Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Extensive research has revealed the significant role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of tumor development. In this study, high-throughput sequencing analysis was used to assess the expression levels of lncRNAs in three pairs of HCC tissues and their corresponding noncancerous tissues. Through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis and clinicopathological analysis, it was discovered that HNF4A-AS1 was downregulated in HCC tissues. Furthermore, its expression levels were found to be positively correlated with the prognosis of HCC patients. Subsequent in vitro and in vivo functional studies demonstrated that HNF4A-AS1 inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and stemness of HCC cells. Mechanistically, it was observed that HNF4A-AS1 physically interacts with the KH3 domain of PCBP2 through a specific segment (491-672 nt). This interaction facilitates the recruitment of PCBP2 by AIP4, leading to the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of PCBP2. Furthermore, HNF4A-AS1 was found to regulate the stability of AGR2 mRNA by modulating PCBP2, thereby influencing the malignant phenotype of HCC. Overall, our study demonstrated a positive association between the decrease in HNF4A-AS1 expression and the prognosis of patients with HCC in a clinical setting. HNF4A-AS1 can suppress the stability of ARG2 mRNA by promoting the ubiquitin-modulated degradation of PCBP2, which suppresses HCC progression. HNF4A-AS1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for HCC.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Clinical studies have found that Qianyang Yuyin granule (QYYYG), a kind of oral Chinese patent medicine, had definite clinical effect for hypertensive myocardial remodeling. However, the potential mechanism is not entirely clear.
AIM OF THE STUDY: The purpose of this research was to explore the underlying mechanism QYYYG on the treatment of hypertensive myocardial remodeling.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Analysis the transcriptome data from the NCBI public platform GEO database and our study to explore the key pathological change of myocardial tissues in hypertensive mice and the main pathway of QYYYG in treating hypertensive myocardial remodeling. Network pharmacological analysis was used to predict the potential target of QYYYG. The molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation was used for molecular binding analysis of specific compounds and target proteins. In the experiment in vivo, the effect of QYYYG on hypertensive myocardial remodeling and myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction in hypertensive mice caused by Ang Ⅱ was estimated. In the experiment in vitro, the Ang Ⅱ-induced myocardial remodeling model in H9c2 cells was constructed, and the effect of QYYYG on ameliorating myocardial remodeling and mitochondrial dysfunction was evaluated.
RESULTS: Transcriptome analysis suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction was a key pathological change of myocardial tissues in hypertensive mice, and QYYYG could improve hypertensive myocardial remodeling through enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis to repair myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction. Network pharmacological analysis predicted that SIRT1 was an important potential target of QYYYG in treating hypertensive myocardial remodeling, and basically all the active components, especially quercetin, had a great binding affinity with SIRT1. Experiments in vivo proved that QYYYG had great efficacy hypertensive myocardial remodeling in Ang Ⅱ-treated mice. It was found that QYYYG improved the quality and quantity of mitochondria, and increased SIRT1 levels in myocardial tissue of Ang Ⅱ-treated mice. In Ang Ⅱ-treated H9c2 cells, with intervention of QYYYG, myocardial remodeling and myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction was ameliorated. In addition, QYYYG up-regulated SIRT1 expression and enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis in Ang Ⅱ-treated H9c2 cells.
CONCLUSION: This study suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction was an important pathological change of myocardial tissues in hypertensive mice. QYYYG might ameliorate the mitochondrial dysfunction of hypertensive myocardial remodeling through up-regulating SIRT1 expression to enhance the mitochondrial biogenesis.

Patients are randomly assigned to the Allocation by Predictive Biomarker Algorithm group. Based on the outcome result from the personalized predictive biomarker algorithm, patients predicted as non-responders to escitalopram monotherapy will receive open-label escitalopram (10-20 mg/d) and blinded brexpiprazole (0.5-2 mg/d) for the first 8 weeks of the study. For the final 4 weeks of the study, patients will continue to receive both medications but the brexpiprazole will no longer be blinded.
BACKGROUNDS: Urinary Tract Dilation (UTD) classification has been designed to be a more objective grading system to evaluate antenatal and post-natal UTD. Due to unclear association between UTD classifications to specific anomalies such as vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR), management recommendations tend to be subjective.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to develop a model to reliably predict VUR from early post-natal ultrasound.
STUDY DESIGN: Radiology records from single institution were reviewed to identify infants aged 0-90 days undergoing early ultrasound for antenatal UTD. Medical records were reviewed to confirm diagnosis of VUR. Primary outcome defined as dilating (≥Gr3) VUR. Exclusion criteria include major congenital urologic anomalies (bilateral renal agenesis, horseshoe kidney, cross fused ectopia, exstrophy) as well as patients without VCUG. Data were split into training/testing sets by 4:1 ratio. Machine learning (ML) algorithm hyperparameters were tuned by the validation set.
RESULTS: In total, 280 patients (540 renal units) were included in the study (73 % male). Median (IQR) age at ultrasound was 27 (18-38) days. 66 renal units were found to have ≥ grade 3 VUR. The final model included gender, ureteral dilation, parenchymal appearance, parenchymal thickness, central calyceal dilation. The model predicted VUR with AUC at 0.81(0.73-0.88) on out-of-sample testing data. Model is shown in the figure.
DISCUSSION: We developed a ML model that can predict dilating VUR among patients with hydronephrosis in early ultrasound. The study is limited by the retrospective and single institutional nature of data source. This is one of the first studies demonstrating high performance for future diagnosis prediction in early hydronephrosis cohort.
CONCLUSIONS: By predicting dilating VUR, our predictive model using machine learning algorithm provides promising performance to facilitate individualized management of children with prenatal hydronephrosis, and identify those most likely to benefit from VCUG. This would allow more selective use of this test, increasing the yield while also minimizing overutilization.

In an attempt to develop a new opiate detoxification approach, the authors assessed the efficacy of buspirone in the treatment of acute heroin withdrawal. Buspirone, a drug interacting with the serotonergic system was selected because there is evidence that a decrease in serotonergic neurotransmission may be involved in opiate withdrawal symptomatology.

Hospitalized heroin addicts were randomized to 4 groups: 1) placebo; 2) methadone; 3) buspirone 30 mg daily; 4) buspirone 45 mg daily. The double-blind trial started in all patients with a 5-day methadone stabilization period ending with a 30 mg dose. This was followed from day 6 through 12 by placebo in group 1 and by a methadone taper in group 2. Because of its delayed action, buspirone was started on day 1 in groups 3 and 4 and was continued, after methadone discontinuation, through day 12. On day 13, drugs and placebo were discontinued and patients observed through day 14. Withdrawal symptoms were assessed with the "Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale" (SOWS) and the "Objective Opiate Withdrawal Scale" (OOWS). Participants met with a research assistant daily for 30 minutes while on an inpatient unit. The study did not interfere with the scheduled ward activities. Results so far indicate that the SOWS and OOWS scores were significantly higher in the Placebo group than in the Methadone, Buspirone 30 mg and Buspirone 45 mg groups. There were no significant differences in SOWS or OOWS scores when the Methadone group was compared to each of the two Buspirone groups or when the two Buspirone groups were compared to one another. Thus buspirone, a non opiate drug with no abuse potential, a safe side effect profile and no withdrawal symptoms at doses of 30 and 45 mg, was as effective as a methadone taper in alleviating the withdrawal symptoms of heroin addicts stabilized for 5 days with, and then withdrawn from, methadone. Additional analyses will be performed using data collected in the course of the study.
