    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious global health concern, and researchers have been investigating different strategies to prevent, treat, or support conventional therapies for CRC. This review article comprehensively covers CRC therapy involving wild-type bacteria, including probiotics and oncolytic bacteria as well as genetically modified bacteria. Given the close relationship between CRC and the gut microbiota, it is crucial to compile and present a comprehensive overview of bacterial therapies used in the context of colorectal cancer. It is evident that the use of native and engineered probiotics for colorectal cancer therapy necessitates research focused on enhancing the therapeutic properties of probiotic strains.. Genetically engineered probiotics might be designed to produce particular molecules or to target cancer cells more effectively and cure CRC patients.

    Abstract Background: Self-monitoring is crucial for behavioral weight loss. However, few studies have examined the role of self-monitoring using mixed methods, which may hinder our understanding of its impact.
    Methods: This study examined self-monitoring data from 61 Chinese adults who participated in a 5-week online group intervention for weight loss. Participants reported their baseline Body Mass Index (BMI), weight loss motivation, and engaged in both daily quantitative self-monitoring (e.g., caloric intake, mood, sedentary behavior, etc.) and qualitative self-monitoring (e.g., daily log that summarizes the progress of weight loss). The timeliness of participants' daily self-monitoring data filling was assessed using a scoring rule. One-way repeated measurement ANOVA was employed to analyze the dynamics of each self-monitoring indicator. Correlation and regression analyses were used to reveal the relationship between baseline data, self-monitoring indicators, and weight change. Content analysis was utilized to analyze participants' qualitative self-monitoring data. Participants were categorized into three groups based on their weight loss outcomes, and a chi-square test was used to compare the frequency distribution between these groups.
    Results: After the intervention, participants achieved an average weight loss of 2.52 kg (SD = 1.36) and 3.99% (SD = 1.96%) of their initial weight. Daily caloric intake, weight loss satisfaction, frequency of daily log, and the speed of weight loss showed a downward trend, but daily sedentary time gradually increased. Moreover, regression analysis showed that baseline BMI, weight loss motivation, and timeliness of daily filling predicted final weight loss. Qualitative self-monitoring data analysis revealed four categories and nineteen subcategories. A significant difference in the frequency of qualitative data was observed, with the excellent group reporting a greater number of daily logs than expected in all categories and most subcategories, and the moderate and poor groups reporting less than expected in all categories and most subcategories.
    Conclusion: The self-monitoring data in short-term online group intervention exhibited fluctuations. Participants with higher baseline BMI, higher levels of weight loss motivation, and timely self-monitoring achieved more weight loss. Participants who achieved greater weight loss reported a higher quantity of qualitative self-monitoring data. Practitioners should focus on enhancing dieters' weight loss motivation and promote adherence to self-monitoring practices.

    Abstract Continuously progressive hepatic fibrosis might cause chronic liver diseases, resulting in hepatic failure. The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) residing in the liver might induce and influence hepatic fibrosis. In the present study, microRNA 3074 (miR-3074) was found increased within transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-activated HSCs and enriched within the TGF-β signaling. In activated HSCs by TGF-β, miR-3074 overexpression aggravated TGF-β-induced fibrotic changes, whereas miR-3074 inhibition exerted opposite effects. miR-3074 directly targeted bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) and inhibited BMP7 expression. Under TGF-β induction, overexpressed BMP7 notably attenuated the promotive roles of miR-3074 overexpression in TGF-β-activated HSCs. Within carbon tetrachloride (CCl

    Abstract It is significant to research the mechanical properties and micro-fracture evolution characteristics of oil shales with different bedding directions under the condition of in-situ triaxial stress loading for understanding the internal micro-characteristics of oil shales. Triaxial stress loading tests of cylindrical oil shales were carried out in two loading directions perpendicular to and parallel to the bedding, which is the S1 and S2 samples. Our results demonstrate that the oil shales are typical anisotropic and brittle fracture characteristics. The triaxial compressive strength of S1 is higher than that of S2, but the elastic modulus is almost the same. Based on the reconstructed 3D-CT image, we analyzed the dynamic evolution law of the fracture inside the sample in the horizontal and vertical directions, and obtained the distribution of the fracture in the loading process, finally revealing the internal micro-characteristics of oil shales under the different loading conditions.

    Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has outbroken into a global pandemic. The death rate for hospital patients varied between 11% and 15%. Although COVID-19 is extremely contagious and has a high fatality rate, the amount of knowledge available in the published literature and public sources is rapidly growing. The efficacy of convalescent plasma (CP) therapy for COVID-19 is controversial.
    Objective: This meta-analysis was designed to assess the efficacy of CP therapy for COVID-19 through a literature survey.
    Methods: Until August 30, 2021, a literature search was undertaken in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlling Trials (Central), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. The Risk Ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a fixed or random effect model in dichotomous data. Mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a fixed or random effect model in continuous data. Studies with missing or unsuitable data were presented descriptively in the outcomes.
    Results: In total, thirteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected for the present meta-analysis, which included a total of 13232 participants. Our results revealed that the CP group has lower mortality compared to the control group, and there was a statistically significant difference (RR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.55, 0.89,
    Conclusions: The safety and potential efficacy of convalescent plasma therapy offer a promising treatment strategy for COVID-19. CP therapy can reduce mortality and improve breath and inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and Ferritin in COVID-19 with no significant increase in adverse reactions. However, it does not affect improving virology indicators. In summary, more high-quality clinical trials are needed to verify the conclusion of the present study.

    Abstract Context: The association between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and pre-eclampsia (PE) shows inconsistent results and the underlying mediator remains unknown.
    Objective: We aimed to explore the causal effect of VAT on PE risks and the mediation role of age at menarche (AAM) in explaining this relationship.
    Methods: Summary data for PE were obtained from the FinnGen genome-wide association study (3556 cases and 114 735 controls). For exposure data, 70 genetic variants associated with the predicted VAT in 161 149 European women from UK Biobank were used as instrumental variables. Inverse variance weighted and multiple sensitivity analyses were applied. We also conducted multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to test the association between VAT-associated single-nucleotide variations and PE. Next, mediation analyses were performed to study whether the association between VAT and PE was mediated via AAM.
    Results: In univariable MR analysis, higher volume of VAT was associated with the advancement of AAM and increased PE risk (beta = -0.33; 95% CI, -0.49 to -0.16 for AAM; odds ratio 1.65, 95% CI, 1.23 to 2.20 for PE). After adjusting for waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, and hip circumference, the multivariable MR results presented the consistent positive causality of VAT on PE. Two-step MR analysis proved an estimated 14.3% of the positive effect of VAT on PE was mediated by AAM.
    Conclusion: Our findings provided evidence of the causal relationship between VAT and PE and proved VAT could accelerate AAM and then contribute to the risk of incident PE.

    Abstract To study the mechanism of circular ribonucleic acid (RNA) circHIPK3 involved in the resistance of lung cancer cells to gefitinib, 110 patients with lung cancer were recruited as the research objects, and the tumor tissue and para-cancerous tissue of each patient's surgical specimens were collected and paraffinized to detect the expression of circHIPK3 in different tissues. Gefitinib drug-resistant cell line of lung cancer was constructed with gefitinib to detect cell apoptosis under different conditions. As a result, the relative expression of circHIPK3 in patients with tumor diameter no less than 3 cm was dramatically inferior to that in patients with tumor diameter less than 3 cm (

    Abstract Background: Smoking was strongly associated with breast cancer in previous studies. Whether smoking promotes breast cancer through DNA methylation remains unknown.
    Methods: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted to assess the causal effect of smoking-related DNA methylation on breast cancer risk. We used 436 smoking-related CpG sites extracted from 846 middle-aged women in the ARIES project as exposure data. We collected summary data of breast cancer from one of the largest meta-analyses, including 69,501 cases for ER+ breast cancer and 21,468 cases for ER- breast cancer. A total of 485 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected as instrumental variables (IVs) for smoking-related DNA methylation. We further performed an MR Steiger test to estimate the likely direction of causal estimate between DNA methylation and breast cancer. We also conducted colocalization analysis to evaluate whether smoking-related CpG sites shared a common genetic causal SNP with breast cancer in a given region.
    Results: We established four significant associations after multiple testing correction: the CpG sites of cg2583948 [OR = 0.94, 95% CI (0.91-0.97)], cg0760265 [OR = 1.07, 95% CI (1.03-1.11)], cg0420946 [OR = 0.95, 95% CI (0.93-0.98)], and cg2037583 [OR =1.09, 95% CI (1.04-1.15)] were associated with the risk of ER+ breast cancer. All the four smoking-related CpG sites had a larger variance than that in ER+ breast cancer (all
    Conclusions: These findings highlight potential targets for the prevention of ER+ breast cancer. Tissue-specific epigenetic data are required to confirm these results.

    Abstract Purpose: Insulin resistance (IR) is closely associated with lipid accumulation. Here, we investigated the temporal relationship between the two conditions after bariatric surgery.
    Materials and methods: In total, 409 participants were enrolled from three bariatric centers in China from 2009 to 2018. We evaluated whether baseline IR (proxied by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) and lipid accumulation (proxied by visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP)) were associated with follow-up IR and lipid accumulation (3 months postoperatively) using linear regression models. We then conducted a cross-lagged panel analysis model to simultaneously examine the bidirectional relationship between IR and lipid accumulation.
    Results: Multivariable linear regression analyses showed that baseline HOMA-IR was associated with follow-up VAI (β = 0.430, 95% CI: 0.082-0.778, p = 0.016) and LAP (β = 0.070, 95% CI: 0.010-0.130, p = 0.022). There was no relationship between baseline lipid accumulation and follow-up IR. Further cross-lagged panel analyses indicated that the path coefficient from baseline HOMA-IR to follow-up VAI (β
    Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a unidirectional relationship from HOMA-IR to VAI and LAP, suggesting that the change in IR may precede lipid accumulation after surgery.
