    Abstract Based on the higher mortality and the higher proportion of critically ill adults in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with diabetes, good inpatient glycemic control is particularly important in the comprehensive treatment of COVID-19. Individualized blood glucose target goals and treatment strategies should be made according to specific circumstances of COVID-19 inpatients with diabetes. For mild patients, a strict glycemic control target (fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 4.4-6.1 mmol/L, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2 h PG) 6.1-7.8 mmol/L) are recommended; a target for the glycemic control of common type patients (FPG 6.1-7.8 mmol/L, 2 h PG 7.8-10.0 mmol/L) and subcutaneous insulin deliver therapy are recommended; a target nonfasting blood glucose range of 10.0 mmol or less per liter for severe-type COVID-19 patients, a relatively Less stringent blood glucose control target (FPG 7.8-10.0 mmol/L, 2 h PG 7.8-13.9 mmol/L) for critically ill patients and intravenous insulin infusion therapy are recommended. Due to the rapid changes in the condition of some patients, the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar status (HHS) maybe occur during the treatment. Blood glucose monitoring, dynamic evaluation and timely adjustment of strategies should be strengthened to ensure patient safety and promote early recovery of patients.

    Abstract The patient, a 41-year-old woman, was admitted because "it was found out she had elevated serum potassium levels for 18 days". Eighteen days prior to admission at our hospital, the patient was found to have elevated serum potassium during hospitalization at another hospital, where the patient received symptomatic treatment and was discharged after her serum potassium returned to a normal level. However, the patient still had elevated serum potassium repeatedly and was referred to our hospital for further examination. The patient had a history of acute nephritis and gestational hypertension. Six months prior to admission at our hospital, it was found out that the patient had slightly elevated blood pressure, but no intervention was done. The patient's father has a history of hypertension and diabetes. After admission, laboratory results showed that the patient had hyperkalemia, hyperchloremia and metabolic acidosis. The level of plasma renin was obviously below the normal range, but the concentration of plasma aldosterone was within the normal range. A new mutation locus (c.1115delG) in

    Abstract The post-stroke period is associated with a lot of sequelae, including depression, decreased quality of life, and decline of cognitive function. Apart from the pharmacotherapy, it is also important to find a non-pharmacological treatment to relieve the sequelae. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) might be a potential candidate, which can be clarified by a systematic review and meta-analysis. The eligible criteria of enrolled studies in the systematic review and meta-analysis were the randomised clinical trials (RCTs) using CBT to treat post-stroke depression, or with the focus on quality of life or cognitive function in the post-stroke period. The endpoint scores of depression, quality of life, and cognitive function scales were the targeted outcome for the final meta-analysis in the random effects model. Ten RCTs with 432 post-stroke patients receiving CBT and 385 controls were included. The meta-analysis results showed significant improvements in depression severity and quality of life. However, no significant difference between CBT and control groups was found in cognitive function. In addition, significant heterogeneity was derived from the meta-analysis. According to the meta-analysis results, CBT might be beneficial for relieving depression severity and improving quality of life. However, cognitive function might not be influenced by CBT. Further studies with a more consistent CBT design with greater sample sizes should be warranted to clarify and confirm the treatment effects of CBT for post-stroke depression and quality of life.

    Abstract Although immunotherapy has progressed in the treatment of bladder cancer, some patients still have poor prognosis. New therapeutic targets are eager to be discovered to improve the outcomes of bladder cancer. With the development of high-throughput sequencing and tumor profiling, potential tumor biomarkers were identified. Through the interpretation of related data from the Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA), some key genes have been discovered to drive the development and prognosis of urinary bladder neoplasm. On account of the success of immunotherapy in many cancer types, we established the relationship between tumor mutation burden and immune microenvironment of bladder cancer and found the changes of several immune cells in this disease. Based on the understanding of the bladder tumor genome and immune environment, this study is supposed to provide new therapies for the treatment of bladder neoplasm.

    Abstract With the industrialization and development of modern science, the application of enzymes as green and environmentally friendly biocatalysts in industry has been increased widely. Among them, lipase (EC. 3.1.1.3) is a very prominent biocatalyst, which has the ability to catalyze the hydrolysis and synthesis of ester compounds. Many lipases have been isolated from various sources, such as animals, plants and microorganisms, among which microbial lipase is the enzyme with the most diverse enzymatic properties and great industrial application potential. It therefore has promising applications in many industries, such as food and beverages, waste treatment, biofuels, leather, textiles, detergent formulations, ester synthesis, pharmaceuticals and medicine. Although many microbial lipases have been isolated and characterized, only some of them have been commercially exploited. In order to cope with the growing industrial demands and overcome these shortcomings to replace traditional chemical catalysts, the preparation of new lipases with thermal/acid-base stability, regioselectivity, organic solvent tolerance, high activity and yield, and reusability through excavation and modification has become a hot research topic.

    Abstract In insects, vision is crucial in finding host plants, but its role in nocturnal insects is largely unknown. Vision involves responses to specific spectra of photon wavelengths and opsins plays an important role in this process. Long-wavelength sensitive opsin (LW opsin) and blue-sensitive opsin (BL opsin) are main visual opsin proteins and play important in behavior regulation.We used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to mutate the long-wavelength-sensitive and blue wavelength-sensitive genes and explored the role of vision in the nocturnal invasive pest Tuta absoluta. Light wave experiments revealed that LW2

    Abstract Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Solanine is a phytochemical extracted from traditional Chinese medicine with widely reported anticancer effects. Here, we investigated the potential role of solanine in regulating ferroptosis in CRC cells and scrutinized the molecular mechanism.
    Methods: Cell growth and cytotoxicity were examined using CCK-8 proliferation assay and lactate dehydrogenase assay. Oxidative stress was determined by measuring glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Subcellular changes in mitochondria were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Gene and protein expression levels were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Protein-protein interaction was determined by co-immunoprecipitation.
    Key findings: Solanine arrested cell proliferation in CRC cells and induced typical ferroptotic changes. Solanine treatment promoted ROS production, lipid peroxidation, and cell membrane disruption, while the cellular level of antioxidant GSH was reduced upon solanine treatment. ALOX12B was identified as a molecular mediator of solanine to promote ferroptosis. Solanine treatment upregulated ALOX12B levels and silencing ALOX12B could suppress solanine-induced ferroptosis. Further, ADCY4 was found to physically associate with ALOX12B and maintain ALOX12B protein stability. Silencing ADCY4 destabilized ALOX12B and attenuated solanine-induced ferroptosis.
    Conclusions: Our data demonstrated the ferroptosis-inducing effect of solanine in CRC cells, and revealed ALOX12B/ADCY4 molecular axis as the ferroptosis mediator of solanine. Solanine may synergize with existing ferroptosis inducer as an anticancer strategy in CRC, which warrants further validation in animal experiments.

    Abstract Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a prevalent plasticizer, is known to have endocrine-disrupting effects on males and cause reproductive toxicity. There were causal effects of DEHP on testosterone levels in the real world by Mendelian randomization analysis. Exposure to DEHP during the preadult stage might lead to premature testicular senescence, but the mechanisms responsible for this have yet to be determined. In this study, we administered DEHP (300 mg/kg/day) to male C57BL/6 mice from postnatal days 21 to 49. The mice were kept for 6 months without DEHP. RNA sequencing was conducted on testicular tissue at PNM6. The results indicated that DEHP hindered testicular development, lowered serum testosterone levels in male mice, and induced premature testicular senescence. TM3 Leydig cells were exposed to 300 μM of mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), the bioactive metabolite of DEHP, for 72 h. The results also found that DEHP/MEHP induced senescence in vivo and in vitro. The mitochondrial respiratory chain was disrupted in Leydig cells. The expression and stability of STAT5B were elevated by MEHP treatment in TM3 cells. Furthermore, p-ERK1/2 was significantly decreased by STAT5B, and mitochondria-STAT3 (p-STAT3 ser727) was significantly decreased due to the decrease of p-ERK1/2. Additionally, the senescence level of TM3 cells was decreased and treated with 5 mM NAC for 1 h after MEHP treatment. In conclusion, these findings provided a novel mechanistic understanding of Leydig cells by disrupting the mitochondrial respiratory chain through STAT5B-mitoSTAT3.
