Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a frequently overlooked causative agent of acute hepatitis. Evaluating the long-term durability of hepatitis E vaccine efficacy holds crucial importance. METHODS This study was an extension to a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase-3 clinical trial of the hepatitis E vaccine conducted in Dontai County, Jiangsu, China. Participants were recruited from 11 townships in Dongtai County. In the initial trial, a total of 112 604 healthy adults aged 16-65 years were enrolled, stratified according to age and sex, and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive three doses of hepatitis E vaccine or placebo intramuscularly at month 0, month 1, and month 6. A sensitive hepatitis E surveillance system including 205 clinical sentinels, covering the entire study region, was established and maintained for 10 years after vaccination. The primary outcome was the per-protocol efficacy of hepatitis E virus vaccine to prevent confirmed hepatitis E occurring at least 30 days after administration of the third dose. Throughout the study, the participants, site investigators, and laboratory staff remained blinded to the treatment assignments. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01014845). FINDINGS During the 10-year study period from Aug 22, 2007, to Oct 31, 2017, 90 people with hepatitis E were identified; 13 in the vaccine group (0·2 per 10 000 person-years) and 77 in the placebo group (1·4 per 10 000 person-years), corresponding to a vaccine efficacy of 83·1% (95% CI 69·4-91·4) in the modified intention-to-treat analysis and 86·6% (73·0 to 94·1) in the per-protocol analysis. In the subsets of participants assessed for immunogenicity persistence, of those who were seronegative at baseline and received three doses of hepatitis E vaccine, 254 (87·3%) of 291 vaccinees in Qindong at the 8·5-year mark and 1270 (73·0%) of 1740 vaccinees in Anfeng at the 7·5-year mark maintained detectable concentrations of antibodies. INTERPRETATION Immunisation with this hepatitis E vaccine offers durable protection against hepatitis E for up to 10 years, with vaccine-induced antibodies against HEV persisting for at least 8·5 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The live-attenuated influenza virus vector-based intranasal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (dNS1-RBD, Pneucolin; Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise, Beijing, China) confers long-lasting and broad protection in animal models and is, to our knowledge, the first COVID-19 mucosal vaccine to enter into human trials, but its efficacy is still unknown. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy (but not the immunogenicity) of dNS1-RBD against COVID-19. METHODS We did a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive design, phase 3 trial at 33 centres (private or public hospitals, clinical research centres, or Centre for Disease Control and Prevention) in four countries (Colombia, Philippines, South Africa, and Viet Nam). Men and non-pregnant women (aged ≥18 years) were eligible if they had never been infected with SARS-CoV-2, and if they did not have a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination history at screening or if they had received at least one dose of other SARS-CoV-2 vaccines 6 months or longer before enrolment. Eligible adults were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive two intranasal doses of dNS1-RBD or placebo administered 14 days apart (0·2 mL per dose; 0·1 mL per nasal cavity), with block randomisation via an interactive web-response system, stratified by centre, age group (18-59 years or ≥60 years), and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination history. All participants, investigators, and laboratory staff were masked to treatment allocation. The primary outcomes were safety of dNS1-RBD in the safety population (ie, those who had received at least one dose of dNS1-RBD or placebo) and efficacy against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by RT-PCR occurring 15 days or longer after the second dose in the per-protocol population (ie, those who received two doses, were followed up for 15 days or longer after the second dose, and had no major protocol deviations). The success criterion was predefined as vaccine efficacy of more than 30%. This trial is registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100051391) and is completed. FINDINGS Between Dec 16, 2021, and May 31, 2022, 41 620 participants were screened for eligibility and 31 038 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned (15 517 in the vaccine group and 15 521 in the placebo group). 30 990 participants who received at least one dose (15 496 vaccine and 15 494 placebo) were included in the safety analysis. The results showed a favourable safety profile, with the most common local adverse reaction being rhinorrhoea (578 [3·7%] of 15 500 vaccine recipients and 546 [3·5%] of 15 490 placebo recipients) and the most common systemic reaction being headache (829 [5·3%] vaccine recipients and 797 [5·1%] placebo recipients). We found no differences in the incidences of adverse reactions between participants in the vaccine and placebo groups. No vaccination-related serious adverse events or deaths were observed. Among 30 290 participants who received two doses, 25 742 were included in the per-protocol efficacy analysis (12 840 vaccine and 12 902 placebo). The incidence of confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection caused by omicron variants regardless of immunisation history was 1·6% in the vaccine group and 2·3% in the placebo group, resulting in an overall vaccine efficacy of 28·2% (95% CI 3·4-46·6), with a median follow-up duration of 161 days. INTERPRETATION Although this trial did not meet the predefined efficacy criteria for success, dNS1-RBD was well tolerated and protective against omicron variants, both as a primary immunisation and as a heterologous booster.

Abstract
Special attention has been paid to Hepatitis E (HE) prophylaxis for pregnant women due to poor prognosis of HE in this population. We conducted a post-hoc analysis based on the randomized, double-blind, HE vaccine (Hecolin)-controlled phase 3 clinical trial of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (Cecolin) conducted in China. Eligible healthy women aged 18-45 years were randomly assigned to receive three doses of Cecolin or Hecolin and were followed up for 66 months. All the pregnancy-related events throughout the study period were closely followed up. The incidences of adverse events, pregnancy complications, and adverse pregnancy outcomes were analysed based on the vaccine group, maternal age, and interval between vaccination and pregnancy onset. During the study period, 1263 Hecolin receivers and 1260 Cecolin receivers reported 1684 and 1660 pregnancies, respectively. The participants in the two vaccine groups showed similar maternal and neonatal safety profiles, regardless of maternal age. Among the 140 women who were inadvertently vaccinated during pregnancy, the incidences of adverse reactions had no statistical difference between the two groups (31.8% vs 35.1%, p = 0.6782). The proximal exposure to HE vaccination was not associated with a significantly higher risk of abnormal foetal loss (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.38-1.70) or neonatal abnormality (OR 2.46, 95% CI 0.74-8.18) than that to HPV vaccination, as did distal exposure. Significant difference was not noted between pregnancies with proximal and distal exposure to HE vaccination. Conclusively, HE vaccination during or shortly before pregnancy is not associated with increased risks for both the pregnant women and pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants and "anatomical escape" characteristics threaten the effectiveness of current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. There is an urgent need to understand the immunological mechanism of broad-spectrum respiratory tract protection to guide broader vaccines development. Here we investigate immune responses induced by an NS1-deleted influenza virus vectored intranasal COVID-19 vaccine (dNS1-RBD) which provides broad-spectrum protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants in hamsters. Intranasal delivery of dNS1-RBD induces innate immunity, trained immunity and tissue-resident memory T cells covering the upper and lower respiratory tract. It restrains the inflammatory response by suppressing early phase viral load post SARS-CoV-2 challenge and attenuating pro-inflammatory cytokine (Il6, Il1b, and Ifng) levels, thereby reducing excess immune-induced tissue injury compared with the control group. By inducing local cellular immunity and trained immunity, intranasal delivery of NS1-deleted influenza virus vectored vaccine represents a broad-spectrum COVID-19 vaccine strategy to reduce disease burden.

Abstract
The specific antibodies induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection may provide protection against a subsequent infection. However, the efficacy and duration of protection provided by naturally acquired immunity against subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection remain controversial. We systematically searched for the literature describing COVID-19 reinfection published before 07 February 2022. The outcomes were the pooled incidence rate ratio (IRR) for estimating the risk of subsequent infection. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Statistical analyses were conducted using the R programming language 4.0.2. We identified 19 eligible studies including more than 3.5 million individuals without the history of COVID-19 vaccination. The efficacy of naturally acquired antibodies against reinfection was estimated at 84% (pooled IRR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.14-0.18), with higher efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 cases (pooled IRR = 0.09, 95% CI = 0.07-0.12) than asymptomatic infection (pooled IRR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.14-0.54). In the subgroup analyses, the pooled IRRs of COVID-19 infection in health care workers (HCWs) and the general population were 0.22 (95% CI = 0.16-0.31) and 0.14 (95% CI = 0.12-0.17), respectively, with a significant difference (P = 0.02), and those in older (over 60 years) and younger (under 60 years) populations were 0.26 (95% CI = 0.15–0.48) and 0.16 (95% CI = 0.14-0.19), respectively. The risk of subsequent infection in the seropositive population appeared to increase slowly over time. In conclusion, naturally acquired antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 can significantly reduce the risk of subsequent infection, with a protection efficacy of 84%. Registration number: CRD42021286222

Abstract
Background All currently available SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are administered by intramuscular injection. We aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a live-attenuated influenza virus vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (dNS1-RBD) administered by intranasal spray in healthy adults. Methods We did double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled phase 1 and 2 trials, followed by a phase 2 extension trial, at a single centre in Jiangsu, China. Healthy adults (≥18 years) who had negative serum or fingertip blood total antibody tests for SARS-CoV-2 (in phases 1 and 2), with no prevalent SARS-CoV-2 infection or history of infection and no SARS-CoV-2 vaccination history (in all three trials reported here), were enrolled. Participants were randomly allocated (4:1 in phase 1, 2:1 in phase 2, and 1:1 in the extension trial) to receive two intranasal doses of the dNS1-RBD vaccine or placebo on days 0 and 14 or, for half of the participants in phase 2, on days 0 and 21. To avoid cross-contamination during administration, vaccine and placebo recipients were vaccinated in separate rooms in the extension trial. The phase 1 primary outcome was safety (adverse events recorded on days 0–44; serious adverse events recorded from day 0 until 12 months after the second dose). In the phase 2 and extension trials, the primary immunogenicity outcomes were SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell response in peripheral blood (measured by IFN-γ ELISpot), proportion of participants with positive conversion for SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD)-specific IgG and secretory IgA (s-IgA) antibodies, and concentration of SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgG in serum and SARS-CoV-2 RBD s-IgA in the nasopharynx (measured by ELISA) at 1 month after the second dose in the per-protocol set for immunogenicity. χ2 test and Fisher's exact test were used to analyse categorical data, and t test and Wilcoxon rank sum test to compare the measurement data between groups. These trials were registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000037782, ChiCTR2000039715, and ChiCTR2100048316). Findings Between Sept 1, 2020, and July 4, 2021, 63, 724, and 297 participants without a history of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination were enrolled in the phase 1, phase 2, and extension trials, respectively. At least one adverse reaction after vaccination was reported in 133 (19%) of 684 participants in the vaccine groups. Most adverse reactions were mild. No vaccine-related serious adverse event was noted. Specific T-cell immune responses were observed in 211 (46% [95% CI 42–51]) of 455 vaccine recipients in the phase 2 trial, and in 48 (40% [31–49]) of 120 vaccine recipients compared with one (1% [0–5]) of 111 placebo recipients (p<0·0001) in the extension trial. Seroconversion for RBD-specific IgG was observed in 48 (10% [95% CI 8–13]) of 466 vaccine recipients in the phase 2 trial (geometric mean titre [GMT] 3·8 [95% CI 3·4–4·3] in responders), and in 31 (22% [15–29]) of 143 vaccine recipients (GMT 4·4 [3·3–5·8]) and zero (0% [0–2]) of 147 placebo recipients (p<0·0001) in the extension trial. 57 (12% [95% CI 9–16]) of 466 vaccine recipients had positive conversion for RBD-specific s-IgA (GMT 3·8 [95% CI 3·5–4·1] in responders) in the phase 2 trial, as did 18 (13% [8–19]) of 143 vaccine recipients (GMT 5·2 [4·0–6·8]) and zero (0% [0–2]) of 147 placebo recipients (p<0·0001) in the extension trial. Interpretation dNS1-RBD was well tolerated in adults. Weak T-cell immunity in peripheral blood, as well as weak humoral and mucosal immune responses against SARS-CoV-2, were detected in vaccine recipients. Further studies are warranted to verify the safety and efficacy of intranasal vaccines as a potential supplement to current intramuscular SARS-CoV-2 vaccine pools. Steps should be taken in future studies to reduce the potential for cross-contamination caused by the vaccine strain aerosol during administration.

Abstract
Remarkable progress has been made in developing intramuscular vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); however, they are limited with respect to eliciting local immunity in the respiratory tract, which is the primary infection site for SARS-CoV-2. To overcome the limitations of intramuscular vaccines, we constructed a nasal vaccine candidate based on an influenza vector by inserting a gene encoding the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, named CA4-dNS1-nCoV-RBD (dNS1-RBD). A preclinical study showed that in hamsters challenged 1 d after single-dose vaccination or 9 months after booster vaccination, dNS1-RBD largely mitigated lung pathology, with no loss of body weight. Moreover, such cellular immunity is relatively unimpaired for the most concerning SARS-CoV-2 variants, especially for the latest Omicron variant. In addition, this vaccine also provides cross-protection against H1N1 and H5N1 influenza viruses. The protective immune mechanism of dNS1-RBD could be attributed to the innate immune response in the nasal epithelium, local RBD-specific T cell response in the lung, and RBD-specific IgA and IgG response. Thus, this study demonstrates that the intranasally delivered dNS1-RBD vaccine candidate may offer an important addition to the fight against the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and influenza infection, compensating limitations of current intramuscular vaccines.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have very successfully decreased the disease risk as we know; some key information remains unknown due to the short development history and the lack of long-term follow-up studies in vaccinated populations. One of the unanswered issues is the protection duration conferred after COVID-19 vaccination, which appears to play a pivotal role in the future impact of pathogens and is critical to inform the public health response and policy decisions. Here, we review current information on the long-term effectiveness of different COVID-19 vaccines, persistence of immunogenicity, and gaps in knowledge. Meanwhile, we also discuss the influencing factors and future study prospects on this topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains largely unrecognized and underemphasized in medical practice. This study aimed to describe the maternal CMV seroprevalence rate in early gestation and congenital CMV infection in a Chinese population. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study that was conducted in three hospitals in China from 2015 through 2018. Pregnant women were enrolled in early gestation and followed up in middle and late gestation with serological testing. CMV serostatus was determined by IgG testing in serum during early gestation. Their newborns were screened and confirmed for cCMV infection by real-time PCR testing in both saliva and urine at two time points. The cCMV prevalence, maternal seroprevalence and associated factors were analyzed. RESULTS In China, the CMV seroprevalence was 98.11% (6602/6729, 95% CI: 97.76%-98.41%), and the cCMV prevalence was 1.32% (84/6350, 95% CI: 1.07%-1.64%). Over 98% of cCMV-positive newborns were from pregnant women who were seropositive in early gestation in China. The prevalence of cCMV infection in newborns from seropositive and seronegative pregnant women was similar (crude prevalence: 1.33% vs 0.82%, P=1.00; estimated prevalence: 1.29% vs 1.05%, P=0.42). Pregnant women who were under 25 years old or primiparous had a lower seroprevalence. Newborns from pregnant women under 25 years old or from twin pregnancies had a higher prevalence of cCMV infection. CONCLUSION In China, the cCMV prevalence was high, and the rates were similar in newborns from pregnant women who were seropositive and seronegative in early gestation. The vast majority of cCMV newborns were from seropositive mothers.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02645396..

Abstract
Objective: Platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFRA) mutations are respectively rare in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Most GIST with PDGFRA exon 18 mutations including D842V mutation are highly resistant to imatinib. The treatment of GIST harboring PDGFRA primary drug-resistant mutation is a major challenge. This article aims to investigate clinicopathologic features of GIST with PDGFRA-D842V mutation and the efficacy of comprehensive treatment, providing a reference for clinical practice. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect the clinicopathological and follow-up data of patients with GIST harboring PDGFRA mutation who were diagnosed and treated in the GIST Clinic of Renji Hospital from January 2005 to May 2020. According to the mutation site, the enrolled patients were divided into D842V mutation group and non-D842V mutation group. The differences of clinicopathologic characteristics between the two groups were compared. Furthermore, overall survival and prognostic factors were analyzed. Results: A total of 71 patients with PDGFRA-mutant GIST were included in this study, including 47 cases of D842V mutation (66.2%) and 24 cases of non-D842V mutation (33.8%). There were 28 male patients and 19 female patients in D842V mutation group, with a median age of 60 (36-82) years. There were 16 male patients and 8 female patients in non-D842V mutation group, with a median age of 62 (30-81) years. There were no significant differences in age, gender, primary location, surgical procedure, tumor size, mitotic count, expression of CD117 and DOG1, Ki-67 proliferation index and modified NIH grade between the two groups (all P>0.05). The positive rate of CD34 was 89.4% (42/47) and 62.5% (15/24) in the D842V mutation group and the non-D842V mutation group, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ(2)=5.644, P=0.018). Among all the cases, 66 cases underwent R0 resection without preoperative treatment; two cases underwent emergency operation with R1 resection because of tumor rupture; 2 cases were not operated after the pathological and mutation types were confirmed by biopsy (one case received avapritinib treatment and obtain partial remission). One case was diagnosed as wild-type GIST per needle biopsy in another institute, and underwent R0 resection after preoperative imatinib treatment for 6 months. After surgery, 5 high-risk GIST patients with D842V mutation and 5 high-risk GIST patients with non-D842V mutation were treated with imatinib for more than one year. The median follow-up time was 37 (1-153) months. As of the last follow-up among the patients who received R0 resection, 4 patients with D842V mutation had relapse, of whom 1 was in the period of imatinib administration, and the 3-year relapse-free survival rate was 94.2%; none of the patients with non-D842V mutation had relapse. There was no statistically significant difference in relapse-free surivval between two groups (P=0.233). Univariate analysis revealed that mitotic count (P=0.002), Ki-67 proliferation index (P<0.001) and modified NIH grade (P=0.025) were the factors associated with relapse-free survival of patients with D842V mutation after R0 resection (all P<0.05). However, the above factros were not testified as independant prognostic facors in multivariate Cox analysis (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Clinicopathologic features and the efficacy of radical resection in patients with PDGFRA-D842V mutation are similar to those in patients with non-D842V mutation.

Abstract
Abstract The estimation of postmortem interval (PMI) is a core issue in forensic practice. A large amount of time-dependent data can be produced in the decomposition process of a body, however, such multidimensional data cannot be comprehensively and effectively analyzed and utilized by any existing conventional PMI estimation method. As a rapidly developing information technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has significant advantages in big data processing, due to it's comprehensiveness, efficiency and automation. Some scholars have already applied it to researches on the estimation of PMI, showing it's significant advantages in terms of accuracy and development prospect. This article reviews the significance, mode and progress of application of AI in PMI estimation and provides some suggestions and prospects for future study.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the significance of monitoring imatinib mesylate (IM) plasma concentrations in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was carried out. Inclusion criteria: (1) patients with GIST confirmed by postoperative pathology or puncture pathology receiving maintenance therapy of IM; (2) administration of same dose of IM for at least 4 weeks (achieving steady - state plasma concentration). Patients who had severe organ dysfunction, received IM generics, or received IM simultaneously with other drugs significantly affecting IM pharmacokinetic were excluded. A total of 185 patients at the GIST Clinic of Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from August 2018 to May 2019 were enrolled, including 114 males (61.6%) and 71 females (38.4%) with a median age of 60 years old (range, 30-89 years), and 63 advanced cases. Patients receiving preoperative or postoperative adjuvant therapy were given IM 400 mg QD; patients with KIT exon 9 mutation or with disease progression during IM 400 mg QD treatment were given IM 600 mg QD. If the patient had adverse reactions such as myelosuppression during the medication, IM would be reduced or given BID per day. The peripheral venous blood was collected (22 to 24 hours after the last dose for patients who took IM QD and 2 hours before the first dose per day for those who took IM BID). IM plasma concentration was measured through high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Correlation analysis between IM plasma concentration results and clinical data was performed using linear regression analysis. Results: A total of 241 stable blood samples of IM plasma concentration from 185 patients were finally collected. The IM plasma concentrations were significantly different between the doses of 300 mg/d and 400 mg/d [(942.4±433.5) μg/L vs. (1340.0±500.1) μg/L, t=6.317, P<0.001], and between 400 mg/d and 600 mg/d [(1340.0±500.1) μg/L vs. (2188.0±875.5) μg/L, t=3.557, P=0.004]. Among the blood samples of 57 patients receiving IM 300 mg/d, the IM plasma concentration of the advanced patients was significantly lower than that of the non-advanced patients [(795.6±225.8) μg/L vs. (992.2±484.4) μg/L, t=2.088, P=0.042]. Among the 137 blood samples of patients receiving IM 400 mg/d, the IM plasma concentration was higher in patients aged >60 years than those aged ≤60 years [(1461.0±595.3) μg/L vs. (1240.0±380.9) μg/L, t=2.528, P=0.013] and the IM plasma concentration of cases with diarrhea was significantly lower than that of those without diarrhea [(745.8±249.6) μg/L vs. (1382.0±486.9) μg/L, t=6.794, P<0.001]. Gender, primary location, surgical procedure, mutated gene, mutation type, or time of administration was associated with IM plasma concentration no matter in patients taking IM doses of 400 mg/d or 300 mg/d (all P>0.05). Regression analysis showed that body mass (P=0.004 and P=0.019), body mass index (P=0.016 and P=0.042), and body surface area (P=0.007 and P=0.028) were all negatively correlated with IM plasma concentrations in patients taking IM doses of 300 mg/d and 400 mg/d. Within the 137 patients who received a fixed oral dose of 400 mg/d IM, 17 patients received oral 200 mg BID, whose IM plasma drug concentration was not significantly different compared with that of 120 patients who received 400 mg IM QD [(1488.0±408.3) μg/L vs. (1319.0±509.7) μg/L, t=1.307, P=0.193]. Conclusions: Monitoring IM plasma concentration is significant throughout the whole process of management of GIST patients receiving IM treatment. In particular, regular monitoring IM plasma concentration and developing appropriate treatment strategies can bring better therapeutic benefits for patients with low doses, diarrhea, advanced condition and older age.

Abstract
Anal cancer is primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in both men and women. However, little is known about the sex differences in the natural history of anal HPV infection in a heterosexual population. From May 2014 to March 2016, perianal/anal canal (PA) swab samples were collected semiannually from 2,302 heterosexual men and 2,371 heterosexual women aged 18-55 years old in Liuzhou, China. The specimens were genotyped for HPV DNA by polymerase chain reaction. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) and clearance rate ratio (CRR) were used to analyze the sex differences of incidence and clearance by Poisson regression, respectively. The incidences of PA oncogenic HPV in men and women were 3.4 per 1,000 person-months and 8.6 per 1,000 person-months, respectively, with an IRR of 0.39 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.29-0.54 for men versus women) (p < 0.0001). The CRR of PA oncogenic HPV infection for men versus women was 1.54 (95% CI, 1.17-2.03) (p = 0.0022). At 12 months, 44% (20/45) of HPV 16/18 infections among women remained positive, whereas no (0/7) infections persisted among men (p = 0.0350). Both the higher incidence and slower clearance of anal carcinogenic HPV infection among women may lead to a higher burden of anal cancer among women than among men in a heterosexual population.

Abstract
Introduction There are several classifications for abdominal hernias, and a non-traumatic lateral wall hernia (LAWH) is a rare type. We report the first case of a patient with LAWH infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Case History A 53-year-old HIV-infected male presented with an abdominal mass. The patient had a history of treatment with combination antiretroviral therapy. A LAWH was diagnosed based on physical examination and findings of computed tomography. Open mesh repair was undertaken successfully. The patient had no evidence of a recurrent hernia during 11 months of follow-up. Conclusions High intra-abdominal pressure and weak connective tissue can lead to LAWHs. Antiretroviral therapy and lipodystrophy can cause LAWHs in HIV-infected patients.

Abstract
AIM Donor organ injury during cold preservation before transplantation negatively impacts graft survival. The current study was to examine available evidences for the efficacy of different cold storage solutions that are used to preserve donor hearts in vitro prior to orthotopic transplantation. METHODS A systematic search of full-length articles published from 1980 to August 2012 was performed in PubMed and Google Scholar. Detailed searches were also made for availability of any sourceware for histopathology images of endomyocardial biopsies of stored hearts. RESULTS Not even a single controlled trial has been published relating to this topic. However, we assessed all available literature pertaining to this topic, and performed original, simple yet innovative analyses using ImageJ, a Java based image analyses program, to show the tremendous power to objectively examine the efficacy of the storage solution. Our analysis suggest that ImageJ may be conveniently used to obtain evidences (or lack of it) of ischemic injury of donor hearts during cold storage. CONCLUSION Even the UNOS database does not provide histopathological evidences of cardiac biopsies of orthotopically transplanted hearts. We, however, make the case of the need for image analyses and making availability of images to allow establishing evidence of the usefulness of these storage solutions. We recommend obtaining endomyocardial biopsy prior to orthotopic transplantation and create a registry of H&E stained slides. This is the only step that will direct us towards evidence based care of such highly critical patients who need the equally challenging surgical intervention of cardiac transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is the most potent proangiogenic molecule promoting the angiogenic phenotype of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We hypothesized that VEGFA polymorphisms may contribute to RA susceptibility. METHOD We studied VEGFA rs699947 C/A, rs2010963 G/C, and rs3025039 C/T gene polymorphisms in 329 patients with RA and 697 controls in a Chinese population. Genotyping was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). RESULTS VEGFA rs699947 C/A, rs2010963 G/C, and rs3025039 C/T polymorphisms were not associated with the risk of RA. However, in the dominant genetic model, a significantly decreased risk for RA associated with the VEGFA rs699947 CA/AA genotypes was evident among older patients and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA)-negative patients compared with the VEGFA rs699947 CC genotype. A significantly decreased risk for RA associated with the VEGFA rs699947 CA genotype was evident among older patients. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) VEGFA rs699947 C/A allele may decrease the risk of RA in older patients and ACPA-negative patients. However, our results were obtained from a moderate-sized sample and therefore this is a preliminary conclusion. Validation by a larger study from a more diverse ethnic population is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To elucidate the safety and efficacy of exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) for the protection of photoreceptor cells in a rat model of retinal detachment (RD). METHODS Recombinant rat EPO (400 ng) was injected into the vitreous cavity of normal rats to observe the eye manifestations. Retinal function was assessed by flash electroretinograms. Histopathological examination of retinal tissue was performed at 14 days and 2 months after injection, respectively. To investigate the inhibitory effect of EPO on photoreceptor cell apoptosis in RD rats, 100, 200, or 400 ng EPO was injected into the vitreous cavity immediately after RD model establishment. Apoptosis of photoreceptor cells was determined at 3 days after injection. Caspase-3 activation was measured by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence, respectively, and the level of Bcl-X(L) expression was analyzed by western blot. RESULTS Intravitreal injection of EPO 400 ng into normal rats had no significant impact on retinal function, morphology, or structure. Apoptosis of retinal photoreceptor cells apparently increased after RD and was significantly reduced following EPO treatment. The thickness of the outer nuclear layer in the RD + 400 ng group was significantly thicker than that in other experimental RD groups both at 14 days and at 2 months after RD (P < 0.05). Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses showed decreased caspase-3 activation and increased Bcl-X(L) expression following EPO treatment. CONCLUSION Intravitreal injection of EPO 400 ng is safe, and EPO may suppress caspase-3 activation and enhance Bcl-X(L) expression, resulting in inhibition of apoptosis and protection of photoreceptor cells.

Abstract
The WNK (with no lysine kinase) protein kinase gene family may be involved in regulating ion homeostasis and other physiological processes in mammals. WNK-like genes have also been identified in plants, including nine in Arabidopsis, designated AtWNK1-AtWNK9. However, it is not clear if there are further plant WNK genes, and what the evolutionary relationships are among these genes, nor if these genes have functions other than their roles in regulating circadian rhythms and vacuolar H(+)-ATPase. In the present study, we found a tenth Arabidopsis WNK gene, designated AtWNK10. Further phylogenetic analysis of Arabidopsis and rice WNK genes suggests that the most recent common ancestor of monocots and eudicots had 4-8 WNK genes, and that the WNK gene family has experienced duplication events and possible gene losses. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed that all Arabidopsis WNK genes except AtWNK6 are expressed in organs from the seedling to the flowering plant. T-DNA knockout mutations in the AtWNK2, AtWNK5 and AtWNK8 genes in different phylogenetic clades caused early flowering. In contrast, a T-DNA knockout wnk1 mutant had a much delayed flowering time. In addition, the transcript levels of several genes in the photoperiod pathway for flowering, such as ELF4, TOC1, CO and FT, were altered in atwnk mutants. Taken together, our results suggest that the Arabidopsis WNK gene family regulates flowering time by modulating the photoperiod pathway.

Abstract
A lectin (APL) was isolated from the mushroom Amantia pantherina by means of hydrophobic chromatography on Butyl-Toyopearl, affinity chromatography on bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM)-Toyopearl and gel filtration on Superose 12 HR10/30 using a FPLC system. This lectin is composed of two identical subunits of 22 kDa and the molecular mass of the intact lectin was estimated to be 43 kDa by gel filtration. In hemagglutination inhibition assays, it exhibits sugar-binding specificities towards GlcNAc beta 1-->4Man beta-pNP, Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc, and Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc beta 1-->4GlcNAc among mono- and oligosaccharides tested. Among glycoproteins tested, BSM and asialo-BSM were the strongest inhibitors.

Abstract
Two chemical modification procedures, Smith degradation and formolysis processes, were used in an attempt to improve the antitumor activity of water-soluble and water-insoluble polysaccharides prepared from the fruiting body of niohshimeji, Tricholoma giganteum. The chemically modified products were examined for their antitumor effects on Sarcoma 180 solid tumor implanted in mice. The following results were as follows: Some Smith degradation products, i.e., O-R-Flo-c-beta and O-R-FA-2 prepared from water-soluble polysaccharides, and O-R-FII-1 and O-R-FIII-2-c from water-insoluble polysaccharides, had higher antitumor activities than the original polysaccharides. None of the formolysis products, F-Flo-a, F-W-Flo-a, F-FA-3, F-W-FA-3 from water-soluble polysaccharides, and F-FII-2, F-W-FII-2, F-FIII-2-b, and F-W-FIII-2-b prepared from water-insoluble polysaccharides had improved antitumor activities.

Abstract
Water-soluble polysaccharide FI and water-insoluble polysaccharides FII, FIII-1, and FIII-2 were obtained from fruiting bodies of Tricholoma giganteum. Polysaccharides were further fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and affinity chromatography. The 24 polysaccharide fractions obtained were examined for their antitumor effect on Sarcoma 180 implanted in mice. The following antitumor-active polysaccharides were identified: FIo-a, a mixture of alpha-D-glucan and xyloglucomannan with an average molecular weight of 1.6 x 10(6); FA-1, a beta-D-glucan containing 1% protein and with a molecular weight of 4.0 x 10(4); FII-1, a (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan containing 7.8% protein, with a molecular weight of 5.2 x 10(4); FIII-1-b, a protein-polysaccharide complex (ratio, 37.5:62.5, w/w), with a molecular weight of 6.8 x 10(4) and with xylose, galactose, mannose, and glucose in the polysaccharide moiety (proportions of 8.9:14.9:29.3:46.9 by weight), and FIII-2-a, b, and c, three (1-->6)-beta-D-glucosyl-branched (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans with a molecular weight from 2.6 x 10(5) to 4.1 x 10(5) and containing small amounts of xylose and galactose and 3.5-8.3% protein.

Abstract
Neutral and acidic polysaccharides and their protein complexes were fractionated and purified from the brown seaweed umitoranoo (Sargassum thunbergii) by fractional extraction, iron-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. Thirty-one polysaccharide fractions were obtained and tested for antitumor activity in mice with Ehrlich carcinoma transplanted i.p. Two of the fractions, GIV-A ([alpha]25D -127 degrees and mol. wt., 19,000) and GIV-B ([alpha]25D -110 degrees and mol. wt., 13,500) had such activity. On the basis of chemical and spectral analyses, these compounds were found to be a fucoidan or L-fucan containing approx. 30% sulfate ester groups per fucose residue, about 10% uronic acid, and less than 2% protein.

Abstract
Genetic and developmental effects of heavy ions in maize and rice were investigated. Heavy particles with various charges and energies were accelerated at the BEVALAC. The frequency of occurrence of white-yellow stripes on leaves of plants developed from irradiated maize seeds increased linearly with dose, and high-LET heavy charged particles, e.g., neon, argon, and iron, were 2-12 times as effective as gamma rays in inducing this type of mutation. The effectiveness of high-LET heavy ion in (1) inhibiting rice seedling growth, (2) reducing plant fertility, (3) inducing chromosome aberration and micronuclei in root tip cells and pollen mother cells of the first generation plants developed from exposed seeds, and (4) inducing mutation in the second generation, were greater than that of low-LET gamma rays. All effects observed were dose-dependent; however, there appeared to be an optimal range of doses for inducing certain types of mutation, for example, for argon ions (400 MeV/u) at 90-100 Gy, several valuable mutant lines with favorable characters, such as semidwarf, early maturity and high yield ability, were obtained. Experimental results suggest that the potential application of heavy ions in crop improvement is promising. RFLP analysis of two semidwarf mutants induced by argon particles revealed that large DNA alterations might be involved in these mutants.

Abstract
A water-soluble polysaccharide, FI, extracted from the mycelium of Granoderma tsugae, was fractionated and purified by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and affinity chromatography. Sixteen polysaccharides obtained were examined for antitumor effects on Sarcoma 180 in mice. The three active polysaccharides obtained were as follows: FIo-a: A glycan-protein complex containing 9.3% protein, and having a hetero-glyco-chain of mannose and xylose. FIo-b-alpha: Molecular weight 10,000, glucan-protein complex containing 25.8% protein. The inhibition ratio was 61.8% against the solid cancer Sarcoma 180/mice; the survival ratio was more than 194% of the control group (100). FA-1-b-alpha: Molecular weight 16,000, a complex of glycan:protein = 42:58 w/w, consisting of glucose as a main component, and associated with arabinose, mannose, xylose, and galactose. This had a tumor inhibition ratio of 56% and a survival ratio of more than 182%. Comparison of active glycan with the fruiting body and mycelium: Among water-soluble polysaccharides of fruiting body, FIo-a and FA-1, with antitumor activity, were both glucogalactan-protein complexes of molecular weight 10,000, but that of mycelium was a homoglucan protein complex in FIo-b-alpha and heteroglucan protein in both FA-1-a and FA-1-b-alpha. The heteroglucan had a low tumor inhibition ratio, but caused a high survival ratio in mice.

Abstract
A water-soluble polysaccharide, FI, and water-insoluble polysaccharides, FII and FIII were extracted from Pleurotus citrinopileatus mushrooms. After fractionation, the antitumor activity of the fractions against Sarcoma 180 implanted in mice were examined, and the following active polysaccharides were obtained: Water-soluble polysaccharides FIo: A heteropolysaccharide containing 9.8% protein, and composed of glucose, mannose, arabinose, and galactose. FA-2-b-beta: A glycoprotein consisting of glycan:protein = 40:60 w/w, with the glyco-chain composed of glucose, xylose, mannose, galactose, and fucose. FA-3: A glycoprotein consisting of glycan:protein = 50:50 w/w, and glycan moiety consisting of glucose, galactose, xylose, mannose, and fucose. Water-insoluble polysaccharides. FIII-1: Protein-containing beta-D-glucans, FIII-1-a, and -b were obtained from FIII-1 by gel filtration, composed of glucan:protein = 80:20, and 68:32 w/w, respectively. The glucan moieties of both were almost all (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan, and their molecular weights were 68 x 10(4) and 40 x 10(4). FIII-2: Protein-containing beta-D-glucans, FIII-2-a, and -b, were obtained from FIII-2 by gel filtration, with molecular weights 190 x 10(4) and 120 x 10(4), respectively. Both were almost all composed of glucan:protein = 87:13 w/w. Both glucan moieties were mainly (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan.

Abstract
A systematic method of extraction, fractionation, and purification of polysaccharides from Songshan Lingzhi (Ganoderma tsugae) with antitumor activity was established. Seven glycans with strong antitumor activities were obtained from 14 water-soluble, and 15 water-insoluble fractions: FIo-a, FA-1, FII-1, FIII-2, and FIII-2-a, -b, and -c. FIo-a and FA-1 were protein-containing glucogalactans associated with mannose and fucose. FII-1 was a (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan having a lower protein content. The water-insoluble fractions FIII-2-a, -b, and -c were extracted with alkali, and were found to be protein-containing (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans showing the strongest activity. Chemical properties and structure of each antitumor polysaccharide were compared with three fungi of the Ganoderma family, Kofukitake (G. applanatum), Mannentake (G. lucidum), and Songshan Lingzhi (G. tsugae).

Abstract
The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) properties of numerous oxidation and ligation state derivatives of myoglobin and horseradish peroxidase reconstituted with an iron octa-alkylporphyrin (mesoheme IX) have been investigated in order to establish the utility of such porphyrins as models for protoporphyrin IX-containing systems. The MCD spectra of the mesoheme-reconstituted proteins are blue-shifted (4-12 nm) and are somewhat more intense (1.5-2.5 fold) when compared to the spectra of analogous derivatives of native myoglobin and horseradish peroxidase. However, the spectral band patterns of the mesoheme-reconstituted proteins closely resemble those of the native proteins in essentially all cases. These data demonstrate that octa-alkylporphyrins can be productively used as models for protoporphyrin IX in studies of heme proteins with MCD spectroscopy.
