Disease spectrum, prevalence, genetic characteristics of inborn errors of metabolism in 21,840 hospitalized infants in Chongqing, China, 2017-2022.

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are uncommon. Although some studies have explored the distribution and characteristics of IEMs in newborns, the impact of these disorders on hospitalized newborns remains unclear. In this study, we gathered data from 21,840 newborn patients admitted for various medical conditions at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2017 and December 2022.

circ-Erbb2ip from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes promotes wound healing in diabetic mice by inducing the miR-670-5p/Nrf1 axis.

Background: To investigate the mechanism of exosomes (Exo) secretion by hypoxic pretreated adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) promoting skin wound healing in diabetic (DM) mice.

Methods: High-throughput sequencing was used to investigate abnormal expression of circRNA in hypoxic pretreatment ADSCs exosome (HExo) and ADSCs exosome (Exo). Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporting analysis were used to clarify the interacted relationship among circRNA, miRNA and mRNA.

Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 overexpression reverses oxLDL-induced lipid accumulation in human vascular smooth muscle cells.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is the major cause of multiple cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the lipid accumulation of human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMCs) can cause the occurrence of AS. Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5) was known to be downregulated in AS; however, the detailed function of Sfrp5 in HVSMCs remains unclear.

Liver injury and prolonged hospitalization as indicators of severity in patients with adenovirus infections.

Background: Adenovirus (ADV) is a prevalent infective virus in children, accounting for around 5-10% of all cases of acute respiratory illnesses and 4-15% of pneumonia cases in children younger than five years old. Without treatment, severe ADV pneumonia could result in fatality rates of over 50% in cases of emerging strains or disseminated disease. This study aims to uncover the relationship of clinical indicators with primary ADV infection severity, regarding duration of hospitalization and liver injury.

Result of a Pilot External Quality Assessment Scheme for Clinical Diagnosis of Inherited Metabolic Disorders in China.

The aim of this study was to explore the function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in patients with BCS as well as associated mechanisms. First, differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) from EVs separated from serum between BCS and healthy controls were screened using microarray analysis.

Rapid Generation of Pulmonary Organoids from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells by Co-Culturing Endodermal and Mesodermal Progenitors for Pulmonary Disease Modelling.

Differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells to a range of target cell types is ubiquitous in monolayer culture. To further improve the phenotype of the cells produced, 3D organoid culture is becoming increasingly prevalent. Mature organoids typically require the involvement of cells from multiple germ layers.

Bryostatin-1 attenuates intestinal ischemia/reperfusion-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress via activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling.

Bryostatin-1 (Bryo-1) exerts antioxidative stress effects in multiple diseases, and we confirmed that it improves intestinal barrier dysfunction in experimental colitis. Nevertheless, there are few reports on its action on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). In this study, we mainly explored the effect of Bryo-1 on intestinal I/R injury and determined the mechanism.

Here, we aim to develop a reliable and high throughput method for rapid detection of β-thalassemia using dried blood spots (DBS).

Methods: Hb components were extracted from a disc (3.

Adipose-derived stem cell-secreted exosomes enhance angiogenesis by promoting macrophage M2 polarization in type 2 diabetic mice with limb ischemia via the JAK/STAT6 pathway.

Diabetic lower limb ischemia is an intractable disease that leads to amputation and even death. Recently, adipose-derived stem cell-secreted exosomes (ADSC-Exo) have been reported as a potential therapeutic approach, but its specific mechanism of action is unknown. Studies have found that exosomes derived from stem cells can reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.

Network Meta-Analysis of All Available Regimens Based on Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty and Laser Atherectomy for Femoropopliteal In-Stent Restenosis.

Purpose: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty and laser atherectomy (LA) have been frequently utilized to treat femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (ISR); however, no studies have concurrently compared available regimens, including DCB, LA+DCB, and LA + plain balloon angioplasty (PB). Therefore, we conducted this network meta-analysis to determine whether there were significant differences in outcomes among these regimens.

Materials And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library to identify all randomized controlled trials comparing DCB or LA-based regimes with POBA or each other for treating femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (ISR) from their inception until March 2021.

MiR-550a-3p restores damaged vascular smooth muscle cells by inhibiting thrombomodulin in an in vitro atherosclerosis model.

Thrombomodulin (TM) is involved in the pathological process of atherosclerosis; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Oxidised low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL; 100 μg/mL) was used to induce human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMCs) into a stable atherosclerotic cell model. The expression levels of miR-550a-3p and TM were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

MiR-130a-5p contributed to the progression of endothelial cell injury by regulating FAS.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the development of vascular diseases. However, the effects of miR-130a-5p and its functional targets on atherosclerosis (AS) are still largely unknown. In this regard, our aim is to explore the potentially important role of miR-130a-5p and its target gene during the progression of endothelial cell injury.

HepaCAM‑PIK3CA axis regulates the reprogramming of glutamine metabolism to inhibit prostate cancer cell proliferation.

Energy metabolism reprogramming is becoming an increasingly important hallmark of cancer. Specifically, cancers tend to undergo metabolic reprogramming to upregulate a cell‑dependent glutamine (Gln) metabolism. Notably, hepatocellular cell adhesion molecule (HepaCAM) has been previously reported to serve a key role as a tumour suppressor.

Treatment of Aortic and Iliac Artery Occlusion by Catheter Thrombolysis Combined with Catheter Thrombectomy and Aortic Bifurcation Endovascular Stent Reconstruction.

Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is an occlusive disease of the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries usually caused by stenosis or occlusion at the end of the abdominal aorta-common iliac artery. Herein, we reported a case of Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus- (TASC-) D AIOD with pale, cool, and intangible dorsalis pedis artery treated with catheter thrombolysis combined with catheter thrombectomy and aortic bifurcation endovascular stent reconstruction, which proved to be safe, effective, and minimally invasive approach.
