    Abstract Cardiac fibrosis remains an unresolved problem in cardiovascular diseases. Fibrosis of the myocardium plays a key role in the clinical outcomes of patients with heart injuries. Moderate fibrosis is favorable for cardiac structure maintaining and contractile force transmission, whereas adverse fibrosis generally progresses to ventricular remodeling and cardiac systolic or diastolic dysfunction. The molecular mechanisms involved in these processes are multifactorial and complex. Several molecular mechanisms, such as TGF-β signaling pathway, extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation, and non-coding RNAs, positively or negatively regulate myocardial fibrosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as significant mediators in gene regulation in cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs are crucial in genetic programming and gene expression during myocardial fibrosis. We summarize the function of lncRNAs in cardiac fibrosis and their contributions to miRNA expression, TGF-β signaling, and ECMs synthesis, with a particular attention on the exosome-derived lncRNAs in the regulation of adverse fibrosis as well as the mode of action of lncRNAs secreted into exosomes. We also discuss how the current knowledge on lncRNAs can be applied to develop novel therapeutic strategies to prevent or reverse cardiac fibrosis.

    Abstract Bacterial infections pose a significant threat to human health and safety, necessitating the urgent resolution of the problem through the development and implementation of highly effective antibacterial agents. However, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has diminished the satisfactory effectiveness of antibacterial treatments. To overcome this obstacle, we developed effective antibacterial agents by chemical reduction for inhibiting bacterial proliferation and inducing membrane damage. Specifically, four different types of chitosan/Ag nanoparticle (CS-AgNPs-

    Abstract Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disease. The efficacy of different probiotics in treating IBS remains controversial. This network meta-analysis aimed to compare and rank the outcome-specific efficacy of different probiotic strains or combinations in adults with IBS. We searched the literature up to June 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the efficacy of probiotics in IBS were included. A frequentist framework was used to perform this study. In total, 9253 participants from 81 RCTs were included in the study. Four probiotic strains and five mixtures were significantly superior to placebo in improving IBS Symptom Severity Scale, among which

    Abstract Structural changes in the gut microbiota are closely related to the development of functional constipation, and regulating the gut microbiota can improve constipation. Rifaximin is a poorly absorbed antibiotic beneficial for regulating gut microbiota, but few studies have reported its effects on constipation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rifaximin on loperamide-induced constipation in SD rats. The results showed that rifaximin improved constipation by increasing serum 5-HT, SP, and the mRNA expression of AQP3, AQP8, and reducing the mRNA expression of TLR2 and TLR4. In addition, rifaximin could regulate the gut microbiota of constipated rats, such as increasing the potentially beneficial bacteria

    Abstract Aim: Cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis are associated with cardiac remodeling and heart failure. We have previously shown that miRNA-217, embedded within the third intron of MIR217HG, aggravates pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy by targeting phosphatase and tensin homolog. However, whether the MIR217HG transcript itself plays a role in cardiac remodeling remains unknown.
    Methods: Real-time PCR assays and RNA in situ hybridization were performed to detect MIR217HG expression. Lentiviruses and adeno-associated viruses with a cardiac-specific promoter (cTnT) were used to control MIR217HG expression in vitro and in vivo. Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed to develop cardiac remodeling models. Cardiac structure and function were analyzed using echocardiography and invasive pressure-volume analysis.
    Key findings: MIR217HG expression was increased in patients with heart failure. MIR217HG overexpression aggravated pressure-overload-induced myocyte hypertrophy and fibrosis both in vivo and in vitro, whereas MIR217HG knockdown reversed these phenotypes. Mechanistically, MIR217HG increased THBS1 expression by sponging miR-138. MiR-138 recognized the 3'UTR of THBS1 and repressed THBS1 expression in the absence of MIR217HG. Silencing THBS1 expression reversed MIR217HG-induced cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling.
    Conclusion: MIR217HG acts as a potent inducer of cardiac remodeling that may contribute to heart failure by activating the miR-138/THBS1 pathway.

    Abstract The photodegradation of NDMA has been extensively investigated under the irradiation of low-pressure or medium-pressure Hg lamps and xenon lamp. However, NDMA photolysis remains unknown under 365 nm ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED) irradiation. This study conducted a comprehensive investigation on NDMA photodegradation by 365 nm UV-LED illumination. The quantum yield of NDMA photolysis under 365 nm UV-LED irradiation was determined to be 0.0312 ± 0.0047. The influence of pH on NDMA photodegradation was found to be wavelength dependent. Compared with distilled and deionized water (DDW), tap water inhibited NDMA photodegradation, but secondary wastewater effluent did not. Based on the quantification of NDMA photolysis products and pH influence, the photooxidation of the excited NDMA in the nonprotonated form was proposed to be a major pathway for NDMA photodegradation under the irradiation of UV-LED lamp at 365 nm. This study further enhances our knowledge on NDMA photodegradation. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Quantum yield of NDMA photolysis at 365 nm was determined to be 0.0312 ± 0.0047. The influence of pH on NDMA photodegradation was wavelength dependent. NDMA photodegradation was inhibited in tap water compared with that in DDW. NDMA photodegradation in SWE was similar to that in DDW. Excited nonprotonated NDMA photooxidation is a major degradation pathway.
