    Abstract Background and purpose: Physical rehabilitation plays an important role in the recovery of motor function after a stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Tai Chi Yunshou (TCY), a form of physical therapy, on upper-limb function and balance in stroke survivors.
    Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and five Chinese databases were retrieved from inception to July 1, 2020 (updated on March 31, 2022). Randomized controlled trials of TCY versus no-treatment for stroke were included. The RoB-2 was used to evaluate the quality of included studies. Upper-limb motor impairment, balance, and activities of daily living (ADLs) were measured by Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity Scale (FMA-UE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Barthel Index (BI), respectively. Data synthesis was performed using RevMan (v5.3), and expressed as mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
    Results: Seven studies with 529 participants were included. Compared with no-treatment, TCY improved FMA-UE (MD = 7.31, 95% CI: 5.86-8.77, minimal clinically important difference [MCID]: 9-10), BBS (MD = 4.68, 95% CI: 0.28-9.07, MCID: 4), and BI (MD = 4.12, 95% CI: 3.28-4.96, MCID: 1.85) in stroke survivors.
    Conclusion: TCY may benefit balance and ADLs in rehabilitation after a stroke, but it may not improve upper-limb function clinically.

    Abstract The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) forms two distinct complexes: rapamycin-sensitive mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and rapamycin-insensitive mTORC2. mTORC2 primarily regulates cell survival by phosphorylating Akt, though the upstream regulation of mTORC2 remains less well-defined than that of mTORC1. In this study, we show that NOP14, a 40S ribosome biogenesis factor and a target of the mTORC1-S6K axis, plays an essential role in mTORC2 signaling. Knockdown of NOP14 led to mTORC2 inactivation and Akt destabilization. Conversely, overexpression of NOP14 stimulated mTORC2-Akt activation and enhanced cell proliferation. Fractionation and coimmunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that the mTORC2 complex was recruited to the rough endoplasmic reticulum through association with endoplasmic reticulum-bound ribosomes. In vivo, high levels of NOP14 correlated with poor prognosis in multiple cancer types. Notably, cancer cells with NOP14 high expression exhibit increased sensitivity to mTOR inhibitors, because the feedback activation of the PI3K-PDK1-Akt axis by mTORC1 inhibition was compensated by mTORC2 inhibition partly through NOP14 downregulation. In conclusion, our findings reveal a spatial regulation of mTORC2-Akt signaling and identify ribosome biogenesis as a potential biomarker for assessing rapalog response in cancer therapy.

    Abstract Background: Novel-fosfamides (NFOs) belong to active metabolites of ifosfamide that bypass the generation of toxic byproducts. In this analysis, we aimed to comprehensively assess the benefits and risks of NFO monotherapy or in combination with doxorubicin (DOX) versus single-drug DOX in previously untreated patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma (ASTS).
    Methods: Online PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases were systematically searched on April 26, 2022. Objective response rate and disease control rate were primary outcomes. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events were secondary outcomes.
    Results: In all, 3 randomized clinical trials with a total of 1207 ASTS patients were eligible. DOX plus NFO combination therapy showed higher risk ratios of objective response rate (1.50, 95% CI 1.20-1.68, P = .0003) and disease control rate (1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.27, P = .0030) compared with DOX monotherapy. Nevertheless, NFO-based monotherapy and combination therapy were found no improvements on OS (hazard ratio 0.93, 95% CI 0.52-1.65, P = .8050) and PFS (hazard ratio 0.88, 95% CI 0.54-1.43, P = .6088) against DOX. More incidences of grade 3 or worse anemia, thrombocytopenia, stomatitis, diarrhea, constipation, and febrile neutropenia were observed in NFO-based treatments.
    Conclusion: Adding NFO to DOX as first-line therapy improved the responses in ASTS patients but did not prolong OS and PFS. Grade 3 or worse treatment-related adverse events should be treated with caution during the NFO-based therapies.

    Abstract Replicating SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to degrade HLA class I on target cells to evade the cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response. HLA-I downregulation can be sensed by NK cells to unleash killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-mediated self-inhibition by the cognate HLA-I ligands. Here, we investigated the impact of HLA and KIR genotypes and HLA-KIR combinations on COVID-19 outcome. We found that the peptide affinities of HLA alleles were not correlated with COVID-19 severity. The predicted poor binders for SARS-CoV-2 peptides belong to HLA-B subtypes that encode KIR ligands, including Bw4 and C1 (introduced by B*46:01), which have a small F pocket and cannot accommodate SARS-CoV-2 CTL epitopes. However, HLA-Bw4 weak binders were beneficial for COVID-19 outcome, and individuals lacking the HLA-Bw4 motif were at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19. The presence of the HLA-Bw4 and KIR3DL1 combination had a 58.8% lower risk of developing severe COVID-19 (OR = 0.412, 95% CI = 0.187-0.904,

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to further quantify the relationship between insulin antibodies (IAs) and the 2-hour insulin to C-peptide molar ratio (2h-ICPR) using a multiple linear regression model in T2DM patients.
    Methods: A total of 274 T2DM patients from April 2019 to December 2022 in Xiang'an Hospital of Xiamen University were included in this study. Multiple Linear Model Fitting was conducted on the candidate independent variables (age, BMI, HbA1c, and 2h-ICPR) for the multiple linear regression. The linear relationship between insulin antibodies (IAs) and the significant independent variables was presented by making multiple linear regression equations.
    Results: The total demographic characteristics of the included patients were as follows: age (51.92±13.10 years), BMI (24.94±3.99 kg/m
    Conclusion: The quantitative relationship between 2h-ICPR and insulin antibodies was . 2h-ICPR can be a preliminary screening indicator for insulin antibody testing in patients with type 2 diabetes.

    Abstract A superior piezoelectric coefficient and diminutive lattice thermal conductivity are advantageous for the application of a two-dimensional semiconductor in piezoelectric and thermoelectric devices, whereas an imperfect piezoelectric coefficient and large lattice thermal conductivity limit the practical application of the material. In this study, we investigate how the equibiaxial strain regulates the electronic structure, and mechanical, piezoelectric, and thermal transport properties.

    Abstract The relationship between CD276 and malignancies of the female reproductive system has previously been controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of CD276 expression in clinicopathological features and prognosis of female reproductive system malignant tumors through meta-analysis. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang databases were searched for studies published up to December 2022 on the role of CD276 expression in the clinicopathological features and prognosis of female reproductive system malignancies. STATA 14.0 was used for meta-analysis. A total of 10 studies were included, involving 840 patients with malignant tumors of the female reproductive system. The results showed that in terms of clinicopathological features: CD276 expression was closely related to lymph node status [OR = 2.33, 95 %CI = 1.32-4.11, P = 0.003], tumor differentiation [OR = 2.15, 95 %CI = 1.27-3.63, P = 0.004], and FIGO stage [OR = 2.58, 95 %CI = 1.44-4.61, P = 0.001] of reproductive system malignant tumors. In terms of prognosis: CD276 expression is strongly associated with shorter OS in patients with female reproductive system malignancies [HR = 3.33, 95 % CI = 1.36-8.15, P = 0.01]. CD276 may be a new target for immunotherapy and a biomarker for predicting poor prognosis of female reproductive system malignancies.
