These findings are consistent with smaller hippocampal volume in PTSD, and suggest that the effects are primarily due to environmental effects such as the stress of combat.

Anosognosia or impaired illness awareness is a common feature of schizophrenia that contributes to medication nonadherence and poor clinical outcomes. A recent pilot study suggests patients with impaired illness awareness have a rightward visuospatial bias. We aimed to examine this relationship in a large sample of patients. This study consisted of 106 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (henceforth, schizophrenia) and 20 healthy controls. Visuospatial attention was assessed using the line bisection test (LBT). Illness awareness was assessed using the VAGUS self-report version. A Welch's t-test was used to examine differences in LBT scores between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls. Correlation analyses between LBT and VAGUS scores were performed in patients with schizophrenia. For exploratory purposes, intra-subject reliability of the LBT was also examined using a two-way mixed intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). There were no differences in LBT scores between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls. In patients, there were no associations between LBT and VAGUS scores. ICCs between two consecutively acquired LBTs were 0.92 (95% CI 0.81-0.96) in patients with schizophrenia and 0.93 (95% CI 0.81-0.97) in healthy controls. Our results, using a reliable measure, did not support our previous preliminary finding that suggested a relationship between impaired illness awareness and visuospatial bias in patients with schizophrenia. Future studies should consider more sensitive visuospatial attention tasks when testing this hypothesis.Previous studies have documented the protective effects of social participation on depression in older adults. In this study, we investigated the association between social participation and depressive symptoms and the associated gender difference in older adults. In addition, we explored the mediating role of emotional social support in the association between social participation and depressive symptoms. We collected data from 4751 community-dwelling adults aged 60 and above from the Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS) conducted in 2017 and 2018. selleck chemical The relationship between social participation (participation in different types of activities, frequency of participation, and the number of activities participated) and the risk for depressive symptoms was examined. Older adults who participated in social activity, volunteer work, and donation had decreased risk of depressive symptoms. More frequent and more diverse participation in activities further reduced the risk. Overall, women benefited more from social participation than men. Importantly, emotional social support significantly mediated the relationship between social participation and depressive symptoms. Social participation was associated lower odds for depression in older adults, particularly in older women. Our findings provided one of very few pieces of evidence that documents the mediating role of emotional social support in the relationship between social participation and depression among the elderly.This American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the endoscopic management of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). We applied the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology to address key clinical questions. These include the comparison of (1) surgical gastrojejunostomy to the placement of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) for malignant GOO, (2) covered versus uncovered SEMS for malignant GOO, and (3) endoscopic and surgical interventions for the management of benign GOO. Recommendations provided in this document were founded on the certainty of the evidence, balance of benefits and harms, considerations of patient and caregiver preferences, resource utilization, and cost-effectiveness.Serpini1, which encodes neuroserpin, has been implicated in the development and normal function of the nervous system. Mutations in serpini1 cause familial encephalopathy, a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized with neuroserpin inclusion bodies. However, function of neuroserpin in the nervous system is not fully understood. In this study, we generated a novel serpini1 mutant zebrafish model to investigate the loss of function of neuroserpin. Serpini1- deficient mutation was created with the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. No severe morphological characteristics were found in serpini1- deficient zebrafish. Serpini1-/- zebrafish larvae did not cause locomotor defects but displayed anxiety-like behavior. Extension of motoneurons axon defect was observed in serpini1-/- zebrafish. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that loss of serpini1 resulted in affected expression of neurodegeneration-related genes.Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a severe global health problem. There is increasing evidence for the important roles of long noncoding RNAs in tumorigenesis and metastasis in HCC. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel long noncoding RNA, LINC02580, involved in HCC. LINC02580 was highly downregulated in HCC cohorts and was identified as a tumor suppressor. Low LINC02580 expression in patients with HCC was correlated with poor prognosis. Functional assays indicated that LINC02580-deficient cells show enhanced colony formation, migration, and invasion in vitro and promote subcutaneous tumor formation and distant lung metastasis in vivo. With respect to the underlying mechanism, we found that LINC02580 modulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) associated pathway in HCC cells by specifically binding to serine and arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1). In summary, our findings illustrated that LINC02580 is a metastasis-suppressing lncRNA in HCC, and provided vital clues of how LINC02580 performs its biological functions. Further, this lncRNA may be a potential target in the prognosis and treatment of HCC.Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) represents critical challenge for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction diseases. Presently, identifying the molecular basis revealing MIR progression is scientifically essential and may provide effective therapeutic strategies. Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) is a key aerobic glycolysis enzyme, and exhibits critical role in mediating several biological events, such as energy production and inflammation. However, whether PGAM1 can affect MIR is unknown. Here we showed that PGAM1 levels were increased in murine ischemic hearts. Mice with cardiac knockout of PGAM1 were resistant to MIR-induced heart injury, evidenced by the markedly reduced infarct volume, improved cardiac function and histological alterations in cardiac sections. In addition, inflammatory response, apoptosis and fibrosis in hearts of mice with MIR operation were significantly alleviated by the cardiac deletion of PGAM1. Mechanistically, the activation of nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB), p38, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathways were effectively abrogated in MI-operated mice with specific knockout of PGAM1 in hearts. The potential of PGAM1 suppression to inhibit inflammatory response, apoptosis and fibrosis were verified in the isolated cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation reperfusion (OGDR) and TGF-β, respectively. Importantly, PGAM1 directly interacted with TGF-β to subsequently mediate inflammation, apoptosis and collagen accumulation, thereby achieving its anti-MIR action. Collectively, these findings demonstrated that PGAM1 was a positive regulator of myocardial infarction remodeling due to its promotional modulation of TGF-β signaling, indicating that PGAM1 may be a promising therapeutic target for MIR treatment.Bile acids have recently emerged as key metabolic hormones with beneficial impacts in multiple metabolic diseases. We previously discovered that hepatic bile acid overload distally modulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism in adipose tissues to exert anti-obesity effects. However, the detailed mechanisms that explain the salutary effects of serum bile acid elevation remain unclear. Here, proteomic profiling identified a new hepatokine, Orosomucoid (ORM) that governs liver-adipose tissue crosstalk. Hepatic ORMs were highly induced by both genetic and dietary bile acid overload. To address the direct metabolic effects of ORM, purified ORM proteins were administered during adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells and mouse stromal vascular fibroblasts. ORM suppressed adipocyte differentiation and strongly inhibited gene expression of adipogenic transcription factors such as C/EBPβ, KLF5, C/EBPα, and PPARγ. Taken together, our data clearly suggest that bile acid-induced ORM secretion from the liver blocks adipocyte differentiation, potentially linked to anti-obesity effect of bile acids.Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common type of human oral malignancy with poor survival. Presently, it is necessary to find new and effective drugs for clinical therapy. This study aimed to identify the potential anti-tumor effects of ACP-5862, a major metabolite of acalabrutinib, on human ESCC progression, and to reveal the underlying mechanisms. Our findings suggested that ACP-5862 treatments markedly reduced the cell proliferation of ESCC cell lines in a time- and dose-dependent manner, while had no significant cytotoxicity to normal cells. Cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase was markedly induced by ACP-5862 in ESCC cells. Furthermore, apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress were detected in ESCC cells treated with ACP-5862. Intriguingly, ACP-5862-induced apoptotic cell death was partly dependent on ER stress. Moreover, reactive oxygen species (ROS) was greatly triggered in ACP-5862-incubated ESCC cells, which was closely involved in apoptosis and ER stress mediated by ACP-5862. In addition, we showed that the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2) was considerably reduced in ACP-5862-treated cells. Importantly, ACP-5862 combined with Nrf-2 knockdown could further induce apoptosis and ER stress in ESCC cells compared with the ACP-5862 single group. Animal studies confirmed that repressing Nrf-2 promoted the anti-tumor effect of ACP-5862 on ESCC growth. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that ACP-5862 exerted anti-cancer effects on ESCC through inducing ER stress-mediated apoptosis via the ROS production. Meanwhile, ACP-5862 co-treated with Nrf-2 inhibitors may supply new and effective therapeutic strategies for ESCC treatment in future.
