    Abstract: Chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis (CIM) is a major dose-limiting side effect of chemotherapy, especially in regimens containing irinotecan (CPT-11). Several studies on the pathologic mechanisms of CIM focused on both the genomics and molecular pathways triggered by chemotherapy. However, systematic evaluation of metabolomic analysis in irinotecan-induced intestinal mucositis (IIM) has not been investigated. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze metabolite changes in main tissues of IIM mouse models. Male ICR mice were assigned to two groups: the model group ( n = 11) treated with CPT-11 (20 mg/kg daily; i.p.) and the control group ( n = 11) with solvent for 9 days. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to investigate the metabolic alterations in the serum, intestinal, colonic, hepatic, and splenic samples of mice between two groups by multivariate statistical analyses, including GC–MS data processing, pattern recognition analysis, and pathway analysis. Forty-six metabolites, including hydrocarbons, amino acids, lipids, benzenoids, hydroxy acids, and amines, had significant changes in levels in tissues and sera of IIM mouse models. The most important pathways related to the identified metabolites were the glycerolipid metabolism in the colon and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism in the liver. Our study firstly provided a comprehensive and systematic view of metabolic alterations of IIM using GC-MS analysis. The characterizations of metabolic changes could offer profound and theoretical insight into exploring new biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment of IIM.

    Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent and deadly type of liver cancer. While the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood, it is documented that lncRNAs may play key roles. Many HCC-associated lncRNAs have been linked to HBV and HCV infection, mediating gene expression, cell growth, development, and death. Studying the regulatory mechanisms and biological functions of HCC-related lncRNAs will assist our understanding of HCC pathogenesis as well as its diagnosis and management. Here, we address the potential of dysregulated lncRNAs in HCC as diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers, and we evaluate the oncogenic or tumor-suppressive properties of these lncRNAs.

    Abstract: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) have common pathophysiological features, such as the significant remodeling of pulmonary parenchyma and vascular wall. There is no effective specific drug in clinical treatment for these two diseases, resulting in a worse prognosis and higher mortality. This study aimed to screen the common key genes and immune characteristics of PF and PH by means of bioinformatics to find new common therapeutic targets. Expression profiles are downloaded from the Gene Expression Database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis is used to identify the co-expression modules related to PF and PH. We used the ClueGO software to enrich and analyze the common genes in PF and PH and obtained the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network. Then, the differential genes were screened out in another cohort of PF and PH, and the shared genes were crossed. Finally, RT-PCR verification and immune infiltration analysis were performed on the intersection genes. In the result, the positive correlation module with the highest correlation between PF and PH was determined, and it was found that lymphocyte activation is a common feature of the pathophysiology of PF and PH. Eight common characteristic genes ( ACTR2, COL5A2, COL6A3, CYSLTR1, IGF1, RSPO3, SCARNA17 and SEL1L ) were gained. Immune infiltration showed that compared with the control group, resting CD4 memory T cells were upregulated in PF and PH. Combining the results of crossing characteristic genes in ImmPort database and RT-PCR, the important gene IGF1 was obtained. Knocking down IGF1 could significantly reduce the proliferation and apoptosis resistance in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, pulmonary smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts induced by hypoxia, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), respectively. Our work identified the common biomarkers of PF and PH and provided a new candidate gene for the potential therapeutic targets of PF and PH in the future.

    Abstract: The highly heterogeneous pathogenesis of depression and limited response to current antidepressants call for more objective evidence for depression subtypes. Reactive and endogenous depression are two etiologically distinct subtypes associated with different treatment responses. This study aims to explore the potential biomarkers that differentiate reactive and endogenous depressions. Methods The clinical manifestations and biological indicators of 64 unmedicated mild-to-moderate depression patients (32 reactive depression patients and 32 endogenous depression patients) and 21 healthy subjects were observed. The 24-item Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAMD-24) was used to evaluate the severity of depression. Serum levels of depression-related biological indicators were measured by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The NLRP3 level of reactive depression was significantly lower than those of endogenous depression and healthy controls. There was a significant negative correlation between the BDNF level and the HAMD-24 total scores for patients with reactive depression. Conclusion Our findings suggested the serum NLRP3 and BDNF levels could be potential biomarkers for detecting and evaluating the severity of reactive depression.

    Abstract: The insect chemosensory system plays an important role in many aspects of insects’ behaviors necessary for their survival. Despite the complexity of this system, an increasing number of studies have begun to understand its structure and function in different insect species. Nonetheless, the chemosensory system in the orange spiny whitefly Aleurocanthus spiniferus , as one of the most destructive insect pests of citrus in tropical Asia, has not been investigated yet. In this study, the sensillum types, morphologies and distributions of the male and female antennae of A. spiniferus were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. In both sexes, six different sensilla types were observed: trichodea sensilla, chaetica sensilla, microtrichia sensilla, coeloconic sensilla, basiconic sensilla, and finger-like sensilla. Moreover, we identified a total of 48 chemosensory genes, including 5 odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), 12 chemosensory proteins (CSPs), 3 sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs), 6 odorant receptors (ORs), 8 gustatory receptors (GRs), and 14 ionotropic receptors (IRs) using transcriptome data analysis. Tissue-specific transcriptome analysis of these genes showed predominantly expression in the head (including antennae), whereas CSPs were broadly expressed in both head (including the antennae) and body tissue of adult A. spiniferus . In addition, the expression profiling of selected chemosensory genes at different developmental stages was examined by quantitative real time-PCR which was mapped to the transcriptome. We found that the majority of these genes were highly expressed in adults, while AspiORco , AspiGR1 , AspiGR2 , and AspiIR4 genes were only detected in the pupal stage. Together, this study provides a basis for future chemosensory and genomic studies in A. spiniferus and closely related species. Furthermore, this study not only provides insights for further research on the molecular mechanisms of A. spiniferus -plant interactions but also provides extensive potential targets for pest control.

    Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the status and trends of Chinese clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) during the time period 2010–2020 and explore their methodological characteristics. Then, based on the strengths and weaknesses in development, offer several recommendations for the quality improvement which will serve as a reference for the users and developers of CPG. Introduction: With the development of evidence-based medicine (EBM), the CPGs play an increasingly important role in healthcare decision-making both in China and worldwide. Inclusion criteria: The CPGs that have been used to help the health professionals in the healthcare decision-making were included. Methodology: The China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and WanFang databases were searched from 2010 to 2020 for the studies describing the general and methodological characteristics of Chinese CPGs. Comparisons of the methodological characteristics between the groups were conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. The M-K test was adopted to identify the monotonically increasing or decreasing trends of methodological characteristics over the timespan. Results: A total of 2,654 CPGs fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The quantity and quality of the guidelines developed in China have improved over the time span. From 2010 to 2020,the guidelines had differing characteristics and covered a wide range of subjects. In total, 2,318(87.34%) guidelines focused on Western Medicine. Eight (0.30%) had been developed for patient versions of guidelines, 10(0.38%) were tentative guidelines, and 16(0.60%) were rapid advice guidelines. Medical specialty societies (including their branches) (71.1%) were the main guideline makers. The most addressed diseases were neoplasms (14.43%). The target population is mainly adults (84.97%). The methodological quality of consensus-based (CB)-CPGs was obviously lower than evidence-based (EB)-CPGs. Except for the item, “recommendations were based on evidence of systematic reviews,” there were statistical differences in all other methodological items between the EB-CPGS and CB-CPGS ( P & lt; 0.01). Higher methodological quality has been observed in EB-CPGs. All the data relating to the methodological characteristics indicated that higher methodological quality was present in the guidelines using GRADE ( P & lt; 0.01). Conclusion: The quantity and quality of the guidelines developed in China have improved between 2010 and 2020. CB-CPGs have also paid attention to the methodology quality, but obviously, this is lower than that in the EB-CPGs.

    Abstract: To construct and validate prediction models for the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus hospitalized over the period between January 2010 and September 2018 were retrospectively collected. Eighteen baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were used as predictors to train five machine-learning models. The model that showed favorable predictive efficacy was evaluated at annual follow-ups. Multi-point data of the patients in the test set were utilized to further evaluate the model’s performance. We also assessed the relative prognostic importance of the selected risk factors for DR outcomes. Results Of 7943 collected patients, 1692 (21.30%) developed DR during follow-up. Among the five models, the XGBoost model achieved the highest predictive performance with an AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.803, 88.9%, 74.0%, and 81.1%, respectively. The XGBoost model’s AUCs in the different follow-up periods were 0.834 to 0.966. In addition to the classical risk factors of DR, serum uric acid (SUA), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and triglyceride (TG) were also identified to be important and strong predictors for the disease. Compared with the clinical diagnosis method of DR, the XGBoost model achieved an average of 2.895 years prior to the first diagnosis. Conclusion The proposed model achieved high performance in predicting the risk of DR among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at each time point. This study established the potential of the XGBoost model to facilitate clinicians in identifying high-risk patients and making type 2 diabetes management-related decisions.

    Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 infection has become an urgent public health concern worldwide, severely affecting our society and economy due to the long incubation time and high prevalence. People spare no effort on the rapid development of vaccine and treatment all over the world. Amongst the numerous ways of tackling this pandemic, some approaches using extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging. In this review, we summarize current prevalence and pathogenesis of COVID-19, involving the combination of SARS-CoV-2 and virus receptor ACE2, endothelial dysfunction and micro thrombosis, together with cytokine storm. We also discuss the ongoing EVs-based strategies for the treatment of COVID-19, including mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-EVs, drug-EVs, vaccine-EVs, platelet-EVs, and others. This manuscript provides the foundation for the development of targeted drugs and vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 infections.
