A total of 557 anoikis-related genes (ARGs) were obtained from the GeneCard database. Differentially expressed ARGs (DEARGs) were obtained by intersecting DEGs with ARGs. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), support vector machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) were used to screen the hub DEARGs. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determine the expression of hub DEARGs. A total of 21 DEARGs were obtained, all of which were up-regulated in AMI samples. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the DEARGs were mainly enriched in peptidase activity and extracellular matrix. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed a significant difference in 14 immune cells between the AMI and normal groups. Nine feature risk genes, including ITPRIP, MMP9, NAMPT, CDKN1A, PLAUR, PLAU, SERPINA1, THBS1, and FN1 were screened by LASSO, SVM, and RF. The RT-qPCR analyses verified that the feature genes were up-regulated in AMI patients, which were basically consistent with the main bioinformatics analysis results. We also validated 9 hub DEARGs in the GSE48060 dataset and constructed a nomogram by integrating these DEARGs. This study analyzed the differential expression of ARGs and immune profiles in AMI and normal samples, screened 9 risk feature genes for predicting AMI, and provided a theoretical basis for the immunotherapy regimen of AMI.","PeriodicalId":9088,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research","volume":"58 ","pages":"e14989"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12801198/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145984518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of massage with NLC-Q gel on biochemical parameters after a traumatic lesion of the gastrocnemius muscle. Forty-five male Wistar rats were divided into five groups (control, lesion, lesion treated with NLC-Q gel, lesion treated by massage with placebo gel, and lesion treated by massage with NLC-Q gel). The gastrocnemius muscle was lesioned by mechanical crushing, and treatments began 24 h after injury. Massage was performed at 12 h intervals for a total of five 5-min sessions. Serum and muscle creatine kinase (CK) concentrations and muscle oxidative stress (concentration of reactive oxygen species [ROS], lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyls, and activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes) were evaluated 96 h after lesion formation. Blood CK levels increased in all injured groups (P<0.001); however, the interventions reduced plasma CK compared to the lesion group (P<0.05). Interventions reduced lipid peroxidation (P<0.05), but only the NLC-Q gel and massage with NLC-Q gel reduced the concentration of ROS and protein oxidation in the lesion group (P<0.05). These findings indicated that NLC-Q gel and massage with NLC-Q gel can help repair muscle damage and reduce oxidative stress parameters.","PeriodicalId":9088,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research","volume":"58 ","pages":"e14924"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12799096/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145984438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Liquiritin, a primary flavonoid compound found in the medicinal plant licorice, exhibits distinct pharmacological properties including neuroprotection, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects. However, further research on its role and mechanism in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is needed. The aim of this work was to elucidate the protection of liquiritin against myocardial I/R insult and whether liquiritin-mediated autophagy restoration was associated with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) in vivo and in vitro. Liquiritin administration by oral gavage inhibited pathological injury of myocardial I/R injured rats, evidenced by improved cardiac function and reduced infarct size. Moreover, liquiritin restored excessive autophagy by promoting the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (AKT) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which was accompanied by PIK3CA upregulation. Mechanistically, silencing PIK3CA in rat H9c2 cardiomyoblasts diminished the beneficial effects against oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury reflected by exacerbated apoptosis and dysregulated autophagy mediated by the classical PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Liquiritin inhibited excessive autophagic flux via decreasing autophagosome-lysosome fusion, which was similar to the effect of the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine. Moreover, this phenomenon was enhanced when liquiritin and chloroquine were used in combination. Collectively, our work revealed that the protective effect of liquiritin against myocardial I/R injury may be attributed to its autophagy restoration mediated by PIK3CA.","PeriodicalId":9088,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research","volume":"58 ","pages":"e14964"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12799095/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145984485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to improve immunodiagnostic tools for Schistosoma mansoni in resource-limited settings by developing monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) using locally available materials. MoAbs were produced using hybridoma technology and assessed for specificity to soluble worm antigen preparation (SWAP) through ELISA. Immuno-phosphatase and immuno-peroxidase staining were employed to localize target antigens across various life cycle stages and assess cross-reactivity with related species. Four distinct MoAbs demonstrated strong phosphatase and peroxidase activity in the gut and tegumental tubercles of S. mansoni adult worms, with extreme (4+) phosphatase staining. The dorsal tubercles and oral/ventral suckers showed strong (3+) peroxidase staining. S. mansoni schistosomula showed positive staining in the oral sucker and penetration glands, while cercariae showed no reactivity. Cross-reactivity with S. haematobium was minimal, showing only weak (1+) peroxidase staining in gut and tegumental structures, as well as the intact worm's tegumental tubercles and suckers. In conclusion, the MoAbs developed exhibited high specificity for S. mansoni with limited cross-reactivity to S. haematobium, supporting their potential utility in locally produced, sensitive immunodiagnostic tools to strengthen schistosomiasis control and elimination efforts in endemic regions.","PeriodicalId":9088,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research","volume":"58 ","pages":"e15126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12799094/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145984497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semaphorin 6A (SEMA6A) is a member of the semaphorin family, and its specific biological function in CRC progression remains unclear. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that SEMA6A expression was downregulated in CRC tissues and that low expression of SEMA6A was associated with a poor prognosis. Compared with those in normal colorectal epithelial cells, SEMA6A expression levels were lower in CRC cell lines. CACO2 and SW48 cells were chosen to construct stable SEMA6A-knockdown and SEMA6A-overexpressing cell lines. SEMA6A knockdown promoted CACO2 proliferation. Conversely, SEMA6A overexpression inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of SW48 cells. Transwell and wound healing assays demonstrated that SEMA6A overexpression inhibited the invasion and migration ability of SW48 cells. SEMA6A overexpression might impede CRC cell migration and invasion by inhibiting the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, as evidenced by the downregulation of N-cadherin expression and the upregulation of E-cadherin expression in SW48 cells. To further validate the role of SEMA6A in CRC progression in vivo, transplanted tumor and liver metastasis mouse models were constructed in nude mice by injecting stable SEMA6A-overexpressing SW48 cell lines. SEMA6A overexpression inhibited tumor growth in SW48 tumor-bearing mice and the expression of Ki-67 in tumor tissues. In addition, SEMA6A overexpression resulted in a marked decrease in liver metastasis of CRC cells, with decreased numbers of hepatic metastatic nodules and infiltration of cancer cells.

In this single-center retrospective cohort study, adult patients admitted to the ICU between January 2023 and October 2024 were included. The PRE-DELIRIC score was calculated within 24 h of admission. Delirium was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) every 8 h. Model discrimination was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Among 580 patients, 176 (30.4%) developed delirium. The model showed good discrimination (AUROC 0.84; 95%CI: 0.81-0.87) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2=8.96, P=0.34). At the optimal cut-off point of 30%, sensitivity was 81.8% and specificity 78.2%, with 90.8% negative predictive value. Performance remained consistent across surgical (AUROC 0.84), medical (AUROC 0.86), and trauma patients (AUROC 0.85). Delirious patients had longer ICU stays (median 11.2 vs 7.1 days, P<0.001) and higher mortality (15.9 vs 10.4%, P=0.028). The PRE-DELIRIC model demonstrated reliable predictive performance in Chinese ICU settings. Integration into routine nursing assessment could guide individualized preventive interventions and optimize resource utilization.","PeriodicalId":9088,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research","volume":"58 ","pages":"e14690"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12645441/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145556349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
