    Abstract Background: Gastric cancer (GC) has a high mortality rate. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in the development of GC. Age and gender are associated with GC incidence and survival. This study aimed to explore the risk score prediction model of prognosis in GC patients by age and gender combined with m6A modification genes.Methods: Data on m6A modification gene expression and clinical information downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were used to construct the risk score prediction model. Cox and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were performed to identify clinical characteristics and m6A modification genes associated with prognosis. A risk score prediction model was established based on multivariate Cox regression analysis. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to validate this model.Results: Most of the m6A modification genes were upregulated in GC tumor tissues compared with that in normal tissues and were correlated with clinical characteristics including grade, stage status, and T status. The risk score prediction model was established based on age, gender, FTO, and RBM15. GC patients were divided into high- or low-risk groups based on the median risk score. Patients with a high risk score had poor prognosis. Multivariate Cox regression indicated that risk score was an independent prognostic factor for GC patients. The data from GSE84437 verified the predictive value of this model.Conclusion: The risk score prediction model based on age and gender combined with m6A modification genes FTO and RBM15 was an independent prognostic factor for GC patients.

    Abstract Background Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is an important causative agent of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) associated with enormous healthcare and socioeconomic burden. Although a range of studies about EV-A71 pathogenesis have been well described, the underlying molecular mechanism in terms of innate immune response is still not fully understood, especially the roles of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and interferon-regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Methodology/principal findings Here, we applied TBK1 inhibitor and IRF3 agonist, for the first time, to evaluate the antiviral activities of TBK1 and IRF3 in vivo. We found that, through regulating EV-A71-induced type I interferon (IFN) response, IRF3 agonist effectively alleviated EV-A71-induced illness, while TBK1 inhibitor aggravated disease progression. In addition, EV-A71 replication was suppressed in EVA-71-infected mice administrated with IRF3 agonist. On the other hand, more severe pathological alterations of neuronal degeneration, muscle fiber breaks, fractured or fused alveolar walls, and diffuse congestion occurred in EVA-71-infected mice treated with TBK1 inhibitor administration. Furthermore, we determined the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and IL-10 in both lungs and brains of mice and found that TBK1 inhibitor promoted EV-A71-induced inflammatory response, while IRF3 agonist alleviated it, which was consistent with clinical manifestations and pathological alterations. Conclusions Collectively, our findings suggest that TBK1 and IRF3 are potential therapeutic targets in EV-A71-induced illness.

    Abstract Enteroviruses (EVs) are common RNA viruses that can cause various types of human diseases and conditions such as hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), myocarditis, meningitis, sepsis, and respiratory disorders. Although EV infections in most patients are generally mild and self-limiting, a small number of young children can develop serious complications such as encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, myocarditis, and cardiorespiratory failure, resulting in fatalities. Established evidence has suggested that certain non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the occurrence and progression of many human diseases. Recently, the involvement of ncRNAs in the course of EV infection has been reported. Herein, the authors focus on recent advances in the understanding of ncRNAs in EV infection from basic viral pathogenesis to clinical prospects, providing a reference basis and new ideas for disease prevention and research directions.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study is to study laboratory indicators for the identification of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) severity. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science for literature that was published before May 2022. The main results are presented as forest plots. Subgroup analyses, sensitivity analyses, and publication bias were also performed. Results: Our study indicated that white blood cells (WBC) (95%CI: 0.205–0.778), blood glucose (95%CI: 0.505–0.778), lymphocytes (95%CI: 0.072–0.239), creatinine (95%CI: 0.024–0.228), interleukin (IL)-2 (95%CI: 0.192–1.642), IL-6 (95%CI: 0.289–0.776), IL-8 (95%CI: 0.499–0.867), IL-10 (95%CI: 0.226–0.930), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (95%CI: 0.193–2.584), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (95%CI: 1.078–2.715), and creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) (95%CI: 0.571–1.459) were associated with an increased risk of HFMD severity, and the results of the sensitivity analysis of these indicators were stable and free of publication bias. Conclusions: Our results suggest that various deleterious immune and metabolic changes can increase the risk of HFMD severity, which can provide a basis for predicting the prognosis and useful evidence for clinicians to manage patients efficiently.

    Abstract Background and Objectives : Procalcitonin (PCT) is positively associated with the severity of COVID-19 (including severe, critical, or fatal outcomes), but some of the confounding factors are not considered. The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate the adjusted relationship between elevated procalcitonin on admission and the severity of COVID-19. Materials and Methods: We searched 1805 articles from PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases up to 2 April 2021. The articles were selected which reported the adjusted relationship applying multivariate analysis between PCT and the severity of COVID-19. The pooled effect estimate was calculated by the random-effects model. Results: The meta-analysis included 10 cohort studies with a total of 7716 patients. Patients with elevated procalcitonin on admission were at a higher risk of severe and critical COVID-19 (pooled effect estimate: 1.77, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.38–2.29; I 2 = 85.6%, p < 0.001). Similar results were also observed in dead patients (pooled effect estimate: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.36–2.30). After adjusting for diabetes, the positive association between PCT and the severity of COVID-19 decreased. Subgroup analysis revealed heterogeneity between studies and sensitivity analysis showed that the results were robust. There was no evidence of publication bias by Egger’s test ( p = 0.106). Conclusions: Higher procalcitonin is positively associated with the severity of COVID-19, which is a potential biomarker to evaluate the severity of COVID-19 and predict the prognosis.

    Abstract Background and Objectives: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis with the aim of determining the relationship between H. pylori infection and psoriasis. Methods : Pubmed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Web of Science were searched for articles published up to July, 2019. Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 12.0 were used for statistical analyses. Results : The initial database search resulted in 204 articles. Through exclusion and screening, 11 studies involving a total of 1741 participants were finally included in this meta-analysis. The odds ratio (OR) of H. pylori infection rate in the psoriasis group was significantly higher than that in the control group (OR = 1.19, 95% CI 1.15−2.52, P = 0.008). Subgroup analysis showed that no significant difference was detected between the Asia group and the Europe group. As for the methods of H. pylori detection, a statistically significant increase of H. pylori infection in the IgG ELISA test group was detected, compared with the urea breath test group. In addition, analysis based on the severity of psoriasis showed a statistically significant increase of H. pylori infection in moderate and severe psoriasis patients (OR = 2.27; 95% CI: 1.42−3.63, I 2 = 27%), but not in the mild psoriasis patients (OR = 1.10; 95% CI: 0.79−1.54, I 2 = 0%). Conclusion : H. pylori infection is associated with psoriasis, and psoriasis patients with H. pylori infection have higher Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores. The findings are of considerable significance for the clinical practices.

    Abstract AIM:To assess the effect of Lactobacillus supplementation on Helicobacter pylori eradication rates and side effects of the triple therapy. METHODS:PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched for articles published up to July, 2019. Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 12.0 were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS:The initial database search resulted in 852 articles. Through exclusion and screening, 11 randomized controlled trials involving a total of 724 patients were finally included in this meta-analysis. The H. pylori elimination rate in the Lactobacillus supplement group was significantly higher than that in the control group (RR 1.16, 95% CI 1.08-1.25, P<0.0001). Subgroup analysis showed that the eradication rates were significantly enhanced in both adults and children group, and no significant difference was detected between Asia and Europe group. In addition, sub-analysis based on duration of Lactobacillus supplementation showed the pooled RRs in the long-term and short-term groups were 1.17 (95%CI 1.06-1.30) and 1.16 (95% CI 1.04-1.30), respectively. Regarding the Lactobacillus strains, the pooled RR was 1.33 (95% CI 1.10-1.62) in the L. casei group, 1.18 (95% CI 1.03-1.34) in the L. reuteri group while 1.02 (95% CI 0.87-1.21) in the Lactobacillus GG group. As for the total side effects, Lactobacillus supplementation significantly reduced the incidence of taste disturbance (RR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.17-0.74, P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS:Lactobacillus supplementation during the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection can effectively improve the eradication rates, and reduce the incidence of therapy-related taste disturbance.

    Abstract Abstract On 12 March 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As of 4 August 2020, more than 18 million confirmed infections had been reported globally. Most patients have mild symptoms, but some patients develop respiratory failure which is the leading cause of death among COVID-19 patients. Endothelial cells with high levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 expression are major participants and regulators of inflammatory reactions and coagulation. Accumulating evidence suggests that endothelial activation and dysfunction participate in COVID-19 pathogenesis by altering the integrity of vessel barrier, promoting pro-coagulative state, inducing endothelial inflammation, and even mediating leukocyte infiltration. This review describes the proposed cellular and molecular mechanisms of endothelial activation and dysfunction during COVID-19 emphasizing the principal mediators and therapeutic implications.

    Abstract Background and objectives : The prognostic role of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) 17 has been widely assessed in gastric cancer. However, the results are inconsistent. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic significance of ADAM17 and its association with clinicopathological parameters. Methods: The databases of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for relevant articles published up to April 2020. The reported hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to evaluate the strength of the association. Stata 12.1 was used to perform statistical analyses. Results: Seven studies, including 1757 patients, were screened for the meta-analysis. Compared with the high ADAM17 expression group, the pooled HR was higher in the low ADAM17 expression group (HR = 2.04, 95% CI 1.66–2.50; I 2 = 18.1%; p = 0.299). High ADAM17 expression was also related to the tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages (OR = 4.09, 95% CI 1.85–9.04; I 2 = 84.1%; p = 0.000), lymph node metastasis (OR = 3.08, 95% CI 1.13–8.36; I 2 = 79.7%; p = 0.007), and ages (OR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.24–2.21; I 2 = 0%; p = 0.692) of the gastric patients. Conclusions : This meta-analysis revealed that ADAM17 is a significant biomarker for poor prognosis in gastric cancer.
