    Abstract The association of low prognostic nutritional index (PNI) with adverse outcomes remains conflicting in heart failure patients. To address these knowledge gaps, we performed this meta-analysis to investigate the predictive value of PNI in patients with heart failure (HF). PubMed and Embase databases were comprehensively searched until January 19, 2023, to identify studies that evaluated the predictive role of PNI in HF patients. Outcomes of interest included all-cause mortality and/or combined endpoint of mortality and re-hospitalization. Twelve studies involving 9365 patients with HF were included and analyzed. Comparison of the lowest with the highest PNI, the pooled multivariate adjusted risk ratio (RR) was 1.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.40-2.30) and 2.67 (95% CI 1.92-3.71) for long-term all-cause mortality and combined endpoint of mortality and re-hospitalization, respectively. Furthermore, per unit reduction in PNI was associated with 8% higher risk of all-cause mortality. However, there was no clear association of low PNI with in-hospital mortality. Low PNI may be an independent predictor of long-term all-cause mortality and re-hospitalization in patients with HF. Estimation of nutritional state using the PNI may provide an important clue for risk stratification in these patients.

    Abstract This study investigated whether microbubbles activated by low-frequency ultrasound enhanced the anti-tumor effects of curcumin in glioma cells. CCK8 proliferation assay, scratch migration assay, and transwell invasion assay were performed to estimate the proliferation, migration, and invasion rates of the glioma cells in blank control and different treatment groups, respectively. Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was performed to determine the relative expression levels of VEGF and NCAM mRNAs in the various experimental groups. Western blotting was performed to determine the activity status of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway in various groups of glioma cells by estimating the expression levels of p-SMAD2/3, VEGF, and NCAM proteins. Combined treatment (Cur-Us-MBs) with microbubbles activated by low-frequency ultrasound and curcumin significantly reduced the in vitro proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of glioma cells compared to the control and other treatment groups. Furthermore, Cur-Us-MBs significantly reduced the expression levels of VEGF and NCAM mRNAs and proteins and p-Smad2/3 proteins , including those cells stimulated with rhTGF-β. These suggested that microbubbles activated by low-frequency ultrasound enhanced the inhibition of TGF-β1/Smad/VEGF/NCAM signaling pathway by curcumin,and enhanced the antitumor effects of curcumin by significantly reducing in vitro proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of glioma cells through this pathway.

    Abstract The potential prebiotic feature of Bletilla striata polysaccharides (BSP) has been widely accepted, while the beneficial effect of BSP on high-fat-diet-induced obesity is unclear. Moreover, the "crosstalk" between microbiota and metabolomic profile in high-fat-diet-induced obese mice supplemented with BSP still need to be further explored. The present study attempted to illustrate the effect of BSP and/or composite polysaccharides on high-fat-diet-induced obese mice by combining multi-matrix (feces, urine, liver) metabolomics and gut microbiome. The results showed that BSP and/or composite polysaccharides were able to reduce the abnormal weight gain induced by high-fat diet. A total of 175 molecules were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (

    Abstract Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an acute, highly infectious, and immunosuppressive disease caused by the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), which interferes with the immune system, causes hypoimmunity and seriously threatens the healthy development of the poultry industry. Adaptive immune response, an important defense line of host resistance to pathogen infection, is the host-specific immune response mainly mediated by T and B lymphocytes. As an important immunosuppressive pathogen in poultry, IBDV infection is closely related to the injury of the adaptive immune system. In this review, we focus on recent advances in adaptive immune response influenced by IBDV infection, especially the damage on immune organs, as well as the effect on humoral immune response and cellular immune response, hoping to provide a theoretical basis for further exploration of the molecular mechanism of immunosuppression induced by IBDV infection and the establishment of novel prevention and control measures for IBD.

    Abstract A consensus has not been reached on the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with adverse outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize the prognostic implication of MetS in patients with stable CAD. We comprehensively searched articles indexing in PubMed and Embase databases until August 14, 2022. Original studies investigating the association of MetS with adverse outcomes in patients with stable CAD were included. Seven studies including 32 736 patients with stable CAD were identified. Depending on the definition of MetS, the reported prevalence of MetS ranged from 23.4% to 63%. Meta-analysis showed that patients with MetS conferred an increased risk of all-cause mortality [risk ratio (RR) 1.22; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.15-1.19], cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.49; 95% CI 1.16-1.92), and MACEs defined by death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, cardiac arrest, or angina admission (RR 1.47; 95% CI 1.20-1.79), respectively. Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis indicated the robustness of the value of MetS in prediction of all-cause mortality. MetS may be an independently predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with stable CAD. However, future studies are required to consolidate the current evidence due to the small number of studies included.

    Abstract Abstract Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination has been a worldwide environmental issue because of its impact on ecosystems and human health. Biodegradation plays an important role in PAH removal in natural environments. To date, many PAH-degrading strains and degradation genes have been reported. However, a comprehensive PAH-degrading gene database is still lacking, hindering a deep understanding of PAH degraders in the era of big data. Furthermore, the relationships between the PAH-catabolic genotype and phenotype remain unclear. Results Here, we established a bacterial PAH-degrading gene database and explored PAH biodegradation capability via a genome-function relationship approach. The investigation of functional genes in the experimentally verified PAH degraders indicated that genes encoding hydratase-aldolase could serve as a biomarker for preliminarily identifying potential degraders. Additionally, a genome-centric interpretation of PAH-degrading genes was performed in the public genome database, demonstrating that they were ubiquitous in Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. Meanwhile, the global phylogenetic distribution was generally consistent with the culture-based evidence. Notably, a few strains affiliated with the genera without any previously known PAH degraders (Hyphomonas, Hoeflea, Henriciella, Saccharomonospora, Sciscionella, Tepidiphilus, and Xenophilus) also bore a complete PAH-catabolic gene cluster, implying their potential of PAH biodegradation. Moreover, a random forest analysis was applied to predict the PAH-degrading trait in the complete genome database, revealing 28 newly predicted PAH degraders, of which nine strains encoded a complete PAH-catabolic pathway. Conclusions Our results established a comprehensive PAH-degrading gene database and a genome-function relationship approach, which revealed several potential novel PAH-degrader lineages. Importantly, this genome-centric and function-oriented approach can overcome the bottleneck of conventional ...

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal, combined with postoperative individualized health education and rehabilitation training concerning hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. We also assessed its impact on rebleeding prevention and neurological function recovery.
    Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including 90 patients diagnosed with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in our hospital between March 2020 and June 2022. The inclusion criteria were patients with an episcleral hematoma volume exceeding 30 ml. The control group underwent minimally invasive removal using neuroendoscopy (45 patients), while the observation group received stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal (45 patients). After surgery, both groups received individualized health education and rehabilitation training. The assessment included: (1) determination of clinical efficacy, (2) monitoring for rebleeding within 72 hours after surgery, (3) evaluation of daily living ability using the Barthel index, (4) assessment of motor function using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale, and (5) monitoring for adverse reactions.
    Results: The observation group, which underwent stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal combined with postoperative individualized health education and rehabilitation training, exhibited significantly better clinical efficacy, Barthel index scores, and FMA scores compared to the control group that underwent neuroendoscopic minimally invasive removal (P < .05). Notably, no complications were observed in either group, and there was no significant difference in the postoperative bleeding rate within 72 hours.
    Conclusions: The combined treatment approach of stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal and postoperative individualized health education and rehabilitation training demonstrates promising therapeutic effects in managing hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. This approach also contributes significantly to the rehabilitation of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, warranting widespread clinical adoption.
