    Abstract Interspecific interactions are central to ecological research. Plants produce toxic plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) as a defense mechanism against herbivore overgrazing, prompting their gradual adaptation to toxic substances for tolerance or detoxification. P450 enzymes in herbivore livers bind to PSMs, whereas UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and glutathione S-transferase increase the hydrophobicity of the bound PSMs for detoxification. Intestinal microorganisms such as Bacteroidetes metabolize cellulase and other macromolecules to break down toxic components. However, detoxification is an overall response of the animal body, necessitating coordination among various organs to detoxify ingested PSMs. PSMs undergo detoxification metabolism through the liver and gut microbiota, evidenced by increased signaling processes of bile acids, inflammatory signaling molecules, and aromatic hydrocarbon receptors. In this context, we offer a succinct overview of how metabolites from the liver and gut microbiota of herbivores contribute to enhancing metabolic PSMs. We focused mainly on elucidating the molecular communication between the liver and gut microbiota involving endocrine, immune, and metabolic processes in detoxification. We have also discussed the potential for future alterations in the gut of herbivores to enhance the metabolic effects of the liver and boost the detoxification and metabolic abilities of PSMs.

    Abstract Background: Current indication for concomitant replacement of ascending aorta (AA) in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement is that AA diameter exceeds 45 mm. However, the impact of AA dilation (≥45 mm) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unclear.
    Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 467 consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVR from January 2016 to April 2021. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to identify risk factors for all-cause mortality. The primary endpoint was the all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoints were the occurrence of the aortic dissection and/or rupture.
    Results: One hundred patients (21.4%) presented preoperative AA ≥45 mm. The median age was 73 years for patients with AA ≥45 mm and 75 years for patients with AA <45 mm (P=0.021). The in-hospital mortality rate was 1.1%. There was no iatrogenic injury to the AA. Only one patient (0.2%) in AA <45 mm group experienced retrograde type B aortic dissection in the descending aorta. The median follow-up was 19 [16-34] months in patients with AA ≥45 mm and 27 [15-37] months in patients with AA <45 mm (P=0.152). No statistical difference was found between the two groups regarding the overall survival (92.5%±3.5%
    Conclusions: Transfemoral TAVR can be performed safely in patients with preoperative AA ≥45 mm with a low intraprocedural risk. The mid-term survival appears not to be affected by the presence of AA ≥45 mm, and adverse aortic events are rare.

    Abstract Background: Limited studies have focused on the performance of self-expandable valves (SEVs) and balloon-expandable valves (BEVs) in patients with dilatated ascending aorta (AA) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The present study compared the performance of widely used Edwards BEVs and domestic SEVs in patients with dilatated AA among Chinese population.
    Methods: We identified and reviewed 207 patients who had baseline AA diameter ≥40 mm and underwent transfemoral TAVR. Patients were divided into two groups: SEV and BEV. The SEVs were locally manufactured valves that have received Chinese regulatory approval (Venus-A, Taurus One, and VitaFlow), while the BEVs were Edwards Sapien XT and Sapien3. Procedural device success and post-procedural changes of AA diameters were compared.
    Results: The sample size of SEV group was larger than that of BEV group because BEVs were not available in China in the early clinical practice. The overall device success was slightly lower in SEV group compared with BEV group (84.2%
    Conclusions: In patients with dilatated AA who underwent TAVR, the type of THVs did not affect the procedural device success. BAV appeared to be a risk factor for both device failure and higher aortic expansion rate in these patients.

    Abstract Background: Development of secondary tumor after CART treatment is not well investigated. We report a pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patient who developed histiocytic sarcoma shortly after CART therapy.
    Case report: A 9-year-old boy diagnosed with relapsed B-ALL presenting the KRAS A146T mutation received autologous mouse-derived CD19 and CD22 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy at our center (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR2000032211). Thirty days post-CART therapy, the bone marrow showed complete remission. At 85 days post-CART therapy, the boy presented with fever and chills. An abdominal CT scan showed massive hepatomegaly with multiple low-density lesions in the liver. At 130 days post-CART therapy, a bone marrow smear showed abnormal proliferation of macrophages, some of which exhibited phagocytosis. On day 136 post-CART therapy, laparoscopic liver biopsy was performed, revealing multiple yellow-white lesions on the surface of the liver. Microscopically, multifocal lesions were observed, predominantly composed of cells with abundant cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical staining indicated histiocytic origin. Based on the immunohistochemical results, histiocytic sarcoma was diagnosed. The same cytogenetic markers were identified in histiocytic sarcoma.
    Conclusion: Our case illustrates a rare complication after CART therapy. The diagnosis and treatment of histiocytic sarcoma pose many challenges.

    Abstract Recording the trajectory of table tennis balls in real-time enables the analysis of the opponent's attacking characteristics and weaknesses. The current analysis of the ball paths mainly relied on human viewing, which lacked certain theoretical data support. In order to solve the problem of the lack of objective data analysis in the research of table tennis competition, a target detection algorithm-based table tennis trajectory extraction network was proposed to record the trajectory of the table tennis movement in video. The network improved the feature reuse rate in order to achieve a lightweight network and enhance the detection accuracy. The core of the network was the "feature store & return" module, which could store the output of the current network layer and pass the features to the input of the network layer at the next moment to achieve efficient reuse of the features. In this module, the Transformer model was used to secondarily process the features, build the global association information, and enhance the feature richness of the feature map. According to the designed experiments, the detection accuracy of the network was 96.8% for table tennis and 89.1% for target localization. Moreover, the parameter size of the model was only 7.68 MB, and the detection frame rate could reach 634.19 FPS using the hardware for the tests. In summary, the network designed in this paper has the characteristics of both lightweight and high precision in table tennis detection, and the performance of the proposed model significantly outperforms that of the existing models.

    Abstract In this paper, we investigate a user pairing problem in power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme-aided satellite networks. In the considered scenario, different satellite applications are assumed with various delay quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, and the concept of effective capacity is employed to characterize the effect of delay QoS limitations on achieved performance. Based on this, our objective was to select users to form a NOMA user pair and utilize resource efficiently. To this end, a power allocation coefficient was firstly obtained by ensuring that the achieved capacity of users with sensitive delay QoS requirements was not less than that achieved with an orthogonal multiple access (OMA) scheme. Then, considering that user selection in a delay-limited NOMA-based satellite network is intractable and non-convex, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm was employed for dynamic user selection. Specifically, channel conditions and delay QoS requirements of users were carefully selected as state, and a DRL algorithm was used to search for the optimal user who could achieve the maximum performance with the power allocation factor, to pair with the delay QoS-sensitive user to form a NOMA user pair for each state. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate that the proposed DRL-based user selection scheme can output the optimal action in each time slot and, thus, provide superior performance than that achieved with a random selection strategy and OMA scheme.
