    Abstract Background: Dexmedetomidine has arousal sedation and analgesic effects. We hypothesize that epidural dexmedetomidine in single-dose combined with ropivacaine improves the experience of parturient undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia. This study is to investigate the effect of 0.5 µg/kg epidural dexmedetomidine combined with epidural anesthesia (EA) in parturients undergoing cesarean section.
    Methods: A total of 92 parturients were randomly divided into Group R (receiveing epidural ropivacaine alone) Group RD (receiveing epidural ropivacaine with 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine). The primary outcome and second outcome will be intraoperative NRS pain scores and Ramsay Sedation Scale.
    Results: All 92 parturients were included in the analysis. The NRS were significantly lower in Group RD compared to Group R at all observation timepoint (P > 0.05). Higher Ramsay Sedation Scale was found in Group RD compared to Group R (P < 0.001). No parturient has experienced sedation score of 4 and above. No significant difference regarding the incidence of hypotension, bradycardia and nausea or vomiting, Apgar scores and the overall satisfaction with anesthesia was found between Group R and Group RD (P > 0.05).
    Conclusion: Epidural dexmedetomidine of 0.5 µg/kg added slightly extra analgesic effect to ropivacaine in EA for cesarean section. The sedation of 0.5 µg/kg epidural dexmedetomidine did not cause mother-baby bonding deficit. Satisfaction with anesthesia wasn't significantly improved by epidural dexmedetomidine of 0.5 µg/kg. No additional side effect allows larger dose of epidural dexmedetomidine attempt.
    Trial registration: This study was registered at www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2000038853).

    Abstract A growing number of people identify as transgender and gender non-binary in the USA and worldwide. Concomitantly, an increasing number of patients are receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) to achieve gender congruence. GAHT has far-ranging effects on clinical and subclinical markers of cardiovascular risk. Transgender patients also appear to be at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases compared to their cisgender peers and the impact of gender-affirming therapy on cardiovascular health is unclear. Studies on the effect of GAHT on cardiovascular outcomes are confounded by differences in GAHT regimens and methodological challenges in a diverse and historically hard-to-reach population. Current cardiovascular guidelines do not incorporate gender identity and hormone status into risk stratification and clinical decision-making. In this review, we provide an overview on the cardiometabolic impact and clinical considerations of GAHT for cardiovascular risk in transgender patients.

    Abstract The ion extraction and electro/photo catalysis are promising methods to address environmental and energy issues. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of promising template to construct absorbents and catalysts because of their stable frameworks, high surface areas, controllable pore environments, and well-defined catalytic sites. Among them, ionic COFs as unique class of crystalline porous materials, with charges in the frameworks or along the pore walls, have shown different properties and resulting performance in these applications with those from charge-neutral COFs. In this review, current research progress based on the ionic COFs for ion extraction and energy conversion, including cationic/anionic materials and electro/photo catalysis is reviewed in terms of the synthesis strategy, modification methods, mechanisms of adsorption and catalysis, as well as applications. Finally, we demonstrated the current challenges and future development of ionic COFs in design strategies and applications.

    Abstract According to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about a third of all food produced for human consumption in the world is lost or wasted—approximately 1.3 billion tons. Among this, the amount lost during the storage stage is about 15–20% for vegetables and 10–15% for fruits. It is 5–10% for vegetables and fruits during the distribution stage, resulting in a large amount of resource waste and economic losses. At the same time, the global population affected by hunger has reached 828 million, exceeding one-tenth of the total global population. The improvement of the cold chain system will effectively reduce the amount of waste and loss of food during the storage and transportation stages. Firstly, this paper summarizes the concept and development status of traditional preservation technology; environmental parameter sensor components related to fruit and vegetable spoilage in the intelligent cold chain system; the data transmission and processing technology of the intelligent cold chain system, including wireless network communication technology (WI-FI) and cellular mobile communication; short-range communication technology, and the low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN). The smart cold chain system is regulated and optimized through the Internet of Things, blockchain, and digital twin technology to achieve the sustainable development of smart agriculture. The deep integration of artificial intelligence and traditional preservation technology provides new ideas and solutions for the problem of food waste in the world. However, the lack of general standards and the high cost of the intelligent cold chain system are obstacles to the development of the intelligent cold chain system. Governments and researchers at all levels should strive to highly integrate cold chain systems with artificial intelligence technology, establish relevant regulations and standards for cold chain technology, and actively promote development toward intelligence, standardization, and technology.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of epidural dexmedetomidine on reducing visceral traction reaction for cesarean section under epidural anesthesia.
    Methods: Nulliparas were randomly allocated to receive epidural ropivacaine alone (group R) or in combination with dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg (group RD0.5), 0.75 μg/kg (group RD0.75), and 1 μg/kg (group RD1) with 46 nulliparas in each group. The primary outcome was intraoperative visceral traction reaction (graded from 0 to 3, with 0 and 3, respectively, regarded as 'no discomfort in stomach or perineum; no nausea, vomiting or intestinal tympanites' and 'serious visceral pain, nausea and vomiting, intestinal tympanites').
    Results: Visceral traction reaction was significantly alleviated in group RD0.5, RD0.75, and RD1, respectively, compared to group R while it was comparable among RD groups. Increased Ramsay Sedation Scale and lower incidence of shivering were found in RD groups compared to group R (p < 0.001). None of the primipara has experienced Ramsay Sedation Scale above 4. Higher incidence of thirst was found in group RD0.75 and RD1 compared to group R and RD0.5 (p < 0.001). The Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min of the neonates, onset time to T6 sensory block, maximum sensory block level, the incidence of hypotension, bradycardia and nausea or vomiting were comparable among groups.
    Conclusion: It is suggested that 0.5 μg/kg epidural dexmedetomidine can be used as adjuvant to epidural ropivacaine during cesarean section, because of its alleviating visceral traction reaction, moderate sedating, and reducing shivering without thirst increase.

    Abstract Rice is a staple food for 350 million people globally. Its yield thus affects global food security. Drought is a serious environmental factor affecting rice growth. Alleviating the inhibition of drought stress is thus an urgent challenge that should be solved to enhance rice growth and yield. This review details the effects of drought on rice morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and the genes associated with drought stress response, their biological functions, and molecular regulatory pathways. The review further highlights the main future research directions to collectively provide theoretical support and reference for improving drought stress adaptation mechanisms and breeding new drought-resistant rice varieties.

    Abstract Background: Serum troponins and CK-MB (creatine kinase-MB) are readily detectable and reliable cardiac-specific biomarkers of subclinical myocardial injury. This study explores the roles of cTnI (cardiac troponin I) and CK-MB in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
    Methods: This study included 1045 patients with HCM who had baseline cTnI and CK-MB measurements at Fuwai Hospital between 1999 and 2019. Patients were excluded if they had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, or had renal failure. Five end points were studied: all-cause death, cardiovascular death, noncardiovascular death, sudden cardiac death, and other cardiovascular death. Cox regression was used to assess the associations of cTnI and CK-MB levels with outcomes.
    Results: Nine hundred seventy patients with available follow-up data were finally analyzed (mean age, 49.3 years; 36.4% female). During the median 4.3-year follow-up period, 87 patients reached the end points. Higher cTnI (per 0.05 ng/mL increase) and CK-MB (per 1 IU/L increase) levels were associated with increased risks of all-cause death (cTnI: adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.038,
    Conclusions: Comprehensive evaluations of biomarkers of myocardial injury, cTnI and CK-MB, have considerable value for predicting adverse outcomes among patients with HCM. Routine cTnI and CK-MB assessments may help to guide implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation for primary prevention in HCM.
