    Abstract [Purpose] Dysphagia is a neurological symptom that is observed in more than half of patients with Wilson's disease. It is often associated with aspiration pneumonia, dehydration, and malnutrition, resulting in drastic reduction of the quality of life. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation could be an adjunct therapy for dysphagia treatment. However, there is limited data about the application of NMES for dysphagia in Wilson's disease. Thus, we explored the potential application of NMES for dysphagia treatment in Wilson's disease. [Participants and Methods] Sixty Wilson's disease patients who suffered from dysphagia were randomized into two groups. Swallowing function training was taught to the control group (n=30) while Neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy was given to treatment group (n=30). Eight weeks post treatment, using the water swallow test and the Standardized Swallowing Assessment, the swallowing function was determined. [Results] None of the patients experienced discomfort before, during or after the intervention. After 8 weeks of therapy, when compared to the control, an increased improvement in swallowing function was noted for the treatment group. [Conclusion] Neuromuscular electrical stimulation treatment can improve swallowing function in Wilson's disease patients afflicted with dysphagia. Therefore, it has the potential to be a form of therapy in clinical practice.

    Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignancy and is the third leading cause of cancer-related death. At present, there is no simple and effective screening method for early-stage GC, and the treatment results and prognosis are poor. With the continuous improvement of molecular biology techniques, research on circular RNA (circRNA) has gradually expanded over time. Much data supports the role of circRNA in tumorigenesis. Moreover, due to its structural specificity and biological stability, circRNA is anticipated to be a potential biomarker for tumor diagnosis. Studies have confirmed that circRNA can participate in the proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and apoptosis of GC. These findings will lead to novel directions for the diagnosis and treatment of GC. This article reviews the structure and function of circRNA, summarizes the current studies on circRNA, and discusses the potential diagnostic value of circRNA in GC.

    Abstract Inelastic electron transfer, regarded as one of the potential mechanisms to explain odorant recognition in atomic-scale processes, is still a matter of intense debate. Here, we study multiphonon processes of electron transfer using the Markvart model and calculate their lifetimes with the values of key parameters widely adopted in olfactory systems. We find that these multiphonon processes are as quick as the single phonon process, which suggests that contributions from different phonon modes of an odorant molecule should be included for electron transfer in olfaction. Meanwhile, the temperature dependence of electron transfer could be analyzed effectively based on the reorganization energy which is expanded into the linewidth of multiphonon processes. Our theoretical results not only enrich the knowledge of the mechanism of olfaction recognition, but also provide insights into quantum processes in biological systems.

    Abstract Objective To detect the gene mutations in patients with Adenocarcinoma at esophagogastric junction(AEG) and to analyze the effect of Involucrin (IVL) mutation on the biological function of tumor cells. Methods Whole exome sequencing was performed on cancerous and paired adjacent normal tissues from 22 AEG patients in Shanxi province. IVL was selected for further investigation of mutation sites. Esophagus cancer data from TCGA were divided into three groups based on IVL mutations. Differentially-expressed genes were screened and proceeded via Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. Cell proliferation and migration assays were performed to evaluate the effect of over-expression of IVL on KYSE 150 cells. Mutant IVL oligopeptides were synthesized and used to evaluate the binding activity with TGase1. Results Five IVL mutation sites were identified in 22 AEG. GO annotation indicated that these mutations were related to the epithelial differentiation and activity of cell differentiation regulation. KEGG analysis demonstrates that IVL mutations are associated with cAMP signaling pathway. IVL over-expression inhibits the proliferation and migration of esophageal cancer cells(P<0.05). In addition, Q439H mutant IVL oligopeptides shows lower binding affinity to TGase1 than wild-type oligopeptides. Conclusions The seventh amino acid mutation in IVL repeat motif does weaken IVL binding to TGase1. This mutation may affect tumor-related biological processes and signaling pathways.

    Abstract Drought stress is one of the main environmental factors limiting plant growth and development. Plants adapt to changing soil moisture by modifying root architecture, inducing stomatal closure, and inhibiting shoot growth. The AP2/ERF transcription factor DREB2A plays a key role in maintaining plant growth in response to drought stress, but the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains to be elucidated. Here, it was found that overexpression of MdDREB2A positively regulated nitrogen utilisation by interacting with DRE cis-elements of the MdNIR1 promoter. Meanwhile, MdDREB2A could also directly bind to the promoter of MdSWEET12, which may enhance root development and nitrogen assimilation, ultimately promoting plant growth. Overall, this regulatory mechanism provides an idea for plants in coordinating with drought tolerance and nitrogen assimilation to maintain optimal plant growth and development under drought stress.

    Abstract Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aureofaciens SPS-41 is a plant growth–promoting rhizobacterium with biocontrol potential that was isolated from the rhizosphere of sweet potato in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Our previous study demonstrated that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by SPS-41 inhibited black spot disease fungi Ceratocystis fimbriata in postharvest sweet potatoes and a variety of other plant pathogens, and the VOCs also displayed strong nematocidal activity. In order to further explore the application potential of this strain, we here report the complete genome sequence of strain SPS-41. The genome consists of one chromosome (6,757,898 bp) with a G+C content 63.10%, which contains 5,951 coding genes, 67 transfer RNA genes, 16 ribosome RNA genes, and 85 other non-coding RNA genes. No plasmid was detected. The information of the genome will provide resources for studying the biocontrol mechanism of this strain. Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).

    Abstract Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) gonad is the main by-product during processing. Our previous studies found that its Alcalase hydrolysates can act as a worthy precursor for Maillard reaction in the presence of ribose. Basing on the understanding of the characteristics of scallop female gonad hydrolysates (SFGHs)-ribose Maillard reaction products (MRPs), it was further extracted by different organic reagents and then was subjected to an in vitro digestion. The effects of digestion on the antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities of organic extracts from SFGHs-ribose MRPs were determined. Results showed that the scavenging activities of ethanol and methanol extracts on both ABTS·⁺ and DPPH·⁺ increased significantly before digestion, where methanol extracts were better than that of ethanol. However, the ·OH scavenging and linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition activities of MRPs were reduced in both extracts. Interestingly, there was a significant increase in the ABTS·⁺, ·OH scavenging activities and peroxidation inhibition capacity for all samples following digestion except for DPPH·⁺ scavenging activity. MRPs-methanol extracts showed the highest antimicrobial effect against Escherichia coli (E. coli) than other samples. Moreover, the HepG2 cell viability of MRPs-methanol extracts after digestion was increased to 89.58 %, which was 1.49, 1.26 and 1.14 times higher than H₂O₂-treated, SFGHs and MRPs group, respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that methanol extraction can improve the antioxidant capacity of SFGHs-ribose MRPs during digestion, and the corresponding extracts can be utilized as food antioxidants.

    Abstract Elevated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) closely associates with tumor progression and distant metastasis in various human cancers. However, the role of COX-2 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and its mechanistic details, remain poorly understood. In the present study, we tested hypothesis that COX-2 induces loss of expression of E-cadherin, with resulting promotion of cancer cells' invasiveness in ovarian cancer. First, we observed an inverse relationship between COX-2 and E-cadherin expression as COX-2 was enhanced but E-cadherin was decreased in surgically-resected specimens of EOC. Depletion of COX-2, by celecoxib treatment, resulted in attenuated nuclear translocation of Snail, and, in turn, significantly increased E-cadherin in EOC cell line SKOV3, which was established to be due to the reduced binding of Snail onto E-cadherin promoter. Such COX-2 inhibition resulted in reduced invasion of EOC cells, similar to what was achieved through Snail silencing in SKOV as well as ES-2 EOC cells. These results suggest that COX-2-Snail signaling plays a critical role in regulation of E-cadherin and might provide insights into mechanisms for paracrine inflammation-mediated aggressiveness in EOC.
