    Abstract This book summarizes the recent advances for the understanding of circadian clock system in the regulation of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. Basic knowledge in the field of circadian clock and pharmacokinetics are systemically introduced to make it easier for readers to understand the entire book's contents. The rhythmic expression of DMEs (drug-metabolizing enzymes) and transporters are summarized, and the underlying mechanisms thereof (i.e., regulation by circadian oscillators) are discussed. Typically, evidence for the DME- and transporter-mediated chronopharmacokinetics, chronotoxicity and chronoefficacy are highlighted in this book.

    Abstract Introduction: Previous research has found that value change and creation drive people to support the laborer more than the original owner in ownership reasoning for modified objects; however, the transfer methods used to resolve conflicts have largely been ignored. In this work, two studies were designed to investigate the role of value change and creation in adults' labor-based ownership judgments in four transfer conditions (i.e.,
    Methods: Scenarios involving different extent of value change and creation in different transfer ways were presented to Chinese adult subjects after which they were asked to judge who is the owner.
    Results: People were more likely to assign ownership to the original owner in the
    Conclusion: The results suggest the moderating role of transfer method in people's ownership assignments, which will provide insights for real-life mediation of ownership conflicts.

    Abstract Due to its high information density, DNA is very attractive as a data storage system. However, a major obstacle is the high cost and long turnaround time for retrieving DNA data with next-generation sequencing. Herein, the use of a microfluidic very large-scale integration (mVLSI) platform is described to perform highly parallel and rapid readout of data stored in DNA. Additionally, it is demonstrated that multi-state data encoded in DNA can be deciphered with on-chip melt-curve analysis, thereby further increasing the data content that can be analyzed. The pairing of mVLSI network architecture with exquisitely specific DNA recognition gives rise to a scalable platform for rapid DNA data reading.

    Abstract Background: Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the liver is a rare primary malignancy of the liver. The identification of lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma is very limited as there are currently very few reports of such cases. Although previous studies have reported the lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma pathologic features, few studies have revealed the clinic features, imaging characteristics, and clinical course and outcomes. This study was analyzed from multiple aspects such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and pathological characteristics, aiming to improve the comprehensive understanding of this rare subtype of disease.
    Case presentation: A 43-year-old female with a history of hepatitis B for over 20 years presented with a lesion found in the right lobe of her liver. After discussion by a multidisciplinary team (MDT), malignant tumors cannot be excluded based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound and MRI. Thus, we decided to perform surgery for the patient. Postoperative pathology confirmed lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. After 3 months of follow-up, the patient was still alive and no recurrence was observed.
    Conclusion: The purpose of this article is to describe a rare case of lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and analyze its contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced MRI features, which will be helpful for physicians in diagnosing this disease. From the perspective of CEUS, the wedge-shaped highly enhanced area around the lesion in the arterial phase appears to be inflammatory but looks malignant based on the extremely fast washout. The lesion showed a low signal on T1WI, a high signal on T2WI and DWI, and an abnormal perfusion shadow can be seen behind the lesion. In particular, this subtype of cholangiocarcinoma has a good prognosis, the clinician should improve the recognition of the disease to strive for early diagnosis and therapy.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D (3L and 5L) and SF-6Dv2 in a group of Chinese patients with late-on Pompe disease (PD), and compare their performance in this patient group.
    Methods: The data used in this study were obtained from a web-based and cross-sectional survey conducted in China. All participants completed the 3L, 5L, and SF-6Dv2. Information about their sociodemographic status and health conditions was also collected. The measurement properties were assessed by examining ceiling and floor effects, evaluating convergent validity, known-group validity, and test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] and Gwet's AC).
    Results: A total of 117 PD patients completed the questionnaire. All dimensions of the 3L showed strong ceiling effects, ranging between 17.1 and 42.7%. All three measures showed good test-retest reliability, with ICC values ranging from 0.85 to 0.87. The Gwet's AC values showed that four out of five dimensions of the 3L showed very good agreement. All hypothesized correlations between the 3L, 5L, SF-6Dv2, and items of WHODAS were supported, indicating satisfactory convergent validity. The 5L showed stronger correlations (|r|= 0.53-0.84) with WHODAS than the other two measures. The outcomes of ANOVA indicated that the 5L had higher F-statistics than the 3L and SF-6Dv2, indicating a stronger discriminant ability to differentiate most condition groups.
    Conclusion: The 5L demonstrates lower ceiling and floor effects, higher discriminant ability, and better convergent validity than the SF-6Dv2 and 3L in patients with PD. In addition, the 5L may generate a larger utility gain compared to the other two instruments when conducting cost-effectiveness analysis.

    Abstract While biomedical understandings of food and diet coupled with discourses on individual responsibility towards healthy food choices are nowadays prominent, other social and cultural meanings attached to food and diet are largely devalued. The limits of such a reductionist approach are more evident when related to the experiences of migrant and ethnic populations, whose alternative knowledge(s) and practices about food and health are especially neglected. A multicultural city with a public healthcare system inherited from the British colonial times and largely shaped by biomedical ideas of health, Hong Kong offers a lens into the limits of such a reductionist approach. Due to their vulnerability in the context of Hong Kong as shaped by intersecting social identities, 72 women from Pakistan were recruited to be our community partners in a community-based participatory action research project to investigate their health needs and concerns. 12 focus group discussions were conducted, exploring their experiences of "healthy" food and overweight especially related to their encounters with the Hong Kong public healthcare system, as these issues emerged as key health concerns within the community. Four major themes emerged: unmet expectations of care, health is beyond the individual, constraints to a healthy diet in the context of migration, and beyond health: food as care for diasporic women. This study highlights the limit of a reductionist approach to healthy food as merely based on nutrition and individual responsibility. It stresses the need of a counter-discourse in the field of public health, emphasizing not only alternative cultural ideas of health and food, but also enlarging the field of health in biomedical terms to embrace "care" and acknowledging the structural constraints shaping migrant and ethnic population's vulnerability in making "healthy" food choices.

    Abstract Abstract We aimed to utilize chaos game representation (CGR) for the investigation of microstate sequences and explore its potential as neurobiomarkers for psychiatric disorders. We applied our proposed method to a public dataset including 82 patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP) and 61 control subjects. Two time series were constructed: one using the microstate spacing distance in CGR and the other using complex numbers representing the microstate coordinates in CGR. Power spectral features of both time series and frequency matrix CGR (FCGR) were compared between groups and employed in a machine learning application. The four canonical microstates (A, B, C, and D) were identified using both shared and separate templates. Our results showed the microstate oscillatory pattern exhibited alterations in the FEP group. Using oscillatory features improved machine learning performance compared with classical features and FCGR. This study opens up new avenues for exploring the use of CGR in analyzing EEG microstate sequences. Features derived from microstate sequence CGR offer fine-grained neurobiomarkers for psychiatric disorders.

    Abstract A new species of the spionid genus Lindaspio Blake & Maciolek, 1992 was collected from a cold seep near the Hainan Island at a depth of 1758 m. Morphologically, Lindaspio polybranchiata sp. nov. differs from the congeners in having a narrow, folded caruncle and more neuropodial branchiae (from chaetiger 20). The 18S, COI, and 16S sequences of the new species have been submitted to GenBank. It is the first record of the genus Lindaspio from Chinese waters. A key to all species of Lindaspio is given.

    Abstract Petrolisthes lamarckii (Leach, 1821) and P. haswelli Miers, 1884 are a pair of sister species of porcelain crabs, both of which are common in the intertidal zone of southern China, typically found under rocks and in the crevices of coral reefs. However, the distribution, genetic relationship and diversity of the two species in China have not been rigorously studied. Meanwhile, P. lamarckii is considered as a complex of cryptic species due to their diverse morphological features. In this study, we identified 127 specimens of the P. lamarckii – P. haswelli complex (LH complex) and recognised a new species through morphological and molecular analysis. Furthermore, we constructed a time-calibrated phylogeny of the LH complex using three mitochondrial and two nuclear genes from all three species, finding that the divergence of the LH complex can be traced back to the Miocene epoch, and that the genetic diversity increased during the Mid-Pleistocene transition period. Glacial refugia formed during the Pleistocene climatic oscillations has been regarded as one of the contributing factors to the diversification of marine organisms in the north-western Pacific. Petrolisthes haswelli demonstrates a wide distribution along the southern coast of China, while other lineages display more restricted distributions. The research on the demographic history and gene flow of P. haswelli revealed that the Chinese coastal populations experienced an expansion event approximately 12.5 thousand years ago (Kya) and the asymmetrical gene flows were observed between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Qiongzhou Strait, respectively, which is likely influenced by the restriction of ocean currents.
