Gastrointestinal complications of hepatic glycogen storage disease: a national survey questionnaire study in China.

Orphanet J Rare Dis

January 2025

Department of Pediatrics, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, The Second School of Clinical Medicine, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510080, China.

Background: Hepatic glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are inborn errors of metabolism with abnormal storage or utilization of glycogen, a complex disease with significant genetic heterogeneity and similar clinical manifestations. This study aimed to describe the gastrointestinal symptoms and endoscopic features of hepatic GSD, including types Ia, Ib, III, VI, and IX, to provide evidence for etiology and treatment.

Methods: A national cohort survey questionnaire was distributed to patients diagnosed with GSD type Ia, Ib, III, VI, and IX through genetic testing or their parents in mainland China in May 2022.

Metadag: a web tool to generate and analyse metabolic networks.

BMC Bioinformatics

January 2025

Mathematics and Computer Science Department, University of the Balearic Islands, Ctra Valldemossa, Km 7.5, Palma, 07122, Balearic Islands, Spain.

Background: MetaDAG is a web-based tool developed to address challenges posed by big data from omics technologies, particularly in metabolic network reconstruction and analysis. The tool is capable of constructing metabolic networks for specific organisms, sets of organisms, reactions, enzymes, or KEGG Orthology (KO) identifiers. By retrieving data from the KEGG database, MetaDAG helps users visualize and analyze complex metabolic interactions efficiently.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex gynecological endocrinological condition that significantly impacts women's fertility during their reproductive lifespan. The causes of PCOS are multifaceted, and its pathogenesis is not yet clear. This study established a rat model of PCOS and, in conjunction with clinical samples and database data, analysed the role of claudin 11 (CLDN11) in follicular granulosa cells (GCs) in regulating the proliferation of GCs.

Rapid structural analysis of purified proteins and their complexes has become increasingly common thanks to key methodological advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and associated data processing software packages. In contrast, analogous structural analysis in cells via cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) remains challenging due to critical technical bottlenecks, including low-throughput sample preparation and imaging, and laborious data processing methods. Here, we describe a rapid in situ cryo-ET sample preparation and data analysis workflow that results in the routine determination of sub-nm resolution ribosomal structures.
