SLC22A17 as a Cell Death-Linked Regulator of Tight Junctions in Cerebral Ischemia

BACKGROUND

Beyond neuronal injury, cell death pathways may also contribute to vascular injury after stroke. We examined protein networks linked to major cell death pathways and identified SLC22A17 (solute carrier family 22 member 17) as a novel mediator that regulates endothelial tight junctions after ischemia and inflammatory stress.

METHODS

Protein-protein interactions and brain enrichment analyses were performed using STRING, Cytoscape, and a human tissue-specific expression RNA-seq database. In vivo experiments were performed using mouse models of transient focal cerebral ischemia. Human stroke brain tissues were used to detect SLC22A17 by immunostaining. In vitro experiments were performed using human brain endothelial cultures subjected to inflammatory stress. Immunostaining and Western blot were used to assess responses in SLC22A17 and endothelial tight junctional proteins. Water content, dextran permeability, and electrical resistance assays were used to assess edema and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. Gain and loss-of-function studies were performed using lentiviral overexpression of SLC22A17 or short interfering RNA against SLC22A17, respectively.

RESULTS

Protein-protein interaction analysis showed that core proteins from apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy cell death pathways were closely linked. Among the 20 proteins identified in the network, the iron-handling solute carrier SLC22A17 emerged as the mediator enriched in the brain. After cerebral ischemia in vivo, endothelial expression of SLC22A17 increases in both human and mouse brains along with BBB leakage. In human brain endothelial cultures, short interfering RNA against SLC22A17 prevents TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor alpha)-induced ferroptosis and downregulation in tight junction proteins and disruption in transcellular permeability. Notably, SLC22A17 could repress the transcription of tight junctional genes. Finally, short interfering RNA against SLC22A17 ameliorates BBB leakage in a mouse model of focal cerebral ischemia.

CONCLUSIONS

Using a combination of cell culture, human stroke samples, and mouse models, our data suggest that SLC22A17 may play a role in the control of BBB function after cerebral ischemia. These findings may offer a novel mechanism and target for ameliorating BBB injury and edema after stroke.

[Analysis of compliance with lung protective mechanical ventilation strategy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome]

Objective: To assess the compliance with a lung protective ventilation strategy and to evaluate the relationship with prognosis in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: In the prospective multicenter cohort study (CHARDS), patients with ARDS undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation were enrolled to collect essential information, mechanical ventilation data, and prognostic data. Compliance was operationally defined as tidal volume ≤7 ml/kg predicted body weight (PBW) or plateau pressure ≤30 cmH2O or driving pressure≤15 cmH2O. Tidal volume data collected 7 days prior to ventilation after ARDS diagnosis were categorized into four groups: standard group (Group A, 100% compliance), non-standard group (Group B, 50%-99% compliance, Group C,1%-49% compliance,and Group D,totally non-compliant). Plateau pressure and drive pressure measurements were recorded on the first day. Stepwise regression, specifically Logistics regression, was used to identify the factors influencing ICU survival. Results: A total of 449 ARDS patients with invasive mechanical ventilation were included; the proportion of mild, moderate, and severe patients was 71 (15.8%), 198 (44.1%) and 180 (40.1%), respectively. During the first 7 days, a total of 2880 tidal volume measurements were recorded with an average tidal volume of (6.89±1.93) ml/kg PBW. Of these measurements, 53.2% were found to be≤7 ml/kg PBW. The rates of compliance with lung protective mechanical ventilation were 29.8% (134/449), 24.5% (110/449), 23.6% (106/449), and 22% (99/449) in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. In the standard group, the tidal volume for mild ARDS patients was 18.3%(13/71), while it was 81.7%(58/71)in the non-standard group. Similarly, in patients with moderate ARDS, the tidal volume was 25.8% (51/198) in the standard group, while it was 74.2% (147/198) in the non-standard group. Finally, in patients with severe ARDS, the tidal volume was 38.9% (70/180) in the standard group, while it was 61.1% (110/180) in the non-standard group. Notably, the compliance rate was higher in patients with moderate and severe ARDS in group A compared to patients with mild and moderate ARDS (18.3% vs. 25.8% vs. 38.9%, χ2=13.124, P=0.001). Plateau pressure was recorded in 221 patients, 95.9% (212/221) patients with plateau pressure≤30 cmH2O, and driving pressure was recorded in 207 patients, 77.8% (161/207) patients with a driving pressure ≤15 cmH2O.During the first 7 days, the mortality rate in the intensive care unit (ICU) was lower in the tidal volume standard group compared to the non-standard group (34.6% vs. 51.3%, χ2=10.464, P=0.001). In addition, the in-hospital mortality rate was lower in the standard group compared to the non-standard group (39.8% vs. 57%, χ2=11.016, P=0.001).The results of the subgroup analysis showed that the mortality rates of moderate and severe ARDS patients in the standard group were significantly lower than those in the non-standard group, both in the ICU and in the hospital (all P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in mortality among mild ARDS patients (all P>0.05). Conclusions: There was high compliance with recommended lung protective mechanical ventilation strategies in ARDS patients, with slightly lower compliance in patients with mild ARDS, and high compliance rates for plateau and drive pressures. The tidal volume full compliance group had a lower mortality than the non-compliance group, and showed a similar trend in the moderate-to-severe ARDS subgroup, but there was no significant correlation between compliance and prognosis in patients with mild ARDS subgroup.

Understanding the Super-Theoretical Capacity Behavior of VO2 in Aqueous Zn Batteries

VO2 material, as a promising intercalation host, is widely investigated not only in aqueous lithium-ion batteries, but also in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) owing to its stable tunnel-like framework and multivalence of vanadium. Different from lithium-ion storage, VO2 can provide higher capacity when storing zinc ions, even exceeding its theoretical capacity (323 mAh g-1), but the specific reason for this unconventional performance in AZIBs is still unclear. The present study proposes a catalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) coupled with an interface oxidation mechanism of VO2 during the initial charging to a high voltage. This coupling induces a phase transformation of VO2 into a high oxidation state of V5O12∙6H2O, enabling a nearly two-electron reaction and providing additional zinc storage sites to achieve super-theoretical capacity. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that these vanadium oxide cathodes (V2O3, VO2, and V2O5) will all undergo phase change after the first charge or short cycle. Notably, water molecules participate in the final formation of layered vanadium-based hydrate, highlighting their crucial role as "pillars" for stabilizing the structure. This work significantly enhances the understanding of vanadium-based oxide cathodes.

First Measurement of the |t| Dependence of Incoherent J/ψ Photonuclear Production

The first measurement of the cross section for incoherent photonuclear production of J/ψ vector mesons as a function of the Mandelstam |t| variable is presented. The measurement was carried out with the ALICE detector at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, using ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV. This rapidity interval corresponds to a Bjorken-x range (0.3-1.4)×10^{-3}. Cross sections are given in five |t| intervals in the range 0.04<|t|<1  GeV^{2} and compared to the predictions by different models. Models that ignore quantum fluctuations of the gluon density in the colliding hadron predict a |t| dependence of the cross section much steeper than in data. The inclusion of such fluctuations in the same models provides a better description of the data.

[Capacity building in schistosomiasis control institutions in China: a cross-sectional study]

OBJECTIVE

To understand the current status of capacity building in schistosomiasis control institutes in schistosomiasis-endemic provinces (municipality, autonomous region) of China.

METHODS

The responsibilities and construction requirements of various schistosomiasis control institutions were surveyed by expert discussions, and field interviews and visits during the period between May and June, 2023, and the questionnaire for capacity maintenance and consolidation in schistosomiasis control institutions was designed. An online questionnaire survey was conducted in county-, municipal-, and provincial-level institutions that undertook schistosomiasis control and surveillance activities through the Wenjuanxing program. The distribution of schistosomiasis control institutions, the status of institutions, departments and staff undertaking schistosomiasis control activities and the translation of scientific researches on schistosomiasis control in China were analyzed. The laboratories accredited by China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) were considered to be capable for testing associated with schistosomiasis control, and the testing capability of schistosomiasis control institutions was analyzed.

RESULTS

A total of 486 valid questionnaires were recovered from 486 schistosomiasis control institutions in 12 endemic provinces (municipality, autonomous region) of China, including 12 provincial-level institutions (2.5%), 77 municipal-level institutions (15.8%) and 397 county-level institutions (81.7%). Of all schistosomiasis control institutions, 376 (77.4%) were centers for disease control and prevention or public health centers, 102 (21.0%) were institutions for schistosomiasis, endemic disease and parasitic disease control, and 8 (1.6%) were hospitals, healthcare centers or others. There were 37 713 active employees in the 486 schistosomiasis control institutions, including 5 675 employees related to schistosomiasis control, and the proportions of employees associated with schistosomiasis control among all active employees were 5.9% (231/3 897), 5.5% (566/10 134), and 20.6% (4 878/23 682) in provincial-, municipal-, and county-level institutions, respectively. There were 3 826 full-time employees working in schistosomiasis control activities, with 30.5% (1 166/3 826), 34.6% (1 324) and 34.9% (1 336/3 826) at ages of 40 years and below, 41 to 50 years and over 50 years, and there were 1 571 (41.0%) full-time schistosomiasis control employees with duration of schistosomiasis control activities for over 25 years, and 1 358 (35.5%) employees with junior professional titles and 1 290 with intermediate professional titles (35.5%), while 712 (18.6%) full-time employees working in schistosomiasis control activities had no professional titles. The three core schistosomiasis control activities included snail control (26.3%, 374/1 420), epidemics surveillance and management (25.4%, 361/1 420) and health education (18.8%, 267/1 420) in schistosomiasis control institutions. The Kato-Katz method, miracidium hatching test with nylon gauzes, and indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA) were the most commonly used techniques for detection of schistosomiasis, and there were less than 50% laboratories that had capabilities or experimental conditions for performing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dipstick dye immunoassay (DDIA), dot immunogold filtration assay (DIG-FA), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. During the period from 2018 to 2022, schistosomiasis control institutions had undertaken a total of 211 research projects for schistosomiasis control, with a total funding of 18.596 million RMB, published 619 articles, participated in formulation of 13 schistosomiasis control-related criteria, and applied for 113 schistosomiasis control-related patents, including 101 that were granted, and commercialized 4 scientific research outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

The proportion of independent specialized schistosomiasis control institutions is low in schistosomiasis control institutions in China, which suffers from problems of unsatisfactory laboratory testing capabilities, aging of staff and a high proportion of low-level professional titles. More investment into and intensified schistosomiasis control activities and improved capability building and talent cultivation in schistosomiasis control institutions are recommended to provide a powerful support for high-quality elimination of schistosomiasis in China.

Endogenous S100P-mediated autophagy regulates the chemosensitivity of leukemia cells through the p53/AMPK/mTOR pathway

Autophagy, a highly regulated lysosome-dependent catabolic pathway, has garnered increasing attention because of its role in leukemia resistance. Among the S100 family of small calcium-binding proteins, S100P is differentially expressed in various tumor cell lines, thereby influencing tumor occurrence, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. However, the relationship between S100P and autophagy in determining chemosensitivity in leukemia cells remains unexplored. Our investigation revealed a negative correlation between S100P expression and the clinical status in childhood leukemia, with its presence observed in HL-60 and Jurkat cell lines. Suppression of S100P expression resulted in increased cell proliferation and decreased chemosensitivity in leukemia cells, whereas enhancement of S100P expression inhibited cell proliferation and increased chemosensitivity. Additionally, S100P knockdown drastically promoted autophagy, which was subsequently suppressed by S100P upregulation. Moreover, the p53/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway was found to be functionally associated with S100P-mediated autophagy. Knockdown of S100P expression led to a decrease in p53 and p-mTOR levels and an increase in p-AMPK expression, ultimately promoting autophagy. This effect was reversed by administration of Tenovin-6 (a p53 activator) and Compound C (an AMPK inhibitor). The findings of our in vivo experiments provide additional evidence supporting the aforementioned data. Specifically, S100P inhibition significantly enhanced the growth of HL-60 tumor xenografts and increased the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 and p-AMPK in nude mice. Consequently, it can be concluded that S100P plays a regulatory role in the chemosensitivity of leukemia cells by modulating the p53/AMPK/mTOR pathway, which controls autophagy in leukemia cells.

[A real-world study on the features of postpartum hepatitis flares in pregnant women with chronic HBV infection]

Objective: To analyze the clinical features of postpartum hepatitis flares in pregnant women with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted. Patients who met the enrollment criteria were included. Liver function and HBV virology tests were collected from pregnant women with chronic HBV infection at delivery, 6, 24, 36, and 48 weeks after delivery through the hospital information and test system. Additionally, antiviral therapy types and drug withdrawal times were collected. Statistical analysis was performed on all the resulting data. Results: A total of 533 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were included, with all patients aged (29.5±3.7) years old. A total of 408 cases received antiviral drugs during pregnancy to interrupt mother-to-child transmission. There was no significant difference in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT, z = -1.981, P = 0.048), aspartate aminotransferase (AST, z = -3.956, P < 0.001), HBV load (z = -15.292, P < 0.001), and HBeAg (z = -4.77, P < 0.001) at delivery in patients who received medication and those who did not. All patients ALT, AST, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and albumin showed an upward trend within six weeks after delivery. A total of 231 cases developed hepatitis within 48 weeks after delivery. Among them, 173 cases first showed ALT abnormalities within six weeks postpartum. Conclusion: Hepatitis flare incidence peaked six weeks after delivery or six weeks after drug withdrawal in pregnant women with chronic HBV infection.

Engineering Interfacial Fast Ion Channels toward Highly Stable Zn Metal Batteries

The development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is hindered by dendrites and side reactions, such as interfacial byproducts, corrosion, and hydrogen evolution. The construction of an artificial interface protective layer on the surface of the zinc anode has been extensively researched due to its strong operability and potential for large-scale application. In this study, we have designed an organic hydrophobic hybrid inorganic intercalation composite coating to achieve stable Zn2+ plating/stripping. The hydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) effectively prevents direct contact between free water and the zinc anode, thereby mitigating the risk of dendrite formation. Simultaneously, the inorganic layer of vanadium phosphate (VOPO4·2H2O) after the insertion of polyaniline (PA) establishes a robust ion channel for facilitating rapid transport of Zn2+, thus promoting uniform electric field distribution and reducing concentration polarization. As a result, the performance of the modified composite PVDF/PA-VOP@Zn anode exhibited significant enhancement compared with that of the bare zinc anode. The assembled symmetric cell exhibits an exceptionally prolonged lifespan of 3070 h at a current density of 1 mA cm-2, while the full battery employing KVO as the cathode demonstrates a remarkable capability to undergo 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1 with a capacity retention rate of 78.2%. This study offers valuable insights into the anodic modification strategy for AZIBs.

Regulating Interlayer-Spacing of Vanadium Phosphates for High-Capacity and Long-Life Aqueous Iron-Ion Batteries

Although the research on aqueous batteries employing metal as the anode is still mainly focused on the aqueous zinc-ion battery, aqueous iron-ion batteries are considered as promising aqueous batteries owing to the lower cost, higher specific capacity, and better stability. However, the sluggish Fe2+ (de)intercalation leads to unsatisfactory specific capacity and poor electrochemical stability, which makes it difficult to find cathode materials with excellent electrochemical properties. Herein, phenylamine (PA)-intercalated VOPO4 materials with expanded interlayer spacing are synthesized and applied successfully in aqueous iron-ion batteries. Owing to enough diffusion space from the expanded interlayer, which can boost fast Fe2+ diffusion, the aqueous iron-ion battery shows a high specific capacity of 170 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 , excellent rate performance, and cycle stability (96.2% capacity retention after 2200 cycles). This work provides a new direction for cathode material design in the development of aqueous iron-ion batteries.

Changes in brain susceptibility in Wilson's disease patients: a quantitative susceptibility mapping study

AIM

To assess changes in the susceptibility of the caudate nucleus (CN), putamen, and globus pallidus (GP) in patients with neurological and hepatic Wilson's disease (WD) by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM).

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The brain MRI images of 33 patients diagnosed with WD and 20 age-matched controls were analysed retrospectively. All participants underwent brain T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and QSM imaging using a 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. QSM maps were evaluated with the STISuite toolbox. The quantitative susceptibility levels of the CN, putamen, and GP were analysed using region of interest analysis on QSM maps. Differences among neurological WD patients, hepatic patients, and controls were determined.

RESULTS

Susceptibility levels were significantly higher for all examined structures (CN, putamen and GP) in patients with neurological WD compared with controls (all p<0.05) and hepatic WD patients (all p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in susceptibility levels between patients with hepatic WD and controls (all p>0.05).

CONCLUSION

The QSM technique is a valuable tool for detecting changes in brain susceptibility in WD patients, indicating abnormal metal deposition. Notably, the current findings suggest that neurological WD patients exhibit more severe susceptibility changes compared with hepatic WD patients. Therefore, QSM can be utilised as a complementary method to detect brain injury in WD patients.

Machine Learning-Based Integrated Analysis of PANoptosis Patterns in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Reveals a Signature Predicting Survival and Immunotherapy

Objective

We conducted a meticulous bioinformatics analysis leveraging expression data of 226 PANRGs obtained from previous studies, as well as clinical data from AML patients derived from the HOVON database.

Methods

Through meticulous data analysis and manipulation, we were able to categorize AML cases into two distinct PANRG clusters and subsequently identify differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs) with prognostic significance. Furthermore, we organized the patient data into two corresponding gene clusters, allowing us to investigate the intricate relationship between the risk score, patient prognosis, and the immune landscape.

Results

Our findings disclosed significant associations between the identified PANRGs, gene clusters, patient survival, immune system, and cancer-related biological processes and pathways. Importantly, we successfully constructed a prognostic signature comprising nineteen genes, enabling the stratification of patients into high-risk and low-risk groups based on individually calculated risk scores. Furthermore, we developed a robust and practical nomogram model, integrating the risk score and other pertinent clinical features, to facilitate accurate patient survival prediction. Our comprehensive analysis demonstrated that the high-risk group exhibited notably worse prognosis, with the risk score proving to be significantly correlated with infiltration of most immune cells. The qRT-PCR results revealed significant differential expression patterns of LGR5 and VSIG4 in normal and human leukemia cell lines (HL-60 and MV-4-11).

Conclusions

Our findings underscore the potential utility of PANoptosis-based molecular clustering and prognostic signatures as predictive tools for assessing patient survival in AML.

Irisin inhibits CCK-8-induced TNF-α production via integrin αVβ5-NF-κB signaling pathways in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Irisin, a secreted myokine generated by fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5, has recently shown the potential to alleviate inflammation. Cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) is closely associated with the inflammatory factor TNF-α, a central cytokine in inflammatory reactions. However, the interactions between irisin and CCK-8 in regulating TNF-α production and the underlying mechanism have not yet been elucidated. In the present study, irisin treatment inhibited the basal and the CCK-8-induced TNF-α production in vivo. Additionally, neutralizing circulating irisin using an irisin antiserum significantly augmented the CCK-8-induced stimulation of TNF-α levels. Moreover, the incubation of head kidney cells with irisin or CCK-8 has opposite effects on TNF-α secretion. Notably, irisin treatment inhibited basal and CCK-8-stimulated TNF-α release and gene transcription in head kidney cells. Mechanistically, the inhibitory actions of irisin on basal and CCK-8-induced TNF-α production could be negated by co-administered with the selective integrin αVβ5 inhibitor cilengitide. In addition, the inhibitory effect of irisin on basal and CCK-8-triggered TNF-α production could be abolished by the inhibition of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Furthermore, irisin impeded CCK-8-induced phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα, simultaneously inhibiting NF-κB phosphorylation, preventing its translocation into the nucleus, and suppressing its DNA-binding activity induced by CCK-8. Collectively, these results suggest that the inhibitory effect of irisin on TNF-α production caused by CCK-8 is mediated via the integrin αVβ5-NF-κB signaling pathways in tilapia.

Viral oncogenes, viruses, and cancer: a third-generation sequencing perspective on viral integration into the human genome

The link between viruses and cancer has intrigued scientists for decades. Certain viruses have been shown to be vital in the development of various cancers by integrating viral DNA into the host genome and activating viral oncogenes. These viruses include the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B and C Viruses (HBV and HCV), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus (HTLV-1), which are all linked to the development of a myriad of human cancers. Third-generation sequencing technologies have revolutionized our ability to study viral integration events at unprecedented resolution in recent years. They offer long sequencing capabilities along with the ability to map viral integration sites, assess host gene expression, and track clonal evolution in cancer cells. Recently, researchers have been exploring the application of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) nanopore sequencing and Pacific BioSciences (PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing in cancer research. As viral integration is crucial to the development of cancer via viruses, third-generation sequencing would provide a novel approach to studying the relationship interlinking viral oncogenes, viruses, and cancer. This review article explores the molecular mechanisms underlying viral oncogenesis, the role of viruses in cancer development, and the impact of third-generation sequencing on our understanding of viral integration into the human genome.

TXNDC12 inhibits lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis

Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation and subsequent damage to the plasma membrane. Here, we report a ferroptosis resistance mechanism involving the upregulation of TXNDC12, a thioredoxin domain-containing protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum. The inducible expression of TXNDC12 during ferroptosis in leukemia cells is inhibited by the knockdown of the transcription factor ATF4, rather than NFE2L2. Mechanistically, TXNDC12 acts to inhibit lipid peroxidation without affecting iron accumulation during ferroptosis. When TXNDC12 is overexpressed, it restores the sensitivity of ATF4-knockdown cells to ferroptosis. Moreover, TXNDC12 plays a GPX4-independent role in inhibiting lipid peroxidation. The absence of TXNDC12 enhances the tumor-suppressive effects of ferroptosis induction in both cell culture and animal models. Collectively, these findings demonstrate an endoplasmic reticulum-based anti-ferroptosis pathway in cancer cells with potential translational applications.

Measurements of Groomed-Jet Substructure of Charm Jets Tagged by D^{0} Mesons in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

Understanding the role of parton mass and Casimir color factors in the quantum chromodynamics parton shower represents an important step in characterizing the emission properties of heavy quarks. Recent experimental advances in jet substructure techniques have provided the opportunity to isolate and characterize gluon emissions from heavy quarks. In this Letter, the first direct experimental constraint on the charm-quark splitting function is presented, obtained via the measurement of the groomed shared momentum fraction of the first splitting in charm jets, tagged by a reconstructed D^{0} meson. The measurement is made in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, in the low jet transverse-momentum interval of 15≤p_{T}^{jet ch}<30  GeV/c where the emission properties are sensitive to parton mass effects. In addition, the opening angle of the first perturbative emission of the charm quark, as well as the number of perturbative emissions it undergoes, is reported. Comparisons to measurements of an inclusive-jet sample show a steeper splitting function for charm quarks compared with gluons and light quarks. Charm quarks also undergo fewer perturbative emissions in the parton shower, with a reduced probability of large-angle emissions.

Cross-species comparison illuminates the importance of iron homeostasis for splenic anti-immunosenescence

Although immunosenescence may result in increased morbidity and mortality, many mammals have evolved effective immune coping strategies to extend their lifespans. Thus, the immune systems of long-lived mammals present unique models to study healthy longevity. To identify the molecular clues of anti-immunosenescence, we first built high-quality reference genome for a long-lived myotis bat, and then compared three long-lived mammals (i.e., bat, naked mole rat, and human) versus the short-lived mammal, mouse, in splenic immune cells at single-cell resolution. A close relationship between B:T cell ratio and immunosenescence was detected, as B:T cell ratio was much higher in mouse than long-lived mammals and significantly increased during aging. Importantly, we identified several iron-related genes that could resist immunosenescence changes, especially the iron chaperon, PCBP1, which was upregulated in long-lived mammals but dramatically downregulated during aging in all splenic immune cell types. Supportively, immune cells of mouse spleens contained more free iron than those of bat spleens, suggesting higher level of ROS-induced damage in mouse. PCBP1 downregulation during aging was also detected in hepatic but not pulmonary immune cells, which is consistent with the crucial roles of spleen and liver in organismal iron recycling. Furthermore, PCBP1 perturbation in immune cell lines would result in cellular iron dyshomeostasis and senescence. Finally, we identified two transcription factors that could regulate PCBP1 during aging. Together, our findings highlight the importance of iron homeostasis in splenic anti-immunosenescence, and provide unique insight for improving human healthspan.

Prediction Analysis of Dose Verification Based on Plan Complexity Metrics during Radiotherapy

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S)

Plan validation in radiotherapy includes pre-treatment and in-treatment validation. It is feasible to leverage plan complexity to optimize validation processes, because some research reports that the consistency between planning and measurement or execution decreases as plan complexity increases. Therefore, starting from the plan complexity, this study comprehensively and systematically explores these factors affecting whether the plan verification is passed or not and the strength of their correlations, so as to establish a regression model and optimize the verification process.

MATERIALS/METHODS

The IMRT and model-based validation information were retrospectively collected for patients who received tumor radiotherapy at our institution from January 2020 to May 2022. The seventy-eight metrics characterizing the plan complexity were calculated and checked for each plan by an in-house developed computing platform. The comparisons of plan verification results under different tumor species and different verification methods were carried out, and the plan complexity metrics was also compared. Subsequently, Spearman correlation analysis between plan complexity and plan validation under different tumor species, different verification methods and different evaluation indexes was analyzed to provide the basis for regression analysis.

RESULTS

One thousand two hundred twenty-six patients were enrolled in the study. The plans in Eclipse TPS were performed by Varian Edge and iX linear accelerators and their verification were executed by EPID, Delat4, and ArcCheck. The gamma index under evaluation index of 3%/3mm, 3%/2mm, 2%/2mm, 1%/1mm were respectively 97.4% (7.1%), 94.8% (10.9%), 86.1% (20.1%), 50.7% (22.6%). The γ and DD of EPID and Detla4 decreased with the increase of TH, and the change of DD was the most significant, while the DTA of Detla4 did not change significantly with TH, and the passing rate of DTA and γ in thoracic and abdominal was the highest in ArcCheck group. Contrast and Variance were the most different between tumor types. The pelvic MIs and MIa were larger than those planned for the other three sites. Except for head and neck CLS and MD, other metrics did not vary significantly among tumor species. The correlation between the metrics characterizing the static characteristics of leaves was more significant for head and neck tumors; the correlation between metrics characterizing the flux complexity were significantly different in pelvic. There was a correlation between plan complexity and γ indicators, and the overall strength was ArcCheck > EPID > Delta4 for head and neck, Delta4 > EPID and ArcCheck for thorax-abdomen, Delta4 and EPID > ArcCheck for pelvic, Delta4 > ArcCheck > EPID for arms and legs.

CONCLUSION

There was a correlation between different plan complexity metrics. Based on this study, it is feasible to predict the verification results based on these complexity metrics, but the regression models were respectively established according to tumor types and validation methods.

Measurement of the Lifetime and Λ Separation Energy of _{Λ}^{3}H

The most precise measurements to date of the _{Λ}^{3}H lifetime τ and Λ separation energy B_{Λ} are obtained using the data sample of Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV collected by ALICE at the LHC. The _{Λ}^{3}H is reconstructed via its charged two-body mesonic decay channel (_{Λ}^{3}H→^{3}He+π^{-} and the charge-conjugate process). The measured values τ=[253±11(stat)±6(syst)]  ps and B_{Λ}=[102±63(stat)±67(syst)]  keV are compatible with predictions from effective field theories and confirm that the _{Λ}^{3}H structure is consistent with a weakly bound system.

Antileukemic effect of venetoclax and hypomethylating agents via caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis

BACKGROUND

The identifying of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) as a therapeutic target has led to a paradigm shift in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment. Pyroptosis is a novel antitumor therapeutic mechanism due to its cytotoxic and immunogenic effects. The combination of venetoclax and hypomethylating agents (HMAs) has been shown to lead to durable responses and significantly improve prognosis in patients with AML. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying this combinatorial activity is evolving.

METHODS

We investigated whether the Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax induces AML cell pyroptosis and identified pyroptosis effector proteins. Via using western blotting, immunoprecipitation, RNA interference, CCK8 assays, and LDH assays, we explored the mechanism underlying the pyroptotic effect. The relationship between the expression of the pyroptosis effector protein GSDME and AML prognosis was investigated. The effect of GSDME demethylation combined with venetoclax treatment on pyroptosis was investigated and confirmed in mouse models and clinical samples.

RESULTS

Venetoclax induces pyroptosis that is mediated by caspase-3-dependent GSDME cleavage. Mechanistically, venetoclax upregulates caspase-3 and GSDME cleavage by activating the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. GSDME is downregulated in AML by promoter methylation, and low GSDME expression is significantly associated with poor prognosis, based on public databases and patient sample analysis. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that GSDME overexpression or HMAs-mediated restoration of GSDME expression significantly increased venetoclax-induced pyroptosis in AML.

CONCLUSION

GSDME-mediated pyroptosis may be a novel aspect of the antileukemic effect of Bcl-2 inhibitors. This finding offers new insights into potential biomarkers and therapeutic strategies, identifying an important mechanism explaining the clinical activity of venetoclax and HMAs in AML.

First Measurement of Antideuteron Number Fluctuations at Energies Available at the Large Hadron Collider

The first measurement of event-by-event antideuteron number fluctuations in high energy heavy-ion collisions is presented. The measurements are carried out at midrapidity (|η|<0.8) as a function of collision centrality in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV using the ALICE detector. A significant negative correlation between the produced antiprotons and antideuterons is observed in all collision centralities. The results are compared with a state-of-the-art coalescence calculation. While it describes the ratio of higher order cumulants of the antideuteron multiplicity distribution, it fails to describe quantitatively the magnitude of the correlation between antiproton and antideuteron production. On the other hand, thermal-statistical model calculations describe all the measured observables within uncertainties only for correlation volumes that are different with respect to those describing proton yields and a similar measurement of net-proton number fluctuations.

Enhanced Deuteron Coalescence Probability in Jets

The transverse-momentum (p_{T}) spectra and coalescence parameters B_{2} of (anti)deuterons are measured in p-p collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV for the first time in and out of jets. In this measurement, the direction of the leading particle with the highest p_{T} in the event (p_{T}^{lead}>5  GeV/c) is used as an approximation for the jet axis. The event is consequently divided into three azimuthal regions, and the jet signal is obtained as the difference between the toward region, that contains jet fragmentation products in addition to the underlying event (UE), and the transverse region, which is dominated by the UE. The coalescence parameter in the jet is found to be approximately a factor of 10 larger than that in the underlying event. This experimental observation is consistent with the coalescence picture and can be attributed to the smaller average phase-space distance between nucleons in the jet cone as compared with the underlying event. The results presented in this Letter are compared to predictions from a simple nucleon coalescence model, where the phase-space distributions of nucleons are generated using pythia8 with the Monash 2013 tuning, and to predictions from a deuteron production model based on ordinary nuclear reactions with parametrized energy-dependent cross sections tuned on data. The latter model is implemented in pythia8.3. Both models reproduce the observed large difference between in-jet and out-of-jet coalescence parameters, although the almost flat trend of the B_{2}^{Jet} is not reproduced by the models, which instead give a decreasing trend.

[Analysis of therapeutic mechanism of Liushen Wan against colitis-associated colorectal cancer based on network pharmacology and validation in mice]

OBJECTIVE

To explore the therapeutic mechanism of Liushen Wan (LSW) against colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) by network pharmacology.

METHODS

TCMSP, BATMAN-TCM, CNKI, PubMed, Genecards, OMIM, and TTD databases were used to obtain the related targets of LSW and CAC. The common targets of LSW and CAC were obtained using Venny online website. The PPI network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.8.2 to screen the core targets of LSW in the treatment of CAC. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted using DAVID database. The therapeutic effect of LSW on CAC was evaluated in a C57BL/6J mouse model of AOM/DSS-induced CAC by observing the changes in body weight, disease activity index, colon length, and size and number of the tumor. HE staining and RT-qPCR were used to analyze the effect of LSW on inflammatory mediators. Immunohistochemistry and TUNEL staining were used to evaluate the effect of LSW on the proliferation and apoptosis of AOM/DSS-treated colon tumor cells. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to detect the effects of LSW on the expression of TLR4 proteins in CAC mice.

RESULTS

Network pharmacology analysis identified 69 common targets of LSW and CAC, and 33 hub targets were screened in the PPI network. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that the effect of LSW on CAC was mediated by the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In the mouse model of AOM/DSS-induced CAC, LSW significantly inhibited colitis-associated tumorigenesis, reduced tumor number and tumor load (P < 0.05), obviously improved histopathological changes in the colon, downregulated the mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines, and inhibited the proliferation (P < 0.01) and promoted apoptosis of colon tumor cells (P < 0.001). LSW also significantly decreased TLR4 protein expression in the colon tissue (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

LSW can inhibit CAC in mice possibly by regulating the expression of TLR4 to reduce intestinal inflammation, inhibit colon tumor cell proliferation and promote their apoptosis.

Aerosol generation with the use of positive pressure ventilation via supraglottic airway devices: an observational study

The amount of aerosol generation associated with the use of positive pressure ventilation via a supraglottic airway device has not been quantified. We conducted a two-group, two-centre, prospective cohort study in which we recruited 21 low-risk adult patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia with second-generation supraglottic airway devices. An optical particle sizer and an isokinetic sampling probe were used to record particle concentrations per second at different size distributions (0.3-10 μm) during use as well as baseline levels during two common activities (conversation and coughing). There was a median (IQR [range]) peak increase of 2.8 (1.5-4.5 [1-28.1]) and 4.1 (2.0-7.1 [1-18.2]) times background concentrations during SAD insertion and removal. Most of the particles generated during supraglottic airway insertion (85.0%) and removal (85.3%) were < 3 μm diameter. Median (IQR [range]) aerosol concentration generated by insertion (1.1 (0.6-5.1 [0.2-22.3]) particles.cm^-3 ) and removal (2.1 (0.5-3.0 [0.1-18.9]) particles.cm^-3 ) of SADs were significantly lower than those produced during continuous talking (44.5 (28.3-70.5 [2.0-134.5]) particles.cm^-3 ) and coughing (141.0 (98.3-202.8 [4.0-296.5]) particles.cm^-3 ) (p < 0.001). The aerosol levels produced were similar with the two devices. The proportion of easily inhaled and small particles (<1 μm) produced during insertion (57.5%) and removal (57.5%) was much lower than during talking (99.1%) and coughing (99.6%). These results suggest that the use of supraglottic airway devices in low-risk patients, even with positive pressure ventilation, generates fewer aerosols than speaking and coughing in awake patients.

Spatially resolved expression landscape and gene-regulatory network of human gastric corpus epithelium

Molecular knowledge of human gastric corpus epithelium remains incomplete. Here, by integrated analyses using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) techniques, we uncovered the spatially resolved expression landscape and gene-regulatory network of human gastric corpus epithelium. Specifically, we identified a stem/progenitor cell population in the isthmus of human gastric corpus, where EGF and WNT signaling pathways were activated. Meanwhile, LGR4, but not LGR5, was responsible for the activation of WNT signaling pathway. Importantly, FABP5 and NME1 were identified and validated as crucial for both normal gastric stem/progenitor cells and gastric cancer cells. Finally, we explored the epigenetic regulation of critical genes for gastric corpus epithelium at chromatin state level, and identified several important cell-type-specific transcription factors. In summary, our work provides novel insights to systematically understand the cellular diversity and homeostasis of human gastric corpus epithelium in vivo.

[Clinical effects of free anterolateral thigh perforator flap pedicled with descending genicular artery in repairing wounds after lower leg limb-sparing surgery]

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of free anterolateral thigh perforator flap pedicled with descending genicular artery in repairing wounds after lower leg limb-sparing surgery. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2019 to June 2021, 12 patients with wounds after lower leg limb-sparing surgery who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Suzhou Ruihua Orthopedic Hospital, including 6 males and 6 females, aged 17 to 74 years, with original wound area ranging from 17 cm×9 cm to 40 cm×15 cm. Five patients had infection in wounds. The wounds were all repaired by free anterolateral thigh perforator flap from contralateral thigh, with area of 18 cm×10 cm to 37 cm×9 cm. The artery of flap was anastomosed with the descending genicular artery, and the wounds in donor areas were sutured directly. Seven patients were transplanted with split-thickness skin grafts from the contralateral thigh to cover the remaining wounds that can not be covered by flap and the wounds in donor areas were covered with gauze. During the operation, the types of perforating branch carried by flap and the types of arteries and veins in recipient areas were recorded. The survival and occurrence of vascular crisis of flap, the survival of skin graft, the wound healing in donor and recipient areas, and the length of hospital stay after flap transplant surgery were recorded. During follow-up, the color and texture of flap, reinfection in lower leg, and fracture healing were recorded. At the last follow-up, the limb salvage function of patients was evaluated according to the functional evaluation criteria of Chen Zhongwei's amputated limb replantation. Results: The types of perforating branches carried by flaps were as follows: 6 cases of only carrying the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, 3 cases of only carrying the oblique branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, and 3 cases of carrying the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and oblique branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery after internal pressurization anastomosis. The types of arteries in the recipient area of flap were as follows: one case of main trunk of the descending genicular artery, 8 cases of the saphenous branch of the descending genicular artery, and 3 cases of the articular branch of the descending genicular artery. The types of veins in the recipient area of flap were as follows: 8 cases of one accompanying vein of the descending genicular artery and one branch of the great saphenous vein, and 4 cases of two branches of the great saphenous vein. All the flaps survived without vascular crisis, and all the skin grafts also survived. The wounds in the donor and recipient areas were all healed. The length of hospital stay of patient after flap transplant surgery ranged from 13 to 79 days. During the follow-up of 6 to 23 months, the color and texture of flap were both good, with no infection in lower leg wound. Internal or external fixation were removed after fracture healing in 5 patients, and bone graft internal fixation was performed in 7 patients whose fractures were not healed after surgery and all the incisions healed without infection. At the last follow-up, the limb salvage effect of patients was evaluated as followings: excellent in 7 patients, good in 4 patients, and fair in one patient. Conclusions: Free anterolateral thigh flap pedicled with descending genicular artery can effectively repair the wounds after lower leg limb-sparing surgery and control infection with short length of hospital stay, while not increasing the risk of secondary injury of distal limb vessels. Thus, it can obtain satisfactory limb salvage effect which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Microgreen Variety Impacts Leaf Surface Persistence of a Human Norovirus Surrogate

Human norovirus (HuNoV) is a pathogenic agent that is frequently associated with foodborne disease outbreaks linked to fresh produce. Within microgreen production systems, understanding of virus transmission routes and persistence is limited. To investigate virus persistence on microgreen leaf surfaces, this study mimicked virus contaminations caused during microgreen handling by farm workers or during overhead irrigation with contaminated water. Specifically, approximately 5 log PFU of Tulane virus (TV)-a HuNoV surrogate-was inoculated on sunflower (SF) and pea shoot (PS) microgreen leaves at 7-day age. The virus reduction on SF was significantly higher than PS (p < 0.05). On day 10, total TV reduction for SF and PS were 3.70 ± 0.10 and 2.52 ± 0.30 log PFU/plant, respectively. Under the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) observation, the leaf surfaces of SF were visually smoother than PS, while their specific effect on virus persistence were not further characterized. Overall, this study revealed that TV persistence on microgreen leaves was plant variety dependent. In addition, this study provided a preliminary estimation on the risk of HuNoV contamination in a microgreen production system which will aim the future development of prevention and control measures.

Surgical treatment of tethered cord syndrome showed promising outcome in young children with short duration

OBJECTIVE

Aside from the severity, surgical interventions for the treatment of neurological dysfunctions remain controversial. This study aimed to find factors predicting the benefits of tethered cord syndrome (TCS) surgery.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

80 children with TCS were included and followed up for pre- and post-operative factors along with neurophysiological analysis. Outcomes were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis.

RESULTS

Surgical treatment not only improved preoperative signs and symptoms in 79% of TCS patients but it showed to be an efficient procedure for the occurrence of future neurological defects. Univariate analysis also revealed that surgical intervention in TCS children (age <1 year) can modulate filar lipoma location and cutaneous abnormalities three months after surgery. Neurophysiological assessment revealed only 5.0% of surgical complications in TCS patients. Two patients had cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and two cases of CNS infection were detected.

CONCLUSIONS

Surgical intervention is highly recommended for the prevention of neurological deficits in children with TCS. Electrophysiological monitoring revealed rare complications following the surgery.

Persistence and transfer of Tulane virus in a microgreen cultivation system

Microgreens are niche salad greens which have increased in popularity among consumers in recent years. Due to similarities with sprouts and leafy greens-both attributed to numerous foodborne disease outbreaks-characterization of the food safety risks associated with microgreen production is warranted. The present study aimed to determine the fate and persistence of a human norovirus (HuNoV) surrogate, Tulane virus (TV), within a microgreen production system. Initially, the persistence of TV in two types of microgreen soil-free cultivation matrix (SFCM)-BioStrate® (biostrate) and peat-was determined. On day 0, water containing 7.6 log PFU of TV was applied to SFCM in growing trays, and the trays were maintained under microgreen growth conditions. TV persisted throughout the 10-day observation in biostrate and peat with overall reductions of 3.04 and 1.76 log plaque forming units (PFU) per tray, respectively. Subsequently, the transfer of TV to microgreen edible tissue was determined when planted on contaminated SFCM. Trays containing each type of SFCM were pre-inoculated with 7.6 log PFU of TV and equally divided into two areas. On day 0, sunflower (SF) or pea shoot (PS) seeds were planted on one-half of each tray, while the other half was left unplanted to serve as a control. The microgreens were harvested on day 10, and SFCM samples were collected from planted and unplanted areas of each tray. No TV were detected from the edible portion of either type of microgreen, yet TV were still present in the SFCM. TV concentrations were significantly lower in the root-containing planted area compared with the unplanted area for both biostrate (P = 0.0282) and peat (P = 0.0054). The mean differences of TV concentrations between unplanted and planted areas were 1.22 and 0.51 log PFU/g for biostrate and peat, respectively. In a subsequent investigation, TV transfer from day 7 inoculated SFCM to microgreens edible portion was not detected either. Overall, this study characterized the viral risk in a microgreen production system, which will help to understand the potential food safety risk related to HuNoV and to develop preventive measures.

Abstract WMP113: Red Blood Cells From Stroke Patients With Admission Hyperglycemia Induces Brain Endothelial Dysfunction

Background: Beyond its traditional role as oxygen carriers, red blood cells (RBCs) are increasingly recognized to participate in regulating vascular function. Many RBC disorders, such as sickle cell disease, are associated with vascular complications resulting in stroke. Our recent study revealed that admission hyperglycemia in stroke patients intensifies oxidative stress in RBCs. We hypothesize that RBCs that are altered by hyperglycemia may perturb endothelial function.

Method: Brain endothelial cells were incubated with RBCs isolated from stroke patients with admission hyperglycemia (hyper-RBC) and normoglycemia (normo-RBC) (n=3/group). Mass spectrometry was used to profile the changes in endothelial cells. Functional alterations were assessed by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Significant changes were verified using qPCR and western blot.

Result: Compared to normo-RBC, hyper-RBC activates cell adhesion process and toll like receptor signaling in brain endothelial cells (Fig A, B). Cell adhesion molecules (ICAM1, VCAM1) and toll like receptor TLR4 were upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels (Fig C, D), which may promote vaso-occlusion and inflammation. In contrast, vasoregulation was deactivated by hyper-RBC (Fig A, B). The expression of eNOS was downregulated and the bioavailability of vasodilator NO was decreased, consistent with impaired vasodilation (Fig C, D). Notably, the changes induced by hyper-RBC could be reversed by pretreating hyper-RBC with ROS scavenger TEMPOL. The upregulation of ICAM1, VCAM1 and TLR4 in hyper-RBC-treated cells was attenuated by TEMPOL pretreatment, and eNOS expression and NO bioavailability were also restored by TEMPOL (Fig C, D).

Conclusion: Intensified oxidative stress in RBCs induced by admission hyperglycemia in stroke patients can cause endothelial dysfunction. Further studies are underway to validate these targets, and ask whether these mechanisms may exacerbate brain injury in stroke patients.

Abstract 38: Admission Hyperglycemia In Stroke Patients Increases Oxidative Stress In Red Blood Cells

Background: Our recent study has shown that admission hyperglycemia in stroke patients is associated with red blood cell (RBC) dysregulation, however, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. In addition to transporting oxygen via hemoglobin, RBCs also carry a robust antioxidant system to remove the reactive oxygen species (ROS) continuously produced from hemoglobin autoxidation (Fig A). It has been reported that in vitro hyperglycemia can increase oxidative stress in RBCs. We thus hypothesize that acute hyperglycemia in stroke patients may also affect the antioxidant system in RBCs.

Method: Stroke patients with hyperglycemia and normoglycemia (n=12/group) were prospectively recruited in accordance with IRB protocol. Blood was collected at 2 hr, 24 hr, 72 hr and 3 mon post stroke. RBCs were precipitated from whole blood, and leucocytes were removed with depletion filter. The expression and glycosylation of RBC antioxidants, such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase type 1 (SOD1), glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) and peroxiredoxin 2 (PRX2), were quantified using mass spectrometry-based selected reaction monitoring (SRM) method.

Result: CAT, SOD1 and GPX1 showed gradually decreased expression in hyperglycemic stroke patients, which may impair the antioxidant capacity of RBCs (Fig B). The glycosylation level of PRX2 was increased in stroke-related hyperglycemia (Fig C), and increased glycosylation was associated with decreased PRX2 activity (Fig D). Consistent with the expression and glycosylation changes in antioxidants, total RBC antioxidant capacity was reduced in hyperglycemic patients, and ROS was significantly accumulated in RBCs (Fig E).

Conclusion: Acute hyperglycemia in stroke patients intensifies RBC oxidative stress by affecting the expression and post-translational modification of RBC antioxidants. Larger studies are underway to verify these findings, and explore how hyperglycemia and RBC oxidative stress influence stroke outcome.

Abstract 37: Acute Hyperglycemia At Stroke Onset Is Associated With Abnormal Red Blood Cells

Background: Acute hyperglycemia at stroke onset is a common clinical problem and is an independent predictor of mortality and long-term disability. Abnormal red blood cells (RBCs) have long been recognized as a stroke risk factor and are associated with poor stroke outcome. Recent evidence has shown that short term hyperglycemia exposure can intensify oxidative stress in RBCs and cause hemolysis. We hypothesize that acute hyperglycemia may induce RBC dysfunction in stroke patients, which may be related to the poor outcome in those patients.

Method: 93 stroke patients were consecutively recruited in accordance with IRB protocol. Patients with diabetes, prediabetes or HbA1C ≥ 5.7% were excluded. None of the patients had preexisting anemia. Hyperglycemia was defined as blood glucose > 110 mg/dL at admission. RBC indices were documented for all the patients. Patients with major hemorrhagic events and multiple blood draws were excluded from the study. Clinical outcome was determined by mRankin Scale at 3 month (good: ≤ 2; poor: > 2).

Result: 45 (48.4%) were hyperglycemic and 48 (51.6%) were normoglycemic. Hyperglycemic patients showed gradually decreased RBC counts and hemoglobin content, while RBC distribution width (RDW) was gradually elevated (Fig. A). Subgroup analyses showed that the association of hyperglycemia with RBC alterations was not affected by sex and age, two factors that are known to affect RBC function (Fig. B). More importantly, patients with abnormally low RBC count, low hemoglobin and high RDW were at increased risk of developing poor outcome (Fig. C). These results remained robust after adjusting for other risk factors (Fig. C), suggesting that abnormal RBC parameters are independent predictors of poor stroke outcome.

Conclusion: Our results revealed that acute hyperglycemia at stroke onset is associated with abnormal RBC indices, which are predictive of poor stroke outcome. Studies in a larger patient cohort with extended time course are still ongoing.

Constructing Acrylic-Bonded Stationary Phase as an Artificial SEI for Highly Stable Zn Metal Anodes

The development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) has been severely restricted by metallic Zn anode issues, including Zn dendrites and uncontrollable side reactions. The direct interfacial modification of a Zn anode is a facile and effective strategy that has been favored by researchers. Herein, we propose an acrylic-bonded stationary layer as an artificial solid electrolyte interface (SEI) for the Zn anode to manipulate the Zn plating/stripping. The constructed modification layer is made of zinc acrylate cross-linked to form a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure, which can induce uniform deposition of zinc ions and balance the local electric field, thus achieving homogeneous nucleation and uniform Zn deposition. More importantly, this fabricated layer is chemically bonded to the zinc surface and can tolerate prolonged zinc deposition without shedding compared with conventional physical coatings. Consequently, the Zn/Zn symmetric cells, Zn/Na_0.92V₂O₅·nH₂O (NaVO) full cells, and Zn hybrid supercapacitors using this acrylic-bonded modified anode demonstrate greatly improved cycle performance.

The Joint Effect of Body Mass Index and Serum Lipid Levels on Incident Dementia among Community-Dwelling Older Adults

OBJECTIVES

This study aimed to explore the joint effect of body mass index (BMI) and serum lipids levels on incident dementia.

METHODS

We prospectively followed up with 1,627 dementia-free community residents aged ≥60 for 5.7 years on average. At baseline, weight, and height were measured, and total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were detected in serum. Demographic characteristics were collected through questionnaires. Dementia was based on consensus diagnosis of neurologists and neuropsychologists using DSM-IV criteria. Additive Cox proportional model was used to assess the exposure-response relationship between BMI and serum lipid levels and dementia risk. Interactions and further classifications of BMI and serum lipid levels were further presented by bivariate surface models and decision-tree models.

RESULTS

The joint effects of TC with BMI, TG with BMI, and LDL-C with BMI on the risk of incident dementia shared a similar pattern, different from their independent exposure-response curves. The joint effect of HDL-C with BMI showed an S-surface but without statistical significance. Participants with TC<5.4 mmol/L and BMI<21 kg/m2 (Hazard Ratio(HR) 1.93, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.05-3.53), TC<5.4 mmol/L and BMI≥21 kg/m2 (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.09-2.72), and TC≥5.4 mmol/L and BMI<21 kg/m2 (HR 4.02, 95% CI 2.10-7.71) were identified to have the increased risk of incident dementia compared to those with TC≥5.4 mmol/L and BMI≥21 kg/m2. Participants with TG<1.7 mmol/L and BMI<21 kg/m2 had an increased risk of incident dementia compared to those with TG≥1.7 mmol/L and BMI≥21 kg/m2 (HR 1.98, 95%CI 1.17-3.3). Participants with LDL-C≥3.3 mmol/L and BMI<21 kg/m2 were identified to have an increased risk of incident dementia compared to those with LDL-C≥3.3 mmol/L and BMI≥21 kg/m2 (HR 3.33, 95%CI 1.64-6.78).

CONCLUSIONS

Our study showed that low BMI combined with low or high levels of serum lipids may increase the risk of dementia among older adults. This finding suggests the potential impacts of these two metabolic indexes on the risk of dementia.

Short-chain fatty acids reprogram metabolic profiles with the induction of reactive oxygen species production in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) exhibit anticancer activity in cellular and animal models of colon cancer. Acetate, propionate, and butyrate are the three major SCFAs produced from dietary fiber by gut microbiota fermentation and have beneficial effects on human health. Most previous studies on the antitumor mechanisms of SCFAs have focused on specific metabolites or genes involved in antitumor pathways, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) biosynthesis. In this study, we performed a systematic and unbiased analysis of the effects of acetate, propionate, and butyrate on ROS levels and metabolic and transcriptomic signatures at physiological concentrations in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. We observed significantly elevated levels of ROS in the treated cells. Furthermore, significantly regulated signatures were involved in overlapping pathways at metabolic and transcriptomic levels, including ROS response and metabolism, fatty acid transport and metabolism, glucose response and metabolism, mitochondrial transport and respiratory chain complex, one-carbon metabolism, amino acid transport and metabolism, and glutaminolysis, which are directly or indirectly linked to ROS production. Additionally, metabolic and transcriptomic regulation occurred in a SCFAs types-dependent manner, with an increasing degree from acetate to propionate and then to butyrate. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of how SCFAs induce ROS production and modulate metabolic and transcriptomic levels in colon cancer cells, which is vital for understanding the mechanisms of the effects of SCFAs on antitumor activity in colon cancer.

Metal Halides for High-Capacity Energy Storage

High-capacity electrochemical energy storage systems are more urgently needed than ever before with the rapid development of electric vehicles and the smart grid. The most efficient way to increase capacity is to develop electrode materials with low molecular weights. The low-cost metal halides are theoretically ideal cathode materials due to their advantages of high capacity and redox potential. However, their cubic structure and large energy barrier for deionization impede their rechargeability. Here, the reversibility of potassium halides, lithium halides, sodium halides, and zinc halides is achieved through decreasing their dimensionality by the strong π-cation interactions between metal cations and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Especially, the energy densities of KI-, KBr-, and KCl-based materials are 722.2, 635.0, and 739.4 Wh kg^-1 , respectively, which are higher than those of other cathode materials for potassium-ion batteries. In addition, the full-cell with 2D KI/rGO as cathode and graphite as anode demonstrates a lifespan of over 150 cycles with a considerable capacity retention of 57.5%. The metal halides-based electrode materials possess promising application prospects and are worthy of more in-depth researches.

A novel STAT1 loss-of-function mutation associated with Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease

Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD) is a rare congenital immune deficiency characterized by susceptibility to weakly virulent mycobacteria. Loss-of-function (LOF) mutation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) is one of the common genetic causes of MSMD. In this study, we identified a patient who presented with multiple lymph node enlargements and multiple osteolytic disruptions. Mycobacterium gordonae infection was confirmed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing. Whole-exome sequencing identified a novel paternal heterozygous mutation in exon 22 of STAT1 (NM_007315.4, c.1892T>C, p.Val631Ala). This variant was confirmed pathogenic by multiple software predictions. Based on functional assays, STAT1 expression in STAT1^V631A cells was not different from STAT1^WT cells. But STAT1^V631A mutation caused much lower activation of STAT1 when stimulated by interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Fluorescence localization analysis revealed that both STAT1^V631A and STAT1^WT proteins were located in the cytoplasm, and only a few STAT1^V631A proteins were translocated to the nucleus in response to IFN-γ. These results suggest that STAT1^V631A leads to LOF in IFN-γ-mediated mycobacterial immunity, resulting in MSMD. Treatment with antibiotics has achieved ideal disease control for this patient, and no adverse events occurred during follow-up. The STAT1 LOF deficiency is a genetic cause of MSMD, which should be considered in patients with mycobacterial disease, especially those with bone involvement.

Association between maternal oxygenation and brain growth in fetuses with left-sided cardiac obstructive lesions

OBJECTIVE

Impaired brain growth has been observed in fetuses with left-sided obstructive lesions (LSOL). Maternal oxygenation (MO) can alter fetal cerebral oxygenation and vascular reactivity. Our aim was to observe whether brain growth improves during MO in fetuses with LSOL.

METHODS

Forty-six fetuses with LSOL and 23 control fetuses were enrolled in this prospective longitudinal study. Fetuses with LSOL were subgrouped into those with MO (LSOL-MO, n = 23) and those without MO (LSOL-nMO, n = 23). Fetal head circumference (HC) and total intracranial volume (TIV) were evaluated serially at 4-week intervals. Brain biometry and growth were analyzed using linear mixed models adjusted for gestational age and sex. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated to identify baseline characteristics predictive of brain growth in the LSOL-MO group.

RESULTS

Duration of MO therapy had significant interaction effects on cerebral biometry in fetuses with LSOL. TIV increased more rapidly after 8 weeks of oxygen exposure and HC was larger after 16 weeks of oxygen exposure in the LSOL-MO group compared with the LSOL-nMO group (P &lt; 0.001). The change in TIV at the final time- point relative to the initial timepoint in the LSOL-MO group correlated negatively with the baseline pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery (r = -0.58, P = 0.003) and baseline myocardial performance index of the left ventricle (r = -0.68, P &lt; 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

TIV and HC increased faster in fetuses with LSOL which had MO compared with those that did not. Lower cerebral vascular resistance and preserved left heart function at baseline may predict greater cerebral biometric growth during MO. Additional research, including larger serial studies, is needed to confirm these preliminary findings and evaluate the clinical application of MO in this population. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Panax ginseng abuse exhibits a pro‐inflammatory effect by activating the NF‐κB pathway

P. ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is a well-known traditional medicine that has been used for thousands of years to treat diseases. However, "ginseng abuse syndrome" (GAS) often occurs due to an inappropriate use such as high-dose or long-term usage of ginseng; information about what causes GAS and how GAS occurs is still lacking. In this study, the critical components that potentially caused GAS were screened through a step-by-step separation strategy, the pro-inflammatory effects of different extracts on messenger RNA (mRNA) or protein expression levels were evaluated in RAW 264.7 macrophages through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or Western blot, respectively. It was found that high-molecular water-soluble substances (HWSS) significantly increased the expression of cytokines (cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and interleukin 6 (IL-6)) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) protein; gel filtration chromatography fraction 1 (GFC-F1) further purified from HWSS showed prominent pro-inflammatory effects by increasing the transcription of cytokines (COX-2, iNOS, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β)) as well as the expression of COX-2 and iNOS protein. Moreover, GFC-F1 activated nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-кB) (p65 and inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B alpha (IκB-α)) and the p38/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling pathways. On the other hand, the inhibitor of the NF-κB pathway (pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC)) reduced GFC-F1-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, while the inhibitors of the MAPK pathways did not. Taken together, GFC-F1 is the potential composition that caused GAS through the production of inflammatory cytokines by activating the NF-кB pathway.
