Abstract
We explored the role of APC-mediated MDR-1/CLCX-1 signaling pathway in ovarian tumors. In this study, ovarian tumor cell lines SKOV-3, ES-2 and MCV-152 were used to conduct the research. Fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western-blotting were used to investigate the effects of MDR-1/CLCX-1 signaling pathway in ovarian tumors. The effects of the APC gene silencing and overexpression on proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian tumor cells were detected by flow cytometry. Compared to normal cells, the expression of APC gene mRNA in ovarian tumor cells was significantly decreased (p less than 0.05). Western-blotting results showed that the level of APC protein in ovarian tumor cells was significantly lower than that in normal tissue, while MDR-1/CLCX-1 related proteins levels were significantly increased (p less than 0.05). In the APC gene silenced ovarian tumor cell lines, the expression of MDR-1/CLCX-1 was significantly higher than that of the untreated group (p less than 0.05), and apoptosis of ovarian tumor cells decreased. However, in ovarian tumor cell lines that over-expressed APC gene, the expression of MDR-1/CLCX-1 was significantly lower than that of the untreated group (p less than 0.05), and apoptosis of ovarian tumor cells was increased. There is a certain correlation between the APC gene and ovarian tumors, and the APC gene mediates the apoptosis of tumor cells through the MDR-1/CLCX-1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of 23 G vitrectomy combined with preoperative subtenon injecfion of triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment. Methods: A retrospective analysis. Forty-eight (16 males and 32 females, aged 57.3±13.9) consecutive patients (48 eyes) who were diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment and received 23 G vitrectomy at the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University during January 2012 and January 2015 were enrolled. Twenty-three eyes were treated with subtenon injection TA 5 d before the planned 23 G vitrectomy (TA group). Twenty-five eyes were treated with dexamethasone 3 to 5 d before the planned vitrectomy (Dex group). Type-B ultrasonic, intraocular pressure, best corrected visual acuity examinations were conducted for all eyes on admission day, preoperatively and at 1 month, 3 month postoperatively, and during the last visit. The rate of reattachment, change of height of choroidal detachment, intraocular pressure, best corrected visual acuity, and the complication of the eyes between the two groups were compared. All patients were followed up at least half a year after the repair surgery. Results: The intraocular pressure of the TA group was higher than the Dex group[(8.58±3.83)mmHg vs. (6.70±2.49)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (t=2.032)], and the height of choroidal detachment was lower in TA group [0.90(0.00, 3.84)mm vs. 4.03(1.05, 5.38)mm, Z=-2.569, P<0.05]. There is no statistic difference between the reattachment rate of the two groups [95.7%(22/23) vs. 76.0%(19/25), χ(2)=2.304, P=0.129], but it seems it was better in TA group. The best corrected visual acuity results of the last visit was better in TA group than Dex group [(0.91±0.54) vs. (1.25±0.62), t=-2.034, P=0.048]. The rate of hypertention was higher in TA group than Dex group at 1 month, 3 month postoperatively(χ(2)=2.304, 5.648, P<0.05), while there was no statistic difference of hypertention rate during last visit between the two groups (χ(2)=0.006, P=0.941). Conclusions: The treatment of 23 G vitrectomy combined with subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide can improve the intraocular pressure, reduce the height of choroidal detachment, and improve the best corrected visual acuity after the surgery, but it may cause heyertenion.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) structures capable of reversible transformations in their geometrical layouts have important applications across a broad range of areas. Most morphable 3D systems rely on concepts inspired by origami/kirigami or techniques of 3D printing with responsive materials. The development of schemes that can simultaneously apply across a wide range of size scales and with classes of advanced materials found in state-of-the-art microsystem technologies remains challenging. Here, we introduce a set of concepts for morphable 3D mesostructures in diverse materials and fully formed planar devices spanning length scales from micrometres to millimetres. The approaches rely on elastomer platforms deformed in different time sequences to elastically alter the 3D geometries of supported mesostructures via nonlinear mechanical buckling. Over 20 examples have been experimentally and theoretically investigated, including mesostructures that can be reshaped between different geometries as well as those that can morph into three or more distinct states. An adaptive radiofrequency circuit and a concealable electromagnetic device provide examples of functionally reconfigurable microelectronic devices.

Abstract
Over the past few years, the development of lead-free and stable perovskite absorbers with excellent performance has attracted extensive attention. Much effort has been devoted to screening and synthesizing this type of solar cell absorbers. Here, we present a general design strategy for designing the layered halide double perovskites Cs3+nM(II)nSb2X9+3n (M = Sn, Ge) with desired photovoltaic-relevant properties by inserting [MX6] octahedral layers, based on the principles of increased electronic dimensionality. Compared to Cs3Sb2I9, more suitable band gaps, smaller carrier effective masses, larger dielectric constants, lower exciton binding energies, and higher optical absorption can be achieved by inserting variable [SnI6] or [GeI6] octahedral layers into the [Sb2I9] bilayers. Moreover, our results show that adjusting the thickness of inserted octahedral layers is an effective approach to tune the band gaps and carrier effective masses in a large range. Our work provides useful guidance for designing the promising layered antimony halide double perovskite absorbers for photovoltaic applications.

Abstract
Ultra-broad-band electromagnetic absorption materials and structures are increasingly attractive for their critical role in competing with the advanced broad-band electromagnetic detection systems. Mechanically soft and weak wax-based materials composites are known to be insufficient to serve in practical electromagnetic absorption applications. To break through such barriers, here we developed an innovative strategy to enable the wax-based composites to be robust and repairable meta-structures by employing a three-dimensional (3D) printed polymeric patterned shell. Because of the integrated merits from both the dielectric loss wax-based composites and mechanically robust 3D printed shells, the as-fabricated meta-structures enable bear mechanical collision and compression, coupled with ultra-broad-band absorption (7-40 and 75-110 GHz, reflection loss smaller than -10 dB) approaching state-of-the-art electromagnetic absorption materials. With the assistance of experiment and simulation methods, the design advantages and mechanism of employing such 3D printed shells for substantially promoting the electromagnetic absorption performance have been demonstrated. Therefore, such universal strategy that could be widely extended to other categories of wax-based composites highlights a smart stage on which high-performance practical multifunction meta-structures with ultra-broad-band electromagnetic absorption could be envisaged.

Abstract
Due to substantial development of electronics and telecommunication techniques, materials with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance are significant in alleviating the interference impacts induced from a remarkable variety of devices. In the work, we propose novel sandwich structures for manipulating the EM wave transport, which holds unique EMI shielding features of frequency selectivity. By employing electrical and magnetic loss spacers, the resultant sandwich structures are endowed with tunable EMI shielding performance, showing substantial improvements in overall shielding effectiveness along with pronounced shielding peak shift. The mechanisms suggest that the multiple interfaces, electromagnetic loss media, and changes of representative EM wavelength could be critical roles in tailoring the EMI shielding performance. The results provide a versatile strategy that could be extended in other frequency ranges and various types of sandwich structures, promising great opportunities for designing and fabricating advanced electromagnetic attenuation materials and devices.

Abstract
The antidiabetic effect of Lactobacillus is increasingly recognized worldwide. In this research, the hypoglycemic activity of Lactobacillus casei CCFM419 was investigated in mice with high-fat and low-dose streptozotocin induced type 2 diabetes. Oral L. casei CCFM419 administration favourably regulated blood glucose balance, increased glucose tolerance and protected islets in the diabetic mice, accompanied by an improvement in lipid metabolism. The homeostasis model of insulin resistance, insulin level and insulin tolerance test and mRNA expression of PI3K/Akt signalling pathway indexes revealed that L. casei CCFM419 had a positive effect on insulin resistance. Furthermore, treatment with L. casei CCFM419 recovered the level of short-chain fatty acids and increased the abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria, such as Allobaculum and Bacteriodes. These results demonstrated that L. casei CCFM419 had the potential ability to ameliorate insulin resistance and hyperglycaemic in type 2 diabetic mice through underlying PI3K/Akt signalling pathway and short-chain fatty acids/gut microbiota pathways.

Abstract
Origami structures are of great interest in microelectronics, soft actuators, mechanical metamaterials, and biomedical devices. Current methods of fabricating origami structures still have several limitations, such as complex material systems or tedious processing steps. We present a simple approach for creating three-dimensional (3D) origami structures by the frontal photopolymerization method, which can be easily implemented by using a commercial projector. The concept of our method is based on the volume shrinkage during photopolymerization. By adding photoabsorbers into the polymer resin, an attenuated light field is created and leads to a nonuniform curing along the thickness direction. The layer directly exposed to light cures faster than the next layer; this nonuniform curing degree leads to nonuniform curing-induced volume shrinkage. This further introduces a nonuniform stress field, which drives the film to bend toward the newly formed side. The degree of bending can be controlled by adjusting the gray scale and the irradiation time, an easy approach for creating origami structures. The behavior is examined both experimentally and theoretically. Two methods are also proposed to create different types of 3D origami structures.

Abstract
In our study, an elevated-temperature depth-sensing instrumented indentation apparatus was designed and developed to investigate thermo-mechanical response of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). A furnace was used to heat the test region up to 1600 °C and a heat protection design was proposed to protect electronic devices from high temperature environment. Load was applied by a precise loading motor and a piezoelectric actuator in high (0-440 N) and low (0-40 N) load ranges, respectively. A loading shielding scheme was designed to protect the low load sensor during the high loading process. In order to obtain reliable test data, the as-developed apparatus was calibrated at room and elevated temperatures. It is found that the developed apparatus was suitable to obtain the intended data. After that, two typical TBCs were tested from 600 to 1500 °C, and the load-depth curves were presented to show the main functions and usability of the measuring system.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to rapidly screen potential hypoglycaemic strain by α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro, then explored the antidiabetic effect of Lactobacillus plantarum CCFM0236 in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS The cell-free supernatant of Lact. plantarum CCFM0236 significantly inhibited α-glucosidase activity in vitro. Therefore, the effects of Lact. plantarum CCFM0236, with potential hypoglycaemia activity, on insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia were explored in high-fat and streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes mice. Oral administration of Lact. plantarum CCFM0236 was found to decrease food intake, blood glucose level, glycosylated haemoglobin level and leptin level. Treatments of Lact. plantarum CCFM0236 also favourably regulated insulin level, AUCglucose , and HOMA-IR index, and increased the activities of glutathione peroxidase and the levels of glutathione, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and interleukin-10. In addition, Lact. plantarum CCFM0236 reduced levels of malondialdehyde and tumour necrosis factor-α and protected pancreas function. CONCLUSIONS Lactobacillus plantarum CCFM0236 has potential hypoglycaemic ability by ameliorating insulin resistance, antioxidant capacity and systemic inflammation in mice. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The method of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity could be effectively used to screen potential hypoglycaemic products and Lact. plantarum CCFM0236 might be a promising therapeutic agent for ameliorating type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Objective: Prostate cancer is commonly diagnosed among old men while younger men are rarely diagnosed with prostate cancer. In this study we identify clinical and pathological features of 154 patients with prostate cancer younger than 55 years old and to assist intreatment decisions. Methods: The medical records of 154 prostate cancer patients younger than 55 years old in Peking University First Hospital from Feb 1953 to Jun 2016 were reviewed, retrospectively. Data was collected including symptoms, digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Gleason score, tumor stage, treatment strategies. Results: The mean age was 50.9±4.5, and 25.3% patients were between 40-50 years. Fifty-six (36.4%) patients initially presented with lower urinary tract symptoms. A solid mass could be found by digital rectal examination in 48(31.2%) patients. All patients were diagnosed by pathology of biopsy or surgery. The median Gleason score was 8. Gleason 2-6, 3+ 4, 4+ 3, 8, 9-10 were 15 cases(9.7%), 28 cases(18.2%), 21 cases(13.6%), 15 cases(9.7%), 51 cases(33.1%), respectively. Based on 2009 AJCC TNM Classification criteria the distribution of tumor stage was T1, T2, T3, and T4 in 2(1.3%), 54 (35.1%), 60 (39.0%), and 37 (24.0%) patients. Forty patients (25.9%) were found with bone metastasis and four (2.5%) suffered from visceral metastasis. Fifty-three(34.4%)underwent hormonal therapy and 79(51.3%) underwent radical prostatectomy. Conclusion: Younger prostate caner patients usually presented with LUTS symptoms and were featured for higher tumor stage and aggressiveness. More optimal and personalized risk-based therapy options are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the preoperative prognostic factors of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and construct preoperative risk stratification system. METHODS A retrospective study including 686 patients who were diagnosed with UTUC and received radical nephroureterectomy or partial ureterectomy in Peking University First Hospital during 2003 and 2013. RESULTS Of the 686 UTUC patients, 303 (44.2%) were male and 383 (55.8%) female. The postoperative pathological examination showed that 203 (29.6%) had high tumor stages (T3, T4), 300 (43.7%) had high tumor grades (G3) and 54 (7.9%) had lymph nodes metastasis (N1). After multivariate analysis, renal pelvic tumor, large tumor, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)≥30 mL/min, and male were associated with high tumor stage. Ureteral tumor, large tumor, and non-smoking history were associated with high tumor grade. Renal pelvis tumor, large tumor, and preoperative anemia were associated with positive N status. During the follow-up, 208 (30.3%) died for cancer and 210 (30.6%) developed intravesical recurrence. Multivariate analysis showed: large tumor (P=0.001), concomitant ipsilateral hydronephrosis (P=0.041), and preoperative anemia (P=0.001) were independently associated cancer-specific mortality after surgery, while ureteral tumor (P=0.04), multiple tumor (P=0.005), and high preoperative creatinine (P=0.036) were independent risk factors for intravesical recurrence. CONCLUSION Of the preoperative clinical parameters of UTUC patients, the large tumor, concomitant ipsilateral hydronephrosis, and preoperative anemia were independently associated with cancer-specific mortality after surgery. Ureteral tumor, multiple tumor, and high preoperative creatinine were independently associated with intravesical recurrence after surgery.

Abstract
Aspirin is an effective analgesic and antiplatelet drug that in addition to its ability to reduce pain, inflammation and fever, appears to have efficacy in the prevention/treatment of a range of diseases including heart disease, numerous cancers and Alzheimer's. It is important to understand the bioavailability of aspirin and its major metabolite, salicylic acid, since dosage and route of administration can vary for treating differing diseases, and the major side-effects of aspirin, upper gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding, are dose-dependent. We examined the time course for gastroduodenal uptake of aspirin and the appearance of its major metabolite salicylic acid in blood and lymph after intragastric (to simulate oral) and intraduodenal (to simulate enteric-coating) dosing in rats. Results show that after intragastric dosing, intact aspirin is absorbed primarily by the gastric mucosa and to a lesser extent by the duodenal mucosa. When aspirin is dosed intragastrically or intraduodenally, a much greater concentration of aspirin enters the lymph than the blood. In contrast, the concentration of salicylic acid was higher in blood than in lymph. Lymph levels of both aspirin and salicylic acid were sufficiently high so as to perform a pharmacologic function there, possibly as a chemopreventive agent against colon cancer and potentially the metastatic spread of non-gastrointestinal cancers.
