    Abstract: Preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury is the main direction of myocardial infarction treatment in the convalescent stage. Some studies have suggested that saponins in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations can protect the myocardium by various mechanisms. Our meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of TCM saponins in treating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) and to summarize the potential molecular mechanisms further. Methods We conducted a literature search in six electronic databases [Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Sinomed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI)] until October 2022. Results Seventeen eligible studies included 386 animals (254 received saponins and 132 received vehicles). The random effect model is used to calculate the combined effect. The effect size is expressed as the weighted average difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Compared with placebo, saponins preconditioning reduced infarct size after MIRI significantly (WMD: −3.60,95% CI: −4.45 to −2.74, P   & lt; 0.01, I 2 : 84.7%, P   & lt; 0.001), and significantly increased EF (WMD: 3.119, 95% CI: 2.165 to 4.082, P   & lt; 0.01, I 2 : 82.9%, P   & lt; 0.0 L) and FS (WMD: 3.157, 95% CI: 2.218 to 4.097, P   & lt; 0.001, I 2 : 81.3%, P   & lt; 0.001). Discussion The results show that the pre-administration of saponins from TCM has a significant protective effect on MIRI in preclinical studies, which provides an application prospect for developing anti-MIRI drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity.

    Abstract: The aim of this work is to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with nuclear pedigree of esophageal cancer. The clinicopathological data and follow-up information of 3,260 patients from different nuclear pedigree of esophageal cancer who underwent radical resection of esophageal cancer were collected, and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of the patients were analyzed. The male to female ratio of 3,260 patients with esophageal cancer was 1.7:1. The diagnosis age was ranged from 32 to 85 (60.2 ± 8.1) years old. About 53.8% of the patients were ≥ 60 years old; About 88.8% of the patients came from the high incidence area of esophageal cancer; About 82.5% of the tumors were located in the middle and lower segments of esophagus; Poor, moderate and well differentiation accounted for 26.6%, 61.9% and 11.5% respectively; The surgical margin accounted for 94.3%; 47.6% of the tumors were shorter than 4 cm in length; Clinicopathological TNM stage (0+I) accounted for 15.2%, and stage II, III and IV accounted for 54.5%, 29.9% and 0.4%, respectively. Cox analysis showed that male, diagnosed age ≥ 60 years, tumor located in neck and upper esophageal segments, poor differentiation, tumor length ≥ 4 cm, and advanced TNM were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients in nuclear pedigree with esophageal cancer. Gender, diagnosis age, tumor location, degree of differentiation, tumor length and TNM stage are the influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with nuclear pedigree of esophageal cancer, which will provide important data for the future study of esophageal cancer family aggregation.

    Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the occurrence and development of HCC through multiple pathways. Our previous study reported the specific molecular mechanism for sulfatide regulation of integrin αV expression and cell adhesion in HCC cells through lncRNA AY927503. Next, it is necessary to identify more sulfatide-related lncRNAs, explore their clinical signifcance, and determine new targeted treatment strategies. Methods Microarrays were used to screen a complete set of lncRNAs with different expression profiles in sulfatide-treated cells. Sulfatide-related lncRNAs expression data and corresponding HCC patient survival information were obtained from the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the prognosis prediction model was constructed based on Cox regression analysis. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation with next generation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) was used to detemine the effect of sulfatide on lncRNAs m6A modification. Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and Gene set nnrichment analysis (GSEA) were utilized to enrich the immune and functional pathways of sulfatide-related lncRNAs. Results A total of 85 differentially expressed lncRNAs (|Fold Change (FC)| & gt;2, P & lt;0.05) were screened in sulfatide-treated HCC cells. As a result, 24 sulfatide-related lncRNAs were highly expressed in HCC tissues, six of which were associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients. Based on thses data, a sulfatide-related lncRNAs prognosis assessment model for HCC was constructed. According to this risk score analysis, the overall survival (OS) curve showed that the OS of high-risk patients was significantly lower than that of low-risk patients (P & lt;0.05). Notably, the expression difference in sulfatide-related lncRNA NRSN2-AS1 may be related to sulfatide-induced RNA m6A methylation. In addition, the expression level of NRSN2-AS1 was significantly positively correlated with immune cell infiltration in HCC and participated in the peroxisome and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathways. Conclusions In conclusion, sulfatide-related lncRNAs might be promising prognostic and therapeutic targets for HCC.

    Abstract: Background: CODAS syndrome (MIM 600373) is a multi-system developmental disorder characterized by cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies. CODAS syndrome is rare in the world and no cases have been reported in Chinese population so far. Mutations in the LONP1 gene can contribute to CODAS syndrome, while the underlying molecular mechanisms requires further investigation. Method: We described a Chinese boy who has suffered from cognition impairment, cataracts, caries, abnormal auricle and skeletal anomalies since birth. The patient’s parents are non-consanguineous and healthy. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was employed to explore the genetic entity of this family. Results: A compound heterozygous missense mutation (NM_004793: c.2009C & gt;T/p.A670V and c.2014C & gt;T/p.R672C) of LONP1 was identified in the patient. Considering the clinical phenotypes and genetic results, the patient was diagnosed as CODAS syndrome. Conclusion: Here we reported the first case with CODAS syndrome in Chinese population. WES identified a compound heterozygous missense mutation of LONP1 gene in the patients. Our study not only provided data for genetic counseling and clinical diagnosis to this family, but also expanded the clinical spectrum of LONP1 -related CODAS syndrome.

    Abstract: Common weedy rice plants are important genetic resources for modern breeding programs because they are the closest relatives to rice cultivars and their genomes contain elite genes. Determining the utility and copy numbers of WRKY and nucleotide-binding site ( NBS ) resistance-related genes may help to clarify their variation patterns and lead to crop improvements. In this study, the weedy rice line LM8 was examined at the whole-genome level. To identify the Oryza sativa japonica subpopulation that LM8 belongs to, the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 180 cultivated and 23 weedy rice varieties were used to construct a phylogenetic tree and a principal component analysis and STRUCTURE analysis were performed. The results indicated that LM8 with admixture components from japonica (GJ) and indica (XI) belonged to GJ-admixture (GJ-adm), with more than 60% of its genetic background derived from XI-2 (22.98%), GJ-tropical (22.86%), and GJ-subtropical (17.76%). Less than 9% of its genetic background was introgressed from weedy rice. Our results also suggested LM8 may have originated in a subtropical or tropical geographic region. Moreover, the comparisons with Nipponbare (NIP) and Shuhui498 (R498) revealed many specific structure variations (SVs) in the LM8 genome and fewer SVs between LM8 and NIP than between LM8 and R498. Next, 96 WRKY and 464 NBS genes were identified and mapped on LM8 chromosomes to eliminate redundancies. Three WRKY genes ( ORUFILM02g002693 , ORUFILM05g002725 , and ORUFILM05g001757 ) in group III and one RNL [including the resistance to powdery mildew 8 (RPW8) domain, NBS, and leucine rich repeats (LRRs)] type NBS gene ( ORUFILM12g000772 ) were detected in LM8. Among the NBS genes, the RPW8 domain was detected only in ORUFILM12g000772 . This gene may improve plant resistance to pathogens as previously reported. Its classification and potential utility imply LM8 should be considered as a germplasm resource relevant for rice breeding programs.

    Abstract: Schwannoma is a benign tumor, of which degenerated schwannoma is a subtype. Retroperitoneal schwannomas are extremely rare, as they account for only 3% of retroperitoneal tumors.Degenerated schwannoma is a schwannoma subtype. However,degenerated schwannoma occurring in the adrenal glands is extremely rare. Case summary Case 1: A 42-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further examination of a left adrenal mass that was incidentally discovered during a routine physical check-up.No significant abnormalities were found in laboratory tests results. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of the left adrenal gland was performed under general anesthesia. Case 2: A 47-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of a left adrenal mass found on a routine physical examination.The patient was previously in good health, and there was no family history of a similar disorder. Left-sided laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed under general anaesthesia. Case 3: A 62-year-old woman with hypertension and diabetes mellitus was referred to our hospital after an incidentally found left adrenal mass.There was no family history of a similar disorder. Left-sided laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed under general anaesthesia. None of the patients had a recurrence in our study during the postoperative follow-up. Conclusion Degenerated schwannoma of the adrenal glands is very rare. The clinical presentations of degenerated schwannoma are nonspecific; a small number of patients do not have any symptoms, and the mass is only found incidentally during physical examination for any number of reasons. The preoperative diagnosis of adrenal degenerated schwannoma is difficult because the diagnosis must rely on pathological examination and immunohistochemistry assays. The management is surgical excision and regular follow-up.

    Abstract: Despite the increasing use of computed tomography (CT), chest X-ray (CXR) remains the first-line investigation for suspected lung cancer (LC) in primary care. However, the associations of CXR trajectories, smoking and LC risk remain unknown. Methods A total of 52,486 participants from the PLCO and 22,194 participants from the NLST were included. The associations of CXR trajectories with LC risk were evaluated with multivariable COX regression models and pooled with meta-analyses. Further analyses were conducted to explore the stratified associations by smoking status and the factors associated with progression and regression in CXR. Results Compared to stable negative CXR (CXR SN ), HRs (95%CIs) of LC incidence were 2.88(1.50–5.52), 3.86(2.03–7.35), and 1.08(0.80–1.46) for gain of positive CXR (CXR GP ), stable positive CXR (CXR SP ), and loss of positive CXR (CXR LP ), while the risk of LC mortality were 1.58(1.33–1.87), 2.56(1.53–4.29), and 1.05(0.89–1.25). Similar trends were observed across different smoking status. However, LC risk with CXR GP overweighed that with CXR SP among ever smokers [2.95(2.25–3.88) vs . 2.59(1.33–5.02)] and current smokers [2.33(1.70–3.18) vs . 2.26(1.06–4.83)]. Moreover, compared to CXR SN among never smokers, even no progression in CXR, the HRs(95%CIs) of LC incidence were 7.39(5.60–9.75) and 31.45(23.58–41.95) for ever and current smokers, while risks of LC mortality were 6.30(5.07–7.81) and 27.17(21.65–34.11). If participants gained positive CXR, LC incidence risk significantly climbed to 22.04(15.37–31.60) and 71.97(48.82–106.09) for ever and current smokers, while LC mortality risk climbed to 11.90(8.58–16.50) and 38.92(27.04–56.02). CXR LP was associated with decreased LC risk. However, even smokers lost their positive CXR, and the increased risks of LC incidence and mortality did not decrease to non-significant level. Additionally, smoking was significantly associated with increased risk of CXR GP but not CXR LP . Conclusion LC risk differed across CXR trajectories and would be modified by smoking status. Comprehensive intervention incorporating CXR trajectories and smoking status should be recommended to reduce LC risk.

    Abstract: Spotted scat ( Scatophagus argus ) is an important mariculture fish that is of great economic significance in East and Southeast Asia. To date, there are no studies on ovary development and regulation in S. argus . Herein, the ovary transcriptome profiles of S. argus at different stages were constructed, and the genes and pathways potentially involved in secondary follicle growth were identified. A total of 25,426 genes were detected by sequencing the mRNAs from the ovary libraries at stage III (n=3) and IV (n=3). Notably, 2950 and 716 genes were up-regulated and down-regulated in the stage IV ovary, respectively, compared to the stage III ovary. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found to be mostly involved in regulating steroidogenesis, vitellogenesis, lipid metabolism, and meiosis. Up-regulation of steroid hormone synthesis pathway genes ( fshr , cyp17a1 , and foxl2 ) and insulin-like growth factor pathway genes ( igf1r , ifg2r , igfbp1 , igfbp3 , and igfbp7 ) in the ovary at stage IV was possibly the reason for the increased serum estrogen. Moreover, ppara , ppard , fabp3 , and lpl were up-regulated in the stage IV ovary and were potentially involved in the lipid droplet formation in the oocyte. Many DEGs were involved in the cellular cycle, meiosis, and cAMP or cGMP synthesis and hydrolysis, indicating that meiosis was restarted at stage IV ovary. In addition, numerous TGF-beta signal pathway genes were up-regulated in the stage IV ovary. This ovary transcript dataset forms a baseline for investigating functional genes associated with oogenesis in S. argus .

    Abstract: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of single-dose intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant for treating non-infectious uveitic macular edema (UME). Methods Studies including clinical outcomes of the DEX implant in UME were comprehensively searched in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for potential studies from inception to July 2022. The primary outcomes were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) during the follow-up period. Stata 12.0 was used to perform the statistical analyses. Results Six retrospective studies and one prospective investigation involving 201 eyes were ultimately included. Significantly improved BCVA was observed from baseline to 1 month (WMD = −0.15, 95%CI = −0.24, −0.06), 3 months (WMD = −0.22, 95%CI = −0.29, −0.15), and 6 months (WMD = −0.24, 95%CI = −0.35, −0.13), after single-dose DEX implant. When considering CMT, macular thickness of 1 month (WMD = −179.77, 95%CI = −223.45, −136.09), 3 months (WMD = −179.13, 95%CI = −232.63, −125.63), and 6 months (WMD = −140.25, 95%CI = −227.61, −52.88) decreased in comparison with baseline, with statistical significance. Conclusion Based on the current results, this meta-analysis confirmed favorable visual prognosis and anatomical improvement in patients with UME, after receiving the single-dose DEX implant. The most common adverse event is increased intraocular pressure, which could be controlled with topical medications.

    Abstract: Unicornuate uterus is a congenital uterine malformation. Unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn, ovarian endometriosis, and congenital renal agenesis are rare combinations that can be easily misdiagnosed due to the lack of typical clinical manifestations. Case summary A 19-year-old woman with pelvic pain was admitted to the hospital after a month. Physical examination was unremarkable. B-ultrasound and CT scan both indicated pelvic ectopic kidney. In addition, renal scintigraphy revealed normal perfusion and function of the right kidney, but the perfusion and function of the left kidney were not visible. A left pelvic ectopic kidney was diagnosed by preoperative images. A laparoscopic left pelvic ectopic nephrectomy was performed after adequate surgical preparation. However, the postoperative pathological diagnosis revealed a rudimentary uterine horn with ovarian endometriosis and congenital renal agenesis. Fortunately, she got recovered and was discharged from the hospital after 5 days following the operation. Moreover, she received regular follow-ups at the gynecology clinic. To date, no right adnexal or uterine abnormalities have been detected on ultrasound during the follow-up visits. Conclusion Rudimentary uterine horn with ovarian endometriosis and congenital renal agenesis are rare and are easily Misdiagnosed due to the lack of typical clinical manifestations. A gynecological examination is recommended for patients who may have this disease.
