An Autophagy-related Long Non-coding RNA Signature for Breast
Cancer
Authors: Wang Jimei , Jiang Feng , Wu Chuyan , Wang Ming , Wei Ke
Published: June 2021

Background:

The most prevalent malignant tumor in women is breast cancer (BC). As
autophagic therapies have been identified to contribute to BC cell death, the potential prognostic
role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) related to autophagy in patients with BC was examined.

Methods:

The lncRNAs expression profiles were derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)
database. Throughout univariate Cox regression and multivariate Cox regression test, lncRNA with
BC prognosis have been differentially presented. We then defined the optimal cut-off point
between high and low-risk groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn
to test this signature. In order to examine possible signaling mechanisms linked to these lncRNAs,
the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) has been carried out.

Results:

Based on the lncRNA expression profiles for BC, a 9 lncRNA signature associated with
autophagy was developed. The optimal cut-off value for high-risk and low-risk groups was used.
The high-risk group had less survival time than the low-risk group. The result of this lncRNA
signature was highly sensitive and precise. GSEA study found that the gene sets have been greatly
enriched in many cancer pathways.

Conclusions:

Our signature of 9 lncRNAs related to autophagy has prognostic value for BC, and
these lncRNAs related to autophagy may play an important role in BC biology.

The Role of Biotransformation in the Activity of Endocrine Disruptors
Authors: Erguc Elif I. , Tascioglu-Aliyev Alev , Entezari Bita , Gurer-Orhan Hande
Published: June 2021

An “endocrine disruptor” has been broadly defined as an exogenous chemical that interferes with the
production, release, transportation, metabolism, binding, action, or the elimination of endogenous hormones, which
are responsible for homeostasis, reproduction, development or behaviour. Diverse groups of chemicals such as pharmaceuticals,
phytoestrogens, natural hormones, and synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, plasticizers, phthalates,
parabens, polychlorinated/polybrominated biphenyls, bisphenols are shown to interfere with the endocrine system,
and they have been defined as EDs in the last three decades.

As for all chemicals, the biotransformation of EDs has a decisive role in their potential toxic effects. Humans are
exposed to vast amounts of diverse chemicals throughout their lives. Fortunately, most of the chemicals are converted
via biotransformation reactions catalyzed by the enzymes, into more hydrophilic metabolites, which are readily
excreted in urine or bile. Biotransformation reactions resulting in less toxic metabolites are known as detoxification.
However, some biotransformation reactions are called bioactivation, in which more toxic metabolites are
formed. In the case of EDs, metabolites formed via bioactivation usually have a higher affinity for a hormone receptor
or induce/inhibit an enzyme involved in the synthesis or catabolism of an endogenous hormone more dramatically
compared to their parent compound. In the present review, the role of bioactivation in endocrine modulating effects
of chemicals from all groups of EDs, namely endogenous estrogens, phytoestrogens, synthetic/industrial chemicals,
and pharmaceuticals it can be were discussed.

Published: June 2021

Synthetic plastic waste management is a tenacious environmental concern at global level.
Although all types of synthetic plastics are a nuisance to the environment, however, versatility and one
time use has made polyethylene (PE) a foremost environmental issue. Current study has investigated
cavern bacterial strains isolated from PE samples from San Giovanni cave, Sardinia, Italy for their
efficacy to biodegrade low density polyethylene (LDPE) film. It was an initial effort to use cavern
bacteria in plastic biodegradation studies. Chemical and physical changes in the composition of LDPE
were studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) after incubation with the bacterial consortium for two months. Collected cavern PE plastic
samples were also studied for biodegradation after incubation in nutrient broth for two months. FTIR
revealed obvious signs of degradation with the appearance of two new peaks of functional groups,
nitriles (C≡N) and amines (N-H) in LDPE film, which are intermediate metabolites of β-oxidation
pathway. An increase in various existing peaks of several intermediate metabolites, including
aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, and carboxylic acids, were also observed in experimental LDPE
compared to control. Peaks of alkanes decreased significantly owing to cavern bacterial activity. SEM
revealed biofilm formation on experimental LDPE surface with substantial mechanical damage.
Similar signs of degradation were observed in the cavern PE samples. Four bacterial strains in the
current consortium including Bacillus sonorensis, Bacillus subtilis, Aneurinibacillus spp., and
Alcaligenes faecalis are first time reported to be linked with biodegradation of plastics. The cavern
bacteria under study have the potential to biodegrade LDPE.

Published: June 2021

Este escrito analiza la aplicación en Colombia de la normativa de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) en el marco de los pronunciamientos de la Corte Constitucional en la sentencia C-750 y C-751 de 2008 que al correlacionarlos con la doctrina, –especialmente– de Norberto Bobbio y Luigi Ferrajoli, da pie para formular la tesis de la crisis del Estado frente al fortalecimiento de lo privado. Es evidente que el derecho internacional público ha ido cediendo espacio ante el derecho internacional privado; este presupuesto se haya en el análisis de la cláusula veintiuno del TLC firmado por Colombia con los Estados Unidos, la cual se opone a la Constitución Política, en particular a los artículos 2, 9, 13, 29, 116, 226, 227 y 228; no obstante que la Corte Constitucional en el examen de control de constitucionalidad declarará la exequibilidad de la ley que aprueba dicho tratado. Mientras que para el caso de aplicación en Colombia de la normativa de la OMC se abre el debate en el que se plantean alternativas novedosas para alcanzar nuevos desarrollos en el derecho que permitan fortalecer la esfera de lo público.

Los Usos Del Territorio Rural: Alimentos, Poder y Dieta en el Agro Pampeano a Comienzos Del Siglo XXI
Authors: Blacha Luis Ernesto
Published: June 2021

A mediados de la década de 1990 se inicia en Argentina una transición en las cadenas agroalimentarias que amplía la distancia entre productores y consumidores e incrementa la capacidad de decisión que tienen quienes median entre ellos: las grandes empresas transnacionales de alimentos. Se implementan, en consecuencia, nuevos usos del territorio, que en el caso pampeano significa la implementación de la agricultura industrializada bajo la forma de monocultivo en tierras tradicionalmente vinculadas a la ganadería. El resultado es una importante pérdida de nutrientes en los alimentos, tanto por el riego intensivo involucrado en su producción como en la estandarización que imponen las cadenas agroalimentarias de distribución que también incluye el forraje para el ganado. Hay una degradación nutricional de los alimentos en una población donde el sobrepeso y la obesidad cobran importancia entre las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles. Se propone analizar la capacidad explicativa del territorio para reconstruir estos procesos de las cadenas agroalimentarias y su impacto en la dieta.
Evaluating Community-Facing Virtual Modalities to Support Complex Neurological Populations During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Brehon Katelyn , Carriere Jay , Churchill Katie , Loyola-Sanchez Adalberto , O'Connell Petra , Papathanassoglou Elisavet , MacIsaac Rob , Tavakoli Mahdi , Ho Chester , Pohar Manhas Kiran
Published: June 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic and concomitant governmental responses have created the need for innovative and collaborative approaches to deliver services, especially for populations that have been inequitably affected. In Alberta, Canada, two novel approaches were created in Spring 2020 to remotely support patients with complex neurological conditions and rehabilitation needs. The first approach is a telehealth service that provides wayfinding and self-management advice to Albertans with physical concerns related to existing neurological or musculoskeletal conditions or post-COVID-19 recovery needs. The second approach is a webinar series aimed at supporting self-management and social connectedness of individuals living with spinal cord injury.

Objective

The study aims to evaluate the short- and long-term impacts and sustainability of two virtual modalities (telehealth initiative called Rehabilitation Advice Line [RAL] and webinar series called Alberta Spinal Cord Injury Community Interactive Learning Seminars [AB-SCILS]) aimed at advancing self-management, connectedness, and rehabilitation needs during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

Methods

We will use a mixed-methods evaluation approach. Evaluation of the approaches will include one-on-one semistructured interviews and surveys. The evaluation of the telehealth initiative will include secondary data analyses and analysis of call data using artificial intelligence. The evaluation of the webinar series will include analysis of poll questions collected during the webinars and YouTube analytics data.

Results

The proposed study describes unique pandemic virtual modalities and our approaches to evaluating them to ensure effectiveness and sustainability. Implementing and evaluating these virtual modalities synchronously allows for the building of knowledge on the complementarity of these methods. At the time of submission, we have completed qualitative and quantitative data collection for the telehealth evaluation. For the webinar series, so far, we have distributed the evaluation survey following three webinars and have conducted five attendee interviews.

Conclusions

Understanding the impact and sustainability of the proposed telehealth modalities is important. The results of the evaluation will provide data that can be actioned and serve to improve other telehealth modalities in the future, since health systems need this information to make decisions on resource allocation, especially in an uncertain pandemic climate. Evaluating the RAL and AB-SCILS to ensure their effectiveness demonstrates that Alberta Health Services and the health system care about ensuring the best practice even after a shift to primarily virtual care.

Authors: Lee Jewel Y , Molani Sevda , Fang Chen , Jade Kathleen , O'Mahony D Shane , Kornilov Sergey A , Mico Lindsay T , Hadlock Jennifer J
Published: June 2021

Background

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can rapidly lead to organ damage and death. Existing risk scores predict outcomes for patients who have already become acutely ill.

Objective

We aimed to develop a model for identifying patients at risk of getting sepsis within 2 years in order to support the reduction of sepsis morbidity and mortality.

Methods

Machine learning was applied to 2,683,049 electronic health records (EHRs) with over 64 million encounters across five states to develop models for predicting a patient’s risk of getting sepsis within 2 years. Features were selected to be easily obtainable from a patient’s chart in real time during ambulatory encounters.

Results

The models showed consistent prediction scores, with the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82 and a positive likelihood ratio of 2.9 achieved with gradient boosting on all features combined. Predictive features included age, sex, ethnicity, average ambulatory heart rate, standard deviation of BMI, and the number of prior medical conditions and procedures. The findings identified both known and potential new risk factors for long-term sepsis. Model variations also illustrated trade-offs between incrementally higher accuracy, implementability, and interpretability.

Conclusions

Accurate implementable models were developed to predict the 2-year risk of sepsis, using EHR data that is easy to obtain from ambulatory encounters. These results help advance the understanding of sepsis and provide a foundation for future trials of risk-informed preventive care.

Authors: Rothmann Mette Juel , Mouritsen Julie Drotner , Ladefoged Nanna Skov , Jeppesen Marie Nedergaard , Lillevang Anna Sofie , Laustrup Helle , Ellingsen Torkell
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Video consultation is increasingly used in different health care settings to reach patients. However, little is known about telehealth in psychological counselling for vulnerable patients with somatic and chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to develop and pilot test a telepsychology module for inclusion in the app My Hospital (Mit Sygehus) to provide remote psychological counselling to vulnerable adults with either rheumatic diseases or diabetes.

METHODS

With inspiration from participatory design, the content of the telepsychology module was developed through user involvement and evaluated by individual interviews with patients and psychologists as well as questionnaires.

RESULTS

We developed a module with our patient partners that targeted patients with rheumatic diseases and diabetes in relation to the psychological challenges of living with chronic diseases. The module included information, tools, exercises, and videoconferencing. In total, 16 patients and 3 psychologists participated in the pilot test. Psychological counselling was described by 4 themes: “The good relation despite physical distance,” “The comfort of being at home,” “The pros of saving time on transport and energy,” and “A therapeutic alliance at a distance.”

CONCLUSIONS

Psychological counselling in relation to somatic care can be provided by videoconferencing supported by web-based or mobile delivery of tailored information, tools, and exercises without compromising on the quality of care. To ensure a good alliance between the patient and psychologist, a first face-to-face meeting is important. The home location provided patients with a safe environment and increased accessibility and reduced travel time to the hospital.
Shift in Social Media App Usage During COVID-19 Lockdown and Clinical Anxiety Symptoms: Machine Learning–Based Ecological Momentary Assessment Study (Preprint)
Authors: Ryu Jihan , Sükei Emese , Norbury Agnes , H Liu Shelley , Campaña-Montes Juan José , Baca-Garcia Enrique , Artés Antonio , Perez-Rodriguez M Mercedes
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Anxiety symptoms during public health crises are associated with adverse psychiatric outcomes and impaired health decision-making. The interaction between real-time social media use patterns and clinical anxiety during infectious disease outbreaks is underexplored.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to evaluate the usage pattern of 2 types of social media apps (communication and social networking) among patients in outpatient psychiatric treatment during the COVID-19 surge and lockdown in Madrid, Spain and their short-term anxiety symptoms (7-item General Anxiety Disorder scale) at clinical follow-up.

METHODS

The individual-level shifts in median social media usage behavior from February 1 through May 3, 2020 were summarized using repeated measures analysis of variance that accounted for the fixed effects of the lockdown (prelockdown versus postlockdown), group (clinical anxiety group versus nonclinical anxiety group), the interaction of lockdown and group, and random effects of users. A machine learning–based approach that combined a hidden Markov model and logistic regression was applied to predict clinical anxiety (n=44) and nonclinical anxiety (n=51), based on longitudinal time-series data that comprised communication and social networking app usage (in seconds) as well as anxiety-associated clinical survey variables, including the presence of an essential worker in the household, worries about life instability, changes in social interaction frequency during the lockdown, cohabitation status, and health status.

RESULTS

Individual-level analysis of daily social media usage showed that the increase in communication app usage from prelockdown to lockdown period was significantly smaller in the clinical anxiety group than that in the nonclinical anxiety group (F1,72=3.84, P=.05). The machine learning model achieved a mean accuracy of 62.30% (SD 16%) and area under the receiver operating curve 0.70 (SD 0.19) in 10-fold cross-validation in identifying the clinical anxiety group.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients who reported severe anxiety symptoms were less active in communication apps after the mandated lockdown and more engaged in social networking apps in the overall period, which suggested that there was a different pattern of digital social behavior for adapting to the crisis. Predictive modeling using digital biomarkers—passive-sensing of shifts in category-based social media app usage during the lockdown—can identify individuals at risk for psychiatric sequelae.

Published: June 2021

Background and objectives

There is concern about potential deleterious effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients with kidney failure, who often use ACEis/ARBs, are at higher risk of more severe COVID-19. However, there are no data available on the association of ACEi/ARB use with COVID-19 severity in this population.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

From the European Renal Association COVID-19 database (ERACODA), we retrieved data on kidney transplant recipients and patients on dialysis who were affected by COVID-19, between February 1 and October 1, 2020, and had information on 28-day mortality. We used Cox proportional-hazards regression to calculate hazard ratios for the association between ACEi/ARB use and 28-day mortality risk. Additionally, we studied the association of discontinuation of these agents with 28-day mortality.

Results

We evaluated 1511 patients: 459 kidney transplant recipients and 1052 patients on dialysis. At diagnosis of COVID-19, 189 (41%) of the transplant recipients and 288 (27%) of the patients on dialysis were on ACEis/ARBs. A total of 88 (19%) transplant recipients and 244 (23%) patients on dialysis died within 28 days of initial presentation. In both groups of patients, there was no association between ACEi/ARB use and 28-day mortality in both crude and adjusted models (in transplant recipients, adjusted hazard ratio, 1.12; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.69 to 1.83; in patients on dialysis, adjusted hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.73 to 1.47). Among transplant recipients, ACEi/ARB discontinuation was associated with a higher mortality risk after adjustment for demographics and comorbidities, but the association was no longer statistically significant after adjustment for severity of COVID-19 (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.40 to 4.58). Among patients on dialysis, ACEi/ARB discontinuation was not associated with mortality in any model. We obtained similar results across subgroups when ACEis and ARBs were studied separately, and when other outcomes for severity of COVID-19 were studied, e.g., hospital admission, admission to the intensive care unit, or need for ventilator support.

Conclusions

Among kidney transplant recipients and patients on dialysis with COVID-19, there was no significant association of ACEi/ARB use or discontinuation with mortality.
