RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis, a chronic immune-mediated skin disease with pathological features such as aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes, dermal-epidermal inflammation, and angiogenesis. 2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxy stilbene 2-Ο-ß-d-glucoside (2354Glu) is a natural small molecule polyhydrostilbenes isolated from Polygonum multiglorum Thunb. The regulation of IL-36 subfamily has led to new pharmacologic strategies to reverse psoriasiform dermatitis. PURPOSE: Here we investigated the therapeutic potential of 2354Glu and elucidated the underlying mechanism in psoriasis. METHODS: The effects of 2354Glu on IL-36 signaling were assessed by psoriasiform in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo model. The in vivo mice model of psoriasis-like skin inflammation was established by applying imiquimod (IMQ), and the in vitro and ex vitro models were established by stimulating mouse primary keratinocyte, human keratinocytes cells (HaCaT) and ex vivo skin tissue isolated from the mice back with Polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (Poly(I:C)), IMQ, IL-36γ and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) respectively. Moreover, NETs formation was inhibited by Cl-amidine to evaluate the effect of NETs in psoriatic mouse model. The effects of 2354Glu on skin inflammation were assessed by western blot, H&E, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS: In Poly(I:C)-stimulated keratinocytes, the secretion of IL-36 was inhibited after treatment with 2354Glu, similar to the effects of TLR3, P2X7R and caspase-1 inhibitors. In aldara (imiquimod)-induced mice, 2354Glu (100 and 25 mg/kg) improved immune cell infiltration and hyperkeratosis in psoriasis by directly targeting IL-36 in keratinocytes through P2X7R-caspase-1. When treatment with 2354Glu (25 mg/kg) was insufficient to inhibit IL-36γ, NETs reduced pathological features and IL-36 signaling by interacting with keratinocytes to combat psoriasis like inflammation. CONCLUSION: These results indicated that NETs had a beneficial effect on psoriasiform dermatitis. 2354Glu alleviates psoriasis by directly targeting IL-36/P2X7R axis and NET formation, providing a potential candidate for the treatment of psoriasis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bone or brain metastases may develop in 20-40% of individuals with late-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), resulting in a median overall survival of only 4-6 months. However, the primary lung cancer tissue's distinctions between bone, brain and intrapulmonary metastases of NSCLC at the single-cell level have not been underexplored. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of 14 tissue biopsy samples obtained from treatment-naïve advanced NSCLC patients with bone (n = 4), brain (n = 6) or intrapulmonary (n = 4) metastasis using single-cell sequencing originating from the lungs. Following quality control and the removal of doublets, a total of 80 084 cells were successfully captured. RESULTS: The most significant inter-group differences were observed in the fraction and function of fibroblasts. We identified three distinct cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) subpopulations: myofibroblastic CAF (myCAF), inflammatory CAF (iCAF) and antigen-presenting CAF (apCAF). Notably, apCAF was prevalent in NSCLC with bone metastasis, while iCAF dominated in NSCLC with brain metastasis. Intercellular signalling network analysis revealed that apCAF may play a role in bone metastasis by activating signalling pathways associated with cancer stemness, such as SPP1-CD44 and SPP1-PTGER4. Conversely, iCAF was found to promote brain metastasis by activating invasion and metastasis-related molecules, such as MET hepatocyte growth factor. Furthermore, the interaction between CAFs and tumour cells influenced T-cell exhaustion and signalling pathways within the tumour microenvironment. CONCLUSIONS: This study unveils the direct interplay between tumour cells and CAFs in NSCLC with bone or brain metastasis and identifies potential therapeutic targets for inhibiting metastasis by disrupting these critical cell-cell interactions.

RESUMO

Hepatectomy is widely considered a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, one-third of HCC patients have tumor recurrence within 2 years after surgery (early recurrence), accounting for more than 60% of all recurrence patients. Early recurrence is associated with a worse prognosis. Previous studies have shown that microvascular invasion (MVI) is one of the key factors for early recurrence and poor prognosis in patients with HCC after surgery. This paper reviews the latest literature and summarizes the predictors of MVI, the correlation between MVI and early recurrence, the identification of suspicious nodules or subclinical lesions, and the treatment strategies for MVI-positive HCC. The aim is to explore the management of patients with MVI-positive HCC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease that occurs repeatedly over time. The natural product of sesquiterpene lactones, Parthenolide (Par), is isolated from Tanacetum parthenium L. (feverfew) which has significant effects on anti-inflammatory. The therapeutic effect of the medication itself is crucial, but different routes of administration of the same drug can also produce different effects. PURPOSE: The aim of our research sought to investigate the ameliorating effects of Par in psoriasis-like skin inflammation and its related mechanism of action. RESULTS: In the IMQ-induced model, intragastric administration of Par reduced the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score, improved skin erythema, scaling, and other symptoms. And Par decreased the expression of Ki67, keratin14, keratin16 and keratin17, and increased the expression of keratin1. Par could reduce IL-36 protein expressions, meanwhile the expression of Il1b, Cxcl1 and Cxcl2 mRNA were also decreased. Par regulated the expression levels of F4/80, MPO and NE. However, skin transdermal administration of Par was more effective. Similarly, Par attenuated IL-36γ, IL-1ß and caspase-1 activated by Poly(I:C) in in vitro and ex vivo. In addition, Par also reduced NE, PR3, and Cathepsin G levels in explant skin tissues. CONCLUSION: Par ameliorated psoriasis-like skin inflammation in both in vivo and in vitro, especially after treatment with transdermal drug delivery, possibly by inhibiting neutrophil extracellular traps and thus by interfering IL-36 signaling pathway. It indicated that Par provides a new research strategy for the treatment of psoriasis-like skin inflammation and is expected to be a promising drug.

RESUMO

The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things has engendered increased requirements for low-cost, self-powered UV photodetectors. Herein, high-performance self-driven UV photodetectors are fabricated by designing asymmetric metal-semiconductor-metal structures on the high-quality large-area CsCu2I3 microwire arrays. The asymmetrical depletion region doubles the photocurrent and response speed compared to the symmetric structure device, leading to a high responsivity of 233 mA/W to 355 nm radiation. Notably, at 0 V bias, the asymmetric device produces an open-circuit voltage of 356 mV and drives to a short-circuit current of 372 pA; meanwhile, the switch ratio (Iph/Idark) reaches up to 103, indicating its excellent potential for detecting weak light. Furthermore, the device maintains stable responses throughout 10000 UV-light switch cycles, with negligible degradation even after 90-day storage in air. Our work establishes that CsCu2I3 is a good candidate for self-powered UV detection and thoroughly demonstrates its potential as a passive device.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the standardized outcomes in nephrology-hemodialysis fatigue (SONG-HD fatigue) scale and to assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the SONG-HD fatigue (C-SONG-HD fatigue) scale. METHODS: Forward and back translations were used to translate the SONG-HD fatigue scale into Chinese. We used the C-SONG-HD fatigue scale to survey Chinese patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in China. We examined the distribution of responses and floor and ceiling effects. Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficient, intraclass coefficients, and Spearman correlations were used to assess internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity, respectively. Responsiveness was also evaluated. RESULTS: In total, 489 participants across southeast China, northwest China, and central China completed the study. The C-SONG-HD fatigue scale had good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient 0.861, omega coefficient 0.916), test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.695), and convergent validity (Spearman correlation 0.691). The analysis of all first-time HD patients did not show notable responsiveness, and only patients with temporary vascular access had good responsiveness with an effect size (ES) of 0.54, a standardized response mean (SRM) of 0.85, and a standard error of measurement (SEM) of 0.77. CONCLUSION: The Chinese version of the SONG-HD fatigue scale showed satisfactory reliability and validity in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in China. It could be used as a tool to measure the fatigue of Chinese HD patients.

RESUMO

Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in salt and drought stress responses, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that the overexpression of MdMYB44-like, an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, significantly increases the salt and drought tolerance of transgenic apples and Arabidopsis. MdMYB44-like inhibits the transcription of MdPP2CA, which encodes a type 2C protein phosphatase that acts as a negative regulator in the ABA response, thereby enhancing ABA signaling-mediated salt and drought tolerance. Furthermore, we found that MdMYB44-like and MdPYL8, an ABA receptor, form a protein complex that further enhances the transcriptional inhibition of the MdPP2CA promoter by MdMYB44-like. Significantly, we discovered that MdPP2CA can interfere with the physical association between MdMYB44-like and MdPYL8 in the presence of ABA, partially blocking the inhibitory effect of the MdMYB44-like-MdPYL8 complex on the MdPP2CA promoter. Thus, MdMYB44-like, MdPYL8, and MdPP2CA form a regulatory loop that tightly modulates ABA signaling homeostasis under salt and drought stress. Our data reveal that MdMYB44-like precisely modulates ABA-mediated salt and drought tolerance in apples through the MdPYL8-MdPP2CA module.

RESUMO

Beef potentiator is an important flavour enhancer in the food industry, while it is prone to generating insufficient compounds with umami and sweet tastes and compounds with a fishy odour during enzymatic hydrolysis of beef, resulting in poor flavour of beef potentiator. It has been extensively reported that sonication is capable of improving food flavour. However, the effect of sonication on the flavour of enzymatically hydrolysed beef liquid (EHBL) was scarcely reported. Herein, we investigated the effect of sonication on the flavour of EHBL using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), physicochemical analysis and SPME-GC-olfactometry/MS. QDA showed that sonication had a significant effect on taste improvement and off-odour removal of EHBL. Compared with the control, sonication (40 kHz, 80 W/L) increased the contents of total nitrogen, formaldehyde nitrogen, total sugars, reducing sugars, free amino acids (FAAs) and hydrolysis degree of EHBL by 19.25%, 19.80%, 11.83%, 9.52%, 14.37% and 20.45%. Notably, sonication markedly enhanced the contents of sweet FAAs, umami FAAs and bitter FAAs of EHBL by 19.66%, 14.04% and 9.18%, respectively, which contributed to the taste improvement of EHBL. SPME-GC-olfactometry/MS analysis showed that aldehydes and alcohols were the main contributors to aroma compounds of EHBL, and sonication significantly increased the contents of key aroma compounds and alcohols (115.88%) in EHBL. Notably, sonication decreased the contents of fishy odorants, hexanoic acid and nonanal markedly by 35.29% and 26.03%, which was responsible for the aroma improvement of EHBL. Therefore, sonication could become a new potential tool to improve the flavour of EHBL.

RESUMO

Panax ginseng Meyer is a traditional Chinese medicine that is widely used as tonic in Asia. The main pharmacologically active components of ginseng are the dammarane-type ginsenosides, which have been shown to have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, neuroprotective, and metabolic regulatory activities. Moreover, some of ginsenosides (eg, Rh2 and Rg3) have been developed into nutraceuticals. However, the utilization of ginsenosides in clinic is restrictive due to poor permeability in cells and low bioavailability in human body. Obviously, the dammarane skeleton and glycosyls of ginsenosides are responsible for these limitations. Therefore, improving the oral bioavailability of ginsenosides has become a pressing issue. Here, based on the structures of ginsenosides, we summarized the understanding of the factors affecting the oral bioavailability of ginsenosides, introduced the methods to enhance the oral bioavailability and proposed the future perspectives on improving the oral bioavailability of ginsenosides.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: With the continuous discovery of new borderline thyroid lesions and benign and malignant "gray areas", coupled with the limitations of traditional immune indicators, the differential diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has become more difficult. Cyclin D1 and P21 are cell cycle regulators involved in the occurrence and metastasis of multiple tumors, including PTC, but their specific functions are unclear. METHODS: In our study, immunohistochemical staining was used to explore the expression of Cyclin D1 and P21 in PTC, paracancerous tissue, follicular adenoma (FA) and papillary thyroid hyperplasia. In addition, their relationship with the clinicopathological features of PTC and their differential diagnostic value in distinguishing between intralymph node PTC metastases and intralymph node ectopic thyroid tissue were studied. RESULTS: Among 200 primary PTC lesions, Cyclin D1 and P21 were found to be expressed in 186 (93.00%) and 177 (88.50%), respectively, and their expression levels were significantly higher in PTC tissue than in adjacent tissue, FA tissue and papillary thyroid hyperplasia tissue (P < 0.05). The expression levels of Cyclin D1 and P21 were positively correlated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05) but not with sex, age, number of tumor lesions, histological subtype, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or TNM stage (P < 0.05). The expression levels of Cyclin D1 and P21 were significantly correlated (P < 0.05). The positivity rates of Cyclin D1 and P21 in intralymph node PTC metastases were 97.96% (48/49) and 89.80% (44/49), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in intralymph node ectopic thyroid tissue (P < 0.05). The sensitivity (Se) and negative predictive value (NPV) of Cyclin D1 and P21 detection alone or in combination were higher than those of the combined detection of the classical antibody markers CK19, HBME-1 and Galectin-3. Besides, the Se, Sp, PPV and NPV of Cyclin D1 and P21 in differentiating intralymph node PTC metastases and intralymph node ectopic thyroid tissue were higher. CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study show that Cyclin D1 and P21 are highly sensitive and specific markers for the diagnosis of PTC that are superior to traditional classical antibodies. And, these two markers are of great value in the differential diagnosis of intralymph node PTC metastases and intralymph node ectopic thyroid tissue.

RESUMO

Highly efficient multi-dimensional data storage and extraction are two primary ends for the design and fabrication of emerging optical materials. Although metasurfaces show great potential in information storage due to their modulation for different degrees of freedom of light, a compact and efficient detector for relevant multi-dimensional data retrieval is still a challenge, especially in complex environments. Here, we demonstrate a multi-dimensional image storage and retrieval process by using a dual-color metasurface and a double-layer integrated perovskite single-pixel detector (DIP-SPD). Benefitting from the photoelectric response characteristics of the FAPbBr2.4I0.6 and FAPbI3 films and their stacked structure, our filter-free DIP-SPD can accurately reconstruct different colorful images stored in a metasurface within a single-round measurement, even in complex environments with scattering media or strong background noise. Our work not only provides a compact, filter-free, and noise-robust detector for colorful image extraction in a metasurface, but also paves the way for color imaging application of perovskite-like bandgap tunable materials.

RESUMO

The dedifferentiation of the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) has been reported in a small number of cases, usually under the pressure of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Herein, we described a de novo dedifferentiated GIST with the SDH deficiency in a 32-year-old Chinese woman. The tumor was located on the lesser curvature of the gastric antrum, measuring 4.1x9.1 cm2. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of 2 distinct morphological populations, mild epithelioid cells arranged in the multinodular growth pattern and hyperchromatic spindle cells arranged in the fascicular or sheet-like architecture. The two zones showed different immunophenotypes. The former proved to be an epithelioid GIST with the positive expression for C-KIT, DOG-1, and CD34, and the latter expressed the CKpan and P53, but negative for the C-KIT, DOG-1, and CD34. However, the SDHB staining was negative in both areas. Genetically, the next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis showed the SDHC mutation (p.S48*) in both components and the MDM2 amplification was only in the spindle cell area. The lesion was diagnosed as the SDH-deficient GIST with the epithelial cell dedifferentiation. We proposed that the P53 associated gene alteration or other alternative escape mechanisms for the KIT-independent signaling pathways might play a role in the dedifferentiation.

RESUMO

Prolyl endopeptidase can partially degrade soybean protein B3 subunit and alleviate soy sauce secondary precipitate. In this study, the influences of ultrasound-assisted prolyl endopeptidase on the degradation of soybean protein B3 subunit of soy sauce and primary mechanism were investigated using SDS-PAGE, MALDI-TOF-MS, circular dichromatic spectrometer, fluorescence spectra, etc. Results showed that ultrasound-assisted prolyl endopeptidase enhanced 72% degradation rate of B3 subunit and reduced soy sauce secondary precipitate remarkably, meanwhile significantly increased content of organic taste compounds of soy sauce compared with control (p < 0.05). Sonication markedly reduced percentage of α-helix and increased percentage of random coil, made hydrophobic amino acids inside prolyl endopeptidase exposed to its surface and enhanced its flexibility, which facilitated the binding of prolyl endopeptidase active center with B3 subunit and finally enhanced the latter's degradation rate and appearance quality of soy sauce. This work laid a foundation for solving soy sauce secondary precipitate.

RESUMO

Binary metal oxide stannate (M2SnO4; M = Zn, Mn, Co, etc.) structures, with their high theoretical capacity, superior lithium storage mechanism and suitable operating voltage, as well as their dual suitability for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), are strong candidates for next-generation anode materials. However, the capacity deterioration caused by the severe volume expansion problem during the insertion/extraction of lithium or sodium ions during cycling of M2SnO4-based anode materials is difficult to avoid, which greatly affects their practical applications. Strategies often employed by researchers to address this problem include nanosizing the material size, designing suitable structures, doping with carbon materials and heteroatoms, metal-organic framework (MOF) derivation and constructing heterostructures. In this paper, the advantages and issues of M2SnO4-based materials are analyzed, and the strategies to solve the issues are discussed in order to promote the theoretical work and practical application of M2SnO4-based anode materials.

RESUMO

Nanoselenium is a promising selenium supplement as a result of its low toxicity and high bioavailability. However, the understanding on the preparation, stability, bioavailability, possible risks, and related underlying mechanisms of nanoselenium is not in-depth. Thus, the above aspects were reviewed on the basis of the latest literature. The reducing capacity and stability of the reducing agent and binding force between nanoselenium and the template decide the nanoselenium stability. Although research on nanoselenium application in food, agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture has been widely carried out, it is not widely applied in the fields. Se-containing amino acids are synthesized using nanoselenium adsorbed by organisms, and they constitute Se-containing proteins with other amino acids, which improves the health of organisms via scavenging excessive radicals. Notably, excessive nanoselenium intake generates redundant Se-containing amino acids, leading to dysfunction of key proteins in organisms, and its toxic doses vary with organisms. Furthermore, some issues related to nanoselenium still need to be solved urgently.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate affected factors for subgroups of fatigue and the degree of fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. METHODS: This study included 120 MHD patients. Questionnaires, pre- and post-dialysis clinical data, bioimpedance spectroscopy, and ultrasound assessment were involved. RESULTS: The prevalence of fatigue in participants was 83%, including 54% of patients with fatigue worsened by dialysis, 13% with fatigue lessened by dialysis, and 16% with undifferentiated fatigue. Based on multi-nominal logistic regression analysis, age was associated with worsened fatigue by dialysis (odds ratio (OR) = 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.11, p = 0.019), lower post-dialysis phosphorus was associated with lessened fatigue by dialysis (OR = 0.03, 95% CI 0.001-0.981, p = 0.049), and there was an increasing trend of patients experiencing undifferentiated fatigue as the extracellular water / intracellular water (E/I) level increased (p for trend = 0.020). Based on multi-ordinal logistic regression analysis, age was also a significant predictor for more severe fatigue (OR = 1.042, 95% CI 1.008-1.059, p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: Different subgroups of fatigue in MHD patients have different affecting factors. Older patients were prone to worsened fatigue by dialysis, patients with lower post-dialysis phosphorus were prone to lessened fatigue by dialysis, and patients with higher E/I levels were prone to undifferentiated fatigue. Meanwhile, older patients are prone to suffer from more severe fatigue. However, more in-depth studies are needed to clarify the pathogenesis of fatigue in MHD patients.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Polygonum hydropiper L. (Polygonaceae) (PH) is a traditional Chinese traditional medicine with a pungent flavor and mild drug properties. PH is mainly distributed in the channel tropism in the stomach and large intestine. PH has multiple uses and can be used to treat a variety of diseases for a long time. OBJECTIVE: This review summarizes the phytochemical and pharmacological activities, and applications of PH from 1980 to 2022. We also provide suggestions for promoting further research and developing additional applications of PH. METHODS: The data and information on PH from 1980 to 2022 reviewed in this article were obtained from scientific databases, including Science Direct, PubMed, Science Citation Index, SciFinder Scholar (SciFinder), Springer, American Chemical Society (ACS) Publications, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), etc. Some information was obtained from classic literature on traditional Chinese medicines. The search terms were Polygonum hydropiper, phytochemistry compositions of Polygonum hydropiper, pharmacological activities of Polygonum hydropiper, and applications of Polygonum hydropiper. RESULTS: The comprehensive analysis of the literature resulted in 324 compounds being isolated, identified, and reported from PH. Regarding traditional uses, the majority of phytochemical and pharmacological studies have indicated the diverse bioactivities of PH extracts, flavonoids, and volatile oil elements, including antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. CONCLUSIONS: PH has a long history of diversified medicinal uses, some of which have been verified in modern pharmacological studies. Further detailed studies are required to establish scientific and reasonable quality evaluation standards and action mechanisms of active constituents from PH.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Unplanned reoperation is commonly performed due to postoperative complications. Previous studies have reported the incidence of unplanned reoperation following lumbar spinal surgery. But few study focused on the trend of reoperation rates, and the reasons of unplanned reoperation were not clear. In this study, we conducted a retrospective study to determine the trend of unplanned reoperation rates after degenerative lumbar spinal surgery from 2011 to 2019, and the reasons and risk factors of unplanned reoperation were also determined. METHODS: Data of patients who were diagnosed with degenerative lumbar spinal disease and underwent posterior lumbar spinal fusion surgery in our institution from January 2011 to December 2019 were reviewed. Those who received unplanned reoperation during the primary admission were identified. The demographics, diagnosis, surgical segments and postoperative complications of these patients were recorded. The rates of unplanned reoperation from 2011 to 2019 were calculated, and the reasons of unplanned reoperation were statistically analysed. RESULTS: A total of 5289 patients were reviewed. Of them, 1.91% (n = 101) received unplanned reoperation during the primary admission. The unplanned reoperation rates of degenerative lumbar spinal surgery firstly increased from 2011 to 2014, with a peak rate in 2014 (2.53%). Then, the rates decreased from 2014 to 2019, with the lowest one in 2019 (1.46%). Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis have a higher rate of unplanned reoperation (2.67%) compared with those diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation (1.50%) and lumbar spondylolisthesis (2.04%) (P < 0.05). The main reasons for unplanned reoperation were wound infection (42.57%), followed by wound hematoma (23.76%). Patients who underwent 2-segment spinal surgery had a higher unplanned reoperation rate (3.79%) than those receiving other segments surgery (P < 0.001). And different spine surgeons had different reoperation rates. CONCLUSIONS: The rates of unplanned reoperation after lumbar degenerative surgery increased at first and then decreased during past 9 years. Wound infection was the major reason for unplanned reoperation. 2-segment surgery and surgeon's surgical skills were related to the reoperation rate.
