Temporal trends and regional differences of initial oral antiarrhythmic drug options in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation: a report from the GLORIA-AF registry

Abstract Background New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) are commonly used for treating such patients. However, whether there are temporal changes and regional differences in the choice of AADs in direct acting non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (DOACs) era is less studied. Purpose The present study aimed to analyze the temporal trends and regional differences of initial oral AAD options in patients with new-onset AF in the GLORIA-AF registry, based on a proposed modernized classification of AADs in 2018 (Circulation, 2018, PMID: 30354657). AADs involved in the present study included traditional Vaughn-Williams Class I to Class IV AAD, Class IId AAD (digoxin), and Class VII AAD, which acts on the upstream of arrhythmia including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition, angiotensin receptor blocker, and stains. Methods Temporal changes regarding the AAD use between the two phases of GLORIA-AF and regional differences of AADs choice were investigated. Factors associated with the choice of different AADs were established by multivariate logistic regression. Results Among the 36,617 participants in the GLORIA-AF registry, 33,208 (90.7%) were prescribed with AADs: 74.0% were rate control and 10.2% were rhythm control, and among the prescribed AADs, single and dual AADs were used in 73.3% and 24.9%, respectively. Moreover, 70.5% patients received upstream target modulators (Class VII AAD). Class IIa AADs (beta-blockers) were the most commonly prescribed AAD and slightly increased from Phase II (60.58%) to Phase III (62.91%) while the use of Class IId AAD (e.g. digoxin) decreased regardless of single or combined use. AADs use varied significantly among regions but the temporal trends and regional differences were similar with that of the overall cohort. Age, gender, comorbidities, admission signs, region, and concomitant medications (e.g. anticoagulants) were associated with the choices of different AADs. Conclusions In the DOAC era, new-onset AF patients receiving AAD commonly included upstream therapy. Rate control was still the dominant strategy for patients with new-onset AF but the use of Class IId AAD significantly decreased with the increased use of Class IIa AAD. The choice of AADs demonstrated significant regional differences and concomitant anticoagulants played important roles.Temporal trends in GLORIA-AFComparisons of AADs use in GLORIA-AF

Identification and Functional Analysis of Git3 G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Ganoderma boninense PER71

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral components of eukaryotic heterotrimeric G proteins, playing crucial roles in detecting extracellular signals and initiating the activity of signaling proteins within cells to activate cellular responses to these signals. The objectives of this study are to identify and characterize the function of Git3, a Class III GPCR protein, in the oil palm pathogen Ganoderma boninense. To identify the potential genes encoded for GPCR in this fungus, intensive data mining on the genome and transcriptome data has been carried out. A total of six classes of GPCRs have been identified. These include Class II pheromone detectors, Class III carbon detectors, Class IV nitrogen detectors, Class VII proteins similar to glycosyltransferase, Class VIII proteins similar to hemolysin, and Class X protein receptors. Among these, the Class III protein Git3, postulated to be involved in glucose sensing and fungal pathogenicity, was selected for gene knockdown using RNA interference (RNAi). A plasmid, designated pUChph-GIT3, was constructed, to target git3 silencing by incorporating a hygromycin resistance gene cassette and antisense sequences of git3. Transformation of G. boninense PER71 with pUChph-GIT3 produced five potential Δgit3 gene-silenced mutants. PCR analysis confirmed the integration of the RNAi expression cassette into the fungal genome. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis revealed significant reductions in git3 expression in three G. boninense mutants, M42, M66, and M5 by 47%, 23%, and 13%, respectively. The Disease Severity Index (DSI) indicated slower disease progression in oil palm plantlets infected with Δgit3 mutants compared to those infected with wild-type G. boninense PER71. In conclusion, this study successfully isolated and characterized the git3 GPCR from G. boninense and demonstrated that it might play a role during the early stages of infection, as the mutants were able to slow the progression of infection in oil palm plantlets.

Another issue pertains to cognitive processes, whereby students are prone to being unduly influenced by information that they initially encounter, without engaging in critical reasoning to seek further evidence. Furthermore, learners are inadequately trained in the analysis of information. This research employs a classroom action research design, comprising four phases: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles at Santo Yusup Junior High School in Bandung. The participants were students in class VIIIA, and the material covered was Jesus Proclaimed the Kingdom of God Through Parables and Miracles. The research was conducted in September 2024. The data collection techniques employed included observation, field notes, and the documentation of students' abilities to reason critically. The data analysis employed descriptive qualitative techniques. The findings of the initial cycle of research indicated an enhancement in the capacity to reason critically and a heightened level of student engagement. However, these outcomes did not yet align with the anticipated objectives. In Cycle II, there was a notable enhancement in both critical reasoning and affective learning. The research results demonstrate a 40.12% increase in critical reasoning and learner involvement in Catholic Religious Education. It is hoped that the PBL approach will foster a more active and collaborative learning atmosphere, in alignment with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum and the values espoused in the Pancasila Learner Profile.
