BACKGROUND: Sepsis is considered a high risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF), with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) being implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. However, the precise role of NETs and NETs-related genes (NRGs) in the occurrence of NOAF in sepsis remains inadequately elucidated. The objective of this study was to identify hub NRGs connecting sepsis and AF, and to investigate the potential association between NETs and NOAF in sepsis.
METHODS: The AF and sepsis microarray datasets were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database for analysis of shared pathophysiological mechanisms and NRGs implicated in both sepsis and AF using bioinformatics techniques. The CIBERSORT algorithm was employed to assess immune cell infiltration and identify common immune characteristics in these diseases. Additionally, a rat model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis was utilized to investigate the association between NETs, NRGs, and sepsis-induced AF. Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence were employed to assess the expression of NRGs, the formation of NETs, and the infiltration of neutrophils. Electrophysiological analysis and multi-electrode array techniques were utilized to examine the vulnerability and conduction heterogeneity of AF in septic rats. Furthermore, intervention was conducted in LPS-induced sepsis rats using DNase I, a pharmacological agent that specifically targets NETs, in order to assess its impact on neutrophil infiltration, NETs formation, hub NRGs protein expression, and AF vulnerability.
RESULTS: A total of 61 commonly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and four hub DE-NRGs were identified in the context of sepsis and AF. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these DEGs were predominantly associated with processes related to inflammation and immunity. Immune infiltration analysis further demonstrated the presence of immune infiltrating cells, specifically neutrophil infiltration, in both sepsis and AF. Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between the relative expression of the four hub DE-NRGs and neutrophil infiltration. In rats with LPS-induced sepsis, we observed a notable upregulation in the expression of four DE-NRGs, the formation of NETs, and infiltration of neutrophils in atrial tissue. Through electrophysiological assessments, we identified heightened vulnerability to AF, reduced atrial surface conduction velocity, and increased conduction heterogeneity in LPS-induced sepsis rats. Notably, these detrimental effects can be partially ameliorated by treatment with DNase I.
CONCLUSIONS: Through bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation, we identified four hub NRGs in sepsis and AF. Subsequent experiments indicated that the formation of NETs in the atria may contribute to the pathogenesis of NOAF in sepsis. These discoveries offer potential novel targets and insights for the prevention and treatment of NOAF in sepsis.

Episiotomy is a planned surgical incision to the perineum and posterior wall of the vagina during the second stage of labor. The fibrotic and sclerotic scar tissue formed as part of the healing process of episiotomies may cause pain. Therefore, episiotomy is associated with sexual dysfunction due to the painful sexual intercourse, chronic pain and infections and scarring in long term. 40% of the patients complain about persisted dyspareunia after 6 months of delivery. Genital pelvic pain/penetration disorders disturb the quality of sexual life of the couple and affect the psychology and wellbeing of the partners. Since, vulva is rich in afferent nerve endings, episiotomy scar healing is associated with pain. Er:YAG laser is a safe option for the treatment of vulvar pain.

Er:YAG laser is a non-invasive and non-ablative procedure that strengthens the connective tissue in the vaginal wall. It provides controlled thermal energy and causes shrinkage of the collagen fibrils in the vaginal epithelium and lamina propria. It also induces neocollagenesis, elastogenesis and neoangiogenesis by temperature change. With minimum damage to the peripheral tissue, the viable cells in the target tissue react to this temperature change by expressing heat shock proteins (HSP). Then, HSP increases the levels of transforming growth factor-beta, fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, vascular epithelial growth factor which induce neocollagenesis and neoangiogenesis. Therefore, the thermal energy stored in the vaginal wall induces proliferation of the epithelium which is rich in glycogen, neovascularization and collagen production in the lamina propria. Er:YAG laser is also an effective modality to treat the scar tissue formed after the mediolateral episiotomy since it is a matter of functionality and esthetics. By tissue remodeling effect Er:YAG laser will improve the scar tissue of episiotomy and ameliorate the vulvar pain.

In this study, the therapeutic effect of Er:YAG laser on the tissue healing of the episiotomy scars and the reduction of vulvar pain.

AIMS: Basolateral amygdala (BLA), as a center for stress responses and emotional regulation, is involved in visceral hypersensitivity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) induced by stress. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of EphB2 receptor (EphB2) in BLA and explore the underlying mechanisms in this process.
METHODS: Visceral hypersensitivity was induced by water avoidance stress (WAS). Elevated plus maze test, forced swimming test, and sucrose preference test were applied to assess anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. Ibotenic acid or lentivirus was used to inactivate BLA in either the induction or maintenance stage of visceral hypersensitivity. The expression of protein was determined by quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence, and western blot.
RESULTS: EphB2 expression was increased in BLA in WAS rats. Inactivation of BLA or downregulation of EphB2 in BLA failed to induce visceral hypersensitivity as well as anxiety-like behaviors. However, during the maintenance stage of visceral pain, visceral hypersensitivity was only partially relieved but anxiety-like behaviors were abolished by inactivation of BLA or downregulation of EphB2 in BLA. Chronic WAS increased the expression of EphB2, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), and postsynaptic density protein (PSD95) in BLA. Downregulation of EphB2 in BLA reduced NMDARs and PSD95 expression in WAS rats. However, activation of NMDARs after the knockdown of EphB2 expression still triggered visceral hypersensitivity and anxiety-like behaviors.
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the results suggest that EphB2 in BLA plays an essential role in inducing visceral hypersensitivity. In the maintenance stage, the involvement of EphB2 is crucial but not sufficient. The increase in EphB2 induced by WAS may enhance synaptic plasticity in BLA through upregulating NMDARs, which results in IBS-like symptoms. These findings may give insight into the treatment of IBS and related psychological distress.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) occurs after surgery and severely impairs patients' quality of life. Finding POCD-associated variables can aid in its diagnosis and prognostication. POCD is associated with noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), involved in metabolic function, immune response alteration, and cognitive ability impairment; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate hub miRNAs (i.e., miRNAs that have an important regulatory role in diseases) regulating postoperative cognitive function and the associated mechanisms. Hub miRNAs were identified by bioinformatics, and their expression in mouse hippocampus tissues was determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Hub miRNAs were overexpressed or knocked down in cell and animal models to test their effects on neuroinflammation and postoperative cognitive function. Six differentially expressed hub miRNAs were identified. miR-206-3p was the only broadly conserved miRNA, and it was used in follow-up studies and animal experiments. Its inhibitors reduced the release of proinflammatory cytokines in BV-2 microglia by regulating its target gene, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and the downstream signaling pathways. miR-206-3p inhibition suppressed microglial activation in the hippocampi of mice and improved learning and cognitive decline. Therefore, miR-206-3p significantly affects POCD, implying its potential as a therapeutic target.
OBJECTIVE: Conflicting associations have been noted between thyroid function and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), with indications that pre-pregnancy BMI might influence these relationships. This study aims to examine the effect of thyroid hormone indices and their mediation role on the risk of GDM.
METHODS: Pregnant women in our study were recruited from the Zhoushan Pregnant Women Cohort, Zhejiang Province, China. Participants who had their first prenatal follow-up and measured thyroid biomarkers in the first trimester, and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) records in the second trimester were eligible for inclusion in this study. The data were extracted from the Electronic Medical Record System database, at Zhoushan Maternal and Child Care Hospital. Maternal information about sociodemographic and health-related characteristics was extracted from the dataset. A unique personal identification number was provided to link both datasets. Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to investigate the correlations between thyroid hormone indices with GDM. The interaction effects of first-trimester thyroid hormone indices with pre-pregnancy BMI on GDM risk using a generalized linear regression model. Furthermore, the mediation analysis was used to explore the potential mediating effects of thyroid hormone indices on the relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI and GDM.
RESULTS: Overall, 5895 pregnant women were included in this study. The first-trimester FT4, thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), thyrotropin index (TSHI) and thyrotroph thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI) levels were negatively associated with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and postprandial blood glucose (PBG2H) in the second trimester (all P<0.05); FT3 and the FT3-to-FT4 ratio levels were positively associated with PBG1H and PBG2H in the second trimester (all P<0.05). Moreover, there were significant correlations between the highest quartile FT4, FT3, FT3-to-FT4 ratio, TSHI, and TFQI with GDM (all P < 0.05). The mediating effect of thyroid hormone parameters was 24.9% on the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and GDM.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the low FT4, high FT3-to-FT4 ratio, and low TFQI in the first trimester significantly increase the risk of GDM and should be given more attention. Furthermore, increased pre-pregnancy BMI might partially increase the risk of GDM by influencing the body's thyroid function.
HNF-4 (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4) is a protein enriched in liver extracts that binds to sites required for the transcription of the transthyretin (TTR) and apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) genes (Costa et al., 1989; Costa et al., 1990; Leff et al., 1989). We have purified HNF-4 protein (54 kD) and isolated a cDNA clone encoding the protein. HNF-4 is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily with an unusual amino acid in the conserved "knuckle" of the first zinc finger (DGCKG). This and the fact that HNF-4 does not bind significantly to estrogen, thyroid hormone or glucocorticoid response elements indicate that HNF-4 may represent a new subfamily. HNF-4 binds to its recognition site as a dimer and activates transcription in a sequence-specific fashion in nonhepatic (HeLa) cells. HNF-4 mRNA is present in kidney and intestine as well as liver but is absent in other tissues. DNA binding data suggest that HNF-4 could be identical to liver factor A1 (LF-A1), a factor previously shown to regulate the transcription of the alpha-1 antitrypsin, apolipoprotein A1 and pyruvate kinase genes.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of corn gluten-derived soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitory peptides on nonalcoholic fatty liver fibrosis induced by a high-fat diet and carbon tetrachloride in mice. Mice treated with corn peptides at doses of 500 or 1000 mg/kg/d for 4 weeks exhibited reduced sEH activity in serum and liver, enhanced lipid metabolism, and decreased lipid accumulation and oxidative stress. Corn peptides effectively downregulated the mRNA levels of Pro-IL-1β, Pro-IL-18, NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), ASC, Pro-caspase-1, Caspase-1, and GSDMD in the liver. This hepatoprotective effect of corn peptides by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation was further validated in H2O2-induced HepG2 cells. Moreover, corn peptides restored the composition of the gut microbiota and promoted short-chain fatty acid production. This study provides evidence that corn-derived sEH inhibitory peptides have hepatoprotective activity against nonalcoholic fatty liver fibrosis by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation and modulating gut microbiota.

There is a growing interest in employing whole food-based strategies to prevent chronic diseases, owing to the potential synergistic interactions among various bioactive components found within whole foods. The current research aimed to determine inhibitory effects of the whole edible mushroom Pleurotus eryngii (WPE) on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in mice. Our results showed that dietary intake of WPE significantly inhibited the abnormal gain of body weight and adipose tissue weight, improved glucose tolerance, and ameliorated the serum biochemical parameters in HFD-fed mice. The histological analysis illustrated that the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver induced by HFD was significantly reduced by WPE. Oral intake of WPE profoundly modulated the mRNA levels of hepatic genes involved in lipid metabolism and also increased the level of short-chain fatty acids in the mouse cecum. Moreover, WPE alleviated the HFD-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis, increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Akkermansia, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Sutteralla), and decreasing the harmful ones (rc4-4, Dorea, Coprococcus, Oscillospira, and Ruminococcus). These findings presented new evidence supporting that WPE could be used as a whole food-based strategy to protect against obesity and obesity-driven health problems.

Salvage laryngectomy is associated with the highest morbidity and mortality in head and neck cancer patients. Pharyngocutaneous fistula is one of the most common surgical complication in the patient population and affects up to a third of patients undergoing total laryngectomy (TL) and pharyngolaryngectomy (PL). PCF is associated to increased rates of wound infections, prolonged hospitalization and vascular embarrassment (rupture and hemorrhage from major vessels). The use of vascularized flaps to assist in the reconstruction of the pharynx after laryngectomy have reduced the severity of complications patients experience after salvage laryngectomy. There is now interest in the quality of the vascular supply of the recipient pharyngeal tissue (pharyngeal mucosa). It is possible that vascular imaging of the recipient pharyngeal mucosa would provide the surgeon with intraoperative information that could guide pharyngeal mucosal debridement to remove any remaining pharyngeal tissue that has marginal vascularity (viability).

Initially developed in the 1950's, ICG imaging was used to assess retinal perfusion. Imaging acquisition with ICG uses a near-infrared wavelength (835nm) laser detection system. ICG imaging can also be used to direct debridement of marginally viable tissue. This approach has significantly reduced wound complications in patients undergoing breast reconstruction and colorectal surgery. ICG imaging has thus been found to be a reliable predictor of mucosal viability. Perfusion imaging studies in colorectal surgery, using laser fluorescence angiography, have shown a notable reduction in surgical revisions associated to anastomotic leaks, and a reduced hospitalization time. Preliminary reports in head and neck reconstructive surgery have shown an association between poor mucosal vascularity and higher fistula rate. In addition, ICG imaging and guided mucosal debridement suggest lower fistula rates.

We will be conducting a Phase II randomized trial study to assess the utility of ICG imaging for tissue perfusion, in order to reduce pharyngocutaneous fistula rate among patients undergoing salvage laryngectomy and vascularized tissue (flap) closure
