    Abstract Birth asphyxia is the leading cause of death and disability in young children worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may provide novel targets and intervention strategies due to their regulatory potential, as demonstrated in various diseases and conditions. We investigated cardinal lncRNAs involved in oxidative stress, hypoxia, apoptosis, and DNA damage using a piglet model of perinatal asphyxia. A total of 42 newborn piglets were randomized into 4 study arms: (1) hypoxia-normoxic reoxygenation, (2) hypoxia-3 min of hyperoxic reoxygenation, (3) hypoxia-30 min of hyperoxic reoxygenation, and (4) sham-operated controls. The expression of lncRNAs

    Abstract Despite decades of research and effort, treating cancer is still a challenging task. Current conventional treatments are still unsatisfactory to fully eliminate and prevent re-emergence or relapses, and targeted or personalised therapy, which are more effective in managing cancer, may be unattainable or inaccessible for some. In the past, research in natural products have yielded some of the most commonly used cancer treatment drugs known today. Hence it is possible more are awaiting to be discovered. Withanone, a common withanolide found in the Ayurvedic herb Withania somnifera, has been claimed to possess multiple benefits capable of treating cancer. This review focuses on the potential of withanone as a safe cancer treatment drug based on the pharmacokinetic profile and molecular mechanisms of actions of withanone. Through these in silico and in vitro studies discussed in this review, withanone showspotent anticancer activities and interactions with molecular targets involved in cancer progression. Furthermore, some evidences also show the selective killing property of withanone, which highlights the safety and specificity of withanone in targeting cancer cell. By compiling these evidences, this review hopes to spark interest for future research to be conducted in more extensive studies involving withanone to generate more data, especially involving in vivo experiments and toxicity evaluation of withanone.

    Abstract Background: Since the discovery more than half a century ago, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has become an attractive objective in multiple diagnostic, prognostic, and monitoring settings. However, despite the increasing number of cfDNA applications in liquid biopsies, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the nature of cfDNA including optimal assessment. In the presented study, we continued testing and validation of common techniques for cfDNA extraction and quantification (qRT-PCR or droplet digital PCR) of nuclear- and mitochondrial cfDNA (ncfDNA and mtcfDNA) in blood, using a piglet model of perinatal asphyxia to determine potential temporal and quantitative changes at the levels of cfDNA.
    Methods and results: Newborn piglets (n = 19) were either exposed to hypoxia (n = 11) or were part of the sham-operated control group (n = 8). Blood samples were collected at baseline (= start) and at the end of hypoxia or at 40-45 min for the sham-operated control group. Applying the qRT-PCR method, ncfDNA concentrations in piglets exposed to hypoxia revealed an increasing trend from 7.1 ng/ml to 9.5 ng/ml for HK2 (hexokinase 2) and from 4.6 ng/ml to 7.9 ng/ml for β-globulin, respectively, whereas the control animals showed a more balanced profile. Furthermore, median levels of mtcfDNA were much higher in comparison to ncfDNA, but without significant differences between intervention versus the control group.
    Conclusions: Both, qRT-PCR and the droplet digital PCR technique identified overall similar patterns for the concentration changes of cfDNA; but, the more sensitive digital PCR methodology might be required to identify minimal responses.

    Abstract We show that the application of lateral shear force on a randomly oriented thin film of carbon nanotubes, in the dry state, causes significant reordering of the nanotubes at the film surface. This new technique of dry shear aligning is applicable to carbon nanotube thin films produced by many of the established methods.

    Abstract The lack of pre-clinical large animal models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains a growing, yet unmet obstacle to improving understanding of this complex condition. We examined whether chronic cardiometabolic stress in Ossabaw swine, which possess a genetic propensity for obesity and cardiovascular complications, produces an HFpEF-like phenotype. Swine were fed standard chow (lean; n = 13) or an excess calorie, high-fat, high-fructose diet (obese; n = 16) for ~ 18 weeks with lean (n = 5) and obese (n = 8) swine subjected to right ventricular pacing (180 beats/min for ~ 4 weeks) to induce heart failure (HF). Baseline blood pressure, heart rate, LV end-diastolic volume, and ejection fraction were similar between groups. High-rate pacing increased LV end-diastolic pressure from ~ 11 ± 1 mmHg in lean and obese swine to ~ 26 ± 2 mmHg in lean HF and obese HF swine. Regression analyses revealed an upward shift in LV diastolic pressure vs. diastolic volume in paced swine that was associated with an ~ twofold increase in myocardial fibrosis and an ~ 50% reduction in myocardial capillary density. Hemodynamic responses to graded hemorrhage revealed an ~ 40% decrease in the chronotropic response to reductions in blood pressure in lean HF and obese HF swine without appreciable changes in myocardial oxygen delivery or transmural perfusion. These findings support that high-rate ventricular pacing of lean and obese Ossabaw swine initiates underlying cardiac remodeling accompanied by elevated LV filling pressures with normal ejection fraction. This distinct pre-clinical tool provides a unique platform for further mechanistic and therapeutic studies of this highly complex syndrome.
