    Abstract Background: Pheromones have unique advantages for pest control. Current aphid pheromone research focuses on alarm and sex pheromones. However, practical applications are limited so far, as (E)-β-farnesene has only been investigated to a small extent as an alarm pheromone and only male aphids are targeted by sex pheromones. Previous literature reports electrophysiological responses and repellent behavior of asexual aphids to nepetalactone (1B), therefore our objective was to modify nepetalactone's structure to identify key fragments responsible for repellent effects, as guidance for subsequent modifications and further investigation.
    Results: In this study, seven derivatives were designed and synthesized based on nepetalactol (1A) and nepetalactone (1B) as lead compounds. Free-choice tests, conducted using cowpea aphids (Aphis craccivora), revealed that the lactone moiety was crucial for the repellent activity, and the removal of the carbonyl group eliminated the repelling effect. Compound (±)1I, an analogue of nepetalactone (1B), demonstrated a significantly higher repellent value than nepetalactone (1B) at three different concentrations, and even at 0.1 mg/mL it maintained a considerable repellent effect (26.5%). Electrostatic potential and density functional theory calculations supported the importance of the carbonyl group for the repellent effects.
    Conclusion: The newly discovered para-pheromone (±)1I shows improved repellent effects and potential for development as a novel biological control agent. Based on our innovative findings, analogues with improved efficacy and properties can be designed and prepared. Our research contributes to understanding the effects of structural modifications on pheromone activity and properties, which is crucial for exploring novel pheromone-based products for crop protection. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract In recent years, sentential relation extraction has made remarkable progress with text and knowledge graphs (KGs). However, existing architectures ignore the valuable information contained in relationship labels, which KGs provide and can complement the model with additional signals and prior knowledge. To address this limitation, we propose a neural architecture that leverages knowledgeable labels to enhance sentential relation extraction. We name our proposed method knowledge label-aware sensitive relation extraction (KLA-SRE). To achieve this, we combine pre-trained static knowledge graph embeddings with learned semantic embeddings from other tokens to efficiently represent relation labels. By combining static pre-trained graph embeddings with learned word embeddings, we mitigate the inconsistency between predicted relations and given entities. Experimental results on various relation extraction benchmarks in different fields show that knowledge labels improve the F1 score by 1.6% and 1.1% on average over the baseline on standard- and minority-shot benchmarks, respectively.

    Abstract At present, no study has established a survival prediction model for non-metastatic primary malignant bone tumors of the spine (PMBS) patients. The clinical features and prognostic limitations of PMBS patients still require further exploration. Data on patients with non-metastatic PBMS from 2004 to 2015 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Multivariate regression analysis using Cox, Best-subset and Lasso regression methods was performed to identify the best combination of independent predictors. Then two nomograms were structured based on these factors for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). The accuracy and applicability of the nomograms were assessed by area under the curve (AUC) values, calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: The C-index indicated that the nomograms of OS (C-index 0.753) and CSS (C-index 0.812) had good discriminative power. The calibration curve displays a great match between the model's predictions and actual observations. DCA curves show our models for OS (range: 0.09-0.741) and CSS (range: 0.075-0.580) have clinical value within a specific threshold probability range compared with the two extreme cases. Two nomograms and web-based survival calculators based on established clinical characteristics was developed for OS and CSS. These can provide a reference for clinicians to formulate treatment plans for patients.

    Abstract Background: The early diagnosis of sepsis is hampered by the lack of reliable laboratory measures. There is growing evidence that presepsin and Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) are promising biomarkers in the diagnosis of sepsis. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the diagnostic value of MR-proADM and presepsin in sepsis patients.
    Methods: We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, China national knowledge infrastructure, and Wanfang up to 22th July, 2022, for studies evaluating the diagnosis performance of presepsin and MR-proADM in adult sepsis patients. Risk of bias was assessed using quadas-2. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were calculated using bivariate meta-analysis. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were used to find source of heterogeneity.
    Results: A total of 40 studies were eventually selected for inclusion in this meta-analysis, including 33 for presepsin and seven for MR-proADM. Presepsin had a sensitivity of 0.86 (0.82-0.90), a specificity of 0.79 (0.71-0.85), and an AUC of 0.90 (0.87-0.92). The sensitivity of MR-proADM was 0.84 (0.78-0.88), specificity was 0.86 (0.79-0.91), and AUC was 0.91 (0.88-0.93). The profile of control group, population, and standard reference may be potential sources of heterogeneity.
    Conclusions: This meta-analysis demonstrated that presepsin and MR-proADM exhibited high accuracy (AUC ≥ 0.90) in the diagnosis of sepsis in adults, with MR-proADM showing significantly higher accuracy than presepsin.

    Abstract Immune infiltration plays a crucial role in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). In this study, we explored the immune microenvironment of IDD through single-cell bioinformatics analysis. Three single-cell datasets were integrated into this study. Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) were divided into subgroups based on characteristic genes, and the role of each subgroup in the IDD process was analyzed through pseudo-time trajectory analysis. The hub genes were obtained using hdWGCNA, further identified by bulk datasets and pseudo-time sequence. The expression of the hub genes defined the NPCs related to immune infiltration, and the interaction between these NPCs and immunocytes was explored. The NPCs were divided into four subgroups: reserve NPCs, HCL-NPCs, response NPCs, and support NPCs, which, respectively, dominate the four processes of IDD: non, mild, moderate, and severe degeneration. SPP1 and ICAM1 were identified as the nucleus pulposus immune infiltration hub genes. Macrophages and myelocytes played pro-inflammatory roles in the SPP1-ICAM both-up NPC group through the SPP1-CD44 pathway and ICAM1-ITGB2 ligand-receptor pathway, respectively. At the same time, both-up NPCs sought self-help inflammation remission from neutrophils through the ANXA1-FPR1 pathway. The systematic analysis of the differentiation and immune infiltration landscapes helps to understand IDD's overall development process. Our data suggest that SPP1 and ICAM1 may be new targets for the treatment of inflammatory infiltration in IDD.

    Abstract Background: Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRCC) is a rare and highly malignant disease with a poor prognosis. To assess the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with GSRCC, prognostic nomograms were developed and validated using common clinical factors.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with GSRCC between 2011 and 2018 from the National Cancer Center (n = 1453) and SEER databases (n = 2745). Prognostic nomograms were established by identifying independent prognostic factors using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The calibration curve and C-index were used to assess the predictions. The clinical usefulness of the survival prediction model was further evaluated using the DCA and ROC curves. The models were internally validated in the training cohort and externally validated in the validation cohort. Two web servers were created to make the nomogram easier to use.
    Results: Patients with GSRCC were divided into training (
    Conclusion: We developed web-based dynamic nomograms utilizing six independent prognostic variables that assist physicians in estimating the OS and CSS of patients with GSRCC.

    Abstract Erhualian pigs exhibit one of the highest reproductive rates globally, and cryptorchidism is a crucial factor affecting reproductive abilities of boars. This investigation focused on cryptorchid tissues from Erhualian pigs, where the histological structure of cryptorchidism was observed using specialized staining. In addition, protein expression of P53/NF-κB in cryptorchid tissues was assessed using Western blot and immunohistochemistry. In comparison to normal Erhualian testes, Masson's trichrome staining indicated a reduction in collagen fibers in the connective tissue and around the basal membrane of the seminiferous tubules in cryptorchid testes. Moreover, collagen fiber distribution was observed to be disordered. Verhoeff Van Gieson (EVG) and argyrophilic staining demonstrated brownish-black granular nucleoli organized regions in mesenchymal cells and germ cells. When compared to normal testicles, the convoluted seminiferous tubules of cryptorchids exhibited a significantly reduced number and diameter (
