For autoimmune disease (AD) and autoinflammatory disease (AID)-related haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) (AD/AID-HLH), there is still a lack of standardized treatment. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the main treatment currently; however, 37.9% to 61% of patients fail to achieve effective control of HLH, making it urgent to find novel treatment strategies.

We constructed a bio-structured surface-plasmonic/magneto-optic composite of ferromagnet metal Ni and noble metal Au. It was found that Ni (Mm) butterfly wings (BWs) with a natural photonic crystal structure have an apparent enhancement of light reflection under a 0.3 T magnetic field.

Soluble solids content is an important evaluation index affecting the quality of greengage fruit. The SSC content of green plum determines the picking time of green plum and what products are finally made into the market, such as preserves or fruit wine. The traditional destructive experiment is not conducive to the subsequent processing of green plum, and the efficiency is low and the labor cost is high.

Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (pHLH) is a rare immune disorder and hematopoietic stem cell transplan- tation (HSCT) is the only potentially curative treatment. Given the high pre-HSCT mortality of pHLH patients reported in the HLH-2004 study (17%), more regimens to effectively control the disease and form a bridge with HSCT are needed. We conducted a retrospective study of pHLH children treated by ruxolitinib (RUX)-based regimen.

Article Synopsis
  • A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on Longyan Shan-ma ducks to identify genes related to primary feather color using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology.
  • Seven significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found within specific genes, indicating a strong association with feather color traits.
  • The study identified key genes involved in pigmentation and follicle development, suggesting potential genetic mechanisms influencing feather color in these ducks.

Deciphering the cell-type composition in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) can significantly increase the efficacy of cancer treatment and improve the prognosis of cancer. Such a task has benefited from microarrays and RNA sequencing technologies, which have been widely adopted in cancer studies, resulting in extensive expression profiles with clinical phenotypes across multiple cancers. Current state-of-the-art tools can infer cell-type composition from bulk expression profiles, providing the possibility of investigating the inter-heterogeneity and intra-heterogeneity of TIME across cancer types.

Owing to the surge in greenhouse gas emissions, climate change is attracting increasing attention worldwide. As the world's largest carbon emitter, the achievement of emission peak and carbon neutrality by China is seen as a milestone in the global response to the threat. By setting different "emission peak" and "carbon neutrality" paths, this study compares the different pathways taken by China towards regional emission reduction to illustrate China's possible contribution to global emission reduction, and analyzes the role that China's economy, population, and technology need to play in this process through the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology model.

The use of porous hard carbons (PHCs) as electrode materials in sodium-ion batteries has great potential; however, the exposure of large surface areas to electrolyte flow results in irregular and irreversible solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs), leading to deteriorated ionic and electronic mobility and inferior initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE). These issues can be addressed through suitable structural modifications of PHC materials. Herein, the integration of high-surface-area PHCs with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) was accomplished by a simple electrospinning technique, which resulted in a uniform and reversible SEI layer.

Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic progressive inflammatory disease of the spine and its affiliated tissues. AS mainly affects the axial bone, sacroiliac joint, hip joint, spinal facet, and adjacent ligaments. We used machine learning (ML) methods to construct diagnostic models based on blood routine examination, liver function test, and kidney function test of patients with AS.

Sophisticated metastructures are usually required to broaden the inherently narrowband plasmonic absorption of light for applications such as solar desalination, photodetection, and thermoelectrics. Here, nonresonant nickel nanoparticles (diameters < 20 nm) are embedded into cellulose microfibers via a nanoconfinement effect, producing an intrinsically broadband metamaterial with 97.1% solar-weighted absorption.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important driver for biogeochemical reactions that affect microbial community function, and regulate changes in porewater chemical composition and redox properties in the environment. This study investigated the variation in DOM molecular composition during the detachment of organic matter (OM) from hyporheic zone (HZ) sediments using Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FTICR-MS). Diffusive mass transfer and microbial degradation were the two primary processes controlling the rate of OM release and molecular composition changes during the detachment from sediments.
