    Abstract Introduction: Home hemodialysis (HHD) offers patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) greater flexibility and advantages of health outcomes over center hemodialysis (CHD). This study aims to investigate the differences between home and center hemodialysis with a focus on racial/ethnic minorities.
    Methods: The US Renal Disease System (USRDS) 2019 patient core data containing mortality and hospitalization which are cumulative since 2010 were merged with 2016-2019 Medicare clinical claims. To assess demographic and medical factors adjusted utilization and mortality of HHD vs CHD within every racial/ethnic cohort, logistic regression was used, and negative binomial regression was conducted to analyze the number of hospitalizations.
    Results: Evaluating 548,453 (97.48%) CHD patients and 14,202 (2.52%) HHD patients with Whites 47%, Blacks 32%, Hispanics 15%, Asians 4%, and other minorities 2%, the outcomes from adjusted regressions showed that: 1) minorities were significantly less likely to use HHD than Whites (Blacks: OR, 0.568, 95% CI, 0.546-0.592; Hispanics: OR, 0.510, 95% CI, 0.477-0.544; Asians: OR, 0.689, 95% CI, 0.619-0.766; Others: OR, 0.453, 95% CI, 0.390-0.525; p < 0.001); 2) most minority patients were younger and had fewer comorbidities than Whites, and all minority groups displayed significantly lower mortality and hospitalization incidences than the White group with adjustment on multiple covariates; 3) in the overall and main racial/ethnic cohorts, HHD showed a significantly lower risk of death than CHD after confounding for major risk factors (overall cohort: OR, 0.686, 95% CI, 0.641-0.734; White: OR, 0.670, 95% CI, 0.612-0.734; Blacks: OR, 0.717, 95% CI, 0.644-0.799; Hispanics: OR, 0.715, 95% CI, 0.575-0.889; Others: OR, 0.473, 95% CI, 0.265-0.844).
    Conclusion: There are substantial racial/ethnic variations in home hemodialysis use and health outcomes in the United States.

    Abstract Army aviation pilots play a crucial role in "mobile operations, three-dimensional attack and defense", so how to ensure and improve their operational efficiency becomes a scientific problem of concern in army aviation medicine. As the deployment of high-performance helicopters, dynamic changes come in operational, training, and intensity of the Army Air Force, whereat, it is vital to improve the operational efficiency of the flight personnel to ensure mission completion. In the theoretical system about the impact of army aircraft and aviation environment on the physiological and psychological conditions of army aviators, past research in army aviation medicine has made significant contributions to ensuring their physical and mental health and to improving their operational efficiency. Considering the health challenges and medical support needs of army aviators in the new era and future, we, with an eye to the aspects of flight environment, individual protection and body endurance, systematically review the progress in army aviation medicine related to improving operational efficiency, and furthermore, bring forward to future research directions. We aim to provide reference and inspiration for improvement of operational efficiency in army aviators in terms of comprehensive and multi-dimensional support for their physical and mental health.

    Abstract Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years, resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such as bones and teeth to fulfill mechanical and biological functions, despite the fact that most inorganic biominerals that constitute biomineralized tissues are weak and brittle. During the long-period evolution process, nature has evolved a number of highly effective and smart strategies to design chemical compositions and structures of biomineralized tissues to enable superior properties and to adapt to surrounding environments. Most biomineralized tissues have hierarchically ordered structures consisting of very small building blocks on the nanometer scale (nanoparticles, nanofibers or nanoflakes) to reduce the inherent weaknesses and brittleness of corresponding inorganic biominerals, to prevent crack initiation and propagation, and to allow high defect tolerance. The bioinspired principles derived from biomineralized tissues are indispensable for designing and constructing high-performance biomimetic materials. In recent years, a large number of high-performance biomimetic materials have been prepared based on these bioinspired principles with a large volume of literature covering this topic. Therefore, a timely and comprehensive review on this hot topic is highly important and contributes to the future development of this rapidly evolving research field. This review article aims to be comprehensive, authoritative, and critical with wide general interest to the science community, summarizing recent advances in revealing the formation processes, composition, and structures of biomineralized tissues, providing in-depth insights into guidelines derived from biomineralized tissues for the design and construction of high-performance biomimetic materials, and discussing recent progress, current research trends, key problems, future main research directions and challenges, and future perspectives in this exciting and rapidly evolving research field.

    Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, non-specific intestinal disease that not only affects the quality of life of patients and their families but also increases the risk of colorectal cancer. The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an important component of inflammatory response system, and its activation induces an inflammatory cascade response that is involved in the development and progression of UC by releasing inflammatory cytokines, damaging intestinal epithelial cells, and disrupting the intestinal mucosal barrier. Chinese medicine (CM) plays a vital role in the prevention and treatment of UC and is able to regulate NLRP3 inflammasome. Many experimental studies on the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome mediated by CM have been carried out, demonstrating that CM formulae with main effects of clearing heat, detoxifying toxicity, drying dampness, and activating blood circulation. Flavonoids and phenylpropanoids can effectively regulate NLRP3 inflammasome. Other active components of CM can interfere with the process of NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation, leading to a reduction in inflammation and UC symptoms. However, the reports are relatively scattered and lack systematic reviews. This paper reviews the latest findings regarding the NLRP3 inflammasome activation-related pathways associated with UC and the potential of CM in treating UC through modulation of NLRP3 inflammasome. The purpose of this review is to explore the possible pathological mechanisms of UC and suggest new directions for development of therapeutic tools.

    Abstract Background: The co-occurrence of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has drawn considerable attention due to its impact on disease outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association between hepatic steatosis and hepatitis B virus (HBV) and analyzed the influence of hepatic steatosis on hepatitis B virology in patients with CHB.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 272 patients infected with HBV who were treatment-naïve or had ceased antiviral treatment for > 6 months were categorized into the CHB group (n = 128) and CHB + MAFLD group (n = 144). Furthermore, based on whether HBV DNA was higher than 2000 IU/mL, patients were categorized into the high-level HBV DNA group (n = 129) and the low-level HBV DNA group (n = 143). The impact of hepatic steatosis on hepatitis B virology was analyzed within the CHB cohort. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify independent factors influencing pre-genomic RNA (pgRNA) levels below the lower limit of detection (LLD) in patients with CHB.
    Results: Among the 272 patients, compared with CHB group, HBV DNA levels (4.11 vs. 3.62 log
    Conclusions: This study establishes a negative correlation between hepatic steatosis and hepatitis B virology, demonstrating decreased HBV expression in patients with CHB + MAFLD.

    Abstract Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is an idiopathic disease of pregnancy. Little is known about how it specifically affects pregnancies resulting from in vitro fertilization (IVF). Our aim is to evaluate the impact of IVF on the perinatal outcomes of ICP.
    Methods: A retrospective study of 242 patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, comprising 36 conceived through IVF and 206 spontaneous conceptions (SC), enrolled between 2019 and 2021 was carried out. Data were analyzed from the medical archives of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Tongji Hospital.
    Results: Numerical values of transaminases (ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase) and serum total bile acid (TBA) are significantly lower in the IVF group than that in the spontaneous conceived group (p < 0.05). The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was higher in the IVF group than in SC group (30.6% vs. 16%, p = 0.037). The cesarean section (CS) rates are higher in the IVF group (97.2% vs. 85.4%, p = 0.023). On the other hand, the prevalence of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) was higher in the SC group (10.7%) while none was reported in the IVF-ICP group. Other maternal comorbidities and neonatal outcomes were similar between the two groups.
    Conclusion: ICP patients who underwent IVF are more likely to suffer from GDM. Therefore, monitoring and management of blood glucose should be strengthened during pregnancy. Fortunately, IVF does not seem to worsen the progression or outlook of ICP, so sticking to standard management practices is recommended.
