This article addresses an underexplored intersection between subtitling and translanguaging with reference to the representation of diverse Chinese fangyan in hip-hop music videos. Drawing on recent progress in the intersection between translanguaging and Translation Studies, the article sketches the multilingualism of the Han ethnic majority and its precarious existence under the governmental policy and language planning of China. Second, it contextualises the rising audibility and visibility of local speeches and non-standard writing in cinematic, metrolingual, and digital cultures. This highlights the social and technological conditions that enable culture creators and language users to practice novel representations of linguistic diversity and variations in the subtitling medium. Furthermore, the case-study analyses illustrate how Chinese hip-hop musicians assemble linguistic, multimodal, and multisemiotic resources to effect translanguaging performance across different communicational repertoires. The conclusion outlines the practical and theoretical implications of translanguaging subtitles for alternative media representations of linguacultural diversities in China and beyond.

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are highly specialized endothelial cells that represent the interface between blood cells on one side and hepatocytes on the other side. LSECs not only form a barrier within the hepatic sinus, but also play important physiological functions such as regulating hepatic vascular pressure, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic. Pathologically, pathogenic factors can induce LSECs capillarization, that is, loss of fenestra and dysfunction, which are conducive to early steatosis, lay the foundation for the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and accelerate metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and liver fibrosis. The unique localization, phenotype, and function of LSECs make them potential candidates for reducing liver injury, inflammation, and preventing or reversing fibrosis in the future.

Flexible hydrogel film sensors have great advantages as human–machine interfaces for conformal contact with bio‐tissues, but suffer from weakness and dehydration, compromising flexibility and performance. Here, a breathable, highly stretchable, and anti‐dehydrating ultrathin organohydrogel film as a skin‐attachable strain sensor for long‐term motion monitoring is developed. An electrospun TPU (eTPU) nanomesh with hidden strength is used as skeleton to host in situ free radical polymerization of 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and acrylamide (AAm) to form an interpenetrating double network organohydrogel with glycerol and water as solvent. Extensive hydrogen bonding between eTPU nanomesh and P(AMPS‐co‐AAm) network yields ultrathin organohydrogel film (≈200 µm) with synergetic deformation and energy dissipation upon stretching, leading to record‐high stretchability up to 920%, fracture toughness of 20.14 MJ m−3, fracture energy of 10 000 J m−2, and robustness over 4000 notched stretching cylcles to 50% strain. The binary glycerol/water solvent imparts excellent anti‐dehydration at room temperature for 10 d, and stable sensory performance from −20 to 60 °C. With a high water vapor transmission rate of 1.3 kg m−2 d−1, the film sensor ensures comfortable skin contact for continuous knee flexion monitoring throughout the day with stable signals. These organohydrogel film strain sensors are promising for wearable and long‐term motion monitoring applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
