Abstract
ABSTRCTDysregulated HGF/c-Met pathway has been implicated in multiple human cancers and has become an attractive target for cancer intervention. Herein, we report the discovery of N-(3-fluoro-4-((2-(3-hydroxyazetidine-1-carboxamido)pyridin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxamide (LAH-1), which demonstrated nanomolar MET kinase activity as well as desirable antiproliferative activity, especially against EBC-1 cells. Mechanism studies confirmed the effects of LAH-1 on modulation of HGF/c-Met pathway, induction of cell apoptosis, inhibition on colony formation as well as cell migration and invasion. In addition, LAH-1 also showed desirable in vitro ADME properties as well as acceptable in vivo PK parameters. The design, synthesis, and characterisation of LAH-1 are described herein.

Abstract
The clinical data of 23 patients undergoing real-time echocardiography-guided infusion port implantation in the Breast Center of Tsinghua Changgung Hospital in Beijing from January to July 2021 were analyzed. The length of catheter insertion L1 was initially estimated using surface measurement method in all patients. Intraoperatively, transthoracic echocardiography was applied using the parasternal four-chamber view to visualize the catheter image within the right atrium, and the length of catheter insertion L2 was recorded under the guidance of echocardiography. Postoperatively, chest radiographs were taken in the upright position to observe the position of the catheter tip. According to chest CT scans, the ideal length (L) for catheter tip placement was calculated when it was located at the junction of superior vena cava and right atrium. Bland-Altman scatter plot analysis and linear regression fitting test were used on L1 and L2 respectively with L to evaluate the consistency. A total of 23 patients were included in this study, among which one case of left breast cancer patient undergoing breast-conserving surgery had difficulty in identifying the catheter tip position due to residual pleural effusion obscuring the imaging of the cardiac apex four-chamber view. In 22 patients, the results of intraoperative ultrasound imaging were good, including 1 case of catheter ectopic to azygos vein, and 21 cases of right atrial catheter could be detected by ultrasound. Statistical analysis showed that there was a good consistency between L1 and L, L2 and L, and the difference between them was d=0.28 cm (95%CI:-1.76-2.31 cm) and d=0.20 cm(95%CI:-0.84-1.23 cm), respectively, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). In the linear regression model, L2 and L had a higher fit than L1, and the difference was statistically significant (R²=0.954, P<0.001). This study found that real-time echocardiographic localization technique can be applied in adult port surgery to replace X-ray-guided real-time catheter tip detection and adjustment to the optimal position.

Abstract
Drugs with anti-platelet aggregation and neuroprotection are of great significance for the treatment of ischemic stroke. A series of edaravone and 6-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one hybrids were designed and synthesized. Among them, 6g showed the most effective cytoprotective effect against oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation-induced damage in BV2 cells and an excellent inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate and arachidonic acid. Additionally, 6g could prevent thrombosis caused by ferric chloride in rats and pose a lower risk of causing bleeding compared with aspirin. It provides better protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats compared with edaravone and alleviates the oxidative stress related to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion by increasing the GSH and SOD levels and decreasing the MDA concentration. Finally, molecular docking results showed that 6g probably acts on PDE3 A and plays an anti-platelet aggregation effect. Overall, 6g could be a potential candidate compound for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
In continuation of our program to search for novel potential anti-ischemic stroke agents, a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole and sulfoxide hybrids of phthalide derivatives was designed and synthesized in this study to evaluate their anti-ischemic stroke activity. Among them, compounds 5b, 5d, 5 l, and 5 m exhibited excellent inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and arachidonic acid (AA). In particular, compound 5b possessed considerable antithrombotic activity in animal models, as demonstrated by the effective alleviation of carrageenan-induced and FeCl3-induced thrombosis in tail and carotid arteries, respectively. Notably, intraperitoneal administration of compound 5b could better protect the brain from injury caused by ischemia/reperfusion in rats compared with precursor 3-n-butylphthalide. Further pharmacokinetics, liver microsomal stability, and PAMPA-BBB assays also indicated that compound 5b had relatively high bioavailability, metabolic stability, and BBB permeability. Moreover, compound 5b showed a safety profile that was superior to the clinical drugs clopidogrel, aspirin, and 3-n-butylphthalide in the mouse-tail bleeding assay. Finally, molecular docking predicted that the potential target of the antiplatelet aggregation activity of compound 5b was P2Y12 receptor. This research provides a novel candidate compound for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) and D3 resection of right colon cancer have been widely implemented, but the definition and identification of the completeness of the mesentery have not been fully agreed, especially the dorsal and medial borders. In this paper, we proposed the dorsal fascia of the colonic mesentery as the dorsal border of the mesocolon and the line connecting the roots of the ileocolic artery and the middle colic artery (ICA-MCA line) as the medial border of the CME by systematically studying the relationship between the mesentery and the mesenteric bed from the theory of membrane anatomy, combined with surgical experience and in-depth review of ontogenetic anatomy. We also proposed the visible "superior mesenteric vein notch" and "middle colic artery triangle" on surgical specimens as identifiers of mesocolic completeness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) level and the risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) recurrence in hypertensive patients. METHODS This retrospective case-control study was conducted among 211 hypertensive patients with AIS treated in Foshan First People's Hospital, including 35 patients with recurrence of AIS during the 1-year follow-up as confirmed by head CT/MR. In the overall patients, 60 had grade 1 hypertension (including 5 recurrent cases), 76 had grade 2 hypertension (with 11 recurrent cases), and 75 had grade 3 hypertension (with 19 recurrent cases). Univariate analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis, trend analysis, and smooth curve fitting analysis were performed to explore the correlation between serum Lp-PLA2 level within 24 h after admission and the risk of AIS recurrence. The predictive efficacy of serum Lp-PLA2 level for AIS recurrence in different hypertension grades was evaluated using ROC curve analysis. RESULTS Serum Lp-PLA2 level, age, NIHSS score at admission, mRS scores at 7 days, homocysteine level and smoking status differed significantly between patients with and without AIS recurrence (P < 0.05). After adjustment for confounding factors, multivariate regression analysis showed that the highest tertile of Lp-PLA2 level was associated with a 4.13-fold increase of AIS recurrence risk compared with the lowest tertile (OR=5.13, 95% CI: 1.35-19.40), and each 1 ng/mL increase of Lp-PLA2 level was associated with a 1% increase of AIS recurrence risk (OR= 1.01, 95% CI: 1.01-1.02). Serum Lp-PLA2 level was shown to positively correlate with AIS recurrence risk, and in patients with grade 3 hypertension, its areas under the ROC curve for predicting AIS recurrence was 0.869 with a specificity of 0.893 and a sensitivity of 0.737. CONCLUSION Serum Lp-PLA2 concentration is an independent risk factor and potentially an effective predictor for AIS recurrence in patients with grade 3 hypertension.

Abstract
PURPOSE Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is an autoimmune orbital disorder. Gut microbiota dysfunction plays a vital role in autoimmune diseases, including Graves' disease (GD) and GO. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the change of gut microbiota in GD/GO using mouse model. METHODS The murine model of GD/GO was established by the challenge of adenovirus expressing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TSHR) (Ad-TSHR). The histological changes of orbital and thyroid tissues were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Masson staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The fecal samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. RESULTS The GD/GO model was established successfully, as manifested as the broadened eyelid, exophthalmia and conjunctive redness, severe inflammatory infiltration among thyroid glands and between extraocular muscle space, hypertrophic extraocular muscles, elevated thyroxine (T4) and decreased TSH, and positive CD34, CD40, collagen I, and α-SMA staining. A total of 222 operational taxonomic units (OUTs) were overlapped between mice in the Ad-NC and Ad-TSHR groups. The microbial composition of the samples in the two groups was mainly Bacteroidia and Clostridia, and the Ad-NC group had a significantly lower content of Bacteroidia and higher content of Clostridia. KEGG orthology analysis results revealed differences in dehydrogenase, aspartic acid, bile acid, chalcone synthase, acetyltransferase, glutamylcyclotransferase, glycogenin, and 1-phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase between two groups; enzyme commission (EC) analysis results revealed differences in several dehydrogenase, oxidase, thioxy/reductase between two groups; MetaCyc pathways analysis results revealed differences in isoleucine degradation, oxidation of C1 compounds, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle IV, taurine degradation, and biosynthesis of paromamine, heme, colonic acid building blocks, butanediol, lysine/threonine/methionine, and histidine/purine/pyrimidine between two groups. CONCLUSION This study induced a mouse model of GD/GO by Ad-TSHR challenge, and gut microbiota characteristics were identified in the GD/GO mice. The Bacteroidia and Clostridia abundance was changed in the GD/GO mice. These findings may lay a solid experimental foundation for developing personalized treatment regimens for GD patients according to the individual gut microbiota. Given the potential impact of regional differences on intestinal microbiota, this study in China may provide a reference for the global overview of the gut-thyroid axis hypothesis.

Abstract
In order to find novel antiplatelet drugs for the treatment of ischemic stroke, a series of 3-butylphthalide derivatives containing isopentenylphenol moiety were designed, synthesized and characterized with spectroscopic analyses. The in vitro antiplatelet activity results indicated that compound 3 better inhibited the arachidonic acid (AA) induced platelet aggregation than aspirin (ASP) and 3-butylphthalide (NBP). Additionally, compared with precursor NBP, compound 3 possessed outstanding antithrombotic activity in the animal experiment model, which could effectively alleviate the formation of tail thrombus and carotid artery thrombus in mice. More importantly, intraperitoneal administration of compound 3 can well protected the rats against ischemia/reperfusion-induced brain injury. Further pharmacokinetic (PK) assay indicated that compound 3 had good absorption characteristics and metabolic stability in vivo. Overall, the present research provides a new candidate compound for the treatment of ischemic stroke caused by platelet aggregation.

Abstract
In this study, the data of pediatric diarrhea clinic of Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018 and Tianshui First Hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018 were collected. Standardized precipitation index (SPI) and meteorological drought composite index (MCI) were used as drought indicators. Quasi-Poisson generalized additive model was used to analyze the correlation between drought and pediatric diarrhea outpatient visits. During the study period, the dry days in Lanzhou city and Tianshui city were 298 and 379 days according to SPI-1, 303 and 398 days according to MCI, respectively. There were 57 147 and 18 703 cases of diarrhea in children aged 0-6 years in Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital and Tianshui First Hospital, respectively. MCI and SPI (SPI-1) based on monthly precipitation were negatively correlated with the number of pediatric diarrhea outpatients. Compared with the non-drought period, SPI-1 showed the strongest correlation between middle drought and pediatric diarrhea outpatients, with an increase of 13.4% (95%CI: 7.9%-19.3%) and 20.0% (95%CI: 12.7%-27.8%) in Lanzhou city and Tianshui city, respectively. According to MCI, the outpatients with diarrhea in Tianshui children increased by 60.5% (95%CI: 3.4%-149.0%) due to extreme drought.

Abstract
In order to find novel environment-friendly and effective antifungal agents, four series of 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromene derivatives were designed, synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The antifungal activities of all the target compounds against nine phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated in vitro. Preliminary results indicated that most of the target compounds exhibited obvious antifungal activity at the concentration of 50 μg/mL. Among them, compound 4j displayed more promising antifungal potency against Fusarium solani, Pyricularia oryzae, Alternaria brassicae, Valsa mali and Alternaria alternata strains than the two commercially available fungicides chlorothalonil and hymexazol, with the corresponding EC50 values of 6.3, 7.7, 7.1, 7.5, 4.0 μg/mL, respectively. Moreover, the cell experiments results suggested that the target compounds had low cytotoxicity to the PC12 cell. This research will provide theoretical basis for the future application of 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromenes as botanical fungicides in agriculture. Four series of novel, potent and low-toxicity 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromene derivatives were designed and synthesized as agricultural antifungal agents. The in vitro antifungal experiments showed that compound 4j exhibited higher antifungal efficacy against five strains than the two commercially-available fungicides chlorothalonil and hymexazol.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that periodontitis contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, few studies have examined the role of swallowing and saliva in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases. Saliva contains an enormous number of oral bacteria and is swallowed directly into the intestine. Here, we explored the influence of periodontitis salivary microbiota on colonic inflammation and possible mechanisms in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. The salivary microbiota was collected from healthy individuals and those with periodontitis and gavaged to C57BL/6 mice. Periodontitis colitis was induced by DSS for 5 d and ligature for 1 wk. The degree of colon inflammation was evaluated through hematoxylin and eosin staining, ELISA, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Immune parameters were measured with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. The gut microbiota and metabolome analyses were performed via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Although no significant colitis-associated phenotypic changes were found under physiologic conditions, periodontitis salivary microbiota exacerbated colitis in a periodontitis colitis model after DSS induction. The immune response more closely resembled the pathology of ulcerative colitis, including aggravated macrophage M2 polarization and Th2 cell induction (T helper 2). Inflammatory bowel disease-associated microbiota, such as Blautia, Helicobacter, and Ruminococcus, were changed in DSS-induced colitis after periodontitis salivary microbiota gavage. Periodontitis salivary microbiota decreased unsaturated fatty acid levels and increased arachidonic acid metabolism in DSS-induced colitis, which was positively correlated with Aerococcus and Ruminococcus, suggesting the key role of these metabolic events and microbes in the exacerbating effect of periodontitis salivary microbiota on experimental colitis. Our study demonstrated that periodontitis contributes to the pathogenesis of colitis through the swallowing of salivary microbiota, confirming the role of periodontitis in systemic disease and providing new insights into the etiology of gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Like other solid tumors, colon cancer surgery has undergone a century-old journey from lumpectomy to organ resection and then to lymphadenectomy. From the Toldt fascia to complete mesenteric resection, and from local resection to D3 radical treatment, local recurrence rates have been reduced, but remain a nuisance to surgeons and patients. Based on the theory of membrane anatomy, radical surgery for colon cancer will focus more on removing the mesocolon from the mesentery bed while maintaining the integrity of the posterior fascia to avoid the occurrence of "fifth metastasis" as much as possible. Thanks to the membrane anatomy theory, its strong reproducibility and replicability, a new phase of colorectal surgery is on the horizon.

Abstract
Ozone (O3) is a criteria air pollutant known to increase the morbidity and mortality of cardiopulmonary diseases. This occurs through a pulmonary inflammatory response characterized by increased recruitment of immune cells into the airspace, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and pro-inflammatory lipid mediators. Recent evidence has demonstrated sex-dependent differences in the O3-induced pulmonary inflammatory response. However, it is unknown if this dimorphic response is evident in pulmonary lipid mediator metabolism. We hypothesized that there are sex-dependent differences in lipid mediator production following acute O3 exposure. Male and female C57BL/6J mice were exposed to 1 part per million O3 for 3 hours and were necropsied at 6 or 24 hours following exposure. Lung lavage was collected for cell differential and total protein analysis, and lung tissue was collected for mRNA analysis, metabololipidomics, and immunohistochemistry. Compared to males, O3-exposed female mice had increases in airspace neutrophilia, neutrophil chemokine mRNA, pro-inflammatory eicosanoids such as prostaglandin E2, and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) such as resolvin D5 in lung tissue. Likewise, precursor fatty acids (arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid; DHA) were increased in female lung tissue following O3 exposure compared to males. Experiments with ovariectomized females revealed that loss of ovarian hormones exacerbates pulmonary inflammation and injury. However, eicosanoid and SPM production were not altered by ovariectomy despite depleted pulmonary DHA concentrations. Taken together, these data indicate that O3 drives an increased pulmonary inflammatory and bioactive lipid mediator response in females. Furthermore, ovariectomy increases susceptibility to O3-induced pulmonary inflammation and injury, as well as decreases pulmonary DHA concentrations.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that high-fat diet (HFD) may aggravate periodontitis, however the underlining mechanism remains to be further clarified. This study aims to explore whether HFD promotes periodontitis by inducing periodontal microbiota dysbiosis or stem cell dysfunction. A high-fat diet was given to four-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats for 12 weeks. Periodontitis was induced during the latter 4 weeks. At the end of the 12th week, samples were collected after euthanasia. Maxillae were harvested for histological or microbial analysis. The microbial 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed with the Illumina MiSeq platform. The data was analyzed through RDP Classifier against the SILVA database. The mandible molars were harvested for isolating periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). The protein level of p27, p21, and p16, which are negative regulators of the cell cycle, in PDLSCs were detected. Markers of osteogenic differentiation and pro-inflammatory mediators were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Activation of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways was detected by Western blotting. We found that HFD significantly increased ligature-induced alveolar bone loss. HFD resulted in a less diverse periodontal microbiota, with increased proportions of Lactococcus, Bacillus, Alloprevotella, Carnobacterium, and Exiguobacterium and decreased proportion of Nitrospira. HFD increased the protein levels of p27, p16, and p21, and upregulated the expression of osteogenic biomarkers, IL-1β and IL-10 with the ERK1/2 signaling pathway activated in PDLSCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, the regulatory mechanism of miR-22-3p/AKT3 in the development of Wilms' tumor (WT) was investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-seven pairs of surgical tumor specimens and adjacent normal tissues were obtained from Jining No. 1 People's Hospital. The expression level of miR-22-3p in WT tissues and cell lines was measured by quantitative RT-PCR. MTT and transwell assays were performed to analyze cell proliferation and invasion in WT. The relationship between miR-22-3p and AKT3 was verified by a Dual-Luciferase assay. The protein expression of AKT3 was evaluated by Western blotting analysis. RESULTS MiR-22-3p was downregulated and AKT3 was upregulated in WT. Functionally, overexpression of miR-22-3p inhibited cell proliferation and invasion in WT. Moreover, miR-22-3p directly targets AKT3. The knockdown of AKT3 suppressed cell proliferation and invasion in WT. In addition, upregulation of AKT3 restored the tumor suppressive effect of miR-22-3p in WT. CONCLUSIONS MiR-22-3p inhibits the proliferation and invasion of WT cells by downregulating AKT3, indicating that miR-22-3p may be developed as a new biomarker for the diagnosis of WT.

Abstract
In order to obtain novel botanical fungicides, three series of novel 6-substituted n-butyphthalide derivatives have been designed and synthesized via nucleophilic addition, reduction, nitrification, amination, sulfonation, Sandmeyer and Suzuki reaction. The mycelium growth rate method was used to evaluate the inhibition activity against eight phytopathogenic fungi in vitro. Preliminary bioassay tests showed that compounds 6f, 6n, 6p, 6r and 7a exhibited better activity for some fungi at 50 μg/mL than the positive drug hymexazol and lead compound n-butyphthalide (NBP). The preliminary structure-activity relationships indicated that the antifungal activity is significantly affected by the substituents on the benzene ring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and its mechanism, and to provide a certain reference for the clinical prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups using a random number table, including the Sham group (n=20), I/R group (n=20) and I/R + MALAT1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) group (n=20). An I/R model was established by means of recanalization after ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery of the rats. The rats in the I/R + MALAT1 siRNA group were used to establish a model of MALAT1 knockdown by injecting MALAT1 siRNA from the tail vein. The myocardial infarction area in each group was detected via 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. The ejection fraction% (EF%) and fractional shortening% (FS%) of the heart in each group were measured through echocardiography. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was adopted to determine the morphological changes in myocardial cells in each group. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to detect the apoptosis levels of myocardial cells and fibroblasts in the cardiac tissues in each group, and Western blotting assay was conducted to measure the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins [B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax)]. In addition, the content of β-catenin in the three groups of rats was determined via immunohistochemical staining. Finally, the impacts of MALAT1 siRNA on the expression level of β-catenin protein were detected using Western blotting assay. RESULTS MALAT1 siRNA could prominently ameliorate the I/R-induced cardiac insufficiency in the rats and improve the EF% and FS% of the heart (p<0.05). Moreover, MALAT1 siRNA was able to remarkably inhibit the I/R injury-induced myocardial infarction, reducing the infarction area from (59.54±3.45) to (24.85±1.30; p<0.05). The results of the H&E staining indicated that compared with those in the I/R group, the myofilaments of the myocardial cells were well-arranged, the degrees of degradation and necrosis of the myofilaments declined, and the cellular edema was relieved markedly in the I/R + MALAT1 siRNA group. It was shown in the results of immunohistochemistry and Western blotting that MALAT1 siRNA could notably reverse the I/R-induced up-regulation of β-catenin expression (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS MALAT1 knockdown can significantly ameliorate the I/R-induced myocardial injury and improve the cardiac function of the rats, whose mechanism is probably correlated with the inhibition of MALAT1 siRNA on β-catenin. Therefore, MALAT1 siRNA is expected to become a new target for the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore whether microRNA-579-3P was involved in the development of osteoporosis, and to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms. PATIENTS AND METHODS The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of microRNA-579-3P, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) in serum samples of osteoporosis patients and normal controls were detected by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), respectively. Meanwhile, the expressions of the above genes during osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were examined as well. To investigate the effect of microRNA-579-3P on osteogenesis, microRNA-579-3P was overexpressed and knocked down in hMSCs. Subsequently, the mRNA and protein expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes, such as ALP, RUNX2 and BSP, were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. In addition, ALP activity and mineralization forming ability were evaluated by ALP staining and alizarin red staining. Bioinformatics predicted that Sirt1 was the target gene of microRNA-579-3P. Subsequent luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the binding relationship of microRNA-579-3P to Sirt1. Meanwhile, qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the changes in the mRNA and protein expression levels of Sirt1, respectively. After overexpression of microRNA-579-3P and Sirt1, qRT-PCR, Western blot, ALP staining and alizarin red staining assays were performed to detect the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. RESULTS The expression of microRNA-579-3P in serum of patients with osteoporosis was significantly higher than that of normal controls. Meanwhile, the expression of microRNA-579-3P decreased gradually during osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Overexpression of microRNA-579-3P significantly reduced the expressions of osteogenic related genes, including ALP, RUNX2 and BSP. Besides, ALP activity and mineralized nodule formation ability decreased obviously as well. Luciferase reporter gene assay showed that microRNA-579-3P could bind to Sirt1. After overexpression of microRNA-579-3P, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Sirt1 were significantly reduced, which were reversed after silence of microRNA-579-3P. Simultaneous overexpression of microRNA-579-3P and Sirt1 could reverse the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs caused by overexpression of microRNA-579-3P alone. CONCLUSIONS MicroRNA-579-3P could inhibit osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs by regulating Sirt1, thereby promoting the development of osteoporosis.

Abstract
In order to discover novel potential antifungal agents, a series of 6-substituted 3-butylphthalide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antifungal activities against nine phytopathogenic fungi. Preliminary bioassay tests showed that five 3-butylphthalide derivatives exhibited more potent antifungal activities than hymexazol at the concentration of 50 μg/mL. Especially, 3-butyl-6-nitro-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one and 3-butyl-6-hydroxy-5-nitro-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one had significant fungicidal activity against some phytopathogenic fungi. The EC50 of 3-butyl-6-nitro-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one against FS, FO and FG were 6.6, 9.6 and 16.0 μg/mL, respectively. The EC50 of 3-butyl-6-hydroxy-5-nitro-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one against BC, PO, VM, SS and AS were 6.3, 5.9, 10.0, 4.5 and 8.4 μg/mL, respectively. The preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) of all target compounds were also investigated.

Abstract
Abstract Measurement of corpse temperature is mainly used for estimation of early postmortem interval, and rectal temperature is often used as a representative of body's core temperature in actual work because it is simple, quick and non-invasive. At present, the rectal temperature postmortem interval estimation method internationally accepted and widely used is HENSSGE's nomogram method, while many domestic scholars also deduced their own regression equations through a large number of case data. Estimation of postmortem interval based on rectal temperature still needs further study. The nomogram method needs to be optimized and extended, and quantification of its influencing factors needs to be dealt with more scientifically. There is still a lack of consensus on the probability and duration of the temperature plateau. There is no clear understanding of the probability and extent of the change in initial temperature caused by various causes. New methods and ideas enrich methodological research, but it still lacks systemicity and practicality. This article reviews the researches on estimation of postmortem interval based on rectal temperature in order to summarize the current situation of previous researches and seek new breakthrough points. Because the decline of body temperature can be easily influenced by many factors in vitro and vivo, and the influencing factors in different regions vary greatly, regionalization research and application may be a practical exploration to improve the accuracy of postmortem interval determination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Perlecan, which is also called heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2), is a protein encoded by the HSPG2 gene that maps to 1p36.12 in the human genome. In this study, we assessed the independent prognostic value of HSPG2 in terms of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with LGG. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted by using data in the Cancer Genome Atlas-Low Grade Glioma (TCGA-LGG). RESULTS Increased HSPG2 expression was an independent prognostic indicator of poor OS in oligoastrocytoma (HR: 1.644, 95% CI: 1.116-2.423, p = 0.012) and in oligodendroglioma (HR: 1.459, 95% CI: 1.138-1.871, p = 0.003). In addition, increased HSPG2 expression independently predicted poor RFS in oligodendroglioma (HR: 1.402, 95% CI: 1.110-1.770, p = 0.005). Furthermore, we observed that high HSPG2 expression was associated with significantly shorter OS and RFS in oligodendroglioma, no matter the patients received radiotherapy or not. Using copy number alterations (CNAs) and DNA methylation data in TCGA-LGG, we found that DNA copy deletion was generally associated with decreased HSPG2 expression. Regression analysis suggested a weak negative correlation between HSPG2 expression and HSPG2 DNA methylation (Pearson's r = -0.388). CONCLUSIONS Increased HSPG2 expression could independently predict poor OS in oligoastrocytoma and oligodendroglioma and also independently predicted poor RFS in oligodendroglioma. Its expression is modulated by both DNA copy number and DNA methylation in oligodendroglioma.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta (PPARD) is a nuclear receptor transcription factor whose single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), especially PPARD-87 T>C (rs2016520), may play an important role in expression regulation of PPARD. But its expression patterns as well as contribution in colorectal cancer (CRC) are still controversial. In this study, whether the intratumoral heterogeneity of polymorphism of PPARD-87 T>C (rs2016520) existed and its influence in CRC were investigated. Tumor masses from primary CRC patients were collected during the operation of tumorectomy, specimens at the different sites of the same tumor mass were sampled and stored individually. The SNP of PPARD-87 T>C was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and the expression of PPARD in vivo was observed by immunohistochemistry. The correlation of PPARD -87 T>C intratumoral polymorphism and the clinicopathological parameters of patients was analyzed statistically. Tumor samples were collected from 106 CRC patients (70 males and 36 females) with an average age of 61.04±13.67 years. A total number of 808 samples (7.60±1.60 per patient) were mainly harvested at peripheral superficial (n=376), central superficial (n=163), invasive front (n=112) and mesenteric cancer foci (n=42) of tumor tissues as well as cancerous adjacent mucosa (n=104). PCR-RFLP analysis showed that T/T (n=460, 56.9%) and T/C (n=334, 41.3%) were the main genotypes of -87 T>C among these samples. Furthermore, intratumoral genotype of -87 T>C was homogeneous in 90 patients and heterogeneous in other 16 patients. The intratumoral heterogeneity was related to patients' age (P=0.016), tumor location (P=0.011) and the grade of differentiation (P=0.022). For patients with intratumoral heterogeneity, immunochemistry showed the expressions of PPARD were not influenced by T/T or T/C genotypes. Intratumoral heterogeneity of PPARD-87 T>C wildly existed in CRC, and associated with patients' age, tumor location and differentiation. However, the immunochemistry assay revealed that there's no significant link between heterogeneity and expression of PPARD.

Abstract
Abstract Objective To discuss the methods and strategies to identify the causes of dependents' deaths, as well as provide the experiences that can be used for reference and scientific basis for the forensic identification of the potentially growing deaths of the same kind in the future. Methods The 13 cases concerning death of dependents accepted by Sun Yat-sen University Forensic Center were collected, and the basic information of the dependents were statistically described. The nutritional status, environmental condition and medical care condition were evaluated according to dietary energy, living space, environment and medical treatment condition. Results Among the 13 dependents, there were 11 males and 2 females, with the oldest 74 and the youngest 9 and dwelling time was from 0.4 to 5.6 years. Forensic pathological examination showed that 13 dependents had infectious diseases and 11 were severely dystrophic. There were no fatal mechanical injuries or poisoning in dependents. Molecular pathological screening of 4 cases revealed no pathogenic variants of sudden death susceptible genes. The poor status of the diet, nutrition, living environment and medical care of these dependents were discovered. The direct cause of death of all 13 dependents was identified to be disease. The lack of nutrition, poor living environment and lack of medical care were thought to play a dominant role in causing the deaths of 12 dependants. Conclusion The death identification should follow the judicial procedure. In identification of the causes of death and analysis of the proportion of the affecting factors resulting in death, all factors, including nutrition,environment, medical care, injury and diseases, need to be considered.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the repair methods and effects of the complex wounds on hands after burns or trauma. Methods: From January 2008 to December 2017, 45 patients (28 males and 17 females, aging 8 to 58 years) with severe hand injuries after burns or trauma combined with deep tissue exposure were admitted to our hospital. Two patients had whole-fingers degloving injuries, 27 patients had dorsal hand injuries, and 16 patients had palmar injuries. After debridement, the area of soft tissue defects was 7 cm×6 cm to 19 cm×12 cm combined with 0.5 cm×0.4 cm to 10.0 cm×4.0 cm of single deep tissue exposure. Different repairing methods were adopted according to the area and location of deep tissue exposure. Five patients with small area exposure were treated with artificial dermis+ vacuum sealing drainage (VSD)+ autogenous skin grafting. Thirty-eight patients with unilateral large area exposure on palm or dorsum were treated with segmented ligation of abdominal thin flaps (with area of 8 cm×7 cm to 15 cm×9 cm). Two patients with bilateral large area exposure in dorsal and palmar hands were treated with modified abdominal bag-shaped delayed thin flaps (with area of 12 cm×5 cm to 12 cm×9 cm and 12 cm×6 cm to 14 cm×9 cm). The donor sites were directly sutured or repaired with intermediate split-thickness skin or adjacent flap. The survival of grafts and flaps was observed, number of operations, wound healing time, and follow-up were recorded. Results: (1) Among the patients receiving artificial dermis+ VSD+ autogenous skin grafting, the wounds of 3 patients were healed after 2 operations, and 2 patients had artificial dermis infection and lysis, and tendon necrosis, which were healed after 3 operations. The wound healing time of 5 patients was 14 to 33 days post injury. During the follow-up of 3 months, the affected hands were in good shape with soft texture and fewer scars, and functional evaluation of hand was good in 3 cases and modest in 2 cases. (2) The patients receiving segmented ligation of abdominal thin flaps all underwent 2 operations without flap necrosis. The wound healing time was 2 to 3 weeks post injury. Thirty-five patients underwent one to six-years' follow-up, which showed that the flaps were in good shape and color with soft texture, and the functional evaluation of hand was excellent in 25 cases, good in 7 cases, and modest in 3 cases. Three patients were lost to follow-up. (3) In the 2 patients receiving modified abdominal bag-shaped delayed thin flaps, all flaps survived after 5 operations, the wounds were healed on post injury day 22 and 24 respectively, the shape and texture of the affected hands was good with no bloated appearance after separating fingers and revision. During the follow-up of 2 years, the functional evaluation of hand was good in 2 cases. Conclusions: For the complex wounds on hands after burns or trauma, if the area of deep tissue exposure is small, artificial dermis+ VSD+ autogenous skin grafting should be adopted, which has good effects. If the area of unilateral deep tissue exposure is large, segmented ligation of abdominal thin flap should be adopted; if the area of bilateral deep tissue exposure is large, modified abdominal bag-shaped delayed thin flap should be adopted. These methods can reduce the number of operations, shorten wound healing time, and obtain good shape and function of hands.

Abstract
Objiective: To evaluate the prognosis of visual function and the impact of surgery in pediatric patients with sellar mass lesions, as evidenced by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and visual evoked potentials. Methods: Twenty patients with sellar mass lesions were included in the study. DTI and visual evoked potentials were obtained before and after surgery. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were calculated for both optic nerves. DTI parameters and visual evoked potential amplitudes were compared for all patients to assess the correlation between DTI parameters and visual function. Results: The 20 patients were divided into two groups according the relationship between the lesions and the optic chiasm. The FA values increased significantly after operation, while the ADC values decreased (P<0.05). And the average amplitude of visual evoked potentials after operation was significantly higher than before operation (P<0.05). Conclusions: DTI assessments of the affected sides, with the resulting FA and ADC values, may help to estimate the visual improvement produced by surgical therapy in the early postoperative period. Surgical removal can improve visual function dramatically.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the pollution characteristics and assess the pollution health risks of heavy metals in atmospheric PM(2.5) in Lanzhou. Methods: According to the regional characteristics of air pollution and industrial distribution characteristics in Lanzhou, atmospheric PM(2.5) was sampled monthly in Chengguan and Xigu Districts from January, 2015 to December, 2016. Detected the concentration of PM(2.5) and 12 kinds of elements (Sb, Al, As, Be, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Mn, Ni, Se and Tl) by weighing method and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index were used to describe the pollution characteristics, while health risk assessment was conducted using the recommended United States Environmental Protection Agency (USA EPA) model. The health risks of non-carcinogens were evaluated by non-cancer hazard quotient (HQ), the non-carcinogenic risk was considered to be negligible when HQ<1, HQ>1 meant a health risk. With a single contaminant cancer Risk value to evaluate the health risks of carcinogens, when the Risk value between 10(-6) to10(-4) as an acceptable level. Results: The daily average concentrations of PM(2.5) was 83.0 μg/m(3), 77.0 μg/m(3) in Chengguan and Xigu Districts, respectively, during the sampling periods, and the concentration of PM(2.5) in winter/spring was higher than summer/fall in both districts. The concentration of Al in PM(2.5) was the highest and other elements in descending order: Pb, Mn, As, Sb/Cd, Tl in both districts. Enrichment factor results showed that Al and Mn were mainly affected by natural factors, the rest of five elements were all typical man-made pollution elements and according to geo-accumulation index pollution level of Cd was the strongest in the winter. The results of health risk assessment showed that Mn had the highest non-cancer risks (HQ>1) and affected the health of the children seriously. HQ reached up to 2.44 and 1.79 in Chengguan and Xigu Districts, respectively. Pb, As, Sb, Cd had slight health impact (HQ<1), could be negligible. The cancer risks range of As, Cr were 6.33×10(-6) to 6.46×10(-5) between the acceptable level of risk (10(-6) to 10(-4)), which indicated that As and Cd had potential cancer-risks. Conclusions: The pollution level of atmospheric PM(2.5) and the heavy metals in it was still grim;the non-cancer risks caused by multiple metals on children deserved attention. Although the cancer risks of As and Cd were between the acceptable level of risk, the potential cancer risk still shall not be ignored.

Abstract
Objective:To explore the effect of individualized multi-compound sound therapy on chronic subjective tinnitus and the relationship between tinnitus frequency," notch " hearing loss and the treatment effect of sound therapy.Method: Seventy-eight cases of chronic subjective tinnitus with the pure tone test threshold (PTA)in normal range (≤25 dB HL)were enrolled in this study. Their hearing threshold were re-evaluated using the precise pure-tone audiogram (P-PTA).Tinnitus was evaluated on pitch and loudness matching, and the effectiveness of tinnitus was measured using Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) before they received the individualized customized multi-compound sound therapy for 3 months. THI were re-evaluated on the 30th day and 90th day after treatment.Result: ①The averaged THI score of these patients before the sound treatment was 24.62±15.65 (n=78). The score dropped significantly to 15.82±13.02 and 13.62 ±10.98 on the 30th day and 90th day after treatment, respectively (P<0.01). ②Patient' s gender, age, and the side of tinnitus has no effect on the sound treatment of tinnitus. ③Of these 78 tinnitus patients, 31 patients who showed "notch " hearing loss and 47 patients without "notch " hearing loss in the P-PTA. The averaged THI score between the patients with and without "notch " showed no statistical difference after the treatment (P>0.05).These data suggested that "notch " hearing loss in P-PTA has no effect on the sound therapy.④Of 31 tinnitus patients with "notch " hearing loss, the tinnitus frequency of 22 cases was at the "notch " hearing loss and that of 9 cases was not at the "notch " hearing loss. Sound treatment showed significant between the former and the latter(P<0.05). After 30 days of treatment, tinnitus frequency of four patients whose tinnitus was not at the notch hearing loss drifted to the "notch " hearing loss frequency. Conclusion: Customized multi-compound sound therapy can reduce the THI score of chronic subjective tinnitus patients.The treatment reduced patient's anxiety and improved their quality of life.Sound treatment showed a better improvement in the patients whose tinnitus frequency was located at their notch hearing loss.

Abstract
Sparganosis mansoni is a parasitic disease caused by the larva of Spirometra mansoni, which occurs worldwide, especially in Asian countries. In recent years, there have been cases of sparganosis reported in Guizhou province in southwest China. In this report, a case of sparganosis mansoni with a painful mass in perineal region is presented. The patient is a 49-year-old Chinese woman, she did not have a history of eating raw frogs or snakes. But she drank unboiled water from rivers and streams. Physical examination showed her vital signs were stable and blood routine examination was also regular. After surgery to remove the mass, a worm was removed from the foreign matter, which measured about 10 cm in length and 2 mm in diameter, that was identified as S. mansoni. One week after the operation, her symptoms changed significantly. To our knowledge, this is the first case of perineal sparganosis mansoni in Guizhou. Surgical removal is effective for the treatment of perineal sparganosis, followed by a course of therapy.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism that regulates pre-implantation development of the yak (Bos grunniens). We determined the transcriptomes of in vitro-produced yak embryos at two-cell, four-cell, eight-cell stages, and morula and blastocyst using the Illumina RNA-seq for the first time. We obtained 47.36-50.86 million clean reads for each stage, of which, 85.65%-90.02% reads were covered in the reference genome. A total of 17,368 genes were expressed during the two-cell stage to blastocyst of the yak, of which 7,236 genes were co-expressed at all stages, whereas 10,132 genes were stage-specific expression. Transcripts from 9,827 to 14,893 different genes were detected in various developmental stages. When |log2 ratio| ≥ 1 and q-value <0.05 were set as thresholds for identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we detected a total of 6,922-10,555 DEGs between any two consecutive stages. The GO distributions of these DEGs were classified into three categories: biological processes (23 terms), cellular components (22 terms) and molecular functions (22 terms). Pathway analysis revealed 310 pathways of the DEGs that were operative in early pre-implantation yak development, of which 32 were the significantly enriched pathways. In conclusion, this is the first report to investigate the mechanism that regulates yak embryonic development using high-throughput sequencing, which provides a comprehensive framework of transcriptome landscapes of yak pre-implantation embryos.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the genetic variation sites of caveolin (CAV) and their correlation with sudden unexplained death (SUD). METHODS The blood samples were collected from SUD group (71 cases), coronary artery disease (CAD) group (62 cases) and control group (60 cases), respectively. The genome DNA were extracted and sequencing was performed directly by amplifying gene coding region and exon-intron splicing region of CAV1 and CAV3 using PCR. The type of heritable variation of CVA was confirmed and statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 4 variation sites that maybe significative were identified in SUD group, and two were newfound which were CAV1: c.45C>T (T15T) and CAV1:c.512G>A (R171H), and two were SNP loci which were CAV1:c.246C>T (rs35242077) and CAV3:c.99C>T (rs1008642) and had significant difference (P<0.05) in allele and genotype frequencies between SUD and control groups. Forementioned variation sites were not found in CAD group. CONCLUSIONS The variants of CAV1 and CAV3 may be correlated with a part of SUD group.

Abstract
Porcine teschoviruses (PTVs) have been shown to be widely distributed in pig populations. In this study, 261 faecal and 91 intestinal content samples collected from pigs at 29 farms in Hunan, China, were tested for the presence of PTV by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). An overall PTV-positivity rate of 19.03% was detected by RT-PCR, and a high PTV infection rate was circulating in asymptomatic fattening and nursery pigs. In total, 40 PTV isolates (PTV-HuNs) were obtained. Alignment of their coding sequences with those of other known PTVs revealed that the genomic sequence of the polyprotein contains 6,606-6,621 nucleotides, encoding a 2,202-2,207-amino acid sequence. Phylogenetic analyses based on the VP1 gene and capsid protein gene exhibited 13 main lineages corresponding to PTV serotypes 1-13, and seven PTV serotypes (PTV 2-6, 9, and 11) were identified in the isolates obtained in our study; this is the first report of PTV 5, 9 and 11 in China. Recombination analysis among the PTV-HuNs indicated that nine recombination events have occurred, including both inter- and intraserotype events. In addition, results demonstrated that only limited positive selection is acting on the global population of PTV isolates, and purifying selection is predominant. In conclusion, this study revealed a high infection rate of PTVs circulating in asymptomatic fattening and nursery pigs. The 40 PTV-HuNs showed high genetic diversity, and genetic analysis of all available PTV sequences revealed that strong purifying selection and recombination play important roles in the genetic diversity and evolution of the virus.
