    Abstract Professor Zhaoli Shen, Emeritus Professor in the China University of Geosciences and Foreign Academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, was one of the greatest pioneers in hydrogeochemical studies in China and beyond. He left us forever on April 4, 2020, at the age of 88. In this Zhaoli Shen Tribute Issue, twenty-three submissions were accepted which focus on hydrobiogeochemistry of redox-sensitive components in groundwater systems and can be classified into five themes: (1) Interaction among water, gas, rock, and microbes in aquifer systems; (2) Natural organic matter and its role in redox-sensitive component mobility; (3) Isotopic signatures of redox-sensitive component sources and biogeochemical processes; (4) Roles of hydrogeochemical and hydrogeological processes in the distribution of redox-sensitive components; and (5) Removal of redox-sensitive contaminants. This special issue thus highlights the importance of hydrobiogeochemical processes in controlling the cycling of redox-sensitive elements in aquifer systems.

    Abstract The construction of the stratum corneum (SC) is crucial to the problems of transdermal drug delivery. SC consists of the keratinocyte layers and the lipid matrix surrounding it. Among them, the lipid matrix is the barrier for many exogenous molecules, mainly composed of ceramides (CERs), free fatty acids (FFA), and cholesterol (CHOL). In this work, we developed single-component (CERs, CER-NS, and CER-EOS) and six three-component models, and each model was simulated by using the GROMOS-54A7 force field. Short-period phase (SPP) and long-period phase (LPP) systems were established separately, and area per lipid (APL), thickness, order of carbon chain (S

    Abstract This study examined whether the perceived importance of exercise in cancer prevention was related to physical activity and sedentary behavior in older adults, who are the most vulnerable to cancer and the least active among all age groups. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with 1,308 respondents (≥ 50 years) from the cycle 2 of the 2018 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). 70.23% of older adults acknowledged the protective role of exercise in cancer prevention. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the perceived role of exercise in cancer prevention was significantly and positively associated with physical activity (Odds Ratio = 1.58, p = .013), while multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the perceived role of exercise in cancer prevention was significantly and negatively associated with sedentary behavior (p < .001) in older adults. Findings from this study can guide efforts to develop interventions that could promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior in older adults.

    Abstract Tissue defects can be accompanied by functional impairments that affect the health and quality of life of patients. Hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) hydrophilic polymer networks that can be used as bionic functional tissues to fill or repair damaged tissue as a promising therapeutic strategy in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This paper summarises and discusses four outstanding advantages of hydrogels and their applications and advances in the repair and regeneration of tissue defects. First, hydrogels have physicochemical properties similar to the extracellular matrix of natural tissues, providing a good microenvironment for cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Second, hydrogels have excellent shape adaptation and tissue adhesion properties, allowing them to be applied to a wide range of irregularly shaped tissue defects and to adhere well to the defect for sustained and efficient repair function. Third, the hydrogel is an intelligent delivery system capable of releasing therapeutic agents on demand. Hydrogels are capable of delivering therapeutic reagents and releasing therapeutic substances with temporal and spatial precision depending on the site and state of the defect. Fourth, hydrogels are self-healing and can maintain their integrity when damaged. We then describe the application and research progress of functional hydrogels in the repair and regeneration of defects in bone, cartilage, skin, muscle and nerve tissues. Finally, we discuss the challenges faced by hydrogels in the field of tissue regeneration and provide an outlook on their future trends.

    Abstract Purpose: To examine the trends of racial/ethnic and urban-rural disparities in screening mammography use with a focus on Hispanic women in rural Texas, as well as to further investigate barriers to mammography screening practices.
    Methods: A serial cross-sectional study was conducted on screening mammography including eligible female respondents (≥ 40 years) from the Texas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey from 2002 to 2018.
    Findings: Weighted descriptive analyses showed persistent racial/ethnic and urban-rural disparities in mammography screening rates among eligible women (≥ 40 years) in Texas. Overall, the mammography screening rates for women in rural areas were significantly lower than women in urban areas with a mean rate of 64.09% versus 70.89% (p < 0.001). Rural Hispanic women had the lowest mean mammography screening rate (55.98%) among all eligible women which is 16.27% below the mean mammography screening rate of non-Hispanic white women in urban areas. Weighted logistic regression model revealed that women with no health insurance or primary care providers were 52% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.36-0.63, p < 0.001) or 54% (95% CI 0.35-0.6, p < 0.001) less likely having an up-to-date mammography screening compared with women with health insurance or primary care providers, respectively.
    Conclusions: Our study demonstrated significant and persistent racial and urban-rural disparities in screening mammography utilization among Hispanic women compared with non-Hispanic white women from 2002 to 2018. Healthcare access is a major contributor to these disparities. It highlights the need for wide-scale interventions from public health and policymakers targeting under screened racial minorities and rural regions population to promote screening mammography services among disadvantaged population.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the effects of online health information seeking (OHIS) behavior on five health behaviors (regular physical activity, less sedentary, calorie checking, no alcohol consumption, and no smoking) among adult cancer survivors in the United States.
    Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with adult cancer survivors (≥18 years old) from Cycles 2, 3, and 4 of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). The respondents self-reported OHIS, and the data on the five health behaviors were pooled to perform descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses using Stata 17.0.
    Results: Of the 1245 adult cancer survivors, approximately 74% reported OHIS behavior for themselves within the previous year of the survey. We found that OHIS was significantly and positively associated with the level of physical activity (odds ratio [OR] = 1.53,
    Conclusions: Findings from this study suggest that most cancer survivors used various forms of digital tools and platforms to seek health information. The study also demonstrated an independent impact of OHIS behavior on physical activity and calorie checking. Healthcare professionals may need to encourage and guide cancer survivors to seek credible eHealth information and further utilize digital health tools as a platform for care delivery, promoting health behaviors and preventing adverse health outcomes among cancer survivors.
