Abstract
Ferroptosis is an important form of myocardial cell death in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Naringenin (NAR), as a flavonoid, has a significant advantage in improving MIRI. But the regulatory effect and mechanism of NAR on ferroptosis in MIRI have not been reported. After the rats were given NAR and induced to form myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury, Tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was used to detect the myocardial infarction area of rats, and Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining was used to detect myocardial injury. The markers of tissue inflammation were detected by ELISA. Serum creatine kinase Serum creatin kinase (CPK), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and lipid peroxide (LPO) and oxidative stress related levels were measured. In addition, iron detection kits were used to detect total iron and Fe2+ levels in cardiac tissues, and western blot was used to detect the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins and the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). At the cellular level, H9C2 cardiomyocytes were induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), and ferroptosis inducer Erastin was administered to detect cell viability, ferroptosis-related indicators, oxidative stress related indicators, and expressions of Nrf2 and GPX4, to explore the mechanisms involved. NAR alleviated MI/R-induced pathological damage, inflammation and lipid peroxidation in myocardial tissue of rats. NAR adjusted the NRF2 /System xc – /GPX4 axis and improved ferroptosis. At the cellular level, ferroptosis inducer Erastin reversed the protective effect of NAR on H/R-induced H9C2 cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, NAR can alleviate MIRI by regulating the Nrf2/System xc-/GPX4 axis to inhibit ferroptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of cathepsin K (CTSK) regulated by mir-30a-wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in cementogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). METHODS Human PDLSCs isolated by limiting dilution culture were induced by enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) for differentiation into cementoblast-like cells. MicroRNA chip technique was employed to screen the differentially expressed microRNAs in the cells during induced differentiation. The effect of inhibiting miR-30a on CTSK expression in the induced cells was examined using RT-PCR and Western blotting. Ceramic scaffolds coated with PDLSCs treated with EMD and transfected with the miR-30a inhibitor or a lentiviral vector for CTSK overexpression were prepared and implanted subcutaneously in nude mice, and 8 weeks later the cellular expressions of cementoblast markers CAP and CEMP-1 were detected with immunohistochemistry to verify whether CTSK participate in cementogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. The role of wnt signaling pathway in miR-30a-mediated regulation of CTSK expression was explored by examining CTSK protein expressions after blocking wnt signaling in PDLSCs. RESULTS In PDLSCs with EMD-induced differentiation into cementoblast-like cells, multiple microRNAs exhibited differential expressions; and among them, miR-30a was specifically and significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05). Up-regulation of miR-30a obviously increased the expression of CTSK (P < 0.05) and promoted PDLSCs to form cementum-like tissues with high expressions of CAP and CEMP-1. The regulatory effect of miR-30a on CTSK expression was obviously attenuated after inhibiting wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. CONCLUSION EMD induces cementogenic differentiation of PDLSCs possibly by up-regulating the expression of miR-30a, which further activates the wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to enhance the expression of CTSK.

Abstract
Prevention of bacterial infection and reduction of hemorrhage, the primary challenges posed by trauma before hospitalization, are essential steps in prolonging the patient's life until they have been transported to a trauma center. Extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel is a promising biocompatible material for accelerating wound closure. However, due to the lack of antibacterial properties, this hydrogel is difficult to be applied to acute contaminated wounds. This study formulates an injectable dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel (porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM)) as a scaffold for skin defect repair. The hydrogel combines vancomycin, an antimicrobial agent for inducing hemostasis, expediting antimicrobial activity, and promoting tissue repair. The hydrogel possesses a porous structure beneficial for the adsorption of vancomycin. The antimicrobial agent can be timely released from the hydrogel within an hour, which is less than the time taken by bacteria to infest an injury, with a cumulative release rate of approximately 80%, and thus enables a relatively fast bactericidal effect. The cytotoxicity investigation demonstrates the biocompatibility of the ADM hydrogel. Dynamic coagulation experiments reveal accelerated blood coagulation by the hydrogel. In vivo antibacterial and hemostatic experiments on a rat model indicate the healing of infected tissue and effective control of hemorrhaging by the hydrogel. Therefore, the vancomycin-loaded ADM hydrogel will be a viable biomaterial for controlling hemorrhage and preventing bacterial infections in trauma patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a sudden reversible weakening of the left ventricle function induced by severe stress and resembles many features as acute coronary syndrome. Even though many guidelines had been published about TTS, there is no consensus regarding the long-term treatment. Aspirin is one of the most common prescribed medicines at discharge for patients with the intention to reduce thrombus events and improve the overall prognosis. However, existing studies yielded conflicting results concerning its effects. This study aims to evaluate the impact of long-term maintenance treatment of aspirin in TTS and provides insights in clinical management. METHODS AND ANALYSIS After searching through electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, National Library of Medicine Gateway, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP), grey literatures, conference abstract and trial registries for clinical studies investigating the impact of aspirin on patients with TTS, a systemic review and meta-analysis will be conducted. The search will be limited from inception of each database to 1 August 2020. The outcomes including all-cause death, TTS recurrence, stroke, transient ischaemic attack or myocardial infarction at 30-day and 5-year follow-up will be examined. Risk of bias will be assessed by Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale for observational studies and Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care evaluation tool for interventional studies. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluations method will be applied to assess the quality of evidence. If available, the effects of aspirin on the above outcomes for patients with TTS will be evaluated using random-effect modelling with relative risk at 95% CIs. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis will also be performed when possible. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was not required due to the retrospective nature of the study. Results of the review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020212729.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of serum mitochondrial ATP synthase C subunit level in the evaluation of cardiac functional status and prognosis in patients with sepsis. Methods: A total of 165 sepsis patients admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018 were included, there were 103 males (62.4%) and 62 females (37.6%) with an age of (63±14) years. Human ATP synthase lipid binding protein (ATP5G1) ELISA kit was used to detect the level of serum ATP synthase C subunit within 24 h after admission to EICU, and compared with that in 45 healthy subjects. Clinical data of patients were collected and divided into groups according to different left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and clinical outcomes. The differences in clinical indicators among each group were compared to evaluate the value of serum ATP synthase C subunit level in the evaluation of cardiac functional state and prognosis of patients with sepsis, and the independent risk factors for cardiac functional state and prognosis of patients with sepsis were analyzed. Results: Compared with the control group, the level of serum ATP synthase C subunit in the sepsis group was higher ((116±62) μg/L vs (77±34) μg/L, P<0.001). Compared with normal cardiac function group, the level of serum ATP synthase C subunit in septic cardiac dysfunction group was higher (P<0.001). Compared with the survival group, the level of serum ATP synthase C subunit in the death group was higher (P<0.05). The receiver operating curve (ROC) was drawn to analyze the value of ATP synthase C subunit, creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), troponin I (cTnI), left atrial end diastolic diameter, left ventricular end systolic diameter, left ventricular end diastolic volume, left ventricular end systolic volume in evaluating the cardiac function in patients with sepsis, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.928, 0.661, 0.837, 0.814, 0.703, 0.831, 0.794 and 0.765, respectively. The cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity of ATP synthase C subunit in it was 139.44 ng/L, 100% and 75.2%, respectively. ROC was drawn to analyze the prognostic value of age, urea nitrogen (BUN), ATP synthase C subunit, APACHEⅡ score and SAPSⅡ score in patients with sepsis, and the AUC was 0.719, 0.772, 0.656, 0.868 and 0.884, respectively. The cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity of ATP synthase C subunit in it was 131.24 ng/L, 61.9% and 68.7%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, BUN, ATP synthase C subunit, cardiac dysfunction, APACHEⅡ score and SAPS Ⅱ score were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with sepsis. Conclusion: The level of serum ATP synthase C subunit is closely related to cardiac dysfunction in patients with sepsis, and can effectively predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether protective colostomy and protective ileostomy have different impact on anastomotic leak for rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and radical surgery. Methods: A retrospectively cohort study was conducted. Inclusion criteria: (1) Standard neoadjuvant therapy before operation; (2) Laparoscopic rectal cancer radical resection was performed; (3) During the operation, the protective enterostomy was performed including transverse colostomy and ileostomy; (4) The patients were followed up regularly; (5) Clinical data was complete. Exclusion criteria: (1) Colostomy and radical resection of rectal cancer were not performed at the same time; (2) Intestinal anastomosis is not included in the operation, such as abdominoperineal resection; (3) Rectal cancer had distant metastasis or multiple primary colorectal cancer. Finally 208 patients were included in this study. They suffered from rectal cancer and underwent protective stoma in radical surgery after nCRT at our hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. There were 148 males and 60 females with age of (60.5±11.1) years. They were divided into protective transverse colostomy group (n=148) and protective ileostomy group (n=60). The main follow up information included whether the patient has anastomotic leak and the type of leak according to ISREC Grading standard. Besides, stoma opening time, stoma flow, postoperative hospital stay, stoma related complications and postoperative intestinal flora were also collected. Results: A total of 28 cases(13.5%) suffered from anastomotic leak and 26 (92.9%) of them happened in the early stage after surgery (less than 30 days) . As for these early-stage leak, ISREC Grade A happened in 11 cases(42.3%), grade B in 15 cases(57.7%) and no grade C occurred. There was no significant difference in the incidence [12.8% (19/148) vs. 15.0% (9/60) , χ(2)=0.171, P=0.679] or type [Grade A: 5.4%(8/147) vs. 5.1%(3/59); Grade B: 6.8%(10/147) vs. 8.5%(5/59), Z=0.019, P=1.000] of anastomotic leak between the transverse colostomy group and ileostomy group (P>0.05), as well as operation time, postoperative hospital stay, drainage tube removal time or stoma reduction time (P>0.05). There were 10 cases (6.8%) and 24 cases (40.0%) suffering from intestinal flora imbalance in protective transverse colostomy and protective ileostomy group, respectively (χ(2)=34.503, P<0.001). Five cases (8.3%) suffered from renal function injury in the protective ileostomy group, while protective colostomy had no such concern (P=0.002). The incidence of peristomal dermatitis in the protective colostomy group was significantly lower than that in the protective ileostomy group [12.8% (9/148) vs. 33.3%(20/60), χ(2)=11.722, P=0.001]. Conclusions: It is equally feasible and effective for rectal cancer patients after nCRT to carry out protective transverse colostomy or ileostomy in radical surgery. However, we should pay more attention to protective ileostomy patients, as they are at high risk of intestinal flora imbalance, renal function injury and peristomal dermatitis.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the cumulative reoperation rate of postoperative Crohn's disease (CD) patients and investigate the operation reasons and the effects of drugs on surgical recurrence. Method: Patients with Crohn's disease who had undergone intestinal resection from January 2000 to March 2020 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into reoperation and non-reoperation group according to whether they had a second operation. And the basic characteristics and the reasons for the primary and second operation were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, patients were divided into low-risk reoperation group and high-risk group based on risk stratification. Kaplan-Meier methods were performed to analyze the cumulative surgical recurrence rate and to compare the recurrence rate in different risk stratification and chi-square tests was used to analyze the effects of different maintenance drugs on reoperation. Result: A total of 160 patients were enrolled in the study. There were 110 males and 50 females, and the age at first operation was (35.6±14.1) years old. There were 40 patients in the reoperation group and 120 patients in the non-reoperation group. According to univariate analysis, the proportion of male gender(P=0.030), penetrating phenotype(P<0.001), history of appendectomy before the primary surgery(P=0.035) and no postoperative maintenance therapy (P<0.001) were higher in surgical recurrence group. In terms of the operation reasons, intestinal obstruction accounted for the highest proportion in the primary operation (26.9%, 43/160), while the intestinal fistula was the most common reason for reoperation (42.5%, 17/40). After the primary surgery, the cumulative reoperation rates at 1, 3, 5 and 10 years were 5.9% (9 cases), 12.3% (17 cases), 21.8% (25 cases) and 37.6% (34 cases), respectively. The ten years cumulative reoperation rate of the high-risk group was 42.8% (31 cases), which was much higher than that of low-risk group (19.8%, 3 cases), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.006). There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical recurrence rate of low-risk group patients(P=0.076)whether maintenance therapies were added or not, while the recurrence rate of high-risk group patients who did not receive maintenance therapy was higher than those who received immunosuppressant with or without (±) 5-aminosalicylic acid (ASA) (P=0.001) and biological agent±5-ASA (P=0.001), and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Patients with CD are still at risk of reoperation after surgery. Immunosuppressive agents and biologics can prevent patients from reoperation in high-risk groups.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association of the cadmium internal exposure with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Chinese adults aged 18 and older. Methods: A total of 9 821 adults aged 18-79 from the China National Human Biomonitoring (CNHBM) from 2017 to 2018 were included. Blood and urine cadmium exposure levels were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and urine cadmium levels were adjusted with urine creatinine; CKD were defined by estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) using the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI). Weights were considered due to complex sampling process for in statistical analysis. Logistic regression is used to analyze the association of blood cadmium, urine cadmium, and urine cadmium adjusted with creatinine exposure levels with CKD, and restricted cube spline (RCS) was used to assess the exposure-response curve of blood cadmium, urine cadmium and urine cadmium adjusted with creatinine with CKD. Results: The weighted age was 44.75 and males accounted for 61.1%. The prevalence rate of CKD was 12.7%. The geometric mean values of blood cadmium, urine cadmium, and urine cadmium adjusted with creatinine were 0.96 μg/L, 0.61 μg/L, and 0.58 μg/g. After adjusting for confounding factors, the weighted logistic regression showed that the lowest quintile (Q1) was compared with the odds ratio (OR) of the highest quintile (Q5) of blood cadmium, urine cadmium, and urine cadmium adjusted with creatinine and the 95% confidence interval (CI) was 1.80 (1.02-3.20), 1.77 (0.94-3.31) and 1.94 (1.11-3.37) respectively. In the restricted cubic spline regression model, non-linear association of blood cadmium, urine cadmium, and urine cadmium adjusted with creatinine with CKD were observed after adjusting for related confounding factors (P<0.001, 0.018, 0.031 respectively). The risk of CKD increased with the increment of cadmium exposure without risk threshold, and the exposure response curve was steeper at low cadmium exposure. Conclusions: Among Chinese adults aged 18 and older, cadmium exposure is positively associated with the risk of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Background:Ixekizumab (IXE) has demonstrated efficacy in treating the signs and symptoms of radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) in patients (pts) up to week (Wk) 52 [1]. Pts may experience fluctuations in the improvements of their symptoms, which may impact their overall quality of life [2]. Providing data at the pt level is important to support consistency and sustainability of efficacy.Objectives:To analyse IXE response for sustainability at the individual pt level, between Wks 16 and 52.Methods:COAST-V (NCT02696785) and COAST-W (NCT02696798) were two phase 3, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (adalimumab was the active control in COAST-V). Pts with active r-axSpA who were either biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD) naïve (COAST-V) or, inadequate responders or intolerant to up to 2 TNF inhibitors (COAST-W) received IXE every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 2 weeks (Q2W). Only IXE Q4W pts were included in the present analysis (approved dosage for the indication). Separate analyses were conducted on pts who achieved either endpoint; ASAS40 or ASDAS<2.1. The proportion (%) of pts who achieved either ASAS40 or ASDAS<2.1, at Wk 16 and at each visit out to Wk 52 (total of 8 visits) was assessed. Missing data were imputed as non-response. Heatmaps were used to depict the data analysed at the individual patient level across all visits.Results:In COAST-V, 81 pts enrolled in the trial were initially randomised to IXE Q4W. Of those, 48% (N=39) of pts achieved ASAS40 at Wk 16 (Figure 1), of which 59% (N=23) maintained ASAS40 at every visit afterwards. In total, 85% (N=33) of the ASAS40 achievers at Wk 16 maintained ASAS40 with some (26% (N=10)) fluctuations, between ASAS40 and ASAS20. In COAST-W, 114 pts enrolled in the trial were initially randomised to IXE Q4W. Of those, 25.4% (N=29) pts achieved ASAS40 at Wk 16, of which, 69% (N=20) maintained ASAS40 at every visit afterwards. In total, 83% (N=24), of the ASAS40 achievers at Wk 16 maintained ASAS40 with some (14% (N=4)) fluctuations, between ASAS40 and ASAS20.Of the 81 pts initially randomised to IXE Q4W in COAST-V, 35 pts achieved low disease activity (ASDAS<2.1, LDA) at Wk 16. Of those, 54% (N=19) of pts maintained LDA at every visit afterwards. In total, 91% (N=32) of the ASDAS-LDA achievers at Wk 16 maintained LDA with some (37% (N=13)) fluctuations, between LDA and high disease activity (ASDAS 2.1-3.5, HDA). Of the 114 pts initially randomised to IXE Q4W in COAST-W, 20 pts achieved LDA at Wk 16. Of those, 50% (N=10) of pts maintained LDA at every visit afterwards. In total, 95% (N=19) of the ASDAS-LDA achievers at Wk 16 maintained LDA with some (45% (N=9)) fluctuations between LDA and HDA.Conclusion:This analysis demonstrates that pts with r-axSpA and treated with IXE Q4W who achieve ASAS40 or ASDAS-LDA at Wk 16 show a sustainable response, at the individual patient level, with similar levels of efficacy over time and at each visit out to week 52.References:[1]Dougados et al., Ann Rheum Dis. 2020; 79(2):176-185.[2]Essers et al., Rheumatology. 2016;55(11):2014-22.Figure 1.Heatmap diagram depicting the sustained effect of IXE over time at the pt level in pts with r-axSpA from COAST-V.

Abstract
Background:Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a condition characterized by major large-vessel vasculitis (LVV), and is most commonly found in young women (age <40 years) of East Asia countries. 18F-FDG-PET/CT has been widely used in the diagnosis and follow-up of cancers to gather functional information based on metabolic activity. In the present study, we evaluated the value of different parameters in 18F-FDG-PET/CT for assessing active TA disease, and we establish a simple, quantifiable, and effective disease activity evaluation model based on 18F-FDG-PET/CT. A comparison in the ability to identify active disease was performed between the established Kerr score and the new 18F-FDG-PET/CT was also performed.Objectives:To investigate the utility of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in assessing disease activity in TA.Methods:Ninety-one patients with TA, were recruited from a Chinese cohort from October 2017 to January 2019. Clinical data, acute-phase reactants (APRs), and 18F-FDG-PET/CT findings were simultaneously recorded. The Physician Global Assessment was used as the gold standard to assess TA disease activity. The value of using 18F-FDG-PET/CT to identify active disease was evaluated, using erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as a reference. Disease activity assessment models were constructed and concordance index (C-index), net reclassification index (NRI), and integrated discrimination index (IDI) were evaluated to compare the benefits of the new modes with ESR and Kerr score.Results:In total, 64 (70.3%) cases showed active disease. Higher levels of ESR and CRP, and lower interleukin (IL)-2R levels, were observed in active cases. 18F-FDG-PET/CT parameters, including SUVmean, SUVratio1, SUVratio2, sum of SUVmean, and sum of SUVmax, were significantly higher in active disease groups. The C index threshold of ESR to indicate active disease was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.69-0.88). The new activity assessment model combining ESR, sum of SUVmean, and IL-2R showed significant improvement in C index over the ESR method (0.96 vs. 0.78, P < 0.01; NRI 1.63, P < 0.01; and IDI 0.48, P < 0.01). The new model also demonstrated modest superiority to Kerr score assessment (0.96 vs. 0.87, P = 0.03; NRI 1.19, P < 0.01; and IDI 0.33 P < 0.01).Conclusion:A novel 18F-FDG-PET/CT-based method that involves combining the sum of SUVmean with ESR score and IL-2R levels demonstrated superiority in identifying active TA compared to conventional methods.References:[1]Kerr GS, Hallahan CW, Giordano J, Leavitt RY, Fauci AS, Rottem M, et al.

Abstract
AIM To assess systematically the prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The full text of studies of the clinical efficacy of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in ARVC was retrieved in multiple databases. Stata 14 was adopted for meta-analysis and bias analysis. Heterogeneity was assessed with the I2 statistic. RESULTS After exclusions, 561 patients were included in five studies, and the eligibility criteria were met. The meta-analysis suggested that there was a significant difference between LGE positive and negative patients with ARVC in all-cause mortality (relative risk [RR] = 4.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.41, 16.23, p=0.012; p for heterogeneity = 0.692, I2 = 0%); major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (RR=2.48, 95% CI = 1.24, 4.96, p=0.010; p for heterogeneity = 0.596, I2 = 0%); ventricular tachycardia (RR=3.13, 95% CI = 1.69, 5.78, p<0.001; p for heterogeneity = 0.825, I2 = 0%); implanted cardiac defibrillators (RR=3.15, 95% CI = 1.69, 5.87], p<0.001; p for heterogeneity = 0.353, I2 = 9.4%). CONCLUSION LGE in ARVC patients is a predictor of all-cause mortality and MACE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Liver cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death, causing more than 700,000 deaths every year. It has been demonstrated that Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) plays an important regulatory role in a series of diseases. However, the regulatory mechanism of LncRNAs in liver cancer has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to explore the interaction of lncRNA HOTAIRM1 and aberrant histone modification in liver cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of RIZ1 and miR-125b in liver cancer cells. Cell proliferation was measured using the CCK8 assay. ChIP-Real-time PCR confirmed the binding site of the promoter of HOTAIRM1 by H3K9me1. The direct target of HOTAIRM1 and miR-125b in liver cancer cells was measured by a luciferase reporter assay. Cell proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8). Cell invasion was measured by transwell assays and cell migration was detected by wound healing assay. RESULTS The expression level of RIZ1 and miR-125b was upregulated, and HOTAIRM1 was downregulated in liver cancer cells. Transwell and CCK-8 assay showed that RIZ1 expression is associated with the proliferation, invasion and migration of liver cancer cells, silencing of RIZ1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in HEPG2 and HCC-LM3 cells. RIZ1 interference could significantly inhibit H3K9me1 expression. H3K9me1 protein can bind to HOTAIRM1 promoter directly. Furthermore, the bioinformatics prediction and luciferase assay demonstrated that miR-125b can interact with HOTAIRM1 by direct binding. HOTAIRM1 down-expression promoted HEPG2 cell growth and metastasis, which was further strengthened following the co-transfection of miR-125b. Furthermore, overexpressed HOTAIRM1 inhibited HCC-LM3 cell growth and metastasis and a complete reversal of the results seen when transfected with miR-125b. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, we found that RIZ1 was upregulated in liver cancer cells and RIZ1-mediated H3K9me1 enrichment on the HOTAIRM1 promoter regulated the growth and metastasis of liver cancer cells by targeting miR-125b, which could further accelerate tumor proliferation, migration and invasion. It may serve as a therapeutic marker for liver cancer treatment.

Abstract
Objectives: Although Baduanjin (a traditional Chinese physical activity) has been reported to promote general health, the optimal exercise intensity and kinematic characteristics of this intervention remain poorly understood. This investigation aimed to quantify and compare the exercise intensities of traditional standing Baduanjin (TB) and sitting Baduanjin (SB) using cardiopulmonary exercise testing, to further clarify the sources of the previously observed benefits of this modality. Study design: Observational study. Interventions: Healthy individuals were recruited to perform TB, SB, and cycling (in order) until they reached their ventilatory threshold. Intensity-relevant parameters based on type of exercise and specific time points (exercise start and the end of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th set of motion) were compared between TB and SB with ventilatory threshold as control. Results: Forty individuals (18 male and 22 female) completed the trial. Significant differences in peak oxygen uptake, metabolic equivalent of task, and Borg scale existed among the three exercise types, indicating a decreasing overall exercise intensity in the order of ventilatory threshold, TB, and SB. All parameters except the respiratory exchange ratio fluctuated significantly across the time points. Conclusions: Both TB and SB resulted in a significantly lower exercise intensity when compared with the ventilatory threshold established through cycling exercise. The benefits of Baduanjin might be explained partly by its appropriate exercise intensity and intermittent intensity pattern. Baduanjin might be a potential alternative to existing schemes for exercise rehabilitation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This article aims to examine the disparities in dental service utilization among 3 age groups: younger adults (20-49 y), middle-aged adults (50-64 y), and older adults (65+ y), among Whites, Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, American Indians or Alaska Natives (AIAN), and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islanders (NHOPI). METHODS Weighted logistic regression models were conducted to analyze 9 waves of cross-sectional survey data (2002-2018) from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. We estimated age group- and race/ethnic-specific prevalences of dental service utilization adjusting sociodemographics and self-rated health for each wave and compared with crude analysis. Next, we performed linear regression analysis of the trend of adjusted prevalences over time and the average level by race/ethnicity and age groups. RESULTS Racial/ethnic disparities increased with age, even though the adjusted prevalences of dental service utilization were less apparent than the crude analysis. The all-wave average prevalence was 71%. Black older adults had the lowest level of dental service utilization (65%) as compared with the 2 highest groups: White older adults (79%) and Asian older adults (76%). The general younger adult populations had low prevalences, with the lowest among Asian younger adults (65%). AIAN and NHOPI individuals from all age groups tended to have average or below average prevalences. In addition, a decreasing trend of dental service utilization was observed among White individuals of all age groups (0.2%-0.3% lower per year, P < 0.01) and AIAN younger adults (0.5% lower per year, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Health policy, federal funding, and community-based programs should address the needs of dental service utilization for racial/ethnic minorities including Blacks, AIANs, and NHOPIs. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT Our study offers insights into our understanding of disparities in dental service utilization among minority racial/ethnic groups. As health policy, federal funding, and community-based programs seek to improve oral health, there is a need to address access to and utilization of dental service for Blacks, American Indians or Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islanders.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of plasma uric acid level on the incident risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among the oldest old (those aged ≥80 years). Methods: Participants were recruited from the Healthy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study (HABCS), which conducted a baseline survey in 2008-2009 and follow-up of 3 times in 2011-2012, 2014, and 2017-2018, respectively. A total of 2 213 oldest old were enrolled in this study. The general demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle and disease data of the oldest old were collected, and physical measurements were made for the oldest old. Fasting venous blood was collected for uric acid and blood glucose detection. Information on the incident and death of T2DM were collected through the follow-up. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to explore the association of hyperuricemia and plasma uric acid level with the incidence of T2DM. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) function was used to explore the dose-response relationship of plasma uric acid levels with the risk of T2DM. Results: The age of participants was (93.2±7.6) years old, and 66.7% of the participants (1 475) were female. The plasma uric acid level at baseline was (289.1±88.0)μmol/L, and the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 13.3% (294 cases). During 9 years of cumulative follow-up of 7 471 person-years (average of 3.38 years for each), 122 new cases of T2DM occurred and the incidence density was 1 632.98/105 person year. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that per 10μmol/L increase in plasma uric acid level, the risk of T2DM increased by 1.1% [HR (95%CI): 1.011 (1.004, 1.017)]. Compared with the participants with the lowest quintile of plasma uric acid (Q1), the risk of diabetes increased by 20.7 % among the oldest old with uric acid in the highest quintile (Q5) [HR (95%CI):1.207 (1.029, 1.416)]. The risk of T2DM was 19.2% higher in the hyperuricemia group than that in the oldest old with normal plasma uric acid [HR (95%CI): 1.192 (1.033, 1.377)]. RCS function showed that the risk of T2DM increased with the increase in plasma uric acid levels in a nonlinear dose-response relationship (P=0.016). Conclusion: The incident risk of T2DM increases with the elevates of plasma uric acid levels in the oldest old.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The anti-inflammatory effect of Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) during intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been widely confirmed. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) activation is the initiating inflammatory response associated with the IDD. However, whether Sirt1 suppresses MCP-1 in the intervertebral disc is unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS The MCP-1 and Sirt1 protein expression in the degenerated and non-degenerated NP tissues were compared by immunohistochemistry (IHC). We induced nucleus pulposus (NP) cell degeneration by IL-1β and mediated cellular Sirt1 expression through the Sirt1 activator resveratrol (Res) or inhibitor Nicotinamide (Nico). In addition, the inhibitors of MCP-1 and Activator protein 1 (AP-1) were also used in cell culture. The function of NP cells was determined by the type II collagen and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. We assessed the Sirt1 and MCP-1 expression by the Reverse Transcription-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). The AP-1 activity was valued by the phosphorylation of its components c-Fos, and c-Jun. RESULTS Both in vivo and in vitro experimental results indicated that MCP-1 was upregulated in the degenerated condition, which was opposite to Sirt1 expression. Res suppressed AP-1, the phosphorylation of c-Fos/c-Jun, and the MCP-1 expression. On the contrary, Sirt1 downregulation by Nico aggravated the phosphorylation of c-Fos/c-Jun and MCP-1 expression. However, the MCP-1 suppression did not affect the Sirt1 and AP-1 levels. The destruction of AP-1 activation also inhibited MCP-1 expression but not Sirt1. The upregulation of Sirt1 and suppression of MCP-1 improved the type II collagen expression and cell viability, which was injured by IL-1β. CONCLUSIONS Sirt1 suppresses the MCP-1 production in the degenerated NP cells by suppressing the phosphorylation of the AP-1 subunits c-Fos and c-Jun.
