    Abstract: Maternal stress during pregnancy can raise the risk of mental disorders in offspring. The continuous emergence of clinical concepts and the introduction of new technologies are great challenges. In this study, through bibliometric analysis, the research trends and hotspots on prenatal stress (PS) were explored to comprehend clinical treatments and recommend future scientific research directions. Methods Studies on PS published on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database between 2011 and 2021 were reviewed. Bibliometric analysis was conducted according to the number of publications, keywords, journals, citations, affiliations, and countries. With the data collected from the WoSCC, visualization of geographic distribution; clustering analysis of keywords, affiliations, and authors; and descriptive analysis and review of PS were carried out. Results A total of 7,087 articles published in 2011–2021 were retrieved. During this period, the number of publications increased. Psychoneuroendocrinology is the leading journal on PS. The largest contributor was the United States. The University of California system was leading among institutions conducting relevant research. Wang H, King S, and Tain YL were scholars with significant contributions. Hotspots were classified into four clusters, namely, pregnancy, prenatal stress, oxidative stress, and growth. Conclusion The number of studies on PS increased. Journals, countries, institutions, researchers with the most contributions, and most cited articles worldwide were extracted. Studies have mostly concentrated on treating diseases, the application of new technologies, and the analysis of epidemiological characteristics. Multidisciplinary integration is becoming the focus of current development. Epigenetics is increasingly used in studies on PS. Thus, it constitutes a solid foundation for future clinical medical and scientific research.

    Abstract: The role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its acquisition of resistance to treatment become the research hotspots. As an important component of TME, the tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) regulate multiple critical oncogenic processes, namely, occurrence, proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance in CRC. In this review, we have discussed the functional and therapeutic significance of TAMs in CRC. M1 macrophages act as the tumor suppressor while M2 macrophages promote CRC. The polarization of TAMs is mainly regulated by the pathways such as NFKB1 pathways, STAT3 pathways, WNT5A pathways, and PI3K pathways in CRC. Furthermore, the M2 polarization of TAMs is not only controllable but also reversible. Finally, we provide insights into the TAMs-targeted therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract: Evidence from prevailing studies show that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the top cancers with high mortality globally. Gene regulation at post-transcriptional level orchestrated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is an important mechanism that modifies various biological behaviors of HCC. Currently, it is not fully understood how RBPs affects the prognosis of HCC. In this study, we aimed to construct and validate an RBP-related model to predict the prognosis of HCC patients. Methods Differently expressed RBPs were identified in HCC patients based on the GSE54236 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Integrative bioinformatics analyses were performed to select hub genes. Gene expression patterns were validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, after which univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, as well as Kaplan-Meier analysis were performed to develop a prognostic model. Then, the performance of the prognostic model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and clinicopathological correlation analysis. Moreover, data from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) database were used for external validation. Finally, a nomogram combining clinicopathological parameters and prognostic model was established for the individual prediction of survival probability. Results The prognostic risk model was finally constructed based on two RBPs (BOP1 and EZH2), facilitating risk-stratification of HCC patients. Survival was markedly higher in the low-risk group relative to the high-risk group. Moreover, higher risk score was associated with advanced pathological grade and late clinical stage. Besides, the risk score was found to be an independent prognosis factor based on multivariate analysis. Nomogram including the risk score and clinical stage proved to perform better in predicting patient prognosis. Conclusions The RBP-related prognostic model established in this study may function as a prognostic indicator for HCC, which could provide evidence for clinical decision making.

    Abstract: As Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccines became available in December 2020, increasingly more surveys were organized to examine the acceptance of vaccination, while most of them were conducted online. This study aimed to explore the difference between online and traditional on-site surveys in terms of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. From November to December 2020, an online survey ( n = 2013) and an on-site survey ( n = 4,316) were conducted simultaneously in China. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify influencing factors of acceptance, and propensity score matching (PSM) was adopted to balance the outcomes. As a result, 90.0% of the online respondents accepted COVID-19 vaccination, while it was only 82.1% in the on-site survey. After applying PSM, the acceptance rate of the on-site survey was declined to 78.6%. The age structure, residence location, education, and health status were observed as important factors in addressing vaccination acceptance, which needed to be specifically considered when designing online surveys.

    Abstract: To use the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES) to develop and validate a risk-prediction nomogram for cognitive impairment in people aged over 60 years. Methods A total of 2,802 participants (aged ≥ 60 years) from NHANES were analyzed. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used for variable selection and model development. ROC-AUC, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the nomogram’s performance. Results The nomogram included five predictors, namely sex, moderate activity, taste problem, age, and education. It demonstrated satisfying discrimination with a AUC of 0.744 (95% confidence interval, 0.696–0.791). The nomogram was well-calibrated according to the calibration curve. The DCA demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful. Conclusion The risk-prediction nomogram for cognitive impairment in people aged over 60 years was effective. All predictors included in this nomogram can be easily accessed from its’ user.

    Abstract: This study aimed to develop and validate a hypoxia signature for predicting survival outcomes in patients with bladder cancer. Methods We downloaded the RNA sequence and the clinicopathologic data of the patients with bladder cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) ( https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/repository?facetTab=files ) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ ) databases. Hypoxia genes were retrieved from the Molecular Signatures Database ( https://www.gsea-msigdb.org/gsea/msigdb/index.jsp ). Differentially expressed hypoxia-related genes were screened by univariate Cox regression analysis and Lasso regression analysis. Then, the selected genes constituted the hypoxia signature and were included in multivariate Cox regression to generate the risk scores. After that, we evaluate the predictive performance of this signature by multiple receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The CIBERSORT tool was applied to investigate the relationship between the hypoxia signature and the immune cell infiltration, and the maftool was used to summarize and analyze the mutational data. Gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to investigate the related signaling pathways of differentially expressed genes in both risk groups. Furthermore, we developed a model and presented it with a nomogram to predict survival outcomes in patients with bladder cancer. Results Eight genes (AKAP12, ALDOB, CASP6, DTNA, HS3ST1, JUN, KDELR3, and STC1) were included in the hypoxia signature. The patients with higher risk scores showed worse overall survival time than the ones with lower risk scores in the training set (TCGA) and two external validation sets (GSE13507 and GSE32548). Immune infiltration analysis showed that two types of immune cells (M0 and M1 macrophages) had a significant infiltration in the high-risk group. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) analysis showed that the risk scores between the wild types and the mutation types of TP53, MUC16, RB1, and FGFR3 were significantly different. Gene-Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) showed that immune or cancer-associated pathways belonged to the high-risk groups and metabolism-related signal pathways were enriched into the low-risk group. Finally, we constructed a predictive model with risk score, age, and stage and validated its performance in GEO datasets. Conclusion We successfully constructed and validated a novel hypoxia signature in bladder cancer, which could accurately predict patients’ prognosis.

    Abstract: Previous observational studies have shown that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was associated with adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. However, it remains controversial whether PCOS is an essential risk factor for these adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. We aimed to use instrumental variables in a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to determine causality between PCOS and adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. Materials and methods Summary statistics were extracted from a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis conducted in PCOS, which included 10,074 cases and 103,164 controls of European ancestry. Data on Adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were summarized from the FinnGen database of European ancestry, which included more than 180,000 samples. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method of MR was applied for the main outcome. To assess heterogeneity and pleiotropy, we conducted sensitivity analyses, including leave-one-out analysis, weighted median, MR-PRESSO (Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier), and MR-Egger regression. Results Two-sample MR analysis with the IVW method suggested that PCOS exerted causal effects on the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy [odds ratio (OR) 1.170, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.051–1.302, p = 0.004], in particular gestational hypertension (OR 1.083, 95% CI 1.007–1.164, p = 0.031), but not other pregnancy and perinatal diseases (all p & gt; 0.05). Sensitivity analyses demonstrated pleiotropy only in pre-eclampsia or eclampsia ( p = 0.0004), but not in other pregnancy and perinatal diseases (all p & gt; 0.05). The results remained consistent after excluding two outliers (all p & gt; 0.05). Conclusions We confirmed a causal relationship between PCOS and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, in particular gestational hypertension, but no association with any other adverse pregnancy or perinatal outcome. Therefore, we suggest that women with PCOS who are pregnant should have their blood pressure closely monitored.

    Abstract: In past decades, meat quality traits have been shaped by human-driven selection in the process of genetic improvement programs. Exploring the potential genetic basis of artificial selection and mapping functional candidate genes for economic traits are of great significance in genetic improvement of pigs. In this study, we focus on investigating the genetic basis of five meat quality traits, including intramuscular fat content (IMF), drip loss, water binding capacity, pH at 45 min (pH45min), and ultimate pH (pH24h). Through making phenotypic gradient differential population pairs, Wright’s fixation index (F ST ) and the cross-population extended haplotype homozogysity (XPEHH) were applied to detect selection signatures for these five traits. Finally, a total of 427 and 307 trait-specific selection signatures were revealed by F ST and XPEHH, respectively. Further bioinformatics analysis indicates that some genes, such as USF1 , NDUFS2 , PIGM , IGSF8 , CASQ1 , and ACBD6 , overlapping with the trait-specific selection signatures are responsible for the phenotypes including fat metabolism and muscle development. Among them, a series of promising trait-specific selection signatures that were detected in the high IMF subpopulation are located in the region of 93544042-95179724bp on SSC4, and the genes harboring in this region are all related to lipids and muscle development. Overall, these candidate genes of meat quality traits identified in this analysis may provide some fundamental information for further exploring the genetic basis of this complex trait.

    Abstract: Previous studies have shown that various cell indices are associated with a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), however, whether these findings reflect a causal relationship remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess the causal association of various blood cells with VTE risk. Study Design and Methods Summary statistics of genetic instruments representing cell indices for erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets were extracted from genome-wide association studies of European ancestry, by Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization. Inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the primary analytical method for MR. Sensitivity analyses were performed to detect horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity. Results Genetically predicted red blood cell distribution width, mean reticulocyte volume, and mean red blood cell volume were positively associated with VTE, with odds ratio (OR) of 1.002 [CI 1.000–1.003, P = 0.022), 1.003 (CI 1.001–1.004, P = 0.001, respectively)] and 1.001 (CI 1.000–1.002, P = 0.005). Genetically predicted monocyte count was negatively correlated with VTE, with OR = 0.998 (CI 0.996–0.999, P = 0.041). Conclusion Genetically liability to high- red blood cell distribution width, mean reticulocyte volume, mean red blood cell volume, and low monocyte count are associated with the higher risk of VTE. Targeting these factors might be a potential strategy to prevent VTE.

    Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a highly aggressive tumor, has high incidence and mortality rates. Recently, immunotherapies have been shown to be a promising treatment in HCC. The results of either the CheckMate-040 or IMbrave 150 trials demonstrate the importance of immunotherapy in the systemic treatment of liver cancer. Thus, in this study, we tried to establish a reliable prognostic model for liver cancer based on immune-related genes (IRGs) and to provide a new insight for immunotherapy of HCC. In this study, we used four datasets that incorporated 851 HCC samples, including 340 samples with complete clinical information from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database, to establish an effective model for predicting the prognosis of HCC patients based on the differential expression of IRGs and validated the prognostic model using the data from International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC). The top 6 characteristic IRGs identified by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, MMP9, FOS, CAT, ESR1, ANGPTL3, and KLKB1, were selected for further study. In addition, we assessed the correlations of the six characteristic IRGs with the tumor immune microenvironment, clinical stage, and sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs. We also explored whether the differential expression of the characteristic IRGs was specific to HCC or present in pan-cancer. The expression levels of the six characteristic IRGs were significantly different between most tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues. In addition, these characteristic IRGs showed a strong association with immune cell infiltration in HCC patients. We found that MMP9 and ESR1 were independent prognostic factors for HCC, while CAT, ESR1, and KLKB1 were associated with the clinical stage. We collected HCC paraffin sections from 24 patients from Xijing hospital to identify the differential expression of the five genes (MMP9, ESR1, CAT, FOS, and KLKB1). Finally, the results of decision curve analysis (DCA) and nomogram revealed that our models provided a prognostic benefit for most HCC patients and the predicted overall survival (OS) was consistent with the actual OS. In conclusion, we systemically constructed a novel prognostic model that provides new insights into HCC.
