    Abstract Fibroblast Growth Factors, Second Edition systematically introduces readers to FGF in the fields of injury repair and regeneration, endocrinology and metabolism, structure and modification, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, FGF/FGFR inhibitor, engineering and new drug development. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are secreted protein ligands that act in a paracrine or endocrine fashion to carry out their pleiotropic functions in development, tissue homeostasis and metabolism. This book covers the work from Li's team from 2013 to 2018 and will be a primer for scientists, particularly young students entering the FGFs field with an eye on basic research and application.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to investigate the risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infection (CRPA-BSI) and identify predictors of outcomes among patients with P. aeruginosa bloodstream infection (PA-BSI).
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with PA-BSI at Henan Cancer Hospital from 2013 to 2022.
    Results: Among the 503 incidences analysed, 15.1% of them were CRPA strains. Age, ANC < 100/mmc, receiving antifungal prophylaxis, exposure to carbapenems within the previous 90 days to onset of BSI, and allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) were associated with the development of CRPA-BSI. CRPA-BSI patients experienced significantly higher 28-day mortality rates compared to those with carbapenem-susceptible P. aeruginosa bloodstream infection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age at BSI, active stage of haematological disease, procalcitonin levels, prior corticosteroid treatment, isolation of CRPA, and septic shock as independent predictors of 28-day mortality.
    Conclusions: Risk factors for CRPA-BSI include age, ANC < 100/mmc, antifungal prophylaxis, exposure to carbapenems, and allo-HSCT. Additionally, age at BSI, active haematological disease, procalcitonin levels, prior corticosteroid treatment, CRPA isolation, and septic shock contribute to increased mortality rates among patients with PA-BSI.

    Abstract Human fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19, or FGF15 in rodents) plays a central role in controlling bile acid (BA) synthesis through a negative feedback mechanism. This process involves a postprandial crosstalk between the BA-activated ileal farnesoid X receptor and the hepatic Klotho beta (KLB) coreceptor complexed with fibrobalst growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) kinase. Additionally, FGF19 regulates glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism by coordinating responses from functional KLB and FGFR1-3 receptor complexes on the periphery. Pharmacologically, native FGF19 or its analogs decrease elevated BA levels, fat content, and collateral tissue damage. This makes them effective in treating both cholestatic diseases such as primary biliary or sclerosing cholangitis (PBC or PSC) and metabolic abnormalities such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, chronic administration of FGF19 drives oncogenesis in mice by activating the FGFR4-dependent mitogenic or hepatic regenerative pathway, which could be a concern in humans. Agents that block FGF19 or FGFR4 signaling have shown great potency in preventing FGF19-responsive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in animal models. Recent phase 1/2 clinical trials have demonstrated promising results for several FGF19-based agents in selectively treating patients with PBC, PSC, NASH, or HCC. This review aims to provide an update on the clinical development of both analogs and antagonists targeting the FGF19-FGFR4 signaling pathway for patients with cholestatic, metabolic, and cancer diseases. We will also analyze potential safety and mechanistic concerns that should guide future research and advanced trials.

    Abstract A 63-year-old man presented to emergency department with a 2-hour history of chest tightness and suffocation. The oxygen saturation was 50% while he was breathing ambient air. Laboratory evaluation revealed D2 polymer level, 0.69 mg/L (reference range, 0 to 0.50), activated partial thromboplastin time, 75.0 s (reference range, 28.0 to 43.5). Computed tomography angiography of the chest showed thrombus in the right pulmonary artery, inferior vena cava and right atrium. Coronal view also demonstrated a hepatic mass with a massive neovascularization, extending from hepatic veins into the inferior vena cava.

    Abstract Members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family play pleiotropic roles in cellular and metabolic homeostasis. During evolution, the ancestor FGF expands into multiple members by acquiring divergent structural elements that enable functional divergence and specification. Heparan sulfate-binding FGFs, which play critical roles in embryonic development and adult tissue remodeling homeostasis, adapt to an autocrine/paracrine mode of action to promote cell proliferation and population growth. By contrast, FGF19, 21, and 23 coevolve through losing binding affinity for extracellular matrix heparan sulfate while acquiring affinity for transmembrane α-Klotho (KL) or β-KL as a coreceptor, thereby adapting to an endocrine mode of action to drive interorgan crosstalk that regulates a broad spectrum of metabolic homeostasis. FGF19 metabolic axis from the ileum to liver negatively controls diurnal bile acid biosynthesis. FGF21 metabolic axes play multifaceted roles in controlling the homeostasis of lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism. FGF23 axes from the bone to kidney and parathyroid regulate metabolic homeostasis of phosphate, calcium, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone that are important for bone health and systemic mineral balance. The significant divergence in structural elements and multiple functional specifications of FGF19, 21, and 23 in cellular and organismal metabolism instead of cell proliferation and growth sufficiently necessitate a new unified and specific term for these three endocrine FGFs. Thus, the term "FGF Metabolic Axis," which distinguishes the unique pathways and functions of endocrine FGFs from other autocrine/paracrine mitogenic FGFs, is coined.

    Abstract Introduction: In recent years, with the popularity of many social media platforms worldwide, the role of "virtual social network platforms" in the field of cross-cultural communication has become increasingly important. Scholars in psychology and neuroscience, and cross-disciplines, are attracted to research on the motivation, mechanisms, and effects of communication on social media across cultures.
    Methods and analysis: This paper collects the co-citation of keywords in "cultural psychology," "cross-culture communication," "neuroscience," and "social media" from the database of web of science and analyzes the hotspots of the literature in word cloud.
    Results: Based on our inclusion criteria, 85 relevant studies were extracted from a database of 842 papers. There were 44 articles on cultural communication on social media, of which 26 were from the perspective of psychology and five from the perspective of neuroscience. There are 27 articles that focus on the integration of psychology and neuroscience, but only a few are related to cross-cultural communication on social media.
    Conclusion: Scholars have mainly studied the reasons and implications of cultural communication on social media from the perspectives of cultural psychology and neuroscience separately. Keywords "culture" and "social media" generate more links in the hot map, and a large number of keywords of cultural psychology and neuroscience also gather in the hot map, which reflects the trend of integration in academic research. While cultural characteristics have changed with the development of new media and virtual communities, more research is needed to integrate the disciplines of culture, psychology, and neuroscience.

    Abstract At present, no effective strategy exists to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of AD and the development of new therapeutic approaches are essential. Stem cell transplantation for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases is currently a research hotspot. Numerous studies have suggested that neural stem cells (NSCs) can differentiate into functional neurons, replace dead neurons, and form synaptic connections with adjacent surviving neurons, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect. In theory, the use of NSCs to replace and restore damaged cholinergic neurons and synapses may provide a new therapeutic option for AD. This review summarizes the recent preclinical research progress of NSC transplantation for the treatment of AD.
