BACKGROUND
Current guidelines recommend intensive low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering by ≥50% to target LDL-C <1.4mmol/L after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Residual distance to LDL-C target can help select treatment strategy after initial statin therapy.
PURPOSE
We aimed to evaluate residual distance to guideline recommended target LDL-C and the proportion of ACS patients who are projected to reach target LDL-C by different statin and non-statin lipid lowering strategies.
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed 46,114 patients admitted with ACS who survived 1 year from 18 acute hospitals in Hong Kong between Jan 2014 and Dec 2018. Patients were divided into (i) high potency (HP-S; rosuvastatin ≥20mg, atorvastatin ≥40mg or simvastatin ≥80mg); (ii) non-high potency (NHP-S; other statin doses) statin users and (iii) no statin therapy. We calculated the mean distance and percentage LDL-C reduction required to reach dual LDL-C targets (>50% reduction from baseline and <1.4mmol/L). We assumed up-titration from NHP-S to HP-S would further reduce LDL-C by approximately 5-10%; addition of ezetimibe 15-20% and PCSK-9 inhibitor 50-60%.
RESULTS
Of 46,114 patients (60.7% males, mean age 76.2 ± 13.3 years), 80.4% (n = 10945/13614) had LDL-C ≥1.4mmol/L at 12-months after index ACS with 60.2% (n = 18319/30450), 31.9% (n = 9726/30450) and 8.0% (2405/30450) of patients on no statin, NHP-S and HP-S, respectively. 86% of HP-S and 93% of NHP-S users did not reach dual LDL-C targets at 12-months. Among patients on NHP-S and HP-S, the mean LDL-C at 12-months was 2.0 ± 0.7 and2.1 ± 0.9 mmol/L; mean residual distance to target 0.64 ± 0.7 and0.66 ± 0.9 mmol/L; and mean percentage LDL-C reduction required to reach dual LDL-C targets was 22.4 ± 33% and 18.8 ± 36%, respectively. 13% of statin users required >50% further LDL-C reduction to reach targets. Projected proportion of NHP-S users to reach LDL-C targets is 11% (n = 430/3966) by up-titrating to HP-S, 21% (n = 828/3966) by up-titration to HP-S plus ezetimibe and 100% (n = 3966/3966) with PCSK-9 inhibitor plus HP-S and ezetimibe. Projected proportion of HP-S users to reach LDL-C targets is 13% (n = 143/1099) by ezetimibe and 100% (n = 1099/1099) with addition of PCSK-9 inhibitor.
CONCLUSION
The use of high-potency statin was low and almost all statin users did not reach dual LDL-C targets at 12-months after index ACS. High potency statin plus ezetimibe is projected to bridge about a fifth of these patients to target LDL-C. PCSK-9 inhibitor is likely needed in the majority of patients who have not achieved target LDL-C at 12-months after ACS to reach guideline recommendations.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of tannic acid (TA)-treated corn on changes in ruminal fermentation characteristics and the composition of the ruminal bacterial community in vitro. Ruminal fluid was obtained from three rumen-fistulated goats fed a 60:40 (forage/concentrate) diet. The batch cultures consisted of 25 ml of strained rumen fluid in 25 ml of an anaerobic buffer containing 0.56 g of ground corn, 0.24 g of soybean meal, 0.10 g of alfalfa, and 0.10 g of oat grass. Ground corn (2 mm) was steeped in an equal quantity (i.e., in a ratio of 1:1, w/v) of water alone (Con), 15 (TA15), 25 (TA25), and 35 g/l (TA35) TA solution for 12 h. After incubation for 24 h, TA-treated corn linearly increased (P <0.05) ruminal pH and the molar proportion of acetate, but linearly reduced (P <0.05) total volatile fatty acids and the molar proportion of butyrate compared with the Con treatment. Illumina MiSeq sequencing was used to investigate the profile changes of the ruminal microbes. A principal coordinates analysis plot based on weighted UniFrac values revealed that the structure of the ruminal bacterial communities in the control group was different from that of the TA-treated corn groups. The results of changes in the rumen bacterial communities showed that TA-treated corn linearly enriched (P <0.05) Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, but linearly reduced (P <0.05) Ruminococcaceae_NK4A214_group, Ruminococcus_2, and unclassified_o__Clostridiales. Functional prediction of ruminal microbiota revealed that the TA-treated corn linearly decreased ruminal microbiota function of utilizing starch through pyruvate metabolism. In conclusion, TA-treated corn can modulate the rumen fermentation characteristics, microbial composition, and metabolic pathways, which may be potentially useful for preventing the occurrence of ruminal acidosis.

Abstract
Bohai Black (BHB) cattle, one of eight representative indigenous breeds in China, is well known for its high resistance to disease, endurance under unfavorable feeding conditions and excellent meat quality. Over recent, the number of BHB cattle has decreased sharply. To investigate the population structure and genetic diversity of this breed, the whole-genome data of 35 individuals from a conservation farm were obtained using the Illumina 150 bp paired-end platform. The results of the genetic structure and diversity analyses showed that BHB cattle had mixed Bos taurus and Bos indicus ancestry, close phylogenic relationships with Jiaxian Red and Luxi cattle and abundant genetic diversity. The bulls tested here could be divided into six families. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the genetic structure and diversity of the BHB cattle, and lays the theoretical basis for conservation and utilization of the valuable germplasm resource.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between dietary vitamin A intake and its sources in the first trimester and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: A prospective study was conducted to select women at 6-14 weeks of gestation in an obstetric clinic of a maternal and child health care medical institution in Chengdu in 2017. The types and quantities of food during the first trimester were collected by 3-day 24-hour dietary recalls. Dietary vitamin A intake was calculated based on the Chinese Food Composition Table (2018), and it was divided into animal and plant vitamin A intakes according to its food sources. An oral glucose tolerance test was performed at 24-28 weeks of gestation to diagnose GDM according to the Chinese guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus (2014). According to the estimated average requirement (EAR) and recommended nutrient intake (RNI), dietary vitamin A intake was divided into low-level group (<EAR), medium-level group (EAR-RNI) and high-level group (>RNI). Animal and plant vitamin A intakes were divided into four groups (Q1-Q4) according to the quartile method, respectively. The association between dietary vitamin A intake, its different sources of vitamin A intake and GDM in the first trimester was analyzed by log-binomial regression models. Results: A total of 1 298 valid samples were finally included. The average dietary vitamin A intake, animal and plant vitamin A intakes in the first trimester were 341.1 (227.8-501.0) μgRAE/d, 139.3 (69.6-195.3) μgRAE/d and 184.2 (99.4-301.1) μgRAE/d, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, log-binomial regression analysis showed that the risk of GDM in high-level group of dietary vitamin A intake was lower than that in low-level group [RR (95%CI):0.53 (0.36-0.80)]. Pregnant women in the highest quartile of animal vitamin A intake had a lower risk of GDM than those in the lowest quartile [RR (95%CI):0.66 (0.47-0.95)]. No relationship between plant vitamin A intake and GDM was found. Conclusion: Dietary vitamin A intake in the first trimester is associated with the occurrence of GDM, and higher intake than RNI may reduce the risk of GDM. Higher vitamin A intake from animal-derived food is associated with decreased risk of GDM.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Current guideline recommends addition of PCSK9-inhibitor to achieve low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering by ≥50% to target LDL-C <1.4mmol/L for patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) already on maximum tolerated dose of statin and ezetimibe.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate the residual distance to target LDL-C (LDL-C lowered by ≥50% and <1.4mmol/L) in ASCVD patients on statin monotherapy and the proportion projected to reach target LDL-C by up-titration to high potency statin, addition of ezetimibe and PCSK9-inhibitor.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 90,590 patients with ASCVD on stable dose of statin monotherapy prior to lipid profile assessment from 43 public hospitals in Hong Kong between Aug 2016 and Jul 2020. Patients were divided into (i) high potency statin (HP-S; rosuvastatin ≥20mg, atorvastatin ≥40mg or simvastatin ≥80mg) and (ii) non-high potency statin (NHP-S; other statin doses) statin users. We calculated the mean percentage LDL-C reduction required to reach the target of LDL-C lowered by ≥50% and <1.4mmol/L. We assumed up-titration from NHP-S to HP-S would further reduce LDL-C by approximately 5–10%; addition of ezetimibe 15–20% and PCSK-9 inhibitor 50–60%.
Results
Of 90,590 patients (63.2% male, mean age 66.8±11.3), 80.5% had coronary artery, 1.6% had peripheral artery and 21% had cerebrovascular disease; 18.7% were on HP-S and 81.3% on NHP-S. LDL-C lowered by ≥50% and <1.4mmol/L were not achieved in 96.8% (n=71,333/73,655) patients on NHP-S and 93.9% (n=15,896/16,935) patients on HP-S. In these patients, mean LDL-C was 1.8±0.6 and 1.9±0.6mmol/L and mean percentage LDL-C reduction required to reach target LDL-C goal was 40.5±15.4% and 39.3±17.8%, respectively. The proportion of patients who required 5–10%, 10–30%, 30–60% and >60% further reduction to reach target LDL-C were 2.5%, 22.1%, 65.4% and 9%, respectively. Proportion of NHP-S patients projected to reach LDL-C goal by up-titrating to HP-S is 2.2% (n=1,569/71,333). Addition of ezetimibe is projected to achieve LDL-C target in 20.5% (n=17,519/85,660) patients on HP-S who are not at goal. Overall, 78.1% (n=68,141/87,229) of patients on HP-S and ezetimibe were expected to need PCSK-9 inhibitor and is projected to achieve LDL-C target in 98% of cases (n=66,806/68,141).
Conclusion
Our “real-world” study showed the use of HP-S in ASCVD patients was low and >90% did not reach LDL-C target. High potency statin plus ezetimibe was projected to bridge about one fifth of these patients to target LDL-C. PCSK-9 inhibitor is likely required in significant number of patients despite HP-S plus ezetimibe.

Abstract
This Letter reports a novel helical sapphire fiber Bragg grating (HSFBG) in a single crystal sapphire fiber with diameter of 60 µm fabricated by a 515 nm femtosecond laser. Due to the large refractive index modulation region and high structural symmetry of the HSFBGs, high-reflectivity and high-quality spectra can be prepared and additionally have good bending resistance. The spectral properties of HSFBGs with different helical diameters are studied. When the helical diameter is 30 µm, the reflectivity of HSFBG is 40%, the full width at half-maximum is 1.56 nm, and the signal-to-noise ratio is 16 dB. For the HSFBG bending test, the minimum bending radius is 5 mm, which can still maintain relatively good spectral quality. In addition, the HSFBG array with different periods has been successfully cascaded in a sapphire fiber. The experimental results of the HSFBG high-temperature test show that this HSFBG can work reliably at 1600°C, and the temperature sensitivity in the high-temperature range can reach 35.55 pm/°C. This HSFBG can be used in high-temperature and harsh environments, such as metal smelting and aeroengine structural health monitoring.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the effects of intensive insulin therapy combined with glutamine on nutritional metabolism, inflammatory response, and hemodynamics in severe burn patients. Methods: Thirty-two severe burn patients who met the inclusion criteria and hospitalized in the Affiliated Huaihai Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from June 2017 to January 2019 were recruited into a prospectively randomized controlled study. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into conventional insulin therapy alone group, conventional insulin therapy+glutamine group, intensive insulin therapy alone group, and intensive insulin therapy+glutamine group, with 8 patients in each group, with genders of 5 males and 3 females, 4 males and 4 females, 3 males and 5 females, 4 males and 4 females, and ages of (35±7), (36±9), (33±11), and (38±7) years, respectively. Patients in conventional insulin therapy alone group were treated with conventional insulin therapy on the basis of routine treatment to control the blood glucose. Patients in conventional insulin therapy+glutamine group were supplemented with alanyl-glutamine for more than 14 days in addition to the treatment in conventional insulin therapy alone group. Patients in intensive insulin therapy alone group were treated with intensive insulin therapy on the basis of routine treatment to control the blood glucose. Patients in intensive insulin therapy+glutamine group were supplemented with alanyl-glutamine in addition to the treatment in intensive insulin therapy alone group. On treatment day (TD) 1, 3, 7, and 14, the blood glucose, albumin, prealbumin, white blood cell count, procalcitonin (PCT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) of patients in the 4 groups were detected. The cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) of patients in the 4 groups on TD 1, 3, and 7 were measured. Data were statistically analyzed with Fisher's exact probability test, one-way analysis of variance, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, and Bonferroni method. Results: All patients in the 4 groups successfully completed the study, and there were no withdrawal cases. On TD 3, 7, and 14, the blood glucose of patients in intensive insulin therapy alone group ((5.9±1.3), (5.8±0.6), (5.5±0.5) mmol/L) and intensive insulin therapy+glutamine group ((5.9±1.1), (5.6±1.1), (5.2±0.8) mmol/L) were significantly lower than those in conventional insulin therapy alone group ((9.1±0.5), (8.4±0.9), (7.4±1.1) mmol/L, P<0.05). Compared with those in conventional insulin therapy alone group, the levels of albumin of patients in conventional insulin therapy+glutamine group, intensive insulin therapy alone group, and intensive insulin therapy+glutamine group were significantly increased on TD 7 and 14 (P<0.05). Compared with the level of albumin of patients in intensive insulin therapy+glutamine group, the levels of albumin of patients in conventional insulin therapy+glutamine group and intensive insulin therapy alone group were significantly decreased on TD 14 (P<0.05). Compared with those in conventional insulin therapy alone group, the levels of prealbumin of patients in conventional insulin therapy+glutamine group and intensive insulin therapy alone group were significantly increased on TD 7 and 14 (P<0.05). Compared with those in intensive insulin therapy+glutamine group, the levels of prealbumin of patients in intensive insulin therapy alone group and conventional insulin therapy+glutamine group were significantly decreased on TD 1, 7, and 14 (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the white blood cell count, PCT, and CRP of patients in the 4 groups in pairwise comparison between groups on TD 1, 3, 7, and 14 (P>0.05). On TD 3 and 7, the levels of cardiac index, SVI, GEDVI, and SVRI of patients in intensive insulin therapy+glutamine group were significantly higher than those in conventional insulin therapy alone group (P<0.05), while the levels of EVLWI and PVPI were significantly lower than those in conventional insulin therapy alone group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Glutamine combined with intensive insulin therapy can improve the hypermetabolism in patients after severe burns, reduce the decomposition and consumption of endogenous nutrient substrates, and at the same time help the recovery of cardiac function and maintenance of hemodynamic stability.

Abstract
Many studies have associated altered intestinal bacterial communities and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but the putative effects are inconclusive. The purpose of this network meta-analysis (NMA) was to evaluate the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through randomised intervention trials. Literature searches were performed until March 2020. For each outcome, a random NMA was performed, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was determined. A total of 22 randomised trials comparing prebiotic, probiotic, and synbiotic treatments included 1301 participants. Considering all seven results (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, body mass index, weight, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) together, the highest SUCRA values are probiotics (94%), synbiotics (61%) and prebiotics (56%), respectively. NMA results provide evidence that probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics can alleviate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, due to the lack of high-quality randomised trials, this research also has some limitations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Yiqi Buxue decoction on hemodynamic changes of the uterine artery and fetal umbilical artery and pregnancy outcomes in pregnant patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). METHODS 120 pregnant patients with PAH treated in our hospital (January 2019-January 2020) were chosen as the research objects, and randomly split into group A (n = 60) and group B (n = 60). Both groups received routine treatment, and group B was treated with sildenafil citrate, while group A was treated with Yiqi Buxue decoction combined with sildenafil citrate. Both groups received 6 weeks of treatment to analyze the hemodynamic changes of the uterine artery and fetal umbilical artery and compare the cardiopulmonary function indexes and pregnancy outcomes between the two groups. RESULTS The hemodynamic indexes of the uterine artery and fetal umbilical artery, cardiopulmonary function indexes, and pregnancy outcomes in group A after treatment were notably better compared with group B (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Yiqi Buxue decoction can stabilize the hemodynamics of pregnant patients with PAH, improve their cardiopulmonary function, alleviate hypotension, and thus, reduce the possibility of adverse pregnancy outcomes, which should be popularized in practice.

Abstract
Injury is a threat to children globally and appears as the leading cause of death among children aged 1 to 17 years in China. Child injury prevention is a public health measure with a high cost-benefit ratio. Many years of research and practices have proved the effectiveness of specific child injury interventions. It is recommended that China should strengthen multi-sectoral cooperation and coordination mechanism on child injury prevention, including the clear clarification of responsibility and ensuring the necessary financial support. It is also essential to widely implement various effective interventions to ensure the healthy development of children.

Abstract
Objective: To figure out the association between the expression of m6A RNA methylation regulators and the prognosis of children AML, and provide genetic markers for monitoring the progression and recurrence of AML. Methods: Twenty two m6A RNA methylation regulators were firstly analyzed using the data from Therapeutically Applicable Research To Generate Effective Treatments(TARGET) database and The Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx) database, Wilcoxon rank test was performed to analyze the differentially expression of m6A RNA methylation regulators between the AML and normal tissue, 296 AML children were divided into training cohort and validation cohort by simple random sampling method, Lasso regression was used to screen out the risk factors and the multivariate Cox regression was applied for establishing prognosis predicting model in training cohort. Kaplan-Meier survival curve, time-dependent ROC curve and multivariate Cox regression were used to estimate the efficiency of risk score calculated by predictive model in validation cohort. Results: Twenty one m6A genes were up regulated in AML compared to Normal patients. Five m6A RNA methylation regulators(ZC3H13, YTHDC2, HNRNPA2B1, METTL3, METTL5) were included in final predicting model. Risk score could independently predict the survival of AML patients in training cohort(HR:2.72, 95%CI: 1.54-4.81, P=0.000 6) and validation cohort(HR:2.01, 95%CI:1.14-3.50, P=0.016). Low-risk patients had better prognoses than high-risk patients both in training cohort(P=0.001 9) and validation cohort(P=0.023). Conclusion: This prognosis predicting model constructed by m6A RNA methylation regulators could independently predict the survival prognosis in AML children, and should be helpful for clinical therapy.

Abstract
Plant endophytic bacteria colonize the internal tissues of plants and interact with plants closely. The past two decades have witnessed the increasing application of next-generation 16S rRNA gene sequencing in the investigation of bacterial communities. However, deciphering plant endo-bacterial communities by this method is difficult because of the co-amplification of massive plant organellar DNAs with bacterial 16S. Here, we designed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer sets, including 799F/1107R, 322F/796R, and 322F-Dr/796Rs (primer pair 322F/796R with a penultimate-base substitution in 322F), that can specifically amplify bacterial 16S from plant total DNAs. We computationally and experimentally evaluated the specificity, coverage, and accuracy of the newly designed primer sets. Both 799F/1107R and 322F-Dr/796Rs produced plant DNA-free 16S amplicon libraries or reduced plant DNA contamination to lower than 5% for the plant materials with extremely-low-abundance bacterial communities. The primer set 322F-A/796R was used through absolute quantitative PCR to quantitate the population size of rice leaf or root endo-bacteriome, which revealed 106-107 and 109-1010 bacteria per gram fresh weight, respectively. These 16S primer sets and amplification methods enable the simple and inexpensive next-generation sequencing and quantification of plant endo-bacteriome, which will significantly advance studies on the plant-related microbiome.

Abstract
Treatments for many common dermatologic diagnoses are denied insurance coverage due to their arbitrary cosmetic classification. Melasma is one such diagnosis often considered cosmetic by payers, and since it is commonly identified in darker-skinned individuals, its cosmetic classification creates an economic barrier for patients of color. Although dermatologists have previously described insurance coverage gaps for conditions typically seen in patients of color, this coverage gap has never been quantified.1 Thus, we investigated the rate of insurance coverage for first-line topical treatments for rosacea versus melasma. Rosacea and melasma share a number of key features - both are common, chronic, dermatological conditions that are exacerbated by sun exposure, are primarily treated topically, and cause measurably decreased quality of life in affected patients.2,3 Rosacea, however, is often diagnosed in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I-II, with 91.8% of rosacea diagnoses seen in white patients, while melasma is predominantly diagnosed in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types III-V.4-6.

Atmospheric pressure plasma treatment induces abscisic acid production, reduces stomatal aperture and improves seedling growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract
Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas (CAPPs) have been widely used for pre-sowing treatment in agriculture to accelerate seed germination; however, information on their application to pre-transplant seedlings is scarce. The roles of the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) on guard cell aperture that control air exchange with the environment were investigated after CAPPs treatment. In this study, Arabidopsis thaliana seedling growth was evaluated under CAPPs treatment at different doses. Besides, the optimal growth stimulation dose was selected to further evaluate changes in ABA, ROS, Ca2+ and stomatal aperture during growth .The expression of most ABA signalling genes were aslo examined to investigate the mechanism. CAPPs treatment for 1 min significantly promoted Arabidopsis seedling growth; the ABA concentration in seedlings increased and peaked 48 h after treatment but was lower than in the control after 96 h. Transcript levels of most ABA signalling genes were markedly enhanced at 48 h, although their transcripts were significantly downregulated after 96 h. CAPPs treatment also reduced stomatal aperture after 24 h and accelerated ROS accumulation in guard cells. The Ca2+ concentration in the treatment group was markedly higher than in the control at 24 and 96 h. The results suggest that CAPPs treatment accelerates ABA accumulation in Arabidopsis at early growth stages and ABA regulates ROS and Ca2+ concentrations to affect stomatal aperture, and both ABA and stoma size are affected in CAPPs stimulation of Arabidopsis seedling growth.

Constraints on Cosmic Strings Using Data from the Third Advanced LIGO-Virgo Observing Run. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2021; 126:241102. [PMID: 34213926 DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.97.102002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of curcumol on the proliferation, apoptosis and collagen synthesis of keloid fibroblasts and explore the underlying mechanism. OBJECTIVE Keloid fibroblasts were treated with different concentrations of curcumol (10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/L) or with 160 mg/L curcumol and 20 μmol/L ISO (an ERK signaling pathway activator). Western blotting was performed to detect the expression levels of proliferation-associated proteins (cyclin D1 and PCNA), fibrosis marker proteins (Col1A1, Col3A1 and α-SMA), apoptosis proteins (Bcl-2, Bax and cleaved caspase-3) and ERK signaling pathway proteins (p-ERK1/2, p-MEK and p-c-Raf) in the cells. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the proliferation and apoptosis rate of the treated cells, respectively. OBJECTIVE Curcumol at 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/L all reduced the protein expressions of cyclin D1, PCNA and Bcl-2, inhibited the expressions of fibrotic marker proteins Col1A1, Col3A1 and α-SMA, decreased the levels of ERK signaling pathway proteins p-ERK1/2, p-MEK and p-c-Raf, and increased the expressions of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 proteins (P < 0.05). Curcumol treatment at 160 mg/L obviously inhibited the proliferation and collagen synthesis, promoted cell apoptosis and inhibited the ERK signaling pathway in the keloid fibroblasts; treatment with ISO significantly reversed the effects of curcumol on the proliferation, apoptosis, collagen synthesis and ERK signal pathway of the cells. OBJECTIVE Curcumol regulates proliferation, apoptosis and collagen synthesis in keloid fibroblasts through the ERK signaling pathway.
