    Abstract Maintaining an excellent force-electric response under cyclic bending at low temperatures is still challenging for resistive-type electrically conductive polymer composite-based pressure sensors. In this study, the effect of low temperature on the fatigue failure of flexible MXene/polymer pressure sensors was systematically investigated through the silane functionalization of MXene nanosheets embedded with different polymer matrixes. The results show that the MXene/polymer interfaces are the primary factors affecting the temperature-dependent bending fatigue of the Cu/MXene/polymer/Cu sensor. Using finite element analysis and theoretical calculations, we reveal that the MXene/polymer interfaces are affected by free volume changes and the molecular chain motion under different temperatures. At room temperature, the well-distributed free volume in the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix permits local segmental mobility that promotes the affinity between the polymer and MXene. As the temperature decreases, the free volume in the matrix shrinks with less space left for molecular chains to slide relatively, weakening the polymer/MXene interfacial bonding strength. However, for PDMS/MXene sensors with the interface modified using the silane coupling agent KH550, the nanoconstrained structure formed by strong hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds at the PDMS/MXene interface can hinder the mobility of polymer chains, which greatly helps to dissipate the inter/intrachain friction. It thus alleviates the debonding energy dissipation during cyclic bending at subzero temperatures.

    Abstract Plasma atherogenic index (AIP) reflects a novel intricate biochemical indicator of lipids' metabolism. The involvement of lipid metabolism for pathogenesis concerning nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been established. However, the precise association across AIP and hepatic steatosis and fibrosis remains unclear. This present investigation explored the potential correlation across AIP, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. Data were acquired through National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2020. Hepatic steatosis was detected through the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), while hepatic fibrosis was examined via liver stiffness measurement (LSM). The study employed multiple linear, Fitted smoothed curves and subgroup analyses were used for investigating relationships between the AIP, CAP, and LSM. The study recruited 6239 participants. In multivariate linear regression analysis, findings indicated a remarkable correlation between AIP and exacerbated NAFLD risk [odds ratio (95% confidence interval), 1.17 (1.12, 1.21)]. Analysis further revealed a positive link across AIP and hepatic steatosis, as indicated through the CAP [β (95% CI), 4.07 (3.32, 4.82)]. Tests for non-linearity, revealed a non-linear correlation between AIP and CAP (inflection point = 0.22). Subgroup analyses assessed the consistency of the link across AIP and CAP, indicating that the association remained comparable across all subgroups. Following the adjustment for all relevant variables, the linear regression analysis revealed a lack of statistical significance across the AIP and hepatic fibrosis. [LSM, β (95% CI), -0.39 (-1.06, 0.28), P = .2501]. Smooth-fitting curves examined the link across AIP and LSM and showed a U-shaped pattern, indicating their positive correlation with AIP less than 0.48. However, no significant correlation was observed with AIP more than 0.48. This study highlighted a substantial positive relationship across AIP and hepatic steatosis, as measured through CAP, and suggests that it may be used as an efficient and rapid measure for clinical prediction of hepatic steatosis.

    Abstract Purpose: The abnormal activation of NLRP3 inflammasome is related to the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the ideal drug and delivery system remain important factors limiting the targeting of NLRP3 inflammasome in UC therapy. Gene therapy by delivering siRNA is effective in treating various diseases. Therefore, delivering siNLRP3 using an ideal vector for UC treatment is necessary.
    Materials and methods: Nanoparticles delivering siNLRP3 were developed based on cationic liposome (CLP/siNLRP3). Their ability to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation was monitored using Western blot (WB) and Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The ASC oligomerization in LPS-primed peritoneal macrophages (PMs) was detected by WB and immunofluorescence. Moreover, we assessed the role of CLP/siNLRP3 on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced UC by examining NLRP3 levels, pro-inflammatory cytokines expression, and disease-associated index (DAI). Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the contents of macrophages and T cells. Finally, we assessed the safety of CLP/siNLRP3.
    Results: The prepared CLP was spherical, with a small particle size (94 nm) and low permeability. The CLP could efficiently protect siNLRP3 from degradation and then deliver siNLRP3 into PMs, inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Also, the CLP/siNLRP3 could inhibit the secretion of mature IL-1β and IL-18 from PMs, thereby achieving a favorable anti-inflammation effect. In vivo, CLP/siNLRP3 could effectively alleviate intestinal injury in UC mice, which was attributed to down-regulating levels of IL-1β and IL-18, inhibiting infiltration of macrophages and other immune cells, and the polarization of M1 macrophages. Finally, pathological testing of tissue sections and blood biochemical tests showed no significant toxic effects of CLP/siNLRP3.
    Conclusion: We introduced a prospective approach for the efficient delivery of siRNA in vitro and in vivo with high safety and stability, which was found to have great potential in treating NLRP3-driven diseases in an RNA-silencing manner.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading cause of cancer-associated death in the world. However, due to the complexity of HCC, it is urgent for us to find a reliable and accurate biomarker for HCC gene therapy.TopBP1-interacting checkpoint and replication regulator (TICRR), known as Treslin in vertebrate and sld3 in yeast, is involved in the tumorigenesis, progression, matastasis, diagnosis, and predicting prognosis of HCC. Disappointingly, the mechanism of TICRR expression in HCC is still not described in detail and requires further analysis. In this study, TCGA ( www.tcga-data.nci.nih.gov/tcga/ ) datasets and GEO ( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo ) datasets were used to analyze the expression of TICRR in HCC, the relevance of TICRR mRNA expression and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with HCC, and the relationship between TICRR expression and immune infiltration level in Patients with HCC. Based on MethSurv database, the impact of TICRR in patients with HCC was investigated. In addition, GO/KEGG enrichment analysis of TICRR co-expression was performed using the R package. TICRR was found drastically highly expressed in a variety of cancer types including HCC.ROC curve analysis showed that TICRR had higher accuracy in predicting HCC compared with AFP. The expression level of TICRR was marked positively correlated with tumor stage and prognosis in Patients with HCC.GO/KEGG enrichment analysis showed that TICRR was associated with cell division and cell cycle as well as p53 signaling pathway. In addition, patients with high TICRR methylation of cg05841809, cg09403165, and cg03312532 CpG sites were significantly correlated with poor prognosis of HCC. This study demonstrated that increased TICRR expression in HCC might play an important role in the tumorigenesis, progression, diagnosis, and predicting prognosis of HCC. Therefore, TICRR might be used as a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for HCC gene therapy.

    Abstract Tissue clearing techniques turn tissue transparent through a series of chemical and physical treatments. They have provided a useful tool for three-dimensional (3-D) imaging to study tissue spatial organization and interactions. Many tissue clearing methods have been developed in recent years. Each method has its own application range depending on the purposes of the study. Three criteria for selecting an appropriate clearing method include clearing transparency, fluorescence preservation, and broad tissue applicability. PEG-associated solvent system (PEGASOS) emerged recently as a solvent-based tissue clearing method capable of rendering diverse tissues highly transparent while preserving fluorescence. Combined with vascular labeling techniques, PEGASOS method enables 3-D visualization of vasculature in whole tissues at subcellular resolution. Here, we describe the standard PEGASOS passive immersion protocol and several compatible vascular labeling techniques. Methods of 3-D imaging, data processing, and annotations are also briefly introduced.
