    Abstract Background: Asthma is a common illness with chronic airway inflammation. C1q/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related protein 3 (CTRP3) plays a vital role ininflammatory response, but its effect on asthma is imprecise. Herein, we analyzed the functions of CTRP3 in asthma.
    Methods: The BALB/c mice were randomized into four groups: control, ovalbumin (OVA), OVA+vector, and OVA+CTRP3. The asthmatic mice model was established by OVA stimulation. Overexpression of CTRP3 was implemented by the transfection of corresponding adeno-associated virus 6 (AAV6). The contents of CTRP3, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, smooth muscle alpha-actin (α-SMA), phosphorylated (p)-p65/p65, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1), and p-Smad3/Smad3 were determined by Western blot analysis. The quantity of total cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, and lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was assessed by using a hemocytometer. The contents of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β in BALF were examined by enzyme-linked immunesorbent serologic assay. The lung function indicators and airway resistance (AWR) were measured. The bronchial and alveolar structures were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining and sirius red staining.
    Results: The CTRP3 was downregulated in mice of OVA groups; however, AAV6-CTRP3 treatment markedly upregulated the expression of CTRP3. Upregulation of CTRP3 diminished asthmatic airway inflammation by decreasing the number of inflammatory cells and the contents of proinflammatory factors. CTRP3 markedly lessened AWR and improved lung function in OVA-stimulated mice. Histological analysis found that CTRP3 alleviated OVA-induced airway remodeling in mice. Moreover, CTRP3 modulated NF-κB and TGFβ1/Smad3 pathways in OVA-stimulated mice.
    Conclusion: CTRP3 alleviated airway inflammation and remodeling in OVA-induced asthmatic mice via regulating NF-κB and TGFβ1/Smad3 pathways.

    Abstract The safety of drinking water source directly affects human health. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), a toxic and common pollutant in drinking water source, is released by algae and can impede the in-situ remediation effect of aquatic plant. Finding out the effect mechanism of MC-LR on the purification of drinking water by aquatic plant is the key to its application. This study aims to explore the performance and mechanism of MC-LR on drinking water source purification by Hydrocharis dubia (Bl.) backer. The optimum removal efficiency of NH

    Abstract Adaptive quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) reclassifies on-the-fly a molecule or molecular fragment as QM or MM during dynamics simulations without abrupt changes in the energy or forces. Notably, the permuted adaptive-partitioning (PAP) algorithms have been applied to simulate a hydrated proton, with a mobile QM zone anchored at a pseudoatom called a proton indicator. The position of the proton indicator approximates the location of the delocalized excess proton, yielding a smooth trajectory of the proton diffusing via the Grotthuss mechanism in aqueous solutions. The mobile QM zone, which has been taken to be a sphere with a preset radius, follows the proton wherever it goes. Although the simulations are successful, the use of a spherical QM zone has one disadvantage: A large preset radius must be utilized to minimize the chance of missing water molecules that are important to proton translocation. A large radius leads to a large QM zone, which is computationally expensive. In this work, we report a new way to set up the QM zone, where one includes only the water molecules important to proton transfer. The importance of a given water molecule is quantified by its "weight" that depends on its relation to the reaction path of proton transfer. The weight varies smoothly, ensuring that a water molecule gradually appears in or disappears from the QM zone without abrupt changes, as required by the PAP method. Consequently, the shape of the QM zone evolves on-the-fly, keeping the QM zone as small as possible and as large as necessary. Test simulations demonstrate that the new algorithm significantly improves the computation efficiency while maintaining the proper descriptions of proton transfer in bulk water.

    Abstract Objective: We aimed to explore the predictive values of ultrasonic diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) combined with integrative weaning index (IWI) in weaning patients with mechanical ventilation.
    Methods: Patients with mechanical ventilation who received oral endotracheal intubation from September 2020 to September 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Before the start of the spontaneous breathing test (SBT), IWI was calculated according to the blood gas analysis parameters and parameters read in volume control mode. After the start of SBT, DTF was calculated according to the end-expiratory thickness and end-inspiratory thickness of the right diaphragm. The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of DTF and IWI for successful weaning, and the sensitivity and specificity were calculated according to the best critical value.
    Results: The sensitivity, specificity, and best cutoff value of DTF to predict successful weaning was 0.772, 0.727, and 0.293, respectively, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.72 (95%CI 0.59-0.86, p = 0.003). The sensitivity, specificity, and best cutoff value of IWI to predict successful weaning was 0.614, 0.909, 53.00, respectively, and AUC was 0.82 (95%CI 0.72-0.91, p < 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, and best cutoff value of the combination of DTF and IWI to predict successful weaning was 0.614, 0.909, 17.848, respectively, and AUC was 0.84 (95%CI 0.75-0.93, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: DTF and IWI can guide the selection of weaning, while DTF combined with IWI can improve the effect of weaning prediction and provide support for patients' weaning safety.

    Abstract Silk fiber (SF) is a well-known natural material broadly applied for the common textile industry and modern medical field cases. This work introduces a simple process for silkworm self-spun producing fluorescent silk fiber (FSF) with enhanced strength. Experimental, by applying the nontoxic fluorescein sodium (FS), water solution was employed to pretreat the mulberry leaves (ML), and then applied to feeding the silkworm. Our results have shown that the obtained FSF has kept similar tortuosity as with the common SF while the mechanical properties were obviously enhanced due to these special feeding process caused by the reconstruction of β-folding structure of protein reconstruction. Compared to the normal SF, the FSF has shown the expected fluorescent property while keeping similar thermal stability.

    Abstract It is challenging to separate the materials for treating arsenic contamination of soil and water from systems. The natural magnetite covered with Fe-Mn bimetallic (oxyhydr)oxide (Fe-Mn MSM) was effectively created in this study, and its potential use in removing As from water and soil was investigated. Batch adsorption studies showed that the As(V) adsorption on Fe-Mn MSM could achieve equilibrium after 120 min when the initial As(V) concentration was 39.85 mg/L. The calculated maximum adsorption of Fe-Mn MSM for As(V) was 17.94 mg/g at 20 °C. The mechanism of As(V) adsorption was confirmed to be a combination of ligand exchange and electrostatic attraction by the outcomes of FTIR analysis, SEM, and batch adsorption tests. Fe-Mn MSM can also be a successful amendment for cleaning up As-polluted soil. The 5% Fe-Mn MSM treatment group had the lowest exchangeable fraction of As (EX-As) concentration, 0.039 mg/kg (8.3% of initial EX-As), after 40 days. Magnetic separation could be used to quickly and completely recover the used Fe-Mn MSM from the soil. EX-As was present in higher concentrations on Fe-Mn MSM than that of the original soil. As a result, this work offers a strategy that may be put into practice to cheaply remove As from soil and water while also encouraging the reuse of natural magnetite.

    Abstract This paper aims to investigate the interfacial strength characteristics, particularly the residual strength, of a high-density polyethylene smooth geomembrane (GMB-S)/nonwoven geotextile (NW GTX) interface using a novel ring shear apparatus under high normal stresses and two specimen conditions. A total of eight normal stresses (from 50 kPa to 2308 kPa) and two specimen conditions (dry and submerged at ambient temperature) are considered in this study. The reliability of using the novel ring shear apparatus to study the strength characteristics of the GMB-S/NW GTX interface was demonstrated by conducting a series of direct shear experiments with a maximum shear displacement of 40 mm and ring shear experiments with a shear displacement of 10 m. The peak strength, post-peak strength development, and residual strength determination method of the GMB-S/NW GTX interface are explained. Three exponential equations suitable for characterizing the relationship between the post-peak friction angle and the residual friction angle of the GMB-S/NW GTX interface are established. This relationship can be used with the relevant apparatus (i.e., an apparatus with deficiencies in executing large shear displacement) in determining the residual friction angle of the high-density polyethylene smooth geomembrane/nonwoven geotextile interface.
