    Abstract This article contributes to the large-scale engineering scholarship by revealing the labor practices involved and the state's role in shaping them. It provides a history of labor formation through earthwork technology in China's 1950s Huai River Control Project. The Communist Party's approach to engineering and labor differed from its Nationalist predecessor's. The party mobilized millions of peasants to dig and move an astronomical amount of soil in a few years. This herculean feat was made possible by promoting "work methods" to encourage peasants' self-Taylorization. The campaign aimed to cultivate a habit to work efficiently in mass-scale collaboration under external instructions. Through promoting work methods, state-appointed cadres assumed a tutelage role that allowed them to replace labor foremen. A hierarchical cadre-laborer relationship emerged from the same labor process that changed the nation's landscape.

    Abstract This study employed eye-tracking technology to investigate how varying dimensions of psychological distance-temporal, probability, and social-affect intertemporal choice. Across three experiments, participants were asked to select between two intertemporal options while their eye movements were monitored. Findings revealed inconsistent impacts of different psychological distances on intertemporal decision-making. Increased temporal and social distances led to a preference for larger delayed rewards (Studies 1 and 3), whereas an increase in probability distance did not significantly alter choice preferences (Study 2). The research also highlighted a general pattern in information processing; as psychological distance widened, participants showed a tendency toward dimension-specific processing in making intertemporal decisions.

    Abstract Objective: The scope of surgical resection for paratracheal (level VI) lymph nodes in patients with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) remains debatable. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic ipsilateral Central Neck lymph node Dissection (CND) versus bilateral CND at the time of total thyroidectomy for Clinically Node-negative (cN0) unilateral PTC.
    Methods: A systematic retrieval of electronic databases, including Pubmed, Web of Science, and the China Journal Net, was conducted from January 1990 to September 2021. Outcome data of interest included transient hypoparathyroidism, permanent hypoparathyroidism, transient Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve (RLN) injury, permanent RLN injury and local recurrence. We constructed the summary Odds Ratios (ORs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) for every study with either fixed or random effect models.
    Results: A full total of 1792 patients from 6 studies were enrolled. Our meta-analysis showed that transient hypoparathyroidism was significantly more frequent in bilateral CND group (OR=0.58; 95% CI 0.44-0.76). The prevalence of permanent hypoparathyroidism was significantly higher in bilateral CND group patients compared to those in ipsilateral CND group (OR=0.26; 95% CI 0.15-0.45). On the other hand, our meta-analysis indicated that there were no significant differences in the incidence of transient RLN injury, permanent RLN injury and local recurrence.
    Conclusions: Compared with bilateral CND, the rate of temporary and permanent hypoparathyroidism in ipsilateral CND is lower, but the local recurrence is similar. It may be presumptuous to suggest that ipsilateral CND is an adequate treatment for cN0 unilateral PTC.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a global health challenge. Novel treatment modalities are urgently needed to extend the overall survival of patients. The liver plays an immunomodulatory function due to its unique physiological structural characteristics. Therefore, following surgical resection and radiotherapy, immunotherapy regimens have shown great potential in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Adoptive cell immunotherapy is rapidly developing in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we summarize the latest research on adoptive immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. The focus is on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells and T cell receptor (TCR) engineered T cells. Then tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), natural killer (NK) cells, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, and macrophages are briefly discussed. The main overview of the application and challenges of adoptive immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma. It aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the current status of HCC adoptive immunotherapy and offers some strategies. We hope to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Abstract With the new challenges and crises facing agriculture, digitalization and green transformation have become important ways to solve the problems. This paper uses an international economics perspective to chart a new path for sustainable agricultural development. Specifically, it analyzes whether two-way international direct investment (FDI) can facilitate agricultural digital-green fusion(DGF)? Using a sample of 31 provinces (autonomous regions) from 2012 to 2021, this study finds: (1) Two-way FDI can significantly contribute to agriculture's DGF. (2) In the mechanism test, it is proved that two-way FDI can promote agriculture's DGF level by promoting green technology innovation capacity and overall regional technology innovation capacity. (3) The positive effects of two-way FDI are prominent in the eastern and central regions, coastal regions, and economically developed areas. (4) In the spatial Durbin model, the local two-way FDI growth improves agriculture's DGF level in the surrounding areas to a certain extent. The government is advised to prioritize openness, foster an environment for technological innovation, leverage spatial radiation for agricultural DGF, and advance digitally empowered agricultural modernization.

    Abstract As an environmentally friendly and controllable technology, Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has broad applications in geotechnical and environmental fields. However, the longitudinal dispersivity in MICP multi-process varies with the scale size. Ignoring the effect of the scale size of the research object on the dispersivity leads to the inaccuracy between the numerical model and the experiment data. Thus, this paper has established the relationship between the scale size and the dispersivity initially, and optimized the theoretical system of MICP multi-process reaction. When scale size increases logarithmically from 10-2 m to 105 m, longitudinal dispersivity shows a trend of increasing from 10-3 m to 104 m. The distribution of calcium carbonate is closer to the experimentally measured value when the size effect is considered. After considering the scale size, the suspended bacteria and attached bacteria are higher than the cased without considering the size effect, which leads to a higher calcium carbonate content. Scale has little effect on the penetration law of the suspended bacteria. The maximum carbonate content increases with the increase of the initial porosity, and the average carbonate shows a significant increasing trend with the increase of the bacterial injecting rate. In the simulation of the microbial mineralization kinetic model, it is recommended to consider the influence of the scale size on the MICP multi-process.

    Abstract Early secreted antigenic target of 6 kDa protein (ESAT-6) is the major virulence factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), which can resist the clearance of MTB in bodies by inhibiting macrophage phagocytosis and autophagy reaction, thus impeding the immune defense function of the body against MTB infection. In addition, ESAT-6-induced apoptosis of macrophage and massive necrosis of innate immune cells can foster MTB proliferation and colonization, leading to systemic MTB infection. Moreover, ESAT-6 hampers the protective immune response of Th1 cells, reducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and contributing to immune dysfunction, thus accelerating the course of MTB infection. During the process, the high immunogenicity of ESAT-6 can be leveraged as a dominant antigen in the development of new TB vaccines, making it a promising candidate with broad prospects for further development.

    Abstract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an important part of China's new "double-cycle" development pattern. Among the many factors affecting FDI, will the aging population have an impact on manufacturing, the key industry for FDI? This paper examines the direct and indirect effects of an aging population on FDI using panel data from 27 manufacturing sub-industries in China between 2005 and 2020. It is found that (1) the deepening of the population's aging negatively affects FDI inflows and this result continues to hold after a series of robustness tests. (2) Using labor quantity and labor cost as mediating variables, it is found that the population's aging indirectly affects FDI by reducing labor quantity and increasing labor cost. (3) The heterogeneity analysis study finds that the deepening of the population's aging significantly inhibits FDI in labor-intensive and capital-intensive industries among manufacturing sub-industries, and the inhibitory effect on FDI in technology-intensive industries is not significant. This study provides meso-evidence to support the findings of existing studies and provides suggestions and insights for the government to formulate relevant policies to actively cope with aging.

    Abstract Background: Quercetin has been proven to be effective for cancer treatment, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Also, Quercetin sensitizes cancer cells to current chemical drugs to improve their therapeutic efficacy. However, up until now, the molecular mechanisms that quercetin exerted its therapeutic effects on NPC have not been fully delineated.
    Methods: Cell proliferation abilities were examined by CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay. Real-Time qPCR and Western Blot analysis were used to detect gene expressions at RNA and protein levels. Cell mobility was determined by wound scratch assay and transwell assay. Cell death was detected using flow cytometry (FCM). Tumorigenesis of the NPC cells was determined by in vivo tumor-bearing mice models. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and TUNEL staining were used to detect the tumor metastasis to lung tissues and dead cells, respectively.
    Results: Here, we validated that quercetin exerted its anti-tumor effects and increased cisplatin-sensitivity in NPC in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, quercetin inhibited NPC cell proliferation, viability, mobility, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and tumorigenesis, and induced cell death, resulting in the inhibition of NPC progression. In addition, the NPC cells were subjected to a continuously increasing doses of cisplatin to generate cisplatin-resistant NPC (NPC/CDDP) cells. Interestingly, quercetin significantly enhanced the cytotoxic effects of high-dose cisplatin on NPC/CDDP cells. Furthermore, the potential underlying mechanisms were uncovered, and the results evidenced that quercetin inhibited Yes-associated protein (YAP) expression and its translocation to the nucleus, leading to the recovery of the Hippo pathway, inhibition of cancer progression, and increase in cisplatin-resistance. Mechanistically, upregulation of YAP by its gene manipulating vectors abrogated the inhibiting effects of quercetin on NPC malignant phenotypes, which also made NCP/CDDP cells irresponsive to high-dose cisplatin-quercetin co-treatments.
    Conclusion: Collectively, our data evidenced that quercetin inhibited YAP to recover the Hippo pathway, which further inhibited NPC pathogenesis and increased susceptibility of NCP/CDDP cells to cisplatin treatment.
