Abstract
AIM To test the hypothesis that computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could help distinguish between giant cell tumours with prominent aneurysmal bone cysts (GABCs) and primary aneurysmal bone cysts (PABCs) of the extremities. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT and MRI features of 13 patients with GABCs and 13 patients with PABCs in the extremities were analysed retrospectively. The ages and sex of the patients were also recorded. Independent-samples t-tests were used for continuous variables and Fisher's exact tests were used for categorical variables to compare the differences between the two groups. Diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and interobserver agreement were calculated. RESULTS The average age of patients with GABCs (38.2±15.8 years) was higher than that of patients with PABCs (19.3±12.7 years; p=0.003). The transverse/longitudinal diameter ratio was different between GABCs (0.8±0.3) and PABCs (0.6±0.2; p=0.007). Subchondral bone involvement (92.3% versus 30.8%, p=0.004) and deep lobulation (38.5% versus 0%, p=0.039) were more likely to be noted in patients with GABCs. Surrounding blood vessels were identified in six cases of PABCs (6/13), but not in GABCs (p=0.015). The following characteristics were suggestive of GABCs, older patient age, higher transverse/longitudinal diameter ratio, subchondral bone involvement, and deep lobulation indicated a sensitivity of 84.6%, 76.9%, 75%, and 100%, and a specificity of 84.6%, 69.2%, 90%, and 61.9%, respectively. Conversely, surrounding blood vessels were suggestive of PABCs, with a sensitivity of 46.2% and specificity of 100%. The concordance between the two readers was moderate to nearly perfect. CONCLUSION Age, subchondral bone involvement, lobulation, transverse/longitudinal diameter ratio, and surrounding blood vessels can be used to distinguish GABCs from PABCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ovarian cancer is a common malignant cancer among women. Increasing studies have demonstrated that microRNAs function as important regulation factors in the progression of ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human ovarian cancer cell lines HO8910 and OVCAR-3 were transfected with miR-934 inhibitor and corresponding negative control (inhibitor control). Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and TUNEL assay, respectively. The expression levels of proliferation/apoptosis-related genes and BRMS1L were measured by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. Furthermore, the association between miR-934 and BRMS1L was investigated through luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS MiR-934 was significantly increased in ovarian cancer cell lines, whereas BRMS1L was significantly decreased. Downregulated miR-934 remarkably inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, miR-934 could influence the expression levels of Ki67, Cyclin D1, Caspase3, and Bcl-2. In addition, BRMS1L was identified as a target gene of miR-934. CONCLUSIONS Oncogene miR-934 promotes ovarian cancer cell proliferation and inhibits cell apoptosis through targeting BRMS1L. MiR-934 and BRMS1L may be novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets for ovarian cancer in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ovarian cancer (OC) is the third frequently tumor worldwide. MicroRNA-99a (miR-99a), acting as a tumor suppressor, has been reported to be downregulated in multiple tumors. We aimed at exploring the significant roles of miR-99a in ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting were applied to calculate the mRNA and protein levels of miR-99a and its target genes. Kaplan-Meier method was conducted to evaluate the overall survival of ovarian cancer patients. CCK8 and transwell assays were performed to measure the proliferative and invasive abilities. RESULTS miR-99a, acting as a prognosis predictor, was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines. miR-99a mediated the expression of homeobox A1 (HOXA1) through directly targeting to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of its mRNA in ovarian cancer cell lines. miR-99a inhibited the proliferation of ovarian cancer by AKT/mTOR pathway in vitro and in vivo, and it suppressed the invasion-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through direct targeting to the 3'-UTR of HOXA1 mRNA. CONCLUSIONS miR-99a suppressed the proliferation through AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and the invasion-mediated EMT in ovarian cancer. The newly identified miR-99a/HOXA1/AKT/mTOR axis provides novel insight into the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) frequently exhibited abnormal levels in numerous tumors and other diseases in current biological researches. LINC01287, a newly discovered lncRNA, has been found to act as an oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this research was to explore the expressions and functions of LINC01287 in breast cancer (BC). PATIENTS AND METHODS The relative expressions of LINC01287 in BC tissues and cells were determined using RT-PCR. The associations between the LINC01287 expression, the clinicopathological factors, and the overall survival of BC patients were statistically examined. The apoptosis and proliferation abilities of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cells were analyzed by MTT and flow cytometry assay after LINC01287 knockdown. The effects of LINC01287 in migration and invasion were determined using wound-healing and transwell assays. The protein expressions of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway were determined using Western blot. RESULTS We showed that the levels of LINC01287 were significantly upregulated in BC tissues and BC cell lines, and the abnormal expressions of LINC01287 were correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. A distinct difference was observed and indicated that BC patients with higher LINC01287 expressions had significantly shorter overall survival than patients with lower LINC01287 expressions. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that LINC01287 expression was independently correlated with the overall survival. Si-LINC01287 transfection significantly inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of BC cells, and further promoted apoptosis. Besides, the knockdown of LINC01287 suppressed Wnt/β-catenin activation and affected the expressions of β-catenin, cyclin D1, and c-myc. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that the new lncRNA LINC01287 was correlated with poor clinical outcome and may function as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in the development of antineoplastic therapies for BC.

Abstract
Objective: To study the value of color doppler ultrasonography (CDU) in diagnosis of impending ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (IRAAA). Methods: A total of 35 cases with IRAAA which were identified by CDU in our department from June 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were detected by computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The types, length of the neck of aneurysm, largest diameter, thrombosis, involvement of common iliac artery and impending ruptured conditions were compared. The postoperative patients were followed-up by CDU and CTA (mean time was 2.6 months). Results: Among 35 patients, CDU diagnosed that 5 cases were pararenal types and 30 cases were infrarenal types. CTA showed that 4 cases were pararenal types and 31 cases were infrarenal types. The misdiagnosis rate of CDU was 2.9% (1/35). CDU showed that bilateral common iliac arteries were involved in 21 cases, right common iliac arteries were involved in 3 cases, and left common iliac arteries were involved in 2 cases. CTA detected the same results. There was no statistical difference between CDU and CTA for detection of the largest anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter and the thickness of thrombosis (P values were 0.354, 0.310 and 0.865). There was statistical difference in the detection of the length of the aneurysm's neck (P=0.006). CDU showed 3 cases of focal wall discontinuity, 4 cases of hyperattenuating crescent sign, 3 cases of thrombus fissuration and 2 cases of saclike protuberance, which were consistent with the detection of CTA. CDU showed that locally thin wall of aneurysm was detected in the rest of 23 cases. CTA showed 2 patients were negative. The misdiagnosis rate of CDU was 5.7% (2/35). Three cases did not undergo surgery. Open repairs (OR) were performed in 5 cases. Endovascular aneurysm repairs (EVAR) were performed in 27 cases. The postoperative patients were followed up by CDU and CTA at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. All the artificial blood vessels and stents were patent. Endoleak was observed in 5 cases. Aneurysm sac thrombosis was found in the rest of the cases. Conclusions: CDU plays an important role in the analysis and diagnosis of the size, range, and the impending ruptured symptoms of the aneurysm. It provides a reliable basis for IRAAA screening, diagnosis and postoperative follow-up, and has important clinical value.

Abstract
Lower eyelid retraction or ectropion bring suffering to the patients both physically and mentally. Efforts to explore pertinent surgical treatments are still needed. Here we have described our preferred surgical technique for lower eyelid ectropion repair with pre-expanded island forehead flaps or pedicled forehead flaps. Between July 2007 and March 2017, a retrospective review of 12 patients who suffered from cicatricial lower eyelid ectropion as a result of trauma, surgery, or infection was conducted. Forehead skin flap based on the superficial temporal artery was expanded depending on the area of defect of the lower eyelid. Tissue expansion, flap transfer, pedicle delaying and division were involved in this process. There were no major complications, such as expander exposure, infection, haematoma or large skin flap necrosis in all the 12 patients. Venous congestion was reported in two patients. No recurrent ectropion was noted in any patient. During the three-month to two-year follow-up all patients were satisfied with the results in terms of the skin texture, colour, and flexibility after the treatment with an expanded forehead skin flap. This study suggests that expanded forehead skin flaps are effective for correction of cicatricial lower eyelid ectropion.

Abstract
A T. spiralis serine protease 1.2 (TsSP1.2) was identified in the muscle larvae (ML) and intestinal larvae surface/excretory-secretory (ES) proteins by immunoproteomics. The aim of this study was to determine the TsSP1.2 function in the process of T. spiralis intrusion, growth and reproduction by using RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi was used to silence the expression of TsSP1.2 mRNA and protein in the nematode. On 2 days after the ML were electroporated with 2 µM of TsSP1.2-specific siRNA 534, TsSP1.2 mRNA and protein expression declined in 56.44 and 84.48%, respectively, compared with untreated ML. Although TsSP1.2 silencing did not impair worm viability, larval intrusion of intestinal epithelium cells (IEC) was suppressed by 57.18% (P < 0.01) and the suppression was siRNA-dose dependent (r = 0.976). Infection of mice with siRNA 534 transfected ML produced a 57.16% reduction of enteral adult burden and 71.46% reduction of muscle larva burden (P < 0.05). Moreover, silencing of TsSP1.2 gene in ML resulted in worm development impediment and reduction of female fertility. The results showed that silencing of TsSP1.2 by RNAi inhibited larval intrusion and development, and reduced female fecundity. TsSP1.2 plays a crucial role for worm invasion and development in T. spiralis life cycle, and is a potential vaccine/drug target against Trichinella infection.

Abstract
Objective: To compare left ventricular myocardial mechanics detected by cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking(CMR-TT) between patients with constrictive pericarditis(CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy(RCM),and see if those can be used to differentiate CP from RCM patients. Methods: A total of 23 patients with CP, 20 patients with RCM, who hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2014 to April 2019 were included in this study and 25 healthy subjects served as control group, all subjects underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination. Myocardial mechanics were evaluated by 2-dimensional(2D) and 3-dimensional(3D) CMR-TT in terms of global longitudinal strain(GLS), circumferential strain(GCS), radial strain(GRS) and the lateral wall strain to septal wall strain ratio(lateral/septal ratio) of basal, mid-cavity and apical. The diagnostic area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was evaluated for differentiating CP from RCM. Results: Age, sex and heart rate were similar between CP and RCM patients(all P>0.05). 2D-GLS, 3D-GLS, GCS and GRS in CP and RCM groups were significantly lower than those in normal control group(all P<0.05).3D-GLS value was significantly lower in RCM patients than in CP patients(P<0.05), the area under the curve (AUC)=0.787(sensitivity 80%, specificity 78%). 3D-GCS was significantly lower in CP group than in RCM group(P<0.05), the AUC=0.737(sensitivity 80%, specificity 65%). However, there was no significant difference between CP and RCM in 3D-GRS(P>0.05). Compared with RCM, the circumferential and radial lateral/septal ratios of the basal were significantly lower in CP group than in RCM group(both P<0.05), AUC=0.737(sensitivity 70%, specificity 83%) and 0.737 (sensitivity 60%, specificity 87%), respectively. The left ventricular myocardial mechanics strain curve of the CP,RCM and normal control were different. The CP patients presented as " rapidly down-a platform" form, the RCM presented as "slowly down" form, and normal control presented as "rapidly down" form. Conclusion: Evaluating the differences in the diastolic process of left ventricular myocardium and left ventricular myocardial mechanics strain curve is helpful to differentiate CP from RCM patients.

Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the development of many cancers. However, studies on the effect of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) on the proliferation, metastasis and apoptosis of CRC are still few. Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to determine the expression levels of SNHG16, microRNA-132-3p (miR-132-3p) and ubiquitin specific peptidase 22 (USP22). The proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of CRC cells were evaluated by the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2 thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, flow cytometry and transwell assay, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the interactions among SNHG16, miR-132-3p and USP22. Also, Western blot analysis was used to assess the protein levels of USP22 and metastasis-related markers. Moreover, mice xenograft models were used to determine the effect of SNHG16 on CRC tumor growth in vivo. Results SNHG16 was highly expressed in CRC tissues and cells. Knockdown of SNHG16 reduced the proliferation, migration, invasion, and promoted the apoptosis of CRC cells. MiR-132-3p could interact with SNHG16, and its inhibitor recovered the suppression effect of silenced SNHG16 on CRC cell progression. Besides, USP22 was a target of miR-132-3p, and its overexpression restored the inhibition effect of miR-132-3p mimic on CRC cell progression. In addition, interference of SNHG16 reduced CRC tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion LncRNA SNHG16 might act as an oncogene in CRC. The discovery of the SNHG16/miR-132-3p/USP22 pathway provided new thinking for the treatment of CRC.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has revealed a significant association between microorganisms and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Porphyromonas gingivalis, the keystone pathogen in chronic periodontitis, is considered an important potential etiologic agent of OSCC, but the underlying immune mechanisms through which P. gingivalis mediates tumor progression of the oral cancer remain poorly understood. Our cohort study showed that the localization of P. gingivalis in tumor tissues was related to poor survival of patients with OSCC. Moreover, P. gingivalis infection increased oral lesion multiplicity and size and promoted tumor progression in a 4-nitroquinoline-1 oxide (4NQO)–induced carcinogenesis mouse model by invading the oral lesions. In addition, CD11b+ myeloid cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) showed increased infiltration of oral lesions. Furthermore, in vitro observations showed that MDSCs accumulated when human-derived dysplastic oral keratinocytes (DOKs) were exposed to P. gingivalis, and CXCL2, CCL2, interleukin (IL)–6, and IL-8 may be potential candidate genes that facilitate the recruitment of MDSCs. Taken together, our findings suggest that P. gingivalis promotes tumor progression by generating a cancer-promoting microenvironment, indicating a close relationship among P. gingivalis, tumor progression of the oral cancer, and immune responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and compare it with RT-PCR. METHODS We designed primers specific to the orf1ab and S genes of SARS-CoV-2. Total viral RNA was extracted using the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit. We optimized the RT-LAMP assay, and evaluated it for its sensitivity and specificity of detection using real-time turbidity monitoring and visual observation. RESULTS The primer sets orf1ab-4 and S-123 amplified the genes in the shortest times, the mean (±SD) times were 18 ± 1.32 min and 20 ± 1.80 min, respectively, and 63°C was the optimum reaction temperature. The sensitivities were 2 × 101 copies and 2 × 102 copies per reaction with primer sets orf1ab-4 and S-123, respectively. This assay showed no cross-reactivity with 60 other respiratory pathogens. To describe the availability of this method in clinical diagnosis, we collected 130 specimens from patients with clinically suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among them, 58 were confirmed to be positive and 72 were negative by RT-LAMP. The sensitivity was 100% (95% CI 92.3%-100%), specificity 100% (95% CI 93.7%-100%). This assay detected SARS-CoV-2 in a mean (±SD) time of 26.28 ± 4.48 min and the results can be identified with visual observation. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that we developed a rapid, simple, specific and sensitive RT-LAMP assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection among clinical samples. It will be a powerful tool for SARS-CoV-2 identification, and for monitoring suspected patients, close contacts and high-risk groups.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and incidence of left atrial spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (LASEC) in the patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: Four hundred and ninety consecutive patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency ablation for the first time from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 in the Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital were enrolled. According to the results of transesophageal echocardiography before radiofrequency ablation, patients were divided into the group without LASEC (n=338) and the group with LASEC (n=152). hs-CRP was determined by latex enhanced immunoturbidimetry. The relationship between hs-CRP and LASEC in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation was investigated by univariate and multivariate logistic analysis. Results: LASEC was detected in 152 (31%) of 490 patients. Significant differences in age, type of atrial fibrillation, previous embolic events, fibrinogen, D-dimer, the left atrial anteroposterior diameter and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores were found between patients with and without LASEC (all P<0.05). Compared with the group without LASEC, the serum hs-CRP level was significantly higher in the group with LASEC (3.16 (1.30, 5.23) mg/L vs. 0.67 (0.37, 1.48) mg/L, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hs-CRP (OR=1.136, 95%CI 1.060 - 1.217, P<0.001) and D-dimer (OR=1.040, 95%CI 1.011 - 1.070, P=0.007) were independent determinants for LASEC in this patient cohort. Conclusions: hs-CRP is an independent determinant for LASEC in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Inflammation may thus be involved in the formation of prethrombotic state in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
Endostar (ES) inhibits metastasis in some tumors, but its role in ovarian cancer invasion has not been elucidated. In this study, the effects of ES on ovarian cancer cells were further analyzed, to excavate an effective strategy for treating ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV3 and HO-8910PM) were treated with different concentrations of ES. Cell activity and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) detected by MTT were used for subsequent experiments. The migration and invasion abilities of treated cells were detected by wound healing and Transwell assays. The expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins in treated cells were determined by western blot analysis. Moreover, in vitro angiogenesis, the expressions of related proteins in treated cells and STAT3, and PD-L1 expressions were determined. We found that with the increase of ES concentrations, the cell activity showed a decreasing trend, and that the compositive IC50 of SKOV3 and HO-8910PM was 50 μg/ml. Moreover, ES observably inhibited migration, invasion, and EMT of ovarian cancer cell lines. In angiogenesis experiments, the angiogenesis ability and the expressions of related proteins in ovarian cancer cell lines were downregulated after ES treatment. Furthermore, ES reduced the expression of PD-L1 and suppressed the phosphorylation of STAT3 in ovarian cancer cell lines. ES blocked the metastasis, invasion, and angiogenesis of ovarian cancer cells by suppressing the activation of PD-L1 and STAT3, which might be considered as the potential mechanism of ES in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Quantum entanglement involving coherent superpositions of macroscopically distinct states is among the most striking features of quantum theory, but its realization is challenging because such states are extremely fragile. Using a programmable quantum simulator based on neutral atom arrays with interactions mediated by Rydberg states, we demonstrate the creation of "Schrödinger cat" states of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type with up to 20 qubits. Our approach is based on engineering the energy spectrum and using optimal control of the many-body system. We further demonstrate entanglement manipulation by using GHZ states to distribute entanglement to distant sites in the array, establishing important ingredients for quantum information processing and quantum metrology.

Abstract
Spirometra larvae are etiological agents of human sparganosis. However, the systematics of spirometrid cestodes has long been controversial. In order to determine the current knowledge on the evolution and genetic structure of Spirometra, an exhaustive population diversity analysis of spirometrid cestodes using the mitochondrial gene: cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) was performed. All publicly available cox1 sequences available in the GenBank and 127 new sequencing genes from China were used as the dataset. The haplotype identify, network, genetic differentiation and phylogenetic analysis were conducted successively. A total of 488 sequences from 20 host species, representing four spirometrid tapeworms (S. decipiens, S. ranarum, S. erinaceieuropaei and Sparganum proliferum) and several unclassified American and African isolates from 113 geographical locations in 17 countries, identified 45 haplotypes. The genetic analysis revealed that there are four clades of spirometrid cestodes: Clade 1 (Brazil + USA) and Clade 2 (Argentina + Venezuela) included isolates from America, Clade 3 contained African isolates and one Korean sample, and the remainders from Asia and Australia belonged to Clade 4; unclassified Spirometra from America and Africa should be considered the separate species within the genus; and the taxonomy of two Korea isolates (S. erinaceieuropaei KJ599680 and S. decipiens KJ599679) was still ambiguous and needs to be further identified. In addition, the demographical analyses supported population expansion for the total spirometrid population. In summary, four lineages were found in the spirometrid tapeworm, and further investigation with deeper sampling is needed to elucidate the population structure.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features, laboratory tests, imaging features, electroencephalogram (EEG) manifestations, treatment and prognosis of anti-CASPR2 antibody-associated autoimmune encephalitis with the purpose to improve the understanding of the disease. Methods: Seven patients diagnosed with CASPR2 antibody-associated encephalitis in the Fifth and first Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to January 2019 were selected. The clinical manifestations, course of disease, imaging, treatment plan and prognosis of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of the 7 patients, 4 were male and 3 were female. The median age of onset was 34 years old (range, 11-66 years). Seizures (6/7), memory decline(5/7), and neuropsychiatric disorders (4/7) were common clinical manifestations. CASPR2 antibody was detected in the CSF of 3 patients (3/7) and the serum of all patients (7/7). Notable imaging changes were observed in 5 patients (5/7). All patients received immunotherapy and were followed up for 1 month to 2 years. One patient was diagnosed with rectal cancer with a poor prognosis; all the others got a good prognosis. Conclusions: CASPR2 antibody-related encephalitis is a rare autoimmune disease. It is considered to present with seizures, memory loss, psychiatric symptoms, dizziness and sleep disorders as the main clinical manifestations. Early identification and treatment of the disease can help the patients achieve a good prognosis.

Abstract
Reduction is one of the most difficult steps in condylar fracture surgery, and a key factor governing the postoperative outcome. In this study we evaluated quantitatively the effects of a digitised condylar retractor on the duration and rate of reduction. In a prospective, randomised, controlled clinical trial, 48 patients with unilateral condylar fractures who were listed for surgical treatment were randomised to an experimental and a control group (n=24 in each). The experimental group was treated with a digitised condylar retractor, and the control group with traditional surgical instruments only. The primary outcome variables were duration and rate of reduction. The continuity correction chi squared test and independent samples t test were used for statistical analyses. The results showed that the mean reduction time was 21.3minutes in the experimental group and 42.4minutes in the control group (p=2.48*10-8, <0.001). The reduction rate was 21/24 in the experimental group and 17/24 in the control group (p=0.16). The results indicated that the mean duration of reduction was significantly shorter, and the reduction rate was higher, in the experimental group than among controls. In conclusion, the digitised condylar retractor can assist surgeons to improve efficiency and accuracy in the reduction of condylar fractures, so it merits promotion as an aid to their surgical treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of miR-106a-5p on the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells, and the possible target gene of miR-106a-5p in endothelial cells. Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured in vitro, and the expression of mir-106a-5p in HUVECs was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and wound healing assays were used to detected the proliferation and migration of HUVECs respectively.Dual luciferase repoter assay was used to identify the possible target gene of miR-106a-5p--STAT3. Results: mir-106a-5p inhibited the proliferation function of HUVECs (F=13.62, P<0.01). And mir-106a-5p expressed the migration of HUVEC,the closure rate in the mimic group was reduced after 12 h and 24 h of scratching (49.93/31.31) (χ(2)=8.240, P<0.05), (78.87/44.80) (χ(2)=10.50, P<0.01). The direct target gene of mir-106a-5p was STAT3, and miR-106a-5p regulated the expression of STAT3 through post-transcriptionally controlling. Conclusion: mir-106a-5p could inhibit proliferation and migration of HUVEC, and the possible target gene was STAT3.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) . Methods: Data from 10 440 patients with AF who had undergone transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) before cardioversion or catheter ablation at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from April 2006 to December 2018 were retrospectively screened. Two hundred and five HCM patients were included, 820 AF patients with the same CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score over the same period were selected as the control group. HCM patients were divided into two subgroups based on presence or absence of LAA thrombus/sludge. The baseline of clinical information, transthoracic echocardiographic and TEE measures were compared among all the groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of left atrial diameter (LAD) for LAA thrombus/sludge. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the correlative factors of LAA thrombus/sludge in HCM patients. Results: The incidences of LAA thrombus or sludge were higher in HCM group than in control group (10.7% (22/205) vs. 0.7% (6/820); 8.8% (18/205) vs.7.0% (57/820), P<0.001) . In HCM patients, LAD was significantly larger in LAA thrombus/sludge subjects than in those without thrombus/sludge ((48.9±5.1)mm vs. (45.2±6.1) mm, P<0.001). CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score was similar between the two subgroups ((2.0±1.4) vs. (1.8±1.4), P>0.05). There was no difference in the rate of patients with a CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores ≥2 between the subgroups(62.5% (25/40) vs. 57.0% (94/165), P=0.525). The incidences of LAA thrombus in HCM and AF patients with CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores of 0, 1 and 2 were 8.8% (3/34) , 9.6% (5/52) , 11.8% (11/119) , respectively; and the rate of LAA sludge were 8.8% (3/52) , 7.7% (4/52) , 9.2% (11/119) , respectively. The cut off value of LAD for the diagnosis of LAA thrombus/sludge was 44.5 mm. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LAD≥44.5 mm (OR=5.134, 95%CI 1.862-14.156, P=0.002) , non-paroxysmal AF (OR=2.782, 95%CI 1.238-6.252, P=0.013) , previous thromboembolism or stroke (OR=1.820, 95%CI 0.774-4.227, P=0.017) were independent determinants of LAA thrombus/sludge. Conclusions: The incidence of LAA thrombus/sludge is higher in patients with HCM and AF than in AF patients without HCM. The CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score is similar between HCM and AF patients with LAA thrombus/sludge and those without thrombus/sludge. Patients with CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score 0-1 are also likely to suffer LAA thrombus/sludge. Left atrial enlargement is associated with LAA thrombus/sludge.

Abstract
We used computational and experimental biology approaches to identify candidate mechanisms of action of aTraditional Chinese Medicine, Compound Kushen Injection (CKI), in a breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). Because CKI is a complex mixture of plant secondary metabolites, we used a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractionation and reconstitution approach to define chemical fractions required for CKI to induce apoptosis. The initial fractionation separated major from minor compounds, and it showed that major compounds accounted for little of the activity of CKI. Furthermore, removal of no single major compound altered the effect of CKI on cell viability and apoptosis. However, simultaneous removal of two major compounds identified oxymatrine and oxysophocarpine as critical with respect to CKI activity. Transcriptome analysis was used to correlate compound removal with gene expression and phenotype data. Many compounds in CKI are required to trigger apoptosis but significant modulation of its activity is conferred by a small number of compounds. In conclusion, CKI may be typical of many plant based extracts that contain many compounds in that no single compound is responsible for all of the bioactivity of the mixture and that many compounds interact in a complex fashion to influence a network containing many targets.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the changes of surgical invitations on necrotizing pancreatitis in recent 14 years by reviewing single center data. Methods: One thousand and eighty patients with necrotizing pancreatitis who received surgical invitation were involved in the study.All the patients were treated at Department of Pancreatic Surgery,Union Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2005 to December 2018. Six hundred and seventy-eight were males and 402 were females. The median (range) age of the study patients was 45 (20-76) years.The etiology of the disease was related to cholelithiasis in 335 cases(31.02%), hyperlipemia in 302 cases(27.96%), alcohol in 226 cases(20.93%), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in 28 cases(2.59%), pregnancy in 50 cases(4.63%), idiopathic factors in 72 cases(6.67%) and other causes in 67 cases(6.20%). The patients were divided into two groups according to the time of admission. Group 1 included 1 475 patients that admitted from January 2005 to December 2010, and group 2 included 1 539 patients that admitted from January 2011 to December 2018. The surgical interventions, morbidity and mortality of the two group were compared, and χ(2) test was used for the statistical test. Results: Two hundred and sixty-six among the 1 080 cases were treated with drainage procedures because of the pseudocyst.One hundred and seventy-five drainage procedures were performed between January 2005 and December 2018, which account for 11.87%(175 /1 475) of all patients of necrotizing pancreatitis; 91 drainage procedures were performed between January 2011 and December 2018,which account for 5.91%(91/1 539) of all patients of necrotizing pancreatitis. Eight hundred and fourteen cases received surgical intervention for infection of necrotizing tissues. Of these cases, 410 cases received percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD) of retroperitoneal fluid or residual infection. Debridement of necrotic tissues was performed on 756 cases. Of these cases, 32 cases received minimal invasive retroperitoneal debridement with/without denotes video assistant,4 cases received transluminal endoscopic debridement, 21 cases received laparoscopic debridement, and 709 cases received open laparotic debridement.Three hundred and sixty-five cases were admitted to our institute during January 2005 to December 2010, and the other 391 cases were admitted to our institute from January 2011 to December 2018. Of the first period, all debridement were performed with open laparotic procedures. Of the second period,debridement were performed with open laparotic procedures and minimal invasive procedures. The average times of surgical invasion, morbidity of principal local complications and mortality of the two periods were 1.27 and 1.34,28.22%(103/365) and 29.92%(117/346),and 6.03%(23/365) and 6.91%(27/346), respectively. Conclusions: Minimal invasive procedures can be considered for debridement in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis in some selected conditions.The involvements of minimal invasive procedures in treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis don't decrease the morbidity of principal local complications and mortality in recent years. Rational surgical procedures and appropriate surgical timing are the keys to improve the efficacy of necrotizing pancreatitis.

The median (range) age of the study patients was 45 (20-76) years.The etiology of the disease was related to cholelithiasis in 335 cases(31.02%), hyperlipemia in 302 cases(27.96%), alcohol in 226 cases(20.93%), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in 28 cases(2.59%), pregnancy in 50 cases(4.63%), idiopathic factors in 72 cases(6.67%) and other causes in 67 cases(6.20%). The patients were divided into two groups according to the time of admission. Group 1 included 1 475 patients that admitted from January 2005 to December 2010, and group 2 included 1 539 patients that admitted from January 2011 to December 2018. The surgical interventions, morbidity and mortality of the two group were compared, and χ(2) test was used for the statistical test. Results: Two hundred and sixty-six among the 1 080 cases were treated with drainage procedures because of the pseudocyst.One hundred and seventy-five drainage procedures were performed between January 2005 and December 2018, which account for 11.87%(175 /1 475) of all patients of necrotizing pancreatitis; 91 drainage procedures were performed between January 2011 and December 2018,which account for 5.91%(91/1 539) of all patients of necrotizing pancreatitis. Eight hundred and fourteen cases received surgical intervention for infection of necrotizing tissues. Of these cases, 410 cases received percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD) of retroperitoneal fluid or residual infection. Debridement of necrotic tissues was performed on 756 cases. Of these cases, 32 cases received minimal invasive retroperitoneal debridement with/without denotes video assistant,4 cases received transluminal endoscopic debridement, 21 cases received laparoscopic debridement, and 709 cases received open laparotic debridement.Three hundred and sixty-five cases were admitted to our institute during January 2005 to December 2010, and the other 391 cases were admitted to our institute from January 2011 to December 2018. Of the first period, all debridement were performed with open laparotic procedures. Of the second period,debridement were performed with open laparotic procedures and minimal invasive procedures. The average times of surgical invasion, morbidity of principal local complications and mortality of the two periods were 1.27 and 1.34,28.22%(103/365) and 29.92%(117/346),and 6.03%(23/365) and 6.91%(27/346), respectively. Conclusions: Minimal invasive procedures can be considered for debridement in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis in some selected conditions.The involvements of minimal invasive procedures in treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis don't decrease the morbidity of principal local complications and mortality in recent years. Rational surgical procedures and appropriate surgical timing are the keys to improve the efficacy of necrotizing pancreatitis.

Abstract
Location information is a key issue for applications of the Internet of Things. In this paper, we focus on mobile wireless networks with moving agents and targets. The positioning process is divided into two phases based on the factor graph, i.e., a prediction phase and a joint self-location and tracking phase. In the prediction phase, we develop an adaptive prediction model by exploiting the correlation of trajectories within a short period to formulate the prediction message. In the joint positioning phase, agents calculate the cooperative messages according to variational message passing and locate themselves. Simultaneously, the average consensus algorithm is employed to realize distributed target tracking. The simulation results show that the proposed prediction model is adaptive to the random movement of nodes. The performance of the proposed joint self-location and tracking algorithm is better than the separate cooperative self-localization and tracking algorithms.

Abstract
A putative serine protease of T. spiralis (TsSP) was expressed in Escherichia coli and its potential as a diagnostic antigen was primarily assessed in this study. Anti-Trichinella IgG in serum samples from T. spiralis different animal hosts (mice, rats, pigs and rabbits) were detected on Western blot analysis with rTsSP. Anti-Trichinella antibodies were detected in 100% (30/30) of experimentally infected mice by rTsSP-ELISA. Cross-reactions of rTsSPELISA were not found with sera from mice infected with other parasites (S. erinaceieuropaei, S. japonicum, C. sinensis, A. cantonensis and T. gondii) and sera from normal mice. There was no statistical difference in antibody detection rate among mice infected with the encapsulated Trichinella species (T. spiralis, T. nativa, T. britovi, and T. nelsoni) (P>0.05). The results of rTsSP-ELISA showed that serum specific antibody IgG in mice infected with 100 or 500 T. spiralis muscle larvae (ML) were detectable early at 7-8 dpi, but not detected by ML ES antigen-ELISA prior to 10-12 dpi. Specific anti-Trichinella IgG was detected in 100% (18/18) of infected pigs by rTsSP-ELISA and ES-ELISA, but no specific antibodies was not detected in 20 conventionally raised normal pigs by two antigens. The results showed the rTsSP had the potential for early serodiagnosis of animal Trichinella infection, however it requires to be assayed with early infection sera of swine infected with Trichinella and other parasites.

Abstract
Superconductivity beyond electron-phonon mechanism is always twisted with magnetism. Based on a new field-effect transistor with solid ion conductor as the gate dielectric (SIC-FET), we successfully achieve an electric-field-controlled phase transition between superconductor and ferromagnetic insulator in (Li,Fe)OHFeSe. A dome-shaped superconducting phase with optimal Tc of 43 K is continuously tuned into a ferromagnetic insulating phase, which exhibits an electric-field-controlled quantum critical behavior. The origin of the ferromagnetism is ascribed to the order of the interstitial Fe ions expelled from the (Li,Fe)OH layers by gating-controlled Li injection. These surprising findings offer a unique platform to study the relationship between superconductivity and ferromagnetism in Fe-based superconductors. This work also demonstrates the superior performance of the SIC-FET in regulating physical properties of layered unconventional superconductors.

Abstract
Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels is a widely-used traditional Chinese herbal medicine in treating osteoporosis. Ligustilide (LIG) is the main component of A. sinensis and is considered to be the most effective biologically active ingredient in this plant. LIG has been found to have multiple pharmacological activities, such as anti-atherosclerosis, neuroprotection, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and analgesic. However, little is known regarding its anti-osteoporotic effects. The aims of this study were to investigate any protective effect of LIG on bone formation. The results showed that LIG significantly ameliorated inhibition of bone formation in zebrafish caused by prednisolone. LIG promoted osteoblast differentiation, including that of the pre-osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. LIG greatly improved the viability of MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to H2O2, attenuated H2O2-induced apoptosis and increased the expression of Bcl-2. Furthermore, LIG treatment lead to marked activation of phosphorylated EGFR and ERK1/2. These effects could be obviously inhibited by blocking GPR30 signaling with the specific inhibitor G15. Collectively, the results reveal that GPR30 is a positive switch for LIG to increase bone formation via regulation of EGFR, and these results provide evidence for the potential of LIG to treat osteoporosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
This study aimed to develop a nomogram based on clinicopathological features to evaluate the recurrence probability of breast phyllodes tumors following surgery. The criteria for atypia, mitoses, overgrowth, and surgical margin (AMOS) were also validated.
Method
Data from 334 patients with breast phyllodes tumors, who underwent surgical treatment at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from January 2005 to December 2014, were used to develop a prediction model. Additionally, data of 36 patients from Peking University Shenzhen Hospital and data of 140 patients from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center during the same period were used to validate the model. The medical records and tumor slides were retrospectively reviewed. The log-rank and Cox regression tests were used to develop a clinical prediction model of breast phyllodes tumors as well as validating the AMOS criteriaAll statistical analyses were performed using R and STATA.
Results
Of all 334 patients included in the study, 224 had benign, 91 had borderline, and 19 had malignant tumors. The local and distant recurrence rate was 17.7%. The 1-,3-, and 5-year cumulative recurrence-free survival was 98.5%, 97.9%, and 96.8%, respectively. Surgical margin, mitoses, and tumor border were identified as independent risk factors for breast phyllodes tumors. A nomogram was developed based on these three variables. The C-index of internal and external validation was 0.71and 0.67, respectively. The area under the curve of AMOS criteria was 0.59.
Conclusions
The present study model presented a more concise and objective variables to evaluate the recurrence-free survival of patients after surgery compared with that using the AMOS criteria, which is more appropriate for clinical practice and also allows for a more accurate prediction.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) on left atrial or atrial appendage (LA/LAA) thrombi in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Method: Data from 3 042 patients with atrial fibrillation(AF), who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination before cardioversion or catheter ablation for the detection of LA/LAA thrombus in our department from March 2016 to January 2018 were prospectively analyzed. Among these patients, LA/LAA thrombus was detected by TEE in 57 patients. A total of 19 patients who received dabigatran or rivaroxaban for ≥3 weeks and underwent repeated TEE were included, 38 patients were excluded (7 patients with rheumatic heart disease, 1 patient treated with pericardial decortication, 1 patient treated with surgical repair of endocardial cushion defect, 1 patient with LA thrombus associated with the atrial septal occluder device, 14 patients received warfarin therapy, 14 patients did not receive repeated TEE). Results: First repeated TEE results showed that LA/LAA thrombus was not completely resolved in 4 out of 4 patients treated with dabigatran (110 mg bid) for a median time of 119 (47, 258) days, whereas LA/LAA thrombus was completely resolved in 5 out of 11 patients treated with dabigatran (150 mg bid) for a median time of 80 (58, 147) days. Thrombus was completely resolved in 2 out of 2 patients treated with rivaroxaban (15 mg qd) for 110 days and 95 days respectively, and in 1 out of 2 patients treated with rivaroxaban (20 mg qd) for 91 days. Second repeated TEE was performed in 8 patients. Thrombus was resolved completely in 2 out of 3 patients with undissolved thrombus treated by dabigatran (110 mg bid) after increasing the dabigatran dosage (150 mg bid). Thrombus was resolved in 3 (1 patient prolonged treatment with dabigatran 150 mg bid and 2 patients switched to rivaroxaban 20 mg qd) out of 4 patients with undissolved thrombus under the dabigatran 150 mg bid regimen, whereas the thrombus remained unresolved in 1 patient switched to rivaroxaban (15 mg qd). After receiving rivaroxaban 15 mg bid treatment, the thrombus was finally resolved in 1 patient with undissolved thrombus treated by rivaroxaban 20 mg qd. There was no clinical thromboembolism or major bleeding events during the median follow up time of 462 (305, 558) days. Conclusions: Our data show that NOAC is an effective therapeutic option for the treatment of LA/LAA thrombi. When eligible, a higher NOAC dosage may be preferred due to the higher efficacy on thrombus resolvement.

Abstract
AIMS Spodoptera exigua is a serious pest of many agricultural crops. However, the bacterial communities of S. exigua are poorly studied, particularly over their entire life cycle. We aimed to study the biodiversity of the microbiota across the life cycle of S. exigua and to provide a better and obtain insight into new pest control strategies. METHODS AND RESULTS The bacterial diversity across the life cycle of S. exigua was studied using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. Spodoptera exigua is dominated by Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, with a total relative abundance of 90·03%. Enterococcus (24·6%), Pseudomonas (12·2%) and Asaia (45·9%) were abundant and active in eggs, while Methylobacterium (18·7%) and Halomonas (16·5%) dominated freshly eclosed larvae. The 3rd and 5th instar larvae were dominated by Enterococcus (76·3 and 62·0%). Pupal stages had the highest microbial diversity. There was no significant difference between newly emerged males and females. Symbionts of eggs were extremely similar and probably vertically transmitted by males during mating. CONCLUSIONS The result showed that the bacterial community was affected by the host developmental stages. Our results also suggest that symbionts of egg mass are probably vertically transmitted control by male spawning adults. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our study documents the symbiont bacteria across the life cycle of S. exigua. Understanding the microbial symbionts may provide clues to develop potential biocontrol techniques against this pest.
