    Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, pruritic inflammatory disease with a high prevalence, ranking as the leading non-fatal burden of skin diseases. The pathogenesis of AD involves interactions among genetic factors, impaired skin barrier function, dysbiosis, and immune dysregulation. The immune phenotype is highly heterogeneous, with the Th2-dominant immune response. AD exhibits diverse clinical phenotypes, posing challenges for the establishment of clinical diagnostic criteria and personalized management. Targeted biologic therapies focusing on Th2-type inflammatory responses and small-molecule drugs blocking inflammatory signaling pathways have significantly improved the management of the moderate or severe AD. However, the balance between efficacy and safety remains to be evaluated due to limited data. Despite significant advancement in basic and clinical research on AD in recent years, there are still many questions that need to be resolved urgently.

    Abstract Using two pairs of macroscopic equations deduced from a dipole lattice model including electronic polarization (EP) of ions and local field effects (LFEs) self-consistently, optical lattice vibrations in monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (BN) are studied theoretically for both in-plane and out-of-plane motions. Longitudinal and transverse optical (LO and TO) modes and out-of-plane (ZO) modes are derived, and explicit expressions are obtained for phonon dispersion, group velocity and density of states. The analytical phonon dispersion relations describe previous numerical results very well; the LO phonon dispersion is identical to the analytical expression of Sohier et al, which shows the degeneracy of the LO and TO modes at [Formula: see text] and the splitting at finite wavevectors due to the long-range macroscopic field. Whilst relating to microscopic quantities, the linear coefficients of the lattice equations are determined by first-principles calculated quantities (such as macroscopic susceptibilities). Therefore the EP and LFEs on the vibrational properties are studied. With no EP or LFEs, all the phonon frequencies are overestimated significantly. Including EP, the LFEs increase (decrease) the in-plane (out-of-plane) dielectric susceptibility by a factor of 2.5-3.5. Both ionic EP and LFEs should be included to obtain an accurate description of the lattice dynamics.

    Abstract Adult flatfoot is a common foot deformity, mainly manifested as medial arch collapsing, hindfoot valgus and forefoot abduction. People have a more thorough understanding of the pathological changes and pathogenesis of flatfoot with further research. There is a new expert consensus for adult flatfoot published in Foot & Ankle Inter. in 2020. The expert panel reviewed the latest literature to develop consensus recommendations for flatfoot, including its nomenclature, diagnosis, classification and operative treatment. The consensus represents a new understanding of the disease and a new concept because of the authority of its authors and the comprehensiveness of its content, and it is also a phased summary of the theoretical and clinical progress of adult flatfoot. This article gives a detailed interpretation of the content in the consensus.

    Abstract Exciton energy spectra of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in various dielectric environments are studied with an effective mass model using the Keldysh potential for the screened electron-hole interaction. Two-dimensional (2D) excitons are calculated by solving a radial equation (RE) with a shooting method, using boundary conditions that are derived by applying the asymptotic properties of the Keldysh potential. For any given main quantum number n, the exciton Bohr orbit shrinks as [Formula: see text] becomes larger (m is the orbital quantum number) resulting in increased strength of the electron-hole interaction and a decrease of the exciton energy. Further, both the exciton energy and its effective radius decrease linearly with [Formula: see text]. The screened hydrogen model (SHM) (Olsen et al 2016 Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 056401) is examined by comparing its exciton energy spectra with our RE solutions. While the SHM is found to describe the nonhydrogenic exciton Rydberg series (i.e. the energy's dependence on n) reasonably well, it fails to account for the linear dependence of the exciton energy on the orbital quantum number. The exciton effective radius expression of the SHM can characterize the exciton radius's dependence on n, but it cannot properly describe the exciton radius's dependence on m, which is the cause of the SHM's poor description of the exciton energy's m-dependence. Analytical variational wave-functions are constructed with the 2D hydrogenic wave-functions for a number of strongly bound exciton states, and very close exciton energies and wave-functions are obtained with the variational method and the RE solution (exciton energies are within a 6% of deviation). The variational wave-functions are further applied to study the Stark effects in 2D TMDs, with an analytical expression derived for evaluating the redshift the ground state energy.

    Abstract To investigate the clinical and radiographic results of anterior tibial tendon (ATT) transfer combined with supramalleolar osteotomy in stage 3b of varus ankle osteoarthritis. Totally 13 patients with stage 3b of varus ankle osteoarthritis who received ATT transfer combined with supramalleolar osteotomy in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2018 to May 2021 were recruited. There were 6 males and 7 females with a mean age of (57.8±9.3) years. The overall evaluations included the preoperatively and postoperatively radiographic alignments, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) clinical ankle-hindfoot scale. The mean follow-up period was (33.5±13.4) months. The tibial articular surface (TAS), talar tilt (TT), and foot and ankle offset (FAO) changed from 83.3°±2.4° to 92.8°±1.7°, 12.3°±4.5° to 7.0°±4.7°, and -7.4%±2.8% to -0.7%±2.2% after the operation, respectively (all

    Abstract Objective: Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) is the efficient primary compound of Lycium barbarum and has been shown to alleviate hyperglycemia-aggravated cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the cerebrovascular changes related to diabetes mellitus (DM) and the potential cerebrovascular protective effects of LBP are still unknown. This study aimed to explore the cerebrovascular protective functions of LBP on cerebral I/R injury in diabetic rats and its potential mechanisms.
    Materials and methods: Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were separated into three groups: the normoglycemic (NG), diabetic hyperglycemic (HG), and HG + LBP (50 mg/kg) treatment groups. A 30 min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) with 24 h reperfusion was established. The neurological deficits, cerebral water content, infarct volume, and cerebrovascular permeability were assessed to evaluate the extent of cerebral injury. Histopathological alterations were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin, Nissl, immunohistochemical, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling staining. A transmission electron microscope was used to detect ultrastructural alterations, and a western blot was used to examine protein expression.
    Results: The HG rats exhibited a significant increase in neurological deficits, cerebral water content, infarct volume, cerebrovascular permeability, neural cell death, and apoptosis compared with the NG rats, and the LBP treatment alleviated these effects. Cerebrovascular structure analysis showed that the cross-sectional area (CSA) and wall thickness were remarkably altered in the HG rats compared with the NG rats. The LBP treatment protected the cerebrovascular structure and vasoreactivity by decreasing the wall thickness and increasing the CSA, α-smooth muscle actin, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression of cerebral vessels.
    Conclusions: The intake of LBP benefits the cerebrovascular structure and vasoreactivity in diabetic rats. Our research provides a possible new strategy for treating stroke in patients with DM.
