Digital holography can reconstruct the amplitude and phase information of the target light field. However, the reconstruction quality is largely limited by the size of the hologram. Multi-plane holograms can impose constraints for reconstruction, yet the quality of the reconstructed images continues to be restricted owing to the deficiency of effective prior information constraints.

Microplastics (MPs) have become a global hotspot due to their widespread distribution in recent years. MPs frequently interact with dissolved organic matter (DOM) and microbes, thereby influencing the carbon fate of soils. However, the role of plant presence in regulating MPs-mediated changes in the DOM and microbial structure remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) might cause heart defects by impairing the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway, which is crucial for protecting heart cells from oxidative damage.
  • - Zebrafish embryos exposed to PFOA exhibited significant cardiac issues, including abnormal heart structure and function, marked by increased oxidative stress indicators and reduced activity of protective enzymes.
  • - Overexpressing Nrf2 in these embryos diminished oxidative stress and improved heart development, suggesting that activating this pathway could help counteract the damaging effects of PFOA on cardiac health.

  • This study compared the pain relief effectiveness of Intercostal Nerve Block (ICNB) and Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) during thoracoscopic surgery recovery, focusing on their effects on chronic pain development.
  • A total of 74 patients were randomly assigned to receive either ICNB or SAPB with 0.5% ropivacaine, and pain levels were measured at various postoperative intervals.
  • Results indicated that SAPB resulted in lower pain scores for coughing and resting compared to ICNB, required less opioid medication, and showed similar rates of chronic pain after three months; specific factors like resting pain scores and surgical duration were linked to chronic pain risk.

Introduction: Corneal endothelial transplantation accounts for most of corneal transplantation for treating corneal diseases, however severe shortage of corneal donors is the biggest obstacle. In our previous study, we differentiated human skin-derived precursors (SKPs) into corneal endothelial cell (CEC)-like cells with a co-culture system. In this study, we aimed to investigate cell differentiation molecular mechanism and evaluate the function of CEC-like cells by developing tissue-engineered corneas in order to improve cell production efficiency and provide basic research for clinical transformation.

The widespread application of neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) has attracted widespread attention to their potential ecotoxicological effects. In this study, we systematically evaluated the toxic effects of thiamethoxam (TMX) and its metabolite clothianidin (CLO) on earthworms (Eisenia fetida). Specifically, the antioxidant system responses and endogenous metabolite metabolism responses in earthworms were analyzed in the temporal dimension after 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of exposure to TMX and CLO.

Article Synopsis
  • Categorical traits in plants, such as binary and ordinal types, present challenges for studying genetic variation due to their complex architecture and the limits of traditional analysis methods.
  • The study proposes using Fast multi-locus ridge regression (FastRR), initially created for continuous traits, to effectively analyze binary and ordinal traits through a three-stage process.
  • Simulation results indicate that FastRR significantly surpasses other methods in identifying small-effect quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs), achieving better accuracy and faster computation; it successfully identified many more significant loci in real datasets compared to existing algorithms.

Article Synopsis
  • Food contamination by mycotoxins like zearalenone (ZEA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) poses serious health risks, particularly causing heart defects in unborn babies.
  • A study using a zebrafish model found that citrus limonoid nomilin (NOM) can help reduce the heart damage from ZEA and DON by improving gene expression related to heart development.
  • NOM enhances antioxidant activity and reduces oxidative stress by activating the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway, providing new strategies for preventing congenital heart disease linked to mycotoxin exposure.

Biochar (BC) has emerged as a potential solution to phosphate removal from wastewater primarily resulting from global overuse of fertilizers. Further modification by embedment of iron (Fe)-manganese (Mn) oxides on BC can enhance phosphate removal; however, the modification method serves as a vital factor underlying distinctive removal performances and mechanisms, which have yet been systematically examined. Herein, two Fe-Mn modified BC, Fe/MnBC (comprised of FeO and MnO) and Fe-MnBC (comprised of MnFeO), were comprehensively investigated for gaining insights into the unsolved perspectives.

Variants (pathogenic) of the gene are a common cause of familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), which is characterised by early-onset atrioventricular (AV) block, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs), and progressive heart failure. The unstable internal nuclear lamina observed in -related DCM is a consequence of the disassembly of lamins A and C. This suggests that variants produce truncated or alternative forms of protein that alter the nuclear structure and the signalling pathway related to cardiac muscle diseases.

Given the increasing trend of aging population in the world, neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), a common type of diseases that mostly occur in the elderly, have attracted much more attention. It has been shown that tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation, an important pathological feature of NDDs, and affects the occurrence and development of NDDs. Most importantly, the regulatory effect of TRAF6 is related to its ubiquitination.

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a critical neurological complication of sepsis and represents a crucial factor contributing to high mortality and adverse prognosis in septic patients. This study explored the contribution of NAT10-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) acetylation in cognitive dysfunction associated with SAE, utilizing a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced SAE mouse model. Our findings demonstrate that CLP significantly upregulates NAT10 expression and mRNA acetylation in the excitatory neurons of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG).

Background: Neoadjuvant immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, little is known about which patients are likely to benefit most from neoadjuvant immunotherapy. In this study, we performed a multiplatform analysis on samples from resectable NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy to explore molecular characteristics related to immune responses.

Article Synopsis
  • Older liver donors have a harder time after liver transplants because their bodies react too strongly to injury.
  • A special protein called MSR1, which helps regulate the body's response to inflammation, is not working well in these older donors.
  • Scientists found that boosting MSR1 levels can help improve the recovery process after a transplant by making the immune cells better at healing.

Aging-related alterations in hepatic enzyme activity, particularly of the CYP3A, significantly impact drug efficacy and safety in older adults, making it essential to understand how aging affects CYP function for optimal drug therapy. The exogenous probe substrate method, a minimally invasive approach to assess liver metabolic enzyme activity in vivo, is effective in studying these changes. Amlodipine being extensively metabolized (> 90%) in the liver, primarily via cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A was selected as a probe to investigate and quantify the factors affecting the aging-related changes of CYP3A in the Chinese older population.

Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, metal-organic cage structures have great potential for applications in various fields. However, current studies have mainly focused on highly symmetric structures assembled from single metal ions and organic ligands, limiting their diversity and complexity, and there are still relatively few studies on the dynamic formation process of metal-organic cages. Herein, we constructed a series of metal-organic cages with different sizes assembled from the highly-stable coordination of 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-based tetratopic ligands and various metals ions such as Zn, Cu, Co and Fe.
