ABSTRACT
In mammal, the myocardium loss cannot be recovered spontaneously due to the negligible proliferation ability of mature mammalian cardiomyocyte. However, accumulated evidence has shown that terminally differentiated mammalian cardiomyocyte also has proliferation potency, which can be mediated by several mechanisms. Here, we reported that circNCX1, the most abundant circular RNA in mammalian hearts, can affect the proliferation of murine cardiomyocytes. The level of circNCX1 is significantly elevated during heart development. Forced expression of circNCX1 inhibits cardiomyocyte proliferation, while silencing of endogenous circNCX1 in cardiomyocyte shows reversed effect in vitro. Mechanistically, circNCX1 functions via negatively regulating transcription activator BRG1. It bridges BRG1 and FBXW7 to enhance the ubiquitination and degradation of BRG1, decreasing the expression of BMP10 to lead cell cycle arrest. In summary, our study first revealed that circNCX1 is a modulator of cardiomyocyte proliferation.

ABSTRACT
Very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) in children refers to an IBD with the onset age of less than 6 years old, clinically characterized by recurrent colitis, perianal lesions, and nutrient absorption disorders.Different from adults, single gene mutation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of VEO-IBD.To date, about 70 single gene defects have been identified involving the pathogenesis of VEO-IBD, including epithelial barrier, neutrophil and phagocyte function, immune cell selection and activation, immunosuppressive mechanism, or apoptosis.Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that regulates innate and adaptive immunity, influences the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules and the function of multiple immune cells, and plays a vital role in the development and progression of IBD.Patients with defects in the IL-10 signaling pathway (IL-10 or IL-10 receptor deficiency) may develop life-threatening colitis as early as childhood.This article reviews the progress in the pathogenesis and treatment of VEO-IBD caused by IL-10 signaling pathway defects.
ABSTRACT
With the advent of an aging society,Alzheimer's disease(AD)has gradually become a major ailment affecting the elderly.AD is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with cognitive impairments.In AD patients,brain network connections are disrupted,and their topological properties are also affected,leading to the disintegration of anatomical and functional connections.Anatomical connections can be tracked and evaluated using structural magnetic imaging(MRI)and diffusion tensor imaging(DTI),while functional connections are detected through functional MRI to assess their connectivity status.This review incorporates the findings of previous scholars and summarizes the current research of AD.It mainly discusses the imaging characteristics of large-scale brain network changes in AD patients,so as to provide researchers with scientific and objective imaging markers for AD prediction and early diagnosis,as well as future research.

ABSTRACT
@#Since the advent of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the selection of bypass conduits has always been one of the most controversial topics in this field. Arterial conduits have received extensive attention due to their excellent biological features and high patency. In recent years, the application of arterial grafting and total arterial grafting in China keeps increasing in recent years, but there is still a gap compared to the Europe and America. Previous clinical studies have indicated the benefits of the total arterial grafting in terms of patency and long-term outcomes, but the advantage of multiple arterial grafting over other procedures is still in need to be confirmed with high-quality randomized controlled trials. This article reviews the clinical application and strategy of total-arterial CABG, aiming to provide objective reference for future clinical research and application.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Findings on the association of genetic factors and colorectal cancer (CRC) survival are limited and inconsistent, and revealing the mechanism underlying their prognostic roles is of great importance. This study aimed to explore the relationship between functional genetic variations and the prognosis of CRC and further reveal the possible mechanism.@*METHODS@#We first systematically performed expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Then, the Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to filter out the survival-related eQTL target genes of CRC patients in two public datasets (TCGA and GSE39582 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database). The seven most potentially functional eQTL single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with six survival-related eQTL target genes were genotyped in 907 Chinese CRC patients with clinical prognosis data. The regulatory mechanism of the survival-related SNP was further confirmed by functional experiments.@*RESULTS@#The rs71630754 regulating the expression of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 ( ERAP1 ) was significantly associated with the prognosis of CRC (additive model, hazard ratio [HR]: 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08-1.88, P = 0.012). The results of dual-luciferase reporter assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that the A allele of the rs71630754 could increase the binding of transcription factor 3 (TCF3) and subsequently reduce the expression of ERAP1 . The results of bioinformatic analysis showed that lower expression of ERAP1 could affect the tumor immune microenvironment and was significantly associated with severe survival outcomes.@*CONCLUSION@#The rs71630754 could influence the prognosis of CRC patients by regulating the expression of the immune-related gene ERAP1 .@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#No. NCT00454519 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ ).

Yigongsan is derived from Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue written by QIAN Yi in the Northern Song dynasty, which is the No. 3 formula in the Catalogue of Ancient Famous Classical Formulas(The Second Batch of Pediatrics) released by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) in September 2022, and it can be developed as a class 3.1 new TCM drug. By referring to ancient medical books and modern literature, this study conducted herbal textual research on Yigongsan from five aspects, including historical evolution, origin and processing, dosage conversion, usage and preparation methods, and functional application, then formed the key information table of this formula, in order to provide reference for the development of reference samples and preparations of Yigongsan. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that Panax ginseng should be removed the basal part of stem(rhizoma), Poria cocos should be removed the peel, Citrus reticulata should be cut into shreds and Glycyrrhiza uralensis should be used. According to 4.13 g/Qian(钱), 1 g/slice for ginger, 3 g for each jujube and 300 mL/Zhan(盏), the doses of Ginseng Radix, Poria, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Jujubae Fructus were 1.652, 1.652, 1.652, 1.652, 1.652, 5, 6 g, and the total amount was 19.26 g. The decocting method was to crush the medicinal materials into fine powder with 50-80 mesh, add 300 mL of water and decoct to 210 mL for each dose, then remove the dregs and take it warmly. This formula was recorded in ancient books as the main treatment for the cold-deficiency of spleen and stomach, and Qi stagnation in children with vomiting and diarrhea and lack of appetite. It has been flexibly applied by later generations of physicians, and is often used to treat anorexia, inflammation of the digestive tract, diarrhea and other diseases in children.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the prediction of the tumor proliferation antigen(Ki-67) expression status in breast cancer patients based on ultrasound radiomics combined with clinicopathologic features.Methods:Breast cancer patients who underwent 2D ultrasound and Ki-67 examination from January 2018 to February 2022 in Changzhou Second People′s Hospital, Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 427 patients from Chengzhong campus were randomly divided into training and validation sets in the ratio of 8∶2, and 229 patients from Yanghu campus were used as an independent external test set. Radiomics features were extracted from the region of interest of 2D ultrasound images, and the Mann-Whitney U test, recursive feature elimination, and minimum absolute shrinkage and selection operators were used to perform feature dimensionality reduction and to establish a radiomics score(Rad-score). Subsequently, single/multifactor logistic regression regression analyses were used to construct a joint prediction model based on Rad-score and clinicopathological features. Model performance and utility were assessed using the subject operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analyses. Results:The AUCs of the joint model for predicting Ki-67 expression status in breast cancer in the training, validation, and test sets were 0.858, 0.797, and 0.802, respectively, which were superior to those of the radiomics (0.772, 0.731, and 0.713) and clinical models (0.738, 0.750, and 0.707). Calibration curve and decision curve analyses indicated that the joint model had good calibration and clinical value.Conclusions:A joint model based on ultrasound radiomics and clinicopathological features can effectively predict the Ki-67 expression status of breast cancer, which is expected to become a non-invasive tool for Ki-67 detection and provide clinicians with an important auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making basis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of 3D reconstruction techniques based on multi-depth cameras for daily patient positioning in radiotherapy.Methods:Through region of interest (ROI) extraction, filtering, registration, splicing and other processes, multi-depth cameras (Intel RealSense D435i) were used to fuse point clouds in real-time manner to obtain the real optical 3D surface of patients. The reconstructed surface was matched with the external contour of the localization CT to complete the positioning. In this article, the feasibility of the system was validated by using multiple models. Clinical feasibility of 5 patients with head and neck radiotherapy, 10 cases of chest radiotherapy and 5 cases of pelvic radiotherapy was also validated. The data of each group were analyzed by paired t-test. Results:The system running time was 0.475 s, which met the requirement of real-time monitoring. The six-dimensional registration errors in the model experiment were (1.00±0.74) mm, (1.69±0.69) mm, (1.36±0.87) mm, 0.15°±0.14°, 0.25°±0.20°, 0.13°±0.13° in the x, y, z, rotational, pitch and roll directions, respectively. In the actual patient positioning, the mean positioning errors were (0.77±0.51) mm, (1.24±0.67) mm, (0.94±0.76) mm, 0.61°±0.41°, 0.69°±0.55°, and 0.52°±0.35° in the x, y, z, rotational, pitch and roll directions, respectively. The translational error was less than 2.8 mm, and the positioning error was the largest in the pelvic region. Conclusions:Real-time 3D reconstruction techniques based on multi-depth cameras is applicable for patient positioning during radiotherapy. The method is accurate in positioning and can detect the small movement of the patient's position, which meets the requirements of radiotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct and purify four respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) PreF proteins through gene sequence design and optimization and evaluate their immunogenicity.Methods:Coronin-1A and T4 trimer protein gene sequences were optimized with Human and CHO codons, and then added to RSV F protein sequence. The above plasmids were transfected into Expi293F cells for protein expression. After purification by nickel column, four trimer proteins were prepared. SDS-PAGE and Western blot were performed for protein identification. BALB/c mice were immunized at week 0 and week 3, and blood samples were collected to measure the activities of binding and neutralizing antibodies in serum.Results:SDS-PAGE and Western blot showed that the four proteins had stable trimer structure. Antigen-antibody affinity test showed that the four trimer proteins had strong affinity with RSV-specific monoclonal antibodies 8897, D25, Motavizumab, AM14 and Palivizumab. The titers of antibodies induced by the two T4 trimers were higher after the initial immunization, while there was a substantial increase in the titers of antibodies induced by Human codon-optimized trimer protein after the second immunization.Conclusions:PreF trimer protein can be prepared by adding any of the two different heterotrimer motifs, and induce effective binding and neutralizing antibodies in mice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the immunogenicity of the prefusion (PreF) and postfusion (PostF) conformations of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein.Methods:The expression of PreF and PostF recombinant proteins was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The binding affinity between F protein and its specific antibodies was detected by Octet. The binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies in immune serum were detected after immunizing mice with PreF or PostF recombinant protein.Results:PreF protein was stable in the form of a trimer after modification with higher binding affinity with monoclonal antibodies such as D25, 8897, AM14, Palivizumab and Motavizumab. PostF protein lacked the antigenic site ? and showed a monomer conformation. Besides, it was unable to bind to D25, 8897 and AM14 antibodies. Animal experiments showed that AS01 adjuvant was better than aluminum adjuvant in inducing binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against RSV Long strains. The binding antibodies induced by PreF and PostF recombinant proteins had similar binding ability to PreF protein, while the binding antibodies induced by PostF recombinant protein showed stronger binding ability to PostF than to PreF.Conclusions:PreF has more epitopes and the trimer form of PreF recombinant protein after modification is more stable and can induce stronger neutralizing antibodies. Moreover, the immunopotentiating effect of AS01 adjuvant is better than that of aluminum adjuvant. Therefore, stabilization-based trimer structure modification of PreF and the development of adjuvants are crucial for the development of RSV vaccines.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the association between daily executive function and core symptoms, the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the moderating effect of theory of mind and other cognitive abilities on this association. MethodsChildren aged 6-12 years with ASD were recruited, and 86 children were identified according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-Ⅳ), Strange Story Test (SST) and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) were used to evaluate children's cognitive ability. Swanson Nolan and Pelham-Version Ⅳ Scale (SNAP-Ⅳ), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), and Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revise (RBS-R) were used to assess the severity of ADHD symptoms, social impairment, and repetitive stereotyped behavior. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the association between daily executive function and ADHD symptoms, social impairment, repetitive stereotyped behaviors. ResultsAfter controlling for the score of strange stories, verbal comprehension index (VCI) and other factors, the full scale score and each index of BRIEF were positively correlated with full scale score of SNAP (b = 0.619-0.741, b’ = 0.637-0.755), SRS (b = 0.928-1.200, b’ = 0.417-0.513) and RBS-R (b = 0.326-0.525, b’ = 0.339-0.520) in children with ASD (P< 0.05), and the SNAP total score was more strongly correlated with the full scale BRIEF score and each index score (b’ = 0.637-0.755,P< 0.01). In addition to daily executive function, strange stories score (b = -2.218- -1.839) and age (b = 3.181-4.037) were also the important factors affecting the social function of children with ASD (P< 0.01). There were no moderating effects of strange stories score and age on the association between BRIEF score and full scale score of SNAP, SRS, and RBS-R(P> 0.05). ConclusionThe deficits of daily executive function in school-aged ASD children are significantly associated with core symptoms and ADHD symptoms, and the association is independent of other cognitive domains, such as theory of mind and verbal comprehension intelligence quotient.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct a C57BL/6 mouse model of simulating transurethral thulium laser vaporization prostatectomy.Methods:Twelve male C57BL/6 mice were selected to undergo transvesical vaporization resection of the urothelium covering the urethra of the prostate using thulium laser. The urethral tissue of the prostate was retrieved on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days after the surgery. HE staining was used to observe the process of re-epithelialization of the urethral wound of the prostate. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was used to detect whether the re-epithelialized cells of the urethral wound of the prostate expressed urothelin Ⅲ (UPⅢ).Results:On the first day after surgery, HE staining showed complete destruction to the urothelium covering the urethra of the prostate, with a large amount of coagulative necrotic tissue on the wound surface, and IHC staining showed no expression of UPⅢ on the wound surface. On the 3rd day after surgery, HE staining showed that there were still no regenerated epithelial cells on the wound surface, with coagulation necrosis tissue significantly reduced, and the urethral cavity was clearly visible. And IHC staining showed no expression of UPⅢ on the wound surface. On the 5th day after surgery, HE staining showed 1-2 layers of regenerated epithelial cells lacking cell polarity on the wound surface, and IHC staining showed that the regenerated epithelial cells expressed UPⅢ. On the 7th day after surgery, HE staining showed 4-6 layers of polar regenerated epithelial cells on the wound surface, and IHC staining showed the multiple layers of regenerated epithelial cells expressing UPⅢ.Conclusions:Based on the simulation of transurethral thulium laser vaporization resection of the prostate, the thulium laser and ultra micro endoscope system were used to vaporize the urothelium covering the urethra of the prostate, and the process of urethral re-epithelialization of the prostate can be observed after surgery. The establishment of the C57BL/6 mouse model simulating thulium laser vaporization prostatectomy provides a new research platform for studying the mechanism of wound repair after prostatectomy.
