Study of the Epidemiological and Mechanistic Differences Between Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections in Children and Adults.

Background: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has garnered international concern due to its significant antibiotic resistance. Notably, children exhibit distinct resistance mechanisms compared to adults, necessitating a differential approach to antibiotic selection. A thorough analysis of CRKP's epidemiology and drug resistance mechanisms is essential for establishing a robust foundation for clinical anti-infection strategies and precise prevention and control measures. Methods: This study involved the collection of 31 non-repetitive strains from pediatric and adult patients at a tertiary hospital in China, spanning from July 2016 to July 2022, testing for resistance genes, antimicrobial susceptibility, and homology analysis. Results: Infants (0-1 year) were the largest pediatric CRKP group, with 61.3% of cases. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and pediatrics were the main departments affected. Adults with CRKP had a mean age of 67 years, with the highest prevalence in neurology and emergency ICU. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that adult CRKP strains exhibited higher resistance to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, cotrimoxazole, and aztreonam compared to pediatric strains. Conversely, pediatric strains showed a higher rate of resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam. The predominant resistance genes identified were bla NDM-5 in children (58.1%) and bla KPC-2 in adults (87.1%), with over 93% of both groups testing positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) indicated ST2735 and ST11 as the predominant types in children and adults, respectively. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) identified clonal transmission patterns of ST11 bla KPC-2 and ST15 bla OXA-232 across both age groups. Notably, this study reports the first instance of ST1114-type CRKP co-producing bla NDM-5 and bla OXA-181 in the NICU. Conclusion: This study reveals distinct resistance mechanisms and epidemiology in CRKP from children and adults. The identified clonal transmission patterns emphasize the need for improved infection control to prevent the spread of resistant strains.

Progestogen-driven B7-H4 contributes to onco-fetal immune tolerance.

Immune tolerance mechanisms are shared in cancer and pregnancy. Through cross-analyzing single-cell RNA-sequencing data from multiple human cancer types and the maternal-fetal interface, we found B7-H4 (VTCN1) is an onco-fetal immune tolerance checkpoint. We showed that genetic deficiency of B7-H4 resulted in immune activation and fetal resorption in allogeneic pregnancy models. Analogously, B7-H4 contributed to MPA/DMBA-induced breast cancer progression, accompanied by CD8+ T cell exhaustion. Female hormone screening revealed that progesterone stimulated B7-H4 expression in placental and breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, progesterone receptor (PR) bound to a newly identified -58 kb enhancer, thereby mediating B7-H4 transcription via the PR-P300-BRD4 axis. PR antagonist or BRD4 degrader potentiated immunotherapy in a murine B7-H4+ breast cancer model. Thus, our work unravels a mechanistic and biological connection of a female sex hormone (progesterone) to onco-fetal immune tolerance via B7-H4 and suggests that the PR-P300-BRD4 axis is targetable for treating B7-H4+ cancer.

Safety, Immunogenicity, and Effectiveness of Chinese-Made COVID-19 Vaccines in the Real World: An Interim Report of a Living Systematic Review.

Background: Several COVID-19 vaccines were developed and approved in China. Of these, the BIBB-CorV and CoronaVac inactivated whole-virion vaccines were widely distributed in China and developing countries. However, the performance of the two vaccines in the real world has not been summarized. Methods: A living systematic review based on findings from ongoing post-licensure studies was conducted, applying standardized algorithms. Articles published between 1 May 2020 and 31 May 2022 in English and Chinese were searched for in Medline, Embase, WanFang Data, medRxiv, bioRxiv, arXiv, SSRN, and Research Square, using SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, and vaccine as the MeSH terms. Studies with estimates of safety, immunogenicity, and effectiveness from receiving the BIBB-CorV or CoronaVac vaccine that met the predefined screening criteria underwent a full-text review. The Joanna Briggs Institute's Critical Appraisal Checklist and the Cochrane risk of bias were used for assessment of the quality. A random-effects meta-regression model was applied to identify the potential impact factors on the vaccines' effectiveness. Results: In total, 32578 articles were identified, of these, 770 studies underwent a full-text review. Eventually, 213 studies were included. The pooled occurrence of solicited and unsolicited adverse events after any dose of either vaccine varied between 10% and 40%. The top five commonly reported rare adverse events were immunization stress-related responses (211 cases, 50.0%), cutaneous responses (43 cases, 10.2%), acute neurological syndrome (39 cases, 9.2%), anaphylaxis (17 cases, 4.0%), and acute stroke (16 cases, 3.8%). The majority (83.3%) recovered or were relieved within several days. The peak neutralization titers against the ancestral strain was found within 1 month after the completion of the primary series of either vaccine, with a GMT (geometric mean titer) of 43.7 (95% CI: 23.2-82.4), followed by a dramatic decrease within 3 months. At Month 12, the GMT was 4.1 (95% CI: 3.8-4.4). Homologous boosting could restore humoral immunity, while heterologous boosting elicited around sixfold higher neutralization titers in comparison with homologous boosting. The effectiveness of receiving either vaccine against death and severe disease was around 85% for both shortly after the primary series. At Month 12, the protection against death did not decline, while the protection against severe disease decreased to ~75%. Conclusions: Both the BIBP-CorV and CoronaVac inactivated vaccines are safe. Sustained vaccine effectiveness against death was determined 12 months after the primary series, although protection against severe disease decreased slightly over time. A booster dose could strengthen the waning effectiveness; however, the duration of the incremental effectiveness and the additional benefit provided by a heterologous booster need to be studied.

Sulfoaluminate cement-modified loess as bioretention cell filler for nutrient removal from stormwater runoff.

In order to reduce the consumption of sand and gravel resources, the use of loess can reduce transportation costs and realize the in-situ construction of spongy in areas with rich loess resources. But the collapsibility and low permeability of loess make it unable to be directly used as the filler of bioretention cells. In this study, sulfoaluminate cement (SAC) mixed with a small amount of basalt fiber was considered to be used for loess modification, and the physicochemical properties and nutrient removal effect of SAC-modified loess as filler in bioretention cells were comprehensively evaluated. The results showed that when the SAC dosage was 15% and the basalt fiber addition was 0% (S15B0) and 0.6% (S15B6) and the curing time was 14 days, the stability and appropriate permeability can be exhibited, which can preliminarily satisfy the requirements of bioretention cell. SAC made the maximum adsorption capacity of S15B0 and S15B6 for ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and phosphate higher than that of sand by 10.96%-31.51% and 45.92%-76.72%, respectively. The hydration products in SAC modified loess can fill the internal pores of loess particles and provide structural support, and ultimately reduce the accumulated pores, mesoporous pore size (20%) and surface homogeneity. Both S15B0 and S15B6 showed good removal effects of NH4+-N and COD. The TP removal efficiency was stable at 95.43%∼99.95%. Both the antecedent drying days and the submerged zone have an effect on the nitrogen removal in the bioretention cells, where a longer antecedent drying days is detrimental to the nitrogen removal, and the installation of a submerged zone improves the nitrogen removal. The basalt fiber can enhance the transformation process from nitrate-nitrogen to nitrite-nitrogen in the bioretention cell. Therefore, the modification of SAC can provide a certain idea for the in-situ use of loess as the filler of the bioretention cell.

PIKfyve, expressed by CD11c-positive cells, controls tumor immunity.

Cancer treatment continues to shift from utilizing traditional therapies to targeted ones, such as protein kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy. Mobilizing dendritic cells (DC) and other myeloid cells with antigen presenting and cancer cell killing capacities is an attractive but not fully exploited approach. Here, we show that PIKFYVE is a shared gene target of clinically relevant protein kinase inhibitors and high expression of this gene in DCs is associated with poor patient response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Genetic and pharmacological studies demonstrate that PIKfyve ablation enhances the function of CD11c+ cells (predominantly dendritic cells) via selectively altering the non-canonical NF-κB pathway. Both loss of Pikfyve in CD11c+ cells and treatment with apilimod, a potent and specific PIKfyve inhibitor, restrained tumor growth, enhanced DC-dependent T cell immunity, and potentiated ICB efficacy in tumor-bearing mouse models. Furthermore, the combination of a vaccine adjuvant and apilimod reduced tumor progression in vivo. Thus, PIKfyve negatively regulates the function of CD11c+ cells, and PIKfyve inhibition has promise for cancer immunotherapy and vaccine treatment strategies.

Bioinspired Adaptive Microdrugs Enhance the Chemotherapy of Malignant Glioma: Beyond Their Nanodrugs.

Solid nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery systems are usually confined to nanoscale due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect. However, they remain a great challenge for malignant glioma chemotherapy because of poor drug delivery efficiency and insufficient tumor penetration resulting from the blood-brain barrier/blood-brain tumor barrier (BBB/BBTB). Inspired by biological microparticles (e.g., cells) with excellent adaptive deformation, it is demonstrated that the adaptive microdrugs (even up to 3.0 µm in size) are more efficient than their nanodrugs (less than 200 nm in size) to cross BBB/BBTB and penetrate into tumor tissues, achieving highly efficient chemotherapy of malignant glioma. The distinct delivery of the adaptive microdrugs is mainly attributed to the enhanced interfacial binding and endocytosis via adaptive deformation. As expected, the obtained adaptive microdrugs exhibit enhanced accumulation, deep penetration, and cellular internalization into tumor tissues in comparison with nanodrugs, significantly improving the survival rate of glioblastoma mice. It is believed that the bioinspired adaptive microdrugs enable them to efficiently cross physiological barriers and deeply penetrate tumor tissues for drug delivery, providing an avenue for the treatment of solid tumors.

COVID-19 infection, resilience, and depressive symptoms: the protective role of family functioning for aging Chinese adults in Hong Kong.

OBJECTIVES: Older adults are at an elevated risk of experiencing long COVID, with post-COVID-19 depressive symptoms being prevalent. However, the protective factors against this remain understudied. This study examined (a) the role of resilience in the association between COVID-19 infection and depressive symptoms in aging adults; (b) the moderating role of family functioning in the relationships between COVID-19 and resilience and between resilience and depressive symptoms; and (c) potential gender differences in the moderation. METHOD: Data were drawn from the first wave of the Panel Study of Active Ageing and Society, a representative survey of Hong Kong adults aged 50 or above. Mediation and moderated mediation analyses were conducted. RESULTS: Approximately 35% of the participants had tested positive for COVID-19. Resilience significantly mediated the association between COVID-19 infection and post-COVID-19 depressive symptoms (p < 0.001). Family functioning was a significant moderator: the COVID-19-resilience association was stronger, and the resilience-depressive symptoms association was weaker among participants with higher family functioning. The moderating role of family functioning was more salient in women than in men. CONCLUSION: Resilience can protect aging adults from post-COVID-19 depressive symptoms. Interventions for enhancing family functioning may promote the formation of resilience, especially among older women.

Thermally Prolonged NIR-II Luminescence Lifetimes by Cross-Relaxation.

Temperature regulates nonradiative processes in luminescent materials, fundamental to luminescence nanothermometry. However, elevated temperatures often suppress the radiative process, limiting the sensitivity of thermometers. Here, we introduce an approach to populating the excited state of lanthanides at elevated temperatures, resulting in a sizable lifetime lengthening and intensity increase of the near-infrared (NIR)-II emission. The key is to create a five-energy-level system and use a pair of lanthanides to leverage the cross-relaxation process. We observed the lifetime of NIR-II emission of Er3+ has been remarkably increased from 3.85 to 7.54 ms by codoping only 0.5 mol % Ce3+ at 20 °C and further increased to 7.80 ms when increasing the temperature to 40 °C. Moreover, this concept is universal across four ion pairs and remains stable within aqueous nanoparticles. Our findings emphasize the need to design energy transfer systems that overcome the constraint of thermal quenching, enabling efficient imaging and sensing.

Suppression of cracking in drying colloidal suspensions with chain-like particles.

The prevention of drying-induced cracking is crucial in maintaining the mechanical integrity and functionality of colloidal deposits and coatings. Despite exploring various approaches, controlling drying-induced cracking remains a subject of great scientific interest and practical importance. By introducing chain-like particles composed of the same material and with comparable size into commonly used colloidal suspensions of spherical silica nanoparticles, we can significantly reduce the cracks formed in dried particle deposits and achieve a fivefold increase in the critical cracking thickness of colloidal silica coatings. The mechanism underlying the crack suppression is attributed to the increased porosity and pore sizes in dried particle deposits containing chain-like particle, which essentially leads to reduction in internal stresses developed during the drying process. Meanwhile, the nanoindentation measurements reveal that colloidal deposits with chain-like particles exhibit a smaller reduction in hardness compared to those reported using other cracking suppression approaches. This work demonstrates a promising technique for preparing colloidal coatings with enhanced crack resistance while maintaining desirable mechanical properties.

[Progressive myoclonic epilepsy: a retrospective study of newly-diagnosed adult patients from a single center].

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the clinical phenotype and pathogenic variants in patients with Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). METHODS: Clinical data and results of genetic testing for 11 patients diagnosed with PME at the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2017 to December 2022 were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: All of the patients, including 4 males and 7 females, had predominant action myoclonus. Three patients had myoclonus as the initial manifestation, whilst eight were diagnosed through genetic testing, including three cases with NEU1 gene variants, two with EPM2A gene variants (1 was novel), one with MT-TK gene variant, one with ATN1 gene variant, and one with CSTB gene variant. No pathogenic variant was identified in the remaining three cases. Among the eight patients with a genetic diagnosis, three were diagnosed with sialidosis, two with Lafora disease, one with Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), one with Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD), and one with Myoclonic epilepsy with ragging red fibers (MERRF). CONCLUSION: Compared with pediatric patients, adult patients with PME represent a distinct subtype with slower progression and milder cognitive impairment.

PIKfyve controls dendritic cell function and tumor immunity.

The modern armamentarium for cancer treatment includes immunotherapy and targeted therapy, such as protein kinase inhibitors. However, the mechanisms that allow cancer-targeting drugs to effectively mobilize dendritic cells (DCs) and affect immunotherapy are poorly understood. Here, we report that among shared gene targets of clinically relevant protein kinase inhibitors, high PIKFYVE expression was least predictive of complete response in patients who received immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). In immune cells, high PIKFYVE expression in DCs was associated with worse response to ICB. Genetic and pharmacological studies demonstrated that PIKfyve ablation enhanced DC function via selectively altering the alternate/non-canonical NF-κB pathway. Both loss of Pikfyve in DCs and treatment with apilimod, a potent and specific PIKfyve inhibitor, restrained tumor growth, enhanced DC-dependent T cell immunity, and potentiated ICB efficacy in tumor-bearing mouse models. Furthermore, the combination of a vaccine adjuvant and apilimod reduced tumor progression in vivo. Thus, PIKfyve negatively controls DCs, and PIKfyve inhibition has promise for cancer immunotherapy and vaccine treatment strategies.

PAD4 controls tumor immunity via restraining the MHC class II machinery in macrophages.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) shape tumor immunity and therapeutic efficacy. However, it is poorly understood whether and how post-translational modifications (PTMs) intrinsically affect the phenotype and function of TAMs. Here, we reveal that peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) exhibits the highest expression among common PTM enzymes in TAMs and negatively correlates with the clinical response to immune checkpoint blockade. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of PAD4 in macrophages prevents tumor progression in tumor-bearing mouse models, accompanied by an increase in macrophage major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression and T cell effector function. Mechanistically, PAD4 citrullinates STAT1 at arginine 121, thereby promoting the interaction between STAT1 and protein inhibitor of activated STAT1 (PIAS1), and the loss of PAD4 abolishes this interaction, ablating the inhibitory role of PIAS1 in the expression of MHC class II machinery in macrophages and enhancing T cell activation. Thus, the PAD4-STAT1-PIAS1 axis is an immune restriction mechanism in macrophages and may serve as a cancer immunotherapy target.

Lanthanide Complex for Single-Molecule Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization and Background-Free Imaging.

Traditional single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) methods for RNA detection often face sensitivity challenges due to the low fluorescence intensity of the probe. Also, short-lived autofluorescence complicates obtaining clear signals from tissue sections. In response, we have developed an smFISH probe using highly grafted lanthanide complexes to address both concentration quenching and autofluorescence background. Our approach involves an oligo PCR incorporating azide-dUTP, enabling conjugation with lanthanide complexes. This method has proven to be stable, convenient, and cost-effective. Notably, for the mRNA detection in SKBR3 cells, the lanthanide probe group exhibited 2.5 times higher luminescence intensity and detected 3 times more signal points in cells compared with the Cy3 group. Furthermore, we successfully applied the probe to image HER2 mRNA molecules in breast cancer FFPE tissue sections, achieving a 2.7-fold improvement in sensitivity compared to Cy3-based probes. These results emphasize the potential of time-resolved smFISH as a highly sensitive method for nucleic acid detection, free of background fluorescence interference.

Capillary filling of star polymer melts in nanopores.

The topology of a polymer profoundly influences its behavior. However, its effect on imbibition dynamics remains poorly understood. In the present work, capillary filling (during imbibition and following full imbibition) of star polymer melts was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations with a coarse-grained model. The reversal of imbibition dynamics observed for linear-chain systems was also present for star polymers. Star polymers with short arms penetrate slower than the prediction of the Lucas-Washburn equation, while systems with long arms penetrate faster. The radius of gyration increases during confined flow, indicating the orientation and disentanglement of arms. In addition, the higher the functionality of the star polymer, the more entanglement points are retained. Besides, a stiff region near the core segments of the stars is observed, which increases in size with functionality. The proportion of different configurations of the arms (e.g., loops, trains, tails) changes dramatically with the arm length and degree of confinement but is only influenced by the functionality when the arms are short. Following full imbibition, the different decay rates of the self-correlation function of the core-to-end vector illustrate that arms take a longer time to reach the equilibrium state as the functionality, arm length, and degree of confinement increase, in agreement with recent experimental findings. Furthermore, the star topology induces a stronger effect of adsorption and friction, which becomes more pronounced with increasing functionality.

Personal Competence or Environmental Characteristics? Factors Influencing Happiness among Ageing Adults in Hong Kong Around the Period of COVID-19 Pandemic.

Drawing upon person-environment fit perspective, this study examines the joint and interactive influences of personal competence and environmental characteristics on the happiness of ageing adults around the period of COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected in two rounds, before and during the pandemic, with 2,028 participants aged 55 years and older in Hong Kong. Personal competence encompassed financial status, physical health, and mental capital, while environmental characteristics included experiences of ageism, perceived social conditions, and age-friendly policies. Ordinary least squares regression was used to examine personal and environmental influences on happiness. Results indicated a significant decline in happiness following the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. Mental capital was found to have the strongest positive influence on happiness, followed by physical health, financial status, and social conditions. Mental capital mitigated the negative relationship between experiences of ageism and happiness. Practical interventions are informed to improve the well-being of ageing adults during pandemic.

Removal characteristics of high concentration glyphosate in bioretention cells.

Glyphosate, as one of the most widely used pesticides, has been found in rainwater runoff. A bioretention cell with two types of fillers was constructed to explore removal of glyphosate in runoff an transformation of glyphosate in the filler. The type of filler had a significant impact on adsorption and degradation of glyphosate in the bioretention cell. The glyphosate removal efficiencies of coal cinder modified loess (CLB) and zeolite modified loess (ZLB) were 33.13-99.7% and 55.04-99.7%, respectively. Conversion of glyphosate in the bioretention cell occurred mainly in the upper layer of the filler. When the concentration of glyphosate in the runoff was 0.25 or 0.5 mg/L, the concentration of glyphosate degradation products at the two outlets along the way was as much as 26 times higher than that at the lowest outlet. Rainfall events promoted the migration of glyphosate and its degradation products within the filler. Glyphosate and its degradation products in ZLB were mainly distributed at 15 and 25 cm deep in the filler layer, while the highest concentrations in CLB were at 5 and 35 cm. Discontinuous runoff into the bioretention cell leads to continuous leaching and adsorption of glyphosate in the bioretention cell until complete degradation occurs.

Pumping Small Molecules Selectively through an Energy-Assisted Assembling Process at Nonequilibrium States.

In living organisms, precise control over the spatial and temporal distribution of molecules, including pheromones, is crucial. This level of control is equally important for the development of artificial active materials. In this study, we successfully controlled the distribution of small molecules in the system at nonequilibrium states by actively transporting them, even against the apparent concentration gradient, with high selectivity. As a demonstration, in the aqueous solution of acid orange (AO7) and TMC10COOH, we found that AO7 molecules can coassemble with transient anhydride (TMC10CO)2O to form larger assemblies in the presence of chemical fuel 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). This led to a decrease in local free AO7 concentration and caused AO7 molecules from other locations in the solution to move toward the assemblies. Consequently, AO7 accumulates at the location where EDC was injected. By continuously injecting EDC, we could maintain a stable high value of the apparent AO7 concentration at the injection point. We also observed that this process which operated at nonequilibrium states exhibited high selectivity.

Non-Faradaic optoelectrodes for safe electrical neuromodulation.

Nanoscale optoelectrodes hold the potential to stimulate optically individual neurons and intracellular organelles, a challenge that demands both a high-density of photoelectron storage and significant charge injection. Here, we report that zinc porphyrin, commonly used in dye-sensitized solar cells, can be self-assembled into nanorods and then coated by TiO2. The J-aggregated zinc porphyrin array enables long-range exciton diffusion and allows for fast electron transfer into TiO2. The formation of TiO2(e-) attracts positive charges around the neuron membrane, contributing to the induction of action potentials. Far-field cranial irradiation of the motor cortex using a 670 nm laser or an 850 nm femtosecond laser can modulate local neuronal firing and trigger motor responses in the hind limb of mice. The pulsed photoelectrical stimulation of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus alleviates parkinsonian symptoms in mice, improving abnormal stepping and enhancing the activity of dopaminergic neurons. Our results suggest injectable nanoscopic optoelectrodes for optical neuromodulation with high efficiency and negligible side effects.

Cross-domain Chirality Transfer in Self-Assembly of Chiral Block Copolymers.

Chirality transfer is essential to acquire helical hierarchical superstructures from the self-assembly of supramolecular materials. By taking advantage of chirality transfers at different length scales through intra-chain and inter-chain chiral interactions, helical phase (H*) can be formed from the self-assembly of chiral block copolymers (BCPs*). In this study, chiral triblock terpolymers, polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(L-lactide) (PS-PEO-PLLA), and polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine)-b-poly(L-lactide) (PS-P4VP-PLLA) are synthesized for self-assembly. For PS-PEO-PLLA with an achiral PEO mid-block that is compatible with PLLA (chiral end-block), H* can be formed while the block length is below a critical value. By contrast, for the one with achiral P4VP mid-block that is incompatible with PLLA, the formation of H* phase would be suppressed regardless of the length of the mid-block, giving cylinder phase. Those results elucidate a new type of chirality transfer across the phase domain that is referred as cross-domain chirality transfer, providing complementary understanding of the chirality transfer at the interface of phase-separated domains.

Anomalous segmental dynamics of supercooled polyrotaxane melts: A computer simulation study.

Polyrotaxanes, which consist of mechanically interlocked bonds with rings threaded onto soft polymer chains, exhibit unique mechanical properties and find applications in diverse fields. In this study, we investigate the anomalous segmental dynamics of supercooled polyrotaxane melts using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Our simulations reveal that the presence of rings effectively reduces the packing efficiency, resulting in well-contained local motion even below the glass transition temperature. We also observe variations in dynamical free volume, characterized by the Debye-Waller factor, which shows a minimum at a ring coverage of 0.1 on threading chains. Such a non-monotonic dependence on coverage shows great consistency in structural relaxation time and dynamic heterogeneity. Specifically, the high segmental mobility of threading linear chains at large coverage can be attributed to the increased dynamical free volume due to supported rigid rings. However, such anomalous segmental dynamics is limited to length scales smaller than one ring size. Beyond this characteristic length scale, the diffusion is dominated by topological constraints, which significantly reduce the mobility of polyrotaxanes and enhance the dynamic heterogeneity. These findings offer microscopic insights into the unique packing structures and anomalous segmental dynamics of supercooled polyrotaxane melts, facilitating the design of advanced materials based on mechanical interlocking polymers for various applications.
