The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Genetic Insights in Precision Cardiovascular Medicine: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract A medical condition called cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects the heart or blood vessels, and about 40% of its causes can be attributed to genetic factors. The pathophysiology of CVD is still unknown despite numerous studies identifying important environmental and genetic factors. Genetic data research has significantly increased due to the application of genome-wide association studies. The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology demonstrates clear advantages in managing intricate projects, outperforming traditional statistical methods in processing such data. The use of AI in the status of genetic research on CVD and medicine is briefly reviewed in the opening section of this article. Then, it gives a complete picture of how AI is used in genetic CVD research, including genetic data-driven diagnosis and prognosis, genetic variation analysis, gene expression profiles, gene interactions, and analysis of genes using knowledge bases. Even though much research has yielded significant findings, it is still early. The main disadvantages are database limitations, the underuse of AI in systematic biology analysis, and the lack of a theoretical framework for interpreting analysis results. The paper concludes with future directions and the significance of creating comprehensive, high-quality, large-sample-size data-sharing resources. Much research is going into how to use AI analysis techniques to help with development.

Nutrition and diet in children with orofacial clefts in Africa: a scoping review

Background and aimThe burden of orofacial clefts (OFCs) has declined globally except in sub-Saharan Africa, with a great disease burden in North Africa. Children with OFCs have a high risk of malnutrition, and African countries have some of the highest malnutrition rates. This scoping review assessed the status of research on OFCs and nutrition and feeding among children living in African countries.MethodsWe followed the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for conducting scoping reviews. We searched eleven databases for articles on malnutrition and feeding among children with OFCs living in African countries. No restriction was done by type of study or publication date. Books, book chapters, and reviews were excluded. Only publications in English language were included. We extracted information about the publication year, study design, setting, location, participants’ age, data collection methods, international collaboration, and funding. We classified articles into studies assessing (1) the impact of nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy on OFCs, (2) the impact of OFCs on malnutrition, (3) feeding problems in children with OFCs, and (4) the impact of nutritional status on OFCs repair outcomes. We calculated frequencies and used bar charts and a map.ResultsOut of 208 search results, 36 were duplicates, and 25 eventually fit the inclusion criteria, with 52% retrieved from Google Scholar. About 80% of the studies were from four countries: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Uganda; 72% were hospital-based and 52% were cross-sectional. The most frequent data collection method was clinical examination and questionnaires. Most studies focused on feeding problems in children with OFCs (44%) and the impact of OFCs on malnutrition (32%). International collaboration was observed in six studies, with one study showing South-South collaboration. Only two studies were funded.ConclusionsThere is a predominance of under-funded descriptive research not indexed by international databases. Minimal research has been directed to population-level OFC preventive programs in primary healthcare settings and assessing interventions supporting children with OFCs. A research agenda is needed to prioritize research needs and secure funds to support South-South collaboration to address the nutrition and feeding-related problems associated with OFCs.

High-Yield-Related Genes Participate in Mushroom Production

In recent years, the increasing global demand for mushrooms has made the enhancement of mushroom yield a focal point of research. Currently, the primary methods for developing high-yield mushroom varieties include mutation- and hybridization-based breeding. However, due to the long breeding cycles and low predictability associated with these approaches, they no longer meet the demands for high-yield and high-quality varieties in the expansive mushroom market. Modern molecular biology technologies such as RNA interference (RNAi) and gene editing, including via CRISPR-Cas9, can be used to precisely modify target genes, providing a new solution for mushroom breeding. The high-yield genes of mushrooms can be divided into four categories based on existing research results: the genes controlling mycelial growth are very suitable for genetic modification; the genes controlling primordium formation are directly or indirectly regulated by the genes controlling mycelial growth; the genes controlling button germination are more difficult to modify; and the genes controlling fruiting body development can be regulated during the mycelial stage. This article reviews the current research status for the four major categories of high-yield-related genes across the different stages of mushroom growth stages, providing a foundation and scientific basis for using molecular biology to improve mushroom yield and promote the economic development of the global edible-mushroom industry.

The impact of diabetes mellitus on tendon pathology: a review

Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases worldwide, leading to complications, mortality, and significant healthcare expenditures, which impose a substantial social and financial burden globally. A diabetic environment can induce metabolic changes, negatively affecting tendon homeostasis, leading to alterations in biomechanical properties and histopathology. Numerous studies have investigated the mechanisms through which diabetes exerts pathological effects on tendons, including increased free radical production, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, deposition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and microvascular changes. These metabolic changes damages tendon structure, biomechanics, and tendon repair processes. The proliferation of tendon stem cells decreases, apoptosis increases, and abnormal differentiation, along with abnormal expression of myofibroblasts, ultimately lead to insufficient tendon repair, fibrosis, and remodeling. Although researches unveiling the effects of diabetes on tendinopathy, fibrosis or contracture, and tendon injury healing are growing, systematic understanding is still lacking. Therefore, this review summarizes the current research status and provides a comprehensive overview, offering theoretical guidance for future in-depth exploration of the impact of diabetes on tendons and the development of treatments for diabetes-related tendon diseases.
