    Abstract The involvement of the gut microbiota in anti-cancer treatment has gained increasing attention. Alterations to the structure and function of the gut bacteria are important factors in the development of cancer as well as the efficacy of chemotherapy. Recent studies have confirmed that the gut microbiota and related metabolites influence the pharmacological activity of chemotherapeutic agents through interactions with the immune system. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge of how malignant tumor and chemotherapy affect the gut microbiota, how the gut microbiota regulates host immune response, and how interactions between the gut microbiota and host immune response influence the efficacy of chemotherapy. Recent advances in strategies for increasing the efficiency of chemotherapy based on the gut microbiota are also described. Deciphering the complex homeostasis maintained by the gut microbiota and host immunity provides a solid scientific basis for bacterial intervention in chemotherapy.

    Abstract Scientific estimations and the dynamic monitoring of the development trend of carbon emissions from energy consumption with a long time series can provide the scientific basis for formulating and implementing regional carbon-reduction strategies. Based on DMSP-OLS and NPP-VIIRS night-time light data, a pixel-scale estimation model of energy-consumption carbon emissions in Jiangsu Province from 2000 to 2019 was constructed. The spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed using the GIS method and a GTWR (geographically and temporally weighted regression) model. The results showed that: (1) The goodness of fit of the image-fusion correction of the two night-time light data sources from 2012 to 2013 was 0.894; the goodness of fit of the carbon-emission estimation model by stages was above 0.99; and the average relative error was 7.71%, which met the requirement for the estimation accuracy. (2) During the study period, the total carbon emissions from energy consumption in Jiangsu Province continued to increase, rising from 94.7618 million tons to 313.3576 million tons, with an annual growth rate of 6.50%; and the growth rate presented an upward trend of “slow-accelerate-decelerate”. Spatially, it showed an unbalanced distribution pattern of “low north and high south”. (3) Per-capita GDP and energy intensity were the core driving factors affecting carbon emissions in Jiangsu Province over the past 20 years. Energy intensity had the greatest driving effect on carbon emissions in southern Jiangsu, while per-capita GDP had the greatest influence in central and northern Jiangsu. Coordinating the relationship between central, north, and south Jiangsu is of great significance for the realization of the sustainable economic and social development of the double carbon goal.

    Abstract Purpose: Preoperative prudent patient selection plays a crucial role in knee osteoarthritis management but faces challenges in appropriate referrals such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and nonoperative intervention. Deep learning (DL) techniques can build prediction models for treatment decision-making. The aim is to develop and evaluate a knee arthroplasty prediction pipeline using three-view X-rays to determine the suitable candidates for TKA, UKA or are not arthroplasty candidates.
    Methods: A study was conducted using three-view (anterior-posterior, lateral and patellar) X-rays and surgical data of patients undergoing TKA, UKA or nonarthroplasty interventions from sites A and B. Data from site A were used to derive and validate models. Data from site B were used as external test set. A DL pipeline combining YOLOv3 and ResNet-18 with confident learning (CL) was developed. Multiview Convolutional Neural Network, EfficientNet-b4, ResNet-101 and the proposed model without CL were also trained and tested. The models were evaluated using metrics such as area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity and F1 score.
    Results: The data set comprised a total of 1779 knees. Of which 1645 knees were from site A as a derivation set and an internal validation cohort. The external validation cohort consisted of 134 knees. The internal validation cohort demonstrated superior performance for the proposed model augmented with CL, achieving an AUC of 0.94 and an accuracy of 85.9%. External validation further confirmed the model's generalisation, with an AUC of 0.93 and an accuracy of 82.1%. Comparative analysis with other neural network models showed the proposed model's superiority.
    Conclusions: The proposed DL pipeline, integrating YOLOv3, ResNet-18 and CL, provides accurate predictions for knee arthroplasty candidates based on three-view X-rays. This prediction model could be useful in performing decision making for the type of arthroplasty procedure in an automated fashion.
    Level of evidence: Level III, diagnostic study.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Dermatophytes are notorious pathogens capable of infecting various mammals skin, posing serious threats to human health and overall life quality worldwide. Artemisia argyi has been recorded and applied for over a thousand years to treat skin itching. Although it has the potential to be developed as a plant-based antifungal agent, it's antifungal activity and action mechanism of active ingredients are still unclear.
    Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition, antifungal activity against skin fungi, and potential mechanisms of Artemisia argyi essential oil (AEO).
    Materials and methods: The chemical composition of AEO was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) firstly. Flat growth restraint and double half dilution tests was performed to evaluate AEO antifungal activity against Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Trichophyton rubrum. And then, the physiological mechanism of AEO inhibiting dermatophytes was systematically explored through scanning electron microscopy, relative conductivity, membrane leakage, ROS content, and antioxidant enzyme activity. Finally, the main pathways were screened through transcriptome sequencing, while the related genes expression levels and enzyme activity were validated.
    Results: Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenoids were the most highly representative class of AEO. AEO had powerful antifungal activity against M. gypseum, T. mentagrophytes, and T. rubrum, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 0.6, 1.2, and 1.2 μL/mL, respectively. Moreover, AEO can also damage the cell membrane integrity of T. mentagrophytes, resulting in cellular extravasation of intracellular substances. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the main target of AEO is to inhibit electron transfer and oxidative phosphorylation during respiration, ultimately leading to obstruction of normal ATP synthesis and energy metabolism in mitochondria. And a large amount of ROS will generate due to the incompletely catalysis of oxygen under mitochondrial complexes. Coupled with the decrease of antioxidant enzyme (SOD, POD) activity, excessive accumulation of ROS will cause serious oxidative damage to cells and eventually exhibiting antifungal activity against dermatophytes.
    Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that Artemisia argyi was a valuable source of active compounds with antifungal activity. These findings support AEO as a potential agent to inhibit dermatophytes and prevent related dermatophytoses.
