    Abstract: Akebia trifoliata is an important multiuse perennial plant that often suffers attacks from various pathogens due to its long growth cycle, seriously affecting its commercial value. The absence of research on the resistance ( R ) genes of A. trifoliata has greatly limited progress in the breeding of resistant varieties. Genes encoding proteins containing nucleotide binding sites (NBSs) and C-terminal leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), the largest family of plant resistance ( R ) genes, are vital for plant disease resistance. A comprehensive genome-wide analysis showed that there were only 73 NBS genes in the A. trifoliata genome, including three main subfamilies (50 coiled coil ( CC )- NBS-LRR ( CNL ), 19 Toll/interleukin-1 receptor ( TIR )- NBS-LRR ( TNL ) and four resistance to powdery mildew8 ( RPW8 )- NBS - LRR ( RNL ) genes). Additionally, 64 mapped NBS candidates were unevenly distributed on 14 chromosomes, most of which were assigned to the chromosome ends; 41 of these genes were located in clusters, and the remaining 23 genes were singletons. Both the CNLs and TNLs were further divided into four subgroups, and the CNLs had fewer exons than the TNLs . Structurally, all eight previously reported conserved motifs were identified in the NBS domains, and both their order and their amino acid sequences exhibited high conservation. Evolutionarily, tandem and dispersed duplications were shown to be the two main forces responsible for NBS expansion, producing 33 and 29 genes, respectively. A transcriptome analysis of three fruit tissues at four developmental stages showed that NBS genes were generally expressed at low levels, while a few of these genes showed relatively high expression during later development in rind tissues. Overall, this research is the first to identify and characterize A. trifoliata NBS genes and is valuable for both the development of new resistant cultivars and the study of molecular mechanisms of resistance.

    Abstract: Infection during hospitalization is a serious complication among patients who suffered from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, there are no suitable and accurate means to assess risk. This study aimed to develop and validate a simple scoring system to predict post-AMI infection in such patients. Methods All patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing PCI consecutively enrolled from January 2010 to May 2016 were served as derivation cohort, and those from June 2016 to May 2018 as validation cohort, respectively. The primary endpoint was post-AMI infection during hospitalization, and all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were considered as secondary endpoints. The simplified risk model was established using logistic regression. The area under the receiver operating curve and calibration of predicted and observed infection risk were calculated. Results A 24-point risk score was developed, with infection risk ranging from 0.7 to 99.6% for patients with the lowest and highest score. Seven variables including age, Killip classification, insulin use, white blood cell count, serum albumin, diuretic use, and transfemoral approach were included. This model achieved the same high discrimination in the development and validation cohort (C-statistic:0.851) and revealed adequate calibration in both datasets. The incidences of post-AMI infection increased steadily across risk score groups in both development (1.3, 5.1, 26.3, and 69.1%; P & lt; 0.001) and validation (1.8, 5.9, 27.2, and 79.2%; P & lt; 0.001) cohort. Moreover, the risk score demonstrated good performance for infection, in-hospital all-cause death, and MACE among these patients, as well as in patients with the non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome. Conclusion This present risk score established a simple bedside tool to estimate the risk of developing infection and other in-hospital outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. Clinicians can use this risk score to evaluate the infection risk and subsequently make evidence-based decisions.

    Abstract: Background: Post-acute myocardial infarction (post-AMI) infection is an infrequent but important and serious complication in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Predicting its occurrence is essential for future prevention. However, little is known about the prediction of post-AMI infection in such patients to date. This study aims to develop and validate a new risk score based on risk factors for early prediction of infection in STEMI patients undergoing PCI. Methods: This prospective, multi-center and observational study assesses the predictive value of risk score for post-AMI infection among a cohort of patients hospitalized due to STEMI. The STEMI patients undergoing PCI enrolled between January 1st 2010 and May 31st 2016 were served as a development cohort while those enrolled from June 1st 2016 to May 31st 2018 were served as validation cohort. The primary endpoint was post-AMI infection during hospitalization, defined as infection requiring antibiotics (reflecting the clinical influence of infection compatible with the necessity for additional treatment), and all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and stroke were considered as secondary endpoints. The risk score model based on risk factors was established using stepwise logistic regression, and will be validated in other centers and external patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Results: This study will provide evidence on prognostic property, reliability of scoring, comparative performance, and suitability of the novel model for screening purpose in order to be recommended for clinical practice. Discussion: Our study is designed to develop and validate a clinical risk score for predicting infection in participants with STEMI who have undergone PCI. This simple tool may therefore improve evaluation of post-AMI infection and enhance future researches into the best practices to prevent or reduce infection in such patients.

    Abstract: It is unclear whether admission-blood-glucose-to-albumin ratio (AAR) predicts adverse clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who are treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Here, we performed a observational study to explore the predictive value of AAR on clinical outcomes. Methods Patients diagnosed with STEMI who underwent PCI between January 2010 and February 2020 were enrolled in the study. The patients were classified into three groups according to AAR tertile. The primary outcome was in-hospital all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcomes were in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), as well as all-cause mortality and MACEs during follow-up. Logistic regression, Kaplan–Meier analysis, and Cox proportional hazard regression were the primary analyses used to estimate outcomes. Results Among the 3,224 enrolled patients, there were 130 cases of in-hospital all-cause mortality (3.9%) and 181 patients (5.4%) experienced MACEs. After adjustment for covariates, multivariate analysis demonstrated that an increase in AAR was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital all-cause mortality [adjusted odds ratio (OR): 2.72, 95% CI: 1.47–5.03, P  = 0.001] and MACEs (adjusted OR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.18–3.10, P  = 0.009), as well as long-term all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.64, 95% CI: 1.19–2.28, P  = 0.003] and MACEs (adjusted HR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.16–2.14, P  = 0.003). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that AAR was an accurate predictor of in-hospital all-cause mortality (AUC = 0.718, 95% CI: 0.675–0.761) and MACEs (AUC = 0.672, 95% CI: 0.631–0.712). Discussion AAR is a novel and convenient independent predictor of all-cause mortality and MACEs, both in-hospital and long-term, for STEMI patients receiving PCI.

    Abstract: Aims: Very few of the risk scores to predict infection in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have been validated, and reports on their differences. We aimed to validate and compare the discriminatory value of different risk scores for infection. Methods: A total of 2,260 eligible patients with STEMI undergoing PCI from January 2010 to May 2018 were enrolled. Six risk scores were investigated: age, serum creatinine, or glomerular filtration rate, and ejection fraction (ACEF or AGEF) score; Canada Acute Coronary Syndrome (CACS) risk score; CHADS 2 score; Global Registry for Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score; and Mehran score conceived for contrast induced nephropathy. The primary endpoint was infection during hospitalization. Results: Except CHADS 2 score (AUC, 0.682; 95%CI, 0.652–0.712), the other risk scores showed good discrimination for predicting infection. All risk scores but CACS risk score (calibration slope, 0.77; 95%CI, 0.18–1.35) showed best calibration for infection. The risks scores also showed good discrimination for in-hospital major adverse clinical events (MACE) (AUC range, 0.700–0.786), except for CHADS 2 score. All six risk scores showed best calibration for in-hospital MACE. Subgroup analysis demonstrated similar results. Conclusions: The ACEF, AGEF, CACS, GRACE, and Mehran scores showed a good discrimination and calibration for predicting infection and MACE.

    Abstract: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment has been used to treat advanced urothelial cancer. Molecular markers might improve risk stratification and prediction of ICI benefit for urothelial cancer patients. We analyzed 406 cases of bladder urothelial cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data set and identified 161 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) as differentially expressed immunity genes (DEIGs). Using the LASSO Cox regression model, an eight-mRNA-based risk signature was built. We validated the prognostic and predictive accuracy of this immune-related risk signature in 348 metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) samples treated with anti-PD-L1 (atezolizumab) from IMvigor210. We built an immune-related risk signature based on the eight mRNAs: ANXA1, IL22, IL9R, KLRK1, LRP1, NRG3, SEMA6D, and STAP2. The eight-mRNA-based risk signature successfully categorizes patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. Overall survival was significantly different between these groups, regardless if the initial TCGA training set, the internal TCGA testing set, all TCGA set, or the ICI treatment set. The hazard ratio (HR) of the high-risk group to the low-risk group was 3.65 ( p & lt; 0.0001), 2.56 ( p & lt; 0.0001), 3.36 ( p & lt; 0.0001), and 2.42 ( p = 0.0009). The risk signature was an independent prognostic factor for prediction survival. Moreover, the risk signature was related to immunity characteristics. In different tumor mutational burden (TMB) subgroups, it successfully categorizes patients into high-risk and low-risk groups, with significant differences of clinical outcome. Our eight-mRNA-based risk signature is a stable biomarker for urothelial cancer and might be able to predict which patients benefit from ICI treatment. It might play a role in precision individualized immunotherapy.

    Abstract: To directly reveal the change in genome mutation, RNA transcript of tumor cells, and tumor microenvironment (TME) after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in paired human lung tumor specimens. Materials and Methods Paired tumor samples were collected from 10 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or lung metastatic carcinoma within a week before and after SBRT. DNA and RNA of tumor tissues was extracted from the paired samples. Whole-exome and RNA sequencing assays were performed by next-generation sequencing. Gene mutation, genomic expression, T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, and profiling of tumor-infiltrating immune cells were analyzed through bioinformatics analysis in paired tumor samples. CD8+ T-cell infiltration and PD-L1 expressions were detected by immunostaining in tumor tissues. Results The diversity of TCR repertoire and PD-L1 expression increased significantly in the TME, and the most enriched term of the gene ontology analysis was the immune response gene after receiving SBRT. SBRT induced neo-mutation of genes in tumor cells but did not increase tumor mutation burden in tumor tissues. TME displayed complex immune cell changes and infiltration and expression of immune-regulating factors such as C-X-C motif chemokine (CXCL) 10, CXCL16, interferons (IFNs), and IFN receptors. CD8+ T-cells in tumor tissues did not improve significantly after SBRT while the infiltrating TH1 and TH2 cells decreased remarkably. Conclusion SBRT improved the TCR repertoire diversity and PD-L1 expression in the TME and induced neo-mutation of genes in tumor cells but did not increase CD8+ T-cell infiltration and IFN expression in the tumor tissue within a week.

    Abstract: Akebia trifoliata is a perennial climbing woody liana plant with a high potential for commercial exploitation and theoretical research. Similarly, microsatellites (simple sequence repeats, SSRs) also have dual roles: as critical markers and as essential elements of the eukaryotic genome. To characterize the profile of SSRs and develop molecular markers, the high-quality assembled genome of A. trifoliata was used. Additionally, to determine the potential transferability of SSR loci, the genomes of Amborella trichopoda , Oryza sativa , Vitis vinifera , Arabidopsis thaliana , Papaver somniferum , and Aquilegia coerulea were also used. We identified 434,293 SSRs with abundant short repeats, such as 290,868 (66.98%) single-nucleotide repeats (SNRs) and 113,299 (26.09%) dinucleotide repeats (DNRs) in the A. trifoliata genome. 398,728 (91.81%) SSRs on 344,283 loci were physically mapped on the chromosomes, and a positive correlation ( r  = 0.98) was found between the number of SSRs and chromosomal length. Additionally, 342,916 (99.60%) potential SSR markers could be designed from the 344,283 physically mapped loci, while only 36,160 could be viewed as high-polymorphism-potential (HPP) markers, findings that were validated by PCR. Finally, SSR loci exhibited broad potential transferability, particularly DNRs such as the “AT/AT” and “AG/CT” loci, among all angiosperms, a finding that was not related to the genetic divergence distance. Practically, we developed a whole set of effective, polymorphic, and physically anchored molecular markers and found that, evolutionarily, DNRs could be responsible for microsatellite origin and protecting gene function.
