    Abstract: Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.

    Abstract: Carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) expression is vital to normal osteoclast function. We and others have previously reported induction of CA II messenger RNA (mRNA) expression by 1,25(OH)2D3 in myelomonocytic cells and marrow culture. However, since 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulates osteoclast differentiation as well, we wished to separate direct effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the CA II gene from the differentiating effects of the hormone. Using primary murine mixed marrow cultures, we measured CA II mRNA expression by RT-PCR. 10 nm 1,25(OH)2D3 dose dependently induced expression of CA II mRNA (4.12 ± 0.68-fold) at day 4 in culture compared with control with an ED50 of 0.25 nm. When nonadherent marrow cells containing osteoclast progenitors were depleted of stromal cells and exposed to 10 nm 1,25(OH)2D3, CA II mRNA expression was decreased by more than 60%. Coculture of progenitors with ST-2 stromal cells for 3 days with 10 nm 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulated CA II expression by 22 ± 3.6-fold. 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulated CA II mRNA expression in progenitors separated from ST-2 cells by transwells was insignificant demonstrating that the two cell types must be in physical contact. PTH also stimulated CA II mRNA expression (4.91 ± 0.01-fold) to a similar degree as seen with 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. These results demonstrate that induction of CA II in osteoclast progenitors requires their physical communication with stromal cells and is inseparable from the osteoclast differentiation process.

    Abstract: Some amoxicillin-resistant strains of H. pylori show a sharp decrease in amoxicillin resistance after freezing. In China, most clinical gastric mucosal specimens are frozen and transported for isolation and drug susceptibility testing for H. pylori, which may lead to an underestimation of the amoxicillin resistance. The objective of this study is to investigated reasons for the decreased amoxicillin resistance after cryopreservation. A high-level amoxicillin-resistant clone (NX24r) was obtained through amoxicillin pressure screening. After cryopreservation at −80 °C for 3 months, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of NX24r was reduced sharply. Mutations and changes of transcriptome were analyzed after amoxicillin screening and cryopreservation. Mutations in PBP1 (I370T, E428K, T556S) and HefC (M337K, L378F, D976V) were detected in NX24r, which may be the main reason for the induced amoxicillin resistance. No mutations were found in PBP1 or HefC after cryopreservation. However, transcriptome analysis showed that down-regulated genes in the cryopreserved clone were significantly enriched in plasma membrane (GO:0005886), including lepB, secD, gluP, hp0871 and hp1071. These plasma membrane genes are involved in the biosynthesis and transport function of the membrane. The decreased amoxicillin resistance after cryopreservation may be related to the down-regulation of genes involved in membrane structure and transport function.

    Abstract: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) adhesion to human gastric epithelial cells is closely linked with fucosylated glycans. Therefore, investigation of fucosylation in the interaction of gastric epithelial cells with H. pylori is critical. In this study we used lectin microarrays to detect the expression of fucosylated glycans in gastric epithelial cells (GES-1) infected with H. pylori strains isolated from patients with different diseases including chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer (each containing two strains) at 4 h. In addition, we investigated the time-course expression of fucosyltransferase (FUT) 1–6 genes in GES-1 cells stimulated with H. pylori strains at 0.5–8 h. At 4 h post-infection, Lotus, AAA, BC2LCN, PA-IIL, CNL and ACG lectins had increased signals in H. pylori-infected GES-1 cells compared to uninfected cells. Higher expression of FUT1 and FUT2 was detected in all H. pylori-infected GES-1 cells within 2 h, regardless of the H. pylori strain. In particular, the expression of FUT2 was higher in H. pylori-infected GES-1 cells with a higher fold change in levels of BC2LCN lectin specific to α1-2 linked fucose (Fuc) at 4 h. The results suggest that the high levels of α1, 2-linked Fuc synthesized by FUT1/2, might play a role in the preliminary stage of H. pylori infection. This provides us with pivotal information to understand the adhesion of H. pylori to human gastric epithelial cells.

    Abstract: HpaA as an outer membrane protein of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) plays a significant role in the adhesion to the human stomach, but the functional relation between HpaA and gastric epithelial cells is still not clear. To screen the interaction between HpaA and cellular proteins in gastric epithelial cells, the HpaA protein from H. pylori 26695 fused with a tag (6× His) was expressed and purified successfully, the secondary structure was estimated by the Circular Dichroism (CD) spectrum, and the purified recombinant protein was used to perform the pull-down assays with gastric cancer cell lines (AGS and SGC-7901) lysates, respectively. The pull-down proteins were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry system (HPLC-MS/MS). A total of 9 and 13 proteins related were analyzed from AGS and SGC-7901 cell lysates, respectively. ANXA2 was considered as putative HpaA functional partner discovered from lysates of both cell lines with high score and coverage. It is hypothesized that HpaA may be involved in the biological process of regulation of transcription and nucleic acid metabolism during the adhesion of H. pylori to human gastric epithelial cells, and HpaA-binding proteins also be used as targets for the development of antiadhesion drugs against H. pylori .

    Abstract: Little is known regarding the impact of socioeconomic factors on the use of evidence-based therapies and outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction across Asia. Methods: We investigated the association of both patient-level (household income, education levels) and country-level (regional income level by World Bank classification, income disparity by Gini index) socioeconomic indicators on use of guideline-directed therapy and clinical outcomes (composite of 1-year mortality or HF hospitalization, quality of life) in the prospective multinational ASIAN-HF study (Asian Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure). Results: Among 4540 patients (mean age: 60±13 years, 23% women) with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, 39% lived in low-income regions; 34% in regions with high-income disparity (Gini ≥42.8%); 64.4% had low monthly household income ( 〈 US$1000); and 29.5% had no/only primary education. The largest disparity in treatment across regional income levels pertained to β-blocker and device therapies, with patients from low-income regions being less likely to receive these treatments compared with those from high-income regions and even greater disparity among patients with lower education status and lower household income within each regional income strata. Higher country- and patient-level socioeconomic indicators related to higher quality of life scores and lower risk of the primary composite outcome. Notably, we found a significant interaction between regional income level and both household income and education status ( P interaction 〈 0.001 for both), where the association of low household income and low education status with poor outcomes was more pronounced in high-income compared with lower income regions. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of socioeconomic determinants among patients with heart failure in Asia and suggest that attention should be paid to address disparities in access to care among the poor and less educated, including those from wealthy regions.

    Abstract: There are geographic variations in the genotypes of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) cagA , vacA , iceA , oipA and dupA . The aim of the study was to investigate the distribution of these genotypes among H. pylori strains from five regions of China and their association with clinical outcomes. Materials and methods Gastric biopsy specimens were obtained from 348 patients with different gastrointestinal diseases in the five regions of China. The regional distribution was 89 patients from Shandong, 91 from Guangxi, 57 from Hunan, 58 from Qinghai and 53 from Heilongjiang. The presence of cagA , vacA , iceA , oipA and dupA genotypes was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from H. pylori DNA. Results A total of 269 H. pylori isolates were obtained, of which 74 isolates were from Shandong, 78 from Guangxi, 46 from Hunan, 33 from Qinghai and 38 from Heilongjiang. The cagA -positive status was predominant in the five regions. The predominant vacA genotypes were s1c (73.4%), m2 (70.6%) and i1 (92.9%). In strains from Shandong, s1a and m1 were dominant. By contrast, s1c was dominant in Guangxi and i1 was dominant in Hunan and Heilongjiang. The prevalence of m2 subtype in Qinghai (78.8%) was significantly higher than that in other regions (P  〈  0.05). The predominant iceA genotype was iceA1 and the frequency of iceA1 was significantly more prevalent in Hunan than in other regions (P  〈  0.05). The oipA status “on” gene was more frequent in Shandong (91.9%) and Guangxi (91%) than in Heilongjiang (71.7%) (P  〈  0.05). Conversely, the dupA -positive status was less than half in Shandong (31.1%) and Guangxi (15.4%), whereas it was 73.9% in Hunan and 81.8% in Qinghai (P  〈  0.001). There were no significant associations between the cagA , vacA , iceA , oipA genotypes and clinical outcomes. The dupA -positive strains were more common in peptic ulcer disease (PUD) patients than in non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) patients in Shandong and Guangxi (P  〈  0.05), but the association was not observed in other geographic regions. Conclusions There was significant geographic diversity of H. pylori genotypes in different regions of China and the presence of dupA gene can be considered as a marker for the development of gastroduodenal diseases. However, the cagA , iceA , vacA and oipA genes cannot be regarded for prediction of the clinical presentation of H. pylori infection in China.

    Abstract: Objective: Curcumae Rhizoma – Sparganii Rhizoma (CR-SR) is a traditional botanical drug pair that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and treat tumors in clinics. The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic material basis and potential mechanisms of CR-SR, CR, and SR for the treatment of liver cancer. Method: The chemical profile analyses of CR-SR, CR, and SR were performed by molecular networking and UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS n . The anti-liver cancer activities of CR-SR, CR, and SR were assessed by using a zebrafish xenograft model in vivo for the first time and detected by the HepG2 cell model in vitro . Combining the network analysis and molecular docking, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) experiments were undertaken to further explore the mechanisms of CR-SR, CR, and SR for the treatment of liver cancer. Results: In total, 65 components were identified in CR-SR, CR, and SR. Based on the clusters of molecular networking, a total of 12 novel diarylheptanoids were identified from CR-SR and CR. By combining our results with information from the literature, 32 sesquiterpenoids and 21 cyclic dipeptides were identified from CR-SR, CR, and SR. The anti-liver cancer activities were observed in both the drug pair and the single botanical drugs in vitro and in vivo , and the order of activity was CR-SR & gt; CR & gt; SR. They could downregulate the expression of proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (SRC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), estrogen receptor-α (ESR1), prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), and amyloid precursor protein (APP). Conclusion: Taken together, the present study provided an experimental basis for the therapeutic material basis and potential molecular mechanisms of CR-SR, CR, and SR. This study provided a novel insight for objective clinical treatment of liver cancer.

    Abstract: Macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (MCSF), although necessary for entry of precursors into the early preosteoclast pathway, inhibits osteoclastogenesis at high doses. To clarify the relationship between MCSF and osteoclast formation, we investigated the effect of exogenous MCSF in murine bone marrow culture. Precursor proliferation and the expression of MCSF‐receptor were examined after 4 days of culture in the presence or absence of accessory stromal cells. In both mixed marrow and destromalized cell cultures, exogenous MCSF dose‐dependently decreased 125 I‐MCSF binding (by 65 ± 5.0% at 3500 and 87 ± 16.7% at 7000 U/ml, respectively) while enhancing mononuclear cell proliferation after 3 days of exposure (by 2.8‐ and 6.3‐fold, respectively). These effects were maintained 24 h after removal of exogenous MCSF and, as such, likely represented an MCSF‐induced change in MCSF receptor‐bearing cells. Exposure to exogenous MCSF (3500 U/ml) days 2–4 dose‐dependently inhibited tartrate resistant acid phosphatase positive multinuclear cell (TRAP + MNC) formation counted at the end of day 7, by 64.3 ± 4.1%. This inhibition of TRAP + MNC formation was preceded by a 92 ± 9% decrease in the expression of carbonic anhydrase II mRNA measurable at 4 days. These results indicate that MCSF promotes proliferation of a population of cells expressing lower cognate receptor sites. Changes in MCSF‐receptor expression appear to modulate the final lineage selection of the pluripotent monoblastic progenitor.
