    Abstract Background: Observational studies have suggested an association between endometriosis and glycemic traits, but causality remains unclear. We used bidirectional and multivariate Mendelian randomization (MR) to examine the causal effect of glycemic traits on endometriosis and vice versa.
    Methods: We obtained genome-wide association studies summary data of endometriosis and glycemic traits in our study. Inverse variance weighted (IVW), Weighted median, MR-Egger and Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) were applied in bidirectional two-sample MR analyses. MVMR was implemented to estimate the causal effect for fasting insulin (FI), fasting glucose (FG), and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) on endometriosis. To test the validity of our findings, a number of sensitivity analyses were conducted.
    Results: The risk of endometriosis was significantly increased by genetically predicted T1DM (OR = 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.04, p = 0.0171, q = 0.0556) and GDM (OR = 1.01, 95% CI 1.01-1.02, p = 1.34 × 10
    Conclusion: Our findings supported the significant causal associations of T1DM, GDM and FI with endometriosis, respectively. Additionally, a suggestive association was found of endometriosis on HbA1c. Importantly, our study may shed light on etiology studies and clinical management of endometriosis.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that trans fatty acids (TFAs) intake was linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases. As a novel systemic inflammatory biomarker, the clinical value and efficacy of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) have been widely explored. However, the association between TFAs and SII is still unclear. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the connection between TFAs and SII in US adults.
    Methods: The study retrieved data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for the years 1999-2000 and 2009-2010. Following the exclusion of ineligible participants, the study encompassed a total of 3047 individuals. The research employed a multivariate linear regression model to investigate the connection between circulating TFAs and SII. Furthermore, the restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was utilized to evaluate the potential nonlinear association. Subgroup analysis was also conducted to investigate the latent interactive factors.
    Results: In this investigation, participants exhibited a mean age of 47.40 years, with 53.91% of them being female. Utilizing a multivariate linear regression model, the independent positive associations between the log2-transformed palmitelaidic acid, the log2 transformed-vaccenic acid, the log2-transformed elaidic acid, the log2-transformed linolelaidic acid, and the log2-transformed-total sum of TFAs with the SII (all P < 0.05) were noted. In the RCS analysis, no nonlinear relationship was observed between the log2-transformed palmitelaidic acid, the log2 transformed-vaccenic acid, the log2-transformed elaidic acid, the log2-transformed linolelaidic acid, the log2-transformed-total sum of TFAs and the SII (all P for nonlinear > 0.05). For the stratified analysis, the relationship between the circulating TFAs and the SII differed by the obesity status and the smoking status.
    Conclusions: A positive association was investigated between three types of TFA, the sum of TFAs, and the SII in the US population. Additional rigorously designed studies are needed to verify the results and explore the potential mechanism.

    Abstract The incidence rate of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has risen significantly in recent years. RNA binding protein (RBP) has been attracting increased attention in the treatment of ESCC. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to explore the roles of the RBP Hu antigen R (HuR) in ESCC. The mRNA levels were detected via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, while the expression levels of protein were evaluated using western blotting. Cell proliferation was estimated by cell counting kit-8 assay and colony formation assay. Flow cytometry was applied to measure cell apoptosis. Luciferase assay and RIP assay were applied to verify whether interferon-β (IFN-β) was targeted by HuR. The results unambiguously demonstrated that HuR was upregulated in ESCC. Overexpression of HuR alleviated chemosensitivity to cisplatin in ESCC cells, as evidenced by increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis. Moreover, IFN-β was found to be a target of HuR and downregulated in ESCC cells. And overexpression of IFN-β abrogated the effects of HuR on cisplatin-sensitivity of ESCC cells. Taken together, these findings suggested that HuR may alleviate the chemosensitivity of ESCC cells to cisplatin via binding to IFN-β. Therefore, the HuR/IFN-β axis may be a novel biomarker for improving the chemosensitivity of ESCC.

    Abstract Background: Parathyroid adenoma is a benign parathyroid tumor, with serum parathyroid hormone and calcium ion concentrations as the typical basis for diagnosis. Its clinical manifestations are complex and changeable; thus it is easily missed or misdiagnosed. Approximately 85% of patients with parathyroid adenoma develop primary hyperparathyroidism, and abnormalities in bones, kidneys and other organs can occur. Brown tumors are rare.
    Case summary: We report a rare case of fibrocystic osteitis associated with a parathyroid adenoma, which was discovered by chance due to a rib tumor. Abnormally elevated serum parathyroid hormone and calcium ion were found before surgery. We suspected primary hyperparathyroidism, and color Doppler ultrasound suggested the presence of a thyroid mass. With informed consent by the patient and her family, we first removed the rib tumor, and one week later, resection of the parathyroid adenoma and thyroid mass was performed on both sides, and the patient recovered well after surgery.
    Conclusion: In the case of parathyroid adenoma combined with brown tumor, the bone cyst will gradually decrease in size with time without treatment. If not, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

    Abstract A significant amount of coal fly ash is generated and this type of waste material causes severe environmental hazards. Metal (Al and Fe) extraction from coal fly ash is beneficial to the resource utilization of waste coal fly ash. However, the coexistence of Al and Fe in coal fly ash means that the separation of Al and Fe is required, which is a key and difficult step to prepare high value-added products from coal fly ash. This work presents a novel electrolysis method to alter the charge sequence of Al³⁺, Fe³⁺, and H₂O, leading to a process different from their natural tendency for simultaneous separation of Fe³⁺ and Al³⁺, and extraction of Fe. The single iron removal efficiency was 43.48%, and the aluminum extraction efficiency was <0.30% under optimal conditions. The iron product had a purity of 98.3 wt% Fe, 0.45 wt% Al, and 0.18 wt% S. This process occurs without chemical additions and expensive membranes, avoiding impurity introduction, slag generation, and membrane limitations. Fe(s), H₂(g), Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq), and O₂(g) are the main products during the electrolysis. Flake Fe is selectively produced instead of colloidal Fe(OH)₃. Fe is a magnetic substance and is easier to remove from the solution by magnets than colloidal Fe(OH)₃. H₂ is a green fuel. Wastewater (Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq)) can be directly used to further extract alumina. Therefore, this study provides an alternative method of zero pollution discharge for simultaneous separation of Fe³⁺ and Al³⁺, and extraction of Fe from coal fly ash leachate.

    Abstract Construction of well-defined sulfur-rich macromolecules in a facile manner is an interesting but challenging topic. Herein, we disclose how to readily construct well-defined triblock sulfur-rich thermoplastic elastomers via a self-switchable isothiocyanate/episulfide copolymerization and air-assisted oxidative coupling strategy. During self-switchable polymerization, alternating copolymerization of isothiocyanate and episulfide occurs initially due to the lower energy barrier for isothiocyanate insertion with respect to successive episulfide ring-opening. After exhaustion of isothiocyanate, ring-opening polymerization of episulfide begins, providing diblock polymers. Subsequent exposure of the reaction to air leads to a transformation of diblock copolymers into triblock thermoplastic elastomers. This protocol can be extended to diverse isothiocyanates and episulfides, allowing fine-tuning of the performance of the produced sulfur-rich thermoplastic elastomers.

    Abstract Switchable catalysis, in combination with epoxide-involved ring-opening (co)polymerization, is a powerful technique that can be used to synthesize various oxygen-rich block copolymers. Despite intense research in this field, the sequence-controlled polymerization from epoxide congeners has never been realized due to their similar ring-strain which exerts a decisive influence on the reaction process. Recently, quaternary ammonium (or phosphonium)-containing bifunctional organoboron catalysts have been developed by our group, showing high efficiency for various epoxide conversions. Herein, we, for the first time, report an operationally simple pathway to access well-defined polyether-
