    Abstract Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease that arises from a dynamic interplay between genetics and environmental triggers. The advent of sophisticated genomics technology has catalyzed a shift in our understanding of disease etiology, spotlighting the pivotal role of non-coding DNA variants in SLE pathogenesis. In this review, we present a comprehensive examination of the non-coding variants associated with SLE, shedding light on their role in influencing disease risk and progression. We discuss the latest methodological advancements that have been instrumental in the identification and functional characterization of these genomic elements, with a special focus on the transformative power of CRISPR-based gene-editing technologies. Additionally, the review probes into the therapeutic opportunities that arise from modulating non-coding regions associated with SLE. Through an exploration of the complex network of non-coding DNA, this review aspires to decode the genetic puzzle of SLE and set the stage for groundbreaking gene-based therapeutic interventions and the advancement of precision medicine strategies tailored to SLE management.

    Abstract Mural paintings, as the main components of painted cultural relics, have essential research value and historical significance. Due to their age, murals are easily damaged. Obtaining intact sketches is the first step in the conservation and restoration of murals. However, sketch extraction often suffers from problems such as loss of details, too thick lines, or noise interference. To overcome these problems, a mural sketch extraction method based on image enhancement and edge detection is proposed. The experiments utilize Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and bilateral filtering to enhance the mural images. This can enhance the edge features while suppressing the noise generated by over-enhancement. Finally, we extract the refined sketch of the mural using the Laplacian Edge with fine noise remover (FNR). The experimental results show that this method is superior to other methods in terms of visual effect and related indexes, and it can extract the complex line regions of the mural.

    Abstract Objective: Diffusion-weighted imaging [DWI] is commonly detected after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage [sICH] and is associated with poor functional outcomes. However, the etiology and significance of DWI lesions remain unclear. Thus, our study aimed to explore the prevalence and risk factors of acute ischemic lesions in sICH and discussed the possible mechanisms.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of a consecutive cohort of 408 patients from June 2013 to October 2019 with sICH, who had brain computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] within 14 days of symptoms onset. Acute ischemic lesions were assessed on MRI using DWI] lesions. We compared the clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with and without DWI lesions. The data were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
    Results: Among the enrolled 408 patients, the mean age was 56.8±14.5 years, 68 [16.7%] of them had been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus [DM]. DWI lesions were observed in 89 [21.8%] patients, and most of them had a history of lacunar infarctions, which were located in cortical or subcortical. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, DM [odds ratio [OR] 3.962, p <0.001], severe deep white matter hypertensities [DWMH] [OR 2.463, p =0.001] and severe centrum semiovale enlarged perivascular spaces [CSO-EPVS] [OR 2.679, p =0.001] were independently associated with the presence of DWI lesions.
    Conclusion: In our cohort, we found DM, severe DWMH and severe CSO-EPVS were the independent risk factors in sICH patients with DWI lesions.

    Abstract Monitoring dynamics of airborne fungal species and controlling of harmful ones are of vital importance to conservation of cultural relics. However, the evaluation of air quality and the community structure characteristics of microorganisms, especially fungi, in the atmosphere of archives is in a stage of continuous exploration though more than 4,000 archives were constructed in China. Seventy-two air samples were collected in this study under different spatial and weather conditions from the archives of Kunming Medical University, located in the Kunming metropolitan area, Yunnan province, southwestern China. A total of 22 airborne fungal classes, 160 genera and 699 ASVs were identified, the species diversity is on the rise with the strengthening of air circulation with the outside space, and thus the intensive energy metabolism and activity were found in the spaces with window and sunny weather, except for the higher lipid synthesis of indoor samples than that of outdoor ones. Furthermore, there were significant differences in fungal community composition and abundance between sunny and rainy weathers. A considerable number of species have been identified as indicator in various environmental and weather conditions of the archives, and temperature and humidity were thought to have significant correlations with the abundance of these species. Meanwhile, Cladosporium and Alternaria were the dominant genera here, which may pose a threat to the health of archive professionals. Therefore, monitoring and controlling the growth of these fungal species is crucial for both conservation of paper records and health of archive professionals.

    Abstract Background: Astroviruses (AstVs) are single-stranded RNA viruses that have been detected in a wide range of mammals and birds. They are associated with numerous interspecies transmissions and viral recombination events, posing a threat to human and animal health.
    Methods: We collected 1,333 samples from wild animals, including bats, rodents, wild boars, and birds, from various states and cities in the Yunnan Province, China, between 2020 and 2023 to investigate the presence of AstVs. AstVs were detected using a polymerase chain reaction targeting the RdRp gene. Finally, the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis software was used to construct the phylogenetic tree.
    Results: The overall positivity rate for AstVs was 7.12% in four species, indicating their widespread occurrence in the region. High genetic diversity among AstVs was observed in different animal species, suggesting the potential for interspecies transmission, particularly among rodents and birds. Additionally, we identified a novel AstV strain and, for the first time, provided information on the presence of bastroviruses in Yunnan, China.
    Conclusions: The widespread distribution and high genetic diversity of AstVs, along with the observed potential for interspecies transmission, highlight the importance of further investigation and surveillance in the region. The findings emphasize the need for increased attention to AstVs and their potential impact on human and animal health in Yunnan and other regions.

    Abstract Dye pollution is becoming increasingly severe. This study used the Schiff base reaction to synthesize a polyaromatic ring covalent organic polymer material with amide bonds and high electronegativity named SLEL-9 to adsorb Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB). SLEL-9 was characterized by Fourier transform infra-red spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectra, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), zeta potential analysis, and other techniques. It was found that SLEL-9 material contains C-C, CN, C-N, and CO. SLEL-9 had a zeta potential of about -45 mV under neutral conditions, which proved that the material had been synthesized successfully. The BET and Langmuir surface areas of SLEL-9 were 35.187 m

    Abstract Many zoonotic disease emergencies are associated with RNA viruses in rodents that substantially impact public health. With the widespread application of meta-genomics and meta-transcriptomics for virus discovery over the last decade, viral sequences deposited in public databases have expanded rapidly, and the number of novel viruses discovered in rodents has increased. As important reservoirs of zoonotic viruses, rodents have attracted increasing attention for the risk of potential spillover of rodent-borne viruses. However, knowledge of rodent viral diversity and the major factors contributing to the risk of zoonotic epidemic outbreaks remains limited. Therefore, this study analyzes the diversity and composition of rodent RNA viruses using virus records from the Database of Rodent-associated Viruses (DRodVir/ZOVER), which covers the published literatures and records in GenBank database, reviews the main rodent RNA virus-induced human infectious diseases, and discusses potential challenges in this field.
