    Abstract Exosome-based liquid biopsies possess great potential in monitoring cancer development However, current exosome detection biosensors require large exosome volumes, showing the weak detection sensitivity. Besides, these methods pay little attention to in situ analysis of exosomes, hence limiting the provision of more accurate clinically-relevant information. Herein, we develop an innovative label-free biosensor combining the low-cost thermophoretic enrichment method with the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection. Based on the thermophoretic enrichment strategy, exosomes and gold nanoparticles can be enriched together into a small area with a scale of 500 μm within 10 min. The Raman signals of various exosomes derived from normal, cancerous cell lines and human serum are dynamically monitored in situ, with the limit of detection of 10

    Abstract Purpose: Previous studies have confirmed that inflammation and immunity are involved in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, only few related genes are identified as biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of AMI.
    Patients and methods: GSE48060 and GSE60993 datasets were retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus. The differentially expressed immuno-inflammation-related genes (DEIIRGs) were obtained from GSE48060, and the biomarkers for AMI were screened and validated using the "Neuralnet" package and GSE60993 dataset. Further, the biomarker-based nomogram was constructed, and miRNAs, transcription factors (TFs), and potential drugs targeting the biomarkers were explored. Furthermore, immune infiltration analysis was analyzed in AMI. Finally, the biomarkers were verified by assessing their mRNA levels using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).
    Results: First, eight biomarkers were screened via bioinformatics, and the artificial neural network model indicated a higher prediction accuracy for AMI even in the validation dataset. Nomogram had accurate forecasting ability for AMI as well. The TFs GTF2I, PHOX2B, RUNX1, and FOS targeting hsa-miR-1297 could regulate the expressions of

    Abstract Objectives: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a leading cause of heart failure and sudden death, requires early diagnosis and treatment. This study investigated the underlying pathogenesis and explored potential diagnostic gene biomarkers for HCM.
    Methods: Transcriptional profiles of myocardial tissues from patients with HCM (dataset GSE36961) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and subjected to bioinformatics analyses, including differentially expressed gene (DEG) identification, enrichment analyses, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and support vector machine recursive feature elimination were performed to identify candidate diagnostic gene biomarkers. mRNA expression levels of candidate biomarkers were tested in an external dataset (GSE141910); area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values were obtained to validate diagnostic efficacy.
    Results: Overall, 156 DEGs (109 downregulated, 47 upregulated) were identified. Enrichment and PPI network analyses indicated that the DEGs were involved in biological functions and molecular pathways including inflammatory response, platelet activity, complement and coagulation cascades, extracellular matrix organization, phagosome, apoptosis, and VEGFA-VEGFR2 signaling. RASD1, CDC42EP4, MYH6, and FCN3 were identified as diagnostic biomarkers for HCM.
    Conclusions: RASD1, CDC42EP4, MYH6, and FCN3 might be diagnostic gene biomarkers for HCM and can provide insights concerning HCM pathogenesis.

    Abstract The use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in asphalt concrete pavements (ACP) brings significant cost and environmental benefits. In practice, however, the amount of RAP readily available far exceeds the amount being utilized in ACPs, which still leaves the problem of excess RAP in the environment partially solved. Additionally, ACPs containing RAP materials (i.e., RAP-ACPs) can still be landfilled after they have reached the end of their useful life, which may restore the original environmental waste problem. To address these, researchers have demonstrated different ways to maximize the application of RAP in ACPs. Among them, the use of RAP in pavement preventive maintenance (PPM) treatments and the repeated recycling of RAP-ACPs (i.e., R

    Abstract Introduction: Accumulating evidences disclose that COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has a marked effect on acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Nevertheless, the underlying pathophysiology correlation between the AMI and COVID-19 remains vague.
    Materials and methods: Bioinformatics analyses of the altered transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with AMI and COVID-19 were implemented, including identification of differentially expressed genes and common genes between AMI and COVID-19, protein-protein interactions, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses, TF-genes and miRNA coregulatory networks, to explore their biological functions and potential roles in the pathogenesis of COVID-19-related AMI.
    Conclusion: Our bioinformatic analyses of gene expression profiling of PBMCs in patients with AMI and COVID-19 provide us with a unique view regarding underlying pathophysiology correlation between the two vital diseases.

    Abstract Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with changes in cardiac metabolism that affect energy supply in the heart. However, there is limited research on energy metabolism-related genes (EMRGs) in HFpEF.
    Methods: The HFpEF mouse dataset (GSE180065, containing heart tissues from 10 HFpEF and five control samples) was sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Gene expression profiles in HFpEF and control groups were compared to identify differentially expressed EMRGs (DE-EMRGs), and the diagnostic biomarkers with diagnostic value were screened using machine learning algorithms. Meanwhile, we constructed a biomarker-based nomogram model for its predictive power, and functionality of diagnostic biomarkers were conducted using single-gene gene set enrichment analysis, drug prediction, and regulatory network analysis. Additionally, consensus clustering analysis based on the expression of diagnostic biomarkers was utilized to identify differential HFpEF-related genes (HFpEF-RGs). Immune microenvironment analysis in HFpEF and subtypes were performed for analyzing correlations between immune cells and diagnostic biomarkers as well as HFpEF-RGs. Finally, qRT-PCR analysis on the HFpEF mouse model was used to validate the expression levels of diagnostic biomarkers.
    Results: We selected 5 biomarkers (Chrna2, Gnb3, Gng7, Ddit4l, and Prss55) that showed excellent diagnostic performance. The nomogram model we constructed demonstrated high predictive power. Single-gene gene set enrichment analysis revealed enrichment in aerobic respiration and energy derivation. Further, various miRNAs and TFs were predicted by Gng7, such as Gng7-mmu-miR-6921-5p, ETS1-Gng7. A lot of potential therapeutic targets were predicted as well. Consensus clustering identified two distinct subtypes of HFpEF. Functional enrichment analysis highlighted the involvement of DEGs-cluster in protein amino acid modification and so on. Additionally, we identified five HFpEF-RGs (Kcnt1, Acot1, Kcnc4, Scn3a, and Gpam). Immune analysis revealed correlations between Macrophage M2, T cell CD4+ Th1 and diagnostic biomarkers, as well as an association between Macrophage and HFpEF-RGs. We further validated the expression trends of the selected biomarkers through experimental validation.
    Conclusion: Our study identified 5 diagnostic biomarkers and provided insights into the prediction and treatment of HFpEF through drug predictions and network analysis. These findings contribute to a better understanding of HFpEF and may guide future research and therapy development.

    Abstract Background: Accumulating evidence indicates the inflammatory state of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) predisposes to the acceleration of atherosclerosis (AS). Nevertheless, the potential mechanisms of accelerating AS in RA have not been fully elucidated. Our current study was to probe the problem via multi-microarray data analyses.
    Methods: The transcriptional profiling of synovial tissues from RA (GSE55235 and GSE55457) and that of atherosclerotic plaques from AS (GSE28829 and GSE41571) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Bioinformatics analyses procedures included identifying common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), constructing protein-protein interaction network, key modules analysis and identifying hub genes, validating hub genes by using external datasets (GSE77298 and GSE163154), Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses, constructing transcription factor (TF)-miRNA coregulatory network and exploiting candidate drugs targeting hub genes.
    Results: A total of 67 common DEGs were identified for downstream analyses. GO and KEGG analyses of these genes expounded a critical role of inflammatory mediators and reactions in the comorbidities. Sixteen hub genes were identified, and their functional analyses further highlighted a complicated inflammatory micro-environment and signaling pathways involving RA and AS. Six TFs and four miRNAs interacted with hub genes, and the candidate drugs targeting them were simvastatin, 5-azacytidine, bisindolylmaleimide, retinoic acid, and verteporfin, etc.
    Conclusions: Our comprehensive bioinformatics analyses provided a novel view regarding the potential pathogenesis of AS in RA. Furthermore, exploitation of candidate drugs might hold great promise in the future fight against the comorbidities.

    Abstract The use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in asphalt concrete pavements (ACP) brings significant cost and environmental benefits. In practice, however, the amount of RAP readily available far exceeds the amount being utilized in ACPs, which still leaves the problem of excess RAP in the environment partially solved. Additionally, ACPs containing RAP materials (i.e., RAP-ACPs) can still be landfilled after they have reached the end of their useful life, which may restore the original environmental waste problem. To address these, researchers have demonstrated different ways to maximize the application of RAP in ACPs. Among them, the use of RAP in pavement preventive maintenance (PPM) treatments and the repeated recycling of RAP-ACPs (i.e., R n AP) are specifically discussed in this review. It is envisaged that, by promoting these two practices, the application and benefits of RAP can be further maximized to improve sustainability. This review also discusses the long-term behavior of RAP-ACP, which is crucial to inspire confidence in the wider application of RAP in ACP. Studies on RAP-PPM have shown that virgin PPM treatments can successfully accommodate RAP materials by adjusting their mix design. So far, research on R n AP has been limited to how multiple-recycling affects the performance properties of the blends, showing improvements in rutting resistance and moisture susceptibility but little effect on linear viscoelasticity and cracking. Overall, the lack of sufficient research is considered to be the biggest challenge in facilitating the implementation of these two sustainable RAP technologies. Little or nothing is known about the bonding mechanisms between RAP and fresh PPM binders, the molecular and chemical changes in R n AP binders, or the functional performance characteristics, actual pavement performance, and long-term performance of both RAP-PPM and R n AP blends. An understanding of these aspects is very relevant to maximize and continue the beneficial reuse of RAP in ACPs while ...

    Abstract Remote Raman spectroscopy is a technique that can detect and identify different target molecules through Raman vibrational modes from a remote distance. However, the current remote Raman technique is restricted by poor detection sensitivity, and it is still extremely challenging for trace explosive detection. Here, in order to achieve trace explosive detection from a remote distance, we innovatively propose two enhanced Raman spectroscopy methods by using a plasmonic spray and a laser beam focusing/Raman signal collecting instrument. In brief, a facile convex lens can converge the laser beam and collect Raman scattering signals, and a plasmonic spray can be used for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Under the combination of the above enhancement methods, we achieve remote Raman detection of a variety of trace explosives with a concentration of ∼1 μg/cm
