背景螺杆菌属(Helicobacter)与多种消化道疾病相关,除幽门螺杆菌(Helicobacter pylori,H.pylori)外,多种非H.pylori螺杆菌属细菌(non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacters,NHPH)也从多种动物宿主的肝脏、肠道和胆囊中分离出来,作为潜在的人畜共患病病原体,其感染和致病机制尚不清楚.目的基于H.pylori致病基因探讨螺杆菌属细菌的系统进化关系.方法调取12株H.pylori和38株NHPH的基因组,基于16S rRNA、鞭毛、尿素酶以及毒力因子基因,利用MAGA 11软件进行序列比对并构建系统进化树.结果基于16S rRNA基因的系统进化分析结果显示,胃内螺杆菌(Gastric Helicobacter,GH)和肝肠螺杆菌(Enterohepatic Helicobacter Species,EHS)聚集为2个大支,GH宿主均为哺乳动物,而EHS宿主多为禽类和哺乳动物.基于细菌鞭毛动力相关基因(flaA、flaB、fliP、fliQ、fliR、fliG、fliM、fliN)的系统进化分析支持基于16S rRNA基因所得到的系统发育关系,基于脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)合成相关基因(lptA,waaC和waaF)的系统进化关系也具有类似的规律.尿素酶基因存在于12株H.pylori和13株胃内NHPH中,仅在4株EHS(H.hepaticus、H.muridarum、H.bilis、H.anseris)中存在,但7个尿素酶基因的系统进化树未见明显一致性规律.结论螺杆菌属细菌的系统进化受到胃和肝肠定植部位的显著影响.

NbN quantum dots anchored hollow carbon nanorods as efficient polysulfide immobilizer and lithium stabilizer for Li-S full batteries

The shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)and uncontrollable lithium dendrite growth seriously hinder the practical application of lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.To simultaneously address such issues,monodispersed Nb N quantum dots anchored on nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanorods(NbN@NHCR)are elaborately developed as efficient Li PSs immobilizer and Li stabilizer for high-performance Li-S full batteries.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations and experimental characterizations demonstrate that the sulfiphilic and lithiophilic NbN@NHCR hybrid can not only efficiently immobilize the soluble Li PSs and facilitate diffusion-conversion kinetics for alleviating the shuttling effect,but also homogenize the distribution of Li+ions and regulate uniform Li deposition for suppressing Li-dendrite growth.As a result,the assembled Li-S full batteries(NbN@NHCR-S||Nb N@NHCR-Li)deliver excellent long-term cycling stability with a low decay rate of 0.031%per cycle over 1000 cycles at high rate of 2 C.Even at a high S loading of 5.8 mg cm^(-2)and a low electrolyte/sulfur ratio of 5.2μL mg^(-1),a large areal capacity of 6.2 mA h cm^(-2)can be achieved in Li-S pouch cell at 0.1 C.This study provides a new perspective via designing a dual-functional sulfiphilic and lithiophilic hybrid to address serious issues of the shuttle effect of S cathode and dendrite growth of Li anode.

Comparative study of the effects of Tartary buckwheat seed and sprout consumption on the physiological indices and gut microbiota of C57BL/6J mice

Tartary buckwheat(Fagopyrum tataricum)is a well-known pseudocereal for its health and economic value.However,abundant antinutritional factors(ANFs)reduces its health benefits.As reported,germination can improve the nutritional profile of grains.In this study,we systematically evaluate the safety of Tartary buckwheat seeds(TB)and Tartary buckwheat sprouts(TBS)used as high active ingredients.After evaluating nutrition levels,bioactive compounds and ANFs in TBS during germinating,5^(th)-day TBS were selected as the raw material.C57BL/6J mice were gavaged daily with distilled water,TB,or TBS for 6 weeks.The physiological indices related to ANFs were determined.Results showed that the TB intake tends to generate negative effects on the gut microbiota,and organs.Additionally,upon TB intake,the Fe^(3+)content in serum,trypsin activity in pancreas and jejunum decreased,while the cytokine,IgE,and histamine levels in serum,water content in faeces,cytokine levels in liver and jejunum increased.Conversely,TBS did not induce any obvious negative effects on the above relevant indices and showed better lipid-lowering effect.Altogether,TBS are safer and more effective as a raw material to produce the functional food for long-term consumption with the intention of preventing and treating hyperlipidaemia.

BoMyrosinase plays an essential role in sulforaphane accumulation in response to selenite treatment in broccoli

Sulforaphane, a naturally specialized metabolite, plays significant roles in human disease prevention and plant defense. Myrosinase(MY) is a key gene responsible for the catalysis of sulforaphane formation, but the molecular mechanisms through which MY regulates sulforaphane biosynthesis in plants remains largely unknown. Here, we discovered that the change of sulforaphane content in broccoli sprouts caused by exogenous selenite treatments is positively related to BoMY expression. BoMY overexpression in the Arabidopsis thaliana tgg1 mutants could dramatically increase myrosinase activity and sulforaphane content in the rosette leaves of 35S::BoMY/tgg1 and rescue its phenotypes.Moreover, an obvious increase of myrosinase activity and sulforaphane content was displayed in transgenic BoMY-overexpressed broccoli lines.In addition, a 2 033 bp promoter fragment of BoMY was isolated. Yeast one-hybrid(Y1H) library screening experiment uncovered that one bHLH transcription factor, BoFAMA, could directly bind to BoMY promoter to activate its expression, which was further evidenced by Y1H assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay. BoFAMA is a selenite-responsive transcription factor that is highly expressed in broccoli leaves;its protein is solely localized to nucleus. Additionally, genetic evidence suggested that the knockdown of FAMA gene in Arabidopsis thaliana could significantly decrease sulforaphane yield by inhibiting the expression of myrosinase genes. Interestingly, exogenous selenite supply could partially restore the low level of sulforaphane content in transgenic Arabidopsis FAMA-silencing plants. Our findings uncover a novel function of FAMAMY module in the regulation of selenite-mediated sulforaphane synthesis and provide a new insights into the molecular mechanism by which selenite regulates the accumulation of sulforaphane in plants.

Coevolution of superconductivity and Hall coefficient with anisotropic lattice shrinkage in compressed KCa_(2)Fe_(4)As_(24F_(2)

The stability of superconductivity in superconductors is widely recognized to be determined by various factors,including charge,spin,orbit,lattice,and other related degrees of freedom.Here,we report our findings on the pressure-induced coevolution of superconductivity and Hall coefficient in KCa_(2)Fe_(4)As_(24F_(2),an iron-based superconductor possessing a hybrid crystal structure combining KFe_(2)As_(2) and CaFeAsF.Our investigation,involving high-pressure resistance,Hall effect and x-ray diffraction(XRD) measurements,allows us to observe the connection of the superconductivity and Hall coefficient with the anisotropic lattice shrinkage.We find that its ambient-pressure tetragonal(T) phase presents a collapse starting at around 18 GPa,where the sign of the Hall coefficient(R_(H)) changes from positive to negative.Upon further compression,both superconducting transition temperature(T_(c)) and R_(H) exhibit a monotonous decrease.At around 41 GPa,the superconductivity is completely suppressed(T_(c)=0),where the parameter a begins to decline again and the Hall coefficient remains nearly unchanged.Our experiment results clearly demonstrate that the pressure-induced anisotropic lattice collapse plays a crucial role in tuning the interplay among multiple degrees of freedom in the superconducting system and,correspondingly,the stability of the superconductivity.

Evolution of Superconducting-Transition Temperature with Superfluid Density and Conductivity in Pressurized Cuprate Superconductors

What factors fundamentally determine the value of superconducting transition temperature Tc in high temperature superconductors has been the subject of intense debate.Following the establishment of an empirical law known as Homes'law,there is a growing consensus in the community that the Tc value of the cuprate superconductors is closely linked to the superfluid density(ρ_(s))of its ground state and the conductivity(σ)of its normal state.However,all the data supporting this empirical law(ρ_(s)=AσT_(c))have been obtained from the ambientpressure superconductors.In this study,we present the first high-pressure results about the connection of the quantities of ρ_(s) and σ with T_(c),through the studies on the Bi_(1.74)Pb_(0.38)Sr_(1.88)CuO_(6+δ)and Bi_(2)Sr_(2)CaCu_(2)O_(8+δ),in which the value of their high-pressure resistivity(ρ=1/σ)is achieved by adopting our newly established method,while the quantity ofρs is extracted using Homes'law.We highlight that the Tc values are strongly linked to the joint response factors of magnetic field and electric field,i.e.,ρ_(s) and σ,respectively,implying that the physics determining T_(c) is governed by the intrinsic electromagnetic fields of the system.

Primary ovarian cancer combined with primary fallopian tube cancer:A case report

BACKGROUND Low grade serous carcinoma of the ovary(LGSOC)is a rare type of epithelial ovarian cancer with a low incidence rate.The origin of ovarian cancer has always been a hot topic in gynecological oncology research,and some scholars believe that the origin of ovarian malignant tumors is the fallopian tubes.Primary fallopian tube cancer is the lowest incidence of malignant tumors in the female reproductive system.There are only a few reports in the literature,but the mortality rate is very high.But in clinical practice,fallopian tube cancer is very common,but in most cases,it is classified as ovarian cancer.CASE SUMMARY We report a 54 years old postmenopausal woman who was hospitalized with a lower abdominal mass and underwent surgical treatment.The final pathological confirmation was low-grade serous carcinoma of the right ovary and low-grade serous carcinoma of the left fallopian tube.No special treatment was performed after the surgery,and the patient was instructed to undergo regular follow-up without any signs of disease progression.CONCLUSION The prognosis of LGSOC is relatively good,over 80%of patients still experience disease recurrence.

Clinical Observation of Disposal Uterine Cavity Observation and Suction Surgery System on Terminating Pregnancy in Very Early Pregnancy

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of uterine cavity observation and suction surgery system with ultrasound guided induced abortion in very early pregnancy induced abortion surgery. Method: Select 80 patients who requested termination of pregnancy due to early pregnancy from August 2022 to April 2023, and analyze the data. 40 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided induced abortion to terminate pregnancy were included in the control group, and 40 patients who underwent uterine cavity observation surgery to terminate pregnancy were included in the observation group. Compare the surgical time, number of times the straw enters the uterine cavity, incidence of complications, and menstrual recovery time between the two groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical time between the observation group and the control group, but the number of times negative pressure straws entered the uterine cavity and the incidence of surgical complications in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P Conclusion: Applying the uterine cavity observation and suction surgical system to terminate pregnancy in very early pregnancy has the advantages of minimal damage to the uterus and low incidence of surgical complications, greatly protecting the patient’s fertility.

Tuberculosis Infected T Lymphocyte Spot as a Differential Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Choriocarcinoma Recurrence: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Introduction: Choriocarcinoma is an aggressive tumor, whose incidence is 0.18 per 100,000 women between the ages of 15 and 49 years [1]. Although its prognosis has improved with the development of chemotherapy regimens, the mortality rate of patients with brain metastases is reportedly 29.7% [2]. After chemotherapy, most often, the reappearance of masses in pulmonary is considered to be a sign of relapse. Case presentation: The patient was a 32-year-old Asian Chinese female who delivered a dead male infant at 33 weeks gestation. The placenta appeared to be normal. The major presentation was a haemorrhage of the vagina. The patient received combined treatment with systematic multi-agent chemotherapy and whole-brain radiation therapy at the General Hospital of Hebei Province and achieved complete remission. Two years after remission, a chest CT scan revealed a mass in the right lung that had become larger over 6 months. The patient’s serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) level was normal, and the tuberculosis infected T lymphocyte spot (T-SPOT.TB) tests were positive. The patient was started on anti-tuberculosis therapy, after which the size of her right lung mass decreased. Conclusion: Lung masses after choriocarcinoma require extensive laboratory and imaging exams to exclude recurrence. This case highlights the importance of differential diagnoses of lung masses in patients with choriocarcinomas. Imaging studies, β-HCG and local lesion resection should be employed to rule out choriocarcinoma recurrence.

Adipose tissue macrophages:implications for obesity-associated cancer

Obesity is one of the most serious global health problems,with an incidence that increases yearly and coincides with the development of cancer.Adipose tissue macrophages(ATMs)are particularly important in this context and contribute to linking obesity-related inflammation and tumor progression.However,the functions of ATMs on the progression of obesity-associated cancer remain unclear.In this review,we describe the origins,phenotypes,and functions of ATMs.Subsequently,we summarize the potential mechanisms on the reprogramming of ATMs in the obesity-associated microenvironment,including the direct exchange of dysfunctional metabolites,inordinate cytokines and other signaling mediators,transfer of extracellular vesicle cargo,and variations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites.A better understanding of the properties and functions of ATMs under conditions of obesity will lead to the development of new therapeutic interventions for obesity-related cancer.

促排卵是多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)不孕症的一线治疗方案。卵巢对促排卵治疗的排卵应答差被认为与胰岛素抵抗和高雄激素血症相关。在一个包含1000名PCOS不孕妇女(PCOSAct)的前瞻性队列中,我们开展了一项全外显子联合靶向单核苷酸多态性(SNP)测序以及代谢组学研究。在全基因组水平找出与无排卵显著相关的常见变异和罕见突变,并通过机器学习算法构建排卵预测模型。研究发现,ZNF438基因中标记为rs2994652(p=2.47×10^(-8))的常见变异和REC114基因中的一个罕见功能突变(rs182542888,p=5.79×10^(-6))与促排卵治疗失败显著相关。携带rs2994652 A等位基因和REC114 p.Val101Leu(rs182542888)的PCOS不孕妇女进行促排卵治疗的总排卵率更低(分别为比值比(OR)=1.96,95%置信区间(CI)[1.55~2.49];OR=11.52,95%CI[3.08~43.05]),出现排卵的间隔时间更长(平均56.7天vs.49.0天,p<0.001;78.1天vs.68.6天,p=0.014)。对于rs2994652突变者,L-苯丙氨酸水平升高并与胰岛素抵抗稳态模型(HOMA-IR)指数(r=0.22,p=0.05)和空腹血糖(r=0.33,p=0.003)呈正相关;对于rs182542888突变者,花生四烯酸代谢产物水平下降并与升高的抗苗勒管激素(r=-0.51,p=0.01)和总睾酮(r=-0.71,p=0.02)呈负相关。整合基因变异位点、代谢产物及临床特征的联合预测模型可提高对排卵的预测能力[曲线下面积(AUC)=76.7%]。ZNF438基因的一个常见变异和REC114基因的一个罕见功能突变,以及与二者相关的苯丙氨酸和花生四烯酸代谢物改变,与PCOS女性不孕症的促排卵治疗失败相关。

Cloning and Expression Analysis of Allene Oxide Synthase Gene Ls AOS in Lilium‘Siberia'

[Objectives] Allene oxide synthase（ AOS）,the first specific enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of jasmonate（ JA）,has an important role in regulating JA accumulation in plants. This study was conducted to amplify full-length AOS gene from Lilium‘Siberia＇（ LsAOS） and to explore the spatiotemporal expression of this gene. [Methods]LsAOS was cloned by rapid amplification of c DNA ends（ RACE） and analyzed bioinformatically. LsAOS expression level in nine organs/tissues and at four flowering stages was determined by quantitative PCR（ q-PCR）. [Results] LsAOS gene has an open reading frame of 1 542 bp,encoding a protein of 514 amino acids. The LsAOS protein sequence was more homologous with the AOS protein of Musa acuminata Colla than that in any other plant species.The LsAOS expression reached the maximum level at bud stage,and then gradually decreased over time during the flowering period. The LsAOS expression level in leaves was the highest,followed by in inner petals,roots,stems,etc. [Conclusions]JA participates in the whole process of plant development,and is closely related to stress resistance and secondary metabolism. AOS is one of the key genes in JA pathway and plays an important role in regulating the biosynthesis of JA.

No evidence of superconductivity in a compressed sample prepared from lutetium foil and H_(2)/N_(2) gas mixture

A material described as lutetium–hydrogen–nitrogen(Lu-H-N in short)was recently claimed to have“near-ambient superconductivity”[Dasenbrock-Gammon et al.,Nature 615,244–250(2023)].If this result could be reproduced by other teams,it would be a major scientific breakthrough.Here,we report our results of transport and structure measurements on a material prepared using the same method as reported by Dasenbrock-Gammon et al.Our x-ray diffraction measurements indicate that the obtained sample contains three substances:the facecentered-cubic(FCC)-1 phase(Fm-3m)with lattice parameter a=5.03Å,the FCC-2 phase(Fm-3m)with a lattice parameter a=4.755Å,and Lu metal.The two FCC phases are identical to the those reported in the so-called near-ambient superconductor.However,we find from our resistance measurements in the temperature range from 300 K down to 4 K and the pressure range 0.9–3.4 GPa and our magnetic susceptibility measurements in the pressure range 0.8–3.3 GPa and the temperature range down to 100 K that the samples show no evidence of superconductivity.We also use a laser heating technique to heat a sample to 1800 XC and find no superconductivity in the produced dark blue material below 6.5 GPa.In addition,both samples remain dark blue in color in the pressure range investigated.

The MINimal emission FLUXes(MINFLUX)technique in optical microscopy,widely recognized as the next innovative fluorescence microscopy method,claims a spatial resolution of 1-3 nm in both dead and living cells.To make use of the full resolution of the MINFLUX microscope,it is important to select appropriate fluorescence probes and labeling strategies,especially in living-cell imaging.This paper mainly focuses on recent applications and developments of fluorescence probes and the relevant labeling strategy for MINFLUX microscopy.Moreover,we discuss the deficiencies that need to be addressed in the future and a plan for the possible progression of MINFLUX to help investigators who have been involved in or are just starting in the field of super-resolution imaging microscopy with theoretical support.

构建M1型巨噬细胞相关lncRNA签名预测肿瘤免疫微环境

长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)被认为是肿瘤微环境和肿瘤免疫微环境中至关重要的分子。巨噬细胞作为免疫系统的重要成员,与M1型巨噬细胞功能相关的lncRNA依然需要进一步的探讨。本文基于肿瘤微环境中M1型巨噬细胞浸润程度高和低的队列样本的转录组差异构建了lncRNA签名。该lncRNA签名包含7个lncRNA∶LINC01494,ZDHHC20-IT1,LINC01450,LINC00871,EVX1-AS,KIF25-AS和AADACL2-AS1。这些lncRNA均在M1巨噬细胞缺乏型病人样本中高表达,表明它们在抑制巨噬细胞浸润和极化为M1亚型过程中的潜在作用,进而导致免疫排斥型的肿瘤微环境,而这已被证明与不良预后密切相关。该lncRNA签名不仅预测了不理想的临床预后,也与抗原处理和递呈障碍所导致的免疫抑制性环境相关。此外,我们也评估了该lncRNA签名在免疫检查点抑制疗法中的预测价值,这进一步丰富和增强了lncRNA在预测免疫治疗响应情况的价值。

Direct measurement and theoretical prediction model of interparticle adhesion force between irregular planetary regolith particles

Interparticle adhesion force has a controlling effect on the physical and mechanical properties of planetary regolith and rocks.The current research on the adhesion force of planetary regolith and rock particles has been primarily based on the assumption of smooth spherical particles to calculate the intergranular adhesion force;this approach lacks consideration for the adhesion force between irregular shaped particles.In our study,an innovative approach was established to directly measure the adhesion force between the arbitrary irregular shaped particles;the probe was modified using simulated lunar soil particles that were a typical representation of planetary regolith.The experimental results showed that for irregular shaped mineral particles,the particle size and mineral composition had no significant influence on the interparticle adhesion force;however,the complex morphology of the contact surface predominantly controlled the adhesion force.As the contact surface roughness increased,the adhesion force gradually decreased,and the rate of decrease gradually slowed;these results were consistent with the change trend predicted via the theoretical models of quantum electrodynamics.Moreover,a theoretical model to predict the adhesion force between the irregular shaped particles was constructed based on Rabinovich’s theory,and the prediction results were correlated with the experimental measurements.

The protective effects of Levilactobacillus brevis FZU0713 on lipid metabolism and intestinal microbiota in hyperlipidemic rats

Levilactobacillus brevis FZU0713, a potential probiotic previously isolated from the traditional brewing process of Hongqu rice wine, may have the beneficial effects on improving lipid metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the in vivo protective effects and possible mechanism of L. brevis FZU0713 on the disturbance of lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemic rats fed a high-fat diet(HFD). Results showed that oral administration of L. brevis FZU0713 could significantly inhibit obesity, ameliorate the lipid metabolism disorder, including serum/liver biochemical parameters and hepatic oxidative stress in HFD-fed rats. Histopathological result also indicated that dietary intervention of L. brevis FZU0713 could reduce the accumulation of lipid droplets in liver induced by 8 weeks HFD feeding. Furthermore, L. brevis FZU0713 intervention significantly increased the fecal levels of short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs, including acetate, propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate, valerate and isovalerate)in HFD-fed rats, which may be closely related to the changes of intestinal microbial composition and metabolic function. Intestinal microbiota profiling by 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that L. brevis FZU0713 intervention significantly altered the relative abundance of Coprococcus, Butyricicoccus, Intestinimonas, Lachnospiraceae FCS020 group, Ruminococcaceae_NK4A214 group, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005 and UCG-014 at genus levels. Based on Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, serum and liver lipid metabolism related biochemical parameters were positively correlated with genera Ruminococcus, Pediococcus and Lachnospiraceae, but negatively correlated with genera Pseudoflavonifractor, Butyricicoccus and Intestinimonas. Furthermore, liver metabolomics analysis demonstrated that L. brevis FZU0713 had a significant regulatory effect on the composition of liver metabolites in hyperlipidemic rats, especially the levels of some important biomarkers involved in the metabolic pathways of arachidonic acid metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acid, fructose and mannose metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, etc. Additionally, oral administration of L. brevis FZU0713 significantly regulated the mR NA levels of liver genes(including Acat2, Acox1, Hmgcr, Cd36, Srebp-1c and Cyp7a1)involved in lipid metabolism and bile acid homeostasis. In conclusion, our findings provide the evidence that L. brevis FZU0713 has the potential to improve disturbance of lipid metabolism by regulating intestinal microflora and liver metabonomic profile. Therefore, L. brevis FZU0713 may be used as a potential probiotic strain to produce functional food to prevent hyperlipidemia.
