    Abstract Hydrogels have emerged as a new type of wound dressing materials that involved in different stages of the healing processes. However, most of the existing wound dressings mainly offer a protective and moisturizing layer to prevent cross-infection, while the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties are frequently induced by extra addition of other bioactive molecules. Here, a novel type of sulfated glyco-functionalized hydrogels for wound dressing was prepared through the hybrid supramolecular co-assembly of carbohydrate segments (FG, FGS and FG3S), fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF), and diphenylalanine-dopamine (FFD). Implanting sulfated carbohydrates can mimic the structure of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), promoting cell proliferation and migration, along with anti-inflammatory effects. In situ polymerization of FFD introduced a secondary covalent network to the hydrogel, meanwhile, providing anti-oxidation and adhesion properties to wound surfaces. Furthermore, the dynamic supramolecular interactions within the hydrogels also confer self-healing capabilities to the wound dressing materials. In vivo experiments further demonstrated significantly accelerated healing rates with the multifunctional hydrogel FG3S-FFD, indicating high application potential.

    Abstract Objective: To explore dermatomyositis signature genes as potential biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma and their associated molecular regulatory mechanisms.
    Methods: Based on the mRNA-Seq data of dermatomyositis and hepatocellular carcinoma in public databases, five dermatomyositis signature genes were screened by LASSO regression analysis and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, and their biological functions in dermatomyositis with hepatocellular carcinoma were investigated, and a nomogram risk prediction model for hepatocellular carcinoma was constructed and its predictive efficiency was initially evaluated. The immune profile in hepatocellular carcinoma was examined based on the CIBERSORT and ssGSEA algorithms, and the correlation between five dermatomyositis signature genes and tumor immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoints in hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated.
    Results: The expression levels of five dermatomyositis signature genes were significantly altered in hepatocellular carcinoma and showed good diagnostic efficacy for hepatocellular carcinoma, suggesting that they may be potential predictive targets for hepatocellular carcinoma, and the risk prediction model based on five dermatomyositis signature genes showed good risk prediction efficacy for hepatocellular carcinoma and has good potential for clinical application. In addition, we also found that the upregulation of SPP1 expression may activate the PI3K/ART signaling pathway through integrin-mediated activation, which in turn regulates the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.
    Conclusion: LY6E, IFITM1, GADD45A, MT1M, and SPP1 are potential predictive targets for new-onset hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with dermatomyositis, and the upregulation of SPP1 expression may activate the PI3K/ART signaling pathway through the mediation of integrins to promote the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
    Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out to screen potential variant in the proband. Candidate variants were determined by taking consideration of clinical phenotype. Sanger sequencing was used to verify the variant in the proband and his parents.
    Results: The proband was found to harbor compound heterozygous variants of c.8G>A (p.Cys3Tyr) and c.958_959insA (p.Arg320Glnfs*29) in the C2ORF71 gene, which has derived from his father and mother, respectively. Both variants were unreported previously. Based on the ACMG guidelines, they were predicted to be likely pathogenic and pathogenic, respectively.
    Conclusion: The novel compound heterozygous variants of the C2ORF71 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of RP in the proband. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of C2ORF71 gene mutations and facilitated genetic counseling for the family.

    Abstract With the fast development of soft electronics, underwater adhesion has become a highly desired feature for various sensing uses. Currently, most adhesive hydrogels are based on catechol-based structures, such as polydopamine, pyrogallol, and tannic acid, with very limited structural variety. Herein, a new type of glycopolymer-based underwater adhesive hydrogel has been prepared straightforwardly by random copolymerization of acrylic acid, acetyl-protected/unprotected glucose, and methacrylic anhydride in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). By employing a DMSO-water solvent exchange strategy, the underwater adhesion was skillfully induced by the synergetic effects of hydrophobic aggregation and hydrogen bonding, leading to excellent adhesion behaviors on various surfaces, including pig skins, glasses, plastics, and metals, even after 5 days of storage in water. In addition, the underwater adhesive hydrogels with simple and low-cost protected/unprotected carbohydrate compositions showed good mechanical and rheological properties, together with cytocompatibility and antiswelling behavior in water, all of which are beneficial for underwater adhesions. In application as a flexible strain sensor, the adhesive hydrogel exhibited stable and reliable sensing ability for monitoring human motion in real time, suggesting great potential for intelligent equipment design.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of COVID-19 infection on pancreatic cancer.
    Methods: Based on the mRNA-Seq data of COVID-19 patients and pancreatic cancer (PC) patients in the GEO database, we used a support vector machine (SVM), LASSO-Cox regression analysis and random forest tree (RF) to screen the common signature genes of the two diseases and further investigate their effects and functional characteristics on PC, respectively. The above procedures were performed in R software.
    Results: The proteins COL10A1/FAP/FN1 were found to be common signature genes for COVID-19 and PC, were significantly up-regulated in both diseases and showed good diagnostic efficacy for PC. The risk model based on COL10A1/FAP/FN1 showed good PC risk prediction ability and clinical application potential. Tumor typing based on COL10A1/FAP/FN1 expression levels effectively classified PC into different subtypes and showed significant differences between the two subtypes in terms of survival prognosis, immune levels, immune checkpoint expression levels, mutation status of common tumor mutation sites, and drug sensitivity analysis. While pathway analysis also revealed that FN1 as an extracellular matrix component may be involved in the biological process of PC by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling axis.
    Conclusion: The upregulated expression of COL10A1/FAP/FN1, the characteristic genes of COVID-19, are potential diagnostic targets for PC, and the upregulated expression of FN1 may promote the progression of PC by activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. The COL10A1/FAP/FN1-based typing provides a new typing approach for PC, and also provides a good reference and idea for the refinement of PC treatment and subsequent clinical research.

    Abstract Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are naturally existing extracellular components with a variety important biological functions. However, their heterogeneous chemical compositions and the challenges in purification have become the main disadvantages for clinical applications. Thus, various synthetic glycopolymers have been designed to mimic the structures and functions of natural GAGs. In the current study, glycopolymers from structurally simple glucose or N-acetylglucosamine monomers were synthesized, which were further subjected to sulfation of different degrees and grafting onto silica nanoparticles, leading to spherical-shaped nano-structures of uniform diameters. With the successively strengthened multivalent effect, the obtained glycopolymer nanoparticles not only showed excellent effects on promotion of cell proliferation by stabilizing growth factors, but also significantly inhibited tumor metastasis by weakening the adhesion between tumor cells and activated platelets. Among the prepared nanoparticles, S

    Abstract To overcome the challenges posed by the complex structure and large parameter requirements of existing classification models, the authors propose an improved extreme learning machine (ELM) classifier for human locomotion intent recognition in this study, resulting in enhanced classification accuracy. The structure of the ELM algorithm is enhanced using the logistic regression (LR) algorithm, significantly reducing the number of hidden layer nodes. Hence, this algorithm can be adopted for real-time human locomotion intent recognition on portable devices with only 234 parameters to store. Additionally, a hybrid grey wolf optimization and slime mould algorithm (GWO-SMA) is proposed to optimize the hidden layer bias of the improved ELM classifier. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed model successfully recognizes nine daily motion modes including low-, mid-, and fast-speed level ground walking, ramp ascent/descent, sit/stand, and stair ascent/descent. Specifically, it achieves 96.75% accuracy with 5-fold cross-validation while maintaining a real-time prediction time of only 2 ms. These promising findings highlight the potential of onboard real-time recognition of continuous locomotion modes based on our model for the high-level control of powered knee prostheses.

    Abstract Glomerella leaf spot (GLS), a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum fructicola, severely affects apple (Malus domestica) quality and yield. In this study, we found that the transcription factor MdWRKY71 was significantly induced by C. fructicola infection in the GLS-susceptible apple cultivar Royal Gala. The overexpression of MdWRKY71 in apple leaves resulted in increased susceptibility to C. fructicola, whereas RNA interference of MdWRKY71 in leaves showed the opposite phenotypes. These findings suggest that MdWRKY71 functions as a susceptibility factor for the apple-C. fructicola interaction. Furthermore, MdWRKY71 directly bound to the promoter of the salicylic acid (SA) degradation gene Downy Mildew Resistant 6 (DMR6)-Like Oxygenase 1 (DLO1) and promoted its expression, resulting in a reduced SA level. The sensitivity of 35S:MdWRKY71 leaves to C. fructicola can be effectively alleviated by knocking down MdDLO1 expression, confirming the critical role of MdWRKY71-mediated SA degradation via regulating MdDLO1 expression in GLS susceptibility. In summary, we identified a GLS susceptibility factor, MdWRKY71, that targets the apple SA degradation pathway to promote fungal infection.

    Abstract As extracellular matrix (ECM) mimetic materials, hydrogels have been widely used for broad biomedical applications. However, with so many physical or chemical cues in the matrix that regulate cell behaviors or functions, it remains challenging to design a customizable hydrogel with the desired properties on demand. In the current study, we aim to establish a circular-patterned hydrogel model with gradient stiffness for screening the most favorable ECM environment for specific cells or certain application purposes. First, six types of hydrogels with a wide stiffness range of 1.2-28.9 kPa were prepared by dynamic covalent cross-linking between gelatin derivatives and oxidized hyaluronic acid. Taking advantage of their instantaneous self-healing property from dynamic chemistry, the hydrogels were further spliced into one whole piece of circular-patterned hydrogel. When rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were seeded in the center, the influences of matrix stiffness on the regulation of stem cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation were directly observed and compared under one visual field. In addition, these hydrogels all possessed good biocompatibility, degradability, and injectability, showing great potential for tissue-engineering-related applications.
