    Abstract The development of urban agglomerations dominated by the service industry is an important driving force for further sustainable economic growth of China. Spatial analysis marked by population density and regional integration is an essential perspective for studying the human development index (HDI) in China. Based on Bayesian estimation, this paper examines the influence of a spatial factor on HDI by using a spatial hierarchical factor model within the framework of Sen Capability Approach theory, overcoming the neglect of spatial factors and their equal weight in traditional measurement of HDI. On this basis, the HDI including the spatial factor was measured based on the panel data from 2000 to 2018. The results reveal that (1) provinces with high population densities and regional integration have higher rankings and low uncertainties of HDI, which can be attributed to the improvement of education weights; (2) HDI has a certain spatial spillover effect, and the spatial association increases year by year; (3) robust test by using nighttime lighting as an alternative indicator of GDP supports that the spatial correlation is positively related to HDI ranking. The policy recommendations of this paper are to remove the obstacles for cross-regional population mobility and adjust the direction and structure of public expenditure.

    Abstract Reading-to-write is an essential skill in academic writing, and reading-writing tasks have been widely adopted in standardized English tests. Much more recent literature on integrated reading-writing tasks has focused on writers' use of source texts or the validity of integrated writing assessment, while little is known about whether the nature of the types of reading texts has any bearing on integrated reading-writing tasks. This study examines whether the types of reading texts (i.e., similar views or opposing views on a debatable issue) have any influence on second language (L2) students' argumentative writing in terms of the use of argument elements and its overall quality. Fifty-four Chinese second-year university students majoring in English language teaching were asked to write an argumentative essay after reading texts with either similar views or opposing views. Results show that students reading texts with opposing viewpoints presented more data and higher overall quality of argumentative essays than students reading texts with similar viewpoints, although the latter group presented more counterargument data. Pedagogical implications on teaching argumentative writing are discussed.

    Abstract This systematic review evaluated the dietary experience of patients with obesity post-bariatric surgery. Scopus, CINAHL, Medline, Psych INFO, and Embase databases were searched and JBI Critical Appraisal Tool was used for quality assessment. Thomas and Harden's three-stage thematic synthesis was undertaken using the Enhancing transparency in reporting the synthesis of qualitative research (ENTREQ) statement for reporting. Of the 24 studies extracted, we coded and developed 34 descriptive themes into 7 categories, which were then categorized to 3 analytical themes. The number of all the participants in the 24 articles is 383 people. The results revealed most patients can control their diet for a short period post-surgery. However, this was a matter of gradual self-consciousness as patients also required support and dietary management in postoperative recovery. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The protocol for this qualitative systematic review has been registered with PROSPERO (registration number CRD42021229083).

    Abstract The 3D culture of intestinal organoids entails embedding isolated intestinal crypts and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells within a growth factor-enriched matrix gel. This process leads to the formation of hollow microspheres with structures resembling intestinal epithelial cells, which are referred to as intestinal organoids. These structures encompass various functional epithelial cell types found in the small intestine and closely mimic the organizational patterns of the small intestine, earning them the name "mini-intestines". Intestinal tumors are prevalent within the digestive system and represent a significant menace to human health. Through the application of 3D culture technology, miniature colorectal organs can be cultivated to retain the genetic characteristics of the primary tumor. This innovation offers novel prospects for individualized treatments among patients with intestinal tumors. Presently established libraries of patient-derived organoids serve as potent tools for conducting comprehensive investigations into tissue functionality, developmental processes, tumorigenesis, and the pathobiology of cancer. This review explores the origins of intestinal organoids, their culturing environments, and their advancements in the realm of precision medicine. It also addresses the current challenges and outlines future prospects for development.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the mechanistic basis for the anti-proliferation and anti-invasion effect of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-induced ligand (TRAIL) and celastrol combination treatment (TCCT) in glioblastoma cells.
    Methods: Cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of celastrol (0-16 µmol/L) and TRAIL (0-500 ng/mL) on the cell viability of glioblastoma cells. U87 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely control, TRAIL (TRAIL 100 ng/mL), Cel (celastrol 0.5 µmol/L) and TCCT (TRAIL 100 ng/mL+ celastrol 0.5 µmol/L). Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were detected by colony formation, wound healing, and Transwell assays, respectively. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were performed to assess the levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (zona occludens, N-cadherin, vimentin, zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox, Slug, and β-catenin). Wnt pathway was activated by lithium chloride (LiCl, 20 mol/L) and the mechanism for action of TCCT was explored.
    Results: Celastrol and TRAIL synergistically inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of U87 cells (P<0.01). TCCT up-regulated the expression of GSK-3β and down-regulated the expression of β-catenin and its associated proteins (P<0.05 or P<0.01), including c-Myc, Cyclin-D1, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2. In addition, LiCl, an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway, restored the inhibitory effects of TCCT on the expression of β-catenin and its downstream genes, as well as the migration and invasion of glioblastoma cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01).
    Conclusions: Celastrol and TRAIL can synergistically suppress glioblastoma cell migration, invasion, and EMT, potentially through inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This underlies a novel mechanism of action for TCCT as an effective therapy for glioblastoma.

    Abstract Background: Complement C3 has been shown to be highly expressed in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) tumour tissues and is correlated with tumour cell growth. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of C3 in cSCC malignant transformation.
    Methods: C3 expression was analysed in cSCC cell lines A431, Tca8113, SCC13, HSC-5 and HSC-1 and in immortalized HaCaT keratinocytes. Proliferation and migration of cSCC were determined after C3a exposure. Expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), pro-matrix metalloproteinase 1 (pro-MMP1), pro-matrix metalloproteinase 2 (pro-MMP2), stemness factors, GSK-3β, and β-catenin were analyzed. Tumour growth was examined in a murine xenograft model.
    Results: C3 expression was much more highly expressed in all cSCC cell lines than in HaCaT cells. C3a treatment significantly promoted cSCC cell proliferation and migration and upregulated cyclin D1, cyclin E, VEGF, pro-MMP1 and pro-MMP2 expression, which were impeded by the C3aR antagonist. Moreover, the expression of stemness factors Sox-2, Nanog, Oct-4, c-Myc and CD-44 was stimulated by C3a and slowed by C3aR disruption. Knockdown of Sox-2 by siRNA transfection suppressed cell proliferation and migration, constrained VEGF secretion and inhibited pro-MMP1 and pro-MMP2 expression. C3a also activated the Wnt and β-catenin pathway in cSCC cells. Disruption of C3aR expression dampened tumour growth and the expression of Wnt-1, β-catenin and Sox-2 in the xenograft model.
    Conclusions: C3a enhanced cell proliferation, migration and stemness in cSCC, and this activity was correlated with activation of the Wnt and β-catenin pathway.
