description: The BCL2 interacting protein 3-like (BNIP3L) protein is involved in multiple myeloma (MM) development and progression. This study aims to explore the connection between BNIP3L single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and MM. SNaPshot was used to examine six SNP loci of the BNIP3L gene in enrolled subjects. The relationship between these loci and MM susceptibility and prognosis was explored. Survival analysis was used to evaluate the impact of different factors on patient survival. The rs2874670 AA genotype and A allele were associated with increased MM risk (P < 0.05). The CCACAC haplotype had a higher frequency in MM, while CCGCAC had a higher frequency in normal patients (all P < 0.05). Patients with R-ISS stage I and II had higher survival rates than those with stage III (P < 0.05). Patients, who received chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation, had longer survival time than those who only received chemotherapy (P < 0.05). Low levels of LDH and β2-MG were associated with better survival rates (P < 0.05). Cox regression identified that LDH levels, β2-MG levels, and R-ISS staging were the risk factors for the death of MM. Mann-Whitney U test found a significant difference in survival time between MM patients with different BNIP3L rs2874670 genotypes after BD chemotherapy (P < 0.05). To our knowledge, this is the first study to find that BNIP3L rs2874670 could increase MM susceptibility in China. Different BNIP3L rs2874670 genotypes may affect the prognosis of MM patients receiving BD chemotherapy.

description: Data on the prevalence of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) in China are very limited. Our aim was to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of MGUS in a large Chinese population. This study included 49,220 healthy people who received serum immunofixation electrophoresis (sIFE) and serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) tests. Serum free light chain ratio, immunoglobulin quantification, and other clinically correlates of MGUS were performed for all patients with M-protein. A total of 576 MGUS patients were identified by sIFE, with a median age of 58 years and an overall prevalence of 1.17% (95% CI, 1.08–1.27). Among those aged 50 years and older, the prevalence of MGUS was 2.26% (95% CI, 2.04–2.50). The prevalence of MGUS was significantly higher in males than in females (P < 0.05). The median concentration of M-protein was 3.1 g/L, ranging from 0.5 g/L to 25.1 g/L. The M-protein type was IgG in 55.4% of MGUS patients, followed by IgA (31.1%), IgM (9.5%), IgD (0.5%), biclonal (2.3%), and light chain (1.2%). Abnormalities in SPE, FLC ratios, and immunoglobulin levels were observed in 78.3%, 31.1%, and 38.4% of MGUS patients, respectively. The prevalence of MGUS is substantially lower in southern China than in whites and blacks.

description: TP53 gene mutation is crucial in determining the prognosis of Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients. Understanding metabolic genes linked to TP53 mutation is vital for developing targeted therapies for these patients. We analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset to identify genes related to TP53 mutation and metabolism. Using univariate Cox regression and protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis, we identified key genes. We categorized patients into high and low metabolism groups via non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) clustering, which led to the discovery of relevant differential genes. Integrating these with genes from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and PPI interactions, we pinpointed crucial metabolic genes associated with TP53 mutation in MM. Additionally, we conducted prognostic analyses involving survival curves and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) charts. Our study reveals that the metabolic gene ribonucleotide reductase M2 (RRM2), linked to TP53 mutation, correlates positively with the International Staging System (ISS) stage in MM patients and is an independent prognostic risk factor. In the TCGA dataset, among the 767 patients, the 35 MM patients with TP53 mutation generally had poor survival outcomes. Specifically, the patients with both TP53 mutation and high RRM2 expression had a 2-year survival rate of only 38.87%, whereas those with normal TP53 function and low RRM2 expression had a 2-year survival rate of 86.31% (p < 0.001). RRM2 significantly impacts MM prognosis and is associated with TP53 mutation, presenting itself as a potential therapeutic target and prognostic marker for MM.

description: This study aimed to compile bioinformatic and experimental information for JAK2 missense variants previously reported in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and determine if germline JAK2-I724T, recently found to be common in New Zealand Polynesians, associates with MPN. For all JAK2 variants found in the literature, gnomAD_exome allele frequencies were extracted and REVEL scores were calculated using the dbNSFP database. We investigated the prevalence of JAK2-I724T in a cohort of 111 New Zealand MPN patients using a TaqMan assay, examined its allelic co-occurrence with JAK2-V617F using Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and modelled the impact of I724T on JAK2 using I-Mutant and ChimeraX software. Several non-V617F JAK2 variants previously reported in MPN had REVEL scores greater than 0.5, suggesting pathogenicity. JAK2-I724T (REVEL score 0.753) was more common in New Zealand Polynesian MPN patients (n = 2/27; 7.4%) than in other New Zealand patients (n = 0/84; 0%) but less common than expected for healthy Polynesians (n = 56/377; 14.9%). Patients carrying I724T (n = 2), one with polycythaemia vera and one with essential thrombocythaemia, had high-risk MPN. Both patients with JAK2-I724T were also positive for JAK2-V617F, found on the same allele as I724T, as well as separately. In silico modelling did not identify noticeable structural changes that would give JAK2-I724T a gain-of-function. Several non-canonical JAK2 variants with high REVEL scores have been reported in MPN, highlighting the need to further understand their relationship with disease. The JAK2-I724T variant does not drive MPN, but additional investigations are required to exclude any potential modulatory effect on the MPN phenotype.

description: In patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), additional chromosomal abnormalities (ACAs) are prognostic indicators. However, the clinical features of ACAs were not systematically reported in Chinese patients. Therefore, we enrolled a large cohort of APLs to demonstrate the clinical characteristics and prognostic value of ACAs. 268 patients with newly diagnosed APL with t(15;17)(q24;q21) were retrospectively enrolled, and their clinical characteristics and the predictive value of ACAs were assessed between patients with the presence and absence of ACAs. APL patients with and without ACAs did not differ significantly in their clinical features or treatment response and clinical outcomes like overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). It appeared to be substantially associated with worse OS in APL patients with trisomy 8, which was the most common ACA, although DFS was unaffected. Interestingly, the presence of ACAs or trisomy 8 affected OS and DFS in the subgroup of patients aged ≥60 years; by contrast, ACAs had no effect on OS or DFS in any treatment subgroup (ATRA + ATO/RIF or ATRA + ATO/RIF + CH or ATRA + CH), except for the ATRA + ATO/RIF + CH treatment subgroup, where their impact on DFS was less favorable. Our results suggested that OS and DFS were unaffected by ACAs. Nonetheless, in the subgroup of patients older than 60, the existence of ACAs or trisomy 8 appeared to impact OS and DFS negatively. Individuals with t(15;17) alone had a higher DFS and were more susceptible to ATRA + ATO/RIF + CH than individuals with t(15;17) ACAs.
INVESTIGATING THE INFLUENCE OF EFFLUX PUMP INHIBITORS ON BIOFILM FORMATION, ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE AND LIPID BIOSYNTHESIS IN MYCOBACTERIUM ABSCESSUS

description: Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) is a type of mycobacterium that is known for its remarkable resistance to a variety of antibiotics. This pathogen poses a significant risk for individuals with weakened immune systems as it can cause skin and soft tissue infections, pulmonary disease and disseminated infections. Mab's ability to expel antibiotics through efflux pumps and form strong biofilms makes it even more challenging to treat infections. Lipids form a major part of the extracellular matrix of Mab biofilms. Efflux pumps have been shown to export lipids to the cell surface. Despite ongoing research into Mab's antibiotic tolerance, there is still much to learn about the impact of efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) on antibiotic resistance and lipid biosynthesis during biofilm development in Mab. In this study, we investigated the impact of the EPIs; CCCP (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone), piperine (PIP), reserpine (RES), berberine (BER), and verapamil (VER) on efflux activity, biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance, and lipid biosynthesis in Mab during planktonic and biofilm growth conditions. We found that Mab cells had a higher tolerance to EPIs in biofilm-stimulating medium and that the presence of EPIs led to a decrease in minimum inhibitory concentrations of frontline antibiotics, reduced efflux activity within Mab cells, and significantly inhibited biofilm formation. We examined the effects of EPIs that inhibited biofilm formation on lipid metabolism in Mab using radiolabeling with 14C?palmitic acid and 14C-acetic acid which are precursors of lipid biosynthesis. We observed that the EPI berberine inhibited the incorporation of 14C-palmitic acid into glycopeptidolipids in the surface lipids of planktonic cells and increased cellular glycopeptidolipid (GPL) in biofilm cells. Verapamil-treated cells showed a 55 % increase in cellular trehalose monomycolate (TMM) compared to controls. Piperine-treated cells exhibited a 50 % increase in cardiolipin. The incorporation of 14C-acetate into biofilm cells showed that piperine-treated biofilm cells showed a 146 % increase in surface glycopeptidolipids. Overall, our study enhances our understanding of lipid biosynthesis in Mab, the effects of EPIs on Mab biofilms, efflux mechanisms, and antibiotic resistance and offers insights for combating Mab-related infections.

description: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are an aggressive group of mature T-cell neoplasms, often associated with poor outcomes, in part, due to frequent relapsed/refractory disease. The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of disease progression within 24 months (POD24) on overall survival (OS) for patients diagnosed with PTCL. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of patients with newly diagnosed PTCL who underwent chemotherapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between January 2010 and September 2021. Prognostic assessment was limited to patients who were evaluable for POD24. Records were reviewed for 106 patients with PTCL, of whom 66 patients experienced POD24 (referred to as the POD24 group) and 40 patients did not experience POD24 (referred to as the no POD24 group). Significant differences were observed between the POD24 group and the no POD24 group in regard to clinical stage, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels, prealbumin and albumin levels. Patients in the POD24 group had a significant shorter median OS compared to the no POD24 group (11.9 months vs not reached, respectively; P < 0.001). Non response (NR) to treatment and POD24 were identified as independent negative prognostic factors for survival in patients with PTCL. POD24 is a prognostic factor associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients with PTCL and can be used to identify high-risk patients and guide treatment decisions.

description: At tripartite synapses, astrocytes are in close contact with neurons and contribute to various functions, from synaptic transmission, maintenance of ion homeostasis and glutamate uptake to metabolism. However, disentangling the precise contribution of astrocytes to those phenomena and the underlying biochemical mechanisms is remarkably challenging. This notably results from their highly ramified morphology, the nanoscopic size of the majority of astrocyte processes, and the poorly understood information encoded by their spatiotemporally diverse calcium signals. This book chapter presents selected computational models of the involvement of astrocytes in glutamatergic transmission. The goal of this chapter is to present representative models of astrocyte function in conjunction with the biological questions they can investigate.

description: In recent years, the rapid development of large-scale models has made new possibilities for interdisciplinary fields such as architecture. In this paper, we present a novel daylight-driven AI-aided architectural design method. Firstly, we formulate a method for generating massing models, producing architectural massing models using random parameters quickly. Subsequently, we integrate a daylight-driven facade design strategy, accurately determining window layouts and applying them to the massing models. Finally, we seamlessly combine a large-scale language model with a text-to-image model, enhancing the efficiency of generating visual architectural design renderings. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach supports architects' creative inspirations and pioneers novel avenues for architectural design development.

description: The paper focuses on an important dimension of donor aid allocation, which has largely been neglected in the empirical literature: the need orientation of donors when deciding on the sectoral composition of their recipient country portfolios. Employing sector-specific need indicators in logit and zero-one inflated beta estimations our results show that the degree of need orientation of donors depends on the sector. While in the sectors of governance, transport, environment protection, sexually transmitted diseases control including HIV/AIDS and emergency response, the analysis clearly points to a need-based allocation of resources, it is striking that need considerations seem not to play a role in the health and water and sanitation sectors. Remarkably, we find evidence for donor coordination within countries, in that donors took other donors’ sector activities into account when deciding on the sectoral composition of their country portfolios.

description: This discussion paper examines how private capital can be mobilised for sustainable infrastructure, with particular reference to the newly created Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the New Development Bank (NDB), also known as the BRICS Bank. These banks are an important addition to the development finance architecture. The paper provides an overview of how development banks can mitigate the global investment gap in the area of sustainable infrastructure through targeted lending and various financial instruments. The paper builds on the experiences of the European Investment Bank – as well as multilateral and other regional and national development banks – to draw possible lessons for the AIIB and the NDB. In particular, various instruments for mobilising private capital that complement the traditional credit financing of ecologically sustainable infrastructure are examined. Although environmentally sustainable infrastructure is currently not always the most cost-effective option in many countries, it is important to make the right investment decisions now, as investments in infrastructure projects are locked-in for the long term; this applies, in particular, to renewable energy projects with their long lifecycles. Targeted financing by development banks allows for the realisation of projects that are currently not attractive enough for financing from private investors alone, and helps to avoid a long-term commitment of capital to non-sustainable infrastructure. Mechanisms presented to support environmentally sustainable infrastructure investments include the application of shadow carbon prices, the European Investment Bank’s Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund, and the Co-Lending Portfolio Programme, which is managed by the International Finance Corporation. This discussion paper is based not only on the authors’ literature and experiences to date, but also on a large number of personal interviews with senior executives held in Luxembourg, Washington, DC, London and (by telephone) Paris.

Action Formalism for Measurement Induced Dynamics: Topological and Thermal Aspects
Creators: name: Shea, Dominic
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Feynman’s path integral is a formulation of quantum mechanics akin to
 analogous formulations developed for stochastic processes and statistical
 physics. One process that combines quantum dynamics with stochastic
 features and constitutes a prevailing area of research is quantum
 measurement. Beyond past attempts, recent advancements, exemplified by the
 Chantasari-Dressel-Jordan (CDJ) method, explore measurement-induced
 dynamics in continuously monitored quantum systems.

 This thesis utilises the CDJ path integral to explore new emerging
 features

 associated with measurement-induced dynamics. Firstly, we develop the CDJ
 path

 integral to analyse geometric phases. Focusing on self-closing
 trajectories from

 continuous measurements, we incorporate geometric phase information
 directly in the path integral for a single qubit and demonstrate that the
 geometric phase of the most likely trajectories exhibits a topological
 transition as a function of measurement strength. We further address the
 effect of Gaussian fluctuations.

 Secondly, we exploit the formalism to study measurement-induced
 entanglement

 dynamics, where we combine the stochastic effect of measurements and that
 of

 local unitary noise. We identify the optimal entanglement dynamics and
 develop

 diagrammatic methods that produce a closed-form approximation of the
 average entanglement dynamics. The optimal trajectories and diagrammatic
 expansion capture the oscillations of entanglement at short times. We find
 by numerical investigation that long-time steady-state entanglement
 reveals a non-monotonic relationship between concurrence and noise
 strength.

 Finally, we lay the basis for applying path integrals to fluctuation
 theorems by

 devising a suitable single qubit protocol to verify a recently proposed
 fluctuation

 theorem that governs the statistical behaviour of quantum systems far from
 equilibrium. The proposed protocol is suitable for existing quantum
 architectures.

 Our results provide a basis for extending the use of fluctuation theorems
 to many body systems, where geometric phases and entanglement play crucial
 roles in classifying quantum order.
