    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma, classified as intrahepatic, perihilar, and extrahepatic, is considered a deadly malignancy of the hepatobiliary system. Most cases of cholangiocarcinoma are asymptomatic. Therefore, early detection of cholangiocarcinoma is significant but still challenging. The routine screening of a tumor lacks specificity and accuracy. With the application of AI, high-risk patients can be easily found by analyzing their clinical characteristics, serum biomarkers, and medical images. Moreover, AI can be used to predict the prognosis including recurrence risk and metastasis. Although they have some limitations, AI algorithms will still significantly improve many aspects of cholangiocarcinoma in the medical field with the development of computing power and technology.

    Abstract Objective: Some epidemiological studies have investigated the associations between aging and constipation, yet their outcomes are inconclusive, so we strive to ascertain whether aging is the cause of constipation.
    Methods: We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using publicly accessible genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics. As a marker of cellular and biological aging, we employed 15 single-nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables for leukocyte telomere length (LTL) as exposure and a GWAS for constipation in the Finnish database as an outcome. To select the instrumental variables strongly associated with the phenotype, we eliminated confounding factors and direct effects outcomes to determine the causal relationship of exposure factors on the outcome; the analysis was mainly performed using the random-effect inverse variance weighting method, MR-Egger, weighted median, and sensitivity analysis of the results.
    Results: Random effect inverse variance weighted odds ratio = 1.035 (95% CI 0.907-1.180), but
    Conclusion: LTL as a proxy for aging does not necessarily indicate an increased likelihood of constipation. Further research is needed to explore the specific mechanisms of constipation.

    Abstract Objective: Elongated styloid process (ESP) and carotid web are rare etiologies of ischemic stroke. We report a rare case of ESP concomitant with carotid web as the cause of recurrent stroke.
    Case presentation: A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with recurrent numbness and weakness in the right upper extremity. The patient had a long-standing history of lightheadedness and left-side amaurosis with neck flexion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed scattered infarctions in the left frontal and parietal lobes. After multi-modal imaging we determined that embolic cerebral infarction was most likely to be secondary to the carotid web. Moreover, ESP causes dynamic hypoperfusion during neck flexion. We believe that this is a good reason for dealing with both pathologies during the same surgery. Thus, carotid endarterectomy and styloid process resection were performed at the same time. The previous symptoms during the head position change did not recur, and the right hand weakness was resolved.
    Conclusion: ESP and carotid web are unusual mechanisms of ischemic stroke. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent subsequent severe strokes.

    Abstract This paper reports on CFD modeling of the fuel/air mixing characteristics of liquid ammonia under direct injection engine-relevant conditions. Several questions are addressed including, whether the widely used Lagrange particle tracking (LPT) spray models developed for traditional fossil fuels are suitable for ammonia spray, whether certain improvement of the current models should be introduced, and under what conditions the improvement of models needs to be considered. It is found that liquid ammonia spray characteristics can be well reproduced by the current Lagrange-based spray models under non-flash boiling conditions. However, there are obvious gaps between measurements and predictions under strong flash boiling conditions. A strong flash boiling region is found near the nozzle while its intensity decreases downstream due to the significant cooling effect of ammonia spray, and initial superheat degree defined as the ratio of ambient pressure to the saturation vapor pressure at initial fuel temperature, can be adopted to determine the boundary of flash boiling model that needs to be employed in the modeling of liquid ammonia spray. Spray included angle is a crucial parameter within the LPT simulation framework to reproduce the collapse effect for multi-plume sprays. The flash model considering only the evaporation promotion effect cannot replicate the ammonia spray characteristics and it does not result in obvious differences compared with the results from the normal evaporation model. Liquid ammonia is a thermal sensitive fuel and has a strong tendency of flash boiling, and a more accurate flash boiling model that considers the thermal breakup effect should be proposed to accurately predict ammonia fuel/air mixing characteristics under wide engine-relevant conditions.

    Abstract Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are relatively rare malignancies with a poor prognosis. For advanced BTCs, the efficacy of current chemotherapeutic approaches is limited. Consequently, there is an urgent need to deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying BTC tumorigenesis and development for the exploration of effective targeted therapies. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant RNA modifications in eukaryotes, is found usually dysregulated and involved in tumorigenesis, progression, and drug resistance in tumors. Numerous studies have confirmed that aberrant m6A regulators function as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors in BTCs by the reversible regulation of RNA metabolism, including splicing, export, degradation and translation. In this review, we summarized the current roles of the m6A regulators and their functional impacts on RNA fate in BTCs. The improved understanding of m6A modification in BTCs also provides a reasonable outlook for the exploration of new diagnostic strategies and efficient therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and its incidence is increasing every year. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) caused by protein misfolding has broad and profound effects on the progression and metastasis of various cancers. Accumulating evidence suggests that ERS is closely related to the occurrence and progression of ccRCC. This study aimed to identify ERS-related genes for evaluating the prognosis of ccRCC.
    Methods: Transcriptomic expression profiles were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and clinical data were downloaded from the TCGA. First, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed using the limma package, and the DEGs related to ERS (ERS-DEGs) were identified from the GeneCards database. Second, a function and pathway enrichment analysis and a Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were performed. Third, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to identify the hub genes, and a gene-micro RNA (miRNA) network and gene-transcription factor (TF) network were established using the hub genes. Finally, a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was conducted to establish a diagnostic model, and a Cox analysis was used to analyze the correlations between the expression of the characteristic genes and the clinical characteristics.
    Results: We identified 11 signature genes and established a diagnostic model. Further, the Cox analysis results revealed a correlation between the expression levels of the signature genes and the clinical characteristics. Ultimately, five signature genes (i.e.,

    Abstract Gallbladder cancer is a rare but fatal malignancy. However, the mechanisms underlying gallbladder carcinogenesis and its progression are poorly understood. The function of m6A modification and its regulators was still unclear for gallbladder cancer. The current study seeks to investigate the function of YTH m6A RNA-binding protein 1 (YTHDF1) in gallbladder cancer. Transcriptomic analysis and immunochemical staining of YTHDF1 in gallbladder cancer tissues revealed its upregulation compared to paracancerous tissues. Moreover, YTHDF1 promotes the proliferation assays, Transwell migration assays, and Transwell invasion assays of gallbladder cancer cells in vitro. And it also increased tumour growth in xenograft mouse model and metastases in tail vein injection model in vivo. In vitro, UHRF1 knockdown partly reversed the effects of YTHDF1 overexpression. Mechanistically, dual-luciferase assays proved that YTHDF1 promotes UHRF1 expression via direct binding to the mRNA 3'-UTR in a m6A-dependent manner. Overexpression of YTHDF1 enhanced UHRF1 mRNA stability, as demonstrated by mRNA stability assays, and Co-IP studies confirmed a direct interaction between YTHDF1 and PABPC1. Collectively, these findings provide new insights into the progression of gallbladder cancer as well as a novel post-transcriptional mechanism of YTHDF1 via stabilizing target mRNA.

    Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic RNA and involved in the carcinogenesis of various malignancies. However, the functions and mechanisms of m6A in gallbladder cancer (GBC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the role and underlying mechanism of the RNA-binding protein YT521-B homology domain-containing family protein 2 (YTHDF2), an m6A reader, in GBC. Herein, we detected that YTHDF2 was remarkably upregulated in GBC tissues compared to normal gallbladder tissues. Functionally, YTHDF2 overexpression promoted the proliferation, tumor growth, migration, and invasion of GBC cells while inhibiting the apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, YTHDF2 knockdown induced opposite results. Mechanistically, we further investigated the underlying mechanism by integrating RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq), m6A-modified RIP-seq, and RNA sequencing, which revealed that death-associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3) is a direct target of YTHDF2. YTHDF2 binds to the 3'-UTR of DAPK3 mRNA and facilitates its degradation in an m6A-dependent manner. DAPK3 inhibition restores the tumor-suppressive phenotype induced by YTHDF2 deficiency. Moreover, the YTHDF2/DAPK3 axis induces the resistance of GBC cells to gemcitabine. In conclusion, we reveal the oncogenic role of YTHDF2 in GBC, demonstrating that YTHDF2 increases the mRNA degradation of the tumor suppressor DAPK3 in an m6A-dependent way, which promotes GBC progression and desensitizes GBC cells to gemcitabine. Our findings provide novel insights into potential therapeutic strategies for GBC.
