    Abstract This meta-analysis compared the effectiveness of different energy-restricted diets on body composition, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism in overweight and obese populations. Five databases were searched to identify relevant studies in English from inception until July 20, 2023, for randomized controlled trials of at least 2 weeks duration assessing the effects of continuous energy-restricted diets compared with any intermittent energy-restricted diet in obesity adults. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool version 2.0, while the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) system was used to assess the certainty of the evidence. A non-informative prior distribution Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted. Thirty-eight studies (3039 participants) assessing four energy-restricted diets were included. Three RCTs were at high risk of bias with a very low to moderate certainty of evidence. Combined with pairwise comparisons and surface under the cumulative ranking curve, alternate-day fasting may be the best energy restriction regimen with the potential to have the most beneficial effects on various aspects of the obesity population. More rigorously designed and long-term follow-up studies are warranted.

    Abstract Background: DNA methylation is highly correlated with cancer and embryo development, and plasma-based methylation markers have been widely used for cancer early detection. However, whether the commonly used cancer methylation markers cause "false positives" in the plasma of pregnant women has not been comprehensively evaluated.
    Methods: We conducted a case-control study from February 2021 to March 2023, which included 138 pregnant women and 44 control women. Plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) was isolated and bisulfite-converted, and then the methylation levels of eight methylated markers related to gastrointestinal cancer (SEPT9, SDC2, C9orf50, KCNQ5, CLIP4, TFPI2, ELMO1 and ZNF582) and three markers related to lung cancer (SHOX2, RASSF1A and PTGER4) were analyzed.
    Results: When comparing the plasma of pregnant women to that of control women, SEPT9, CLIP4, ZNF582, SHOX2, RASSF1A and PTGER showed significantly higher levels of methylation (p < 0.05). These positive signals originate from the placenta/fetus rather than the mother. We found no discernible difference in DNA methylation levels between fetal cfDNA fractions of < 10 % and ≥ 10 % in pregnant women (p > 0.05), while CLIP4 and PTGER4 showed high methylation levels in the assisted fertilization group compared to the natural fertilization group (p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: Our study shows that cancer and fetus/placenta exhibit similar DNA methylation patterns, and some gastrointestinal cancer and lung cancer-related methylation markers also show positives in maternal plasma. This is an important consideration in the design and application of plasma-based cancer liquid biopsy assays.

    Abstract Background: Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is a group of rare clinical subtypes within inflammatory myopathies, predominantly affecting adult females. Instances of critical illness associated with ASS in children are even rarer.
    Case presentation: We report the case of a 7-year-old boy finally diagnosed with ASS, combined with pneumomediastinum. He presented with intermittent fever persisting for 12 days, paroxysmal cough for 11 days, chest pain, and shortness of breath for 4 days, prompting admission to our hospital. Pre-admission chest CT revealed diffuse pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous pneumatosis in the neck and bilateral chest wall, consolidation, atelectasis, and reticular nodular shadowing in both lungs, as well as pericardial effusion and bilateral pleural effusions. Laboratory tests revealed a positive result for serum MP immunoglobulin M (MP-IgM) and MP immunoglobulin G (MP-IgG). The patient was initially diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection, and following 3 days of antibiotic treatment, the patient's tachypnea worsened. Positive results in muscle enzyme antibody tests included anti-PL-12 antibody IgG, anti-Jo-1 antibody IgG, and anti-RO-52 antibody IgG. Ultrasonography detected moderate effusions in the right shoulder, bilateral elbow, and knee joints. Corticosteroids pulse therapy was initiated on the 27th day following disease onset, and continued for 3 days, followed by sequential therapy for an additional 12 days. The child was discharged on the 43rd day, and subsequent follow-up revealed a significant improvement in consolidation and interstitial lesions in both lungs.
    Conclusions: ASS in children may combine with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RPILD) and pneumomediastinum. It is crucial to promptly identify concurrent immunologic abnormalities during the outbreak of MP, particularly when the disease exhibits rapid progression with ineffective conventional antibiotic therapy.

    Abstract Ocean dynamic processes in the bottom boundary layer (BBL) are crucial for sedimentation, such as deposition and resuspension of marine sediments. In this study, we conducted in-situ tripod observations of the sediment ridge of a contourite drift in the northern South China Sea to understand the main dynamic processes affecting sedimentation on the contourite drifts. It was found that the diurnal tidal current was the strongest current at the study site, thus acting as the main dynamic affecting sedimentation processes. Periodic events of elevated suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were observed, some of which occurred only within 15 m above the seafloor and were termed near-bottom high SSC events, while others covered the entire range of the observed water column and were termed full-depth high SSC events. In-situ sediment resuspension at the sediment ridge is not an important factor affecting the formation of high SSC events. Rather, these high SSC events were mainly caused by lateral transport of sediments from the main body of the contourite drift by the northwestward diurnal tidal currents. The seafloor sediments at the main drift body are resuspened owing to the near-critical reflection of diurnal tidal currents on the slope topography of the drift. During periods when diurnal tidal currents were weak, locally generated internal waves could also induce burst-like full-depth high SSC events. This study highlights the diurnal tidal current as the main dynamic regulating the sedimentary processes of the contourite drifts in regions where the near-critical reflection prone to occur, implying the complexity of sediment dynamics of contourite drifts.

    Abstract Agricultural soils in the black soil region of northeast China often face negative stress due to low temperatures, pesticide contamination, and inadequate nutrient supply. In this study, a new cold-tolerant strain of Peribacillus simplex C1 (C1) was selectively isolated from atrazine contaminated soil. The artificially constructed microbial consortium (CPD) [C1, phosphorus-solubilizing bacterium Enterobacter sp. P1, and atrazine-degrading bacterium Acinetobacter lwoffii DNS32] demonstrated the most effective performance in enhancing atrazine degradation and phosphorus-solubilizing capacity when the initial inoculation ratio of 5:1:2 at 15 °C. CPD enhanced energy-related metabolic pathways and increased choline production to regulate bacterial adaptation to temperature decrease. Additionally, the strains could selectively utilize carbon sources (low molecular weight organic acids) or nitrogen sources (some metabolites of atrazine) provided by each other to enhance growth. Furthermore, strain C1 enhanced membrane fluidity through increased expression of the unsaturated fatty acids. Pot experiments demonstrated that CPD assisted soybean seedlings in resisting dual stresses of low temperature and atrazine contamination by inducing the expression of genes related to photosynthesis, membrane permeability, phosphorus response, and cold tolerance.

    Abstract Tibetan Plateau (TP) lakes are crucial water resources for many countries, and the region is sensitive to climate change, so the TP lakes' dynamics have always been the focus of TP research. Given the vastness of the TP, the diversity of topography, geomorphology, and meteorological features, and the significant disparities in precipitation between river basins, it is vital to examine lake dynamics and influencing variables from the basin's perspective. Based on Landsat imageries and supported by Google Earth Engine, lakes were mapped from 1990 to 2020. Results show that the TP lake's number and area have increased significantly in recent 30 years except for a noticeable shrinkage from 1990 to 1995 and a slight decrease from 2013 to 2015. The lake area in the endorheic region basin area has grown obviously, with the most significant dynamics in the Qiangtang Basin, where the lake's number and total area have increased by about 30% over the 30 years. In contrast, the lake areas in the outflow region basins were relatively stable. The dynamics were obviously affected by temperature, but the influencing factors and degree of influence on different river basins vary. The lake area in the Amu Dayra Basin and the Yellow Basin was more closely related to precipitation, and the lake area in the Hexi Basin was more related to temperature. The results provide a comprehensive understanding of lake spatial-temporal dynamics in the Tibetan Plateau and its river basins and a reference for studying lake long time series.

    Abstract Radiotherapy, a widely used therapeutic strategy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), is always limited by radioresistance of tumor tissues and side-effects on normal tissues. Herein, a signature based on four core genes of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway, is developed to predict prognosis and assess immune cell infiltration, indicating that the cGAS-STING pathway and radiotherapy efficacy are closely intertwined in ESCC.
