Abstract
BACKGROUND Seed size and number are important plant traits from an ecological and horticultural/agronomic perspective. However, in small-seeded species such as Arabidopsis thaliana, research on seed size and number is limited by the absence of suitable high throughput phenotyping methods. RESULTS We report on the development of a high throughput method for counting seeds and measuring individual seed sizes. The method uses a large-particle flow cytometer to count individual seeds and sort them according to size, allowing an average of 12,000 seeds/hour to be processed. To achieve this high throughput, post harvested seeds are first separated from remaining plant material (dust and chaff) using a rapid sedimentation-based method. Then, classification algorithms are used to refine the separation process in silico. Accurate identification of all seeds in the samples was achieved, with relative errors below 2%. CONCLUSION The tests performed reveal that there is no single classification algorithm that performs best for all samples, so the recommended strategy is to train and use multiple algorithms and use the median predictions of seed size and number across all algorithms. To facilitate the use of this method, an R package (SeedSorter) that implements the methodology has been developed and made freely available. The method was validated with seed samples from several natural accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana, but our analysis pipeline is applicable to any species with seed sizes smaller than 1.5 mm.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare speech and breathing after sphincter pharyngoplasty and the Hogan pharyngeal flap in the management of cleft-related velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). We reviewed 78 patients with VPI who had either the Hogan flap (n=30) or sphincter pharyngoplasty (n=48) between 2009 and 2011. Velopharyngeal function, nasal patency, and speech were compared. In the Hogan flap group, 25 patients had achieved velopharyngeal competence and nine had normal speech. In the sphincter pharyngoplasty group, 29 patients achieved velopharyngeal competence and 20 normal speech. The Hogan flap group had a higher rate of velopharyngeal competence (n=25) than the sphincter pharyngoplasty group (p=0.033), but there was no significant difference in intelligibility of speech. Eighteen patients in the Hogan flap group and 33 in the sphincter pharyngoplasty group reported symptoms of snoring, with no significant difference in nasal ventilation. Our results suggest that a posterior pharyngeal flap is a more effective technique for managing VPI after repair of cleft palate than sphincter pharyngoplasty, and causes no more postoperative complications in nasal breathing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the most common complications for patients undergoing spinal surgery. This study aims to investigate preventive effects of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) on the formation of DVT. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study involved 37 patients who underwent spinal surgery between April 2016 and April 2017. Patients were divided into LMWH group and Control group. Clinical parameters, including operation time, intra-operative blood loss, incision length, post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS), exercise-time leaving bed and post-operative extubation time, were collected. Blood routine analysis, including platelet count (PLT), red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC) and hemoglobin (HGB) were also conducted. Coagulation parameters, including prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR), fibrinogen (FIB), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time 1 (PT-1) and D-dimer (DD), were evaluated. The drainage fluid was collected. RESULTS LMWH treatment significantly decreased operative time, blood loss and incision length compared to Control group at 1st, 3rd and 7th day post-operation (all p<0.05). LMWH treatment significantly increased WBC levels compared to Control group at 1st, 3rd and 7th day post-operation (p<0.05). LMWH treatment significantly decreased DD levels in the post-operative patients compared to Control group at 1st, 3rd and 7th day post-operation (p<0.05). However, LMWH treatment doesn't affect drainage amounts of patients. DD levels were positively correlated with WBC counts for the LMWH treated patients. CONCLUSIONS Low molecular weight heparin effectively prevents the formation of DVT by reducing DD values in patients undergoing spinal surgery.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Marfan syndrome is a disorder with mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene, leading to elastic fiber degradation and increased TGF-beta signaling. The life-threatening feature of Marfan is aneurysm formation with a risk of fatal aortic dissections. In a proteomics screen, we identified MFAP4, a protein involved in fibrillin-1 and elastic fiber formation, to be increased in the Marfan aorta. We aim to study the role of MFAP4 in Marfan aortic disease.
Methods and results
MFAP4 co-localizes in the aorta with elastin and collagen fibers.
In vitro experiments show that MFAP4 expression is upregulated by TGF-beta, which could explain the increased MFAP4 protein levels in the Marfan aorta.
In a substudy of 96 Marfan patients from the COMPARE trial, MFAP4 levels correlate with aortic root diameter (r=0.30, p=0.01). Patients previously enrolled in the COMPARE trial were retrospectively analyzed. Cardiovascular events, including aortic dissection, were assessed. Plasma samples were prospectively collected at time of inclusion in the study and analyzed retrospectively on MFAP4. In the 7 years of follow up, 5 Type B dissections occurred, all of them in patients in the upper tertile of plasma MFAP4. High plasma MFAP4 associates with poor dissection-free survival (Figure 1).
Moreover, the aortic distensibility as measure for aortic stiffness and damage, was calculated throughout the aorta from available MRI images of these patients. Interestingly, in the descending thoracic aorta where type B dissections occur, the aortic distensibility is significantly lower (indicating decreased aortic elasticity) in Marfan patients with high plasma MFAP4, thus associating with aortic damage.
Figure 1
Conclusion
MFAP4, a protein involved in extracellular matrix assembly, is elevated in the Marfan aorta. High plasma MFAP4 seems to reflect aortic damage and predicted type B aortic dissections in up to 7 years follow up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whereas retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are known to secrete VEGF-A and VEGFR2, the functions of the autocrine VEGF signaling remain unclear. Meanwhile, anti-VEGF therapies have been applied routinely to treat ocular vascular diseases. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the functions of the VEGF signaling in RPE cells and evaluate the consequences of its interruption. METHODS The genes involved in the VEGF and Hippo signal pathways were knocked down with siRNAs in both ARPE-19 cell line and human primary RPE cells via transient transfection whereas overexpression of VEGFR2 was mediated via adenovirus transduction. Expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and the downstream genes of YAP were determined by real-time PCR and Western Blot analysis. Immunofluorescence staining was utilized to determine gene expression in tissue and mouse samples. RESULTS Knockdown of VEGFR2 results in epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of VEGFR2 suppresses TGF β-mediated EMT in RPE cells. Loss of VEGF-C rather than VEGF-A induces EMT. Mechanistically, the VEGFR2 ablation-induced EMT in RPE cells is mediated by activation of YAP, an effector of the Hippo pathway. Finally, the immunohistochemical analysis of VEGFR2 and YAP in human proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) membranes indicates a tendency of an inverse correlation between VEGFR2-positive and YAP-positive cells. CONCLUSIONS Our results disclose unexpected novel roles of VEGFR2 and VEGF-C in the process of EMT of RPE cells and in the Hippo pathway. The data shown here demonstrated that VEGFR2 and VEGF-C are important to maintain the normal physiological state of RPE cells.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate splenic phenotype in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) including presence of cysts and splenomegaly to determine if these are ADPKD related or represent unrelated incidental findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS The axial/coronal T2-weighted images of ADPKD patients (n=215) and age/gender-matched controls (n=215) were evaluated for the presence of T2-bright splenic lesions by three blinded observers. Spleen volume (SV) was evaluated in the context of clinical and imaging features as well as results of gene testing for PKD1 and PKD2 mutations. RESULTS T2-bright splenic lesions were found in 16 of 215 (7%) ADPKD patients compared to 11 of 215 (5%) control patients (p=0.32) and their prevalence was similar in patients with either PKD1 or PKD2 mutations. Median SV was significantly higher in ADPKD patients than controls (236 [182; 313 ml] versus 176 [129; 264 ml], p<0.0001). In multivariable analysis, height-adjusted SV (htSV) was not associated with the presence of liver cysts, haemorrhagic cysts, or infections; however, htSV was directly associated with height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV), a biomarker for ADPKD disease severity. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of T2-bright splenic lesions is similar in ADPKD patients and non-ADPKD controls, suggesting no relation to the diagnosis of ADPKD; however, splenic enlargement in ADPKD compared to controls could not be explained by liver cystic involvement, by infection/inflammatory conditions, or by haemorrhagic renal cysts. This combined with direct correlation of htSV with htTKV, a biomarker of ADPKD severity, suggests splenomegaly may be related to the pathogenesis of ADPKD.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Upper limb fractures (including wrist, forearm, and humerus) represent a significant burden among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Up to 7 years of treatment with denosumab resulted in an increase in bone mineral density and decrease in fractures in upper limb sites. INTRODUCTION Upper limb (wrist, forearm, and humerus) fractures are a significant burden in osteoporosis, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against RANK ligand, increases bone mineral density (BMD) and decreases vertebral, nonvertebral, and hip fractures. Here, we evaluated the long-term effect of denosumab treatment on upper limb fracture risk and BMD. METHODS In the FREEDOM trial, subjects were randomized 1:1 to receive every-6-month denosumab 60 mg or placebo subcutaneously for 3 years, after which all subjects could receive denosumab for up to 7 years (Extension). Among placebo subjects who completed FREEDOM and enrolled in the Extension, wrist, forearm, humerus, and upper limb fracture rates and rate ratios between different time periods (FREEDOM years 1-3, Extension years 1-3, and Extension years 4-7) were computed. BMD at the ultradistal radius, 1/3 radius, and total radius was analyzed in a subset of subjects in a BMD substudy. RESULTS This analysis included 2207 subjects (116 in the BMD substudy). Fracture rates decreased over the 7-year Extension; fracture rate ratios between Extension years 4-7 (denosumab) and FREEDOM years 1-3 (placebo) reduced significantly for the wrist (0.57), forearm (0.57), humerus (0.42), and upper limb (0.52; p < 0.05 for all). Percentage increase in BMD from Extension baseline at the ultradistal radius, 1/3 radius, and total radius was significant by Extension year 7 (p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Long-term treatment with denosumab decreases upper limb fracture risk and increases forearm BMD, suggesting beneficial effects on both cortical and trabecular bone accruing over time.

Abstract
To understand mineral transport pathways for shell secretion and to assess differences in cellular activity during mineralization, we imaged with TEM and FE-SEM ultrastructural characteristics of outer mantle epithelium (OME) cells. Imaging was carried out on Magellania venosa shells embedded/etched, chemically fixed/decalcified and high-pressure frozen/freeze-substituted samples from the commissure, central shell portions and from puncta. Imaging results are complemented with morphometric evaluations of volume fractions of membrane-bound organelles. At the commissure the OME consists of several layers of cells. These cells form oblique extensions that, in cross-section, are round below the primary layer and flat underneath fibres. At the commissure the OME is multi-cell layered, in central shell regions it is single-cell layered. When actively secreting shell carbonate extrapallial space is lacking, because OME cells are in direct contact with the calcite of the forming fibres. Upon termination of secretion, OME cells attach via apical hemidesmosomes to extracellular matrix membranes that line the proximal surface of fibres. At the commissure volume fractions for vesicles, mitochondria and lysosomes are higher relative to single-cell layered regions, whereas for endoplasmic-reticulum and Golgi apparatus there is no difference. FE-SEM, TEM imaging reveals the lack of extrapallial space between OME cells and developing fibres. In addition, there is no indication for an amorphous precursor within fibres when these are in active secretion mode. Accordingly, our results do not support transport of minerals by vesicles from cells to sites of mineralization, rather by transfer of carbonate ions via transport mechanisms associated with OME cell membranes.

Abstract
Systematic high pressure transport measurements were performed on underdoped Ca10(Pt3As8)((Fe0.95Pt0.05)2As2)5 single crystal sample. At ambient pressure, the sample shows a metallic behavior at high temperatures and then increases with further decreasing temperature. The resistivity dip, which is associated with metal to semiconductor transition is monotonically suppressed by increasing pressure. In contrast, the superconducting transition temperature [Formula: see text] first increases with pressure and then decreases with further increasing pressure. Magnetization measurements, which gives the bulk [Formula: see text], show the same trend as the one obtained from resistivity measurements. An upward curvature is observed in the temperature dependence of the upper critical field [Formula: see text], which suggests the multiband nature of the superconductivity. The constructed temperature-pressure (T-P) phase diagram is very similar to the reported temperature-doping (T - x) phase diagram, suggesting the similar role played by pressure and chemical doping.

Abstract
MYB transcription factors have been demonstrated to play key regulatory roles in plant growth, development and abiotic stress response. However, knowledge concerning the involvement of rice MYB genes in salinity and drought stress resistance are largely unknown. In the present study, we cloned and characterized the OsMYB6 gene, which was induced by drought and salinity stress. Subcellular localization of OsMYB6-YFP fusion protein in protoplast cells indicated that OsMYB6 was localized in the nucleus. Overexpression of OsMYB6 in rice did not suggest a negative effect on the growth and development of transgenic plants, but OsMYB6-overexpressing plants showed increased tolerance to drought and salt stress compared with wild-type plants, as are evaluated by higher proline content, higher CAT and SOD activities, lower REL and MDA content in transgenic plants under drought and salt stress conditions. In addition, the expression of abiotic stress-responsive genes were significantly higher in OsMYB6 transgenic plants than that in wild-type plants under drought and salt stress conditions. These results indicate that OsMYB6 gene functions as a stress-responsive transcription factor which plays a positive regulatory role in response to drought and salt stress resistance, and may be used as a candidate gene for molecular breeding of salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant crop varieties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical value of perineural invasion (PNI) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa) is widely explored. However, its role in metastatic PCa (mPCa) remains unknown. OBJECTIVES We aim to investigate the clinical significance of PNI in patients with mPCa. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 515 mPCa patients between 2012 and 2018 were retrospectively studied. PNI and its intensity were identified by prostate biopsy. The prognostic value of PNI was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional-hazards model. RESULTS Perineural invasion was detected in 170/515 (33.0%) cases. Among them 73/170 (42.9%) and 97/170 (57.1%) harbored unifocal PNI (uni-PNI) and multifocal PNI (multi-PNI), respectively. Compared to patients without PNI, those with PNI had statistically shorter castration-resistant PCa-free survival (CFS) and numerically shorter overall survival (OS) (mCFS: 15.4- vs. 18.5-Mo, p = 0.015; mOS: 63.8- vs. 71.4-Mo, p = 0.108). Patients harboring multi-PNI were associated with poorer clinical outcomes than those with uni-PNI (mCFS: 12.4- vs. 18.0-Mo, p = 0.040; mOS: 39.7-Mo vs. NR, p = 0.018) or those without PNI (mCFS: 12.4- vs. 18.5-Mo, p = 0.002; mOS: 39.7- vs. 71.4-Mo, p = 0.002). Totally, neither uni-PNI nor multi-PNI was an independent risk factor impacting survival outcomes in multivariate analyses. While remarkably, for patients with favorable/intermediate-risk mPCa, multi-PNI was an independent adverse prognosticator for both CFS and OS (CFS: HR: 1.705, 95% CI: 1.029-2.825, p = 0.038; OS: HR: 3.294, 95% CI: 1.464-7.413, p = 0.004). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This study filled the blank of the clinical significance of PNI in mPCa. We found that multi-PNI could distinguish men with relatively poor prognosis from patients initially regarded as with favorable survival outcomes by other prognosticators, and thus, avoid disease underestimation in this group of patients. Our finding would help physicians have a deeper understanding of the heterogeneity of mPCa and make better individualized therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of mechanical tissue removal systems is more frequently implemented as the first line approach for the treatment of intrauterine pathology. Scientific evidence is provided that their use is easier and faster than the conventional resectoscope. It is necessary to objectively evaluate the results on tissue removal systems for the treatment of endometrial pathology as the reports in the literature are still conflicting. OBJECTIVE To review and compare mechanical hysteroscopic tissue removal systems (Truclear®, Myosure® or IBS®) versus conventional bipolar and monopolar resectoscopy for the treatment of polyp and myoma removal. Operation time, completeness of tissue removal, complication rate, fluid deficit, tolerability and learning curve were evaluated. METHODS Electronic databases PubMed; Medline and Web of Science were searched for papers published from 1st January 2010 to 1st May 2019 using terms: ("hysteroscopic" or "hysteroscopy" or "hysteroscopic surgery") and ("myoma" or "polyps"). Studies were included if they were retrospective, observational and prospective randomized clinical controlled trials if they investigated the techniques between the tissue removal systems (Truclear®, Myosure® or IBS®) and conventional resectoscopy for the treatment of intrauterine pathology. Data were extracted from the included studies by two independent reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed by Rev Man 5 software (Cochrane Collaboration, London, UK). Results: Overall, 498 patients were analysed from five studies in which there was no difference in age and size of pathology treated either by the hysteroscopic tissue removal systems and the conventional resectoscope. Hysteroscopic tissue removal systems showed a significantly higher success rate of complete endometrial pathology removal (P=0.002) and a significantly shorter operation time for polyp removal (P<0.0001) compared to conventional resectoscopy. No significant differences, in terms of complications rate, were found (P=0.09). The fluid deficit was significantly higher in the tissue removal system group, compared to conventional resectoscopy (P=0.02). CONCLUSION Hysteroscopic tissue removal systems showed a major advantage in successful removal of the pathology and total operation time. It is likely that the tissue removal systems are more accessible and have a lower complication profile including perforation, via falsa and bleeding due to its specific action mechanism and shorter operation time but higher-quality trials will be required to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
Liquid penetration into thin porous media such as paper is often simulated using continuum-scale single-phase Darcy's law. The underlying assumption was that a sharp invasion front percolates through the layer. To explore this ambiguous assumption and to understand the controlling pore-scale mechanisms, we have developed a dynamic pore-network model to simulate imbibition of a wetting phase from a droplet into a paper coating layer. The realistic pore structures are obtained using the FIB-SEM imaging of the coating material with a minimum resolution of 3.5 nm. Pore network was extracted from FIB-SEM images using Avizo software. Data of extracted pore network are used for statistically generating pore network. Droplet sizes are chosen in the range of those applicable in inkjet printing. Our simulations show no sharp invasion front exists and there is the presence of residual non-wetting phase. In addition, penetration of different sizes of droplets of different material properties into the pore network with different pore body and pore throat sizes are performed. We have found an approximately linear decrease in droplet volume with time. This contradicts the expected t -behavior in vertical imbibition that is obtained using macroscopic single-phase Darcy's law. With increase in flow rate, transition of imbibition invasion front from percolation-like pattern to a more sharper one with less trapping of non-wetting phase is also reported. Our simulations suggest that the single-phase Darcy's law does not adequately describe liquid penetration into materials such as paper coating layer. Instead Richards equation would be a better choice.

Abstract
AIM Cortistatin (CST) is a newly discovered endogenous active peptide that exerts protective effects on the cardiovascular system. However, the relationship between CST and aortic calcification and the underlying mechanism remain obscure. Therefore, we investigated effects of CST on aortic calcification and its signalling pathways. METHODS Calcium content and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were measured using the o-cresolphthalein colorimetric method and ALP assay kit respectively. Protein expression of smooth muscle (SM)-ɑ-actin, osteocalcin (OCN), β-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), p-GSK3β, protein kinase C (PKC), p-PKC, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p-JNK was determined using Western blotting. RESULTS In aorta from a rat vitamin D3 calcification model, CST abrogated calcium deposition and pathological damage, decreased the protein expression of OCN and β-catenin and increased SM-ɑ-actin expression. In a rat cultured vascular smooth muscular cell (VSMC) calcification model induced by β-glycerophosphate (β-GP), CST inhibited the increase in ALP activity, calcium content and OCN protein and the decrease in SM-α-actin expression. CST also inhibited the β-GP-induced increase in p-GSK3β and β-catenin protein (both P < .05). The inhibitory effects of CST on ALP activity, calcium deposition and β-catenin protein were abolished by pretreatment with lithium chloride, a GSK3β inhibitor. CST promoted the protein expression of p-PKC by 68.5% (P < .01), but not p-JNK. The ability of CST to attenuate β-GP-induced increase in ALP activity, calcium content and OCN expression in the VSMC model was abolished by pretreatment with the PKC inhibitor Go6976. CONCLUSION These results indicate that CST inhibits aortic calcification and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs likely via the GSK3β/β-catenin and PKC signalling pathways, but not JNK signalling pathway.

Abstract
Plantaricin EF (PlnEF) is a class IIb bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum. We compared L. plantarum NCIMB8826 and LM0419, a plnEFI deletion mutant of that strain lacking plnEF and the gene for the cognate immunity protein plnI, in a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) induced mouse model of acute inflammatory bowel disease. Mice fed either L. plantarum NCIMB8826 or LM0419 were not protected against TNBS according to either disease activity or histology (Ameho) scores. Mice consuming NCIMB8826 exhibited intermediate (non-significant) levels of colonic tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) that ranged between the TNBS-treated animals and healthy controls. By comparison, TNF-α and IL-6 quantities were elevated in mice given L. plantarum LM0419 and equivalent to mice given TNBS alone. Both strains survived digestive tract transit in equal numbers and did not result in global changes to the bacterial composition in the intestine according to 16S rRNA gene sequencing either prior to or after TNBS administration. Examination of intestinal taxa showed that mice consuming wild-type L. plantarum, but not LM0419 contained lower proportions of Mucispirillum (Deferribacteres phylum) in the faeces prior to TNBS administration and Parabacteroides (Bacteroidetes phylum) in the caecum after disease induction. Parabacteroides also positively correlated with disease activity and histology scores. These findings suggest a role for PlnEFI production by L. plantarum in benefiting digestive tract health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a complex disease influenced by both genetic and environmental factors with abnormal gene expression in lesional skin. However, no studies are available on genome-scale gene expression of psoriatic lesions in the Chinese population. In addition, systematic studies on the biological pathways, pathogenicity and interaction networks of psoriasis-related genes with abnormal expression profiles require further investigation. OBJECTIVES To further explore the associated pathways in psoriasis by functional analysis and to identify the key genes by gene pathogenicity analysis. METHODS We performed RNA sequencing on 60 skin biopsy samples from patients with psoriasis and healthy controls to identify the primary differentially expressed genes in psoriatic lesional skin. We retrieved all reported psoriasis-associated genes and performed integrative analyses covering gene expression profiling, pathway analysis, gene pathogenicities and protein-protein interaction networks. RESULTS We found that internal and external stimuli may activate immunoinflammatory responses to promote the development of psoriasis. Pathways associated with infectious diseases and cancers were identified by functional and pathway analyses. The gene pathogenicity analysis revealed five key genes in psoriasis: PPARD, GATA3, TIMP3, WNT5A and PTTG1. CONCLUSIONS Our analyses showed that genes contributed to the pathogenesis of psoriasis by activating risk pathways with components abnormality in expression. We identified five potentially pathogenic genes for psoriasis that may serve as important biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The impact of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels on immune status in chronically HCV mono-infected when compared to HIV/HCV co-infected on antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains poorly understood. A total of 78 African American subjects HCV viraemic/naïve to HCV treatment (33 HCV genotype 1 mono-infected, 45 ART-treated HIV/HCV genotype 1 co-infected) were studied. Clinical and liver enzyme measurements were performed. Whole blood was analysed for immune subset changes by flow cytometry. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were used for same-day constitutive and in vitro Interferon (IFN)-α-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) phosphorylation, K562 target cell lysis and K562 target cell recognition-mediated IFN-γ production. Statistical analysis was performed using R (2.5.1) or JMP Pro 11. While both groups did not differ in the level of liver enzymes, HIV/HCV had higher T-cell activation/exhaustion, and constitutive STAT-1 phosphorylation compared to HCV. In contrast, CD4+ FoxP3+ CD25+ frequency, IFN-αR expression on NK cells, as well as constitutive and IFN-α-induced direct cytotoxicity were lower in HIV/HCV. Linear regression models further supported these results. Finally, increase in HCV viral load and CD4+ T-cell count had an opposite effect between the two groups on NK cell activity and T-cell activation, respectively. HCV viral load in ART-treated HIV/HCV co-infection was associated with greater immune activation/exhaustion and NK dysfunction than HCV viral load alone in HCV mono-infection. The more pronounced immune modulation noted in ART-treated HIV-co-infected/untreated HCV viraemic subjects may impact HCV disease progression and/or response to immunotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNA (miRNA) processing genes play important roles in the craniofacial development. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of miRNA processing genes with the risk of non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC). METHODS We genotyped 12 potentially functional SNPs from seven miRNA processing genes (GEMIN3, DROSHA, DGCR8, GEMIN4, PIWIL1, XPO5, and DICER) in a case-control study of 602 NSOC cases and 605 controls. RESULTS Two SNPs were associated with the susceptibility of CL/P: rs10719 in DROSHA led to an increased risk of cleft lip with or without palate (CL/P) (GA/AA: p = .024, OR = 1.33, 95% CI = [1.04, 1.70]; GG + GA/AA: p = .037, OR = 1.29, 95% CI = [1.02, 1.63]), while rs493760 in DROSHA (CC/TT: p = .049, OR = 0.58, 95% CI = [0.34, 0.99]) could reduce the risk of CL/P. In addition, rs10719 (A)-rs493760 (C) haplotype contributed to a decreased risk of CL/P (OR = 0.77, 95% CI = [0.63, 0.94]), whereas the rs10719 (G)-rs493760 (C) haplotype contributed to the increased risk of cleft palate only (CPO) (OR = 2.70, 95% CI = [1.15, 6.35]). However, there was no difference observed in these SNPs after the Bonferroni correction. CONCLUSION Taken together, our results provided the potential evidence that rs10719 and rs493760 might contribute to the risk of CL/P and suggested potential genetic basis and mechanisms of CL/P. The lack of association between these SNPs and CPO might be due to the limited sample size of CPO subgroup.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of lithium on alveolar bone formation during orthodontic retention in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS After 2 weeks of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), 42 8-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two orthodontic retention groups: one without (control) and the other with LiCl treatment (LiCl group). Samples were collected on days 0, 3, 7 and 14 during the retention period. We evaluated the bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) ratio and new bone formation in the region of interests (ie, the root, the periodontal ligament and the adjacent alveolar bone around the distal buccal surface of the distal root of the maxillary first molar). We performed quantitative analyses, including histology, histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry to identify Runx2 and Osterix expression. RESULTS The density of trabecular bone, the quantity of osteoblasts and the expression of osteogenic markers, Runx2 and Osterix, were significantly higher in the LiCl group than in the control group during the orthodontic retention period. CONCLUSION LiCl enhances alveolar bone formation during orthodontic retention in rats.

Abstract
A variety of clinical classification schemes have been proposed as a means to identify sites in the oral cavity where implant osseointegration is likely to be successful. Most schemes are based on structural characteristics of the bone, for example, the relative proportion of densely compact, homogenous (type I) bone versus more trabeculated, cancellous (type III) bone. None of these schemes, however, consider potential biological characteristics of the bone. Here, we employed multiscale analyses to identify and characterize type I and type III bones in murine jaws. We then combined these analytical tools with in vivo models of osteotomy healing and implant osseointegration to determine if one type of bone healed faster and supported osseointegration better than another. Collectively, these studies revealed a strong positive correlation between bone remodeling rates, mitotic activity, and osteotomy site healing in type III bone and high endogenous Wnt signaling. This positive correlation was strengthened by observations showing that the osteoid matrix that is responsible for implant osseointegration originates from Wnt-responsive cells and their progeny. The potential application of this knowledge to clinical practice is discussed, along with a theory unifying the role that biology and mechanics play in implant osseointegration.

Abstract
For cancer cells to proliferate, a balance must be built between biomass-forming, glucose-metabolized intermediates and ATP production. How intrinsic glucose carbon flow regulates this balance remains unclear. Here we show that mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK2), the hub molecule linking tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis by conversion of mitochondrial oxaloacetate (OAA) to phosphoenolpyruvate, regulates glucose carbon flow direction in stem-like cells that repopulate tumors (tumor-repopulating cells (TRCs)). PCK2 downregulation accelerated biosynthesis and transportation of citrate from mitochondria to the cytosol, leading to cytosolic glucose carbon flow via OAA-malate-pyruvate and acetyl-CoA-fatty acid pathways in TRCs. On the other hand, downregulating PCK2 hindered fumarate carbon flows in TCA cycle, leading to attenuated oxidative phosphorylation. In pathological terms, PCK2 overexpression slowed TRC growth in vitro and impeded tumorigenesis in vivo. Overall, our work unveiled unexpected glucose carbon flows of TRCs in melanoma that have implications for targeting metabolic aspects of melanoma.

Abstract
As the IL-12 family plays an important role in immune regulation, it arouses the attention of the researchers increasingly. There are mainly four members in the IL-12 family, including IL-12, IL-23, IL-27 and IL-35 at present. The family members share many similar structures, but they have their own distinctive biological characteristics and play different roles to balance the functional effects of their own family. IL-12 and IL-23 are positive regulators and mainly play pro-inflammatory effect while IL-27 and IL-35 are negative regulators and mainly play anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, IL-12 family plays an important role in the regulation of the immune response and this function may be better than other cytokine family. IL-12 family has an important regulatory effect on multiple T cell subsets and also has an impact on their differentiation and function. So, we postulate that the IL-12 family may have an intense relationship with the generation and development of the allergic rhinitis. This article will mainly talk about the unique structure and role of the IL-12 cytokine family and discuss its immune regulation effect in the allergic rhinitis.
