    Abstract: The Kingdom of Morocco approved BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use on 22 January 2021 in a two-dose, three-to-four-week interval schedule. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine real-world BBIBP-CorV vaccine effectiveness (VE) against serious or critical hospitalization of individuals RT-PCR-positive for SARS-CoV-2 during the first five months of BBIBP-CorV use in Morocco. Methods The study was conducted among adults 18–99 years old who were tested by RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 infection between 1 February and 30 June 2021. RT-PCR results were individually linked with outcomes from the COVID-19 severe or critical hospitalization dataset and with vaccination histories from the national vaccination registration system. Individuals with partial vaccination ( 〈  2 weeks after dose two) or in receipt of any other COVID-19 vaccine were excluded. Unadjusted and adjusted VE estimates against hospitalization for serious or critical illness were made by comparing two-dose vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in logistic regression models, calculated as (1-odds ratio) * 100%. Results There were 348,190 individuals able to be matched across the three databases. Among these, 140,892 were fully vaccinated, 206,149 were unvaccinated, and 1,149 received homologous BBIBP-CorV booster doses. Unadjusted, full-series, unboosted BBIBP-CorV VE against hospitalization for serious or critical illness was 90.2% (95%CI: 87.8—92.0%). Full-series, unboosted VE, adjusted for age, sex, and calendar day of RT-PCR test, was 88.5% (95%CI: 85.8—90.7%). Calendar day- and sex-adjusted VE was 96.4% (95%CI: 94.6—97.6%) for individuals  〈  60 years, and was 53.3% (95%CI: 39.6—63.9%) for individuals 60 years and older. There were no serious or critical illnesses among BBIBP-CorV-boosted individuals. Conclusions Effectiveness of Sinopharm’s BBIBP-CorV was consistent with phase III clinical trial results. Two doses of BBIBP-CorV was highly protective against COVID-19-associated serious or critical hospitalization in working-age adults under real-world conditions and moderately effective in older adults. Booster dose vaccination was associated with complete protection, regardless of age, although only a small proportion of subjects received booster doses.

    Abstract: Vanadium (V) is an ultra-trace element presenting in humans and animals, but excessive V can cause toxic effects. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an essential process for maintaining mitochondrial functions, but the relationship between V toxicity and MQC is unclear. To investigate the effects of excessive V on oxidative stress and MQC in duck hearts, 72 ducks were randomly divided into two groups, including the control group and the V group (30 mg of V/kg dry matter). The cardiac tissues were collected for the histomorphology observation and oxidative stress status evaluation at 22 and 44 days. In addition, the mRNA and protein levels of MQC-related factors were also analyzed. The results showed that excessive V could trigger vacuolar degeneration, granular degeneration, as well as mitochondrial vacuolization and swelling in myocardial cells. In addition, CAT activity was elevated in two time points, while T-SOD activity was increased in 22 days but decreased in 44 days after V treatment. Meanwhile, excessive V intake could also increase the number of Drp1 puncta, the mRNA levels of mitochondrial fission–related factors (Drp1and MFF), and protein (MFF) level, but decrease the number of Parkin puncta and the mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM), mitochondrial fusion (OPA1, Mfn1, and Mfn2), and mitophagy (Parkin, PINK1, P62, and LC3B) related mRNA levels and protein (PGC-1α, Mfn1, Mfn2, PINK1) levels. Collectively, our results suggested that excessive V could induce oxidative stress and MQC disorder in the heart of ducks.

    Abstract: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most common adverse consequence of premature delivery and the most common chronic lung disease in infants. BPD is associated with long-term lung diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders that can persist into the adulthood. The adverse consequences caused by severe BPD are more serious. However, there were few studies on the risk factors for severe BPD. Methods This is a retrospective study of preterm infants born less than 32-week gestational age (GA) and diagnosed with BPD. Results A total of 250 preterm infants with a diagnosis of BPD and GA  〈  32 weeks were included (137 boys [54.8%] and 113 girls [45.2%] ). The birth weight ranged from 700 g to 2010 g and the mean birth weight was 1318.52 g (255.45 g). The GA ranged from 25 weeks to 31 weeks and 6 days (mean, 30 weeks). The number of cases of mild, moderate and severe BPD were 39 (15.6%), 185 (74.0%) and 26 (10.4%), respectively. There were significant differences in the rate of small for gestational age (SGA), intrauterine asphyxia, pulmonary hemorrhage, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), circulatory failure, pulmonary hypertension, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), pulmonary surfactant (PS), aminophylline, caffeine, glucocorticoids, tracheal intubation, diuretics, and parenteral nutrition length among the three groups ( P   〈  0.05). The time of parenteral nutrition (aOR = 3.343, 95% CI : 2.198 ~ 5.085) and PDA (aOR =9.441, 95% CI : 1.186 ~ 75.128) were independent risk factors for severe BPD compared with mild BPD. PDA (aOR = 5.202, 95% CI : 1.803 ~ 15.010) and aminophylline (aOR = 6.179, 95% CI : 2.200 ~ 17.353) were independent risk factors for severe BPD, while caffeine (aOR = 0.260, 95% CI : 0.092 ~ 0.736) was the protective factor for severe BPD compared with moderate BPD. The time of parenteral nutrition (aOR = 2.972, 95% CI : 1.989 ~ 4.440) and caffeine (aOR = 4.525, 95% CI : 1.042 ~ 19.649) were independent risk factors for moderate BPD compared with mild BPD. Caffeine (aOR = 3.850, 95% CI : 1.358 ~ 10.916) was the independent risk factor for moderate BPD, while PDA (aOR = 0.192, 95% CI : 0.067 ~ 0.555) and aminophylline (aOR = 0.162, 95% CI : 0.058 ~ 0.455) were protective factors for moderate BPD compared with severe BPD. The time of parenteral nutrition (aOR = 0.337, 95% CI : 0.225 ~ 0.503) and caffeine (aOR = 0.221, 95% CI : 0.051 ~ 0.960) were protective factors for mild BPD compared with moderate BPD. The time of parenteral nutrition (aOR = 0.299, 95% CI : 0.197 ~ 0.455) and PDA (aOR = 0.106, 95% CI : 0.013 ~ 0.843) were protective factors for mild BPD compared with severe BPD. Conclusion The time of parenteral nutrition is the risk factor of moderate and severe BPD. PDA and aminophylline are risk factors for severe BPD. The role of caffeine in the severity of BPD is uncertain, and SGA is not related to the severity of BPD. Severe or moderate BPD can be avoided by shortening duration of parenteral nutrition, early treatment of PDA, reducing use of aminophylline and rational use of caffeine. Trial registration Retrospectively registered.

    Abstract: The detrimental impact of obesity on human health is increasingly evident with the rise in obesity-related diseases. Skeletal muscle, the crucial organ responsible for energy balance metabolism, plays a significant role as a secretory organ by releasing various myokines. Among these myokines, interleukin 6 (IL-6) is closely associated with skeletal muscle contraction. IL-6 triggers the process of lipolysis by mobilizing energy-storing adipose tissue, thereby providing energy for physical exercise. This phenomenon also elucidates the health benefits of regular exercise. However, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue maintain a constant interaction, both directly and indirectly. Direct interaction occurs through the accumulation of excess fat within skeletal muscle, known as ectopic fat deposition. Indirect interaction takes place when adipose tissue is mobilized to supply the energy for skeletal muscle during exercise. Consequently, maintaining a functional balance between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue becomes paramount in regulating energy metabolism and promoting overall health. IL-6, as a representative cytokine, participates in various inflammatory responses, including non-classical inflammatory responses such as adipogenesis. Skeletal muscle influences adipogenesis through paracrine mechanisms, primarily by secreting IL-6. In this research paper, we aim to review the role of skeletal muscle-derived IL-6 in lipid metabolism and other physiological activities, such as insulin resistance and glucose tolerance. By doing so, we provide valuable insights into the regulatory function of skeletal muscle-derived myokines in lipid metabolism.

    Abstract: The assessment of population genetic structure is the basis for understanding the genetic information of indigenous breeds and is important for the protection and management of indigenous breeds. However, the population genetic differentiation of many local breeds still remains unclear. Here, we performed a genome-wide comparative analysis of Jinding, Liancheng white, Putian black, and Shanma ducks based on the genomic sequences using RAD sequencing to understand their population structure and genetic diversity. The population parameters showed that there were obvious genetic differences among the four indigenous breeds, which were separated groups. Among them, Liancheng white and Shanma ducks may come from the same ancestor because the phylogenetic tree forms three tree trunks. In addition, during the runs of homozygosity (ROH), we found that the average inbreeding coefficient of Liancheng white and Putian black ducks was the lowest and the highest, respectively. Five genomic regions were considered to be the hotspots of autozygosity among these indigenous duck breeds, and the candidate genes involved a variety of potential variations, such as muscle growth, pigmentation, and neuroregulation. These findings provide insights into the further improvement and conservation of Fujian duck breeds.

    Abstract: Neuroblastoma (NBL) is the most common extra-cranial solid tumour in childhood, with prognosis ranging from spontaneous remission to high risk for rapid and fatal progression. Despite existing therapy approaches, the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) for patients with advanced NBL remains below 30%, emphasizing urgent necessary for novel therapeutic strategies. Studies have shown that epigenetic disorders play an essential role in the pathogenesis of NBL. However, the function and mechanism of N7-methylguanosine (m 7 G) methyltransferase in NBL remains unknown. Methods The expression levels of m 7 G tRNA methyltransferase Methyltransferase-like 1 (METTL1) were analyzed by querying the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and further confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. Kaplan-Meier, univariate and multivariate cox hazard analysis were performed to reveal the prognostic role of METTL1. Cell function assays were performed to evaluate how METTL1 works in proliferation, apoptosis and migration in cell lines and xenograft mouse models. The role of METTL1 on mRNA translation activity of NBL cells was measured using puromycin intake assay and polysome profiling assay. The m 7 G modified tRNAs were identified by tRNA reduction and cleavage sequencing (TRAC-seq). Ribosome nascent-chain complex-bound mRNA sequencing (RNC-seq) was utilized to identify the variation of gene translation efficiency (TE). Analyzed the codon frequency decoded by m 7 G tRNA to clarify the translation regulation and mechanism of m 7 G modification in NBL. Results This study found that METTL1 were significantly up-regulated in advanced NBL, which acted as an independent risk factor and predicted poor prognosis. Further in NBL cell lines and BALB/c-nu female mice, we found METTL1 played a crucial role in promoting NBL progression. Furthermore, m 7 G profiling and translation analysis revealed downregulation of METTL1 would inhibit puromycin intake efficiency of NBL cells, indicating that METTL1 did count crucially in regulation of NBL cell translation. With all tRNAs with m 7 G modification identified in NBL cells, knockdown of METTL1 would significantly reduce the levels of both m 7 G modification and m 7 G tRNAs expressions. Result of RNC-seq shew there were 339 overlapped genes with impaired translation in NBL cells upon METTL1 knockdown. Further analysis revealed these genes contained higher frequency of codons decoded by m 7 G-modified tRNAs and were enriched in oncogenic pathways. Conclusion This study revealed the critical role and mechanism of METTL1-mediated tRNA m 7 G modification in regulating NBL progression, providing new insights for developing therapeutic approaches for NBL patients.
