    Abstract Piglet diarrhea is among one of the most serious health problems faced by the pig industry, resulting in significant economic losses. Diarrheal disease in piglets has a multifactorial etiology that is affected by physiology, environment, and management strategy. Diarrhea is the most apparent symptom of intestinal dysfunction. As a key class of essential nutrients in the piglet diet, amino acids confer a variety of beneficial effects on piglets in addition to being used as a substrate for protein synthesis, including maintaining appropriate intestinal integrity, permeability and epithelial renewal, and alleviating morphological damage and inflammatory and oxidative stress. Thus, provision of appropriate levels of amino acids could alleviate piglet diarrhea. Most amino acid effects are mediated by metabolites, gut microbes, and related signaling pathways. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of dietary amino acid effects on gut health and diarrhea incidence in piglets, and reveal the mechanisms involved. We also provide ideas for using amino acid blends and emphasize the importance of amino acid balance in the diet to prevent diarrhea in piglets.

    Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease, of which the pathogenesis is a complex interplay between genetics and environment. Although the exact mechanisms of the disease pathogenesis remain unclear, the immune dysregulation primarily involving the Th2 inflammatory pathway and accompanied with an imbalance of multiple immune cells is considered as one of the critical etiologies of AD. Tryptophan metabolism has long been firmly established as a key regulator of immune cells and then affect the occurrence and development of many immune and inflammatory diseases. But the relationship between tryptophan metabolism and the pathogenesis of AD has not been profoundly discussed throughout the literatures. Therefore, this review is conducted to discuss the relationship between tryptophan metabolism and the complex network of skin inflammatory response in AD, which is important to elucidate its complex pathophysiological mechanisms, and then lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies and drugs for the treatment of this frequently relapsing disease.

    Abstract Signet-ring cell (SRC) is a histologic type in which cells show unique features under the microscope. We mainly found signet-ring cells (SRCs) in gastrointestinal and breast tumors. Cutaneous metastasis from internal carcinomas was an uncommon presentation. The cases of signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) metastasis to the skin were rarely reported. Cutaneous metastasis indicated a poor prognosis for a patient. Here, we report a female who had huge grape-like nodules arising from gastrointestinal SRCC in her trunk and thigh.

    Abstract The common causes for melanonychia include melanoma, repetitive trauma, underlying systemic diseases, onychomycosis, pseudomonas infection and drugs. Drug-induced melanonychia usually affects numerous nails and appears as light brown to black pigmentation on the deck or nail bed with longitudinal, transverse or diffuse distribution. In previous cases, a number of chemotherapeutic agents such as azathioprine, bleomycin sulfate, cyclophosphamide, hydroxyurea and methotrexate were usually linked to melanonychia. Citri reticulatae pericarpium (CRP) is a traditional Chinese herb which is widely used in many foods and health care products in China. Up till now, there were no adverse reactions of CRP reported throughout the literature. Herein, we firstly reported a case of melanonychia in a 67-year-old man caused by CRP for external use.

    Abstract Mucins are heavily glycosylated proteins secreted by various cell types, to protect the epithelial surface of the gastrointestinal tract from damage. Currently, increasing studies provided evidence to suggest that mucins play an essential role in regulating tumor progression. However, the role of mucins and the underpinning mechanism of how mucins drive melanoma progression remains elusive. In this study, we first demonstrated that mucin 21 (MUC21) expression was significantly upregulated in metastatic melanoma tissues, and a higher MUC21 expression resulted in poor overall survival in melanoma patients by The Cancer Genome Atlas database analysis. In vitro, MUC21 overexpression markedly promoted proliferative properties and aggressive behavior of melanoma cell A375 and A875, as assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 and transwell assay. In mechanism, we proved that MUC21 suppressed expression of SLITRK5, an integral membrane protein, leading to activation of prosurvival hedgehog pathway and sustained melanoma development. More importantly, we found that combination of hedgehog pathway inhibitor cyclopamine and chemotherapy revealed an improved anticancer effect in MUC21 overexpression xenograft model. Altogether, our study described a novel role of MUC21 in regulating tumor progression, which offers a promising target for melanoma diagnosis and therapy.

    Abstract Hydroxyapatite-coated quartz sands were synthesized by the sol–gel method and employed as a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) medium for the manganese contaminated aqueous solution treatment. The effects of composite particle size, initial concentration of manganese, and hydraulic load on the manganese removal in aqueous solution were investigated by column test. The Thomas and Yoon-Nelson dynamic models were used to reproduce the Mn(II) adsorption behavior observed in these column experiments. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to investigate the Mn(II) removal mechanism. Results showed that the initial concentration of manganese had the greatest influence on Mn(II) removal when the initial concentration of manganese is 3 mg/L, the particle size is 0.15 ~ 0.3 mm, the hydraulic load is 5.5 m³/m²·d, and the adsorption capacity of the composites reached the maximum of 1.10 mg/g. The Thomas model fitted the breakthrough curves better. The maximum adsorption capacity of Mn(II) is 0.7546 mg/g. The adsorption mechanisms are mainly ion exchange and dissolution–precipitation. The results indicate that the hydroxyapatite-coated quartz sands could be an effective PRB media for the manganese-contaminated water treatment.

    Abstract In China, the recommended treatment regimens for HIV-infected individuals were tenofovir in combination with lamivudine or emtricitabine as NRTIs, efavirenz or rilpivirine as NNRTIs, lopinavir/ritonavir as protease inhibitors, and raltegravir or dolutegravir as INSTIs. The development of drug resistance increases the risk of viral rebound, opportunistic infections, and ultimately treatment failure such that the early detection of resistance is ideal. This study was developed to explore primary drug resistance characteristics and genotypic distributions in newly diagnosed antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve HIV-1 patients in Nanjing with the goal of establishing a basis for their individualized treatment in the clinic. Samples of serum were collected from newly diagnosed ART-naïve HIV patients from the Second Hospital of Nanjing between May 2021 and May 2022. The HIV-1 integrase (IN), protease (PR), and reverse transcriptase (RT) gene coding sequences were amplified from these samples, sequenced, and assessed for drug resistance-related mutations. Major integrase resistance-related mutations were detected in 4/360 amplified samples, with 5 other patient samples exhibiting accessory resistance mutations. The overall prevalence of PR and RT inhibitor-related transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRMs) in this patient population was 16.99% (61/359). The most common mutations were non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-related mutations (51/359; 14.21%), followed by those associated with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (7/359; 1.95%) and protease inhibitors (7/359; 1.95%). Dual-resistant strains were also observed in a subset of patients. In summary, this study is the first to have surveyed the prevalence of integrase inhibitor resistance-related mutations and other drug resistance-related mutations among newly diagnosed ART-naïve HIV-positive patients in Nanjing, China. These results highlight the need for further molecular surveillance-based monitoring of the HIV epidemic in Nanjing.

    Abstract Purpose: Taohong Siwu decoction (THSWD) is traditionally used to treat androgenic alopecia (AGA) in clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine. This study used a network pharmacology approach to elucidate the molecular mechanism governing the effect of THSWD on AGA.
    Materials and methods: The major active components and their corresponding targets of THSWD were screened. AGA-related targets were obtained by analyzing the differentially expressed genes between AGA patients and healthy individuals. The protein-protein interaction networks of putative targets of THSWD and AGA-related targets were visualized and merged to identify the candidate targets for THSWD against AGA. Gene ontology (GO) biological processes and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis for core targets were performed. Finally, the key effective components and core targets screened were verified by molecular docking.
    Results: In this study, 69 compounds and 202 compound targets of THSWD, as well as 1158 disease targets, were screened. Forty-five interactive targets were identified for constructing the "ingredient-targets" network. The functional annotations of target genes were found to be related to oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species, and hydrogen peroxide. Pathways involved in the treatment of AGA included apoptosis and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. The luteolin, quercetin, kaempferol, baicalein, and beta-carotene were identified as the vital active compounds, and AKT1, TP53, JUN, CASP3 and MYC were considered as the core targets. Assessment of molecular docking revealed that these active compounds and targets had good-binding interactions.
    Conclusion: The results indicated that the effects of THSWD against AGA may be related to anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation properties of the compounds through the specific biological processes and the related pathways.
