    Abstract Over the past year, an unexpected surge in human monkeypox (hMPX) cases has been observed. This outbreak differs from previous ones, displaying distinct epidemiological characteristics and transmission patterns, believed to be influenced by a newly emerging monkeypox virus (MPXV) lineage. Notably, this emerging MPXV lineage has exhibited several non-synonymous mutations, some of which are linked to immunomodulatory activities and antigenic characteristics that aid in host detection. However, specific treatments or vaccines for human monkeypox are currently lacking. Hence, we aim to develop a multi-epitope mRNA vaccine by using immunoinformatics approaches against the MPXV, particularly its emerging variants. Six proteins (A29L, A35R, B6R, M1R, H3L, and E8L) were chosen for epitope and mutation site identification. Seventeen top-performing epitopes and eight epitopes containing mutation sites were selected and combined with adjuvants, the PADRE sequence, and linkers for vaccine development. The molecular and physical properties of the designed vaccine (WLmpx) were favorable. Immunological characteristics of WLmpx were assessed through molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and immune simulations. Finally, the vaccine sequence was utilized to formulate an mRNA-based vaccine. The informatics-based predicted results indicated that the designed vaccine exhibits significant potential in eliciting high-level humoral and cellular immune responses, but further validation through

    Abstract Introduction: The weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) is a novel obesity evaluation indicator that appears to be superior to body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in evaluating muscle and fat mass. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between WWI and fractures among adults.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, multivariate logistic regression and smoothed curve fitting were used to investigate linear and nonlinear associations between WWI and fractures, based on data from 28,679 adult participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018.
    Results: After adjusting for all covariates, the prevalence of hip/wrist/spine fractures among all participants was 1.09%, 8.87%, and 1.97%, respectively. A 1-unit increase in WWI was associated with a 5% increase in the odds of hip fractures [1.05 (1.01, 1.10)], and a 9% increase in the odds of spine fractures [1.09 (1.06, 1.13)], but not with the prevalence of wrist fractures [0.97 (0.94, 1.06)].
    Conclusions: Higher WWI was associated with an increased prevalence of hip fracture and spine fracture, but not wrist fracture.

    Abstract Introduction: The mechanism by which socioeconomic status (SES) affects bone mineral density (BMD) remains unknown, and body mass index (BMI) may be a potential mediator. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether BMI mediates the relationship between SES [education level and poverty income ratio (PIR)] and lumbar BMD and the proportion it mediates.
    Methods: This study included a total of 11,075 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Lumbar BMD was measured at the lumbar spine by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Multivariate linear regression and smoothing curve fitting were used to investigate the relationship between SES and lumbar BMD. Mediator analysis was used to investigate the proportion of BMI mediating the association between SES and BMD.
    Results: In the fully adjusted model, there was a positive correlation between SES and BMD (education level: β = 0.025, 95% CI: 0.005, 0.045; PIR: β = 0.007, 95% CI: 0.002, 0.011). Mediation analysis showed that BMI mediated the relationship between PIR, education level, and lumbar BMD with a range of mediation proportions from 13.33 to 18.20%.
    Conclusion: BMI partially mediated the positive association between SES and BMD, and this association may be largely mediated by factors other than BMI.

    Abstract Adhesion molecules play critical roles in maintaining the structural integrity of the airway epithelium in airways under stress. Previously, we reported that catenin alpha-like 1 (CTNNAL1) is downregulated in an asthma animal model and upregulated at the edge of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) after ozone stress. In this work, we explore the potential role of CTNNAL1 in the structural adhesion of HBECs and its possible mechanism. We construct a CTNNAL1

    Abstract Introduction: There may be inaccuracies in hepatic steatosis in past research assessing the relationship between bone metabolism and liver steatosis. The goal of the current research was to look at the associations between bone mineral density (BMD) and the hepatic steatosis and fibrosis as detected by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) in teenagers in the United States.
    Methods: Weighted multiple linear regression models and smoothed curve fitting were used to investigate the association between BMD and the degree of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in adolescents.
    Results: In 829 adolescents aged 12-19 years we found a negative association between total BMD and CAP (controlled attenuation parameter) [-32.46 (-58.98, -9.05)] and a significant positive association between lumbar BMD and LSM (liver stiffness measurement) [1.35 (0.19, 2.51)]. The inverted U-shaped relationships were founded between total BMD, lumbar BMD, pelvis BMD, and CAP with inflection points of 221.22 dB/m, 219.88 dB/m, and 216.02 dB/m, respectively.
    Conclusions: In adolescents, higher BMD is significantly associated with lower levels of hepatic steatosis and higher levels of liver stiffness.

    Abstract Background: Since May 2022, cases of monkeypox, a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), have been increasingly reported worldwide. There are, however, no proven therapies or vaccines available for monkeypox. In this study, several multi-epitope vaccines were designed against the MPXV using immunoinformatics approaches.
    Methods: Three target proteins, A35R and B6R, enveloped virion (EV) form-derived antigens, and H3L, expressed on the mature virion (MV) form, were selected for epitope identification. The shortlisted epitopes were fused with appropriate adjuvants and linkers to vaccine candidates. The biophysical andbiochemical features of vaccine candidates were evaluated. The Molecular docking and molecular dynamics(MD) simulation were run to understand the binding mode and binding stability between the vaccines and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs). The immunogenicity of the designed vaccines was evaluated via immune simulation.
    Results: Five vaccine constructs (MPXV-1-5) were formed. After the evaluation of various immunological and physicochemical parameters, MPXV-2 and MPXV-5 were selected for further analysis. The results of molecular docking showed that the MPXV-2 and MPXV-5 had a stronger affinity to TLRs (TLR2 and TLR4) and MHC (HLA-A*02:01 and HLA-DRB1*02:01) molecules, and the analyses of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation have further confirmed the strong binding stability of MPXV-2 and MPXV-5 with TLRs and MHC molecules. The results of the immune simulation indicated that both MPXV-2 and MPXV-5 could effectively induce robust protective immune responses in the human body.
    Conclusion: The MPXV-2 and MPXV-5 have good efficacy against the MPXV in theory, but further studies are required to validate their safety and efficacy.

    Abstract Venetoclax is a potent inhibitor that specifically targets B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2), which has been demonstrated to be effective in preclinical studies utilizing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and xenograft models. Significant antileukemic activity was also observed in clinical trials, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other drugs. This novel therapeutic approach has revolutionized the treatment prospects for AML patients with unfavorable prognoses and those who are unable to tolerate intensive chemotherapy. Nevertheless, further investigations are required to establish the optimal dosing, sequencing, and combinational strategies of venetoclax for AML treatments. Additionally, identifying biomarkers is crucial for predicting response and resistance to this targeted intervention. In this review, we provide an overview of venetoclax-based therapy for AML and explore potential avenues for future research.
