    Abstract Background: Circular RNAs are closed endogenous RNAs that are involved in the progression of diverse tumors. Even with the most advanced combined treatments, patients with glioblastoma multiforme have a median survival time of <15 months. This study aimed to investigate the roles of circular PLOD2 (circPLOD2) in glioma tumorigenesis and tumor development and to clarify its tumor-promoting effects by bioinformatics analysis and molecular experiments.
    Methods: To determine the characteristics of circPLOD2 expression, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was conducted. Stable knockdown of circPLOD2 was implemented for functional assays. Cell Counting Kit-8 and colony formation assays were used to measure cell proliferation. Transwell assays and tube formation assays were used to evaluate cell invasion and angiogenesis abilities, respectively. An intracranial xenograft model was established to determine the function of circPLOD2 in vivo. Further biochemical and Western blot analyses were conducted to evaluate proteins associated with circPLOD2.
    Results: circPLOD2 was upregulated in glioma tissues and cells. High expression of circPLOD2 was significantly associated with tumor size, World Health Organization grade, and molecular characteristics of glioma. circPLOD2 deregulation affected glioblastoma multiforme cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis. Knockdown of circPLOD2 inhibited tumorigenesis in vivo. Further biochemical analysis showed that circPLOD2 was involved in oncogenic pathways and correlated with the expression of proteins related to proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis.
    Conclusions: Our data indicate that circPLOD2 promotes glioma tumorigenesis and tumor development in vitro and in vivo and that suppressing circPLOD2 could be a novel therapeutic strategy for glioma.

    Abstract Ethylene polymerization with bis(imino)pyridlyiron precatalysts generally produces linear polyethylene (PE) even with the presence of α-olefins because α-olefins are not incorporated into polymeric products. Interestingly, α-olefins, such as hexene-1 or butene-1, have been found to act as effective chain transfer agents in the ethylene polymerization promoted by nonsymmetrical bis(imino)pyridyliron complexes with modified methylalumoxane (MMAO), resulting in higher catalytic activities with higher amounts of polymers with lower molecular weights, and, more importantly, narrower molecular weight distributions of the resultant polyethylenes (PE). This phenomenon confirms the assistance of α-olefins in the chain-termination reaction of iron-initiated polymerization and regeneration of the active species for further polymerization. Besides higher activities of the catalytic system, the formation of linear PE with trans-vinylene terminal groups and lower molecular weights are explained. The observation will provide a new pathway for enhancing catalytic activity and improving the quality of polyethylenes obtained by regulation of molecular weights and molecular weight distribution.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the potential effect of preoperative frailty on postoperative clinical outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
    Methods: Data of patients aged 18 years and older who were diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage, underwent aneurysm repair surgical intervention from 2005 to 2014. A retrospective database analysis was performed based on U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2005 to 2014. Frailty was determined using the Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) frailty-defining diagnoses indicator. Patients were stratified into frail and non-frail groups and the study endpoints were incidence of postoperative complications and related adverse clinical outcomes.
    Results: Among 20,527 included aSAH patients, 2303 (11.2%) were frail and 18,224 (88.8%) were non-frail. Significant differences were found between frailty and non-frailty groups in the four clinical outcomes (all p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that frailty was associated with significant higher risks of discharge to institutional care (aOR: 2.50, 95%CI: 2.10-2.97), tracheostomy or gastrostomy tube replacement (aOR: 4.41, 95%CI: 3.81-5.10) and postoperative complications (aOR: 3.29, 95%CI: 2.55-4.25) but a lower risk of death in hospital (aOR: 0.40, 95%CI: 0.33-0.49) as compared with non-frailty. Stratified analysis showed the impact of frailty on some of the outcomes were greater among patients younger than 65 years than their older counterparts.
    Conclusions: Frailty is significantly correlated with the increased risk of discharge to institutional care, tracheostomy or gastrostomy tube placement, and postoperative complications but with the reduced risk of in-hospital mortality outcomes after aneurysm repair. Frailty seems to have greater impact among younger adults than older ones. Baseline frailty evaluation could be applied to risk stratification for aSAH patients who were undergoing surgery.

    Abstract By forming a nick at the adenylation site instantaneously, nucleic acids are efficiently adenylated by T4 DNA ligase. The subsequent ligation is successfully suppressed in terms of rapid conversion of the instantaneous nick to a more stable gap. It is helpful to understand enzymatic ligation dynamics, and the adenylated products can be used for various practical applications.

    Abstract Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is considered the most concerning pathogen for seafood. Like other pathogens in food samples, its gene detection suffers from a problem of background interference when isothermal detection methods are used. The sensitivity and specificity greatly decrease due to large amounts of background genome. Here we describe a novel isothermal detection technology based on target-cyclized rolling circle amplification combined with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (tRCA-lamp). By avoiding unexpected ligation, a short dynamic adapter is employed to increase the sensitivity of target cyclization in the presence of the background genome. At the amplification step, highly specific detection is obtained by linear RCA and simplified LAMP (only two primers are used). Furthermore, visual detection is easily realized with hydroxynaphthol blue (HNB). In the oyster samples, the tRCA-lamp approach can detect V. parahaemolyticus with a detection limit of 22 cfu/g with none necessary to enrich the bacteria and remove the host DNA. This method gets rid of the complicated primer design process and can be extended to the detection of other pathogens in food samples.

    Abstract The physical properties and end applications of polyolefin materials are defined by their chain architectures and topologies. These properties can, in part, be controlled by a judicious choice of the steric and electronic properties of the catalyst and, in particular, the ligand framework. One major achievement in this field is the discovery of thermoplastic polyolefin elastomers that combine the processing and recyclable characteristics of thermoplastics with the flexibility and ductility of elastomers. These polymers are highly sought after as alternative materials to thermoset elastomers. In this perspective, works in the literature related to the development of nickel catalysts as well as their implementations for the synthesis of polyolefin elastomers are summarized in detail. Throughout the perspective, attention has been focused on developing the relationship between catalyst structure and performance, on strategies for the synthesis of polyolefin elastomer using nickel catalysts, on properties of the resultant polyolefin, such as degree of branching and crystallinity, as well as on their effects on mechanical properties. The future perspective regarding the most recent developments in single-step production of polyethylene elastomers will also be presented.

    Abstract This work demonstrates the potential of machine learning (ML) method to predict catalytic activity of transition metal complex precatalyst toward ethylene polymerization. For this purpose, 294 complexes and 15 molecular descriptors were selected to build the artificial neural network (ANN) model. The catalytic activity can be well predicted by the obtained ANN model, which was further validated by external complexes. Boruta algorithm was employed to explicitly decipher the importance of descriptors, illustrating the conjugated bond structure, and bulky substitutions are favorable for catalytic activity. The present work indicates that ML could give useful guidance for the new design of homogenous polyolefin catalyst.

    Abstract Antifouling materials have many important applications in biomedical devices and marine coating. Oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) or poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) exhibit promising antifouling properties and are widely used in biomedical engineering. Chiral selection is an important phenomenon in biological processes. Because of the influence of steric hindrance, the modification of chiral molecules with different chirality at interfaces will affect the intermolecular interaction at the interfaces and lead to different structures of interfacial molecules. The difference of surface structures such as surface hydration structure would impact the adsorption of biomolecules on the surface, thus causing different varieties of cell adhesion and cell growth. In this study, the influence on surface hydration and surface cell adhesion of OEG self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) modified with cysteine showing different chirality are explored. The water structure at the interfaces of OEG/water in different conditions was probed with sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS). The results show that the interfacial water structure can change significantly with either d-cysteine or l-cysteine modification on OEG. Water molecules are more ordered at the OEG/water interface under the d-cysteine modification on OEG SAMs, which improves the protein adsorption resistance of the surface. In contrast, l-cysteine modification would make the water less ordered at the OEG/protein solution interface and enhance the protein adsorption. Additionally, optical micrographs indicate that l-cysteine can significantly promote the OEG SAMs cell adhesion and growth, while d-cysteine exhibits an inhibitory effect, which is consistent with the results of SFG-VS experiments.
