    Abstract Congenital heart defects (CHDs) affect a substantial proportion of patients with Kabuki syndrome. However, the prevalence and type of CHD and the genotype-phenotype correlations in Asian populations are not fully elucidated. This study performed a retrospective analysis of 23 Taiwanese patients with molecularly confirmed Kabuki syndrome. Twenty-two patients presented with pathogenic variants in the

    Abstract Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter that mediates neuronal damage in acute and chronic brain disorders. The effect and mechanism of phillygenin, a natural compound with neuroprotective potential, on glutamate release in isolated nerve terminals (synaptosomes) prepared from the rat cerebral cortex were examined. In this study, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), a potassium channel blocker, was utilized to induce the release of glutamate, which was subsequently quantified via a fluorometric assay. Our findings revealed that phillygenin reduced 4-AP-induced glutamate release, and this inhibitory effect was reversed by removing extracellular Ca

    Abstract Neuronal circuits regulating appetite are dominated by arcuate nucleus neurons, which include appetite-promoting and -suppressing neurons that release the orexigenic neuropeptide agouti-related protein (AgRP) and anorexigenic neuropeptide pro-opiomelanocortin, respectively, to compete for melanocortin receptors to modulate feeding behavior.

    Abstract Human APOBEC3G (A3G) is a cytidine deaminase that broadly restricts the replication of many retroviruses, including HIV-1. In different cell types, cytoplasmic A3G is expressed in high-molecular-mass (HMM) RNA-protein complexes or low-molecular-mass (LMM) forms displaying different biological activities. LMM A3G has been proposed to restrict HIV-1 infection soon after virion entry in resting CD4 T cells, monocytes, and mature dendritic cells. Cellular activation and specific cytokine signaling promote the recruitment of LMM A3G into HMM complexes that are likely nucleated by the induced expression of Alu retroelement RNAs. HMM A3G sequesters these retroelement RNAs away from the nuclear LINE-derived enzymes required for Alu retrotransposition. However, assembly of A3G into HMM complexes suppresses its enzymatic activity and may render cells permissive to HIV-1 infection. During HIV-1 virion formation, newly synthesized LMM A3G is preferentially encapsidated when the HIV-1 viral protein viral infectivity factor is absent and employs sequential actions to restrict HIV-1. A3G's biological activities are tightly regulated by its ability to assemble into HMM complexes. Here, we describe in detail the procedures for biochemical fractionation and purification of HMM A3G complexes. Purified HMM A3G complexes will be useful for studying many aspects of the A3G biology, including A3G's roles in restricting retroviral replication, inhibiting retroelement mobility, and potentially regulating cellular RNA function.

    Abstract Background: Among Taiwanese adolescents, how the clustering of unhealthy behaviors, including insufficient physical activity, screen-based sedentary behavior and frequent sugar-sweetened beverage consumption affecting depressive symptom remains unclear. This study aims to examine the cross-sectional association between clustering of unhealthy behaviors and depressive symptom.
    Methods: We analyzed 18,509 participants from the baseline survey of the Taiwan Adolescent to Adult Longitudinal Survey in 2015. The outcome was depressive symptoms, and the main exposures were insufficient physical activity, screen-based sedentary behaviors and frequent sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. Generalized linear mixed models were performed to find key factor associated with depressive symptom.
    Results: Depressive symptoms were common among participants (31.4%), particularly in female and older adolescents. After adjustments for covariates including sex, school type, other lifestyle factors and social determinants, individuals exhibiting clustering of unhealthy behaviors were more likely (aOR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.48-1.58) to exhibit depressive symptoms than those who have no or only one unhealthy behavior.
    Conclusions: Clustering of unhealthy behaviors is positively associated with depressive symptom among Taiwanese adolescents. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening public health interventions to improve physical activity and decrease sedentary behaviors.

    Abstract Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) plays an essential role in DNA repair by catalyzing the polymerization of ADP-ribose unit to target proteins. Several studies have shown that PARP-1 can regulate inflammatory responses in various disease models. The intracellular Nod-like receptor NLRP3 has emerged as the most crucial innate immune receptor because of its broad specificity in mediating immune response to pathogen invasion and danger signals associated with cellular damage. In our study, we found NLRP3 stimuli-induced caspase-1 maturation and IL-1β production were impaired by PARP-1 knockout or PARP-1 inhibition in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). The step 1 signal of NLRP3 inflammasome activation was not affected by PARP-1 deficiency. Moreover, ATP-induced cytosolic ROS production was lower in Parp-1

    Abstract This study aimed to explore the cluster patterns of female nursing students’ perceptions of the effects of menstrual distress during clinical practice. This study adopted the Q-methodology study design. We recruited female nursing students from a college in northern Taiwan. Forty-seven Q-statements were constructed to explore participants’ experiences of the impact of menstrual distress on clinical learning. In total, 58 participants subjectively ranked Q-statements concerning menstrual distress experiences during clinical practice and were classified. After Q-sorting, the subjective ranking process PQ Method (version 2.35, Schmolck, Emmendingen, Germany) was employed for factor analysis. Four patterns of shared perspectives, accounting for 46.6% of the total variance, were identified: (a) influencing clinical learning and making good use of painkillers; (b) responsible attitudes and diversified relief of discomfort; (c) seeking peer support and effect on mood; (d) negative impact on learning ability and conservative self-care. Clinical practice is a major component of nursing education; menstrual distress affects female nursing students’ clinical learning and performance. The exploration of clustering different nursing students’ perceptions may facilitate customized strategies to enable more appropriate assistance.
