    Abstract Background: Ewing's sarcoma is an extremely aggressive bone sarcoma in teenagers and adolescents. We managed to identify the potential role of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in Ewing's sarcoma and its clinical prognostic value. Results: A total of 59 common differentially expressed FRGs were screened out. GO/KEGG enrichment and PPI network were executed. Based on 16 prognostic-related FRGs identified by univariate Cox regression in GSE17674, 2 molecular clusters were screened out via NMF consensus. Survival rate and immune infiltration were totally different in two clusters. Subsequently, multivariate/step Cox regression was conducted to identify 7 risk signatures (SLC2A1, PCK2, CHAC1, ATG13, PRKAA2, ARNT, and SIRT1). K-M survival (p = 1.785e-06) and ROC curves (with AUC value 0.816, 0877, 0.919 in 1, 3, 5 years) were plotted to assess the good predictive ability of risk model. ICGC dataset with K-M survival (p = 1.558e-02) and AUC value (0.886, 0.750, 0.709 in 1, 3, 5 years) was used to validate the risk model. Risk score and clinical features (gender, age stage status) were incorporated into a nomogram model. Immune microenvironment (IME) ingredients (ESTIMATE score, immune cells, immune-related pathways, and checkpoint genes) between two risk groups were also explored. High-risk group possessed an activated immune status compared to low-risk group. Finally, prognostic signatures exhibited perfect diagnostic ability in ES occurrence, and several drugs showed IC50 sensitivity to different risk groups. Conclusions: Our study identified 7 prognostic signatures of FRGs and explored related immune infiltration which provided new aspects for future research in Ewing's sarcoma.How to cite: Jiao X, Li Q, Xu X.

    Abstract Raman spectroscopy, as a kind of molecular vibration spectroscopy, provides abundant information for measuring components and molecular structure in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Currently, portable Raman spectrometers have simplified and made equipment application more affordable, albeit at the cost of sacrificing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Consequently, this necessitates a higher recognition rate from pattern recognition algorithms. Our study employs a feature fusion strategy to reduce the dimensionality of high-dimensional Raman spectra and enhance the discriminative information between normal tissues and tumors. In the conducted random experiment, the classifier achieved a performance of over 96% for all three average metrics: accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Additionally, we propose a multi-parameter serial encoding evolutionary algorithm (MSEA) and integrate it into the Adaptive Local Hyperplane K-nearest Neighbor classification algorithm (ALHK) for adaptive hyperparameter optimization. The implementation of serial encoding tackles the predicament of parallel optimization in multi-hyperparameter vector problems. To bolster the convergence of the optimization algorithm towards a global optimal solution, an exponential viability function is devised for nonlinear processing. Moreover, an improved elitist strategy is employed for individual selection, effectively eliminating the influence of probability factors on the robustness of the optimization algorithm. This study further optimizes the hyperparameter space through sensitivity analysis of hyperparameters and cross-validation experiments, leading to superior performance compared to the ALHK algorithm with manual hyperparameter configuration.

    Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness worldwide and a costly complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). DR severity is associated with DM duration; thus, DR has become more devastating to individuals and healthcare systems owing to the aging population and the significantly increased human lifespan.Aging is an irreversible cellular state characterized by long-term stagnation of the cell cycle from excessive stress or damage. Furthermore, aging plays a critical role in developing age-related diseases, but its effects (direct or indirect) on DR development remain considerably understudied. Nonetheless, some studies have demonstrated that aging-related degeneration and DR development share common risk factors, which helps explain the increased prevalence of DR and visual impairment in the elderly population.This review aims to provide some conceptual insight into aging and DR development, two intertwined pathophysiological processes, and discusses potential therapeutic strategies for DR, including prevention and treatment, during this era of longevity.

    Abstract Background: Gut microbiota dysbiosis involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). The characteristics of enterotypes in CRC development have not been determined.
    Objective: To characterize the gut microbiota of healthy, adenoma, and CRC subjects based on enterotype.
    Methods: The 16 S rRNA sequencing data from 315 newly sequenced individuals and three previously published datasets were collected, providing total data for 367 healthy, 320 adenomas, and 415 CRC subjects. Enterotypes were analyzed for all samples, and differences in microbiota composition across subjects with different disease states in each enterotype were determined. The predictive values of a random forest classifier based on enterotype in distinguishing healthy, adenoma, and CRC subjects were evaluated and validated.
    Results: Subjects were classified into one of three enterotypes, namely, Bacteroide- (BA_E), Blautia- (BL_E), and Streptococcus- (S_E) dominated clusters. The taxonomic profiles of these three enterotypes differed among the healthy, adenoma, and CRC cohorts. BA_E group was enriched with Bacteroides and Blautia; BL_E group was enriched by Blautia and Coprococcus; S_E was enriched by Streptococcus and Ruminococcus. Relative abundances of these genera varying among the three human cohorts. In training and validation sets, the S_E cluster showed better performance in distinguishing among CRC patients, adenoma patients, and healthy controls, as well as between CRC and non-CRC individuals, than the other two clusters.
    Conclusion: This study provides the first evidence to indicate that changes in the microbial composition of enterotypes are associated with disease status, thereby highlighting the diagnostic potential of enterotypes in the treatment of adenoma and CRC.

    Abstract Abstract Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) can cause neoplastic diseases in poultry and is still widely prevalent in China. Chicken telomerase reverse transcriptase (chTERT) is the core component of telomerase, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. Our previous studies showed that chTERT is overexpressed in ALV-J tumors, but the mechanism is still not completely clear. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the possible molecular mechanism of chTERT overexpression in ALV-J tumors from the perspective of DNA methylation and promoter mutation. Methylation sequencing of the chTERT amplicon showed that ALV-J replication promoted the methylation level of the chTERT promoter. And the methylation level of the chTERT promoter in ALV-J tumors was significantly higher than that in tumor-adjacent and normal tissues. Compared with the tumor-adjacent and normal tissues, the chTERT promoter in each ALV-J tumors tested had a mutation of −183 bp C > T, and 36.0% (9/25) of the tumors also had mutations of −184 bp T > C, −73 bp::GGCCC and −56 bp A > T in the chTERT promoter, which formed the binding sites for the transcription factors NFAT5, TFAP2A and ZEB1, respectively. The results of RT–qPCR and Western blotting showed that the occurrence of these mutations significantly increased the expression level of chTERT. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the high expression of chTERT in ALV-J tumors is positively correlated with the level of hypermethylation and mutation in its promoter, which provides a new perspective for further research on the molecular mechanism of chTERT in ALV-J tumorigenesis.

    Abstract More than 25% of all malignant tumors are digestive system tumors (DSTs), which mostly include esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, and colorectal cancer. DSTs have emerged as one of the prominent reasons of morbidity and death in many nations and areas around the world, posing a serious threat to human life and health. General treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical resection can poorly cure the patients and have a bad prognosis. A type of immunotherapy known as oncolytic virus therapy, have recently shown extraordinary anti-tumor effectiveness. One of the viruses that has been the subject of the greatest research in this field, the herpes simplex virus (HSV), has shown excellent potential in DSTs. With a discussion of HSV-1 based on recent studies, we outline the therapeutic effects of HSV on a number of DSTs in this review. Additionally, the critical function of HSV in the detection of cancers is discussed, and some HSV future possibilities are shown.

    Abstract Abstract In this study, we present a novel surgical method that utilizes the ultrasonic bone scalpel (UBS) for the removal of large retrovertebral osteophytes in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and evaluate its safety and efficacy in comparison to the traditional approach of using high-speed drill (HSD). A total of 56 patients who underwent ACDF for retrovertebral osteophytes were selected. We recorded patients' baseline information, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, JOA and VAS scores, and other relevant data. The mean operation time and the mean intraoperative blood loss in the UBS group were less than those in the HSD group (P < 0.05). Although both groups exhibited considerable improvements in JOA and VAS scores following surgery, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Additionally, no significant disparities were found in bone graft fusion between the two groups at 6- and 12-months postsurgery. Notably, neither group exhibited complications such as dura tear or spinal cord injury. Our study found that the use of UBS reduced operative time, minimized surgical bleeding, and led to clinical outcomes comparable to HSD in ACDF. This technique offers an effective and safe method of removing large retrovertebral osteophytes.

    Abstract In recent years, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is widely used for surface modification of materials to improve the catalytic performance for removing pollutants, e.g., CO, hydrocarbons, heavy metal ions, and organic pollutants, and much progress has been achieved. In this review, we summarize the recent development of ALD applications in environmental remediation from the perspective of surface modification approaches, including conformal coating, uniform particle deposition, and area-selective deposition. Through the ALD conformal coating, the activity of photocatalysts improved. Uniform particle deposition is used to prepare nanostructured catalysts via ALD for removal of air pollutions and dyes. Area-selective deposition is adopted to cover the specific defects on the surface of materials and synthesize bimetallic catalysts to remove CO and other contaminations. In addition, the design strategy of catalysts and shortcomings of current studies are discussed in each section. At last, this review points out some potential research trends and comes up with a few routes to further improve the performance of catalysts via ALD surface modification and deeper investigate the ALD reaction mechanisms.

    Abstract Abstract This research aimed to analyze the regulatory effect of chicken telomerase reverse transcriptase (chTERT) on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and its effect on the tumorigenicity of avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) through in vivo experiments. The chTERT eukaryotic expression plasmid and its recombinant lentivirus particles were constructed for in vivo transfection of chTERT to analyze the effect of chTERT continuously overexpressed in chickens on the tumorigenicity of ALV-J. During 156 days of the artificial ALV-J tumor-inducing process, 7 solid tumors developed in 3 chickens in the chTERT-overexpression group (n = 26*2) and no tumors developed in the control group (n = 26*2). Another 18 tumors induced by ALV-J were confirmed and collected from breeding poultry farms. And we confirmed that chTERT was significantly highly expressed in ALV-J tumors. The ELISA data suggested that the protein levels of β-catenin and c-Myc in the chicken plasma of the chTERT-overexpressing group with ALV-J infected were consistently and significantly higher than those of the control group. Compared with that of the tumor-adjacent tissues, the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and expression of the c-Myc was significantly increased in ALV-J tumors. And the percentage of apoptosis in ALV-J tumors significantly lower than that in tumor-adjacent tissues. Immunohistochemistry, Western blot and RT-qPCR suggested that the replication level of ALV-J in tumors was significantly higher than that in tumor-adjacent tissues. This study suggests that chTERT plays a critical role in the tumorigenicity of ALV-J by enhancing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which will contribute to further elucidating the tumor-inducing mechanism of ALV-J.
