The diagnosis and monitoring of testicular diseases can be associated with testicular microcirculation; however, there are currently no effective non-invasive methods for super-resolution imaging of testicular microcirculation. In this study, we introduced state-of-the-art graph-based tracking with the Kalman motion model algorithm to non-invasively image human testicular microcirculation for the first time with a regular frame-rate clinical ultrasound imaging system (37 Hz). Two distinct testicular vessels with an 81 µm separation were resolved in the testicular vasculature, surpassing all other imaging modalities. In a retrospective study, we performed contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations(CEUS) and ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) processing on the included 76 infertile patients and 15 healthy controls from August 2021 to May 2023 and obtained super-resolution images of testicular microcirculation with sub-diffraction resolution. Through the results of one-way analysis of variance tests and receiver operating characteristic analyses, we found that the ULM-based parameters hold promise as clinical guidance for differentiating between non-obstructive and obstructive male infertility. The mean vessel diameter achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.920 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.847–0.994, <i>p</i> < .001) with a cut-off value of 170.9 µm in oligoasthenospermia, and an AUC of 0.952 (95% CI: 0.875–1.000, <i>p</i> < .001) with a cut-off value of 169.9 µm in azoospermia patients, respectively, addressing a significant clinical challenge.","PeriodicalId":34127,"journal":{"name":"VIEW","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139461633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has attracted great attention in tissue engineering. Melatonin (MT), a hormone mainly secreted at night, plays an important role in tissue repair. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) are considered ideal drug delivery vehicles and MT-sEV (sleep-related sEV) have the potential ability to promote cartilage regeneration. Here, biomimetic multilayer scaffolds were fabricated using 3D bioprinting. A double network hydrogel, composed of methacrylated hyaluronic acid and gelatin methacryloyl (HG), was prepared. MT-sEV and HG hydrogel were used to create a cartilage layer. A bone layer was formed using poly(ε-caprolactone) and hydroxyapatite ultralong nanowires. Additionally, two bioinks were alternately printed at the interface layer. The results of RNA sequencing revealed the potential regulatory mechanisms. MT-sEV showed promotional effects on cell migration, proliferation, chondrogenic differentiation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Moreover, MT-sEV altered macrophage polarization and regulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the biomimetic multilayer scaffolds promoted cartilage regeneration. These experiments demonstrated the ability of MT-sEV to regulate the immune microenvironment and promote the secretion of ECM, providing a promising strategy for cartilage regeneration.","PeriodicalId":34127,"journal":{"name":"VIEW","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139422465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, whether increased lactate affects apoptosis of neutrophils and aggravates sepsis development, and the molecular mechanism remain unknown. In this study, first, we analyzed the transcriptional profiles of blood cells in sepsis patients (n = 39) and healthy volunteers (n = 40) to reveal that there is close correlation between the lactate-related gene expression changes associated with lactate production and immune function in leukocytes, especially in neutrophils. Further, we explored the close relationship between lactate and delayed neutrophil apoptosis in human neutrophils. Programmed cell death 1 legand (PD-L1) was highly expressed in septic patients compared with healthy volunteers. Then, we indicated that elevated levels of lactate in human neutrophils decreased neutrophil apoptosis (<i>P</i> < .001) by upregulating PD-L1 expression. Inhibition of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) significantly attenuated neutrophil apoptosis caused by lactate (<i>P</i> < .001). We further performed in vivo experiments in sepsis mice model and determined that increased lactate decreased neutrophil apoptosis (<i>P</i> < .05) and reduces mice survival rate (<i>P</i> < .001), which could also be rescued by MCT1 inhibitor (<i>P</i> < .05). This study revealed that elevated level of lactate in sepsis upregulates PD-L1 expression to decrease apoptosis through MCT1 in neutrophils, which provides new insight into sepsis treatment strategy by reducing lactate accumulation.","PeriodicalId":34127,"journal":{"name":"VIEW","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138823408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the exploration of TCF21 and ERβ expression regulation at the molecular level remains limited. Here, by using bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification, we identified PES1, also known as Pescadillo, as a negative regulator in the development of endometriosis that downregulates TCF21 and ERβ expression in ESCs. PES1 overexpression regulated critical biological processes involved in endometriosis development, such as invasion and apoptosis. A coimmunoprecipitation assay showed that PES1 could form a complex with Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1). Further analyses elucidated that siPES1 in ectopic lesions decreased the stability of FOXM1 protein and reduced the binding activities of FOXM1 to TCF21 and ESR2 promoters, thus weakening the transcriptional inhibition of TCF21 and ERβ by FOXM1. Moreover, in an endometriosis mouse model, overexpressing PES1 effectively reduced the growth of ectopic lesions and suppressed TCF21 and ERβ expression, which suggests a promising therapeutic strategy for endometriosis. Collectively, our results indicate that the loss of PES1 in ectopic lesions contributes to endometriosis progression by upregulating ERβ and TCF21 expression through heterodimer formation with FOXM1. Moreover, targeting PES1 could serve as a treatment method for endometriosis.","PeriodicalId":34127,"journal":{"name":"VIEW","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138572201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, a variety of antioxidants have been developed to protect against ototoxicity.
