Abstract
The dewetting phenomenon of a liquid film in the presence of a surfactant exists in various natural, industrial, and biomedical processes but still remains mysterious in some specific scenarios. Here, we investigate the dewetting behavior of water films initiated by surfactant-laden droplet impact and show that the maximum dewetting diameter can even reach more than 50 times that of the droplet size. We identify the S-type variation of the dewetting area and demonstrate its correlation to the dynamic surface tension reduction. From a viewpoint of energy conversion, we attribute the dewetting to the released surface energy caused by the surfactant addition and establish a linear relation between the maximum dewetting and the surfactant concentration in the film, i.e., dmax2 ∝ cfilm, which agrees well with the experiments. These results may advance the physics of liquid film dewetting triggered by surfactant injection, which shall further guide practical applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Mitral L wave, prominent mid-diastolic filling wave in echocardiographic examinations, is associated with severe left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and that has been reported to predict recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardioversion. However, association between mitral L wave and the outcome of AF after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has not been established.
Objective
The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of mitral L wave on AF recurrence after RFCA.
Methods
250 patients including 164 paroxysmal AF (65.6%) and 86 non-paroxysmal AF (34.4%) who received RFCA in single center from January 2015 to December 2016 were enrolled consecutively. Echocardiographic examinations before RFCA were recorded, and the mitral L wave was defined as a distinct mid-diastolic flow velocity with a peak velocity ≥20 cm/s following the E wave. Systematic follow-up was conducted after RFCA. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to determine the factors predicting late recurrence of AF (LRAF) which means AF recurrence after 3 months. Enrolled patients were divided into groups with the L wave (L-group; n=57) or without the L wave (NL-group; n=193) based on the findings of echocardiographic examinations.
Results
During a follow-up of 35.0±17.6 months, the ratio of LRAF in the L-group was significantly higher than that in the NL-group (32 (56.1%) vs. 41 (21.2%), Hazard ratio [HR]: 3.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.33 - 5.42, p<0.001). Among the clinical factors, presence of mitral L wave, BNP value, non-paroxysmal AF and moderate-severe mitral regurgitation were related to LRAF. A multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazard model found that presence of mitral L wave (HR: 2.67, 95% CI: 1.30 - 5.48, p=0.007) was significantly associated with LRAF.
Conclusion
This study revealed that mitral L wave predicts late recurrence of AF after RFCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common perioperative complication of heart and great vessels surgery, aggravating the original myocardial damage and seriously affecting the postoperative recovery of cardiac function. The aim of this study was to reveal the functional effects and potential mechanisms of notoginsenoside R1 (NG-R1) in myocardial cells injured by hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R). METHODS The rat cardiomyocyte line H9c2 was subjected to H/R with or without NG-R1 treatment. The levels of miR-132 and HBEGF in the cell were altered by microRNA or short-hairpin RNA transfection. Cell viability, apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were monitored. Dual luciferin was used to detect the relationship between miR-132 and HBEGF. RESULTS NG-R1 (20 μM) had no impact on H9c2 cells, but cell viability was significantly reduced at 80 μM. NG-R1 (20 μM) protected H9c2 cells against H/R-induced cell damage, accompanied by increased cell viability, reduced cell apoptosis, and downregulation of LDH and MDA. Furthermore, the level of miR-132 was decreased in response to H/R exposure but then increased after NG-R1 treatment. When miR-132 was overexpressed, H/R-induced cell damage could be recovered. Downregulation of miR-132 limited the protective effect of NG-R1 on H/R damage. We also found that HBEGF was a direct target of miR-132. The expression of HBEGF was increased upon H/R damage, and this increase was reversed after NG-R1 treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that NG-R1 markedly protected H9c2 cells against H/R-induced damage via upregulation of miR-132 and downregulation of its target protein HBEGF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which antidiuretic hormone (ADH) inhibited osteogenesis in dental follicle stem cells. DESIGN Rat dental follicle stem cells were cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium supplemented with ADH. Alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity, Alizarin Red S staining, MTT assay and RT-qPCR was used to examine ADH's impact on cell mineralization, viability, and osteogenic gene expression. Real-time calcium imaging analysis was performed to identify the ADH receptor and its mechanism of action. RESULTS ADH supplementation to the osteogenic differentiation medium inhibited cell mineralization without compromising cell viability and downregulated the expression of key osteogenic genes: DCN (Decorin), RUNX2 (Runt-related transcription factor 2) and BSP (Bone sialoprotein). Real-time calcium imaging analysis revealed that ADH (1-1000 nM) increased intracellular calcium in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of cells with V2255, a V1a receptor blocker, inhibited the calcium signals, but not with the V1b (Nelivaptan) or V2 (Tolvaptan). V2255 also reversed the inhibitory effect of ADH on osteogenesis. Furthermore, U73122, a Phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, 2-APB, an Inositol Triphosphate (IP3) receptor blocker, and depletion of endoplasmic reticulum calcium stores abolished the calcium signals by ADH. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that ADH activates V1a receptors and the PLC-IP3 pathway to stimulate intracellular calcium signals, which inhibits cell mineralization and osteogenic gene expression. These findings uncovered a novel function for ADH as a negative regulator of osteogenesis in dental follicle stem cells. The role of ADH in the pathogenesis of bone diseases remains to be determined.

Abstract
Iodine-125 (125I) brachytherapy, a promising form of radiotherapy, is increasingly applied in the clinical treatment of a wide range of solid tumors. However, the extremely hypoxic microenvironment in solid tumors can cause hypoxia-induced radioresistance to 125I brachytherapy, resulting in therapeutic inefficacy. In this study, the aim is to sensitize hypoxic areas in solid tumors using ultrasound-activated oxygen microbubbles for 125I brachytherapy. A modified emulsion freeze-drying method is developed to prepare microbubbles that can be lyophilized for storage and easily reconstituted in situ before administration. The filling gas of the microbubbles is modified by the addition of sulfur hexafluoride to oxygen such that the obtained O2/SF6 microbubbles (OS MBs) achieve a much longer half-life (>3×) than that of oxygen microbubbles. The OS MBs are tested in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (CNE2) tumor-bearing mice and oxygen delivery by the OS MBs induced by ultrasound irradiation relieve hypoxia instantly. The post-treatment results of brachytherapy combined with the ultrasound-triggered OS MBs show a greatly improved therapeutic efficacy compared with brachytherapy alone, illustrating ultrasound-mediated oxygen delivery with the developed OS MBs as a promising strategy to improve the therapeutic outcome of 125I brachytherapy in hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the histopathological effect of gas explosion on rats, and to explore the metabolic alterations associated with gas explosion-induced acute blast lung injury (ABLI) in real roadway environment using metabolomics analyses. All rats were exposed to the gas explosion source at different distance points (160 m and 240 m) except the control group. Respiratory function indexes were monitored and lung tissue analysis was performed to correlate histopathological effect to serum metabolomics. Their sera samples were collected to measure the metabolic alterations by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). HE staining in lung showed that the gas explosion caused obvious inflammatory pulmonary injury, which was consistent with respiratory function monitoring results and the serum metabolomics analysis results. The metabolomics identified 9 significantly metabolites different between the control- and ABLI rats. 2-aminoadipic acid, L-methionine, L-alanine, L-lysine, L-threonine, cholic acid and L-histidine were significantly increased in the exposed groups. Citric acid and aconitic acid were significantly decreased after exposure. Pathway analyses identified 8 perturbed metabolic pathways, which provided novel potential mechanisms for the gas explosion-induced ABLI. Therefore, metabolomics analysis identified both known and unknown alterations in circulating biomarkers, adding an integral mechanistic insight into the gas explosion-induced ABLI in real roadway environment.

Abstract
Benefitting from the coalescence-induced droplet jumping on superhydrophobic surfaces, the condensing droplets on heat exchangers can be removed efficiently, significantly improving the condensation heat-transfer performance of various thermal applications. However, the enhancement of droplet jumping height and self-removal to further improve the condensation heat-transfer performance of the thermal applications remains a challenge due to considerable interfacial adhesion caused by the inevitable partial-Wenzel state condensing droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study, a biphilic nanostructure is developed to effectively improve the droplet jumping height by decreasing the interfacial adhesion with the formation of Cassie-like droplets. Under atmospheric conditions, ∼28% improvement of droplet jumping height is achieved on a biphilic surface compared to that of a superhydrophobic surface. Additionally, the droplet contact electrification on biphilic surfaces discovered in this work allows the droplets to jump ∼137% higher compared with that under atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, the droplet jumping and electrification mechanisms on the biphilic surface are revealed by building a theoretical model that can predict the experimental results well. Apart from being a milestone for the droplet jumping physics development on biphilic nanostructures, this work also provides new insights into the micro-droplet discipline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Uric acid(UA) is related with cardiovascular disease, but the association of UA variability with all-cause mortality is rarely known. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between UA variability and all-cause mortality in Kailuan cohort study in northern China. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Kailuan community hospitals in Tangshan, Hebei province, Northern China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 55717 participants from Kailuan Study were enrolled, and our study followed up biennially from 2006 to 2010. MEASUREMENTS Clinical records of the participants enrolled were analyzed. UA variation independent of mean (UAVIM) values were calculated and all the participants were quartile grouped into four groups as: Q1(UAVIM<0.68), Q2(0.68≤UAVIM<1.10), Q3(1.10≤UAVIM<1.67) and Q4(UAVIM≥1.67). The endpoint event was all-cause death. Cox regression model was performed to evaluate the hazard ratios(HRs) of all-cause mortality based on UAVIM groups. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 6.83 years, 2926 deaths occurred. The accumulated mortality rates were 4.6%, 4.8%, 5.4% and 6.1% in group Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 respectively. When adjusted potential confounders, the highest risk for all-cause mortality was in group Q4 and the adjusted HRs and 95% confidence intervals(CIs) of group Q2-Q4 for all-cause death were 1.044(0.937, 1.164), 1.182(1.064, 1.314) and 1.353(1.220, 1.501) compared with group Q1, respectively. Further analysis showed that the risk for all-cause death increased as UAVIM value increased. Sensitive analysis still showed the similar results when excluding participants with hyperuricemia or severe chronic kidney diseases. Sub-group analysis by age, gender, BMI or hypertension history also indicated analogous results. CONCLUSION Elevated UAVIM was related with increased all-cause mortality and UAVIM was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in the community cohort study.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The arrhythmic substrates of the myocardium such as depolarization and repolarization abnormalities are thought to reflect cardiac dysfunction prior to the morphologic left ventricular dysfunction. Activation time (AT), recovery time (RT) and T wave peek-end interval dispersion (Tpe-dispersion) are useful indicators of the arrhythmic substrate. We examined the appearance of depolarization and repolarization abnormalities in patients with cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) using AT, RT and Tpe-dispersion.
Methods
We conducted a standardized case-control study of CTRCD with 40 patients who developed breast cancer and treated with trastuzumab (13 cases and 27 controls). We assessed the relation between electrocardiographic indexes, including AT, RT and corrected Tpe-dispersion, and CTRCD. QT intervals were measured by Fridericia method, and QT observer 3 software were used for the measurement of all electrocardiographic indexes.
Results
LVEF in case and control group were 45.7±8% and 69.2±6%, respectively. AT in aVR lead was significantly higher in case group compared with control (28.8±7ms vs 22.8±5ms, P=0.02). corrected Tpe-dispersion tended to be higher in case group than that of control group (43.2±19ms vs 31.9±10ms, P=0.06). QT dispersion and RT dispersion were not different between case and control group.
Conclusions
Our study demonstrated that AT in aVR may predict cardiac dysfunction in breast cancer patients with HER2-inhibitor related cardiac dysfunction. More detailed studies using other modalities which can detect depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, including ventricular late potentials and T wave alternans, are needed.

Abstract
How to prevent the flushing-induced plume without changing people's daily habits? Enlightened by thoughts of redesigning the restroom, this article provides a redesigned toilet using liquid-curtain-based strategy and verifies its advantages from the computational fluid dynamics. Two favorable effects are spotted: (1) the liquid curtain can suppress the upward virus particles (only 1% viruses can be lifted out of the toilet) and (2) the flow distribution caused by the liquid curtain can deliver virus particles into the sewage efficiently.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related complications are significant healthcare problems in the growing elderly population. Metabolic factors are the predominant risk factors for CVD, sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity are major modifiable risk factors for CVD. Age-associated cognitive decline and impairment are associated with an increased mortality. Cognitive and physical components of frailty have pathophysiologic rationale as risk factors for CVD. There is a clinical need to identify more practical screens that can assist us to definite cognitive impairment and physical frailty, then to determine which patients with CVD are at high risk of adverse outcomes, early management of these high-risk patients can reduce readmission rates, healthcare spending, and improve quality of care.
Purpose
We aimed to assess the utility of a combination developed using the mini-mental state examination + clock drawing test and the Fried phenotype for predicting non-elective hospital readmission or death within 6-month in elderly inpatients with CVD.
Methods
A single center prospective cohort was conducted between September 2018 and February 2019. Inpatients aged 65 years or older were recruited. All enrolled patients received a comprehensive geriatric assessment during hospitalization. The Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate the cumulative incidence of events. The multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the association between frailty and cognitive status and the non-elective hospital readmission or death.

A total of 542 patients were included; and a total of 113 patients (20.9%) died or were readmitted at 6-month. Overall 20% screened positive for cognitive impairment, including 8% were cognitive impairment combined with physical frailty, which were more older, more common in women and non-married group, had a lower education and a higher risk of malnutrition. Frail participants with normal (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.73, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.06–2.82, P=0.028) and impaired cognition (HR: 2.50, 95% CI: 1.27–4.91, P=0.008) had a higher risk of non-elective hospital readmission or death than robust patients, after adjustment for age, sex, education level, marital status, the presence of diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and previous stroke.
Conclusions
The presence of physical frailty and cognitive frailty were powerful predictors of non-elective hospital readmission or death in elderly inpatients with CVD, and taking cognitive impairment into account in the frailty model may allow better prediction of adverse outcomes of frailty in the short time.
