SERT-StructNet: Protein secondary structure prediction method based on multi-factor hybrid deep model

Protein secondary structure prediction (PSSP) is a pivotal research endeavour that plays a crucial role in the comprehensive elucidation of protein functions and properties. Current prediction methodologies are focused on deep-learning techniques, particularly focusing on multi-factor features. Diverging from existing approaches, in this study, we placed special emphasis on the effects of amino acid properties and protein secondary structure propensity scores (SSPs) on secondary structure during the meticulous selection of multi-factor features. This differential feature-selection strategy results in a distinctive and effective amalgamation of the sequence and property features. To harness these multi-factor features optimally, we introduced a hybrid deep feature extraction model. The model initially employs mechanisms such as dilated convolution (D-Conv) and a channel attention network (SENet) for local feature extraction and targeted channel enhancement. Subsequently, a combination of recurrent neural network variants (BiGRU and BiLSTM), along with a transformer module, was employed to achieve global bidirectional information consideration and feature enhancement. This approach to multi-factor feature input and multi-level feature processing enabled a comprehensive exploration of intricate associations among amino acid residues in protein sequences, yielding a Q 3 accuracy of 84.9% and an Sov score of 85.1%. The overall performance surpasses that of the comparable methods. This study introduces a novel and efficient method for determining the PSSP domain, which is poised to deepen our understanding of the practical applications of protein molecular structures.

Prediction of protein N-terminal acetylation modification sites based on CNN-BiLSTM-attention model

N-terminal acetylation is one of the most common and important post-translational modifications (PTM) of eukaryotic proteins. PTM plays a crucial role in various cellular processes and disease pathogenesis. Thus, the accurate identification of N-terminal acetylation modifications is important to gain insight into cellular processes and other possible functional mechanisms. Although some algorithmic models have been proposed, most have been developed based on traditional machine learning algorithms and small training datasets. Their practical applications are limited. Nevertheless, deep learning algorithmic models are better at handling high-throughput and complex data. In this study, DeepCBA, a model based on the hybrid framework of convolutional neural network (CNN), bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM), and attention mechanism deep learning, was constructed to detect the N-terminal acetylation sites. The DeepCBA was built as follows: First, a benchmark dataset was generated by selecting low-redundant protein sequences from the Uniport database and further reducing the redundancy of the protein sequences using the CD-HIT tool. Subsequently, based on the skip-gram model in the word2vec algorithm, tripeptide word vector features were generated on the benchmark dataset. Finally, the CNN, BiLSTM, and attention mechanism were combined, and the tripeptide word vector features were fed into the stacked model for multiple rounds of training. The model performed excellently on independent dataset test, with accuracy and area under the curve of 80.51% and 87.36%, respectively. Altogether, DeepCBA achieved superior performance compared with the baseline model, and significantly outperformed most existing predictors. Additionally, our model can be used to identify disease loci and drug targets.

Boosting knowledge diversity, accuracy, and stability via tri-enhanced distillation for domain continual medical image segmentation

Domain continual medical image segmentation plays a crucial role in clinical settings. This approach enables segmentation models to continually learn from a sequential data stream across multiple domains. However, it faces the challenge of catastrophic forgetting. Existing methods based on knowledge distillation show potential to address this challenge via a three-stage process: distillation, transfer, and fusion. Yet, each stage presents its unique issues that, collectively, amplify the problem of catastrophic forgetting. To address these issues at each stage, we propose a tri-enhanced distillation framework. (1) Stochastic Knowledge Augmentation reduces redundancy in knowledge, thereby increasing both the diversity and volume of knowledge derived from the old network. (2) Adaptive Knowledge Transfer selectively captures critical information from the old knowledge, facilitating a more accurate knowledge transfer. (3) Global Uncertainty-Guided Fusion introduces a global uncertainty view of the dataset to fuse the old and new knowledge with reduced bias, promoting a more stable knowledge fusion. Our experimental results not only validate the feasibility of our approach, but also demonstrate its superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods. We suggest that our innovative tri-enhanced distillation framework may establish a robust benchmark for domain continual medical image segmentation.

GTADC: A Graph-Based Method for Inferring Cell Spatial Distribution in Cancer Tissues

The heterogeneity of tumors poses a challenge for understanding cell interactions and constructing complex ecosystems within cancer tissues. Current research strategies integrate spatial transcriptomics (ST) and single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to thoroughly analyze this intricate system. However, traditional deep learning methods using scRNA-seq data tend to filter differentially expressed genes through statistical methods. In the context of cancer tissues, where cancer cells exhibit significant differences in gene expression compared to normal cells, this heterogeneity renders traditional analysis methods incapable of accurately capturing differences between cell types. Therefore, we propose a graph-based deep learning method, GTADC, which utilizes Silhouette scores to precisely capture genes with significant expression differences within each cell type, enhancing the accuracy of gene selection. Compared to traditional methods, GTADC not only considers the expression similarity of genes within their respective clusters but also comprehensively leverages information from the overall clustering structure. The introduction of graph structure effectively captures spatial relationships and topological structures between the two types of data, enabling GTADC to more accurately and comprehensively resolve the spatial composition of different cell types within tissues. This refinement allows GTADC to intricately reconstruct the cellular spatial composition, offering a precise solution for inferring cell spatial composition. This method allows for early detection of potential cancer cell regions within tissues, assessing their quantity and spatial information in cell populations. We aim to achieve a preliminary estimation of cancer occurrence and development, contributing to a deeper understanding of early-stage cancer and providing potential support for early cancer diagnosis.

A novel long non-coding RNA LINC00524 facilitates invasion and metastasis through interaction with TDP43 in breast cancer

Breast cancer (BC) remains a significant health concern worldwide, with metastasis being a primary contributor to patient mortality. While advances in understanding the disease's progression continue, the underlying mechanisms, particularly the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), are not fully deciphered. In this study, we examined the influence of the lncRNA LINC00524 on BC invasion and metastasis. Through meticulous analyses of TCGA and GEO data sets, we observed a conspicuous elevation of LINC00524 expression in BC tissues. This increased expression correlated strongly with a poorer prognosis for BC patients. A detailed Gene Ontology analysis suggested that LINC00524 likely exerts its effects through RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) mechanisms. Experimentally, LINC00524 was demonstrated to amplify BC cell migration, invasion and proliferation in vitro. Additionally, in vivo tests showed its potent role in promoting BC cell growth and metastasis. A pivotal discovery was LINC00524's interaction with TDP43, which leads to the stabilization of TDP43 protein expression, an element associated with unfavourable BC outcomes. In essence, our comprehensive study illuminates how LINC00524 accelerates BC invasion and metastasis by binding to TDP43, presenting potential avenues for therapeutic interventions.

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.

Coronary Artery Fistula and Severe Coronary Artery Stenosis: A Case Report and an Insight for Potential Pathogenesis of Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis

Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) are a rare anomaly characterized by abnormal connections between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or a great vessel, with most patients remaining asymptomatic. Despite being predisposed to severe complications like heart failure, patients with CAF infrequently experience severe stenosis in the coronary artery. This study delineates a case involving a 46-year-old male presenting with a fistula bridging the right coronary artery (RCA) and right atrium (RA), manifesting a pronounced 99% stenosis at the right extremity of the coronary artery proximal to the fistula. Concurrently, the individual exhibits six conventional risk factors: age over 40, male gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and hypertriglyceridemia. Following pharmaceutical intervention, the patient was discharged and subjected to extended follow-up. This case highlights the dual processes of "accelerating damage" and "retarding renewal" in the progression of atherosclerosis. Factors such as shear stress, smoking, and hypertension are posited to expedite endothelial cell damage, while aging and diabetes may impede the renewal and repair of these cells. Together with the concept of secondary atherosclerotic plaque healing, this case prompts the introduction of a "Double Endothelial Healings" hypothesis, proposing a potential pathogenetic mechanism for coronary artery atherosclerosis.

Vacancies tailoring lattice anharmonicity of Zintl-type thermoelectrics

While phonon anharmonicity affects lattice thermal conductivity intrinsically and is difficult to be modified, controllable lattice defects routinely function only by scattering phonons extrinsically. Here, through a comprehensive study of crystal structure and lattice dynamics of Zintl-type Sr(Cu,Ag,Zn)Sb thermoelectric compounds using neutron scattering techniques and theoretical simulations, we show that the role of vacancies in suppressing lattice thermal conductivity could extend beyond defect scattering. The vacancies in Sr2ZnSb2 significantly enhance lattice anharmonicity, causing a giant softening and broadening of the entire phonon spectrum and, together with defect scattering, leading to a ~ 86% decrease in the maximum lattice thermal conductivity compared to SrCuSb. We show that this huge lattice change arises from charge density reconstruction, which undermines both interlayer and intralayer atomic bonding strength in the hierarchical structure. These microscopic insights demonstrate a promise of artificially tailoring phonon anharmonicity through lattice defect engineering to manipulate lattice thermal conductivity in the design of energy conversion materials.

Research hotspots of polycystic ovary syndrome and hyperandrogenism from 2008 to 2022: bibliometric analysis

BACKGROUND

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disorder in female adults, and hyperandrogenism (HA) is the typical endocrine feature of PCOS. This study aims to investigate the trends and hotspots in the study of PCOS and HA.

METHODS

Literature on Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from 2008 to 2022 was retrieved, and bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.

RESULTS

A total of 2,404 papers were published in 575 journals by 10,121 authors from 2,434 institutions in 86 countries. The number of publications in this field is generally on the rise yearly. The US, China and Italy contributed almost half of the publications. Monash University had the highest number of publications, while the University of Adelaide had the highest average citations and the Karolinska Institute had the strongest cooperation with other institutions. Lergo RS contributed the most to the field of PCOS and HA. The research on PCOS and HA mainly focused on complications, adipose tissue, inflammation, granulosa cells, gene and receptor expression.

CONCLUSION

Different countries, institutions, and authors should facilitate cooperation and exchanges. This study will be helpful for better understanding the frontiers and hotspots in the areas of PCOS and HA.

GSL-DTI: Graph structure learning network for Drug-Target interaction prediction

MOTIVATION

Drug-target interaction prediction is an important area of research to predict whether there is an interaction between a drug molecule and its target protein. It plays a critical role in drug discovery and development by facilitating the identification of potential drug candidates and expediting the overall process. Given the time-consuming, expensive, and high-risk nature of traditional drug discovery methods, the prediction of drug-target interactions has become an indispensable tool. Using machine learning and deep learning to tackle this class of problems has become a mainstream approach, and graph-based models have recently received much attention in this field. However, many current graph-based Drug-Target Interaction (DTI) prediction methods rely on manually defined rules to construct the Drug-Protein Pair (DPP) network during the DPP representation learning process. However, these methods fail to capture the true underlying relationships between drug molecules and target proteins.

RESULTS

We propose GSL-DTI, an automatic graph structure learning model used for predicting drug-target interactions (DTIs). Initially, we integrate large-scale heterogeneous networks using a graph convolution network based on meta-paths, effectively learning the representations of drugs and target proteins. Subsequently, we construct drug-protein pairs based on these representations. In contrast to previous studies that construct DPP networks based on manual rules, our method introduces an automatic graph structure learning approach. This approach utilizes a filter gate on the affinity scores of DPPs and relies on the classification loss of downstream tasks to guide the learning of the underlying DPP network structure. Based on the learned DPP network, we transform the prediction of drug-target interactions into a node classification problem. The comprehensive experiments conducted on three public datasets have shown the superiority of GSL-DTI in the tasks of DTI prediction. Additionally, GSL-DTI provides a fresh perspective for advancing research in graph structure learning for DTI prediction.

Subnational estimates of vitamin A supplementation coverage in children: a geospatial analysis of 45 low- and middle-income countries

OBJECTIVES

Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) can protect children from the adverse health consequences of vitamin A deficiency. Granular data on VAS coverage can guide global and national efforts to achieve universal VAS coverage. To provide geographically precise targeting of VAS programs and to monitor progress in reducing geographic disparities, we aimed to create high-resolution (5 × 5 km2) maps of VAS coverage in children under 5 years across VAS priority countries.

STUDY DESIGN

We used cross-sectional data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) program.

METHODS

We used data from the DHS program for United Nations Children's Fund -designated VAS priority countries between 2000 and 2017 with data available from 2005 or later. The outcome variable was the proportion of children under 5 years who received a vitamin A dose in each sampled cluster. We applied a Bayesian geostatistical approach incorporating geographic, climatic, and nutritional covariates to estimate VAS coverage for each cell. We estimated and mapped absolute VAS coverage, Bayesian uncertainty intervals, and exceedance probabilities.

RESULTS

Our sample included countries from Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa. Most countries had estimated VAS coverage levels <70%, and our exceedance probabilities indicated high certainty that our estimates fell below this threshold in most grid cells. International variations were most notable in the Latin America and the Caribbean region and Africa. Intranational variations were greatest in some South Asian and West and Central African countries.

CONCLUSIONS

These prevalence and exceedance maps, especially used with data on indicators of VAS need, could help to improve equity.

Treatment of auricular pseudocysts using enhanced negative drainage: a prospective study of 21 cases

OBJECTIVE

Auricular pseudocysts are rare, painless, benign intracartilaginous cysts of the auricle that are not lined by epithelium and have no known aetiology.

METHOD

This was a prospective study conducted in an ENT department from January 2020 to June 2022. In 21 patients, complete aspiration of the pseudocyst with enhanced negative drainage was performed. They were followed for a minimum of six months.

RESULTS

All patients completely responded to the negative drainage treatment. No cases of recurrence or obvious deformities were observed.

CONCLUSION

Aspiration with intensified negative drainage was associated with a positive response in patients with auricular pseudocysts. Complete resolution of the swelling can be achieved without any serious complications. Thus, it appears to be a simple and effective method for managing the condition.

Removal of U(VI) from acidic wastewater by persimmon tannin-functionalized chitosan

With sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) as cross-linker, Persimmon tannin-chitosan microspheres (PT-CS) were synthesized by hydrothermal for removing U(VI) from acidic effluent. The batch experiments indicated that PT-CS adsorbed U(VI) most effectively at pH 1.5, the maximum adsorption capacity for PT-CS was 245 mg/g. Compared to pure CS dissolved at pH 3, PT-CS still maintain high stability at pH 1. Moreover, single system of common metal ions in rare earth wastewater only slightly affected the adsorption of uranium at pH 1.5, but this process was inhibited about 30% at pH 5. Those results indicated that the selectivity of PT-CS for uranium removal could be controlled by regulating the pH and there are excellent potentials for PT-CS using in acid metal water treatment. Its adsorption selectivity and ability to adapt different condition was demonstrated with uraniferous rare earth wastewater treatment. The adsorption for PT-CS to U(VI) were well fitted for both Langmuir isothern and pseudo-secondary kinetic model equations, and that meant chemisorption dominated the removal process. Spectroscopic analyses confirmed that the adsorption of U(VI) occurred via surface complexation by -OH and ion exchange with Na+. Therefore, this study provides a high-efficiency, low-cost, valuable and highly adaptable method for the treatment of acidic uranium-containing effluents.

Unraveling the complex pathophysiology of white matter hemorrhage in intracerebral stroke: A single-cell RNA sequencing approach

AIM

This study aims to elucidate the cellular dynamics and pathophysiology of white matter hemorrhage (WMH) in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

METHODS

Using varying doses of collagenase IV, a consistent rat ICH model characterized by pronounced WMH was established. Verification was achieved through behavioral assays, hematoma volume, and histological evaluations. Single-cell suspensions from the hemorrhaged region of the ipsilateral striatum on day three post-ICH were profiled using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Gene Ontology (GO) and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) further interpreted the differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

RESULTS

Following WMH induction, there was a notable increase in the percentage of myeloid cells and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), alongside a reduction in the percentage of neurons, microglia, and oligodendrocytes (OLGs). Post-ICH WMH showed homeostatic microglia transitioning into pro-, anti-inflammatory, and proliferative states, influencing lipid metabolic pathways. Myeloid cells amplified chemokine expression, linked with ferroptosis pathways. Macrophages exhibited M1 and M2 phenotypes, and post-WMH, macrophages displayed a predominance of M2 phenotypes, characterized by their anti-inflammatory properties. A surge in OPC proliferation aligned with enhanced ribosomal signaling, suggesting potential reparative responses post-WMH.

CONCLUSION

The study offers valuable insights into WMH's complex pathophysiology following ICH, highlighting the significance and utility of scRNA-seq in understanding the cellular dynamics and contributing to future cerebrovascular research.

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.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal pemetrexed (IP) for treating patients with leptomeningeal metastases (LM) from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who progressed from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in an expanded, prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study (ChiCTR1800016615).

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Patients with confirmed NSCLC-LM who progressed from TKI received IP (50 mg, day 1/day 5 for 1 week, then every 3 weeks for four cycles, and then once monthly) until disease progression or intolerance. Objectives were to assess overall survival (OS), response rate, and safety. Measurable lesions were assessed by investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. LM were assessed according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria.

RESULTS

The study included 132 patients; 68% were female and median age was 52 years (31-74 years). The median OS was 12 months (95% confidence interval 10.4-13.6 months), RANO-assessed response rate was 80.3% (106/132), and the most common adverse event was myelosuppression (n = 42; 31.8%), which reversed after symptomatic treatment. The results of subgroup analysis showed that absence of brain parenchymal metastasis, good Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score, good response to IP treatment, negative cytology after treatment, and patients without neck/back pain/difficult defecation had longer survival. Gender, age, previous intrathecal methotrexate/cytarabine, and whole-brain radiotherapy had no significant influence on OS.

CONCLUSIONS

This study further showed that IP is an effective and safe treatment method for the EGFR-TKI-failed NSCLC-LM, and should be recommended for these patients in clinical practice and guidelines.

Deep medullary vein damage correlates with small vessel disease in small vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke

OBJECTIVES

We aim to investigate whether cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) imaging markers correlate with deep medullary vein (DMV) damage in small vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke (SVO-AIS) patients.

METHODS

The DMV was divided into six segments according to the regional anatomy. The total DMV score (0-18) was calculated based on segmental continuity and visibility. The damage of DMV was grouped according to the quartiles of the total DMV score. Neuroimaging biomarkers of cSVD including white matter hyperintensity (WMH), cerebral microbleed (CMB), perivascular space (PVS), and lacune were identified. The cSVD score were further analyzed.

RESULTS

We included 229 SVO-AIS patients, the mean age was 63.7 ± 23.1 years, the median NIHSS score was 3 (IQR, 2-6). In the severe DMV burden group (the 4th quartile), the NIHSS score grade (6 (3-9)) was significantly higher than other groups (p < 0.01). The grade scores for basal ganglia PVS (BG-PVS) were positively correlated with the degree of DMV (R = 0.67, p < 0.01), rather than centrum semivole PVS (CS-PVS) (R = 0.17, p = 0.1). In multivariate analysis, high CMB burden (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 25.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.87-345.23) was associated with severe DMV scores. In addition, BG-PVS was related to severe DMV burden in a dose-dependent manner: when BG-PVS score was 3 and 4, the aORs of severe DMV burden were 18.5 and 12.19, respectively.

CONCLUSION

The DMV impairment was associated with the severity of cSVD, which suggests that DMV burden may be used for risk stratification in SVO-AIS patients.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT

The DMV damage score, based on the association between small vessel disease and the deep medullary veins impairment, is a potential new imaging biomarker for the prognosis of small vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke, with clinical management implications.

KEY POINTS

• The damage to the deep medullary vein may be one mechanism of cerebral small vessel disease. • Severe burden of the basal ganglia perivascular space and cerebral microbleed is closely associated with significant impairment to the deep medullary vein. • The deep medullary vein damage score may reflect a risk of added vascular damage in small vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke patients.

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.

Effect of contact precautions on preventing meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus transmission in intensive care units: a review and modelling study of field trials

BACKGROUND

Contact precautions (CPs) have been widely implemented in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), as the standard approach for managing meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, the effectiveness of CPs in preventing MRSA transmission remains a subject of debate.

AIM

To assess the effectiveness of CPs in reducing MRSA transmission within ICUs.

METHODS

A comprehensive analysis was conducted using data from 16 sets of parameters collected from 13 field studies investigating the effectiveness of CPs in ICUs, and an epidemiologic model was developed to simulate the dynamics of MRSA incidence in the hospital setting.

FINDINGS

The analysis demonstrated a mean reduction of 20.52% (95% confidence interval -30.52 to 71.60%) in the MRSA transmission rate associated with the implementation of CPs. Furthermore, reducing the time-delay of screening tests and increasing the percentage of patients identified with MRSA through screening at admission were found to contribute to the effectiveness of CPs.

CONCLUSION

Proper implementation of CPs, with a particular emphasis on early identification of MRSA-colonized/infected patients, demonstrated a strong association with reduced MRSA transmission within the hospital setting. However, further research is necessary to investigate the effectiveness and safety of decolonization and other interventions used in conjunction with CPs to mitigate the risk of infection among colonized patients.

Effects of biochar layer position on treatment performance and microbial community in subsurface flow constructed wetlands for removal of cadmium and lead

Levels of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) correspond to common composition in acid mine wastewater of Hunan Province of China. The removal path of Cd and Pb and the structure of microbial community were investigated by developing constructed wetlands (CWs) with different layer positions of biochar. The biochar as a layer at the bottom of CW (BCW) system exhibited maximum Cd and Pb removal efficiencies of 96.6-98.6% and 97.2-98.9%, respectively. Compared with original soil, BCW increased the relative proportions of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Acidobacteriota, Verrucomicrobiota, Desulfobacterota, Armatimonadota, Bacteroidota, Patescibacteria, Basidiomycota (phylum level) and Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia, Citrifermentans, Chthonomonadales, Cellulomonas, Geothrix, Terracidiphilus, Gallionellaceae, Microbacterium, Vanrija, Apiotrichum, Saitozyma, Fusarium (genus level). The concentrations of Cd and Pb were positively correlated with the abundance of Verrucomicrobiota, Basidiomycota (phylum level), and Methylacidiphilaceae, Meyerozyma, Vanrija (genus level). This study demonstrates that BCW system can improve removal performance toward Cd and Pb, as well as alter microbial community.

Bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumour: advancing clinical, pathological, and imaging insights for future perspectives

Bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumour (BA/CMPT) is a benign peripheral lung tumour composed of bilayered bronchiolar-type epithelium containing a continuous basal cell layer; however, the similarities in imaging and tissue biopsy findings at histopathology between BA/CMPT and malignant tumours, including lung adenocarcinoma, pose significant challenges in accurately diagnosing BA/CMPT preoperatively. This difficulty in differentiation often results in misdiagnosis and unnecessary overtreatment. The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of BA/CMPT, encompassing its clinical manifestations, pathological basis, imaging features, and differential diagnosis. By enhancing healthcare professionals' understanding of this disease, we aim to improve the accuracy of preoperative BA/CMPT diagnosis. This improvement is crucial for the development of appropriate therapeutic strategies and the overall improvement of patient prognosis.

VirGrapher: a graph-based viral identifier for long sequences from metagenomes

Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on earth and are important components of microbial communities. A metagenome contains all microorganisms from an environmental sample. Correctly identifying viruses from these mixed sequences is critical in viral analyses. It is common to identify long viral sequences, which has already been passed thought pipelines of assembly and binning. Existing deep learning-based methods divide these long sequences into short subsequences and identify them separately. This makes the relationships between them be omitted, leading to poor performance on identifying long viral sequences. In this paper, VirGrapher is proposed to improve the identification performance of long viral sequences by constructing relationships among short subsequences from long ones. VirGrapher see a long sequence as a graph and uses a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) model to learn multilayer connections between nodes from sequences after a GCN-based node embedding model. VirGrapher achieves a better AUC value and accuracy on validation set, which is better than three benchmark methods.

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.

SPDB: a comprehensive resource and knowledgebase for proteomic data at the single-cell resolution

The single-cell proteomics enables the direct quantification of protein abundance at the single-cell resolution, providing valuable insights into cellular phenotypes beyond what can be inferred from transcriptome analysis alone. However, insufficient large-scale integrated databases hinder researchers from accessing and exploring single-cell proteomics, impeding the advancement of this field. To fill this deficiency, we present a comprehensive database, namely Single-cell Proteomic DataBase (SPDB, https://scproteomicsdb.com/), for general single-cell proteomic data, including antibody-based or mass spectrometry-based single-cell proteomics. Equipped with standardized data process and a user-friendly web interface, SPDB provides unified data formats for convenient interaction with downstream analysis, and offers not only dataset-level but also protein-level data search and exploration capabilities. To enable detailed exhibition of single-cell proteomic data, SPDB also provides a module for visualizing data from the perspectives of cell metadata or protein features. The current version of SPDB encompasses 133 antibody-based single-cell proteomic datasets involving more than 300 million cells and over 800 marker/surface proteins, and 10 mass spectrometry-based single-cell proteomic datasets involving more than 4000 cells and over 7000 proteins. Overall, SPDB is envisioned to be explored as a useful resource that will facilitate the wider research communities by providing detailed insights into proteomics from the single-cell perspective.

MRI Assessment of Brain Frailty and Clinical Outcome in Patients With Acute Posterior Perforating Artery Infarction

BACKGROUND

Global brain health has gained increasing attention recently. Imaging markers of brain frailty have been related to functional outcomes in previous studies on anterior circulation; however, little data are available on imaging markers and posterior circulation.

PURPOSE

To investigate the impact of brain frailty on functional outcomes in patients with acute perforating artery infarction (PAI) of the posterior circulation.

STUDY TYPE

Prospective.

POPULATION

One hundred patients (60.78 ± 9.51 years, 72% men) with acute posterior circulation PAI (determined by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/time-of-flight MR angiography).

FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE

T1- and T2-weighted fast spin echo, T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, diffusion-weighted echo planar, gradient echo (susceptibility-weight imaging), and 3D time-of-flight MR angiography sequences at 3.0 T.

ASSESSMENT

Periventricular and deep white matter hyperintensities (WMH), enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) in the basal ganglia and centrum semiovale area, lacunes, cerebral microbleeds (CMB), and total brain frailty score by calculating the above imaging characters were rated visually by three radiologists with 9, 10, and 11 years of experience and one neuroradiologist with 12. Infarction volume was assessed using baseline diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data obtained within 24 hours of symptom onset. A modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score >1 on day 90 defined an adverse functional outcome. Associations between the imaging markers of brain frailty and functional outcomes were assessed.

STATISTICAL TESTS

Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, and multivariable binary logistic regression. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

Adverse prognoses (mRS > 1) were observed in 34 (34%) patients. Infarction volume, periventricular WMH, deep WMH, basal ganglia EPVS, CMB, and the brain frailty score were significantly associated with adverse functional outcomes. An increased brain frailty score was significantly associated with unfavorable mRS score on day 90 (odds ratio 1.773, 95% confidence interval 1.237-2.541).

DATA CONCLUSION

Advanced MRI imaging markers of brain frailty, individually or combined as a total brain frailty score, were associated with worse functional outcomes after acute posterior circulation PAI.

Risk Factors Associated with Cage Retropulsion After Lumbar Interbody Fusion

AIM

To identify the cage retropulsion (CR)-associated risk factors following lumbar interbody fusion (LIF).

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Clinical data of patients who underwent LIF between January 2014 and December 2018 at three medical centers were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into CR group and non-CR (NCR) group according to whether they experienced CR or not. This study analyzed radiological and surgical parameters to identify the risk factors associated with CR.

RESULTS

The enrolled 823 patients who underwent LIF had a total of 1205 disk levels. There were 387 men and 436 women, with a mean age of 58.8 (range, 33-86) years old. The average follow-up time was 16.6 (range, 12-27) months. CR was found in 21 patients (9 men and 12 women, 21 levels). Besides, 14 patients complained of radicular pain postoperatively, of whom 10 patients were recovered after conservative treatment, while the remaining 4 patients further required revision surgery. The mean age was 62.3 ± 8.1 (range, 44-74) years old in the CR group and 59.7 ± 9.7 (range, 33-86) years old in the NCR group. The incidence of CR was higher in patients with osteoporosis than those with a normal bone mineral density (BMD). Moreover, 12 of 21 patients had osteoporosis (57.1%), however, only 29.2% of patients without CR had osteoporosis. The cages of retropulsion were all placed at the posterior disk space by immediately postoperative X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan. On the contrary, only 35.6% of cages were placed at the posterior disk space in the NCR group. Pear-shaped disk was found in 10 of 21 patients in the CR group (47.6%), whereas it was noted in only 13.4% of cases in the NCR group. Furthermore, 13 out of 21 patients in the CR group experienced intraoperative endplate injury (61.9%), while only 13.4% of patients experienced that in the NCR group. Risk factors for CR were osteoporosis [odds ratio (OR)=8.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) (3.42-34.6), P=0.01], posterior cage position [OR=5.8, 95%CI (2.12-24.6), p=0.03], pear-shaped disk [OR=9.9, 95%CI (6.21-46.42), p < 0.001], and intraoperative endplate injury [OR=9.9, 95%CI (6.21-46.42), p < 0.001].

CONCLUSION

Intraoperative endplate injury, pear-shaped disk, osteoporosis, and posterior cage position were noted as CRassociated risk factors after LIF.

Development of the Clinical pHysical rEsilience assEssment Scale (CHEES) in Chinese Older Adults

BACKGROUND

Physical resilience is an emerging concept that describes an individual's capacity to recover from stressors. However, few instruments are currently available for assessing physical resilience.

OBJECTIVE

To develop a scale to assess physical resilience in older adults.

DESIGN

Development of a clinical scale.

SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS

A total of 172 hospitalized older adults were recruited.

MEASUREMENTS

This study comprised two stages. First, a pool of physical resilience scale items was created through a literature review, and the Delphi method was used to establish an initial scale. Second, the initial physical resilience scale was tested on hospitalized older adults.

RESULTS

Five primary and 19 secondary items were identified after reviewing the literature. After two rounds of expert consultations, three primary and 16 secondary items were determined. The overall Cronbach's alpha for the scale was 0.760. Except for items N2, N4, N5, N8, and N14, Pearson's correlation between the scores of the remaining items and the total score ranged from 0.407 to 0.672. Except for items N2, N4, and N5, the corrected item-total correlation results ranged from 0.301 to 0.580, indicating good consistency between each item and the overall scale. Factor analysis showed that except for N7, the factor loadings of the remaining items were between 0.584 and 0.844. After expert discussions, items N2, N4, N7, and N14 were included in the scale, and items N5 and N8 were removed.

CONCLUSION

A 14-item physical resilience scale, CHEES, was developed to assess physical resilience levels in older adults.

Diagnostic performance of SPECT in lumbar spondylolysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

AIM

To evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical applicability of single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) for lumbar spondylolysis using meta-analysis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Stata 12.0, was used to test the heterogeneity, and the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and other effect sizes were collected to generate the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve for comprehensive evaluation. Meta-regression analysis was used to explore the source of heterogeneity, and subgroup analysis was performed. Funnel plots, Fagan's line diagrams, and likelihood ratio dot plots were drawn to evaluate publication bias and clinical applicability.

RESULTS

Eight studies involving 785 patients were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, odds ratio, and area under the SROC curve of SPECT for the diagnosis of lumbar spondylolysis were 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.70 0.93), 0.92 (95% CI: 0.60 0.99), 11.01 (95% CI: 1.61 75.18), 0.17 (95% CI: 0.08 0.35), 0.92 (95% CI: 0.90 0.94). Meta-regression analysis showed that the sources of heterogeneity were region and age. Subgroup analysis showed that the specificity of the child and adolescent subgroup was significantly higher than that of the middle-aged and elderly subgroups. Deek's funnel plots showed no significant publication bias. The pooled effect of the likelihood ratio dot plot for diagnosis is in the upper-right quadrant.

CONCLUSION

As a diagnostic tool for spondylolysis, SPECT has a high degree of specificity, moderate sensitivity, and relatively high diagnostic effectiveness. It can be used as an auxiliary sign in the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar spondylolysis.

CD4+ T cell immunity is dependent on an intrinsic stem-like program

CD4+ T cells are central to various immune responses, but the molecular programs that drive and maintain CD4+ T cell immunity are not entirely clear. Here we identify a stem-like program that governs the CD4+ T cell response in transplantation models. Single-cell-transcriptomic analysis revealed that naive alloantigen-specific CD4+ T cells develop into TCF1hi effector precursor (TEP) cells and TCF1-CXCR6+ effectors in transplant recipients. The TCF1-CXCR6+CD4+ effectors lose proliferation capacity and do not reject allografts upon adoptive transfer into secondary hosts. By contrast, the TCF1hiCD4+ TEP cells have dual features of self-renewal and effector differentiation potential, and allograft rejection depends on continuous replenishment of TCF1-CXCR6+ effectors from TCF1hiCD4+ TEP cells. Mechanistically, TCF1 sustains the CD4+ TEP cell population, whereas the transcription factor IRF4 and the glycolytic enzyme LDHA govern the effector differentiation potential of CD4+ TEP cells. Deletion of IRF4 or LDHA in T cells induces transplant acceptance. These findings unravel a stem-like program that controls the self-renewal capacity and effector differentiation potential of CD4+ TEP cells and have implications for T cell-related immunotherapies.

MMCL-CDR: enhancing cancer drug response prediction with multi-omics and morphology images contrastive representation learning

MOTIVATION

Cancer is a complex disease that results in a significant number of global fatalities. Treatment strategies can vary among patients, even if they have the same type of cancer. The application of precision medicine in cancer shows promise for treating different types of cancer, reducing healthcare expenses, and improving recovery rates. To achieve personalized cancer treatment, machine learning models have been developed to predict drug responses based on tumor and drug characteristics. However, current studies either focus on constructing homogeneous networks from single data source or heterogeneous networks from multiomics data. While multiomics data have shown potential in predicting drug responses in cancer cell lines, there is still a lack of research that effectively utilizes insights from different modalities. Furthermore, effectively utilizing the multimodal knowledge of cancer cell lines poses a challenge due to the heterogeneity inherent in these modalities.

RESULTS

To address these challenges, we introduce MMCL-CDR (Multimodal Contrastive Learning for Cancer Drug Responses), a multimodal approach for cancer drug response prediction that integrates copy number variation, gene expression, morphology images of cell lines, and chemical structure of drugs. The objective of MMCL-CDR is to align cancer cell lines across different data modalities by learning cell line representations from omic and image data, and combined with structural drug representations to enhance the prediction of cancer drug responses (CDR). We have carried out comprehensive experiments and show that our model significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in CDR prediction. The experimental results also prove that the model can learn more accurate cell line representation by integrating multiomics and morphological data from cell lines, thereby improving the accuracy of CDR prediction. In addition, the ablation study and qualitative analysis also confirm the effectiveness of each part of our proposed model. Last but not least, MMCL-CDR opens up a new dimension for cancer drug response prediction through multimodal contrastive learning, pioneering a novel approach that integrates multiomics and multimodal drug and cell line modeling.

AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION

MMCL-CDR is available at https://github.com/catly/MMCL-CDR.

MDformer: A transformer-based method for predicting miRNA-Disease associations using multi-source feature fusion and maximal meta-path instances encoding

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that microRNAs (miRNAs), small biological molecules, play a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic assessment of diseases. However, it is often inefficient to verify the association between miRNAs and diseases (MDA) through traditional experimental methods. Based on this situation, researchers have proposed various computational-based methods, but the existing methods often have many drawbacks in terms of predictive effectiveness and accuracy. Therefore, in order to improve the prediction performance of computational methods, we propose a transformer-based prediction model (MDformer) for multi-source feature information. Specifically, first, we consider multiple features of miRNAs and diseases from the molecular biology perspective and utilize them in a fusion. Then high-quality node feature embeddings were generated using a feature encoder based on the transformer architecture and meta-path instances. Finally, a deep neural network was built for MDA prediction. To evaluate the performance of our model, we performed multiple 5-fold cross-validations as well as comparison experiments on HMDD v3.2 and HMDD v2.0 databases, and the experimental results of the average ROC area under the curve (AUC) were higher than the comparative methods for both databases at 0.9506 and 0.9369. We conducted case studies on five highly lethal cancers (breast, lung, colorectal, gastric, and hepatocellular cancers), and the first 30 predictions for these five diseases achieved 97.3% accuracy. In conclusion, MDformer is a reliable and scientifically sound tool that can be used to accurately predict MDA. In addition, the source code is available at https://github.com/Linda908/MDformer.

AI's deep dive into complex pediatric inguinal hernia issues: a challenge to traditional guidelines?

OBJECTIVE

This study utilized ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence program based on large language models, to explore controversial issues in pediatric inguinal hernia surgery and compare its responses with the guidelines of the European Association of Pediatric Surgeons (EUPSA).

METHODS

Six contentious issues raised by EUPSA were submitted to ChatGPT 4.0 for analysis, for which two independent responses were generated for each issue. These generated answers were subsequently compared with systematic reviews and guidelines. To ensure content accuracy and reliability, a content analysis was conducted, and expert evaluations were solicited for validation. Content analysis evaluated the consistency or discrepancy between ChatGPT 4.0's responses and the guidelines. An expert scoring method assess the quality, reliability, and applicability of responses. The TF-IDF model tested the stability and consistency of the two responses.

RESULTS

The responses generated by ChatGPT 4.0 were mostly consistent with the guidelines. However, some differences and contradictions were noted. The average quality score was 3.33, reliability score was 2.75, and applicability score was 3.46 (out of 5). The average similarity between the two responses was 0.72 (out of 1), Content analysis and expert ratings yielded consistent conclusions, enhancing the credibility of our research.

CONCLUSION

ChatGPT can provide valuable responses to clinical questions, but it has limitations and requires further improvement. It is recommended to combine ChatGPT with other reliable data sources to improve clinical practice and decision-making.

Cortical Endplate Bone Density Measured by Novel Phantomless Quantitative Computed Tomography May Predict Cage Subsidence more Conveniently and Accurately

OBJECTIVE

Previous studies have shown that bone mineral density (BMD) is a predictor of cage subsidence. Phantom-less quantitative computed tomography (PL-QCT) can measure volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of lumbar trabecular and cortical bone. The study of endplate vBMD (EP-vBMD) is important in predicting cage settlement after extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF). This study aimed to determine the risk factors for postoperative cage subsidence after XLIF, particularly focusing on the relationship between vBMD measured by automatic PL-QCT and cage subsidence.

METHODS

Patients who underwent XLIF surgery from January 2018 to October 2020 with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up were retrospectively included. Cage subsidence was defined as >2 mm cage sinking on the adjacent endplate in follow-up imaging evaluation. Outcome measures were localized vBMDs included EP-vBMDs with different region of interest (ROI) heights measured by PL-QCT based on a customized muscle-fat algorithm. Shapiro-Wilk test, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney test, Fisher exact test, univariable and multivariable logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were executed in this study.

RESULTS

One hundred and thirteen levels of 78 patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 65 ± 7.9 years for 11 males and 67 females. Cage subsidence occurred on 45 (39.8%) surgical levels. There was no significant difference in demographics, fused levels, or preoperative radiographic parameters. 1.25-mm EP-vBMD (0.991 [0.985,0.997], p = 0.004) and P-TB-vBMD (cage-positioned trabecular volumetric bone mineral density) (0.988 [0.977-0.999], p = 0.026) were cage-subsidence relevant according to univariate analysis. Low 1.25-mm EP-vBMD (0.992 [0.985, 0.999], p = 0.029) was an independent risk factor according to multifactorial analysis.

CONCLUSION

Preoperative low EP-vBMD was an independent risk factor for postoperative cage subsidence after XLIF. EP-vBMD measured by most cortex-occupied ROI may be the optimal vBMD parameter for cage subsidence prediction.

Lasofoxifene versus fulvestrant for ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer with an ESR1 mutation: results from the randomized, phase II ELAINE 1 trial

BACKGROUND

Acquired estrogen receptor alpha (ER/ESR1) mutations commonly cause endocrine resistance in ER+ metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Lasofoxifene, a novel selective ER modulator, stabilizes an antagonist conformation of wild-type and ESR1-mutated ER-ligand binding domains, and has antitumor activity in ESR1-mutated xenografts.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

In this open-label, randomized, phase II, multicenter, ELAINE 1 study (NCT03781063), we randomized women with ESR1-mutated, ER+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) mBC that had progressed on an aromatase inhibitor (AI) plus a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) to oral lasofoxifene 5 mg daily or IM fulvestrant 500 mg (days 1, 15, and 29, and then every 4 weeks) until disease progression/toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were safety/tolerability.

RESULTS

A total of 103 patients received lasofoxifene (n = 52) or fulvestrant (n = 51). The most current efficacy analysis showed that lasofoxifene did not significantly prolong median PFS compared with fulvestrant: 24.2 weeks (∼5.6 months) versus 16.2 weeks (∼3.7 months; P = 0.138); hazard ratio 0.699 (95% confidence interval 0.434-1.125). However, PFS and other clinical endpoints numerically favored lasofoxifene: clinical benefit rate (36.5% versus 21.6%; P = 0.117), objective response rate [13.2% (including a complete response in one lasofoxifene-treated patient) versus 2.9%; P = 0.124], and 6-month (53.4% versus 37.9%) and 12-month (30.7% versus 14.1%) PFS rates. Most common treatment-emergent adverse events with lasofoxifene were nausea, fatigue, arthralgia, and hot flushes. One death occurred in the fulvestrant arm. Circulating tumor DNA ESR1 mutant allele fraction (MAF) decreased from baseline to week 8 in 82.9% of evaluable lasofoxifene-treated versus 61.5% of fulvestrant-treated patients.

CONCLUSIONS

Lasofoxifene demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity versus fulvestrant and was well tolerated in patients with ESR1-mutated, endocrine-resistant mBC following progression on AI plus CDK4/6i. Consistent with target engagement, lasofoxifene reduced ESR1 MAF, and to a greater extent than fulvestrant. Lasofoxifene may be a promising targeted treatment for patients with ESR1-mutated mBC and warrants further investigation.

Cellular and Molecular Connections Between Bone Fracture Healing and Exosomes

Fracture healing is a multifaceted process that requires various phases and intercellular interactions. In recent years, investigations have been conducted to assess the feasibility of utilizing exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (EVs), to enhance and accelerate the healing process. Exosomes serve as a cargo transport platform, facilitating intercellular communication, promoting the presentation of antigens to dendritic cells, and stimulating angiogenesis. Exosomes have a special structure that gives them a special function, especially in the healing process of bone injuries. This article provides an overview of cellular and molecular processes associated with bone fracture healing, as well as a survey of existing exosome research in this context. We also discuss the potential use of exosomes in fracture healing, as well as the obstacles that must be overcome to make this a viable clinical practice.

GTAD: a graph-based approach for cell spatial composition inference from integrated scRNA-seq and ST-seq data

With the emergence of spatial transcriptome sequencing (ST-seq), research now heavily relies on the joint analysis of ST-seq and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to precisely identify cell spatial composition in tissues. However, common methods for combining these datasets often merge data from multiple cells to generate pseudo-ST data, overlooking topological relationships and failing to represent spatial arrangements accurately. We introduce GTAD, a method utilizing the Graph Attention Network for deconvolution of integrated scRNA-seq and ST-seq data. GTAD effectively captures cell spatial relationships and topological structures within tissues using a graph-based approach, enhancing cell-type identification and our understanding of complex tissue cellular landscapes. By integrating scRNA-seq and ST data into a unified graph structure, GTAD outperforms traditional 'pseudo-ST' methods, providing robust and information-rich results. GTAD performs exceptionally well with synthesized spatial data and accurately identifies cell spatial composition in tissues like the mouse cerebral cortex, cerebellum, developing human heart and pancreatic ductal carcinoma. GTAD holds the potential to enhance our understanding of tissue microenvironments and cellular diversity in complex bio-logical systems.

Hypobaric hypoxia induces iron mobilization from liver and spleen and increases serum iron via activation of ghrelin/GHSR1a/MAPK signalling pathway in mice

Hypobaric hypoxia (HH) exposure affects appetite and serum iron levels in both humans and animals. Thus, whether appetite-regulating ghrelin is involved in iron regulation under HH needs to be elucidated. In vivo, C57BL/6J mice were placed in a hypobaric chamber to establish a 6000-m-high altitude exposure animal model. In vitro, mouse primary hepatocytes and peritoneal macrophages were exposed to hypoxia (1% O2) to examine the effects of ghrelin on iron-regulating proteins. HH obviously reduced the body weight of mice and significantly increased the levels of erythrocytes, and also significantly enhanced the levels of serum iron and plasma ghrelin. However, iron content in the liver and spleen was decreased, while ferroportin (Fpn) expression was increased. Moreover, ghrelin significantly induced Fpn and pERK expression in both hepatocytes and macrophages under hypoxia, which were reversed by pretreatment with growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a) antagonist or pERK inhibitor. Our findings indicated that HH leads to decreased appetite and insufficient dietary intake, which may negatively regulate the levels of ghrelin. Furthermore, GHSR1a/ERK signalling pathway is further activated to upregulate the expression of Fpn, and then promoting iron mobilization both in the liver/hepatocytes and spleen/macrophages in mice. Thus, these results revealed that ghrelin may be a potential iron regulatory hormone, and raised the possibility of ghrelin as a promising therapeutic target against iron disorders under HH.

Hyperon Polarization along the Beam Direction Relative to the Second and Third Harmonic Event Planes in Isobar Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV

The polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200  GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild p_{T} dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and p_{T} dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.

MicroRNA Promoter Identification in Human With a Three-level Prediction Method

The accurate annotation of miRNA promoters is critical for the mechanistic understanding of miRNA gene regulation. Various computational methods have been developed for the prediction of miRNA promoters solely employing a single classifier. Most of these computational methods extract either sequence features or one-sided signal features, and the accuracy and reliability of predictions need to be improved. To address these issues, we present miPTP, a three-level prediction method that combines SVM, RF, and correlation coefficients. It is capable of identifying miRNA promoters based on both DNA sequence and ChIP-Seq data (RPol II). By sequentially integrating these two types of information sources with the three methods selected, miPTP can identify miRNA promoters with higher accuracy and sensitivity compared to specific existing methods. Finally, the reliability of miPTP is validated by examining the conservation, CpG content, and activating histone marks in the identified miRNA promoters.

Bioequivalence of Two 6-Mercaptopurine Tablet Formulations in Healthy Fasting Chinese Volunteers

The supply of branded 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) is limited in China, necessitating the local production and clinical evaluation of generic alternatives. We evaluated the in vivo bioequivalence (BE) of a new generic mercaptopurine tablet (50 mg) formulation by comparing peak plasma concentration and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) with a branded 6-MP formulation as the reference in 36 healthy fasting Chinese adults. The in vivo BE was evaluated by the average BE test. The safety parameters of the test and reference formulations were also evaluated. The geometric mean ratios for AUC over the dosing interval and AUC from time zero to infinity were 104% and 104%, respectively, of the reference values, while the point estimate of the geometric mean ratio for peak plasma concentration was 104% of the reference value. The test and reference formulations in this study were both deemed safe as only 23 Grade 1 adverse events were observed in 13 of 36 subjects. The test and reference formulations of 6-MP tablets meet the regulatory criteria for BE in healthy fasting Chinese adults.

Amputation and limb salvage following endovascular and open surgery for the treatment of peripheral artery illnesses: A meta-analysis

A meta-analysis investigation was executed to measure the outcome of endovascular surgery (ES) and open surgery (OS) for the management of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) on amputation and limb salvage (LS). A comprehensive literature inspection till February 2023 was applied and 3451 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 31 chosen investigations enclosed 19 948 individuals with PADs were in the chosen investigations' starting point, 8861 of them were utilising ES, and 11 087 were utilising OS. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilised to compute the value of the effect of ES and OS for the management of PADs on amputation and LS by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model. ES had significantly lower amputation (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.68-0.93, P = 0.005) compared with those with OS in individuals with PADs. No significant difference was found between ES and OS in 30-day LS (OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.64-1.42, P = 0.81), 1-year LS (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.81-1.39, P = 0.68), and 3-year LS (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.61-1.19, P = 0.36) in individuals with PADs. ES had significantly lower amputation, 30-day LS, 1-year LS, and 3-year LS compared with those with OS in individuals with PADs. However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values because of the low sample size of some of the nominated investigations for the meta-analysis.

Observation of New Baryons in the Ξ_{b}^{-}π^{+}π^{-} and Ξ_{b}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} Systems

The first observation and study of two new baryonic structures in the final state Ξ_{b}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} and the confirmation of the Ξ_{b}(6100)^{-} state in the Ξ_{b}^{-}π^{+}π^{-} decay mode are reported using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9  fb^{-1}. In addition, the properties of the known Ξ_{b}^{*0}, Ξ_{b}^{'-} and Ξ_{b}^{*-} resonances are measured with improved precision. The new decay mode of the Ξ_{b}^{0} baryon to the Ξ_{c}^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-} final state is observed and exploited for the first time in these measurements.

Precision Measurement of CP Violation in the Penguin-Mediated Decay B_{s}^{0}→ϕϕ

A flavor-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of the decay B_{s}^{0}→ϕϕ is performed using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6  fb^{-1}. The CP-violating phase and direct CP-violation parameter are measured to be ϕ_{s}^{ss[over ¯]s}=-0.042±0.075±0.009  rad and |λ|=1.004±0.030±0.009, respectively, assuming the same values for all polarization states of the ϕϕ system. In these results, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These parameters are also determined separately for each polarization state, showing no evidence for polarization dependence. The results are combined with previous LHCb measurements using pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, yielding ϕ_{s}^{ss[over ¯]s}=-0.074±0.069  rad and |λ|=1.009±0.030. This is the most precise study of time-dependent CP violation in a penguin-dominated B meson decay. The results are consistent with CP symmetry and with the standard model predictions.
