    Abstract Glaucoma is a common eye disease and a major cause of blindness. We designed brinzolamide (Brla)- and latanoprost (Ltp)-loaded nano-lipoidal carriers (NLCs) for glaucoma treatment. Brla and Ltp-loaded NLCs were designed and characterized by assessing the zeta potential, polydispersity index, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy images, and particle size. Drug release was assessed by in vitro and ex vivo methods to determine transcorneal permeation, ocular irritation, and cell viability. Moreover, Brla- and Ltp-loaded NLCs were assessed in terms of the management of raised intraocular pressure (IOP). The size of Brla- and Ltp-loaded NLCs was <200 nm, the drug entrapment efficiency was 97.5%, and the zeta potential was 35.33 mv. The transcorneal permeation levels of Blra and Ltp after 8 h were 50.5% and 49.4%, respectively; after 24 h, they were 81.4% and 84.2%, respectively. However, NLCs are not cytotoxic. Moreover, Brla+Ltp-treated NLCs effectively reduced IOP in glaucoma patients. Therefore, Brla+Ltp-loaded NLCs showed promising effects against glaucoma.

    Abstract Background: An atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is an uncommon and aggressive pediatric central nervous system neoplasm. However, a universal clinical consensus or reliable prognostic evaluation system for this malignancy is lacking. Our study aimed to develop a risk model based on comprehensive clinical data to assist in clinical decision-making.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study by examining data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) repository, spanning 2000 to 2019. The external validation cohort was sourced from the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University, China. To discern independent factors affecting overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS), we applied Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and Random Forest (RF) regression analyses. Based on these factors, we structured nomogram survival predictions and initiated a dynamic online risk-evaluation system. To contrast survival outcomes among diverse treatments, we used propensity score matching (PSM) methodology. Molecular data with the most common mutations in AT/RT were extracted from the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) database.
    Results: The annual incidence of AT/RT showed an increasing trend (APC, 2.86%; 95% CI:0.75-5.01). Our prognostic study included 316 SEER database participants and 27 external validation patients. The entire group had a median OS of 18 months (range 11.5 to 24 months) and median CSS of 21 months (range 11.7 to 29.2). Evaluations involving C-statistics, DCA, and ROC analysis underscored the distinctive capabilities of our prediction model. An analysis via PSM highlighted that individuals undergoing triple therapy (integrating surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy) had discernibly enhanced OS and CSS. The most common mutations of AT/RT identified in the COSMIC database were SMARCB1, BRAF, SMARCA4, NF2, and NRAS.
    Conclusions: In this study, we devised a predictive model that effectively gauges the prognosis of AT/RT and briefly analyzed its genomic features, which might offer a valuable tool to address existing clinical challenges.

    Abstract Partial nitrification-anammox is a promising process in mature landfill leachate treatment, but there is 11% residue nitrate to be removed. Denitrification or partial denitrification process can be used to remove the nitrate in the presence of carbon source to achieve advanced nitrogen removal. However, there is a lack of biodegradable organic matter in mature landfill leachate which can be used as carbon source for denitrification. Fortunately, refractory dissolved organic matter has been exploited to be used as a potential carbon source for denitrification in recent years, which is expected to achieve advanced nitrogen removal in mature landfill leachate treatment. Bacteria such as Chloroflexi can biodegrade refractory dissolved organic matter in mature landfill leachate as readily biodegradable organic matter by sludge adsorption-degradation mechanism, which can promote advanced nitrogen removal in anammox-based process. Furthermore, in order to improve the refractory dissolved organic matter utilization efficiency, several methods to improve the biodegradability of refractory dissolved organic matter are summarized, which include extended hydraulic retention time, prolonged sludge retention time, bioaugmentation and advanced oxidation processes. A novel integrated anammox-based process is proposed for mature landfill leachate treatment, in which ozonated nanofiltration concentrate is recirculated to provide carbon source for advanced nitrogen removal. Compared with conventional treatment process, this proposed process has the advantage of both economical- and environmental-effective in mature landfill leachate treatment.

    Abstract Abnormal RNA methylation and dysregulation of miRNA are frequently occurred in bladder cancer. Melittin is a potential drug candidate for intravesical chemotherapy against bladder cancer. However, the underlying epigenetic mechanism by which melittin-induced anti-tumor effect remains unclear. Here, we showed that melittin selectively induced apoptosis of bladder cancer cells in a METTL3-dependent manner. Ectopic expression of METTL3 significantly blocked melittin-induced apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. MicroRNA-sequence analysis identified miR-146a-5p suppression contributed to the melittin-induced selective antitumor effect. Further investigation revealed that METTL3-guided m6A modification methylated pri-miR-146 at the flanking sequence, which was responsible for the pri-miR-146 maturation. Moreover, NUMB/NOTCH2 axis was identified as a downstream target signal that mediated the pro-survival role of miR-146a-5p in bladder cancer cells. Importantly, METTL3 and miR-146a-5p were positively correlated with recurrence and poor prognosis of patients with bladder cancer. Our study indicates that METTL3 acts as a fate determinant that controls the sensitivity of bladder cancer cells to melittin treatment. Moreover, METTL3/miR-146a-5p/NUMB/NOTCH2 axis plays an oncogenic role in bladder cancer pathogenesis and could be a potential therapeutic target for recurrent bladder cancer treatment.

    Abstract Background: APOBEC family play an important role in cancer mutagenesis and tumor development. The role of APOBEC family in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been studied comprehensively.
    Materials and methods: The expression data of pan-cancer as well as LUAD was obtained from public databases. The expression level of APOBEC family genes was analyzed in different normal and cancer tissues. APOBEC mutagenesis enrichment score (AMES) was utilized to evaluate the APOBEC-induced mutations and the relation of APOBEC with genomic instability. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify differentially enriched pathways. Univariate Cox regression and Lasso regression were applied to screen key prognostic genes. The immune cell infiltration was estimated by CIBERSORT. RT-qPCR assay, CCK-8 and Transwell assay were conducted to explore gene expression and lung cancer cell invasion.
    Results: Cancer tissues had significantly altered expression of APOBEC family genes and the expression patterns of APOBEC family were different in different cancer types. APOBEC3B was the most aberrantly expressed in most cancer types. In LUAD, we observed a significantly positive correlation of AMES with intratumor heterogeneity (ITH), tumor neoantigen burden (TNB), and tumor mutation burden (TMB). High AMES group had high mutation counts of DNA damage repair pathways, and high enrichment of cell cycle and DNA repair pathways. We identified four prognostic genes (LYPD3, ANLN, MUC5B, and FOSL1) based on AMES, and constructed an AMES-related gene signature. The expressions of four genes were enhanced and accelerated the invasion ability and viability of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, we found that high group increased oxidative stress level.
    Conclusions: APOBEC family was associated with genomic instability, DNA damage-related pathways, and cell cycle in LUAD. The AMES-related gene signature had a great potential to indicate the prognosis and guide immunotherapy/chemotherapy for patients suffering from LUAD.

    Abstract Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common pathological type of non-small cell lung cancer; identifying preferable biomarkers has become one of the current challenges. Given that VTA1 has been reported associated with tumor progression in various human solid cancers but rarely reported in LUAD, herein, RNA sequencing data from TCGA and GTEx were obtained for analysis of VTA1 expression and differentially expressed gene (DEG). Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis of VTA1-related DEGs was performed by GO/KEGG, GSEA, immune cell infiltration analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. In addition, the clinical significance of VTA1 in LUAD was figured out by Kaplan-Meier Cox regression and prognostic nomogram model. R package was used to analyze incorporated studies. As a result, VTA1 was highly expressed in various malignancies, including LUAD, compared with normal samples. Moreover, high expression of VTA1 was associated with poor prognosis in 533 LUAD samples, as well as T stage T2&T3&T4, N stage N1&N2&N3, M stage M1, pathologic stage II&III&IV, and residual tumor R1&R2, et al. (P < 0.05). High VTA1 was an independent prognostic factor in Cox regression analysis; Age and cytogenetics risk were included in the nomogram prognostic model. Furthermore, a total of 4232 DEGs were identified between the high- and the low-expression group, of which 736 genes were up-regulated and 3496 genes were down-regulated. Collectively, high expression of VTA1 is a potential biomarker for adverse outcomes in LUAD. The DEGs and pathways recognized in the study provide a preliminary grasp of the underlying molecular mechanisms of LUAD carcinogenesis and progression.

    Abstract Anammox is an efficient low-carbon nitrogen removal technology for mature landfill leachate (MLL). However, it produces 11 % nitrate theoretically, which needs further removal. In this study, the mechanisms of exploiting refractory organic matter (ROM) from an MLL as an inner carbon source for advanced nitrogen removal via anammox were systematically analyzed, and the effects of hydraulic retention time on nitrogen and ROM removal/utilization were investigated. Without any external carbon source, a total nitrogen and organic carbon removal efficiency of 94.50 % and 27.12 %, respectively, were achieved, with a nitrogen loading rate of 2.4 kg N/(m

    Abstract Cuticular wax, a critical defense layer for plants, remains a relatively unexplored factor in rumen fermentation. We investigated the impact of cuticular wax on rumen fermentation using triticale as a model. In total, six wax classes were identified, including fatty acids, aldehydes, alkane, primary alcohol, alkyresorcinol, and β-diketone, with low-bloom lines predominated by 46.05% of primary alcohols and high-bloom lines by 35.64% of β-diketone. Low-wax addition (2.5 g/kg DM) increased the gas production by 19.25% (

    Abstract A high amount of easily degradable organics and the absence of trace metals (TMs) in household food waste (HFW) lowered the stability and efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD) of HFW. Leachate addition to the AD of HFW can provide ammonia nitrogen and TMs to address the accumulation of volatile fatty acids and the lack of TMs. To study the effect of leachate addition on increasing organic loading rate (OLR), both mono-digestion of HFW and AD of HFW with leachate addition were evaluated using two continuously stirred tank reactors. The OLR of the mono-digestion reactor only reached 2.5 g COD/L/d. However, with the addition of ammonia nitrogen and TMs, the OLR of the failed mono-digestion reactor increased by 2 and 3.5 g COD/L/d, respectively. The specific methanogenic activity increased by 94.4% and the hydrolysis efficiency increased by 135%. Finally, the OLR of mono-digestion of HFW reached 8 g COD/L/d, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 8 days and methane production rate of 2.4 L/L/d. In the leachate addition reactor, the OLR reached 15 g COD/L/d, while the HRT and methane production were 7 days and 3.4 L/L/d, respectively. This study demonstrates that leachate addition substantially improves the AD efficiency of HFW. The two main mechanisms of increasing the OLR of an AD reactor are the buffer capacity of ammonia nitrogen and the stimulation of methanogen by TMs from leachate.
