Serum small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have recently drawn considerable interest because of the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of their miRNAs content. However, the characteristics of human, mouse and rat serum sEVs and their differences in small RNA contents are still unknown. In this study, through nanoparticle tracking analysis and small RNA sequencing, we found that human, rat, and mouse serum sEVs exhibited distinct sizes and particle numbers as well as small RNA contents. Serum sEVs contained not only abundant miRNAs but also a large number of tRNA fragments. Most serum miRNAs existed both inside and outside of sEVs but were enriched in sEVs. Common serum sEV miRNAs (188 miRNAs) and species-specific serum sEV miRNAs (265, 58, and 159 miRNAs, respectively) were identified in humans, rats, or mice. The serum sEVs contained miRNAs from tissues and organs throughout the body, with blood cells as the main contributors. In conclusion, our findings confirmed the rationality of exploring serum sEV miRNAs as noninvasive diagnostic markers and revealed great differences in serum sEV small RNAs between humans, rats, and mice. Inadequate attention to these differences and the contribution of blood cells to serum sEV miRNAs could hinder the clinical translation of basic studies.

Sevoflurane versus propofol on immediate postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass: a comparative analysis.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, Yinchuan, Ningxia, 750001, China.
Objective: This study aims to compare the effects of sevoflurane (SEV) and propofol (PRO) on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (CS) under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), with a focus on evaluating the efficacy of these anesthetic agents in preventing POCD.
Methods: A total of 113 patients undergoing CS with CPB were grouped into two: PRO group (n = 58) and SEV group (n = 55). Baseline data, anesthesia effects (CPB duration, anesthesia time, respiratory recovery time, and anesthesia recovery time), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, POCD incidence, neurological function markers (NSE, S-100β, MMP9), and serum inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α) were analyzed.

Background: Early detection is crucial for improving survival of patients with ovarian cancer (OC), yet current diagnostic tools lack adequate sensitivity and specificity, especially for early stage disease. The study aimed to validate the serum small extracellular vesicles (sEV) protein based Ovarian Cancer Score (OCS) in detecting OC.
Methods: This multicenter study included 1183 adult females with adnexal masses from four hospitals in China (October 2019-April 2023).
Turkish version of the German Eating Behavior Scale (SEV-Tr): a study of reliability and construct validity.
Psychol Health Med
December 2024
Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
This two-phase study aims to develop the Turkish version of the German Eating Behavior Scale (SEV-Tr), and to investigate the potential associations of eating behaviors with nutritional and health status. In the first phase, the original scale was adapted to the Turkish language and its validity and reliability were assessed in 299 healthy individuals aged 19-64 years. In the second phase, the SEV-Tr was retested in a study population of 110 healthy individuals, aged 19-64 years, and the potential associations between the SEV-Tr score, anthropometrical and biochemical measurements, and other eating behaviors assessed by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-Tr21) were examined.

Article Synopsis
- Aging leads to loss of muscle mass and function, resulting in poorer health outcomes, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality risk among older adults.
- Small extracellular vesicles (sEV), which can be isolated from body fluids and contain specific biomarkers, offer a minimally invasive way to assess muscle health.
- Research on vervet monkeys showed that sEV from different age groups can reveal molecular changes related to muscle metabolism and regulation, suggesting they may serve as effective biomarkers for muscle health monitoring.
Serum small extracellular vesicles-derived BST2 as a biomarker for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma promotes lymph node metastasis.

Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100730, P. R. China.
Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), although frequently indolent, could be aggressive in a few patients, leading to lymph node metastasis (LNM) and worsened prognosis. To explore the role of protein profiling of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in the auxiliary diagnosis and risk stratification of PTMC, proteins in serum sEVs isolated from PTMC patients with (N = 10) and without (N = 10) LNM and benign thyroid nodule (BN) patients (N = 9) were profiled via a bioinformatics-integrated data-independent acquisition proteomic technique. The performance of candidate proteins as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in PTMC was assessed via receiver operating characteristic analysis.
