With the current extensive availability of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) datasets with high temporal (e.g., a repeat cycle of a few or a dozen days) and spatial resolution (e.g., in the order of ∼1 m), radar remote sensing possesses an increasing potential for the monitoring of glacier surface motion thanks to the nearly weather and time-independent advantages. This paper proposes a robust subpixel frequency-based image correlation method for dense matching and integrates the improved matching into a workflow of glacier surface motion estimation using SAR intensity images with specific pre-processing and post-processing steps. The proposed matching method combines complex edge maps and local upsampling in the frequency domain for subpixel intensity tracking, which ensure the accuracy and robustness of glacier surface motion estimation. Experiments were carried out with TerraSAR-X and Sentinel-1 images covering two glacier areas in pole and alpine regions. The results of the monitoring and investigation of glacier motion validate the feasibility and reliability of the presented motion estimation method based on subpixel gradient correlation. The comparative results using both simulated and real SAR data indicate that the proposed matching method outperforms commonly used correlation-based matching methods in terms of matching accuracy and the ability to obtain correct matches.

Objective: To evaluate the preclinical value of 18 F-fluoropropionic acid ( 18 F-FPA) and 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging HCCs. Methods: The 18 F-FPA and 18 F-FDG uptake patterns in 3 HCC cell lines (Hep3B, HepG2, and SK-Hep1) were assessed in vitro and in vivo. The 18 F-FPA uptake mechanism was investigated using inhibition experiments with orlistat and 5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid. The 18 F-FPA PET imaging was performed in different tumor animal models and compared with 18 F-FDG. We also evaluated the expressions of glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) in these cell lines. Results: In vitro experiments showed that the radiotracer uptake patterns were complementary in the HCC cell lines. Orlistat and 5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid decreased the uptake of 18 F-FPA. The tumor-to-liver ratio of 18 F-FPA was superior to that of 18 F-FDG in the SK-Hep1 and HepG2 tumors ( P < .05). However, in the Hep3B tumors, the tumor-to-liver normalized uptake of 18 F-FDG was higher than 18 F-FPA ( P < .01). FASN was highly expressed in cell lines with high 18 F-FPA uptake, whereas GLUT1 was highly expressed in cell lines with high 18 F-FDG uptake. The 18 F-FPA uptake correlated with FASN ( r = 0.89, P = .014) and MMP2 ( r = 0.77, P = .002) expressions. Conclusions: PET imaging with 18 F-FPA combined with 18 F-FDG can be an alternative for detecting HCC.

Objective: To investigate the value of 2-(3-[ 18 F]fluoropropyl)-2-methyl-malonic acid ([ 18 F]ML-8) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of rat pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 2 groups, including pulmonary fibrosis model group and control group. The rat model was established by an intratracheal instillation of bleomycin (BLM). Control rats were treated with saline. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) with [ 18 F]ML-8 or 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([ 18 F]FDG) was performed on 2 groups. After PET/CT imaging, lung tissues were collected for histologic examination. Data were analyzed and comparisons between 2 groups were performed using Student t test. Results: Bleomycin-treated rats showed a higher lung uptake of [ 18 F]ML-8 than control rats ( P < .05). In BLM-treated rats, the lung to muscle relative uptake ratio of [ 18 F]ML-8 was also higher than that of [ 18 F]FDG ( P < .05). Pathological examination showed overproliferation of fibroblasts and deposition of collagen in lungs from BLM-treated rats. Compared to control rats, BLM-treated rats had higher lung hydroxyproline content ( P < .05). Immunofluorescence staining indicated more apoptotic cells in BLM-treated rats than those in control rats. Moreover, the apoptosis rate of lung tissues obtained from BLM-treated rats was higher than that from control rats ( P < .05). Conclusions: 2-(3-[ 18 F]fluoropropyl)-2-methyl-malonic acid PET/CT could be used for noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in a rat model.

Summary Background China has the highest prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection worldwide. Universal HBV screening might enable China to reach the WHO 2030 target of 90% diagnostics, 80% treatment, and 65% HBV-related death reduction, and eventually elimination of viral hepatitis. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of implementing universal HBV screening in China and identified optimal screening strategies. Methods We used a Markov cohort model, inputting parameters based on data from previous studies and public databases, to assess the cost-effectiveness of four HBV serological screening strategies in China in different screening scenarios. We simulated universal screening scenarios in 15 adult age groups between 18 and 70 years, with different years of screening implementation (2021, 2026, and 2031) and compared to the status quo (ie, no universal screening); in total, we investigated 180 different screening scenarios. We calculated the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) between the different screening strategies and the status quo (current screening strategy). We performed probabilistic and one-way deterministic sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of our findings. Findings With a willingness-to-pay level of three times the Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) per capita (US$30 828), all universal screening scenarios in 2021 were cost-effective compared with the status quo. The serum HBsAg/HBsAb/HBeAg/HBeAb/HBcAb (five-test) screening strategy in people aged 18–70 years was the most cost-effective strategy in 2021 (ICER $18 295/quality-adjusted life-years [QALY] gained). This strategy remained the most cost-effective, when the willingness-to-pay threshold was reduced to 2 times GDP per capita. The two-test strategy for people aged 18–70 years became more cost-effective at lower willingness-to-pay levels. The five-test strategy could prevent 3·46 million liver-related deaths in China over the lifetime of the cohort. It remained the most cost-effective strategy when implementation was delayed until 2026 (ICER $20 183/QALY) and 2031 (ICER $23 123/QALY). Screening young people (18–30 years) will no longer be cost-effective in delayed scenarios. Interpretation The five-test universal screening strategy in people aged 18–70 years, implemented within the next 10 years, is the optimal HBV screening strategy for China. Other screening strategies could be cost-effective alternatives, if budget is limited in rural areas. Delaying strategy implementation reduces overall cost-effectiveness. Early screening initiation will aid global efforts in achieving viral hepatitis elimination. Funding National Natural Science Foundation of China.

- Abstract
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of a self-improved continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) sensor device after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Patients and Methods A total of 160 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who received TURP from June 2021 to May 2022 were selected. According to the envelope randomization method, patients were divided into a control group (80 cases) and study group (80 cases). In the control group, the speed of bladder flushing fluid was adjusted according to the clinical experience of nurses. On the basis of the control group, the self-improved CBI sensor device was used in the study group to observe the postoperative comfort and complication rate in the two groups. Results The comfort of patients in the study group was significantly higher than that of patients in the control group (97.50% vs. 88.75%, P =0.023), and the number of postoperative complications in the control group was significantly higher than that in the study group (8.75% vs. 1.25%, P=0.021). Meanwhile, the average amount of irrigation fluid in the study group was obviously lower than that in the control group (26.4 L vs. 27.8 L, P =0.011). In addition, patients in the study group had a significantly shorter hospital stay than the controls (3.3 days vs. 3.6 days, P =0.005). Conclusions Implementation of the new self-improved CBI sensor device for patients after TURP can improve their awareness regarding disease-related knowledge, alleviate their fear and anxiety, improve their compliance and comfort with treatment and nursing, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate temporal and geographical trends in the HIV epidemic among female sex workers (FSWs) recruited from various venues in China. Methods: Chinese and English peer-reviewed articles published between January 2000 and February 2013 were systematically searched. Standard meta-analysis methods were used to calculate the pooled HIV prevalence, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Results: The national HIV prevalence among FSWs declined from 0.74% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.37–1.49%) in 2000–2002 to 0.40% (95% CI 0.31–0.53%) in 2009–2011. All Chinese regions demonstrated significant declines in HIV prevalence, apart from the East and South Central regions, in which the epidemics stabilized at low/moderate levels. Despite a significant decline from 1.92% (95% CI 0.86–4.24%) to 0.87% (95% CI 0.65–1.18%) during 2000–2011, Southwest China still bore the greatest HIV disease burden. Nationwide, FSWs recruited from detention centres had the highest HIV prevalence (0.92%, 95% CI 0.46–1.88%), followed by voluntary counselling and testing sites (0.80%, 95% CI 0.46–1.67%) and entertainment venues (0.61%, 95% CI 0.47–0.79%). The prevalences among FSWs in high-, middle-, and low-tier entertainment venues were 0.59% (95% CI 0.32–1.45%), 0.92% (95% CI 0.50–1.77%), and 1.10% (95% CI 0.71–2.16%), respectively. High- and middle-tier FSWs had a significantly lower risk of HIV infection than lower-tier FSWs (high/low: odds ratio (OR) 0.48, 95% CI 0.40–0.59; middle/low: OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.37–0.66). Conclusions: The HIV epidemic has shown a gradual declining or stabilizing trend among Chinese FSWs. Intervention efforts should be diverted to high-risk subgroups of FSWs, such as drug-using and low-tier FSWs.

- Abstract
Exposome has become the hotspot of next-generation health studies. To date, there is no available effective platform to standardize the analysis of exposomic data. In this study, we aim to propose one new framework of exposomic analysis and build up one novel integrated platform “ExposomeX” to expediate the discovery of the “Exposure-Biology-Disease” nexus. We have developed 13 standardized modules to accomplish six major functions including statistical learning (E-STAT), exposome database search (E-DB), mass spectrometry data processing (E-MS), meta-analysis (E-META), biological link via pathway integration and protein-protein interaction (E-BIO) and data visualization (E-VIZ). Using ExposomeX, we can effectively analyze the multiple-dimensional exposomics data and investigate the “Exposure-Biology-Disease” nexus by exploring mediation and interaction effects, understanding statistical and biological mechanisms, strengthening prediction performance, and automatically conducting meta-analysis based on well-established literature databases. The performance of ExposomeX has been well validated by re-analyzing two previous multi-omics studies. Additionally, ExposomeX can efficiently help discover new associations, as well as relevant in-depth biological pathways via protein-protein interaction and gene ontology network analysis. In sum, we have proposed a novel framework for standardized exposomic analysis, which can be accessed using both R and online interactive platform (http://www.exposomex.cn/).

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Age-related cataract (ARC) is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. DNA damage and malfunction of DNA repair are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of ARC. Aside from increasing age, the risk factors for ARC appear to be rather complex, and one or more gene variations could play critical roles in the diverse processes of ARC progression. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of different genetic variants on ARC risk.A cohort of 789 ARC patients and 531 normal controls from the Jiangsu Eye Study was included in this study. Genotyping of 18 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 4 DNA damage/repair genes was performed using TaqMan SNP assays. SNP-SNP interactions were analyzed via multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR), classification and regression tree (CART) and genetic risk score (GRS) analyses.Based on single-locus analyses of the 18 SNPs examined, WRN-rs11574311 (T>C) was associated with ARC risk. However, in MDR, the gene-gene interaction among the five SNPs (WRN-rs4733220 (G>A), WRN-rs1801195 (T>G), OGG1-rs2072668 (G>C) and OGG1-rs2304277 (A>G)) on ARC risk was significant (OR = 5.03, 95% CI: 3.54~7.13). CART analyses also revealed that the combination of five SNPs above was the best polymorphic signature for discriminating between the cases and the controls. The overall odds ratio for CART ranged from 4.56 to 7.90 showing an incremental risk for ARC. This result indicated that these critical SNPs participate in complex interactions. The GRS results showed an increased risk for ARC among individuals with the SNPs in this polymorphic signature.The use of multifactorial analysis (or an integrated approach) rather than a single methodology could be an improved strategy for identifying complex gene interactions. The multifactorial approach used in this study has the potential to identify complex biological relationships among ARC-related genes and processes. This approach will lead to the discovery of novel biological information, ultimately improving ARC risk management.

DNA replication forks are subject to intricate surveillance and strict regulation by sophisticated cellular machinery. Such close regulation is necessary to ensure the accurate duplication of genetic information and to tackle the diverse endogenous and exogenous stresses that impede this process. Stalled replication forks are vulnerable to collapse, which is a major cause of genomic instability and carcinogenesis. Replication stress responses, which are organized via a series of coordinated molecular events, stabilize stalled replication forks and carry out fork reversal and restoration. DNA damage tolerance and repair pathways such as homologous recombination and Fanconi anemia also contribute to replication fork stabilization. The signaling network that mediates the transduction and interplay of these pathways is regulated by a series of post-translational modifications, including ubiquitination, which affects the activity, stability, and interactome of substrates. In particular, the ubiquitination of replication protein A and proliferating cell nuclear antigen at stalled replication forks promotes the recruitment of downstream regulators. In this review, we describe the ubiquitination-mediated signaling cascades that regulate replication fork progression and stabilization. In addition, we discuss the targeting of replication fork stability and ubiquitination system components as a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
Acoustic metamaterials with specifically designed lattices can manipulate acoustic/elastic waves in unprecedented ways. Whereas there are many studies that focus on passive linear lattice, with non-reconfigurable structures. In this letter, we present the design, theory and experimental demonstration of an active nonlinear acoustic metamaterial, the dynamic properties of which can be modified instantaneously with reversibility. By incorporating active and nonlinear elements in a single unit cell, a real-time tunability and switchability of the band gap is achieved. In addition, we demonstrate a dynamic “editing” capability for shaping transmission spectra, which can be used to create the desired band gap and resonance. This feature is impossible to achieve in passive metamaterials. These advantages demonstrate the versatility of the proposed device, paving the way toward smart acoustic devices, such as logic elements, diode and transistor.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a widely-used international environmental evaluation and management method. However, the conventional LCA is in a static context without temporal and spatial variations considered, which fails to bring accurate evaluation values and hinders practical applications. Dynamic LCA research has developed vigorously in the past decade and become a hot topic. However, systematical analysis of spatiotemporal dynamic variations and comprehensive operable dynamic models are still lacking. This study follows LCA paradigm and incorporates time- and space-dependent variations to establish a spatiotemporal dynamic LCA model. The dynamic changes are classified into four types: dynamic foreground elementary flows, dynamic background system, dynamic characterization factors, and dynamic weighting factors. Their potential dynamics and possible quantification methods are analyzed. The dynamic LCA model is applied to a residential building, and significant differences can be observed between dynamic and static assessment results from both temporal and spatial perspectives. This study makes a theoretical contribution by establishing a comprehensive dynamic model with both temporal and spatial variations involved. It is expected to provide practical values for LCA practitioners and help with decision-making and environmental management.

Purpose To evaluate the potential feasibility of Al[18F]F-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triaceticacid (NOTA)-tripolyethylene glycol (PEG3)-Duramycin (Al[18F]F-NOTA-PEG3-Duramycin) positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging of rat hepatic fibrosis. Procedures Hepatic fibrosis rat models were injected with thioacetamide (TAA), control rats received saline (n = 12 per group). Rats in the two groups underwent PET imaging using Al[18F]F-NOTA-PEG3-Duramycin and [18F]FDG at multiple time points (2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after TAA or saline treatment). Between-group differences in the apoptosis rate, fibrotic activity, and liver uptake of Al[18F]F-NOTA-PEG3-Duramycin or [18F]FDG were assessed using Student's t-test. Imaging results were cross-validated using histopathology detection and Pearson's correlation test was used to assess the association relationships between radioactive uptake value and quantified histopathological data. Results Compared with control group at multiple time points, each TAA group showed a higher radioactive liver uptake of Al[18F]F-NOTA-PEG3-Duramycin (each P Conclusions Al[18F]F-NOTA-PEG3-Duramycin PET/CT could be applied to monitor the progression of liver fibrosis, whereas [18F]FDG PET/CT could not. Implications of this work for noninvasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis, assessment of fibrotic activity, and evaluation of antifibrotic therapy are expected.

Arctic warming associated with global climate change poses a significant threat to populations of wildlife in the Arctic. Since lipids play a vital role in adaptation of organisms to variations in temperature, high-resolution mass-spectrometry-based lipidomics can provide insights into adaptive responses of organisms to a warmer environment in the Arctic and help to illustrate potential novel roles of lipids in the process of thermal adaption. In this study, we studied an ecologically and economically important species-Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)-with a detailed multi-tissue analysis of the lipidome in response to chronic shifts in temperature using a validated lipidomics workflow. In addition, dynamic alterations in the hepatic lipidome during the time course of shifts in temperature were also characterized. Our results showed that early life stages of Arctic char were more susceptible to variations in temperature. One-year-old Arctic char responded to chronic increases in temperature with coordinated regulation of lipids, including headgroup-specific remodeling of acyl chains in glycerophospholipids (GP) and extensive alterations in composition of lipids in membranes, such as less lyso-GPs, and more ether-GPs and sphingomyelin. Glycerolipids (e.g., triacylglycerol, TG) also participated in adaptive responses of the lipidome of Arctic char. Eight-week-old Arctic char exhibited rapid adaptive alterations of the hepatic lipidome to stepwise decreases in temperature while showing blunted responses to gradual increases in temperature, implying an inability to adapt rapidly to warmer environments. Three common phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) (PE 36:6|PE 16:1_20:5, PE 38:7|PE 16:1_22:6, and PE 40:7|PE 18:1_22:6) were finally identified as candidate lipid biomarkers for temperature shifts via machine learning approach. Overall, this work provides additional information to a better understanding of underlying regulatory mechanisms of the lipidome of Arctic organisms in the face of near-future warming.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely used to quantify the environmental performance of buildings. Recently, the potential temporal variations in the lifetime of buildings and their influences on assessment results have attracted considerable attention. Dynamic LCA (DLCA) is an emerging research topic. This study provides an overview of the current scenario of DLCA studies in the building field. A literature survey was conducted by searching through scientific literature databases; 48 articles met the inclusion criteria. Eleven dynamic variables as well as their addressing approaches were summarized and analyzed. A few typical dynamic assessment models were synthesized and compared to present the methodology progress. Finally, considering the existing limitations, a few research directions were recommended: setting cutoff criteria for dynamic variables, developing a dynamic database, and considering the interactions between dynamic variables. The analyses in this study indicate that research on the DLCA of buildings needs interdisciplinary cooperation. This review promotes in-depth understanding about DLCA research of buildings and offers valuable implications for environmental practice. The highlighted future research directions facilitate further explorations in this research area.

General Psychology - Abstract
Aggressive collective action online has many negative impacts on the online environment and can even lead to political violence or social panic in the offline world. Although the effect of relative deprivation on aggression toward the compared object is well known, the influence of relative deprivation on aggressive collective action online toward deprivation-related provocateurs within the group has been ignored. Thus, this study attempted to explore the effect, as well as the mediating mechanism underlying it. We found that group relative deprivation manipulated by an employment problem scenario (with the triggering event as a covariable) can enhance aggressive collective action online toward deprivation-related provocateurs within the group, with hostile feelings mediating the effect. These results support and develop the relative deprivation theory, frustration-aggression theory, stress and coping theory, and deepen the understanding of the relationship between relative deprivation and aggression. The findings also suggest that colleges should focus more on graduate employment problems and decreasing the relative deprivation experienced by undergraduate students in efforts to prevent aggressive collective action online.

- Abstract
Background The enlarged perivascular Virchow-Robin space (VRS), which indicates a glymphatic system alternation, is very common in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. However, assessing those morphological changes in this region by using conventional techniques may be challenging. In this study, we investigated structural and functional changes in the glymphatic system in the treatment-naïve attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children by quantitatively measuring the VRS volume using a Diffusion Tensor Image-Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS). Methods A total of 47 pediatric ADHD patients and 52 age- and gender-matched typically developing (TD) children were recruited in this prospective study. The VRS volume was calculated using a semi-automated approach in axial T2WI images. Diffusivities along the x, y, and z-axis in the projection, association, and subcortical neural fiber areas on the diffusivity maps were measured. The ALPS-index, a ratio that accentuated water diffusion along the perivascular space, was calculated with: ALPS-index = mean (Dxproj, Dxassoc)/mean (Dyproj, Dzassoc). The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the quantitative parameters; Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation with clinical symptoms. Results The cerebral VRS volume (mean, 15.514 mL vs.11.702mL) and the VRS volume ratio in the ADHD group were larger than in the TD group (all P

- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether Wild Field Imaging System (WFIS SW-8000), 25G endoilluminator, and intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) can perform real-time screening and diagnosing in patients with suspicious diabetic retinopathy during phacoemulsification, especially in cases of white cataract that obscures the preoperative view of the retina.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 204 dense diabetic cataractous eyes of 204 patients with suspected diabetic retinopathy treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from April 2020 to March 2021 were included. Lens phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation was performed. Following the removal of the lens opacity, the 25G endoilluminator, fundus photography, and iOCT were performed successively. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and/or fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were used to verify the fundus findings postoperatively. Intraoperative and postoperative results were compared to verify the accuracy of intraoperative diagnosis in each group.Results: Intraoperative and postoperative examinations revealed 58 and 62 eyes with diabetic retinopathy, respectively (positive rate, 28.43% and 30.39%, respectively). During the phacoemulsification, WFIS SW-8000 detected 44 eyes with diabetic retinopathy (the detection rate, 70.97%); 25G endoilluminator found 56 eyes with diabetic retinopathy (the detection rate, 90.32%); iOCT found 46 eyes with diabetic retinopathy (the detection rate, 74.19%); and 58 eyes with diabetic retinopathy were found by combining the three methods (the detection rate, 93.55%). There were statistically significant differences in the diagnostic sensitivity for diabetic retinopathy among the methods (χ2=16.36, P=0.001).Conclusions: WFIS SW-8000, 25G endoilluminator, iOCT, and especially their combination can be used to inspect the fundus and detect diabetic retinopathy intraoperatively; they are helpful for the timely diagnosis and treatment of retinopathy in patients with dense cataract.

Displaced aggressive behaviour is associated with many negative outcomes. Although certain personality traits predict displaced aggressive behaviour, the uniquely longitudinal effect of indigenous interpersonal traits on displaced aggressive behaviour is ignored. To address this gap, we explored the longitudinal relationship among an indigenously interpersonal trait of China (interpersonal openness), hostile attribution bias, and self-reported displaced aggressive behaviour. Additionally, we tested whether hostile attribution bias mediated the relationship between interpersonal openness and self-reported displaced aggressive behaviour. The Interpersonal Self-Support Scale for Undergraduate Students, Word Sentence Association Paradigm for Hostility, Displaced Aggression Questionnaire, and the NEO Personality Inventory-3 were administered to 942 undergraduates on two occasions, 6 months apart. A cross-lagged model showed that, after controlling for the Big Five personality traits, interpersonal openness predicted subsequent hostile attribution bias, and hostile attribution bias predicted self-reported displaced aggressive behaviour 6 months later. Hostile attribution bias at time 2 mediated the relationship between interpersonal openness at time 1 and self-reported displaced aggressive behaviour at time 2. These results were consistent with the interpersonal self-support theory's appraisals of interpersonal openness, and they extended the social information processing and general aggression models to explain displaced aggressive behaviour.

Deinococcus ficus CC-FR2-10T, resistant to ultraviolet, ionizing radiation, and chemicals which may cause DNA damage, was identified in Taiwan. The expression level of D. ficus RecA, which has 92% sequence identity with Deinococcus radiodurans (Dr.) RecA, will be upregulated upon UV radiation. Multiple sequence alignment of RecA proteins from bacteria belonging to Escherichia coli and the Deinococcus genus reveals that the C-terminal tail of D. ficus RecA is shorter and contains less acidic residues than E. coli RecA. D. ficus RecA exhibits a higher ATPase activity toward single-stranded (ss) DNA and efficiently promotes DNA strand exchange that a filament is first formed on ssDNA, followed by uptake of the double-stranded (ds) substrate. Moreover, D. ficus RecA exhibits a pH-reaction profile for DNA strand exchange similar to E. coli ΔC17 RecA. Later, a chimera D. ficus C17 E. coli RecA with more acidic residues in the C-terminal tail was constructed and purified. Increased negativity in the C-terminal tail makes the pH reaction profile for Chimera D. ficus C17 E. coli RecA DNA strand exchange exhibit a reaction optimum similar to E. coli RecA. To sum up, D. ficus RecA exhibits reaction properties in substrate-dependent ATPase activity and DNA strand exchange similar to E. coli RecA. Our data indicate that the negativity in the C-terminal tail plays an important role in the regulation of pH-dependent DNA strand exchange activity.

To investigate the imaging findings, especially the MRI findings, of intraosseous hemangioma of long tubular bones and to improve the recognition of this rare tumor. The imaging characteristics of 16 histopathologically diagnosed long tubular bone hemangioma lesions were retrospectively reviewed on radiography (n = 16), CT (n = 16), and MRI (n = 15). Thirteen of 16 lesions were intramedullary, whereas the other three were cortical, subperiosteal, and mixed intracortical and intramedullary, respectively. The radiologic appearance of long bone intraosseous hemangioma was divided into five types: cyst-like (n = 7), mesh- or honeycomb-like (n = 6), medullary sclerosis (n = 1), cortical thickening (n = 1), and cortical lytic type (n = 1). Radiography and CT allowed the identification of sclerotic margins in eight cases, thickened trabeculae in six cases, internal calcification in one case, cortical thickening in one case, and fracture in four cases. Two lesions were confusing on radiography but clearly identifiable on MRI. All intraosseous hemangioma showed high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging and intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging. Four cyst-like lesions showed peripheral and filling enhancement, whereas others exhibited diffuse enhancement with an intensity similar to adjacent vessels. Cystic and mesh types are the most common types of hemangioma in long tubular bones. MRI can help to define the location and extent of lesions. The tumor usually shows high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging and intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging. Peripheral and filling or diffuse enhancement with an intensity similar to vessels is helpful for the diagnosis of intraosseous hemangioma.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a progressive disease in diabetic patients, and myocardial insulin resistance contributes to its pathogenesis through incompletely-defined mechanisms. Striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinase (SPEG) has two kinase-domains and is a critical cardiac regulator. Here we show that SPEG is phosphorylated on Ser2461/Ser2462/Thr2463 by protein kinase B (PKB) in response to insulin. PKB-mediated phosphorylation of SPEG activates its second kinase-domain, which in turn phosphorylates sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) and accelerates calcium re-uptake into the SR. Cardiac-specific deletion of PKBα/β or a high fat diet inhibits insulin-induced phosphorylation of SPEG and SERCA2a, prolongs SR re-uptake of calcium, and impairs cardiac function. Mice bearing a Speg3A mutation to prevent its phosphorylation by PKB display cardiac dysfunction. Importantly, the Speg3A mutation impairs SERCA2a phosphorylation and calcium re-uptake into the SR. Collectively, these data demonstrate that insulin resistance impairs this PKB-SPEG-SERCA2a signal axis, which contributes to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy., Molecular mechanisms linking myocardial insulin resistance to diabetic cardiomyopathy are incompletely understood. Here the authors show that myocardial insulin resistance impairs a PKB-SPEG-SERCA2a signaling axis, which contributes to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

ObjectiveThe rapid expansion of the recreational drug market becomes a global health concern. It is worrying that the bacterial and viral infection epidemics linking to drug use may worsen accordingly. This study aimed to estimate the impacts of changing trend and behaviours of using heroin only, synthetic drug (SD) only and polydrug (using SD and heroin concurrently) on HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and syphilis epidemics among people who use drugs in China by 2035.MethodsWe constructed a compartmental model to estimate HIV, HCV and syphilis epidemics in the dynamic drug-use trend by three scenarios: SD-only use, heroin-only use and polydrug use based on Monte Carlo simulations. The parameters for the model were collected from a comprehensive literature search.ResultsOur model estimated that polydrug use led to the highest HIV and HCV prevalence among three drug-use patterns. The prevalences were projected to increase from 10.9% (95% CI 10.2% to 11.5%) and 61.7% (95% CI 59.4% to 62.5%) in 2005 to 19.0% (95% CI 17.3% to 20.7%) and 69.1% (95% CI 67.3% to 69.5%), respectively, in 2035 among people using polydrug. Similarly, HIV and HCV prevalence in the SD-only group were projected to increase from 0.4% (95% CI 0.3% to 0.4%) and 19.5% (95% CI 19.4% to 21.7%) to 1.8% (95% CI 1.4 to 2.1%) and 33.7% (95% CI 33.2% to 34.9%) in 2005–2035. Conversely, HIV prevalence in the heroin-only group was projected to decrease from 8.0% (95% CI 7.6% to 8.1%) to 2.2% (95% CI 2.0% to 2.3%) in 2005–2035. Syphilis prevalence was estimated to remain unchanged in all population groups within this time frame. It was projected that the proportion of HIV transmitted by sexual transmission will increase compared with unsafe injection transmission in all people who use drugs from 2005 to 2035.ConclusionOur modelling suggests that polydrug use is projected to lead to the highest HIV and HCV disease burden by 2035, and the proportion of HIV transmitted by sexual transmission will increase. Current HIV intervention among people using heroin seems effective according to our estimation.

Article Subject ,Oncology - Abstract
This study aims to identify the relationship between blood donation and malignant and benign tumour hospitalization risk. The cohort study was constructed in Shaanxi, China, to include blood donors and match nonblood donors one-to-one by gender, age, and county of residence. The study compared the hospitalization records of two groups from 2012 to 2018. A log-binomial regression model was used to estimate the relative risk (RR) of tumour risk between donors and nonblood donors among different age groups. A total of 1,625,599 donors were recruited (including 968,823 males) and compared with the matched nonblood donor group. Significantly lower risk of malignancy in males was found among donors (adjusted RR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.75–0.92). Lower risks for specific types of tumours among donors were observed, including liver (0.42, [0.28–0.67]), lung (0.74, [0.59–0.87]), lymphoma (0.75, [0.62–0.85]), and oesophagus (0.55, [0.41–0.72]). However, the risk of brain cancer was higher among male donors (RR 1.19 [1.06–1.29]). Among female donors, lower risk of liver (0.57, [0.42–0.79]) and oesophagus malignancy (0.73, [0.62–0.88]) was observed. For benign tumours, male donors have a lower risk of benign skin tumour (0.79, [0.62–0.94]) and hemangioma and lymphangioma (0.75, [0.51–0.89]), while female donors have a lower risk in hemangioma and lymphangioma (0.65, [0.44–0.83]). We also found that the risk decreased with age among donors in the prevalence of tumours compared to that in nonblood donors ( p < 0.05 ). Blood donation appears to be significantly associated with various tumour risks among both males and females. Overall, the risk of tumours decreased more substantially with age in blood donors compared with nonblood donors. Further research is warranted to investigate the impact of ‘health donor effects’ on these findings.

Self-control is a well-known inhibitor of aggression, but the effect of self-control on different kinds of aggression (such as reactive-proactive aggression) and the underlying mediating mechanisms of these effects are unclear. We developed a mediation model to address these issues. A three-wave study was conducted with a sample of 1203 qualifying Chinese undergraduates to test the model. The results showed that self-control at Wave 1 negatively predicted reactive aggression at Wave 3 through mediating effects of hostile rumination and moral disengagement at Wave 2 at the same time, while self-control at Wave 1 negatively predicted proactive aggression at Wave 3 only through moral disengagement at Wave 2. Furthermore, the longitudinal relationship between hostile rumination and moral disengagement is mutual. The current findings support our hypotheses regarding the mediation model of self-control inhibiting reactive-proactive aggression and suggest that moral disengagement should be a common and basic variable to predict most kinds of aggression; further, hostile rumination only has a particular effect on reactive aggression. The present study used motivation theory to explain its mediation model, which develops aggressive theory regarding varied common influencing factors and underlying mediating mechanisms of reactive and proactive aggression.
