Comprehensive analysis of the metabolomics and transcriptomics uncovers the dysregulated network and potential biomarkers of Triple Negative Breast Cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is known for its aggressive nature, lack of effective diagnostic tools and treatments, and generally poor prognosis. The objective of this study was to investigate metabolic changes in TNBC using metabolomics approaches and explore the underlying mechanisms through integrated analysis with transcriptomics. In this study, serum untargeted metabolic profiles were first examined between 18 TNBC patients and 21 healthy control (HC) subjects using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), identifying a total of 22 significantly differential metabolites (DMs).

Efficacy and safety of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) inhibitors in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH): A protocol for systematic review.

Background: The pathological mechanism of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is closely related to abnormal lipid regulation in hepatocytes. Patients with NASH generally have a significant increase in de novo lipogenesis, which acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the first committed step. However, the treatment with ACC inhibitors remains controversial.

Application and Effectiveness of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in the Construction of Nursing Sensitivity Quality Indicators.

In order to explore the quality management efficiency of applying big data and artificial intelligence in nursing quality index, a method of building a nursing management platform integrating nursing indicators and nursing events is proposed. Based on the investigation of the application demand of nursing information system, the method achieves timely data sharing and transmission through WLAN technology and realizes nursing management monitoring, nursing quality index enquiry, and automatic statistical analysis under the vertical management mode of nursing. The results showed that 77 people (73%) thought the time decreased, 19 people (18%) thought the time was the same, and 9 people (7%) thought the time increased.

The changes in pyroptosis-related inflammatory factors in the peripheral blood of patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura.

Background: Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a common capillary allergic bleeding disease. To explore the variation of pyroptosis-related inflammatory factors level in the peripheral blood of patients with HSP.

Methods: A total of 87 HSP patients treated in our hospital from June 2020 to March 2021 were selected and divided into the renal impairment group (n=29) and the non-renal impairment group (n=58) according to the presence of hematuria and proteinuria.

Optimizing combination of liver-enriched transcription factors and nuclear receptors simultaneously favors ammonia and drug metabolism in liver cells.

The HepG2 cell line is widely used in studying liver diseases because of its immortalization, but its clinical application is limited by its low expression of the urea synthesis key enzymes and cytochromes P450 (CYPs). On the basis of our previous work, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of arginase 1 (Arg1) and ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) in HepG2 cells. We also screened for the optimal combination of liver enrichment transcription factors (LETFs) and xenobiotic nuclear receptors that can promote the expression of key urea synthases and five major CYPs in HepG2 cells.

Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-polyethylene glycol-polyamidoamine dendrimer conjugate improves liver-cell aggregation and function in 3-D spheroid culture.

The polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer, a type of macromolecule material, has been used in spheroidal cell culture and drug delivery in recent years. However, PAMAM is not involved in the study of hepatic cell-spheroid culture or its biological activity, particularly in detoxification function. Here, we constructed a PAMAM-dendrimer conjugate decorated by an integrin ligand: arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide.
