    Abstract Phosphinidenes are heavy congeners of nitrenes that have been broadly used as in situ reagents in synthetic phosphorus chemistry and also serve as versatile ligands in coordination with transition metals. However, the detection of free phosphinidenes is largely challenged by their high reactivity and also the lack of suitable synthetic methods, rendering the knowledge about the fundamental properties of this class of low-valent phosphorus compounds limited. Recently, an increasing number of free phosphinidenes bearing prototype structural and bonding properties have been prepared for the first time, thus enabling the exploration of their distinct reactivity from the nitrene analogues. This Concept article will discuss the experimental approaches for the generation of the highly unstable phosphinidenes and highlight their distinct reactivity from the nitrogen analogues so as to stimuate future studies about their potential applications in phosphorus chemistry.

    Abstract Introduction: Postoperative nausea and vomiting is a common complication for patients after anesthesia and surgery, which may result in increased parasympathetic activity, such as diaphoresis, pallor, or bradycardia. However, few cases of fatal bradycardia induced by postoperative nausea and vomiting have been reported before. Clinicians generally attribute bradycardia to certain anesthetics, instead of postoperative nausea or vomiting.
    Patient concerns: A fifty-year-old female with a history of well-controlled hypertension underwent elective radical mastectomy. When recovering from anesthesia in the post-anesthesia care unit, the patient experienced severe bradycardia accompanied by hypotension and unconsciousness, shortly after nausea and vomiting.
    Interventions: The patient received cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.
    Outcomes: Five minutes later, She recovered sinus rhythm and her vital sings tended to be stable. Three hours later, blood tests showed the N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide 127 pg/mL and cardiac troponin I 0.44 ng/mL, which peaked to 2.65 ng/mL 10 hours after the emergency. Electrocardiography revealed sinus rhythm, ST-segment depression in the inferior and anterior lateral leads, QTc prolongation, and left ventricular high voltage. Her serum cTnI continued to decline to 0.27 ng/mL on the 3rd day after surgery. She was discharged from the hospital on the fifth day and had no sequelae.
    Conclusion: Although postoperative nausea and vomiting occurs frequently, it should be kept in mind as a potential cause to blame for severe bradycardia or even life-threatening situations.

    Abstract Tn5 transposase has been widely used to simultaneously fragment and tag double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with sequencing adaptors in library construction for next-generation sequencing. Recently, we demonstrated that Tn5 transposase also possesses tagmentation activity toward RNA/DNA hybrids, in addition to its canonical dsDNA substrates. Based on this new activity, we are able to skip multiple laborious and time-consuming steps in traditional RNA-seq methods, and rapid, low-input, cost-effective, one-tube RNA-seq library construction is thus enabled. The libraries constructed by Transposase-assisted RNA/DNA hybrids Co-tagmEntation (termed "TRACE-seq") demonstrate excellent performance in terms of gene expression measurement and differential gene expression analysis. Here, we present detailed protocols for TRACE-seq that will be broadly useful for the study of RNA biology and biomedical research. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol 1: Total RNA preparation Basic Protocol 2: TRACE-seq library construction Support Protocol: Tn5 transposome assembly.

    Abstract Matching is a popular design for inferring causal effect with observational data. Unlike model-based approaches, it is a nonparametric method to group treated and control subjects with similar characteristics together, hence to re-create a randomization-like scenario. The application of matched design for real world data may be limited by: (1) the causal estimand of interest; (2) the sample size of different treatment arms. We propose a flexible design of matching, based on the idea of template matching, to overcome these challenges. It first identifies the template group which is representative of the target population, then match subjects from the original data to this template group and make inference. We provide theoretical justification on how it unbiasedly estimates the average treatment effect using matched pairs and the average treatment effect on the treated when the treatment group has a bigger sample size. We also propose using the triplet matching algorithm to improve matching quality and devise a practical strategy to select the template size. One major advantage of matched design is that it allows both randomization-based or model-based inference, with the former being more robust. For the commonly used binary outcome in medical research, we adopt a randomization inference framework of attributable effects in matched data, which allows heterogeneous effects and can incorporate sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding. We apply our design and analytical strategy to a trauma care evaluation study.

    Abstract Succinylation modification involves in the progression of human cancers. The present study aimed to investigate the role of CPT1A, which is a succinyltransferase in the progression of prostate cancer (PCa). CCK-8 was used to detect the cell viability. Seahorse was performed to evaluate the cell glycolysis. Luciferase assay was used to detect the transcriptional regulation. ChIP was performed to assess the binding between transcriptional factors with the promoters. Co-IP was used to assess the binding between proteins. We found that CPT1A was highly expressed in PCa tissues and cell lines. Silencing of CPT1A inhibited the viability and glycolysis of PCa cells. Mechanistically, CPT1A promoted the succinylation of SP5, which strengthened the binding between SP5 and the promoter of PDPK1. SP5 activated PDPK1 transcription and PDPK1 activated the AKT/mTOR signal pathway. These findings might provide novel targets for the diagnosis or therapy of prostate cancer.

    Abstract Introduction: In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, urban communities have emerged as the frontline defenders in epidemic prevention and control, providing the most effective means of curbing the spread of virus both inward and outward. This study attempts to explain the underlying factors and mechanisms that shape the community epidemic prevention and control capacity (CEPCC).
    Methods: We adopted a resilience-based perspective and drew on a sample of 20 exemplary anti-epidemic communities in China. By constructing an analytical framework and employing the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method (fsQCA), we explored how four conditional variables-infrastructure completeness, community self-organizing ability, redundancy of community resources, and stability of regional economic development-and their various configurations impact the CEPCC.
    Results: Our findings reveal that the four conditional variables, when considered in isolation, cannot effectively enhance the CEPCC. Instead, four configuration pathways with mixed conditional variables exist. Notably, community self-organizing ability emerges as a vital condition for effectively strengthening the CEPCC.
    Discussion: This study identifies four pathways to improve the CEPCC and confirms the validity of the data results through case studies. Conclusions of this research contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the factors influencing the CEPCC, which can help communities to better plan and prepare for future epidemics and ensure better response and adaptation to the impacts of future emergencies.

    Abstract We theoretically study the effect of orbital-dependent exchange field in the formation of second order topological superconductors. We demonstrate that changing the orbital difference can induce topological transition and the Majorana corner modes therein can be manipulated. We further propose to detect the corner modes via a normal probe terminal. The conductance quantization is found to be robust to changes of the relevant system parameters.

    Abstract Background: The dynamic needle tip positioning technique represents an advanced version of the short-axis out-of-plane ultrasound-guided approach employed for radial artery catheterization. The study aimed to explore the most effective insertion site capable of expeditiously and accurately executing the procedure in a clinical setting.
    Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study encompassed 246 elective surgery patients necessitating invasive arterial monitoring. Participants were randomly assigned to three distinct groups: Site 1 (targeting the radial styloid process), Site 2 (midway between Sites 1 and 3), and Site 3 (distal one-third of the forearm). The dynamic needle tip positioning technique was implemented across all groups. Crucial parameters, such as first-attempt success rate, time to success, overall success rate, total catheterization time, number of attempts, and complications, were meticulously documented and compared.
    Results: The Site 2 cohort presented a significantly heightened first-attempt success rate compared to Site 1 (97.5% vs 80%,
    Conclusions: The optimal insertion site for ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization utilizing the dynamic needle tip positioning technique in adult patients is situated midway between the radial styloid process and the distal one-third of the forearm.
