We developed an array of Zea-Tripsacum tri-hybrid allopolyploids with multiple ploidies. We unveiled that changes in genome dosage due to the chromosomes pyramiding and shuffling of three species effects karyotypic heterogeneity, reproductive diversity, and phenotypic variation in Zea-Tripsacum allopolyploids. Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication, has played a major role in evolution and speciation. The genomic consequences of polyploidy have been extensively studied in many plants; however, the extent of chromosomal variation, genome dosage, phenotypic diversity, and heterosis in allopolyploids derived from multiple species remains largely unknown. To address this question, we synthesized an allohexaploid involving Zea mays, Tripsacum dactyloides, and Z. perennis by chromosomal pyramiding. Subsequently, an allooctoploid and an allopentaploid were obtained by hybridization of the allohexaploid with Z. perennis. Moreover, we constructed three populations with different ploidy by chromosomal shuffling (allopentaploid × Z. perennis, allohexaploid × Z. perennis, and allooctoploid × Z. perennis). We have observed 3 types of sexual reproductive modes and 2 types of asexual reproduction modes in the tri-species hybrids, including 2n gamete fusion (2n + n), haploid gamete fusion (n + n), polyspermy fertilization (n + n + n) or 2n gamete fusion (n + 2n), haploid gametophyte apomixis, and asexual reproduction. The tri-hybrids library presents extremely rich karyotype heterogeneity. Chromosomal compensation appears to exist between maize and Z. perennis. A rise in the ploidy of the trihybrids was linked to a higher frequency of chromosomal translocation. Variation in the degree of phenotypic diversity observed in different segregating populations suggested that genome dosage effects phenotypic manifestation. These findings not only broaden our understanding of the mechanisms of polyploid formation and reproductive diversity but also provide a novel insight into genome pyramiding and shuffling driven genome dosage effects and phenotypic diversity.
Enrollment into Part 3 may begin at the discretion of the Sponsor and will involve a maximum 42-day screening period, a treatment period comprising weekly administration of the target dose until the criteria for treatment discontinuation are met. Visits will take place on Day 1-2 and Day 8, Week 3 (Day 15), with this cycle being repeated until treatment stops, then 30 and 90 days post-last dose, then every 3 months after last dose, after which there will be a safety follow-up period of 30 days.
Sepsis represents a complex clinical syndrome that results from a harmful host response to infection. The infections most associated with sepsis are pneumonia, intra-abdominal infection, and urinary tract infection. Tea tree oil (TTO) has shown high antibacterial activity; however, it exhibits low aqueous solubility and high volatility, which have motivated its nanoencapsulation. In this study, the performance of nanoemulsions (NE) and nanocapsules (NC) loaded with TTO was compared. These systems were prepared by spontaneous emulsification and nanoprecipitation methods, respectively. Poly-ε-caprolactone or Eudragit® RS100 were tested as polymers for NCs whereas Tween® 80 or Pluronic® F68 as surfactants in NE preparation. Pluronic® F68 and Eudragit® RS100 resulted in more homogeneous and stable nanoparticles. In accelerated stability studies at 4 and 25 °C, both colloidal suspensions (NC and NE) were kinetically stable. NCs showed to be more stable to photodegradation and less cytotoxic than NEs. After sepsis induction by the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model, both NE and NC reduced neutrophil infiltration into peritoneal lavage (PL) and kidneys. Moreover, the systems increased group thiols in the kidney and lung tissue and reduced bacterial growth in PL. Taken together, both systems showed to be effective against injury induced by sepsis; however, NCs should be prioritized due to advantages in terms of cytotoxicity and physicochemical stability.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP), an acquired immune disease is characterized by impaired generation of autoantibody-specific platelet. At least 30% adult patients turn into refractory ITP. The pathogenesis of ITP remains to be elucidated. Now ,CD4+ helper cells have been classified as belong to T-helper 1(TH1), T-helper 2(TH2), T-helper17and Regulory T cell(Tregs). All-trans retinoic acid(ATRA) mainly applied in skin disease and acute promyelocytic leukemia. Recently, ATRA is also a immunomodulator which can induce differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis of cells, and immunomudulatory. In the international, the investigators first treat RITP with ATRA. To investigate the therapeutic effects of ATRA on RITP, and using new index in the cells, cytokines and molecular biology of three in-depth study of its mechanism.

BACKGROUND: There is a broad appreciation that a diagnosis of depression (D) in the elderly is a strong risk factor for incident dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD). Indeed, the two disorders might constitute a dyad, although their causal relationship is uncertain, given the likely bidirectional and compounding effects of social withdrawal and loss of previous activities, and the manifestation of language disturbances, cognitive dysfunction, and social disruption that are typical of both conditions. We argue that language declines in D and AD share common patterns and biological underpinnings, and that D/AD patients might benefit from intensive language remediation training aiming to improve the functioning of neural networks that are linked to similar cognitive impairments.
METHODS: A literature search in PubMed database included topics of language disturbances, cognitive impairments, and molecular brain imaging by positron emission tomography (PET) to identify common patterns in D and AD regarding language decline and its neurobiological underpinnings.
RESULTS: Language disturbances show a particular commonality in the two disorders, manifesting in simplified language and particular speech markers (e.g., lexical and semantic repetitions, arguably due to ruminations in D and memory deficits in AD). PET can reveal abnormal protein deposits that are practically diagnostic of AD, but cerebrometabolic deficits to PET with the glucose tracer FDG show a certain commonality in D and AD. Typical findings of hypometabolism in the frontal lobes doubtless underlie the executive function deficits, where frontal hypometabolism in prodromal D increases with AD progression. This may reflect overlapping changes in noradrenaline and other neurotransmitter (e.g. serotonin) changes. Cerebrometabolic deficits associated with language dysfunction may inform targeted language remediation treatments in the D/AD progression.
CONCLUSIONS: Language remediation techniques targeting specific language disturbances might present an important complimentary treatment strategy along with an adjusted pharmacotherapy approach and standard psychosocial rehabilitation interventions. We see a need for investigations of language remediation informed by the overlapping pathologies and language disturbances in D and AD.
BACKGROUND: Despite the advancements in heart failure(HF) research, the early diagnosis of HF continues to be a challenging issue in clinical practice. This study aims to investigate the genes related to myocardial fibrosis and conduction block, with the goal of developing a diagnostic model for early treatment of HF in patients.
METHOD: The gene expression profiles of GSE57345, GSE16499, and GSE9128 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. After merging the expression profile data and adjusting for batch effects, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with conduction block and myocardial fibrosis were identified. Gene Ontology (GO) resources, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) resources, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were utilized for functional enrichment analysis. A protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed using a string database. Potential key genes were selected based on the bioinformatics information mentioned above. SVM and LASSO were employed to identify hub genes and construct the module associated with HF. The mRNA levels of TAC mice and external datasets (GSE141910 and GSE59867) are utilized for validating the diagnostic model. Additionally, the study explores the relationship between the diagnostic model and immune cell infiltration.
RESULTS: A total of 395 genes exhibiting differential expression were identified. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these specific genes primarily participate in biological processes and pathways associated with the constituents of the extracellular matrix (ECM), immune system processes, and inflammatory responses. We identified a diagnostic model consisting of 16 hub genes, and its predictive performance was validated using external data sets and a transverse aortic coarctation (TAC) mouse model. In addition, we observed significant differences in mRNA expression of 7 genes in the TAC mouse model. Interestingly, our study also unveiled a correlation between these model genes and immune cell infiltration.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified sixteen key genes associated with myocardial fibrosis and conduction block, as well as diagnostic models for heart failure. Our findings have significant implications for the intensive management of individuals with potential genetic variants associated with heart failure, especially in the context of advancing cell-targeted therapy for myocardial fibrosis.
Patients should be informed of the early signs and symptoms of toxicity, of the need to see their physician promptly if they occur, and the need for close follow-up, including periodic laboratory tests to monitor toxicity.

Both the physician and pharmacist should emphasize to the patient that the recommended dose is taken weekly in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, and that mistaken daily use of the recommended dose has led to fatal toxicity. Patients should be encouraged to read the Patient Instructions sheet within the Dose Pack. Prescriptions should not be written or refilled on a PRN basis.

Patients should be informed of the potential benefit and risk in the use of methotrexate. The risk of effects on reproduction should be discussed with both male and female patients taking methotrexate.

The paste plaster plays effects mainly by using local skin administration, and has no adverse effect when in use. The paste plaster can take effect after being used once to twice by a patient with mild symptom generally, skin can gradually become soft and thin, the symptom can be relieved within 10-25 days and skin is gradually improved to be normal; and patients with long course of disease and serious symptoms can be recovered in 1-2 months usually.
At higher than recommended doses, this medicine has been shown to cause hypotension. There have been postmarketing case reports of intentional overdose with anagrelide hydrochloride. Reported symptoms include sinus tachycardia and vomiting. Symptoms resolved with supportive management. Platelet reduction from anagrelide therapy is dose-related; therefore, thrombocytopenia, which can potentially cause bleeding, is expected from overdosage. 

In case of overdosage, close clinical supervision of the patient is required; this especially includes monitoring of the platelet count for thrombocytopenia. Dosage should be stopped, as appropriate, until the platelet count returns to within the normal range.
Teucrium polium (germander, Lamiaceae) is a local plant in Qatar that has been used in folk medicine to treat numerous illnesses. It is known for its antioxidant, analgesic, anticancer, and antibacterial activities. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of Teucrium polium (TP) extract by α-carrageen-induced paw edema in adult Sprague Dawley rats. The animals were randomly grouped into control, acute inflammation, and plant extract groups. Acute inflammation was induced by a sub-plantar injection of 100 µL of 1% α-carrageenan into the rat's right hind paw. Three different doses of the ethanolic extract of TP were tested at different time periods (1, 3, and 5 hours). All doses of the TP ethanolic extract showed significant inhibition of α-carrageenan-induced rat paw edema in a dose-dependent manner in both early and late phases of edema formation. The size of the α-carrageen induced paw edema was significantly reduced one, three, and five hours after TP extract injection compared to the acute inflammation group. This inhibition was accompanied by high expression of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and low expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). The results indicated that the ethanolic extracts of TP possess significant anti-inflammatory and potential pharmaceutical properties.
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. DED prevalence is estimated around 15 -35% of the population over 50 years old. There is a wide variety of topic medications for the treatment of DED, though few aim the re-establishment of tear osmolarity equilibrium and reduction of damages to the ocular surface. The treatment of DED can include a medical treatment, such as tear substitution, tear preservation, production stimulation, anti-inflammatory; it can also include surgical treatment, as tarsorrhaphy and salivary gland transplant. Considering tear substitutes and anti-inflammatory topical treatments, the purpose of our study is to determine efficacy of an immunomodulating topical medication containing 0.05% cyclosporine A (CsA), compared to a topical lubricant (vitamin A, Refresh Endura®), on the treatment of dry eye disease (DED) due to primary or secondary Sjögren's syndrome (aqueous deficient DED) and evaporative DED.
AIMS: Cellular senescence is a stress-related or aging response believed to contribute to many cardiac conditions; however, its role in atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. Age is the single most important determinant of the risk of AF. The present study was designed to (i) evaluate AF susceptibility and senescence marker expression in rat models of aging and myocardial infarction (MI), (ii) study the effect of reducing senescent-cell burden with senolytic therapy on the atrial substrate in MI rats, and (iii) assess senescence markers in human atrial tissue as a function of age and the presence of AF.
METHODS AND RESULTS: AF susceptibility was studied with programmed electrical stimulation. Gene and protein expression was evaluated by immunoblot or immunofluorescence (protein) and digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (messenger RNA). A previously validated senolytic combination, dasatinib and quercetin, (D+Q; or corresponding vehicle) was administered from the time of sham or MI surgery through 28 days later. Experiments were performed blinded to treatment assignment. Burst pacing-induced AF was seen in 100% of aged (18-month old) rats, 87.5% of young MI rats, and 10% of young control (3-month old) rats (P ≤ 0.001 vs. each). Conduction velocity was slower in aged [both left atrium (LA) and right atrium (RA)] and young MI (LA) rats vs. young control rats (P ≤ 0.001 vs. each). Atrial fibrosis was greater in aged (LA and RA) and young MI (LA) vs. young control rats (P < 0.05 for each). Senolytic therapy reduced AF inducibility in MI rats (from 8/9 rats, 89% in MI vehicle, to 0/9 rats, 0% in MI D + Q, P < 0.001) and attenuated LA fibrosis. Double staining suggested that D + Q acts by clearing senescent myofibroblasts and endothelial cells. In human atria, senescence markers were upregulated in older (≥70 years) and long-standing AF patients vs. individuals ≤60 and sinus rhythm controls, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Our results point to a potentially significant role of cellular senescence in AF pathophysiology. Modulating cell senescence might provide a basis for novel therapeutic approaches to AF.
Acinetobacter baumannii has been increasingly reported in the outbreak of nosocomial infections in the intensive care units, which not only prolong the length of hospital stay but result in high attributable mortality. With its intrinsic resistance to many antimicrobial agents and rapid acquirement of resistance mechanism, resistance to carbapenems, which is often accompanied with resistance to multiple drugs, has emerged worldwide. The limited treatment choice included tigecycline, colistin, and sulbactam. However, the low serum level and bacteriostatic nature of tigecycline hamper its application in blood stream infection, one of the most common presentations of A. baumannii infections. The nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity of intravenous colistin have caused great concerns in critically ill patients whereas immediate bronchospasm after inhalation and significant clinical consequences have been reported. Sulbactam has been used for decades in combination of ampicillin and well tolerated. However, the emergence of resistance strains and discourage of monotherapy in severely ill patients make combination an attractive choice. Combination of sulbactam and carbapenems has good synergism against A. baumannii with elevated minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of sulbactam and/or carbapenems while in an animal model using A. baumannii with higher MIC of both sulbactam and meropenem, survival rate was higher in combination group than sulbactam or meropenem-treated alone group. The similar in vivo bactericidal effect was also observed in combination of imipenem and sulbactam. Despite plenty of in vivo and in vitro studies mentioned above, the clinical studies were limited. Besides, the information regarding the correlation of in vitro synergistic effect of carbapenem and sulbactam with the clinical effect is rarely mentioned. Therefore, our study is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy of imipenem and sulbactam in patients contracted with A. baumannii, and to correlate the clinical effect with the in vitro synergistic results

Multiple regulatory mechanisms are in place to ensure the normal processes of bone metabolism, encompassing both bone formation and absorption. This study has identified chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) as a critical regulator that safeguards bone formation from the detrimental effects of excessive inflammation. By silencing LAMP2A or HSCA8, we observed a hindrance in the osteoblast differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in vitro. To further elucidate the role of LAMP2A, we generated LAMP2A gene knockdown and overexpression of mouse BMSCs (mBMSCs) using adenovirus. Our results showed that LAMP2A knockdown led to a decrease in osteogenic-specific proteins, while LAMP2A overexpression favored the osteogenesis of mBMSCs. Notably, active-β-catenin levels were upregulated by LAMP2A overexpression. Furthermore, we found that LAMP2A overexpression effectively protected the osteogenesis of mBMSCs from TNF-α, through the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway. Additionally, LAMP2A overexpression significantly inhibited osteoclast hyperactivity induced by TNF-α. Finally, in a murine bone defect model, we demonstrated that controlled release of LAMP2A overexpression adenovirus by alginate sodium capsule efficiently protected bone healing from inflammation, as confirmed by imaging and histological analyses. Collectively, our findings suggest that enhancing CMA has the potential to safeguard bone formation while mitigating hyperactivity in bone absorption.
