    Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the association between atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) T2238C (rs5065) gene polymorphism and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Relevant literature was obtained by searching databases. The odds ratios (ORs) of the ANP T2238C locus genotype distribution in the case group of cardiovascular diseases and the control group of a non-cardiovascular population were pooled using R software. Sensitivity analysis was used to verify the stability of the results. Egger's linear regression test was used to assess the publication bias of the included literature. Studies were classified according to quality assessment score of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, year, region, sample size and underlying disease for subgroup analysis, and meta-regression analysis was performed. A total of 12 studies comprising 45,619 patients were included. ANP rs5065 mutant gene C allele was a significant risk factor for myocardial infarction relative to T allele (OR=2.55, 95% CI=1.47-4.43, P=0.0008), CC+CT genotype was a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events relative to TT (OR=1.14, 95% CI=1.04-1.26, P=0.0048) and the mutant CC genotype was a potential risk factor for the composite cardio-cerebral vascular events (CVE) relative to CT+TT (OR=1.40, 95% CI=0.96-2.04, P=0.081). In studies fulfilling the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the CC genotype was a significant risk factor for the composite CVE relative to TT (OR=2.39, 95% CI=1.40-4.10, P=0.0018) and the CC genotype was a significant risk factor for composite CVE relative to CT+TT (OR=2.41, 95% CI=1.41-4.13, P=0.0015). The P-value of the Egger's test for publication bias was 0.436, which was not statistically significant. The results of the sensitivity analysis were relatively stable. Subgroup analysis indicated that the publication year was a potential source of heterogeneity. Regression analysis was performed for the recessive model in the composite CVE and the results showed that the study region (Europe) was one of the sources of heterogeneity (P=0.016). In conclusion, ANP 2238T/C mutation may increase the risk of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events and composite CVE.

    Abstract Objectives: Patients with terminal cancer receiving home palliative care present differential healthcare utilization trajectories before death. It remains unclear which situational elements influence these trajectories among disparate patient groups. The aim of this study was to compare situational influences on "persistently high" and "low stable" trajectories of healthcare utilization in patients who received palliative care support at home.
    Methods: Bereaved family caregivers were recruited from our prior quantitative study investigating healthcare utilization trajectories in oncology patients on home-based palliative care. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 family caregivers. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
    Results: Analysis of data uncovered how the 2 utilization trajectories were influenced by the interplay of 1 or more of 4 situational elements. Perceived symptom control in patients, influenced by their determination to die at home, shapes the susceptibility to situational contingencies, resulting in differential utilization trajectories. Caregivers' mental readiness in dealing with unexpected circumstances has a significant impact on the overall manageability of care, ultimately affecting decisions related to healthcare utilization. The concordance between symptom needs and scope of homecare services in a given situation proves to be an important determinant. Lastly, perceived accessibility to informal support in times of need acts as a contextual reinforcement, either preventing or precipitating decisions regarding healthcare utilizations.
    Significance of results: Our findings hold important implications for the provision of homecare services, in particular, the need for comprehensive assessment of end-of-life wishes during homecare enrolment and strengthening psychological preparedness of caregivers. Expansion of home-based clinical interventions tailored to high utilizers, and funding for temporary in-home respite should be considered to optimally manage potentially preventable acute healthcare utilization.

    Abstract Background: Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyzing the oxidative cleavage of different types of polysaccharides have potential to be used in various industries. However, AA13 family LPMOs which specifically catalyze starch substrates have relatively less members than AA9 and AA10 families to limit their application range. Amylase has been used in enzymatic desizing treatment of cotton fabric for semicentury which urgently need for new assistant enzymes to improve reaction efficiency and reduce cost so as to promote their application in the textile industry.
    Results: A total of 380 unannotated new genes which probably encode AA13 family LPMOs were discovered by the Hidden Markov model scanning in this study. Ten of them have been successfully heterologous overexpressed. AlLPMO13 with the highest activity has been purified and determined its optimum pH and temperature as pH 5.0 and 50 °C. It also showed various oxidative activities on different substrates (modified corn starch > amylose > amylopectin > corn starch). The results of enzymatic textile desizing application showed that the best combination of amylase (5 g/L), AlLPMO13 (5 mg/L), and H
    Conclusion: The Hidden Markov model constructed basing on 34 AA13 family LPMOs was proved to be a valid bioinformatics tool for discovering novel starch-active LPMOs. The novel enzyme AlLPMO13 has strong development potential in the enzymatic textile industry both concerning on economy and on application effect.

    Abstract Low permeability is a key geological factor constraining the development of shale gas, and reservoir modification to improve its permeability is a prerequisite. Controlled shock wave fracturing can induce the formation of complex fractures in reservoirs and is expected to become an important means of reservoir modification. However, the mechanism of controlled shock wave fracturing in shale and the geological engineering control factors are unclear. Therefore, this article reveals the mechanism and effect of shock wave modification through small-scale experiments and large-scale numerical simulations. Results show that as the impact number increases, a significant increase in large fractures and fracture connectivity within the shale samples is observed, while the correlation between the geometric parameters of the fractures and the number of impacts is weak. High-energy input in the model will cause a larger range of damage to the rock, accompanied by a smaller attenuation index, indicating that the speed of energy attenuation plays a decisive role in rock damage. The influence of crustal stress is greater than the speed of energy attenuation, and higher crustal stress will inhibit the formation of fractures. A moderate increase in the number of controllable shock waves is beneficial for the fracturing effect; however, further increasing the loading number of controllable shock waves will weaken the strengthening effect of the fracturing effect.

    Abstract At present, traditional music therapy based on "white noise" is commonly used to treat tinnitus patients. This study aims to apply "pink noise", which has a more balanced frequency distribution than white noise, to the field of tinnitus rehabilitation treatment to study its inhibitory effect on tinnitus. Fractal technology (fractal mathematics) was used to generate semi-repetitive tones as the basic tone of music therapy. This clinical study recruited 43 adult tinnitus patients with varying degrees of hearing loss as the study subjects. All patients received fractal music therapy with hearing aids. The study evaluated the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) of patients' usage and tested the indicators with paired sample T-tests. The results indicate that "pink noise" is effective in the treatment of tinnitus, and the differences in the scores are statistically significant before and after treatment (P<0.05). In addition, by comparing the tone spectra of "white noise" and "pink noise", we found that the frequency component power of "pink noise" is mainly concentrated in the middle and low frequency range. Its slope is -3 dB/Oct, which means that the frequency decays downwards as the ratio increases. In this study, a tinnitus music therapy based on the "pink noise" tone was developed, which mainly solved the awkward problem of no specific drugs or special tinnitus treatment equipment. At the same time, it helps to accelerate the development of related medical devices and improve the quality of life of tinnitus patients.
