    Abstract: A new species of Berothidae, Jersiberotha musivum sp. nov., is described and illustrated from mid-Cretaceous (lowest Cenomanian) Myanmar amber. It is easily distinguished from other species of Berothidae by the configuration of the wing venation including: forewing with distinct areas of infuscation surrounding cross-veins and vein forks, all cross-veins simple prior to ScP-RA fusion, presence of two cross-veins ra-rp; absence of inner or outer graduate series of cross-veins; RP with three branches; and absence of ma-mp cross-veins and cua-cup cross-veins; while hind wing has cross-vein 1r-m absent. The previous diagnoses of Iceloberotha Grimaldi, 2000 and Jersiberotha Grimaldi, 2000 are quite unclear because some characters occur mosaically in both genera. In order to solve this problem and distinguish J. musivum from other species in the family, a new key to species of Berothidae from Myanmar amber has been provided and the diagnoses of Iceloberotha and Jersiberotha have been revised.

    Abstract: Segmental bone defects over the self-healing threshold are a major challenge for orthopedics. Despite the advancements in clinical practice, traditional tissue engineering methods are limited by the addition of heterogeneous cells and cytokines, leading to carcinoma or other adverse effects. Here, we present a cell-free and cytokine-free strategy using an ECM-mimetic self-assembling peptide hydrogel (SAPH)- polycaprolactone (PCL) composite scaffold. The hydrophilic SAPH endows the rigid PCL scaffold with excellent biocompatibility and preference for osteogenesis induction. The autologous cells around the bone defect site immediately grew, proliferated, and secreted ECM and cytokines after contacting the implanted SAPH-PCL composite scaffold, and the bone repair of rabbit ulnar segmental bone defect was achieved in just six months. Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals that the SAPH-PCL composite scaffold accelerates osteoblastogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis with moderate immune responses and negligible effects on pathological fibrosis. These findings have important implications for the potential clinical applications of the SAPH-PCL composite scaffold in patients with segmental bone defects and identify the mechanisms of action for accelerated segmental bone defect repair.

    Abstract: In the field of tea separation and processing, modern high‐tech can realize the nondestructive separation of tea and improve the quality of tea. In this study, a novel pressure‐stabilizing inclined chamber classifier was proposed, which was used to adjust the particle size distribution of tea at the entrance of the classifier. A suitable cavity can control the change of wind speed so that tea leaves are not easy to bend and deform, and the success rate of grading is improved. Second, three parameters that affect the success rate of tea classification are put forward: suction wind speed V , suction distance H , and suction distance L . When the parameters are V  = 6 m/s, H  = 40 mm, and L  = 20 mm, the best response value is obtained, thus the most suitable entrance shape is obtained. Finally, the internal flow field of the classifier is analyzed, and different sizes of tea leaves are classified according to the change of air pressure flowing through the closed structure cavity. With the distribution of air velocity, tea leaves fall into collectors with different widths. Therefore, the flow field simulation test shows that the classifier can classify high‐quality tea according to the airflow. The model lays a foundation for further study of the fluid–solid coupling process and interaction between particles. Practical Applications In this study, a novel pressure‐stabilized inclined chamber classifier was designed, and three parameters that affect the success rate of tea classification were put forward. The process conditions were optimized by orthogonal tests, and the number of experiments was reduced. This method can be used to evaluate the influence of various technological parameters on tea classification. In order to improve the classification success rate, it is necessary to statistically discuss the results of the orthogonal test and flow field analysis.

    Abstract: Impaired diabetic wound healing is associated with the persistence of chronic inflammation and excessive oxidative stress, which has become one of the most serious clinical challenges. Wound dressings with anti‐inflammatory and reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐scavenging properties are desirable for diabetic wound treatment. In this study, a shape‐adaptable, biodegradable, biocompatible, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory interleukin‐33 (IL‐33)‐cytogel is developed by encapsulating IL‐33 into physically cross‐linked DNA hydrogels and used as wound dressings to promote diabetic wound healing. The porous microstructures and biodegradable properties of the IL‐33‐cytogel ensure the local sustained‐release of IL‐33 in the wound area, where the sustained‐release of IL‐33 is maintained for at least 7 days. IL‐33‐cytogel can induce local accumulation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), as well as M1‐to‐M2 transition at the wound sites. Additionally, the antioxidant and biocompatible characteristics of DNA hydrogels promote the scavenging of intracellular ROS without affecting cell viability. As a result, local inflammation in the diabetic wound area is resolved upon IL‐33‐cytogel treatment, which is accompanied by improved granulation tissue regeneration and accelerated wound closure. This study demonstrates a promising strategy in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine by incorporating DNA hydrogels and cytokine immunotherapy for promoting diabetic wound healing.

    Abstract: Environmental noise exposure is linked to neuroinflammation and imbalance of the gut microbiota. Promoting gut microbiota homeostasis may be a key factor in relieving the deleterious non-auditory effects of noise. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) intervention on noise-induced cognitive deficits and systemic inflammation in rats. Methods Learning and memory were assessed using the Morris water maze, while 16S rRNA sequencing and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to analyze the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content. Endothelial tight junction proteins and serum inflammatory mediators were assessed to explore the underlying pathological mechanisms. Results The results indicated that Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG intervention ameliorated noise-induced memory deterioration, promoted the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, inhibited the growth of harmful bacteria, improved dysregulation of SCFA-producing bacteria, and regulated SCFA levels. Mechanistically, noise exposure led to a decrease in tight junction proteins in the gut and hippocampus and an increase in serum inflammatory mediators, which were significantly alleviated by Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG intervention. Conclusion Taken together, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG intervention reduced gut bacterial translocation, restored gut and blood-brain barrier functions, and improved gut bacterial balance in rats exposed to chronic noise, thereby protecting against cognitive deficits and systemic inflammation by modulating the gut-brain axis.

    Abstract: Rapid urbanization has posed numerous negative impacts on the environment, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution. However, quantitative investigations of the PM2.5 concentration trends over an urban-rural gradient at the local level are still lacking. The urban particulate matter island (UPI) effect, representing the phenomenon that high particle concentrations in urban areas are gradually attenuated to surrounding areas, was adopted and modified in this paper to study the Hangzhou Bay area from 2000 to 2015. We found the following: (1) every urban area in the Hangzhou Bay area experienced rapid expansion, especially during 2000–2005; (2) more than half of the urban areas suffered UPI problems, and these urban areas had relatively high and stable UPI intensity (UPII) values, although the UPI footprint (UPIFP) values decreased with urban expansion; and (3) urban areas could be divided into three categories: plain areas, hilly areas and the junction of plains and hills, and the probability of the UPI effect varied significantly for different categories. This paper can compensate for the lack of research on the UPI effect at the local level and provide scientific evidence for air pollution control during urban agglomeration planning.

    Abstract: Transcription factors (TFs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are tightly linked to each other in tumor development and progression, but their interactions in gastric cancer (GC) metastasis remain elusive. Here we report a novel suppressive role of GATA6 in inhibiting GC metastasis by transactivating miR-520b. We found that GATA6 expression was significantly downregulated in metastatic GC cells and tissues and that its downregulation was correlated with a poor GC prognosis. Overexpression of GATA6 suppressed GC cell migration, invasion and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that miR-520b is a direct transcriptional target of GATA6. Moreover, miR-520b expression was positively correlated with GATA6 expression in GC tissues, and ectopic expression of miR-520b inhibited the migration and invasion of GC cells. Furthermore, cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) was identified as a direct and functional target of miR-520b, and GATA6 could suppress GC cell migration and metastasis via miR-520b-mediated repression of CREB1. Downregulation of GATA6 and miR-520b may partly account for the overexpression of CREB1 in GC. In conclusion, our results provide novel insight into the TF-miRNA regulatory network involved in GC metastasis. Targeting the GATA6/miR-520b/CREB1 axis may be an effective approach for GC treatment.

    Abstract: Autonomous vehicle technology has developed at an unprecedented rate in recent years. An increasing number of vehicles are equipped with different levels of driving assist systems to reduce the human driver’s burden. However, because of the conservative design of its programming framework, there is still a large gap between the performance of current autonomous driving systems and experienced veteran drivers. This gap can cause drivers to distrust decisions or behaviors made by autonomous vehicles, thus affecting the effectiveness of drivers’ use of auto-driving systems. To further estimate the expected acceptance of autonomous driving systems in real human–machine co-driving situations, a characterization model of driver confidence has to be constructed. This paper conducts a survey of driver confidence in riding autonomous vehicles. Based on the analysis of results, the paper proposes a confidence quantification model called “the Virtual Confidence (VC)” by quantifying three main factors affecting driver confidence in autonomous vehicles, including (1) the intrusive movements of surrounding traffic participants, (2) the abnormal behavior of the ego vehicle, and (3) the complexity of the driving environment. The model culminates in a dynamic confidence bar with values ranging from 0 to 100 to represent the levels of confidence. The validation of the confidence model was verified by doing comparisons between the real-time output of the VC and the real-time feeling of human drivers on an autonomous vehicle simulator. The proposed VC model can potentially identify features that need improvement for auto-driving systems in unmanned tests and provide data reference.
