RESUMO

Soil organic nitrogen (N) mineralization not only supports ecosystem productivity but also weakens carbon and N accumulation in soils. Recalcitrant (mainly mineral-associated organic matter) and labile (mainly particulate organic matter) organic materials differ dramatically in nature. Yet, the patterns and drivers of recalcitrant (MNrec) and labile (MNlab) organic N mineralization rates and their consequences on ecosystem N retention are still unclear. By collecting MNrec (299 observations) and MNlab (299 observations) from 57 15N tracing studies, we found that soil pH and total N were the master factors controlling MNrec and MNlab, respectively. This was consistent with the significantly higher rates of MNrec in alkaline soils and of MNlab in natural ecosystems. Interestingly, our analysis revealed that MNrec directly stimulated microbial N immobilization and plant N uptake, while MNlab stimulated the soil gross autotrophic nitrification which discouraged ammonium immobilization and accelerated nitrate production. We also noted that MNrec was more efficient at lower precipitation and higher temperatures due to increased soil pH. In contrast, MNlab was more efficient at higher precipitation and lower temperatures due to increased soil total N. Overall, we suggest that increasing MNrec may lead to a conservative N cycle, improving the ecosystem services and functions, while increasing MNlab may stimulate the potential risk of soil N loss.

RESUMO

Activating apoptosis has long been viewed as an anti-cancer process, but recently increasing evidence has accumulated that induction of ferroptosis has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer therapeutics. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is one of the pivotal factors regulating ferroptosis that targeted inhibition or degradation of GPX4 could effectively trigger ferroptosis. In this study, a series of ML162-quinone conjugates were constructed by using pharmacophore hybridization and bioisosterism strategies, with the aim of obtaining more active anticancer agents via the ferroptosis and apoptosis dual cell death processes. Of these compounds, GIC-20 was identified as the most active one that exhibited promising anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo via ferroptosis and apoptosis dual-targeting processes, without obvious toxicity compared with ML162. On one hand, GIC-20 could trigger ferroptosis in cells by inducing intracellular lipid peroxide and ROS accumulation, and destroying mitochondrial structure. In addition to GPX4 inhibition, GIC-20 can also trigger ferroptosis via proteasomal-mediated degradation of GPX4, suggesting GIC-20 may function as a molecule glue degrader. On the other hand, GIC-20 can also induce apoptosis via upregulating the level of apoptotic protein Bax and downregulating the level of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in HT1080 cells. Furthermore, GIC-20 also enhanced the sensitivity of resistant MIA-PaCa-2-AMG510R cells to AMG510, suggesting the great potential of GIC-20 in overcoming the acquired resistance of KRASG12C inhibitors. Overall, GIC-20 represents a novel dual ferroptosis/apoptosis inducer warranting further development for cancer therapeutics and overcoming drug resistance.

RESUMO

The development of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) is hindered by several problems, including Zn dendrite/corrosion, side reactions, and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, trisodium citrate (NaCit) additive is introduced into the ZnSO4 electrolyte to guide the preferred Zn(002) crystal plane growth, while the Cit- is preferentially adsorbed on the active sites to suppress the HER and Zn corrosion, thus achieving uniform Zn deposition without dendrites. The stable cycle life can reach 2000 h at 0.25 mA cm-2/0.05 mAh cm-2. The density functional theory simulations further indicate that the parallely placed Cit- has the lowest adsorption energy (-6.617 eV); it can form a weak interaction with Zn metal to promote the growth of (002) crystal planes. Furthermore, the assembled Zn//polyaniline full cell and pouch cell both exhibit good rate performance and long cycling stability. The complexation and dissolubilization effects of the NaCit additive provide a means for designing high-performance AZIBs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics of retracted oncology papers from Chinese scholars and the reasons for retraction. METHODS: Data on retracted oncology papers from Chinese scholars published from 2013 to 2022 were retrieved from the Retraction Watch database. The retraction number and annual distribution, article types, reasons for retraction, retraction time delay, publishers, and journal characteristics of the retracted papers were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 2695 oncology papers from Chinese scholars published from 2013 to 2022 had been retracted. The majority of these papers were published from 2017 to 2020. In terms of article type, 2538 of the retracted papers were research articles, accounting for 94.17% of the total number of retracted papers. The main reasons for retraction were data, result, and image problems, duplicate publication, paper mills, author- and third-party-related reasons, plagiarism, false reviews, and method errors. The retraction time delay for the retracted papers ranged from 0 to 3582 days (median, 826 days). The retractions mainly occurred within the first 4 years after publication. A total of 77 publishers were involved in the retracted papers. In terms of journal distribution, 394 journals were involved in the retracted papers, of which 368 (93.40%) were included in the SCI database. There were 243 journals with an impact factor of <5 (66.03%). CONCLUSION: In the field of oncology, the annual distribution of retracted papers from Chinese scholars exhibited first an increasing and subsequently a decreasing trend, reaching a peak in 2019, indicating an improvement in the status of retraction after 2021. The main type of the retracted papers was research article, and the main reason for retraction was academic misconduct. The retractions were mainly concentrated in several major publishers and periodicals in Europe and the United States. Most of the journals had low-impact factors.

RESUMO

Objective: There is a lack of literature about the joint effects of activities of daily living (ADL) limitation and cognitive impairment on depression. This study aimed to estimate the association of ADL limitation and cognitive impairment with depression among Chinese older adults aged 65 and above and to test their interaction on both additive and multiplicative scales. Methods: Data was drawn from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), including 11,025 eligible participants. Logistic regression models were fitted, and both multiplicative and additive interactions for ADL limitation and cognitive impairment were tested. Results: A total of 3,019(27.4%) participants reported depressive symptoms. After controlling for potential confounding factors, ADL limitation and cognitive impairment were both positively associated with depression. The adjusted additive interaction of basic and instrumental activities of daily living limitation were 2.47 (95%CI:1.92-3.19) and 3.67 (95%CI:2.88-4.66), respectively, but the multiplicative interaction items were both insignificant. Conclusion: ADL limitation and cognitive impairment were both risk factors for depression among Chinese older adults. Moreover, the significant interaction of ADL limitation and cognitive impairment was found in the additive model, suggesting that improving ADL may be helpful in reducing the risk of depression among older people with cognitive impairment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) and survivors are at high risk for numerous negative effects including decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In order to understand the association between HM and QOL, we conducted this meta-analysis to systematically compare QOL between pediatric HM patients and survivors and controls. METHOD: The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched. Data were analyzed using the random-effects model. RESULTS: Of 6586 unique articles identified, 30 were included in this meta-analysis. Studies described 12 different HRQOL tools. Different QOL measures varied in their association with quality of life. When compared with Non-HM group, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) has a moderate effect size (standard mean difference, SMD = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.32, 0.68; P < 0.001). When compared with health controls, it has a large effect size (SMD = -1.00, 95% CI: -1.47, -0.53; P < 0.001). In addition, Health utilities index mark (HUI), and the Pediatric Oncology Quality of Life Scale (POQOLS) have a large (SMD = -0.81, 95% CI: -1.29, -0.33; P = 0.001) and a small (SMD = -0.10, 95% CI: -0.42, 0.22; P = 0.534) effect sizes when comparing overall controls. CONCLUSION: Pediatric HM patients and survivors had lower QOL compared with healthy controls and higher QOL compared with Non-HM controls in most domains. Considering the negative impact of poor QOL on daily life and functional outcomes, future research should focus on proposing effective measures to improve QOL of this population.

RESUMO

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a fundamental regulatory mechanism in cells, vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis, compiling signaling transduction, and determining cell fates. These biological processes require the coordinated signal cascades of UPS members, including ubiquitin ligases, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, deubiquitinases, and proteasomes, to ubiquitination and de-ubiquitination on substrates. Recent studies indicate that ubiquitination code rewriting is particularly prominent in pancreatic cancer. High frequency mutation or aberrant hyperexpression of UPS members dysregulates ferroptosis, tumor microenvironment, and metabolic rewiring processes and contribute to tumor growth, metastasis, immune evasion, and acquired drug resistance. We conduct an in-depth overview of ubiquitination process in pancreatic cancer, highlighting the role of ubiquitin code in tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressor pathways. Furthermore, we review current UPS modulators and analyze the potential of UPS modulators as cancer therapy.

RESUMO

Recently, it has been reported that oral probiotics improve the apparent digestibility of nitrogen in weaned piglets; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. A total of 12 crossbred piglets (Yorkshire × Landrace; 28 days old) were randomly divided into two groups. The control (Con) group was fed with a basic diet + Luria-Bertani (LB; sterile; 10 mL), whereas the subject (Sub) group was fed with a basic diet + B. subtilis JATP-3 (1 × 109 CFU/mL; 10 mL). The results showed that feeding B. subtilis JATP-3 increased the final body weight and nitrogen deposition rate of weaned piglets (P < 0.05); while the daily weight gain showed an upward trend (P < 0.1). The abundance of Pedicoccus, Collinella, Turiciator, Veillonella, Clostridium, and Escherichia were significantly increased in the jejunum (P < 0.05). The abundance of Olsenella and Pediococcus were significantly increased in the ileum (P < 0.05). The metabolomics analysis showed that the levels of l-lactic acid and Alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) in portal vein plasma were significantly increased (P < 0.05). In addition, the content of AKG in muscle and liver increased significantly (P < 0.01). The metagenomics analysis showed that Veillonella encoded the functional genes of 2-oxoglutarate synthase and promoted AKG production. The protein expression of eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1) phosphorylated in the skeletal muscle increased (P < 0.05). In summary, B. subtilis JATP-3 promotes dietary nitrogen metabolism and skeletal muscle synthesis by modulating the intestinal microbiota and its metabolites, in which AKG may be one of the main mediators of the therapeutic effects of B. subtilis JATP-3.

RESUMO

In December 2022, the Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) became dominant in China due to its high infectivity and lower mortality rate. The risk of critical illness and mortality among patients with hematologic malignancies who contracted SARS-CoV-2 was particularly high. The aim of this study was to draft a consensus to facilitate effective treatments for these patients based on the type and severity of the disease. Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in China, a steering committee consisting of experienced hematologists was formed by the Specialized Committee of Oncology and Microecology of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association. The expert group drafted a consensus on the management and intervention measures for different types of hematologic malignancies based on the clinical characteristics of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, along with relevant guidelines and literature. The expert group drafted independent recommendations on several important aspects based on the epidemiology of the Omicron variant in China and the unique vulnerability of patients with hematologic malignancies. These included prophylactic vaccinations for those with hematologic malignancies, the use of plasma from blood donors who recovered from the novel coronavirus infection, the establishment of negative pressure wards, the use of steady-state mobilization of peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells, the provision of psychological support for patients and medical staff, and a focus on maintaining a healthy intestinal microecology.

RESUMO

Introduction: Climate changes pose a significant threat to crop adaptation and production. Dissecting the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity and uncovering the responsiveness of regulatory genes to environmental factors can significantly contribute to the improvement of climate- resilience in crops. Methods: We established a BC1F3:4 population using the elite inbred lines Zheng58 and PH4CV and evaluated plant height (PH) across four environments characterized by substantial variations in environmental factors. Then, we quantified the correlation between the environmental mean of PH (the mean performance in each environment) and the environmental parameters within a specific growth window. Furthermore, we performed GWAS analysis of phenotypic plasticity, and identified QTLs and candidate gene that respond to key environment index. After that, we constructed the coexpression network involving the candidate gene, and performed selective sweep analysis of the candidate gene. Results: We found that the environmental parameters demonstrated substantial variation across the environments, and genotype by environment interaction contributed to the variations of PH. Then, we identified PTT(35-48) (PTT is the abbreviation for photothermal units), the mean PTT from 35 to 48 days after planting, as the pivotal environmental index that closely correlated with environmental mean of PH. Leveraging the slopes of the response of PH to both the environmental mean and PTT(35-48), we successfully pinpointed QTLs for phenotypic plasticity on chromosomes 1 and 2. Notably, the PH4CV genotypes at these two QTLs exhibited positive contributions to phenotypic plasticity. Furthermore, our analysis demonstrated a direct correlation between the additive effects of each QTL and PTT(35-48). By analyzing transcriptome data of the parental lines in two environments, we found that the 1009 genes responding to PTT(35-48) were enriched in the biological processes related to environmental sensitivity. BBX6 was the prime candidate gene among the 13 genes in the two QTL regions. The coexpression network of BBX6 contained other genes related to flowering time and photoperiod sensitivity. Our investigation, including selective sweep analysis and genetic differentiation analysis, suggested that BBX6 underwent selection during maize domestication. Discussion: Th is research substantially advances our understanding of critical environmental factors influencing maize adaptation while simultaneously provides an invaluable gene resource for the development of climate-resilient maize hybrid varieties.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to explore the internal pathway of the association between activities of daily living and subjective well-being among Chinese older adults using a large and representative sample. BACKGROUND: There is still a lack of systematic investigation into the association between activities of daily living and subjective well-being among Chinese older adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 10 578 participants from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. We applied multiple linear regression analysis and Spearman correlation analysis to examine the association between activities of daily living and subjective well-being and PROCESS macro to determine the mediating effect of leisure activities on the relationship between them. RESULTS: The mean total score of subjective well-being was 30.5 ± 4.4. The prevalence of basic activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living limitations was 18.0% and 60.8%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that activities of daily living score were negatively correlated with subjective well-being. Leisure activities were positively correlated with subjective well-being. The effect of instrumental activities of daily living on subjective well-being was partially mediated by leisure activities and leisure activities completely mediated the association between basic activities of daily living and subjective well-being. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of instrumental activities of daily living on subjective well-being was partially mediated by leisure activities and leisure activities completely mediated the association between basic activities of daily living and subjective well-being.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Congenital birth defects are the main source of disease burden among children under 5 years old in China. This study aims to compare the trends in disease burden of different congenital birth defects among Chinese children under 5 years old from 1990 to 2019, and to provide a scientific basis for strengthening the comprehensive prevention and control of birth defects. METHODS: Based on data from the Global Burden Disease (GBD) in 2019, the incidence mortality rate, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate of congenital birth defects among Chinese children under 5 years old from 1990 to 2019 were selected as evaluation indicators. The Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trends in disease burden of different types with congenital birth defects over three decades. The study also compared the differences in disease burden of congenital birth defects among children under 5 years old by gender. RESULTS: Compared to 1990, the DALYs rates of congenital heart anomalies (1 931.91/100 000), digestive congenital anomalies (364.63/100 000), neural tube defects (277.20/100 000), congenital musculoskeletal and limb anomalies (133.33/100 000), and Down syndrome (128.22/100 000) in children under 5 years old in China in 2019 were decreased 70.78%, 71.61%, 86.21%, 36.84% and 73.65%, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, the mortality rates and DALYs rates of different congenital birth defects showed an overall downward trend, but the incidence of digestive congenital anomalies and Down syndrome showed an upward trend after 2005 and 2001, respectively. Except for congenital musculoskeletal and limb anomalies, incidence of the remaining categories of birth defects were higher in boys than that in girls. CONCLUSIONS: The disease burden of congenital birth defects in children under 5 years old in China is decreased substantially from 1990 to 2019, but the burden of congenital heart anomalies is still serious and the incidence of some birth defect diseases is on the rise, and it is still crucial to strengthen the prevention and treatment for birth defects in children and propose targeted measures according to their gender characteristics.

RESUMO

When cooking with biomass and fossil fuels, their incomplete burning can lead to air pollution, which can trigger pernicious effects on people's health, especially among the elderly, who are more vulnerable to toxic and harmful environmental damage. This study explored the association between different cooking fuel types and the risk of cancer and all-cause mortality among seniors constructing Cox regression models. Data were obtained by linking waves of 6, 7, and 8 of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, which included a total of 7269 participants who were 65 years old and over. Cooking fuels were categorized as either biomass, fossil, or clean fuels. And the effects of switching cooking fuels on death risk were also investigated using Cox regression models. The results indicate that, compared with the users of clean fuels, individuals using biomass or fossil fuels were at a greater death risk for cancer [HR (95% CI): biomass, 1.13 (1.05-1.20); fossil, 1.16 (1.06-1.25)] and all causes [HR (95% CI): biomass, 1.29 (1.16-1.42); fossil, 1.32 (1.22-1.50)]. Furthermore, compared with sustained users of biomass fuels, individuals converting from biomass to clean fuels significantly reduced death risk for cancer [HR (95% CI): 0.81 (0.72-0.95)] and all causes [HR (95% CI): 0.76 (0.64-0.93)]. Similarly, all-cause death risk [HR (95% CI): 0.77 (0.62-0.93)] was noticeably reduced among these participants converting from fossil to clean fuels than persistent users of fossil fuels. Subgroup analyses revealed that males had a greater cancer and all-cause death risk when exposed to unclean fuels. These findings can inform the development of policies and the implementation of measures related to cooking fuel use to promote the health of older people and reduce the burden of disease on society.

RESUMO

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most frequent human cancer and the world's third most significant cause of cancer mortality. HCC treatment has recently improved, but its mortality continues to increase worldwide due to its extremely complicated and heterogeneous genetic abnormalities. After nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), the third gas signaling molecule discovered is hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which has long been thought to be a toxic gas. However, numerous studies have proven that H2S plays many pathophysiological roles in mammals. Endogenous or exogenous H2S can decrease cell proliferation, promote apoptosis, block cell cycle, invasion and migration through various cellular signaling pathways. This review analyzes and discusses the recent literature on the function and molecular mechanism of H2S and H2S donors in HCC, so as to provide convenience for the scientific research and clinical application of H2S in the treatment of liver cancer.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the association between depression and family support among Chinese children and adolescents and to investigate whether loneliness could mediate this relationship. METHODS: There were 2755 children and adolescents aged 18 and below from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) that participated in our study. Depression in children and adolescents was assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD). Binary logistic regression combined with mediation analysis was used to examine the association between family support and depression and the mediating effect of loneliness on this relationship. RESULTS: Of the 2755 children and adolescents, 848 (30.8 %) reported feeling lonely and 310 (11.3 %) reported feeling depressed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with children and adolescents with family support, children and adolescents without family support had a higher risk of loneliness (odds ratio (OR) = 1.668, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.318-2.111) and depression (odds ratio (OR) = 2.252, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.669-3.039). Mediation analysis revealed that loneliness played a partial mediating role in the association between family support and depression (ß = -0.109, P < 0.001), and the mediation proportion was 38.11 %. CONCLUSION: Family support affects depression directly and indirectly through loneliness. The results suggest that parents should provide more support to children and adolescents to reduce the risk of loneliness and underlying depression during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe the prevalence and risk factors of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and to explore nationality difference in Chinese. METHODS: The Yunnan Minority Eye Study was conducted in a rural multiethnic area in Yunnan province and included 6546 participants aged over 50 years. PACG was diagnosed based on International Society of Geographical and Epidemiologic Ophthalmology criteria by experienced ophthalmologists. Multivariate regression modelling was conducted to examine risk factors for PACG. Principal component analyis (PCA) was performed to evaluate the effects of ethnicity on PACG. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of PACG was 0.7% (95% CIs: 0.5% to 0.9%). PCA indicated that ethnicity is significantly related to the presence of PACG (p<0.001) after controlling for other risk factors. In addition, higher PACG prevalence was also correlated with older age (60-69 years group (OR: 3.47; 95% CI: 1.11 to 10.84; p<0.05) and 70-79 years group (OR: 4.71; 95% CI: 1.40 to 15.86; p<0.05) as compared with 50-59 years group), higher intraocular pressures (OR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.36; p<0.001), shorter axial lengths (OR: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.32 to 0.56; p<0.001) and thinner central corneal thicknesses (OR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.81 to 0.99; p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This multiethnic study on Chinese adults living in the same geographical location indicated that ethnicity is a significant risk factor for PACG. However, there were still some of the effects of ethnic differences on the prevalence of PACG that could not be explained and further studies should take culture and lifestyle factors into account.

RESUMO

Global warming in the twenty-first century has gradually made high temperatures a major threat to the global population. Health problems associated with extreme temperatures have become a growing public health concern worldwide. This study aimed to estimate road injuries stratified by sex, age, geographic location, and sociodemographic status attribute to high, low, and non-optimal temperatures in 21 regional and global. We used the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study Results Tool to examine the age-standardized death rates (ASDR) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to road injuries in 2019 by Joinpoint regression. In addition, we reported high, low, and non-optimal temperature exposures for road injuries across different groups by gender, age, region, and disease. Moreover, we examined temporal trends in the burden of road disease caused by high, low, and non-optimum temperatures from 1990 to 2019. Trend analyzes were conducted for five sociodemographic index (SDI) regions. Globally, both ASDR and DALY declined from 1990 to 2019, with average annual percent change (AAPC) values of - 1.3% and - 1.2%, respectively. In 2019, the indicators (death and DALYs) steadily declined, while SDI quintile increased in most regions. Road injuries related to death and DALYs rate attributed to high temperatures were 0.17 and 8.50, respectively, in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, DALYs for road injuries caused by low temperatures showed the most significant upward trend in most regions, especially in low-latitude countries. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the road injury burden caused by high, low, and non-optimum temperatures, which remains high in regions with low SDI. Therefore, special attention should be paid to road injuries in poor countries or in areas with extreme temperatures.
