    Abstract Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is regarded as an important risk factor for obesity-related diseases. The results of the association between VAT and total testosterone (TT) are controversial and whether this association is nonlinear is still unknown. 3971 male participants who were aged 20-59 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2011-2016 were included. VAT area was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. TT in serum was assessed utilizing the isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technique. Linear regression models assessed the associations between VAT area and TT. A restricted cubic spline model was employed to investigate nonlinear relationships. A two-piecewise linear regression model was applied to determine the threshold effect. Subgroup analyses were conducted. The weighted methods were utilized in all analyses. VAT area was inversely associated with TT in the crude and adjusted models. In the fully adjusted model, VAT area was associated with TT (β = -0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.74, -0.43) and compared to the first tertile of VAT area, the second and the third tertile had a lower TT level, the β and 95% CI = -65.49 (-83.72, -47.25) and -97.57 (-121.86, -73.27) respectively. We found these inverse associations were nonlinear. The cutoff point of the VAT area was 126 cm

    Abstract (1) Background: The relative efficacy and safety of brigatinib compared with other next-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors remains unclear, as first-line head-to-head trials have not been conducted. (2) Methods: Electronic databases were systematically searched for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCT) from January 2010 to October 2021. Outcomes evaluated by indirect treatment comparison (ITC) included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety. (3) Results: Nine RCTs with 2484 patients assessing crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, ensartinib, and lorlatinib were included. In intent-to-treat (ITT) patients, brigatinib significantly prolonged blinded independent review committee-assessed PFS compared with crizotinib (HR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.35 to 0.66) and ceritinib (HR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.23, 0.60) and had a comparable PFS with other 2nd-generation ALK inhibitors. Subgroup analyses of patients with baseline brain metastases and Asian patients yielded results similar to the base case. Brigatinib significantly reduced the risk of death compared with crizotinib (HR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.28, 0.87) after adjusting for treatment crossover in the crizotinib arm. No significant differences were observed in OS between brigatinib and other next-generation ALK inhibitors. Brigatinib had significantly superior effects in ORR and intracranial ORR compared to crizotinib. The incidence of grade ≥3 AEs was similar between brigatinib and other next-generation ALK inhibitors (except for alectinib), while brigatinib could significantly delay the time to worsening in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) global health status (GHS)/quality of life (QoL) vs. crizotinib (HR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.49, 0.98). (4) Conclusions: Brigatinib had longer PFS compared to crizotinib and ceritinib and had comparable efficacy and safety profile with other 2nd-generation ALK inhibitors in first-line ...

    Abstract Autophagy is a form of programmed cell degradation that enables the maintenance of homeostasis in response to extracellular stress stimuli. Autophagy is primarily activated by starvation and mediates the degradation, removal, or recycling of cell cytoplasm, organelles, and intracellular components in eukaryotic cells. Autophagy is also involved in the pathogenesis of human diseases, including several cancers. Human uveal melanoma (UM) is the primary intraocular malignancy in adults and has an extremely poor prognosis; at present there are no effective therapies. Several studies have suggested that autophagy is important in UM. By understanding the mechanisms of activation of autophagy in UM it may be possible to develop biomarkers to provide more definitive disease prognoses and to identify potential drug targets for the development of new therapeutic strategies. This article reviews the current information regarding autophagy in UM that could facilitate biomarker and drug development.

    Abstract High mountain freshwater systems are particularly sensitive to the impacts of global warming and relevant environmental changes. Microorganisms contribute substantially to biogeochemical processes, yet their distribution patterns and driving mechanism in alpine streams remain understudied. Here, we examined the bacterial and fungal community compositions in stream biofilm along the elevational gradient of 745-1874 m on Mt. Kilimanjaro and explored their alpha and beta diversity patterns and the underlying environmental drivers. We found that the species richness and evenness monotonically increased towards higher elevations for bacteria, while were non-significant for fungi. However, both bacterial and fungal communities showed consistent elevational distance-decay relationships, i.e., the dissimilarity of assemblage composition increased with greater elevational differences. Bacterial alpha diversity patterns were mainly affected by chemical variables such as total nitrogen and phosphorus, while fungi were affected by physical variables such as riparian shading and stream width. Notably, climatic variables such as mean annual temperature strongly affected the elevational succession of bacterial and fungal community compositions. Our study is the first exploration of microbial biodiversity and their underlying driving mechanisms for stream ecosystems in tropical alpine regions. Our findings provide insights on the response patterns of tropical aquatic microbial community composition and diversity under climate change.

    Abstract Objectives: Retinal Müller glial cell loss is almost involved in all retinal diseases, especially diabetic retinopathy (DR). Oxidative stress significantly contributes to the development of Müller glial cell loss. Ginkgo biloba extracts (GBE) have been reported to possess antioxidant property, beneficial in treating human retinal diseases. However, little is known about its role in Müller glial cells. This study investigated the protective effect of GBE (prepared from ginkgo biloba dropping pills) in human Müller glial cells against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative stress and its underlying molecular mechanism.
    Methods: MIO-M1 cells were pretreated with or without GBE prior to the exposure to t-BHP-induced oxidative stress. Cell viability, cell death profile and lipid peroxidation were subsequently assessed. Protein expression of the key anti-oxidative signalling factors were investigated.
    Key findings: We showed that GBE can effectively protect human MIO-M1 cells from t-BHP-induced oxidative injury by improving cell viability, reducing intracellular ROS accumulation and suppressing lipid peroxidation, which effect is likely mediated through activating AMPK-Nrf2-NQO-1 antioxidant respondent axis.
    Conclusions: Our study is the first to reveal the great potentials of GBE in protecting human retinal Müller glial cell loss against oxidative stress. GBE might be used to prevent human retinal diseases particularly DR.

    Abstract Double-layer quantum systems are promising platforms for realizing novel quantum phases. Here, we report a study of quantum oscillations (QOs) in a weakly coupled double-layer system composed of a large-angle twisted-double-bilayer graphene (TDBG). We quantify the interlayer coupling strength by measuring the interlayer capacitance from the QOs pattern at low temperatures, revealing electron-hole asymmetry. At high temperatures when SdHOs are thermally smeared, we observe resistance peaks when Landau levels (LLs) from two moiré minivalleys are aligned, regardless of carrier density; eventually, it results in a 2-fold increase of oscillating frequency in

    Abstract The pivotal roles of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in drug resistance have been widely appreciated. Here we report that marein, a natural product from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt, is a potent chemo-sensitizer in drug resistant cancer cells overexpressing ABCG2 transporter. We demonstrate that marein can competitively inhibit efflux activity of ABCG2 protein and increase the intracellular accumulation of the chemotherapeutic drugs that belong to substrate of this transporter. We further show that marein can bind to the conserved amino acid residue F439 of ABCG2, a critical site for drug-substrate interaction. Moreover, marein can significantly sensitize the ABCG2-expressing tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs such as topotecan, mitoxantrone, and olaparib. This study reveals a novel role and mechanism of marein in modulating drug resistance, and may have important implications in treatment of cancers that are resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs that belong to the substrates of ABCG2 transporters.
