ABSTRACT
This study aimed to enhance extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) production in Cordyceps militaris by constructing a quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate the expression of biosynthetic enzyme genes, including phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase, phosphomannomutase, polysaccharide synthase, and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase genes. The study found higher EPS concentrations in seven recombinant strains compared to the wild-type C. militaris, indicating that the overexpression of key enzyme genes increased EPS production. Among them, the CM-pgm-2 strain exhibited the highest EPS production, reaching a concentration of 3.82 ± 0.26 g/L, which was 1.52 times higher than the amount produced by the wild C. militaris strain. Additionally, the regulatory effects of aromatic amino acids on the QS system of the CM-pgm-2 strain were investigated. Under the influence of 45 mg/L tryptophan, the EPS production in CM-pgm-2 reached 4.75 ± 0.20 g/L, representing a 1.90-fold increase compared to wild C. militaris strains. This study provided an effective method for the large-scale production of EPSs in C. militaris, and opened up new avenues for research into fungal QS mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Huxin formula (HXF) in curtailing atherosclerosis and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: According to random number table method, 24 specific pathogen free male ApoE-/- mice were randomly divided into model group, HXF low-dose (HXF-L) group (8.4 g/kg daily), HXF high-dose (HXF-H) group (16.8 g/kg daily), and pravastatin (8 mg/kg daily) group in Experiment I (n=6 per group). C57BL/6J mice served as the control group (n=6). ApoE-/- mice in HXF-L, HXF-H, pravastatin groups were fed a Western diet and administered continuously by gavage for 12 weeks, while C57BL/6J mice in the control group were fed conventional lab mouse chow for 12 weeks. Further, Tregs were depleted by weekly intraperitoneal injection of purified anti-mouse CD25 antibody (PC61, 250 µg per mouse) for 4 weeks in Experiment II (n=6 per group). Oil Red O and Masson staining were used to evaluate the plaque area and aortic root fibrosis. The CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg counts in the lymph nodes and spleen cells were detected using flow cytometric analysis. The transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1), interleukin (IL)-10, and IL-6 serum levels were examined by MILLIPLEX® MAP technology. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were utilized to assess the expression of TGF-ß mRNA and protein in the aorta. The expression of CD4+T lymphocytes, macrophages and smooth muscle cells in the aortic root were detected by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS: HXF reduced plaque area in ApoE-/- mice (P<0.01). HXF increased the Treg counts in the lymph nodes and spleen cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Moreover, HXF alleviated inflammatory response via elevating IL-10 and TGF-ß 1 serum levels (P<0.05), while decreasing the IL-6 serum levels in ApoE-/- mice (P>0.05). Also, HXF upregulated the expression of TGF-ß mRNA and protein in the aorta (P<0.05). Additionally, HXF attenuated CD4+T lymphocytes, macrophages and smooth muscle cells in aortic root plaque (P<0.01). Furthermore, the depletion of Tregs with CD25 antibody (PC61) curtailed the reduction in plaque area and aortic root fibrosis by HXF (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: HXF relieved atherosclerosis, probably by restraining inflammatory response, reducing inflammatory cell infiltration and attenuating aortic root fibrosis by increasing Treg counts.

ABSTRACT
Acinic cell carcinoma of the breast is an extremely rare tumor. To the best of our knowledge, only one case is reported to have bilateral tumors and had both BRCA1 and TP53 mutation. Herein, we report another case of acinic cell carcinoma of the breast in a 29-years-old female carrying germline BRCA1 and TP53 mutation, and the tumor showed a complex combination of histological features which had not only the reported common features such as diffuse infiltrative small acinar or glandular structures mixed with solid nests, but also the uncommon widespread clear cells, high grade tumor cells. The immunohistochemical profile of the tumor cells was strongly positive for lysozyme and triple negative for ER, PR, HER2. Although she had bilateral high grade breast cancers, this patient refused postoperative adjuvant therapy this time and has been doing well in the past 12 months. As a rare form of triple-negative breast cancer with a relatively not so bad prognosis, more reports are needed to understand its biological characteristics.

ABSTRACT
The discovery of regulatory cell death has led to new breakthroughs in the field of disease treatment. As a novel discovered regulatory cell death in the past decade, ferroptosis is characterized by abnormal increase of intracellular iron ions and peroxidative damage of cell membrane lipids, morphological features of mitochondrial volume reduction, increased mitochondrial membrane density, as well as mitochondria decrease or disappear. The mechanism of ferroptosis is mainly associated with factors such as iron metabolism disorder, lipid metabolism abnormality, amino acid antioxidant system imbalance and oxidative stress. Since the liver is the main organ of human body for storing iron ions, it is necessary to deeply investigate the mechanism of ferroptosis in liver diseases. Relevant studies have shown that ferroptosis plays different roles in various liver diseases and is closely related to the process of liver diseases, including drug-induced liver injury, alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, viral hepatitis, liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this review is to link ferroptosis and liver diseases, concentrating on the iron metabolism disorder, accumulation of lipid peroxides in cell membranes, imbalance of amino acid antioxidant system, hyperpolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential and its accumulation of lipid peroxides, oxidative stress-related transcription factors and other aspects. This review summarizes the regulatory mechanism, current situation and the roles of ferroptosis in liver diseases, in order to provide a new theoretical basis and ideas for the in-depth study of ferroptosis and the treatment of liver diseases.
ABSTRACT
Inflammation and immune disorders are integral to the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis (AS). With the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in immune regulation attracting attention, it has been widely accepted that Treg decrease and dysfunction are involved in AS pathogenesis. Chinese medicine (CM) has the advantages of being dual-directional, multi-targeted, and having minimal side effects in immune regulation. The anti-atherosclerosis effects of CM via Treg modulation have been revealed in clinical and animal studies. Therefore, this article reviews existing research on Tregs, the relationship between Tregs and AS, and the progress of CM for treating and prevention of atherosclerotic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases by regulating Tregs. Although the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated, CM treatment targeting Treg cells might provide a promising and novel future approach for prevention and treatment of AS.

BACKGROUND: Rotating night shift work contributes to the development of metabolic syndrome and relevant diseases. However, the contribution of different aspects of rotating night shift is rarely studied. AIM: This study investigated the association of frequency and duration of rotating night shift with metabolic parameters. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in nurses. Socio-demographic characteristics, duration and frequency of rotating night shifts, and metabolic parameters including body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood pressure (BP), triglyceride, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), were collected. Sleep quality and perceived stress were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) respectively. Ratio of rotating night shift years to age (RRSYA) was calculated to present cumulative effect. Metabolic parameters were log-transformed and z-transformed in sequence. Multiple linear regressions were applied to explore the effect of frequency and RRSYA on metabolic parameters. Mediation analysis was used to estimate potential mediating effect of sleep quality and perceived stress. RESULTS: Frequency of rotating night shift work was significantly associated with elevated FBG and BMI, and decreased LDL-C. RRSYA was significantly associated with higher BMI, TC, LDL-C, BP and FBG. Sleep quality exhibited significant mediating effect between rotating night shift features and FBG and BMI. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that frequency and RRSYA are associated with metabolic profile alterations, but the effects are different. Sleep quality appears to be an important mediator of the night shift's metabolic effect. Proper shift arrangement and sleep quality assurance may reduce the negative metabolic changes.

The total effective rate of the observation group was 83.7%, which was significantly higher than 59.5% of the control group ( P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in both groups. Conclusions:Hot-wet compression with Xiaohua ointment is effective and safe for patients with acne mastitis in mass stage, and could improve their inflammation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of multi-modal neuroendoscopy combined with microscopy in the treatment of solid cystic brain tumors. Methods Fifty patients with cystic solid tumors admitted to Wuzhou Worker′s Hospital(the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University) from February 2016 to February 2019 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method. The patients in control group (25 cases) received microsurgery, and the patients in observation group (25 cases) received microsurgery combined with neuroendoscopy. All patients underwent CT or MRI. The differences in tumor resection rate between the two groups were observed and compared. The postoperative complications and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores were compared between the two groups. All patients were followed up for 12 months after surgery. The tumor recurrence rate and mortality rate of the two groups were compared. Results The total resection rate of the tumor in observation group was 80.00%(20/25), and in control group was 48.00%(12/25), and there was significant difference (P<0.05). The postoperative GOS score of observation group was higher than that of control group: (4.52 ± 1.73) scores vs. (3.65 ± 1.15) scores, t=2.094, P=0.041. The incidence of postoperative complications, tumor recurrence rate and the mortality rate between two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Multi-modal neuroendoscopy combined with microscopy can significantly improve the total resection rate of cystic brain tumors and improve the prognosis without increasing the risk of surgery.
ABSTRACT
The infrared image sequence contains both the rotational background and a moving target, causing great difficulties in target detection and the occurrence of massive false alarm rates. This paper proposes an improved method using an optical flow field, which can estimate and compensate for the rotational motion background, thus detecting a small moving target. First of all, we select the Shi-Tomasi angular points for image detection and represent the background rotation with the sparse optical flow field of a complete image. Then we use the least squares method to estimate the parameters of the perspective model of background rotation so as to reconstruct the background motion vector field and compensate for background rotation. Finally we detect the small moving target with the differential method and the morphological treatment. The experimental results verify that this method can accurately detect a small moving target against the violently rotational background and provide an idea for the target interception algorithm under the condition that an infrared imaging seeker is overlooking.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To investigate the pathological damage caused by aquaporin-4 antibody extracted from patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders(NMOSD)and the influence of systemic immune status on the local disease focus.[Methods]The C57BL/6 mice were chose for establishing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).During the peak at onset,serum-derived immunoglobulin G(IgG)from aquaporin-4(AQP4)IgG positive patients and healthy human complement(hC)were injected in the brain parenchyma(EAE+AQP4-IgG+hC group,n=5).The EAE induced mice injected with normal saline(EAE+NS group,n=5)and mice without EAE injected with AQP4-IgG and hC from healthy volunteers(AQP4-IgG + hC group,n=5)were served as control groups. The dramatic loss of AQP4,astrocyte glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),oligodendrocyte myelin basic protein(MBP)and the infiltration of inflammatory cells(T lymphocytes,neutrophils and macrophages)were compared with each group by using immunoflu-orescence,in order to find abnormal changes.[Results]Intracerebral injection of AQP4-IgG together with hC can cause NMO-like lesions,including astrocyte injury,demyelination and inflammatory cell infiltration.However,EAE mice model with intracerebral injection of AQP4-IgG and hC represented more significant loss of AQP4 and GFAP(P=0.008 and P=0.016,respectively)compared with mice without EAE induced.The area of MBP loss was also increased,while there′s no statistical difference.No statistical difference was also found in the number of vessels infiltrated with CD3+T cell,neu-trophils and the area infiltrated with macrophage. Astrocyte proliferation existed in all groups,but no loss of AQP4, GFAP and MBP was found in EAE mice injected with NS.[Conclusion]Intracerebral injection of AQP4-IgG and hC can cause distinct pathological damage and the pathology can be promoted by immune system activated by EAE.Intracerebral injection of AQP4-IgG and hC can mimic the pathogenesis of NMOSD better in EAE mice model.
