POLQ inhibition attenuates the stemness and ferroptosis resistance in gastric cancer cells via downregulation of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase.

Gastric cancer (GC) contains subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are described as the main contributors in tumor initiation and metastasis. It is necessary to clarify the molecular mechanism underlying CSCs phenotype and develop novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for gastric cancer. Here, we show that POLQ positively regulates stem cell-like characteristics of gastric cancer cells, knockdown of POLQ suppressed the stemness of GC cells in vitro and in vivo. Further mechanistic studies revealed that POLQ knockdown could downregulate the expression of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). DHODH overexpression rescued the reduced stemness resulted by POLQ knockdown. Furthermore, we found that POLQ expression correlated with resistance to ferroptosis, and POLQ inhibition renders gastric cancer cells more vulnerable to ferroptosis. Further investigation revealed that POLQ regulated DHODH expression via the transcription factors E2F4, thereby regulating ferroptosis resistance and stemness of gastric cancer cells. Given the importance of POLQ in stemness and ferroptosis resistance of GC, we further evaluated the therapeutic potential of POLQ inhibitor novobiocin, the results show that novobiocin attenuates the stemness of GC cells and increased ferroptosis sensitivity. Moreover, the combination of POLQ inhibitor and ferroptosis inducer synergistically suppressed MGC-803 xenograft tumor growth and diminished metastasis. Our results identify a POLQ-mediated stemness and ferroptosis defense mechanism and provide a new therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer.

A Deep Learning Framework for Anesthesia Depth Prediction from Drug Infusion History.

In the target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil intravenous anesthesia, accurate prediction of the depth of anesthesia (DOA) is very challenging. Patients with different physiological characteristics have inconsistent pharmacodynamic responses during different stages of anesthesia. For example, in TCI, older adults transition smoothly from the induction period to the maintenance period, while younger adults are more prone to anesthetic awareness, resulting in different DOA data distributions among patients. To address these problems, a deep learning framework that incorporates domain adaptation and knowledge distillation and uses propofol and remifentanil doses at historical moments to continuously predict the bispectral index (BIS) is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a modified adaptive recurrent neural network (AdaRNN) is adopted to address data distribution differences among patients. Moreover, a knowledge distillation pipeline is developed to train the prediction network by enabling it to learn intermediate feature representations of the teacher network. The experimental results show that our method exhibits better performance than existing approaches during all anesthetic phases in the TCI of propofol and remifentanil intravenous anesthesia. In particular, our method outperforms some state-of-the-art methods in terms of root mean square error and mean absolute error by 1 and 0.8, respectively, in the internal dataset as well as in the publicly available dataset.

Impact of preoperative therapy on surgical outcomes of laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Objective: As laparoscopic surgery is widely applied for primarily treated gastric cancer (GC)/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) and gains many advantages, the feasibility of laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for GC/GEJC patients who have received preoperative therapy (PT) has come to the fore. This study aims to analyze the safety and feasibility of LTG after PT for GC/GEJC patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 511 patients with GC/GEJC undergoing LTG, of which 405 received LTG (LTG group) and 106 received PT+LTG (PT-LTG group) at Nanfang Hospital between June 2018 and September 2022. The surgical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: The surgical duration was significantly longer in the PT-LTG group (P<0.001), while the incidence of intraoperative complications (P=1.000), postoperative complications (LTG group vs. PT-LTG group: 26.2% vs. 23.6%, P=0.587), the classification of complication severity (P=0.271), and postoperative recovery was similar between two groups. Notably, the incidence of anastomotic complications of esophagojejunostomy was also comparable between the two groups (LTG group vs. PT-LTG group: 5.9% vs. 5.7%, P=0.918). The univariate and multivariate analysis confirmed that positive proximal margin [positive vs. negative: odds ratio (OR)=14.094, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 2.639-75.260, P=0.002], rather than PT, has an impact on anastomotic complications after LTG (OR=0.945, 95% CI: 0.371-2.408, P=0.905). Conclusions: PT did not increase the surgical risk of LTG for GC/GEJC. Therefore, considering the positive effect of PT on long-term survival, the broader application of PT and LTG for GC/GEJC is supported by our findings.

Effects of morphological traits on body weight and analysis of growth-related genes of Parabramis pekinensis at different ages.

Parabramis pekinensis was treated as research object in order to investigate the correlation between morphological traits and body weight. We measured 9 morphological indexes including total length (X1), body length (X2), body height (X3), head length (X4), snout length (X5), eye diameter (X6), eye distance (X7), caudal stalk length (X8) and caudal stalk height (X9). The principal morphological traits affecting body weight were screened out and the regression equation was established. The regression equation of Y1 (age 1 group) shape character (X) and weight (Y) was Y = - 169.183 + 32.544 × 3 + 10.263 × 4 + 15.655 × 7. The regression equation of Y2 (age 2 group) shape character (X) and weight (Y) was Y = - 694.082 + 7.725 × 1 + 72.822 × 3 + 77.023 × 6, the regression equation of Y3 (age 3 group) shape character (X) and weight (Y) was Y = - 1161.512 + 26.062 × 1 + 22.319 × 2- 107.218 × 5 + 83.901 × 7. Gene expression was consistent with these conclusions. TOR signaling pathway expression raised in Y1 then width increased. And GH-IGF-1 signaling pathway expression raised in Y2 then the length increased. In conclusion, the paper could prove that P. pekinensis showed a growth trend, which was increasing width first and length later. In some sense, the study not only enriched the basic biological data of P. pekinensis, but also provided waiting morphological traits for selective breeding of P. pekinensis artificial breeding in future.

A Transformer-Based Prediction Method for Depth of Anesthesia During Target-Controlled Infusion of Propofol and Remifentanil.

Accurately predicting anesthetic effects is essential for target-controlled infusion systems. The traditional (PK-PD) models for Bispectral index (BIS) prediction require manual selection of model parameters, which can be challenging in clinical settings. Recently proposed deep learning methods can only capture general trends and may not predict abrupt changes in BIS. To address these issues, we propose a transformer-based method for predicting the depth of anesthesia (DOA) using drug infusions of propofol and remifentanil. Our method employs long short-term memory (LSTM) and gate residual network (GRN) networks to improve the efficiency of feature fusion and applies an attention mechanism to discover the interactions between the drugs. We also use label distribution smoothing and reweighting losses to address data imbalance. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms traditional PK-PD models and previous deep learning methods, effectively predicting anesthetic depth under sudden and deep anesthesia conditions.

Decreased acetylation of HDGF improves oviduct production in Rana dybowskii, Rana amurensis, and Rana huanrenensis.

The oviduct of female Rana dybowskii is a functional food and can be used as a component of Traditional Chinese medicine. The differentially expressed genes enriched was screened in cell growth of three Rana species. We quantitatively analyzed 4549 proteins using proteomic techniques, enriching the differentially expressed proteins of Rana for growth and signal transduction. The results showed that log2 expression of hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) was increased. We further verified 5 specific differential genes (EIF4a, EIF4g, HDGF1, HDGF2 and SF1) and found that HDGF expression was increased in Rana dybowskii. Through acetylation modification analysis, we identified 1534 acetylation modification sites in 603 proteins, including HDGF, and found that HDGF acetylation expression was significantly reduced in Rana dybowskii. Our results suggest that HDGF is involved in the development of oviductus ranae, which is regulated by acetylation modification.

Roles of m6A modification in oral cancer (Review).

Oral cancer is one of the highly malignant tumors with poor prognosis. The pathogenic mechanisms of oral cancer have remained to be fully elucidated and this brings significant challenges to the treatment. RNA modification is a common intracellular chemical modification that has been related to various pathological processes, such as blood diseases, immune system diseases and cancer. As the most common and abundant RNA modification in eukaryotic mRNA, N6­methyladenosine (m6A) modification has a crucial role in several cancers, including oral cancer. m6A modification directly affects gene expression levels and regulates various physiological and pathological processes. It has been demonstrated that m6A modification may affect the proliferation, migration and invasion of oral cancer cells by regulating the level of m6A modification. In the present review, the effects of m6A modification on the proliferation and death of oral cancer cells, as well as the occurrence and development of oral cancer, were analyzed in order to provide a new target for treatment. Furthermore, the roles of m6A modification in chemotherapy resistance and potential immunotherapy were analyzed and new treatment ideas were provided.

Regulation of epigenetic modifications in the head and neck tumour microenvironment.

Head and neck tumours are common malignancies that are associated with high mortality. The low rate of early diagnosis and the high rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis are the main reasons for treatment failure. Recent studies have established that the tumour microenvironment (TME) can affect the proliferation and metastasis of head and neck tumours via several mechanisms, including altered expressions of certain genes and cytokines. Increasing evidence has shown that epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, RNA modification, and non-coding RNAs, can regulate the head and neck TME and thereby influence tumour development. Epigenetic modifications can regulate the expression of different genes and subsequently alter the TME to affect the progression of head and neck tumours. In addition, the cell components in the TME are regulated by epigenetic modifications, which, in turn, affect the behaviour of head and neck tumour cells. In this review, we have discussed the functions of epigenetic modifications in the head and neck TME. We have further examined the roles of such modifications in the malignancy and metastasis of head and neck tumours.

Role of epigenetic modification in interferon treatment of hepatitis B virus infection.

Human hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a small, enveloped DNA virus that causes acute and chronic hepatitis. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma pathogenesis. Interferons (IFNs) have been used for the treatment of CHB for a long time, with advantages including less treatment duration and sustained virological response. Presently, various evidence suggests that epigenetic modification of the viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and the host genome is crucial for the regulation of viral activity. This modification includes histone acetylation, DNA methylation, N6-methyladenosine, and non-coding RNA modification. IFN treatment for CHB can stimulate multiple IFN-stimulated genes for inhibiting virus replication. IFNs can also affect the HBV life cycle through epigenetic modulation. In this review, we summarized the different mechanisms through which IFN-α inhibits HBV replication, including epigenetic regulation. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying IFN activity are discussed, which indicated its potential as a novel treatment for CHB. It is proposed that epigenetic changes such as histone acetylation, DNA methylation, m6A methylation could be the targets of IFN, which may offer a novel approach to HBV treatment.

Engineered stem cell exosomes for oral and maxillofacial wound healing.

Wound healing of the oral and maxillofacial area affects the quality of life and mental health of the patient; therefore, effective therapies are required to promote wound healing. However, traditional treatment methods have limited efficacy. Exosomes secreted by stem cells used for oral and maxillofacial wound healing have shown outstanding results. Stem cell-derived exosomes possess the regenerative and repair ability of stem cells. Moreover, they are nontumorigenic and have good biosafety. However, the application of natural stem cell exosomes is limited owing to their low yield, impurity, lack of targeting, and low drug delivery rate. Many modification methods have been developed to engineered stem cell exosomes with beneficial properties, such as modifying parent cells and directly processing stem cell exosomes. These methods include coincubation, genetic engineering, electroporation, ultrasound, and artificial synthesis of engineered stem cell exosomes. These engineered stem cell exosomes can cargo nucleic acids, proteins, and small molecules. This gives them anti-inflammatory and cell proliferation regulatory abilities and enables the targeted promotion of efficient soft tissue repair after trauma. Engineered stem cell exosomes can decrease inflammation, promote fibroblast proliferation, and angiogenesis, and decrease scar formation to promote oral and maxillofacial wound healing, including diabetic and burn wounds. Thus, engineered stem cell exosomes are an effective treatment that has the potential for oral and maxillofacial wound healing.

Effects of rice-prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) co-culture on the microbial community of soil.

In the Lixiahe region of China, co-culture has been rapidly promoted in flooded paddy fields owing to its ecological and economic benefits. Rice-prawn co-culture can reduce the damage of crab and shrimp to rice growth and paddy field and substantially change the soil microbial community and soil fertility. In this study, we compared changes in the soil microbial community and soil fertility in waterlogged paddies under conventional rice culture (CR), rice-prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) co-culture (RP), and pond culture (PC). The microbial abundance in RP was significantly higher than that in CR. RP soil microbial diversity was significantly higher than PC soil microbial diversity. The dominant bacteria in RP soil were Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Bacteroidetes. Compared with those in CR, total organic matter (TOM) and total nitrogen in RP were relatively stable, available potassium and available phosphorus (AP) decreased, and other indicators increased significantly. Soil fertility significantly benefited from co-culture, with total organic carbon (TOC) increasing. Interactive relationship analysis showed that TOM, TOC, AP, and NH4+-N were the main factors affecting the microbial community. Co-occurrence network analyses showed that network modularity increased with co-culture, indicating that a unique soil microbial community formed under co-culture, improving the adaptability and tolerance to co-culture. Thus, RP is a suitable culture method for this commercially important species. The results of this study can inform the practical operation of fertilizer use and sustainable development of rice-prawn aquaculture systems. KEY POINTS: • Microbial abundance and diversity increased under rice-prawn co-culture. • Co-culture significantly improved soil fertility, with an increase in TOC. • Rice-prawn co-culture is an ecologically suitable culture method for prawns.

Ginsenoside Rd inhibits migration and invasion of tongue cancer cells through H19/miR-675-5p/CDH1 axis.

OBJECTIVE: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is an oral cancer, with high malignancy and frequent early migration and invasion. Only a few drugs can treat tongue cancer. Ginsenoside Rd is a ginseng extract with anti-cancer effects. Many noncoding RNAs are abnormally expressed in tongue cancer, thus influencing its occurrence and development. H19 and miR-675-5p can promote cancer cell growth. This study aimed to analyze the regulation effect of ginsenoside Rd on H19 and miR-675-5p in tongue cancer. METHODOLOGY: We used CCK8 and flow cytometry to study the growth and apoptosis. Transwell assay was used to assess invasion; wound-healing assay to assess migration; and colony formation assays to test the ability of cells to form colonies. H19, miR-675-5p, and CDH1 expressions were analyzed by qPCR. E-cadherin expression was detected using western blot. CRISPR/cas9 system was used for CDH1 knockout. RESULTS: Ginsenoside Rd inhibited the growth and increased the apoptosis of SCC9 cells. Ginsenoside Rd also inhibited the migration and invasion of SCC9 cells. H19 and miR-675-5p were highly expressed, while CDH1 and E-cadherin expressions were low. H19 and miR-675-5p promoted SCC9 metastasis. In contrast, CDH1 and E-cadherin inhibited the metastasis of SCC9 cells. Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-675-5p was associated with CDH1. H19 and miR-675-5p expressions decreased after ginsenoside Rd treatment, while CDH1 and E-cadherin expressions increased. CONCLUSIONS: Ginsenoside Rd inhibits tongue cancer cell migration and invasion via the H19/miR-675-5p/CDH1 axis.

Research on cost accounting of enterprise carbon emission (in China).

Enterprises in China face two major challenges about their existence and energy supply at present. One is the difficulty in providing enough energy at an acceptable and reasonable price; the other is a severe environmental issue caused by over-consumption of energy. The government and relevant enterprises, therefore, mainly focus on carbon emission reduction, and the cost accounting of carbon emission, an essential prerequisite, and object of carbon emission reduction, should be further attention. The carbon emission cost is divided into internal cost and external cost, combined with the extended accounting model and cost calculation. This can comprehensively measure and reflect the two costs of the life cycle of the product, provide more relevant data and information support for the deepening and development of the circular economy, and provide an effective cost information basis and guide enterprise managers for scientific decision-making and governance.

The applications of polysaccharides in dentistry.

Polysaccharides are natural polymers widely present in animals, plants, and several microorganisms. Polysaccharides have remarkable properties, including easy extractions, degradability, and renewability, and have no apparent toxicity, making them ideal for biomedical applications. Moreover, polysaccharides are suitable for repairing oral tissue defects and treating oral diseases due to their excellent biocompatibility, biosafety, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. The oral cavity is a relatively complex environment vulnerable to numerous conditions, including soft tissue diseases, hard tissue disorders, and as well as soft and hard tissue diseases, all of which are complex to treat. In this article, we reviewed different structures of natural polysaccharides with high commercial values and their applications in treating various oral disease, such as drug delivery, tissue regeneration, material modification, and tissue repair.

Correntropy based semi-supervised concept factorization with adaptive neighbors for clustering.

Concept factorization (CF) has shown the effectiveness in the field of data clustering. In this paper, a novel and robust semi-supervised CF method, called correntropy based semi-supervised concept factorization with adaptive neighbors (CSCF), is proposed with improved performance in clustering applications. Specifically, on the one hand, the CSCF method adopts correntropy as the cost function to increase the robustness for non-Gaussian noise and outliers, and combines two different types of supervised information simultaneously for obtaining a compact low-dimensional representation of the original data. On the other hand, CSCF assigns the adaptive neighbors for each data point to construct a good data similarity matrix for reducing the sensitiveness of data. Moreover, a generalized version of CSCF is derived for enlarging the clustering application ranges. Analysis is also presented for the relationship of CSCF with several typical CF methods. Experimental results have shown that CSCF has better clustering performance than several state-of-the-art CF methods.

Current practice of postoperative fasting: results from a multicentre survey in China.

OBJECTIVE: A gap between clinical practice and evidence is common. The present multicentre study was designed to explore the actual postoperative fasting practice, including the instructed fasting time from the ward staff and the actual postoperative fasting time. DESIGN: Multicentre survey. SETTING: Four tertiary hospitals in Shenzhen City, China. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 988 patients completed a survey on instructed and actual postoperative fasting. OUTCOMES: All patients received postoperative instructed fasting time from the ward staff. The median instructed fasting time for fluids from ward staff was 6 hours (IQR, 4-6 hours), and the median instructed fasting time for solid food was also 6 hours (IQR 5-6 hours) after surgery. The actual postoperative fasting time, including fluid and solid food intake, was significantly longer than the time recommended by the ward staff (both p<0.001). RESULTS: The median time to postoperative first flatus (FFL) was 16.5 hours (IQR 8-25.5 hours), and the median time to postoperative first faeces (FFE) was 41 hours (IQR 25-57 hours). The fasting time was significantly shorter than the time to FFL and the time to FFE, regardless of surgery type or anaesthesia type (all p<0.001). Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) occurred in 23.6% of patients. After surgery, 58.70% of patients reported thirst, and 47.47% reported hunger. No ileus occurred. CONCLUSION: Approximately half of the patients reported thirst and hunger postoperatively. Patients initiated oral intake earlier than the time to FFL or FFE without increasing serious complications. This study may support the rationale for interventions targeting postoperative oral intake time in future studies.

Pathogenic Mechanism and Multi-omics Analysis of Oral Manifestations in COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory infectious disease that seriously threatens human life. The clinical manifestations of severe COVID-19 include acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causal agent of COVID-19, spreads through contaminated droplets. SARS-CoV-2 particles have been detected in the saliva of COVID-19 patients, implying that the virus can infect and damage the oral cavity. The oral manifestations of COVID-19 include xerostomia and gustatory dysfunction. Numerous studies showed that the four structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 are its potential pathogenic factors, especially the S protein, which binds to human ACE2 receptors facilitating the entry of the virus into the host cells. Usually, upon entry into the host cell, a pathogen triggers the host's immune response. However, a mount of multi-omics and immunological analyses revealed that COVID-19 is caused by immune dysregulation. A decrease in the number and phenotypes of immune cells, IFN-1 production and excessive release of certain cytokines have also been reported. In conclusion, this review summarizes the oral manifestations of COVID-19 and multi-omics analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Ruyi Zhenbao Pills for Patients with Motor and Sensory Dysfunction after Stroke: A Double-Blinded, Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tibetan medicine Ruyi Zhenbao Pills (RZPs) in the treatment of patients with motor and sensory dysfunction after stroke. METHODS: A total of 120 convalescent stroke patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from June 2017 to December 2019 were enrolled in this trial. Patients were assigned to control (60 cases) and research (60 cases) groups by computer random assignment. All patients received internal treatment and modern rehabilitation training. On this basis, the research group was given oral RZPs for 4 weeks, while the control group was given oral placebo. The primary outcome was motor function of the affected side evaluated by simplified Fugl-Meyer Motion Assessment Scale (FMA-M). The secondary outcomes included sensory function, activity of daily living (ADL), quality of life, balance function, and pain, which were assessed by Fugl-Meyer Sensory Assessment Scale (FMA-S), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Special Scale of the Quality of Life (SS-QOL), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), respectively. All of the assessments were performed before treatment, and 4 and 8 weeks after treatment. Vital signs, liver and kidney functions, routine blood test, blood coagulation profile, and routine urinalysis of patients were monitored. RESULTS: After 4-week treatment, the FMA-M, BBS and FMA-S scores in the research group significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.05). At 8-week follow-up, the BBS and MBI scores in the research group were higher than the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the 2 groups in the SS-QOL and VAS scores at 4 and 8 weeks (P>0.05). Moreover, after treatment, there was no significant difference in vital signs, liver and kidney functions, blood coagulation function, blood routine and urinalysis between the 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: RZPs improved limb motor, balance, and sensory functions of stroke patients during recovery period with good safety. (Trial registration No. NCT04029701).

CNN-LSTM network-based damage detection approach for copper pipeline using laser ultrasonic scanning.

Copper pipeline is a commonly used industrial transmission pipeline. Nondestructive testing of copper pipeline early damage is very important. Laser scanning has attracted extensive attention because it can realize the visualization of guided wave propagation and non-contact on-line detection. However, the damage points detection in laser scanning imaging method rely on the difference between the damage points signals and surrounding normal points signals. This limits the applicability of laser scanning and may lead to inaccurate in large-area detection. Facing with such challenges, a damage detection method based on CNN-LSTM network is proposed for laser ultrasonic guided wave scanning detection in this paper, which can detect each scanning point signal without relying on the surrounding detection points signals. Firstly, the proposed data conversion algorithm is used to preprocess the laser scanning signals. Next, CNN-LSTM network is used to train the damage detection model. Four 1D Conv channels with different convolution kernel sizes and depths are designed in Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) module. The module can extract the signal time domain features. Then the features are input into the Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) for feature extraction and classification. Finally, the CNN-LSTM is trained using the laser scanning detection data collected on the copper pipeline with crack and corrosion damages, and applied to detect the copper pipeline damage signal. At the same time, the state-of-the-art methods is compared with proposed method. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of the method is 99.9%, 99.9%, 99.8% and 99.8% for copper pipeline 0.5 mm deep crack damage, penetrating crack damage, corrosion damage and inside crack damage, respectively. The damage location and size can be accurately detected by the proposed method.
