A fluorescent probe for detecting H2O2 and delivering H2S in lysosomes and its application in maintaining the redox environments

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can be used as a marker for the occurrence of oxidative stress in the organism. Lysosomes serve as intracellular digestive sites, and when the concentration of H2O2 in them is abnormal, lysosomal function is often impaired, leading to the development of diseases. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a gaseous signaling molecule that scavenges H2O2 from cells and tissues, thereby maintaining the redox environment of the body. However, most of the reported hydrogen peroxide fluorescent probes so far can only detect H2O2, but cannot maintain the intracellular redox environment. In this paper, an H2O2 fluorescent probe LN-HOD with lysosomal targeting properties was designed and synthesized by combining the H2O2 recognition site with a naphthylamine fluorophore via a thiocarbamate moiety. The probe has the advantages of large Stokes shift (110 nm), high sensitivity and good H2S release capability. The probe LN-HOD can be used to detect H2O2 in cells, zebrafish and plant roots. In addition, LN-HOD detects changes in the concentration of H2O2 in plant roots when Arabidopsis is stressed by cadmium ion (Cd2+). And through its ability to release H2S, it can help to remove excess H2O2 and maintain the redox environment in cells, zebrafish and plant roots. The present work provides new ideas for the detection and assisted removal of H2O2, which contributes to the in-depth study of the cellular microenvironment in organisms.

CT venography combined with ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment for recurrent varicose veins: a pilot paired-design clinical trial

AIM

To compare 1-year outcomes of computed tomography venography (CTV) combined with ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment with ascending phlebography and ultrasound-guided treatment for recurrent varicose veins.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Consecutive patients with unilateral recurrent varicose veins were matched by gender, age, C classification, and degree of obesity, and randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either CTV (CTV group) or ascending phlebography (control group) combined with ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment. Patients were followed up by clinical and ultrasound examination. Follow-up was scheduled at 1 week, and 3, 6, and 12 months. The primary outcome measure was the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) at 12 months. Measures of secondary outcome included Chronic Insufficiency Venous International Questionnaire-20 (CIVIQ-20) score, recurrence of varicose vein or ulcer during 12 months, ulcer healing time, detection and location of treated veins.

RESULTS

Eighty patients were enrolled. Median VCSS in the CTV group was lower than it in the control group (p=0.04) and the CIVIQ-20 score was higher than the control group (p=0.02). By 12 months, no symptomatically recurrent varicose veins or ulcers had occurred. The ulcer healing time in CTV group was shorter (p<0.01). A greater number of patients had treated veins detected using CTV than by ascending venography (p=0.01), especially among patients with recurrence reflux veins in the groin, perineum, and vulva (p<0.01).

CONCLUSION

CTV combined with ultrasound may be more helpful than ascending phlebography combined with ultrasound to improve treatment efficacy for recurrent varices. These results should be verified by an future study with more patients and long-term follow-up.

Fine mapping and analysis of a candidate gene controlling Phytophthora blight resistance in cucumber

Cucumber blight is a destructive disease. The best way to control this disease is resistance breeding. This study focuses on disease resistance gene mapping and molecular marker development. We used the resistant cucumber, JSH, and susceptible cucumber, B80, as parents to construct F2 populations. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) combined with specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) were used, from which we developed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPs) markers to map the resistance gene. Resistance in F2 individuals showed a segregation ratio of resistance:susceptibility close to 3:1. The gene in JSH resistant cucumber was mapped to an interval of 9.25 kb, and sequencing results for the three genes in the mapped region revealed three mutations at base sites 225, 302, and 591 in the coding region of Csa5G139130 between JSH and B80, but no mutations in coding regions of Csa5G139140 and Csa5G139150. The mutations caused changes in amino acids 75 and 101 of the protein encoded by Csa5G139130, suggesting that Csa5G139130 is the most likely resistance candidate gene. We developed a molecular marker, CAPs-4, as a closely linked marker for the cucumber blight resistance gene. This is the first report on mapping of a cucumber blight resistance gene and will provideg a useful marker for molecular breeding of cucumber resistance to Phytophthora blight.

Study of association between corneal shape parameters and axial length elongation during orthokeratology using image-pro plus software

BACKGROUND

The aim was to validate the correlation between corneal shape parameters and axial length growth (ALG) during orthokeratology using Image-Pro Plus (IPP) 6.0 software.

METHODS

This retrospective study used medical records of myopic children aged 8-13 years (n = 104) undergoing orthokeratology. Their corneal topography and axial length were measured at baseline and subsequent follow-ups after lens wear. Corneal shape parameters, including the treatment zone (TZ) area, TZ diameter, TZ fractal dimension, TZ radius ratio, eccentric distance, pupil area, and pupillary peripheral steepened zone(PSZ) area, were measured using IPP software. The impact of corneal shape parameters at 3 months post-orthokeratology visit on 1.5-year ALG was evaluated using multivariate linear regression analysis.

RESULTS

ALG exhibited significant associations with age, TZ area, TZ diameter, TZ fractal dimension, and eccentric distance on univariate linear regression analysis. Multivariate regression analysis identified age, TZ area, and eccentric distance as significantly correlated with ALG (all P < 0.01), with eccentric distance showing the strongest correlation (β = -0.370). The regressive equation was y = 1.870 - 0.235a + 0.276b - 0.370c, where y represents ALG, a represents age, b represents TZ area, and c represents eccentric distance; R2 = 0.27). No significant relationships were observed between the TZ radius ratio, pupillary PSZ area, and ALG.

CONCLUSIONS

IPP software proves effective in capturing precise corneal shape parameters after orthokeratology. Eccentric distance, rather than age or the TZ area, significantly influences ALG retardation.

Plasma Metabolic Profiling and Multiclass Diagnostic Model Development for Stable Angina Pectoris and Acute Myocardial Infarction

Coronary heart disease remains a major global health challenge, with a clear need for enhanced early risk assessment. This study aimed to elucidate metabolic signatures across various stages of coronary heart disease and develop an effective multiclass diagnostic model. Using metabolomic approaches, gas chromatography-mass and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze plasma samples from healthy controls, patients with stable angina pectoris, and those with acute myocardial infarction. Pathway enrichment analysis was conducted on metabolites exhibiting significant differences. The key metabolites were identified using Random Forest and Recursive Feature Elimination strategies to construct a multiclass diagnostic model. The performance of the model was validated through 10-fold cross-validation and evaluated using confusion matrices, receiver operating characteristic curves, and calibration curves. Metabolomics was used to identify 1491 metabolites, with 216, 567, and 295 distinctly present among the healthy controls, patients with stable angina pectoris, and those with acute myocardial infarction, respectively. This implicated pathways such as the glucagon signaling pathway, d-amino acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and amoebiasis across various stages of coronary heart disease. After selection, testosterone isobutyrate, N-acetyl-tryptophan, d-fructose, l-glutamic acid, erythritol, and gluconic acid were identified as core metabolites in the multiclass diagnostic model. Evaluating the diagnostic model demonstrated its high discriminative ability and accuracy. This study revealed metabolic pathway perturbations at different stages of coronary heart disease, and a precise multiclass diagnostic model was established based on these findings. This study provides new insights and tools for the early diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease.

Energy-Efficient Electrosynthesis of High Value-Added Active Chlorine Coupled with H2 Generation from Direct Seawater Electrolysis through Decoupling Electrolytes

Direct saline (seawater) electrolysis is a well-recognized system to generate active chlorine species for the chloride-mediated electrosynthesis, environmental remediation and sterilization over the past few decades. However, the large energy consumption originated from the high cell voltage of traditional direct saline electrolysis system, greatly restricts its practical application. Here, we report an acid-saline hybrid electrolysis system for energy-saving co-electrosynthesis of active chlorine and H2. We demonstrate that this system just requires a low cell voltage of 1.59 V to attain 10 mA cm-2 with a large energy consumption decrease of 27.7 % compared to direct saline electrolysis system (2.20 V). We further demonstrate that such acid-saline hybrid electrolysis system could be extended to realize energy-saving and sustainable seawater electrolysis. The acidified seawater in this system can absolutely avoid the formation of Ca/Mg-based sediments that always form in the seawater electrolysis system. We also prove that this system in the half-flow mode can realize real-time preparation of active chlorine used for sterilization and pea sprout production.

[Effect of LAG3 deficiency on natural killer cell function and hepatic fibrosis in mice infected with Echinococcus multilocularis]

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effect of LAG-3 deficiency (LAG3-/-) on natural killer (NK) cell function and hepatic fibrosis in mice infected with Echinococcus multilocularis.

METHODS

C57BL/6 mice, each weighing (20 ± 2) g, were divided into the LAG3-/- and wild type (WT) groups, and each mouse in both groups was inoculated with 3 000 E. multilocularis protoscoleces via the hepatic portal vein. Mouse liver and spleen specimens were collected 12 weeks post-infection, sectioned and stained with sirius red, and the hepatic lesions and fibrosis were observed. Mouse hepatic and splenic lymphocytes were isolated, and flow cytometry was performed to detect the proportions of hepatic and splenic NK cells, the expression of CD44, CD25 and CD69 molecules on NK cell surface, and the secretion of interferon γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10 and IL-17A.

RESULTS

Sirius red staining showed widening of inflammatory cell bands and hyperplasia of fibrotic connective tissues around mouse hepatic lesions, as well as increased deposition of collagen fibers in the LAG3-/-group relative to the WT group. Flow cytometry revealed lower proportions of mouse hepatic (6.29% ± 1.06% vs. 11.91% ± 1.85%, P < 0.000 1) and splenic NK cells (4.44% ± 1.22% vs. 5.85% ± 1.10%, P > 0.05) in the LAG3-/- group than in the WT group, and the mean fluorescence intensity of CD44 was higher on the surface of mouse hepatic NK cells in the LAG3-/- group than in the WT group (t = -3.234, P < 0.01), while no significant differences were found in the mean fluorescence intensity of CD25 or CD69 on the surface of mouse hepaticNK cells between the LAG3-/- and WT groups (both P values > 0.05). There were significant differences between the LAG3-/- and WT groups in terms of the percentages of IFN-γ (t = -0.723, P > 0.05), TNF-α (t = -0.659, P > 0.05), IL-4 (t = -0.263, P > 0.05), IL-10 (t = -0.455, P > 0.05) or IL-17A secreted by mouse hepatic NK cells (t = 0.091, P > 0.05), and the percentage of IFN-γ secreted by mouse splenic NK cells was higher in the LAG3-/- group than in the WT group (58.40% ± 1.64% vs. 50.40% ± 4.13%; t = -4.042, P < 0.01); however, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the proportions of TNF-α (t = -1.902, P > 0.05), IL-4 (t = -1.333, P > 0.05), IL-10 (t = -1.356, P > 0.05) or IL-17A secreted by mouse splenic NK cells (t = 0.529, P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

During the course of E. multilocularis infections, LAG3-/- promotes high-level secretion of IFN-γ by splenic NK cells, which may participate in the reversal the immune function of NK cells, resulting in aggravation of hepatic fibrosis.

Dual-modified starch as particulate emulsifier for Pickering emulsion: Structure, safety properties, and application for encapsulating curcumin

In this study, cinnamic acid modified acid-ethanol hydrolyzed starch (CAES) with different degrees of substitution (DS) was fabricated to stabilize Pickering emulsions and probed their application for encapsulating curcumin (Cur). Successful preparation of CAES (with DS from 0.016 to 0.191) was confirmed by 1H NMR and FT-IR, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TGA. The biosafety evaluations and surface wettability confirmed the excellent safety and amphiphilic character of CAES. CAES-stabilized Pickering emulsion (CS-PE) exhibited different emulsion stability at different DS, with CS-PE (0.031) showing the highest stability. CLSM revealed that the CAES (0.031) formed a dense barrier on the surface of the oil droplets, preventing them from coalescing. The CS-PE (0.031) achieved effective encapsulation of Cur (up to 96.2 %). Compared with free Cur, CS-PE (0.031) exhibited better photochemical stability, higher free fatty acids (FFA) release, and enhanced bioaccessibility. These studies suggested that CAES may serve as a promising emulsifier for stabilizing Pickering emulsions to encapsulate and deliver hydrophobic bioactive compounds.

Clinical outcomes of SMILE and WFG-LASIK used to treat myopia and astigmatism: A systematic review and meta-analysis

PURPOSE

To evaluate the safety, efficacy and postoperative visual quality of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and Wavefront-Guided Laser in situ keratomileusis (WFG-LASIK) and to analyze their efficacy in correcting astigmatism.

METHODS

A systematic literature search was performed using Cochrane Collaboration methodology. Databases searched included PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science. RevMan software version 5.3.0 was used for meta-analysis.

RESULTS

A total of 976 eyes were included in 8 studies, of which 539 eyes underwent SMILE and 437 eyes underwent WFG-LASIK. There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of eyes achieving uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better (P=0.18), the proportion of eyes within±0.50 diopter of target refraction postoperatively (P=0.10), or the postoperative magnitude of cylinder (P=0.10). Regarding the Alpins vector analysis of astigmatism, there was no statistically significant difference in the surgical magnitude of error (P=0.09) between the two groups. WFG-LASIK has a lower surgical angle of error (P= 0.002) and higher surgical correction index of cylinder (P=0.03) than SMILE. In terms of aberrations, higher order aberrations (P=0.46), spherical aberrations (P=0.22) and trefoil (P=0.56) were not statistically different, while WFG-LASIK induced less coma than SMILE surgery (P=0.02).

CONCLUSION

Both SMILE and WFG-LASIK are safe and effective ways to correct myopia and astigmatism. Compared with SMILE, WFG-LASIK has a lower surgical angle of error, higher surgical correction index of cylinder and induces less coma.

Response surface methodology to optimize the sterilization process of slightly acidic electrolyzed water for Chinese shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) and to investigate its effect on shrimp quality

Chinese shrimps are popular among consumers for their delicious taste and high nutritional value, but they are highly susceptible to deterioration due to microbial contamination with degradation of texture, color and flavor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of available chlorine concentration (ACC), processing time and material-liquid ratio on the bacterial inhibition rate of shrimp treated with slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW). The effective parameters were optimized by response surface methodology to the optimal bactericidal conditions: ACC 88 mg/L, processing time 12 min, and material-liquid ratio 1:4. The actual bactericidal inhibition rate of shrimp under these conditions was 37.60 %. On this basis, the quality, color difference and textural changes of shrimp treated with SAEW, sodium hypochlorite and alkaline electrolytic water were compared and investigated during storage at 4 °C. The combined results showed that the SAEW treatment could extend the shelf-life by more than 2 d.

Amplitude Analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} Decay

An amplitude analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} decay is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7  fb^{-1} of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. For the first time, the coefficients associated to short-distance physics effects, sensitive to processes beyond the standard model, are extracted directly from the data through a q^{2}-unbinned amplitude analysis, where q^{2} is the μ^{+}μ^{-} invariant mass squared. Long-distance contributions, which originate from nonfactorizable QCD processes, are systematically investigated, and the most accurate assessment to date of their impact on the physical observables is obtained. The pattern of measured corrections to the short-distance couplings is found to be consistent with previous analyses of b- to s-quark transitions, with the largest discrepancy from the standard model predictions found to be at the level of 1.8 standard deviations. The global significance of the observed differences in the decay is 1.4 standard deviations.

[Application value of laparoscopic double stapler firings and double stapling technique combined with rectal eversion and total extra-abdominal resection in the sphincter-preserving resection of low rectal cancer]

Objectives: To investigate the application value of laparoscopic double stapler firings and double stapling technique combined with rectal eversion and total extra-abdominal resection (LDER) in the anal preservation treatment of low rectal cancer. Methods: Inclusion criteria: (1) age was 18-70; (2) the distance of the lower tumor edge from the anal verge was 4-5 cm; (3) primary tumor with a diameter ≤3 cm; (4) preoperative staging of T1~2N1~2M0; (5) "difficult pelvis", defined as ischial tuberosity diameter<10 cm or body mass index>25 kg/m2; (6) patients with strong intention for sphincter preservation; (7) no preoperative treatment (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or immunotherapy); (8) no lateral lymph node enlargement; (9) no previous anorectal surgery; (10) patients with good basic condition who could tolerate surgery. Exclusion criteria: (1) previously suffered from malignant tumors of the digestive tract or currently suffering from malignant tumors out of the digestive tract; (2) patients with preoperative anal dysfunction (Wexner score ≥ 10), or fecal incontinence. The specific surgical steps are as follows: the distal end of the rectum was dissected to the level of the interspace between internal and external sphincters of anal canal. Five centimeters proximal to the tumor, the mesorectum was ligated, and a liner stapler was used to transect the rectum. The distal rectum with the tumor were then everted and extracted through the anus. The rectum was transected 0.5-1.0 cm distal to the tumor with a linear stapler. Full thickness suture was used to reinforce the stump of the rectum, which was then brought back into the pelvic cavity. Finally, an end-to-end anastomosis between the colon and the rectum was performed. A retrospective descriptive study was performed of the clinical and pathological data of 12 patients with T1-T2 stage low rectal cancer treated with LDER at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. Results: All 12 patients successfully completed LDER with sphincter preservation, without conversion to open surgery or changes in surgical approach. The median surgical time was 272 (155-320) minutes, with a median bleeding volume of 100 (50-200) mL. No protective stoma was performed, and all patients received R0 resection. The average hospital stay was 9 (7-15) days. There were no postoperative anastomotic leakage or perioperative deaths. All 12 patients received postoperative follow-up, with a median follow-up of 12 months (6-36 months) and a Wexner score of 8 (5-14) at 6 months postoperatively. There was no tumor recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up period. Conclusions: LDER is safe and effective for the treatment of low rectal cancer.

Near-infrared dual-response fluorescent probe for detection of N2H4 and intracellular viscosity changes in biological samples and various water samples

N2H4 is a common raw material used in the production of pesticides and has good water solubility, so it may contaminate water sources and eventually enter living organisms, causing serious health problems. Viscosity is an important indicator of the cellular microenvironment and an early warning signal for many diseases. The high reactivity of hydrazine depletes glutathione (GSH) in hepatocytes, causing oxidative stress ultimately leading to significant changes in intracellular viscosity and even death. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an effective method to detect N2H4 and viscosity in environmental and biological systems. On this basis, we developed two fluorescent probes, BDD and BHD, based on xanthene and 2-benzothiazole acetonitrile. The experimental results show that BHD and BDD have good imaging capabilities for N2H4 in cells, zebrafish and Arabidopsis. BHD and BDD also showed sensitive detection and fluorescence enhancement in the near-infrared region when the intracellular viscosity was changed. Notably, the probe BDD has also successfully imaged N2H4 in a variety of real water samples.

Emodin Blocks mPTP Opening and Improves LPS-Induced HMEC-1 Cell Injury by Upregulation of ATP5A1

BACKGROUND

Emodin has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects. Our study aimed to identify a novel anti-inflammatory mechanism of emodin.

METHODS

An LPS-induced model of microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC-1) injury was constructed. Cell proliferation was examined using a CCK-8 assay. The effects of emodin on reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell migration, the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) were evaluated. Actin-Tracker Green was used to examine the relationship between cell microfilament reconstruction and ATP5A1 expression. The effects of emodin on the expression of ATP5A1, NALP3, and TNF-α were determined. After treatment with emodin, ATP5A1 and inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-13 and IL-18) were examined by Western blotting.

RESULTS

Emodin significantly increased HMEC-1 cell proliferation and migration, inhibited the production of ROS, increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, and blocked the opening of the mPTP. Moreover, emodin could increase ATP5A1 expression, ameliorate cell microfilament remodeling, and decrease the expression of inflammatory factors. In addition, when ATP5A1 was overexpressed, the regulatory effect of emodin on inflammatory factors was not significant.

CONCLUSION

Our findings suggest that emodin can protect HMEC-1 cells against inflammatory injury. This process is modulated by the expression of ATP5A1.

[Research progress in the regulation of pathogenesis and the transformation of chronic liver disease by short-chain fatty acids]

Short-chain fatty acids are metabolites of the intestinal flora and serve as the main energy source for intestinal epithelial cells. At the same time, as important signaling molecules, it regulate a variety of cellular inflammatory responses and homeostatic proliferation through receptor-dependent and independent pathways. Short-chain fatty acids regulate the gut-liver axis and thereby directly act on the liver, participating in the pathogenesis and transformation of various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-related liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, liver fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, short-chain fatty acids can inhibit HBV DNA replication. This article reviews the research progress on the role of short-chain fatty acids in aspects of the pathogenesis and transformation of chronic liver diseases.

Surfactant-like Additives Assisted the Lateral Growth of Pentacene Films

Lateral growth of thin films is crucial for organic electronic devices, such as field-effect transistors. Here, we report a strategy to improve the lateral growth of pentacene films using rubrene as a surfactant-like additive. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images confirm the enhanced lateral growth with the presence of rubrene, resulting in smooth and enlarged molecule domains in the films in comparison to those without rubrene. Molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to explore the interlayer diffusion of pentacene molecules during the growth. With the rubrene molecules as surfactant-like additives, mean square displacement (MSD) analysis shows that the pentacene molecules have a descending diffusion coefficient of 2.0 × 10-5 cm2 s-1, which is greater than the ascending diffusion coefficient of 1.6 × 10-5 cm2 s-1. The more descending molecules lead to an enhanced lateral growth of pentacene films, which is in good agreement with the experiments. As a result, the pentacene films grown with rubrene exhibit a rapid increase in carrier mobility over thickness due to the well-connected domains resulting from enhanced lateral growth. This finding will provide a new strategy to modulate the morphology of organic films for high-performance devices.

Biallelic EPCAM deletions induce tissue-specific DNA repair deficiency and cancer predisposition

We report a case of Mismatch Repair Deficiency (MMRD) caused by germline homozygous EPCAM deletion leading to tissue-specific loss of MSH2. Through the use of patient-derived cells and organoid technologies, we performed stepwise in vitro differentiation of colonic and brain organoids from reprogrammed EPCAMdel iPSC derived from patient fibroblasts. Differentiation of iPSC to epithelial-colonic organoids exhibited continuous increased EPCAM expression and hypermethylation of the MSH2 promoter. This was associated with loss of MSH2 expression, increased mutational burden, MMRD signatures and MS-indel accumulation, the hallmarks of MMRD. In contrast, maturation into brain organoids and examination of blood and fibroblasts failed to show similar processes, preserving MMR proficiency. The combined use of iPSC, organoid technologies and functional genomics analyses highlights the potential of cutting-edge cellular and molecular analysis techniques to define processes controlling tumorigenesis and uncovers a new paradigm of tissue-specific MMRD, which affects the clinical management of these patients.

[Predictive value of whole brain perfusion on admission for shunt-dependent hydrocephalus fllowing aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage]

Objective: To explore the value of predicting shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (SDHC) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) based on whole brain CT perfusion(CTP) and clinical data within 24 hours at admission. Methods: The clinical and imaging data of aSAH patients who received interventional embolization in our hospital were retrospectively collected from March 2018 to August 2022. All patients underwent one-stop whole brain CT examination within 24 hours after symptom onset, and the qualitative and quantitative CTP parameters were obtained after post-processing. Follow-up was conducted once every 2 months by consulting electronic medical records or by telephone for 6 months. According to whether SDHC occurred or not, the patients were divided into SDHC group and non-SDHC group. The differences between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression model was used to analyze and determine the predictive factors of SDHC, and the SDHC predictive model was established. The effectiveness of the predictive model was evaluated by drawing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the subjects. Results: A total of 414 patients were included, including 132 males and 282 females, aged (59±11) years. 17.6%(73/414) patients had SDHC. There were significant differences in the occurrence of acute hydrocephalus, the World Neurosurgical League Scale (WFNS), the Hunt-Hess scale, the modified Fisher score (mFS), and the qualitative and quantitative parameters of CTP between the two groups (both P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that acute hydrocephalus (OR=8.621, 95%CI: 4.237-17.542),old age (OR=1.107, 95%CI: 1.068-1.148), high mFS and high Hunt-Hess classification (OR=3.740, 95%CI: 1.352-10.342) were the risk factors of SDHC in aSAH patients, and high mean cerebral blood flow (mCBF) (OR=0.931, 95%CI: 0.885-0.980) was a protective factor of SDHC.The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the prediction model constructed by these five variables was 0.923(95%CI: 0.89-0.95), with 84.5% sensitivity and 87.7% specificity. Conclusion: The mCBF and acute hydrocephalus, age, mFS and Hunt-Hess classification within 24 hours at admission can be used to predict SDHC for aSAH patients.

Occupational daily walking steps have inverse relationship with papillary thyroid cancer risk and progression: a retrospective analysis

OBJECTIVES

Investigate the impact of daily occupational walking steps on the progression of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), a topic hitherto underresearched.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The authors analyzed the data from 800 individuals with PTC across stages 0-IV. Participants were evenly divided into 2 distinct occupational groups: office workers and construction workers (N = 400 each). Data included comprehensive records of daily walking steps, demographic information, and clinical indicators. Pearson's correlation coefficients or analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed to assess the linkage between daily walking steps and PTC risk and stage, as well as associated biochemical markers.

RESULTS

The analysis revealed a significant inverse relationship between daily walking steps and PTC risk. A higher frequency of daily steps was associated with reduced chances of PTC onset and a lower diagnostic stage of the disease. This protective effect of physical activity was particularly pronounced in the construc- tion worker cohort. Subsequent evaluations showed that construction workers who consistently logged higher daily steps had markedly lower levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, thyroid peroxidase antibody, thyroglobulin antibody, and thy- roglobulin (Tg). Notably, daily walking steps exhibited a strong inverse correlation with body mass index (BMI), age, PTC volumes, and levels of TSH and Tg across both occupational groups (ρ < -0.37). The increase in daily steps was associated with the reduction in PTC stages (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The research underscores the potential benefits of increased daily walking steps, suggesting that they may play a protective role in reducing PTC risk and moderating its progression. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2024;37(1):58-71.

Synergistic bactericidal effect and mechanism of ultrasound combined with Lauroyl Arginate Ethyl against Salmonella Typhimurium and its application in the preservation of onions

In the present study, the synergistic bactericidal effect and mechanism of ultrasound (US) combined with Lauroyl Arginate Ethyl (LAE) against Salmonella Typhimurium were investigated. On this basis, the effect of US+LAE treatment on the washing of S. Typhimurium on the surface of onions and on the physical and chemical properties of onion during fresh-cutting and storage were studied. The results showed that treatment with US+LAE could significantly (P < 0.05) reduce the number of S. Typhimurium compared to US and LAE treatments alone, especially the treatment of US+LAE (230 W/cm2, 8 min, 71 μM) reduced S. Typhimurium by 8.82 log CFU/mL. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry (FCM), protein and nucleic acid release and N-phenyl-l-naphthylamine (NPN) assays demonstrated that US+LAE disrupted the integrity and permeability of S. Typhimurium cell membranes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) assays indicated that US+LAE exacerbated oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in cell membranes. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) demonstrated that US+LAE treatment caused loss of cellular contents and led to cell crumpling and even lost the original cell morphology. US+LAE treatment caused a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the number of S. Typhimurium on onions, but there was no significant (P > 0.05) effect on the color, hardness, weight and ascorbic acid content of onions. This study elucidated the synergistic antibacterial mechanism of US+LAE and verified the feasibility of bactericidal effect on the surface of onions, providing a theoretical basis for improving the safety of fresh produce in the food industry and to propose a new way to achieve the desired results.

[Advances in the technology of surgical treatment for atlantoaxial dislocation]

The etiology and pathological morphology of atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) are complex. Based on the pathological anatomical characteristics of AAD, combined with clinical techniques, it is essential to formulate reasonable classification criteria and develop corresponding treatment strategies for different types of AAD. The satisfactory outcome of surgical treatment for AAD can only be achieved through the comprehensive application of various atlantoaxial reduction techniques, tension band releasing techniques, internal fixation and fusion techniques. This article discusses the latest advancements in surgical treatment techniques for AAD, thoroughly explores treatment strategies based on different types of AAD, and analyzes the practicality and effectiveness of clinical classification and treatment strategies. The posterior atlantoaxial facet releasing and distraction compression reduction technique may pose challenges to traditional treatment strategies in the future. In the development of surgical treatment techniques for AAD, microspinal surgical techniques may play a significant role in improving surgical methods and enhancing treatment outcomes.

Prognostic implications of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer receiving chemoimmunotherapy: A multicenter, real-world study

BACKGROUND

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are closely related to the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, but their effect on extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) remains uncertain.

METHODS

This retrospective study was conducted in ES-SCLC patients treated with first-line atezolizumab or durvalumab and platinum-etoposide. Clinical data from three hospitals were analyzed. Significant risk factors for survival were identified using descriptive statistics and Cox regression. Homogeneity was assessed using t-tests or nonparametric tests. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed an association between high NLR level and median PFS and OS.

RESULTS

A total of 300 ES-SCLC patients were included in the study. Cox regression analysis revealed that an elevated NLR level after the second treatment cycle (defined as NLRT2) was an independent prognostic factor for survival. Stratifying patients based on median NLRT2 showed significant differences in both PFS (HR: 1.863, 95% CI: 1.62-2.12, p < 0.001) and OS (HR: 2.581, 95% CI: 2.19-3.04, p < 0.001) between NLR ≥ 1.75 and NLR < 1.75 groups. mPFS and mOS were 8.2 versus 6.1 months and 13.7 versus 9.5 months, respectively. NLR was also associated with treatment efficacy and occurrence of irAEs. Further stratification based on NLR and irAEs showed that in the NLR < 1.75 group, patients with irAEs had prolonged mPFS and mOS. In the NLR ≥ 1.75 group, only mPFS showed a significant difference between patients with and without irAEs.

CONCLUSION

NLRT2 and irAEs can predict the prognosis of ES-SCLC patients with first-line ES-SCLC receiving PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy.

Characterization of reproductive hormones and related gene expression in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the egg-laying interval in White King pigeon

The egg-laying interval (LI) directly reflects the laying performance of breeding pigeons, influenced by reproductive hormones. This study aimed to assess reproductive hormone levels in serum and the expression of related genes and their receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in 4 stages: first (LI1), third (LI3), fifth (LI5), and seventh (LI7) days. The results showed that serum gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) level decreased from LI1 to LI7 (P < 0.01) and peaked in LI1. The serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels stayed at high levels from LI1 to LI5. The FSH level decreased slightly from LI5 to LI7 (P > 0.05), but the LH level decreased rapidly (P < 0.01). The prolactin (PRL) levels significantly increased in LI5 (P < 0.01) compared with LI1 and then stayed at a high level. The GnRH1 expression in the hypothalamus had no significant change in LI (P > 0.05). However, the GnRHR first decreased from LI1 to LI3 (P < 0.05) and then increased. The FSH mRNA level in the pituitary gland decreased from LI1 to LI3 and slightly increased in LI5 (P > 0.05). The change pattern of FSHR was similar to that of FSH and peaked in LI5 (P < 0.05). The LH expression level was the highest in LI5 and significantly higher than that in LI3 and LI7 (P < 0.05). However, the LHR mRNA level decreased in LI (P < 0.05). The expression patterns of PRL and PRLR were similar; they were upregulated in LI and peaked in LI7 (P < 0.01). The expression pattern of GnRHR was similar to that of FSH, LH, and FSHR, suggesting the critical role of GnRHR in LI. Furthermore, the expression levels of these genes peaked in LI5, closely correlating with the maturation of the first largest follicle in pigeons. PRL-PRLR signaling inhibited GnRH activity to promote ovulation. This study provided a basis for further investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of reproduction in pigeons.

Observation of Cabibbo-Suppressed Two-Body Hadronic Decays and Precision Mass Measurement of the Ω_{c}^{0} Baryon

The first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}K^{+} and Ω_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} decays is reported, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4  fb^{-1}, collected with the LHCb detector between 2016 and 2018. The branching fraction ratios are measured to be B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}K^{+})/B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+})=[6.08±0.51(stat)±0.40(syst)]%,B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+})/B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+})=[15.81±0.87(stat)±0.44(syst)±0.16(ext)]%. In addition, using the Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+} decay channel, the Ω_{c}^{0} baryon mass is measured to be M(Ω_{c}^{0})=2695.28±0.07(stat)±0.27(syst)±0.30(ext)  MeV, improving the precision of the previous world average by a factor of 4.

Enhanced Production of Λ_{b}^{0} Baryons in High-Multiplicity pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

The production rate of Λ_{b}^{0} baryons relative to B^{0} mesons in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[s]=13  TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment. The ratio of Λ_{b}^{0} to B^{0} production cross sections shows a significant dependence on both the transverse momentum and the measured charged-particle multiplicity. At low multiplicity, the ratio measured at LHCb is consistent with the value measured in e^{+}e^{-} collisions, and increases by a factor of ∼2 with increasing multiplicity. At relatively low transverse momentum, the ratio of Λ_{b}^{0} to B^{0} cross sections is higher than what is measured in e^{+}e^{-} collisions, but converges with the e^{+}e^{-} ratio as the momentum increases. These results imply that the evolution of heavy b quarks into final-state hadrons is influenced by the density of the hadronic environment produced in the collision. Comparisons with several models and implications for the mechanisms enforcing quark confinement are discussed.

Improved Measurement of CP Violation Parameters in B_{s}^{0}→J/ψK^{+}K^{-} Decays in the Vicinity of the ϕ(1020) Resonance

The decay-time-dependent CP asymmetry in B_{s}^{0}→J/ψ(→μ^{+}μ^{-})K^{+}K^{-} decays is measured using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6  fb^{-1}, collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Using a sample of approximately 349 000 B_{s}^{0} signal decays with an invariant K^{+}K^{-} mass in the vicinity of the ϕ(1020) resonance, the CP-violating phase ϕ_{s} is measured, along with the difference in decay widths of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B_{s}^{0}-B[over ¯]_{s}^{0} system, ΔΓ_{s}, and the difference of the average B_{s}^{0} and B^{0} meson decay widths, Γ_{s}-Γ_{d}. The values obtained are ϕ_{s}=-0.039±0.022±0.006  rad, ΔΓ_{s}=0.0845±0.0044±0.0024  ps^{-1}, and Γ_{s}-Γ_{d}=-0.0056_{-0.0015}^{+0.0013}±0.0014  ps^{-1}, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. These are the most precise single measurements to date and are consistent with expectations based on the Standard Model and with the previous LHCb analyses of this decay. These results are combined with previous independent LHCb measurements. The phase ϕ_{s} is also measured independently for each polarization state of the K^{+}K^{-} system and shows no evidence for polarization dependence.

Interaction between handgrip strength and vitamin D deficiency on all-cause mortality in community-dwelling older adults: a prospective cohort study

OBJECTIVE

Muscle strength decline and vitamin D deficiency are coexisting conditions associated with multiple adverse health outcomes. This prospective study aimed to investigate the multiplicative and additive interactions between handgrip strength (HS) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] on all-cause mortality in Chinese community-dwelling older adults.

STUDY DESIGN

This is a population-based cohort study.

METHODS

2635 older adults (85.15 ± 12.01 years) were recruited from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2012-2018). Low HS was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 updated consensus (<28 kg for men and <18 kg for women). Serum 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L were defined as vitamin D deficiency. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association of HS and 25(OH)D with all-cause mortality. Socio-demographics, health status, and clinical characteristics were included as covariates.

RESULTS

1715 (65.09 %) and 1885 (71.54 %) participants had low HS and vitamin D deficiency, respectively. During a median follow-up of 3.52 years, 1107 older people died. After multivariable adjustment, both HS and 25(OH)D levels were inversely associated with all-cause mortality risk (Ps < 0.001). The hazard ratios (HRs) of low HS and vitamin D deficiency for all-cause mortality were 1.73 (95 % CI: 1.41-2.13) and 1.61 (95 % CI: 1.32-1.93), respectively. Although significant multiplicative interactions were not found, the association between low HS and all-cause mortality was attenuated in the higher 25(OH)D subgroup than in the lower 25(OH)D subgroup (stratified by 50 nmol/L). The multiple-adjusted HR of mortality for combined low HS and vitamin D deficiency was 2.18 (95 % CI: 1.73-2.56), which was higher than that for these two conditions alone. Significant additive interactions between low HS and vitamin D deficiency on mortality were observed (relative excess risk due to interaction: 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.37-1.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Low HS and low 25(OH)D levels synergistically increased the risk of all-cause mortality. Our results added new insights to the priority of early detection for older adults with comorbid muscle strength decline and vitamin D deficiency.

Intestinal Translocation of Live Porphyromonas gingivalis Drives Insulin Resistance

Periodontitis has been emphasized as a risk factor of insulin resistance-related systemic diseases. Accumulating evidence has suggested a possible "oral-gut axis" linking oral infection and extraoral diseases, but it remains unclear whether periodontal pathogens can survive the barriers of the digestive tract and how they play their pathogenic roles. The present study established a periodontitis mouse model through oral ligature plus Porphyromonas gingivalis inoculation and demonstrated that periodontitis aggravated diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance, while also causing P. gingivalis enrichment in the intestine. Metabolic labeling strategy validated that P. gingivalis could translocate to the gastrointestinal tract in a viable state. Oral administration of living P. gingivalis elicited insulin resistance, while administration of pasteurized P. gingivalis had no such effect. Combination analysis of metagenome sequencing and nontargeted metabolomics suggested that the tryptophan metabolism pathway, specifically indole and its derivatives, was involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance caused by oral administration of living P. gingivalis. Moreover, liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands, mainly indole acetic acid, tryptamine, and indole-3-aldehyde, were reduced in diet-induced obese mice with periodontitis, leading to inactivation of AhR signaling. Supplementation with Ficz (6-formylindolo (3,2-b) carbazole), an AhR agonist, alleviated periodontitis-associated insulin resistance, in which the restoration of gut barrier function might play an important role. Collectively, these findings reveal that the oral-gut translocation of viable P. gingivalis works as a fuel linking periodontitis and insulin resistance, in which reduction of AhR ligands and inactivation of AhR signaling are involved. This study provides novel insight into the role of the oral-gut axis in the pathogenesis of periodontitis-associated comorbidities.

Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons in Electron-Positron and Neutral-Pion Final States with the MicroBooNE Detector

We present the first search for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) decaying into νe^{+}e^{-} or νπ^{0} final states in a liquid-argon time projection chamber using data collected with the MicroBooNE detector. The data were recorded synchronously with the NuMI neutrino beam from Fermilab's main injector corresponding to a total exposure of 7.01×10^{20} protons on target. We set upper limits at the 90% confidence level on the mixing parameter |U_{μ4}|^{2} in the mass ranges 10≤m_{HNL}≤150  MeV for the νe^{+}e^{-} channel and 150≤m_{HNL}≤245  MeV for the νπ^{0} channel, assuming |U_{e4}|^{2}=|U_{τ4}|^{2}=0. These limits represent the most stringent constraints in the mass range 35 Collapse

Aminothiolation of alkenes with azoles and Bunte salts

We have developed an intermolecular aminothiolation of simple olefins using Bunte salt as a thiolating agent. This protocol produces thiyl free radicals under PIDA oxidation conditions, eliminating the need for transition-metal catalysts. The method has a wide range of substrate applicability and is suitable for large-scale preparation and late-stage modification of drug molecules.

[Effects of immune responses mediated by topological structures of three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds on hair follicle cycle in mice]

Objective: To explore the effects of the immune responses mediated by topological structures of three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds on hair follicle cycle in mice. Methods: The study was an experimental research. The alginate-gelatin composite hydrogels were printed into scaffolds using a three-dimensional bioprinter and named T45 scaffolds, T60 scaffolds, and T90 scaffolds according to the 3 topological structures of the scaffolds (the rotation angles of the printhead during printing were 45°, 60°, and 90°, respectively), and the morphology of the three scaffolds was observed after cross-linking by naked eyes. Nine 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were divided into T45 group, T60 group, and T90 group, according to the random number table, with three mice in each group, and the T45, T60, and T90 scaffolds were subcutaneously implanted on the back of mice, respectively. On post implantation day (PID) 7, the hair growth in the dorsal depilated area of mice was observed, the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expression levels of CD68, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds were observed by immunofluorescence staining. The samples of the above experiments were all 3. Results: The topological structures of the three scaffolds were all clear with high fidelity after cross-linking. On PID 7, the hair growth was obvious in the dorsal depilated area of mice in T45 group and T90 group, while hair growth was slow in the scaffold implantation area of mice in T60 group, which was significantly different from that of the unimplanted area. On PID 7, compared with (18±4) μm in T90 group, the thickness of both the fiber capsule around the scaffolds ((39±4) and (55±8) μm) of mice in T45 group and T60 group was significantly increased (P<0.05); the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was also significantly increased compared with that in T45 group (P<0.05). On PID 7, the expression level of CD68 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). The expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05), and the expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T45 group was significantly higher than that in T90 group (P<0.05). The expression level of TNF protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly lower than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). Conclusions: Three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds with different topological structures mediate different degrees of immune responses after being implanted in mice. A moderate immune response promotes hair growth in depilated area of mice, while an excessive immune response results inhibits the hair follicle entering into the anagen phase.

[Clinical significance and research progress of quantitative hepatitis B virus core antibody measurement]

Hepatitis B virus core antibodies are specific antibodies produced after viral infection that appear early and last for a long time, and its levels in serum are measured by the double-antigen sandwich chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay method, which has higher sensitivity and specificity, providing new clinical indicators for hepatitis B patients diagnosis, treatment, and drug withdrawal management. This article reviews the clinical significance and research progress of quantitative hepatitis B core antibody measurement and expounds on its research applications and prospects in clinical practice.

Measurement of CP Violation in B^{0}→ψ(→ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-})K_{S}^{0}(→π^{+}π^{-}) Decays

A measurement of time-dependent CP violation in the decays of B^{0} and B[over ¯]^{0} mesons to the final states J/ψ(→μ^{+}μ^{-})K_{S}^{0}, ψ(2S)(→μ^{+}μ^{-})K_{S}^{0} and J/ψ(→e^{+}e^{-})K_{S}^{0} with K_{S}^{0}→π^{+}π^{-} is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 6  fb^{-1} collected at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV with the LHCb detector. The CP-violation parameters are measured to be S_{ψK_{S}^{0}}=0.717±0.013(stat)±0.008(syst) and C_{ψK_{S}^{0}}=0.008±0.012(stat)±0.003(syst). This measurement of S_{ψK_{S}^{0}} represents the most precise single measurement of the CKM angle β to date and is more precise than the current world average. In addition, measurements of the CP-violation parameters of the individual channels are reported and a combination with the LHCb Run 1 measurements is performed.

[Construction of a risk prediction model for diabetes after kidney transplantation based on genome-wide association study]

Objective: To explore the clinical risk factors and susceptibility genes of diabetes after kidney transplantation (PTDM) and construct a risk prediction model for PTDM. Methods: The data of kidney transplant recipients who underwent follow-up in the Affiliated Lihuili Hospital, Ningbo University and Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2001 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The recipients were divided into PTDM group and Non-PTDM group according to whether they were complicated with PTDM. The differences in clinical indicators between the two groups were compared, the risk factors affecting the incidence of PTDM were determined, and susceptibility genes of PTDM were screened by genome-wide association study (GWAS). PTDM risk prediction models based only on clinical indicators (Model 1) and clinical indicators combined with susceptibility genes (Model 2) were established respectively, and the predictive performance of the two prediction models was compared. Finally, the Nomogram of the optimal model was drawn, and the discrimination, calibration and clinical applicability of the model were evaluated. Results: A total of 113 kidney transplant recipients (70 males and 43 females) were included, with an average age of (46.2±10.8) years. There were 51 cases in PTDM group and 62 cases in Non-PTDM group. The related factors screened by GWAS and logistic regression analysis included family history of diabetes (OR=88.912, 95%CI: 5.827-1 356.601, P=0.001), preoperative triglyceride (TG) (OR=1.888, 95 %CI: 1.150-3.098, P=0.012), uric acid (UA) (OR=1.011, 95%CI: 1.000-1.022, P=0.045) and rs802707 (OR=10.046, 95%CI: 1.462-69.042, P=0.019). The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics analysis (ROC) predicted by Model 1 for PTDM was 0.891 (95%CI: 0.811-0.972), with the sensitivity of 0.889 and the specificity of 0.742. The AUC of ROC curve predicted by Model 2 for PTDM was 0.930 (95%CI: 0.864-0.995), with the sensitivity of 0.885 and the specificity of 0.900. Conclusions: Family history of diabetes, preoperative TG and UA, and rs802707 are significantly associated with the occurrence of PTDM. In addition, the combination of susceptibility genes could improve the predictive ability of clinical indicators for the risk of PTDM.

Realization of a crosstalk-avoided quantum network node using dual-type qubits of the same ion species

Generating ion-photon entanglement is a crucial step for scalable trapped-ion quantum networks. To avoid the crosstalk on memory qubits carrying quantum information, it is common to use a different ion species for ion-photon entanglement generation such that the scattered photons are far off-resonant for the memory qubits. However, such a dual-species scheme can be subject to inefficient sympathetic cooling due to the mass mismatch of the ions. Here we demonstrate a trapped-ion quantum network node in the dual-type qubit scheme where two types of qubits are encoded in the S and F hyperfine structure levels of 171Yb+ ions. We generate ion photon entanglement for the S-qubit in a typical timescale of hundreds of milliseconds, and verify its small crosstalk on a nearby F-qubit with coherence time above seconds. Our work demonstrates an enabling function of the dual-type qubit scheme for scalable quantum networks.

Ang1/Tie2/VE-Cadherin Signaling Regulates DPSCs in Vascular Maturation

Adding dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) to vascular endothelial cell-formed vessel-like structures can increase the longevity of these vessel networks. DPSCs display pericyte-like cell functions and closely assemble endothelial cells (ECs). However, the mechanisms of DPSC-derived pericyte-like cells in stabilizing the vessel networks are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the functions of E-DPSCs, which were DPSCs isolated from the direct coculture of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and DPSCs, and T-DPSCs, which were DPSCs treated by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), in stabilizing blood vessels in vitro and in vivo. A 3-dimensional coculture spheroid sprouting assay was conducted to compare the functions of E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs in vitro. Dental pulp angiogenesis in the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse model was used to explore the roles of E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs in vascularization in vivo. The results demonstrated that both E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs possess smooth muscle cell-like cell properties, exhibiting higher expression of the mural cell-specific markers and the suppression of HUVEC sprouting. E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs inhibited HUVEC sprouting by activating TEK tyrosine kinase (Tie2) signaling, upregulating vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, and downregulating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). In vivo study revealed more perfused and total blood vessels in the HUVEC + E-DPSC group, HUVEC + T-DPSC group, angiopoietin 1 (Ang1) pretreated group, and vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP) inhibitor pretreated group, compared to HUVEC + DPSC group. In conclusion, these data indicated that E-DPSCs and T-DPSCs could stabilize the newly formed blood vessels and accelerate their perfusion. The critical regulating pathways are Ang1/Tie2/VE-cadherin and VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling.

Engineering pH responsive carboxyethyl chitosan and oxidized pectin -based hydrogels with self-healing, biodegradable and antibacterial properties for wound healing

As an important organ of the human body, effective protection of the skin during trauma is crucial. An ideal wound dressing should have adhesion, adsorption of wound secretions, and good antibacterial properties. Two kinds of natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels, carboxyethyl chitosan/oxidized pectin hydrogel (CEC/OP) and carboxyethyl chitosan/oxidized pectin/polyethyleneimine hydrogel (CEC/OP/PEI), were reported by using carboxyethyl chitosan as the matrix, and oxidized pectin and branched polyethyleneimine as the crosslinking agents. Both hydrogels could be formed in a short time and exhibited the pH responsively due to the presence of imine bond. Compared with carboxyethyl chitosan/oxidized pectin hydrogel, polyethyleneimine containing hydrogel can form gel quickly, a more compact and stable three-dimensional space network structure was formed, which exhibited better swelling performance, the swelling ration, rheology property, self-repair ability, and antibacterial performance. When the mass fractions of carboxyethyl chitosan and oxidized pectin solutions are 4 wt% and 9 wt%, respectively, the hydrogel exhibited an antibacterial efficiency of >96 % against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. After adding 0.75 wt% polyethyleneimine, the antibacterial efficiency of hydrogel could reach up to >98 %. More importantly, the polyethyleneimine containing hydrogel has a significant effect in the treatment of bacterially infected wounds.

[Application value of questionnaires in the screening obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in pregnancy across trimesters]

Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility value of questionnaires of Berlin, STOP, STOP-Bang (SBQ), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in screening obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in pregnant women of different trimesters. Methods: Consecutive pregnant women at high risk for OSAS were enrolled from January, 2021 to April, 2022 at the obstetric clinic of Peking University People's Hospital. They completed questionnaires of Berlin, STOP, SBQ, ESS and also underwent an overnight polysomnography (PSG). To evaluate the accuracy of questionnaires of Berlin, STOP, SBQ, ESS, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, negative predictive values and the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve of these questionnaires in pregnancy across trimesters (Pregnancy 1-15 weeks was the first stage, pregnancy 16-27 weeks was the second stage, and pregnancy 28-40 weeks was the third stage) were calculated. Results: A total of 100 pregnant women [(34.5±4.3) years old (26-46 years old)] were included in this study, including 20, 35 and 45 pregnant women in the first, second and third trimester of pregnancy, respectively. Based on PSG results, 45 (45%) of 100 pregnant women were diagnosed with OSAS. The overall predictive values of the four questionnaires were not good, area under[AUC(95%CI)] the ROC curve ESS, Berlin questionnaire STOP and SBQ were 0.54(0.43, 0.66), 0.59 (0.47, 0.70), 0.62(0.51, 0.73) and 0.61 (0.49, 0.72), respectively, sensitivity was 35.6%, 65.9%, 48.9%, 28.9%, specificity was 71.7%, 52.5%, 73.6%, 92.5%. When categorized according to trimesters, the predicted values of the four questionnaires increased in the first trimester, the AUC (95%CI) of STOP questionnaire was 0.81 (0.61, 1.00), sensitivity was 75.0%, specificity was 87.5%. Conclusion: The overall predictive power of the four screening questionnaires is limited in pregnant women. But predictive value of STOP questionnaire is acceptable in the first trimester.

Myosin 1e deficiency affects migration of 4T1 breast cancer cells

Metastasis of breast cancer cells to distant tissue sites is responsible for the majority of deaths associated with breast cancer. Previously we have examined the role of class I myosin motor protein, myosin 1e (myo1e), in cancer metastasis using the Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus-Polyoma Middle T Antigen (MMTV-PyMT) mouse model. Mice deficient in myo1e formed tumors with a more differentiated phenotype relative to the wild-type mice and formed no detectable lung metastases. In the current study, we investigated how the absence of myo1e affects cell migration and invasion in vitro, using the highly invasive and migratory breast cancer cell line, 4T1. 4T1 cells deficient in myo1e exhibited an altered morphology and slower rates of migration in the wound-healing and transwell migration assays compared to the WT 4T1 cells. While integrin trafficking and Golgi reorientation did not appear to be altered upon myo1e loss, we observed lower rates of focal adhesion disassembly in myo1e-deficient cells, which could help explain the cell migration defect.

Radiomic features of the hippocampal based on magnetic resonance imaging in the menopausal mouse model linked to neuronal damage and cognitive deficits

Estrogen deficiency in the early postmenopausal phase is associated with an increased long-term risk of cognitive decline or dementia. Non-invasive characterization of the pathological features of the pathological hallmarks in the brain associated with postmenopausal women (PMW) could enhance patient management and the development of therapeutic strategies. Radiomics is a means to quantify the radiographic phenotype of a diseased tissue via the high-throughput extraction and mining of quantitative features from images acquired from modalities such as CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study set out to explore the correlation between radiomics features based on MRI and pathological features of the hippocampus and cognitive function in the PMW mouse model. Ovariectomized (OVX) mice were used as PWM models. MRI scans were performed two months after surgery. The brain's hippocampal region was manually annotated, and the radiomic features were extracted with PyRadiomics. Chemiluminescence was used to evaluate the peripheral blood estrogen level of mice, and the Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive ability of mice. Nissl staining and immunofluorescence were used to quantify neuronal damage and COX1 expression in brain sections of mice. The OVX mice exhibited marked cognitive decline, brain neuronal damage, and increased expression of mitochondrial complex IV subunit COX1, which are pathological phenomena commonly observed in the brains of AD patients, and these phenotypes were significantly correlated with radiomics features (p < 0.05, |r|>0.5), including Original_firstorder_Interquartile Range, Original_glcm_Difference Average, Original_glcm_Difference Average and Wavelet-LHH_glszm_Small Area Emphasis. Meanwhile, the above radiomics features were significantly different between the sham-operated and OVX groups (p < 0.01) and were associated with decreased serum estrogen levels (p < 0.05, |r|>0.5). This initial study indicates that the above radiomics features may have a role in the assessment of the pathology of brain damage caused by estrogen deficiency using routinely acquired structural MR images.

Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy for resectable NSCLC: subpopulation analysis of Chinese patients in CheckMate 816

BACKGROUND

Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy significantly improved event-free survival (EFS) and pathologic complete response (pCR) versus chemotherapy alone in patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the global phase III CheckMate 816 study. Here, we report post hoc exploratory efficacy, safety, and surgical outcomes in the Chinese subpopulation of this study.

METHODS

Adults with stage IB-IIIA resectable NSCLC were randomized to receive nivolumab 360 mg plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone every 3 weeks for three cycles followed by surgery. Primary endpoints included EFS and pCR (both per blinded independent review). EFS and pCR results were from 14 October 2022, and 16 September 2020, database locks, respectively.

RESULTS

The Chinese subpopulation comprised 97 patients (nivolumab plus chemotherapy, 44; chemotherapy, 53). At 38.2 months of minimum follow-up, median EFS was not reached [95% confidence interval (CI) 23.4 months-not reached] in the nivolumab plus chemotherapy arm and 13.9 months (95% CI 8.3-34.3 months) in the chemotherapy arm (hazard ratio 0.47, 95% CI 0.25-0.88). pCR rates were 25.0% (95% CI 13.2% to 40.3%) and 1.9% (95% CI 0.0% to 10.1%), respectively (odds ratio 11.05; 95% CI 1.41-86.49). Of 97 Chinese patients, 36 (82%) in the nivolumab plus chemotherapy arm and 41 (77%) in the chemotherapy arm underwent definitive surgery. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 18/43 patients (42%) treated with nivolumab plus chemotherapy and 22/53 patients (42%) treated with chemotherapy.

CONCLUSIONS

Consistent with findings in the global study population of CheckMate 816, neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy improved EFS and pCR versus chemotherapy in the Chinese subpopulation without impacting treatment tolerability or the feasibility of surgery. These findings support the use of nivolumab plus chemotherapy as a standard neoadjuvant treatment option for Chinese patients with resectable NSCLC.

The Relationship between Choroidal Thickness and Liver Damage in Simple Auto-immune Hepatitis Patients

BACKGROUND

There was no sufficient clinical evidence on the relationship between auto-immune hepatitis (AIH) and risk of eye illness, except 11 uveitis cases where related AIH is reported currently.

AIM

To determine the relationship between choroidal thickness (ChT) and liver damage in simple AIH patients without ocular symptoms after oral prednisone treatment.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

This prospective observational study included simple AIH patients. The patients' ChT was measured by swept-source (SS)-optical coherence tomography (OCT), and the liver damage was evaluated by alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). ChT and liver functions were assessed prior to and after treatment. Then comparisons were made prior to and post treatment. The relationships between biochemical indexes of liver injury and ChT were evaluated after a mean (SD) of 24 (1.28) weeks of regular oral prednisone.

RESULTS

A total of 35 patients (31 females, aged 45.66 ± 11.62 years) were included. After treatment, ChT was significantly increased in all sectors (including the center sector, superior inner sector, inner nasal sector, inferior inner sector, inner temporal sector, superior outer sector, outer nasal sector, inferior outer sector, and outer temporal sector) (all P < 0.001). After treatment, both ALT (51.34 ± 44.16 vs 255.06 ± 107.84, P < 0.001) and AST (38.66 ± 27.12 vs 164.89 ± 85.58, P < 0.001) were significantly decreased. The increase of ChT in all sectors was significantly related to the decrease of ALT and AST (all P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

The improvement of ChT might reflect the remission of liver damage in simple AIH patients without ocular symptoms during oral prednisone treatment.

Serum metabolomics identifies uric acid as a possible novel biomarker for predicting recurrence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

BACKGROUND

Metabolomics has proven to be a valuable tool in gaining new insights into disease progression and prognosis, the specific metabolic alterations in the serum of recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients remain unknown. This study aims to explore the serum metabolomic profiles of recurrent CRSwNP and identify potential predictive biomarkers.

METHODS

A prospective, single-center study was conducted on CRSwNP patients prior to endoscopic sinus surgery. Serum samples were subjected to untargeted metabolomic profiling. Patients were followed up for over 2 years and categorized into recurrence and non-recurrence groups. Metabolite differences between the two groups were compared, and the identified differentially regulated metabolites were subsequently validated in a large clinical cohort.

RESULTS

67 CRSwNP patients completed the follow-up schedule, with 47 classified into the non-recurrent group and 20 into the recurrent group. Significant differences were found in the metabolomic profiles between both groups, and serum uric acid (SUA) showed promising predictive potential for postoperative recurrence in both positive and negative ion models. A validation cohort comprising 398 non-recurrent and 142 recurrent CRSwNP patients was recruited, and a significant elevation in SUA levels was observed in recurrent cases. Patients were stratified into tertiles based on the distribution of baseline SUA levels. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that higher tertiles of SUA were associated with an increased risk of CRSwNP recurrence compared to lower tertiles, even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis highlighted that elevated SUA levels exhibited potential predictive values for postoperative recurrence.

CONCLUSION

Serum metabolic signatures might predict postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP patients. Increased SUA concentrations were found to be associated with a higher risk of future postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP, independent of traditional risk factors.

To investigate the HIV-1 genotype and distribution of newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases in Fujian Province in 2020, so as to provide insights into formulation of the precise AIDS control strategy in the province.

METHODS

Newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases without antiretroviral therapy (excluding AIDS patients) were randomly sampled from each city of Fujian Province in 2020 at a proportion of 50% of the mean number of HIV-infected cases reported across 9 cities of Fujian Province during the past three years. Subjects' demographic and epidemiological data were collected and blood samples were collected. The HIV-1 pol gene was amplified using nested reverse-transcription PCR assay, and the gene sequences were used for HIV-1 genotyping and phylogenetic analysis. The gene sequences were uploaded to the HIV Drug Resistance Database (http://hivdb.stanford.edu) for genotypic drug resistance assays, and the scores and level of HIV drug resistance were estimated using the HIVDB Algorithm version 9.5.

RESULTS

A total of 1 043 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases were reported in Fujian Province in 2020, and 936 gene sequences were successfully obtained following sequencing of blood samples. There were 9 HIV-1 genotypes characterized in blood samples from 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with CRF07_BC (52.1%) and CRF01_AE (30.4%) as predominant subtypes, followed by CRF08_BC (4.9%), CRF55_01B (3.0%), subtype C (2.5%), subtype B (2.1%), CRF85_BC (1.7%), CRF59_01B (0.3%) and CRF65_CPX (0.1%), and unidentified subtypes were found in 26 blood samples. HIV-1 drug resistance was detected in 43 out of the 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with 4.6% prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance prior to therapy, and the highest drug resistance was found in the HIV CRF59_01B subtype, followed by in CRF08_BC, B, C, CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and other subtypes, with a significant difference in the genotype-specific prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance (χ2 = 45.002, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

There was a HIV-1 genotype diversity in Fujian Province in 2020, and emerging recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains were detected and spread across patients and regions. Monitoring of HIV-1 genotypes is recommended to be reinforced for timely understanding of the transmission and spread of novel recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains.

Primary human thyrocytes maintained the function of thyroid hormone production and secretion in vitro

PURPOSE

Thyroid cell lines are useful tools to study the physiology and pathology of the thyroid, however, they do not produce or secrete hormones in vitro. On the other hand, the detection of endogenous thyroid hormones in primary thyrocytes was often hindered by the dedifferentiation of thyrocytes ex vivo and the presence of large amounts of exogenous hormones in the culture medium. This study aimed to create a culture system that could maintain the function of thyrocytes to produce and secrete thyroid hormones in vitro.

METHODS

We established a Transwell culture system of primary human thyrocytes. Thyrocytes were seeded on a porous membrane in the inner chamber of the Transwell with top and bottom surfaces exposed to different culture components, mimicking the 'lumen-capillary' structure of the thyroid follicle. Moreover, to eliminate exogenous thyroid hormones from the culture medium, two alternatives were tried: a culture recipe using hormone-reduced serum and a serum-free culture recipe.

RESULTS

The results showed that primary human thyrocytes expressed thyroid-specific genes at higher levels in the Transwell system than in the monolayer culture. Hormones were detected in the Transwell system even in the absence of serum. The age of the donor was negatively related to the hormone production of thyrocytes in vitro. Intriguingly, primary human thyrocytes cultured without serum secreted higher levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3) than free thyroxine (FT4).

CONCLUSION

This study confirmed that primary human thyrocytes could maintain the function of hormone production and secretion in the Transwell system, thus providing a useful tool to study thyroid function in vitro.

Identification and adaptive evolution analysis of glutaredoxin genes in Populus spp

Glutaredoxin (GRX) is a class of small redox proteins widely involved in cellular redox homeostasis and the regulation of various cellular processes. The role of GRX gene in the differentiation of Populus spp. is rarely reported. We compared the similarities and differences of GRX genes among four sections of poplar using bioinformatics, corrected the annotations of some GRX genes, and focused on analysing their transcript profiling and adaptive evolution in Populus spp. A total of 219 GRX genes were identified in four sections of poplar, among which annotations for 13 genes were corrected. Differences in GRX genes were found between sect. Turanga, represented by P. euphratica, and other poplar sections. Most notably, P. euphratica had the smallest number of duplication events for GRX genes (n = 9) and no tandem duplications, whereas there were >25 duplication events for all other poplars. Furthermore, we detected 18 pairs of GRX genes under positive selection pressure in various sections of poplar, and identified two groups of GRX genes in the Salicaceae that potentially underwent positive selection. Expression profiling results showed that the PtrGRX34 and its orthologous genes were upregulated under stress treatments. In summary, the GRX gene family underwent expansion during poplar differentiation, and some genes underwent rapid evolution during this process, which may be beneficial for Populus spp. to adapt to environmental changes. This study may provide more insights into the molecular mechanisms of Populus spp. adaptation to environmental changes and the adaptive evolution of GRX genes.

Penpulimab combined with anlotinib in patients with R/M HNSCC after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy: a single-arm, multicenter, phase Ⅱ study

BACKGROUND

Treatment regimens for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy have been illustrated with limited efficacy.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Here, we report a single-arm, multicenter, phase Ⅱ study of R/M HNSCC patients treated with a programmed cell death-1 antibody penpulimab (200 mg) and anlotinib (12 mg) after failing at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy.

RESULTS

Of 38 patients in total, 13 (34.21%) patients achieved partial response and 16 (42.11%) patients achieved stable disease. After a median follow-up of 7.06 months (range: 4.14-15.70 months), the independent review committee-assessed objective response rate was 34.21%, the disease control rate was 76.32%. The median progression-free survival was 8.35 months (95% confidence interval 5.95-13.11 months). Twelve patients died and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The 12-month OS rate was 59.76%. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 47.37% of the patients.

CONCLUSION

Penpulimab combined with anlotinib demonstrated promising efficacy and manageable safety in R/M HNSCC patients after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy.

Multi-classification model incorporating radiomics and clinic-radiological features for predicting invasiveness and differentiation of pulmonary adenocarcinoma nodules

PURPOSE

To develop a comprehensive multi-classification model that combines radiomics and clinic-radiological features to accurately predict the invasiveness and differentiation of pulmonary adenocarcinoma nodules.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort comprising 500 patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma between January 2020 and December 2022. The dataset included preoperative CT images and histological reports of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS, n = 97), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA, n = 139), and invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC, n = 264) with well-differentiated (WIAC, n = 99), moderately differentiated (MIAC, n = 84), and poorly differentiated IAC (PIAC, n = 81). The patients were classified into two groups (IAC and non-IAC) for binary classification and further divided into three and five groups for multi-classification. Feature selection was performed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm to identify the most informative radiomics and clinic-radiological features. Eight machine learning (ML) models were developed using these features, and their performance was evaluated using accuracy (ACC) and the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC).

RESULTS

The combined model, utilizing the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, demonstrated improved performance in the testing cohort, achieving an AUC of 0.942 and an ACC of 0.894 for the two-classification task. For the three- and five-classification tasks, the combined model employing the one versus one strategy of SVM (SVM-OVO) outperformed other models, with ACC values of 0.767 and 0.607, respectively. The AUC values for histological subtypes ranged from 0.787 to 0.929 in the testing cohort, while the Macro-AUC and Micro-AUC of the multi-classification models ranged from 0.858 to 0.896.

CONCLUSIONS

A multi-classification radiomics model combined with clinic-radiological features, using the SVM-OVO algorithm, holds promise for accurately predicting the histological characteristics of pulmonary adenocarcinoma nodules, which contributes to personalized treatment strategies for patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
