    Abstract Protein-protein interaction (PPI) play a pivotal role in cellular signal transduction. The bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay offers a rapid and intuitive means to ascertain the localization and interactions of target proteins within living cells. BiFC is based on fluorescence complementation by reconstitution of a functional fluorescent protein by co-expression of N- and C-terminal fragments of this protein. When fusion proteins interact, the N- and C-terminal fragments come into close proximity, leading to the reconstitution of the fluorescent protein. In the conventional approach, the N-terminal and C-terminal fragments of the fluorescent protein are typically expressed using two separate vectors, which largely relies on the efficiency of the transformation of the two vectors in the same cells. Furthermore, issues of vector incompatibility can often result in loss of one plasmid. To address these challenges, we have developed novel dual-transgenic BiFC vectors, designed as

    Abstract Six lactic acid bacteria strains were used to study the effects on physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activities and sensory properties of fermented orange juices. All strains exhibited good growth in orange juice. Of these fermentations, some bioactive compositions (e.g., vitamin C, shikimic acid) and aroma-active compounds (e.g., linalool, 3-carene, ethyl 3-hydroxyhexanoate, etc.) significantly increased in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus samples. DPPH free radical scavenging rates in L. plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei samples increased to 80.25% and 77.83%, respectively. Forty-three volatile profiles were identified, including 28 aroma-active compounds. 7 key factors significantly influencing sensory flavors of the juices were revealed, including D-limonene, linalool, ethyl butyrate, ethanol, β-caryophyllene, organic acids and SSC/TA ratio. The orange juice fermented by L. paracasei, with more optimization aroma-active compounds such as D-limonene, β-caryophyllene, terpinolene and β-myrcene, exhibited more desirable aroma flavors such as orange-like, green, woody and lilac incense, and gained the highest sensory score. Generally, L. paracasei fermentation presented better aroma flavors and overall acceptability, meanwhile enhancing antioxidant activities.

    Abstract Drug-resistant tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most devastating and critical form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old male with pre-extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis meningitis (pre-XDR-TBM). He underwent emergency surgery for the long-tunneled external ventricular drainage (LTEVD). Molecular test and phenotypic drug sensitivity test (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed that the isolate was resistant to both rifampin and fluoroquinolones. An anti-tuberculous regimen of isoniazid, pyrazinamide, cycloserine, moxifloxacin, clofazimine, and linezolid was tailored accordingly. We monitored the drug concentration in his plasma and CSF before (at 0-hour) and after anti-TB drugs administration (at 1-hour, 2-hour, 6-hour, and 12-hour) on 10

    Abstract This study explored a more precise association between androgens and glycolipid metabolism in healthy women of different ages. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio were used as body fat indicators. High-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and total cholesterol were used as lipid markers. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin, and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance were used to assess insulin resistance and glucose metabolism. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to measure androgen indicators, including testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), free testosterone (FT), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), androstenedione (A4), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS). DHEAS levels varied across age groups. Correlation analyses with Spearman's coefficient showed that the free androgen index correlated positively with WC (p = 0.040), FT correlated positively with BMI (p = 0.033) and WC (p = 0.049), SHBG correlated positively with HDL (p = 0.013), and A4 correlated positively with FBG (p = 0.017). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that among healthful women aged 36-40 years, A4 increased with FBG, and SHBG increased with HDL. Even within healthy, nonobese women, lipid and glucose metabolism were robustly correlated with androgens. Yearly metabolic assessments are necessary, particularly for FBG and HDL, since these markers can predict the likelihood of hyperandrogenemia, enabling timely interventions.

    Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), a leading sugar and energy crop, is seriously impacted by drought stress. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying sugarcane drought resistance, especially the functions of epigenetic regulators, remains elusive. Here, we show that a S. spontaneum KDM4/JHDM3 group JmjC protein, SsJMJ4, negatively regulates drought-stress responses through its H3K27me3 demethylase activity. Ectopic overexpression of SsJMJ4 in Arabidopsis reduced drought resistance possibly by promoting expression of AtWRKY54 and AtWRKY70, two negative regulators of drought stress. SsJMJ4 directly bound to AtWRKY54 and AtWRKY70, and reduced H3K27me3 levels at these loci to ensure their proper transcription under normal conditions. Drought stress downregulated both transcription and protein abundances of SsJMJ4, which was correlated with the reduced occupancy of SsJMJ4 at AtWRKY54 and AtWRKY70 chromatin, the increased H3K27me3 levels at these loci, as well as the reduced transcription levels of these genes. In S. spontaneum, drought stress-repressed transcription of SsWRKY122, an ortholog of AtWRKY54 and AtWRKY70, was associated with the increased H3K27me3 levels at these loci. Transient overexpression of SsJMJ4 in S. spontaneum protoplasts raised transcription of SsWRKY122, paralleled with reduced H3K27me3 levels at its loci. These results suggest that the SsJMJ4-mediated dynamic deposition of H3K27me3 is required for proper response to drought stress.

    Abstract To investigate the incidence rate, clinical and gene mutation characteristics of multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) in newborns in Zhejiang province. A total of 3 896 789 newborns were screened for MADD using tandem mass spectrometry in Zhejiang Neonatal Screening Center during January 2009 and December 2020. Patients of MADD were confirmed by urine organic acid and electron transferring flavoprotein (or electron transferring flavoprotein dehydrogenase () gene detection. MADD patients were given diet and life management, supplemented with L-carnitine, riboflavin and coenzyme Q 10 treatment, and their growth and intellectual development were evaluated during the followed up.Thirteen patients with MADD were diagnosed, with an incidence of 1/299 753. One patient was type Ⅱ, and the rest were type Ⅲ. Patients were followed up for 1 case died, 4 cases had acute metabolic disorders with hypoglycemia as the main manifestation due to infection, 1 case had hypotonia, and the rest 7 cases developed well. Patients had raised levels of C4-C18:1 acylcarnitines in the initial screening. Thirteen children were genetically tested, 1 case with compound heterozygous mutation in the gene, 1 case with homozygous mutation in the gene, 1 case with compound heterozygous mutation in the gene, 8 cases with compound heterozygous mutation and 1 case with homozygous mutation in the gene, 1 case that only 1 locus of gene was detected. The c.250G>A was the hotspot mutation in this study.The clinical manifestations of MADD are highly heterogeneous. The neonatal-onset form is serious, and late onset form usually has no obvious clinical symptoms. C4-C18:1 acylcarnitines usually increased in the initial screening, and the hotspot gene mutation is c.250G>A.

    Abstract Free amino acids (FAAs) participate in the synthesis of quality characteristic ingredients and taste substances in fermented minced peppers (FMPs), and they can be affected by fermentation method and time. In this study, changes in FAAs of FMP during natural fermentation (NF) and inoculated fermentation (IF) process were characterized by HPLC‐MS/MS. The results showed that a total of 20 FAAs were identified, including 8 essential amino acids (AAs), 2 semiessential AAs, and 10 nonessential AAs. Comparing with other FAAs, Gln, Arg, and Asn presented higher content in the whole NF or IF periods. The FAAs content of NF and IF samples showed similar tendency during fermentation process, which first increased and then decreased. The highest content of most FAAs in IF and NF samples was obtained on the 18‐ and 12‐day, respectively. Moreover, the FAA content in IF samples was higher than that in NF ones at the same fermentation time. The taste AAs content accounted for 23.3% to 50.0% in total FAAs, and taste activity value of bitter and umami was higher than sweet and aromatic ones. Based on principal component analysis, comprehensive analysis ranking, and heat map clustering analysis, FMP obtained by IF posed better FAAs quality than NF samples during fermentation process. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Free amino acids (FAAs) participate in the synthesis of quality characteristic ingredients and taste substances in fermented minced peppers (FMPs), and they can be affected by fermentation method and time. Changes in FAA varieties and level in FMP during natural fermentation (NF) and inoculated fermentation (IF) process were analyzed using HPLC‐MS/MS. Then, they were performed by principal component analysis (PCA), and clustered with the heat map. The results showed that FMP obtained by IF posed better FAAs quality than NF samples in the whole fermentation. HPLC‐MS/MS was a reliable and effective mean for determining the FAAs and could provide regulation guidelines for improving the quality of FMP during fermentation process.
