    Abstract In order to explore the impact of the application of blockchain technology on enterprise performance, as well as the mechanism of enterprise risk and the information disclosure quality on this impact process, and taking the data of A-share listed companies in China’s manufacturing industry from 2015 to 2022 as a research sample, this paper adopts methods such as multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) modeling to conduct an empirical investigation. Findings: The application of blockchain technology can improve enterprise performance. Enterprise risk plays a partial mediating effect, because blockchain technology can reduce enterprise risk and thereby improve enterprise performance. Information disclosure quality has an inhibitory influence on the process by which blockchain technology affects enterprise risk and a facilitating influence on the process by which enterprise risk affects enterprise performance. The results show that manufacturing enterprises with low information disclosure quality can reduce enterprise risk by combining with blockchain technology in production, management, and other aspects, thus improving enterprise performance and promoting sustainable development of enterprise economy.

    Abstract Scope: To investigate the underlying mechanism of Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) in ameliorating diabetic nephropathy (DN) by regulating intestinal microbiota ecology and intestinal mucosal barrier.
    Methods and results: Genetically db/db mice are used to establish DN mouse model to monitor the therapeutic effects of AS-IV and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) against DN. Supplementation with AS-IV dramatically attenuates several clinical indicators of DN in db/db mice. In addition, AS-IV markedly improves intestinal barrier function, modifies intestinal permeability, and reduces inflammation. Moreover, AS-IV treatment remarkably improves intestinal dysbiosis in db/db mice, characterized by an elevated abundance of Akkermansia, Ligilactobacillus, and Lactobacillus, indicating the fundamental role of the microbiome in DN progression. Furthermore, FMT derived from AS-IV-treated db/db mice is potentially efficient in antagonizing renal dysfunction, rebalancing gut microbiota, and improving intestinal permeability in recipient db/db mice. AS-IV-enriched Akkermansia muciniphila dramatically alleviates DN and intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction in db/db mice. Intriguingly, AS-IV intervention dramatically diminishes ferroptosis in the kidney and colon tissues. CONCLUSION : Intestinal microbiome alterations and ferroptosis modulation by AS-IV may play instrumental roles in this mechanism, providing compelling evidence for the role of the gut-renal axis in DN.

    Abstract Background: 3D visualization technology applies computers and other devices to create a realistic virtual world for individuals with various sensory experiences such as 3D vision, touch, and smell to gain a more effective understanding of the relationships between real spatial structures and organizations. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of 3D visualization technology in human anatomy teaching/training and explore the potential factors that affect the training effects to better guide the teaching of classroom/laboratory anatomy.
    Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies on teaching human anatomy using 3D visualization technology. We extensively searched three authoritative databases, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase; the main outcomes were the participants' test scores and satisfaction, while the secondary outcomes were time consumption and enjoyment. Heterogeneity by I² was statistically determined because I²> 50%; therefore, a random-effects model was employed, using data processing software such as RevMan, Stata, and VOSviewer to process data, apply standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval, and subgroup analysis to evaluate test results, and then conduct research through sensitivity analysis and meta-regression analysis.
    Results: Thirty-nine randomized controlled trials (2,959 participants) were screened and included in this study. The system analysis of the main results showed that compared with other methods, including data from all regions 3D visualization technology moderately improved test scores as well as satisfaction and enjoyment; however, the time that students took to complete the test was not significantly reduced. Meta-regression analysis also showed that regional factorsaffected test scores, whereas other factors had no significant impact. When the literature from China was excluded, the satisfaction and happiness of the 3D virtual-reality group were statistically significant compared to those of the traditional group; however, the test results and time consumption were not statistically significant.
    Conclusion: 3D visualization technology is an effective way to improve learners' satisfaction with and enjoyment of human anatomical learning, but it cannot reduce the time required for testers to complete the test. 3D visualization technology may struggle to improve the testers' scores. The literature test results from China are more prone to positive results and affected by regional bias.

    Abstract The malignant lung cancer has a high morbidity rate and very poor 5-year survival rate. About 80% - 90% of protein degradation in human cells is occurred through the ubiquitination enzyme pathway. Ubiquitin ligase (E3) with high specificity plays a crucial role in the ubiquitination process of the target protein, which usually occurs at a lysine residue in a substrate protein. Different ubiquitination forms have different effects on the target proteins. Multiple short chains of ubiquitination residues modify substrate proteins, which are favorable signals for protein degradation. The dynamic balance adapted to physiological needs between ubiquitination and deubiquitination of intracellular proteins is beneficial to the health of the organism. Ubiquitination of proteins has an impact on many biological pathways, and imbalances in these pathways lead to diseases including lung cancer. Ubiquitination of tumor suppressor protein factors or deubiquitination of tumor carcinogen protein factors often lead to the progression of lung cancer. Ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is a treasure house for research and development of new cancer drugs for lung cancer, especially targeting proteasome and E3s. The ubiquitination and degradation of oncogene proteins with precise targeting may provide a bright prospect for drug development in lung cancer; Especially proteolytic targeted chimerism (PROTAC)-induced protein degradation technology will offer a new strategy in the discovery and development of new drugs for lung cancer.

    Abstract Palaeogeological events and climate oscillations profoundly impact the demographics and distributions of small-range species, increasing the extinction risk. The largest water strider worldwide, Gigantometra gigas (Hemiptera: Gerridae), exhibits restricted distributions in Vietnam and southern China. Herein, we generated three genomic datasets (mitogenomes, 146 nuclear protein-coding genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms) with ecological niche modelling (ENM) to explicitly test whether the present-day distribution of G. gigas actually resulted from geographical and climatic effects. We found that the origin of this largest water strider reached the divergence time of the genus within Gerridae, providing a greater opportunity to explore its response to geographic movements. The right-lateral motion of the Red River Fault facilitated the divergence of two phylogeographic lineages, resulting in the "north-south component" genetic pattern in G. gigas. The Hainan and southeast Vietnam populations of the southern linage were completely separated by the Beibu Gulf but exhibited similar genetic compositions, confirming that Hainan had a continental origin and that Hainan Island joined with the Indo-China Peninsula to promote gene exchange among populations. Additionally, we noticed the low genetic diversity but long demographic history of the northern lineage, which displayed population dynamics opposite to those of other organisms. Integrating the demographic changes and ENM findings revealed that suitable habitat contraction and rapid demographic decline during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) triggered the low genetic diversity of the northern lineage. Overall, the demographic history of the largest water strider was mainly shaped by geographical features, and first provided evidence from the phylogeographic perspective of aquatic insects to support the hypothesis of Hainan Island shifting.

    Abstract Histone H3 lysine 4 mono-methylation (H3K4me1) marks poised or active enhancers. KMT2C (MLL3) and KMT2D (MLL4) catalyze H3K4me1, but their histone methyltransferase activities are largely dispensable for transcription during early embryogenesis in mammals. To better understand the role of H3K4me1 in enhancer function, we analyze dynamic enhancer-promoter (E-P) interactions and gene expression during neural differentiation of the mouse embryonic stem cells. We found that KMT2C/D catalytic activities were only required for H3K4me1 and E-P contacts at a subset of candidate enhancers, induced upon neural differentiation. By contrast, a majority of enhancers retained H3K4me1 in KMT2C/D catalytic mutant cells. Surprisingly, H3K4me1 signals at these KMT2C/D-independent sites were reduced after acute depletion of KMT2B, resulting in aggravated transcriptional defects. Our observations therefore implicate KMT2B in the catalysis of H3K4me1 at enhancers and provide additional support for an active role of H3K4me1 in enhancer-promoter interactions and transcription in mammalian cells.
