    Abstract: Macrophage in the spinal cord injury (SCI) area imparts a chronic pro-inflammation effect that challenges the recovery of SCI. Previously, endothelial progenitor cell-produced exosomes (EPC-EXOs) have been noticed to facilitate revascularization and inflammation control after SCI. However, their effects on macrophage polarization remained unclear. This study aimed to investigate the EPC-EXOs' role in macrophage polarization and reveal its underlying mechanism. Methods We extracted the macrophages and EPC from the bone marrow suspension of C57BL/L mice by centrifugation. After cell identification, the EPC-EXOs were collected by ultra-high-speed centrifugation and exosome extraction kits and identified by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Then, macrophages were cultured with EPC-EXOs in different concentrations. We labeled the exosome to confirm its internalization by macrophage and detected the macrophage polarization marker level both in vitro and in vivo. We further estimated EPC-EXOs' protective effects on SCI by mice spinal cord tissue H & E staining and motor behavior evaluation. Finally, we performed RT-qPCR to identify the upregulated miRNA in EPC-EXOs and manipulate its expression to estimate its role in macrophage polarization, SOCS3/JAK2/STAT3 pathway activation, and motor behavior improvement. Results We found that EPC-EXOs decreased the macrophages’ pro-inflammatory marker expression and increased their anti-inflammatory marker expression on the 7 and 14 days after SCI. The spinal cord H & E staining results showed that EPC-EXOs raised the tissue-sparing area rate significantly after 28 days of SCI and the motor behavior evaluation indicated an increased BMS score and motor-evoked potential by EPC-EXOs treatment after SCI. The RT-qPCR assay identified that miR-222-3P upregulated in EPC-EXOs and its miRNA-mimic also decreased the pro-inflammatory macrophages and increased the anti-inflammatory macrophages. Additionally, miR-222-3P mimic activated the SOCS3/JAK2/STAT3 pathway, and SOCS3/JAK2/STAT3 pathway inhibition blocked miR-2223P’s effects on macrophage polarization and mouse motor behavior. Conclusion Comprehensively, we discovered that EPC-EXOs-derived miR-222-3p affected macrophage polarization via SOCS3/JAK2/STAT3 pathway and promoted mouse functional repair after SCI, which reveals EPC-EXOs’ role in modulation of macrophage phenotype and will provide a novel interventional strategy to induce post-SCI recovery.

    Abstract: e16674 Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been used to identify actionable mutations in biliary tract cancers (BTCs). IDH1 is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate, and is involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Mutations in IDH1 are associated with aberrant conversion of alpha- ketoglutarate to 2-hydroxyglutarate, which is an oncogenic metabolite. In addition, IDH1 showed an effective biomarker for cholangiocarcinoma targeted therapy in the ClarIDHy study. Therefore, the detection of IDH1 mutations is essential for predicting sensitivity to targeted therapy. Methods: Deep sequencing targeting 450 cancer genes was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues and matching blood samples that collected from a cohort of 926 Chinese BTC patients, including 469 intrahepatic (ICC), 203 extrahepatic (ECC), 195 gallbladder cancers (GC), and 59 hilar (HCCA) cholangiocarcinoma. Single nucleotide variations (SNV), short and long insertions/deletions (Indels), copy number variations, gene rearrangements, and fusions, were analyzed. The testing was carried out by a College of American Pathologists (CAP) accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory. Results: IDH1 mutations were detected in 3.9% patients, with a median age of 59 years old. The rate of IDH1 mutations was 7% in ICC, 1% in ECC, 0.5% in GC, and 0% in HCCA. IDH1 R132C (75.8%) substitution was the most common type of IDH1 mutation in ICC. In BTC patients, ARID1A (25%), TP53 (22%), and PBRM1 (22%) were the top-ranked co-mutation genes with IDH1. Compared with the IDH1 wild-type cohort, the frequencies of KRAS and TP53 mutations were significantly lower in the IDH1 mutated cohort (29.3% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.001; 56.6% vs. 22.2%, p 〈 0.001). In addition, IDH1 mutations were associated with a significantly lower TMB value compared to the wild-type cases (average TMB: 3.2 vs. 5.8 muts/Mb, p 〈 0.001). Conclusions: To date, this was the largest cohort used to study the characterization of IDH1 mutations in Chinese BTCs. The mutation frequency of IDH1 was lower in Chinese ICCs compared with non-Asian populations (7.0% vs. 16.5%). Consistent with the results from previous reports, IDH1 R132C substitution was the most common type of IDH1 mutation in ICCs (PMID: 31392056). TMB value and the frequency of TP53 and KRAS mutations were lower in patients with IDH1 mutation, which may provide clues for sensitivity to targeted therapy and prognosis.

    Abstract: Platinum (Pt) is a critical element in making electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurring at the cathode of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). To address the Pt abundance issue and to enhance Pt catalysis, Pt is often alloyed with another transition metal M (i.e. M = Fe, Co, and Ni). Ordered intermetallic PtM alloys are considered as one of the most promising candidates to achieve both high activity and stability in practical fuel cell applications. The transition metals in ordered intermetallic PtM alloys occupy specific sites, and are stabilized by both metallic and ionic bonding. Ordered intermetallic structures are formed via high temperature ( 〉 600 °C) annealing of disordered PtM alloys, as the atomic ordering is a thermodynamically driven process. However, the high temperature annealing inevitably leads to the migration and agglomeration of the nanoparticles forming randomly alloyed particles with poor dispersion and broad size distributions, due to weak adhesions to the carbon support under typical processing conditions. To prevent this coalescence during annealing, protective coating of the nanoparticles with inorganic shells or physical barriers has been suggested. However, these studies were limited to the synthesis of intermetallic nanoparticles on carbon supports at low metal loadings, or require an additional step of removing the coating layer from the surface of the nanoparticles to expose the active sites. Thus, it is essential to develop a general approach that can produce highly dispersed, structurally ordered nanoparticles while achieving controls over the size and size distribution. We propose to use the functionalized carbon supports to control PtM alloy nanoparticle size and prevent nanoparticles from aggregating during the high temperature annealing through improving the metal-support interactions. A strong electrostatic attraction between the negative charge from Pt precursor (PtCl 6 2 - ) and positive charge from the amino groups (C-NH 2+ ) on the surface of the functionalized carbon will be established during the wet impregnation synthesis. Such bonds will help to make the PtM nanoparticle size smaller and more uniformly distributed over the surface of support. The ordered intermetallic 30 wt.% PtCo/KB-NH 2 catalyst demonstrated an average size of 2.7 nm and uniform size distribution. In addition, 30 wt.% PtCo/KB-NH 2 catalyst exhibited a mass activity of 535 A/g Pt (H 2 /O 2 ) and a rated power density of 1.05 W/cm 2 at 0.67 V (H 2 /air), meeting the DOE targets.

    Abstract: Pests cause significant damage to agricultural crops and reduce crop yields. Use of manual methods of pest forecasting for integrated pest management is labor‐intensive and time‐consuming. Here, we present an automatic system for monitoring pests in large fields, with the aim of replacing manual forecasting. The system comprises an automatic detection and counting system and a human–computer data statistical fitting system. Image data sets of the target pests from large fields are first input into the system. The number of pests in the image is then counted both manually and using the automatic system. Finally, a mapping relationship between counts obtained using the automated system and by agricultural experts is established using the statistical fitting system. RESULTS Trends in the pest‐count curves produced using the manual and automated counting methods were very similar. To sample the number of pests for manual statistics, plants were shaken to transfer the pests from the plant to a plate. Hence, pests hiding within plant crevices were also sampled and included in the count, whereas the automatic method counted only the pests visible in the images. Therefore, the computer index threshold was much lower than the manual index threshold. However, the proposed system correctly reflected trends in pest numbers obtained using computer vision. CONCLUSION The experimental results demonstrate that our automatic pest‐monitoring system can generate pest grades and can replace manual forecasting methods in large fields. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract: Fluorescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) have been widely used in chemical sensors, biological imaging, and light‐emitting devices. However, individual fluorescent CuNCs have limitations in their capabilities arising from poor photostability and weak emission intensities. As one kind of aggregation‐induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), the formation of aggregates with high compactness and good order can efficiently improve the emission intensity, stability, and tunability of CuNCs. Here, DNA nanoribbons, containing multiple specific binding sites, serve as a template for in situ synthesis and assembly of ultrasmall CuNCs (0.6 nm). These CuNC self‐assemblies exhibit enhanced luminescence and excellent fluorescence stability because of tight and ordered arrangement through DNA nanoribbons templating. Furthermore, the stable and bright CuNC assemblies are demonstrated in the high‐sensitivity detection and intracellular fluorescence imaging of biothiols.

    Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the seventh most common type of cancer; notably, the incidence of HCC is four to eight times higher in men than women. Previous studies reported that the estrogen receptor (ER) signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of HCC, although the extent of its involvement is unclear due to several conflicting reports. In the present study, tumor and paired adjacent non-cancerous tissues from 157 HCC patients were collected. Transcriptome sequencing and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to quantify the ER α (ESR1) expression levels, and the Sequenom EpiTYPER assay was used to delineate the methylation patterns in the ESR1 promoter. We found that ESR1 expression was significantly reduced in tumor tissues ( P  〈  0.001) compared to adjacent non-cancerous tissues. The CpG sites around the transcription start site were significantly hypermethylated in the tumor ( P  〈  0.0001). This methylation pattern also correlated with the gene expression ( P  〈  0.0001). Additionally, we found that the hypermethylation of ESR1 was associated with the presence of fibrous capsules ( P = 1.2 × 10 −4 ), the absence of microvascular invasions ( P = 8.0 × 10 −4 ), thin trabecular pattern ( P = 0.025), and lower histologic gradings ( P = 5.2 × 10 −3 ). Thus, ESR1 expression is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in HCC. Further, promoter hypermethylation may be a mechanism by which expression of ESR1 is repressed, and the extent of hypermethylation of ESR1 may be a marker for HCC status and progression.

    Abstract: We developed a mobile superconducting strip photon detector (SSPD) system operated in a liquid-helium Dewar. By adopting highly disordered NbTiN thin films, we successfully enhanced the detection performance of superconducting strips at higher operation temperatures and realized SSPDs with nearly saturated detection efficiency at 4.2 K. Then we customized a compact liquid-helium Dewar and a battery-based electronic module to minimize the SSPD system. A mobile SSPD system was integrated, which showed a system detection efficiency of 72% for a 1550 nm wavelength with a dark count rate of 200 cps and a timing jitter of 67.2 ps. The system has a weight of 40 kg and a power consumption of 500 mW, which can work continuously for 20 hours. The metrics can be further optimized in accordance with the various practical application platforms, such as aircraft, drones, etc.
