RESUMEN

Precise early diagnosis and staging are conducive to improving the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC) patients. However, due to intrusive inspections and limited sensitivity, the prevailing diagnostic methods impede precisely large-scale screening. In this work, we reported a high-throughput serum metabolic patterns (SMP) screening strategy based on covalent organic frameworks-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (hf-COFsLDI-MS) for early diagnosis and staging of CRC and GC. Notably, 473 high-quality SMP were extracted without any tedious sample pretreatment and coupled with multiple machine learning algorithms; the area under the curve (AUC) value is 0.938 with 96.9% sensitivity for early CRC diagnosis, and the AUC value is 0.974 with 100% sensitivity for early GC diagnosis. Besides, the discrimination of CRC and GC is accomplished with an AUC value of 0.966 for the validation set. Also, the screened-out features were identified by MS/MS experiments, and 8 metabolites were identified as the biomarkers for CRC and GC. Finally, the corresponding disordered metabolic pathways were revealed, and the staging of CRC and GC was completed. This work provides an alternative high-throughput screening strategy for CRC and GC and highlights the potential of metabolic molecular diagnosis in clinical applications.

RESUMEN

To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of group A rotavirus (RVA) diarrhea in Beijing between 2019 and 2022 and evaluate the effectiveness of the RV5 vaccine. Stool specimens were collected from patients with acute diarrhea, and RVA was detected and genotyped. The whole genome of RVA was sequenced by fragment amplification and Sanger sequencing. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the characteristics of RVA diarrhea. Test-negative design was used to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the RV5. Compared with 2011-2018, RVA-positive rates in patients with acute diarrhea under 5 years of age and adults decreased significantly between 2019 and 2022, to 9.45% (249/634) and 3.66% (220/6016), respectively. The predominant genotype of RVA had changed from G9-VIP[8]-III between 2019 and 2021 to G8-VP[8]-III in 2022, and P[8] sequences from G8-VP[8]-III strains formed a new branch called P[8]-IIIb. The complete genotype of G8-VP[8]-III was G8-P[8]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2. The VE of 3 doses of RV5 was 90.4% (95% CI: 28.8%-98.7%) against RVA diarrhea. The prevalence of RVA decreased in Beijing between 2019 and 2022, and the predominant genotype changed to G8P[8], which may be related to RV5 vaccination. Continuous surveillance is necessary to evaluate vaccine effectiveness and improve vaccine design.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive cancer with limited therapeutic options. Hypoxia is a common feature of the tumor microenvironment that reportedly promotes tumorigenesis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of regulatory molecules with diverse functions in cancer biology. This study aimed to identify hypoxia-induced lncRNAs associated with HCC and evaluate their potential as prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers. METHODS: We employed microarray and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data to identify hypoxia-induced lncRNAs in HCC. Subsequently, we focused on CTD-2510F5.4, a candidate lncRNA, and predicted its functional roles in HCC using Gene Ontology (GO) and Guilt-by-Association (GBA) analyses. We validated its expression under hypoxia in Huh7 and HepG2 cells using RT-PCR. Functional assays, including CCK8, wound-healing, and transwell assays, were performed to assess the effects of CTD-2510F5.4 overexpression on HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis potential. Furthermore, we investigated the association between CTD-2510F5.4 expression and patient prognosis, tumor mutation signature, immune microenvironment characteristics, and therapeutic response to different treatment modalities. RESULTS: Our data demonstrated a significant upregulation of CTD-2510F5.4 expression in response to hypoxia. Functional enrichment analyses revealed the involvement of CTD-2510F5.4 in cell cycle regulation, E2F targets, G2M checkpoint control, and MYC signaling pathways. Functionally, CTD-2510F5.4 overexpression promoted HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Patients with high CTD-2510F5.4 expression exhibited a worse prognosis, a higher prevalence of TP53 mutations, increased infiltration by immunosuppressive regulatory T cells, elevated expression of immune checkpoint molecules, and higher TIDE scores indicative of immune dysfunction and exclusion. Notably, patients with low CTD-2510F5.4 expression displayed greater sensitivity to immunotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy, while those with high expression responded better to chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that CTD-2510F5.4 plays a critical role in HCC progression and immune modulation. Its potential as a prognostic biomarker and a predictor of therapeutic response warrants further investigation for personalized treatment strategies in HCC patients.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this study was to screen differentially expressed genes in PCOS using gene chip data and investigate the biological functions of these DEGs in PCOS. Additionally, the study aimed to analyze the potential clinical significance of these genes using clinical data. In this study, we first screened the DEGs related to PCOS by using the gene chip data (GSE5090) from GEO database. Target gene prediction software was used to predict the target genes for these DEGs, and their functional enrichment was analysed. Subsequently, the STRING online tool and Cytoscape software were utilized to identify key genes by constructing protein-protein interaction networks (PPI). In the analysis of the GSE5090 dataset, seventeen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these DEGs are predominantly associated with biological functions related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Moreover, the tissue-specific expression analysis highlighted immune system markers, with a notable difference observed in 18 of these markers, accounting for 20.5% of the total. By constructing PPI networks and key gene regulatory networks, a total of three genes (RPL13, LEP, and ANXA1) were identified as key genes. In addition, the column-line graphical model performed well in predicting the risk of PCOS. Using ROC curves, the model proved to be effective in diagnosis. This study represents the first application of a bioinformatics approach to identify and confirm high expression levels of RPL13, LEP, and ANXA1 in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). These key genes-RPL13, LEP, and ANXA1-may present viable targets for therapeutic interventions in PCOS, underscoring their potential clinical importance.

RESUMEN

Pedestrian tracking in surveillance videos is crucial and challenging for precise personnel management. Due to the limited coverage of a single video, the integration of multiple surveillance videos is necessary in practical applications. In the realm of pedestrian management using multiple surveillance videos, continuous pedestrian tracking is quite important. However, prevailing cross-video pedestrian matching methods mainly rely on the appearance features of pedestrians, resulting in low matching accuracy and poor tracking robustness. To address these shortcomings, this paper presents a cross-video pedestrian tracking algorithm, which introduces spatial information. The proposed algorithm introduces the coordinate features of pedestrians in different videos and a linear weighting strategy focusing on the overlapping view of the tracking process. The experimental results show that, compared to traditional methods, the method in this paper improves the success rate of target pedestrian matching and enhances the robustness of continuous pedestrian tracking. This study provides a viable reference for pedestrian tracking and crowd management in video applications.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial pathological process that contributes to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and research indicates that factors present in the vitreous that target cells play pivotal roles in regulating EMT. Experimental studies have confirmed that rabbit vitreous (RV) promotes EMT in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 has been implicated in EMT in various diseases. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the involvement of lncRNA MALAT1 in vitreous-induced EMT in RPE cells. METHODS: MALAT1 was knocked down in ARPE-19 cells by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) transfection. Reverse transcription PCR (RT‒PCR) was used to evaluate MALAT1 expression, and Western blotting analysis was used to measure the expression of EMT-related proteins. Wound-healing, Transwell, and cell contraction assays were conducted to assess cell migration, invasion, and contraction, respectively. Additionally, cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, and cytoskeletal changes were examined by immunofluorescence. RESULTS: MALAT1 expression was significantly increased in ARPE-19 cells cultured with RV. Silencing MALAT1 effectively suppressed EMT and downregulated the associated factors snail1 and E-cadherin. Furthermore, silencing MALAT1 inhibited the RV-induced migration, invasion, proliferation, and contraction of ARPE-19 cells. Silencing MALAT1 also decreased RV-induced AKT and P53 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, lncRNA MALAT1 participates in regulating vitreous-induced EMT in human RPE cells; these results provide new insight into the pathogenesis of PVR and offer a potential direction for the development of antiproliferative drugs.

RESUMEN

A photo- and electro-thermal film can convert sunlight and electricity into heat to solve icing problems. Combination of them provides an efficient strategy for all-day anti-/de-icing. However, only opaque surfaces have been reported, due to the mutual exclusiveness between photon absorption and transmission. Herein, a highly transparent and scalable solution-processed photo-electro-thermal film is reported, which exhibits an ultra-broadband selective spectrum to separate the visible light from sunlight and a countertrend suppress of emission in longer wavelength. It absorbs ≈ 85% of invisible sunlight (ultraviolet and near-infrared) for light-heat conversion, meanwhile maintains luminous transmittance > 70%. The reflection of mid-infrared leads to low emissivity (0.41), which further preserves heat on the surface for anti-/de-icing purpose. This ultra-broadband selectivity enables temperature elevation > 40 °C under 1-sun illumination and the mutual support between photo-thermal and electro-thermal effects contributes to > 50% saving of electrical consumption under weak solar exposure (0.4-sun) for maintaining unfrozen surfaces at -35 °C environment. The reverberation from photo-electro-thermal and super-hydrophobic effects illustrates a lubricating removal of grown ice in short time (< 120 s). The self-cleaning ability and the durability under mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal stresses render the film stable for long-term usage in all-day anti-/de-icing applications.

RESUMEN

New norovirus (NoV) variants emerge often leading to increased acute gastroenteritis outbreaks and outpatient visits. However, these increases are rarely quantified. Between September 2011 and August 2018, we included a total of 133 131 acute diarrhoea cases in 11 enteric disease outpatient clinics which were open all year round in Beijing. Over the same period, the etiology surveillance for acute diarrhoea was conducted, a total of 13 139 specimens were collected and tested, and 16.84% (2213/13 139) of all specimens were NoV-positive. The partial VP1 genes were successfully sequenced in 965 NoV strains. GII.4 Sydney, GII.17, and GII.2 predominated in 2012-2013, 2014-2015, and 2016-2017, respectively. We estimated the excess NoV-associated acute diarrhoea cases using the adjusted Serfling regression model, and three excess periods were found, corresponding to the predominance periods of GII.4 Sydney, GII.17 and GII.2, respectively, represented increases of 180.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 115.0%-246.0%), 114.7% (95% CI: 66.4%-163.1%) and 152.6% (95% CI: 100.2%-205.0%), compared with the baseline level. New NoV variants often caused an excess in their first year of predominance, and the excess periods of NoV-associated acute diarrhoea cases coincided with the predominance periods of NoV variants.

RESUMEN

The transmissibility is a crucial feature for norovirus, yet its quantitative estimation has been limited. Our objective was to estimate the basic reproduction number (R0 ) of norovirus and investigate its variation characteristics. Norovirus outbreaks reported from September 2016 to August 2021 in Beijing were analyzed. The susceptible-infected-removed compartment model was established to estimate R0 . Linear regression models and logistic regression models were used to explore the factors affecting the transmissibility of norovirus. The overall median R0 of norovirus was estimated as 2.1 (interquartile range [IQR] 1.8-2.5), with 650 norovirus outbreaks. The transmissibility of norovirus varied by year, outbreak setting and genotype. The R0 of norovirus during September 2019 to August 2020 (median 2.1, IQR 1.8-2.4) and September 2020 to August 2021 (median 2.0, IQR 1.7-2.3) was lower than that of September 2016 to August 2017 (median 2.3, IQR 1.8-2.7) (ß = 0.94, p = 0.05; ß = 0.93, p = 0.008). The R0 of norovirus for all other settings was lower than that for kindergarten (median 2.4, IQR 2.0-2.9) (primary school: median 2.0, IQR 1.7-2.4, ß = 0.94, p = 0.001; secondary school: median 1.7, IQR 1.5-2.0, ß = 0.87, p < 0.001; college: median 1.7, IQR 1.5-1.8, ß = 0.89, p = 0.03; other closed settings: median 1.8, IQR 1.5-2.0, ß = 0.90, p = 0.004). GⅡ.2[P16] outbreaks had a median R0 of 2.2 (IQR 1.8-2.7), which was higher than that for GⅡ.6[P7] outbreaks (median 1.8, IQR: 1.8-2.0, odds ratio = 0.19, p = 0.03; GⅡ.2[P16] as reference) and mixed-genotype outbreaks (median 1.7, IQR: 1.5-1.8, ß = 0.92, p = 0.02; mixed-genotype as reference). In kindergartens and primary schools, norovirus shows increased transmissibility, emphasizing the vulnerable population and high-risk settings. Furthermore, the transmissibility of norovirus may change over time and with virus evolution, necessitating additional research to uncover the underlying mechanisms.

RESUMEN

Mpox is still spreading globally and is mostly reported to be transmitted by skin and mucosal contact. However, transmission through contact with fomites, contaminated objects, or surfaces has been reported in general population. Evaluation of the stability of mpox virus (MPXV) on different surfaces is important to minimize mpox transmission. In the study, the stability of MPXV on different kinds of commonly contacted surfaces was determined. MPXV was observed to have a surface-dependent stability pattern. Viable virus was detected on both glass and stainless steel for up to 5 days, and on plastic surfaces for up to 3 days. In contrast, no viable MPXV was detected on wooden board and cardboard, which are porous and water-absorbent surfaces, after 1 and 2 days of incubation, respectively. In addition, MPXV nucleic acids were more stable and showed better correlation with viral titers on stainless steel, plastic, and glass. The results indicate that fomite transmission of MPXV is plausible. Moreover, the stability of MPXV was highly surface-dependent and more stable on smooth surfaces, which could provide more information for minimizing the transmission of mpox and emphasize the significance of environmental disinfection in mpox prevention and control.
