    Abstract Computation of hypervolume under ROC manifold (HUM) is necessary to evaluate biomarkers for their capability to discriminate among multiple disease types or diagnostic groups. However the original definition of HUM involves multiple integration and thus a medical investigation for multi-class receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis could suffer from huge computational cost when the formula is implemented naively. We introduce a novel graph-based approach to compute HUM efficiently in this article. The computational method avoids the time-consuming multiple summation when sample size or the number of categories is large. We conduct extensive simulation studies to demonstrate the improvement of our method over existing R packages. We apply our method to two real biomedical data sets to illustrate its application.

    Abstract Manipulating Fenton chemistry in tumor microenvironment (TME) for the generation of reactive oxygen species is an effective strategy for chemodynamic therapy. However, this is usually restricted by limited intracellular content of H₂O₂ and insufficient acidic environment at the tumor site. Herein, a ferric metal–organic framework (MOF) is covalently grafted with a prodrug of cisplatin (Pt(IV) prodrug) and loaded with a biocatalyst glucose oxidase (GOx) to afford a nanozyme MOF-Pt(IV)@GOx for cascade reactions. In this system, the attached Pt(IV) prodrug on MOF plays a significant role in the cooperative enhancement of GOx loading and chemotherapy. The high concentration of glutathione in TME reduces Fe(III) to Fe(II) for Fenton reaction, and converts Pt(IV) prodrug to cisplatin for DNA targeting and H₂O₂ production. Meanwhile, glucose oxidation catalyzed by GOx not only consumes glucose for starvation therapy, but also promotes the intracellular acidity and H₂O₂ supply in TME, which are in favor of Fenton reaction. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that MOF-Pt(IV)@GOx enables remarkable anticancer efficacy due to the synergistic trimodal therapy consisting of ferroptosis, starvation therapy, and chemotherapy.

    Abstract Abstract Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) have unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of diseases, which are widely recognized in the world. More and more CHMs are becoming increasingly popular in the international markets. However, the quality control of CHMs is a significant issue for their acceptance and recognition in the international market. This review mainly focuses on the quality requirements for CHMs to enter the European Union (EU) market. Both Chinese and European regulations and quality controls are compared. Firstly, the EU medicinal regulatory system and relevant regulations were reviewed. Secondly, the key factors of the quality control of CHMs, including Chinese herbal drugs, extracts and products were compared with those of European herbal medicines in the EU market. Subsequently, three main registration routes for herbal medicinal products including Chinese herbal medicinal products entering the EU were introduced. Furthermore, the legal status of traditional Chinese medicine granules in the EU was also discussed. Through the comparison of the key quality factors for CHMs in China and the EU, the similarities and differences in terms of quality requirements and regulations are addressed, which provides a reference for the development of CHMs into the EU market.

    Abstract Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) causes life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young people. Measurements of QT prolongation during exercise or postural change have been recommended to assist in the diagnosis of LQTS, particularly in those with hidden phenotypes. However, most evidence has come from single-center studies without external validation in an independent cohort. Inter-study heterogeneity leads to significant difficulties in interpreting and applying consistent diagnostic criteria for LQTS. A comprehensive systematic review is critically needed to summarize the evidence and validate the diagnostic performance of QT intervals during exercise or postural change across a variety of studies. In this study, we review cross-sectional and cohort studies evaluating the efficacy and feasibility of exercise tests or postural changes in diagnosing LQTS, and propose possible problems resulting from exercise tests.

    Abstract Animal domestication is a process of environmental modulation and artificial selection leading to permanent phenotypic modifications. Recent studies showed that phenotypic changes occur very early in domestication, i.e., within the first generation in captivity, which raises the hypothesis that epigenetic mechanisms may play a critical role on the early onset of the domestic phenotype. In this context, we applied reduced representation bisulphite sequencing to compare methylation profiles between wild Nile tilapia females and their offspring reared under farmed conditions. Approximately 700 differentially methylated CpG sites were found, many of them associated not only with genes involved in muscle growth, immunity, autophagy and diet response but also related to epigenetic mechanisms, such as RNA methylation and histone modifications. This bottom-up approach showed that the phenotypic traits often related to domestic animals (e.g., higher growth rate and different immune status) may be regulated epigenetically and prior to artificial selection on gene sequences. Moreover, it revealed the importance of diet in this process, as reflected by differential methylation patterns in genes critical to fat metabolism. Finally, our study highlighted that the TGF-β1 signalling pathway may regulate and be regulated by several differentially methylated CpG-associated genes. This could be an important and multifunctional component in promoting adaptation of fish to a domestic environment while modulating growth and immunity-related traits.

    Abstract Objective: We investigated the correlation between glycemic control status and depressive symptoms in type 2 diabetes elderly.
    Methods: A total of 1527 participants with type 2 diabetes aged 55 years and older from the Healthy Aging Longitudinal Study in Taiwan study were included in this cross-sectional study. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) (20 items) score of ≥16 was indicative of depressive symptoms. The participants were divided into HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and < 6.5% representing the glycemic control. Multiple logistic regression (MLR) and Generalized linear model (GLM) were used.
    Results: The MLR analysis showed that the low HbA1c group had significant two-fold increased odds of depressive symptoms compared to the high HbA1c group (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.17-3.05). The risk of depressive symptoms was lower among males (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.30-0.80) and those with higher BMI (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.86-1.00); whereas the risk was higher among those who lived alone (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.31-4.27) and with ADL disability (OR 3.01, 95% CI 1.85-4.89). The GLM showed that the dimension of depressive affect reached statistical significance with lower HbA1c.
    Conclusion: This nationwide community-based study shows that depressive symptoms are associated with lower HbA1C, reminding us that more attention should be paid to the presence of depressive symptoms in those with lower HbA1C. Further research is needed to clarify the causal relationship.
