Abstract
AIM To evaluate the role of MRI in preoperative assessments of patients with a persistent cloaca and compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus fluoroscopy contrast study in the accuracy of common canal measurement and classification prediction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-one patients with a persistent cloaca were diagnosed and treated at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between March 2011 and December 2017. The length of the common canal was measured using MRI and fluoroscopy contrast study. Classification results based on measurements were compared with cystoscopy and intraoperative findings. The accuracy in predicting the classification by measuring the common canal length was compared. RESULT Among 31 patients, 24 had MRI, 24 underwent fluoroscopy contrast study, and 25 underwent cystoscopy. In 20 patients, MRI-based categorisations were in accordance with cystoscopy or surgery findings, whereas in four patients there was discordance. In 17 patients, categorisations based on fluoroscopy contrast study were in accordance with cystoscopy or surgery findings, and in seven patients there was discordance; the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). CONCLUSION MRI may accurately demonstrate genitourinary anomalies and the length of the common canal in patients with persistent cloaca. Categorisation based on MRI measurements of the common canal was accordant with the results from cystoscopy and findings from surgery. The use of this method may help surgeons to develop appropriate reconstruction plans before sending their patients to the operating room.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We conducted a meta-analysis on exploring the correlation between I/D polymorphism of ACE and risk of diabetes mellitus-related end-stage renal disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Researches on the correlation between I/D polymorphism of ACE and the risk of diabetes-related end-stage renal disease were searched in the three online databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library). Citations of related researches were manually examined and enrolled. This study systematically searched relative literature for cohort studies or case-control studies published in the English language until December 1, 2018. Researches containing odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) calculated based on the correlation between I/D polymorphism of ACE and the risk of diabetes-related end-stage renal disease were enrolled. The included data were weighted by an inverse variance and then analyzed by a fixed or random effects model. Researches met the inclusion criteria were extracted for relevant data and subjected to a heterogeneity test. The effect size was calculated by STATA 12.0 software for meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 15 articles including 1199 cases of diabetes-related end-stage renal disease and 2939 cases of controls were enrolled. I/D polymorphism of ACE remarkably increased the risk of diabetes-related end-stage renal disease. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, a significant difference in risk of diabetes-related ESRD was only detected in the Asian population with I/D polymorphism of ACE. However, no significant difference in disease risk was found in the Caucasian population. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggested that I/D polymorphism of ACE can markedly increase the incidence of diabetes-related end-stage renal disease, especially in Asian populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major risk factor for perinatal morbidity and mortality, leading to long-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms in IUGR-associated vascular endothelial dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were derived from IUGR or normal newborns. We found that the proliferation of IUGR-derived HUVECs was accelerated compared to those from normal subjects. Gene profiles related to vascular function including vasomotion, oxidative stress, and angiogenesis were dysregulated in IUGR-HUVECs. Compared with HUVECs from normal newborns, nitric oxide (NO) production was reduced, with imbalance between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and arginase-2 (Arg-2) in IUGR. Meanwhile, intracellular asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level was elevated with diminished dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) expression in IUGR-HUVECs. Furthermore, endothelin-1 (ET-1) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) expression were increased, and endothelin receptor type-B (ETBR) was reduced in the IUGR group. IUGR-HUVECs exposed to hypoxia increased the ratio of ADMA to l-arginine, HIF-1α and protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) expression compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that the reduction of NO bioavailability and release results from elevated Arg-2, accumulation of intracellular ADMA, and imbalance of ET-1 and ETBR, further leading to IUGR-associated vascular endothelial dysfunction. Our study provides novel evidence on the mechanism underlying fetal programming associated with IUGR, which will serve as potential therapeutic targets in the prevention of adverse cardiovascular consequences in adulthood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency with susceptibility and clinical features of group B Streptococcus (GBS) causing meningitis in Chinese infants. METHODS During 2014-2017, 33 infants with laboratory-confirmed GBS meningitis were included. Six polymorphisms (H/L, Y/X, P/Q, A/D, A/B and A/C) of MBL were sought for in these patients and in 330 healthy controls by PCR-based sequencing. Serum MBL concentration was determined. RESULTS Significantly higher frequency of MBL variant genotype A/B was found in patients than controls (15/33, 45%, vs. 79/330, 24%, p=0.011). Patients with variant genotype A/B had significantly lower serum MBL than those with wild-type genotype A/A (median, 482.87 vs. 1455.13 ng/mL, p=0.002). Moreover, patients with genotype A/B had significantly higher level of C-reactive protein (median, 146 vs. 41 mg/L, p=0.007), neutrophil (median, 58.1% vs. 45.7%, p=0.033) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in blood (median, 2.32 vs. 1.03, p=0.018) compared to those with genotype A/A. No significant differences were observed in clinical features of patients with different genotypes. CONCLUSIONS Our result suggested that infants with MBL deficiency are at higher risk of meningitis caused by GBS. Further studies in different populations with larger number of subjects are needed.

Abstract
The kinetics of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) during the natural history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been studied, but the factors affecting them remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the factors affecting HBsAg titres, using data from multicentre, large-sized clinical trials in China. The baseline data of 1795 patients in 3 multicentre trials were studied, and the patients were classified into 3 groups: hepatitis B early antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic HBV infection (n = 588), HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (n = 596), and HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B (n = 611). HBsAg titres in the different phases were compared, and multiple linear progression analyses were performed to investigate the implicated factors. HBsAg titres varied significantly in different phases (P = .000), with the highest (4.60 log10 IU/mL [10%-90% confidence interval: 3.52 log10 IU/mL-4.99 log10 IU/mL]) in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic HBV infection. In all phases, age and HBV DNA were correlated with serum HBsAg level. In HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients, a negative correlation between HBsAg titres and fibrosis stage was observed. Alanine amonitransferase or necroinflammatory activity was also correlated with HBsAg titres in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients. In conclusion, decreased HBsAg titres may be associated with advancing fibrosis in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients or increased necroinflammation in those with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B. Our findings may help clinicians better understand the kinetics of HBsAg and provide useful insights into the management of this disease.

Abstract
Objective: To develop a nomogram based on prostate imaging reporting and data system version 2 (PI-RADS v2) to predict clinically significant prostate cancer in patients with a prior negative prostate biopsy. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 231 patients who underwent repeat prostate biopsy and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) were reviewed. Based on PI-RADS v2, the mpMRI results were assigned as PI-RADS grade from 0 to 2. A Logistic regression nomogram for predicting the probabilities of clinically significant prostate cancer were constructed. The performances of the nomogram were assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibrations and decision curve analysis. Results: Of the total 231 repeat prostate biopsy patients, clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 59 cases(25.5%). In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume (PV), digital rectal examination (DRE) and mpMRI results were significant independent predictors of the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (P<0.05). The nomogram with super predictive accuracy were constructed (AUC=0.927, P<0.001), and exhibited excellent calibration. Decision curve analysis also demonstrated a high net benefit across a wide range of threshold probabilities . Conclusions: PI-RADS v2 combined with age, PSA, PV and DRE can predict the probability of clinically significant prostate cancer in patients with negative initial biopsies. The nomogram generated may help the decision-making process in patients with prior benign histology before the performance of repeat biopsy.

Abstract
AIM To determine true negatives and characterise the variables associated with false-negative results when interpreting non-malignant results of computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine hundred and fifty patients with initial non-malignant findings on their first transthoracic CT-guided core-needle biopsy (TTNB) were included in the study. Initial biopsy results were compared to definitive diagnoses established later. RESULTS The negative predictive value (NPV) of non-malignant diseases upon initial TTNB was 83.6%. When the biopsy results indicated specific infection or benign tumour (n=225, 26.1%), they all were confirmed true negative for malignancy later. Only one inconclusive "granuloma" diagnosis was false negative. All 141 patients (141/861, 16.4%) who were false negative for malignancy were from the "infection not otherwise specified (NOS)", "inflammatory diseases", or "inconclusive" groups. Age (p=0.002), cancer history (p<0.001), target size (p=0.003), and pneumothorax during lung biopsy (p=0.003) were found to be significant predictors of false-negative results; 47.6% (410/861) of patients underwent additional invasive examinations to reach a final diagnosis. Ultimately, 52.7% (216/410) were successfully diagnosed. CONCLUSION Specific infection, benign tumour, and granulomatous inflammation of first TTNBs were mostly true negative. Older age, history of cancer, larger target size, and pneumothorax were highly predictive of false-negative results for malignancies. In such cases, additional invasive examinations were frequently necessary to obtain final diagnoses.

Abstract
Isopsoralen is the main component of the Chinese medicine psoralen, which has antitumour activity and can be used for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, the mechanism behind its hepatotoxicity has not yet been elucidated. In this study, the hepatotoxicity of isopsoralen was investigated using zebrafish. Isopsoralen treatment groups of 25, 50 and 100 μM were established. The mortality, liver morphology changes, levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), liver histopathology and mRNA levels of liver injury–related genes in zebrafish larvae were measured. The results showed that isopsoralen resulted in the development of malformed zebrafish, dose-dependent increases in ALT and AST, decreased liver fluorescence and weakened fluorescence intensity. Histopathological examination showed that high-dose isopsoralen caused a large number of vacuolated structures in the larvae liver. The polymerase chain reaction results showed a significant decrease in the mRNA levels of genes related to antioxidant capacity ( lfabp, gstp2 and sod1) and drug transport ( mdr1, mrp1 and mrp2), indicating that isopsoralen significantly inhibited liver antioxidant capacity and drug efflux capacity in zebrafish larvae. Isopsoralen is hepatotoxic to zebrafish larvae via inhibition of drug transporter expression resulting in the accumulation of isopsoralen in the body and decreased antioxidant capacity, leading to liver injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For cancer patients, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is as important as other key outcomes, such as overall survival and tumor-free survival. Liver transplantation (LT), resection, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are 3 radical therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that result in similar survival. The main objective of this study was to assess and compare long-term HRQoL scores for patients with early-stage (tumor diameter ≤3 cm) HCC after LT, resection, or RFA. METHODS A total of 128 HCC patients with a single tumor ≤3 cm and who agreed to undergo LT, resection, or RFA were included in the present analysis. Postoperative HRQoL was evaluated by using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire. The 3 groups were compared at the 6-month and 3-year time points. RESULTS The 3 groups showed comparable 3-year HCC recurrence rates (P > .05). Compared with the LT and resection groups, the RFA group had significantly higher scores for bodily pain, general health, and vitality 6 months after surgery (all P values < .05). Moreover, at 3 years after surgery, the RFA group had higher scores for bodily pain and vitality than the other 2 groups (P < .05) and a higher general health score than the resection group. Other aspects of HRQoL were comparable among the 3 groups at both time points. CONCLUSIONS Due to its comparable HCC recurrence rate and superior long-term HRQoL scores relative to other radical therapies, RFA may be the first-choice treatment for solitary early-stage HCC.

Abstract
Real world study (RWS), a further verification and supplement for explanatory randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures in real clinical environment, has increasingly become the focus in the field of research on medical and health care services. However, some people mistakenly equate real world study with observational research, and argue that intervention and randomization cannot be carried out in real world study. In fact, both observational and experimental design are the basic designs in real world study, while the latter usually refers to pragmatic randomized controlled trial and registry-based randomized controlled trial. Other nonrandomized controlled and adaptive designs can also be adopted in the RWS.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the application of vascular replacement technique with allogenic blood vessel in radical resection for pancreatic carcinoma. Methods: The clinical data of 33 patients with vascular invasion of pancreatic carcinoma who underwent radical resection from April 2013 to April 2017 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 males and 19 females with age of (62.5±10.6)years(ranging from 35 to 78 years). Vascular replacement technique with allogenic blood vessel was used on all patients who underwent radical resection for pancreatic carcinoma. The operation procedure was made according to the specific location of the carcinoma, and the allogenic blood vessel was selected according to the type of vascular invasion. The matching vessel was selected for replacement to the patient who was invaded only one vessel. And the "Y" type of iliac vein was selected for replacement to the patient who was invaded the confluence of portal vein, splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein. After the operation, the patients were followed up by telephone and outpatient review. Results: All of 33 patients were successfully completed the operations. There were 28 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular replacement, and 5 patients underwent total pancreatectomy with vascular replacement. All the patients were confirmed pancreatic carcinoma and R0 resection according to the postoperative pathology. There were 16 patients with the carcinoma invasion the confluence of portal vein, splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein, 12 patients with the carcinoma invasion the superior mesenteric vein, and 5 patients with the carcinoma invasion the portal vein. There was no perioperative death in this group and no complications related to allogenic blood vessel. The incidence of postoperative complications was 18.2% (6/33), and the incidence of pancreatic fistula was 6.1% (2/33), all of which were biochemical fistula. There were 32 patients were followed up, and the follow-up rate was 96.9%. The median survival time was 14.6 months. The half-year, 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 75.6%, 37.6% and 27.4%. Conclusion: The application of vascular replacement technique with allogenic blood vessel for pancreatic carcinoma has a great significance for improving the R0 resection rate and the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
The activity of total thymidine kinase in serum (S-TK) has been used as a tumor maker for decades. To date such activity has been determined using [125]I-iodo-deoxyuridine as a substrate. The aim of this study was to develop a new, antibody-based technique for the measurement of cytoplasmic thymidine kinase (TK1) in serum. Both mono- and polyclonal antibodies against S-TK1 were used in dot blot assay. S-TK1 was characterized by SDS and IEF techniques. Sixty-five breast cancer patients were studied, including 17 preoperative and 38 postoperative tumor-free patients and 10 patients with metastases to the lymph nodes (N1–2). They were compared to patients with benign tumors (n=21) and healthy volunteers (n=11). S-TK1 was low (0–1.0 pM) in healthy volunteers, while in preoperative patients the level was increased 6–110-fold. Significant differences were observed between preoperative patients and healthy volunteers (p=0.005), preoperative patients and patients with benign tumors (p<0.001), and preoperative patients and postoperative patients without metastases (p<0.001). No significant difference was observed between preoperative patients and postoperative patients with metastases (p=0.191). The S-TK activity in preoperative patients was also high in serum, but no decrease was observed following surgery. In conclusion, the anti-TK1 antibody could be a good marker for monitoring the response of breast cancer patients to therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of the modified laparoscopic placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters by nephrologists. Methods: A total of 188 patients diagnosed as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were enrolled, who received catheter and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) therapy from January 2011 to May 2016 in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. They were divided into group A (with modified laparoscopic placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters, n=59) and group B (with conventional placement of peritoneal dialysis catheter, n=129). The demographic and clinical characteristics, past abdominal operation history, surgery time, hospital stay after operation, expenses for surgery and hospitalization, early and late complications including bleeding, pain, leakage, peritonitis and catheter displacement were observed. Results: Patients with previous abdominal surgery accounted for 11.9% in group A and 0 in group B(χ2=15.897, P<0.001). The duration of the operation was (38.9±12.8)min in group A and (64.1±12.7)min in group B(t=-6.466 6, P=0.000 0). The cost of the operation was (5 488.4±156.1) yuan in group A and (1 602.7±48.92) yuan in group B (t=257.129, P=0.000 0). Catheter displacement within one month was observed in 0 and 11.6%(χ2=7.455 3, P=0.003), pain in 15.3% and 41.9% (χ2=12.862 2, P=0.000), and catheter displacement after one month in 0 and in 16.3% (χ2=10.812 4, P=0.000) of the patients, respectively in group A and group B. The incidences of peritonitis within one month and beyond one month, leakage, bleeding and so on showed no difference between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions: Placement of PD catheter with laparoscope is suitable for renal failure patients with abdominal operation history and replacement PD catheter. It also has the advantages of shorter surgery time, less pain and lower incidences of catheter displacement, expanding the application of PD. However, bleeding, leakage, hernia and other complications are frequently seen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that the prognosis of liver transplantation (LT) is significantly influenced by pretransplant factors, such as diabetes mellitus (DM). However, inconsistent observations are obtained. METHODS We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science to identify eligible cohort studies to evaluate the impact of preexisting DM on LT prognosis. Overall mortality and graft loss, as the most frequently observed parameters, were used to evaluate the outcomes of LT. Hazard ratios (HRs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to assess the effect of DM. RESULTS 15,768 diabetic LT recipients and 60,176 non-diabetic LT recipients from 13 populations were included in this meta-analysis. Preexisting DM increased the risk for overall death of LT by 40% (95% CI 1.22-1.61), compared with DM-free patients. In addition, the risk for graft loss was also elevated by pretransplant DM (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.07-1.54). Both analyses showed high heterogeneities (I 2 = 85.2 and 93.2%, respectively) and their sources were not identified by meta-regression analyses. In terms of the additive effect of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on poor outcomes of diabetic LT recipients, stratified meta-analyses were conducted. It was demonstrated that HCV infection increased the risk for mortality by 73% (95% CI 1.64-1.83), relatively higher than non-HCV recipients (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.25-1.39) and general population (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.22-1.61). CONCLUSION Preexisting DM predicts worse patient and graft survivals of LT. Concomitant HCV infection would further deteriorate this unfavorable impact. Given the high heterogeneities and the insufficient evidences, more studies are still warranted to support these observations.

Abstract
Thymidine kinase 1 in serum (STK1) of patients with gastric cancer was determined by two methods: ECL dot blot and radioactivity assay. Both measurements showed significantly different values for preoperative STK1 and healthy STK1 (p=0.012 for ECL dot blot and p=0.003 for the radioactivity assay). The preliminary results of ECL dot blot STK1 measurement showed that in tumor-free subjects the level of the enzyme was significantly reduced to 52.7% 35 days after surgery (n=8, p=0.0106). The decrease in STK1 levels in the tumor-free subjects paralleled the decline of the half-life of the STK1 enzyme. In patients with distant metastases (n=6) the enzyme level had increased to 173% 35 days postoperatively. By contrast, with the radioactivity assay no significant differences in thymidine kinase activity for 0-day-postoperative patients and 35-day-postoperative tumor-free patients was found (p=0.329). The activity decreased to 80% in 35-day-postoperative patients with metastatic disease. We suggest that the value of the half-life of STK1 measured by ECL dot blot can be used as a potential marker for monitoring the response to surgery in patients with gastric or other cancers one month after surgery.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid (NA) is ubiquitous in nature and its microbial degradation mechanisms are diverse. In this study, Pusillimonas sp. strain T2 was found to be capable of utilizing NA as sole carbon and nitrogen sources. This strain could completely degrade 300 mg l-1 NA within 3·5 h at 30°C and pH 7·0 and one of the degradation intermediate of NA was identified as 6-hydroxynicotinic acid (6HNA). The draft genome sequences of strain T2 were determined to have a total length of 3·3 M bp and 3054 proteins were predicted. The encoding genes of three-component NA hydroxylase (NahAB1 B2 ) genes were identified. The nahAB1 B2 genes were heterologously expressed in the non-NA-degrading Shinella sp. strain HZN7. The recombinant HZN7-pBBR-nahAB1 B2 converted NA into equimolar 6HNA, while the recombinants HZN7-pBBR-nahAB1 (lacking component B2 ) and HZN7-pBBR-nahAB2 (lacking component B1 ) could not convert NA. Cell-free extracts of HZN7-pBBR-nahAB1 B2 exhibited NA hydroxylase activity. After addition of an artificial electron acceptor (such as phenazine methosulphate, PMS), the NA hydroxylase activity was significantly increased. The Km and Vmax values for NA were 65·94 μmol l-1 and 260·80 ± 5·69 mU mg-1 , respectively, using PMS as an electron acceptor. This study provides a novel insight into the NA degradation by bacteria. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Nicotinic acid (NA) serves as a model system for the degradation of N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds and the microbial degradation mechanisms are diverse. This is the first time that a three-component hydroxylase has been identified. This study provides a novel insight into the NA degradation by bacteria.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the cytogenetic response detected by conventional banding analysis (CBA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and to explore the correlation between the cytogenetic and molecular response in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients during tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Methods: CBA, FISH and real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) methods were performed to detect the cytogenetic and molecular response simultaneously in 504 bone marrow samples from 367 CML patients who received TKI treatment. Results: Among 504 samples, 344 were detected to reach complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) by CBA, while 297 samples reached CCyR by FISH which were considered to carry BCR-ABL positive cells<1%. When the results of CBA, FISH and RQ-PCR were compared in 493 samples at the same time, it showed that in 337 samples with CBA-CCyR, 273 (81.0%) reached FISH-CCyR and 289 (85.8%) were BCR-ABL(IS) (International Scale, IS) ≤1% by RQ-PCR, compared to 9.0 (261/290) were BCR-ABL(IS) ≤1% among 290 samples with FISH-CCyR. There was no significant difference in the median value of BCR-ABL(IS) between samples in CBA-CCyR and FISH-CCyR (0.21% vs 0.13%, z=-1.875, P=0.061) . Furthermore, when the samples were divided into three groups according to BCR-ABL positive cells (0,>0~<1%, 1%~5%) by FISH, the statistical difference was observed, the proportion of samples with BCR-ABL(IS) ≤1% in the three groups were 94.1%, 57.6% and 27.7% respectively (χ(2)=43.499, P<0.001; χ(2)=9.734, P=0.003) , while the median value of BCR-ABL(IS) were 0.10%, 0.64% and 1.80% respectively (z=-5.864, P<0.001; z=-4.787, P<0.001) . Conclusion: FISH results were in good concordance with CBA in identify samples in CCyR, FISH was more sensitive and had better correlation with RQ-PCR results than CBA, but how to define FISH-CCyR need further study.

Abstract
Modulation and δ-doping strategies, in which atomically thin layers of charged dopants are precisely deposited within a heterostructure, have played enabling roles in the discovery of new physical behavior in electronic materials. Here, we demonstrate a purely structural "δ-doping" strategy in complex oxide heterostructures, in which atomically thin manganite layers are inserted into an isovalent manganite host, thereby modifying the local rotations of corner-connected MnO_{6} octahedra. Combining scanning transmission electron microscopy, polarized neutron reflectometry, and density functional theory, we reveal how local magnetic exchange interactions are enhanced within the spatially confined regions of suppressed octahedral rotations. The combined experimental and theoretical results illustrate the potential to utilize noncharge-based approaches to "doping" in order to enhance or suppress functional properties within spatially confined regions of oxide heterostructures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hoffa fractures, coronal-plane fractures involving the distal femoral condyles, are unstable, intra-articular fractures. The aim of this study was to define the location and frequency of fracture lines and comminution zones in Hoffa fractures using computed tomography (CT) mapping in both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional contexts. METHODS Seventy-five Hoffa fractures (OTA/AO types 33B3.2 and 33B3.3) were retrospectively reviewed. The directions of fracture lines were characterized in the axial and sagittal CT planes. CT images for all fractures were superimposed on one another and oriented to fit a standard template. Mapping of fracture lines and comminution zones in both the axial and sagittal planes was performed. A 3-dimensional map was created by reducing reconstructed fracture fragments to fit to a model of the distal aspect of the femur. RESULTS This study included 1 bicondylar and 74 unicondylar (26 medial and 48 lateral) Hoffa fractures. Comminuted fractures accounted for 35.5% of all fractures and 44.9% of lateral fractures. Axial fracture mapping demonstrated that fracture lines were concentrated in the middle-third area of the lateral condyle but were less concentrated and with greater variation in the medial condyle. The mean angle of fracture lines with respect to the posterior condylar axis was 34.4° and 29.0° in the lateral and medial femoral condyles, respectively. Sagittal fracture mapping also demonstrated that fracture lines were concentrated in the middle third of the lateral condyle but were less concentrated in the medial condyle. The mean angle of fracture lines with respect to the posterior cortex of the distal femoral shaft was 23.1° and 19.3° in the lateral and medial condyles, respectively. Three-dimensional mapping demonstrated comminution zones commonly occurring in the weight-bearing zone of the lateral condylar articular surface. CONCLUSIONS Hoffa fractures occurred more frequently in the lateral femoral condyle. In the axial plane, fractures commonly extended from anterolateral to posteromedial in the lateral condyle and from anteromedial to posterolateral in the medial femoral condyle. In the sagittal plane, fractures traversed from anteroinferior to posterosuperior. Articular comminution was more commonly seen in lateral condylar fractures and concentrated in the weight-bearing zone of the articular surface. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Research in this area is imperative for optimal preoperative planning, such as for the selection of surgical approach and fixation constructs. Our findings lend insight into fracture morphology, which can assist with fracture classification and the design of biomechanical studies, ultimately aiding in treatment.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Erlotinib is one of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors and is widely used as a targeted therapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There are a few reports regarding ocular adverse effects of erlotinib. Herein, we report a case of rapid onset of ocular toxicity associated with overdosing of erlotinib. CASE DESCRIPTION A 72-year-old male with metastatic NSCLC developed conjunctivitis after accidentally taking erlotinib at a dosage of 300 mg/day for 4 days. Before that, the patient had been taking erlotinib at the prescribed dose of 150 mg/day for 17 days. Erlotinib was discontinued for 7 days, and the conjunctivitis was successfully treated symptomatically. The adverse effect did not recur when he resumed taking erlotinib 150 mg/day, suggesting the ocular change was related to the overdosing of erlotinib. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Awareness and close monitoring of this adverse effect are helpful for doctors and pharmacists to identify inadvertent drug overdose. Patients should be provided comprehensive education before receiving targeted therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is elevated in various inflammatory diseases, but its clinical significance in Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) in unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the value of RDW as a risk factor or marker for HSPN in children. METHODS This was a case-control study of 105 Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) patients, 120 HSPN patients and 192 healthy controls. The relationship between RDW-coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) and the clinical characteristics of HSPN patients was determined by a multiple logistic regression analysis (MVLRA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to compare the diagnostic potential of the RDW-CV, a panel of routine markers and combinations of these indices. RESULTS The RDW-CV values were significantly higher in the HSPN group than the HSP group and controls (P < 0.001). Significant correlations were found between RDW-CV and ESR (P = 0.001). A combination of RDW-CV and ESR in a ROC curve showed 80% sensitivity and 84.9% specificity in the HSP patients, and 85.8% sensitivity and 93.8% specificity in the HSPN patients. The MVLRA revealed that RDW-CV (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.16-2.48, P = 0.007) was an independent predictor of HSPN. CONCLUSIONS The RDW levels were highest in the HPSN group, suggesting that RDW, especially the combination of RDW and ESR, may have value when assessing the risk of HSPN.

Abstract
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is associated with the development of adult-onset diseases, including pulmonary hypertension. However, the underlying mechanism of the early nutritional insult that results in pulmonary vascular dysfunction later in life is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of tyrosine phosphorylation of voltage-gated potassium channel 1.5 (Kv1.5) in this prenatal event that results in exaggerated adult vascular dysfunction. A rat model of chronic hypoxia (2 weeks of hypoxia at 12 weeks old) following IUGR was used to investigate the physiological and structural effect of intrauterine malnutrition on the pulmonary artery by evaluating pulmonary artery systolic pressure and vascular diameter in male rats. Kv1.5 expression and tyrosine phosphorylation in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were determined. We found that IUGR increased mean pulmonary artery pressure and resulted in thicker pulmonary artery smooth muscle layer in 14-week-old rats after 2 weeks of hypoxia, while no difference was observed in normoxia groups. In the PASMCs of IUGR-hypoxia rats, Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expression decreased while that of tyrosine-phosphorylated Kv1.5 significantly increased. These results demonstrate that IUGR leads to exaggerated chronic hypoxia pulmonary arterial hypertension (CH-PAH) in association with decreased Kv1.5 expression in PASMCs. This phenomenon may be mediated by increased tyrosine phosphorylation of Kv1.5 in PASMCs and it provides new insight into the prevention and treatment of IUGR-related CH-PAH.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) on hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and expression. Methods: HepG2, HepG2.2.15, and HepAD38 cells were cultured separately, and Western blot was used to measure the expression of ZEB2. HepG2.2.15 cells were cultured and transfected with ZEB2 expression plasmids or shRNA targeting ZEB2. Western blot was used to measure the expression of ZEB2 and HBV core proteins, quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure HBV 3.5 kb RNA and HBV DNA, Southern blot was used to measure HBV replicative intermediate, and ELISA was used to measure the expression of HBsAg and HBeAg, in order to clarify the effect of ZEB2 on HBV replication and expression. The dual-luciferase reporter system was used to analyze the effect of ZEB2 on HBV promoter, and the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was used to detect the binding of ZEB2 to HBV promoter. The t-test was used for comparison of means between groups. Results: The expression of ZEB2 was inhibited in the cells with HBV replication. Overexpression of ZEB2 reduced the level of HBV replication and expression by about 50% (P< 0.05). After ZEB2 was downregulated by shZEB2-1 or shZEB2-2, the level of HBV replicative intermediate increased from 58.53 ± 3.43 to 112.80 ± 5.03, and 128.30 ± 2.31, the relative expression level of HBV 3.5 kb RNA increased from 1.00 ± 0.01 to 2.03 ± 0.02 and 2.32 ± 0.03, the level of HBsAg increased from 35.63% ± 1.57% to 81.87% ± 0.43% and 100.00% ± 2.18%, and HBeAg increased from 37.00% ± 0.70% to 88.00% ± 2.60% and 100.00% ± 0.75%. Furthermore, ZEB2 could bind to HBV core promoter and inhibit its transcriptional activity. Conclusion: ZEB2 inhibits HBV replication and expression through binding to HBV core promoter and inhibiting its transcriptional activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gastric cancer is a common malignancy with increasing worldwide incidence, and chemotherapeutic drugs for gastric cancer are not effective. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been proved to be important in different cancer progression. In this research, we investigated whether lncRNAs have relations with drug resistance in gastric cancer to find new potential targets for therapy, which can increase the survival time of the drug-resistant gastric patient. PATIENTS AND METHODS qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of BCAR4 in 113 cases of gastric cancer tissue and adjacent tissue, and the clinical significance was also analyzed. MTT assays and Western blot were performed to cytologically determine the relationship between BCAR4 expression and cisplatin resistance, as well as to investigate the potential molecular mechanism involved. RESULTS Compared with the adjacent tissues, we found that BCAR4 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues. We also found that the expression of BCAR4 was significantly related to the size of the tumor, clinical classification and the survival time. In cytological experiments, we found the expression of BCAR4 was enhanced in cisplatin-resistant cell strains (SGC7901/DDP). What's more, overexpression of BCAR4 in SGC7901 cells increased resistance to cisplatin while reduced BCAR4 expression increased the sensitivity of SGC7901/DDP cells to cisplatin. Western blot experiments indicated that elevated expression of BCAR4 upregulated tumor stem cell-related biomarkers via regulating Wnt signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS We showed that BCAR4 was closely related with the cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer. It might be a promising target for treating gastric cancer and improving the efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic rate, safety and clinical application of percutaneous renal masses biopsy for advanced renal cell carcinoma patients. METHODS In this retrospective study, we collected the data of renal masses from the patients who underwent renal masses biopsy under ultrasound from April 2001 to December 2014 in Peking University First Hospital. A total of 75 patients who were undiagnosed or diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma by the imageological method were enrolled in this study. The patient and lesion characteristics such as tumor size, pathology of tumor, histologic subtype, pathological grade, biopsied location and biopsied cores were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Among all the 75 patients, biopsy was diagnostic in 64 cases (85.3%) and non-diagnostic in 11 cases (14.7%). Of the 64 diagnostic biopsies, 60 were malignant, including 37 (61.7%) renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 13 (21.7%) urothelial carcinoma and 10 (16.7%) other malignant masses. Of all the RCC subjects, 24 suffered from clear cell RCC, 5 papillary RCC, 3 collecting duct carcinomas, 1 unclassified RCC and 4 unknown subtypes. The 11 non-diagnostic biopsied samplings included inflammatory, blood and extrarenal tissue and normal renal tissue. The proportion of collecting duct carcinoma in RCC was 10.8% and the proportion of squamous carcinoma in urothelial carcinoma was 23.1%, which were both higher than the previous research findings. For the male and female groups, non-diagnostic yields were 6.5% and 30.4%, respectively (P=0.022). Of all the 75 patients, 13 renal cell carcinoma patients underwent the surgical treatment and got the results of postoperative pathology. Comparing preoperative biopsy pathological diagnosis with postoperative pathological diagnosis, we found the diagnostic correct rates for benign and malignant lesions, pathological subtype and pathological grade were 100%, 81.8% and 60%, respectively. Mild macroscopic hematuria occurred in 1 case after RMB and there were no serious complications in all the cases. CONCLUSION Percutaneous renal masses biopsy under ultrasound with a high diagnostic rate which can define the histologic subtype of renal cell carcinoma. With targeted therapy, more and more patients whose evaluation suggests local advanced disease or metastatic tumors adopt renal tumor biopsy to define the histologic subtype, which could avoid unnecessary surgical treatment.

Abstract
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine whether motivational-salient cues could exert a differential impact on proactive (the restrain of actions in preparation for stopping) and reactive (outright stopping) inhibition. Fourteen high-frequency poker players, and 14 matched non-gambler controls, performed a modified version of the stop-signal paradigm, which required participants to inhibit categorization of poker or neutral pictures. The probability that a stop-signal occurs (0%, 17%, 25%, 33%) was manipulated across blocks of trials, as indicated by the color of the computer screen. Behavioral analyses revealed that poker players were faster than controls in categorizing pictures across all levels of proactive motor response inhibition (go trials). Brain imaging analyses highlighted higher dorsal anterior cingulate cortex activation in poker players, as compared to controls, during reactive inhibition. These findings suggest that, due to their faster rates of stimulus discrimination, poker players might have recruited more cognitive resources than controls when required to stop their response (reactive inhibition). Nevertheless, no main effect of stimulus type was found, on either proactive or reactive inhibition. Additional studies are, therefore, needed in order to confirm that investigating the dynamics between reactive and proactive inhibition offers a discriminative analysis of inhibitory control toward motivational-salient cues.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by the imbalance of two relatively independent processes-osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Calcineurin (Cn)/nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)(Cn/NFAT) signaling pathway is involved in these two processes in bone metabolism, but its potential as a target to treat osteoporosis needs to be defined. The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibition of polypeptide 11R-VIVIT onCn/NFAT signaling pathway. Rat calvaria (RC) cells were prepared from experimental model of osteoporosis in rat.11R-VIVIT wasused to treat cultured RC cells from wide type (WT) rat or from osteoporosis (OP) rat, we then measured the expressions of NFATc1, osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OC), cytokines, NFκB subunit p65 by real time PCR, western blot or immunofluorescence. Then ALP expression and staining, and alizarin red S (ARS) staining were employed to study the osteoblastodifferentiation. 11R-VIVIT regulates the expression of NFATc1, and some other molecules in Cn/NFAT signaling pathway, such as OPN and OC, at transcriptional level and protein level. Further, it can regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokine like IL-1beta, IL-10 and TNF-alpha and NFκB activity. Further, 11R-VIVIT can accelerate osteoblastodifferentiation of RC cells demonstrated by ALP and ARS staining.11R-VIVIT can stimulate the bone formation by decreasing NFATc1 expression and regulating the expression of inflammation related molecules.

Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to analyze the clinical characteristics and pituitary function of patients with primary empty sella (PES). Methods: The clinical data from 123 hospitalized adult patients with PES from January 2010 to May 2016 were retrospectively studied. Results: (1) The average age of the 123 (male 43, female 80) PES patients was (59.2±13.6) years (ranging 24-92 years), among whom 61% patients were in the age group between 50-69 years. (2) The symptoms of the patients included fatigue (56.1%), headache (34.1%), nausea and vomiting (17.9%), gonadal dysfunction (17.1%), visual disturbance (5.7%) and hypopituitarism crisis (3.3%). (3) Hypopituitarism was found in 66 of the 123 patients. Among them, 36.6%, 31.7% and 17.1% were central hypoadrenalism, hypogonadism, and hypothyroidism, respectively.The percentage of hypopituitarism in complete PES was significantly higher than that in partial PES (P<0.05). (4) Sixteen patients were concomitant with other autoimmune diseases including 11 patients with Graves' disease and 2 with Cushing's syndrome due to adrenal adenoma. Conclusions: The incidence of hypopituitarism in PES was 53.7%, in which the pituitary-adrenal axis hypofunction was more common. An overall evaluation of the pituitary function was essential for the patients who had headache and fatigue, or with suspected PES. The patients with hypopituitarism should be given hormone replacement therapy in time and followed up afterword.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of Moringa oleifera (MO) as a partial substitute of alfalfa hay on milk yield, nutrient apparent digestibility and serum biochemical indexes of dairy cows. MO was harvested at 120 days post-seeding. Fresh MO was cut, mixed with chopped oat hay (425:575 on a DM basis), ensiled and stored for 60 days. Sixty healthy Holstein dairy cows were allocated to one of three groups: NM (no MO or control), LM (low MO; 25% alfalfa hay and 50% maize silage were replaced by MO silage) or HM (high MO; 50% alfalfa hay and 100% maize silage were replaced by MO silage). The feeding trial lasted 35 days. The LM and HM diets did not affect dry matter (DM) intake, milk yield or milk composition (lactose, milk fat, milk protein and somatic cell count). The apparent digestibility of DM and NDF was lower for HM group than NM group. Additionally, there were no significant differences in serum biochemical indexes between the LM and NM groups. The HM group had lower serum concentrations of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and higher serum concentrations of urea than the NM group. The partial replacement of alfalfa hay (≤50%) and maize silage with MO silage had no negative effects on milk yield, in vivo nutrient apparent digestibility or serum biochemical indexes of lactating cows.

Abstract
Objective: Prostate cancer is commonly diagnosed among old men while younger men are rarely diagnosed with prostate cancer. In this study we identify clinical and pathological features of 154 patients with prostate cancer younger than 55 years old and to assist intreatment decisions. Methods: The medical records of 154 prostate cancer patients younger than 55 years old in Peking University First Hospital from Feb 1953 to Jun 2016 were reviewed, retrospectively. Data was collected including symptoms, digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Gleason score, tumor stage, treatment strategies. Results: The mean age was 50.9±4.5, and 25.3% patients were between 40-50 years. Fifty-six (36.4%) patients initially presented with lower urinary tract symptoms. A solid mass could be found by digital rectal examination in 48(31.2%) patients. All patients were diagnosed by pathology of biopsy or surgery. The median Gleason score was 8. Gleason 2-6, 3+ 4, 4+ 3, 8, 9-10 were 15 cases(9.7%), 28 cases(18.2%), 21 cases(13.6%), 15 cases(9.7%), 51 cases(33.1%), respectively. Based on 2009 AJCC TNM Classification criteria the distribution of tumor stage was T1, T2, T3, and T4 in 2(1.3%), 54 (35.1%), 60 (39.0%), and 37 (24.0%) patients. Forty patients (25.9%) were found with bone metastasis and four (2.5%) suffered from visceral metastasis. Fifty-three(34.4%)underwent hormonal therapy and 79(51.3%) underwent radical prostatectomy. Conclusion: Younger prostate caner patients usually presented with LUTS symptoms and were featured for higher tumor stage and aggressiveness. More optimal and personalized risk-based therapy options are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular disease is one of the diseases threatening human health. Myocardial fibrosis is a major cause of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that over expression of miR-203 can inhibit the fibrosis. Therefore, in this study, the effect of differential expression of miR-203 on fibrosis of cultured mouse cardiomyocytes was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Activators and inhibitors of miR-203 were designed according to the sequence of miR-203, synthesized, and transfected into mouse cardiomyocytes to establish activator group, inhibitor group, and control group. The expression levels of fibrosis-related factors including FN, CTGF, and TGF-β1 were measured by Western blot and RT-PCR 24 h and 36 h after transfection. RESULTS Over-expression of miR-203 in mouse cardiomyocytes significantly decreased the expression levels of TGF-β1, CTGF, and FN in a time-dependent manner, compared with that in the control group (p <0.05). Inhibition of miR-203 expression in mouse cardiomyocytes significantly increased the expression levels of TGF-β1, CTGF, and FN 36 h after transfection, compared with that in the control group (p < 0.05). No significant differences were seen in the expression levels of TGF-β1, CTGF, and FN 24 h after transfection, compared with that in the control group (p >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Over-expression of miR-203 in mouse cardiomyocytes significantly decreased the expression levels of TGF-β1, CTGF, and FN, which might be used as a detection index for prediction of fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the dynamic maternal measles antibody level in infants in Guangzhou. METHOD Women who delivered babies in a maternal and child health care hospital in Guangzhou and their infants who were never affected by measles were included in our study. All the serum samples collected from mothers and infants were tested by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)for the quantitative measurement of measles IgG antibodies. A longitudinal sero-epidemiological study was conducted to investigate the duration of the presence of measles maternal antibodies in infants based on the measurement at different time points(0, 3, 5, 7 month). RESULT A total of 689 mothers and their 691 infants(two pairs of twins)were included in the study. The concentration and the sero-positivity rate of measles antibody in mothers was 513.8 mIU/ml and 81.6% respectively. The concentration and the sero-positivity rate of measles antibody in infants was 732.8 mIU/ml and 87.3%, respectively. The measles antibody levels of newborns were positively associated with those of mothers(r=0.917 5, P<0.001), which declined rapidly at 3 months after birth and mostly turned to be negative at 7 months after birth. Measles antibody turned be negative at 3 months after birth in low, middle level groups, but remained to be positive in high level group at 5 months after birth. CONCLUSION The maternal measles antibody could rarely protect infants at age of 8 months even though mother had been vaccinated or acquired natural immunity. It is suggested to adjust the time of the first dose measles vaccination in infants and increase the measles antibody level of child bearing aged women to reduce the incidence of measles in infants.
