OBJECTIVE: To explore the causality between reproductive traits and risk of psoriasis by using a large Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS: A two-sample MR study was performed using summarized statistics from the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted in reproductive traits, as well as GWAS data on overall psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and psoriasis vulgaris (PV). Besides univariable MR (UVMR), multivariable MR and two-step MR was used to calculate the independent effects and quantify the proportion mediated by education or body mass index (BMI). RESULTS: Genetically predicted early age at first sexual intercourse (AFS) led to an increased risk of overall psoriasis [odds ratio ( OR) _UVMR: 0.54]; 36.13% of this effect was mediated through BMI and 47.79% through educational attainment. The direct negative casual association between age at first birth (AFB)-PsA was dominant ( OR _UVMR: 0.76), with 49.61% proportion of the mediation due to BMI. The mediating effect was found for BMI on the AFS-PV relationship, which accounted for 26.27% of the proportion. AFS was inversely associated with the risk of overall psoriasis and PV, with considerable mediation by BMI and educational attainment. CONCLUSION Early AFB may cause a higher risk of PsA, while the AFS-PsA association was fully mediated by BMI.

Compared to traditional machine learning algorithms,which often suffer from low feature extraction efficiency,insufficient nonlinear pattern recognition capabilities and slow training speeds,the broad learning system(BLS)enhances the learning ability and efficiency by horizontally expanding the network structure.BLS offers advantages such as a simple structure,fast training speed,and strong generalization capabilities.While BLS has demonstrated potential in various fields,but its application in identification of complex samples has not been fully explored.This research investigated the feasibility of using BLS algorithm for identification of complex samples based on physicochemical indicators.Using the iris,wine,and breast cancer datasets,the length and width of petals and sepals of iris flowers,the physicochemical properties of wine,and the nuclear characteristics of breast cancer cells were used as input variables to establish BLS models for identifying iris species,wine varieties,and benign versus malignant nucleus.The model performance was evaluated by confusion matrices,accuracy,and runtime.Compared with partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),soft independent modeling of class analogies(SIMCA),and artificial neural networks(ANN),the results indicated that BLS demonstrated significant advantages in computational efficiency and recognition accuracy.Thus,BLS was an efficient and reliable method for identification of complex samples.

Objective:To analyze the activity of lithium chloride (LiCl) against influenza virus A (H3N2) in human non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549).Methods:Different concentrations of LiCl were incubated with A549 cells, and the cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed after 24 hours, and the effect of LiCl on cell activity was determined by CCK-8 method. After H3N2 (MOI=1) infected A549 cells, different concentrations of LiCl were added and incubated for 24 hours, and the viral load was measured by real time/reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and the CPE was observed, and the viral titer was determined. Different concentrations of LiCl were incubated with A549 at 37 ℃ and 5% CO 2 for 2 hours, virus was added and incubated for 24 hours, and the viral load was determined by RT-qPCR. LiCl, H3N2 and A549 were incubated at 4 ℃ for 1 hour, 35 ℃, 5% CO 2 for 24 hours, and viral load was determined by RT-qPCR. H3N2 and A549 were incubated at 4 ℃for 1 hour, then different concentrations of LiCl were added, incubated at 35 ℃ with 5% CO 2 for 24 hours, and the viral load was determined by RT-qPCR. After H3N2 infected A549 cells, different concentrations of LiCl were added and incubated for 24 hours, and the viral RNA load and viral titer of the supernatant and cells were measured, respectively, and then the corresponding ratios of the supernatant and the cells were calculated. After H3N2 (MOI=10) and BV (MOI=1) infected A549 cells, different concentrations of LiCl were added for 24 h, and the viral load was determined by RT-qPCR. Results:When the concentration of LiCl was<50 mmol/L, the cell viability of A549>90%. Different concentrations of LiCl could significantly reduce the viral load of H3N2 ( P<0.000 1), and the CPE of the LiCl treatment group was more dose-dependent than that of the control group. LiCl did not inhibit viral replication by affecting the cell itself; Different concentrations of LiCl significantly inhibited the entry of H3N2 into A549 ( P<0.000 1), and also had a certain inhibitory effect on the adsorption of A549 cells ( P<0.1). LiCl did not affect the assembly and release of H3N2 ( P>0.05), and it was also found that LiCl had a broad spectrum of antiviral effects against multiple influenza virus strains ( P<0.000 1). Conclusions:LiCl may exert antiviral effect by inhibiting the adsorption and entry of H3N2 into A549 cells and the replication of H3N2 in A549 cells, which provides a data reference for the prevention and treatment of viral infection by LiCl.

Background/Aims: Cholestatic liver diseases including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) are associated with active hepatic fibrogenesis, which ultimately progresses to cirrhosis. Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the main fibrogenic effectors in response to cholangiocyte damage. JCAD regulates cell proliferation and malignant transformation in nonalcoholic steatoheaptitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC). However, its participation in cholestatic fibrosis has not been explored yet. Methods: Serial sections of liver tissue of PBC patients were stained with immunofluorescence. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in wild-type (WT), global JCAD knockout mice (JCAD-KO) and HSC-specific JCAD knockout mice (HSC-JCAD-KO), and evaluated by histopathology and biochemical tests. In situ-activated HSCs isolated from BDL mice were used to determine effects of JCAD on HSC activation. Results: In consistence with staining of liver sections from PBC patients, immunofluorescent staining revealed that JCAD expression was identified in smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA)-positive fibroblast-like cells and was significantly up-regulated in WT mice with BDL. JCAD deficiency remarkably ameliorated BDL-induced hepatic injury and fibrosis, as documented by liver hydroxyproline content, when compared to WT mice with BDL. Histopathologically, collagen deposition was dramatically reduced in both JCAD-KO and HSC-JCAD-KO mice compared to WT mice, as visualized by Trichrome staining and semi-quantitative scores. Moreover, JCAD deprivation significantly attenuated in situ HSC activation and reduced expression of fibrotic genes after BDL. Conclusions JCAD deficiency effectively suppressed hepatic fibrosis induced by BDL in mice, and the underlying mechanisms are largely through suppressed Hippo-YAP signaling activity in HSCs.

ObjectiveTo simulate the microstructure and mechanical properties of tendon tissue and promote its regeneration and repair, electrospinning technology was used to prepare L-polylactic acid (PLLA) fiber membranes loaded with different nano zinc oxide contents and with oriented structures. Physical and chemical characterization and biological performance evaluation were carried out to explore their effects on tendon cell proliferation and differentiation. MethodsPreparation of PLLA fiber scaffolds and PLLA/ZnO fiber scaffolds containing different mass fractions of nano ZnO was performed using electrospinning technology. The physicochemical properties of the scaffold were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, mechanical stretching, and EDS spectroscopy. The scaffold was co-cultured with mouse tendon cells to detect its biocompatibility and regulatory effects on cell differentiation behavior. ResultsThe fiber scaffolds were arranged in an oriented manner, and zinc elements were uniformly distributed in the fibers. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of PLLA/0.1%ZnO fiber scaffolds were significantly higher than PLLA fiber scaffolds. The number of cells on the surface of PLLA/0.1%ZnO fiber scaffold was significantly higher than that of the PLLA group, and the activity was better; mouse tendon cells exhibit directional adhesion and growth along the fiber arrangement direction. ConclusionThe oriented PLLA/0.1%ZnO fiber scaffold had excellent physicochemical properties, which can significantly promote the oriented growth, proliferation and differentiation of tendon cells. It is expected to be used for tendon tissue regeneration and repair in the future.
