OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate possible serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] cutoffs for the associations between 25(OH)D and Bone turnover markers (BTMs), and how GC gene variation influences such cutoffs in Chinese women of childbearing age. METHODS: In total, 1,505 non-pregnant or non-lactating women (18-45 years) were recruited from the 2015 Chinese Adult Chronic Disease and Nutrition Surveillance. Serum 25(OH)D, osteocalcin (OC), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), β-CrossLaps of type 1 collagen containing cross-linked C-telopeptide (β-CTX), and single nucleotide polymorphisms were determined. Locally weighted regression and smoothing scatterplot and segmented regression were performed to estimate the 25(OH)D thresholds. RESULTS: The median serum 25(OH)D was 16.63 (11.96-22.55) ng/mL and the prevalence of low serum 25(OH)D (< 12 ng/mL) was 25.2%. Women with the lowest 25(OH)D had the highest β-CTX. After adjustment for the confounders, 25(OH)D cutoffs for OC [14.04 (12.84-15.23) ng/mL], β-CTX [13.94 (12.49-15.39) ng/mL], and P1NP [13.87 (12.37-15.37) ng/mL] in the whole population, cutoffs for OC [12.30 (10.68-13.91) ng/mL], β-CTX [12.23 (10.22-14.23) ng/mL], and P1NP [11.85 (10.40-13.31) ng/mL] in women with the GC rs2282679 G allele, and cutoffs for OC [12.75 (11.81-13.68) ng/mL], β-CTX [13.05 (11.78-14.32) ng/mL], and P1NP [12.81 (11.57-14.06) ng/mL] in women with the GC rs2282679 T allele, were observed. Below these cutoffs, BTMs were negatively associated with 25(OH)D, while above these cutoffs, BTMs plateaued. CONCLUSION In Chinese women of childbearing age, there were thresholds effect of serum 25(OH)D concentrations on BTMs. The results indicated that serum 25(OH)D concentrations < 13.87 ng/mL in this population had adverse influences on maintaining bone remodeling. BTMs were suppressed at a relatively lower serum 25(OH)D in women with the GC rs2282679 G allele compared with those with the T allele.

This article reports the clinical characteristics and treatment processes of three cases of mucormycosis occurring after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children, along with a review of relevant literature. All three patients presented with chest pain as the initial symptom, and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) confirmed the mucycete infection early in all cases. Two patients recovered after treatment, while one succumbed to disseminated infection. mNGS has facilitated early diagnosis and treatment, reducing mortality rates. Additionally, surgical intervention is an important strategy for improving the prognosis of this condition.

Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) has long posed a challenging and pivotal concern in pharmaceutical research. The complex composition of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has introduced a bottleneck in current research, hindering the elucidation of the component basis associated with IDILI in TCM. Using Epimedii Folium (EF) and Psoraleae Fructus (PF) as illustrative examples, this study endeavors to establish an in vitro evaluation model, providing a high-throughput and preliminary assessment method for screening components related to TCM-induced IDILI. A TNF-α-mediated HepG2 susceptible model was first established in this study, with the focus on the index components present in EF and PF. The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cell supernatant served as the detection index. A concentration-toxicity response curve was constructed, and the hepatotoxic components of EF and PF were identified utilizing the synergistic toxicity index. The LDH results unveiled the hepatotoxic effects of bavachin, backuchiol, isobavachin, neobavaisoflavone, psoralidin, isobavachalcone, icarisid I, and icarisid II on both normal and susceptible cells, categorizing these 8 components as both direct hepatotoxicity components and idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity components. Bavachin and neobavaisoflavone exhibited no hepatotoxicity on normal cells but demonstrated significant effects on susceptible cells, designating them as potential idiosyncratic susceptible hepatotoxicity components. The study further delineated that 10 EF components and 3 PF components were direct immune-promoting hepatotoxicity components. Additionally, 14 idiosyncratic immune-promoting hepatotoxicity components were identified, encompassing 10 EF components and 4 PF components, with neobavaisoflavone, bavachinin, and isobavachin being potential idiosyncratic susceptible immune-promoting hepatotoxicity components. Synergistic toxicity index results indicated that 13 idiosyncratic immune-promoting hepatotoxicity components (except anhydroicaritin) combined with bavachin demonstrated synergistic hepatotoxicity on susceptible cells. Notably, 3 idiosyncratic susceptible immune-promoting hepatotoxicity components combined with bavachin exhibited synergistic hepatotoxicity, with neobavaisoflavone displaying the highest synergistic toxicity index and bavachinin the lowest. In summary, this methodology successfully screens hepatotoxic and immune-promoting hepatotoxic components in EF and PF, distinguishing the types of components inducing hepatotoxicity, evaluating the hepatotoxicity degree of each component, and elucidating the synergistic relationships among them. Importantly, these findings align with the characteristics of IDILI. The method provides an effective model tool for the fundamental research of TCM-related IDILI components.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, usually result from atherosclerosis, has the highest mortality rate globally. Lipid metabolism disorder is the main cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which not only lead to acute diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, acute pancreatitis, but also chronic kidney disease. In recent years, the advancement of gene therapy technologies has provided novel means for lipid metabolism study, and has also made it possible to cure patients with congenital lipid metabolism abnormalities. Adeno-associatd virus has a wide host range, high safety, low immunogenicity, and especially the ability of long-term stable expression in vivo, making it the preferred delivery tool for gene therapy of monogenic genetic diseases. Alipogene triprivec, also known as Glybera, was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2012. It is the first gene therapy drug that uses recombinant AAV1 vector to directly deliver a highly active LPL protein S447X mutant to muscle cells for the treatment of patients with hereditary LPL deficiency. To enhance the targeted transduction efficiency of AAV carriers, recombinantAAV8.TBG.hLDLR utilizes the tissue tropsim of AAV8 to liver, meanwhile utilizes a liver specific thyroxine binding globulin promoter to control gene transcription, thereby achieving liver cell specific high expressionof human low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR). In patients with familial hypercholesterolemia,AAV8.TBG.hLDLR treatment effectively lower the level of plasma LDL for a long time, thus preventing the occurrence of atherosclerosis.Proprotein convert subunit kexin 9 (PCSK9) is secreted by liver cells. PCSK9 binds and transports LDLR to lysosomes for degradation, preventing the circulation and regeneration of LDLR, leading to accelerated degradation of LDLR and finally resulting in the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in plasma. Using AAV to deliver Cas9 of Staphylococcus aureus and gRNA targeting the Pcsk9 gene can knock out Pcsk9 in mouse liver, leading to a long-term significant decrease in plasma cholesterol levels in mice. Hepatocyte specific angiopoietin related protein 3 (Angptl3) is an endogenous inhibitor of LPL. Using the AAV9 mediated AncBE4max system and the dCas9 mediated single base gene editing system to introduce early termination codons, the knockout of Angptal3 in liver cells was achieved with an average knockout efficiency of 63.3%. After 2-4 weeks of administration in mice, the Angptl3 protein was completely undetectable in the peripheral blood, and serum triglycerides and total cholesterol decreased by 58% and 61%, respectively. Ring finger containing protein 130 (RNF130) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Research has shown that overexpression of RNF130 using AAV2/8 leads to ubiquitination degradation and redistribution of LDLR on the cell membrane, significantly reducing LDLR expression on liver cells and increasing plasma LDLC levels, while knocking out Rnf130 gene using the AAV-CRISPR system results in the opposite effect. This AAV mediated RNF130 function study proves that RNF130 is a posttranslational regulatory protein of LDLR and plays an important role in the regulation of serum LDLC. As mentioned above, recently, various lipid-lowering gene therapy drugs carried by different serotypes of adeno-associated virus have been applied in clinic or are undergoing clinical trials, and adeno-associated virus has emerging to be an important tool for lipid metabolism research.This article reviews the new progress of adeno-associated virus vectors in lipid metabolism study and lipid-lowering gene therapy.
