Abstract
In low-dimensional Ising spin systems, an interesting observation is the presence of step magnetization at low temperatures. Here we combine both DC and pulsed magnetic fields to study the 1/3 magnetization plateau and multiple steps in the Ising spin-chain material α-CoV2O6. Magnetization in pulsed fields is quite different from that in DC fields, showing multiple steps in an intermediate range of 4.2-6 K, inverted hysteresis below 4.2 K and asymmetric magnetization in negative fields below 11 K. We demonstrate that these unusual behaviors in magnetization are caused by the spin dynamics and the anomalous magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in α-CoV2O6, i.e., abrupt changes of sample temperature in adiabatic conditions. We successfully separate the influence between the intrinsic slow spin dynamics and the quasi-extrinsic temperature change. From the MCE, we find that some irreversible behavior is originated from the slow spin dynamics. Two different slow dynamics associated with the metastable steps are observed: one is sensitive to the slow field sweep rate at the order of ∼mT s-1and weakly depends on temperature, while the other responds to the rapid field sweep rate of ∼kT s-1and dominates at lowest temperature. We also distinguish that the metastable transition atH4is the first order and crucial for the ferrimagnetic to ferromagnetic transition. This study is useful to the understanding of multistep magnetization in α-CoV2O6and sheds light on recent experimental findings of related compounds.

Abstract
Background Extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) is characterized by extensive metastases, aggressive progression, and poor prognosis. Chemotherapy is applied as a preferred first-line regimen for ES-SCLC, but inadequate for improving its overall survival. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is widely used in the clinical practice of ES-SCLC for its synergy with chemotherapy. However, there is still no substantial evidence to prove that TCM can effectively improve the long-term efficacy of ES-SCLC patients. The study intends to determine whether the TCM with chemotherapy can improve the overall survival (OS) in treating with ES-SCLC when compared with chemotherapy alone. Method/design A multicenter, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be conducted to determine whether the TCM granules combined with chemotherapy can improve the OS of ES-SCLC. Two hundred seventy participants will randomly receive 4–6 cycles (21 days per cycle) of chemotherapy plus TCM granules or placebo. The primary outcome measure is OS. The secondary outcome measures includes progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), quality of life (QoL), and tumor markers. Visits will be performed at the end of each cycle during the treatment period and then every 3 months in the follow-up period until the patients’ death or study completion. Discussion The study’s result will provide a high-level evidence for TCM granules using with chemotherapy on the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The association between the risk of fractures and suboptimal vitamin D (Vit-D) status remains controversial in children. This meta-analysis suggested that serum 25(OH)Vit-D levels were lower in pediatric cases with fractures. 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)Vit-D) levels less than 50 nmol/L were associated with increased fracture risk in children. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to assess the association between serum 25(OH)Vit-D and the risk of fractures in children, and to explore the sources of heterogeneity and investigate their impact on results. METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted for observational studies comparing serum 25(OH)Vit-D levels between fracture and non-fracture pediatric cases. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RESULTS Analysis on 17 case-control and 6 cross-sectional studies (2929 fracture cases and 5000 controls) suggested that 25(OH)Vit-D was lower in fracture cases than in controls (pooled mean difference (MD) = - 3.51 nmol/L; 95% confidence interval (CI): - 5.60 to - 1.42) with a heterogeneity (I2) of 73.9%. The sensitivity analysis which merged the case-control studies that had a NOS score ≥ 4 showed a pooled MD of - 4.35 nmol/L (95% CI: - 6.64 to - 2.06) with a heterogeneity (I2) of 35.9%. Pooled odds ratio of fracture in subjects with 25(OH)Vit-D ≤ 50 nmol/L compared to subjects with 25(OH)Vit-D > 50 nmol/L was 1.29 (95% CI: 1.10 to 1.53; I2 < 1%). CONCLUSION This study indicated that serum 25(OH)Vit-D levels were lower in pediatric patients with fractures. 25(OH)Vit-D ≤ 50 nmol/L was associated with increased fracture risk in children.

Abstract
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is associated with osteopenia which could persist into adulthood affecting attainment of Peak Bone Mass thus resulting in osteoporosis in late adulthood. We previously reported a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial(the Cal study) showing significant bone health improvement with 2-year calcium(Ca)+Vit-D supplementation for AIS girls. This study addressed the important issue whether bone health improvement from the initial 2-year Ca+Vit-D supplementation could persist as subjects approached towards Peak Bone Mass at 6-year ie after 4-year of supplement discontinuation. This was an extension of the Cal study on AIS girls (11-14 years old, mean age=12.9 years, Tanner stage<IV) with femoral neck aBMD Z-score<0 and Cobb angle≥15∘. 330 subjects were randomized to Group1(placebo), Group2(600mgCa+400-IU-Vit-D3/day) or Group3(600mgCa+800-IU-Vit-D3/day) for 2-year supplementation after which supplementation was stopped. Investigations at baseline, 2-year and 6-year included High-resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography(HR-pQCT) at distal radius and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry(DXA) at both hips. 270(81.8%) subjects completed 2-year supplementation when changes in left femoral neck aBMD, trabecular vBMD, Trabecular BV/TV, Trabecular Number and Trabecular Separation indicated significant bone health improvement with Ca+Vit-D supplementation(p<0.05). At 6-year(mean age=19.2 years), no between-group difference on bone parameters was noted except increase in Cortical Thickness being greater only in Group3 than in Group1. After 4-year supplement discontinuation, the treatment effect from the initial 2-year supplementation mostly dissipated indicating the need of continued supplementation in AIS girls to sustain therapeutic improvement on bone health as subjects approach towards Peak Bone Mass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neuropathic pain (NP) is one of the most intractable complications of spinal cord injury (SCI). This study aims to explore the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG1 in influencing SCI-induced NP. MATERIALS AND METHODS After establishment of the spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model in rats, spinal tissues were extracted. SNHG1 level in rat spinal tissues was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The role of SNHG1 in the development of NP was explored by assessing paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) in model rats. The interaction between SNHG1 and CDK4 was explored by Luciferase assay and RIP (RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and qRT-PCR were conducted to determine inflammatory factor levels in rat spinal tissues. RESULTS SNHG1 was upregulated in rats undergoing SNL. Knockdown of SNHG1 alleviated the development of NP and overexpression of SNHG1 was capable of inducing NP symptoms in uninjured rats. SNHG1 induced NP by directly regulating CDK4 level. CONCLUSIONS SNHG1 is a novel target in the treatment of NP associated with neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Background:Therapeutic equivalence of CT-P17 to reference adalimumab (ref-adalimumab) has been shown in patients with moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through primary 24-week results [1]. Here, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and immunogenicity results up to 52-week, including transition data from ref-adalimumab to CT-P17 are presented.Objectives:To evaluate efficacy, PK, safety and immunogenicity when switched from ref-adalimumab to CT-P17 compared to maintaining CT-P17 or ref-adalimumab.Methods:In this study, 648 moderate-to-severe active RA patients despite methotrexate treatment were randomized (1:1) to either CT-P17 or ref-adalimumab and treated with doses of 40 mg every 2 weeks up to Week 24. Prior to dosing at Week 26, 608 patients were randomized again to either maintaining their treatments or being switched from ref-adalimumab to CT-P17. Efficacy, PK, safety, and immunogenicity were assessed up to Week 52.Results:After the second randomization, 303 patients continued with CT-P17, 153 patients continued with ref-adalimumab and 151 patients switched from ref-adalimumab to CT-P17 treatments, up to Week 48. Demographics and baseline characteristics were similar among the 3 groups. Sustained and comparable efficacy in terms of ACR20/50/70 response rates was achieved not only in the maintenance groups (CT-P17 or ref-adalimumab) but also in the switched from ref-adalimumab to CT-P17 group up to Week 52 (Figure 1).Figure 1.ACR 20/50/70 Response Rates up to 1 YearAbbreviation: ref-adalimumab, reference adalimumab.Note. There were patients who could not visit the study site due to COVID-19 pandemic and were counted as nonresponder for ACR response at Week 52.In terms of PK, mean trough serum concentration (Ctrough) were maintained after Week 24 in all 3 groups. The observed mean Ctrough were within the reported therapeutic ranges of ref-adalimumab trough levels in RA patients (5-8 μg/mL).The safety profile after transition was comparable among the 3 groups (Table 1). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was neutropenia. Similar proportions of patients in all 3 groups experienced at least 1 TEAE: injection site reactions, hypersensitivity/allergic reactions and infections. One malignancy (basal cell carcinoma; unrelated) was reported in the ref-adalimumab maintenance group. Safety data accumulated over 1 year also showed comparable results among the 3 groups. Anti-drug antibody (ADA) and neutralizing antibody (NAb) results were similar among the 3 groups. At Week 52, the proportions of patients who had ADA/NAbs were 28.4%/24.8% patients in CT-P17 maintenance, 27.0%/24.3% patients in ref-adalimumab maintenance and 28.3%/26.3% patients in switched to CT-P17 groups.Conclusion:Single transition from ref-adalimumab to CT-P17 was efficacious and safe without increase in immunogenicity. Also, efficacy, PK, safety and immunogenicity profiles were comparable between CT-P17 and ref-adalimumab up to Week 52.References:[1]J Kay et al, 2020.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Accumulating evidence verified that microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in the development of several cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS The levels of miR-138-5p and forkhead box c1 (FOXC1) were examined using quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, migration, and Transwell invasion assays were conducted to examine the impact of miR-138-5p on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The protein expression of FOXC1 was detected using Western blotting assay. The tumor growth of HCC cell in vivo was analyzed using transplanted tumor model. The expressions of FOXC1 and Ki67 in vivo were assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. RESULTS We testified that miR-138-5p was down-expressed in HCC and the low level of miR-138-5p was related to the poor clinical outcome of patient with HCC. Moreover, miR-138-5p repressed the growth and metastatic phenotypes of HCC cells. Consistent with the results in vitro investigations, we revealed that miR-138-5p served as a suppressive miRNA in the growth of HCC cell in vivo. By using the luciferase assay and immunoblotting, we validated that FOXC1 was a potential downstream gene of miR-138-5p. Finally, our results showed that re-expression of FOXC1 rescued the growth and metastatic-related traits of HCC cell inhibited by miR-138-5p. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, our observations imply that miR-138-5p restrains the aggressive phenotypes of HCC cell via modulating FOXC1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryopreservation of sturgeon sperm can be successful, but there can be a decrease in sperm viability and the reasons are not clear. OBJECTIVE To investigate variations in the acrosin activity and the DNA integrity of Acipenser gueldenstaedtii semen during cryopreservation at -196ºC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fish semen samples were randomly divided into three groups: [1] fresh control; [2] native semen diluted 1:1 with 23.4 mM sucrose + 0.25 mM KCl + 30 mM Tris (pH 8.0) and the addition of 10% methanol as cryoprotectant; and [3] semen without any diluents or cryoprotectants. Acrosin activity and DNA damage (COMET assay) were assessed. RESULTS The average acrosin activity fell to 61% and 27% of the control for cryoprotected and non-cryoprotected semen after cryopreservation. The differences among the three groups were significant (P<0.05). We also observed that various indexes of DNA damage (L-tail; tail DNA, tail momentum, olive tail momentum) were higher in semen that had been frozen. CONCLUSION Although cryopreservation of semen induces decreased acrosin activity and increased DNA damage, cryoprotectants can protect the semen during cryopreservation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ferroptosis is a recently identified form of controlled cell death generally associated with the accumulation of lipid-associated reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis have not been established. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microarray expression data for three human gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) and matched non-tumour specimens were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. Candidate genes were filtered using bioinformatic analysis. After cell transfection, candidate gene impacts on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and ferroptosis (ferrous iron (Fe2+) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels) were assessed. RESULTS We screened 626 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including 465 that were downregulated and 161 that were upregulated in the three tissue pairs. These DEGs were used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Functional enrichment analysis revealed the top three modules in the network and four hub genes. Transcription factor AP-2 alpha (TFAP2A) was screened and showed overexpression in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) digestive system tumour data and a relationship with clinical survival. In vitro, GBC exhibited upregulated expression of TFAP2A, whose inhibition reduced GBC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Fe2+ and MDA levels were elevated. Moreover, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed TFAP2A enrichment in oxidative stress. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that TFAP2A silencing attenuated the expression of key genes associated with oxidative stress such as heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2 (Nrf2), ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1). CONCLUSIONS Bioinformatic and experimental analyses reveal that TFAP2A plays a vital role in ferroptosis and hence is a potential therapeutic target for GBC treatment.

Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE's sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate the expression characteristics of CSN6 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and to further explore the mechanism of how it promotes the malignant progression of this cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expressions of CSN6 and TIMP-2 in tumor tissue samples and adjacent normal ones collected from 36 OSCC patients were detected via quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR), and the interplay between their expression levels and the clinical indicators or prognosis of OSCC patients was analyzed as well. Meanwhile, the expressions of CSN6 and TIMP-2 in OSCC cell lines were further verified via qRT-PCR. In addition, CSN6 overexpression and knockdown models were constructed using lentivirus in OSCC cell lines, CAL-27, and Tca8113. At the same time, transwell and cell wound healing assays were conducted to uncover the impact of CSN6 on the function of OSCC cells. Finally, the potential mechanism was explored using Luciferase reporter gene and recovery experiments. RESULTS In this work, qRT-PCR results revealed that the level of CSN6 in tumor tissues of OSCC patients was remarkably higher than that in adjacent normal ones. Compared with patients with low expression of CSN6, those with high expression CSN6 had a higher incidence of lymph node or distant metastasis and a lower overall survival rate. In vitro experiments revealed that silencing CSN6 remarkably attenuated the invasive, as well as migration capacities of OSCC cells while overexpression of CSN6 conversely enhanced those. Subsequently, in OSCC cell lines and tissues, TIMP-2 expression was remarkably reduced, which was negatively correlated with CSN6 level. Bioinformatics and Luciferase reporter genes demonstrated that CSN6 can target the corresponding sites of TIMP-2 promoter. In addition, cell recovery experiments suggested the existence of a mutual regulation between CSN6 and TIMP-2, which may synergistically modulate the malignant progression of OSCC. CONCLUSIONS The above results indicated that CSN6 was remarkably upregulated both in OSCC tissues and cell lines, which is remarkably relevant to the incidence of lymph node or distant metastasis and poor prognosis of OSCC patients. Additionally, we verified that CSN6 may promote OSCC malignant progression by regulating TIMP-2.

Abstract
Objective: We explored the clinical regularity and prognosis of lung carcinoma (LC) patients with hypercoagulability, which is often associated with the occurrence and development of tumors. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 624 LC patients diagnosed from 2010-2017 in the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Capital Medical University, China. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate survival and the log-rank test was used to identify differences in survival between groups. The predictive power of a hypercoagulation model was tested using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to explore independent factors associated with survival. A logistic regression model was used to explore factors related to hypercoagulability. The diagnostic power of relevant influencing factors on hypercoagulability was tested using ROC curve analysis. Results: Of 624 patients in the study, 161(25.8%) had hypercoagulability and 463 did not (normal group). The overall survival (OS) of the hypercoagulability group was significantly lower than the normal group (P < 0.0001). The ROC curve showed that the predictive power of the hypercoagulability model was better than that of a single coagulation indicator (P < 0.01). Both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that hypercoagulability was an independent factor affecting the prognosis of LC (P<0.0001). The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that clinical stage (P < 0.05), cytokeratin 19 fragment (Cyfra211) (P < 0.05), and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (P < 0.05) were positively correlated with hypercoagulability. When combining clinical stage, Cyfra211, and the PLR to predict hypercoagulability, the area under the ROC curve was 0.797 (P < 0.01). Conclusions: In LC, hypercoagulability is an independent factor associated with poor OS and could be a prognostic factor.

Abstract
Objective To systematically explore the pharmacological mechanism of Radix Paeoniae Rubra (RPR) against lung cancer (LC). Methods A network pharmacology approach, which involves active ingredients and target forecast, network construction, gene ontology and pathway enrichment, was employed in this research. In addition, the effect of Baicalein (BAI) in RPR on A549 cells was researched in vitro and in vivo. Results A total of 159 targets of the 29 active components in RPR were procured by pharmacokinetic parameters. The network analysis showed that β-sitosterol, baicalein, (+)-catechin, ellagic acid, stigmasterol, (2R, 3R)-4-methoxyl-distylin were the main ingredients and JUN, VEGFA, BCL2 were the hub targets of RPR in the treatment of LC. The functional enrichment analysis showed that RPR likely was useful to LC by regulating numerous pathways including Pathways in cancer, MAPK signaling pathway and so on. MTT results showed that 100μM, 200μM, 400μM of BAI had a time and dose-dependent inhibitory effect on A549 cells proliferation; Wound healing and transwell assays showed that 100μM, 200μM, 400μM of BAI could significantly restrain the migration and invasion of A549 cells; Flow cytometry assay results showed that 100μM, 200μM, 400μM of BAI could induce apoptosis of A549 cells. In vivo, BAI (50, 100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited tumor growth and promoted apoptosis of tumor cells compared with the control group. Conclusion BAI in RPR may exert anti-tumor effects by inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion of LC cells, and inducing the apoptosis of LC cells.

Abstract
The transport properties of warm dense neon (Ne) and krypton (Kr) are studied by combining self-consistent fluid variational theory (SFVT) with linear response theory (LRT). The components are determined using the SFVT, and the transport parameters, including the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and thermopower, are calculated with the LRT. The relevant scattering mechanisms, including electron-ion, electron-electron, and electron-atom scatterings, are taken into account. An effective potential model in combination with the Muffin-tin model is introduced to further improve the description for electron-atom scattering, which not only includes static, exchange, and polarization interactions but also considers the plasma environmental effects. It is found that for electron-atom scattering, the influence of the plasma density is significant at lower scattering energies but the effects are different for electron-Ne and electron-Kr scattering. For electron-Kr scattering, a plasma density-dependent Ramsauer-Townsend minimum is observed. The obtained transport parameters are compared with the available experiments and other simulations. The plasma phase transition of warm dense Kr is revisited from multiple perspectives based on the numerical simulation results for the electrical conductivity and thermopower. These observations may help one to better understand the transport properties of warm dense noble gases and are an important guide for future experimental designs and theoretical developments.

Abstract
WW domain-containing E3 Ub-protein ligase 2 (WWP2) belongs to the homologous to E6AP C-terminus (HECT) E3 ligase family. It has been explored to regulate osteogenic differentiation, chondrogenesis, and palatogenesis. Odontoblasts are terminally differentiated mesenchymal cells, which contribute to dentin formation in tooth development. However, it remained unknown whether WWP2 participated in odontoblast differentiation. In this study, WWP2 was found to be expressed in mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs), odontoblasts, and odontoblastic-induced mDPCs by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Besides, WWP2 expression was decreased in the cytoplasm but increased in the nuclei of differentiation-induced mDPCs. When Wwp2 was knocked down, the elevated expression of odontoblast marker genes (Dmp1 and Dspp) in mDPCs induced by differentiation medium was suppressed. Meanwhile, a decrease of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was observed by ALP staining, and reduced formation of mineralized matrix nodules was demonstrated by Alizarin Red S staining. Overexpression of WWP2 presented opposite results to knockdown experiments, suggesting that WWP2 promoted odontoblastic differentiation of mDPCs. Further investigation found that WWP2 was coexpressed and interacted with KLF5 in the nuclei, leading to ubiquitination of KLF5. The PPPSY (PY2) motif of KLF5 was essential for its physical binding with WWP2. Also, cysteine 838 (Cys838) of WWP2 was the active site for ubiquitination of KLF5, which did not lead to proteolysis of KLF5. Then, KLF5 was confirmed to be monoubiquitinated and transactivated by WWP2, which promoted the expression of KLF5 downstream genes Dmp1 and Dspp. Deletion of the PY2 motif of KLF5 or mutation of Cys838 of WWP2 reduced the upregulation of Dmp1 and Dspp. Besides, lysine (K) residues K31, K52, K83, and K265 of KLF5 were verified to be crucial to WWP2-mediated KLF5 transactivation. Taken together, WWP2 promoted odontoblastic differentiation by monoubiquitinating KLF5.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical efficacy of naloxone combined with acyclovir in the treatment of children viral encephalitis and the impacts on inflammatory factors IL-1 and IL-6. PATIENTS AND METHODS 96 children with viral encephalitis were retrospectively analyzed. They were treated from July 2013 to January 2014 in our hospital. They were divided into control group (45 cases treated with acyclovir) and observation group (51 cases treated with acyclovir combined with naloxone). Both groups were treated with comprehensive measures. Changes of the content of serum IL-1 and IL-6 in the two groups before and after treatment were monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Signs, recovery time of clinical symptoms, total effective rate, occurrence of adverse reactions and adverse reactions after treatment of children in the two groups were compared. RESULTS Levels of serum IL-1 and IL-6 of children in the control group and the observation group decreased after treatment, and the decrease was greater in the observation group (p<0.05). Signs and recovery time of clinical symptoms of the observation group were significantly shorter than that of the control group (p<0.05). Indexes of serum in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group after treatment (p<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). The prevalence of adverse reactions and sequelae in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In the treatment of children, viral encephalitis has naloxone combined with ganciclovir had a more significant effect on the decrease of levels of serum IL-1 and IL-6; naloxone combined with acyclovir in the treatment of children viral encephalitis had better effects, lower adverse reactions and lower prevalence of sequelae compared with sole medication, which is worth clinical promotion.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. PCSK9 binds LDL receptors, targeting them for degradation. The dosing intervals for currently available PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies are once every 2 or 4 weeks. Tafolecimab, a novel recombinant human PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, was found to have higher affinity with PCSK9 and show longer LDL-C reduction compared to evolocumab in preclinical studies.
Purposes
The objectives for the SAD and MAD studies were to investigate the safety and efficacy of tafolecimab and explore the optimal dosing schedule.
Methods
The phase 1 study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-ascending dose study (SAD) in Chinese healthy subjects, who were randomized 3:1 to tafolecimab and placebo (n=58). SAD subjects received tafolecimab subcutaneously at 25/75/150/300/450/600mg, or intravenously at 75/450mg, monitored up to day 84. The phase 2 study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeated-dosing, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in patients with hypercholesterolemia, who were randomized 4:1 to tafolecimab and placebo (n=60). MAD subjects received tafolecimab subcutaneously at 75/140mg every 2 weeks, 300/420mg every 4weeks, 450/600mg every 6 weeks up to day 84 or 98 with 3 months follow-up.
Results
In the SAD, the maximum mean reduction in LDL-C ranged from 52.2% to 72.1% and was achieved as early as 5 days (figure 1a). The duration of LDL-C reduction was tafolecimab dose dependent. In the MAD, the mean LDL-C concentrations were reduced by tafolecimab for each dose at 12 weeks relative to baseline (ranging from 54.30% to 72.26%; p<0.001). Particularly, a 56.52% (−72.50%, −40.54%) reduction of LDL-C was observed in the cohort of 600mg Q6W. The effect sustained till week 14 (8 weeks after the last dose) where there was still a 43.46% (−60.96%, −25.96%) reduction from baseline (figure 1b). The mean reduction of Lp(a) at week 12 ranged from 24.04% to 50.59% relative to baseline. Tafolecimab reduced the other lipids when comparing with placebo. The pharmacokinetics/pharmadynamics (LDL-C) profiles of tafolecimab were well characterised and support the potential dosing interval of 6–8 weeks subcutaneously.
Both healthy and hypercholesterolemia subjects are generally tolerable to tafolecimab. Reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were: tafolecimab 23 (52.3%) vs. placebo 8 (57.1%); tafolecimab 34 (70.8%) vs. placebo 9 (75.0%) in the SAD and MAD respectively. There were no serious TEAEs or events leading to death or treatment discontinuation in both SAD and MAD.
Conclusions
Tafolecimab was well tolerated in both healthy and hypercholesterolemia in Chinese subjects, and improved lipid profile including LDL-C, Lp(a) and other lipids. The sustained effects on LDL-C suggests the potential of tafolecimab as a long-lasting PCSK9 inhibitor with dosing interval of 6–8 weeks or beyond.

Abstract
AIMS Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 (GSTK1) is critical to maintain mitochondrial function and homeostasis. We aimed to investigate whether a potential link exists between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy numbers and inflammation, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and GSTK1 expression in type 2 diabetes. METHODS We assessed mtDNA copy numbers in plasma and GSTK1 expression in white blood cells in 123 people with type 2 diabetes and in 121 healthy controls using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). An automatic chemistry or immunoassay analyser was used to determine serum glucose, lipids and inflammatory markers. Multiple linear regression and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations and risks. RESULTS Compared with healthy controls, individuals with diabetes showed higher mtDNA copy numbers (t = -3.938, P < 0.001) and lower GSTK1 expression (Z = -2.985, P = 0.002). mtDNA copy number was associated with type 2 diabetes risk [odds ratio (OR) = 1.80, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.25-2.58, P = 0.001] after controlling for confounding factors. In individuals with diabetes, mtDNA copy number was negatively associated with GSTK1 expression (β = -0.235, P = 0.036) and positively associated with serum high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) (β = 0.839, P < 0.001), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (β = 0.549, P < 0.001), interleukin-6 (IL-6) (β = 0.589, P = 0.006) and NEFA (β = 0.001, P = 0.020). In the diabetic group, individuals with an abnormal increase in NEFA, hsCRP, TNF-α and IL-6 showed significantly elevated mtDNA copy numbers (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS mtDNA copy numbers in plasma might have an important role in the progression of diabetic chronic inflammation via inhibition of GSTK1 and could be a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The China National Fracture Study has been conducted to provide a national dataset of traumatic fractures across China. A national representative sample of 512,187 individuals was selected. The population-weighted incidence rates, distribution, injury mechanisms, and risk factors for traumatic fractures were identified for various groups of individuals. INTRODUCTION The China National Fracture Study (CNFS) has been conducted to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date national dataset of traumatic fractures across China. This study aims to report the national incidences and distributions of traumatic fractures that occurred in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and to analyze the risk factors. METHODS A national representative sample of individuals was selected from 24 rural counties and 24 urban cities of 8 provinces using stratified random sampling and the probability proportional to size (PPS) methodology. Participants were interviewed to identify whether they sustained traumatic fractures of the trunk and/or four extremities that had occurred in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The main risk factors associated with traumatic fractures were analyzed by multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 512,187 individuals, including 259,649 males and 252,538 females, participated in the CNFS. The population-weighted incidence rates of traumatic fractures in China were calculated to be 2.5 (95% CI, 2.2-2.8) per 1000 population in 2012, 2.8 (95% CI, 2.5-3.3) in 2013, and 3.2% (95% CI, 2.8-3.6) in 2014. The population-weighted incidence rates of fragility fractures among participants aged 65 years and older were calculated to be 27.4 (95% CI, 21.4-33.4) per 1000 population in 2012, 36.0 (95% CI, 28.6-43.5) in 2013, and 42.4 (95% CI, 34.9-49.9) in 2014. The most common cause of fracture was low-energy injuries, followed by traffic accidents. For all age groups, sleeping less than 7 h was a risk factor for traumatic fractures. Alcohol consumption and previous fracture history were identified as risk factors for adults aged 15 years and over. Cigarette smoking was found to be a risk factor for males aged 15-64 years old. For individuals aged 15-64 years old, underweight incurred a risk effect for males and overweight for females. Alcohol consumption, sleeping less than 7 h per day, living in the central and eastern regions, a body mass index less of than 18.5, and having a previous fracture history were identified as strong risk factors for fragility fractures. CONCLUSION The national incidence, distribution, and injury mechanisms for traumatic fractures were revealed in the CNFS. Risk factors were identified for various groups of individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Most cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are identified as moderate, which is defined as having a fever or dry cough and lung imaging with ground-glass opacities. The risk factors and predictors of prognosis in such cohorts remain uncertain. METHODS All adults with COVID-19 of moderate severity diagnosed using quantitative RT-PCR and hospitalized at the Central Hospital of Wuhan, China, from 1 January to 20 March 2020 were enrolled in this retrospective study. The main outcomes were progression from moderate to severe or critical condition or death. RESULTS Among the 456 enrolled patients with moderate COVID-19, 251/456 (55.0%) had poor prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified higher neutrophil count: lymphocyte count ratio (NLR) on admission (OR 1.032, 95% CI 1.042-1.230, p 0.004) and higher C-reactive protein (CRP) on admission (OR 3.017, 95% CI 1.941-4.690, p < 0.001) were associated with increased OR of poor prognosis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for NLR and CRP in predicting progression to critical condition was 0.77 (95% CI 0.694-0.846, p < 0.001) and 0.84 (95% CI 0.780-0.905, p < 0.001), with a cut-off value of 2.79 and 25.95 mg/L, respectively. The AUC of NLR and CRP in predicting death was 0.81 (95% CI 0.732-0.878, p < 0.001) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.825-0.946, p < 0.001), with a cut-off value of 3.19 and 33.4 mg/L, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Higher levels of NLR and CRP at admission were associated with poor prognosis of individuals with moderate COVID-19. NLR and CRP were good predictors of progression to critical condition and death.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that microRNA-765 (miR-765) is involved in certain biological behaviors of human cancers. However, abnormal expression and function of miR-765 have not been reported in osteosarcoma (OS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Changes in the expression of miR-765 and MTUS1 (Microtubule-associated tumor suppressor 1) were examined via Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot analysis. The function of miR-765 was investigated through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assays in OS. The target of miR-765 was identified using a Dual-Luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS MiR-765 was upregulated in OS tissues. And upregulation of miR-765 promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion in OS. In addition, MTUS1 was confirmed as a direct target gene of miR-765. Moreover, miR-765 promoted the progression of OS through targeting MTUS1. Furthermore, miR-765 was involved in tumorigenesis of OS through activating extracellular-signal-regulated kinase/ epithelial-mesenchymal transition (ERK/EMT) pathway. CONCLUSIONS MiR-765 targets MTUS1 to promote the progression of OS via mediating the ERK/EMT pathway. Therefore, miR-765 may be used as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of OS.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of renal function on sarcopenia in elderly male patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: A total of 105 male CKD patients aged ≥65 years who were admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital between October 1, 2018 and January 30, 2019 were included in this study. Using two different equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR), respectively. According to the sarcopenia criteria, the participants were categorized as the non-sarcopenia group (n=72) and the sarcopenia group (n=33), respectively. The association of estimated GFR (eGFR) and the sarcopenia in the male CKD patients was analyzed using the model of multivariate logistic regression. Results: Among the 105 patients, the median age was 74 (68, 77) years old. The prevalence of sarcopenia was 31.4% (33/105). According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, eGFR based on serum creatinine and Cys-C (eGFRscr-cys) lower than 45 ml·min(-1)·(1.73 m(2))(-1) (OR=4.17, 95%CI:1.08-16.02, P=0.038) and eGFR based on Cys-C (eGFRcys) lower than 45 ml·min(-1)·(1.73 m(2))(-1) (OR=3.99, 95%CI:1.08-14.75, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for underlying sarcopenic, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) revealed that eGFRscr-cys (AUC=0.67) was more suitable than eGFRcys (AUC=0.64) to predict the sarcopenia in elderly male patients with CKD. Conclusion: The increased incidence of sarcopenia in elderly men with CKD is accompanied with deterioration of renal function.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) [Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) rs155209 and receptor activity modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) rs3754701] and the prognosis of chronic hepatitis B patients who were under interferon therapy. Methods: A total of 317 patients and their anticoagulant blood samples were collected in this study. The SNPs in the CGRP and region RAMP1 were genotyped using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. Logistic regression method was used to assess the results from different phenotypic outcomes between cases and controls, after adjusted for sex and age in co-dominant, dominant and recessive genetic models. Results: Data from this study clearly demonstrated the relevance of CGRP rs155209 and RAMP1 rs3754701 with DNA response and ALT response. RAMP1 rs3754701T was strongly associated with both DNA response and ALT response (OR=2.277, 95%CI: 1.386-3.741, P=0.001; OR=1.694, 95%CI: 1.073-2.675, P=0.024). However, CGRP rs155209C was less prone to DNA response and ALT response (OR=0.150, 95%CI: 0.083-0.271, P<0.001; OR=0.583, 95%CI: 0.367-0.925, P=0.022). Conclusions: Results from our study suggested that both RAMP1 rs3754701 and CGRP rs155209 were associated with the prognosis of patients under interferon therapy in Han population, from the northern parts of China while RAMP1 rs3754701T was a protective factor for both ALT response and DNA response, but CGRP rs155209C carriers were less prone to DNA and ALT responses.

Abstract
Arsenic is known to cause damage to the body's immune system by inducing epigenetic changes. However, the molecular mechanism of this damage remains elusive. Here, we report that arsenic disrupts the morphology of lymphocytes, decreases cell viability, and results in abnormal proportions of T lymphocyte subsets. Moreover, our results revealed that arsenic can reduce global acetylation of histone H4 at K16 (H4K16 ac) in lymphocytes via decreasing the level of males absent on the first but upregulates mRNA and protein levels of the forkhead/winged-helix box P3 (Foxp3) gene by increasing the acetylation of histone H4 at K16 (H4K16) at the promoter of Foxp3. Finally, arsenic-induced dysfunction of regulatory T cells (Tregs) could be ameliorated by trichostatin A. Our research indicates that arsenic-induced immunosuppressive effect in human lymphocytes may be related to the acetylation of H4K16 at the promoter of Foxp3 and that histone deacetylase inhibitors may play a role in the prevention and treatment of immune injury caused by arsenic.

Abstract
In 2018, the myopia detection rate of children and adolescents aged 5-18 years old in Shaanxi Province was 54.9% (11 060/20 144). The myopia detection rate of girls [58.6%(5 830/9 949)] was higher than that of boys [58.6% (3 416/5 830)] (P<0.001). In children and adolescents, the myopia detection rate increased with the age before their 16 years old, and saw a stable or downward trend after the age of 16. After adjusting the confounding factors, the myopia detection rate of children and adolescents from regions with per capita GDP>100 000 yuan was higherthan that of children and adolescents from regions with per capita GDP<50 000 yuan[OR (95%CI):1.58(1.34-1.87)].

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (Sfrp1) on myocardial fibroblasts through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rat myocardial fibroblasts were cultured and divided into control group, proliferation group (TGF-β1 group), and Sfrp1 transfection group (TGF-β1 + Ad-Sfrp1 group). The control group received no treatment. The TGF-β1 group was stimulated with TGF-β1 10 ng/mL for 12 h to establish a proliferation model. The TGF-β1 + Ad-Sfrp1 group was first transfected with Ad-Sfrp1 virus. On day 3, TGF-β1 was added at 10 ng/mL to stimulate 12 h. The β-catenin and the marker protein α-SMA of myofibroblast (MyoFB) differentiation were detected by Western blotting method. In addition, we used MTT to test cell proliferation and flow cytometry to test cell cycle. At the same time, we used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the collagen I and collagen III content of the cell supernatant and used quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) to test the expression of apoptotic factors and Dvl-1 and Cyclin D1. RESULTS In TGF-β1 group, the β-catenin, and α-SMA protein expressions were all upregulated, the OD value and collagen I and collagen III contents were increased, but the apoptosis rate was decreased. On the contrary, the expression of β-catenin and α-SMA proteins in the TGFβ1 + Ad-Sfrp1 group were all downregulated, the OD value, collagen I and collagen III content, and percentage of S-phase cells were reduced, but the percentage of G0/G1, G2/M-phase cells, and the apoptotic rate increased. CONCLUSIONS Sfrp1 can effectively inhibit myocardial fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, promote fibroblast apoptosis, and inhibit the transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts by inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Monocyte-derived macrophages, as the predominant immune cell type that is increased in inflamed synovium, play a vital role during knee osteoarthritis (KOA) progression. However, the mechanisms underlying the recruitment of circulating monocytes to osteoarthritic knees remain uncertain. Based on previous data obtained from plasma, we investigated the contributions of CCL2, CCL3, CCL4 and their cognate receptors in circulating monocyte chemotaxis and KOA development. METHODS Using flow cytometry staining, we characterized the expression patterns of the chemokine receptors in CD14+CD16- circulating monocytes from KOA patients and healthy volunteers. The expression of chemokines in synovial fluids, synovium and cartilage was investigated in KOA patients and in patients without KOA. The role of chemokines and their cognate receptors in the chemotaxis of CD14+CD16- circulating monocytes was assessed using chemokine neutralizing antibodies (NA) and receptor antagonists in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS The majority of CD14+CD16- circulating monocytes were CCR1-and CCR2-positive. CCL2, CCL3 and CCL4 were elevated in synovial fluid of KOA patients compared with that of controls. The most likely source of these chemokines is inflamed synovium and cartilage in the osteoarthritic knee. The CCL3/CCR1 and CCL2/CCR2 axes showed substantial ability to recruit CD14+CD16- monocytes in transwell assays. Similar results were confirmed in a mouse model of collagenase-induced KOA (CIA) in which blocking either the CCL3/CCR1 axis or the CCL2/CCR2 axis reduced synovial hyperplasia and F4/80+ macrophage infiltration. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that, analogous to the CCL2/CCR2 axis, CCL3 produced in osteoarthritic knees can chemoattract circulating monocytes to the inflamed synovium through CCR1.

Abstract
Electron antineutrino appearance is measured by the T2K experiment in an accelerator-produced antineutrino beam, using additional neutrino beam operation to constrain parameters of the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) mixing matrix. T2K observes 15 candidate electron antineutrino events with a background expectation of 9.3 events. Including information from the kinematic distribution of observed events, the hypothesis of no electron antineutrino appearance is disfavored with a significance of 2.40σ and no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions is found. A complementary analysis that introduces an additional free parameter which allows non-PMNS values of electron neutrino and antineutrino appearance also finds no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions.

Abstract
The vitellogenin gene promoter (VgP) is an essential cis-regulatory element that plays a significant role in transcription of the vitellogenin (Vg) gene, leading to the production of yolk protein in insects, including lepidopterans. However, the function of VgP is still not clear in Plutella xylostella. Here, we cloned a 5.1 kb DNA fragment of the cis-regulatory region adjacent to the 5' end of the Vg gene of P. xylostella (PxVg). We identified two promoter sites in that 5' upstream sequence of PxVg and performed in vitro analysis of two promoter sequences (PxVgP1, 4.9 kb, and PxVgP2, 2.9 kb) in the embryonic cell line of P. xylostella. PxVgP2 exhibited higher enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) expression, so PxVgP2 was used for in vivo analysis. Strong EGFP fluorescence was observed in adult females and the fat body of females, with low expression in embryos. Our results suggest that PxVgP is an important stage-, tissue- and sex-specific endogenous cis-regulatory element in P. xylostella.

Abstract
Dentin is an important structural component of the tooth. Odontoblast differentiation is an essential biological process that guarantees normal dentin formation, which is precisely regulated by various proteins. Murine double minute 2 (Mdm2) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and it plays a pivotal role in the differentiation of different cell types, such as osteoblasts and myoblasts. However, whether Mdm2 plays a role in odontoblast differentiation remains unknown. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal expression of Mdm2 by immunostaining and found that Mdm2 was highly expressed in the odontoblasts and slightly in the dental papilla cells of mouse incisors and molars. Gene knockdown and overexpression experiments verified that Mdm2 promoted the odontoblast-like differentiation of mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs). Intranuclear colocalization and physical interaction between Mdm2 and distal-less 3 (Dlx3), a transcription factor important for odontoblast differentiation, was found during the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs by double immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation. Mdm2 was proved to monoubiquitinate Dlx3, which enhanced the expression of Dlx3 target gene Dspp. In addition, p53, the canonical substrate of Mdm2, was validated to be also ubiquitinated but degraded by Mdm2 during the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs. Gene knockdown experiments confirmed that p53 inhibited the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs. p53 and Mdm2 double knockdown partially rescued the reduced odontoblast-like differentiation by knockdown of Mdm2 alone. Taken together, our study revealed that Mdm2 promoted the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs by ubiquitinating both Dlx3 and p53. On one hand, the monoubiquitination of Dlx3 by Mdm2 led to upregulation of Dspp, which is a marker of the odontoblast differentiation. On the other hand, ubiquitination of p53 by Mdm2 resulted in its degradation, which eliminated the inhibitory effect of p53 on the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs.

Abstract
AIM Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are associated with greater risk of a variety of cancers. However, the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and risk of cancer has so far not been well addressed. This study aimed to summarize the epidemiological evidence of the association between GDM and subsequent risk of cancer. METHODS PubMed and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies, and a random-effects model was used to calculate the summary relative risks (RRs) along with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 17 observational studies were selected, comprising 7 case-control and 10 cohort studies. Pooled effect estimates retrieved from these 17 studies showed that GDM was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in Asia (pooled RR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.01-1.70), but not in other regions, and also with thyroid cancer (RR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.16-1.42), stomach cancer (RR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.02-2.00) and liver cancer (RR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.03-1.55). However, GDM was not associated with any increased risk of colon (RR: 1.41, 95% CI: 0.90-2.21), colorectal (RR: 1.16, 95% CI: 0.95-1.41), ovarian (RR: 1.14, 95% CI: 0.90-1.44), cervical (RR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.81-1.29), pancreatic (RR: 3.49, 95% CI: 0.80-15.23), brain and nervous system (RR: 1.26, 95% CI: 0.80-1.97), blood (leukaemia, RR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.45-1.30), endometrial (RR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.20-2.98), skin (RR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.81-1.59) or urological (RR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.73-1.31) cancers. CONCLUSION GDM is associated with a greater risk of cancer in women, including breast, thyroid, stomach and liver cancers. However, further investigation is nonetheless warranted.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relative safety of different ventilation methods regarding mortality and rates of complication, on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Methods: Network Meta-analysis was used to collect data on randomized controlled trials of pulmonary ventilation strategies in preterm infants with a mean gestational age of less than 32 weeks. Diagnostic criteria on NRDS were published in the PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Springer Link databases from January 1986 to June 2018. Revman 5.3 software was used to evaluate the quality of studies, based on the Cochrane quality assessment tool. Data were analyzed by Bayesian and frequency methods, using both Win BUGS 1.4.3 and STATA 13.0 software. Safety of different ventilation strategies for NRDS mortality and complications would include intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and were evaluated. Counted data was displayed by OR and 95%CI. Results: A total of 31 RCTs were included in this paper, including 5 827 preterm infants and 11 ventilation strategies. There were no statistically significant differences appearing in 11 ventilation strategies on mortality, PDA or ROP. IVH results were reported in 28 studies. Compared with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), both high- frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV) (OR=3.33, 95%CI: 1.08-16.67, P<0.05) and synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation (SIMV) (OR=8.22, 95%CI: 1.25-29.44, P<0.05) schemes seemed to have increased the risk of IVH in preterm infants with NRDS. NIPPV appeared the optimal ventilation strategy in the rankings of cumulative probability. Results on clustering showed that NIPPV was probably the best ventilation strategy for children with NRDS after considering the orders of IVH, PDA and ROP on mortality, respectively. However, HFOV, IMV, and SIMV did not seem to be the ideal ventilated strategies. Conclusions: Most of the clinical decision makers might prefer using NIPPV in the treatment of children with NRDS through mechanical ventilation systems to reduce both the incidence and death caused by IVH, PDA and ROP. It was not recommended to use HFOV, SIMV and IMV in treating NRDS with gestational less than 32 weeks. We suggested that larger numbers of multi-center RCTs ba carried out to make the above conclusions more convincing.

Abstract
Mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is the main metabolite of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in organisms and is commonly used as a plasticizer. Exposure to DEHP impairs the function of islet beta cells (INS-1 cells), which is related to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. At present, some research data have also confirmed that MEHP has a certain damage effect on INS-1 cells. In our experiment, we found that MEHP would lead to the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the upregulation of autophagy. And downregulated ROS production by N-acetyl-L-cysteine could also reduce autophagy. In addition, MEHP-induced lysosomal membrane permeability (LMP) subsequently released cathepsin D. Additionally, MEHP induced the collapse of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and release of cytochrome c. Addition of autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine relieved MEHP-induced apoptosis as assessed by the expression of cleaved caspase 3, cleaved caspase 9, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay, indicating that MEHP-induced apoptosis was autophagy dependent. Cathepsin D inhibitor, pepstatin A, suppressed MEHP-induced mitochondria release of cytochrome c and apoptosis as well. Meanwhile, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a new B vitamin, improved the above phenomenon. Taken together, our results indicate that MEHP induces autophagy-dependent apoptosis in INS-1 cells by lysosomal-mitochondrial axis. PQQ improved this process by downregulating ROS and provided a degree of protection. Our study provides a new perspective for MEHP on the cytotoxic mechanism and PQQ protection in INS-1 cells.
