Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a first-line drug prepared from human plasma for the treatment of autoimmune diseases (AIDs), especially immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Significant differences exist in protein types and expression levels between male and female plasma, and the prevalence of autoimmune diseases varies between sexes. The present study seeks to explore potential variations in IVIG sourced from distinct sex-specific plasma (DSP-IVIG), including IVIG sourced from female plasma (F-IVIG), IVIG sourced from male plasma (M-IVIG), and IVIG sourced from a blend of male and female plasma (Mix-IVIG). To address this question, we used an ITP mouse model and a monocyte–macrophage inflammation model treated with DSP IVIG. The analysis of proteomics in mice suggested that the pathogenesis and treatment of ITP may involve FcγRs mediated phagocytosis, apoptosis, Th17, cytokines, chemokines, and more. Key indicators, including the mouse spleen index, CD16+ macrophages, M1, M2, IL-6, IL-27, and IL-13, all indicated that the efficacy in improving ITP was highest for M-IVIG. Subsequent cell experiments revealed that M-IVIG exhibited a more potent ability to inhibit monocyte phagocytosis. It induced more necrotic M2 cells and fewer viable M2, resulting in weaker M2 phagocytosis. M-IVIG also demonstrated superiority in the downregulation of surface makers CD36, CD68, and CD16 on M1 macrophages, a weaker capacity to activate complement, and a stronger binding ability to FcγRs on the THP-1 surface. In summary, DSP-IVIG effectively mitigated inflammation in ITP mice and monocytes and macrophages. However, M-IVIG exhibited advantages in improving the spleen index, regulating the number and typing of M1 and M2 macrophages, and inhibiting macrophage-mediated inflammation compared to F-IVIG and Mix-IVIG.

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to describe blood services in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Regions, (hereinafter referred to as Aba Prefecture), a region of China's Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the third largest area of Tibet and the main inhabited area of the Qiang people. Design: We present a comprehensive investigation into blood donations, donors, screening and supply in the 13 counties of Aba Prefecture based on data from 2013 to 2018. Geography and population were also used to analyze the differences in blood services among different regions. Participants: The number of blood donors totaled 19,047. Results: Over the past 6 years, blood donations have increased by 29 and clinical blood usage by 45%. The blood donation rate was 3.4‰ and per capita blood use was 1.04 mL, both of which were significantly lower than the national average, and blood donation decreased with altitude. It should be noted that the donation rate of the Tibetan and Qiang peoples is much lower than that of the Han population. Moreover, the rejection rate of blood in laboratory testing was found to be higher than the national average, especially in counties located at higher altitudes. Conclusions: Blood donations and usage increased every year in Aba Prefecture, but blood shortage is still an important issue. In addition, the prevalence of transfusion–transmitted diseases is relatively high, which may be linked to lower-education and unfavorable geographical and medical conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease that currently has no known cure. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), which contains AD-related antibodies and has anti-inflammatory properties, has shown potential as a treatment for AD. However, the efficacy of clinical trials involving AD patients treated with IVIG has been inconsistent. Our previous study found that different IVIGs had significantly varied therapeutic effects on 3xTg-AD mice. In order to investigate the relationship between the composition and function of IVIG and its efficacy in treating AD, we selected three IVIGs that showed notable differences in therapeutic effects. Then, the concentrations of specific antibodies against β-amyloid (Aβ)42, tau, and hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) in three IVIGs, as well as their effects on systemic inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in Balb/c mice, were analyzed and compared in this study. The results indicated that these IVIGs differed greatly in anti-Aβ42/tau antibody concentration and anti-p-tau ratio, and improved LPS-stimulated peripheral inflammation, liver and kidney injury, and neuroinflammation in Balb/c mice to varying degrees. Combined with our previous results, the efficacy of IVIG against AD may be positively correlated with its level of AD-related antibodies and anti-inflammatory ability. AD-related antibody analysis and functional evaluation of IVIG should be given sufficient attention before clinical trials, as this may greatly affect the therapeutic effect of AD treatment.

Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), belonging to the transforming factor-β superfamily, regulates anterior-posterior patterning and inhibits neurogenesis during embryonic development. However, recent studies recognized GDF11 as a rejuvenating (or anti-ageing) factor to reverse age-related cardiac hypertrophy, repair injured skeletal muscle, promote cognitive function, etc. The effects of GDF11 are contradictory and the mechanism of action is still not well clarified. The objective of the present study was to investigate effects of GDF11 on PC12 neural stem cells in vitro and to reveal the underlying mechanism. We systematically assessed the effects of GDF11 on the life activities of PC12 cells. GDF11 significantly suppressed cell proliferation and migration, promoted differentiation and apoptosis, and arrested cell cycle at G2/M phase. Both TMT-based proteomic analysis and phospho-antibody microarray revealed PI3K-Akt pathway was enriched when treated with GDF11. Inhibition of ALK5 or PI3K obviously attenuated the effects of GDF11 on PC12 neural stem cells, which exerted that GDF11 regulated neural stem cells through ALK5-dependent PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. In summary, these results demonstrated GDF11 could be a negative regulator for neurogenesis via ALK5 activating PI3K-Akt pathway when it directly acted on neural stem cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High altitude (HA), with the main feature of hypobaric hypoxia, is an independent risk factor for thrombosis. However, little is known on the alterations of fibrinolytic system in adaptation to HA. In this study, we investigated changes of fibrinolytic system parameters between individuals permanently living at HA and low altitude (LA) regions, and provided data for further studies on HA-induced thrombotic disease. A total of 226 eligible participants, including 103 LA participants, 100 healthy HA subjects and 23 high altitude polycythemia (HAPC) patients, were recruited in this study. Six fibrinolytic parameters, i.e. fibrinogen (Fbg), D-dimer (DDi), antithrombin III (AT-III), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen (PLG) were analyzed respectively. PAI-1 and tPA were performed by using bio-immuno-assays and an automated coagulation analyzer was used to conduct Fbg, DDi, AT-III and PLG tests. Plasma levels of Fbg, DDi, PAI-1 and PLG were significantly higher in healthy HA group than in LA group (all p < 0.05), whereas tPA was significantly lower in healthy HA group. No significant difference in AT-III was observed between healthy HA and LA groups (p > 0.05). All these fibrinolytic parameters showed no significant distinctions between healthy HA subjects and HAPC patients (all p > 0.05). HGB showed no relationship with fibrinolytic parameters in HA cohort. This study demonstrates that HA environment has a significant effect on fibrinolytic system and provides a foundation for further studies on HA hypobaric hypoxia-induced thrombotic disease.

Objective: To explore the correlations between RBCs indexes and the basic coagulation parameters, and provide data for further studies on high altitude-induced thrombotic disease. Methods: A total of eligible 433 volunteers were divided into different groups according to HGB concentration and HCT, respectively. PT, APTT, TT and Fbg were measured by clotting assays. HGB content, HCT and PLT count were assessed by automated hematology analyzer. Results: APTT and PT were significantly higher in group 4 (high HGB or HCT groups) (p < 0.05 for all comparison) and PLT count was significantly lower in group 4 than in other groups (p < 0.01 for all comparison). APTT and PT showed negative correlations with HGB concentration (r = −0.168 and −0.165 resp.; both p < 0.01), whereas positive correlations were found between APTT and HCT, PT and HCT (r = 0.225 and 0.258, resp.; both p < 0.01). PLT, TT and Fbg showed no correlation with HGB and HCT. Conclusions: HGB and HCT may not correlate with basic coagulation parameters in high altitude population, their predictive value for high altitude-induced thrombotic disease may relatively independent and this remain to be determined in further studies.

Objective: According to the international guidelines, fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is unanimously used to treat coagulation disorders. The quality of FFP is critical for the clinical transfusion. Till now, few studies have integratedly evaluated the differences of FFP from blood donors at between high altitude (HA) and low altitude (LA). Besides, there were no special quality standards for HA FFP in China. Materials and methods: Up to 41 HA (Lhasa, 3700 m) and 46 LA (Chengdu, 500 m) blood donors were included in our study to estimate the differences of FFP from HA and LA blood donors. The concentration of total plasma proteins, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fbg), factor (F) II, FV, FVII, FVIII, FIX, FX, FXI, FXII, D-dimer, protein C (PC), protein S (PS), antithrombin III (ATIII) and von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) were determined, respectively. Results: As compared with FFP of LA blood donors, the total protein content of HA blood donors showed a significant decrease (65.2±8.9 vs.57.2±6.3 g/L; p<0.001); PT, aPTT, TT were significantly increased (p<0.001); the levels of FII, FV, FVII, FVIII, FIX, FX, FXI, FXII and vWF:Ag were notably decreased (all p<0.05), whereas Fbg and D-dimer were dramaticly increased (p = 0.038). Additionly, in HA blood donors, vWF: Ag and FVIII:C of O-group was significantly lower (p<0.05) than that of non-O-group. It should be noted that FVIII:C of HA blood donors (0.64±0.10 IU/mL) was lower than the current Chinese quality requirements for FFP (≥ 0.7 IU/ml). No significant differences were observed in PC, PS and ATIII. Conclusion: In general, our findings showed that the quality of FFP was significantly different between HA and LA blood donors, and the current Chinese quality requirements of FFP are not suitable for HA FFP. Therefore, setting up a special quality requirement for HA is quite necessary and meaningful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alpha1-antitrypsin is a kind of plasma protein that requires a sequence of different fractionation steps to get generally. To report an effective process for isolating and purifying alpha1-antitrypsin from Cohn Fraction IV based upon a new immunoaffinity chromatography medium, named “Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Select,” characterization of alpha1-antitrypsin (α1-AT) was performed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Western blot, and tandem mass spectroscopy. Total protein content was determined by the method of Bradford under visible light absorption at 595 nm. Pretreatment process and the immunoaffinity chromatography step achieved a 60.35 ± 1.39% yield. Thus, an overall 71.68 ± 1.32 fold increase in purity and a 41.88 ± 6.98% yield were obtained from plasma. The α1-AT had a specific activity of about 1.00–1.05 PU/mg. This technique will develop an effective process for isolating and purifying, with high purity and specific activity, alpha1-antitrypsin from Cohn Fraction IV or human whole plasma, which could be an efficient and scaled-up method for alpha1-antitrypsin products purification.

In order to increase the yield of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) and to reduce their associated thrombotic risks, the influence of washing conditions on the yield, purity, and balance of coagulation factors (FII, FVII, FIX, and FX), and inhibitor proteins (PC, PS, PZ, and AT [antithrombin]) in PCCs was investigated by orthogonal testing, in which three variables (sodium citrate, NaCl, and pH) and their three levels were selected. It was found that AT yield and purity were extraordinarily low, and at lower NaCl content, the general yield, purity, and balance were higher, lower, and better, respectively; however, the results became contrary at higher NaCl. Moreover, within the investigated levels, NaCl was the first determinant for the yield except AT and the purity except FVII, PC, PS, and AT. Sodium citrate was the first determinant for AT yield and FVII, PS, and AT purity. The yield except FII, PS, and AT decreased and the purity except PC increased with increase of sodium citrate content. Just for PC purity, pH was the first determinant. The effect with pH fluctuation on the yield and purity was characteristically unobvious. The outcome undoubtedly supplies the guidance to further improve PCCs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is increasingly used for the treatment of autoimmune and systemic inflammatory diseases with both licensed and off‐label indications. Recent studies indicated that IVIg‐mediated immunomodulation and anti‐inflammation are closely associated with the IgG sialylation, especially with IgG crystallizable fragment (Fc) sialylation. The sialic acid levels of the IgG molecules and Fc fragments in 12 IVIg preparations from six Chinese manufacturers were evaluated. The Fc fragments were derived from the papain digestion of IVIg, followed by affinity and size exclusion chromatography. The sialic acid levels in Fc fragments and IVIg preparations were determined by high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, after the sialic acid residues were released from the proteins. The results showed that the sialic acid levels in Chinese IVIg preparations ranged from 0.875 (mol/mol IgG) to 1.085 (mol/mol IgG), and the sialic acid levels in Fc fragments were from 0.321 (mol/mol Fc) to 0.361 (mol/mol Fc). Furthermore, the sialic acid levels of IVIg preparations and Fc fragments from different Chinese manufactures were significantly different. These findings will contribute to an increased understanding of Chinese IVIg preparations and the relationship between the sialic acid levels in IVIg preparations and their clinical efficacy in future clinical studies.

Aims: We evaluated whether Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) subtypes could be empirically derived within the Sino Longitudinal Study on Cognitive Decline (SILCODE) SCD cohort and examined associated neuroimaging markers, biomarkers, and clinical outcomes. Methods: A cluster analysis was performed on eight neuropsychological test scores from 124 SCD SILCODE participants and 57 normal control (NC) subjects. Structural and functional neuroimaging indices were used to evaluate the SCD subgroups. Results: Four subtypes emerged: (1) dysexecutive/mixed SCD (n = 23), (2) neuropsychiatric SCD (n = 24), (3) amnestic SCD (n = 22), and (4) cluster‐derived normal (n = 55) who exhibited normal performance in neuropsychological tests. Compared with the NC group, each subgroup showed distinct patterns in gray matter (GM) volume and the amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuations (ALFF). Lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values were only found in the neuropsychiatric SCD group relative to NC. Conclusion: The identification of empirically derived SCD subtypes demonstrates the presence of heterogeneity in SCD neuropsychological profiles. The cluster‐derived normal group may represent the majority of SCD individuals who do not show progressive cognitive decline; the dysexecutive/mixed SCD and amnestic SCD might represent high‐risk groups with progressing cognitive decline; and finally, the neuropsychiatric SCD may represent a new topic in SCD research.

Objective The safety and effectiveness of clinical transfusion are highly associated with clinical blood transfusion level. A survey was conducted with the aim of providing references to improve the level of clinical blood transfusion. Study design and methods A survey was undertaken by means of a questionnaire which consisted of hospitals’ basic conditions, utilization of blood products and application of autologous blood transfusion in hospitals with scale, geographic and religious diversity in Sichuan, China. Data analysis was conducted in 3 groups according to the official classification of hospital. Results 76.8% (384/500) hospitals answered the questions completely. From 2011 to 2015, the usage of whole blood showed significant decreasing trend (P = 0.047); in level 2 and level 3 hospitals, the used units of plasma and RBC were closely associated with the number of inpatient and operation (all r ≥ 0.442; P < 0.01). The plasma used per operation per year by level 3 hospitals and RBC used per inpatient per year by level 2 hospitals both showed a decreasing trend (P = 0.047 and P < 0.001); the plasma: RBC transfused by level 3 hospitals was higher than 1:1.8; the ABT rate was lower than 42.16% in all hospitals. Conclusions The clinical blood transfusion level of hospitals in Sichuan, China has improved a lot in the past 5 years, but problems still existed, such as whole blood still being used, overuse of plasma and low ABT rate, and further work and improvements are needed to strengthen the management of clinical blood transfusion.

Biosensors featuring single molecule detection present huge opportunities as well as challenges in food safety inspection, disease diagnosis, and environmental monitoring. Single‐molecule detection is largely lacking of high enough activity, precision molecule selectivity, and understanding in the exact operating mechanism. Single‐atom catalysts (SACs), especially those metals‐nitrogen‐carbon that mimic the natural metalloenzyme structure, and with well‐defined metal atom bond configurations, high level of molecular selectivity, and easy fabrication, endow single molecule detections with practical‐use feasibilities. The recent advances in single‐atom catalysts also present new pathways in the key mechanism understandings. In this short review, we will first visit the brief history and advantages of SACs that have been explored only recently for molecule‐scale biosensors, where they are analogous and also differentiated from those nanozymes and natural metalloenzymes. Their applications in electrochemical, photochemical, and photoelectrochemical sensors are then discussed comprehensively by focusing on the different molecule‐scale sensing modes in achieving local coordination‐modulated signal amplifications. Finally, we identify new opportunities and challenges faced by these SACs‐based single molecule detections in the further development of biosensors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), one of the most significant biomass‐derived renewable resources, has been widely utilized to create furan‐based value‐added chemicals such as 2,5‐diformylfuran (DFF), 5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA), 5‐formyl‐2‐furancarboxylic acid (FFCA), and 2,5‐furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Indeed, DFF, HMFCA and FFCA are key intermediate products during the oxidation of HMF to FDCA. Herein, this review aims to demonstrate the recent advances in metal‐catalyzed oxidation of HMF into FDCA via two different reaction routes (HMF‐DFF‐FFCA‐FDCA and HMF‐HMFCA‐FFCA‐FDCA). All the four furan‐based compounds are comprehensively discussed by the selective oxidation of HMF. Additionally, various metal catalysts, reaction conditions, and reaction mechanisms used to obtain the four different products are systematically reviewed. It is anticipated that this review will provide related researchers with new perspectives and speed up the development of this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel ethanolic two-phase system (ETPS) composed of Pluronic®L-64 (PL 64) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was constructed for the separation of two similar flavonoids of naringin (Nar) and neohesperidin (Neo) from the pomelo peel. The selectivity (S) data showed that DES prepared from tetrabutylammonium bromide (N4444Br) and glycerol (Gly) had the optimal distribution efficiency for Nar and Neo standards. A binodal curve of N4444Br-Gly/PL 64/ethanol system fitted to the nonlinear Merchuk relationship showed that the biphasic region was narrow for ETPS. The influences of the mass ratio of DESs and PL 64, DES concentration, PL 64 concentration, molar ratio of DESs, temperature, phosphate buffer solution, and ethanolic pH were studied in single-factor experiments. Under the optimal conditions, the maximum extraction efficiency (ENar = 68.32%, ENeo = 86.09%), partition coefficient (KNar = 6.66, KNeo = 19.13), and S (2.88) were obtained in the DESs-rich (bottom) phase. N4444Br-Gly, Nar, and Neo with recovery yields of 78.12%, 66.61%, and 68.03%, respectively, had been recovered using D101 macroporous resin. This proposed ETPS is efficient and environmentally friendly and is expected to avail meaningful references for the separation of natural products with similar structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The state of charge (SOC) of lithium batteries is an important parameter of battery management systems. We aim at the problem that the noise variance is fixed during the estimation of the battery state by the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), which leads to low estimation accuracy. Lithium battery SOC estimation based on the UKF and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is proposed. The first WOA is used to identify the parameters of the battery model. WOA–UKF is used to estimate the SOC of the battery, in which the observed noise variance and process noise variance of the UKF are updated through the second WOA, thereby the estimation accuracy is improved. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the improved method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Here first a 2D dual‐metal (Co/Zn) and leaf‐like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF‐L)‐pyrolysis approach is reported for the low‐cost and facile preparation of Co nanoparticles encapsulated into nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes (Co‐N‐CNTs). Importantly, the reasonable Co/Zn molar ratio in the ZIF‐L is the key to the emergence of the encapsulated microstructure. Specifically, high‐dispersed cobalt nanoparticles are fully encapsulated in the tips of N‐CNTs, leading to the full formation of highly active Co–N–C moieties for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR and OER). As a result, the obtained Co‐N‐CNTs present superior electrocatalytic activity and stability toward ORR and OER over the commercial Pt/C and IrO2 as well as most reported metal‐organic‐framework‐derived catalysts, respectively. Remarkably, as bifunctional air electrodes of the Zn–air battery, it also shows extraordinary charge–discharge performance. The present concept will provide a guideline for screening novel 2D metal‐organic frameworks as precursors to synthesize advanced multifunctional nanomaterials for cross‐cutting applications.

Senescence is the inevitable biological processes and is also considered as the biggest risk factor for the development of age - related diseases (ARDs) and geriatric syndrome (GS). Senescence is also known as inflammaging because it is characterized by persistent, long-term, low-grade inflammation named senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). However, the mechanism for the persistence of inflammaging remains largely unclear. To explore the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in senescence/inflammaging, we established the cellular senescence model and performed TMT-based comparative quantitative proteomics and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) to reveal the changes of EVs between young cells and senescent cells. A total of 3966 proteins were quantifiable, of which 132 were up-regulated, 144 were down-regulated, compared with the young cells. Subsequently, we chose 19 proteins involved in inflammation or proliferation to carry out PRM validation analysis. The result indicated that proteins promoting NF-κB signal pathway were up-regulated, and proteins promoting cell proliferation were down-regulated. The study provided a comprehensive altered proteomics profiles of EVs from senescent cells, and the result showed that EVs could serve as information carrier for further research on the pathogenesis and progression of senescence/inflammaging. The mechanism of inflammaging occurrence and development has yet been clear. Therefore, this study attempts to provide an improved understanding of inflammaging from the perspective of EVs. The proteomics analysis revealed that the most changed proteins were connected to inflammation signaling pathways, cell growth and cell death, and PRM analysis results showed that proteins involved in NF-κB signal pathway and cell proliferation were more changed. The research systematically analyzed the profiles of proteins in senescence cell model, and the result indicated that further research should focus on the relationship between EVs and senescence/inflammaging.
