Single-cell Sequence Analysis Combined with Multiple Machine Learning to Identify Markers in Sepsis Patients: LILRA5
AbstractSepsis is a disease with a very high mortality rate, mainly involving an immune-dysregulated response due to bacterial infection. Most studies are currently limited to the whole blood transcriptome level; however, at the single cell level, there is still a great deal unknown about specific cell subsets and disease markers. We obtained 29 peripheral blood single-cell sequencing data, including 66,283 cells from 10 confirmed samples of sepsis infection and 19 healthy samples. Cells related to the sepsis phenotype were identified and characterized by the “scissor” method. The regulatory relationships of sepsis-...

An Update on Impacts of Epigallocatechin Gallate Co-administration in Modulating Pharmacokinetics of Statins, Calcium Channel Blockers, and Beta-blockers
Planta Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2111-7319Brewed green tea, green tea extract, and its primary active compound, epigallocatechin gallate, may interact with drugs and alter the drugʼs therapeutic effectiveness, ultimately leading to therapeutic failure or drug overdose. Several isolated reports have claimed that epigallocatechin gallate is the main active ingredient that causes these effects. While a few studies aimed to uncover evidence of epigallocatechin gallate-drug interactions, no study has thoroughly and collectively reviewed them. Epigallocatechin gallate is a potential cardioprotective agent used by many p...

Analyzing microbial communities and their biodegradation of multiple pharmaceuticals in membrane bioreactors
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2023 Jul 12. doi: 10.1007/s00253-023-12677-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPharmaceuticals are of concern to our planet and health as they can accumulate in the environment. The impact of these biologically active compounds on ecosystems is hard to predict, and information on their biodegradation is necessary to establish sound risk assessment. Microbial communities are promising candidates for the biodegradation of pharmaceuticals such as ibuprofen, but little is known yet about their degradation capacity of multiple micropollutants at higher concentrations (100 mg/L). In this work, microbial c...

Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography as the Initial Gatekeeper Modality to Identify and Assess the Severity of Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease
66-year-old Bengali male with past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus type 2 was referred to the cardiology clinic for the evaluation and management of angina pectoris. The patient's symptoms were characterized as exertional chest pressure, which worsened with minimal activity (walking for 5 minutes) and relieved with rest (after 10 minutes) and had been ongoing for the past 4-5 months. His existing medications included atenolol, valsartan, and empagliflozin. Based on his clinical history and his risk factors for ischemic heart disease, he had a high pre-test probability for ischemic hea...

Epac1 participates in β < sub > 1 < /sub > -adrenoreceptor autoantibody-mediated decreased autophagic flux in cardiomyocytes
This study confirmed that Epac1 upregulation is indeed involved β1-AA-induced decreased cardiomyocyte autophagy through CE3F4 pretreatment, Epac1 siRNA transfection, western blot and immunofluorescence methods. On this basis, we constructed β1-AR and β2-AR knockout mice, and used receptor knockout mice, β1-AR selective blocker (atenolol), and the β2-AR/Gi-biased agonist ICI 118551 to show that β1-AA upregulated Epac1 expression through β1-AR and β2-AR to inhibit autophagy, and biased activation of β2-AR/Gi signaling downregulated myocardial Epac1 expression to reverse β1-AA-induced myocardial autophagy inhibition...

Structural and performance variation of PES/PVDF membranes after exposure to the pretreated feed water of CECs
In this study, the removal efficiency of chemicals of emerging concerns (CECs) was evaluated under exposure to various doses of UV/H2O2-based oxidation processes in combination with membrane filtration for three cleaning cycles. Polyethersulphone (PES) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) materials based membranes were used for this study. The chemical cleaning of the membranes was performed by immersion of the membranes into 1 N HCl followed by adding 3000 mg.L-1 NaOCl for 1hr. Degradation and filtration performance was evaluated using Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and total organic carbon (...
