Abstract
OBJECTIVE Retinoblastoma seriously threats to human health and life. Molecular targeted therapy of retinoblastoma supplies the direction of research in the future. This study aims to investigate the impact of DUSP1 on human retinoblastoma SO-Rb5 cell senescence. MATERIALS AND METHODS Angiotensin II (AGII) was used to induce human retinoblastoma SO-Rb5 cell senescence model. DUSP1 over-expression plasmid and small interfere RNA (siRNA) were transfected into SO-Rb5 cells by Lipofectamine. Dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), p53, p16, and protein kinase B (Akt) signaling expressions were detected with Western blot assay. SH-6 was applied to inhibit Akt signaling in SO-Rb5 cells. Cell senescence was evaluated by using β-galactosidase test. RESULTS DUSP1 level increased in SO-Rb5 cells induced by AGII. Senescence protein p53 and p16 significantly upregulated in SO-Rb5 cell senescence model, together with β-galactosidase staining. DUSP1 plasmid transfection significantly enhanced DUSP expression, triggered SO-Rb5 cell senescence, and inhibited Akt signaling activation. DUSP1 siRNA exhibited the opposite effects. SH-6 significantly increased SO-Rb5 cell senescence induced by AGII through inhibiting Akt signaling. CONCLUSIONS DUSP1 facilitated human retinoblastoma SO-Rb5 cell senescence induced by AGII through inhibiting Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the protective effect of simvastatin on arterial plaque instability induced by p-cresyl sulfate (PCS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-/- mice were selected as objects of this study. All mice were randomly divided into three groups: 1) the control group, 2) the PCS group and 3) the PCS + simvastatin group. After successful modeling, the levels of plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-β (TNF-β) were detected. The gross specimen of coronary artery was stained. Meanwhile, oil red O staining and Sirius red staining were performed for coronary arterial sections to observe the lipid and collagen components. The expression levels of smooth muscle cells and macrophages were observed by immunohistochemistry. In addition, the expression levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in tissues were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS Simvastatin could improve atherosclerotic plaque growth and atherosclerotic plaque instability induced by PCS. Moreover, simvastatin could also improve the changes of MMPs and TIMPs caused by PCS as well as the inflammatory status in mice. CONCLUSIONS Simvastatin can improve the inflammatory status in mice, eventually improving the arterial plaque instability caused by PCS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-6836-3p in regulating hypertrophic scar (HS) and its potential mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS The level of miR-6836-3p in HS or normal skin was determined by Real-Time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and flow cytometry were applied to explore the effect of miR-98 on the growth and apoptosis of HS fibroblasts (HSFBs). Luciferase assay was employed to acknowledge whether connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a target of miR-6836-3p. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of CTGF after transfection with miR-6836-3p mimic or inhibitor. RESULTS MiR-6836-3p expression was much higher in HS than that in normal skin. MiR-6836-3p mimic promoted fibroblast growth, and CTGF was confirmed to be a direct target of miR-6836-3p. The results of Western blotting clarified that miR-6836-3p mimic raised the level of CTGF, and its expression was positively correlated with that of CTGF. CONCLUSIONS MiR-6836-3p promoted the development of HS by increasing the expression of CTGF. MiR-6836-3p may be a potential novel molecular target for the treatment of HS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) expression and drug resistance in the brain of rats with epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected, and the animal model of epilepsy was established by electrical stimulation. These rats were randomly divided into the control group and the drug-resistant group. The model of drug-resistant epilepsy was screened with phenytoin (PHT) and phenobarbital (PB); the hippocampus and temporal lobe cortex tissues were isolated from rats; the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein levels of Nurr1 in the hippocampus and cortex tissues of the two groups of rats were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The budding tissue marker growth-associated protein-43 (GAP43) in hippocampus tissues were labeled by immunofluorescence staining; the mRNA and protein levels of indicators related to drug-resistant epilepsy, including leukemia-associated phenotype (LAP), multi-drug resistance protein (MRP), P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), were further detected. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations of the protein level of Nurr1 with drug-resistant indicators. RESULTS The mRNA and protein levels of Nurr1 in hippocampus tissues of the drug-resistant group were significantly increased compared with those of the control group (p < 0.05). In temporal lobe cortex tissues, there was no significant difference in the mRNA level of Nurr1 between the control group and the drug-resistant group (p > 0.05). The immunohistochemistry results showed that the fluorescence intensity of GAP3 in hippocampus tissues of the drug-resistant group was significantly higher than that of the control group. The mRNA and protein levels of epilepsy-related indicators, LAP, MRP, P-gp and MCP-1 in hippocampus tissues of drug-resistant group were significantly up-regulated compared with those of the control group (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the protein level of Nurr1 in hippocampus tissues was positively correlated with those of LAP, MRP, P-gp and MCP-1 in the corresponding regions (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Nurr1 enhances the drug resistance of epilepsy in rats by up-regulating the expression of proteins related to drug resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Embryo vitrification induces zona hardening, which can further influence the pregnancy outcome after vitrified human embryo transfer. However, the factors in fertilization or cryopreservation that contribute to zona hardening and influence the efficacy of laser zona thinning (LZT) is not well studied. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether fertilization methods and vitrification affect the efficacy of LZT treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study is a retrospective analysis of embryo transfers. The process involves two fertilization methods before embryo vitrification. LZT is used to deal with zona hardening. The pregnancy outcomes of 1274 embryo transfer cycles were reviewed statistically. RESULTS LZT treatment on vitrified embryos fertilized with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) resulted in a significantly lower pregnancy rate and live birth rate compared to that by in vitro fertilization (IVF) (43.0% vs 54.3%, P=0.023; 34.4% vs 45.7%, P=0.021). LZT treatment on vitrified embryos fertilized with ICSI had a negative impact on pregnancy rate and live birth rate. CONCLUSION The efficacy of LZT treatment is related to the fertilization method rather than vitrification. LZT treatment for zona hardening of the vitrified embryos fertilized with ICSI leads to a lower pregnancy rate and live birth rate.

Abstract
Developing safe, efficient and environment-friendly energy storage systems continues to inspire researchers to synthesize new electrode materials. Doping or substituting host material by some guest elements has been regarded as an effective way to improve the performance of supercapacitors. In this work, single-phase CuCo2-xNixS4 materials were synthesized by a facile two-step hydrothermal method, where Co in CuCo2S4 was substituted by Ni. Cobalt could be easily substituted with Ni in a rational range to keep its constant phase. But, a high content of Ni resulted in a multi-phase composite. Among a series of CuCo2-xNixS4 materials with different Ni/Co mole ratios, CuCo1.25Ni0.75S4 material presented a significantly high specific capacitance (647 F g-1 or 272 C g-1 at 1 A g-1) and the best cycling stability (∼98% specific capacitance retention after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles), which was mainly due to the modified composition, specific single phase, higher electroconductivity, more electroactive sites and the synergistic effect between Ni and Co. Moreover, the assembled asymmetric capacitor using CuCo1.25Ni0.75S4 as a positive electrode and activated carbon as a negative electrode delivered a high energy density of 31.8 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 412.5 W kg-1. These results demonstrated that ternary metal sulfides of CuCo2-xNixS4 are promising electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of rapidity-odd directed flow (v_{1}) for D^{0} and D^{0}[over ¯] mesons at midrapidity (|y|<0.8) in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV using the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In 10-80% Au+Au collisions, the slope of the v_{1} rapidity dependence (dv_{1}/dy), averaged over D^{0} and D^{0}[over ¯] mesons, is -0.080±0.017(stat)±0.016(syst) for transverse momentum p_{T} above 1.5 GeV/c. The absolute value of D^{0} meson dv_{1}/dy is about 25 times larger than that for charged kaons, with 3.4σ significance. These data give a unique insight into the initial tilt of the produced matter, and offer constraints on the geometric and transport parameters of the hot QCD medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between edentulism and cognition in people aged 50 and over in China. Methods: Cross-sectional data was collected from the first wave of World Health Organization Study on global AGEing and adult health in China, among people aged 50 and over in China. A comprehensive cognitive test was used to assess cognitive functions, including verbal recall (VR), verbal fluency (VF), forward digit span (FDS) and backward digit span (BDS) among the subjects. Association between edentulism and cognition was examined by a two-level (individual level and community level) linear model. Results: A total of 12 843 individuals aged 50 years and over were included for analysis, with an average age of (63.0±9.3) years. The overall prevalence of edentulism was 11.0%. The edentulous adults had lower mean scores of VR (4.55), VF (10.88), FDS (6.25), BDS (2.96) and overall cognition (49.15) (P<0.001). Edentulism was negatively associated with VR (β=-0.216, 95%CI: -0.370 - -0.062), FDS (β=-0.186, 95%CI: -0.293 - -0.078) and overall cognition (β=-1.703, 95%CI: -3.025 - -0.381) after adjusted for age, sex, residence, education level, marital status, household income, co-morbidity of chronic conditions, BMI, smoking and drinking alcohol. Conclusion: Edentulism was related with lower cognition level in people aged 50 and over in China.

Abstract
Objective: To investigage the three-dimensional changes in condylar position after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) in skeletal class Ⅲpatients with mandibular deviation using cone-beam CT (CBCT). Methods: Twenty-five skeletal class Ⅲ patients with mandibular deviation were included. The patients (12 males and 13 females, aged 19-25 years, average age 22.4 years) were treated in the Department of Orthodontics, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Nanchang University from October 2013 to March 2017. The patients were divided into T1, T2 and T3 groups (T1 group: CBCT taken within 1 week before operation; T2 group: CBCT taken within 1 week after operation; T3 group: CBCT taken 6-8 months after surgery). Three sets of image data of condyles on both sides (deviation side and contralateral side) were obtained. After the DICOM data collection, the software of Mimics 17.0 was used to perform three-dimensional reconstruction and condylar position measurements: the distance from the condylar top (CoT) to the standard horizontal plane (SHP), the middle sagittal plane (MSP) and the sella coronal plane (SCP) (CoT-SHP, CoT-MSP, CoT-SCP); the distance from the condylar center (CoC) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CoC-SHP, CoC-MSP, CoC-SCP); the angle from the condyle cella plane (CCP) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CCP-SHP, CCP-MSP, CCP-SCP); the angle from the condyle sagittal plane (CSP) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CSP-SHP, CSP-MSP, CSP-SCP) and the distance of the anterior, superior, posterior, medial, central and lateral joint space. One-way ANOVA and LSD-t test were used to compare the changes in condylar position at different periods (T1, T2, and T3). Results: Within 1 week before operation on the deviation side, CoT-SHP [(2.5±1.3) mm], CSP-MSP (41.2°±8.4°) and the posterior joint space [(2.0±0.6) mm] were obviously increased (P<0.05), and CoT-SCP [(9.1±3.3) mm], CCP-MSP (78.2°±5.2°) were decreased significantly (P<0.05); on the contralateral side, CoT-MSP [(50.4±3.1) mm], CCP-MSP (80.6°±6.0°), the anterior joint space [(2.2±0.6) mm] and the medial joint space [(2.6±0.6) mm] were obviously increased (P<0.05), and CCP-SCP (11.4°±8.8°) were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Six to eight months after surgery, CoT-SHP [(2.2±1.0) mm] and the posterior joint space [(1.9±0.5) mm] on deviation side and CoT-SCP [(8.4±2.8) mm] on the contralateral side were increased significantly (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in other measurements (P>0.05). Conclusions: The condylar position in skeletal class Ⅲ patients with mandibular deviation was asymmetrical. Within 1 week after the operation of BSSRO, the condyle on the deviation side was moved forward, downward and inward. Meanwhile, the condyle on the contralateral side was moved backward and outward. Six to eight months after surgery, the condylar position on both sides was gradually restored to the pre-operative condylar position.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Attenuated nighttime blood pressure (BP) fall during a high-sodium diet is associated with higher sodium sensitivity of BP. However, the prognostic value for sodium sensitivity of nighttime BP profile during a habitual diet is not fully understood.
Purpose
To elucidate the usefulness of nighttime BP and dipping patterns under a habitual diet in assessing sodium sensitivity.
Methods
We conducted a dietary intervention study among 250 resident aged 18–60 years with high-normal or stage I hypertension in rural areas of northern China. The 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring and baseline survey were performed for each participant under a habitual diet during the first 3 days. Then participants underwent a 7-day low-sodium intervention (51.3mmol sodium per day), followed by a 7-day high-sodium intervention (307.8mmol sodium per day). Three clinic BP measurements were obtained in every morning of the 3-day baseline observation and days 5, 6, and 7 of each intervention period.
Results
Among 250 participants, 86 (34.4%) had daytime hypertension (DH) and 149 (59.6%) had nighttime hypertension (NH). The systolic BP (SBP) responses to low-sodium and high-sodium intervention were significantly higher in those with NH than those without irrespective of DH status [−8.1 (−9.3, −7.0) vs. −5.5 (−7.0, −4.1) mmHg, P=0.001; and 13.0 (11.6, 14.3) vs. 11.0 (9.3, 12.7) mmHg, P=0.038, respectively]. Compared with dippers, extreme dippers had significantly higher SBP responses to low-sodium and high sodium intervention independently of 24-hour SBP. Moreover, the quadratic curve between nighttime SBP fall and SBP responses to low-sodium (β=−105.5 for quadratic term, P=0.015) and high-sodium (β=108.9 for quadratic term, P=0.035) intervention suggested both non-dipping and extreme dipping might indicate higher sodium sensitivity.
Conclusions
NH as well as non-dipping and extreme dipping determined during a habitual diet might indicate higher sodium sensitivity, which highlights the potential usefulness of nighttime BP profile in assessing sodium sensitivity.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is still one of the most common surgical procedures aimed at improving blood circulation in atherosclerotic coronary arteries.Graft occlusion influences outcome CABG. The risk factors of long-term graft occlusion remain uncertain.The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical predictors of graft occlusion after CABG.
Methods
All patients with prior CABG in our center who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and/or percutaneous coronary angiography for follow-up between Aug 2013 and Dec 2017 were included in the present study. We excluded patients who underwent multiple CABG surgeries or percutaneous coronary intervention after index CABG. With regard to one patient with two or more different angiography results, we selected the angiography result which showed graft occlusion for the first time or the last angiography result. The baseline clinical data at index CABG was analyzed for their independent impact on graft occlusion in a case-control study using multivariate logistic regression.
Results
1178 (27.5%) of 4289 patients experienced at least one graft occlusion. The mean age was 63.23±9.02 years, 1004 (23.4%) patients were female. From all the occlusion cases, artery occlusion occurred in 337 (28.6%) patients and saphenous vein graft occlusion occurred in 875 (74.3%) patients.Complete baseline data was available for evaluation from 1178 of them (case group). We matched these patients through gender, age and time interval between the index CABG and angiography/CTA to another 1178 patients who did not have graft occlusion (control group). After multivariate logistic regression, chronic renal dysfunction (OR=1.008; 95% CI, 1.001–1.021; P=0.038) hyperuricemia (OR=1.89; 95% CI, 1.101–3.876; P=0.040) and hyperlipemia (with low density lipoprotein increased) (OR=1.377; 95% CI, 1.021–1.926; P=0.042) significantly increased the risk of long-term graft occlusion.
Conclusions
Chronic renal dysfunction hyperurcemia and hyperlipemia were independent risk factors of long-term graft occlusion.

Abstract
The Λ (Λ[over ¯]) hyperon polarization along the beam direction has been measured in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV, for the first time in heavy-ion collisions. The polarization dependence on the hyperons' emission angle relative to the elliptic flow plane exhibits a second harmonic sine modulation, indicating a quadrupole pattern of the vorticity component along the beam direction, expected due to elliptic flow. The polarization is found to increase in more peripheral collisions, and shows no strong transverse momentum (p_{T}) dependence at p_{T} greater than 1 GeV/c. The magnitude of the signal is about 5 times smaller than those predicted by hydrodynamic and multiphase transport models; the observed phase of the emission angle dependence is also opposite to these model predictions. In contrast, the kinematic vorticity calculations in the blast-wave model tuned to reproduce particle spectra, elliptic flow, and the azimuthal dependence of the Gaussian source radii measured with the Hanbury Brown-Twiss intensity interferometry technique reproduce well the modulation phase measured in the data and capture the centrality and transverse momentum dependence of the polarization signal.

Abstract
We report on the first measurements of J/ψ production at very low transverse momentum (p_{T}<0.2 GeV/c) in hadronic Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and U+U collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=193 GeV. Remarkably, the inferred nuclear modification factor of J/ψ at midrapidity in Au+Au (U+U) collisions reaches about 24 (52) for p_{T}<0.05 GeV/c in the 60%-80% collision centrality class. This noteworthy enhancement cannot be explained by hadronic production accompanied by cold and hot medium effects. In addition, the dN/dt distribution of J/ψ for the very low p_{T} range is presented for the first time. The distribution is consistent with that expected from the Au nucleus and shows a hint of interference. Comparison of the measurements to theoretical calculations of coherent production shows that the excess yield can be described reasonably well and reveals a partial disruption of coherent production in semicentral collisions, perhaps due to the violent hadronic interactions. Incorporating theoretical calculations, the results strongly suggest that the dramatic enhancement of J/ψ yield observed at extremely low p_{T} originates from coherent photon-nucleus interactions. In particular, coherently produced J/ψ's in violent hadronic collisions may provide a novel probe of the quark-gluon plasma.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) and occupational stress(OS) among street office staffs of a city in china. Methods: A total of 504 street office staffs were collected by using stratified cluster sampling method from April to June in 2016, the international physical activity questionnaire(IPAQ) and job content questionnaire(JCQ) were used to survey the PA and OS. Results: In all subjects, the average score of job demand was(3.57±0.83), job decision was(2.71±0.63), social support was (2.79±0.79), demand-control ratio was (1.35±0.47) and 75.60% felt OS in self-evaluation. There were significant differences in OS between subjects with different gender, ages, job rank and job hours (P<0.01), also, there were significant differences in OS between different levels of occupational and leisure related PA (P<0.01). After controlling the potentially confounding effects, compared with low PA group, the OR values of medium-level and high-level groups of occupation-related PA were 1.38(95%CI=1.21~1.94) and 2.21(95%CI=2.06~2.67) respectively, however, the OR values of the medium-level and high-level groups of leisure-related PA were 0.89(95%CI=0.73~1.12) and 0.67(95%CI=0.38~0.96) respectively. Conclusion: Street office staffs have high level of OS, and leisure-related PA may be a protective factor for occupational stress.

Abstract
Background Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in gynecological cancer. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) contribute to the occurrence, progression and resistance. Small nucleolar RNAs (SnoRNAs), a class of small molecule non-coding RNA, involve in the cancer cell stemness and tumorigenesis. Methods In this study, we screened out SNORNAs related to ovarian patient’s prognosis by analyzing the data of 379 cases of ovarian cancer patients in the TCGA database, and analyzed the difference of SNORNAs expression between OVCAR-3 (OV) sphere-forming (OS) cells and OV cells. After overexpression or knockdown SNORD89, the expression of Nanog, CD44, and CD133 was measured by qRT-PCR or flow cytometry analysis in OV, CAOV-3 (CA) and OS cells, respectively. CCK-8 assays, plate clone formation assay and soft agar colony formation assay were carried out to evaluate the changes of cell proliferation and self-renewal ability. Scratch migration assay and trans-well invasion analysis were used for assessing the changes of migration and invasion ability. Results High expression of SNORD89 indicates the poor prognosis of ovarian cancer patients and was associated with patients’ age, therapy outcome. SNORD89 highly expressed in ovarian cancer stem cells. The overexpression of SNORD89 resulted in the increased stemness markers, S phase cell cycle, cell proliferation, invasion and migration ability in OV and CA cells. Conversely, these phenomena were reversed after SNORD89 silencing in OS cells. Further, we found that SNORD89 could upregulate c-Myc and Notch1 expression in mRNA and protein levels. SNORD89 deteriorates the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients by regulating Notch1-c-Myc pathway to promote cell stemness and acts as an oncogene in ovarian tumorigenesis. Consequently, SNORD89 can be a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Canine kobuvirus (CaKoV) is a newly emerging virus in dogs, which relates to the diarrhea of dogs. To investigate the CaKoV infection in dog population, fecal samples of dogs were collected from three provinces of China in 2015. The results of genetic analysis based on the complete VP1 gene showed that six CaKoVs isolates in this study were closely related with the Chinese canine originated isolate CH1 (90.6%-91.9% nucleotide identities). The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the Chinese isolates clustered into a unique branch compared with isolates from other countries. The present study suggested that the CaKoVs had established infection in Chinese dog population. The systematic epidemiological investigation should be further carried out to evaluate the prevalence of the CaKoV infection in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Seminal plasma is a promising diagnostic fluid for male infertility. In assisted reproduction, the seminal plasma-based characteristics of normozoospermic men achieving successful clinical pregnancy through rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection after in vitro fertilization failure remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To identify potential seminal plasma proteins to contribute to a new understanding of unexplained male factor infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS An approach with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification labeling coupled with liquid chromatography matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry was applied to investigate differentially expressed proteins in the seminal plasma of a rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection pregnancy group versus an in vitro fertilization pregnancy group of normozoospermic men. RESULT(S) The present work revealed seventy-three differentially expressed seminal plasma proteins between the in vitro fertilization and rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection groups. Forty-five proteins were upregulated, and 28 proteins were downregulated in the rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection group compared with the in vitro fertilization group. Bioinformatics analyses showed that these altered proteins were involved in various functions, including the kallikrein-related proteolytic cascade, immune response, and heparin binding. Furthermore, the validity of the proteomic results was verified by Western blot analysis of the proteins (lactoferrin [LTF], fibronectin [FN1], creatine kinase B type [CKB], kallikrein-2 [KLK2], aminopeptidase N [ANPEP], extracellular matrix protein 1 [ECM1], glycodelin [PAEP], alpha-1-antitrypsin [SERPINA1], and semenogelin-1 [SEMG1]) and immunofluorescence. Moreover, 16% of the seminal plasma proteins identified in the present work have not been reported in previous studies. DISCUSSION This panel of altered seminal plasma proteins associated with unexplained male factor infertility might have clinical relevance and may be useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of idiopathic infertility in in vitro fertilization. CONCLUSIONS Our work not only provides a new complementary high-confidence dataset of seminal plasma proteins but also shines new light onto the molecular characteristics of seminal plasma from normozoospermic men with different assisted reproductive outcomes.

Abstract
Systematic exploration of the synthesis of mixed-metal Dy-M nitride clusterfullerenes (NCFs, M = Gd, Er, Tm, Lu) is performed, and the impact of the second metal on the relative yield is evaluated. We demonstrate that the ionic radius of the metal appears to be the main factor allowing explanation of the relative yields in Dy-M mixed-metal systems with M = Sc, Lu, Er, and Gd. At the same time, Dy-Tm NCFs show anomalously low yields, which is not consistent with the relatively small ionic radius of Tm3+ but can be explained by the high third ionization potential of Tm. Complete separation of Dy-Gd and Dy-Er, as well as partial separation of Dy-Lu M3N@C80 nitride clusterfullerenes, is accomplished by recycling HPLC. The molecular structures of DyGd2N@C80 and DyEr2N@C80 are analyzed by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A remarkable ordering of mixed-metal nitride clusters is found despite similar size and electronic properties of the metals. Possible pyramidalization of the nitride clusters in these and other nitride clusterfullerenes is critically analyzed with the help of DFT calculations and reconstruction of the nitrogen inversion barrier in M3N@C80 molecules is performed. Although a double-well potential with a pyramidal cluster structure is found to be common for most of them, the small size of the inversion barrier often leads to an apparent planar structure of the cluster. This situation is found for those M3N@C80 molecules in which the energy of the lowest vibrational level exceeds that of the inversion barrier, including Dy3N@C80 and DyEr2N@C80. The genuine pyramidal structure can be observed by X-ray diffraction only when the lowest vibrational level is below the inversion barrier, such as those found in Gd3N@C80 and DyGd2N@C80. The quantum nature of molecular vibrations becomes especially apparent when the size of the inversion barrier is comparable to the energy of the lowest vibrational levels.

Abstract
Objectives Irrigation is the cornerstone of treating skeletal infection by eliminating pathogens in wounds. A previous study shows that irrigation with normal saline (0.9%) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) could improve the removal of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) compared with normal saline (NS) alone. However, it is still unclear whether EDTA solution is effective against infection with drug-resistant bacteria. Methods We established three wound infection models (skin defect, bone-exposed, implant-exposed) by inoculating the wounds with a variety of representative drug-resistant bacteria including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-EC), multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB), multidrug-resistant Enterobacter (MRE), and multidrug-resistant Proteus mirabilis (MRPM). Irrigation and debridement were repeated until the wound culture became negative. The operating times required to eliminate pathogens in wounds were compared through survival analysis. Results Compared with other groups (NS, castile soap, benzalkonium chloride, and bacitracin), the EDTA group required fewer debridement and irrigation operations to achieve pathogen eradication in all three models of wound infection. Conclusion Irrigation with EDTA solution was more effective than the other irrigation fluids used in the treatment of wound infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens. Cite this article: Z.

Abstract
During our investigation of Camellia sinensis diseases (2013–2018), a new leaf spot disease was found in seven provinces of China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Tibet and Yunnan), occurring on both arboreal and terraced tea plants. The leaf spots were round to irregular, brown to dark brown, with grey or tangerine margins. Multi-locus (LSU, ITS, gapdh, tef-1α, tub2) phylogenetic analyses combined with morphological observations revealed four new species belonging to the genus Setophoma, i.e.S. antiqua, S. longinqua, S. yingyisheniae and S. yunnanensis. Of these four species, S. yingyisheniae was found to be present on diseased terraced tea plants in six of the seven sampled provinces (excluding Yunnan). The other three species only occurred on arboreal tea plants in Yunnan Province. In addition to the four species isolated from diseased leaves, S. endophytica sp. nov. was isolated from healthy leaves of terraced tea plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past few decades, immunological checkpoint therapy has been an increasingly prominent strategy in the treatment of tumors, including prostate cancer (PC). There are few systematic studies of the phenotypic of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in PC tissues. METHODS CIBERSORT is an analytical tool for estimating the abundance of member cell types in mixed cell population by gene expression data. Herein, we analyzed different levels of tumor-infiltrating immunity cells in normal tissue compared with PC using CIBERSORT. RESULTS The results showed that proportion of M1 macrophages and resting mast cells presented significant differences in prostate tumor than these normal tissues. A higher proportion of resting mast cells was associated with a worse outcome and M1 macrophages was associated with a favorable outcome. Moreover, the radiotherapy and targeted molecular therapy can affect the immune infiltration of M1 macrophages and resting mast cells. CONCLUSIONS Resting mast cells and M1 macrophages has an important role in the prognosis of prostate cancer. Our data provides valuable information about the future treatment of PC.

Abstract
The first (v_{1}^{fluc}), second (v_{2}), and third (v_{3}) harmonic coefficients of the azimuthal particle distribution at midrapidity are extracted for charged hadrons and studied as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) and mean charged particle multiplicity density ⟨N_{ch}⟩ in U+U (sqrt[s_{NN}]=193 GeV), Au+Au, Cu+Au, Cu+Cu, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV with the STAR detector. For the same ⟨N_{ch}⟩, the v_{1}^{fluc} and v_{3} coefficients are observed to be independent of the collision system, while v_{2} exhibits such a scaling only when normalized by the initial-state eccentricity (ϵ_{2}). The data also show that ln(v_{2}/ϵ_{2}) scales linearly with ⟨N_{ch}⟩^{-1/3}. These measurements provide insight into initial-geometry fluctuations and the role of viscous hydrodynamic attenuation on v_{n} from small to large collision systems.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the protective effect of carbon monoxide releasing molecule 2 (CORM-2) on post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction in rats. Methods: Forty male SD rats which were healthy were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operated group(sham group), cardiopulmonary resuscitation(PCR) group, DMSO group, inactivated CORM-2(iCORM-2) group and CORM-2 group (n=8 each). Established the model of post-cardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction by intravenous potassium chloride (4 ℃) injection combined with asphyxiation for 4 minutes and then followed by artificial chest compression for 3 minutes. Sham group: rats were instrumented with catheter without inducing cardiac arrest and resuscitation, and intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% normal saline (4 ml/kg) was performed 12 hours before catheterization. CPR group: rats were instrumented with catheters and underwent CPR, and intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% normal saline (4 ml/kg) was performed 12 hours before surgery.CORM-2 group: rats were instrumented with catheters and underwent CPR, intraperitoneally injected the prepared CORM-2 solution (4 mg/kg) at 12 hours before surgery. DMSO group: rats were instrumented with catheters and underwent CPR, intraperitoneally injected the prepared DMSO solution (4 ml/kg) at 12 hours before surgery. iCORM-2 group: rats were instrumented with catheters and underwent CPR, iCORM-2 solution (4 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected at 12 hours before surgery. Hemodynamic data (MAP, +dp/dtmax, -dp/dt) were continuously monitored and recorded for 4 hours after resuscitation (or catheterization) in each group. Myocardial tissue specimen and blood samples were taken after resuscitation (or catheterization). The myocardial ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscope. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was measured by lactate-pyruvate method. Serum creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) concentration was measured by ELISA. Western blot was used to detect the levels of Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cyt-C protein in myocardial tissue. Results: MAP, +dp/dtmax and -dp/dt at 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post resuscitation were significantly lower than those immediately after catheterization in CRP, DMSO, iCORM-2 groups (all P<0.05). MAP at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post resuscitation were significantly lower in CRP, DMSO and iCORM-2 groups than those at respective time points in sham group (all P<0.05), while MAP was similar between CORM-2 group and Sham group at these time points (all P>0.05). +dp/dtmax and -dp/dt values at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post resuscitation were lower than those at respective time points in sham group and significance was found at 0.5, 1 and 2 hours post resuscitation (both P<0.05), while +dp/dtmax and -dp/dt values were similar between CORM-2 group and sham group at various time points (all P>0.05). Myocardial ultrastructure, especially mitochondrial structural integrity was better preserved in the CORM-2 group than those in the other resuscitation groups at 4 hours after resuscitation. Serum LDH activity and CK-MB concentration were significantly elevated at 4 hours after resuscitation in the CPR group, DMSO group and iCORM-2 group than those in sham group (all P<0.01); CK-MB concentration was also higher in CORM-2 group than that in sham group,and LDH level was similar between CORM-2 group and sham group (P>0.05). Serum LDH activity and CK-MB concentrations were significantly lower in the CORM-2 group than those in the other resuscitation groups (all P<0.01). The myocardial expressions of Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cyt-C at 4 hours after resuscitation were significantly higher in the CPR group, DMSO group and iCORM-2 group than those in sham group; the myocardial expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were significantly higher in CORM-2 group than those in sham group (both P<0.05), while Cyt-C expression was similar between CORM-2 group and sham group. The expressions of the above 3 proteins were significantly lower in the CORM-2 group than those in the other resuscitation groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions: CORM-2 can effectively alleviate post-resuscitation myocardial injury in rats with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and improve cardiac function. Protecting myocardial mitochondria and inhibiting mitochondrial apoptosis pathway may serve as the protective mechanisms in this model.

Abstract
Objective: To study the association between polymorphisms in CYP19A1 rs2899470, GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 rs1695 and the development of endometriosis. Methods: Between October 2015 and October 2017, 262 endometriosis patients and 275 control subjects were recruited from the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. Genotyping was conducted using polymerase chain reaction-coupled with restriction fragment length polymorphism and multiplex allele specific polymerase chain reaction. Results: Individuals carrying the TT genotype of CYP19A1 rs2899470 expressed a higher risk of endometriosis than that carrying the GG genotype (P<0.01), and the adjusted OR was 2.33 (95%CI 1.27-4.33). In addition, individuals with the CYP19A1 rs2899470 the TT genotype aggravated the condition of endometriosis (OR=2.27, 95%CI 1.05-4.90). However, GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 rs1695 polymorphisms did not affect the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Conclusion: Our results suggested that CYP19A1 rs2899470 polymorphism is associated with the risk of endometriosis and the risk of disease.

Abstract
As the most important phase in standardization activity, implementation saves as the essence. CDC in China are the major institutions undertaking disease control and prevention. Implementing the standards of public health provides technical basis for CDC to complete the task of disease control and prevention. In the study, spot conversation and questionnaire were used to investigate the implementation of standards on public health in CDC. Results showed that the staff of CDC got to know the standards through the Internet. The departments of CDC which conducted training and sent staff to attend training courses accounted for 50.00%(25/50) and 34.00%(17/50), respectively. State mandatory rule is still the main reason for relevant departments to implement the standards of the public health. Government promotion activities facilitate the implementation of Standards, and the degree of familiarity with Standards affects the implementation as well. The paper summarizes the existing problems, such as the lack of coordination between departments of public health at provincial level or below, lack of access to standards, and the need to strengthen the training of the standard implementation etc. It puts forward some suggestions to strengthen the implementation of public health Standards.

Abstract
Background Improved treatments resulting in a rising number of survivors of breast cancer (bca) calls for optimization of current specialist-based follow-up care. In the present study, we evaluated well survivors of bca with respect to their supportive care needs and attitudes toward follow-up with various care providers, in varying settings, or mediated by technology (for example, videoconference or e-mail). Methods A cross-sectional paper survey of well survivors of early-stage pT1-2N0 bca undergoing posttreatment follow-up was completed. Descriptive and univariable logistic regression analyses were performed to examine associations between survivor characteristics, supportive care needs, and perceived satisfaction with follow-up options. Qualitative responses were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Results The 190 well survivors of bca who participated (79% response rate) had an average age of 63 ± 10 years. Median time since first follow-up was 21 months. Most had high perceived satisfaction with in-person specialist care (96%, 177 of 185). The second most accepted model was shared care involving specialist and primary care provider follow-up (54%, 102 of 190). Other models received less than 50% perceived satisfaction. Factors associated with higher perceived satisfaction with non-specialist care or virtual follow-up by a specialist included less formal education (p < 0.01) and more met supportive care needs (p < 0.05). Concerns with virtual follow-up included the perceived impersonal nature of virtual care, potential for inadequate care, and confidentiality. Conclusions Well survivors of bca want specialists involved in their follow-up care. Compared with virtual follow-up, in-person follow-up is perceived as more reassuring. Certain survivor characteristics (for example, met supportive care needs) might signal survivor readiness for virtual or non-specialist follow-up. Future work should examine multi-stakeholder perspectives about barriers to and facilitators of shared multimodal follow-up care.

Abstract
Objective: To study the nutritional status and energy metabolic characteristics of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and to provide evidence for clinical evaluation and intervention. Methods: A total of 359 NAFLD patients diagnosed on ultrasound from June 2015 to March 2017 were selected as study subjects and divided into mild, moderate to severe fatty liver disease group and 50 healthy subjects as control group. The changes of ICW, ECW, body fat, skeletal muscle, protein and visceral fat area (VFA) of patients and controls were analyzed by using body composition analyzer. The energy metabolism index was measured by the oxidation rate of resting energy expenditure(REE), respiratory quotient (RQ), and the oxidation rates of the three nutrients (CHO %, FAT %, and PRO %). According to different types of data, non-parametric tests like Kruskal-Wallis or χ(2) were used for this analysis. Results: Compared with the mild fatty liver group and the control group, the moderate and severe fatty liver group the BMI, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio were significantly elevated (P-value < 0.001), and their serum alanine aminotransferase, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, FBS levels were significantly increased (P value < 0.05). The Body composition analysis showed that there was no significant difference in skeletal muscle content between the three groups (P = 0.067). The ICW, ECW, protein, body fat content of moderate and severe fatty liver group were significantly higher than those of mild fatty liver group and control group (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between the mild fatty liver group and the control group. There was significant difference in the VFA between the three groups, while VFA in the moderate and severe fatty liver group was significantly increased. Metabolic results showed that the RQ of patients with moderate-severe fatty liver and mild fatty liver were 0.72 ± 0.08 and 0.78 ± 0.06, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (0.80 ± 0.02), P = 0.004. Resting energy expenditure (REE) was not significantly different between moderate and severe fatty liver group and mild fatty liver group (P = 0.207), but both were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.001). The percentages of CHO, FAT and PRO in moderate and severe fatty liver group were 19.49% ± 9.71%, 66.23% ± 12.54% and 14.22% ± 6.11% respectively. Compared with the control group, CHO % decreased, and FAT % increased. Conclusion: NAFLD patients have different extent of nutritional imbalance and energy metabolism disorders, the use of Body Composition analyzer and metabolic cart can comprehensively assess and monitor NAFLD patient's nutrition and energy metabolism status, to provide a basis for clinical intervention.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the functions of FABP5 in the carcinogenesis and development of cervical cancer. Methods: The expression of FABP5 was detected in several cervical cancer cell lines (C33A, Siha, Caski, HeLa and HCC94), 206 cases of cervical cancer tissues with stage Ⅰa2-Ⅱa2 and 40 cases of normal cervical tissues by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Then, the cells were infected with lentivirus-mediated siRNA-targeting FABP5. CCK-8 cell proliferation, colony formation, wound healing and transwell assays were used to investigate the effects of FABP5 on in vitro cell proliferation, migration and invasion. And in vivo xenograft model and lung metastasis model were used to observe the transplanted tumor growth and metastasis in female athymic nude mice. Furthermore, the total protein and RNA were extracted from the primary xenografts to determine the expression levels of FABP5, metalloproteinase-2 and metalloproteinase-9 using Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results: FABP5 expression was found to be significantly unregulated in cervical cancer tissues than that in normal cervical tissues (P<0.05). Compared with the Siha-NC group and uninfected group, the expression of FABP5 mRNA and protein in Siha-FABP5-RNAi group was significantly inhibited along with the decrease of cell proliferation, colony formation, wound healing and invasion ability. The clone formation rates of Siha cells in uninfected group, Siha-NC group and Siha-FABP5-RNAi group were (84.6±4.5)%, (84.6±5.1)% and (21.2±2.6)%, respectively. Moreover, the transwell assay showed that invasive cells in three groups were (72.8±4.7)/HPF, (72.6±3.3)/HPF and (21.4±2.3)/HPF, respectively. All of the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Furthermore, FABP5 silencing significantly reduced tumor growth and lung metastases in nude mice in vivo (P<0.001). The subcutaneously xenografted volume in uninfected group, Siha-NC group and Siha-FABP5-RNAi group was (921.4±63.0) mm(3,) (1 021.4±56.0) mm(3) and (139.6±36.0) mm(3,) respectively. The real-time quantitative PCR results showed that the relative expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA were 1.00±0.10 and 1.00±0.10, 1.00±0.10 and 1.00±0.10 as well as 0.34±0.13 and 0.38±0.17 in xenografted tumor tissues of uninfected group, Siha-NC group and Siha-FABP5-RNAi group, respectively. MMP-2 and MMP-9 was significantly downregulated after FABP5 inhibition(P<0.05). Additionally, the protein expression trend of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in three groups was consistent with the mRNA levels. Conclusion: FABP5 might promote the carcinogenesis and metastasis of cervical cancer via up-regulating MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the association of change in RHR (ΔRHR) and incident T2DM is not fully elucidated. We aimed to assess the dose-response association between 6-year ΔRHR and T2DM. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 12155 non-T2DM participants ≥18 years old were enrolled during 2007-2008 and followed up during 2013-2014. ΔRHR was calculated by subtracting the baseline RHR from the RHR value at 6-year follow-up. Age-, sex-, and RHR-specific relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the effect of ΔRHR on incident T2DM were calculated by using modified Poisson regression models. As compared with ΔRHR of 0 beats/min, the adjusted risk of T2DM was significantly increased with RHR increment and reduced with RHR reduction. ΔRHR was positively associated with future risk of T2DM [RR per unit increase: 1.03 (1.03-1.04)]. As compared with stable change in RHR group (-5<ΔRHR<5 beats/min), for ΔRHR ≤ -10 beats/min, -10<ΔRHR ≤ -5 beats/min, 5≤ΔRHR<10 beats/min, and ΔRHR ≥10 beats/min groups, the pooled adjusted RR (95% CI) of T2DM was 0.69 (0.55-0.86), 0.90 (0.73-1.11), 1.31 (1.07-1.61), and 1.90 (1.59-2.26), respectively. This significant association still existed on subgroup analyses based on age, sex, and baseline RHR and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic RHR change was significantly associated with incident T2DM. Our study suggests that RHR may be a non-invasive clinical indicator for interventions aiming to reduce incident T2DM in the general population.

Abstract
Species of Sporocadaceae are endophytic, plant pathogenic or saprobic, and associated with a wide range of host plants. Recent molecular studies that have attempted to address familial and generic boundaries of fungi belonging to Sporocadaceae were based on a limited number of samples and DNA loci. The taxonomy of this group of fungi is therefore still not fully resolved. The aim of the present study is to provide a natural classification for the Sporocadaceae based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses, using LSU, ITS, tef-1α, tub2 and rpb2 loci, in combination with morphological data. A total of 30 well-supported monophyletic clades in Sporocadaceae are recognised, representing 23 known and seven new genera. Typifications are proposed for the type species of five genera (Diploceras, Discosia, Monochaetia, Sporocadus and Truncatella) to stabilise the application of these names. Furthermore, Neotruncatella and Dyrithiopsis are synonymised under Hymenopleella, and the generic circumscriptions of Diploceras, Disaeta, Hymenopleella, Monochaetia, Morinia, Pseudopestalotiopsis, Sarcostroma, Seimatosporium, Synnemapestaloides and Truncatella are emended. A total of 51 new species, one nomina nova and 15 combinations are introduced.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the imaging features of metanephric adenoma (MA) and their pathological correlation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The imaging findings in 11 patients with MA were studied retrospectively. Ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were studied in seven, 11, and six patients, respectively. The enhancement pattern, attenuation, lesion location, size, cystic or solid appearance, capsule sign, and presence of calcifications were evaluated. RESULTS On ultrasonography, MA presented as hypoechoic (4/7), slightly hyperechoic (1/7), isoechoic (2/7), and with a clear boundary. Unenhanced CT showed unclear boundaries (11/11), homogeneous isodensity (8/11), with calcification (1/11), necrosis (1/11), and heterogeneous hyperattenuation (1/11). Mean CT attenuation values on unenhanced and enhanced CT (cortical phase, corticomedullary phase, and excretory phase) were 38.87±6.66, 55.71±17.74, 67.77±16.86, and 65.62±15.99 HU, respectively. The degree of enhancement of the lesions in each phase was statistically significantly lower than that of the surrounding normal renal parenchyma (p=0.00). The pattern of enhancement of the solid component was slight and gradual enhancement (9/11). The tumour was located entirely within the renal medulla in nine cases, and two cases demonstrated an exophytic pattern. All tumours showed a clear boundary on enhanced CT, but capsules were not found. The mean greatest tumour diameter was 3.5 cm. MA showed markedly hyperintense on the diffusion-weighted MRI sequence (DWI) and delayed enhancement of the tumour capsule on enhanced MRI. CONCLUSIONS Imaging features of MA are usually solid and hypovascular, and show prolonged, and homogeneous mild enhancement that is less than that of the surrounding normal renal parenchyma in all phases. MA is markedly hyperintense on DWI.
