RESUMEN

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is used in early-stage Alzheimer's disease to slow progression, but heterogeneity in response results in different treatment outcomes. The mechanisms underlying this heterogeneity are unclear. This study used resting-state neuroimaging to investigate the variability in episodic memory improvement from angular gyrus repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and tracked the neural circuits involved. Thirty-four amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients underwent angular gyrus repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (4 weeks, 20 Hz, 100% resting motor threshold) and were divided into high-response and low-response groups based on minimal clinically important differences in auditory verbal learning test scores. Baseline and pre/post-treatment neural circuit activities were compared. Results indicated that the orbital middle frontal gyrus in the orbitofrontal cortex network and the precuneus in the default mode network had higher local activity in the low-response group. After treatment, changes in local and remote connectivity within brain regions of the orbitofrontal cortex, default mode network, visual network, and sensorimotor network showed opposite trends and were related to treatment effects. This suggests that the activity states of brain regions within the orbitofrontal cortex and default mode network could serve as imaging markers for early cognitive compensation in amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients and predict the aftereffects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation response.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Inadequate DNA damage repair promotes aberrant differentiation of mammary epithelial cells. Mammary luminal cell fate is mainly determined by a few transcription factors including GATA3. We previously reported that GATA3 functions downstream of BRCA1 to suppress aberrant differentiation in breast cancer. How GATA3 impacts DNA damage repair preventing aberrant cell differentiation in breast cancer remains elusive. We previously demonstrated that loss of p18, a cell cycle inhibitor, in mice induces luminal-type mammary tumors, whereas depletion of either Brca1 or Gata3 in p18 null mice leads to basal-like breast cancers (BLBCs) with activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We took advantage of these mutant mice to examine the role of Gata3 as well as the interaction of Gata3 and Brca1 in DNA damage repair in mammary tumorigenesis. RESULTS: Depletion of Gata3, like that of Brca1, promoted DNA damage accumulation in breast cancer cells in vitro and in basal-like breast cancers in vivo. Reconstitution of Gata3 improved DNA damage repair in Brca1-deficient mammary tumorigenesis. Overexpression of GATA3 promoted homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA damage repair and restored HR efficiency of BRCA1-deficient cells. Depletion of Gata3 sensitized tumor cells to PARP inhibitor (PARPi), and reconstitution of Gata3 enhanced resistance of Brca1-deficient tumor cells to PARP inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that Gata3 functions downstream of BRCA1 to promote DNA damage repair and suppress dedifferentiation in mammary tumorigenesis and progression. Our findings suggest that PARP inhibitors are effective for the treatment of GATA3-deficient BLBCs.

RESUMEN

Effective utilization of glucose, xylose, and acetate, common carbon sources in lignocellulose hydrolysate, can boost biomanufacturing economics. However, carbon leaks into biomass biosynthesis pathways instead of the intended target product remain to be optimized. This study aimed to enhance α-carotene production by optimizing glucose, xylose, and acetate utilization in a high-efficiency Corynebacterium glutamicum cell factory. Heterologous xylose pathway expression in C. glutamicum resulted in strain m4, exhibiting a two-fold increase in α-carotene production from xylose compared to glucose. Xylose utilization was found to boost the biosynthesis of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA, essential precursors for carotenoid biosynthesis. Additionally, metabolic engineering including pck, pyc, ppc, and aceE deletion, completely disrupted the metabolic connection between glycolysis and the TCA cycle, further enhancing α-carotene production. This strategic intervention directed glucose and xylose primarily towards target chemical production, while acetate supplied essential metabolites for cell growth recovery. The engineered strain C. glutamicum m8 achieved 30 mg/g α-carotene, 67% higher than strain m4. In fed-batch fermentation, strain m8 produced 1802 mg/L of α-carotene, marking the highest titer reported to date in microbial fermentation. Moreover, it exhibited excellent performance in authentic lignocellulosic hydrolysate, producing 216 mg/L α-carotene, 1.45 times higher than the initial strain (m4). These labor-division strategies significantly contribute to the development of clean processes for producing various valuable chemicals from lignocellulosic resources.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are often co-morbid with unprovoked seizures, making clinical diagnosis and management difficult. Although it has an important role in both AD and epilepsy, abnormal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic transmission is recognized only as a compensative change for glutamatergic damage. Neuregulin 1 (NRG1)-ErbB4 signaling can promote GABA release and suppress epileptogenesis, but its effects on cognition in AD are still controversial. METHODS: Four-month-old APPswe/PS1dE9 mice (APP mice) were used as animal models in the early stage of AD in this study. Acute/chronic chemical-kindling epilepsy models were established with pentylenetetrazol. Electroencephalogram and Racine scores were performed to assess seizures. Behavioral tests were used to assess cognition and emotion. Electrophysiology, western blot and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the alterations in synapses, GABAergic system components and NRG1-ErbB4 signaling. Furthermore, NRG1 was administrated intracerebroventricularly into APP mice and then its antiepileptic and cognitive effects were evaluated. RESULTS: APP mice had increased susceptibility to epilepsy and resulting hippocampal synaptic damage and cognitive impairment. Electrophysiological analysis revealed decreased GABAergic transmission in the hippocampus. This abnormal GABAergic transmission involved a reduction in the number of parvalbumin interneurons (PV+ Ins) and decreased levels of GABA synthesis and transport. We also found impaired NRG1-ErbB4 signaling which mediated by PV+ Ins loss. And NRG1 administration could effectively reduce seizures and improve cognition in four-month-old APP mice. CONCLUSION: Our results indicated that abnormal GABAergic transmission mediated hippocampal hyperexcitability, further excitation/inhibition imbalance, and promoted epileptogenesis in the early stage of AD. Appropriate NRG1 administration could down-regulate seizure susceptibility and rescue cognitive function. Our study provided a potential direction for intervening in the co-morbidity of AD and epilepsy.

RESUMEN

Three yeast strains belonging to the ascomycetous yeast genus Pichia were isolated from two soil samples from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and a marine water sample from Liaoning province, PR China. Phylogenetic analyses based on the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit(LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region indicate that these three strains, together with 12 additional strains isolated from various substrates collected in different regions or countries of the world, represent a novel species of the genus Pichia, for which the name Pichia kurtzmaniana sp. nov. (holotype: strain CGMCC 2.7213) is proposed. The novel species differs from its close relatives Candida californica by eight (1.5 %) and 26 (11.1 %) mismatches in the D1/D2 domains and the ITS region, respectively; and from Pichia chibodasensis by 11 (2.1 %) and 20 (8.7 %) mismatches in the D1/D2 domains and the ITS region, respectively. In addition, eight Candida species which belong to the Pichia clade are transferred to the genus Pichia, resulting in the proposal of the following new combinations: Pichia cabralensis comb. nov., Pichia californica comb. nov., Pichia ethanolica comb. nov., Pichia inconspicua comb. nov., Pichia phayaonensis comb. nov., Pichia pseudolambica comb. nov., Pichia rugopelliculosa comb. nov., and Pichia thaimueangensis comb. nov.

RESUMEN

A yeast strain (CGMCC 2.6937T) belonging to the ascomycetous yeast genus Saturnispora was recently isolated from soil collected in Xinghuacun, Shanxi Province, PR China. The strain produces one or two ellipsoid or spherical ascospores in asci formed by the conjugation between a cell and its bud. Phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit rRNA gene suggest that this strain is conspecific with strains NYNU 14639 isolated from rotten wood collected in Funiu Mountain, Henan province and ES13S05 from soil collected in Nantou County, Taiwan. The CGMCC 2.6937T group is most closely related to Saturnispora dispora and Saturnispora zaruensis. However, strain CGMCC 2.6937T differs from S. dispora by 17 (3.2 %, 13 substitutions and four gaps) and 77 (18.8 %, 52 substitutions and 25 gaps) mismatches, and from S. zaruensis by 15 (2.9 %, 12 substitutions and three gaps) and 64 (15.6 %, 44 substitutions and 20 gaps) mismatches, in the D1/D2 domain and ITS region, respectively. The results suggest that the CGMCC 2.6937T group represents an undescribed species in the genus Saturnispora, for which the name Saturnispora sinensis sp. nov. is proposed. The holotype strain is CGMCC 2.6937T.

RESUMEN

Reaction of tetraphenyl-21-thiaporphyrin (HSTPP) with cobalt salt yields a pentacoordinated high-spin 3/2 [CoIICl(STTP)] (1). Through ion exchange, a roughly square-planar-geometry low-spin 1/2 CoIISTTP(BArF24) (2) complex was isolated. These two paramagnetic precursors were examined by single X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance, superconducting quantum interference device, and density functional theory calculations. These two allowed the development of one electron reduction and oxidation to give [CoI(STTP)] (3), [CoIII(STTP)Cl(CH3CN)](BF4) (4), and [CoIII(STTP)Cl2] (5). The products of the chemical redox reactions were isolated and fully characterized. In addition, the reactivity of [CoIICl(STTP)] (1) was examined by azide (N3), cyanate (OCN), and thiocyanate (SCN) and featured a preferential N-coordination to the cobalt metal.

RESUMEN

It can provide ideas for the use of uranium elements in the treatment of spent fuel from nuclear wastewater to explore the application potential of uranium element. Thus, it is necessary to research the structure and properties of a novel uranyl coordination polymer (CP) for uranium recovery and reuse. Herein, we designed and prepared a new uranyl CP U-CMNDI based on UO22+ and H2CMNDI (H2CMNDI = N, N'-bis(carboxymethyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide). Structural analysis shows that two uranyl ions are connected by two parallel deprotonated CMNDI ligands to form a discrete uranyl dimer structure. U-CMNDI can act as a potential stimulus-responsive halide ion sensor by a fluorescence "turn on" response in water. The limit of detection for fluoride (F-), bromide (Br-), iodide (I-), and chloride (Cl-) is 5.00, 5.32, 5.49, and 5.73 µM, respectively. The fluorescence "turn on" behavior is based on the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism between halide ions and electron-deficient NDI cores. In addition, U-CMNDI demonstrates a color response to ultraviolet light, exhibiting reversible photochromic behavior with a notable color change. The color change mechanism can contribute to the PET process and the radical process.

RESUMEN

Regulating mixed ligands to change the functional properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been an important topic; especially, the structural changes have significant implications for the transformation of sensing response in different solvent channels. Herein, two [Cd (DPNDI) (NH2-BDC)0.5(NO3)]·2.25DMF (1) and [Cd(DPNDI)(NH2-AIPA)]·0.5DMF (2) (DPNDI = N,N-di(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxydiimide, NH2-BDC = 2-amino terephthalic acid, NH2-AIPA = 5-aminoisophthalic acid) were synthesized by the solvothermal method. Structural analysis shows that complex 1 has a two-dimensional planar network structure and complex 2 exhibits a three-dimensional network structure, endowing its potential as an efficient fluorescence sensor for phenolic compound detection under different solvent environments. Both complexes showed high fluorescence quenching sensitivity to phenolics in a water medium. Conversely, complex 1 showed a fluorescence enhancement response to phenolic pollutants in an ethanol system with significantly low detection limits and recyclability. The detection limits were 0.58 µM for TNP, 1.3 µM for DNP, and 2.43 µM for PCP. In addition, the uncoordinated amino groups in the complexes promote them to exhibit excellent iodine adsorption performance. Especially, complex 2 can serve as an adsorbent for iodine in cyclohexane solution with better adsorption efficiency than that of complex 1, and its adsorption capacity can reach 505 mg/g. The mixed ligands regulation strategy of NDI-based MOFs will open up an effective avenue for the conversion of fluorescence signals in dual-solvent channels and play simultaneously important roles in multiple applications.

RESUMEN

Daqu is used as the fermentation starter of Baijiu and contributes diversified functional microbes for saccharifying grains and converting sugars into ethanol and aroma components in Baijiu products. Daqu is mainly classified into three types, namely low (LTD), medium (MTD) and high (HTD) temperature Daqu, according to the highest temperatures reached in their fermentation processes. In this study, we used the PacBio small-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology to determine the full-length 16 S rRNA gene sequences from the metagenomes of 296 samples of different types of Daqu collected from ten provinces in China, and revealed the bacterial diversity at the species level in the Daqu samples. We totally identified 310 bacteria species, including 78 highly abundant species (with a relative abundance >0.1% each) which accounted for 91.90% of the reads from all the Daqu samples. We also recognized the differentially enriched bacterial species in different types of Daqu, and in the Daqu samples with the same type but from different provinces. Specifically, Lactobacillales, Enterobacterales and Bacillaceae were significantly enriched in the LTD, MTD and HTD groups, respectively. The potential co-existence and exclusion relationships among the bacteria species involved in all the Daqu samples and in the LTD, MTD and HTD samples from a specific region were also identified. These results provide a better understanding of the bacterial diversity in different types of Daqu at the species level.

RESUMEN

The metal-free porphyrins protonation has gained interest over five decades because its structure modification and hardly monoacid intermediate isolation. Here, upon the hydrogen atom abstraction processes, one step diproptonated H3STTP(BF4)2 (STTP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-thiaporphyrin) (3) and stepwise protonated HS2TTPSbCl6 (5) and diprotonated H2S2TTP(BF4)2 (6) (S2TTP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-thiaporphyrin) compounds were obtained using HSTTP and S2TTP with oxidants. The closed-shell protonated compounds were fully characterized using XRD, UV-vis, IR and NMR spectra. In addition, the reduced 19π compounds [K(2,2,2)]HSTTP (2) and [K(2,2,2)]S2TTP (7) were synthesized by the ligands with reductant KC8 in THF solution. These two open-shell compounds were characterized with UV-vis, IR and EPR spectroscopies. The semiempirical ZINDO/S method was employed to analyze the HOMO/LUMO gap lever and identify the electronic transitions of the UV-vis spectra of the closed- and open-shell porphyrin compounds.

RESUMEN

The fate of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde (2-NBA) is of interest in atmospheric chemistry as it is a semi-volatile organic compound with high photosensitivity. This study presents a quantum chemical study of the gas-phase reactions of 2-NBA photo-excitation and OH-oxidation in the absence and presence of small TiO2 clusters. To further understand the unknown photolysis mechanism, the photo-reaction pathways of ground singlet state and the lying excited triplet state of 2-NBA were investigated including the initial and subsequent reactions of proton transfer, direct CO, NO2, and HCO elimination routes in the presence of O2 and NO. Meanwhile, the OH-mediated degradation of 2-NBA proceeded via five H-extraction and six OH-addition channels by indirect mechanism, which follows a succession of reaction steps initiated by the formation of weakly stable intermediate complexes. The H-extraction from the -CHO group was the dominant pathway with a negative activation energy of -1.22 kcal/mol. The calculated rate coefficients at 200-600 K were close to the experimental data in literature within 308-352 K, and the kinetic negative temperature independence was found in both experimental literature and computational results. Interestingly, 2-NBA was favored to be captured onto small TiO2 clusters via six adsorption configurations formed via various combination of three types of bonds of Ti···O, Ti···C, and O···H between the molecularly adsorbed 2-NBA and TiO2 clusters. Comparison indicted that the chemisorptions of aldehyde oxygen have largest energies. The results suggested adsorption conformations have a respectable impact on the catalysis barrier. This study is significant for understanding the atmospheric chemistry of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde.

RESUMEN

A pair of isomeric Py-BT-COFs with the same composition, but slightly different atomic arrangements, were designed and synthesized. The minute structural variations of the Py-BT-COF isomers generated significantly different redox and photophysical properties and correspondingly led to different photocatalytic manifestations in H2 evolution and rhodamine B degradation.

RESUMEN

Status researchers have recognized virtue, competence, and dominance as distinct, viable routes to attaining status. While acknowledging that these routes could be compatible and may not operate independently, prior research relying on a variable-centered perspective has largely neglected their potentially complex interactions. This article integrates a person-centered perspective with the variable-centered perspective to explore how different routes conjointly shape workplace status. Study 1A (N = 537) employs latent profile analysis, an inductive person-centered method, to re-analyze existing survey data, identifying seven distinct profiles of virtue, competence, and dominance that people use to attain status. Study 1B (N = 988) confirms the existence of these profiles in an independent sample of full-time U.S. workers, albeit with nuanced differences in levels. Across our initial studies, these profiles differ in status attainment, with a profile characterized by high virtue and competence but low dominance associated with the highest status-a key discovery challenging to uncover using the variable-centered approach alone. Study 2 (N = 792), a preregistered experiment manipulating the three routes in hypothetical scenarios, gathers causal evidence confirming these profiles' varying effectiveness. Study 3 (N = 785), another preregistered experiment using refined manipulations, corroborates the findings of Study 2 and provides evidence for the relevance of these causal insights to real-life workplace contexts. This research has several crucial implications: reaching the top requires a combination of multiple routes; conflating virtue and competence under the umbrella of "prestige" obscures their unique contributions; and dominance's positive effect on status is not universally applicable.

RESUMEN

Data on the prognosis of clinically undiagnosed hypertensive patients who are aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) positive are still scarce. Therefore, we investigated the clinical characteristics of clinically undiagnosed hypertensive patients who were ARR-positive and the influence of their different treatments on the occurrence and development of complications. A total of 285 hypertensive patients data with ARR ≥ 3.8 in the Second People's Hospital of Huai'an from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected, and 135 undiagnosed hypertensive patients were ultimately included in the analysis. According to their treatment strategy in various clinical departments, 135 patients were divided into the operation, spironolactone and control groups. Then, the clinical characteristics and the occurrence and development of complications in the three groups were compared. The results suggested that: (1) Only 34 (11.9%) of 285 hypertensive patients with ARR ≥ 3.8 were clearly diagnosed with Primary aldosteronism (PA) through functional tests, and the blood pressure (BP) compliance rate was only 50.30% during follow-up. (2) Based on exclusion criteria, 135 undiagnosed hypertensive patients were eventually included in the analysis. Patients in the surgery group had lower blood potassium levels and higher aldosterone levels than those in the other two groups, and their risk of new cerebrovascular complications was lower than that of the patients in the spironolactone group. (3) The risk of new cerebrovascular complications in the spironolactone group was 9.520 times higher than that of the control group, and this risk mainly occurred in patients with ARR values of 3.8-5.7. On the whole, surgery remains a good option for hypertensive patients with severe hyperaldosteronism and hypokalemia and those unable to undergo confirmatory tests; however, spironolactone therapy in patients with clinically undiagnosed hypertension, especially those with 3.8 ≤ ARR < 5.7, confered a higher risk of new cerebrovascular complications.

RESUMEN

Lignocellulose presents a promising alternative to fossil fuels. Monitoring the mass and size changes of lignocellulosic particles without disrupting the process can assist in adjusting pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, where conventional sieving methods fall short. A method utilizing focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) was developed to establish mathematical correlations between FBRM chord information (chord length and count) and particle characteristics (weight and size) quantified through sieving. Results indicate particle size exhibits a linear correlation with the square weighted median chord length (Lsqr) with R2 at 0.93. Further, real-time bulk particle mass can be predicted using Lsqr and chord count (R2 0.98). These correlations are applicable in range 53 µm to 358.5 µm. Real-time monitoring of enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stalks has demonstrated the practical applicability of FBRM. This study introduces a novel approach for online characterization of lignocellulosic particles, thereby enhancing lignocellulosic biorefineries.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Neuro-navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left angular gyrus has been broadly investigated for the treatment of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Although abnormalities in two hippocampal networks, the anterior-temporal (AT) and posterior-medial (PM) networks, are consistent with aMCI and are potential therapeutic targets for rTMS, the underlying mechanisms of the therapeutic effects of rTMS on hippocampal network connections remain unknown. Here, we assessed the impact of left angular gyrus rTMS on activity in these networks and explored whether the treatment response was due to the distance between the clinically applied target (the group average optimal site) and the personalized target in patients with aMCI. METHODS: Sixty subjects clinically diagnosed with aMCI participated in this study after 20 sessions of sham-controlled rTMS targeting the left angular gyrus. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and neuropsychological assessments were performed before and after rTMS. Functional connectivity alterations in the PM and AT networks were assessed using seed-based functional connectivity analysis and two-factor repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). We then computed the correlations between the functional connectivity changes and clinical rating scales. Finally, we examined whether the Euclidean distance between the clinically applied and personalized targets predicted the subsequent treatment response. RESULTS: Compared with the sham group, the active rTMS group showed rTMS-induced deactivation of functional connectivity within the medial temporal lobe-AT network, with a negative correlation with episodic memory score changes. Moreover, the active rTMS lowers the interdependency of changes in the PM and AT networks. Finally, the Euclidean distance between the clinically applied and personalized target distances could predict subsequent network lever responses in the active rTMS group. CONCLUSIONS: Neuro-navigated rTMS selectively modulates widespread functional connectivity abnormalities in the PM and AT hippocampal networks in aMCI patients, and the modulation of hippocampal-AT network connectivity can efficiently reverse memory deficits. The results also highlight the necessity of personalized targets for fMRI.

RESUMEN

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated tumor cell death is a powerful anticancer strategy. Cuproptosis is a copper-dependent and ROS-mediated prospective tumor therapy strategy. However, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME), low tumor specificity, poor therapy efficiency, and lack of imaging capability impair the therapy output of current cuproptosis drugs. Herein, we designed a dual-responsive two-dimensional metal-organic framework (2D MOF) nanotheranostic via a coordination self-assembly strategy using Au(III) tetra-(4-pyridyl) porphine (AuTPyP) as the ligand and copper ions (Cu2+) as nodes. The dual-stimulus combined with the protonation of the pyridyl group in AuTPyP and deep-penetration ultrasound (US) together triggered the controlled release in an acidic TME. The ultrathin structure (3.0 nm) of nanotheranostics promoted the release process. The released Cu2+ was reduced to Cu+ by depleting the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor, which not only activated the Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1)-mediated cuproptosis but also catalyzed the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor into reactive oxygen species via Fenton-like reaction. Simultaneously, the released AuTPyP could specifically bind with thioredoxin reductase and activate the redox imbalance of tumor cells. These together selectively induced significant mitochondrial vacuoles and prominent tumor cell death but did not damage the normal cells. The fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results verified this nanotheranostic could target the HeLa tumor to greatly promote the self-enhanced effect of chemotherapy/cuproptosis and tumor inhibition efficiency. The work helped to elucidate the controlled assembly of multiresponsive nanotheranostics and the high-specificity ROS regulation for application in anticancer therapy.
