    Abstract L-asparaginase (L-ASNase, E.C.3.5.1.1) could effectively inhibit the formation of acrylamide (AA) by hydrolyzing the AA precursor L-asparagine. However, most of the L-ASNases showed a relatively weak thermostability, posing a big threat on the application of enzyme at high processing temperatures. Here, the recombinant L-ASNase from mesophilic bacteria Limosilactobacillus secaliphilus was identified for the first time. The recombinant enzyme exhibited its optimal activity at pH 8.0 and 60 ℃. Additionally, the thermostability of L. secaliphilus L-ASNase was enhanced by site-directed mutagenesis after multiple sequence alignment. Ten mutants were reasonably constructed, among which the single-point mutants L24Y, S55T, and V155S showed more than 1 ℃ elevated T

    Abstract Wind corridors are expected to be effective in alleviating the canopy urban heat island effect and air pollution. However, investigations on airflow characteristics within wind corridors, especially the influences of structural factors, are still limited. This current work performed numerical simulations on a group of idealised wind corridor models with different aspect ratios (ARs) and varying heights and/or widths along the corridors. Simulations revealed that the AR value had a vital influence on the wind speed, and an AR value of 0.1 facilitated the best ventilation conditions within the wind corridor. Structural variations along the corridor have a critical influence on ventilation, where the width contraction (contraction structure) and high-rise buildings (protrusion structure) would considerably weaken the wind speed within the corridors. The results suggested that wider and step-up structural design along the corridor should be encouraged in urban wind corridor planning, which would be helpful in promoting ventilation efficiency; but contraction structures should be prevented for primary wind corridor design.

    Abstract The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are crucial for the conversion of clean energy. Recently, dual-metal-site catalysts (DMSCs) have gained much attention due to their high atom utilization, stronger stability, and better catalytic performance. An advanced method that combines density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML) has been employed in this study to investigate the adsorption free energies of adsorbates on hundreds of potential catalysts, with the aim of screening for catalysts that are highly active for the ORR and OER. The result of this study is that 30 DMSCs with ORR activity superior to Pt, 10 DMSCs with OER activity superior to RuO

    Abstract Objectives: To study the stress distribution and bonding performance in posterior occlusal veneers and tooth bodies under different preparation forms and materials.
    Methods: An isolated lower right first molar was prepared with non-retention type (type A), cavity-retained type (type B), and encircling-retention type (type C) forms. MicroCT images of the tooth were obtained and digitally converted into three-dimensional solid models. Three-dimensional models of veneers for the three abutment teeth were designed, fabricated, and divided into nine models (A
    Results: The B
    Conclusions: The cavity-retained type better protected the veneers and dental tissues than the non-retention and encircling-retention types under lateral forces. E.max CAD material, with a high elastic modulus, reduced the stress transmitted to the remaining dental tissues. Lava Ultimate exhibited the best bonding performance.

    Abstract Microbial nitrate reduction processes involve two competing pathways: denitrification (DEN) and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA). This study investigated the distribution of DNRA in a sole sulfur-driven nitrogen conversion process using a laboratory-scale sequencing biofilm batch reactor (SBBR) through a series of batch tests with varying sulfide/nitrate (S/N) ratios. The results showed that DNRA became more dominant in the sulfide-oxidizing autotrophic denitrification (SOAD) process as the S/N ratio increased to 1.5:1, 1.7:1, and 2:1, reaching a peak of 35.3% at the S/N ratio of 1.5:1. Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) patterns demonstrated distinct inflection points for nitrate and nitrite consumption under the SOAD-only conditions, whereas these points overlapped when DNRA coexisted with SOAD. Analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA identified Ignavibacterium, Hydrogenophaga, and Geobacter as the dominant genera responsible for DNRA during autotrophic nitrate reduction. The findings of the DNRA divergence investigation provided valuable insights into enhancing biological nitrogen removal processes, particularly when coupled with the anammox.

    Abstract Background: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) such as minimally invasive chevron osteotomy and Akin osteotomy (MICA) has become popular in the treatment of hallux valgus. However, how to correct three-dimensional deformities in hallux valgus effectively and simply in MICA is still difficult. Special equipment is required in MICA as has been reported before. It is meaningful and necessary to reduce the reliance on special equipment in MICA.
    Methods: From January 2021 to July 2022, patients with mild or moderate hallux valgus were treated with a joy-stick assistant three-dimensional modified technique (Joy-stick 3D technique) of MIS. VAS, AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP scores, hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) were measured pre- and postoperatively at the last follow-up of at least 6 months. Scores and radiologic angles were compared using paired sample t-test.
    Results: A total of 36 cases were included. HVA, IMA, and DMAA were (22.3 ± 6.1)°, (14.0 ± 3.2)°, and (8.9 ± 3.2)° preoperatively, and decreased to (7.0 ± 1.8)°, (3.7 ± 1.0)°, and (3.3 ± 1.1)° postoperatively. VAS decreased from 4.3 ± 1.7 to 0.7 ± 0.7. AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP scores improved from 68.6 ± 7.6 to 92.9 ± 6.1. Comparing mild and moderate cases, though HVA, IMA, and DMAA were significantly different preoperatively, the angles became statistically similar after surgery.
    Conclusions: A joy-stick assistant three-dimensional modified technique is proposed to control the three-dimensional position of the metatarsal head and to reduce dependence on special tools. Mild and moderate hallux valgus deformities are effectively corrected using Joy-stick 3D technique.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze the risk factors associated with colorectal adenoma and to investigate the associations of metabolism-related fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with obesity, colorectal adenoma and high-risk adenoma.
    Methods: A total of 1395 subjects were enrolled and divided into a colorectal adenoma group (593 subjects) and a control group (802 subjects) according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The characteristics of patients in the colorectal adenoma group and the control group were compared by the chi-square test. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to analyze independent risk factors and associations with different MAFLD subtypes. Colorectal adenoma characteristics and the proportion of patients with high-risk colorectal adenoma were also compared.
    Results: High-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) was significantly lower in patients in the colorectal adenoma group than in those in the control group (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age, obesity status, central obesity status, hypertension status, diabetes status, fatty liver status, smoking history, BMI, waist circumference, triglyceride level, HDL-C level, fasting blood glucose level and degree of hepatic steatosis were all independent risk factors for colorectal adenoma. Notably, MAFLD was associated with a significantly increased risk of colorectal adenoma in patients with central obesity (P < 0.001). In addition, obesity, central obesity, diabetes, fatty liver and degree of hepatic steatosis were all shown to be independent risk factors for high-risk colorectal adenoma. In addition, a greater proportion of MAFLD patients with central obesity than those without central obesity had high-risk colorectal adenoma.
    Conclusion: MAFLD and central obesity are independently associated with the development of colorectal adenoma. MAFLD with central obesity is associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenoma and high-risk adenoma.
