    Abstract Silicon planar waveguides are designed to maximize the wavelength conversion efficiency via the use of Raman-enhanced four-wave mixing in the telecom band. By investigating the dispersion properties of various rib waveguide structures, the optimum etch depth and width are selected to obtain efficient phase-matching for a continuous-wave pump at 1545 nm. The design benefits from good fabrication tolerance in the structural parameters, which are well within the precision of standard lithography and etching processes. Using the optimized waveguides, simulations show that it is possible to reach conversion efficiencies as high as ∼45 dB for waveguide lengths as short as 4.6 cm, with a pump power of only 130 mW. This enhancement in the conversion efficiency is about 50 dB higher than conventional values for FWM in integrated silicon photonic systems, highlighting the benefits of exploiting the coupling between the two nonlinear processes.

    Abstract Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders (CRSWDs) are a distinct class of sleep disorders caused by alterations to the circadian time-keeping system, its entrainment mechanisms, or a mismatch between the endogenous circadian rhythm and the external environment. The main clinical manifestations are insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness that often lead to clinically meaningful distress or cause mental, physical, social, occupational, educational, or other functional impairment. CRSWDs are easily mistaken for insomnia or early waking up, resulting in inappropriate treatment. CRSWDs can be roughly divided into two categories, namely, intrinsic CRSWDs, in which sleep disturbances are caused by alterations to the endogenous circadian rhythm system due to chronic changes in the regulation or capture mechanism of the biological clock, and extrinsic circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, in which sleep disorders, such as jet lag or shift-work disorder, result from environmental changes that cause a mismatch between sleep-wakefulness times and internal circadian rhythms. Sleep diaries, actigraphy, and determination of day and night phase markers (dim light melatonin onset and core body temperature minimum) have all become routine diagnostic methods for CRSWDs. Common treatments for CRSWD currently include sleep health education, time therapy, light therapy, melatonin, and hypnotic drug therapy. Here, we review the progress in the epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic evaluation, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of intrinsic CRSWD, with emphasis on the latter, in the hope of bolstering the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CRSWDs.

    Abstract In vitro stem cell-derived embryo and organ models, termed embryoids and organoids, respectively, provide promising experimental tools to study physiological and pathological processes in mammalian development and organ formation. Most of current embryoid and organoid systems are developed using conventional three-dimensional cultures that lack controls of spatiotemporal extracellular signals. Microfluidics, an established technology for quantitative controls and quantifications of dynamic chemical and physical environments, has recently been utilized for developing next-generation embryoids and organoids in a controllable and reproducible manner. In this review, we summarize recent progress in constructing microfluidics-based embryoids and organoids. Development of these models demonstrates the successful applications of microfluidics in establishing morphogen gradients, accelerating medium transport, exerting mechanical forces, facilitating tissue coculture studies, and improving assay throughput, thus supporting using microfluidics for building next-generation embryoids and organoids for fundamental and translational research.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the value of combined chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and/or copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) for the prenatal diagnosis for women with advanced maternal ages, and to explore the challenges of prenatal genetic counseling brought by the types of fetal CNVs and uncertainty of related phenotypes.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 1 841 women with advanced maternal age who underwent interventional prenatal diagnosis at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of Xiamen University Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. Routine chromosomal karyotyping analysis and CMA/CNV-seq detection were carried out.
    Results: CMA/CNV-seq had detected pathogenic variants in 2 cases which had failed karyotyping analysis. Two hundred and twenty one fetal chromosomal abnormalities were detected by karyotyping analysis, among which 187 were detected by CMA/CNV-seq. CMA/CNV-seq analysis of 23 cases with balanced chromosome structural aberrations and 10 cases with low proportion mosaicisms (including a marker chromosome) had yielded a negative result. In addition, 26 cases (26/1 841, 1.4%) with pathogenic CNVs were discovered among those with a normal karyotype, of which 13 (50.0%) were recurrent CNVs associated with neurocognitive impairment, with 22q11.21 microdeletions and microduplications being the most common types (26.92%).
    Conclusion: The combination of karyotyping analysis and CMA/CNV-seq not only increased the rate of prenatal diagnosis, but also complemented with each other, which has facilitated genetic counseling and formulation of prenatal diagnosis strategy for the affected families.

    Abstract Purpose: Cystatins are associated with neuronal degeneration and nervous system healing. Cystatin C (Cys C) has recently been linked to brain injury and immunological inflammation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between serum Cys C levels and depression following intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
    Patients and methods: Between September 2020 and December 2022, 337 patients with ICH were sequentially recruited and followed up for three months. The post-stroke depression (PSD) and non-PSD groups were separated based on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). The PSD diagnosis was established based on the DSM-IV criteria. Cys-C levels were documented within twenty-four hours of admission.
    Results: Three months after ICH, 93 (27.6%) of 337 enrolled patients were diagnosed with depression. The Cys C levels were significantly higher in depressed patients than in nondepressed patients after ICH (1.32 vs 1.01; p<0.001). After adjusting for potential confounding variables, depression after ICH was associated with the highest quartile of Cys C levels (odds ratio (OR) = 3.195, 95% CI: 1.562-6.536; p=0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) curve predicted that the ideal cut-off for CysC levels as a predictor of depression after ICH would be 0.730, resulting in 84.5% sensitivity and 88.4% specificity, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.880 (95% CI: 0.843-0.917; p< 0.0001).
    Conclusion: Increased CysC concentrations were independently related to depression three months after ICH, highlighting that CysC levels at admission may be a potential biomarker for predicting the onset of depression following ICH.

    Abstract Introduction: This study explored the application of bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs)-on-Beads (BoBs) technique, especially its ability to detect microdeletion/microduplication regions with a single probe.
    Methods: Both chromosome karyotyping and BoBs technique were applied on a total of 2218 pregnant women. Chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) was performed on patients whose cells were reported as being abnormal by BoBs technique with a single probe.
    Results: Twenty-two cases were detected as microdeletion/microduplication with a single probe, which was consistent with the CMA results.
    Conclusions: We believe that the microdeletion/microduplication results detected by BoBs technique with a single probe provide comprehensive guidance for prenatal diagnosis.

    Abstract Crystallization selectivity is an important principle in polymorph control. Ribavirin Form I, Form II, DMSO solvate, and amorphous ribavirin are prepared, and the short-range order similarities between these solid forms and ribavirin aqueous solution and DMSO solution are compared via mid-frequency Raman difference spectra (MFRDS). The crystallization process from amorphous ribavirin to Form I and from solution to amorphous phase is explained. Reasons for the difficulty in preparing the DMSO solvate are proposed. The rationale provided for the crystallization selectivity provides a foundation for the synthesis of metastable phases with a robust and convenient method.

    Abstract The complex process by which a single-celled zygote develops into a viable embryo is nothing short of a miraculous wonder of the natural world. Elucidating how this process is orchestrated in humans has long eluded the grasp of scientists due to ethical and practical limitations. Thankfully, pluripotent stem cells that resemble early developmental cell types possess the ability to mimic specific embryonic events. As such, murine and human stem cells have been leveraged by scientists to create in vitro models that aim to recapitulate different stages of early mammalian development. Here, we examine the wide variety of stem cell-based embryo models that have been developed to recapitulate and study embryonic events, from pre-implantation development through to early organogenesis. We discuss the applications of these models, key considerations regarding their importance within the field, and how such models are expected to grow and evolve to achieve exciting new milestones in the future.
