    Abstract Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell invasion and migration assay data shown in Fig. 1B and C were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes, which had either already been published or were under consideration for publication at around the same time. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published prior to its submission to

    Abstract Neurons in sensory ganglia are wrapped completely by satellite glial cells (SGCs). One putative function of SGCs is to regulate the neuronal microenvironment, but this role has received only little attention. In this study we investigated whether the SGC envelope serves a barrier function and how SGCs may control the neuronal microenvironment. We studied this question on short-term (<24 h) cell cultures of dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglia from adult mice, which contain neurons surrounded with SGCs, and neurons that are not. Using calcium imaging, we measured neuronal responses to molecules with established actions on sensory neurons. We found that neurons surrounded by SGCs had a smaller response to molecules such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), glutamate, GABA, and bradykinin than neurons without glial cover. When we inhibited the activity of NTPDases, which hydrolyze the ATP, and also when we inhibited the glutamate and GABA transporters on SGCs, this difference in the neuronal response was no longer observed. We conclude that the SGC envelope does not hinder diffusional passage, but acts as a metabolic barrier that regulates the neuronal microenvironment, and can protect the neurons and modulate their activity.

    Abstract METTL3 is an important methyltransferase in N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. Recently, METTL3 mediates methylation of pri-microRNA (miRNA) to accelerate miRNA maturation, regulating tumor development. This study explored whether METTL3 mediated miR-99a-5p to influence oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell metastasis. MiR-99a-5p, ZBTB7A, and MATTL3 expression was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. Biological behaviors were assessed using cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, Transwell assay, as well as western blot. Luciferase reporter assay evaluated the interaction between miR-99a-5p and ZBTB7A. METTL3-regulated pri-miR-99a-5p processing was determined by RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) assays. The consequences clarified that miR-99a-5p was upregulated in OSCC cells. Downregulation of miR-99a-5p suppressed cellular viability, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and induced apoptosis. ZBTB7A acted as a miR-99a-5p target and reversed the effects on cellular behaviors induced by miR-99a-5p inhibitor. m6A content and METTL3 expression were increased in OSCC cells. METTL3 promoted the m6A modification of pri-miR-99a-5p and thereby facilitated miR-99a-5p processing. Moreover, knockdown of METTL3 inhibited OSCC metastasis by downregulating miR-99a-5p. Taken together, METTL3 promoted miR-99a-5p maturation in an m6A-dependent manner, which further targets ZBTB7A to accelerate the progression of OSCC. These findings suggest potential targets for OSCC therapy.

    Abstract Brain age is a promising biomarker for predicting chronological age based on brain imaging data. Although movie and resting-state functional MRI techniques have attracted much research interest for the investigation of brain function, whether the 2 different imaging paradigms show similarities and differences in terms of their capabilities and properties for predicting brain age remains largely unexplored. Here, we used movie and resting-state functional MRI data from 528 participants aged from 18 to 87 years old in the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience data set for functional network construction and further used elastic net for age prediction model building. The connectivity properties of movie and resting-state functional MRI were evaluated based on the connections supporting predictive model building. We found comparable predictive abilities of movie and resting-state connectivity in estimating brain age of individuals, as evidenced by correlation coefficients of 0.868 and 0.862 between actual and predicted age, respectively. Despite some similarities, notable differences in connectivity properties were observed between the predictive models using movie and resting-state functional MRI data, primarily involving components of the default mode network. Our results highlight that both movie and resting-state functional MRI are effective and promising techniques for predicting brain age. Leveraging its data acquisition advantages, such as improved child and patient compliance resulting in reduced motion artifacts, movie functional MRI is emerging as an important paradigm for studying brain function in pediatric and clinical populations.

    Abstract Introduction: Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is an orthopedic procedure that is relatively infrequently performed, but its use has been increasing over time. Infection remains one of the most concerning complications after TEA, although Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) as a microbial etiology, is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of M. tuberculosis infection after TEA.
    Patient concerns: A 45-year-old woman underwent TEA for severe traumatic arthritis of the elbow following failure of conservative treatment. Four months after TEA, the patient experienced progressive elbow pain and swelling, without other external signs of infection such as a sensation of local heating and erythematous alterations.
    Diagnosis: Pulmonary computed tomography showed stable pulmonary TB in the right upper lobe. The T-SPOT, TB, and purified protein derivative test results were positive, and M. tuberculosis exhibited growth on cultures. The final diagnosis was periprosthetic infection of M. tuberculosis.
    Interventions: The patient was treated with debridement with submission of deep tissue cultures. According to these cultures and suggestions of a bacteriologist, anti-TB treatment was administered for 12 months.
    Outcomes: The symptoms of the infection were controlled, and the prosthesis was retained. At the time of writing this case report, the elbow prosthesis had survived for more than 2 years, and no recurrent infection had been observed.
    Conclusion: The diagnosis of TB infection after TEA is difficult to confirm due to its nonspecific signs and symptoms. Despite the extremely low incidence, failure to consider this possibility for diagnosis can lead to delayed treatment. Proper diagnosis allows for antitubercular therapy with retention of a prosthesis.

    Abstract Introduction: Although venous thromboembolism (VTE) is relatively rare after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) can be fatal. Whether routine thromboprophylaxis or thrombolytic treatment is necessary for patients undergoing UKA remains unclear. Here, we present a case of delayed pulmonary embolism after UKA.
    Patient concerns: A 57-year-old women underwent cemented UKA for left localized medial knee pain. There were no risk factors of VTE besides high BMI before surgery. 2 months after surgery, the patient presented with dyspnea and palpitation, and these symptoms could not be alleviated after rest.
    Diagnosis: An arterial blood gas analysis showed decreased PO2, SO2 and PCO2. Pulmonary CTA showed multiple pulmonary embolism in the trunk of the right lower pulmonary artery and the branch of the left lower pulmonary arteries. The final diagnosis was delayed pulmonary embolism after UKA.
    Interventions: Urokinase thrombolysis was administered intravenously. Low molecular weight heparin and warfarin were prescribed for anticoagulation.
    Outcomes: The patient's symptoms abated, and chest CTA showed that the pulmonary embolism had dissolved. No further thrombosis has been observed for more than 6 years.
    Conclusions: We presented an unusual case of delayed pulmonary embolism after UKA. Despite the low incidence, its life-threatening nature makes it imperative for surgeons to be well-informed about thrombosis and pay more attention to its prevention strategies.

    Abstract Background: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an exceptionally aggressive malignant neoplasm that arises from either the germinal center or post-germinal center B cells. Patients with BL often present with rapid tumor growth and require high-intensity multi-drug therapy combined with adequate intrathecal chemotherapy prophylaxis, however, a standard treatment program for BL has not yet been established. It is important to identify biomarkers for predicting the prognosis of BLs and discriminating patients who might benefit from the therapy. Microarray data and sequencing information from public databases could offer opportunities for the discovery of new diagnostic or therapeutic targets.
    Aim: To identify hub genes and perform gene ontology (GO) and survival analysis in BL.
    Methods: Gene expression profiles and clinical traits of BL patients were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was applied to construct gene co-expression modules, and the cytoHubba tool was used to find the hub genes. Then, the hub genes were analyzed using GO and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. Additionally, a Protein-Protein Interaction network and a Genetic Interaction network were constructed. Prognostic candidate genes were identified through overall survival analysis. Finally, a nomogram was established to assess the predictive value of hub genes, and drug-gene interactions were also constructed.
    Results: In this study, we obtained 8 modules through WGCNA analysis, and there was a significant correlation between the yellow module and age. Then we identified 10 hub genes (

    Abstract The applications of red-light photobiomodulation (PBM) to enhance neurite growth have been proposed for many years. However, the detailed mechanisms require further studies. In the present work we used a focused red-light spot to illuminate the junction of the longest neurite and the soma of a neuroblastoma cell (N2a), and demonstrated enhanced neurite growth at 620 nm and 760 nm with adequate illumination energy fluences. In contrast, 680 nm light showed no effect on neurite growth. The neurite growth was accompanied with the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Using Trolox to reduce the ROS level, this red light-induced neurite growth was hindered. Suppressing the activities of cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) by using either a small-molecule inhibitor or siRNA abrogated the red light-induced neurite growth. These results suggest that red light-induced ROS production through the activation of CCO could be beneficial for neurite growth.

    Abstract This study investigated the cognition, information behaviors and preventive behaviors of Taiwanese citizens in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey was administered and 610 valid responses were collected. The relationships between demographic variables and optimistic bias, social trust, information credibility, personal protective measures, avoidance of human contact, and immune system strengthening were examined. Results showed that optimistic bias existed, but there was no significant correlation between optimistic bias and personal protective measures. Laypersons had high trust in the government, but also optimistic bias. Gender was the most important predictor; with occupation and region of residence also interacting with different preventive behaviors. People in Taiwan may be overly optimistic in facing the epidemic; relevant information should be properly disclosed to help reduce this bias. Social trust in the government seems to be an important successful factor in the fight against COVID-19 in Taiwan.
