Objective:To investigate the characteristics of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) N-glycans in male patients with different subtypes and severity grades of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) .Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on male patients diagnosed with male-pattern hair loss (MPHL) or female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) who attended the Department of Dermatology, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University between June and December 2022. Clinical data were collected, and serum IgG N-glycans were quantitatively analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) . The content of serum IgG N-glycan structures was compared between patients with different AGA subtypes and among patients with different severity grades of MPHL or FPHL, while derived traits were compared between patients with different AGA subtypes. Point-biserial correlation analysis was conducted to assess associations between serum IgG N-glycans and hair loss severity.Results:A total of 85 male patients with AGA were included, comprising 44 MPHL patients and 41 FPHL patients. No significant differences were observed between the two subgroups in terms of age, age at onset, or serum levels of testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, uric acid, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (all P > 0.05) . UPLC showed 23 serum IgG glycans and 5 derived glycan traits (afucosylation, fucosylation, bisecting GlcNAc, terminal galactosylation, and terminal sialylation) . Compared with the MPHL patients, the FPHL patients exhibited significantly increased levels of N-glycans GP5, GP11, GP17, and GP20 (all P < 0.05) , significantly elevated levels of afucosylated IgG N-glycans ( P = 0.047) , but significantly reduced core fucosylated IgG N-glycans ( P = 0.047) . No significant differences in serum IgG N-glycan composition were observed among patients with varying severity grades of MPHL (all P > 0.05) . In the FPHL patients, the levels of N-glycans GP10 ( r = 0.32, P = 0.039) and GP22 ( r = -0.32, P = 0.045) were significantly positively and negatively correlated with hair loss severity respectively; receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that both GP10 and GP22 had moderate diagnostic value for predicting hair loss severity, with the area under the curve values being 0.69 (95% CI: 0.52 - 0.86) and 0.71 (95% CI: 0.55 - 0.86) , respectively. Conclusion:Serum IgG N-glycan profiles differed among male patients with different AGA subtypes, and N-glycans GP10 and GP22 may serve as potential biomarkers for early assessment of hair loss severity in male FPHL patients.

Rolling manipulation is one of the swing techniques with strong operational skills in massage therapy. This article summarized the biomechanical parameters and mechanism of the massage operation from multiple perspectives, including three-dimensional motion, force trajectory, dynamic parameters, force effect relationship, and mechanism. It is found that the massage operation could exert force in the vertical and horizontal directions of the body surface, and the movement trajectories of the front and back were generally symmetrical. The anterior force was approximately three times the retraction force, and the brachioradialis, pectoralis major, triceps, and deltoids were the main muscles that could exert force during manual manipulation. The method can have effects on hemodynamics, cellular anti-inflammatory effects, and improve the physiological function of tissues and organs. However, there is currently a lack of objective and unified norms and standards for the specific strength, frequency, and specific parameter combinations of massage methods, so the further improvement is still needed.

Changes in protein glycosylation modification have been found to be closely related to cancer and other diseases. Profiling glycosylation change has become an effective way to explore the diagnosis and treatment markers. The accuracy of quantitative technology is the key to reveal the mystery of glycosylation, and the screening and validation of glycosylation disease markers is dependant on the study of large clinical samples. Therefore, glycomic technology are expected to be simple, rapid, high-throughput, accurate and practical. In this paper, the characteristics of some commonly used glycomic analysis techniques and their applications in glycan markers are briefly discussed, and the characteristics, progress and applications of high-throughput precision glycome quantitative methods based on MALDI MS are emphasized.

Objective:Analyze the correlation between serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) N-glycan and Lauren classification of gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective study was performed on 17 patients with diffuse type gastric cancer and 21 patients with intestinal type who received treatment in Zhongshan Hospital from 2017 to 2018, and the general medical history data and disease characteristics were summarized. The serum IgG glycome profiles were analyzed by ultraperformance liquid chromatography, and the difference between intestinal type and diffuse type gastric cance was compared.Logistic regression was used to evaluate the correlation between serum IgG N-glycan and Lauren classification.Results:IgG N-glycome analysis included 27 directly detected glycans and 4 derived traits. H=Hexose, N=N-acetylglucosamine, F=Fucose, S=Sialic acid.There was no significant difference in IgG N-glycan among different chemotherapy protocol. Compared with intestinal type, H3N3F1 ( t=3.785, P=0.001), H3N4( t=3.919, P=0.002), H3N4F1( t=2.770, P=0.005), H3N5F1( t=2.888, P=0.010) were decreased in diffuse type; H4N4F1(6)( t=?3.488, P<0.001), H5N4F1( t=?3.401, P=0.003), H5N5F1( t=?2.303, P=0.023), H5N4F1S1 ( t=?3.068, P=0.008) were increased.H3N3F1( OR:1.20, P=0.008), H3N4( OR:1.32, P=0.005), H3N4F1 ( OR:1.13, P=0.017), H3N5F1 ( OR:1.78, P=0.015), H4N4F1(6)( OR:0.43, P=0.008), H5N4F1(6)( OR:0.74, P=0.008), H5N5F1 ( OR:0.32, P=0.036), H5N4F1S1( OR:0.48, P=0.009) were significantly correlated with Lauren classification. Sialylated ( t=?2.717, P=0.012) and galactosylated ( t=?3.400, P=0.001) IgG N-glycan were reduced in patients with intestinal type gastric cancer.Galactosylated ( OR:0.87, P=0.007) and sialylated ( OR:0.62, P=0.015) IgG N-glycan were significantly correlated with Lauren classification. Conclusion:Some IgG N-glycan are significantly correlated with Lauren classification, which can be used as potential biomarkers.

Development of thoracolumbar vertebra (TLV) and rib primordium (RP) is a common evolutionary feature across vertebrates, although whole-organism analysis of the expression dynamics of TLV- and RP-related genes has been lacking. Here, we investigated the single-cell transcriptome landscape of thoracic vertebra (TV), lumbar vertebra (LV), and RP cells from a pig embryo at 27 days post-fertilization (dpf) and identified six cell types with distinct gene expression signatures. In-depth dissection of the gene expression dynamics and RNA velocity revealed a coupled process of osteogenesis and angiogenesis during TLV and RP development. Further analysis of cell type-specific and strand-specific expression uncovered the extremely high level of HOXA10 3'-UTR sequence specific to osteoblasts of LV cells, which may function as anti-HOXA10-antisense by counteracting the HOXA10-antisense effect to determine TLV transition. Thus, this work provides a valuable resource for understanding embryonic osteogenesis and angiogenesis underlying vertebrate TLV and RP development at the cell type-specific resolution, which serves as a comprehensive view on the transcriptional profile of animal embryo development.
