Laboratory-acquired infection in clinical laboratories and the incidence rate after Brucella exposure risk events: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Hosp Infect 2025; 155:135-144. [PMID: 39427772 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhin.2024.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 10/03/2024] [Indexed: 10/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Personnel in clinical microbiology laboratories face heightened risks of occupational infections, due to the potential for pathogenicity in clinical samples. AIM To summarize the characteristics of laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs) and review exposure incidents in clinical laboratories, and to conduct a meta-analysis to estimate post-exposure incidence rates and evaluate the efficacy of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) following Brucella exposures. METHODS A systematic search across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, CMB, and the ABSA LAI database extracted relevant literature published from January 1st, 1990, to August 31st, 2023, including case reports and laboratory exposure risk events. Negative-binomial regression was used to estimate the relative increase in reported numbers per year of LAIs. Meta-analysis was performed to estimate the incidence rate (IR) of LAIs among exposed laboratory personnel after Brucella exposure risk events. FINDINGS A total of 164 LAIs were reported in hospital laboratories. Negative-binomial regression analysis indicated no significant decline in annual LAIs reports (relative risk and 95% CI: 0.98 (0.97, 1.00); P = 0.052). The leading pathogens were Brucella spp. (55.5%), Neisseria meningitidis (7.3%), and Shigella sonnei (5.5%). The meta-analysis revealed that the incidence rate for Brucella-related LAIs among laboratory personnel was 60 per 100,000 laboratory personnel. Laboratory personnel exposed to high-risk Brucella incidents faced a notably elevated infection risk, estimated at 80 per 100,000 laboratory personnel. Compared with high-risk Brucella exposures with PEP, highrisk Brucella exposures without PEP had a 6.33-fold increase in the risk of Brucella infection. CONCLUSIONS Clinical laboratory personnel remain at infection risk, with no reduction in reported LAI cases, mainly resulting from Brucella acquisitions. PEP was shown to be effective against high-risk Brucella exposures.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological, molecular pathological features, and family genetic pedigree of small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT). Methods: A total of 16 cases of SCCOHT diagnosed in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2013 to January 2023 were collected. The clinicopathologic features, SMARCA4/2/B1 protein expression, outcomes and SMARCA4 gene detection were reported. A follow-up study was also carried out. Results: The average age at diagnosis was 28.7 years (range 17-38 years). The preoperative calcium level was evaluated in 3 of 6 patients. The tumor was unilateral in all 16 cases, ranged from 8 to 26 cm (average 15.8 cm) in the greatest dimension. Extraovarian spread was present in 7 cases. In 10 cases, the tumors were initially misinterpreted as other ovarian neoplasms. BRG1 and BRM expression by immunohistochemistry were all lost in detected cases, while INI1 exhibited retained nuclear expression. All BRM-negative SCCOHTs also lacked BRG1 protein,but retained INI1 expression. SCCOHTs were only focally positive for EMA, CKpan, Calretinin, SALL4, and diffusely positive for WT1. Two of nine cases exhibited mutation-type p53 immunoreactivity. Ki-67 index was 58% on an average. ER, PR, FOXL2, α-inhibin, chromogranin A and LCA were negative in all the cases. SMARCA4 sequencing was available in 8 cases of SCCOHT, which revealed a germline SMARCA4 mutation in one patient, and others carried somatic mutation. Furthermore, two daughters, mother and an aunt of a patient with germline mutation were reported to be SMARCA4 mutation carriers. Follow-up was available for 15 patients, and the 6-month, 1-year and 2-year survival rate was 65.8%, 45.1%, and 22.6%, respectively. For patients in FIGO stages Ⅱ+Ⅲ, 6-month, 1-year survival rate was 53.6% and 35.7% respectively, compared to 80% (6-month) and 60% (1-year) in patients of staged I (P=0.358). Conclusions: With dismal prognosis of SCCOHT, accurate diagnosis is necessary. The typical age distribution, a panel of various staining results, especially concomitant loss of BRG1 and BRM may be of diagnostic aid and can be used to distinguish SCCOHT from its histological mimics. After the diagnosis of SCCOHT, genetic testing and genetic counseling are recommended.

Search for CP violation in D 0 → K S 0 K S 0 decays in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 Te V. THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL. C, PARTICLES AND FIELDS 2024; 84:1264. [PMID: 39651650 PMCID: PMC11624237 DOI: 10.1140/epjc/s10052-024-13244-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 12/11/2024]
Abstract
A search is reported for charge-parity CP violation inD 0 → K S 0 K S 0 decays, using data collected in proton-proton collisions ats = 13 Te V recorded by the CMS experiment in 2018. The analysis uses a dedicated data set that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 41.6fb - 1 , which consists of about 10 billion events containing a pair of b hadrons, nearly all of which decay to charm hadrons. The flavor of the neutral D meson is determined by the pion charge in the reconstructed decaysD ∗ + → D 0 π + andD ∗ - → D ¯ 0 π - . The CP asymmetry inD 0 → K S 0 K S 0 is measured to beA CP ( K S 0 K S 0 ) = ( 6.2 ± 3.0 ± 0.2 ± 0.8 ) % , where the three uncertainties represent the statistical uncertainty, the systematic uncertainty, and the uncertainty in the measurement of the CP asymmetry in theD 0 → K S 0 π + π - decay. This is the first CP asymmetry measurement by CMS in the charm sector as well as the first to utilize a fully hadronic final state.

[PMID: 39321659 DOI: 10.1016/j.puhe.2024.08.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate the prevalence of multiple developmental disabilities, identify associated characteristics, and examine trends among American children from 2016 to 2022. STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS Using the National Survey of Children's Health data from 2016 to 2022, we estimated the prevalence of multiple developmental disabilities among children aged 3-17 years. Multiple developmental disabilities were defined as two or more concurrent disabilities from 12 common disabilities. Trends were investigated using log-linear regression. Multivariate log-binominal regression was used to compare the prevalence prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (2016-2019) with prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022). RESULTS From 239,534 eligible children (mean age = 10.1 years; male = 51.7%), we found the overall prevalence of multiple developmental disabilities was 10.6%. The most predominant phenotype was attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder concurrent with behavioural problems (2.1%). Higher prevalence was found among boys, non-Hispanic black children, those from low-household-income families and from families with lower education levels. Prevalence of multiple developmental disabilities increased from 9.8% in 2016 to 11.5% in 2022 (P = 0.014) with significantly higher prevalence during COVID-19 pandemic than before (11.2% vs 10.1%). These increases were found consistently across most sociodemographic groups. CONCLUSIONS Children from certain socio-disadvantaged groups were disproportionally affected by multiple developmental disabilities, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to improve health. The increasing prevalence during the pandemic suggests the need for ongoing monitoring of the trend and the impact of these conditions.

Abstract
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dual-phase xenon time project chamber operating in the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, USA. We report on the results of a relativistic extension to the nonrelativistic effective field theory (NREFT) from a 5.5 t fiducial mass and 60 live days of exposure. We present constraints on couplings from covariant interactions arising from the coupling of vector, axial currents, and electric dipole moments of the nucleon to the magnetic and electric dipole moments of the weakly interacting massive particle which cannot be described by recasting previous results described by an NREFT. Using a profile-likelihood ratio analysis, in an energy region between 0 keV_{nr} to 270 keV_{nr}, we report 90% confidence level exclusion limits on the coupling strength of five interactions in both the isoscalar and isovector bases.

Abstract
Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) is a powerful neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, which can relieve muscle spasm or limit gland secretion by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular/glandular junction. In addition, BTX-A can also play a role in the sensory feedback loop, which can ease pain. Currently, dentists are paying more attention to the cosmetic applications of BTX-A in the oral and maxillofacial region, while their understanding of BTX-A's non-cosmetic applications is still insufficient. Although the specific molecular mechanism of BTX-A in oral diseases has not been fully clarified, with the development of evidence-based medicine, more and more clinical evidence has began to support the effectiveness of BTX-A in the therapeutic applications of oral diseases. This article will briefly review the main molecular mechanisms of BTX-A, the latest clinical research progress of BTX-A at home and abroad in the treatment of oral diseases, clinical contraindications and adverse reactions of BTX-A, providing a new idea for the treatment of oral diseases.

Search for Soft Unclustered Energy Patterns in Proton-Proton Collisions at 13 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 133:191902. [PMID: 39576923 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.133.191902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 11/24/2024]
Abstract
The first search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, collected in 2016-2018 by the CMS detector at the LHC. Such SUEPs are predicted by hidden valley models with a new, confining force with a large 't Hooft coupling. In events with boosted topologies, selected by high-threshold hadronic triggers, the multiplicity and sphericity of clustered tracks are used to reject the background from standard model quantum chromodynamics. With no observed excess of events over the standard model expectation, limits are set on the cross section for production via gluon fusion of a scalar mediator with SUEP-like decays.

Search for the Z Boson Decay to ττμμ in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 133:161805. [PMID: 39485967 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.133.161805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 11/03/2024]
Abstract
The first search for the Z boson decay to ττμμ at the CERN LHC is presented, based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^{-1}. The data are compatible with the predicted background. For the first time, an upper limit at the 95% confidence level of 6.9 times the standard model expectation is placed on the ratio of the Z→ττμμ to Z→4μ branching fractions. Limits are also placed on the six flavor-conserving four-lepton effective-field-theory operators involving two muons and two tau leptons, for the first time testing all such operators.

Recursive partitioning analysis model for de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with locoregional radiotherapy following chemoimmunotherapy. ESMO Open 2024; 9:103960. [PMID: 39426079 PMCID: PMC11533042 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2024.103960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2024] [Revised: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/23/2024] [Indexed: 10/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemoimmunotherapy is the first-line treatment of de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (dmNPC), with additional locoregional radiotherapy (LRRT) significantly prolonging patient survival. De novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, however, demonstrates considerable heterogeneity, resulting in significant variability in patient outcomes. We developed and validated a prognostic tool for patients undergoing first-line chemoimmunotherapy plus LRRT and to evaluate the benefit of local therapy (LT) for distant metastases across different risk levels. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 364 dmNPC patients receiving initial platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 immunotherapy followed by LRRT. Patients were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts (7 : 3 ratio). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). A prognostic model for PFS was developed using recursive partitioning analysis (RPA). RESULTS An RPA model categorized patients into five prognostic groups based on number of metastatic lesions, liver metastasis status, and post-treatment Epstein-Barr virus DNA levels. Survival analysis identified three distinct risk groups. High-risk patients had significantly poorer PFS compared with medium- and low-risk groups (2-year PFS rate: training cohort: 13.7% versus 69.4% versus 94.4%, P < 0.001; validation cohort: 7.8% versus 65.1% versus 87.3%, P < 0.001). We investigated the impact of LT for distant metastases across these risk groups and found that only patients in the medium-risk group derived benefit from LT (2-year PFS rate: 77.5% versus 64.0%; hazard ratio = 0.535, 95% confidence interval 0.297-0.966, P = 0.035). Conversely, no survival benefit from LT for distant metastases was observed in the low-risk (P = 0.218) and high-risk subgroups (P = 0.793). CONCLUSIONS Our RPA-based prognostic model integrates number of metastatic lesions, liver metastasis status, and post-treatment Epstein-Barr virus DNA levels to predict PFS in dmNPC patients undergoing chemoimmunotherapy plus LRRT. This model offers personalized treatment guidance, suggesting that patients in the medium-risk group may benefit from LT for distant metastases, while those in high- and low-risk groups may not.

Determining the optimal timing of adjuvant chemotherapy initiation after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. ESMO Open 2024; 9:103707. [PMID: 39255536 PMCID: PMC11415671 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2024.103707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on several malignancies have suggested that the time to commencement of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is associated with survival outcomes. There have, however, been no relevant reports of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS This clinical study examined newly diagnosed patients between April 2017 and December 2020. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to control for confounding factors. Cox models with restricted cubic splines, Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests were used to evaluate the relationship between AC timing and survival. RESULTS A total of 551 patients were identified [median age, 45 years (interquartile range 36-52 years); 383 (69.5%) male]. Restricted cubic splines demonstrated that the timing of AC initiation had a U-shaped association with PFS. The risk of disease progression decreased within 37 days and subsequently increased. From 37 to 90 days, each additional 7-day delay conferred worse PFS of 1.32 months {hazard ratio (HR): 1.14 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.28], P = 0.04}. The cut-off value of the receiver operating characteristic curve for initiation was 69.5 days. At a median follow-up of 48 months, the PFS was significantly better in patients initiated within 69.5 days [HR: 2.18 (95% CI 1.17-4.06), log-rank P = 0.009], with a higher 3-year rate [78.8% (95% CI 75.1% to 82.7%) versus 59.0% (95% CI 42.2% to 82.5%)] than beyond 69.5 days. Positive results were also observed in secondary endpoints. The initiation group was an independent prognostic factor [HR: 2.28 (95% CI 1.42-3.66), P < 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS The optimal timing of AC initiation is ∼37 days after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. A delay beyond 69.5 days is associated with compromised survival. Efforts should be made to address the reasons for delays and ensure the timely initiation of AC.

Ginsenoside Rg1 induces ferroptosis by regulating the focal adhesion kinase/protein kinase B-forkhead box O3A signaling pathway and alleviates sepsis-induced myocardial damage. JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY : AN OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE POLISH PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY 2024; 75. [PMID: 39415524 DOI: 10.26402/jpp.2024.4.04] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 10/18/2024]
Abstract
It is significant to note that 50% of patients with sepsis show cardiac insufficiency. Ginsenoside-Rg1 (G-Rg1) has been shown to have a cardiovascular protective effect. However, whether G-Rg1 is involved in the mechanism of action of sepsis-induced myocardial damage (SIMD) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of G-Rg1 on SIMD and to further investigate its mechanism and mechanisms of regulation of downstream pathways. An in vivo model of sepsis was established in mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and mice was administered intraperitoneally 35 or 70 mg/kg G-Rg1 after surgery. The damage to cardiac tissue was detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Forkhead transcription factor O subfamily member 3a (FOXO3A) in SIMD mice was detected by immunohistochemistry. Apoptosis in mouse myocardial tissue was determined by TUNEL staining. The effect of G-Rg1 on SIMD cardiomyocytes was evaluated by incubating the cells with lipopolysaccharide to induce inflammation as an in vitro model of SIMD. Cardiomyocyte viability and apoptosis were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and Fe2+ markers of heart damage were detected by the kit. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in heart tissue and H9c2 cells were determined by ELISA. The factors related to the focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/protein kinase B (AKT)-FOXO3A signaling pathway were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. High-dose G-Rg1 had a significant inhibitory effect on SIMD mouse model and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes, reducing serum levels of LDH, CK-MB, and cTnI concentrations, which effectively alleviated SIMD. G-Rg1 restored the abnormally elevated levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and iron ions and promoted the expression of anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) expression, inhibiting apoptosis and inflammatory responses. In addition, G-Rg1 reversed the inhibitory effect of G-Rg1 on LPS-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury through activation of the FAK/AKT signaling pathway and up-regulation of FOXO3A. G-Rg1 promoted the activation of the FAK/AKT signalling pathway and up-regulation of the protein expression levels of pathway-associated proteins, p-FAK and p-AKT. Therefore, G-Rg1 mediated the FAK/AKT-FOXO3A signaling pathway and played a role in the treatment of SIMD. We conclude that G-Rg1 inhibited apoptosis and inflammation of cardiomyocytes induced by sepsis and reduced iron ion levels by regulating FAK/AKT-FOXO3A signaling pathway.

Abstract
There is a paucity of literature describing long-term outcomes of patients with coronary artery fistula with most manuscripts focusing on those requiring interventions. We describe single-center outcomes of coronary artery fistulas including those not requiring intervention. We performed a retrospective review of the electronic medical record and identified all patients with a diagnosis of coronary artery fistula over the last 10 years. 158 patients were identified with a coronary artery fistula. The mean age at diagnosis was 5.8 years (SD ± 5.9). There was a male (55%, n = 87) predominance. Concomitant congenital heart lesion was present in 49% (n = 77) and a genetic anomaly was found in 18% (n = 29). No ischemic changes on electrocardiogram or ECG-stress test were observed. The mean follow-up was 5.0 (SD ± 3.8) years. Most patients (94%, n = 149) did not undergo an intervention. Of those 63% (n = 94) had at least one follow-up echocardiogram. There was spontaneous coronary artery fistula closure in 44% (n = 41), 8% (n = 8) decreased in size, and 48% (n = 45) were unchanged. No patient had enlargement of the coronary artery fistula over time. Additionally, tiny and small coronary artery fistulas showed no significant clinical changes in coronary artery dimensions, left ventricle dimensions and function over time. Seven patients required intervention; two patients underwent surgical ligation and five underwent catheter-based intervention. Most patients with coronary artery fistula in our cohort did not require intervention and over half either closed spontaneously or decreased in size with routine follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palmitic acid (PA), the major saturated fatty acid in the blood, often induces the initiation and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. DACH1 is an important regulator of kidney functions. Herein, we investigated the roles of DACH1 in PA-induced kidney injury. METHODS Clinical data from the NHANES database were subjected to analyse the association between serum PA (sPA), blood glucose and kidney function. Molecular docking of PA was performed with DACH1. Immunohistochemistry, cell viability, annexin V/7-AAD double staining, TUNEL assay, immunofluorescent staining, autophagic flux analysis, qRT-PCR and western blot were performed. RESULTS Clinical data confirmed that sPA was increased significantly in the pathoglycemia individuals compared with controls and correlated negatively with renal function. Our findings suggested that PA could dock with DACH1. DACH1 enhances cell viability by inhibiting apoptosis and attenuating autophagy blockage induced by PA. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that DACH1 ameliorated inflammation and fibrosis through TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB and TGF-β/Smad signalling pathway in PA-treated renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2). CONCLUSIONS This study proved that sPA presents a risk factor for kidney injuries and DACH1 might serve as a protective target against renal function deterioration in diabetic patients.

[PMID: 38360515 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2024.01.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the application of the T2-weighted (T2)-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign and machine learning-based multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics in predicting 1p/19q non-co-deletion of lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and forty-six patients, who had pathologically confirmed isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant LGGs were assigned randomly to the training cohort (n=102) and the testing cohort (n=44) at a ratio of 7:3. The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign and conventional MRI features were evaluated. Radiomics features extracted from T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), FLAIR, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and contrast-enhanced T1WI images (CE-T1WI). The models that displayed the best performance of each sequence were selected, and their predicted values as well as the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign data were collected to establish a final stacking model. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses and area under the curve (AUC) values were applied to evaluate and compare the performance of the models. RESULTS The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign was more common in the IDH mutant 1p/19q non-co-deleted group (p<0.05) and the area under the curve (AUC) value was 0.692 with sensitivity 0.397, specificity 0.987, and accuracy 0.712, respectively. The stacking model showed a favourable performance with an AUC of 0.925 and accuracy of 0.882 in the training cohort and an AUC of 0.886 and accuracy of 0.864 in the testing cohort. CONCLUSION The stacking model based on multiparametric MRI can serve as a supplementary tool for pathological diagnosis, offering valuable guidance for clinical practice.

Abstract
Hibernation is a widespread metabolic strategy among mammals for surviving periods of food scarcity. During hibernation, animals naturally alternate between metabolically depressed torpor bouts and energetically expensive arousals without ill effects. As a result, hibernators are promising models for investigating mechanisms that buffer against cellular stress, including telomere protection and restoration. In non-hibernators, telomeres, the protective structural ends of chromosomes, shorten with age and metabolic stress. In temperate hibernators, however, telomere shortening and elongation can occur in response to changing environmental conditions and associated metabolic state. We investigate telomere dynamics in a tropical hibernating primate, the fat-tailed dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus medius). In captivity, these lemurs can hibernate when maintained under cold temperatures (11-15 °C) with limited food provisioning. We study telomere dynamics in eight fat-tailed dwarf lemurs at the Duke Lemur Center, USA, from samples collected before, during, and after the hibernation season and assayed via qPCR. Contrary to our predictions, we found that telomeres were maintained or even lengthened during hibernation, but shortened immediately thereafter. During hibernation, telomere lengthening was negatively correlated with time in euthermia. Although preliminary in scope, our findings suggest that there may be a preemptive, compensatory mechanism to maintain telomere integrity in dwarf lemurs during hibernation. Nevertheless, telomere shortening immediately afterward may broadly result in similar outcomes across seasons. Future studies could profitably investigate the mechanisms that offset telomere shortening within and outside of the hibernation season and whether those mechanisms are modulated by energy surplus or crises.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether 'fast,' unilateral, brachial plexus, 3D magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) acquisitions with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) provide similar image quality to longer, 'standard' scans without DLR. MATERIALS AND METHODS An IRB-approved prospective cohort of 30 subjects (13F; mean age = 50.3 ± 17.8y) underwent clinical brachial plexus 3.0 T MRN with 3D oblique-coronal STIR-T2-weighted-FSE. 'Standard' and 'fast' scans (time reduction = 23-48%, mean = 33%) were reconstructed without and with DLR. Evaluation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and edge sharpness was performed for 4 image stacks: 'standard non-DLR,' 'standard DLR,' 'fast non-DLR,' and 'fast DLR.' Three raters qualitatively evaluated 'standard non-DLR' and 'fast DLR' for i) bulk motion (4-point scale), ii) nerve conspicuity of proximal and distal suprascapular and axillary nerves (5-point scale), and iii) nerve signal intensity, size, architecture, and presence of a mass (binary). ANOVA or Wilcoxon signed rank test compared differences. Gwet's agreement coefficient (AC2) assessed inter-rater agreement. RESULTS Quantitative SNR and edge sharpness were superior for DLR versus non-DLR (SNR by + 4.57 to + 6.56 [p < 0.001] for 'standard' and + 4.26 to + 4.37 [p < 0.001] for 'fast;' sharpness by + 0.23 to + 0.52/pixel for 'standard' [p < 0.018] and + 0.21 to + 0.25/pixel for 'fast' [p < 0.003]) and similar between 'standard non-DLR' and 'fast DLR' (SNR: p = 0.436-1, sharpness: p = 0.067-1). Qualitatively, 'standard non-DLR' and 'fast DLR' had similar motion artifact, as well as nerve conspicuity, signal intensity, size and morphology, with high inter-rater agreement (AC2: 'standard' = 0.70-0.98, 'fast DLR' = 0.69-0.97). CONCLUSION DLR applied to faster, 3D MRN acquisitions provides similar image quality to standard scans. A faster, DL-enabled protocol may replace currently optimized non-DL protocols.

New radiofrequency ablation procedure for selective reduction in complicated monochorionic twin or triplet pregnancy using multistep, incremental expansion technique. ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2024; 63:522-528. [PMID: 37767731 DOI: 10.1002/uog.27508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the preferred approach for selective reduction in complex monochorionic (MC) multiple pregnancies owing to the ease of operation and minimal invasiveness. To optimize the RFA technique and reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome resulting from the heat-sink effect of RFA therapy, we used an innovative RFA method, in which an electrode needle was expanded incrementally and stepwise. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety profile of this novel multistep incremental expansion RFA method for selective fetal reduction in MC twin and triplet pregnancies. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of all MC multiple pregnancies undergoing RFA between March 2016 and October 2022 at our center. The multistep RFA technique involved the use of an expandable needle, which was gradually expanded during the RFA procedure until cessation of umbilical cord blood flow was achieved. The needle used for the single-step RFA method was fully extended from the start of treatment. RESULTS In total, 132 MC multiple pregnancies underwent selective reduction using RFA, including 50 cases undergoing multistep RFA and 82 cases undergoing single-step RFA. The overall survival rates were not significantly different between the multistep and single-step RFA groups (81.1% vs 72.3%; P = 0.234). Similarly, the rates of preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes within 2 weeks after RFA, procedure-related complications, spontaneous preterm delivery and pathological findings on cranial ultrasound, as well as gestational age at delivery and birth weight, did not differ between the two groups. However, there was a trend towards a prolonged procedure-to-delivery interval following multistep RFA compared with single-step RFA (median, 109 vs 99 days; P = 0.377). Moreover, the fetal loss rate within 2 weeks after RFA in the multistep RFA group was significantly lower than that in the single-step RFA group (10.0% vs 24.4%; P = 0.041). The median ablation time was shorter (5.3 vs 7.8 min; P < 0.001) and the median ablation energy was lower (10.2 vs 18.0 kJ; P < 0.001) in multistep compared with single-step RFA. There were no significant differences in neonatal outcomes following multistep vs single-step RFA. CONCLUSIONS Overall survival rates were similar between the two RFA methods. However, the multistep RFA technique was associated with a lower risk of fetal loss within 2 weeks after RFA. The multistep RFA technique required significantly less ablation energy and a shorter ablation time compared with single-step RFA in selective fetal reduction of MC twin and triplet pregnancies. Additionally, there was a trend towards a prolonged procedure-to-delivery interval with the multistep RFA technique. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common type of healthcare-associated infection. We performed a literature review to demonstrate the incidence of SSIs in mainland China based on studies since 2010. We included 231 eligible studies with ≥30 postoperative patients, comprising 14 providing overall SSI data regardless of surgical sites and 217 reporting SSIs for a specific site. We found that the overall SSI incidence was 2.91% (median; interquartile range: 1.05%, 4.57%) or 3.18% (pooled; 95% confidence interval: 1.85%, 4.51%) and the SSI incidence varied remarkably according to the surgical site between the lowest (median, 1.00%; pooled, 1.69%) in thyroid surgeries and the highest (median, 14.89%; pooled, 12.54%) in colorectal procedures. We uncovered that Enterobacterales and staphylococci were the most common types of micro-organisms associated with SSIs after various abdominal surgeries and cardiac or neurological procedures, respectively. We identified two, nine, and five studies addressing the impact of SSIs on mortality, the length of stay (LOS) in hospital, and additional healthcare-related economic burden, respectively, all of which demonstrated increased mortality, prolonged LOS, and elevated medical costs associated with SSIs among affected patients. Our findings illustrate that SSIs remain a relatively common, serious threat to patient safety in China, requiring more action. To tackle SSIs, we propose to establish a nationwide network for SSI surveillance using unified criteria with the aid of informatic techniques and to tailor and implement countermeasures based on local data and observation. We highlight that the impact of SSIs in China warrants further study.

Abstract
AIMS SIRT1 deficiency has been associated with diabetes, and a variant of the SIRT1 gene has been found to be involved in human autoimmune diabetes; however, it is unclear whether this genetic variation exists in Han Chinese with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and whether it contributes to development of T1D. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association of the SIRT1 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs10997866 and rs3818292 in a Han Chinese population with T1D. METHODS This study recruited 2653 unrelated Han Chinese individuals, of whom 1289 had T1D and 1364 were healthy controls. Allelic and genotypic distributions of SIRT1 polymorphisms (rs10997866 and rs3818292) were determined by MassARRAY. Basic characteristics, genotype and allele frequencies of selected SNPs were compared between the T1D patients and healthy controls. Further genotype-phenotype association analysis of the SNPs was performed on the T1D patients divided into three groups according to genotype. Statistical analyses included the chi-square test, Mann‒Whitney U test, Kruskal‒Wallis H test and logistic regression. RESULTS The allelic (G vs. A) and genotypic (GA vs. AA) distributions of SIRT1 rs10997866 were significantly different in T1D patients and healthy controls (P = 0.039, P = 0.027), and rs10997866 was associated with T1D susceptibility under dominant, overdominant and additive models (P = 0.026, P = 0.030 and P = 0.027, respectively). Moreover, genotype-phenotype association analysis showed the GG genotype of rs10997866 and the GG genotype of rs3818292 to be associated with higher titers of IA-2A (P = 0.013 and P = 0.038, respectively). CONCLUSION SIRT1 rs10997866 is significantly associated with T1D susceptibility, with the minor allele G conferring a higher risk of T1D. Moreover, SIRT1 gene rs10997866 and rs3818292 correlate with the titer of IA-2A in Han Chinese individuals with T1D.

Abstract
Recurrent drought can induce stress memory in plants to induce tolerance to subsequent stress, such as high temperature or drought. Drought priming (DP) is an effective approach to improve tolerance to various stresses; however, the potential mechanism of DP-induced stress memory has not been fully resoved. We examined DP-regulated subsequent drought tolerance or thermotolerance associated with changes in physiological responses, GABA and NO metabolism, heat shock factor (HSF) and dehydrin (DHN) pathways in perennial creeping bentgrass. Plants can recover after two cycle of DP, and DP-treated plants had significantly higher tolerance to subsequent drought or heat stress, with higher leaf RWC, Chl content, photochemical efficiency, and cell membrane stability. DP significantly alleviated oxidative damage through enhancing total antioxidant capacity in response to subsequent drought or heat stress. Endogenous GABA was significantly increased by DP through activating glutamic acid decarboxylase activity and inhibiting GABA transaminase activity. DP also enhanced accumulation of NO, depending on NOS activity, under subsequent drought or heat stress. Transcript levels of multiple transcription factors, heat shock proteins, and DHNs in the HSF and DHN pathways were up-regulated by DP under drought or heat stress, but there were differences between DP-regulated heat tolerance and drought tolerance in these pathways. The findings indicate that under recurrent moderate drought, DP improves subsequent tolerance to drought or heat stress in relation to GABA-regulated pathways, providing new insight into understanding of the role of stress memory in plant adaptation to complex environmental stresses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in the treatment of patients undergoing acute progressive pontine infarction. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with acute progressive pontine infarction who were hospitalized in the Neurology Department from June 2021 to June 2023 were included in the study and randomly divided into two groups, namely the experimental group (tirofiban group) and the control group (LMWH group). All patients in both groups were required to receive conventional comprehensive treatment and dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin + clopidogrel at the beginning of admission. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and Barthel Index (BI) were used to evaluate the neurological deficits on the first day of admission, the next day with stroke progression, and at discharge after treatment with tirofiban and LMWH, respectively in the two groups. The modified Rankin Scale was employed to assess prognosis on the 90th day after treatment. Clinical adverse events were followed up for 90 days, comparing the clinical efficacy and safety of the two treatment methods. RESULTS There was no statistical significance in NIHSS score and Barthel Index between the tirofiban group and the LMWH group on the first day of admission and the next day with stroke progression (p > 0.05). After stroke progression, tirofiban and LMWH were separately used for treatment in the two groups. We found that the NIHSS score of the tirofiban group was lower than that of the LMWH group, and the Barthel Index score was higher than that of the LMWH group at discharge (p < 0.05). After three months of follow-up, the mRS score of the tirofiban group was dramatically higher than that of the LMWH group (p < 0.05). No significant harmful or adverse reactions, such as bleeding events, were found in the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Tirofiban may be more effective and safer than LMWH in controlling the progression of acute pontine infarction, but further and large-sample studies are still needed to confirm this finding.

Structural insights into peptidoglycan glycosidase EtgA binding to the inner rod protein EscI of the type III secretion system via a designed EscI-EtgA fusion protein. Protein Sci 2024; 33:e4930. [PMID: 38380768 PMCID: PMC10880428 DOI: 10.1002/pro.4930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Bacteria express lytic enzymes such as glycosidases, which have potentially self-destructive peptidoglycan (PG)-degrading activity and, therefore, require careful regulation in bacteria. The PG glycosidase EtgA is regulated by localization to the assembling type III secretion system (T3SS), generating a hole in the PG layer for the T3SS to reach the outer membrane. The EtgA localization was found to be mediated via EtgA interacting with the T3SS inner rod protein EscI. To gain structural insights into the EtgA recognition of EscI, we determined the 2.01 Å resolution structure of an EscI (51-87)-linker-EtgA fusion protein designed based on AlphaFold2 predictions. The structure revealed EscI residues 72-87 forming an α-helix interacting with the backside of EtgA, distant from the active site. EscI residues 56-71 also were found to interact with EtgA, with these residues stretching across the EtgA surface. The ability of the EscI to interact with EtgA was also probed using an EscI peptide. The EscI peptide comprising residues 66-87, slightly larger than the observed EscI α-helix, was shown to bind to EtgA using microscale thermophoresis and thermal shift differential scanning fluorimetry. The EscI peptide also had a two-fold activity-enhancing effect on EtgA, whereas the EscI-EtgA fusion protein enhanced activity over four-fold compared to EtgA. Our studies suggest that EtgA regulation by EscI could be trifold involving protein localization, protein activation, and protein stabilization components. Analysis of the sequence conservation of the EscI EtgA interface residues suggested a possible conservation of such regulation for related proteins from different bacteria.
