    Abstract A rising number of patient cases point to a probable link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and Parkinson's disease (PD), yet the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 affects the brain and generates neuropsychiatric symptoms in COVID-19 patients remain unknown. Ferroptosis, a distinct iron-dependent non-apoptotic type of cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation and glutathione depletion, a key factor in neurological disorders. Ferroptosis may have a pathogenic role in COVID-19, according to recent findings, however its potential contributions to COVID-19-related PD have not yet been investigated. This review covers potential paths for SARS-CoV-2 infection of the brain. Among these putative processes, ferroptosis may contribute to the etiology of COVID-19-associated PD, potentially providing therapeutic methods.

    Abstract Purpose: To grade the pathological response of lymph nodes (LNs) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) and investigate its prognostic significance.
    Methods: This retrospective study included 196 patients who underwent NAC, followed by radical gastrectomy for LAGC between January 2010 and October 2019. Pathological responses were evaluated based on the proportion of residual tumor cells within the tumor area in the primary tumor (PT) and LNs and included the following categories: 1a (0%), 1b (< 10%), 2 (10-50%), and 3 (> 50%).
    Results: Among 166 patients with clinically node-positive disease, 38/27/39/62 were classified as having LN regression grade (LRG) 1a/1b/2/3, respectively. Compared to LN non-responders (LRG 2 or 3), LN responders (LRG 1a or 1b) had significantly higher 5-year overall survival (72.5% vs. 19.0%, P < 0.001) and recurrence-free survival rates (67.8% vs. 22.2%, P < 0.001), irrespective of PT response. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis revealed that the LN response was an independent risk factor for the overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.417, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.181-0.962, P = 0.040) and recurrence-free survival (HR 0.490, 95% CI 0.242-0.991, P = 0.047), but not the PT response (P > 0.05).
    Conclusions: The pathological LN response may be a reliable prognostic prediction tool in patients with LAGC who received NAC.

    Abstract OTUD5 (OTU Deubiquitinase 5) is a functional cysteine protease with deubiquitinase activity and is a member of the ovarian tumor protease (OTU) family. OTUD5 is involved in the deubiquitination of many key proteins in various cellular signaling pathways and plays an important role in maintaining normal human development and physiological functions. Its dysfunction can affect physiological processes, such as immunity and DNA damage repair, and it can even lead to tumors, inflammatory diseases and genetic disorders. Therefore, the regulation of OTUD5 activity and expression has become a hot topic of research. A comprehensive understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of OTUD5 and its use as a therapeutic target for diseases is of great value. Herein, we review the physiological processes and molecular mechanisms of OTUD5 regulation, outline the specific regulatory processes of OTUD5 activity and expression, and link OTUD5 to diseases from the perspective of studies on signaling pathways, molecular interactions, DNA damage repair and immune regulation, thus providing a theoretical basis for future studies.

    Abstract During the chemical manufacturing control processing of new paclitaxel formulations, a photodegradation impurity called C3-C11 bridge-bond isomer appeared. Our work describes the synthesis, isolation, purification, and structural characterization methods using four spectroscopies: FT-IR, UV, NMR (1H and 13 C), and LC-MS. In addition, we discovered that the C3-C11 bridge-bond isomer can promote A549 cells pyroptosis, and increase pyroptosis-related proteins, including cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-PARP, GSDME-N, and lactate dehydrogenase, thus making it anti-tumor effects. The study offered data suggesting that the C3-C11 bridge bond isomer may be used as an anti-tumour drug in the future.

    Abstract Alkaline soil is widely distributed in China. Its rational utilization is an effective measure to solve land shortage and improve the environment. Alfalfa is characterized by strong salt and alkali tolerance and high yield and protein content. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the main nutrients for plant growth, and N metabolism is one of the primary forms of plant metabolism, which plays a vital role in quality and yield formation. The exploration of the effect of N and P on N metabolism and alfalfa growth will provide a theoretical basis for scientific fertilization for alfalfa in the alkaline soil of the Yinchuan Plain of the Hetao Basin. Therefore, a 2-year experiment of N and P addition was conducted. Six treatments were set up with a randomized block design, including without N (WN), medium N (MN), high N (HN), without P (WP), medium P (MP), and high P (HP). It was found that the MN and MP treatments increased plant height, stem diameter, stem/leaf, dry/fresh, and dry matter of alfalfa. The HN and HP treatments inhibited alfalfa biomass formation. The MN and MP treatments increased key products and enzymes of leaf N metabolism of alfalfa and promoted activities of leaf nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthase (GS), glutamate synthase (GOGAT), glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), and glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (GPT), and inhibited activities of leaf protease of alfalfa. The MN and MP treatments increased contents of leaf N, P, ammonium nitrogen (NH

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic that has caused widespread loss of life. Notably, in this disease, severe inflammatory reactions characterized by cytokine storms are caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The cytokine storms may promote hyper-ferritinemia which can further intensify the inflammation. Moreover, elevated ferritin levels trigger nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4)-mediated ferritinophagy, in which ferritin is degraded and iron is released. Excess iron released from ferritinophagy can promote ferroptosis and cellular damage. Therefore, we propose that NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy can be targeted to limit the ferroptosis and prevent the multi-organ damage and severity in COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Alkaline soil is widely distributed in China. Its rational utilization is an effective measure to solve land shortage and improve the environment.

The MN and MP treatments increased contents of leaf N, P, ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO3−-N), total chlorophyll, and protein and reduced leaf chlorophyll a/b and amino acid, results after HN and HP treatments were opposite. The correlation among leaf P, N, NO3−-N, amino acid, and protein reached significant levels (P < 0.01). It is suggested that MN and MP treatments can improve the yield and quality of alfalfa by increasing key products and enzymes of N metabolism and can be adopted to promote alfalfa production in the alkaline soil of the Yinchuan Plain of the Hetao Basin.

    Abstract OTU domain-containing protein 3 (OTUD3) knockout mice exhibited loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons and Parkinsonian symptoms. However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we observed that the inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was involved in this process. We found that the ER thickness and the expression of protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) were increased, and the apoptosis level was elevated in the dopaminergic neurons of OTUD3 knockout mice. These phenomena were ameliorated by ER stress inhibitor tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) treatment. The ratio of p-IRE1α/IRE1α, and the expression of X-box binding protein 1-spliced (XBP1s) were remarkably increased after OTUD3 knockdown, which was inhibited by IRE1α inhibitor STF-083010 treatment. Moreover, OTUD3 regulated the ubiquitination level of Fortilin through binding with the OTU domain. OTUD3 knockdown resulted in a decrease in the interaction ability of IRE1α with Fortilin and finally enhanced the activity of IRE1α. Taken together, we revealed that OTUD3 knockout-induced injury of dopaminergic neurons might be caused by activating IRE1α signaling in ER stress. These findings demonstrated that OTUD3 played a critical role in dopaminergic neuron neurodegeneration, which provided new evidence for the multiple and tissue-dependent functions of OTUD3.
