    Abstract Motivation: Ubiquitination is widely involved in protein homeostasis and cell signaling. Ubiquitin E3 ligases are critical regulators of ubiquitination that recognize and recruit specific ubiquitination targets for the final rate-limiting step of ubiquitin transfer reactions. Understanding the ubiquitin E3 ligase activities will provide knowledge in the upstream regulator of the ubiquitination pathway and reveal potential mechanisms in biological processes and disease progression. Recent advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics have enabled deep profiling of ubiquitylome in a quantitative manner. Yet, functional analysis of ubiquitylome dynamics and pathway activity remains challenging.
    Results: Here, we developed a UbE3-APA, a computational algorithm and stand-alone python-based software for Ub E3 ligase Activity Profiling Analysis. Combining an integrated annotation database with statistical analysis, UbE3-APA identifies significantly activated or suppressed E3 ligases based on quantitative ubiquitylome proteomics datasets. Benchmarking the software with published quantitative ubiquitylome analysis confirms the genetic manipulation of SPOP enzyme activity through overexpression and mutation. Application of the algorithm in the re-analysis of a large cohort of ubiquitination proteomics study revealed the activation of PARKIN and the co-activation of other E3 ligases in mitochondria depolarization-induced mitophagy process. We further demonstrated the application of the algorithm in the DIA (data-independent acquisition)-based quantitative ubiquitylome analysis.

    Abstract Objectives: To explore the role of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) mediated by the TGF-β/SMAD signalling pathway in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
    Methods: Serum levels of TGF-β1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 48 patients with AS and 15 healthy subjects. The expression levels of TGF-β1, SMAD7, CTGF, CD34 and EndMT-related markers (α-SMA, vimentin, FSP-1, VE-cadherin) in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of three AS patients were detected by immunohistochemistry, and three non-spondyloarthritis (SpA) autopsy samples were used as controls.
    Results: Serum TGF-β1 level of AS patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls (22971 ± 7667 pg/ml vs. 14837±4653 pg/ml, p<0.01). Compared with the non-SpA control group, the microvascular density (MVD) at the pannus formation site of SIJ in AS patients was significantly increased, accompanied by respectively increased expressions of TGF-β1, CTGF, α-SMA, vimentin, and FSP-1 (all p<0.05), whereas respectively decreased expressions of VE-cadherin and SMAD7 (p<0.01). The expression level of FSP-1 was positively correlated with levels of TGF-β1 and MVD, and negatively correlated with SMAD7.
    Conclusions: Our findings show that EndMT is involved in the promotion of pannus formation by TGF-β/SMAD signalling pathway activation in AS.

    Abstract Objectives: Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) and transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) have shown the prospection as minimally invasive procedures. Here we aimed to compare ovarian cystectomy assisted by vNOTES and by LESS for ovarian mature cystic teratoma (OMCT).
    Material and methods: A total of 81 premenopausal women with OMCT were randomized to undergo ovarian cystectomy assisted by either vNOTES (n = 41) or LESS (n = 40). The main outcome was the operative time. Secondary outcomes included the length of hospital stay, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, abdominal contamination by teratoma contents, and intraoperative and postoperative complications.
    Results: There were no intergroup differences in age, body mass index, tumor size, or bilaterality of tumor. The operative time for the vNOTES group was significantly shorter than that for the LESS group (68.41 ± 20.92 min vs 85.05 ± 32.94 min, p = 0.008). The highest VAS pain score 24 hours postoperatively was 1.21 ± 0.48 in the vNOTES group and 2.43 ± 0.57 in the LESS group (p < 0.001). Twenty-four of the 40 patients in the LESS group experienced teratoma rupture intraoperatively, leading to abdominal contamination by the teratoma content, while 5 abdominal contamination was observed in the vNOTES group (p = 0.005. No significant differences between the two groups were observed in the other outcomes.
    Conclusions: vNOTES assisted ovarian cystectomy has short operative time, fast recovery, no scarring, less pain, and low rate of abdominal contamination. Consequently, vNOTES might be superior to LESS for treating OMCTs.

    Abstract Compared with the conventional multiport laparoscopy, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) have shown their advantages in the postoperative cosmetic effect, which promotes the rapid development of these technologies in gynecology in recent years. LESS and transvaginal NOTES (vNOTES) are more difficult to operate and both have longer learning curves than multiport laparoscopy. A comprehensive understanding of the operative techniques in LESS may facilitate its wider application. Currently LESS and vNOTES are used mostly for treatment of benign gynecological diseases, and their application in treatment of malignancies remains challenging and controversial. Some robotic platforms overcome the limitation of human hands, and may represent the future direction of gynecological surgeries.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of static guided implant placement with intraoral scanning technology and to analyze the influencing factors of guided surgery.
    Methods: Totally 27 cases were included in this retrospective study. The implant designs were made in 3Shape Implant Studio and then guided implant surgeries were performed with CAD-CAM templates. Postoperative implant positions were detected with an intraoral scanner (3Shape TRIOS) and deviation of implantation was evaluated using established CAD/CAM based evaluation method. SAS 9.4 software package was used for data analysis.
    Results: The mean deviation of entrance point and apical point was (1.182±0.609) mm and (1.658±0.741) mm, respectively. Angular deviation was (5.712±3.347)°. Implant quadrant, location of the implant site, guidance degree, supporting type and implant size influenced direction deviation, while angular deviation was mainly affected by guidance degree and number of missing teeth.
    Conclusions: Accuracy of static guided implant placement can be influenced by many factors. More research is needed to improve the accuracy of static guided implantation.

    Abstract Food packaging films play a vital role in preserving and protecting food. However, due to their non-biodegradability, conventional packaging materials have led to significant environmental pollution. To overcome this hurdle, we have developed safe, innovative, sustainable and biodegradable packaging materials that can effectively extend the shelf life of food. In this study, two types of cellulose materials cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with complementary roles were combined to prepare nanocellulose composite films with high transparency (90.3 %) of a certain thickness (30 ± 0.019 μm) by solution casting method, and their mechanical properties were further optimized by the addition of plasticizer-glycerol (Gly) and cross-linking agent-glutaraldehyde (GA), so as to maintain the strong tensile strength (≈112.60 MPa) and better malleability (4.12 %). In addition, we loaded the natural active agent tea polyphenols (TPs) with different concentrations to study the inhibition effect on E.coli and S.aureus and to simulate food packaging. Finally, we also found that the synthesized nanocellulose composite films can also achieve rapid degradation in a short time through soil burial, water flushing and immersion. The excellent performance demonstrated in this study provides reference value for further replacing petroleum-based materials with biomass materials in the field of food packaging.

    Abstract Iron and oxygen deficiencies are common features in pathophysiological conditions, such as ischemia, neurological diseases, and cancer. Cellular adaptive responses to such deficiencies include repression of mitochondrial respiration, promotion of angiogenesis, and cell cycle control. We applied a systematic proteomics analysis to determine the global proteomic changes caused by acute hypoxia and chronic and acute iron deficiency (ID) in hippocampal neuronal cells. Our analysis identified over 8600 proteins, revealing similar and differential effects of each treatment on activation and inhibition of pathways regulating neuronal development. In addition, comparative analysis of ID-induced proteomics changes in cultured cells and transcriptomic changes in the rat hippocampus identified common altered pathways, indicating specific neuronal effects. Transcription factor enrichment and correlation analysis identified key transcription factors that were activated in both cultured cells and tissue by iron deficiency, including those implicated in iron regulation, such as HIF1, NFY, and NRF1. We further identified MEF2 as a novel transcription factor whose activity was induced by ID in both HT22 proteome and rat hippocampal transcriptome, thus linking iron deficiency to MEF2-dependent cellular signaling pathways in neuronal development. Taken together, our study results identified diverse signaling networks that were differentially regulated by hypoxia and ID in neuronal cells.

    Abstract Radical hysterectomy (RH) may cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) for patients with cervical cancer. Few data are available on the long-term LUTS of these patients and whether the symptoms relate to the route of surgery remain unclear. Here, we assessed the long-term urinary dysfunction in cervical cancer patients after RH based on a self-reported questionnaire. A total of 168 patients after type C2 RH, either by laparoscopy (LRH) or laparotomy (ARH), were analysed. The median length of follow-up was 54 ± 8.35 months. The total incidence of urinary dysfunction was around 40%. Patients with LRH had more intermittent stream and feeling of incomplete emptying than those in ARH group. Our data indicate the irreversible damage of RH to urinary function of cervical cancer patients, who should be informed of the long-term and high incidence of urinary dysfunction after RH when they choose surgical treatment.Impact Statement

    Abstract Proline hydroxylation (Hyp) regulates protein structure, stability, and protein-protein interaction. It is widely involved in diverse metabolic and physiological pathways in cells and diseases. To reveal functional features of the Hyp proteome, we integrated various data sources for deep proteome profiling of the Hyp proteome in humans and developed HypDB (https://www.HypDB.site), an annotated database and web server for Hyp proteome. HypDB provides site-specific evidence of modification based on extensive LC-MS analysis and literature mining with 14,413 nonredundant Hyp sites on 5,165 human proteins including 3,383 Class I and 4,335 Class II sites. Annotation analysis revealed significant enrichment of Hyp on key functional domains and tissue-specific distribution of Hyp abundance across 26 types of human organs and fluids and 6 cell lines. The network connectivity analysis further revealed a critical role of Hyp in mediating protein-protein interactions. Moreover, the spectral library generated by HypDB enabled data-independent analysis (DIA) of clinical tissues and the identification of novel Hyp biomarkers in lung cancer and kidney cancer. Taken together, our integrated analysis of human proteome with publicly accessible HypDB revealed functional diversity of Hyp substrates and provides a quantitative data source to characterize Hyp in pathways and diseases.
