    Abstract: Background: The impact of concomitant impairments of left and right ventricular (LV and RV) strain on the long-term prognosis of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not clear. Methods: We analyzed CMR images and followed up 420 first STEMI patients from the EARLY Assessment of MYOcardial Tissue Characteristics by CMR in STEMI (EARLY-MYO-CMR) registry (NCT03768453). These patients received timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 12 h and CMR examination within 1 week (median, 5 days; range, 2–7 days) after infarction. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), global radial strain (GRS), and global circumferential strain (GCS) of both ventricles were measured based on CMR cine images. Conventional CMR indexes were also assessed. Primary clinical outcome was composite major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) including cardiovascular death, re-infarction, re-hospitalization for heart failure and stroke. In addition, CMR data from 40 people without apparent heart disease were used as control group. Results: Compared to controls, both LV and RV strains were remarkably reduced in STEMI patients. During follow-up (median: 52 months, interquartile range: 29–68 months), 80 patients experienced major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) including cardiovascular death, re-infarction, heart failure, and stroke. LV-GCS & gt; −11.20% was an independent predictor of MACCEs ( P & lt; 0.001). RV-GRS was the only RV strain index that could effectively predict the risk of MACCEs (AUC = 0.604, 95% CI [0.533, 0.674], P = 0.004). Patient with RV-GRS ≤ 38.79% experienced more MACCEs than those with preserved RV-GRS (log rank P & lt; 0.001). Moreover, patients with the concomitant decrease of LV-GCS and RV-GRS were more likely to experience MACCEs than patients with decreased LV-GCS alone (log rank P = 0.010). RV-GRS was incremental to LV-GCS for the predictive power of MACCEs (continuous NRI: 0.327; 95% CI: 0.095–0.558; P = 0.006). Finally, tobacco use ( P = 0.003), right coronary artery involvement ( P = 0.002), and LV-GCS & gt; −11.20% ( P = 0.012) was correlated with lower RV-GRS. Conclusions: The concomitant decrease of LV and RV strain is associated with a worse long-term prognosis than impaired LV strain alone. Combination assessment of both LV and RV strain indexes could improve risk stratification of patients with STEMI. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT03768453.

    Abstract: Prostate transmembrane protein androgen induced 1 ( PMEPA1 ) has been reported to promote cancer progression, but the potential role of PMEPA1 in bladder cancer (BLCA) remains elusive. We assess the role of PMEPA1 in BLCA, via a publicly available database and in vitro study. PMEPA1 was identified from 107 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to have prognostic value. GO, KEGG, and GSEA analysis indicated that PMEPA1 was involved in cancer progression and the tumor microenvironment (TME). Then bioinformatical analysis in TCGA, GEO, TIMER, and TISIDB show a positive correlation with the inflammation and infiltration levels of three tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TAMs, CAFs, and MDSCs) and immune/stromal scores in TME. Moreover, in vitro study revealed that PMEPA1 promotes bladder cancer cell malignancy. Immunohistochemistry and survival analysis shed light on PMEPA1 potential to be a novel biomarker in predicting tumor progression and prognosis. At last, we also analyzed the role of PMEPA1 in predicting the molecular subtype and the response to several treatment options in BLCA. We found that PMEPA1 may be a novel potential biomarker to predict the progression, prognosis, and molecular subtype of BLCA.

    Abstract: To compare the effects of real-time and retrospective flash glucose monitoring (FGM) on daily glycemic control and lifestyle in patients with type 2 diabetes on premix insulin therapy. Methods and Results A total of 172 patients using premix insulin, with HbA1c ≥ 7.0% (56 mmol/mol), or the time below the target (TBR) ≥ 4%, or the coefficient of variation (CV) ≥36% during the screening period, were randomly assigned to retrospective FGM (n = 89) or real-time FGM group (n = 83). Another two retrospective or real-time 14-day FGMs were performed respectively, 1 month apart. Both groups received educations and medication adjustment after each FGM. Time in range (3.9~10.0 mmol/l, TIR) increased significantly after 3 months in the real-time FGM group (6.5%) compared with the retrospective FGM group (-1.1%) ( p = 0.014). HbA1c decreased in both groups (both p & lt; 0.01). Real-time FGMs increased daily exercise time compared with the retrospective group ( p = 0.002). Conclusions Real-time FGM with visible blood glucose improves daily glycemic control and diabetes self-care behaviors better than retrospective FGM in patients with type 2 diabetes on premix insulin therapy.

    Abstract: Background: Previous research suggested that Chinese Medicine (CM) Formula Huashibaidu granule might shorten the disease course in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. This research aimed to investigate the early treatment effect of Huashibaidu granule in well-managed patients with mild COVID-19. Methods: An unblinded cluster-randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Dongxihu FangCang hospital. Two cabins were randomly allocated to a CM or control group, with 204 mild COVID-19 participants in each cabin. All participants received conventional treatment over a 7 day period, while the ones in CM group were additionally given Huashibaidu granule 10 g twice daily. Participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint. The primary outcome was worsening symptoms before the clinical endpoint. The secondary outcomes were cure and discharge before the clinical endpoint and alleviation of composite symptoms after the 7 days of treatment. Results: All 408 participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint and included in statistical analysis. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups ( P & gt; 0.05). The number of worsening patients in the CM group was 5 (2.5%), and that in the control group was 16 (7.8%) with a significant difference between groups ( P = 0.014). Eight foreseeable mild adverse events occurred without statistical difference between groups ( P = 0.151). Conclusion: Seven days of early treatment with Huashibaidu granule reduced the likelihood of worsening symptoms in patients with mild COVID-19. Our study supports Huashibaidu granule as an active option for early treatment of mild COVID-19 in similar well-managed medical environments.

    Abstract: Surveillance of the Seneca Valley virus (SVV) shows a disproportionately higher incidence on Chinese pig farms. Currently, there are no vaccines or drugs to treat SVV infection effectively and effective treatment options are urgently needed. Methods In this study, we evaluated the antiviral activity of the following medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) or triglycerides (MCTs) against SVV: caprylic acid, caprylic monoglyceride, capric monoglyceride, and monolaurin. Results In vitro experiments showed that monolaurin inhibited viral replication by up to 80%, while in vivo studies showed that monolaurin reduced clinical manifestations, viral load, and organ damage in SVV-infected piglets. Monolaurin significantly reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines and promoted the release of interferon-γ, which enhanced the viral clearance activity of this type of MCFA. Discussion Therefore, monolaurin is a potentially effective candidate for the treatment of SVV infection in pigs.

    Abstract: Muscle mass loss is common in long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim was to explore the prevalence and effects of RA disease characteristics in patients with early RA. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out based on a Chinese RA cohort and control subjects. The body composition (BC) was assessed using bioelectric impedance analysis. Myopenia was defined by an appendicular skeletal muscle mass index of ≤ 7.0 kg/m 2 in men and ≤ 5.7 kg/m 2 in women. Physical dysfunction was defined as a health assessment questionnaire disability index & gt; 1. Propensity score matching was performed to balance age and gender differences among patients with early RA (disease duration ≤ 12 months) and established RA, and controls (with 1:3:3 matching). Results In total, 2017 controls and 1,008 patients with RA were recruited for this study. Among the patients with RA, there were 190 (18.8%) patients with early RA, with a median disease duration of 7 (4, 11) months. The matched patients with early RA ( n = 160) showed a higher prevalence of myopenia than the matched controls (41.3 vs. 15.8%, P & lt; 0.0167), but no difference was found in the matched patients with established RA (41.3 vs. 50.4%, P & gt; 0.0167). Compared with the patients with established RA, the patients with early RA exhibited higher disease activity scores [disease activity score in 28 joints with four variables including C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP): median 4.76 vs. 3.93, P & lt; 0.001] and a higher prevalence of physical dysfunction (26.3 vs. 19.4%, P = 0.035). In the patients with early RA, patients with myopenia showed a higher prevalence of physical dysfunction than those without myopenia (41.3 vs. 15.5%, P & lt; 0.001), among which walking and common daily activities were the most involved subdimensions. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that DAS28-CRP was positively associated with myopenia [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.558, 95% CI (1.138–2.132)], and myopenia [AOR 2.983, 95% CI (1.192–7.465)] was independently associated with physical dysfunction in the patients with early RA. Conclusion Our data indicate the importance of early detection of muscle involvement in the early stage of RA and imply the significance of early aggressive control of disease activity for the prevention of myopenia and physical dysfunction in patients with early RA. Our study provides a new perspective on RA management.

    Abstract: The heterogeneous crosstalk between tumor cells and other cells in their microenvironment means a notable difference in clinical outcomes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). CD8+ T cells and macrophages are effector factors of the immune system, which have direct killing and phagocytosis effects on tumor cells. How the evolution of their role in the tumor microenvironment influences patients clinically remains a mystery. This study aims to investigate the complex communication networks in the HNSCC tumor immune microenvironment, elucidate the interactions between immune cells and tumors, and establish prognostic risk model. Methods 20 HNSCC samples single-cell rna sequencing (scRNA-seq) data and bulk rna-seq data were derived from public databases. The “cellchat” R package was used to identify cell-to-cell communication networks and prognostic related genes, and then cell-cell communication (ccc) molecular subtypes were constructed by unsupervised clustering. Kaplan-Meier(K-M) survival analysis, clinical characteristics analysis, immune microenvironment analysis, immune cell infiltration analysis and CD8+T cell differentiation correlation analysis were performed. Finally, the ccc gene signature including APP, ALCAM, IL6, IL10 and CD6 was constructed based on univariate Cox analysis and multivariate Cox regression. Kaplan-Meier analysis and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were used to evaluate the model in the train group and the validation group, respectively. Results With CD8+T cells from naive to exhaustion state, significantly decreased expression of protective factor (CD6 gene) is associated with poorer prognosis in patients with HNSCC. The role of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment has been identified as tumor-associated macrophage (TAM), which can promote tumor proliferation and help tumor cells provide more nutrients and channels to facilitate tumor cell invasion and metastasis. In addition, based on the strength of all ccc in the tumor microenvironment, we identified five prognostic ccc gene signatures (cccgs), which were identified as independent prognostic factors by univariate and multivariate analysis. The predictive power of cccgs was well demonstrated in different clinical groups in train and test cohorts. Conclusion Our study highlights the propensity for crosstalk between tumors and other cells and developed a novel signature on the basis of a strong association gene for cell communication that has a powerful ability to predict prognosis and immunotherapy response in patients with HNSCC. This may provide some guidance for developing diagnostic biomarkers for risk stratification and therapeutic targets for new therapeutic strategies.
