Abstract
Lymphangioma is a rare, benign mesenchymal neoplasm, which is characterized by numerous intercommunicating cystic spaces containing lymphatic fluid. It is considered a congenital disease resulting from the obstruction of regional lymph drainage during the developmental period. Lymphangioma frequently occurs in the cervical neck and axilla, also in the retroperitoneum, mediastinum, mesentery, omentum, colon, and pelvis, rarely in the perirenal space. These tumors usually present in childhood, but infrequently, these also present in adults. Patients often complain of hematuria, flank pain, or abdominal pain. Complications of lymphangioma have been reported to include infection, ruputure, or hemorrhage. There are three types of lymphangioma commonly identified: capillary, cavernous, and cystic. Cystic type is the one commonly found intra-abdominally or retroperitoneally, and may be uniloculated or multiloculated. All these perirenal tumors have a very low incidence, make it difficult to diagnose. Differential diagnosis must be performed with the primary renal lymphoma, urinoma, polycystic kidney, teratoma, both benign and malignant tumors, etc. Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration is recommended in some literatures, which may help make diagnosis and further guide subsequent therapeutic strategy. Regarding treatment, surgical excision can be performed via either laparotomy or laparoscopy. And injection of sclerosants into lympahgioma has been described in the literature in nonsurgical candidates. The optimal definitive treatment is total surgical excision. Despite being rare, the tumor has an excellent prognosis. Here, we report a case of a 48-year-old woman with a left renal mass found in an abdominal ultrasonography during a health checkup. In the case presented, abdominal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance urography (MRU) revealed an approximately 11.3 cm×10.6 cm×12.8 cm multilocular cystic mass in the left perirenal space. There was no history of bowel or bladder complaint, either previous illness episodes. Full blood count and kidney function tests were within normal limits. Laparoscopic surgical removal of the cyst was accomplished without incident. A benign cystic perirenal lymphangioma was diagnosed on histology and confirmed with immunohistochemical stains. One month after the surgery the ureteral stent was removed. The patient was free of disease after a 3-month follow-up period. We report the case and discuss the management of perirenal lymphangiomatosis with a literature review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the efficiency of ureteroscope and biopsy in the diagnosis of tumor grade, muscle-invasiveness and multifocality in suspected upper tract urinary carcinoma (UTUC) patients in order to find out whether it can be used in the risk stratification of UTUC patients. METHODS A retrospective study of 76 UTUC patients who underwent preoperative ureteroscope and/or biopsy and received radical nephroureterectomy in Peking University Third Hospital during January 2014 to December 2016 was undertaken. RESULTS In this study, 76 patients were included. There were 31 males (40.8%), and 45 females (59.2%). The median age was 64.5 years (31-88), and 51 patients had the symptom of hematuresis. The tumor was located in renal pelvis in 39 patients, and in ureter in 37 patients. Post-operative pathology confirmed that all the 76 patients included in this study suffered from UTUC, of whom 21 (21.6%) were of low-grade, 51 (67.1%) were of high-grade, 4 (5.3%) were undetermined, and 47 (61.9%) patients were muscle-invasive, and 27 (35.5%) were not, and 2 (2.6%) were undetermined. Among the 50 patients, in whom the grade of the tumor could be diagnosed by biopsy, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for low-grade tumor was 88.2%, 69.7%, 76.0%, 60.0% and 92.0%, respectively. Among the 27 patients, in whom the muscle-invasiveness could be diagnosed by biopsy, 5 patients were diagnosed with muscle-invasiveness, all confirmed by pathology after surgery and 22 patients were diagnosed with none muscle-invasiveness, turned out to be 50% muscle-invasive and 50% none-muscle invasive after surgery. The accuracy was 59.3%. The accuracy of ureteroscopic biopsy to diagnosis multifocality was 61.0%. On univariate analysis, biopsy grade was associated with postoperative pathology (P=0.001), while gender, age, side, body mass index (BMI), hematuresis, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hydronephrosis, tumor size, location, multifocality and sessile were not associated with postoperative pathology grade. Biopsy grade (P=0.02), preoperative eGFR<90 mL/(min×1.73 m2)(P=0.025) and tumor located in pelvis (P=0.049) were associated with muscle invasiveness. Gender, age, side, BMI, hematuresis, hydronephrosis, tumor size, multifocality and sessile were not significantly associated with muscle invasiveness. CONCLUSION Ureteroscope and biopsy can assist risk stratification in upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An unexpected, large dengue outbreak, spreading to 20 cities of Guangdong province, occurred in July 2014. Considering the overwhelming influence of this seasonal epidemic, whether this dengue virus outbreak has an significant impact on the blood donors of the ajacent areas in Guangdong requires at least a preliminary investigation. Liuzhou City of Guangxi was chosen as a good representative of the neighbouring geographical location of the dengue virus (DENV) outbreak areas in this research. We therefore investigated qualified blood donations during potential dengue epidemic seasons and thus provided critical information for public health and donation policy making. METHOD A total of 1685 donations from 2013 to 2014 were collected at the Guangxi blood centre. Anti-DENV testing was performed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Dengue IgG indirect ELISA and Dengue IgM capture ELISA were used to detect anti-DENV IgM and IgG. Repeat-reactive samples with ELISA test and 1685 donations with 421 pools were screened for dengue RNA by reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) using an in-house assay. RESULTS There was a total of 13 seropositive donors, including 6 IgM seropositive and 7 IgG seropositive. The total seropositive rate was 0·78%, with IgM 0·36% and IgG 0·42%. Seropositive donors were identified mostly between April and November, with a peak in November. .All samples in reactive pools and individual seropositive samples were negative in the follow-up RT-PCR test. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that the Guangdong dengue outbreak had limited impact on blood safety in surrounding areas under our current testing system.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the changes of speech and voice acoustics in patients with thyroid disease before and after operation, get objective values, and conducive to guiding the clinical diagnosis and treatment and recurrent laryngeal nerve protection. Method:A total of 216 patients undergoing thyroid surgery from October 2015 to October 2016 were treated with TVQ and GRBAS at 1 day before surgery, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively to phonological assessment, and Praat software was used to collect and analyze the acoustic acoustics index for preoperative and postoperative comparative analysis. Result:All patients did not damage the recurrent laryngeal nerve, unilateral or bilateral thyroid subtotal resection (no exploration of recurrent laryngeal nerve) in patients with postoperative speech and voice index F0 was decreased at 1 week after surgery (P<0.05), the other indicators did not change significantly; difference was found out in single-sided total thyroidectomy+ipsilateral central area lymph node dissection, bilateral thyroidectomy+unilateral central area lymph node dissection (exploration of unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve) in patients with TVQ, GRBAS and F0, HNR after surgery 1 week compared with preoperative (P<0.05), However, there was no significant difference 3 months; TVQ, GRBAS and F0, HNR were significantly changed in patients with bilateral thyroidectomy+bilateral central lymph node dissection (revealed bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve) at 1 week after operation (P>0.05). F0 and HNR were lower than those before operation, and the patients were treated with Jitter and Shimmer. The patients were treated with TVQ, GRBAS, Jitter and Shimmer before operation, however, the majority of patients' TVQ, GRBAS, Jitter, Shimmer can be restored to preoperative level after surgery 3 months (P>0.05). Conclusion:The appearance of speech and voice problems in patients after thyroid surgery may increase with the expansion of the surgical range, the change in speech and voice after neck lymph node dissection is reversible.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Magnesium has a key role in osteoporosis and could enhance implant osseointegration in osteoporotic patients. Titanium implants impregnated with Mg ions were installed in the tibia of ovariectomized rats. The release of Mg induced a significant increase of bone formation and the expression of anabolic markers in the peri-implant bone. INTRODUCTION The success of endosseous implants is highly predictable in patients possessing normal bone status, but it may be impaired in patients with osteoporosis. Thus, the application of strategies that adjuvate implant healing in compromized sites is of great interest. Magnesium has a key role in osteoporosis prevention and it is an interesting candidate for this purpose. In this study, the cellular and molecular effects of magnesium release from implants were investigated at the early healing stages of implant integration. METHODS Osteoporosis was induced in 24 female rats by means of ovariectomy and low-calcium diet. Titanium mini-screws were coated with mesoporous titania films and were loaded with magnesium (test group) or left as native (control group). The implants were inserted in the tibia and femur of the rats. One, 2 and 7 days after implantation, the implants were retrieved and histologically examined. In addition, expression of genes was evaluated in the peri-implant bone tissue at day 7 by means of quantitative polymerase chain reactions with pathway-oriented arrays. RESULTS The histological evaluation revealed that new bone formation started already during the first week of healing for both groups. However, around the test implants, new bone was significantly more abundant and spread along a larger surface of the implants. In addition, the release of magnesium induced a significantly higher expression of BMP6. CONCLUSIONS These results provide evidence that the release of magnesium promoted rapid bone formation and the activation of osteogenic signals in the vicinity of implants placed in osteoporotic bone.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a system used to model the design of biomaterial matrices for tissue regeneration. Various biomaterial systems have been developed to mimic the composition or microstructure of the ECM. However, emulating multiple facets of the ECM in these systems remains a challenge. Here, a new strategy is reported which addresses this need by using silk fibroin and chitosan (CS) nanocomposite materials. Silk fibroin was first assembled into ECM-mimetic nanofibers in water and then blended with CS to introduce the nanostructural cues. Then the ratios of silk fibroin and CS were optimized to imitate the protein and glycosaminoglycan compositions. These biomaterial scaffolds had suitable compositions, hierarchical nano-to-micro structures, and appropriate mechanical properties to promote cell proliferation in vitro, and vascularization and tissue regeneration in vivo. Compared to previous silk-based scaffolds, these scaffolds achieved improvements in biocompatibility, suggesting promising applications in the future in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and volume status of patients after cardiac surgery. Methods: A total of consecutive 56 patients who were treated in Critical Care Unit in Peking Union Medical College Hospital after open heart surgery from January to August 2015 were screened in this study. Central venous pressure (CVP) and 72 h net fluid balance were monitored. ONSD and diameter of inferior vena cava (IVC) were measured by ultrasound. Results: A total of 44 patients were finally included in the study. The postoperative baseline ONSD was (5.31±1.96)mm, compared to (5.07±1.77)mm after 72 h treatment, with ΔONSD(0.22±0.21)mm. Baseline and post-treatment at 72 h CVP were (11.98±4.09)mmHg and (8.95±4.02)mmHg respectively. IVC dropped from (19.75±4.12)mm to (17.11±4.68)mm. ΔONSD and ΔCVP were significantly correlated (r=0.422, P<0.05), ΔONSD and net fluid balance (NFB) at 72 h were significantly correlated (r=-0.388, P<0.05). While ΔONSD were significantly correlated with ΔIVC (r=0.423, P<0.05), ΔCVP and ΔIVC were also significantly correlated (r=0.391, P<0.05). Conclusion: The change of ONSD in patients after cardiac surgery is related to the change of volume status. Therefore ONSD is helpful to estimate brain edema, not only could be a potential index to evaluate volume status, but also be used to guide improving prognosis after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the most important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Genetic variants influencing hypertension can also be risk factors for ischemic stroke. Here, we examined the how single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with blood pressure impact the risk for ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS We selected 300 ischemic stroke patients and 300 controls. Then, we genotyped three single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with systolic hypertension in both groups. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis showed that the rs11099098 genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of IS (Dominant model: OR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.37-0.82, p = 0.003). Two other SNPs, rs880315 and rs11072518, showed a trend towards association with stroke risk, but did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that genetic variants in systolic pressure-related genotypes may contribute to the etiology of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Rodents act as an indicator for evaluation of environment contaminations and public health risks caused by parasites. A survey of parasites in wild rodents was conducted in 14 villages in Xijin County, where alveolar echinococcosis by Echinococcus multilocularis is epidemic. In total, 72 rodents including 25 mice, 16 Citellus dauricus (Daurian ground squirrel), 12 squirrels and 19 mole rat (Myospalax fontanieri) were captured. Infections (2.8%) of Taenia taeniaeformis, which is transmitted mainly between mice and cats, were found in mice in Wangping (WP) and Miaoping (MP) villages, but other cestodes' infections were not observed. WP and MP isolates were principally similar in morphology but, unlike WP isolate, MP isolate had no hooks on the scolex. Using 18S rRNA as a biomarker, the phylogenetic analysis showed that WP and MP isolates grouped together with European and Asian isolates and formed a separate cluster. These results highlights the prevalence of T. taeniaeformis in cats or/and dogs and a risk of opportunistic infections in human populations.

Abstract
Tricyclic indolines are common in both natural products and synthetic chemical probes. In this study we demonstrated that enantiomerically pure tricyclic indolines can be prepared from an inexpensive commercially available chiral starting material, pyroglutamic acid. The synthesis features a highly diastereoselective gold-catalyzed cyclization of alkyne-tethered indoles and subsequent diastereoselective reductive ring-opening reaction. Using this approach, we synthesized analogs of our previously discovered tricyclic indoline probes that possess antibacterial and resistance-modifying activity. The biological activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) of these analogues was evaluated and reported. The synthetic approach reported may be leveraged in the future to prepare diastereopure chemical probes for the determination of biological targets for drug discovery.

Abstract
Research indicates that after EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), patient immune function significantly improved, and that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) measurements and peripheral blood epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation data can guide TKIs treatment. Sixty-six advanced NSCLC patients treated with TKIs were enrolled and CTCs, EGFR expression, T cell subsets and natural killer (NK) cells in peripheral blood were measured using flow cytometry before and after treatment and assessed with respect to patient prognosis. CTCs and EGFR expression were negatively correlated with cellular immune function and immune recovery after EGFR-TKI treatment. Thus, CD4+/ CD8+ ratios and NK cells may be useful prognostic indicators for advanced NSCLC patients who receive TKIs treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used for regenerative medicine. Traditionally, the procedures of MSC isolation are usually invasive and time-consuming. Urine is merely a body waste, and recent studies have suggested that urine represents an alternative source of stem cells. We, therefore, determined whether the possibility of isolating mesenchymal-like stem cells was practical from human urine. METHODS A total of 16 urine samples were collected from pediatric patients. Urine-derived cells were isolated, expanded, and identified for specific cell surface markers using flow cytometry. Cell morphology was observed by microscopy. Osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential were determinded by culturing cells in specific induction medium, and assessed by alkaline phosphatase and oil red O stainings, respectively. RESULTS Clones were established and passaged successfully from primary cultures of urine cells. Cultured urine-derived cells at passage 3 were fusiform and arranged with certain directionality. Urine-derived cells at passage 5 displayed expressions of cell surface markers (CD29, CD105, CD166, CD90, and CD13). There was no expression of the general hematopoietic cell markers (CD45, CD34, and HLA-DR). Under in vitro induction conditions, urine-derived cells at passage 5 were able to differentiate into osteoblasts, but not adipocytes. CONCLUSIONS Urine may be a noninvasive source for mesenchymal-like stem cells. These cells could potentially provide a new source of autologous stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental and industrial pollutant that induces a broad spectrum of toxicological effects, influences a variety of human organs, and is associated with poor semen quality and male infertility. Increasing evidence demonstrates that Cd induces testicular germ cell apoptosis in rodent animals. However, the specific effect of Cd exposure on autophagy in germ cells is poorly understood. METHODS We investigate the role of high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), a ubiquitous nuclear protein, on Cd-evoked autophagy in a mouse spermatocyte cell line (GC-2spd). RESULTS Our data have shown that autophagy was significantly elevated in GC-2spd cells exposed to Cd. Furthermore, there was a reduction in rapamycin (RAP)-mediated apoptosis. In addition, Cd exposure reduced cell viability, which is an effect that could be significantly inhibited by RAP treatment. These results indicate that autophagy appears to serve a positive function in reducing Cd-induced cytotoxicity. In addition, HMGB1 increased coincident with the processing of LC3-I to LC3-II. Thus, the upregulation of HMGB1 increases LC3-II levels. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that HMGB1-induced autophagy appears to act as a defense/survival mechanism against Cd cytotoxicity in GC-2spd cells.

Abstract
The cardiac autonomic nervous system has been known to play an important role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Autonomic modulation by electrical stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which increases the parasympathetic activity and suppresses the sympathetic activity, is emerging as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Here, we review the recent literature on autonomic modulation by electrical stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, including vagus nerve stimulation, transcutaneous auricular vagal stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, and ganglionated plexi stimulation, in the treatment of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular arrhythmias.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether inhibiting cardiac carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1b (CPT-1b) improves obesity-related cardiomyopathy. METHODS Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed with high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks to induce obesity. At 6 weeks of age, mice were subjected to intramyocardial injection with lentivirus to down-regulate the expression of either cardiac CPT-1b or green fluorescent protein. Morphological, biochemical, functional, histological, and ultrastructural profiles were assessed at 16 weeks of age. RESULTS HFD administration elicited obesity, cardiac hypertrophy, and systolic dysfunction accompanied with altered biochemical parameters. In addition, HFD consumption promoted lipid accumulation and reactive oxygen species generation in cardiomyocytes and damaged myocardial ultrastructure. Cardiac CPT-1b silencing protected against HFD-induced cardiac remodeling by decreasing heart weight/tibial length ratio and increasing left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening, as well as normalizing left ventricular diameter. Meanwhile, CPT-1b inhibition mitigated the changes in biochemical parameters, aggravated myocardial lipid accumulation, reduced intramyocardial reactive oxygen species production, and partly amended myocardial ultrastructural alterations in obese mice. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac CPT-1b suppression protects against the aggravation of cardiac morphology and function associated with HFD feeding. CPT-1b represents a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cardiac dysfunction related to metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
We report a Tm-doped soliton fiber laser passively mode-locked by intense optoacoustic interactions in a short length of solid-core silica photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with a nanobore in core-center. A repetition rate of 1.446 GHz pulse is achieved, corresponding to the 52nd harmonic of the 27.8 MHz cavity round-trip frequency. Strong optoacoustic interactions in this PCF-based, Tm-doped fiber laser ensure stable and repeatable gigahertz-rate pulse train generation at 1.85 μm wavelength, with a high supermode noise suppression ratio and low pulse timing jitter.

Abstract
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), hitherto called primary biliary cirrhosis, is a cholestatic liver disease of unclear aetiology with autoimmune features. Accumulating evidence revealed that γδ T cells were involved in the development of autoimmune diseases. As one of γδ T cells subsets, however, the role of Vδ1 T cells in the immunopathogenesis of PBC is poorly understood. We analysed peripheral blood Vδ1 T cells in PBC patients in active stage (ASP, n = 18), adequate responders (AR, n = 10) and inadequate responders (IAR, n = 4) to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and an age-matched healthy control group (n = 16) by flow cytometric analysis. The ASP group exhibited a significantly higher proportion and absolute number of Vδ1 T cells, which were also observed in immunofluorescence staining of liver biopsy specimens of PBC patients. Moreover, these Vδ1 T cells expressed a series of activation markers and intracellular cytokines, which may contribute to the immunopathogenesis of PBC. Our study will help to clarify the role of Vδ1 T cells in the development of PBC.

Abstract
Fuelled by the advancement in multimedia technologies, users across the world have witnessed the proliferation of online videos. Compared with the visual content of these videos, the textual content, for example, titles, tags, or descriptions, has been more broadly exploited in the real-world video data mining or information retrieval tasks. To enhance the understanding of videos, and improve the performance of the tasks such as automatic video annotation, video clustering, and cross-modal tag cleansing, the textual and visual content of videos are combined, through various methods. However, the absence of an empirical study on the properties of these contents makes them less solid to gain satisfactory performance. Therefore, in this paper, we conduct this study to verify the properties of textual content and draw insights from these analyses to promote further developments in video data mining that combine the two contents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the validity, reliability, and acceptability of the scale of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of lifestyle intervention in a diabetes high-risk population (HILKAB), and provide scientific evidence for its usage. METHODS By convenient sampling, we selected 406 individuals at high risk for diabetes for survey using the HILKAB. Pearson correlation coefficient, factor analysis, independent sampling, and t-test for high- and low-score groups were used to evaluate the content validity, construct validity, and discriminant validity of the scale. Reliability of the scale was evaluated by internal consistency, which included Cronbach's α coefficient, θ coefficient, Ω coefficient, and split-half reliability. Scale acceptability was evaluated by acceptance rate and completion time of the survey. RESULTS In this study, 366 questionnaires (90.1%) was qnalified and the completion time was (8.62±2.79) minutes. Scores for knowledge, attitude, and behavior were 10.60±3.73, 26.56±3.58, 17.09±9.74, respectively. The scale had good face validity and content validity. The correlation coefficient of items and the dimension to which they belong was between 0.25 and 0.97, and the correlation coefficient of three dimensions and the entire scale was between 0.64 and 0.91, all with P<0.001. Factor analysis of the scale extracted eight common factors. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 65.23%, thereby reaching the 50% approved standard. Of 30 items there were 29 items with factor loadings ≥0.40, indicating the scale had good construct validity. For the high-score group, scores for knowledge, attitude, and behavior dimensions were 13.89±2.55, 29.56± 2.46, 28.05 ± 2.93, respectively, which were higher than those for the low-score group (7.67 ± 2.78, 23.89 ± 3.35, 6.25 ± 3.13); t-values were 55.14, 119.40, 95.29, respectively, with P<0.001. The scale consisted of three dimensions: knowledge, attitude, and behavior. The Cronbach's α coefficient was between 0.84 and 0.92, the θ coefficient was between 0.85 and 0.96, the Ω coefficient was between 0.90 and 0.94, and the split-half reliability was between 0.77 and 0.95, reaching the 0.70 standard letter. CONCLUSION The validity, reliability, and acceptability of the HILKAB scale were satisfactory for use in a population at high risk of diabetes.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are linear, highly negatively charged polysaccharides that may perform an important role in biomineralization. GAG were isolated from chicken eggshell membranes and calcified shells. Disaccharide compositional analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. All 4 groups of GAG - hyaluronan (HA), keratan sulfate (KS), chondroitin sulfate (CS), and heparan sulfate (HS) - were detected in shell membranes and in calcified shells. HA was the most plentiful GAG in shell membranes, and CS was the most abundant in calcified shells. The CS present, in both membranes and calcified shells, consisted primarily of 6SCS-C, 4SCS-A, and 0SCS-0 disaccharides. Neither 4S6SCS-E nor 2SCS was detectable in shell components. Small amounts of 2S4SCS-B were detected in membranes and TriSCS, and 2S4SCS-B and 2S6SCS-D were detected in calcified shells. HS in calcified shells contained all disaccharides except for 2S6S. In shell membranes, HS contained primarily NS and 0S as well as small amounts of TriS, NS2S, NS6SHS, and 6S, but neither 2S6S nor 2S was detectable. The disaccharide composition of membrane CS, as well as membrane and calcified shell HS, were very similar in all eggshells. In contrast, the composition of calcified shell CS disaccharides was highly variable. In membranes, both HA and KS content showed a correlation with egg shape index. The 4SCS-A content correlated with eggshell strength, and 0SCS-0 correlated with eggshell strength and calcified shell thickness. HS content and its disaccharide composition showed no apparent correlation to properties of calcified shells. In calcified shells, only HS 6S correlated with egg shape index. This study suggests that GAG content and disaccharide composition of shell membranes might impact the quality of chicken eggshells.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with aggressive behaviour and poor prognosis, but has limited treatment options. To explore novel and effective therapies against TNBC, we retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy through the superior epigastric artery in the treatment of locally advanced TNBC. Fifty-one locally advanced TNBC patients who received this neoadjuvant therapy from Mar 2001 to Mar 2012 were included in this study. The superior epigastric artery was selected for cannulation to deliver chemotherapy drugs. The regimen for intra-arterial chemoinfusion consisted of 75 mg/m2 epirubicin and 75 mg/m2 docetaxel. Clinical and pathological tumor responses, disease free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity profiles were recorded and retrospectively analyzed. In 51 patients treated with neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemoinfusion through the superior epigastric artery, the overall response rate (ORR) was 84.3%; 16 patients achieved pathological complete response (pCR). Following surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy, 5-year DFS and OS were 72.4% and 75.9%, respectively, in the study population. In addition, this neoadjuvant approach showed favorable toxicity profiles. Moreover, patients who achieved pCR showed a superior survival outcome compared with those who did not. Cox regression analysis indicated that Ki-67 expression is an independent predictor for DFS and OS. Our results suggest that intra-arterial chemotherapy through the superior epigastric artery has great therapeutic potential for the treatment of locally advanced TNBC. This approach merits further clinical evaluation and may become a novel therapeutic option for locally advanced TNBC.

Abstract
Fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) is an immunomodulatory protein that is expressed by regulatory T cells (Tregs). The objective of this study was to determine if recombinant FGL2 (rFGL2) treatment or constitutive FGL2 overexpression could promote transplant tolerance in mice. Although rFGL2 treatment prevented rejection of fully mismatched cardiac allografts, all grafts were rejected after stopping treatment. Next, we generated FGL2 transgenic mice (fgl2(Tg) ) that ubiquitously overexpressed FGL2. These mice developed normally and had no evidence of the autoimmune glomerulonephritis seen in fgl2(-/-) mice. Immune characterization showed fgl2(Tg) T cells were hypoproliferative to stimulation with alloantigens or anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 stimulation, and fgl2(Tg) Tregs had increased immunosuppressive activity compared with fgl2(+/+) Tregs. To determine if FGL2 overexpression can promote tolerance, we transplanted fully mismatched cardiac allografts into fgl2(Tg) recipients. Fifty percent of cardiac grafts were accepted indefinitely in fgl2(Tg) recipients without any immunosuppression. Tolerant fgl2(Tg) grafts had increased numbers and proportions of Tregs and tolerant fgl2(Tg) mice had reduced proliferation to donor but not third party antigens. These data show that tolerance in fgl2(Tg) recipients involves changes in Treg and T cell activity that contribute to a higher intragraft Treg-to-T cell ratio and acceptance of fully mismatched allografts.

Abstract
Background and purpose Lacunar infarct (LI) is well known as a heterogeneous primary disorder of cerebral small vessel. Compelling results have demonstrated that age is a risk factor to the prevalence of LI. However, the relationship between age and the prevalence of LI remains obscure. It is essential to note the relationship between age and the prevalence of LI through more clinical data. Methods A total of 3,500 patients were included in the case-controlled study. All data were collected from the Examination Center of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Lu’an People’s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2015. A primary discharge diagnosis of LI was done, and all subjects were evaluated as retrospective data. The relationship between the risk factors and the prevalence of diabetes and the relationship between age and the prevalence of diabetes was analyzed. A chi-square test was used to analyze the associations between different variables. A one-way analysis of variance was used to test the equality of three or more means at one time by using variances. Statistical significance was defined as a P-value of <0.05. Results The one-way analysis of variance demonstrated that the prevalence of LI increased with age before 60 years and decreased with age after 69 years. The same results were found in both the male and the female subjects. These results showed that the age-related risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, cerebral infarct, cardiovascular diseases, smoking, and drinking) have no relationship with the prevalence of LI on the basis of age. There is a significant difference among the different age ranges (P=0.0006). Two-tailed P-value (unpaired t-test) showed the mean significant difference between 30–39 years and 40–49 years (P=0.009) and between 70–79 years and 80–100 years (P=0.0196). F-test (to compare variances) demonstrated that the variances of the different age ranges are significantly different between 30–39 years and 40–49 years (P=0.0002), between 40–49 years and 50–59 years (P=0.0424), and between 70–79 years and 80–100 years (P=0.0003). Conclusion The age-related risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, cerebral infarct, cardiovascular diseases, smoking, and drinking) have no relationship with the prevalence of LI on the basis of age. A decreasing prevalence of LI with aging occurs in the elderly, while the prevalence of LI increases with aging in the young and in adults. This investigation implicates that age is not a risk factor for LI in the elderly.

Abstract
The Brownian motion of molecules at thermal equilibrium usually has a finite correlation time and will eventually be randomized after a long delay time, so that their displacement follows the Gaussian statistics. This is true even when the molecules have experienced a complex environment with a finite correlation time. Here, we report that the lateral motion of the acetylcholine receptors on live muscle cell membranes does not follow the Gaussian statistics for normal Brownian diffusion. From a careful analysis of a large volume of the protein trajectories obtained over a wide range of sampling rates and long durations, we find that the normalized histogram of the protein displacements shows an exponential tail, which is robust and universal for cells under different conditions. The experiment indicates that the observed non-Gaussian statistics and dynamic heterogeneity are inherently linked to the slow-active remodelling of the underlying cortical actin network.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to compare the effects of the anti-human T lymphocyte globulin (Fresenius, ATG-F)and rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin (Genzyme, R-ATG)in the treatment of childhood aplastic anemia (AA) and their effects. METHOD A total of 59 children with aplastic anemia were analyzed in the present study, including 34 cases of severe aplastic anemia (SAA), 12 cases of very severe aplastic anemia (VSAA) and 13 cases of transfusion-dependent non-severe aplastic anemia (NSAA). While receiving immunosuppressive therapy (IST), 30 and 29 patients, with long-term oral supplement with cyclosporin A (CSA), androgen and Chinese traditional medicines, were treated with ATG-F and R-ATG, respectively. When it was necessary, some supportive cares such as component transfusion and infection control were also employed. Absolute counts of peripheral blood lymphocyte (ALC) at various time points were dynamically detected after ATG therapy. RESULT According to the International Aplastic Anemia Treatment and Effect standards. There were no statistically significant differences in the overall response rate (67%(20/30)vs. 69%(20/29), χ(2)=0.036, P=0.676) and the survival rate (87%(26/30)vs. 83%(24/29), χ(2)=0.173, P=0.676) between the ATG-F and R-ATG groups. There were significant and long-term ALC decrease after ATG therapy, the rate of ALC decrease in ATG-F and R-ATG group, the ALC only recovered to 47.8% (ATG-F group) and 47.4% (R-ATG group) of the pre-treatment level respectively. CONCLUSION ATG-F 5 mg/(kg·d) and R-ATG 3.75 mg/(kg·d)could achieve similar effects in the treatment of childhood AA, through similar significant clearance of T cells. Therefore, all of these suggest that ATG-F and R-ATG might serve as the drugs of front-line choice for IST in childhood AA patients who do not have an available human leukocyte antigen identical related donor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Micro-algae could inhibit the complete rumen BH of dietary 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acid (UFAs). This study aimed to examine dose and time responses of algae supplementation on rumen fermentation, biohydrogenation and Butyrivibrio group bacteria in goats. METHODS Six goats were used in a repeated 3 × 3 Latin square design, and offered a fixed diet. Algae were infused through rumen cannule with 0 (Control), 6.1 (L-Alg), or 18.3 g (H-Alg) per day. Rumen contents were sampled on d 0, 3, 7, 14 and 20. RESULTS H-Alg reduced total volatile fatty acid concentration and acetate molar proportion (P < 0.05), and increased propionate molar proportion (P < 0.05), whereas L-Alg had no effect on rumen fermentation. Changes in proportions of acetate and propionate in H-Alg were obvious from d 7 onwards and reached the largest differences with the control on d 14. Algae induced a dose-dependent decrease in 18:0 and increased trans-18:1 in the ruminal content (P < 0.05). H-Alg increased the concentrations of t9, t11-18:2 and t11, c15-18:2 (P < 0.05). L-Alg only seemed to induce a transient change in 18-carbon isomers, while H-Alg induced a rapid elevation, already obvious on d 3, concentrations of these fatty acid rose in some cases again on d 20. Algae had no effect on the abundances of Butyrivibrio spp. and Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus (P > 0.10), while H-Alg reduced the total bacteria abundance (P < 0.05). However, this was induced by a significant difference between control and H-Alg on d 14 (-4.43 %). Afterwards, both treatments did not differ as increased variation in the H-Alg repetitions, with in some cases a return of the bacterial abundance to the basal level (d 0). CONCLUSIONS Changes in rumen fermentation and 18-carbon UFAs metabolism in response to algae were related to the supplementation level, but there was no evidence of shift in ruminal biohydrogenation pathways towards t10-18:1. L-Alg mainly induced a transient effect on rumen biohydrogenation of 18-carbon UFAs, while H-Alg showed an acute inhibition and these effects were not associated with the known hydrogenating bacteria.

Abstract
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is considered to play a crucial role in vertebrate development and carcinogenesis. Additionally, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular process during which epithelial cells become mesenchymal-appearing cells, facilitating cancer metastasis and invasion. Accumulating evidence has indicated that the Hh signaling pathway could potentiate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In the present study, we demonstrated that tetrandrine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Stephaniae, exerts its anti-metastatic ability in bladder cancer cells by regulating GLI family zinc finger 1 (Gli-1), a key factor of Hedgehog signaling pathway. In our study, we confirmed that tetrandrine could impede migration and invasion in bladder cancer 5637 and T24 cells. Additionally, tetrandrine reverses EMT by increasing the expression of E-cadherin and reducing the N-cadherin, vimentin and Slug expression in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, tetrandrine also decreases mobility and reduces the expression of Gli-1 in bladder cancer cells. Moreover, we verified that tetrandrine inhibits metastasis and induces mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) of bladder cancer through downregulation of Gli-1, which could be partially reversed by Gli-1 overexpression. In conclusion, our findings show that tetrandrine inhibits migration and invasion, and reverses EMT of bladder cancer cells through negatively regulating Gli-1. It indicates that Gli-1 may be a potential therapeutic target of tetrandrine against bladder cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE On the basis of the high 1-month stroke and/or death (14.7%) rates associated with stent placement in the Stenting versus Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Stenosis trial, modifications in patient selection and procedural aspects for intracranial stent placement have been recommended. We performed a multicenter prospective single-arm trial to determine whether such modifications would result in lower rates of periprocedural stroke and/or death. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study enrolled patients with recent transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke (excluding perforator ischemic events) related to high-grade (70%-99% in severity) stenosis of a major intracranial artery. Patients were treated by using angioplasty and self-expanding stents 3 weeks after the index ischemic event at 1 of the 10 high-volume centers in China. An independent neurologist ascertained the occurrence of any stroke and/or death within 1 month after the procedure. RESULTS A total of 100 consecutive patients were recruited. The target lesions were located in the middle cerebral artery (M1) (n = 38, 38%), intracranial internal carotid artery (n = 17, 17%), intradural vertebral artery (n = 18, 18%), and basilar artery (n = 27, 27%). The technical success rate of stent deployment with residual stenosis of <50% was 100%. The overall 1-month stroke and/or death rate was 2% (95% confidence interval, 0.2%-7.0%). Two ischemic strokes occurred in the pontine region (perforator distribution) in patients following angioplasty and stent placement for basilar artery stenosis. CONCLUSIONS The results of this prospective multicenter study demonstrated that modifications in patient selection and procedural aspects can substantially reduce the 1-month stroke and/or death rate following intracranial stent placement.
