Abstract
Objective: To isolate the influenza A (H3N2) viruses from different sources in Guangzhou in 2019 and analyze these viruses' evolution and variation characteristics. Methods: The hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of H3N2 isolates from outpatient monitoring, influenza outbreaks, and inpatient severe cases in Guangzhou in 2019 were sequenced. Bioinformatics software analyzed the variations and evolution characteristics of HA and NA genes. Results: The epidemic peaks of influenza A (H3N2) viruses were made up of period Ⅰ (from January to August) and period Ⅱ (from November to December). The positive rate of influenza A (H3N2) in males was 13.46% (703/5 221), which was higher than that in females (11.50%, 510/4 435) (χ2=8.43,P=0.00). The group's positive rate of 10-20 years old was the highest (25.18%,665/2 641). The isolates from different sources were highly homologous and closely related to 3C.2a.1 branches, which could be further divided into three small groups of Group 1-3. Gene recombination was observed between different branches. The mutations of HA antigen sites gradually appeared from Group 1 to Group 3, leading to new antigen drift. Variations of HA antigenic sites mainly occurred in the region of A and B. The mutations of receptor binding sites of Group 1 and Group 3 viruses occurred in the anterior and posterior walls. There were two glycosylation sites lacked on region A of HA antigen observed in the isolates of Group 2-3. Conclusions: Genetic variations of H3N2 influenza viruses in Guangzhou included gene mutations and gene recombination. Under the pressure of the vaccine, the evolution of viruses was rapid. Therefore, the monitoring of molecular-related epidemic characteristics of the H3N2 influenza virus was necessary.

Abstract
Classical plasma are typically of low density and/or high temperature. Two of its basic properties are Landau damping and two-stream instabilities. When increasing the plasma density, quantum effects appear and beam-plasma interactions show behavior different from the classical cases. We revisit Landau damping and two-stream instabilities under conditions when quantum hydrodynamic and quantum kinetic theory can be applied, the latter accounting for wave-particle interactions. We find that the instability growth rate behaves as pure two-stream instability without Landau damping when the countering stream velocity exceeds a certain threshold, which differs from the classical case.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the biological functions of circ_0032627 in the progression of gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression level of circ_0032627 in GC cell lines and gastric mucosal cell lines was measured via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, colony formation assay, and FACS were performed to examine the influences of circ_0032627 on the proliferation and apoptosis of GC cells. The relationship between circ_0032627 and micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) was predicted on-line using StarBase software, and whether circ_0032627 can act as the sponge of the selected miRNAs was verified via Dual-Luciferase reporter assay and qRT-PCR. Finally, MTT assay was conducted to detect the influences of the co-knockdown of circ_0032627 and the selected miRNAs on the proliferation of GC cells. RESULTS Compared with that in gastric mucosal cell lines, the expression level of circ_0032627 was upregulated in the selected four GC cell lines, and circ_0032627 knockdown substantially inhibited the proliferation of GC cells, but promoted their apoptosis. Circ_0032627 could act as a sponge of miR-502-5p, and miR-502-3p knockdown reversed the inhibitory effect of circ_0032627 on the proliferation of GC cells. CONCLUSIONS The expression level of circ_0032627 is raised in GC cells, and circ_0032627 affects the proliferation and apoptosis of GC cells by sponging miR-502-5p.

Abstract
Ultrafast control of material physical properties represents a rapidly developing field in condensed matter physics. Yet, accessing the long-lived photoinduced electronic states is still in its early stages, especially with respect to an insulator to metal phase transition. Here, by combining transport measurement with ultrashort photoexcitation and coherent phonon spectroscopy, we report on photoinduced multistage phase transitions in Ta2NiSe5. Upon excitation by weak pulse intensity, the system is triggered to a short-lived state accompanied by a structural change. Further increasing the excitation intensity beyond a threshold, a photoinduced steady new state is achieved where the resistivity drops by more than four orders at temperature 50 K. This new state is thermally stable up to at least 350 K and exhibits a lattice structure different from any of the thermally accessible equilibrium states. Transmission electron microscopy reveals an in-chain Ta atom displacement in the photoinduced new structure phase. We also found that nano-sheet samples with the thickness less than the optical penetration depth are required for attaining a complete transition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to uncover the function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) AWPPH in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the potential mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS AWPPH and microRNA (miRNA-204) levels in NSCLC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Kaplan-Meier curves were introduced for assessing overall survival in NSCLC patients expressing high or low level of AWPPH. Potential correlation between expression levels of AWPPH and miRNA-204 in NSCLC tissues was analyzed by Spearman correlation test. Through Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay, the interaction among AWPPH, miRNA-204, and CDK6 was identified. Potential impacts of AWPPH/miRNA-204/CDK6 regulatory loop on mediating proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities of A549 cells were evaluated through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assay. RESULTS Upregulated AWPPH and downregulated miRNA-204 were determined in NSCLC tissues. AWPPH level was negatively correlated to overall survival in NSCLC patients and miRNA-204 level in NSCLC tissues. Silence of AWPPH attenuated proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities in A549 cells. MiRNA-204 was the downstream gene of AWPPH. Knockdown of miRNA-204 reversed the decreased viability, migratory, and invasive rates in A549 cells with AWPPH knockdown. In addition, CDK6 was the target gene of miRNA-204. Overexpression of miRNA-204 downregulated CDK6 level in A549 cells. The attenuated proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities in A549 cells overexpressing miRNA-204 were reversed after CDK6 overexpression. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA AWPPH serves as the miRNA-204 sponge to upregulate CDK6 level, thus aggravating the progression of NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Aging induced chronic systemic inflammatory response is an important risk factor for atherosclerosis (AS) development; however, the detailed mechanism is yet to be elucidated. Objective To explore the underlying mechanism of how aging aggravates AS advancement. Methods A young (five-week-old, YM) and aged group (32-week-old, OM) male apoE-/- mice with a high fat diet were used as models, and age-matched male wild-type C57BL/6J (WT) mice were used as controls. AS lesion size, serum lipid profile, cytokines, and gut microbiota-derived LPS were analyzed after 32 weeks of diet intervention. A correlation analysis between the 16S rRNA sequencing of the feces and serum metabolomics profiles was applied to examine the effect of their interactions on AS. Results ApoE-/- mice developed severe atherosclerosis and inflammation in the aorta compared to the WT groups, and aged apoE-/- mice suffered from a more severe AS lesion than their younger counterparts and had low-grade systemic inflammation. Furthermore, increased levels of serum LPS, decreased levels of SCFAs production, as well as dysfunction of the ileal mucosal barrier were detected in aged mice compared with their younger counterparts. There were significant differences in the intestinal flora composition among the four groups, and harmful bacteria such as Lachnospiraceae_FCS020, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-009, Acetatifactor, Lachnoclostridium and Lactobacillus_gasseri were significantly increased in the aged apoE-/- mice compared with the other groups. Concurrently, metabolomics profiling revealed that components involved in the arachidonic acid (AA) metabolic pathway such as 20-HETE, PGF2α, arachidonic acid, and LTB4 were significantly higher in the aged AS group than in the other groups. This suggested that metabolic abnormalities and disorders of intestinal flora occurred in AS mice. Conclusions Aging not only altered the gut microbiome community but also substantially disturbed metabolic conditions. Our results confirm that AA metabolism is associated with the imbalance of the intestinal flora in the AS lesions of aged mice. These findings may offer new insights regarding the role of gut flora disorders and its consequent metabolite changed in inflammaging during AS development.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the roles between two different HIV self-testing models in promoting HIV-testing among men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: This paper focuses on two HIV self-testing service models. The first; is the online self-testing model (HIV self-testing conventional model) with the sexual health promotion network platform. The other one is an innovative HIV self-testing model (secondary distribution model), based on the previous program. The two different self-testing models, including the number of indexes and alters, the positive rate, and the demographics of indexes and alters, are compared. The influence of volunteers with or without leadership on the number of HIV self-test kits distributed or self-use is analyzed through the leadership survey scale. Results: The return rates of HIV self-testing results in the two models are 94.7%(323/341) and 99.2%(1 141/1 150), respectively, within 30 days. The proportion of alters in the secondary distribution is significantly higher (45.9%,281/612) than the conventional HIV self-testing (6.3%,20/318). In the secondary distribution model, the difference between the number of indexes and alters indicators including age, marital status, residence, sex orientation, anal sex with men in the past six months, and HIV test are statistically significant (χ2 test, all P<0.05). The opinion leader of MSM has significantly impacted the promotion of HIV self-testing (P<0.05). Conclusions: Both models can promote HIV self-testing, result return, and HIV positive detection among MSM. In terms of expanding the testing and detection of HIV positive, the secondary distribution mode shows more obvious advantages, which significantly promotes a large number of MSM who have never been tested for HIV to undergo HIV testing. Influential indexes have a significant effect on increasing the HIV testing rate and promoting HIV testing among MSM.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the changing trends of HIV testing rates, with a focus on HIV self-testing, and to evaluate the impact of HIV self-testing on expanding HIV testing among MSM in China in past few years. Methods: MSM were recruited online nationwide via a gay social networking app (Blued) from 2013 to 2016 and 2018. The survey collected information about socio-demographic backgrounds, sexual behaviors, and prior HIV testing experiences, including HIV self-testing. Trend analyses were conducted. Results: Respectively, 1 342, 1 424, 1 173, 2 105 and 699 MSM were recruited nationwide from 2013 to 2016, and in 2018. The mean age was (30.6±6.6)years in 2013 and showed a decreasing trend afterwards. The HIV testing rate was 60.0% (805/1 342) in 2013 and there was a rising trend from 2013 to 2016, and 2018 (trend Z =19.3, P <0.001), reaching a peak at 77.3% (540/699) in 2018. Further, the HIV self-testing rate increased from 19.3% (259/1 342) in 2013 to 58.1% (406/699) in 2018 (χ2=237.5, P <0.001). The proportion of MSM who had HIV self-testing among prior HIV testers significantly increased from 32.2% (259/805) to 75.2% (406/540) during the study period (trend Z =14.3, P <0.001). Conclusions: The HIV testing rate, HIV self-testing rate and proportion of men who had HIV self-testing among former HIV testers among web-based Chinese MSM showed substantial increases from 2013 to 2016,and 2018. This suggests that HIV self-testing may have a significant effect on the expansion of HIV testing coverage in MSM, and has important public health implications for HIV/AIDS prevention in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA UPK1A-AS1 on glycolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and its underlying molecular mechanisms. OBJECTIVE A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line with lentivirus-mediated stable UPK1A-AS1 overexpression and the cells infected with a negative control lentiviral vector were cultured under normoxic (21% O2) or hypoxic (1% O2) conditions for 24 h. The effect of UPK1A-AS1 overexpression on glycolysis of the HCC cells was examined. The expressions of glycolysis-related genes HIF1A, GLUT1, HK1, HK2 and PGK1 were detected by qRTPCR, and the effect of UPK1A-AS1 overexpression on HRE activity was detected by dual luciferase report assay. The HCC cells were treated with cycloheximide to detect the effect of UPK1A-AS1 overexpression on the stability of HIF-1α protein. Immunoprecipitation assay was used to analyze the changes in ubiquitin modification of HIF-1α protein in response to UPK1A-AS1 overexpression. The effects of UPK1A-AS1 overexpression and RNA interference of HIF-1α expression on glucose consumption, lactate production and expressions of HRE activity and glycolysis-related genes (HK1, HK2 and PGK1) were examined in the HCC cells. OBJECTIVE Compared with the control group, overexpression of UPK1A-AS1 significantly promoted glucose consumption and lactate production in HCC cells under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions (P < 0.05). Overexpression of UPK1A-AS1 significantly increased the expression of glycolysis-related genes including HIF1A, GLUT1, HK1, HK2 and PGK1. Upregulation of UPK1A-AS1 obviously promoted the transcriptional activity of HRE (P < 0.05). Western blotting showed that UPK1A-AS1 overexpression obviously increased the stability of HIF-1α protein and significantly reduced ubiquitin modification of HIF-1α. Downregulation of HIF-1α obviously reversed the effect of UPK1A-AS1 overexpression in promoting glucose consumption, lactate production and HRE luciferase activity. Silencing HIF-1α also suppressed the upregulation of glycolysis-related gene expressions induced by UPK1A-AS1 overexpression (P < 0.05). OBJECTIVE The long noncoding RNA UPK1A-AS1 upregulates the expression of glycolysis-related genes by stabilizing the expression of HIF-1α, thereby promoting glycolysis level in HCC cells.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the antimicrobial resistance characteristics of 538 Neisseria meningitidis isolated from 2005 to 2019 in China. Method: Total of 538 Neisseria meningitidis strains collected from 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2019. Antimicrobial susceptibility test were performed based on the standards of clinical and laboratory standardization association (CLSI) including 11 recommended antibiotics. Gradient diffusion method was used to detect the antibiotic sensitivity of Neisseria meningitidis. Results: All 538 strains were sensitive to azithromycin, meropenem, chloramphenicol, rifampicin and ceftriaxone. As to other six antibiotics, the antibiotics sensitivity rates were cefotaxime (97.4%, 524 strains), ampicillin (87.7%, 472 strains), penicillin (84.8%, 456 strains), minocycline (95.2%, 512 strains), ciprofloxacin (24.9%, 134 strains) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (11.2%, 60 strains) respectively. Conclusions: Neisseria meningitidis isolated from 2005-2019 in China were all sensitive to azithromycin, meropenem, chloramphenicol, rifampicin and ceftriaxone. It should highlight Neisseria meningitidis resistant to cefotaxime, ampicillin and penicillin. Ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole are not recommended as the priority choice for clinical treatment and prophylactic medication.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic features, as well as the treatment outcomes of two boys with nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (NSIAD) caused by gain-of-function mutations in the V2 vasopressin receptor gene (AVPR2). Methods: The clinical manifestations, genetic testing, therapeutic interventions and the outcomes of two boys with NSIAD hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Children's Hospital in April 2019 were reported. A literature search with "Nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis" and "AVPR2 gene" as keywords was conducted at the China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), the Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, PubMed and Springer Link up to May 2020. Relevant published articles were reviewed. Results: The two cases presented with chronic and severe hyponatremia with hypo-osmolality, inappropriately elevated urinary osmolality and urinary sodium levels. The onset age was 5.25-years and 2 months respectively. AVPR2 sequencing revealed a previously described hemizygous activating mutation (c.409C>T, p.R137C) in both of boys, each inherited the variant from their mother. Patient 1 limited fluid intake by himself in his daily life, intravenous and oral sodium supplementations showed no significant increase of serum sodium level. Oral furosemide increased the serum sodium level and maintained it within normal range. The serum sodium and potassium levels were in the normal range during the 1-year follow-up period with oral furosemide. The serum sodium level of Patient 2 increased with restricting fluid intake and with salt supplementation. However, after he experienced respiratory infection, the plasma sodium level decreased. Subsequently, oral anti-infection medicine and furosemide were applied. The serum sodium level increased two days later and remained at a normal range afterwards. The boy was 1 year old with normal growth. He stopped taking furosemide after 4 months while taking 1 gram of salt per day, the blood sodium level maintained at normal range. Literature search identified no reports in Chinese journals, whereas 50 publications were found in English journals. A total of 30 NSIAD probands were reported and 16 of those (53%) had childhood onset, most presented with seizures. The majority had a hotspot change at the nucleotide position of 409 in AVPR2. Nine cases had an amino acid change as R137C and five cases as R137L. Fluid restriction and oral urea intake were main treatment options, no report so far was found with oral furosemide treatment. Conclusions: NSIAD presented with hyponatremia without any other specific presentations. Genetic testing for variants in AVPR2 is helpful for early diagnosis and timely treatment. The first two cases of oral furosemide treatment were reported by the article which helped to maintain a normal serum sodium level after limiting fluid intake and supplementing sodium which showed limited effect.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the clinical features and genetic characters of patients with chronic enteropathy associated SLCO2A1 gene (CEAS). Methods: Five CEAS patients diagnosed at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to December 2019 were enrolled in this study. The clinical manifestations, laboratory test, radiological and endoscopic findings, gene detections, treatments and prognosis of these patients were reviewed and analyzed. Results: Five male patients presented gastrointestinal symptoms after puberty, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, intermittent melena or hematochezia, incomplete bowel obstruction, anemia, hypoalbuminemia and hypokalemia. The whole gastrointestinal tract except esophagus could be involved, especially the stomach and ileum. Intestinal lesions were characterized by multiple shallow ulcers with stenosis in the layers of mucosa and submucosa. Five patients were all accompanied with primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO), and 1 with myelofibrosis and thoracic duct dysplasia. All patients were homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations of SLCO2A1 gene. Conventional treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and COX-2 inhibitors were ineffective. Conclusions: CEAS is an autosomal recessive genetic disease which widely involves the gastrointestinal tract, and can be associated with skin and bone involvement. There is no effective treatment for CEAS at present. CEAS is a different entity from other inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Dental caries is characterized by a dysbiotic shift at the biofilm-tooth surface interface, yet comprehensive biochemical characterizations of the biofilm are scant. We used metabolomics to identify biochemical features of the supragingival biofilm associated with early childhood caries (ECC) prevalence and severity. The study's analytical sample comprised 289 children ages 3 to 5 (51% with ECC) who attended public preschools in North Carolina and were enrolled in a community-based cross-sectional study of early childhood oral health. Clinical examinations were conducted by calibrated examiners in community locations using International Caries Detection and Classification System (ICDAS) criteria. Supragingival plaque collected from the facial/buccal surfaces of all primary teeth in the upper-left quadrant was analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Associations between individual metabolites and 18 clinical traits (based on different ECC definitions and sets of tooth surfaces) were quantified using Brownian distance correlations (dCor) and linear regression modeling of log2-transformed values, applying a false discovery rate multiple testing correction. A tree-based pipeline optimization tool (TPOT)-machine learning process was used to identify the best-fitting ECC classification metabolite model. There were 503 named metabolites identified, including microbial, host, and exogenous biochemicals. Most significant ECC-metabolite associations were positive (i.e., upregulations/enrichments). The localized ECC case definition (ICDAS ≥1 caries experience within the surfaces from which plaque was collected) had the strongest correlation with the metabolome (dCor P = 8 × 10-3). Sixteen metabolites were significantly associated with ECC after multiple testing correction, including fucose (P = 3.0 × 10-6) and N-acetylneuraminate (p = 6.8 × 10-6) with higher ECC prevalence, as well as catechin (P = 4.7 × 10-6) and epicatechin (P = 2.9 × 10-6) with lower. Catechin, epicatechin, imidazole propionate, fucose, 9,10-DiHOME, and N-acetylneuraminate were among the top 15 metabolites in terms of ECC classification importance in the automated TPOT model. These supragingival biofilm metabolite findings provide novel insights in ECC biology and can serve as the basis for the development of measures of disease activity or risk assessment.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the contagiousness and secondary attack rate of 2019 novel coronavirus in cluster epidemics in Guangzhou and provide evidence for the prevention and control of COVID-19. Methods: All the individuals identified to be infected with 2019-nCoV in Guangzhou, including confirmed cases and asymptomatic cases, were included and classified as imported cases and local cases. The first case of each cluster epidemic was defined as index case, and the number of subsequent infections was calculated to evaluate the contagiousness and secondary attack rate of 2019 novel coronavirus in the shortest incubation period of 1-3 days. Results: As of 18 February, 2020, a total of 349 cases of 2019-nCoV infection, including 339 confirmed cases (97.13%) and 10 asymptomatic cases (2.87%) were reported in Guangzhou. There were 68 clusters involving 217 2019-nCoV infection cases (210 confirmed cases and 7 asymptomatic cases). The median number of subsequent infections caused by an index case in a cluster epidemic was 3, among which 2 were confirmed cases and 1 was asymptomatic cases, respectively. The average number of contagiousness was 2.18 in shorted incubation period of 1-3 days (The average number of infected cases were 2.18 cases by the index case in a cluster epidemic), the average infection number in family members was 1.86, and the infection ratio of family member transmission was 85.32% (1.86/2.18). The secondary attack rate in close contacts with shortest incubation period of 1-3 days was 17.12%-18.99%, the secondary attack rate in family members was 46.11%-49.56%. Conclusions: The cluster epidemic of COVID-19 in Guangzhou mainly occurred in families, the contagiousness was high. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control to reduce the community transmission of COVID-19.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expressions of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1, LC3B and p62 in breast cancer tissues and their clinicopathological significance, and to study alterations of their expression in breast cancer cells under hypoxic microenvironment. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1, LC3B and p62 protein expressions in 125 breast cancer tissues and 50 para-cancer normal breast tissues, and their correlation with clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed. The expression of these proteins were also measured after 24 hours of hypoxia stimulation was detected in different breast cancer cell lines and normal breast epithelial cells. Results: The expression of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B proteins in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than in para-cancer normal breast tissues (P<0.05). There was a positive association between histologic grade, the expression of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B (P<0.05). High expressions of HIF-1a and Beclin1 were often correlated with lymph node metastasis and lymphatic invasion (P<0.05). Increased HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B expression was associated with ER or PR negativity, but only HIF-1α was associated with HER2 positivity (P<0.05). HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1, and LC3B were positively correlated with each other in breast cancer tissues (P<0.01). After 24 hours of hypoxic stimulation, the expression of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B was up-regulated in breast cancer cells. Conclusions: Hypoxia induces autophagy in breast cancer tissues. HIF-1α is positively correlated with BRD4, suggesting that BRD4 is involved in the regulation of autophagy by hypoxic microenvironment in breast cancer. High expression of HIF-1α, BRD4 and autophagy may play an important role in the development of breast cancer.

Abstract
AIM To accelerate the acquisition of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by using the three-dimensional (3D) matrix sequence with compressed sensing and to compare it with conventional two-dimensional (2D) proton-density (PD) and fast spin-echo (FSE) sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3D matrix, 2D FSE, and PD sequences were acquired from 68 participants using 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Two radiologists scored image quality independently on a four-point scale. The structural similarity index (SSIM), and signal- (SNRs) and contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) of different anatomical structures of the knee were assessed and compared between sequences using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and Cohen's kappa. RESULTS The median acquisition time reduction was 44.5%. There was a substantial to perfect agreement for the rating between the 3D matrix FSE and 2D FSE or PD sequences when evaluating cartilage, subchondral bone, and ligaments (κ=0.783-872, p>0.05). The mean SSIM values between the 3D matrix FSE and 2D FSE, and between the 3D matrix PD and 2D PD sequences was 0.994 and 0.971, respectively, which are acceptable. No significant differences were found in SNR between the 3D matrix FSE and 2D FSE, and between the 3D matrix PD and 2D PD sequences, even though the SNR appeared to be higher on routine 2D sequences. The CNR of subchondral bone-meniscus, subchondral bone-joint fluid, and meniscus-joint fluid did not differentiate significantly between the 3D matrix sequence and routine 2D sequences. CONCLUSIONS 3D matrix reduced the acquisition time in routine clinical knee MRI without the loss in image quality, SNR, and CNR.
