RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical characteristics of children with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 25 children diagnosed with AAV at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2010 to June 2022. RESULTS: Among the AAV children, there were 5 males and 20 females, with a median age of onset of 11.0 years. Involvement of the urinary system was seen in 18 cases (72%); respiratory system involvement in 10 cases (40%); skin involvement in 6 cases (24%); eye, ear, and nose involvement in 5 cases (20%); joint involvement in 4 cases (16%); digestive system involvement in 2 cases (8%). Eleven cases underwent kidney biopsy, with 5 cases (46%) showing focal type, 2 cases (18%) showing crescentic type, 2 cases (18%) showing mixed type, and 2 cases (18%) showing sclerotic type. Immune complex deposits were present in 5 cases (45%). Seven cases reached chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage V, with 2 cases resulting in death. Two cases underwent kidney transplantation. At the end of the follow-up period, 2 cases were at CKD stage II, and 1 case was at CKD stage III. Of the 16 cases of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) group, 13 (81%) involved the urinary system. Of the 9 cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), 6 cases (66%) had sinusitis. Serum creatinine and uric acid levels were higher in the MPA group than in the GPA group (P<0.05), while red blood cell count and glomerular filtration rate were lower in the MPA group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: AAV is more common in school-age female children, with MPA being the most common clinical subtype. The onset of AAV in children is mainly characterized by renal involvement, followed by respiratory system involvement. The renal pathology often presents as focal type with possible immune complex deposits. Children with MPA often have renal involvement, while those with GPA commonly have sinusitis. The prognosis of children with AAV is poor, often accompanied by renal insufficiency.

High voltage power capacitors employ the oil-impregnated polypropylene film as the insulation. The swelling phenomenon might drive the antioxidants and small molecules within the film to migrate into the oil. It is necessary to comprehensively investigate the physical migration mechanism of antioxidants and their impact on the electrical performance of the oil-film combination insulation system and, consequently, formulate the proper selective prescription of antioxidants. Theoretical elucidation of the competitive interaction mechanism between the film and the oil in attracting antioxidant molecules was achieved through the calculation of inter-molecular binding energy, and the migration coefficient ηm was introduced to quantify the migration characteristics of antioxidants. Experimentally, the effects of antioxidants on the space charge distribution of the film, the dielectric properties of the oil, and the breakdown characteristics of both the film and oil were investigated. The experimental conclusions are consistent with theoretical analysis. The lamellar structure antioxidant molecules with ηm > 1 tend to migrate from the film to the oil, which results in increased dielectric loss and decreased breakdown strength of the insulating oil. In addition, the presence of phosphorus atoms in phosphite antioxidants contributes to a reduction in the breakdown strength of the film. For capacitor grade polypropylene film, in addition to the synergistic effect between different types of antioxidants on the thermo-oxidative stability, the structure of the antioxidant molecules and its influence on the electrical performance of the oil-film systems should also be taken into account.
RESUMEN
Neurological disorders are closely linked to the alterations in cell membrane permeability (CMP) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Changes in CMP and MMP may lead to damage and death of nerve cells, thus triggering the onset and progression of neurological diseases. Therefore, monitoring the changes of these two physiological parameters not only benefits the accurate assessment of nerve cell health status, but also enables providing key information for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. However, the simultaneous monitoring of these two cellular physiological parameters is still challenging. Herein, we design and synthesize two quinolinium-carbazole-derivated fluorescent probes (OQ and PQ). As isomers, the only difference in their chemical structures is the linking position of the carbazole unit in quinoline rings. Strikingly, such a subtle difference endows OQ and PQ with significantly different organelle-staining behaviors. PQ mainly targets at the nucleus, OQ can simultaneously stain cell membranes and mitochondria in normal cells, and performs CMP and MMP-dependent translocation from the cell membrane to mitochondria then to the nucleus, thus holding great promise as an intracellular translocation probe to image the changes of CMP and MMP. After unraveling the intrinsic mechanism of their different translocation abilities by combining experiments with molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations, we successfully used OQ to monitor the continuous changes of CMP and MMP in three neurological disease-related cell models, including oxidative stress-damaged, Parkinson's disease, and virus-infected ones. Besides providing a validated imaging tool for monitoring cellular physiological parameters, this work paves a promising route for designing intracellular translocation probes to analyze cellular physiological parameters associated with various diseases.

DNA N6-methyladenine (6mA) modification is widespread in organisms and plays an important functional role in the regulation of cellular processes. As a model organism in biohydrometallurgy, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans can obtain energy from the oxidation of ferrous iron (Fe2+) and various reduced inorganic sulfides (RISCs) under acidic conditions. To determine the linkage between genomic DNA methylation and the switching between the two oxidative metabolic pathways in A. ferrooxidans, the 6mA landscape in the genome of A. ferrooxidans cultured under different conditions was evaluated by using 6mA-IP-seq. A total of 214 and 47 high-confidence peaks of 6mA were identified under the Fe2+ and RISCs oxidizing conditions, respectively (P<10-5), suggesting that genomic methylation was greater under Fe2+ oxidizing conditions. 6mA experienced a decline at the transcription start site (TSS) and occurs frequently in gene bodies under both oxidizing conditions. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses revealed that 7 KEGG pathways were mapped into and most of the differentially methylated genes were enriched in oxidative phosphorylation and metabolic pathways. Fourteen genes were selected for studying the effect of differences in methylation on mRNA expression. Thirteen genes, excluding petA-1, demonstrated a decrease in mRNA expression as methylation levels increased. Overall, the 6mA methylation enrichment patterns are similar under two conditions but show differences in the enriched pathways. The phenomenon of upregulated gene methylation levels coupled with downregulated expression suggests a potential association between the regulation mechanisms of 6mA and the Fe2+ and RISCs oxidation pathways.

Rapid and highly effective removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(â ¥)) is extremely vital to water resources restoration and environmental protection. To overcome the pH limitation faced by most ionic absorbents, an always positive covalent organic nanosheet (CON) material was prepared and its Cr(VI) adsorption and removal capability was investigated in detail. As-prepared EB-TFB CON (TFB = 1,3,5-benzaldehyde, EB = ethidium bromide) shows strong electropositivity in the tested pH range of 1 â¼ 10, display a pH-independent Cr(VI) removal ability, and work well for Cr(VI) pollution treatment with good anti-interference capability and reusability in a wide pH range covering almost all Cr(VI)-contaminated real water samples, thus eliminating the requirement for pH adjustment. Moreover, the nanosheet structure, which is obtained by a facile ultrasonic-assisted self-exfoliation, endows EB-TFB CON with fully exposed active sites and shortened mass transfer channels, and the Cr(VI) adsorption equilibrium can be reached within 15 min with a high adsorption capacity of 280.57 mg·g-1. The proposed Cr(VI) removal mechanism, which is attributed to the synergetic contributions of electrostatic adsorption, ion exchange and chemical reduction, is demonstrated by experiments and theoretical calculations. This work not only provides a general Cr(VI) absorbent without pH limitation, but also presents a paradigm to prepare ionic CONs with relatively constant surface charges.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has emphasized the therapeutic role of vitamin D in NAFLD, but the specific mechanism remains to be investigated. AREAS COVERED: This review summarized the roles of vitamin D/VDR (vitamin D receptor) pathway in different types of liver cells (such as hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, liver macrophages, T lymphocytes, and other hepatic immune cells) in case of NAFLD. Meanwhile, the effects of pathways in the gut-liver axis, adipose tissue-liver axis, and skeletal muscle-liver axis on the development of NAFLD were further reviewed. Relevant literature was searched on PubMed for the writing of this review. EXPERT OPINION: The precise regulation of regional vitamin D/VDR signaling pathway based on cell-specific or tissue-specific function will help clarify the potential mechanism of vitamin D in NAFLD, which may provide new therapeutic targets to improve the safety and efficacy of vitamin D based drugs.

The pentraxins represent a family of multifunctional proteins composed of long and short pentamers. The latter includes serum amyloid P component (SAP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) whereas the former includes neuronal PTX1 and PTX2 (NPTX1 and NPTX2, respectively), PTX3 and PTX4. These serve as a bridge between adaptive immunity and innate immunity and a link between inflammation and immunity. Similarities and differences between long and short pentamers are examined and their roles in autoimmune disease are discussed. Increased CRP and PTX3 could indicate the activity of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus or other autoimmune diseases. Mechanistically, CRP and PTX3 may predict target organ injury, regulate bone metabolic immunity and maintain homeostasis as well as participate in vascular endothelial remodeling. Interestingly, PTX3 is pleiotropic, being involved in inflammation and tissue repair. Given the therapeutic potential of PTX3 and CRP, targeting these factors to exert a beneficial effect is the focus of research efforts. Unfortunately, studies on NPTX1, NPTX2, PTX4 and SAP are scarce and more research is clearly needed to elaborate their potential roles in autoimmune disease.

Glutathione S-transferase is heterogeneously expressed in breast cancer cells and is therefore emerging as a potential diagnostic biomarker for studying the heterogeneity of breast cancers. However, available fluorescent probes for GSTs depend heavily on GSTs-catalyzed glutathione (GSH) nucleophilic substitution reactions, making them susceptible to interference by the high concentration of nucleophilic species in the cellular environment. Moreover, the functions of subcellular GSTs are generally overlooked due to the lack of suitable luminescence probes. Herein, we report a highly selective affinity-based luminescence probe 1 for GST in breast cancer cells through tethering a GST inhibitor, ethacrynic acid, to an iridium(III) complex. Compared to activity-based probes which require the use of GSH, this probe could image GST-pi in the mitochondria by directly adducting to GST-pi (or potentially GST-pi/GS) in living cells. Probe 1 possesses desirable photophysical properties including a lifetime of 911 ns, a Stokes shift of 343 nm, and high photostability. The "turn on" luminescence mode of the probe enables highly selective detection of the GST with a limit of detection of 1.01 µM, while its long emission lifetime allows sensitive detection in organic dye-spiked autofluorescence samples by a time-resolved mode. The probe was further applied to specifically and quantitatively visualize MDA-MB-231 cells via specific binding to mitochondrial GST, and could differentiate breast cell lines based on their expression levels of GST. To the best of our knowledge, this probe is the first affinity-based iridium(III) imaging probe for the subcellular GST. Our work provides a valuable tool for unmasking the diverse roles of a subcellular GST in living systems, as well as for studying the heterogeneity of breast cancers.

A heteropore covalent organic framework incorporated silicone tube (S-tube@PDA@COF) was used as adsorbent to purify the matrices in vegetable extracts. The S-tube@PDA@COF was fabricated by a facile in-situ growth method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and N2 adsorption-desorption. The as-prepared composite exhibited high removal efficiency of phytochromes and recovery (81.13-116.62%) of 15 chemical hazards from 5 representative vegetable samples. This study opens a promising avenue toward the facile synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-derived silicone tubes for streamline operation in food sample pretreatment.
RESUMEN
Drought severely affects the growth and yield of soybean plants especially during the flowering period. To investigate the effect of 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) in combination with foliar nitrogen (N) at flowering stage on drought resistance and seed yield of soybean under drought stress. This experiment was conducted in 2021 and 2022 on drought-resistant variety (Hefeng 50) and drought-sensitive variety (Hefeng 43) soybean plants treated with foliar N (DS + N) and 2-oxoglutarate (DS + 2OG) at flowering stage under drought stress. The results showed that drought stress at flowering stage significantly increased leaf malonaldehyde (MDA) content and reduced soybean yield per plant. However, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) activities were significantly increased by foliar N treatment, and 2-oxoglutarate synergistically with foliar N treatment (DS + N + 2OG) was more beneficial to plant photosynthesis. 2-oxoglutarate significantly enhanced plant N content, glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) activity. Furthermore, 2-oxoglutarate increased the accumulation of proline and soluble sugars under drought stress. Under drought stress, soybean seed yield was increased by DS + N + 2OG treatment by 16.48-17.10% and 14.96-18.84% in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Thus, the combination of foliar N and 2-oxoglutarate better mitigated the adverse effects of drought stress and could better compensate for the yield loss of soybean under drought stress.

Induction of antitumor immunity is critical for the therapeutic efficacy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) immunotherapy. The cellular metabolic state underpins the effector function of immune cells, yet our understanding of the phenotypic and metabolic heterogeneity of B cells within HCC microenvironment is poorly developed. Herein, we investigated the composition, distribution, phenotype, function and metabolic profiles of B-cell subsets in HCC and adjacent liver tissues from an orthotopic HCC mouse model using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Our results identified six B-cell clusters, which can be classified into plasma cells and activated and exhausted B cells according to marker expression, functional and temporal distribution. Exhausted B cells exhibited low metabolic activities and impaired effector functions. Activated B and plasma cells showed higher metabolic activity than exhausted B cells, but there were clear differences in their metabolic profiles. In addition, we found that the effector function of exhausted B cells was further diminished in HCC tissues compared with adjacent liver tissues, but their metabolic activity was significantly enhanced. Collectively, we comprehensively characterized the metabolic profile and alterations in B-cell subsets in HCC, which contributes to the understanding of B-cell immunology in HCC and lays the foundation for exploring novel targets in HCC immunotherapy.

Background: Bartter syndrome (BS) type III is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease. Its clinical features are polyuria, hypokalemia, hypochloremia, metabolic alkalosis, and hyperreninaemia. A few BS type III can be complicated with chronic kidney disease. Case presentation: We report a 14-year-old boy with Bartter syndrome caused by a c.1792C > T (p.Q598*) mutation in the CLCNKB gene. He was a no deafness and full-term baby, and he had renal dysplasia and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition, we summarize all cases of BS type III complicated with CKD. Conclusions: We report a case of Bartter syndrome complicated by chronic kidney disease caused by a new mutation of CLCNKB. As we all know, BS type IV is usually combined with chronic kidney disease, and BS type III can also integrate with CKD. We don't find BS type III with glomerular dysplasia in the literature. So renal damage in BS type III is not only FSGS; clinicians must also be aware of glomerular dysplasia.
RESUMEN
Objectives: The time of onset of puberty has been increasingly earlier, but its mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to reveal the mechanism of leptin and NPY in the onset of puberty in male offspring rats after androgen intervention during pregnancy. Methods: Eight-week-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and 16 female SD rats were selected and caged at 1:2. The pregnant rats were randomly divided into the olive oil control group (OOG) and testosterone intervention group (TG), with 8 rats in each group. Olive oil and testosterone were injected from the 15th day of pregnancy, for a total of 4 injections (15th, 17th, 19th, 21st day). After the onset of puberty, the male offspring rats were anesthetized with 2% pentobarbital sodium to collect blood by ventral aorta puncture and decapitated to peel off the hypothalamus and abdominal fat. Serum testosterone (T), free testosterone (FT), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and leptin were detected by ELISA, and then the free androgen index (FAI) was calculated. The mRNA levels of androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor α (ERα), NPY, leptinR, and NPY2R in the hypothalamus and abdominal fat were detected by RT-PCR. Protein expression levels of AR, ERα, NPY, leptinR, and NPY2R in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: The time of onset of puberty was significantly earlier in the TG than in the OOG (P< 0.05) and was positively correlated with body weight, body length, abdominal fat, and leptinR mRNA levels in adipose tissue in the OOG (P< 0.05), while it was positively correlated with serum DHT and DHEA concentrations and FAI and AR mRNA levels in the hypothalamus in the TG (P< 0.05). The NPY2R mRNA level and protein expression levels of ERα, NPY2R, and leptinR in the TG were significantly higher than those in the OOG, while the protein expression levels of AR and NPY in the TG were significantly lower than those in the OOG (P< 0.05). Conclusions: Testosterone intervention during pregnancy led to an earlier onset of puberty in male offspring rats, which may render the male offspring rats more sensitive to androgens, leptin, and NPY at the onset of puberty.

Preclinical studies have proven that nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) ablation can be a safe and effective treatment for humans with unresectable liver cancer that are ineligible for thermal ablation. The concomitant activation of antitumor immunity by nsPEF can also potentially prevent tumor recurrence. However, whether nsPEF exhibits similar efficacy in a clinical setting remains to be investigated. A prospective clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT04039747) was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided nsPEF ablation in 15 patients with unresectable liver cancer that were ineligible for thermal ablation. We found that nsPEF ablation was safe and produced a 12-month recurrence-free survival (RFS) and local RFS of 60% (9/15) and 86.7% (13/15), respectively, in the enrolled patients. Integrative proteomic and metabolomic analysis showed that sphingolipid metabolism was the most significantly enriched pathway in patient sera after nsPEF without recurrence within 8 months. A similar upregulation of sphingolipid metabolism was observed in the intratumoral mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), rather than other immune and nonimmune cells, of an nsPEF-treated mouse model. We then demonstrated that lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus C2-positive (Ly6c2+ ) monocytes first differentiated into Ly6c2+ monocyte-derived macrophages with an increase in sphingolipid metabolic activity, and subsequently into Ly6c2+ dendritic cells (DCs). Ly6c2+ DCs communicated with CD8+ T cells and increased the proportions of IFN-γ+ CD8+ memory T cells after nsPEF, and this finding was subsequently confirmed by depletion of liver Ly6c2+ MNPs. In conclusion, nsPEF was a safe and effective treatment for liver cancer. The alteration of sphingolipid metabolism induced by nsPEF was associated with the differentiation of Ly6c2+ MNPs, and subsequently induced the formation of memory CD8+ T cells with potent antitumor effect.

The wide use of palladium (Pd) raises the concern about environmental pollution and human diseases, evoking the need for the development of detection methods for Pd species. However, the development of near-infrared (NIR) luminescence probes for subcellular Pd species remains challenging. In this work, we presented a NIR iridium(III) complex-based luminescence probe for the detection of Pd0 species through incorporating an allyl group and amino group into the N^N ligand. We found that the probe was capable of detecting Pd0 species with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 µM. Importantly, cell imaging experiments showed that the probe is applicable for visualizing mitochondrial Pd0 ions in living cells, which are also suitable for Pd(II) species. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first NIR luminescence imaging probe for the detection of mitochondria Pd species in living cells, paving the way for studying subcellular distributions and related toxicity analysis of exogenous Pd species in living cells.

The planting effect and the planting potential of 12 cover crops (Leguminous: alfalfa, smooth vetch, hairy vetch, red clover, white clover, common vetch; non-leguminous: sudangrass, green radish, Nitro radish, rape, kale, endive) in the Sanjiang Plain of Northeast China were comprehensively evaluated by soil penetration resistance, pre-winter biomass, root characteristics, and plant nitrogen accumulation. The results showed that all the 12 cover crops grew normally during the experimental sowing period. Compared with the control, all the cover crops successfully reduced soil compactness. The planting of green radish, nitro radish, and sudangrass decreased soil penetration resistance by 47.1%, 43.4% and 33.4%, respectively. The pre-winter total fresh biomass of cover crop populations was between 3.38 and 13.98 kg·m-2, and the total dry matter mass was between 0.78 and 2.43 kg·m-2. The biomass of non-leguminous cover crops was significantly higher than that of the leguminous cover crops. The group roots of radish, rape and endive had large volumes. In particular, the nitro radish roots had a vo-lume of 4018.5 cm3·m-2, and the root system of sudangrass extended over the widest horizontal range. The ash content of leguminous cover crops was significantly lower than that of non-leguminous species, which could provide more organic matter with high decomposability. The total nitrogen accumulation of cover crops varied from 18.72 to 53.09 g·m-2. Kale and endive accumulated the highest amount of nitrogen and large biomass, which could facilitate nitrogen fixation and accumulation. According to the type of main crops in Sanjiang Plain and canopy structure, planting leguminous (clover, vetch, and alfalfa) and non-leguminous (radish, kale and sudangrass) cover crops to plant inter-row or in a line mixed cropping pattern could regulate soil structure and promote nutrient cycing, with positive effects on the fertility of black soil in the Sanjiang Plain.

RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different training modalities on improving the inflammatory response in adolescents with obesity. For the study methodology, the databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Pubmed, Web of Science, and EBSCO were selected for searching. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (ROB) tool, and statistical analysis was performed by applying RevMan 5.4.1 analysis software. A total of 14 studies with 682 subjects were included. The results of this meta-analysis showed that aerobic training (AT) and aerobic plus resistance training (AT + RT) reduced the levels of IL-6 and CRP in adolescents with obesity. Among them, AT + RT was more effective than other training modalities in reducing IL-6 and CRP in adolescents with obesity. Different training modalities have no effect on the TNF-α level in adolescents with obesity. However, regarding the increase in IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α in adolescents with obesity, resistance training (RT) did not lead to significant differences. In conclusion, long-term regular AT, AT + RT, and HIIT are all helpful in improving the inflammatory state of adolescents with obesity, with AT + RT being the best training modality to combat inflammation in adolescents with obesity.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of regular aerobic exercise on the improvement of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease through meta-analysis and to provide targeted exercise recommendations for patients with CKD. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and other databases were searched, and randomized controlled trials on the effects of regular aerobic exercise on renal function-related indexes in patients with CKD were collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The methodological quality of the included literature was evaluated using the Cochrane evaluation tool second generation, and statistical analysis was performed using R analysis software. Results: A total of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of patients with CKD were included, and the results of the meta-analysis showed that regular aerobic exercise significantly improved the estimated glomerular filtration rate SMD = 0.65, 95% CI [0.30, 1.00], serum creatinine SMD = -0.63, 95% CI [-0.86, -0.40], 24-h urine protein volume in patients with CKD SMD = -0.41, 95% CI [-0.70, -0.11], and serum urea nitrogen SMD = -0.66, 95% CI [-1.20, -0.12]. Single exercise session longer than 30 min significantly improved the estimated glomerular filtration rate in CKD patients (p < 0.01), and walking and running as exercise modalities significantly improved CKD patients' SCr levels were significantly improved by walking and running as exercise modalities (p < 0.05), and the improvement effect was not significant when cycling was selected as an exercise modality. Conclusion: Regular aerobic exercise has a significant effect on the estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum creatinine, 24-h urine protein amount, and blood urea nitrogen in CKD patients. Aerobic exercise with a single exercise duration longer than 30 min has a more significant effect on the estimated glomerular filtration rate, and aerobic exercise by walking or running can more effectively improve the serum creatinine in CKD patients.
