Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of the tumors with high malignancy of the liver and bile system, whose development and prognosis mechanisms are still not clear. Here, a preliminary illustration was made on the expression and function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) CASC2 and the relevant mechanism of its function. PATIENTS AND METHODS Expression of CASC2 in CCA tissues and cells were examined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation ability was detected using colony formation and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays while cell invasion and migration abilities were measured using transwell and Matrigel assays. Using bioinformatic analysis, underlying downstream molecules of CASC2 were predicted and by Dual-Luciferase assay and Western blot. RESULTS It was found that CASC2 was expressed at a significantly lower level in CCA tissues and cell lines. The overexpression of CASC2 inhibited QBC939 cell proliferation, invasion and migration when the knockdown of CASC2 accelerated HUCCT1 cell growth and metastasis. Besides, miR-18a was identified as a direct target for CASC2, and SOCS5 as target for miR-18a. Moreover, CASC2 functioned as a sponge of miR-18a to promote the SOCS5 expression, then, slowed down the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression. CONCLUSIONS CASC2 was downregulated in CCA tissues and cells. It could inhibit cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT via sponging miR-18a/SOCS5 axis. This might provide a novel target for CCA diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
CONTEXT It is well known that thyroid hormones are important, being involved in affects the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, lipids. The relationship between thyroid hormones and lipid metabolism is the focus of recent research. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and lipid metabolism in women. DESIGN We conducted an epidemiological survey of thyroid diseases among women in Northeast China from September 2014 to December 2014. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 1397 women underwent physical examinations and laboratory tests for thyroid function and lipid metabolism. RESULTS We found that the detection rate of subclinical hypothyroidism was 13.03%. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism showed significantly higher levels of triglyceride (1.69±1.9 vs. 1.45±1.4) and the risk of hyper triglyceridemia in women with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels ≥10mIU/L was 4.96-fold higher compared with that in the normal population (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Disorders of lipid metabolism in women with subclinical hypothyroidism show a direct correlation with the level of TSH, and the risk of hyper triglyceridemia is significantly increased when the level of TSH ≥10mIU/L.

Abstract
Light or low frequency magnetic field (LF-MF) as one of the cultivation environments affects secondary metabolites (SMs) production of M. purpureus. Phytochrome (Phy) is a hybrid histidine kinase possessing dual properties of photoreceptor and kinase to sense red and far-red light. The interaction effects of LF-MF and light on SMs of M. purpureus was investigated by knocking out the Phy-like gene in M. purpureus (MpPhy) by homologous recombination. A MpPhy-deletion (ΔMpPhy) strain produced less Monascus pigments (MPs) and monacolin K (mon K) than the wild-type (WT) strain and reduced citrinin production by 78.3% on 10th day but didn't affect the biomass. These results indicated that the MpPhy gene is involved in SMs biosynthesis of M. purpureus. MPs production in WT was decreased significantly when the inoculum was exposed to white/blue/green/red light (500 Lux). But it in ΔMpPhy was no significant difference when exposed to white/red light. The colony size of ΔMpPhy was smaller on potato dextrose agar media containing 0.01% SDS. These results indicated that the deletion of MpPhy gene affected the aerial hyphae and increased sensitivity to cell membrane stress but decreased sensitivity to red light. The inoculum of both WT and ΔMpPhy was exposure to the LF-MF (50 Hz). The accumulation of WT secondary metabolites was not changed, while SMs production of ΔMpPhy was significantly enhanced under exposed to 2.0 mT LF-MF. This indicated that the decrease of SMs caused by the deletion of MpPhy gene was restored by LF-MF. It revealed that there is a crosstalk between magnetoreception and photosensitivity.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the leading cause of low-back pain. Implantation of hyaluronic acid (HA) is potentially a therapeutic strategy for IDD, but its pharmacological effects and mechanism under hypoxic conditions remain unclear. In this study, the expression of extracellular matrix genes and proteins were enhanced in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) in the presence of HA under hypoxic condition, as shown by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence staining, and dimethylmethylene blue assays. Moreover, the expression of CD44 was increased in the presence of both HA and hypoxia compared to either alone. Using a bioinformatic database, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a key transcription factor in the hypoxic condition, was found to have 4 predicted binding sites on the CD44 promoter. CD44 expression was significantly increased by treatment with cobalt chloride or dimethyloxalylglycine. Over-expression of HIF-1α in NPCs significantly up-regulated the expression of CD44. The binding site of HIF-1α in the CD44 promoter region, was identified by promoter truncation experiments and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Taken together, these results indicated that hypoxic conditions positively potentiated the ability of NPCs matrix synthesis in the presence of HA, which correlated with the increasing CD44 expression by HIF-1α transcriptional activation.

Abstract
The hindgut epithelial barrier plays an important role in maintaining absorption and immune homeostasis in ruminants. However, little information is available on changes in colon epithelial barrier structure and function following grain-induced subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of grain-induced SARA on colon epithelial morphological structure, permeability, and gene expression involved in epithelial barrier function. Twelve mid-lactating (136 ± 2 d in milk; milk yield = 1.68 ± 0.15 kg/d) Saanen dairy goats with 62.13 ± 4.76 kg of body weight were randomly divided into either the control (CON) treatment (n = 6) or SARA treatment (n = 6). The CON goats were fed a basal diet with a nonfiber carbohydrates to neutral detergent fiber ratio of 1.15 for 60 d. The SARA goats were fed 4 diets with increasing nonfiber carbohydrates to neutral detergent fiber ratio at 1.15, 1.49, 2.12, and 2.66 to induce SARA, with each diet (referred to as period) being fed for 15 d, including 12 d for adaptation and 3 d for sampling. Continuous ruminal pH recordings were used to diagnose the severity of SARA. Additionally, colonic tissues were collected to evaluate the epithelial morphological structure, permeability, and expression of tight junction proteins using transmission electron microscopy, Ussing chamber, quantitative real-time PCR, and Western blotting. Profound disruption in the colonic epithelium was mainly manifested as the electron density of tight junctions decreased, intercellular space widened, and mitochondria swelled in SARA goats. Colon epithelial short-circuit current, tissue conductance, and the mucosal-to-serosal flux of fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran 4 kDa were increased and potential difference was decreased in SARA goats compared with CON goats. Subacute ruminal acidosis increased mRNA and protein expression levels of CLDN1 and OCLN in the colonic epithelium. Overall, the data of the present study demonstrate that SARA can impair the barrier function of the colonic epithelium at both structural and functional levels, which is associated with severe epithelial structural damage and increased permeability and changes in the expression of tight junction proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified to participate in the tumorigenesis and progression of glioma. However, the expression and function of miR-187 have not been fully elucidated in glioma so far. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-187 in glioma and to explore the possible underlying mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression levels of miR-187 in 67 glioma tissues and 21 normal brain tissues, as well as 4 glioma-derived cell lines were measured using quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). MiR-187 was overexpressed or inhibited in U251 or U87MG cells using miR-187 mimics or inhibitor transfection, respectively. Colony formation assay and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay were employed to detect the proliferation ability of cells. Meanwhile, transwell assay and wound-healing assay were applied to evaluate the invasion and migration capacities of cells. Furthermore, Dual-Luciferase assay and Western blot analysis were used to verify the downstream target gene of miR-187 in glioma. RESULTS MiR-187 expression was significantly lower in glioma tissues and cells when compared with normal brain tissues and cell lines. Up-regulation of miR-187 markedly reduced the proliferation, migration and invasion of U251 cells compared with the negative control group. However, down-regulation of miR-187 remarkably accelerated U87MG cell growth and metastasis compared with inhibitor negative control group. Furthermore, SMAD1 was identified as a direct target for miR-187 in glioma, which could be repressed by miR-187. In addition, over-expression of SMAD1 restored the influence of miR-187 mimics in glioma cells. CONCLUSIONS MiR-187 was lowly expressed in glioma tissues and cell lines. Acting as a tumor suppressor, miR-187 inhibited cell growth, invasion, and migration in glioma via repressing SMAD1 expression. Our findings might provide a novel insight into the biological diagnosis and treatment in glioma.

Abstract
The greenhouse gases (GHGs) derived from agriculture include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane (CH4). Of these GHGs, CH4, in particular, constitutes a major component of the GHG emitted by the agricultural sector. Along with environmental concerns, CH4 emission also leads to losses in gross energy intake with economic implications. While ruminants are considered the main source of CH4 from agriculture, nonruminant animals also contribute substantially, and the CH4 emission intensity of nonruminants remains comparable to that of ruminants. Means of mitigating CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation have therefore been sought. Methane is produced by methanogens-archaeal microorganisms that inhabit the digestive tracts of animals and participate in fermentation processes. As the diversity of methanogen communities is thought to be responsible for the differences in CH4 production among nonruminant animals, it is necessary to investigate the archaeal composition of specific animal species. Methanogens play an important role in energy metabolism and adipose tissue deposition in animals. Higher abundances of methanogens, along with their higher diversity, have been reported to contribute to lean phenotype in pigs. In particular, a greater abundance of Methanosphaera spp. and early dominance of Methanobrevibacter smithii have been reported to correlate with lower body fat formation in pigs. Besides the contribution of methanogens to the metabolic phenotype of their hosts, CH4 release reduces the productivity that could be achieved through other hydrogen (H2) disposal pathways. Enhanced participation of acetogenesis in H2 disposal, leading to acetate formation, could be a more favorable direction for animal production and the environment. Better knowledge and understanding of the archaeal communities of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), including their metabolism and interactions with other microorganisms, would thus allow the development of new strategies for inhibiting methanogens and shifting toward acetogenesis. There are a variety of approaches to inhibiting methanogens and mitigating methanogenesis in ruminants, which can find an application for nonruminants, such as nutritional changes through supplementation with biologically active compounds and management changes. We summarize the available reports and provide a comprehensive review of methanogens living in the GIT of various nonruminants, such as swine, horses, donkeys, rabbits, and poultry. This review will help in a better understanding of the populations and diversity of methanogens and the implications of their presence in nonruminant animals.

Abstract
1. To investigate the physiological role of FABP4 in the goose ovary, this study determined the effects of overexpressing and siRNA interfering FABP4 on progesterone (P4) and oestradiol (E2) production in granulosa cells. Measurements were made by ELISA, real-time qRT-PCR and western blotting. 2. The concentrations of P4 and E2 in the FABP4 overexpression granulosa cells were increased compared to the control group (P > 0.05 for P4; P < 0.05 for E2). Likewise, the mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP11A1 and CYP19A1 were significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). Conversely, the concentrations of P4 and E2 in the FABP4 silencing granulosa cells were significantly decreased compared with the control group (P < 0.001). Likewise, the mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP11A1 and CYP19A1 were significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.001, or P < 0.01). 3. The study indicated that the FABP4 gene may regulate steroid hormone secretion and the expression of the steroidogenic genes in geese ovarian granulosa cells. These results support the possibility that the FABP4 gene mediates ovarian steroid hormone biosynthesis function and reproduction in geese.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of individualized antiplatelet therapy based on CYP2C19 genotype and platelet function on the prognosis of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with conventional antiplatelet therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital from December 2014 to December 2017 were included in this prospective study and randomly divided into conventional (CA) and individualized antiplatelet therapy group (IA) at 1:1 ratio. Patients in the CA group received clopidogrel 75 mg once a day (QD). Group IA was divided into extensive, intermediate, and poor metabolizers according to the results of the CYP2C19 gene test. Three genotypes were given clopidogrel 75 mg QD, 75 mg twice daily (BID) and ticagrelor 90 mg BID respectively. After taking these medicines for a period of time, platelet function was monitored by thromboelastography (TEG) and MAADP values were recorded. MAADP indicates the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) induced platelet function that not inhibited by medicine. High platelet reactivity (HPR) was defined as MAADP > 47mm, indicating a high risk of thrombus, and MAADP ≤ 31 mm indicates a high risk of hemorrhage. For extensive metabolizers (EMs) and intermediate metabolizers (IMs) patients with HPR, the antiplatelet therapy would be changed by the clinician according to the patient's conditions. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and hemorrhage events were monitored during 1-year follow-up. RESULTS The patients with MAADP > 47 mm were 89 (28.6%) in the IA group. There were 50 EMs patients with MAADP > 47 mm (33.3%). Of which, there were 2 cases which changed the dosage of clopidogrel to 75 mg BID, 14 cases who changed clopidogrel to ticagrelor. There were 36 IMs patients with MAADP > 47 mm (30.8%). Of which, there were 19 cases who changed clopidogrel to ticagrelor. There was no significant difference in the value of MAADP between EMs and IMs patients. Within 1 year after PCI, the occurrence of MACE in the IA group was significantly lower than that in the CA group (p=0.010). CONCLUSIONS (1) Patients with a CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LOF) gene who take double doses of clopidogrel overcome the decreased efficacy of clopidogrel which partly due to CYP2C19 LOF gene, without increasing the risk of hemorrhage. (2) Individualized antiplatelet therapy based on CYP2C19 genotype and platelet function can significantly reduce the occurrence of MACE (mainly acute non-fatal myocardial infarction) after PCI without increasing the risk of moderate or severe hemorrhage.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Depression is prevalent among patients with heart failure (HF), but data exploring association of depression with risk of death in patients with HF is scarce in China. We investigated the relationship between depression and all-cause mortality of heart failure in China.
Methods
In China PEACE 5p-HF Study, we prospectively enrolled patients primarily hospitalized with HF from 52 diverse hospitals throughout China during 2016–2018. All the patients were followed up for 1 year. About 10% patients in the cohort from 41 hospitals was included for the measurement of depression state at convenience. Depression was measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 depression scale (PHQ-8) at baseline. Depression state was categorized into major depressive disorder (10–24 points), minor depression (5–10 points) and no depression (0–5 points). Cox proportional hazards regression analyses, controlling for established risk factors as age, gender, LVEF, NYHA, medication use and medical history, were used to evaluate how depression were related to end point of death from any cause.
Results
Total 584 patients were included in our analysis, with median age 69 (IQR 60–77) years, and 40.8% female. Among these patients, 36.0% had major depressive disorder (n=210), 33.9% had minor depression (n=198). There were 70 (12%) patients died within 1 year after discharge. Major depressive disorder was associated with higher all-cause mortality compared with no depression (hazard ratio=2.18, 95% confidence interval 1.36–3.50, p=0.001). While minor depression was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality.
Conclusions
Major depression is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in hospitalized patients with HF in China. It is necessary to screen for psychological health in hospitalized patients to targeting intervention.

Abstract
The oncogenesis of cervical cancer is a multi-factor and multi-step process, and major risk factors include oncogene activation with tumor suppressor gene inactivation, viral factors, and immune factors. For example, the human papillomavirus (HPV) has been linked to the occurrence of cervical cancer. At present, the pathogenesis of cervical cancer remains unclear. Fra-1 (Fos-related antigen 1, also known as FOSL1) is a member of the Fos family and an important nuclear transcription factor that regulates normal cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. In the present study, we found that Fra-1 inhibited the proliferation of cervical cancer cells while also promoting apoptosis and affecting cell cycle distribution. Moreover, Fra-1 up-regulated STAT1 expression and modulated p53 signal pathway activity in cervical cancer cells. Overexpression of Fra-1 inhibited cell senescence by altering sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression in HeLa cells, and Fra-1 overexpression restored mitochondrial disorder and suppressed metabolic reprogramming in HeLa cells. Silencing of STAT1 impaired the inhibitory effect of Fra-1 on cervical cancer cell growth, while knock-down of STAT1 reversed the effect on cell senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by Fra-1 in HeLa cells. Silencing of STAT1 also recovered metabolic reprogramming in cervical cancer cells. In summary, our results show that Fra-1 inhibited cervical cancer cell growth and the Warburg effect via STAT1-mediated regulation of the p53 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The atmosphere contains an abundance of fresh water, but this resource has yet to be harvested efficiently. To date, passive atmospheric water sorbents have required a desorption step that relies on steady solar irradiation. Since the availability and intensity of solar radiation vary, these limit on-demand desorption and hence the amount of harvestable water. Here, we report a polymer-metal-organic framework that provides simultaneous and uninterrupted sorption and release of atmospheric water. The adaptable nature of the hydro-active polymer, and its hybridization with a metal-organic framework, enables enhanced sorption kinetics, water uptake, and spontaneous water oozing. We demonstrate continuous water delivery for 1440 hours, producing 6 g of fresh water per gram of sorbent at 90% relative humidity (RH) per day without active condensation. This leads to a total liquid delivery efficiency of 95% and an autonomous liquid delivery efficiency of 71%, the record among reported atmospheric water harvesters.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of hypoxia-pretreated rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) conditioned medium on wound healing of rats with full-thickness defects. Methods: (1) A 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rat was sacrificed by cervical dislocation, the bilateral inguinal adipose tissue was collected, the third generation ADSCs were isolated by collagenase digestion method, and the cells morphology was observed. The cells were harvested and divided into adipogenic induction group and osteogenic induction group according to the random number table (the same grouping method below), with 6 wells in each group. The cells in adipogenic induction group were cultured for 14 days to observe adipogenesis, and cells in osteogenic induction group were cultured for 28 days to observe osteogenesis. (2) The third generation ADSCs were collected and divided into normoxic group and hypoxic group. Cells in normoxic group was incubated in normal oxygen incubator with oxygen volume fraction of 21%, and cells in hypoxic group was incubated in low oxygen incubator with oxygen volume fraction of 2% respectively, with 3 samples in each group for each time point. Three samples in normoxic group on 3 h of culture and in hypoxic group on 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h of culture were collected for detecting the following indexes. The mRNA expressions of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) were detected by real time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The cell culture supernatant in the two groups was collected, centrifuged, and filtered to obtain normoxic conditioned medium (normo-CM ) and hypoxic conditioned medium (hypo-CM). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect content of VEGF, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) in conditioned medium. (3) Twenty-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6-8 weeks were collected and divided into phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group, normo-CM group, and hypo-CM group, with 9 rats in each group. A circular full-thickness skin defect wound with diameter of 1 cm was made on the back of each rat, and the wounds of rats in PBS, normo-CM, and hypo-CM groups were respectively dropped with 50 μL PBS, normo-CM, and hypo-CM. On post injury day (PID) 0, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, the gross condition of wound was observed, wound area was measured, and the non-healing rate of wound was calculated. The wound tissue was collected for hematoxylin eosin staining to observe inflammatory reaction of wound on PID 3, 9, and 11 and re-epithelialization of wound on PID 9. Masson staining was used to observe the collagen deposition and analyze collagen volume fraction of wound on PID 11. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance, t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results: (1) The isolated cells showed a fusiform, in adherent growth and close arrangement when in low fusion degree. On 14 d of culture, the red lipid droplets stained with oil red O were observed in cells in adipogenic induction group, and on 28 d of culture, the red nodules stained with alizarin red S were observed in cells in osteogenic induction group. The cells were identified as ADSCs. (2) Compared with that in normoxic group, the mRNA expression of HIF-1α was significantly increased at 12 and 24 h of culture (t=5.43, 5.11, P<0.05), the mRNA expression of VEGF was significantly increased at 6 and 12 h of culture (t=3.29, 2.33, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the mRNA expression of bFGF was significantly increased at 12 h of culture (t=12.59, P<0.01) and significantly reduced at 48 h of culture (t=9.34, P<0.01), and the mRNA expression of PPAR-γ was significantly reduced at 3, 12, and 24 h of culture in hypoxic group (t=5.14, 6.56, 4.97, P<0.05). (3) Compared with that in normoxic group, the VEGF content was significantly increased at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h of culture (t=5.74, 12.37, 14.80, 15.70, 34.63, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the IGF content was significantly increased at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h of culture (t=5.65, 8.06, 20.12, 22.99, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the content of TGF-β and EGF showed no obvious change at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h of culture in hypoxic group. (4) From PID 0 to 11, the wound of rats in the three groups shrank to varying degrees, with no obvious infection or exudate. On PID 11, the wound area of rats in PBS group was still large, which was larger than that in normo-CM group, and the wound area of rats in hypo-CM group was basically healed. On PID 0, 3, and 5, the non-healing rates of wound of rats in the three groups were similar. On PID 7, the non-healing rates of wound of rats in normo-CM and hypo-CM groups were significantly lower than that in PBS group (t=10.26, 16.03, P<0.05). On PID 9, the non-healing rate of wound of rats in hypo-CM group was significantly lower than that of PBS group and normo-CM group, respectively (t=17.25, 6.89, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the non-healing rate of wound of rats in normo-CM group was significantly lower than that in PBS group (t=8.81, P<0.05). On PID 11, the non-healing rate of wound of rats in hypo-CM group was (2.4±1.5)%, which was significantly lower than (20.0±5.0)% in PBS group and (7.7±1.7)% in normo-CM group (t= 30.15, 84.80, P<0.05). (5) On PID 3, the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the wound of rats in hypo-CM group was obviously more than those in the other two groups. On PID 9, the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the wound of rats in hypo-CM and normo-CM groups was obviously less than that in PBS group. On PID 11, the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the wound of rats in hypo-CM group was obviously less than those in PBS and normo-CM groups. On PID 9, the length of " epidermal migration tongue" on the wound of rats in hypo-CM group was longer than those of the other two groups, and the epidermis thickness was close to normal skin. On PID 11, compared with those in PBS and normo-CM groups, a large number of collagen deposits with dense structure, neat arrangement, and higher maturity were seen in the wound of rats in hypo-CM group. The wound collagen volume fraction of rats in PBS group was (22.90±1.25)%, which was significantly lower than (31.96±0.14)% in normo-CM group and (56.10±1.50)% in hypo-CM group (t=12.48, 29.43, P<0.05), and the wound collagen volume fraction of rats in normo-CM group was significantly lower than that in hypo-CM group (t=27.73, P<0.05). Conclusions: Hypoxia-pretreated can significantly enhance paracrine effect of rat ADSCs. Hypoxia-pretreated rat ADSC conditioned medium can accelerate the healing of full-thickness skin defect wound in rats by regulating inflammatory cell infiltration, promoting re-epithelialization and collagen deposition in the wound.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the benefit of Bonebridge devices in patients with single-sided deafness. METHOD Five patients with single-sided deafness who were implanted with Bonebridge devices were recruited in a single-centre study. Participants' speech perception and horizontal sound localisation abilities were assessed at 6 and 12 months post-operatively. Speech intelligibility in noisy environments was measured in three different testing conditions (speech and noise presented from the front, speech and noise presented from the front and contralateral (normal ear) side separately, and speech presented from the ipsilateral (implanted Bonebridge) side and noise from the contralateral side). Sound localisation was evaluated in Bonebridge-aided and Bonebridge-unaided conditions at different stimuli levels (65, 70 and 75 dB SPL). RESULTS All participants showed a better capacity for speech intelligibility in quiet environments with the Bonebridge device. The speech recognition threshold with the Bonebridge device was significantly decreased at both short- and long-term follow up in the speech presented from the ipsilateral (implanted Bonebridge) side and noise from the contralateral side condition (p < 0.05). Additionally, participants maintained similar levels of sound localisation between the Bonebridge-aided and unaided conditions (p > 0.05). However, the accuracy of localisation showed some improvement at 70 dB SPL and 75 dB SPL post-operatively. CONCLUSION The Bonebridge device provides the benefit of improved speech perception performance in patients with single-sided deafness. Sound localisation abilities were neither improved nor worsened with Bonebridge implantation at the follow-up assessments.

Abstract
MiR-23a-5p is involved in the occurrence and development of some serious diseases, but its effects on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury is unclear. In this research, the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model on IEC-6 cells and II/R model in mice were used. The data showed that the ROS level in model group was significantly increased compared with control group. The level of intestinal MPO was increased and serum SOD was decreased in mice compared with sham group. Moreover, the expression levels of miR-23a-5p in model groups were obviously increased in vitro and in vivo, while the expression levels of PPARα, FOXO3α, PGC-1α, Nrf2, CAT, NQO1, HO-1 and SOD2 were significantly decreased. The double luciferase reporter gene assay showed that there was binding site between miR-23a-5p and PPARα. When miR-23a-5p was inhibited or PPARα gene was overexpressed, H/R-caused cell damage was alleviated and ROS level was decreased compared with NC group. PPARα expression level was increased, accompanied by the increased levels of FOXO3α, PGC-1α, Nrf2, CAT, NQO1, HO-1 and SOD2. After enhancing miR-23a-5p expression or silencing PPARα gene, H/R-caused cell damage was further aggravated compared with NC group, and ROS level was increased associated with the decreased levels of FOXO3α, PGC-1α, Nrf2, CAT, NQO1, HO-1 and SOD2. Our study demonstrated that miR-23a-5p exacerbated II/R injury by promoting oxidative stress via targeting PPARα, which should be considered as one new drug target to treat II/R injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE The supply of non-iodized salt and the water improvement project have been conducted to reduce the iodine concentration in drinking water in areas with elevated water iodine. We aimed to assess the impact of water iodine concentration (WIC) on the iodine intake of pregnant women in areas with restricted iodized salt supply, and determine the cutoff values of WIC in areas with non-iodized salt supply. METHODS Overall, 534 pregnant women who attended routine antenatal outpatient visits in Zibo Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Gaoqing County were recruited. The 24-h urine iodine excretion (UIE) in 534 samples and the iodine concentration in 534 drinking water samples were estimated. Urinary iodine excretion, daily iodine intake, and daily iodine intake from drinking water (WII) were calculated. The relationship between WIC and daily iodine take was analyzed. RESULTS The median WIC, spot urine iodine concentration (UIC), and 24-h UIE were 17 (6, 226) μg/L, 145 (88, 267) μg/L, and 190 (110, 390) μg/day, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between WIC and UIE (R2 = 0.265, p < 0.001) and UIC (R2 = 0.261, p < 0.001). The contribution rate of WII to total iodine intake increased from 3.0% in the group with WIC of < 10 μg/L to 45.7% in the group with WIC of 50-99 μg/L. CONCLUSION The iodine content in drinking water is the major iodine source in pregnant women living in high-water iodine areas where iodized salt supply is restricted. The contribution rate of daily iodine intake from drinking water increases with the increase in water iodine concentration.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the resistance mutational profiles of multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in China and the correlation between major mutation types and genotypes based on the whole-genome sequencing data. Methods: Search and download of the genome-wide sequencing data of M. tuberculosis published in China by August 2019 on NCBI database were conducted. Mutation frequency of drug resistance-related gene loci based on whole-genome sequencing was used to predict the molecular susceptibility of strains, and the correlation between mutation types and genotypes was analyzed. Results: According to the results of molecular resistance and susceptibility profiles, 1 024 MDR strains were identified from 2 019 M. tuberculosis strains. The major mutation types of resistance-related genes to common drugs were katG S315T (73.2%, isoniazid), rpoB S450L (63.1%, rifampicin), rpsL K43R (70.0%, streptomycin), embB M306V (37.4%, ethambutol), pncA_promoter T (-11)C (7.9%, pyrazinamide), gyrA A90V (32.3%, fluoroquinolones), rrs A1401G (67.7%, second-line injection drugs), fabG1_promoter C (-15) T (87.0%, Ethionamide), folC I43T (30.4%, P-aminosalicylic acid). Among them, the frequencies of katG S315T, embB M306V, rpsL K43R, gyrA A90V in lineage 2 were significantly higher than those in lineage 4, and folC I43T was only found in lineage 2. The proportion of katG S315T was significantly higher in the ancient Beijing genotype compared to the modern genotype, in contrast, the proportion of rpsL K43R was significantly higher in modern Beijing genotype, the differences were significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The results showed the main mutation types of resistance-related genes of MDR strains to many commonly used anti-tuberculosis drugs in China based on whole-genome sequencing, providing a basis for the development of sensitive and specific rapid molecular detection methods. At the same time, it was also found that the major mutation types of MDR-related genes were related to the genotype of the strains.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Absent, small, or homeotic discs 2 (Ash2), a histone H3K4 methyltransferase complex, has been implicated in the control of hyphal development and secondary metabolism in many kinds of filamentous fungi. We constructed an Ash2 deletion mutant (ΔAsh2) by using an Agrobacterium-mediated gene knockout method to investigate the function of the Ash2 gene in the mold Monascus purpureus. Lack of the Ash2 gene resulted in the formation of a lower colony phenotype with fluffy aerial hyphae that autolyzed as the colony grew on potato dextrose agar at 30°C. The production of pigments and the number of conidia were significantly lower in the ΔAsh2 than in the wild type. Citrinin production by the ΔAsh2 was not detected during 15 days of fermentation. Relative expression levels of secondary metabolite regulatory genes PigR and CTNR, secondary metabolite synthesizing genes PKSPT and CTN, key genes of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway Spk1 and its downstream gene mam2, the conidium development control gene BrlA, and global regulatory genes LaeA and VeA were detected by the quantitative real-time PCR. These results indicate that the Ash2 gene is involved in conidial germination, pigment production, and citrinin production and plays a key role in development and secondary metabolism in M. purpureus.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of health belief model-based health education intervention in improving blood pressure control of patients with hypertension in community settings. Methods: From September 2016 to September 2017, 400 newly diagnosed patients with hypertension were recruited from 6 community healthcare centers with comparable population size and health services in the Shunyi District of Beijing. All community healthcare centers were randomly assigned to the intervention group (206 patients) and the control group (194 patients). Patients in the intervention group received 3 lectures (20-30 min for each) of health belief model-based health education. Patients in the control group received usual care. The basic characteristics, health beliefs, and health literacy were collected, and blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention, respectively. The difference-in-difference model was used to analyze the change of blood pressure and the influencing factors between two groups before and after the intervention. Results: A total of 134 patients in the intervention group and 129 patients in the control group completed the study. After adjusting for the age, gender, family income, medical insurance, chronic diseases and family history, the score of perceived barriers was increased by 1.65 (P=0.016), and perceived seriousness was decreased by 0.73 (P=0.018). The systolic blood pressure of patients was decreased by 7.37 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, P=0.001) and diastolic blood pressure was decreased by 4.07 mmHg (P=0.014), respectively. The β (95%CI) values were -7.37 (-11.88,-2.86) and -4.07 (-7.30, -0.84). The perceived susceptibility and self-efficacy had a significant influence on the blood pressure of patients (P<0.05). Conclusion: Health belief model-based health education intervention could significantly improve the blood pressure control of patients with hypertension in the community settings.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the association of BMI and waist circumference (WC) with metabolic risk factors, and confirm the appropriate cut-off points of BMI and WC among Chinese adults. Methods: After excluding participants with missing or extreme measurement values, as well as individuals with self-reported histories of cancer, a total of 501 201 adults in baseline and 19 201 adults in the second re-survey from the China Kadoorie Biobank were included. The associations of BMI and WC with metabolic risk factors were estimated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted to assess the appropriate cut-off values of BMI and WC to predict the risk of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and clustering of risk factors. Results: The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and clustering of risk factors all presented ascending trends with the increasing levels of BMI or WC. Defined as the points on the ROC curve where Youden's index reached the highest, the appropriate overweight cut-off points of BMI were around 24.0 kg/m(2) both in men and women, and the points of WC were around 85 cm in men and 80 to 85 cm in women. With specificity 90% for identification of risk factors, the appropriate obese cut-off points of BMI were around 28.0 kg/m(2) both in men and women, with the range of 27.0 to 28.9 kg/m(2). Conclusions: The cut-off points for overweight and obesity recommended by Coorperative Meta-analysis Group of China Obesity Task Force was verified in the large sample survey conducted more recently. The cut-off points of BMI were 24.0 and 28.0 kg/m(2) for overweight and obesity, and the cut-off point of WC was 85 cm in men and 80 to 85 cm in women for central obesity.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the association of BMI with major chronic diseases morbidity and all-cause mortality in Chinese adults. Methods: This study is based on China Kadoorie Biobank. Anthropometric indexes were objectively measured at the baseline survey during 2004-2008. After excluding participants with heart disease, stroke, cancer, COPD and diabetes, 428 113 participants aged 30 to 79 years were included in the analysis. Cox regression models were used to investigate the associations of BMI and waist circumference with incidence of major chronic diseases (including cardiovascular disease, cancer, COPD, and type 2 diabetes) and all-cause mortality. Results: Over an average of 10 years, 131 454 participants developed any one of major chronic diseases. A total of 26 892 all-cause deaths were reported. The risk of major chronic diseases increased with BMI. Compared with normal BMI (18.5-24.0 kg/m(2)), the HR (95%CI) of overweight (BMI 24.0-28.0 kg/m(2)) and obesity (BMI≥28.0 kg/m(2)) were 1.26 (95%CI: 1.24-1.27) and 1.59 (95%CI: 1.57-1.62) respectively. Underweight and obesity were both associated with risk of all-cause mortality. Waist circumference was positively associated with risk of major chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. According to recommended cut-off points of BMI and waist circumference for Chinese adults, maintaining a healthy body weight would prevent 12% incident cases of major chronic diseases. Conclusion: General and central obesity were risk factors for major chronic disease among Chinese adults.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the maxillectomy defect, T stage, and prognosis of patients with maxillary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The Brown classification system was used to appraise the maxillectomy defects due to maxillary SCC. The clinical data of 137 patients with maxillary SCC during the period 2000-2010 were reviewed; 105 patients were followed up. Preoperative T stage and postoperative maxillectomy class were recorded. The relationship between the maxillectomy defect class and T stage of maxillary SCC was analysed. Correlations between the maxillectomy defect class, local recurrence rate, and survival rate were assessed using IBM SPSS Statistics v19.0. The most common maxillectomy defect class was IIb (54.7%, 75/137). The maxillectomy defect class was significantly associated with the T stage (P < 0.001). Both T stage and the maxillectomy defect class were significantly associated with the survival rate of patients with maxillary SCC (both P< 0.001). In conclusion, the class of the maxillectomy defect was found to be associated with the T stage. Both of these were prognostic factors for patients with maxillary SCC. The class of the maxillectomy defect is suitable for clinical application in predicting the prognosis compared with T stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salmonella is one of the most important enteric pathogenic bacteria that threatened poultry health. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella isolates in goose farms. METHODS A total of 244 cloacal swabs were collected from goose farms to detect Salmonella in Northeast China. Antimicrobial susceptibility, and resistance gene distribution of Salmonella isolates were investigated. RESULTS Twenty-one Salmonella isolates were identified. Overall prevalence of Salmonella in the present study was 8.6%. Among the Salmonella isolates, the highest resistance frequencies belonged to amoxicillin (AMX) (85.7%), tetracycline (TET) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) (81%), followed by chloramphenicol (CHL) (76.2%), florfenicol (FLO) (71.4%), kanamycin (KAN) (47.6%), and gentamycin (GEN) (38.1%). Meanwhile, only 4.8% of the isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin (CIP) and cefotaxime (CTX). None of the isolates was resistant to cefoperazone (CFP) and colistin B (CLB). Twenty isolates (95%) were simultaneously resistant to at least two antimicrobials. Ten resistance genes were detected among which the bla TEM-1, cmlA, aac(6')-Ib-cr, sul1, sul2, sul3, and mcr-1.1 were the most prevalent, and presented in all 21 isolates followed by tetB (20/21), qnrB (19/21), and floR (15/21). CONCLUSION Results indicated that Salmonella isolates from goose farms in Northeast China exhibited multi-drug resistance (MDR), harboring multiple antimicrobial resistance genes. Our results will be useful to design prevention and therapeutic strategies against Salmonella infection in goose farms.

Abstract
AIMS In order to probe a more environmentally friendly method of pollutant treatment based on microbial bioaugmentation and quorum sensing (QS) effects. METHODS AND RESULTS The dynamic characteristics and QS effects of the acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs)-secreting strain Aeromonas sp. A-L2 (A-L2), which was isolated from the activated sludge system, was discussed. According to the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry results, N-butyryl-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL) and N-hexanoyl-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) were the major AHLs secreted by strain A-L2, and the swarming of strain Ochrobactrum sp. LC-1 (LC-1) was induced by these compounds. The extracellular polymeric substance secretion of the strain LC-1 was mainly led by C6-HSL, and the biofilm formation ability was mainly influenced by C6-HSL or C4-HSL (60 μg l-1 ). The optimal AHLs secretion conditions of strain A-L2 were also studied. Drawing support from the AHLs-secreting strain A-L2 during quinoline degradation by strain LC-1, the degradation time was greatly shortened. CONCLUSIONS Hence, AHLs-secreting strain A-L2 can be useful as an AHLs continuous supplier during bioaugmentation and pollutant biodegradation. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The bioaugmentation process of strain A-L2 on quinoline biodegradation based on QS effects would lay a certain theoretical and practical significance for large-scale applications.

Abstract
The precise measurement of the spectrum of protons, the most abundant component of the cosmic radiation, is necessary to understand the source and acceleration of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. This work reports the measurement of the cosmic ray proton fluxes with kinetic energies from 40 GeV to 100 TeV, with 2 1/2 years of data recorded by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE). This is the first time that an experiment directly measures the cosmic ray protons up to ~100 TeV with high statistics. The measured spectrum confirms the spectral hardening at ~300 GeV found by previous experiments and reveals a softening at ~13.6 TeV, with the spectral index changing from ~2.60 to ~2.85. Our result suggests the existence of a new spectral feature of cosmic rays at energies lower than the so-called knee and sheds new light on the origin of Galactic cosmic rays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pioneering effort has been made to facilitate the recognition of pathology in malignancies based on whole-slide images (WSIs) through deep learning approaches. It remains unclear whether we can accurately detect and locate basal cell carcinoma (BCC) using smartphone-captured images. OBJECTIVES To develop deep neural network frameworks for accurate BCC recognition and segmentation based on smartphone-captured microscopic ocular images (MOIs). METHODS We collected a total of 8046 MOIs, 6610 of which had binary classification labels and the other 1436 had pixelwise annotations. Meanwhile, 128 WSIs were collected for comparison. Two deep learning frameworks were created. The 'cascade' framework had a classification model for identifying hard cases (images with low prediction confidence) and a segmentation model for further in-depth analysis of the hard cases. The 'segmentation' framework directly segmented and classified all images. Sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the overall performance of BCC recognition. RESULTS The MOI- and WSI-based models achieved comparable AUCs around 0·95. The 'cascade' framework achieved 0·93 sensitivity and 0·91 specificity. The 'segmentation' framework was more accurate but required more computational resources, achieving 0·97 sensitivity, 0·94 specificity and 0·987 AUC. The runtime of the 'segmentation' framework was 15·3 ± 3·9 s per image, whereas the 'cascade' framework took 4·1 ± 1·4 s. Additionally, the 'segmentation' framework achieved 0·863 mean intersection over union. CONCLUSIONS Based on the accessible MOIs via smartphone photography, we developed two deep learning frameworks for recognizing BCC pathology with high sensitivity and specificity. This work opens a new avenue for automatic BCC diagnosis in different clinical scenarios. What's already known about this topic? The diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is labour intensive due to the large number of images to be examined, especially when consecutive slide reading is needed in Mohs surgery. Deep learning approaches have demonstrated promising results on pathological image-related diagnostic tasks. Previous studies have focused on whole-slide images (WSIs) and leveraged classification on image patches for detecting and localizing breast cancer metastases. What does this study add? Instead of WSIs, microscopic ocular images (MOIs) photographed from microscope eyepieces using smartphone cameras were used to develop neural network models for recognizing BCC automatically. The MOI- and WSI-based models achieved comparable areas under the curve around 0·95. Two deep learning frameworks for recognizing BCC pathology were developed with high sensitivity and specificity. Recognizing BCC through a smartphone could be considered a future clinical choice.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), Fibroscan, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) and their combination for early stage liver cirrhosis. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-two hospitalized patients who had been diagnosed with chronic viral liver disease from March 2016 to April 2018 were included. According to the clinical diagnosis, patients were divided into chronic hepatitis and the early stage liver cirrhosis group (Child-Pugh A grade). All patients were examined by Fibroscan to detect liver stiffness measurement (LSM), ARFI to detect liver virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) value, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and EUS to detect esophagogastric varices, laboratory and imaging examination. The index of EUS, Fibroscan, ARFI, and APRI was analyzed and the regression model was established by binary logistic regression, and the diagnostic efficacy of the above index and regression model for early stage of cirrhosis was evaluated by the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCs). Results: An early stage cirrhosis group had significantly higher detection rate with EUS (esophagogastric varices), Fibroscan (LSM), ARFI (VTQ) and APRI than chronic hepatitis group [76.7% vs. 10.7%, 10.4 (7.8, 17.3) vs. 6.1 (5.2, 8.4) kPa, 1.71(1.48, 2.07) m/s vs. 1.25(1.14, 1.43) m/s and 0.65 (0.38, 1.15) vs. 0.38(0.26, 0.62), respectively]. The corresponding chi-square test were 140.86, Z = -9.069, Z = -9.948 and Z = -5.764, respectively and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve and regression model were 0.830 (0.783 ~ 0.877), 0.793 (0.744 ~ 0.841), 0.821 (0.775 ~ 0.868), 0.686 (0.628 ~ 0.744) and 0.947 (0.925 ~ 0.969) for the diagnosis of early stage cirrhosis, respectively. Among them, the regression model of three indices (EUS, LSM and VTQ) had the largest AUROCs (0.947) and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 0.878 and 0.867, respectively. Conclusion: The combination of EUS, LSM and ARFI had a superior diagnostic value for early stage liver cirrhosis, and may improve the diagnosis rate and reduce the misdiagnosis rate.

Abstract
We report a broadband photonic-based microwave hybrid combiner (PMHC) using a dual-polarization dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator. The broadband PMHC with arbitrarily tunable phase shift and power combining ratio can overcome several limitations of conventional microwave combiners in terms of tunability and bandwidth. By simply adjusting the biases of the modulator, the phase shift and power ratio of the two combined microwave signals are independently, continuously, and freely tunable. The proposed PMHC is theoretically analyzed and experimentally verified. In a proof-of-concept experiment, two sinusoidal microwave waveforms are successfully combined to form rectangular and triangular waveforms, respectively.
