Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The specific pathogenesis of generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) has not yet been clarified, and few studies have focused on the association between GAgP and metabolomics. To elucidate the roles of metabolic profiles in the status of GAgP, this study aimed to identify the differential metabolic profiles between patients with GAgP and healthy controls using an untargeted metabolomic profiling method. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum and gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected from healthy controls (n = 20) and patients with GAgP (n = 20) in this cross-sectional study. The relative levels of biomarkers in the samples were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Principal components analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis were used for statistical analysis. Metabolites were analysed qualitatively using the FiehnLib and NIST databases. Full-mouth probing depth and clinical attachment loss were recorded as indexes of periodontal disease. RESULTS A total of 349 metabolites were qualitatively detected in the gingival crevicular fluid samples, and 200 metabolites were detected in the serum samples. Compared with healthy controls, patients with GAgP showed significant increases in serum urea and allo-inositol levels. In contrast, glutathione, 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, adipic acid and 2-deoxyguanosine levels were decreased in patients with GAgP. In the gingival crevicular fluid samples, noradrenaline, uridine, α-tocopherol, dehydroascorbic acid, xanthine, galactose, glucose-1-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate levels were increased in patients with GAgP, while thymidine, glutathione and ribose-5-phosphate levels were decreased. CONCLUSION The metabolomics analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is an effective and minimally non-invasive way to differentiate the metabolites characteristic of patients with GAgP. Both serum and gingival crevicular fluid metabolomics are significantly different between patients with GAgP and healthy controls. These metabolic profiles have great potential in detecting GAgP and helping to understand its underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Background Increasing evidence has indicated an association between immune infiltration in gastric cancer and clinical outcome. However, reliable prognostic signatures, based on systematic assessments of the immune landscape inferred from bulk tumour transcriptomes, have not been established. The aim was to develop an immune signature, based on the cellular composition of the immune infiltrate inferred from bulk tumour transcriptomes, to improve the prognostic predictions of gastric cancer. Methods Twenty‐two types of immune cell fraction were estimated based on large public gastric cancer cohorts from the Gene Expression Omnibus using CIBERSORT. An immunoscore based on the fraction of immune cell types was then constructed using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model. Results Using the LASSO model, an immunoscore was established consisting of 11 types of immune cell fraction. In the training cohort (490 patients), significant differences were found between high‐ and low‐immunoscore groups in overall survival across and within subpopulations with an identical TNM stage. Multivariable analysis revealed that the immunoscore was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio 1·92, 95 per cent c.i. 1·54 to 2·40). The prognostic value of the immunoscore was also confirmed in the validation (210) and entire (700) cohorts. Conclusion The proposed immunoscore represents a promising signature for estimating overall survival in patients with gastric cancer. Immunoscore predicts prognosis

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Talaromyces marneffei is an opportunistic infection with high morbidity among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS patients in Southeast Asia and southern China. Its effects on mortality in HIV/AIDS patients has not been clearly elucidated. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized HIV-infected individuals at the Fourth People's Hospital of Nanning, Guangxi, China during 2012-2015. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to calculate the cumulative mortality. Cox proportional hazard models and 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) were used to evaluate the effects of T. marneffei infection on mortality of HIV/AIDS patients. RESULTS In total, 6791 HIV/AIDS patients were included, 1093 of them (16.1%) with documented T. marneffei co-infection. The mortality of T. marneffei-infected patients (25.0 per 100 person-months, 95% CI 21.5-26.7) was the highest among all AIDS-associated complications and was significantly higher than that of T. marneffei-uninfected HIV/AIDS patients (13.8 per 100 person-months, 95% CI 12.5-15.1; adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) 1.80, 95% CI 1.48-2.16). The results using PSM were similar (AHR 4.52 95% CI 2.43-8.42). The mortality of T. marneffei-infected patients was also significantly higher than that of patients without any complications. When stratified by demographic characteristics, T. marneffei infection has higher mortality risk in all stratifications. Co-infection with T. marneffei carries a higher mortality risk in patients at any CD4+ T-cell count. CONCLUSIONS Talaromyces marneffei infection is commonly found in hospitalized HIV/AIDS patients in southern China and was associated with a higher mortality rate than most HIV-associated complications. These results highlight the need for improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of infection by this neglected fungal pathogen in southern China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a compact and efficient hypergraph representation and a graph-similarity-based retrieval method of molecules to achieve effective and efficient medicine information retrieval. METHODS Chemical structural formula (CSF) was a primary search target as a unique and precise identifier for each compound at the molecular level in the research field of medicine information retrieval. To retrieve medicine information effectively and efficiently, a complete workflow of the graph-based CSF retrieval system was introduced. This system accepted the photos taken from smartphones and the sketches drawn on tablet personal computers as CSF inputs, and formalized the CSFs with the corresponding graphs. Then this paper proposed a compact and efficient hypergraph representation for molecules on the basis of analyzing factors that directly affected the efficiency of graph matching. According to the characteristics of CSFs, a hierarchical collapsing method combining graph isomorphism and frequent subgraph mining was adopted. There was yet a fundamental challenge, subgraph overlapping during the collapsing procedure, which hindered the method from establishing the correct compact hypergraph of an original CSF graph. Therefore, a graph-isomorphism-based algorithm was proposed to select dominant acyclic subgraphs on the basis of overlapping analysis. Finally, the spatial similarity among graphical CSFs was evaluated by multi-dimensional measures of similarity. RESULTS To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the proposed system was firstly compared with Wikipedia Chemical Structure Explorer (WCSE), the state-of-the-art system that allowed CSF similarity searching within Wikipedia molecules dataset, on retrieval accuracy. The system achieved higher values on mean average precision, discounted cumulative gain, rank-biased precision, and expected reciprocal rank than WCSE from the top-2 to the top-10 retrieved results. Specifically, the system achieved 10%, 1.41, 6.42%, and 1.32% higher than WCSE on these metrics for top-10 retrieval results, respectively. Moreover, several retrieval cases were presented to intuitively compare with WCSE. The results of the above comparative study demonstrated that the proposed method outperformed the existing method with regard to accuracy and effectiveness. CONCLUSION This paper proposes a graph-similarity-based retrieval approach for medicine information. To obtain satisfactory retrieval results, an isomorphism-based algorithm is proposed for dominant subgraph selection based on the subgraph overlapping analysis, as well as an effective and efficient hypergraph representation of molecules. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP is a widespread cell-to-cell signaling molecule in the brain, where it functions as a neuromodulator by activating glia and neurons. Although ATP exerts multiple effects on synaptic plasticity and neuro-glia interactions, as well as in mood disorders, the source and regulation of ATP release remain to be elaborated. Here, we define Calhm2 as an ATP-releasing channel protein based on in vitro and in vivo models. Conventional knockout and conditional astrocyte knockout of Calhm2 both lead to significantly reduced ATP concentrations, loss of hippocampal spine number, neural dysfunction and depression-like behaviors in mice, which can be significantly rescued by ATP replenishment. Our findings identify Calhm2 as a critical ATP-releasing channel that modulates neural activity and as a potential risk factor of depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength between zirconia and resin cement. METHODS Forty zirconia discs were randomly divided into four groups (10 discs in each group) for different surface treatments: control, no surface treatment; sandblast, applied air abrasion with aluminum oxide particles; ultraviolet (UV), the zirconia sample was placed in the UV sterilizer at the bottom of the UV lamp at 10 mm, and irradiated for 48 h; cold plasma, the discs were put in the cold plasma cabinet with the cold plasma generated from the gas of He for 30 s. Specimens of all the groups were surface treated prior to cementation with Panavia F 2.0 cement. The surface morphology and contact angle of water were measured. The shear bond strengths were tested and the failure modes were examined with a stereomicroscope. RESULTS Surface morphology showed no difference between the UV/cold plasma group and the control group. Sandblasted zirconia displayed an overall heterogeneous distribution of micropores. The contact angle of the control group was 64.1°±2.0°. After sandblasting, UV irradiation and cold plasma exposure, the values significantly decreased to 48.8°±2.6°, 27.1°±3.6° and 32.0°±3.3°. The values of shear bond strength of the specimens with sandblasted (14.82±2.01) MPa were higher than those with no treatment (9.41±1.07) MPa with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The values of shear bond strength of the specimens with UV irradiation (10.02±0.64) MPa were higher than those with no treatment (9.41±1.07) MPa, but without statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The values of cold plasma group (18.34±3.05) MPa were significantly higher than those of control group (9.41±1.07) MPa, even more than those with sandblast(14.82±2.01) MPa (P<0.05). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed increase in oxygen (O) and decrease in carbon (C) elements after UV and cold plasma treatment. The surface C/O ratio also decreased after UV and cold plasma treatment. CONCLUSION Zirconia specimens treated with UV and cold plasma could significantly improve the hydrophilicity. The surface morphology was unaffected by the UV irradiation and cold plasma treatments. The improvements of ziconia shear bond strength were slight in UV group without statistically significant difference. Cold plasma treatment significantly improved the shear bond strength between zirconia and resin cement.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Benign breast disease (BBD) is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer but it is unclear whether the strength of the association with BBD and breast cancers varies by breast cancer family history. Few studies of BBD enrich specifically for putative genetic factors by over-sampling based on family history let alone evaluate potential interactions with measures of underlying familial risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate how risk associated with BBD is modified by underlying familial risk so as to guide clinical management and risk assessment of women with BBD.
Methods: Using a prospective family study cohort of 17,154 women unaffected with breast cancer at baseline and followed by questionnaire at regular intervals, we examined the association between BBD and breast cancer risk using Cox Proportional Hazards models. We classified women as having BBD if they reported at baseline having been told by a doctor that they had BBD, such as a non-cancerous cyst or breast lump. We did not have information on histologic sub-type. We confirmed self-reported diagnosis of BBD with pathology reports in a subset of the New York cohort and found high agreement between self-reported and pathologically confirmed BBD (93.5%). We assessed multiplicative and additive interactions with underlying familial risk profile (FRP) defined as either fixed-time horizon of 1-year, or total lifetime risk, estimated from the Breast Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm (BOADICEA) model.
Results: During 176,756 person-years of follow-up (mean 10.2, maximum 23.7 years), we observed 968 incident breast cancers cases with an average age at diagnosis of 55.8 years and average age at enrollment into the cohort of 46.8 years. At baseline, 4,704 (27%) women reported having a previous diagnosis of BBD. Compared to women with no history of BBD, breast cancer risk was increased in women of all ages (HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.19,1.56), and in women up to age 45 years (using attained age models) (HR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.01,1.93). In terms of recency of BBD, we found that the increased risk associated with BBD remained 21 years or more after the initial BBD diagnosis (HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.68). We found no evidence for multiplicative interactions with FRP, which implies that the increase in absolute risk associated with BBD depends on a woman's FRP (Table 1).
Conclusions: Women with a history of BBD have an increased risk of breast cancer that multiplies their underlying familial risk (FRP). These results could prove to be valuable for risk counseling and clinical management.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Whether risk-reducing salpingo oophorectomy (RRSO) reduces breast cancer risk in addition to reducing ovarian cancer risk is controversial with some arguing that the previous evidence of a reduction in breast cancer risk from RRSO was due to bias. Evidence from independent prospective cohorts of high-risk women is needed to resolve this controversy.
Methods: Using a prospective family study cohort of 17,810 women unaffected with breast cancer at baseline, we examined the association between RRSO and breast cancer risk using Cox Proportional Hazards models. We compared results estimating RRSO as a non-time-dependent variable to results treating RRSO as a time-dependent variable, because failing to account for the time-varying nature of a covariate person- time prior to RRSO, should it exist, will incorrectly attribute the cancer-free person-time to RRSO. We separately examined the association with RRSO in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers and non-carriers, and further performed gene-stratified analyses in women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 only. We also assessed multiplicative interactions with underlying familial risk profile (FRP), defined as total lifetime risk estimated from the Breast Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm (BOADICEA) model.
Results: During a median 10.7 years of follow-up (maximum 23.7 years), we observed 1,040 incident cases of breast cancer with an average age at diagnosis of 55.8 years and average age at enrollment into the cohort of 46.8 years. A total of 2434 (14%) women reported at baseline having a RRSO. We observed decreased risk of breast cancer associated with RRSO for both BRCA1(N= 650) and BRCA2(N=557) mutation carriers when RRSO was treated as a fixed covariate (HR= 0.60, 95% CI=0.40-0.92 and HR= 0.40, 95%CI = 0.23-0.69, respectively). In contrast, when we treated RRSO as a time-varying covariate, for both BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers, we no longer observed a decreased risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers (HR= 1.67, 95% CI=1.05-2.67 and HR= 0.97, 95%CI = 0.53-1.80, respectively). There was no association between RRSO and breast cancer risk for non-carriers (N=16,603), whether we treated RRSO as a fixed or time varying covariate (HR= 0.88, 95% CI=0.72-1.08 and HR= 1.06, 95%CI = 0.85-1.30, respectively).
Conclusions: Our findings provide an independent replication that the reduced risk of breast cancer previously observed in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carrier women may be from bias in counting person-time. Clinical management of high-risk women should counsel based on the reduced risk of ovarian cancer from RRSO, but not breast cancer.

Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), a type of serine/threonine protein kinase, has been implicated in various functions in the regulation of mitotic processes. However, these kinase's roles in meiotic division are not fully understood, particularly in the meiotic maturation of porcine oocytes. In this study, the expression and spatiotemporal localization of Plk1 were initially assessed in the meiotic process of pig oocytes by utilizing Western blotting with immunofluorescent staining combined with confocal microscopy imaging technique. The results showed that Plk1 was expressed and exhibited a dynamic subcellular localization throughout the meiotic process. After germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD), Plk1 was detected prominently around the condensed chromosomes and subsequently exhibited a similar subcellular localization to α-tubulin throughout subsequent meiotic phases, with particular enrichment being observed near spindle poles at MI and MII. Inhibition of Plk1 via a highly selective inhibitor, GSK461364, led to the failure of first polar body extrusion in porcine oocytes, with the majority of the treated oocytes being arrested in GVBD. Further subcellular structure examination results indicated that Plk1 inhibition caused the great majority of oocytes with spindle abnormalities and chromosome misalignment during the first meiotic division. The results of this study illustrate that Plk1 is critical for the first meiotic division in porcine oocytes through its influence on spindle organization and chromosome alignment, which further affects the ensuing meiotic cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Syncope is a common emergency of children and adolescents, which has serious influence on the quality of life. Neurally-mediated syncope, including postural tachycardia syndrome, vasovagal syncope, orthostatic hypotension and orthostatic hypertension, is the main cause of syncope in children and adolescents. The main manifestations of neurally-mediated syncope are diverse, such as dizziness, headache, chest tightness, chest pain, pale complexion, fatigue, pre-syncope and syncope. Although the clinical manifestations are similar, each subtype of syncope has its hemodynamic feature and optimal treatment option. The diagnosis rate of syncope in children has been greatly improved on account of the development of the diagnostic procedures and methods. In recent years, with the promotion of head-up tilt test and drug-provocated head-up tilt test, the hemodynamic classification of neurally-mediated syncope gets continually refined. In recent years, with the effort of clinicians, an appropriate diagnostic protocol for children with syncope has been established. The initial evaluation consists of history taking, physical examination, standing test and standard electrocardiography. After the initial evaluation, some patients could be diagnosed definitely, such as postural tachycardia syndrome, orthostatic hypotension, and situational syncope. Those with a specific entity causing syncope need selective clinical and laboratory investigations. Patients for whom the cause of syncope remained undetermined should undergo head-up tilt test. The precise pathogenesis of neurally-mediated syncope is not entirely clear. In recent years, studies have shown that neurally-mediated syncope may be related to several factors, including hypovolemia, high catecholamine status, abnormal local vascular tension, decreased skeletal muscle pump activity and abnormal neurohumoral factors. Currently based on the possible pathogenesis, the individualized treatment of neurally-mediated syncope has also been studied in-depth. Generally, the management of neurally-mediated syncope includes non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. Patient education is the fundamental part above all. In addition to exercise training, the first-line treatments mainly include oral rehydration salts, beta adrenoreceptor blockers, and alpha adrenoreceptor agonists. By analyzing the patient's physiological indexes and biomarkers before treatment, the efficacy of medication could be well predicted. The individualized treatment will become the main direction in the future researches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of the co-morbidity of vasovagal syncope (VVS) and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) with allergic diseases in children. METHODS A re-trospective analysis was launched to summarize the clinical data of children with VVS and POTS. They were divided into allergic group and non-allergic group according to the history of allergic diseases. The participants' clinical characteristics were compared between allergic group and non-allergic group using independent sample t test or rank sum test; composition comparisons were completed by Chi-square test. Bi-variate correlation analysis was used to explore the association between eosinophil percentage/count and symptom scores/frequency of syncope episodes. A P value <0.05 was defined as statistically significant. RESULTS Sixty-seven children complaining of orthostatic intolerance (43 patients diagnosed as VVS and 24 cases diagnosed as POTS) were enrolled. Totally 21 cases (31%) had allergic diseases, including allergic rhinitis, atopic eczema, asthma, as well as food allergy. And allergic rhinitis is the most common co-morbidity. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, gender ratio, height, body weight and basement blood pressure. Compared with the non-allergic group, the allergic group showed later onset age (year) (11±2 vs. 9±3, P<0.05) of orthostatic intolerance and shorter course of the diseases (month) [8.0 (0.1, 0.1) vs. 24.0 (0.1, 144.0), P<0.05]. The frequency of syncope episodes in the allergic group among VVS children (times per month) [2.50 (0.08, 30.00) vs. 0.25 (0.03, 5.00), P<0.05] was much higher than that in the non-allergic group. Additionally, the eosinophil percentage (%) [3.50 (0.70, 0.59) vs. 1.65 (0.30, 6.20), P<0.001] and eosinophil count (×109) [0.18 (0.05, 0.71) vs. 0.10 (0.02, 0.38), P<0.001] were increased in the allergic group. However, there were no remarkable differences in the results of head-up tilt test in children with VVS or in the maximum change of heart rate during standing test in children with POTS were involved. CONCLUSION Allergic diseases are common co-morbidities in children with both VVS and POTS. Allergic rhinitis is the most common co-morbidity. Children with co-morbidity of VVS/POTS and allergic diseases had a later onset of symptoms of orthostatic intolerance, and were more likely to be hospitalized for intensive attacks of symptoms during a short period when compared with those without allergic diseases. Children diagnosed as VVS combined with allergic diseases had more frequent episodes of syncope.
