    Abstract Objective: The association of FGFR2-rs13387042 polymorphism with breast cancer (BC) susceptibility in women remains inconclusive due to varying reports. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between FGFR2-rs13387042 polymorphism and susceptibility to BC.
    Methods: Relevant literature were acquired through searches across multiple databases. Odds ratio (OR) values were pooled to assess the risk of BC for different alleles and genotypes. The heterogeneity among the included literature was evaluated. Sensitivity analysis was used to verify the stability of the results. Egger's linear regression test was used to assess the significance of publication bias of the included literature.
    Results: A total of 17 publications were included, encompassing 122,607 cases and 175,966 controls. There was significantly increased risk of BC for allele A compared with G (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.14-1.67, P < .001), genotype AA compared with GG (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.29-1.38, P < .001), and genotype GA compared with GG (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.12-1.26, P < .001). Both Egger's test and funnel plot indicated the presence of publication bias. After adjusting potential publication bias by the trim-and-fill method, the comparison of allele A versus G (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.13-1.17, P < .001), genotype AA versus GG (OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.28-1.37, P < .001), and genotype GA versus GG (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.09-1.22, P < .001) remained statistically significant. In various subgroups, the allele A showed significantly higher risk of BC upon allele G in estrogen receptor (ER) positive BC, ER negative BC, progesterone receptor (PR) positive BC, PR negative BC, triple-negative BC, pathological grade I BC, grade II BC, and grade III breast cancer. The subsequent sensitivity analysis suggested the above findings stable and reliable.
    Conclusion: In this study, we found that the allele A of the FGFR2-rs13387042 polymorphism is associated with increased risk of developing breast cancer. This study underscores its potential as a genetic marker for personalized risk assessment and targeted interventions.

    Abstract Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), which are considered promising stem cells for regeneration of periodontal bony tissue, can also manipulate alveolar bone remodeling by exosomes. In this study, we investigated interactions between PDLSCs under osteogenic differentiation and osteoclast precursors. The results showed that conditioned medium from PDLSCs under 5d osteogenic induction promoted osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells. The exosomes extracted from those conditioned media showed similar effects on osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, exosomes from PDLSCs under 5d of osteogenic induction showed significantly high expression of circ_0000722, compared with exosomes from PDLSCs before osteogenic induction. Downregulation of circ_0000722 significantly attenuated the effect of PDLSC-derived exosomes on the osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells. Our findings suggested that exosomal circ_0000722 derived from periodontal ligament stem cells undergoing osteogenic differentiation might promote osteoclastogenesis by upregulating TRAF6 expression and activating downstream NF-κB and AKT signaling pathways.

    Abstract The utilization of rhizomes from the genus Atractylodes has been challenging due to their closely related origins. In this study, we developed an analytical strategy to differentiate Atractylodes lancea (A. lancea), Atractylodes chinensis (A. chinensis), Atractylodes japonica (A. japonica), and Atractylodes macrocephala (A. macrocephala), and compared their volatile compositions. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to analyze the volatile profiles of essential oils extracted from 59 batches of samples. Chemometric methods enabled a better understanding of the differences in volatile oils between the four species and identified significant components affecting their classification and quality. A total of 50 volatile components were identified from the essential oils by GC/MS. Unsupervised and supervised chemometric analyses accurately distinguished A. lancea, A. chinensis, A. japonica, and A. macrocephala. Furthermore, five characteristic chemical markers, namely hinesol, β-eudesmol, atractylon, atractylodin and atractylenolide I, were obtained, and their respective percentage contents in individual species and samples were determined. This study provides a valuable reference for the quality evaluation of medicinal plants with essential oils and holds significance for species differentiation and the rational clinical application of Atractylodes herbs.

    Abstract Lakes on the Inner Mongolia Plateau, located in the ecologically fragile area of the northern border of China, play a very important role in regulating the regional climate and ecological environment and maintaining biodiversity. Owing to the dual influence of natural factors and human factors, the lake water environment in Inner Mongolia is facing challenges. To clarify the overall water quality of lakes in Inner Mongolia, based on the water quality data of typical lakes in Inner Mongolia in autumn 2019(October-November) and summer 2021(July-August), the temporal and spatial variation in water quality was discussed, and the influence of different indexes on lake water quality was analyzed, and the key factors affecting lake water quality were identified. The results showed as follows:① the spatiotemporal distribution of multiple physicochemical indices of typical lakes in Inner Mongolia were different in the two seasons.

    Abstract Airborne pollen causes various types of allergies in humans, and the extent of allergic infection is related to the presence of different types of sporo–pollen and existing meteorological conditions in a certain area. Therefore, an aeropalynological study of 72 airborne samples with a hydrofluoric acid (HF) treatment was conducted in the Haizhu district of Guangzhou, China, in 2016, to identify the temporal variations in airborne sporo–pollen and the relationship between airborne sporo–pollen concentrations and different meteorological variables in Guangzhou, China. Forty-five types of airborne pollen, seven types of airborne spores, and some undetermined sporo–pollen taxa were identified with two separate plant habitats occurring during this period (from January to December 2016): arboreal pollen (tree-based) and non-arboreal pollen (herb, shrub, aquatic, liane, etc.). Furthermore, the daily records of four key meteorological variables (temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, and wind speed) were acquired to distinguish the pollen seasons and correlated with Spearman's rho test to establish a pollen-weather data book with the seasonal variations. The two leading seasons were identified based on pollen abundance: spring and autumn. Among them, the primary dominant sporo–pollen families during the spring season were Poaceae, Pinaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, Microlepia sp., and Polypodiaceae. Conversely, Artemisia sp., Asteraceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Alnus sp., Corylus sp., Myrtaceae, and Rosaceae were the dominant pollen species during autumn. However, few pollen grains were identified in January, May–July, and December. The statistical analysis revealed that temperature had both positive and negative correlations with sporo–pollen concentrations. However, precipitation and relative humidity had a strong impact on the sporo–pollen dispersion and exhibited a negative correlation with the sporo–pollen concentrations. The wind speed had a positive but strong correlation with the sporo–pollen concentration during the study period. Some inconsistent results were found due to environmental variations, vegetation type, and climate change around the study area. This study will facilitate the identification of pollen seasons to prevent the occurrence of pollen-related allergies in the Guangzhou city area.

    Abstract Natural Medicinal Materials (NMMs) have a long history of global clinical applications, accompanied by extensive informational records. Despite their significant impact on healthcare, the field faces a major challenge: the non-standardization of NMM knowledge, stemming from historical complexities and causing limitations in broader applications. To address this, we introduce a Systematic Nomenclature for NMMs, underpinned by ShennongAlpha, an AI-driven platform designed for intelligent knowledge acquisition. This nomenclature system enables precise identification and differentiation of NMMs. ShennongAlpha, cataloging over ten thousand NMMs with standardized bilingual information, enhances knowledge management and application capabilities, thereby overcoming traditional barriers. Furthermore, it pioneers AI-empowered conversational knowledge acquisition and standardized machine translation. These synergistic innovations mark the first major advance in integrating domain-specific NMM knowledge with AI, propelling research and applications across both NMM and AI fields while establishing a groundbreaking precedent in this crucial area.

    Abstract Notch signaling is highly conserved in most animals and plays critical roles during neurogenesis as well as embryonic development. Synthetic Notch-based systems, modeled from Notch receptors, have been developed to sense and respond to a specific extracellular signal. Recent advancement of synNotch has shown promise for future use in cellular engineering to treat cancers. However, synNotch from Morsut et al. (2016) has a high level of ligand-independent activation, which limits its application. Here we show that adding an intracellular hydrophobic sequence (QHGQLWF, named as RAM7) present in native Notch, significantly reduced ligand-independent activation. Our enhanced synthetic Notch receptor (esNotch) demonstrates up to a 14.6-fold reduction in ligand-independent activation, without affecting its antigen-induced activation efficiency. Our work improves a previously reported transmembrane receptor and provides a powerful tool to develop better transmembrane signaling transduction modules for further advancement of eukaryotic synthetic biology.
