    Abstract Talaromyces marneffei is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus that mainly affects HIV-positive individuals endemic to Southeast Asia and China. Increasing efforts have been made in the pathogenic mechanism and host interactions understanding of this pathogen in the last two decades; however, there are still no conclusions on how T. marneffei was transmitted from the donor bamboo rats to humans. A perception that the failure of fungus isolation from soil was attributed to the low salt tolerance of T. marneffei. Therefore, the effect of environmental fluctuations in fungal growth and development is fundamental for the characterization of its origin and fungal biology understanding. Herein, we characterized high osmolarity, pH, metal ions, nutrients, and oxidative stress have versatile effects on T. marneffei hyphal or yeast growth, conidia generation, and pigment production. Among these, high pH, low glucose amounts, and the inorganic nitrogen ammonium tartrate stimulated the red pigment production, whereas high osmolarity, high pH, and the inorganic nitrogen sodium nitrate could significantly accelerate the conidia generation. Specifically, zinc starvation repressed conidia generation and prevented the wrinkled yeast colony formation, indicating the function of zinc regulators in pathogenicity regulation. Since conidia are recognized as the infectious propagules, the effects characterization of different environmental factors in T. marneffei morphology in this work will not only expand the growth and pathogenic biology understanding of the fungus but also provide more clues for the T. marneffei infection transmission origin investigation.

    Abstract This report aimed to identity the potential anti-meningitis targets and mechanisms functioned by calycosin through network pharmacology approach. The bioinformatics databases were used to screen and collect the candidate genes/targets of calycosin and meningitis prior to identification of vital biotargets of calycosin-anti-meningitis. Additionally, the functional processes, signaling pathways of calycosin-anti-meningitis were screened and identified before further data visualization. As a result, all candidate and mapped biotargets of calycosin and meningitis were harvested before the vital targets of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM), estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1), caspase-8 (CASP8), nerve growth factor (NGF) of calycosin-anti-meningitis were identified. The molecular processes of calycosin-anti-meningitis were screened and identified, including reduction of inflammatory development. Furthermore, the molecular pathways of calycosin-anti-meningitis were revealed, including suppression of NF-kappa B, Toll-like receptor, TNF signaling pathways. Molecular docking findings uncovered the docking capacity of calycosin with meningitis and potential pharmacological activity of calycosin against meningitis. In conclusion, these bioinformatic data uncovered the network targets and mechanisms of calycosin-anti-meningitis. And the current findings indicated that the vital targets might be used as potent biomarkers for detecting meningitis.

    Abstract Background: Lead (Pb), an environmental neurotoxicant, is known to induce cognitive impairment. Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the brain tissue are common pathogenetic links to Pb-induced cognitive impairment. There are no existing biomarkers to evaluate Pb-reduced cognition. Plasma metabolites are the readout of the biological functions of the host, making it a potential biomarker for assessing heavy metal-induced cognitive impairment.
    Methods: The present report aims to identify the plasma metabolite changes under conditions of high plasma Pb levels and low cognition.
    Results: We conducted a comparative plasma metabolomic analysis on two groups of adults those with low plasma Pb level and high cognition vs. those with high plasma Pb level and low cognition and identified 20 dysregulated metabolites. In addition, we found a significant reduction in docosahexaenoic acid, glycoursodeoxycholic acid, and arachidonic acid, and significant induction of p-cresol sulfate and phenylacetyl-l-glutamine. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis highlighted the importance of these plasma metabolites in brain functions and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
    Conclusions: The findings of this report provide novel insights into the use of plasma metabolites to assess metal-induced cognitive impairment.

    Abstract Viral diseases are among the most critical damaging factors that impose a global threat to the cucurbit industry. China is the world's leading country for the production and consumption of cucurbits. Guangdong, a province in southern China dominated by the tropical and subtropical climate, favors the survival of different plant viruses and their vectors. Five main cucurbit crops showing various disease symptoms were surveyed and collected to identify viruses infecting cucurbits in Guangdong during 2018–2020. In the field, the incidence ranged from 5–30%, or even 60–100% in the case of severely infected cucurbits. A total of 357 symptomatic samples were collected and subsequently screened for cucurbit viruses by small RNA deep sequencing and assembly (sRSA). Seventeen virus species belonging to 10 genera were identified in the five main cucurbit crops. The most common viruses were papaya ringspot virus (PRSV; Potyvirus), zucchini tigre mosaic virus (ZTMV; Potyvirus), zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV; Potyvirus), and watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMoV; Orthotospovirus), with infection rates of 24.4, 19.0, 17.1, and 14.3%, respectively. Notably, the most prevalent viruses were melon yellow spot orthotospovirus (MYSV) in cucumber, PRSV in squash, cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV; Tobamovirus) in bottle gourd, WSMoV in white gourd, and ZYMV in luffa. Mixed infections were prevalent, and the types of mixed infections varied substantially in different cucurbit crops. Moreover, the full-length nucleotide sequences of watermelon green mottle mosaic virus (WGMMV), CGMMV, and watermelon virus A (WVA; Wamavirus) identified in bottle gourd were cloned and analyzed. This study is the first reporting WGMMV infecting bottle gourd in China mainland. In summary, the results demonstrate that in Guangdong, the most prevalent viruses belong to potyviruses, orthotospoviruses, and tobamoviruses groups. The findings will facilitate agricultural researchers and farmers to plan and implement effective disease control strategies aiming at timely detection and management of cucurbit-infecting viral pathogens.

    Abstract Abstract Background Weifuchun (WFC), a Chinese herbal prescription consisting of Red Ginseng, Isodon amethystoides and Fructus Aurantii, is commonly used in China to treat a variety of chronic stomach disorders. The aim of the paper was to determine the effect of WFC on intestinal microbiota changes in precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) patients. Methods PLGC patients of H. pylori negative were randomly divided into two groups and received either WFC tablets for a dose of 1.44 g three times a day or vitacoenzyme (Vit) tablets for a dose of 0.8 g three times a day. All patients were treated for 6 months consecutively. Gastroscopy and histopathology were used to assess the histopathological changes in gastric tissues before and after treatment. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was carried out to assess the effects WFC on intestinal microbiota changes in PLGC patients. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to assess the sensitivity and specificity of different intestinal microbiota in distinguishing between PLGC patients and healthy control group. Results Gastroscopy and histopathological results indicated that WFC could improve the pathological condition of PLGC patients, especially in the case of atrophy or intestinal metaplasia. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that WFC could regulate microbial diversity, microbial composition, and abundance of the intestinal microbiota of PLGC patients. Following WFC treatment, the relative abundance of Parabacteroides decreased in WFC group when compared with the Vit group. ROC analysis found that the Parabacteroides could effectively distinguish PLGC patients from healthy individuals with sensitivity of 0.79 and specificity of 0.8. Conclusions WFC could slow down the progression of PLGC by regulating intestinal microbiota abundance. Trial registration NCT03814629.
