    Abstract Kidney disease (KD) is a life-threatening disease characterized by high morbidity and mortality in clinical settings, which can be caused by many reasons, and the incidence increases with age. However, supportive therapy and kidney transplantation still have limitations in alleviating KD progression. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown great potential in repairing injury through their multidirectional differentiation and self-renewal ability. Of note, MSCs serve as a safe and effective therapeutic strategy for treating KD in preclinical and clinical trials. Functionally, MSCs ameliorate KD progression by regulating the immune response, renal tubular cell apoptosis, tubular epithelial–mesenchymal transition, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, and so on. In addition, MSCs exhibit remarkable efficacy in both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) through paracrine mechanisms. In this review, we outline the biological characteristics of MSCs, discuss the efficacy and mechanisms of MSCs-based therapy for KD, summarize the completed and ongoing clinical trials, as well as analyze limitations and new strategies, aiming to provide new ideas and approaches for the preclinical experiments and clinical trials of MSCs transplantation for KD.

    Abstract The association between bilirubin (BIL) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial. We performed a meta-analysis of prospective studies to evaluate this association in the general population. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus databases through to September 2021. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale was used to assess study quality. The pooled effect estimate was calculated by the fixed-effect model or random-effect model. We included 12 prospective studies (368 567 participants). The pooled risk ratio of CVD for the lowest vs highest groups of BIL levels was .75 (95% CI: .58-.97) with high heterogeneity (I

    Abstract Purpose. To report the first complete fox coronavirus (CoV) genome sequence obtained through genome-wide amplifications and to understand the adaptive evolution of fox CoV. Methods. Anal swab samples were collected from 35 foxes to detect the presence of CoV and obtain the virus sequence. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using MrBayes. The possibility of recombination within these sequences was assessed using GARD. Analysis of the levels of selection pressure experienced by these sequences was assessed using methods on both the PAML and Data Monkey platforms. Results. Of the 35 samples, two were positive, and complete genome sequences for the viruses were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis, using Bayesian methods, of these sequences, together with other CoV sequences, revealed that the fox CoV sequences clustered with canine coronavirus (CCoV) sequences, with sequences from other carnivores more distantly related. In contrast to the feline, ferret and mink CoV sequences that clustered into species-specific clades, the fox CoV fell within the CCoV clade. Minimal evidence for recombination was found among the sequences. A total of 7, 3, 14, and 2 positively selected sites were identified in the M, N, S, and 7B genes, respectively, with 99, 111, and 581 negatively selected sites identified in M, N, and S genes, respectively. Conclusion. The complete genome sequence of fox CoV has been obtained for the first time. The results suggest that the genome sequence of fox CoV may have experienced adaptive evolution in the genes replication, entry, and virulence. The number of sites in each gene that experienced negative selection is far greater than the number that underwent positive selection, suggesting that most of the sequence is highly conserved and important for viral survive. However, positive selection at a few sites likely aided these viruses to adapt to new environments.

    Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause intestinal microbial imbalance and aggravate intestinal inflammation. Mixed fructan is more easily fermented by colonic microorganisms and can be used as colonic drug delivery materials. Here, we constructed a mixed fructan based nanoparticle with dual targeted stimulation of pH and intestinal flora to effectively deliver berberine for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). The complex of fructan based nanoparticle and berberine (BBRNPs) significantly ameliorated the inflammatory response of sodium dextran sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB/STAT-3 pathway and increasing tight junction protein expression in vivo. Importantly, BBRNPs improved the responsiveness of colitis microbiome and effectively regulated the relative homeostasis of harmful flora Enterobacteriaceae and Escherichia-shigolla, and beneficial flora Ruminococcaceae and Akkermansiaceae. This study provides a promising strategy for the effective treatment of UC and expands the application of branched fructan in pharmaceutics.

    Abstract This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of the nickel-titanium arched shape-memory alloy connector (hereafter referred to as the ASC) and tension band fixation for the treatment of transverse patellar fractures. We retrospectively analyzed a total of 257 patients with transverse patellar fractures who were treated at our emergency orthopaedics department from March 2010 to March 2017. Either an ASC or the Kirschner wire (K-wire) tension band had been used to treat these fractures according to surgeons' experience and preference. We compared operative details, postoperative recovery, and postoperative knee function at 6 months. In terms of surgical duration, blood loss, incision length, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications, patients in the ASC group showed significantly better results than patients in the K-wire group (

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a serious threat to human health and a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Recent years have witnessed exciting progress in the understanding of heart formation and development, enabling cardiac biologists to make significant advance in the field of therapeutic heart regeneration. Most of our understanding of heart development and regeneration, including the genes and signaling pathways, are driven by pioneering works in non-mammalian model organisms, such as fruit fly, fish, frog, and chicken. Compared to mammalian animal models, non-mammalian model organisms have special advantages in high-throughput applications such as disease modeling, drug discovery, and cardiotoxicity screening. Genetically engineered animals of cardiovascular diseases provide valuable tools to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of pathogenesis and to evaluate therapeutic strategies. A large number of congenital heart diseases (CHDs) non-mammalian models have been established and tested for the genes and signaling pathways involved in the diseases. Here, we reviewed the mechanisms of heart development and regeneration revealed by these models, highlighting the advantages of non-mammalian models as tools for cardiac research. The knowledge from these animal models will facilitate therapeutic discoveries and ultimately serve to accelerate translational medicine.
