Clean air actions （CAAs） in China have been linked to considerable benefits in public health.However,whether the beneficial effects of CAAs are equally distributed geographically is unknown.Using high-resolution maps of the distributions of major air pollutants (fine particulate matter[PM2.5]and ozone[O3]) and population,we aimed to track spatiotemporal changes in health impacts from,and geographic inequality embedded in,the reduced exposures to PM2.5and O3from 2013 to 2020.We used a method established by the Global Burden of Diseases Study.By analyzing the changes in loss of life expectancy（LLE） attributable to PM2.5and O3,we calculated the gain of life expectancy （GLE） to quantify the health benefits of the air-quality improvement.Finally,we assessed the geographic inequality embedded in the GLE using the Gini index （GI）.Based on risk assessments of PM2.5and O3,during the first stage of CAAs（2013 to 2017）,the mean GLE was 1.87 months.Half of the sum of the GLE was disproportionally distributed in about one quarter of the population exposed （GI 0.44）.During the second stage of CAAs（2017 to 2020）,the mean GLE increased to 3.94 months and geographic inequality decreased （GI 0.18）.According to our assessments,CAAs were enhanced,from the first to second stages,in terms of not only preventing premature mortality but also ameliorating health inequalities.The enhancements were related to increased sensitivity to the health effects of air pollution and synergic control of PM2.5and O3levels.Our findings will contribute to optimizing future CAAs.

BACKGROUND Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)is a liver condition marked by excessive fat buildup in the absence of heavy alcohol use.It is primarily linked with metabolic issues like insulin resistance,obesity,and abnormal lipid levels,and is often observed with other conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.However,whether the subtypes of MAFLD based on the metabolic disorder differentially impact liver fibrosis is not well explicated,especially in the Asian population.AIM To compare the severity of liver fibrosis among different MAFLD subtypes.METHODS A total of 322 adult patients of either gender with fatty liver on ultrasound were enrolled between January to December 2021.MAFLD was defined as per the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver guidelines.Fibrosis-4 index(Fib-4)and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score(NFS)were employed to evaluate liver fibrosis.RESULTS The mean age was 44.84±11 years.Seventy-two percent of the patients were female.Two hundred and seventy-three patients were classified as having MAFLD,of which 110(40.3%)carried a single,129(47.3%)had two,and 34(12.5%)had all three metabolic conditions.The cumulative number of metabolic conditions was related to elevated body mass index,triglyceride(TG)levels,and glycated hemoglobin,lower high-density lipoprotein(HDL)levels,higher liver inflammation(by aspartate aminotransferase andγ-glutamyl transferase),and higher likelihood of fibrosis(by NFS and Fib-4 scores)(P<0.05 for all).The proportion of advanced fibrosis also increased with an increase in the number of metabolic conditions(4.1%,25.5%,35.6%,and 44.1%by NFS and 6.1%,10.9%,17%,and 26.5%by Fib-4 for no MAFLD and MAFLD with 1,2,and 3 conditions,respectively).Among MAFLD patients,those with diabetes alone were the eldest and had the highest mean value of NFS score and Fib-4 score(P<0.05),while MAFLD patients diagnosed with lean metabolic dysfunction exhibited the highest levels of TG and alanine aminotransferase but the lowest HDL level

Myelin is the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, and its damage(demyelination) occurs in many central nervous system(CNS) diseases, including multiple sclerosis(MS), traumatic injury, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and mental disorders such as schizophrenia(Barateiro et al., 2016). Repair of damaged myelin sheaths(remyelination) often fails in MS, leading to neuronal loss and irreversible functional deficits.

The significance of ecological non-monotonicity(a function whose first derivative changes signs)in shaping the structure and functions of the ecosystem has recently been recognized,but such studies involving high-order interactions are rare.Here,we have proposed a threetrophic conceptual diagram on interactions among trees,rodents,and insects in mast and non-mast years and tested the hypothesis that oak(Quercus wutaishanica)masting could result in increased mutualism and less predation in an oak-weevil-rodent system in a warm temperate forest of China.Our 14-year dataset revealed that mast years coincided with a relatively low rodent abundance but a high weevil abundance.Masting not only benefited seedling recruitment of oaks through increased dispersal by rodents but also a decrease in predation by rodents and weevils,as well as an increase in the overwintering survival of rodents.Masting appeared to have increased weevil survival by reducing predation of infested acorns by rodents.These results suggest that masting benefits all participants in the plant-insect-rodent system by increasing mutualism and reducing predation behavior(i.e.,a non-monotonic function).Our study highlights the significance of masting in maintaining the diversity and function of the forest ecosystem by facilitating the transformation from predation to mutualism among trophic species.

The innate immune regulator stimulator of interferon genes(STING)mediates self-DNA sensing and leads to the induction of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines,which promotes the progression of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.Innate immune system plays a critical role in regulating obesity-induced islet dysfunction,whereas the potential effect of STING signaling is not fully understood.Here,we demonstrate that STING is mainly expressed and activated in islet macrophages upon high-fat diet(HFD)feeding.Sting^(-/-)alleviates HFD-induced islet inflammation by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the infiltration of macrophages.Mechanically,palmitic acid incubation promotes mitochondrial DNA leakage into the cytosol and subsequently activates STING pathway in macrophages.Additionally,STING activation in macrophages impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by mediating the engulfment ofβcell insulin secretory granules.Pharmacologically inhibiting STING activation enhances insulin secretion to control hyperglycemia.Together,our results reveal a regulatory mechanism in controlling the islet inflammation and insulin secretion in dietinduced obesity and suggest that selective blocking of the STING activation may be a promising strategy for treating type 2 diabetes.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a monogenic small vessel disease caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. However, the pathogenesis of CADASIL remains unclear, and patients have limited treatment options. Here, we use human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) generated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a patient with CADASIL carrying a heterozygous NOTCH3 mutation (c.1261C>T, p.R421C) to develop a disease model. The correction efficiency of different adenine base editors (ABEs) is tested using the HEK293T-NOTCH3 reporter cell line. ABEmax is selected based on its higher efficiency and minimization of predicted off-target effects. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) differentiated from CADASIL hiPSCs show NOTCH3 deposition and abnormal actin cytoskeleton structure, and the abnormalities are recovered in corrected hiPSC-derived VSMCs. Furthermore, CADASIL blood vessel organoids generated for in vivo modeling show altered expression of genes related to disease phenotypes, including the downregulation of cell adhesion, extracellular matrix organization, and vessel development. The dual adeno-associated virus (AAV) split-ABEmax system is applied to the genome editing of vascular organoids with an average editing efficiency of 8.82%. Collectively, we present potential genetic therapeutic strategies for patients with CADASIL using blood vessel organoids and the dual AAV split-ABEmax system.

The immune system defends the body from infection and plays a vital role in a wide range of health conditions.Metabolism afects a series of physiological processes,including those linked to the function of human immune system.Cellular metabolism modulates immune cell activation and cytokine production.Understanding the relationship between metabolism and immune response has important implications for the development of immune-based therapeutics.However,the deployment of large-scale functional assays to investigate the metabolic regulation of immune response has been limited by the lack of standardized procedures.Here,we present a protocol for the analysis of immune response using standardized whole-blood stimulation with metabolism modulation.Diverse immune stimuli including pattern recognition receptor(PRR)ligands and microbial stimuli were incubated with fresh human whole blood.The metabolic inhibitors were used to modulate metabolic status in the immune cells.The variable immune responses after metabolic interventions were evaluated.We described in detail the main steps involved in the whole-blood stimulation and cytokines quantifcation,namely,collection and treatment of whole blood,preparation of samples and controls,cytokines detection,and stimulation with metabolic interventions.The metabolic inhibitors for anabolic pathways and catabolic pathways exert selective efects on the production of cytokines from immune cells.In addition to a robust and accurate assessment of immune response in cohort studies,the standardized whole-blood stimulation with metabolic regulation might provide new insights for modulating immunity.

Background:Liver cancer is largely resistant to chemotherapy.This study aimed to identify the effective chemotherapeutics forβ-catenin-activated liver cancer which is caused by gain-of-function mutation of catenin beta 1(CTNNB1),the most frequently altered proto-oncogene in hepatic neoplasms.Methods:Constitutiveβ-catenin-activated mouse embryonic fibroblasts(MEFs)were established by deleting exon 3(β-catenin^(Δ(ex3)/+)),the most common mutation site in CTNNB1 gene.A screening of 12 widely used chemotherapy drugs was conducted for the ones that selectively inhibitedβ-catenin^(Δ(ex3)/+)but not for wild-type MEFs.Untargeted metabolomics was carried out to examine the alterations of metabolites in nucleotide synthesis.The efficacy and selectivity of methotrexate(MTX)onβ-catenin-activated human liver cancer cells were determined in vitro.Immuno-deficient nude mice subcutaneously inoculated withβ-catenin wild-type or mutant liver cancer cells and hepatitis B virus(HBV);β-catenin^(lox(ex3)/+)mice were used,respectively,to evaluate the efficacy of MTX in the treatment ofβ-catenin mutant liver cancer.Results:MTX was identified and validated as a preferential agent against the proliferation and tumor formation ofβ-catenin-activated cells.Boosted nucleotide synthesis was the major metabolic aberration inβ-catenin-active cells,and this alteration was also the target of MTX.Moreover,MTX abrogated hepatocarcinogenesis of HBV;β-catenin^(lox(ex3)/+)mice,which stimulated concurrent Ctnnb1-activated mutation and HBV infection in liver cancer.Conclusion:MTX is a promising chemotherapeutic agent forβ-catenin hyperactive liver cancer.Since repurposing MTX has the advantages of lower risk,shorter timelines,and less investment in drug discovery and development,a clinical trial is warranted to test its efficacy in the treatment ofβ-catenin mutant liver cancer.

Arsenic(As)speciation transformation in acid mine drainage(AMD)is comprehensively affected by biological and abiotic factors,such as microbially mediated Fe/S redox reactions and changes in environmental conditions(pH and oxidation-reduction potential).However,their combined impacts on arsenic speciation transformation remain poorly studied.Therefore,we explored arsenic transformation and immobilization during pyrite dissolution mediated by AMD enrichment culture under different acidic pH conditions.The results for incubation and mineralogical transformation of solid residues show that in the presence of AMD enrichment culture,pH 2.0,2.5,and 3.0 are more conducive to the formation of jarosites and ferric arsenate,which could immobilize high quantities of dissolved arsenic by adsorption and coprecipitation.The pH conditions significantly affect the initial adsorption of microbial cells to the minerals and the evolution of microbial community structure,further infuencing the biodissolution of pyrite and the release and oxidation process of Fe/S.The results of Fe/S/As speciation transformation of the solid residues show that the transformation of Fe,S,and As in solution is mainly regulated by pH and potential values,which imposed significantly different effects on the formation of secondary minerals and thus arsenic oxidation and immobilization.The above results indicated that arsenic transformation is closely related to the Fe/S oxidation associated with pyrite bio-oxidation,and this correlation is critically regulated by the pH conditions of the system.
