    Abstract Water-in-water (w/w) emulsions have been recognized for their broad applications in foods, cosmetics, and biomedical engineering. In this work, silica Janus nanosheets (JNs) with polyacrylic acid (PAA) chains grafted on one surface via crushing functional silica foams, and used silica JNs as Pickering stabilizer to produce stable water-in-water (w/w) emulsions from the aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) containing methacrylic acid (MAA) and NaCl are prepared. The interfacial area of w/w emulsions increases linearly with the concentration of silica JNs, and the interfacial coverage of nanosheets is calculated to be about 98%. After polymerizing w/w emulsions prepared from MAA/NaCl ATPS, it is found that silica JNs are entrapped at the interface of w/w emulsions with the smooth PAA-grafted surface located toward MAA-rich phase due to their specific interaction. These results show that functional silica JNs can be used as a promising amphiphilic Pickering stabilizer to produce well-defined w/w emulsions for numerous application fields.

    Abstract Parabolic Trough Solar Receiver-Reactor (PTSRR) of Methanol Decomposition Reaction process (MDR), which can achieve chemical storage and efficient utilization of solar energy, has gained increasing attention recently. To comprehensively study the performance of PTSRR of MDR under off-design conditions and during dynamic processes, a model of PTSRR-MDR is developed and validated. Detailed energy and exergy analysis model are developed to figure out the irreversibility distribution. Results indicate that exergy destructions caused by solar concentrating and thermochemical reaction processes limit the improvement of exergy efficiency, which account 39.32% and 18.32%, respectively, under 800 DNI. When DNI step decreases from 800 to 400 W m⁻², the methanol conversion rate decreases from 90.0% to 40.9% in ∼400 s. The solar-to-chemical exergy efficiency increases from 16.39% to 32.80% immediately, then decreases to the lowest value in 30 s, and rises to 11.23%. The efficiency is lower than the stable value transiently because the exergy stored in solid phase is partly destructed when converted to chemical exergy. Then, dynamic performance under DNI step increase is studied. Due to thermal inertia, additional chemical energy and exergy are gained or lost, compared to the ideal process. The results may provide some guidance for further efficient operation control.

    Abstract Renewable energy infrastructure is highly interrelated to environmental sustainability and the accomplishment of sustainable development goals. A significant portion of China's outward foreign direct investment (FDI) has been allocated to energy production and transmission across the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) region. Therefore, we examine the influence of renewable energy infrastructure, China's outward FDI, and the host country's technical efficiency on ecological sustainability. This research uses the cross-sectional autoregressive distributive lag (CS-ARDL) model to address the issues of parameter and cross-sectional heterogeneity. The findings show that renewable energy infrastructure and technical efficiency significantly reduce carbon emissions in the long run. Likewise, FDI inflows and economic growth increase emissions in the BRI region due to higher energy consumption. Moreover, the direct effect of FDI on environmental quality is negative, while the indirect impact through moderation of FDI and renewable energy infrastructure leads to lower emissions. These results implied that the reallocation of inward FDI in energy infrastructure neutralizes the negative consequences, improves energy efficiency, and resultantly lower emissions. Therefore, it opens new policy implications that we focus more on investing FDI in the energy infrastructure sector.

    Abstract Background: Textbook outcome (TO) in gastric cancer surgery is a multidimensional measure of surgical quality. However, its impact on long-term survival after laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) is unclear. This study aims to evaluate TO in LG, assess its hospital-level relevance, and examine its association with long-term survival.
    Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 2278 consecutive gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) from January 2004 to December 2017. We determined TO achievement rates, compared preoperative and intraoperative variables between TO and non-TO groups, identified independent predictors of TO, and assessed long-term oncologic outcomes using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression.
    Results: A total of 1540 LG patients were analyzed, with 994 (64.5%) achieving TO. The least frequently achieved metric was 'hospital stays ≤21 days' (83.4%), followed by 'lymph nodes retrieved ≥15' (84.0%). Factors independently associated with reduced TO likelihood included age ≥65 years, BMI ≥25, ASA III, conversion to open surgery, operation time ≥260 min, and estimated blood loss ≥150 ml. Furthermore, TO was independently linked to improved 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR 0.519 [0.443-0.609] and HR 0.517 [0.443-0.604], respectively).
    Conclusion: Implementing the TO concept in LG provides a benchmark for achieving improved prognoses and empowers surgeons to devise strategies for enhancing surgical care quality.

    Abstract Objective Regulated in development and DNA damage responses-1 (REDD1) is a conserved and ubiquitous protein, and is induced in response to multiple stimuli. However, its regulation, function and clinical relevance in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastritis are presently unknown. The study aimed to investigate its expression and regulation mechanism in H. pylori infection. Methods C57 mice and gastric epithelial cells (AGS cells) were respectively infected with H. pylori to establish infected models. Then the expression of REDD1 at mRNA and protein levels was detected by quantitative PCR, immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. The mechanism of REDD1 up-regulation induced by H. pylori infection was investigated by transfection with signaling pathway inhibitor, plasmid or dual-luciferase reporting analysis in cell models. Results The expression of REDD1 was increased in gastric mucosa of the H. pylori-infected mice than the un-infected ones. Compared with the wild-type strain of H. pylori, the strain with cagA knockout (△cagA H. pylori 11637 cells) showed decreased effect on the upregulation of REDD1 (P < 0.05). H. pylori infection induced up-regulation of REDD1 in AGS cells in a time-, cagA- and pathogen dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Blocking of P38/MAPKp38 signaling pathway could significantly inhibit the upregulation of REDD1 induced by the infection (P < 0.05). Conclusion H. pylori induces the up-regulation of REDD1 through activation of phosphorylated cagA in MAPKp38 pathway in the gastric mucosa of mouse with H. pylori infection.

    Abstract Myocardial ischemia is a serious disease which threatens human's life. Lentinan (LEN) possesses multiple biological properties: anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral and antioxidant effects. Our study investigated the effects of LEN on hypoxia-stimulated cardiomyocytes and the underlying mechanism. Primary neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (PNCM) were isolated from neonate rat pups. PNCM and H9c2 cells were stimulated by hypoxia and treated by LEN. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. Moreover, apoptotic factors were examined by western blot. Phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) and β-catenin pathways related proteins were analyzed by western blot. Furthermore, the expression of microRNA-22 (miR-22) was detected by qRT-PCR. Altered expression of miR-22 and silenced information regulator 1 (Sirt1) was achieved by transfection. The relationship between miR-22 and Sirt1 was verified by luciferase assay. We found that LEN promoted cell viability and decreased apoptosis which led to the contrary results with what hypoxia induced. Moreover, LEN decreased the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 and the level of cleaved caspase-3, as well as activated PI3K/AKT and β-catenin. LEN decreased the expression of miR-22 which was upregulated by hypoxia. miR-22 overexpression broken the promoting effects led by LEN. Moreover, Sirt1 was verified to be a target of miR-22. Silence of Sirt1 led to the opposite results with LEN. In conclusion, LEN relieved hypoxia-induced cellular injuries evidenced by increasing viability and decreasing apoptosis via down-regulation of miR-22, which was accompanied by activation of PI3K/AKT and β-catenin pathways. Highlights Lentinan alleviates hypoxia-induced injuries of PNCM and H9c2 cells; microRNA-22 expression is decreased by lentinan; Lentinan reduces hypoxia-induced injury by microRNA-22 downregulation; Lentinan regulates PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin by regulation of microRNA-22/Sirt1.

    Abstract Hypothesis: Constructing a segregated network in electrically conductive polymer composites (ECPCs) is an effective method to lower the electrical percolation threshold. The segregated network structure can be formed naturally via polymerizing Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) because solid particles are assembled at water-oil interfaces. However, most Pickering stabilizers show poor electrical conductivity. In this work, we propose a facile method to prepare lightweight ECPCs with well-controlled segregated structure via Ti
