1 0 podocyte sirpα reduction in diabetic nephropathy aggravates podocyte injury by promoting pyruvate kinase m2 nuclear translocation. podocyte injury is a critical event in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (dn). hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and other factors contribute to podocyte damage in dn. in this study, we demonstrate that signaling regulatory protein alpha (sirpα) plays a pivotal role in regulating the metabolic and immune homeostasis of podocytes. deletion of sirpα in podocytes exacerbates, while transgenic overexpression of sirpα alleviates, podocyte injury in experimental dn mice. mechanistically, sirpα downregulation promotes pyruvate kinase m2 (pkm2) phosphorylation, initiating a positive feedback loop that involves pkm2 nuclear translocation, nf-κb activation, and oxidative stress, ultimately impairing aerobic glycolysis. consistent with this mechanism, shikonin ameliorates podocyte injury by reducing pkm2 nuclear translocation, preventing oxidative stress and nf-κb activation, thereby restoring aerobic glycolysis. redox biology eng 2024 Nov Unknown Chen Yang, Zhang Mingchao, Jia Ruoyu, Qian Bin, Jing Chenyang, Zeng Caihong, Zhu Dihan, Liu Zhihong, Zen Ke, Li Limin state key laboratory of natural medicines, jiangsu key laboratory of druggability of biopharmaceuticals, school of life science and technology, china pharmaceutical university, nanjing, jiangsu, 211198, china., national clinical research center of kidney diseases, jinling hospital, nanjing, 210002, china., national clinical research center of kidney diseases, jinling hospital, affiliated hospital of medical school, nanjing university, nanjing, 210002, china., state key laboratory of natural medicines, jiangsu key laboratory of druggability of biopharmaceuticals, school of life science and technology, china pharmaceutical university, nanjing, jiangsu, 211198, china., state key laboratory of natural medicines, jiangsu key laboratory of druggability of biopharmaceuticals, school of life science and technology, china pharmaceutical university, nanjing, jiangsu, 211198, china., national clinical research center of kidney diseases, jinling hospital, affiliated hospital of medical school, nanjing university, nanjing, 210002, china., state key laboratory of natural medicines, jiangsu key laboratory of druggability of biopharmaceuticals, school of life science and technology, china pharmaceutical university, nanjing, jiangsu, 211198, china., national clinical research center of kidney diseases, jinling hospital, nanjing, 210002, china. electronic address: liuzhihong@nju.edu.cn., state key laboratory of natural medicines, jiangsu key laboratory of druggability of biopharmaceuticals, school of life science and technology, china pharmaceutical university, nanjing, jiangsu, 211198, china; state key laboratory of pharmaceutical biotechnology, school of life sciences, nanjing university, nanjing, jiangsu, 210093, china. electronic address: kzen@nju.edu.cn., state key laboratory of natural medicines, jiangsu key laboratory of druggability of biopharmaceuticals, school of life science and technology, china pharmaceutical university, nanjing, jiangsu, 211198, china. electronic address: liminli@cpu.edu.cn. redox biology redox biol 2213-2317 2213-2317 10.7 11.7 BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY|Q1|17/313 10-20
2 1 beneficial effects of the remifentanil/thiopental combination on cardiac function and redox status in diabetic rats. this study aimed to examine the effect of thiopental monotherapy as well as its combination with different agents used in anesthesia induction, on cardiac function and redox state of rats with type 1 diabetes mellitus (t1dm). a total of 40 wistar albino male rats were used in this study and randomly divided into five groups: thiopental (tio), fentanyl + thiopental (fen+tio), remifentanil + thiopental (rem+tio), midazolam + thiopental (mid+tio), and dexmedetomidine + thiopental (dex+tio). animals were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of thiopental 85 mg/kg, fentanyl 0.005 mg/kg, remifentanil 0.04 mg/kg, midazolam 2.5 mg/kg, and dexmedetomidine 0.05 mg/kg of body weight. four weeks after t1dm induction, all animals were subjected to a short narcosis of tested anesthetic, sacrificed by cervical dislocation and the hearts were retrogradely perfused according to langendorff technique. our research demonstrated that most combined anesthetics negatively influenced cardiodynamic parameters and redox state in diabetic rats. however, significantly improved cardiac contractility associated with enhanced antioxidative capacity was achieved in the combination of tio with rem, which distinguishes this anesthetic combination as the therapy with the most pronounced positive effect on cardiac function in state of t1dm. canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology eng 2024 Nov Unknown Marijanovic Goran V, Stojanovic Aleksandra Z, Nikolic Marina R, Jakovljevic Vladimir, Vulovic Tatjana V clinical center of montenegro, clinic of anesthesiology, podgorica, montenegro; marijanovic.goran62@gmail.com., university of kragujevac faculty of medicine, department of pharmacy, kragujevac, serbia; vranicaleksandra90@gmail.com., university of kragujevac, department of physiology, kragujevac, serbia; marina.rankovic.95@gmail.com., university of kragujevac faculty of medicine, department of physiology, kragujevac, serbia., clinical center kragujevac, department of anesthesiology and resuscitation, kragujevac, serbia; tatjana_vulovic@yahoo.com. canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology can j physiol pharm 0008-4212 1205-7541 1.7 1.8 PHYSIOLOGY|Q4|64/85 0-10

4 4 agrp neurons mediate activity-dependent development of oxytocin connectivity and autonomic regulation. during postnatal life, leptin specifies neuronal inputs to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (pvh) and activates agouti-related peptide (agrp) neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. activity-dependent developmental mechanisms impact refinement of sensory circuits, but whether leptin-mediated postnatal neuronal activity specifies hypothalamic neural projections is largely unexplored. here, we used chemogenetics to manipulate the activity of agrp neurons during a discrete postnatal critical period and evaluated the development of agrp inputs to the pvh and descending efferent outflow to the dorsal vagal complex (dvc). in leptin-deficient mice, targeting of agrp neuronal outgrowth to pvh oxytocin neurons was reduced, and despite the lack of leptin receptors found on oxytocin neurons in the pvh, oxytocin-containing connections to the dvc were also impaired. activation of agrp neurons during early postnatal life not only normalized agrp inputs to the pvh but also oxytocin outputs to the dvc in leptin-deficient mice. blocking agrp neuron activity during the same postnatal period reduced the density of agrp inputs to the pvh of wild type mice, as well as the density of oxytocin-containing dvc fibers, and these innervation deficits were associated with dysregulated autonomic function. these findings suggest that leptin-mediated agrp neuronal activity is required for the development of pvh connectivity and represents a unique activity-dependent mechanism for specification of neural pathways involved in the hypothalamic integration of autonomic responses. proceedings of the national academy of sciences of the united states of america eng 2024 Dec Unknown Biddinger Jessica E, Elson Amanda E T, Fathi Payam A, Sweet Serena R, Nishimori Katsuhiko, Ayala Julio E, Simerly Richard B department of molecular physiology & biophysics, vanderbilt university, nashville, tn 37232., developmental neuroscience program, the saban research institute, children's hospital los angeles, los angeles, ca 90027., department of molecular physiology & biophysics, vanderbilt university, nashville, tn 37232., department of molecular physiology & biophysics, vanderbilt university, nashville, tn 37232., department of obesity and internal inflammation, fukushima medical university, fukushima city 960-1295, japan., department of molecular physiology & biophysics, vanderbilt university, nashville, tn 37232., department of molecular physiology & biophysics, vanderbilt university, nashville, tn 37232. proceedings of the national academy of sciences of the united states of america p natl acad sci usa 0027-8424 1091-6490 9.4 10.8 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES|Q1|13/134 0-10
5 5 resolving spatiotemporal electrical signaling within the islet via cmos microelectrode arrays. glucose-stimulated beta-cells exhibit synchronized calcium dynamics across the islet that recruit beta-cells to enhance insulin secretion. compared to calcium dynamics, the formation and cell-to-cell propagation of electrical signals within the islet are poorly characterized. to determine factors that influence the propagation of electrical activity across the islet underlying calcium oscillations and beta-cell synchronization, we used high-resolution cmos multielectrode arrays (mea) to measure voltage changes associated with the membrane potential of individual cells within intact c57bl6 mouse islets. we measured fast (milliseconds, spikes) and slow (seconds, waves) voltage dynamics. single spike activity and wave signal velocity were both glucose-dependent, but only spike activity was influenced by nmda receptor activation or inhibition. a repeated glucose stimulus revealed a highly responsive subset of cells in terms of spike activity. when islets were pretreated for 72 hours with glucolipotoxic medium, the wave velocity was significantly reduced. network analysis confirmed that in response to glucolipotoxicity the synchrony of islet cells was affected due to slower propagating electrical waves and not due to altered spike activity. in summary, this approach provided novel insight regarding the propagation of electrical activity and the disruption of cell-to-cell communication due to excessive stimulation. diabetes eng 2024 Nov Unknown Gresch Anne, Osthues Jana, Hüwel Jan D, Briggs Jennifer K, Berger Tim, Koch Ruben, Deickert Thomas, Beecks Christian, Benninger Richard K P, Düfera Martina university of münster, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, dept. of pharmacology, pharmacampus, münster, germany., university of münster, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, dept. of pharmacology, pharmacampus, münster, germany., university of hagen, dept. of mathematics and computer science, chair of data science, hagen, germany., department of bioengineering, university of colorado anschutz medical campus, aurora, colorado, usa., university of hagen, dept. of mathematics and computer science, chair of data science, hagen, germany., university of hagen, dept. of mathematics and computer science, chair of data science, hagen, germany., university of hagen, dept. of mathematics and computer science, chair of data science, hagen, germany., university of hagen, dept. of mathematics and computer science, chair of data science, hagen, germany., department of bioengineering, university of colorado anschutz medical campus, aurora, colorado, usa., university of münster, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, dept. of pharmacology, pharmacampus, münster, germany. diabetes diabetes 0012-1797 1939-327X 6.2 7.1 ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM|Q1|20/186 0-10

10 10 risk factors associated with sglt2 inhibitor discontinuation in diabetic patients with heart failure. sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (sglt2i), have shown benefits in patient with heart failure (hf), however, adherence remains a significant issue: with only 60% of patients continuing usage beyond a year. this study aims to identify patients at risk of discontinuing sglt2i and promote its judicious use to reduce hospitalizations and improve cardiovascular outcomes. using the korean national health insurance service database, patients diagnosed with hf and diabetes mellitus (n = 1,665,565) between 2013 and 2018 were identified. among them, 55,694 participants prescribed sglt2i were enrolled. the primary endpoint included 1) all-cause mortality and 2) sglt2i-related hospitalization, encompassing incidents such as ketoacidosis, acute kidney injury, urinary tract infections, fall-related fractures, and other unplanned hospitalizations. during the follow-up period (median: 2.3 years; range: 1.2-3.6 years), 8,463 participants reached the primary endpoint (25.5 for all-cause death and 39.4 for sglt2i-related hospitalizations per 1,000 person-years). independent risk factors for the primary endpoint in multivariate cox regression and propensity-score matching analyses included age of ≥ 70 years, body mass index (bmi) <18.5 kg/m2, body weight <60 kg, anemia, chronic kidney disease, and the use of diuretics. age (hazard ratio [hr] 1.45, 95% confidence interval [ci]: 1.36-1.54), bmi (hr 1.78, 95% ci: 1.29-2.45), body weight (hr 1.17, 95% ci: 1.09-1.26) and the use of furosemide (hr 1.45, 95% ci: 1.22-1.74) (all p<0.001) were consistent independent risk factors in the propensity score-matched cohort. having three or more risk factors was associated with an adjusted hr that was 3.04 times higher than cases with no risk factor (95% ci: 2.83-3.28, p<0.001). old age, low weight or bmi, and the use of diuretics are risk factors that hinder the continuous use of sglt2i in diabetic patients with hf. close monitoring for side effects is essential when prescribing sglt2i, particularly for those with multiple risk factors. plos one eng 2024 No Data Unknown Kim Minkwan, Heo Seok-Jae, Kim Moon-Hyun, Park Je-Wook, Bae SungA, Roh Ji Woong, Lee Oh-Hyun, Kim Yongcheol, Im Eui, Jung In Hyun, Cho Deok-Kyu division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of biostatistics, department of biomedical systems informatics, yonsei university college of medicine, seoul, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea., division of cardiology, department of internal medicine, yongin severance hospital, yonsei university college of medicine, yongin, gyeonggi-do, republic of korea. plos one plos one 1932-6203 1932-6203 2.9 3.3 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES|Q1|31/134 0-10
11 12 antihypertensive drug recommendations for reducing arterial stiffness in patients with hypertension: machine learning-based multicohort (rigiprev) study. high systolic blood pressure is one of the leading global risk factors for mortality, contributing significantly to cardiovascular diseases. despite advances in treatment, a large proportion of patients with hypertension do not achieve optimal blood pressure control. arterial stiffness (as), measured by pulse wave velocity (pwv), is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and overall mortality. various antihypertensive drugs exhibit differential effects on pwv, but the extent to which these effects vary depending on individual patient characteristics is not well understood. given the complexity of selecting the most appropriate antihypertensive medication for reducing pwv, machine learning (ml) techniques offer an opportunity to improve personalized treatment recommendations. journal of medical internet research eng 2024 Nov Unknown Cavero-Redondo Iván, Martinez-Rodrigo Arturo, Saz-Lara Alicia, Moreno-Herraiz Nerea, Casado-Vicente Veronica, Gomez-Sanchez Leticia, Garcia-Ortiz Luis, Gomez-Marcos Manuel A carvascare research group, facultad de enfermería de cuenca, universidad de castilla-la mancha, cuenca, spain., department of informatic systems, university of castilla-la mancha, cuenca, spain., carvascare research group, facultad de enfermería de cuenca, universidad de castilla-la mancha, cuenca, spain., carvascare research group, facultad de enfermería de cuenca, universidad de castilla-la mancha, cuenca, spain., parquesol university health centre, west valladolid primary healthcare management, castilla y león regional health authority, valladolid, spain., emergency service, university hospital of la paz, madrid, spain., primary care research unit of salamanca, salamanca primary healthcare management, institute of biomedical research of salamanca, salamanca, spain., primary care research unit of salamanca, salamanca primary healthcare management, institute of biomedical research of salamanca, salamanca, spain., No Affiliation journal of medical internet research j med internet res 1438-8871 5.8 6.7 MEDICAL INFORMATICS|Q1|5/44 0-10

14 15 molecular secrets revealed: how diabetes may be paving the way for leukemia. type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) and leukemia are two major global health concerns, both contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. epidemiological evidence demonstrates a strong correlation between t2dm and an increased risk of leukemia, particularly driven by insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and the resultant metabolic dysregulation. key shared risk factors, including obesity and chronic inflammation, create a conducive environment for leukemogenesis, intensifying cancer cell proliferation and resistance to standard therapies. insulin resistance, in particular, triggers oncogenic pathways such as pi3k/akt and mapk, exacerbating the aggressive phenotype seen in leukemia patients with t2dm. additionally, clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (chip) is implicated in the higher leukemia risk observed in diabetic populations, especially among the elderly. molecular mechanisms like the insulin-like growth factor (igf) system further highlight the intricate link between these diseases, promoting survival and proliferation of leukemia cells. the coexistence of t2dm in leukemia patients is associated with poorer prognostic outcomes, including increased susceptibility to infections, reduced survival, and greater treatment resistance. antidiabetic agents, notably metformin and pioglitazone, show promise in enhancing chemotherapy efficacy and improving patient outcomes by targeting metabolic pathways. these results highlight the need for comprehensive treatment approaches that target both metabolic abnormalities and cancer-related mechanisms in patients suffering from both t2dm and leukemia. current treatment options in oncology eng 2024 Nov Unknown Goleij Pouya, Khazeei Tabari Mohammad Amin, Ahmed Ahmed Rabie Dahab, Mohamed Leena Mohamed Elamin, Saleh Ghaida Ahmed Hamed, Abdu Hassan Malak Tarig Mohamed, Moahmmednoor Alaa Galal Mohammed, Khan Haroon usern office, kermanshah university of medical sciences, kermanshah, iran. medgenetic.1991@gmail.com., school of medicine, mazandaran university of medical sciences, mazandaran, iran., faculty of medicine, university of medical science and technology, khartoum, sudan., faculty of medicine and health sciences, omdurman islamic university, khartoum, sudan., faculty of medicine, university of khartoum, khartoum, sudan., faculty of medicine, university of medical science and technology, khartoum, sudan., faculty of medicine, university of khartoum, khartoum, sudan., department of pharmacy, faculty of chemical and life sciences, abdul wali khan university mardan, mardan, 23200, pakistan. haroonkhan@awkum.edu.pk. current treatment options in oncology curr treat option on 1527-2729 1534-6277 3.8 4.5 ONCOLOGY|Q2|102/322 0-10
15 16 metformin effectively alleviates the symptoms of alzheimer in rats by lowering amyloid β deposition and enhancing the insulin signal. alzheimer's disease (ad) exhibits distinct biochemical and histopathological attributes, encompassing cellular, neuronal, and oxidative impairment. there is also an abnormal buildup, misfolding and clumping of amyloid β (aβ). the present study aimed to explore the influence of the antihyperglycemic agent metformin on rats with ad-like symptoms, while also elucidating the intricate relationship between insulin resistance and ad. the rats were categorized into five groups: a control group, a saline-administered group, a metformin-treated group, ad-model rats, and ad-rats treated with a 200 mg/kg dose of metformin. cognitive impairment was rated using the classical labyrinth test. moreover, serum biochemical parameters, encompassing glucose levels, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (homa-ir), glycated hemoglobin (hba1c), lipid profile, kidney, and liver function, were evaluated. additionally, oxidative, antioxidant, and neurotransmitter parameters were measured in hippocampus tissues. also, the aβ and insulin receptor substrate 2 (irs-2) were measured by immunoblotting. besides hippocampal histopathology, glial fibrillary acidic protein (gfap) and calretinin immunoreactivity were monitored. the study findings disclosed deficits in memory and learning capabilities among ad rats. furthermore, ad-afflicted rats exhibited heightened glucose levels, elevated homa-ir and hba1c values, alongside compromised liver, and kidney functions. additionally, an upsurge in oxidative stress coincided with a notable reduction in the antioxidant system and neurotransmitters activities. the levels of aβ deposition increased, while irs-2 expression subsided, accompanied by alterations in the hippocampal structure and neuronal damage. these changes were paralleled by an intensification in gfap reactivity and a detracting in calretinin reactivity. metformin was altogether able to move forward cognitive execution by means of bringing down oxidative stress and aβ conglomeration. furthermore, metformin was able to improve neurotransmitters and insulin signals. ad, glucose impairment, and brain insulin resistance are completely interlinked, and future ad medications may be inspired by diabetic medication. metabolic brain disease eng 2024 Nov Unknown Abosharaf Hamed A, Elsonbaty Yasmin, Tousson Ehab, Mohamed Tarek M biochemistry division, chemistry department, faculty of science, tanta university, tanta, 31527, egypt. hamed_biochemistry@science.tanta.edu.eg., biochemistry division, chemistry department, faculty of science, tanta university, tanta, 31527, egypt., zoology department, faculty of science, tanta university, tanta, 31527, egypt., biochemistry division, chemistry department, faculty of science, tanta university, tanta, 31527, egypt. tarek.ali@science.tanta.edu.eg. metabolic brain disease metab brain dis 0885-7490 1573-7365 3.2 3.3 NEUROSCIENCES|Q2|128/310 0-10

18 24 transcriptomics revealed differentially expressed transcription factors and micrornas in human diabetic foot ulcers. non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (dfus) not only significantly increase morbidity and mortality but also cost a lot and drain healthcare resources. persistent inflammation, decreased angiogenesis, and altered extracellular matrix remodeling contribute to delayed healing or non-healing. recent studies suggest an increasing trend of dfus in diabetes patients, and non-healing dfys increase the incidence of amputation. despite the current treatment with offloading, dressing, antibiotics use, and oxygen therapy, the risk of amputation persists. thus, there is a need to understand the molecular and cellular factors regulating healing in dfus. the ongoing research based on proteomics and transcriptomics has predicted multiple potential targets, but there is no definitive therapy to enhance healing in chronic dfus. increased or decreased expression of various proteins encoded by genes, whose expression transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally is regulated by transcription factors (tfs) and micrornas (mirs), regulates dfu healing. for this study, rna sequencing was conducted on 20 dfu samples of ulcer tissue and non-ulcerated nearby healthy tissues. the ipa analysis revealed various activated and inhibited transcription factors and micrornas. further network analysis revealed interactions between the tfs and mirs and the molecular targets of these tfs and mirs. the analysis revealed 30 differentially expressed transcription factors (21 activated and 9 inhibited), two translational regulators (rpsa and eif4g2), and seven mirs, including mir-486, mir-324, mir-23, mir-186, mir-210, mir-199, and mir-338 in upstream regulators (<i>p</i> < 0.05), while causal network analysis (<i>p</i> < 0.05) revealed 28 differentially expressed tfs (19 activated and 9 inhibited), two translational regulators (rpsa and eif4g2), and five mirs including mir-155, mir-486, mir-324, mir-210, and mir-1225. the protein-protein interaction analysis revealed the interaction of various novel proteins with the proteins involved in regulating dfu pathogenesis and healing. the results of this study highlight many activated and inhibited novel tfs and mirs not reported in the literature so far, as well as the targeted molecules. since proteins are the functional units during biological processes, alteration of gene expression may result in different proteoforms and protein species, making the wound microenvironment a complex protein interaction (proteome complexity). thus, investigating the effects of these tfs and mirs on protein expression using proteomics and combining these results with transcriptomics will help advance research on dfu healing and delineate potential therapeutic strategies. proteomes eng 2024 Nov Unknown Rai Vikrant department of translational research, western university of health sciences, 309 e. second street, pomona, ca 91766-1854, usa. proteomes proteomes 2227-7382 4.0 3.6 BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY|Q2|100/313 0-10

20 28 lnc-ing genetics in mitochondrial disease. primary mitochondrial disease (md) is a group of rare genetic diseases reported to have a prevalence of 1:5000 and is currently without a cure. this group of diseases includes mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (melas), maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (midd), leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (lhon), leigh syndrome (ls), kearns-sayre syndrome (kss), and myoclonic epilepsy and ragged-red fiber disease (merrf). additionally, secondary mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the most common current causes of mortality and morbidity, including cardiovascular disease (cvd) and cancer. identifying key genetic contributors to both md and secondary mitochondrial dysfunction may guide clinicians to assess the most effective treatment course and prognosis, as well as informing family members of any hereditary risk of disease transmission. identifying underlying genetic causes of primary and secondary md involves either genome sequencing (gs) or small targeted panel analysis of known disease-causing nuclear- or mitochondrial genes coding for mitochondria-related proteins. due to advances in gs, the importance of long non-coding rna (lncrna) as functional contributors to the pathophysiology of md is being unveiled. a limited number of studies have thus far reported the importance of lncrnas in relation to md causation and progression, and we are entering a new area of attention for clinical geneticists in specific rare malignancies. this commentary provides an overview of what is known about the role of lncrnas as genetic and molecular contributors to disease pathophysiology and highlights an unmet need for a deeper understanding of mitochondrial dysfunction in serious human disease burdens. non-coding rna eng 2024 Nov Unknown Kamps Rick, Robinson Emma Louise department of translational genomics, school for mental health and neuroscience (mhens), maastricht university, p.o. box 616, 6200 md maastricht, the netherlands., department of medicine, division of cardiology, university of colorado anschutz medical campus, aurora, co 80045, usa. non-coding rna non-coding rna 2311-553X 3.6 GENETICS & HEREDITY|Q2|57/191 0-10

29 47 fluorescent chemosensors in the creation of a commercially available continuous glucose monitor. fully automated insulin delivery (i.e., an artificial pancreas) would revolutionize diabetes disease management, minimize negative secondary disease outcomes, and simultaneously reduce health care costs and system burdens. continuous glucose monitoring (cgm) is an essential aspect of the artificial pancreas. abiotic fluorescent chemosensors play a key role in generating long-lived cgm sensors for this purpose. in this perspective, we detail our initial discoveries of chemosensors for saccharides, as well as the development and advancement of bis((<i>o</i>-aminomethylphenyl)boronic acid)anthracene-based sensors for commercial use. while a few companies have sought to bring a copolymerized diboronic acid cgm sensor to the market, senseonics is the only one, to date, to have done so. in this case, the system has been approved in the u.s. and europe to provide accurate cgm for up to 365 days with a single sensor and can be integrated directly with an insulin pump, bringing an artificial pancreas one step closer to realization. acs sensors eng 2024 Nov Unknown Czarnik Anthony W, James Tony D department of chemistry, university of nevada, reno, reno, nevada 89511, united states., department of chemistry, university of bath, blaverton down, bath ba2 7ay, united kingdom. acs sensors acs sensors 2379-3694 2379-3694 8.2 8.4 NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY|Q1|29/140 0-10

31 52 self-assembly, cytocompatibility, and interactions of desmopressin with sodium polystyrene sulfonate. peptide-polymer systems hold strong potential for applications in nanotherapeutics. desmopressin, a synthetic analogue of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin, may serve as a valuable case of study in this context since it is a first-line treatment for disorders affecting water homeostasis, including diabetes insipidus. it also has an established use as a hemostatic agent in von willebrand disease, and recently, its repurposing has been suggested as a neoadjuvant in the treatment of certain types of cancer. despite its well-documented clinical uses, studies on the supramolecular organization of desmopressin and its association with polymers remain scarce, limiting the therapeutic benefits of these nanostructured arrays. here, we investigate the self-assembly of desmopressin and its association with sodium polystyrene sulphonate (napss), a potassium-binding polymer used to treat hyperkalemia. using structural techniques such as small-angle x-ray scattering (saxs), cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-tem), and atomic force microscopy combined with infrared nanospectroscopy (afm-ir), we identified that desmopressin associates with napss to form hybrid fibrillar nanoassemblies characterized by β-turn enriched domains and the appearance of β-sheet content. <i>in vitro</i> cytotoxicity assays conducted on breast cancer cell lines mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 showed that napss/desmopressin complexes are well-tolerated by the non-metastatic mcf-7 cells while displaying inhibitory effects against the metastatic mda-mb-231 cells. the findings presented here, which demonstrate the successful association between two clinically validated drugs and the ability of the hybrid matrix to modulate cell interactions, potentially contribute to the design of peptide-polymer therapeutic systems. soft matter eng 2024 Nov Experimental Study Caliari Ana B, Bicev Renata N, da Silva Caroline C, de Souza Sinval E G, da Silva Marta G, Souza Louise E A, de Mello Lucas R, Hamley Ian W, Motta Guacyara, Degrouard Jéril, Tresset Guillaume, Quaresma Alexandre J C, Nakaie Clovis R, da Silva Emerson R departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., department of chemistry, university of reading, reading rg6 6ad, uk., departamento de bioquímica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04044-020, brazil., université paris-saclay, cnrs, laboratoire de physique des solides, 91405 orsay, france., université paris-saclay, cnrs, laboratoire de physique des solides, 91405 orsay, france., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br., departamento de biofísica, universidade federal de são paulo, são paulo 04062-000, brazil. er.silva@unifesp.br. soft matter soft matter 1744-683X 1744-6848 2.9 3.0 POLYMER SCIENCE|Q2|42/94 0-10

37 61 obese male zucker rats show basilar dendritic retraction in the medial prefrontal cortex. obesity, a prevalent disorder, predisposes individuals to metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and high blood pressure. obesity has been investigated in various organisms that display genetic, high-fat, and high-carbohydrate diet (hfcd)-induced obesity. recent studies have found that both male and female zucker rats, which are genetically obese, exhibit alterations in dendritic arborization of neurons in certain structures of the central nervous system. therefore, the present study aimed to analyze dendritic arborization and dendritic spine density of pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mpfc) of obese adult male zucker rats using the golgi-cox method and sholl analysis. obese male zucker rats exhibit increased body weight and high concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol. analysis of mpfc pyramidal neurons in these rats revealed basilar dendritic retraction at a medium distance from the soma, in addition to a reduction in total basilar dendritic length, without any changes in dendritic spine density. these findings are consistent with previous reports, indicating that changes in dendritic retraction may occur as a result of the leptin receptor mutation itself, in addition to the reduction in dendritic arborization observed in other regions of the central nervous system in rats. furthermore, we suggest the possibility that biological processes modulated by the mpfc, such as foraging and social behavior, are also affected. heliyon eng 2024 Nov Unknown Utrilla Ramos Vanessa Abigail, Mendoza Valero Martha Denice, Robles Soto Ricardo, Domínguez Juárez Lesly, Ojeda Nani Valentina, Sandoval Romero María Constelación, Silva Gómez Adriana Berenice laboratorio de neurofisiología experimental, facultad de ciencias biológicas, benemérita universidad autónoma de puebla, edificio bio1, ciudad universitaria, cp 72570, puebla, puebla, mexico., maestría en ciencias biológicas, facultad de ciencias biológicas, benemérita universidad autónoma de puebla, edificio bio1, ciudad universitaria, cp 72570, puebla, puebla, mexico., maestría en ciencias biológicas, facultad de ciencias biológicas, benemérita universidad autónoma de puebla, edificio bio1, ciudad universitaria, cp 72570, puebla, puebla, mexico., laboratorio de neurofisiología experimental, facultad de ciencias biológicas, benemérita universidad autónoma de puebla, edificio bio1, ciudad universitaria, cp 72570, puebla, puebla, mexico., laboratorio de neurofisiología experimental, facultad de ciencias biológicas, benemérita universidad autónoma de puebla, edificio bio1, ciudad universitaria, cp 72570, puebla, puebla, mexico., maestría en ciencias biológicas, facultad de ciencias biológicas, benemérita universidad autónoma de puebla, edificio bio1, ciudad universitaria, cp 72570, puebla, puebla, mexico., laboratorio de neurofisiología experimental, facultad de ciencias biológicas, benemérita universidad autónoma de puebla, edificio bio1, ciudad universitaria, cp 72570, puebla, puebla, mexico. heliyon heliyon 2405-8440 3.4 3.9 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES|Q1|28/134 0-10

40 64 conductive polyphenol microneedles coupled with electroacupuncture to accelerate wound healing and alleviate depressive-like behaviors in diabetes. inflammation and depression are serious complications of diabetes that interact to form a feedback loop and may hinder diabetic wound healing. they share a common pathophysiological basis of abnormal interactions between diabetic wounds and the brain. here, we propose a strategy combining electroacupuncture (ea) stimulation of the dazhui acupoint (gv14) with polyphenol-mediated conductive hydrogel microneedles to promote diabetic wound healing and alleviate depression through local wound-brain interactions. the conductive microneedles comprised methacrylated gelatin, dopamine (da), da-modified poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), and <i>lycium barbarum</i> polysaccharide. ea at gv14 activated the vagus-adrenal axis to inhibit systemic inflammation while da coupled electrical signals for long-term inhibition of local wound inflammation. ea at gv14 was also found to elevate 5-hydroxytryptamine levels in rats with diabetic wounds, consequently mitigating depressive-like behaviors. additionally, the polyphenol-mediated conductive hydrogel microneedles, and coupled with ea stimulation promoted healing of wound tissue and peripheral nerves. this strategy regulated both local and systemic inflammation while alleviating depressive-like behaviors in diabetic rats, providing a new clinical perspective for the treatment of diabetes-related and emotional disorders. bioactive materials eng 2025 Feb Unknown Hou Yue, Guo Xiaochuan, Ran Jinhui, Lu Xiong, Xie Chaoming institute of biomedical engineering, college of medicine, southwest jiaotong university, chengdu, sichuan, 610031, china., department of rehabilitation medicine, affiliated hospital of southwest jiaotong university, the third people's hospital of chengdu, chengdu, sichuan, 610031, china., institute of biomedical engineering, college of medicine, southwest jiaotong university, chengdu, sichuan, 610031, china., institute of biomedical engineering, college of medicine, southwest jiaotong university, chengdu, sichuan, 610031, china., institute of biomedical engineering, college of medicine, southwest jiaotong university, chengdu, sichuan, 610031, china. bioactive materials bioact mater 2452-199X 18.0 18.2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, BIOMATERIALS|Q1|1/53 10-20

42 66 decreased expression of <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> promotes apoptosis through the hippo-yap1 signaling pathway leading to diabetic erectile dysfunction. long non-coding rnas (lncrnas) primarily engage with mrna, dna, proteins, and micrornas (mirnas), thereby regulating gene expression; however, its specific role in diabetic erectile dysfunction (ded) has not been studied. this study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> in ded. the differential target gene <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> was identified in the penile tissues of rats with ded through bioinformatics analyses. a kegg signaling pathway enrichment analysis suggested a potential association between <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> and the hippo-yap1 pathway. real-time fluorescent quantitative pcr (rt-qpcr) results indicated a significantly lower expression of <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> in the penile tissue of ded rats compared to the control group. western blot and immunohistochemistry (ihc) staining results demonstrated significantly elevated protein expression levels of yap1, caspase3, bax, and bcl-2, with a decreased bcl-2/bax ratio. cck8 cell viability results showed a significant decrease in cell viability in the high glucose group at 4 days of modeling, and compared with the normal glucose group, rt-qpcr results showed that the expression of <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> in the high glucose group in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (huvecs) was significantly reduced; western blot results showed that the protein expression of yap1, cleaved-caspase3 and bax was significantly up-regulated, and the protein expression of bcl-2 was significantly down-regulated in the high glucose group. compared with the empty vector group, rt-qpcr results after transfection of si<i>lncrna crym-as1</i> showed that the expression of <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> was down-regulated, the mrna and protein expression of yap1, caspase3, cleaved-caspase3, bax, and bcl-2 were significantly up-regulated, and the bcl-2/bax ratio decreased. flow cytometry results showed that the apoptosis rate of huvecs increased after interference. low expression of <i>lncrna crym-as1</i> may activate the hippo-yap1 signaling pathway to regulate apoptosis in huvecs, leading to ed development, and the discovery of new target genes may provide new therapeutic targets to regulate diabetic erectile disfunction. american journal of clinical and experimental urology eng 2024 No Data Unknown Zhang Ze-Bo, Chen Ying, Huang Zhan-Sen, Du Zi-Jun, Wang Wei, Tang Bo-Wen, Yuan Su-Shun, Chen Di-Ling, Zhu Shu-Guang, Chen Jun department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., guangzhou laboratory no. 9 xingdaohuanbei road, guangzhou international bio island, guangzhou 510005, guangdong, p. r. china., department of hepatic surgery and liver transplantation center, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china., department of infertility and sexual medicine, the third affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university guangzhou 510630, guangdong, p. r. china. american journal of clinical and experimental urology am j clin exp urol 2330-1910 2330-1910 1.5 1.5 UROLOGY & NEPHROLOGY|Q3|78/126 0-10
43 67 transmembrane prostatic acid phosphatase: a therapeutic target in advanced prostate cancer. prostate cancer (pca) is the most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer death in american men. most patients with metastatic disease respond initially to androgen deprivation therapy (adt), but almost inevitably progress to castration resistant prostate cancer (crpc). identification of markers and drivers of mcrpc that (a) represent a progenitor-type cancer cell population (b) persist in castration resistant disease (c) are actionable targets expressed on the cell surface, and (d) are induced by hypoxia, is required to facilitate the development of novel targeted therapies. we identified prostatic acid phosphatase (pap), particularly the transmembrane form (tmpap), as one such potential target. pap is both a phosphatase and a 5'ectonucleotidase that generates adenosine. we herein demonstrate that pap is expressed early on during fetal development and persists in castration-resistant disease. the vcap and vcap-enzalutamide-resistant pca cell lines express secretory (spap) and tmpap. androgens downregulate while hypoxia upregulates pap expression. in vivo, pap persists in hypoxic areas of castration-resistant tumors. knockdown of pap decreases vcap migration and colony formation. finally, treatment of vcap tumor-bearing mice with inhibitors of adenosine receptors reduces tumor growth. this data demonstrates that tmpap is a novel therapeutic target in advanced prostate cancer. american journal of clinical and experimental urology eng 2024 No Data Experimental Study Kirschenbaum Alexander, Cheung Pamela, Rajagopalan Vinodh, Yao Shen, Milgrim Lucas, Kyprianou Natasha, Levine Alice C department of urology, icahn school of medicine at mount sinai new york, ny 10029, the united states., division of endocrinology, diabetes and bone diseases, department of medicine, icahn school of medicine at mount sinai new york, ny 10029, the united states., division of endocrinology, diabetes and bone diseases, department of medicine, icahn school of medicine at mount sinai new york, ny 10029, the united states., division of endocrinology, diabetes and bone diseases, department of medicine, icahn school of medicine at mount sinai new york, ny 10029, the united states., division of endocrinology, diabetes and bone diseases, department of medicine, icahn school of medicine at mount sinai new york, ny 10029, the united states., department of urology, icahn school of medicine at mount sinai new york, ny 10029, the united states., division of endocrinology, diabetes and bone diseases, department of medicine, icahn school of medicine at mount sinai new york, ny 10029, the united states. american journal of clinical and experimental urology am j clin exp urol 2330-1910 2330-1910 1.5 1.5 UROLOGY & NEPHROLOGY|Q3|78/126 0-10

52 81 mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential of astilbin and apigenin in diabetic cardiomyopathy. diabetic cardiomyopathy (dcm) represents a critical complication of diabetes mellitus (dm), characterized by structural and functional changes in the myocardium independent of coronary artery disease or hypertension. emerging evidence highlights the significant roles of phytochemicals, particularly astilbin and apigenin, in modulating key molecular pathways implicated in dcm. this review synthesizes current mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential of these compounds, focusing on their interactions with amp-activated protein kinase (ampk), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (ppars), o-linked n-acetylglucosamine (o-glcnac), sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (sglt2), protein kinase c (pkc), nuclear factor kappa b (nf-κb), mitogen-activated protein kinase (mapk), and c-jun n-terminal kinase (jnk) pathways. astilbin and apigenin have demonstrated the ability to improve cardiac function, mitigate oxidative stress, and reduce inflammatory responses in diabetic conditions. by activating ampk and ppars, these flavonoids enhance glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation, contributing to improved metabolic homeostasis. their inhibition of o-glcnacylation, sglt2 activity, and pkc signaling further attenuates hyperglycemia-induced cellular damage. additionally, suppression of nf-κb, mapk, and jnk pathways by astilbin and apigenin results in reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine production and apoptotic cell death. collectively, these interactions position astilbin and apigenin as promising therapeutic agents for ameliorating dcm, offering novel avenues for treatment strategies aimed at modulating multiple pathogenic pathways. heliyon eng 2024 Nov Review Dhiman Sachin, Dhankhar Sanchit, Garg Anjali, Rohilla Manni, Saini Monika, Singh Thakur Gurjeet, Chauhan Samrat, Selim Samy, Al Jaouni Soad K, Yasmin Sabina, Begum Naseem, Alshahrani Aziza, Ansari Mohammad Yousuf department of pharmacology, chitkara college of pharmacy, chitkara university, rajpura, punjab, 140401, india., department of pharmacology, chitkara college of pharmacy, chitkara university, rajpura, punjab, 140401, india., department of pharmacology, chitkara college of pharmacy, chitkara university, rajpura, punjab, 140401, india., department of pharmacology, chitkara college of pharmacy, chitkara university, rajpura, punjab, 140401, india., swami vivekanand college of pharmacy, ram nagar, banur, punjab, 140601, india., department of pharmacology, chitkara college of pharmacy, chitkara university, rajpura, punjab, 140401, india., department of pharmacology, chitkara college of pharmacy, chitkara university, rajpura, punjab, 140401, india., department of clinical laboratory sciences, college of applied medical sciences, jouf university, sakaka, 72388, saudi arabia., department of hematology/oncology, yousef abdulatif jameel scientific chair of prophetic medicine application, faculty of medicine, king abdulaziz university, jeddah, 21589, saudi arabia., department of pharmaceutical chemistry, college of pharmacy, king khalid university, abha, 62529, saudi arabia., department of clinical laboratory sciences, college of applied medical sciences, king khalid university, abha, 62529, saudi arabia., department of pharmacology, college of pharmacy, king khalid university, abha, 62529, saudi arabia., m.m. college of pharmacy, maharishi markandeshwar (deemed to be university), mullana, ambala, haryana, 133206, india. heliyon heliyon 2405-8440 3.4 3.9 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES|Q1|28/134 0-10

56 108 characterization of immortalized human podocytes infected with lentivirus as an <i>in vitro</i> model of viral infection-associated podocytopathy. a large number of studies have shown the association of kidney disease with viral infections in the body. viral infections cause kidney injury in two manners, the systemic inflammation (cytokine storm) and the direct infection of kidney cells. concerning direct viral infection of podocytes, the mechanism underlying virus-induced podocyte injury remains largely unknown and requires effective experimental models to facilitate its study. here, we performed molecular characterization of immortalized human podocyte cell line (hpc) infected with lentivirus by rna-seq. bioinformatics analysis revealed a strong innate immune response in the cells, including interferon production and signaling. meanwhile, activations of ferroptosis pathway and tnf-alpha signaling were also found, consistent with an impaired viability of the cells. lentiviral infection also upregulated expression of apol1 as observed in patients with hiv associated nephropathy (hivan) and diabetic nephropathy (dn). interestingly, when the lentiviral infected cells were treated with adriamycin (adr), the adr-associated signaling pathways were not interfered and remained activated as that in the cells treated with adr only, suggesting that the virus and adr have distinct mechanisms in damaging podocytes. thus, the lentivirus-infected hpc cells represent a useful <i>in vitro</i> model of viral infection-associated podocytopathy. american journal of clinical and experimental immunology eng 2024 No Data Experimental Study Yu Peng, Jin Xi, Huang Weijun, Wang Jingjing, Zhang Sipang, Ren Lu, Zhang Haitao, Shi Shaolin national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china., national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china., national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china., national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china., national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china., national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china., national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china., national clinical research center for kidney diseases, jinling hospital, medical school of nanjing university nanjing 210002, jiangsu, china. american journal of clinical and experimental immunology am j clin exp immuno 2164-7712 1.4 1.7 IMMUNOLOGY|Q4|157/181 0-10

61 116 dengue and sars-cov-2 co-circulation and overlapping infections in hospitalized patients. since its emergence in 2019, coronavirus disease (covid-19) has spread worldwide and consumed public health resources. however, the world still has to address the burdens of other infectious diseases that continue to thrive. countries in the tropics and neotropics, including brazil, are affected by annual, cyclic dengue epidemics. little is known about the impact of subsequent infections between denv and sars-cov-2. our study was performed on 400 serum samples collected from laboratory-confirmed covid-19 patients between january and june 2021, months historically known for denv outbreaks in brazil. the samples were tested by serology and molecular assays for the presence of denv and other arboviruses. while no denv pcr results were detected, 6% were denv igm-positive, and 0.25% were denv ns1-positive according to elisa. igm antibodies were isolated by chromatography, and 62.5% of the samples were positive for neutralizing antibodies (frnt<sub>80</sub>) against denv igm, suggesting a recent infection. we also observed increased il-10, tnf-α, and il-1β levels in patients with overlapping sars-cov-2/denv infections. intriguingly, diabetes was the only relevant comorbidity (p=0.046). high rates of hospitalization (94.9%) and mortality (50%) were found, with a significant increase in invasive mechanical ventilatory support (86.96%) in sars-cov-2/denv- infected patients, suggesting an impact on patient clinical outcomes. when analyzing previous exposure to denv, secondary dengue patients infected with sars-cov-2 more frequently presented with dyspnea and respiratory distress, longer hospital and intensive care unit (icu) stays (4 and 20.29 days, respectively) and a higher mortality rate (60%). however, a greater proportion of patients with primary denv infection had fever and cough than patients with secondary dengue (87.50% vs. 33.33%, p=0.027 for fever). our data demonstrate that differentiating between the two diseases is a great concern for tropical countries and should be explored to improve patient management. frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology eng 2024 No Data Unknown Santos Thayza M I L, Versiani Alice F, Campos Guilherme R F, Moraes Marilia M, Parra Maisa C P, Mistrao Natalia F B, Negri Andreia F, Bagno Flavia F, Galves Marina G, Moreno Camila M, Da Fonseca Flavio G, Estofolete Cassia F, Vasilakis Nikos, Nogueira Mauricio L laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., department of pathology, university of texas medical branch, galveston, tx, united states., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., centro de tecnologia em vacinas, universidade federal de minas gerais, belo horizonte, brazil., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., centro de tecnologia em vacinas, universidade federal de minas gerais, belo horizonte, brazil., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil., department of pathology, university of texas medical branch, galveston, tx, united states., laboratório de pesquisa em virologia, departamento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, faculdade de medicina de são josé do rio preto, são josé do rio preto, brazil. frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology front cell infect mi 2235-2988 2235-2988 4.6 5.1 MICROBIOLOGY|Q1|37/161 0-10

66 123 spinal afferent neurons: emerging regulators of energy balance and metabolism. recent advancements in neurophysiology have challenged the long-held paradigm that vagal afferents serve as the primary conduits for physiological signals governing food intake and energy expenditure. an expanding body of evidence now illuminates the critical role of spinal afferent neurons in these processes, necessitating a reevaluation of our understanding of energy homeostasis regulation. this comprehensive review synthesizes cutting-edge research elucidating the multifaceted functions of spinal afferent neurons in maintaining metabolic equilibrium. once predominantly associated with nociception and pathological states, these neurons are now recognized as integral components in the intricate network regulating feeding behavior, nutrient sensing, and energy balance. we explore the role of spinal afferents in food intake and how these neurons contribute to satiation signaling and meal termination through complex gut-brain axis pathways. the review also delves into the developing evidence that spinal afferents play a crucial role in energy expenditure regulation. we explore the ability of these neuronal fibers to carry signals that can modulate feeding behavior as well as adaptive thermogenesis in adipose tissue influencing basal metabolic rate, and thereby contributing to overall energy balance. this comprehensive analysis not only challenges existing paradigms but also opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions suggesting potential targets for treating metabolic disorders. in conclusion, this review highlights the need for a shift in our understanding of energy homeostasis, positioning spinal afferent neurons as key players in the intricate web of metabolic regulation. frontiers in molecular neuroscience eng 2024 No Data Review Jarrah Mohammad, Tasabehji Dana, Fraer Aviva, Mokadem Mohamad department of internal medicine, roy j. and lucille a. carver college of medicine, university of iowa, iowa city, ia, united states., department of internal medicine, roy j. and lucille a. carver college of medicine, university of iowa, iowa city, ia, united states., department of internal medicine, roy j. and lucille a. carver college of medicine, university of iowa, iowa city, ia, united states., department of internal medicine, roy j. and lucille a. carver college of medicine, university of iowa, iowa city, ia, united states. frontiers in molecular neuroscience front mol neurosci 1662-5099 1662-5099 3.5 4.4 NEUROSCIENCES|Q2|109/310 0-10
67 124 facile synthesis of corticiolic acid-a bioactive pharmacophore from natural sources. fungal strains have inspired us to find the untapped sources of secondary metabolites. corticiolic acid (ca, 2,4-dihydroxy-6-pentadecylbenzoic acid; from fungus, <i>hapalopilus mutans</i>) is one of the core active scaffolds in natural compounds such as aquastatin-a, b, & c. ca can also be isolated from the plant <i>lysimachia japonica</i>. ca is a selective inhibitor of ptb1b, a crucial biomarker for anti-diabetic activity. herein, we report the total synthesis of corticiolic acid achieved <i>via</i> the 9-bbn-based reductive suzuki-miyaura coupling of aryl bromide and pentadecane, a key reaction in this strategy. further, this approach has been explored for the protection-free synthesis of corticiolic acid. the improved synthesis is short, requires mild reaction conditions, and avoids the use of hydrogenation and pyrophoric reagents. further, the reaction is scalable and does not require protection-deprotection steps. preliminary studies on cancer cells indicated that corticiolic acid and cordol significantly inhibited the proliferation of hepg2, n2a, and caco-2 cancer cells. rsc advances eng 2024 Nov Unknown Deevi Sunil Kumar, Anilkumar Bhadra, Pinto Priyanka Gladys, Ramani Prasanna, Vishnuprasad Chethala N, Shanmugaraju Sankarasekaran, Pandurangan Nanjan dhanvanthri lab, department of chemistry, amrita school of physical sciences, amrita vishwa vidyapeetham coimbatore-641112 tamil nadu india n_pandurangan@cb.amrita.edu., dhanvanthri lab, department of chemistry, amrita school of physical sciences, amrita vishwa vidyapeetham coimbatore-641112 tamil nadu india n_pandurangan@cb.amrita.edu., ayurveda biology and holistic nutrition, the university of trans-disciplinary health sciences and technology bangalore-560064 india, drcnvp@tdu.edu.in., dhanvanthri lab, department of chemistry, amrita school of physical sciences, amrita vishwa vidyapeetham coimbatore-641112 tamil nadu india n_pandurangan@cb.amrita.edu., ayurveda biology and holistic nutrition, the university of trans-disciplinary health sciences and technology bangalore-560064 india, drcnvp@tdu.edu.in., department of chemistry, indian institute of technology palakkad palakkad 678557 kerala india shanmugam@iitpkd.ac.in., dhanvanthri lab, department of chemistry, amrita school of physical sciences, amrita vishwa vidyapeetham coimbatore-641112 tamil nadu india n_pandurangan@cb.amrita.edu. rsc advances rsc adv 2046-2069 3.9 3.9 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY|Q2|79/230 0-10

84 151 bariatric and endo-bariatric interventions for diabetes: what is the current evidence? bariatric interventions have shown the best therapeutic benefits in individuals with obesity. they can be classified into surgical procedures (bariatric/metabolic surgery) and endoscopic procedures. common surgical procedures include sleeve gastrectomy, roux-en-y gastric bypass, bilio-pancreatic diversion with or without duodenal switch and stomach intestinal pylorus sparing surgery. endoscopic procedures include intragastric balloons, transpyloric shuttle, endoscopic gastroplasties, aspiration therapy, duodenal mucosal resurfacing, duodeno-jejunal bypass liner, gastro-duodeno-jejunal bypass and incisionless magnetic anastomosis system among others. however, these procedures are limited by lack of wide availability, high costs, immediate and long-term complications and poor acceptability in some regions. weight re-gain is a common concern and revisional metabolic surgery is often required. appropriate pre-operative evaluation and correction of nutritional deficiencies post-surgery are very important. the most appropriate procedure for a person would depend on multiple factors like the intended magnitude of weight-loss, comorbidities and surgical fitness, as well as choice of the patient. recently, glucagon-like insulinotropic peptide-1 receptor agonists (glp) and the glp-1/gastric inhibitory polypeptide co-agonist-tirzepatide have shown remarkable weight loss potential, which is at par with bariatric interventions in some patients. how far these can help in avoiding invasive bariatric procedures in near future remains to be explored. an updated and comprehensive clinical review by he <i>et al</i> in the recent issue of <i>world journal of diabetes</i> address has addressed the avenues and challenges of currently available bariatric surgeries which will enable clinicians to make better decisions in their practice, including their applicability in special populations like the elderly and pediatric age groups, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and non-diabetics. world journal of diabetes eng 2024 Nov Review Mondal Sunetra, Ambrose Fistus Vanessa, Pappachan Joseph M department of endocrinology, nrs medical college and hospital, kolkata 700014, west bengal, india., department of medicine, royal preston hospital, lancashire teaching hospitals nhs trust, preston pr2 9ht, lancashire, united kingdom., department of endocrinology and metabolism, lancashire teaching hospitals nhs trust, preston pr2 9ht, lancashire, united kingdom. drpappachan@yahoo.co.in. world journal of diabetes world j diabetes 1948-9358 4.2 4.2 ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM|Q1|40/186 0-10

86 153 diabetes and obesity: a debate on bariatric interventions and its implications. in this editorial, we comment on an article by tang <i>et al</i> published in the <i>world journal of diabetes</i>. obesity and diabetes are two pathological situations that are intrinsically related. neither lifestyle changes nor pharmacological treatments have achieved diabetes remission. from this perspective, bariatric surgery has been widely used as an approach for weight loss in obese patients and as a strategy to promote metabolic modulation. the main effects of bariatric surgery involve direct action in improving cardiovascular function and endothelial function and reducing insulin resistance, leading to diabetes remission in the short term following surgery. in this context, it has been observed that hormones from the gastrointestinal tract and endothelium play a prominent role in this process. by reversing endothelial dysfunction, it is possible to balance pro-inflammatory cytokine production, improving the availability of nitric oxide and inhibiting vascular oxidative stress. furthermore, it can be considered an efficient anti-inflammatory strategy, alleviating interferon-gamma-mediated adipose tissue inflammation. the current challenge must be to unravel the pathophysiological mechanisms and potential targets for treating metabolic diseases. world journal of diabetes eng 2024 Nov Unknown Tatmatsu-Rocha José C, Lima da Silva Marcos R college of medicine, postgraduate program in physiotherapy and functionality, department of physiotherapy, federal university of ceará-ufc, fortaleza 60430-450, ceará, brazil. tatmatsu@ufc.br., college of medicine, postgraduate program in physiotherapy and functionality, department of physiotherapy, federal university of ceará-ufc, fortaleza 60430-450, ceará, brazil. world journal of diabetes world j diabetes 1948-9358 4.2 4.2 ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM|Q1|40/186 0-10
87 154 autophagy-dependent ferroptosis may play a critical role in early stages of diabetic retinopathy. diabetic retinopathy (dr), as one of the most common and significant microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (dm), continues to elude effective targeted treatment for vision loss despite ongoing enrichment of the understanding of its pathogenic mechanisms from perspectives such as inflammation and oxidative stress. recent studies have indicated that characteristic neuroglial degeneration induced by dm occurs before the onset of apparent microvascular lesions. in order to comprehensively grasp the early-stage pathological changes of dr, the retinal neurovascular unit (nvu) will become a crucial focal point for future research into the occurrence and progression of dr. based on existing evidence, ferroptosis, a form of cell death regulated by processes like ferritinophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy, mediates apoptosis in retinal nvu components, including pericytes and ganglion cells. autophagy-dependent ferroptosis-related factors, including becn1 and fabp4, may serve as both biomarkers for dr occurrence and development and potentially crucial targets for future effective dr treatments. the aforementioned findings present novel perspectives for comprehending the mechanisms underlying the early-stage pathological alterations in dr and open up innovative avenues for investigating supplementary therapeutic strategies. world journal of diabetes eng 2024 Nov Unknown Sun Wen-Jie, An Xue-Dong, Zhang Yue-Hong, Tang Shan-Shan, Sun Yu-Ting, Kang Xiao-Min, Jiang Lin-Lin, Zhao Xue-Fei, Gao Qing, Ji Hang-Yu, Lian Feng-Mei department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, fangshan hospital of beijing university of chinese medicine, beijing 102400, china., department of endocrinology, changchun university of chinese medicine, changchun 130117, jilin province, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china., department of endocrinology, guang'anmen hospital, beijing 100053, china. lfm565@sohu.com. world journal of diabetes world j diabetes 1948-9358 4.2 4.2 ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM|Q1|40/186 0-10

92 159 guidelines and consensus: jejunoileostomy for diabetes mellitus-surgical norms and expert consensus (2023 version). diabetes mellitus (dm) is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose caused by insufficient absolute or relative secretion of insulin. once diagnosed, patients need long-term treatment with hypoglycemic drugs. currently, the existing first-line hypoglycemic drugs do not provide effective treatment for dm and its complications. in the past, the first generation and the second generation of weight loss surgery, such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastric surgery, had strict body mass index requirements. moreover, post-surgery, patients are prone to fluctuating hypoglycemia, gastroesophageal reflux, and dumping syndrome. hence, the curative effect of this type of surgery was compromised to a certain extent. jejunoileostomy is a third-generation surgery for patients with dm, which has been shown to improve glucose and lipid metabolism, without changing the original gastrointestinal tract structure. different from previous weight loss surgeries, jejunoileostomy has been clinically observed to delay the development of dm-related complications. additionally, the postoperative complications are mild and do not affect the patient's quality of life. based on our clinical observations from multi-center large samples, our team developed a consensus on the operative period and perioperative management of jejunoileostomy as a reference for clinical researchers. world journal of diabetes eng 2024 Nov Unknown Shen Ji-Wei, Ji Chun-Yong, Fang Xue-Dong, Yang Bo, Zhang Tian, Li Zheng-Cai, Li Hua-Zhi, Liu Zhi-Yi, Tang Jun, Liao Chuan-Wen, Lu Ji-Zhou, Yang Xuan, Zhang Xin-Guo department of general surgery, heilongjiang provincial people's hospital, harbin 150036, heilongjiang province, china., department of general surgery, zhengzhou central hospital, zhengzhou 450007, henan province, china., department of general surgery, the third affiliated hospital of jilin university, changchun 130033, jilin province, china., department of general surgery, the eighth medical center of the general hospital of the people's liberation army, beijing 100091, china., department of general surgery, 242 affiliated hospital of shenyang medical college, shenyang 110034, liaoning province, china., department of general surgery, jingmen petrochemical general hospital in hubei province, jingmen 448001, hubei province, china., department of general surgery, beijing chuiyangliu hospital affiliated to tsinghua university, beijing 100022, china., department of general surgery, the fourth hospital of jilin university, changchun 130011, jilin province, china., department of general surgery, the first people's hospital of xiangtan, xiangtan 411101, hunan province, china., department of general surgery, jiangxi first people's hospital, nanchang 332000, jiangxi province, china., department of general surgery, the third people's hospital of gansu province, lanzhou 730020, gansu province, china., department of general thoracic surgery, liaoning electric power center hospital, shenyang 110403, liaoning province, china., department of general surgery, the third medical center of the general hospital of the people's liberation army, beijing 100039, china. 13520495188@139.com. world journal of diabetes world j diabetes 1948-9358 4.2 4.2 ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM|Q1|40/186 0-10

94 165 bacteriophages and their potential for treatment of metabolic diseases. recent advances highlight the role of gut virome, particularly phageome, in metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, and hyperlipidemia. while alterations in gut bacteria are well-documented, emerging evidence suggests that changes in gut viruses also contribute to these disorders. bacteriophages, the most abundant gut viruses, influence bacterial populations through their lytic and lysogenic cycles, potentially modulating the gut ecosystem and metabolic pathways. phage therapy, previously overshadowed by antibiotics, is experiencing renewed interest due to rising antibiotic resistance. it offers a novel approach to precisely edit the gut microbiota, with promising applications in metabolic diseases. in this review, we summarize recent discoveries about gut virome in metabolic disease patients, review preclinical and clinical studies of phage therapy on metabolic diseases as well as the breakthroughs and currently faced problems and concerns. journal of diabetes eng 2024 Nov Review Deng Youpeng, Jiang Shouwei, Duan Hanyu, Shao Haonan, Duan Yi department of infectious diseases, the first affiliated hospital of ustc, division of life sciences and medicine, university of science and technology of china, hefei, china., department of infectious diseases, the first affiliated hospital of ustc, division of life sciences and medicine, university of science and technology of china, hefei, china., center for advanced interdisciplinary science and biomedicine of ihm, division of life sciences and medicine, university of science and technology of china, hefei, china., center for advanced interdisciplinary science and biomedicine of ihm, division of life sciences and medicine, university of science and technology of china, hefei, china., department of infectious diseases, the first affiliated hospital of ustc, division of life sciences and medicine, university of science and technology of china, hefei, china. journal of diabetes j diabetes 1753-0393 1753-0407 3.0 3.5 ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM|Q2|88/186 0-10

99 175 effect of a sars-cov-2 protein fragment on the amyloidogenic propensity of human islet amyloid polypeptide. infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (sars-cov-2) and the onset of covid-19 have been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. while a variety of mechanisms may ultimately be responsible for the onset of type 2 diabetes under these circumstances, one mechanism that has been postulated involves the increased aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hiapp) through direct interaction with sars-cov-2 viral proteins. previous computational studies investigating this possibility revealed that a nine-residue peptide fragment known as sk9 (sfyvysrvk) from the sars-cov-2 envelope protein can stabilize the native conformation of hiapp<sub>1-37</sub> by interacting with the n-terminal region of amylin. one of the areas particularly stabilized through this interaction encompasses residues 15-28 of amylin. given these findings, we investigated whether sk9 could interact with short amyloidogenic sequences derived from this region of amylin. here, we employ docking studies, molecular dynamics simulations, and biophysical techniques to provide theoretical as well as direct experimental evidence that sk9 can interact with hiapp<sub>12-18</sub> and hiapp<sub>20-29</sub> peptides. furthermore, we demonstrate that sk9 not only can interact with these sequences but also serves to prevent the self-assembly of these amyloidogenic peptides. in striking contrast, we also show that sk9 has little effect on the amyloidogenic propensity of full-length amylin. these findings are contrary to previous published simulations involving sk9 and hiapp<sub>1-37</sub>. such observations may assist in clarifying potential mechanisms of the sars-cov-2 interaction with hiapp and its relevance to the onset of type 2 diabetes in the setting of covid-19. acs chemical neuroscience eng 2024 Nov Unknown Bilog Marvin, Cersosimo Jennifer, Vigil Iliana, Desamero Ruel Z B, Profit Adam A phd programs in chemistry and biochemistry, the graduate center of the city university of new york, new york, new york 10016, united states., phd programs in chemistry and biochemistry, the graduate center of the city university of new york, new york, new york 10016, united states., department of chemistry, york college of the city university of new york, jamaica, new york 11451, united states., phd programs in chemistry and biochemistry, the graduate center of the city university of new york, new york, new york 10016, united states., phd programs in chemistry and biochemistry, the graduate center of the city university of new york, new york, new york 10016, united states. acs chemical neuroscience acs chem neurosci 1948-7193 1948-7193 4.1 4.3 NEUROSCIENCES|Q2|80/310 0-10
