    Abstract In this study, we proposed a genosensor that can qualitatively and quantitatively detect genetically modified soybeans using a simple electrode with evenly distributed single layer gold nanoparticles. The DNA sensing electrode is made by sputtering a gold film on the substrate, and then sequentially depositing 1,6-hexanedithiol and gold nanoparticles with sulfur groups on the substrate. Then, the complementary to the CaMV 35S promoter (P35S) was used as the capture probe. The target DNA directly extracted from the genetically modified soybeans rather than the synthesized DNA segments was used to construct the detection standard curve. The experimental results showed that our genosensor could directly detect genetically modified genes extracted from soybeans. We obtained two percentage calibration curves. The calibration curve corresponding to the lower percentage range (1-6%) exhibits a sensitivity of 2.36 Ω/% with R

    Abstract Purpose: To validate the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression and distribution in human eyelid tissues and meibomian gland epithelial cells.
    Methods: Meibomian gland tissues from human eyelids were isolated by collagenase A digestion and cultured in defined keratinocyte serum-free medium (DKSFM). Infrared imaging was used to analyze the general morphology of meibomian glands. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and Oil Red O staining were used to observe the morphological structure and lipid secretion in the human meibomian gland tissues. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunostaining were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression and cytolocalization of ABCA1 in the meibomian gland tissues and cultured cells.
    Results: The degree of loss of human meibomian gland tissue was related to age. Meibomian gland lipid metabolism was also associated with age. Additionally, human meibomian gland tissues express ABCA1 mRNA and protein; glandular epithelial cells express more ABCA1 mRNA and protein than acinar cells, and their expression in acinar cells decreases with differentiation. Furthermore, the expression of ABCA1 was downregulated in abnormal meibomian gland tissues. ABCA1 was mainly localized on the cell membrane in primary human meibomian gland epithelial cells (pHMGECs), whereas it was localized in the cytoplasm of immortalized human meibomian gland epithelial cells (iHMGECs). The mRNA and protein levels of ABCA1 in pHMGECs were higher than those in iHMGECs.
    Conclusions: Meibomian gland tissues of the human eyelid degenerate with age. ABCA1 expression in acinar cells decreases after differentiation and plays an important role in meibomian gland metabolism.

    Abstract Objective: Individuals with hyperthyroidism are at an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the association between autoantibodies and AF or cardiovascular mortality in individuals who have returned to normal thyroid function remains unclear.
    Methods: The study utilized electronic medical records from National Taiwan University Hospital between 2000 and 2022. Each hyperthyroidism patient had at least 1 thyrotropin-binding inhibiting immunoglobulin (TBII) measurement. The relationship between TBII levels and the risk of AF and cardiovascular mortality was assessed using multivariable Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
    Results: Among the 14 618 enrolled patients over a 20-year timeframe, 173 individuals developed AF, while 46 experienced cardiovascular mortality. TBII values exceeding 35% were significantly associated with an elevated risk of AF for both the first TBII (hazard ratio {HR} 1.48 [1.05-2.08], P = .027) and mean TBII (HR 1.91 [1.37-2.65], P < .001). Furthermore, after free T4 levels had normalized, a borderline association between first TBII and AF (HR 1.59 [0.99-2.56], P = .056) was observed, while higher mean TBII increased AF (HR 1.78 [1.11-2.85], P = .017). Higher first and mean TBII burden continued to significantly impact the incidence of cardiovascular mortality (HR 6.73 [1.42-31.82], P = .016; 7.87 [1.66-37.20], P = .009). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that elevated TBII levels increased the risk of AF and cardiac mortality (log-rank P = .035 and .027, respectively).
    Conclusion: In euthyroid individuals following antithyroid treatment, elevated circulating TBII levels and burden are associated with an elevated risk of long-term incident AF and cardiovascular mortality. Further reduction of TBII level below 35% will benefit to clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Actin filaments form unique structures with robust actin bundles and cytoskeletal networks affixed to the extracellular matrix and interact with neighboring cells, which are crucial structures for cancer cells to acquire a motile phenotype. This study aims to investigate a novel antitumor mechanism by which Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) modulates the morphology and migration of liver cancer cells via actin cytoskeleton regulation. 97H and Huh7 exhibited numerous tentacle-like protrusions that interacted with neighboring cells. Following treatment with Tan IIA, 97H and Huh7 showed a complete absence of cytoplasmic protrusion and adherens junctions, thereby effectively impeding their migration capability. The fluorescence staining of F-actin and microtubules indicated that these tentacle-like protrusions and cell-cell networks were actin-based structures that led to morphological changes after Tan IIA treatment by retracting and reorganizing beneath the membrane. Tan IIA can reverse the actin depolymerization and cell morphology alterations induced by latrunculin A. Tan IIA down-regulated actin and Rho GTPases expression significantly, as opposed to inducing Rho signaling activation. Preventing the activity of proteasomes and lysosomes had no discernible impact on the modifications in cellular structure and protein expression induced by Tan IIA. However, as demonstrated by the puromycin labeling technique, the newly synthesized proteins were significantly inhibited by Tan IIA. In conclusion, Tan IIA can induce dramatic actin cytoskeleton remodeling by inhibiting the protein synthesis of actin and Rho GTPases, resulting in the suppression of tumor growth and migration. Targeting the actin cytoskeleton of Tan IIA is a promising strategy for HCC treatment.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, and accumulating evidence suggested that proteostatic imbalance is a key feature of the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine exhibits a multi-target therapeutic effect, making it highly suitable for addressing protein homeostasis imbalance in AD. Dendrobium officinale is a traditional Chinese herbs commonly used as tonic agent in China. In this study, we investigated protection effects of D. officinale phenolic extract (SH-F) and examined its underlying mechanisms by using transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans models. We found that treatment with SH-F (50 μg/mL) alleviated Aβ and tau protein toxicity in worms, and also reduced aggregation of polyglutamine proteins to help maintain proteostasis. RNA sequencing results showed that SH-F treatment significantly affected the proteolytic process and autophagy-lysosomal pathway. Furthermore, we confirmed that SH-F showing maintainance of proteostasis was dependent on bec-1 by qRT-PCR analysis and RNAi methods. Finally, we identified active components of SH-F by LC-MS method, and found the five major compounds including koaburaside, tyramine dihydroferulate, N-p-trans-coumaroyltyramine, naringenin and isolariciresinol are the main bioactive components responsible for the anti-AD activity of SH-F. Our findings provide new insights to develop a treatment strategy for AD by targeting proteostasis, and SH-F could be an alternative drug for the treatment of AD.

    Abstract High-fat diet (HFD)-induced fatty liver disease is a deteriorating risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mitigating fatty liver disease has been shown to attenuate AD-like pathology in animal models. However, it remains unclear whether enhancing Aβ clearance through immunotherapy would in turn attenuate HFD-induced fatty liver or whether its efficacy would be compromised by long-term exposure to HFD. Here, the therapeutic potentials of an anti-Aβ antibody, NP106, was investigated in APP/PS1 mice by HFD feeding for 44 weeks. The data demonstrate that NP106 treatment effectively reduced Aβ burden and pro-inflammatory cytokines in HFD-fed APP/PS1 mice and ameliorated HFD-aggravated cognitive impairments during the final 18 weeks of the study. The rejuvenating characteristics of microglia were evident in APP/PS1 mice with NP106 treatment, namely enhanced microglial Aβ phagocytosis and attenuated microglial lipid accumulation, which may explain the benefits of NP106. Surprisingly, NP106 also reduced HFD-induced hyperglycemia, fatty liver, liver fibrosis, and hepatic lipids, concomitant with modifications in the expressions of genes involved in hepatic lipogenesis and fatty acid oxidation. The data further reveal that brain Aβ burden and behavioral deficits were positively correlated with the severity of fatty liver disease and fasting serum glucose levels. In conclusion, our study shows for the first time that anti-Aβ immunotherapy using NP106, which alleviates AD-like disorders in APP/PS1 mice, ameliorates fatty liver disease. Minimizing AD-related pathology and symptoms may reduce the vicious interplay between central AD and peripheral fatty liver disease, thereby highlighting the importance of developing AD therapies from a systemic disease perspective.

    Abstract Background and Objectives: Recent randomized trials of oral antithrombotic drugs with atrial flutter (AFL) excluded patients with renal impairment because of their increased risk of bleeding. To date, no relevant studies have assessed the effectiveness and safety of different antithrombotic drugs in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with AFL. This cohort study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of different antithrombotic drugs in CKD patients with AFL. This study also investigated the risk of cardiovascular events from antithrombotic drugs through different risk profiles of stroke stratified by the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score. Materials and Methods: This cohort study was performed in patients with AFL and CKD who were extracted from the National Health Insurance (NHI) Database in Taiwan. Oral antithrombotic therapy (oral anticoagulants (OAC) or antiplatelets (APT)) was administered to patients who had been diagnosed with AFL after being diagnosed with CKD between 2011 and 2015. Primary outcomes, including ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and composite of stroke, and secondary outcomes, including major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), major bleeding, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular-related death, were examined. Results : A total of 2468 patients were included in this study. The results showed no statistically significant differences in the risk of primary outcomes. For the secondary outcomes, there were also no statistically significant differences in the risk of MACEs and major bleeding. However, the pooled results indicated that the hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality with OAC was 0.24 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.10–0.55) compared with combination therapy, and the HR for APT compared with OAC was 2.86 (95% CI = 1.48–5.53). Conclusions: In the studied population, OAC or APT alone were proved equally effective for stroke prophylaxis. Furthermore, OAC might reduce the all-cause mortality rate compared with APT and should be considered as the first choice of oral antithrombotic drugs in ...
