    Abstract Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) is a kind of congenital chromosomal abnormality disease. Trisomy 13 has high occurrence in fetuses or infants from the old aged pregnant women. Screening out the fetus with trisomy 13 early and avoiding the infant with trisomy 13 to be born is the main strategy in the care of delivery women with the fetus with trisomy 13. The current screening method is not perfect and has room to strengthen. In this study, we aimed to establish a method to strengthen the current screening methods, which would be cheap, fast and convenient. Technically, we obtained the commercially available genomic DNA extracted from the amniotic fluid puncture of the pregnant woman with the trisomy 13 fetus, 2 genomic DNA extracted from 2 healthy male (one adult and one teenager) and 1 genomic DNA extracted from 1 healthy adult female as the qPCR template DNAs and the commercially available Sybr green qPCR mater mix as the qPCR reaction liquid; we also designed and synthesized 5 pairs of qPCR primers, respectively, corresponding to IL-10 gene on 1# chromosome, STAT1 gene on 2# chromosome, CXCR3 gene on X chromosome, TSPY1 gene on Y chromosome and LINC00458 gene on 13# chromosome. We then performed Sybr green qPCR measurement. Further, we used the qPCR data to perform the mathematical calculation and finally formed a new algorithm. Using this new algorithm, we easily distinguished the trisomy 13 sample out of the normal samples. The method established this study could strengthen and complement the current methods. In conclusion, our study initiated a pilot study to screen the trisomy 13 and prospected some new directions for efforts.

    Abstract Ogataea (Hansenula) polymorpha is a nonconventional yeast with some unique characteristics, including fast growth, thermostability, and broad substrate spectrum. Other than common applications for protein production, O. polymorpha is attracting interest for chemical and protein production from methanol; a promising feedstock for the next-generation biomanufacturing due to its abundant sources and excellent characteristics. Benefiting from the development of synthetic biology, it has been engineered to produce value-added chemicals by extensively rewiring cellular metabolism. This Review discusses recently developed synthetic biology tools of O. polymorpha. The advances of chemicals production and systems biology were reviewed comprehensively. Finally, we look ahead to the developments of biomanufacturing in O. polymorpha to make an overall understanding of this chassis for academia and industry.

    Abstract Despite extensive research reveal rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to atherosclerosis (AS), common pathogenesis between these two diseases still needs to be explored. In current study, we explored the common pathogenesis between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atherosclerosis (AS) by identifying 297 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) associated with both diseases. Through KEGG and GO functional analysis, we highlighted the correlation of these DEGs with crucial biological processes such as the vesicle transport, immune system process, signaling receptor binding, chemokine signaling and many others. Employing Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis, we elucidated the associations between DEGs, revealing three gene modules enriched in immune system process, vesicle, signaling receptor binding, Pertussis, and among others. Additionally, through CytoHubba analysis, we pinpointed 11 hub genes integral to intergrin-mediated signaling pathway, plasma membrane, phosphotyrosine binding, chemokine signaling pathway and so on. Further investigation via the TRRUST database identified two key Transcription Factors (TFs), SPI1 and RELA, closely linked with these hub genes, shedding light on their regulatory roles. Finally, leveraging the collective insights from hub genes and TFs, we proposed 10 potential drug candidates targeting the molecular mechanisms underlying RA and AS pathogenesis. Further investigation on xCell revealed that 14 types of cells were all different in both AS and RA. This study underscores the shared pathogenic mechanisms, pivotal genes, and potential therapeutic interventions bridging RA and AS, offering valuable insights for future research and clinical management strategies.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the predictive effect of preoperative and postoperative interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels on the duration of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute DeBakey Type I aortic dissection (I-AAD) after emergency surgery.
    Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 381 patients with I-AAD who underwent surgery in our hospital, between June 2018 and June 2022. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) occurred after surgery. The baseline data, biochemical indicators at admission, surgical data, biochemical indicators at postoperative 6 h, and the postoperative data of the two groups were recorded and analyzed.
    Results: The PMV group comprised 199 patients, and the non-PMV group 182. The postoperative in-hospital mortality was different between the two groups (11.1% vs. 3.3%, p = 0.004). The length of intensive care unit and hospitalization time in the PMV group were significantly longer than those in the non-PMV group. Multiple regression analysis showed postoperative IL-6 (post-IL-6) ≥67.1 pg/mL and summation of preoperative and postoperative IL-6 (total IL-6) ≥83.4 pg/mL were associated risk factors for PMV [odds ratio (OR) 3.259, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.922-5.524, p < 0.001], [(OR) 4.515, 95% CI 2.241-9.098, p < 0.001]. Furthermore, determined by the receiver operating characteristics(ROC) curve, the cut-off point was total IL-6 ≥83.4 pg/mL (area under curve(AUC) = 0.825). The sensitivity and specificity of predicting postoperative PMV of patients with I-AAD were 91.5% and 78.2%, respectively (95% CI 0.782-0.868, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: For predicting postoperative PMV in patients with I-AAD, post IL-6 ≥67.1 pg/mL is potentially valuable and summation of preoperative and postoperative IL-6 (total IL-6) ≥83.4 pg/mL has a more pronounced predictive value.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to determine if complete transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)-guided percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure without balloon sizing could be safe and efficacious in adult patients.
    Methods: A total of 551 patients with ASDs were enrolled in this study, of which 438 patients underwent percutaneous ASD closure. Patients who received TTE-guided percutaneous ASD closure were classified into group T, and those who underwent a procedure that was guided by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) were classified into group E. The clinical characteristics and the outcomes of the patients were analyzed.
    Results: The characteristics were comparable at baseline, except for the body mass index (BMI) (21.6 ± 5.3 vs. 23.8 ± 7.1,
    Conclusion: TTE may be as safe and efficacious as TEE for the assessment and guidance of percutaneous ASD closure without balloon sizing in adult patients with lower BMIs who are commonly found in East Asia.

    Abstract We show that specific inactivation of the protein kinase Cdk1/cyclin B (Cdc28/Clb2) triggers exit from mitosis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cells carrying the allele cdc28-as1, which makes Cdk1 (Cdc28) uniquely sensitive to the ATP analog 1NM-PP1, were arrested with spindle poisons and then treated with 1NM-PP1 to inhibit Cdk1. This caused the cells to leave mitosis and enter G1-phase as shown by initiation of rebudding (without cytokinesis), induction of mating projections ("shmoos") by α-factor, stabilization of Sic1, and degradation of Clb2. It is known that Cdk1 must be inactivated for cells to exit mitosis, but our results show that inactivation of Cdk1 is not only necessary but also sufficient to initiate the transition from mitosis to G1-phase. This result suggests a system in which to test requirements for particular gene products downstream from Cdk1 inactivation, for example, by combining cdc28-as1 with conditional mutations in the genes of interest. Using this approach, we demonstrate that protein phosphatase 1 (PPase1; Glc7 in S. cerevisiae) is required for mitotic exit and reestablishment of interphase following Cdk1 inactivation. This system could be used to test the need for other protein phosphatases downstream from Cdk1 inactivation, such as PPase 2A and Cdc14, and it could be combined with phosphoproteomics to gain information about the substrates that the various phosphatases act upon during mitotic exit.
