RESUMEN
Litsea cubeba essential oil (LCEO) has garnered widespread attention due to its robust biological activity. However, challenges such as high volatility, limited water solubility, and low bioavailability impede its application. Nano-emulsion encapsulation technology offers an effective solution to these issues. In this study, we prepared litsea cubeba essential oil nano-emulsion (LCEO-NE) for the first time using whey protein (WP) as the emulsifier through an ultrasonic-assisted method, achieving high efficiency with minimal energy consumption. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analyses revealed that the nanoparticles were uniformly spherical, with a particle size of 183.5 ± 1.19 nm and a zeta potential of -35.5 ± 0.95 mV. Stability studies revealed that LCEO-NE exhibited excellent thermal and salt stability, maintaining its integrity for up to four weeks when stored at 4 °C and 25 °C. In vitro digestion assays confirmed the digestibility of LCEO-NE. Furthermore, evaluation of the DPPH, ABTS, and antimicrobial activities revealed that LCEO-NE displayed superior bacteriostatic and antioxidant properties compared to LCEO. Scanning electron microscopy elucidated that its bacteriostatic effect involved the disruption of bacterial microstructure. Hemocompatibility and cytotoxicity assays demonstrated the safety of LCEO-NE within the effective concentration range. This research supports the utilization of nanoparticles for encapsulating LCEO, thereby enhancing its stability and bioactivity, and consequently expanding its applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Hard x-rays are widely used for plasma diagnosis, nondestructive inspection, and high-resolution x-ray imaging. A typical x-ray source is a tabletop micro-focus x-ray source. Here, a bifocal photon sieve (PS) with the smallest diameter of 59.6 nm was designed and fabricated by electron-beam lithography to focus hard x-rays on variable-resolution array images. An imaging experiment at 8.39 keV demonstrates that the designed and fabricated PS has two different focal lengths. The numerous pinholes that can be optimized provide richer degrees of freedom to realize considerably more functionalities. A multi-focal PS provides the possibility of splitting x-rays and further extends interferometry from visible light to hard x-rays.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The study aims to examine how moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) affects the severity of depression symptoms among Chinese college students. Additionally, it seeks to analyze the mediating mechanisms involving self-rated health and general self-efficacy. METHODS: The study utilized data from the 2023 Chinese College Health Tracking Survey and employed multiple linear regression and structural equation modeling techniques to investigate the impacts of MVPA on depression levels and its underlying mediating mechanisms among college students. The primary cohort comprised 49,717 enrolled college students from 106 universities in China. RESULTS: A total of 41,620 valid questionnaires were collected (response rate: 83.7%), with females accounting for 58.6%. In the past month, approximately 30.2% of college students engaged in MVPA. Self-rated health (B = - 0.282, P < 0.001) and general self-efficacy (B = - 0.133, P < 0.001) significantly influenced college students' depression scores. Even after controlling for other variables, participating in MVPA remained significantly associated with reduced depression scores (B = - 0.062, P = 0.002). The results of the structural equation model showed that MVPA not only directly decreased college students' depression scores but also indirectly reduced the likelihood of depression occurrence by improving their physical health status and general self-efficacy. CONCLUSION: The lack of physical activity among Chinese college students is evident. Engaging in MVPA can reduce the likelihood of depression among college students. MVPA achieves this reduction by enhancing college students' general self-efficacy and improving their physical health. The factors influencing depression levels among college students are multifaceted. For future interventions targeting college students' mental health, comprehensive approaches that incorporate behavioral and psychological factors should be emphasized.

The traditional interferometric calibration of phase spatial light modulators (SLM) based on interference fringes shift is easily disturbed due to environmental vibration. Here a kind of absolutely interferometric calibration of phase SLM is investigated to eliminate the disturbance using dual honeycomb gratings composited with Billet-split Fresnel zone plates (BsFZP), in which honeycomb gratings split an incident beam into three beams and the first two beams are interfered by BsFZP while the last beam is chosen as the absolute reference point. The experiments on both 532 and 632.8 nm incident wavelengths were separately carried out, and the measuring accuracy was proved by a SID4 wavefront sensor. The proposed high-accuracy calibration provided the basis for SLM application scenarios with high precision.
RESUMEN
Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) radiation is a promising tool, not only for probing microscopic activities but also for processing nanoscale structures and performing high-resolution imaging. In this study, we demonstrate an innovative method to generate free light-shape focusing with self-evolutionary photon sieves under a single-shot coherent EUV laser; this includes vortex focus shaping, array focusing, and structured-light shaping. The results demonstrate that self-evolutionary photon sieves, consisting of a large number of specific pinholes fabricated on a piece of Si3N4 membrane, are capable of freely regulating an EUV light field, for which high-performance focusing elements are extremely lacking, let alone free light-shape focusing. Our proposed versatile photon sieves are a key breakthrough in focusing technology in the EUV region and pave the way for high-resolution soft X-ray microscopy, spectroscopy in materials science, shorter lithography, and attosecond metrology in next-generation synchrotron radiation and free-electron lasers.
RESUMEN
Background and aims: Whether ultra-processed food consumption is associated with cancer prognosis remains unknown. We aimed to test whether prediagnosis ultra-processed food consumption is positively associated with all-cause and cancer-specific mortality in patients with colorectal, lung, prostate, or breast cancer. Methods: This study included 1,100 colorectal cancer patients, 1750 lung cancer patients, 4,336 prostate cancer patients, and 2,443 breast cancer patients. Ultra-processed foods were assessed using the NOVA classification before the diagnosis of the first cancer. Multivariable Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for all-cause and cancer-specific mortality. Results: High ultra-processed food consumption before cancer diagnosis was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in lung (HRquartile 4 vs. 1: 1.18; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.40; Ptrend = 0.021) and prostate (HRquartile 4 vs. 1: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.39; Ptrend = 0.017) cancer patients in a nonlinear dose-response manner (all Pnonlinearity < 0.05), whereas no significant results were found for other associations of interest. Subgroup analyses additionally revealed a significantly positive association with colorectal cancer-specific mortality among colorectal cancer patients in stages I and II but not among those in stages III and IV (Pinteraction = 0.006), and with prostate cancer-specific mortality among prostate cancer patients with body mass index <25 but not among those with body mass index ≥25 (Pinteraction = 0.001). Conclusion: Our study suggests that reducing ultra-processed food consumption before cancer diagnosis may improve the overall survival of patients with lung or prostate cancer, and the cancer-specific survival of certain subgroups of patients with colorectal or prostate cancer.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Existing epidemiological observational studies have suggested interesting but inconsistent clinical correlations between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and kidney stone disease (KSD). Herein, we implemented a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationship between IBD and KSD. METHODS: Data on IBD and KSD were obtained from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) summary statistics and the FinnGen consortium, respectively. Strict selection steps were used to screen for eligible instrumental SNPs. We applied inverse variance weighting (IVW) with the fix-effects model as the major method. Several sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate pleiotropy and heterogeneity. Causal relationships between IBD and KSD were explored in two opposite directions. Furthermore, we carried out multivariable MR (MVMR) to obtain the direct causal effects of IBD on KSD. RESULTS: Our results demonstrated that CD could increase the risk of KSD (IVW: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.03-1.10, p < 0.001). Similar results were found in the validation group (IVW: OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.01-1.08, p = 0.013) and in the MVMR analysis. Meanwhile, no evidence of a causal association between UC and KSD was identified. The reverse MR analysis detected no causal association. CONCLUSIONS: This MR study verified that CD plays a critical role in developing kidney stones and that the effect of UC on KSD needs to be further explored.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) is a common tumor of the urological system for which surgery is the preferred treatment, but there is a lack of therapeutic options after surgery. This study aims to explore the biological role of GNG7 on CCRCC from a genetic perspective. Differences in mRNA expression and patient survival of GNG7 in patients with CCRCC and healthy patients were analyzed using the TCGA database. It was observed that GNG7 gene expression was downregulated in CCRCC tissue compared with healthy tissue, and high GNG7 predicted better prognosis for patients, and GNG7 also showed strong variability in clinical and TMN staging. The immune relevance of GNG7 and related genes was explored using renal cancer data from CCLE and TISIDB database. It was verified that the risk score constructed by 7 GNG7-related regulators might be used as an independent prognostic risk factor for CCRCC. A CCRCC prognostic model that involved 7 immune genes was further established to predict the survival probabilities of patients. At last, the GEO database and immunochemical tissue staining were used to validate GNG7 expression in CCRCC. Our study proposed a novel panel of genes to predict CCRCC OS based on GNG7-related immune genes, which may help to accurately predict the prognosis of CCRCC patients and make better clinical decisions for individual treatment.

Diffractive lenses are popular in large optical systems owing to their lightweight and multifunctional design. However, they are difficult to calibrate accurately due to the cross talk between the first-order diffraction and the background light. Here, a quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry (QWLSI) with spherical wave illumination was proposed to absolutely measure the focusing properties of diffractive lenses by means of the reference background light, in which the corresponding theoretical modeling was first derived, and then the single-shot experiment on a 210 mm-diameter beam was carried out. The results showed that the measurement error of the focal length was 0.59%, and the consistency error was 0.008%.
RESUMEN
To systematically evaluate the differences in therapeutic response to chemotherapy or immunotherapy between different molecular subtypes of bladder cancer (BC). A comprehensive literature search was performed up to December 2021. Consensus clusters 1 (CC1), CC2 and CC3 molecular subtypes were used to perform meta-analysis. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the therapeutic response by fix-effect modeling. Eight studies involving 1,463 patients were included. For immunotherapy, CC3 showed the highest response rate (CC1 vs. CC3: OR=0.52, 95% CI=0.34-0.78, p=0.002; CC2 vs. CC3: OR=0.42, 95% CI=0.28-0.62, p<0.001), which was mainly reflected in the highest response rate to atezolizumab (CC1 vs. CC3: OR=0.47, 95% CI=0.29-0.75, p=0.002; CC2 vs. CC3: OR=0.38, 95% CI=0.24-0.59, p<0.001). For chemotherapy, CC3 had the lowest response rate to the overall chemotherapy (CC1 vs. CC3: OR=2.05, 95% CI=1.23-3.41, p=0.006; CC2 vs. CC3: OR=2.48, 95% CI=1.50-4.10, p<0.001). Compared with CC2, CC3 responded poorly to both neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) (OR=1.93, 95% CI=1.09-3.41, p=0.020) and chemoradiation therapy (CRT) (OR=6.07, 95% CI=1.87-19.71, p<0.001). Compared with CC1, CC3 only showed a poorer response to CRT (OR=4.53, 95% CI=1.26-16.27, p=0.020), and no difference in NAC. Our study suggested that molecular classifications are important predictors of cancer treatment outcomes of BC patients and could identify subgroup patients who are most likely to benefit from specific cancer treatments.

BACKGROUND: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common malignancies. Recently, immunotherapy has been considered a promising treatment for metastatic ccRCC. NUF2 is a crucial component of the Ndc80 complex. NUF2 can stabilize microtubule attachment and is closely related to cell apoptosis and proliferation. This research is dedicated to investigating the role of NUF2 in ccRCC and the possible mechanisms. METHODS: First, analysis of NUF2 mRNA expression levels in ccRCC and normal tissues by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and further verified by analysis of independent multiple microarray data sets in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Moreover, we evaluated and identified correlations between NUF2 expression, clinicopathologic variable, and overall survival (OS) in ccRCC by various methods. We investigated the relationship between NUF2 and tumor immune infiltration and the expression of corresponding immune cell markers via the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) databases. Then, we performed functional enrichment analysis of NUF2 co-expressed genes using R software and protein-protein interactions (PPIs) using the search tool used to retrieve interacting genes/proteins (STRING) databases. RESULTS: We discovered that NUF2 mRNA expression was upregulated in ccRCC tissues and was associated with sex, grade, pathological stage, lymph node metastasis, and worse prognosis. In addition, NUF2 was positively linked to tumor immune cells in ccRCC. Moreover, NUF2 was closely related to genetic markers of different immune cells. Finally, functional enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis suggested that NUF2 and its closely related genes may be involved in the regulation of the cell cycle and mitosis. Our results suggested that NUF2 is correlated with a poor prognosis and immune infiltration in ccRCC.

BACKGROUND: The main objective of this article is to understand trends in the incidence of renal cancer and to construct a nomogram to predict the prognosis of patients with renal cancer by analyzing clinical parameters. METHODS: We extracted data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database for patients with renal cancer from 2010 to 2015. The incidence rate was calculated to understand the trend of renal cancer in recent years, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between patients' clinical variables and overall survival. Nomogram and calibration curves were constructed based on factors predicted by multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS: Data from 68,496 eligible renal cancer patients were included in the study. The incidence of renal cancer was higher in men than women and tended to stabilize over time. We further found that age, gender, marital status, AJCC stage, histological type, metastatic disease, and surgery were independent parameters for prognosis in renal cancer patients. Finally, a nomogram was constructed based on the above parameters, and its validity was verified with the agreement index and calibration curve. CONCLUSION: Renal cancer incidence trend gradually stabilized. Seven independent parameters for renal cancer patients were obtained by analysis and utilized to construct a nomogram that could provide guidance for clinical practice.

Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) represents the rare urological epithelial cancer of urinary tract, which has a large mass and is usually diagnosed at the advanced stage, thus inducing the poor prognosis. As a result, early detection and diagnosis are more important for the prognosis rather than the treatment of ACC. There is evidence supporting the association of Sulfatase2 (SULF2) with bladder cancer. However, the relationships of SULF2 with the clinical features and immune infiltration of ACC remain unclear. Methods: This work comprehensively investigated the different expression levels of SULF2 within ACC and its prognostic significance through various databases including Gene Expression Profiling Interaction Analysis (GEPIA), Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Kaplan-Meier (KM) plotter and UALCAN. Besides, SULF2 levels within different tumor and paraneoplastic tissues were examined based on Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and TIMER. Afterwards, this study identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in high-compared with low-SULF2-expression groups. To predict the possible interaction between SULF2 and its targets, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed based on relevant data collected in STRING database. Besides, the SULF2 functional annotation was carried out, including Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and GSEA. In addition, gene mutation analysis was also performed based on the cBioPortal database. The relation of SULF2 with immune infiltration was analyzed from various aspects by using the resources of various databases including TIMER, TISIDB, and GEPIA, which was first reported in this work. Finally, R package was utilized to plot the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of diagnosis, time-dependent survival, and the association of SULF2 with cancer stage and the nomogram model. Finally, CellMiner dataset was adopted for SULF2 correlation as well as drug sensitivity analysis. Results: Relative to healthy people, SULF2 level markedly elevated within ACC tissues. Besides, SULF2 up-regulation significantly predicted the dismal prognostic outcome, which may be an important prognostic factor. Afterwards, the PPI network was constructed, and the possible link of SULF2 with the corresponding targets was predicted. Besides, up-regulated SULF2 expression was tightly related to immune regulation and tumor-infiltration immune cell (TIICs), including CD8+, CD4+ and mast cells. Finally, SULF2 expression was speculated to help determine the sensitivity of certain drugs. Conclusions: SULF2 may offer a new therapeutic target for ACC patients and become an important potential prognostic biomarker.
RESUMEN
Dust aerosols in Central Asia are an important factor in global climate change and attribution studies. Identifying the source of dust in Central Asia is crucial for understanding the ecological environment and climate, locally and globally. In this study, daily dust aerosol data were calculated and extracted for Central Asia from 2003 to 2018. The multi-year trends of dust aerosols were analyzed, dust sources were identified, the characteristics of dust aerosols in dust sources were analyzed, and the influence of soil moisture on sand initiation was explored. The results show that there are distinct seasonal characteristics in the spatial distribution of dust aerosols in Central Asia. The proportion of the area in the zone of high dust aerosols was the greatest in spring. Nearly half of the dust aerosol areas exhibited an increasing trend. A high incidence of dust sources was mainly distributed in the southern Xinjiang region. The trend of change in the dust area first increased and then decreased. With the increase in soil moisture under different wind speed conditions, the aerosols from dust sources all showed an exponentially decreasing trend, and the increase in soil moisture led to an increase in the wind speed threshold of sand initiation. This study provides basic data support for the study of dust aerosols, identifies dust sources, and provides a basis for studying the radiative forcing and climate effects of dust aerosols in Central Asia.
RESUMEN
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activate and acquire proliferative features in response to liver injury. However, mechanisms involved in the activation of fibrotic HSCs remain uncharacterized. This study aims at elaborating the mechanistic basis by which exosomal H2AFJ derived from hepatocytes might affect the activation of HSCs and liver fibrosis. Bioinformatics analysis based on transcriptomic RNA-seq data was used to screen out the downstream regulatory genes and pathways of H2AFJ. Mouse hepatocytes AML-12 cells were stimulated with CCl4 to mimic an in vitro microenvironment of liver fibrosis, from which exosomes were isolated. Next, HSCs were co-cultured with hepatocyte-derived exosomes followed by detection of HSC migration and invasion in the presence of manipulated H2AFJ and STMN1 expression and MAPK pathway inhibitor. It was found that H2AFJ was highly expressed in hepatocyte-derived exosomes after CCl4 stimulation. Hepatocyte-derived exosomal H2AFJ promoted HSC migration and invasion. H2AFJ upregulated c-jun-mediated STMN1 by activating the MAPK signaling pathway. Furthermore, in vivo experiments verified that silencing of H2AFJ attenuated liver fibrosis in mice, while restoration of STMN1 negated its effect. Collectively, hepatocyte-derived exosomal H2AFJ aggravated liver fibrosis by activating the MAPK/STMN1 signaling pathway. This study provides a potential therapeutic target for alleviating liver fibrosis.

To analyze the expression levels, prognostic value and immune infiltration association of Holliday junction protein (HJURP) as well as its feasibility as a pan-cancer biomarker for different cancers. The Protter online tool was utilized to obtain the localization of HJURP, then the methylation of HJURP in tumors were further explored. Thereafter, the mRNA data and clinical characteristics of 33 tumor types from TCGA database were obtained to investigate the expression and prognostic relationship of HJURP in different tumor types. Finally, the composition pattern and immune infiltration of HJURP in different tumors were detected in Tumor Immune Estimation Resource. HJURP was abnormally expressed in most of the cancer types and subtypes in TCGA database. Also, it was associated with poor prognosis of different cohorts. At the same time, the results also showed that HJURP was related to tumor immune evasion through different mechanisms, including T cell rejection and methylation in different cancer types. Besides, the methylation of HJURP was inversely proportional to mRNA expression levels, which mediated the dysfunctional phenotypes of T cells and poor prognosis of different cancer types. Alternatively, our results indicated that HJURP expression was associated with immune cell infiltration in a variety of cancers. HJURP may serve as an oncogenic molecule, and its expression and immune infiltration characteristics can be used as a biomarker for cancer detection, prognosis, treatment design and follow-up.

METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 3980 college students from three universities in Jiangsu province by random cluster sampling. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short (IPAQ-SF) measured college students' physical activity. The Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale for College Students (MPATS) measured problematic mobile phone use tendencies. College students' physical activity was measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short (IPAQ-SF), and the Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale measured their mobile phone addiction tendency for College Students (MPATS). RESULTS: (1) The proportions of the low-, medium-, and high-intensity physical activity were 83.5%, 10.7%, and 5.8%, respectively, with gender differences; The score of problematic mobile phone use tendency was 38.725 ± 15.139. (2) There were significant differences in problematic mobile phone use tendency among college students with different physical activity intensity (F = 11.839, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.007). (3) The level of physical activity was significantly correlated with the tendency of problematic mobile phone use (r = -0.173, p < 0.001). (4) Physical activity of college students could significantly predict the tendency of problematic mobile phone use (F (3,3605) = 11.296, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The physical activity of college students was mainly moderate to low intensity, while the tendency of problematic mobile phone use was high. College students' physical activity level was one of the important constraints of problematic mobile phone use tendency.

Objective: We investigated the effects of COVID-19 fear on negative moods among college students, and assessed the efficacy of physical exercise behavior as a moderator variable. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Students from three colleges and universities in Shangqiu City, Henan Province and Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province were enrolled in this study, which was performed during the COVID-19 pandemic using an online questionnaire. A total of 3,133 college students completed the questionnaire. Measurement tools included the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S), Depression-Anxiety-Stress Self-Rating Scale (DASS), and the Physical Activity Behavior Scale (PARS-3). Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the rates of depression, anxiety, and stressful negative moods among college students were 35.5, 65.5, and 10.95%, respectively; there was a positive correlation between COVID-19 fear and negative moods among college students (r = 0.479, p < 0.001), which was negatively correlated with physical exercise behavior (r = -0.4, p < 0.001); the regulating effects of physical exercise behavior were significant (ΔR2 = 0.04, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The rate of negative moods among college students is high, and the fear for COVID-19 is one of the key factors that lead to negative moods. Physical exercise can modulate the impact of COVID-19 fear among college students on negative moods. Studies should elucidate on mental health issues among different populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A vortex array has important applications in scenarios where multiple vortex elements with the same or different topological charges are required simultaneously. Therefore, the detection of the vortex array is vital. Here, the interferogram between the off-axis Walsh-phase plate and the vortex array is first obtained and then decoded through a convolution neural network (CNN), which can simultaneously determine the topological charge, chirality, and the initial angle. Both the theory and experiment prove that a CNN has a remarkable effect on the classification and detection of vortex arrays.
