Background: The predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in various tumors remains uncertain despite its use in forecasting the effectiveness of immunotherapy. The purpose of our research was to determine the prognostic significance of NLR for immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Methods: We enrolled and monitored patients with NSCLC who received ICI therapy at the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 1, 2018, and February 20, 2021.

A photocatalytic oxo-hydrazination of α-diazoacetates with azobenzenes has been developed. With air as an oxygen source, the reaction proceeded smoothly and afforded previously unknown ,'-diarylhydrazino-containing oxoacetates. Mechanistically, the reaction is enabled by cooperation of photoredox catalysis, energy transfer photocatalysis and direct photoexcitation.

A photocatalytic hydroamidomethylation of azobenzenes with ,-dimethylamides has been developed. Using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT) as a photocatalyst, an array of azobenzenes and ,-dimethylamides reacted smoothly under visible light irradiation, affording previously unreported -amidomethyl-,'-diarylhydrazines in generally high yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction is enabled by TBADT-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalysis.

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on immune, endothelial, and epithelial cells. Its ectodomain can be proteolytically cleaved to release a circulating soluble form called sICAM-1. Clinical studies demonstrate sICAM-1 is upregulated in various diseases and associated with disease severity.

The microRNAs, which are small RNAs of 18-25 nt in length, act as key regulatory factors in posttranscriptional gene expression during plant growth and development. However, little is known about their regulatory roles in response to stressful environments in birch (Betula platyphylla). Here, we characterized and further explored miRNAs from osmotic- and salt-stressed birch.

Based on the importance of chronic inflammation in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and diabetes, the bidirectional relationship between these 2 diseases has been widely confirmed. However, the molecular mechanisms of bidirectional relationship still need to be studied further. In this study, gene expression profile data for diabetes and periodontitis were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins (GRPs) have been implicated in the responses of plants to environmental stresses, but the function of GRP genes involved in salt stress and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. In this study, we identified BpGRP1 (glycine-rich RNA-binding protein), a Betula platyphylla gene that is induced under salt stress. The physiological and molecular responses to salt tolerance were investigated in both BpGRP1-overexpressing and suppressed conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study identifies and classifies 56 basic leucine zipper (bZIP) genes in Betula platyphylla, a significant tree species, into 13 groups, enhancing understanding of stress resistance mechanisms in birch.
  • Promoter analysis of these bZIP genes revealed 108 cis-elements, suggesting duplication events as a key factor in the expansion of this gene family.
  • The research also highlights tissue-specific expression patterns, with many bZIP genes showing high expression in roots and flowers, and identifies five differentially expressed genes linked to low-temperature stress, providing a foundation for further exploration of bZIP gene functions in stress tolerance.

Background: The object of this study was to compare the diagnosis performance of US-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core-needle biopsy (CNB) for patients with thyroid nodules, in aspects of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV).

Materials And Methods: Four hundred seven Chinese patients from July 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively recruited in this study. Cytological diagnoses were categorized into six categories based on the 2017 Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC), and histological specimens were drawn a diagnosis by means of an analogy with the Bethesda system.

Human hippocampal volume has been separately associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), DNA methylation and gene expression, but their causal relationships remain largely unknown. Here, we aimed at identifying the causal relationships of SNPs, DNA methylation, and gene expression that are associated with hippocampal volume by integrating cross-omics analyses with genome editing, overexpression and causality inference. Based on structural neuroimaging data and blood-derived genome, transcriptome and methylome data, we prioritized a possibly causal association across multiple molecular phenotypes: rs1053218 mutation leads to cg26741686 hypermethylation, thus leads to overactivation of the associated ANKRD37 gene expression in blood, a gene involving hypoxia, which may result in the reduction of human hippocampal volume.

Background And Objective: Migraine is a common neurological disease, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. Previous studies suggested that migraine was related to immunoglobulin G (IgG). We intended to analyze the immune characteristics of migraine from the perspective of IgG glycosylation and provide theoretical assistance for exploring its pathogenesis.

In mammalian testes, the apical cytoplasm of each Sertoli cell holds up to several dozens of germ cells, especially spermatids that are transported up and down the seminiferous epithelium. The blood-testis barrier (BTB) established by neighboring Sertoli cells in the basal compartment restructures on a regular basis to allow preleptotene/leptotene spermatocytes to pass through. The timely transfer of germ cells and other cellular organelles such as residual bodies, phagosomes, and lysosomes across the epithelium to facilitate spermatogenesis is important and requires the microtubule-based cytoskeleton in Sertoli cells.

Impacts of lipid oxidation product malondialdehyde (MDA) on the properties of whey protein isolate (WPI) were investigated in this study. The incorporation of MDA into WPI promoted the formation of protein carbonyls, with the significant loss of protein sulfhydryls, impaired intrinsic fluorescence, and increased protein surface hydrophobicity. The visualized band profiles revealed by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting suggested that WPI's main components β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin were the targets of MDA, and the derivatives of MDA were involved in protein cross-linking and aggregation at higher molecular weights.

Article Synopsis
  • Loss of photoreceptors from retinal degeneration leads to blindness, and cell replacement therapy using stem cell-derived photoreceptor cells could be a promising treatment.
  • The authors developed a five-cell surface biomarker panel (CD73(+)CD24(+)CD133(+)CD47(+)CD15(-)) to effectively isolate photoreceptor precursor cells from stem cell cultures.
  • Transplantation of these isolated cells into adult mouse retinae resulted in successful integration and maturation into rod photoreceptors, while unsorted cells did not integrate well, suggesting the biomarker panel also helps eliminate harmful cells before transplantation.
