    Abstract The pulse amplitude of fingertip volume could be improved by selecting the vascular dense area and applying appropriate pressure above it. In view of this phenomenon, this paper used Comsol Multiphysics 5.6 (Comsol, Sweden), the finite element analysis software of multi-physical field coupling simulation, to establish the vascular tissue model of a single small artery in fingertips for simulation. Three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations were solved by finite element method, the velocity field and pressure distribution of blood were calculated, and the deformation of blood vessels and surrounding tissues was analyzed. Based on Lambert Beer's Law, the influence of the longitudinal compression displacement of the lateral light surface region and the tissue model on the light intensity signal is investigated. The results show that the light intensity signal amplitude could be increased and its peak value could be reduced by selecting the area with dense blood vessels. Applying deep pressure to the tissue increased the amplitude and peak of the signal. It is expected that the simulation results combined with the previous experimental experience could provide a feasible scheme for improving the quality of finger volume pulse signal.

    Abstract Background: It is well known that estrogen is closely related to bone and joint tissue. Findings indicate that estradiol, injected during pregnancy, passes through the placental barrier and reaches the fetuses in utero where it exerts its action. Since trochlea appears well established in the prenatal period, however, whether trochlear dysplasia is related to estradiol exposure has not been confirmed, and the pathological process of estradiol exposure-induced trochlear dysplasia remains unclear. This study aimed to establish an estradiol exposure animal model in fetuses and to analyze the morphology of the femoral trochlear in neonatal rats.
    Methods: 30 pregnant Wistar rats provided by the local Animal Center were assigned randomly into three groups, a high dose estradiol injection group, a low dose estradiol injection group and a blank control group. Gross, cross-sectional observation, histological staining measurement and microcomputed tomography of the rat offspring were conducted to evaluate the morphological changes of the femoral trochlea.
    Results: The incidence of trochlear dysplasia increased with the concentration of estradiol injection. Gross and cross-sectional observation showed a shallower trochlea groove in two groups with estradiol injection. Histological staining measurement indicated that the trochlear sulcus angle and trochlear sulcus depth were significantly different between the two groups with estradiol injection and the blank control group at 0,5 and 10 days after birth. Subchondral bone loss was observed in the two estradiol injection groups by micro-CT, and the bone loss was found to deteriorate over time.
    Conclusion: In this study, estradiol exposure in fetuses had an adverse effect on intrauterine development and could induce trochlear dysplasia and bone loss in rat offspring. In addition, this study also showed that the higher concentration of estradiol injection in pregnant rats, the more incidence of trochlear dysplasia in rat offspring.

    Abstract We report the rational design of the matrix-free carbon dots (C-dots) with long wavelength and wavelength-tunable room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Taking advantage of microwave-assisted heating treatment, three RTP C-dots in boric acid (BA) composites are synthesized by using diethylenetriaminepentakis (methylphosphonic acid) as a multiple-sites crosslink agent, a moderately acid catalyst and P source; phenylenediamines (either o-PD, m-PD, or p-PD, respectively) as building block while BA as a carbonization-retardant matrix. After the water-soluble BA matrix is removed by dialysis, three matrix-free C-dots are obtained with RTP emission at 540, 550 and 570 nm under an excitation wavelength of 365 nm. Alterations of RTP emission of three matrix-free C-dots are ascribed to the difference in their particle size and band gap from n-π* transition. Furthermore, the application of three matrix-free C-dots are successfully performed in information encryption and decryption.

    Abstract This study takes Green Credit Guidelines in China as a quasi-natural experiment to examine its effect on the quality of green innovation in heavily polluting enterprises. Based on the data of Chinese listed companies from 2008 to 2019, DID model, and a series of robustness tests, findings show that Green Credit Guidelines significantly improve the quality of enterprises' green innovation. The positive effect is more significant in state-owned enterprises and those in the eastern region and less financially developed areas. The officials' promotion pressure and fiscal decentralization have negative and positive moderating effects, respectively. Additional analysis demonstrates that the quality improvement of enterprises’ green innovation can further increase their economic returns. Specifically, the competitiveness and market value of enterprise products are enhanced. The results provide enterprises with theoretical guidance on how to deal with environmental regulation. The results also provide countries around the world, especially developing countries, with important reference to implement green credit policy to achieve sustainable development.

    Abstract Background: Whether heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with an increased risk of developing systolic dysfunction and a poor prognosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients is unknown.
    Objective: We aimed to assess risk factors for the development of end-stage (ES) heart failure (HF) (ejection fraction < 50%) and compare the prognosis of different HF phenotypes.
    Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on patients with HCM in China between January 2009 and February 2023. Patients were stratified into three different groups: HCM-non-HF, HCM-HFpEF and HCM-heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HCM-HFrEF). The primary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including all-cause deaths, HF hospitalization, sudden cardiac death and ventricular tachycardia.
    Results: Of 3,620 HCM patients enrolled, 1,553 (42.9%) had non-HF, 1,666 (46.0%) had HFpEF, and 579 patients (11.1%) had HFrEF at baseline. During the median follow-up period of 4.0 years (IQR 1.4-9.4 years), patients with HCM-HFpEF exhibited a higher incidence of ES-HF than those with HCM-non-HF (12.4% vs. 2.7%, P < 0.001). HFpEF was an independent risk factor for ES-HF development (HR 3.84, 2.54-5.80, P < 0.001). MACEs occurred in 26.9% with a higher incidence in HCM-HFpEF than HCM-non-HF (36.6% vs 12.2%, P < 0.001). HFpEF was an independent predictor of MACEs (HR 2.13, 1.75-2.59, P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: HFpEF is common in HCM. Compared to non-HF, it increases the risk of LVEF decline and poor prognosis. It may aid in risk stratification and need close echocardiography follow-up.

    Abstract Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is a worldwide zoonosis. The aim of the present study was to detect the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection and associated risk factors among Siberian tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) and giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in China. Blood samples from 112 Siberian tigers and 22 giant pandas were tested for immunoglobulin G (IgG) against T. gondii by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The seroprevalence of T. gondii infection was 7.14% among Siberian tigers and 9.09% among giant pandas. No risk factors were found to be significantly associated with seroprevalence (P > 0.05). This is the first study to evaluate T. gondii infection in Siberian tigers on a large scale in China, and it also updates the information regarding the positivity rate of T. gondii infection among giant pandas in China.

    Abstract Although soil and rhizosphere microbiomes in highly saline environments have been well-studied, the role of soil salinity in the ecological processes affecting endophyte colonization and persistence remain largely unclear in halophytic plants. The present study sampled young and mature plants of the halophyte Suaeda salsa from 42 sites in the Yellow River Delta, China that varied in soil salinity. Soil physicochemical properties, root and leaf microbiomes, phylogenetic variation among plant ecotypes, and leaf metabolites were analysed. In the roots of both young and mature plants, soil salinity significantly influenced the composition of the endophytic microbiota (r = 0.29 ∼ 0.45, P < 0.001), and negatively correlated with endophyte alpha-diversity (r = -0.75 ∼ -0.78, P < 0.001). Leaf microbiome dissimilarity increased with geographic distance (r = 0.17 ∼ 0.26, P < 0.001), based on a distance-decay model, and was associated with plant phylogenetic variation (r = 0.15, P = 0.015 for young plants only). Additionally, leaf microbiome diversity and composition were correlated with soil age, pH, P content, and certain leaf metabolite compounds, but not with soil salinity. The dominant genera observed in young roots were Mesorhizobium spp. and Rhodomicrobium spp., while Pelagibius spp. was dominant in mature roots, and Pseudomonas spp. and Kushneria spp. were dominant in leaves. Soil salinity exerted a strong deterministic effect on the diversity and composition of the root endophyte community, while the acquisition and assembly of the leaf microbiome was affected by the dispersal effects, and the leaf metabolism of the host halophyte.
