    Abstract We study the existence of global unique classical solution to a density-dependent prey-predator population system with indirect prey-taxis effect. With two Lyapunov functions appropriately constructed, we then show that the solution can asymptotically approach prey-only state or coexistence state of the system under suitable conditions. Moreover, linearized analysis on the system at these two constant steady states shows their linear instability criterion. By numerical simulation we find that some density-dependent prey-taxis and predators' diffusion may either flatten the spatial one-dimensional patterns which exist in non-density-dependent case, or break the spatial two-dimensional distribution similarity which occurs in non-density-dependent case between predators and chemoattractants (released by prey).

    Abstract Rationale: Retroperitoneal hematomas are relatively common in patients undergoing nephrectomy. Herein, we report an unusual case involving a giant retroperitoneal hematoma and subsequent duodenal ulcerative bleeding following a radical nephrectomy.
    Patient concerns: A 77-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for lower back pain, and she had severe right hydronephrosis and a urinary tract infection.
    Diagnoses: The patient was diagnosed and confirmed as high-grade urothelial carcinoma.
    Interventions: After ineffective conservative treatments, a right radical nephrectomy and ureteral stump resection were performed. The patient received proton pump inhibitors to prevent stress ulcer formation and bleeding. On the first day post-surgery, she had normal gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy findings. On the second day post-surgery, abdominal computed tomography revealed a retroperitoneal hematoma. Notably, 14 days post-surgery, massive GI bleeding occurred, and GI endoscopy identified an almost perforated ulcer in the bulbar and descending duodenum.
    Outcomes: The patient died on day 15 after surgery.
    Lessons: Duodenal ulceration and bleeding might occur following a retroperitoneal hematoma in patients treated with nephrectomy. Timely intervention may prevent duodenal ulcers and complications, and thus could be a promising life-saving intercession.

    Abstract Ultratrace-enriching biomarker analysis is an effective method for achieving highly accurate and enhanced sensitive detection. In this study, we have developed an enrichment detection platform by combining a minipillar array with an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) for ultratrace enriching biomarker analysis. After optimizing the enrichment conditions of ATPS, target miRNAs at ultratrace levels specifically accumulate in the DEX-rich phase, which significantly increases the target miRNA concentration-related fluorescence intensity. Compared to non-enriched miRNA in the single-phase PEG solution, the detection limit of ATPS-enriched miRNA had improved more than 200-fold. The ATPS-based enrichment detection strategy offers a novel and convenient approach for the simultaneous detection of biomarkers with ultratrace.

    Abstract Background: Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is one of the most common aggressive malignancies in the genitourinary system with the high degree of immune infiltration. However, the role of necroptosis-related genes in the immune infiltration of KIRC and the impact on overall survival have not been adequately studied.
    Methods: Differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes were identified based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Then, we constructed a necroptosis-related prognostic index (NRPI) through Lasso Cox regression analysis. The KIRC patients were divided into NRPI-high and NRPI-low groups by the median. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine NRPI as an independent prognostic factor. The role of NRPI was assessed through nomogram, GO/KEGG enrichment analyses, and immune cells infiltration. The efficacy of immunotherapy in KIRC patients was evaluated by TIDE. The immunohistochemistry was performed to verify the difference in protein expression between tumor samples and normal tissues from our hospital.
    Results: We found that NRPI-high patients had higher mortality. The multivariate Cox regression between the signature and multiple clinicopathological characteristics proved that NRPI could effectively and independently predict the prognosis of KIRC. The protein expression of three necroptosis-related genes constituting NRPI was significantly different between tumor and normal tissues. NRPI was closely related to immunologically relevant pathways and functions. The tumor microenvironment and immune infiltrating cells showed clear distinctions in NRPI-high and NRPI-low patients. The analysis of clinical treatments found that NRPI-low patients responded better to immunotherapy, while NRPI-high patients were more sensitive to targeted therapy. Furthermore, we identified a lncRNAs/miRNA/mRNA regulatory axis for KIRC.
    Conclusion: In general, NRPI was a promising biomarker in predicting the prognosis and responses to treatments in KIRC.

    Abstract Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 circular RNA (circPVT1) is involved in the initiation and development of several types of cancer. However, the underlying molecular role of circPVT1 in tumorigenesis of thyroid cancer remains to be elucidated. In the present study, relative expression of circPVT1 was markedly upregulated in thyroid cancer compared with adjacent normal tissue. circPVT1 expression was associated with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation and Transwell chamber assays demonstrated that knockdown of circPVT1 decreased proliferation, migration and invasion of thyroid cancer cells

    Abstract To investigate the influence of water on the mechanical behavior of rock surrounding hard-rock tunnels, a series of uniaxial and true-triaxial compression tests were performed on red sandstone samples with two different water contents (natural water content (NWC) and saturated water content (SWC)). The samples taken were cubic samples containing a circular hole and cylindrical samples. During the true-triaxial tests, hole failure was monitored and recorded in real-time with in-house developed monitoring equipment. The effects of water on the stress, energy, and fracture characteristics of rock failure in hard-rock tunnel were determined. The results indicate that, after reaching the SWC state, the strength and elastic modulus of red sandstone were reduced, and the shear characteristics became more obvious. The failure mode of the NWC holes was primarily slab ejection, while the failure mode of the SWC holes was primarily slab flaking. Water changes the mesoscopic mechanism of spalling and exhibits a double effect on hard-rock tunnels. The mechanisms of water on rockburst prevention are to reduce residual elastic strain energy, avoid excessive concentration of strain energy, and increase rockburst resistance. The ratio of the far-field maximum principal stress to the uniaxial compressive strength can be used as an index to evaluate the stability of hard-rock tunnels. The results help to rethink the influence of water on underground hard rock engineering, such as the failure mechanism of surrounding rock and the analysis of tunnel (or caverns) stability in water-rich stratum, and the mechanism of water on the rockburst prevention.

    Abstract Neuroinflammation is an important pathogenesis of neurological diseases and causes a series of physiopathological changes, such as abnormal activation of glial cells, neuronal degeneration and death, and disruption of the blood‒brain barrier. Therefore, modulating inflammation may be an important therapeutic tool for treating neurological diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as pluripotent stem cells, have great therapeutic potential for neurological diseases due to their regenerative ability, immunity, and ability to regulate inflammation. However, recent studies have shown that MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) play a major role in this process and play a key role in neuroprotection by regulating neuroglia. This review summarizes the recent progress made in regulating neuroinflammation by focusing on the mechanisms by which MSC-Exos are involved in the regulation of glial cells through signaling pathways such as the TLR, NF-κB, MAPK, STAT, and NLRP3 pathways to provide some references for subsequent research and therapy.

    Abstract Almond band canker and prune Cytospora canker have become more severe in the last decade, especially in young orchards, in California. To test our hypothesis that young trees from nurseries could carry the canker-causing pathogens at latency phase to new orchards through transplanting, a multiyear survey on latent infection of canker-causing pathogens of budwood and young trees of almond and prune nurseries in California was conducted. A total of more than 1,730 samples including shoots of rootstocks and scions and grafting union cuttings were collected from 11 nurseries. A real-time quantitative PCR assay was applied to quantify the latent infection levels by six canker-causing pathogen taxa:

    Abstract In this study, the neuroprotective potential of tanshinone IIA (TIIA)-modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were investigated using a murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation. The cognitive performance of the mice was assessed using the Y-maze and Morris water maze tests, while immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses were employed to evaluate the hippocampal expression of pertinent markers and inflammatory factors, respectively. The results from the behavioral experiments demonstrated discernible differences in learning and memory abilities between the model group and the control group (
