    Abstract: Further studies are needed to improve the understanding of the pathological process underlying cognitive impairments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the global and topographic changes of white matter integrity and cortical structure related to cognitive impairments in a community-based population. Methods A cross-sectional analysis was performed based on 995 subjects (aged 56.8 ± 9.1 years, 34.8% males) from the Shunyi study, a community-dwelling cohort. Cognitive status was accessed by a series of neurocognitive tests including Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), category Verbal Fluency Test (VFT), Digit Span Test (DST), and Trail Making Tests A and B (TMT-A and TMT-B). Structural and diffusional MRI data were acquired. White matter integrity was assessed using fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), and peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD). Cortical surface area, thickness, and volume were measured using Freesurfer. Probabilistic tractography was further conducted to track the white matter fibers connecting to the cortical regions related to cognition. General linear models were used to investigate the association between brain structure and cognition. Results Global mean FA and MD were significantly associated with performances in VFT (FA, β 0.119, p   & lt; 0.001; MD, β −0.128, p   & lt; 0.001). Global cortical surface area, thickness, and volume were not related to cognitive scores. In tract-based spatial statistics analysis, disruptive white matter integrity was related to cognition impairment, mainly in visuomotor processing speed, semantic memory, and executive function (TMT-A and VFT), rather than verbal short-term memory and working memory (DST). In the whole brain vertex-wise analysis, surface area in the left orbitofrontal cortex, right posterior-dorsal part of the cingulate gyrus, and left central sulcus were positively associated with MMSE and MoCA scores, and the association were independent of the connecting white matter tract. Conclusion Disrupted white matter integrity and regional cortical surface area were related to cognition in community-dwelling populations. The associations of cortical surface area and cognition were independent of the connecting white matter tract.

    Abstract: To adopt molecular screening in asymptomatic individuals at high risk of developing keratoconus as a combinative approach to prevent subclinical patients from post-refractive surgery progressive corneal ectasia. Methods In this study, 79 Chinese and nine Greek families with keratoconus were recruited, including 91 patients with clinically diagnosed keratoconus as well as their asymptomatic but assumptive high-risk first-degree relatives based on underlying genetic factor. Mutational screening of VSX1 , TGFBI , and ZEB1 genes and full clinical assessment including Pentacam Scheimpflug tomography were carried out in these individuals. Results Five variants in VSX1 and TGFBI genes were identified in three Chinese families and one Greek family, and four of them were novel ones. Surprisingly, ultra-early corneal changes in Belin/Ambrosio Enhanced Ectasia Display of Pentacam corneal topography together with co-segregated variants were revealed in the relatives who had no self-reported symptoms. Conclusions Variants of VSX1 and TGFBI genes identified in both the clinically diagnosed and subclinical patients may cause the keratoconus through an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, with different variable expressivity. Combining genetic with Belin/AmbrosioEnhanced Ectasia Display can be used to identify patients with latent keratoconus. This study indicates that genetic testing may play an important supplementary role in re-classifying the disease manifestation and evaluating the preoperative examination of refractive surgery.

    Abstract: Introduction: Polysaccharides from Grifola frondosa (Dicks.) Gray (HSH) and Inonotus obliquus (Fr.) Pilat (BHR) showed noticeable effects on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, but their systemic modulation effects have not been fully revealed. This study aimed to investigate the regulation of the gut microbiota and systemic metabolism by HSH and BHR in DSS-induced colitis. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were given DSS (2.5%) in water and were treated with HSH and BHR (200 mg/kg/day) by gavage. Body weight and colon length were recorded, and H & amp;E and AB-PAS staining of the colon were conducted to evaluate the model and the protective effect of the polysaccharides. Additionally, an LC-QTOF/MS-based untargeted metabolomic platform was used to identify the metabolites in the serum, colon tissue, gut contents, and faeces and investigate differential metabolites and metabolic pathways. 16S rDNA gene sequencing was used to measure the composition of bacterial communities. Results: The results showed that the mouse colitis model was established successfully, as evidenced by an increased disease activity index score [2.83 ± 0.62 vs. 0.06 ± 0.14 ( p & lt; 0.001)] and shortened colon length [5.43 ± 0.64 cm vs. 7.04 ± 0.29 cm ( p & lt; 0.001)], and HSH and BHR ameliorated DSS-induced colitis by improving the disease activity index (2.17 ± 0.28 and 1.83 ± 0.29, respectively) and restoring the colon length (6.12 ± 0.30 cm and 6.62 ± 0.35 cm, respectively). HSH and BHR significantly modulated metabolites involved in aromatic amino acid metabolism, the citrate cycle, purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, etc. HSH and BHR increased the Chao1 index by 64.25% and 60.25%, respectively, and they increased the Shannon index by 13.02% and 10.23%, respectively. They both reversed the increase in the abundances of g_Odoribacter , g_Clostridium , g_AF12 , g_Parabacteroides and g_Turicibacter and reversed the decrease in the abundance of g_unclassified_Bacteria induced by DSS. Specifically, HSH reversed the reductions in g_unclassified_Lactobacillales and g_Ruminococcus , and BHR reversed the decreases in g_unidentified_Coriobacteriaceae and g_unclassified_Firmicutes . Discussion: These results suggested that HSH and BHR may ameliorate DSS-induced colitis by global modulation of systemic metabolism and the gut microbiota. Targeting the gut microbiota may be a potentially effective strategy to modulate systemic metabolism and treat colitis.

    Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SHR2285, the first oral coagulation factor XIa (FXIa) inhibitor developed in China in combination with aspirin, clopidogrel or ticagrelor in healthy subjects. Methods: This study was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (only SHR2285) design (NCT04945616). A total of 52 healthy subjects, 29 male and 23 female, were completed in this study. The subjects were divided into three groups: A, B and C, 16 subjects in group A [aspirin + clopidogrel + placebo or SHR2285 200 mg bid (1:3, 4 received placebo and 12 received SHR2285)] 16 subjects in group B [aspirin + clopidogrel + placebo or SHR2285 300 mg bid (1:3, 3 received placebo and 13 received SHR2285)] and 20 subjects in group C (aspirin + ticagrelor + placebo or SHR2285 300 mg bid (2:3, 8 received placebo and 12 received SHR2285)), respectively. All groups were administered orally for six consecutive days. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics parameters were assessed. Results: 1) SHR2285 was well tolerated, and all adverse events were mild. There was no evidence of an increased risk of bleeding. 2) After 6 days of twice-daily administration, SHR2285 could reach a steady state. The mean half-life of SHR2285 in group A, group B and group C was 13.9 h, 14.5 h and 13.8 h, respectively. 3) SHR2285 markedly inhibited FXI activity and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). In group A, group B and group C, the mean maximum inhibition rate of FXI activity was 84.8%, 89.3% and 92.2% and the mean maximum prolongation of APTT was 2.08-fold, 2.36-fold and 2.26-fold, respectively. Conclusion: These data suggest that SHR2285, a potential oral FXIa inhibitor, is expected to become a novel, safe and effective anticoagulant when combined with aspirin, clopidogrel or ticagrelor.

    Abstract: The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, manifested by the great swings of large-scale sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the equatorial central to eastern Pacific oceans, is a major source of interannual global shifts in climate patterns and weather activities. ENSO’s SST anomalies exhibit remarkable spatiotemporal pattern diversity (STPD), with their spatial pattern diversity dominated by Central Pacific (CP) and Eastern Pacific (EP) El Niño events and their temporal diversity marked by different timescales and intermittency in these types of events. By affecting various Earth system components, ENSO and its STPD yield significant environmental, ecological, economic, and societal impacts over the globe. The basic dynamics of ENSO as a canonical oscillator generated by coupled ocean–atmosphere interactions in the tropical Pacific have been largely understood. A minimal simple conceptual model such as the recharge oscillator paradigm provides means for quantifying the linear and nonlinear seasonally modulated growth rate and frequency together with ENSO’s state-dependent noise forcing for understanding ENSO’s amplitude and periodicity, boreal winter-time phase locking, and warm/cold phase asymmetry. However, the dynamical mechanisms explaining the key features of ENSO STPD associated with CP and EP events remain to be better understood. This article provides a summary of the recent active research on the dynamics of ENSO STPD together with discussions on challenges and outlooks for theoretical, diagnostic, and numerical modeling approaches to advance our understanding and modeling of ENSO, its STPD, and their broad impacts.

    Abstract: National data on the admission rate, distribution, in-hospital mortality, and economic burden of traumatic fractures in China is unclear. We aimed to conduct a cross-sectional population-based study to determine such above data at the national level in China. Methods A national administrative database was used to review all traumatic fracture hospitalizations in China during 2020, from which a total of 2,025,169 inpatients with traumatic fractures was retrieved. Admission rates and in-hospital mortality rates stratified by age, sex, and region were calculated. The causes of traumatic fracture and economic burden were described. Results The admission rate of traumatic fractures of all China population in 2020 was 1.437‰. The admission rate increased with age and varied with genders and causes of injuries. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic fracture hospitalization, followed by road traffic injuries. The most common diagnoses were femoral neck fractures, with a number of 138,377. The in-hospital mortality was 1.209‰. Road traffic injuries led to the highest in-hospital mortality. The median length of stay was 10 days, with the median hospitalization cost of ¥20,900 (about $3,056). Conclusion Traumatic fractures are concerning conditions with a high admission rate and in-hospital mortality in China, which are mainly caused by falls and road traffic injuries. The government should implement more public health policies to enhance the health of the elderly and improve transportation safety to prevent traumatic fractures.

    Abstract: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains a major strategy to cure patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether isolated flow cytometry (FCM)-positive central nervous system (CNS) involvement before allo-HSCT is clinically significant. Methods The effects of isolated FCM-positive CNS involvement prior to transplantation on the outcomes of 1406 ALL patients with complete remission (CR) were retrospectively investigated. Results Patients were classified into isolated FCM-positive CNS involvement (n=31), cytology-positive CNS involvement (n = 43), and negative CNS involvement (n = 1332) groups. Among the three groups, the 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) values were 42.3%, 48.8%, and 23.4%, respectively ( P & lt;0.001). The 5-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) values were 44.7%, 34.9%, and 60.8%, respectively ( P & lt;0.001). Compared with the negative CNS group (n=1332), the 5-year CIR of the pre-HSCT CNS involvement group (n=74) was higher (46.3% vs . 23.4%, P & lt;0.001], and the 5-year LFS was inferior (39.1% vs . 60.8%, P & lt;0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that four variables, T-cell ALL, in second complete remission or beyond (CR2+) at HSCT, pre-HSCT measurable residual disease positivity, and pre-HSCT CNS involvement, were independently associated with a higher CIR and inferior LFS. A new scoring system was developed using the following four variables: low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk, and extremely high-risk groups. The 5-year CIR values were 16.9%, 27.8%, 50.9%, and 66.7%, respectively ( P & lt;0.001), while the 5-year LFS values were 67.6%, 56.9%, 31.0%, and 13.3%, respectively ( P & lt;0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that ALL patients with isolated FCM-positive CNS involvement are at a higher risk of recurrence after transplantation. Patients with pre-HSCT CNS involvement had higher CIR and inferior survival outcomes.

    Abstract: Background: Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma; SSc), a rare and heterogeneous connective tissue disease, remains unclear in terms of its underlying causative genes and effective therapeutic approaches. The purpose of the present study was to identify hub genes, diagnostic markers and explore potential small-molecule drugs of SSc. Methods: The cohorts of data used in this study were downloaded from the Gene Expression Complex (GEO) database. Integrated bioinformatic tools were utilized for exploration, including Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Connectivity Map (CMap) analysis, molecular docking, and pharmacokinetic/toxicity properties exploration. Results: Seven hub genes (THY1, SULF1, PRSS23, COL5A2, NNMT, SLCO2B1, and TIMP1) were obtained in the merged gene expression profiles of GSE45485 and GSE76885. GSEA results have shown that they are associated with autoimmune diseases, microorganism infections, inflammatory related pathways, immune responses, and fibrosis process. Among them, THY1 and SULF1 were identified as diagnostic markers and validated in skin samples from GSE32413, GSE95065, GSE58095 and GSE125362. Finally, ten small-molecule drugs with potential therapeutic effects were identified, mainly including phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors (BRL-50481, dipyridamole), TGF-β receptor inhibitor (SB-525334), and so on. Conclusion: This study provides new sights into a deeper understanding the molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of SSc. More importantly, the results may offer promising clues for further experimental studies and novel treatment strategies.
