    Abstract A-synuclein (α-syn) is a protein associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatment. Therefore, there has been a strong drive to clarify the pathology of PD associated with α-syn. Several mechanisms have been proposed to unravel the pathological cascade of this disease, and most of them share a particular similarity: cell-to-cell communication through exosomes (EXO). Here, we show that tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 10B (TNFRSF10B) promotes the secretion of α-syn-containing EXO by microglia, resulting in motor dysfunction in PD. Upregulation of TNFRSF10B predicted severer condition in PD patients. In response to α-syn preformed fibrils (PFF), the expression of TNFRSF10B was increased in microglia. PFF-treated microglia exhibited a pro-inflammatory phenotype and caused neuronal damage by secreting α-syn-containing EXO. TNFRSF10B downregulation in microglia inhibited the secretion of α-syn-containing EXO and the release of pro-inflammatory factors, and ameliorated neuronal injury. PFF induced motor dysfunction in mice, which was ameliorated by inhibiting TNFRSF10B to suppress microglia-mediated α-syn communication or by directly depleting microglia. Taken together, these results indicate that TNFRSF10B promotes neuronal injury and motor dysfunction by delivery of α-syn-containing EXO and highlight the TNFRSF10B knockdown as a potential therapeutic target in PD.

    Abstract Cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is caused by blood flow restoration after an ischaemic insult, and effective treatments targeting I/R injury are still insufficient. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cerebral I/R injury. This study investigated whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) could inhibit oxidative stress caused by cerebral I/R injury and explored the detailed mechanism. VDR was highly expressed in brain tissues of mice with cerebral I/R injury. Pretreatment with the active vitamin D calcitriol and synthetic vitamin D analogue paricalcitol (PC) reduced autophagy and apoptosis, improved neurological deficits and decreased infarct size in mice after cerebral I/R. Calcitriol or PC upregulated VDR expression to prevent cerebral I/R injury by affecting oxidative stress. Silencing of VDR reversed the protective effects of calcitriol or PC on brain tissues in mice with cerebral I/R. The bioinformatics analysis revealed that VDR interacted with SMAD family member 3 (SMAD3). It was validated through the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay that SMAD3 can bind to the VDR promoter and VDR can bind to the SMAD3 promoter. Collectively, these findings provide evidence that reciprocal activation between SMAD3 and VDR transcription factors defines vitamin D-mediated oxidative stress to prevent cerebral I/R injury.

    Abstract Electromagnetic wave pollution has become a significant harm posed to human health and precision instruments. To shelter such instruments from electromagnetic radiation, high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are extremely desirable. The focus of this research is lightweight, high-absorption EMI shielding composites. Simple aqueous dispersion and drying procedures were used to prepare cotton fiber (CF)-based sheets combined with various zinc oxide (ZnO) contents. These composites were carbonated in a high-temperature furnace at 800 °C for two hours. The obtained CF/ZnO samples have densities of 1.02-1.08 g/cm

    Abstract Schistosomes are flatworm parasites that undergo a complex life cycle involving two hosts. The regulation of the parasite's developmental processes relies on both coding RNAs and non-coding RNAs. However, the roles of non-coding RNAs, including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in schistosomes remain largely unexplored. Here we conduct advanced RNA sequencing on male and female S. japonicum during their pairing and reproductive development, resulting in the identification of nearly 8,000 lncRNAs. This extensive dataset enables us to construct a comprehensive co-expression network of lncRNAs and mRNAs, shedding light on their interactions during the crucial reproductive stages within the mammalian host. Importantly, we have also revealed a specific lncRNA, LNC3385, which appears to play a critical role in the survival and reproduction of the parasite. These findings not only enhance our understanding of the dynamic nature of lncRNAs during the reproductive phase of schistosomes but also highlight LNC3385 as a potential therapeutic target for combating schistosomiasis.

    Abstract Cylindrical panorama stitching is able to generate high resolution images of a scene with a wide field-of-view (FOV), making it a useful scene representation for applications like environmental sensing and robot localization. Traditional image stitching methods based on hand-crafted features are effective for constructing a cylindrical panorama from a sequence of images in the case when there are sufficient reliable features in the scene. However, these methods are unable to handle low-texture environments where no reliable feature correspondence can be established. This paper proposes a novel two-step image alignment method based on deep learning and iterative optimization to address the above issue. In particular, a light-weight end-to-end trainable convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture called ShiftNet is proposed to estimate the initial shifts between images, which is further optimized in a sub-pixel refinement procedure based on a specified camera motion model. Extensive experiments on a synthetic dataset, rendered photo-realistic images, and real images were carried out to evaluate the performance of our proposed method. Both qualitative and quantitative experimental results demonstrate that cylindrical panorama stitching based on our proposed image alignment method leads to significant improvements over traditional feature based methods and recent deep learning based methods for challenging low-texture environments.

    Abstract Lithium-ion batteries, with high energy density and long cycle life, have become the battery of choice for most vehicles and portable electronic devices; however, energy density, safety and cycle life require further improvements. Single-functional group electrolyte additives are very limited in practical applications, a ternary polymer bifunctional electrolyte additive copolymer (acrylonitrile-butyl hexafluoro methacrylate- poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate- methyl ether) (PMANHF) was synthesized by free radical polymerization of acrylonitrile, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate. A series of characterizations show that in Li metal anodes, the preferential reduction of PMANHF is conducive to the formation of a uniform and stable solid electrolyte interphase layer, and Li deposition is uniform and dense.

    Abstract Introduction: Gastric cancer is third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and remarkably threatens human health and life. BAIAP2L2 is an epithelial-specific BAR domain protein that considered to be closely related to cell migration. In this study, we explored the specific role of BAIAP2L2 in human gastric cancer.
    Methods: BAIAP2L2 expression was analyzed via online database and immunohistochemistry. The proliferation was detected using CCK8 and colony formation assay. The migration and invasion was confirmed by transwell assay, and the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells was detected by flow cytometry.
    Results: BAIAP2L2 was highly expressed in tumour tissues and its expression significantly correlated with tumor diameter, T stage, pTNM stage and lymph node metastasis, respectively. Compared with GES-1 cells, SGC7901, MKN28, MKN45, AGS and BGC-823 tumor cells were all presented a high-expression of BAIAP2L2. The in vitro results showed that knockdown of BAIAP2L2 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced the apoptosis of gastric cancer cell. Further, knockdown of BAIAP2L2 inhibited the expression of the related proteins of AKT/mTOR and Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathways.
    Conclusion: BAIAP2L2 is upregulated in gastric cancer, and knockdown of BAIAP2L2 inhibited the proliferation and metastasis through the inactivation of AKT/mTOR and Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathways.

    Abstract Mitochondria supply adenosine triphosphate (ATP) essential for neuronal survival and regeneration. Brain injury and ischemia trigger acute mitochondrial damage and a local energy crisis, leading to degeneration. Boosting local ATP supply in injured axons is thus critical to meet increased energy demand during nerve repair and regeneration in adult brains, where mitochondria remain largely stationary. Here, we elucidate an intrinsic energetic repair signaling axis that boosts axonal energy supply by reprogramming mitochondrial trafficking and anchoring in response to acute injury-ischemic stress in mature neurons and adult brains. P21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) is a brain mitochondrial kinase with declined expression in mature neurons. PAK5 synthesis and signaling is spatiotemporally activated within axons in response to ischemic stress and axonal injury. PAK5 signaling remobilizes and replaces damaged mitochondria via the phosphorylation switch that turns off the axonal mitochondrial anchor syntaphilin. Injury-ischemic insults trigger AKT growth signaling that activates PAK5 and boosts local energy supply, thus protecting axon survival and facilitating regeneration in in vitro and in vivo models. Our study reveals an axonal mitochondrial signaling axis that responds to injury and ischemia by remobilizing damaged mitochondria for replacement, thereby maintaining local energy supply to support central nervous system (CNS) survival and regeneration.
