    Abstract: Although the original purpose of the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) classification criteria was to distinguish SLE from other mimic diseases, and to facilitate sample selection in scientific research, they have become widely used as diagnostic criteria in clinical situations. It is not known yet if regarding classification criteria as diagnostic criteria, what problems might be encountered? This is the first study comparing the three sets of classification criteria for SLE, the 1997 American College of Rheumatology (ACR’97), 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC’12) and 2019 European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR’19), for their ability to distinguish patients with SLE from patients with pure mucocutaneous manifestations (isolated cutaneous lupus erythematosus without internal disease, i-CLE) in the lupus disease spectrum. 1,865 patients with SLE and 232 patients with i-CLE were recruited from a multicenter study. We found that, due to low specificity, none of the three criteria are adept at distinguishing patients with SLE from patients with i-CLE. SLICC’12 performed best among the original three criteria, but if a positive ANA was removed as an entry criterion, EULAR/ACR’19 would performed better. A review of previous studies that compared the three sets of criteria was presented in this work.

    Abstract: Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer affecting humans. However, appropriate biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis have not yet been established. Here, we evaluated the gene expression profiles of patients with NSCLC to identify novel biomarkers. Methods: Three datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and differentially expressed genes were analyzed. Venn diagram software was applied to screen differentially expressed genes, and gene ontology functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed. Cytoscape was used to analyze protein-protein interactions (PPI) and Kaplan–Meier Plotter was used to evaluate the survival rates. Oncomine database, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), and The Human Protein Atlas (THPA) were used to analyze protein expression. Quantitative real-time polymerase (qPCR) chain reaction was used to verify gene expression. Results: We identified 595 differentially expressed genes shared by the three datasets. The PPI network of these differentially expressed genes had 202 nodes and 743 edges. Survival analysis identified 10 hub genes with the highest connectivity, 9 of which ( CDC20, CCNB2, BUB1, CCNB1, CCNA2, KIF11, TOP2A, NDC80, and ASPM) were related to poor overall survival in patients with NSCLC. In cell experiments, CCNB1, CCNB2, CCNA2, and TOP2A expression levels were upregulated, and among different types of NSCLC, these four genes showed highest expression in large cell lung cancer. The highest prognostic value was detected for patients who had successfully undergone surgery and for those who had not received chemotherapy. Notably, CCNB1 and CCNA2 showed good prognostic value for patients who had not received radiotherapy. Conclusion: CCNB1, CCNB2, CCNA2, and TOP2A expression levels were upregulated in patients with NSCLC. These genes may be meaningful diagnostic biomarkers and could facilitate the development of targeted therapies.

    Abstract: Pogostemonis Herba, known as “Guang-Huo-Xiang” in Chinese, has been widely used in the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction. Pogostone is one of the major constituents of Pogostemonis Herba. The aim was to scientifically evaluate the possible gastroprotective effect and the underlying mechanisms of pogostone against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in rats. Rats were orally treated with vehicle, lansoprazole (30 mg/kg) or pogostone (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) and subsequently exposed to acute gastric lesions induced by indomethacin. Gross evaluation, histological observation, gastric mucosal superoxide dismutase activity, glutathione content, catalase activity, malonaldehyde level and prostaglandin E2 production were performed. Immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2, as well as terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay, immunohistochemistry for heat-shock protein 70, B-cell lymphoma-2 and Bax were conducted. Results indicated that rats pretreated with pogostone showed remarkable protection from the gastric mucosa damage compared to vehicle-treated rats based on the ulcer index and inhibition percentage. Histologically, oral administration of pogostone resulted in observable improvement of gastric injury, characterized by reduction of necrotic lesion, flattening of gastric mucosa and alleviation of submucosal edema with hemorrhage. Pogostone pretreatment significantly raised the depressed activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione and catalase, while reduced the elevated malonaldehyde level compared with indomethacin-induced group. Pogostone-pretreated group induced a significant increase in gastric mucosal prostaglandin E2 level and obvious up-regulation of protein levels and mRNA expressions of cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2. Furthermore, antiapoptotic effect of pogostone was verified by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay, and the apoptotic process triggered by pogostone involved the up-expression of heat-shock protein70 and B-cell lymphoma-2 protein, and suppression of Bax protein expressions in the ulcerated tissues. It is speculated that the gastroprotective effect of pogostone against indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration might be associated with its stimulation of cyclooxygenase-mediated prostaglandin E2, antioxidant and antiapoptotic effect.

    In: European Journal of Mass Spectrometry, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: This paper presents a newly developed high-performance mobile single-photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (M-SPI-TOFMS) system for on-line analysis and stereoscopic monitoring of complex gas mixtures. The system is designed for stereoscopic imaging to map the distribution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and trace their emission sources in urban areas and industrial parks. It mainly consists of a SPI-TOFMS instrument, a customized commercial vehicle, a meteorological five-parameter monitor with GPS, a high-power generator, and an uninterruptible power supply. The SPI technique, using a 118 nm VUV lamp, can ionize compounds with an ionization potential below 10.78 eV. Mass spectra obtained using this technique show the profiles of various VOCs and some inorganic compounds. The VOCs composition information and mobile location data are simultaneously sent to the GIS software. In GIS software, this data is used for real-time stereoscopic imaging of VOC distribution and precise tracking of VOC movement. The system can achieve a spatial data resolution of 0.69 mm at 25 km/h due to the microsecond detection speed of the M-SPI-TOFMS instrument. The laboratory test provides a rapid overview characterization of benzene, toluene, and xylene. The M-SPI-TOFMS has limits of detection and mass resolution of 33.7 pptv and 1060, respectively. Several field applications were carried out using M-SPI-TOFMS at various locations to identify VOC sources near different factories. The M-SPI-TOFMS system has a navigation monitoring speed of 25 km/h with a time resolution of 1 s. The widespread use of this system will provide accurate data to support environmental management departments in formulating VOCs pollution control policies and improving control efficiency.

    Abstract: To analyse the specific exercise effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with or without biofeedback or electrical stimulation on urinary incontinence rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy. Data sources We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science and Scopus databases for systematic reviews and meta-analyses on PFMT for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy from inception to 3 October 2022. Review methods Two authors independently extracted key data from the included studies. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the A Measure Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews-2 checklist. Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation was used to evaluate the quality of the outcomes. Results A total of 18 studies with 29,925 patients were included, all of which were of critically low methodological quality. Biofeedback therapy seemed to show additional benefits compared to PFMT alone; however, the adjunctive role of electrical stimulation remained more controversial due to the lack of strong evidence. Preoperative PFMT sometimes, but not always, showed the potential to improve urinary incontinence. PFMT with the guidance of a therapist could bring some benefits to the patient and was more acceptable to the patient, but consumed some medical resources. Conclusions PFMT has a good effect on improving post-radical prostatectomy incontinence in men, and biofeedback can have an additional beneficial effect on patients, especially in the short-term and medium-term. However, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that electrical stimulation is beneficial for patients with urinary incontinence.

    Abstract: It would be of great clinical value to find an indicator that can accurately evaluate the early-stage renal injury in primary hypertension. Previous findings have shown renalase not only plays an important role in hypertension but also closely correlates with kidney function. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether urinary renalase could be used as a predictive index of early-stage renal damage in patients with primary hypertension. Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) was used to divide subjects with primary hypertension into two groups: a no renal damage (NRD) group (UACR 〈 30 mg/g) and an early-stage renal damage (RD) group (UACR 〉 30 mg/g). Subjects with normal examination results were randomly included in a healthy control (HC) group. Urinary renalase was determined through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Urinary renalase continued to reduce among the HC (n = 81), NRD (n = 84) and RD group (n = 80), while systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased. Urinary renalase was negatively correlated with SBP in all the groups. Among the subjects with stage 1 primary hypertension, urinary renalase in the RD group was lower than the NRD group, while the UACR was higher, and urinary renalase was negatively correlated with the UACR. A multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that there was a linear regression relationship between the increase of the UACR and urinary renalase, heart rate (HR), SBP and serum creatinine. In addition, the standardized partial regression coefficient of urinary renalase was the highest. The performance of urinary renalase as a marker for the diagnosis of early-stage renal damage in patients with primary hypertension was 0.968 with a cut off value of 2.01 µg/ml. Taken together, urinary renalase was further decreased in patients with early-stage renal damage and primary hypertension, and consequently, it could be used as a predictive index. Impact statement In patients with early-stage kidney damage of primary hypertension, there are no obvious structural or functional changes, which leads to a high level of diagnostic omissions. Therefore, it would be of great clinical value to find an indicator that can accurately evaluate the early-stage renal injury in primary hypertension. Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) is a classic indicator used in early-stage renal damage, but it is affected by many factors. Renalase, a protein discovered by Xu in 2005, not only plays an important role in hypertension but also closely correlates with kidney function. In our study, we found that urinary renalase was further decreased in patients with early-stage renal damage in primary hypertension, and it could be used as a predictive index. This finding could help to diagnose the early-stage renal damage in primary hypertension much earlier and improve the prognosis of these patients.

    Abstract: Antiviral drug-resistant HBV mutants under a variety of treatment protocols are complex and only partly understood. Here, a population-based cross-sectional study was performed to analyse the profile of resistance mutations in distinct evolutionary pathways refractory to different nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs). Methods Serum samples of 199 chronic hepatitis B patients undergoing NA treatment from five hospitals in four northern cities of China were obtained between January 2007 and July 2009. The genotypic resistance of HBV in these samples was characterized. The full-length HBV reverse transcriptase region was amplified, sequenced and analysed with particular focus on the following NA-resistant changes: rtL80, rtI169, rtV173, rtL180, rtA181, rtT184, rtA194, rtS202, rtM204, rtN236 and rtM250. Results Among 199 HBV isolates, 30 (15.08%) and 169 (84.92%) were genotypes B and C, respectively, and 65 (32.66%) harboured NA-resistant mutations. The prevalence of mutations at rtM204 was 34.33% in 134 patients who had received or who had been exposed to lamivudine-based therapy. Five cases of rtN236 mutations were detected exclusively among 75 patients receiving adefovir-dipivoxil-based therapies. A total of 19 cases of multidrug resistance rtA181 mutations were observed in those with lamivudine-, adefovir-dipivoxil- or telbivudine-based treatment (186 cases), but not in those undergoing entecavir treatment (13 cases). Mutations were not found at rtI169, rtT184, rtA194 or rtS202. rtM204 mutations (27 rtM204I, 15 rtM204V and 5 rtM204I/V cases) were detected at the highest frequency among 65 mutants (72.30% [47/65]) and found to display 16 combination mutation patterns, in which rtM204I and rtM204V were significantly associated with rtL80I/V and rtL180M, respectively ( P 〈 0.01). Conclusions One-third of the studied population harboured NA-resistant HBV with complicated mutation patterns. Monitoring HBV genotypic resistance mutation markers and patterns is therefore shown to be beneficial for optimizing antiviral therapies and for avoiding clinical deterioration.

    Abstract: Ascorbic acid (AA), or vitamin C, is an important reactive biological molecule in vivo, and an abnormal level of AA is associated with many diseases. Therefore, the rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of AA levels is of significance in cases of medical assay and diagnosis. Compared with other nanoparticles, lanthanide coordination polymer nanoparticles (Ln-CPs) have been demonstrated as the excellent biomolecule sensing platforms due to their unique optical properties and intrinsic porosities. In this work, the cerium coordination polymer nanoparticles ATP-Ce-Tris were synthesized in a simple and quick way. The synthesized ATP-Ce-Tris nanoparticle shows the characteristic peak of Ce 3+ located at 365 nm, which is corresponding to the 4f→5d transition of Ce 3+ . In the presence of Fe 3+ , the fluorescence of ATP-Ce-Tris quenched, and the following added ascorbic acid (AA) makes it restoring effectively. Based on this, we constructed a fluorescence probe with excellent sensitivity for AA sensing in a wide linear relationship from 0.05 to 500 μM. The detection limit was as low as 18 nM (signal-to-noise ratio of three), which is one or two orders of magnitude lower than those of reported sensors. The proposed sensing systems also exhibits excellent sensitivity for AA detection in human serum sample, exploiting a valuable platform for AA analysis in clinic diagnostic and drug screening.

    Abstract: Ferroptosis is a novel type of regulated cell death and targeting ferroptosis may be a potential treatment strategy for lung cancer. Ziyuglycoside II (ZYG II) has a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of lung cancer cells. However, the selective anti-tumor effect of the ZYG II against lung cancer has not been systemically studied. Objectives We combined ferrostatin-1 and erastin to explore the potential therapeutic mechanism of the ZYG II for lung adenocarcinoma. Materials and Methods A549 and H1299 cells were randomly divided into the control, ZYG II, ferroptosis inhibitor group (ZYG II+ ferrostatin-1), and erastin group (ZYG II+ erastin). Cell proliferation was detected using the CCK-8 method. Cell migration and invasion were evaluated using the Transwell assay. The protein expression levels of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4), Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (SLC7A11), and Transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) were measured using western blotting. Results Compared with the control group, the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of the ZYG II group significantly decreased, the protein expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 in the ZYG II group declined significantly, and the expression of TFR1 increased significantly ( p 〈 0.05). After adding ferrostatin 1 (ZYG II+ Ferrostatin 1), the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of the inhibited cells were significantly increased, the expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11 increased significantly and the expression of TFR1 decreased significantly ( p 〈 0.05). However, after adding the erastin (ZYG II+ erastin), the cell viability was further inhibited in A549, the expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 were further inhibited and the expression of TFR1 was further increased ( p 〈 0.05). Conclusion ZYG II significantly inhibited the survival rate, proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of A549 and H1299 cells, possibly by inducing ferroptosis.
