RESUMO
BACKGROUND: A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the safety and efficacy of pericapsular nerve group block (PENGB) with other regional analgesia techniques in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for relevant research from inception to May, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PENGB with other regional analgesia techniques in patients undergoing THA were included. The primary outcome was resting pain scores at 6 h after surgery. The NMA was made by using Stata 15.1 software. Potential risk of bias was assessed by using CINeMA. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed on the primary outcome. RESULTS: A total of 11 RCTs including 766 patients were eligible for inclusion. For postoperative resting and movement pain scores within 24 h analysis, PENGB + periarticular local anesthetic infiltration (PLAI) was found to be significantly more effective than other treatments and its Surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was the lowest. Moreover, PENGB + PLAI was ranked the best in reducing opioid consumption within 24 h and the length of hospital stay. PENGB was found to have significantly lower incidence of quadriceps motor block and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). CONCLUSIONS: PENGB is more likely to reduce the incidence of quadriceps motor block and PONV in patients undergoing THA, but PENGB + PLAI is superior to other regional analgesia techniques (PLAI, PENGB, fascia iliaca compartment block, and quadratus lumborum block) in improving postoperative pain and shortening the length of hospital stay. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42024538421.
RESUMO
During initial stages of microbial invasion, the extracellular space (apoplast) of plant cells is a vital battleground between plants and pathogens. The oomycete plant pathogens secrete an array of apoplastic carbohydrate active enzymes, which are central molecules for understanding the complex plant-oomycete interactions. Among them, pectin acetylesterase (PAE) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of plant pathogens including bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Here, we demonstrated that Peronophythora litchii (syn. Phytophthora litchii) PlPAE5 suppresses litchi (Litchi chinensis) plant immunity by interacting with litchi lipid transfer protein 1 (LcLTP1). The LcLTP1-binding activity and virulence function of PlPAE5 depend on its PAE domain but not on its PAE activity. The high expression of LcLTP1 enhances plant resistance to oomycete and fungal pathogens, and this disease resistance depends on BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1-associated receptor kinase 1 (BAK1) and Suppressor of BIR1 (SOBIR1) in Nicotiana benthamiana. LcLTP1 activates the plant salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway, while PlPAE5 subverts the LcLTP1-mediated SA signaling pathway by destabilizing LcLTP1. Conclusively, this study reports a virulence mechanism of oomycete PAE suppressing plant LTP-mediated SA immune signaling and will be instrumental for boosting plant resistance breeding.

The clinical efficacy of ear endoscopic intervention in patients with congenital middle ear cholesteatoma (CMEC) is explored, and the relationship between the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS), phosphorylated protein kinase B (P-Akt), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α) and the degree of bone damage are analyzed. A total of 72 CMEC patients admitted to the otolaryngology department of our hospital from 2019 to January 2021 for surgical treatment are selected. According to the different intervention methods, the microscope group and the otolaryngology intervention group are established, respectively, with 36 patients in each group. The patients in the microscope group are treated with a microscope for middle ear cholesteatoma surgery, and the patients in the otoscope intervention group are treated with an otoscope for middle ear cholesteatoma surgery. The experimental results show that ear endoscopic intervention has better clinical efficacy for CMEC patients, which can effectively shorten the operation time, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, and effectively improve the hearing of patients.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a laryngeal malignancy with a high mortality rates, and its treatment remains difficult. Sevoflurane is a surgical anesthesia which has anti-tumor effect. This investigation assessed the effects of LSCC cells treatment with Sevoflurane in vitro and in vivo. Hep-2 and Tu177 cells, human LSCC samples and BALB/C nude mice were used for result assessments. Cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion were assessed via Cell Count Kit-8, wound healing assay and transwell invasion assay respectively. MiR-26a and FOXO1 expressions was examined by qRT-PCR. FOXO1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin activities were examined by Western blotting. Moreover, animal experiments were performed to verify our findings in vitro. Lastly, miR-26a and FOXO1 expression levels in clinical samples were analyzed. According to the results, Sevoflurane decreased LSCC cells' viability and even stimulated their apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, it could reduce the migration, invasion and EMT. Mechanistically, sevoflurane could downregulate miR-26a expression and that miR-26a could negatively modulate FOXO1 activity. Thus, sevoflurane could increase FOXO1 activity. In the clinical samples, miR-26a expression was significantly upregulated, but FOXO1 was remarkably down-regulated and miR-26a expression in LSCC was linked with better prognosis. In conclusion, MiR-26a is increased and FOXO1 is reduced in human LSCC, Sevoflurane inhibits proliferation and mediates apoptosis of LSCC cells. Further, MiR-26a binds FOXO1 directly, and FOXO1 expression is down-regulated by Sevoflurane. Finally, Sevoflurane triggers LSCC cells apoptosis in vivo. Sevoflurane use to target miR-26a/FOXO1 may be a novel alternative for LSCC therapy.

Aim of the study: Fluid shear stress (FSS) plays a critical role in osteoblast proliferation via extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5). Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) knockout robustly enhances bone formation due to increased osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. However, the effect of KLF4 on osteoblast proliferation is unresolved. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the effect of KLF4 on osteogenic lineage cell proliferation and the relationship between KLF4 and ERK5. Materials and methods: MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with FSS and/or KLF4 siRNA, cell viability was accessed by Edu labeling and CCK-8 assay, and proliferative gene expression were assessed by PCR array. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were infected with adenovirus expressing KLF4 and/or constitutively active MEK5, cell viability was evaluated using crystal violet staining, colony formation assay, and cell WST1 assay. The levels of KLF4 and ERK5 phosphorylation were identified through qRT-PCR and western blot, respectively. Results: KLF4 expression was significantly down-regulated by FSS exposure, however, this was reversed by ERK5 siRNA. KLF4 overexpression inhibited colony formation efficiency and cell viability in BMSCs. Adenoviruses expressing constitutively active MEK5 increased ERK5 phosphorylation, which inhibited KLF4 expression, and promoted BMSC proliferation. FSS-induced osteoblast proliferation also involved elevation of Cyclin B2 and Cdc14b as well as repressed expression of P27. Conclusions: KLF4 negatively regulates osteogenic lineage cell proliferation, and ERK5 negatively regulates KLF4 expression and promotes osteogenic lineage cell proliferation.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors are widespread in eukaryotes, including plants, animals, fungi, and oomycetes. However, the functions of bZIPs in oomycetes are rarely known. In this study, we identified a bZIP protein possessing a special bZIP-PAS structure in Peronophythora litchii, named PlBZP32 We found that PlBZP32 is upregulated in zoospores, in cysts, and during invasive hyphal growth. We studied the functions of PlBZP32 using the RNAi technique to suppress the expression of this gene. PlBZP32-silenced mutants were more sensitive to oxidative stress, showed a lower cyst germination rate, and produced more sporangia than the wild-type strain SHS3. The PlBZP32-silenced mutants were also less invasive on the host plant. Furthermore, we analyzed the activities of extracellular peroxidases and laccases and found that silencing PlBZP32 decreased the activities of P. litchii peroxidase and laccase. To our knowledge, this is the first report that the functions of a bZIP-PAS protein are associated with oxidative stress, asexual development, and pathogenicity in oomycetes.IMPORTANCE In this study, we utilized the RNAi technique to investigate the functions of PlBZP32, which possesses a basic leucine zipper (bZIP)-PAS structure, and provided insights into the contributions of bZIP transcription factors to oxidative stress, the production of sporangia, the germination of cysts, and the pathogenicity of Peronophythora litchii This study also revealed the role of PlBZP32 in regulating the enzymatic activities of extracellular peroxidases and laccases in the plant-pathogenic oomycete.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved signal transduction modules directing cellular respond to a diverse array of stimuli, in the eukaryotic organisms. In this study, PlMAPK10 was identified to encode a MAPK in Peronophythora litchii, the oomycete pathogen causing litchi downy blight disease. PlMAPK10, containing a specific and highly conserved dual phosphorylation lip sequence SEY (Serine-Glutamic-Tyrosine), represents a novel group of MAPKs as previously reported. Transcriptional profiling showed that PlMAPK10 expression was up-regulated in zoospore and cyst stages. To elucidate its function, the PlMAPK10 gene was silenced by stable transformation. PlMAPK10 silence did not impair oospore production, sporangium germination, zoospore encyst, or cyst germination but hindered hyphal growth, sporulation, pathogenicity, likely due to altering laccase activity. Over all, our results indicated that a MAPK encoded by PlMAPK10 gene in P. litchii is important for pathogenic development.
RESUMO
Nasal polyp (NP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and sinuses. Although some authors have suggested that NP is related to inflammatory factors such as interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-5, IL-8, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-17, the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and progression of NP remain obscure. This study investigated the expression and distribution of IL-17 and syndecan-1 in NP, and explored the roles of these two molecules in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Eos CRSwNP) and non-Eos CRSwNP. Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of IL-17 and syndecan-1 in samples [NP, unciform process (UP) from patients with CRS, and middle turbinate (MT) from healthy controls undergoing pituitary tumor surgery]. The results showed that the expression levels of IL-17 and syndecan-1 were upregulated in both NP and UP tissues, but both factors were higher in NP tissues than in UP tissues. There was no significant difference in IL-17 levels between the Eos CRSwNP and non-Eos CRSwNP samples, and syndecan-1 levels were increased in the non-Eos CRSwNP tissues as compared with those in Eos CRSwNP tissues. In all of the groups, there was a close correlation between the expression of IL-17 and syndecan-1 in nasal mucosa epithelial cells, glandular epithelial cells, and inflammatory cells, suggesting that IL-17 and syndecan-1 may play a role, and interact with each other, in the pathogenesis of non-Eos CRSwNP.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy with dermatophagoides pteronyssinus standardized extract given in conventional and cluster immunotherapy schedules for persistent allergic rhinitis. METHODS: One hundred and ten patients with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis caused by dust mites, in accordance with the immunotherapy inclusion criteria, were allocated to receive conventional immunotherapy as group A (n = 57) or cluster immunotherapy as group B (n = 53). In group A, 7 cases were lost to follow-up, the expulsion rate of group A was 12.28%; in group B, 1 case was lost to follow-up, the expulsion rate of group B was 1.89%. Nasal symptom scores, medicine scores and mini rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (Mini RQLQ) were recorded and compared before and after 7 weeks, 15 weeks, 1.0 year, 1.5 years, 2.0 years. All the scores were assessed to evaluate the clinical efficacy, and also the incidence of local and systemic adverse reactions were registered to evaluate the safety. SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Nasal symptom scores, medicine scores and Mini RQLQ of both groups were significant lower than those before the treatment (all P < 0.05). Mini RQLQ and nasal symptom scores in cluster group (0.55 ± 0.21,0.57 ± 0.27) were more significantly declined than the conventional group after 7 weeks and 2.0 years of observation (all PMini RQLQ<0.05;nasal symptom scores: 1.41 ± 0.65, 0.83 ± 0.30, t value was 11.344, 5.649, both P < 0.05). The clinical efficiency rate in cluster group (86.5%, 94.2%) were more significantly highter than those (60.0%, 80.0%) in the conventional group after 7 weeks and 2 years of observation (χ(2) value was 9.224, 4.642, both P < 0.05). The medicine scores in cluster group (0.11 ± 0.04) was more significantly declined than conventional group (0.47 ± 0.11) after 7 weeks (t = 27.665, P < 0.05). The incidence of local and systemic adverse reactions during the incremental-dose phase and maintenance-dose phase compared with conventional immunotherapy were not significantly different (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The cluster immunotherapy is a safe treatment method which is more effective and faster than conventional immunotherapy to the dust mites caused allergic rhinitis.
