Abstract
To assess the mechanism of the pharmacokinetic interaction between piperacillin and tazobactam, renal excretion and pharmacokinetic studies of piperacillin/tazobactam were investigated in normal and bacteremia rats. A bacteremia model was established to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of piperacillin and tazobactam under different conditions. Renal slices were taken to examine the uptake of piperacillin and tazobactam. Pharmacokinetic studies of β-lactamase in rats were performed to study the contribution of rOat1/3 to the inhibition of tazobactam on β-lactamase. The AUC (from 2.93 ± 0.58 to 6.52 ± 1.44 mg·min/ml) and the plasma clearance (CLP ) (from 2.41 ± 1.20 to 0.961 ± 0.212 ml/min/kg) of tazobactam were both altered after the intravenous coadministration of piperacillin and tazobactam in the bacteremia rats. The renal clearance (CLR ) of tazobactam decreased from 1.30 ± 0.50 to 0.361 ± 0.043 ml/min/kg. In summary, there was a beneficial interaction between piperacillin and tazobactam mediated by rOat1 and rOat3. Piperacillin enhances the inhibitory effect of tazobactam on β-lactamase through the inhibition of rOat1 and rOat3 in rats. The contribution rate of rOat1/3 for the synergistic effect was 20% when the two drugs were coadministered.

Abstract
Inflammatory diseases are caused by abnormal immune responses and are characterized by an imbalance of inflammatory mediators and cells. In recent years, the anti-inflammatory activity of natural products has attracted wide attention. Rosmarinic acid (RosA) is a water-soluble phenolic compound that is an ester of caffeic acid and 3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl lactic acid. It is discovered in many plants, like those of the Boraginaceae and Lamiaceae families. RosA has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, anti-tumorigenic, and anti-inflammatory effects. The anti-inflammatory effects of RosA have been revealed through in vitro and in vivo studies of various inflammatory diseases like arthritis, colitis, and atopic dermatitis. This article mainly describes the preclinical research of RosA on inflammatory diseases and depicts a small amount of clinical research data. The purpose of this review is to discuss the anti-inflammatory effects of RosA in inflammatory diseases and its underlying mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epirubicin is a potent chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of breast cancer. However, it may lead to cardiotoxicity and cardiomyopathy, and no reliable biomarker was available for the early prediction of epirubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. METHODS Global gene expression changes of peripheral blood cells were studied using high-throughput RNA sequencing in three pair-matched breast cancer patients (patients who developed symptomatic cardiomyopathy paired with patients who did not) before and after the full session of epirubicin-based chemotherapy. Functional analysis was conducted using gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis. RESULTS We identified 13 significantly differentially expressed genes between patients who developed symptomatic epirubicin-induced cardiomyopathy and their paired control who did not. Among them, the upregulated Bcl-associated X protein was related to "apoptosis," while the downregulated 5'-aminolevulinate synthase 2 (ALAS2) was related to both "glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism" and "porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism" in pathway enrichment analysis. CONCLUSIONS ALAS2 and the metabolic pathways which were involved may play an important role in the development of epirubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. ALAS2 may be useful as an early biomarker for epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity detection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is the most common bone metabolic disease. Exosome exerts a crucial role in the development of multiple diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of exosome derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in osteoporosis and its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSCs were first isolated from rat bone marrow. After the surface antigen of MSCs was identified by flow cytometry, MSCs-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) was extracted. The osteogenic and lipid differentiation abilities of BMSCs were determined by alizarin red staining and oil red staining, respectively. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expressions of genes. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect the viability of hFOB 1.19 cells. Western blot was used to measure expressions of the specific surface markers in exosomes and the MAPK pathway-related proteins in hFOB 1.19 cells. Moreover, cell cycle of hFOB 1.19 was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS We observed a positive identification of surface antigens in MSCs, which presented good multidirectional differentiation ability. The isolated MSC-Exo exhibited typical morphology and particle size of exosomes, and the detection of specific surface labeled protein was positive under an electron microscope. After co-culture of MSC-Exo and osteoblast cell line hFOB 1.19, we found that MSC-Exo could promote the proliferation of hFOB 1.19 cells. Moreover, mRNA and protein expressions of GLUT3 in cells were increased, and the cell cycle was also promoted. The expressions of related proteins in the MAPK signaling pathway were found to be promoted. Rescue experiments demonstrated that MSC-Exo could promote the growth and cell cycle of hFOB 1.19, which were reversed by p-JNK knockdown. CONCLUSIONS MSC-derived exosomes improve osteoporosis by promoting the proliferation of osteoblasts via MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To perform an anatomical observation on the extension of the mesocolon to the mesorectum and the continuity of the fasciae lining the abdomen and pelvis, in order to clarify the appropriate surgical plane of total mesorectal excision. Methods: This is an descriptive study. The operation videos of 61 cases (28 males, 33 females, median age of 61) were collected. All the patients underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery from January 2018 to December 2018 in Yangpu Hospital, including low anterior resection for rectal cancer in 25 cases, left hemicolectomy for descending colon cancer in 15 cases, and subtotal resection of the colon for intractable constipation in 21 cases. Among these 21 constipation patients, 8 received additional modified Duhamel surgeries. Gross anatomy was performed on 24 adult cadavers provided by Department of Anatomy, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, including 23 formalin-fixed and 1 fresh cadaver (12 males, 12 females). Sixty-one patients and 24 cadavers had no previous abdominal or pelvic surgical history. The anatomy and extension of fasciae related to descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum, especially the morphology of Toldt fascia, and the continuities of mesocolon and mesorectum were observed carefully. The distribution characteristics of the fasciae and anatomical landmarks during laparoscopic surgery were recorded and described. Results: The anatomical study on 24 cadavers showed that visceral fascia was the densest connective tissue in the pelvic, posterolateral to the rectum, and stretched as a hammock to lift all pelvic organs. Among 61 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, 36 (59.0%) needed to free the left colon during operation, and Toldt fascia in the descending colon segment presented as potential, avascular and extensible loose connective tissue plane between the mesocolon and posterior Gerota fascia; 33 (54.1%) needed to free the rectum during operation, and Toldt fascia extended downward to pelvis as loose connective tissue between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia; the fascia propria of the rectum exposed completely in 32 (32/33, 97.0%) cases, which ran downward and fused with visceral fascia at the level of the fourth sacral vertebra. The anatomy of 24 cadavers also showed that fascia propria of the rectum fused with visceral fascia at the level of Waldeyer fascia. The fusion line of these two fasciae was supposed to be the extension of Waldeyer fascia. There were two avascular planes behind the rectum: one between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia, and the other between the visceral fascia and parietal fascia. In 8 constipation cases undergoing laparoscopic subtotal colon resection plus modified Duhamel operation, both mesocolon and mesorectum needed to be mobilized. It was obvious that the mesocolon of descending colon extended and became the mesocolon of sigmoid colon, and ran further into the pelvic and became the mesorectum. The colon fascia of descending colon served as the natural boundary of mesocolon extended downward as the fascia of sigmoid colon and the fascia propria of the rectum, respectively. Toldt fascia locating between mesocolon of descending colon and Gerota fascia extended to pelvis as the 'presacral space' between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia. Gerota fascia in descending colon segment extended as urogenital fascia in sigmoid colon segment and visceral fascia in the pelvis, respectively. In the cadaver anatomy study, the visceral fascia served as a corridor carrying the hypogastric nerve, and ureter was observed in 23 (23/24, 95.8%) cases. The visceral fascia passed from posterior to anterior lateral of rectum, fusing with Denonvilliers fascia in a fan shape. The pelvic plexus located exactly external to the junction of visceral fascia and Denonvilliers fascia. Pelvic splanchnic nerves went through the parietal fascia toward to the inferolateral of the pelvic plexus. Conclusion: Fascia propria of the rectum and the visceral pelvic fascia are two independent layers of fascia, and the TME surgical plane is between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral pelvic fascia instead of between the visceral and the parietal pelvic fascia.

Abstract
Background Cardio-oncology is a young sub-specialty that addresses the needs of cancer patients at risk of, or who have experienced cancer therapy related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). This study assessed clinicians' understanding of cardio-oncology, opinions towards current practice, and approach to diagnosing and managing CTRCD. Methods A 45-question survey was administered online via Survey Monkey and WeChat to health care providers (HCPs) comprising of cardiologists, oncologists, and others from September 2017 to March 2018. Implementation of the survey followed a modified Dillman's Total Design Method. Results In total, 160 responses were collected from 22 countries; majority were from cardiologists (53.8%) and oncologists (32.5%). The remaining 13.7% identified themselves as "others," including general internists, cardio-oncologists, pediatric oncologists, radiation oncologists, cardiac rehabilitation therapists, nurse practitioners, research students, and pharmacists. In the setting of metastatic cancer, there was a difference in risk tolerance for cardiotoxicity between subspecialties. In this case, more cardiologists (36.7%) accepted a 5-10% risk of cardiotoxicity compared to oncologists (20.0%). Majority of cardiologists felt that cardiotoxicity should be monitored, even in asymptomatic cancer patients (55.8%). Only 12% of oncologists selected this response. In contrast, 50.0% of oncologists reported that cardiologists should be involved only when patients develop cardiotoxicity. In comparison, 6.5% of cardiologists selected this response. Majority of cardiologists stated that cardio-oncology clinics would significantly improve cancer patients' prognosis (88.3%); only 45.8% of oncologists shared this opinion. Of all respondents, 66.9% stated they were familiar with a variety of international guidelines for managing cardiotoxicity. Of all oncologists, 65.3% indicated that they referred to these guidelines for clinical decision making. Conclusions Despite the growth of cardio-oncology clinics, there are significant knowledge gaps regarding prevention and treatment strategies for CTRCD among health care providers. Knowledge translation from guidelines and collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists are needed to improve cardiovascular outcomes of cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory markers such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), and lymph node metastasis in patients with cN0 gastric cancer. To establish a nomogram model to predict the risk of lymph node metastasis in patients with cN0 gastric cancer. Methods: The preoperative systemic inflammatory markers and clinical data of 134 patients with cN0 gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed, and these markers of patients with negative (pN0) or positive (pN+ ) lymph node metastasis in postoperative pathological diagnosis were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive effect of preoperative systemic inflammatory markers on lymph node metastasis. The influencing factors for lymph node metastasis were assessed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A nomogram subsequently established by R software was validated by Bootstrap resampling as internal validation. Results: Compared with pN0 group, NE (P=0.022), CRP (P<0.001), NLR (P<0.001), PLR (P=0.003) and CAR (P<0.001) were higher, LY (P=0.003) and Alb (P=0.042) were lower in pN+ group. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of postoperative pathological lymph node metastasis in patients with cN0 gastric cancer diagnosed by NLR, PLR and CAR were 0.687, 0.651 and 0.694, respectively, and the best cutoff values were 2.12, 113.59 and 0.02, respectively. The corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 62.9% and 72.2%, 77.4% and 48.6%, 74.2% and 58.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size, depth of invasion, NLR, PLR and CAR were associated with lymph node metastasis in cN0 gastric cancer patients (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that depth of invasion, NLR and CAR were independent influencing factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with cN0 gastric cancer. OR were 8.084, 3.540 and 3.092, respectively (all P<0.05). The C-index of the nomogram model was 0.847 (95% CI: 0.782-0.915). The predicting calibration curve was properly fit with the ideal curve in calibration chart. Conclusion: Combination of NLR and CAR to establish a nomogram model has a good consistency and can accurately predict the risk of lymph node metastasis in patients with cN0 gastric cancer.

Abstract
High exposure to advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) may induce cardiotoxicity. However, the effects and mechanisms remain to be further clarified. CYP4A plays an important role in the pathophysiological process of myocardial abnormalities by modulating oxidative stress and apoptosis (OS/Apop) signaling pathway. The present work aimed to investigate whether CYP4A mediates AGEs-induced myocardial injury. AGEs solution was administered intragastrically to C57BL/6 mice for 60 days, while the specific inhibitor of CYP4A, HET0016, was given from the 47th day via intraperitoneal injection for 2 weeks. Levels of OS/Apop in heart tissue were measured. The effects on the cell viability and apoptosis were detected in primary rat cardiomyocytes. To further investigate the mechanism, H9c2 cells were treated with HET0016 or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against CYP4a mRNA before incubation with AGEs. Exposure to AGEs led to significantly increased expression of CYP4A and levels of OS/Apop in heart and H9c2 cells both in vivo and in vitro. The OS/Apop pathway was activated with increased expression of NOX2, p-JNK, and cleaved caspase-3 (c-caspase-3) and decreased expression of p-Akt and Bcl-xL both in vivo and in vitro. Specific CYP4A suppression by HET0016 or siRNA exerted significant protective effects by attenuating AGEs-induced OS/Apop pathways in vitro. Our results demonstrate that specific inhibition of CYP4A might be a potential therapeutic option for myocardial injury induced by AGEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The microRNA miR-29b-3p shows important roles in regulating apoptosis and inflammation. However, its effects on intestinal ischaemia/reperfusion (II/R) injury have not been reported. Here we have investigated the functions of miR-29b-3p on II/R injury on order to find drug targets to treat the injury. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Two models - in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) of IEC-6 cells; in vivo, II/R injury in C57BL/6 mice were used. Western blotting and dual-luciferase reporter assays were used and mimic and siRNA transfection tests were applied to assess the effects of miR-29b-3p on II/R injury via targeting TNF receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3). KEY RESULTS The H/R procedure decreased cell viability and promoted inflammation and apoptosis in IEC-6 cells, and the II/R procedure also promoted intestinal inflammation and apoptosis in mice. Expression levels of miR-29b-3p were decreased in H/R-induced cells and II/R-induced intestinal tissues of mice compared with control group or sham group, which directly targeted TRAF3. Decreased miR-29b-3p level markedly increased TRAF3 expression via activating TGF-α-activated kinase 1 phosphorylation, increasing NF-κB (p65) levels to promote inflammation, up-regulating Bcl2-associated X expression, and down-regulating Bcl-2 expression to trigger apoptosis. In addition, the miR-29b-3p mimetic and TRAF3 siRNA in IEC-6 cells markedly suppressed apoptosis and inflammation to alleviate II/R injury via inhibiting TRAF3 signallimg. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The miR-29b-3p played a critical role in II/R injury, via targeting TRAF3, which should be considered as a significant drug target to treat the disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periostin is highly expressed in craniopharyngioma (CP)-associated fibroblasts and has been identified as a marker for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Half of CP patients with hypothalamic syndrome develop NAFLD. We hypothesized that periostin concentration is elevated in biological fluids of CP and associated with pathological hepatic parameters, indicating increased risk for NAFLD. METHODS A cross-sectional study on 35 patients with sellar masses (SMP) recruited in the German Childhood Craniopharyngioma Registry (32 CP, 2 xanthogranuloma, 1 pilocytic astrocytoma), three short-statured patients with isolated growth hormone deficiency, five short-statured patients with normal findings in GH-stimulating tests and decreased insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and seven healthy controls. Periostin was measured by Elisa in serum, urine and saliva. RESULTS Periostin serum, urine and saliva concentrations in CP were similar to concentrations of the other groups. Hypothalamic involvement/hypothalamic lesions, degree of obesity as well as hepatic enzymes were not associated with elevated periostin concentrations. Due to low patient numbers with pathological hepatic parameters, missing imaging data on the degree of steatosis hepatis and the lack of histological proof of NAFLD, no definitive conclusions can be drawn from measured periostin concentrations in serum. Interestingly, the subgroup of patients with decreased IGF-1 levels showed elevated concentrations of serum periostin when compared with other groups. CONCLUSIONS In CP, periostin concentrations are not associated with known risk factors for NAFLD such as hepatic and metabolic parameters, obesity and hypothalamic lesions. Accordingly, periostin does not seem to be a suitable marker for NAFLD in CP.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of arthroscopic synovectomy on refractory knee arthritis complicated with popliteal cyst. Methods: Patients diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondyloarthritis (SpA) with refractory knee arthritis who underwent knee arthroscopic synovectomy in our hospital from 2010 to 2017 were enrolled, including 20 patients (16 RA, 4 SpA) with popliteal cyst. Clinical data, RA disease activity score (DAS28), SpA back pain score, etc, were collected to evaluate the efficacy of knee surgery. Results: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [58(17, 79)mm/1h vs. 19(9, 30)mm/1h, P< 0.001],C reactive protein (CRP) [3.72(0.92,8.14) mg/L vs. 0.85(0.10,3.08) mg/L,P<0.001], rheumatoid factor [64.6(20.2,193.3) vs. 20.5(10.0,58.4),P<0.001], DAS28 score(4.67±1.25 vs. 2.81±1.23,P<0.001), knee joint discomfort score [5(4,6) vs. 2(1,3),P<0.001] and the volume of knee joint effusion by ultrasound (P<0.05) in 95 RA patients were significantly decreased compared to those before operation. ESR [27(12,54)mm/1h vs. 20 (16,28) mm/1 h,P<0.001], CRP [3.27(1.06,6.95) mg/L vs. 1.41(0.34,3.03)mg/L,P<0.001],knee discomfort score [2(0,5) vs. 1(0,3),P<0.05], back pain visual analogue score (VAS) [5(4,5) vs. 2(1,3), P<0.001], and the volume of knee joint effusion by ultrasound (P<0.001) in 58 SpA patients were significantly lower than those before the operation.The rate [16.84%(16/95) vs. 6.32%(6/95),P=0.023] and grading (P=0.007) of popliteal cyst in RA were decreased after the operation. No statistically difference was observed in the rate [6.90% (4/58) vs. 5.17%(3/58), P=0.697] of popliteal cyst in patients with SpA, yet with a trend of decrease in 4 patients. Conclusion: This study provide evidence that knee arthroscopic synovectomy has a good effect for refractory knee arthritis, which can reduce disease activity, improve joint symptoms and decrease the grading of popliteal cyst.

Abstract
As one classic anticancer drug, clinical application of Doxorubicin (Dox) is limited due to its side effects. In our previous work, we have investigated the drug targets to treat Dox-induced cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. In this paper, the mechanisms and new drug-target associated with Dox-induced hepatotoxicity were explored. The results showed that Dox markedly inhibited cell viability and cellular respiration, induced cell morphologic change and increased ROS level. Moreover, Dox increased ALT and AST levels, caused pathological damage, increased MDA level and decreased SOD level in mice. Mechanism investigation showed that Dox markedly up-regulated the expression level of miR-128-3p, down-regulated Sirt1 expression level and affected the protein levels of Nrf2, Keap1, Sirt3, NQO1 and HO-1 to cause oxidative stress in liver. Furthermore, double-luciferase reporter assay, and co-transfection test showed that miR-128-3p directly targeted Sirt1. In addition, miR-128-3p mimics in AML-12 cells enhanced Dox-induced oxidative damage via inhibiting cellular respiration, increasing ROS level and mitochondrial superoxide formation. The protein levels of Sirt1, Nrf2, Sirt3, NQO1 and HO-1 in miR-128-3p mimic + Dox group were decreased compared with Dox group. Transfection of miR-128-3p inhibitor weakened Dox-induced oxidative damage via increasing cellular respiration, suppressing cellular ROS level and mitochondrial superoxide formation. The protein levels of Sirt1, Nrf2, Sirt3, NQO1 and HO-1 in miR-128-3p inhibitor + Dox group were increased compared with Dox group. In mice, Dox-induced liver damage was deteriorated by miR-128-3p agomir via increasing the levels of ALT, AST, MDA, and down-regulating the protein levels of Sirt1, Nrf2, Sirt3, NQO1 and HO-1. While, miR-128-3p antagomir alleviated liver injury via decreasing the levels of ALT, AST, MDA, and up-regulating the protein levels of Sirt1, Nrf2, Sirt3, NQO1 and HO-1. Our data showed that miRNA-128-3p aggravated Dox-induced liver injury by promoting oxidative stress via targeting Sirt1, which should be considered as one new drug target to treat Dox-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), a subtype of fatty acid-binding protein family, shows critical roles in metabolism and inflammation. However, its roles on regulating renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) remain unclear. In this work, LPS-stimulated in vitro models on NRK-52E and NRK-49F cells, and in vivo UUO models in rats and mice were established. The results showed that comparing with control groups or sham groups, the expression levels of α-SMA, COL1A, COL3A, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in LPS-stimulated cells or UUO animals were significantly increased. Meanwhile, the levels of TC, TG, and free fatty acid were also significantly increased as well as the obvious lipid droplets, and the serum levels of BUN, Cr were significantly increased with large amounts of collagen deposition in renal tissues. Further investigation showed that compared with control groups or sham groups, the expression levels of FABP4 in LPS-stimulated cells and UUO animals were significantly increased, resulting in down- regulating the expression levels of PPARγ, upregulating the levels of p65 and ICAM-1, and decreasing the expression levels of ACADM, ACADL, SCP-2, CPT1, EHHADH, and ACOX1. To deeply explore the mechanism of FABP4 in RIF, FABP4 siRNA and inhibitor interfered cell models, and UUO model on FABP4 knockout (KO) mice were used. The results showed that the expression levels of α-SMA, COL1A, and COL3A were significantly decreased, the deposition of lipid droplets decreased, and the contents of TC, TG, and free fatty acids were significantly decreased after gene silencing. Meanwhile, the expression levels of PPAR-γ, ACADM, ACADL, SCP-2, CPT1, EHHADH, and ACOX1 were upregulated, the levels of p65 and ICAM-1 were downregulated, and the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were decreased. Our results supported that FABP4 contributed to RIF via promoting inflammation and lipid metabolism, which should be considered as one new drug target to treat RIF.

Abstract
We report the observation of electric-voltage induced insulator-metal phase transition in a ruthenate Mott insulator Ca3(Ru0.9Ti0.1)2O7. We show that the electric field effect dominates and leads to a sharp phase transition at measurement temperatures far below the Mott transition, whereas the thermal effect becomes more significant and broadens the phase transition as the measurement temperature approaches the insulator-metal transition. The electric field induced insulator-metal transition is presumably attributed to the avalanche breakdown of the correlated insulating state when driven out of equilibrium. This work highlights the strategy of using electric voltage to control the phase transition of this system in addition to other nonthermal parameters such as magnetic field and pressure reported previously.

Abstract
Our previous works have shown that dioscin, a natural product, has various pharmacological activities, however, its role in brain aging has not been reported. In the present study, in vitro H2O2-treated PC12 cells and in vivo d-galactose-induced aging rat models were used to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of dioscin on brain aging. The results showed that dioscin increased cell viability and protected PC12 cells against oxidative stress through decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. In vivo, dioscin markedly improved the spatial learning ability and memory of aging rats, reduced the protein carbonyl content and aging cell numbers, restored the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in brain tissue, and reversed the histopathological structure changes of nerve cells. Mechanism studies showed that dioscin markedly adjusted the MAPK and Nrf2/ARE signalling pathways to decrease oxidative stress. Additionally, dioscin also significantly decreased inflammation by inhibiting the mRNA or protein levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, CYP2E1 and HMGB1. Taken together, these results indicate that dioscin showed neuroprotective effect against brain aging via decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation, which should be developed as an efficient candidate in clinical to treat brain aging in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect and safety of long-acting pegylated interferon-α-2b (Peg-IFN-α-2b) (Y shape, 40 kD) injection (180 μg/week) in the treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, with standard-dose Peg-IFN-α-2a as positive control. Methods: This study was a multicenter, randomized, open-label, and positive-controlled phase III clinical trial. Eligible HBeAg-positive CHB patients were screened out and randomized to Peg-IFN-α-2b (Y shape, 40 kD) trial group and Peg-IFN-α-2a control group at a ratio of 2:1. The course of treatment was 48 weeks and the patients were followed up for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Plasma samples were collected at screening, baseline, and 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 weeks for centralized detection. COBAS® Ampliprep/COBAS® TaqMan® HBV Test was used to measure HBV DNA level by quantitative real-time PCR. Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay with Elecsys kit was used to measure HBV markers (HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe). Adverse events were recorded in detail. The primary outcome measure was HBeAg seroconversion rate after the 24-week follow-up, and non-inferiority was also tested. The difference in HBeAg seroconversion rate after treatment between the trial group and the control group and two-sided confidence interval (CI) were calculated, and non-inferiority was demonstrated if the lower limit of 95% CI was > -10%. The t-test, chi-square test, or rank sum test was used according to the types and features of data. Results: A total of 855 HBeAg-positive CHB patients were enrolled and 820 of them received treatment (538 in the trial group and 282 in the control group). The data of the full analysis set showed that HBeAg seroconversion rate at week 72 was 27.32% in the trial group and 22.70% in the control group with a rate difference of 4.63% (95% CI -1.54% to 10.80%, P = 0.1493). The data of the per-protocol set showed that HBeAg seroconversion rate at week 72 was 30.75% in the trial group and 27.14% in the control group with a rate difference of 3.61% (95% CI -3.87% to 11.09%, P = 0.3436). 95% CI met the non-inferiority criteria, and the trial group was non-inferior to the control group. The two groups had similar incidence rates of adverse events, serious adverse events, and common adverse events. Conclusion: In Peg-IFN-α regimen for HBeAg-positive CHB patients, the new drug Peg-IFN-α-2b (Y shape, 40 kD) has comparable effect and safety to the control drug Peg-IFN-α-2a.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS), a progressive disorder, is one of the tough challenges in the clinic. Scutellarin, an extract from Herba Erigerontis, is found to have oxygen-free radicals scavenging effects and antioxidant effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-AS effects of scutellarin is related to controlling the Hippo-FOXO3A and PI3K/AKT signal pathway. To establish an AS model, the rats in the scutellarin and model groups were intraperitoneally injected with vitamin D 3 and then fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. In addition, in vitro angiotensin II-induced apoptosis of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were used to establish models. Scutellarin significantly reduced blood lipid levels and increased antioxidase levels in both models. Additionally, scutellarin inhibited reactive oxygen species generation and apoptosis in HAECs. The impaired vascular barrier function was restored by using scutellarin in AS rats and in HAECs cells characterized by inhibiting mammalian sterile-20-like kinases 1 (Mst1) phosphorylation, Yes-associated protein (YAP) phosphorylation, forkhead box O3A (FOXO3A) phosphorylation at serine 207, nuclear translocation of FOXO3A, and upregulating protein expression of AKT and FOXO3A phosphorylation at serine 253. Scutellarin significantly reduced Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim), caspase-3, APO-1, CD95 (Fas), and Bax: Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) levels and activated Bcl-2: B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2). Scutellarin also significantly inhibited the expression of Mst1, YAP, FOXO3A at the messenger RNA level. When Mst1 was overexpressed or phosphoinositide 3-kinases suppressed, the effects of scutellarin were significantly blocked. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that scutellarin exerts protective effects against AS by inhibiting endothelial cell injury and apoptosis by regulating the Hippo-FOXO3A and PI3K/AKT signal pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dioscin shows potent effects against cancers. We aimed to elucidate its pharmacological effects and mechanisms of action on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vivo and in vitro. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Effects of dioscin were investigated in SMMC7721 and HepG2 cells, diethylnitrosamine-induced primary liver cancer in rats, and cell xenografts in nude mice. Isobaric tags for relative and absolution quantitation (iTRAQ)-based proteomics was used to find dioscin's targets and investigate its mechanism. KEY RESULTS In SMMC7721 and HepG2 cells dioscin markedly inhibited cell proliferation and migration, induced apoptosis, autophagy, and DNA damage. It inhibited DEN-induced primary liver cancer in rats, markedly changed body weights and restored levels of α fetoprotein, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, γ-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and Ki67. It also inhibited growth of xenografts in mice. In SMMC7721 cells, 191 differentially expressed proteins were found after dioscin, based on iTRAQ-based assay. TP53-inducible glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) was identified as being significantly down-regulated by dioscin. Dioscin induced cell apoptosis, autophagy, and DNA damage via increasing expression levels of p53, cleaved PARP, Bax, cleaved caspase-3/9, Beclin-1, and LC3 and suppressing those of Bcl-2, p-Akt, p-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), CDK5, p-ataxia telangiectasia-mutated gene (ATM). The transfection of TIGAR siRNA into SMMC7721 cells and xenografts in nude mice further confirmed that the potent activity of dioscin against HCC is evoked by adjusting TIGAR-mediated inhibition of p53, Akt/mTOR, and CDK5/ATM pathways. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The data suggest that dioscin has potential as a therapeutic, and TIGAR as a drug target for treating HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The colon plays a vital role in the disposal of nitrogenous waste products. Therefore, the colon may provide a therapeutic target for managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). AIM To evaluate the efficacy of a simplified model of colonic dialysis with hemodialysis solutions (SCD) to delay the progression of stages 3-5 CKD. DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 178 stages 3-5 CKD patients who did or did not receive SCD (SCD group, n = 88; control group, n = 90). The follow-up was 36 months. The outcome of CKD progression was defined as a decrease in 50% or more in estimated glomerular filtration rate, starting hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis or undergoing transplantation. The Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare CKD progression between SCD and control groups as well as between subgroups at different CKD stages. Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for patients' characteristics were used to examine the association between SCD and the outcome. RESULTS For all patients, the outcome was significantly better in SCD group compared to control group (P < 0.05). The results were similar in the subgroups of patients at stage 4 (P = 0.001) and stage 5 (P = 0.000), but not in the subgroup of patients at stage 3 (P = 0.121). For all patients, SCD was associated with a lower risk of CKD progression after adjusted for patients' characteristics (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.373; 95% confidence interval, 0.201-0.694; P 0.002). CONCLUSION SCD is an effective supplementary therapy to delay the progression of stages 4-5 CKD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Neurofibromin is a key tumor suppressor, well-known as a GTPase-Activating-Protein (GAP) to attenuate Ras signaling. It is encoded by the NF1gene, so named because its inactivation was first discovered to cause Neurofibromatosis type 1, an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. We have recently reported thatnonsense (NS) and frameshift (FS) mutations, but not missense mutations, in NF1are associated with a markedly higher risk of relapse and death in early stage ER+breast cancer after adjuvant tamoxifen monotherapy (Griffith et al. in press). Surprisingly, despite being best known as a GAP, no missense mutations inactivating NF1's GAP activity were found in our cohort. We have evidence that these NF1NS/FS mutations cause the resulting mRNAs to be degraded, leading to depletion of the entire NF1 protein. In a separate study that was presented here last year, we showed that NF1 is also an ER co-repressor, which partially explains why the loss of the single tumor suppressor NF1 is so detrimental — because this turns on two potent oncogenic pathways. Thus far there is no effective means to assess loss of NF1 protein in cancer. The objective of this project is to identify these aggressive NF1-negative breast cancers by establishing an immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocol with a valid NF1 antibody in order to properly find and treat them in the future.
Methods:A monoclonal antibody was raised against the C-terminus of NF1. Immunostaining as well as IHC was performed using a set of breast cancer cell lines with varying degrees of NF1 protein levels, including several NF1 null-like cell lines as negative controls. To assess whether the IHC protocol can be used on patients, NF1+and NF1–PDXs as well as patient biopsies were examined.
Results: We have purified a monoclonal antibody against NF1 (m376). By immunostaining, a strong NF1 signal can be seen in T47D cells, which have four copies of the NF1gene. In contrast, there was barely any signal in MDA-MB-175VII cells, which lack detectable NF1 due to NF1FS mutations. While NF1 appears mostly cytoplasmic, 10-15% can be seen in the nucleus. Nuclear NF1 levels can be further increased by the nuclear export blocker leptomycin-B, suggesting that NF1 is shuttled in and out of the nucleus. IHC staining confirmed these features of NF1. In addition, a weak nuclear signal can be seen in cancer cells carrying NF1FS mutations. Experiments are on-going to assess how to analyze tumor samples for NF1 loss and whether NF1FS mutations cause expression of truncated proteins that are nuclear.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that the m376 antibody has the potential to be used for IHC, provided that samples known to be NF1+or NF1–are included as controls. The success of this project will have particular clinical impact in telling us who should notbe treated by tamoxifen. Furthermore, we have an approved clinical trial protocol to assess the concept that these NF1–patients should instead be treated by combining a Ras pathway inhibitor and a SERD.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical manifestations and gene variations of combined immunodeficiency caused by ORAI1 variation with a case report and literature review. Methods: The clinical data of the patient who was diagnosed with ORAI1 variation caused combined immunodeficiency in the Department of Pediatrics in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in February 2018 were extracted and analyzed. The literature till August 2018 was searched with key words of 'ORAI1', and 'immunodeficiency' in both English and Chinese in the database of China national knowledge infrast ructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Pubmed. Results: The patient was a 15 months old girl with acute onset of bilateral ptosis after upper respiratory tract infection, which was rapidly progressed to systemic myasthenia and accompanied with recurrent respiratory tract infection during the treatment. The patient poorly to responded immunomodulatory therapy and anti-infection therapy. Laboratory tests demonstrated decreased complement C3 and NK cell (CD3(-)CD56(+)), increased anti-thyroglobulin, thyroid peroxidase antibody and B lymphocyte (CD3(-)CD19(+)), and slightly increased anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody. Genetic analysis showed the homozygous variation of ORAI1 gene exon l c.12 G>T (p.E4D), with heterozygostty of both parents. There were only 4 papers reporting this disease in the literature review. A total of 7 patients with ORAI1 gene variation were reported, including 3 homozygous variations, 2 heterozygous variations and 2 complex heterozygous variations. The clinical manifestations included early onset recurrent infection, congenital hypotonia, elevated serum IgA and IgM, decreased NK cells, and family history of hereditary diseases. Four of the 7 reported cases died of pulmonary infection and sepsis, and the other 3 survived with low muscular tone and poor self-care ability. Conclusions: The most common clinical manifestations of ORAI1 variation caused combined immunodeficiency are recurrent infection and congenital hypotonia. Myasthenia induced recurrent respiratory tract infection is an important factor of poor prognosis in severe patients. There is a lack of effective treatment for this disease, and the prognosis is poor.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) is a process in which calcium phosphate crystals deposit within the intima and middle membrane of the vascular wall. Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a common phenolic compound. It possesses antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effects. Our experiment aims to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of RA in VC. Rats were fed high-fat feed and injected with vitamin D3 to establish a VC model. β-Glyerophosphate (β GP) was selected to stimulate rat aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in order to establish the cell calcification model. Kits were used to detect the antioxidant index and calcification index. RA significantly reduced the levels of ALP, MDA, Ca, and P but increased SOD levels. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis were used to detect various antioxidant-related genes and calcified genes on an mRNA and protein level. The results showed that nuclear factor red cell-2 related factors (Nrf2), haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase (NQO1), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were up regulated by RA at both the mRNA and protein levels, but kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB), cadherin associated protein (β-catenin) and osteogenic transcription factor (Runx2) expression at both the mRNA and protein levels was significantly inhibited. Microscopic examination showed that RA significantly decreased the content of calcified nodules and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). When Nrf2 is disturbed, the role of RA is significantly blocked. Our results showed that RA can improve VC by regulating the Nrf2 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryopreservation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has widely been used in stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy treating various human diseases. However, the current conventional cooling approach for the cryopreservation of HSCs has the following potential problems: (1) requirement of a very expensive computer-programmed liquid nitrogen freezer (LNF) for the cooling rate control, (2) a large consumption of liquid nitrogen, (3) periodic breakdown of the LNF due to the mechanical failure of the liquid nitrogen valves (i.e., magnetic-solenoid valves) inside the LNF, and (4) constant monitoring of the LNF operation during the HSCs cooling process. OBJECTIVE To test and evaluate a simple and reliable approach for the cryopreservation of HSCs using the passive cooling technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS A passive cooling-rate-controlled device (PCD) was developed and used to cryopreserve HSCs. The PCD is inexpensive, simple, and user-friendly, which needs only the minimum maintenance and no consumption of liquid nitrogen. The PCD was compared to the LNF for the cryopreservation of HSCs in the present study through experiments. The cell viability and functionality were evaluated after cryopreservation. RESULTS In comparison with the LNF method, the PCD approach enabled high cell viability/survival, recovery rate, and functionality after cryopreservation processes. CONCLUSION The PCD offers a cost-effective, simple, and reliable approach for the optimal cryopreservation of HSCs.
