Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) is widely used in diagnosing small-bowel Crohn's disease (CD). However, CD misdiagnosis frequently occurs if inexperienced endoscopists cannot accurately detect the lesions. The CD evaluation may also be inaccurate owing to the subjectivity of endoscopists. This study aimed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to accurately detect and objectively assess small-bowel CD for more refined disease management. METHODS We collected 28,155 small-bowel DBE images from 628 patients from January 2018 to December 2022. Four expert gastroenterologists labeled the images, and at least 2 endoscopists made the final decision with agreement. A state-of-the-art deep learning model, EfficientNet-b5, was trained to detect CD lesions and evaluate CD ulcers. The detection included lesions of ulcer, noninflammatory stenosis, and inflammatory stenosis. Ulcer grading included ulcerated surface, ulcer size, and ulcer depth. A comparison of AI model performance with endoscopists was performed. RESULTS The EfficientNet-b5 achieved high accuracies of 96.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 95.7%-96.7%), 95.7% (95% CI, 95.1%-96.2%), and 96.7% (95% CI, 96.2%-97.2%) for the detection of ulcers, noninflammatory stenosis, and inflammatory stenosis, respectively. In ulcer grading, the EfficientNet-b5 exhibited average accuracies of 87.3% (95% CI, 84.6%-89.6%) for grading the ulcerated surface, 87.8% (95% CI, 85.0%-90.2%) for grading the size of ulcers, and 85.2% (95% CI, 83.2%-87.0%) for ulcer depth assessment. CONCLUSIONS The EfficientNet-b5 achieved high accuracy in detecting CD lesions and grading CD ulcers. The AI model can provide expert-level accuracy and objective evaluation of small-bowel CD to optimize the clinical treatment plans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When unintentional pancreatic duct access occurs during difficult biliary cannulation, the double guidewire (DGW) or transpancreatic sphincterotomy (TPS) may be utilized. DGW can be easily switched to TPS due to the existing guidewire in the pancreatic duct. However, the efficacy of TPS after DGW, named sequential DGW-TPS technique, versus primary TPS has not been assessed. AIMS Our aim was to compare the benefits and adverse events of sequential DGW-TPS technique and primary TPS. METHODS We performed a comparative retrospective cohort study that enrolled a total of 117 patients with native papillae. The patients were divided into one of 2 groups according to the primary bile duct access technique (sequential DGW-TPS or primary TPS), both with pancreatic stenting. RESULTS Between November 2017 and May 2023, a total of 84 patients were grouped into sequential DGW-TPS and 33 into primary TPS. The overall post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) rate was 4.3% in the entire cohort, with no statistical differences were observed between the groups in terms of PEP rates (P = 0.927), PEP severity (P = 1.000), first biliary cannulation success (P = 0.621), overall cannulation success (P = 1.000), hyperamylasemia incidence (P = 0.241), elevated amylase levels (P = 0.881), and postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.185). Furthermore, these results remained consistent in multivariable regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS The sequential DGW-TPS technique showed a comparable safety and biliary cannulation success rate to primary TPS in difficult biliary cannulation. Given the potential long-term complications associated with TPS, DGW should be first if inadvertent pancreatic access occurs, with TPS serving as second only if DGW fails.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the prognostic value of the composite posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early Computed tomography (CT) Score (ASPECTS)-Collaterals (pcASCO) score, which combines diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) posterior circulation ASPECTS (pcASPECTS) and the magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)-collateral circulation score at baseline among patients with acute posterior circulation ischaemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with acute posterior circulation ischaemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy were analysed retrospectively. The DWI-pcASPECTS and MRA-collateral circulation score before treatment and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days after treatment were used as the endpoints. An mRS ≤2 was defined as a good prognosis, and an mRS ≥3 was defined as a poor prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyse independent predictors of functional outcome 90 days after mechanical thrombectomy. RESULTS Mechanical thrombectomy was performed in 57 patients; 38 patients had a good prognosis, 19 patients had a poor prognosis, and 33 patients were successfully recanalised. Univariate logistic regression found that National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (OR: 1.18, p<0.001), pcASPECTS (OR: 1.91, p=0.028) and pcASCO score (OR: 0.51, p=0.001) were factors of good functional outcome. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis showed that the diagnostic efficiency of the NIHSS and pcASCO was better (AUC = 0.88, 0.83, p<0.05) than that of the pcASPECTS (AUC = 0.65). The prediction model was established by age, NIHSS, and pcASCO, and the diagnostic efficiency of the prediction model was better (AUC = 0.94). CONCLUSIONS The composite MR-pcASCO score can be used as an important predictor of the prognosis of patients with acute posterior circulation ischaemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy.

Abstract
Background The relative prognostic importance of handgrip strength (HGS) in comparison with other risk factors for mortality remains to be further clarified, and thresholds used for best identify high-risk individuals in health screening are not yet established. Using machine learning and nationally representative data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), the study aimed to investigate the prognostic importance of HGS and establish sex-specific thresholds for health screening. Methods A total of 6,762 participants from CHARLS were enrolled. A random forest model was built using 30 variables with all-cause mortality as outcome. SHapley Additive exPlanation values were applied to explain the model. Cox proportional hazard models and Harrell's C index change were used to validate the clinical importance of the thresholds. Results Among the participants, 3,102 (45.9%) were men, and 622 (9.1%) case of death were documented follow-up period of 6.78 years. The random forest model identified HGS as the fifth important prognostic variable, with thresholds for identifying high-risk individuals were < 32 kg in men and < 19 kg in women. Low HGS were associated with all-cause mortality [HR (95% CI): 1.77 (1.49-2.11), p < 0.001]. The addition of HGS thresholds improved the predictive ability of an established office-based risk score (C-index change: 0.022, p < 0.001). Conclusion On the basis of our thresholds, low HGS predicted all-cause mortality better than other risk factors and improved prediction of a traditional office-based risk score. These results reinforced the clinical utility of measurement of HGS in health screening.

Abstract
Objective Although Leflunomide (LEF) is effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), there are still a considerable number of patients who respond poorly to LEF treatment. Till date, few LEF efficacy-predicting biomarkers have been identified. Herein, we explored and developed a DNA methylation-based predictive model for LEF-treated RA patient prognosis. Methods Two hundred forty-five RA patients were prospectively enrolled from four participating study centers. A whole-genome DNA methylation profiling was conducted to identify LEF-related response signatures via comparison of 40 samples using Illumina 850k methylation arrays. Furthermore, differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were validated in the 245 RA patients using a targeted bisulfite sequencing assay. Lastly, prognostic models were developed, which included clinical characteristics and DMPs scores, for the prediction of LEF treatment response using machine learning algorithms. Results We recognized a seven-DMP signature consisting of cg17330251, cg19814518, cg20124410, cg21109666, cg22572476, cg23403192, and cg24432675, which was effective in predicting RA patient's LEF response status. In the five machine learning algorithms, the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm provided the best predictive model, with the largest discriminative ability, accuracy, and stability. Lastly, the AUC of the complex model(the 7-DMP scores with the lymphocyte and the diagnostic age) was higher than the simple model (the seven-DMP signature, AUC:0.74 vs 0.73 in the test set). Conclusion In conclusion, we constructed a prognostic model integrating a 7-DMP scores with the clinical patient profile to predict responses to LEF treatment. Our model will be able to effectively guide clinicians in determining whether a patient is LEF treatment sensitive or not.

Abstract
Background EAS index is reported to be an adjunctive tool for risk stratification in addition to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This study aimed to verify the predictive value of EAS index among coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with different cardiac systolic function levels. Methods A total of 477 patients with obstructive CAD were included in the exploratory analysis of a prospective cohort between October 2017 and January 2018 at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. EAS index, e'/(a' × s'), is a novel parameter assessed by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) indicating combined diastolic and systolic performance. Any occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) was recorded, including first onset of myocardial infarction, stroke, readmission for heart failure, coronary revascularization, or cardiovascular death that occurred within 6 months of the first admission. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses were applied to testify the predictive value of EAS index for cardiovascular outcome. Results A total of 415 patients (87.2%) completed the follow-up (median, 25.9 months) and experienced 101 (24.3%) MACEs, 17 (4.0%) deaths, and 139 (33.4%) composite events. Elevated EAS index was significantly associated with a higher incidence of MACE, even after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity troponin T, high-density lipoprotein, stenosis degree, and other TDI parameters [Model 3, hazard ratio: 1.81, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15-2.85]. For different levels of cardiac function, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that elevated EAS index was associated with higher MACE incidence only in patients with LVEF ≥50% (P<0.05). Conclusions EAS index is an independent predictor of MACE in patients with obstructive CAD, which could be utilized as a tool for risk stratification in CAD patients or incorporated into a prediction model to improve efficacy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this work, based on intelligent computing, the biological signals of patients were analyzed to investigate the hemodynamic changes and pulmonary complications of Nalmefene Hcl combined with general anesthesia (GA) in laparoscopic gynecological tumor surgery (GTS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty computer-aided GTS patients were randomly divided into a control group (n = 40) and an observation group (n = 40). Biomedical electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were detected by wavelet neural network in all patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological tumor surgery and were computerized according to the android interface definition language model (AIDL). GA was used during surgery. The observation group was injected intravenously with 0.2 μg/kg naproxenacin hydrochloride after operation. The control group was given 1 mL 0.9% sodium chloride solution after operation. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), pulse oxygen saturation (SPO), coma score, and adverse reactions (AR) were compared between the two groups at 10, 20, and 30 minutes after wakefulness. The hemodynamic parameters between the two groups were compared. Serum urocholine (URO) and creatinine (Cre) levels were analyzed in patients without complications. RESULTS ECG waveform based on wavelet neural network has a high recognition rate and strong generalization ability. 37 patients in the observation group recovered within 10 minutes after surgery, and the recovery rate at 30 minutes was 95%. 30 patients in the control group awoke 10 minutes after the operation, and the recovery rate at 30 minutes m-AR was 75%. The average abstract windows toolkit (AWT) of the observation group and control group was 11.87 ± 5.78 min and 16.46 ± 5.32 min, respectively, and the difference was significant (p < 0.05). There were significant differences in HR, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between the observation group and the control group during the extubation (p < 0.05). Blood gas indexes PaO2, PvO2, PaCO2, and PvCO2 in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group half an hour after the operation and half an hour after pneumoperitoneum (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Intelligent computational biological signal detection was beneficial to the development of surgery. Nalmefene Hcl combined with GA on the basis of the AIDL model has a significant effect on the awakening of GTS patients and can shorten sleep time. Patients with underlying cardiac disease were more likely to develop postoperative lung complications.

Abstract
Existing studies could not separate the effects of heavy metal exposure on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk from those caused by physical activity (PA). The possible interactive effect of heavy metal exposure and PA on the risk of CVD remains still unknown. We enrolled a total of 12,280 participants in 2007-2018 cycles of the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and discovered that both low blood concentrations of Cd and Pb were positively correlated with increased prevalence of CVD and subtypes, with a stronger association for blood Cd than Pb. Negative dose-response relationships between PA and the prevalence of CVD and subtypes were identified. Participants with inactive and active PA had lower risk of CVD than those having no PA, with multivariate adjusted ORs 0.8 (95% CI: 0.69, 0.94) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.68, 0.85), respectively. The only evidence for negative interaction between regular PA and blood Cd concentrations was found with regard to the prevalence of CVD and subtypes, indicating that regular PA could well modify the adverse effect of blood Cd on CVD risk. We demonstrate for the first time to date that PA may have a beneficial effect against the hazardous impact of Cd exposure on elevated CVD risk, emphasizing the necessity to promote a healthy lifestyle with active PA.

Abstract
Objectives To examine national trends in unhealthy lifestyle factors among adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the United States (US) between 1999 and 2018. Methods We analyzed data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative survey of participants with CVD who were aged ≥20 years, which was conducted between 1999 and 2000 and 2017-2018. CVD was defined as a self-report of congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack, or stroke. The prevalence rate of each unhealthy lifestyle factor was calculated among adults with CVD for each of the 2-year cycle surveys. Regression analyses were used to assess the impact of sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, race/ethnicity, family income, education level, marital status, and employment status). Results The final sample included 5610 NHANES respondents with CVD. The prevalence rate of their current smoking status remained stable among respondents with CVD between 1999 and 2000 and 2017-2018. During the same period, there was a decreasing trend in the age-adjusted prevalence rate of poor diet [primary American Heart Association (AHA) score <20; 47.5% (37.9%-57.0%) to 37.5% (25.7%-49.3%), p < 0.01]. Physical inactivity marginally increased before decreasing, with no statistical significance. The prevalence rate of sedentary behavior increased from 2007 to 2014 but subsequently returned to its original level in 2018 with no statistical significance. The age-adjusted prevalence rate of obesity increased from 32% (27.2%-36.8%) in 1999-2000 to 47.9% (39.9%-55.8%) in 2017-2018 (p < 0.001). The age-adjusted prevalence rate of depression increased from 7% (4.2%-9.9%) in 1999-2000 to 13.9% (10.2%-17.6%) in 2017-2018 (p = 0.056). Trends in mean for each unhealthy lifestyle factor were similar after adjustment for age. We found that respondents who had low education and income levels were at a higher risk of being exposed to unhealthy lifestyle factors (i.e., smoking, poor diet, and physical inactivity) than those who had high education and income levels. Conclusions There is a significant reduction in the prevalence rate of poor diet among US adults with CVD between 1999 and 2018, while the prevalence rate of obesity showed increasing trends over this period. The prevalence rate of current smoking status, sedentary behavior, and depression was either stable or showed an insignificant increase. These findings suggest that there is an urgent need for health policy interventions targeting unhealthy lifestyles among adults with CVD.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to forecast the risk factors of poor outcomes and postoperative loss of lordosis or recurrence of kyphosis. In this retrospective study, 101 patients with cervical spondylosis and preoperative kyphosis who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) were enrolled, between June 2015 and June 2019. Patients were grouped according to the recovery rate of Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score whether more than 50%, and the change of postoperative cervical Cobb angle. There were 22 cases with less than 50% of recovery rate and 35 cases with the worsening of postoperative sagittal alignment (WPSA). Multivariate linear-regression analysis was conducted with the data. Advanced age (p = 0.019), longer duration of symptoms (p = 0.003) and loss of local Cobb angle (LCA) after surgery (p = 0.031) was significantly associated with a poor clinical outcome. A whole kyphosis (p = 0.009), aggravated neck pain after surgery (p = 0.012), preoperative lower thoracic 1 (T1) (p < 0.001), bigger change of C2-7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (p = 0.008) and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) (p = 0.024) was significantly associated with the WPSA. Preoperative health education, nutritional support and early postoperative rehabilitation intervention, in perioperative period, were recommended for patients with advance age, longer duration of symptoms, whole cervical kyphosis and lower T1. Postoperative sagittal malalignment was related to neck pain and ASD after surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the etiology, prevention and treatment status, and their corresponding regional differences of the patients with liver cirrhosis in China, in order to provide scientific basis for the development of diagnosis and control strategies in China. Methods: Clinical data of patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis for the first time through January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 from 50 hospitals in seven different regions of China were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and the difference of etiology, treatment, and their differences in various regions were analyzed. Results: A total of 11 861 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in the study. Thereinto, 5 093 cases (42.94%) were diagnosed as compensated cirrhosis, and 6 768 cases (57.06%) had decompensated cirrhosis. Notably, 8 439 cases (71.15%) were determined as chronic hepatitis B-caused cirrhosis, 1 337 cases (11.27%) were alcoholic liver disease, 963 cases (8.12%) were chronic hepatitis C, 698 cases (5.88%) were autoimmune liver disease, 367 cases (3.09%) were schistosomiasis, 177 cases (1.49%) were nonalcoholic fatty liver, and 743 cases (6.26%) of other types of liver disease. There were significant differences in the incidence of chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver, schistosomiasis liver disease, and autoimmune liver disease among the seven regions (P<0.001). Only 1 139 cases (9.60%) underwent endoscopic therapy, thereinto, 718 cases (6.05%) underwent surgical therapy, and 456 cases (3.84%) underwent interventional therapy treatment. In patients with compensated liver cirrhosis, 60 cases (0.51%) underwent non-selective β receptor blockers(NSBB), including 59 cases (0.50%) underwent propranolol and 1 case (0.01%) underwent carvedilol treatment. In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, 310 cases (2.61%) underwent NSBB treatment, including 303 cases (2.55%) underwent propranolol treatment and 7 cases (0.06%) underwent carvedilol treatment. Interestingly, there were significant differences in receiving endoscopic therapy, interventional therapy, NSBB therapy, splenectomy and other surgical treatments among the seven regions (P<0.001). Conclusion: Currently, chronic hepatitis B is the main cause (71.15%) of liver cirrhosis in several regions of China, and alcoholic liver disease has become the second cause (11.27%) of liver cirrhosis in China. The three-level prevention and control of cirrhosis in China should be further strengthened.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Unhealthy lifestyle factors are risk factors for stroke, and they play a key role in stroke secondary prevention. A better understanding of these factors may aid with improvements in public health policy. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to comprehensively understand the trends in unhealthy lifestyle factors in people who have previously had a stroke in the US. METHODS: Utilizing data from the biannual United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANESs) between 1999 and 2018, we collated data on unhealthy lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol drinking, depression, unhealthy diet, high BMI, physical inactivity, and sedentary behavior) in adults with a history of stroke. The Joinpoint Regression model was used to calculate the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) to identify trends. Logistic regression modeling was used to identify the influence of sociodemographic factors (age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, employment status, family income, and highest education level). RESULTS: The analysis included 2017 respondents with a history of stroke. Current alcohol drinking (39.3% (95% confidence interval: 29.8, 48.7) to 57.4% (45.7, 69.0) p = 0.008) and obesity (39.2% (28.3, 50.2) to 49.4% (38.9, 59.8) p = 0.029) increased significantly from 1999 to 2018. The prevalence of smoking and depression remained generally stable. The proportion of respondents with an unhealthy diet decreased from 1999 (44.5% (32.4, 56.5)) to 2011 (29.0% (17.5, 40.4) p = 0.019), but then returned to its original prevalence in 2018 (42.0% (31.4, 52.7)). From 2007 to 2018, the proportion of respondents who were physically inactive decreased significantly, from 70.4% (64.4, 76.3) to 55.1% (46.1, 64.2; p = 0.017). After a gradual increase in sedentary activity from 2007 to 2012, this declined from 2013 to 2018, with no statistical significance. We found stroke survivors who were widowed, divorced, separated, or unemployed were at a higher risk of having unhealthy lifestyles than those who were employed or had other marital statuses. CONCLUSIONS: A modest reduction in the prevalence of physical inactivity was observed in Americans with a history of stroke between 1999 and 2018. The prevalences of smoking, drinking, depression, poor diet, obesity, and sedentary behavior were stable or increasing.

Abstract
Lifestyle management is important to patients with diabetes, but whether gender differences exist in lifestyle management is unclear. Data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 1999 to 2018) was used for this research. Gender differences were evaluated descriptively and using an odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). A total of 8412 participants (48% women) were finally included. Across these surveys, the incidences of poor diet (OR: 1.26 (95% CI, 1.12, 1.43)), smoking (1.58 (1.35, 1.84)), alcohol consumption (1.94 (1.68, 2.25)) and sedentary behavior (1.20 (1.04, 1.39)) were more common in men, while depression (0.47 (0.37, 0.59)), obesity (0.69 (0.61, 0.78)) and insufficient physical activity (0.56 (0.49, 0.65)) were more common in women. Reductions in poor diet were greater in men between 1999 and 2000 and 2017 and 2018 (p = 0.037), while the mean body mass index (BMI) levels (p = 0.019) increased more among women. Furthermore, several gender differences were found to be related to age, race/ethnicity and marital/insurance/employment statuses. Our research found gender differences in diabetes-related unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and provides reference data for implementing measures to reduce the gender differences. Further work to reduce gender-specific barriers to a healthy lifestyle is warranted in order to further improve diabetes management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the different predictive values of depression among patients with different cardiac systolic function levels. METHODS Four hundred eighty-three consecutive patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) were included the depressive state was assessed using the Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9). Depression was defined as have depressive symptoms with a PHQ-9 score ≥5. The level of cardiac systolic function was classified as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50 and <50%. RESULTS Over a median of 26.2 months, 421 patients completed the follow-up and experienced 101 major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), 45 non-cardiac rehospitalizations, and 17 deaths. Predictors for clinical outcomes in patients with different cardiac systolic function levels were not the same. For participants with preserved LVEF, depression was associated with increased risks for cardiovascular events and composite outcomes. However, when focusing the whole population, predictive values of depression for MACEs, non-cardiac rehospitalizations, and composite endpoints all dropped. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses further confirmed that depression was the one of the main predictors for all clinical outcomes. With the combination of other simple features, area under curve (AUC) could reach 0.64-0.67. CONCLUSIONS Inconsistent with the general impression, depression is found to have a closer linkage with clinical outcomes in CAD patients with preserved LVEF rather than in those with decreased LVEF. These findings appeal for more attention on CAD patients with depressive symptoms and comparatively normal LVEF. Including psychological factors may be a good attempt when constructing risk prediction models.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unhealthy lifestyle factors are known to increase the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its complications. The long-term trends in these factors are unclear. METHODS The aim of the study was to assess temporal trends in the prevalence of risk factors in adults with CKD in the USA and identify sociodemographic subgroups at most risk. Subanalysis of data was carried out from a stratified, complex, multistage probability-based cross-sectional and nationally representative survey. We examined participants from National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) respondents aged ≥20 years with CKD from 1999 to 2018. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate of 15-59 mL/min/1.73 m2. Evaluated risk factors included uncontrolled blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, excessive sodium intake, excessive protein intake, poor diet, obesity, smoking, depression, physical inactivity, and sedentary behavior. Sociodemographic variables included age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, education level, family income, and employment status. RESULTS Blood pressure control among respondents with CKD (n = 4,342) was poor but significantly improved from the 1999-2000 (82% uncontrolled) to 2017-2018 surveys (66%; p for linear trend = 0.02). Prevalence of uncontrolled blood glucose (15-22%; p < 0.01), excessive sodium intake (72-78%; p = 0.04), and obesity (32-51%; p < 0.01) significantly increased over this time. The proportion of respondents with uncontrolled blood lipids, depression, smoking, excessive protein intake, poor diet, physical inactivity, or sedentary behavior showed no significant change over the 10-year period. Older people were more likely to have high blood pressure, high blood glucose, and high blood lipids but healthier lifestyle habits than younger people. And respondents of males, non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, low income, low education, widowed/divorced/separated, and employed had worse risk factor control compared to reference groups. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Although the control of several risk factors in US NHANES respondents with CKD improved from 1999 to 2018, further reductions remain of value.

Abstract
AIM Exploring the risk factors of prognosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is of great importance. Our aim of the study is to investigate the association between variability in total cholesterol (TC) level and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients after PCI. METHODS Between April 2004 and December 2009, 909 patients who underwent primary PCI and with at least three TC values were included in the final study. TC variability was calculated using four indices: standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), the average successive variability (ASV), variability independent of the mean (VIM). MACCE comprised all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), unplanned revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure, and non-fatal stroke. RESULTS There were 394 cases of MACCE during the follow-up period. When the subjects were divided into quartile groups by CV of TC, high CV groups were associated with a higher hazard ratio of MACCE than for lower CV groups. In multivariable adjusted models, TC variability and MACCE remained correlated [HR (95% CI): Q2, 1.17 (0.86-1.58); Q3, 1.38 (1.03-1.85); Q4, 1.63 (1.22-2.17)]. Similar patterns of MACCE were noted by quartiles of SD, ASV, and VIM. CONCLUSION Visit-to-visit TC variability is positively correlated with MACCE in patients after PCI.

Abstract
Aberrant TGF‑β/Smad7 signaling has been reported to be an important mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of a number of potential anti‑colitis agents on intestinal epithelial permeability and the TGF‑β/Smad7 signaling pathway in an experimental model of colitis. A mouse model of colitis was first established before anti‑TNF‑α and 5‑aminosalicyclic acid (5‑ASA) were administered intraperitoneally and orally, respectively. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, histological index (HI) of the colon and the disease activity index (DAI) scores were then detected in each mouse. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), immunohistochemical and functional tests, including Evans blue (EB) and FITC‑dextran (FD‑4) staining, were used to evaluate intestinal mucosal permeability. The expression of epithelial phenotype markers E‑cadherin, occludin, zona occludens (ZO‑1), TGF‑β and Smad7 were measured. In addition, epithelial myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) expression and activity were measured. Anti‑TNF‑α and 5‑ASA treatments was both found to effectively reduce the DAI score and HI, whilst decreasing colonic MPO activity, plasma levels of FD‑4 and EB permeation of the intestine. Furthermore, anti‑TNF‑α and 5‑ASA treatments decreased MLCK expression and activity, reduced the expression of Smad7 in the small intestine epithelium, but increased the expression of TGF‑β. In mice with colitis, TEM revealed partial epithelial injury in the ileum, where the number of intercellular tight junctions and the expression levels of E‑cadherin, ZO‑1 and occludin were decreased, all of which were alleviated by anti‑TNF‑α and 5‑ASA treatment. In conclusion, anti‑TNF‑α and 5‑ASA both exerted protective effects on intestinal epithelial permeability in an experimental mouse model of colitis. The underlying mechanism may be mediated at least in part by the increase in TGF‑β expression and/or the reduction in Smad7 expression, which can inhibit epithelial MLCK activity and in turn reduce mucosal permeability during the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Structural variations (SVs, defined as DNA variants ≥50 bp) have been associated with various complex human diseases. However, research to screen the whole genome for SVs predisposing to psoriasis is still lacking. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association of SVs and psoriasis. METHODS We performed a genome-wide screen on SVs using an imputation method on 5 independent cohorts with 45,386 subjects from the Chinese Han population. Fine mapping analysis, genetic interaction analysis and RNA expression analysis were conducted to explore the mechanism of SVs. RESULTS We obtained 4,535 SVs in total and identified 2 novel deletions (esv3608550, OR=2.73, P<2.00×10-308 ; esv3608542, OR=0.47, P=7.40×10-28 ) at 6q21.33 (MHC), 1 novel Alu element insertion (esv3607339, OR=1.22, P=1.18×10-35 ) at 5q33.3 (IL12B), and confirmed 1 previously reported deletion (esv3587563, OR=1.30, P=9.52×10-60 ) at 1q21.2 (LCE) for psoriasis. Fine mapping analysis including SNPs and small Insertions/Deletions (InDels) revealed that esv3608550 and esv3608542 were independently associated with psoriasis, and a novel independent SNP (rs9378188, OR=1.65, P=3.46×10-38 ) was identified at 6q21.33. By genetic interaction analysis and RNA expression analysis, we speculate that the association of 2 deletions at 6q21.33 with psoriasis might relate to their influence on the expression of HLA-C. CONCLUSIONS Our study constructed the most comprehensive SV map for psoriasis thus far and enriched the genetic architecture and pathogenesis of psoriasis as well as highlighted the nonnegligible impact of SVs on complex diseases.

Abstract
Apoptin is a small molecular weight protein derived from chicken anemia virus, which can induce the apoptosis of transformed cells and tumor cells and leave primary and nontransformed cells unharmed. Apoptin's cell localization depends on its own phosphorylation state and cell type. In tumor cells, phosphorylated apoptin enters the nucleus and induces apoptosis. While, in normal cells apoptin mainly exists in the cytoplasm. Apoptin, as a disordered protein in cells, interacts with many proteins in cell signal pathways to induce apoptosis of tumor cells. The specific mechanism of apoptosis induced by apoptin has not been completely elucidated. Therefore, apoptin has become a potential anticancer agent. This review summarizes the research results of apoptin in our laboratory and reveals the specific antitumor mechanism of apoptin expressed by oncolytic virus vector on a variety of tumor cells and mouse models.

Abstract
We developed and validated a nomogram to predict the risk of stroke in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in northern China. Out of six machine learning algorithms studied to improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of the prediction model, the logistic regression algorithm showed high performance in terms of calibration and decision curve analysis. The nomogram included stratifications of sex, age, systolic blood pressure, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol along with the history of traditional risk factors such as hypertensive, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and coronary heart disease. The nomogram exhibited a high Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-for-fit and good calibration (P > 0.05). The analysis, including the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, the net reclassification index, the integrated discrimination improvement, and clinical use, showed that our prediction model was more accurate than the Framingham risk model in predicting stroke risk in RA patients. In conclusion, the nomogram can be used for individualized preoperative prediction of stroke risk in RA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and anxiety are two common mood problems among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and are associated with poor cardiac prognoses. The comorbidity of depression and anxiety is considered to be a more severe psychological status than non-comorbid mood disorders. However, little is known about the relationship between depression or anxiety and noncardiac readmission. We conducted a prospective study on the prognostic impact of depression, anxiety, and the comorbidity of the two among angina pectoris (AP) patients. METHOD In this prospective study, 443 patients with AP were included in the analysis. Follow-up assessments were performed 1 year, and 2 years after patient discharges. Clinical outcomes of interest included noncardiac readmission, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and composite events. Depression and anxiety symptom scores derived from the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and generalised anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire were used to assess mood symptoms at baseline. Participants with symptom scores of ≥10 on both the depression and anxiety questionnaires formed the clinical comorbidity subgroup. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to evaluate the impact of individual mood symptom and comorbidity on clinical outcomes. RESULTS Among all the AP patients, 172 (38. 9%) were determined to have depression symptoms, 127 (28.7%) patients had anxiety symptoms and 71 (16.0%) patients suffered from their comorbidity. After controlling covariates, we found that patients who endured clinical depression (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-5.33, p = 0.035) and anxiety ([HR] 2.85, 95% [CI] 1.10-7.45, p = 0.032) had a high risk of noncardiac readmission. Compared to participants with no mood symptoms, those with clinical comorbidity of depression and anxiety presented a greater risk of noncardiac readmission ([HR] 2.91, 95% [CI] 1.03-8.18, p = 0.043) MACEs ([HR] 2.38, 95% [CI] 1.11-5.10, p = 0.025) and composite event ([HR] 2.52, 95% [CI] 1.35-4.69, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION Depression and anxiety were found to have predictive value for noncardiac readmission among patients with AP. Furthermore, prognoses were found to be worse for patients with comorbidity of depression and anxiety than those with single mood symptom. Additional attention needs to be focused on the initial identification and long-term monitoring of mood symptom comorbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Depression and malnutrition are prevalent among people with coronary artery disease (CAD) and can affect their prognosis, but the relationship between depression and malnutrition and its co-effect on prognosis is not clear. We sought to explore that relationship and its effects. METHODS In this study, the nutritional and emotional statuses of 547 people with CAD were assessed using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The average follow-up period was 2.1 y, after which we explored the relationship between depression and nutrition and prognosis. RESULTS A total of 41% of the participants were found to have mild malnutrition, 10% moderate to severe malnutrition, 26% had mild depression, and 11% had moderate to severe depression. A total of 20.6% of the participants were found to have comorbidities of depression and malnutrition; and both moderate to severe depression (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.674; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.098-2.551) and moderate to severe malnutrition (adjusted HR, 1.686; 95% CI, 1.073-2.648) were observed to be risk factors for the composite end point. Participants with comorbidities of depression and malnutrition were found to have increased risk of cardiovascular death (HR, 5.390; 95% CI, 1.483-19.589) and composite end point (adjusted HR, 1.791; 95% CI, 1.133-2.833) compared to those without both depression and malnutrition. CONCLUSIONS Depression and malnutrition were found to be risk factors for adverse outcomes in people with CAD. People with CAD should pay attention to their emotional and nutritional statuses, and interventions must be timely and efficient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Two-thirds of women with symptoms of angina have 'angina with no obstructive coronary artery disease' (ANOCA). Growing evidence supports the use of coronary artery function testing for the diagnosis of ANOCA. Research into the prevalence of mental stress-induced myocardial ischaemia (MSIMI) among women with ANOCA is lacking. MSIMI is common in clinically stable patients with coronary artery disease. It is not associated coronary stenosis but is a prognostic risk factor. Here, we describe the rationale and protocol for a mechanistic clinical trial to test the following hypotheses: (1) that MSIMI is more common in women with ANOCA women than in age-matched and sex-matched controls, and (2) MSIMI is associated with mental stress-induced myocardial blood flow (MBF) change but not with adenosine vasodilator stress-induced MBF change. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a mechanistic clinical trial. 84 women with confirmed ANOCA and 42 aged-matched healthy women (neither angina symptoms nor coronary stenosis) are to be recruited for mental and adenosine vasodilator stress tests. Positron emission tomography CT with ammonia N-13 will be used to evaluate the myocardial perfusion and MBF changes between stress and rest. MSIMI is defined as a summed difference score (SDS) of ≥3 and adenosine stress-induced myocardial ischaemia is defined as an SDS of ≥4. Other assessments include Reactive Hyperemia Index for microvascular endothelial function, peripheral arterial tonometry or digital vasomotor response, and a series of blood and psychometric tests. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This mechanistic clinical trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03982901; Pre-results.

Abstract
Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) has attracted increasing attention in the last 30 y. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is among the most accurate methods for evaluating myocardial perfusion. Even so, echocardiography seems to be a more harmless option when the radiation exposure and high expense of PET/CT are considered. To date, no previous studies have compared the consistency between echocardiography and PET/CT in the diagnosis of MSIMI. The primary aim of this research was to compare the consistency of myocardial contrast echocardiography and PET/CT in diagnosing MSIMI in women with angina symptom/ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). Fifty adult female patients with INOCA were recruited for a 12-min-long mental stress test. Each patient underwent both echocardiography and PET/CT at baseline and during mental stress testing; the interval between the two examinations was 1-3 d and the sequence was assigned naturally. MSIMI is defined by a summed difference score (SDS) ≥3 on PET-CT during mental stress testing. It is also defined by new abnormal wall motion, ejection fraction reduction ≥5%, and/or development of ischemic ST change on the electrocardiogram during mental stress testing. This study examined the consistency of PET/CT and myocardial contrast echocardiography in diagnosing MSIMI.

Abstract
A new species, Botrytis polygoni, was isolated from several species of Polygonaceae in 2011 and 2012 in Tongwei County, Gansu Province, China. The species infects Fagopyrum esculentum, F. tataricum, and Fallopia convolvulus, causing brown leaf spots and large blotches with concentric rings in the field. Botrytis polygoni is morphologically characterized by conidia spherical, unicellular, hyaline to pale brown or brown, (10.2-)14.3-21.4(-23.5) μm; and sclerotia black, spherical to subspherical, allantoid, or irregular-shaped, 0.2-4.1 × 0.1-3.0 mm. Comparison of the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) sequences confirmed its placement in the genus Botrytis. Phylogenetic analysis based on the protein-coding genes glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH), heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), and DNA-dependent RNA polymerase subunit II (RPB2) showed that the new species is clustered close but separate from Botrytis pyriformis, which was distant from 37 other Botrytis species and 17 undescribed species. Pathogenicity tests showed that the new species has aggressive pathogenicity to four species of Polygonaceae, specifically Fag. tataricum, Fal. convolvulus, Polygonum sibiricum, and Pol. aviculare, weak pathogenicity to Vicia faba in the Fabaceae, and no pathogenicity to eight other tested plants: Amaranthus retroflexus, Cirsium arvense, Convolvulus arvensis, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, Lagopsis supine, Mentha canadensis, Plantago asiatica, and Raphanus sativus.

Abstract
PURPOSE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease with a high disability rate, resulting in severe family and social burden. The aim of treatment is to improve the health-related quality of life (QoL) of patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the QoL of patients with RA in Northeast China and analyze its influencing factors. METHODS The study group consisted of 200 patients diagnosed with RA. The control group consisted of 200 healthy subjects. All subjects were residents in Northeast China. The investigation was conducted by questionnaire survey and electronic medical record. The WHOQOL-BREF, The Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and Quality of Life Instruments for Chronic Diseases-RA (QLICD-RA) were used as questionnaires. RESULTS The QoL scores acquired by SF-36, WHOQOL-BREF and QLICD-RA scales showed significant differences between RA and control groups (P < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that sleep duration (P = 0.001), psychological counseling (P < 0.001) and C4 level (P = 0.001) influenced the SF-36 scale evaluation model. IgA levels (P < 0.001) and being overweight (P = 0.030) were included in the WHOQOL-BREF evaluation model. Adequate sleep (P = 0.001) and psychological counseling(P = 0.050) entered the QLICD-RA scale evaluation model (P = 0.050), in which psychological counseling, normal C4 levels and being overweight were protective factors for RA, insufficient sleep and IgA levels were risk factors for RA. CONCLUSIONS The QoL of RA patients is generally lower than those of healthy subjects in the Northeast China, Northeast China. Sleep duration, BMI (Body mass index), psychological counseling, C4 and IgA levels are factors that influence the QoL scores of RA patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of omeprazole on plasma concentration, efficacy and adverse reactions of capecitabine in patients with colon cancer. Methods: Seventy-two patients with colon cancer treated with capecitabine were analysed retrospective. The patients treated with capecitabine combined with omeprazole were identified as experimental group and the capecitabine treatment alone as control group.The differences of blood concentration and the side effects of capecitabine between these two groups were compared. Results: The plasma concentration of 5-Fluorouracilum in experimental group was (126.25±50.59) μg/ml, without significant difference of (123.09±56.70) μg/ml in control group (P=0.121). The incidence of Ⅲ to Ⅳ degree bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and hand-foot syndrome in experimental group were 13.8%, 0%, 0% and 19.4%, respectively. In control group, the incidence of Ⅲ to Ⅳ degree bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and the hand-foot syndrome were 11.1%, 0%, 0% and 19.4%, respectively, without significant difference of experimental group (P>0.05). The incidence of acid reflux and heartburn in the control group was 72.2%, significantly higher than 44.4% of the experimental group (P<0.05). The objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival time (PFS) in these two groups were 30.6% and 33.3%, and 8.0 month and 8.5 month, respectively, without significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: The intravenous omeprazole attenuates reflux and heartburn of colon cancer patients treated with capecitabine, without affecting its plasma concentration and side effects and has no impact on the PFS of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether there were any differences in the patterns of metabolic abnormalities between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other populations, and to plot the dose-response relationships between metabolic indexes and the risk of comorbid T2DM among patients with RA. DESIGN AND SETTING This is a retrospective case-control study using electronic medical records (EMRs). Patients with RA and/or T2DM or controls who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between April 2008 and December 2016 were retrospectively recruited through the EMR system. After age-matching and sex-matching, 261 controls, 274 patients with T2DM, 276 patients with RA and 151 patients with RA+T2DM were eventually recruited. RESULTS Patients with RA+T2DM exhibited higher levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and triglyceride (TG) than the RA only patients. Moreover, the proportions of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) dyslipidaemia in the RA+T2DM group were higher than those in the RA alone group (for IFG: 28.48% vs 18.84%, p=0.02; for TC: 25.17% vs 15.22%, p=0.01; for LDL-C: 25.83% vs 17.03%; p=0.03). Rheumatoid factor (RF) positivity and IFG were independent risk indicators for comorbid T2DM among patients with RA (for RF positivity: OR=0.45; 95% CI: 0.29 to 0.69; p<0.001; for IFG: OR=1.70; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.76; p=0.03). CONCLUSION Linear dose-response associations between SBP, TC, TG and the risk of comorbid T2DM among patients with RA were observed, whereas a non-linear dose-response association between FPG and the risk of comorbid T2DM was found. Patients with RA+T2DM were more likely to exhibit metabolic abnormalities than RA only patients. Patients with RA+T2DM with metabolic abnormalities deserve more attention from rheumatologists and endocrinologists.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in CD8(+) T cells activity from patients with breast cancer. Methods: Thirty-three patients with breast cancer, twenty-three patients with benign breast tumor, and twenty healthy individuals were collected from The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between December 2017 and March 2018. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated, and CD8(+) T cells were purified. TLR7 protein and mRNA relative expression in CD8(+) T cells was measured using flow cytometry and real-time PCR, respectively. mRNA relative expressions corresponding to perforin, granzyme B, and FasL in CD8(+) T cells were measured in response to TLR7 agonist stimulation. Direct/indirect contact co-culture system of CD8(+) T cells and breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was also used to assess cytolytic and noncytolytic function in response to TLR7 agonist CL097 stimulation. Results: The mean fluorescence intensity corresponding to TLR7 protein in CD8(+) T cells from breast cancer patients was 124.0±15.32, which was significantly down-regulated in comparison with benign breast tumor patients (255.5±54.91) and healthy individuals (261.9±68.65) (P<0.000 1). TLR7 mRNA relative level was also remarkably reduced in CD8(+) T cells from breast cancer patients (1.97±1.18) in comparison with benign breast tumor patients (4.84±1.01) and healthy individuals (4.75±1.40) (P<0.000 1). TLR7 agonist CL097 stimulation notably increased mRNA relative levels of perforin and granzyme B mRNA in CD8(+) T cells (P<0.01), but not elevated FasL mRNA (P>0.05).Furthermore, TLR7 agonist CL097 stimulation enhanced the cytolytic and noncytolytic function of CD8(+) T cells to MCF-7 cells, which presented as the elevation of target cell death and increase of interferon-γ production in direct and indirect contact co-culture system. Conclusion: TLR7 agonist promoted CD8(+) T cells function from breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Isopentenylation at A37 (i6 A37) of some transfer RNAs (tRNAs) plays a vital role in regulating the efficiency and fidelity of protein synthesis. However, whether insects, which are well known for their highly efficient protein synthesis machinery, employ this regulatory mechanism remains uninvestigated. In the current study, a candidate tRNA isopentenyltransferase (IPT) gene with three alternative splicing isoforms (BmIPT1-BmIPT3) was identified in Bombyx mori (silkworm). Only BmIPT1 could complement a yeast mutant lacking tRNA IPT. Phylogenetic analysis showed that silkworm tRNA IPT is conserved in the Lepidoptera. BmIPT was expressed in all B. mori tissues and organs that were investigated, but was expressed at a significantly higher level in silk glands of the fourth instar compared to the first day of the fifth instar. Interestingly, BmIPT was expressed at a significantly higher level in the domesticated silkworm, B. mori, than in wild Bombyx mandarina in multiple tissues and organs. Knock-down of BmIPT by RNA interference caused severe abnormalities in silk spinning and metamorphosis. Constitutive overexpression of BmIPT1 using a cytoplasmic actin 4 promoter in B. mori raised its messenger RNA level more than sixfold compared with nontransgenic insects and led to significant decreases in the body weight and cocoon shell ratio. Together, these results confirm the first functional tRNA IPT in insects and show that a suitable expression level of tRNA IPT is vital for silk spinning, normal growth, and metamorphosis. Thus, i6 A modification at position A37 in tRNA probably plays an important role in B. mori protein synthesis.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the effects of different types of anesthesia on postoperative cardiopulmonary complications in patients aged 80 years and above who received unilateral hip fracture surgery. Methods: The perioperative data of patients aged 80 and above who underwent unilateral hip fracture surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2009 to June 2014 were collected and grouped based on the types of anesthesia including general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia, and peripheral nerve block. Variables were analyzed including preoperative general conditions (age, sex, type of fracture, ASA physical status classification, preoperative cardiopulmonary complications), intraoperative conditions (type of surgical procedure, operative time, blood loss, total intraoperative fluid infusion), and postoperative conditions (length of hospital stay, postoperative hospital stay, ICU stay, postoperative newly developed cardiopulmonary complications, postoperative in-hospital death, hospitalization costs). The incidences of postoperative cardiopulmonary complications of each group were analyzed and compared. Results: A total of 219 cases were finally analyzed including general anesthesia (n=46), neuraxial anesthesia (n=90) and nerve block group (n=83). Fewer cases with preoperative pulmonary complications were noticed in general anesthesia group (15 cases, 32.6%) than in neuraxial anesthesia group (45 cases, 50%) and nerve block group (47 cases, 56.6%) (χ(2)=6.912, P=0.032). No statistical differences were found between groups regarding preoperative cardiovascular complications and other variables. There were no significant differences in postoperative cardiopulmonary complications. However, the cost of hospitalization was lower in neuraxial anesthesia group (45.6±21.4) thousand RMB and nerve block group (48.2±25.8) thousand RMB compared with general anesthesia group (56.3±21.6) thousand RMB, the difference was statistically significant(F=9.951, P=0.007). Conclusions: For elderly patients undergoing unilateral hip surgery, the type of anesthesia does not affect the incidence of postoperative cardiopulmonary complications. However, neuraxial anesthesia and nerve block may reduce the cost of hospitalization.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignant cancers with high incidence and mortality. Current reliable effective diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers are very limited in clinic. Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulated expression of the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) was examined in various types of cancer including ESCC. ESCC associated lncRNA _1 (ESCCAL_1) was first time identified to be increased expression in ESCC, and therefore named by our research team. However, its potential function in the progression of ESCC remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of ESCCAL_1 knockdown on ESCC tumorigenicity using a xenograft mouse model and explored the underlying molecular mechanism. Here we showed that ESCCAL_1 knockdown significantly inhibited EC9706 cell growth in nude mice. Interestingly, we also found that reduced expression of ESCCAL_1 resulted in distinct alterations of relative phosphorylation level of kinases (p-p38α, p-JNK, p-FAK and p-Src), and significant changes of the expression level of apoptosis-related proteins (p53, BAX, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3). In summary, our results suggest that lncRNA ESCCAL_1 is a potential diagnostic and prognostic target of ESCC.

Abstract
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common developmental anomalies affecting function and esthetics. The paired-domain transcription factor, Pax9, is critical for patterning and morphogenesis of tooth and taste buds. Mutations of PAX9 have been identified in patients with tooth agenesis. Despite significant progress in the genetics of tooth agenesis, many gaps in knowledge exist in refining the genotype-phenotype correlation between PAX9 and tooth agenesis. In the present study, we complete genetic and phenotypic characterization of multiplex Chinese families with nonsyndromic (NS) tooth agenesis. Direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products revealed 9 novel (c.140G>C, c.167T>A, c.332G>C, c.194C>A, c.271A>T, c.146delC, c.185_189dup, c.256_262dup, and c.592delG) and 2 known heterozygous mutations in the PAX9 gene among 120 probands. Subsequently, pedigrees were extended, and we confirmed that the mutations co-segregated with the tooth agenesis phenotype (with exception of families in which DNA analysis was not available). In 1 family ( n = 6), 2 individuals harbored both the PAX9 c.592delG mutation and a heterozygous missense mutation (c.739C>T) in the MSX1 gene. Clinical characterization of families segregating a PAX9 mutation reveal that all affected individuals were missing the mandibular second molar and their maxillary central incisors are most susceptible to microdontia. A significant reduction of bitter taste perception was documented in individuals harboring PAX9 mutations ( n = 3). Functional studies revealed that PAX9 haploinsufficiency or a loss of function of the PAX9 protein underlies tooth agenesis.

Abstract
Acrylamide (ACR) is a chemical intermediate utilized in industry. ACR is also formed during heating of foods containing carbohydrates and amino acids. Therefore, humans are widely exposed to ACR, and ACR neurotoxicity in humans is a significant public health issue attracting wide attention. In this study, we investigated the potential neuroprotective effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant polyphenolic compound in green tea, in PC12 cells treated with ACR. ACR-treated PC12 cells pretreated with various concentrations of EGCG (2.5, 5 and 10 μM) for 24 h had increased viability and acetylcholinesterase activity and reduced apoptosis and necrosis compared to cells exposed to ACR alone. EGCG reduced the expression of bax mRNA, decreased cytochrome c release, reduced intracellular calcium levels, inactivated caspase 3 and increased mitochondrial membrane potential, suggesting that EGCG prevents ACR-induced apoptosis through a mitochondrial-mediated pathway. In addition, EGCG inhibited the formation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation while enhancing superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione levels, thereby reducing oxidative stress. Our results indicate that pretreatment of PC12 cells with EGCG attenuates ACR-induced apoptosis by reducing oxidative stress. Therefore, drinking green tea may reduce nerve injury induced by ACR.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has experienced an unprecedented advance in comprehensive analysis of proteins and posttranslational modifications, with particular technical progress in liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and isobaric labeling multiplexing capacity. Here, we introduce a deep proteomics profiling protocol that combines 10-plex tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling with an optimized LC-MS/MS platform to quantitate whole proteome and phosphoproteome. The major steps include protein extraction and digestion, TMT labeling, two-dimensional liquid chromatography, TiO2-mediated phosphopeptide enrichment, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and computational data processing. This protocol routinely leads to confident quantification of more than 10,000 proteins and approximately 30,000 phosphosites in mammalian samples. Quality control steps are implemented for troubleshooting and evaluating experimental variation. Such a multiplexed robust method provides a powerful tool for dissecting proteomic signatures at the systems level in a variety of complex samples, ranging from cell culture, animal tissues to human clinical specimens.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of peripheral blood monocytes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who underwent esophagectomy. Records from 218 consecutive patients with histologically diagnosed ESCC who underwent esophagectomy at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2007 to December 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. The median disease-free survival (DFS) of this cohort was 29.0 months, and the 5-year DFS rate was 34.4%. The median overall survival (OS) was 35.0 months, and the 5-year OS rate was 37.6%. The cut-off value of 0.42 × 109 /L for the absolute monocyte count (AMC) was chosen as optimal to discriminate between survival and death by applying receiver operating curve analysis. There were 131 patients (60.1%) who had high AMC (≥0.42 × 109 /L) preoperatively. We found that AMC was significantly associated with gender, tumor location, and platelet count. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of patients with high preoperative AMC had a significant worse prognosis for DFS (high vs. low: 27.5% vs. 39.0%, P = 0.015) and OS (high vs. low: 31.1% vs. 44.8%, P = 0.009) than those with low preoperative AMC. In a multivariate analysis, preoperative AMC was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (P = 0.025, hazard ratio [HR]: 1.469, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.050-2.054) and OS (P = 0.015, HR: 1.547, 95% CI: 1.088-2.200). In addition, among 140 patients without both preoperative and postoperative therapy, significantly worse OS (P = 0.012) and marginally reduced DFS (P = 0.079) were found in the high AMC cohort versus the low AMC cohort. A higher preoperative absolute peripheral monocyte count can be considered as a useful prognostic marker of ESCC patients who underwent esophagectomy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of embolic microspheres in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma. Fifty-eight patients who were confirmed with primary hepatic carcinoma by imaging were retrospectively analyzed. They were firstly perfused with 50 mg of oxaliplatin and 40 mg of epirubicin. Embolic microspheres were then injected into the distal end of targeted blood vessels. After this procedure, dynamic observation was carried out until tumor stain disappeared. Liver function and blood indexes were reexamined on days 5, 6, 7 and 28 after treatment, and moreover, the liver was examined with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). Compared to traditional lipiodol embolization, embolic microspheres did not aggregate the damage on liver function and the imaging examination suggested necrosis of some tumor tissues. Embolic microspheres proved to be effective in treating primary hepatic carcinoma. It produces no damage on liver function and can lead to significant shrinkage of hepatic carcinoma and necrosis of some tumor tissues. Embolic microspheres, which merely block distal branches of tumor-feeding artery, can avoid collateral circulation induced by permanent blocking, thus achieve a good treatment effect.

Abstract
Pulse pileup events degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of nuclear medicine data. When such events occur in multiplexed detectors, they cause spatial misposition, energy spectrum distortion and degraded timing resolution, which leads to image artifacts. Pulse pileup is pronounced in PETbox4, a bench top PET scanner dedicated to high sensitivity and high resolution imaging of mice. In that system, the combination of high absolute sensitivity, long scintillator decay time (BGO) and highly multiplexed electronics lead to a significant fraction of pulse pileup, reached at lower total activity than for comparable instruments. In this manuscript, a new pulse pileup rejection method named position shift rejection (PSR) is introduced. The performance of PSR is compared with a conventional leading edge rejection (LER) method and with no pileup rejection implemented (NoPR). A comprehensive digital pulse library was developed for objective evaluation and optimization of the PSR and LER, in which pulse waveforms were directly recorded from real measurements exactly representing the signals to be processed. Physical measurements including singles event acquisition, peak system sensitivity and NEMA NU-4 image quality phantom were also performed in the PETbox4 system to validate and compare the different pulse pile-up rejection methods. The evaluation of both physical measurements and model pulse trains demonstrated that the new PSR performs more accurate pileup event identification and avoids erroneous rejection of valid events. For the PETbox4 system, this improvement leads to a significant recovery of sensitivity at low count rates, amounting to about 1/4th of the expected true coincidence events, compared to the LER method. Furthermore, with the implementation of PSR, optimal image quality can be achieved near the peak noise equivalent count rate (NECR).

Abstract
Wnt signaling pathway is aberrantly activated in a variety of cancers, especially in colorectal cancer (CRC), because of mutations in the genes encoding adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), β-catenin and Axin. Small-molecule antagonists of Wnt/β-catenin signaling are attractive candidates for developing effective therapeutics for CRC. In this study, we have identified a novel Wnt signaling inhibitor, isopropyl 9-ethyl-1- (naphthalen-1-yl)-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3- carboxylate (Z86). Z86 inhibited Wnt reporter activities and the expression of endogenous Wnt signaling target genes in mammalian cells and antagonized the second axis formation of Xenopus embryos induced by Wnt8. We showed that Z86 treatment inhibits GSK3β (Ser9) phosphorylation, leading to its overactivation and promoting the phosphorylation and degradation of β-catenin. In vitro, Z86 selectively inhibited the growth of CRC cells with constitutive Wnt signaling and caused obvious G1-phase arrest of the cell cycle. Notably, in a nude mouse model, Z86 inhibited dramatically the xenografted tumor growth of CRC. Daily intraperitoneal injection of Z86 at 5 mg/kg resulted in >70% reduction in the tumor weight of HCT116 cell origin that was associated with decreased GSK3β (Ser9) phosphorylation and increased β-catenin phosphorylation. Taken together, our findings provide a novel promising chemotype for CRC therapeutics development targeting the canonical Wnt signaling.

Abstract
Oversegmentation is a major drawback of the morphological watershed algorithm. Here, we study and reveal that the oversegmentation is not only because of the irregular shapes of the particle images, which people are familiar with, but also because of some particles, such as ellipses, with more than one centre. A new parameter, the striping level, is introduced and the criterion for striping parameter is built to help find the right markers prior to segmentation. An adaptive striping watershed algorithm is established by applying a procedure, called the marker searching algorithm, to find the markers, which can effectively suppress the oversegmentation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by analysing some typical particle images including the images of gold nanorod ensembles.
