In non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), concomitant right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is frequently observed. This study sought to determine the correlation of RV dysfunction with several cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging characteristics in patients with DCM, and the prognostic value of RV dysfunction on all-cause mortality and ventricular arrhythmias (VA) was evaluated.

Consecutive patients with DCM and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (ejection fraction<50%) on CMR were included retrospectively. Left atrial (LA), LV, and RV volumes and function were quantified. RV systolic dysfunction was defined as RVEF<45%. The presence and pattern of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on CMR were assessed visually. Septal midwall LGE was defined as midmyocardial stripe-like or patchy hyperenhancement in the septal segments, and the extent was quantified using the full width at half maximum method. Primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality and VA, including resuscitated cardiac arres of VA alone (HR 6.48 [95% CI 1.83-22.98], P<0.01). There was a trend towards increased mortality when RV dysfunction was present (HR 2.54 [95% CI 0.99-6.57], P=0.05).

Right ventricular dysfunction was predominantly observed in patients with DCM with advanced heart failure and pronounced myocardial remodelling, defined as increased LV and LA dilation and dysfunction and the presence of septal midwall LGE on CMR. During follow-up, RV dysfunction was associated with shorter time to all-cause mortality and ventricular arrhythmic events.

Here, we report the study of DTA-induced proliferation and inflammation in human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaTs) and the associated molecular mechanisms. HaCaTs are a model of the epidermal proliferative state of cells. The pharmacodynamics and mechanism of DTA were studied by western blot, immunofluorescence, apoptosis and proliferation detection, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We confirmed that DTA induced HaCaT autophagy, which, in turn, induced HaCaT senescence and, ultimately, led to cell cycle arrest. DTA also negatively regulated inflammation through the activation of autophagy. This may be one of the mechanisms underlying the action of Datura metel L. preparation used for the treatment of psoriasis.Aryl-cobalamins are a new class of organometallic structural mimics of vitamin B12 designed as potential 'antivitamins B12 '. Here, the first cationic aryl-cobinamides are described, which were synthesized using the newly developed diaryl-iodonium method. The aryl-cobinamides were obtained as pairs of organometallic coordination isomers, the stereo-structure of which was unambiguously assigned based on homo- and heteronuclear NMR spectra. The availability of isomers with axial attachment of the aryl group, either at the 'beta' or at the 'alpha' face of the cobalt-center allowed for an unprecedented comparison of the organometallic reactivity of such pairs. The homolytic gas-phase bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the coordination-isomeric phenyl- and 4-ethylphenyl-cobinamides were determined by ESI-MS threshold CID experiments, furnishing (Co-C sp 2 )-BDEs of 38.4 and 40.6 kcal mol-1 , respectively, for the two β-isomers, and the larger BDEs of 46.6 and 43.8 kcal mol-1 for the corresponding α-isomers. Surprisingly, the observed (Co-C sp 2 )-BDEs of the Coβ -aryl-cobinamides were smaller than the (Co-C sp 3 )-BDE of Coβ -methyl-cobinamide. DFT studies and the magnitudes of the experimental (Co-C sp 2 )-BDEs revealed relevant contributions of non-bonded interactions in aryl-cobinamides, notably steric strain between the aryl and the cobalt-corrin moieties and non-bonded interactions with and among the peripheral sidechains.
The study aimed to explore the cerebral areas with changes in regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) values induced by effective acupuncture on the Taibai (SP3) point.

In the study, 15 healthy right-handed volunteers (seven males and eight females, 20-35years old) were enrolled. The average ages of the subjects were 28.0±4.24years for males and 27.4±3.65years for females. A 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system was used to perform resting-state functional MRI scan after sham and effective acupuncture on the SP3 point. The differences in cerebral ReHo and ALFF values between posteffective acupuncture and postsham acupuncture were compared using the SPM 12 software.

ReHo values of bilateral BA18, cuneus, and BA17, along with BA41, BA22, postcentral gyrus, and BA7 on the right side, were decreased by effective SP3 acupuncture. The ALFF values of bilateral BA 30 and left parahippocampal area were increased, whereas the values of bilateral BA18, BA19, cuneus, posterior cingulate gyrus, and BA7, along with the right superior occipital lobule, postcentral gyrus, and left precuneus, were decreased.

The most dominant cerebral areas affected by SP3 acupuncture were bilateral visual-related cortices (lingual gyrus, cuneus, and calcarine), along with the unilateral postcentral gyrus and superior parietal lobule. These findings may be potential explanations for the available clinical reports concerning the efficacy of SP3 acupuncture. Further clinical and experimental studies on SP3 acupuncture are required.

These are associated with the production of autoantibodies (auto-Abs) against these antigens and the formation of abzymes hydrolysing DNA, MOG, myelin basic protein (MBP) and histones. Immunization of mice with antigens accelerates the development of EAE. This work is the first to analyse the ratio of auto-Abs without and with catalytic activities at different stages of EAE development (onset, acute and remission phases) after immunization of mice with the three specific antigens. Prior to immunization and during spontaneous in-time development of EAE, the concentration of auto-Abs against MBP, MOG, histones and DNA and activities of IgG antibodies in the hydrolysis of substrates increased in parallel; correlation coefficients = +0.69-0.94. After immunization with MOG, DNA-histone complex or DNA-met-BSA complex, both positive (from +0.13 to +0.98) and negative correlations (from -0.09 to -0.69) were found between these values. Our study is the first showing that depending on the antigen, the relative amount of harmful auto-Abs without and abzymes with low or high catalytic activities may be produced only at onset and in acute or remission phases of EAE. The antigen governs the EAE development rate, whereby the ratio of auto-Abs without catalytic activity and with enzymatic activities of harmful abzymes hydrolysing MBP, MOG, histones and DNA varies strongly between different disease phases.
Although pickled radish is widely consumed worldwide, few studies have investigated the nutritional benefits of bioactive compounds extracted from pickled radish. In this study, the authors investigate the relationship among dietary phenolic compounds, lipid accumulation, and gut microbiota.

Three phenolic compounds 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone (DHAP), 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol (4-HPEA), and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (HBA) are extracted from pickled radish. LO2 cells treated with free fatty acid are first used to explore the impact of the above three compounds at different doses on reducing lipid levels. The effects of the three compounds on obesity and the gut microbiota are further investigated in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced KM mice. Results show that three compounds inhibited the lipid accumulation in LO2 cells. The results of animal experiments reveal that three compounds prevented body weight gain and significantly decreased serum lipid levels. Treatment with DHAP, HPEA, and HBA reversed gut microbiome dysbiosis in HFD-induced mice. The three phenolic compounds increase Odoribacter, and decrease Helicobacter and Mucispirillum. Notably, DHAP and HBA reduce the HFD-induced increase in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio.

These data suggest that phenolic compounds extracted from pickled radish possess excellent lipid-lowering capacity, providing a theoretical basis for further analysis of the nutritional value of pickled radish.

Although their histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings are well known, cytomorphological features on serous effusions have not been well documented. A case of metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed on cytological examination of the pericardial fluid cytology and discuss the diagnostic difficulties that were encountered in this case has been presented.
Rat mothers exhibit natural variations in care that propagate between generations of female offspring. However, there is limited information on genetic variation that could influence this propagation.

We assessed early-life maternal care received by individual female rat offspring, later-life maternal care provisioning, and dopaminergic activity in the maternal brain in relation to naturally occurring genetic polymorphisms linked to the dopaminergic system. We also conducted a systematic analysis of other genetic variants potentially related to maternal behavior in our Long-Evans rat population.

While we did not find a direct relationship between early-life licking received and later-life licking provisioning, this relationship was indirectly affected by dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens and dependent on variation in the dopamine receptor 2 gene (rs107017253). More specifically, female rat offspring with the A/G genotype showed a positive relationship between average licking received and dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens of the maternal brain; there was no relationship with female rat offspring with the A/A genotype. The higher dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens corresponded with higher maternal licking provisioning from postnatal days 2-9. We also discovered and validated several new variants that were predicted by our systematic analysis.

Our findings suggest that genetic variation influences the relationship between early-life maternal care received and the dopaminergic system of the maternal brain, which can indirectly influence later-life maternal care provisioning.
