Bio-Guided Fractionation of Cardamom Ethyl Acetate Fraction Promotes Glucose Uptake via GLUT4 Translocation through Insulin Signaling Pathway in the Skeletal Muscle.

Fang Liyuan L, Hironao Ken-Yu KY, Ashida Hitoshi H, Yamashita Yoko Y

Regulation of skeletal muscle glucose uptake is an effective strategy for reducing postprandial hyperglycemia and improving whole-body glucose homeostasis in the management of type 2 diabetes. The present study investigated that cardamom enhances glucose uptake in skeletal muscle in vitro and improves glucose tolerance in vivo. Bioactivity-guided fractionation of cardamom identified an ethyl acetate fraction (Fr. A) and its subfraction (Fr. A-i) as potent stimulators of glucose uptake in L6 myotubes. Both fractions significantly promoted glucose uptake by enhancing glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) translocation to the plasma membrane. Mechanistic investigations revealed activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway, accompanied by increased phosphorylation of Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160), a key regulator of GLUT4 vesicle trafficking, while no significant changes were observed in insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) or AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation. Fr. A induced a more pronounced effect on AS160 phosphorylation and was therefore selected for further evaluation. The antihyperglycemic potential of Fr. A was assessed in ICR mice using an oral glucose tolerance test. Oral administration of Fr. A (1 and 10 mg/kg body weight) significantly improved glucose tolerance and alleviated postprandial hyperglycemia. Cardamom in skeletal muscle and highlights its potential as a natural therapeutic candidate for the management of postprandial hyperglycemia.

Adrenomedullin system dysregulation predicts cardiogenic shock and mortality in acute coronary syndromes.

Wang Yifan Y, Danchin Nicolas N, Simon Tabassome T, Zeller Marianne M et al.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is the most dreadful complication of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Endothelial dysfunction and vascular leakage are hallmarks of CS pathophysiology; however, biomarkers reflecting these early processes are lacking. The adrenomedullin (ADM) system-the inactive precursor glycine-extended ADM (ADM-Gly), the activating enzyme peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM), and biologically active ADM (bio-ADM)-modulates vascular tone and permeability. This study investigated associations of ADM system components with CS and 1-year mortality risk after ACS. ADM-Gly, PAM, and bio-ADM were assessed in 4098 (Switzerland; SPUM-ACS) and 824 (France; FAST-MI) ACS patients without CS on admission. The primary endpoint was in-hospital CS; the secondary endpoint was 1-year mortality. Biomarker-outcome associations were analysed using multivariable-adjusted regression models, and the incremental predictive value beyond established risk scores was quantified. Higher ADM-Gly and bio-ADM, but not PAM, were associated with systemic inflammation and haemodynamic compromise. ADM-Gly and bio-ADM independently predicted CS risk in Switzerland (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] per log2 increase, 1.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-1.71, P < .001 and aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.10-1.70, P = .004) and France (adjusted risk ratio [RR] per log2 increase, 1.82, 95% CI 1.34-2.48, P < .001 and aRR 1.55, 95% CI 1.15-2.10, P = .004), and were associated with 1-year mortality risk (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] per log2 increase, 1.33, 95% CI 1.09-1.61, P = .005 and aHR 1.46, 95% CI 1.15-1.86, P = .002). Addition of ADM-Gly and bio-ADM to the ORBI risk score improved its discrimination (Δ area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.02), reclassification (net reclassification improvement 0.229), and model fit (Δ Akaike information criterion -26.9), with consistent results in external validation. ADM-Gly and bio-ADM, but not PAM, independently predict in-hospital CS and 1-year mortality risk in initially stable patients with ACS and improve early risk stratification.

Regulating Cells Fate and Function to Facilitate Bone Regeneration via Designing Programmable Bio-Interactive Materials.

Fan Qingrui Q, Cao Fuming F, Mao Junqiang J, Yin Pengbin P et al.

Achieving efficient bone repair necessitates a thorough understanding of the physiological activities of native bone tissue, enabling selection and design of appropriate materials. To date, artificial scaffolds have been developed from inert materials to bioactive materials and demonstrate the capabilities to promote bone repair. However, the complex physiological changes that occur during bone repair pose significant challenges to their practical clinical applications. In this Review, we summarize the studies of bone biology and the evolution of materials design in the context of bone-tissue engineering applications. Specifically, we emphasize the role of biomaterials from a materials science perspective in regulating cell fates. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of programmable bio-interactive materials as a potential solution for bone regeneration. These materials possess the ability to dynamically and precisely interact with biological systems, guiding the bone-tissue regeneration process. Additionally, we discuss the unmet needs and current challenges faced in the development of bio-interactive materials for bone-tissue regeneration. By highlighting emerging strategies in the field, we aim to shed light on future directions for research and development in this exciting area of study.

COVID-19 Vaccine Knowledge, Practice, and Attitudes Among Hemodialysis Patients in Egypt, Kenya, and Cameroon: A Multicenter Study.

Elsayed Enass E, Kotb Khaled M KM, Heiba Ahmed A, Elhussini Manal Shaker MS et al.

Patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and were prioritized for vaccination, yet vaccine hesitancy remains common. We assessed COVID-19 vaccine knowledge, acceptance, and attitudes among patients receiving HD in Egypt, Kenya, and Cameroon and identified factors associated with vaccine acceptance, prior infection, willingness to receive future doses, and postvaccination complications. Multicenter cross-sectional survey study. Between March 2021 and April 2022, 765 patients receiving maintenance HD and 196 non-dialysis controls were recruited from dialysis centers in Egypt, Kenya, and Cameroon. Sociodemographic characteristics, clinical comorbidities, prior COVID-19, sources of vaccine information, and exposure to vaccinated or infected relatives. COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, willingness to receive future doses, prior infection, and post-vaccination complications. Structured questionnaires assessed knowledge, practices, and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. Multivariable logistic regression identified factors independently associated with study outcomes. Vaccine acceptance was lower among patients receiving HD than nondialysis controls (58.2% vs 96.2%). Fear of side effects was the most common reason for refusal (39.3%). Postvaccination complications were less frequent among patients receiving HD (22.3% vs 44.3%). Hesitancy was more common among women, younger participants, and those with comorbidities or no prior COVID-19. Having vaccinated or previously infected relatives was associated with a greater willingness to receive future doses. Cross-sectional design limits causal inference. Nonprobability sampling and unmatched controls may limit generalizability. COVID-19 cases may have been underreported because of limited testing. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among patients receiving HD is driven by fear, misinformation, and sociodemographic factors. Targeted education and improved access to reliable vaccine information may help increase uptake in this population.

A cavity-reduced prefusion RSV F bivalent vaccine elicits durable and protective immunity.

Liu Lijie L, Yan Mengrong M, Liang Ruoxu R, Wu Qingxin Q et al.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains a major cause of severe respiratory disease, and stabilization of the prefusion (preF) conformation of the F glycoprotein is central for vaccine development. Here, we report a structure-guided engineering strategy that enhances preF stability by reducing the hydrophobic cavity within the trimeric F protein. Targeted modifications at metastability-associated sites generated RVF-88, a disulfide-free stabilized preF immunogen that preserves key neutralizing epitopes, including antigenic site Ø, while exhibiting improved structural integrity and long-term storage stability. Formulated as an unadjuvanted bivalent vaccine, RVF-88 elicited potent neutralizing antibody responses and durable immune protection lasting up to 5 months in mice. Vaccination also protected both mice and cotton rats against RSV challenge. Structural analyses confirmed the intended cavity-reduction design, revealing a reduced apical hydrophobic cavity volume and surface area while maintaining the prefusion architecture. Together, these findings establish hydrophobic cavity reduction as a rational strategy for stabilizing prefusion RSV F and provide a promising next-generation vaccine candidate with improved stability and immunogenicity for further clinical development.

Effect of solid-state fermentation on the release and antioxidant activity of soluble polyphenols from wheat bran.

Tian Xiaomin X, Guo Yuqiu Y, Sun Linlin L, Chen Lirong L et al.

Using wheat bran as substrate, four solid-state fermentation methods were compared for soluble polyphenol release. The effect of Bio-enzymatic synergy (BES) is the most significant, producing 4.85 mg GAE/g of total phenolic substances, which is 45.77% higher than the control group (CK). LC-MS analysis revealed that ferulamide and 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid predominated in positive ion mode, while salicylic acid dominated in negative mode. Notably, salicylic acid was found almost exclusively in ester-bound and glycoside-bound fractions (>88%), indicating its release requires cleavage of covalent linkages to cell wall components. The release of salicylic acid results from the synergistic action of Bio-enzymatic synergy and alkaline hydrolysis. Both in vitro and in vivo assays confirmed that BES-released polyphenols enhanced antioxidant activity, reducing ROS and MDA levels while increasing GSH-Px activity and extending C. elegans lifespan. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for developing targeted fermentation-enzymatic processes to produce functional wheat bran extracts.
