    Abstract Mental health issues, especially depressive disorders, are major burdens to the health care systems. This has been more pronounced since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often prescribed for depression. Uncommonly appreciated, however, are the adverse effects these agents may have on thyroid function laboratory test results as well as the clinical thyroidal functional status of such patients, which may lead to erroneous diagnoses and inappropriate treatments. We report on a depressed woman who developed abnormal thyroid biochemical laboratory reports during fluoxetine therapy. After changing to the serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine, the thyroid laboratory reports were normalized. In light of this, we wish to alert treating clinicians to this potential significant adverse effect.

    Abstract Farmland abandonment is a gradual, complex, and fragmented process that varied with time and space. How to identify the abandonment‐risk of farmland with a spatial explicit way is a challenge and a key step toward the efficient management and sustainability of regional agriculture. This paper introduced the quantification method of connectivity from landscape ecology, took the rural settlements as the source patches that farmers moved out with materials and energies into the sink patches of farmlands, and during the moving process the least‐cost path among settlements means the highest connectivity and the lowest risk of farmland abandonment. Then the new integrated framework for spatially quantifying the abandonment‐risk of farmland based on settlement connectivity combined with the least‐cost model (namely the FARBSC framework) was put forward and validated at the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces (HHRT) in Southwestern China. The verification and accuracy comparison of the FARBSC framework to the composite indicators and the buffer zone analysis of settlement were all indicated the efficiency of the new method. For the HHRT region, according to the FARBSC framework, the risky, weakly stable, stable, and highly stable zone is occupied 13.5%, 43.3%, 36.7%, and 6.5% of the land, respectively. The FARBSC framework had provided a quick and convenient way to mapping the risk area of farmland abandonment, especially for data‐lack remote rural mountainous areas, such rice terrace heritage sites in mountainous Asia. More detailed spatial data can be used to improve its accuracy in future studies.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze the mechanism of LINC00461 regulating the recurrence of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through microRNA (miR)-411-5p/BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) pathway.
    Methods: DLBCL samples in TCGA and GSE12453 were used for differential analysis to find long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) related to DLBCL recurrence. The 4 DLBCL data with the highest and lowest expression levels of LINC00461 in the TCGA database were selected for GSEA enrichment analysis. The targeting relationships of miR-411-5p with LINC00461 and BNIP3 were verified by the dual luciferase report. Blood samples from DLBCL patients were used to analyze the correlation between miR-411-5p and LINC00461 or BNIP3. LINC00461, miR-411-5p, or BNIP3 was overexpressed or silenced by transfection, and a tumor-bearing nude mice model was constructed to detect their effects on proliferation and apoptosis.
    Results: The level of LINC00461 in DLBCL was significantly higher than that in normal cases, and the level in recurrence DLBCL was significantly higher than that in nonrecurrence. The enrichment analysis results showed that the function of LINC00461 was closely related to apoptosis. The results shown that miR-411-5p bound to LINC00461 and BNIP3 and was negatively correlated with LINC00461 and BNIP3 mRNA in blood of DLBCL patients. Suppressing the level of LINC00461 inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. The inhibition of LINC00461 or overexpression of miR-411-5p reduced the expression of BNIP3 protein, thereby inducing apoptosis at the in vivo and in vitro levels.
    Conclusion: LINC00461 may induce miR-411-5p to "sponge," thereby increasing the expression of BNIP3 protein, and exerting the function of inhibiting apoptosis and promoting DLBCL recurrence.

    Abstract Sporadic reports of factitious elevations of thyroid hormones related to laboratory interference from autoantibodies and multiple myeloma paraproteins have appeared in the literature. Such clinically confusing laboratory results can lead to erroneous diagnoses and inappropriate treatments. We report an additional case of a patient with multiple myeloma and an IgG paraproteinemia who had such a spurious elevation of total T3 complicating her levothyroxine management of hypothyroidism. In addition, we alert clinicians that differences in performance characteristics between various manufacturers' test platforms may also cause spurious reports.

    Abstract Autophagy and the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) are two major protein degradation pathways involved in brain ischemia. Autophagy can compensate for UPS impairment‑induced cellular dysfunction. HECT, UBA and WWE domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (Huwe1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, serves critical roles in nervous system plasticity, regeneration and disease. However, the role of Huwe1 in autophagy in brain ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the crosstalk between autophagy and the UPS in brain ischemia. The present study established an oxygen‑glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) model in rat primary cortex neurons in vitro. Lentiviral interference was used to silence the expression of Huwe1. An autophagy promoter (rapamycin), an autophagy inhibitor (wortmannin) and a JNK pathway inhibitor (SP600125) were also used in the current study. Cellular autophagy‑related proteins, including Beclin‑1, autophagy related (ATG) 7, ATG5, ATG3 and microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 α, and apoptosis‑related proteins, such as P53, cleaved caspase 3, Bax and Bcl2, were detected via western blotting and immunocytochemistry. Neuronal apoptosis was evaluated using a TUNEL assay. The results demonstrated that silencing Huwe1 increased the expression levels of autophagy‑related proteins at 24 h after OGD/R. Treatment with a JNK inhibitor or cotreatment with Huwe1 shRNA significantly increased autophagy. Rapamycin increased apoptosis under OGD/R conditions. However, treatment with Huwe1 shRNA decreased the number of TUNEL‑positive cells at 24 h after OGD/R. Cotreatment with Huwe1 shRNA and wortmannin alleviated neuronal apoptosis under OGD/R conditions compared with cotreatment with DMSO. Collectively, the present results suggested that silencing Huwe1 was accompanied by a compensatory induction of autophagy under OGD/R conditions. Furthermore, the JNK pathway may be a key mediator of the interaction between Huwe1 and autophagy in response to UPS impairment.

    Abstract HECT, UBA and WWE domain-containing 1 (Huwe1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, is widely expressed in brain tissue. Huwe1 is involved in the turnover of numerous substrates, including p53, Mcl-1, Cdc6 and N-myc, thereby playing a critical role in apoptosis and neurogenesis. However, the role of Huwe1 in brain ischemia and reperfusion injury remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the role of Huwe1 in an in vitro model of ischemia and reperfusion injury. At 3 days in vitro, primary cortical neurons were transduced with a control or shRNA-Huwe1 lentiviral vector to silence expression of Huwe1. At 7 days in vitro, the cells were exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation for 3 hours and reperfusion for 24 hours. To examine the role of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/p38 pathway, cortical neurons were pretreated with a JNK inhibitor (SP600125) or a p38MAPK inhibitor (SB203508) for 30 minutes at 7 days in vitro, followed by ischemia and reperfusion. Neuronal apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL assay. Protein expression levels of JNK and p38MAPK and of apoptosis-related proteins (p53, Gadd45a, cleaved caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2) were measured by western blot assay. Immunofluorescence labeling for cleaved caspase-3 was performed. We observed a significant increase in neuronal apoptosis and Huwe1 expression after ischemia and reperfusion. Treatment with the shRNA-Huwe1 lentiviral vector markedly decreased Huwe1 levels, and significantly decreased the number of TUNEL-positive cells after ischemia and reperfusion. The silencing vector also downregulated the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and cleaved caspase-3, and upregulated the anti-apoptotic proteins Gadd45a and Bcl-2. Silencing Huwe1 also significantly reduced p-JNK levels and increased p-p38 levels. Our findings show that downregulating Huwe1 affects the JNK and p38MAPK signaling pathways as well as the expression of apoptosis-related genes to provide neuroprotection during ischemia and reperfusion. All animal experiments and procedures were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Sichuan University, China in January 2018 (approval No. 2018013).

    Abstract Background: The role of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
    Methods: We continued to collect the peripheral blood and bone marrows of human childhood patients diagnosed with primary B-ALL as well as non-leukemia controls and isolated lymphocytes for analysis using western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay. Then, we used immunofluorescence, co-immunoprecipitation, western blotting, luciferase, 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assays to identify the interaction of CFTR with Wnt signaling in B-ALL. Finally, we established B-ALL xenograft model in non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice using SUP-B15 cells, and examined whether the CFTR inhibitor CFTR-inh172 could active against SUP-B15-Dependent B-ALL
    Results: Highly expressed CFTR protein and mRNA are associated with primary childhood B-ALL patients. Aberrantly upregulated CFTR and Wnt signaling, our previously reported CFTR-Dvl2-β-catenin pathway, is found in human childhood B-ALL patients. Interference with CFTR in B-ALL cell lines induces the downregulation of DVL2/β-catenin and Wnt downstream target accompanied by a reduction of cell proliferation. Furthermore, B-ALL cell lines SUP-B15 cell-transplanted NOD/SCID mice treated with CFTR inhibitor CFTRinh-172 had significantly longer survival and slower leukemia progression compared with mice treated with vehicle dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
    Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that highly expressed CFTR is associated with human childhood B-ALL and the potential of CFTR inhibitor CFTR-inh172 for the treatment of human B-ALL.

    Abstract Epidermal inclusion cysts (EIC) are common benign lesions of the skin, ovaries, and testicles. However, their occurrence in thyroid gland is rare. We reported a case in which a 57-year-old male patient with history of nontoxic uninodular goiter presented with dysphonia and dysphagia. The cytology of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of the thyroid nodule revealed epidermal cyst. Despite the benign presentation. The patient underwent lobectomy to relieve his clinical symptoms and the surgical pathology exam confirmed the diagnosis of benign thyroid cyst, consistent with EIC of the thyroid.

    Abstract Many human diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, show annual increases in prevalence and often involve intestinal microbes. One such probiotic bacterium, Akkermansia muciniphila, which was discovered a decade ago, has been reported to influence glucose homeostasis and to contribute to gut health. Amuc_1100, a functionally uncharacterized protein of A. muciniphila, was found to be a key active component in reducing the body weight of mice. Here, the crystal structure of Amuc_1100 (residues 31-317), referred to as Amuc_1100*, is reported at 2.1 Å resolution. Amuc_1100* has a similar fold to three proteins related to pilus formation, PilO, PilN and EpsL, indicating a similar function. Biochemical investigations further confirmed a monomeric state for the soluble region of Amuc_1100, which differs from the dimeric states of PilO, PilN and EpsL. This study provides a structural basis for the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of Amuc_1100.

    Abstract Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetic disease among Caucasians and affects tissues including lung, pancreas and reproductive tracts. It has been shown that Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress and heat shock response are two major deregulated functional modules related to CFTR dysfunction. To identify the impact of CFTR deletion during spermatogenesis, we examined the expression of spermiogenesis-related genes in the testis of CFTR mutant mice (CF mice). We confirmed expression changes of MSY2, a germ cell specific RNA binding protein, resulting from deletion of CFTR in testis. Furthermore, real time PCR and Western blot results showed that an inflammatory response was activated in CF mice testis, as reflected by the altered expression of cytokines. We demonstrate for the first time that expression of MSY2 is decreased in CF mice. Our results suggest that CFTR deletion in testis influences inflammatory responses and these features are likely to be due to the unique environment of the seminiferous tubule during the spermatogenesis process. The current study also suggests avenues to understand the pathophysiology of CFTR during spermatogenesis and provides targets for the possible treatment of CFTR-related infertility.
