Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the binding of Mage-D1 with activated p75NTR and explore their role in regulating mineralization of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs). METHODS EMSCs were isolated from the tooth germs of embryonic SD rats (19.5 days of gestation) by tissue explant culture and were identified for surface markers using flow cytometry. The cultured cells were divided into blank control group, 100 ng/mL nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation group, and lentivirus-mediated Mage-D1 interference (SH-Mage-D1) group. Proximity ligation assay was used to detect the binding of Mage-D1 with activated p75NTR in the EMSCs, and the binding strength was compared among the 3 groups. Alizarin red staining and ALP staining were used to observe mineralization of the induced cells. The expressions of ALP, Runx2, OCN, BSP, OPN, Msx1 and Dlx1 at both the mRNA and protein levels were detected using RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS The isolated EMSCs expressed high levels of cell surface markers CD44, CD90, CD29, CD146, and CD105 with a low expression of CD45. The results of proximity ligation assay showed that the binding of Mage-D1 with activated p75NTR in the cells increased over time, and the binding strength was significantly greater in NFG-treated cells than in the cells in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Alizarin red staining and ALP staining of the induced cells showed that the changes in the mineralization nodules were consistent with those of ALP activity. The cells treated with 100 ng/mL NGF exhibited significantly increased expressions of ALP, Runx2, OCN, BSP, OPN, Col1, Msx1 and Dlx1 as compared with the cells in the other two groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Mage-D1 directly binds to activated p75NTR in embryonic rat EMSCs to positively regulate the mineralization of the EMSCs.

Abstract
Extra-axial chordoma is a rare neoplasm of extra-axial skeleton and soft tissue that shares identical histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features with midline chordoma. While genetic changes in conventional chordoma have been well-studied, the genomic alterations of extra-axial chordoma have not been reported. It is well known that conventional chordoma is a tumor with predominantly non-random copy number alterations and low mutational burden. Herein we describe the clinicopathologic and genomic characteristics of six cases of extra-axial chordoma, with genome-wide high-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism array, fluorescence in situ hybridization and targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. The patients presented at a mean age of 33 years (range: 21-54) with a female to male ratio of 5:1. Four cases were histologically conventional type, presented with bone lesions and three of them had local recurrence. Two cases were poorly differentiated chordomas, presented with intra-articular soft tissue masses and both developed distant metastases. All cases showed brachyury positivity and the two poorly differentiated chordomas showed in addition loss of INI-1 expression by immunohistochemical analysis. Three of four extra-axial conventional chordomas showed simple genome with loss of chromosome 22 or a heterozygous deletion of SMARCB1. Both poorly differentiated chordomas demonstrated a complex hyperdiploid genomic profile with gain of multiple chromosomes and homozygous deletion of SMARCB1. Our findings show that heterozygous deletion of SMARCB1 or the loss of chromosome 22 is a consistent abnormality in extra-axial chordoma and transformation to poorly differentiated chordoma is characterized by homozygous loss of SMARCB1 associated with genomic complexity and instability such as hyperdiploidy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. Although a number of homeobox (HOX) genes are known to serve an important role in breast cancer, the role of HOXD8 in breast cancer remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of HOXD8 in the physiological behaviors of breast cancer cells. The Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database was used to analyze the expression of HOXD8 in patients with breast cancer and in healthy subjects. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression levels of HOXD8 in several breast cancer cell lines; subsequently, HOXD8 expression was knocked down and overexpressed in MCF-7 cells. Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, wound healing and Transwell assays were used to evaluate the effects of HOXD8 on breast cancer cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion, respectively. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted to identify the binding sites between HOXD8 and inhibitor of apoptosis-like protein-2 (ILP2). In addition, ILP2 expression levels were knocked down in MCF-7 cells. The results demonstrated that the expression levels of HOXD8 were significantly downregulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, and that the overexpression of HOXD8 inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of cancer cells. HOXD8 was shown to bind to the ILP2 promoter to regulate the expression of ILP2. Furthermore, ILP2 knockdown reversed the effects of HOXD8 knockdown on breast cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggested that HOXD8 may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells by downregulating ILP2 expression.

Abstract
Background Aortic regurgitation is the most common cardiovascular damage in Chinese patients with Behçet’s disease (BD) and is usually associated with aortic disease. These patients are easily misdiagnosed, and their prognosis is poor, even after surgical treatment. This study aimed to analyse potential factors that can improve the prognosis of BD patients with aortic regurgitation and/or aortic involvement. Methods Twenty-two patients with diagnosed or suspected BD as well as aortic regurgitation and/or aortic involvement in our hospital from 2012 through 2017 were collected in this study. Their clinical characteristics were listed, and the diagnosis of BD was evaluated by two different criteria sets. The influences of surgical treatment and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) on their prognosis were also explored. Results The diagnostic positive rate of the International Criteria for Behçet’s Disease was higher than that of the International Study Group criteria (kappa value 0.31, p < 0.05), indicating that the diagnostic consistency between the criteria sets was poor. There was no significant difference in survival between patients who had undergone ≤ 1 operation and those with ≥ 2 operations. Aortic valve replacement alone or in combination with aortic root replacement had no significant effect on the incidence of reoperation or death, but IST did significantly reduce this incidence (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of reoperation or death between preoperative and postoperative IST versus postoperative IST only. Conclusion IST significantly improved the prognosis of BD patients with aortic regurgitation and/or aortic involvement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The long non-coding RNA DDX11 antisense RNA 1 (DDX11-AS1) was found to be highly expressed in gastric cancer (GC). This study was to explore the role and molecular mechanism in oxaliplatin (OXA) resistance. PATIENTS AND METHODS The levels of DDX11-AS1, microRNA-326 (miR-326) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) were measured by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were examined by methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), transwell and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Levels of all protein were detected using Western blot. The correlation between miR-326 and DDX11-AS1/IRS1 was confirmed by Dual-Luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. The xenograft model was constructed to explore the effect of DDX11-AS1 in vivo. RESULTS DDX11-AS1 was overexpressed in OXA-resistant GC tissues and cells, and DDX11-AS1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion and OXA resistance, and promoted apoptosis in OXA-resistant GC cells. Mechanically, DDX11-AS1 directly targeted miR-326 and miR-326 could bind to IRS1 in OXA-resistant GC cells. Functionally, silencing DDX11-AS1 repressed the progression and OXA resistance in OXA-resistant GC cells by down-modulating IRS1 expression via sponging miR-326 in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS DDX11-AS1 accelerated the progression and OXA chemoresistance of GC cells in vitro and in vivo by sponging miR-326, thus increasing the expression of IRS1, suggesting DDX11-AS1 might be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in GC.

Abstract
AIMS Esteya vermicola is an endoparasitic fungus producing lunate conidia, which kill pine wood nematode (PWN), and PWN could cause pine wilt disease (PWD). The aims of this study were to increase production and confirm the resistance (temperature and UV irradiation) of lunate conidia, and further determine the effective concentrations of conidia infecting PWN. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, rice was used as a carrier to absorb conidial suspension to propagate conidia. The optimal conditions for lunate conidia production were 25°C temperature, 9 days of culture time, 2 : 1 rice/distilled water ratio and 10% inoculum size. The germination rate of E. vermicola cultured on potato dextrose agar was influenced by UV irradiation, similar to growth on rice. Esteya vermicola cultured on rice under heat stress might be more suitable for application in the field. The concentration (1 × 108 conidia per ml) to kill PWN had the highest infectivity among the four conidia concentrations tested after 3 days of inoculation. CONCLUSIONS This study showed a rice substrate-supported high-quality conidia production and the optimal infectivity concentration of E. vermicola. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These results provide the necessary process of an economical and efficient biological control strategy against PWD.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) has received widespread attention for its role in several key cellular processes such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and autoimmune diseases. Although we now have a good understanding of miRNA expression and function, our knowledge regarding the molecular mechanism of long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) is still in its infancy. In this review, we will briefly introduce the definition and function of lncRNA and summarize the interactions between lncRNA and miRNA and their research progress in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The expression of miR‐16, miR‐146a, miR‐155, and miR‐223 and the interactions between HOTAIR and miR138, ZFAS1 and miR‐27a, and GAPLINC and miR‐575 are representative examples that may augment the understanding of the pathogenesis of RA and help in the development of new biomarkers and target therapies.

Abstract
Objective: To explore and analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of infant hairy polyp. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on 13 cases of hairy polyp confirmed by pathology, who were admitted to the Children's Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2010 to September 2019, including 4 males and 9 females, with a male-female ratio of 1∶2.25. The age ranged from 3 hours to 1 year, and the median age was 1 month. Twelve of the 13 children were found to have difficulty breathing or feeding. All the children received coblation resection under general anesthesia. The root pedicle of the mass was found in the lateral nasopharyngeal wall in 8 cases, in the junction of palatine and palatopharyngeal arch of tonsil and the tongue and esophageal entrance in 1 case, respectively. Nasal septum was found in 2 cases, including 1 case located between two incisors. The wound at the root pedicle was ablated and the bleeding was stopped completely. Results: Postoperative follow-up lasted from 3 months to 2 years, and there was no recurrence in 12 cases. Fibrolaryngoscope showed a mass of the right eustachian tube and pharyngeal mouth in 1 case 2 years after the surgery, which was considered recurrence of hairy polyps and lost after that. Conclusion: Hairy polyps in infants is a rare clinical disease, and its main symptom is upper respiratory tract obstruction. Early diagnosis and radical surgery are the key to the treatment of the disease.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on inflammatory responses induced by ETEC K88 and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS Intestinal porcine cells (IPEC-1) were incubated with 0 or 1 × 108 CFU per well L. plantarum for 4 h, and then these cells were challenged with 0 or 1 × 108 CFU per well ETEC K88 for 2 h. The results showed that pre-treatment of IPEC-1 cells with L. plantarum prevented the increases in the transcript abundance of interleukin-1α (IL-1α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (P < 0·05) caused by ETEC K88. Additionally, L. plantarum inhibited the reduction in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) expression caused by ETEC K88 (P < 0·05). Moreover, L. plantarum pre-treatment downregulated the phosphorylation levels of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and p38 and the nuclear concentration of nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NF-κB p65) (P < 0·05) compared with ETEC K88 group. Silencing experiment further supported that the protective effect of L. plantarum P might mediated by suppression of ETEC-provoked activation of MAPK and NF-κB signalling pathways. CONCLUSIONS Lactobacillus plantarum inhibited the inflammatory response induced by ETEC K88 in IPEC-1 cells via modulating MAPK and NF-κB signalling. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study elucidated the underlying mechanism in which probiotics protect against intestinal inflammation caused by ETEC K88.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Regional lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer. Occult tumour cells (OTCs), including either micrometastases (MMs) or isolated tumour cells (ITCs), may be a key factor in the development of cancer recurrence in pN0 patients. AIMS We aimed to determine the frequency and prognostic significance for disease recurrence of OTCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included all consecutive patients with pN0 gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2000 and December 2011 (n = 73). Immunohistochemistry using the pan-cytokeratin antibody AE1/AE3 was used to detect OTCs in 1257 isolated lymph nodes. RESULTS OTCs were identified in 30 patients (41%), including 20 cases with MMs (27%) and 10 cases with ITCs (14%). Disease recurrence and cancer-related death were observed in 24 (33%) and 20 patients (27%), respectively, and both were significantly associated with the detection of OTCs. A significant difference was also observed for the mean survival time between patients with OTCs and those without OTCs [100 vs 158 months (p = 0.015)]. The presence of OTCs was statistically significantly associated with the Lauren classification, tumour size and lymphatic permeation. Multivariate analyses revealed that only age, T stage and the presence of ITCs in lymph nodes were independent factors for recurrence. The presence of ITCs increased the risk for recurrence by 11.1-fold. CONCLUSIONS In a significant proportion of patients diagnosed as stage pN0, OTCs may be identified in lymph nodes if carefully searched for, which can negatively affect their prognosis. The presence of ITCs was found to be an independent factor for recurrence and after proper validation should be considered during lymph node assessment for prognosis definition.
