    Abstract: Objectives. Glioma patients with brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) have a complex profile due to the simultaneous presence of two pathologies, glioma and epilepsy; however, they have not traditionally received as much attention as those with more malignant brain tumors. The underlying pathophysiology of brain tumor-related epilepsy remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between molecular neuropathology and glioma with BTRE and a wide range of BTRE-associated molecular markers of glioma patients. Methods. A retrospective cohort study of 186 glioma patients was evaluated at our hospital, of which 64 had BTRE. The chi-square test, Spearman rank correlation, and multivariate logistic analyses were used to identify clinicopathological factors associated with BTRE in glioma patients. Results. Of the 186 patients examined in this study, 64 (34.4%) had BTRE. Based on the analysis of the characteristics of these patients, the results showed that patient age (over 40 years; P = 0.007 ), low WHO grade (grade I, II; P = 0.001 ), IDH-1 positive mutation ( P = 0.027 ), low ATR-X expression level ( OR = 0.44 ; 95% CI: 0.21, 0.92), and low Ki-67 PI ( OR = 0.25 ; 95% CI: 0.10, 0.68) were associated with the occurrence of BTRE. In our cohort, BTRE patients did not differ by sex, tumor location, or expression of olig-2 and CD34. The results of the matching study showed that low Ki-67 PI and negative ATR-X expression levels were independent factors for a higher incidence of preoperative seizures in glioma patients. Conclusion. The current study updates existing information on genetic markers in gliomas with BTRE and explores the correlation of a wide range of clinicopathological factors and glioma patients with BTRE and suggests three putative biomarkers for BTRE: positive IDH1 mutation, low Ki-67 PI, and negative ATR-X expression. These factors may provide insights for developing a more thorough understanding of the pathogenesis of epilepsy and effective treatment strategies aimed at seizure control.

    Abstract: Although adiponectin is a major adipocytokine that affects the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases, its clinical significance in stroke remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of serum adiponectin levels on functional prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods This was a prospective, observational cohort study. Consecutive first-ever ischemic stroke patients without any pre-morbid handicap admitted to our hospital were identified from December 2017 to December 2018. Serum concentration of adiponectin was routinely measured within the first 24 h after admission by a commercially available sandwich ELISA. Associations between adiponectin and either clinical severity at admission, poor outcomes or mortality at 3-month after admission were analyzed using logistic regression to obtain odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results The serum level of adiponectin was obtained in 227 patients with a median value of 7.0 μg/ml, which was significantly higher ( P  〈  0.001) than in those heathy control. Adiponectin levels were associated with moderate-to-high stroke, and risk increased by 12% (OR = 1.12; 95% CI 1.03–1.25; P  = 0.002). Patients with a poor outcome and nonsurvivors had significantly increased adiponectin levels on admission (P  〈  0.001, all). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, adiponectin was an independent predictor of functional outcome and mortality, and risk increased by 24% (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.13–1.37; P  〈  0.001) and 31% (1.31 [1.18–1.46], P  〈  0.001), respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis suggested that the patients with high serum adiponectin levels had a higher risk of death than those patients with low levels (log-rank test P  〈  0.001). Conclusions Our results show that high adiponectin is associated with stroke severity and support the hypothesis that adiponectin can be serve as a biomarker of poor outcome after stroke, independent of baseline variables.

    Abstract: Background: DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that affects genomic instability and regulates gene expression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) modulate gene expression by interacting with chromosomal modifications or remodelling factors. It is urgently needed to evaluate the effects of DNA methylation-related lncRNAs (DMlncRNAs) on genome instability and further investigate the mechanism of action of DMlncRNAs in mediating the progression of lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) and their impact on the immune microenvironment. Methods: LGG transcriptome data, somatic mutation profiles and clinical features analysed in the present study were obtained from the CGGA, GEO and TCGA databases. Univariate, multivariate Cox and Lasso regression analyses were performed to establish a DMlncRNA signature. The KEGG and GO analyses were performed to screen for pathways and biological functions associated with key genes. The ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT algorithms were used to determine the level of immune cells in LGGs and the immune microenvironment fraction. In addition, DMlncRNAs were assessed using survival analysis, ROC curves, correlation analysis, external validation, independent prognostic analysis, clinical stratification analysis and qRT-PCR. Results: We identified five DMlncRNAs with prognostic value for LGGs and established a prognostic signature using them. The Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed 10-years survival rate of 10.10% [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.27–31.40%] in high-risk patients and 57.28% (95% CI: 43.17–76.00%) in low-risk patients. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI of risk scores were 1 .013 and 1.009–1.017 ( p & lt; 0.001), respectively, based on the univariate Cox regression analysis and 1.009 and 1.004–1.013 ( p & lt; 0.001), respectively, based on the multivariate Cox regression analysis. Therefore, the five-lncRNAs were identified as independent prognostic markers for patients with LGGs. Furthermore, GO and KEGG analyses revealed that these lncRNAs are involved in the prognosis and tumorigenesis of LGGs by regulating cancer pathways and DNA methylation. Conclusion: The findings of the study provide key information regarding the functions of lncRNAs in DNA methylation and reveal that DNA methylation can regulate tumour progression through modulation of the immune microenvironment and genomic instability. The identified prognostic lncRNAs have high potential for clinical grouping of patients with LGGs to ensure effective treatment and management.

    Abstract: N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification signature has recently emerged as a crucial regulator of tumor progression and treatment in cancer. However, there is limited information available on the genomic profile of lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) related to m7G methylation modification genes’ function in tumorigenesis and progression. In this study, we employed bioinformatics methods to characterize m7G modifications in individuals with LGG from The Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We used gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), single sample GSEA (ssGSEA), CIBERSORT algorithm, ESTIMATE algorithm, and TIDE to evaluate the association between m7G modification patterns, tumor microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration properties, and immune infiltration markers. The m7G scoring scheme using principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to investigate the m7G modification patterns quantitatively. We examined the m7G modification hub genes' expression levels in normal samples, refractory epilepsy samples, and LGG samples using immunohistochemistry, western-blotting, and qRT-PCR. Our findings revealed that individuals with LGG could be categorized into two groups based on m7G scores (high and low) according to the properties of m7G. Moreover, we observed that high m7G score was associated with significant clinical benefit and prolonged survival duration in the anti-PD-1 cohort, while low m7G score was associated with improved prognostic outcomes and increased likelihood of complete or partial response in the anti-PD-L1 cohort. Different m7G subtypes also showed varying Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) and immune profiles and might have distinct responses to immunotherapy. Furthermore, we identified five potential genetic markers that were highly correlated with the m7G score signature index. These findings provide insight into the features and classification associated with m7G methylation modifications and may aid in improving the clinical outcome of LGG.

    Abstract: To investigate the association of folate metabolism gene polymorphism with neural tube defects (NTDs) in Chinese population. Methods The subjects were divided into two groups, 495 children with NTDs (NTD group) and 255 healthy children (control group). Results The levels of folic acid, s-adenosine methionine (SAM), and Sam/s-adenosine homocysteine (SAH) in NTD group were lower than those in control group. There were significant differences in hey, SAH, and Sam levels between two groups, but there was no significant difference in folic acid content. High fever in early pregnancy, taking antiepileptic drugs, father’s exposure to organic solvents, folic acid deficiency, and mother’s diabetes were the important risk factors in NTDs. MTHFR 677C  〉  T gene was a risk factor for NTD in children, while 1298A  〉  C gene was a protective factor. Conclusion Folic acid metabolism markers were different in NTD children and their mothers, and the overall trend showed that folate, SAM, and SAM/SAH levels were decreased, while Hcy and SAH levels were increased; MTHFR 677C  〉  T gene of SNPs was a risk factor for the occurrence of NTDs, and MTHFR 1298A  〉  C gene was a protective factor, and the environmental risk factor had a synergistic effect on occurrence of NTDs.

    Abstract: To examine the association between elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the rapid decline in kidney function by conducting a retrospective cohort study on a physically healthy population in Urumqi, China. Methods A cohort study of 2,802 physically healthy people with a normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was investigated from 2018 to 2021. The examination procedure included using questionnaires, taking physical measurements, and blood sampling. The rapid decline in kidney function was defined as eGFR  〉  5 mL·min –1 ·(1.73 m 2 ) –1 year. The relationship between elevated SUA levels and the rapid decline in kidney function was assessed. Results When performing the three-year retrospective analysis, 688 (28.55%) cases experienced a rapid decline in kidney function, and 52 (1.9%) cases developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). They were divided into the stable group and the rapidly declining kidney function group according to eGFR  〉  15 mL·min –1 ·(1.73 m 2 ) –1 . The comparison revealed a greater increase in uric acid in the rapidly declining kidney function group [0.30 (-0.29, 0.82) mg/dL vs. − 0.07(-0.54, 0.37) mg/dL, Z = − 8.822, P   〈  0.001]. The participants were further divided into four groups according to their uric acid levels in 2018 and 2021, which included the normal to normal (N-N) group, the normal to hyperuricemia (HUA) (N-H) group, the HUA to normal (H-N) group, and the persistently HUA (H-H) group. The decrease in eGFR was significantly higher in the N-H group than in the other three groups (χ 2  = 20.580, P   〈  0.001). The results of the multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that elevated uric acid was a risk factor for the rapid decline in kidney function (OR = 1.640, P   〈  0.001). Conclusion Elevated SUA levels were a risk factor for the rapid decline in kidney function in the Chinese health examination population. Higher SUA levels might predict the occurrence of progressive kidney impairment.

    Abstract: Background. VASH1 is a novel angiogenic regulatory factor, that participates in the process of carcinogenesis and the development of diverse tumors. Our study aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic value of the VASH1 in Lower-Grade Glioma (LGG), to explore its functional network in LGG and its effects on biological behaviors. Methods. LGG transcriptome data, somatic mutation profiles and clinical features analyzed in the present study were obtained from the TCGA, GTEx, CCLE, CGGA, UALCAN, and GEPIA2 databases, as well as clinical data and tissue sections of 83 LGG patients in our hospital. The expression characteristics of VASH1 in LGG were investigated by univariate, multivariate, immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, and western-blot. Subsequently, we analyzed the prognostic significance of VASH1 in LGG patients by survival analysis, subject operation characteristic curve, correlation analysis, external validation, independent prognostic significance analysis, and clinical stratification, and confirmed its biological effect on glioma cell lines in vitro. Finally, we performed GO, KEGG, and GSEA to clarify biological functions and related pathways. CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE algorithms were used to calculate the proportion of immune cells and immune microenvironment fraction in LGG. Result. We found that VASH1 is highly expressed in LGG tissues and is associated with poor prognosis, WHO grade, IDH1 wild-type, and progressive disease ( P 〈 0.05 ). Multivariate and the Nomogram model showed that high VASH1 expression was an independent risk factor for glioma prognosis and had better prognostic prediction efficacy in different LGG Patient cohorts (HR = 4.753 and P = 0.002 ). In vitro experiments showed that knockdown of VASH1 expression in glioma cell lines caused increased glioma cell proliferation, invasion, and migration capacity. The mechanism may be related to VASH1 promoting microtubule formation and remodeling of immune microenvironment. Conclusion. Our study firstly found that high VASH1 expression was associated with poor prognosis. In addition, We identified the possible mechanism by which VASH1 functioned in LGG. VASH1 inhibits the invasion and migration of tumor cells by affecting microtubule formation and immune infiltration in the tumor microenvironment. May be an important endogenous anti-tumor factor for LGG and provide a potential biomarker for individualized treatment of LGG.
