Aldehyde oxidase (AOX) is a molybdoenzyme that is primarily expressed in the liver and is involved in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. AOX-mediated metabolism can result in unexpected outcomes, such as the production of toxic metabolites and high metabolic clearance, which can lead to the clinical failure of novel therapeutic agents. Computational models can assist medicinal chemists in rapidly evaluating the AOX metabolic risk of compounds during the early phases of drug discovery and provide valuable clues for manipulating AOX-mediated metabolism liability. In this study, we developed a novel graph neural network called AOMP for predicting AOX-mediated metabolism. AOMP integrated the tasks of metabolic substrate/non-substrate classification and metabolic site prediction, while utilizing transfer learning from ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance data to enhance its performance on both tasks. AOMP significantly outperformed the benchmark methods in both cross-validation and external testing. Using AOMP, we systematically assessed the AOX-mediated metabolism of common fragments in kinase inhibitors and successfully identified four new scaffolds with AOX metabolism liability, which were validated through in vitro experiments. Furthermore, for the convenience of the community, we established the first online service for AOX metabolism prediction based on AOMP, which is freely available at https://aomp.alphama.com.cn.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of human parechovirus (HPeV) in neonates of Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital, and analyze genetic evolutionary characteristics.Methods:From June to September 2021, fecal samples of inpatient neonates were collected in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital. TaqMan real-time qPCR and RT-PCR were used for HPeV screening and genotyping. High-throughput sequencing and PCR were used to obtain whole genomes. Phylogenetic analysis was performed after sequencing.Results:A total of 123 fecal samples of neonates were collected, of which 22 were HPeV positive, with 17.89% positive rate. All the strains belonged to the HPeV-1 genotype. One full-length genomic sequence of 7 269 bp were obtained, and provisionally named Hunan/HPeV/2021, which has the highest nucleotide identity with known HPeV-1 genotype, with 86.6%-91.9% nucleotide identity. The nucleotide and amino acid identity of open reading frame (ORF) with known similar sequences were 90.3%-92.6% and 97.3%-98.3%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Hunan/HPeV/2021 belongs to the HPeV-1 genotype, which is clustered into the same clade as the popular HPeV-1 strains in China.Conclusions:HPeV has a high prevalence in inpatient neonates of Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital and belong to the HPeV-1 genotype.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Macrophage migration-inhibitory factors (MIF) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and its interaction with ERK1/2 signaling pathway, so as to establish a theoretical basis for further studying the molecular mechanism of MIF promoting HCC.Methods:From February 2020 to August 2021, 52 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues based on hepatitis B cirrhosis (HBV-LC) and 52 cases of adjacent tissues in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital and 940th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA were collected as the experimental group, including 39 males and 13 females, aged 35-65 years. And 20 cases of normal liver tissue were selected as the control group. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of MIF, ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 proteins in liver tissues of the two groups, and in situ hybridization was used to detect the expression of ERK1/2 nucleic acid in liver tissues of the two groups.HepG2 HCC cells and L-02 normal hepatocytes were co-cultured with different concentrations of rMIF, the expression and phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2 and JNK1 proteins in the two kinds of liver cells were detected by Western-blot, and the expression levels of ERK1/2 nucleic acids in the two kinds of liver cells were detected by RT-PCR. One-way ANOVA was used for measurement data and χ 2 test was used for counting data. Results:The expressions of MIF, ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 mRNA were significantly increased in HCC and para-cancer tissues (the expression of MIF in HCC group was 78.8%, and that in adjacent group was 75.0%; ERK1/2 80.8% in HCC group and ERK1/2 71.8% in paracancerous group. The expression of p-ERK1/2 75.0 % in HCC group and 46.2% in paracancerous group were respectively detected. ERK1/2 mRNA was expressed in HCC group 76.9%, ERK1/2 mRNA expression in paracancerous group 78.8%), and the differences were statistically significant compared with normal liver tissues ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between HCC and para-cancer tissues ( P>0.05). The expressions of ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 mRNA in HepG2 HCC cells were significantly increased with the increase of rMIF concentration, and the increase was most obvious when rMIF concentration was 200 ng/ml, and the difference was statistically significant compared with L-02 normal hepatocytes ( P<0.05). Conclusion:MIF, ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 are highly expressed in HCC tissues and HepG2 HCC cells, suggesting that MIF promotes the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma through ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the association between body mass index ( BMI ) and mortality risk among older Chinese based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study ( CHARLS ). Methods: The demographic features, BMI, prevalence of chronic diseases and mortality among the elderly at ages of 60 years and greater were captured from the CHARLS database from 2011 to 2018. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to examine the association between BMI and the risk of death. Results: Totally 6 023 subjects were enrolled, including 3 006 men ( 50.09% ) and 3 017 women ( 49.91% ), and 68.69% of the participants ( 4 137 subjects ) were at ages of 60 to 69 years. There were 637 subjects ( 10.58% ) with underweight, 1 544 ( 25.63% ) with overweight, and 557 ( 9.25% ) with obesity. During the follow-up period ( 35 091 person-years ), 1 035 subjects died. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed an increased risk of mortality among the underweight elderly ( HR=1.496, 95%CI: 1.261-1.775 ) and a reduced risk of mortality among the obese elderly ( HR=0.671, 95%CI: 0.511-0.881 ) relative to the elderly with normal weight, after adjustment for age, gender, smoking, household registration, administration of anti-diabetic drugs, administration of anti-dyslipidemia drugs, and administration of anti-hypertensive drugs. Conclusion It is found that the risk of mortality among the Chinese elderly correlatives with BMI through the analysis of CHARLS data.

Objective:To optimize and evaluate the pretreatment method for high-throughput sequencing of fecal and tissue samples to improve the sensitivity of high-throughput sequencing in the study of virome.Methods:For fecal samples, five virus-positive samples that have been detoxified from feces were selected, mixed as the simulated samples, and filters made of different materials were used, different processing times were set for nucleases, and different kits were used to extract nucleic acid. For tissue samples, two virus-positive samples that have been detected in animal tissues, filter and nuclease treatment were used, and different extraction method were used to extract nucleic acid. TaqMan real-time PCR was used to quantitatively evaluate the impact of each treatment on the virus and the advantages and disadvantages were compared. We used the SYBR Green real-time PCR quantitative method to evaluate the removal effect of the above method on bacteria 16S rRNA and host 12S rRNA genome.Results:For fecal samples, the 0.22 μm PES filter showed a better filtering effect, and the PVDF material filter reduces the sample volume; 2 h nuclease digestion was better than 1 h digestion to remove bacteria, and the virus loss was less; the use of RPMK kits can effectively reduce bacteria, but the effect of extracting some viruses was poor, and the MVSK kit has a better effect of extracting viral nucleic acid. For tissue samples, 0.22 μm PES filter filtration, nuclease digestion for 1 h and VNAEK II kit extraction of nucleic acid were the best, Trizol LS combined with the RPMK method was better for gDNA removal, but the virus loss was larger. The virus loss of the whole process of the pretreatment method of feces and tissue samples was (1.7-3.0) Ct and (1.6-2.5) Ct, respectively.Conclusions:The optimal method for fecal samples was to filter with a PES filter, then digest with nuclease for 2 hours, and then extract nucleic acids using the MVSK kit; the optimal method for tissue samples was to filter with a PES filter, then perform 1 h nuclease digestion, and then use VNAEK II kit to extract nucleic acids.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects of bridge internal fixation system on the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fracture of Vancouver type B1.Methods:From June 2013 to October 2018, 10 patients with periprosthetic femoral fracture of Vancouver type B1 were treated by bridge internal fixation system at Department of Orthopedics, Zhucheng People's Hospital Affiliated to Weifang Medical College.
