    Abstract Background: Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting millions worldwide, is influenced by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Although gut microbiota's role in skin health is well-acknowledged, definitive causal links between gut microbiota and rosacea remain under-explored.
    Methods: Using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) design, this study examined potential causal relationships between gut microbiota and rosacea. Data was sourced from the largest Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) for gut microbiota and the FinnGen biobank for rosacea. A total of 2078 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with gut microbiota were identified and analyzed using a suite of MR techniques to discern causal effects.
    Results: The study identified a protective role against rosacea for two bacterial genera: phylum Actinobacteria and genus Butyrivibrio. Furthermore, 14 gut microbiota taxa were discovered to exert significant causal effects on variant categories of rosacea. While none of these results met the strict False Discovery Rate correction threshold, they retained nominal significance. MR outcomes showed no pleiotropy, with homogeneity observed across selected SNPs. Directionality tests pointed toward a robust causative path from gut microbiota to rosacea.
    Conclusion: This study provides compelling evidence of the gut microbiota's nominal causal influence on rosacea, shedding light on the gut-skin axis's intricacies and offering potential avenues for therapeutic interventions in rosacea management. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore their clinical implications.

    Abstract Background: Port wine stains (PWS) are vascular malformations, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment. Emerging drug delivery method employs nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance drug permeability and retention in diseased blood vessels and improving drug bioavailability. (-) -epigallocatechin-3-gallate glycine (EGCG) has anti-angiogenetic effects and boosts photodynamic therapy. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) is capable of efficiently producing singlet oxygen, rendering it a very promising photosensitizer for utilization in nanomedicine.
    Material and methods: EGCG-Ce6-NPs were synthesized and characterized using various techniques. The photodynamic effects of EGCG-Ce6-NPs on endothelial cells were evaluated. The compatibility and toxicity of the nanoparticle was tested using the CCK-8 assay. The intracellular uptake of the nanoparticle was observed using an inverted fluorescence microscope, and the intracellular fluorescence intensity was detected using flow cytometry. The ROS generation and apoptosis induced by EGCG-Ce6-NPs was observed using confocal laser scanning microscope and flow cytometry respectively.
    Results: EGCG-Ce6-NPs exhibited stability, spherical shape of uniform size while reducing the particle diameter, low polydisperse profile and retaining the ability to effectively generate singlet oxygen. These characteristics suggest promising potential for enhancing drug permeability and retention. Additionally, EGCG-Ce6-NPs demonstrated good compatibility with endothelial cells and enhanced intracellular uptake of Chlorin e6. Furthermore, EGCG-Ce6-NPs increased activation efficiency, induced significant toxicity, more reactive oxygen species, and higher rate of late apoptosis after laser irradiation.
    Conclusion: This in vitro study showed the potentials EGCG-Ce6-NPs for the destruction of endothelial cells in vasculature.

    Abstract PLTP plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism and cardiovascular disease development in humans; however, the mechanisms are still not completely understood. In mouse models, PLTP deficiency reduces cardiovascular disease, while its overexpression induces it. Therefore, we used mouse models to investigate the involved mechanisms. In this chapter, the recent main progresses in the field of PLTP research are summarized, and our focus is on the relationship between PLTP and lipoprotein metabolism, as well as PLTP and cardiovascular diseases.

    Abstract To clarify the effect of pH on the structure and functional traits of soil microbial communities in purple soils, three purple upland soils developed from the same parent material that differed in pH were selected as the research objects, and metagenomic shotgun sequencing was used to investigate the structure and functional traits of the microbial communities among different pH soils. The shotgun sequencing identified a total of 89 phyla, 222 classes, 527 orders, 1009 families, 2769 genera, and 14354 species in these soils. Regardless of the phylogenetic classification level, the microbial community structures of these three purple soils with different pHs were significantly different. RDA results corroborated the highly significant difference in the microbial community structures among the three purple soils with different pHs, and the soil properties tested here all had significant correlations with soil microbial community structure, in which the soil pH had the greatest effect (

    Abstract The sphingomyelin synthase (SMS) gene family has three members: SMS1 and SMS2 have SM synthase activity, while SMS-related protein (SMSr) has no SM synthase activity but has ceramide phosphorylethanolamine (CPE) synthase activity in vitro. Recently, we found that SMS family members are a group of phospholipase Cs (PLC). SMS1 and SMS2 are two phosphatidylcholine (PC)-PLCs and SMSr is a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-PLC. SMS family members not only influence SM levels but also influence the levels of diacylglycerol (DAG), PC, PE, and glycosphingolipids, thus influencing cell functions. In this chapter, we will discuss the recent progress in the research field of SMS family and will focus on its impact on metabolic diseases.
