RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis is a globally prevalent chronic inflammatory disease with high morbidity and mortality. The development of atherosclerotic lesions is determined by macrophages. This study aimed to investigate the specific role of myeloid-derived CD147 (cluster of differentiation 147) in atherosclerosis and its translational significance. METHODS AND RESULTS: We generated mice with a myeloid-specific knockout of CD147 and mice with restricted CD147 overexpression, both in an apoE-deficient (ApoE-/-) background. Here, the myeloid-specific deletion of CD147 ameliorated atherosclerosis and inflammation. Consistent with our in vivo data, macrophages isolated from myeloid-specific CD147 knockout mice exhibited a phenotype shift from proinflammatory to anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization in response to lipopolysaccharide/IFN (interferon)-γ. These macrophages demonstrated a weakened proinflammatory macrophage phenotype, characterized by reduced production of NO and reactive nitrogen species derived from iNOS (inducible NO synthase). Mechanistically, the TRAF6 (tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6)-IKK (inhibitor of κB kinase)-IRF5 (IFN regulatory factor 5) signaling pathway was essential for the effect of CD147 on proinflammatory responses. Consistent with the reduced size of the necrotic core, myeloid-specific CD147 deficiency diminished the susceptibility of iNOS-mediated late apoptosis, accompanied by enhanced efferocytotic capacity mediated by increased secretion of GAS6 (growth arrest-specific 6) in proinflammatory macrophages. These findings were consistent in a mouse model with myeloid-restricted overexpression of CD147. Furthermore, we developed a new atherosclerosis model in ApoE-/- mice with humanized CD147 transgenic expression and demonstrated that the administration of an anti-human CD147 antibody effectively suppressed atherosclerosis by targeting inflammation and efferocytosis. CONCLUSIONS: Myeloid CD147 plays a crucial role in the growth of plaques by promoting inflammation in a TRAF6-IKK-IRF5-dependent manner and inhibiting efferocytosis by suppressing GAS6 during proinflammatory conditions. Consequently, the use of anti-human CD147 antibodies presents a complementary therapeutic approach to the existing lipid-lowering strategies for treating atherosclerotic diseases.

China is home to the second largest population of children and adolescents in the world. Yet demographic shifts mean that the government must manage the challenge of fewer children with the needs of an ageing population, while considering the delicate tension between economic growth and environmental sustainability. We mapped the health problems and risks of contemporary school-aged children and adolescents in China against current national health policies. We involved multidisciplinary experts, including young people, with the aim of identifying actionable strategies and specific recommendations to promote child and adolescent health and wellbeing. Notwithstanding major improvements in their health over the past few decades, contemporary Chinese children and adolescents face distinct social challenges, including high academic pressures and youth unemployment, and new health concerns including obesity, mental health issues, and sexually transmitted infections. Inequality by gender, geography, and ethnicity remains a feature of health risks and outcomes. We identified a mismatch between current health determinants, risks and outcomes, and government policies. To promote the health of children and adolescents in China, we recommend a set of strategies that target government-led initiatives across the health, education, and community sectors, which aim to build supportive and responsive families, safe communities, and engaging and respectful learning environments.

Enterovirus C116 (EV-C116) is a new member of the enterovirus C group which is closely associated with several infectious diseases. Although sporadic studies have detected EV-C116 in clinical samples worldwide, there is currently limited information available. In this study, two EV-C-positive fecal specimens were detected in apparently healthy children, which harbored low abundance, through meta-transcriptome sequencing. Based on the prototypes of several EV-Cs, two lineages were observed. Lineage 1 included many types that could not cause EV-like cytopathic effect in cell culture. Three genogroups of EV-C116 were divided in the maximum likelihood tree, and the two strains in this study (XZ2 and XZ113) formed two different lineages, suggesting that EV-C116 still diffuses worldwide. Obvious inter-type recombination events were observed in the XZ2 strain, with CVA22 identified as a minor donor. However, another strain (XZ113) underwent different recombination situations, highlighting the importance of recombination in the formation of EV-Cs biodiversity. The EV-C116 strains could propagate in rhabdomyosarcoma cell cultures at low titer; however, EV-like cytopathic effects were not observed. HEp-2, L20B, VERO, and 293T cell lines did not provide an appropriate environment for EV-C116 growth. These results challenge the traditional recognition of the uncultured nature of EV-C116 strains and explain the difficulty of clinical detection.

BACKGROUND: Reduced endometrium thickness and receptivity are two important reasons for recurrent implantation failure (RIF). In order to elucidate differences between these two types of endometrial defects in terms of molecular signatures, cellular interactions, and structural changes, we systematically investigated the single-cell transcriptomic atlas across three distinct groups: RIF patients with thin endometrium (≤ 6 mm, TE-RIF), RIF patients with normal endometrium thickness (≥ 8 mm, NE-RIF), and fertile individuals (Control). METHODS: The late proliferative and mid-secretory phases of the endometrium were collected from three individuals in the TE-RIF group, two in the NE-RIF group, and three in the control group. The study employed a combination of advanced techniques. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was utilized to capture comprehensive transcriptomic profiles at the single-cell level, providing insights into gene expression patterns within specific cell types. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy were employed to visualize ultrastructural details of the endometrial tissue, while hematoxylin and eosin staining facilitated the examination of tissue morphology and cellular composition. Immunohistochemistry techniques were also applied to detect and localize specific protein markers relevant to endometrial receptivity and function. RESULTS: Through comparative analysis of differentially expressed genes among these groups and KEGG pathway analysis, the TE-RIF group exhibited notable dysregulations in the TNF and MAPK signaling pathways, which are pivotal in stromal cell growth and endometrial receptivity. Conversely, in the NE-RIF group, disturbances in energy metabolism emerged as a primary contributor to reduced endometrial receptivity. Additionally, using CellPhoneDB for intercellular communication analysis revealed aberrant interactions between epithelial and stromal cells, impacting endometrial receptivity specifically in the TE-RIF group. CONCLUSION: Overall, our findings provide valuable insights into the heterogeneous molecular pathways and cellular interactions associated with RIF in different endometrial conditions. These insights may pave the way for targeted therapeutic interventions aimed at improving endometrial receptivity and enhancing reproductive outcomes in patients undergoing ART. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and translate them into clinical applications for personalized fertility treatments. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Not applicable.

Adenovirus pneumonia is a prevalent form of community-acquired pneumonia among children. Research on the epidemiology and economic burden of this disease is crucial for public health, yet comprehensive data remains scarce, making it crucial to highlight on this topic. In this study, the data were extracted from the face sheet of discharge medical records collected from 26 tertiary children's hospitals from January 2016 to December 2021. In total, 1854 children with laboratory-confirmed adenovirus pneumonia were hospitalized, accounting for 0.13% of the total number of hospitalized for pneumonia in the database during the period. In addition, this figure represents a meager 0.027% when compared to the total number of hospitalized children. The male-to-female ratio was 1.78:1. The 1-3-year age group had the highest number of inpatients for adenoviral pneumonia and the largest proportion of the total hospitalizations in the same age group. Overall, winter is the primary season for the prevalence of adenovirus pneumonia, however, in southern China, there are two peak seasons, winter and summer. Although patients with 3/4 adenovirus pneumonia had no significant complications, some patients had complications such as respiratory failure, diarrhea, and myocardial damage. The median length of stay of adenovirus pneumonia was 8 d [interquartile range (IQR) 6-11], and the median hospitalization cost was 1293.83 United States dollars (IQR 811.81-2472.51). These valuable epidemiological insights into adenovirus pneumonia in Chinese children can help direct the development of targeted prevention and control strategies and surveillance measures for HAdV infections in this demographic.

BACKGROUND: Mind wandering is a common phenomenon in daily life. However, the manifestations and cognitive correlates of mind wandering in different subclinical populations remain unclear. In this study, these aspects were examined in individuals with schizotypal traits and individuals with depressive symptoms, i.e., subclinical populations of patients with schizophrenia and depression. METHODS: Forty-two individuals with schizotypal traits, 42 individuals with subclinical depression, and 42 controls were recruited to complete a mind wandering thought sampling task (state level) and a mind wandering questionnaire (trait level). Measures of rumination and cognitive functions (attention, inhibition, and working memory) were also completed by participants. RESULTS: Both subclinical groups exhibited more state and trait mind wandering than did the control group. Furthermore, individuals with schizotypal traits demonstrated more trait mind wandering than individuals with subclinical depression. Rumination, sustained attention, and working memory were associated with mind wandering. In addition, mind wandering in individuals with subclinical depression can be accounted for by rumination or attention, while mind wandering in individuals with high schizotypal traits cannot be accounted for by rumination, attention, or working memory. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that individuals with high schizotypal traits and subclinical depression have different patterns of mind wandering and mechanisms. These findings have implications for understanding the unique profile of mind wandering in subclinical individuals.

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), which are conserved sequences of ancient retroviruses, are widely distributed in the human genome. Although most HERVs have been rendered inactive by evolution, some have continued to exhibit important cytological functions. HERVs in the human genome perform dual functions: on the one hand, they are involved in important physiological processes such as placental development and immune regulation; on the other hand, their aberrant expression is closely associated with the pathological processes of several diseases, such as cancers, autoimmune diseases, and viral infections. HERVs can also regulate a variety of host cellular functions, including the expression of protein-coding genes and regulatory elements that have evolved from HERVs. Here, we present recent research on the roles of HERVs in viral infections and cancers, including the dysregulation of HERVs in various viral infections, HERV-induced epigenetic modifications of histones (such as methylation and acetylation), and the potential mechanisms of HERV-mediated antiviral immunity. We also describe therapies to improve the efficacy of vaccines and medications either by directly or indirectly targeting HERVs, depending on the HERV.

24 chalcone derivatives containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole were synthesized. The results of bioactivity tests indicated that some of the target compounds exhibited superior antifungal activities inâ vitro. Notably, the EC50 value of D4 was 14.4â µg/mL against Phomopsis sp, which was significantly better than that of azoxystrobin (32.2â µg/mL) and fluopyram (54.2â µg/mL). The inâ vivo protective activity of D4 against Phomopsis sp on kiwifruit (71.2 %) was significantly superior to azoxystrobin (62.8 %) at 200â µg/mL. The inâ vivo protective activities of D4 were 74.4 and 57.6 % against Rhizoctonia solani on rice leaf sheaths and rice leaves, respectively, which were slightly better than those of azoxystrobin (72.1 and 49.2 %) at 200â µg/mL. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the mycelial surface collapsed, contracted and grew abnormally after D4 treatment. Finally, the results were further verified by inâ vivo antifungal assay, fluorescence microscopy (FM) observation, determination of relative conductivity, membrane lipid peroxidation degree assay, and determination of cytoplasmic content leakage. Molecular docking results suggested that D4 could be a potential SDHI.
RESUMO
Microbial transformation of dihydroresveratrol (DHRSV) using Beauveria bassiana has produced two new methylglucosylated derivatives of DHRSV (1 and 2), whose structures were characterized as 4'-O-(4â³-O-methyl-ß-D-glucopyranosyl)-dihydroresveratrol (4'-O-MG DHRSV, 1) and 3-O-(4â³-O-methyl-ß-D-glucopyranosyl)-dihydroresveratrol (3-O-MG DHRSV, 2) on the basis of spectroscopic methods. They showed moderate SIRT3 agonistic activity, and compound 2 exhibited the best deacetylation of 406.63% at 10 µM. The activity of 2 increased by 3.12-fold compared with that of DHRSV, since 2 performed better in molecular docking assay (GScore -8.445).

Cuproptosis and ferroptosis represent copper- and iron-dependent forms of cell death, respectively, and both are known to play pivotal roles in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, few studies have explored the prognostic signatures related to cuproptosis and ferroptosis in HNSCC. Our objective was to construct a prognostic model based on genes associated with cuproptosis and ferroptosis. We randomly assigned 502 HSNCC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) into training and testing sets. Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to identify cuproptosis-associated ferroptosis genes in the training set. Cox proportional hazards (COX) regression and least absolute shrinkage operator (LASSO) were employed to construct the prognostic model. The performance of the prognostic model was internally validated using single-factor COX regression, multifactor COX regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis. Additionally, we obtained 97 samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database for external validation. The constructed model, based on 12 cuproptosis-associated ferroptosis genes, proved to be an independent predictor of HNSCC prognosis. Among these genes, the increased expression of aurora kinase A (AURKA) has been implicated in various cancers. To further investigate, we employed small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to knock down AURKA expression and conducted functional experiments. The results demonstrated that AURKA knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of HNSCC cells (Cal27 and CNE2). Therefore, AURKA may serve as a potential biomarker in HNSCC.

EUS-GUIDED biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has recently gained widespread acceptance as a minimally invasive alternative method for biliary drainage. However, the risks of encountering recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) after EUS-BD have increased due to the growing clinical experience of EUS-BD and prolonged prognosis of the underlying disease. Previous studies have shown that the incidence of RBO following EUS-BD ranges from 11% to 25%. Nevertheless, literature on the efficacy of reintervention of RBO after EUS-GUIDED hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) and case reports describing the procedural details of endoscopic reintervention following EUS-HGS are lacking.
RESUMO
Biliary-enteric anastomotic stenosis is one of the main long-term complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy, with an incidence of 2%-8%. Although the relevant reports and studies are relatively few, the consequences such as biliary obstruction and refractory cholangitis seriously affect the quality of life of patients. In this case, the patient is not willing to receive conventional surgery again. This paper provides a bridge technique of EUS-guided Biliary Drainage (EUS-BD) to treat biliary-enteric anastomotic stenosis and solve the problem of obstructive jaundice in the patient.
RESUMO
Chronic pancreatitis in children is an irreversible inflammatory disease, which can cause intractable abdominal pain and abnormal internal and external secretion function of the pancreas, seriously affecting the growth and development of children and the quality of life. ERCP has become the first choice because of its good effect and less trauma. However, the severe stenosis of pancreatic duct caused by chronic pancreatitis may make ERCP more difficult. Here we used the rendezvous technique to assist ERCP to complete the treatment of severe pancreatic duct stenosis and abdominal pain.
RESUMO
Multiple malignant biliary strictures are rare, and the application of multiple stents can achieve better drainage. EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) can be offered as an alternative technique when ERCP unsuccessful. We applied Endoscopic ultrasonic guided antegrade stenting technique to treat a case of multiple biliary strictures following Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
RESUMO
Pancreatic cutaneous fistula is a complex condition, making it challenging to achieve favorable outcomes with conservative medical treatment. Surgical interventions often entail surgical risks and postoperative complications. Here, we present a case involving endoscopically guided stent placement between the stomach and the fistula. By internalizing the fistula, patients can potentially remove the external drainage tube, offering a novel endoscopic treatment approach for such cases.
RESUMO
To evaluate the prevalence and quality of antimicrobial prescriptions using a Global Point Prevalence Survey (PPS) tool and help identify targets for improvement of antimicrobial prescribing and inform the development of antimicrobial stewardship activities. Antimicrobial prescriptions for inpatients staying at a hospital overnight were surveyed on one weekday in October 2018, November 2019, and November 2020. Data including basic patient information, antimicrobial drugs, quality evaluation of antimicrobial drug prescription, and the risk factors of nosocomial infection were collected from doctor network workstation. Patient information was anonymized and entered in the PPS Web application by physicians. A total of 720 patients (median age, 62 years) were surveyed. Of them, 246 (34.2%) were prescribed antimicrobials on the survey days. Hospital-wide antimicrobial use had a significantly decreasing trend (P < 0.001). The most commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs were third-generation cephalosporins (40.5%), followed by quinolones (21.8%) and second-generation cephalosporin (12.5%). In our study, cefoperazone/sulbactam, ceftazidime, and levofloxacin were the most commonly used antimicrobials. The most common indication for antimicrobial use was pneumonia or lower respiratory tract infection (159/321, 49.5%). Antimicrobial for surgical prophylaxis represented 16.2% of the total antibiotic doses. Of those, 67.3% were administered for more than 24 h. The rate of adherence to antibiotic guidelines was 61.4%. The indications for antimicrobials were not documented in 54.5% of the prescriptions. Stop/review date was documented for 36.8% of prescriptions. The PPS tool is useful in identifying targets to enhance the quality of antimicrobial prescriptions to improve the adherence rate in hospitals. This survey can be used as a control to assess the rational application quality of antimicrobial after regular application of antimicrobial intervention.
RESUMO
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease(PID) using network Meta-analysis. The databases of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, and Web of Science were searched, and from the time of database construction to July 16, 2023, the randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Chinese patent medicines combined with antibiotics in the treatment of PID included in these databases was collected. The quality of the included literature was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and data was analyzed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 16 software. Forty-six RCTs were finally included, including Kangfu Xiaoyan Suppositories, Fuke Qianjin Tablets/Capsules, Kangfuyan Capsules, Fuyanxiao Capsules, Huahong Tablets/Capsules, Fuyanshu Capsules, Fuyue Tablets, Jingangteng Capsules, and Fuyan Kangfu Capsules. Network Meta-analysis showed that,(1) in terms of clinical effective rate, the optimal intervention was Kangfu Xiaoyan Suppositories combined with antibiotics.(2) In terms of lowering hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP), the optimal intervention was Huahong Tablets/Capsules combined with antibiotics.(3) In terms of lowering tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), the optimal intervention was Fuyue Tablets combined with antibiotics.(4) In terms of lowering recurrence rate, the optimal intervention was Fuyanshu Capsules combined with antibiotics.(5) In terms of safety, the intervention with the least adverse reactions was Kangfuyan Capsules combined with antibiotics. The results show that Chinese patent medicines combined with antibiotics in the treatment of PID can improve the comprehensive efficacy, reduce the patient's hs-CRP and TNF-α, and have a low recurrence rate, as well as safe and reliable efficacy. In clinical treatment, Kangfu Xiaoyan Suppositories or Kangfuyan Capsules combined with antibiotics can be preferred. Due to the limitations of the sample size and the quality of the literature, more large-sample and high-quality studies are needed to validate the conclusions.

Chemotherapy is the main treatment method for osteosarcoma in the clinic. However, drug resistance and its poor antimetastatic effects greatly limit its clinical application. In this work, dual-drug nanoparticles (NPs) containing albendazole (ABZ) and doxorubicin (DOX), named AD@PLGA-PEG NPs, were prepared to solve the problems of chemotherapeutic drug resistance and poor antimetastasis effects. Compared with free DOX, ABZ combined with DOX can increase intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce more tumor cell apoptosis; therefore, AD@PLGA-PEG NPs produced more mitochondria-mediated oxidative stress and better apoptosis efficiency. Importantly, ABZ can also effectively inhibit the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and then reduce the expression of its downstream vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); thus, the AD@PLGA-PEG NPs effectively inhibited tumor metastasis in vivo. Collectively, the dual-drug AD@PLGA-PEG NPs delivery system provided prominent antitumor and antimetastatic efficacy and might be a promising treatment for osteosarcoma.

Light yellowish-white colonies of a bacterial strain, designated LNNU 24178T, were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of halophyte Suaeda aralocaspica (Bunge) Freitag and Schütze grown at Shihezi district, Xinjiang, PR China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellum-forming, rod-shaped and non-motile. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that LNNU 24178T represented a member of the genus Luteimonas and shared the highest sequence similarity with Luteimonas yindakuii CGMCC 1.13927T (97.1â%) and lower sequence similarity (< 97.0â%) to other known species. The genomic DNA G+C content of LNNU 24178T was 68.8â%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between LNNU 24178T and Luteimonas yindakuii CGMCC 1.13927T, Luteimonas mephitis DSM 12574T, Luteimonas arsenica 26-35T and Luteimonas huabeiensis HB2T were 78.7, 78.6, 78.4 and 80.0â%, respectively. The digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) values between LNNU 24178T and L. yindakuii CGMCC 1.13927T, L. mephitis DSM 12574T, L. arsenica 26-35T and L. huabeiensis HB2T were 22.0, 22.3, 22.2 and 23.5â%, respectively. The respiratory quinone detected in LNNU 24178T was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). The major fatty acids (> 5.0â%) of LNNU 24178T were identified as iso-C15â:â0 (33.9â%), iso-C17â:â0 (8.7â%), iso-C11â:â0 (6.2â%), iso-C16â:â0 (5.7â%), C16â:â0 (5.3â%) and summed feature 9 (iso-C17â:â1ω9c/10-methyl C16â:â0) (21.1â%). The major polar lipids of LNNU 24178T were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), one unidentified phospholipid (PL), one unidentified glycolipid (GL) and three unidentified lipids. According to the data obtained from phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, strain LNNU 24178T represents a novel species of the genus Luteimonas, for which the name Luteimonas suaedae sp. nov. is proposed, with LNNU 24178T (= CGMCC 1.17331T= KCTC 62251T) as the type strain.

BACKGROUND: Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) accounts for 30% mortality in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Early prediction of IPN occurrence is critical for prophylactic measures to be taken. This study aimed to evaluate the predicting value for IPN of combined markers at early stages of SAP. METHODS: The clinical records of 324 SAP patients admitted within 48 h after disease onset were retrospectively analyzed. As potential predictors, the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), blood procalcitonin (PCT) concentration on the 1st, 4th, and 7th day post admission, as well as modified computerized tomography severity index (MCTSI) on the 5-7th day post admission, were extracted. Correlations between these features with IPN were analyzed using logistic regression, and predictive values were estimated using the receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. RESULTS: NLR, PCT, body mass index, and MCTSI were significantly higher in the IPN group (p < 0.001) compared to the control, among which NLR, PCT, and MCTSI were identified as independent predictors for IPN in logistic regression model. Combination of these parameters yielded significant predicting values with an area under curve of 0.92, sensitivity of 97.2%, and specificity of 77.2% in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. CONCLUSION: Combination of NLR, PCT, MCTSI might facilitate the prediction of IPN occurrence in SAP patients.
