PLANT COMMUNICATIONS 2024; 5:100721. [PMID: 37735868 PMCID: PMC10873877 DOI: 10.1016/j.xplc.2023.100721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) secretes transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) to activate rice susceptibility (S) genes, causing bacterial blight (BB), as well as resistance (R) genes, leading to defense against BB. This activation follows a gene-for-gene paradigm that results in an arms race between the TALE of the pathogen and effector-binding elements (EBEs) in the promoters of host genes. In this study, we characterized a novel TALE, designated Tal6b/AvrXa27A, that activates the rice S gene OsSWEET11a and the rice R gene Xa27. Tal6b/AvrXa27A is a member of the AvrXa27/TalAO class and contains 16 repeat variable diresidues (RVDs); one RVD is altered and one is deleted in Tal6b/AvrXa27A compared with AvrXa27, a known avirulence (avr) effector of Xa27. Tal6b/AvrXa27A can transcriptionally activate the expression of Xa27 and OsSWEET11a via EBEs in their corresponding promoters, leading to effector-triggered immunity and susceptibility, respectively. The 16 RVDs in Tal6b/AvrXa27A have no obvious similarity to the 24 RVDs in the effector PthXo1, but EBETal6b and EBEPthXo1 are overlapped in the OsSWEET11a promoter. Tal6b/AvrXa27A is prevalent among Asian Xoo isolates, but PthXo1 has only been reported in the Philippine strain PXO99A. Genome editing of EBETal6b in the OsSWEET11a promoter further confirmed the requirement for OsSWEET11a expression in Tal6b/AvrXa27A-dependent susceptibility to Xoo. Moreover, Tal6b/AvrXa27A resulted in higher transcription of Xa27 than of OsSWEET11a, which led to a strong, rapid resistance response that blocked disease development. These findings suggest that Tal6b/AvrXa27A has a dual function: triggering resistance by activating Xa27 gene expression as an avirulence factor and inducing transcription of the S gene OsSWEET11a, resulting in virulence. Intriguingly, Tal6b/AvrXa27A, but not AvrXa27, can bind to the promoter of OsSWEET11a. The underlying recognition mechanism for this binding remains unclear but appears to deviate from the currently accepted TALE code.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association between waist circumference (WC) and ischemic stroke (IS). Methods: The data for the present study were from the prospective cohort study of China Kadoorie Biobank in Qingdao. Using baseline information and IS events of the participants, the Cox proportional hazard regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to analyze the association between WC and IS. Results: A total of 33 355 participants were included in the study, with 302 008.88 person-years of follow-up. A total of 1 093 new cases of IS were observed. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that compared to the respondents with normal WC (male <85.0 cm, female <80.0 cm), respondents with excessive WC (male ≥85.0 cm, female ≥80.0 cm) had a 78% higher risk of IS incidence [hazard ratio(HR)=1.78, 95%CI: 1.51-2.10], and the risk increased by 72% (HR=1.72, 95%CI: 1.40-2.12) and 83% (HR=1.83, 95%CI: 1.40-2.39) in men and women. According to the RCS, the increase in WC and the risk of IS showed an "S" trend of nonlinear dose-response relationship. Conclusions: The risk of IS would increase with the WC. Keeping a normal WC is important for preventing IS.

Abstract
Oral leukoplakia (OLK) is a common type of potentially malignant disorder. Early identification of the malignancy potential leads to a better management of OLK and prediction of development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, there has been no effective biomarker to assess the risk of malignancy in OLK. Genomic copy number alteration (CNA) is a complex chromosomal structural variation in the genome and has been identified as a potential biomarker in multiple cancers. This study aimed to develop a predictive model for the malignant transformation risk of OLK by copy number analysis. A total of 431 OLK samples with long-term follow-up (median follow-up of 67 mo) from multiple academic centers were analyzed for CNAs. CNA events increased with the severity of hyperplasia, mild dysplasia, moderate dysplasia, and severe dysplasia. More CNA events were present in patients with OLK who later developed OSCC than in those with OLK who did not. By multivariate Cox regression analysis, the OLK of the CNA scorehigh group showed an increased risk of malignant transformation than the CNA scorelow group (P < 0.001). A CNA score model was developed to accurately predict the prognosis (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.879; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.799-0.959) and was validated using data from 2 external centers (AUC = 0.836, 95% CI, 0.683-0.989; AUC = 0.876, 95% CI, 0.682-1.000), and all of them showed better prediction performances than histopathological grade in assessing the transformation risk of OLK. Furthermore, we performed CNA models among 4 subgroups of OLK with hyperplasia, mild dysplasia, moderate dysplasia, and severe dysplasia and found that CNA score can accurately predict malignant transformation of different subgroups. CNA score may be a useful biomarker to predict malignant transformation of OLK. Subtyping of OLK by the CNA score could contribute to better management of OLK and predicting development of OSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Studies related to air pollutants and spontaneous abortion in urban northwestern China are scarce, and the main exposure windows of pollutants acting on pregnant women are unclear. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. METHODS Data were collected from pregnant women in Tongchuan City from 2018 to 2019. A total of 289 cases of spontaneous abortion and 1156 cases of full-term labor were included and analyzed using a case-control study. Logistic regression models were developed to explore the relationship between air pollutants and spontaneous abortion after Chi square analysis and Air pollutant description. RESULTS O3 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.028) is a risk factor for spontaneous abortion throughout pregnancy. PM2.5 (OR = 1.015), PM10 (OR = 1.010), SO2 (OR = 1.026), and NO2 (OR = 1.028) are risk factors for spontaneous abortion in the 30 days before the last menstrual period. PM2.5 (OR = 1.015), PM10 (OR = 1.013), SO2 (OR = 1.036), and NO2 (OR = 1.033) are risk factors for spontaneous abortion in the 30-60 days before the last menstrual period. PM2.5 (OR = 1.028), PM10 (OR = 1.013), SO2 (OR = 1.035), and NO2 (OR = 1.059) are risk factors for spontaneous abortion in the 60-90 days before the last menstrual period. CONCLUSION Exposure to high levels of air pollutants may be a cause of increased risk of spontaneous abortion, especially in the first trimester of the last menstrual period.

Abstract
PURPOSE Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is the most frequent global cause of nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic people. In clinical practice, An effective and mild treatment for IMN patients with subnephrotic proteinuria has been adopted. Colquhounia root tablet (CRT) is a traditional Chinese medicine that is widely used in China to treat glomerulopathies. In this study, the effectiveness and safety of CRT in the treatment of IMN with subnephrotic proteinuria have been determined by reviewing the clinical records of 44 patients with IMN. METHODS Retrospective analysis of IMN patients with subnephrotic proteinuria treated with CRT in combination with ACEI/ARB or ACEI/ARB alone. The remission rate (complete or partial remission) was the main outcome observed, and proteinuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum albumin levels, and adverse effects were the secondary outcomes. RESULTS This clinical trial included 44 patients, and the overall remission rates at months 6, 9, and 12 after treatment were 68.2% versus 27.3% (p = 0.016), 72.7% versus 36.4% (p = 0.015), and 77.3% versus 36.4% (p = 0.006) in the treatment and control groups, respectively. The application of CRT treatment was an independent predictor of proteinuria remission (p = 0.024). In addition, in patients who were positive for phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibodies, the overall remission rate was higher in the treatment group than in the control group after 9 months of treatment (75% versus 23.08%, p = 0.017). CONCLUSION This retrospective study illustrates that, based on supportive therapy, CRT could be effective in the treatment of IMN with subnephrotic proteinuria with a good safety profile at the same time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the difference between proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN) and hip replacement (HR) for femoral intertrochanteric fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of the differences in operative time, length of stay, postoperative Harris score, and postoperative mortality between patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture treated by PFBN and HR admitted to Jinzhai County People's Hospital from October 2020 to September 2022 was performed. RESULTS A total of 56 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture, 26 with PFBN and 30 with HR, were included in the study. There were no differences in the length of surgery, pre- and post-operative hemoglobin, or post-operative Harris score at 3 months between the two groups. Compared to the HR group, the PFBN group had a lower total cost, shorter hospital stays, and lower mortality but a longer ambulation time, with a difference of 3.36 weeks. CONCLUSIONS PFBN may be a promising new treatment for femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with tyrosine kinase inhibitors are standard treatments for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This phase III RENOTORCH study compared the efficacy and safety of toripalimab plus axitinib versus sunitinib for the first-line treatment of patients with intermediate-/poor-risk advanced RCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with intermediate-/poor-risk unresectable or metastatic RCC were randomized in a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive toripalimab (240 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks) plus axitinib (5 mg orally twice daily) or sunitinib [50 mg orally once daily for 4 weeks (6-week cycle) or 2 weeks (3-week cycle)]. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by an independent review committee (IRC). The secondary endpoints were investigator-assessed PFS, overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS A total of 421 patients were randomized to receive toripalimab plus axitinib (n = 210) or sunitinib (n = 211). With a median follow-up of 14.6 months, toripalimab plus axitinib significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 35% compared with sunitinib as assessed by an IRC [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49-0.86; P = 0.0028]. The median PFS was 18.0 months in the toripalimab-axitinib group, whereas it was 9.8 months in the sunitinib group. The IRC-assessed ORR was significantly higher in the toripalimab-axitinib group compared with the sunitinib group (56.7% versus 30.8%; P < 0.0001). An OS trend favoring toripalimab plus axitinib was also observed (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.40-0.92). Treatment-related grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 61.5% of patients in the toripalimab-axitinib group and 58.6% of patients in the sunitinib group. CONCLUSION In patients with previously untreated intermediate-/poor-risk advanced RCC, toripalimab plus axitinib provided significantly longer PFS and higher ORR than sunitinib and had a manageable safety profile TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04394975.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to use optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to analyze the effects of repeated low-level red-light (LLLT) therapy on macular retinal thickness and the microvascular system in children with myopia to evaluate the safety of this therapy. METHODS This prospective study included 40 school-age children with myopia (80 eyes), aged 7-14 years, who received therapy using a LLLT instrument. At baseline and therapy for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, all children underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examinations, including slit-lamp examination, uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent degree, axial length, and OCTA. The vessel densities of the superficial retinal capillary plexus, macular inner retinal thickness, and full-layer retinal thickness were measured. RESULTS The macular inner retinal thickness increased at 1 month and remained unchanged thereafter, It differed significantly in nine areas at 1, 3, and 6 months compared to the thicknesses before therapy (P < 0.05); however, we observed no significant differences between the different time points (P > 0.05). The macular full-layer retinal thickness increased at 1 month and remained unchanged thereafter; the changes showed significant differences at 1 month and 3 months compared to before therapy, for the inner nasal region (P < 0.05). The other eight areas showed significant differences at 1, 3, and 6 months compared with before therapy (P < 0.05); however, no significant difference was observed between the different time points after therapy (P > 0.05). The vessel density of the superficial retinal capillary plexus did not differ significantly among the four groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS LLLT therapy was safe. The school-aged children exhibited macular thickening after LLLT therapy, which had no significant effect on macular microcirculation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a major threat to patient safety and are associated with significant economic burden. Calculating the costs attributable to HAIs is challenging given the various sources of bias. Although HAIs as a reasonably preventable medical harm should have been closely linked to medical insurance incentives, there was little linkage between HAIs and medicare in western China owing to the lack of economic evaluation data. The present study aimed to generate estimates of the attributable costs associated with HAIs and the magnitude of costs growth. METHODS In this cohort study designed horizontally and vertically from 2016 to 2022, we compared outcomes of randomly sampling patients with HAIs and individually matched patients without HAIs in two cohorts at a 6-year interval at 34 hospitals in western China. The primary outcome was the direct medical cost for the entire hospital stay, converted to US dollars ($ for the benchmark year), discounted at 3% annually, and estimated separately in the full analysis set (FAS) and the per protocol set (PPS). We used multiple linear regression to adjust the discounted costs and to assess subgroups effects within each cohort. We nested a dynamic vertical comparison of costs attributable to HAIs between the front and rear cohorts. RESULTS A total of 230 patients with HAIs in 2016 and 204 patients with HAIs in 2022 were enrolled. After a 1:1 match, all 431 pairs were recruited as FAS, of which 332 pairs as PPS met all matching restrictions. Compared to the 2016 cohort in FAS, the patients with HAIs in 2022 had a significantly older age (64.40 ± 16.45 years), higher repeat hospitalization rate (65 [32.02%] of 203), and lower immune function (69 [33.99%] of 203). The discounted costs and adjusted-discounted costs for patients with HAIs in the 2022 cohort were found to be significantly higher than those of patients without HAIs (discounted costs: $5484.60 [IQR 8426.03] vs $2554.04(4530.82), P < 0.001; adjusted-discounted costs: $5235.90 [3772.12] vs $3040.21(1823.36), P < 0.001, respectively), and also higher than those of patients with HAIs in the 2016 cohort (discounted costs: $5484.60 [8426.03] vs $3553.00 [6127.79], P < 0.001; adjusted-discounted costs: $5235.90 [3772.12] vs $3703.82 [3159.14], P < 0.001, respectively). In vertical comparison of PPS, the incremental costs of the 2022 cohort are 1.48 times higher than those of the 2016 cohort ($964.63(4076.15) vs $652.43 [2533.44], P = 0.084). CONCLUSIONS This meticulously designed study in western China has successfully and accurately examined the economic burden attributable to HAIs. Their rapidly increasing tendency poses a serious challenge to patients, hospitals, and the medical insurance. A closer linkage between HAIs and ongoing motivating system changes is urgently needed in western China.

Abstract
Most acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are caused by atherosclerotic plaque rupture leading to blocked arteries. Targeted nanodelivery systems deliver imaging agents or drugs to target sites for diagnostic imaging or the treatment of various diseases, providing new insights for the detection and treatment of atherosclerosis. Based on the pathological characteristics of atherosclerosis, a hydrogen peroxide-sensitive bimodal probe PPIS@FC with integrated diagnosis and treatment function was designed. Bimodal probes Fe3O4@SiO2-CDs (FC) were prepared by coupling superparamagnetic iron oxide and carbon quantum dots synthesized with citric acid, and self-assembled with hydrogen peroxide stimulus-responsive amphiphilic block polymer PGMA-PEG modified with simvastatin (Sim) and target molecule ISO-1 to obtain drug-loaded micelles PGMA-PEG-ISO-1-Sim@FC (PPIS@FC). PPIS@FC could release Sim and FC in an H2O2-triggered manner, achieving the goal of releasing drugs using the special microenvironment at the plaque. At the same time, in vivo magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging results proved that PPIS@FC possessed targeting ability, magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging effects. The results of the FeCl3 and ApoE-/- model showed that PPIS@FC had an excellent therapeutic effect and in vivo safety. Therefore, dual-modality imaging drug delivery systems with ROS response will become a promising strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Objective The incidence of stroke worldwide is increasing year by year. With the enhancement of public health awareness, people's demand for the quality of stroke rehabilitation is getting higher and higher, so better quality care measures are needed in the treatment of stroke. Based on this, this paper explores the impact of a new type of nursing care measure, the complementary health care model combined with condition tracking, on stroke patients. Methods 238 stroke patients were randomly divided into a conventional group (n=119) and a combined group (n=119). 238 stroke patients were randomly divided into conventional group (n=119) and combined group (n=119). The conventional group received routine care, in which doctors and nursing carried out their own work without cooperation after the patients were admitted to the hospital; the combined group received a complementary health care model and condition tracking, in which doctors and nurses jointly checked the rooms, discussed cases, jointly formulated treatments and nursing care plans, and jointly formulated the patients' discharge and rehabilitation plans after the patients were admitted to the hospital. Before the intervention, at the time of discharge, and 6 months after discharge, the neurological function of the patients in both groups was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Fugl-Meyer (FMA) scale, the cognitive function of the patients in both groups was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale and the Measured Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the cognitive function of the patients in both groups was assessed using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSS) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MCA) scale. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) to assess self-efficacy, Exercise Adherence Questionnaire (EAQ) to assess adherence to functional exercise and Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQoL-12) to assess the quality of life of patients in both groups, and the self-developed satisfaction with nursing care to assess patients' satisfaction with the care model. Results Before the intervention, there was no difference in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Mental State Examination (MMSE), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Exercise Adherence Questionnaire (EAQ) and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale-12 (SSQoL-12) scores between the two groups (P > .05). At discharge and six months later, NIHSS scores continued to decrease in both groups, with the joint group being lower than the conventional group (P < .05); scores for all other items continued to increase, with the joint being higher than the conventional group (P < .05). Satisfaction with care was higher in the combined group than in the conventional group (P < .05). Conclusion The complementary healthcare model combined with condition tracking can effectively promote the prognosis of rehabilitation of stroke patients, and has a positive effect in promoting the recovery of neurological and cognitive functions, strengthening self-efficacy, and improving the quality of life, which can be promoted in the clinic.

[PMID: 37742875 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Medicinal nature is a unique index in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to measure the efficacy of Chinese medicines. Hyperthyroidism, qi-Yin deficiency syndrome in TCM was regarded as the classic heat syndrome category in Chinese medicine. Moreover, it is extensively employed to evaluate the medicinal nature of herbs within the framework of the 'hot/cold' nature theory. Ginseng, red and black ginseng (GS, RG, and BG, respectively), and ginseng leaves (GL) are qi-tonifying herbs with different medicinal natures and were just right used to examine the underlying mechanisms between the nature of ginseng medicines and their tonifying effect. AIM OF THE STUDY To examine the different mechanisms between different natures of ginseng medicines and their qi-tonifying action by comparison of their effects on hyperthyroidism and elucidate the nature of BG. MATERIALS AND METHODS The hyperthyroidism model was induced through the oral administration of Euthyrox. Steroids belonging to hypothalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA) and hypothalamic pituitary gonadal (HPG) axes were determined with an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) method. Furthermore, the biochemical indexes associated with energy metabolism, including the serum cyclic nucleotide system and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathways were examined. Additionally, the gut microbiota was subjected to 16 S rDNA sequencing, followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). RESULTS GS, RG, and BG could treat hyperthyroidism rats by regulating the hypothalamus pituitary thyroid (HPT) axis. The RG also had a strong regulatory effect on the HPA and HPG axis. The BG has a regulatory effect on the HPG axis. GL had a strong regulatory effect on HPA, HPG, and HPT axes. GS had the ability to regulate Firmicutes/Bacteroides of the intestinal flora, and GS, RG, and BG ameliorated the decrease of SCFAs induced by hyperthyroidism. According to PCA, BG is similar to GS, indicating a mild-warm nature. CONCLUSION The nature of BG was attributable to mild-warm and the GL with cold nature is best for the treatment of hyperthyroidism based on PCA analysis with all the bio-indices. In addition, the mechanism study indicated that the qi-tonifying effects of ginseng medicines are involved in HPT, HPA, and HPG axes to alleviate hyperthyroidism. In addition, the primary indexes reflected different natures of ginseng medicines are cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), AchE, and substance metabolism associated with Na+-K+-ATPase and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, which are potential biomarkers for evaluation on the natures of qi-tonifying medicines.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the temporal trend of Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) and its symptoms after laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was employed. The study included primary rectal (adenocarcinoma) cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic anterior resection at Tongji Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2020. Complete medical records and follow-up data at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months postoperatively were available for all patients. A total of 1454 patients were included, of whom 1094 (75.2%) were aged ≤65 years, and 597 (41.1%) were females. Among them, 1040 cases (71.5%) had an anastomosis-to-anus distance of 0-5cm, and 86 cases (5.9%) received neoadjuvant treatment. All patients completed the Chinese version of the LARS questionnaire and their LARS occurrence and specific symptom information were recorded at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months postoperatively. Considering past literature and clinical experience, further subgroup analyses were performed to explore the potential impact factors on severe LARS, including anastomosis level, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, postoperative adjuvant therapy, and the presence of preventive stoma. Results: The occurrence rates of LARS at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months postoperatively were 78.5% (1142/1454), 71.4% (1038/1454), 55.0% (799/1454), 45.7% (664/1454), and 45.7% (664/1454), respectively (χ2=546.180, P<0.001). No statistically significant difference was observed between the 12-month and 18-month time points (P>0.05). When compared with the symptoms at 3 months, the occurrence rates of gas incontinence [1.7% (24/1454) vs. 33.9% (493/1454)], liquid stool incontinence [3.9% (56/1454) vs. 41.9% (609/1454)], increased stool frequency [79.6% (1158/1454) vs. 95.9% (1395/1454)], stool clustering [74.3% (1081/1454) vs. 92.9% (1351/1454)], and stool urgency [46.5% (676/1454) vs. 78.7% (1144/1454)] in the LARS symptom spectrum were significantly alleviated at 12 months (all P<0.05) and remained stable beyond 12 months (all P>0.05). With the extension of postoperative time, the incidence rates of severe LARS exhibited a decreasing trend in different subgroups, of anastomosis level, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, postoperative adjuvant therapy, and the presence of preventive stoma, and reached stability at 12 months postoperatively (all P>0.05). Conclusion: LARS and its specific symptom profile showed a trend of gradual improvement over time up to 1 year postoperatively, and stabilized after more than 1 year. Increased stool frequency and stool clustering are the most common features of abnormal bowel dys function, which improve slowly after surgery.

Sun L, Liu L, Liang D, Liu L. SOCS5, targeted by miR-155-5p, plays a negative regulatory role in pulmonary hypertension through inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:52. [PMID: 38267898 PMCID: PMC10809471 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-024-02857-6] [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: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a chronic pulmonary vascular disease and causes massive deaths. Here, we intended to investigate the function and mechanism of SOCS5 in PH. We engineered a hypoxia-induced PH model in mice. HE staining were implemented to evaluate pathological alterations in the lung tissues. The potential mechanism of SOCS5 in regulating hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) function was explored in vitro. RT-qPCR and western blot revealed that the level of SOCS5 was decreased both in PH mice and hypoxia-induced HPASMCs. Functional assays were performed for confirming the role of SOCS5 in modulating the cell phenotype and JAK2/STAT3 pathway in HPASMCs. Results revealed that overexpression of SOCS5 suppressed proliferation, migration and contraction of HPASMCs and negatively regulated the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in HPASMCs under hypoxia in vitro, while knockdown of SOCS5 accelerated it. As evidenced by mechanism studies, SOCS5 was targeted and regulated by miR-155-5p, hence affecting on HPASMC proliferation, migration and contraction. These outcomes indicated that the decreased level of SOCS5 in hypoxia-induced HPASMCs promoted the cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell contraction through activating JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Moreover, SOCS5 was targeted by miR-155-5p. All in all, our work hinted that miR-155-5p/SOCS5/JAK2/STAT3 axis played a crucial part in PH.

First Measurement of the Decay Asymmetry in the Pure W-Boson-Exchange Decay Λ_{c}^{+}→Ξ^{0}K^{+}. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 132:031801.

Abstract
Based on 4.4 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected at the center-of-mass energies between 4.60 and 4.70 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the pure W-boson-exchange decay Λ_{c}^{+}→Ξ^{0}K^{+} is studied with a full angular analysis. The corresponding decay asymmetry is measured for the first time to be α_{Ξ^{0}K^{+}}=0.01±0.16(stat)±0.03(syst). This result reflects the noninterference effect between the S- and P-wave amplitudes. The phase shift between S- and P-wave amplitudes has two solutions, which are δ_{p}-δ_{s}=-1.55±0.25(stat)±0.05(syst) rad or 1.59±0.25(stat)±0.05(syst) rad.

Abstract
Objective: To investigated the safety and efficacy of donor-derived CD19+ or sequential CD19+ CD22+ chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods: The data of 22 patients with B-ALL who relapsed after allo-HSCT and who underwent donor-derived CAR-T therapy at the Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University and the 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of the People's Liberation Army of China from September 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints were event-free survival (EFS), complete remission (CR) rate, and Grade 3-4 adverse events. Results: A total of 81.82% (n=18) of the 22 patients achieved minimal residual disease-negative CR after CAR-T infusion. The median follow-up time was 1037 (95% CI 546-1509) days, and the median OS and EFS were 287 (95% CI 132-441) days and 212 (95% CI 120-303) days, respectively. The 6-month OS and EFS rates were 67.90% (95% CI 48.30%-84.50%) and 58.70% (95% CI 37.92%-79.48%), respectively, and the 1-year OS and EFS rates were 41.10% (95% CI 19.15%-63.05%) and 34.30% (95% CI 13.92%-54.68%), respectively. Grade 1-2 cytokine release syndrome occurred in 36.36% (n=8) of the patients, and grade 3-4 occurred in 13.64% of the patients (n=3). Grade 2 and 4 graft-versus-host disease occurred in two patients. Conclusion: Donor-derived CAR-T therapy is safe and effective in patients with relapsed B-ALL after allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Excellent stability is an essential premise for organic diradicals to be used in organic electronic and spintronic devices. We have attached two tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) radical building blocks to the two sides of perylene bisimide (PBI) bridges and obtained two regioisomeric diradicals (1,6-TTM-PBI and 1,7-TTM-PBI). Both of the isomers show super stability rather than the monomeric TTM under ambient conditions, due to the increased conjugation and the electron-withdrawing effects of the PBI bridges. The diradicals show distinct and reversible multistep redox processes, and a spectro-electrochemistry investigation revealed the generation of organic mixed-valence (MV) species during reduction processes. The two diradicals have singlet ground states, very small singlet-triplet energy gaps (ΔES-T ) and a pure open-shell character (with diradical character y0 =0.966 for 1,6-TTM-PBI and 0.967 for 1,7-TTM-PBI). This work opens a window to developing very stable diradicals and offers the opportunity of their further application in optical, electronic and magnetic devices.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the drug-resistant gene characteristics and core genome characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae (CR-ECL) in rural residents of Weifang City, Shandong Province. Methods: Fecal samples were collected from rural community residents in Weifang City, Shandong Province in 2017. Drug-resistant strains were screened using a carbapenem-resistant enterobacter chromogenic medium. CR-ECL positive strains were acquired via Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry(MALDI-TOFMS) analysis. The antibiotic resistance phenotype of CR-ECL was determined using a microbroth dilution assay. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and analysis were conducted, along with an examination of the immediate vicinity of the blaNDM gene and phylogenetic analysis of the strains. Results: A total of 628 fecal samples were collected and tested, of which 6 were CR-ECL positive (detection rate 0.96%), all exhibiting multiple drug resistance (MDR) phenotypes. Six CR-ECL strains had four MLST genotypes (ST), all of which carried multiple drug resistance genes (blaNDM-1, blaNDM-5, etc.) and virulence genes (acrA, acrB, entB, fepC, etc.). There were mobile genetic elements ISAba125, TN3-IS3000, TN3 and IS5 in the genetic environment surrounding the blaNDM gene. The phylogenetic tree showed that the multi-locus sequence typing of the core genome (cgMLST) was consistent with the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) results. The cgMLST results showed that the allele differences between strains 2BC0101B and 2BC0251B, 2BG0561B and 2BI0221B were 2 and 1, respectively. The SNPs results showed that the above two pairs of bacteria also clustered together. It was found that the strains of chicken fecal samples in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database were located in the center of the evolutionary tree, and the local sequences could be traced back to American human sequences. Conclusion: Multidrug-resistant CR-ECL is detected in rural community residents in Weifang City, Shandong Province.

Effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease: a prespecified secondary analysis from the empa-kidney trial. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2024; 12:39-50. [PMID: 38061371 PMCID: PMC7615591 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(23)00321-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between asthma and COVID-19 mortality remains inconclusive. We examined the association between asthma and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19. STUDY DESIGN A case-control study based on a surveillance cohort in Harris County, Texas. METHODS Using the data of 21,765 patients who reported having at least one chronic health condition, we investigated the association between asthma and COVID-19 severity, characterized primarily by hospitalization and death. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to estimate the multivariable odds ratio (mOR) and its 95 % confidence interval (CI) of COVID-19 severity associated with asthma and other chronic lung diseases, adjusting for demographic and other comorbidities. A P-value < 0.005 was considered statistically significant after correcting multiple testing. RESULTS In total, 3034 patients (13.9 %) had asthma, and 774 (3.56 %) had other chronic lung diseases. The case death rate among patients with asthma and other chronic lung diseases was 0.75 % and 19.0 %, respectively. Compared to patients without the respective conditions, patients with asthma had lower odds of death (mOR = 0.44, 95 % CI: 0.27-0.69), while patients with other chronic lung diseases had higher odds of hospitalization (mOR = 2.02, 95 % CI: 1.68-2.42) and death (mOR = 1.95, 95 % CI: 1.52-2.49) (P-values < 0.005). Risk factors for COVID-19 mortality included older age, male gender, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, active cancer, and chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS The public health surveillance data suggested that preexisting asthma was inversely associated with COVID-19 mortality.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate evidence on loneliness interventions that have been assessed and found effective, both for remediation and addressing fundamental causes of loneliness; to consider why population-level primary prevention strategies targeting fundamental causes are necessary, and determine areas for future research; and to outline an integrated approach to prevention considering roles for the Public Health system. METHOD We conducted a review of systematic reviews to identify effective loneliness interventions and classified them in our Population-Prevention Matrix according to public health impact, amount of individual effort required, and level of prevention. We also highlighted emerging interventions that have yet to be formally evaluated. RESULTS We identified a range of preventive or therapeutic approaches, and a dearth of population-level primary prevention interventions targeting fundamental causes of loneliness. Filling this gap will be essential in addressing the loneliness epidemic, and we provided emerging examples of population-level primary prevention interventions that may inform future efforts. CONCLUSION Based on evidence to date, we suggest an integrated approach to prevention with significant roles for the US Public Health system, including its function as Chief Health Strategist to lead and guide multisystem approaches to loneliness prevention, with a particular focus on population-level primary prevention strategies.

Abstract
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) comprises a group of rare, inherited disorders with abnormal enamel formation. Ameloblastin (AMBN), the second most abundant enamel matrix protein (EMP), plays a critical role in amelogenesis. Pathogenic biallelic loss-of-function AMBN variants are known to cause recessive hypoplastic AI. A report of a family with dominant hypoplastic AI attributed to AMBN missense change p.Pro357Ser, together with data from animal models, suggests that the consequences of AMBN variants in human AI remain incompletely characterized. Here we describe 5 new pathogenic AMBN variants in 11 individuals with AI. These fall within 3 groups by phenotype. Group 1, consisting of 6 families biallelic for combinations of 4 different variants, have yellow hypoplastic AI with poor-quality enamel, consistent with previous reports. Group 2, with 2 families, appears monoallelic for a variant shared with group 1 and has hypomaturation AI of near-normal enamel volume with pitting. Group 3 includes 3 families, all monoallelic for a fifth variant, which are affected by white hypoplastic AI with a thin intact enamel layer. Three variants, c.209C>G; p.(Ser70*) (groups 1 and 2), c.295T>C; p.(Tyr99His) (group 1), and c.76G>A; p.(Ala26Thr) (group 3) were identified in multiple families. Long-read AMBN locus sequencing revealed these variants are on the same conserved haplotype, implying they originate from a common ancestor. Data presented therefore provide further support for possible dominant as well as recessive inheritance for AMBN-related AI and for multiple contrasting phenotypes. In conclusion, our findings suggest pathogenic AMBN variants have a more complex impact on human AI than previously reported.

Geng Z, Dou H, Liu J, Zhao G, An Z, Liu L, Zhao N, Zhang H, Wang Y. GhFB15 is an F-box protein that modulates the response to salinity by regulating flavonoid biosynthesis. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 338:111899. [PMID: 37865208 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2023.111899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
An exposure to extremely saline conditions can lead to significant oxidative damage in plants. Flavonoids, which are potent antioxidants, are critical for the scavenging of reactive oxygen species caused by abiotic stress. In the present study, the cotton F-box gene GhFB15 was isolated and characterized. The expression of GhFB15 was rapidly induced by salt as well as by exogenous hormones (ETH, MeJA, ABA, and GA). An analysis of subcellular localization revealed GhFB15 is mainly distributed in nuclei. Overexpression of GhFB15 adversely affected the salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis plants as evidenced by decreased seed germination and seedling growth, whereas the silencing of GhFB15 improved the salt tolerance of cotton plants. Furthermore, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of VIGS-GhFB15 and TRV:00 plants. Many of the differentially expressed genes were associated with the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Moreover, lower flavonoid contents and higher levels of H2O2 and O2- were observed in the transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Conversely, the VIGS-GhFB15 cotton plants had relatively higher flavonoid contents, but lower H2O2 and O2- levels. These results suggest that GhFB15 negatively regulates salt tolerance, and silencing GhFB15 results in increased flavonoid accumulation and improved ROS scavenging.

Chem Biol Drug Des 2024; 103:e14403. [PMID: 37984986 DOI: 10.1111/cbdd.14403] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a prevalent plasma cell malignancy in the blood system that remains incurable. Given the abnormally high expression of c-Maf in most MM patients, targeting c-Maf presents an attractive therapeutic approach for treating MM malignancies. In this study, we employed a combined strategy involving molecular docking-based virtual screening, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA) free energy calculation on existing FDA-approved drugs. Six compounds were selected for further experimental assay: vemurafenib, sorafenib, sildenafil, fluvastatin, erlotinib, and glimepiride. Among these compounds, sorafenib and glimepiride exhibited significant inhibition of myeloma cell proliferation in the RPMI-8226 cell line. Moreover, both compounds simultaneously downregulated c-Maf protein expression to induce G1 phase arrest and apoptosis in myeloma cells. Collectively, sorafenib and glimepiride may be considered promising candidates for developing more potent c-Maf inhibitors in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.
