    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the effect of Jintiange capsule on acute bone atrophy (vertebral height, Cobb's angle, bone mineral density, and visual analog score (VAS) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.
    Methods: A total of 106 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were selected and randomly divided into study and control group. Vertebral height ratio (VHR), Cobb's angle, bone mineral density (BMD), and VAS analyses were performed as study indexes. The study was performed from January 2019 to December 2019 as a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial and all the participants were blinded throughout the study. There were 24 males and 29 females in the study group, with 14 cases of thoracic fractures and 39 cases of lumbar fractures. The age was 61-75 years, with an average of 67.5 ± 2.7 years, and the course of disease was 1-9 days, with an average of 2.7 ± 0.5 days. There were 22 males and 31 females in the control group, with 17 cases of thoracic fractures and 36 cases of lumbar fractures. Patients in the control group received conventional postoperative treatment, while patients in the study group were treated with Jintiange capsule. The treatment continued for 3 months. The ages of the participants were from 60 to 70 years, while the average ages of both groups were 67 ± 2.8 years and the study recruited participants of both sexes.
    Results: The clinical efficacy, vertebral imaging indexes before and after treatment, as well as pain and daily activity dysfunction scores were compared. The effect of the Jintiange capsule was followed for 3 months and both the groups were compared. The total effective score of the study group was significantly increased (90.6%) in contrast to the control group (67.9) and the P value was less than the 0.5. The vertebral height and bone mineral density of the study group was significantly improved compared to the control group (P < 0.034) using t-test. However, the Cobb's angle of the study group was significantly (P < 0.047) lower than the control group using t-test after the treatment. On the other hand, the VAS score and Oswestry score of the study group were significantly lower than control group at 1 month and 3 months after treatment (P < 0.05). There was no significance difference (all P > 0.05) in term of gender and ages in both the recruited groups.
    Conclusion: It can be concluded that Jintiange capsule can significantly improve the clinical efficacy rate, vertebral height, Cobb's angle, and bone mineral density, pain relief, and daily activity function.

    Abstract Globally, there are emerging cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children. These cases have gathered increasing attention, owing to the development of acute liver failure in some cases that resulted in liver transplantation. This review briefly summarizes the outbreak and diagnostic criteria of the disease. We further discuss the possible causes and related mechanisms underlying its occurrence and progression, and analyze the challenges in management. Finally, this review emphasizes patient management in clinical settings and a combination of efforts to unmask the disease.

    Abstract Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common type of cancer and has the fourth highest death rate among all cancers. There is a lack of studies examining the impact of liver metastases on the effectiveness of immunotherapy in individuals diagnosed with GC.
    Aim: To investigate the influence of liver metastases on the effectiveness and safety of immunotherapy in patients with advanced GC.
    Methods: This retrospective investigation collected clinical data of patients with advanced stomach cancer who had immunotherapy at our hospital from February 2021 to January 2023. The baseline attributes were compared using either the Chi-square test or the Fisher exact probability method. The chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were employed to assess the therapeutic efficacy and survival duration in GC patients with and without liver metastases.
    Results: The analysis comprised 48 patients diagnosed with advanced GC, who were categorized into two groups: A liver metastasis cohort (
    Conclusion: Immunotherapy is less effective in GC patients with liver metastases compared to those without liver metastasis.

    Abstract Plant heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) belong to a very large gene family and play dominant roles in response to heat stress. Here, we report the functional analysis of VaHsfC1, a class C Hsf gene from Vitis amurensis, and involved in multiple abiotic stresses. The structure of VaHsfC1 contains a typical HSF domain for DNA-binding at N terminus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that VaHsfC1 belongs to the C1 family of Hsfs. VaHsfC1 was highly induced by heat, cold, exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and salinity, respectively. Unusually, VaHsfC1was preferentially localized in nucleus, but less in the cytosol. Also, no transcriptional activation was detected for the protein in yeast cells. Ectopic VaHsfC1 expression in Arabidopsis enhanced heat tolerance characterized by the increased survival rate, higher chlorophyll content, reduced electrolyte leakage, and activated expressions of ascorbate peroxidase (Apx2) and heat shock protein (HSP) expression compared to the WT. Interestingly, overexpression of VaHsfC1 in Arabidopsis could also increase the cold tolerance, as reveled from a series changes at the physiological and biochemical steps, as well as at the transcript levels of CORs in the CBF-dependent responsive pathway. Additionally, the growth of VaHsfC1-overexpressing Arabidopsis showed enhanced seed ABA hypersensitivity during germination and cotyledon development, and a significant reduction in stomatal aperture was also observed in overexpression lines. Furthermore, VaHsfC1-overexpressing lines displayed salt-hypersensitive phenotype with a lower rates both in germination and cotyledon greening, and the inhibition of root growth. Our findings demonstrated that the complex nature of VaHsfC1 in mediating multiple abiotic stress responses, as a key component to further understanding of the ‘crosstalk’ mechanism of multiple abiotic stress response in plants.

    Abstract The subfamily Nolinoideae of Asparagaceae is an extremely morphologically heterogeneous group, which is comprised of seven lineages, formerly known as Eriospermaceae, Polygonateae, Ophiopogoneae, Convallarieae, Ruscaceae s.s., Dracaenaceae, and Nolinaceae from different families or even orders. Their drastically divergent morphologies and low level of molecular resolution have hindered our understanding on their evolutionary history. To resolve reliable and clear phylogenetic relationships of the Nolinoideae, a phylogenetic study was conducted based on transcriptomic sequencing of 15 species representing all the seven lineages. A dataset containing up to 2,850,331 sites across 2,126 genes was analyzed using both concatenated and coalescent methods. Except for

    Abstract Oral administration is the most preferred and simplest route, but it is highly challenging due to the numerous barriers in the gastrointestinal tract. To overcome these barriers, nanocarriers have been developed to protect oral drugs. An increased understanding of viral infection has inspired researchers to mimic the viral structures and functions in the design of drug carriers. The virus-inspired nanoparticles (VINs) have been highly optimized based on the viral specific features to enhance the bioavailability of drugs. Herein, we have reviewed the development and design strategies of VINs, as well as a systematic summary for mechanisms and processes of oral absorption and the application of VINs, providing a new perspective on challenges to the clinical translation of oral nano-carriers.

    Abstract Aspidistra is a large genus of herbaceous plants with more than 130 species growing in tropical forests of SE Asia and specially diversified in southern China and northern Vietnam. The genus is characterized by its evergreen understorey habitats with flowers set at ground level and more or less hidden in litter material. Aspidistra fenghuangensis is a species currently only known from central China. In recent years, number of species in this genus has been greatly increased. However, the high throughput sequencing data have never been reported in this genus. Here, we sequenced the transcriptome of A. fenghuangensis obtained from young leaves using the Illumina HiSeq2000 with 9.15Gb of clean data. Because of the absence of a reference-grade genome in the genus, a de novo assembly of the transcriptome data with full annotation have been carried out. This data is accessible via NCBI BioProject (PRJNA608213).

    Abstract On October 5th, 2020, Drs. Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice were rewarded with Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for "the discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV)". During the past 50 years, remarkable achievements have been made in treatment of HCV infection: it has changed from being a life-threatening chronic disease to being curable. In this commentary, we briefly summarized the milestone events in the "scientific journey" from the first report of non-A, non-B hepatitis and discovery of the pathogen (HCV) to final identification of efficacious direct-acting antivirals. Further, we address the challenges and unmet issues in this field.
