Neottiamaolanensis, a replacement name for Neottiabifida M.N.Wang (Orchidaceae).

According to Articles 53.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (Shenzhen Code), Neottiabifida M.N.Wang (as 'bifidus'; PhytoKeys 229: 222, 2023) is an illegitimate name, and hence a new name Neottiamaolanensis M. N. Wang is proposed here.

Neottiabifidus (Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae, Neottieae), a new mycoheterotrophic species from Guizhou, China.

Neottiabifidus, a new mycoheterotrophic orchid, found in Maolan National Nature Reserve in Guizhou Province, China, is described and illustrated here. The new species is close to N.nidus-avis, N.kiusiana and N.papilligera but differs in having a finely pubescent rachis with fewer flowers, a finely pubescent pedicel, and a fishtail-shaped lip that is deeply bilobed to the middle of the lip, with the lobes diverging at an acute angle (45°) to each other and mesochile with many papillae. Additionally, N.bifidus is well supported as a new species by molecular phylogenetic results based on ITS and chloroplast genome. The chloroplast genome of the novelty, which contains an LSC region of 33,819 bp, SSC region of 5,312 bp and IRs of 46,762 bp was assembled and annotated. A key to mycoheterotrophic Neottia species in China is also provided.

Simiao Yong'an decoction ameliorates murine collagen-induced arthritis by modulating neutrophil activities: An in vitro and in vivo study.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic autoimmune disease with high morbidity and disability rate. Currently, there is no effective allopathic treatment for RA, and most of the drugs provoke many adverse effects. Simiao Yong'an decoction (SMYAD) is a traditional Chinese prescription for the treatment of sore and gangrene caused by hot poison. With the development of pharmacology and clinical research, SMYAD has remarkable anti-inflammatory properties and has been used for RA treatments for years. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed to investigate the anti-arthritic effect of SMYAD and further explore the immunopharmacological mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Arthritis was induced in DBA/1 mice by two-time immunizations. Collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis (CIA) mice were divided into 4 groups: control, model, methotrexate (MTX), and SMYAD group (n = 6). The administration groups were given MTX (0.5 mg/kg/3 d) and SMYAD (4.5 g/kg/d) by gavage from day 14. The arthritis index (AI) score was evaluated every 3 days after the second immunization. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Safranin-O fast green staining, Trap staining, and Micro-CT were used to measure the histopathology injuries and bone destruction of joints. Granulocyte changes in the spleen, bone marrow, and period blood were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in joints were detected by qRT-PCR. SMYAD-containing serum was obtained from SD rats gavaged with SMYAD. Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood and bone marrow for the in vitro experiments of transwell cell assay, apoptosis assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation. RESULTS: SMYAD significantly relieved arthritis severity in CIA mice. The AI score was significantly decreased in the SMYAD group compared with the model group. Additionally, SMYAD alleviated inflammatory infiltration, cartilage damage, osteoclast formation, and bone damage in the ankle joints. In the flow cytometry assay, SMYAD significantly reduced granulocytes number in the spleen and bone marrow, while increased in peripheral blood. Furthermore, compared with the CIA group, SMYAD suppressed the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors including TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6 and chemokines CXCL1, CXCL2, and IL-8 in the inflamed joints. In the in vitro studies, 20% SMYAD-containing serum effectively inhibited the migration of neutrophils, promoted neutrophils apoptosis, reduced ROS production and NETs formation. CONCLUSION: Collectively, our results demonstrated that SMYAD effectively restrained arthritis in CIA mice by modulating neutrophil activities.

Structural characterization of PCP-Ⅰ from Poria as vaccine adjuvant and its hydrolytic oligosaccharide / 中国中药杂志

Poria is an important medical herb in clinic. The authors isolated a polysaccharide(PCP-Ⅰ) from Poria in previous studies, which is composed of galactose, mannose, fucose and glucose. PCP-Ⅰ exhibited significant adjuvant effects on H1N1 influenza vaccine, hepatitis B surface antigen and anthrax protective antigen, and its adjuvant activity was stronger than aluminium adjuvant. However, little is known about the chemical structure of PCP-Ⅰ at present. In this study, weak acid hydrolysis was used to obtain the backbone oligosaccharide of PCP-Ⅰ. Then periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, methylation analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) were performed to investigate the chemical structural features of PCP-Ⅰ and its hydrolytic oligosaccharide(PCP-Ⅰ-hy-1). These results suggested that the backbone of PCP-Ⅰ was composed of galactose with α anomeric carbon and β anomeric carbon. The linking residues of galactan are(1→),(l→6) and(1→2,6).

Applying attention-based BiLSTM and technical indicators in the design and performance analysis of stock trading strategies.

With the development of the Internet, information on the stock market has gradually become transparent, and stock information is easy to obtain. For investors, investment performance depends on the amount of capital and effective trading strategies. The analysis tool commonly used by investors and securities analysts is technical analysis (TA). Technical analysis is the study of past and current financial market information, and a large amount of statistical data is used to predict price trends and determine trading strategies. Technical indicators (TIs) are a type of technical analysis that summarizes possible future trends of stock prices based on historical statistical data to assist investors in making decisions. The stock price trend is a typical time series data with special characteristics such as trend, seasonality, and periodicity. In recent years, time series deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated their powerful performance in machine translation, speech processing, and natural language processing fields. This research proposes the concept of attention-based BiLSTM (AttBiLSTM) applied to trading strategy design and verified the effectiveness of a variety of TIs, including stochastic oscillator, RSI, BIAS, W%R, and MACD. This research also proposes two trading strategies that suitable for DNN, combining with TIs and verifying their effectiveness. The main contributions of this research are as follows: (1) As our best knowledge, this is the first research to propose the concept of applying TIs to the LSTM-attention time series model for stock price prediction. (2) This study introduces five well-known TIs, which reached a maximum of 68.83% in the accuracy of stock trend prediction. (3) This research introduces the concept of exporting the probability of the deep model to the trading strategy. On the backtest of TPE0050, the experimental results reached the highest return on investment of 42.74%. (4) This research concludes from an empirical point of view that technical analysis combined with time series deep neural network has significant effects in stock price prediction and return on investment.

Hospital-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury in Older Patients: Clinical Characteristics and Drug Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Information on older patients with hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) and use of drugs is limited. AIM: This study aimed to assess the clinical characteristics, drug uses, and in-hospital outcomes of hospitalized older patients with HA-AKI. METHODS: Patients aged ≥65 years who were hospitalized in medical wards were retrospectively analyzed. The study patients were divided into the HA-AKI and non-AKI groups based on the changes in serum creatinine. Disease incidence, risk factors, drug uses, and in-hospital outcomes were compared between the groups. RESULTS: Of 26,710 older patients in medical wards, 4,491 (16.8%) developed HA-AKI. Older patients with HA-AKI had higher rates of multiple comorbidities and Charlson Comorbidity Index score than those without AKI (p < 0.001). In the HA-AKI group, the proportion of patients with prior use of drugs with possible nephrotoxicity was higher than that of patients with prior use of drugs with identified nephrotoxicity (p < 0.05). The proportions of patients with critical illness, use of nephrotoxic drugs, and the requirements of intensive care unit treatment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and dialysis as well as in-hospital mortality and hospitalization duration and costs were higher in the HA-AKI than the non-AKI group; these increased with HA-AKI severity (all p for trend <0.001). With the increase in the number of patients with continued use of drugs with possible nephrotoxicity after HA-AKI, the clinical outcomes showed a tendency to worsen (p < 0.001). Moreover, HA-AKI incidence (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 10.26; 95% confidence interval (CI), 8.27-12.74; p < 0.001), and nephrotoxic drugs exposure (adjusted OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.63-1.91; p < 0.001) had an association with an increased in-hospital mortality risk. CONCLUSION: AKI incidence was high among hospitalized older patients. Older patients with HA-AKI had worse in-hospital outcomes and higher resource utilization. Nephrotoxic drug exposure and HA-AKI incidence were associated with an increased in-hospital mortality risk.

Low sink demand caused net photosynthetic rate decrease is closely related to the irrecoverable damage of oxygen-releasing complex and electron receptor in peach trees.

Source sink balance is one of the major determinants of carbon partitioning in plants. However, its effects on photosynthesis in fruit trees are largely unknown. In this work, the effects of low sink demand on net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and chlorophyll fluorescence after fruit removal (-fruit) in peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. 'Zaojiubao') trees were investigated. The stepwise energy flow through photosystem II (PSII) at the reaction center (RC) was analyzed with quantitative analyses of fluorescence transient, also called JIP-test. We found that Pn was significantly lower and closely correlated to the leaf stomatal conductance (Gs) of -fruit trees than that of fruit retained (+fruit) trees. Leaf temperature (Tleaf) of -fruit trees was remarkably higher than that of +fruit trees. Day-time-period assays of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence revealed that, in the leaves of -fruit trees, the fluorescence parameters, such as NPQ (non-photochemical quenching coefficient) and ΦD0 (maximum quantum yield of non-photochemical de-excitation), decreased in the morning and recovered to the normal level in the afternoon, whereas other parameters, such as ΦE0 (quantum yield for electron transport at t = 0), Ψ0 (probability that a trapped exciton moves an electron to QA pool), F0 (minimum fluorescence, when all PSII RCs are open) and Wk (relative variable fluorescence at 300 µs of the chlorophyll fluorescence transient), did not. These results suggest that OEC complex and QA pool were irreversibly affected by low sink demand, whereas light harvest antenna and PSII potential efficiency retained a strong ability to recover.

Pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant tislelizumab and chemotherapy for Pancoast tumor: A case report.

A 60-year-old man was hospitalized because of numbness and weakness in the right upper limb. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large mass in the right upper lobe invading the right eighth cervical and first thoracic nerve root. Biopsy pathology confirmed primary lung adenocarcinoma with a clinical stage of cT4N0M0 IIIA, negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion gene and epidermal growth factor receptor mutations but positive for programmed death ligand 1 (3%). Neoadjuvant tislelizumab and chemotherapy were offered to this patient with Pancoast tumor, and tumor shrinkage of 71% was achieved. After the operation, surgical pathology indicated pathologic complete response (pCR). Circulating tumor cells testing was negative after the first adjuvant treatment. In this case, we provide real-world evidence of encouraging pCR with neoadjuvant tislelizumab and chemotherapy for a patient with Pancoast tumor.

Timing and Origins of Local and Distant Metastases in Lung Cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Metastasis is the primary cause of lung cancer-related death. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms and evolutionary patterns of lung cancer metastases are still elusive. METHODS: We performed whole-exome sequencing for 40 primary tumors (PTs) and 61 metastases from 47 patients with lung cancer, of which 40 patients had paired PTs and metastases. The PT-metastasis genomic divergence, metastatic drivers, timing of metastatic dissemination, and evolutionary origins were analyzed using appropriate statistical tools and mathematical models. RESULTS: There were various degrees of genomic heterogeneity when comparing the paired primary and metastatic lesions or comparing metastases of different sites. Multiple metastasis-selected/enriched genetic alterations were found, such as MYC amplification, NKX2-1 amplification, RICTOR amplification, arm 20p gain, and arm 11p loss, and these results were were also featured in a meta-analysis cross-validated using an independent cohort from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center database. To elucidate the metastatic seeding time, we applied a metastatic model and found 61.1% of the tumors were late dissemination, in which the metastatic seeding happened approximately 2.74 years before clinical detection. One exception was lymph node metastases whose dissemination time was relatively early. By analyzing the evolutionary origins, we reported that nonlymph node metastases were mainly seeded by the PT (87.5%) rather than the earlier colonized lymph node metastases. CONCLUSIONS: Our results shed light on the molecular features that potentially drive lung cancer metastases. The distinct temporospatial pattern of disease progression revealed that lung cancer was susceptible to either late dissemination or indolent early lymph node metastases, leaving a potential time window to minimize metastases by early cancer detection.

It has been proved that the system could realize unified design, standard access, centralized management, and security audit for application access, could effectively solve the problems of Internet application access, and could also provide powerful data support for hospital medical, teaching and research work.

Clinical observation on spleen-invigorating and qi-benefiting pediatric massage for treating recurrent respiratory tract infection in children with cerebral palsy due to qi deficiency of spleen and lung / 针灸推拿医学（英文版）

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of spleen-invigorating and qi-benefiting pediatric massage (tuina) for treating recurrent respiratory tract infection in children with cerebral palsy due to qi deficiency of spleen and lung. Methods: A total of 70 children with cerebral palsy who suffered from recurrent respiratory tract infection due to qi deficiency of spleen and lung were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with conventional rehabilitation training, while the observation group was given additional spleen-invigorating and qi-benefiting pediatric massage, and the control group additionally took oral Yu Ping Feng granule. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by the total effective rate, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, and serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) A, IgM and IgG. Results: The difference in total effective rate between the two groups after treatment was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM symptom scores in both groups decreased to varying degrees than those before treatment, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01); the differences in the scores of various TCM symptoms between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of IgA, IgM and IgG of the children in both groups increased to varying degrees, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The between-group differences in the IgA, IgM and IgG levels after treatment were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Spleen-invigorating and qi-benefiting pediatric massage can effectively treat recurrent respiratory tract infection due to qi deficiency of spleen and lung in children with cerebral palsy, relieve the clinical symptoms and improve immune function, and thus is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment on keloid tumor immune gene expression / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has been demonstrated to influence the keloid recurrence rate after surgery and to relieve keloid symptoms and other pathological processes in keloids. To explore the mechanism of the effect of HBOT on keloids, tumor immune gene expression and immune cell infiltration were studied in this work.@*METHODS@#From February 2021 to April 2021, HBOT was carried out on keloid patients four times before surgery. Keloid tissue samples were collected and divided into an HBOT group (keloid with HBOT before surgery [HK] group, n = 6) and a non-HBOT group (K group, n = 6). Tumor gene expression was analyzed with an Oncomine Immune Response Research Assay kit. Data were mined with R package. The differentially expressed genes between the groups were compared. Hub genes between the groups were determined and verified with Quantitative Real-time PCR. Immune cell infiltration was analyzed based on CIBERSORT deconvolution algorithm analysis of gene expression and verified with immunohistochemistry (IHC).@*RESULTS@#Inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced in the HK group. There were 178 upregulated genes and 217 downregulated genes. Ten hub genes were identified, including Integrin Subunit Alpha M (ITGAM), interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-2, Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type C (PTPRC), CD86, transforming growth factor (TGF), CD80, CTLA4, and IL-10. CD80, ITGAM, IL-4, and PTPRC with significantly downregulated expression were identified. IL-10 and IL-2 were upregulated in the HK group but without a significant difference. Infiltration differences of CD8 lymphocyte T cells, CD4 lymphocyte T-activated memory cells, and dendritic resting cells were identified with gene CIBERSORT deconvolution algorithm analysis. Infiltration levels of CD4 lymphocyte T cell in the HK group were significantly higher than those of the K group in IHC verification.@*CONCLUSION@#HBOT affected tumor gene expression and immune cell infiltration in keloids. CD4 lymphocyte T cell, especially activated memory CD4+T, might be the key regulatory immune cell, and its related gene expression needs further study.

Wait-and-See Treatment Strategy Could be Considered for Lung Adenocarcinoma with Special Pleural Dissemination Lesions, and Low Genomic Instability Correlates with Better Survival.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a wait-and-see strategy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with special pleural dissemination lesions (r-pM1a and s-pM1a). Furthermore, the study characterized genomic alternations about disease progression. METHODS: For this study, 131 NSCLC patients with a diagnosis of pM1a were retrospectively selected. Survival differences were evaluated among patients treated with three different initial postoperative treatments: chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and wait-and-see strategy. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on primary and metastatic tumors of 10 patients with dramatic progression and 13 patients with gradual progression. RESULTS: The wait-and-see group showed better progression-free survival (PFS) than the chemotherapy group (p < 0.001) but PFS similar to that of targeted group (p = 0.984). This pattern persisted in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive patients. For patients with EGFR-negative/unknown status, PFS was longer in the wait-and-see group than in the two treatment groups. Furthermore, better overall survival (OS) was observed for the patients who received chemotherapy or targeted therapy after the wait-and-see strategy than for those who received chemotherapy or targeted therapy immediately. Lymph node status was an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS. Finally, WES analysis showed that a high genomic instability index (GIS) and chromosome 18q loss were more common in metastatic tumors, and low GIS was significantly associated with better PFS (p = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS: The wait-and-see strategy could be considered for special pM1a patients without lymph nodes metastasis, and patients with a low GIS may be suitable for this strategy.
