Abstract
Background Gastric cancer (GC) has a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. As a new promising cancer therapeutic approach, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells represent a potential GC treatment. We investigated the antitumor activity of CAR-T cells target-B7H3 in GC. Methods In our study, expression of B7H3 was examined in GC tissues and explored the tumoricidal potential of B7H3-targeting CAR-T cells in GC. B7H3-directed CAR-T cells with a humanized antigen-recognizing domain was generated. The anti-tumor effects of this CAR-T cell were finally investigated in vitro and in vivo. Results Our results show that B7H3-directed CAR-T cells efficiently killed GC tumor cells. In addition, we found that B7H3 is correlated with tumor cell stemness, and anti-B7H3 CAR-T can simultaneously target stem cell-like GC cells to improve the treatment outcome. Conclusions Our study indicates that B7H3 is an attractive target for GC therapy, and B7H3 has high potential for clinical application.

Abstract
This paper summaries the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies-of Environmental Exposure (ROBINS-E), a tool for evaluating risk of bias about non-randomized studies of exposures (NRSE), and introduces the application of ROBINS-E in a published NRSE. According to the characteristics of NRSE, evaluation fields and signaling questions were designed in ROBINS-E to provide essential information about risk of bias for NRSE included in systematic reviews and GRADE. ROBINS-E is the tool in assessment of risk of bias in observational studies and quasi-randomized studies. Although the tool has been used in practice to some extent, but it still needs further improvement. Attention should be paid to its update and progress.

Abstract
A pair of axially chiral organic enantiomers were facilely prepared through a one-pot sequential synthesis. They exhibit circularly polarized luminescence activities and have thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties. Meanwhile, these two enantiomers present remarkable and reversible thermochromism in the crystalline state, enabling dual-colour TADF switching between orange and red. However, when they form cocrystals, the resulting racemate shows opposite thermochromic behaviors. These intriguing results probably emanate from their different optical activities, leading to distinct molecular packing modes and molecular conformation variations. Moreover, information encryption based on thermochromism of organic enantiomers and their racemate has been presented for the first time. This work may expand the application scope of chiral organic luminogens and pave a new way to construct intelligent luminescent systems. A pair of axially chiral organic enantiomers with circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence and aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties show opposite thermochromic behaviors to their racemate.![]()

Abstract
Fast fashion, as a continuously growing part of the textile industry, is widely criticized for its excessive resource use and high generation of textiles. To reduce its environmental impacts, numerous efforts are focused on finding sustainable and eco-friendly approaches to textile recycling. However, waste textiles and fibers are still mainly disposed of in landfills or by incineration after their service life and thereby pollute the natural environment, as there is still no effective strategy to separate natural fibers from chemical fibers. Herein, a green chemistry strategy is developed for the separation and regeneration of waste textiles at the molecular level. Cellulose/wool keratin composite fibers and multicomponent fibers are regenerated from waste textiles via a green chemical process. The strategy attempts to reduce the large amount of waste textiles generated by the fast-developing fashion industry and provide a new source of fibers, which can also address the fossil fuel reserve shortages caused by chemical fiber industries and global food shortages caused by natural fiber production.

Abstract
Ruminating behavior accompanies the development of the rumen and the intake of solid feed in calves. However, few studies have reported on the emergence and development of rumination. In this study, we observed ruminating behavior changes of 56 Holstein calves (body weight at birth = 40.1 ± 3.96 kg; mean ± standard deviation) from birth to 30 d of age under the feeding management of suckling calves that were only fed pelleted concentrate feed and milk. All calves were housed in individual pens equipped with infrared cameras. We explored feed intake within 30 d of age, body weight on 61 d of age, and other apparent indicators, including the age of first eating the bedding, duration of non-nutritive oral behavior at 25 and 30 d of age, total starter feed intake within 30 d of age, average daily starter feed intake within 30 d of age, and duration of ruminating behavior at 25 and 30 d of age for all calves, to further explore the effects of the age of first ruminating behavior (AFR). The AFR fitted the normal distribution and ranged from 15 to 20 d of age for 50% of the experimental population. The AFR was positively correlated with the age of first eating the bedding and duration of non-nutritive oral behavior at 30 d of age. Total starter feed intake within 30 d of age, average daily starter feed intake within 30 d of age, duration of ruminating behavior at 25 and 30 d of age, and duration of eating the bedding at 25 and 30 d of age were negatively correlated with AFR. Overall, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has analyzed the correlation between AFR and other indicators. We found that earlier AFR was associated with shorter duration of non-nutritive oral behavior, longer durations of rumination and eating the bedding, and higher feed intake by 30 d of age.

Abstract
We evaluated the association between macrophage polarization and the development of pleural thickening in patients with tuberculous pleurisy. Patients with tuberculous pleurisy admitted to our hospital between October 2018 and March 2019 were prospectively recruited. Pleural fluid samples were obtained before treatment for detection of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and macrophage phenotype (M1: CD14+ CD86+; M2: CD14+ CD163+). Peripheral blood samples were subjected to interferon gamma release assay (IGRA). All subjects were administered standard anti-tuberculosis regimen (2HREZ/4HR); high-resolution CT was performed to determine pleural thickening (thickness>2mm) after completion of treatment. Pleural effusion in patients with thickened pleura had significantly more M1 but fewer M2 macrophages, and higher ADA level, as compared to those with normal pleura (P<0.05). No significant between-group difference was observed with respect to IGRA. In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the optimal cut-off level of M1/M2 ratio for predicting pleural thickening was 1.149 (area under the curve: 0.842; sensitivity: 88.6%; specificity: 69.2%; positive predictive value: 86.3%; negative predictive value: 81.7%). M1/M2 ratio in the pleural fluid is a promising marker for predicting the development of pleural thickening in patients with tuberculous pleurisy. Macrophage-mediated immune response may play an important role in the pathogenesis of tuberculous pleurisy.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the potential function of Acylglycerol Kinase (AGK) in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia(PE).
Summary answer
AGK plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PE by influencing the function of the trophoblast cells.
What is known already
PE is the leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The underlying mechanism is still not completely elucidated. Disorder migration, invasion and mitochondria function of trophoblast cells are one of mechanism in preeclampsia. AGK is a subunit of the mitochondrial channel protein complex TIM22, and maintain the stability of mitochondrial structure and function. Studies have shown that AGK is related to the development of various cancers by infecting the cells migration and invasion. It will be interesting to explore the potential function of AGK in the process of early trophoblast development and the pathogenesis of PE.
Study design, size, duration
Firstly, explore the expression of AGK in PE. Secondly, lentivirus systems was used to generate loss and gain of function models in trophoblast cell line-HTR8/Sneov to study the role of AGK in the pathogenesis of PE.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
We examined the expression of AGK both in placental tissues from PE patients and normal pregnant patients. Meanwhile, we generated AGK loss and gain of function models in HTR8/Sneov cells by using lentivirus systems. Transwell assays, scratch-wound assays, EDU and plate clone formation assays, cell apoptosis assays, cell cycle assays, ATP concentration, mtDNA level and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the function of AGK in HTR8/Sneov cells model.
Main results and the role of chance
In this study, AGK was significantly decreased in the extra-villous trophoblast (EVT) cells in placental tissues of PE patients compared with that in control group by immunohistochemistry. And further confirmed the expression of AGK in placental tissues by QPCR, western blot. We demonstrated that knockdown of AGK in HTR8 dramatically decreased the cell proliferation, migration and invasion. It also showed the significantly lower plate clone formation rate in AGK knockdown -HTR8 cells compare with the WT HTR8 cells. While overexpression of AGK in HTR8 dramatically increased the cell proliferation, migration, invasion and higher plate clone formation rate. Further, we demonstrated that AGK regulated the ATP level and mtDNA level in HTR8 cells model. And we found that knockdown AGK decreased the number of mitochondria, and shown the mitochondrial crista disorder, mitochondrial swelling and dissolution and mitochondrial membrane fragmentation. While overexpression AGK increased the number of mitochondria.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Although we show that AGK played an important role in the function of HTR8, the study of working mechanism of AGK in PE is still very limited. More studies will be performed to explore its underline mechanism.
Wider implications of the findings: This study was the first time to explore the role of AGK in PE. It will help us to better understand the pathogenesis of PE, which might be helpful in future application of novel therapeutic targets in PE.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a multi-state Markov model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and explore the transition rule between the cumulative number of different chronic complications, estimate the transition probability and intensity between status, and explore the possible factors affecting the transition between status. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 33 575 patients with T2DM was conducted. According to the baseline and the cumulative number of chronic complications during the follow-up period, the patients were classified based on five status: T2DM, one complication, two complications, three complications, four and above complication, indicated by S0, S1, S2, S3 and S4, respectively. A time-continuous and state-discrete multi-state irreversible Markov model was used for statistical analysis. Results: The study included 33 575 T2DM patients, and their average age was 60 years old, the median of follow-up length was 8 years. In these patients, 32 653 had no baseline complications. At the end of follow-up, the transition probabilities of S0→S1, S1→S2, S2→S3 and S3→S4 were 16.4%, 32.4%, 45.6% and 25.9%, respectively. The results of multivariate analysis showed that being female (HR=0.919), less than 60 years old (HR=0.929), higher fasting plasma glucose (HR=1.601), lower high-density lipoprotein (HR=1.087), higher total cholesterol (HR=1.090),weekly exercise (HR=0.897), vegetarian diet (HR=0.852) and heavy diet (HR=1.887) were the risk factors for S0 to S1. And being female (HR=0.768), less than 60 years old (HR=0.859) and lower high-density lipoprotein (HR=1.160) were the risk factors for S1 to S2. Conclusions: The probability of multiple complications in T2DM patients increased over time, the transition intensity of S2→S3 was largest, followed by S1→S2. Therefore, we need to conduct both early and long-term indicators monitoring and disease prevention, strengthen the health education to improve patients' daily living habits at early stage of the illness, encourage patients to have moderate exercise and balanced diet, strengthen the monitoring of fasting blood- glucose, cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein levels to prevent the deterioration of the illness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in gastric cancer (GC) and explore its biological and clinicopathological significance. OBJECTIVE We screened the candidate genes associated with the classification and prognosis of gastric cancer by analyzing GEO, Oncomine and TCGA datasets. The molecular pathways and protein interaction network involving these candidate genes were analyzed using STRING, GSEA, David and Cytoscape software. The expressions of the candidate genes in 28 pairs of gastric cancer and adjacent tissues were detected with qRTPCR, and CCK-8 assay, clone formation assay, wound healing assay and Transwell assay were carried out to analyze the effects of modulation of NNMT expression on proliferation, invasion and migration of different gastric cancer cell lines. OBJECTIVE NNMT was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and was negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. Pathway analysis showed that the high expression of NNMT was associated with adhesion-related pathway molecules such as extracellular matrix receptors, cell adhesion molecules, and cytokine receptors, while its low expression was associated with base mismatch repair and riboflavin metabolism. Protein interaction analysis showed that NNMT interacted with 16 differentially expressed proteins such as AURKA and was co-expressed with TAGLN, PTRF, AKAP12 and IGF2BP2. In clinical tissue specimens, qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of NNMT mRNA was significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0.05). In gastric cancer cell lines, overexpression of NNMT was found to significantly promote cell proliferation, invasion and migration, while NNMT knockdown produced obvious inhibitory effects on cell proliferation, invasion and migration. OBJECTIVE NNMT is highly expressed in gastric cancer and negatively correlated with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. The high expression of NNMT promotes the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells, suggesting the potential of NNMT as prognostic marker of gastric cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the expression, function, and regulation mechanism of the long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) tubulin alpha 4b (TUBA4B) in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cancer and adjacent tissues were collected from 60 CRC patients. CRC cell lines SW480, SW620, HCT116, Caco-2, DLD-1 and HT29, and colonic epithelial cell line CCD841 were also enrolled. Then, the expression of TUBA4B in CRC tissues and cell lines was detected via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). In vitro assays [cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, clone formation assay, and flow cytometry] were performed to study the biological function of TUBA4B in CRC. Additionally, the downstream regulatory targets of TUBA4B were investigated through Western blotting analysis and qRT-PCR assay. RESULTS The results of qRT-PCR revealed that compared with adjacent tissues, the expression of TUBA4B was down-regulated in 47/60 CRC tissues (47/60, 78.3%). According to in vitro assays (CCK-8 assay, clone formation assay, and flow cytometry), over-expression of TUBA4B inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of CRC cells. TUBA4B remarkably regulated mRNA and protein levels of p15 and p16. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA TUBA4B is down-regulated expression in CRC tissues and cells, which facilitates CRC cell proliferation and suppresses apoptosis by regulating the expressions of p15 and p16.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role and regulate the target of miRNA-411 on spinal cord injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS The microglia cultured in vitro was activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to express the inflammatory phenotype. The inflammatory response through miRNA-411 transfection in microglia was measured to certain whether increased miRNA-411 suppressed interleukin-18 (IL-18) level to attenuate the inflammation amplification via downregulating JNK pathway. Furthermore, we established spinal cord injury (SCI) model in SD rats and further explored the glial inflammatory degree and neurological recovery following miRNA-411 treatment. Lastly, we estimated the hindlimbs function of SCI rats with miRNA-411 administration or not within four weeks at post-SCI. RESULTS In vitro, miRNA-411 inhibited IL-18 expression and downregulated JNK pathway, along with that inflammatory microglia were declined. In SCI rats, we detected the decreased amounts of inflammatory microglia and reduction of the inflammatory factors after miRNA-411 treatment. IL-18 and JNK pathway was also restrained resulted from increased miRNA-411. In addition, apoptosis degree in injury site reduced and survived axons were relatively multiple in the miRNA-411 group compared with the SCI group. The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor scores of miRNA-411 treated rats were superior to those in rats with no treatment. CONCLUSIONS MiRNA-411 increase ameliorates the inflammatory microglia-induced neurological lesion and promotes neural recovery by JNK pathway inhibition via negative targeting IL-18 in SCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The burden of multimorbidity is increasing worldwide; however, little is known about trends in multimorbidity prevalence among Chinese older adults. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and trends of multimorbidity in community-dwelling older adults in Beijing. DESIGN Longitudinal. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Residents of Beijing aged ≥60 years. MEASUREMENTS Data were derived from the Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging, using cluster, stratification, and random sampling. A total of 1842, 2914, and 1837 participants were included in the 2004, 2011, and 2017 sample, respectively. Multimorbidity was defined as the presence of two or more chronic conditions. Trends in multimorbidity were examined by age, sex, and geographical area. RESULTS The prevalence of multimorbidity was 32.5%, 52.9%, and 53.2% in 2004, 2011, and 2017, respectively, following an upward trend over time (P =0.003). A similar multimorbidity increase trend was present in age-, sex-, and region-stratified analysis for the 2004-2017 period (all P<0.05). The most common chronic diseases in 2004 were hypertension (34.3%), cataract (18.2%), coronary heart disease (CHD) (15.6%), stroke (14.3%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (7.9%); in 2011, these were hypertension (49.6%), arthritis (30.9%), CHD (22.3%), stroke (21.9%), and diabetes (15.1%); in 2017, these were hypertension (54.4%), arthritis (26.3%), stroke (22.6%), cataract (20.5%), and CHD (20.1%). The proportion of older adults diagnosed with ≥3 chronic diseases significantly increased from 13.4% in 2004 to 73.1% in 2011 and 69.5% in 2017. CONCLUSIONS Multimorbidity is common and the overall and age-, sex-, and region-specific multimorbidity prevalence has been increasing over the past 13 years. Public health policies should account for the more complex care needs and growing costs associated with increasing prevalence of chronic disease and multimorbidity in Chinese older adults.
