    Abstract Background and objective: Breast cancer is presently the most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a class of closed circRNAs lacking a 5'-end cap structure and a 3'-end polyA tail, which is highly stable and widely involved in a variety of pathophysiological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In recent years, accumulating studies have shown that circRNAs play an important role in the development and prognosis of breast cancer, but there are fewer literature reviews on their intrinsic molecular mechanisms which is the aim of this study.
    Methods: This review synthesizes the findings of literature retrieved from searches of PubMed and Google Scholar databases, hand searches, and authoritative texts. Citations mainly originate from the past 3 years. The articles need to describe the role of circRNA in breast cancer; no language restrictions were imposed.
    Key content and findings: This review summarizes the latest relevant literature and systematically reviews the four main mechanisms of circRNA in breast cancer from the perspective of circRNA function. At the same time, we describe the formation mechanism, characterization, and biological functions of circRNAs.
    Conclusions: We reviewed the status of actual knowledge about circRNA biogenesis and functions and summarized novel findings regarding the molecular mechanism of circRNA in breast cancer. Meanwhile, this review explores the possibility of circRNAs for becoming new biodiagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets in breast cancer.

    Abstract Cytidine triphosphate (CTP), as a substance involved in the metabolism of phospholipids, proteins and nucleic acids, has precise drug effects and is a direct precursor for the synthesis of drugs such as citicoline. In this study, we established an in vitro six-enzyme cascade system to generate CTP. To avoid thermodynamic bottlenecks, we employed a circuitous and two-stage reaction strategy. Using cytidine as the key substrate, the final product CTP is obtained via the deamination and uridine phosphorylation pathways, relying on the irreversible reaction of cytidine triphosphate synthase to catalyze the amination of uridine triphosphate. Several extremophilic microbial-derived deaminases were screened and characterized, and a suitable cytidine deaminase was selected to match the first-stage reaction conditions. In addition, directed evolution modification of the rate-limiting enzyme CTP synthetase in the pathway yielded a variant that successfully relieved the product feedback inhibition, along with a 1.7-fold increase in activity over the wild type. After optimizing the reaction conditions, we finally carried out the catalytic reaction at an initial cytidine concentration of 20 mM, and the yield of CTP exceeded 82% within 10.0 h.

    Abstract Recently, flexible pressure sensors have drawn great attention because of their potential application in human-machine interfaces, healthcare monitoring, electronic skin, etc. Although many sensors with good performance have been reported, researchers mostly focused on surface morphology regulation, and the effect of the resistance characteristics on the performance of the sensor was still rarely systematically investigated. In this paper, a strategy for modulating electron transport is proposed to adjust the linear range and sensitivity of the sensor. In the modulating process, we constructed a double conductive layer (DCL) and grid-assistant face-to-face structure and obtained the sensor with a wide linear range of 0-700 kPa and a high sensitivity of 57.5 kPa

    Abstract Large-area pressure sensor arrays with a wide linear response range and high sensitivity are beneficial to map the inhomogeneous interface pressure, which is significant in practical applications. Here, we demonstrate a pneumatic spraying method to prepare large-area microstructure films (PSMF) for high performance pressure sensor arrays. The sprayed surface morphology is designable by controlling the spraying parameters. It is worth noting that the constructed "broccoli" like morphology with a swollen top and shrunken bottom inspired a new mechanism to enlarge the linear response range by decreasing the series resistance with pressure increasing. At the same time, the pneumatic sprayed "broccoli" has a rough surface due to droplet stacking, which reduces the initial current effectively. Hence, the sensor achieves a 10 000 kPa ultrawide linear response range with a high sensitivity (98.71 kPa

    Abstract L-cysteine is an important sulfur-containing amino acid being difficult to produce by microbial fermentation. Due to the lack of high-throughput screening methods, existing genetically engineered bacteria have been developed by simply optimizing the expression of L-cysteine-related genes one by one. To overcome this limitation, in this study, a biosensor-based approach for multilevel biosynthetic pathway optimization of L-cysteine from the DecR regulator variant of Escherichia coli was applied. Through protein engineering, we obtained the DecR

    Abstract Purpose: Partial omentectomy (PO) has been gradually applied in laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC); however, its efficacy remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of PO in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for pT3-T4a stage GC.
    Patients and methods: From June 2019 to May 2021, 108 patients with pT3 or pT4a stage GC who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy were retrospectively included and divided into the PO (n=58) and total omentectomy (TO, n=50) groups. The surgical outcomes, recurrence patterns and postoperative 2-year overall survival (OS) rates were compared between the PO and TO groups.
    Results: The PO group showed a shorter operation time than the TO group (183.9±21.6 vs 197.6±22.7 min, p=0.002). Less intraoperative blood loss (155.3±113.0 vs 178.8±154.4 mL, p=0.336) and intraoperative complications (5.1% vs 12.0%, p=0.298) were also observed in the PO group than in the TO group, but the difference was not significant. The numbers of retrieved lymph nodes (LNs) and metastatic LNs, postoperative hospital stays and postoperative complications in the two groups were comparable (p>0.05). Moreover, the postoperative overall recurrence rates (25.9% vs 26.0%, p=0.987) and the 2-year OS rates (63.8% vs 65.4%, p=0.437) in the PO and TO groups were also comparable. TO was not an independent prognostic factor for GC patients (HR=0.806, p=0.443).
    Conclusion: In laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, PO could provide better surgical outcomes and comparable oncological outcomes compared to TO for patients with pT3-T4a stage GC, suggesting that PO may be an acceptable surgical procedure for these patients.

    Abstract The aim is to enhance lignin humification by promoting laccase activities which can promote lignin depolymerization and reaggregation during composting. 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) is employed to conduct laccase mediator system (LMS), application of oxidized graphene (GO) in combination to strengthen LMS. Compared with control, the addition of GO, HBT, and GH (GO coupled with HBT) significantly improved laccase expression and activities (P < 0.05), with lignin humification efficiency also increased by 68.6 %, 36.7 %, and 107.8 %. GH treatment induces microbial expression of laccase by increasing the abundance and synergy of core microbes. The unsupervised learning model, vector autoregressive model and Mantel test function were combined to elucidate the mechanism of action of exogenous materials. The results showed that GO stabilized the composting environment on the one hand, and acted as a support vector to stabilize the LMS and promote the function of laccase on the other. In GH treatment, degradation of macromolecules and humification of small molecules were promoted simultaneously by activating the dual function of laccase. Additionally, it also reveals the GH enhances the humification of lignocellulosic compost by converting phenolic pollutants into aggregates. These findings provide a new way to enhance the dual function of laccase and promote lignin humification during composting. It could effectively achieve the resource utilization of organic solid waste and reduce composting pollution.

    Abstract Recently, the moiré pattern has attracted lots of attention by superimposing two planar structures of regular geometries, such as two sets of metasurfaces or gratings. Here, we show the experimental investigation of acoustic moiré effect by using twisted bilayer gratings (i.e., one grating twisted with respect to the other). We observed the guided resonance that occurred when the incident ultrasound beam was coupled with the guiding modes in a meta-grating, significantly influencing the reflection and transmission. Tunable guided resonances from the moiré effect with complete ultrasound reflection at different frequencies were further demonstrated in experiments. Combining the measurements of transmission spectra and the Fast Fourier Transform analyses, we reveal the guided resonance frequencies of moiré ultrasonic metasurface can be effectively controlled by adjusting the twisting angle of the bilayer gratings. Our results can be explained in a simplified model based on the band folding theory, providing a reliable prediction on the precise control of ultrasound reflection via the twisting angle adjustment. Our work extends the moiré metasurface from optics into acoustics, which shows more possibilities for the ultrasound beam engineering from the moiré effect and enables the exploration of functional acoustic devices for ultrasound imaging, treatment and diagnosis.
