    Abstract Narrative care for families suffering from perinatal loss is rarely provided by medical institutions in China Mainland. However, with the advancement of the Chinese narrative medicine theory and practice, the clinical significance of narrative care has been increasingly recognized. Based on the principles of Chinese narrative medicine, this narrative case study described traumatic narrative foreclosures occuring in a family suffering from stillbirth, and highlighted the multidisciplinary collaboration for practising narrative care in the process of supporting the bereaved in our hospital. Meanwhile, we advocate the establishment of a narrative care ecology by training more obsteticians and nurses with good narrative competence in purpose of helping the family experiencing perinatal losses to overcome their tramatic narrative foreclosures, increasing the chances of another successful pregnancy and childbirth as well as enhancing their quality of life.

    Abstract Background: The study aimed to identify core biomarkers related to diagnosis and immune microenvironment regulation and explore the immune molecular mechanism of diabetic nephropathy (DN) through bioinformatics analysis.
    Methods: GSE30529, GSE99325, and GSE104954 were merged with removing batch effects, and different expression genes (DEGs) were screened at a criterion |log2FC| >0.5 and adjusted P <0.05. KEGG, GO, and GSEA analyses were performed. Hub genes were screened by conducting PPI networks and calculating node genes using five algorithms with CytoHubba, followed by LASSO and ROC analysis to accurately identify diagnostic biomarkers. In addition, two different GEO datasets, GSE175759 and GSE47184, and an experiment cohort with 30 controls and 40 DN patients detected by IHC, were used to validate the biomarkers. Moreover, ssGSEA was performed to analyze the immune microenvironment in DN. Wilcoxon test and LASSO regression were used to determine the core immune signatures. The correlation between biomarkers and crucial immune signatures was calculated by Spearman analysis. Finally, cMap was used to explore potential drugs treating renal tubule injury in DN patients.
    Results: A total of 509 DEGs, including 338 upregulated and 171 downregulated genes, were screened out. "chemokine signaling pathway" and "cell adhesion molecules" were enriched in both GSEA and KEGG analysis. CCR2, CX3CR1, and SELP, especially for the combination model of the three genes, were identified as core biomarkers with high diagnostic capabilities with striking AUC, sensitivity, and specificity in both merged and validated datasets and IHC validation. Immune infiltration analysis showed a notable infiltration advantage for APC co-stimulation, CD8+ T cells, checkpoint, cytolytic activity, macrophages, MHC class I, and parainflammation in the DN group. In addition, the correlation analysis showed that CCR2, CX3CR1, and SELP were strongly and positively correlated with checkpoint, cytolytic activity, macrophages, MHC class I, and parainflammation in the DN group. Finally, dilazep was screened out as an underlying compound for DN analyzed by CMap.
    Conclusions: CCR2, CX3CR1, and SELP are underlying diagnostic biomarkers for DN, especially in their combination. APC co-stimulation, CD8+ T cells, checkpoint, cytolytic activity, macrophages, MHC class I, and parainflammation may participate in the occurrence and development of DN. At last, dilazep may be a promising drug for treating DN.

    Abstract β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) is a pivotal nutritional and functional protein. However, its application is limited by its antigenicity and susceptibility to oxidation. Here, we explore the impact of covalent modification by six natural compounds on the antigenicity and antioxidant characteristics of β-LG to explore the underlying interaction mechanism. Our findings reveal that the covalent interaction of β-LG and flavonoids reduces the antigenicity of β-LG, with the following inhibition rates: epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) (57.0%), kaempferol (42.4%), myricetin (33.7%), phloretin (28.6%), naringenin (26.7%), and quercetin (24.3%). Additionally, the β-LG-flavonoid conjugates exhibited superior antioxidant capacity compared to natural β-LG. Our results demonstrate that the significant structural modifications from α-helix to β-sheet induced by flavonoid conjugation elicited distinct variations in the antigenicity and antioxidant activity of β-LG. Therefore, the conjugation of β-LG with flavonoids presents a prospective method to reduce the antigenicity and enhance the antioxidant capacity of β-LG.

    Abstract Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) on radiation-induced colorectal fibrosis (RICF) along with the associated dysbiosis of gut microbiota and metabolites.
    Main methods: Fecal microbiota were assessed through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and the fecal metabolome was characterized using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The correlation between microbiota and metabolome data was explored.
    Key findings: ADSC injection demonstrated a significant restoration of radiation-induced intestinal damage in vivo. At the phylum level, irradiated rats exhibited an increase in Bacteroidota and Campilobacterota, and a decrease in Firmicutes and Desulfobacterota, contrasting with the ADSC treatment group. Metabolomic analysis revealed 72 differently expressed metabolites (DEMs) from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 284 DEMs from liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in the radiation group compared to the blank group. In the ADSC treatment group versus the radiation group, 36 DEMs from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 341 DEMs from liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were identified. KEGG enrichment analysis implicated pathways such as steroid hormone biosynthesis, gap junction, primary bile acid biosynthesis, citrate cycle, cAMP signaling pathway, and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism during RICF progression and after treated with ADSCs. Correlation analysis highlighted the role of ADSCs in modulating the metabolic process of Camelledionol in fecal Bacteroides.
    Significance: These findings underscore the potential of ADSCs in reversing dysbiosis and restoring normal colonic flora in the context of RICF, offering valuable insights for therapeutic interventions targeting radiation-induced complications.

    Abstract Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease in both developed and developing countries. It is lack of specific diagnosis, and the pathogenesis remains unclarified in diabetic nephropathy, following the unsatisfactory effects of existing treatments. Therefore, it is very meaningful to find biomarkers with high specificity and potential targets. Two datasets, GSE30529 and GSE47184 from GEO based on diabetic nephropathy tubular samples, were downloaded and merged after batch effect removal. A total of 545 different expression genes screened with log2FC>0.5 were weighted gene coexpression correlation network analysis, and green module and blue module were identified. The results of KEGG analyses both in green module and GSEA analysis showed the same two enriched pathway, focal adhesion and viral myocarditis. Based on the intersection among WGCNA focal adhesion/Viral myocarditis, GSEA focal adhesion/viral myocarditis, and PPI network, 17 core genes, ACTN1, CAV1, PRKCB, PDGFRA, COL1A2, COL6A3, RHOA, VWF, FN1, HLA-F, HLA-DPB1, ITGB2, HLA-DRA, HLA-DMA, HLA-DPA1, HLA-B, and HLA-DMB, were identified as potential biomarkers in diabetic tubulointerstitial injury and were further validated externally for expression at GSE99325 and GSE104954 and clinical feature at nephroseq V5 online platform. CMap analysis suggested that two compounds, LY-294002 and bufexamac, may be new insights for therapeutics of diabetic tubulointerstitial injury. Conclusively, it was raised that a series of core genes may be as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and two prospective compounds.

    Abstract Although recent studies have reported that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is involved in the development of ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), the exact function and regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs in ischemic AKI remain largely unknown. Herein, we found that ischemic injury promoted the expression of lncRNA 148400 in mouse proximal tubule-derived cell line (BUMPT) and C57BL/6J mice. Furthermore, the lncRNA148400 mediates ischemic injury-induced apoptosis of BUMPT cells. Mechanistically, lncRNA 148400 sponged miR-10b-3p to promote apoptosis via GRK4 upregulation. Finally, knockdown of lncRNA 148400 alleviated the I/R-induced deterioration of renal function, renal tubular injury, and cell apoptosis. In addition, cleaved caspase-3 is increased via targeting the miR-10b-3p/GRK4 axis. Collectively, these results showed that lncRNA 148400/miR-10b-3p/GRK4 axis mediated the development of ischemic AKI.

    Abstract The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is not fully understood. To date, the exact role and regulatory mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)136131 in AKI remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that lncRNA136131 in BUMPT cells is induced by antimycin A. Furthermore, after incubating BUMPT cells in antimycin for two hours, lncRNA136131 prevented BUMPT cell apoptosis and cleaved caspase-3 expression. Mechanistically, lncRNA136131 sponged miR-378a-3p and then increased the expression of Rab10 to suppress apoptosis. Finally, I/R-induced decline of renal function, tubular damage, renal tubular cells apoptosis, and the upregulation of cleaved caspase-3 were aggravated by lncRNA136131 siRNA. In contrast, this effect was attenuated by the overexpression of lncRNA136131. In conclusion, lncRNA136131 protected against I/R-induced AKI progression by targeting miR-378a-3p/Rab10 and may be utilized as a novel target for AKI therapeutics.
