    Abstract Background: There is increasing evidence indicating that tea intake affects bone mineral density levels; however, the causality between tea intake and bone mineral density is inconclusive. This study aimed to assess the causal relationship between tea intake and total body bone mineral density (TB-BMD) through two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
    Methods: We conducted a two-sample MR approach to estimate the potential causal effects of tea intake on TB-BMD at all ages in a European population. The analyses were performed using summary statistics obtained for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identified from a genome-wide association meta-analysis of tea intake (
    Results: The MR analysis revealed that genetically determined tea intake exerts a causal impact on TB-BMD, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.204 (95% CI: 1.062-1.366,
    Conclusion: The findings of this study support the evidence that tea consumption increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis in the age group of 45-60 years within the European population.

    Abstract Deep neural networks (DNN) supported by multicenter large-scale Chest X-Ray (CXR) datasets can efficiently perform tasks such as disease identification, lesion segmentation, and report generation. However, the non-ignorable inter-domain heterogeneity caused by different equipment, ethnic groups, and scanning protocols may lead to dramatic degradation in model performance. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods help alleviate the cross-domain discrepancy for subsequent analysis. Nevertheless, they may be prone to: 1) spatial negative transfer: misaligning non-transferable regions which have inadequate knowledge, and 2) semantic negative transfer: failing to extend to scenarios where the label spaces of the source and target domain are partially shared. In this work, we propose a classification-based framework named attention-guided partial domain adaptation (AGPDA) network for overcoming these two negative transfer challenges. AGPDA is composed of two key modules: 1) a region attention discrimination block (RADB) to generate fine-grained attention value via lightweight region-wise multi-adversarial networks. 2) a residual feature recalibration block (RFRB) trained with class-weighted maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) loss for down-weighing the irrelevant source samples. Extensive experiments on two publicly available CXR datasets containing a total of 8598 pneumonia (viral, bacterial, and COVID-19) cases, 7163 non-pneumonia or healthy cases, demonstrate the superior performance of our AGPDA. Especially on three partial transfer tasks, AGPDA significantly increases the accuracy, sensitivity, and F1 score by 4.35%, 4.05%, and 1.78% compared to recently strong baselines.

    Abstract Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is a poorly prognostic malignant tumor, and the metastatic stage of cancer is not an early stage when diagnosed. Lymph node metastasis is common in the early stage. Ribosomal receptor for activated C-kinase 1 (RACK1) has found involved in the oncogenesis of various tumors and in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Nevertheless, its role in cholangiocarcinoma remains unknown.
    Material and methods: The possible correlation between RACK1 and tumor prognosis was analyzed in cholangiocarcinoma patients. The GEO and TCGA databases were used to evaluate the level of
    Results: The Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that low expression of RACK1 was associated with poor prognosis and RACK1 was negatively related to lymph node metastasis, which were verified in databases TCGA and GEO; downregulation of RACK1 via RNA interference correlated with changes in the expression of EMT biomarkers and promoted the migration of cholangiocarcinoma cell lines.
    Conclusion: The protein expression of RACK1 is significantly higher in cholangiocarcinoma tissues than in peritumoral tissues, however, the high RACK1 expression indicates better overall survival and less risk for lymph node metastasis.

    Abstract We demonstrate an artificial efferent nerve that distinguishes environment-responsive conditioned and unconditioned reflexes, i.e., hand-retraction reflex and muscle memory, respectively. These reflex modes are immediately switchable by altering the polarity of charge carriers in a parallel-channeled artificial synapse; this ability emulates multiplexed neurotransmission of different neurotransmitters to form glutamine-induced short-term plasticity and acetylcholine-induced long-term plasticity. This is the successful control of high-strength artificial muscle fibers by using an artificial efferent nerve to form a neuromuscular system that can realize curvature and force simultaneously and in which all these aspects far surpass currently available neuromuscular systems. Furthermore, the special four-quadrant information-processing mechanism of our artificial efferent nerve allows complex application extensions, i.e., relative-position tracking of sound sources, immediate switchable learning modes between fast information processing and long-term memory, and high-accuracy pattern cognition. This work is a step toward development of human-compatible artificial neuromuscular systems.

    Abstract Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a major cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Renal interstitial fibrosis is a hallmark of CKD progression. Non-invasive biomarkers are needed to dynamically evaluate renal fibrosis. Data independent acquisition (DIA)-based liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) was used to identify candidate urinary biomarkers in IgAN patients with different renal interstitial fibrosis degrees.
    Methods: Eighteen biopsy-proven IgAN patients and six healthy controls were recruited in a discovery cohort. Interstitial fibrosis changes were evaluated according to Oxford MEST-C scores. Urinary samples were analyzed with DIA-MS to identify hub proteins. Hub proteins were then confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in a validation cohort and the associated gene mRNA expression was analyzed using public gene expression omnibus (GEO) datasets.
    Results: Complement and coagulation cascades pathway was the main KEGG pathway related to the over-expressed proteins. Fibrinogen γ-Chain (FGG) was selected as the potential urinary marker for further validation. Urinary FGG to creatinine ratio (uFGG/Cr) levels were higher in both disease controls and IgAN group than in healthy controls, but were not significantly different between IgAN and disease groups. uFGG/Cr was confirmed to be increased with the extent of renal fibrosis and presented moderate correlations with T score (r = 0.614, p < 0.01) and eGFR (r = -0.682, p < 0.01), and a mild correlation with UTP (r = 0.497, p < 0.01) in IgAN group. In disease control group, uFGG/Cr was higher in patients with T1 + 2 compared to those with T0. uFGG/Cr had a good discriminatory power to distinguish different fibrosis stages in IgAN: interstitial fibrosis ≤ 5% (minimal fibrosis) vs. interstitial fibrosis (mild fibrosis) > 5%, AUC 0.743; T0 vs. T1 + 2, AUC 0.839; T0 + 1 vs. T2, AUC 0.854. In disease control group, uFGG/Cr showed better performance of AUC than UTP between minimal and mild fibrosis (p = 0.038 for Delong's test). Moreover, GSE104954 dataset showed that FGG mRNA expression was up-regulated (fold change 1.20, p = 0.009) in tubulointerstitium of IgAN patients when compared to healthy living kidney donors.
    Conclusion: Urinary FGG is associated with renal interstitial fibrosis and could be used as a noninvasive biomarker for renal fibrosis in IgAN.
