Hippocampal subfields in remitted schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: Current evidence of volume changes in hippocampal subdivisions in schizophrenia remains inconsistent, and few studies have investigated the relationship between regional hippocampal volumes and symptom remission. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 31 patients with schizophrenia and 31 healthy controls (HCs). Symptomatic remission in schizophrenia was determined according to Remission in Schizophrenia Working Group criteria. The volumes of hippocampal longitudinal subregions and transverse subfields were measured using manual and automatic techniques, respectively. Between-group regional hippocampal volume differences were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance followed by univariate analysis of covariance. RESULTS: Compared with the HCs, the patients with schizophrenia had smaller bilateral heads and tails along the longitudinal axis; they also had reduced volumes of the bilateral CA1, CA3, CA4, GC-ML-DG, molecular layer, tail, left subiculum, left HATA, and right parasubiculum along the transverse axis in the hippocampus (all corrected p < 0.05). Furthermore, compared with the HCs and patients with remitted schizophrenia, the patients with non-remitted schizophrenia had smaller bilateral hippocampal tail subfields (corrected p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results indicated that the pathophysiology and symptomatic remission of schizophrenia are related to changes in the volumes of hippocampal subdivisions. These volume changes might be clinically relevant as biomarkers for schizophrenia identification and treatment.

Simulation of Dispersion and Explosion Characteristics of LiFePO4 Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Runaway Gases.

In recent years, as the installed scale of battery energy storage systems (BESS) continues to expand, energy storage system safety incidents have been a fast-growing trend, sparking widespread concern from all walks of life. During the thermal runaway (TR) process of lithium-ion batteries, a large amount of combustible gas is released. In this paper, the 105 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery TR test was conducted, and the flammable gas components released from the battery TR were detected. The simulation tests of the diffusion and explosion characteristics of lithium iron phosphate battery's (LFP) TR gases with different numbers and positions in the BESS were carried out using FLACS simulation software. It was found that the more batteries TR simultaneously, the shorter the time for the combustible gas concentration in the energy storage cabin to reach the explosion limit. When 48 batteries were in TR simultaneously in the energy storage cabin, the shortest time was 9.8 s, and the further the location of the fire is from the hatch, the largest explosion overpressure is generated to the hatch, up to 583 kPa. When the gas generated by the TR of 48 batteries explodes, the maximum explosion overpressure at 5 m outside the energy storage cabin hatch is more significant than 40 kPa, which will cause serious injury to humans. The causes of TR of batteries in prefabricated chambers are complex, and the location and amount of thermal runaway of batteries as well as the diffusion of combustible fumes can have different effects on the external environment. The research results can provide support for the safety design of BESS.

Recent-year variations in O3 pollution with high-temperature suppression over central China.

By analyzing environmental and meteorological monitoring data over recent years of 2015-2022, the Twain-Hu Basin (THB) in central China was identified as a regional O3 pollution center over China with the highest increasing trend at 1.10 %⸱yr-1 in interannual variations of O3 concentrations with deteriorating O3 pollution over recent years. We explored the spatiotemporal variations in O3 pollution in the THB with ozone suppression (OS) under high air temperature over metropolitan, small urban, and mountainous areas. The bipolarized interannual trends in interannual O3 variations in urban and mountainous areas over central China were characterized with the increasing and decreasing 90th percentiles of the daily maximum 8-h (MDA8-90) O3 concentrations respectively in polluted urban areas and clean mountainous areas over recent eight years. The changes of the near-surface O3 concentrations with air temperature exhibited the inflection points of OS from increasing to decreasing O3 at air temperature of 30.5 °C in mountainous areas, 32.5 °C in small urban areas, and 34.5 °C in metropolitan areas, and the intensity of OS was estimated in the ranking with mountainous areas (-2.30 µg⸱m-3⸱°C-1) > small urban areas (-1.96 µg⸱m-3⸱°C-1) > metropolitan areas (-1.54 µg⸱m-3⸱°C-1), indicating that the OS was more significant over the lower-O3 mountainous areas. This study has implications for understanding O3 pollution variations with the meteorological drivers.

Investigation of the Degradation of LiPF6- in Polar Solvents through Deep Potential Molecular Dynamics.

The nonaqueous electrolyte based on lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) is the dominant liquid electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, trace protic impurities, including H3O+, alcohols, and hydrofluoric acid (HF), can trigger a series of side reactions that lead to rapid capacity fading in high energy density LIBs. It is worth noting that this degradation process is highly dependent on the polarity of the solvents. In this work, a deep potential (DP) model is trained with a certain commercial electrolyte formula through a machine learning method. H3O+ is anchored with polar solvents, making it difficult to approach the PF6-, and suppressing the degradation process quickly at room temperature. Control experiments and simulations at different temperatures or concentrations are also performed to verify it. This work proposes a precise model to describe the solvation structure quantitatively and offers a new perspective on the degradation mechanism of PF6- in polar solvents.

A comparison of various insulin resistance indices and the possibility of hypertension in military adults: CHIEF study.

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance is associated with the development of hypertension, whereas there were rare studies comparing various non-insulin based insulin resistance (NI-IR) indices for the possibility of hypertension among young and middle-aged adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included a total of 4,080 military personnel, aged 18-50 years, without antihypertensive medications therapy in 2014. All subjects received annual health examinations for blood pressure (BP) measurements. Stage I isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) and isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and combined hypertension were respectively defined as systolic BP (SBP) < 130 mmHg/diastolic BP (DBP) 80-89 mmHg, SBP 130-139 mmHg/DBP < 80 mmHg, and SBP 130-139 mmHg/DBP 80-89 mmHg. The cut-off values of stage II hypertension for SBP and DBP were 140-159 mmHg and 90-99 mmHg, respectively. Four NI-IR indices included the serum triglycerides (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, TyG index, Metabolic Score for IR (METS-IR) and ZJU index which were defined according to their specific formula. Multiple logistic regression analysis with adjustments for age, sex, anthropometrics, substance use, kidney function, serum uric acid, atherogenic cholesterols and physical activity was performed to determine the associations. RESULTS: There were 1,024 subjects with hypertension (25.1%) in which 739 were stage I hypertension, and 285 were stage II hypertension. For total hypertension, there were an association with TyG and METS-IR indices [odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals: 1.432 (1.215-1.688) and 1.553 (1.040-2.321), respectively]. For hypertension subtypes, TyG index was positively associated with overall, stage I, and stage II ISH [ORs: 1.447 (1.149-1.823), 1.317 (1.029-1.687), and 2.011 (1.351-2.994), respectively], while TG/HDL-C, METS-IR and ZJU indices were merely associated with stage II ISH [ORs: 1.053 (1.006-1.103), 3.001 (1.171-7.696) and 1.009 (1.000-1.017), respectively]. In addition, TyG and METS-IR indices were positively associated with stage II IDH [ORs: 1.813 (1.207-2.721) and 2.85 (1.080-7.520), respectively], and TyG index was also associated with combined hypertension [OR: 1.425 (1.007-1.833)]. CONCLUSION: Among young and middle-aged adults, insulin resistance assessed by the four NI-IR indices was positively associated with stage II ISH, while only TyG index had a significant association for both stage II IDH and combined hypertension.

Variable selection for quantile autoregressive model: Bayesian methods versus classical methods.

In this article, we introduce three Bayesian variable selection methods for the quantile autoregressive model with explanatory variables. The Gibbs sampling algorithms are developed for each method by setting different priors. The numerical simulations suggest that the Gibbs sampling algorithms converge fast and Bayesian variable selection methods are reliable. A real example is given to analysis the relationship between the count of total rental bikes and five explanatory variables. Both simulations and data example indicate that the proposed methods are feasible, reliable, and appropriate for analyzing the Bike Sharing data set.

CCDC58 is a potential biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis, immunity, and genomic heterogeneity in pan-cancer.

Coiled-coil domain-containing 58 (CCDC58) is a member of the CCDC protein family. Similar to other members, CCDC58 exhibits potential tumorigenic roles in a variety of malignancies. However, there is no systematic and comprehensive pan-cancer analysis to investigate the diagnosis, prognosis, immune infiltration, and other related functions of CCDC58. We used several online websites and databases, such as TCGA, GTEx, UALCAN, HPA, CancerSEA, BioGRID, GEPIA 2.0, TIMER 2.0, and TISIDB, to extract CCDC58 expression data and clinical data of patients in pan-cancer. Then, the relationship between CCDC58 expression and diagnosis, prognosis, genetic alterations, DNA methylation, genomic heterogeneity, and immune infiltration level were determined. In addition, the biological function of CCDC58 in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) was investigated. Pan-cancer analysis results showed that CCDC58 was differentially expressed in most tumors and showed excellent performance in diagnosis and prediction of prognosis. The expression of CCDC58 was highly correlated with genetic alterations, DNA methylation, and genomic heterogeneity in some tumors. In addition, the correlation analysis of CCDC58 with the level of immune infiltration and immune checkpoint marker genes indicated that CCDC58 might affect the composition of the tumor immune microenvironment. Enrichment analysis showed that CCDC58-related genes were mainly linked to mitosis, chromosome, and cell cycle. Finally, biological function experiments demonstrated that CCDC58 plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation and migration. CCDC58 was first identified as a pan-cancer biomarker. It may be used as a potential therapeutic target to improve the prognosis of patients in the future.

Long-term surgical outcomes of bile duct tumor thrombus versus portal vein tumor thrombus for hepatocellular carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis.

Background: Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) seriously affects the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, whether bile duct tumor thrombus (BDTT) significantly affects the prognosis of HCC as much as PVTT remains unclear. We aimed to compare the long-term surgical outcomes of HCC with macroscopic PVTT (macro-PVTT) and macroscopic BDTT (macro-BDTT). Methods: The data of HCC patients with macro-BDTT or macro-PVTT who underwent hemihepatectomy were retrospectively reviewed. A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the baseline imbalance. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were compared between the cohorts. Results: Before PSM, the PVTT group had worse RFS and OS rates than the BDTT group (P = 0.043 and P = 0.008, respectively). Multivariate analyses identified PVTT (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.835, P = 0.016) and large HCC (HR = 1.553, P = 0.039) as independent risk factors for poor OS and RFS, respectively. After PSM, the PVTT group had worse RFS and OS rates than the BDTT group (P = 0.037 and P = 0.004, respectively). The 3- and 5-year OS rates were significantly higher in the BDTT group (59.5% and 52.1%, respectively) than in the PVTT group (33.3% and 20.2%, respectively). Conclusion: Aggressive hemihepatectomy provides an acceptable prognosis for HCC patients with macro-BDTT. Furthermore, the long-term surgical outcomes of HCC patients with macro-BDTT were significantly better than those of HCC patients with macro-PVTT.

Copper-catalysed asymmetric hydroboration of alkenes with 1,2-benzazaborines to access chiral naphthalene isosteres.

Bioisosteric replacement has emerged as a clear strategy for drug-structure optimization. Naphthalene is the core element of many chiral pharmaceuticals and drug candidates. However, as a promising isostere of naphthalene, the chiral version of 1,2-benzazaborine has rarely been explored due to the lack of efficient synthetic methods. Here we describe a copper-catalysed enantioselective hydroboration of alkenes with 1,2-benzazaborines. The method provides a general platform for the atom-economic and efficient construction of diverse chiral 1,2-benzazaborine compounds (more than 60 examples) that bear a 2-carbon-stereogenic centre or allene skeleton in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Three 1,2-benzazaborine analogues of bioactive chiral naphthalene-containing molecules have been prepared, and a series of transformations around chiral 1,2-benzazaborines have also been developed. Notably, the hydroboration process of this study reveals that the identity of 1,2-benzazaborine plays an essential role in the rate-determining step and catalyst resting state.

One-Stone-for-Two-Birds Strategy for VSe2 to Enable High Capacity and Long-Life Zinc Storage.

Based on a specific zinc storage mechanism and excellent electronic conductivity, transition metal dichalcogenides, represented by vanadium diselenide, are widely used in aqueous zinc-ion battery (AZIB) energy storage systems. However, most vanadium diselenide cathode materials are presently limited by low specific capacity and poor cycling life. Herein, a simple hydrothermal process has been proposed for obtaining a vanadium diselenide cathode for an AZIB. The interaction of defects and crystal planes enhances zinc storage capacity and reduces the migration energy barrier. Moreover, abundant lamellar structure greatly increases reaction sites and alleviates volume expansion during the electrochemical process. Thus, the as-obtained vanadium diselenide AZIB exhibits an excellent reversible specific capacity of 377 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1, and ultralong cycle stability of 291 mAh g-1 after 3200 cycles, with a nearly negligible capacity loss. This one-stone-for-two-birds strategy would be expected to be applied to large-scale synthesis of a high-performance zinc-ion battery cathode in the future.

Dehydrative alkynylation of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones with terminal alkynes for the synthesis of 3-alkynylated 3,3-disubstituted isoindolinones.

A brand-new procedure for the synthesis of 3-alkynylated 3,3-disubstituted isoindolinones has been disclosed via a HOTf or Fe(OTf)3-catalyzed dehydrative alkynylation of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones with terminal alkynes. Aryl, alkenyl and alkyl terminal alkynes are suitable to couple with a broad range of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones to afford the desired products in moderate to good yields. This protocol features the use of an inexpensive catalyst, mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope and easy elaboration of the products.

Basal actomyosin pulses expand epithelium coordinating cell flattening and tissue elongation.

Actomyosin networks constrict cell area and junctions to alter cell and tissue shape. However, during cell expansion under mechanical stress, actomyosin networks are strengthened and polarized to relax stress. Thus, cells face a conflicting situation between the enhanced actomyosin contractile properties and the expansion behaviour of the cell or tissue. To address this paradoxical situation, we study late Drosophila oogenesis and reveal an unusual epithelial expansion wave behaviour. Mechanistically, Rac1 and Rho1 integrate basal pulsatile actomyosin networks with ruffles and focal adhesions to increase and then stabilize basal area of epithelial cells allowing their flattening and elongation. This epithelial expansion behaviour bridges cell changes to oocyte growth and extension, while oocyte growth in turn deforms the epithelium to drive cell spreading. Basal pulsatile actomyosin networks exhibit non-contractile mechanics, non-linear structures and F-actin/Myosin-II spatiotemporal signal separation, implicating unreported expanding properties. Biophysical modelling incorporating these expanding properties well simulates epithelial cell expansion waves. Our work thus highlights actomyosin expanding properties as a key mechanism driving tissue morphogenesis.

The Browning Properties, Antioxidant Activity, and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Improvement of Aged Oranges (Citrus sinensis).

Oranges contain many natural active chemicals, organic acids, and polysaccharides. Aging processing is commonly used to modify the color, quality, functional components, and stability of fruits. This study assesses the preparation of aging black oranges using various pre-treatments and solid fermentation. Oranges were aged for six weeks in fresh, non-blanching, blanching, and hot air-assisted aging cycle (AA) groups. The oranges' shrinkage ratio, color difference values, and soluble solids content changed significantly (p < 0.05). Principal component analysis indicated that aging fermentation treatment accelerated glycolysis and increased the ratio of reducing sugars. The enhanced browning can be associated with the oxidation of ascorbic acid (0.66-0.47 mg/g) and the formation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) (0.09 mg/g). Furthermore, the presence of free polyphenols led to an increase in the total polyphenol and total flavonoid content. It also had a synergistic effect with 5-HMF in increasing the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical-scavenging capacity and ferric ion-reducing antioxidant power (p < 0.05). AA had superior α-glucosidase inhibitory ability increasing from 67.31 to 80.48%. It also reduced the development time by 33%. Therefore, aging technology can enhance the bioactive compounds in oranges and provide a reference for future whole-fruit aging fermentation and health product creation.

Lateral Heterostructure Formed by Highly Thermally Conductive Fluorinated Graphene for Efficient Device Thermal Management.

The continued miniaturization of chips demands highly thermally conductive materials and effective thermal management strategies. Particularly, the high-field transport of the devices built with 2D materials is limited by self-heating. Here a systematic control of heat flow in single-side fluorinated graphene (FG) with varying degrees of fluorination is reported, revealing a superior room-temperature thermal conductivity as high as 128 W m-1 K-1. Monolayer graphene/FG lateral heterostructures with seamless junctions are approached for device fabrication. Efficient in-plane heat removal paths from graphene channel to side FG are created, contributing significant reduction of the channel peak temperature and improvement in the current-carrying capability and power density. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the interfacial thermal conductance of the heterostructure is facilitated by the high degree of overlap in the phonon vibrational spectra. The findings offer novel design insights for efficient heat dissipation in micro- and nanoelectronic devices.

Carbon footprint of synthetic nitrogen under staple crops: A first cradle-to-grave analysis.

More than half of the world's population is nourished by crops fertilized with synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers. However, N fertilization is a major source of anthropogenic emissions, augmenting the carbon footprint (CF). To date, no global quantification of the CF induced by N fertilization of the main grain crops has been performed, and quantifications at the national scale have neglected the CO2 assimilated by plants. A first cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment was performed to quantify the CF of the N fertilizers' production, transportation, and application to the field and the uses of the produced biomass in livestock feed and human food, as well as biofuel production. We quantified the direct and indirect inventories emitted or sequestered by N fertilization of main grain crops: wheat, maize, and rice. Grain food produced with N fertilization had a net CF of 7.4 Gt CO2eq. in 2019 after excluding the assimilated C in plant biomass, which accounted for a quarter of the total CF. The cradle (fertilizer production and transportation), gate (fertilizer application, and soil and plant systems), and grave (feed, food, biofuel, and losses) stages contributed to the CF by 2%, 11%, and 87%, respectively. Although Asia was the top grain producer, North America contributed 38% of the CF due to the greatest CF of the grave stage (2.5 Gt CO2eq.). The CF of grain crops will increase to 21.2 Gt CO2eq. in 2100, driven by the rise in N fertilization to meet the growing food demand without actions to stop the decline in N use efficiency. To meet the targets of climate change, we introduced an ambitious mitigation strategy, including the improvement of N agronomic efficiency (6% average target for the three crops) and manufacturing technology, reducing food losses, and global conversion to healthy diets, whereby the CF can be reduced to 5.6 Gt CO2eq. in 2100.

Combined cardiac, lung, and diaphragm ultrasound for predicting weaning failure during spontaneous breathing trial.

BACKGROUND: Weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is a complex and challenging process that involves multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. A combined ultrasound evaluation of the heart, lungs, and diaphragm during the weaning phase can help to identify risk factors and underlying mechanisms for weaning failure. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of lung ultrasound (LUS), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and diaphragm ultrasound for predicting weaning failure in critically ill patients. METHODS: Patients undergoing invasive MV for > 48 h and who were readied for their first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) were studied. Patients were scheduled for a 2-h SBT using low-level pressure support ventilation. LUS and TTE were performed prospectively before and 30 min after starting the SBT, and diaphragm ultrasound was only performed 30 min after starting the SBT. Weaning failure was defined as failure of SBT, re-intubation, or non-invasive ventilation within 48 h. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients were included, of whom 15 experienced weaning failure. During the SBT, the global, anterior, and antero-lateral LUS scores were higher in the failed group than in the successful group. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves for diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) and global and antero-lateral LUS scores during the SBT to predict weaning failure were 0.678, 0.719, and 0.721, respectively. There was no correlation between the LUS scores and the average E/e' ratio during the SBT. Multivariate analysis identified antero-lateral LUS score > 7 and DTF < 31% during the SBT as independent predictors of weaning failure. CONCLUSION: LUS and diaphragm ultrasound can help to predict weaning failure in patients undergoing an SBT with low-level pressure support. An antero-lateral LUS score > 7 and DTF < 31% during the SBT were associated with weaning failure.

Pyroelectric Photoconductive Diode for Highly Sensitive and Fast DUV Detection.

Detecting high-energy photons from the deep ultraviolet (DUV) to X-rays is vital in security, medicine, industry, and science. Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors exhibit great potential for detecting high-energy photons. However, the implementation of highly sensitive and high-speed detectors based on WBG semiconductors has been a huge challenge due to the inevitable deep level traps and the lack of appropriate device structure engineering. Here, a sensitive and fast pyroelectric photoconductive diode (PPD), which couples the interface pyroelectric effect with the photoconductive effect based on tailored polycrystal Ga-rich GaOx (PGR-GaOx) Schottky photodiode, is first proposed. The PPD device exhibits ultrahigh detection performance for DUV and X-ray light. The responsivity for DUV light and sensitivity for X-ray are up to 104 A W-1 and 105 µC Gyair -1 cm-2, respectively. Especially, the interface pyroelectric effect induced by polar symmetry in the depletion region of the PGR-GaOx can significantly improve the response speed of the device by 105 times. Furthermore, the potential of the device is demonstrated for imaging enhancement systems with low power consumption and high sensitivity. This work fully excavates the potential of the pyroelectric effect for detectors and provides a novel design strategy to achieve sensitive and high-speed detectors.

Nighttime color constancy using robust gray pixels.

Color constancy is a basic step for achieving stable color perception in both biological visual systems and the image signal processing (ISP) pipeline of cameras. So far, there have been numerous computational models of color constancy that focus on scenes under normal light conditions but are less concerned with nighttime scenes. Compared with daytime scenes, nighttime scenes usually suffer from relatively higher-level noise and insufficient lighting, which usually degrade the performance of color constancy methods designed for scenes under normal light. In addition, there is a lack of nighttime color constancy datasets, limiting the development of relevant methods. In this paper, based on the gray-pixel-based color constancy methods, we propose a robust gray pixel (RGP) detection method by carefully designing the computation of illuminant-invariant measures (IIMs) from a given color-biased nighttime image. In addition, to evaluate the proposed method, a new dataset that contains 513 nighttime images and corresponding ground-truth illuminants was collected. We believe this dataset is a useful supplement to the field of color constancy. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed method achieves superior performance to statistics-based methods. In addition, the proposed method was also compared with recent deep-learning methods for nighttime color constancy, and the results show the method's advantages in cross-validation among different datasets.

Is tumor necrosis factor-α monoclonal therapy with proactive therapeutic drug monitoring optimized for inflammatory bowel disease? Network meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) monoclonal antibody therapy [adalimumab (ADA) and infliximab (IFX)] with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), which has been proposed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, are still controversial. AIM: To determine the efficacy and safety of anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody therapy with proactive TDM in patients with IBD and to determine which subtype of IBD patients is most suitable for proactive TDM interventions. METHODS: As of July 2023, we searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to compare anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody therapy with proactive TDM with therapy with reactive TDM or empiric therapy. Pairwise and network meta-analyses were used to determine the IBD patient subtype that achieved clinical remission and to determine the need for surgery. RESULTS: This systematic review and meta-analysis yielded 13 studies after exclusion, and the baseline indicators were balanced. We found a significant increase in the number of patients who achieved clinical remission in the ADA [odds ratio (OR) = 1.416, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.196-1.676] and RCT (OR = 1.393, 95%CI: 1.182-1.641) subgroups and a significant decrease in the number of patients who needed surgery in the proactive vs reactive (OR = 0.237, 95%CI: 0.101-0.558) and IFX + ADA (OR = 0.137, 95%CI: 0.032-0.588) subgroups, and the overall risk of adverse events was reduced (OR = 0.579, 95%CI: 0.391-0.858) according to the pairwise meta-analysis. Moreover, the network meta-analysis results suggested that patients with IBD treated with ADA (OR = 1.39, 95%CI: 1.19-1.63) were more likely to undergo TDM, especially in comparison with patients with reactive TDM (OR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.07-1.77). CONCLUSION: Proactive TDM is more suitable for IBD patients treated with ADA and has obvious advantages over reactive TDM. We recommend proactive TDM in IBD patients who are treated with ADA.

Hyperoside induces cell cycle arrest and suppresses tumorigenesis in bladder cancer through the interaction of EGFR-Ras and Fas signaling pathways.

Hyperoside is a natural flavonol glycoside widely found in plants and has been reported to have a variety of pharmacological effects, including anticancer abilities. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that hyperoside inhibited the proliferation of bladder cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, hyperoside could not only induce cell cycle arrest, but also induce apoptosis of a few bladder cancer cells. Quantitative proteomics, bioinformatics analysis and Western blotting confirmed that hyperoside induced the overexpression of EGFR, Ras and Fas proteins, which affects a variety of synergistic and antagonistic downstream signaling pathways, including MAPKs and Akt, ultimately contributing to its anticancer effects in bladder cancer cells. This study reveals that hyperoside could be a promising therapeutic strategy for the prevention of bladder cancer.
