    Abstract Objectives: Serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, the causal associations between serum levels of specific MMPs and venous thromboembolism (VTE) remain unclear. The present study sought to explore the causal relationship between serum MMP levels and VTE by using the Mendelian randomization (MR) method.
    Methods: In this study 2-sample MR study, the exposure data on serum MMP levels were derived from genome-wide association studies involving 21,758 individuals from 13 cohorts of European descent. The outcome data on VTE, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, were derived from the FinnGen research project. The primary method used was the inverse-variance weighting method. The MR-Egger intercept test and the Cochran Q test were used to evaluate pleiotropy and heterogeneity.
    Results: Using the inverse-variance weighting method, higher serum MMP-12 levels were found to be associated with an increased risk of VTE (odds ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.07; p=0.0015). Moreover, there was a weak association between the levels of certain MMPs and VTE. Sensitivity analyses revealed no significant heterogeneity and pleiotropy in our study, and the Steiger directionality test did not reveal a significant reverse causation association.
    Conclusion: : There is a causal association between MMP-12 levels and VTE, which may have substantial implications for the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies used for VTE.

    Abstract A novel method to control the Spot robot of Boston Dynamics by Hololens 2 is proposed. This method is mainly designed for people with physical disabilities, users can control the robot's movement and robot arm without using their hands. The eye gaze tracking and head motion tracking technologies of Hololens 2 are utilized for sending control commands. The movement of the robot would follow the eye gaze and the robot arm would mimic the pose of the user's head. Through our experiment, our method is comparable with the traditional control method by joystick in both time efficiency and user experience. Demo can be found on our project webpage: https://zhangganlin.github.io/Holo-Spot-Page/index.html

    Abstract We consider a problem of coding for computing, where the decoder wishes to estimate a function of its local message and the source message at the encoder within a given distortion. We show that the rate-distortion function can be characterized through a characteristic multi-hypergraph, which simplifies the evaluation of the rate-distortion function.

    Abstract Doxorubicin (Dox) is a widely used antitumor agent with dose-dependent and cumulative cardiotoxic effects. Resveratrol (Res) is a natural non-flavonoid polyphenol that can potentially provide cardiovascular benefits. We aimed to estimate the protective effect of Res on Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and explore whether it was related to attenuating ferroptosis. We established DIC models in C57BL/6 J mice, H9C2 cardiomyoblasts, and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs). We further treated H9C2 cells with RSL3, a ferroptosis agonist, to investigate whether Res exerted protective effects through inhibiting ferroptosis. Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was applied to suppress ferroptosis. Dox treatment caused cardiac dysfunction and resulted in apparent ferroptotic damage in cardiac tissue, involving increased iron accumulation, glutathione depletion, increased expression of ferroptosis-related proteins, and decreased expression of glutathione peroxidase 4, which were alleviated by Fer-1 and Res administration. These findings were also confirmed in Dox-treated H9C2 cells and NRCMs, with Fer-1 and Res effectively attenuating Dox-induced cytotoxicity and ferroptosis. Furthermore, Res protected H9C2 cells from RSL3-induced ferroptotic cell death, and the protective effect was similar to that of Fer-1. Both Dox and RSL3 treatment increased the phosphorylation levels of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinases; however, these changes were hindered by Res. This study demonstrates that Res effectively alleviates DIC by suppressing ferroptosis possibly through modulating the MAPK signaling pathway. Our results highlight that targeting ferroptosis can be a potential cardioprotective strategy for DIC.

    Abstract Background: The CHADS
    Methods: We identified 1102 consecutive AF patients who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for the purpose of the exclusion of LAT before catheter ablation, cardioversion or left atrial appendage occlusion. The clinical, echocardiographic and laboratory characteristics of patients were collected from the electronic medical record system.
    Results: In the study, the prevalence of LAT/SEC was only 4.36%. In the multivariate logistic analysis, hypertension, left atrial enlargement, prior stroke/TIA, left ventricular dysfunction, and renal dysfunction were predictors of LAT/SEC. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that c-statistics of the CHADS

    Abstract Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly evolved as a global pandemic. Observational studies found that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) increased the likelihood of worse clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Whereas, whether VAT is causally associated with the susceptibility, hospitalization, or severity of COVID-19 remains unconfirmed. We aimed to investigate the causal associations between VAT and susceptibility, hospitalization, and severity of COVID-19.
    Methods: We applied a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to infer causal associations between VAT and COVID-19 outcomes. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms significantly associated with VAT were derived from a large-scale genome-wide association study. The random-effects inverse-variance weighted method was used as the main MR approach, complemented by three other MR methods. Additional sensitivity analyses were also performed.
    Results: Genetically predicted higher VAT mass was causally associated with higher risks of COVID-19 susceptibility [odds ratios (ORs) = 1.13; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09-1.17;
    Conclusion: This study provided genetic evidence that higher VAT mass was causally associated with higher risks of susceptibility, hospitalization, and severity of COVID-19. VAT can be a useful tool for risk assessment in the general population and COVID-19 patients, as well as an important prevention target.

    Abstract The goal of program synthesis, or code generation, is to generate executable code based on given descriptions. Recently, there has been an increasing number of studies employing reinforcement learning (RL) to improve the performance of large language models (LLMs) for code. However, current representative works either rely solely on offline frameworks, limiting the exploration of new sample spaces, or fall short in the utilization of unit test signals, not accounting for specific error locations within the code. To address these issues, we propose RLTF, i.e., Reinforcement Learning from Unit Test Feedback, a novel online RL framework with unit test feedback of multi-granularity for refining code LLMs. Our approach generates data in real-time during training and simultaneously utilizes fine-grained feedback signals to guide the model towards producing higher-quality code. Extensive experiments show that RLTF achieves state-of-the-art performance on the APPS and the MBPP benchmarks. Our code is available at: https://github.com/Zyq-scut/RLTF.

    Abstract Background: We proposed an artificial-pancreas-like algorithm (AP-A) which could automatically determine the pre-prandial insulin dose based on intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) data trajectories in multiple dose injection (MDI) therapy. We aim to determine whether pre-prandial insulin dose adjustments guided by the AP-A is as effective and safe as physician decisions.
    Methods: We performed a randomized, single-blind, clinical trial at a tertiary, referral hospital in Beijing, China. Type 2 diabetes participants were eligible if they were aged  18 years, with a glycated hemoglobin of 8.0% or higher. Eligible participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to the AP-A arm supervised by physician and the conventional physician treatment arm. The primary objective was to compare percentage time spent with sensor glucose level in 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (TIR) between the two study arms. Safety was assessed by the percentage time spent with sensor glucose level below 3.0 mmol/L (TBR).
    Results: 140 participants were screened, of whom 119 were randomly assigned to AP-A arm (n = 59) or physician arm (n = 60). The TIR achieved by the AP-A arm was statistically non-inferior compared with the control arm (72.4% (63.3-82.1) vs. 71.2% (54.9-81.4)), with a median difference of 1.33% (95% CI, -6.00 to 10.94, non-inferiority margin -7.5%). TBR was also statistically non-inferior between the AP-A and control arms (0.0% (0.0-0.0) vs. 0.0% (0.0-0.0), respectively; median difference (95% CI, 0.00% (0.00 to 0.00), non-inferiority margin 2.0%).
    Conclusions: The AP-A supported physician titration of pre-prandial insulin dosage offers non-inferior glycemic control compared with optimal physician care in type 2 diabetes.
