RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Enhancing awareness and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is vital to curb human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spread. High-risk behaviors prevalent among sexually transmitted infection clinic outpatients underscore the need for increased PrEP/PEP education in this group. AIM: To investigate the effects of both onsite and online health education on the knowledge of, and willingness to use, PrEP and PEP among individuals receiving PEP services. METHODS: Participants were drawn from a cohort study on PEP service intervention at an STD/AIDS outpatient clinic in designated HIV/AIDS hospitals in Beijing, conducted from January 1 to June 30, 2022. Health education was provided both onsite and online during follow-up. Surveys assessing knowledge of, and willingness to use, PrEP/PEP were administered at baseline and again at 24 wk post-intervention. RESULTS: A total of 112 participants were enrolled in the study; 105 completed the follow-up at week 24. The percentage of participants with adequate knowledge of, and willingness to use, PrEP significantly increased from 65.2% and 69.6% at baseline to 83.8% and 82.9% at the end of the intervention (both P < 0.05). Similarly, those with adequate knowledge of, and willingness to use, PEP increased from 74.1% and 77.7% at baseline to 92.4% and 89.5% at week 24 (P < 0.05). Being between 31 years and 40 years of age, having a postgraduate degree or higher, and reporting a monthly expenditure of RMB 5000 or more were found to be significantly associated with knowledge of PrEP and PEP (both P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The findings show that both onsite and online health education significantly improved the knowledge of, and increased willingness to use, PrEP and PEP in individuals utilizing PEP services.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To summarize the abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging and clinicopathological data of patients with SPNs of the pancreas and analyze the accuracy of preoperative CT diagnosis and features. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between June 2006 and June 2023, CT images of 120 histopathologically proven SPNs in the pancreas were retrospectively reviewed. Fifteen features, including age, sex, and CT-determined features, were included in a multiple stepwise regression analysis. The correlations between features and SPNs, including odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were evaluated. RESULTS: Among the 120 patients, the diagnostic accuracy of CT was 43.3%. The baseline CT results of patients with a correct diagnosis and misdiagnosis revealed significant differences in sex (P = 0.043), age (P = 0.004), boundary (P = 0.037) and encapsulation (P = 0.002) between the two groups. The preoperative imaging diagnostic accuracy was significantly greater in females than in males (47.9% vs. 25.0%, P = 0.043). The immunohistochemical indices did not significantly differ between the two groups. The results of univariate analysis revealed significant differences in sex (P = 0.048), age (P = 0.014), tumor length (P = 0.023), tumor boundaries (P = 0.039) and capsule type (P = 0.003). The results of multivariate analysis revealed that encapsulation was closely related to the diagnostic accuracy of CT (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: The accuracy of CT in the diagnosis of SPNs is low, but a lengthâdiameter ratio of the tumor approaching 1.0, encapsulation and clear boundaries are important CT-determined features. The capsule is an independent CT predictor in the diagnosis of SPNs.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a collective term for highly reactive oxygen derivatives, including singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anions, and hydrogen peroxide. In plants, ROS are produced in apoplasts, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes. Although ROS are toxic when their levels exceed a certain threshold, low-concentration ROS can serve as essential signaling molecules for plant growth and development, as well as plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Various aspects of the role of ROS in plants have been discussed in previous reviews. In this review, we first summarize recent progress in the regulatory mechanisms of apoplastic ROS signaling and then propose its potential roles in plant defense against vascular pathogens to provide new ideas for the prevention and control of vascular diseases.
RESUMEN
Objective: This study assessed the association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and arthritis. Methods: Weighted logistic regression and subgroup analyses were used to investigate the association between arthritis incidence and ED among participants in the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. Results: Among the participants, 27.8% and 18.5% had a self-reported history of ED and arthritis, respectively. ED was associated with arthritis (odds ratio [OR]=4.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.20-4.99; p<0.001], which remained significant after adjustment (OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.00-1.96; p<0.001). Stratified by type of arthritis, after full adjustment, osteoarthritis remained significant (OR=1.11; 95% CI: 1.03-1.20; p=0.017), and rheumatoid arthritis (OR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.93-1.13; p= 0.5) and other arthritis (OR=1.04, 95% CI: 0.98-1.11; p=0.2) were not significantly correlated with ED. Multiple inference analyses confirmed the robustness of the results. Conclusion: Our study showed that arthritis was strongly associated with ED. There is an urgent need to raise awareness and conduct additional research on the reasons behind this association in order to implement more scientific and rational treatment programs for patients with ED and arthritis.

Mutualisms are interactions that benefit all species involved. It has been widely investigated in neighbouring subjects, such as biology, ecology, sociology, and economics. However, such a reciprocal relationship in synthetic chemical systems has rarely been studied. Here, we demonstrate a mutualistic synthesis where byproducts from two orthogonal chemical reactions aid each other's production. Disulfide exchange and hydrazone exchange were chosen to generate two dynamic combinatorial libraries. A minor tetrameric macrocycle from the active disulfide library was quantitatively amplified in the presence of the hydrazone library. This incorporation also turned on the previously inert hydrazone reaction, producing a linear species that formed a "handcuffs" catenane with the disulfide tetramer. These findings not only lend robust support to the hypothesis of "RNA-peptide coevolution" for the origin of life but also broaden the scope of synthetic chemistry, highlighting the untapped potential of minor products from different reactions. Additionally, the co-self-assembly of these mutualistic entities to form supramolecular structures opens new avenues for future development of composite nanosystems with synergistic properties.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Because of the complex anatomy of the right posterior hepatic pedicle, there have been few reports on standardized laparoscopic portal territory staining-guided anatomical resection of liver segment 6 (LPTAR-S6). This study aimed to elucidate the indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence staining methods for LPTAR-S6. PATIENTS AND METHODS: LPTAR-S6 can be performed using positive and negative fluorescence staining approaches. We implemented these two approaches for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Descriptions of the surgical strategy and technical details are presented. RESULTS: Two patients safely underwent LPTAR-S6 using a preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction plan. The intraoperative ICG fluorescence staining effect was satisfactory, and the anatomical landmarks were fully exposed. CONCLUSIONS: A detailed preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction plan, complete intraoperative application of real-time laparoscopic ultrasound guidance, and ICG fluorescence staining can result in accurate transection of the liver parenchyma during LPTAR-S6.
RESUMEN
Isoproterenol (ISO) administration is a well-established model for inducing myocardial injury, replicating key features of human myocardial infarction (MI). The ensuing inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in the progression of adverse cardiac remodeling, characterized by myocardial dysfunction, fibrosis, and hypertrophy. The Mst1/Hippo signaling pathway, a critical regulator of cellular processes, has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the role of Mst1 in ISO-induced myocardial injury and explores its underlying mechanisms. Our findings demonstrate that Mst1 ablation in cardiomyocytes attenuates ISO-induced cardiac dysfunction, preserving cardiomyocyte viability and function. Mechanistically, Mst1 deletion inhibits cardiomyocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress, and calcium overload, key contributors to myocardial injury. Furthermore, Mst1 ablation mitigates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial fission, both of which are implicated in ISO-mediated cardiac damage. Additionally, Mst1 plays a crucial role in modulating the inflammatory response following ISO treatment, as its deletion suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and neutrophil infiltration. To further investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying ISO-induced myocardial injury, we conducted a bioinformatics analysis using the GSE207581 dataset. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses revealed significant enrichment of genes associated with DNA damage response, DNA repair, protein ubiquitination, chromatin organization, autophagy, cell cycle, mTOR signaling, FoxO signaling, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, and nucleocytoplasmic transport. These findings underscore the significance of Mst1 in ISO-induced myocardial injury and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for mitigating adverse cardiac remodeling. Further investigation into the intricate mechanisms of Mst1 signaling may pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions for myocardial infarction and heart failure.

Aqueous zinc (Zn) iodine (I2) batteries have emerged as viable alternatives to conventional metal-ion batteries. However, undesirable Zn deposition and irreversible iodine conversion during cycling have impeded their progress. To overcome these concerns, we report a dynamical interface design by cation chemistry that improves the reversibility of Zn deposition and four-electron iodine conversion. Due to this design, we demonstrate an excellent Zn-plating/-stripping behavior in Zn||Cu asymmetric cells over 1000 cycles with an average Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.95%. Moreover, the Zn||I2 full cells achieve a high-rate capability (217.1 mA h g-1 at 40 A g-1; C rate of 189.5C) at room temperature and enable stable cycling with a CE of more than 99% at -50 °C at a current density of 0.05 A g-1. In situ spectroscopic investigations and simulations reveal that introducing tetraethylammonium cations as ion sieves can dynamically modulate the electrode-electrolyte interface environment, forming the unique water-deficient and chloride ion (Cl-)-rich interface. Such Janus interface accounts for the suppression of side reactions, the prevention of ICl decomposition, and the enrichment of reactants, enhancing the reversibility of Zn-stripping/-plating and four-electron iodine chemistry. This fundamental understanding of the intrinsic interplay between the electrode-electrolyte interface and cations offers a rational standpoint for tuning the reversibility of iodine conversion.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Prior typing methods fail to provide predictive insights into surgical complexities for extrahepatic choledochal cyst (ECC). This study aims to establish a new classification system for ECC through clustering of imaging results. Additionally, it seeks to compare the differences among the identified ECC types and assess the levels of surgical difficulty. METHODS: The imaging data of 124 patients were automatically grouped through a K-means clustering analysis. According to the characteristics of the new grouping, corrections and interventions were carried out to establish a new classification. Demographic data, clinical presentations, surgical parameters, complications, reoperation, and prognostic indicators were analyzed according to different types. Factors contributing to prolonged surgical time were also evaluated. RESULTS: A new classification system of ECC: Type A (upper segment), Type B (middle segment), Type C (lower segment), and Type D (entire bile duct). The incidences of comorbidities (calculus or infection) were significantly different (P = 0.000, P = 0.002). Additionally, variations in the incidence of postoperative biliary stricture were statistically significant (P = 0.046). The operative time was significantly different between groups (P = 0.001). Age, BMI > 30, classification, and the presence of combined stones exhibit a significant association with prolonged operative time (P = 0.002, P = 0.000, P = 0.011, P = 0.011). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our utilization of machine learning-driven cluster analysis has enabled the creation of a novel extrahepatic biliary dilatation typology. This classification, in conjunction with factors like age, combined stone occurrence, and obesity, significantly influences the complexity of laparoscopic choledochal cyst surgery, offering valuable insights for improved surgical treatment.

SAR (synthetic aperture radar) ship detection is a hot topic due to the breadth of its application. However, limited by the volume of the SAR image, the generalization ability of the detector is low, which makes it difficult to adapt to new scenes. Although many data augmentation methods-for example, clipping, pasting, and mixing-are used, the accuracy is improved little. In order to solve this problem, the adversarial training is used for data generation in this paper. Perturbation is added to the SAR image to generate new samples for training, and it can make the detector learn more abundant features and promote the robustness of the detector. By separating batch normalization between clean samples and disturbed images, the performance degradation on clean samples is avoided. By simultaneously perturbing and selecting large losses of classification and location, it can keep the detector adaptable to more confrontational samples. The optimization efficiency and results are improved through K-step average perturbation and one-step gradient descent. The experiments on different detectors show that the proposed method achieves 8%, 10%, and 17% AP (Average Precision) improvement on the SSDD, SAR-Ship-Dataset, and AIR-SARShip, compared to the traditional data augmentation methods.
RESUMEN
Conductive hydrogels (CHs) are emerging materials for next generation sensing systems in flexible electronics. However, the fabrication of competent CHs with excellent stretchability, adhesion, self-healing, photothermal conversion, multisensing, and environmental stability remains a huge challenge. Herein, a nanocomposite organohydrogel with the above features is constructed by in situ copolymerization of zwitterionic monomer and acrylamide in the existence of carboxylic cellulose nanofiber-carrying reduced graphene oxide (rGO) plus a solvent displacement strategy. The synergy of abundant dipole-dipole interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonds enables the organohydrogel to exhibit high stretchability, strong adhesion, and good self-healing. The presence of glycerol weakens the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules, endowing the organohydrogel with excellent environmental stability (-40 to 60 °C) to adapt to different application scenarios. Importantly, the multimodal organohydrogel presents excellent sensing behavior, including a high gauge factor of 16.3 at strains of 400-1440% and a reliable thermal coefficient of resistance (-4.2 °C-1) over a wide temperature widow (-40 to 60 °C). Moreover, the organohydrogel displays a highly efficient and reliable photothermal conversion ability due to the favorable optical absorbing behavior of rGO. Notably, the organohydrogel can detect accurate human activities at ambient temperature, demonstrating potential applications in flexible intelligent electronics.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To compare the safety and efficiency of ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and surgical resection (SR) for thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC) in the danger triangle area. METHODS: The clinical data of 298 patients who underwent either percutaneous RFA or SR for PTC in the thyroid danger triangle at our hospital between January 2018 and April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching is employed to regulate for confounding factors. All patients undergoing ablation were treated using a strategy that combined sufficient paratracheal fluid isolation with a low-power, short electrode. Disease progression was analyzed in patients with T1N0M0 PTC (T1a and T1b) employed in KaplanâMeier curves. Treatment parameters and the rates of local recurrence, distant metastasis, and complications are recorded and compared. RESULTS: Of 182 eligible patients who were included, 91 were in the RFA (age 44.84 ± 13.19; 71 females; 77 T1a) and 91 were in the SR (age 47.36 ± 11.05; 68 females; 69 T1a). The average treatment time, length of hospital stays, blood loss volume, and scar length are substantially less in the RFA than in the SR. Major complications as well as postoperative permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and postoperative transient parathyroid dysfunction occurred only in the SR, with a substantial distinction between the two groups (p < 0.05). There is no substantial distinction in the disease progression between RFA and SR treatment of T1N0M0 PTC. CONCLUSION: RFA is as effective as surgery for PTC in the danger triangle area in the short term, with faster recovery and fewer complications. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Radiofrequency ablation has a clinical efficacy comparable to surgery in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma in the danger triangle area in the short term with the advantages of faster recovery and fewer complications when compared with surgery. KEY POINTS: Use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the thyroid danger triangle is still controversial. RFA and surgery groups showed no difference in disease progressions, and no major complications occurred with RFA. Radiofrequency ablation offers a new option for papillary thyroid carcinoma patients in the danger triangle.
RESUMEN
Background: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare, highly malignant type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a poor prognosis. Targeted drugs for MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutation can have considerable clinical benefits. This study aimed to predict METex14 skipping mutation in PSC patients by whole-tumour texture analysis combined with clinical and conventional contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) features. Methods: This retrospective study included 56 patients with PSC diagnosed by pathology. All patients underwent CECT before surgery or other treatment, and both targeted DNA- and RNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to detect METex14 skipping mutation status. The patients were divided into two groups: METex14 skipping mutation and nonmutation groups. Overall, 1,316 texture features of the whole tumour were extracted. We also collected 12 clinical and 20 conventional CECT features. After dimensionality reduction and selection, predictive models were established by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Models were evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), and the clinical utility of the model was assessed by decision curve analysis. Results: METex14 skipping mutation was detected in 17.9% of PSCs. Mutations were found more frequently in those (I) who had smaller long- or short-axis diameters (P=0.02, P=0.01); (II) who had lower T stages (I, II) (P=0.02); and (III) with pseudocapsular or annular enhancement (P=0.03). The combined model based on the conventional and texture models yielded the best performance in predicting METex14 skipping mutation with the highest AUC (0.89). The conventional and texture models also had good performance (AUC =0.83 conventional; =0.88 texture). Conclusions: Whole-tumour texture analysis combined with clinical and conventional CECT features may serve as a noninvasive tool to predict the METex14 skipping mutation status in PSC.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Inflammatory response is crucial for bile acid (BA)-induced cholestatic liver injury, but molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Solute Carrier Family 35 Member C1 (SLC35C1) can transport Guanosine diphosphate-fucose into the Golgi to facilitate protein glycosylation. Its mutation leads to the deficiency of leukocyte adhesion and enhances inflammation in humans. However, little is known about its role in liver diseases. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Hepatic SLC35C1 mRNA transcripts and protein expression were significantly increased in patients with obstructive cholestasis and mouse models of cholestasis. Immunofluorescence revealed that the upregulated SLC35C1 expression mainly occurred in hepatocytes. Liver-specific ablation of Slc35c1 ( Slc35c1 cKO ) significantly aggravated liver injury in mouse models of cholestasis induced by bile duct ligation and 1% cholic acid-feeding, evidenced by increased liver necrosis, inflammation, fibrosis, and bile ductular proliferation. The Slc35c1 cKO increased hepatic chemokine Ccl2 and Cxcl2 expression and T cell, neutrophil, and F4/80 macrophage infiltration but did not affect the levels of serum and liver BA in mouse models of cholestasis. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analysis revealed that hepatic Slc35c1 deficiency substantially reduced the fucosylation of cell-cell adhesion protein CEACAM1 at N153. Mechanistically, cholestatic levels of conjugated BAs stimulated SLC35C1 expression by activating the STAT3 signaling to facilitate CEACAM1 fucosylation at N153, and deficiency in the fucosylation of CEACAM1 at N135 enhanced the BA-stimulated CCL2 and CXCL2 mRNA expression in primary mouse hepatocytes and Primary Liver Carcinoma/Poliomyelitis Research Foundation/5- ASBT cells. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated hepatic SLC35C1 expression attenuates cholestatic liver injury by enhancing CEACAM1 fucosylation to suppress CCL2 and CXCL2 expression and liver inflammation.
RESUMEN
Introduction: The incidence of renal tumours is increasing annually, and imaging alone cannot meet the diagnostic needs. Aim: This single-centre study aimed to evaluate the predictors of diagnostic imaging-guided percutaneous renal mass biopsy (PRMB), its accuracy and safety, and subsequent changes to the treatment plan. Material and methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients who had undergone PRMB. The diagnosis rate, pathological data, and complications were analysed. Potential predictors of a diagnostic PRMB were evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Changes to the treatment plan due to PRMB results were also analysed. Results: A total of 158 patients were included in this study. The univariate analysis showed that higher tumour diameter (OR = 1.223, 95% CI: 1.018-1.468, p = 0.031) and number of biopsy cores ≥ 2 (OR = 6.125, 95% CI: 2.006-18.703, p = 0.001) were significantly associated with diagnostic biopsy, and multivariate analysis results showed that higher tumour diameter (OR = 1.215, 95% CI: 1.008-1.463, p = 0.041) was an independent predictor of diagnostic biopsy. A nomogram including tumour diameter and number of biopsy cores was constructed to predict diagnostic biopsy. Compared with postoperative pathology, the concordance between biopsy and postoperative pathology at identifying malignancies, histologic type, and histologic grade were 100% (47/47), 85.1% (40/47), and 54.1% (20/37), respectively. The treatment plans of 15 patients (9.5%) changed based on the PRMB results. Fourteen patients (8.9%) had minor complications (Clavien-Dindo classification < 2). Conclusions: Our results suggest that tumour diameter was an independent predictor of diagnostic biopsy. Furthermore, PRMB can be accurately and safely performed and may guide clinical decision-making for patients with renal tumours.
RESUMEN
Northeast China, rich in natural resources and diverse biodiversity, boasts a unique habitat for threatened bird species due to its remote location and perennial cold climate. An analysis assessed the adaptability of these species using data on their geographic distribution and functional traits collected through database queries. The results revealed that threatened bird species share similar functional traits and a stronger phylogenetic signal (Blomberg mean K = 0.39) compared to common species. The Biomod2 model analyzed potentially suitable ranges and environmental drivers under current and future climate scenarios, showing a pattern of larger suitable areas in southern regions and smaller suitable areas in the north. The most critically threatened species faced greater geographical constraints (0.989), with mean annual temperature being a key influence. Altitude and water system distribution were also key factors impacting the distribution of other threatened bird species. Simulated projections under different climate scenarios (RCP 45 and 85) indicated varying degrees of expansion in the suitable range for these species. This research sheds light on the functional traits and distribution of threatened bird species in Northeast China, providing a scientific foundation for future conservation and management efforts.
