    Abstract With the development of blockchain technology, the cryptocurrency based on blockchain technology is becoming more and more popular. This gave birth to a huge cryptocurrency transaction network has received widespread attention. Link prediction learning structure of network is helpful to understand the mechanism of network, so it is also widely studied in cryptocurrency network. However, the dynamics of cryptocurrency transaction networks have been neglected in the past researches. We use graph regularized method to link past transaction records with future transactions. Based on this, we propose a single latent factor-dependent, non-negative, multiplicative and graph regularized-incorporated update (SLF-NMGRU) algorithm and further propose graph regularized nonnegative latent factor analysis (GrNLFA) model. Finally, experiments on a real cryptocurrency transaction network show that the proposed method improves both the accuracy and the computational efficiency

    Abstract Objective: Developing and assessing a risk prediction model of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and aims to provide a reference for the prediction and prevention. Design: A retrospective case-control study. Setting: Three major urban teaching and university hospitals and tertiary referral centers. Participants: consecutive patients undergoing CABG. Interventions: The study was retrospective and no interventions were administered to patients. Measurements and main results: In the study, the overall new-onset POAF prevalence was approximately 28%. A prediction model for POAF with nine significant indicators was developed, and identified new predictors of POAF: left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), intraoperative defibrillation, and intraoperative temporary pacing lead implantation. The model had good discrimination in both the derivation and validation cohorts, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of 0.621 (95% CI = 0.602–0.640) and 0.616 (95% CI = 0.579–0.651), respectively, and showed good calibration. Compared with CHA2DS2-VASc, HATCH score, and the prediction model of POAF after CABG developed based on a small sample of clinical data from a single center in China, the model in this study had better discrimination. Conclusion: We have developed and validated a new prediction model of POAF after CABG using multicenter data that can be used in the clinic for early identification of high-risk patients of POAF, and to help effectively prevent POAF in postoperative patients.

    Abstract Neurological dysfunction is a common complication of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a role in neuronal ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, it is unknown whether it contributes to DHCA-induced brain injury. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of ER stress in a rat DHCA model and cell hypothermic oxygen–glucose deprivation reoxygenation (OGD/R) model. ER stress and apoptosis-related protein expression were identified using Western blot analysis. Cell counting assay-8 and flow cytometry were used to determine cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. Brain injury was evaluated using modified neurological severity scores, whereas brain injury markers were detected through histological examinations and immunoassays. We observed significant ER stress molecule upregulation in the DHCA rat hippocampus and in hypothermic OGD/R PC-12 cells. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that ER stress or activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) inhibition alleviated rat DHCA-induced brain injury, increased cell viability, and decreased apoptosis accompanied by C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). ER stress is involved in DHCA-induced brain injury, and the inhibition of the ATF6 branch of ER stress may ameliorate this injury by inhibiting CHOP-mediated apoptosis. This study establishes a scientific foundation for identifying new therapeutic targets for perioperative brain protection in clinical DHCA.

    Abstract Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) plays important roles in innate immunology. In this study, we isolated the STING gene in Nile tilapia, termed OnSTING. Using quantitative RT-PCR, we explored the expression patterns of the OnSTING gene. Using dual-luciferase reporter assays, we revealed the effect of STING overexpression on nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), IFN and AP activation in HEK 293 cells. Using coimmunoprecipitation, the interaction of STING and TRIF was studied. The effect of OnSTING overexpression on the antibacterial activity in tilapia was investigated. The results showed that upon stimulation with Streptococcus agalactiae, the OnSTING transcript was upregulated in all the tested tissues. OnSTING mRNA levels were very stable from 2.5 to 8.5 dpf. Moreover, OnSTING, OnIFN and IRF3 expression was induced by LPS, Poly (I:C), S. agalactiae WC1535 and DCPS in Nile tilapia macrophages. Overexpression of OnSTING and OnDDX41 increased NF-κB activation in HEK293T cells and slightly increased IFN-β activation but had no effect on AP-1 activation. OnSTING interacted with OnDDX41 and OnTBK1. However, OnSTING did not interact with TRIF. OnSTING overexpression in vivo decreased the sensitivity of tilapia to S. agalactiae infection. These results are helpful for clarifying the innate immune response against bacterial infection in Nile tilapia.

    Abstract Formaldehyde (FA) serves as a prevailing air pollutant, which has seriously threatened public health in recent years. Of all the known health effects, lung injury is one of the most severe risks. However, little is known about the circRNAs related molecular mechanism in the development of lung injury induced by FA. This study was designed to explore the potential roles of dysregulated circRNAs as well as its mechanism in FA-induced lung injury. In the present study, 24 male SD rats were exposed to formaldehyde (control, 0.5, 2.46 and 5 mg/m3) for 8 h per day for 8 weeks to induce lung injury. We used H&E staining to evaluate the histopathological changes of lung injury indifferent groups. The expression of circRNAs in lung tissue was detected by real-time PCR. Meanwhile, circRNA/miRNA/mRNA interaction networks were predicted by bioinformatics analysis. Our study revealed that formaldehyde exposure resulted in abnormal histopathological changes in lung tissues. Moreover, the expression of rno_circRNA_008646 was significantly higher in lung tissues of formaldehyde exposure rats than in control. Bioinformatics analysis showed that one potential target miRNA/mRNA for rno_circRNA_008646 was rno-miR-224/Forkhead Box I1 (FOXI1). Besides, luciferase report gene confirmed that there was targeted binding relationship between rno_circRNA_008646 and rno-miR-224, rno-miR-224 and FOXI1. Further verification experiments indicated that the expression of rno_circRNA_008646 was negatively correlated rno-miR-224, while it was positively correlated with FOXI1. JASPAR database showed transcription factor FOXI1 located in promotor of CF Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR). Both FOXI1 and CFTR were up-regulated in lung tissues after formaldehyde exposure. In conclusion, our findings suggested that formaldehyde may induce lung injury, and this may be caused by up-regulatedrno_circRNA_008646, which medicated rno-miR-224/FOXI1/CFTR axis.

    Abstract Hemostatic materials are generally applied in surgical operations for cancer, but their effects on the growth and recurrence of tumors are unclear. Herein, three commonly used naturally derived hemostatic materials, gelatin sponge, Surgicel (oxidized regenerated cellulose), and biopaper (mixture of sodium hyaluronate and carboxymethyl chitosan), were cocultured with A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro. Furthermore, the performance of hemostatic materials and the tumorigenicity of the materials with A549 cells were observed after subcutaneous implantation into BALB/c mice. The in vitro results showed that biopaper was dissolved quickly, with the highest cell numbers at 2 and 4 days of culture. Gelatin sponges retained their structure and elicited the least cell infiltration during the 2- to 10-day culture. Surgicel partially dissolved and supported cell growth over time. The in vivo results showed that biopaper degraded rapidly and elicited an acute Th1 lymphocyte reaction at 3 days after implantation, which was decreased at 7 days after implantation. The gelatin sponge resisted degradation and evoked a hybrid M1/M2 macrophage reaction at 7–21 days after implantation, and a protumor M2d subset was confirmed. Surgicel resisted early degradation and caused obvious antitumor M2a macrophage reactions. Mice subjected to subcutaneous implantation of A549 cells and hemostatic materials in the gelatin sponge group had the largest tumor volumes and the shortest overall survival (OS), while the Surgicel and the biopaper group had the smallest volumes and the longest OS. Therefore, although gelatin sponges exhibited cytotoxicity to A549 cells in vitro, they promoted the growth of A549 cells in vivo, which was related to chronic M2d macrophage reaction. Surgicel and biopaper inhibited A549 cell growth in vivo, which is associated with chronic M2a macrophage reaction or acute Th1 lymphocyte reaction.

    Abstract Puerarin is a major active ingredient of the traditional Chinese plant medicine, Radix Puerariae, and commonly used in the treatment of myocardial and cerebral ischemia. However, the effects of puerarin on neuropathic pain are still unclear. In this study, a neuropathic pain animal model was created by partial sciatic nerve ligation. Puerarin (30 or 60 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected once a day for 7 days. Mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were examined at 1 day after model establishment. Mechanical threshold and paw withdrawal latency markedly increased in a dose-dependent manner in puerarin-treated rats, especially at 7 days after model establishment. At 7 days after model establishment, quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction results showed that puerarin administration reversed mRNA expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (Trpv1) and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (Trpa1) in a dose-dependent manner in dorsal root ganglion neurons after peripheral nerve injury. These results suggest that puerarin dose-dependently ameliorates neuropathic pain by suppressing Trpv1 and Trpa1 up-regulation in dorsal root ganglion of neuropathic pain rats.
