    Abstract Objective: The goal of the study was to examine the genetic correlation of cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) gene polymorphisms with peri-implantitis (PI) predisposition in a Chinese Han population.
    Methods: In the case-control study, blood samples were collected from PI patients and healthy individuals (n = 120/group), who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from 2021 to 2023. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to compare differences of continuous variables among different groups. Genotype and allele distributions of CD14 gene rs2569190 and rs2915863 polymorphisms were analyzed between groups via χ
    Results: A high percentage of rs2569190 GG genotype or G allele carriers were identified in PI group compared with control group (p < .01). Rs2569190 GG genotype carriers had high risk to develop PI (odds ratio: 2.545, 95% confidence interval: 1.257-5.156, p = .009). The rs2569190 AA genotype carriers had the lowest values of gingival index, plaque index, calculus index, peri-implant pocket depth, and clinical attachment level, which were the highest in cases with GG genotype.
    Conclusion: Rs2569190 polymorphism of CD14 gene was significantly associated with PI predisposition in the Chinese Han population, and the GG genotype and G allele were risk factors for the development of PI.

    Abstract Background: In those with one to three positive lymph nodes (N1) breast cancer (BC), the 21-gene recurrence score (RS) classification can be referred for decision-making on adjuvant chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of RS in predicting the survival benefit of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in T1-2N1 BC with estrogen receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative disease after breast-conserving surgery (BCS).
    Methods: We included patients with BC and available RS data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Oncotype DX database. The chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier method, propensity score matching (PSM) as well as multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses were used for statistical analyses.
    Results: We included 6509 patients in the analysis. Of these patients, 5302 (85.5%) were treated with BCS + PORT, and 207 (15.5%) had BCS alone. There were 1419 (21.8%), 4319 (66.4%), and 771 (11.8%) patients being low-, intermediate-, and high-risk RS, respectively. After PSM, PORT was significantly associated with a 5-year overall survival (OS) advantage (95.1% vs. 90.5%, P < 0.001) compared to those without PORT, which similar breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) was found between the treatment arms (P = 0.126). The sensitivity analyses showed that PORT was not associated with a better BCSS (P = 0.472) and OS (P = 0.650) than those without PORT in the low-risk RS cohort. However, PORT was associated with a better BCSS (P = 0.031) and OS (P < 0.001) compared to those without PORT in the intermediate/high-risk RS cohorts.
    Conclusions: Our study highlights the possible role of the RS in predicting the outcome of PORT in T1-2N1 luminal BC patients undergoing BCS.

    Abstract Objective: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and fibrinoid necrosis of medium and small vessels, and its pathogenesis is closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress. Astaxanthin (ATX) is a carotenoid with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. We hypothesized that ATX could play a role in AAV treatment. This study aimed to investigate whether ATX has a protective effect against AAV and to elucidate its regulatory mechanism.
    Methods: In vitro experiments, neutrophils isolated from healthy people were treated with ATX or not and cultured with serum from myeloperoxidase (MPO) -ANCA-positive patients and healthy persons. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in neutrophil culture supernatant before and after stimulation were measured. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neutrophils were detected after stimulation. In vivo study, experimental autoimmune vasculitis (EAV) rat models were established and then treated with ATX via intragastric administration for 6 consecutive weeks. Urinary erythrocytes, urinary proteins, and serum creatinine were detected and HE staining was performed to assess renal injury in rats. Lung hemorrhage was observed by gross dissection and microscopic Prussian blue staining. The level of serum MPO-ANCA was detected. Serum IL-6, TNF-α, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) in rats were measured to explore the effects of ATX on oxidative stress and inflammation in EAV rats. The deposition of MPO in kidney and lung of rats was detected by immunohistochemistry.
    Results: ATX significantly inhibited neutrophil secretion of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α. ATX reduced the elevated levels of ROS in neutrophils stimulated by serum from AAV patients and alleviated the release of NETs. ATX administration was observed to reduce the degree of hematuria, proteinuria, and glomerular crescent formation in EAV rats. The degree of pulmonary hemorrhage was significantly reduced. Besides, the serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were attenuated, and antioxidant SOD and GSH-px increased in serum. Pathological results showed that MPO deposition was decreased in lung and kidney tissues after ATX treatment.
    Conclusion: ATX could ameliorate the organ damages in EAV rats. It could serve as a hopeful therapy for AAV by its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative feature as a unique nature carotenoid.

    Abstract Pancreatic cancer (PC) is known for its high degree of heterogeneity and exceptionally adverse outcome. While disulfidptosis is the most recently identified form of cell death, the predictive and therapeutic value of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) for PC remains unknown. RNA sequencing data with the follow-up information, were retrieved from the TCGA and ICGC databases. Consensus clustering analysis was conducted on patient data using R software. Subsequently, the LASSO regression analysis was conducted to create a prognostic signature for foreseeing the outcome of PC. Differences in relevant pathways, mutational landscape, and tumor immune microenvironment were compared between PC samples with different risk levels. Finally, we experimentally confirmed the impact of DSG3 on the invasion and migration abilities of PC cells. All twenty DRGs were found to be hyperexpressed in PC tissues, and fourteen of them significantly associated with PC survival. Using consensus clustering analysis based on these DRGs, four DRclusters were identified. Additionally, altogether 223 differential genes were evaluated between clusters, indicating potential biological differences between them. Four gene clusters (geneClusters) were recognized according to these genes, and a 10-gene prognostic signature was created. High-risk patients were found to be primarily enriched in signaling pathways related to the cell cycle and p53. Furthermore, the rate of mutations was markedly higher in high-risk patients, besides important variations were present in terms of immune microenvironment and chemotherapy sensitivity among patients with different risk levels. DSG3 could appreciably enhance the invasion and migration of PC cells. This work, based on disulfidoptosis-related genes (DRGs), holds the promise of classifying PC patients and predicting their prognosis, mutational landscape, immune microenvironment, and drug therapy. These insights could boost an improvement in a better comprehension of the role of DRGs in PC as well as provide new opportunities for prognostic prediction and more effective treatment strategies.

    Abstract Northern cities in China have frequently suffered from ice and snow disasters. On the other hand, Harbin mainly relies on coal-fired plants for heating during the winter time. However, coal-fired plants produce a significant amount of air pollution through the production of numerous hazardous gases. This thesis proposed an urban energy recycling system that uses waste gas from heating facilities to recycle waste heat and reduce air pollution in northern cities during the winter. This research made a hypothesis that wintertime ice and snow on city streets could be melted by using waste heat of waste gases from heating industries. The methodology of this research can be divided into three parts: Firstly, the principle of the energy recycling system is designed based on investigation. Secondly, a simulation experiment is used to analyze the system's difficulties. According to the experiment, when an icy road is far away from the heating industry, ice melting efficiency is low. Finally, this research proposed a method for system improvement based on the findings of the experiment. The system's environmental and social benefits will likely lead to its future application in northern Chinese cities even if there are many application-related difficulties, such as the high cost of construction.

    Abstract In patients with kidney disease, the presence of monoclonal gammopathy necessitates the exploration of potential causal relationships. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to address this concern by developing a nomogram model for the early diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify risk factors for MGRS. Verification and evaluation of the nomogram model's differentiation, calibration, and clinical value were conducted using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. The study encompassed 347 patients who underwent kidney biopsy, among whom 116 patients (33.4%) were diagnosed with MGRS and 231 (66.6%) with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. Monoclonal Ig-related amyloidosis (n = 86) and membranous nephropathy (n = 86) was the most common renal pathological type in each group. Notably, older age, abnormal serum-free light chain ratio, and the absence of microscopic hematuria were identified as independent prognostic factors for MGRS. The areas under the ROC curves for the training and verification sets were 0.848 and 0.880, respectively. In conclusion, the nomogram model demonstrated high accuracy and clinical applicability for diagnosing MGRS, potentially serving as a valuable tool for noninvasive early MGRS diagnosis.

    Abstract In scenarios involving sudden releases of unidentified gases or concealed pollution emergencies, source control emerges as a critical procedure to safeguard residential air quality. Appropriate inverse source tracking methodology depending on diverse measurement data could be utilized to promptly identify pollutant source parameters. In this study, source term estimation (STE) method, i.e., jointly combining probability adjoint method with the Bayesian inference method, has been proposed. General form of the pollutant inverse transport equation was firstly established. Subsequently, the pollution source information, assumed from single continuous point releases during Fusion Field Trials 2007 under an unsteady wind field, was identified using the Bayesian inference probability adjoint inverse method. Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MH-MCMC) and Differential Evolution Markov Chain Monte Carlo (DE-MCMC) were then compared as sampling methods for Bayesian inference. Results indicated that the DE-MCMC algorithm has superior convergence and could present higher accuracy of pollutant source information than that of MH-MCMC algorithm, particularly for highly nonlinear and multi-modal distribution systems. Furthermore, the integration of Union standard Adjoint Location Probability (UALP) as prior information into the Bayesian inference probability adjoint inverse method effectively narrowed the sampling range, enhancing both the accuracy and robustness of the proposed approach. Finally, the impact of the covariance matrix on the inverse identification accuracy was explored. Overall, this research has provided insights into the future applicability of this Bayesian inference inversion technique for point source identification.

    Abstract Achieving high gas selectivity is challenging when dealing with gas pairs of similar size and physiochemical properties. The "molecular trapdoor" mechanism discovered in zeolites holds promise for highly selective gas adsorption separation but faces limitations like constrained pore volume and slow adsorption kinetics. To address these challenges, for the first time, a flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) featuring 1D channels and functioning as a "molecular trapdoor" material is intoduced. Extra-framework anions act as "gate-keeping" groups at the narrowest points of channels, permitting gas admissions via gate opening induced by thermal/pressure stimuli and guest interactions. Different guest molecules induce varied energy barriers for anion movement, enabling gas separation based on distinct threshold temperatures for gas admission. The flexible framework of Pytpy MOFs, featuring swelling structure with rotatable pyridine rings, facilitates faster gas adsorption than zeolite. Analyzing anion properties of Pytpy MOFs reveals a guiding principle for selecting anions to tailor threshold gas admission. This study not only overcomes the kinetic limitations related to gas admission in the "molecular trapdoor" zeolites but also underscores the potential of developing MOFs as molecular trapdoor adsorbents, providing valuable insights for designing ionic MOFs tailored to diverse gas separation applications.
