    Abstract: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) time in target range (TTR) indicates the mean value, exposure time, and variability in blood pressure over time. The prognostic value of SBP TTR for incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with hypertension is unclear. METHODS: We performed a post hoc analysis of SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial), a randomized controlled trial comparing intensive ( 〈 120 mm Hg) and standard ( 〈 140 mm Hg) SBP interventions in participants with hypertension. SBP target ranges for intensive and standard arms were defined as 110 to 130 and 120 to 140 mm Hg, respectively. TTR was calculated by linear interpolation method using SBP from months 0 to 3. We used Cox proportional regression models to assess the association of SBP TTR with incident AF. RESULTS: Among 7939 participants included in this analysis, 187 incident AF cases occurred during follow-up. After multivariable adjustment, a 10% increase in SBP TTR was independently associated with a 7% lower risk of incident AF (hazard ratio, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.88–0.97]; P =0.003). The restricted spline curve depicted a linear and inverse relationship between SBP TTR and incident AF. Sensitivity analyses generated consistent results when calculating TTR over a longer period or setting target range as 110 to 140 mm Hg for the whole population. CONCLUSIONS: Higher SBP TTR independently predicts a lower risk of incident AF. Efforts to attain SBP within 110 to 140 mm Hg over time may be an effective strategy to prevent AF.

    Abstract: The characteristics of H3.3 G34-mutant gliomas in adults have yet to be specifically described. Thirty adults with H3.3 G34-mutant diffuse gliomas were retrospectively reviewed for clinical and pathologic information. Molecular profiling using next-generation sequencing was performed in 29 of the 30 H3.3 G34-mutant patients with 1 patient lacking available tumor samples, as well as 82 IDH/H3 wild-type adult diffuse glioma patients. The age at diagnosis of H3.3 G34-mutant diffuse gliomas was significantly younger than IDH/H3 wild-type gliomas (24 vs. 57 y, P 〈 0.001). Overall, 19 of the 30 patients were diagnosed of glioblastoma with the primitive neuronal component, and 8 were glioblastoma. The molecular profiling analysis revealed higher frequencies of Olig-2 loss of expression, TP53 mutation, ATRX mutation, PDGFRA mutation, and MGMT promoter methylation ( P 〈 0.05) in H3.3 G34-mutant gliomas than IDH/H3 wild-type gliomas. No TERT promoter mutation and only 1 case of EGFR amplification were detected in the H3.3 G34-mutant cohort, the frequencies of which were significantly higher in the IDH/H3 wild-type cohort. A dismal prognosis was observed in H3.3 G34-mutant patients comparing to IDH/H3 wild-type cohort (overall survival: 14 vs. 22 mo; P =0.026). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the extent of resection and TP53 mutation were independently affecting prognosis. The distinct pathologic and molecular features of H3.3 G34-mutant diffuse gliomas in adult patients demonstrated the clinical importance of detecting H3.3 G34R/V mutations. The dismal prognosis of this rare high-grade glioma disease we reported here would further promote the investigation of dedicated therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract: Signaling pathways play significant roles in the occurrence, development, and treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC). The main treatment options are surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, arterial infusion chemotherapy in interventional therapy, and immunotherapy. Many studies have shown that signaling pathways perform a function in the occurrence and development of PC, for instance, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, nuclear factor-κB, Ras, interleukin (IL)-17B/IL-17RB, Wnt, and hepatocyte growth factor/c-MET, which play roles in the proliferation, metastasis, invasion, inhibition of apoptosis, promotion of angiogenesis, and drug resistance of PC. Interaction of signaling pathways has an impact on the biological behavior of PC; for example, activation of the neurotensin/NTSR1 pathway, which can activate mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear factor-κB, and other pathways related to PC stem cells, play an important role in PC, and an increase in their number is associated with the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K pathways. Chemotherapy is the main method for the treatment of PC, but drug resistance limits its use. In addition, abnormal activation of IL-17B/IL-17RB signaling pathway is associated with drug resistance. This article discusses the signaling pathways that play different roles in the occurrence and development of PC, as well as current research on signaling pathways in PC treatment.

    Abstract: FUN14 domain containing 1 (FUNDC1) is a highly conserved outer mitochondrial membrane protein. The aim of this study is to examine whether FUNDC1 modulates the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAMs), mitochondrial morphology, and function in cardiomyocytes and intact hearts. Methods: The impacts of FUNDC1 on MAMs formation and cardiac functions were studied in mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes, in mice with cardiomyocyte-specific Fundc1 gene knockout ( Fundc1 f/Y /Cre αMyHC+/− ), and in the cardiac tissues of the patients with heart failure. Results: In mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes and intact hearts, FUNDC1 was localized in MAMs by binding to ER-resided inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate type 2 receptor (IP 3 R2). Fundc1 ablation disrupted MAMs and reduced the levels of IP 3 R2 and Ca 2+ in both mitochondria and cytosol, whereas overexpression of Fundc1 increased the levels of IP 3 R2 and Ca 2+ in both mitochondria and cytosol. Consistently, Fundc1 ablation increased Ca 2+ levels in ER, whereas Fundc1 overexpression lowered ER Ca 2+ levels. Further, Fundc1 ablation in cardiomyocytes elongated mitochondria and compromised mitochondrial functions. Mechanistically, we found that Fundc1 ablation-induced reduction of intracellular Ca 2+ levels suppressed mitochondrial fission 1 protein ( Fis1 ) expression and mitochondrial fission by reducing the binding of the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in the Fis1 promoter. Fundc1 f/Y /Cre αMyHC+/− mice but not their littermate control mice ( Fundc1 wt/Y /Cre αMyHC+/− ) exhibited cardiac dysfunction. The ligation of the left ventricle artery of Fundc1 f/Y /Cre αMyHC+/− mice caused more severe cardiac dysfunction than those in sham-treated Fundc1 f/Y /Cre αMyHC+/− mice. Finally, we found that the FUNDC1/MAMs/CREB/Fis1 signaling axis was significantly suppressed in patients with heart failure. Conclusions: We conclude that FUNDC1 binds to IP 3 R2 to modulate ER Ca 2+ release into mitochondria and cytosol. Further, a disruption of the FUNDC1 and IP 3 R2 interaction lowers the levels of Ca 2+ in mitochondria and cytosol, both of which instigate aberrant mitochondrial fission, mitochondrial dysfunction, cardiac dysfunction, and heart failure.

    Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of parathyroid carcinoma and to validate the diagnostic value of 99m Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) single photon emission computed tomography/x-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for differentiating between parathyroid carcinoma and hyperparathyroidism. Four consecutive patients with suspected primary hyperparathyroidism were enrolled in this study and underwent 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT, ultrasonography, enhanced CT, and MRI. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium were measured. All primary and recurrent lesions showed high focal uptake on 99m Tc-MIBI image, whereas metastatic lymph nodes gave false negative results. The serum PTH was 165.14 ± 90.26 pmol/L, which declined rapidly after surgery. One patient with a persistently high PTH (147.5 pmol/L) after surgery presented with multiple lymphadenopathy in the neck. Higher expression of chromogranin A (CgA) further confirmed parathyroid carcinoma as a rare endocrine tumor. Parathyroid carcinoma is thus usually diagnosed incidentally based on nonspecific multiorgan symptoms of hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism. 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT may help to localize the parathyroid carcinoma, while MRI is valuable for detecting metastasis. Serum PTH and CgA serve as circulating biomarkers in parathyroid carcinoma, and raised levels of PTH and CgA together with locoregional lymphadenopathy may indicate parathyroid carcinoma. Further studies are needed.

    Abstract: At present, many studies have described acute pulmonary embolism (PE) as a frequent and prognostically relevant complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Thus we performed the present analysis of 50 studies to evaluate the risk factors and mortality of PE in COVID-19 patients. Method: Databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched to October, 2021. Odds ratio (OR), mean difference (MD) or standard MD was used to evaluate the outcomes. The primary outcomes were the difference of mortality between PE and non-PE COVID-19 patients as well as relevant risk factors of PE in COVID-19 patients. All statistical analyses were performed using the standard statistical procedures provided in Review Manager 5.2. Result: A total of 50 studies including 10053 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Our results indicated that COVID-19 patients with PE experienced significantly higher mortality than non-PE patients (21.9% vs. 10.7%), with a pooled OR of 2.21 (95% CI 1.30 – 3.76; P = .003). In addition, COVID-19 patients with PE also experienced more mechanical ventilation (MV) (OR 2.21; 95% CI 1.30 – 3.75; P = .003) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) (OR 3.58; 95% CI 2.47 – 5.20; P 〈 .0001) respectively. Univariate analysis (UVA) results indicated the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, time to deep venous thrombosis (DVT), nonintensive care unit (non-ICU) patients and no anticoagulation as risk factors of PE for COVID-19 patients. In addition, multivariate analysis also found that SOFA score, D-dimer, BMI 〉 30 kg/m 2 and history of PE were risk factors of PE for COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: The present analysis indicated that PE increased the mortality of COVID-19 patients. Mechanical ventilation, especially invasive mechanical ventilation, is correlated with an increased incidence of PE in patients with COVID-19. The incidence of PE for COVID-19 patients may be multifactorial and further researches focused on risk factors were needed in the future.
