    Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) poses a significant health challenge worldwide, necessitating the identification of predictive biomarkers to improve prognosis. Dysregulated lipid metabolism is a well-recognized hallmark of tumorigenesis, prompting investigation into apolipoproteins (APOs). In this study, we focused on apolipoprotein D (APOD) following comprehensive analyses of APOs in pan-cancer. Utilizing data from the TCGA-STAD and GSE62254 cohorts, we elucidated associations between APOD expression and multiple facets of GC, including prognosis, tumor microenvironment (TME), cancer biomarkers, mutations, and immunotherapy response, and identified potential anti-GC drugs. Single-cell analyses and immunohistochemical staining confirmed APOD expression in fibroblasts within the GC microenvironment. Additionally, we independently validated the prognostic significance of APOD in the ZN-GC cohort. Our comprehensive analyses revealed that high APOD expression in GC patients was notably associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes, reduced microsatellite instability and tumor mutation burden, alterations in the TME, and diminished response to immunotherapy. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential prognostic and therapeutic implications of APOD in GC.

    Abstract Rhamnolipids, a type of biosurfactant, represent a potential strategy for both enhancing organismic resistance and in situ remediation of heavy metals contaminations. In-depth study of the mechanism of rhamnolipids synthesis in response to heavy metals stress, is indispensable for a wide use of biosurfactant-secreting microbes in bioremediation.

    Abstract A series of carbazole-based vinyl-benzoxazole derivatives have been synthesized in order to verify whether X-ray diffraction (XRD) simulation can give more information about intermolecular stacking in the gel phase. It was found that their gelation capabilities were strongly dependent on the length of the alkyl chain. The compounds with shorter alkyl chains have lower critical gelation concentrations (CGCs) in nonpolar alkane and alcohols with longer carbon chains. On the other hand, compounds with long alkyl chains presented small CGCs in polar methanol. Powder XRD structure solution gave more information about intermolecular stacking than the traditional way of analyzing diffraction peaks to derive approximate molecular stacking patterns. The results verified that gelators had a similar head-to-tail π-stacking between aromatic groups in gel phases although different slipping angles existed. Moreover, ordered stacking between the alkyl chains was also present.

    Abstract Considering the adverse effects of heavy metals (HMs) on agriculture soil, in-situ immobilization has been paid great attention worldwide. P-modified biochar/hydrochar along with synthetic zeolite for efficient HMs immobilization in contaminated soil becomes a promising choice. In this study, H₃PO₄-modified hydrochar (BPH) derived from banana peels, and Na-X zeolite (ZL) prepared from coal gangue was applied individually and synergistically (1%BPH, 2%BPH 1%ZL, 2%ZL, and 1%BPH+1%ZL) to remediate a farmland soil polluted by Cd, Cu, and Pb near the coal-mining area. Compared with the mono-application of these two amendments, their combination significantly improved the soil organic carbon (SOC), electric conductivity (EC), and dehydrogenase activity. Besides, the addition of 1%CLH+1%ZL remarkably reduced the Cd, Cu, and Pb bioavailability by 67.01%, 57.01%, and 78.72%, respectively, in the soil after 100 d incubation by transforming these metals to more stable forms. The order of the HMs immobilization capacity for these two amendments was as follows: Pb > Cu > Cd. Moreover, the dominated immobilization mechanism of their synergistic application was that BPH could immobilize HMs by precipitation, complexation, and π−π electron-donor-acceptor interaction. The precipitation and complexation blocked the surface pores of BPH. The sustained release of phosphorus groups and radicals was prevented. This obstacle was possibly alleviated by adding ZL. Besides, the formation of cationic bridging, the enhancement of soil properties, and the physical adsorption of these amendments were also conducive to HMs immobilization in soil. This work indicated that co-application of BPH and ZL possibly was an excellent choice for immobilizing HMs in soil.

    Abstract Context.—: The pathology residency program began in China in 2014. There has been no competency assessment on training programs in the Hubei province of China.
    Objective.—: To evaluate the current residency training curriculum and resident performance in Hubei Province.
    Design.—: A 37-question online questionnaire was designed to cover general demographic information, diagnostic competency, expectations of ideal caseload for gross and preview, teaching patterns, examinations, research activities, weak points, and other topics in pathology practice.
    Results.—: A total of 166 participants, including 62 postgraduate year (PGY) 2, 49 PGY3, and 55 new practicing pathologists, responded to the survey. PGY3 residents were found to be more competent than PGY2 in diagnostic competency. Forty-five of 55 new practicing pathologists (81.8%) reported that they could sign out cases independently, whereas 10 of 55 (18.2%) were found to still need transitional time for learning before working independently. Some residents could sign out cytopathology cases and gained knowledge in immunohistochemistry and histochemical staining, while some residents did not receive adequate training in molecular pathology. The ideal caseloads for gross and preview during residency were greater than 5000 and 7000, respectively. Nonneoplastic diseases, neuropathology, dermatopathology, hematopathology, and soft tissue pathology were considered difficult subspecialties in pathology practice.
    Conclusions.—: While residents trained in Hubei Province have met the basic requirements for qualified pathologists, more efforts need to be made in many areas, such as a well-structured training curriculum and better-designed proficiency examinations. The findings of this study are of great importance to prioritizing training in the future.
