    Abstract Background: Patients with chronic liver disease were found nearly all to have liver fibrosis, which is characterized by excess accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. While ECM accumulation can prevent liver infection and injury, it can destroy normal liver function and architecture. miRNA's own regulation was involved in DNA methylation change. The purpose of this study is to detect DNA methylation landscape of miRNAs genes in mice liver fibrosis tissues.
    Methods: Male mice (10-12 weeks) were injected CCl
    Results: There are 769 differential methylation sites (DMS) in total between fibrotic liver tissue and normal mice liver tissue, which were related with 148 different miRNA genes. Chips array data were confirmed by bisulfite sequencing polymerase chain reaction (R = 0.953; P < 0.01). GO analysis of the target genes of 2 miRNA revealed that protein binding, cytoplasm and chromatin binding activity were commonly enriched; KEGG pathway enrichment analysis displayed that TGF-beta signaling pathway was commonly enriched.
    Conclusion: The DNA of 148 miRNA genes was found to have methylation change in liver fibrosis tissue. These discoveries in miRNA genes are beneficial to future miRNA function research in liver fibrosis.

    Abstract Considerable progress has been made in understanding the function of alveolar epithelial cells in a quiescent state and regeneration mechanism after lung injury. Lung injury occurs commonly from severe viral and bacterial infections, inhalation lung injury, and indirect injury sepsis. A series of pathological mechanisms caused by excessive injury, such as apoptosis, autophagy, senescence, and ferroptosis, have been studied. Recovery from lung injury requires the integrity of the alveolar epithelial cell barrier and the realization of gas exchange function. Regeneration mechanisms include the participation of epithelial progenitor cells and various niche cells involving several signaling pathways and proteins. While alveoli are damaged, alveolar type II (AT2) cells proliferate and differentiate into alveolar type I (AT1) cells to repair the damaged alveolar epithelial layer. Alveolar epithelial cells are surrounded by various cells, such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and various immune cells, which affect the proliferation and differentiation of AT2 cells through paracrine during alveolar regeneration. Besides, airway epithelial cells also contribute to the repair and regeneration process of alveolar epithelium. In this review, we mainly discuss the participation of epithelial progenitor cells and various niche cells involving several signaling pathways and transcription factors.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the potential plasma miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (OP) and osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF).
    Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design, and the microarray dataset GSE93883 was acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to assess plasma miRNA profiles in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (OP) and osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). Subsequently, plasma microRNA-4739 (miR-4739) and Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-4 (IGFBP-4) levels were validated in a well-defined cohort comprising 210 postmenopausal women. This cohort consisted of three distinct groups: healthy controls (HC, n = 70), OP patients (n = 70), and OVF patients (n = 70).
    Results: Analysis of the GSE93883 dataset revealed a stepwise increase in four miRNAs (hsa-miR-4739, hsa-miR-4505, hsa-miR-4459, hsa-miR-665) in plasma samples from HC to OP patients to OVF patients. Conversely, plasma miR-4666a-3p showed a gradual decrease. We predicted six genes targeted by miR-4739 using six online databases. Plasma miR-4739 levels were significantly higher in OP and OVF patients compared to HC, especially in OVF patients. However, plasma IGFBP-4 exhibited an inverse pattern. Pearson analysis demonstrated a significant negative correlation between plasma miR-4739 and plasma IGFBP-4 in OP and OVF patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of plasma miR-4739 yielded a sensitivity of 35.71% and specificity of 95.71% for predicting the presence of OP and a sensitivity of 71.43% and specificity of 95.71% for predicting OVF, with an AUC of 0.865. Moreover, the area under the curve (AUC) for IGFBP-4 was higher than that for plasma miR-4739 when differentiating OP patients from OVF patients.
    Conclusions: Circulating miR-4739 and IGFBP-4 demonstrated a negative correlation in OP and OVF patients, suggesting their potential as diagnostic biomarkers for OP and OVF in the future.

    Abstract Background: Quality control (QC) in the laboratory aims to reduce the risk of harm to a patient due to erroneous results, as highlighted by the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidance for Statistical Quality Control (SQC) (C24-Ed4). To effectively reduce patient risk, a convenient spreadsheet tool was developed to assist laboratories in SQC design based on patient risk parameters.
    Methods: In accordance with Parvin's patient risk model and the mathematical formula for calculating the expected number of unreliable final patient results [E(N
    Results: A convenient spreadsheet tool is proposed in this study. After the quality requirements, performance parameters, practical run size, QC rules and the number of QC results of test items are input, the laboratory is enabled to quickly obtain MaxE(N
    Conclusions: Convenient spreadsheet tools can be adopted by laboratories to assess the risks of QC strategies and design appropriate risk-based SQC strategies to reduce patient risk to acceptable levels.

    Abstract Background: To determine the predictive value of serum abnormal prothrombin (PIVKA-II) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) for the non-objective response of HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
    Methods: This prospective study included HBV-associated HCC patients who underwent TACE at the Fourth People's Hospital of Qinghai Province between December 2021 and July 2022. According to contrast-enhanced ultrasound and upper abdomen contrast-enhanced MRI, the patients were divided into the objective response group and the non-objective response group 3 months after TACE.
    Results: There were 54 patients, of whom 31 experienced non-objective responses. The PIVKA-II levels in the objective response group were significantly lower than in the non-objective response group at 1 month [352.00 (142.16-722.54) vs. 528.58(241.32-1681.23) mAU/ml, P = 0.005] and 3 months [28.96 (20.01-42.49) vs. 2082.55 (52.63-10 057.30) mAU/ml, P = 0.016] after TACE. The Spearman rank correlation analysis showed no significant correlation between PIVKA-II and AFP (r = 0.315, P > 0.05). The areas under the curve (AUCs) of AFP and PIVKA-II before TACE were 0.632 and 0.529. One month after TACE, the AUC of PIVKA-II combined with AFP (AUC = 0.787) was higher than for PIVKA-II (AUC = 0.658) and AFP (AUC = 0.749).
    Conclusion: PIVKA-II does not outperform AFP in predicting non-objective response after TACE in HCC patients. The combination of PIVKA-II and AFP might improve the diagnosis of HCC non-objective response after TACE.

    Abstract Summary: The liver possesses a unique regenerative ability to restore its original mass, in this regard, partial hepatectomy (PHx) and partial liver transplantation (PLTx) can be executed smoothly and safely, which has important implications for the treatment of liver disease. Liver regeneration (LR) can be the very complicated procedure that involves multiple cytokines and transcription factors that interact with each other to activate different signaling pathways. Activation of these pathways can drive the LR process, which can be divided into three stages, namely, the initiation, progression, and termination stages. Therefore, it is important to investigate the pathways involved in LR to elucidate the mechanism of LR. This study reviews the latest research on the key signaling pathways in the different stages of LR.
