Indole-3-Carboxaldehyde Inhibits Inflammatory Response and Lipid Accumulation in Macrophages Through the miR-1271-5p/HDAC9 Pathway.

Indole-3-carboxaldehyde (ICA), a microbiota-derived tryptophan metabolite, has been reported to protect against atherosclerosis. However, the molecular mechanisms for its atheroprotective effect remain largely unknown. This study aimed to explore the influence of ICA on lipid accumulation and inflammatory response in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells.

The Role of Wnt5a in Inflammatory Diseases.

Wnt5a plays an important role in cell development and maturation and is closely associated with various diseases, such as malignant tumours, metabolic disorders, fibrosis, growth and development. Recent studies have shown that Wnt5a expression and signal transduction are strongly involved in the inflammatory response. This study comprehensively reviewed the latest research progress on the association between Wnt5a and several inflammatory diseases, such as sepsis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis and psoriasis vulgare.

lncRNA-NEF regulates hepatic stellate cells proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and ECM synthesis through the ERK1/2/c-Fos axis.

In this study, we investigated the role of lncRNA-NEF in modulating hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, a key process in liver fibrosis. Using the GSE78160 dataset, we identified lncRNA-NEF as downregulated in liver cirrhosis patients. Gene Ontology and KEGG analyses implicated it in transcriptional regulation and cell cycle control.

Association between 25(OH) vitamin D and multiple sclerosis: cohort, shared genetics, and Causality.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disorder causing demyelination and neurological damage, has been linked to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels, suggesting its role in immune response and MS onset. This study used GWAS datasets to investigate genetic associations between 25OHD and MS.

Methods: We utilized a large-scale prospective cohort to evaluate serum 25OHD levels and MS risk.

A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2024, involving 20 patients [11 males and 9 females, aged (36.8±11.

Dual-Isometric Projected Entangled Pair States.

Efficient characterization of higher dimensional many-body physical states presents significant challenges. In this Letter, we propose a new class of projected entangled pair states (PEPS) that incorporates two isometric conditions. This new class facilitates the efficient calculation of general local observables and certain two-point correlation functions, which have been previously shown to be intractable for general PEPS, or PEPS with only a single isometric constraint.

Phase I Clinical Study of a Multi-Kinase Inhibitor TG02 Capsule for the Treatment of Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas with Failed Temozolomide Treatment in Chinese Patients.

Introduction: We report the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of a multi-kinase inhibitor (TG02 capsule) as a new therapy for patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas in China.

Methods: This is a single-center, dose-escalation, open-label phase I study, which enrolled patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas who failed to temozolomide. Patients were assigned sequentially into different dose groups and received TG02 every 4 weeks.

:c.96-2A > G mutation: report of 7 cases in China.

Objective: To analyze the hematological phenotype and genotype of : c.96-2A > G carriers.

Methods: The blood routine parameters and hemoglobin electrophoresis of rare cases were analyzed and identified by PCR combined with reverse dot blot (RBD-PCR), GAP-PCR and DNA sequencing.

Ultrafast dynamics evidence of strong coupling superconductivity in LaH.

Recently, tremendous research interest has been aroused in clathrate superhydrides. However, their microscopic properties, especially the superconducting (SC) gap and electron-phonon coupling (EPC) strength, are largely unexplored experimentally. Here, we investigate the time-resolved ultrafast spectroscopy of a superconductor LaH under an ultrahigh pressure of 165 GPa.

Phenotypic Analysis of the : C.95 G > A Mutation in China.

This study aimed to analyze the clinical phenotype of the : c.95G>A mutation in the Chinese population and to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 16 patients, including 6 newborns, 2 children, and 8 adults.

β-Hydroxybutyrate and Citrate Synthase as Potential Diagnostic Biomarkers in Aging-Related Atrial Fibrillation.

The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age; however, the precise mechanisms by which aging elevates AF risk and the effective biomarkers for managing AF in elderly patients remain unclear. We analyzed plasma samples from 100 elderly AF patients, 100 young and 100 elderly patients without atrial fibrillation (NAF), along with left atrial tissues obtained from both AF and NAF patients following valve replacement. Our findings indicate reduced levels of β-OHB and citrate synthase (CS) activity in elderly AF patients compared to their NAF counterparts.

[Spatiotemporal Distributions and Variations in Summertime Ozone Photochemical Production Regimes over Shanxi].

Satellite-based formaldehyde（HCHO）columns and tropospheric nitrogen dioxide columns were observed using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument（OMI），and groundbased observations of ozone（O）for May-August from 2013 to 2022 were connected to calculate the threshold values of the HCHO to NO ratio（FNR）in Shanxi Province. Then，the spatiotemporal distributions and variations in summertime ozone photochemical production regimes were analyzed. The results showed that：① The volatile organic compound（VOC） -sensitive regime area（FNR < 2.

Chemistry-Enabled Intercellular Enzymatic Labeling for Monitoring the Immune Effects of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes .

Monitoring the effector function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) remains a great challenge. Here, we develop a chemistry-enabled enzymatic labeling approach to evaluate the tumor-specific immune response of CTLs by precisely monitoring the interaction between CTLs and tumor cells. sortase A (SrtA) is linked to the CTL surface through bioconjugate chemistry and then catalyzes the transfer of fluorescent-labeled substrate, 5-Tamra-LPETG, to CTLs.

An artificially evolved gene for herbicide-resistant rice breeding.

Discovering and engineering herbicide-resistant genes is a crucial challenge in crop breeding. This study focuses on the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase Inhibitor Sensitive 1-Like (HSL) protein, prevalent in higher plants and exhibiting weak catalytic activity against many β-triketone herbicides (β-THs). The crystal structures of maize HSL1A complexed with β-THs were elucidated, identifying four essential herbicide-binding residues and explaining the weak activity of HSL1A against the herbicides.
