    Abstract Rationale: Liver infarction caused only by hepatic artery occlusion is rare. Elevated levels of eosinophils in the blood and tissue can have devastating consequences.
    Patient concerns: Male, 21 years old, presented with persistent abdominal distension and discomfort for more than ten days without an apparent cause. Laboratory findings showed an eosinophil percentage of 32.5% (normal range 0.5%-5%). Computed tomographic angiography of the hepatic artery and its branches did not show any enhancement, only the common hepatic artery was visible.
    Diagnosis: The patient in this case had a peripheral blood eosinophil count of ≥1.5 × 109/L in multiple examinations over 6 months, and eosinophilic leukemia and secondary causes such as parasitic infections, allergic diseases, or tumors were ruled out, confirming the diagnosis of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES).
    Interventions: The patients were treated with interventional therapy, glucocorticoid pulse therapy and anti-infection therapy.
    Outcomes: After interventional therapy, glucocorticoid pulse therapy, and anti-infection treatment, the patient was reexamined 2 months later. The CT scan showed that the range of the original infarction in the liver had shrunk compared to before, and the remaining liver had enlarged with good compensation; Laboratory tests improved compared with baseline: eosinophil percentage of 0.1%.
    Lessons: This article discusses a rare case of hepatic artery occlusion and liver infarction in a young male patient with HES. The cause of hepatic artery embolism and hepatic infarction may be related to the abnormal increase in eosinophils, which can lead to hypercoagulation and thrombus formation. The article emphasizes the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment of HES to prevent life-threatening thrombotic events and describes the successful management of the patient condition through anticoagulation, anti-infection, liver protection, and glucocorticoid therapy.

    Abstract Organic electrode materials are extensively applied for potassium storage as their sustainability and low cost. However, the organic electrodes' (i) solubility (such as naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, NTCDA; 2,6-diaminoanthanthraquinone, DAQ, which are easily soluble in organic solvents) and (ii) intrinsic poor conductivity often result in high impedance and inferior electrochemical performance. Herein, the monomers of NTCDA and DAQ were polymerized (PND) to obtain an insoluble organic cathode, and a 5 wt% graphite (G) was also used to graft the PND sheet and increase its conductivity. Consequently, the as-prepared organic cathode (PND-G) achieved a long-life cycling performance of over 1500 cycles at 100 mA g

    Abstract Pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) pose a growing concern with potential environmental impacts, commonly introduced into the environment via wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The occurrence, removal, and season variations of 60 different classes of PhCs were investigated in the baffled bioreactor (BBR) wastewater treatment process during summer and winter. The concentrations of 60 PhCs were 3400 ± 1600 ng/L in the influent, 2700 ± 930 ng/L in the effluent, and 2400 ± 120 ng/g dw in sludge. Valsartan (Val, 1800 ng/L) was the main contaminant found in the influent, declining to 520 ng/L in the effluent. The grit chamber and BBR tank were substantially conducive to the removal of VAL. Nonetheless, the BBR process showcased variable removal efficiencies across different PhC classes. Sulfadimidine had the highest removal efficiency of 87 ± 17% in the final effluent (water plus solid phase). Contrasting seasonal patterns were observed among PhC classes within BBR process units. The concentrations of many PhCs were higher in summer than in winter, while some macrolide antibiotics exhibited opposing seasonal fluctuations. A thorough mass balance analysis revealed quinolone and sulfonamide antibiotics were primarily eliminated through degradation and transformation in the BBR process. Conversely, 40.2 g/d of macrolide antibiotics was released to the natural aquatic environment via effluent discharge. Gastric acid and anticoagulants, as well as cardiovascular PhCs, primarily experienced removal through sludge adsorption. This study provides valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of PhCs in wastewater treatment, emphasizing the need for tailored strategies to effectively mitigate their release and potential environmental risks.

    Abstract Objective: The study aimed to pool and analyze the effects of different forms of exercise on muscle strength (handgrip strength [HGS]), and physical performance (timed up and go test [TUGT], gait speed [GS] and chair stand test [CS]) in older adults with sarcopenia.
    Methods: The effect sizes of all studies retrieved and included by the four databases were analyzed using the network meta-analysis and expressed as standardized mean differences (SMD) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).
    Results: Twenty studies were included in this study with 1347 older adults with sarcopenia. Compared with control and other intervention groups, resistance training (RT) improved HGS [SMD=3.8, 95% CI (1.3, 6.0), p<0.05] and TUGT [SMD = -1.99, 95% CI (-2.82, -1.16), p<0.05] significantly. comprehensive training (CT) [SMD = -2.04, 95% CI (-3.05, -1.06), Pp<0.05] and Comprehensive training under self-management (CT_SM) [SMD = -2.01, 95% CI (-3.24, -0.78), p<0.05] improved TUGT significantly.
    Conclusion: In older adults with sarcopenia, RT could improve HGS and TUGT, CT and CT_SM could improve TUGT. There were no significant changes in CS and GS with any of the exercise training modes.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to translate and adapt the Brief Pain Inventory-Facial (BPI-F) into Chinese, proposing a validated Chinese version for clinical application.
    Methods: To evaluate the applicability of Chinese BPI-F, this study included two groups: clinical sample (406 patients with OFP) and non-clinical sample (514 college students without OFP medical history). Content validity was improved through patient interviews. Cronbach's α was used to evaluate the reliability of BPI-F in both groups. The best-fit factor structure was tested on clinical sample via exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent and discriminant validity of BPI-F was evaluated by Spearman's coefficient. Serial CFA was used to assess measurement invariance between the two groups.
    Results: Content validity and reliability of BPI-F were verified. EFA results support a two-factor structure, interference with general activities (1-7 items) and face-specific pain interference (8-14 items). CFA results demonstrated this two-factor structure is appropriate for different populations. Spearman results showed that BPI-F had good convergent and discriminant validity. Full measurement invariance is observed across the two groups.
    Conclusion: The Chinese BPI-F, with two-factor structure (interference with general / orofacial functions), enables accurate assessment of functional interference caused by OFP. BPI-F has the same significance in different clinical populations, which expands its application.
    Clinical significance: This manuscript proposed the Chinese version of the BPI-F and examined its psychometric characteristics for the first time. This validated scale provides a favorable instrument for aiding individual diagnosis and treatment for OFP patients in China.

    Abstract The inherently huge volume expansion during Li uptake has hindered the use of Si-based anodes in high-energy lithium-ion batteries. While some pore-forming and nano-architecting strategies show promises to effectively buffer the volume change, other parameters essential for practical electrode fabrication, such as compaction density, are often compromised. Here we propose a new in situ Mg doping strategy to form closed-nanopore structure into a micron-sized SiO

    Abstract Background: Our study investigated the role of FAM53B in regulating macrophage M2 polarization and its potential mechanisms in promoting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) metastasis.
    Aim: To further investigate the role of FAM53B in regulating macrophage M2 polarization and its potential mechanism in promoting PDAC metastasis. Our goal is to determine how FAM53B affects macrophage M2 polarization and to define its underlying mechanism in PDAC metastasis.
    Methods: Cell culture and various experiments, including protein analysis, immunohistochemistry, and animal model experiments, were conducted. We compared FAM53B expression between PDAC tissues and healthy tissues and assessed the correlation of FAM53B expression with clinical features. Our study analyzed the role of FAM53B in macrophage M2 polarization
    Results: Our research showed that there was a significant increase in FAM53B levels in PDAC tissues, which was linked to adverse tumor features. Experimental findings indicated that FAM53B can enhance macrophage M2 polarization, leading to increased anti-inflammatory factor release. The results from the mouse model further supported the role of FAM53B in PDAC metastasis, as blocking FAM53B prevented tumor cell invasion and metastasis.
    Conclusion: FAM53B promotes PDAC metastasis by regulating macrophage M2 polarization. This discovery could lead to the development of new strategies for treating PDAC. For example, interfering with the FAM53B signaling pathway may prevent cancer spread. Our research findings also provide important information for expanding our understanding of PDAC pathogenesis.
