    Abstract Background: Gallbladder stones are a common digestive system disease, but their diagnosis can be limited in some cases, especially in identifying "negative" stones, which may be difficult to recognize with traditional CT scans.
    Objective: This study aims to explore the advantages of dual-energy CT in diagnosing negative gallbladder stones through a unique case of gallbladder stones.
    Methods and results: A case of a 31-year-old female is described, who was diagnosed with gallbladder stones during a physical examination two years ago and occasionally experienced pain in the upper right abdomen. Dual-energy CT scanning revealed a mixed-density stone, approximately 2 cm in diameter, in the neck of the gallbladder, consisting of a calcified shell (positive stone) and a homogenous density nucleus (negative stone). Verified by dual-energy CT, single-energy images and spectral curves can very intuitively identify negative stones, demonstrating significantly superior performance compared to traditional CT.
    Conclusion: Dual-energy CT, through single-energy images and spectral curves, intuitively identifies negative gallbladder stones, showcasing significant advantages compared to traditional CT, and offers a valuable approach to enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of gallbladder stones.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, research on online learning platforms has exploded in quantity. More and more researchers are using these platforms to conduct A/B tests on the impact of different designs, and multiple scientific communities have emerged around studying the big data becoming available from these platforms. However, it is not yet fully understood how each type of research influences future scientific discourse within the broader field. To address this gap, this paper presents the first scientometric study on how researchers build on the contributions of these two types of online learning platform research (particularly in STEM education). We selected a pair of papers (one using A/B testing, the other conducting learning analytics (LA), on platform data of an online STEM education platform), published in the same year, by the same research group, at the same conference. We then analyzed each of the papers that cited these two papers, coding from the paper text (with inter-rater reliability checks) the reason for each citation made.
    Results: After statistically comparing the frequency of each category of citation between papers, we found that the A/B test paper was self-cited more and that citing papers built on its work directly more frequently, whereas the LA paper was more often cited without discussion.
    Conclusions: Hence, the A/B test paper appeared to have had a larger impact on future work than the learning analytics (LA) paper, even though the LA paper had a higher count of total citations with a lower degree of self-citation. This paper also established a novel method for understanding how different types of research make different contributions in learning analytics, and the broader online learning research space of STEM education.

    Abstract Background: Geographic distribution of dietary inflammatory index (DII) in China has not been thoroughly evaluated and evidence on the association between DII and hypertension among Chinese middle-aged and older population was inadequate.
    Objective: To investigate the geographic disparities of DII and its association with hypertension among Chinese middle-aged and elders.
    Methods: Data was from the China Adults Chronic Diseases and Nutrition Surveillance (CACDNS 2015) for middle-aged and older participants. The DII for each participant was determined through a combination of 3 days 24 h dietary recall interviews and a food frequency questionnaire. Spatial analysis was employed to investigate the geographic distribution of DII in China. Restricted cubic spline models and binary logistic regression analysis were used to assess the relationship between DII and hypertension. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was applied for identifying key hypertension-related factors, which was then included in the establishment of a risk prediction nomogram model, with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) being built to evaluate its discriminatory power for hypertension.
    Results: A total of 52,087 middle-aged and older participants were included in the study, among whom 36.6% had hypertension. it revealed that a clear spatial correlation in the national distribution of DII scores (Moran I: 0.252,
    Conclusion: In Chinese adults middle-aged and older, geographic disparities in dietary inflammatory potential are notable, with lower levels observed in the southeastern coastal regions of China and higher levels in the northwestern regions. Meanwhile, there is a positive association between the inflammatory potential of the diet and hypertension. Additional research is needed to investigate regional disparities in dietary inflammatory potential and pinpoint specific dietary patterns associated with lower inflammation.

    Abstract Growing crystallographically incommensurate and dissimilar organic materials is fundamentally intriguing but challenging for the prominent cross-correlation phenomenon enabling unique magnetic, electronic, and optical functionalities. Here, we report the growth of molecular layered magnet-in-ferroelectric crystals, demonstrating photomanipulation of interfacial ferroic coupling. The heterocrystals exhibit striking photomagnetization and magnetoelectricity, resulting in photomultiferroic coupling and complete change of their color while inheriting ferroelectricity and magnetism from the parent phases. Under a light illumination, ferromagnetic resonance shifts of 910 Oe are observed in heterocrystals while showing a magnetization change of 0.015 emu/g. In addition, a noticeable magnetization change (8% of magnetization at a 1,000 Oe external field) in the vicinity of ferro-to-paraelectric transition is observed. The mechanistic electric-field-dependent studies suggest the photoinduced ferroelectric field effect responsible for the tailoring of photo-piezo-magnetism. The crystallographic analyses further evidence the lattice coupling of a magnet-in-ferroelectric heterocrystal system.

    Abstract Objective: To develop a prediction equation for estimation physical activity level(PAL) based on the average daily steps in Chinese adults and to verify its prediction power.
    Methods: A total of 800 adults with no restriction on physical activity were recruited. Excluding those who wore Actigragh WGT3X-BT accelerometer continuously for less than 3 days, 743 subjects(324 males, 419 females, mean age 31.4 years) were finally included. Daily steps, time of low intensity physical activity(LPA), moderate physical activity(MPA) and vigorous physical activity(VPA) and physical activity energy expenditure(PAEE) were measured by the accelerometer. The method of external validation was adopted. The measured PAL calculated by basal metabolic rate(BMR) measured by indirect thermography(IC) and total energy expenditure(TEE) measured by doubly labeled water method was used as the gold standard. The consistency of the prediction formula was verified by Bland-Altman analysis and the accuracy was verified by the accurate.
    Results: The prediction equation was developed: PAL=1.17 + 0.000028 Steps. In the external verification, the mean difference was 0.05, the 95% consistency limit was(-0.26, 0.36), and the accuracy was 73%, indicating a good consistency.
    Conclusion: The prediction formula of PAL for Chinese adults based on the steps has good performance and can be applied to the management of physical activity and the prevention of obesity in Chinese adults.

    Abstract Gliomas are among the most common intracranial tumors which originated from neuroepithelial cells. Increasing evidence has revealed that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA module regulation and tumor-infiltrating immune cells play important regulatory roles in the occurrence and progression of gliomas. However, the precise underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Data on gliomas in The Cancer Genome Atlas lack normal control samples; to overcome this limitation, we combined 665 The Cancer Genome Atlas glioma RNA sequence datasets with 188 Genotype-Tissue Expression normal brain RNA sequences to construct an expression matrix profile after normalization. We systematically analyzed the expression of mRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs between gliomas and normal brain tissues. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were conducted to screen differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs. A prognostic miRNA-related competitive endogenous RNA network was constructed, and the core subnetworks were filtered using 6 miRNAs, 3 lncRNAs, and 11 mRNAs. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed to investigate the biological functions of significantly dysregulated mRNAs. Co-expression network analysis was performed to analyze and screen the core genes. Furthermore, single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and immune checkpoint gene expression analysis were performed, as co-expression analysis indicated immune gene dysregulation in glioma. Finally, the expression of representative dysregulated genes was validated in U87 cells at the transcriptional level, establishing a foundation for further research. We identified 7017 mRNAs, 437 lncRNAs, and 9 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in gliomas. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed 5684 mRNAs, 61 lncRNAs, and 7 miRNAs with potential as prognostic signatures in patients with glioma. The hub subnetwork of the competing endogenous RNA network between PART1-hsa-mir-25-SLC12A5/TACC2/BSN/TLN2/ZDHHC8 was screened out. Gene co-expression network, single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, and immune checkpoint expression analysis demonstrated that tumor-infiltrating immune cells are closely related to gliomas. We identified novel potential biomarkers to predict survival and therapeutic targets for patients with gliomas based on a large-scale sample. Importantly, we filtered pivotal genes that provide valuable information for further exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying glioma tumorigenesis and progression.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Modified Bushen Yiqi formula (MBYF) has shown efficacy as an herbal combination therapy with anti-PD-1 for lung cancer patients. However, the underlying mechanisms of its antitumor effects in lung cancer remain unclear.
    Aim of the study: This study aims to observe the antitumor effect of MBYF and explore its synergistic mechanism in combination with anti-PD-1 based on the tumor immune microenvironment.
    Materials and methods: The antitumor effect of MBYF was assessed in Lewis Lung Cancer (LLC)-bearing mice by evaluating tumor volume, weight, and histology in five groups (model control, MBYF 8.125 g/kg, MBYF 16.25 g/kg, MBYF 32.50 g/kg, anti-PD-1). Mechanisms were analyzed using pharmacology network and tumor RNA-sequencing. Tumor-infiltrating immune cells were measured by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Targets and pathways were validated through qRT-PCR, immuno-histochemistry, and western blotting. The synergistic effect of MBYF in combination with anti-PD-1 was validated in three groups (model control, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-1+MBYF 16.25 g/kg).
    Results: MBYF inhibited tumor growth and proliferation and demonstrated safety for the heart, liver, and kidney. Mechanistically, MBYF downregulated tumor proliferation by suppressing the expression of CCND1, CTNNB1, EGFR, and the PI3K-AKT/STAT3/ERK pathway. Furthermore, MBYF may upregulated the antitumor immunity (CD4+T cells, active CD8+ T cells, and NK cells) by reducing the infiltration of M2-TAMs and PMN-MDSCs. MBYF may inhibit the recruitment of M2-TAMs by downregulating the CCR5-CCLs axis and PMN-MDSCs by the CXCR2-CXCLs axis. In vivo study confirmed that MBYF enhanced the antitumor effect of anti-PD-1 therapy.
    Conclusion: Modified Bushen Yiqi formula enhances antitumor immunity in the treatment of lung cancer by reducing the chemotactic recruitment of M2-TAMs and PMN-MDSCs, suggesting its potential as an adjunct therapy to enhance anti-PD-1 responses and improve treatment outcomes. Further research and clinical studies are needed to validate and expand upon these promising findings.
