    Abstract Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that causes significant maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Circular RNA (circRNA) hsa_circ_0015382 is associated with the pathogenesis of PE, but its underlying regulatory mechanism remains to be explored.
    Methods: Relative RNA levels of hsa_circ_0015382, microRNA-616-3p and thrombospondin-2 (THBS2) were detected by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In vitro regulatory effects of hsa_circ_0015382 on the proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis of trophoblasts were evaluated by CCK-8, flow cytometry for cell cycle, EdU, transwell, wound healing and HUVEC tube formation assays, respectively. Targeting interaction was verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays.
    Results: Hsa_circ_0015382 was highly expressed in placental tissues from PE patients. Upregulation of hsa_circ_0015382 repressed trophoblast proliferation, migration, invasion and lowered trophoblast-induced HUVEC tube formation. Hsa_circ_0015382 was validated as a miR-616-3p sponge and miR-616-3p targeted THBS2. Hsa_circ_0015382 could mediate trophoblast proliferation, migration, invasion and regulate trophoblast-induced HUVEC tube formation by sponging miR-616-3p and regulating THBS2 expression.
    Conclusion: Hsa_circ_0015382 is associated with the pathogenesis of PPE by regulating the miR-616-3p/THBS2 axis.
    Highlights: Hsa_circ_0015382 is overexpressed in preeclampsia patients. Hsa_circ_0015382 inhibits trophoblast proliferation, migration, invasion and decreases trophoblast-induced HUVEC tube formation. Hsa_circ_0015382 interacts with miR-616-3p to regulate THBS2 expression.

    Abstract Rapid urbanization of China has brought lifestyle changes resulting in a continuous decline in children's physical fitness (PF) and out-of-school physical activity (PA). To date, studies have been focused on correlates of PF and out-of-school PA, and patterns and trends based on geographic diversity and urban-rural contrasts. Western China, with a large rural population, has substantial urban-rural differences, but little work has been done to compare its children's physical fitness (PF) and out-of-school physical activity (PA) at a county level. A total of 715 primary school students (grades 3-6) were surveyed from one urban school (

    Abstract The aim of the current study was to investigate the importance of strain elastography (SE) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant soft tissue masses. SE was adopted to examine 61 patients with superficial masses, classify their elastic scores and assess their strain ratios (SRs) between the masses and the surrounding structures. Significantly increased SR values and elastic scores were observed in the malignant masses compared with the benign masses (5.42±3.47 vs. 1.80±2.10, P<0.001; 3.13±0.34 vs. 2.03±0.99, P<0.001). Area under receiver operating characteristic curve values of the SRs and elastic scores were 0.87 (P<0.001) and 0.805 (P=0.001), respectively. With an SR of >2.295 as the optimal threshold value, the sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values for diagnosing a malignant mass were 93.8, 80.5, 65.2 and 97.1%, respectively; whilst using an elastic score of ≥3 as the optimal threshold value, the sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values for diagnosing a malignant mass were 100, 51.6, 51.6 and 100%, respectively. SR values and elastic scores were significantly different between the malignant and benign soft tissue masses. Therefore, SE may be used to effectively differentiate between malignant and benign soft tissue masses.

    Abstract Gold nanoclusters (NCs) have been widely used in bioimaging and cancer therapy due to their unique electronic structures and tunable luminescence. However, their weak fluorescence prevents potential biomedical application, and thus it is necessary to develop an effective route to enhance the fluorescence of gold NCs. In this work, we report the fluorescence enhancement of ultrasmall GSH-protected Au NCs by Zn atom doping. The fluorescence signal of Zn-doped Au NCs shows approximately 5-fold enhancement compared to pure Au NCs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that Zn doping can enhance the electronic states of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), leading to enhancement of visible optical transitions.

    Abstract Black phosphorus (BP), as an emerging successor to layered two-dimensional materials, has attracted extensive interest in cancer therapy. Toxicological studies on BP are of great importance for potential biomedical applications, yet not systemically explored. Herein, toxicity and oxidative stress of BP quantum dots (BPQDs) at cellular, tissue, and whole-body levels are evaluated by performing the systemic in vivo and in vitro experiments. In vitro investigations show that BPQDs at high concentration (200 μg/mL) exhibit significant apoptotic effects on HeLa cells. In vivo investigations indicate that oxidative stress, including lipid peroxidation, reduction of catalase activity, DNA breaks, and bone marrow nucleated cells (BMNC) damage, can be induced by BPQDs transiently but recovered gradually to healthy levels. No apparent pathological damages are observed in all organs, especially in the spleen and kidneys, during the 30-day period. This work clearly shows that BPQDs can cause acute toxicities by oxidative stress responses, but the inflammatory reactions can be recovered gradually with time for up to 30 days. Thus, BPQDs do not give rise to long-term appreciable toxicological responses.

    Abstract Catalytic nanomaterials can be used extrinsically to combat diseases associated with a surplus of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Rational design of surface morphologies and appropriate doping can substantially improve the catalytic performances. In this work, a class of hollow polyvinyl pyrrolidone-protected PtPdRh nanocubes with enhanced catalytic activities for in vivo free radical scavenging is proposed. Compared with Pt and PtPd counterparts, ternary PtPdRh nanocubes show remarkable catalytic properties of decomposing H
