    Abstract The objective of this study is to explore the specific roles of a crucial N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase, methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14), in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) activation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA rat model was induced by administering intraperitoneally collagen antibody alcohol. Primary fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) were isolated from joint synovium tissues in rats. shRNA transfection tools were used to downregulate METTL14 expression in vivo and vitro. The injury of joint synovium was shown by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The cell apoptosis of FLSs was determined by flow cytometry. The levels of IL-6, IL-18, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)10 in serum and culture supernatants were measured by ELISA kits. The expressions of LIM and SH3 domain protein 1 (LASP1), p-SRC/SRC, and p-AKT/AKT in FLSs and joint synovium tissues were determined by Western blots. The expression of METTL14 was greatly induced in the synovium tissues of RA rats compared with normal control rats. Compared with sh-NC-treated FLSs, METTL14 knockdown significantly increased cell apoptosis, inhibited cell migration and invasion, and suppressed the production of IL-6, IL-18, and CXCL10 induced by TNF-α. METTL14 silencing suppresses the expression of LASP1 and the activation of Src/AKT axis induced by TNF-α in FLSs. METTL14 improves the mRNA stability of LASP1 through m6A modification. In contrast, these were reversed by LASP1 overexpression. Moreover, METTL14 silencing clearly alleviates FLSs activation and inflammation in a RA rat model. These results suggested that METTL14 promotes FLSs activation and related inflammatory response via the LASP1/SRC/AKT signaling pathway and identified METTL14 as a potential target for treating RA.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the effect of decompressive craniectomy (DC) on the recovery of neurological function, daily living ability and life quality of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after surgery.
    Methods: Totally 290 patients with ICH admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively enrolled and assigned to two groups according to different surgical methods. Among them, 138 patients who received craniotomy evacuation of hematoma (CEH) only were assigned to a control group (Con group), while the other 152 who received CEH combined with DC to a research group (Res group). The two groups were compared in the total effective rate, hematoma clearance rate, and complication rate. Additionally, the ICP and MMP-9 levels after surgery, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), activities of daily living (ADL), Fugl-Meyer Assessment of motor function (FMA), Glasgow outcome scale (GOS), Glasgow coma scale (GCS), and MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores before and after surgery were also compared between the two groups.
    Results: After treatment, the Res group showed a notably higher total effective rate, hematoma clearance rate, and a notably lower complication rate than the Con group. On postoperative day 3 and 7, the Res group showed notably lower ICP than the Con group, and on postoperative day 7, the Res group showed a notably lower MMP-9 level as compared with the Con group. Additionally, 6 months after the surgery, the Res group got notably lower NIHSS scores and higher ADL, GOS, and SF-36 scores as compared with the Con group, and at 1 month after surgery, the Res group got notably higher FMA scores as compared to the Con group. Moreover, on postoperative day 7, the Res group got notably higher GCS scores than the Con group.
    Conclusion: DC can improve the recovery of neurological function, daily living ability and life quality of patients with ICH after surgery.

    Abstract Reactions of arylidene-isoxazol-5-ones with intermediates from palladium-catalysed decarboxylation of allyl carbamates proceeded through aza-Michael addition and N-allylation to give the corresponding bis-adducts, β-amido-N-allylated products, in good yields. In similar reactions with 4-vinyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one, a cyclic allyl carbamate, C-allylation took place to yield a series of spiro[isoxazole-4,3'-quinolin]-5-ones in high yields. Regio-selective N- versus C-allylation is illustrated to occur in an inter- versus intra-molecular fashion. The structure and stereochemistry of these products are determined by NMR spectroscopy and further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. This work offers an excellent method for the preparation of various substituted isoxazol-5-ones.

    Abstract Summary: To explore the safety and efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in the treatment of patients with type B aortic dissection, and to evaluate the risk factors for long-term mortality. Our study retrospectively evaluated 729 patients with type B aortic dissection, who were divided into the thoracic endovascular aortic repair group and the optimal medical treatment group according to their treatment. In-hospital mortality, death within 30 days, and aortic-related mortality were lower in the thoracic endovascular aortic repair group than in the optimal medical treatment group (p < 0.05). The cumulative overall survival rates for the thoracic endovascular aortic repair group at 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years were 92.5%, 84.1%, and 73.5%, respectively. The Cox analysis found that TEVAR was beneficial in reducing mortality and that a vertical length of the dissection exceeding 150 mm was a risk factor for mortality.

    Abstract Steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is a mainly bilateral complication of steroid therapy that involves extensive necrosis, and frequently occurs in young and middle-aged individuals, with a high disability rate. Autophagy is an intracellular lysosomal degradation process occurring in numerous diseases. However, the effect of dexamethasone (DXM)-induced autophagy on osteoblasts is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of autophagy on SANFH. In the present study, femoral head of SANFH patients was collected, and the autophagy in the samples was evaluated. In addition, cell proliferation, membrane integrity and differentiation of osteoblasts were also detected to confirm the effect of DXM on a mouse osteoblasts cell MC3T3-E1

    Abstract The molecular clock model is fundamental for inferring species divergence times from molecular sequences. However, its direct application may introduce significant biases due to sequencing errors, recombination events, and inaccurately labeled sampling times. Improving accuracy necessitates rigorous quality control measures to identify and remove potentially erroneous sequences. Furthermore, while not all branches of a phylogenetic tree may exhibit a clear temporal signal, specific branches may still adhere to the assumptions, with varying evolutionary rates. Supporting a relaxed molecular clock model better aligns with the complexities of evolution. The root-to-tip regression method has been widely used to analyze the temporal signal in phylogenetic studies and can be generalized for detecting other phylogenetic signals. Despite its utility, there remains a lack of corresponding software implementations for broader applications. To address this gap, we present shinyTempSignal, an interactive web application implemented with the shiny framework, available as an R package and publicly accessible at https://github.com/YuLab-SMU/shinyTempSignal. This tool facilitates the analysis of temporal and other phylogenetic signals under both strict and relaxed models. By extending the root-to-tip regression method to diverse signals, shinyTempSignal helps in the detection of evolving features or traits, thereby laying the foundation for deeper insights and subsequent analyses.

    Abstract The purpose of the present study is to explore the mechanism of IL-12-induced nuclear import of signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4). Assayed by analyses of homology alignment of STATs, amino acids 395-416 in DNA binding domain was found to be a potential dimer-specific nuclear localization signal (dsNLS) of STAT4. Therefore, several plasmids were constructed. Wild-type STAT4 was inserted into the SalI and BamHI sites of pEGFP-C1 for the construction of plasmid pEGFP-STAT4. The DNA fragment of STAT4 with the deletion of amino acids 395-416 was amplified by RCR and introduced into the SalI and BamHI sites of pEGFP-C1 which was named pEGFP-STAT4-Del. Classic NLS DNA sequence of SV40 T antigen was inserted into the XhoI and HindIII sites of pEGFP-C1. This plasmid was named as pEGFP-NLS and used as a positive control. Plasmid pEGFP-NLS-STAT4-Del was constructed by inserting STAT4-Del into SalI and BamHI sites of pEGFP-NLS. These plasmids were transiently transfected into Caski cells, respectively. The results showed that, after these transfected cells were stimulated by IL-12, wild type STAT4 existed in the cytoplasm at 0 min, and was predominantly localized to the nucleus at 45 min, and distributed in both cytoplasm and nucleus at 60 min, suggesting that STAT4 translocates from cytoplasm into nucleus and finally re-entries into the cytoplasm during the stimulation of IL-12. However, deletion mutant of STAT4 was arrested in cytoplasm during the IL-12 stimulation. Leptomycin B, which specifically blocks protein export from nucleus into cytoplasm, was used to further demonstrate whether STAT4-Del is transferred into nucleus even with stimulation of IL-12. After the transfected cells were pre-treated by leptomycin B, the wild type STAT4 was mainly localized in nucleus after the IL-12 stimulation, suggesting that STAT4 was translocated from cytoplasm into nucleus by the stimulation of IL-12. On the other hand, the deletion mutant of STAT4 distributed in cytoplasm throughout, implying that the mutant STAT4 lacking of amino acids 395-416 cannot move into nucleus. Furthermore, the insertion of classic NLS into EGFP-STAT4-Del restored nuclear import of STAT4-Del. These results suggest the amino acids 395-416 is a dsNLS mediating IL-12-stimulated nuclear import of activated STAT4.
