    Abstract Introduction: Drugs and vaccines have been less studied as inducing or aggravating factors for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared with psoriasis. Thus, the present study collected and summarized the publications to date about this issue.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search through the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify all reports on potential drug- and vaccine-related PsA events until 28 February 2023.
    Results: In total, 179 cases from 79 studies were eligible for study. Drugs commonly reported include coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines (6 cases), bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine (3 cases), interferon (18 cases), immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) (19 cases), and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) (127 cases). Drugs causing psoriasis may also induce or aggravate PsA (6 cases). BDMARD-related PsA mostly occurred in a "paradoxical" setting, in which the bDMARDs approved for the treatment of psoriasis induce or aggravate PsA. The reported latency may be delayed up to 2 years. Peripheral arthritis (82.3%) was the most common manifestation of drug- and vaccine-related PsA, followed by dactylitis (29.1%), enthesitis (23.4%), and spondyloarthritis (17.7%).
    Conclusions: Drugs and vaccines may be implicated in the aggravation of PsA. Possible mechanisms include cytokine imbalance, immune dysregulation, or inadequate PsA treatment response compared with psoriasis. Most reports are case based without controls, so more studies are needed to further prove the causality. However, early recognition of factors causing or aggravating PsA is important to prevent the irreversible joint damage.

    Abstract Night shift workers have been associated with circadian dysregulation and metabolic disorders, which are tightly coevolved with gut microbiota. The chronic impacts of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting at night on gut microbiota and serum lipids were investigated. Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to blue or white LED lighting at Zeitgeber time 13.5-14 (ZT; ZT0 is the onset of "lights on" and ZT12 is the "lights off" onset under 12-hour light, 12-hour dark schedule). After 33 weeks, only the high irradiance (7.2 J/cm

    Abstract Large cohort studies have disclosed the association between obesity and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk. The sarcopenia prevalence in RA patients can be up to 31%. However, there is little information linking adipokines to sarcopenia in RA, so this study aimed to investigate whether adipokines were indeed involved in secondary sarcopenia in RA with a focus on non-obese females. Sixty-four female patients and 36 controls were included in this study. The serum adipokine levels (leptin and adiponectin) were determined by ELISA kits. The impacts of adipokines on muscle atrophy and potential autophagy were examined in mouse myoblasts, C2C12, upon treatment with recombinant leptin and adiponectin agonist (AdipoRan). Interestingly, serum adiponectin was significantly increased but the ratio of leptin/adiponectin was dramatically decreased in the RA patients with sarcopenia. After normalization by body mass, serum leptin was positively associated but adiponectin was negatively associated with muscle mass respectively, even after adjustment for fat mass. Treating C2C12 cells with leptin and AdipoRan inhibited proliferation of mature myotube respectively, as did treatment with the serum from RA patients. A combination of low leptin and high AdipoRan greatly decreased myogenin, but instead increased MAFbx and MuRF-1 as well as increased Beclin 1, Atg5, and LC3β. Taken together, our study reveals that secondary sarcopenia of RA females may be an imbalance of RA-related, but not obesity-related, increase in adipokine production; additionally, the reduced leptin/adiponectin ratio could be a better indicator in monitoring sarcopenia in non-obese RA females. Moreover, adipokine imbalance may promote muscle atrophy through inducing autophagy.

    Abstract Background: The imbalance of gut microbiota, dysbiosis, is associated with various malignant diseases. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of gut microbiota in age-matched treatment-naïve non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and healthy individuals to investigate possible gut-microbe-related pathways involved in the development of NSCLC. Methods: We enrolled 34 age-matched NSCLC patients and 268 healthy individuals. Hypervariable V3−V4 amplicons of 16S rRNA in freshly collected fecal samples were sequenced. Diversity, microbial composition, functional pathways, smoking history, and gut-microbe-related comorbidities were analyzed to assess the factors associated with the risk of NSCLC. Results: Microbial alpha diversity was decreased in the patients with NSCLC, and beta diversity was significantly different between the patients and controls (p < 0.001). After adjustments for sex, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 11 abundant microbes with significant differences between the patients and controls, the enrichment of Anaerotruncus spp. and Bacteroides caccae was associated with an increased risk of NSCLC (p = 0.003 and 0.007, respectively). The areas under receiver operating characteristic curves were 71.4% and 66.9% for Anaerotruncus spp. and Bacteroides caccae, respectively (both p < 0.001). Furthermore, the abundance of Bacteroides caccae was positively correlated with steroid hormone biosynthesis (p < 0.001), N-glycan biosynthesis (p = 0.023), glycosaminoglycan degradation (p < 0.001), lipoic acid metabolism (p = 0.039), peroxisome (p < 0.001), and apoptosis (p < 0.001), but inversely related to glycerolipid metabolism (p < 0.001). Anaerotruncus spp. was positively associated with decreased biosynthesis of ansamycin only (p = 0.001). No overlapping signaling pathways were modulated by Bacteroides caccae or Anaerotruncus spp. Conclusions: Our results revealed that fecal Anaerotruncus spp. and Bacteroides caccae were abundant and may be associated with the risk of NSCLC regardless of sex, smoking history, and gut-microbe-related comorbidities. Further investigations on the mechanism underlying the potential association between gut dysbiosis and the development of NSCLC are warranted.

    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is regarded as a chronic, immune-mediated disease that leads to the damage of various types of immune cells and signal networks, followed by inappropriate tissue repair and organ damage. RA is primarily manifested in the joints, but also manifests in the lungs and the vascular system. This study developed a method for the in vitro detection of RA through cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies and antigens. The diameter of a tilted-fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) biosensor was etched to 50 μm and then bonded with CCP antigens and antibodies. The small variations in the external refractive index and the optical fiber cladding were measured. The results indicated that the self-assembled layer of the TFBG biosensor was capable of detecting pre- and post-immune CCP antigen and CCP peptide concentrations within four minutes. A minimum CCP concentration of 1 ng/mL was detected with this method. This method is characterized by the sensor's specificity, ability to detect CCP reactions, user-friendliness, and lack of requirement for professional analytical skills, as the detections are carried out by simply loading and releasing the test samples onto the platform. This study provides a novel approach to medical immunosensing analysis and detection. Although the results for the detection of different concentrations of CCP antigen are not yet clear, it was possible to prove the concept that the biosensor is feasible even if the measurement is not easy and accurate at this stage. Further study and improvement are required.

    Abstract Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are novel, non-invasive biomarkers for facilitating communication and diagnosing cancer. However, only a few studies have investigated their function and role in the clinical diagnosis of breast cancer. To address this gap, we established a stable cell line, MDA-MB-231-CD63-RFP, and recruited 112 female participants for serum collection. We screened 88 exosomal miRNAs identified through microarray analysis of 231-CD63 and literature screening using real-time PCR; only exosomal miR-92b-5p was significantly increased in patients with breast cancer. It had a significant correlation with stage and discriminated patients from the control with an AUC of 0.787. Exosomal miR-92b-5p impacted the migration, adhesion, and spreading ability of normal human mammary epithelial recipient cells through the downregulation of the actin dynamics regulator MTSS1L. In clinical breast cancer tissue, the expression of MTSS1L was significantly inversely correlated with tissue miR-92b-5p, and high expression of MTSS1L was associated with better 10-year overall survival rates in patients undergoing hormone therapy. In summary, our studies demonstrated that exosomal miR-92b-5p might function as a non-invasive body fluid biomarker for breast cancer detection and provide a novel therapeutic strategy in the axis of miR-92b-5p to MTSS1L for controlling metastasis and improving patient survival.

    Abstract Non-endoscopic tools for the diagnostic evaluation of patients should be promoted in the field of biomedical assay and the need for highly sensitive, efficient, low-cost, and user-friendly sensors must be considered. Optical fibers are widely used in sensors because their properties meet the physical requirements for biomedical detection. The spectrum responses of the sensor create changes in refractive index, wavelength shifts, and transmission loss. This study presents a double helix DNA-shaped optical fiber sensor for biosensors. The sensing principle of the DNA-shaped sensor is based on the whispering gallery mode (WGM) formed by the interference in the fiber's bending region. The refractive index interference changes corresponding to the core and cladding layers, which create shifts in the spectrum affected by the radius of the bend. A self-assembled sensor layer formed with nanoparticles was coated onto the DNA-shaped sensor in a sandwich structure. The wavelength shifts in spectral response are traced by the concentrations of gastrin-17 at 0.1, 1, 10, and 50 μg ml
