FTMT-dependent mitophagy is crucial for ferroptosis resistance in cardiac fibroblast.

Metabolic responses to cellular stress are pivotal in cell ferroptosis, with mitophagy serving as a crucial mechanism in both metabolic processes and ferroptosis. This study aims to elucidate the effects of high glucose on cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) regarding ferroptosis and to uncover the underlying mechanisms involved. We examined alterations in glycolysis, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and mitophagy, which are essential for metabolic adaptations and ferroptosis.

Comprehensive Multiple Risk Factor Control in Type 2 Diabetes to Mitigate Heart Failure Risk: Insights From a Prospective Cohort Study.

Objective: The impact of comprehensive risk factor control on heart failure (HF) risk and HF-free survival time in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) was evaluated in this study.

Research Design And Methods: This prospective study included 11,949 individuals diagnosed with T2D, matched with 47,796 non-T2D control study participants from the UK Biobank cohort. The degree of comprehensive risk factor control was assessed on the basis of the major cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure, BMI, LDL cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, renal function, smoking, diet, and physical activity.

The structure of a gilled stonefly larva from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber.

Perlidae stands as the most diverse family within Plecoptera, with evidence suggesting possible adaptation to warmer aquatic environments. Tracheal gills are hypothesized to have played a pivotal role in this radiation process. This study presents the description of a fossilized stonefly larva with gills, preserved as a fresh exuvia in mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber from northern Myanmar.

Life's Essential 8, Genetic Susceptibility, and Incident Cardiac Arrhythmias: A Population-Based Prospective Cohort Study.

In this prospective cohort study, we investigated the relationship between CVH and subsequent arrhythmias risk, including atrial fibrillation (AF)/flutter, ventricular arrhythmias, and bradyarrhythmias.

Methods: Data from 287,264 participants initially free of arrhythmias in the UK Biobank were included in the analysis.

Dietary vitamin C and vitamin E with the risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection: A prospective population-based cohort study.

Background And Aims: The associations between dietary vitamin C (VC), vitamin E (VE) intake and aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) remain unclear. This study aimed to prospectively investigate the associations between dietary VC and VE with the incident risk of AAD.

Methods And Results: A total of 139 477 participants of UK Biobank cohort were included in the analysis.

SIRT3 suppression resulting from the enhanced β-catenin signaling drives glycolysis and promotes hypoxia-induced cell growth in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

The precise mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of SIRT3, a mitochondrial sirtuin protein, on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, as well as its impact on mitochondrial respiration, remain poorly understood. We assessed sirtuins 3 (SIRT3) levels in HCC tissues and Huh7 cells cultured under hypoxic condition. We investigated the effects of SIRT3 on cell proliferation, glycolytic metabolism, mitochondrial respiration, mitophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis in Huh7 cells.

The association between tinnitus and risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality: insight from the UK Biobank.

Background: The potential influence of tinnitus on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality has yet to be explored. We aim to examine the correlations between tinnitus and the risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study utilising data from the UK Biobank.

Association between daytime napping and incident arrhythmias: A prospective cohort study and mendelian randomization analysis.

Background: Emerging evidence has linked daytime napping with the risk of cardiovascular events. Cardiac arrhythmias are considered an early clinical stage for cardiovascular diseases. However, whether napping frequency is associated with incident arrhythmias remains unknown.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the giant ladybug Megalocaria dilatata.

The giant ladybug Megalocaria dilatata (Fabricius) is a potential biocontrol agent and a valuable model for coccinellid genomics and evolutionary biology. However, the lack of a reference genome for M. dilatata has impeded further explorations into its evolution and constrained its use in pest management.

Remnant cholesterol and risk of incident hypertension: a population-based prospective cohort study.

Remnant cholesterol (RC) has been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but its relationship with hypertension remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between RC and subsequent hypertension risk. Data from the UK Biobank, comprising 295,062 participants initially free of hypertension, were analyzed.

Serum albumin and risk of incident diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications in the UK Biobank cohort.

Aim: To examine the associations between serum albumin and the incidences of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications in participants of the UK Biobank cohort.

Methods: There were 398,146 participants without diabetes and 30,952 patients with diabetes from the UK Biobank cohort included in this study. Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyze the association of albumin with the incidences of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications.

sp. n., the first endemic species of Banks, 1905 (Plecoptera, Taeniopterygidae) from China.

Background: The taeniopterygid genus Banks, 1905 currently contains 14 species distributed in the Nearctic and the eastern Palearctic Regions. (Okamoto, 1922) is the only species known from the Eastern Hemisphere, specifically in Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Russia and north-eastern China.

The little-known larval morphology of two stoneflies of Styloperlidae (Insecta: Plecoptera) in China.

The stoneflies are a relatively ancient group of aquatic insects. The larvae of stoneflies are exclusively aquatic and are important bioindicators for water quality changes. However, the identification and classification of stonefly larvae are much more difficult than the adults, due to the lack of sufficient descriptions for most stonefly taxa.
