Abstract
Inflammation and fibrosis often occur in the kidney after acute injury, resulting in chronic kidney disease and consequent renal failure. Recent studies have indicated that lymphangiogenesis can drive renal inflammation and fibrosis in injured kidneys. However, whether and how this pathogenesis affects the contralateral kidney remain largely unknown. In our study, we uncovered a mechanism by which the contralateral kidney responded to injury. We found that the activation of mineralocorticoid receptors and the increase in vascular endothelial growth factor C in the contralateral kidney after unilateral ureteral obstruction could promote lymphangiogenesis. Furthermore, mineralocorticoid receptor activation in lymphatic endothelial cells resulted in the secretion of myofibroblast markers, thereby contributing to renal fibrosis. We observed that this process could be attenuated by administering the mineralocorticoid receptor blocker eplerenone, which, prevented the development of fibrotic injury in the contralateral kidneys of rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction. These findings offer valuable insights into the intricate mechanisms underlying kidney injury and may have implications for the development of therapeutic strategies to mitigate renal fibrosis in the context of kidney disease.

Abstract
A direct electrochemical sensor based on covalent organic frameworks (COFs)/platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) composite was fabricated for the detection of ofloxacin (OFX) in water. Firstly, the COF material was synthesized via the condensation reaction of 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TAPB) with terephthalaldehyde (TPA) and integrated with PtNPs by in situ reduction. Then, TAPB-TPA-COFs/PtNPs composite was loaded onto the surface of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by drip coating to construct the working electrode (TAPB-TPA-COFs/PtNPs/GCE). The electrochemical performance of TAPB-TPA-COFs/PtNPs/GCE showed a significant improvement compared with that of TAPB-TPA-COFs/GCE, leading to a 3.2-fold increase in the electrochemical signal for 0.01 mM OFX. Under optimal conditions, the TAPB-TPA-COFs/PtNPs/GCE exhibited a wide linear range of 9.901 × 10-3-1.406 µM and 2.024-15.19 µM with a detection limit of 2.184 × 10-3 µM. The TAPB-TPA-COFs/PtNPs/GCE-based electrochemical sensor with excellent performance provides great potential for the rapid and trace detection of residual OFX.

Abstract
Resolvin (Rv) and lipoxin (Lx) play important regulative roles in the development of several inflammation-related diseases. The dysregulation of their metabolic network is believed to be closely related to the occurrence and development of asthma. The Hyssopus Cuspidatus Boriss extract (SXCF) has long been used as a treatment for asthma, while the mechanism of anti-inflammatory and anti-asthma action targeting Rv and Lx has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of SXCF on Rv, Lx in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized asthmatic mice. The changes of Rv, Lx before and after drug administration were analyzed based on high sensitivity chromatography-multiple response monitoring (UHPLC-MRM) analysis and multivariate statistics. The pathology exploration included behavioral changes of mice, IgE in serum, cytokines in BALF, and lung tissue sections stained with H&E. It was found that SXCF significantly modulated the metabolic disturbance of Rv, Lx due to asthma. Its modulation effect was significantly better than that of dexamethasone and rosmarinic acid which is the first-line clinical medicine and the main component of Hyssopus Cuspidatus Boriss, respectively. SXCF is demonstrated to be a potential anti-asthmatic drug with significant disease-modifying effects on OVA-induced asthma. The modulation of Rv and Lx is a possible underlying mechanism of the SXCF effects.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the changes of platelet mitochondrial mass and quantity during perioperative period in elderly patients, and assess their predictive values on the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD). Methods: In this prospective study, 162 elderly patients scheduled for abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled from November 2021 to January 2022 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School. Among them, 20 patients [10 males, 10 females, aged (71.4±6.8) years] developed POD within 3 days after surgery (POD group), and another 20 patients[12 males, 8 females, aged (67.7±5.3) years] who did not develope POD were selected as controls (control group) using propensity score matching method. Blood samples were collected preoperatively, at the end of surgery and on the first postoperative day. Platelets were extracted and mitochondrial mass was detected with flow cytometry. Transmission electron microscopy was used to determine mitochondrial quantity. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the value of mitochondrial mass and quantity in predicting the occurrence of POD. Results: The mean fluorescence intensities of platelet mitochondrial mass were 193±46, 236±61, 264±53 preoperatively, at the end of surgery and on the first postoperative day in the POD group, respectively. The corresponding values were 209±61, 191±67 and 201±56 in the control group. The platelet mitochondrial mass of patients in the POD group was significantly increased on the first postoperative day compared to preoperative levels (P<0.001). In contrast, there was no significant difference in the control group (P=0.410). Patients in the POD group had higher platelet mitochondrial mass than patients in the control group on the first postoperative day(P=0.002). Meanwhile, platelets from patients in the POD group showed significantly higher number of mitochondria than platelets from patients in the control group [3 (2, 4) vs 2 (1, 2), P<0.001]. According to the ROC curve of platelet on the first postoperative day, at a mitochondrial mass cut-off value of>275.35, the sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve to detect the occurrence of POD were 55%, 90% and 0.800 (95%CI: 0.666-0.934, P<0.001). At a mitochondrial quantity cut-off value of>2, the sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve to detect the occurrence of POD were 53%, 78% and 0.680 (95%CI: 0.584-0.776, P<0.001). Conclusions: Patients who developed POD show higher platelet mitochondrial mass after surgery compared to preoperative levels. The mitochondrial mass of platelets on the first postoperative day has good predictive value on the occurrence of POD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiopathies comprise a spectrum of diseases without curative treatments. Pharmacological treatments based on bile acid (BA) metabolism regulation represent promising therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cholangiopathies. Gentiopicroside (GPS), derived from the Chinese medicinal herb Gentianae Radix, exerts pharmacological effects on bile acid metabolism regulation and oxidative stress. OBJECTIVE The present study aims to investigate the effect of GPS on 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4dihydrocollidine (DDC)-induced cholangiopathy. METHODS Two independent animal experiments were designed to evaluate the comprehensive effect of GPS on chronic DDC diet-induced cholangiopathy, including bile duct obliteration, ductular reaction, BA metabolism reprogramming, liver fibrosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. RESULTS In the first pharmacological experiment, three doses of GPS (5, 25 and 125 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally into mice fed a DDC diet for 14 days. DDC induced a typical ductular reaction, increased periductal fibrosis and mixed inflammatory cell infiltration in the portal areas. GPS treatment showed dose-dependent improvements in the ductular reaction, BA metabolism, fibrosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response. In the second experiment, a high dose of GPS was injected intraperitoneally into control mice for 28 days, resulting in no obvious histologic changes and significant serologic abnormalities in liver function. However, GPS inhibited DDC-induced oxidative stress, serum and hepatic BA accumulation, proinflammatory cytokine production, and immunocyte infiltration. Specifically, the GPS-treated groups showed decreased infiltration of monocyte-derived macrophages and CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, as well as preserved Kupffer cells. CONCLUSION GPS alleviated chronic DDC diet-induced cholangiopathy disorder by improving the ductular reaction, periductal fibrosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Its dosage-dependent pharmacological effects indicated that GPS warrants its further evaluation in clinical trials for cholangiopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Wnt signaling maintains normal and cancer stem cells. The Wnt pathway is frequently dysregulated in many cancers, underscoring it as a therapeutic target. Although Wnt inhibitors appear promising in many preclinical studies, they have failed uniformly in clinical trials. Molecular mechanisms of resistance are poorly defined. Further dissection of the precise mechanisms of Wnt pathway activation in specific tumor types is needed to develop new Wnt pathway inhibitors with less toxicity. Here, we identify an alternative activator of the Wnt pathway that may mediate resistance to upstream Wnt inhibition in glioblastoma. MATERIALS/METHODS Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) were enriched in defined media. GSCs were transduced with lentiviruses to knockdown or overexpress Sema3C or Wnt pathway components. Cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and self-renewal were assessed. Expression of Sema3C and Wnt pathway components were assessed in GSCs, mouse models of GBM, and human glioblastoma by qPCR, Western blot, and/or immunostaining. Beta-catenin subcellular localization was assessed by cell fractionation and immunofluorescence. GSC-derived orthotopic models of GBM were used to assess the impact of genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of Sema3C or Wnt pathway components alone or in combination on tumor growth and animal survival. RESULTS The axonal guidance protein Sema3C promotes the tumorigenicity of GSCs through binding its NRP/PlxnD1 receptor complex leading to Rac1 activation. Sema3C signaling directs beta-catenin nuclear accumulation in a Rac1-dependent process, leading to transactivation of Wnt target genes. Sema3C-driven Wnt signaling occurred despite suppression of Wnt ligand secretion, suggesting that Sema3C may drive canonical Wnt signaling independent of Wnt ligand binding. In human glioblastoma, Sema3C expression and Wnt pathway activation were highly concordant. In a mouse model of glioblastoma, combined depletion of Sema3C and beta-catenin partner TCF1 extended animal survival more than single target inhibition alone. CONCLUSION Sema3C signaling may represent an alternative mechanism of WNT pathway activation even when WNT ligand-receptor interaction is inhibited. Since Sema3C is overexpressed in >85% glioblastoma and is used to maintain GSCs but not normal neural progenitor cells, this pathway may represent a major mechanism of Wnt pathway activation and resistance to upstream Wnt pathway inhibitors in GSCs. Our data provide a therapeutic strategy to achieve clinically significant Wnt pathway inhibition in GSCs potentially without the toxicity of currently available WNT inhibitors.

Abstract
Cancer cachexia is characterized by weight loss and skeletal muscle wasting. Based on the up-regulation of catabolism and down-regulation of anabolism, here we showed genetic mutation-mediated metabolic reprogramming in the progression of cancer cachexia by screening for metabolites and investigating their direct effect on muscle atrophy. Treatment with 93 μM D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) resulted in reduced myotube width and increased expression of E3 ubiquitin ligases. Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutant patients had higher D2HG than non-mutant patients. In the in vivo murine cancer cachexia model, mutant IDH1 in CT26 cancer cells accelerated cachexia progression and worsened overall survival. Transcriptomics and metabolomics revealed a distinct D2HG-induced metabolic imbalance. Treatment with the IDH1 inhibitor ivosidenib delayed the progression of cancer cachexia in murine GL261 glioma model and CT26 colorectal carcinoma models. These data demonstrate the contribution of IDH1 mutation mediated D2HG accumulation to the progression of cancer cachexia and highlight the individualized treatment of IDH1 mutation associated cancer cachexia.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the distribution and establish reference intervals (RI) of daytime intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye health screening population of Handan. Methods: This cross-sectional study included subjects who participated in eye health screening at the Physical Examination Center of Handan First Hospital from May 2021 to June 2022. A complete general and ocular examination was performed, including measurements of visual acuity and IOP (using Goldmann tonometry), slit lamp microscopy, fundus photography, and anterior and posterior segment optical coherence tomography. Subjects with factors that could cause significant changes in IOP or affect the accuracy of IOP measurement, or with an inability to measure IOP were excluded. Simple random sampling was used to select participants, who were grouped by gender and age (18 to <30, 30 to <40, 40 to <50, 50 to <60, 60 to <70, and ≥70 years). Central corneal thickness and IOP at 8 to 11 o'clock in one eye of each participant were recorded. The independent sample t test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis, and the RI of IOP values was calculated by x¯±1.96s. Results: A total of 9 310 subjects had their IOP measured, and 3 491 participants (3 491 eyes) were randomly selected from 7 886 healthy subjects. The age of the participants was (47.74±14.47) years old, ranging from 18 to 90 years old. There were 1 694 males and 1 797 females. The central corneal thickness of all participants was (525.56±49.39) μm. The daytime IOP of all participants was (15.40±2.54) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and the RI was 10.42 to 20.39 mmHg. The IOP was (15.49±2.58) mmHg for males and (15.29±2.49) mmHg for females, and the gender difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The RI of daytime IOP values was 10.43 to 20.54 mmHg for males and 10.41 to 20.18 mmHg for females. There were significant differences in daytime IOP [(15.13±2.58), (15.33±2.53), (15.49±2.50), (15.53±2.55), (15.39±2.62), and (15.28±2.52) mmHg] among 6 age groups (P<0.05). Conclusions: The distribution of daytime IOP in different gender and age groups in the eye health screening population of Handan and the RIs derived from the distribution were roughly the same as the international normal IOP RI (10 to 21 mmHg). It is recommended to refer to the RI of daytime IOP values of different genders and ages for clinical decision.

Abstract
In this work, a kind of multifunctional magnetic plasmonic photocatalyst was prepared by a green and efficient process. Magnetic mesoporous anatase titanium dioxide (Fe3O4@mTiO2) was synthesized by microwave-assisted hydrothermal, and Ag NPs were simultaneously in-situ grown on Fe3O4@mTiO2 (Fe3O4@mTiO2@Ag), graphene oxide (GO) was then wrapped on Fe3O4@mTiO2@Ag (Fe3O4@mTiO2@Ag@GO) to increase its adsorption capacity for fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs). Owing to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Ag, as well as the photocatalytic capacity of TiO2, a multifunctional platform based on Fe3O4@mTiO2@Ag@GO was constructed for adsorption, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) monitoring and photodegradation of FQs in water. The quantitative SERS detection of norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and enrofloxacin (ENR) was demonstrated with LOD of 0.1 μg mL-1, and the qualitative analysis was confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The photocatalytic degradation rate of NOR over Fe3O4@mTiO2@Ag@GO was about 4.6 and 1.4 times faster than that of Fe3O4@mTiO2 and Fe3O4@mTiO2@Ag, indicating the synergetic effects of Ag NPs and GO, the used Fe3O4@mTiO2@Ag@GO can be easily recovered and recycled for at least 5 times. Thus, the eco-friendly magnetic plasmonic photocatalyst provided a potential solution for the removal and monitoring of residual FQs in environmental water.

Abstract
Internal standard molecule 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) embedded Au core-Ag shell nanorods (Au-MBA@Ag NRs) were prepared by a seed-mediated growth method, then loaded on octahedral MIL-88B-NH2 to obtain a novel ratiometric SERS substrate of Au-MBA@Ag NRs/PSS/MIL-88B-NH2 (AMAPM) for detecting rhodamine 6G (R6G) in chili powder. The porous structure and excellent adsorption ability of MIL-88B-NH2, allowed for increased loading of Au-MBA@Ag NRs, thereby shortening the distance between adsorbed R6G and the "hot spot" resulting from local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Au-MBA@Ag NRs. Based on the SERS characteristic peak ratio of R6G to 4-MBA, the ratiometric SERS substrate displayed improved accuracy and excellent performance for R6G detection, with a wide linear range of 5-320 nM and a low detection limit of 2.29 nM as well as fine stability, reproducibility and specificity. The proposed ratiometric SERS substrate offered a simple, fast and sensitive sensing strategy for R6G detection in chili powder, which demonstrated potential applications in food safety and the analysis of trace analytes in complex matrices.

Abstract
Although great progress has been achieved in polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites by the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the development of cost-efficient, well dispersive and multifunctional integrated PPS composites has yet to be achieved because of the strong solvent resistance of PPS. In this work, a CNTs-PPS/PVA composite material has been prepared by mucus dispersion-annealing, which employed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to disperse PPS particles and CNTs at room temperature. Dispersion and scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that PVA mucus can uniformly suspend and disperse micron-sized PPS particles, promoting the interpenetration of the micro-nano scale between PPS and CNTs. During the annealing process, PPS particles deformed and then crosslinked with CNTs and PVA to form a CNTs-PPS/PVA composite. The as-prepared CNTs-PPS/PVA composite possesses outstanding versatility, including excellent heat stability with resistant temperatures up to 350 °C, corrosion resistance against strong acids and alkalis for up to 30 days, and distinguished electrical conductivity with 2941 S m-1. Besides, a well-dispersed CNTs-PPS/PVA suspension could be used to 3D print microcircuits. Hence, such multifunctional integrated composites will be highly promising in the future of new materials. This research also develops a simple and meaningful method to construct composites for solvent resistant polymers.

Abstract
A novel direct electrochemical sensor, based on a pyridine diketopyrrolopyrrole/graphene oxide nanocomposite-modified glass carbon electrode (PDPP/GO/GCE), was developed herein for chloramphenicol (CAP) detection. In this research, PDPP was grafted onto GO by C-N bonds and π-π conjugation, which were synergistically confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The morphology study shows that PDPP was uniformly dispersed on the GO in the form of particles. The constructed PDPP/GO/GCE showed the strongest response signal to CAP in the evaluation of electrocatalytic activity by cyclic voltammetry compared to that of GO-modified and unmodified GCE, revealing that the introduction of PDPP can effectively improve the electrocatalytic activity of sensors. Moreover, PDPP/GO/GCE had a noticeable current signal when the concentration of CAP was as low as 0.001 uM and had a wide line range (0.01-780 uM) with a low limit of detection (1.64 nM). The sensor properties of the as-obtained PDPP/GO/GCE involved anti-interference, reproducibility, and stability, which were also evaluated and revealed satisfactory results.

Abstract
For highly sensitive detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in the environment, a novel pyridine diketopyrrolopyrrole-functionalized graphene oxide (PDPP-GO) composite was constructed for the first time by an improved Hummers' method. Herein, PDPP was completely dissolved in sulfuric acid (6 mol L-1) and reacted with GO, promoting PDPP evenly adhering to the GO surface. Moreover, the specific surface area increased from 15.51 to 22.033 m2 g-1. Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy simultaneously demonstrated that PDPP was bound to GO by the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking conjugation. During the cyclic voltammetry test, the PDPP-GO coated glassy carbon electrode (PDPP-GO/GCE) direct electrochemical sensor gave expression to the best electrocatalytic activity for 4-nitrophenol detection than GO/GCE and bare GCE. Under optimization conditions, the as-prepared PDPP-GO/GCE sensor brought out remarkable sensitivities of 18.54 (0.5-50 μM) and 6.61 μA μM-1 cm-2 (50-163 μM) in the linear detection of 4-NP. Besides, a low detection limit of 0.10 μM, reliable long-term stability, excellent selectivity, and reproducibility were obtained. In the real sample test, the PDPP-GO/GCE demonstrated sensitive and reliable determination.

Abstract
Introduction The anti-tumor vindoline and catharanthine alkaloids are naturally existed in Catharanthus roseus (C. roseus), an ornamental plant in many tropical countries. Plant-specific TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF (TCP) transcription factors play important roles in various plant developmental processes. However, the roles of C. roseus TCPs (CrTCPs) in terpenoid indole alkaloid (TIA) biosynthesis are largely unknown. Methods Here, a total of 15 CrTCP genes were identified in the newly updated C. roseus genome and were grouped into three major classes (P-type, C-type and CYC/TB1). Results Gene structure and protein motif analyses showed that CrTCPs have diverse intron-exon patterns and protein motif distributions. A number of stress responsive cis-elements were identified in promoter regions of CrTCPs. Expression analysis showed that three CrTCP genes (CrTCP2, CrTCP4, and CrTCP7) were expressed specifically in leaves and four CrTCP genes (CrTCP13, CrTCP8, CrTCP6, and CrTCP10) were expressed specifically in flowers. HPLC analysis showed that the contents of three classic TIAs, vindoline, catharanthine and ajmalicine, were significantly increased by ultraviolet-B (UV-B) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in leaves. By analyzing the expression patterns under UV-B radiation and MeJA application with qRT-PCR, a number of CrTCP and TIA biosynthesis-related genes were identified to be responsive to UV-B and MeJA treatments. Interestingly, two TCP binding elements (GGNCCCAC and GTGGNCCC) were identified in several TIA biosynthesis-related genes, suggesting that they were potential target genes of CrTCPs. Discussion These results suggest that CrTCPs are involved in the regulation of the biosynthesis of TIAs, and provide a basis for further functional identification of CrTCPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic disorder is considered a well-established risk factor for endometrial carcinoma (EC). However, the mechanism remains unclear. Insulin resistance and excessive flux of free fatty acids serve as fundamental pathogenic factors in metabolic disorders, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to test the correlation between insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia in EC and to determine the effect of insulin and saturated fatty acids on EC cells. METHODS A retrospective study on the medical records of patients with EC and RNA-seq from the TCGA database analysed with edgR and Gene Ontology (GO) were used to assess the correlation of dyslipidaemia and diabetes as well as obesity. Crystal violet assays and CCK-8 assays were used to detect the proliferation of EC cells, and Annexin V-PI was used to examine apoptosis. Transient changes in mitochondrial Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were monitored via confocal microscopy. DNA damage was assessed by comet assays. Changes in signalling pathways were detected via phospho-kinase array. western blotting was used to assess the molecular changes in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and DNA damage. RESULTS We found that glucose metabolism disorders accompanied dyslipidaemia in patients with EC. As a key regulator of glucose metabolism disorders, insulin promoted DNA damage, ROS and Ca2+ homoeostasis imbalance in a panel of established EC cell lines. Interestingly, excessive insulin boosted saturated fatty acid-induced pro-apoptotic effects in EC cells. Furthermore, our data showed that insulin synergised with saturated fatty acids to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase/70 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (mTOR/p70S6K) pathway and ER stress, resulting in Ca2+ release from ER and unfolded protein response (UPR) activation, which contributed to combined insulin and saturated fatty acid treatment-induced apoptosis and tumour progression. CONCLUSIONS Our data are the first to illustrate that impaired glucose metabolism accelerates dyslipidaemia-promoted EC progression, which is attributed to hyperinsulinaemia and saturated fatty acid-induced Ca2+ dyshomoeostasis and UPR activation in EC cells via ER stress.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), accounting for approximately 50% of deaths. Despite significant advances in the understanding of cardiac disease due to CKD, the underlying mechanisms involved in many pathological changes have not been fully elucidated. In our previous study, we observed severe fibrosis in the contralateral kidney of a 6-month-old rat UUO model. In the present experiment, we also observed severe fibrosis in the hearts of rats subjected to UUO and the macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT). These effects were inhibited by the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blocker eplerenone. Notably, in vitro, aldosterone-activated MR induced the MMT and subsequently promoted the secretion of CTGF, the target of MR, from macrophages; these changes were inhibited by eplerenone. The CTGF also induced the MMT and both the aldosterone and CTGF-induced MMT could be alleviated by the CTGF blocker. In conclusion, our results suggest that targeting the MR/CTGF pathway to inhibit the MMT may be an effective therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is the inevitable pathway of the progression of chronic kidney disease to end-stage renal disease, which manifests as progressive glomerulosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis. In a previous study, we observed severe interstitial fibrosis in the contralateral kidneys of 6-month unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) rats, which was accompanied by increased macrophage infiltration and phenotypic transformation; after eplerenone administration, these effects were reduced. Therefore, we hypothesized that this effect was closely related to mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation induced by the increased aldosterone (ALD) level. In this study, we used uninephrectomy plus continuous aldosterone infusion in mice to observe whether aldosterone induced macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT) and renal fibrosis and investigated the signaling pathways. Notably, aldosterone induced predominantly M1 macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition by activating MR and upregulating TGF-β1 expression, which promoted renal fibrosis. These effects were antagonized by the MR blocker esaxerenone. These findings suggest that targeting the MR/TGF-β1 pathway may be an effective therapeutic strategy for renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves progressive and irreversible loss of renal function, often causing complications and comorbidities and impairing the function of various organs. In particular, lung injury is observed not only in advanced CKD but also in early-stage CKD. The present study investigated the potential involvement of mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) and lymphatic vessels in lung injury using a 180-day unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model for CKD. Changes in lung associated with lymphangiogenesis and inflammatory were analyzed in UUO rats. The pathology of the lung tissue was observed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's staining. Detection of the expression of lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronic acid receptor-1 (LYVE-1), Podoplanin, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) and VEGF C to investigate lymphangiogenesis. The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein 1, tumor necrosis factor-α, nuclear factor κB, phosphorylated serum and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase-1 and MR were evaluated using western blot, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence staining. In the present study, long-term UUO caused kidney damage, which also led to lung inflammation, accompanied by lymphangiogenesis. However, treatment with eplerenone, an MR blocker, significantly reduced the severity of lung injury and lymphangiogenesis. Therefore, lymphangiogenesis contributed to lung fibrosis in UUO rats due to activation of MRs. In addition, transdifferentiation of lymphatic epithelial cells into myofibroblasts may also be involved in lung fibrosis. Collectively, these findings provided a potential mechanism for lung fibrosis in CKD and suggested that the use of eplerenone decreased kidney damage and lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Accumulated oncometabolites in the tumor microenvironment (TME) suppresses the metabolism, expansion, and function of T cells. Immunosuppressive TME also impeded Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cells mediated cytotoxicity since CAR-T cells had to adapt the in vivo metabolic characteristics with high levels of oncometabolites. We screened oncometabolites for the inhibition of glucose uptake in CD8 + T cells and found Kynurenine (Kyn) showed the strongest inhibiting effect on glucose uptake. In vitro experiments showed that 120 μM Kyn treatment in CD8 + T cells resulted in inhibiting the expansion of CD8 + T cells, decreasing the production of granzyme B and interferon-γ. CAR-T cells mediated cytotoxicity was also impaired by the high Kyn treatment from killing assay. We then explored the anti-tumor effect of Kynureninase (KYNU) modified CAR-T cells through catabolism o oncometabolites Kyn. KYNU over-expression (OE) CAR-T cells showed a superior killing effect against cancer cells even in the immunosuppressive TME with high Kyn levels. In vivo experiments confirmed KYNU-OE CAR-T cells showed an excellent anti-tumor effect in a TME with high Kyn levels since it improved the survival of mice bearing NALM6 cancer cells and NALM6-IDO1 cancer cells. The KYNU-modified CAR-T cells displayed distinct phenotypes related to the expansion, function, and memory differentiation status of CAR-T cells. This study explores an immunotherapy strategy for patients with alterations in Kyn metabolism. KYNU-OE CAR-T cells take advantage of Kyn catabolism to improve anti-tumor activity in the metabolic immunosuppressive TME with high Kyn.

Abstract
As an important abiotic stress factor, ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light can stimulate the accumulation of antioxidants in plants. In this study, the possibility of enhancing antioxidant capacity in pakchoi (Brassica rapa L.) by UV-B supplementation was assessed. Irradiation with 4 µmol·m−2·s−1 UV-B for 4 h or 2 µmol·m−2·s−1 UV-B for 24 h significantly increased the 1,1–diphenyl–2–picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and total reductive capacity, as a result of inducing a greater accumulation of total polyphenols and flavonoids without affecting the plant biomass. A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that the concentrations of many flavonoids significantly increased in response to UV-B treatment. The activities of three enzymes involved in the early steps of flavonoid biosynthesis, namely phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H), and 4-coumarate: coenzyme A (CoA) ligase (4CL), were significantly increased after the corresponding UV-B treatment. Compared with the control, the expression levels of several flavonoid biosynthesis genes (namely BrPAL, BrC4H, Br4CL, BrCHS, BrF3H, BrF3′H, BrFLS, BrDFR, BrANS, and BrLDOX) were also significantly up–regulated in the UV-B treatment group. The results suggest that appropriate preharvest UV-B supplementation could improve the nutritional quality of greenhouse-grown pakchoi by promoting the accumulation of antioxidants.

Abstract
Acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) is a special type of esotropia that occurs suddenly and is accompanied by diplopia. In recent years, the number of patients with this eye disease has increased significantly. With differences in age and refractive status, children and adults have their own characteristics in terms of AACE classification, refractive status, eye position, and binocular visual function. However, the pathogenesis of AACE is still unclear. This article explores the pathogenesis and risk factors of AACE, including refractive error, convergence spasm, extraocular muscle, and visual cortex, that may be involved. The authors recommend that AACE, which is not related to intracranial and systemic diseases, should be classified according to the dominant mechanism of the disease.

Abstract
The effect of immunotherapy is limited by oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2HG). D2HGDH is an inducible enzyme that converts D2HG into the endogenous metabolite 2-oxoglutarate. We aimed to evaluate the impairment of CD8 T lymphocyte function in the high-D2HG environment and to explore the phenotypic features and anti-tumor effect of D2HGDH-modified CAR-T cells. D2HG treatment inhibited the expansion of human CD8 T lymphocytes and CAR-T cells, increased their glucose uptake, suppressed effector cytokine production, and decreased the central memory cell proportion. D2HGDH-modified CAR-T cells displayed distinct phenotypes, as D2HGDH knock-out (KO) CAR-T cells exhibited a significant decrease in central memory cell differentiation and intracellular cytokine production, while D2HGDH over-expression (OE) CAR-T cells showed predominant killing efficacy against NALM6 cancer cells in high-D2HG medium. In vivo xenograft experiments confirmed that D2HGDH-OE CAR-T cells decreased serum D2HG and improved the overall survival of mice bearing NALM6 cancer cells with mutation IDH1. Our findings demonstrated that the immunosuppressive effect of D2HG and distinct phenotype of D2HGDH modified CAR-T cells. D2HGDH-OE CAR-T cells can take advantage of the catabolism of D2HG to foster T cell expansion, function, and anti-tumor effectiveness.

Abstract
Objective Calcium is present in serum mainly in filterable and bound forms, and Ca2+ is a major key to modulate signaling pathways that control oncogenesis and oncochannels associated with several types of cancer. However, the biological significance of serum calcium and its related mechanism with estrogen in endometrial cancer (EC) still remains elusive. This study aims to ascertain the relationship between serum calcium and clinicopathology in EC. Methods Retrospective assessment of a total of 502 patients diagnosed with EC after surgery in Peking University People's Hospital from 2010 to 2018. Preoperative serum ionized calcium and the albumin corrected calcium was calculated in quartiles for various postoperative clinicopathological characteristics, logistic regression adjusted for potential confounders. Intracellular calcium homeostasis change induced by estrogen was detected by confocal analysis. Downstream pathways were analyzed by transcriptome and proteomics. Mitochondrial Ca2+ and ROS (reactive oxygen species) level was detected by confocal and flow cytometry. Lysosomal morphological and membrane changes were verified by confocal or Western blot assays. Results High level of albumin-corrected serum calcium was significantly correlated with EC clinicopathological characteristics progression include lymph vascular space invasion, lymph nodes metastasis, myometrial invasion, and cervical invasion. Calcium homeostasis regulated by estrogen in EC cells derived from extracellular calcium influx but not the release of the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteomic and bioinformatic analysis revealed the calcium influx might be involved in the regulation of autophagy and mitochondrial-related pathways. Mechanistic investigation demonstrated that calcium influx acted on the function of mitochondrial ROS and lysosomal activity. Conclusion Our findings revealed that serum calcium level was significantly related to poor outcomes. The extracellular calcium influx induced by estrogen was targeted to mitochondrial ROS and lysosome activity, which should be oriented to improve EC therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our study aims to explore the association between ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and frailty in participants with different body mass indexes (BMIs). DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Data were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2000 and 2001-2002. PARTICIPANTS We analyzed data from 2,329 participants. MEASUREMENTS Dietary data were obtained using 24-h dietary recall method. Frail status was assessed by modified Fried frailty phenotype. The association between the grams, energy, and energy proportion of UPFs and the risk of pre-frailty/frailty was estimated using logistic regression analysis, and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Participants were categorized into underweight-normal weight (BMI <25 kg/m2), overweight (25 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 30 kg/m2), and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) groups. The multiplicative interaction between BMIs and UPFs on pre-frailty/frailty was assessed using the logistic regression analysis. RESULTS We analyzed data from 2,329 participants, and 2,267 (97.77%) of whom consumed UPFs. There were 1,063 participants in pre-frailty or frailty group and 1,266 participants in non-frailty group. In underweight-normal weight participants, every 100 kcal increase in energy of UPFs intake was associated with increased 0.08 times of pre-frailty or frailty risk (OR: 1.08, 95%CI: 1.00-1.16, P = 0.045), and every 10% increase in energy proportion of UPFs intake was correlated with a 0.02-fold increase in pre-frailty or frailty risk (OR: 1.02, 95%CI: 1.00-1.03, P = 0.018). Similar results were found in overweight participants, with OR of 1.06 (95%CI: 1.01-1.10) and 1.01 (95%CI: 1.00-1.02) for energy and energy proportion, respectively (both P < 0.05). This association was not found in obesity participants. CONCLUSION The energy and energy proportion of UPFs intake was positively associated with the frailty risk in underweight-normal weight and overweight people, indicating that population with BMI less than 30 kg/m2 should pay more attention to reasonable diet and balanced source of energy intake.

Abstract
Digital dentistry plays a pivotal role in dental health care. A critical step in many digital dental systems is to accurately delineate individual teeth and the gingiva in the 3-dimension intraoral scanned mesh data. However, previous state-of-the-art methods are either time-consuming or error prone, hence hindering their clinical applicability. This article presents an accurate, efficient, and fully automated deep learning model trained on a data set of 4,000 intraoral scanned data annotated by experienced human experts. On a holdout data set of 200 scans, our model achieves a per-face accuracy, average-area accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 96.94%, 98.26%, and 0.9991, respectively, significantly outperforming the state-of-the-art baselines. In addition, our model takes only about 24 s to generate segmentation outputs, as opposed to >5 min by the baseline and 15 min by human experts. A clinical performance test of 500 patients with malocclusion and/or abnormal teeth shows that 96.9% of the segmentations are satisfactory for clinical applications, 2.9% automatically trigger alarms for human improvement, and only 0.2% of them need rework. Our research demonstrates the potential for deep learning to improve the efficacy and efficiency of dental treatment and digital dentistry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the proliferation effect of aldosterone on renal tubular epithelial cells in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Thirty-two male C57BL/6J mice (20-22 g) were divided randomly into four groups: sham, unilateral nephrectomy (UN), unilateral nephrectomy plus aldosterone infusion (UA), and UA plus eplerenone (UAE). The kidneys were removed 6 weeks after treatment. Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was detected by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Human kidney proximal tubular epithelial (HK2) and mouse distal convoluted tubule (mDCT) cell lines were stimulated by aldosterone (0, 10-9, 10-8, 10-7, and 10-6 mol/L) in vitro. Cells were collected after 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h, and proliferation of each group detected by western blotting, flow cytometry, live imaging, and the MTT assay. In addition, mDCT cells were costimulated with a medium containing a final concentration of 161 mmol/L Na+ and different concentrations of aldosterone, and the number of cells and cellular DNA content was measured by the MTT assay and flow cytometry. RESULTS Aldosterone could induce a significant increase in the number of PCNA-positive cells in mouse kidneys accompanied by increased deposition of collagen fibers. Eplerenone could inhibit aldosterone-induced cell proliferation and collagen deposition. HK2 cells and mDCT cells administered different concentrations, and different times of aldosterone stimulation failed to cause cell proliferation, and costimulation of aldosterone and salt did not cause proliferation changes in mDCT cells. CONCLUSIONS Aldosterone perfusion can induce proliferation of mouse kidney cells in vivo, and eplerenone can inhibit this change, but aldosterone stimulates HK2 cells and mDCT in vitro without causing their proliferation.

Abstract
A monodisperse CeO2@N-C ultrathin nanosheet self-assembled hierarchical structure (USHR) has been prepared by metal-organic framework template methods. The uniform coating of nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) layers could play an important role in the adsorption and activation of benzylic alcohol. The unique 3D hierarchical structure self-assembled by ultrathin nanosheets provided enough active sites for the catalytic reaction. Therefore, the CeO2@N-C USHR can afford excellent catalytic performance for selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols in water.

Abstract
Severe renal fibrosis often occurs in obstructive kidney disease, not only in the obstructed kidney but also in the contralateral kidney, causing renal dysfunction. Although the mechanisms of injury in obstructed kidney have been studied for years, the pathogenesis of fibrosis in the contralateral kidney remains largely unknown. Here, we examined long-term unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model in male Sprague-Dawley rats and found that macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT) is contributing to renal fibrosis in the contralateral kidney of UUO rats. Interestingly, this process was attenuated by treatment of eplerenone, a specific blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). In-vitro, stimulating MR in primary cultured or cell line macrophages enhances MMT, which were also inhibited by MR blockade. Collectively, these findings provide a plausible mechanism for UUO-induced injury in the contralateral kidney, suggesting the benefit of using MR blockage as a part of treatment to UUO to protect the contralateral kidney thereby preserve renal function.

Abstract
TCP transcription factors play important roles in diverse aspects of plant development as transcriptional activators or repressors. However, the functional mechanisms of TCPs are not well understood, especially in cotton fibers. Here, we identified a total of 37 non-redundant TCP proteins from the diploid cotton (Gossypium raimondii), which showed great diversity in the expression profile. GrTCP11, an ortholog of AtTCP11, was preferentially expressed in cotton anthers and during fiber initiation and secondary cell wall synthesis stages. Overexpression of GrTCP11 in Arabidopsis thaliana reduced root hair length and delayed flowering. It was found that GrTCP11 negatively regulated genes involved in jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis and response, such as AtLOX4, AtAOS, AtAOC1, AtAOC3, AtJAZ1, AtJAZ2, AtMYC2, and AtERF1, which resulted in a decrease in JA concentration in the overexpressed transgenic lines. As with the JA-deficient mutant dde2-2, the transgenic line 4-1 was insensitive to 50 μM methyl jasmonate, compared with the wild-type plants. The results suggest that GrTCP11 may be an important transcription factor for cotton fiber development, by negatively regulating JA biosynthesis and response.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in the dorsal root ganglion of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rats through the SIRT1/p53 pathway. METHODS Diabetic rat model was induced by high-carbohydrate/high-fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of STZ. Diabetic rats were divided into three groups (n =16 per group): DPN group, AS-IV group (60mg/kg/d) and α-lipoic acid (ALA) group (60mg/kg/d). Weight and blood glucose levels were monitored every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. DPN was evaluated using the Von Frey Filaments Test and nerve conduction velocity. The dorsal root ganglia of rats were isolated and the pathological changes of mitochondria were observed by electron microscopy. The activity of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex, mitochondrial membrane potential, malonaldehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were measured. Neural apoptosis was detected using the Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) assay kit. The cleaved caspase-3, major proteins in the SIRT1/p53 pathway, including SIRT1, acetyl p53, Drp1, BAX, and BCL-2, were detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Gene expression of major proteins in the SIRT1/p53 pathway was also detected. RESULTS After 12 weeks of treatment, AS-IV and ALA did not significantly affect body weight or fasting glucose levels, but reduced mechanical abnormal pain in DPN and improved nerve conduction velocity. AS-IV and ALA increased the level of GSH and decreased the level of MDA. Both AS-IV and ALA can reduce mitochondrial damage, improve mitochondrial electron transport chain complex activity and mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduce the percentages of positive cells with DNA fragmentation and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 protein. AS-IV and ALA up-regulated the expression of SIRT1 and down-regulated the expression of acetyl-p53, Drp1 and the ratio of BAX to BCL-2. Changes in gene expression were similar. CONCLUSION AS-IV can reduce the occurrence of mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis by regulating the SIRT1/p53 pathway. It has a similar therapeutic effect as ALA and is therefore a promising drug for the potential treatment of DPN.

Abstract
AIMS Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus has emerged as a severe bacterial disease of cultured shrimp. To identify the key virulence factors, two AHPND-causing V. parahaemolyticus (VpAHPND ) strains (123 and 137) and two non-VpAHPND strains (HZ56 and ATCC 17082) were selected. METHODS AND RESULTS Challenge tests showed that the four strains exhibited different virulence towards shrimp with cumulative mortalities at 48 h postinfection (hpi) ranging from 10 to 92%. The expression of pirABVP in strain 123 and 137 was not significantly different. Genomic analysis revealed that the two VpAHPND strains contain a plasmid with the PirABVP toxins (pirABVP ) flanked by the insertion sequence (ISVal1) that has been identified in various locations of chromosomes in VpAHPND strains. The two VpAHPND strains possessed almost identical virulence factors, while ISVal1 disrupted three genes related to flagellar motility in strain 137. Phenotype assay showed that strain 123 possessed the highest growth rate and swimming motility, followed by strain 137, suggesting that the disruption of essential genes mediated by ISVal1 significantly affected the virulence level. Transcriptome analysis of two VpAHPND strains (123 and 137) further suggested that virulence genes related to the capsule, flagella and primary metabolism were highly expressed in strain 123. CONCLUSIONS Here for the first time, it is demonstrated that the virulence of VpAHPND is not only determined by the expression of pirABVP , but also is mediated by ISVal1 which affects the genes involved in flagellar motility and primary metabolism. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The genomic and transcriptomic analysis of VpAHPND strains provides valuable information on the virulence factors affecting the pathogenicity of VpAHPND.

Abstract
Herein, we identified the tomato SlMYB102 gene as a MYB family transcription factor of the R2R3-MYB subfamily. We additionally determined that the SlMYB102 promoter region contains photoresponsive, abiotic stress-responsive, and hormone-responsive regulatory elements, and we detected higher SlMYB102 expression in the reproductive organs of tomato than that in vegetative organs, with the expression being highest in ripe fruits and in roots. SlMYB102 expression was also shown to be cold-inducible. The protein encoded by SlMYB102 localized to the nucleus wherein it was found to mediate the transcriptional activation of target genes through its C-terminal domain. Overexpression of SlMYB102 in tomato plants conferred enhanced tolerance to cold stress. Under such cold stress conditions, we found that proline levels in the leaves of SlMYB102 overexpressing transgenic plants were higher than those in WT plants. In addition, S1MYB102 overexpression was associated with the enhanced expression of cold response genes including SlCBF1, SlCBF3, SlDREB1, SlDEB2, and SlICE1. We also found that the overexpression of SlMYB102 further enhanced the cold-induced upregulation of SlP5CS and SlAPX2. Taken together, these results suggest that SlMYB102 may be involved in the C-repeat binding transcription factor (CBF) and proline synthesis pathways, thereby improving tomato plant cold resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent studies have revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in tumor progression. Ovarian cancer is a common type of fatal gynecological cancer worldwide. This study aims to investigate how lncRNADSCAM-AS1 functions in the progression of ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS DSCAM-AS1 expression of both ovarian cancer cells and 56 paired of tissue samples was detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Moreover, the function of DSCAM-AS1 was identified via transwell assay, wound healing assay, colony formation assay and proliferation assay in vitro. The underlying mechanism was explored through qRT-PCR and Western blot assay. RESULTS DSCAM-AS1 expression was remarkably upregulated in tumor tissues compared with that in the adjacent normal tissues. Besides, ovarian cancer proliferation, migration and invasion were promoted after overexpression of DSCAM-AS1 in vitro. Moreover, after overexpression of DSCAM-AS1, SOX4 was upregulated at mRNA and protein level in vitro. Furthermore, the expression of SOX4 in tumor tissues was positively correlated with the expression of DSCAM-AS1. CONCLUSIONS The above results suggested that DSCAM-AS1 can promote cell migration, invasion and proliferation in ovarian cancer by upregulating SOX4, which may offer a new therapeutic intervention for patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
In the study, well-crystallized nano-diamonds with an average size of 3.8 nm are obtained via femtosecond laser ablation. Both steady-state and transient luminescence are observed. The luminescence peaks of nano-diamonds shift from 380 to 495 nm when the excitation wavelength changes from 280 to 420 nm. After passivation by polyethylene glycol-400N, the surface of nano-diamonds is significantly oxidized, which is verified by Raman and UV-Vis absorption spectra. Furthermore, there is no change in all the luminescence wavelengths, although the maximum intensity increases by 10 times. Time-resolved luminescence spectra reveal that trapping states can be modified by surface passivation, and this leads to stronger luminescence with a longer lifetime.

Abstract
Spindle poisons are chemotherapeutic drugs used in the treatment of malignant tumors; however, numerous patients develop resistance following chemotherapy. The present study aimed to induce polyploidy in breast cancer cells using the spindle poison nocodazole to investigate the mechanism of polyploid-induced tumor resistance. It was revealed that the spindle poison nocodazole induced apoptosis in HCC1806 cells but also induced polyploidy in MDA-MB-231 cells. The drug sensitivities of the polyploid MDA-MB-231 cells to paclitaxel, docetaxel, epirubicin, 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin were lower than those of the original tumor cells; however, the polyploid MDA-MB-231 cells were more sensitive to etoposide than the original tumor cells. The expression of F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (FBW7) was decreased, while the expression of MCL1 apoptosis regulator BCL2 family member (MCL-1) and Bcl-2 was increased, and caspase-3/9 and Bax were not expressed in MDA-MB-231 cells. The resistance to docetaxel and etoposide was reversed, but the sensitivity of paclitaxel was not changed following Bcl-2 silencing. The formation of polyploidy in tumors may be one of the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor resistance to spindle poisons. Expression of the Bcl-2 family members, for example FBW7 and MCL-1, plays a key role in apoptosis and the cell escape process that forms polyploid cells. However, Bcl-2 silencing has different reversal effects on different anti-tumor drugs, which requires further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of acute self-limiting hepatitis in humans in developing countries. Hepatitis E virus RNA was first detected in donkeys in Spain, but little is known about the possible presence of HEV in donkeys in China. OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of HEV in donkeys in northern China. STUDY DESIGN Investigation of the prevalence of HEV in donkeys using serological, molecular and phylogenetic approaches. METHODS A total of 401 donkey serum specimens were tested for serological and molecular detection of HEV via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The amplified products were cloned in pMD18-T vector and sequenced. The alignment and phylogenetic analysis of partial HEV ORF2 genes were compared with the corresponding sequences of the obtained HEV representative strains. RESULTS Serological results showed that 49 donkeys (12.22%, 95% CI: 9.18-15.83%) were positive for anti-HEV-specific antibodies, and 17 donkeys (4.24%, 95% CI: 2.49-6.70%) were positive for HEV viral RNA. On the basis of sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis, all isolated HEV strains belonged to genotype 3 (HEV-3) or HEV-4, sharing more than 76.2-96.3% identities with 67 other HEV representative strains of HEV-1 to HEV-8. MAIN LIMITATIONS Further studies about the prevalence of HEV in organs or faecal samples from donkeys are needed to evaluate the possible role of HEV reservoir and to determine the risk factors associated with the transmission of this zoonotic virus in donkeys in China. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report documenting the molecular analysis of donkey HEV strains worldwide and the serological evidence of HEV infection in donkeys in northern China. The results suggest that young donkeys are more susceptible to HEV infection compared with older donkeys. Further investigation is required to determine whether donkeys should be considered reservoirs for zoonotic HEV. The Summary is available in Chinese - see Supporting information.
