Quantification of left atrial strain in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy using cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking. Clin Radiol 2024; 79:544-552. [PMID: 38599951 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2024.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) dysfunction is involved in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) strain imaging is a feasible and reproducible tool for examining global and regional LA functions, as well as left ventricular (LV) function in IIM patients. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and reproducibility of LA strain occurrence and strain rate for LA function assessment using CMR in IIM cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 IIM and 42 healthy control cases were included. Baseline ventricular function was comparatively assessed in both groups. LA strain occurrence and strain rate were examined by cine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] utilizing an in-house semiautomated technique. LA global function indexes were quantitated, including reservoir, conduit, and booster-pump functions. RESULTS A total of 78 participants were enrolled in this study. There was no significant difference in left/right ventricular routine functions between IIM patients and control individuals (p>0.05); the same results (p>0.05) was also observed between patients with high hs-cTnI and normal. However, LV mass index had significant difference (p1=0.003, p2<0.01). Compared with IIM patients and control individuals, only total strain (εs) (p4=0.046) and passive strain (εe) (p4=0.002) showed significant difference, and in cases with high hs-cTnI and normal hs-cTnI, there are differences for εs (p3=0.012) and εe (p4=0.047). The strongest association was found between εe and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (r=0.581, p<0.01). CONCLUSION IIM cases have altered LA reservoir and conduit functions, and LA strain could reflect LA function.

Remnant cholesterol is associated with hip BMD and low bone mass in young and middle-aged men: a cross-sectional study. J Endocrinol Invest 2024; 47:1657-1665. [PMID: 38183565 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-023-02279-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Remnant cholesterol (RC) is a contributor to cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. However, the specific relationship between RC and bone metabolism remains unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationships of RC with hip bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of low bone mass. METHODS Physical examination data was collected from men aged < 60 years as part of the Kailuan Study between 2014 and 2018. The characteristics of the participants were compared between RC quartile groups. A generalized linear regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between RC and hip BMD and a logistic regression model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for low bone mass. Additional analyses were performed after stratification by body mass index (BMI) (≥ or < 24 kg/m2). Sensitivity analyses were performed by excluding individuals who were taking lipid-lowering therapy or had cancer, cardiovascular diseases, or diabetes. RESULTS Data from a total of 7,053 participants were included in the analysis. After adjustment for confounding factors, RC negatively correlated with hip BMD (β = - 0.0079, 95% CI: - 0.0133, - 0.0025). The risk of low bone mass increased from the lowest to the highest RC quartile, with ORs of 1 (reference), 1.09 (95% CI: (0.82, 1.44), 1.35 (95%CI: 1.02, 1.77), and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.09, 1.89) for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively (P for trend = 0.004) in the fully adjusted model. Compared to RC < 0.80 mmol/l group, the risk of low bone mass increased 39% in RC ≥ 0.80 mmol/l group (P < 0.001). The correlation between RC and hip BMD was stronger in participants with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 group (β = - 0.0159, 95% CI: - 0.0289, - 0.0029). The results of sensitivity analyses were consistent with the main results. CONCLUSION We have identified a negative correlation between serum RC and hip BMD, and a higher RC concentration was found to be associated with a greater risk of low bone mass in young and middle-aged men.

Intra-islet glucagon signalling regulates beta-cell connectivity, first-phase insulin secretion and glucose homoeostasis. Mol Metab 2024; 85:101947.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterised by the loss of first-phase insulin secretion. We studied mice with β-cell selective loss of the glucagon receptor (Gcgrfl/fl X Ins-1Cre), to investigate the role of intra-islet glucagon receptor (GCGR) signalling on pan-islet [Ca2+]I activity and insulin secretion. METHODS Metabolic profiling was conducted on Gcgrβ-cell-/- and littermate controls. Crossing with GCaMP6f (STOP flox) animals further allowed for β-cell specific expression of a fluorescent calcium indicator. These islets were functionally imaged in vitro and in vivo. Wild-type mice were transplanted with islets expressing GCaMP6f in β-cells into the anterior eye chamber and placed on a high fat diet. Part of the cohort received a glucagon analogue (GCG-analogue) for 40 days and the control group were fed to achieve weight matching. Calcium imaging was performed regularly during the development of hyperglycaemia and in response to GCG-analogue treatment. RESULTS Gcgrβ-cell-/- mice exhibited higher glucose levels following intraperitoneal glucose challenge (control 12.7 mmol/L ± 0.6 vs. Gcgrβ-cell-/- 15.4 mmol/L ± 0.0 at 15 min, p = 0.002); fasting glycaemia was not different to controls. In vitro, Gcgrβ-cell-/- islets showed profound loss of pan-islet [Ca2+]I waves in response to glucose which was only partially rescued in vivo. Diet induced obesity and hyperglycaemia also resulted in a loss of co-ordinated [Ca2+]I waves in transplanted islets. This was reversed with GCG-analogue treatment, independently of weight-loss (n = 8). CONCLUSION These data provide novel evidence for the role of intra-islet GCGR signalling in sustaining synchronised [Ca2+]I waves and support a possible therapeutic role for glucagonergic agents to restore the insulin secretory capacity lost in T2D.

Occupational noise and genetic variants in stress hormone biosynthesis-based genes and rates of blood lipid changes in China: A five-year longitudinal study. Int J Hyg Environ Health 2024; 260:114404. [PMID: 38878408 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2024.114404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Lipid profiles are influenced by both noise and genetic variants. However, little is known about the associations of occupational noise and genetic variants with age-related changes in blood lipids, a crucial event in the initiation and evolution of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to evaluate the associations of blood lipid change rates with occupational noise and genetic variants in stress hormone biosynthesis-based genes. This cohort was established in 2012 and 2013 and was followed up until 2017. A total of 952 participants were included in the final analysis and all of them were categorized to two groups, the exposed group and control group, according to the exposed noise levels in their working area. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in stress hormone biosynthesis-based genes were genotyped. Five physical examinations were conducted from 2012 to 2017 and lipid measurements were repeated five times. The estimated annual changes (EACs) of blood lipid were calculated as the difference in blood lipid levels between any 2 adjacent examinations divided by their time interval (year). The generalized estimating equations for repeated measures analyses with exchangeable correlation structures were used to evaluate the influence of exposing to noise (versus being a control) and the SNPs mentioned above on the EACs of blood lipids. We found that the participants experienced accelerated age-related decline in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels as they were exposed to noise (β = -0.38, 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.66 to -0.10, P = 0.007), after adjusting for work duration, gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, and pack-years. This trend was only found in participants with COMT-rs165815 TT genotype (β = -1.19, 95% CI, -1.80 to -0.58, P < 0.001), but not in those with the CC or CT genotypes. The interaction of noise exposure and rs165815 was marginally significant (Pinteraction = 0.010) after multiple adjustments. Compared with DDC-rs11978267 AA genotype carriers, participants carrying rs11978267 GG genotype had decreased EAC of triglycerides (TG) (β = -5.06, 95% CI, -9.07 to -1.05, P = 0.013). Participants carrying DBH-rs4740203 CC genotype had increased EAC of total cholesterol (TC) (β = 1.19, 95% CI, 0.06 to 2.33, P = 0.039). However, these findings were not statistically significant after multiple adjustments. These results indicated that Occupational noise exposure was associated with accelerated age-related decreases in HDL-C levels, and the COMT-rs165815 genotype appeared to modify the effect of noise exposure on HDL-C changes among the occupational population.

Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 219:49-63. [PMID: 38608823 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that ferroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is involved in the development of aortic dissection (AD) and that histone methylation regulates this process. SP2509 acts as a specific inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), which governs a variety of biological processes. However, the effect of SP2509 on VSMC ferroptosis and AD remains to be elucidated. This aim of this study was to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of SP2509-mediated histone methylation on VSMC ferroptosis. Here, a mouse model of AD was established, and significantly reduced levels of H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 (target of SP2509) were found in the aortas of AD mice. In VSMCs, SP2509 treatment led to a dose-dependent increase in H3K4me2 levels. Furthermore, we found that SP2509 provided equivalent protection to ferrostatin-1 against VSMC ferroptosis, as evidenced by increased cell viability, decreased cell death and lipid peroxidation. RNA-sequencing analysis and subsequent experiments revealed that SP2509 counteracted cystine deficiency-induced response to inflammation and oxidative stress. More importantly, we demonstrated that SP2509 inhibited the expression of TFR and ferritin to reduce intracellular iron levels, thereby effectively blocking the process of ferroptosis. Therefore, our findings indicate that SP2509 protects VSMCs from multiple stimulus-induced ferroptosis by reducing intracellular iron levels, thereby preventing lipid peroxidation and cell death. These findings suggest that SP2509 may be a promising drug to alleviate AD by reducing iron deposition and VSMC ferroptosis.

Abstract
We present the fascinating phenomena of resonant radiation emitted by transient rogue waves in cubic and quadratic nonlinear media, particularly those shed from Peregrine solitons, one of the main wavepackets used today to model real-world rogue waves. In cubic media, it turns out that the emission of radiation from a Peregrine soliton can be attributed to the presence of higher-order dispersion, but is affected by the intrinsic local longitudinal variation of the soliton wavenumber. In quadratic media, we reveal that a two-color Peregrine rogue wave can resonantly radiate dispersive waves even in the absence of higher-order dispersion, subjected to a phase-matching mechanism that involves the second-harmonic wave, and to a concomitant difference-frequency generation process. In both cubic and quadratic media, we provide simple analytic criteria for calculating the radiated frequencies in terms of material parameters, showing excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Abstract
O3 phase layered oxides are highly attractive cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high capacity and decent initial Coulombic efficiency. However, their rate capability and long cycling life are unsatisfactory due to the narrow Na+ transfer channel and irreversible phase transitions of O3 phase during sodiation/desodiation process. Constructing O3/P2 multiphase structures has been proven to be an effective strategy to overcome these challenges. In this study, we synthesized bi-phasic structured O3/P2 Na(Ni2/9Fe1/3Cu1/9Mn1/3)1-xMnxO2 (x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) materials through Mn doping during sodiation process. Benefiting from surface P2 phase layer with the enhanced Na+ transfer dynamics and high structural stability, the Na(Ni2/9Fe1/3Cu1/9Mn1/3)0.98Mn0.02O2 (NFCM-M2) cathode delivers a reversible capacity of 139.1 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C, and retains 71.4 % of its original capacity after 300 cycles at 1 C. Our work provides useful guidance for designing multiphase cathodes and offers new insights into the structure-performance correlation for sodium-ion cathode materials.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS), a devastating cerebrovascular accident, presents with high mortality and morbidity. Following IS onset, a cascade of pathological changes, including excitotoxicity, inflammatory damage, and blood-brain barrier disruption, significantly impacts prognosis. However, current clinical practices struggle with early diagnosis and identifying these alterations. Metabolomics, a powerful tool in systems biology, offers a promising avenue for uncovering early diagnostic biomarkers for IS. By analyzing dynamic metabolic profiles, metabolomics can not only aid in identifying early IS biomarkers but also evaluate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) efficacy and explore its mechanisms of action in IS treatment. Animal studies demonstrate that TCM interventions modulate specific metabolite levels, potentially reflecting their therapeutic effects. Identifying relevant metabolites in cerebral ischemia patients holds immense potential for early diagnosis and improved outcomes. This review focuses on recent metabolomic discoveries of potential early diagnostic biomarkers for IS. We explore variations in metabolites observed across different ages, genders, disease severity, and stages. Additionally, the review examines how specific TCM extracts influence IS development through metabolic changes, potentially revealing their mechanisms of action. Finally, we emphasize the importance of integrating metabolomics with other omics approaches for a comprehensive understanding of IS pathophysiology and TCM efficacy, paving the way for precision medicine in IS management.

Abstract
Introduction The drawbacks of using antibiotics as feed additives for blue foxes have gradually become apparent; moreover, thymol has wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity and has the potential to replace antibiotics in various animals. However, there are few reports on the effects of thymol on blue foxes. Methods This study aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of thymol on the growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, serum biochemical indicators, intestinal morphology, and gut microbiota of blue foxes. Twenty-four male blue foxes (120 ± 5 d) of similar weight (6.05 ± 0.16 kg) were randomly divided into 4 groups. 0, 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg thymol were added to the basal diets of groups C, L, M, and H, respectively. Results Compared with those in the C group, the addition of 100 mg/kg thymol to the diet significantly increased organic matter (OM) digestibility, crude protein (CP) digestibility, immunoglobulin (Ig) A, IgM, the VH of the duodenum, the CD of the jejunum, the VH of the ileum, and the VH/CD of the ileum (P < 0.05) and strongly significantly increased IgG (P < 0.01). The addition of 200 mg/kg thymol to the diet increased the VH/CD of the duodenum (P < 0.05). The addition of 300 mg/kg thymol to the diet significantly increased the VH and CD of the jejunum (P < 0.05). The addition of 200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg thymol to the diets increased the final weight (FW) (P < 0.05). Adding 100 mg/kg thymol significantly increased the levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and catalase (CAT) compared with those in the other groups (P < 0.05). 16S rRNA gene detection revealed that thymol can change the abundances of Bifidobacterium, Fusobacterium, Allobaculum, Streptococcus, Megasphaera, and Lactobacillus in the gut. Conclusion The addition of thymol to diets can increase the abundance of Bifidobacterium, Fusobacterium, and Allobaculum, which may contribute to improving the growth performance of blue foxes.

Abstract
We report a search for time variations of the solar ^{8}B neutrino flux using 5804 live days of Super-Kamiokande data collected between May 31, 1996, and May 30, 2018. Super-Kamiokande measured the precise time of each solar neutrino interaction over 22 calendar years to search for solar neutrino flux modulations with unprecedented precision. Periodic modulations are searched for in a dataset comprising five-day interval solar neutrino flux measurements with a maximum likelihood method. We also applied the Lomb-Scargle method to this dataset to compare it with previous reports. The only significant modulation found is due to the elliptic orbit of the Earth around the Sun. The observed modulation is consistent with astronomical data: we measured an eccentricity of (1.53±0.35)%, and a perihelion shift of (-1.5±13.5) days.

Modification of χ_{c1}(3872) and ψ(2S) Production in pPb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=8.16 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 132:242301. [PMID: 38949352 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.132.242301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
The LHCb Collaboration measures production of the exotic hadron χ_{c1}(3872) in proton-nucleus collisions for the first time. Comparison with the charmonium state ψ(2S) suggests that the exotic χ_{c1}(3872) experiences different dynamics in the nuclear medium than conventional hadrons, and comparison with data from proton-proton collisions indicates that the presence of the nucleus may modify χ_{c1}(3872) production rates. This is the first measurement of the nuclear modification factor of an exotic hadron.

Cell Mol Biol Lett 2024; 29:87. [PMID: 38867189 PMCID: PMC11170814 DOI: 10.1186/s11658-024-00600-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes (APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4) show different AD susceptibility. Previous studies indicated that individuals carrying the APOE2 allele reduce the risk of developing AD, which may be attributed to the potential neuroprotective role of APOE2. However, the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of APOE2 is still unclear. METHODS We analyzed single-nucleus RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing data of APOE2 and APOE3 carriers from the Religious Orders Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP) cohort. We validated the findings in SH-SY5Y cells and AD model mice by evaluating mitochondrial functions and cognitive behaviors respectively. RESULTS The pathway analysis of six major cell types revealed a strong association between APOE2 and cellular stress and energy metabolism, particularly in excitatory and inhibitory neurons, which was found to be more pronounced in the presence of beta-amyloid (Aβ). Moreover, APOE2 overexpression alleviates Aβ1-42-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species in SH-SY5Y cells. These protective effects may be due to ApoE2 interacting with estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα). ERRα overexpression by plasmids or activation by agonist was also found to show similar mitochondrial protective effects in Aβ1-42-stimulated SH-SY5Y cells. Additionally, ERRα agonist treatment improve the cognitive performance of Aβ injected mice in both Y maze and novel object recognition tests. ERRα agonist treatment increased PSD95 expression in the cortex of agonist-treated-AD mice. CONCLUSIONS APOE2 appears to enhance neural mitochondrial function via the activation of ERRα signaling, which may be the protective effect of APOE2 to treat AD.

Abstract
A combination of searches for a new resonance decaying into a Higgs boson pair is presented, using up to 139 fb^{-1} of pp collision data at sqrt[s]=13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The combination includes searches performed in three decay channels: bb[over ¯]bb[over ¯], bb[over ¯]τ^{+}τ^{-}, and bb[over ¯]γγ. No excess above the expected Standard Model background is observed and upper limits are set at the 95% confidence level on the production cross section of Higgs boson pairs originating from the decay of a narrow scalar resonance with mass in the range 251 GeV-5 TeV. The observed (expected) limits are in the range 0.96-600 fb (1.2-390 fb). The limits are interpreted in the type-I two-Higgs-doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model, and constrain parameter space not previously excluded by other searches.

Abstract
Background A new aging biomarker epigenetic clock has been developed. There exists a close link between aging and gut microbiota, which may be mediated by inflammatory cytokines. However, the relationship between the epigenetic clock, gut microbiota, and the mediating substances is unclear. Methods Two large genome-wide association meta-analyses were analyzed by two-sample Mendelian randomization. The results between gut microbiota and epigenetic clock were investigated using the four methods (Inverse variance weighted, MR-Egger, weighted median, MR-PRESSO). Genetic correlation was measured by Linked disequilibrium score regression (LDSC). The correctness of the study direction was checked by the Steiger test. Cochran's Q statistic and MR-Egger intercept were used as sensitivity analyses of the study. The two-step method was used to examine the mediating role of inflammatory cytokines. We use the Benjamini-Hochberg correction method to correct the P value. Results After FDR correction, multiple bacterial genera were significantly or suggestively associated with four epigenetic clocks (GrimAge, HannumAge, IEAA, PhenoAge). And we detected several inflammatory factors acting as mediators of gut microbiota and epigenetic clocks. Conclusion This study provides genetic evidence for a positive and negative link between gut microbiota and aging risk. We hope that by elucidating the genetic relationship and potential mechanisms between aging and gut microbiota, we will provide new avenues for continuing aging-related research and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies on the efficacy of temozolomide (TMZ) in the treatment of Metastatic pheochromocytoma / paraganglioma (MPP) patients. And it remains unclear which MPP patients may benefit from TMZ treatment. METHODS This was a prospective study. MPP patients were enrolled. Patients were treated with TMZ until disease progression or intolerable toxicities. The primary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included biochemical response rate progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. We compared the difference between effective and ineffective groups, to explore which patients are more suitable for TMZ treatment. RESULTS 62 patients with MPP were enrolled and tumor response were evaluated in 54 patients. The DCR was 83% (35/42), and the ORR was 24% (10/41) among the progressive patients. PFS was 25.2 ± 3.1 months. The most common adverse event was nausea (41/55). We found that 92.9% (13/14) of patients with MGMT methylation greater than 7% respond to treatment. For the patients with MGMT methylation less than 7%, Ki-67 index could be used to guide the use of TMZ in these patients. Among the patients with Ki-67 index less than 5%, 66% (8/12) patients showed respond to treatment, and only 33% (4/12) patients with Ki-67 index more than 5% showed respond to TMZ. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that TMZ is a potential choice for the treatment of MPP with the high ability on disease control and well tolerability. We recommended to MGMT methylation analysis test and Ki-67 index to guide TMZ application.

Abstract
Aging is often accompanied by irreversible decline in body function, which causes a large number of age-related diseases and brings a huge economic burden to society and families. Many traditional Chinese medicines have been known to extend lifespan, but it has still been a challenge to isolate a single active molecule from them and verify the mechanism of anti-aging action. Drugs that inhibit senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) are called "senomorphics". In this study, arctigenin (ATG), a senomorphic, was screened from the Chinese medicine Fructus arctii using K6001 yeast replicative lifespan. Autophagy, oxidative stress, and telomerase activity are key mechanisms related to aging. We found that ATG may act through multiple mechanisms to become an effective anti-aging molecule. In exploring the effect of ATG on autophagy, it was clearly observed that ATG significantly enhanced autophagy in yeast. We further verified that ATG can enhance autophagy by targeting protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), leading to an increased lifespan. Meanwhile, we evaluated the antioxidant capacity of ATG and found that ATG increased the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, thereby reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels to improve the survival of yeast under oxidative stress. In addition, ATG was able to increase telomerase activity by enhancing the expression of EST1, EST2, and EST3 genes in yeast. In conclusion, ATG exerts anti-aging effects through induction of autophagy, antioxidative stress, and enhancement of telomerase activity in yeast, which is recognized as a potential molecule with promising anti-aging effects, deserving in-depth research in the future.

Abstract
AIMS Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-related leukoencephalopathy is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease caused by CSF1R gene mutations. This study aimed to identify and investigate the effect of a novel intronic mutation (c.1754-3C>G) of CSF1R on splicing. METHODS A novel intronic mutation was identified using whole-exome sequencing. To investigate the impact of this mutation, we employed various bioinformatics tools to analyze the transcription of the CSF1R gene and the three-dimensional structure of its encoded protein. Furthermore, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to validate the findings. RESULTS A novel mutation (c.1754-3C>G) in CSF1R was identified, which results in exon 13 skipping due to the disruption of the 3' splice site consensus sequence NYAG/G. This exon skipping event was further validated in the peripheral blood of the mutation carrier through RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. Protein structure prediction indicated a disruption in the tyrosine kinase domain, with the truncated protein showing significant structural alterations. CONCLUSIONS Our findings underscore the importance of intronic mis-splicing mutations in the diagnosis and management of CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy.

Abstract
The relationship between peripheral inflammatory markers, their dynamic changes, and the disease severity of myasthenia gravis (MG) is still not fully understood. Besides, the possibility of using it to predict the short-term poor outcome of MG patients have not been demonstrated. This study aims to investigate the relationship between peripheral inflammatory markers and their dynamic changes with Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) classification (primary outcome) and predict the short-term poor outcome (secondary outcome) in MG patients. The study retrospectively enrolled 154 MG patients from June 2016 to December 2021. The logistic regression was used to investigate the relationship of inflammatory markers with MGFA classification and determine the factors for model construction presented in a nomogram. Finally, net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were utilized to evaluate the incremental capacity. Logistic regression revealed significant associations between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) and MGFA classification (p = 0.013, p = 0.032, p = 0.017, respectively). Incorporating dynamic changes of inflammatory markers into multivariable models improved their discriminatory capacity of disease severity, with significant improvements observed for NLR, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and AISI in NRI and IDI. Additionally, AISI was statistically associated with short-term poor outcome and a prediction model incorporating dynamic changes of inflammatory markers was constructed with the area under curve (AUC) of 0.953, presented in a nomograph. The inflammatory markers demonstrate significant associations with disease severity and AISI could be regarded as a possible and easily available predictive biomarker for short-term poor outcome in MG patients.

Abstract
N 6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is the mostly prevalent modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, is involved in gene expression regulation and many RNA metabolism processes. Accurate prediction of m6A modification is important for understanding its molecular mechanisms in different biological contexts. However, most existing models have limited range of application and are species-centric. Here we present PEA-m6A, a unified, modularized and parameterized framework that can streamline m6A-Seq data analysis for predicting m6A-modified regions in plant genomes. The PEA-m6A framework builds ensemble learning-based m6A prediction models with statistic-based and deep learning-driven features, achieving superior performance with an improvement of 6.7% to 23.3% in the area under precision-recall curve compared with state-of-the-art regional-scale m6A predictor WeakRM in 12 plant species. Especially, PEA-m6A is capable of leveraging knowledge from pretrained models via transfer learning, representing an innovation in that it can improve prediction accuracy of m6A modifications under small-sample training tasks. PEA-m6A also has a strong capability for generalization, making it suitable for application in within- and cross-species m6A prediction. Overall, this study presents a promising m6A prediction tool, PEA-m6A, with outstanding performance in terms of its accuracy, flexibility, transferability, and generalization ability. PEA-m6A has been packaged using Galaxy and Docker technologies for ease of use and is publicly available at https://github.com/cma2015/PEA-m6A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cannabis has been shown to impact driving due to changes produced by delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis. Current legal thresholds for blood THC while driving are based predominantly on evidence utilizing smoked cannabis. It is known that levels of THC in blood are lower after eating cannabis as compared to smoking yet the impact of edibles on driving and associated blood THC has never been studied. METHODS Participants drove a driving simulator before and after ingesting their preferred legally purchased cannabis edible. In a counterbalanced control session, participants did not consume any THC or cannabidiol (CBD). Blood was collected for measurement of THC and metabolites as well as CBD. Subjective experience was also assessed. RESULTS Participants consumed edibles with, on average, 7.3 mg of THC, which is less than the maximum amount available in a single retail package in Ontario, providing an ecologically valid test of cannabis edibles. Compared to control, cannabis edibles produced a decrease in mean speed 2 h after consumption but not at 4 and 6 h. Under dual task conditions in which participants completed a secondary task while driving, changes in speed were not significant after the correction for multiple comparison. No changes in standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP; 'weaving'), maximum speed, standard deviation of speed or reaction time were found at any time point or under either standard or dual task conditions. Mean THC levels were significantly increased, relative to control, after consuming the edible but remained relatively low at approximately 2.8 ng/mL 2 h after consumption. Driving impairment was not correlated with blood THC. Subjective experience was altered for 7 h and participants were less willing/able to drive for up to 6 h, suggesting that the edible was intoxicating. INTERPRETATION This is the first study of the impact of cannabis edibles on simulated driving. Edibles were intoxicating as revealed by the results of subjective assessments (VAS), and there was some impact on driving. Detection of driving impairment after the use of cannabis edibles may be difficult.

Abstract
Platinum-based neoadjuvant therapy represented by cisplatin is widely employed in treating Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), a particularly aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Nevertheless, the emergence of cisplatin resistance presents a formidable challenge to clinical chemotherapy efficacy. Herein, we revealed the critical role of tumor microenvironment (TME) derived exosomal miR-3960 and phosphorylation at the S16 site of PIMREG in activating NF-κB signaling pathway and promoting cisplatin resistance of TNBC. Detailed regulatory mechanisms revealed that SOD1-upregulated fibroblasts secrete miR-3960 and are then transported into TNBC cells via exosomes. Within TNBC cells, miR-3960 targets and inhibits the expression of BRSK2, an AMPK protein kinase family member. Furthermore, we emphasized that BRSK2 contributes to ubiquitination degradation of PIMREG and modulates subsequent activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway by mediating PIMREG phosphorylation at the S16 site, ultimately affects the cisplatin resistance of TNBC. In conclusion, our research demonstrated the crucial role of SOD1high fibroblast, exosomal miR-3960 and S16 site phosphorylated PIMREG in regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway and cisplatin resistance of TNBC. These findings provided significant potential as biomarkers for accurately diagnosing cisplatin-resistant TNBC patients and guiding chemotherapy strategy selection.

Abstract
In this paper, Voronoi cell finite element method (VCFEM) based on assumed flux hybrid formulation has been presented for heat conduction problem of particle reinforced composites material. The heat fluxes satisfying a priori internal thermal balance are directly approximated independently in the matrix and the inclusion respectively. The temperatures on element boundary and matrix-inclusion interface are interpolated by nodal temperature. The thermal balance on the interelement boundary and matrix-inclusion interface is relaxed and introduced into the functional by taking the temperature as Lagrange multiplier. In this way, a functional containing two variables of heat flux and temperature is proposed. Full field heat flux and effective thermal conductivity are obtained. Feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach are verified through several numerical examples.

Abstract
Down syndrome (DS), also known as trisomy 21, is one of the most common chromosomal disorders associated with intellectual disability. Mouse models are valuable for mechanistic and therapeutic intervention studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate astroglial anomalies in Dp16, a widely used DS mouse model. Brain sections were prepared from one-month-old Dp16 mice and their littermates, immunostained with an anti-GFAP or anti-S100B antibody, and imaged to reconstruct astroglial morphology in three dimensions. No significant difference in the number of astrocytes was found in either the hippocampal CA1 region or cortex between Dp16 and WT mice. However, the average astroglial volume in Dp16 was significantly (P < 0.05) greater than that in WT, suggesting the astroglial activation. Reanalysis of the single-nucleus RNA sequencing data indicated that the genes differentially expressed between WT and Dp16 astrocytes were associated with synapse organization and neuronal projection. In contrast, in vitro cultured neonatal astrocytes did not exhibit significant morphological changes. The expression of Gfap in in vitro cultured Dp16 astrocytes was not increased as it was in in vivo hippocampal tissue. However, after treatment with lipopolysaccharides, the inflammatory response gene IFNβ increased significantly more in Dp16 astrocytes than in WT astrocytes. Overall, our results showed that the increase in astrogliogenesis in DS was not apparent in the early life of Dp16 mice, while astrocyte activation, which may be partly caused by increased responses to inflammatory stimulation, was significant. The inflammatory response of astrocytes might be a potential therapeutic target for DS intellectual disability.

Non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas (non-ccRCCs) encompass diverse malignant and benign tumors. Refinement of differential diagnosis biomarkers, markers for early prognosis of aggressive disease, and therapeutic targets to complement immunotherapy are current clinical needs. Multi-omics analyses of 48 non-ccRCCs compared with 103 ccRCCs reveal proteogenomic, phosphorylation, glycosylation, and metabolic aberrations in RCC subtypes. RCCs with high genome instability display overexpression of IGF2BP3 and PYCR1. Integration of single-cell and bulk transcriptome data predicts diverse cell-of-origin and clarifies RCC subtype-specific proteogenomic signatures. Expression of biomarkers MAPRE3, ADGRF5, and GPNMB differentiates renal oncocytoma from chromophobe RCC, and PIGR and SOSTDC1 distinguish papillary RCC from MTSCC. This study expands our knowledge of proteogenomic signatures, biomarkers, and potential therapeutic targets in non-ccRCC.

Abstract
Angular correlations between heavy quarks provide a unique probe of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Results are presented of a measurement of the azimuthal angle correlations between muons originating from semileptonic decays of heavy quarks produced in 5.02 TeV Pb+Pb and pp collisions at the LHC. The muons are measured with transverse momenta and pseudorapidities satisfying p_{T}^{μ}>4 GeV and |η^{μ}|<2.4, respectively. The distributions of azimuthal angle separation Δϕ for muon pairs having pseudorapidity separation |Δη|>0.8, are measured in different Pb+Pb centrality intervals and compared to the same distribution measured in pp collisions at the same center-of-mass energy. Results are presented separately for muon pairs with opposite-sign charges, same-sign charges, and all pairs. A clear peak is observed in all Δϕ distributions at Δϕ∼π, consistent with the parent heavy-quark pairs being produced via hard-scattering processes. The widths of that peak, characterized using Cauchy-Lorentz fits to the Δϕ distributions, are found to not vary significantly as a function of Pb+Pb collision centrality and are similar for pp and Pb+Pb collisions. This observation will provide important constraints on theoretical descriptions of heavy-quark interactions with the quark-gluon plasma.
