    Abstract Although reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium has been used as a vital treatment of various patients with cardiovascular disease, the accompanying myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) can cause further damage, resulting in a poor prognosis. The present study aimed to explore the roles and regulatory mechanisms of interleukin (IL)-32, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, in MIRI. Cardiomyocytes were subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) to mimic MIRI. The effects of IL-32 on oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis of H/R-treated cells were assessed. Given that the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) and NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) play roles in the inflammatory response and myocardial ischemia, the role of this regulatory axis in the function of IL-32 was evaluated. The results indicated that IL-32 levels were elevated following H/R treatment. Downregulation of IL-32 expression attenuated H/R-induced reduction in cell viability, LDH release, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Moreover, downregulation of IL-32 expression reversed the activation of the NOD2/NOX2/MAPK signaling pathway caused by H/R treatment. NOD2 overexpression altered the effects of the downregulation of IL-32 expression on the cells, indicating that this regulatory axis mediated the function of IL-32. Collectively, the data indicated that IL-32 participated in the induction of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes during H/R treatment via the NOD2/NOX2/MAPK signaling pathway.

    Abstract During growth and aging, the role of the hippocampus in memory depends on its interactions with related brain regions. Particularly, two subregions, anterior hippocampus (aHipp) and posterior hippocampus (pHipp), play different and critical roles in memory processing. However, age-related changes of hippocampus subregions on structure and function are still unclear. Here, we investigated age-related structural and functional characteristics of 106 participants (7-85 years old) in resting state based on fractional anisotropy (FA) and functional connectivity (FC) in aHipp and pHipp in the lifespan. The correlation between FA and FC was also explored to identify the coupling. Furthermore, the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) was used to explore the relationship between cognitive ability and hippocampal changes. Results showed that there was functional separation and integration in aHipp and pHipp, and the number of functional connections in pHipp was more than that in aHipp across the lifespan. The age-related FC changes showed four different trends (U-shaped/inverted U-shaped/linear upward/linear downward). And around the age of 40 was a critical period for transformation. Then, FA analyses indicated that all effects of age on the hippocampal structures were nonlinear, and the white matter integrity of pHipp was higher than that of aHipp. In the functional-structural coupling, we found that the age-related FA of the right aHipp (aHipp.R) was negatively related to the FC. Finally, through the WASI, we found that the age-related FA of the left aHipp (aHipp.L) was positively correlated with verbal IQ (VERB) and vocabulary comprehension (VOCAB.T), the FA of aHipp.R was only positively correlated with VERB, and the FA of the left pHipp (pHipp.L) was only positively correlated with VOCAB.T. These FC and FA results supported that age-related normal memory changes were closely related to the hippocampus subregions. We also provided empirical evidence that memory ability was altered with the hippocampus, and its efficiency tended to decline after age 40.

    Abstract Human action intent recognition has become increasingly dependent on computational accuracy, real-time responsiveness, and model lightness. Model selection, data filtering, and experimental design are three critical factors for the recognition of human intention in research. However, the performance of machine learning algorithms can vary depending on factors such as sensor location, the number of sensors used, channel selection, and dimensional combinations. Moreover, the collection of adequate and balanced data in such scenarios can be challenging. To address this issue, we present a comparative analysis of 12 commonly used machine learning algorithms for human action intention recognition. The synthetic minority oversampling technique is applied to fill in missing data. Traversing all possible combinations would require conducting 686 experiments, which is a daunting task in terms of both cost and efficiency. To tackle this challenge, we employ an orthogonal experiment design based on the Quasi-horizontal method. Our analysis indicates that lightGBM outperforms other algorithms in recognizing eight human daily activities. Furthermore, we conduct a polar difference and variance analysis based on a comprehensive balanced multi-metric orthogonal experiment for lightGBM using various sensor combinations and dimensions. The optimal combinations of different sensor numbers in terms of position, channel, and dimension are derived using this approach. Notably, our experimental design reduces the number of experiments required to only 49 times.

    Abstract The acidosis anti-tumor therapy, based on the altered energy metabolism pathway of tumor cells, has been proposed as an attractive method for cancer selective treatment. However, the strategy of inducing tumor acidosis by using a single drug to simultaneously inhibit both lactate efflux and consumption has not been reported yet. Herein, an in situ enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA) system was rationally fabricated to induce tumor acidosis apoptosis for cancer selective therapy. Depending on the sequential effect of the in situ EISA system, the targeted drug was successively distributed on the membrane and intracellular, inhibiting MCT4 mediated lactate efflux and mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle mediated lactate consumption, respectively. Through the dual obstruction of lactate metabolism to trigger tumor acidosis, the in situ EISA nanomedicine showed selective growth and migration inhibition against cancer cells. In addition, the nanomedicine also displayed a radio-sensitization effect in vitro due to causing the mitochondrial dysfunction, and exhibited a prominent synergistic chemo-radiotherapy anti-tumor performance in vivo. Accordingly, this work demonstrated that the in situ EISA system could endow the LND with sequential-dual effects to induce tumor acidosis, which may provide an enlightening strategy for anticancer drug delivery and cancer selective therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: With the help of the sequential effect of in situ EISA , the serial attack of LND against different targets was effectively realized to induce tumor acidosis and combined chemo-radiotherapy, implying the importance of the relationship between structure and function, which could offer a distinctive inspiration for future drug delivery system design and anti-tumor application.

    Abstract The inherent immune and metabolic tumor microenvironment (TME) of most solid tumors adversely affect the antitumor efficacy of various treatments, which is an urgent issue to be solved in clinical cancer therapy. In this study, a mitochondrial localized in situ self-assembly system is constructed to remodel the TME by improving immunogenicity and disrupting the metabolic plasticity of cancer cells. The peptide-based drug delivery system can be pre-assembled into nanomicelles in vitro and form functional nanofibers on mitochondria through a cascade-responsive process involving reductive release, targeted enrichment, and in situ self-assembly. The organelle-specific in situ self-assemblyeffectively switches the role of mitophagy from pro-survival to pro-death, which finally induces intense endoplasmic reticulum stress and atypical type II immunogenic cell death. Disintegration of the mitochondrial ultrastructure also impedes the metabolic plasticity of tumor cells, which greatly promotes the immunosuppresive TME remodeling into an immunostimulatory TME. Ultimately, the mitochondrial localized in situ self-assembly system effectively suppresses tumor metastases, and converts cold tumors into hot tumors with enhanced sensitivity to radiotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy. This study offers a universal strategy for spatiotemporally controlling supramolecular self-assembly on sub-organelles to determine cancer cell fate and enhance cancer therapy.

    Abstract Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is one of the most important parasitic natural enemies of Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in peach and pear orchards. The artificial rearing T. dendrolimi have been widely used in biological control programs in recent years. However, its actual parasitic effect on the pest in the field is less, so it is important to develop attractants to increase the parasitic efficiency of the parasitoids. T. dendrolimi can be easily attracted by semiochemicals derived from flowers, intact plants, herbivore-attacked plants, and insects in its orchard habitats. In this paper, 73 semiochemicals were evaluated as potential attractants at three concentrations (0.1 mg/mL, 1 mg/mL, and 10 mg/mL) to T. dendrolimi by Y-tube olfactometer bioassays and Electroantennogram (EAG) technology, and then the mixtures of active individual compounds were further tested and evaluated in the field. As a result, 17 individual compounds showed attractive bioactivity to T. dendrolimi. Interestingly, when methyl salicylate and benzaldehyde mixed with linalool oxide or cis-3-hexenyl caproate in a volume ratio of 10:3:3 respectively showed excellent attractant bioactivity for T. dendrolimi in the orchard field. Thus, introducing such parasitoid attractants in orchard habitat may improve the biological control effect to pests.

    Abstract This study proposed a method for fabricating 3D microstructures of ice without a supporting material. The inkjet printing process was performed in a low humidity environment to precisely control the growth direction of the ice crystals. In the printing process, water droplets (volume = hundreds of picoliters) were deposited onto the previously formed ice structure, after which they immediately froze. Different 3D structures (maximum height = 2000 µm) could be formed by controlling the substrate temperature, ejection frequency and droplet size. The growth direction was dependent on the landing point of the droplet on the previously formed ice structure; thus, 3D structures could be created with high degrees of freedom.
