Background With the progression of industrialization, an increasing number of emerging contaminants are entering aquatic environments, posing significant threats to the safety of drinking water. Therefore, establishing a system for identifying unknown hazardous factors and implementing safety warning mechanisms for drinking water is of paramount importance. Among these efforts, non-target screening plays a critical role, but its effectiveness is largely constrained by the scope of coverage of sample pre-treatment methods. Objective To integrate modern chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques with advanced data mining methods to develop a non-discriminatory sample pre-treatment method for comprehensive enrichment of unknown contaminants in drinking water, laying a technical foundation for the discovery and identification of unknown organic hazardous factors in drinking water. Methods A non-discriminatory pre-treatment method based on supramolecular and solid-phase extraction was developed. The final target compounds including 333 pesticides, 194 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and 59 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were used for optimizing the pre-treatment method, confirming its coverage. The impacts of different eluents on the absolute recovery rates of target compounds were compared to select the conditions with the highest recovery for sample pre-treatment. The effects of different supramolecular solvents and salt concentrations on target compound recovery were also evaluated to determine the most suitable solvent and salt concentration. Results The solid-phase extraction elution solvents, supramolecular extraction solvents, and salt concentrations were optimized based on the target compound recovery rates. The optimal recovery conditions were achieved using 2 mL methanol, 2 mL methanol (containing 1% formic acid), 2 mL ethyl acetate, 2 mL dichloromethane, hexanediol supramolecular solvent, and 426 mg salt. The detection method developed based on these conditions showed a good linear relationship for all target compounds in the range of 0.1-100.0 ng·mL⁻¹, with R² > 0.99. The method’s limit of detection ranged from 0.01 ng⁻¹ to 0.95 ng⁻¹, and 95% of target compounds were recovered in the range of 20%-120%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 30%, indicating good precision. Conclusion The combined pre-treatment method of solid-phase extraction and supramolecular solvent extraction can effectively enrich contaminants in drinking water across low, medium, and high polarities, enabling broad-spectrum enrichment of diverse trace contaminants in drinking water. It provides technical support for broad-spectrum, high-throughput screening and identification of organic pollutants in drinking water, and also serves as a reference for establishing urban drinking water public safety warning systems.

RNA modifications constitute a crucial class of post-transcriptional chemical alterations that profoundly influence RNA stability and translational efficiency, thereby shaping cellular protein expression profiles. These diverse chemical marks are ubiquitously involved in key biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and metastatic potential, and they exert precise regulatory control over these functions. A major advance in the field is the recognition that RNA modifications do not act in isolation. Instead, they participate in complex, dynamic interactions—through synergistic enhancement, antagonism, competitive binding, and functional crosstalk—forming what is now termed the “RNA modification interactome” or “RNA modification interaction network.” The formation and functional operation of this interactome rely on a multilayered regulatory framework orchestrated by RNA-modifying enzymes—commonly referred to as “writers,” “erasers,” and “readers.” These enzymes exhibit hierarchical organization within signaling cascades, often functioning in upstream-downstream sequences and converging at critical regulatory nodes. Their integration is further mediated through shared regulatory elements or the assembly into multi-enzyme complexes. This intricate enzymatic network directly governs and shapes the interdependent relationships among various RNA modifications. This review systematically elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying both direct and indirect interactions between RNA modifications. Building upon this foundation, we introduce novel quantitative assessment frameworks and predictive disease models designed to leverage these interaction patterns. Importantly, studies across multiple disease contexts have identified core downstream signaling axes driven by specific constellations of interacting RNA modifications. These findings not only deepen our understanding of how RNA modification crosstalk contributes to disease initiation and progression, but also highlight its translational potential. This potential is exemplified by the discovery of diagnostic biomarkers based on interaction signatures and the development of therapeutic strategies targeting pathogenic modification networks. Together, these insights provide a conceptual framework for understanding the dynamic and multidimensional regulatory roles of RNA modifications in cellular systems. In conclusion, the emerging concept of RNA modification crosstalk reveals the extraordinary complexity of post-transcriptional regulation and opens new research avenues. It offers critical insights into the central question of how RNA-modifying enzymes achieve substrate specificity—determining which nucleotides within specific RNA transcripts are selectively modified during defined developmental or pathological stages. Decoding these specificity determinants, shaped in large part by the modification interactome, is essential for fully understanding the biological and pathological significance of the epitranscriptome.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive dysfunction and behavioral impairment, and there is a lack of effective drugs to treat AD clinically. Existing medications for the treatment of AD, such as Tacrine, Donepezil, Rivastigmine, and Aducanumab, only serve to delay symptoms and but not cure disease. To add insult to injury, these medications are associated with very serious adverse effects. Therefore, it is urgent to explore effective therapeutic drugs for AD. Recently, studies have shown that a variety of enzyme inhibitors, such as cholinesterase inhibitors, monoamine oxidase (MAO)inhibitors, secretase inhibitors, can ameliorate cholinergic system dysfunction, Aβ production and deposition, Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, oxidative stress damage, and the decline of synaptic plasticity, thereby improving AD symptoms and cognitive function. Some plant extracts from natural sources, such as Umbelliferone, Aaptamine, Medha Plus, have the ability to inhibit cholinesterase activity and act to improve learning and cognition. Isochromanone derivatives incorporating the donepezil pharmacophore bind to the catalytic active site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) sites of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which can inhibit AChE activity and ameliorate cholinergic system disorders. A compound called Rosmarinic acid which is found in the Lamiaceae can inhibit monoamine oxidase, increase monoamine levels in the brain, and reduce Aβ deposition. Compounds obtained by hybridization of coumarin derivatives and hydroxypyridinones can inhibit MAO-B activity and attenuate oxidative stress damage. Quinoline derivatives which inhibit the activation of AChE and MAO-B can reduce Aβ burden and promote learning and memory of mice. The compound derived from the combination of propargyl and tacrine retains the inhibitory capacity of tacrine towards cholinesterase, and also inhibits the activity of MAO by binding to the FAD cofactor of monoamine oxidase. A series of hybrids, obtained by an amide linker of chromone in combine with the benzylpiperidine moieties of donepezil, have a favorable safety profile of both cholinesterase and monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity. Single domain antibodies (such as AAV-VHH) targeted the inhibition of BACE1 can reduce Aβ production and deposition as well as the levels of inflammatory cells, which ultimately improve synaptic plasticity. 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyl maslinic acid from the extract of Ligustrum lucidum can specifically inhibit the activity of γ-secretase, thereby rescuing the long-term potentiation and enhancing synaptic plasticity in APP/PS1 mice. Inhibiting γ-secretase activity which leads to the decline of inflammatory factors (such as IFN-γ, IL-8) not only directly improves the pathology of AD, but also reduces Aβ production. Melatonin reduces the transcriptional expression of GSK-3β mRNA, thereby decreasing the levels of GSK-3β and reducing the phosphorylation induced by GSK-3β. Hydrogen sulfide can inhibitGSK-3β activity via sulfhydration of the Cys218 site of GSK-3β, resulting in the suppression of Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, which ameliorate the motor deficits and cognitive impairment in mice with AD. This article reviews enzyme inhibitors and conformational optimization of enzyme inhibitors targeting the regulation of cholinesterase, monoamine oxidase, secretase, and GSK-3β. We are hoping to provide a comprehensive overview of drug development in the enzyme inhibitors, which may be useful in treating AD.

italic>Lamiophlomis rotata is an important medicinal plant species endemic to the Tibetan Plateau, which is prone to strong climate change impacts on its habitable range due to the high sensitivity of the Tibetan Plateau to climate change. Accurate quantification of species vulnerability to climate change is essential for assessing species extinction risk and developing effective conservation strategies. Therefore, we carried out the α-shape analysis to determine the habitat of L. rotata. We then carried out the climate-niche factor analysis (CNFA) to assess the vulnerability of L. rotata to climate change based on five climate variables (i.e., mean diurnal range, temperature seasonality, mean temperature of warmest quarter, precipitation of driest month and precipitation of warmest quarter) in the context of two shared socioeconomic pathways (i.e., SSP126 and SSP585) and three global climate models (CMCC-ESM2: Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici-Earth System Model version 2; HadGEM3-GC31-LL: Hadley Global Environment Model version 3-Global Coupled configuration 3.1; IPSL-CM6A-LR: Institut Pierre Simon Laplace-Climate Model version 6) during two different periods (2041-2060 and 2081-2100). The vulnerability of L. rotata to climate change was calculated by integrating the sensitivity and exposure indices of L. rotata to five climate variables. The results showed that L. rotata had the highest vulnerability to the precipitation of warmest quarter. Its vulnerability within its habitat range generally showed a spatial pattern of high value in the southern region and low in the northern region, high in the western region and low in the eastern region. In general, the vulnerability of L. rotata under the SSP585 scenario was higher than that under the SSP126 scenario. The climate data of different global climate models have some influence on the results, while the resulted uncertainty can be reduced by data integration methods. As a result of climate change, the pressure on the survival of L. rotata in the future will be intensified in the low-altitude areas such as the Yarlung Zangbo River, Yigongzangbu River, Zayu River, and Jiaomuzu River, etc., while the highly weathered scree flats or stony alpine meadows in the high-altitude zones, such as the eastern Tanggula Mountain Range, the northern part of Hengduan Mountain Range, and the western part of the Qinling Mountains, may become its refuge. It is necessary to focus on and strengthen the protection and management of L. rotata resources in these vulnerble and critical areas.

In fixed prosthodontics, clear exposure of the preparation margin is the prerequisite for obtaining accurate digital impressions and improving the marginal fit of restorations. To resolve the issues associated with the cord retraction technique, such as pain, acute injury, and prolonged procedural time, this study proposes a new technology for intraoral digital impression taking with pneumatic gingival retraction. The new scanning head blows a high-speed airflow that instantaneously separates the free gingiva, locally exposing the subgingival preparation margin. Combined with the farthest point preservation stitching algorithm based on the distance from the normal vector and high-speed laser scanning photography, it achieves global preparation edge data and gingival reconstruction, realizing painless, non-invasive, and efficient precise acquisition of the preparation margin. Using this new technique, a patient with a full porcelain crown restoration on a posterior tooth was treated. The digital impression revealed a clear margin of the preparation, and the crown made from this data has a good marginal fit.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing gastrointestinal bleeding associated with esophagogastric fundal varices bleeding(EGVB)in patients with liver cirrhosis 5 years after endoscopic treatment.Methods A retrospective enrollment was conducted on 181 patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent endoscopic treatment with EGVB at the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from February 2017 to May 2019,followed up for a minimum duration of 5 years.The demographic characteristics including gender,age,etiology of liver cirrhosis(viral,alcoholic,autoimmune,others),presence of ascites,hepatic encepha-lopathy severity(none,stage 1～2,stage 3),portal vein thrombosis status,occurrence of liver cancer or portal hypertensive gastric disease along with other complications were recorded.Additionally,peripheral blood indexes[aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),white blood cell count(WBC),total biliru-bin(TBIL),albumin(ALB),platelet count(PLT)],prothrombin time parameters[prothrombin time(PT)and prothrombin time international normalized ratio(PTINR)],portal vein diameter and splenic vein diameter measure-ments as well as Child grade assessment were collected alongside sequential treatment details and rebleeding time.According to the occurrence of rebleeding within 5 years after endoscopic treatment,the 181 cases were divided into two groups:the non-rebleeding group(n=124)and the rebleeding group(n=57).Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify risk factors associated with rebleeding within 5 years after endoscopic treatment.Additionally,Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to assess the cumulative bleeding rate at 1,3,and 5 years.Results The results of both univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis revealed that elevated TBIL levels and increased portal vein diameter were significant risk factors for rebleeding within 5 years following endo-scopic treatment in patients with EGVB(P<0.05).The Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated that out of the 181 patients,there were 41 cases of cumulative bleeding within 1 year,54 cases within 3 years,and 57 cases within 5 years,resulting in cumulative bleeding rates of 22.65%,29.83%,and 31.49%respectively.Conclusions The long-term rebleeding rate remains elevated following endoscopic treatment of EGVB in cirrhotic patients,with TBIL levels and portal vein diameter identified as independent risk factors for long-term rebleeding after endoscopic treatment of EGVB in liver cirrhosis.Therefore,patients with higher TBIL levels and/or cirrhosis should be given priority for endoscopic treatment of EGVB.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of hypoxia on preeclampsia(PE)by modulating the Src/Siglec-6/SHP2 signaling pathway in the cytoplasm of trophoblast cells.Mouse model of PE was established in normal control and Siglec-6 knockdown mice by L-NAME administration,with aims of studying the changes in vascular diameter of spiral arteries in vivo and examining the expression levels of Siglec-6,p-Src,p-Shp2 and p-ERK1/2 proteins in mouse uterine vascular tissues.While,the effect of Src/Siglec-6/SHP2 on the invasive proliferation of trophoblast cells was explored by culturing human chorionic trophoblast cells HTR-8/SVneo with hypoxia in vitro.In vivo experimental assays showed that the diameter of spiral arteries was reduced in the Siglec-6 knockdown group of mice,and the expression levels of Siglec-6,p-Src,p-SHP2 and p-ERK1/2 proteins were significantly reduced.In vitro hypoxic HTR-8/SVneo cell model results revealed that Siglec-6 overexpression could promote trophoblast cell invasion and proliferation by regulating p-Src,p-SHP2,p-ERK1/2,MMP2,P53 and P21.While,suppression of Src and SHP2 eliminated Siglec-6 overexpression-mediated Siglec-6,p-Src,p-SHP2 and p-ERK1/2 expression,and inhibited the ability of Siglec-6 overexpression to mediate trophoblast invasion and proliferation.Taken together,Siglec-6 plays an important role in preeclampsia,and can alleviate preeclampsia by promoting trophoblast invasion and proliferation through the Src/SHP2 signalling pathway.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacies of unilateral biportal endoscopy(UBE)technique and percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy(PELD)technique in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods The clinical data of 149 patients with lumbar disc herniation in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the UBE group(n=80)and the PELD group(n=69)according to different surgical methods.The operation time,intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,postoperative complications,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,Oswestry disability index(ODI)score,intervertebral disc height and vertebral canal area of the two groups were compared.Results The operation time in the UBE group was longer than that in the PELD group,and the intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency was fewer than that in the PELD group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001).There was no significant difference in the intraoperative blood loss or hospital stay between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the VAS or ODI scores at each time point between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the intervertebral disc height or vertebral canal area at each time point between the two groups(P>0.05).The postoperative vertebral canal areas of patients in the two groups were greater than those before surgery,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the UBE group was lower than that in the PELD group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion In terms of short-term efficacy,both PELD technique and UBE technique can effectively relieve the symptoms of low back and leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation,and the UBE technique has longer operation time,but with fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,and lower incidence of postoperative complications.
