Abstract
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are soluble mediators secreted by Gram-negative bacteria that are involved in communication. They can carry a variety of harmful molecules, which induce cytotoxic responses and inflammatory reactions in the absence of direct host cell-bacterium interactions. We previously reported the isolation of OMVs from avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) culture medium by ultracentrifugation, and characterized them as a substance capable of inducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and causing tissue damage. However, the specific mechanisms by which APEC-secreted OMVs activate host cell death signaling and inflammation are poorly understood. Here, we show that OMVs are involved in the pathogenesis of APEC disease. In an APEC/chicken macrophage (HD11) coculture system, APEC significantly promoted HD11 cell death and inflammatory responses by secreting OMVs. Using western blotting analysis and specific pathway inhibitors, we demonstrated that the induction of HD11 death by APEC OMVs is associated with the activation of receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1)-, receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 3 (RIPK3)-, and mixed lineage kinase like pseudokinase (MLKL)-induced necroptosis. Notably, necroptosis inhibitor-1 (Nec-1), an RIPK1 inhibitor, reversed these effects. We also showed that APEC OMVs promote the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, leading to the phosphorylation of IκB-α and p65, the increased nuclear translocation of p65, and the significant upregulation of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and IL-6 transcription. Importantly, APEC OMVs-induced IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA expression and the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway were similarly significantly inhibited by a RIPK1-specific inhibitor. Based on these findings, we have established that RIPK1 plays a dual role in HD11 cells necroptosis and the proinflammatory cytokine (IL-1β and IL-6) expression induced by APEC OMVs. RIPK1 mediated the induction of necroptosis and the activation of the NF-κB in HD11 cells via APEC OMVs. The results of this study provide a basis for further investigation of the contribution of OMVs to the pathogenesis of APEC.

Abstract
Aging in humans is associated with abdominal distribution and remodeling of body fat and a parallel gradual increase in the prevalence of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and fatty liver disease, as well as the risk of developing metabolic complications. Current treatments might be improved by understanding the detailed mechanisms underlying the onset of age-related metabolic disorders. Neddylation, a post-translational modification that adds the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to substrate proteins, has recently been linked to age-related metabolic diseases, opening new avenues of investigation and raising a potential target for treatment of these diseases. In this review, we will focus on the potential role of NEDD8-mediated neddylation in age-related metabolic dysregulation, insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and fatty liver. We propose that alterations in NEDD8-mediated neddylation contribute to triggering insulin resistance and the development of age-related metabolic dysregulation, thus highlighting NEDD8 as a promising therapeutic target for preventing age-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the audiology and occupational health data of applicants diagnosed of occupational noise deafness, and to explore the influencing factors in the diagnosis of suspected occupational noise deafness. Methods: In May 2022, the information of patients diagnosed with occupational noise deafness in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 was collected, and the occupational health data of their working environment, clinical audiological examination results and diagnosis basis of occupational noise deafness were collected and analyzed. Multi-factor unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for the diagnosis of occupational noise deafness. Results: A total of 129 subjects were included, all of which were suspected cases of occupational noise deafness found in various occupational health examination institutions. Eight cases (6.20%) were diagnosed as occupational noise deafness, and 121 cases (93.80%) were non-occupational noise deafness. After hearing examination, only 27.27% (24/88) of the patients' audiological changes were consistent with the starting point of occupational noise deafness diagnosis. Further analysis of the noise intensity in the workplace showed that 16 patients were identified as non-occupational noise deafness because the noise intensity of the working environment was less than 85 dB. Logistic regression analysis showed that the working hours were more than 8 hours (OR=9.274, 95%CI: 1.388-61.950, P=0.022) and the noise intensity of the working environment (OR=1.189, 95%CI: 1.059-1.334, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for the diagnosis of occupational noise deafness. Conclusion: The exclusion rate of suspected occupational noise deafness found in occupational health examination is higher after adequate rest. The test results of working environment noise intensity provided by the employer can help to determine occupational noise deafness.

Abstract
Nuclear factor (NF)-κB plays a pivotal role in the regulation of inflammatory response in macrophages. Berberine (BBR), which is an active constituent isolated from Coptis rhizome, possesses a prominent anti-inflammatory activity. Here we show that BBR changes the global acetylation landscape in LPS-induced protein acetylation of macrophages and reduces the acetylation of NF-κB subunit p65 at site Lys310(p65Lys310), leading to the inhibition of NF-κB translocation and transcriptional activity to suppress the expressions of inflammatory factors. BBR resists the inflammatory response in acute LPS-stimulated mice through downregulation of p65Lys310 acetylation in peritoneal macrophages. In obese mice, BBR alleviates the metabolic disorder and inflammation with the reduced acetylation of p65Lys310 in white adipose tissue. Furthermore, we demonstrate that BBR acts as a regulator of p65Lys310 by inhibiting the expression of p300 in macrophages. Our findings elucidate a new molecular mechanism for the anti-inflammatory effect of BBR via the p300/p65Lys310 axis.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes account for a considerable proportion of the global burden of age-related metabolic diseases. In age-related metabolic diseases, tissue crosstalk and metabolic regulation have been primarily linked to endocrine processes. Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue are endocrine organs that release myokines and adipokines into the bloodstream, respectively. These cytokines regulate metabolic responses in a variety of tissues, including skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. However, the intricate mechanisms underlying adipose-muscle crosstalk in age-related metabolic diseases are not fully understood. Recent exciting evidence suggests that myokines act to control adipose tissue functions, including lipolysis, browning, and inflammation, whereas adipokines mediate the beneficial actions of adipose tissue in the muscle, such as glucose uptake and metabolism. In this review, we assess the mechanisms of adipose-muscle crosstalk in age-related disorders and propose that the adipokines adiponectin and spexin, as well as the myokines irisin and interleukin-6 (IL-6), are crucial for maintaining the body's metabolic balance in age-related metabolic disorders. In addition, these changes of adipose-muscle crosstalk in response to exercise or dietary flavonoid consumption are part of the mechanisms of both functions in the remission of age-related metabolic disorders. A better understanding of the intricate relationships between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle could lead to more potent therapeutic approaches to prolong life and prevent age-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Brown and beige adipose tissues regulate body energy expenditure through adaptive thermogenesis, which converts energy into heat by oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling. Although promoting adaptive thermogenesis has been demonstrated to be a prospective strategy for obesity control, there are few methods for increasing adipose tissue thermogenesis in a safe and effective way. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is a category of epigenetic modifying enzymes that catalyzes deacetylation on both histone and non-histone proteins. Recent studies illustrated that HDACs play an important role in adipose tissue thermogenesis through modulating gene transcription and chromatin structure as well as cellular signals transduction in both deacetylation dependent or independent manners. Given that different classes and subtypes of HDACs show diversity in the mechanisms of adaptive thermogenesis regulation, we systematically summarized the effects of different HDACs on adaptive thermogenesis and their underlying mechanisms in this review. We also emphasized the differences among HDACs in thermogenesis regulation, which will help to find new efficient anti-obesity drugs targeting specific HDAC subtypes.

Abstract
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is a serious systemic infectious disease in poultry infections, causing severe economic losses to the poultry industry. Previous studies have shown that secretion of virulence proteins was required for the pathogenicity of APEC through the secretion system. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are a generalized secretion system of Gram-negative bacteria that play a key role in the long-distance delivery of virulence factors, but whether they are associated with the pathogenic mechanism of APEC has not been determined. In this study, OMVs were purified and characterized from AE17 (O2 serotype) by ultracentrifugation and density gradient centrifugation and their protein cargo was identified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In addition, 89Zr was labeled after chelating AE17 OMVs by DFO and positron emission tomography PET imaging was used to track 89Zr-DFO-OMVs in chickens and to pathologically analyze the distribution sites. This study showed that AE17 OMVs were membrane vesicles ranging in size from 20 to 200 nm and proteomic analysis revealed the presence of virulence proteins, including adhesion proteins OmpA, OmpC, OmpF, OmpX, FimH, FimC and FigE, and serum resistance proteins OmpT and MliC and immune response regulator proteins (FliC). In addition, in vivo PET imaging to track the biodistribution of AE17 OMVs showed that AE17 OMVs were taken up by the lung region and the gastrointestinal and renal regions but were not detected in other areas. Pathological analysis of the tissue sites where AE17 OMVs were ingested showed inflammatory responses and damage. These findings suggested that AE17 OMVs not only contained a group of virulence proteins associated with AE17 infection but can also deliver these virulence proteins over long distances and caused tissue inflammatory damage. Our study revealed a previously unidentified causative microbial signal in the pathogenesis of APEC that could aid in the development of vaccines and antibiotics effective against APEC.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is reproductive aging in granulosa cells associated with markers of ovarian reserve? SUMMARY ANSWER Age acceleration was associated with anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, antral follicle count (AFC), oocyte yield and maturity, and the number of successfully fertilized embryos. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The rate of reproductive aging varies among women of the same age. DNA methylation can be used to predict epigenetic age in a variety of tissues. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This was a cross-sectional study of 70 women at the time of oocyte retrieval. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS The 70 participants were recruited for this study at an academic medical center and they provided follicular fluid samples at the time of oocyte retrieval. Granulosa cells were isolated and assessed on the MethylationEPIC array. Linear regression was used to evaluate the associations between DNA methylation-based age predictions from granulosa cells and chronological age. Age acceleration was calculated as the residual of regressing DNA methylation-based age on chronological age. Linear regressions were used to determine the associations between age acceleration and markers of ovarian reserve and IVF cycle outcomes. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Participants were a mean of 36.7 ± 3.9 years old. In regards to race, 54% were white, 19% were African American and 27% were of another background. Age acceleration was normally distributed and not associated with chronological age. Age acceleration was negatively associated with AMH levels (t = -3.1, P = 0.003) and AFC (t = -4.0, P = 0.0001), such that women with a higher age acceleration had a lower ovarian reserve. Age acceleration was also negatively correlated with the total number of oocytes retrieved (t = -3.9, P = 0.0002), the number of mature oocytes (t = -3.8, P = 0.0003) and the number of fertilized oocytes or two-pronuclear oocytes (t = -2.8, P = 0.008) in the main analysis. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION This study used pooled follicular fluid, which does not allow for the investigation of individual follicles. Infertility patients may also be different from the general population, but, as we used granulosa cells, the participants had to be from an IVF population. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS This study demonstrated that epigenetic age and age acceleration can be calculated from granulosa cells collected at the time of oocyte retrieval. GrimAge most strongly predicted chronological age, and GrimAge acceleration was associated with baseline and cycle characteristics as well as cycle outcomes, which indicates its potential clinical relevance in evaluating both oocyte quantity and quality.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 4 (PCV4) is a newly emerging pathogen that was first detected in 2019 and is associated with diverse clinical signs, including respiratory and gastrointestinal distress, dermatitis and various systemic inflammations. It was necessary to develop a sensitive and specific diagnostic method to detect PCV4 in clinical samples, so in this study, a multienzyme isothermal rapid amplification (MIRA) assay was developed for the rapid detection of PCV4 and evaluated for sensitivity, specificity and applicability. It was used to detect the conserved Cap gene of PCV4, operated at 41°C and completed in 20 min. With the screening of MIRA primer-probe combination, it could detect as low as 101 copies of PCV4 DNA per reaction and was highly specific, with no cross-reaction with other pathogens. Further assessment with clinical samples showed that the developed MIRA assay had good correlation with real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for the detection of PCV4. The developed MIRA assay will be a valuable tool for the detection of the novel PCV4 in clinical samples due to its high sensitivity and specificity, simplicity of operation and short testing time.

Abstract
It was reported that spexin as an adipocyte-secreted protein could regulate obesity and insulin resistance. However, the specific metabolic contribution of spexin to fatty liver remains incompletely understood. Herein, we investigated the effects of spexin on hepatosteatosis and explored the underlying molecular mechanisms. HFD-fed mice were injected with spexin and/or GALR2 antagonist M871, while PA-induced HepG2 cells were treated with spexin in the absence or presence of M871 for 12 h, respectively. Gene expression in liver tissues and hepatocytes was assessed by qRT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. The results showed that body weight, visceral fat content, liver lipid droplet formation, hepatic intracellular triglyceride, and serum triglyceride were reduced in spexin-treated mice. Furthermore, spexin increased the expression of hepatic CPT1A, PPARα, SIRT1, KLF9, PGC-1α and PEPCK in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, spexin treatment improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in mice fed the HFD. Interestingly, these spexin-mediated beneficial effects were abolished by the GALR2 antagonist M871 in mice fed HFD and PA-induced HepG2 cells, suggesting that spexin mitigated HFD-induced hepatic steatosis by activating the GALR2, thereby increasing CPT1A, PPARα, SIRT1, KLF9, PGC-1α and PEPCK expression. Taken together, these data suggest that spexin ameliorates NAFLD by improving lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation via activation of GALR2 signaling.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Renal function impairment related to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) presents serious threat to public health. Previous studies suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor-B (VEGF-B) might contribute to renal injury. Therefore, this study investigated the association of serum VEGF-B level with the risk of renal function impairment in T2DM patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum VEGF-B levels were measured in 213 patients with type 2 diabetes and 31 healthy participants. Participants with type 2 diabetes were further divided into a group of 112 participants with eGFR<90 mL/min/1.73m2 and 101 participants with eGFR≥ 90 mL/min/1.73m2. Clinical data were collected, and a binary logistic regression model was employed to test the association between potential predictors and eGFR. RESULTS Serum VEGF-B levels evaluated in type 2 diabetes patients compared with healthy controls. In patients with type 2 diabetes, serum VEGF-B level was positively correlated with triglyceride, serum creatinine and cystatin C while negatively correlated with HDL-C and eGFR. Binary logistic regression showed that serum VEGF-B level was an independent risk factor of eGFR<90 mL/min/1.73m2. CONCLUSIONS Serum VEGF-B level is associated with renal function impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes and may be a potential drug target for diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
It is known that a strong association exists between a suboptimal lifestyle (physical inactivity and sedentary behavior and/or high calorie diet) and increased propensity of developing age-associated diseases, such as obesity and T2DM. Physical exercise can alleviate obesity-induced insulin resistance and T2DM, however, the precise mechanism for this outcome is not fully understood. The endocrine disorder of adipose tissue in obesity plays a critical role in the development of insulin resistance. In this regard, spexin has been recently described as an adipokine that plays an important role in the pathophysiology of obesity-induced insulin resistance and T2DM. In obese states, expression of adipose tissue spexin is reduced, inducing the adipose tissue and skeletal muscle more susceptible to insulin resistance. Emerging evidences point out that exercise can increase spexin expression. In return, spexin could exert the exercise-protective roles to ameliorate insulin resistance, suggesting that spexin is a potential mediator for exercise to ameliorate obesity-induced insulin resistance and T2DM, namely, the beneficial effect of exercise on insulin sensitivity is at least partly mediated by spexin. This review summarizes our and others' recent studies regarding the effects of obesity on adipose tissue spexin induction, along with the potential effect of exercise on this response in obese context, and provides a new insight into the multivariate relationship among exercise, spexin and T2DM. It should be therefore taken into account that a combination of spexin and exercise training is an effective therapeutic strategy for age-associated diseases.

Abstract
Background Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) is capable of regulating lipid and glucose metabolism through its action on adipocytes. However, the beneficial role of GRb1-induced up-regulation of adiponectin in liver steatosis remains unelucidated. Thus, we tested whether GRb1 ameliorates liver steatosis and insulin resistance by promoting the expression of adiponectin. Methods 3T3-L1 adipocytes and hepatocytes were used to investigate GRb1's action on adiponectin expression and triglyceride (TG) accumulation. Wild type (WT) mice and adiponectin knockout (KO) mice fed high fat diet were treated with GRb1 for 2 weeks. Hepatic fat accumulation and function as well as insulin sensitivity was measured. The activation of AMPK was also detected in the liver and hepatocytes. Results GRb1 reversed the reduction of adiponectin secretion in adipocytes. The conditioned medium (CM) from adipocytes treated with GRb1 reduced TG accumulation in hepatocytes, which was partly attenuated by the adiponectin antibody. In the KO mice, the GRb1-induced significant decrease of TG content, ALT and AST was blocked by the deletion of adiponectin. The elevations of GRb1-induced insulin sensitivity indicated by OGTT, ITT and HOMA-IR were also weakened in the KO mice. The CM treatment significantly enhanced the phosphorylation of AMPK in hepatocytes, but not GRb1 treatment. Likewise, the phosphorylation of AMPK in liver of the WT mice was increased by GRb1, but not in the KO mice. Conclusions The up-regulation of adiponectin by GRb1 contributes to the amelioration of liver steatosis and insulin resistance, which further elucidates a new mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of GRb1 on obesity.

Abstract
Age is a major risk factor for developing metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. There is an unprecedented rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes in recent decades. A convincing majority of brain-gut peptides are associated with a higher risk to develop metabolic disorders, and may contribute to the pathophysiology of age-related metabolic diseases. Accumulating basic studies revealed an intriguing role of kisspeptin and galanin involved in the amelioration of insulin resistance in different ways. In patients suffered from obesity and diabetes a significant, sex-related changes in the plasma kisspeptin and galanin levels occurred. Kisspeptin is anorexigenic to prevent obesity, its level is negatively correlative with obesity and insulin resistance. While galanin is appetitive to stimulate food intake and body weight, its level is positively correlative with obesity, HOMA-IR and glucose/triglyceride concentration. In turn, kisspeptin and galanin also distinctly increase glucose uptake and utilization as well as energy expenditure. This article reviews recent evidence dealing with the role of kisspeptin and galanin in the pathophysiology of age-related metabolic diseases. It should be therefore taken into account that the targeted modulation of those peptidergic signaling may be potentially helpful in the future treatment of age-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
A nitrogen-centered radical-mediated strategy for preparing 1,2-trans-2-amino-2-deoxyglycosides in one step was established. The cascade amidoglycosylation was initiated by a benzenesulfonimide radical generated from NFSI under the catalytic reduction of TEMPO. The benzenesulfonimide radical was electrophilically added to the glycals, and then the resulting glycosidic radical was converted to oxocarbenium upon oxidation by TEMPO+, which enabled the following anomeric specific glycosylation.

Abstract
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is considered as a risk factor for several complications, including cardiovascular and neurological disorders. A high methionine low folate (HMLF) diet chronically causes HHcy by accumulating homocysteine in the systemic circulation. Elevated Hcy level is also associated with the incidence of diabetes mellitus. However, very few studies focus on the impact of HMLF diet on glucose homeostasis, and that on gut microbiome profile. HHcy was induced by feeding C57BL/6 mice a HMLF diet for 8 weeks. The HMLF diet feeding resulted in a progressive body weight loss, and development of slight glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in HHcy mice. Notably, the HMLF diet alters the gut microbiome profile and increases the relative abundance of porphyromonadaceae family of bacteria in HHcy mice. These findings provide new insights into the roles of dysregulated glucose homeostasis and gut flora in the pathogenesis of HHcy-related complications.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoporosis are two major healthcare problems worldwide. T2DM is considered to be a risk factor for osteoporosis. Interestingly, several epidemiological studies suggest that bone abnormalities associated with diabetes may differ, at least in part, from those associated with senile or post-menopausal osteoporosis. The growing prevalence that patients with T2DM simultaneously suffer from osteoporosis, puts forward the importance to discuss the relationship between both diseases, as well as to investigate correlative agents to treat them. Emerging evidences demonstrate that neuropeptide galanin is involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM and osteoporosis. Galanin via activation of central GALR2 increases insulin sensitivity as well as bone density and mass in animal models. The disorder of galanin function plays major role in development of both diseases. Importantly, galanin signaling is indispensable for ΔFosB, an AP1 antagonist, to play the bone mass-accruing effects in the ventral hypothalamic neurons of diabetic models. This review summarizes our and other recent studies to provide a new insight into the multivariate relationship among galanin, T2DM and osteoporosis, highlighting the beneficial effect of galanin on the comorbid state of both diseases. These may help us better understanding the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and T2DM and provide useful clues for further inquiry if elevated galanin level may be taken as a biomarker for both conjoint diseases, and GALR2 agonist may be taken as a novel therapeutic strategy to treat both diseases concurrently.

Abstract
Berberine (BBR), which is an active component of Coptis chinensis Franch, has been reported to improve glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in animal and human studies, predominantly via activation of the 5′-adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) pathway and suppression of the inflammation response. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of BBR on AMPK and inflammation remain unclear. In this present study, we found that BBR upregulated SIRT1 expression in 3T3L-1 adipocytes and adipose tissue. Inhibition of SIRT1 blunted the BBR-induced increase in glucose consumption and uptake in adipocytes. The BBR-induced activation of the AMPK pathway and AKT phosphorylation in adipocytes and adipose tissue were also attenuated by inhibition or knockout of Sirt1. The BBR-induced improvement of systemic insulin sensitivity was impaired by Sirt1 knockout in HFD-induced obese mice. The suppressing effects of BBR on systemic and local inflammatory responses, such as serum concentrations and expression of inflammatory cytokines, phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and IKKβ, and the accumulation of F4/80-positive macrophages in adipose tissue were also attenuated in Sirt1 knockout mice. The BBR-induced decrease in PGC-1α acetylation was reversed by inhibition or knockout of Sirt1 in adipocytes and adipose tissue. Together, these results indicate that adipose tissue SIRT1 is a key regulator of the insulin sensitizing and anti-inflammatory effects of BBR, which contributes to the improvement of metabolic dysregulation.

Abstract
Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare and difficult-to-diagnose disease, especially when limited to the jaws. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with spontaneous jaw pain and a large pre-auricular facial swelling overlying the angle of the mandible that was non-responsive to previous antibiotic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment. The diagnosis was confirmed as CNO following evaluation and workup by a multidisciplinary team. The patient exhibited a favourable response to oral alendronate sodium plus vitamin D3 combination treatment. We believe that alendronate sodium is an effective second-line drug for CNO.

Abstract
The spiroindoline skeleton featured with 2,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane exists in various structurally intricate and biologically active monoterpene indole alkaloids. A catalytic asymmetric cascade enamine isomerization/spirocyclization/dearomatization succession to construct the spiroindoline was developed, which employed the indolyl dihydropyridine as a substrate under catalysis of the chiral phosphoric acid. This cascade reaction provided various spiroindolines in both diastereoselective and enantionselective fashions.

Abstract
Ppardδ, one of the lipid-activated nuclear receptor expressed in many cell types to activate gene transcription, also regulates cellular functions other than lipid metabolism. The mechanism regulating the function of antigen-presenting cells during the development of atherosclerosis is not fully understood. Here we aimed to study the involvement of PPARδ in CD11c+ cells in atherosclerosis. We used the Cre-loxP approach to make conditional deletion of Ppard in CD11c+ cells in mice on Apoe-/- background, which were fed with high cholesterol diet to develop atherosclerosis. Ppard deficiency in CD11c+ cells attenuated atherosclerotic plaque formation and infiltration of myeloid-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and T lymphocytes. Reduced lesion was accompanied by reduced activation of dendritic cells, and also a reduction of activation and differentiation of T cells to Th1 cells. In addition, DC migration to lymph node was also attenuated with Ppard deletion. In bone marrow-derived DCs, Ppard deficiency reduced palmitic acid-induced upregulation of co-stimulatory molecules and pro-inflammatory cytokine IL12 and TNFα. Our results indicated PPARδ activation by fatty acid resulted in the activation of myeloid DCs and subsequent polarization of T lymphocytes, which contributed to atherosclerosis in Apoe-/- mice. These findings also reveal the potential regulatory role of PPARδ in antigen presentation to orchestrate the immune responses during atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Modern lifestyle-associated factors, such as high-calorie intake, high-fat diet (HFD), and excessive artificial light, are risk factors for glucose and lipid metabolism disturbances. Melatonin may be beneficial for managing obesity and diabetes; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well elucidated. We aimed to assess whether melatonin has beneficial effects on constant artificial light-induced fat deposition, lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance. Guinea pigs were randomly divided into five experimental groups: control (C), HFD (H), 12 h light (12HL), 24 h light (24HL), and melatonin (M). The majority of indexes, including insulin resistance and obesity, were measured after 10 weeks. AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) pathway expression was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and western blotting. Although insulin resistance and obesity indexes were higher in the 24HL group than in the 12HL group, they were significantly lower in the M group than in the 24HL group. Melatonin treatment markedly upregulated AMPKα, phosphorylated AMPKα (p-AMPKα), PPARα, and carnitine palmitoyl-CoA transferase 1 A (CPT1A) gene and protein expression. Melatonin may alleviate insulin resistance and obesity caused by persistent artificial light exposure in guinea pigs, likely via activation of the AMPKα/PPARα signaling pathway.

Abstract
Ectopic parathyroid adenomas that affect the submandibular region have not been widely reported. We describe a 34-year-old man who presented with a painless swelling of the submandibular region. The identification of hypercalcaemia encouraged us to engage a multidisciplinary team to evaluate further serum changes. Parathyroid hormone analysis, 99mTc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) scintigraphy, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) were done to rule out hyperparathyroidism. Raised parathyroid hormone together with 99mTc-MIBI and SPECT-CT examination were consistent with a tumour caused by the hyperparathyroidism. Removal of the lesion resulted in rapid improvement in serum calcium and parathyroid hormone, and the normalisation of the serum creatinine, concentrations. Histopathological analysis confirmed a parathyroid adenoma. We conclude that ectopic parathyroid adenomas should be considered as part of a differential diagnosis for tumours of the submandibular region.

Abstract
The efficacy of liraglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes accompanied by early-stage nephropathy has remained to be fully elucidated. The present meta-analysis was performed to determine the clinical outcomes associated with liraglutide treatment. The PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases were searched in October 2018 to identify randomized controlled trials of liraglutide for diabetes patients with early-stage nephropathy. The treatment effect was estimated by calculating the mean difference (MD). Heterogeneity was assessed using χ2 and I2 tests. In addition, risk of bias graphs and summaries were used to assess the quality of the trials included. A total of 13 randomized controlled trials were included in the present meta-analysis. In subjects with stage I–II diabetic nephropathy (DN), liraglutide had obvious advantages in lowering the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR; MD=−90.96, 95% confidence interval (CI)=−94.12 to −87.80, P<0.00001], urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER; MD=−64.86, 95% CI=−66.63 to −63.08, P<0.00001), serum creatinine (Scr; MD=−13.67, 95% CI=−17.88 to −9.46, P<0.00001). In subjects with stage-III DN, liraglutide had favorable effects on renal function (UACR: MD=−11.23, 95% CI=−13.14 to −9.32, P<0.00001; UAER: MD=−14.06; 95% CI=−6.93 to −11.18; P<0.00001; Scr: MD=−9.17, 95% CI=−14.61 to −3.72, P=0.0010) and exhibited anti-inflammatory effects (transforming growth factor-β1: P<0.00001; tumor necrosis factor-α: P=0.006; interleukin-6: P<0.00001). Furthermore, liraglutide also reduced the blood lipid levels, body mass index and post-prandial blood glucose. The most common adverse effects of liraglutide were gastrointestinal tract reactions and hypoglycemia, but these symptoms resolved quickly. Liraglutide appears to be effective in reducing proteinuria, improving renal function, producing an anti-inflammatory effect and ameliorating glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic patients with early-stage nephropathy.

Abstract
The bacterial pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a potentially fatal disease, featured with extensive infection, inflammation, and airway dysfunction. With the increasing emerging of drug-resistant strains, new therapeutic strategies beyond canonical antibiotic treatment are pressingly needed. Daphnetin (DAPH) is a natural coumarin derivative with anti-inflammation, anti-microorganism and anti-oxidative properties. However, the protective effect of DAPH on S. aureus-caused pneumonia and the mechanism involved are never explored. Here we show that DAPH treatment conferred substantial protection against S. aureus-induced pneumonia, characterized by the reduced inflammatory responses, the augmented bacterial clearance and the alleviated tissue damage. Our study indicates that DAPH significantly enhanced mTOR-dependent autophagic pathway, leading to the boosted microphage bactericidal activity and the suppressed inflammatory responses. Inhibition of autophagic pathway therefore largely abolished DAPH-elicited repression of inflammatory response and macrophage anti-bacterial capability. Together, we herein not only identify a novel, natural agent to combat bacterial pneumonia, but also underscore the significance of autophagic pathway in orchestrating antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory responses, which may have important implication for the treatment of the infectious diseases, particularly that caused by obstinate, antibiotic-resistant pathogens such as MRSA.

Abstract
The inhibitors for EGF receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TKIs) such as gefitinib have been used as a standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the increasingly occurrence of drug resistance, the associated adverse effects and the enrichment of cancer stem cells significantly impedes its clinical application. β-elemene is a natural sesquiterpene with potent anti-cancer ability, and also it is renowned for its plant-origin, safety and the additive effect with traditional therapies, which prompt us to explore its potential to co-operate with TKIs to achieve greater therapeutic efficacy. Impressively, our study demonstrates that, elemene, in combination of gefitinib, displayed a significantly higher activity in inhibiting lung cancer cellular proliferation, migration and invasion. More importantly, combinative treatment profoundly impaired the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), the stem-like properties and the self-renewal capacity of lung cancer cells, and hence impeded the in vivo tumor development. We also reveal that the synergistic anti-tumor effect of elemene and gefitinib was largely mediated their regulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), an oncogenic histone methyltransferase and gene transcriptional regulator. Thus, our data indicate that combinative treatment of elemene and gefitinib has greater anti-neoplastic activity and greater efficacies in targeting cancer stem-like properties, mainly through regulating the malignant gene modifier and hence the subsequent effector molecules required for cancer progression. The findings may have potential implications for treating aggressive and resistant lung cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report a case series of in vitro fertilization patients with premature ovarian insufficiency, who were treated with oral contraceptives to reduce follicle stimulating hormone levels. METHOD This was a consecutive case series in a tertiary teaching hospital in China. Twenty-two women with refractory and idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency were administered a drospirenone/ethinylestradiol oral contraceptive orally. The main outcome measures were the number of oocytes retrieved and the number of embryos frozen. RESULTS There were total 106 oral contraceptive treatment cycles and 53 oocyte retrieval cycles in 20 patients (91%, 20/22; 2.4 cycles per woman, 53/22). The total number of oocytes retrieved was 48 in 17 patients (77%, 17/22; 2.2 oocytes per woman, 48/22), and the total number of embryos frozen was 33 in 16 patients (73%, 16/22; 1.5 embryos per woman, 33/22). CONCLUSION Oral contraception may be an effective method to induce ovulation for some patients with premature ovarian insufficiency.

Abstract
Head and neck cancer is one of the most frequent human malignancies worldwide, with a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is cellularly and molecularly heterogeneous, with subsets of undifferentiated cancer cells exhibiting stem cell-like properties, called cancer stem cells (CSCs). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition, gene mutation, and epigenetic modification are associated with the formation of cellular plasticity of tumor cells in HNSCC, contributing to the acquisition of invasive, recurrent, and metastatic properties and therapeutic resistance. Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a supportive role in the initiation, progression, and metastasis of head and neck cancer. Stromal fibroblasts, vasculature, immune cells, cytokines, and hypoxia constitute the main components of TME in HNSCC, which contributes not only to the acquisition of CSC properties but also to the recurrence and therapeutic resistance of the malignancies. In this review, we discuss the potential mechanisms underlying the development of cellular plasticity, especially the emergence of CSCs, in HNSCC. We also highlight recent studies implicating the complex interplays among TME components, plastic CSCs, tumorigenesis, recurrence, and therapeutic resistance of HNSCC. Finally, we summarize the treatment modalities of HNSCC and reinforce the novel concept of therapeutic targeting CSCs in HNSCC.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative disorder typified by progressive deterioration of memory and the appearance of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ)-rich senile plaques. Recently we have identified a novel function of a patented formulation of modified Huanglian-Jie-Tu-Tang (HLJDT-M), a Chinese herbal medicine, in treating AD in in vitro studies (US patent No. 9,375,457). HLJDT-M is a formulation composed of Rhizoma Coptitis, Cortex Phellodendri and Fructus Gardeniae without Radix Scutellariae. Here, we assessed the efficacy of HLJDT-M on a triple transgenic mouse model of AD (3XTg-AD). Oral administration of HLJDT-M ameliorated the cognitive dysfunction of 3XTg-AD mice and lessened the plaque burden. In addition, biochemical assays revealed a significant decrease in levels of detergent-soluble and acid-soluble Aβ via decreasing the levels of full length amyloid-β precursor protein (FL-APP) and C-terminal fragments of APP (CTFs) in brain lysates of HLJDT-M-treated mice. HLJDT-M treatment also significantly reduced the levels of FL-APP and CTFs in N2a/SweAPP cells. In contrast, treatment using the classical formula HLJDT did not reduce the memory impairment of 3XTg-AD mice and, rather, increased the Aβ/Fl-APP/CTFs in both animal and cell culture studies. Altogether, our study indicates that HLJDT-M is a promising herbal formulation to prevent and/or cure AD.

Abstract
This meta-analysis was performed to compare the effects and toxicities between irinotecan/platinum (IP) and etoposide/platinum (EP) regimens as the fist-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (E-SCLC). A systematic search was made of MEDLINE, Cochrane, ISI Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. Randomised clinical trials on treatment of E-SCLC with the IP regimens, compared with EP regimens, were reviewed. Studies were pooled to hazard ratio (HR), relative risk (RR) and odds ratio (OR), with 95% confidence interval (CI). Eight trials (enrolling 2089 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Overall survival (OS) and 1-year survival rate were superior in the IP group (HR 0.83; 95% CI 0.75 to 0.91 and RR 1.19; 95% CI 1.06 to 1.34). Grades 3 and 4 anaemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and febrile neutropenia were less frequent in the IP regimens than that in the EP regimens. And grades 3 and 4 nausea/vomiting, diarrheal, anorexia and fatigue were less frequent in the EP regimens. IP combination chemotherapy achieved a superior OS and 1-year survival rate, compared with EP doublets, in patients with E-SCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute renal failure (ARF) after operation of frozen elephant trunk and total arch replacement for acute thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) with mild hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA), and to analyze the long-term survival rate of the patients with ARF. PATIENTS AND METHODS From February 2009 to March 2015, patients with acute TAAD accepted operation of frozen elephant trunk and total arch replacement were enrolled. Those patients who were treated with renal replacement treatment (RRT) before the operation were excluded. The age, gender, cardiovascular disease history, preoperative serum creatinine and extracorporeal circulation duration in operation were recorded. On the basis of requiring RRT after TAAD operation, the patients were divided into ARF group and non-ARF group. The risk factors of ARF after TAAD operation were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis. After completion of clinical follow-up, Kaplan-Meier curve was drawn to analyze five-year survival. RESULTS A total of 524 patients were included in the study. 51 cases of them got postoperative ARF. The incidence was 9.7%. The mortality rate of ARF group in the hospital was significantly higher than non-ARF group (25.5% vs. 3.6%; p<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that there was statistically significant difference in the age, gender, hypertension history, preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L, extracorporeal circulation duration ≥260 min and combined with coronary artery bypass surgery simultaneously (p<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that there were three independent risk factors of ARF after the operation, including hypertension (p=0.031, OR=2.377), preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L (p=0.005, OR=4.451) and extracorporeal circulation duration ≥260 min (p=0.002, OR=3.295). The total five-year survival rate of ARF group after the operation was 56%. There was no statistically significant difference in the five-year survival rate between preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L group and <200 µmol/L group (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ARF after the operation was 9.7%. Preoperative serum creatinine ≥200 µmol/L, hypertension history and extracorporeal circulation duration ≥260 min were independent risk factors of ARF after the operation. The five-year survival rate of ARF after the operation was 56%. The preoperative serum creatinine level had no influence on the postoperative long-term survival.

Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of diaphragm biofeedback training (DBT) for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A total of 40 patients with GERD treated at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital between September 2004 and July 2006 were randomized to receive DBT and rabeprazole proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or rabeprazole alone. The DBT + rabeprazole group received DBT during the 8-week initial treatment; the rabeprazole group did not. During the 6-month follow up, all patients took acid suppression according to their reflux symptoms, and the patients in the DBT + rabeprazole group were required to continue DBT. The primary outcome (used for power analysis) was the amount of acid suppression used at 6 months. Secondary outcomes were reflux symptoms, health-related quality of life (HRQL), and esophageal motility differences after the 8-week treatment compared with baseline. Acid suppression usage significantly decreased in the DBT + rabeprazole group compared with the rabeprazole group at 6 months (P < 0.05). At 8 weeks, reflux symptoms and GERD-HRQL were significantly improved in both groups (P < 0.05), without difference between them. Crural diaphragm tension (CDT) and gastroesophageal junction pressure (GEJP) significantly increased in the DBT + rabeprazole group (P < 0.05), but without change in lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure. There was no significant change in CDT, GEJP, and LES pressure compared with baseline in the rabeprazole group. In conclusion, long-term DBT could reduce acid suppression usage by enhancing the anti-reflux barrier, providing a non-pharmacological maintenance therapy and reducing medical costs for patients with GERD.

Abstract
Background Ginsenoside Rb1 (G-Rb1), the major active constituent of ginseng, improves insulin sensitivity and exerts antidiabetic effects. We tested whether the insulin-sensitizing and antidiabetic effects of G-Rb1 results from a reduction in ectopic fat accumulation, mediated by inhibition of lipolysis in adipocytes. Methods Obese and diabetic db/db mice were treated with daily doses of 20 mg/kg G-Rb1 for 14 days. Hepatic fat accumulation was evaluated by measuring liver weight and triglyceride content. Levels of blood glucose and serum insulin were used to evaluate insulin sensitivity in db/db mice. Lipolysis in adipocytes was evaluated by measuring plasma-free fatty acids and glycerol release from 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with G-Rb1. The expression of relevant genes was analyzed by western blotting, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Results G-Rb1 increased insulin sensitivity and alleviated hepatic fat accumulation in obese diabetic db/db mice, and these effects were accompanied by reduced liver weight and hepatic triglyceride content. Furthermore, G-Rb1 lowered the levels of free fatty acids in obese mice, which may contribute to a decline in hepatic lipid accumulation. Corresponding to these results, G-Rb1 significantly suppressed lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and upregulated the perilipin expression in both 3T3-L1 adipocytes and mouse epididymal fat pads. Moreover, G-Rb1 increased the level of adiponectin and reduced that of tumor necrosis factor-α in obese mice, and these effects were confirmed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Conclusion G-Rb1 may improve insulin sensitivity in obese and diabetic db/db mice by reducing hepatic fat accumulation and suppressing adipocyte lipolysis; these effects may be mediated via the upregulation of perilipin expression in adipocytes.

Abstract
Mitochondrial superoxide flash (mitoflash) reflects quantal and bursting superoxide production and concurrent membrane depolarization triggered by transient mitochondrial permeability transition in many types of cells, at the level of single mitochondria. Here we investigate reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated modulation of mitoflash activity in cardiac myocytes and report a surprising finding that hypochlorite ions potently and preferentially triggered mitoflashes in the subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM), whereas hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) elicited mitoflash activity uniformly among SSM and interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM). The striking SSM mitoflash response to hypochlorite stimulation remained intact in cardiac myocytes from NOX2-deficient mice, excluding local NOX2-mediated ROS as the major player. Furthermore, it occurred concomitantly with SSM Ca(2+) accumulation and local Ca(2+) and CaMKII signaling played an important modulatory role by altering frequency and unitary properties of SSM mitoflashes. These findings underscore the functional heterogeneity of SSM and IFM and the oxidant-specific responsiveness of mitochondria to ROS, and may bear important ramifications in devising therapeutic strategies for the treatment of oxidative stress-related heart diseases.

Abstract
A 16-year-old female with fever was admitted to our hospital. On admission, her serum IgM antibody against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was positive. Then, the disease aggravated and acute kidney injury occurred gradually. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) was confirmed by serum test and kidney biopsy. The patient was treated with oral methylprednisolone. Along with the disappearance of the IgM anti-EBV antibody, the AAV also relieved without relapse during follow-up for half a year. Although a previous study indicated that there was a high positive rate of ANCA in the sera positive for IgM antibodies to EBV and EBV infection might trigger the relapse of AAV, this is the first case of incipient AAV associated with acute EBV infection. One possible explanation might be that EBV infection stimulated the production of ANCA.
