    Abstract Exceptional points (EPs) have recently emerged as a new method for engineering the response of open physical systems, that is, systems that interact with the environment. The systems at the EPs exhibit a strong response to a small perturbation. Here, we show a method by which the sensitivity of silicon resonant sensors can be enhanced when operated at EPs. In our experiments, we use a pair of mechanically coupled silicon micromechanical resonators constituting a parity-time (PT)-symmetric dimer. Small perturbations introduced on the mechanically coupled spring cause the frequency to split from the EPs into the PT-symmetric regime without broadening the two spectrum linewidths, and this frequency splitting scales with the square root of the perturbation strength. The overall signal-to-noise ratio is still greatly enhanced, although the measured noise spectral density of the EP sensing scheme has a slight increase comparable to the traditional counterpart. Our results pave the way for resonant sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity.

    Abstract Light is one of most important factors to plants because it is necessary for photosynthesis. In this study, physiological and gene expression analyses under different light intensities were performed in the seedlings of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) clone GT1. When light intensity increased from 20 to 1000 µmol m(-2) s(-1), there was no effect on the maximal quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry (Fv/Fm), indicating that high light intensity did not damage the structure and function of PSII reaction center. However, the effective photochemical quantum yield of PSII (Y(II)), photochemical quenching coefficient (qP), electron transfer rate (ETR), and coefficient of photochemical fluorescence quenching assuming interconnected PSII antennae (qL) were increased significantly as the light intensity increased, reached a maximum at 200 µmol m(-2) s(-1), but decreased from 400 µmol m(-2) s(-1). These results suggested that the PSII photochemistry showed an optimum performance at 200 µmol m(-2) s(-1) light intensity. The chlorophyll content was increased along with the increase of light intensity when it was no more than 400 µmol m(-2) s(-1). Since increasing light intensity caused significant increase in H2O2 content and decreases in the per unit activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD and POD, but the malondialdehyde (MDA) content was preserved at a low level even under high light intensity of 1000 µmol m(-2) s(-1), suggesting that high light irradiation did not induce membrane lipid peroxidation in rubber tree. Moreover, expressions of antioxidant-related genes were significantly up-regulated with the increase of light intensity. They reached the maximum expression at 400 µmol m(-2) s(-1), but decreased at 1000 µmol m(-2) s(-1). In conclusion, rubber tree could endure strong light irradiation via a specific mechanism. Adaptation to high light intensity is a complex process by regulating antioxidant enzymes activities, chloroplast formation, and related genes expressions in rubber tree.

    Abstract Plant drought stress response and tolerance are complex biological processes. In order to reveal the drought tolerance mechanism in rubber tree, physiological responses and expressions of genes involved in energy biosynthesis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging were systematically analyzed following drought stress treatment. Results showed that relative water content (RWC) in leaves was continuously decreased with the severity of drought stress. Wilting leaves were observed at 7 day without water (dww). Total chlorophyll content was increased at 1 dww, but decreased from 3 dww. However, the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline were significantly increased under drought stress. Peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were markedly enhanced at 1 and 3 dww, respectively. Meanwhile, the soluble sugar content was constant under drought stress. These indicated that photosynthetic activity and membrane lipid integrity were quickly attenuated by drought stress in rubber tree, and osmoregulation participated in drought tolerance mechanism in rubber tree. Expressions of energy biosynthesis and ROS scavenging systems related genes, including HbCuZnSOD, HbMnSOD, HbAPX, HbCAT, HbCOA, HbATP, and HbACAT demonstrated that these genes were significantly up-regulated by drought stress, and reached a maximum at 3 dww, then followed by a decrease from 5 dww. These results suggested that drought stress adaption in rubber tree was governed by energy biosynthesis, antioxidative enzymes, and osmoregulation.

    Abstract Photochemical reactions are vital synthetic means for the synthesis of natural products and highly strained molecules. However, it remains an immense challenge to control the chemo- and regioselectivity in the photoreactions of anthracene derivatives while maintaining high reactivity. Herein, we report the synthesis of two photoactive metallarectangles 1a and 1b by coordination-driven self-assembly of 2,6- and 2,7-bifunctionalized anthracenes with a half-sandwich rhodium template. By taking advantage of the rhodium template, the anthracene groups within the metallarectangles can be preorganized in a parallel fashion and exclusively undergo a photochemical [4 + 4] cycloaddition. As a result, the

    Abstract Objective: The clinical manifestations and treatment of three patients with hemodynamically unstable lupus myocarditis (LM) were analyzed.
    Methods: The clinical data of three patients with LM with hemodynamic instability, who were admitted to the emergency ICU of the south hospital of the Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2021, were collected and analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed.
    Results: Two of the three patients had the first onset of systemic lupus erythematosus. The other patient had mixed connective tissue disease in the past, and lupus was the main manifestation of this disease. At the onset of the disease, all patients had chest tightness and shortness of breath; two patients had a fever, and the markers of myocardial injury increased. Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound indicated that left ventricular ejection fraction decreased significantly. Cardiac insufficiency with cardiogenic shock rapidly appeared as the main manifestation. Two patients immediately started veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), and ECMO was also started in one patient after a pacemaker placement was ineffective. For all three patients, high-dose hormones were given to control the primary disease, and then the ECMO machines were removed successfully.
    Conclusion: VA-ECMO treatment should be implemented in patients with hemodynamically unstable LM as soon as possible to maintain the patient's hemodynamics and help them overcome the crisis of cardiac dysfunction, allowing more time for primary disease treatment.

    Abstract Background: Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD) is an effective method for treating lumbar disc herniation, and is typically performed under local anesthesia. However, inadequate analgesia during the procedure remains a concern, prompting the search for a medication that can provide optimal pain control with minimal impact on the respiratory and circulatory systems.
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to observe the effects of different doses of esketamine combined with dexmedetomidine on reducing visual analog scale (VAS) scores during surgical interventions.
    Methods: One hundred two patients who underwent PETD were randomly divided into a control group (group C: normal saline + dexmedetomidine), an E1 group (0.1 mg kg
    Results: Compared with those in group C, the VAS scores of patients in groups E1 and E2 were lower at T
    Conclusion: The combination of esketamine and dexmedetomidine can reduce VAS scores during certain stages of this type of surgery; it has minimal impact on respiration and circulation. However, this approach is associated with increased incidences of postoperative dizziness and psychiatric side effects, which may also affect patients' compliance with surgical instructions from medical staff. Patient satisfaction was not greater with dexmedetomidine combined with esketamine than with dexmedetomidine alone.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the optimal timing for initiating antiviral therapy in hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers with low-level viremia (LLV).
    Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 126 HBV carriers with LLV who underwent liver biopsy. Patients' clinical data, routine blood test results, portal vein diameter, splenic vein diameter and thickness, and measurements (LSM) within 1 week before liver biopsy were obtained. Single-factor and multifactor statistical methods were used to analyze factors that affected inflammation and fibrosis in pathological liver tissues. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze liver stiffness and HBV DNA levels to determine liver tissue inflammation and fibrosis. R -Studio software was used to draw nomograms, calibration plots, and model decision curves.
    Results: Infection duration and HBV DNA levels affected liver tissue inflammation. Albumin(ALB), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), HBV DNA, liver stiffness, age, and splenic thickness affected liver fibrosis. The best cutoff value of the LSM for diagnosing liver inflammation and fibrosis was 7.45 (specificity, 92%). The best cutoff value of HBV DNA for diagnosing liver inflammation and fibrosis was 39.5 (specificity, 96%). HBV DNA,and splenic thickness affected the treatment decision in naive chronic hepatitis Bpatients with LLV CONCLUSIONS: HBV carriers with LLV have high incidences of liver tissue inflammation and fibrosis. The infection duration and HBV DNA levels affected liver inflammation whereas the ALB, AST AST levels, HBV DNA, LSM, age, and splenic thickness affected liver fibrosis. Eligible expansion of antiviral treatment indications is necessary, however, a universal treatment approach may be inefficient. HBV DNA can be a reference for initiating antiviral therapy.
