    Abstract Background/purpose: This study investigated the demographic characteristics and influenza complications of paediatric patients and explored the association of different influenza virus types and viral and bacterial coinfections with disease severity.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data collected in 2010-2016 from the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD), the largest collection of multi-institutional electronic medical records in Taiwan. Data were retrieved for children aged 0-18 years with laboratory-confirmed influenza. We extracted and analysed the demographic characteristics and the data on clinical features, complications, microbiological information, and advanced therapies of each case.
    Results: We identified 6193 children with laboratory-confirmed influenza, of whom 1964 (31.7%) were hospitalised. The age of patients with influenza A infection was lower than that of patients with influenza B (4.48 vs. 6.68, p < 0.001). Patients with influenza B infection had a higher incidence of myositis or rhabdomyolysis (4.4%, p < 0.001) and a higher need for advanced therapies (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.32-2.9, p < 0.001). In addition to bacterial (OR, 9.07; 95% CI, 5.29-15.54, p < 0.001) and viral coinfection (OR, 7.73; 95% CI, 5.4-11.07, p < 0.001), dual influenza A and B infection was also a risk factor for influenza complications (OR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.47-3.09, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Dual influenza A and B infection and bacterial coinfection can contribute to influenza complications. Early recognition of any influenza complication is critical for the timely initiation of organ-specific advanced therapies to improve influenza-associated outcomes.

    Abstract Objectives: With the increasing popularity of CT screening, more cases of early-stage lung cancer are being diagnosed. However, 24.5% of stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients still experience treatment failure post-surgery. Biomarkers to predict lung cancer patients at high risk of recurrence are needed.
    Materials and methods: We collected protein mass spectrometry data from the Taiwan Lung Cancer Moonshot Project and performed bioinformatics analysis on proteins with differential expressions between tumor and adjacent normal tissues in 74 stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cases, aiming to explore the tumor microenvironment related prognostic biomarkers. Findings were further validated in 6 external cohorts.
    Results: The analysis of differentially expressed proteins revealed that the most enriched categories of diseases and biological functions were cellular movement, immune cell trafficking, and cancer. Utilizing proteomic profiling of the tumor microenvironment, we identified five prognostic biomarkers (ADAM10, MIF, TEK, THBS2, MAOA). We then developed a risk score model, which independently predicted recurrence-free survival and overall survival in stage I LUAD. Patients with high risk scores experienced worse recurrence-free survival (adjusted hazard ratio = 8.28, p < 0.001) and overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio = 6.88, p = 0.013). Findings had been also validated in the external cohorts.
    Conclusion: The risk score model derived from proteomic profiling of tumor microenvironment can be used to predict recurrence risk and prognosis of stage I LUAD.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent human cancer globally. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-based systemic chemotherapy is the primary strategy for advanced CRC treatment, yet is limited by poor response rate. Deregulated activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is fundamental to driving CRC malignant transformation and a poor prognostic marker for CRC, underscoring STAT3 as a promising CRC drug target.

    Abstract The protective roles of extracellular vesicles derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells against oxazolone-induced damage in the immortalized human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT were investigated. The cells were pretreated with or without UCMSC-derived extracellular vesicles 24 h before oxazolone exposure. The pretreated UVMSC-EVs showed protective activity, elevating cell viability, reducing intracellular ROS, and reducing the changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential compared to the cells with a direct oxazolone treatment alone. The UCMSC-EVs exhibited anti-inflammatory activity via reducing the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α. A mechanism study showed that the UCMSC-EVs increased the protein expression levels of SIRT1 and P53 and reduced P65 protein expression. It was concluded that UVMSC-EVs can induce the antioxidant defense systems of HaCaT cells and that they may have potential as functional ingredients in anti-aging cosmetics for skin care.

    Abstract NME3 is a member of the nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) family localized on the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). Here, we report a role of NME3 in hypoxia-induced mitophagy dependent on its active site phosphohistidine but not the NDPK function. Mice carrying a knock-in mutation in the Nme3 gene disrupting NME3 active site histidine phosphorylation are vulnerable to ischemia/reperfusion-induced infarction and develop abnormalities in cerebellar function. Our mechanistic analysis reveals that hypoxia-induced phosphatidic acid (PA) on mitochondria is essential for mitophagy and the interaction of DRP1 with NME3. The PA binding function of MOM-localized NME3 is required for hypoxia-induced mitophagy. Further investigation demonstrates that the interaction with active NME3 prevents DRP1 susceptibility to MUL1-mediated ubiquitination, thereby allowing a sufficient amount of active DRP1 to mediate mitophagy. Furthermore, MUL1 overexpression suppresses hypoxia-induced mitophagy, which is reversed by co-expression of ubiquitin-resistant DRP1 mutant or histidine phosphorylatable NME3. Thus, the site-specific interaction with active NME3 provides DRP1 a microenvironment for stabilization to proceed the segregation process in mitophagy.

    Abstract Background: Non-classical multiple aldosterone-producing micronodules/nodules (mAPM/mAPN) could be the pathogenesis of primary aldosteronism (PA). The co-existence of mAPM with adenomas harboring somatic mutations has not previously been reported.
    Methods: We presented a PA patient with bilateral mAPM and concomitant autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS).
    Results: A 46-year-old Taiwanese woman presented with hypertension, hypokalemia, and bilateral adrenal adenomas. A 1 mg low-dose dexamethasone suppression test showed elevated morning serum cortisol. An adrenal vein sampling (AVS) suggested a left-sided lateralization of hyperaldosteronism. A right partial adrenalectomy and a left total adrenalectomy were performed. The patient showed biochemical and hypertension remission after the operation. This patient had bilateral mAPM with concomitant ACS, a right histopathologically classical PA adenoma, and a left non-classical PA adenoma. The right adrenal adenoma showed CYP11B1-negative and CYP11B2-positive staining and harbored the
    Conclusion: In a PA patient with concomitant ACS, bilateral APM could coexist with both histopathologically classical and non-classical PA adenomas, each with different somatic mutations. The presence of ACS could lead to the misinterpretation of AVS results.
