Abstract
AIMS To systematically clarify the spatiotemporal trends, and age-sex-specific blindness and vision loss (BVL) burden due to high fasting plasma glucose (HFPG) from 1990 to 2019, and project this burden over the next decade. MATERIALS AND METHODS We obtained the number and rate of years lived with disability (YLDs) for the BVL burden attributable to HFPG by age, sex, socio-demographic index (SDI), and location between 1990 and 2019 from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database. The average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) were calculated to assess the temporal trends of HFPG-attributable BVL burden. The Bayesian age-period-cohort model was used to predict the HFPG-attributable BVL burden. RESULTS In 2019, the global number and age-standardized rate (ASR) for YLDs of BVL attributable to HFPG were 673.13 (95% UI: 159.52 to 1565.34) thousand and 8.44 (95% UI: 2.00 to 19.63) per 100,000 people, respectively. The highest burdens were found in Oceania, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, and the BVL burden due to HFPG was higher in the elderly and lower SDI regions. From 1990 to 2019, the global ASR of HFPG-attributable BVL gradually increased with AAPC (95% CI) being 0.80 (0.74 to 0.86). In addition, the HFPG-attributable BVL burden will slightly increase in the future decade. CONCLUSIONS The HFPG remains the important cause of BVL worldwide, placing a substantial disease burden. From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized burden of BVL due to HFPG increased, and will consistently increase in the future decade, particularly in the elderly and in regions with middle SDI or below.

Abstract
Current management of anesthesia-associated complications falls short in terms of both efficacy and safety. Nanomaterials with versatile properties and unique nano-bio interactions hold substantial promise as therapeutics for addressing these complications. This review conducts a thorough examination of the existing nanotherapeutics and highlights the strategies for developing prospective nanomedicines to mitigate anesthetics-related toxicity. Initially, general, regional, and local anesthesia along with the commonly used anesthetics and related prevalent side effects are introduced. Furthermore, employing nanotechnology to prevent and alleviate the complications of anesthetics is systematically demonstrated from three aspects, that is, developing 1) safe nano-formulization for anesthetics; 2) nano-antidotes to sequester overdosed anesthetics and alter their pharmacokinetics; 3) nanomedicines with pharmacodynamic activities to treat anesthetics toxicity. Finally, the prospects and challenges facing the clinical translation of nanotherapeutics for anesthesia-related complications are discussed. This work provides a comprehensive roadmap for developing effective nanotherapeutics to prevent and mitigate anesthesia-associated toxicity, which can potentially revolutionize the management of anesthesia complications.

Abstract
Glycogen metabolism is a form of crucial metabolic reprogramming in cells. PYGB, the brain-type glycogen phosphorylase (GP), serves as the rate-limiting enzyme of glycogen catabolism. Evidence is mounting for the association of PYGB with diverse human diseases. This review covers the advancements in PYGB research across a range of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, nervous system diseases, and other diseases, providing a succinct overview of how PYGB functions as a critical factor in both physiological and pathological processes. We present the latest progress in PYGB in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and discuss the current limitations and future prospects of this novel and promising target.

Abstract
Gout is considered an auto-inflammatory disorder, and the immunological drivers have not been fully unraveled. This study compared the peripheral lymphocyte and CD4+T cell subsets, and cytokines in gout and healthy controls (HCs) to explore the contributions of T helper 17 (Th17) cells, T regulatory (Treg) cells and cytokines to the pathogenesis of gout. We enrolled 126 gout patients (53 early-onset gout with age of first presentation < 40 years, and 73 late-onset gout with age of first presentation ≥ 40 years) and 77 HCs. Percentage and absolute numbers of peripheral lymphocyte and CD4+T cell subpopulations in each group were detected by flow cytometry. The serum cytokine levels were determined by flow cytometric bead array. For circulating CD4+T cell subsets, Th17/Treg ratio was significantly higher in early-onset gout, late-onset gout and gout without tophus than HCs; Th17 cells were significantly elevated in early-onset gout and gout without tophus, while the percentage of Treg cells was significantly decreased in early-onset and late-onset gout. Additionally, gout patients had significantly higher cytokines levels (including IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IFN-γ, and TNF-α) than HCs; IL-2 levels were positively correlated with Treg cells and negatively correlated with ESR. ROC analysis showed that disease duration, CRP and fibrinogen, had moderate predictive performances for tophus in gout (the AUCs were 0.753, 0.703 and 0.701, respectively). Our study suggests that early-onset and late-onset gout differ in Th17/Treg imbalance, which in early-onset gout is due to elevated Th17 cells and in late-onset gout is due to decreased Treg cells. And increased serum cytokine levels, especially IL-2, may play an essential role in that. Restoring Th17/Treg balance may be a crucial way to improve the prognosis of gout patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) showed impaired immune tolerance characterized by reduced follicular regulatory T (Tfr) cells, and they also exhibited altered gut microbiotas and their metabolites in RA. However, the association of gut microbiotas and their metabolites with the immune tolerance mediated by Tfr cells in RA remains unclear. METHODS Peripheral blood and stool samples were collected from 32 new-onset RA patients and 17 healthy controls (HCs) in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between January 2022 and June 2022. The peripheral blood was used to detect the circulating regulatory T (Treg), helper T(Th)17, Tfr, and follicular helper T (Tfh) cells by modified flow cytometry. The stool samples were used to analyze the gut microbiotas and their metabolites via 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolomic profiling. We aimed to characterize the gut microbiotas and their metabolites in RA and identified their association with Tfr cell-mediated immune tolerance. RESULTS The new-onset RA demonstrated reduced Treg and Tfr cells, associated with the disease activity and autoantibodies. There were significant differences in gut microbiotas between the two groups as the results of β diversity analysis (P = 0.039) including 21 differential gut microbiotas from the phylum to genus levels. In which, Ruminococcus 2 was associated with the disease activity and autoantibodies of RA, and it was identified as the potential biomarker of RA [area under curve (AUC) = 0.782, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.636-0.929, P = 0.001]. Eleven differential metabolites were identified and participated in four main pathways related to RA. Arachidonic acid might be the potential biomarker of RA (AUC = 0.724, 95% CI = 0.595-0.909, P = 0.038), and it was the core metabolite as the positive association with six gut microbiotas enriched in RA. The reduced Tfr cells were associated with the altered gut microbiotas and their metabolites including the Ruminococcus 2, the arachidonic acid involved in the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acid pathway and the 3-methyldioxyindole involved in the tryptophan metabolism pathway. CONCLUSION The breakdown of immune tolerance mediated by reduced Tfr cells was associated with the altered gut microbiotas and their metabolites implying the possible mechanism of RA pathogenesis from the perspective of microecology-metabolism-immune.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human Deltex 2 (DTX2) is a ubiquitin E3 ligase that functions as an oncogene and has been shown to participate in many human cancers. However, the role of DTX2 in glioma progression has remained obscure. In this study, we explore the mechanism underlying the function of DTX2 in glioma progression. METHODS The associations between DTX2 expression and clinical characteristics of glioma were determined by bioinformatic analysis of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Human Protein Atlas. The expression of DTX2 in glioma tissues was detected using immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Lentivirus-mediated gene knockdown and overexpression were used to determine the effects of DTX2 and helicase-like transcription element (HLTF) on glioma cell proliferation and migration with CCK-8, cell colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays; flow cytometry in vitro; and animal models in vivo. The interaction of the DTX2 and HLTF proteins was verified by immunoprecipitation assay and confocal microscopy. RESULTS DTX2 was highly expressed in glioma samples, and this was correlated with worse overall survival. Silencing of DTX2 suppressed glioma cell viability, colony formation, and migration and induced cell apoptosis. In vitro ubiquitination assays confirmed that DTX2 could downregulate HLTF protein levels by increasing ubiquitination of the HLTF protein. We also observed that HLTF inhibited proliferation and migration of glioma cells. Subcutaneous xenografts with DTX2-overexpressing U87 cells showed significantly increased tumor volumes and weights. CONCLUSIONS We have identified DTX2/HLTF as a new axis in the development of glioma that could serve as a prognostic or therapeutic marker.

Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial diseases are one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, which not only seriously affect the health of patients' oral and maxillofacial tissues, but also bring serious economic and psychological burdens to patients. Therefore, oral and maxillofacial diseases require effective treatment. Traditional treatments have limited effects. In recent years, nature exosomes have attracted increasing attention due to their ability to diagnose and treat diseases. However, the application of nature exosomes is limited due to low yield, high impurities, lack of targeting, and high cost. Engineered exosomes can be endowed with better comprehensive therapeutic properties by modifying exosomes of parent cells or directly modifying exosomes, and biomaterial loading exosomes. Compared with natural exosomes, these engineered exosomes can achieve more effective diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillary system diseases, and provide reference and guidance for clinical application. This paper reviews the engineering modification methods of exosomes and the application of engineered exosomes in oral and maxillofacial diseases and looks forward to future research directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD147, a transmembrane glycoprotein, has been implicated in various cancer-related processes but its role in breast cancer remains poorly understood. Herein, we investigated the expression of CD147 in different breast cancer cell lines and explored its functional roles, including migration, invasion, drug resistance and modulation of key proteins associated with cancer progression. METHODS The expression of CD147 was assessed in MCF-10 A, BT549, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines using qRT-PCR and Western blotting, following which lyposome transfections were performed, leading overexpression of CD147 in BT549 cells and knockdown of CD147 in MCF-7 cells. Scratch assays and Transwell invasion and were performed to evaluate the cells' migration and invasion abilities. Sensitivity to 5-FU was determined via CCK-8 assays, and the expression of Snail1, E-cadherin, Vimentin, MMP-9 and the MAPK/ERK pathway were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with normal beast epithelial cells, CD147 was highly expressed in all breast cancer cell lines, with the highest overexpression observed in MCF-7 cells and the lowest overexpression observed in BT549 cells. Overexpression of CD147 in BT549 cells increased, migration, invasion, viability and resistance to 5-FU of BT549 cells, while CD147 knockdown in MCF-7 cells reduced these properties of MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, CD147 influenced the expression of Snail1, Vimentin, E-cadherin, and MMP-9, suggesting its involvement in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulation. The MAPK/ERK pathway was activated by CD147 in BT549 cells, as indicated by increased p-MEK/MEK ratio and p-ERK/ERK ratio. In contrast, CD147 silencing in MCF-7 cells resulted in reduced p-MEK/MEK ratio and p-ERK/ERK ratio. CONCLUSION In summary, our findings suggest CD147 as a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer treatment, particularly in cases where drug resistance and metastasis are concerns, worthy of further explorations.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) plays an important role in tumor therapy due to its noninvasiveness and wide adaptation. In recent years, radiation therapy has been discovered to induce an anti-tumor immune response, which arouses widespread concern among scientists and clinicians. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the applications of nano-biomaterials for radiotherapy-activated immunotherapy. We first discuss the combination of different radiosensitizing nano-biomaterials and immune checkpoint inhibitors to enhance tumor immune response and improve radiotherapy efficacy. Subsequently, various nano-biomaterials-enabled tumor oxygenation strategies are introduced to alleviate the hypoxic tumor environment and amplify the immunomodulatory effect. With the aid of nano-vaccines and adjuvants, radiotherapy refreshes the host's immune system. Additionally, ionizing radiation responsive nano-biomaterials raise innate immunity-mediated anti-tumor immunity. At last, we summarize the rapid development of immune modulatable nano-biomaterials and discuss the key challenge in the development of nano-biomaterials for tumor radio-immunotherapy. Understanding the nano-biomaterials-assisted radio-immunotherapy will maximize the benefits of clinical radiotherapy and immunotherapy and facilitate the development of new combinational therapy modality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary Sjogren's Syndrome (pSS) is a lymphoproliferative disease with autoimmune characteristics, which is characterized by lymphocyte infiltration of exocrine glands and involvement and dysfunction of extraglandular organs. Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a common renal involvement in pSS. This study investigated the phenotypic characteristics of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in pSS patients complicated with RTA (pSS-RTA). METHOD This retrospective study included 25 pSS patients complicated with RTA and 54 pSS patients without RTA (pSS-no-RTA). To examine the level of peripheral lymphocytes subsets, flow cytometry analysis was used. The level of serum cytokines were detected by flow cytometry bead array(CBA). The influencing factors related to the occurrence of pSS-RTA were identified through logistic regression analyze. RESULTS The absolute number of CD4 + T cells and Th2 cells in peripheral blood were decreased in pSS-RTA patients than pSS-no-RTA patients. Moreover, the absolute number of NK cells and Treg cells were also decreased in pSS-RTA patients than pSS-no-RTA. The level of serum IL-2 was higher in pSS-RTA patients than pSS-no-RTA patients, and is negatively correlated with the number of NK cells, the number and percentage of Th17 cells, and Th17/Treg. Serum IL-2 level is also correlated with various cytokines. Multivariate logistic analysis proved that elevated ESR and ALP were risk factors for pSS complicated with RTA, while Treg was a protective factor. CONCLUSION The increase of serum IL-2 level and the decrease of peripheral blood NK cells and Treg cells may be the immune mechanism of the development of pSS-RTA disease.
