    Abstract Introduction: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a group of acute immune-mediated disorders in the peripheral nervous system. Both infectious and noninfectious factors are associated with GBS, which may act as triggers of autoimmune responses leading to neural damage and dysfunction.
    Areas covered: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its vaccines as well as flaviviruses have been associated with GBS, although a robust conclusion has yet to be reached. Immunomodulatory treatments, including intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) and plasma exchange (PE), have long been the first-line therapies for GBS. Depending on GBS subtype and severity at initial presentation, the efficacy of IVIg and PE can be variable. Several new therapies showing benefits to experimental animals merit further investigation before translation into clinical practice. We review the state-of-the-art knowledge on the immunopathogenesis of GBS in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Immunomodulatory therapies in GBS, including IVIg, PE, corticosteroids, and potential therapies, are summarized.
    Expert opinion: The association with SARS-CoV-2 remains uncertain, with geographical differences that are difficult to explain. Evidence and guidelines are lacking for the decision-making of initiating immunomodulatory therapies in mildly affected patients or patients with regional subtypes of GBS.

    Abstract Peritoneal dialysis is an efficient renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, continuous exposure of the peritoneal membrane to dialysate frequently leads to peritoneal fibrosis, which alters the function of the peritoneal membrane and results in withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis in patients. Among others, high glucose dialysate is considered as a predisposing factor for peritoneal fibrosis in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Glucose-induced inflammation, metabolism disturbance, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, angiogenesis and noninflammation-induced reactive oxygen species are implicated in the pathogenesis of high glucose dialysate-induced peritoneal fibrosis. Specifically, high glucose causes chronic inflammation and recurrent peritonitis, which could cause migration and polarization of inflammatory cells, as well as release of cytokines and fibrosis. High glucose also interferes with lipid metabolism and glycolysis by activating the sterol-regulatory element-binding protein-2/cleavage-activating protein pathway and increasing hypoxia inducible factor-1α expression, leading to angiogenesis and peritoneal fibrosis. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and Ras-mitogen activated protein kinase signaling pathway is another contributing factor in high glucose dialysate-induced fibrosis. Ultimately, activation of the transforming growth factor-β1/Smad pathway is involved in mesothelial-mesenchymal transition or epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which leads to the development of fibrosis. Although possible intervention strategies for peritoneal dialysate-induced fibrosis by targeting the transforming growth factor-β1/Smad pathway have occasionally been proposed, lack of laboratory evidence renders clinical decision-making difficult. We therefore aim to revisit the upstream pathways of transforming growth factor-beta1/Smad and propose potential therapeutic targets for high glucose-induced peritoneal fibrosis.

    Abstract Cu-Be alloys exhibit excellent comprehensive performance in electrics, thermotics, and mechanics, and hence, they attract much attention. Among them, low-Be copper alloys are more environmentally friendly and promising. This study explores the effects of different Ni contents and heat treatment parameters on the properties, microstructures, and precipitates of Cu-0.2 wt% Be-x wt% Ni (0 < x < 2.0) alloys. The experimental results demonstrate that the fast cooling rate of cast alloys during solidification contributes to retention of the solute atoms in the copper matrix, which is beneficial for subsequent solid solution treatment. Furthermore, solid solution treatment slightly reduces the electrical conductivities, microhardness values, and compressive yield strengths of Cu-0.2 wt% Be-1.0/1.6 wt% Ni alloys. The optimal solution temperature and time are about 925 ℃ and 60 min, respectively. Aging treatment significantly increases the electrical conductivities, microhardness values, and compressive yield strengths of Cu-0.2 wt% Be-1.0/1.6 wt% Ni alloys. The best aging temperature is around 450 ℃. However, the properties of Cu-0.2 wt%Be-0.4 wt%Ni alloys remain unaffected by solution and aging treatments. Around x = 1.0, Cu-0.2 wt% Be-x wt% Ni alloys possess the best comprehensive properties, which are about 72%IACS of electrical conductivity, 241 HV of microhardness, and 281MPa of compressive yield strength, respectively. TEM and EDS analyses reveal that the precipitate evolution of Cu-0.2 wt% Be-1.0 wt% Ni alloys with aging time is GP zones → γ″ → γ'. Notably, a distinct double-peak age strengthening phenomenon emerges with Cu-0.2 wt% Be-1.0/1.6 wt% Ni alloys. The precipitation of plenty of GP zones at the early stage of aging should account for the first strengthening peak, and the strengthening mechanism transformation of the γ″ or γ' phase from shear to Orowan should induce the second strengthening peak. This work may help to design new low-Be copper alloys and their preparation processes.

    Abstract In scenarios involving sudden releases of unidentified gases or concealed pollution emergencies, source control emerges as a critical procedure to safeguard residential air quality. Appropriate inverse source tracking methodology depending on diverse measurement data could be utilized to promptly identify pollutant source parameters. In this study, source term estimation (STE) method, i.e., jointly combining probability adjoint method with the Bayesian inference method, has been proposed. General form of the pollutant inverse transport equation was firstly established. Subsequently, the pollution source information, assumed from single continuous point releases during Fusion Field Trials 2007 under an unsteady wind field, was identified using the Bayesian inference probability adjoint inverse method. Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MH-MCMC) and Differential Evolution Markov Chain Monte Carlo (DE-MCMC) were then compared as sampling methods for Bayesian inference. Results indicated that the DE-MCMC algorithm has superior convergence and could present higher accuracy of pollutant source information than that of MH-MCMC algorithm, particularly for highly nonlinear and multi-modal distribution systems. Furthermore, the integration of Union standard Adjoint Location Probability (UALP) as prior information into the Bayesian inference probability adjoint inverse method effectively narrowed the sampling range, enhancing both the accuracy and robustness of the proposed approach. Finally, the impact of the covariance matrix on the inverse identification accuracy was explored. Overall, this research has provided insights into the future applicability of this Bayesian inference inversion technique for point source identification.

    Abstract Objective: To study the relationship between umbilical cord blood vitamin A (VA) and neonatal lung diseases and explore the impact of umbilical cord blood VA on neonatal lung diseases.
    Method: Umbilical vein blood was collected at birth, and its VA content was measured. According to the VA levels in umbilical cord blood, a VA deficiency (VAD) group, a marginal deficiency group and a normal group were created and followed up until 28 days after birth.
    Results: The umbilical cord blood VA level in the neonatal group with lung disease was 0.13 ± 0.05 mg/L, while the result for the VA level in the non-lung disease group was 0.15 ± 0.05 mg/L. The umbilical cord blood VA levels in the neonatal lung disease group were significantly lower than those in the non-lung disease group. The incidence of neonatal pulmonary diseases was highest in the VAD group, and the incidence decreased as the level of VA in umbilical cord blood increased. Umbilical cord blood VAD and premature birth were found to be independent risk factors for neonatal respiratory disease.
    Conclusion: Umbilical cord blood VAD and premature birth are independent risk factors for neonatal pulmonary diseases. The lower the level of VA in umbilical cord blood, the more susceptible infants will be to neonatal respiratory infections in the neonatal period.

    Abstract Purpose: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a relatively rare subtype of DLBCL. Herein, we report a case of a patient with EBV-positive iris DLBCL after undergoing penetrating keratoplasty and discuss its possible pathogenesis.
    Methods: A 72-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with progressive blurring of vision in the left eye for the past 4 months. Small white nodular lesions were observed on the iris and retinal surface of the left eye, with a white cloud-like opacity in the vitreous cavity.
    Results: The patient was eventually diagnosed with EBV-positive iris DLBCL after undergoing pathological and metagenomic tests. After injecting methotrexate in the left vitreous cavity and administering systemic and local antiviral treatments, the ocular lesions disappeared.
    Conclusion: EBV infection, drug immunosuppression, and aging-related immune deterioration may play significant roles in the pathogenesis of EBV-positive iris DLBCL.
    Synopsis: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a new subtype of DLBCL, which rarely occurs. Herein, we report a case of a patient with EBV-positive iris DLBCL after undergoing penetrating keratoplasty and discuss its possible pathogenesis.
