    Abstract: Early presentation is critical for receiving effective reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke, therefore, we undertook a national survey of awareness and responses to acute stroke symptoms in China. Methods— We undertook a cross-sectional community-based study of 187 723 adults (age ≥40 years) presenting to 69 administrative areas across China between January 2017 and May 2017 to determine the national stroke recognition rate and the correct action rate. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with stroke recognition and intention-to-avail emergency medical services. Results— Estimates of stroke recognition rate and correct action rate were 81.9% (153 675/187 723) and 60.9% (114 380/187 723), respectively, but these rates varied widely by sociodemographic status, region, and stroke risk. Approximately one-third of participants who recognized a stroke failed to call emergency medical service. Low likelihood of emergency medical service use was associated with younger age (40–59 years), being male, rural location, (regions of east, south, and northwest China), high body mass index (≥24), low education (primary school or below), low personal income ( 〈 US $731 per annum), living with immediate family, having multiple children (≥2), having a friend with stroke, exposure to less avenues to learn about stroke, nonsmoking, regular exercise, unknown family history, and no history of cardiovascular disease. Intention of calling emergency medical service was strongly related to awareness of stroke (odds ratio 2.05; 95% CI, 2.00–2.10; P 〈 0.001). Conclusions— Substantial discrepancies exist between stroke recognition and correct action and not all stroke patients know the appropriate responses. Further, national stroke educational programs with specific plans targeting different groups are needed, which do not solely focus on stroke recognition, but also on the appropriate responses at the time of a stroke.

    Abstract: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in the regulation of many important cellular processes. However, the mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulate viral infection and host immune responses are not well understood. We sought to explore lncRNA regulation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and interferon response. We performed RNA sequencing (RNAseq) in Huh7.5.1 cells with or without interferon alpha (IFNα) treatment. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 guide RNA (gRNA) was used to knock out selected genes. The promoter clones were constructed, and the activity of related interferon‐stimulated genes (ISGs) were detected by the secrete‐pair dual luminescence assay. We constructed the full‐length and four deletion mutants of an interferon‐induced lncRNA RP11‐288L9.4 (lncRNA‐IFI6) based on predicted secondary structure. Selected gene mRNAs and their proteins, together with HCV infection, in Huh7.5.1 cells and primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) were monitored by quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR) and western blot. We obtained 7,901 lncRNAs from RNAseq. A total of 1,062 host‐encoded lncRNAs were significantly differentially regulated by IFNα treatment. We found that lncRNA‐IFI6 gRNA significantly inhibited HCV infection compared with negative gRNA control. The expression of the antiviral ISG IFI6 was significantly increased following lncRNA‐IFI6 gRNA editing compared with negative gRNA control in Japanese fulminant hepatitis 1 (JFH1)–infected Huh7.5.1 cells and PHHs. We observed that lncRNA‐IFI6 regulation of HCV was independent of Janus kinase‐signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK‐STAT) signaling. lncRNA‐IFI6 negatively regulated IFI6 promoter function through histone modification. Overexpression of the truncated spatial domain or full‐length lncRNA‐IFI6 inhibited IFI6 expression and increased HCV replication. Conclusion: A lncRNA, lncRNA‐IFI6, regulates antiviral innate immunity in the JFH1 HCV infection model. lncRNA‐IFI6 regulates HCV infection independently of the JAK‐STAT pathway. lncRNA‐IFI6 exerts its regulatory function via promoter activation and histone modification of IFI6 through its spatial domain.

    Abstract: Medicinal plants are renowned for their abundant production of secondary metabolites, which exhibit notable pharmacological activities and great potential for drug development. The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites is highly intricate and influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, resulting in substantial species diversity and content variation. Consequently, precise regulation of secondary metabolite synthesis is of utmost importance. In recent years, genome sequencing has emerged as a valuable tool for investigating the synthesis and regulation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants, facilitated by the widespread use of high-throughput sequencing technologies. This review highlights the latest advancements in genome sequencing within this field and presents several strategies for studying secondary metabolites. Specifically, the article elucidates how genome sequencing can unravel the pathways for secondary-metabolite synthesis in medicinal plants, offering insights into the functions and regulatory mechanisms of participating enzymes. Comparative analyses of plant genomes allow identification of shared pathways of metabolite synthesis among species, thereby providing novel avenues for obtaining cost-effective biosynthetic intermediates. By examining individual genomic variations, genes or gene clusters associated with the synthesis of specific compounds can be discovered, indicating potential targets and directions for drug development and the exploration of alternative compound sources. Moreover, the advent of gene-editing technology has enabled the precise modifications of medicinal plant genomes. Optimization of specific secondary metabolite synthesis pathways becomes thus feasible, enabling the precise editing of target genes to regulate secondary metabolite production within cells. These findings serve as valuable references and lessons for future drug development endeavors, conservation of rare resources, and the exploration of new resources.

    Abstract: The disease progression of gouty arthritis (GA) is relatively clear, with the 4 stages of hyperuricemia (HUA), acute gouty arthritis (AGA), gouty arthritis during the intermittent period (GIP), and chronic gouty arthritis (CGA). This paper attempts to construct a clinical diagnostic model based on blood routine test data, in order to avoid the need for bursa fluid examination and other tedious steps, and at the same time to predict the development direction of GA. Serum samples from 579 subjects were collected within 3 years in this study and were divided into a training set (n = 379) and validation set (n = 200). After a series of multivariate statistical analyses, the serum biochemical profile was obtained, which could effectively distinguish different stages of GA. A clinical diagnosis model based on the biochemical index of the training set was established to maximize the probability of the stage as a diagnosis, and the serum biochemical data from 200 patients were used for validation. The total area under the curve (AUC) of the clinical diagnostic model was 0.9534, and the AUCs of the 5 models were 0.9814 (Control), 0.9288 (HUA), 0.9752 (AGA), 0.9056 (GIP), and 0.9759 (CGA). The kappa coefficient of the clinical diagnostic model was 0.80. This clinical diagnostic model could be applied clinically and in research to improve the accuracy of the identification of the different stages of GA. Meanwhile, the serum biochemical profile revealed by this study could be used to assist the clinical diagnosis and prediction of GA.

    In: Hypertension, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 79, No. Suppl_1 ( 2022-09)
    Abstract: Background: Aortic remodeling enhances arterial pulsatility in the microcirculation and we have shown that excessive endothelial stretch increases release of Growth Arrest Specific 6 (GAS6), which activates Axl on monocytes causing immune activation and inflammation. Hypothesis: GAS6/Axl blockade reduces renal and vascular inflammation and lessens renal dysfunction caused by aortic remodeling. Methods and Results: Three month old male C57Bl/6 mice received osmotic minipumps containing vehicle or ang II for 2 weeks and the pumps removed. Aortas demonstrated increased collagen and an 80% loss of Windkessel function that persisted for 6 months following ang II. Renal function studies showed reduced ability to excrete a volume load, a progressive increase in albuminuria and tubular damage as estimated by Periodic Acid Schiff staining. Treatment with the Axl inhibitor R428 beginning 2 months after ang II had minimal effect on aortic remodeling 2 months later, but reduced aortic and renal infiltration of T cells, gamma/delta T cells and macrophages as measured by flow cytometry (Figure). R428 also improved renal excretory capacity, decreased urinary NGAL, reduced albuminuria, and attenuated renal tubular damage. Interestingly, macrophage/T cell complexes were present in aortas of mice previously exposed to hypertension, and were reduced by R428. Conclusion: Brief episodes of hypertension induce chronic aortic remodeling which increases Axl signaling and transformation of monocytes to inflammatory antigen presenting cells that activate T cells. Axl blockade might serve as a therapeutic option to improve end-organ damage after an episode of hypertension.

    Abstract: To assess the role of ultrasonography for assessing middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Middle cerebral arteries of 32 RA patients and 32 healthy volunteers were examined by ultrasonography. Peak systolic blood flow velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity, and resistance index (RI) of MCA were measured using Doppler ultrasound. Results were expressed as mean ± SD. No significant difference in peak systolic velocity was obtained between RA patients (52.44 ± 19.56 cm/s) and healthy volunteers (51.59 ± 16.83 cm/s, P 〉 0.05). End-diastolic velocity in RA patients was significantly lower (15.41 ± 5.44 cm/s vs 24.54 ± 8.45 cm/s, P 〈 0.01) and RI markedly higher (0.66 ± 0.10 vs 0.60 ± 0.06, P 〈 0.05) compared with control values. Resistance index in 32 RA patients increased with disease duration (2 months to 31 years), from a median value of 0.350 to 0.830; there was a strong correlation between RI and disease duration ( r = 0.965, P 〈 0.05). A point of 0.64 in receiver operating characteristic curve was chosen as the cutoff point, and the area under the curve was 0.918. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 90.6%, 87.5%,87.9%, 90.3%, and 89.1%, respectively. Color Doppler ultrasound in RA patients with hemodynamic changes of MCAs could be a relatively sensitive tool for the detection of cerebral atherosclerotic lesions. This could enable timely intervention for early clinical reference.
