    Abstract Background: While Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is associated with altered brain structure, it is not clear whether gene expression changes mirror the onset and evolution of pathology in distinct brain regions. Deciphering the mechanisms which cause the differential manifestation of the disease across different regions has the potential to help early diagnosis.
    Objective: We aimed to identify common and unique endotypes and their regulation in tangle-free neurons in sporadic AD (SAD) across six brain regions: entorhinal cortex (EC), hippocampus (HC), medial temporal gyrus (MTG), posterior cingulate (PC), superior frontal gyrus (SFG), and visual cortex (VCX).
    Methods: To decipher the states of tangle-free neurons across different brain regions in human subjects afflicted with AD, we performed analysis of the neural transcriptome. We explored changes in differential gene expression, functional and transcription factor target enrichment, and co-expression gene module detection analysis to discern disease-state transcriptomic variances and characterize endotypes. Additionally, we compared our results to tangled AD neuron microarray-based study and the Allen Brain Atlas.
    Results: We identified impaired neuron function in EC, MTG, PC, and VCX resulting from REST activation and reversal of mature neurons to a precursor-like state in EC, MTG, and SFG linked to SOX2 activation. Additionally, decreased neuron function and increased dedifferentiation were linked to the activation of SUZ12. Energetic deficit connected to NRF1 inactivation was found in HC, PC, and VCX.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that SAD manifestation varies in scale and severity in different brain regions. We identify endotypes, such as energetic shortfalls, impaired neuronal function, and dedifferentiation.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has immensely impacted global health causing colossal damage. The recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has increased the quest to explore phytochemicals as treatment options. We summarize phytochemicals with activity against various coronaviruses including SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). We compiled 705 phytochemical compounds through text mining of 893 PubMed articles. The physicochemical properties including molecular weight, lipophilicity, and the number of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors were determined from the structures of these compounds. A structure-based evaluation of these properties with respect to drug likeness showed that most compounds have a positive score of drug likeness. QSAR analysis showed that 5 descriptors, namely polar surface area, relative polar surface area, number of hydrogen bond donors, solubility, and lipophilicity, are significantly related to IC50. We envisage that these phytochemicals could be further explored for developing new potential therapeutic molecules for COVID-19.

    Abstract Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling is the master regulator of inflammatory pathways; therefore, its regulation has been the subject of investigation since last two decades. Multiple models have been published that describes the dynamics of NF-κB activity by stimulated activation and feedback loops. However, there is also paramount evidence of the critical role of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in the regulation of NF-κB pathway. With the premise that PTMs present alternate routes for activation or repression of the NF-κB pathway, we have developed a model including all PTMs known so far describing the system behavior. We present a pathway network model consisting of 171 proteins forming 315 molecular species and consisting of 482 reactions that describe the NF-κB activity regulation in totality. The overexpression or knockdown of interacting molecular partners that regulate NF-κB transcriptional activity by PTMs is used to infer the dynamics of NF-κB activity and offers qualitative agreement between model predictions and the experimental results heuristically. Finally, we have demonstrated an instance of NF-κB constitutive activation through positive upregulation of cytokines (the stimuli) and IKK complex (NF-κB activator), the characteristic features in several cancer types and metabolic disorders, and its reversal by employing combinatorial activation of PPARG, PIAS3, and P50-homodimer. For the first time, we have presented a NF-κB model that includes transcriptional regulation by PTMs and presented a theoretical strategy for the reversal of NF-κB constitutive activation. The presented model would be important in understanding the NF-κB system, and the described method can be used for other pathways as well.

    Abstract Increasing fungal infections in immunocompromised hosts are a growing concern for global public health. Along with treatments, preventive measures are required. The emergence of reverse vaccinology has opened avenues for using genomic and proteomic data from pathogens in the design of vaccines. In this work, we present a comprehensive collection of various computational tools and databases with potential to aid in vaccine development. The ongoing pandemic has directed attention toward the increasing number of mucormycosis infections in COVID-19 patients. As a case study, we developed a computational pipeline for assisting vaccine development for mucormycosis. We obtained 6 proteins from 29,447 sequences from UniProtKB as potential vaccine candidates against mucormycosis, fulfilling multiple criteria. These criteria included potential characteristics, namely adhesin properties, surface or extracellular localization, antigenicity, no similarity to any human proteins, nonallergenicity, stability

    Abstract Background: Biomedical research often involves contextual integration of multimodal and multiomic data in search of mechanisms for improved diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. Researchers need to access information from diverse sources, comprising data in various and sometimes incongruent formats. The downstream processing of the data to decipher mechanisms by reconstructing networks and developing quantitative models warrants considerable effort.
    Results: MetGENE is a knowledge-based, gene-centric data aggregator that hierarchically retrieves information about the gene(s), their related pathway(s), reaction(s), metabolite(s), and metabolomic studies from standard data repositories under one dashboard to enable ease of access through centralization of relevant information. We note that MetGENE focuses only on those genes that encode for proteins directly associated with metabolites. All other gene-metabolite associations are beyond the current scope of MetGENE. Further, the information can be contextualized by filtering by species, anatomy (tissue), and condition (disease or phenotype).
    Conclusions: MetGENE is an open-source tool that aggregates metabolite information for a given gene(s) and presents them in different computable formats (e.g., JSON) for further integration with other omics studies. MetGENE is available at https://bdcw.org/MetGENE/index.php.

    Abstract Background and aims: Ultrasound-guided central venous (CV) cannulation is the standard of care for inserting CV catheter in the right internal jugular vein (RIJV). However, mechanical complications can still occur. The primary objective of this study was to compare the incidence of posterior vessel wall puncture (PVWP) using conventional needle holding technique with pen holding method of needle holding technique for IJV cannulation. Secondary objectives were comparison of other mechanical complications, access time and ease of the procedure.
    Methods: This prospective, randomised parallel-group study included 90 patients. Patients requiring ultrasound-guided RIJV cannulation under general anaesthesia were randomised into two groups P (n = 45) and C (n = 45). In group C, the RIJV was cannulated using the conventional needle holding technique. In group P, the pen holding method of needle holding technique was used. Incidence of PVWP, complications (arterial puncture, haematoma) number of attempts for successful cannulation, time to insertion of guidewire and performer's ease were compared. The data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 24.0). A
    Results: In our study, there was no significant difference in incidence of PVWP and complications between the two groups. Number of attempts and time for successful guidewire insertion were comparable. Ease of the procedure was scored a median of 10 in both the groups.
    Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the incidence of PVWP between the two techniques in this study, necessitating further evaluation of this novel technique.

    Abstract In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, chronic hyperglycemia and inflammation underlie susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) and result in poor TB control. Here, an integrative pathway-based approach is used to investigate perturbed pathways in T2DM patients that render susceptibility to TB. We obtained 36 genes implicated in type 2 diabetes-associated tuberculosis (T2DMTB) from the literature. Gene expression analysis on T2DM patient data (GSE26168) showed that DEFA1 is differentially expressed at Pₐdⱼ<0.05. The human host TB susceptibility genes TNFRSF10A, MSRA, GPR148, SLC37A3, PXK, PROK2, REV3L, PGM1, HIST3H2A, PLAC4, LETM2, and EMP2 and hsa-miR-146a microRNA were also differentially expressed at Pₐdⱼ<0.05. We included all these genes and added the remaining 28 genes from the T2DMTB set and the remaining differentially expressed genes at Pₐdⱼ<0.05 in STRING and obtained a well-connected network with high confidence score (≥0.7). Further, we extracted the KEGG pathways at FDR<0.05 and retained only the diabetes and TB pathways. The network was simulated with BioNSi using gene expression data. It is evident from BioNSi analysis that the NF-kappa B and Toll-like receptor pathways are commonly perturbed with high ranking in multiple gene expression datasets of type 2 diabetes versus healthy controls. The other pathways, necroptosis pathway and FoxO signalling pathway, appear perturbed with high ranking in different gene expression datasets. These pathways likely underlie susceptibility to TB in T2DM patients.
