    Abstract: It is unclear whether patients with different stroke/transient ischemic attack etiologies benefit differently from gene-directed dual antiplatelet therapy. This study explored the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin in transient ischemic attack or minor stroke with different causes in the CHANCE-2 trial (Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events-II). METHODS: This was a prespecified analysis of the CHANCE-2 trial, which enrolled 6412 patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack who carried CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles. Patients with centralized evaluation of TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) classification of large-artery atherosclerosis, small-vessel occlusion, and stroke of undetermined cause were included. The primary efficacy outcome was new stroke, and the primary safety outcome was severe or moderate bleeding, both within 90 days. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the interaction of TOAST classification with the effects of dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin. RESULTS: A total of 6336 patients were included in this study. In patients administered ticagrelor-aspirin and clopidogrel-aspirin, respectively, stroke recurred in 85 (9.8%) and 88 (10.7%) patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (hazard ratio, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.63–1.18]; P =0.34); 32 (3.6%) and 61 (7.0%) patients with small-vessel occlusion (hazard ratio, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.33–0.79]; P =0.002); and 68 (4.8%) and 87 (5.9%) patients with stroke of undetermined cause (hazard ratio, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.58–1.10]; P =0.17), with P =0.08 for the treatment×cause subtype interaction effect. There were no significant differences in severe or moderate bleeding events in patients with different cause and different treatment. CONCLUSIONS: In this prespecified analysis of the CHANCE-2 trial, the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin in preventing new stroke were consistent in patients with different causes. The influence of stroke cause on benefit of gene-guided antiplatelet therapy should be explored by further trials. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT04078737.

    Abstract: Polarity defects are frequently involved in liver diseases, such as chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It was reported that vacuolar protein sorting 33B (Vps33b) plays critical roles in the maintenance of hepatocyte polarity; however, the functional roles and mechanisms of Vps33b in HCC occurrence and progression remain unknown. First of all, we showed that Vps33b is down‐regulated in human and mouse liver cancer samples, and the low expression levels of Vps33b correlate with the poor prognosis of many HCC patients. Liver‐specific Vps33b deficiency induces liver damage, progressive hepatitis, fibrosis, and HCC in male mice, indicating that Vps33b is a crucial contributory factor to hepatocarcinogenesis. Vps33b deficiency–caused liver damage was primarily due to the disorders of structural and functional hepatocyte polarity, which were reflected by the decreased protein levels of E‐cadherin because of inaccurate location to lysosomes and polarity defects at both apical and lateral plasma membrane proteins. The results of a mechanism study revealed that Vps33b interacts with VPS33B‐interacting protein, which is involved in polarity and apical protein restriction; vesicle‐trafficking protein Sec22b; and Flotillin‐1 in hepatocytes and is in charge of the normal distribution of polarity‐determined proteins. Expression levels of Vps33b negatively correlated with the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration in livers from diethylnitrosamine‐induced or transgenic HCC mouse models, and the inflammatory stimuli suppressed the expression of Vps33b in vitro . Conclusion: Down‐regulation of Vps33b expression is a critical step for inflammation‐driven HCC, and Vps33b serves as an important tumor suppressor in hepatocarcinogenesis.

    Abstract: Current definitions of AKI do not take into account serum creatinine’s high variability in children. Methods We analyzed data from 156,075 hospitalized children with at least two creatinine tests within 30 days. We estimated reference change value (RCV) of creatinine on the basis of age and initial creatinine level in children without kidney disease or known AKI risk, and we used these data to develop a model for detecting pediatric AKI on the basis of RCV of creatinine. We defined pediatric AKI according to pediatric reference change value optimized for AKI in children (pROCK) as creatinine increase beyond RCV of creatinine, which was estimated as the greater of 20 μ mol/L or 30% of the initial creatinine level. Results Of 102,817 children with at least two serum creatinine tests within 7 days, 5432 (5.3%) had AKI as defined by pROCK compared with 15,647 (15.2%) and 10,446 (10.2%) as defined by pediatric RIFLE (pRIFLE) and Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), respectively. Children with pROCK-defined AKI had significantly increased risk of death (hazard ratio, 3.56; 95% confidence interval, 3.15 to 4.04) compared with those without AKI. About 66% of patients with pRIFLE-defined AKI and 51% of patients with KDIGO-defined AKI, mostly children with initial creatinine level of 〈 30 μ mol/L, were reclassified as non-AKI by pROCK, and mortality risk in these children was comparable with risk in those without AKI by all definitions. Conclusions pROCK criterion improves detection of “true” AKI in children compared with earlier definitions that may lead to pediatric AKI overdiagnosis.

    Abstract: High-quality epidemiologic data on AKI in children are particularly lacking in developing countries. This study aimed to assess the epidemiology and clinical correlates of AKI among hospitalized children in China. Design, setting, participants, & measurements We performed a multicenter study, in a cohort of hospitalized children aged 1 month to 18 years, from 25 general and children’s hospitals in China during 2013–2015. We obtained patient-level data from the electronic hospitalization information system and laboratory databases of all children who had at least two serum creatinine tests within any 7-day window during their first 30 days of hospitalization. We identified AKI events according to the creatinine criteria of Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes. The in-hospital outcomes of AKI, including mortality, kidney recovery, and length of stay, were assessed. We estimated the corresponding hazard ratios using a Cox proportional hazard model, with adjustment for age, sex, comorbidities, and clinical procedures. Results A total of 19,908 (20%) patients with AKI were identified among 101,836 pediatric inpatients, of which 7220 (7%) were community acquired and 12,688 (13%) were hospital acquired. Up to 96% of these AKI events were not diagnosed on the discharge records. The cumulative incidence of AKI in infants (28%) was twice that in adolescents (12%). The profiles of risk factors differed between community-acquired and hospital-acquired AKI and varied with age. Diarrhea and sepsis were the top risk factors for community-acquired AKI, each contributing 6% of the risk. Congenital heart disease/cardiac surgery was the major risk factor for hospital-acquired AKI, contributing to 19% of cases. Exposure to nephrotoxic drugs, mostly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and proton pump inhibitors, was common in hospitalized children and was associated with a higher risk of AKI. Death occurred in 842 out of 19,908 patients (4%) with AKI versus 450 out of 81,478 children (0.5%) without AKI. The risk of in-hospital death was higher among children with severe AKI, shock, and respiratory failure. Pediatric AKI was associated with longer hospital stay and higher daily cost, even after adjustment for covariates. Conclusions Pediatric AKI is common and is substantially underdiagnosed in China.

    Abstract: Retrospective study. Objective. To explore a relation between somatosensory- and motor-evoked potential (SEPs, MEPs) and corresponding thoracic cord function for thoracic spinal decompression surgery (TSDS) in patients with neurological deficit. Summary of Background Data. Although SEPs and MEPs monitoring has been developed as an essential technique in spinal surgery. There are limited data on the reliability of using SEPs and MEPs for TSDS and its prognosis. Methods. One hundred twenty patients underwent TSDS in our hospital, 91 patients completed the trial. All the patients were divided into three subgroups according to the changes of MEPs and SEPs: neither SEPs nor MEP deteriorated -. Simply MEP deteriorated and both SEPs and MEP deteriorated -. Bispectral (BIS) was used to monitor the depth of sedation, which ranged from 40 to 60 by varying the infusion speed of anesthetics. The pre- and postoperative spinal function was assessed by muscle strength and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score at three time points:1) before surgery; 2) immediately after general anesthesia recovery; 3) after 3-month follow-up. Results. Sixty-nine cases showed neither SEPs nor MEP deteriorated -, 10 cases showed only MEP deteriorated, and 12 cases showed both SEPs and MEP deteriorated -. The patients in the group where neither SEPs nor MEP deteriorated had the best recovery of the extremity muscle strength, the shortest recovery time (8.10 ± 1.60, P   〈  0.05), and toe movement time (8.50 ± 1.60, P   〈  0.05). There is a strong correlation between SEPs variability ratio at T4 time point and JOA recovery ratio (JOA RR) in the 3-month follow-up. Conclusion. Combined SEPs and MEPs monitoring are important for TSDS in patients with neurological deficit and it is helpful for evaluating postoperative prognosis. It is more accurate to record SEPs at T4 time point to predict the patients’ prognosis. Level of Evidence: 3

    Abstract: Clinically, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is observed to be associated with nephropathy. However, previous population-based studies failed to show an association between HBV infection and CKD. Therefore, this cross-sectional study was designed to further explore this association. Design, setting, participants, & measurements A representative sample of 6854 Chinese adults aged 30–75 years was tested for levels of serum hepatitis B surface antigen, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, and potential CKD risk factors. Results Neither HBV infection nor elevated ALT (ALT+; ≥ sex-specific 90th percentile of ALT levels of noninfected persons) was significantly associated with reduced estimated GFR (eGFR 〈 60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ). Compared with noninfected persons, HBV-infected persons with ALT+, but not those with ALT− ( P =0.26), were more likely to have reduced eGFR (odds ratio, 4.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.18–14.0; P =0.03). Further analysis with a general linear model revealed a significant difference in eGFR (mean ± SEM) between HBV-infected and noninfected persons (87.8±0.8 versus 90.2±0.4 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ; P =0.002). This difference was mainly derived from that between HBV-infected persons with ALT+ and noninfected persons, with an average difference in eGFR of −4.5 (95% confidence interval, −0.9 to −8.1; P =0.01). HBV infection and ALT+, alone or in combination, were not significantly associated with albuminuria or CKD. Conclusions HBV infection with elevated ALT, rather than HBV infection alone, was associated with reduced renal function.

    Abstract: Small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression. In contrast with well-studied microRNAs, transfer RNA-derived RNA fragments (tRFs) are a new class of sncRNAs that has not been studied in hypertension. This study aims to characterize renal tRFs and identify dysregulation and potential role of renal tRFs in hypertension. We analyzed sncRNA-sequencing and mRNA-sequencing data from the kidneys of Dahl salt-sensitive rats and sncRNA-sequencing data from kidney biopsy specimens from hypertensive nephrosclerosis patients. Over 300 tRFs were identified in the rat renal outer medulla, several of which were differentially expressed between rats with different levels of salt sensitivity or between rats on low- and high-salt diets. The number and abundance of these tRFs were comparable with those of well-known microRNAs. Multiple tRFs were potentially involved in the regulation of immune function, cell cycle, ion transport, and metabolic pathways based on an integrative analysis of sncRNA-sequencing and mRNA-sequencing data from the same set of rats. As a proof of concept, we experimentally validated the gene regulatory effect of a 3′-tRF (3′-tRF-ProTGG-19) that was dysregulated in both salt-induced hypertension in rats ( P =0.002) and hypertensive nephrosclerosis in humans ( P =1.7×10 −05 ). To our knowledge, our study represents the first characterization of tRFs in hypertension. These findings demonstrate the abundant expression of tRFs in human and rat kidneys and pave the way for studies to investigate novel roles of renal tRFs in the development of hypertension and renal injury.

    Abstract: Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common cause of dementia. The treatment of VaD still remains a challenge so far. Traditional Chinese Herbal medicine is a promising therapy due to their multiple components and targets. Shenmayizhi decoction (SMYZD), a Chinese Herbal prescription, has been reported its effective in alleviating cognitive dysfunction in clinical practice. However, strong clinical research of SMYZD in the treatment of VaD was lack. Therefore, we design this study to evaluate the adjuvant role of SMYZD in the treatment of VaD. Methods: This is a multicenter, randomized, blind, controlled trial. A total of 196 eligible patients will be assigned to receive Ginkgo biloba extracts (GBEs) plus SMYZD granule or GBEs plus SMYZD mimetic granule in a 1:1 ratio. The duration of the trial will be 12 weeks, and a follow-up will be performed at the 24th week. The primary outcomes are the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and the Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog). The secondary outcomes include the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scale, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), concentrations of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and homocysteine (HCY) in serum. Researchers will record any adverse events throughout the trial. Discussion: This study will provide evidences to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SMYZD in combination with GBEs in treatment of VaD, as well as the adjuvant role of SMYZD in combination. Trial is registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR1800017359.

    Abstract: The molecular mechanism of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for schizophrenia remains unclear. The aim of this study was to uncover the underlying biological mechanisms of ECT in the treatment of schizophrenia using a transcriptional dataset. Methods The peripheral blood mRNA sequencing data of eight patients (before and after ECT) and eight healthy controls were analyzed by integrated co-expression network analysis and the differentially expressed genes were analyzed by cluster analysis. Gene set overlap analysis was performed using the hypergeometric distribution of phypfunction in R. Associations of these gene sets with psychiatric disorders were explored. Tissue-specific enrichment analysis, gene ontology enrichment analysis, and protein–protein interaction enrichment analysis were used for gene set organization localization and pathway analysis. Results We found the genes of the green-yellow module were significantly associated with the effect of ECT treatment and the common gene variants of schizophrenia ( P = 0.0061; family-wise error correction). The genes of the green-yellow module are mainly enriched in brain tissue and mainly involved in the pathways of neurotrophin, mitogen-activated protein kinase and long-term potentiation. Conclusion Genes associated with the efficacy of ECT were predominantly enriched in neurotrophin, mitogen-activated protein kinase and long-term potentiation signaling pathways.
