    Abstract As time has passed following the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have gradually exhibited a variety of symptoms associated with long COVID in the postacute phase of infection. Simultaneously, in many countries worldwide, the process of population aging has been accelerating. Within this context, the elderly population has not only become susceptible and high-risk during the acute phase of COVID-19 but also has considerable risks when confronting long COVID. Elderly individuals possess specific immunological backgrounds, and during the process of aging, their immune systems can enter a state known as "immunosenescence". This further exacerbates "inflammaging" and the development of various comorbidities in elderly individuals, rendering them more susceptible to long COVID. Additionally, long COVID can inflict both physical and mental harm upon elderly people, thereby reducing their overall quality of life. Consequently, the impact of long COVID on elderly people should not be underestimated. This review seeks to summarize the infection characteristics and intrinsic factors of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the physical and mental impact of long COVID. Additionally, it aims to explore potential strategies to mitigate the risk of long COVID or other emerging infectious diseases among older adults in the future.

    Abstract Background: This study examined the associations of diet quality assessed by Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015), Alternative Healthy Eating Index 2010 (AHEI-2010), Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study used data of participants aged 2-19 years from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2018. The weighted logistic regression model was adopted to explore the association between diet quality scores and overweight, obesity in children and adolescents. Subgroup analysis was also performed based on sex.
    Results: A total of 9,724 participants were included in children group (2-11 years old), and 5,934 were adolescent group (12-19 years old). All participants were divided into based on the BMI-for-age: underweight and normal, overweight and obesity groups. After adjusting for age, race, poverty-income ratio, maternal smoking during pregnancy and total energy, HEI-2015 and MedDiet scores were related to the risk of overweight in children, and only MedDiet scores remained associated with a decreased risk of obesity in children. MedDiet scores were associated with a decreased risk of overweight, obesity in adolescents, respectively, after adjusting age, sex, race, poverty-income ratio, cotinine, total energy and physical activity. The similar results in male participants were also found.
    Conclusion: Higher MedDiet scores were associated with lower the risk of overweight and obesity, respectively, particularly for male children and adolescents. The higher HEI-2015 scores were also related to the risk of overweight in children.

    Abstract In this study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and experimental methods were adopted to evaluate MnO₂ with 5 different facets for their selective adsorption of Pb (II) from wastewater containing Cd (II), Cu (II), Pb (II), and Zn (II). The DFT calculations were performed to screen the selective adsorption capability of the facets and demonstrated that the MnO₂ (3 1 0) facet has an excellent performance in selective adsorption of Pb (II) among all facets. The validity of DFT calculations was verified by comparing with the experimental results. MnO₂ with different facets was prepared in a controlled manner and the characterizations confirmed that the lattice indices of the fabricated MnO₂ have the desired facets. Adsorption performance experiments illustrated a high adsorption capacity (320.0 mg/g) on the (3 1 0) facet MnO₂. The selectivity of adsorption of Pb (II) was 3–32 times greater than that of the other coexisting ions, i.e., Cd (II), Cu (II), and Zn (II)), which is consistent with results of the DFT calculations. Furthermore, results of DFT calculations on adsorption energy, charge density difference, and projected density of states (PDOS) showed that the adsorption of Pb (II) on the MnO₂ (3 1 0) facet is non-activated chemisorption. This study shows that it is feasible to use DFT calculations to quickly screen suitable adsorbents for environmental applications.

    Abstract Background: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies enable the capture of gene expression heterogeneity and consequently facilitate the study of cell-to-cell variability at the cell type level. Although different methods have been proposed to quantify cell-to-cell variability, it is unclear what the optimal statistical approach is, especially in light of challenging data structures that are unique to scRNA-seq data like zero inflation.
    Results: We systematically evaluate the performance of 14 different variability metrics that are commonly applied to transcriptomic data for measuring cell-to-cell variability. Leveraging simulations and real datasets, we benchmark the metric performance based on data-specific features, sparsity and sequencing platform, biological properties, and the ability to recapitulate true levels of biological variability based on known gene sets. Next, we use scran, the metric with the strongest all-round performance, to investigate changes in cell-to-cell variability that occur during B cell differentiation and the aging processes. The analysis of primary cell types from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and B lymphopoiesis reveals unique gene signatures with consistent patterns of variable and stable expression profiles during B cell differentiation which highlights the significance of these methods. Identifying differentially variable genes between young and old cells elucidates the regulatory changes that may be overlooked by solely focusing on mean expression changes and we investigate this in the context of regulatory networks.
    Conclusions: We highlight the importance of capturing cell-to-cell gene expression variability in a complex biological process like differentiation and aging and emphasize the value of these findings at the level of individual cell types.

    Abstract Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool for studying transcriptomics. Here, we present an optimized protocol for dissociating human scalp tissue and acquiring high-quality single-cell suspension for scRNA-seq to study transcriptomics of human hair follicles. We describe steps for human scalp tissue cleaning, subcutaneous fat removal, mechanical mincing, and enzymatic digestion. We then detail procedures for cleaning, resuspending, a cell viability assay, and library construction.

    Abstract A DMP-initiated metal-free effective β,γ-asymmetric spirocyclopropanation of propanols strategy using oxidative iminium activation is described. This process has been realized by a synergistic amine-catalyzed one-pot cascade oxidation-Michael addition cyclopropanation for "one-pot" access to various spirocyclopropyl propionaldehydes/propanols from diverse 3-arylpropanols and α-brominated active methylene compounds under mild conditions and with high enantioselectivity (ee up to >99%).
