    Abstract The basement membrane is an essential defense against cancer progression and is intimately linked to the tumor immune microenvironment. However, there is limited research comprehensively discussing the potential application of basement membrane-related genes (BMRGs) in the prognosis evaluation and immunotherapy of gastric cancer (GC). The RNA-seq data and clinical information of GC patients were collected from the TCGA and GEO database. Prognosis-associated BMRGs were filtered via univariate Cox regression analysis. The 4-BMRGs signatures were constructed by lasso regression. Prognostic predictive accuracy of the 4-BMRGs signature was appraised with survival analysis, receiver operating characteristic curves, and nomogram. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), gene ontology, and gene set variation analysis were performed to dig out potential mechanisms and functions. The Estimate algorithm and ssGSEA were used for assessing the tumor microenvironment and immunological characteristics. Identification of molecular subtypes by consensus clustering. Drug sensitivity analysis using the "pRRophetic" R package. Immunotherapy validation with immunotherapy cohort. A 4-BMRGs signature was constructed, which could excellently predict the GC patient prognosis (5-year AUC value of 0.873). Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses showed that the 4-BMRGs signature was an OS-independent prognostic factor, and that higher risk scores were associated with shorter OS. The high-risk subgroup exhibits a higher abundance of immune cell infiltration, such as macrophages. Additionally, we observed a strong correlation between 2 BMRGs (LUM, SPARC) and immune cells such as CD8 + T cells and macrophages. The high-risk subgroup appears to be more sensitive to Axitinib, DMOG, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel by pRRophetic analysis. Furthermore, the validation of the cohort that received immune therapy revealed that patients in the high-risk group who underwent immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment exhibited better response rates. Pan-cancer analysis also shows that risk scores are strongly associated with immune and carcinogenic pathways. The 4-BMRGs signature has demonstrated accuracy and reliability in predicting the GC patient's prognosis and could assist in the formulation of clinical strategies.

    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. The progression of numerous malignancies has been linked to abnormal vesicle-mediated transport-related gene (VMTRG) expression. The prognostic importance of VMTRGs in HCC is uncertain nonetheless.
    Methods: Utilizing HCC data from TCGA and ICGC, we employed univariate cox analysis, unsupervised clustering, and lasso analysis to construct molecular subtypes and prognostic signature of HCC based on the prognostic-associated VMTRGs expression levels. Subsequently, we validated the expression levels of the signature genes. We investigated the probable pathways using gene set variation analysis (GSVA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Six methods were utilized to compare immune cell infiltration between two risk groups. Moreover, the "pRRophetic" algorithm was utilized to test the drug sensitivity of both groups.
    Results: We identified two distinct subtypes with divergent biological behaviors and immune functionality through unsupervised clustering. Subtype C1 demonstrated a poorer prognosis. A prognostic signature incorporating two VMTRGs (KIF2C and RAC1) was formulated. Immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR analyses unveiled a significant upregulation of these pivotal genes within HCC tissues. The prognosis was worse for the high-risk group, which also had a higher clinicopathological grade, higher levels of tumor mutation burden (TMB), a higher immunological infiltration of CD8 + T cells, a higher expression of immune checkpoints, and enhanced immunotherapy efficacy. These two risk groups also have varied chemotherapy drug sensitivities.
    Conclusions: Based on VMTRGs, we have developed a signature that assists in accurate prognosis prediction and formulating personalized treatment strategies for HCC patients.

    Abstract Background: The ubiquitin proteasome has a major role in the development of many tumors. However, the prognostic importance of ubiquitin proteasome-system genes (UPSGs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not fully defined.
    Methods: The TCGA and ICGC datasets were utilized to obtain transcriptional profiling data as well as clinicopathological information about HCC. The 3-UPSGs signature for the TCGA cohort was developed via univariate and LASSO Cox regression analyses. Differential expression of genes was demonstrated by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Biological pathways were studied using GSVA and GSEA. Six algorithms were used to compare immune infiltration between the two risk groups. Furthermore, drug sensitivity was measured using the "pRRophetic" R package. The predictive capacity of the 3-UPSGs signature for sensitivity to immunotherapy was also explored. Moreover, we performed a pan-cancer analysis of the 3-UPSGs signature.
    Results: A risk model containing 3 UPSGs (DCAF13, CDC20 and PSMB5) was developed. IHC and qRT-PCR results showed that signature genes were significantly overexpressed in HCC tissues. The high-risk group had a worse prognosis, with a higher clinicopathological grade, higher levels of tumor mutation burden (TMB), elevated levels of immune checkpoint (IC) expression, as well as increased sensitivity to immunotherapy. The two risk groups also differ in their sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs. Furthermore, the three UPSGs may play crucial roles in the progression of multiple types of cancers.
    Conclusion: We created a 3-UPSGs signature to estimate the prognosis of HCC and to assist in individualized treatment.

    Abstract Multimodal self-sustainable autonomous locomotions integrated into one individual system, are high-level intelligent behavioral characteristics of living organisms and are the scientific hotspot of bionic soft actuators. Here, we report a light-fueled soft actuator with multimodal self-sustainable movements based on a Seifert ribbon bounded by a Hopf link. The Seifert ribbon actuator can self-sense the illumination area adjustment, and the actuation component becomes either a discontinuous strip-like structure or a continuous toroidal structure, which can realize adaptive switches between self-sustained oscillatory and rotary motions. The two motion modes are applied to the self-oscillatory piezoelectric generation and self-rotational work multiplication of cargo transport, respectively. The unique smartness of Seifert surface topology advances the level of actuation intelligence with broad implications for the adaptability, multifunctionality, and autonomy of soft robots.

    Abstract Purposes: Transcriptomics-based analysis of key transcriptional molecules in the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuropathic pain was conducted to screen key molecules in the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia.
    Methods: Rat trigeminal nerve pathological pain model, namely chronic constriction injury of distal infraorbital nerve (IoN-CCI), was constructed and animal behaviors postsurgery were observed and analyzed. Trigeminal ganglia were collected for RNA-seq transcriptomics analysis. StringTie was used to annotate and quantify genome expression. DESeq2 was applied to compare between groups with P value less than 0.05 and fold change greater than 2 times and less than 0.5 times to screen differential genes, and display them with volcano graphs and cluster graphs. ClusterProfiler software was used to perform GO function enrichment analysis of differential genes.
    Results: On the fifth postoperative day (POD5), the rat's face-grooming behavior increased to a peak; on the seventh postoperative day (POD7), the von-frey value dropped to the lowest value, indicating that the mechanical pain threshold of rats was significantly decreased. RNA-seq analysis of IoN-CCI rat ganglia found that the significantly up-regulated signaling pathways included B cell receptor signaling pathway, cell adhesion, complement and coagulation cascade pathways; significantly down-regulated pathways were related to systemic lupus erythematosus. Multiple genes among Cacna1s, Cox8b, My1, Ckm, Mylpf, Myoz1, Tnnc2 were involved in mediating the occurrence of trigeminal neuralgia.
    Conclusions: B cell receptor signaling pathway, cell adhesion, complement and coagulation cascade pathways, neuroimmune pathways are closely related to the occurrence of trigeminal neuralgia. The interaction of multiple genes among Cacna1s, Cox8b, My11, Ckm, Mylpf, Myoz1, Tnnc2 leads to the occurrence of trigeminal neuralgia.

    Abstract Excess extracellular glutamate leads to excitotoxicity, which induces neuronal death through the overactivation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). Excitotoxicity is thought to be closely related to various acute and chronic neurological disorders, such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Polygalasaponin F (PGSF) is a triterpenoid saponin monomer that can be isolated from Polygala japonica, and has been reported to protect cells against apoptosis. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects of PGSF against glutamate-induced cytotoxicity, PGSF-pretreated hippocampal neurons were exposed to glutamate for 24 hours. The results demonstrated that PGSF inhibited glutamate-induced hippocampal neuron death in a concentration-dependent manner and reduced glutamate-induced Ca

    Abstract In recent years, graphdiyne and its derivatives with fascinating electro-optic properties have attracted tremendous scientific attention. Here we design and synthesize a graphdiyne-derived discotic liquid crystal material by decorating six wedge-shaped 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzoate groups on the fundamental structural unit of graphdiyne, the dehydrotribenzo[18]annulene core. This graphdiyne-derived liquid crystal material exhibits a cubic phase and a hexagonal columnar phase at varied temperatures. Most interestingly, this molecule displays a tunable phase-dependent photoluminescence behavior. Under the irradiation of 365 nm wavelength ultraviolet light, the luminescent material emits pale blue, green and azure light in the cubic, hexagonal columnar and isotropic phases respectively. This graphdiyne-derived discotic liquid crystal with excellent optical characteristics might have application potentials in organic optoelectronic functional materials and devices.

    Abstract In recent years, the synthesis and self-assembly studies of artificial nucleic acids have drawn tremendous scientific attention and interest. In this manuscript, we report a strategy for synthesizing double-stranded alternating heterodinucleoside polytriazoles through the 1,4-regioregular copper(I)-catalyzed [3+2] azide–alkyne cycloaddition polymerization of the complementary hydrogen-bonded, sequence-embedded, azide/alkyne-functionalized heterodinucleoside monomeric complexes. The distinct self-assembly behaviors between the heterodinucleoside polytriazoles and their monomeric precursors indicate that the 1,4-regioregular polytriazole backbone can not only constrain and regularize the complementary hydrogen bonds of the nucleobases but also transfer the molecular chirality of monomers into the supramolecular assemblies to induce the formation of helical nanofibers. We believe that this approach can be further extended to the iterative polymerization of nucleoside monomers with more complex nucleobase sequences for developing novel artificial nucleic acids.
