    Abstract Background: Asthma is a frequently occurring respiratory disease with an increasing incidence around the world. Airway inflammation and remodeling are important contributors to the occurrence of asthma. We conducted this study aiming at exploring the effect of Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4)-mediated Kruppel-like factor 5 (KLF5)/Slug/CXC chemokine ligand-12 (CXCL12) axis on the development of asthma in regulation of airway inflammation and remodeling.
    Methods: An asthmatic rat model was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) irrigation, and determined HDAC4, KLF5, Slug, and CXCL12 expression in the lung tissues by RT-qPCR and Western blot assay. OVA was also used to induce a cell model of asthma in human BEAS-2B and HBE135-E6E7bronchial epithelial cells. The airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and expression of inflammatory cytokines in model mice were examined using methacholine challenge test and ELISA. The biological behaviors were measured in asthma model bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs) following loss- and gain- function approaches. The interactions between HDAC4, KLF5, Slug, and CXCL12 were also detected by IP assay, dual luciferase gene reporter assay, and ChIP.
    Results: HDAC4 was upregulated in lung tissues of OVA-induced asthmatic mice, and inhibition of HDAC4 alleviated the airway inflammation and remodeling. HDAC4 increased KLF5 transcriptional activity through deacetylation; deacetylated KLF5 bound to the promoter of Slug and transcriptionally upregulated Slug expression, which in turn increased the expression of CXCL12 to promote the inflammation in bronchial epithelial cells and thus induce the proliferation and migration of BSMCs.
    Conclusion: Collectively, HDAC4 deacetylates KLF5 to upregulate Slug and CXCL12, thereby causing airway remodeling and facilitating progression of asthma.

    Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics, as two major types of emerging pollutants, inevitably coexist in the soil environment due to agricultural film residue, sewage irrigation and sludge application. However, the impact of MPs on antibiotic availability in soils with varying characteristics has not been extensively studied. Therefore, in this study, an interference experiment was conducted using three types of MPs (polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polypropylene (PP)) in red soil, paddy soil and cinnamon soil. The available antibiotics in soils were evaluated using diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT). Results showed that MPs had a significant impact on the amount of antibiotics adsorbed on soil solid (C

    Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a prevalent and serious complication among patients with spinal tuberculosis (STB) that can lead to motor and sensory impairment and potentially paraplegia. This research aims to identify factors associated with SCI in STB patients and to develop a clinically significant predictive model. Clinical data from STB patients at a single hospital were collected and divided into training and validation sets. Univariate analysis was employed to screen clinical indicators in the training set. Multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms were utilized to establish predictive models. Model performance was evaluated and compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve analysis, decision curve analysis (DCA), and precision-recall (PR) curves. The optimal model was determined, and a prospective cohort from two other hospitals served as a testing set to assess its accuracy. Model interpretation and variable importance ranking were conducted using the DALEX R package. The model was deployed on the web by using the Shiny app. Ten clinical characteristics were utilized for the model. The random forest (RF) model emerged as the optimal choice based on the AUC, PRs, calibration curve analysis, and DCA, achieving a test set AUC of 0.816. Additionally, MONO was identified as the primary predictor of SCI in STB patients through variable importance ranking. The RF predictive model provides an efficient and swift approach for predicting SCI in STB patients.

    Abstract The ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the cervical spine is commonly observed in degenerative changes of the cervical spine. Early detection of cervical OPLL and prevention of postoperative complications are of utmost importance. We gathered data from 775 patients who underwent cervical spine surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, collecting a total of 84 variables. Among these patients, 144 had cervical OPLL, while 631 did not. They were randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. Multiple machine learning (ML) methods were employed to screen the variables and ultimately develop a diagnostic model. Subsequently, we compared the postoperative outcomes of patients with positive and negative cervical OPLL. Initially, we compared the advantages and disadvantages of various ML methods. Seven variables, namely Age, Gender, OPLL, AST, UA, BMI, and CHD, exhibited significant differences and were used to construct a diagnostic nomogram model. The area under the curve (AUC) values of this model in the training and validation groups were 0.76 and 0.728, respectively. Our findings revealed that 69.2% of patients who underwent cervical OPLL surgery eventually required elective anterior surgery, in contrast to 86.8% of patients who did not have cervical OPLL. Patients with cervical OPLL had significantly longer operation times and higher postoperative drainage volumes compared to those without cervical OPLL. Interestingly, preoperative cervical OPLL patients demonstrated significant increases in mean UA, age, and BMI. Furthermore, 27.1% of patients with cervical anterior longitudinal ligament ossification (OALL) also exhibited cervical OPLL, whereas this occurrence was only observed in 6.9% of patients without cervical OALL. We developed a diagnostic model for cervical OPLL using the ML method. Our findings indicate that patients with cervical OPLL are more likely to undergo posterior cervical surgery, and they exhibit elevated UA levels, higher BMI, and increased age. The prevalence of cervical anterior longitudinal ligament ossification was also significantly higher among patients with cervical OPLL.

    Abstract Objectives: Previous studies have reported an association between inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory arthritis, including Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This study aims to explore the causal relationship between inflammatory cytokines and AS, RA, and PsA using Mendelian randomization (MR).
    Methods: We conducted a bidirectional two-sample MR analysis using genetic summary data from a publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) that included 41 genetic variations of inflammatory cytokines, as well as genetic variant data for AS, RA, and PsA from the FinnGen consortium. The main analysis method used was Inverse variance weighted (IVW) to investigate the causal relationship between exposure and outcome. Additionally, other methods such as MR Egger, weighted median (WM), simple mode, and weighted mode were employed to strengthen the final results. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to ensure the reliability of the findings.
    Results: The results showed that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF) was associated with an increased risk of AS (OR = 1.163, 95 % CI = 1.016-1.33, p = 0.028). Conversely, high levels of TRAIL and beta nerve growth factor (β-NGF) were associated with a decreased risk of AS (OR = 0.892, 95 % CI = 0.81-0.982, p = 0.002; OR = 0.829, 95 % CI = 0.696-0.988, p = 0.036). Four inflammatory cytokines were found to be associated with an increased risk of PsA: vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (OR = 1.161, 95 % CI = 1.057-1.275, p = 0.002); Interleukin 12p70 (IL12p70) (OR = 1.189, 95 % CI = 1.049-1.346, p = 0.007); IL10 (OR = 1.216, 95 % CI = 1.024-1.444, p = 0.026); IL13 (OR = 1.159, 95 % CI = 1.05-1.28, p = 0.004). Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1rα) was associated with an increased risk of seropositive RA (OR = 1.181, 95 % CI = 1.044-1.336, p = 0.008). Similarly, genetic susceptibility to inflammatory arthritis was found to be causally associated with multiple inflammatory cytokines. Lastly, the sensitivity analysis supported the robustness of these findings.
    Conclusions: This study provides additional insights into the relationship between inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory arthritis, and may offer new clues for the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of inflammatory arthritis.
