Objective: To investigate the association between genotype and β-amyloid (Aβ) burden, as measured by PET in patients with subcortical vascular cognitive impairment (SVCI) and those with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment (ADCI).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 310 patients with SVCI and 999 with ADCI. To evaluate the effects of genotype or diagnostic group on Aβ positivity, we performed multivariate logistic regression analyses. Further distinctive underlying features of latent subgroups were examined by employing a latent class cluster analysis approach.
Results: In comparison with ε3 homozygotes, in the ADCI group, ε2 carriers showed a lower frequency of Aβ positivity (odds ratio [OR] 0.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.23-0.79), while in the SVCI group, ε2 carriers showed a higher frequency of Aβ positivity (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.02-5.01). In particular, we observed an interaction effect of ε2 carrier status and diagnostic group on Aβ positivity (OR 5.12, 95% CI 1.93-13.56), in that relative to ε3 homozygotes, there were more Aβ-positive ε2 carriers in the SVCI group than in the ADCI group. We also identified latent subgroups of Aβ-positive ε2 carriers with SVCI and Aβ-positive ε4 carriers with ADCI.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that ε2 is distinctly associated with Aβ deposition in patients with SVCI and those with ADCI. Our findings further suggest that there is a distinctive subgroup of Aβ-positive ε2 carriers with SVCI among patients with cognitive impairment.

Objectives: Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Studies have shown that gene polymorphism is associated with the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its role in DKD remains unclear. This study aims to analyze the distribution of alleles and genotypes of gene in patients with T2DM, and investigate the association between genetic polymorphism and DKD susceptibility in T2DM patients, which may provide new ideas for the pathogenesis of DKD.

Dipole moment arrangement in organic semiconductors plays a critical role in affecting the intermolecular packing, determining optoelectronic properties and device performance. Here, to get the desired fill factor (FF) values in organic solar cells (OSCs), the local dipole of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) is modulated by changing the molecular asymmetries. Two NFAs, AA-1 and AA-2 are designed and synthesized, which have different substitutions of alkyl and alkoxyl groups.

By inducing-conjugated organic molecule CHNin group II-VI based CdSe network structure materials, the band structures and carrier transport of organic-inorganic hybrid superlattices CdSe(CHN)were investigated via first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. With different stacking patterns, it is found that the carrier mobility can be modulated by 5-6 orders of magnitude. The physical mechanism of the high carrier mobility in the hybrid structures has been revealed, which means dipole organic layers realize electron delocalization via electrostatic potential difference and build-in electric field.

The solute carrier 6 (SLC6) gene family, functioning as neurotransmitter transporters, plays the crucial roles in neurotransmission, cellular and organismal homeostasis. In this study, we found an expansion of SLC6 family gene in the genome of chordate invertebrate Ciona savignyi. A total of 40 candidate genes including 29 complete and 11 putative genes were identified as SLC6 family gene homologs.

Growth, end-product synthesis, enzyme activities, and transcription of select genes associated with the "malate shunt," pyruvate catabolism, H2 synthesis, and ethanol production were studied in the cellulolytic anaerobe, Clostridium thermocellum ATCC 27405, during open-batch fermentation of cellobiose to determine the effect of elevated N2 and H2 gas sparging on metabolism using a 14-L fermenter with a 7-L working volume. The metabolic shift from acetate, H2, and CO2 to ethanol and formate in response to high H2 versus high N2 sparging (20 mL s(-1)) was accompanied by (a) a 2-fold increase in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) activity, (b) a 10-fold increase in adhE transcription, and (c) a 3-fold decrease in adhZ transcription. A similar, but less pronounced, metabolic shift was also observed when the rate of N2 sparging was decreased from 20 to 2 mL s(-1), during which (a) NADH-dependent ADH and pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR) activities increased by ∼1.
