ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore the effects of different nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratios on the yield and nutritional quality of greenhouse tomatoes under a water and fertilizer integration model. Greenhouse tomatoes were used as the research object, and the "3414" fertilizer trial design was employed to assess tomato growth, yield, quality, and soil indicators across various treatment combinations. The goal was to determine the optimal fertilization scheme and recommend appropriate fertilizer quantities for tomato cultivation and production. The results revealed that different fertilizer ratios significantly affected both the quality and yield of tomatoes. Overall, the tomato yield tended to increase with higher fertilization amounts, with potassium exhibiting the most pronounced effect on yield increase, followed by phosphorus and nitrogen. The comprehensive analysis of principal components indicated that the N2P2K1 treatment yielded the highest nutritional quality and yield. Therefore, the best fertilization combination identified in this study consisted of nitrogen fertilizer at 197.28 kg hm-2, phosphorus fertilizer at 88.75 kg hm-2, and potassium fertilizer at 229.80 kg hm-2. These findings provided the scientific basis for optimizing fertilization practices in greenhouse tomato cultivation and production in the Jilin Province.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Aerobic exercise (AE) interventions are beginning to be used as an emerging adjunctive treatment modality in the treatment of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, to date, there is no substantial evidence to support the improved effects of aerobic exercise intervention in children with ADHD aged 6-12 years. This study aims to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise therapy on executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder aged 6-12 years. Method: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using PubMed and Web of Science. The cut-off date was June 1, 2023. The aim was to assess the impact of aerobic exercise interventions on children with ADHD and all randomized controlled trials eligible for aerobic exercise interventions for children with ADHD were included. Nine randomized controlled trials were screened for eligibility for systematic evaluation, and the nine studies were assessed for risk of bias using the PEDro score and the GRADE Quality of Evidence Evaluation System for quality grading of outcome indicators. After testing for heterogeneity, a random-effects model was selected for analysis. Finally, meta-analyses and regression analyses were performed on the core functions (inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory) and subgroups of the nine studies on executive function using Revman 5.4 and Stata 16.0. Results: The risk of bias evaluation showed a mean PEDro score of 7.78, and of the nine studies, two were rated as having excellent methodological quality, while the remaining seven had a good level of evidence, and the GRADE evidence evaluation showed that the outcome indicators were all of moderate quality. Inhibitory control [SMD = 0.83,95% CI (0.37-1.29), Z = 3.51, p = 0.0005], cognitive flexibility [SMD = 0.65,95% CI (0.37-0.93), Z = 4.58, p < 0.00001], and working memory [SMD = 0.48,95% CI (0.02-0.95), Z = 2.03, p = 0.04] were statistically significant, with effect sizes of moderate or higher; furthermore, in subgroup analyses type of intervention, duration, intensity, and medication use had different effects on inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, and the combined IC, CF statistic found that a single category of aerobic exercise ( ß = 0.867, p < 0.001), moderate intensity ( ß = 0.928, p < 0.001), 6-12 weeks (ß = 0.804, p < 0.001), 60-90 min ( ß = 0.894, p < 0.001), and the use of medication ( ß = 1.202, p = 0.002) were better for overall improvement in EF. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise therapy significantly improved executive functioning in children with ADHD, showing above moderate effect sizes especially in inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Aerobic exercise therapy can be used as a reference in improving executive function in children with ADHD, but given the limitations of this study, it should be used with caution when applied in clinical settings.

ABSTRACT

Due to the complexity of regulatory networks of disease-related biomarkers, developing simple, sensitive, and accurate methods has remained challenging for precise diagnosis. Herein, an "AND" logic gates DNA molecular machine (LGDM) was constructed, which was powered by the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA). It was coupled with dual-emission CdTe quantum dots (QDs)-based cation exchange reaction (CER) for label-free, sensitive, and ratiometric fluorescence detection of APE1 and miRNA biomarkers. Benefiting from synergistic signal amplification strategies and a ratiometric fluorometric output mode, this LGDM enables accurate logic computing with robust and significant output signals from weak inputs. It offers improved sensitivity and selectivity even in cell extracts. Using dual-emission spectra CdTe QDs, with a ratiometric signal output mode, ensured good stability and effectively prevented false-positive signals from intrinsic biological interferences compared to the approach relying on a single signal output mode, which enabled the LGDM to achieve rapid, efficient, and accurate natural drug screening against APE1 inhibitors in vitro and cells. The developed method provides impetus to streamline research related to miRNA and APE1, offering significant promise for widespread application in drug development and clinical analysis.

ABSTRACT

Abnormal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein plays a pivotal role in a collection of neurodegenerative diseases named tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have recently conceptualized the design of hetero-bifunctional chimeras for selectively promoting the proximity between tau and phosphatase, thus specifically facilitating tau dephosphorylation and removal. Here, we sought to optimize the construction of tau dephosphorylating-targeting chimera (DEPTAC) and obtained a new chimera D14, which had high efficiency in reducing tau phosphorylation both in cell and tauopathy mouse models, while showing limited cytotoxicity. Moreover, D14 ameliorated neurodegeneration in primary cultured hippocampal neurons treated with toxic tau-K18 fragments, and improved cognitive functions of tauopathy mice. These results suggested D14 as a cost-effective drug candidate for the treatment of tauopathies.

ABSTRACT

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a tumour characterized by high tumour heterogeneity. Although there are numerous prognostic and immunotherapeutic options available for LUAD, there is a dearth of precise, individualized treatment plans. We integrated mRNA, lncRNA, microRNA, methylation and mutation data from the TCGA database for LUAD. Utilizing ten clustering algorithms, we identified stable multi-omics consensus clusters (MOCs). These data were then amalgamated with ten machine learning approaches to develop a robust model capable of reliably identifying patient prognosis and predicting immunotherapy outcomes. Through ten clustering algorithms, two prognostically relevant MOCs were identified, with MOC2 showing more favourable outcomes. We subsequently constructed a MOCs-associated machine learning model (MOCM) based on eight MOCs-specific hub genes. Patients characterized by a lower MOCM score exhibited better overall survival and responses to immunotherapy. These findings were consistent across multiple datasets, and compared to many previously published LUAD biomarkers, our MOCM score demonstrated superior predictive performance. Notably, the low MOCM group was more inclined towards 'hot' tumours, characterized by higher levels of immune cell infiltration. Intriguingly, a significant positive correlation between GJB3 and the MOCM score (R = 0.77, p < 0.01) was discovered. Further experiments confirmed that GJB3 significantly enhances LUAD proliferation, invasion and migration, indicating its potential as a key target for LUAD treatment. Our developed MOCM score accurately predicts the prognosis of LUAD patients and identifies potential beneficiaries of immunotherapy, offering broad clinical applicability.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, porcine diarrhea-associated viruses have caused significant economic losses globally. These viruses present similar clinical symptoms, such as watery diarrhea, dehydration, and vomiting. Co-infections with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) are common. For the rapid and on-site preliminary diagnosis on the pig farms, this study aimed to develop a colloidal gold immunochromatography assay (GICA) strip for the detection of PEDV and TGEV simultaneously. The GICA kit showed that there was no cross-reactivity with the other five common porcine viruses. With visual observation, the lower limits were approximately 104 TCID50/mL and 104 TCID50/mL for PEDV and TGEV, respectively. The GICA strip could be stored at 4°C or 25°C for 12 months without affecting its efficacy. To validate the GICA strip, 121 clinical samples were tested. The positive rates of PEDV and TGEV were 42.9 and 9.9%, respectively, and the co-infection rate of the two viruses was 5.8% based on the duplex GICA strip. Thus, the established GICA strip is a rapid, specific, and stable tool for on-site preliminary diagnosis of PEDV- and TGEV-associated diarrhea.

ABSTRACT

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil on postoperative analgesia in developmental hip dislocation in children after Salter osteotomy. Methods: The clinical data of 98 children with developmental hip dislocation, who underwent Salter osteotomy in our center between January 2020 and February 2023, were selected. The children were randomly divided into four groups based on the application of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (sufentanil + granisetron ± dexmedetomidine). All children received 1 µg/kg/day of sufentanil and 3 mg of granisetron. Group A did not receive dexmedetomidine, and Groups B, C, and D received 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 µg/kg/day of dexmedetomidine, respectively. The pain indicators and immune factor levels of children in each group were compared. Results: The heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) 2 h after operation in Groups C and D were significantly lower than those in Groups A and B (P < 0.05). The pain scores decreased over time after treatment in all groups. When compared at the same time point, children in Group D had the lowest pain scores, which were significantly lower than the other three groups (P < 0.05). The total consumption of sufentanil in Groups C and D was significantly lower than that in Group A (P < 0.05). On the first day after surgery, the children in Group D had lower levels of serum adrenocorticotropic hormone, interleukin-6, and corticosterone than those in Group A (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Administration of 1.0 µg/kg/day of dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil in intravenous controlled analgesia after Salter osteotomy for developmental hip dislocation in children has a better analgesic effect, less consumption of sufentanil, and low incidence of opioid adverse reactions.

ABSTRACT

Fifteen betulonic/betulinic acid conjugated with nucleoside derivatives were synthesized to enhance antitumor potency and water solubility. Among these, the methylated betulonic acid-azidothymidine compound (8c) exhibited a broad-spectrum of antitumor activity against three tested tumor cell lines, including SMMC-7721 (IC50 = 5.02 µM), KYSE-150 (IC50 = 5.68 µM), and SW620 (IC50 = 4.61 µM) and along with lower toxicity (TC50 > 100 µM) estimated by zebrafish embryos assay. Compared to betulinic acid (<0.05 µg/mL), compound 8c showed approximately 40-fold higher water solubility (1.98 µg/mL). In SMMC-7721 cells, compound 8c induced autophagy and apoptosis as its concentration increased. Transcriptomic sequencing analysis was used to understand the potential impacts of the underlying mechanism of 8c on SMMC-7721 cells. Transcriptomic studies indicated that compound 8c could activate autophagy by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT pathway in SMMC-7721 cells. Furthermore, in the xenograft mice study, compound 8c significantly slowed down the tumor growth, as potent as paclitaxel treated group. In conclusion, methylated betulonic acid-azidothymidine compound (8c) not only increases water solubility, but also enhances the potency against hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inducing autophagy and apoptosis, and suppressing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

The hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in early development and growth of most vertebrates. Sonic hedgehog (shh) gene is a critical regulator of embryonic development in many species, including humans. However, it is not clear what roles shh can play in the development of fish. In this paper, shh gene was cloned from Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae. The full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of P. yokohamae sonic hedgehog gene (Pyshh) comprises 3194 bp, with a 1317-bp open reading frame (ORF) that encodes a polypeptide of 438 amino acids with a typical HH-signal domain and Hint-N domain. The conserved sequences of the protein among species were predicted by using multiple sequence comparison. The phylogenetic tree construction showed that PySHH is clustered in a branch of Pleuronectidae. To explore the expression of Pyshh gene in various tissues of P. yokohamae, we used real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology to detect it. The results showed that Pyshh gene is widely distributed in various tissues of P. yokohamae juveniles, different tissues of adult males and females, and is particularly expressed in immune organs. The Pyshh gene expression was higher in the muscle and brain of juvenile fish, and higher in bone, gill, and skin of male fish than that of female fish, suggesting that Pyshh might be involved in the formation of immune organs of P. yokohamae. The expression of Pyshh gene significantly upregulated from the gastrula stage to the hatching stage. Western blotting of the expression levels of PySHH during different embryonic development stages revealed that PySHH levels increased gradually during development stages from oosperm stage to hatching stage. These results indicate that Pyshh is highly conserved among species and plays a critical role in the complex process of embryonic development. Its precise regulation is essential for the proper formation of many organs and tissues in the body, and disruptions in its function may have serious consequences for the formation of immune organs in fish.

ABSTRACT

Chirality is a fundamental property of nature. Separation and analysis of racemates are of great importance in the fields of medicine and the production of chiral biopharmaceutical intermediates. Chiral chromatography has the characteristics of a wide separation range, fast separation speed, and high efficiency. The development and preparation of novel chiral stationary phases with good chiral recognition and separation capacity is the core and key of chiral chromatographic separation and analysis. In this work, the representative research progress of novel chiral porous crystal materials including chiral covalent organic frameworks, chiral porous organic cages, chiral metal-organic frameworks, and chiral metal-organic cages used as chiral stationary phases of capillary gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography over the last 4 years is reviewed in detail. The chiral recognition and separation properties of the representative studies in this review are also introduced and discussed.

ABSTRACT

Sleep disturbance in adolescents is a significant global public health issue that can result in various physical and mental disorders. Height and weight dissatisfaction, as subjective perceptions of body shape, are common in adolescence and may affect individuals' sleep situations. However, the association of them is unclear. This study aimed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations among height dissatisfaction, weight dissatisfaction, body mass index (BMI), and sleep disturbance in adolescents. A total of 27,260 participants completed measures of sleep disturbance, height and weight satisfaction, and BMI. The cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of height satisfaction, weight satisfaction, and BMI as well as their changes in sleep disturbance over time were tested. Height satisfaction (ps < 0.001) and weight satisfaction (ps < 0.001) were negatively associated with concurrent sleep disturbance after adjusting for socio-demographic covariates and previous sleep disturbance. Height satisfaction (ps < 0.001) and weight satisfaction (ps < 0.001) at T1 as well as their increases (ps < 0.001) over 6 months predicted decreases in sleep disturbance over time. The cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between BMI and sleep disturbance were not significant (ps > 0.42). Moreover, height dissatisfaction (ORs = 1.06 to 1.34) and weight dissatisfaction (ORs = 1.21 to 1.36) were risk factors for concurrent and long-term sleep disturbance while adjusting socio-demographic covariates and previous sleep disturbance. Greater attention to subjective perception of height satisfaction and weight satisfaction, instead of BMI is needed.

ABSTRACT

We investigated the impact of antiviral treatment on the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 resistance during persistent infections in immunocompromised patients (n=15). All patients received remdesivir and some also received nirmatrelvir-ritonavir or monoclonal antibodies. Sequence analysis showed that nine patients carried viruses with mutations in the nsp12 (RNA dependent RNA polymerase), while four had viruses with nsp5 (3C protease) mutations. Infectious SARS-CoV-2 with a double mutation in nsp5 (T169I) and nsp12 (V792I) was recovered from respiratory secretions 77 days after initial COVID-19 diagnosis from a patient treated with remdesivir and nirmatrelvir-ritonavir. In vitro characterization confirmed its decreased sensitivity to remdesivir and nirmatrelvir, which was overcome by combined antiviral treatment. Studies in golden Syrian hamsters demonstrated efficient transmission to contact animals. This study documents the isolation of SARS-CoV-2 carrying resistance mutations to both nirmatrelvir and remdesivir from a patient and demonstrates its transmissibility in vivo.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To identify longitudinal metabolomic fingerprints of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and evaluate their utility in predicting DR development and progression. DESIGN: Multicenter, multi-ethnic cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: This study included 17,675 participants with baseline pre-diabetes/diabetes, in accordance with the 2021 American Diabetes Association guideline, and free of baseline DR from the UK Biobank (UKB); and an additional 638 diabetic participants from the Guangzhou Diabetic Eye Study (GDES) for external validation. METHODS: Longitudinal DR metabolomic fingerprints were identified through nuclear magnetic resonance assay in UKB participants. The predictive value of these fingerprints for predicting DR development were assessed in a fully withheld test set. External validation and extrapolation analyses of DR progression and microvascular damage were conducted in the GDES cohort. Model assessments included the C-statistic, net classification improvement (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), calibration, and clinical utility in both cohorts. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: DR development, progression, and retinal microvascular damage. RESULTS: Of 168 metabolites, 118 were identified as candidate metabolomic fingerprints for future DR development. These fingerprints significantly improved the predictability for DR development beyond traditional indicators (C-statistic: 0.802, 95% CI, 0.760-0.843 vs. 0.751, 95% CI, 0.706-0.796; P = 5.56×10-4). Glucose, lactate, and citrate were among the fingerprints validated in the GDES cohort. Using these parsimonious and replicable fingerprints yielded similar improvements for predicting DR development (C-statistic: 0.807, 95% CI, 0.711-0.903 vs. 0.617, 95% CI, 0.494, 0.740; P = 1.68×10-4) and progression (C-statistic: 0.797, 95% CI, 0.712-0.882 vs. 0.665, 95% CI, 0.545-0.784; P = 0.003) in the external cohort. Improvements in NRIs, IDIs, and clinical utility were also evident in both cohorts (all P <0.05). In addition, lactate and citrate were associated to microvascular damage across macular and optic disc regions (all P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Metabolomic profiling has proven effective in identifying robust fingerprints for predicting future DR development and progression, providing novel insights into the early and advanced stages of DR pathophysiology.

ABSTRACT

Nonaqueous organic aluminum batteries are considered as promising high-safety energy storage devices due to stable ionic liquid electrolytes and Al metals. However, the stability and capacity of organic positive electrodes are limited by their inherent high solubility and low active organic molecules. To address such issues, here porphyrin compounds with rigid molecular structures present stable and reversible capability in electrochemically storing AlCl2+. Comparison between the porphyrin molecules with electron-donating groups (TPP-EDG) and with electron-withdrawing groups (TPP-EWG) suggests that EDG is responsible for increasing both HOMO and LUMO energy levels, resulting in decreased redox potentials. On the other hand, EWG is associated with decreasing both HOMO and LUMO energy levels, leading to promoted redox potentials. EDG and EWG play critical roles in regulating electron density of porphyrin π bond and electrochemical energy storage kinetics behavior. The competitive mechanism between electrochemical redox reaction and de/adsorption processes suggests that TPP-OCH3 delivers the highest specific capacity ~171.8 mAh g-1, approaching a record in the organic Al batteries.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Postpartum urinary retention is one of the most common complications in women during the immediate postpartum period. The objective was to systematically assess risk factors for postpartum urinary retention after vaginal delivery. METHODS: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, we retrieved relevant studies from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, China National Knowledge Internet, Wangfang Database, and Chinese Biomedical Database for observational studies investigating the risk factors for postpartum urinary retention from inception to 11 November 2022. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Joanna Briggs Institute's tool were used to assess the risk of bias. We conducted a meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3. RESULTS: In total, 3,074 articles were screened and data from 27 studies were used in the meta-analysis. Sixteen risk factors were identified, namely, labor augmentation (OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.17-2.51), primiparity (OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.64-3.38), manual fundal pressure (OR = 2.84, 95% CI = 1.00-8.11), perineal hematoma (OR = 7.28, 95% CI = 1.62-32.72), vulvar edema (OR = 7.99, 95% CI = 5.50-11.63), the total duration of labor (MD = 90.10, 95% CI = 49.11-131.08), the duration of the first stage of labor (MD = 33.97, 95% CI = 10.28-57.65), the duration of the second stage of labor (MD = 14.92, 95% CI = 11.79-18.05), the duration of the second stage of labor > 60 min (OR = 3.18, 95% CI = 1.32-7.67), mediolateral episiotomy (OR = 3.65, 95% CI = 1.70-7.83), severe perineal tear (OR = 3.21, 95% CI = 1.84-5.61), epidural analgesia (OR = 3.23, 95% CI = 1.50-6.96), forceps delivery (OR = 4.95, 95% CI = 2.88-8.51), vacuum delivery (OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.30-4.58), neonatal birth weight > 4,000 g (OR = 3.61, 95% CI = 1.96-6.65), and neonatal birth weight > 3,500 g (OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.12-3.19). CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that labor augmentation, primiparity, manual fundal pressure, perineal hematoma, vulvar edema, the total duration of labor, the duration of the first stage of labor, the duration of the second stage of labor, the duration of the second stage of labor > 60 min, mediolateral episiotomy, severe perineal tear, epidural analgesia, forceps delivery, vacuum delivery, and neonatal birth weight > 4,000 g and > 3,500 g were risk factors for postpartum urinary retention in women with vaginal delivery. The specific ranges of the first and the second stages of labor causing postpartum urinary retention need to be clarified.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Monogenic lupus is defined as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/SLE-like patients with either dominantly or recessively inherited pathogenic variants in a single gene with high penetrance. However, because the clinical phenotype of monogenic SLE is extensive and overlaps with that of classical SLE, it causes a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Currently, there is a lack of early identification models for clinical practitioners to provide early clues for recognition. Our goal was to create a clinical model for the early identification of pediatric monogenic lupus, thereby facilitating early and precise diagnosis and treatment for patients. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study consisted of 41 cases of monogenic lupus treated at the Department of Pediatrics at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from June 2012 to December 2022. The control group consisted of classical SLE patients recruited at a 1:2 ratio. Patients were randomly divided into a training group and a validation group at a 7:3 ratio. A logistic regression model was established based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator to generate the coefficient plot. The predictive ability of the model was evaluated using receiver operator characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC) index. RESULTS: A total of 41 cases of monogenic lupus patients and 82 cases of classical SLE patients were included. Among the monogenic lupus cases (with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.05 and ages of onset ranging from birth to 15 years), a total of 18 gene mutations were identified. The variables included in the coefficient plot were age of onset, recurrent infections, intracranial calcifications, growth and developmental delay, abnormal muscle tone, lymphadenopathy/hepatosplenomegaly, and chilblain-like skin rash. Our model demonstrated satisfactory diagnostic performance through internal validation, with an AUC value of 0.97 (95% confidence interval = 0.92-0.97). CONCLUSIONS: We summarized and analyzed the clinical characteristics of pediatric monogenic lupus and developed a predictive model for early identification by clinicians. Clinicians should exercise high vigilance for monogenic lupus when the score exceeds - 9.032299.
