    Abstract: The Cyclophyllidea comprises the most species-rich order of tapeworms (Platyhelminthes, Cestoda) and includes species with some of the most severe health impact on wildlife, livestock, and humans. We collected seven Cyclophyllidea specimens from rodents in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and its surrounding mountain systems, of which four specimens in QTP were unsequenced, representing “putative new species.” Their complete mitochondrial ( mt ) genomes were sequenced and annotated. Phylogenetic reconstruction of partial 28S rDNA, cox 1 and nad 1 datasets provided high bootstrap frequency support for the categorization of three “putative new species,” assigning each, respectively, to the genera Mesocestoides , Paranoplocephala , and Mosgovoyia , and revealing that some species and families in these three datasets, which contain 291 species from nine families, may require taxonomic revision. The partial 18S rDNA phylogeny of 29 species from Taeniidae provided high bootstrap frequency support for the categorization of the “putative new species” in the genus Hydatigera . Combined with the current investigation, the other three known Taeniidae species found in this study were Taenia caixuepengi , T. crassiceps , and Versteria mustelae and may be widely distributed in western China. Estimates of divergence time based on cox 1 + nad 1 fragment and mt protein-coding genes (PCGs) showed that the differentiation rate of Cyclophyllidea species was strongly associated with the rate of change in the biogeographic scenarios, likely caused by the uplift of the QTP; i.e., species differentiation of Cyclophyllidea might be driven by host-parasite co-evolution caused by the uplift of QTP. We propose an “out of QTP” hypothesis for the radiation of these cyclophyllidean tapeworms.

    Abstract: In the present study, a new species of the genus Moniliformis species is described taxonomically in the mitochondrial genomic context. The parasite was found in a plateau zokor captured in a high-altitude area of Xiahe County of Gansu Province, China. The mitochondrial ( mt ) genome length of this new species was 14,066 bp comprising 36 genes and 2 additional non-coding regions (SNR and LNR), without atp 8. The molecular phylogeny inferred by the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene ( cox 1) and the18S ribosomal RNA gene (18S rDNA) sequences showed that the parasite as a sister species to other Moniliformis spp. and was named Moniliformis sp. XH-2020. The phylogeny of the concatenated amino acid sequences of the 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs) showed Moniliformis sp. XH-2020 in the same cluster as Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus and Oncicola luehe i confirming the cox 1 and 18S rDNA phylogenetic inference. In addition, the entire mt genome sequenced in this study represents the first in the order Moniliformida, providing molecular material for further study of the phylogeny of the class Archiacanthocephala. Moreover, the species of this class, use arthropods as intermediate hosts and mammals as definitive hosts and are agents of acanthocephaliasis, a zoonosis in humans. Therefore, this study not only expands the host range among potential wild animal hosts for Archiacanthocephalans which is of great ecological and evolutionary significance but also has important significance for the research of zoonotic parasitic diseases.

    Abstract: This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the Nutritional Risk Score 2002 (NRS2002) and patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) for post-operative infections in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent curative surgery. Methods This prospective study included 1,493 GC patients and 879 CRC patients who underwent curative surgery at 18 hospitals in China between April 2017 and March 2020. The NRS2002 and PG-SGA were performed on the day of admission. The relationship between the nutritional status of patients before surgery and post-surgical incidence of infection was analyzed using univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results According to NRS2002, the prevalence of nutritional risk was 51.1% in GC patients and 63.9% in CRC patients. According to the PG-SGA, 38.9% of GC patients and 54.2% of CRC patients had malnutrition. Approximately 4.4% of the GC patients and 9.9% of the CRC patients developed infectious complications after surgery. The univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses showed that the risk of infections was significantly higher in GC patients with a high nutritional risk score (NRS2002 ≥5) than in those with a low score (NRS2002 & lt;3), and the PG-SGA score was identified as a predictor of post-operative infection complications of CRC. Conclusion The pre-operative nutritional status of patients with GC or CRC has an impact on post-operative infection occurrence. NRS2002 ≥5 was a risk factor for post-operative infection in patients with GC, and the PG-SGA B/C was a predictor of infections in patients with CRC.

    Abstract: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive haematological malignancy characterized by highly proliferative accumulation of immature and dysfunctional myeloid cells. Quercetin (Qu), one kind of flavonoid, exhibits anti-cancer property in multiple types of solid tumor, but its effect on acute myeloid leukemia is less studied, and the underlying mechanisms still largely unknown. This study aimed to explore the specific target and potential mechanism of quercetin-induced cell death in AML. First, we found that quercetin induces cell death in the form of apoptosis, which was caspase dependent. Second, we found that quercetin-induced apoptosis depends on the decrease of mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) and Bcl-2 proteins. With quantitative chemical proteomics, we observed the downregulation of VEGFR2 and PI3K/Akt signaling in quercetin-treated cells. Consistently, cell studies also identified that VEGFR2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways are involved in the action of quercetin on mitochondria and Bcl-2 proteins. The decrease of MMP and cell death could be rescued when PI3K/Akt signaling is activated, suggesting that VEGFR2 and PI3K/Akt exert as upstream regulators for quercetin effect on apoptosis induction in AML cells. In conclusion, our findings from this study provide convincing evidence that quercetin induces cell death via downregulation of VEGF/Akt signaling pathways and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in AML cells.

    Abstract: The cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s or CYPs) are heme-containing enzymes which catalyze a wide range of oxidation reactions in nature. In our previous study, a rare multifunctional P450 AstB was found, which can dually oxidize two methyl groups (C-19 and C-21) of preasperterpenoid A to asperterpenoid A with 3-carboxyl and 11-hydroxymethyl groups. However, the oxidation order of C-19 and C-21 catalyzed by AstB is unclear. In order to reveal this oxidation order, probable pathways catalyzed by AstB were proposed, and the oxidation order of C-19 and C-21 was obtained by quantum chemistry calculations. The potential intermediates (three new asperterpenoids D–F, 1 – 3 ) were obtained through the chemical investigation on the extract of the transformant strain and chemical conversions, which were used as the standards to detect their existences in the extract of the transformant strain with HPLC-MS. Combined with the quantum chemistry calculation and the HPLC-MS analysis, the catalyzed order of AstB in asperterpenoid A biosynthesis was revealed. Furthermore, the m PTPB inhibition of obtained asperterpenoids was evaluated, and the results showed that 3-carboxyl and the oxidation station of C-21 would be the key factors for m PTPB inhibition of asperterpenoids.

    Abstract: To analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics and treatment effects for subungual exostosis in children. Methods Clinical data for children with subungual exostosis treated in our department from January 2008 to September 2022 were evaluated. Results Forty children with subungual exostosis were evaluated, comprising 31 boys (77.5%) and 9 girls (22.5%) with a median age of 9 years (4–17 years). The median disease course was 6 months (1–48 months). Seven patients (17.5%) had definite trauma history and 5 (12.5%) had infection. The toe or finger nail appearance was abnormal in 36 patients and normal in 4 patients. Twenty-seven patients (67.5%) had pain when wearing shoes and walking, and 25 (62.5%) had toenail tenderness. The lesions were located in the distal phalanxes of the toes in 37 patients (92.5%), with 14 patients affected on the left side and 23 on the right side. Twenty-two patients had lesions in the great toe, 6 in the second toe, 6 in the third toe, and 3 in the fourth toe. The lesions in the other 3 patients (7.5%) were located in the distal phalanxes of the fingers, with 2 patients affected in the second finger and 1 in the third finger. Regarding the relationship between lesion location and nail bed, 4 patients were type I, 21 were type II, and 15 were type III. All 40 patients received surgical treatment, with nail removal in 15. The median maximum lesion diameter was 1.0 cm (0.8–2 cm), median operation time was 25 min (20–45 min), median blood loss was 1 ml (1–2 ml), and median postoperative hospital stay was 2 days (1–4 days). All cases were histopathologically confirmed as subungual exostosis. The median follow-up time was 24 months (3–60 months), with normal appearance of the toe or finger nail. There were no complications in 38 patients (95.0%). Two patients (5.0%) relapsed at 3 months postoperatively and underwent a secondary operation, with no subsequent recurrence during 12 months of follow-up. Conclusion Subungual exostosis in children is a rare benign disease that often occurs in the toes. Selection of the appropriate incision and nail bed treatment based on the relationship between lesion location and nail bed is helpful for improving the treatment effect.

    Abstract: To observe the elongation of the axial tooth movement in the unopposed rodent molar model with type 1 diabetes mellitus and explore the pathological changes of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, and their correlation with tooth axial movement. Methods The 80 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the streptozotocin(STZ)-injected group (n = 50) and the control group (n = 30). Mice in the streptozotocin(STZ)-injected group were injected intraperitoneal with streptozotocin (STZ), and mice in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of equal doses of sodium citrate buffer. Thirty mice were randomly selected from the successful models as the T1DM group. The right maxillary molar teeth of mice were extracted under anesthesia, and allowed mandibular molars to super-erupt. Mice were sacrificed at 0, 3, 6,9, and 12 days. Tooth elongation and bone mineral density (BMD) were evaluated by micro-CT analysis(0,and 12 days mice). Conventional HE staining, Masson staining and TRAP staining were used to observe the changes in periodontal tissue(0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days mice). The expression differences of SPARC, FGF9, BMP4, NOGGIN, and type I collagen were analyzed by RT-qPCR. Results After 12 days of tooth extraction, our data showed significant super-eruption of mandibular mouse molars of the two groups. The amount of molar super-eruption in the T1DM group was 0.055mm( ± 0.014mm), and in the control group was 0.157( ± 0.017mm). The elongation of the T1DM mice was less than that of the control mice( P & lt;0.001). It was observed that the osteoclasts and BMD increased gradually in both groups over time. Compared with the control group, the collagen arrangement was more disordered, the number of osteoclasts was higher ( P & lt;0.05), and the increase of bone mineral density was lower(2.180 ± 0.007g/cm 3 vs. 2.204 ± 0.006g/cm 3 , P & lt;0.001) in the T1DM group. The relative expression of SPARC, FGF9, BMP4, and type I collagen in the two groups increased with the extension of tooth extraction time while NOGGIN decreased. The relative expression of all of SPARC, FGF9, BMP4, and type I collagen in the T1DM group were significantly lower, and the expression of NOGGIN was higher than that in the control group ( P & lt;0.05). Conclusion The axial tooth movement was inhibited in type 1 diabetic mice. The result may be associated with the changes of periodontal ligament osteoclastogenic effects and alveolar bone remodeling regulated by the extracellular matrix and osteogenesis-related factors.

    Abstract: To investigate the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted cannulated compression screw internal fixation in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in children. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of ten children with femoral neck fractures treated by robot-assisted internal fixation from January 2020 to June 2021. The clinical and radiological characteristics, operation duration, and fluoroscopy frequency of robot-assisted screws placement together with the complications and function were evaluated. At the 12-month follow-up, the hip joint function was evaluated using the Ratliff classification. Results Ten children, six boys and four girls, aged 4–14 years were included. There were eight type II and three type III femoral neck fractures using the Delbet classification. In the process of robot-assisted internal fixation, the median of fluoroscopy frequency was 22 times and the median of operation duration was 47 min. The median of screw parallelism was 1.33° and 0.66° on the anteroposterior and lateral x-ray films, and the median of screw distribution was 41.86% and 44.93% on the anteroposterior and lateral x-ray films, respectively. At the 12-month follow-up, there were two cases of femoral head necrosis, and fracture healing was achieved in all patients, of which eight fractures were excellent and three were good by the Ratliff function classification. Discussion The application of robot-assisted cannulated compression screw internal fixation could help us achieve more safe and accurate screw placement, as well as a good treatment effect for children’s femoral neck fractures. Level of Evidence Level IV. retrospective case series.

    Abstract: With the development of green chemistry and nano materials, new alternatives to traditional volatile solvents are one of many important hotspots in the field of nano materials. Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as excellent alternative solvents are being applied in the innovation of nano-sorbents, including nanoparticles, nanogels, and nanofluid. ILs and DESs are often used as carriers/modifiers/dispersers of nano-sorbents to enhance the adsorption capacity and selectivity in the extraction procedure. Various extraction technologies, such as solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, micro-solid phase extraction, hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction, and magnetic solid-phase extraction, have also been promoted by them to achieve rapid development. This paper focused on the latest development of nano-sorbents based on ILs and DESs. The problems and bottlenecks encountered were analyzed in order to provide meaningful and valuable references for the related research and thus promote further development and application of alternative solvents-assisted nano-sorbents.
