    Abstract The contact between the dialysis membrane and blood can induce oxidative stress and thrombosis, causing oxidative organ damage and impaired toxin clearance. To date, the selection of anticoagulants has focused on mechanisms inhibiting white, but not red (erythrocytes) thrombus formation. In the present study, polyethersulfone (PES) membranes are modified with the antioxidant drug tiopronin; the physicochemical properties and dialysis performance of the Tio-PES membranes are evaluated. The effects on erythrocyte thrombosis are evaluated in terms of erythrocyte morphology, prothrombotic properties (adhesion, aggregation, viscosity, sedimentation, and hemolysis), and fibrinogen (FIB)-erythrocyte interactions. The regular anticoagulant and antiplatelet properties are also assessed. Superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, plasma protein, and complement C3a are further determined. Finally, the biosafety of the Tio-PES membranes is evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The Tio-PES membranes exhibit excellent physicochemical properties and improved dialysis performance. It is found that the Tio-PES membranes stabilize erythrocyte morphology, reduce erythrocyte prothrombotic properties, decrease FIB adsorption, and prevent red thrombus formation. In addition, the Tio-PES membranes exhibit excellent antioxidant properties and show biosafety in primary toxicity studies. Thus, Tio-PES membranes hold promise as novel, safe, and effective dialysis materials for potential clinical application.

    Abstract Effects of different levels (1%, 3% and 5%) of cherry powder on the physiochemical properties and antioxidant activity of Jiangsu-type sausages were investigated at 4 °C for 30 days. The results show that the sensory evaluation values and physicochemical properties of the sausages had no significant differences compared to the control group when cherry powder addition was 1%, and the alcohols, aldehydes and esters were increased after the addition of cherry powder improved the flavor of sausages. However, higher concentration of cherry powder (3% and 5%) exerted adverse influences on sensory evaluation values and physicochemical properties of sausages compared with the control. The addition of cherry powder could better inhibit lipid and protein oxidation of sausages, and the cherry powder concentration has a positive correlation with its effect on the inhibition of lipid and protein oxidation. In addition, cherry powder could effectively control TVB-N values of sausages during chilled storage. All these results indicate that 1% cherry powder could not only guarantee the physicochemical properties of sausages, but also inhibited the oxidation of sausages during chilled storage.

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a malignant disease with progressive increase of pulmonary vascular pressure, which eventually leads to right heart failure. More and more evidences show that immune cells and inflammation play an important role in the occurrence and development of PH. In the context of pulmonary vascular diseases, immune cells migrate into the walls of the pulmonary vascular system. This leads to an increase in the levels of cytokines and chemokines in both the bloodstream and the surrounding tissues of the pulmonary vessels. As a result, new approaches such as immunotherapy and anti-inflammatory treatments are being considered as potential strategies to halt or potentially reverse the progression of PH. We reviewed the potential mechanisms of immune cells, cytokines and chemokines in PH development. The potential relationship of vascular cells or bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) in immune regulation was also expounded. The clinical application and future prospect of immunotherapy were further discussed.

    Abstract With the improvement of living standards and the lack of nutrition awareness during pregnancy, the phenomenon of excessive weight gain (EWG) of pregnancy is increasing. EWG during pregnancy has profound effects on the health of mother and offspring. The role of intestinal flora in regulating metabolic diseases has gradually attracted attention in recent years. The study explored the effect of EWG during pregnancy on gut microbiota, and analyzed the diversity and composition of gut microbiota in pregnant women in third trimester. Fecal samples were collected and divided into: insufficient weight gain (IWG) during pregnancy (group A1, N = 4), and appropriate weight gain (AWG) during pregnancy (group A2, N = 9), and EWG during pregnancy (N = 9 in A3 group). MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis were introduced to investigate relationship of gestational weight gain and maternal gut microbiota. General data analysis showed that gestational weight gain and delivery mode have significant differences among the three groups. The overall level and diversity of intestinal microbiota in A1 and A3 group were increased. Composition of gut microbiota has no difference among three groups at the phylum level, but species of gut microbiota were different. Alpha diversity index analysis showed that the richness of A3 group was increased versus A2 group. EWG during pregnancy affects the abundance and proportion of gut microbiota in the third trimester. Therefore, maintaining moderate weight gain during pregnancy helps to maintain intestinal homeostasis.

    Abstract Objectives: This study intended to develop a new immunogenic cell death (ICD)-related prognostic signature for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
    Research design and methods: The Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithm was adopted to cluster tumor samples based on ICD gene expression to obtain ICD-related subtypes. Survival analysis and immune microenvironment analysis were conducted among different subtypes. Regression analysis was used to construct the model. Based on riskscore median, cancer patients were classified into high and low risk groups, and independent prognostic ability of the model was analyzed. The CIBERSORT algorithm was adopted to determine the immune infiltration level of both groups.
    Results: We analyzed the differential genes between cluster 4 and cluster 1-3 and obtained 12 genes with the best prognostic features finally (NLGN1, SLC30A3, C3orf20, ADAD2, ATOH1, ATP6V1B1, KCNQ2, MUCL3, RGCC, CLEC17A, COL6A5, and INSL4). In addition, patients with lower risk had higher levels of infiltration of most immune cells, lower Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) level and higher immunophenscore (IPS) level than those with higher risk.
    Conclusions: This study constructed and validated the ICD feature signature predicting CRC prognosis and provide a reference criteria for guiding the prognosis and immunotherapy of CRC cancer patients.

    Abstract Ischemic stroke has become a serious public health problem that causes high rates of death and disability. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosomes have shown promising therapeutic results in IS, while the underlying mechanisms need further investigation. Cell and mice models were established through oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) treatment and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion. Exosomes were isolated from BMSCs. Related gene and protein expression was measured by qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence analysis. The biological functions of treated cells and tissues were analyzed by MTT, ELISA, JC-1, flow cytometry, TTC staining, or TUNEL staining. The interaction of KLF4/lncRNA-ZFAS1 promoter and lncRNA-ZFAS1/FTO was measured by ChIP, dual-luciferase reporter, or RIP assays. The m6A levels of Drp1 were measured by MeRIP-PCR. Mitochondrial staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to evaluate the mitochondrial morphology in N2a cells and brain tissues. BMSC-derived exosomes increased the viability of neuronal cells treated with OGD/R while decreasing LDH release, oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, and apoptosis. Furthermore, these effects were abolished by knockdown of exosomal KLF4. KLF4 increased lncRNA-ZFAS1 through binding to its promoter. LncRNA-ZFAS1 overexpression suppressed the m6A levels of Drp1 and reversed the promoting effect of exosomal KLF4 silencing on mitochondrial injury and the imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics by targeting FTO. Exosomal KLF4 alleviated the infarct area, neuronal injury, and apoptosis in MCAO mice through lncRNA-ZFAS1/FTO/Drp1 axis. BMSC-derived exosomal KLF4 promoted lncRNA-ZFAS1 expression to repress Drp1 m6A modification by targeting FTO, thus reducing mitochondrial dysfunction and alleviating neuronal injury in ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Effective vascular and hepatic enhancement and better safety are the key drivers for exploring gadolinium-free hepatobiliary contrast agents. Herein, a facile strategy proposes that the high lipophilicity may be favorable to enhancing sequentially vascular and hepatobiliary signal intensity based on the structure-activity relationship that both hepatic uptake and interaction with serum albumins partly depend on lipophilicity. Therefore, 11 newly synthesized derivatives of manganese
