Analysis of lymphocytic infiltration in uveal melanoma.

Among 27 uveal melanomas, five were found to contain tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Four had high levels of lymphocytes, and the fifth had comparatively low levels but adequate numbers for comprehensive analysis. The TILs were analyzed by flow cytometry to determine the relative proportions of lymphocyte subsets and markers of lymphocyte activation. The results show the predominance of T-suppressor/cytotoxic lymphocytes and insignificant levels of B-cells present in the infiltrate. The T-suppressor/cytotoxic cells were generally activated to a higher degree than the T-helper cells when assayed for levels of the histocompatibility antigen, HLA-DR. T-helper cells expressed more interleukin (IL-2) receptor (Tac) than T-suppressor/cytotoxic cells.

Atopic dermatitis and the risk of osteoporosis and fractures: a meta-analysis of cohort studies.

BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) by synthesizing data from cohort studies. We also provide a comprehensive analysis of fracture risks across different severities of AD and anatomical sites. METHODS: Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to May 30, 2025. Studies that investigated the relationship between AD and osteoporosis or fractures were included in the analysis. Data extraction and screening were performed independently by two reviewers. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). A random-effects meta-analysis was applied, alongside sensitivity and subgroup analyses. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots and Egger's test. RESULTS: Ten cohort studies, involving 368 to over 2 million AD patients, were included. NOS scores ranged from 7 to 8, indicating generally high study quality. The pooled analysis revealed a 56% increased risk of osteoporosis (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.14-2.13; I2 = 99.9%, p < 0.0001) and an 8% increased risk of all-cause fractures (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.05-1.10; I2 = 82.1%, p < 0.0001) in AD patients. Subgroup analyses demonstrated a progressive increase in fracture risk with the severity of AD. Specific risks were significantly higher for vertebral fractures (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.08-1.20; I2 = 67.3%, p = 0.009) and lower limb fractures (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.08-1.13; I2 = 65.0%, p = 0.014). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings, and no significant publication bias was detected (p = 0.316). CONCLUSION: AD is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures, particularly among patients with severe AD and those experiencing vertebral or lower limb fractures. These findings highlight the importance of targeted bone health monitoring in the clinical management of AD patients.Registration: (PROSPERO: CRD420251066550).

Comparative analysis of DREB gene family in buckwheat: the role of FtDREB02 in the delphinidin biosynthesis and drought stress response.

Dehydration response element binding (DREB) transcription factors play a pivotal role in plant abiotic stress responses, but its evolutionary and functional characterization in buckwheat remains unexplored. Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the DREB gene family across three buckwheat species, revealing segmental duplication as the primary driver of family expansion and potential purifying selection during evolution. A FtDREB02 gene, classified as group A2, was identified through genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) on drought tolerance and delphinidin content. Functional validation in Arabidopsis thaliana and the hairy root of Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) demonstrated that overexpression of this gene promotes delphinidin biosynthesis and enhances plant resistance to water scarcity. Through the integration of DAP-seq and PEG transcriptome cluster analysis, a FtANS candidate was screened. Functional studies showed that FtDREB02 regulates delphinidin content by binding directly to DRE elements of the FtANS promoter. This research identifies and comprehensively analyzes the DREB family within buckwheat species, elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of FtDREB02 in controlling flavonoid biosynthesis and drought resistance, providing potential genetic resources for breeding buckwheat varieties with excellent agronomic traits.

EXAFS studies of the isolated bovine heart Rieske [2Fe-2S]1+(1+,2+) cluster.

Recently the involvement of one or, more likely, two nitrogen-ligands in the Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] cluster has been reported based on the chemical assay and various spectroscopic analyses, such as EPR, Mössbauer, ENDOR, and resonance Raman, of isolated Thermus thermophilus HB-8 protein by Fee and his collaborators. Similarly, the presence of at least one nitrogen ligand was shown in the mitochondrial Rieske [2Fe-2S] cluster. We have conducted EXAFS studies of the Rieske [2Fe-2S] protein isolated from the cytochrome bc1 complex of bovine heart mitochondria. Standard analysis could not distinguish one or two nitrogen ligands per cluster. However, one nitrogen and three cysteine ligands per cluster was found to be, possibly, a better solution in more comprehensive analysis procedures.

Metagenome-based diversity and functional analysis of culturable microbes in sugarcane.

UNLABELLED: Sugarcane is a key crop for sugar and energy production, and understanding the diversity of its associated microbes is crucial for optimizing its growth and health. However, there is a lack of thorough investigation and use of microbial resources in sugarcane. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of culturable microbes and their functional features in different tissues and rhizosphere soil of four diverse sugarcane species using metagenomics techniques. The results revealed significant microbial diversity in sugarcane's tissues and rhizosphere soil, including several important biomarker bacterial taxa identified, which are reported to engage in several processes that support plant growth, such as nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and the production of plant hormones. The Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) studies identified unique microbial communities in different parts of the same sugarcane species, particularly Burkholderia, which exhibited significant variations across the sugarcane species. Microbial analysis of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) indicated that genes related to sucrose metabolism were mostly present in specific bacterial taxa, including Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, Paraburkholderia, and Chryseobacterium. This study improves understanding of the diversities and functions of endophytes and rhizosphere soil microbes in sugarcane. Moreover, the approaches and findings of this study provide valuable insights for microbiome research and the use of comparable technologies in other agricultural fields. IMPORTANCE: This work utilized metagenomics techniques for conducting a comprehensive examination of culturable microbes and their functional characteristics in various tissues and rhizosphere soil of four distinct sugarcane species. This study enhances comprehension of the diversity and functions of endophytes and rhizosphere soil microbes in sugarcane. Furthermore, the methodologies and discoveries of this work offer new perspectives for microbiome investigation and the use of similar technologies in other agricultural fields.

Epidemiologic studies demonstrating increased morning incidence of sudden cardiac death.

To determine if sudden cardiac death shows a circadian variation, the mortality records of the Massachusetts population and the Framingham Heart Study were analyzed. The Massachusetts mortality data analysis revealed an increased morning incidence for out-of-hospital cardiac deaths similar to that previously described for nonfatal myocardial infarction. The records of the Framingham Heart Study allowed more comprehensive analysis of the time of sudden cardiac death. In this study, a prominent circadian variation was also identified in which frequency of sudden cardiac death increased sharply between 6 A.M. and 9 P.M.; distribution was fairly even throughout the rest of the day. This circadian pattern may be explained in part by physiologic changes that increase the likelihood of ventricular fibrillation or increase the risk of thrombosis in the morning hours. The possible role of the morning increase in physical and mental activity as a trigger of sudden cardiac death requires further investigation.

Identification of Freezing-Responsive microRNAs and Their Targets in Chinese Jujube by Small RNA and Degradome Sequencing.

The jujube tree fruit remains a primary fruit in northern China, yet its geographical distribution and yield are significantly constrained by freezing stress during winter. Numerous studies have highlighted the pivotal regulatory function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in plant responses to low-temperature stress. Nevertheless, the specific miRNAs involved in the response to low temperatures and their associated gene networks in Ziziphus jujuba Mill are not well understood. In this investigation, we utilized high-throughput sequencing to analyze small RNA libraries from branches subjected to temperatures of 4 °C and -30 °C. Our analysis identified a total of 342 miRNAs, comprising 123 known miRNAs and 219 novel miRNAs. The differential expression analysis revealed that under low-temperature conditions, 177 miRNAs underwent significant changes. Among them, specific upregulation of miR319 in the less cold-resistant variety and miR6483 in sensitive variety was observed. By employing degradome sequencing, we identified a total of 1551 target genes corresponding to 3059 unique miRNA target interaction pairs involving 299 miRNAs. Functional analysis using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways indicated that these target genes are primarily associated with transcriptional regulation, metabolic pathways, and genetic information processing. Through a comprehensive analysis, we pinpointed 11 genes corresponding to 9 miRNAs that are implicated in jujube tree cold stress, and 7 target genes of 7 miRNAs were confirmed by 5'-RACE analysis. These miRNAs are likely to exert crucial regulatory functions in the context of jujube tree cold stress. This study is the first to systematically identify miRNAs and their target genes in the response of Ziziphus jujuba Mill to low-temperature stress, which provides important resources for in-depth analysis of the molecular mechanism of jujube tree cold resistance and for cold-resistant breeding.

Analysis of angiotensin II receptor subtypes in individual rat brain nuclei.

Previous studies have used new angiotensin II (AII) receptor subtype selective compounds to localize AII receptor subtypes within discrete rat brain nuclei. The purpose of this autoradiographic study was to extend these preliminary findings and provide a comprehensive analysis of AII binding sites in 22 rat brain nuclei and the anterior pituitary, to include estimates of the binding affinity for 125I sar1 ile8 AII (125I SIAII) at each nucleus, and determine the fractional distribution of each subtype at each nucleus. Estimates of KD in separate experiments revealed that AT1 nuclei had a consistently higher affinity for 125I SIAII than AT2 nuclei (0.66 vs. 2.55 nM). Displacement of subsaturating concentrations of 125I SIAII by 10(-8)-10(-4) M DuP753 (selective for the AT1 subtype) or PD123177 (selective for the AT2 subtype) indicated that approximately half of the brain regions surveyed contained predominantly AT1 sites and half contained predominantly AT2 sites. Binding was partially displaced by both compounds in several regions and two site analyses were performed to estimate the distribution of subtypes within each nucleus. The data were then corrected for differential occupancy by 125I SIAII. Brain nuclei associated with cardiovascular or dipsogenic actions of AII, e.g., subfornical organ, organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis, median preoptic nucleus, nucleus of the solitary tract and area postrema, contained pure, or almost pure, populations of AT1 receptors. The functions of AII in brain regions containing predominantly AT2 binding sites, e.g., thalamus, colliculi, inferior olive and locus ceruleus, remain undefined. Thus, AII binding sites in the rat brain have been differentiated into two subtypes with similar characteristics to those reported in peripheral tissues. However, the unexpected finding that they can be differentiated on the basis of their affinity for 125I SIAII raises questions concerning their coidentity with peripheral receptor subtypes.

A genome-wide analysis of the shared genetic risk architecture of complex neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Although neurological and psychiatric disorders have historically been considered to reflect distinct pathogenic entities, recent findings suggest shared pathophysiological mechanisms. However, the extent to which these heritable disorders share genetic influences remains unclear. Here we performed a comprehensive analysis of genome-wide association study data, involving nearly 1 million cases across ten neurological diseases and ten psychiatric disorders, to compare their common genetic signal and biological associations. Using complementary statistical tools, we demonstrate that a large set of common genetic variants impacts the risk of multiple neurological and psychiatric disorders, even in the absence of genetic correlations. Furthermore, genome-wide association studies on psychiatric disorders consistently implicate neuronal biology, whereas neurological diseases are associated with diverse neurobiological processes. Together, this study elucidates the genetic relationship between complex neurological and psychiatric disorders, indicating a larger degree of genetic pleiotropy than previously recognized. The findings have implications for disease classification, precision medicine and clinical practice.

Benchmark for Quantitative Global and Redox Proteomics Analysis by Combining Protein-Aggregation Capture and Data Independent Acquisition.

Oxidative damage plays a critical role in various diseases including cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Thiol redox reactions, acting as oxidative stress sensors, influence protein structure and function. Redox proteomics, based on the differential alkylation of cysteine sites followed by mass spectrometry, enables the comprehensive analysis of thiol redox status in cells and tissues. However, these approaches require extensive sample manipulation and are not compatible with data-independent acquisition techniques. Here, we introduce PACREDOX, an innovative strategy based on protein aggregation capture (PAC), and demonstrate its compatibility with library-free DIA. Compared with traditional methods such as FASILOX, PACREDOX reduces preparation time and costs while maintaining thiol and proteome coverage. To enable library-free DIA, we corrected in silico spectral libraries in DIA-NN using experimental retention time data from methylthiolated-Cys peptides. PACREDOX with DIA was benchmarked against FASILOX in a myocardial infarction model, yielding the same biological insights, while enhancing peptide and protein coverage. Our results underscore the potential and efficiency of this methodology for studying oxidative damage. Overall, PACREDOX offers an automatable, high-throughput, and cost-effective strategy for redox proteomics.

Genetic exchange across a paracentric inversion of the mouse t complex.

Mouse t haplotypes are distinguished from wild-type forms of chromosome 17 by four nonoverlapping paracentric inversions which span a genetic distance of 20 cM. These inversion polymorphisms are responsible for a 100-200-fold suppression of recombination which maintains the integrity of complete t haplotypes and has led to their divergence from the wild-type chromosomes of four species of house mice within which t haplotypes reside. As evidence for the long period of recombinational isolation, alleles that distinguish all t haplotypes from all wild-type chromosomes have been established at a number of loci spread across the 20-cM variant region. However, a more complex picture emerges upon analysis of other t-associated loci. In particular, "mosaic haplotypes" have been identified that carry a mixture of wild-type and t-specific alleles. To investigate the genetic basis for mosaic chromosomes, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of eight t complex loci within 76 animals representing 10 taxa in the genus Mus, and including 23 previously characterized t haplotypes. Higher resolution restriction mapping and sequence analysis was also performed for alleles at the Hba-ps4 locus. The results indicate that a short tract of DNA was transferred relatively recently across an inversion from a t haplotype allele of Hba-ps4 to the corresponding locus on a wild-type homolog leading to the creation of a new hybrid allele. Several classes of wild-type Hba-ps4 alleles, including the most common form in inbred strains, appear to be derived from this hybrid allele. The accumulated data suggest that a common form of genetic exchange across one of the four t-associated inversions is gene conversion at isolated loci that do not play a role in the transmission ratio distortion phenotype required for t haplotype propagation. The implications of the results pose questions concerning the evolutionary stability of gene complexes within large paracentric inversions and suggest that recombinational isolation may be best established for loci residing within a short distance from inversion breakpoints.

Genomic Profiling of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer after Progression on First-line Osimertinib: Phase II ORCHARD Study.

PURPOSE: Osimertinib is the standard of care for first-line treatment for epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Understanding the tumor molecular profile of patients following progression on osimertinib could help inform optimal second-line treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: ORCHARD (NCT03944772), a phase II biomarker-directed study, enrolled patients with EGFRm NSCLC who progressed on first-line osimertinib to receive treatment based on their tumor molecular profile after progression. The study comprised three groups into which patients were allocated based on the molecular profile of their tumor, determined via next-generation sequencing (NGS) of a tumor biopsy. We report results from a prespecified, exploratory analysis of baseline tumor tissue and plasma samples to evaluate mechanisms of resistance to first-line osimertinib identified by tissue and plasma NGS. Agreement between tissue and plasma NGS data was also assessed. RESULTS: This study provided a comprehensive dataset exploring tissue (n = 400) and plasma (n = 191) genomics, enabling characterization of the histogenomic landscape after first-line osimertinib treatment. TP53 and MDM2/4 alterations were mutually exclusive and occurred in 86% of tumors. When combining tissue and plasma genomics, resistance alterations were detected in 87% of samples, with multiple resistance alterations in 46%. Alterations in the PI3K pathway, SOX2, and MYC were frequently detected in histologically transformed tumors. Additionally, differential patterns of co-occurring EGFR mutations in tumors with L858R versus exon 19 deletion were observed. CONCLUSIONS: This comprehensive analysis highlights potential heterogeneous resistance to first-line osimertinib treatment, providing a rationale for combining treatments with broad activity to improve patient outcomes.

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Is Associated With Adverse Social Factors: An Analysis Using All of Us.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is progressive, with estimated global prevalence exceeding 30%. Social determinants of health (SDOH) may impact MASLD risk and progression. However, this has not been fully characterized. We harnessed the power of the All of Us Research Program (AoU) dataset to conduct a comprehensive analysis examining the association between various SDOH and MASLD. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of the AoU database. We identified participants with MASLD using ICD-9 and -10 codes and excluded individuals with other chronic liver diseases or self-reported heavy alcohol use. Healthy control participants were devoid of chronic liver diseases, heavy alcohol use, and comorbidities associated with MASLD if obese. We examined SDOH by combining relevant questions from various AoU surveys and conducted univariate and multivariate logistic regression to examine the association between various SDOH and MASLD. RESULTS: After matching cases to controls by age and race/ethnicity, the sample of 57,895 participants had a 1:3 case to control ratio; 16,666 had complete SDOH survey data (MASLD to controls, 1:3.4). Compared to controls, individuals with MASLD were more likely to have less than a high school education (10.7% vs 9.7%; P < .001) and annual income ≤$35,000 (42.4% vs 34.3%; P < .001). Compared to controls, participants with MASLD had significantly higher levels of social isolation, neighborhood disorder, perceived stress, food insecurity, and transportation insecurity (P < .001 for all). CONCLUSION: The study identified significant associations between MASLD and multiple SDOH. Future studies should investigate how SDOH interact to drive MASLD risk and progression.

[Investigation on calcifications in the breast].

This article reported the result of analysis of 96 cases with heaps of calcifications in the breast all verified by operation. The calcifications, according to the appearances on X-ray film were classified into 4 patterns: club-shaped, fine sandy, fragmented stonelike and coalescent. A comprehensive analysis was made in regard to spatial distribution and amount of calcification and the presence of a mass. The results indicated that club-shaped calcification is highly suggestive of malignancy regardless of the amount of calcification and the presence or absence of a mass. Simple fine sandy calcification in the absence of a mass can not differentiate benign from malignancy because of wide range of overlapping, whereas simple fragmented stone and coalescent types, according to the authors opinion denote benign.

[A clinical evaluation of lymphography in bladder tumor].

A study was conducted in a total of 51 patients with urinary bladder tumor who had received surgical operation associated with removal of regional lymph nodes after lymphography. Abnormal findings were observed in lymphogram of 22 patients. The other 29 patients showed no such abnormality. After the operation pathological metastasis was confirmed in 7 patients. Lymphograms of these patients ith positive lymphatic metastasis revealed filling defects in 85.7% and collaterals in 57.4%. There as correlation between the occurrences of these two findings based on quantification analysis III of multivariate analysis. Lymphography before operation showed 87.5% of sensitivity, 65.1% of specificity and accuracy of 68.6%, not having higher accuracy compared to other studies. These results suggest that lymphography, which may have clinical significance, is not a decisive method in exploration of bladder tumor. Comprehensive analysis of diagnostic imaging should be performed, including CT after lymphography.

Phenotypes of Hereditary Diseases Associated With Rauch-Steindl Syndrome.

PURPOSE: Prenatal phenotypic manifestations of genetic disorders associated with NSD2 variants remain poorly characterized. This study presents our institutional experience with the prenatal diagnosis of NSD2-associated genetic disorders, specifically Rauch-Steindl syndrome (RAUST), aiming to improve understanding of both the molecular and clinical features of RAUST. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of six fetuses and one adult diagnosed with RAUST at our institution and thoroughly reviewed the prenatal ultrasound reports of six fetuses. Prenatal and postnatal phenotypes of RAUST cases were summarized alongside findings from previously published literature. Correlations between NSD2 variant locations, variant types, and phenotypes were analyzed. Additionally, protein modeling was used to visualize structural changes in NSD2 protein before and after C-terminal variants. We integrated single-cell transcriptomic and gene expression data from multiple public databases to investigate spatiotemporal expression patterns of NSD2 during human fetal development. RESULTS: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) was the most prevalent prenatal manifestation in RAUST fetuses, followed by microcephaly. Bilateral renal hypoplasia emerged as a novel prenatal ultrasonographic feature. Postnatally, speech and motor developmental delays were the most commonly reported phenotypes, followed by physical developmental delays and intellectual disability. Genotype-phenotype correlation analysis revealed an association between N-terminal truncating variants in NSD2 and impaired fetal growth parameters. Notably, C-terminal truncating variants-predicted not to directly impact NSD2 functional domains-also exerted disease-causing effects. CONCLUSION: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of prenatal phenotypes in RAUST cases, enriching the prenatal phenotypic spectrum of the disease and facilitating early diagnosis and clinical management of RAUST. Furthermore, our genotype-phenotype correlation findings lay a foundational basis for future research into the complex molecular mechanisms underlying NSD2-associated genetic disorders.
