The vascular and lymphatic systems are integral to maintaining skeletal homeostasis and responding to pathological conditions in bone and joint tissues. This review explores the interplay between blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in bones and joints, focusing on their roles in homeostasis, regeneration, and disease progression. Type H blood vessels, characterized by high expression of CD31 and endomucin, are crucial for coupling angiogenesis with osteogenesis, thus supporting bone homeostasis and repair. These vessels facilitate nutrient delivery and waste removal, and their dysfunction can lead to conditions such as ischemia and arthritis. Recent discoveries have highlighted the presence and significance of lymphatic vessels within bone tissue, challenging the traditional view that bones are devoid of lymphatics. Lymphatic vessels contribute to interstitial fluid regulation, immune cell trafficking, and tissue repair through lymphangiocrine signaling. The pathological alterations in these networks are closely linked to inflammatory joint diseases, emphasizing the need for further research into their co-regulatory mechanisms. This comprehensive review summarizes the current understanding of the structural and functional aspects of vascular and lymphatic networks in bone and joint tissues, their roles in homeostasis, and the implications of their dysfunction in disease. By elucidating the dynamic interactions between these systems, we aim to enhance the understanding of their contributions to skeletal health and disease, potentially informing the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.

Background. Previous studies have shown the prognostic value of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the results are not persuasive. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to quantitatively explore the prognostic value of LDH in hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods. We searched the Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library for literature published before October 2018 on the prognostic value of LDH in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The combined hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilized to assess the prognostic value of LDH in overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) of HCC. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and metaregression were used to explore the source of heterogeneity. Funnel plots with Begg’s test and Egger’s test were used to detect potential publication biases. Furthermore, combined odds ratios (ORs) were utilized to assess the correlation between LDH and clinicopathological features.Results. A total of 10 nonrandomized controlled studies were included in this meta-analysis. The combined effects of LDH on HCC patients’ OS, RFS/DFS, and PFS were HR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.63-2.62, P < 0.001; HR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.37-1.90, P < 0.001; and HR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.14-3.36, P = 0.014, respectively. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis showed that the outcome was stable, and the results of the metaregression also identified statistical models as an important source of heterogeneity. Potential publication bias was detected in the OS studies, so the trim-and-fill method was used to explore publication bias, and the results showed stability. Furthermore, the combined OR suggests that LDH was significantly correlated with gender, Child-Pugh grade, alpha-fetoprotein, vascular invasion, and tumor size.Conclusions. Preoperative LDH elevation is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with HCC, which may be a promising factor in assessing the prognosis of patients with HCC.

CD4+ T cells are considered to be vital in chronic liver diseases, but their exact roles in hepatic capillarization, the typical characteristic of liver fibrosis, are poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the roles of typical subtype of CD4+ T cells, named T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 cells in liver fibrosis. Taking advantage of well established fibrotic rat model, we conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments to explore the interactions between liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and Th1/2 cells; meanwhile we evaluated the degree of hepatic capillarization when inhibiting these interactions with inhibitory antibodies. Our results showed that prohibiting interactions between Th2 cells and LSECs caused the restoration of fenestrae, increased cytokine level of Th1 cells and reduction of hepatic capillarization; inhibiting the interaction between Th1 cells and LSECs produced the opposite effects. Moreover, increased Rho and myosin light chain phosphorylation were observed when Th1 cells were inhibited with the corresponding inhibitory antibody; Th2 cell inhibition yielded the opposite results. This study indicated that Th1/2 cells steer the capillarization process in different directions and this effect is probably mediated by the Rho-Rho kinase (ROCK)-myosin signaling pathway.

Investment banks like Goldman Sachs have started a "guaranteed close" business where investors looking to buy or sell shares of a certain stock can get a guarantee from the bank to execute their orders at the close price set on the primary exchange. Daily trading volume through this venue has been increasing rapidly, reaching about one-third of the daily volume through close auction in 2018. Using the TAQ data and a quasi-experimental shock -- NYSE fee cut in 2018, we find that when the fraction of trades through "guaranteed close" increases, the informativeness of close price increases. We develop a model where a bank conducting "guaranteed close" business competes with the exchange on transaction fees, and gains profit from trading strategically utilizing the order flow information. The bank's trading activity concentrates the price-relevant information into the exchange. Consequently, the "guaranteed close" improves price discovery at the market close.

Summary Mitochondria, which play central roles in immunometabolic diseases, have their own genome. However, the functions of mitochondria-located noncoding RNAs are largely unknown due to the absence of a specific delivery system. By circular RNA (circRNA) expression profile analysis of liver fibroblasts from patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), we observe that mitochondrial circRNAs account for a considerable fraction of downregulated circRNAs in NASH fibroblasts. By constructing mitochondria-targeting nanoparticles, we observe that Steatohepatitis-associated circRNA ATP5B Regulator (SCAR), which is located in mitochondria, inhibits mitochondrial ROS (mROS) output and fibroblast activation. circRNA SCAR, mediated by PGC-1α, binds to ATP5B and shuts down mPTP by blocking CypD-mPTP interaction. Lipid overload inhibits PGC-1α by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced CHOP. In vivo, targeting circRNA SCAR alleviates high fat diet-induced cirrhosis and insulin resistance. Clinically, circRNA SCAR is associated with steatosis-to-NASH progression. Collectively, we identify a mitochondrial circRNA that drives metaflammation and serves as a therapeutic target for NASH.

TRIM29 plays an important role in many neoplasms. In this study, we aimed to elucidate its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the corresponding potential mechanism. The expression level of TRIM29 in HCC samples and hepatoma cell lines was detected. We found that TRIM29 was down-regulated in clinical HCC samples and cultured hepatoma cell lines by western blot analysis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, we demonstrated that higher TRIM29 expression was associated with higher differentiation grade of HCC. To explore the effect of TRIM29 on hepatoma cells and its possible mechanisms, TRIM29-knockdown and overexpression cell models were constructed. The results showed that the depletion of TRIM29 promoted liver cancer cell proliferation, clone formation, migration and invasion in vitro probably through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This study revealed the inhibitory roles of TRIM29 in HCC and the possible mechanisms.

Abstract Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) can lead to severe motor and neurological developmental disorders and even disability and death in children due to untimely treatment. In this study, we used tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for primary screening and recall of those with positive primary screening for rescreening. Further diagnosis was based on biochemical tests, imaging and clinical presentation as well as accurate genetic testing using multi-gene panel with high-throughput sequencing of 130 IEM-related genes. The screening population was 16,207 newborns born between July 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021. Based on the results, 8 newborns were diagnosed with IEM, constituting a detection rate of 1:2,026. Phenylketonuria was the most common form of IEM. In addition, seven genes associated with IEM were detected in these eight patients. All eight patients received standardized treatment starting in the neonatal period, and the follow-up results showed good growth and development. Therefore, our study suggests that MS/MS rescreening for IEM pathogenic variants in high-risk areas, combined with a sequencing validation strategy, can be highly effective in the early detection of affected children. This strategy, combined with early intervention, can be effective in preventing neonatal morbidity and improving population quality.

Abstract With the growing trend towards preserving global architectural heritage, the adaptive reuse of built heritage buildings is becoming increasingly popular; as commentators have noted, this popularity can in part be attributed to the economic, cultural, and social benefits they provide to urban communities. In considering adaptive reuse, urban developers and planners seek to reach an equilibrium in the battle between time and space. Both academically and practically, the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings requires compatible, appropriate, and scientific means for assessing built heritage assets; however, currently, research in this area is still relatively meagre. To address this gap, this paper investigates research frameworks, methodologies, and assessment methods that concern the adaptive reuse of architectural heritage. In this paper, we examine the current literature on the paradigms for applying mixed methodologies: the multi-criteria decision model (MCDM) and the preference measurement model (PMM). Specifically, in examining the extant literature, we explore the ways in which these methods are discussed, compared, and evaluated, and the positive functions of these methods are also highlighted. In addition, this review examines a range of cases to better clarify the research frameworks, methodologies, and assessment methods used in the study of the adaptive reuse of architectural heritage.

The features of a street environment play an essential role in human behavior, but predicting the preferred environment becomes challenging for city planning. This paper takes Gulangyu Island as an example and examines tourists’ visual preferences through street view images and a stated preference survey. Based on the findings, planning responses were proposed to provide references for improving tourists’ visual perception of the street’s environment. The results show that tourists’ preferences for the street environment are significantly affected by visual features. From highest to lowest are variety, the green view index, crowdedness, sky openness, and enclosure. The green view index, sky openness, and variety positively affect the visual utility, while crowdedness and enclosure have a negative effect. Among them, variety has the most potent positive effect on visual preference, while crowdedness has the most substantial negative effect. Moreover, there is a balance between green view and enclosure that is affected by green plants, and when the enclosure value is too high, the marginal effect of the green view index will be less effective. Last, the streets with high visual utility have an ideal natural environment, spacious roads, an open sky, and limited architecture.

In construction engineering, there are many interactive and decision-making behaviors which could affect the progress and final performance. Based on the people-oriented concept, managing construction engineering should not ignore the understanding of individual behavior, and neuropsychology provides a refined microscopic perspective. This paper employed a bibliometric analysis of 1254 studies from the Web of Science related to behavioral research in construction engineering management using VOSviewer and summarized the neuropsychological mechanisms and research methods of behavior by systematic review. This paper found that: (1) Neuropsychological mechanisms of behavior include basic mechanisms about the brain and function and range from sensory to decision processes. Core factors are the functional ingredients. (2) Behavior research in construction engineering management is turning to neuropsychological experiments. Understanding the complex correlation mechanisms are the research trends in recent years. (3) Construction engineering management studies provide the means and methods to improve the validity and efficiency of management in the construction industry. The results confirm the impact of sensory perception on behavior and managerial performance. (4) The research trend in this field in the future is multidisciplinary. In total, this paper provides a potential effective reference for improving the performance of construction engineering management, developing sustainable construction production and consumption, and building a people-oriented livable city.

This paper investigates the compression detection problem using sub-Nyquist radars, which is well suited to the scenario of high bandwidths in real-time processing because it would significantly reduce the computational burden and save power consumption and computation time. A compressive generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector for sparse signals is proposed for sub-Nyquist radars without ever reconstructing the signal involved. The performance of the compressive GLRT detector is analyzed and the theoretical bounds are presented. The compressive GLRT detection performance of sub-Nyquist radars is also compared to the traditional GLRT detection performance of conventional radars, which employ traditional analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) at Nyquist sampling rates. Simulation results demonstrate that the former can perform almost as well as the latter with a very small fraction of the number of measurements required by traditional detection in relatively high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) cases.
