Abstract
The Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR) currently includes data from 61 566 twin pair from 11 provinces or cities in China. Of these, 31 705, 15 060 and 13 531 pairs are monozygotic, same-sex dizygotic and opposite-sex dizygotic pairs, respectively, determined by opposite sex or intrapair similarity. Since its establishment in 2001, the CNTR has provided an important resource for analysing genetic and environmental influences on chronic diseases especially cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the CNTR has focused on collecting biologic specimens from disease-concordant or disease-discordant twin pairs or from twin pairs reared apart. More than 8000 pairs of these twins have been registered, and blood samples have been collected from more than 1500 pairs. In this review, we summarize the main findings from univariate and multivariate genetic effects analyses, gene-environment interaction studies, omics studies exploring DNA methylation and metabolomic markers associated with phenotypes. There remains further scope for CNTR research and data mining. The plan for future development of the CNTR is described. The CNTR welcomes worldwide collaboration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The manganese ion is used as an intracellular MR imaging contrast agent to study neuronal function in animal models, but it remains unclear whether manganese-enhanced MR imaging can be similarly useful in humans. Using mangafodipir (Teslascan, a chelated manganese-based contrast agent that is FDA-approved), we evaluated the dynamics of manganese enhancement of the brain and glandular structures in the rostral head and neck in healthy volunteers. MATERIALS AND METHODS We administered mangafodipir intravenously at a rate of 1 mL/minute for a total dose of 5 μmol/kg body weight. Nine healthy adult volunteers (6 men/3 women; median age, 43 years) completed baseline history and physical examination, 3T MR imaging, and blood work. MR imaging also followed mangafodipir administration at various time points from immediate to 7 days, with delayed scans at 1-3 months. RESULTS The choroid plexus and anterior pituitary gland enhanced within 10 minutes of infusion, with enhancement persisting up to 7 and 30 days, respectively. Exocrine (parotid, submandibular, sublingual, and lacrimal) glands also enhanced avidly as early as 1 hour postadministration, generally resolving by 1 month; 3 volunteers had residual exocrine gland enhancement, which resolved by 2 months in 1 and by 3 months in the other 2. Mangafodipir did not affect clinical parameters, laboratory values, or T1-weighted signal in the basal ganglia. CONCLUSIONS Manganese ions released from mangafodipir successfully enable noninvasive visualization of intra- and extracranial structures that lie outside the blood-brain barrier without adverse clinical effects, setting the stage for future neuroradiologic investigation in disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between SPRY gene family and the risk of non-syndromic oral clefts among Chinese populations, in respect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) association and parent-of-origin effects. METHODS Based on case-parent design, this study used the data of SPRY gene family in a next generation sequencing study of 183 non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) case-parent trios (549 participants) recruited from 2016 to 2018, to analyze the effects of SNP association and parent-of-origin. The sequencing study adopted a two-stage design. In the first stage, whole exome sequencing was conducted among 24 NSCL/P trios with family history to explore potential signals. Then in the second stage, another 159 NSCL/P trios were used as validation samples to verify the signals found in the first stage. The data of general information, disease features and parental environmental exposures for participants were collected through questionnaires. Blood samples were collected from each participant for DNA extraction and sequencing. Transmission disequilibrium tests (TDT) were conducted to test for the association between SNPs and NSCL/P, while Z score tests were applied to analyze parent-of-origin effects. The analyses were performed using Plink (v1.07). TRIO package in R (v3.5.1). Besides, famSKAT analyses were conducted in the first stage to combine the effect of SNPs located on the same gene, using famSKAT package in R(V3.5.1). Bonferroni method was adopted to correct multiple tests in the second stage. RESULTS Twenty-two SNPs in SPRY gene family were included for analyses after the quality control process in the first stage. Based on the variants annotation, functional prediction and statistical analysis, rs1298215244 (SPRY1) and rs504122 (SPRY2) were included in the second verification stage. TDTs in the verification stage revealed that rs1298215244: T>C, rs504122: G>C and rs504122: G>T were associated with the risk of NSCL/P after Bonferroni corrections, where rs504122: G>T was a rare variation. Although the test for parent-of-origin effect of rs1298215244: T>C reached nominal significance level, no SNP showed significant association with NSCL/P through parent-of-origin effect after Bonferroni corrections. CONCLUSION This study found that SNPs (including both common and rare variants) among the SPRY gene family were associated with the risk of NSCL/P among Chinese populations. This study failed to detect parent-of-origin effects among the SPRY gene family.

Abstract
Objective: Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common birth defect with its genetic evidence widely explored. This study explored the potential the parent-of-origin (PoO) effect of WNT pathway on the risks of NSCL/P, using a case-parent trio design. Methods: Data on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of WNT genes were selected from a genome-wide association study (GWAS). A total of 806 Chinese non-syndromic cleft lip patients, with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) case-parent trios, were gathered from an international consortium. PoO effect of WNT pathway genes and its haplotypes were explored by log-linear models. Additional Wald tests were performed to assess: a) the heterogeneity of PoO effect between different maternal exposures, b) the interaction between PoO effect, c) maternal exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and d) multivitamin supplementation during pregnancy. The threshold for statistical significance was adjusted as 3.47×10(-4), according to Bonferroni correction. Results: After quality control, a total of 144 SNPs within seven genes were included for analyses, among which 8 SNPs were of potential PoO effect (P<0.05). However, none of them achieved the statistical significance after Bonferroni correction. The haplotype rs4074668-rs12725747 (T-A) on WNT9A showed significant PoO effect, based on the haplotype test for PoO (P=2.74×10(-4)). In addition, no statistically significant interaction was found in further exploration of this haplotype under environmental exposures as ETS or multivitamin supplementation. Conclusions: Genes in the WNT pathway may influence the NSCL/P risks through the potential PoO effect. Particularly, the haplotype rs4074668-rs12725747 (T-A) on WNT9A presented significant PoO effect on NSCL/P, statistically. From this current study, findings on WNT pathway related risks among the NSCL/P, need to be further validated by independent samples in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of sucralfate suspension gel (SC) on Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) colonization, H.pylori-induced gastric mucosal injury and gastrointestinal microecology in mice. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, including normal control (NC) group, H.pylori model (HP) group, and SC prevention (HP+SC) group. H.pylori infection mouse model was established by gavage with H.pylori Sydney strain (SS1). And HP+SC group was also administered with SC for 14 days. After mice were sacrificed, the gastric mucosa was taken for HE staining, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining [H.pylori, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), Occludin, interleukin (IL)-8, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], qPCR (IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α) . And cell ultrastructure was observed by electron microscopy. Microbiota communities in the gastric mucosa or fecal were investigated using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing. The detection of H.pylori in IHC staining or Giemsa staining was defined as H.pylori infection. Results: The H.pylori positive rate of HP group was 91.67%, and that of HP+SC group was 50.00%. The EDS of HP group were significantly higher than those of the NC group [(3.42±0.19) vs (1.17±0.17), P<0.05], while EDS of HP+SC group (2.42±0.29) were significantly lower than that of HP group (P<0.05). The mRNA levels and immunostaining scores of IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α in HP group was higher than NC group (all P<0.05). Compared with HP group, mRNA levels and IHC scores of IL-8 significantly decreased (all P<0.05) in HP+SC group, while those of IL-10 and TNF-α was similar between two groups (all P>0.05). The IHC scores of ZO-1 and Occludin in HP group was significantly lower than NC group (all P<0.05), and that of ZO-1 and Occludin in the HP+SC group increased compared with HP group [(2.00±0.26) vs (1.17±0.48), P>0.05; (3.50±0.43) vs (2.33±0.21), P<0.05]. Compared with NC group, the diversity of gastric microbiota in HP group was significantly lower, and diversity of gut microbiota decreased insignificantly. There was no significant difference between HP+SC group and HP group in gastric or gut microbiota. Conclusion: SC reduces H.pylori colonization, protects H.pylori-induced gastric mucosal injury, decreases H.pylori-induced IL-8 expression, enhances Occludin. However, its effects on H.pylori-induced gastrointestinal microbiota disorders are limited.

Abstract
Background and purpose The aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate clinical and neuroimaging characteristics in the largest sample size of patients with corpus callosum infarction to date and then to follow up these patients for 1 year to clarify the prognosis of this rare stroke entity. Methods A total of 127 patients with acute callosal infarction out of 5584 acute ischaemic stroke patients were included in this study. The recruited patients were divided into a pure callosal infarction group and a complex callosal infarction group (coupled with other infarct locations simultaneously), and clinical and neuroimaging features were analyzed. Some of the patients were followed up for 1 year to evaluate recurrence rate and mortality. Results The incidence of acute callosal infarction was 2.3%. Most patients presented with advanced neurological dysfunction with or without mild to moderate motor or sensory disorders on admission. The negative rate of computed tomography scan was still 76.4% even at >24 h after onset. Large‐artery atherosclerosis was the most common etiological type. Compared with complex callosal infarction, the pure callosal infarction group had more mental disorders (P = 0.030). Compared with common basal ganglia infarction, the pure callosal infarction group had better short‐term recovery (P = 0.016) but higher 1‐year mortality (P = 0.037). Age and mental disorders were independent risk factors for death in callosal infarction. Conclusions Callosal infarction is a white matter stroke that occurs with low incidence. Elderly patients with vascular risk factors showed sudden mental or cognitive disorders and callosal infarction could not be excluded. More attention should be paid to the early diagnosis and secondary prevention of callosal infarction because of its poor long‐term outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging-based modeling of tumor cell density can substantially improve targeted treatment of glioblastoma. Unfortunately, interpatient variability limits the predictive ability of many modeling approaches. We present a transfer learning method that generates individualized patient models, grounded in the wealth of population data, while also detecting and adjusting for interpatient variabilities based on each patient's own histologic data. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited patients with primary glioblastoma undergoing image-guided biopsies and preoperative imaging, including contrast-enhanced MR imaging, dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging, and diffusion tensor imaging. We calculated relative cerebral blood volume from DSC-MR imaging and mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy from DTI. Following image coregistration, we assessed tumor cell density for each biopsy and identified corresponding localized MR imaging measurements. We then explored a range of univariate and multivariate predictive models of tumor cell density based on MR imaging measurements in a generalized one-model-fits-all approach. We then implemented both univariate and multivariate individualized transfer learning predictive models, which harness the available population-level data but allow individual variability in their predictions. Finally, we compared Pearson correlation coefficients and mean absolute error between the individualized transfer learning and generalized one-model-fits-all models. RESULTS Tumor cell density significantly correlated with relative CBV (r = 0.33, P < .001), and T1-weighted postcontrast (r = 0.36, P < .001) on univariate analysis after correcting for multiple comparisons. With single-variable modeling (using relative CBV), transfer learning increased predictive performance (r = 0.53, mean absolute error = 15.19%) compared with one-model-fits-all (r = 0.27, mean absolute error = 17.79%). With multivariate modeling, transfer learning further improved performance (r = 0.88, mean absolute error = 5.66%) compared with one-model-fits-all (r = 0.39, mean absolute error = 16.55%). CONCLUSIONS Transfer learning significantly improves predictive modeling performance for quantifying tumor cell density in glioblastoma.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the study design, the characteristics of participants as well as the pedigrees included in the baseline survey of Fujian Tulou Family Cohort Study. Methods: Fujian Tulou Family Cohort Study was a prospective open cohort study with a biological sample bank. A baseline survey was conducted in Tulou areas of Nanjing county in Fujian province from 2015 to 2018, including questionnaire survey, physical and biochemical indicators examinations, and blood sample collection in adults aged ≥18 years. In addition, family relationship of the participants was also recorded. The pedigree information of the juveniles under 18 years old were also collected. Results: The baseline survey included 2 727 individuals in two clans, of whom 2 373 (87.0%) were adults, and 2 126 participants completed questionnaires, physical examinations and biochemical tests. The average age of the 2 126 participants was (57.9±13.3) years, with 39.4% being males. The current smoking rates in male and female participants were 41.2% and 2.1%, respectively. The corresponding rates of current alcohol consumption were 19.0% and 2.6%. For common chronic diseases, the prevalence rates were 51.3% for hypertension, 9.7% for diabetes and 26.7% for hyperlipemia according to the self-reported disease diagnoses, health examination results and biochemical examination results in class Ⅱ or Ⅲ hospitals. Based on the family relationship information and genealogical data, 710 pedigrees were finally identified, consisting of 5 087 family members. The numbers of five, four, three, and two generations pedigrees were 3, 88, 238 and 381, respectively. The pairs of the first to the fifth degree relatives were 12 039, 2 662, 1 511, 202 and 31, respectively. Conclusion: The establishment of Fujian Tulou Family Cohort provides valuable resources for exploring the genetic risk factors, environmental risk factors and gene-environment interactions contributing to the risk of common chronic diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The TAILORx study (NCT00310180)(TRx) has demonstrated the efficacy of endocrine therapy alone in early stage, lymph node negative, hormone receptor positive, her2neu oncogene negative breast cancer harboring an intermediate recurrence score (RS) on a 21-gene profile (OncotypeDx), obviating the need for adjuvant chemotherapy in a large subset of women. The study randomized and followed 6711 patients (pts) and required 9 years to reach its conclusion endpoints. The availability of the electronic health record (EHR) permits automated reviews, facilitating more rapid “real world” hypothesis testing (but not a replacement for randomized clinical trials), especially when there are clear variations in common practice patterns. However physician bias in treatment selection needs to be considered.
Methods: A retrospective review of the Cota Observational Cancer database, drawn from EHRs, of female pts with breast cancer who were 18 to 75 years of age; had hormone-receptor–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–negative, axillary node–negative breast cancer harboring an OncotypeDx RS 11-25 receiving adjuvant therapy following surgical resection of a 11-50 mm primary tumor (similar to TRx eligibility).
Results: 1009 pts from 23 cancer centers (107 oncologists) were identified, 850 (84.2%) received adjuvant endocrine therapy alone (E) and 159 (15.8%) received adjuvant chemoendocrine therapy (CE) as part of standard care (no randomization). 285 pts were age <50 yrs (E:218, CE:67) and 601 pts has RS 16-25 (E:453, CE:148). Treatment selection was imbalanced with oncologists more likely to utilize CE in younger pts (median age E: 59 yrs, CE: 53 yrs; p<0.01), larger tumors (median tumor size E: 16mm, CE: 20mm; p<0.001) and higher RS (median RS E: 16, CE: 21; p<0.001). With a median follow-up for survival since diagnosis of 3.7 years, the Kaplan-Meier estimated 5 yr overall survival rates were 98.9% with E and 97.8% with CE (p=0.23); the corresponding 5-yr OS in TRx were E: 98% and C: 98.1%. With a median 1.7 years follow-up for recurrence, 19 pts have suffered a disease distant or local recurrence (E: 13, CE: 6) yielding a 5-year recurrence-free survival of E: 95.2% and CE: 91% (p=0.05); the corresponding TRx result was E: 96.9% and CE: 97%. The 5-yr invasive disease-free survival (IDFS = death, local/distant, second primary) with 32 events was E: 92.7% and CE: 81.9% (p= 0.05); corresponding TRx E: 92.8 % and CE: 93.1%. Given the imbalance in treatment allocations, a multivariate analysis was performed, with older age (<0.001), CE choice (<0.006) and larger tumor size (p<0.05) remaining significant, but not increased RS (p=0.16) for 5-year IDFS. Among women age <50 with RS 16-25 (E: 118; CE: 60) the 5-yr IDFS was E: 95% and CE: 94%; the corresponding RS 16-20 TRx E: 92% and CE: 94.7% and RS 21-25 E: 86.3% and CE: 92.1%.
Conclusions: Using a real world data source, endocrine therapy alone appears to yield excellent 5-yr survival rates among pts with 21-gene RS 11-25 similar to the TAILORx trial. Treatment selection bias (with perceived higher risk pts allocated to CE) and shorter median follow-up limits full confirmation by this dataset.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a hepatitis E (HE) vaccine using an accelerated vaccination schedule (vaccine doses at 0, 7 and 21 days). METHODS A total of 126 participants aged ≥18 years were randomly assigned to receive the hepatitis E virus vaccine in either the accelerated group (0, 7 and 21 days) or the routine group (0, 1 and 6 months). Serology samples were obtained at 0, 21, 28 and 51 days, and 7 months in the accelerated group, or 0, 1, 2 and 7 months in the routine group after the first vaccine injection. Adverse events (AEs) reported during the whole study were analysed. RESULTS A total of 126 participants were randomized, 63 for each group. Sixty-two participants in the accelerated group and 63 in the routine group received at least one dose of vaccine; 57 and 63 participants received all three doses and were included in per-protocol set, respectively. In the per-protocol population, at 1 month after the last dose (accelerated group at 51 days versus routine group at 7 months), the seropositive rates were both 100% (57/57 and 63/63, respectively), and the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) were 8.51 WHO units/mL (95% CI 6.73-10.76) in the accelerated group and 9.67 WHO units/mL (95% CI 7.67-12.20) in the routine group. The ratio of the accelerated group GMC to the routine group GMC was 0.88 (95% CI 0.61-2.17, lower limit of 95% CI > 0.5), indicating that the accelerated vaccination schedule was non-inferior to the routine one. The overall incidence rates of solicited AEs in the accelerated and routine groups were 32.26% (20/62) and 30.16% (19/63), respectively (p 0.800). Most AEs were moderate. CONCLUSIONS An accelerated schedule is safe and provides protective antibodies in a shorter time compared with the routine schedule. The accelerated schedule should be recommended to adults who are travelling on short notice to an HE-endemic area or during an HE outbreak (Clinical Trial Registration. NCT03168412).

Abstract
AIMS To select apple rootstocks that are tolerant to low nitrogen and reveal the relationship between the rhizosphere bacterial communities and the low nitrogen tolerance of the apple rootstock. METHODS AND RESULTS In total, 235 lines of hybrids of Malus robusta Rehd. × M.9 with low nitrogen stress were cultivated in pots in a greenhouse equipped with a drip irrigation system, and growth characteristics, photosynthesis traits and mineral elements were monitored. The bacterial community structure of the rhizosphere from different rootstocks was determined via Illumina MiSeq sequencing. This study selected three low nitrogen-tolerant (NT) lines that had higher nitrogen concentration, and higher photosynthesis rate than the three low nitrogen-sensitive (NS) lines. The bacterial community structure significantly differed (P ≤ 0·001) among the rootstocks. The bacterial phyla Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the dominant groups in the rhizosphere and presented higher abundance in the NT rhizosphere. The N concentration in the apple rootstocks exhibited highly positive Pearson correlations with the bacterial genera Sphingomonas, Pseudoxanthomonas, Bacillus and Acinetobacter, and negative correlations with the bacterial genera Pseudarthrobacter and Bradyrhizobium. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that investigated rootstocks achieved increased nitrogen concentration by enhancing their photosynthetic production capacity and shaping their rhizobacteria community structure. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The findings provide a basis for studying the mechanisms of resistance to low nitrogen stress in apple rootstocks. Based on these beneficial bacteria, microbial inoculants can be developed for use in sustainable agricultural and horticultural production.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the levels of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, and neodymium in the blood, urine, and hair samples from residents in the rare earth mining area of a city in China, and to provide a scientific basis for the control of rare earth pollution and the protection of population health. Methods: A total of 147 residents who had lived in the rare earth mining area of a city for a long time were selected as the exposure group, and 108 residents in Guyang County of this city who lived 91 km away from the rare earth mining area were selected as the control group. Blood, urine, and hair samples were collected from the residents in both groups. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to determine the content of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, and neodymium in blood, urine, and hair samples. Results: In the exposure group, the median levels of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, and neodymium were 0.854, 1.724, 0.132, and 0.839 μg/L, respectively, in blood samples, 0.420, 0.920, 0.055, and 0.337 μg/L, respectively, in urine samples, and 0.052, 0.106, 0.012, and 0.045 μg/g, respectively, in hair samples. The exposure group had significantly higher levels of the four rare earth elements in blood, urine, and hair samples than the control group (P<0.01) . Conclusion: The residents in the rare earth mining area of this city have higher content of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, and neodymium in blood, urine, and hair than those in the non-mining area; the content of cerium is highest, followed by lanthanum, neodymium, and praseodymium.

Abstract
A beam emission spectroscopy system is being developed and deployed on the HL-2A tokamak to measure local low wavenumber (k ⊥ ρ i < 1) density fluctuations by measuring the Doppler-shifted emission from a 50 kV deuterium heating neutral beam. High spatial resolution (Δr ≤ 1 cm, Δz ≤ 1.5 cm) measurements are achieved with customized in-vacuum optics. High frequency, high-gain preamplifiers sample the light intensity at a Nyquist frequency of 1 MHz and achieve a high S/N ratio via high optical throughput, low-noise preamplifiers, and high quantum efficiency photodiodes. A first set of 16 detector channels [configured in an 8 (radial) × 2 (poloidal) array] has been installed and tested at HL-2A, covering the radial range r/a = 0.8-1.1. The frequency and wavenumber spectra have been measured under different plasma conditions. Initial measurements have demonstrated the capability of measuring edge plasma density fluctuation spectra and the poloidal flow velocity fields with a high S/N ratio.

Abstract
Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common birth defect with a complex genetic architecture. Gene-gene interactions have been increasingly regarded as contributing to the etiology of NSCL/P. A recent genome-wide association study revealed that a novel single-nucleotide polymorphism at SPRY1 in 4q28.1 showed a significant association with NSCL/P. In the current study, we explored the role of 3 SPRY genes in the etiology of NSCL/P by detecting gene-gene interactions: SPRY1, SPRY2, and SPRY4-with SPRY3 excluded due to its special location on the X chromosome. We selected markers in 3 SPRY genes to test for gene-gene interactions using 1,908 case-parent trios recruited from an international consortium established for a genome-wide association study of nonsyndromic oral clefts. As the trios came from populations with different ancestries, subgroup analyses were conducted among Europeans and Asians. Cordell's method based on conditional logistic regression models was applied to test for potential gene-gene interactions via the statistical package TRIO in R software. Gene-gene interaction analyses yielded 10 pairs of SNPs in Europeans and 6 pairs in Asians that achieved significance after Bonferroni correction. The significant interactions were confirmed in the 10,000-permutation tests (empirical P = 0.003 for the most significant interaction). The study identified gene-gene interactions among SPRY genes among 1,908 NSCL/P trios, which revealed the importance of potential gene-gene interactions for understanding the genetic architecture of NSCL/P. The evidence of gene-gene interactions in this study also provided clues for future biological studies to further investigate the mechanism of how SPRY genes participate in the development of NSCL/P.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze high risk factors, therapeutic regimen and prognosis of patients with pulmonary mucormycosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 25 patients who were diagnosed as pulmonary mucormycosis in the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, between January 2009 and December 2017. Results: Univariate analysis revealed that no risk factor had significant effect on prognosis of these 25 cases, while multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that the exposure to antifungal drugs was correlated to worse prognosis(P=0.046). All 4 patients who had received surgical lesionectomy were cured, and 8 patients who had not received any therapy targeted to mucormycosis were all dead. Seven of 13 patients received antifungal drug to mucormycosis were effective, with an effective rate of 54.0%. The mortality rate of the operative group was lower than that of the non-operative group (P=0.026), and the prognosis of the patients received drug treatment was better than patients without treatment(P=0.022). There was no significant difference in the prognosis between groups of single drug or combination of amphotericin B and posaconazole. Conclusions: Pulmonary mucormycosis is more likely to occur in patients with tumor of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation, long-term glucocorticoid usage and diabetes. Surgical lesionectomy can improve the survival rate, and the treatment with amphotericin B and /or posaconazole can also improve the prognosis of the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We carried out a randomized multicentre study in China to investigate whether the clofazimine would improve the efficacy of the standardized regimen in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). METHODS Patients with MDR-TB managed in 17 TB specialist hospitals in China between September 2009 and September 2011 were randomly assigned to the treatment groups at enrolment. In the intervention group, 100 mg clofazimine per day was added to the standardized regimen. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with successful outcomes. RESULTS From the 156 patients that were screened, 74 were assigned to the control group and 66 to the clofazimine group. Of the 66 cases analysed for clinical outcome in the clofazimine group, 36 patients were cured, and seven completed treatment, yielding a favourable outcome rate of 65.1%. The proportion of patients with favourable outcomes receiving the control regimen was 47.3% (35/74), which was significantly lower than that in the clofazimine group (p 0.034, relative risk 0.661, 95% CI 0.243-0.949). CONCLUSIONS The addition of clofazimine to the standard regimen improved the treatment of MDR-TB.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the clinical features, imaging features, pathological patterns, treatment principles and prognosis of the orbital nonspecific inflammatory response diseases patients whose CT or MR images show enlargement of the infraorbital nerves. Methods: A retrospective case series study. Seven orbital disease patients who were treated at Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital between March 2013 and May 2017 were included. All patients, imaging pictures showed enlargement of the infraorbital nerve. The medical histories, clinical featuers, imaging features, pathologies, serological examinations, therapeutic processes and prognosis were collected and analyzed. Results: The 7 patients included 4 males and 3 females aged from 55 to 68 years (the average age was 60). Bilateral involvement was present in 5 of 7 patients. The main clinical manifestations include proptosis, increasing of orbital pressure, impairment of visual functions, reduction in ocular motility, facial sensation, periocular ache, involvement of lymph node and salivary gland, etc. CT results showed enlargement of infraorbital nerve, accompanied with or without the destruction of bone. The inflammatory response may involve with extraocular muscles and lacrimal glands, or were shown as lesions with irregular shape and blurred borders. The MR images generally showed equal T(1) and equal T(2) signal, accompanied with evident enlargement of the infraorbital nerve. Of all the 7 patients, 6 underwent operation, and the pathology confirmed that 2 of the 6 were involved with inflammatory pseudotumors and the rest 4 were involved with IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD). The level of IgG4 in the serum were detected for 4 patients, the results of 3 were high and the other was normal. Of all the 7 patients,1 patient underwent conservative treatment, but disease recurred for several times, and the serum IgG4 level for the patient was higher than normal;1 inflammatory pseudotumor patient was cured completely only by surgery, and has a favourable prognosis; 1 IgG4-ROD patient accepted glucocorticoid, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but disease recurred several times; The rest of the patients accepted glucocorticoid and operation, 2 were sensitive to glucocorticoid, 2 were not sensitive, and 1 involved with recurrence. Conclusions: If orbital nonspecific inflammation response was accompanied with enlargement of infraorbital nerve, it is suggested that patient is more likely to be involved with IgG4-ROD;Pathology and serological tests can be used for the diagnosis of IgG4-ROD, however treatment effect appears to be poor for most patients, and patients prone to relapse.

Abstract
Cardiolipin is an important cellular component, and its normal level is a key prerequisite for maintaining the structure and function of mitochondria. To accurately quantify endogenous cardiolipin content in mitochondria, a standard addition method (SAM) was developed to establish a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) technique that is both reliable and accurate. Increasing amounts of cardiolipin standards were added to a constant amount of isolated mitochondria prior to the extraction procedure, and the two were extracted together. By limiting the interference effects that occur to within an acceptable range in an analytical system examined, this procedure ensures an ideal match of the sample composition in the standards, even if the composition is extremely complex or completely unknown. Then, the desired results can be obtained by extrapolation. As such, the authentic content of the endogenous cardiolipin can be obtained with greater accuracy than with classical detection methods, e.g. external standard calibration (ESC) and internal standard calibration (ISC). This method provides an excellent means of quantifying endogenous substances in living cells. The authors expect this method to be useful for researchers working on mitochondria-related mechanisms, cell survival-related mechanisms and similar topics.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the correlation between circumcision and incidence and clearance of male genital HPV infection. Methods: From May to July 2014, 18-55 year old men who had sexual behavior history were recruited from the general population in Liuzhou, Guangxi to set up a cohort. Totally, 113 circumcised and 560 uncircumcised men were enrolled and interviewed using a questionnaire (including information on demographic characteristics and sexual behaviors), then they were followed-up with 6-month interval for 2 times. On each visit, specimens of male external genitalia were collected and genotyped for HPV DNA. The differences of incidence and clearance of genital HPV infections between circumcised and uncircumcised men were analyzed by Log-rank test. Cox regression was used to analyze the relationship between circumcision and incidence and clearance of HPV infection. Results: The median age (P(25), P(75)) of circumcised and uncircumcised men were 28 (24, 35) and 32 (24, 31), respectively. The incidences of any HPV infections were 9.1 (95%CI: 2.4-15.7) and 8.4 (95% CI: 5.6-11.2) per 1 000 person-months (χ(2)=0.10, P=0.758), respectively. The clearance of circumcised men [136.3 (95%CI: 70.0-202.7) per 1 000 person-months] was higher than that in uncircumcised men [89.6 (95%CI: 65.9-113.3) per 1 000 person-months] (χ(2)=8.19, P=0.004). In multivariate COX regression analysis, compared with uncircumcised men, circumcised men had higher possibility to clear any HPV infections (HR: 2.41, 95%CI: 1.30-4.46). Compared with men having one sexual partner, people having more than 4 sexual partners had lower possibility to clear any HPV infections (HR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.25-0.96). Compared with 18-25 years old men, men aged 26-35 years old had higher possibility to clear high-risk HPV infections (HR: 2.14, 95%CI: 1.08-4.23). Conclusion: Circumcised and uncircumcised men had similar incidence of genital HPV infection, whereas, men conducted circumcision and having fewer sexual partners could increase the clearance of genital HPV infections.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to analyse the potential significance of metastasis to the inferior mesenteric artery lymph node (IMA-LN) in patients with malignancy of the left colon and rectum. METHOD A retrospective analysis of a cohort of 890 patients collected prospectively who underwent radical resection of a primary tumour of the descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum in our department from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2015 was performed. Patients were divided into an IMA-LN metastasis (IMA-LN (+)) group (n = 51) and a non IMA-LN metastasis (IMA-LN (-)) group (n = 839). A total of 801 patients were followed by a designated member of the study staff. Clinical features, pathological characteristics, recurrence patterns and survival rates were compared between the two groups. RESULTS In the IMA-LN (+) group, the risk ratio of overall recurrence and tumour related death was 7.786 (95% CI 4.142-14.637) and 7.756 (95% CI 4.142-14.525) respectively. Significant differences were found in overall survival (log-rank: χ2 = 69.06, P < 0.0001) and disease-free survival (log-rank: χ2 = 69.06, P < 0.0001) between the two groups. Furthermore, there were significant differences in overall survival (log-rank: χ2 = 18.47, P < 0.0001) and disease-free survival (log-rank: χ2 = 16.99, P < 0.0001) between the IMA-LN (-) and IMA-LN (+) subgroups of patients with Stage N2 disease. Multivariate survival analysis indicated that IMA-LN (+) was an independent risk factor of poor prognosis. There was no difference in the prognosis between high tie and low tie with IMA-LN dissection. CONCLUSION Inferior mesenteric artery lymph node metastasis was an independent predictive factor for high systemic recurrence. Low ligation of the IMA with IMA-LN dissection was not inferior to high ligation.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of the LOP regimen (L-asparaginase, vincristine, dexamethasone) combined with intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)in the treatment of early nasal NK/T cell lymphoma. Method: Clinical data of 65 patients with nasal NK/T cell lymphoma treated with LOP chemotherapy combined with IMRT at the Guizhou Province Tumor Hospital between March 2010 and January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among the 65 patients, 39 cases obtained complete remission (CR), 18 cases obtained partial remission(PR), 1 case obtained stable disease (SD), 7 cases had progressive disease(PD). The objective response rate (ORR) was 87.7%, the disease control rates (DCR) was 89.2%. The DCR was lower in the patients with B symptoms or over age of 60. Patients with super cavity obtained a worse progression-free survival(PFS). The 1-, 2-, 3-year PFS were 91.7%, 74.8% and 61.3%, the overall survival(OS) were 91.8%, 81.3% and 78.9%, respectively. Main adverse reactions were myelosuppression, gastrointestinal reaction, hepatic lesion, hypoproteinemia, percutaneous reaction and oral mucosa reaction. No severe pancreatitis, severe anaphylaxis and toxic related death were observed. Conclusion: The LOP regimen combined with IMRT treatment for nasal NK/T cell lymphoma may have a good therapeutic effect, low toxicity, and good tolerance.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of NCCN (2015) risk stratification on prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: Retrospective analysis of 258 patients with AML in CR (186 cases in CR(1), 72 cases in CR(2)) who underwent allogeneic HSCT in our hospital between April 2012 and March 2015 according to NCCN (2015) risk stratification. Of them, 63 cases were classified as low risk, 112 cases intermediate risk and 83 cases high risk. Results: ①With the median follow up of 18 (5-41) months, two-year disease free surviva (DFS) in 258 patients was 78.0% (95% CI 60.4%-96.6%) . Two-year DFS in AML after transplantation was 78.6% (95% CI 61.0%-96.2%) in low risk, 76.0% (95% CI 84.0%-93.6%) in intermediate risk and 80.3% (95% CI 62.7%-97.9%) (P=0.886) in high risk groups respectively. ②Univariate analysis showed that DFS has no significant difference in patient age, the median disease course before HSCT, the WBC number at the beginning of the disease, blood routine and chromosomes examination before transplantation, extramedullary disease before transplantation, disease status before transplantation, conditioning regimen, donor type, donor and recipient sex, recipient blood type, transfused MNC number, transfused CD34(+) cell number and transfused CD3(+) cell number. DFS was significant lower in primary AML than that in secondary AML (P=0.006) and also lower in MRD positive than that in MRD negative (P=0.003) . The accumulative relapse was significant higher in CR(2) compared to that in CR(1) (P=0.046) . Accumulative non-relapse mortality (NRM) was significanlyt higher in secondary AML compared to that in primary AML (P=0.004) and also higher in MRD positive compared to that in MRD negative (P=0.010) . ③Multivariate analysis showed that MRD positive was the only significant factor in DFS and NRM. Conclusion: Allo-HSCT treatment of AML CR patients could achieve a high efficacy, which is similar between CR(1) and CR(2) patients. There is no significant correlation between NCCN (2015) risk stratification and the prognosis of AML patients with allo-HSCT treatment. Pre-conditioning MRD status monitored by multiparameter flow cytometry was the only impact factor on DFS and NRM in allo-HSCT for CR-AML patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little consistent evidence is available for the association between the risk of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) and any of the individual genes in the folate/homocysteine metabolic pathway. We investigated the genes in the folate pathway to further clarify its potential influence on the risk of NSCL/P considering gene-gene (G×G) interaction. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We selected markers in 18 genes from the pathway and applied Cordell's method to test for G×G interaction using 1,908 NSCL/P case-parent trios ascertained in an international consortium where a genomewide association study (GWAS) of oral clefts was conducted. RESULTS We found intriguing signals among Asian and European ancestry groups for G×G interaction between markers in betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase gene (BHMT/BHMT2) and dimethylglycine dehydrogenase gene (DMGDH) attaining genomewide significance. In the pooled data, the top significant interaction was found between rs13158309 (BHMT) and rs10514154 (DMGDH, p = 1.45 × 10-12 ). CONCLUSIONS Our study illustrated the importance of taking into account potential G×G interaction for genetic association analysis in NSCL/P, and this study suggested both BHMT/BHMT2 and DMGDH should be considered as candidate genes for NSCL/P in future studies.

Abstract
Objectives As one of the heat-stable enterotoxins, Staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 (SEC2) is synthesized by Staphylococcus aureus, which has been proved to inhibit the growth of tumour cells, and is used as an antitumour agent in cancer immunotherapy. Although SEC2 has been reported to promote osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the in vivo function of SCE2 in animal model remains elusive. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the in vivo effect of SCE2 on fracture healing. Materials and Methods Rat MSCs were used to test the effects of SEC2 on their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potentials. A rat femoral fracture model was used to examine the effect of local administration of SEC2 on fracture healing using radiographic analyses, micro-CT analyses, biomechanical testing, and histological analyses. Results While SEC2 was found to have no effect on rat MSCs proliferation, it promoted the osteoblast differentiation of rat MSCs. In the rat femoral fracture model, the local administration of SEC2 accelerated fracture healing by increasing fracture callus volumes, bone volume over total volume (BV/TV), and biomechanical recovery. The SEC2 treatment group has superior histological appearance compared with the control group. Conclusion These data suggest that local administration of SEC2 may be a novel therapeutic approach to enhancing bone repair such as fracture healing. Cite this article: T. Wu, J. Zhang, B. Wang, Y.

Abstract
Epileptic seizures are refractory to treatment in approximately one-third of patients despite the recent introduction of many newer antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Development of novel AEDs therefore remains a high priority. Perampanel is a first-in-class non-competitive selective AMPA receptor antagonist with a unique mechanism of action. Clinical efficacy and safety of perampanel as adjunctive treatment for focal seizures with/without secondary generalization (±SG) and primary generalized tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures have been established in five phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and a long-term extension study, and perampanel is approved as monotherapy for focal seizures ±SG in the USA. In patients with focal seizures ±SG, add-on perampanel resulted in median percent reduction in seizure frequency 23.3%-34.5% and ≥50% responder rate 28.5%-37.6%; in PGTC seizures, these results were 76.5% and 64.2%, respectively. Efficacy among adolescents (reduction in seizure frequency 34.8%-35.6%; ≥50% responder rate 40.9%-45.0%) and elderly people (reduction in seizure frequency 12.5%-16.9%; ≥50% responder rate 22.2%-42.9%) is similar to those in adults, and results remain comparable between Asian (reduction in seizure frequency 17.3%-38.0%) and global populations. Perampanel has been extensively studied in real-world clinical practice, with similar efficacy and safety results to the RCTs (≥50% responder rate 12.8%-75.0%; adverse events of somnolence/sedation, dizziness, ataxia, and behavioral changes). Real-world observational studies suggest that perampanel tolerability can be improved by slow titration (2 mg every 2-4 weeks), and bedtime administration can mitigate somnolence and dizziness. Counseling about the potential for behavioral changes and close monitoring are recommended.
