    Abstract Hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress may disrupt insulin secretion and β-cell survival in diabetes mellitus by overproducing reactive oxygen species. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) exhibit antioxidant properties. However, the mechanisms by which hUC-MSCs protect β-cells from high glucose-induced oxidative stress remain underexplored. In this study, we showed that intravenously injected hUC-MSCs engrafted into the injured pancreas and promoted pancreatic β-cell function in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The in vitro study revealed that hUC-MSCs attenuated high glucose-induced oxidative stress and prevented β-cell impairment via the Nrf2/HO-1 signalling pathway. Nrf2 knockdown partially blocked the anti-oxidative effect of hUC-MSCs, resulting in β-cell decompensation in a high-glucose environment. Overall, these findings provide novel insights into how hUC-MSCs protect β-cells from high glucose-induced oxidative stress.

    Abstract The 1983 discovery of a mouse monoclonal antibody-the Ki-67 antibody-that recognized a nuclear antigen present only in proliferating cells represented a seminal discovery for the pathologic assessment of cellular proliferation in breast cancer and other solid tumors. Cellular proliferation is a central determinant of prognosis and response to cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer, and since the discovery of the Ki-67 antibody, Ki-67 has evolved as an important biomarker with both prognostic and predictive potential in breast cancer. Although there is universal recognition among the international guideline recommendations of the value of Ki-67 in breast cancer, recommendations for the actual use of Ki-67 assays in the prognostic and predictive evaluation of breast cancer remain mixed, primarily due to the lack of assay standardization and inconsistent inter-observer and inter-laboratory reproducibility. The treatment of high-risk ER-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer with the recently FDA-approved drug abemaciclib relies on a quantitative assessment of Ki-67 expression in the treatment decision algorithm. This further reinforces the urgent need for standardization of Ki-67 antibody selection and staining interpretation, which will hopefully lead to multidisciplinary consensus on the use of Ki-67 as a prognostic and predictive marker in breast cancer. The goals of this review are to highlight the historical evolution of Ki-67 in breast cancer, summarize the present literature on Ki-67 in breast cancer, and discuss the evolving literature on the use of Ki-67 as a companion diagnostic biomarker in breast cancer, with consideration for the necessary changes required across pathology practices to help increase the reliability and widespread adoption of Ki-67 as a prognostic and predictive marker for breast cancer in clinical practice.

    Abstract Introduction: Exogenous aging mainly refers to photo-aging, which is caused by environmental factors including ultraviolet exposure. Dextran is a homopolysaccharide composed of glucose as monosaccharide, and glucose units are connected by glycosidic bonds.
    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical efficacy of medical dextrose tincture liquid (medical dextrose tincture) in the treatment of facial photoaging.
    Methods: Thirty-four volunteers were included in the randomized double-blind study. According to the random number table method, the subjects were randomized into control and treatment groups. The subjects in the control and treatment groups were treated with medical hyaluronic acid gel and medical dextrose tincture, respectively. They received mesotherapy therapy three times with an interval of 28 days between treatments. Video image acquisition was performed before treatment and 28 days after treatment. Skin moisture content, glossiness, heme content, collagen density, and elasticity were tested. The subjective evaluations of subjects and doctors before and after treatment were compared.
    Results: Compared with the pre-treatment baseline, medical dextran tincture significantly increased skin moisture retention, skin gloss, and skin collagen density (p<0.001). Additionally, the skin retraction time was significantly reduced, and the skin retraction time was also markedly decreased after treatment with medical dextran tincture (p<0.001). The effects of medical dextran tincture were more significant in comparison with medical hyaluronic acid gel (p<0.05). The subjective evaluation results of doctors showed that after 84 days of treatment, the overall skin photoaging score was significantly reduced (p<0.001). The subjective evaluation results of volunteers showed that the various skin problems of more than 50% of volunteers were improved after treatment.
    Conclusion: Medical dextran tincture has obvious effects of moisturizing, increasing luster, improving skin redness, increasing skin collagen content and enhancing skin elasticity.

    Abstract Background: Evaluation of physical appearance perfectionism (PAP) in individuals seeking blepharoplasty would be meaningful. This study aimed to explore the relationship of demographic and psychological variables with PAP in blepharoplasty patients and further investigate the impact of blepharoplasty on PAP in these patients.
    Methods: This prospective observational study included 153 patients undergoing blepharoplasty between October 2017 and June 2019. Demographic and psychological variables, and PAP, were collected preoperatively. Postoperative satisfaction with eye appearance and PAP was collected with a 6-month follow-up.
    Results: Partial correlations analyses revealed that hope for perfection was positively associated with self-esteem (r = 0.246; P < 0.01) in 153 blepharoplasty patients. Worry about imperfection was positively related to facial appearance concern (r = 0.703; P < 0.001) and negatively related to satisfaction with eye appearance (r = -0.242; P < 0.01) and self-esteem (r = -0.533; P < 0.001). After blepharoplasty, the mean± standard deviation of satisfaction with eye appearance increased (preoperatively vs. postoperatively: 5.1 ± 2.2 vs. 7.4 ± 2.2; P < 0.001), and worry about imperfection decreased (17.0 ± 4.2 vs. 15.9 ± 4.6; P < 0.001). Whereas hope for perfection remained unchanged (23.9 ± 3.9 vs. 23.6 ± 3.9; P > 0.05).
    Conclusions: Appearance perfectionism was related to psychological variables rather than demographic variables in blepharoplasty patients. Preoperative evaluation of appearance perfectionism could be helpful for oculoplastic surgeons to screen for perfectionistic patients. Although some improvement in perfectionism has been observed after blepharoplasty, long-term follow-up is needed in the future.

    Abstract Abstract Background Eucommia ulmoides seed oil is a functional health oil with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. However, excessively high content of unsaturated fatty acids can cause E. ulmoides seed oil to easily spoil. Microencapsulation technology can effectively encapsulate substances, thereby prolonging the spoilage time of oil products. Methods In the present study, E. ulmoides seed oil from different manufacturers were analyzed by Agilent 7890B-5977A gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Encapsulation efficiency, yield rate, and scanning electron microscopy results between microcapsules prepared use different wall materials and different methods (spray drying and complex coagulation) were compared to determine the best preparation process for microcapsules. The Wantong 892 professional oil oxidation stability tester was used to measure the induced oxidation time of the E. ulmoides seed oil and microcapsules. Conclusion E. ulmoides seed oil comprises > 80% unsaturated fatty acids with a high α-linolenic acid content, followed by linoleic acid. The most promising combination was chitosan:gum arabic at 1:8 as the wall material and complex coagulation. The best preparation had a wall material concentration, stirring speed, aggregation pH, and core-to-wall ratio of 2.5%, 500 rpm, 4.2, and 1:4, respectively. Microcapsules prepared under these conditions exhibited higher yield and encapsulation efficiency (94.0% and 73.3%, respectively). The induced oxidation time of the E. ulmoides seed oil and microcapsules were 3.8 h and 13.9 h, respectively, indicating that microencapsulation can increase the oxidation induction time of this oil.

    Abstract Morphine, a commonly used drug for anesthesia, affects lipid metabolism in different tissues, but the mechanism is currently unclear. Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for the first step of triglyceride (TG) hydrolysis. Here we aim to investigate whether ATGL phosphorylation is involved in morphine-induced TG accumulation.Oil red O staining and TG content analysis were used to detect the effect of morphine on lipid storage. A series of ATGL phosphoamino acid site mutant plasmids were constructed by gene synthesis and transfected to HL-1 cells to evaluate the phosphorylation levels of ATGL phosphoamino acid in morphine-treated HL-1 cells with immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting assay.Morphine acute treatment induced excessive accumulation of TG and decreased the phosphorylation level of ATGL Ser406 in HL-1 cells. Of note, the phosphorylation positive mutation of ATGL Ser406 to aspartic acid effectively reversed morphine-induced excessive accumulation of TG in HL-1 cells.This discovery will help to fully understand the lipid regulation function of morphine in a new scope. In addition, it will expand the phosphorylation research of ATGL more comprehensively and provide powerful clues for lipid metabolism regulation.

    Abstract Background: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a form of regulated cell death (RCD) which could drive the activation of the innate and adaptive immune responses. In this work, we aimed to develop an ICD-related signature to facilitate the assessment of prognosis and immunotherapy response for melanoma patients.
    Methods: A set of machine learning methods, including consensus clustering, non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) method and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model, and bioinformatics analytic tools were integrated to construct an ICD-related risk score (ICDscore). CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE algorithm were used to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells. The 'pRRophetic' package in R and 6 cohorts of melanoma patients receiving immunotherapy were used for therapy sensitivity analyses. The predictive performance between ICDscore with other mRNA signatures were also compared.
    Results: The ICDscore could predict prognosis and immunotherapy response in multiple cohorts, and displayed superior performance than other forms of cell death-related signatures or 52 published signatures. The melanoma patients with low ICDscore were marked with high infiltration of immune cells, high expression of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related genes, and increased tumor mutation burden.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, we constructed a stable and robust ICD-related signature for evaluating the prognosis and benefits of immunotherapy, and it could serve as a promising tool to guide decision-making and surveillance for individual melanoma patients.
