RESUMEN

Diabetes mellitus(DM)is a common metabolic disease,and its hyperglycemia can induce many complications and even threaten human health and life.Ferritinophagy,currently a research focus,has been proven to be related to the occurrence and development of DM and its complications.Ferritinophagy,which is cell-selective,is mediated by nuclear receptor coactivator 4(NCOA4),which degrades ferritin in autophagosomes and releases excessive iron ions so that irons are overloaded and ROS are accumulated.This process contributes to the upstream ferroptosis.This article reviews the mechanism of ferritinophagy and its pathogenesis in DM and its complications,and further analyzes the effects of regulated ferritinophagy on DM and its complications,pro-viding new insight into the prevention and treatment of DM and its complications.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND:Autophagy and ferroptosis play important roles in the development of chronic kidney disease,but the molecular mechanisms and gene targets related to autophagy and ferroptosis in renal tissue of chronic kidney disease are still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To screen differentially expressed genes in chronic kidney disease-related datasets based on bioinformatics,and to explore potential key biomarkers suitable for screening renal function progression in patients with chronic kidney disease. METHODS:(1)The GSE137570 dataset was obtained from GEO database to screen the differentially expressed genes by Networkanalyst database analysis.Ferroptosis and autophagy related targets were obtained by OMIM,GENECARD,FerrDb and HAMdb databases.The respective data were intersected to obtain autophagy-ferroptosis related differentially expressed genes in chronic kidney disease for parallel enrichment analysis.The STRING website was used to construct the protein-protein interaction network of differentially expressed genes,which was imported into Cytoscape software and analyzed by MCODE and Cytohubba plug-in to screen potential core targets.Enrichment analysis was performed to obtain the functions of these potential core targets.(2)In the in vitro experiment,mouse renal tubular epithelial cells were divided into two groups:the control group received no intervention,while the model group was stimulated with 5 ng/mL transforming growth factor β1 for 24 hours to induce mesenchymal transformation of renal tubular epithelial cells.Flow cytometry was used to measure the levels of reactive oxygen species and changes in mitochondrial membrane potential in the cells.RT-PCR was employed to assess ferroptosis,autophagy-related markers,and the mRNA expression of potential core targets in the cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After screening the GSE137570 dataset,a total of 480 differentially expressed genes were obtained,including 104 upregulated genes and 376 downregulated genes(log2|(FC)|>1,P<0.05).There were 562 ferroptosis-related targets and 1 266 autophagy-related targets obtained from the OMIM,GENECARD,FerrDb,and HAMdb databases.Intersection of differentially expressed genes with ferroptosis-and autophagy-related targets yielded 15 ferroptosis-related targets and 18 autophagy-related targets,respectively.The enrichment analysis results indicate that ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes are primarily involved in biological processes such as sulfur amino acid metabolism,neutrophil degranulation,and ferroptosis signaling pathways.Autophagy-related differentially expressed genes are mainly enriched in biological processes such as platelet degranulation,extracellular matrix degradation,and receptor tyrosine kinase signaling.After screened by MCODE and CytoHubba,key genes were identified in the protein-protein interaction network,including CD44,ALB,TIMP1,PLG,CCL2,and DPP4.Immune infiltration analysis results indicate that immune cells such as B cells,CD4+ T cells,NK cells,and monocytes show significant differential expression in renal tissue after chronic kidney disease,and the core targets are also significantly correlated with these immune cells(P<0.05).The results of receiver operator characteristic curve analysis further demonstrate that the pathological progression of chronic kidney disease can be effectively diagnosed by CD44,ALB,TIMP1,PLG,CCL2,and DPP4.Single-cell sequencing results show that,except for PLG,the expression of target genes in the renal tissue of mice in each model group is generally consistent with the results of this experiment.RT-PCR results demonstrate that,for the validation of autophagy and ferroptosis phenotypes,compared with the control group,the model group shows a significant decrease in mRNA expression of LC3B,Nrf2,and SLC7A11(P<0.05),and a significant increase in P62 mRNA expression(P<0.05).Regarding the validation of potential core targets,compared with the control group,the model group exhibits a significant decrease in mRNA expression of ALB and PLG(P<0.05),and a significant increase in TIMP1 and CCL2 mRNA expression(P<0.05).Overall,these findings indicate that,through bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation,CD44,ALB,TIMP1,PLG,and CCL2 are abnormally expressed in the renal tissue of patients with chronic kidney disease,closely correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate and tubulointerstitial fibrosis,and maybe play a predictive role in the progression of chronic kidney disease.

RESUMEN

Cognitive decline is one of the main clinical symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases. There is no specific drug treatment, which seriously affects the quality of life and rehabilitation process of these patients. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technology such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial electrical stimulation known as its advantages of non-invasive, painless, and easy to operate, has been used in clinical treatment of cognitive disorders. In particular, it has a good effect on improving cognitive functions such as memory, attention, orientation and language ability. In recent years, the study of cerebellar involvement in learning and memory through brain-cerebellar circuit has attracted much attention, and cerebellum has become a new target for NIBS technology exploration. However, the correlation between cerebellar NIBS and cognitive function regulation is still unclear. This paper aims to provide the evidences of the anatomic and functional basis of cerebellar involvement in cognitive function regulation and cerebellar non-invasive stimulation on cognitive function regulation.

RESUMEN

Objective:To explore the related factors affecting the prognosis of patients with tardive dyskinesia, in order to find the risk factors of poor prognosis.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was implemented to collect the data of 113 patients with tardive dyskinesia from the movement disorders clinic of the Department of Neurology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital by telephone follow-up. The main variables studied included gender, age, educational level, living environment, job, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, hypertension, diabetes, medication type, interval from taking medicine to dyskinesia, course of dyskinesia and intervention measures. The data were analyzed by the statistical software SPSS 25.0. The quantitative data analysis was done by normality test and descriptive statistics, and the qualitative data analysis was done by χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability test. The variables with P≤0.01 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results:Among the 113 patients, 16 patients (14.16%) were cured, 27 patients (23.89%) had obvious improvement, 25 patients (22.12%) had slight improvement, 26 patients (23.01%) had no obvious change, 15 patients (13.27%) had slight deterioration, and 4 patients (3.54%) had obvious deterioration. The good prognosis rate was 60.18%, and the poor prognosis rate was 39.82%. In single factor analysis, the related factors for poor prognosis included age>52 years (χ 2=15.07, P<0.001), educational level in secondary schools and below (χ 2=8.58, P=0.003), physical labor (χ 2=4.66, P=0.031), hypertension (χ 2 = 16.38, P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (χ 2=6.06, P=0.011), dyskinesia caused by first-generation antipsychotics, calcium channel blocker or flupentixol/melitracen tablets ( P<0.001), and the duration of dyskinesia more than 2 years (χ 2 =7.05, P=0.008). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for poor prognosis of tardive dyskinesia included hypertension ( OR=3.60, 95% CI 1.17-11.05, P=0.025) and dyskinesia caused by first-generation antipsychotics, calcium channel blocker or flupentixol/melitracen tablets ( OR=3.14, 95% CI 1.21-8.16, P=0.019). Conclusions:Most patients with tardive dyskinesia have a good prognosis. Hypertension and dyskinesia caused by first-generation antipsychotics, calcium channel blocker or flupentixol/melitracen tablets are independent risk factors for poor prognosis.

RESUMEN

ObjectiveTo analyze the utilization of outcome indexes and other trial design elements in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Chinese medicine for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and provide a basis for the design of clinical trials and the development of core outcome index sets for Chinese medicine treatment of DKD. MethodSeven medical databases (CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, SinoMed, etc.) and two clinical trial registration centers (clinicaltrials.gov and chinadrugtrials.org.cn) were searched for RCTs of Chinese medicine for DKD published in the past 5 years. The included studies were assessed for risk of bias using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and the outcome indexes and other trial design elements were statistically analyzed. ResultNinety-seven RCTs were enrolled, including five trial registration protocols. The overall risk of bias was found to be high in the included studies. Stage Ⅲ DKD (36 studies, 41.38%) and the Qi-Yin deficiency with blood stasis syndrome (16 studies, 26.23%) were the top DKD stage and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome, respectively. The treatment duration ranged from 2 weeks to 96 weeks, with 12 weeks being the most common duration (52 studies, 56.52%). A total of 152 outcome indexes were used in 92 RCTs and five registered trials, with a frequency of 1 040 times. These indexes were classified into eight categories: Laboratory tests (blood), laboratory tests (urine), clinical efficacy, TCM syndrome score, quality of life scales, vital signs, other indexes, and other events. The most frequently used outcome indexes were serum creatinine (68 times, 70.10%), clinical response rate (55 times, 56.70%), fasting blood glucose (51 times, 52.58%), blood urea nitrogen (48 times, 49.48%), total cholesterol (47 times, 48.45%), and 24-hour urinary protein excretion (43 times, 44.33%). Safety indexes were used in 56 RCTs and two registered trials, with 53 different indexes and a frequency of 227 times. The most frequently used safety indexes were adverse reactions (49 times, 84.48%), liver function (28 times, 48.28%), complete blood count (24 times, 41.38%), electrocardiogram (17 times, 29.31%), and urinalysis (14 times, 24.14%). Ten RCTs and five registered trials reported primary outcome indexes, and 54 RCTs reported clinical response rates. ConclusionThe current design of outcome indexes in RCTs of Chinese medicine for DKD is not standardized. In the future, efforts should be made to develop core outcome index sets that highlight the characteristics of TCM, improve the quality of clinical research, and enhance the applicability of trial results.

RESUMEN

The ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused huge number of human deaths. Currently, there are no specific drugs or vaccines available for this virus. The viral polymerase is a promising antiviral target. However, the structure of COVID-19 virus polymerase is yet unknown. Here, we describe the near-atomic resolution structure of its core polymerase complex, consisting of nsp12 catalytic subunit and nsp7-nsp8 cofactors. This structure highly resembles the counterpart of SARS-CoV with conserved motifs for all viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, and suggests the mechanism for activation by cofactors. Biochemical studies revealed reduced activity of the core polymerase complex and lower thermostability of individual subunits of COVID-19 virus as compared to that of SARS-CoV. These findings provide important insights into RNA synthesis by coronavirus polymerase and indicate a well adaptation of COVID-19 virus towards humans with relatively lower body temperatures than the natural bat hosts.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate whether the combination of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) with hemoperfusion (HP) could improve the left ventricular structure and function of MHD patients with resistant hypertension. Methods This study was a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. 65 MHD patients with resistant hypertension of our hospital were enrolled and then randomly divided into Group HD+HP and Group HD. The follow-up study was 12 months. The major outcome measures were related to the cardiac structure and function, and the serum inflammatory factors. Results No statistical differences of related factors such as blood pressure and cardiac function was observed in HD group. The serum concentration of inflammatory factors was higher after one-year HD treatment alone. But the serum concentration of inflammatory related factors , blood pressure, cardiac function and related indexes were lower in HD + HP than in Group HD (P < 0.05);HD + HP group had higher ejection fraction (EF) and SV, which demonstrated the improved cardiac function (P < 0.05). Conclusions HD + HP was superior to HD in the treatment in alleviating cardiac after-load and improving the left ventricular structure and function of MHD patients with resistance hypertension.
