Abstract	Along with ongoing loss of natural habitats, expanding artificial (human-made or human-managed) habitats provide alternative habitats for many wildlife species. Many studies have investigated wildlife diversity in artificial habitats, but whether the use of artificial habitats has fitness consequences remains unclear. We compiled global data on bird breeding performance, which is a fitness-related indicator, in a variety of artificial wetland types through a literature review. We first analysed the proportion of breeding failures caused by human activities. Then we conducted a meta-analysis to compare the breeding performance of birds in artificial and natural wetlands to investigate the effects of conservation interventions and nest location on the breeding performance of birds in artificial wetlands. Results showed that human-induced breeding failures are common in artificial wetlands, such as nest trampling and damage caused by production practices. On average, 50.6 % of studies recorded breeding failures caused by human activities, contributing to 37.0 % of total breeding failures in those studies. We found no significant difference on the breeding performance of birds in artificial and natural wetlands. However, conservation interventions improved the breeding performance of birds in artificial wetlands, especially for ground-nesting species, whose breeding failure rates in artificial wetlands without conservation interventions were on average 42.9 % (95 % CI: 18.1 % to 59.7 %) higher than in natural wetlands. Given the ongoing expansion of artificial habitats, our study highlights that while protecting the natural habitats of biodiversity hotspots, it is also essential to conduct conservation interventions in artificial habitats to fully exploit their functions in supporting biodiversity.

Abstract	Anthracycline is a standard drug for the treatment of breast cancer. However, anthracycline has great cardiotoxicity. Some patients stop chemotherapy during severe chemotherapy and even undergo serious heart failure. At the same time, there is lack of clinical study on whether aerobic exercise can reduce the cardiotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on the cardiac function of patients with breast cancer after anthracycline therapy. The results showed that the control group LVEF decreased significantly. In addition, the E/A value decreased and the DT interval prolonged in the control group, show that anthracycline on myocardial damage, and the observation group LVEF increased significantly (P<0.05), the results show that aerobic exercise can improve heart function, and to a certain extent, it could reverse the damage of chemotherapy drugs on the heart.

Abstract	Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for about 60% of adult thyroid carcinoma and generally has an excellent prognosis. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid (PSCCT) is a rare thyroid tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis. In 2022, the 5 Case description: We herein report a case of 69-year-old female who initially presented with a history of left neck mass for one month. Comprehensive auxiliary examinations and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of PTC combined with ATC-SCC subtype, and PDTC. Total thyroidectomy with radical left cervical lymph node dissection was performed, followed by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppressive therapy, Conclusions: The simultaneous occurrence of PTC, ATC-SCC subtype, and PDTC is extremely rare in clinical terms or literature reports. The treatment has not been standardized, and early radical surgery is the first choice. In addition, the combination of adjuvant therapies such as TSH suppressive therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and

Abstract	Background: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare endocrine malignancy causing pathological changes such as abnormal bone metabolism, elevated serum calcium, and impaired renal function, and uncontrollable hypercalcemia is the main cause of death in PC patients. The diagnosis of PC is challenging and relying on postoperative histopathology. Radical surgery at the first time is the only effective therapy to cure PC. Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a relatively uncommon complication of parathyroidectomy characterized by profound and prolonged hypocalcemia, timely electrolyte monitoring and alternative interventional protocols can prevent symptomatic hypocalcemia. Case: A 57-year-old man presented with multiple pathological fractures and muscle atrophy as the main symptoms accompanied by bone pain, hypercalcemia, elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH), and an enlarged left-sided neck mass. After consultation of multidisciplinary team, he was treated conservatively with plaster bandage fixation and infusion of intravenous zoledronic acid; and then complete resection of parathyroid mass + removal of involved tissue structures + left thyroid and isthmus lobectomy + lymph node dissection in the VI region in left neck were performed. The postoperative histopathology suggested a diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma. Calcium and fluid supplementation and oral levothyroxine tablets were given postoperatively. Unexpectedly, the patient's PTH level decreased rapidly at 24 h postoperative, and serum calcium and phosphorus decreased continuously, and he felt numb around perioral sites and fingertips, which considered to be postoperative HBS complicated by parathyroidectomy. Then, a large amount of calcium supplementation and vitamin D were given timely and the patient got better at 1 month postoperatively. At 9-month postoperative, his bone pain and fatigue were significantly relieved compared with before with calcium, phosphorus, and PTH levels at normal range. Conclusion: The possibility of parathyroid disease, particularly PC, should be considered in the presence of multiple pathological fractures, muscle atrophy, generalized bone pain, hypercalcemia, and clear neck mass. Radical resection of the tumor lesions at the first surgery is a key element affecting the prognosis of PC, and the effective management of preoperative hypercalcemia and postoperative HBS is also of great significance for improving prognosis.

Abstract	Many studies have documented the average body size of animals declining over time. Compared to mean body size, less is known about long-term changes in intraspecific trait variation (ITV), which is also important to understanding species' ability to cope with environmental challenges. On the basis of 393,499 specimen records from 380 species collected in North America between 1880 and 2020, we found that body size ITV increased by 9.59% for mammals (n = 302) and 30.67% for birds (n = 78); human-harvested species had higher probability of ITV increase. The observed increasing ITV in many species suggests possible niche expansion and potential buffering effects against downsizing but it risks increased maladaptation to rapidly changing environments. The results demonstrate that trait mean and variance do not necessarily respond in similar ways to anthropogenic pressures and both should be considered.

Abstract	Breast cancer (BC) and benign breast lesions (BBLs) are common diseases in women worldwide. The gut microbiota plays a vital role in regulating breast diseases' formation, progression, and therapy response. Hence, we explored the structure and function of gut microflora in patients with BC and BBLs. A cohort of 66 subjects was enrolled in the study. Twenty-six subjects had BC, 20 subjects had BBLs, and 20 matched healthy controls. High throughput 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene sequencing technology was used to determine the microbial community structure. Compared with healthy individuals, BC patients had significantly lower alpha diversity indices (Sobs index,

Abstract	The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome is replicated by a conserved "core" replication-transcription complex (RTC) containing an error-prone RNA-dependent RNA polymerase holoenzyme (holo-RdRp, nsp12-nsp7-nsp8) and a RNA proofreading nuclease (nsp14-nsp10). Although structures and functions of SARS-CoV-2 holo-RdRp have been extensively studied and ribonucleotide-analog inhibitors, such as Remdesivir, have been treated for COVID-19 patients, the substrate and nucleotide specificity of SARS-CoV-2 holo-RdRp remain unknown. Here, our biochemical analysis of SARS-CoV-2 holo-RdRp reveals that it has a robust DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity, in addition to its intrinsic RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity. Strikingly, SARS-CoV-2 holo-RdRp fully extends RNAs with a low-fidelity even when only ATP and pyrimidine nucleotides, in particular CTP, are provided. This ATP-dependent error-prone ribonucleotide incorporation by SARS-CoV-2 holo-RdRp resists excision by the RNA proofreading nuclease in vitro. Our collective results suggest that a physiological concentration of ATP likely contributes to promoting the error-prone incorporation of ribonucleotides and ribonucleotide-analogs by SARS-CoV-2 holo-RdRp and provide a useful foundation to develop ribonucleotide analogs as an effective therapeutic strategy to combat coronavirus-mediated outbreak.

Abstract	The global aquaculture industry has expanded rapidly and is increasingly important for maintaining food security while also providing alternative artificial habitats for many waterbirds. Clarifying how waterbirds use aquafarms and how aquafarm use affects waterbird population maintenance can be useful for improving management of the artificial landscape that can also provide waterbird habitat. Here, we investigated aquafarm use by waterbirds in China, the world's largest producer of aquaculture products, supported by literature review and questionnaire survey. We used Bayesian phylogenetic generalized linear mixed models to analyze the relationship between the degree of aquafarm use and population trends of waterbirds. The results showed that 69% of waterbird species in China have been recorded at aquafarms. Approximately one-quarter of all waterbird species and about the same proportion of threatened species were found to forage at aquafarms, consuming either cultured aquatic products or other food types. In general, species with a high degree of aquafarm use were unlikely to exhibit a population decline over the past two decades, when rapid loss of natural habitats occurred in China. This relationship was not detected in threatened species, despite there being no significant difference in the degree of aquafarm use between threatened and non-threatened species. Our study suggests that the large and expanding aquaculture industry is important for maintaining waterbird populations in China. However, aquafarms are not a replacement for natural habitats, because threatened species benefit less from aquafarm use. Given that aquafarms often come at the expense of natural wetlands, the degree to which aquafarms compensate for natural habitat loss probably depends on the quality of aquafarm habitat. We recommend an integrated ecological and economic analysis for formulating management policies that help conserve wildlife within the constraints and opportunities associated with maintaining human livelihoods.
