    Abstract YTHDF1, an N6‑methyladenosine (m6A)‑binding protein, is significantly upregulated in glioma tissues. The present study investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the regulatory effects of YTHDF1 on the viability, invasion and self‑renewal of glioma stem cells (GSCs). Glioma and normal brain tissues were collected, and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to measure the gene and protein expression levels, respectively. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation‑PCR was used to assess the m6A modification level of the target gene. Subsequently GSCs were induced, and YTHDF1 and LINC00900 gene regulation was carried out using lentiviral infection. The viability, invasion and self‑renewal of GSCs were assessed by Cell Counting Kit‑8, Transwell and sphere formation assays, respectively. Binding between YTHDF1 and LINC00900 was verified by RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull‑down assays. The targeted binding of microRNA (miR)‑1205 to the LINC00900/STAT3 3'‑UTR was verified using a luciferase reporter assay. The results revealed that YTHDF1 and LINC00900 expression levels were significantly upregulated in glioma tissues, and a high m6A modification level in LINC00900 transcripts was detected in glioma tissues. Overexpression of YTHDF1 promoted GSC viability, invasion and self‑renewal, whereas knockdown of YTHDF1 had the opposite effects. In addition, YTHDF1 maintained the stability of LINC00900 and upregulated its expression through binding to it, thereby promoting GSC viability, invasion and self‑renewal. Furthermore, LINC00900 promoted GSC viability, invasion, self‑renewal and tumor growth by regulating the miR‑1205/STAT3 axis. In conclusion, YTHDF1 promotes GSC viability and self‑renewal by regulating the LINC00900/miR‑1205/STAT3 axis.

    Abstract Aim: Cavernous sinus hemangiomas (CSHs) are hypervascular malformations and the surgical treatment is technically demanding. Although some articles have reported resection of CSHs using endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETS), most of them were encountered for a lack of preoperative strategy guidance. Herein, we reported gross total resection (GTR) of intrasellar CSHs in two patients undergoing strategical EETS and compared EETS with frontotemporal craniotomy (FC) and stereotactic radiosurgery by literature review.
    Material and methods: Two patients with CSHs who underwent EETS were reported. The literature review was conducted to exhaust studies that reported surgical treatment for CSHs. The tumor resection rate, and the postoperative short-term and long-term newly-developed or deteriorative cranial-nerve function rates were extracted.
    Results: GTR was achieved with no postoperative complications in the two cases. Nine articles reported 14 cases undergoing EETS for CSHs and twenty-three articles reported 195 cases undergoing FC for CSHs. The GTR rates of EETS and FC were 57.14% (8/14) and 78.97% (154/195) respectively. The postoperative short-term and long-term newly-developed or deteriorative cranial-nerve function rates were 0% (0/7) and 0% (0/6) for the EETS group, and 57% (57/100) and 18.18% (18/99) for the FC group. According to the previous meta-analysis, stereotactic radiosurgery resulted in remarkable tumor shrinkage in 67.80% (40/59) of patients and partial shrinkage in 25.42% of patients.
    Discussion: The results showed that the intrasellar type of CSHs could be removed safely by EETS without crossing the nerves in the CS.

    Abstract Hydrodynamic conditions play a crucial role in governing the fate, transport, and risks of metal elements. However, the contribution of hydrodynamic conditions to the fate and transport of heavy metals among water, sediment, and biofilm phases is poorly understood. In our study, we conducted experiments in controlled hydrodynamic conditions using a total of 6 two-phase and 9 three-phase mesocosms consisting of water, biofilm, and sediment. We also measured Cd (cadmium) specification in different phases to assess how hydrodynamic forces control Cd bioavailability. We found that turbulent flow destroyed the surface morphology of the biofilm and significantly decreased the content of extracellular polymeric substances (p < 0.05). This led to a decrease in the biofilm's adsorption capacity for Cd, with the maximum adsorption capacity (0.124 mg/g) being one-tenth of that under static conditions (1.256 mg/g). The Cd chemical forms in the biofilm and sediment were significantly different, with the highest amount of Cd in the biofilm being acid-exchangeable, accounting for up to 95.1% of the total Cd content. Cd was more easily released in the biofilm due to its weak binding state, while Cd in the sediment existed in more stable chemical forms. Hydrodynamic conditions altered the migration behavior and distribution characteristics of Cd in the system by changing the adsorption capacity of the biofilm and sediment for Cd. Cd mobility increased in laminar flow but decreased in turbulent flow. These results enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that control the mobility and bioavailability of metals in aquatic environments with varying hydrodynamic conditions.

    Abstract Many viruses, including foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), can promote the degradation of host proteins through macroautophagy/autophagy, thereby promoting viral replication. However, the regulatory mechanism between autophagy and innate immune responses is not fully understood during FMDV infection. Here, we found that the host GTPBP4/NOG1 (GTP binding protein 4) is a negative regulator of innate immune responses. GTPBP4 deficiency promotes the antiviral innate immune response, resulting in the ability of GTPBP4 to promote FMDV replication. Meanwhile, GTPBP4-deficient mice are more resistant to FMDV infection. To antagonize the host's antiviral immunity, FMDV structural protein VP1 promotes the expression of GTPBP4, and the 209th site of VP1 is responsible for this effect. Mechanically, FMDV VP1 promotes autophagy during virus infection and interacts with and degrades YTHDF2 (YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F2) in an AKT-MTOR-dependent autophagy pathway, resulting in an increase in

    Abstract The process of autophagy, a conservative evolutionary mechanism, is responsible for the removal of surplus and undesirable cytoplasmic components, thereby ensuring cellular homeostasis. Autophagy exhibits a remarkable level of selectivity by employing a multitude of cargo receptors that possess the ability to bind both ubiquitinated cargoes and autophagosomes. In the context of viral infections, selective autophagy plays a crucial role in regulating the innate immune system. Notably, numerous viruses have developed strategies to counteract, evade, or exploit the antiviral effects of selective autophagy. This review encompasses the latest research progress of selective autophagy in regulating innate immunity and virus infectious.

    Abstract Background: Reconstruction of extensive defects remains challenging for plastic surgeons. We report our experience with extensive defect reconstruction using multiple perforator propeller flaps and provide a systematic review of the literature on this approach.
    Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent defect reconstruction with multiple perforator propeller flaps from 2014 to 2021. A systematic review was conducted by retrieving studies on reconstructive strategy from PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Scopus published before December 1, 2022.
    Results: Thirty patients underwent defect reconstruction using 65 perforator propeller flaps. The posterior trunk (66.7%) was the most common site of defects. Complete flap survival was achieved in 61 flaps (93.8%). Partial necrosis of four flaps in three patients and venous congestion of one flap resulted in an overall complication rate of 13.3%. One flap experienced distal tip necrosis in 21 patients undergoing posterior trunk or perineal defect reconstruction, leading to an overall complication rate of 4.7%. Other complications were observed during the reconstruction of defects in the lower extremities (one of five patients) and anterior trunk (two of four patients). In the systematic review, 11 articles involving 74 patients were identified. The commonly reported locations of the defects were the perineum (55.4%) and posterior trunk (33.8%). Flap-related complications included venous congestion, and no flaps were lost.
    Conclusions: This study on the use of multiple perforator propeller flaps in a jigsaw puzzle approach demonstrated that the method can be effectively used for extensive posterior trunk and perineal defect reconstruction.

    Abstract (1) Background: In digital-technology-assisted nasal defect reconstruction methods, a crucial step involves utilizing computer-aided design to virtually reconstruct the nasal defect's complete morphology. However, current digital methods for virtual nasal defect reconstruction have yet to achieve efficient, precise, and personalized outcomes. In this research paper, we propose a novel approach for reconstructing external nasal defects based on the Facial Mesh Generation Network (FMGen-Net), aiming to enhance the levels of automation and personalization in virtual reconstruction. (2) Methods: We collected data from 400 3D scans of faces with normal morphology and combined the structured 3D face template and the Meshmonk non-rigid registration algorithm to construct a structured 3D facial dataset for training FMGen-Net. Guided by defective facial data, the trained FMGen-Net automatically generated an intact 3D face that was similar to the defective face, and maintained a consistent spatial position. This intact 3D face served as the 3D target reference face (3D-TRF) for nasal defect reconstruction. The reconstructed nasal data were extracted from the 3D-TRF based on the defective area using reverse engineering software. The '3D surface deviation' between the reconstructed nose and the original nose was calculated to evaluate the effect of 3D morphological restoration of the nasal defects. (3) Results: In the simulation experiment of 20 cases involving full nasal defect reconstruction, the '3D surface deviation' between the reconstructed nasal data and the original nasal data was 1.45 ± 0.24 mm. The reconstructed nasal data, constructed from the personalized 3D-TRF, accurately reconstructed the anatomical morphology of nasal defects. (4) Conclusions: This paper proposes a novel method for the virtual reconstruction of external nasal defects based on the FMGen-Net model, achieving the automated and personalized construction of the 3D-TRF and preliminarily demonstrating promising clinical application potential.

    Abstract Objectives: This study proposes a chairside digital design and manufacturing method for band and loop space maintainers and preliminarily validates its clinical feasibility.
    Methods: Clinical cases of 10 children requiring space maintenance caused by premature loss of primary teeth were collected. Intraoral scan data of the affected children were also collected to establish digital models of the missing teeth. Using a pediatric band and loop space maintainer design software developed by our research team, a rapid personalized design of band and loop structures was achieved, and a digital model of an integrated band and loop space maintainer was ultimately generated. A chairside space maintainer was manufactured through metal computer numerical control machining for the experimental group, whereas metal 3D printing in the dental laboratory was used for the control group. A model fitting assessment was conducted for the space maintainers of both groups, and senior pediatric dental experts were invited to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the space maintainers with regard to fit and stability using the visual analogue scale scoring system. Statistical analysis was also performed.
    Results: The time spent in designing and manufacturing the 10 space maintainers of the experimental group was all less than 1 h. Statistical analysis of expert ratings showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group with regard to fit and stability. Both types of space maintainers met clinical requirements.
    Conclusions: The chairside digital design and manufacturing method for pediatric band and loop space maintainers proposed in this study can achieve same-day fitting of space maintainers at the first appointment, demonstrating good clinical feasibility and significant potential for clinical application.
