SNRPB2 in the pan-cancer landscape: A bioinformatics exploration and validation in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Aberrant splicing is a significant contributor to gene expression abnormalities in cancer. SNRPB2, a component of U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs), contributes to the assembly of the spliceosome, the molecular machinery responsible for splicing. To date, few studies have investigated the role of SNRPB2 in tumorigenesis. We examined data sourced from various public databases, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA), the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium(CPTAC), and Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO). Our investigation included gene expression, genomic and epigenomic scrutiny, gene set enrichment assessment(GSEA), and immune cell infiltration evaluation. Furthermore, we performed empirical validation to ascertain the impact of SNRPB2 suppression on the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cells. Analysis of gene expression revealed widespread upregulation of SNRPB2 across a spectrum of cancer types, with heightened levels of SNRPB2 expression in numerous tumors linked to unfavorable prognosis. Genomic and epigenomic assessments revealed connections between SNRPB2 expression and variations in SNRPB2 copy number, DNA methylation patterns, and RNA modifications. Through gene set enrichment analysis, the involvement of SNRPB2 in vital biological processes and pathways related to cancer was identified. Furthermore, scrutiny of immune cell infiltration suggested a potential relationship between SNRPB2 and the tumor microenvironment, which was reinforced by multiple single-cell sequencing profiles. Subsequent experimental validation revealed that silencing SNRPB2 effectively impeded the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cells. Taken together, these findings underscore the prospective utility of SNRPB2 as a prognostic biomarker and a promising candidate for immunotherapy in cancer. It is necessary to engage in additional exploration into its underlying mechanisms and clinical treatment potential.

Research on the Optimization Method of Visual Sensor Calibration Combining Convex Lens Imaging with the Bionic Algorithm of Wolf Pack Predation.

To improve the accuracy of camera calibration, a novel optimization method is proposed in this paper, which combines convex lens imaging with the bionic algorithm of Wolf Pack Predation (CLI-WPP). During the optimization process, the internal parameters and radial distortion parameters of the camera are regarded as the search targets of the bionic algorithm of Wolf Pack Predation, and the reprojection error of the calibration results is used as the fitness evaluation criterion of the bionic algorithm of Wolf Pack Predation. The goal of optimizing camera calibration parameters is achieved by iteratively searching for a solution that minimizes the fitness value. To overcome the drawback that the bionic algorithm of Wolf Pack Predation is prone to fall into local optimal, a reverse learning strategy based on convex lens imaging is introduced to transform the current optimal individual and generate a series of new individuals with potential better solutions that are different from the original individual, helping the algorithm out of the local optimum dilemma. The comparative experimental results show that the average reprojection errors of the simulated annealing algorithm, Zhang's calibration method, the sparrow search algorithm, the particle swarm optimization algorithm, bionic algorithm of Wolf Pack Predation, and the algorithm proposed in this paper (CLI-WPP) are 0.42986500, 0.28847656, 0.23543161, 0.219342495, 0.10637477, and 0.06615037, respectively. The results indicate that calibration accuracy, stability, and robustness are significantly improved with the optimization method based on the CLI-WPP, in comparison to the existing commonly used optimization algorithms.

Genomes of Aegilops umbellulata provide new insights into unique structural variations and genetic diversity in the U-genome for wheat improvement.

Aegilops umbellulata serve as an important reservoir for novel biotic and abiotic stress tolerance for wheat improvement. However, chromosomal rearrangements and evolutionary trajectory of this species remain to be elucidated. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation into Ae. umbellulata genome by generating a high-quality near telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of PI 554389 and resequencing 20 additional Ae. umbellulata genomes representing diverse geographical and phenotypic variations. Our analysis unveils complex chromosomal rearrangements, most prominently in 4U and 6U chromosomes, delineating a distinct evolutionary trajectory of Ae. umbellulata from wheat and its relatives. Furthermore, our data rectified the erroneous naming of chromosomes 4U and 6U in the past and highlighted multiple major evolutionary events that led to the present-day U-genome. Resequencing of diverse Ae. umbellulata accessions revealed high genetic diversity within the species, partitioning into three distinct evolutionary sub-populations and supported by extensive phenotypic variability in resistance against several races/pathotypes of five major wheat diseases. Disease evaluations indicated the presence of several novel resistance genes in the resequenced lines for future studies. Resequencing also resulted in the identification of six new haplotypes for Lr9, the first resistance gene cloned from Ae. umbellulata. The extensive genomic and phenotypic resources presented in this study will expedite the future genetic exploration of Ae. umbellulata, facilitating efforts aimed at enhancing resiliency and productivity in wheat.

Altered functional connectivity of resting-state networks and the correlation with clinical characteristics in intermittent exotropia adult patients: a resting-state magnetic resonance imaging study.

BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of intermittent exotropia (IXT) remains unclear. The study aims to investigate alterations of resting-state networks (RSNs) in IXT adult patients using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data to explore the potential neural mechanisms. METHODS: Twenty-six IXT adult patients and 22 age-, sex-, handedness-, and education-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent fMRI scanning and ophthalmological examinations. Brain areas with significant functional connectivity (FC) differences between the IXT and HC groups were selected as regions of interest (ROI) and mean z-scores were calculated to control for individual differences. RESULTS: Compared with HCs, IXT patients exhibited altered FC in various brain regions within RSNs involved in binocular fusion, stereopsis, ocular movement, emotional processes and social cognition, including the default mode network (DMN), the dorsal attention network (DAN), the visual network (VN), the sensorimotor network (SMN), the executive control network (ECN), the frontoparietal network (FPN) and the auditory network (AN). The degree of exodeviation was positively correlated with FC value of left middle occipital gyrus (MOG) within the VN. Correspondingly, we found a negative correlation between the degree of exodeviation and the FC value of left angular gyrus (AG) within FPN (P < 0.05). The FNC analysis between different RSNs also provides evidence on visual-motor cortical plasticity. CONCLUSIONS: IXT patients showed widespread changes of brain activity within RSNs related to binocular fusion, stereopsis, oculomotor control, emotional processes, and social cognition. These findings extend our current understanding of the neuropathological mechanisms of IXT. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Beginning date of the trial: 2021-09-01.

Assembly and evaluation of a confocal microscopy image analysis pipeline useful in revealing the secrets of plant-fungal interactions.

The ability of laser scanning confocal microscopy to generate high-contrast 2D and 3D images has become essential in studying plant-fungal interactions. Techniques such as visualization of native fluorescence, fluorescent protein tagging of microbes, GFP/RFP-fusion proteins, and fluorescent labelling of plant and fungal proteins have been widely used to aid in these investigations. Use of fluorescent proteins has several pitfalls including variability of expression in planta and the requirement of gene transformation. Here we used the unlabeled pathogens Parastagonospora nodorum, Pyrenophora teres f. teres, and Cercospora beticola infecting wheat, barley, and sugar beet respectively, to show the utility of a staining and imaging pipeline that uses propidium iodide (PI), which stains RNA and DNA, and wheat germ agglutinin labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (WGA-FITC), which stains chitin, to visualize fungal colonization of plants. This pipeline relies on the use of KOH to remove the cutin layer of the leaf, increasing its permeability, allowing the different stains to penetrate and effectively bind to their targets, resulting in a consistent visualization of cellular structures. To expand the utility of this pipeline, we used the staining techniques in conjunction with machine learning to analyze fungal biomass through volume analysis, as well as quantifying nuclear breakdown, an early indicator of programmed cell death (PCD). This pipeline is simple to use, robust, consistent across host and fungal species and can be applied to most plant-fungal interactions. Therefore, this pipeline can be used to characterize model systems as well as non-model interactions where transformation is not routine.

Highly Stable Propane Dehydrogenation on a Self-supporting Single-component Zn2SiO4 Catalyst.

Current industrial propane dehydrogenation (PDH) processes predominantly use either toxic Cr-based or expensive Pt-based catalysts, necessitating urgent exploration for alternatives. Herein, we present Zn2SiO4, an easily prepared, cost-effective material, as a highly efficient and stable catalyst for PDH. Uniquely, Zn2SiO4 nanocrystals do not require dispersion on support materials, commonly needed for catalytic active oxide clusters, but function as a self-supporting catalyst instead. During the reaction's induction period, surface Zn species on the Zn2SiO4 crystal reduce to coordinately unsaturated ZnOx single sites, serving as highly active catalytic centers. The Zn2SiO4 catalyst demonstrates a stable performance over 200 hours of PDH operation at 550 °C. We further find that introducing a minuscule amount of CO2 into the propane feed significantly extends the catalyst lifespan to over 2000 hours. This enhancement arises from the special role of CO2 in facilitating the removal of strongly adsorbed H*, preventing the complete reduction of ZnOx. After prolonged reaction, the activity of Zn2SiO4 can be fully restored by etching the surface layer to expose fresh Zn species, available throughout the crystals. The combination of CO2 introduction and catalytic site regeneration strategies is expected to enable a year-long PDH operation using a single batch of Zn2SiO4 catalyst.

Achieving dendrite-free growth of Zn anode by electrodepositing on zincophilic gold-furnished mesh for aqueous zinc-ion batteries.

Here, we report a gold-furnished mesh as the current collector for Zn electrodeposition, which is used as the anode in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The anode exhibits excellent cycling performance without obvious dendrite growth, and the full cell shows an outstanding specific capacity and long-term durability, surpassing those of bare Zn.

Application of articaine in endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy: a retrospective study.

Background: To investigate the comparative effects of local anesthesia using lidocaine with adrenaline vs. articaine with adrenaline in endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR). Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 180 patients. These patients were categorized into two groups: the lidocaine group, which received 2% lidocaine (1:100,000 adrenaline), and the articaine group, which received 4% articaine (1:100,000 adrenaline) for local anesthesia. The study compared anesthesia efficacy, intraoperative pain levels, intraoperative bleeding, as well as differences in heart rate and blood pressure between the two groups. Results: The articaine group demonstrated a significantly lower visual analog scale (VAS) pain score when compared to the lidocaine group, measuring at 4.4 ± 0.6 cm vs. 5.0 ± 1.0 cm, respectively (P < 0.0001). Additionally, the articaine group exhibited a higher anesthesia efficacy compared to the lidocaine group (89.0% vs. 76.6%, p = 0.0487). Notably, the articaine group experienced less nasal mucosal bleeding during the surgery in contrast to the lidocaine group (p = 0.004). However, there were no statistically significant differences in changes in blood pressure and heart rate between the two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that 4% articaine (1:100,000 adrenaline) has superior clinical effectiveness in comparison to 2% lidocaine (1:100,000 adrenaline) in EN-DCR.

The application and effect of presuturing with clips in endoscopic full-thickness resection.

There are few studies on presuturing for full-thickness resection. To explore the effect of using clips as a presuturing technique for endoscopic snare resection with an elastic band (ESR-EB). The clinical data of patients who underwent ESR-EB at Shenzhen Second People's Hospital between May 2023 and May 2024 were collected. The patients were divided into presuture and non-presuture groups according to whether tissues were stitched before resection. The general clinical characteristics, tumor growth position, tumor size, tumor growth pattern, pathological type, operation time, resection time, complication rate, number of clips, and postoperative antibiotic usage rate were compared. A total of 73 patients were enrolled, 55 of whom were included in the presuture group and 18 were included in the non-presuture group. There was no difference in age, sex, tumor position, tumor size, or tumor growth pattern between the 2 groups (P > .05). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of operation time, resection time, pathological diagnosis, number of clips, or complication rate (P > .05). Complete resection was achieved in all of the patients. The perforation diameter in the presuture group was significantly smaller than that in the non-presuture group ([3.20 ±â€…1.56] vs [4.67 ±â€…2.79], [P = .006]). Thirty-three (60%) patients in the presuture group and 16 (88.89%) patients in the non-presuture group received postoperative preventive antibiotics, and the difference between the 2 groups was significant (P = .024). Gastric myometrial lesions <10 mm in diameter can be completely removed via ESR-EB. Clips as a means of presuturing can significantly reduce the perforation diameter and the use of postoperative preventive antibiotics. Moreover, clips as a means of presuturing does not increase the total number of clips used for the procedure and therefore should be considered a feasible, safe and effective technique.

Association mapping of tan spot and septoria nodorum blotch resistance in cultivated emmer wheat.

KEY MESSAGE: A total of 65 SNPs associated with resistance to tan spot and septoria nodorum blotch were identified in a panel of 180 cultivated emmer accessions through association mapping Tan spot and septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) are foliar diseases caused by the respective fungal pathogens Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and Parastagonospora nodorum that affect global wheat production. To find new sources of resistance, we evaluated a panel of 180 cultivated emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) accessions for reactions to four P. tritici-repentis isolates Pti2, 86-124, 331-9 and DW5, two P. nodorum isolate, Sn4 and Sn2000, and four necrotrophic effectors (NEs) produced by the pathogens. About 8-36% of the accessions exhibited resistance to the four P. tritici-repentis isolates, with five accessions demonstrating resistance to all isolates. For SNB, 64% accessions showed resistance to Sn4, 43% to Sn2000 and 36% to both isolates, with Spain (11% accessions) as the most common origin of resistance. To understand the genetic basis of resistance, association mapping was performed using SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers generated by genotype-by-sequencing and the 9 K SNP Infinium array. A total of 46 SNPs were significantly associated with tan spot and 19 SNPs with SNB resistance or susceptibility. Six trait loci on chromosome arms 1BL, 3BL, 4AL (2), 6BL and 7AL conferred resistance to two or more isolates. Known NE sensitivity genes for disease development were undetected except Snn5 for Sn2000, suggesting novel genetic factors are controlling host-pathogen interaction in cultivated emmer. The emmer accessions with the highest levels of resistance to the six pathogen isolates (e.g., CItr 14133-1, PI 94634-1 and PI 377672) could serve as donors for tan spot and SNB resistance in wheat breeding programs.

Research on a Recognition Algorithm for Traffic Signs in Foggy Environments Based on Image Defogging and Transformer.

The efficient and accurate identification of traffic signs is crucial to the safety and reliability of active driving assistance and driverless vehicles. However, the accurate detection of traffic signs under extreme cases remains challenging. Aiming at the problems of missing detection and false detection in traffic sign recognition in fog traffic scenes, this paper proposes a recognition algorithm for traffic signs based on pix2pixHD+YOLOv5-T. Firstly, the defogging model is generated by training the pix2pixHD network to meet the advanced visual task. Secondly, in order to better match the defogging algorithm with the target detection algorithm, the algorithm YOLOv5-Transformer is proposed by introducing a transformer module into the backbone of YOLOv5. Finally, the defogging algorithm pix2pixHD is combined with the improved YOLOv5 detection algorithm to complete the recognition of traffic signs in foggy environments. Comparative experiments proved that the traffic sign recognition algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the impact of a foggy environment on traffic sign recognition. Compared with the YOLOv5-T and YOLOv5 algorithms in moderate fog environments, the overall improvement of this algorithm is achieved. The precision of traffic sign recognition of the algorithm in the fog traffic scene reached 78.5%, the recall rate was 72.2%, and mAP@0.5 was 82.8%.

Rat nasal mucosa-derived ectodermal mesenchymal stem cells: A new therapeutic option for chronic rhinosinusitis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of nasal mucosa-derived ectodermal mesenchymal stem cells (NM-EMSCs) on the inflammatory state of rats with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and the underlying therapeutic mechanism. METHODS: NM-EMSCs were isolated and extracted to construct a rat model of CRS. Fifteen Sprague‒Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups: CK + NS group rats were injected locally with saline in the nasal mucosa; CRS + NS group rats were injected locally with saline in the nasal mucosa; and CRS + EMSCs group rats were injected locally with NM-EMSCs in the nasal mucosa. One rat from the CRS + EMSCs group was randomly euthanized at 2, 4, and 6 days after injection, and the nasal mucosa tissues were collected for HE staining, Masson's trichrome staining, and periodic acid-Schiff staining. RESULTS: NM-EMSCs specifically expressing CD73, CD105, and CD90 were successfully isolated from the nasal mucosa of rats and were able to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. After saline and NM-EMSC injection, compared with those in the blank control CK + NS group, the nasal mucosa in the CRS + NS and CRS + EMSC groups exhibited obvious thickening, a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration, and increased collagen and mucin distribution. Four days post-NM-EMSC injection, the thickening of the nasal mucosa in the CRS group was gradually alleviated, the inflammatory cell infiltration gradually decreased, and the distribution of collagen and mucin and the collagen-positive area gradually decreased. Moreover, only a small number of inflammatory cells were visible, and the distribution of mucins was limited to 6 days post-NM-EMSC injection. CONCLUSION: NM-EMSCs effectively attenuated inflammation in the nasal mucosa of CRS model rats.

Variability in Chromosome 1 of Select Moroccan Pyrenophora teres f. teres Isolates Overcomes a Highly Effective Barley Chromosome 6H Source of Resistance.

Barley net form net blotch (NFNB) is a destructive foliar disease caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres. Barley line CIho5791, which harbors the broadly effective chromosome 6H resistance gene Rpt5, displays dominant resistance to P. teres f. teres. To genetically characterize P. teres f. teres avirulence/virulence on the barley line CIho5791, we generated a P. teres f. teres mapping population using a cross between the Moroccan CIho5791-virulent isolate MorSM40-3 and the avirulent reference isolate 0-1. Full genome sequences were generated for 103 progenies. Saturated chromosome-level genetic maps were generated, and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping identified two major QTL associated with P. teres f. teres avirulence/virulence on CIho5791. The most significant QTL mapped to chromosome (Ch) 1, where the virulent allele was contributed by MorSM40-3. A second QTL mapped to Ch8; however, this virulent allele was contributed by the avirulent parent 0-1. The Ch1 and Ch8 loci accounted for 27 and 15% of the disease variation, respectively, and the avirulent allele at the Ch1 locus was epistatic over the virulent allele at the Ch8 locus. As a validation, we used a natural P. teres f. teres population in a genome-wide association study that identified the same Ch1 and Ch8 loci. We then generated a new reference quality genome assembly of parental isolate MorSM40-3 with annotation supported by deep transcriptome sequencing of infection time points. The annotation identified candidate genes predicted to encode small, secreted proteins, one or more of which are likely responsible for overcoming the CIho5791 resistance.

Characterization and Genome Analysis of the Delftia lacustris Strain LzhVag01 Isolated from Vaginal Discharge.

Delftia has been separated from freshwater, sludge, and soil and has emerged as a novel opportunistic pathogen in the female vagina. However, the genomic characteristics, pathogenicity, and biotechnological properties still need to be comprehensively investigated. In this study, a Delftia strain was isolated from the vaginal discharge of a 43-year-old female with histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN III), followed by whole-genome sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis and average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis demonstrated that it belongs to Delftia lacustris, named D. lacustris strain LzhVag01. LzhVag01 was sensitive to ß-lactams, macrolides, and tetracyclines but exhibited resistance to lincoamines, nitroimidazoles, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones. Its genome is a single, circular chromosome of 6,740,460 bp with an average GC content of 66.59%. Whole-genome analysis identified 16 antibiotic resistance-related genes, which match the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of this strain, and 11 potential virulence genes. These pathogenic factors may contribute to its colonization in the vaginal environment and its adaptation and accelerate the progression of cervical cancer. This study sequenced and characterized the whole-genome of Delftia lacustris isolated from vaginal discharge, which provides investigators and clinicians with valuable insights into this uncommon species.

Linewidth Measurement of a Narrow-Linewidth Laser: Principles, Methods, and Systems.

Narrow-linewidth lasers mainly depend on the development of advanced laser linewidth measurement methods for related technological progress as key devices in satellite laser communications, precision measurements, ultra-high-speed optical communications, and other fields. This manuscript provides a theoretical analysis of linewidth characterization methods based on the beat frequency power spectrum and laser phase noise calculations, and elaborates on existing research of measurement technologies. In addition, to address the technical challenges of complex measurement systems that commonly rely on long optical fibers and significant phase noise jitter in the existing research, a short-delay self-heterodyne method based on coherent envelope spectrum demodulation was discussed in depth to reduce the phase jitter caused by 1/f noise. We assessed the performance parameters and testing conditions of different lasers, as well as the corresponding linewidth characterization methods, and analyzed the measurement accuracy and error sources of various methods.

SP1-induced circ_0017552 modulates colon cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis via up-regulation of NET1.

Colon cancer (CC) is a common malignancy over the world and its morbidity and mortality significantly went up in China in recent years. Molecular functions in cancers have gradually been the pivot subject in cancer research. Neuroepithelial cell transforming 1 (NET1) was reported to contribute to prostate cancer and gastric cancer. Our study figured out that NET1 was overexpressed in CC cells. Then, loss-of-function assays revealed that NET1 facilitated CC cell proliferation and repressed CC cell apoptosis. Next, miR-338-3p was confirmed to target NET1. After that, we verified that circ_0017552 which originates from NET1 could positively modulate NET1 expression. Besides, circ_0017552 was a sponge of miR-338-3p. Rescue assays' results demonstrated that circ_0017552 could regulate CC cell proliferation and apoptosis through up-regulation of NET1. A transcription factor named Sp1 (SP1) was found to be present in circ_0017552. SP1 induced transcription of circ_0017552 to facilitate CC cell proliferation and inhibit CC cell apoptosis. In a word, SP1-induced circ_0017552 regulated CC cell proliferation and apoptosis through miR-338-3p/NET1 axis.

E3 ubiquitin ligase UBR5 modulates circadian rhythm by facilitating the ubiquitination and degradation of the key clock transcription factor BMAL1.

The circadian clock is the inner rhythm of life activities and is controlled by a self-sustained and endogenous molecular clock, which maintains a ~ 24 h internal oscillation. As the core element of the circadian clock, BMAL1 is susceptible to degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Nevertheless, scant information is available regarding the UPS enzymes that intricately modulate both the stability and transcriptional activity of BMAL1, affecting the cellular circadian rhythm. In this work, we identify and validate UBR5 as a new E3 ubiquitin ligase that interacts with BMAL1 by using affinity purification, mass spectrometry, and biochemical experiments. UBR5 overexpression induced BMAL1 ubiquitination, leading to diminished stability and reduced protein level of BMAL1, thereby attenuating its transcriptional activity. Consistent with this, UBR5 knockdown increases the BMAL1 protein. Domain mapping discloses that the C-terminus of BMAL1 interacts with the N-terminal domains of UBR5. Similarly, cell-line-based experiments discover that HYD, the UBR5 homolog in Drosophila, could interact with and downregulate CYCLE, the BMAL1 homolog in Drosophila. PER2-luciferase bioluminescence real-time reporting assay in a mammalian cell line and behavioral experiments in Drosophila reveal that UBR5 or hyd knockdown significantly reduces the period of the circadian clock. Therefore, our work discovers a new ubiquitin ligase UBR5 that regulates BMAL1 stability and circadian rhythm and elucidates the underlying molecular mechanism. This work provides an additional layer of complexity to the regulatory network of the circadian clock at the post-translational modification level, offering potential insights into the modulation of the dysregulated circadian rhythm.
