    Abstract PubChem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) is a public chemical database that serves scientific communities as well as the general public. This database collects chemical information from hundreds of data sources and organizes them into multiple data collections, including Substance, Compound, BioAssay, Protein, Gene, Pathway, and Patent. These collections are interlinked with each other, allowing users to discover related records in the various collections (e.g., drugs targeting a protein or genes modulated by a chemical). PubChem can be searched by keyword (e.g., a chemical, protein, or gene name) as well as by chemical structure. The input structure can be provided using popular line notations or drawn with the PubChem Sketcher. PubChem supports various types of structure searches, including identity search, 2-D and 3-D similarity searches, and substructure and superstructure searches. Results from multiple searches can be combined using Boolean operators (i.e., AND, OR, and NOT) to formulate complex queries. PubChem allows the user to quickly retrieve a list of records annotated with a particular classification or ontological term. This paper provides step-by-step instructions on how to explore PubChem data with examples of commonly requested tasks. © 2021.

    Abstract Precise patterning of metallic micro/nanostructures enables application of silk protein in biomedical devices with a seamless human-machine interface. However, high-quality, expensive equipment and facilities involved in micro/nanofabrication hinder rapid prototyping for explorative laboratory-based research. Here, we report cost-effective and high-resolution light-emitting diode-based projection lithography methods for fabricating a Cr photomask and metallic microstructures on a silk protein layer. After two-step photolithography performed using a commercial camera and microscopic objective lens, inkjet-printed patterns are successfully projected on the silk layers with 100× and 500× demagnification ratios. A lift-off process is conducted to integrate Au patterns on the lithographic-patterned resist/silk layer, and various Au microstructures with sizes <2 μm are generated. In all the processes, the silk protein exhibits a high resistance to chemicals for resist solvent, development, resist strip, and lift-off, as well as a strong adhesion to gold, along with low cytotoxicity. Dopamine sensing and transistor operating capabilities are proved by measuring the changes in the electrical signals through the Au patterns. The proposed method is a cost-effective and simple approach for rapid prototyping of silk-based biomedical devices.

    Abstract DNA storage systems have begun to attract considerable attention as next-generation storage technologies due to their high densities and longevity. However, efficient primer design for random-access in synthesized DNA strands is still an issue that needs to be solved. Although previous studies have explored various constraints for primer design in DNA storage systems, there is no attention paid to the combination of weakly mutually uncorrelated codes with the maximum run length constraint. In this paper, we first propose a code design by combining weakly mutually uncorrelated codes with the maximum run length constraint. Moreover, we also explore the weakly mutually uncorrelated codes to satisfy combinations of maximum run length constraint with more constraints such as being almost-balanced and having large Hamming distance, which are also efficient constraints for random-access in DNA storage systems. To guarantee that the proposed codes can be adapted to primer design with variable length, we present modified code construction methods to achieve different lengths of the code. Then, we provide an analysis of the size of the proposed codes, which indicates the capacity to support primer design. Finally, we compare the codes with those of previous works to show that the proposed codes can always guarantee the maximum run length constraint, which is helpful for random-access for DNA storage.

    Abstract Objective: We explored the trend in prevalence of hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome in the US populations and investigated associations between components of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia by race.
    Methods: We analyzed data from the four most recent NHANES cycles (2011 to March 2020), comprising 10,175 participants. Hyperuricemia is defined as serum urate > 7.0 mg/dL (men) or > 5.7 mg/dL (women), following the NHANES III guideline. Definition of metabolic syndrome follows National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) guideline. We estimated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia in each cycle and performed subgroup analyses with logistic regression to investigate the patterns of associated components of metabolic syndrome with hyperuricemia.
    Results: In the most recent cycle (2017-March 2020), the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 45.9% and that of hyperuricemia was 20.7%. Over the 2011-2020 period, a significant rise in metabolic syndrome prevalence was observed among Hispanic and Asian populations, and the prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased significantly only in Hispanic. After adjustment for confounding factors, subjects with metabolic syndrome exhibited a higher hyperuricemia in women than in men. Elevated BP was the strongest factor with hyperuricemia. The association was the weakest in Asian population. Waist circumference was the only significant factor associated with hyperuricemia in Asian.
    Conclusion: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome has increasing pattern, but there was no specific decadal trend in prevalence of hyperuricemia. There is an ethnic-specific association of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia, especially in Asian.

    Abstract Bio-integrated optoelectronics can be interfaced with biological tissues, thereby offering opportunities for clinical diagnosis and therapy. However, finding a suitable biomaterial-based semiconductor to interface with electronics is still challenging. In this study, a semiconducting layer is assembled comprising a silk protein hydrogel and melanin nanoparticles (NPs). The silk protein hydrogel provides a water-rich environment for the melanin NPs that maximizes their ionic conductivity and bio-friendliness. An efficient photodetector is produced by forming a junction between melanin NP-silk and a

    Abstract Neighborhoods have a significant impact on depressive symptoms in older adults. In response to the increasing depression of older adults in Korea, this study aims to identify the relationship between perceived and objective neighborhood characteristics in depressive symptoms and find differences between rural and urban areas. We used a National survey collected in 2020 of 10,097 Korean older adults aged 65 and older. We also utilized Korean administration data for identifying the objective neighborhood characteristics. Multilevel modeling results indicated that depressive symptoms decreased when older adults perceived their housing condition (b = -0.04,

    Abstract Effect-directed analysis (EDA) is a crucial tool in environmental toxicology, effectively integrating toxicity testing with chemical analysis. The conventional EDA approach, however, presents challenges such as significant solvent consumption, extended analysis time, labor intensity, and potential contamination risks. In response, we introduce an innovative alternative to the conventional EDA. This method utilizes the MTT bioassay and online two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D LC) coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), significantly reducing the fractionation steps and leveraging the enhanced sensitivity of the bioassay and automated chemical analysis. In the chemical analysis phase, a switching valve interface is employed for comprehensive analysis. We tested the performance of both the conventional and our online 2D LC-based methods using a household product. Both methods identified the same number of toxicants in the sample. Our alternative EDA is 22.5 times faster than the conventional method, fully automated, and substantially reduces solvent consumption. This novel approach offers ease, cost-effectiveness, and represents a paradigm shift in EDA methodologies. By integrating a sensitive bioassay with online 2D LC, it not only enhances efficiency but also addresses the challenges associated with traditional methods, marking a significant advancement in environmental toxicology research.
