Objective: To evaluate the spontaneous brain activity alterations in liver transplantation (LT) recipients using resting-state functional MRI. Materials and Methods: Twenty cirrhotic patients as transplant candidates and 25 healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. All patients repeated the MRI study one month after LT. Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) values were compared between cirrhotic patients (both pre- and post-LT) and HCs as well as between the pre- and post-LT groups. The relationship between ALFF changes and venous blood ammonia levels and neuropsychological tests were investigated using Pearson’s correlation analysis. Results: In the cirrhotic patients, decreased ALFF in the vision-related regions (left lingual gyrus and calcarine), sensorimotor-related regions (left postcentral gyrus and middle cingulate cortex), and the default-mode network (bilateral precuneus and left inferior parietal lobule) were restored, and the increased ALFF in the temporal and frontal lobe improved in the early period after LT. The ALFF decreases persisted in the right supplementary motor area, inferior parietal lobule, and calcarine. The ALFF changes in the right precuneus were negatively correlated with changes in number connection test-A scores (r = 0.507, p < 0.05). Conclusion: LT improved spontaneous brain activity and the results for associated cognition tests. However, decreased ALFF in some areas persisted, and new-onset abnormal ALFF were possible, indicating that complete cognitive function recovery may need more time.

Background: The accessory tendon of the extensor hallucis longus (ATEHL) muscle is a common abnormal structure, and its clinical significance remains debatable. In this study, we provide the incidence of the ATEHL and characterize its morphological types in Asian cadavers and investigate its clinical applications. Methods: The tendons from 50 adult cadaveric feet, fixed in 10% formalin, were analyzed. We measured the length and width of both the ATEHL and the extensor hallucis brevis (EHB). Results: All dissected specimens had an ATEHL. The first metatarsophalangeal joint was surrounded by an accessory tendon that inserted onto the joint capsule and the dorsal base of the proximal phalanx. We classified the ATEHL into 3 types based on their directions. Differences in ATEHL type based on sex were not statistically significant. Conclusions: We found an ATEHL in all cadaveric specimens in this study. We surmise that the ATEHL acts as an antagonist with the EHB when the toe is extending, which might help prevent the occurrence of hallux valgus deformity.

Zinc finger (ZNF) proteins play a critical role in cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis, and intracellular signal transduction. In this paper, we cloned and characterized a novel human KRAB-related zinc finger gene, ZNF425, which encodes a protein of 752 amino acids. ZNF425 is strongly expressed in the three month old human embryos and then is almost undetectable in six month old embryos and in adult tissues. An EGFP-ZNF425 fusion protein can be found in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. ZNF425 appears to act as a transcription repressor. Over-expression of ZNF425 inhibits the transcriptional activities of SRE, AP-1, and SRF. Deletion analysis indicates that the C2H2 domain is the main region responsible for the repression. Our results suggest that the ZNF425 gene is a new transcriptional inhibitor that functions in the MAPK signaling pathway. [BMB reports 2011; 44(1): 58-63]

Background: The year 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of heart transplant service in Hong Kong (HK). In this study, we describe prevailing trends and outcomes of advanced heart failure (AHF), including heart transplantations (HTx), in HK over the past 30 years. Methods: Trends in heart failure prevalence in HK from 1993 to 2021 were analyzed based on data from the Hospital Authority Clinical Data and Reporting System. All AHF patients referred for HTx consideration between 1992 and 2021 were reviewed. The bridge-to-transplant (BTT) utilization of short-term mechanical circulatory support (ST-MCS) devices, including venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and durable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), from 2010 to 2021 was reviewed. Results: Overall, 237 heart transplants were performed in HK, with 10-year posttransplant and median survival of 68.1% and 18.7 years, respectively. An increase in AHF clinic referrals was correlated with increasing heart failure prevalence (R2=0.635, P<0.001). In total, 146 referrals were made for ST-MCS, and an observed increase in ST-MCS referrals was correlated with increasing VA-ECMO utilization (R2=0.849, P<0.001). Among 62 patients accepted for AHF therapy, those with durable LVAD implementation had better 1-year survival (71.5%) than those receiving an extracorporeal CentriMag (Levitronix) device as BTT (40%, P=0.008). In total, 143 LVADs were implanted, with 130 as BTT or bridge-to-candidacy (BTC) methods. The survival rate among the 130 BTT/BTC LVAD patients resembled that of HTx recipients (73.8% vs. 69.8% at 9 years, P=0.296). Conclusions: The burden of AHF management has increased and gained complexity over the past 30 years in Hong Kong.

2',4'-Dihydroxy-6'-methoxy-3',5'-dimethylchalcone(DMC) is a chalcone isolated from the buds of Cleistocalyxoperculatus (Roxb.) Merr. et Perry, and thehepatoprotective effects of DMC on Kunming mice havebeen studied in previous study. However, the effects ofDMC on hepatocyte toxicity and corresponding mechanismremain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate thehepatoprotective mechanism of DMC in human hepatocytes(L02) treated with H2O2. The results demonstrated thatpretreatment with DMC effectively protected H2O2-inducedcell viability loss, cell membrane damage (lactate dehydrogenase,nitric oxide production and caspase-3 accumulation. Besides, DMC pretreatment increased the amount ofglutathione, decreased malondialdehyde and the percentageof apoptotic L02 cells compared with only H2O2 treatedgroup. Taken together, these results indicated that DMC hadhepatoprotective effects against H2O2-induced liver injuryby alleviating oxidative stress and apoptosis process in L02cells, and DMC might be a potential candidate for theintervention of liver diseases.

To ensure the robustness of the fractional frequency transmission system (FFTS), the ability of Y-type modular multilevel converters (Y-MMC) to operate under unbalanced operating conditions is essential. The Y-MMC controlled by traditional linear strategy has low robustness, high harmonics, low accuracy, and other disadvantages. In order to solve those problems, a passive sliding mode control strategy is proposed for Y-MMC in this paper. First, design a passivity-based controller based on the Euler–Lagrange (EL) model of Y-MMC, prove its stability using Lyapunov's theorem, combine the passivity-based controller with the sliding mode controller to derive a mathematical expression for the passive sliding mode control so that can enhance the robustness. Then, the modules of control target design, reactive power distribution, and modulation degree allocation are described. Finally, extensive MATLAB/Simulink platform simulation and RT-LAB platform experiments were conducted in different scenarios to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. This strategy improves the power quality indices under non-ideal conditions. It has better advantages than the traditional PI controller and passivity-based control in the accuracy and robustness of power transmission.
ZnO Nanowire Arrays on 3D Hierachical Graphene Foam: Biomarker Detection of Parkinson’s Disease

<P>We report that vertically aligned ZnO nanowire arrays (ZnO NWAs) were fabricated on 3D graphene foam (GF) and used to selectively detect uric acid (UA), dopamine (DA), and ascorbic acid (AA) by a differential pulse voltammetry method. The optimized ZnO NWA/GF electrode provided a high surface area and high selectivity with a detection limit of 1 nM for UA and DA. The high selectivity in the oxidation potential was explained by the gap difference between the lowest unoccupied and highest occupied molecular orbitals of a biomolecule for a set of given electrodes. This method was further used to detect UA levels in the serum of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The UA level was 25% lower in PD patients than in healthy individuals. This finding strongly implies that UA can be used as a biomarker for PD.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/ancac3/2014/ancac3.2014.8.issue-2/nn405961p/production/images/medium/nn-2013-05961p_0005.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/nn405961p'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

A subset of patients of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) present with mutation of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), and such mutants caused an ALSlike disorder when expressed in rodents. These findings implicated SOD1 in ALS pathogenesis and made the transgenic animals a widely used ALS model. However, previous studies of these animals have focused largely on motor neuron damage. We report herein that the spinal cords of mice expressing a human SOD1 mutant (hSOD1-G93A), besides showing typical destruction of motor neurons and axons, exhibit significant damage in the sensory system, including Wallerian-like degeneration in axons of dorsal root and dorsal funiculus, and mitochondrial damage in dorsal root ganglia neurons. Thus, hSOD1-G93A mutation causes both motor and sensory neuropathies, and as such the disease developed in the transgenic mice very closely resembles human ALS.

Zinc finger-containing transcription factors are the largest single family of transcriptional regulators in mammals, which play an essential role in cell differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and neoplastic transformation. Here we have cloned a novel KRAB-related zinc finger gene, ZNF424, encoding a protein of 555aa. ZNF424 gene consisted of 4 exons and 3 introns, and mapped to chromosome 19p13.3. ZNF424 gene was ubiquitously expressed in human embryo tissues by Northern blot analysis. ZNF424 is conserved across species in evolution. Using a GFP-labeled ZNF424 protein, we demonstrate that ZNF424 localizes mostly in the nucleus. Transcriptional activity assays shows ZNF424 suppresses transcriptional activity of L8G5-luciferase. Overexpression of ZNF424 in HEK- 293 cells inhibited the transcriptional activity of NFAT and p21, which may be silenced by siRNA. The results suggest that ZNF424 protein may act as a transcriptional repressor that suppresses NFAT and p21 pathway to mediate cellular functions. [BMB reports 2010; 43(3): 212-218]
