RESUMEN
Identification of potential bacterial players in colorectal tumorigenesis has been a focus of intense research. Herein, we find that Clostridium symbiosum (C. symbiosum) is selectively enriched in tumor tissues of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with higher colorectal adenoma recurrence after endoscopic polypectomy. The tumorigenic effect of C. symbiosum is observed in multiple murine models. Single-cell transcriptome profiling along with functional assays demonstrates that C. symbiosum promotes the proliferation of colonic stem cells and enhances cancer stemness. Mechanistically, C. symbiosum intensifies cellular cholesterol synthesis by producing branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which sequentially activates Sonic hedgehog signaling. Low dietary BCAA intake or blockade of cholesterol synthesis by statins could partially abrogate the C. symbiosum-induced cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, we reveal C. symbiosum as a bacterial driver of colorectal tumorigenesis, thus identifying a potential target in CRC prediction, prevention, and treatment.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: To investigate the association of parameters related to accommodation and convergence and axial elongation in basic intermittent exotropia (IXT) patients and the potential clinical predictors of axial length (AL) growth. METHODS: A total of 140 basic IXT patients were recruited in this study. The medians of AL growth in different age brackets were chosen to divide the subjects into Group A (slower axial elongation group, n=69) and Group B (faster axial elongation group, n=71). Parameters of dominant and nondominant eyes were compared and analyzed during the 12-month follow-up period. The parameters, including baseline refraction, angle of deviation, Newcastle score (NCS), accommodative amplitude (AMP), accommodative facility (AMF), accommodative response, positive or negative relative accommodation (PRA/NRA), and near point of convergence (NPC), were analyzed via univariate and multivariate regression. RESULTS: Subjects in faster axial elongation group tended to have more myopic spherical equivalents (t=3.956, P<.001), greater accommodative amplitudes of dominant eyes (t=-2.238, P=.027) and less near points of convergence (t=2.347, P=.020) than in slower axial elongation group. For dominant eyes, logistic and linear regression analysis revealed that more negative spherical equivalents (OR=0.603, P<.001; ß=-0.045, P<.001), greater accommodative amplitudes (OR=1.201, P=.027; ß=0.023, P=.010) and less near points of convergence (OR=0.883, P=.021; ß=-0.012, P=.019) were correlated with the faster axial elongation. For nondominant eyes, more myopic spherical equivalent (OR=0.682; P=.001; ß=-0.029, P=.005) was the only parameter correlated with faster axial elongation through regression analysis. CONCLUSION: In children with basic intermittent exotropia, faster axial elongation in the dominant eyes were associated with more myopic spherical equivalents, greater accommodative amplitudes, and lower near points of convergence. These accommodative parameters can serve as potential clinical indicators for monitoring myopia progression in addition to axial length.
RESUMEN
Mild and inexpensive copper-catalyzed aromatization-driven ring-opening amination and oxygenation of spiro dihydroquinazolinones are presented, respectively. These protocols provide facile and atom-economical access to the aminated and the carbonyl-containing quinazolin-4(3H)-ones in good yields with good functional group compatibility, which are difficult to obtain by conventional methods. Remarkably, a telescoped procedure involving the condensation and the ring-opening/functionalization for simple cycloalkanone was found to be accessible. Mechanistic studies suggest a radical pathway for this transformation.
RESUMEN
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant cancers with rapid progression and poor prognosis. The use of transcriptional data can be effective in finding new biomarkers for pancreatic cancer. Many network-based methods used to identify cancer biomarkers are proposed, among which the combination of network controllability appears. However, most of the existing methods do not study RNA, rely on priori and mutations information, or can only achieve classification tasks. In this study, we propose a method combined Relational Graph Convolutional Network and Deep Q-Network called RDDriver to identify pancreatic cancer biomarkers based on multi-layer heterogeneous transcriptional regulation network. Firstly, we construct a regulation network containing long non-coding RNA, microRNA, and messenger RNA. Secondly, Relational Graph Convolutional Network is used to learn the node representation. Finally, we use the idea of Deep Q-Network to build a model, which score and prioritize each RNA with the Popov-Belevitch-Hautus criterion. We train RDDriver on three small simulated networks, and calculate the average score after applying the model parameters to the regulation networks separately. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, we perform experiments for comparison between RDDriver and other eight methods based on the approximate benchmark of three types cancer drivers RNAs.
RESUMEN
In this study, Brassica chinensis L seedlings after 6 weeks of soil cultivation were treated with foliar application of TiO2 NPs (20 mg/L) for different times. Transcriptomics analysis was employed to investigate the impact of TiO2 NPs on the physiology, growth, and yield of B. chinensis L. Results showed that TiO2 NPs' exposure significantly increased the biomass, total phosphorus, and catalase enzyme activity by 23.60, 23.72, and 44.01%, respectively, compared to the untreated ones (not bulk or ion).TiO2 NPs increased the leaf chlorophyll content by 4.9% and photosynthetic rate by 16.62%, which was attributed to the upregulated expression of seven genes (PetH, PetF, PsaF, PsbA, PsbB, PsbD, and Lhcb) associated with electron transport in photosystem I and light-harvesting in leaves. The water balance of B. chinensis was improved correlating with the altered expressions of 19 aquaporin genes (e.g., PIP2;1 and NIP6;1). The expressions of 58 genes related to plant hormone signaling and growth were dysregulated, with notable downregulations in GA20, SnRK2, and PP2C and upregulations of DELLAs, SAM, and ETR. Moreover, the 11 tricarboxylic acid cycle genes and 13 glycolysis genes appear to stimulate pathways involved in promoting the growth and physiology of B. chinensis. This research contributes valuable insights into new strategies for increasing the yield of B. chinensis.
RESUMEN
This review aimed to explore the therapeutic effect of bioabsorbable stents in the inferior genicular artery, from the emergence of absorbable bare metal stents to the latest technology in polymer and anti-proliferative eluting drugs mixed with coated bioresorbable vascular stents (BVSs). Currently, there are conflicting data regarding the safety and effectiveness of BVSs in infrapopliteal artery interventions, especially compared to the current generation of drug-eluting stents (DESs). This review will cover the existing data on BVSs in reconstructing the infrapopliteal arterial blood flow and active clinical trials for future iterations of BVSs. In terms of primary patency rate and target lesion revascularization rate, the available research on the effectiveness of BVSs in reconstructing the infrapopliteal arterial blood flow suggests that a BVS is compatible with current DESs within 3-12 months; long-term data have not yet been reported. The ABSORB BVS is the most studied BVS in cardiovascular disease (CAD). Initially, the ABSORB BVS showed promising results. Managing intricate regions in peripheral artery disorders, such as branching or lengthy lesions, continues to be a formidable undertaking. In contrast to the advanced narrowing of arteries seen in standard permanent stent procedures, bioabsorbable stents have the potential to promote the expansion and beneficial merging of blood channels in the latter stages. Furthermore, incorporating stents and re-establishing the endothelial function can diminish the probability of restenosis or thrombosis. Nevertheless, the extent to which bioabsorbable stents may simultaneously preserve arterial patency and guarantee their structural integrity remains uncertain. The powerful and intricate mechanical stresses exerted by the blood in the superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery can cause negative consequences on any implant inserted into the vessel, regardless of its composition, even metal. Furthermore, incorporating stents is advantageous for treating persistent occlusive lesions since it does not impact later treatments, including corrective bypass operations. Evidence is scarce about the use of bioabsorbable stents in treating infrapopliteal lesions. Utilizing bioabsorbable stents in minor infrapopliteal lesions can successfully maintain the patency of the blood vessel lumen, whereas balloon angioplasty cannot offer this benefit. The primary focus of testing these materials is determining whether bioabsorbable scaffolds can provide adequate radial force in highly calcified elongated lesions. Indeed, using "-limus" medication elution technology in conjunction with bioabsorbable stents has previously offered clinical benefits in treating the popliteal artery, as evidenced by limited trials.BVSs for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) show promise and have the potential to offer a less inflammatory and more vessel-friendly option compared to permanent metallic stents. However, current evidence does not yet allow for a universal recommendation for their use. Thus, ongoing, and future studies, such as those examining the newer generation of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRSs) with improved mechanical properties and resorption profiles, will be crucial in defining the role of BRSs in managing PAD.
RESUMEN
Plant-sucking insects have intricate associations with a diverse array of microorganisms to facilitate their adaptation to specific ecological niches. The midgut of phytophagous true bugs is generally structured into four distinct compartments to accommodate their microbiota. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding regarding the origins of these gut microbiomes, the mechanisms behind microbial community assembly, and the interactions between gut microbiomes and their insect hosts. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive survey of microbial communities within the midgut compartments of a bean bug Riptortus pedestris, soybean plant, and bulk soil across 12 distinct geographical fields in China, utilizing high-throughput sequencing of the 16 S rRNA gene. Our findings illuminated that gut microbiota of the plant-sucking insects predominantly originated from the surrounding soil environment, and plants also play a subordinate role in mediating microbial acquisition for the insects. Furthermore, our investigation suggested that the composition of the insect gut microbiome was probably shaped by host selection and/or microbe-microbe interactions at the gut compartment level, with marginal influence from soil and geographical factors. Additionally, we had unveiled a noteworthy dynamic in the acquisition of core bacterial taxa, particularly Burkholderia, which were initially sourced from the environment and subsequently enriched within the insect midgut compartments. This bacterial enrichment played a significant role in enhancing insect host reproduction. These findings contribute to our evolving understanding of microbiomes within the insect-plant-soil ecosystem, shedding additional light on the intricate interactions between insects and their microbiomes that underpin the ecological significance of microbial partnerships in host adaptation.

Background: Early identification of impending in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) improves clinical outcomes but remains elusive for practicing clinicians. Objective: We aimed to develop a multimodal machine learning algorithm based on ensemble techniques to predict the occurrence of IHCA. Methods: Our model was developed by the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring of Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database and validated in the Electronic Intensive Care Unit Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD). Baseline features consisting of patient demographics, presenting illness, and comorbidities were collected to train a random forest model. Next, vital signs were extracted to train a long short-term memory model. A support vector machine algorithm then stacked the results to form the final prediction model. Results: Of 23,909 patients in the MIMIC-IV database and 10,049 patients in the eICU-CRD database, 452 and 85 patients, respectively, had IHCA. At 13 hours in advance of an IHCA event, our algorithm had already demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.85 (95% CI 0.815-0.885) in the MIMIC-IV database. External validation with the eICU-CRD and National Taiwan University Hospital databases also presented satisfactory results, showing area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of 0.81 (95% CI 0.763-0.851) and 0.945 (95% CI 0.934-0.956), respectively. Conclusions: Using only vital signs and information available in the electronic medical record, our model demonstrates it is possible to detect a trajectory of clinical deterioration up to 13 hours in advance. This predictive tool, which has undergone external validation, could forewarn and help clinicians identify patients in need of assessment to improve their overall prognosis.
RESUMEN
To comprehensively reveal and utilize the plant resources of Lycium in China, this study determined and compared the content of monosaccharides, polysaccharides, proteins, carotenoids, organic acids, and phenols in the dried fruits of 8 different Lycium species. Furthermore, the traits including the hundred-fruit weight, shape index, and the ratio of seed to fruit were measured, and the correlations between the content of chemical compounds and fruit traits were assessed. The results showed that L. truncatum, L. barbarum var. auranticarpum, and L. dasystemum var. rubricaulium were the species with high content of monosaccharides. L. barbarum and L. barbarum var. auranticarpum were the species with high content of total polysaccharides, and L. barbarum was the species with high content of carotenoids. L. yunnanense and L. chinense var. potaninii had high content of soluble proteins. L. truncatum, L. dasystemum, and L. barbarum showed high content of organic acids and phenols. L. barbarum and L. barbarum var. auranticarpum demonstrated high fruit weight, while L. yunnanense and L. chinense had high ratios of seed to fruit. The multivariate statistical analysis indicated that polysaccharides, carotenoids, hundred-fruit weight, ratio of seed to fruit, scopolamine, fructose, 5-O-feruloylquinic acid, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, scopoletin, cryptochlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid were the main differential compounds in the fruits among different species of Lycium. Moreover, the results of correlation ananysis showed strong correlations between fruit traits and compound content. Specifically, the hundred-fruit weight had positive correlations with the content of total polysaccharides and scopola-mine. The ratio of seed to fruit was negatively correlated with the content of rutin, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, fructose, and glucose and positively correlated with the content of succinic acid, soluble proteins, and zeaxanthin. The results implied that chemical compounds presented different distribution patterns in the fruits of 8 Lycium species. This study provides a basis for the comprehensive development and utilization, targeted breeding, and value-added application of Lycium plants.

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cardiovascular disease facing human beings. Cardiac remodelling is an important pathological factor for the progression of heart failure (HF) after CHD. At present, Chinese medicine is widely used in the treatment of HF, but there are still some drugs lack of evidence-based and mechanism evidence. Multi-omics techniques can deep explore candidate pathogenic factors and construct gene regulatory networks.This trial is intended to evaluate the effect on Huoxin pill (HXP) in the treatment of HF after programmable communication interface (PCI). Meantime, multi-omics analysis technique will be used to target the fundamental pathological links of cardiac remodelling, so as to study the mechanism of HXP in the treatment of HF after PCI. Methods: This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Sixty patients with HF undergoing PCI are recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of CM. All selected patients will be randomly attributed to receive conventional treatment + HXP or placebo. The packaging, dosage and smell of placebo and heart activating pill were identical. The primary outcome is NYHA cardiac function grade, while the secondary outcomes included Lee's HF score, exercise tolerance test, and quality of life evaluation. Additional indicators include cardiac ultrasound, electrocardiogram, 24-h dynamic electrocardiogram, myocardial injury indicators, and energy metabolism indicators. Discussion: This study may provide a new treatment option for patients with HF after PCI and provide evidence for the treatment of CHD and HF with HXP. Trial registration: 2023-10-08 registered in China Clinical Trial Registry, registration number ChiCTR2300076402.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Leiomyosarcoma is a tumor that can develop in any organ that contains smooth muscles. Although leiomyosarcoma is common, its epididymal localization is quite rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 79-year-old male Chinese Han patient presented with mild pain in the right groin and scrotum for 3 years concomitant with right scrotal swelling. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum showed a irregular and heterogeneous mass that was extratesticular. Right high orchiectomy was performed, and pathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma of the epididymis with surgical margins clear of tumor. CONCLUSION: Epididymal leiomyosarcoma is rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The final diagnosis of epididymal leiomyosarcoma requires histologic examination. Resection must be extensive and complete. The effect of chemotherapy and radiation on the epididymal leiomyosarcoma remains unclear. Recurrence is common, so follow-up is necessary.

BACKGROUND: Micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) is a widely prescribed and extensively investigated venoactive drug (VAD). The standard dosage for MPFF is 500 mg administered twice daily. However, a new daily dose of 1000 mg has just been introduced. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether a daily dose of 1000 mg MPFF could be implemented and embraced by the public and still has the same therapeutic effects as conventional pharmaceuticals. METHODS: For this meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, Science of Web, Cochrane, and PubMed databases and forward and backward citations for studies published between database inception and March 2023. Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of comparison of different dosages of MPFF to evaluate whether there is a significant difference between them were included, without language or date restrictions. Due to the small sample size of the study included, we conducted a simple sensitivity test using a one-by-one exclusion method, and the results showed that the study did not affect the final consolidation conclusion. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. RESULTS: Out of 232 studies, 99 were eligible and 39 RCTs had data, all with low to moderate bias. Overall, 1924 patients (experimental group: 967, control group: 957) in 3 RCTs met the criteria. There is no significant difference in patient compliance, efficacy, clinical adverse events, and quality of life scores between MPFF 1000 mg once daily and MPFF 500 mg twice daily (standardized mean difference [SMD]: 0.049 [0.048, 0.145], p=0.321, risk ratio [RR]: 0.981 [0.855, 1.125], p=0.904, and SMD: 0.063 [0.034, 0.160], p=0.203). INTERPRETATION: In symptomatic chronic venous disease patients, MPFF 1000 mg once daily and MPFF 500 mg twice daily improve patient compliance, lower limb discomfort, clinical adverse events, and quality of life scores similarly. Regular medical care should recommend MPFF 1000 mg daily more often. CLINICAL IMPACT: Micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) is a popular venoactive medication (VAD) in modern medicine.MPFF is effective in treating lower extremity venous problems.Currently, besides conventional 500 mg tablets, there exist alternative dosage forms such as solutions, chewable tablets, and other novel formulations for MPFF.The excessive frequency and amount of medication may have a negative impact on patient adherence.
RESUMEN
This paper introduces a new hypoplastic model characterized by a simple and elegant formulation. It requires only 7 material parameters to depict salient mechanical behaviors of granular materials. The numerical implementation employs an explicit integration method, enhanced by a best-fit stress correction algorithm in a smoothed particle hydrodynamics code. The performance of this model in capturing soil behavior across a range of scenarios is demonstrated by conducting various numerical tests, including triaxial and simple shear at low strain rates, as well as granular collapse, rigid penetration and landslide process at high strain rates.
RESUMEN
In brief: Genes expressed in cumulus cells might be used as markers for competent oocytes/embryos. This study identified and validated a new group of cumulus expansion and/or apoptosis-regulating genes, which may be used for selection of quality oocytes/embryos. Abstract: Studies on the mechanisms behind cumulus expansion and cumulus cell (CC) apoptosis are essential for understanding the mechanisms for oocyte maturation. Genes expressed in CCs might be used as markers for competent oocytes and/or embryos. In this study, both in vitro (IVT) and in vivo (IVO) mouse oocyte models with significant difference in cumulus expansion and CC apoptosis were used to identify and validate new genes regulating cumulus expansion and CC apoptosis of mouse oocytes. We first performed mRNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis using the IVT oocyte model to identify candidate genes. We then analyzed functions of the candidate genes by RNAi or gene overexpression to select the candidate cumulus expansion and CC apoptosis-regulating genes. Finally, we validated the cumulus expansion and CC apoptosis-regulating genes using the IVO oocyte model. The results showed that while Spp1, Sdc1, Ldlr, Ezr and Mmp2 promoted, Bmp2, Angpt2, Edn1, Itgb8, Cxcl10 and Agt inhibited cumulus expansion. Furthermore, Spp1, Sdc1 and Ldlr inhibited CC apoptosis. In conclusion, by using both IVT and IVO oocyte models, we have identified and validated a new group of cumulus expansion and/or apoptosis-regulating genes, which may be used for selection of quality oocytes/embryos and for elucidating the molecular mechanisms behind oocyte maturation.

Binding of Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SPA) to osteoblasts induces apoptosis and inhibits bone formation. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the ability to differentiate into bone, fat and cartilage. Therefore, it was important to analyze the molecular mechanism of SPA on osteogenic differentiation. We introduced transcript sequence data to screen out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to SPA-interfered BMSC. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was established to screen biomarkers associated with SPA-interfered BMSC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the ability of biomarkers to discriminate between two groups of samples. Finally, we performed GSEA and regulatory analysis based on biomarkers. We identified 321 DEGs. Subsequently, 6 biomarkers (Cenpf, Kntc1, Nek2, Asf1b, Troap and Kif14) were identified by hubba algorithm in PPI. ROC analysis showed that six biomarkers could clearly discriminate between normal differentiated and SPA-interfered BMSC. Moreover, we found that these biomarkers were mainly enriched in the pyrimidine metabolism pathway. We also constructed '71 circRNAs-14 miRNAs-5 mRNAs' and '10 lncRNAs-5 miRNAs-2 mRNAs' networks. Kntc1 and Asf1b genes were associated with rno-miR-3571. Nek2 and Asf1b genes were associated with rno-miR-497-5p. Finally, we found significantly lower expression of six biomarkers in the SPA-interfered group compared to the normal group by RT-qPCR. Overall, we obtained 6 biomarkers (Cenpf, Kntc1, Nek2, Asf1b, Troap, and Kif14) related to SPA-interfered BMSC, which provided a theoretical basis to explore the key factors of SPA affecting osteogenic differentiation.

One hundred eighty pairs of tissues of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were tested by the transcriptome sequencing in order to explore etiology factors. The chi-square test and correlation analysis demonstrated that the relative expression levels of keratin 17 (KRT17) and collagen type I α1 chain (COL1A1) were significantly higher in EC with diabetes. Expression of KRT17 was correlated with blood glucose (r = 0.204, p = 0.001) and tumor size (r = -0.177, p = 0.038) in patients. COL1A1 correlated with age (r = -0.170, p = 0.029) and blood glucose levels (r = 0.190, p = 0.015). Experimental results of qRT-PCR: KRT17 and COL1A1 genes were highly expressed in ESCC (p < 0.05). When the two genes were used as a combination test, the positive detection rate of EC was 90.6%, and the ROC curve had greater power. The KRT17 and COL1A1 genes had the potential to be biomarkers for the diagnosis of ESCC.

BACKGROUND: There are relatively few studies on continuing care of coronary heart disease (CHD), and its research value needs to be further clarified. AIM: To investigate the effect of continuous nursing on treatment compliance and side effect management in patients with CHD. METHODS: This is a retrospective study with patients from January 2021 to 2023. The study was divided into two groups with 30 participants in each group. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to assess patients' anxiety and depression, and medical coping questionnaire was used to assess patients' coping styles. The pelvic floor dysfunction questionnaire (PFDI-20) was used to assess the status of pelvic floor function, including bladder symptoms, intestinal symptoms, and pelvic symptoms. RESULTS: SAS score decreased from 57.33 ± 3.01before treatment to 41.33 ± 3.42 after treatment, SDS score decreased from 50.40 ± 1.45 to 39.47 ± 1.57. The decrease of these two indexes was statistically significant (P < 0.05). PFDI-20 scores decreased from the mean 16.83 ± 1.72 before treatment to 10.47 ± 1.3the mean after treatment, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that pioneering research in continuous care of CHD has a positive impact on improving patients' treatment compliance, reducing anxiety and depression levels, and improving coping styles and pelvic floor functional status.
RESUMEN
Metal-free, photoredox-catalyzed aromatization-driven deconstructive functionalization of spiro-dihydroquinazolinones with α-CF3 alkenes is presented. The readily available spiro-dihydroquinazolinones reacted efficiently with α-CF3 alkenes during photocatalysis to give the gem-difluoroallylated and the CF3-containing quinazolin-4(3H)-ones in good yields with excellent chemoselectivity. The selectivity depends on the electron effect of substituents in α-CF3 alkenes. A wide range of four-, five-, six-, seven-, eight- and twelve-membered spiro-dihydroquinazolinones were compatible with this transformation. The protocol is also characterized by the mild and redox-neutral reaction conditions, good functional group compatibility and excellent atom economy. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway.
