    Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop a model that could be used to forecast the bleeding risk of ITP based on proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors. One hundred ITP patients were recruited to build a new predictive nomogram, another eighty-eight ITP patients were enrolled as validation cohort, and data were collected from January 2016 to January 2019. Four demographic characteristics and fifteen clinical characteristics were taken into account. Eleven cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-22, IL-23, TNF-α and TGF-β) were used to study and the levels of them were detected by using a cytometric bead array (CBA) human inflammation kit. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model was used to optimize feature selection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to build a new predictive nomogram based on the results of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regress ion model. The application of C-index, ROC curve, calibration plot, and decision curve analyses were used to assess the discrimination, calibration, and clinical practicability of the predictive model. Bootstrapping validation was used for testing and verifying the predictive model. After feature selection, cytokines IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-23 and TGF-β were excluded, cytokines IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-22, TGF-β, the count of PLT and the length of time of ITP were used as predictive factors in the predictive nomogram. The model showed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.82 (95% confidence interval 0.73376–0.90 624) in training cohortn and 0.89 (95% CI 0.868, 0.902) in validation cohort, an AUC of 0.795 in training cohort, 0.94 in validation cohort and good calibration. A high C-index value of 0.66 was reached in the interval validation assessment. Decision curve analysis showed that the bleeding risk nomogram was clinically useful when intervention was decided at the possibility threshold of 16–84%. The bleeding risk model based on IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-22, TGF-β, the count of PLT and the length of time of ITP could be conveniently used to predict the bleeding risk of ITP.

    Abstract: Global warming has changed the suitability of areas traditionally planted with crops, raising concerns about cereal security. To investigate the possibilities and constraints of increasing yields by breaking through traditional area plantings of wheat cultivars, a two-year field experiment was conducted in southern and northern locations in the Yangtze River basin (YRB), China (separated by approximately 180 km), with seven weak-winter types and six semi-winter types, respectively, bred for the two regions. The movement of weak-winter-type cultivars to the north increased or did not change grain yield and their grain yields were not significantly higher than those of local semi-winter-type cultivars. The movement of semi-winter-type cultivars to the south significantly decreased their yields. Thus, breaking through traditional area plantings did not significantly increase grain yields compared with those of local wheat cultivars. Grain yield of wheat planted in the northern YRB was higher by 5 to 20% than that in the southern YRB because of an increase in spikes that resulted from a longer spike formation phase. In addition, the post-anthesis leaf area declined more slowly in the northern YRB because of higher main stem and tiller survival. High-yielding cultivars always had more spikes and larger photosynthetic areas after anthesis than those of low-yielding cultivars regardless of the planting locations, which led to increases in post-anthesis biomass. However, the grain yield of different cultivars was highly variable under different environmental conditions. The coefficient of variation (CV) of grain yield in different cultivars was significantly positively correlated with the CV of spike number and post-anthesis biomass, implying that flexibility spike number and post-anthesis biomass in response to environmental changes can maximize release of yield potential. Therefore, improving main stem and tiller survival can increase spike number and maintain post-anthesis photosynthetic areas and help to establish a large, highly stable, and productive population with a high level of suitability and production through effectively utilizing the resources during the late growth phase. Valuable suggestions for breeding high-yield and -stability cultivars and confirming their planting range in the future are given.

    Abstract: The genetic make-up of an individual contributes to the susceptibility and response to viral infection. Although environmental, clinical and social factors have a role in the chance of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and the severity of COVID-19 1,2 , host genetics may also be important. Identifying host-specific genetic factors may reveal biological mechanisms of therapeutic relevance and clarify causal relationships of modifiable environmental risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection and outcomes. We formed a global network of researchers to investigate the role of human genetics in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 severity. Here we describe the results of three genome-wide association meta-analyses that consist of up to 49,562 patients with COVID-19 from 46 studies across 19 countries. We report 13 genome-wide significant loci that are associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection or severe manifestations of COVID-19. Several of these loci correspond to previously documented associations to lung or autoimmune and inflammatory diseases 3–7 . They also represent potentially actionable mechanisms in response to infection. Mendelian randomization analyses support a causal role for smoking and body-mass index for severe COVID-19 although not for type II diabetes. The identification of novel host genetic factors associated with COVID-19 was made possible by the community of human genetics researchers coming together to prioritize the sharing of data, results, resources and analytical frameworks. This working model of international collaboration underscores what is possible for future genetic discoveries in emerging pandemics, or indeed for any complex human disease.

    Abstract: Cost-effective and highly efficient Fe–N–C single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been considered to be one of the most promising potential Pt substitutes for the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Nevertheless, they are subject to severe oxidative corrosion originating from the Fenton reaction, leading to poor long-time durability of PEMFCs. Herein, we propose a MnO x engineered Fe–N–C SAC (Mn–Fe–N–C SAC) to reduce and even eliminate the stability issue, as MnO x accelerates the degradation of the H 2 O 2 by-product via a disproportionation reaction to weaken the Fenton reaction. As a result, the Mn–Fe–N–C SAC shows an ultralow H 2 O 2 yield and a negligible half-wave potential shift after 10 000 continuous potential cycles, demonstrating excellent ORR stability. Besides, the Mn–Fe–N–C SAC also shows an improved ORR activity compared to the common Fe–N–C SAC. Results show that the MnO x interacts with the Fe–N x site, possibly forming Fe–Mn or Fe–O–Mn bonds, and enhances the intrinsic activity of single iron sites. This work provides a method to overcome the stability problem of Fe–N–C SACs while still yielding excellent catalytic activity, thus showing great promise for application in PEMFCs.

    Abstract: Hyperuricemia is associated with substantial health and economic burden all over the world. Dietary habits are an important influencing factor of hyperuricemia. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between spicy food intake and hyperuricemia based on a large population. A total of 22,125 individuals aged 30–79 were enrolled in China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC), Chongqing region. Spicy food intake information was collected by a standardized questionnaire. The association between spicy food intake and hyperuricemia was estimated by multivariable logistic regression models and multiple linear regression models. Additionally, we explored these relations in subgroups stratified by sex and age. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses were conducted to verify the stability of current findings. After controlling for potential confounders, compared with participants who never consumed spicy food and consumed less hot, participants who ate 3–5 days per week and very hot had the highest risk of hyperuricemia; the ORs (95% CIs) were 1.28 (1.09, 1.5) and 1.22 (0.92, 1.63), respectively. Additionally, the corresponding ORs (95% CIs) for each level increment in the frequency and degree of pungency in spicy food intake were 1.04 (1.01, 1.07) ( P trend = 0.009) and 1.15 (1.04, 1.26) ( P trend = 0.004). Further in sex-stratified and age-stratified analysis, similar positive associations were observed among men and those aged 30–59, but no significant association was found among women and those aged 60–79. In the linear regression models, 3–5 days per week and moderate pungency in spicy food intake were associated with 5.21 μmol/L (95% CI: 1.72, 8.70) and 4.69 μmol/L (95% CI: 1.93, 7.45) higher serum urate level. Results in further subgroup analysis were generally consistent with the logistic regression models. This study suggests that spicy food intake may be a risk factor for hyperuricemia, especially in men and younger people, and more studies are warranted to verify the causal associations.

    Abstract: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lineage B.1.617.2 (also named the Delta variant) was declared as a variant of concern by the World Health Organization (WHO). This study aimed to describe the outbreak that occurred in Nanjing city triggered by the Delta variant through the epidemiological parameters and to understand the evolving epidemiology of the Delta variant. Methods We collected the data of all COVID-19 cases during the outbreak from 20 July 2021 to 24 August 2021 and estimated the distribution of serial interval, basic and time-dependent reproduction numbers (R 0 and R t ), and household secondary attack rate (SAR). We also analyzed the cycle threshold (Ct) values of infections. Results A total of 235 cases have been confirmed. The mean value of serial interval was estimated to be 4.79 days with the Weibull distribution. The R 0 was 3.73 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.66–5.15] as estimated by the exponential growth (EG) method. The R t decreased from 4.36 on 20 July 2021 to below 1 on 1 August 2021 as estimated by the Bayesian approach. We estimated the household SAR as 27.35% (95% CI, 22.04–33.39%), and the median Ct value of open reading frame 1ab (ORF1ab) genes and nucleocapsid protein (N) genes as 25.25 [interquartile range (IQR), 20.53–29.50] and 23.85 (IQR, 18.70–28.70), respectively. Conclusions The Delta variant is more aggressive and transmissible than the original virus types, so continuous non-pharmaceutical interventions are still needed.
