    Abstract Yi Dian Hong, belonging to the Asteraceae family, finds widespread use in traditional Chinese medicine for its effectiveness in clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling, and cooling the blood. Modern medical research has revealed that Yi Dian Hong and its proprietary Chinese medicines possess biological functions such as inhibiting tumor-specific angiogenesis and regulating immune-related molecules. However, studies have identified that the primary component of Yi Dian Hong contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), a toxic substance with potential risks to the liver, lungs, genes, and a propensity for carcinogenicity. Many countries impose strict controls on the content of PAs in herbal medicines and products. Unfortunately, China currently lacks relevant content standards, thereby introducing greater clinical application risks. To ensure the safety of clinical use of Yi Dian Hong, this review will analyze the risk associated with Yi Dian Hong and its proprietary Chinese medicines in clinical applications based on the PAs content in these medicines and provide recommendations.

    Abstract Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) has been demonstrated as a critical mediator in the innate immune response to cytosolic DNA and RNA derived from different pathogens. While the role of Micropterus salmoides STING (MsSTING) in largemouth bass virus is still unknown. In this study, RT-qPCR assay and Western-blot assay showed that the expression levels of MsSTING and its downstream genes were up-regulated after LMBV infection. Pull down experiment proved that a small peptide called Fusion peptide (FP) that previously reported to target to marine and human STING as a selective inhibitor also interacted with MsSTING in vitro. Comparing with the RNA-seq of Largemouth bass infected with LMBV singly, 326 genes were significantly up-regulated and 379 genes were significantly down-regulated in the FP plus LMBV group in which Largemouth bass was treatment with FP before LMBV-challenged. KEGG analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly related to signaling transduction, infectious disease viral, immune system and endocrine system. Besides, the survival rate of LMBV-infected largemouth bass was highly decreased following FP treatment. Taken together, our study showed that MsSTING played an important role in immune response against LMBV infection.

    Abstract Septic nonunion (SN) is a common bone disorder caused by the failure of fracture healing. Local inflammation in fracture sites often causes SN; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of SN pathology. Herein, we identified a significant upregulation of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RUNX2-AS1 (Runt-related Transcription Factor 2-Antisense 1) in the biopsies of SN patients. Overexpression or knockdown of RUNX2-AS1 in vitro could inhibit or induce, respectively, the expression of RUNX2 and RUNX2-downstream target genes, including ALPL (Alkaline Phosphatase), COL1A1 (Collagen Type I Alpha 1 Chain), IBSP (Integrin Binding Sialoprotein), MMP13 (Matrix Metallopeptidases), and SPP1 (Secreted Phosphoprotein 1), which are involved in bone differentiation. Mechanically, we demonstrated that a transcription factor c-MYC could assemble a transcriptional complex with its partner Max, a histone acetyltransferase p300, and nuclear receptor coactivator 2 (NCOA2), and this complex then bound to the promoter of RUNX2-AS1 to transactivate its expression. The mRNA and protein levels of NCOA2 were dose-dependently increased by treatment with lipopolysaccharide(LPS), a well-known inflammation trigger. LPS exposure increased the enrichment of the NCOA2-p300-c-MYC/Max complex on the RUNX2-AS1 promoter to activate its expression, thereby downregulating the expression of RUNX2 and RUNX2-downstream target genes. Depletion of NCOA2 reversed the expression of RUNX2-AS1, RUNX2, and RUNX2 target genes following LPS exposure. Taken together, our results demonstrate a new signaling pathway that contributes to the pathology of SN and may aid in preventing SN progression.

    Abstract Innate immunity is crucial for invertebrate defense against pathogenic infections. Numerous studies have indicated that the Toll-NF-κB pathway plays an important role in this process, particularly in anti-bacterial and anti-fungal immunity. Although the function of this pathway has been studied extensively, there are still uncertainties regarding its role in shrimp. In this study, we investigated the functions of Deformed Epidermal Autoregulatory Factor 1 (LvDEAF1) in Litopenaeus vannamei, a member of the Toll-NF-κB pathway. Our findings revealed that LvDEAF1 interacts with L. vannamei Pellino1 (LvPellino1). LvDEAF1 enhances the promoter activity of certain antimicrobial peptide genes, such as Metchnikowin and Drosomycin, in Drosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cells by binding to the NF-κB binding site. LvDEAF1 and LvPellino1 exhibit positive and synergistic effects. Additionally, the expression of LvDEAF1 is induced by Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection and lipopolysaccharides or zymosan treatment. Knockdown LvDEAF1 expression resulted in a decrease in Penaeidins 4 expression and an increase in the cumulative mortality of shrimp infected with V. parahaemolyticus. These findings indicate that LvDEAF1 plays an important role in the Toll-NF-κB pathway of L. vannamei and is essential for its immune response against pathogens.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of proteolytic cleavage of unusually large von Willebrand Factor(ULVWF) on endothelial cells by ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats-13) in the absence of fluid shear stress, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the pathogenesis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and other thrombotic disorders.
    Methods: The ADAMTS13-mediated proteolysis of ULVWF on the surface of endothelial cells in the absence of fluid shear stress was observed through immunofluorescence microscopy. The variation in VWF antigen levels in the conditioned media were determined by ELISA assay. The levels of VWF and the proteolytic fragments released into the conditioned media were determined by ELISA assay and Western blot in the absence and presence of fluid shear stress or FVIII. The effect of ADAMTS13-mediated ULVWF cleavage on the normal distribution of plasma VWF multimers was evaluated by multimer analysis. Histamine stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with ADAMTS13 and various N- and C-terminally truncated mutants. Then the ULVWF that maintained binding to the cells were observed through immunofluorescence microscopy and the soluble ULVWF released from endothelial cells was determined by ELISA, so as to demonstrate the domains of ADAMTS13 required for proteolysis of ULVWF on endothelial cells.
    Results: The ULVWF strings on the endothelial cell surface were rapidly proteolyzed by recombinant and plasma ADAMTS13 in the absence of fluid shear stress. This proteolytic processing of ULVWF depended on incubation time and ADAMTS13 concentration, but not shear stress and FVIII. The distribution of VWF releaseded by ADAMTS13-mediated proteolysis was quite similar to that secreted by endothelial cells under histamine stimulation, suggesting the ULVWF cleavage occured at the cell surface. The proteolysis of the ULVWF on endothelial cells required the Cys-rich(CysR) and spacer domains, but not the TSP1 2-8 and CUB domains of ADAMTS13.
    Conclusion: The ULVWF polymers on endothelial cells are sensitive to ADAMTS13-mediated cleavage even in the absence of fluid shear stress. The findings provide novel insight into the molecular mechanism of ADAMTS13-mediated ULVWF cleavage at the cellular level and may contribute to understanding of the pathogenesis of TTP and other thrombotic disorders.

    Abstract Though micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED) displays are regarded as the next-generation emerging display technology, challenges such as defects in LED's light output power and radiation patterns are critical to the commercialization success. Here we propose an electroluminescence mass detection method to examine the light output quality from the on-wafer LED arrays before they are transferred to the display substrate. The mass detection method consists of two stages. In the first stage, the luminescent image is captured by a camera by mounting an ITO (indium-tin oxide) transparent conducting glass on the LED wafer. Due to the resistance of the ITO contact pads and on-wafer n-type electrodes, we develop a calibration method based on the circuit model to predict the current flow on each LED. The light output power of each device is thus calibrated back by multi-variable regression analysis. The analysis results in an average variation as low as 6.89% for devices predicted from luminescent image capturing and actual optical power measurement. We also examine the defective or non-uniform micro-LED radiation profiles by constructing a 2-D convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The optimized model is determined among three different approaches. The CNN model can recognize 99.45% functioning LEDs, and show a precision of 96.29% for correctly predicting good devices.

    Abstract Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) stands as a prevalent and deadly global malignancy. Despite its role as a preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, Apatinib's effectiveness is curtailed among GC patients exhibiting elevated YY1 expression. YY1's connection to adverse prognosis, drug resistance, and GC metastasis is established, yet the precise underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study aims to unravel potential pathogenic pathways attributed to YY1.
    Design: Utilizing bioinformatics analysis, we conducted differentially expressed genes, functional annotation, and pathway enrichment analyses, and further validation through cellular and animal experiments.
    Results: Higher YY1 expression correlated with diminished postoperative progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) rates in TCGA analysis, identifying YY1 as an independent DSS indicator in gastric cancer (GC) patients. Notably, YY1 exhibited significantly elevated expression in tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Bioinformatics analysis revealed noteworthy differentially expressed genes (DEGs), transcriptional targets, factors, and co-expressed genes associated with YY1. LASSO Cox analysis unveiled Transferrin as a prospective pivotal protein regulated by YY1, with heightened expression linked to adverse DSS and PFS outcomes. YY1's role in governing the p53 signaling pathway and ferroptosis in GC cells was further elucidated. Moreover, YY1 overexpression dampened immune cell infiltration within GC tumors. Additionally, YY1 overexpression hindered GC cell ferroptosis and mediated Apatinib resistance via the p53 pathway. Remarkably, IFN-a demonstrated efficacy in reversing Apatinib resistance and immune suppression in GC tissues.
    Conclusions: Our findings underscore the pivotal role of YY1 in driving GC progression and influencing prognosis, thus pinpointing it as a promising therapeutic target to enhance patient outcomes.
