    Abstract To construct an early clinical prediction model for AVF dysfunction in patients undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) and perform internal and external verifications. We retrospectively examined clinical data from 150 patients diagnosed with MHD at Hefei Third People's Hospital from January 2014 to June 2023. Depending on arteriovenous fistula (AVF) functionality, patients were categorized into dysfunctional (n = 62) and functional (n = 88) cohorts. Using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) regression model, variables potentially influencing AVF functionality were filtered using selected variables that underwent multifactorial logistic regression analysis. The Nomogram model was constructed using the R software, and the Area Under Curve(AUC) value was calculated. The model's accuracy was appraised through the calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test, with the model undergoing internal validation using the bootstrap method. There were 11 factors exhibiting differences between the group of patients with AVF dysfunction and the group with normal AVF function, including age, sex, course of renal failure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, Platelet count (PLT), Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus, D-dimer (D-D), Fibrinogen (Fib), and Anastomotic width. These identified factors are included as candidate predictive variables in the LASSO regression analysis. LASSO regression identified age, sex, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, anastomotic diameter, blood phosphorus, and serum D-D levels as 7 predictive factors. Unconditional binary logistic regression analysis revealed that advanced age (OR = 4.358, 95% CI: 1.454-13.062), diabetes (OR = 4.158, 95% CI: 1.243-13.907), hyperlipidemia (OR = 3.651, 95% CI: 1.066-12.499), D-D (OR = 1.311, 95% CI: 1.063-1.616), and hyperphosphatemia (OR = 4.986, 95% CI: 2.513-9.892) emerged as independent risk factors for AVF dysfunction in MHD patients. The AUC of the predictive model was 0.934 (95% CI: 0.897-0.971). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed high consistency between the model's predictive results and actual clinical observations (χ2 = 1.553, P = .092). Internal validation revealed an AUC of 0.911 (95% CI: 0.866-0.956), with the Calibration calibration curve nearing the ideal curve. Advanced age, coexisting diabetes, hyperlipidemia, blood D-D levels, and hyperphosphatemia are independent risk factors for AVF dysfunction in patients undergoing MHD.

    Abstract Background: Polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ pro12Ala (PPAR-γ Pro12Ala) have been associated with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in several studies. However, the results of these studies are not entirely consistent. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between the PPAR-γ Pro12Ala polymorphisms and NAFLD.
    Methods: Studies were identified by searching PubMed database and manual assessment of the cited references in the retrieved articles. Study-specific relative risks (RRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using a random-effect model. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.
    Results: Relevant medical researches show that 11 studies have been conducted on the analysis of NAFLD for meta-analysis, with a total of 2404 cases and 3959 participating controls. Meta-analysis results show that PPAR-γ Pro12Ala polymorphism and NALAD Ala alleles[no association between dominance model (OR = 0.968, 95%CI: 0.734-1.276, P = 0.815); Pro/Ala vs. Pro/Pro (OR = 0.930, 95 % CI: 0.701-1.233, P = 0.612); Ala/Ala vs. Pro/Pro (OR = 1.220, 95 % CI: 0.668-2.230, P = 0.518); recessive model (OR = 0.907, 95 % CI: 0.516-1.596, P = 0.736)]. Moreover, stratification by ethnicity also revealed that no matter it is in Caucasian populations or in Asian populations, NAFLD has no association with the PPAR-γ Pro12Ala polymorphism.
    Conclusions: According to the meta-analysis, both in Asians and Caucasian populations, the PPAR-γ Pro12Ala polymorphism can't be demonstrated to have any link with susceptibility to NAFLD.

    Abstract Background: Hypoxia-inducible lipid droplet-associated (HILPDA) is considered to have tumorigenic activity, but its function in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is rarely known. This work aimed to assess the regulatory functions as well as the in-depth mechanism of HILPDA in LUAD.
    Methods: The expression of HILPDA in LUAD tissues was analyzed based on TCGA database, and then qRT-PCR was performed to confirm the HILPDA expression in LUAD cell lines. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to measure the correlation of HILPDA expression and overall survival in patients with LUAD. Then, Cell-Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation and transwell assays were performed to detect cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Moreover, the pathways closely related to the high HILPDA expression was analyzed by Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. The levels of Cell cycle pathway-related proteins were assessed using western blotting.
    Results: Herein, we revealed that HILPDA was expressed at high levels in LUAD tissues and cell lines, and LUAD patients with the higher HILPDA expression presented the shorter survival time. Down-regulation of HILPDA in Calu-3 cells can retard cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as arrest cells in the G1 phase, whereas overexpression of HILPDA in A549 cells presented a marked promotion on these phenotypes. Moreover, we surveyed that knockdown of HILPDA restrained the activation of cell cycle pathway, while up-regulation of HILPDA led to opponent outcomes.
    Conclusions: In summing, HILPDA may act as an oncogenic factor in LUAD cells via modulating cell cycle pathway, which represent a novel biomarker of tumorigenesis in LUAD patients.

    Abstract This study aimed to explore the effect of an inoculation, Lelliottia sp., on the corn straw compost's physico-chemical properties, composition, and the succession of bacterial community structure. The compost community composition and succession changed after Lelliottia sp. inoculation. Inoculation increased the bacterial community diversity and abundance in the compost to promote composting. The inoculated group entered the thermophilic stage on the first day, lasting 8 days. Judging the pile maturity based on the carbon:nitrogen ratio and germination index values, the inoculated group reached the maturity standard, which was 6 days faster than the control group. The relationship between environmental factors and bacterial communities was comprehensively analyzed using redundancy analysis. Temperature and carbon:nitrogen ratio were the main environmental factors driving the succession of bacterial communities, to provide basic information on the changes of physicochemical indexes and bacterial community succession in Lelliottia sp. inoculated maize straw composting, providing assistance for practical composting applications of this strain.

    Abstract The compound pollutants formed by microplastics and cadmium present a significant potential threat to the soil-based ecosystem, and it is urgent to carry out relevant ecotoxicological studies. However, the lack of appropriate test methods and scientific mathematical analysis models has restricted the progress of research. Based on an orthogonal test design, a ternary combined stress test was performed to study the effect of microplastics and cadmium on earthworms. This study used the particle size and concentration of microplastics as well as the concentration of cadmium as test factors. Using the improved factor analysis model and the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method, a new model was constructed according to the response surface methodology to analyze the acute toxic effects on earthworms under the combined stress of microplastics and cadmium. In addition, the model was tested in a soil-polluted environment. The results show that the model can perfectly integrate the spatiotemporal cross effects of the concentration and time of the applied stress, and the scientific data analysis process ensures the efficient development of ecotoxicological research in the actual compound pollution environment. Moreover, the results of the filter paper test and soil test showed that the equivalent toxicity ratio of cadmium concentration, microplastic concentration, and microplastic particle size to earthworms as 26:35:39 and 23:36:41, respectively. In terms of the interaction effect, a certain positive interaction was observed between the cadmium concentration and that of the microplastics and their particle size, while a negative interaction was observed between the concentration of microplastics and their particle size. This research provides a test basis and model reference for early monitoring of the health of contaminated soils and assessments of ecological safety and security.

    Abstract Heilongjiang province has made great contributions to ensuring the food security of China. Grain production has increased year by year, followed by a large amount of straw—especially the production of corn straw. Straw returning is the best treatment method from the perspective of ecology. This study simulated modern mechanized operation conditions from the field of soil biological characteristics to explore the impact of straw decomposition on the changes in the soil microbial community. In this study, in the black soil region of Northeast China (45°45′27″~45°46′33″ N, 126°35′44″~126°55′54″ E), the orthogonal experimental design was used to experiment for two years (2019–2020), using straw length, amount, and buried depth as returning factors. The carbon source utilization intensity algorithm that was developed by our team was used to extract a single carbon source. A compound mathematical model was constructed based on path analysis and grey relation analysis. This study analyzed the interspecific symbiotic relationship of soil microbes in the process of straw returning and explored the regulatory methods and schemes with which to promote straw decomposition. The results showed that in the first year after straw returning, the cumulative decomposition rate of straw could reach 55.000%; the supplement of the carbon source was glycyl-l-glutamic acid, which was helpful for the decomposition of straw. It was found that cyclodextrin should be added within 90–120 days after straw returning to promote decomposition. In the second year of straw returning, the cumulative decomposition rate of straw can reach 73.523% and the carbon sources α-d-lactose and d-galactonic acid γ-lactone should be supplemented appropriately to promote straw decomposition. This study provides an experimental basis for corn straw returning to the black soil of the cold regions, along with the scientific and technological support for the sustainable development of agriculture and a guarantee of national food security.

    Abstract A late Quaternary red sandy sediment called the Old Red Sand is widely distributed in coastal South China. Most studies have considered it a single sand body composed of wind-transported beach sand. However, the Old Red Sand also contains silt and clay. To determine the implications of this fine fraction for the origin of the Old Red Sand, four sections were studied using various depositional analyses. Under a scanning electron microscope, quartz particles in the fine fraction are well rounded, with abundant aeolian marks on their surfaces. The grain size is homogeneous and comparable to that of typical loess. The diffuse reflectance spectroscopy results suggest a higher content of haematite than goethite within the fine fraction, indicating subaerial deposition without strong hydration. The geochemical composition of the fine fraction is close to that of the upper continental crust and comparable to that of typical aeolian deposits, indicating the extensiveness of material sources, with terrestrial dust being fully mixed by wind over a large area. The depositional characteristics, sedimentary environment and provenance of the fine fraction are markedly different from those of the coarse fraction, which is composed of near-source beach sand. Therefore, the Old Red Sand is not a deposit with a single source. Both near-source coarse beach sand and exotic fine dust contributed to the formation of the deposit in the late Pleistocene, especially the last glacial period. The fine fraction is a key factor contributing to the cementation and redness of the sand body.
