albuminuria, despite the fact that the human body needs a lot of potassium. Our study concentrated on the link between dietary potassium intake and albuminuria. Methods: This study used subgroup analysis and weighted multivariate regression analysis. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were examined to determine the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and participant age (20 years or older). ACR >30 mg/g was the threshold for albuminuria. Results: 7,564 individuals in all were included in the study. The link between the two was significant in both our original model (OR = 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99, p < 0.0001) and the minimum adjusted model (OR = 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99, p < 0.0001). A fully adjusted model did not change the significance of the negative correlation between potassium consumption and albuminuria (OR = 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-1.00, p = 0.0005), indicating that each unit increase in potassium intake was related with a 1% decrease in the chance of developing albuminuria. The negative correlation between potassium intake and albuminuria was not significantly influenced by sex, age, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, or smoking, according to interaction tests (p for interaction >0.05). Conclusion: Reduced risk of albuminuria was linked to higher dietary potassium intake. The particular mechanism linking the two still has to be explained by several inventive and prospective studies.

Comparative analysis of dexmedetomidine, midazolam, and propofol impact on epilepsy-related mortality in the ICU: insights from the MIMIC-IV database.

BACKGROUND: Dexmedetomidine (Dex), midazolam, and propofol are three distinct sedatives characterized by varying pharmacological properties. Previous literature has indicated the positive impact of each of these sedatives on ICU patients. However, there is a scarcity of clinical evidence comparing the efficacy of Dex, midazolam, and propofol in reducing mortality among people with epilepsy (PWE). This study aimed to assess the impact of Dex, midazolam, and propofol on the survival of PWE. METHODS: The data were retrospectively retrieved from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database (version 2.0). PWE were categorized into Dex, midazolam, and propofol groups based on the intravenously administered sedatives. PWE without standard drug therapy were included in the control group. Comparative analyses were performed on the data among the groups. RESULTS: The Dex group exhibited a significantly lower proportion of in-hospital deaths and a markedly higher in-hospital survival time compared to the midazolam and propofol groups (p < 0.01) after propensity score matching. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated a significant improvement in survival rates for the Dex group compared to the control group (p = 0.025). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed no significant differences in survival rates among the Dex, midazolam, and propofol groups (F = 1.949, p = 0.143). The nomogram indicated that compared to midazolam and propofol groups, Dex was more effective in improving the survival rate of PWE. CONCLUSION: Dex might improve the survival rate of PWE in the ICU compared to no standard drug intervention. However, Dex did not exhibit superiority in improving survival rates compared to midazolam and propofol.

Self-Powered Autonomous Electrostatic Dust Removal for Solar Panels by an Electret Generator.

Solar panels often suffer from dust accumulation, significantly reducing their output, especially in desert regions where many of the world's largest solar plants are located. Here, an autonomous dust removal system for solar panels, powered by a wind-driven rotary electret generator is proposed. The generator applies a high voltage between one solar panel's output electrode and an upper mesh electrode to generate a strong electrostatic field. It is discovered that dust particles on the insulative glass cover of the panel can be charged under the high electrical field, assisted by adsorbed water, even in low-humidity environments. The charged particles are subsequently repelled from the solar panel with the significant Coulomb force. Two panels covered with sand dust are cleaned in only 6.6 min by a 15 cm diameter rotary electret generator at 1.6 m s-1 wind speed. Experimental results manifest that the system can work effectively in a wide range of environmental conditions, and doesn't impact the panel performance for long-term operation. This autonomous system, with its high dust removal efficiency, simplicity, and low cost, holds great potential in practical applications.

Apelin-13 improves pulmonary epithelial barrier function in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting Chk1-mediated DNA damage.

Apelin-13, a type of active peptide, can alleviate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). However, the specific mechanism is unclear. Cell cycle checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) plays an important role in DNA damage. Here, we investigated the regulatory effect of Apelin on Chk1 in ALI. Chk1-knockout and -overexpression mice were used to explore the role of Chk1 in LPS-induced ALI mice treated with or without Apelin-13. In addition, A549 cells were also treated with LPS to establish a cell model. Chk1 knockdown inhibited the destruction of alveolar structure, the damage of lung epithelial barrier function, and DNA damage in the ALI mouse model. Conversely, Chk1 overexpression had the opposite effect. Furthermore, Apelin-13 reduced Chk1 expression and DNA damage to improve the impaired lung epithelial barrier function in the ALI model. However, the high expression of Chk1 attenuated the protective effect of Apelin-13 on ALI. Notably, Apelin-13 promoted Chk1 degradation through autophagy to regulate DNA damage in LPS-treated A549 cells. In summary, Apelin-13 regulates the expression of Chk1 by promoting autophagy, thereby inhibiting epithelial DNA damage and repairing epithelial barrier function.

Identifying lncRNAs and mRNAs related to survival of NSCLC based on bioinformatic analysis and machine learning.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common histopathological type, and it is purposeful for screening potential prognostic biomarkers for NSCLC. This study aims to identify the lncRNAs and mRNAs related to survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expression profile data of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma were downloaded in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset. A total of eight survival related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and 262 survival related mRNAs were filtered. By gene set enrichment analysis, 17 significantly correlated Gene Ontology signal pathways and 14 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes signal pathways were screened. Based on the clinical survival and prognosis information of the samples, we screened eight lncRNAs and 193 mRNAs by single factor Cox regression analysis. Further single and multifactor Cox regression analysis were performed, 30 independent prognostication-related mRNAs were obtained. The PPI network was further constructed. We then performed the machine learning algorithms (Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, Recursive feature elimination, and Random forest) to screen the optimized DEGs combination, and a total of 17 overlapping mRNAs were obtained. Based on the 17 characteristic mRNAs obtained, we firstly built a Nomogram prediction model, and the ROC values of training set and testing set were 0.835 and 0.767, respectively. By overlapping the 17 characteristic mRNAs and PPI network hub genes, three genes were obtained: CDC6, CEP55, TYMS, which were considered as key factors associated with survival of NSCLC. The in vitro experiments were performed to examine the effect of CDC6, CEP55, and TYMS on NSCLC cells. Finally, the lncRNAs-mRNAs networks were constructed.

Anti-HBV Activities of Cembranoids from the South China Sea Soft Coral Sinularia pedunculata and Their Structure Activity Relationship.

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection is a global public health challenge that seriously endangers human health. Soft coral, as a major source of terpenoids, contains many structurally novel and highly bioactive compounds. Sixteen cembranoids (1-16), including a new one named sinupedunol B (16), were isolated from the South China Sea Soft coral Sinularia pedunculata. The structure of the sinupedunol B (16) was determined through a combination of spectroscopic analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. In this study, cembranoids isolated from Sinularia pedunculata were found of anti-HBV activity for the first time. Among them, flexilarin D (6) showed significant anti-HBV activity with an IC50 value of 5.57 µM without cytotoxicity. We then analyzed the structure-activity relationship (SAR). Furthermore, it is demonstrated that flexilarin D (6) can accelerate the formation of capsid, inhibit HBeAg, HBV core particle DNA, HBV total RNA and pregenomic RNA in a dose dependent manner. We also confirmed the anti-HBV activity of 6 in HepG2-NTCP infection system. Finally, we demonstrated the anti-HBV mechanism of these compounds by inhibiting the ENI/Xp enhancer/promoter.

Clinical features of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease with seizures: a systematic literature review.

Background: Infant, junior, and adult patients with neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) present with various types of seizures. We aimed to conduct a systematic literature review on the clinical characteristics of NIID with seizures to provide novel insight for early diagnosis and treatment and to improve prognosis of these patients. Methods: We used keywords to screen articles related to NIID and seizures, and data concerning the clinical characteristics of patients, including demographic features, disease characteristics of the seizures, treatment responses, imaging examinations, and other auxiliary examination results were extracted. Results: The included studies comprised 21 patients with NIID with seizures. The most common clinical phenotypes were cognitive impairment (76.20%) and impaired consciousness (57.14%), and generalized onset motor seizures (46.15%) represented the most common type. Compared with infantile and juvenile cases, the use of antiepileptic drugs in adults led to significant seizure control and symptom improvement, in addition to providing a better prognosis. The number of GGC sequence repeats in the NOTCH2NLC gene in six NIID patients with seizures who underwent genetic testing ranged 72-134. Conclusion: The most common clinical phenotypes in patients with NIID with seizures were cognitive impairment and consciousness disorders. Patients with NIID presented with various types of seizures, with the most common being generalized onset motor seizures. Adult patients had a better prognosis and were relatively stable. The early diagnosis of NIID with seizures is of great significance for treatment and to improve prognosis.

Ischemic insular damage and stress ulcer in patients of acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Stress ulcer (SU) is a common complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The relationship of infarction location and the incidence of SU was unclear. Herein, we aim to investigate the association between ischemic insular damage and the development of SU. METHODS: Data were retrieved from the SPARK study (Effect of Cardiac Function on Short-Term Functional Prognosis in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke). We included the patients who had experienced an ischemic stroke within 7 days. The diagnosis of SU was based on clinical manifestations, including hematemesis, bloody nasogastric tube aspirate, or hematochezia. Evaluation of ischemic insular damage was conducted through magnetic resonance imaging. Cyclo-oxygenase regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to assess the relationship between ischemic insular damage and the occurrence of SU. RESULTS: Among the 1357 patients analyzed, 110 (8.1%) developed SUs during hospitalization, with 69 (6.7%) experiencing infarctions in the anterior circulation. After adjusting for potential confounders, patients with ischemic insular damage exhibited a 2.16-fold higher risk of developing SUs compared to those without insular damage (p = .0206). Notably, among patients with infarctions in the anterior circulation, those with insular damage had a 2.21-fold increased risk of SUs (p = .0387). Moreover, right insular damage was associated with a higher risk of SUs compared to left insular damage or no insular damage (p for trend = .0117). Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated early separation among groups, persisting throughout the follow-up period (all p < .0001). CONCLUSIONS: This study identified a significant independent correlation between ischemic insular damage, particularly on the right side, and the development of SU during hospitalization, indicating the need to consider prophylactic acid-suppressive treatment for patients with ischemic insular damage.

Different lymph node staging systems for predicting the prognosis of colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a rare malignancy that primarily arises from the diffuse distribution of neuroendocrine cells in the colon and rectum. Previous studies have pointed out that the status of lymph node may be used to predict the prognosis. AIM: To investigate the predictive values of lymph node ratio (LNR), positive lymph node (PLN), and log odds of PLNs (LODDS) staging systems on the prognosis of colorectal NENs treated surgically, and compare their predictive values. METHODS: This cohort study included 895 patients with colorectal NENs treated surgically from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The endpoint was mortality of patients with colorectal NENs treated surgically. X-tile software was utilized to identify most suitable thresholds for categorizing the LNR, PLN, and LODDS. Participants were selected in a random manner to form training and testing sets. The prognosis of surgically treating colorectal NENs was examined using multivariate cox analysis to assess the associations of LNR, PLN, and LODDS with the prognosis of colorectal NENs. C-index was used for assessing the predictive effectiveness. We conducted a subgroup analysis to explore the different lymph node staging systems' predictive values. RESULTS: After adjusting all confounding factors, PLN, LNR and LODDS staging systems were linked with mortality in patients with colorectal NENs treated surgically (P < 0.05). We found that LODDS staging had a higher prognostic value for patients with colorectal NENs treated surgically than PLN and LNR staging systems. Similar results were obtained in the different G staging subgroup analyses. Furthermore, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values for LODDS staging system remained consistently higher than those of PLN or LNR, even at the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-year follow-up periods. CONCLUSION: LNR, PLN, and LODDS were found to significantly predict the prognosis of patients with colorectal NENs treated surgically.

Carbon monoxide poisoning with hippocampi lesions on MRI: cases report and literature review.

BACKGROUND: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is now one of the leading causes of poisoning-related mortality worldwide. The central nervous system is the most vulnerable structure in acute CO poisoning. MRI is of great significance in the diagnosis and prognosis of CO toxic encephalopathy. The imaging features of CO poisoning are diverse. We report atypical hippocampal lesions observed on MRI in four patients after acute CO exposure. CASE PRESENTATIONS: We report four patients who presented to the emergency department with loss of consciousness. The diagnosis of CO poisoning was confirmed on the basis of their detailed history, physical examination and laboratory tests. Brain MRI in all of these patients revealed abnormal signal intensity in hippocampi bilaterally. They all received hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The prognosis of all four patients was poor. CONCLUSION: Hippocampi, as a relatively rare lesion on MRI of CO poisoning, is of important significance both in the early and delayed stages of acute CO poisoning. In this article, we summarize the case reports of hippocampal lesions on MRI in patients with CO poisoning in recent years, in order to provide reference for the diagnosis and prognosis of CO poisoning.

Their structures including absolute configurations were established by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, TDDFT-ECD calculation, and comparison with the spectral data previously reported in the literature. Compound 1 represent the new member of incisterols family with a highly degradation in ring B. In vitro bioassays revealed compound 2 exhibited significant anti-microglial inflammatory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells.

Role of the gut microbiota in complications after ischemic stroke.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a serious central nervous system disease. Post-IS complications, such as post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), post-stroke depression (PSD), hemorrhagic transformation (HT), gastrointestinal dysfunction, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke infection (PSI), result in neurological deficits. The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) facilitates bidirectional signal transduction and communication between the intestines and the brain. Recent studies have reported alterations in gut microbiota diversity post-IS, suggesting the involvement of gut microbiota in post-IS complications through various mechanisms such as bacterial translocation, immune regulation, and production of gut bacterial metabolites, thereby affecting disease prognosis. In this review, to provide insights into the prevention and treatment of post-IS complications and improvement of the long-term prognosis of IS, we summarize the interaction between the gut microbiota and IS, along with the effects of the gut microbiota on post-IS complications.

Research on the path of local colleges participating in community education of affordable rental housing in industrial parks.

The affordable rental housing community in industrial parks has become a large-scale community, but little attention has been paid to this type of community education. Therefore, based on the concept of educational equality, this project aims to explore the path of local colleges participating in community education for affordable rental housing in industrial parks. With convenient samples, empirical research is conducted on the current situation and residents' needs of affordable rental housing community education in the Qianwan New Area Industrial Park. And it has been found that community residents have a high willingness to learn on one hand, however, on the other hand, there are few types of community education to meet their demand; Although there are many public space resources, the utilization of scene spaces is far from sufficient. Based on these findings, this research explores and proposes the paths for local colleges to participate in community education for affordable rental housing in industrial parks through resource sharing models, in-depth community services for all-age residential groups, the cultivation of application-oriented talents to promote the integration of industry and education and enriching spiritual connotation of community education content. By enhancing the quality of all-age residents, namely, the new citizens including industrial workers and their relatives, it can promote the construction of a learning-oriented society and contribute to the realization of common prosperity. This study has certain theoretical and practical significance in enriching the research field of community education, promoting social integration of new citizens, and helping to achieve common prosperity.
