Sea Urchin-Like NiCo-LDH Hollow Spheres Anchored on 3D Graphene Aerogel for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

To enhance the inherent poor conductivity and low cycling stability of dimetallic layered double hydroxides (LDHs) materials, designing a synergistic effect between EDLC capacitors and pseudocapacitors is an efficient strategy. In this paper, we utilized a solvothermal technique employing Co-glycerate as a precursor to prepare sea urchin-like NiCo-LDH hollow spheres anchored on a 3D graphene aerogel. The unique morphology of these hollow microspheres significantly expand the specific surface area and exposes more active sites, while reducing the volume changes of materials during long-term charging and discharging processes. The 3D graphene aerogel serves as a conductive skeleton, improving the material's electrical conductivity and buffering high current. The sea urchin-like NiCo-LDH hollow spheres anchored on 3D graphene aerogel (H-NiCo-LDH@GA) has a specific surface area of 51 m2 g-1 and the ID/IG value is 1.02. The H-NiCo-LDH@GA demonstrate a significant specific capacitance of 236.8 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1, with a remarkable capacity retention rate of 63.1 % even at 20 A g-1. Even after 8000 cycles at 10 A g-1, the capacity retention still remains at 96.3 %, presenting excellent cycling stability.

Transcriptome study reveals tick immune genes restrict Babesia microti infection.

A systems biology approach was employed to gain insight into tick biology and interactions between vectors and pathogens. Haemaphysalis longicornis serves as one of the primary vectors of Babesia microti, significantly impacting human and animal health. Obtaining more information about their relationship is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of tick and pathogen biology, pathogen transmission dynamics, and potential control strategies. RNA sequencing of uninfected and B. microti-infected ticks resulted in the identification of 15 056 unigenes. Among these, 1 051 were found to be differentially expressed, with 796 being upregulated and 255 downregulated (P < 0.05). Integrated transcriptomics datasets revealed the pivotal role of immune-related pathways, including the Toll, Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT), immunodeficiency, and RNA interference (RNAi) pathways, in response to infection. Consequently, 3 genes encoding critical transcriptional factor Dorsal, Relish, and STAT were selected for RNAi experiments. The knockdown of Dorsal, Relish, and STAT resulted in a substantial increase in Babesia infection levels compared to the respective controls. These findings significantly advanced our understanding of tick-Babesia molecular interactions and proposed novel tick antigens as potential vaccine targets against tick infestations and pathogen transmission.

Harnessing Ion-Dipole Interactions for Water-Lean Solvation Chemistry: Achieving High-Stability Zn Anodes in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

The reversibility and stability of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are largely limited by water-induced interfacial parasitic reactions. Here, dimethyl(3,3-difluoro-2-oxoheptyl)phosphonate (DP) is introduced to tailor primary solvation sheath and inner-Helmholtz configurations for robust zinc anode. Informed by theoretical guidance on solvation process, DP with high permanent dipole moments can effectively substitute the coordination of H2O with charge carriers through relatively strong ion-dipolar interactions, resulting in a water-lean environment of solvated Zn2+. Thus, interfacial side reactions can be suppressed through a shielding effect. Meanwhile, lone-pair electrons of oxygen and fluorinated features of DP also reinforce the interfacial affinity of metallic zinc, associated with exclusion of neighboring water to facilitate reversible zinc planarized deposition. Thus, these merits endow the Zn anode with a high-stability performance exceeds 3800 hours at 0.5 mA cm-2 and 0.5 mAh cm-2 for Zn||Zn batteries and a high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.8% at 4 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2 for Zn||Cu batteries. Benefiting from the stable zinc anode, the Zn||NH4V4O10 cell maintains 80.3% of initial discharge capacity after 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1 and exhibits a high retention rate of 99.4% against to the initial capacity during the self-discharge characterizations.

Opening and Constructing Stable Lithium-ion Channels within Polymer Electrolytes.

Lithium-ion batteries play an integral role in various aspects of daily life, yet there is a pressing need to enhance their safety and cycling stability. In this study, we have successfully developed a highly secure and flexible solid-state polymer electrolyte (SPE) through the in-situ polymerization of allyl acetoacetate (AAA) monomers. This SPE constructed an efficient Li+ transport channel inside and effectively improved the solid-solid interface contact of solid-state batteries to reduce interfacial impedance. Furthermore, it exhibited excellent thermal stability, an ionic conductivity of 3.82×10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature (RT), and a Li+ transport number (tLi+) of 0.66.  The numerous oxygen vacancies on layered inorganic SiO2 created an excellent environment for TFSI- immobilization. Free Li+ migrated rapidly at the C=O equivalence site with the poly(allyl acetoacetate) (PAAA) matrix. Consequently, when cycled at 0.5 C and RT, it displayed an initial discharge specific capacity of 140.6 mAh g-1 with a discharge specific capacity retention rate of 70% even after 500 cycles. Similarly, when cycled at a higher rate of 5 C, it demonstrated an initial discharge specific capacity of 132.3 mAh g-1 while maintaining excellent cycling stability.

Hydrogeochemical characterization, quality assessment, and potential nitrate health risk of shallow groundwater in Dongwen River Basin, North China.

Assessing groundwater geochemical formation processes and pollution circumstances is significant for sustainable watershed management. In the present study, 58 shallow groundwater samples were taken from the Dongwen River Basin (DRB) to comprehensively assess the hydrochemical sources, groundwater quality status, and potential risks of NO3- to human health. Based on the Box and Whisker plot, the cation's concentration followed the order of Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Na+ > K+, while anions' mean levels were HCO3- > SO42- > NO3- > Cl-. The NO3- level in groundwater samples fluctuated between 4.2 and 301.3 mg/L, with 67.2% of samples beyond the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria (50 mg/L) for drinking. The Piper diagram indicated the hydrochemical type of groundwater and surface water were characterized as Ca·Mg-HCO3 type. Combining ionic ratio analysis with principal component analysis (PCA) results, agricultural activities contributed a significant effect on groundwater NO3-, with soil nitrogen input and manure/sewage inputs also potential sources. However, geogenic processes (e.g., carbonates and evaporite dissolution/precipitation) controlled other ion compositions in the study area. The groundwater samples with higher NO3- values were mainly found in river valley regions with intense anthropogenic activities. The entropy weight water quality index (EWQI) model identified that the groundwater quality rank ranged from excellent (70.7%) and good (25.9%) to medium (3.4%). However, the hazard quotient (HQ) used in the human health risk assessment (HHRA) model showed that above 91.38% of groundwater samples have a NO3- non-carcinogenic health risk for infants, 84.48% for children, 82.76% for females, and 72.41% for males. The findings of this study could provide a scientific basis for the rational development and usage of groundwater resources as well as for the preservation of the inhabitants' health in DRB.

Questions From Family Members During the Dying Process And Moral Distress Experienced by ICU Nurses.

BACKGROUND: For a hospitalized patient, transitioning to comfort measures only (CMO) involves discontinuation of life-prolonging interventions with a goal of allowing natural death. Nurses play a pivotal role during the provision of CMO, caring for both the dying patient and their family. OBJECTIVE: To examine the experiences of ICU nurses caring for patients receiving CMO. METHODS: Between October 2020 and June 2021, nurses in the neuro- and medical-cardiac intensive care units at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA, completed surveys about their experiences providing CMO. Surveys addressed involvement in discussions about CMO and questions asked by family members of dying patients. We also assessed nurses' moral distress related to CMO and used ordinal logistic regression to examine predictors of moral distress. RESULTS: Surveys were completed by 82 nurses (response rate 44%), with 79 (96%) reporting experience providing CMO in the previous year. Most preferred to be present for discussions between physicians or advanced practice providers and family members about transitioning to CMO (89% most of the time or always); however, only 31% were present most of the time or always. Questions from family about time to death, changes in breathing, and medications to relieve symptoms were common. Most nurses reported moral distress at least some of the time when providing CMO (62%). Feeling well-prepared to answer specific questions from family was associated with less moral distress. CONCLUSION: There is discordance between nurses' preferences for inclusion in discussions about the transition to CMO and their actual presence. Moral distress is common for nurses when providing CMO and feeling prepared to answer questions from family members may attenuate distress.

An Opportunity for Change: Principles for Reforming Internal Medicine Inpatient Conferences.

Inpatient educational conferences are a key part of internal medicine residency training. Many residencies made conferences virtual during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are now returning to in-person sessions. As we navigate this change, we can seize this opportunity to re-evaluate the role that inpatient conferences serve in resident education. In this paper, we briefly review the history of inpatient educational conferences before offering five recommendations for improvement. Our recommendations include grounding conference formats in educational theory, leveraging the expertise of all potential educators, broadening content to include health equity and justice throughout all curricula, and explicitly focusing on cultivating community among participants. Recognizing that each residency program is different, we anticipate that these recommendations may be implemented differently based on program size, available resources, and current institutional practices. We also include examples of prior successful curricular reforms aligned with our principles. We hope these recommendations ensure inpatient conferences continue to be a central part of residency education for future generations of internal medicine residents.

Association of TNF-α, IGF-1, and IGFBP-1 levels with the severity of osteopenia in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

BACKGROUNDS: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) exhibits a close association with osteoporosis. This work aims to assess the potential effects of NAFLD on the progression of osteopenia in animal models. METHODS: Forty-eight C57BL/6 female mice were randomly divided to wild-type (WT) group and high-fat diet (HFD) group. The corresponding detections were performed after sacrifice at 16, 24 and 32 weeks, respectively. RESULTS: At 16 weeks, an remarkable increase in body weight and lipid aggregation in the hepatocytes of HFD group was observed compared to the WT group, while the bone structure parameters showed no significant difference. At 24 weeks, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in NAFLD mice were significantly increased, while the level of osteoprotegerin mRNA in bone tissue was decreased, and the level of receptor activator of nuclear factor Kappa-B ligand mRNA was increased. Meanwhile, the function of osteoclasts was increased, and the bone microstructure parameters showed significant changes. At 32 weeks, in the HFD mice, the mRNA levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), runt-related transcription factor 2, and osterix mRNA were reduced, while the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) level was increased. Simultaneously, the osteoblast function was decreased, and the differences of bone structure parameters were more significant, showing obvious osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS: The bone loss in HFD mice is pronounced as NAFLD progresses, and the changes of the TNF-α, IL-6, IGF-1, and IGFBP-1 levels may play critical roles at the different stages of NAFLD in HFD.

Designing a Multilayered Oxygen Barrier Structure to Tackle Oxidation Challenges in Phase-Change Memory for Improved Reliability.

Phase-change memory (PCM) is considered one of the most promising candidates for universal memory. However, during the manufacturing process of PCM, phase-change materials (PCMs) encounter severe oxidation, which can cause degraded performance and reduced stability of PCM, hindering its industrialization process. In this work, a multilayered oxygen barrier (MOB) structure is proposed to tackle this challenge. Material characterization shows that the MOB structure can significantly reduce the extent of oxidation of PCMs from around 70% to as low as around 10%, achieving a remarkably low level of oxidation. Moreover, the material in the MOB structure exhibits notable enhancements in crystallization temperature and cycling capability. The improved stability is attributed to the oxygen barrier effect and the suppression of elemental segregation within the material, which are both conferred by the MOB structure. In summary, this work provides an effective solution to address the oxidation of PCMs, offering valuable guidance for realizing a high-reliability PCM in practical production.

Combining decellularized adipose tissue with decellularized adventitia extravascular matrix or small intestinal submucosa matrix for the construction of vascularized tissue-engineered adipose.

Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ. It serves many important functions, such as energy storage, hormones secretion, and providing insulation, cushioning and aesthetics to the body etc. Adipose tissue engineering offers a promising treatment for soft tissue defects. Early adipose tissue production and long-term survival are closely associated with angiogenesis. Decellularized matrix has a natural ECM (extracellular matrix) component, good biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity. Therefore, in this study, the injectable composite hydrogels were developed to construct vascularized tissue-engineered adipose by using the pro-angiogenic effects of aortic adventitia extravascular matrix (Adv) or small intestinal submucosa (SIS), and the pro-adipogenic effects of decellularized adipose tissue (DAT). The composite hydrogels were cross-linked by genipin. The adipogenic and angiogenic abilities of composite hydrogels were investigated in vitro, and in a rat dorsal subcutaneous implant model. The results showed that DAT and SIS or Adv 1:1 composite hydrogel promoted the migration and tube formation of endothelial cells. Furthermore, DAT and SIS or Adv 1:1 composite hydrogel enhanced adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) through activation of PPARγ and C/EBPα. The in vivo studies further demonstrated that DAT with SIS or Adv in a 1:1 ratio also significantly promoted adipogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition, DAT with SIS or Adv in a 1:1 ratio hydrogel recruited macrophage population with enhanced M2-type macrophage polarization, suggesting a positive effect of inflammatory response on angiogenesis. In conclusion, these data suggest that the composite hydrogels of DAT with SIS or Adv in 1:1 ratio have apparent pro-adiogenic and angiogenic abilities, thus providing a promising cell-free tissue engineering biomaterial with broad clinical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) has emerged as an important biomaterial in adipose tissue regeneration. Early adipose tissue production and long-term survival is tightly related to the angiogenesis. The revascularization of the DAT is a key issue that needs to be solved in adipose regeneration. In this study, the injectable composite hydrogels were developed by using DAT with Adv (aortic adventitia extravascular matrix) or SIS (small intestinal submucosa) in different ratio. We demonstrated that the combination of DAT with SIS or Adv in 1:1 ratio effectively improved the proliferation of adipose stem cells and endothelial cells, and promoted greater adipose regeneration and tissue vascularization as compared to the DAT scaffold. This study provides the potential biomaterial for clinical soft tissue regeneration.

Targeting Haemaphysalis longicornis serpin to prevent tick feeding and pathogen transmission.

Serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins), identified from the hard tick Haemaphysalis longicornis of China, play significant roles in various animal physiological processes. In this study, we showed that H. longicornis serpins (Hlserpin-a and Hlserpin-b) were induced during blood-feeding in nymph ticks and exhibited anticoagulation activity in vitro. Silencing Hlserpins through RNA interference (RNAi) significantly impaired tick feeding. Immunization of mice with recombinant Hlserpins or passive transfer of Hlserpin antiserum significantly curtails the efficacy of tick feeding. Concurrently, the transmission of the Langat virus (LGTV) from ticks to mice witnessed a substantial decrease when Hlserpins were silenced. Our findings suggest that inhibiting Hlserpins can hamper tick engorgement and pathogen transmission, indicating the potential of Hlserpins as a vaccine to counter tick-borne diseases.

A Novel Presentation of Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia in Anti-synthetase Syndrome: A Case Report.

Anti-synthetase syndrome (AS) is a rare autoimmune disorder classified among the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and is characterized by antibodies directed against aminoacyl-transfer RNA synthetases and the presence of myositis, interstitial lung disease, ±arthritis. Here, we report, for the first time, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in a patient with AS. This case reports a new association of AS with ITP and highlights the utility of identifying the underlying driver in secondary ITP to guide therapy.

Identification of gene function based on models capturing natural variability of Arabidopsis thaliana lipid metabolism.

Lipids play fundamental roles in regulating agronomically important traits. Advances in plant lipid metabolism have until recently largely been based on reductionist approaches, although modulation of its components can have system-wide effects. However, existing models of plant lipid metabolism provide lumped representations, hindering detailed study of component modulation. Here, we present the Plant Lipid Module (PLM) which provides a mechanistic description of lipid metabolism in the Arabidopsis thaliana rosette. We demonstrate that the PLM can be readily integrated in models of A. thaliana Col-0 metabolism, yielding accurate predictions (83%) of single lethal knock-outs and 75% concordance between measured transcript and predicted flux changes under extended darkness. Genome-wide associations with fluxes obtained by integrating the PLM in diel condition- and accession-specific models identify up to 65 candidate genes modulating A. thaliana lipid metabolism. Using mutant lines, we validate up to 40% of the candidates, paving the way for identification of metabolic gene function based on models capturing natural variability in metabolism.

Predicting plasticity of rosette growth and metabolic fluxes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plants can rapidly mitigate the effects of suboptimal growth environments by phenotypic plasticity of fitness-traits. While genetic variation for phenotypic plasticity offers the means for breeding climate-resilient crop lines, accurate genomic prediction models for plasticity of fitness-related traits are still lacking. Here, we employed condition- and accession-specific metabolic models for 67 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to dissect and predict plasticity of rosette growth to changes in nitrogen availability. We showed that specific reactions in photorespiration, linking carbon and nitrogen metabolism, as well as key pathways of central carbon metabolism exhibited substantial genetic variation for flux plasticity. We also demonstrated that, in comparison with a genomic prediction model for fresh weight (FW), genomic prediction of growth plasticity improves the predictability of FW under low nitrogen by 58.9% and by additional 15.4% when further integrating data on plasticity of metabolic fluxes. Therefore, the combination of metabolic and statistical modeling provides a stepping stone in understanding the molecular mechanisms and improving the predictability of plasticity for fitness-related traits.

Telomere-related prognostic biomarkers for survival assessments in pancreatic cancer.

Human telomeres are linked to genetic instability and a higher risk of developing cancer. Therefore, to improve the dismal prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients, a thorough investigation of the association between telomere-related genes and pancreatic cancer is required. Combat from the R package "SVA" was performed to correct the batch effects between the TCGA-PAAD and GTEx datasets. After differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were assessed, we constructed a prognostic risk model through univariate Cox regression, LASSO-Cox regression, and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Data from the ICGC, GSE62452, GSE71729, and GSE78229 cohorts were used as test cohorts for validating the prognostic signature. The major impact of the signature on the tumor microenvironment and its response to immune checkpoint drugs was also evaluated. Finally, PAAD tissue microarrays were fabricated and immunohistochemistry was performed to explore the expression of this signature in clinical samples. After calculating 502 telomere-associated DEGs, we constructed a three-gene prognostic signature (DSG2, LDHA, and RACGAP1) that can be effectively applied to the prognostic classification of pancreatic cancer patients in multiple datasets, including TCGA, ICGC, GSE62452, GSE71729, and GSE78229 cohorts. In addition, we have screened a variety of tumor-sensitive drugs targeting this signature. Finally, we also found that protein levels of DSG2, LDHA, and RACGAP1 were upregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues compared to normal tissues by immunohistochemistry analysis. We established and validated a telomere gene-related prognostic signature for pancreatic cancer and confirmed the upregulation of DSG2, LDHA, and RACGAP1 expression in clinical samples, which may provide new ideas for individualized immunotherapy.

Machine learning to analyze the factors influencing myopia in students of different school periods.

Purpose: We aim to develop myopia classification models based on machine learning algorithms for each schooling period, and further analyze the similarities and differences in the factors influencing myopia in each school period based on each model. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Participants: We collected visual acuity, behavioral, environmental, and genetic data from 7,472 students in 21 primary and secondary schools (grades 1-12) in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province, using visual acuity screening and questionnaires. Methods: Machine learning algorithms were used to construct myopia classification models for students at the whole schooling period, primary school, junior high school, and senior high school period, and to rank the importance of features in each model. Results: The main influencing factors for students differ by school section, The optimal machine learning model for the whole schooling period was Random Forest (AUC = 0.752), with the top three influencing factors being age, myopic grade of the mother, and Whether myopia requires glasses. The optimal model for the primary school period was a Random Forest (AUC = 0.710), with the top three influences being the myopic grade of the mother, age, and extracurricular tutorials weekly. The Junior high school period was an Support Vector Machine (SVM; AUC = 0.672), and the top three influencing factors were gender, extracurricular tutorial subjects weekly, and whether can you do the "three ones" when reading and writing. The senior high school period was an XGboost (AUC = 0.722), and the top three influencing factors were the need for spectacles for myopia, average daily time spent outdoors, and the myopic grade of the mother. Conclusion: Factors such as genetics and eye use behavior all play an essential role in students' myopia, but there are differences between school periods, with those in the lower levels focusing on genetics and those in the higher levels focusing on behavior, but both play an essential role in myopia.

Sirtuin 3 controls cardiac energetics and protects against oxidative stress in electromagnetic radiation-induced cardiomyopathy.

Electromagnetic radiation can cause injuries to both the structures and functions of the heart. No therapy is currently available to inhibit these untoward effects. Mitochondrial energetic damage and oxidative stress are drivers of electromagnetic radiation-induced cardiomyopathy (eRIC); however, the pathways that mediate these events are poorly defined. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) has been emerged as a key target for maintaining mitochondrial redox potential and metabolism, but its role in eRIC remains unknown. Here, Sirt3-KO mice and cardiac-specific SIRT3 transgenic mice were subjected to the investigation of eRIC. We found that Sirt3 protein expression level was down-regulated in eRIC mice model. Sirt3-KO markedly exaggerated decreases in cardiac energetics and increases in oxidative stress in microwave irradiation (MWI)-stressed mice. Conversely, cardiac-specific SIRT3 overexpression protected the hearts from these effects and rescued cardiac malfunction. Mechanistically, Sirt3 maintained AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway in MWI-stressed hearts in vivo. In conclusion, electromagnetic radiation repressed SIRT3 expression and disturbed cardiac energetics and redox homeostasis. The increased SIRT3 expression and AMPK activation in vivo prevented eRIC, indicating that SIRT3 will be a potential therapeutic target for curative interventions in eRIC.

Characters of KRT80 and its roles in neoplasms diseases.

BACKGROUND: KRT80 is a human epithelial intermediate filament type II gene; its expression product is a component of intracellular intermediate filaments (IFs) and is involved in the assembly of the cytoskeleton. There is evidence that IFs form a dense network mainly in the perinuclear area, but they can also reach the cortex. They are essential for mechanical cushioning of cells, organelle positioning, cell apoptosis, migration, adhesion, and interactions with other cytoskeletal components. Humans possess 54 functional keratin genes, and KRT80 is one of the more unique genes. It is widely expressed in almost all epithelial cells, although it is structurally more similar to type II hair keratins than to type II epithelial keratins. AIM: In this review, we summarize the basic facts about the keratin family and KRT80, the essential role of KRT80 in neoplasms, and its potential as a therapeutic target. We hope that this review will inspire researchers to at least partially focus on this area. RESULT: In many neoplastic diseases, the high expression status of KRT80 and its role in regulating the biological functions of cancer cells have been well established. KRT80 can effectively enhance the proliferation, invasiveness and migration of cancer cells. However, the effects of KRT80 on prognosis and clinically relevant indices in patients with various cancers have not been extensively studied, and even opposite conclusions have been reached in different studies of the same cancer. Based on this, we should add more clinically relevant studies to clarify the prospect of clinical application of KRT80. Many researchers have made great progress in studying the mechanism of action of KRT80. However, their studies should be extended to more cancers to find common regulators and signaling pathways of KRT80 in different cancers. KRT80 may have far-reaching effects on the human body, and this marker may play a crucial role in the function of cancer cells and the prognosis of cancer patients, so it has a promising future in the field of neoplasms. CONCLUSION: In neoplastic diseases, KRT80 is overexpressed in many cancers and plays an essential role in promoting proliferation, migration, invasiveness and poor prognosis. The mechanisms of KRT80 functions in cancer have been partially elucidated, suggesting that KRT80 is a potentially useful cancer therapeutic target. However, more systematic, in-depth and comprehensive studies are still needed in this field.
