ObjectiveProtein-protein interactions (PPIs) are fundamental to the execution of biological functions within living cells. However, traditional biochemical methods, such as co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), often fail to capture transient, weak, or membrane-associated interactions due to the stringent detergent requirements for cell lysis. Proximity labeling (PL) has emerged in recent years as a transformative technology for mapping the proteomes of specific subcellular compartments and identifying dynamic interactomes in situ. Golgi protein 73 (GP73, also known as GOLPH2), a resident type II Golgi transmembrane protein, is a well-recognized clinical biomarker for liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite its clinical significance, the comprehensive physiological and pathological functions of GP73 remain partially understood. This study aims to establish an APEX2-mediated proximity labeling system specifically targeting GP73 to map its interactome in a living cellular environment, thereby providing new insights into its molecular roles and regulatory mechanisms. MethodsTo achieve spatial specificity, we first constructed a stable cell line expressing a fusion protein consisting of GP73 and the engineered soybean peroxidase APEX2. The localization of the GP73-APEX2 fusion protein was validated to ensure it correctly targeted the Golgi apparatus. The proximity labeling reaction was initiated by incubating the cells with biotin-phenol (BP) for 30 min, followed by a brief (1 min) treatment with1 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). This catalytic reaction converts BP into highly reactive, short-lived biotin-phenoxyl radicals that covalently attach to endogenous proteins within a small labeling radius of the GP73-APEX2 enzyme. Subsequently, the cells were quenched, and biotinylated proteins were enriched using high-affinity streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. The captured “neighbor” proteins were subjected to on-bead digestion and analyzed via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for high-throughput identification. Rigorous bioinformatics analysis, including Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and protein-protein interaction network mapping, was performed to interpret the biological significance of the identified candidates. ResultsOur results demonstrate the successful establishment of a robust and sensitive APEX2-based proximity labeling system for GP73. We identified a total of 95 high-confidence interacting proteins that were significantly enriched in the GP73 proximity proteome compared to control groups. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these interactors were predominantly associated with biological processes such as vesicular transport, protein localization, and, most notably, molecular functions related to “ribosome binding” and “translation regulation”. This suggested an unexpected role for the Golgi-resident GP73 in the cellular translation machinery. To validate these findings, we performed targeted biochemical assays which confirmed a direct interaction between GP73 and the subunits of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) complex, specifically EIF3G and EIF3I. Furthermore, functional validation using the surface sensing of translation (SUnSET) assay—a non-radioactive method to monitor protein synthesis—revealed that the overexpression of GP73 significantly promoted global protein translation levels in the cell, whereas its depletion or inhibition resulted in reduced translation efficiency. ConclusionThis study successfully utilized APEX2-mediated proximity labeling to provide the first systematic map of GP73 interactome in living cells. Our findings uncover a novel, unconventional function of GP73 as a regulator of cellular protein translation, likely mediated through its interaction with the eIF3 complex. This discovery significantly broadens our understanding of the biological roles of GP73 beyond its traditional function in the Golgi apparatus and suggests that it may act as a bridge between Golgi-related trafficking and the protein synthesis machinery. Furthermore, the technical framework established in this study provides a valuable template for investigating other complex organelle-associated protein networks and resolving transient macromolecular interactions in various physiological and pathological contexts.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Neuregulin 4 (NRG4) is a newly discovered adipokine,which plays crucial roles in many physiological processes such as energy balance,and glucose and lipid metabolism.The transcriptional regulation of NRG4 gene remains largely unknown.Our previous 5'RACE analysis showed that the tran-scription start sites (TSS) of chicken NRG4 gene were dispersed over a region of 200 bp,suggesting that chicken NRG4 gene possesses a dispersed promoter.In the present study,the promoter activity of the proximal exon and intron of chicken NRG4 gene was analyzed.Dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstra-ted that the genomic fragment (-122/+452) containing exon 1,intron 1,and exon 2 of chicken NRG4 gene had strong bidirectional promoter activity.Bioinformatics analysis showed that there was a putative binding site of the transcription factor CCAAT enhancer-binding proteinα(C/EBPα) in exon 2 of chick-en NRG4 gene.Reporter gene assay showed that both deletion and site-directed mutagenesis of the C/EBPα binding site abrogated the regulatory effect of C/EBPα on the promoter activity of the-122/+452 fragment of chicken NRG4 gene.Gene expression correlation analysis showed that C/EBPα and NRG4 gene expression were positively correlated in chicken adipose tissues.ChIP-PCR revealed that C/EBPα directly binds to the exon 2 of NRG4 gene in chicken adipose.In conclusion,the proximal exon and intron of chicken NRG4 gene has bidirectional promoter activity,and C/EBPα directly regulates NRG4 gene expression in chicken adipose via binding to its exon 2.

Objective To observe the effects of hemoperfusion(HP)combined with hemodialysis on cholinesterase(ChE)activity and inflammatory factors in patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning(AOPP).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted.Seventy-three AOPP patients admitted to the department of emergency of Yingshang People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were enrolled.The patients were divided into HP group(31 cases)and HP+continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)group(42 cases)according to different treatment regimens.All patients were given supportive treatment according to the standard protocol after admission.HP was given to the patients as soon as possible after admission,and the treatment time was between 2 hours and 3 hours,with an interval of 24 hours.Patients in HP+CRRT group were treated with continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration(CVVHDF)after HP.The serum ChE,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukins(IL-1,IL-6)levels were compared between the two groups after admission(T0),at the end of the first HP/HP+CRRT(T1),at the end of the second HP/HP+CRRT(T2),and at the end of the third HP/HP+CRRT(T3).The ChE recovery time,the incidence of intermediate syndrome(IMS),the length of hospital stay,and the rate of admission to ICU were also compared.Results With the extension of treatment time,the ChE activity at T1,T2,and T3 in the two groups was significantly higher than that at T0,and the levels of TNF-α,IL-1,and IL-6 were significantly lower than those at T0,reaching the trough value at T3,and the changes in HP+CRRT group were more significant than those in HP group[ChE activity(U/L):2 903.26±164.43 vs.2 292.98±350.96,TNF-α(ng/L):78.24±10.75 vs.100.55±15.58,IL-1(ng/L):95.98±22.56 vs.127.94±18.74,IL-6(ng/L):34.36±8.66 vs.58.74±10.46,all P<0.05].The recovery time of ChE activity and length of hospital stay in HP+CRRT group were significantly shorter than those in HP group[ChE activity recovery time(days):4.42±1.17 vs.7.31±1.46,length of hospital stay(days):9.25±2.14 vs.12.75±2.30,both P<0.05],the incidence of IMS and ICU admission rate were significantly lower than those in HP group[the incidence of IMS:33.33%(14/42)vs.61.29%(19/31),ICU admission rate:9.52%(4/42)vs.29.03%(9/31),both P<0.05].Conclusion For AOPP patients,HP+CRRT is superior to HP alone in the clearance of inflammatory factors,restoring ChE activity,reducing the incidence of IMS,and shortening the length of hospital stay,making it a valuable option for clinical application.

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis(OMS)is a subtype of maxillary sinusitis(MS).It is actually inflammation of the maxillary sinus that secondary to adjacent infectious maxillary dental lesion.Due to the lack of unique clinical features,OMS is difficult to distinguish from other types of rhinosinusitis.Besides,the characteristic infectious pathogeny of OMS makes it is resistant to conventional therapies of rhinosinusitis.Its current diagnosis and treatment are thus facing great difficulties.The multi-disciplinary cooperation between otolaryngologists and dentists is absolutely urgent to settle these questions and to acquire standardized diagnostic and treatment regimen for OMS.However,this disease has actually received little attention and has been underrepresented by relatively low publication volume and quality.Based on systematically reviewed literature and practical experiences of expert members,our consensus focuses on characteristics,symptoms,classification and diagnosis of OMS,and further put forward multi-disciplinary treatment decisions for OMS,as well as the common treatment complications and relative managements.This consensus aims to increase attention to OMS,and optimize the clinical diagnosis and decision-making of OMS,which finally provides evidence-based options for OMS clinical management.

Objective:To explore the correlation between MYB/NFIB gene fusion and clinicopathological features such as tumor grade and prognosis of head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), and to assess the concordant rate of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with MYB and NFIB immunohistochemistry.Methods:FISH detection of MYB/NFIB gene fusion was performed on 48 head and neck ACC cases and 15 non-ACC salivary gland tumors at National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China during April 2014 and January 2020. ACC cases were divided into grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ, grade Ⅲ and high-grade transformation, according to pathological grading criteria. Prognosis, FISH results and other clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. MYB and NFIB immunohistochemistry was performed on the 48 ACC and 15 non-ACC cases. The diagnostic accuracy of FISH and immunohistochemistry was compared.Results:FISH detected MYB/NFIB gene fusion in 41.7% (20/48) of the ACC. Its positive rate was inversely correlated with higher pathological grades ( P=0.036). The higher histological grade was linked to worse progression-free survival ( P=0.024), whereas there was no correlation between the status of gene fusion detected by FISH and progression-free survival ( P=0.536). FISH didnot detect MYB/NFIB gene fusion in 15 non-ACC salivary gland tumors The specificity of diagnosing ACC is 100% for both FISH detection of gene fusion and immunohistochemical detection of MYB expression. However, the sensitivity for both methods was only about 41.7%, respectively. By combining FISH and MYB immunohistochemistry, the sensitivity for diagnosing ACC was increased to 66.7%. Conclusions:MYB/NFIB gene fusion has a lower detection rate in grade Ⅲ ACC and high-grade transformation ACC. Meanwhile gene fusion status is not correlated with prognosis. The sensitivity for diagnosing ACC can be improved by combining FISH and MYB immunohistochemistry.
