RESUMO

Genomic prediction (GP) uses single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to establish associations between markers and phenotypes. Selection of early individuals by genomic estimated breeding value shortens the generation interval and speeds up the breeding process. Recently, methods based on deep learning (DL) have gained great attention in the field of GP. In this study, we explore the application of Transformer-based structures to GP and develop a novel deep-learning model named GPformer. GPformer obtains a global view by gleaning beneficial information from all relevant SNPs regardless of the physical distance between SNPs. Comprehensive experimental results on five different crop datasets show that GPformer outperforms ridge regression-based linear unbiased prediction (RR-BLUP), support vector regression (SVR), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) and deep neural network genomic prediction (DNNGP) in terms of mean absolute error, Pearson's correlation coefficient and the proposed metric consistent index. Furthermore, we introduce a knowledge-guided module (KGM) to extract genome-wide association studies-based information, which is fused into GPformer as prior knowledge. KGM is very flexible and can be plugged into any DL network. Ablation studies of KGM on three datasets illustrate the efficiency of KGM adequately. Moreover, GPformer is robust and stable to hyperparameters and can generalize to each phenotype of every dataset, which is suitable for practical application scenarios.

RESUMO

High soil salinity negatively affects plant growth and development, leading to a severe decrease in crop production worldwide. Here, we report that a secreted peptide, PAMP-INDUCED SECRETED PEPTIDE 3 (PIP3), plays an essential role in plant salt tolerance through RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 7 (RLK7) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The gene encoding the PIP3 precursor, prePIP3, was significantly induced by salt stress. Plants overexpressing prePIP3 exhibited enhanced salt tolerance, whereas a prePIP3 knockout mutant had a salt-sensitive phenotype. PIP3 physically interacted with RLK7, a leucine-rich repeat RLK, and salt stress enhanced PIP3-RLK7 complex formation. Functional analyses revealed that PIP3-mediated salt tolerance is dependent on RLK7. Exogenous application of synthetic PIP3 peptide activated RLK7, and salt treatment significantly induced RLK7 phosphorylation in a PIP3-dependent manner. Notably, MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE3 (MPK3) and MPK6 were downstream of the PIP3-RLK7 module in salt response signaling. Activation of MPK3/6 was attenuated in pip3 or rlk7 mutants under saline conditions. Therefore, MPK3/6 might amplify salt stress response signaling in plants for salt tolerance. Collectively, our work characterized a novel ligand-receptor signaling cascade that modulates plant salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. This study contributes to our understanding of how plants respond to salt stress.

RESUMO

Itching is an aversive somatosensation that triggers the desire to scratch. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channel proteins are key players in acute and chronic itch. However, whether the modulatory effect of fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) on acute and chronic itch is associated with TRP channel proteins is unclear. Here, we demonstrated that conditional knockout of Fgf13 in dorsal root ganglion neurons induced significant impairment in scratching behaviors in response to acute histamine-dependent and chronic dry skin itch models. Furthermore, FGF13 selectively regulated the function of the TRPV1, but not the TRPA1 channel on Ca2+ imaging and electrophysiological recordings, as demonstrated by a significant reduction in neuronal excitability and current density induced by TRPV1 channel activation, whereas TRPA1 channel activation had no effect. Changes in channel currents were also verified in HEK cell lines. Subsequently, we observed that selective modulation of TRPV1 by FGF13 required its microtubule-stabilizing effect. Furthermore, in FGF13 knockout mice, only the overexpression of FGF13 with a tubulin-binding domain could rescue TRP channel function and the impaired itch behavior. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism by which FGF13 is involved in TRPV1-dependent itch transduction and provide valuable clues for alleviating pathological itch syndrome.

RESUMO

Over the last few decades, various forms of regulated cell death (RCD) have been discovered and were found to improve cancer treatment. Although there are several reviews on RCD induced by photodynamic therapy (PDT), a comprehensive summary covering metal-based photosensitizers (PSs) as RCD inducers has not yet been presented. In this review, we systematically summarize the works on metal-based PSs that induce different types of RCD, including ferroptosis, immunogenic cell death (ICD), and pyroptosis. The characteristics and mechanisms of each RCD are explained. At the end of each section, a summary of the reported commonalities between different metal-based PSs inducing the same RCD is emphasized, and future perspectives on metal-based PSs inducing novel forms of RCD are discussed at the end of the review. Considering the essential roles of metal-based PSs and RCD in cancer therapy, we hope that this review will provide the stage for future advances in metal-based PSs as RCD inducers.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Despite familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) being the most common genetic cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), genetic testing is rarely utilized in the US. This review summarizes what is known about the clinical utility of genetic testing and its role in the diagnosis and screening of FH. RECENT FINDINGS: The presence of an FH-causative variant is associated with a substantially higher risk of CVD, even when low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are only modestly elevated. Genetic testing can facilitate the identification of FH cases who may be missed by clinical diagnostic criteria, improve risk stratification beyond LDL-C and family history, guide treatment decisions, and improve treatment initiation and adherence. Genetic testing can be incorporated into FH screening and diagnosis algorithms, including cascade, targeted, and universal screening. Integrating genetic testing into cascade screening can enhance the effectiveness of the process. Several models of universal FH screening with coordinated genetic and lipid testing are feasible and effective. SUMMARY: More systematic integration of genetic testing into FH diagnosis and screening can significantly reduce the burden of this condition through early detection and treatment. Further pragmatic implementation studies are needed to determine how to more effectively and affordably integrate genetic testing into clinical lipid screening programs.

RESUMO

Diabetes is linked to male infertility, but the mechanisms and therapeutic options remain unclear. This study investigates the effects of semaglutide on testicular function in a diabetes mouse model. Clinical data shows that diabetes affects blood glucose, lipid levels, and sperm quality. Single-cell and transcriptome analyses reveal changes in testicular tissue cell proportions and activation of ferroptosis pathways in diabetic patients/rats. In the diabetes mouse model, sperm quality decreases significantly. Treatment with semaglutide (Sem) and the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) alleviates testicular damage, as evidenced by improved lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis markers. Moreover, the diabetes-induced decrease in the TM-3 cell line's vitality, increased lipid peroxidation, ROS, ferrous ions, and mitochondrial membrane potential damage are all improved by semaglutide and ferrostatin-1 intervention. Overall, these findings highlight semaglutide's potential as a therapeutic approach for mitigating diabetes-induced testicular damage through modulation of the ferroptosis pathway.

RESUMO

In contrast to conventional emitters fashioned from traditional materials, tunable thermal emitters exhibit a distinct propensity to fulfill the demands of diverse scenarios, thereby engendering an array of prospects within the realms of communications, military applications, and control systems. In this paper, a tunable thermal emitter without continuous external excitation is introduced using Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) and high-temperature-resistant material Mo. It is automatically optimized by inverse design with genetic algorithm (GA) to switch between different functions according to the object temperature to adapt to diverse scenarios. In "off" mode, the emitter orchestrates a blend of infrared (IR) stealth and thermal management. This is evidenced by average absorptivity values of 0.08 for mid-wave infrared (MIR, 3-5 µm), 0.19 for long-wave infrared (LIR, 8-14 µm), and 0.68 for the non-atmospheric window (NAW, 5-8 µm). Conversely, when confronted with high-temperature entities, the emitter seamlessly transitions to "on" mode, instigating a process of radiative cooling. This transformation is reflected in the augmented emissivity of the dual-band atmospheric window including MIR and LIR, attaining peak values of 0.96 and 0.97. This transition yields a cooling potential, quantified at 64 W/m2 at the ambient temperature of 25°C. In addition, our design employs a layered structure, which avoids complex patterned resonators and facilitates large-area fabrication. The emitter in this paper evinces robust insensitivity to polarization variations and the angle of incidence. We believe that this work will contribute to the development in the fields of dynamic tunability for IR stealth, dynamic radiative cooling systems, and thermal imaging.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Frailty not only affects disease survival but also impacts the long-term function and quality life of all adults diagnosed with and/or treated for cancer.The American Heart Association has introduced Life's Essential 8 (LE8) as a novel metric for assessing cardiovascular health. Currently, LE8's application in evaluating the frailty of cancer survivors remains unreported. This research seeks to explore the connection between LE8 scores and frailty levels in cancer survivors across the United States, thereby addressing a significant void in existing studies. METHODS: This study analyzed data from cancer survivors enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) spanning the years 2005 to 2018, providing a comprehensive dataset. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the linkage between LE8 rankings and frailty condition in cancer survivors. Furthermore, the study delved deeper into this correlation using restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves and subgroup analyses. RESULTS: In the fully adjusted model, an increased LE8 level was closely associated with a reduced odds ratio of frailty among cancer survivors, with an OR of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.94-0.96, p < 0.0001).This pattern persisted across different categorizations of LE8 into low, moderate, and high groups, demonstrating a consistent trend. The analysis revealed a non-linear relationship between LE8 scores and frailty status, further supporting a straightforward association (p-value for non-linearity = 0.0729). CONCLUSION: Studies have found that the higher the LE8 score, the less likely a cancer patient is to develop debilitating symptoms.This indicates that the LE8 scores may provide an opportunity for interventions aimed at improving the prognosis of cancer patients.

RESUMO

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) isoform 13, a distinct type of FGF, boasts significant potential for therapeutic intervention in cardiovascular dysfunctions. However, its impact on regulating fibrosis remains unexplored. This study aims to elucidate the role and mechanism of FGF13 on cardiac fibrosis. Here, we show that following transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery, interstitial fibrosis and collagen content increase in mice, along with reduced ejection fraction and fractional shortening, augmented heart mass. However, following Fgf13 deletion, interstitial fibrosis is decreased, ejection fraction and fractional shortening are increased, and heart mass is decreased, compared with those in the TAC group. Mechanistically, incubation of cardiac fibroblasts with transforming growth factor ß (TGFß) increases the expressions of types I and III collagen proteins, as well as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) proteins, and enhances fibroblast proliferation and migration. In the absence of Fgf13, the expressions of these proteins are decreased, and fibroblast proliferation and migration are suppressed, compared with those in the TGFß-stimulated group. Overexpression of FGF13, but not FGF13 mutants defective in microtubule binding and stabilization, rescues the decrease in collagen and α-SMA protein and weakens the proliferation and migration function of the Fgf13 knockdown group. Furthermore, Fgf13 knockdown decreases ROCK protein expression via microtubule disruption. Collectively, cardiac Fgf13 knockdown protects the heart from fibrosis in response to haemodynamic stress by modulating microtubule stabilization and ROCK signaling pathway.

RESUMO

We evaluated the potential for a monoclonal antibody antagonist of the glucagon receptor (Ab-4) to maintain glucose homeostasis in type 1 diabetic rodents. We noted durable and sustained improvements in glycemia which persist long after treatment withdrawal. Ab-4 promoted ß-cell survival and enhanced the recovery of insulin+ islet mass with concomitant increases in circulating insulin and C peptide. In PANIC-ATTAC mice, an inducible model of ß-cell apoptosis which allows for robust assessment of ß-cell regeneration following caspase-8-induced diabetes, Ab-4 drove a 6.7-fold increase in ß-cell mass. Lineage tracing suggests that this restoration of functional insulin-producing cells was at least partially driven by α-cell-to-ß-cell conversion. Following hyperglycemic onset in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, Ab-4 treatment promoted improvements in C-peptide levels and insulin+ islet mass was dramatically increased. Lastly, diabetic mice receiving human islet xenografts showed stable improvements in glycemic control and increased human insulin secretion.

RESUMO

Floods impose detrimental effects on natural and agro-ecosystems, leading to a significant loss of worldwide crop production. Global climate change has even worsened this situation. Flooding is a continuous process including two stages of submergence and re-oxygenation, and both are harmful to plant growth and development, resulting in a serious decline in crop yield. Therefore, the understanding of plant flooding tolerance and developing flooding-resistant crops are of great significance. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) R2R3-MYB transcription factor MYB30 participates in plant submergence response through 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase 7 (ACS7) by repressing ethylene (ET) biosynthesis. The MYB30 loss-of-function mutant exhibits reduced submergence tolerance with a higher level of ET production, whereas the MYB30-overexpressing plant displays enhanced submergence tolerance and repressed ET production. The coding gene of ACS7 might be a direct target of MYB30 during the submergence response. MYB30 binds to the promoter of ACS7 and represses its transcription. The ACS7 loss-of-function mutant with defect in ET biosynthesis displays enhanced submergence tolerance, whereas plants overexpressing ACS7 exhibit a submergence-sensitive phenotype. Genetic analysis shows that ACS7 functions downstream of MYB30 in both ET biosynthesis and submergence response. Taken together, our work revealed a novel transcriptional regulation that modulates submergence response in plants.

RESUMO

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent lipid-peroxidation-driven mechanism of cell death and a promising therapeutic target to eradicate cancer cells. In this study, we discovered that boronic acid-derived salicylidenehydrazone (BASHY) dyes are highly efficient singlet-oxygen photosensitizers (PSs; ΦΔ up to 0.8) that induce ferroptosis triggered by photodynamic therapy. The best-performing BASHY dye displayed a high phototoxicity against the human glioblastoma multiform U87 cell line, with an IC50 value in the low nanomolar range (4.40 nM) and a remarkable phototoxicity index (PI > 22,700). Importantly, BASHY dyes were shown to accumulate in lipid droplets (LDs) and this intracellular partition was found to be essential for the enhanced phototoxicity and the induction of ferroptosis through lipid peroxidation. The safety and phototoxicity of this platform were validated using an in vivo zebrafish model (Danio rerio).

RESUMO

In recent years, structural color has developed rapidly due to its distinct advantages, such as low loss, high spatial resolution and environmental friendliness. Various inverse design methods have been extensively investigated to efficiently design optical structures. However, the optimization method for the inverse design of structural color remains a formidable challenge. Traditional optimization approaches, such as genetic algorithms require time-consuming repetitions of structural simulations. Deep learning-assisted design necessitates prior simulations and large amounts of data, making it less efficient for systems with a small number of features. This study proposes a tensor completion algorithm capable of swiftly and accurately predicting missing datasets based on partially obtained datasets to assist in structural color design. Transforming the complex physical problem of structural color design into a spatial structure relationship problem linking geometric parameters and spectral data. The method utilizes tensor multilinear data analysis to effectively capture the complex relationships associated with geometric parameters and spectral data in higher-order data. Numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm exhibits high reliability in terms of speed and accuracy for diverse structures, datasets of varying sizes, and different materials, significantly enhancing design efficiency. The proposed algorithm offers a viable solution for inverse design problems involving complex physical systems, thereby introducing a novel approach to the design of photonic devices. Additionally, numerical experiments illustrate that the structural color of cruciform resonators with diamond can overcome the high loss issues observed in traditional dielectric materials within the blue wavelength region and enhance the corrosion resistance of the structure. We achieve a wide color gamut and a high-narrow reflection spectrum nearing 1 by this structure, and the theoretical analysis further verifies that diamond holds great promise in the realm of optics.

RESUMO

Infrared (IR) thermal camouflage and management are deeply desirable in the field of military and astronomy. While IR compatible with laser camouflage technology is extensively studied to counter modern detection systems, most existing strategies for visible light camouflage focus on color matching, which is not suitable for scenarios requiring transparency. In this work, we propose an optically transparent metamaterial with multi-band compatible camouflage capability based on the inverse design. The metamaterial consists of Ag grating, Si3N4 dielectric spacer layer, Ag reflection layer, and Si3N4 anti-reflective layer. An ideal multi-band compatible spectrum is involved in the inverse design algorithm. Calculated results demonstrate high transmittance (T0.38-0.78µm = 0.70) in the visible region, low reflectance (R1.55µm = 0.01) in laser working wavelength, high reflectance (R3-5µm = 0.86 and R8-14µm = 0.92) in the dual-band atmospheric window, and high emissivity (ɛ5-8µm = 0.61) for the non-atmospheric window. The radiative heat flux in the detected band is 31W/m2 and 201W/m2 respectively. Furthermore, the incident and polarized insensitivity of the proposed metamaterial supports applicability for practical situations. This work, emphasizes an effective strategy for conducting optically transparent design with compatible IR-laser camouflage as well as radiative cooling properties by an automated design approach.

RESUMO

Blindly increasing the channels of the mode (de)multiplexer on the single-layer chip can cause the device structure to be too complex to optimize. The three-dimensional (3D) mode division multiplexing (MDM) technology is a potential solution to extend the data capacity of the photonic integrated circuit by assembling the simple devices in the 3D space. In our work, we propose a 16 × 16 3D MDM system with a compact footprint of about 100 µm × 5.0 µm × 3.7 µm. It can realize 256 mode routes by converting the fundamental transverse electric (TE0) modes in arbitrary input waveguides into the expected modes in arbitrary output waveguides. To illustrate its mode-routing principle, the TE0 mode is launched in one of the sixteen input waveguides, and converted into corresponding modes in four output waveguides. The simulated results indicate that the ILs and CTs of the 16 × 16 3D MDM system are less than 3.5 dB and lower than -14.2 dB at 1550 nm, respectively. In principle, the 3D design architecture can be scaled to realize arbitrary network complexity levels.

RESUMO

Inconsistencies are evident within the literature regarding the role of Green Tea (GT) supplementation on women living with obesity. To address this, we conducted to determine the impact of GT supplementation on the weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) in overweight and obese women using time and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This meta-analysis searched electronic Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed/Medline databases from inception to December 1st, 2022. Data were reported as weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). A total of 2061 references were identified, and 15 articles with 16 RCT arms on body weight, 17 RCT arms on BMI, and 7 RCT arms on WC were included in the meta-analysis. GT supplementation significantly decreases body weight (WMD: -1.23 kg, 95% CI: -2.13 to -0.33, p = 0.007), BMI (WMD: -0.47 kg/m2, 95% CI: -0.87 to -0.07, p = 0.020) and WC (WMD: -3.46 cm, 95% CI: -6.75 to -0.16, p = 0.040). In subgroup analyses, GT consumption demonstrated lowered body weight with dosaes ≥1000 mg/day (WMD: -1.38 kg), in the RCTs, which lasted ≥8 wk (WMD: -1.24 kg). The non-linear dose-response assessment detected a negative correlation between the changes in body weight and BMI in green tea consumption of more than 1000 (mg/day). The GT supplementation reduced the weight, BMI, and WC in overweight and obese women. In clinical practice, healthcare professionals can recommend using GT with dosages ≥ 1000mg/day and duration ≥ 8 wk in obese women.

RESUMO

Low fruit and vegetable (FV) intake and high sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption are independently associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Many people in New York City (NYC) have low FV intake and high SSB consumption, partly due to high cost of fresh FVs and low cost of and easy access to SSBs. A potential implementation of an SSB tax and an FV subsidy program could result in substantial public health and economic benefits. We used a validated microsimulation model for predicting CVD events to estimate the health impact and cost-effectiveness of SSB taxes, FV subsidies, and funding FV subsidies with an SSB tax in NYC. Population demographics and health profiles were estimated using data from the NYC Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Policy effects and price elasticity were derived from recent meta-analyses. We found that funding FV subsidies with an SSB tax was projected to be the most cost-effective policy from the healthcare sector perspective. From the societal perspective, the most cost-effective policy was SSB taxes. All policy scenarios could prevent more CVD events and save more healthcare costs among men compared to women, and among Black vs. White adults. Public health practitioners and policymakers may want to consider adopting this combination of policy actions, while weighing feasibility considerations and other unintended consequences.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study validated incident and recurrent ischemic stroke identified by International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10) hospital discharge diagnosis codes. METHODS: Using electronic health records (EHR) of adults (≥18 years) receiving care from Kaiser Permanente Southern California with ICD-10 hospital discharge diagnosis codes of ischemic stroke (I63.x, G46.3, and G46.4) between October 2015 and September 2020, we identified 75 patients with both incident and recurrent stroke events (total 150 cases). Two neurologists independently evaluated validity of ICD-10 codes through chart reviews. RESULTS: The positive predictive value (PPV, 95% CI) for incident stroke was 93% (95% CI: 88%, 99%) and the PPV for recurrent stroke was 72% (95% CI: 62%, 82%). The PPV for recurrent stroke improved after applying a gap of 20 days (PPV of 75%; 95% CI: 63%, 87%) or removing hospital admissions related to stroke-related procedures (PPV of 78%; 95% CI: 68%, 88%). CONCLUSION: The ICD-10 hospital discharge diagnosis codes for ischemic stroke showed a high PPV for incident cases, while the PPV for recurrent cases were less optimal.

RESUMO

In the rosacea an unstable skin microbiota is significant for disease progression. However, data on the influence on the skin microbiota of treatment with systemic antibiotics are limited. This single-arm trial recruited patients with rosacea. Oral minocycline 50 mg was administered twice daily for 6 weeks. The lesions on the cheek and nose were sampled for 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and metagenomic sequencing at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks of treatment. Physiological parameters were detected using non-invasive instruments. After treatment, distribution of the Investigator Global Assessment scores changed significantly. For the skin microbiota, a notable increase in α-diversity and a shift of structure were observed after treatment. Treatment was accompanied by a reduction in the relative abundance of Cutibacterium and Staphylococcus, indicating negative correlations with increased bacterial metabolic pathways, such as butyrate synthesis and L-tryptophan degradation. The increased butyrate and tryptophan metabolites would be conducive to inhibiting skin inflammation and promoting skin barrier repair. In addition, the abundance of skin bacterial genes related to tetracycline resistance and multidrug resistance increased notably after antibiotic treatment.

RESUMO

Reconstruction of multiple objects from one hologram can be affected by the focus metric judgment of autofocusing. Various segmentation algorithms are applied to obtain a single object in the hologram. Each object is unambiguously reconstructed to acquire its focal position, which produces complicated calculations. Herein, Hough transform (HT)-based multi-object autofocusing compressive holography is presented. The sharpness of each reconstructed image is computed by using a focus metric such as entropy or variance. According to the characteristics of the object, the standard HT is further used for calibration to remove redundant extreme points. The compressive holographic imaging framework with a filter layer can eliminate the inherent noise in in-line reconstruction including cross talk noise of different depth layers, two-order noise, and twin image noise. The proposed method can effectively obtain 3D information on multiple objects and achieve noise elimination by only reconstructing from one hologram.
