WTAP knockdown inhibits cell migration through regulating SNAIL1 expression in colorectal cancer.

Objective: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most prevalent mRNA modification in carcinogenesis and it plays a crucial role. WTAP, an m6A RNA methyltransferase, is functionally significant in various cancers; however, the specific role and functional mechanism in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain poorly understood.

Method: In this study, we utilized Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) to compare WTAP expression in CRC and normal tissues.

The C3/C3aR pathway exacerbates acetaminophen-induced mouse liver injury via upregulating podoplanin on the macrophage.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the liver sustains severe damage and rapidly loses its function. The primary cause of ALF is the overdose of acetaminophen (APAP), and its treatment is relatively limited. The involvement of the complement system in the development of ALF has been implicated.

Methods: The wild-type and mutant plasmids (PC, PC, PC, PC) of gene were constructed and transiently transfected into HEK293 cells. The expression of mutant proteins in vitro were tested.

Linear elastic iterative method for stability ultimate capacity of equal-leg angle towers.

An efficient linear elastic iterative method is proposed for the stability ultimate capacity of equal-leg angle towers, using an elastic modulus adjustment strategy in this paper. The angle steel stability generalized yield function (GYF) of AS/NZS4600 is selected, on which a precise homogeneous generalized yield function (HGYF) is developed through dimensionless analysis and regression. Based on the HGYF, the element bearing ratio is proposed as a dynamic threshold for distinguishing high-stress and low-stress elements in equal-leg angle elements.

Interactive effects of rhizospheric soil microbes and litter on the growth of the invasive hyperaccumulator in cadmium-contaminated soil.

Both rhizospheric soil microbes and shoot litter input can have profound effects on plant performance; however, their interactive effects on plants in Cd-contaminated soils remain poorly understood. We grew an invasive hyperaccumulator, , in sterilized and unsterilized rhizosphere soil without litter or with a low (0.2%, dry weight ratio) or a high amount (1%) of litter from in soil with low (5 mg kg) or high (10 mg kg) concentrations of Cd.

Cloning the promoter of the sucrose transporter gene PsSUT2 and screening its upstream transcription factors in tree peony.

Sucrose is an essential energy substance for tree peony (Paeonia Suffruticosa) floral organ development. However, little is known about the sucrose regulatory network in tree peony. In this study, the promoter sequence of the tree peony sucrose transporter gene PsSUT2 was cloned.

Neuroticism trait and postnatal depression among Chinese women: the mediating role of childbirth experience and the moderating role of perceived social support.

Background: Despite the link between neuroticism trait and postnatal depression has been confirmed, little is known about the factors that influence this association. This study aimed to examine whether childbirth experience mediated the association between neuroticism trait and postnatal depression, and whether this indirect effect was moderated by perceived social support.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1686 women within one year postpartum from 38 hospitals in China.

Dimethyl fumarate ameliorates chronic graft-versus-host disease by inhibiting Tfh differentiation via Nrf2.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), characterized by chronic tissue inflammation and fibrosis involving multiple organs, remains a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an anti-inflammatory drug approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. We previously reported that DMF effectively inhibits acute GVHD (aGVHD) while preserving the graft-versus-leukemia effect.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Carrying Circ-Tulp4 Attenuate Diabetes Mellitus with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Inhibiting Cell Pyroptosis through the HNRNPC/ABHD6 Axis.

Background: Diabetes mellitus with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (DM-NAFLD) represents a complex metabolic syndrome with significant clinical challenges. This study explores the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in DM-NAFLD.

Methods: UCMSCs-EVs were isolated and characterized.

Effectiveness of smartphone-based music intervention on perinatal depression: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Perinatal depression has become a global public health issue with a high prevalence rate. Multiple studies have confirmed the effectiveness of music intervention. Still, the current form of offline intervention ignores issues such as convenient transportation and the stigma of diseases that pregnant women are concerned about, resulting in poor adherence.

The effect of music intervention on depression in perinatal women: A systematic review.

Objective: Perinatal depression has become a global public health problem, which not only harms the health of mothers and their offspring, but also increases the socio-economic burden, so early intervention is urgent. Music intervention is a low-cost and safe intervention method. This study endeavored to systematically integrate and quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of music intervention for perinatal depression.

Inflammatory and Immune Mechanisms in COPD: Current Status and Therapeutic Prospects.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) currently ranks among the top three causes of mortality worldwide, presenting as a prevalent and complex respiratory ailment. Ongoing research has underscored the pivotal role of immune function in the onset and progression of COPD. The immune response in COPD patients exhibits abnormalities, characterized by diminished anti-infection capacity due to immune senescence, heightened activation of neutrophils and macrophages, T cell infiltration, and aberrant B cell activity, collectively contributing to airway inflammation and lung injury in COPD.

RNAi targeting LMAN1-MCFD2 complex promotes anticoagulation in mice.

Combined deficiency of coagulation factor V (FV) and factor VIII (FVIII) is a rare bleeding disease caused by variants in either lectin mannose binding 1 (LMAN1) or multiple coagulation factor deficiency 2 (MCFD2) gene. Reducing the level of FVIII by inhibiting the LMAN1-MCFD2 complex may become a new anticoagulant approach. We aimed to find a new therapeutic option for anticoagulation by RNA interference (RNAi) targeting LMAN1 and MCFD2.
