    Abstract tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a new category of regulatory small non-coding RNA existing in almost all branches of life, have recently attracted broad attention. Increasing evidence has shown that tsRNAs are not random degradation debris of tRNAs, but products cleaved by specific endoribonucleases, with versatile functions in response to various developmental and environmental cues. However, it is still unclear about the diversity, biogenesis and function of tsRNAs in plants. In this study, we comprehensively profiled 10-60 nts small RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana leaf with or without wounding stress and identified four 16 nts tiny tRFs (tRNA-derived fragments) sharply increased after wounding, namely tRF

    Abstract This study retrospectively explored the effectiveness of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with Qianzhengsan decoction (QZSD) for the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis (PFP). This retrospective study included patients with PFP admitted to a single hospital between July 2018 and June 2020. Ninety patients were included and divided into treatment (n = 45) and control (n = 45) groups. All the patients in both groups received oral prednisone tablets and mecobalamin. In addition, patients in the treatment group received EA and QZSD. The outcomes were the overall response rate, facial nerve function, facial nerve electromyography, and adverse events. All outcome data were analyzed before and after treatment. Patients in the treatment group achieved better outcomes than those in the control group in improving overall response rate (P = .04), facial nerve function (P < .01), and facial nerve electromyography (P < .01). Patients in both groups reported adverse events. The results of this study showed that patients with PFP and QZSD received better outcomes than those who did not. Further studies are required to confirm these results.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of dexamethasone (DX) on axonal injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) combined with seawater drowning (SWD) in rats.
    Methods: To gain an in-depth understanding of TBI + SWD in rats, we established the compound injury model of rats by the Marmarou method and intratracheal pumping of seawater to simulate the pathological conditions. Rats in the DX group received intraperitoneal injections of DX (1 mg/kg) immediately after injury, and rats in the sham group and TBI + SWD group received intraperitoneal injections of the same amount of normal saline.
    Results: Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) showed that DX improved matrix looseness, cell swelling, and nuclear condensation 168 hours after injury. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining showed that the protein expression of AQP4 was decreased in the DX group compared with the TBI + SWD group from 12 hours to 168 hours after injury. DX decreased the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) significantly at 24 hours and 168 hours after injury (P < 0.05). At 72 h and 168 h after injury, DX significantly lowered the expressions of IL-8 and TNF-α (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: DX may play a neuroprotective role by reducing cerebral edema and inflammatory response after TBI + SWD injury in rats.

    Abstract Megacities play important roles in countries' politics, economy, culture, etc. Exploring the law of urban expansion of megacities has important reference for sustainable urbanization. Here, the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban expansion were quantified analyzed in 21 Chinese megacities from 2000 to 2020 with quantitative measurement indicators and explored the human-land synergistic relationship used the decoupling model. Results are as follows: (1) China's megacities experienced significant expansion, and urban expansion characterized as rapid initially but slowed down thereafter. (2) Urban expansion in megacities was characterized as having significant spatial differences, and rapidly expanding megacity centers moved from eastern to midwestern China. (3) Urban spatial expansion of megacities was mainly an enclave type in 2000-2010 and marginal type in 2010-2020. (4) The main type of human-land synergistic relationship in megacities were weak decoupling, there is a significant increase in expansive coupling and expansive negative decoupling in 2010-2020; (5) Lastly, human-land synergy relationship in most megacities was uncoordinated based on the per capita urban land area and decoupling type. The findings of this study can deepen the understanding of the characteristics and quality of urbanization evolution, and provides reference for high-quality development planning and decision-making in megacities.

    Abstract Background: Serum creatinine is a prognostic marker for various conditions, but its significance of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage is still poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the correlation between admission serum creatinine (sCr) levels and all-cause mortality within 30 days among individuals affected by non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
    Methods: This cohort study included 672 non-traumatic SAH adults. It utilized data from the MIMIC-IV database from 2008 to 2019. The patients' first-time serum creatinine was recorded. Subsequently, an examination of the 30-day all-cause mortality was conducted. Employing a multiple logistic regression model, a nomogram was constructed, while the association between sCr and 30-day all-cause mortality was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The calibration curve was employed to assess the model's performance, while subgroup analysis was employed to examine the impact of additional complications and medication therapy on outcomes.
    Results: A total of 672 patients diagnosed with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage were included in the study. The mortality rate within this timeframe was found to be 24.7%. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that sCr served as an independent prognostic indicator for all-cause mortality within 30 days of admission for SAH patients [OR: 2(1.18-3.41);
    Conclusion: Creatinine emerges as a significant biomarker, closely associated with heightened in-hospital mortality in individuals suffering from SAH.

    Abstract Brain tumors are among the most prevalent neoplasms in current medical studies. Accurately distinguishing and classifying brain tumor types accurately is crucial for patient treatment and survival in clinical practice. However, existing computer-aided diagnostic pipelines are inadequate for practical medical use due to tumor complexity. In this study, we curated a multi-centre brain tumor dataset that includes various clinical brain tumor data types, including segmentation and classification annotations, surpassing previous efforts. To enhance brain tumor segmentation accuracy, we propose a new segmentation method: HSA-Net. This method utilizes the Shared Weight Dilated Convolution module (SWDC) and Hybrid Dense Dilated Convolution module (HDense) to capture multi-scale information while minimizing parameter count. The Effective Multi-Dimensional Attention (EMA) and Important Feature Attention (IFA) modules effectively aggregate task-related information. We introduce a novel clinical brain tumor computer-aided diagnosis pipeline (CAD) that combines HSA-Net with pipeline modification. This approach not only improves segmentation accuracy but also utilizes the segmentation mask as an additional channel feature to enhance brain tumor classification results. Our experimental evaluation of 3327 real clinical data demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method, achieving an average Dice coefficient of 86.85 % for segmentation and a classification accuracy of 95.35 %. We also validated the effectiveness of our proposed method using the publicly available BraTS dataset.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the clinical viability of utilizing the flexor hallucis brevis as an alternative site for neuromuscular monitoring compared to the conventional adductor pollicis. Patients were recruited from three medical centers. Cis-atracurium was administered, and two monitors were employed independently to assess neuromuscular blockade of the adductor pollicis and the ipsilateral flexor hallucis brevis, following a train of four (TOF) pattern until TOF ratios exceeded 0.9 or until the conclusion of surgery. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in onset time, duration of no-twitch response, spontaneous recovery time, and total monitoring time between the two sites, with mean differences of -53.54 s, -2.49, 3.22, and 5.89 min, respectively (

    Abstract Electrochemistry is a sustainable technology for oil-water separation. In the common flat electrode scheme, due to a few centimeters away from the anode, oil droplets have to undergo electromigration to and electrical neutralization at the anodic surface before they coalesce into large oil droplets and rise to water surface, resulting in slow demulsification and easy anode fouling. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed on basis of a TiO

    Abstract Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has various effects on human cells and tissues, which can lead to a variety of skin diseases and cause inconvenience to people's lives. Among them, solar dermatitis is one of the important risk factors for malignant melanoma, so prevention and treatment of solar dermatitis is very necessary. Additionally, liquiritin (LQ) has anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and pro-wound healing effects of liquiritin carbomer gel cold paste (LQ-CG-CP) in vitro and in vivo. The results of MTT experiments showed no cytotoxicity of LQ at concentrations of 40 μg/mL and below and cell damage at UVB irradiation doses above 60 mJ/cm
