Abstract
Objective: To investigate the perioperative management of wounds associated with secondary sternal osteomyelitis and/or mediastinitis after sternotomy, and to evaluate its clinical effects. Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2017 to December 2022, 36 patients with wounds associated with secondary sternal osteomyelitis and/or mediastinitis after sternotomy who were conformed to the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Burn Center of PLA of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, including 23 males and 13 females, aged 25 to 81 years. Preparation for surgery was made. For patients with suspected retrosternal mediastinal abscess cavity, all cancellous bone of the unhealed sternum was bitten off to fully expose the retrosternal mediastinum, remove the source of infection and granulation tissue, and to fill the sternum defect with flipped unilateral pectoralis major muscle. For patients who had no retrosternal mediastinal infection but had fresh granulation tissue in unhealed sternal wounds, the necrotic tissue and a small amount of necrotic sternum were palliatively removed, and bilateral pectoralis major muscles were advanced and abutted to cover the sternal defect. After the skin in the donor area was closed by tension-relieving suture, continuous vacuum sealing drainage was performed, and continuous even infusion and lavage were added 24 hours later. The thorax was fixed with an armor-like chest strap, the patients were guided to breathe abdominally, with both upper limbs fixed to the lateral chest wall using a surgical restraint strap. The bacterial culture results of wound exudation specimens on admission were recorded. The wound condition observed during operation, debridement method, muscle flap covering method, intraoperative bleeding volume, days of postoperative infusion and lavage, lavage solution volume and changes on each day, and postoperative complications and wound healing time were recorded. After discharge, the wound healing quality, thorax shape, and mobility functions of thorax and both upper limbs were evaluated during follow-up. The stability and closure of sternum were observed by computed tomography (CT) reexamination. Results: On admission, among 36 patients, 33 cases were positive and 3 cases were negative in bacterial culture results of wound exudation specimens. Intraoperative observation showed that 26 patients had no retrosternal mediastinal infection but had fresh granulation tissue in unhealed sternal wounds, palliative debridement was performed and bilateral pectoralis major muscles were advanced and abutted to cover the defect. In 10 patients with suspected retrosternal mediastinal abscess cavity, the local sternum was completely removed by bite and the defect was covered using flipped unilateral pectoralis major muscle. During the operation, one patient experienced an innominate vein rupture and bleeding of approximately 3 000 mL during mediastinal exploration, and the remaining patients experienced bleeding of 100-1 000 mL. Postoperative infusion and lavage were performed for 4-7 days, with a lavage solution volume of 3 500-4 500 mL/d. The lavage solution gradually changed from dark red to light red and finally clear. Except for 1 patient who had suture rupture caused by lifting the patient under the armpit during nursing on the 3rd day after surgery, the wounds of the other patients healed smoothly after surgery, and the wound healing time of all patients was 7-21 days. Follow-up for 3 to 9 months after discharge showed that the patient who had suture rupture caused by armpit lifting died due to multiple organ failure. In 1 patient, the armor-like chest strap was removed 2 weeks after surgery, and the shoulder joint movement was not restricted, resulting in local rupture of the suture, which healed after dressing change. The wounds of the remaining patients healed well, and they resumed their daily life. The local skin of patient's pectoralis major muscle defect was slightly sunken and lower than that of the contralateral thorax in the patients undergoing treatment of pectoralis major muscle inversion, while no obvious thoracic deformity was observed in patients undergoing treatment with pectoralis major muscle propulsion and abutment. The chest and upper limb movement in all patients were slightly limited or normal. CT reexamination results of 10 patients showed that the sternum was stable, the local sternum was closed or covered completely with no lacuna or defects. Conclusions: Once the wound associated with secondary sternal osteomyelitis and/or mediastinitis after sternotomy is formed, individualized and precise debridement should be performed as soon as possible, different transfer ways of pectoralis major muscle flap should be chosen to cover the defect, and postoperative continuous infusion and lavage together with strict thorax and shoulder joint restraint and immobilization should be performed. This treatment strategy can ensure good wound healing without affecting the shape and function of the donor area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment is playing an increasingly important role in the management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This consensus focuses on the indications for optimal surgery, and surgical methods in the whole process of treatment for NPC to provide a useful reference to assist these difficult clinical decisions. METHODOLOGY A thorough review of available literature on NPC and surgery was conducted by the Association for the prevention and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China, international exchange and promotion Association for medicine and healthcare, and the Committee on nasopharyngeal cancer of Guangdong provincial anticancer association. A set of questions and a preliminary draft guideline was circulated to a panel of 1096 experienced specialists on this disease for voting on controversial areas and comments. A refined second proposal, based on a summary of the initial voting and different opinions expressed, was recirculated to the experts in two authoritative medical science and technology academic groups in the prevention and treatment of NPC in China for review and reconsideration. RESULTS The initial round of questions showed variations in clinical practice even among similar specialists, reflecting the lack of high-quality supporting data and resulting difficulties in formulating clinical decisions. Through exchange of comments and iterative revisions, recommendations with high-to-moderate agreement were formulated on general treatment strategies and details of surgery, including indications and surgical approaches. CONCLUSION By standardizing the surgical indications and practice, we hope not only to improve the surgical outcomes, but also to highlight the key directions of future clinical research in the surgical management of NPC.

Abstract
Introduction Postburn scarring often presents a specific reconstructive challenge from both functional and cosmetic perspectives. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether autologous nanofat harvested from the donor site of full skin or a skin flap can be reused for the treatment of early postburn scaring. Methods From July 2018 to April 2022, patients with early postburn scarring underwent scar reconstruction surgery with full-thickness skin or a skin flap for a contour deformity and/or scar contracture, and autologous nanofat grafting was performed during the same operation. The Vancouver Scar Score (VSS) and the itch and pain scores were evaluated at the preoperation time point as well as at 2-3 weeks and 3-months postoperation. A comparison was made among the same patients at different time points. Results A total of 17 patients, aged from 18 months to 62 years old were included in this analysis. The VSS was reduced from 10.00 ± 2.12 to 7.41 ± 1.277 at the 2-3-week postoperation time point, and to 5.53 ± 1.37 at the 3-month postoperation time point. The pain and itch score were reduced from 4.65 ± 1.37 and 6.35 ± 1.27, to 3.70 ± 1.10 and 4.94 ± 1.30 at the 2-3-week postoperation time point, and to 3.00 ± 1.28 and 3.94 ± 0.97 at the 3-month postoperation time point respectively. The VSS and pain and itch scores showed a statistically significant reduction (P < 0.05) at the 2-3-week and 3-month postoperative follow-ups compared with the preoperation time point. Conclusion Autologous nanofat grafting from donor sites of full thickness skin or skin flap may be a promising treatment for an early postburn scaring as it promotes scar softening, improves itching and pain within the scar. However, this is a small case series with only 17 patients. Further conclusions need to be drawn through expanded samples for randomized controlled clinical trials. Lay Summary Hypertrophic scarring is the most common complication after partial thickness burn injury, and the complex pathogenesis and prolonged dynamic process render treatments only marginally effective. In the past few decades, with the technological advances of liposuction and fat grafting, nanofat grafting has been used in a variety of surgical fields, including wound healing, scleroderma, facial rejuvenation, and neuralgia. However, the role of nanofat grafting is not well documented in the prevention and treatment of early postburn scarring. Full-thickness skin grafting or skin flap transplantation is the most common method for the reconstruction of a hypertrophic scaring until now. In the current study, we harvested subcutaneous fat during the preparation of the full-thickness skin or skin flap, prepared nanofat and injected it in the scar located at a nonsurgical site. Comparison of the pre- and postoperation scores for scar color, scar thickness, scar stiffness, and scar regularity showed that the postoperation scores were decreased significantly and that there was a significant improvement in scar pigmentation and thickness as well astheaesthetic outcome after treatment. Most importantly, reductions in the scores for pain and itching could be assessed objectively. It seems that the nanofat grafting is a potential method for prevention and treatment for early postburn scaring.

Abstract
The sleep deficiency and sleep disturbance of critically ill patients may result in adverse outcomes, negative effects on early rehabilitation, and may persist well beyond the intensive care unit (ICU). It has been paid more and more attention in clinical practice. The sleep problems of critically ill patients are associated with suffered critical illness, ICU environments, and coexisting sleep disorders before critical illness. Poor sleep quality, insufficient sleep duration, severe sleep fragmentation and irregular circadian rhythms during critical care illness have been extensively described. In addition, ICU patients have been specifically shown to experience atypical sleep and pathologic wakefulness. So the sleep in critical ill patients should be evaluated. Sleep can be evaluated by both subjective assessment and objective measurements, including polysomnography and actigraphy. According to individual situation, comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and personalized interventions, which include treating critical illness, improving ICU environment to reduce interference to sleep, nonpharmacological treatment to relax and stabilize sleep, and treating coexisting sleep disorders, should be taken to improve the patient's sleep and then to promote the early rehabilitation of critically ill patients.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze dynamic functional connectivity (dFNC) states and influencing factors of brain network in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: A total of 111 male patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea or presenting with simple snoring, who visited the Sleep Clinic at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between August 2020 and December 2021, were prospectively selected for this study. General information was collected, and polysomnography (PSG) was performed. Based on the oxygen desaturation index (ODI), the participants were divided into three groups: primary snoring group (ODI<5 events/hour, n=34), mild to moderate OSA group (5 events/hour≤ODI<30 events/hour, n=43), and sever OSA group (ODI≥30 events/hour, n=34). Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, and daytime sleepiness was evaluated using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected and preprocessed. dFNC matrices were constructed using a sliding time window approach. The number of dFNC states was determined using k-means clustering analysis. Three parameters, namely, fractional time (FT), mean dwell time (MDT), and number of transitions (NT), were used to characterize the temporal properties of dFNC states. Differences in the temporal properties of dFNC states among the groups were compared. The correlations between temporal properties and PSG parameters, as well as MoCA and ESS scores, were further analyzed. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors of the temporal properties of dFNC states. Results: The age of the patients was (40.2±8.6) years (range: 25-65 years). There were no significant differences in age, smoking history and alcohol history, and MoCA scores among the three groups (all P>0.05). Three dFNC states were extracted through k-means clustering analysis: state 1, characterized by strong connections within the visual and sensorimotor networks with a frequency of 31.7% (4 611/14 541); state 2, characterized by strong connections within the default mode network, attention network, and other cognitive networks, with the lowest frequency of 22.1% (3 213/14 541); state 3, characterized by weaker connections across the whole brain, with the highest frequency of 46.2% (6 717/14 541). The FT [0.28 (0.05, 0.35) vs 0.39 (0.26, 0.53)] and MDT [8.20 (4.35, 12.54) vs 11.68 (8.50, 16.69)] of state 2 in the sever OSA group were lower than those in the primary snoring group (both P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the temporal properties of states 1 and 3 among the three groups (all P>0.05). The FT and MDT of state 2 were correlated with body mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), ODI, and minimum oxygen saturation (MinSaO2) (FT: r values were -0.218, -0.230, -0.249, 0.198, respectively; MDT: r values were 0.269, -0.253, -0.265, 0.209, respectively; all P<0.05). There were no significant correlations between the temporal properties and MoCA or ESS scores (all P>0.05). ODI was found to be an influencing factor for the temporal properties of state 2 (FT: β=-0.225, 95%CI:-0.227 to -0.223; MDT: β=-0.241, 95%CI:-0.289 to -0.195). Conclusions: Male patients with OSA exhibit alterations in specific temporal properties of brain network dynamic functional connectivity, which are associated with nocturnal oxygen parameters. This may be one of the mechanisms underlying brain functional damage in patients with OSA.

Abstract
Light is an important environmental signal that influences plant growth and development. Among the photoreceptors, phytochromes can sense red/far-red light to coordinate various biological processes. However, their functions in strawberry are not yet known. In this study, we identified an EMS mutant, named P8, in woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) that showed greatly increased plant height and reduced anthocyanin content. Mapping-by-sequencing revealed that the causal mutation in FvePhyB leads to premature termination of translation. The light treatment assay revealed that FvePhyB is a bona fide red/far-red light photoreceptor, as it specifically inhibits hypocotyl length under red light. Transcriptome analysis showed that the FvePhyB mutation affects the expression levels of genes involved in hormone synthesis and signaling and anthocyanin biosynthesis in petioles and fruits. The srl mutant with a longer internode is caused by a mutation in the DELLA gene FveRGA1 (Repressor of GA1) in the gibberellin pathway. We found that the P8 srl double mutant has much longer internodes than srl, suggesting a synergistic role of FvePhyB and FveRGA1 in this process. Taken together, these results demonstrate the important role of FvePhyB in regulating plant architecture and anthocyanin content in woodland strawberry.

Abstract
We present a new measurement of the positive muon magnetic anomaly, a_{μ}≡(g_{μ}-2)/2, from the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment using data collected in 2019 and 2020. We have analyzed more than 4 times the number of positrons from muon decay than in our previous result from 2018 data. The systematic error is reduced by more than a factor of 2 due to better running conditions, a more stable beam, and improved knowledge of the magnetic field weighted by the muon distribution, ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, and of the anomalous precession frequency corrected for beam dynamics effects, ω_{a}. From the ratio ω_{a}/ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, together with precisely determined external parameters, we determine a_{μ}=116 592 057(25)×10^{-11} (0.21 ppm). Combining this result with our previous result from the 2018 data, we obtain a_{μ}(FNAL)=116 592 055(24)×10^{-11} (0.20 ppm). The new experimental world average is a_{μ}(exp)=116 592 059(22)×10^{-11} (0.19 ppm), which represents a factor of 2 improvement in precision.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The risk of temporal lobe injury (TLI) in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC) patients with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is high. We aimed to construct the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model for TLI of rNPC and establish a risk predictive model. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 103 patients with rNPC who had received two courses of IMRT in our institution. The 206 temporal lobes (TLs) of these patients were randomly divided into a training (n = 144) and validation group (n = 62). We determined the mean value of the following parameters to construct the Lyman NTCP model: TD50(1) (the dose with a 50% probability of complications to an organ when all volumes are irradiated), m [steepness of the dose-response at TD50(1)], and n (the parameter related to volume effect). The most predictive dosimetric parameter and clinical variables were integrated in Cox proportional hazards models. A nomogram was developed for predicting risk of TLs. RESULTS The parameters of the fitted NTCP model were TD50(1) = 107.84 Gy (95% confidence interval (CI), [97.15, 118.54]), m = 0.16 (95% CI, [0.14, 0.19]), and n = 0.04 (95% CI, [0.01, 0.06]). The cumulative dose delivered to 0.1 cm3 of temporal lobe volume (D0.1cc-c) was the most predictive dosimetric parameter for TLI. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed a significant difference in 2-year TLI-free survival among different risk groups according to the total score of nomograms. CONCLUSION The TD50(1) of TLI in patients with rNPC is 107.84 Gy in Lyman NTCP model. The nomogram model can accurately predict the risk of TLI for individual.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate the effect of segmental abutting esophagus-sparing (SAES) radiotherapy to reduce severe (G3+) acute esophagitis from 20% to 5% in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with a clinical target volume (CTV) ≤1 cm close to the esophagus were enrolled in the experimental arm (45 Gy in 3 Gy daily fractions in 3 weeks) of an ongoing phase III randomized clinical trial (NCT02675088), which enrolled patients with histologically confirmed SCLC and clinically staged as LS or I-IIIB (AJCC 7th). This trial was designed to determine whether HYPO TRT (45 Gy in 3 Gy QD, experimental arm) has the same efficacy as CF TRT (60 Gy in 2 Gy QD, controlled arm) in patients with LS-SCLC. The whole esophagus was divided into the involved esophagus and abutting esophagus (AE) to receive different dose limitations according to the distance from the edge of the CTV. The primary endpoint was grade ≥ 3 acute esophagitis. RESULTS From 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022, 30 patients were enrolled and completed four cycles of planned chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Our patient population was predominantly male (66.7% men vs. 33.3% women), with a median age of 62 years. A majority of patients presented with Stage N2-3 (90.0%) and T2-4 (76.7%), in which 4 patients had ultracentral-located primary tumors. With the SAES technique, all dosimetric parameters were significantly reduced for the whole esophagus and AE. The maximal and mean dose of the esophagus (47.4±1.9 Gy and 13.5 ± 5.8 Gy, respectively) and AE (42.9±2.3 Gy and 8.6 ± 3.6 Gy, respectively) in the SAES plan were significantly lower than those (esophagus 48.0±1.9 Gy and 14.7± 6.1 Gy, AE 45.1±2.4 Gy and 9.8± 4.2 Gy, respectively) in the non-SAES plan. After the follow-up of more than 7 months (range, 7.0-18.1 months) for all patients, only one patient (3.3%, 95% CI 0.1%-17.2%) experienced grade 3 acute esophagitis and no grade 4-5 acute esophagitis happened (Table 3). For late toxicities, one patient suffered sustained grade 1 late esophagitis and all others had no symptoms of esophagitis. The rate of radiation pneumonitis was very low, with one grade 3 event and no grade 4-5 event. Twelve (40.0%) patients had G3+ hematologic toxic events, including 2 patients with febrile neutropenia. The 1-year OS, LRFS, DMFS and PFS was 96.4%, 88.7%, 78.4% and 64.3%, respectively. No patient developed local recurrence in the abutting esophagus-sparing region. CONCLUSION SAES radiotherapy has significant dosimetric advantages compared with standard radiotherapy, which are successfully translated into clinical benefits for patients with LS-SCLC treated with 45 Gy in 3 Gy daily fractions. This may facilitate dose escalation for TRT in LS-SCLC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Re-radiotherapy (re-RT) is the main treatment for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (lrNPC) patients, and commonly led to radiation-induced nasopharyngeal (NP) necrosis, which was lethal but rare study has focused on it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cause and impact of radiation-induced NP necrosis in lrNPC patients who received re-RT. MATERIALS/METHODS Totally 252 lrNPC patients who received re-RT between January 2013 and December 2020 were retrospectively collected. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) no NP necrosis before re-RT; (2) complete medical records, including treatment, clinical and dosimetric information; (3) conventional fractionated radiotherapy. All patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy ± chemotherapy. Radiation-induced NP necrosis was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and/or electronic nasopharyngoscopy. Dosimetric factors of the planning target volume of primary tumor (PTVp) were extracted from the dose-volume histogram (DVH), which was rescaled to an equivalent dose of 2 Gy per fraction (EQD 2 Gy) using a linear quadratic model. Logistic regression was used to identify the independent prognostic factors for generating the nomogram. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 44.63 months (inter-quartile range [IQR], 27.70 - 69.20 months), 47.6% of patients (120/252) occurred radiation-induced NP necrosis, which mostly happened within 1 year post re-RT (median [IQR], 5.83 [3.37 - 11.57] months). The 3-year overall survival was 83.0% vs 39.7% (P<0.001) in lrNPC patients with or without radiation-induced NP necrosis. Except for the fractionated dose, other dosimetric factors of PTVp were not significantly different between two groups, including D98 (dose to 98% of PTVp), D50, D2 and homogeneity index (Table 1). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that continuous variable age (HR [95% CI]: 1.04 [1.02 - 1.07], P = 0.003) and tumor volume (HR [95% CI]: 1.02 [1.01 - 1.03], P<0.001), and fractionated dose > 2.22 Gy (HR [95% CI]: 2.36 [1.32 - 4.21], P = 0.004) were independent factors in predicting radiation-induced NP necrosis, which yielded a C-index of 0.742 (95% CI, 0.682 - 0.803) for OS in the nomogram. CONCLUSION The incidence of radiation-induced NP necrosis was high in lrNPC patients who received re-RT. Patients with older age, larger tumor volume or receiving fractionated dose over 2.22 Gy were more easily to suffer NP necrosis, which need to explore novel treatment strategies to improve patients' survivals.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on pregnancy outcomes, especially the relationship between OSAS and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP). Methods: A total of 228 pregnant women with high risk of OSAS who underwent sleep monitoring during pregnancy in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2021 to April 2022 were collected by reviewing their medical records for retrospective analysis. According to the diagnosis of OSAS, the pregnant women were divided into OSAS group (105 cases) and non-OSAS group (123 cases). The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher's exact test were used to compare the general data and maternal and fetal outcomes between the two groups, and the occurrence of each type of HDP was further compared. Results: (1) Compared with the non-OSAS group, the median pre-pregnancy body mass index (23.6 vs 27.6 kg/m2) and the proportion of snoring [28.9% (33/114) vs 59.2% (61/103)] in the OSAS group were higher, and the differences were both statistically significant (both P<0.001). (2) The incidence of HDP [67.6% (71/105) vs 39.0% (48/123)] and gestational diabetes mellitus [GDM; 40.0% (42/105) vs 26.8% (33/123)] of pregnant women in the OSAS group were higher than those in the non-OSAS group, and the median delivery week was shorter than that in the non-OSAS group (38.4 vs 39.0 weeks). The differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Between-group differences for the delivery way, postpartum hemorrhage, the rate of intensive care unit admission, preterm birth, small for gestational age infants, neonatal asphyxia, the rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission, newborn birth weight and the proportion of umbilical artery blood pH<7.00 were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). (3) Compared with the non-OSAS group, the incidence of chronic hypertension [11.4% (14/123) vs 22.9% (24/105)] and chronic hypertension with superimposed pre-eclampsia [11.4% (14/123) vs 30.5% (32/105)] were higher in the OSAS group, and the differences were both statistically significant (both P<0.01). Conclusion: OSAS is related to HDP (especially chronic hypertension and chronic hypertension with superimposed pre-eclampsia) and GDM, which could provide a practical basis for the screening, diagnosis and treatment of OSAS in pregnant women at high risk.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the curative effects of medial plantar free flap in reconstructing electric burn wound and scar contracture in the palm. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2020 to January 2023, 6 patients with electric burn wounds or scar contracture in the palm who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, including 5 males and 1 female, aged 35 to 55 years. The wound area was 5.0 cm×3.0 cm-8.0 cm×7.0 cm after the debridement of electric burn wounds or resection of scar in the palm. The medial plantar free flap anastomosed with cutaneous nerve was used for wound reconstruction, with flap area of 5.5 cm×3.5 cm-8.5 cm×7.5 cm. The wound in the donor site was repaired with transplantation of abdominal full-thickness skin graft. After surgery, the survival of flaps and skin grafts were observed, the shape and texture of flap and the recovery of donor site of flap were observed, and the holding function of the affected hand was assessed. At the last follow-up, the two-point discrimination distance of flap was measured, the sensory recovery of flap was evaluated with the trial standard for the evaluation of the functions of the upper limbs of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association, and the function recovery of flap was evaluated by post-surgery flap function evaluation scale. Results: After surgery, 5 flaps survived well, while the distal part of 1 flap was partially necrotic, which was repaired by medium-thickness skin graft from lateral thigh after debridement. All the skin grafts at the donor sites survived well. During follow-up of 3 to 24 months, the flap was not bloated, the texture and color were good, the match with the surrounding tissue was high, with no obvious scar contracture occurred at the donor site. The affected hand had good holding function. At the last follow-up, the two-point discrimination distance of flap was 6-8 mm, the flap sensation recovery was as follows: 5 flaps recovered to grade S3+, 1 flap recovered to grade S3, and the functional evaluation of flaps was excellent in 5 cases and good in 1 case. The patients basically returned to normal life and work. Conclusions: The medial plantar free flap with cutaneous nerve anastomosis has many advantages, such as high matching degree of appearance, good sensory recovery, and holding function of the affected hand. It is an ideal choice for the reconstruction of the electric burn wound and scar contracture in the palm.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze whether the upper airway of patients with catathrenia has obstructive manifestations using nasal resistance, craniofacial, and upper airway imaging methods, which could benefit the exploration of the etiology and treatment options. Methods: From August 2012 to September 2019, a total of 57 patients with catathrenia in the Department of Orthodontics at Peking University Hospital of Stomatology were included in the study, including 22 males and 35 females, aged (31.1±10.9) years, with a body mass index of (21.7±2.7) kg/m2. All the patients were diagnosed by full-night polysomnography at the Sleep Division, Peking University People's Hospital, of which 10 patients were combined with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). The median groaning index of patients was 4.8 (1.8, 13) events/h. Nasal resistance and cone-beam CT were conducted on the patients, and measurements were performed on the craniofacial structures, upper airway, and surrounding soft tissues, compared with non-snoring normal occlusion individuals' references published by the same research team (144 college students recruited at Peking University and 100 non-snoring young adults with normal occlusion recruited at six universities in Beijing). Results: The total nasal resistance of patients with catathrenia was (0.26±0.08) Pa·cm-3·s-1. The patients had overall well-developed mandibular hard tissues. However, the patients were found with increased FH/BaN (steep anterior cranial base plane), increased MP/FH (forward rotation of the mandible); increased U1/NA and L1/MP (proclined upper and lower incisors). The sagittal diameter of the velopharynx [(19.2±4.5) mm] was significantly larger than the normal reference (t=8.44, P<0.001), while the sagittal diameter at the hypopharynx [(17.4±6.4) mm] was statistically smaller than the normal reference (t=-2.79, P=0.006). Catarhrenia patients combined with OSAHS presented longer soft palate, tongue, and lower hyoid bone than those with primary catathrenia. Conclusions: In patients with catathrenia, the overall craniofacial characteristics are well-developed skeletal structures, lower nasal resistance, proclined upper and lower incisors, wide upper sagittal development of the upper airway and but narrow hypopharynx. Groaning sounds might be related to the narrowing of the hypopharynx during sleep.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the alertness and task processing speed impairment status in young-mild aged men with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and analyze its influencing factors. Methods: This prospective study recruited 251 snoring patients aged 18 to 59 (38.9±7.6) years in the Sleep Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 2020 to September 2021 and all patients were diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG). Clinical information, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and PSG date were collected. All patients were assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) questionnaires, Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Computerized Neurocognitive Assessment System which includes the reaction time of Motor Screening Task (MOT) for alertness, the reaction time of pattern recognition memory (PRM), spatial span (SSP) and spatial working memory (SWM) for task processing speed. Based on AHI tertiles, all patients were divided into Q1 group (AHI<15 times/h, n=79), Q2 group (15 times/h≤AHI<45 times/h, n=88), and Q3 group (AHI≥45 times/h, n=84). The characteristics of clinical information, ESS, PSG parameters and cognitive scores among three groups were compared. Multiple linear stepwise regression was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive impairment. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in age, years of education, history of smoking and drinking, and past disease history (except for the prevalence of hypertension) among the 3 groups (P>0.05). There were statistically significant among-group differences in the body mass index (BMI), ESS, prevalence of hypertension and complaints of daytime sleepiness (P<0.05). Compared with Q1 and Q2 group, the arousal index (ArI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI),the proportion of non-rapid eye movement phase 1 and 2 (N1+N2) and percentage of total sleep time with oxygen saturation level<90% (TS90) of Q3 group were higher (all P<0.05). In the cognitive assessment, there was no statistically significant difference in the MoCA total and individual scores and MMSE scores among the three groups (P>0.05). Compared with the Q1 group, the task processing speed and alertness were worse in Q3 group, as shown by slower PRM immediate and delayed reaction time, SSP reaction time and MOT reaction time (all P<0.05). The total time of SWM in Q2 group was slower than that in Q1 group (P<0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression showed that years of education (β=-40.182, 95%CI:-69.847--10.517), ODI (β=3.539, 95%CI: 0.600-6.478) were the risk factors of PRM immediate reaction time. Age(β=13.303,95%CI: 2.487-24.119), years of education(β=-32.329, 95%CI:-63.162--1.497), ODI (β=4.515, 95%CI: 1.623-7.407) were the risk factors of PRM delayed reaction time. ODI was the risk factor of SSP reaction time (β=1.258, 95%CI: 0.379-2.137). TS90 was the risk factor of MOT reaction time (β=1.796, 95%CI: 0.664-2.928). Conclusions: The early cognitive impairment in young-mild aged OSAHS patients was manifested in decreased alertness and task processing speed, and intermittent nocturnal hypoxia was its influencing factor in addition to age and years of education.

Abstract
Deep second-degree burns heal slowly, and promoting the healing process is a focus of clinical research. Sestrin2 is a stress-inducible protein with antioxidant and metabolic regulatory effects. However, its role during acute dermal and epidermal re-epithelialization in deep second-degree burns is unknown. In this study, we aimed to explore the role and molecular mechanism of sestrin2 in deep second-degree burns as a potential treatment target for burn wounds. To explore the effects of sestrin2 on burn wound healing, we established a deep second-degree burn mouse model. Then we detected the expression of sestrin2 by western blot and immunohistochemistry after obtaining the wound margin of full-thickness burned skin. The effects of sestrin2 on burn wound healing were explored in vivo and in vitro through interfering sestrin2 expression using siRNAs or the small molecule agonist of sestrin2, eupatilin. We also investigated the molecular mechanism of sestrin2 in promoting burn wound healing by western blot and CCK-8 assay. Our in vivo and in vitro deep second-degree burn wound healing model demonstrated that sestrin2 was promptly induced at murine skin wound edges. The small molecule agonist of sestrin2 accelerated the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes, as well as burn wound healing. Conversely, the healing of burn wounds was delayed in sestrin2-deficient mice and was accompanied by the secretion of inflammatory cytokines as well as the suppression of keratinocyte proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, sestrin2 promoted the phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, and inhibition of PI3K/AKT pathway abrogated the promoting role of sestrin2 in keratinocyte proliferation and migration. Therefore, sestrin2 plays a critical role in activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway to promote keratinocyte proliferation and migration, as well as re-epithelialization in the process of deep second-degree burn wound repair.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the characteristics of sleep spindle density in nonrapid eye movement (NREM) stage 2 (N2) sleep and its effect on memory function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods: Patients who underwent polysomnography (PSG) examination due to snoring in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January to December 2021 were prospectively collected. A total of 119 male patients, aged 23-60 (37.4±7.3) years, were enrolled finally. According to the apnea hyponea index (AHI), the subjects were divided into a control group (AHI<15 times/h) of 59 cases and an OSAHS group (AHI≥15 times/h) of 60 cases. The basic information, general clinical data and PSG parameters were collected. Memory function scores were evaluated by using logical memory test (LMT), digit ordering test (DOT) and pattern recognition memory (PRM), spatial recognition memory (SRM) and spatial working memory (SWM) in CANTAB test. The number of N2 sleep spindles in leads left central area (C3) and right central area (C4) was counted by hand and the sleep spindle density (SSD) was calculated. The differences in the above indexes and N2 SSD were compared between the two groups. Shapiro-Wilk method, chi-squared test, Spearman correlation analysis and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the influencing factors of memory scores in patients with OSAHS. Results: Compared with the control group, the proportion of the slow-wave sleep, the minimum blood oxygen saturation, the SSD in C3 of NREM2 stage and the SSD in C4 of NREM2 stage were lower in the OSAHS group. The body mass index (BMI), proportion of N2 sleep, oxygen reduction index, percentage of time with oxyhemoglobin saturation below 90% (TS90), maximum duration of apnea and respiratory effort-related arousal(RERA) were higher in the OSAHS group (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the immediate LMT score was lower, while the time for immediately completing PRM test, the total time for immediately completing SRM test and the time for delayed completing PRM test were longer in the OSAHS group, suggesting that the immediate logical memory, immediate visual memory, spatial recognition memory and delayed visual memory were worse in the OSAHS group. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the number of years of education (OR=0.744, 95%CI 0.565-0.979, P=0.035), maximum duration of apnea (OR=0.946, 95%CI 0.898-0.997, P=0.038) and N2-C3 SSD (OR=0.328, 95%CI 0.207-0.618, P=0.012) and N2-C4 SSD (OR=0.339, 95%CI 0.218-0.527, P=0.017) were independent factors affecting the immediate visual memory. The AHI (OR=1.449, 95%CI 1.057-1.985, P=0.021), N2-C3 SSD (OR=0.377, 95%CI 0.246-0.549, P=0.009), and N2-C4 SSD (OR=0.400, 95%CI 0.267-0.600, P=0.010) were independent factors affecting delayed visual memory. Conclusions: The decrease in SSD is associated with impaired memory function in patients with moderate-severe OSAHS, which is manifested as impairment of immediate visual memory and delayed visual memory. This suggests that changes of sleep spindle wave in N2 may be an electroencephalographic biomarker for assessing cognitive impairment in OSAHS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic scars (HS) affect millions of people each year and require better treatment strategies. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are advantaged by low cost and high yield which was commonly used in the treatment of diseases. Here, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of EVs obtained from Lactobacillus druckerii in hypertrophic scar. In vitro, the effects of Lactobacillus druckerii-derived EVs (LDEVs) on Collagen I/III and α-SMA in fibroblasts obtained from HS. In vivo, a scleroderma mouse model was used to investigate the effects of LDEVs on fibrosis. The impact of LDEVs on excisional wound healing was explored. The different proteins between PBS and LDEVs treated fibroblasts derived from hypertrophic scar were studied by untargeted proteomic analysis. RESULTS In vitro, LDEVs treatment significantly inhibited the expression of Collagen I/III and α-SMA and cell proliferation of fibroblasts derived from HS. In vivo, LDEVs withdrawn the hypertrophic scar formation in scleroderma mouse model and decreased the expression of α-SMA. LDEVs promoted the proliferation of skin cells, new blood vessel formation and wound healing in excisional wound healing mice model. Moreover, proteomics has shown that LDEVs inhibit hypertrophic scar fibrosis through multiple pathways. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that Lactobacillus druckerii-derived EVs has the potential application in the treatment of hypertrophic scars and any other fibrosis diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of autologous split-thickness skin grafting for prefabricating urethra combined with scrotal flap in repairing middle urethral defect with penile defect. Methods: The retrospective observational study was conducted. Eight male patients (aged 14 to 58 years) with middle urethral defect and penile defect caused by various injuries who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2015 to January 2022. The length of urethral defect was 3 to 5 cm, and the wound area of penile defect after debridement was 5.0 cm×2.5 cm to 7.0 cm×5.5 cm. All the patients underwent autologous split-thickness skin grafting for prefabricating defect urethra in stage Ⅰ, and urethral anastomosis was performed and unilateral scrotal flap was transferred to reconstruct urethra and penis in stage Ⅱ. The area of scrotal flap was 6.0 cm×3.0 cm to 8.0 cm×6.0 cm. The wound in the donor area of skin graft was covered by oil gauze, and the wound of flap donor area was sutured directly. On the 7th day after the operation of stage Ⅱ, the survival of the flap was observed. In 3 weeks after the operation of stage Ⅱ, the urinary flow rate was measured by the urinary flow rate detector (urinary flow rate >15 mL/s was regarded as unobstructed urination), the urinary fistula and erectile function were observed, and the self-made therapeutic satisfaction questionnaire was used to investigate the therapeutic satisfaction degree of patients. During follow-up, the appearance of the flap recipient area was observed, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the scar situation in the donor areas of skin graft and flap, the urinary flow rate was detected as before, the urethral stricture, urinary fistula, and erectile function were observed, and the therapeutic satisfaction degree of patients was investigated. Results: On the 7th day after the operation of stage Ⅱ, the flaps survived completely in 8 patients. In 3 weeks after the operation of stage Ⅱ, the urinary flow rate was 25.3 (18.0, 38.5) mL/s, with unobstructed urination, without urinary fistula and with erectile function, and the score of therapeutic satisfaction degree was 14.3 (14.0, 15.0). During follow-up of 1 to 7 years, the flap recipient area of 8 patients was full in appearance and not swollen, with similar color to the surrounding tissue; the VSS scores of the donor areas of skin graft and flap were 11.5 (10.0, 13.0) and 10.5 (9.3, 12.0), respectively, the urinary flow rate was 24.6 (17.7, 34.1) mL/s, with no urethral stricture, urinary fistula, and erectile dysfunction, and the score of therapeutic satisfaction degree was 13.5 (13.3, 14.8). Conclusions: Autologous split-thickness skin grafting for prefabricating urethra combined with scrotal flap in repairing the urethral and penile defects not only reconstructs the structure of urethra and the shape of penis, but also restores the sensation and erectile function of penis, with few postoperative complications, no obvious scar hyperplasia, and high satisfaction degree of patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The treatment of refractory macular holes is controversial, with human amniotic membrane grafts emerging recently as an attractive option. We performed a meta-analysis and systematic review in this paper to assess the results of human amniotic membrane (hAM) in the treatment of refractory macular hole (MH). METHODS We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, VIP database, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Sinomed, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, and Clinical Trials.gov. Studies reporting hAM for the treatment of refractory MH were included. The outcomes are MH closure rate, visual acuity (VA) improvement rate, and graft dislocation/contracture rate. RESULTS A total of 8 studies on 103 eyes were included, all of which had undergone failed vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. In all studies, the VA improvement rate was 66% (95%CI: 45 to 84%), the MH closure rate was 94% (95%CI: 84 to 100%) and the hAM graft dislocation/contracture rate was 6% (95%CI: 0 to 15%). In the studies using cryopreserved hAM grafts, the MH closure rate was 99% (95%CI: 94 to 100%) and the hAM graft dislocation/contracture rate was 3% (0%, 10%). The VA improvement rates were 94% (95%CI: 79 to 100%) in the retinal detachment subgroup, 37% (95%CI: 20 to 56%) in the pathologic myopia subgroup, and 62% (95%CI: 14 to 100%) in the idiopathic MH subgroup. CONCLUSION Human amniotic membrane in the treatment of refractory MH results in visual improvement. It has a high macular hole closure rate and low dislocation/contracture rate. Cryopreserved hAM grafts might have better outcomes than dehydrated grafts.

Abstract
Sepsis is a public cause of death in intensive care unit patients. Probiotics were widely used to increase the survival rate of sepsis by a series of clinical research. The purpose of this research was to investigate the therapeutic effects of Lactobacillus johnsonii 6084 in septic mice. Sepsis mouse model was induced by LPS treatment. The influence of L. johnsonii 6084 on the protection of organ injury induced by sepsis was explored. Moreover, the composition of gut microbiota was studied to clarify the mechanism of L. johnsonii 6084 therapeutic effect on sepsis. L. johnsonii 6084 treatment could conspicuously decrease the mortality and organ injury of sepsis. The reduction of gut microbial diversity and richness in septic mice were moderated by the administration of 6084. The abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria were change by LPS treatment while restored by L. johnsonii 6084. To conclude, probiotic 6084 may has optimistic result on reducing mortality of sepsis through rebalancing gut microbiota.

Abstract
Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) is an essential bioactive component that may respond to heavy metal stress; however, its exact influence on metal bioavailability and the associated mechanism remains poorly understood. This study investigated the speciation and distribution of heavy metals in soil aggregates associated with GRSP through macroscopic and microscopic approaches. A field study showed that the metal ions were distributed to the macro-aggregate fraction by partitioning the particle size classes during phytoremediation. Partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) demonstrated that the heavy metal bioavailability was negatively affected by aggregate stability (61.5%) and GRSP content (52.8%), suggesting that the soil aggregate properties regarding GRSP were vital drivers in mitigating environmental risk closely associated with toxic metal migration in soil-plant systems. The nonideal competitive adsorption (NICA)-Donnan model fitting suggested that GRSP were rich in acid site density, and the complexation with deprotonated groups dominated the speciation of heavy metals in soil. Further, the microfocus X-ray absorption/fluorescence spectroscopy analysis indicated that GRSP might promote the formation of stable metal species by binding with sulfur-containing sites. This study highlights the role of GRSP in heavy metal sequestration in contaminated soils, providing new guidance on the GRSP intervention for phytoremediation strategies.

Abstract
Objective: To compare and analyze the effect of repairing small skin and soft tissue defect wounds in functional areas of children with full-thickness skin grafts from different sites of abdomen. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. From January 2019 to June 2020, 60 female children with small skin and soft tissue defects in functional areas requiring full-thickness skin grafting, who met the inclusion criteria, were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University. According to the random number table, the children were divided into two groups, with 28 cases left in lateral abdomen group aged 5 (3, 8) years and 29 cases in lower abdomen group aged 5 (3, 7) years after the exclusion of several dropped-out children in follow-up. In lower abdomen group, 20 (12, 26) cm2 wounds of children were repaired with (24±10) cm2 full-thickness skin graft from transverse skin lines in the inferior abdomen area, while in lateral abdomen group, 23 (16, 32) cm2 wounds of children were repaired with (24±9) cm2 full-thickness skin graft from below the umbilical plane to above the groin in the lateral abdomen area. All the children were treated with continuous intradermal suture at the donor site incision and received continuous negative pressure treatment of -10.64 to -6.65 kPa in the donor and recipient areas after operation. The donor site was treated with a medical skin tension-reducing closure device since post-surgery day (PSD) 7. The use of medical skin tension-reducing closure device at the donor site, postoperative complications and suture removal time of the donor area were recorded, and the incidence of complications was calculated. On PSD 7, a self-designed efficacy satisfaction questionnaire was used to investigate the parents' satisfaction with the curative effect of their children. In post-surgery month (PSM) 1 and 6, Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the scar at the donor site, and the VSS score difference between the two time points was calculated; the scar width at the donor site was measured with a ruler, and the scar width difference between the two time points was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test or Cochran & Cox approximate t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Fisher's exact probability test. Results: The proportion of children in lateral abdomen group who used the medical skin tension-reducing closure device in the donor area for equal to or more than 4 weeks after surgery was significantly higher than that in lower abdomen group (P<0.05). On PSD 7, there was one case of partial incision dehiscence in the donor area, one case of peripheral skin redness and swelling in the donor area, and one case of fat liquefaction in the donor area in lateral abdomen group, and one case of partial incision dehiscence in the donor area in lower abdomen group. The incidence of postoperative complications at the donor site of children in lower abdomen group was significantly lower than that in lateral abdomen group (P<0.05). Compared with that in lateral abdomen group, the suture removal time at the donor site of children after surgery in lower abdomen group was significantly shorter (t'=17.23, P<0.01). On PSD 7, the satisfaction score of parents with the curative effect of their children in lower abdomen group was significantly higher than that in lateral abdomen group (t'=20.14, P<0.01). In PSM 1 and 6, the VSS scores of scar at the donor site of children in lower abdomen group were 2.7±0.9 and 2.8±1.0, respectively, which were significantly lower than 7.1±2.2 and 9.1±2.7 in lateral abdomen group (with t values of 10.00 and 11.15, respectively, P<0.01). In PSM 6, the VSS score of scar at the donor site of children in lateral abdomen group was significantly higher than that in PSM 1 (t=3.10, P<0.01), while the VSS score of scar at the donor site of children in lower abdomen group was not significantly higher than that in PSM 1 (P>0.05). The VSS score difference of scar at the donor site of children in lateral abdomen group was significantly greater than that in lower abdomen group (Z=-8.12, P<0.01). In PSM 1 and 6, the scar widths at the donor site of children in lower abdomen group were 2.0 (1.0, 2.0) and 2.0 (2.0, 3.0) mm, respectively, which were significantly narrower than 6.0 (4.0, 10.0) and 8.5 (5.0, 12.0) mm in lateral abdomen group (with Z values of -13.41 and -14.70, respectively, P<0.01). In PSM 6, the scar width at the donor site of children in lateral abdomen group was significantly wider than that in PSM 1 (Z=-2.79, P<0.01), while the scar width at the donor site of children in lower abdomen group was not significantly wider than that in PSM 1 (P>0.05). The difference of scar width at the donor site of children in lateral abdomen group was significantly greater than that in lower abdomen group (Z=-14.93, P<0.01). Conclusions: The use of full-thickness skin grafts from the lower abdomen to repair small skin and soft tissue defect wounds in functional areas of children, especially girls, is effective, simple and easy to operate, and conforms to the principle of aesthetic repair. Compared with transplantation with full-thickness skin graft from the lateral abdomen, lower abdominal full-thickness skin grafting has a low incidence of donor site complications and no obvious scar hyperplasia, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
Summary
Chatterjee (2021)’s ingenious approach to estimating a measure of dependence first proposed by Dette et al. (2013) based on simple rank statistics has quickly caught attention. This measure of dependence has the appealing property of being between 0 and 1, and being 0 or 1 if and only if the corresponding pair of random variables is independent or one is a measurable function of the other almost surely. However, more recent studies (Cao & Bickel, 2020; Shi et al., 2022) showed that independence tests based on Chatterjee’s rank correlation are unfortunately rate-inefficient against various local alternatives and they call for variants. We answer this call by proposing an improvement to Chatterjee’s rank correlation that still consistently estimates the same dependence measure but provably achieves near-parametric efficiency in testing against Gaussian rotation alternatives. This is possible by incorporating many right nearest neighbours in constructing the correlation coefficients. We thus overcome the “only one disadvantage” of Chatterjee’s rank correlation (Chatterjee, 2021, Section 7).

Abstract
Although there have been recent advances in the molecular pathology of ependymomas, little is known about the underlying molecular evolution during its development. Here, we assessed the clinical, pathological and molecular evolutionary process of ependymoma recurrence in a 9-year-old patient who had seven recurrences of supratentorial ependymoma and died from intracranial multiregional recurrences at the age of 19 years old. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 7 tumor samples (1 primary and 6 subsequent recurrent tumors) was performed to elucidate the mutation landscape and identify potential driver mutations for tumor evolution. The genetic profiles of the seven tumor specimens showed significant heterogeneity and suggested a highly branched evolutionary pattern. The mutational signatures and chromothripsis changed with treatments. Strikingly, adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L3 (ADGRL3, also known as Latrophilins 3, LPNH3) was found to be consistently mutated during the entire disease process. However, Sanger sequencing of other 78 ependymoma patients who underwent surgery at our institution showed no genetic alteration of ADGRL3, as found in the present case. The mRNA levels of ADGRL3 were significantly lower in ependymomas (n = 36), as compared with normal brain tissue (n = 3). Grade III ependymomas had the lowest ADGRL3 expression. Moreover, ependymomas with lower mRNA level of ADGRL3 had shorter overall survival. Our findings, therefore, demonstrate a rare evolutionary process of ependymoma involving ADGRL3.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reconstructing sebaceous glands is one goal of functionally healing patients who have suffered severe burns, instead of the simple pursuit of wound closure. Effective regeneration of skin appendages remains a challenge in skin wound management and research. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the differentiation of ADSC into sebaceous glands, and clarified the involvement of HGF and 5α-DHT in this process. METHODS This study used hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)- and 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT)-gelatin microspheres to treat human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and investigated the reconstruction of sebaceous glands. HGF- and 5α-DHT-gelatin microspheres were constructed using microcapsule slow-release technology. Mice full-thickness skin-wound model was established to evaluate wound healing and hematoxylin-eosin staining was utilized to determine the skin structure. RESULTS In vitro analyses found that HGF- and 5α-DHT-gelatin microspheres promoted migration of and tube formation by ADSCs. Furthermore, AKT/ERK signaling, which is related to sebocyte and sweat gland epithelial cell growth, were activated after HGF and 5α-DHT treatment. An in vivo wound healing model demonstrated that ADSCs primed with amnion-loaded HGF- and 5α-DHT-gelatin microspheres promoted wound healing and increased sebaceous gland formation compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the efficacy of ADSCs treated with amnion and HGF- and 5α-DHT-gelatin microspheres in accelerating wound healing and effectively restoring sebaceous glands. This engineered tissue provides insight into and a novel therapeutic material for burns and full-thickness skin wounds.¬¬.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of operative link on gastritis assessment (OLGA) staging system in risk assessment of gastric precancerous states and precancerous lesions. Methods: A total of 682 patients undergoing gastroscopy from January to July 2016 at the First Hospital of Jiaxing were enrolled. According to the results of gastroscopy and pathology, patients were divided into five groups by OLGA staging system, respectively. The differences of atrophic progression/reversion rate, detection rates of intraepithelial neoplasia and gastric cancer among different OLGA groups during 5-year follow-up were compared. Results: A total of 437 patients completed endoscopic follow-up, including 207 cases in Stage-0, 158 cases in Stage-Ⅰ, 47 cases in Stage-Ⅱ, 18 cases in Stage-Ⅲ and 7 cases in Stage-Ⅳ. There were 24 cases of atrophy progression, 78 cases of atrophy reversion, 5 cases of intraepithelial neoplasia and 2 cases of gastric cancer. The atrophy progression rate correlated with the rising OLGA stages(χ2=19.14, P<0.001);The rate of atrophy reversion in high-risk group was significantly lower than that in low-risk group(χ2=4.96, P=0.026); The detection rate of intraepithelial neoplasia and gastric cancer in high-risk group was significantly higher than that in low-risk group(χ2=29.63, 11.60, both P<0.05). Conclusions: Histological OLGA staging system is helpful to realize the risk stratification assessment of gastric precancerous states and precancerous lesions. It has practical significance to formulate individualized endoscopic/histological follow-up plan for OLGA high-risk group.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) combined with alveolar hypoventilation. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who were diagnosed as OSAHS by polysomnography (PSG) and underwent daytime awake transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) monitoring from November 2019 to February 2021 at the Sleep Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. A total of 177 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 167 males and 10 females, aged (40±8) years old. Patients with daytime awake PtcCO2>45 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) were diagnosed as daytime alveolar hypoventilation, with which participants were divided into the daytime alveolar hypoventilation group and non-daytime alveolar hypoventilation group. Body mass index (BMI) cut-off value predicting daytime alveolar hypoventilation was calculated and the patients were divided into the high BMI group and low BMI group. The continuous nocturnal PtcCO2 data was available for a subset of 128 patients, and the patients were divided into two groups according the daytime alveolar hypoventilation or not. Across-group differences were compared, respectively. Results: Compared with the non-daytime alveolar hypoventilation group (n=125), the BMI [27.57 (26.55, 30.33) vs 26.60 (25.06, 28.09) kg/m2], Epworth sleepiness score(ESS) score [9.50 (6.25, 12.00) vs 7.00 (4.00, 10.75)], higher oxygen desaturation index (ODI) [38.00 (15.23, 64.93) vs 26.80 (11.30, 44.30) events/h] and percentage of total time with oxygen saturation level<90% (TS90%) [11.24% (1.88%, 32.44%) vs 4.35% (0.72%, 9.87%)] of the daytime alveolar hypoventilation group(n=52) were significantly higher (P<0.05), and lowest arterial oxygen saturation (LSaO2) [74.50% (60.25%, 82.00%) vs 79.00% (73.00%, 84.50%)], mean arterial oxygen saturation (MSaO2) [94.00% (91.00%, 95.00%) vs 95.00% (94.00%, 96.00%)] were significantly lower (P<0.05). The BMI cut-off value for predicting daytime alveolar hypoventilation was 27.04 kg/m2. Of the 177 enrolled patients, 90 were in the high BMI group and 87 were in low group. Compared with the low BMI group, the proportion of daytime sleepiness, the ESS score, the prevalence of hypertension, AHI and daytime awake PtcCO2 in the high BMI group were significantly higher (P<0.05). Among the subset of 128 patients with nocturnal PtcCO2 data available, the BMI, daytime PtcCO2 level, the nocturnal CO2 level and the prevalence of sleep related alveolar hypoventilation in the daytime alveolar hypoventilation group (n=40) were significantly higher than those in the non-daytime alveolar hypoventilation group (n=88) (P<0.05). Conclusions: The OSAHS patients with alveolar hypoventilation have higher BMI and more severe nocturnal hypoxia. OSAHS patients with BMI>27.04 kg/m2 are more likely to develop sleep related alveolar hypoventilation disorder.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of siRNA targeting inhibition of α-enolase (ENO1) combined with paclitaxel on the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma SK-HEP-1 cell and its mechanism. Methods: siRNA-ENO1 (siRNA-ENO1 group) and siRNA-negative control (siRNA-NC group) were transfected into SK-HEP-1 cells in vitro, the untransfected SK-HEP-1 cells were used as the control group, and the transfection effect was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. After SK-HEP-1 cells were treated with 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 μg/L paclitaxel for 48 hours, the cell survival rate was measured by 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method and the semi inhibitory concentration of paclitaxel was calculated. SK-HEP-1 cells transfected with siRNA-ENO1 or siRNA-NC were treated with 10 μg/L paclitaxel as paclitaxel+ siRNA-ENO1 group and paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group. The proliferation, clonogenesis, invasion and apoptosis of siRNA-NC group, siRNA-ENO1 group, paclitaxel+ siRNA-ENO1 group and paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group were detected by MTT, clonogenesis, Transwell chamber and flow cytometry respectively. The expression levels of the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (p-PI3K), p-protein kinase B (Akt) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and B lymphocytoma-2 gene (Bcl-2) were detected by western blotting. Results: Compared with the control group (1.00±0.00 and 0.69±0.04, respectively), the expression levels of ENO1 mRNA and protein (0.25±0.03 and 0.23±0.02, respectively) in siRNA-ENO1 group decreased significantly (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the expression levels of ENO1 mRNA and protein in siRNA-NC group (P>0.05). Compared without treatment group [(100.00±0.00)%, P<0.05], the survival rates of SK-HEP-1 cells treated with 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 μg/L paclitaxel [(88.65±6.46)%, (72.36±6.08)%, (60.48±4.23)%, (38.52±3.56)% and (20.75±2.32)%, respectively] decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the semi inhibitory concentration of paclitaxel was 13.26 μg/L. The cell survival rate and clone formation rate of siRNA-ENO1 group [(68.86±5.12)% and (18.12±2.25)%, respectively] were lower than those of siRNA-NC group [(100.00±0.00)% and (29.65±3.06)%, respectively, P<0.05]. The cell survival rate and clone formation rate of the paclitaxel+ siRNA-ENO1 group [(43.28±2.64)% and (8.72±0.52)%, respectively] were significantly different from those of the paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group [(61.75±5.06)% and (13.48±2.16)%, respectively, P<0.05] and siRNA-ENO1 groups [(68.86±5.12)% and (18.12±2.25)%, respectively, P<0.05]. Cell invasion number in paclitaxel+ siRNA-ENO1 group (23.64±2.12) was lower than that in siRNA-ENO1 group and paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group (42.16±2.75 and 37.35±2.42, respectively, P<0.05). The apoptosis rates of paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group and siRNA-ENO1 group [(17.49±1.35)% and (15.29±1.50)%, respectively] were higher than that of siRNA-NC group [(7.21±0.70)%, P<0.05]. The apoptosis rate in the paclitaxel+ siRNA-ENO1 group [(24.59±2.40)%] was higher than those in the paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group and siRNA-ENO1 group [(17.49±1.35)% and (15.29±1.50)%, respectively, P<0.05]. The expression levels of ENO1, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway related proteins including p-PI3K and p-Akt and the expression levels of PCNA, MMP-9 and Bcl-2 in siRNA-ENO1 group and paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group were lower than those in siRNA-NC group (P<0.05). The expression levels of ENO1, p-PI3K, p-Akt, PCNA, MMP-9 and Bcl-2 in paclitaxel+ siRNA-ENO1 group were lower than those in siRNA-ENO1 group or paclitaxel+ siRNA-NC group (P<0.05). Conclusion: siRNA targeting inhibition of ENO1 expression can enhance the inhibitory effect of paclitaxel on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of SK-HEP-1 cells, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Methods: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of LINC00839 and miR-3666 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between LINC00839 and miR-3666 expression in liver cancer tissues. Hepatocellular carcinoma cells MHCC97H were cultured in vitro and divided into si-NC group, si-LINC00839 group, miR-NC group, miR-3666 group, si-LINC00839+ anti-miR-NC group, and si-LINC00839+ anti-miR-3666 group. Methylthiazoletrazolium (MTT) method and clone formation experiment were used to detect cell proliferation. Transwell array was used to detect the cell migration and invasion. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of p21, E-cadherin and MMP-2. The double luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to verify the regulatory relationship between LINC00839 and miR-3666. Results: Compared with adjacent tissues, the expression level of LINC00839 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues increased (2.82±0.27 vs. 0.96±0.10, P<0.001), but the expression level of miR-3666 decreased (0.23±0.02 vs. 1.01±0.10, P<0.001). The expression levels of LINC00839 and miR-3666 in liver cancer tissue were negatively correlated (r=-0.658, P<0.001). The survival rate of MHCC97H cells in the si-LINC00839 group [(53.91±5.41)% vs. (100.53±10.22)%], the number of clones formed (92.0±8.0 vs. 164.0±14.3), the number of migration (131.0±12.7 vs. 247.0±22.4), the number of invasion (66.0±6.4 vs. 120.0±11.6) and the protein level of MMP-2 (0.20±0.02 vs. 0.67±0.06) were lower than those in the si-NC group (P<0.001). However, the protein levels of p21 (0.76±0.07 vs. 0.25±0.02) and E-cadherin (0.78±0.08 vs. 0.14±0.01) were higher than those in the si-NC group (P<0.001). LINC00839 targeted and negatively regulated the expression of miR-3666. The survival rate of MHCC97-H cells in the miR-3666 group [(47.93±4.86)% vs. (100.11±10.21)%], the number of clone formation (78.0±7.7 vs. 166.0±15.9), the number of migration (117.0±12.1 vs. 250.0±25.0), the number of invasion (57.0±5.7 vs. 121.0±12.3) and the protein level of MMP-2 (0.16±0.01 vs. 0.69±0.07) were lower than those in the miR-NC group (all P<0.001). However, the protein levels of p21 (0.83±0.08 vs. 0.24±0.02) and E-cadherin (0.87±0.09 vs. 0.13±0.01)were higher than those in the miR-NC group (all P<0.001). The survival rate of MHCC97-H cells in the si-LINC00839+ anti-miR-3666 group [(89.94±9.05)% vs. (54.12±5.39)%], the number of clones (143.0±13.8 vs. 94.0±9.4), the number of migration (208.0±19.8 vs. 129.0±12.6), the number of invasion (108.0±10.1 vs. 65.0±6.4) and the protein level of MMP-2 (0.31±0.03 vs 0.66±0.06) were higher than those in the si-LINC00839+ anti-miR-NC group (P<0.001). However, the protein levels of p21 (0.31±0.03 vs. 0.74±0.07) and E-cadherin (0.28±0.03 vs. 0.80±0.08) were lower than those int the si-LINC00839+ anti-miR-NC group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Inhibition of LINC00839 expression may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by targeting up-regulation of miR-3666 expression.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of a contact-free sleep apnea monitor in Chinese adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: One hundred and ninety-eight participants with snoring were recruited between July 2018 and May 2019 in Sleep Center of Peking University People's Hospital, using nocturnal polysomnography (PSG) and contact-free sleep apnea monitor simultaneously. We evaluated the difference between respiratory event index (REI) generated by contact-free sleep apnea monitor and PSG-Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI). We calculated the sensitivity and specificity of OSA diagnosis using the contact-free sleep apnea monitor by hypothesis testing for means, Pearson correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman plots. Then, we used the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to find out the best cut-off of OSA diagnosis. Results: PSG-AHI and the REI of contact-free sleep apnea monitor showed no statistically significant difference [15.9 (4.7, 40.2) vs. 16.2 (6.1, 40.0), P=0.381], and they were significantly correlated (r=0.914, P<0.05), with mean difference of -0.06 (95%CI:-18.44, 18.31). The ROC curve showed that if REI ≥5 events/h was used as diagnostic criteria, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing OSA were 91.2% and 58.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the contact-free sleep apnea monitor REI≥13.3 in diagnosing moderate and severe OSA were 90.1% and 71.1%, respectively. Conclusion: The REI obtained from the contact-free sleep apnea monitor showed a good agreement with the PSG-AHI, and therefore, the contact-free sleep apnea monitor can be used for the screening of patients with moderate and severe OSA.

Abstract
Summary
Chatterjee (2021) introduced a simple new rank correlation coefficient that has attracted much attention recently. The coefficient has the unusual appeal that it not only estimates a population quantity first proposed by Dette et al. (2013) that is zero if and only if the underlying pair of random variables is independent, but also is asymptotically normal under independence. This paper compares Chatterjee’s new correlation coefficient with three established rank correlations that also facilitate consistent tests of independence, namely Hoeffding’s $D$, Blum–Kiefer–Rosenblatt’s $R$, and Bergsma–Dassios–Yanagimoto’s $\tau^*$. We compare the computational efficiency of these rank correlation coefficients in light of recent advances, and investigate their power against local rotation and mixture alternatives. Our main results show that Chatterjee’s coefficient is unfortunately rate-suboptimal compared to $D$, $R$ and $\tau^*$. The situation is more subtle for a related earlier estimator of Dette et al. (2013). These results favour $D$, $R$ and $\tau^*$ over Chatterjee’s new correlation coefficient for the purpose of testing independence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided rotational atherectomy (RA) combined with cutting balloon for pretreatment of severe calcified lesions in the coronary artery before stent placement. METHODS A total of 120 patients with severe coronary artery calcifications detected by IVUS that required percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were recruited from our hospital between January, 2016 to January, 2019. The patients were randomized into two groups for pretreatment of the lesions with semicompliant balloon (SB group, 60 cases) or RA combined with CB (RA+CB group, 60 cases), and drug-eluting stents were implanted after the procedure. The immediate success rate of PCI, vascular parameters detected by IVUS after PCI, and the rates of residual stenosis < 10% were compared between the two groups. The incidences of intraoperative complications and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 24 months after the surgery were also observed in the two groups. RESULTS The immediate success rate was significantly higher in RA+CB group than in SB group (P=0.032). After pretreatment and stent placement, the minimum stent lumen diameter (P=0.035), minimum stent lumen cross-sectional area (P=0.029), immediate lumen acquisition, immediate lumen cross-sectional area acquisition and the rate of residual stenosis < 10% were all significantly higher in RA+CB group than in SB group (P < 0.001). The patients in RA+ CB group showed obviously less residual stenosis of lumen cross-sectional area than those in SB group after the surgery (χ2= 7.859, P=0.005). The incidences of intraoperative complications (χ2=5.997, P=0.014) and MACE within 24 months after the operation (χ2=4.285, P=0.038) were significantly lower in RA+CB group than in SB group. CONCLUSION For patients with severe coronary artery calcifications eligible for PCI, RA combined with CB angioplasty can significantly improve the success rate of immediate PCI, expand the lumen diameter and cross-sectional area of the stent after PCI, enhance immediate lumen gain, and reduce the incidence of intraoperative complications and MACE after the operation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility of applying telemedicine model in disease management for patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in China. Methods: A total of 24 patients were enrolled with suspected OSAHS who were admitted to the Sleep Center of Peking University People's Hospital from October 2015 to September 2016. Patients were diagnosed by electronic questionnaire assessment and home sleep apnea monitoring (HSAT) and were treated with remote automatic positive airway pressure (APAP). After 1 week, 1 month and 3 months of treatment, the patients were followed up by video. The follow-up questionnaire was completed by the patients through an independent data management platform. The APAP treatment data and compliance data were obtained through a built-in digital card of the APAP device. Linear regression model was used to explore the factors related to patient compliance. One-way repeated-measure analysis of variance was used to compare the changes of APAP duration and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) among patients at different treatment time points. Paired t-test was used to compare the EPWORTH scale (ESS) scores before and after treatment. Results: A total of 22 patients were diagnosed with OSAHS, including 20 males (90.9%), aged (45.6±10.2) years and AHI before treatment was (46.9±20.4) times/h. A total of 20 OSAHS patients received APAP treatment, and the proportion of patients with good compliance after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months of treatment were 15/19, 10/19 and 8/18, respectively. The severity of sleepiness before treatment affected compliance. Each 1-point increase in ESS score was associated with a 6.16% (95%CI: 3.01%, 9.31%) increase in compliance. Age, body mass index and AHI before treatment had no effect on compliance (all P values>0.05). The AHI of the patients who had been treated for 1 week, 1 month and 3 months were (2.5±2.1), (2.2±1.6) and (1.9±1.0) times/h, respectively. (P=0.195). After 3 months of treatment, the ESS score was (7.0±3.3), lower than that before treatment (10.6±3.1) (P=0.079). Conclusion: Telemedicine mode of diagnosis and treatment of OSAHS patients has good therapeutic effect and patient compliance, which is practical and feasible.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the utility of a type 3 portable monitor (PM) at home for the diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with stable congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods: Seventy-six consecutive patients with CHF (61 males, 15 females, mean±standard deviation age (57.0±16.9) years) were enrolled from the sleep center of Peking university People's Hospital during January 2016 to January 2019, and underwent overnight, unattended home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) with a portable monitor followed by an overnight simultaneous polysomnogram (PSG) with in-laboratory portable monitor (in-lab PM) recording within one week. The consistency of apnea hypopnea index (AHI), obstructive sleep apnea index (OAI), central sleep apnea index (CAI) between HSAT and PSG as well as the in-lab PM and PSG were analyzed by Bland-Altman plot; the sensitivity and specificity of PM for the diagnosis of SDB in patients with CHF were evaluated. Results: The number of patients included in the final analysis were 65 in HSAT, 63 in in-lab PM and 65 in PSG. AHI [M(Q1,Q3)] was 26.1 (10.9,40.1) events/h by HSAT, 27.9 (11.3,43.2) events/h by in-lab PM, both were not different from AHI 29.0 (10.2,45.0) events/h by PSG (P>0.05). The AHI, OAI and CAI assessed by HSAT correlated significantly with those by PSG (r=0.892, 0.903, 0.831, P<0.05). Bland-Altman analysis of AHI, OAI, CAI by PSG versus HSAT showed a mean difference of 3.1 events/h, 0.8 events/h, 1.2 events/h; limits of consistency were -15.2 to 21.4 events/h, -9.7 to 11.3 events/h, -10.9 to 13.2 events/h, respectively. Based on a threshold of AHI ≥5 events/h, HSAT had 94.6% sensitivity, 75% specificity, compared to PSG. For detecting Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), a sensitivity of 96.4%,a specificity of 97.2% were achieved, compared to PSG. Conclusion: Type 3 PM can be used to diagnose SDB in patients with CHF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Kruppel like factors 11 (KLF11) on oxidative stress, apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in osteoarthritis (OA) and its mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS Human articular cartilage tissue was used to study the correlation between KLF11 and OA. Furthermore, human chondrocytes were used to explore the effects of KLF11 on oxidative stress, apoptosis, and ERS in chondrocytes by overexpressing KLF11 and using the OA inducer IL-1β. The p38MAPK signaling pathway agonist P79350 was used to study the effect of KLF11 on the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. RESULTS Articular cartilage tissue in OA patients and IL-1β-induced chondrocytes expressed higher KLF11. Overexpression of KLF11 significantly reduced oxidative stress levels, apoptosis levels, and activity of ERS-related pathways in chondrocytes. Moreover, P79350 attenuated the protective effect of KLF11 on chondrocytes by activating the p38MAPK signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS KLF11 protects against OA by inhibiting oxidative stress, apoptosis, and ERS in chondrocytes by inhibiting p38MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
We present the first results of the Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) Muon g-2 Experiment for the positive muon magnetic anomaly a_{μ}≡(g_{μ}-2)/2. The anomaly is determined from the precision measurements of two angular frequencies. Intensity variation of high-energy positrons from muon decays directly encodes the difference frequency ω_{a} between the spin-precession and cyclotron frequencies for polarized muons in a magnetic storage ring. The storage ring magnetic field is measured using nuclear magnetic resonance probes calibrated in terms of the equivalent proton spin precession frequency ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'} in a spherical water sample at 34.7 °C. The ratio ω_{a}/ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, together with known fundamental constants, determines a_{μ}(FNAL)=116 592 040(54)×10^{-11} (0.46 ppm). The result is 3.3 standard deviations greater than the standard model prediction and is in excellent agreement with the previous Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) E821 measurement. After combination with previous measurements of both μ^{+} and μ^{-}, the new experimental average of a_{μ}(Exp)=116 592 061(41)×10^{-11} (0.35 ppm) increases the tension between experiment and theory to 4.2 standard deviations.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the value of new gastric cancer screening scoring system and serum pepsinogen (PG) combined with gastrin-17 (G-17) (new ABC method) in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions. Methods: A total of 576 patients were enrolled after the examination of endoscopy at Endoscopy Center,Department of Gastroenterology,from December 2017 to December 2019. There were 275 males and 301 females with an age of 40-72 (52±10) years. According to the new ABC method and the new gastric cancer screening scoring system, the population was divided into three groups according to age,gender,serum helicobacter pylori antibody test, PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ(PGR) and G-17 before endoscopy. The detection rates of gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis by two different methods were analyzed and the value in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions were evaluated. Statistical analysis was accomplished by Chi-square test and Gamma coefficient analysis. Results: A total of 576 patients were enrolled. According to the new ABC method, 382 patients were classified into low-risk group, 170 patients into middle-risk group and 24 patients into high-risk group, respectively. In the new ABC method, 1 case of gastric cancer (0.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 8 cases (4.7%) in middle-risk group and 3 cases (12.5%) in high-risk group. As for atrophic gastritis, 89 cases (23.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 94 cases (55.3%) in middle-risk group and 18 cases (75.0%) in high-risk group. According to the new gastric cancer screening scoring system, 336 patients were classified into low-risk group, 205 patients into middle-risk group and 35 patients into high-risk group, respectively. One case of gastric cancer (0.3%) was detected in low-risk group, 6 cases (2.9%) in middle-risk group and 5 cases (14.3%) in high-risk group. As for atrophic gastritis, 41 cases (12.2%) were detected in low-risk group, 134 cases (65.4%) in middle-risk group and 26 cases (74.3%) in high-risk group. In this two methods, the prevalence of gastric cancer increased according to the disease stage (χ²=22.509, P<0.01; χ²=24.156, P<0.01); in terms of atrophic gastritis, the detection rate of the new screening scoring system in the low-risk group was significantly lower than that in the new ABC method (χ²=14.844, P<0.01), but higher in the middle-risk group (χ2=3.955, P=0.047). Gamma coefficient test showed that there were strong correlations between gastroscopy pathology and classification grade of both methods (P<0.01). Conclusions: Both methods are suitable for screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions, and the new scoring system may be more valuable in screening gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.

Abstract
Protein phosphatase 4 (PPP4) is a protein phosphatase that, although highly expressed in the testis, currently has an unclear physiological role in this tissue. Here, we show that deletion of PPP4 catalytic subunit gene Ppp4c in the mouse causes male-specific infertility. Loss of PPP4C, when assessed by light microscopy, did not obviously affect many aspects of the morphology of spermatogenesis, including acrosome formation, nuclear condensation and elongation, mitochondrial sheaths arrangement and '9 + 2' flagellar structure assembly. However, the PPP4C mutant had sperm tail bending defects (head-bent-back), low sperm count, poor sperm motility and had cytoplasmic remnants attached to the middle piece of the tail. The cytoplasmic remnants were further investigated by transmission electron microscopy to reveal that a defect in cytoplasm removal appeared to play a significant role in the observed spermiogenesis failure and resulting male infertility. A lack of PPP4 during spermatogenesis causes defects that are reminiscent of oligoasthenoteratospermia (OAT), which is a common cause of male infertility in humans. Like the lack of functional PPP4 in the mouse model, OAT is characterized by abnormal sperm morphology, low sperm count and poor sperm motility. Although the causes of OAT are probably heterogeneous, including mutation of various genes and environmentally induced defects, the detailed molecular mechanism(s) has remained unclear. Our discovery that the PPP4C-deficient mouse model shares features with human OAT might offer a useful model for further studies of this currently poorly understood disorder.

Abstract
The present study sought to investigate the association between silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and autophagy during systemic inflammatory response syndrome following burn injury. The experimental burn model in mice and macrophages were established. SIRT1 mRNA expression was quantified by quantitative real-time PCR. The protein levels of SIRT1 and the conversion of light chain 3 (LC3)-I to LC3-II were determined by western blot analysis. The formation of autophagosomes was assessed by green fluorescence protein-tagged LC3 fluorescence. The contents of inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-18 were measured by ELISA. SIRT1 was highly expressed in burned tissues and RAW264.7 cells treated with serum obtained from mice with burn injuries. Moreover, SIRT1 overexpression augmented, whereas sirtinol, an inhibitor of SIRT1, attenuated burn injury-induced increasing number of autophagosomes and expression levels of LC3-II/LC3-I in RAW264.7 cells. Besides, sirtinol effectively prevented SIRT1-induced pro-inflammation during burn injury. Furthermore, autophagy inhibition by 3-methyladenine significantly attenuated SIRT1 overexpression-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production. SIRT1 abolished burn injury-induced inflammatory response by inducing autophagy.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction condition caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and lack of effective treatment method. Supplementation of probiotics has emerged as a potential biotherapy for inflammatory diseases in recent years, but its role in protecting viscera against the damage caused by sepsis and the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Streptococcus thermophilus 19 is one of the most well-studied probiotics, which is selected in this study among seven strains isolated from homemade yogurt due to its optimal ability of suppressing the inflammation response in vitro. It showed significant decrease in the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the co-culture of S. thermophilus 19 and LPS-treated mouse macrophage. The effect of S. thermophilus 19 in mice and the response of mice gut microbiota were subsequently investigated. In LPS-induced septic mouse model, S. thermophilus 19 was highly resistant to LPS and exhibited significantly decreased expressions of inflammatory factors compared to LPS-treated mice. A MiSeq-based 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that the decrease of gut microbial diversity in mice intraperitoneally injected with 1 mg/ml LPS were mitigated by the administration of S. thermophilus 19. Fusobacterium significantly decreased during the development of sepsis and rose again after supplement strain 19, while Flavonifractor showed the opposite trend, which demonstrated these two genera were the key bacteria that may function in the mice gut microbiota for alleviation of LPS-induced inflammation reaction. To conclude, S. thermophilus 19 may be a potential candidate for novel biotherapeutic interventions against inflammation caused by sepsis.

Abstract
Ependymomas are glial brain tumors accounting for approximately 2~3% of all primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), and 12% of all pediatric intracranial tumors. To better understand the evolution process of ependymomas, we studied the clinical, pathological and genetic development of a rare girl case with repeatedly recurrent ependymoma. This girl was diagnosed as ependymoma at age of 9 years old, and experienced 7 times tumor relapse and received 9 times surgeries but finally ceased at 19 years old with multiregional recurrences. The pathological characteristics, radiographic images and therapeutic strategies of the patient were all retrieved. Molecular markers confirmed the diagnosis of anaplastic ependymoma based on the updated WHO guideline for CNS tumors. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to elucidate the landscape of mutation signatures and to identify potential driver mutations along the tumor progression. The seven tumor specimens showed a highly branched evolutionary pattern. There were six gene mutations found in 5 of the 7 specimens (PCDHA4, PCDHA8, SEC14L6, SETD2, RIOK2, and SLCO2A1) and three in 6 of 7 the samples (RYR1, SNX25, DSC2). Strikingly, there was one gene, ADGRL3, which was found to be consistently mutated in the entire disease progression process. Our findings therefore suggest that ADGRL3 might play roles in the disease progression of ependymoma patient.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Catheter ablation improves clinical outcomes in symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, the role of catheter ablation in HF patients with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is less clear.
Purpose
To determine the efficacy of catheter ablation of AF in patients with HFpEF relative to those with HFrEF.
Methods
We performed an extensive literature search and systematic review of studies that compared AF recurrence at one year after catheter ablation of AF in patients with HFpEF versus those with HFrEF. Risk ratio (RR) 95% confidence intervals were measured using the Mantel-Haenszel method for dichotomous variables, where a RR<1.0 favors the HFpEF group.
Results
Four studies with a total of 563 patients were included, of which 312 had HFpEF and 251 had HFrEF. All patients included were undergoing first time catheter ablation of AF. Patients with HFpEF experienced similar recurrence of AF one year after ablation on or off antiarrhythmic drugs compared to those with HFrEF (RR 0.87; 95% CI 0.69–1.10, p=0.24), as shown in Figure 1. Recurrence of AF was assessed with electrocardiography, Holter monitoring, and/or event monitoring at scheduled follow-up visits and final follow-up.
Conclusion
Based on the results of this meta-analysis, catheter ablation of AF in patients with HFpEF appears as efficacious in maintaining sinus rhythm as in those with HFrEF.

Abstract
Objective: To clarify the clinical efficacy of Yiqi Huoxue recipe in the treatment of liver fibrosis of chronic viral hepatitis. Methods: An open, positive-drug, parallel-controlled study method was applied. A total of 207 cases of liver fibrosis with chronic hepatitis B and C diagnosed with liver biopsy and transient elastography were selected. According to the principle of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine, self-made Yiqi Huoxue recipe (n = 127) and Fuzheng Huayu capsule (n = 80) were used for the treatment course of 24-48 weeks. Change score of TCM symptom, liver biochemistry, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), and noninvasive liver fibrosis index [aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI), and fibrosis-4 score (FIB-4)] were compared between the two groups to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Yiqi Huoxue recipe on liver fibrosis. Results: Yiqi Huoxue recipe group and Fuzheng Huayu capsule group baseline LSM, APRI and FIB-4 was compared, and there was no statistically significant difference between them (P > 0.05). Yiqi Huoxue recipe and Fuzheng Huayu capsule received patients had improved symptom scores to a certain extent. Hepatic facies, discomfort over liver area, and soreness and weakness of waist and knees (P < 0.05) was significantly improved in Yiqi Huoxue recipe than Fuzheng Huayu capsule. Liver biochemical indicators (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP) had gradually relapsed with the extension of treatment duration and the normalization rate between the two groups after 24 to 48 weeks had reached 100% vs. 100%, 100% vs. 93.8%, 96.8% vs. 92.3% and 87.5% vs. 81.8%. After 12 weeks of treatment, APRI values of both groups had significantly reduced, and after 48 weeks of treatment, LSM values of both groups had significantly improved. Moreover, Yiqi Huoxue recipe FIB-4 score was significantly improved after 48 weeks of treatment, and the difference was statistically significant compared to Fuzheng Huayu capsule group (P < 0.05). After treatment, LSM, APRI, and FIB-4 total effectiveness in the two groups were 80.0% vs. 63.6%, P = 0.046; 68.4% vs. 52.0%, P = 0.052; 68.4% vs. 62.0%, P = 0.437, respectively. LSM total effectiveness was significantly higher in Yiqi Huoxue recipe treated group than Fuzheng Huayu capsule group. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine Yiqi Huoxue decoction can be used as an optimal treatment for liver fibrosis of chronic viral hepatitis.

Abstract
This study showed that nodal tumour-stroma ratio (NTSR) is an independent prognostic factor for overall and disease-free survival of patients with gastric cancer. Both relative stroma-rich primary tumour-stroma ratio (PTSR) and NTSR were independent negative prognostic factors for overall survival in gastric cancer. This study supports assessment of tumour-stroma ratio in the routine pathological diagnosis of gastric cancer. validated in node-positive disease.
