    Abstract Background: Carotid stiffening is found to be present in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) together with endothelial dysfunction and it remains unclear about the role of carotid elasticity in the development of diabetic vascular damage. The aim of the study was to investigate changes and significance of carotid artery elasticity in diabetic patients with or without microvascular complications using velocity vector imaging (VVI) analysis.
    Methods: Fifty participants were enrolled and divided into health Control group, the uncomplicated DM (uDM) group and the complicated DM (cDM) group. All of them underwent carotid ultrasound examinations. VVI was used to evaluate the common carotid artery (CCA) elasticity and intima-media thickness (IMT) was also measured. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was performed to detect the vascular endothelial function. Then differences and correlations of variables between three groups were compared and analyzed.
    Results: CCA elasticity measured by VVI decreased significantly between three groups (p < 0.05), while FMD decreased significantly only in cDM group (p < 0.01) and only IMT in cDM group was significantly thicker than that of Control group (p < 0.05). Representative VVI variables were independently, negatively related to the known duration and microalbuminuria (p < 0.05). All VVI variables were significantly correlated with FMD (0.5 ≤ |r | <0.8, p < 0.001), and just a small part of VVI variables were significantly correlated with IMT (0.3 ≤ |r | <0.5, p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: Compared with FMD, CCA elasticity measured by VVI showed more obvious changes in diabetic patients with different levels of vascular damage and may be considered as an alternative indicator in evaluating arterial status of T2DM.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the clinical application value of diagonal earlobe crease (DELC) in patients with chest pain for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to construct a risk model by multivariate logistic regression.
    Patients and methods: Our trial enrolled prospectively and consecutively 706 chest pain patients with suspected CHD between January 2021 to June 2023 from Chengde Central Hospital. According to coronary angiography results, they were categorized into the CHD (n=457) and non-CHD groups (n=249).
    Results: The trial demonstrated a significant positive relationship between DELC and CHD. Independent risk factors were sex, age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, LP (a), Cys C, and DELC, whilst HDL-C was a protective factor, for CHD. Patients with-DELC were older than those in the without-DELC arm (
    Conclusion: DELC is an independent risk factor for CHD after adjusting for sex, age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking index, LP (a), Cys C, and HDL-C. Our model can be used clinically for assessing the risk of CHD.

    Abstract The lipocalin (LCN) family members, a group of small extracellular proteins with 160-180 amino acids in length, can be detected in all kingdoms of life from bacteria to human beings. They are characterized by low similarity of amino acid sequence but highly conserved tertiary structures with an eight-stranded antiparallel β-barrel which forms a cup-shaped ligand binding pocket. In addition to bind small hydrophobic ligands (i.e., fatty acids, odorants, retinoids, and steroids) and transport them to specific cells, lipocalins (LCNs) can interact with specific cell membrane receptors to activate their downstream signaling pathways, and with soluble macromolecules to form the complex. Consequently, LCNs exhibit great functional diversity. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that LCN family proteins exert multiple layers of function in the regulation of many physiological processes and human diseases (i.e., cancers, immune disorders, metabolic disease, neurological/psychiatric disorders, and cardiovascular disease). In this review, we firstly introduce the structural and sequence properties of LCNs. Next, six LCNs including apolipoprotein D (ApoD), ApoM, lipocalin 2 (LCN2), LCN10, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), and Lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS) which have been characterized so far are highlighted for their diagnostic/prognostic values and their potential effects on coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction injury. The roles of these 6 LCNs in cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, diabetes-induced cardiac disorder, and septic cardiomyopathy are also summarized. Finally, their therapeutic potential for cardiovascular disease is discussed in each section.

    Abstract Viral myocarditis (VMC), commonly caused by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection, lacks specific treatments and leads to serious heart conditions. Current treatments, such as IFNα and ribavirin, show limited effectiveness. Herein, rather than inhibiting virus replication, this study introduces a novel cardiomyocyte sponge, intracellular gelated cardiomyocytes (GCs), to trap and neutralize CVB3 via a receptor-ligand interaction, such as CAR and CD55. By maintaining cellular morphology, GCs serve as sponges for CVB3, inhibiting infection.

    Abstract A precise chemosensory system can help insects complete various important behavioral responses by accurately identifying different external odorants. Therefore, deeply understanding the mechanism of insect recognition of important odorants will help us develop efficient and environmentally-friendly behavioral inhibitors. Spodoptera frugiperda is a polyphagous pest that feeds on >350 different host plants worldwide and also harms maize production in China. However, the molecular mechanism of the first step for males to use odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) to recognize sex pheromones remains unclear. Here, we obtained 50 OBPs from the S. frugiperda genome, and the expression level of SfruGOBP1 in females was significantly higher than that in males, whereas SfruGOBP2 displayed male-biased expression. Fluorescence competitive binding assays showed that only SfruGOBP2 showed binding affinities for the four sex pheromones of female S. frugiperda. Subsequently, we identified some key amino acid residues that can participate in the interaction between SfruGOBP2 and sex pheromones using molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis methods. These findings will help us explore the interaction mechanism between GOBPs and sex pheromones in moths, and provide important target genes for developing new mating inhibitors of S. frugiperda in the future.

    Abstract Alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) necroptosis is critical to disrupt the alveolar barrier and provoke acute lung injury (ALI). Here, we define calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), the most abundant endogenous neuropeptide in the lung, as a novel modulator of AEC necroptosis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. Upon LPS-induced ALI, overexpression of Cgrp significantly mitigates the inflammatory response, alleviates lung tissue damage, and decreases AEC necroptosis. Similarly, CGRP alleviated AEC necroptosis under the LPS challenge in vitro. Previously, we identified that long optic atrophy 1 (L-OPA1) deficiency mediates mitochondrial fragmentation, leading to AEC necroptosis. In this study, we discovered that CGRP positively regulated mitochondrial fusion through stabilizing L-OPA1. Mechanistically, we elucidate that CGRP activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Furthermore, the blockade of AMPK compromised the protective effect of CGRP against AEC necroptosis following the LPS challenge. Our study suggests that CRGP-mediated activation of the AMPK/L-OPA1 axis may have potent therapeutic benefits for patients with ALI or other diseases with necroptosis.

    Abstract Efficient clearance and degradation of apoptotic cardiomyocytes by macrophages (collectively termed efferocytosis) is critical for inflammation resolution and restoration of cardiac function after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Here, we define secreted and transmembrane protein 1a (Sectm1a), a cardiac macrophage-enriched gene, as a modulator of macrophage efferocytosis in I/R-injured hearts. Upon myocardial I/R, Sectm1a-KO mice exhibited impaired macrophage efferocytosis, leading to massive accumulation of apoptotic cardiomyocytes, cardiac inflammation, fibrosis, and consequently, exaggerated cardiac dysfunction. By contrast, therapeutic administration of recombinant SECTM1A protein significantly enhanced macrophage efferocytosis and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, SECTM1A could elicit autocrine effects on the activation of glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor (GITR) at the surface of macrophages, leading to the upregulation of liver X receptor α (LXRα) and its downstream efferocytosis-related genes and lysosomal enzyme genes. Our study suggests that Sectm1a-mediated activation of the Gitr/LXRα axis could be a promising approach to enhance macrophage efferocytosis for the treatment of myocardial I/R injury.
