    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the roles of microRNA-886 (miR-886) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) OXCT1-AS1 in osteosarcoma (OS). We predicted that they might interact with each other. The expression of OXCT1-AS1 and miR-886 (mature and premature) in osteosarcoma and paired non-tumor tissues from 66 OS patients was negatively correlated. Overexpression and silencing assays showed that OXCT1-AS1 suppresses miR-886 maturation. RNA-RNA pulldown and subcellular fractionation assays demonstrated the direct interaction between OXCT1-AS1 and miR-886. BrdU proliferation assays revealed that OXCT1-AS1 promoted OS cell proliferation, and miR-886 reduced the enhancing effects of OXCT1-AS1 on OS cell proliferation. Western blot showed that OXCT1-AS1 had no effects on the levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition biomarkers. Overall, OXCT1-AS1 suppresses miR-886 maturation to promote OS cell proliferation.

    Abstract Aims: To examine temporal trends in physical activity and sedentary time among U.S. adults with diabetes from 2007 to 2020.
    Methods: We performed serial cross-sectional analyses for participants aged ≥ 20 years with diagnosed diabetes from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2020. Participants completed the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire.
    Results: The analytic sample comprised 5096 adults with diabetes (mean age: 60.3 years; 48.2% females; 60.1% White people; mean body mass index: 33.0 kg/m
    Conclusions: Physical activity levels in U.S. adults with diabetes have increased from 2007 to 2020, but about one in two remains inactive or insufficiently active. Sedentary time has not decreased. For diabetes management, nationwide efforts are needed to promote transportation-related physical activity while minimizing prolonged sitting, especially among those who are middle-aged or older, or with severe obesity or other complications.

    Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a major complication of pregnancy. GDM is associated with a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO). The purpose of this study was to assess the association between third-trimester platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentration and the risk of APO in GDM pregnant women. This study selected 406 non-elderly gestational diabetes patients diagnosed in the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from May 2021 to February 2023 as the research objects. According to the presence or absence of APO, they were divided into an APO group (n = 171) and a non-APO group (n = 235). Logistic regression model to evaluate the correlation between PLR and hsCRP and APO in women with GDM; Restricted cubic spline analyses was used to explore nonlinear correlations between PLR or hsCRP and the risk of APO; ROC curve analysis of the diagnostic performance of PLR and hsCRP for APO in women with GDM. APO occurred in 171 of the 406 included participants. Compared with the non-APO group, patients in the APO group had higher PLR and hsCRP levels. The incidence of APO was positively associated with PLR and the hsCRP level in each logistic regression model (P < 0.05). After adjusting for all the risk factors included in this study, restricted cubic spline analyses found that the PLR and the hsCRP level were positively associated with the risk of APO. The levels of PLR and hsCRP in the third trimester are related to the occurrence of APO in women with GDM, and high levels of PLR and hsCRP may indicate the occurrence of APO.

    Abstract Fibrinolysis is an enzymatic process that breaks down fibrin clots, while dyslipidemia refers to abnormal levels of lipids and lipoproteins in the blood. Both fibrinolysis and lipoprotein metabolism are critical mechanisms that regulate a myriad of functions in the body, and the imbalance of these mechanisms is linked to the development of pathologic conditions, such as thrombotic complications in atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Accumulated evidence indicates the close relationship between the 2 seemingly distinct and complicated systems-fibrinolysis and lipoprotein metabolism. Observational studies in humans found that dyslipidemia, characterized by increased blood apoB-lipoprotein and decreased high-density lipoprotein, is associated with lower fibrinolytic potential. Genetic variants of some fibrinolytic regulators are associated with blood lipid levels, supporting a causal relationship between these regulators and lipoprotein metabolism. Mechanistic studies have elucidated many pathways that link the fibrinolytic system and lipoprotein metabolism. Moreover, profibrinolytic therapies improve lipid panels toward an overall cardiometabolic healthier phenotype, while some lipid-lowering treatments increase fibrinolytic potential. The complex relationship between lipoprotein and fibrinolysis warrants further research to improve our understanding of the bidirectional regulation between the mediators of fibrinolysis and lipoprotein metabolism.

    Abstract Background: Citrus is one of the most valuable fruits worldwide and an economic pillar industry in southern China. Nevertheless, it frequently suffers from undesirable environmental stresses during the growth cycle, which severely restricts the growth, development and yield of citrus. In plants, the growth-regulating factor (GRF) family of transcription factors (TF) is extensively distributed and plays an vital part in plant growth and development, hormone response, as well as stress adaptation. However, the systematic identification and functional analysis of GRF TFs in citrus have not been reported.
    Results: Here, a genome-wide identification of GRF TFs was performed in Citrus sinensis, 9 members of CsGRFs were systematically identified and discovered to be scattered throughout 5 chromosomes. Subsequently, physical and chemical properties, phylogenetic relationships, structural characteristics, gene duplication events, collinearity and cis-elements of promoter were elaborately analyzed. In particular, the expression patterns of the CsGRF genes in response to multiple phytohormone and abiotic stress treatments were investigated. Predicated on this result, CsGRF04, which exhibited the most differential expression pattern under multiple phytohormone and abiotic stress treatments was screened out. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology was utilized to obtain gene silenced plants for CsGRF04 successfully. After the three stress treatments of high salinity, low temperature and drought, the CsGRF04-VIGS lines showed significantly reduced resistance to high salinity and low temperature stresses, but extremely increased resistance to drought stress.
    Conclusions: Taken together, our findings systematically analyzed the genomic characterization of GRF family in Citrus sinensis, and excavated a CsGRF04 with potential functions under multiple abiotic stresses. Our study lay a foundation for further study on the function of CsGRFs in abiotic stress and hormone signaling response.

    Abstract Background: Salicylic Acid (SA) is a pivotal phytohormone in plant innate immunity enhancement of triggered by various pathogens, such as Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causal agent of Huanglongbing (HLB). WRKY is a plant specific transcription factor (TF) family, which plays crucial roles in plant response to biotic stresses. So far, the evolutionary history, functions, and expression patterns under SA treatment and CLas infection of WRKY family are poorly understood in Citrus, despite the release of the genome of several Citrus species. A comprehensive genomic and expressional analysis is worth to conduct for this family.
    Results: Here, a genome-wide identification of WRKY TFs was performed in two Citrus species: Citrus sinensis (HLB-sensitive) and Poncirus trifoliata (HLB-tolerant). In total, 52 CsWRKYs and 51 PtrWRKYs were identified, whose physical and chemical properties, chromosome locations, phylogenetic relationships and structural characteristics were comparatively analyzed. Especially, expression patterns of these WRKY genes before and after SA treatment and CLas infection were compared. Based on this result, seven pairs of orthologous WRKY genes showing opposite expression patterns in two Citrus species were screened out. Moreover, two pairs of orthologous WRKY genes with significant differences in the number or type of stress-responsive cis-elements in the promoter regions were discovered. Subcellular localization and transcriptional activation activity assays revealed that these two pairs of orthologous genes are classic WRKY TFs localize in the nucleus and could function as transcriptional activators.
    Conclusion: In this study, we systematically analyzed the genomic characterization of WRKY family in two Citrus species, together with the analyses of expression patterns under SA signaling and CLas infection. Our study laid a foundation for further study on the function of WRKY TFs in HLB response and SA signaling of Citrus.

    Abstract Background and objective: The balance between neural oscillations provides valuable insights into the organisation of neural oscillations related to brain states, which may play important roles in dystonia. We aim to investigate the relationship of the balance in the globus pallidus internus (GPi) with the dystonic severity under different muscular contraction conditions.
    Methods: Twenty-one patients with dystonia were recruited. All of them underwent bilateral GPi implantation, and local field potentials (LFPs) from the GPi were recorded via simultaneous surface electromyography. The power spectral ratio between neural oscillations was computed as the measure of neural balance. This ratio was calculated under high and low dystonic muscular contraction conditions, and its correlation with the dystonic severity was assessed using clinical scores.
    Results: The power spectral of the pallidal LFPs peaked in the theta and alpha bands. Within participant comparison showed that the power spectral of the theta oscillations significantly increased during high muscle contraction compared with that during low contraction. The power spectral ratios between the theta and alpha, theta and low beta, and theta and high gamma oscillations were significantly higher during high contraction than during low contraction. The total score and motor score were associated with the power spectral ratio between the low and high beta oscillations, which was correlated with the dystonic severity both during high and low contractions. The power spectral ratios between the low beta and low gamma and between the low beta and high gamma oscillations showed a significantly positive correlation with the total score during both high and low contractions; a correlation with the motor scale score was found only during high contraction. Meanwhile, the power spectral ratio between the theta and alpha oscillations during low contraction showed a significantly negative correlation with the total score. The power spectral ratios between the alpha and high beta, alpha and low gamma, and alpha and high gamma oscillations were significantly correlated with the dystonic severity only during low contraction.
    Conclusion: The balance between neural oscillations, as quantified by the power ratio between specific frequency bands, differed between the high and low muscular contraction conditions and was correlated with the dystonic severity. The balance between the low and high beta oscillations was correlated with the dystonic severity during both conditions, making this parameter a new possible biomarker for closed-loop deep brain stimulation in patients with dystonia.
