Abstract
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are atypical photoreceptors that are different from classical cone and rod cells. The primary role of ipRGCs is to signal light for largely subconscious, non-image vision such as photoentrainment of circadian rhythm and pupillary light reflex. Recent researches have revealed additional roles for ipRGCs in communication with synapses around, conscious vision reception and pathogenesis of some diseases. Here we review the research advances of morphology, functions and clinical applications of ipRGCs. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56: 308-312).

Abstract
The topological magnetoelectric effect is associated with the photonic spin-orbit interaction. However, due to the proportionate fine structure constant of the topological term, the topological magnetoelectric effect is usually weak. In this paper, we demonstrate that the axion term enables manipulation of the spin Hall shift of light around Fano resonance. And, the excited surface plasmon near the nanoparticle's interface could enhance the topological magnetoelectric effect for several orders. Numerical simulation of near field and far-field scattering confirms our theoretical results. Our work may pave the way to exploit the topological magnetoelectric effect in practical applications, such as optical sensing and nanoprobing.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Maternal hypertension is a common and serious condition associated with increased maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality, with early detection and management improving outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Blood pressure (BP) changes of pre-eclampsia are defined after 20 gestational weeks, while haemodynamic changes can be detected at 5-11 weeks using a specialised non-invasive Doppler stroke volume (SV) monitor. Thus, advanced haemodynamic monitoring allows for physiologically precise identification of circulatory abnormalities, and implementation of appropriate therapy within the first trimester. We measured the oscillometric BP and advanced haemodynamics (USCOM 1A) of 3 unselected women with singleton pregnancies, consecutively listed for therapeutic induction for maternal hypertension at 32-41 weeks gestational age. While the BP's of the patients varied, it was the haemodynamics, particularly SV, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, Smith Madigan Inotropy Index, and oxygen deliver, that identified differing patterns of circulatory dysfunction, therapeutic objectives, and predicted post-partum complications of the mother and child. First trimester screening of maternal haemodynamics may allow for earlier detection of circulatory derangements, selection of patient precise interventions, and improved maternal-foetal outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of the study was systematically summarized the current status of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) screening guidelines, and evaluated the HCC screening guidelines according to the authoritative framework of cancer screening guidelines of authoritative institutions, which provided important value for the formulation of HCC screening evidence-based guidelines. Methods: Literature search was conducted in multiple databases from their inception dates to January 3, 2019. In addition, we sought relevant websites further was searched to identify potentially eligible studies. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data. Qualitative description of the basic information, recommendations of HCC screening, source of evidence and update progress of the HCC screening guidelines was conducted. Results: At present, there were no independent HCC screening guidelines worldwide. There were only 17 clinical practice HCC guidelines briefly provided the recommendation of HCC screening. Current HCC screening guidelines only recommended screening for high-risk groups of HCC. All guidelines have identified patients with chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C and cirrhosis as high-risk groups for HCC. Most of guidelines recommended screening intervals was 6 months. The latest guidelines in Europe and the United States recommended ultrasound for screening HCC. The combination of ultrasound and AFP was recommended in the Asian guidelines. Currently, HCC screening guidelines mainly recommended screening strategies based on factors such as risk of HCC, accuracy of screening modality, screening cost, etc.. The key factors such as screening efficacy and safety have not yet been considered comprehensively. Conclusions: There were no independent HCC screening guidelines worldwide. Only some clinical practice HCC guidelines briefly mentioned HCC screening. Currently, the guidelines only recommend screening for high-risk groups of HCC, with a screening interval of 6 months. There are differences in screening modalities recommended by European, American and Asian guidelines for screening HCC. It is suggested that the relevant institutions should formulate the evidence-based HCC screening guidelines by referring to the theoretical framework of other authoritative other cancer screening guidelines.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has been emerged as a major breakthrough in tumor immunotherapy, but its unique mechanism of action has also led to a number of immune-related adverse events (irAE). Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the rarest irAEs. This paper reports a case of advanced malignant liver tumor-induced T1DM who received second-line anti-PD-1 therapy and showed initial symptoms of hyperosmolar coma and hyperglycemia. In addition, the relevant literature at home and abroad was collected and reviewed, and the clinical characteristics of T1DM induced by anti-PD-1 therapy were summarized with a view to achieve early detection, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
We theoretically study the optical bistability and tristability in plasmonic coated nanospheres containing the nonlinear plasmonic shell and the dielectric core with radial anisotropy. Based on self-consistent mean-field approximation, we establish the relationship between the local field in the shell and the applied incident field, taking into account the Lorentz local field. One or two optical bistabilities and even optical tristability can be observed. Especially, there are two critical geometric parameters between which two optical bistabilities exist. Physically, two optical bistablities result from the excitations of two surface plasmonic resonant modes in the inner and outer interfaces of coated nanospheres, which are well reflected from the spectral representation with two poles. Moreover, the involvement of the radial anisotropy is quite essential to realize the optical tristability. Further discussion on the field-induced tuning of the reflectance reveals the macroscopic properties of this nonlinear optical structure, which provides a potential candidate for designing multi-stable optical devices at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Background:In patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), both minor and major salivary glands are targets of the disease. Infiltration of salivary glands by immune cells is characteristic for pSS. However, significant inter- and intra-individual variation exists in the size and composition of the infiltrates. Potential differences between minor and major salivary glands in immune cell presence and inflammatory pathway activation are unclear. This knowledge is essential for clinical trial design and precision therapy.Objectives:To compare the transcriptome of paired labial and parotid salivary gland tissue of patients with pSS and non-SS sicca controls.Methods:Thirty-nine pSS patients and 20 age- and sex-matched non-SS sicca controls, who participated in a prospective diagnostic cohort[1], were included. All pSS patients fulfilled 2016 ACR-EULAR criteria. RNA was isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded labial and parotid gland tissue sections from the same individuals. Complementary DNA libraries were prepared and sequenced. Biopsies with evidence of sclerosing chronic sialoadenitis or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma were excluded in the current analysis. For differential gene expression analysis, patients were subdivided in four categories: I) non-SS sicca without lymphocytic infiltration, II) non-SS sicca with aspecific infiltration, III) pSS with negative biopsy (focus score<1), IV) pSS with positive biopsy (focus score≥1). For each differentially expressed gene (DEG), a false detection rate (FDR) was calculated. FDR<0.05 was considered significant.Results:Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that only pSS patients with a positive biopsy (group IV) could be separated from the non-SS sicca patients based on gene expression. When comparing the labial and parotid gland transcriptome, resp. 798 and 1461 DEGs (FDR-adjusted p-value<0.05, log2 fold change >1) were identified between groups I and IV. The top differentially regulated genes were mostly related to T and B cells.CXCL13, CCR6, MS4A1(CD20), FCRL4andDAZLwere among the genes with the highest positive fold change in both glands of biopsy-positive pSS patients. Overall, there was a moderate to strong correlation between fold changes in labial and parotid glands (R2=0.58, p-value<0.0001). Between biopsy-negative and biopsy-positive pSS (groups III and IV), 226 and 962 DEGs were identified for labial and parotid gland tissue, respectively. Interestingly, we could not identify DEGs between biopsy-negative pSS (group III) and non-SS sicca patients (group I).Conclusion:The transcriptome of labial and parotid gland tissue from pSS patients with a positive biopsy is overall comparable, while salivary gland tissue from biopsy-negative pSS patients shows a comparable gene expression profile to non-SS sicca controls. These results indicate that different treatment strategies may be necessary for biopsy-negative and biopsy-positive pSS patients.References:[1]van Nimwegen JF,et al.Validation of the ACR-EULAR criteria for primary Sjögren’s syndrome in a Dutch prospective diagnostic cohort.Rheumatology (Oxford) 2018;57:818–25.Disclosure of Interests:Gwenny M.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Daytime napping is common in elderly adults and has been associated with cognitive impairment. Prior studies have assessed napping at one time point, making it difficult to examine the longitudinal progression of napping and its association with cognitive aging. We examined objectively measured daytime napping longitudinally across different stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD): from no cognitive impairment (NCI), to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and to Alzheimer’s dementia.
Methods
We studied 1,066 participants (female: 810; age: 81.0±7.3 [SD]) in the Rush Memory and Aging Project who have been followed for up to 13 years. Motor activities of up to 10 days were recorded annually and used to assess napping objectively. We defined daytime napping episodes as segments between 10AM and 7PM with continuous zero-activity for ≥10min but <1h (to avoid off-wrist periods). Segments that were <5min apart were merged. Cognitive and clinical evaluations were administered annually to render a clinical diagnostic classification of NCI, MCI, or Alzheimer’s dementia. To examine how napping duration and frequency change with the progression of AD, we performed linear mixed-effects models with 2 change points anchored at the diagnoses of MCI and AD while adjusted for age, sex, and education.
Results
At baseline, participants had 1.44±0.04 (mean±standard error) naps with an accumulated duration of 35.0±1.1 min per day. Napping duration increased by 5.2±0.3 min and frequency increased by 0.21±0.01 times every year (both p<0.0001). The rate of increase was more than doubled after MCI diagnosis with an annual increase of 11.4±0.7 min in duration and 0.40±0.02 times in frequency (both p<0.0001); these were doubled further after AD diagnosis with an annual change of 26.3±3.1 min in duration and 0.84±0.08 times in frequency (both p<0.0001).
Conclusion
Daytime napping duration and frequency increase with aging, and the increase was accelerated with AD progression.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Delirium is an acute decline in attention and cognition that is with associated long-term cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients. Accumulating evidence points to strong associations between sleep health and disorders of the brain. We tested whether baseline sleep duration, chronotype, daytime dozing, insomnia or sleep apnea predict incident delirium during hospitalization.
Methods
We studied participants from the UK Biobank who have been followed for up to 10 years until 2017. We included 173,221 participants (mean age 60±5; range 50-71 at baseline) who had at least one episode of hospitalization/surgery and were free from prior episodes of delirium. Delirium diagnosis, hospitalization and surgical events were derived using ICD-10 coding. Multivariate logistic regression models were performed to examine the associations of self-reported baseline sleep duration (<6hrs/6-9h/>9h), daytime dozing (often/rarely), insomnia (often/rarely) and presence of sleep apnea (ICD-10 and self-report) with incident delirium during follow-up. Models were adjusted for demographics, education, Townsend deprivation index, and major confounders (number of hospitalizations/surgical procedures, BMI, diabetes, major cardiovascular diseases and risk factors, major neurological diseases, major respiratory diseases, cancer, alcohol, depression/anxiety, sedatives/sleep aides, antipsychotics, steroids and opioids).
Results
In total, 1,023 (5.7 per 1,000 subjects) developed delirium. A prior diagnosis of sleep apnea (n=1,294) saw almost a two-fold increased odds (OR 1.96, 95% CI: 1.30-2.30 p=0.001) while those who often had daytime dozing were also at increased risk (OR 1.35, 95% CI: 1.02-1.80, p=0.025). Both these effects were independent of each other. No independent effects on incident delirium were observed from sleep duration, insomnia, or chronotype.
Conclusion
Certain sleep disturbances, in particular sleep apnea and daytime dozing, are independently associated with an increased risk for developing delirium. Further work is warranted to examine underlying mechanisms and to test whether optimizing sleep health can reduce the risk of developing delirium.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Excessive napping duration has been associated with cognitive decline. The effect of napping frequency is less understood, and little is known about the development of Alzheimer’s dementia associated with napping. We tested whether longer or more frequent naps in the elderly are linked to the development of incident Alzheimer’s dementia.
Methods
We studied 1,180 older adults (age: 81.0±7.3 [SD]) in the Rush Memory and Aging Project who have been followed for up to 14 years. Motor activities of up to 10 days were recorded at baseline to assess napping characteristics objectively. We defined daytime napping episodes as motor activity segments between 10AM and 7PM with continuous zero-activity for ≥10min but <1h (to avoid off-wrist periods). Segments that were <5min apart were merged. Alzheimer’s dementia diagnosis was determined using the criteria of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Strone and the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to examine the associations of daily napping duration and frequency with incident AD.
Results
Of 1,180 non-demented participants at baseline (including 264 with mild cognitive impairment), 277 developed Alzheimer’s dementia within 5.74±3.36 years. On average, participants napped for 38.3±1.0 (SE) min and1.56±0.04 (SE) times per day at baseline. After adjustment for age, sex, and education, every 30-min increase in daily napping duration was associated with a 20% increase in the risk of incident AD (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9%-31%; p=0.0002). One more nap per day was associated with a 19% increase in the risk of AD (95% CI: 8%-30%; p=0.0003). These associations remained after further adjustment for total sleep time.
Conclusion
Longer and more frequent daytime naps predict a higher risk of incident Alzheimer’s dementia. Future studies are needed to examine specific underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
In the current epidemic of opioid-related deaths, and widespread use of opioids to treat chronic pain, there is a pressing need to understand the underlying risk factors that contribute to such devastating conditions. Shiftwork has been associated with adverse health outcomes. We tested whether shiftwork during middle age is linked to the development of chronic pain and opioid misuse.
Methods
We studied 116,474 participants in active employment between 2006–2010 (mean age 57±8; range 37–71) from the UK Biobank, who have been followed for up to 10 years until 2017. We included participants who were free from all forms of self-reported pain, and were not taking opioid medications at baseline. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder diagnoses were determined using hospitalization records and diagnostic coding from ICD-10. Multivariate logistic regression models were performed to examine the associations of shiftwork status (yes/no) and nightshift frequency (none/occasional/permanent) and with incident chronic pain and/or opioid use disorder during follow-up. Models were adjusted for demographics, education, Townsend deprivation index, major confounders (BMI, diabetes, bone fractures/injuries, operations, peripheral vascular disease, joint/inflammatory diseases, cancer, standing/manual labor at work) and covariates (smoking, alcohol, high cholesterol, depression/anxiety, and cardiovascular diseases).
Results
In total, 190 (1.6/1,000) developed chronic pain or opioid use disorders. Shiftworkers (n=17,673) saw a 1.5-fold increased risk (OR 1.56, 95% CI: 1.08–2.24, p=0.01) relative to day workers. Within shiftworkers, those who reported occasional nightshift work (n=3,966) were most vulnerable (OR 1.57, 95% CI: 1.06–2.34, p=0.02). Results remained similar after adjusting for baseline sleep duration, chronotype and insomnia.
Conclusion
Shiftwork, and in particular rotating nightshift work is associated with increased risk for developing chronic pain and opioid use disorders. Replication is required to confirm the findings and to examine underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Objective: To explore and analyze the possible mechanism of liver injury in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (novel coronavirus pneumonia, NCP). Methods: The correlation between ALT, AST and other liver enzyme changes condition and NCP patients' disease status reported in the literature was comprehensively analyzed. ACE2 expression in liver tissue for novel coronavirus was analyzed based on single cell sequencing (GSE115469) data. RNA-Seq method was used to analyze Ace2 expression and transcription factors related to its expression in liver tissues at various time-points after hepatectomy in mouse model of acute liver injury with partial hepatectomy. t-test or Spearman rank correlation analysis was used for statistical analysis. Results: ALT and AST were abnormally elevated in some patients with novel coronavirus infection, and the rate and extent of ALT and AST elevation in severe NCP patients were higher than those in non-severe patients. Liver tissue results of single cell sequencing and immunohistochemistry showed that ACE2 was only expressed in bile duct epithelial cells of normal liver tissues, and very low in hepatocytes. In a mouse model of acute liver injury with partial hepatectomy, Ace2 expression was down-regulated on the first day, but it was elevated up to twice of the normal level on the third day, and returned to normal level on seventh day when the liver recovered and hepatocyte proliferation stopped. Whether this phenomenon suggests that the bile duct epithelial cells with positive expression of Ace2 participate in the process of liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy deserves further study. In RNA-Seq data, 77 transcription factors were positively correlated with the expression of Ace2 (r > 0.2, FDR < 0.05), which were mainly enriched in the development, differentiation, morphogenesis and cell proliferation of glandular epithelial cells. Conclusion: We assumed that in addition to the over activated inflammatory response in patients with NCP, the up-regulation of ACE2 expression in liver tissue caused by compensatory proliferation of hepatocytes derived from bile duct epithelial cells may also be the possible mechanism of liver tissue injury caused by 2019 novel coronavirus infection.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of a cluster of COVID-19 cases reported in Baodi district of Tianjin as of 18 February, 2020, which might be associated with the exposure in a local department store, and provide suggestions for prevention and control strategy development. Methods: The basic characteristics, time and area distributions, clinical manifestations, epidemiological history and transmission mode of the COVID-19 cases associated with the department store exposure were analyzed. Results: A total of 40 COVID-19 cases were associated with the department store exposure, accounting for 75.47% of the total confirmed cases (53 cases) reported in Baodi district. The cases were mainly at the age of 60 years or older (35.00%) and farmers (40.00%). The main clinical manifestations included fever (95.00%), cough (35.00%), and diarrhea (15.00%). The proportion of confirmed severe cases was 32.50%. The incidence curve showed that the incidence peak occurred on 31 January, 2020. Among the 40 cases, 6(15.00%) were department store employees, 19 (47.50%) were customers and 15 (37.50%) were close contacts (secondary cases). The first case occurred on 21 January, 2020, this case was a department store employee who had a purchasing history at whole sale markets in other provinces and cities before the onset, and 3 employees were still on duty after symptom onsets. The median of the incubation period of customer cases was 6 days, and the median of the interval between onset and medical treatment of customer cases was 7 days. Conclusion: This was a cluster epidemic of COVID-19, which might be associated with the exposure in the department store. By now, the current prevention and control measures have achieved satisfied effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of molecular diagnostics for the detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in Chinese patients.METHOD: Seven databases were searched for eligible studies that evaluated the accuracy of molecular diagnostics against drug susceptibility testing (DST) for detecting drug resistance. A bivariate random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to pool sensitivity and specificity by the index test and drug resistance type.RESULTS: A total of 159 studies were included. Compared with DST (reference standard), Xpert® could diagnose rifampicin (RMP) resistant TB accurately, with a pooled sensitivity and pooled specificity of 92% (95%CI 90-94) and 98% (95%CI 97-98), respectively. Line-probe assays (LPAs) also performed well for RMP resistance, with a pooled sensitivity of 91% (95%CI 88-93) and pooled specificity of 98% (95%CI 96-99), but not for isoniazid (INH) or second-line drugs due to lower sensitivity (<80%). The pooled sensitivity of GeneChip® microarrays for RMP, INH and multidrug resistance was 89% (95%CI 86-91), 79% (95%CI 75-82) and 79% (95%CI 73-84), respectively, and the specificities were all >97%. Similarly, the MeltPro® TB/STR assay had better sensitivity and specificity for first-line drugs, varying from 87% to 89% and 97% to 98%, respectively, than for second-line drugs.CONCLUSION: The Xpert assay, LPA, GeneChip assay, and MeltPro assay are credible methods with high accuracy for RMP resistance detection, but they may not be appropriate for other anti-tuberculosis drugs due to low sensitivity.

Abstract
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) testing and treatment in high risk populations is an important tool for tuberculosis control. In China, tuberculin skin test (TST) has been recommended as a primary testing method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection in new students and close contacts in schools, which laid a solid foundation for the early case finding and management. However, Due to the influence of multiple factors including BCG vaccination and nontuberculous mycobacteria infection, TST showed limitations in specificity for MTB infection detection. Guidelines issued by other countries showed that using the two-step approach (TST-IGRA) has advantages in improving diagnostic accuracy as compared with using TST alone. From the perspective of precise intervention, two-step approach for MTB infection testing might be a favorable choice for tuberculosis control in schools in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the biologic viability and boundary range of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) by the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and acoustic radiation force impulse elastography (ARFI). METHODS Totally 27 HAE patients confirmed by pathology underwent CEUS and ARFI examinations. RESULTS Gray scale sonography of HAE showed unclear boundary, inhomogeneous, and middle hyperechoic nodules, and the maximum area was (6.08 ± 4.47) cm2 in 27 lesions. CEUS of HAE showed non-enhancement in three phases and black hole sign. Circumferential enhancement on the pe riphery of the lesion was synchronized with the liver parenchyma and showed "fast in and slow out". The maximum area was (8.87 ± 4.83) cm2. The area of ECUS was larger than gray scale sonography in HAE (t = 2.20, P = 0.03). The mean shear wave velocities (SWVs) of the interior, the boundary range, and the surrounding liver tissues of HAE were statistically different by ARFI (F = 84.538, P < 0.001), and the interior had the highest values. CONCLUSIONS CEUS and ARFI examinations can detect the biologic viability and boundary range of migrating zone around HAE, which is valuable for guiding treatment, judging curative effect, and predicting prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Methods: Patients who were diagnosed CTEPH in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from Feb 2018 to Sep 2019 were evaluated. The ineligibility for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) and the indication for BPA were decided on the basis of a consensus among the multidisciplinary team for all CTEPH patients. 6-min walk distance (6MWD), the plasma level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), mixed venous oxygen saturation, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), cardiac index (CI) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were collected and analyzed before the first and the last BPA session. Results: A total of 67 BPA sessions were performed for 302 subsegmental pulmonary arteries in 25 inoperable CTEPH patients. 10 males (40.0%) and 15 females (60.0%), with the age of (57.8±7.1) years old. The median interval between CTEPH diagnosis and first BPA was 20.0 (9.0, 48.5) months. 18 patients were received more than 2 BPA sessions, the median follow-up time was 5.0 (3.5, 8.3) months. 6MWD, CI and the mixed venous oxygen saturation were significant improved after BPA [(425±74) vs (345±109) m, (1.99±0.45) vs (1.62±0.35) L·min(-1)·m(-2), (68.1%±6.5%) vs (61.2%±6.3%)](all P<0.05). The plasma level of NT-proBNP, mPAP and PVR were significantly decreased after BPA [259 (93, 739) vs 806 (148, 2 159) ng/L, (40.6±8.3) vs (47.3±10.7) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (11.9±4.9) vs (17.2±6.5) WU (1 WU=80 dyn·s·cm(-5))](all P<0.05). Hemoptysis occurred in 5 sessions (7.5%) and reperfusion pulmonary edema (RPE) occurred in 2 sessions (1.5%), 1 patient needed non-invasive mechanical ventilation because of RPE, 1 patient died from right heart failure caused by hemoptysis during perioperative period. Conclusions: BPA can significantly improve the exercise tolerance and hemodynamic parameters for inoperable CTEPH patients, the risks of BPA are acceptable. BPA is an effective and relatively safe treatment for inoperable CTEPH patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Using QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) for monitoring tuberculosis (TB) and latent TB infection treatment effect is controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the dynamic changes of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) levels along with latent TB infection treatment via a randomized controlled study. METHODS A total of 910 participants treated with 8 weeks of once-weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid (group A), 890 treated with 6 weeks of twice-weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid (group B) and 818 untreated controls (group C) were followed for 2 years to track active TB development. QFT-GIT tests were repeated three times for all groups: before treatment (T0), at completion of treatment (T1) and 3 months after completion of treatment (T2). RESULTS Similar rates of persistent QFT-GIT reversion were observed in groups A (19.0%, 173/910), B (18.5%, 165/890) and C (20.7%, 169/818) (p 0.512). The dynamic changes of IFN-γ levels were not statistically significant among the three groups. In treated participants, individuals with higher baseline IFN-γ levels showed increased TB occurrence (1.0%, 9/896) compared to those with lower baseline levels (0.2%, 2/904) (p 0.037). A similar but statistically insignificant trend was also observed in untreated controls (1.8% (7/400) vs. 0.5% (2/418), p 0.100). When TB cases were matched with non-TB cases on baseline IFN-γ levels, no significant differences were found with respect to the dynamic changes in IFN-γ levels with time, regardless of whether they received treatment. CONCLUSIONS QFT-GIT reversion or decreased IFN-γ levels should not be used for monitoring host response to latent TB infection treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To establish the key question list for the development of evidence- based guideline in China according to the content and limitation of current evidence-based guidelines around the world. Methods: First, we introduced the evidence-based guidelines in detail which met the criteria based on World Health Organization guideline development handbook and then formulated the draft list of key questions for the development of evidence-based guidelines. At last, the Delphi method was used to determine the list of key questions in developing evidence-based guidelines of colorectal cancer screening. Results: Totally, 34 questionnaires were collected, with experts from clinical and epidemiological fields. The average experts' authority coefficient was 0.81, indicating a high degree of authority. The concentration of opinions on all items in the questionnaire was relatively high, with the full score ratio greater than 75% and the coefficient of variation less than 0.3. The list of key questions on evidence-based guidelines for colorectal cancer screening has been divided into six parts: epidemiological problems, risk classification, screening age, screening tools, implementation and selection of steering group members, which covers the issues that need to be considered in the development of evidence-based colorectal cancer screening guidelines in China. Conclusion: The key question list for evidence-based guideline development in our study can be applied to the development of evidence-based guidelines for colorectal cancer screening in the future, as well as the development of evidence-based guidelines for other cancer screening in China.

Abstract
This study aimed to create prognostic signatures to predict AML patients' survival using alternative splicing (AS) events. The AS data, RNA sequencing data, and the survival statistics of 136 AML patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and TCGA SpliceSeq databases. Total 34,984 AS events generated from 8,656 genes, 2,583 of which were survival-associated AS events, were identified using univariate Cox regression. The prognostic models constructed using independent survival-associated AS events revealed that low-risk splicing better predicted patients' survival. ROC analysis indicated that the predictive efficacy of the alternate terminator model was best in the area under the curve at 0.781. Enrichment analysis revealed several important genes (TP53, BCL2, AURKB, PPP2R1B, FOS, and BIRC5) and pathways, such as the protein processing pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum, RNA transport pathway, and HTLV-I infection pathway. The splicing network of splicing events and factors revealed interesting interactions, such as the positive correlation between HNRNPH3 and CALHM2-13010-AT, which may indicate the potential splicing regulatory mechanism. Taken together, survival-associated splicing events and the prognostic signatures for predicting survival can help provide an overview of splicing in AML patients and facilitate clinical practice. The splicing regulatory network may improve the understanding of spliceosomes in AML.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and improve the diagnosis and treatment of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus with an interarterial course (ALCA-R-IAC) between the ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestation, laboratory test, radiological feature, treatment and prognosis were conducted in four female children presented with ALCA-R-IAC in Beijing Children's Hospital from November 2015 to June 2018. Results: The four girls with onset age of 7.5-14.7 years were diagnosed with ALCA-R-IAC by CT coronary angiography (CTCA). Four children presented with exercise-induced syncope and clinical manifestations of acute myocardial infarction including 3 patients with acute left heart failure, 1 cardiogenic shock and 1 cardiac arrest. Nervous system involvement was found in one patient. Troponin I increased significantly to 20.65-50.00 μg/L in the four patients. Electrocardiogram (ECG) developed signs of left main coronary artery involvement. Echocardiography revealed reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 25%-45% in three children and suspected anomalous origin of the left coronary artery in one child. CTCA showed an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the right coronary sinus, which had an interarterial course between the aorta and pulmonary artery leading to a slim left main coronary trunk. Two children underwent unroofing procedure and the other two children in whom physical activities were restricted received conservative managements. During a regular follow-up period of 12-43 months, all the children survived without recurrent symptoms and had good prognosis. Conclusions: ALCA-R-IAC can present as exercise-related syncope and acute myocardial infarction, even sudden death in children and adolescents. CTCA is helpful to clarify the early diagnosis of ALCA-R-IAC. Surgical intervention is the main treatment for ALCA-R-IAC and strenuous physical activities should be avoided.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of myoepithelial carcinoma of the head and neck. Method:The clinical data of 59 patients with head and neck myoepithelial carcinoma admitted from January 2012 to October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The data was analyzed with SPSS 21.0 statistical software. Result:The follow-up period was 6 to 131 months. The mean follow-up time was 36 months. One patient(1.7%) was lost to follow-up, 17 patients(28.8%) had postoperative local recurrence, 8 patients(13.6%) had distant metastasis, and 5 patients(8.5%) had cervical lymph node metastasis; 14 patients(23.7%) died. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative survival rates were 92%, 73%, and 62%, respectively. Survival rate curves of different treatment methods were significantly different by Gehan method(P<0.05). Compared between the two groups, there was significant difference between surgery alone and surgery plus radiotherapy than radiotherapy alone and chemotherapy alone(P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the other two treatment methods. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor location, clinical stage and survival status and local recurrence rate were significantly correlated(P<0.05), but gender, age and survival status and local recurrence rate were not significantly correlated(P>0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of myoepithelial carcinoma is low, and the clinical manifestations and imaging studies lack specificity. The tumor is prone to local recurrence, invasive, and has a high incidence of distant metastasis. It is a highly malignant tumor. Surgical treatment is preferred and the requirements for first surgery are high, and major salivary glands and advanced tumors(stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ) are risk factors for survival and local recurrence. Early diagnosis and early treatment can significantly improve the survival rate of patients, reduce the local recurrence rate of tumors, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Objective:To summarize the treatment and effect of children with parotid hemangioma. Method:Thirty-three children with parotid hemangioma were treated with drug in 22 cases, 9 of which received propranolol orally, accounting for 27%; 13 cases underwent B-ultrasound guided bleomycin injection, accounting for 40%; another 11 cases were used. The treatment of surgical removal of hemangioma, accounting for 33%. Result:In 22 children with drug therapy, the evaluation criteria were evaluated by Achauer et al. 12 cases of grade Ⅳ, accounting for 54.5%; 7 cases of grade Ⅲ, accounting for 31.8%; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ, accounting for 9%. For example, accounted for 4.5%; 2 of them(1 in gradeⅠand Ⅱ) were treated with drug therapy for 6 months after surgical resection of hemangioma. Eleven children underwent surgical resection of hemangioma, and 8 patients underwent complete resection of the tumor, accounting for 73%. Among them, 3 patients had residual hemangiomas during operation, and the residual tumor was treated with bleomycin. This group of medications showed that children aged<12 months, after oral propranolol, the tumors were reduced to varying degrees, the most significant change within 1 week after administration, and then the tumor was further reduced until the end of treatment. Conclusion:B-ultrasoun lower bleomycin injection in children with parotid hemangioma is effective, and the incidence of adverse reactions is low, but multiple courses of treatment are required. For patients with poor drug treatment, recurrence or limited range, surgical resection of blood vessels can be selected. Tumor surgery should pay attention to the choice of indications and surgical operation skills, reduce the risk of facial nerve injury and postoperative facial scars. There are many different treatments for infantile hemangioma, but there is still no treatment for all children. The drug treatment of this group showed that after oral propranolol, the tumors were all reduced to varying degrees, the color became lighter, the texture became softer, and the change was most significant within 1 week after administration, and then the tumor was further reduced until the end of treatment. B-ultrasound guided bleomycin injection in children with parotid hemangioma is effective. After 1-2 courses of treatment, the tumor shrinks significantly and the incidence of adverse reactions is low. Drug treatment of parotid hemangioma in children is simple. A safe and effective method. For children with poor drug treatment, recurrence or limited range, surgical treatment of hemangioma can be selected. Surgery should pay attention to the choice of indications and surgical operation skills, reduce the risk of facial nerve injury and postoperative facial scars.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate chromosome abnormality rate and related factors of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy. Methods: A total of 831 tissue samples of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy were collected from June 2015 to August 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Chromosomal copy number was analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS). The relationships between chromosome abnormality and maternal age, in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancy, number of previous spontaneous abortions, history of live birth were analyzed by statistical methods. Results: Among 831 tissue samples of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy, 461 (55.5%, 461/831) were found to have chromosome abnormalities. Maternal age (OR=1.107, 95%CI: 1.070- 1.145) and history of live birth (OR=1.909, 95%CI: 1.182-3.083) were the positive correlative factors of chromosome abnormality. Times of previous spontaneous abortion (OR=0.807, 95%CI: 0.702-0.928) and IVF-ET pregnancy (OR=0.554, 95%CI: 0.404-0.760) were the negative correlative factors of chromosome abnormality. Conclusions: Chromosome abnormality is an important cause of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy. The rate of chromosome abnormality increases with the increase of maternal age and the history of live birth, and decreases with the increase of number of previous spontaneous abortion and IVF-ET pregnancy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between donor chimerism and relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: The clinical data of 105 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who underwent allo-HSCT and recurrence-free survival>90 days from January 2010 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The bone marrow samples were collected at 15, 30, 60, 90, 180, 270, 360 days after transplantation. Donor chimerism was detected by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -PCR. Results: Of the 105 patients, 43 cases were male and 62 cases were female, with a median age of 38 (16-60) years. Till April 2019, the median follow-up was 843 (94-3 261) days. Ninety days after transplantation, 18 cases relapsed, 33 cases died, and 72 cases survived. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (66.8±5.1) %, and the recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was (65.1±5.0) %. Pre-transplant disease status, pre-transplant minimal residual disease (MRD) , and 90 day post-transplantation chimerism were independent risk factors related to RFS. The risk of recurrence was significantly increased in patients with a donor chimerism rate ≤97.24% at 90 days after transplantation[HR=6.921 (95%CI 2.669-17.950) , P<0.001], which was considered as a sign of early relapse. Conclusion: SNP-PCR is an applicable method for detecting donor chimerism in patients after allo-HSCT. Chimerism rate equal or less than 97.24% at 90 days after transplantation predicts a higher risk of relapse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of China Children Leukemia Group-ALL2008 (CCLG-ALL 2008) protocol in pediatric patients with mixed-lineage leukaemia (MLL) gene rearrangement of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to identify the prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Six hundred and thirty-four patients with ALL were enrolled in this study between June 2008 and Dec 2014. High-risk group (HR) consisted of 217 cases, of which 28 cases were MLL related positive (first group), 22 cases were BCR/ABL positive (second group), and 167 cases were negative with MLL related or BCR/ABL (third group). The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated at the time points of day 8 (TP1), day 15 (TP2), day 33 (TP3) and 12th week (TP4) with the protocol, respectively. Overall-survival (OS) and relapse-free-survival (RFS) and treatment-related mortality (TRD) were analyzed as well. RESULTS The first group accounted for 4.4% of all patients. Compared with the second and third group, the first group had more cases younger than 2 years, with initial leukocytes ≥50×109/L, and poor response on TP2. Moreover, patients older than 2 years old had a good 5 years OS (84% ± 9% vs. 37% ± 20%, p<0.05) and RFS (84% ± 9% vs. 29% ± 17%, p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate, TRD, 5 years OS and RFS among three groups. For the first group, compared with good response to prednisone, patients with poor response to prednisone had a poor 5 years RFS (41% ± 17% vs. 81% ± 10%, p<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified that RFS and OS were influenced by such factors as age, MLL fusion partners, and prednisone response (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Such factors as younger age than 2 years old, MLL/AF4 fusion gene, poor response to prednisone, or no complete remission (CR) on TP3 were poor prognostic parameters in predicting the outcome in childhood ALL with MLL gene rearrangement treated with CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bladder cancer is the most prevalent genitourinary malignant disorder worldwide. We aimed to observe effects of high-glucose on bladder cancer proliferation and explore the associated mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human bladder cancer cell line, T24, was divided into Blank, Control (Ctrl), 10 mmol/l, 20 mmol/l and 30 mmol/l group. T24 cell proliferation was evaluated by using multiple table tournament (MTT) assay and colony formation analysis, respectively. Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay was employed to examine mRNA expression of Wnt-5a and β-catenin. Meanwhile, Western blot assay was used to evaluate expression of Wnt-5a and β-catenin protein. The linear regression analysis was utilized to analyze correlation between Wnt-5a/β-catenin expression and T24 cell proliferation. RESULTS High-glucose significantly enhanced proliferation of T24 cells compared to that of Blank and Ctrl group (p < 0.05). High-glucose significantly promoted colony formation of T24 cells compared to that of Blank and Ctrl group (p < 0.05). High-glucose significantly up-regulated Wnt-5a mRNA and protein expression compared to that of Blank and Ctrl group (p < 0.01). High-glucose significantly increased β-catenin mRNA and protein expression compared to that of Blank and Ctrl group (p < 0.01). Effects of high-glucose on T24 cell proliferation were increased following with the enhanced glucose concentration. Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway molecules were correlated with colony formation of T24 cells (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS High-glucose promoted the proliferation of T24 cells by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This study would provide the novel targets for bladder cancer therapy.

Abstract
With the rapid developments in compact devices, the multi-function and reconfigurability of nanostructures are highly appreciated, while still very challenging. A majority of devices are usually mono-functional or hard to switch between different functions in one design. In this paper, we proposed graphene-wrapped core-shell nanowires to realize real-time reconfigurable sensors and nanoantenna by tuning the Fermi energies of graphene layers at the surfaces of core and shell, respectively. Owing to the electromagnetic coupling between the two graphene layer, two corresponding Fano resonances of scattering can arise in the Terahertz spectrum, which arises from the interference of bright modes and dark modes. Around the Fano resonances, the scattering can be considerably resonant (as an antenna) or suppressed (as a sensor). Interestingly, the field distributions are distinct at the suppressed scattering states for the two Fano resonances. The presented reconfigurable nanostructures may offer promising potentials for integrated and multi-functional electromagnetic control such as dynamic sensing and emission.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical and prognostic values of TP53 gene mutation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . Methods: A retrospective analysis of 265 newly diagnosed AML patients with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data in the Hematology Department of Changhai Hospital from January 2010 to January 2019 was performed. Mutation analysis was carried out by targeted sequencing technology including 200 hematological malignancy related genes. The association of TP53 mutation with clinical features was analyzed. Results: Alterations in TP53 were found in 20 (7.5%) patients, including 17 case (6.4%) of missense mutations, 2 cases (0.7%) of frame-shift deletion mutations and 1 case (0.4%) of splicing sites mutation. A total of 23 kinds of TP53 mutations were detected, most of them (16, 69.6%) were located in the DNA binding domain of exon 5-8, 4 in the DNA binding domain of exon 3-4, 2 in exon 10 and 1 in splice site, respectively. The median age of patients with TP53 alterations was higher than those without [52 (26-72) years old vs 45 (14-75) years old, P= 0.008]. The frequency of complex karyotypes was higher in patients with TP53 alterations than those without [45.0% (9/20) vs 6.1% (15/245) , P<0.001]. Median overall survival (OS) of patients with TP53 alterations was shorter than those without[14.1 (95%CI 6.78-21.42) months vs 31.4 (95%CI 13.20-49.59) months, P=0.029]. The OS of patients treated with "Decitabine + CAG" was superior than that of patients treated with "3 + 7" regimen [30.0 (95%CI 27.35-38.84) months vs 12.5 (95%CI 5.80-19.19) months, P=0.018]. Multivariate analysis indicated that TP53, DNMT3A and USH2A alterations, WBC ≥ 12.45×10(9)/L had negative impacts on OS. Conclusion: The frequency of TP53 mutation was 7.5% in our cohort. Most mutations were located in the DNA binding domain. TP53 alterations were strongly associated with older age, complex karyotype and shorter OS. Decitabine-based induction chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may improve OS, more cases and/or multicenter randomized studies are needed for further confirmation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is a member of the CC subfamily, which displays chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils. This molecule plays a very important role in many solid tumors and shows changes in the bone marrow microenvironment. However, its role in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is still unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we established a HL-60 cell line with CCL2 knockdown to explore its effect on leukemogenesis. Lentivirus with CCL2-knockdown was successfully constructed after screening effective CCL2 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) sequences and was transfected into HL-60 cells, which was further validated at the mRNA and protein levels by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS Low expression of CCL2 significantly decreased HL-60 cell growth by increasing the cell arrest at G1 phase by 12% more than controls. We applied RNA sequencing technology to discriminate the gene expression profiles between the cells with CCL2 knockdown and the controls, and Cyclin D1 was selected for further experiments as its expression level was significantly downregulated, which was validated at the mRNA and protein levels. Cyclin D1 knockdown experiments showed that the cell proliferation rate was evidently decelerated, and cell cycle analysis also indicated a similar pattern for CCL2. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that Cyclin D1 is an effector that mediates CCL2's function in cell proliferation by blocking cells at G1 phase.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent subtype of lung cancer histologically, and an increasing number of evidences have shown during the past years that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in tumorigenesis. Here we found a long non-coding RNA, GATA2-AS1, repressing NSCLC cells proliferation via regulating GATA2. GATA2-AS1 gene is located at antisense strand of GATA2 on chromosome while GATA2-AS1 RNA interacts with GATA1 protein at promoter region of GATA2 and then inhibits its transcription. Moreover, GATA2-AS1 is transcriptionally repressed by MYC in NSCLC cells. To conclude, our study discovered the role of lncRNA GATA2-AS1 in human non-small cell lung cancer growth thus providing a potential target for lung cancer drugs.

Abstract
Vacuolar protein sorting 4 (Vps4) not only functions with its positive regulator vacuolar protein sorting 20-associated 1 (Vta1) in the multivesicular body (MVB) pathway but also participates alone in MVB-unrelated cellular processes. However, its physiological roles at the organism level remain rarely explored. We previously identified their respective homologues Bombyx mori Vps4 (BmVps4) and BmVta1 from the silkworm, a model organism for insect research. In this study, we performed fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot to globally characterize the transcription and protein expression profiles of BmVps4 and BmVta1 during silkworm development and in different silkworm tissues and organs. The results showed that they were significantly up-regulated in metamorphosis, adulthood and embryogenesis relative to larval stages, and displayed a roughly similar tissue-and-organ specificity for transcriptions in silkworm larvae. Importantly, BmVps4 was down-regulated during the early period of the fifth instar, reaching the lowest level of transcription on Day 6, then up-regulated from Day 7 to the wandering, spinning and pupal stages, and down-regulated again in adulthood. Moreover, knocking down BmVps4 by RNA interference significantly inhibited silk gland growth, shortened spinning time, prolonged pupation, reduced pupal size and weight, and increased moth wing defects. Together, our data demonstrate the critical and broad requirements for BmVps4 in silkworm metamorphosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroimaging studies have identified obesity-related differences in the brain's resting state activity. An imbalance between homeostatic and reward aspects of ingestive behaviour may contribute to obesity and food addiction. The interactions between early life adversity (ELA), the reward network and food addiction were investigated to identify obesity and sex-related differences, which may drive obesity and food addiction. METHODS Functional resting state magnetic resonance imaging was acquired in 186 participants (high body mass index [BMI]: ≥25: 53 women and 54 men; normal BMI: 18.50-24.99: 49 women and 30 men). Participants completed questionnaires to assess ELA (Early Traumatic Inventory) and food addiction (Yale Food Addiction Scale). A tripartite network analysis based on graph theory was used to investigate the interaction between ELA, brain connectivity and food addiction. Interactions were determined by computing Spearman rank correlations, thresholded at q < 0.05 corrected for multiple comparisons. RESULTS Participants with high BMI demonstrate an association between ELA and food addiction, with reward regions playing a role in this interaction. Among women with high BMI, increased ELA was associated with increased centrality of reward and emotion regulation regions. Men with high BMI showed associations between ELA and food addiction with somatosensory regions playing a role in this interaction. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that ELA may alter brain networks, leading to increased vulnerability for food addiction and obesity later in life. These alterations are sex specific and involve brain regions influenced by dopaminergic or serotonergic signalling.
