    Abstract: The dysbiosis of human gut microbiota is strongly associated with the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). The dysbiotic features of the transition from advanced polyp to early-stage CRC are largely unknown. We performed a 16S rRNA gene sequencing and enterotype-based gut microbiota analysis study. In addition to Bacteroides - and Prevotella -dominated enterotypes, we identified an Escherichia -dominated enterotype. We found that the dysbiotic features of CRC were dissimilar in overall samples and especially Escherichia -dominated enterotype. Besides a higher abundance of Fusobacterium , Enterococcus , and Aeromonas in all CRC faecal microbiota, we found that the most notable characteristic of CRC faecal microbiota was a decreased abundance of potential beneficial butyrate-producing bacteria. Notably, Oscillospira was depleted in the transition from advanced adenoma to stage 0 CRC, whereas Haemophilus was depleted in the transition from stage 0 to early-stage CRC. We further identified 7 different CAGs by analysing bacterial clusters. The abundance of microbiota in cluster 3 significantly increased in the CRC group, whereas that of cluster 5 decreased. The abundance of both cluster 5 and cluster 7 decreased in the Escherichia -dominated enterotype of the CRC group. We present the first enterotype-based faecal microbiota analysis. The gut microbiota of colorectal neoplasms can be influenced by its enterotype.

    Abstract: Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.

    Abstract: Medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) is frequently used for the surgical correction of flatfoot. This study aims to investigate the biomechanical effect of the different diagonal screw design on a novel-designed embedded calcaneal plate for MDCO using finite element analysis (FEA), mechanical test and digital image correlation (DIC) measurement. Methods: Four groups according to the varied implanted plate were set as control group (Group 1), non-diagonal screw (Group 2), one-diagonal screw (Group 3), and two-diagonal screws groups (Group 4). For FEA, A 450 N load was applied to on the anterior process of the calcaneus from top to bottom. Observational indices included the stress on the cortical and cancellous bone of the calcaneus surrounding the implant, the plate itself as well as screws, and the displacement of the overall structure. In addition, this study also used in vitro biomechanics test to investigate the stiffness of the structure after implantation, and used DIC to observe the displacement of the calcaneus structure after external force. Results: Under a simulated load in FEA, there are significant overall instability and high stress concentration on the calcaneal surrounding host bone and the plate/screws system, respectively, in group 2 compared with other groups. Regard to the mechanical testing with DIC system, significant increased rotation stability, maximum force and stiffness with the addition of diagonal screws. In comparison to Group 2, the increase of 112% and 157% in maximum force as well as 104% and 176% in stiffness were found in Group 3 and 4, respectively. Conclusion: For reducing stress concentration and enhancing overall stability, more than one-diagonal screw design is recommended and two-diagonal screws design will be superior. This study provided biomechanical references for further calcaneal implants design to prevent clinical failure after MDCO.

    Abstract: The cellular process responsible for the degradation of cytosolic proteins and subcellular organelles in lysosomes was termed “autophagy.” This process occurs at a basal level in most tissues as part of tissue homeostasis that redounds to the regular turnover of components inside cytoplasm. The breakthrough in the autophagy field is the identification of key players in the autophagy pathway, compounded under the name “autophagy-related genes” (ATG) encoding for autophagy effector proteins. Generally, the function of autophagy can be classified into two divisions: intracellular clearance of defective macromolecules and organelles and generation of degradation products. Therapeutic strategies using stem cell–based approach come as a promising therapy and develop rapidly recently as stem cells have high self-renewability and differentiation capability as known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). They are defined as adherent fibroblast-like population with the abilities to self-renew and multi-lineage differentiate into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineage cells. To date, they are the most extensively applied adult stem cells in clinical trials. The properties of MSCs, such as immunomodulation, neuroprotection, and tissue repair pertaining to cell differentiation, processes to replace lost, or damaged cells, for aiding cell repair and revival. Autophagy has been viewed as a remarkable mechanism for maintaining homeostasis, ensuring the adequate function and survival of long-lived stem cells. In addition, authophagy also plays a remarkable role in protecting stem cells against cellular stress when the stem cell regenerative capacity is harmed in aging and cellular degeneration. Understanding the under-explored mechanisms of MSC actions and expanding the spectrum of their clinical applications may improve the utility of the MSC-based therapeutic approach in the future.

    Abstract: Chitosan (Chi) is a natural material which has been widely used in neural applications due to possessing better biocompatibility. In this research study, a novel of nanocomposites film based on Chi with hyaluronic acid (HA), combined with varying amounts of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), was created resulting in pure Chi, Chi-HA, Chi-HA-AuNPs (25 ppm), and Chi-HA-AuNPs (50 ppm). Methods: This study focused on evaluating their effects on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) viability, colony formation, and biocompatibility. The surface morphology and chemical position were characterized through UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), SEM, and contact-angle assessment. Results: When seeding MSCs on Chi-HA-AuNPs (50 ppm), the results showed high cell viability, biocompatibility, and the highest colony formation ability. Meanwhile, the evidence showed that Chi-HA-Au nanofilm was able to inhibit nestin and β-tubulin expression of MSCs, as well as inhibit the ability of neurogenic differentiation. Furthermore, the results of matrix metalloproteinase 2/9 (MMP2/9) expression in MSCs were also significantly higher in the Chi-HA-AuNP (50 ppm) group, guiding with angiogenesis and wound healing abilities. In addition, in our rat model, both capsule thickness and collagen deposition were the lowest in Chi-HA-AuNPs (50 ppm). Conclusion: Thus, in view of the in vitro and in vivo results, Chi-HA-AuNPs (50 ppm) could not only maintain the greatest stemness properties and regulate the neurogenic differentiation ability of MSCs, but was able to also induce the least immune response. Herein, Chi-HA-Au 50 ppm nanofilm holds promise as a suitable material for nerve regeneration engineering.

    Abstract: Neochlorogenic acid (5-Caffeoylquinic acid; 5-CQA), a major phenolic compound isolated from mulberry leaves, possesses anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Although it modulates lipid metabolism, the molecular mechanism is unknown. Using an in-vitro model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in which oleic acid (OA) induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells, we evaluated the alleviation effect of 5-CQA. We observed that 5-CQA improved OA-induced intracellular lipid accumulation by downregulating sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and fatty acid synthase (FASN) expression, which regulates the fatty acid synthesis, as well as SREBP2 and HMG-CoA reductases (HMG-CoR) expressions, which regulate cholesterol synthesis. Treatment with 5-CQA also increased the expression of fatty acid β-oxidation enzymes. Remarkably, 5-CQA attenuated OA-induced miR-34a expression. A transfection assay with an miR-34a mimic or miR-34a inhibitor revealed that miR-34a suppressed Moreover, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression and inactivated 5’ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Our results suggest that 5-CQA alleviates lipid accumulation by downregulating miR-34a, leading to activation of the SIRT1/AMPK pathway.

    Abstract: Nanoparticles have wide potential applications in biolabeling, bioimaging, and cell tracking. Development of dual functional nanoparticles increases the versatility. Methods: We combined the fluorescent property of nano-epoxy (N-Epo) and the magnetic characteristic of FePt to fabricate the FePt-decorated N-Epo (N-Epo-FePt). The size in diameter of N-Epo-FePt (177.38 ± 39.25 nm) was bigger than N-Epo (2.28 ± 1.01 nm), both could be absorbed into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via clathrin-mediated endocytosis and have multiple fluorescent properties (blue, green, and red). Results: N-Epo-FePt prevented N-Epo-induced platelet activation, CD68 + -macrophage differentiation in blood, and intracellular ROS generation in MSCs. The induction of apoptosis and the inhibitory effects of N-Epo-FePt on cell migration, MMP-9 activity, and secretion of SDF-1α were less than that of N-Epo in MSCs. Conclusion: N-Epo-FePt was more biocompatible without altering biological performance than N-Epo in MSCs. These results suggest that N-Epo-FePt nanoparticle can be used for fluorescence labeling of MSCs and is potential to apply to bioimaging and cell tracking of MSCs in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography.

    Abstract: The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has brought an unprecedented impact upon the global economy and public health. Although the SARS-CoV-2 virology has been gradually investigated, measures to combat this new threat in public health are still absent. To date, no certificated drug or vaccine has been developed for the treatment or prevention of coronavirus disease Extensive researches and international coordination has been conducted to rapidly develop novel vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Several major breakthroughs have been made through the identification of the genetic sequence and structural/non-structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2, which enabled the development of RNA-, DNA-based vaccines, subunit vaccines, and attenuated viral vaccines. In this review article, we present an overview of the recent advances of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and the challenges that may be encountered in the development process, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches that may help in effectively countering COVID-19.
