Abstract	Introduction: Most foreign bodies (FBs) can spontaneously pass through the gastrointestinal tract. Sharp FBs are believed to be able to puncture any part of the gastrointestinal tract, causing perforation and potentially secondary damage to adjacent organs. Case description: A 44-year-old man complained of having persistent dull pain in the perianal region. He was diagnosed with a toothpick impacted into the wall of the lower rectum after accepting a digital rectal examination of the lower rectum and a pelvic computed tomography (CT). The surgeon extracted the FB using vascular forceps guided by the operator's index finger. The patient was discharged after intravenous ceftriaxone was given for 6 days. A follow-up pelvic CT performed 2 weeks after surgery revealed that the perirectal fat and muscles had already normalized. Conclusion: A systematic review of relevant literature from the past decade was performed to summarize the imaging features of an orally ingested toothpick perforating the gastrointestinal tract. The location of abdominal pain is an important clue for the diagnosis of toothpick perforation, and a CT examination is recommended as the first option for the detection of an ingested toothpick. Determining the location of the toothpick perforation and assessing the severity of local inflammation are important bases for the selection of treatment.

Abstract	Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is a bag-like pharyngeal pouch that protrudes to the outside of the pharynx. It is thought to be an acquired disease that occurs following the dysfunction of laryngopharynx muscle, and certain body shapes may be predisposed to this condition. We report a 56-year-old female of slim build with ZD. Computed tomography scanning revealed a hypodense lesion on the left posterior side of her upper esophagus that was filled with air and had no obvious wall. To verify this finding, a barium esophagogram was carried out which showed a round pouch at the level of the 6th cervical vertebral body that communicated with the esophagus through a narrow neck. ZD was subsequently confirmed by endoscopy. These findings provide further evidence in support of a body shape predisposition for ZD.

Abstract	Abstract Solar‐driven evaporation has been a promising desalination method for treating concentrated seawater, since it is cost‐effectiveness, simplicity, and environmentally friendly. However, this method faces an unavoidable long‐term problem that the salt generated in the evaporation processes would affect and hinder its evaporation efficiency. Because the salt inevitably crystallizes on the surface of photothermal evaporation materials, and this crystallization process increases with time to impair the material area of the sunlight absorption and evaporation. Here, we show a ternary hierarchical structure based solar‐driven evaporator that reduces the evaporation material surface coverage of the salt to get long‐lasting concentrated brine treatment capacity. This evaporator is constructed by plugging vertically arranged hollow tube arrays across a porous plate. The top, middle, and bottom of the evaporator respectively serve as the salt crystallization site, the evaporation site, and the light absorption site. Meanwhile, the self‐cleaning of the evaporator can be achieved by back diffusion of the crystallized salts. As a result, this efficient and durable evaporator exhibits freshwater production of 10.21 kg/(m2·day) in outdoor experiment in the treatment of the concentrated natural seawater (21.3 wt%).

Abstract	Background: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of split-bolus single-phase dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) with virtual non-contrast computed tomography (VNCT) compared to three-phase computed tomography (CT) urography in patients with urinary calculi, and to examine the performance of split-bolus single-phase DECT when reducing the effective dose. Methods: A total of 48 patients with abdominal pain or hematuria suggestive of unilateral urinary calculi were enrolled and randomly divided into the experimental and control groups, with 24 cases in each group. Patients in the experimental group underwent split-bolus single-phase DECT to obtain a mixed nephrographic excretory phase. Patients in the control group accepted a single-bolus three-phase CT urography scan (non-contrast, nephrographic phase, and excretory phase). The CT values and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of 7 segments of the urinary tract were measured and compared between the two groups by using the Mann-Whitney U test. The dose-length product (DLP) and effective dose of each patient were compared between the two groups using an independent Results: Among all 48 patients, 35 calculi were detected in the experimental group (n=24), and 47 calculi were detected in the control group (n=24). There was no significant difference between the two groups in both CT value measurements and the CNR. The mean DLP and mean effective dose of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group, and the effective dose in the experimental group was decreased by 40% compared with the control group. Conclusions: The application of DECT combined with split-bolus nephrographic excretory phase CT urography can reveal the urinary calculi covered by a contrast medium and also reduce the effective dose exposure to patients.

Abstract	Background: Lung cancer associated with cystic airspace is a rare disease, and the imaging understanding of lung cancer with cystic cavity is still unclear. Little is known in the literature on whether cystic lung cancer is caused by emphysema or ruptured bullae. Case reports: We report the case of a 50-year-old female patient after finishing a business trip in November 2021, when another chest CT demonstrated an unexpected reduction in the cyst, with a solid mural nodule on the posterior wall. The airspace of the cyst is only about 13 mm × 12 mm × 6 mm in size. The size of the mural nodule in the posterior wall is about 10 mm × 6 mm × 5 mm. The patient felt anxious due to suspicion of lung cancer. 2.5 months after the last chest CT, she accepted minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery on the posterior basal segment of the left lower lobe. The postoperative pathology showed benign lesions. Conclusion: For radiologists, it is important to recognize the process from lung cysts or bullae to LC-CAS, especially the morphological changes of the cyst airspace and the cyst wall, in order to identify the malignant features of lung cysts in time.

Abstract	Deformation of leaf springs leads to axis drift and warping of traditional cross-spring flexure hinges, which result in rotation errors. To restrain the axis drift and warping, a design idea of reverse parallel connection was proposed by combining the invention principles of "merging," "symmetry," "the other way round," and "another dimension." Based on the idea, the Reverse Parallel Multiple-Cross-Spring (RPMCS) flexure hinge without warping was designed. Taking the RPMCS-3 flexure hinge as an example, experimental and simulation results of the flexure hinge consistently demonstrate that the rotational stiffness remains nearly constant under driving torque, and the relative error is substantially stabilized within 10%. In addition, the rotation accuracy of quasi-zero axis drift under torque is demonstrated by simulation results. Furthermore, the anti-interference performance of rotational stiffness and rotation accuracy is studied, which provides a reference for analyzing the performance and stability of the flexure hinge under disturbances. The rotational performance of the flexure hinge is obviously higher than other flexure hinges that existed.

Abstract	Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease. Dysregulated microRNA (miRNA) expressions are implicated in OA progression. Consequently, the current study set out to investigate the mechanism of miR-140-5p in OA cartilage injury. Firstly, the murine and cell models of OA were established, and cartilage tissues of OA mice were observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining and safranin O staining. Chondrocyte pyroptosis was further assessed using immunohistochemical and Calcein-AM/PI staining. The levels of gasdermin-D (GSDMD)-N, cleaved caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18 in cartilage tissues and cells were determined using Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The targeting relationship between miR-140-5p and cathepsin B (CTSB) was verified using a dual-luciferase assay. Moreover, the binding of CTSB and Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) was detected using co-immunoprecipitation assay. Lastly, the effects of NLRP3 activation and CTSB overexpression on chondrocyte pyroptosis were documented. It was found that OA induction aggravated cartilage tissue injury and enhanced chondrocyte pyroptosis. miR-140-5p was poorly-expressed in OA models, and miR-140-5p over-expression alleviated chondrocyte pyroptosis, as evidenced by decreased GSDMD-N, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels. miR-140-5p targeted the CTSB gene, whereas CTSB further bound to NLRP3 and activated the NLRP3 inflammasome. Additionally, CTSB over-expression or NLRP3 activation reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-140-5p on chondrocyte pyroptosis. Collectively, our findings revealed that miR-140-5p repressed chondrocyte pyroptosis and alleviated OA cartilage injury

Abstract	Poland syndrome is a rare congenital developmental deformity characterized by unilateral agenesis or hypoplasia of thoracic wall soft tissue. We report two adult cases of Poland syndrome detected by computed tomography (CT) images. CT images of the two cases depicted an asymmetric chest wall with the absence of a breast and agenesis of the pectoralis muscles. A physical examination of case 1 showed a thin right chest wall with depression of the right nipple region. Hand deformities were also observed, including brachydactyly and syndactyly. In case 2, hand deformities were not found in a physical examination. Using multi-planar reconstruction, the size, position, origin, and termination of bilateral pectoral muscles could be compared symmetrically. For patients with Poland syndrome, a timely diagnosis and treatment are important. The use of chest CT in clinical practice could play an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment of Poland syndrome.
