    Abstract A 57-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of severe mitral regurgitation. Minimally invasive mitral valvuloplasty was performed. Six months after surgery, he presented with discomfort. Urgent coronary angiography showed a normal coronary artery and large left ventricular aneurysm. After atypical Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was diagnosed, his clinical symptoms and heart function were improved with medication for his persistent left ventricular aneurysm. After 24 hours, Hotler showed a lethal ventricular arrhythmia. Surgical treatment was recommended and refused. After four years of observation, he died of asystole. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is considered a severe complication after surgery. The prognosis is very poor if it has catastrophic complications.

    Abstract In this work, a molecular-level kinetic model of ethane/propane steam cracking was developed by using a hybrid structural unit-bond electron matrix framework. The molecular-level simulation was conducted, creating a detailed feedstock composition, formulating the reaction rules, and automating the generation and visualization of reaction networks. Ordinary differential equations were automatically generated based on the Arrhenius equation, while the kinetic parameters were reduced via linear free energy relations (LFERs). Furthermore, proper mathematical models for mass transfer, heat transfer, and momentum transfer within the cracking furnace were integrated into the molecular-level kinetic model, enabling the simultaneous calculation of the transfer process and chemical kinetics in steam cracking. The model was validated by its precise prediction of product yields, outlet pressure, and outlet temperature, which were collected from an industrial gas-cracking furnace.

    Abstract A phytochemical investigation on the 90% ethanol extract of the leaves of Croton lachnocarpus Benth. led to three new ent-abietane diterpenoids, 7β,15-dihydroxy-ent-abieta-8,11,13-trien-3-one (1), 2β,15-dihydroxy-ent-abieta-8,11,13-triene (2), and 7β,13α,15-trihydroxy-ent-abieta-8(14)-en-3-one (3). Structural elucidation of all the compounds were performed by spectral methods such as 1 D and 2 D (¹H- ¹H COSY, HMQC, NOESY and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, in addition to electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The isolated compounds were tested in vitro for cytotoxic activity against 6 tumor cell lines. As a result, compound 3 exhibited some cytotoxicities against all the tested tumor cell lines with IC₅₀ value less than 30 μM.

    Abstract Chinese citizens' participation in COVID-19 prevention and control has made great contributions to the successful fight against the pandemic. The factors that have impacted citizens' participation have rarely been reported based on both social-psychological and political environmental theories. This paper presented a study to explore the determinants of Chinese citizens' participation in COVID-19 prevention and control based on a combined model of the theory of planned behavior, the norm activation model, and political opportunity structure theory. A dataset involving 463 respondents from Harbin in northeast China was acquired and analyzed. The results showed that the comprehensive model explained 62.9% of the total variance in citizens' participation behavior. The openness to public participation not only significantly directly influenced citizens' participation but also indirectly affected participation behaviors through attitude and perceived behavioral control, both of which were important mediators and had the greatest overall impacts. The awareness of consequences and subjective norms were crucial antecedents to the activation of other influencing factors. Personal norms indirectly affected participation behavior through the mediation of attitude. The empirical results showed the comprehensiveness, effectiveness, and high explanatory power of the postulated model. The study also provides both new theoretical perspectives for explaining public participation and useful practical implications for future policy development in promoting citizens' participation in public health emergency management.

    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic and complex autoimmune disease that is marked by an inflammatory response, synovial hyperplasia, vascularisation, fascial formation, cartilage and bone destruction, which can lead to joint deformity and even loss of function, ultimately affecting a person's health and quality of life. Although the pathogenesis of RA is unclear, growing evidence suggests that inflammation-associated cells infiltrate joints, causing tissue damage, inflammation and pain. This disruption in the balance between host tolerance and immune homeostasis the progression of RA. Existing drug therapy and surgical treatments for RA are unable to completely cure the disease or reverse its accelerated progression. Therefore, the design and development of an appropriate and effective drug delivery system will substantially improve the therapeutic effect. In this review, by describing the inflammatory microenvironment of rheumatoid arthritis and the associated inflammatory cells, the progress of targeting strategies and applications of nanotechnology in the disease is summarised, which will be helpful in providing new ideas for the subsequent treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

    Abstract Metabolic heterogeneity is one of the characteristics of tumour cells. In order to adapt to the tumour microenvironment of hypoxia, acidity and nutritional deficiency, tumour cells have undergone extensive metabolic reprogramming. Metabolites involved in tumour cell metabolism are also very different from normal cells, such as a large number of lactate and adenosine. Metabolites play an important role in regulating the whole tumour microenvironment. Taking metabolites as the target, it aims to change the metabolic pattern of tumour cells again, destroy the energy balance it maintains, activate the immune system, and finally kill tumour cells. In this paper, the regulatory effects of metabolites such as lactate, glutamine, arginine, tryptophan, fatty acids and adenosine were reviewed, and the related targeting strategies of nano-medicines were summarised, and the future therapeutic strategies of nano-drugs were discussed. The abnormality of tumour metabolites caused by tumour metabolic remodelling not only changes the energy and material supply of tumour, but also participates in the regulation of tumour-related signal pathways, which plays an important role in the survival, proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumour cells. Regulating the availability of local metabolites is a new aspect that affects tumour progress. (The graphical abstract is by Figdraw).

    Abstract Community plays a crucial role in the successful prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic in China. However, evaluation of community capability to fight against COVID-19 is rarely reported. The present study provides a first attempt to assess community capability to combat COVID-19 in Shenyang, the capital city of Liaoning province in Northeast China, based on a modified framework of a community readiness model. We conducted semi-structured interviews with ninety key informants from fifteen randomly selected urban communities to collect the data. The empirical results indicate that the overall level of community capability for epidemic prevention and control in Shenyang was at the stage of preparation. The specific levels of the fifteen communities ranged from the stages of preplanning to preparation to initiation. Concerning the level of each dimension, community knowledge about the issue, leadership, and community attachment exhibited significant disparities between communities, while there were slight differences among communities on community efforts, community knowledge of efforts, and community resources. In addition, leadership demonstrated the highest overall level among all the six dimensions, followed by community attachment and community knowledge of efforts. Community resources displayed the lowest level, followed by community efforts. This study not only extends the application of the modified community readiness model to evaluate community capability of epidemic prevention in the Chinese community context, but also offers practical implications for enhancing Chinese communities' capabilities to deal with various future public health emergencies.
