    Abstract Oxygen is crucial for life and acts as the final electron acceptor in mitochondrial energy production. Cells adapt to varying oxygen levels through intricate response systems. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), including HIF-1α and HIF-2α, orchestrate the cellular hypoxic response, activating genes to increase the oxygen supply and reduce expenditure. Under conditions of excess oxygen and resulting oxidative stress, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) activates hundreds of genes for oxidant removal and adaptive cell survival. Hypoxia and oxidative stress are core hallmarks of solid tumors and activated HIFs and NRF2 play pivotal roles in tumor growth and progression. The complex interplay between hypoxia and oxidative stress within the tumor microenvironment adds another layer of intricacy to the HIF and NRF2 signaling systems. This review aimed to elucidate the dynamic changes and functions of the HIF and NRF2 signaling pathways in response to conditions of hypoxia and oxidative stress, emphasizing their implications within the tumor milieu. Additionally, this review explored the elaborate interplay between HIFs and NRF2, providing insights into the significance of these interactions for the development of novel cancer treatment strategies.

    Abstract A new international terrestrial reference frame (ITRF2020) was recently released by combining the solutions from four space geodetic techniques. For this purpose, connecting the sensors based on local tie vectors at collocated sites is crucial. The 3D circle fitting method has been frequently used, which models the trace of a target attached to the antenna and/or telescope as a 3D circle in space. However, it requires a parameterization for each target, which necessarily causes too many nuisance parameters with only a few observations. We developed a completely homogeneous and robust model (called the “conical model”) to estimate the invariant point (IVP) of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) or satellite laser ranging (SLR) telescope. The trace of each target in 3D space is modeled as a cone with the apex at the common IVP. Thus, the slant heights, as well as the primary parameters (that is, the IVP), are estimated along with the full variance-covariance information. It provides the estimation model with enormous degrees of freedom, and the tilting of the (ideal) vertical axis and the horizontal offset between two rotational axes can be calculated simultaneously. The mathematical relationship of the target motions is constrained to the Gauss-Markov model to reinforce the estimated parameters. The proposed approach was successfully applied to the collocated site, resulting in a sub-millimeter level accuracy uniformly for the estimated IVPs and other accompanying parameters.

    Abstract The composition of phospholipid membranes is critical to regulating the activity of membrane proteins for cellular functions. Cardiolipin is a unique phospholipid present within the bacterial membrane and mitochondria of eukaryotes and plays a role in maintaining the function and stabilization of membrane proteins. Here, we report that, in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, cardiolipin is required for full activity of the SaeRS two-component system (TCS). Deletion of the cardiolipin synthase genes,

    Abstract Background: Curiosity on toxin-antitoxin modules has increased intensely over recent years as it is ubiquitously present in many bacterial genomes, including pathogens like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Several cellular functions of TA systems have been proposed however, their exact role in cellular physiology remains unresolved.
    Methods: This study aims to find out the impact of the mazEF toxin-antitoxin module on biofilm formation, pathogenesis, and antibiotic resistance in an isolated clinical ST239 MRSA strain, by constructing mazE and mazF mutants using CRISPR-cas9 base-editing plasmid (pnCasSA-BEC). Transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq) was performed for the mazE antitoxin mutant in order to identify the differentially regulated genes. The biofilm formation was also assessed for the mutant strains. Antibiogram profiling was carried out for both the generated mutants followed by murine experiment to determine the pathogenicity of the constructed strains.
    Results: For the first time our work showed, that MazF promotes cidA mediated cell death and lysis for biofilm formation without playing any significant role in host virulence as suggested by the murine experiment. Interestingly, the susceptibility to oxacillin, daptomycin and vancomycin was reduced significantly by the activated MazF toxin in the mazE mutant strain.
    Conclusions: Our study reveals that activated MazF toxin leads to resistance to antibiotics like oxacillin, daptomycin and vancomycin. Therefore, in the future, any potential antibacterial drug can be designed to target MazF toxin against the problematic multi-drug resistant bug.

    Abstract The regulation of membrane protein activity for cellular functions is critically dependent on the composition of phospholipid membranes. Cardiolipin, a unique phospholipid found in bacterial membranes and mitochondrial membranes of eukaryotes, plays a crucial role in stabilizing membrane proteins and maintaining their function. In the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, the SaeRS two-component system (TCS) controls the expression of key virulence factors essential for the bacterium's virulence. The SaeS sensor kinase activates the SaeR response regulator via phosphoryl transfer to bind its gene target promoters. In this study, we report that cardiolipin is critical for sustaining the full activity of SaeRS and other TCSs in S. aureus. The sensor kinase protein SaeS binds directly to cardiolipin and phosphatidylglycerol, enabling SaeS activity. Elimination of cardiolipin from the membrane reduces SaeS kinase activity, indicating that bacterial cardiolipin is necessary for modulating the kinase activities of SaeS and other sensor kinases during infection. Moreover, the deletion of cardiolipin synthase genes

    Abstract Aims: A cardiac surgery international nursing and allied professional research network titled CONNECT was created to strengthen collaborative cardiac surgery research through shared initiatives including supervision, mentorship, workplace exchange programs, and multi-site clinical research. As with any new initiative, there is a need to build brand awareness to enhance user familiarity, grow membership, and promote various opportunities offered. Social media has been used across various surgical disciplines; however, their effectiveness in promoting scholarly and academic-based initiatives has not been examined. The aim of this scoping review was to examine the different types of social media platforms and strategies used to promote cardiac research initiatives for CONNECT.
    Methods and results: A scoping review was undertaken in which a comprehensive and thorough review of the literature was performed. Fifteen articles were included in the review. Twitter appeared to be the most common form of social media used to promote cardiac initiatives, with daily posts being the most frequent type of engagement. Frequency of views, number of impressions and engagement, link clicks, and content analysis were the most common types of evaluation metrics that were identified.
    Conclusion: Findings from this review will inform the design and evaluation of a targeted Twitter campaign aimed at increasing brand awareness of CONNECT, which will include the use of @CONNECTcardiac Twitter handle, hashtags, and CONNECT-driven journal clubs. In addition, the use of Twitter to disseminate information and brand initiatives related to CONNECT will be evaluated using the Twitter Analytics function.

    Abstract Objective: Carotid web (CaW) is reported as one of the causes of cryptogenic strokes. However, its pathophysiology is not known, which makes clinicians debate CaW treatment. The current study presents the mechanism of ischemic stroke in CaW and finds a potential indicator for ischemic stroke in CaW.
    Methods: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was applied to computer-aided artificial human CaW models to investigate the correlation between stenosis rate and CaW angle. The CFD results were compared with stroke or symptomatic CaW including adequate reported images for anatomic analysis of the stenosis rate and CaW angle.
    Results: The CFD result of the CaW models shows that the velocity decreases and the turbulence generation of blood flow increases in the area under CaW (AuCaW). In AuCaW, turbulence intensity (TI) is high in the high stenosis rate and small angle conditions. Moreover, TI remained high in the AuCaW throughout the cardiac cycles. The analysis of 67 anatomic figures appeared in 36 articles merged with CFD results, and a CaW scoring system was introduced for clinicians to determine patients with CaW with a high risk of ischemic stroke.
    Conclusions: This study is believed to be the first to apply TI to CaW. Because most ischemic strokes in CaW occurred at a high stenosis rate and small angle, TI may be used as a potential indicator of ischemic stroke in CaW. Furthermore, TI is easily used in the daily clinical field by applying CaW scores.
