Abstract
Objective: To explore the diagnosis, surgical management and outcome of jugular foramen chondrosarcoma (CSA). Methods: Fifteen patients with jugular foramen CSA hospitalized in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of Chinese PLA General Hospital from December 2002 to February 2020 were retrospectively collected,of whom 2 were male and 13 were female, aging from 22 to 61 years old. The clinical symptoms and signs, imaging features, differential diagnosis, surgical approaches, function of facial nerve and cranial nerves IX to XII, and surgical outcomes were analyzed. Results: Patients with jugular foramen CSA mainly presented with facial paralysis, hearing loss, hoarseness, cough, tinnitus and local mass. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) could provide important information for diagnosis. CT showed irregular destruction on bone margin of the jugular foramen. MR demonstrated iso or hypointense on T1WI, hyperintense on T2WI and heterogeneous contrast-enhancement. Surgical approaches were chosen upon the sizes and scopes of the tumors. Inferior temporal fossa A approach was adopted in 12 cases, inferior temporal fossa B approach in 2 cases and mastoid combined parotid approach in 1 case. Five patients with facial nerve involved received great auricular nerve graft. The House Brackmann (H-B) grading scale was used to evaluate the facial nerve function. Preoperative facial nerve function ranked grade Ⅴ in 4 cases and grade Ⅵ in 1 case. Postoperative facial nerve function improved to grade Ⅲ in 2 cases and grade Ⅵ in 3 cases. Five patients presented with cranial nerves Ⅸ and Ⅹ palsies. Hoarseness and cough of 2 cases improved after operation, while the other 3 cases did not. All the patients were diagnosed CSA by histopathology and immunohistochemistry, with immunohistochemical staining showing vimentin and S-100 positive, but cytokeratin negative in tumor cells. All patients survived during 28 to 234 months' follow-up. Two patients suffered from tumor recurrence 7 years after surgery and received revision surgery. No complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage and intracranial infection occurred after operation. Conclusions: Jugular foramen CSA lacks characteristic symptoms or signs. Imaging is helpful to differential diagnosis. Surgery is the primary treatment of jugular foramen CSA. Patients with facial paralysis should receive surgery in time as to restore the facial nerve. Long-term follow-up is necessary after surgery in case of recurrence.

Abstract
In order to verify the correlation between Polygonum multiflorum-induced liver injury and HLA-B*35 : 01 alleles, six hospitalized patients diagnosed with Polygonum multiflorum-induced liver injury (PM-DILI) were selected, and their clinicopathological data were collected. Simultaneously, blood HLA-B* 35 : 01 allele detection was performed. Among the six PM-DILI cases, 4 were male, aged 38.83 ± 10.13 years old. The types of liver injury were hepatocellular injury types in all, and the severity of liver injury in five cases was grade 3. The histological presentations were acute hepatitis and acute cholestatic hepatitis. PM-DILI cases were all HLA-B*35:01 carriers, with a carrier rate of 100%. This finding indicates that PM-DILI is significantly correlated with HLA-B*35:01 alleles. Therefore, HLA-B*35 : 01 alleles can be used as an important predictive indicator for PM-DILI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of mitochondrial metabolic functions of macrophages following Echinococcus multilocularis infections, so as to provide insights into the pathogenesis of alveolar echinococcosis. METHODS Two groups were assigned according to different treatment methods. In the culture group, mouse leukemic monocyte macrophage RAW264.7 cells were cultured with 2 000 E. multilocularis at a ratio of 500∶1, while RAW264.7 cells in the control group were given no treatment. Then, both the culture and control groups were further divided into the 24 h and 72 h subgroups. Mitochondria were stained with MitoTracker® Deep Red FM and the mean fluorescence intensity of macrophage mitochondria was measured with the Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader. The mitochondrial DNA copy number was quantified using the quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay, and the mitochondrial energy metabolism was monitored using the Seahorse XF assay. In addition, the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected using flow cytometry. RESULTS The mean fluorescence intensities of macrophage mitochondria were significantly lower in the 24 h (15 341 ± 2 532 vs. 17 823 ± 3 429; t = 6.379, P < 0.01) and 72 h (18 102 ± 3 505 vs. 21 511 ± 5 144; t = 17.680, P < 0.01) culture subgroups than in the corresponding control subgroups, and lower mitochondrial DNA copy numbers were measured in the 72 h culture subgroup than in the 72 h control group [(3.23 × 109 ± 1.78 × 107) vs. (4.39 × 109 ± 3.70 × 107); t = 8.85, P < 0.001]. The oxygen consumption rates were significantly greater in the 24 h [(241.70 ± 73.13) pmol/min vs. (69.05 ± 52.30) pmol/min; t = 7.89, P < 0.01] and 48 h culture groups [(249.50 ± 42.06) pmol/min vs. (60.28 ± 40.66) pmol/min; t = 8.64, P < 0.01] than in the corresponding control groups, and a higher extracellular acidification rate was seen in the 48 h culture group than in the 48 h control group ([ 111.6 ± 17.49) mpH/min vs. (35.05 ± 7.57) mpH/min; t = 16.90, P < 0.01]. In addition, flow cytometry detected higher mean fluorescence intensity of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (58 264 ± 10 087 vs. 4 307 ± 97; t = 12.930, P < 0.01) and lower mitochondrial membrane potential (9.833% ± 2.285% vs. 2.667% ± 0.208%; t = 6.645, P < 0.01) in the 72 h culture group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS E. multilocularis infection may impair mitochondrial functions and inhibit oxidative phosphorylation of macrophages, resulting in increased macrophage glycolysis. It is speculated that the alteration of macrophage metabolic states may contribute to the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of alveolar echinococcosis.

Abstract
Two novel actinobacterial strains, designated as E257T and K478T, were isolated from hyper-arid soil samples collected in Cholistan Desert, Pakistan. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA genes showed that strains E257T and K478T were assigned to the genus Motilibacter, being their closest relative M. rhizosphaerae RS-16T with 97.3% and 96.7% similarities, respectively. The sequence similarity between strain E257T and K478T was 98.9%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and phylogenomic analysis based on multiple genes of conserved core proteins exhibited that these two strains belonged to the genus Motilibacter and formed a robust cluster separated from the two type species of the genus Motilibacter. Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI), Average Amino acid Identity (AAI), digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values and Percentage of Conserved Proteins (POCP) calculated from the complete genome sequences indicated strains E257T and K478T were assigned into genus Motilibacter but clearly separated from each other and from the other species of the genus Motilibacter with values below the thresholds for species delineation. The two isolates were found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties consistent with their classification in the genus Motilibacter and also confirmed the differentiation from their closest species. The obtained results demonstrated that strains E257T and K478T represent two novel species of the genus Motilibacter, for which the names Motilibacter desertisp. nov. (type strain E257T = JCM 33651T = CGMCC 1.17159T) and Motilibacter aurantiacus sp. nov. (type strain K478T =JCM 33652T =CGMCC 1.17229T) are proposed.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, non-mycelium-forming, motile, rod-shaped with one polar flagellum actinobacterium, designated E918T, was isolated from a desert soil collected in Cholistan desert, Pakistan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain E918T belonged to the genus Arthrobacter and was most closely related to Arthrobacter deserti CGMCC 1.15091T (97.2 % similarity). The peptidoglycan was of the A3α type and the whole-cell sugar profile was found to contain galactose. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H2). The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids identified were anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 68.69 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain E918T and A. deserti CGMCC 1.15091T were 28.0 and 83.4%, respectively. On the basis of its phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain E918T was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Arthrobacter, for which the name Arthrobacter mobilis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Arthrobacter mobilis is E918T (=JCM 33392T=CGMCC 1.16978T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming actinobacterium, designated as F435T, was isolated from soil sample collected from the Cholistan Desert, Pakistan. The taxonomic position of the strain was established by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The cells were coccoid-shaped and found in single or arrangement of pairs. The novel strain grew at 15‒37 °C (optimum, 25‒30 °C), pH 7‒11 (optimum, pH 7-8) and in the presence of 0‒8% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Results of blast analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that Auraticoccus monumenti MON 2.2T was its closest relative with 97.4 % similarity followed by Desertihabitans aurantiacus CPCC 204711T (95.2 %). In phylogenetic trees, strain F435T formed a robust cluster with the only member of the genus Auraticoccus. The peptidoglycan isomer present in the cell wall was ll-diaminopimelic acid. The major fatty acid was determined to be anteiso-C15 : 0. Characteristic polar lipids of the strain were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphoglycolipids and glycolipids. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The genomic G+C content was calculated as 73.5 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (GGDC) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain F435T and A. monumenti MON 2.2T were 24.6 and 81.8 %, respectively. Based on the results of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses, strain F435T represents a novel specie of the genus Auraticoccus, for which the name Auraticoccus cholistanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F435T (=JCM 33648T=CGMCC 1.17443T). The description of the genus Auraticoccus has also been emended.

Abstract
A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, irregular coccoid- to ovoid-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile bacterium, designated strain 13S1-3T, was isolated from a soil sample from the rhizosphere of Tamarix collected in the Taklamakan desert in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, PR China. The strain was examined by a polyphasic approach to clarify its taxonomic position. Strain 13S1-3T grew optimally at 28-30 °C, pH 7.0 and with 0-1 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was of the B2γ type and contained d-alanine, d-glutamic acid, glycine, d-2,4-diaminobutyric acid and l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid. Ribose, xylose, glucose and galactose were detected as cell-wall sugars. The acyl type of the muramic acid was acetyl. The predominant menaquinones were MK-12, MK-11, MK-13 and MK-10. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids and one unidentified phospholipid. The major whole-cell fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 70.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that 13S1-3T represented a member of the family Microbacteriaceae and showed the highest level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Frondihabitans australicus E1HC-02T (97.11 %). Phylogenetic trees revealed that 13S1-3T formed a distinct lineage with respect to closely related genera within the family Microbacteriaceae. On the basis of the results of phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, 13S1-3T is distinguishable from phylogenetically related genera in the family Microbacteriaceae, and represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Planctomonas deserti gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 13S1-3T (=KCTC 49115T=CGMCC 1.16554T).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of multiple primary cancers (MPC) associated with head and neck. METHODS A total of 71 patients with MPC associated with head and neck treated from January 2008 to November 2015 were included in the retrospective study, of them 20 patients were synchronous MPC and 51 patients were metachronous MPC; 45 (63.4%) patients were field cancerization of head neck (FCHN) and 26 (36.6%) patients were non-field cancerization of head neck (NFCHN). For the synchronous MPC patients with an interval of 0 month, the lesion sites of FCHN were treated with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the site of severe lesion of NFCHN received firstly a standard treatment. Other types of MPC were treated according to international guide lines or experts consensus. RESULTS With the mean follow-up of 63.4 months, the 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) were 84.6% and 75.7% respectively. The 3-year and 5-year OS were 56.4% and 37.6% respectively in patients with synchronous MPC, and were 92.2% and 84.2% respectively in patients with metachronous MPC. There was significant difference in the OS between patients with metachronous MPC and patients with synchronous MPC (P=0.0002). The 3-year and 5-year OS were 85.7% and 77.9% respectively in patients with FCHN, and were 82.9% and 72.8% respectively in patients with NFCHN, with no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.297). CONCLUSION With correct diagnosis and effective curative treatment, some of patients with MPC can get long-term survival, showing the better prognosis in metachronous MPC compared to synchronous MPC.

Abstract
A novel halophilic actinomycete, designated strain J11Y309T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from a dried salt lake in China. This isolate grew optimally at 28‒37 °C, with 3‒5 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 7.0‒7.5. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and glucose, ribose and xylose were present in the whole-cell hydrolysates. MK-10(H4) was detected as the predominant menaquinone. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. Polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphoglycolipids, glycolipids, an unidentified phospholipid and additional unidentified lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63.0 mol%. The novel strain shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Salininema proteolyticum Miq-4T (95.80 %), Paraglycomyces xinjiangensis TRM 49201T (95.77 %) and Haloglycomyces albus YIM 92370T (94.84 %). Phylogenetic trees showed that it could not be clearly assigned to any known genus within the family Glycomycetaceae and formed a distinct phylogenetic line in the clade comprising members of the genera Salininema, Paraglycomyces and Haloglycomyces. Based on data from the present polyphasic taxonomic study, strain J11Y309T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Glycomycetaceae, for which the name Salilacibacter albus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed with Salilacibacter albus sp. nov. as the type species. The type strain of Salilacibacter albus is J11Y309T (=DSM 46875T=CGMCC 4.7242T=LMG 29297T). Reclassification of Paraglycomyces xinjiangensis Luo et al. 2015 as a later heterotypic synonym of Salininema roteolyticum Nikou et al. 2015 is also discussed in this study.

Abstract
OBJECT Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is frequently used for the treatment of chronic pain. Although the mechanisms by which SCS alleviates pain are unclear, they are believed to involve changes within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Spinal cord stimulation has also been found to cause significant vasodilation in the peripheral vasculature. The mechanisms underlying this effect are thought to involve sympathetic blockade. A rostral vasodilatory effect has also been described, but changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) have been poorly delineated. Using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), the authors examined the effects of cervical SCS on CBF in rats. METHODS Cervical SCS was found to result in a significant increase in cortical LDF values (83 +/- 11% [mean +/- standard error of the mean]). The increase in cortical LDF values was not accompanied by a significant increase in systemic blood pressure. Stimulation of the upper cervical spinal cord was more effective in inducing LDF changes than was that of the lower cervical cord. Changes in SDS-induced LDF values were significantly attenuated after spinal cord transection at the cervicomedullary junction and by the administration of the sympathetic blocker hexamethonium. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that cervical SCS may induce cerebral vasodilation and that this effect may involve indirect effects on vasomotor centers in the brainstem as well as an alteration in sympathetic tone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the biological behavior of renal squamous cell carcinoma (RSCC). METHODS Fifteen cases of RSCC were retrospectively studied. These cases were classified as central (eight cases) and peripheral (seven cases) types by the tumor location. The clinical data and computed tomographic findings were analyzed and compared. RESULTS High incidence (87%) of urolithiasis was observed. The prognosis of RSCC was very poor, with a median survival time of 3.5 months. The infectious symptoms, central location, and modified stage IV of the tumor were the poor prognostic factors of RSCC. Two types of RSCC were different in the presenting symptoms, lymph node metastasis, modified tumor staging, and survival time. CONCLUSION The central and peripheral types of RSCC were different biologically. High index of suspicion should be maintained when identifying the subtle clues of malignancy in patients with urolithiasis.

Abstract
Induction of hypothermia is used routinely in neurosurgical and cardiovascular operations to protect the brain from ischemic insult. However, despite a plethora of experimental evidence supporting the use of hypothermia to protect the brain from ischemia, clinical experience using deliberate hypothermia in humans has not shown a convincing benefit. The authors tested the hypothesis that hypothermia and rewarming alter tone in human cerebral vessels and may interfere with cerebral perfusion in the setting of deliberate hypothermia. They examined human cerebral arteries during hypothermia (32 degrees C and 17 degrees C) and during rewarming to delineate the direct effects of cooling and rewarming on cerebrovascular tone. Artery segments obtained from autopsy material and from specimens excised at elective temporal lobectomies were tested in tissue baths using isometric tension measurements. Temperature-induced changes in vascular tone were measured and quantified with respect to contractile responses to serotonin (5-HT; 10(-6) M). Cooling induced mild relaxation in cerebral vessels (-38 +/- 12% 5-HT response in 50 vessels from autopsy specimens, -69 +/- 10% 5-HT response in 51 vessels from lobectomy specimens). On rewarming, vessels contracted significantly beyond their baseline tone (108 +/- 18% 5-HT response in 50 vessels from autopsy specimens, 42 +/- 12% 5-HT response in 51 vessels from lobectomy specimens). Rewarming-induced hypercontractility was inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (-5 +/- 7% vs. 70 +/- 23% 5-HT response, genistein vs. control, 14 segments, p < 0.05) and enhanced by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor sodium orthovanadate (339 +/- 54% vs. 104 +/- 20% 5-HT response, sodium orthovanadate vs. control, five segments, p < 0.05), indicating a possible role for tyrosine kinase activation in the rewarming-induced contraction.

Abstract
A case of retained surgical sponge was imaged by ultrasound and computed tomography (CT). Sonography revealed a hypoechoic mass with areas of high echoes and acoustic shadowing. An experiment revealed that the high echoes were attributed partly to the presence of numerous interfaces of sponges. The sonographic detection of a mass with high echoes casting acoustic shadows should alert radiologists to the possibility of retained surgical sponges even if there is no gas or calcification on CT scans.

Abstract
The cyclization/cleavage of 3',5'-uridyluridine to form 2',3'-cyclic uridylic acid is very effectively catalyzed by Eu3+, and the cyclization/cleavage of the 1-p-nitrophenyl phosphate ester of propane-1,2-diol also shows strong metal ion catalysis by Eu3+, Tb3+, and Yb3+. It also shows moderate catalysis by Mg2+, but not by Ca2+; Zn2+ and Pb2+ are also good catalysts. Various ligands activate these reactions further, and imidazole apparently acts as an additional base catalyst. Some cyclodextrin derivatives act to bind both the substrate and the metal ion but, contrary to what is reported elsewhere, there is no strong selectivity among nucleotides that can be ascribed to cyclodextrin binding.

Abstract
Cyclization/cleavage of the 2-(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate ester of propylene glycol is catalyzed by imidazole and, much more effectively, by Zn2+ with imidazole. In the latter case, the mechanism involves simultaneous Lewis acid/base catalysis. Similar Zn2+ and imidazole catalysis of cyclization/cleavage is seen with the dinucleotide 3',5'-UpU (uridylyluridine). Again, the zinc system is much more effective than is catalysis by imidazole alone, and in this case simultaneous Lewis acid/base catalysis substitutes for the sequential proton acid/base catalysis seen with polynucleotides or dinucleotides and imidazole buffer catalysts. A mechanism is proposed for catalysis of RNA cleavage by the enzyme ribonuclease A, and the relationship of that mechanism to the action of the enzyme model systems is discussed.
