    Abstract Globally, over 287 million tons of plastic are disposed in landfills, rivers, and oceans or are burned every year. The results are devastating to our ecosystems, wildlife and human health. One promising remedy is the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor larvae), which has proved capable of degrading microplastics (MPs). This paper presents a new investigation into the biodegradation of aged polyethylene (PE) film and polystyrene (PS) foam by the Tenebrio molitor larvae. After a 35 - day feeding period, both pristine and aged MPs can be consumed by larvae. Even with some inhibitions in larvae growth due to the limited nutrient supply of aged MPs, when compared with pristine MPs, the aged MPs were depolymerized more efficiently in gut microbiota based on gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. With the change in surface chemical properties, the metabolic intermediates of aged MPs contained more oxygen-containing functional groups and shortened long-chain alkane, which was confirmed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). High-throughput sequencing revealed that the richness and diversity of gut microbes were restricted in the MPs-fed group. Although MPs had a negative effect on the relative abundance of the two dominant bacteria Enterococcaceae and Lactobacillaceae, the aged MPs may promote the relative abundance of Enterobacteriaceae and Streptococcaceae. Redundancy analysis (RDA) further verified that the aged MPs are effectively biodegraded by yellow mealworm. This work provides new insights into insect-mediated mechanisms of aged MP degradation and promising strategies for MP sustainable and efficient solutions.

    Abstract Cervical cancer is a significant global health concern, and novel therapeutic strategies are continually being sought to combat this disease. In recent years, selenadiazole found latent therapeutic effects on tumors. Herein, investigating the mechanism of selenadiazole in Hela cells holds promise for advancing cervical cancer treatment. Hela cells, a widely utilized model for studying cervical cancer, were treated with selenadiazole, and cell viability was assessed by using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated using JC-1 staining, while apoptosis induction was examined using AnnexinV-PI double staining. Intracellular ROS levels were measured by using specific fluorescent probes and the ELIASA system. Additionally, Western blotting was performed to assess the activation of related proteins in response to selenadiazole. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad. Exposure to selenadiazole led to a substantial increase in intracellular redox oxygen species (ROS) levels in Hela cells. Importantly, the induction of ROS by selenadiazole was associated with a marked increase in mitochondrial apoptosis, as evidenced by elevated levels of AnnexinV-positive cells, the JC-1 monomer, caspase-9, and Bcl-2. Furthermore, activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway was observed following the selenadiazole treatment. Selenadiazole holds the potential to suppress tumor growth in cervical cancer cells by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and inducing mitochondrial apoptosis via the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. This study offers valuable insights into potential cervical cancer therapies and underscores the need for further research into the specific mechanisms of selenadiazole.

    Abstract Health literacy may constitute a modifiable determinant of smoking behavior and intention to quit. Little is known about the extent to which health literacy affects smoking or quitting smoking. We assessed the nationally representative cross-sectional datasets from the China Health Literacy Surveillance (CHLS) initiated in 2018. Using polytomous logistic regression models, the study investigated the association of health literacy with smoking behavior and the intention to quit smoking among men aged 15-69 in China. After confounding factors were controlled, compared with having below basic health literacy, having adequate health literacy appeared to be an independent protective factor from current smoking [current smoking vs never smoking: adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.88; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.81-0.96; p = 0.003; current smoking vs former smoking: adjusted OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.64-0.92; p = 0.003], while having intermediate health literacy was associated with current smoking vs never smoking (adjusted OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02-1.17; p = 0.011) or former smoking vs never smoking (adjusted OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.06-1.40; p = 0.005). And having adequate health literacy was associated with intending to quit among current smokers (adjusted OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.10-1.42; p < 0.001). Findings provide evidence that health literacy may serve as a critical and independent protective factor for reducing poor smoking behavior or enhancing cessation intention among men. Efforts should focus on developing and evaluating intervention to control tobacco use among men with low health literacy level.

    Abstract Background: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is a common malignancy worldwide developed in the female reproductive system, which can be life-threatening due to metastasis and poor prognosis. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) play key roles in ubiquitin-proteasome system. As a member of DUBs, the ubiquitin-specific protease 5 (USP5) has been found to be an oncogene in several cancers. This study aims to explore the function of USP5 in UCEC.
    Materials and methods: Clinical significance of USP5 was assessed from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) UCEC dataset. Knockdown and overexpression were performed by transfecting the cells with siRNAs and pCDNA3.1 vectors, respectively. CCK8, colony formation, wound healing, transwell, PI, and PI/annexin V staining were conducted to check the effect of USP5 on cellular biology function. Western blot assay was used to detect protein expression.
    Results: USP5 was upregulated in UCEC patients. Its downregulation led to decreased migration and proliferation of UCEC cells, and meanwhile, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were induced. By contrast, USP5 overexpression significantly promoted cell migration and cell mitosis. Further study revealed that USP5 could cause hyperactivation of mTOR/4EBP1 pathway and rapamycin treatment could totally reverse the effects of UPS5 overexpression.
    Conclusion: Our data demonstrated that USP5 functioned as an oncogene in UCEC, which provided new insights into the pathogenesis of UCEC and a promising molecular target for UCEC diagnosis and therapy.

    Abstract Spatial dynamic panel data (SDPD) models have received great attention in economics in recent 10 years. Existing approaches for the estimation and test of SDPD models are quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) approach and generalized method of moments (GMM). In this article, we introduce the empirical likelihood (EL) method to the statistical inference for SDPD models. The EL ratio statistics are constructed for the parameters of spatial dynamic panel data models. It is shown that the limiting distributions of the empirical likelihood ratio statistics are chi-squared distributions, which are used to construct confidence regions for the parameters of the models. Simulation results show that the EL based confidence regions outperform the normal approximation based confidence regions.
