RESUMO
Flueggea virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.) Royle, an evergreen shrub and small tree in the Phyllanthaceae family, holds significant potential in garden landscaping and pharmacological applications. However, the lack of genomic data has hindered further scientific understanding of its horticultural and medicinal values. In this study, we have assembled a haplotype-resolved genome of F. virosa for the first time. The two haploid genomes, named haplotype A genome and haplotype B genome, are 487.33 Mb and 477.53 Mb in size, respectively, with contig N50 lengths of 31.45 Mb and 32.81 Mb. More than 99% of the assembled sequences were anchored to 13 pairs of pseudo-chromosomes. Furthermore, 21,587 and 21,533 protein-coding genes were predicted in haplotype A and haplotype B genomes, respectively. The availability of this chromosome-level genome fills the gap in genomic data for F. virosa and provides valuable resources for molecular studies of this species, supporting future research on speciation, functional genomics, and comparative genomics within the Phyllanthaceae family.

Dracaena cambodiana Pierre ex Gagn. (Asparagaceae) is the source plant of Dragon's blood and has high ornamental values in gardening. Currently, this species is classified as the second-class state-protected species in the National Key Protected Wild Plants (NKPWP) of China. However, limited genomic data has hindered a more comprehensive scientific understanding of the processes involved in the production of Dragon's blood and the related conservation genomics research. In this study, we assembled a haplotype-resolved genome of D. cambodiana. The haploid genomes, haplotype A and haplotype B, are 1,015.22 Mb and 1,003.13 Mb in size, respectively. The completeness of haplotype A and haplotype B genomes was 98.60% and 98.20%, respectively, using the "embryophyta_10" dataset. Haplotype A and haplotype B genomes contained 27,361 and 27,066 protein-coding genes, respectively, with nearly all being functionally annotated. These findings provide new insights into the genomic characteristics of D. cambodiana and will offer additional genomic resources for studying the biosynthesis mechanism of Dragon's blood and the horticultural application of Dragon trees.

Lamiales, comprising over 23,755 species across 24 families, stands as a highly diverse and prolific plant group, playing a significant role in the cultivation of horticultural, ornamental, and medicinal plant varieties. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) and its subsequent post-polyploid diploidization (PPD) process represent the most drastic type of karyotype evolution, injecting significant potential for promoting the diversity of this lineage. However, polyploidization histories, as well as genome and subgenome fractionation following WGD events in Lamiales species, are still not well investigated. In this study, we constructed a chromosome-level genome assembly of Lindenbergia philippensis (Orobanchaceae) and conducted comparative genomic analyses with 14 other Lamiales species. L. philippensis is positioned closest to the parasitic lineage within Orobanchaceae and has a conserved karyotype. Through a combination of Ks analysis and syntenic depth analysis, we reconstructed and validated polyploidization histories of Lamiales species. Our results indicated that Primulina huaijiensis underwent three rounds of diploidization events following the γ-WGT event, rather than two rounds as reported. Besides, we reconfirmed that most Lamiales species shared a common diploidization event (L-WGD). Subsequently, we constructed the Lamiales Ancestral Karyotype (LAK), comprising 11 proto-chromosomes, and elucidated its evolutionary trajectory, highlighting the highly flexible reshuffling of the Lamiales paleogenome. We identified biased fractionation of subgenomes following the L-WGD event across eight species, and highlighted the positive impacts of non-WGD genes on gene family expansion. This study provides novel genomic resources and insights into polyploidy and karyotype remodeling of Lamiales species, essential for advancing our understanding of species diversification and genome evolution.
RESUMO
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a very serious kind of stroke. If the outcome of patients can be accurately assessed at the early stage of disease occurrence, it will be of great significance to the patients and clinical treatment. The present study was conducted to investigate whether non-contrast computer tomography (NCCT) models of hematoma and perihematomal tissues could improve the accuracy of short-term prognosis prediction in ICH patients with conservative treatment. In this retrospective analysis, a total of 166 ICH patients with conservative treatment during hospitalization were included. Patients were randomized into a training group (N = 132) and a validation group (N = 34) in a ratio of 8:2, and the functional outcome at 90 days after clinical treatment was assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Radiomic features of hematoma and perihematomal tissues of 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm were extracted from NCCT images. Clinical factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictive factors. In the validation group, the mean area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the hematoma was 0.830, the AUC of the perihematomal tissue within 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm was 0.792, 0.826, 0.774, respectively, and the AUC of the combined model of hematoma and perihematomal tissue within 10 mm was 0.795. The clinical-radiomics nomogram consisting of five independent predictors and radiomics score (Rad-score) of the hematoma model were used to assess 90-day functional outcome in ICH patients with conservative treatment. Our findings found that the hematoma model had better discriminative efficacy in evaluating the early prognosis of conservatively managed ICH patients. The visual clinical-radiomics nomogram provided a more intuitive individualized risk assessment for 90-day functional outcome in ICH patients with conservative treatment. The hematoma could remain the primary therapeutic target for conservatively managed ICH patients, emphasizing the need for future clinical focus on the biological significance of the hematoma itself.

Infertility is a global health problem affecting millions of people of reproductive age worldwide, with approximately half caused by males. Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) has strong antioxidant capacity, but its impact on the male reproductive system has not been effectively evaluated. To address this, we integrated RNA-seq, serum metabolomics and intestinal 16â¯S rDNA analysis to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the male reproductive system. The results showed that COS has potential targets for the treatment of oligospermia, which can promote the expression of meiotic proteins DDX4, DAZL and SYCP1, benefit germ cell proliferation and testicular development, enhance antioxidant capacity, and increase the expression of testicular steroid proteins STAR and CYP11A1. At the same time, COS can activate PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in testis and TM3 cells. Microbiome and metabolomics analysis suggested that COS alters gut microbial community composition and cooperates with serum metabolites to regulate spermatogenesis. Therefore, COS promotes male reproduction by regulating intestinal microorganisms and serum metabolism, activating PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, improving testicular antioxidant capacity and steroid regulation.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to analyze the effect of proximal neck angulation on the biomechanical indices of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and to investigate its impact on the risk of AAA rupture. METHODS: CT angiography (CTA) data of patients with AAA from January 2015 to January 2022 were collected. Patients were divided into three groups based on the angle of the proximal neck: Group A (â ß ≤ 30°), Group B (30°<â ß ≤ 60°), and Group C (â ß > 60°). Biomechanical indices related to the rupture risk of AAA were analyzed using computational fluid dynamics modeling (CFD-Post) based on the collected data. RESULTS: Group A showed slight turbulence in the AAA lumen with a mixed laminar flow pattern. Group B had a regular low-speed eddy line characterized by cross-flow dominated by lumen blood flow and turbulence. In Group C, a few turbulent lines appeared at the proximal neck, accompanied by eddy currents in the lumen expansion area following the AAA shape. Significant differences were found in peak wall stress, shear stress, and the maximum blood flow velocity impact among the three groups. The maximum blood flow velocity at the angle of the proximal neck impact indicated the influence of the proximal neck angle on the blood flow state in the lumen. CONCLUSION: As the angle of the proximal neck increased, it caused stronger eddy currents and turbulent blood flow due to a high-speed area near the neck. The region with the largest diameter in the abdominal aortic aneurysm was prone to the highest stress, indicating a higher risk of rupture. The corner of the proximal neck experienced the greatest shear stress, potentially leading to endothelial injury and further enlargement of the aneurysm.
RESUMO
Background: The effectiveness and safety of using Brucea javanica oil (BJO) in combination with Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) for liver cancer treatment are subjects of debate. This study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness and safety of BJO-assisted TACE versus TACE alone and quantifies the differences between these two treatment methods. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in multiple databases including PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, and Wanfang, until 1 July 2023. Meta-analysis was conducted, and the results were presented as mean difference (MD), risk ratio (RR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The search yielded 11 RCTs, with a combined sample size of 1054 patients. Meta-analysis revealed that BJO-assisted TACE exhibited superior outcomes compared to standalone TACE. Specific data revealed that BJO-assisted TACE improves clinical benefit rate by 22% [RR = 1.22, 95% CI (1.15, 1.30)], increases the number of people with improved quality of life by 32%, resulting in an average score improvement of 9.53 points [RR = 1.32, 95% CI (1.22, 1.43); MD = 9.53, 95% CI (6.95, 12.10)]. Furthermore, AFP improvement rate improved significantly by approximately 134% [RR = 2.34, 95% CI (1.58, 3.46)], accompanied by notable improvements in liver function indicators, with an average reduction of 27.19 U/L in AST [MD = -27.19, 95% CI (-40.36, -14.02)], 20.77 U/L in ALT [MD = -20.77, 95% CI (-39.46, -2.08)], 12.17 µmol/L in TBIL [MD = -12.17, 95% CI (-19.38, -4.97)], and a decrease of 43.72 pg/mL in VEGF [MD = -43.72, 95% CI (-63.29, -24.15)]. Most importantly, there was a 29% reduction in the occurrence of adverse reactions [RR = 0.71, 95% CI (0.60, 0.84)]. Conclusion: These findings indicate that BJO-assisted TACE may be considered as a potentially beneficial treatment option for liver cancer patients when compared to standalone TACE. It appears to contribute to improved treatment outcomes, enhanced quality of life, and potentially reduced adverse reactions, suggesting it warrants further investigation as a promising approach for liver cancer treatment.

RESUMO
Background: The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia continues to increase, which poses a significant risk for coronary artery disease. Some patients with dyslipidemia do not respond to or benefit from conventional lipid-lowering therapy, which warrants the need for alternative and complementary therapies. Chinese patent medicine (CPM) has shown great potential in the treatment of dyslipidemia, but its clinical value needs to be further explored. This study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of CPM in treating dyslipidemia. Methods: This study was registered in INPLASY as INPLASY202330090. The randomized controlled trials included in this study were published in January 2013 to March 2023 and retrieved from the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Internet, WanFang, and VIP. The bias risk in the study was independently evaluated by two reviewers using the Cochrane Randomized Trial Bias Risk Tool (RoB 2) Review Manager 5.4 software was used for the overall effect analysis and subgroup analysis of four blood lipids, and the trial sequential analysis (TSA) was conducted to check the results. Results: A total of 69 studies were included, involving 6,993 participants. The methodological quality was in the middle level. Meta-analysis showed that CPM markedly improved the levels of total cholesterol (TC) [mean difference (MD) =-0.54 mmol/L; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.71 to -0.37; P<0.001], triglyceride (TG) (MD =-0.43 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.53 to -0.33; P<0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (MD =-0.40 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.50 to -0.30; P<0.001) and increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (MD =0.23 mmol/L; 95% CI: 0.18 to 0.27; P<0.001), in patients with dyslipidemia. Though CPM did not differ significantly from statins when used alone, it could improve lipid profile better in all cases when used in combination with statins and with drugs used for comorbidities or co-morbidities. Subgroup analysis found that the efficacy of pill formulations was superior to other formulations, and CPM showed better lipid-lowering response in the context of comorbidity. The TSA confirmed the robustness of the analysis of the LDL-C level. No significant difference was observed in the incidence of adverse events between the treatment group and the control group [risk ratio (RR) =0.89; 95% CI: 0.69-1.16; P=0.40]. Conclusions: CPM can yield superior therapeutic effects in ameliorating dyslipidemia without exacerbating adverse effects as an alternative and complementary therapy. In addition, the therapeutic effect can be improved by emphasizing pill formulation and strengthening the standardization of syndromes.
RESUMO
HCC is globally recognized as a major health threat. Despite significant progress in the development of treatment strategies for liver cancer, recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance remain key factors leading to a poor prognosis for the majority of liver cancer patients. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop effective biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC. Collagen, the most abundant and diverse protein in the tumor microenvironment, is highly expressed in various solid tumors and plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of tumors. Recent studies have shown that abnormal expression of collagen in the tumor microenvironment is closely related to the occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis, drug resistance, and treatment of liver cancer, making it a potential therapeutic target and a possible diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for HCC. This article provides a comprehensive review of the structure, classification, and origin of collagen, as well as its role in the progression and treatment of HCC and its potential clinical value, offering new insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis assessment of liver cancer.

Sepsis arises from an uncontrolled inflammatory response triggered by infection or stress, accompanied by alteration in cellular energy metabolism, and a strong correlation exists between these factors. Alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG), an intermediate product of the TCA cycle, has the potential to modulate the inflammatory response and is considered a crucial link between energy metabolism and inflammation. The scavenger receptor (SR-A5), a significant pattern recognition receptor, assumes a vital function in anti-inflammatory reactions. In the current investigation, we have successfully illustrated the ability of α-KG to mitigate inflammatory factors in the serum of septic mice and ameliorate tissue damage. Additionally, α-KG has been shown to modulate metabolic reprogramming and macrophage polarization. Moreover, our findings indicate that the regulatory influence of α-KG on sepsis is mediated through SR-A5. We also elucidated the mechanism by which α-KG regulates SR-A5 expression and found that α-KG reduced the N6-methyladenosine level of macrophages by up-regulating the m6A demethylase ALKBH5. α-KG plays a crucial role in inhibiting inflammation by regulating SR-A5 expression through m6A demethylation during sepsis. The outcomes of this research provide valuable insights into the relationship between energy metabolism and inflammation regulation, as well as the underlying molecular regulatory mechanism.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a rare anatomical defect of the pituitary gland falling under the spectrum of holoprosencephaly phenotypes. It is characterized by a deficiency in anterior pituitary hormones, such as growth hormone, gonadotropins, and thyroid hormones. Due to the syndrome's rarity and nonspecific manifestations, there is a lack of standardized treatment strategies. Consequently, early diagnosis through imaging and on-time intervention are crucial for improving patients' outcomes. CASE SUMMARY: A 30-year-old man presented with absent secondary sexual characteristics and azoospermia. Laboratory evaluation revealed a deficiency in gonadotropins, while thyroid function was mostly within normal ranges. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary gland showed pituitary stalk agenesis, hypoplasia of the anterior pituitary, and ectopic posterior pituitary, leading to the diagnosis of PSIS. Initially, the patient underwent 6 mo of gonadotropin therapy without significant changes in hormone levels and secondary sexual characteristics. Pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone therapy was then administered, resulting in the detection of sperm in the semen analysis within 3 mo. After 6 mo, routine semen tests showed normal semen quality. The couple faced challenges in conceiving due to abstinence and underwent three cycles of artificial insemination, which was unsuccessful. They also attempted in vitro fertilization, but unfortunately, the woman experienced a miscarriage 10 wk after the embryo transfer. CONCLUSION: Early detection, accurate diagnosis, and timely treatment are crucial in improving the quality of life and fertility of PSIS patients.
RESUMO
With the continuous expansion of saline soils under climate change, understanding the eco-evolutionary tradeoff between the microbial mitigation of carbon limitation and the maintenance of functional traits in saline soils represents a significant knowledge gap in predicting future soil health and ecological function. Through shotgun metagenomic sequencing of coastal soils along a salinity gradient, we show contrasting eco-evolutionary directions of soil bacteria and archaea that manifest in changes to genome size and the functional potential of the soil microbiome. In salt environments with high carbon requirements, bacteria exhibit reduced genome sizes associated with a depletion of metabolic genes, while archaea display larger genomes and enrichment of salt-resistance, metabolic, and carbon-acquisition genes. This suggests that bacteria conserve energy through genome streamlining when facing salt stress, while archaea invest in carbon-acquisition pathways to broaden their resource usage. These findings suggest divergent directions in eco-evolutionary adaptations to soil saline stress amongst microbial clades and serve as a foundation for understanding the response of soil microbiomes to escalating climate change.

AIMS: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are considered important regulators of biological processes, but their impact on atherosclerosis development, a key factor in coronary artery disease (CAD), has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to investigate their potential use in patients with CAD and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with stable angina (SA) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and controls were selected for transcriptomic screening and quantification of circRNAs in blood cells. We stained carotid plaque samples for circRNAs and performed gain- and loss-of-function studies in vitro. Western blots, protein interaction analysis, and molecular approaches were used to perform the mechanistic study. ApoE-/- mouse models were employed in functional studies with adeno-associated virus-mediated genetic intervention. We demonstrated elevated circARCN1 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with SA or ACS, especially in those with ACS. Furthermore, higher circARCN1 levels were associated with a higher risk of developing SA and ACS. We also observed elevated expression of circARCN1 in carotid artery plaques. Further analysis indicated that circARCN1 was mainly expressed in monocytes and macrophages, which was also confirmed in atherosclerotic plaques. Our in vitro studies provided evidence that circARCN1 affected the interaction between HuR and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 31 (USP31) mRNA, resulting in attenuated USP31-mediated NF-κB activation. Interestingly, macrophage accumulation and inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques were markedly decreased when circARCN1 was knocked down with adeno-associated virus in macrophages of ApoE-/- mice, while circARCN1 overexpression in the model exacerbated atherosclerotic lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide solid evidence macrophagic-expressed circARCN1 plays a role in atherosclerosis development by regulating HuR-mediated USP31 mRNA stability and NF-κB activation, suggesting that circARCN1 may serve as a factor for atherosclerotic lesion formation.
RESUMO
Chinese cherry (Prunus pseudocerasus) holds considerable importance as one of the primary stone fruit crops in China. However, artificially improving its traits and genetic analysis are challenging due to lack of high-quality genomic resources, which mainly result from difficulties associated with resolving its tetraploid and highly heterozygous genome. Herein, we assembled a chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved genome of the cultivar 'Zhuji Duanbing', comprising 993.69 Mb assembled into 32 pseudochromosomes using PacBio HiFi, Oxford Nanopore, and Hi-C. Intra-haplotype comparative analyses revealed extensive intra-genomic sequence and expression consistency. Phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses demonstrated that P. pseudocerasus was a stable autotetraploid species, closely related to wild P. pusilliflora, with the two diverging ~18.34 million years ago. Similar to other Prunus species, P. pseudocerasus underwent a common whole-genome duplication event that occurred ~139.96 million years ago. Because of its low fruit firmness, P. pseudocerasus is unsuitable for long-distance transportation, thereby restricting its rapid development throughout China. At the ripe fruit stage, P. pseudocerasus cv. 'Zhuji Duanbing' was significantly less firm than P. avium cv. 'Heizhenzhu'. The difference in firmness is attributed to the degree of alteration in pectin, cellulose, and hemicellulose contents. In addition, comparative transcriptomic analyses identified GalAK-like and Stv1, two genes involved in pectin biosynthesis, which potentially caused the difference in firmness between 'Zhuji Duanbing' and 'Heizhenzhu'. Transient transformations of PpsGalAK-like and PpsStv1 increase protopectin content and thereby enhance fruit firmness. Our study lays a solid foundation for functional genomic studies and the enhancement of important horticultural traits in Chinese cherries.
RESUMO
Ovate Family Proteins (OFPs) are emerging as novel transcriptional regulators of fruit shape. Despite their established role in various species, their involvement in regulating grape fruit shape remains understudied. This study encompassed a comprehensive evaluation of 16 grape OFP genes in total at the whole genome level. Phylogenetic and synteny analyses established a close relationship between grape VvOFP genes and their tomato counterparts. Expression profiling post-treatment with gibberellic acid (GA3) and thidiazuron (TDZ) revealed that certain OFP genes responded to these regulators, with VvOFP4 showing peak expression three days post-anthesis. Functional assays via overexpression of VvOFP4 in tobacco and tomato altered the morphology of both vegetative and reproductive organs, including leaves, stamens, and fruits/pods. Paraffin sections of transgenic tobacco stems and tomato fruits demonstrated that VvOFP4 overexpression modifies cell dimensions, leading to changes in organ morphology. Additionally, treatments with GA3 and TDZ similarly influenced the shape of grape pulp cells and thereby the overall fruit morphology. These findings suggest that the VvOFP4 gene plays a crucial role in fruit shape determination by modulating cell shape and presents a potential target for future grape breeding programs aimed at diversifying fruit shapes.

Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis), pivotal in the study of photosynthesis, endosymbiosis, and chloroplast development, is also an industrial microalga for paramylon production. Despite its importance, E. gracilis genome exploration faces challenges due to its intricate nature. In this study, we achieved a chromosome-level de novo assembly (2.37 Gb) using Illumina, PacBio, Bionano, and Hi-C data. The assembly exhibited a contig N50 of 619 Kb and scaffold N50 of 1.12 Mb, indicating superior continuity. Approximately 99.83% of the genome was anchored to 46 chromosomes, revealing structural insights. Repetitive elements constituted 58.84% of the sequences. Functional annotations were assigned to 39,362 proteins, enhancing interpretative power. BUSCO analysis confirmed assembly completeness at 80.39%. This first high-quality E. gracilis genome offers insights for genetics and genomics studies, overcoming previous limitations. The impact extends to academic and industrial research, providing a foundational resource.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer has become a major public health problem in the current society, and its incidence rate ranks the first among Chinese female malignant tumors. This paper once again confirmed the efficacy of lncRNA in tumor regulation by introducing the mechanism of the diagnosis of breast cancer by the MIR497HG/miR-16-5p axis. METHODS: The abnormal expression of MIR497HG in breast cancer was determined by RT-qPCR method, and the correlation between MIR497HG expression and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients was analyzed via Chi-square test. To understand the diagnostic potential of MIR497HG in breast cancer by drawing the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The overexpressed MIR497HG (pcDNA3.1-MIR497HG) was designed and constructed to explore the regulation of elevated MIR497HG on biological function of BT549 and Hs 578T cells through Transwell assays. Additionally, the luciferase gene reporter assay and Pearson analysis evaluated the targeting relationship of MIR497HG to miR-16-5p. RESULTS: MIR497HG was decreased in breast cancer and had high diagnostic function, while elevated MIR497HG inhibited the migration and invasion of BT549 and Hs 578T cells. In terms of functional mechanism, miR-16-5p was the target of MIR497HG, and MIR497HG reversely regulated the miR-16-5p. miR-16-5p mimic reversed the effects of upregulated MIR497HG on cell biological function. CONCLUSIONS: In general, MIR497HG was decreased in breast cancer, and the MIR497HG/miR-16-5p axis regulated breast cancer tumorigenesis, providing effective insights for the diagnosis of patients.
