    Abstract Cadmium is one of the most harmful elements to human health, and the health of postmenopausal females is an important public health issue. However, the correlation between exposure to cadmium and the survival status of postmenopausal women is currently not fully clear. This research intended to explore the correlation between cadmium exposure and mortality among postmenopausal females using a representative sample of the population in the U.S. We drew upon the data of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2018). Cox's proportional hazards models and a restricted cubic spline regression (RCS) model were utilized to analyze the correlation between blood and urine cadmium and the mortality of postmenopausal women. Stratified analyses also were conducted to identify the highest risk factor of mortality for the participants. The mean concentration of blood cadmium was 0.59 μg/L, and the mean concentration of urine cadmium was 0.73 μg/g creatinine. Higher cadmium concentrations in blood and urine were significantly related to an increase in all-cause mortality for postmenopausal females after adjustment for multivariate covariates. Furthermore, there was a linear positive correlation between urine cadmium concentrations and cancer mortality, while there was no correlation between blood cadmium and cancer death. The correlation between cadmium concentrations and all-cause mortality is stronger in older, more overweight women with a history of hypertension or smoking. We propose that cadmium remains an important risk factor of all-cause and cancer mortality among postmenopausal females in the U.S. Further decreases in cadmium exposure in the population can promote the health of postmenopausal women and prolong their lifespan.

    Abstract [Objective] This study aimed to provide a guidance and theoretical support for the practice of rural revitalization by examining China’s tourism poverty alleviation experience. [Methods] Based on the theoretical framework of integrated rural tourism (IRT), this research analyzed the 90 Chinese cases in the World Tourism Alliance (WTA) best practice in poverty alleviation through tourism cases from 2018 to 2020 by the content analysis. NVivo11 pro was used for text processing and encoding of structured data. [Results] (1) We converted the IRT framework into a SQEI framework that is composed of speed, quality, extrinsic, and intrinsic dimensions, and established a tourism development model system of 4 categories and 10 subcategories; (2) Among the models of tourism poverty alleviation in China, the “extrinsic-quality” model of “enterprise + employment” accounted for the largest number and was the most widely distributed; (3) With regard to the spatial distribution of tourism poverty alleviation models, eastern China mainly adopted the “intrinsic-quality” model of “cooperative + employment”, central China mainly adopted the “extrinsic-speed” model of “village enterprise + industry”, and western China mainly adopted the “extrinsic-speed” model of “enterprise + industry”; (4) There were two paths for the evolution of tourism development models: the vertical evolution path, and the horizontal evolution path. The horizontal evolution path seeks to balanced development according to local conditions, while in the vertical path, the “cooperative + employment” model develops into the “enterprise + industry” model through the “village enterprise + industry” model in eastern China, or the “external enterprise + employment” model in western China. [Conclusion] (1) The SQEI poverty alleviation framework based on the IRT framework fits China’s situation better, and is a more suitable analytical framework for China’s tourism poverty alleviation experience; (2) Aiming to benefit the development of the poor population, the Chinese ...

    Abstract Actively Q-switched (AQS) fiber laser and solid-state laser (SSL) are widely used for photoacoustic microscopy (PAM). In contrast, passively Q-switched (PQS) SSL not only maintains most of the merits of AQS lasers, but also exhibits unique advantages, including the pulse width (PW), pulse repetition rate (PRR) tunability, wavelength, compactness, and cost. These advantages all benefit the PAM. However, there are few reports demonstrating the performance of PQS-SSL on PA imaging. Here, we demonstrate a compact PQS-SSL for fast and efficient PA imaging. The laser uniquely maintains a constant PW (~2 ns) and pulse energy (~3 μJ) during the PRR variation (30-100 kHz), which is valuable for preserving a stabilized imaging performance at different scanning rates. The PA imaging performance is compared by a resolution target and showcased by whole-body scanning of an embryonic zebrafish in vivo. The performance indicates that PQS-SSL is a promising candidate for PAM.

    Abstract The development of sensitive and efficient cell sensing strategies to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood is crucial for the early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of cancer clinical treatment. Herein, an array of hierarchical flower-like gold microstructures (HFGMs) with anisotropic nanotips was synthesized by a simple electrodeposition method and used as a capture substrate to construct an ECL cytosensor based on the specific recognition of target cells by aptamers. The complex topography of the HFGMs array not only catalyzed the enhancement of ECL signals, but also induced the cells to generate more filopodia, improving the capture efficiency and shortening the capture time. The effect of topographic roughness on cell growth and adhesion propensity was also investigated, while the cell capture efficiency was proposed to be an important indicator affecting the accuracy of the ECL cytosensor. In addition, the capture of cells on the electrode surface increased the steric hindrance, which caused ECL signal changes in the Ru(bpy)

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of different surgical treatment for coronary artery lesions (CALs) caused by Kawasaki disease (KD) in children.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of children with KD who presented with CALs to our hospital between 2015 and 2022. The patients were aged 126 ± 44.3 months (range: 84-180 months), and their body weight was 37.1 ± 18.6 kg (range: 17-60 kg). All patients were diagnosed with KD and were treated with standard medications. The patients had CALs for an average of 78 months (range: 24-156 months). All children underwent surgical treatment. In addition, one patient underwent cardiac defibrillator implantation, two underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and one underwent heart bypass transplantation. The internal thoracic artery was used as the source of the left anterior descending branch bridge tube. The no-touch technique was used to obtain the free right thigh great saphenous vein as the bridge tube of the right coronary artery.
    Results: All four patients had good postoperative recovery and the cardiac ultrasonography showed improved cardiac function and smooth coronary artery blood flow. The preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction was 44 ± 23.4%, which was significantly improved to 61.4 ± 14.0% postoperatively (p > .05). The preoperative left ventricle size was 5.6 ± 1.6 cm, which was significantly improved to 4.0 ± 0.6 cm postoperatively (p > .05). The two patients who underwent CABG received oral aspirin (5 mg/kg) and clopidogrel (1 mg/kg) antiplatelet therapy. The patients received oral tacrolimus antirejection drugs after the heart transplantation. The postoperative cardiac function was above grade II, and there were no symptoms of cardiac insufficiency, such as syncope, chest tightness, and orthopnea.
    Conclusions: Patients with CALs due to KD should be treated in a timely manner. The selection of an appropriate surgical treatment leads to prolonged survival and improved quality of life of patients.

    Abstract The microphenotype plays a key role in bridging the gap between the genotype and the complex macro phenotype. In this article, we review the advances in data acquisition and the intelligent analysis of plant microphenotyping and present applications of microphenotyping in plant science over the past two decades. We then point out several challenges in this field and suggest that cross-scale image acquisition strategies, powerful artificial intelligence algorithms, advanced genetic analysis, and computational phenotyping need to be established and performed to better understand interactions among genotype, environment, and management. Microphenotyping has entered the era of Microphenotyping 3.0 and will largely advance functional genomics and plant science.

    Abstract Tissue engineering heart valves (TEHVs) are expected to address the limitations of mechanical and bioprosthetic valves used in clinical practice. Decellularized heart valve (DHV) is an important scaffold of TEHVs due to its natural three-dimensional structure and bioactive extracellular matrix, but its mechanical properties and hemocompatibility are impaired. In this study, DHV is cross-linked with three different molecular weights of oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) by a Schiff base reaction and presented enhanced stability and hemocompatibility, which could be mediated by the molecular weight of OHA. Notably, DHV cross-linked with middle- and high-molecular-weight OHA could drive the macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype in vitro. Moreover, DHV cross-linked with middle-molecular-weight OHA scaffolds are further modified with RGD-PHSRN peptide (RPF-OHA/DHV) to block the residual aldehyde groups of the unreacted OHA. The results show that RPF-OHA/DHV not only exhibits anti-calcification properties, but also facilitates endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation in vitro. Furthermore, RPF-OHA/DHV shows excellent performance under an in vivo hemodynamic environment with favorable recellularization and immune regulation without calcification. The optimistic results demonstrate that OHA with different molecular weights has different cross-linking effects on DHV and that RPF-OHA/DHV scaffold with enhanced immune regulation, anti-calcification, and recellularization properties for clinical transformation.
