    Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) has the potential to induce extra-pulmonary organ damage by adversely affecting the lungs and promoting the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) is a pro-inflammatory mediator in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), but its effect on MV-associated liver injury and the mechanisms are poorly understood. In the present study, mice were subjected to high-volume MV (20 ml/kg) to induce VILI. MV-induced HMGB1 prompted neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation and PANoptosis within the liver. Inhibiting NETs formation by DNase I or PAD4 inhibitor, or by HMGB1 neutralizing ameliorated the liver injury. HMGB1 activated neutrophils to form NETs through TLR4/MyD88/TRAF6 pathway. Importantly, Importin7 siRNA nanoparticles inhibited HMGB1 release and protected against MV-associated liver injury. These data provide evidence of MV-induced HMGB1 prompted NETs formation and PANoptosis in the liver via the TLR4/MyD88/TRAF6 pathway. HMGB1 is a potential therapeutic target for MV-associated liver injury.

    Abstract Objective: Obesity has become a global health issue and a risk factor for hyperuricemia. However, the associations between obesity and hyperuricemia are sometimes confounding. In the present study, we performed mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to study their relationship and investigate the underlying mechanism by network pharmacology.
    Method: Body mass index (BMI) and uric acid related to single nucleotide polymorphism were selected as instrumental variables for MR analysis. Three robust analytical methods are used for bidirectional MR analysis such as inverse-variance weighting, weighted median and MR-Egger regression. Then, we further performed sensitivity analysis to evaluate the horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneities, and stability. The targets related to obesity and hyperuricemia were collected, screened and further conducted for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment to explore the mechanism of obesity and hyperuricemia using network pharmacology.
    Results: The positive causality was indicated between BMI and hyperuricemia based on inverse variance-weighted analysis [odds ratio:1.23, 95% confidence interval: 1.11 to 1.30 for each standard deviation increase in BMI (4.6 kg/m
    Conclusions: Our MR analysis supported the causal association between obesity and hyperuricemia based on availablegenome-wide association analysis summary statistics. Obesity leads to hyperuricemia via

    Abstract In fully grown oocytes, the genome is considered to be globally transcriptionally silenced. However, this conclusion is primarily derived from the results obtained through immunofluorescence staining or inferred from the highly condensed state of chromosomes, lacking more direct evidence. Here, by using a kethoxal-assisted single-stranded DNA sequencing (KAS-seq) approach, we investigated the landscape of single-strand DNA (ssDNA) throughout the genome and provided a readout of the activity and dynamics of transcription during oocyte meiotic maturation. In non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) oocytes, we observed a robust KAS-seq signal, indicating the high transcriptional activity. In surrounded nucleolus (SN) oocytes, the presence of ssDNA still persists although the KAS-seq signal was relatively weak, suggesting the presence of transcription. Accompanying with the meiotic resumption, the transcriptional activity gradually decreased, and global repression was detected in matured oocytes. Moreover, we preformed the integrative genomics analysis to dissect the transcriptional dynamics during mouse oocyte maturation. In sum, the present study delineates the detailed transcriptional activity during mammalian oocyte maturation.

    Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) may negatively affect the lungs and cause the release of inflammatory mediators, resulting in extra-pulmonary organ dysfunction. Studies have revealed systemically elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines in animal models of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI); however, whether these cytokines have an effect on gut injury and the mechanisms involved remain unknown. In this study, VILI was generated in mice with high tidal volume mechanical ventilation (20 ml/kg). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 concentrations in serum and gut measured by ELISA showed significant elevation in the VILI mice. Significant increases in gut injury and PANoptosis were observed in the VILI mice, which were positively correlated with the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. The VILI mice displayed intestinal barrier defects, decreased expressions of occludin and zonula occludin-1 (ZO-1), and increased expression of claudin-2 and the activation of myosin light chain (MLC). Importantly, intratracheal administration of Imp7 siRNA nanoparticle effectively inhibited cytokines production and protected mice from VILI-induced gut injury. These data provide evidence of systemic cytokines contributing to gut injury following VILI and highlight the possibility of targeting cytokines inhibition via Imp7 siRNA nanoparticle as a potential therapeutic intervention for alleviating gut injury following VILI.

    Abstract Understanding post-fire forest recovery is critical to the study of forest carbon dynamics. Many previous studies have used multispectral imagery to estimate post-fire recovery, yet post-fire forest structural development has rarely been evaluated in the Great Xing’an Mountain. In this study, we extracted the historical fire events from 1987 to 2019 based on a classification of Landsat imagery and assessed post-fire forest structure for these burned patches using Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI)-derived metrics from 2019 to 2021. Two drivers were assessed for the influence on post-fire structure recovery, these being pre-fire canopy cover (i.e., dense forest and open forest) and burn severity levels (i.e., low, moderate, and high). We used these burnt patches to establish a 25-year chronosequence of forest structural succession by a space-for-time substitution method. Our result showed that the structural indices suggested delayed recovery following the fire, indicating a successional process from the decomposition of residual structures to the regeneration of new tree species in the post-fire forest. Across the past 25-years, the dense forest tends toward greater recovery than open forest, and the recovery rate was faster for low severity, followed by moderate severity and high severity. Specifically, in the recovery trajectory, the recovery indices were 21.7% and 17.4% for dense forest and open forest, and were 27.1%, 25.8%, and 25.4% for low, moderate, and high burn severity, respectively. Additionally, a different response to the fire was found in the canopy structure and height structure since total canopy cover (TCC) and plant area index (PAI) recovered faster than relative height (i.e., RH75 and RH95). Our results provide valuable information on forest structural restoration status, that can be used to support the formulation of post-fire forest management strategies in Great Xing’an Mountain.

    Abstract In comparison with spontaneously breathing non-intubated subjects, intubated, mechanically ventilated patients encounter various challenges, barriers, and opportunities in receiving medical aerosols. Since the introduction of mechanical ventilation as a part of modern critical care medicine during the middle of the last century, aerosolized drug delivery by jet nebulizers has become a common practice. However, early evidence suggested that aerosol generators differed in their efficacies, and the introduction of newer aerosol technology (metered dose inhalers, ultrasonic nebulizer, vibrating mesh nebulizers, and soft moist inhaler) into the ventilator circuit opened up the possibility of optimizing inhaled aerosol delivery during mechanical ventilation that could meet or exceed the delivery of the same aerosols in spontaneously breathing patients. This narrative review will catalogue the primary variables associated with this process and provide evidence to guide optimal aerosol delivery and dosing during mechanical ventilation. While gaps exist in relation to the appropriate aerosol drug dose, discrepancies in practice, and cost-effectiveness of the administered aerosol drugs, we also present areas for future research and practice. Clinical practice should expand to incorporate these techniques to improve the consistency of drug delivery and provide safer and more effective care for patients.

    Abstract Background: Limited evidence is available on the association between estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (e-CRF) and incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Chinese population.
    Methods: A total of 10,507 adults including 5084 men (48.4%) and 5423 (51.6%) women with a median age of 56.0 (25% quantile: 49, 75% quantile 63) years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) was recruited in 2011 as baseline. The CVD incident events were followed-up until 2018. e-CRF was calculated from sex-specific longitudinal non-exercise equations and further grouped into quartiles. Cox proportional models were used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for incidence risks of CVD, heart disease and stroke.
    Results: During a median follow-up of 7 years, a total of 1862 CVD, 1409 heart disease and 612 stroke events occurred. In fully adjusted models, each one MET increment of e-CRF was associated with lower risk of CVD (HR = 0.91, 95%CI = 0.85-0.96 for males, HR = 0.87, 95%CI = 0.81-0.94 for females). Compared with the Quartile (Q)1 group, the HRs (95%CI) of the Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups were 0.84 (0.63-1.03), 0.72 (0.57-0.91) and 0.66 (0.51-0.87) for CVD in males. Females had HRs of 0.79 (0.66-0.96) in Q2, 0.71 (0.57-0.88) in Q3 and 0.58 (0.45-0.75) in Q4 for CVD. The associations between e-CRF and heart disease and stroke were slightly weaker than that for CVD in both males and females.
    Conclusions: Higher e-CRF decreases the incident risk of CVD, heart disease and stroke.
