Observation of Structures in the Processes e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{c1} and ωχ_{c2}

We present measurements of the Born cross sections for the processes e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{c1} and ωχ_{c2} at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s] from 4.308 to 4.951 GeV. The measurements are performed with data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 11.0  fb^{-1} collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider storage ring. Assuming the e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{c2} signals come from a single resonance, the mass and width are determined to be M=(4413.6±9.0±0.8)  MeV/c^{2} and Γ=(110.5±15.0±2.9)  MeV, respectively, which is consistent with the parameters of the well-established resonance ψ(4415). In addition, we also use one single resonance to describe the e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{c1} line shape and determine the mass and width to be M=(4544.2±18.7±1.7)  MeV/c^{2} and Γ=(116.1±33.5±1.7)  MeV, respectively. The structure of this line shape, observed for the first time, requires further understanding.

Coupled-Channel Analysis of the χ_{c1}(3872) Line Shape with BESIII Data

We perform a study of the χ_{c1}(3872) line shape using the data samples of e^{+}e^{-}→γχ_{c1}(3872), χ_{c1}(3872)→D^{0}D[over ¯]^{0}π^{0}, and π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ collected with the BESIII detector. The effects of the coupled channels and the off-shell D^{*0} are included in the parametrization of the line shape. The line shape mass parameter is obtained to be M_{X}=(3871.63±0.13_{-0.05}^{+0.06})  MeV. Two poles are found on the first and second Riemann sheets corresponding to the D^{*0}D[over ¯]^{0} branch cut. The pole location on the first sheet is much closer to the D^{*0}D[over ¯]^{0} threshold than the other, and is determined to be 7.04±0.15_{-0.08}^{+0.07}  MeV above the D^{0}D[over ¯]^{0}π^{0} threshold with an imaginary part -0.19±0.08_{-0.19}^{+0.14}  MeV.

Observation of the Anomalous Shape of X(1840) in J/ψ→γ3(π^{+}π^{-}) Indicating a Second Resonance Near pp[over ¯] Threshold

Using a sample of (10087±44)×10^{6}  J/ψ events, which is about 45 times larger than that was previously analyzed, a further investigation on the J/ψ→γ3(π^{+}π^{-}) decay is performed. A significant distortion at 1.84  GeV/c^{2} in the line shape of the 3(π^{+}π^{-}) invariant mass spectrum is observed for the first time, which could be resolved by two overlapping resonant structures, X(1840) and X(1880). The new state X(1880) is observed with a statistical significance larger than 10σ. The mass and width of X(1880) are determined to be 1882.1±1.7±0.7  MeV/c^{2} and 30.7±5.5±2.4  MeV, respectively, which indicates the existence of a pp[over ¯] bound state.

Study of the f_{0}(980) and f_{0}(500) Scalar Mesons through the Decay D_{s}^{+}→π^{+}π^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}

Using e^{+}e^{-} collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33  fb^{-1} recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV, we present an analysis of the decay D_{s}^{+}→π^{+}π^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}, where the D_{s}^{+} is produced via the process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*±}D_{s}^{∓}. We observe the f_{0}(980) in the π^{+}π^{-} system and the branching fraction of the decay D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(980)e^{+}ν_{e} with f_{0}(980)→π^{+}π^{-} measured to be (1.72±0.13_{stat}±0.10_{syst})×10^{-3}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The dynamics of the D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(980)e^{+}ν_{e} decay are studied with the simple pole parametrization of the hadronic form factor and the Flatté formula describing the f_{0}(980) in the differential decay rate, and the product of the form factor f_{+}^{f_{0}}(0) and the c→s Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cs}| is determined for the first time to be f_{+}^{f_{0}}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.504±0.017_{stat}±0.035_{syst}. Furthermore, the decay D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(500)e^{+}ν_{e} is searched for the first time but no signal is found. The upper limit on the branching fraction of D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(500)e^{+}ν_{e}, f_{0}(500)→π^{+}π^{-} decay is set to be 3.3×10^{-4} at 90% confidence level.

Novel multi-target angiogenesis inhibitors as potential anticancer agents: Design, synthesis and preliminary activity evaluation

Based on the crucial role of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and receptor tyrosine kinase in angiogenesis, in situ assembly, skeletal transition, molecular hybridization, and pharmacophore fusion were employed to yield seventy-six multi-target angiogenesis inhibitors. Biological evaluation indicated that most of the compounds exhibited potent proliferation inhibitory activity on MCF-7 cells, with the TH series having the highest inhibitory activity on MCF-7 cells. In addition, the IC50 values of TA11 and TH3 against HT-29 cellswere 0.078 μmol/L and 0.068 μmol/L, respectively. The cytotoxicity evaluation indicated that TC9, TA11, TM4, and TH3 displayed good safety against HEK293T cells. TH2 and TH3 could induce apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. Molecular modeling and ADMET prediction results indicated that most of target compounds showed promising medicinal properties, which was consistent with the experimental results. Our findings provided new lead compounds for the structural optimization of multi-target angiogenesis inhibitors.

Transmembrane modification of tumor vascular targeting peptide A7R as molecular cargo delivery tool

In recent years, targeting tumor angiogenesis has emerged as a prominent research focus in the treatment and prevention of tumor expansion. A7R (ATWLPPR) exhibits high affinity and specificity for VEGFR-2, which is overexpressed in various tumors. To enhance the tumor tissue and cell penetration capabilities of A7R, we substituted its non-critical amino acid with Arginine (R) and Glutamic acid (E), cyclized the mutant peptide, and linked it to the membrane permeation sequence using coordination principles. We designed and synthesized fifteen novel penetrating peptides that target tumor blood vessels and cells, followed by conducting various biological evaluations and cell imaging experiments. The results demonstrated that Cyclo-A7R-RRR and A7R-RLLRLLR exhibited excellent permeability towards tumor cells, with Cyclo-A7R-RRR showing superior serum stability compared to A7R. Furthermore, the modified peptides showed no toxicity towards HeLa cells, U251 cells, HuH-7 cells, and HEK293 cells under 10 μmol/L. Utilizing Cyclo-A7R-RRR or A7R-RLLRLLR for transmembrane delivery of drug molecules could significantly improve their efficacy. Our findings broaden the potential application scenarios of A7R in targeted tumor angiogenesis.

Observation of D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} in the Amplitude Analysis of D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η

We perform for the first time an amplitude analysis of the decay D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η and report the observation of the decay D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} using 2.93  fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector. As the only W-annihilation-free decay among D to a_{0}(980) pseudoscalar, D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} is the ideal decay in extracting the contributions of the W-emission amplitudes involving a_{0}(980) and to study the final-state interactions. The absolute branching fraction of D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η is measured to be (1.27±0.04_{stat}±0.03_{syst})%. The branching fractions of intermediate processes D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}a_{0}(980)^{+} with a_{0}(980)^{+}→π^{+}η and D^{+}→π^{+}K[over ¯]_{0}^{*}(1430)^{0} with K[over ¯]_{0}^{*}(1430)^{0}→K_{S}^{0}η are measured to be (1.33±0.05_{stat}±0.04_{syst})% and (0.14±0.03_{stat}±0.01_{syst})%, respectively.

Observation of Significant Flavor-SU(3) Breaking in the Kaon Wave Function at 12<Q^{2}<25 GeV^{2} and Discovery of the Charmless Decay ψ(3770)→K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}

We present cross sections for the reaction e^{+}e^{-}→K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0} at center-of-mass energies ranging from 3.51 to 4.95 GeV using data samples collected in the BESIII experiment, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 26.5  fb^{-1}.

Investigation of the ΔI=1/2 Rule and Test of CP Symmetry through the Measurement of Decay Asymmetry Parameters in Ξ^{-} Decays

Using (10087±44)×10^{6}  J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, numerous Ξ^{-} and Λ decay asymmetry parameters are simultaneously determined from the process J/ψ→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+}→Λ(pπ^{-})π^{-}Λ[over ¯](n[over ¯]π^{0})π^{+} and its charge-conjugate channel. The precisions of α_{Λ0} for Λ→nπ^{0} and α[over ¯]_{Λ0} for Λ[over ¯]→n[over ¯]π^{0} compared to world averages are improved by factors of 4 and 1.7, respectively. The ratio of decay asymmetry parameters of Λ→nπ^{0} to that of Λ→pπ^{-}, ⟨α_{Λ0}⟩/⟨α_{Λ-}⟩, is determined to be 0.873±0.012_{-0.010}^{+0.011}, where the first and the second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The ratio is smaller than unity more than 5σ, which signifies the existence of the ΔI=3/2 transition in Λ for the first time. Besides, we test for CP symmetry in Ξ^{-}→Λπ^{-} and in Λ→nπ^{0} with the best precision to date.

Observation of D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ}, Precision Test of Lepton Flavor Universality with D_{s}^{+}→η^{(')}l^{+}ν_{l}, and First Measurements of D_{s}^{+}→η^{(')}μ^{+}ν_{μ} Decay Dynamics

By analyzing 7.33  fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV with the BESIII detector, we report the observation of the semileptonic decay D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ}, with a statistical significance larger than 10σ, and the measurements of the D_{s}^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ} and D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ} decay dynamics for the first time. The branching fractions of D_{s}^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ} and D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}μ^{+}ν_{μ} are determined to be (2.235±0.051_{stat}±0.052_{syst})% and (0.801±0.055_{stat}±0.028_{syst})%, respectively, with precision improved by factors of 6.0 and 6.6 compared to the previous best measurements. Combined with the results for the decays D_{s}^{+}→ηe^{+}ν_{e} and D_{s}^{+}→η^{'}e^{+}ν_{e}, the ratios of the decay widths are examined both inclusively and in several ℓ^{+}ν_{ℓ} four-momentum transfer ranges. No evidence for lepton flavor universality violation is found within the current statistics. The products of the hadronic form factors f_{+,0}^{η^{(')}}(0) and the c→s Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cs}| are determined. The results based on the two-parameter series expansion are f_{+,0}^{η}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.452±0.010_{stat}±0.007_{syst} and f_{+,0}^{η^{'}}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.504±0.037_{stat}±0.012_{syst}, which help to constrain present models on f_{+,0}^{η^{(')}}(0). The forward-backward asymmetries are determined to be ⟨A_{FB}^{η}⟩=-0.059±0.031_{stat}±0.005_{syst} and ⟨A_{FB}^{η^{'}}⟩=-0.064±0.079_{stat}±0.006_{syst} for the first time, which are consistent with the theoretical calculation.

Research progress on mitochondrial damage and repairing in oocytes: A review

Oocytes are the female germ cells, which are susceptible to stress stimuli. The development of oocytes in the ovary is affected by many environmental and metabolic factors, food toxins, aging, and pathological factors. Mitochondria are the main target organelles of these factors, and the damage to mitochondrial structure and function can affect the production of ATP, the regulation of redox reactions, and apoptosis in oocytes. Mitochondrial damage is closely related to the decrease in oocyte quality and is the main factor leading to female infertility. Antioxidant foods or drugs have been used to prevent mitochondrial damage from some stressors or to repair damaged mitochondria, thereby improving oocyte development and female reproductive outcomes. In this paper, the damage of mitochondria during oocyte development by the above factors has been reviewed, and the relevant measures to alleviate the damage of mitochondria in oocytes have been discussed. Our findings may provide a theoretical basis and experimental basis for improving female fertility.

Determination of the Σ^{+} Timelike Electromagnetic Form Factors

Based on data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the process e^{+}e^{-}→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-} is studied at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=2.3960, 2.6454, and 2.9000 GeV. Using a fully differential angular description of the final state particles, both the relative magnitude and phase information of the Σ^{+} electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region are extracted. The relative phase between the electric and magnetic form factors is determined to be sinΔΦ=-0.67±0.29(stat)±0.18(syst) at sqrt[s]=2.3960  GeV, ΔΦ=55°±19°(stat)±14°(syst) at sqrt[s]=2.6454  GeV, and 78°±22°(stat)±9°(syst) at sqrt[s]=2.9000  GeV. For the first time, the phase of the hyperon electromagnetic form factors is explored in a wide range of four-momentum transfer. The evolution of the phase along with four-momentum transfer is an important input for understanding its asymptotic behavior and the dynamics of baryons.

Melatonin alleviates oxidative stress damage in mouse testes induced by bisphenol A

We investigated the effect of melatonin on bisphenol A (BPA)-induced oxidative stress damage in testicular tissue and Leydig cells. Mice were gavaged with 50 mg/kg BPA for 30 days, and concurrently, were injected with melatonin (10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg). Leydig cells were treated with 10 μmol/L of BPA and melatonin. The morphology and organ index of the testis and epididymis were observed and calculated. The sperm viability and density were determined. The expressions of melatonin receptor 1A and luteinizing hormone receptor, and the levels of malonaldehyde, antioxidant enzymes, glutathione, steroid hormone synthases, aromatase, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and estradiol were measured. TUNEL assay was utilized to detect testicular cell apoptosis. The administration of melatonin at 20 mg/kg significantly improved the testicular index and epididymis index in mice treated with BPA. Additionally, melatonin promoted the development of seminiferous tubules in the testes. Furthermore, the treatment with 20 mg/kg melatonin significantly increased sperm viability and sperm density in mice, while also promoting the expressions of melatonin receptor 1A and luteinizing hormone receptor in Leydig cells of BPA-treated mice. Significantly, melatonin reduced the level of malonaldehyde in testicular tissue and increased the expression of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase 1, superoxide dismutase 2, and catalase) as well as the content of glutathione. Moreover, melatonin also reduced the number of apoptotic Leydig cells and spermatogonia, aromatase expression, and estradiol level, while increasing the expression of steroid hormone synthases (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, cytochrome P450 family 17a1, cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/20-lyase, and, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) and the level of testosterone. Melatonin exhibited significant potential in alleviating testicular oxidative stress damage caused by BPA. These beneficial effects may be attributed to melatonin's ability to enhance the antioxidant capacity of testicular tissue, promote testosterone synthesis, and reduce testicular cell apoptosis.

Amplification-Free Digital Immunoassay down to the Attomolar Level by Synergistic Sedimentation of Brownian Motion Suppression and Dehydration Transfer

Amplification-free digital immunoassays (DIAs) typically utilize optical nanoparticles to enhance single immunocomplex molecule detection. The efficiency and uniformity of transferring the nanoparticles from a bulk solution to a solid surface determine the limit of detection (LOD) and the accuracy of DIAs. Previous methods suffer from issues like low efficiency, nonuniform distribution, and particle aggregation. Here, we present a novel technique named synergistic sedimentation of Brownian motion suppression and dehydration transfer (SynSed) for nanoparticles using water-soluble polymers. The efficiency of transferring quantum dots (QDs) was increased from 10.7 to 91.4%, and the variation in QD distribution was restricted to 8.8%. By incorporating SynSed into DIAs, we achieved a remarkable reduction in the LOD (down to 3.9 aM) for carcinoembryonic antigen and expanded the dynamic range to cover 3 orders of magnitude in concentration, ranging from 0.01 to 10 fM. DIAs enhanced with SynSed possess ultrahigh sensitivity, advanced accuracy, and specificity, offering a great premise in early disease diagnostics, risk stratification, and treatment response monitoring.

Ornidazole induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome without body surface involved: A case report

RATIONALE

Ornidazole is a synthetic nitroimidazole derivative that is commonly prescribed for antiparasitic or anti-anaerobic infections. It is generally well tolerated, with known side effects including gastrointestinal tract, anaphylaxis, and central nervous system reactions. Ornidazole-induced binocular reactive keratitis and several mucocutaneous lesions have been rarely reported.

PATIENT CONCERNS

A 52-year-old woman who suffered from vaginitis and received an ornidazole vaginal plug (0.5 g). Approximately 20 minutes after the suppository was inserted into the vagina, her lips were swollen and valva and labia were burning. Her eyes were red, sore, and watery.

DIAGNOSIS

She was diagnosed as Steven-Johnson syndrome by the ophthalmologist. According to the Naranjo scale, the adverse drug reaction was evaluated to be probable and severe.

INTERVENTIONS

Dexamethasone was intravenous administrated as anti-inflammatory therapy for 10 days. Eye drops were locally given to relieve edema and promote healing of the epithelium. The symptoms of her eyes, lips, vulva and crissum were soon relieved.

OUTCOMES

The patient was discharge from hospital with improved symptoms.

LESSONS

In order to avoid severe adverse effect, the patient should not use metronidazole ether orally or vaginally. The case emphasized the importance of rapid and accurate diagnosis of Steven-Johnson syndrome induced by ornidazole vaginal plug, especially when the eye symptoms were the chief complaint without body skin involved.

First Measurement of the Decay Asymmetry in the Pure W-Boson-Exchange Decay Λ_{c}^{+}→Ξ^{0}K^{+}

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.

Aptamer-functionalized polydiacetylene biosensor for the detection of three foodborne pathogens

Rapid, simple and sensitive screening of foodborne pathogens is of great significance to ensure food safety. In this study, an aptamer-functionalized polydiacetylene (Apta-PDA) biosensor was developed for the detection of E. coli O157:H7, S. typhimurium or V. parahaemolyticus. First, aptamers responding to the target bacteria were modified on the surface of magnetic beads by covalent binding to form MBs-oligonucleotide conjugates for bacterial enrichment. Then, an Apta-PDA biosensor was obtained by connecting the aptamers to the PDA nanovesicles using the carbodiimide method. Molecular recognition occurred in the presence of the target bacteria, whereby the aptamer folded into a sequence-defined unique structure, resulting in an MBs-Apta/bacteria/Apta-PDA sandwich structure. Due to the optical properties of PDA, the blue-red transition of the detection system could be observed by the naked eye and quantified by the colorimetric response percentage (CR%). Under optimized conditions, the detection limits of E. coli O157:H7, S. typhimurium and V. parahaemolyticus were 39, 60 and 60 CFU/ml, respectively, with a selectivity of 100% and a reaction time of 30 min. Compared with the gold standard method, the accuracy of the three target bacteria detection reached 98%, 97.5% and 97%, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity were both greater than 90%. The entire detection process was rapid and easy to execute without any special equipment, making this technology particularly suitable for resource-poor laboratories or regions.

Circ-Slain2 Alleviates Cartilage Degradation and Inflammation of TMJOA

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a degenerative disease with the cessation of matrix anabolism and aggravation of inflammation, which results in severe pain and impaired joint function. However, the mechanisms are not well understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are reported to have various biological functions and participate in the development, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of different diseases. This study aimed to investigate the roles and mechanisms of circ-slain2 in TMJOA. We first established TMJOA mouse models and found circ-slain2 was lowly expressed in the cartilage of TMJOA through sequencing data. We observed that circ-slain2 is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm and downregulated in mouse condylar chondrocytes (mCCs) treated with tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interferon γ (IFNγ). Micro-computed tomography and histological examination showed that intra-articular injection of circ-slain2 overexpressing adeno-associated virus could alleviate cartilage catabolism and synovial inflammation to relieve TMJOA in vivo. In addition, elevated circ-slain2 also showed anticatabolic and anti-inflammatory effects on IFNγ- and TNFα-stimulated mouse condylar chondrocytes (mCCs). Functional enrichment analysis indicated that protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was associated with TMJOA, and further functional experiments confirmed that circ-slain2 could suppress ER stress in OA mCCs. RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assay revealed an overt interaction between activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and circ-slain2. Inhibition of the expression of both ATF6 and circ-slain2 resulted in dilation of the ER and enhanced the expression of ER stress markers, whose ER stress level was higher than inhibition of ATF6 but lower than knockdown of circ-slain2 expression. Collectively, our research demonstrated that circ-slain2 could regulate ATF6 to relieve ER stress, reducing temporomandibular joint cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation. These findings provide prospects for developing novel osteoarthritis therapies based on circ-slain2 by focusing on reducing the inflammation of synovium and the imbalance between matrix synthesis and degradation.

A bifunctional agent for efficient imaging of PD-L1 and antimelanoma activity

Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-L1 lead to challenging patterns of efficacy and toxicity. Herein, by focusing on tracing the molecular biomarker of response to efficacy, we formulated a central hypothesis for the construction of theranostic functional monoclonal antibody incorporation with tracing ability based on fluorescence turn-on and controllable release strategies. Functional atezolizumab was constructed by in situ assembly of both biorthogonal group and controllable release group. The theranostic monoclonal antibodies achieved quantitative monitoring of PD-L1 on cells with different expression levels through biorthogonal light-up fluorescence, followed by the release of atezolizumab in combination with high tumor reduction conditions to promote immune activation. The combination of bio-orthogonal reaction-driven fluorescence turn-on and tumor microenvironment-responsive controllable release afforded theranostic bifunctional monoclonal antibodies for the detection of PD-L1 and combination therapy. Remarkably, these novel theranostics might be used as probes for fluorescent imaging and simultaneously achieving potent antitumor efficacy.

Immunohistochemical localisation of aquaporin 2 and vasopressin type 2 receptor in the human endolymphatic sac

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to determine the distribution and subcellular localisation of aquaporin 2 and vasopressin type 2 receptor in the human endolymphatic sac.

METHODS

Ten samples of human endolymphatic sac were collected during acoustic neurinoma removal using the translabyrinthine approach. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were performed using aquaporin 2 and vasopressin type 2 receptor monoclonal antibodies.

RESULTS

Confocal microscopy demonstrated that vasopressin type 2 receptor labelling was expressed in both the apical and basolateral plasma membranes, and in the cytoplasm of the endolymphatic sac epithelium, whereas aquaporin 2 was strongly expressed at the basolateral site of the endolymphatic sac epithelium, in both the intraosseous and extraosseous parts of the endolymphatic sac.

CONCLUSION

Both aquaporin 2 and vasopressin type 2 receptor were detected in the epithelial cells of the human endolymphatic sac, suggesting that this channel may be involved in inner-ear fluid homeostasis. However, strong basolateral expression of aquaporin 2 in endolymphatic sac epithelium suggested that the function of aquaporin 2 may differ between the endolymphatic sac and kidney.

A patent perspective of antiangiogenic agents

INTRODUCTION

Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in the development of numerous vascular structures and is involved in a variety of physiologic and pathologic processes, including psoriasis, diabetic retinopathy, and especially cancer. By obstructing the process of angiogenesis, these therapies effectively inhibit the progression of the disease. Consequently, anti-angiogenic agents were subsequently developed.

AREAS COVERED

This review provides a comprehensive summary of the anti-angiogenic inhibitors developed in the past five years in terms of chemical structure, biochemical/pharmacological activity and potential clinical applications. A literature search was conducted using utilizing the databases Web of Science, SciFinder and PubMed with the key word 'anti-angiogenic agents' and 'angiogenesis inhibitor.'

EXPERT OPINION

This is despite the fact that the concept of antiangiogenesis has been proposed for more than 50 years and angiogenesis inhibitors are extensively employed in clinical practice. However, significant challenges continue to confront them. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of patents focusing on angiogenesis inhibitors. These patents aim to enhance the selectivity of drugs against VEGF/VEGFR, explore new targets to overcome drug resistance, and explore potential drug combinations, thereby expanding the therapeutic possibilities in this field.

Protection of the receptor binding domain (RBD) dimer against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants

IMPORTANCE

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants achieved immune escape and became less virulent and easily transmissible through rapid mutation in the spike protein, thus the efficacy of vaccines on the market or in development continues to be challenged. Updating the vaccine, exploring compromise vaccination strategies, and evaluating the efficacy of candidate vaccines for the emerging variants in a timely manner are important to combat complex and volatile SARS-CoV-2. This study reports that vaccines prepared from the dimeric receptor-binding domain (RBD) recombinant protein, which can be quickly produced using a mature and stable process platform, had both good immunogenicity and protection in vivo and could completely protect rodents from lethal challenge by SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, including the emerging Omicron XBB.1.16, highlighting the value of dimeric recombinant vaccines in the post-COVID-19 era.

Test of CP Symmetry in Hyperon to Neutron Decays

The quantum entangled J/ψ→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-} pairs from (1.0087±0.0044)×10^{10}  J/ψ events taken by the BESIII detector are used to study the nonleptonic two-body weak decays Σ^{+}→nπ^{+} and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→n[over ¯]π^{-}. The CP-odd weak decay parameters of the decays Σ^{+}→nπ^{+} (α_{+}) and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→n[over ¯]π^{-} (α[over ¯]_{-}) are determined to be 0.0481±0.0031_{stat}±0.0019_{syst} and -0.0565±0.0047_{stat}±0.0022_{syst}, respectively. The decay parameter α[over ¯]_{-} is measured for the first time, and the accuracy of α_{+} is improved by a factor of 4 compared to the previous results. The simultaneously determined decay parameters allow the first precision CP symmetry test for any hyperon decay with a neutron in the final state with the measurement of A_{CP}=(α_{+}+α[over ¯]_{-})/(α_{+}-α[over ¯]_{-})=-0.080±0.052_{stat}±0.028_{syst}. Assuming CP conservation, the average decay parameter is determined as ⟨α_{+}⟩=(α_{+}-α[over ¯]_{-})/2=-0.0506±0.0026_{stat}±0.0019_{syst}, while the ratios α_{+}/α_{0} and α[over ¯]_{-}/α[over ¯]_{0} are -0.0490±0.0032_{stat}±0.0021_{syst} and -0.0571±0.0053_{stat}±0.0032_{syst}, where α_{0} and α[over ¯]_{0} are the decay parameters of the decays Σ^{+}→pπ^{0} and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→p[over ¯]π^{0}, respectively.

Measurement of Energy-Dependent Pair-Production Cross Section and Electromagnetic Form Factors of a Charmed Baryon

We study the process e^{+}e^{-}→Λ_{c}^{+}Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-} at twelve center-of-mass energies from 4.6119 to 4.9509 GeV using data samples collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The Born cross sections and effective form factors (|G_{eff}|) are determined with unprecedented precision after combining the single and double-tag methods based on the decay process Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+}. Flat cross sections around 4.63 GeV are obtained and no indication of the resonant structure Y(4630), as reported by Belle, is found. In addition, no oscillatory behavior is discerned in the |G_{eff}| energy dependence of Λ_{c}^{+}, in contrast to what is seen for the proton and neutron cases. Analyzing the cross section together with the polar-angle distribution of the Λ_{c}^{+} baryon at each energy point, the moduli of electric and magnetic form factors (|G_{E}| and |G_{M}|) are extracted and separated. For the first time, the energy dependence of the form factor ratio |G_{E}/G_{M}| is observed, which can be well described by an oscillatory function.

Identification of tanshinone I as cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor with broad-spectrum antiviral effect

IMPORTANCE

The spread of avian-borne, tick-borne, and rodent-borne pathogens has the potential to pose a serious threat to human health, and candidate vaccines as well as therapeutics for these pathogens are urgently needed. Tanshinones, especially tanshinone I, were identified as a cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor with broad-spectrum antiviral effects on negative-stranded, segmented RNA viruses including bandavirus, orthomyxovirus, and arenavirus from natural products, implying an important resource of candidate antivirals from the traditional Chinese medicines. This study supplies novel candidate antivirals for the negative-stranded, segmented RNA virus and highlights the endonuclease involved in the cap-snatching process as a reliable broad-spectrum antiviral target.

Determination of Spin-Parity Quantum Numbers for the Narrow Structure near the pΛ[over ¯] Threshold in e^{+}e^{-}→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯]+c.c

A narrow structure in the pΛ[over ¯] system near the mass threshold, named as X(2085), is observed in the process e^{+}e^{-}→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯] with a statistical significance greater than 20σ. Its spin and parity are determined for the first time to be J^{P}=1^{+} in an amplitude analysis, with a statistical significance greater than 5σ over other quantum numbers (0^{-},1^{-} and 2^{+}). The pole positions of X(2085) are measured to be M_{pole}=(2084_{-2}^{+4}±9)  MeV and Γ_{pole}=(58_{-3}^{+4}±25)  MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The analysis is based on the study of the process e^{+}e^{-}→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯] and uses the data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=4.008, 4.178, 4.226, 4.258, 4.416, and 4.682 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 8.35  fb^{-1}.

Precise Measurement of the e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*+}D_{s}^{*-} Cross Sections at Center-of-Mass Energies from Threshold to 4.95 GeV

The process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*+}D_{s}^{*-} is studied with a semi-inclusive method using data samples at center-of-mass energies from threshold to 4.95 GeV collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross sections of the process are measured for the first time with high precision in this energy region. Two resonance structures are observed in the energy-dependent cross sections around 4.2 and 4.4 GeV. By fitting the cross sections with a coherent sum of three Breit-Wigner amplitudes and one phase-space amplitude, the two significant structures are assigned masses of (4186.8±8.7±30) and (4414.6±3.4±6.1)  MeV/c^{2}, widths of (55±15±53) and (122.5±7.5±8.1)  MeV, where the first errors are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The inclusion of a third Breit-Wigner amplitude is necessary to describe a structure around 4.79 GeV.

First Experimental Study of the Purely Leptonic Decay D_{s}^{*+}→e^{+}ν_{e}

Using 7.33  fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data taken with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first experimental study of the purely leptonic decay D_{s}^{*+}→e^{+}ν_{e}. Our data contain a signal of this decay with a statistical significance of 2.9σ. The branching fraction of D_{s}^{*+}→e^{+}ν_{e} is measured to be (2.1_{-0.9_{stat}}^{+1.2}±0.2_{syst})×10^{-5}, corresponding to an upper limit of 4.0×10^{-5} at the 90% confidence level. Taking the total width of the D_{s}^{*+} [(0.070±0.028)  keV] predicted with the radiative D_{s}^{*+} decay from the lattice QCD calculation as input, the decay constant of the D_{s}^{*+} is determined to be f_{D_{s}^{*+}}=(214_{-46_{stat}}^{+61}±44_{syst})  MeV, corresponding to an upper limit of 354 MeV at the 90% confidence level.

Landscape of the Radiosensitizing Properties of Targeted Agents from the NCI CTEP Portfolio across Genomically Diverse 3D Tumor Models

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S)

Clinical translation of molecular targeted radiosensitizers remains challenging. To improve the robustness of preclinical data, we sought to broadly examine across a wide spectrum of genomic cancer features the radiosensitizing properties of targeted drugs from the NCI Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP).

MATERIALS/METHODS

As part of a U01 Consortium, we adapted a robotic high-throughput platform for testing ionizing radiation (IR) plus drug combinations in 3D cultures derived from non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), head/neck (HNSCC), and pancreatic cancers. All cell lines were annotated, mycoplasma free, and re-authenticated. Signal windows were established for all 3D growth formats. CTEP drugs were added in four concentrations 24 hours prior to IR exposure of 384-well plates. Five days after IR, cell viability was assessed, an endpoint previously benchmarked using colony formation. Each data point was based on 4-6 technical replicates with 2 biological repeats. A multistep statistical method combining Wilcoxon signed-rank and Spearman rank-order correlation tests together with adjusted Benjamini-Hochberg corrections for multiple comparisons was used to identify radiosensitization hits. Select validation experiments of hits were carried out.

RESULTS

We screened 73 3D tumor models with 34-42 CTEP drugs each plus IR (n = 10,744 cell line/drug concentration combinations). IR/drug patterns were comparable for the three cancer types. DNA damage response (DDR) inhibitors constituted the most active class of radiosensitizers with DNA-PKcs, PARP, and ATR being the top targets. In contrast, the majority of the other agents radiosensitized only a minority of models. Highlighting NSCLC, out of 1,120 cell line/drug combinations, 328 (29.3%) were associated with statistically significant radiosensitization. PARP inhibitors, of particular interest for clinical translation in this space, demonstrated relatively broad radiosensitization for talazoparib (62%) and olaparib (44%) but less so for veliparib (28%), which correlated with differential PARP trapping potentials. Radiosensitization was evident even for tumor genotypes associated with radioresistance such as mutant KRAS, KEAP1, and STK11. Interestingly, single-agent activity of olaparib was more pronounced in 11/30 3D cultures compared to 2D growth conditions but with only 2/11 having known homologous recombination defects. Lastly, for HPV negative HNSCC (735 combinations), there was radiosensitization in subsets of models for IAP, ATR, and AKT targets, which are under clinical investigation.

CONCLUSION

We present a unique resource for examining radiosensitizing drug properties in 3D cultures. The observed radiosensitization patterns strongly argue for the use of larger panels of clinically relevant tumor models rather than a few non-representative cell lines. Our data highlight the urgent need for predictive biomarkers to guide IR/drug combinations, even for some DDR inhibitors.

An Adaptive Multi-Feature Fusion Network for Predicting Overall Survival of Patients with Head and Neck Cancer

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S)

Accurate prognostic prediction could allow personalized treatment to achieve optimal clinical outcome. We aimed to develop a highly predictive overall survival model, considering the complementary relationships between clinical information, traditional radiomics and deep image information, to further improve the overall prediction accuracy by constructing a richer feature set and adaptive weighting.

MATERIALS/METHODS

A total of 427 patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC) patients from the TCIA database were included. 341 cases were used for training, 86 cases were used as an independent cohort. Patient characteristics, including TMN, age, gender, HPV status, smoking or drinking status, etc. were considered as potential predictors. Traditional radiomics features of gross tumor volume (GTV) was extracted from planning CT using open-source software. In addition, a two-dimensional convolutional network (2D_CNN) was designed to extract deep image features. An adaptive multi-feature fusion network was developed to predict overall survival of patients based on three types of features. The fusion network integrates an attention mechanism to the channel dimension to obtain proper weighting of each channel in the feature graph through the fully connected network by focusing on effective feature channels and automatic learning according to the loss, thus improving the utilization rate of effective features. The model performance was evaluated using the area-under-ROC-curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score.

RESULTS

The AUCs of predictive models based on clinical features, traditional radiomics features and deep image features were 0.7, 0.61 and 0.72, respectively. Combining patient characteristics, radiomic features and deep imaging features, the AUCs of the prediction models was significantly improved to 0.85 and 0.86 (with attention mechanisms) for the independent test cohort (Table 1).

CONCLUSION

The proposed adaptive multi-channel network assigned effective weights to the potential predictors, selectively enhanced useful features while suppressed irrelevant features, enabling more accurate feature map weights. We demonstrated the improved predictive value, with a multi-channel fusion network integrated with an attention mechanism, for overall survival of OPC patients.

A Novel Multi-Objective Based Feature Selection Method for Response Prediction

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S)

Accurate response prediction is essential towards personalized treatment in radiation therapy. Excessive imaging features, extracted from medical images, pose a great challenge in radiomic analyses. Feature selection is an essential step to remove redundant and irrelevant features for model construction.

MATERIALS/METHODS

We proposed a novel multi-objective based radiomic feature selection method (MRMOPSO), where the number of features, sensitivity, and specificity are jointly considered as optimization objectives for feature selection. The MRMOPSO innovated by three aspects: 1) Fisher score initialize the feature population to speed up the convergence; 2) Min-redundancy particle generation operations to reduce the redundancy between radiomic features, a truncation strategy was also introduced; 3) Particle selection operation guided by elitism strategies to improve local search ability of the algorithm. We evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed MRMOPSO method using a cohort of oropharyngeal cancer patients from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). 357 patients were used for model training and additional 64 patients were used for independent evaluation. The proposed methods were compared with (a) classical feature selection methods, i.e., Lasso, minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance criterion (mRMR), F-score, and mutual information (MI), (b) single-objective feature selection methods, i.e., genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) and (c) multi-objective feature selection methods, i.e., multiple objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA II).

RESULTS

The other feature selection methods yielded AUCs, sensitivity, specificity of (0.48-0.71), (0.49-0.86), (0.33-0.67), respectively. The MRMOPSO achieved significantly highly AUC of 0.84 with smaller number of selected features on the independent dataset (Table 1). Additionally, the MRMOPSO remarkably improved the sensitivity (0.81), specificity (0.81) and achieved an excellent balance between sensitively and specificity.

CONCLUSION

We demonstrated a novel multi-objective based radiomic feature selection method. The proposed algorithm effectively reduced feature dimension, and achieved superior AUC with simultaneous improved sensitivity and specificity, for radiomic response prediction.

Search for Λ[over ¯]-Λ Baryon-Number-Violating Oscillations in the Decay J/ψ→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯]+c.c

We report on the first search for Λ[over ¯]-Λ oscillations in the decay J/ψ→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯]+c.c. by analyzing 1.31×10^{9}  J/ψ events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The J/ψ events are produced using e^{+}e^{-} collisions at a center of mass energy sqrt[s]=3.097  GeV. No evidence for hyperon oscillations is observed. The upper limit for the oscillation rate of Λ[over ¯] to Λ hyperons is determined to be P(Λ)=[B(J/ψ→pK^{-}Λ+c.c.)/B(J/ψ→pK^{-}Λ[over ¯]+c.c.)]<4.4×10^{-6} corresponding to an oscillation parameter δm_{ΛΛ[over ¯]} of less than 3.8×10^{-18}  GeV at the 90% confidence level.

Risk factors for bloodstream infection in paediatric haematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a standard treatment for paediatric haematological diseases, is highly associated with bloodstream infection (BSI), which may increase mortality.

AIM

To explore the risk factors for BSI in paediatric HSCT recipients.

METHODS

Three English databases and four Chinese databases were searched from inception to March 17th, 2022. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies that enrolled HSCT recipients aged ≤18 years and reported BSI risk factors. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. Using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE), certainty of body of evidence was assessed.

FINDINGS

Fourteen studies involving 4602 persons were included. The incidences of BSI and associated mortality in paediatric HSCT recipients were approximately 10-50% and 5-15%, respectively. Meta-analysis of all studies revealed that previous BSI before HSCT (relative effect (RE): 2.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-4.34, moderate certainty) and receiving an umbilical cord blood transplant (RE: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.22-1.97, moderate certainty) were probably associated with an increased risk of BSI. Meta-analysis of studies with low risk of bias reassured that previous BSI before HSCT probably increased the risk of BSI (RE: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.19-4.34, moderate certainty), and revealed that steroid use (RE: 2.72; 95% CI: 1.31-5.64, moderate certainty) was likely a risk factor whereas autologous HSCT was probably a protective factor of BSI (RE: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45-0.94, moderate certainty).

CONCLUSION

These findings could inform the management of paediatric HSCT recipients, helping identify who may benefit from prophylactic antibiotics.

Identification of potential targets against SARS-CoV-2 of antiviral drugs based on photoaffinity probes

Facing the sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is extremely urgent to develop effective antiviral drugs against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Drug repurposing is a promising strategy for the treatment of COVID-19. To identify the precise target protein of marketed medicines, we initiate a chemical biological program to identify precise target of potential antivirus drugs. In this study, two types of recombinant human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 RdRp protein capturing probes with various photoaffinity labeling units were designed and synthesized based on the structure of FDA-approved drugs stavudine, remdesivir, acyclovir, and aladenosine. Fortunately, it was found that one novel photoaffinity probe, RD-1, could diaplayed good affinity with SARS-CoV-2 RdRp around the residue ARG_553. In addition, RD-1 probe also exhibited potent inhibitory activity against 3CLpro protease. Taken together, our findings will elucidate the structural basis for the efficacy of marketed drugs, and explore a rapid and efficient strategy of drug repurposing based on the identification of new targets. Moreover, these results could also provide a scientific basis for the clinical application of marketed drugs.

[Long-term outcome of transcatheter repair of paravalvular leak post surgical mitral valve replacement]

Objective: To explore the long-term clinical efficacy of transcatheter repair of mitral paravalvular leak (PVL) post surgical mitral valve replacement. Methods: This study is a retrospective study. Patients who completed transcatheter repair of paravalvular leak after surgical mitral valve replacement at Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2010 to December 2018 were included. Technical success was defined as the occluder being stably implanted in the paravalvular leak site without affecting the function of the mitral valve and surrounding tissues; and there were no intervention-related complications, such as new hemolysis or aggravated hemolysis, and echocardiography confirmed mitral paravalvular regurgitation reduced by more than 1 grade. Patients were followed up at 30 days, 1, and 3 years after the intervention. The main endpoints were all-cause death and re-surgery due to interventional failure or serious complications. The occurrence of occluder-mediated hemolysis and chronic renal insufficiency was recorded, and patients were monitored with echocardiography during follow up. Results: A total of 75 patients were included, aged (54.3±22.9) years old, and 38 patients were males. All patients had decreased cardiac function and/or hemolysis before intervention. Procedural success was achieved in 54 patients (72.0%). Incidence of device-mediated hemolysis was 18.7% (14/75). During the follow-up period, all-cause death occurred in 7 patients (9.3%), and 3 were cardiac deaths.The 3-year event-free survival rate was 81.3% (61/75). The need for cardiac surgery was 9.3% (7/75): 3 cases due to severe device-mediated hemolysis, 2 cases due to prosthetic valve failure and 2 cases due to moderate to severe residual regurgitation. The echocardiography follow-up results showed that the position of the occluder was stable, there was no impact on the artificial valve function and surrounding structures, and the residual regurgitation was stable without progressive increase in event-free patients. Compared with pre-intervention, the left ventricular end systolic diameter ((33.9±7.4)mm vs. (38.3±8.9) mm, P=0.036), end diastolic diameter ((53.7±8.3) mm vs. (58.4±9.1) mm, P=0.045) and left atrial diameter (59.3 (44.5, 90.7) mm vs. 64.3 (44.8, 96.6) mm, P=0.049) were significantly reduced, pulmonary artery systolic pressure was also significantly decreased ((36.5±15.8) mmHg vs. (46.3±14.9) mmHg, P=0.022, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). There was no significant difference between 3 years and 1 year after transcatheter repair of mitral paravalvular leak post surgical mitral valve replacement (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Transcatheter repair of mitral paravalvular leak post surgical mitral valve replacement is an effective treatment option in selective patients.

[Puerarin alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute kidney injury in mice by modulating the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway]

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the role of the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway in mediating the effect of puerarin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI).

METHODS

Fifteen BALB/C mice were randomized into control group, LPS group and puerarin treatment group, and in the latter two groups, the mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (5 mg/kg), followed by daily injection of normal saline for 3 days or injection of puerarin (25 mg/kg) given 1 h later and then on a daily basis for 3 days. On day 5 after modeling, the kidney tissues were taken for histological observation and detection of cell apoptosis. The renal function indexes including urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were measured, and the expressions of SIRT1 and NF-κB-p65(acetyl K310) in the renal tissues were detected.

RESULTS

Intraperitoneal injection of LPS caused obvious glomerular capillary dilatation, hyperemia, renal interstitial edema, and renal tubular epithelial cell swelling and deformation in the mice. The mouse models of LPS-induced AKI also showed significantly increased renal tubular injury score and renal cell apoptosis (P < 0.01) with increased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM-1, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01), enhanced renal expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65(acetyl K310) (P < 0.01) and lowered renal expression of SIRT1 (P < 0.05). Treatment with puerarin effectively alleviated LPS-induced renal interstitial edema and renal tubular epithelial cell shedding, lowered renal tubular injury score (P < 0.01) and renal cell apoptosis rate (P < 0.01), and decreased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01). Puerarin treatment significantly reduced TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65 (acetyl K310) expression in the renal tissue (P < 0.05) and increased SIRT1 expression by 17% (P < 0.05) in the mouse models.

CONCLUSION

Puerarin can effectively alleviate LPS-induced AKI in mice possibly by modulating the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Identification of a Putative SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Inhibitor through In Silico Screening of Self-Designed Molecular Library

There have been outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 around the world for over three years, and its variants continue to evolve. This has become a major global health threat. The main protease (M^pro, also called 3CL^pro) plays a key role in viral replication and proliferation, making it an attractive drug target. Here, we have identified a novel potential inhibitor of M^pro, by applying the virtual screening of hundreds of nilotinib-structure-like compounds that we designed and synthesized. The screened compounds were assessed using SP docking, XP docking, MM-GBSA analysis, IFD docking, MD simulation, ADME/T prediction, and then an enzymatic assay in vitro. We finally identified the compound V291 as a potential SARS-CoV-2 M^pro inhibitor, with a high docking affinity and enzyme inhibitory activity. Moreover, the docking results indicate that His41 is a favorable amino acid for pi-pi interactions, while Glu166 can participate in salt-bridge formation with the protonated primary or secondary amines in the screened molecules. Thus, the compounds reported here are capable of engaging the key amino acids His41 and Glu166 in ligand-receptor interactions. A pharmacophore analysis further validates this assertion.

BPA interferes with granulosa cell development and oocyte meiosis in mouse preantral follicles

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an established environmental endocrine disruptor and can interfere with the development of female germ cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. We investigated the effects of BPA on granulosa cell development and meiosis of oocytes using in vitro culture system of mouse preantral follicles. Preantral follicles from D14 mouse ovary were treated with 10 μg/mL BPA in vitro for 11 days. The adherent area of follicles was measured. On D11, cumulus cell expansion was observed. The meiosis recovery rate was calculated. Western blot detected P53, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), estrogen receptor α (ERα), and cyclin B1. ELISA measured estrogen and progesterone levels. Immunofluorescence detected Cx37 on oocyte membrane. Gap junction communication was assessed. We found that BPA significantly promoted the expressions of PCNA and ERα in granulosa cells and the secretion of estrogen and progesterone by granulosa cells on D10 and significantly increased the attachment area of the follicles on D8 and D10. However, it reduced the expansion of cumulus cells, Cx37 expression, and the gap junction communication between cumulus cells and oocytes on D11. BPA promoted the recovery of oocytes from meiosis, interrupted the expression of cyclin B1 protein in arrested germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) oocytes, and reduced the in vitro maturation rate of oocytes. These GVBD oocytes were live without apoptosis or death. Conclusively, BPA disturbs the development of granulosa cells and the meiosis progression of oocytes by decreasing gap junction communication between oocytes and the granulosa cells as well as regulating cyclin B1 expression in GVBD oocytes.

First Study of Reaction Ξ^{0}n→Ξ^{-}p Using Ξ^{0}-Nucleus Scattering at an Electron-Positron Collider

Using (1.0087±0.0044)×10^{10}  J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, the process Ξ^{0}n→Ξ^{-}p is studied, where the Ξ^{0} baryon is produced in the process J/ψ→Ξ^{0}Ξ[over ¯]^{0} and the neutron is a component of the ^{9}Be, ^{12}C, and ^{197}Au nuclei in the beam pipe. A clear signal is observed with a statistical significance of 7.1σ. The cross section of the reaction Ξ^{0}+^{9}Be→Ξ^{-}+p+^{8}Be is determined to be σ(Ξ^{0}+^{9}Be→Ξ^{-}+p+^{8}Be)=(22.1±5.3_{stat}±4.5_{sys})  mb at the Ξ^{0} momentum of 0.818  GeV/c, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. No significant H-dibaryon signal is observed in the Ξ^{-}p final state. This is the first study of hyperon-nucleon interactions in electron-positron collisions and opens up a new direction for such research.

Two Schiff base iodide compounds as iodide ion conductors showing high conductivity

Here, we reported the crystal structures, dielectric and conducting properties of two Schiff base iodide compounds [m-BrBz-1-APy]I₃ (1) and [o-FBz-1-APy]I₃ (2). The Schiff base cations build irregular channel frameworks, and the polyiodide anions are located in the channel. The impedance spectra demonstrated that the two compounds show intrinsic iodide ion conductance with higher conductivity of 1.03(4) × 10^-4 S cm^-1 at 343 K for 1 and 4.94(3) × 10^-3 S cm^-1 at 353 K for 2. The dielectric modulus analysis further confirmed that the conductance contributed to the migration of iodide ions.

Measurements of Normalized Differential Cross Sections of Inclusive π^{0} and K_{S}^{0} Production in e^{+}e^{-} Annihilation at Energies from 2.2324 to 3.6710 GeV

Based on electron positron collision data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage rings, the differential cross sections of inclusive π^{0} and K_{S}^{0} production as a function of hadron momentum, normalized by the total cross section of the e^{+}e^{-}→hadrons process, are measured at six center-of-mass energies from 2.2324 to 3.6710 GeV. Our results, which cover a relative hadron energy range from 0.1 to 0.9, significantly deviate from several theoretical calculations based on existing fragmentation functions.

Precision Measurement of the Decay Σ^{+}→pγ in the Process J/ψ→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-}

Using (10 087±44)×10^{6} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, the radiative hyperon decay Σ^{+}→pγ is studied at an electron-positron collider experiment for the first time. The absolute branching fraction is measured to be (0.996±0.021_{stat}±0.018_{syst})×10^{-3}, which is lower than its world average value by 4.2 standard deviations. Its decay asymmetry parameter is determined to be -0.652±0.056_{stat}±0.020_{syst}. The branching fraction and decay asymmetry parameter are the most precise to date, and the accuracies are improved by 78% and 34%, respectively.

Discovery of intracellular self-assembly protein degraders driven by tumor-specific activatable bioorthogonal reaction

Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) is a type of bifunctional chimeric molecule that can directly degrade the binding proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. PROTAC has shown great potential in overcoming drug resistance and targeting undruggable targets. However, there are still many shortcomings that need to be solved urgently, including worse membrane permeability and bioavailability induced by their large molecular weight. Herein, we used intracellular self-assembly strategy to construct tumor-specific PROTACs via small molecular precursors. We developed two types of precursors incorporated with azide and alkyne as biorthogonal groups, respectively. These small precursors with improved membrane permeability could react facilely with each other under the catalysis of copper ions with high concentration in tumor tissues, affording novel PROTACs. These novel intracellular self-assembled PROTACs could effectly induce degradation of VEGFR-2 and EphB4 in U87 cells. Meanwhile, they could also promote apoptosis and block cells in S phase. These tumor-specific intracellular self-assembled PROTACs exhibited high selectivity due to the high concentration of copper content in tumor tissue. Moreover, this new strategy could reduce the molecular weight of PROTACs, as well as improve the membrane permeability. These results will greatly expand the applications of bioorthogonal reaction in discovery of novel PROTACs.

Multicomponent provider-patient intervention to improve glycaemic control in Medicaid-insured pregnant individuals with type 2 diabetes: clinical trial protocol for the ACHIEVE study

INTRODUCTION

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most frequent comorbid medical conditions in pregnancy. Glycaemic control decreases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes for the pregnant individual and infant. Achieving glycaemic control can be challenging for Medicaid-insured pregnant individuals who experience a high burden of unmet social needs. Multifaceted provider-patient-based approaches are needed to improve glycaemic control in this high-risk pregnant population. Mobile health (mHealth) applications (app), provider dashboards, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and addressing social needs have been independently associated with improved glycaemic control in non-pregnant individuals living with diabetes. The combined effect of these interventions on glycaemic control among pregnant individuals with T2D remains to be evaluated.

METHODS AND ANALYSIS

In a two-arm randomised controlled trial, we will examine the combined effects of a multicomponent provider-patient intervention, including a patient mHealth app, provider dashboard, CGM, a community health worker to address non-medical health-related social needs and team-based care versus the current standard of diabetes and prenatal care. We will recruit 124 Medicaid-insured pregnant individuals living with T2D, who are ≤20 weeks of gestation with poor glycaemic control measured as a haemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5% assessed within 12 weeks of trial randomisation or within 12 weeks of enrolling in prenatal care from an integrated diabetes and prenatal care programme at a tertiary care academic health system located in the Midwestern USA. We will measure how many individuals achieve the primary outcome of glycaemic control measured as an A1c<6.5% by the time of delivery, and secondarily, adverse pregnancy outcomes; patient-reported outcomes (eg, health and technology engagement, literacy and comprehension; provider-patient communication; diabetes self-efficacy; distress, knowledge and beliefs; social needs referrals and utilisation; medication adherence) and CGM measures of glycaemic control (in the intervention group).

ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION

The Institutional Review Board at The Ohio State University approved this study (IRB: 2022H0399; date: 3 June 2023). We plan to submit manuscripts describing the user-designed methods and will submit the results of the trial for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at international scientific meetings.
