Abstract
Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening disease and currently there is no pharmacological therapy. Sympathetic nerve overactivity plays an important role in the development of TAAD. Sympathetic innervation is mainly controlled by nerve growth factor (NGF, a key neural chemoattractant) and semaphoring 3A (Sema3A, a key neural chemorepellent), while the roles of these two factors in aortic sympathetic innervation and especially TAAD are unknown. We hypothesized that genetically manipulating the NGF/Sema3A ratio by the Ngf -driven Sema3a expression approach may reduce aortic sympathetic nerve innervation and mitigate TAAD progression. A mouse strain of Ngf gene-driven Sema3a expression (namely NgfSema3a/Sema3a mouse) was established by inserting the 2A-Sema3A expression frame to the Ngf terminating codon using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. TAAD was induced by β-aminopropionitrile monofumarate (BAPN) both in NgfSema3a/Sema3a mice and wild type (WT) littermates. Contrary to our expectation, the BAPN-induced TAAD was severer in NgfSema3a/Sema3a mice than in wild-type (WT) mice. In addition, NgfSema3a/Sema3a mice showed higher aortic sympathetic innervation, inflammation and extracellular matrix degradation than the WT mice after BAPN treatment. The aortic vascular smooth muscle cells isolated from NgfSema3a/Sema3a mice and pretreated with BAPN in vivo for two weeks showed stronger capabilities of proliferation and migration than that from the WT mice. We conclude that the strategy of Ngf -driven Sema3a expression cannot suppress but worsens the BAPN-induced TAAD. By investigating the aortic phenotype of NgfSema3a/Sema3a mouse strain, we unexpectedly find a path to exacerbate BAPN-induced TAAD which might be useful in future TAAD studies.

Abstract
Phage therapy is one of the most important tools for the treatment of infections with multi-drug resistant bacteria. Such phages are usually isolated from hospital effluents, however, no systematic study on the distribution of phages in hospital effluents has been conducted so far. The aim of this study was to isolate the corresponding phages of common pathogenic bacteria isolated in the clinic as hosts, so as to assess the ecological distribution of phages in hospital wastewater and to provide a reference for the isolation and application of phages of drug-resistant bacteria in the clinic. A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. The 125 pathogenic bacteria (belonging to 16 different strains) isolated from the clinical microbiology laboratory of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from May to June 2023 were selected as the target strains, and the phages corresponding to these strains were isolated and purified from the hospital wastewater by using the double-layer plate sandwich method. At the same time, the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in the same batch of wastewater was analyzed with the help of mNGS sequencing technology, so as to preliminarily investigate the abundance correspondence between pathogenic bacteria and phages in wastewater. The results showed that a total of 56 phage strains were isolated from 125 clinical pathogens as hosts, corresponding to six pathogens, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. All six pathogenic bacteria contained strains with different degrees of drug resistance, with a higher percentage of multi-drug resistant strains in A. baumannii, Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa. The phage acquisition rates of these six pathogens were, in descending order, Escherichia coli (80%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (75%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (70%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (66.67%), Acinetobacter baumannii (36.36%) and Staphylococcus aureus (12.5%). Preliminary mNGS sequencing results showed that the pathogenic bacteria with higher abundance in the batch of effluent were Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella michiganensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In conclusion, phages of most common clinical Gram-negative pathogens were isolated from hospital wastewater with high isolation rates; however, phages of Gram-positive pathogens were isolated at lower rates, and only phages corresponding to Staphylococcus aureus were isolated in this study. The corresponding mNGS sequencing results showed that the distribution of Gram-negative pathogens in sewage may had a positive correlation with the ecological distribution of phages.

Abstract
Objective: To identify efficacy and safety of pudendal nerve block in tubing through the third posterior sacral foramen for the treatment of pudendal neuralgia (PN). Methods: A retrospective study with 222 PN patients was conducted in the Department of Pain Management of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from January 2020 to April 2023. These patients were divided into two groups based on their treatment methods: pudendal nerve block in tubing through the third posterior sacral foramen (observation group, n=101) and ultrasound-guided pudendal nerve block (control group, n=121). Primary outcome measure was the 90-day postoperative pain relief rate. Secondary outcome measures included visual analog scale (VAS) at 1, 7, 14, 30 and 90 d after surgery, the incidence of tramadol uses after surgery, postoperative self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores and the incidence of adverse events. Factors that influenced pain relief within 90 days after surgery were analyzed by using binary logistic regression analysis. Results: Observation group included 34 males and 67 females, aged (49.8±16.0) years old. Control group included 38 males and 83 females, aged (43.7±14.0) years old. The 90-day postoperative pain relief rate of the observation group patients was 38.6% (39/101), which was higher than the 24.0% (29/121) of the control group patients (P=0.018). Both the observation group and the control group showed an interaction effect of time and group after treatment for VAS scores (both P<0.05). In intra-group comparison, the VAS scores at 1, 7, 14, 30 and 90 d after treatment in both groups were lower than those before treatment (all P<0.05). In inter-group comparison, the differences of the VAS scores were not statistically significant in the observation group compared with those in the control group at 1, 7, 14, 30 and 90 d after surgery (all P>0.05). The SAS score of the observation group at 90 d after surgery was 51.5±6.2, which was lower than the 53.4±5.8 of the control group (P=0.022). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative tramadol uses and adverse events between the two groups (both P>0.05). Pudendal nerve block in tubing through the third posterior sacral foramen was a protective factor for pain postoperative relief in PN patients at 90 d after surgery (OR=1.92, 95%CI: 1.05-3.48, P=0.033). Conclusion: Pudendal nerve block in tubing through the third posterior sacral foramen is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment. It has a higher postoperative pain relief rate within 90 d after surgery, without increasing the uses of postoperative rescue analgesics and the incidence of adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dextroversion is defined as the presence of dextrocardia with situs solitus, dextro-loop ventricles, and normally related great arteries. Dextrocardia can pose technical challenges when interventional treatments are required. However, the challenges posed by dextroversion can be amplified due to the disruption of typical anatomical relationships, the unpredictable positioning and boundaries of cardiac structures resulting from the shift, and the pathological processes influencing rotation.
CASE SUMMARY A 73-year-old woman with cardiac dextroversion suffered from a recurrence of atrial fibrillation after her radiofrequency catheter ablation and Despite the cessation of antiarrhythmic medications, there were episodes of sinus pauses and symptomatic bradycardia, with heart rates dropping as low as 28 beats per minute.
CONCLUSION Dextroversion makes the implantation of leadless pacemakers more challenging, and appropriate adjustments in fluoroscope angles may be crucial for intracardiac operations. Additionally, when advancing delivery systems, attention should be paid to rotational direction during valve-crossing procedures; changes in the perspective of posture angle between normal cardiac position and dextroversion can serve as references.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foreign bodies in the pulmonary circulation have been documented in the literature and are typically caused by interventional procedures. However, reports of pulmonary artery foreign bodies during femoral vein puncture are rare, and there is no description of this complication from the guidewire surface flows into the pulmonary artery during a pulse ablation in a patient with atrial fibrillation. CASE SUMMARY We described a case in which a linear foreign body suddenly appeared on fluoroscopy image during pulsed ablation of atrial fibrillation. Multiposition angiography showed that the foreign body was currently lodged in the pulmonary artery but was hemodynamically stable. We then chose to use an interventional approach to remove the foreign body from the pulmonary artery. This foreign body was subsequently confirmed to be from the hydrophilic coating of the guidewire surface. This may be related to the difficulties encountered during the puncture of the femoral vein. This is a rare and serious complication of femoral vein puncture. Therefore, we reported this case in order to avoid a similar situation. CONCLUSION Mismatches between interventional devices from different manufacturers used for femoral venipuncture may result in pulmonary artery foreign bodies.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of musculoskeletal diseases among interventional surgeons in top three hospitals, and to provide suggestions for prevention of musculoskeletal diseases. Methods: In June 2022, a self-designed questionnaire was used to collect general information of doctors engaged in interventional surgery (121) and non-interventional surgery (124) in some top three hospitals in Tianjin. The standard version of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to investigate information related to musculoskeletal diseases. The prevalence and risk factors of musculoskeletal diseases among interventional and non-interventional surgeons were analyzed. Results: The prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases among interventional surgeons and non-interventional surgeons was 59.50% (72/121) and 62.90% (78/124) . Compared with non-interventional surgeons, interventional surgeons had a higher prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases in the shoulders and upper back, and a lower prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases in the waist. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, weekly time of physical exercise, time of intervention operation, and wearing protective clothing were independent risk factors for musculoskeletal diseases (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The prevalence rate of musculoskeletal diseases among doctors engaged in interventional surgery is relatively high in some top three hospitals in Tianjin, and proper enhancement of physical exercise and shortening of interventional time are conducive to reducing musculoskeletal diseases.

Abstract
In 2021, a total of 151 pregnant women were selected from the suburb of Shanghai. A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain data about maternal age, gestational week, total annual household income, education level and passive smoking among pregnant women and one spot urine was collected. The concentrations of eight neonicotinoid pesticides and four metabolites in urine were measured by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The differences in detection frequencies and concentrations of neonicotinoid pesticides and their metabolites among pregnant women with different characteristics were compared, and the influencing factors of the detection of neonicotinoid pesticides in urine were analyzed. The results showed that at least one neonicotinoid pesticide was detected in 93.4% (141 samples) of urine samples. The detection frequencies of N-desmethyl-acetamiprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, and N-desmethyl-clothianidin were high, about 78.1% (118 samples), 75.5% (114 samples), 68.9% (104 samples), and 44.4% (67 samples), respectively. The median concentration of the sum of all neonicotinoid pesticides was 2.66 μg/g. N-desmethyl-acetamiprid had the highest detection concentration with a median concentration of 1.04 μg/g. A lower urinary detection frequency of imidacloprid and its metabolites was seen in pregnant women aged 30-44 years [OR (95%CI): 0.23 (0.07-0.77)]. A higher detection frequency of clothianidin and its metabolites was seen in pregnant women with per capita annual household income≥100, 000 yuan [OR (95%CI): 6.15 (1.56-24.28)]. There was widespread exposure to neonicotinoid pesticides and their metabolites in pregnant women from the suburb of Shanghai, which might pose potential health risks to pregnant women, and maternal age and household income were potential influencing factors of the exposure to neonicotinoid pesticides.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical value and efficacy of the nomogram model in evaluating the prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma after interventional therapy. Methods: The clinical data of 259 patients with cholangiocarcinoma who received interventional therapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of zhengzhou University from January 2014 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 148 males and 111 females, aged from 26 to 91 (65±12) years. They were randomly divided into a training group (181 cases) and a validation group (78 cases) in a ratio of 7∶3. Cox regression analysis was performed in the training group, independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients were screened, and a nomogram for 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year survival was constructed. The performance of the nomogram was analyzed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value, calibration curve, and decision curve, and the predictive efficacy of the model was evaluated in the validation group. Results: There was no significant difference in baseline data between the training group and the validation group, which was comparable. Regression analysis showed that T stage (T2: HR=0.147,95%CI: 0.077-0.281;T3: HR=0.207,95%CI: 0.122-0.351;T4: HR=0.864,95%CI: 0.537-1.393), tumor diameter (17-33 mm: HR=0.201,95%CI: 0.119-0.341;≥33 mm: HR=0.795,95%CI: 0.521-1.211) and differentiation degree(middle differentiation: HR=3.318,95%CI: 2.082-5.289;highly differentiation: HR=1.842,95%CI: 1.184-2.867) were risk factors affecting the prognosis of interventional therapy for cholangiocarcinoma. The AUC values of the survival curve prediction models were generally consistent between the training and validation groups, and the AUC values of the training group at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years were 0.925 (95%CI: 0.888-0.963), 0.921 (95%CI: 0.877-0.964) and 0.974 (95%CI: 0.957-0.993), respectively. In the validation group, the 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year AUC values were 0.951 (95%CI: 0.911-0.991), 0.917 (95%CI: 0.857-0.977) and 0.848 (95%CI: 0.737-0.959), respectively, and the AUC values were all greater than 0.8, suggesting that the nomogram had better discrimination ability. The calibration curves of the prediction models of the two groups were basically consistent, and the shape of the calibration curves at 6 months and 1 year fitted the ideal curve, while the fitting degree of the calibration curves at 2 years was relatively poor. The decision curve showed the high clinical utility of this nomogram in predicting the 6-month, 1-year survival of patients with cholangiocarcinoma. Conclusions: T stage, tumor diameter, and differentiation are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with interventional cholangiocarcinoma, and the nomogram model proposed in this study has good distinguishing ability and exact clinical value for prognosis evaluation.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the household secondary attack rates of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and the associated factors. Methods: A COVID-19 outbreak caused by the Delta variant occurred in Nanjing in July 2021. A total of 235 cases with current addresses in Nanjing were reported from 171 households. The subjects in this study were selected from household close contact(s) of infected cases. The information on household index cases and their contacts were collected, and the household secondary attack rate (HSAR) and the risk factors were analyzed by the multi-factor logistic regression model. Results: A total of 234 cases of household close contacts and 64 household secondary cases were reported from 103 households, and the HSAR was 27.4% (64/234, 95%CI:22.0% to 33.4%). The proportions of household size for 2 to 3, 4 to 5, and 6 to 9 were 64.1% (66), 26.2% (27) and 9.7% (10), respectively. A total of 35 cases of household cluster outbreaks were reported (35/103, 34.0%). The number of the first case in the household (FCH) was 103 and males accounted for 27.2% (28 cases), with the median age (Q1, Q3) of 49 (9, 56). The number of household close contacts was 234 and males accounted for 59.0% (138 cases), with the median age (Q1, Q3) of 42 (20, 55) and the median exposure period (Q1, Q3) of 3 (1, 3) days. The multi-factor logistic regression model showed that the higher HSAR was observed in the FCH with the features of airport staff (OR=2.913, 95%CI:1.469-5.774), detection from home quarantine screening (OR=6.795, 95%CI:1.761-26.219) and detection from mass screening (OR=4.239, 95%CI:1.098-16.368). Meanwhile, higher HSAR was observed in cases with longer household exposure (OR=1.221, 95%CI:1.040-1.432), non-vaccination (OR=2.963, 95%CI:1.288-6.813) and incomplete vaccinations (OR=2.842, 95%CI:0.925-8.731). Conclusion: The generation interval of the Delta variant is shortened, and the ability of transmission within the household is enhanced. In the outbreak in Nanjing, the associated factors of HSAR are occupation, detection route, vaccination and exposure period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sustained cardiac hypertrophy often develops maladaptive myocardial remodeling, and eventually progresses to heart failure and sudden death. Therefore, maladaptive hypertrophy is considered as a critical therapeutic target for many heart diseases. Mitophagy, a crucial mechanism in mitochondria quality control and cellular homeostasis, has been implicated in diverse cardiac disorders such as myocardial infarction, diabetic cardiomyopathy, cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. However, what role mitophagy plays in heart diseases remains an enigma. PARKIN functions as an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase and mediates mitophagy cascades. It is still unclear whether PARKIN participates in the regulation of cardiac hypertrophy. RESULTS PARKIN was downregulated in cardiomyocytes and hearts under hypertrophic stress. Enforced expression of PARKIN inhibited Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Compared to wide-type mice with Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy, Parkin transgenic mice subjected to Ang II administration showed attenuated cardiac hypertrophy and improved cardiac function. In addition, mitophagy machinery was impaired in response to Ang II, which was rescued by overexpression of PARKIN. PARKIN exerted the anti-hypertrophy effect through restoring mitophagy. In further exploring the underlying mechanisms, we found that PARKIN was transcriptionally activated by FOXO3a. FOXO3a promoted mitophagy and suppressed cardiac hypertrophy by targeting Parkin. CONCLUSIONS The present study reveals a novel cardiac hypertrophy regulating model composed of FOXO3a, PARKIN and mitophagy program. Modulation of their levels may provide a new approach for preventing cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the application of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in early-staged cervical cancer by laparoscopy. Methods: It was a prospective, single-arm, single-center clinical study. Seventy-eight cases of cervical cancer patients were collected from July 2015 to December 2018 at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University. All the patients were injected with tracer into the disease-free block of cervical tissue after anesthesia by the same surgeon who learned sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping technique in Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and underwent SLN mapping followed by complete pelvic lymphadenectomy. Moreover, all the dissected lymph nodes were stained with hematoxylin eosin staining (HE) pathological examination. Besides, the negative SLN on hematoxylin-eosin staining were detected by immunohistochemistry cytokeratin staining micro-metastasis. To analyze the distribution, detection rate, false negative rate the sensitivity and negative predictive value of the SLN in early-staged cervical cancer by laparoscopy, and explore the value of SLN mapping in predicting the lymph nodes metastasis in early-staged cervical cancer. Results: The overall detection rate of SLN in cervical cancer was 99% (77/78), bilateral detection rate was 87% (68/78). The average of 12.4 lymph node (LN) and 3.6 SLN were dissected for each patients each side. SLN of cervical cancer were mainly distributed in the obturator space (61.5%, 343/558), followed by external iliac (23.5%, 131/558), common iliac (7.3%, 41/558), para-uterine (3.8%, 21/558), internal iliac (2.2%, 12/558), para abdominal aorta (1.1%, 6/558), and anterior sacral lymphatic drainage area (0.7%, 4/558). Fourteen cases of LN metastasis were found among all 78 cases. There were a total of 38 positive LN, including 26 SLN metastasis and 12 none sentinel LN metastasis. Through immunohistochemical staining and pathological ultra-staging, 1 SLN was found to be isolated tumor cells (ITC), and 5 SLNs were found to be micro-metastases (MIC), accounting for 23% (6/26) of positive SLN. SLN mapping with pathological ultra-staging improved the prediction of LN metastasis in cervical cancer (2/14). Metastatic SLN mainly distributed in the obturator space (65%, 17/26), peri-uterine region (12%, 3/26), common iliac region (15%, 4/26), and external iliac region (8%, 2/26). The consistency of the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis by SLN biopsy and postoperative retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis showed that the Kappa value was 1.000 (P<0.001), indicated that the metastasis status of SLN and retroperitoneal lymph node were completely consistent. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, false-negative rate, and negative predictive value of SLN biopsy in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis were 100%, 100%, 100%, 0, and 100%, respectively. Conclusions: SLN in early-staged cervical cancer patients were mainly distributed in the obturator and external iliac space, pathalogical ultra-staging of SLN could improve the prediction of LN metastasis. Intraoperative SLN mapping is safe, feasible and could predict the state of retroperitoneal LN metastasis in early-staged cervical cancer. SLNB may replace systemic pelvic lymphadenectomy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the disease burden of pancreatic cancer in major Asian countries and forecast the burden of that in China, which helps to provide reference for the prevention and control of pancreatic cancer. Methods: Data on disease burden of pancreatic cancer among global and major Asian countries from on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 were collected to describe burden distribution through the absolute numbers or standardized rates of incidence, death and disability adjusted life years (DALY) by year, sex and socio-demographic index. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) was used to assess the trend of standardized rate. The proportion of deaths attributable to risk factors for pancreatic cancer in 2019 was used to compare by age, sex and region. ARIMA model was performed with R language to predict change of age-standardized incidence and death rates of pancreatic cancer from 2020 to 2029. Results: From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence rates of pancreatic cancer in China increased from 3.17/100 000 to 5.78/100 000, and the standardized death rate increased from 3.34/100 000 to 5.99/100 000. The increases exceeded other high-income Asia countries. In the past three decades, the standardized incidence, death and DALY rates of pancreatic cancer in global have increased year by year. Among the major countries in Asia, China has the highest growth rate of disease burden (EAPC of standardized incidence rates=2.32%, 95% CI: 2.10%-2.48% and EAPC of standardized death rate=2.25%, 95% CI: 2.03%-2.42%). In addition, incidence and death rates of pancreatic cancer in China are expected to continue on the rise between 2000 and 2029 by ARIMA model. Incidence rate is expected to increase 15.92% and death rate is expected to increase 15.86%. Conclusions: The standardized incidence and death rates of pancreatic cancer in China increase year by year with an increasing trend for the burden of disease. The disease burden of pancreatic cancer is expected to rise due to the increase and aging of the population. Preventive measures should be adopted to decrease the burden of the pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias, and radiofrequency catheter ablation is the most effective treatment strategy. The inferior vena cava (IVC) is a common approach for radiofrequency ablation of AF. However, this approach may not be applied to some cases such as chronic venous occlusions, surgical ligation of the IVC, and heterotaxy syndrome (HS).
CASE SUMMARY A 68-year-old man with HS suffered from severely symptomatic persistent AF for 9 years, and we successfully ablated by percutaneous transhepatic access.
CONCLUSION In patients without femoral vein access, the use of the hepatic vein for pulmonary vein isolation is a viable alternative for invasive electrophysiology procedures.

Abstract
To investigate the temporal trend of antibiotic use among children in Shanghai from 2017 to 2020. The stratified cluster sampling method was used to establish a dynamic cohort of healthy children based on primary schools in Changning District, Shanghai. In the cohort, there were 282 children from 2017, 287 children from 2018, 294 from 2019 and 301 from 2020. A total of 700 children aged 7-11 years were included in the study. The basic information and antibiotic use of children were investigated by questionnaire every year, and their height and weight were measured at the same time. Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference of antibiotic use rate in each year and generalized estimation equation was used to analyze the temporal trend of antibiotic use. The results showed that the use rates of all antibiotics, cephalosporins, azithromycin and other antibiotics (including penicillin, lincomycin, quinolones, etc.) of children between 2017 and 2020 were 15.6%, 10.5%, 2.7%, and 2.4%, respectively. In 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, there were significant differences for the use rates of total antibiotics and other antibiotics in children (P=0.033, P=0.040), and there were no significant differences for the use rates of cephalosporins and azithromycin (P=0.274, P=0.455). After adjusting for children's basic characteristics, the generalized estimation equation showed that the annual use rate of all antibiotics, cephalosporins, and other antibiotics decreased over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spermatogonia in testis is sensitive to the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy agents. Cryopreservation of testicular tissue may offer fertility restoration in young male cancer survivors. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of melatonin on the survival of testicular grafts following cryopreservation and transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wister rats were randomly allocated into three groups: control group; saline group (cryopreservation + autograft + saline); and melatonin group (cryopreservation + autograft + melatonin). Malondialdehyde (MDA) content, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were assessed on day 7 after autograft transplantation. At day 30, graft recovery, spermatogonia per round tubule, and serum testosterone concentration in grafts were measured. RESULTS Melatonin significantly diminished MDA content, enhanced GPx and SOD activities. Furthermore, the recovery rate, number of spermatogonia per round tubule, and serum testosterone concentration in melatonin group was markedly higher than the saline group. CONCLUSION Melatonin administration at 20 mg/kg is effective in improving the function of frozen and thawed rat testicular graft. The protective role of melatonin can be attributed partly to the enhanced ROS scavenging and antioxidant enzyme activities. doi.org/10.54680/fr22310110612.

Abstract
Objective: The surgical reconstruction strategy for scar contracture deformity in chin and neck was explored, aiming to obtain better aesthetic outcome. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From December 2017 to April 2021, 34 patients with scar contracture deformity in chin and neck after burns were hospitalized in the Department of Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University), aged 12-54 years, including 13 males and 21 females, 4 cases with chin affected only, 7 cases with neck affected only, and 23 cases with both chin and neck affected. The scar areas were 48-252 cm2. All the patients were treated by operation with expanded flaps, following the "MRIS" principle of matching of the color and thickness of the repair flaps (match), reconstructing of the aesthetic features of subunits (reconstruction), design of incision according to the plastic principle (incision), and prevention of the surgical incision scar (scar). The rectangular or kidney shaped skin and soft tissue expander (hereinafter referred to as the expander) with rated capacity of 80-400 mL was embedded in the first stage, which was routinely expanded to 3-5 times of the rated capacity of the expander. In the second stage, scar resection and expanded flap excision were performed to repair the secondary wound, and the flap donor site was sutured directly. The expansion ratio of the expander (with average value being calculated), the type of flaps used, the reconstruction of local aesthetic morphology, the appearance of postoperative incision, the survival of flap, and the situation of donor and recipient sites observed during follow-up were recorded. Results: Among the 34 patients, the average expansion ratio of the implanted expander was 3.82 times of the rated capacity of the expander. Three cases were repaired by the expanded local pedicled flap only, 19 cases by the expanded shoulder and/or chest perforator pedicled flap only, 10 cases by the expanded local pedicled flap combined with the expanded shoulder and/or chest perforator pedicled flap, and 2 cases by the expanded local pedicled flap combined with the expanded free flap of the second intercostal perforator of internal thoracic artery. After scar resection, the shapes of lower lip and chin-lip groove were reconstructed in 10 cases, chin process reconstruction and chin lengthening were performed in 16 cases, and the cervico-mental angle and mandibular margin contour were reconstructed in 28 cases. The surgical incision was concealed, most of which were located at the natural junction or turning point of the chin and neck subunits. The vertical incision of neck was Z-shaped or fishtail-shaped. All the expanded flaps in 34 patients survived after operation, of which 8 patients had minor necrosis at the edge or tip of the expanded flaps 1-3 days after operation and healed after dressing change. During the follow-up of 3-18 months, little difference in color and thickness between the expanded flap and the skin of chin and neck was observed, and the aesthetic shape of chin and neck was significantly improved, with mild scar hyperplasia of surgical incision. Conclusions: Reconstruction of scar contracture deformity in chin and neck by using expanded flaps based on the "MRIS" principle is beneficial to improve the quality of surgery and achieve better aesthetic outcome.

Abstract
Objective: Systematically summarize the research progress of clinical trials of gastric cancer oncology drugs and the overview of marketed drugs in China from 2012 to 2021, providing data and decision-making evidence for relevant departments. Methods: Based on the registration database of the drug clinical trial registration and information disclosure platform of Food and Drug Administration of China and the data query system of domestic and imported drugs, the information on gastric cancer drug clinical trials, investigational drugs and marketed drugs from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021 was analyzed, and the differences between Chinese and foreign enterprises in terms of trial scope, trial phase, treatment lines and drug type, effect and mechanism studies were compared. Results: A total of 114 drug clinical trials related to gastric tumor were registered in China from 2012 to 2021, accounting for 3.7% (114/3 041) of all anticancer drug clinical trials in the same period, the registration number showed a significant growth rate after 2016 and reached its peak with 32 trials in 2020. Among them, 85 (74.6%, 85/114) trials were initiated by Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise. Compared with foreign pharmaceutical enterprise, Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise had higher rates of phase I trials (35.3% vs 6.9%, P=0.001), but the rate of international multicenter trials (11.9% vs 67.9%, P<0.001) was relatively low. There were 76 different drugs involved in relevant clinical trials, of which 65 (85.5%) were targeted drugs. For targeted drugs, HER2 is the most common one (14 types), followed by PD-1 and multi-target VEGER. In the past ten years, 3 of 4 marketed drugs for gastric cancer treatment were domestic and included in the national medical insurance directory. Conclusions: From 2012 to 2021, China has made some progress in drug research and development for gastric carcinoma. However, compared with the serious disease burden, it is still insufficient. Targeted strengthening of research and development of investment in many aspects of gastric cancer drugs, such as new target discovery, matured target excavating, combination drug development and early line therapy promotion, is the key work in the future, especially for domestic companies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study is to characterize the role of long intergenic non-coding RNA, regulator of reprogramming (linc-ROR) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) chondrogenesis, cartilage formation and OA development. METHODS Linc-ROR expression pattern in articular cartilage tissue sample from OA patients were studied by real-time PCR. Linc-ROR lentivirus mediated BMSCs were constructed. In vitro micromass cultured BMSCs chondrogenesis or in vivo MeHA hydrogel encapsulated BMSCs cartilage formation activity were studied. Linc-ROR associating miRNAs which repressed SOX9 expression were characterized by luciferase assay, real-time PCR and Western blot. Linc-ROR was co-transfected with miRNAs into BMSCs to study its rescue effect on SOX9 expression and chondrogenesis activity. RESULTS Linc-ROR was down-regulated in articular cartilage tissue from OA patients and was positively correlated with the expression level of SOX9 (R2 = 0.43). Linc-ROR expression was upregulated during BMSCs chondrogenesis. Linc-ROR ectopic expression significantly promoted in vitro BMSCs chondrogenesis and in vivo cartilage formation activities as revealed by safranin O, alcian blue and COL II staining. The mRNA expression level of chondrogenesis markers including COL II, SOX9 and ACAN were increased, and the hypertrophy markers MMP13 and COL X were decreased upon linc-ROR overexpression in BMSCs. Linc-ROR functioned as a miRNA sponge for miR-138 and miR-145. Both miR-138 and miR-145 suppressed BMSCs chondrogenesis activity and SOX9 expression, while co-expression of linc-ROR displayed a rescuing effect. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, linc-ROR modulated BMSCs chondrogenesis differentiation and cartilage formation by acting as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-138 and miR-145 and activating SOX9 expression. Linc-ROR could be considered as a new diagnostic and therapeutic target for OA treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the latest progress of oncology drug clinical trials in China under COVID-19, as well as to provide decision-making evidence for related stakeholders. Research progress of oncology drug trials and approved cancer drugs in China in 2020 were systematically summarized and compared with 2019. Methods: Information Disclosure Platform for Drug Clinical Studies and China Food and Drug Administration Query System for Domestic and Imported Drug were searched for registered clinical trials and approved oncology drugs, respectively. The trial scope, stage, drug type, effect and mechanism of domestic and global pharmaceutical enterprises were compared between 2019 and 2020. Results: A total of 722 cancer drug trials registered in China in 2020, with an annual growth rate of 52.3%, accounting for 28.3% of all registered trials. Among them, 603 (83.5%) trials were initiated by domestic pharmaceutical enterprises, and 105 (14.5%) were international multicenter trials, phase I trials accounted for 44.5%. For all those trials, there were 458 cancer drug varieties, with an annual growth rate of 36.7%, and 361 (85.8%) were developed by domestic enterprises. Most of the investigational products were therapeutic innovative drugs (77.1%), major in tumor treatment (92.8%). In terms of mechanism, targeted drugs were the most popular, accounting for 76.6%, and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) were the most common targets. In addition, there were 19 anticancer drugs from 17 companies approved in China in 2019, with 10 drugs from domestic companies. Lung cancer and breast cancer are the most common indications for both registered trials and marketed drugs. No statistically significant differences were found between 2020 and 2019 in terms of the distribution of trial sponsor, scope and stage, as well as the distribution of drug type, effect and mechanism (P>0.05). Conclusions: During the Covid-19 epidemic period, clinical trials of oncology drugs in China progress smoothly and maintain a high growth rate. Series of innovative products obtained by domestic enterprises in 2020 is the main driving force of development of oncology drug clinical trials in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several obstacles must be overcome before ovarian tissue cryopreservation can be used as a standard procedure. OBJECTIVE To carry out a morphologic and functional study of the effect of cryopreservation on mouse follicles and stroma cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female mice were divided into three groups (control, fresh graft and cryopreserved graft). Ultrastructural features of follicles and stroma cells were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy. After autologous transplantation, micro-vessel densities of grafts were examined. RESULTS Vacuoles in granulosa cells and stromal cells are significantly greater than that of oocytes. The microvessel density of fresh grafts is significantly higher than that in frozen-thawed grafts. CONCLUSION Granusola and stroma cells, rather than oocytes, are vulnerable to cryoinjury. Injuries to granulosa cells and stromal cells could be the critical part of ovarian damage caused by cryopreservation.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of all lung cancer cases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have been reported to play significant roles in the progression of human tumors, however, the expression and biological role of miR-23b in NSCLC remains elusive. Underexpression of miR-23b was detected in NSCLC tissues in comparison with the matched para-carcinoma tissues. The clinical value of miR-23b was analyzed, and the findings showed that miR-23b expression was negatively correlated with poor overall survival and malignant clinicopathologic characteristics of NSCLC patients. Furthermore, functional assays demonstrated that overexpression of miR-23b inhibited NSCLC cell viability, invasion and migration. Luciferase reporter assay and qRT-PCR revealed that RUNX2 was a functional target of miR-23b. The elevated expression of RUNX2 was positively correlated with overall survival of NSCLC patients. Additionally, Western blot analysis indicated that EMT and Wnt/β-catenin pathways were blocked by the upregulation of miR-23b. Taken together, these data demonstrated that dysregulation of miR-23b/RUNX2 signal may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the progress of small shadow and the change of lung function in pneumoconiosis with positive autoantibody, so as to provide basis for clinical treatment of pneumoconiosis. Methods: A total of 756 patients were admitted to the pneumoconiosis department of the Guangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital from January 1, 2013 to June 1, 2019. The patients with combined infection were excluded. According to whether the autoantibody was positive, they were divided into positive group and negative group, 25 cases in each group. Follow-up observation of X-ray chest radiographs, chest CT, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) and forced expired flow at 50% of FVC (MEF(50)) of pneumoconiosis patients for 5 years, to analyze the influence of positive autoantibody on the morphology of X-ray chest film, the pneumoconiosis promotion in 5 years and lung function. Results: There were 22 males and 3 females in the autoantibody positive group, aged 53.14±10.51 years. In the autoantibody negative group, there were 23 males and 2 females, aged 53.88±8.10 years. During the 5-year observation period, there was no significant difference of small shadow shape, pneumoconiosis stage, and the pneumoconiosis promotion in 5 years between the autoantibody positive group and the autoantibody negative group (P>0.05). However, the increment of small shadow area in the autoantibody positive group was higher than that in the autoantibody negative group (P<0.05). FEV(1) and MEF(50) of the autoantibody positive group were significantly lower than those of the autoantibody negative group in the fourth and third years, respectively (P<0.05). Positive autoantibody was negatively correlated with FEV(1) and MEF(50) (P<0.05). Conclusion: The positive autoantibody can't promote the progress of X-ray, but show more small shadows on chest CT; the positive autoantibody may aggravate the decline of lung function.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of the application of membrane anatomy concept in sleeve gastrectomy on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients with obesity or metabolic diseases. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 88 patients with obesity or metabolic diseases who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from September 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy with membrane anatomy concept as membrane anatomy group, and the other 48 patients underwent traditional sleeve gastrectomy as traditional operation group. There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). The PONV score of and the times of antiemetic drugs used during 0-6 h and 6-24 h after operation were compared between the two groups. Higher PONV represents more serious nause and vomiting, the score ≥5 is defined as clinical significant PONV. Results: All patients of the two groups successfully completed the operation, and there was no conversion to open, reoperation, and operation-related death. The intraoperative blood loss in the membrane anatomy group was significantly less than that in the traditional surgery group [median: 5.0 (5.0, 5.8) ml vs. 10.0 (5.0, 10.0) ml, Z=-3.265, P=0.001]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operative time, postoperative hospital stay, gastroesophageal reflux, pain score and postoperative complications (all P>0.05). There was no postoperative bleeding or gastric leakage in either groups. There were no significant differences in PONV score, incidence of clinically significant PONV and use of antiemetics 0-6 h after operation between two groups (all P>0.05). From 6 to 24 hours after operation, compared with traditional surgery group, the membrane anatomy group had lower PONV score (4.6±0.9 vs. 5.1±0.7, t=-2.192, P=0.007), lower incidence of clinically significant PONV [55.0% (22/40) vs. 83.3% (40/48), χ(2)=8.414, P=0.004] and less use of antiemetics [3 times: 10.0% (4/40) vs. 27.1% (13/48), Z=-2.880, P=0.004]. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 1 to 6 months (median 3), 32 cases in membranous anatomy group and 38 cases in the traditional operation group were followed up. One case in the traditional operation group received symptomatic treatment in the local hospital due to functional intestinal obstruction 1 month after surgery and was discharged after recovery. The remaining patients had no postoperative complications and were not readmitted to hospital. Conclusion: Sleeve gastrectomy based on membrane anatomy in the treatment of patients with obesity or metabolic syndrome can make surgical procedure more precise and meticulous, reduce the intraoperative bleeding and the incidence of PONV.

Abstract
Objective The tests of three types of auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) were performed on normal young adults, to understand the frequency characteristics of different testing methods and the relationship between response threshold and pure tone audiometry threshold of different methods, and to discuss the forensic value of 3 types of AEPs to evaluate hearing function. Methods Twenty normal young adults were selected, their standard pure tone audiometry threshold, short-term pure tone audiometry threshold and the response threshold of 3 types of AEPs (tone burst-auditory brainstem response, 40 Hz auditory event-related potential and slow vertex response) at 0.5 kHz, 1.0 kHz, 2.0 kHz and 4.0 kHz were recorded. The relationship between the response threshold and standard pure tone audiometry threshold, short-term pure tone audiometry threshold of 3 types of AEPs at different frequencies as well as the differences between different types of AEPs were analyzed. Results The short-term pure tone audiometry threshold was higher than the standard pure tone audiometry threshold at each frequency. The response threshold and standard pure tone audiometry threshold of the 3 types of AEPs all had a certain correlation, and the response threshold of the 3 types of AEPs was higher than short-term pure tone audiometry threshold and standard pure tone audiometry threshold at each frequency. The differences in the differences between the response threshold and standard pure tone audiometry threshold of the 3 types of AEPs at different frequencies had statistical significance. Linear regression mathematical models were established to infer the standard pure tone audiometry threshold (hearing level) from response threshold (sound pressure level) of 3 types of AEPs of normal young adults. Conclusion When using response threshold of different types of AEPs to estimate pure tone audiometry threshold, conversion and correction are needed. Combined use of different types of AEPs could improve the accuracy of hearing function evaluation.

Abstract
MiR-20a shows a significant role in the development of various human tumors. However, its specific biological function in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still not clear. qRT-PCR was applied for detecting miR-20a expression. The analysis of cell growth and apoptosis were performed by MTT, xenograft models, Western blot assays. Dual luciferase reporter, Western blotting and qRT-PCR were carried out to verify the potential target of miR-20a. In NSCLC tissues and cells, miR-20a was highly expressed and RUNX3 was lowly expressed. Moreover, up-regulation of miR-20a expression promoted NSCLC cell proliferation, invasion and migration, while low-expression of miR-20a showed the converse case on cell proliferation, invasion and migration. RUNX3 was verified as the direct target of miR-20a and it could overturn its biological function in NSCLC cells. Moreover, miR-20a negatively regulated RUNX3 expression. Mechanistically, increasing miR-20a expression inhibited RUNX3 expression and then activated the TGF-β signaling pathway. Taken together, our results demonstrated that re-expression of miR-20a promoted lung tumorigenesis by down-regulation of RUNX3 and facilitating the activation of TGF-β signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blockage of mTOR1 can inhibit the transformation of primordial follicles into growing follicles in the ovaries. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of mTORC1 inhibition in the cryopreservation and transplantation of mouse ovarian tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) mice were randomly divided into control group (autograft), cryopreservation group (cryopreservation + autograft), and mTORC1 inhibition group (cryopreservation + autograft + mTOR inhibitor). After 30 days of auto-transplantation, the follicle number of graft and kit ligand (KL) immunostaining in grafts were quantified. In addition, serum concentration of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was examined by ELISA. RESULTS The graft in mTORC1 inhibition group showed a significantly higher proportion of primordial follicles and a significantly lower proportion of growing follicles compared with cryopreservation group. Furthermore, a significant decrease in expression of KL (a marker gene related to follicular development) was observed in mTORC1 inhibition group in contrast to cryopreservation group. The follicle number of graft and serum AMH concentration in mTORC1 inhibition group were significantly higher than that in cryopreservation group. CONCLUSION Inhibition of mTORC1 signaling pathway is a valid therapeutic strategy in transplantation of cryopreserved mouse ovarian tissue via suppression of primordial follicle activation.

Abstract
A novel diamond UV photodetector with a transparent Ag nanowire (NW) electrode was fabricated. A transparent Ag NW network was spin-coated on single crystalline diamond to form a Schottky contact, which had a barrier height of about 1.37 eV obtained by XPS measurements. Meanwhile, multilayered metals of Au/Pt/Ti were evaporated on the diamond sample to form ohmic contacts. Compared to a Au/Pt/Ti-Au/Pt/Ti diamond photodetector, the Au/Pt/Ti-Ag NW diamond photodetector exhibited relatively high responsivity under 220 nm (18 mA W-1), high linear dynamic range (41 dB), and short response time (0.12 s for rise time, 0.56 s for decay time). In particular, the Au/Pt/Ti-Ag NW diamond photodetector displayed high photocurrent of about 200 pA at zero-bias, indicating its potential for creating self-powered devices.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of esmolol in septic shock patients with tachycardia. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Screening septic shock patients that admitted to Department of General Intensive Care Unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2016 to August 2017. After 24 h resuscitation therapy, 100 cases of septic shock patients with tachycardia (heart rate>100 bpm) were divided into esmolol group (n=50) and control group (n=50) with random number table. Patients in esmolol group accepted standard treatment plus esmolol injection with an initial dose of 25 mg/h. Heart rate target is 80 to 100 bpm. Patients in esmolol group continued to use esmolol for 7 days or to the day the patient left the ICU when the heart rate didn't achieve the target. Patients in control group were given standard treatment. Primary outcome was 28 d mortality. Secondary outcomes included heart rate, norepinephrine dosages, lactate level, inflammatory markers in per day during the trial; acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE Ⅱ) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) on day 1, 3, 5, 7; length of hospital stay, length of mechanical ventilation, medication time of vasoactive agent. The data were compared with t test or rank sum test between the two groups. Results: The 28 d mortality of esmolol group and control group was 62%, 68%, respectively(χ(2)=0.529, P=0.529). Logistic regression analysis showed that primary heart rate (increase of 10 bpm, OR=1.568, 95%CI: 1.039-1.238, P=0.027), primary APACHEⅡ (OR=1.134, 95%CI: 1.026-1.239, P=0.005), integral heart rate (per 10 bpm, OR=2.207, 95%CI: 1.400-3.479, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for 28 d mortality. Compared with control group, the esmolol group had a lower heart rate on day 1-7; but over all, there was no statistically significant difference in heart rate between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in total does of norepinephrine, lactate level, inflammatory markers, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA, length of hospital stay between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Tachycardia significantly increases the risk of death in patients with septic shock, esmolol may decrease the mortality by controlling heart rate.

Abstract
Objective: To make a quantitative evaluation on the short term effect of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter no more than 2.5 μm (PM(2.5)) on cumulative excess mortality rate (CER) and years of life lost (YLL) in residents in Changping district of Beijing. Methods: The death data in local residents, daily mortality, meteorology data and air pollution data (PM(2.5), SO(2) and NO(2) concentrations) in Changping from 2014 to 2017 were collected. Distributed lag non-linear model was used to assess the age and gender specific cumulative lag effects of PM(2.5) on cardiovascular CER and daily YLL in Changping. Results: The effects of PM(2.5) on cardiovascular CER and YLL were obvious on lag 7 days and lag 9 days, respectively, peaking on day 14, and lasting for 21 days. On lag0-21 days, for a 10 μg/m(3) increase in PM(2.5), the population based CER of cardiovascular disease death was 0.021% (95%CI: 0.004%-0.038%), and the YLL was 1.47 (95%CI: 0.23-2.70) years. Greater PM(2.5) effect were observed in males and the elderly. Conclusion: PM(2.5) increased the risk of cardiovascular disease death and YLL.

Abstract
The multichannel formic acid (HCOOH, λ = 432.5 µm) laser interferometer and Faraday-effect polarimeter on HL-2A tokamak have been developed to measure the far-forward collective scattering from electron density fluctuations. The far-forward collective scattering system provides eight channels of line-integrated electron density fluctuations, covering the wave-number range: k⊥ < 1.6 cm-1. With the new diagnostic, the density fluctuations caused by plasma energetic particles and turbulence have been routinely observed in HL-2A experiments.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical features of 7 rare cases of hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN), and to improve the understanding of rare HDN. Methods: Data of clinical information, laboratory findings, treatments and outcomes were collected and analyzed for four cases with HDN due to anti-M, two cases due to anti-Kidd, and one case due to anti-Duffy. All of them were admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medial University from July 2007 to June 2017. Results: Among the four MN hemolytic babies, two were males and two were females. Jaundice was found in three cases. Two cases had hyperbilirubinemia, one of them had severe hyperbilirubinemia. All the four cases developed anemia, including severe anemia in three cases. Two cases of Kidd hemolytic disease and 1 case of Duffy hemolytic disease had jaundice and anemia, but did not reach the level of severe hyperbilirubinemia and severe anemia. MN hemolytic disease babies got negative results in direct antiglobulin test, whereas the Kidd and Duffy hemolytic disease babies had positive findings in direct antiglobulin test. None of the babies had blood transfusion, and they were discharged from the hospital. Conclusions: Without maternal and fetal blood group incompatibility (ABO or Rh blood-group system), for early onset of jaundice, severe jaundice or anemia, antiglobulin test to mother and child earlier should be administered, and MN, Kidd, Duffy and other rare hemolytic disease of the newborn should be pay attention to.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) in Human umbilical vein endothelial cells line EA.hy926. Methods: The EA.hy926 cells in logarithmic growth phase were incubated with 0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 mg/L ZnO-NPs respectively. The ROS level, reflected by mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), was examined by flow cytometer after 4 hours exposure, the protein expression of HO-1 which was determined by Western Blot after exposed to ZnO-NPs for 24 hours. Cells incubated with 15.0 mg/L were set as the ZnO-NPs group; a blank control group was set at the same time. Cells were pretreated with HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPPIx) and HO-1 activator cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPPIx), they were classified as ZnPPIx group and CoPPIx group. 15 mg/L ZnO-NPs was chosen to conduct the experiment of HO-1 activation and inhibition. Cells were classified as ZnPPIX+ ZnO-NPs group and CoPPIx+ ZnO-NPs group after pretreated with 10 μmol/L ZnPPIx or CoPPIx for 1 h, added 15 mg/L ZnO-NPs to cell culture medium. In all groups ROS levels were detected after exposed to ZnO-NPs for 4 hours, the protein expression of HO-1 was detected after exposed to ZnO-NPs for 24 hours. Results: With the increased dose of ZnO-NPs, levels of ROS and HO-1 in EA.hy926 cells were clearly elevated (the MFI of 0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 mg/L ZnO-NPs incubated groups was 22 627.22±718.27, 24 726.47±568.52, 31 141.75±1 312.24, 39 824.82±4 774.74, 50 569.03±1 497.63 respectively, and HO-1 relative expression were 0.16±0.01, 0.19±0.02, 0.16±0.01, 0.23±0.02, 0.92±0.06 respectively). HO-1 expression in ZnPPIx pretreatment group decreased compared with ZnO-NPs group (1.05±0.05 vs. 1.12±0.01, P<0.05), meanwhile ROS level enhanced (62 683.95±2 589.59 vs. 53 654.53±2 229.01, P<0.05). However, CoPPIx pretreatment had higher HO-1 level and lower level of ROS compared with ZnO-NPs group (HO-1: 1.74±0.11 vs. 0.22±0.03, P<0.05; ROS: 32 845.04±993.48 vs. 53 654.53±2 229.01, P<0.05). Conclusions: Exposure to ZnO-NPs significantly induced ROS generation in EA.hy926 cells in a dose-dependent manner. HO-1 regulated ZnO-NPs-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between kinase insertion region receptor (KDR) gene genetic variation and the efficacy of bevacizumab in patients with advanced colorectal cancer(CRC) were investigated in this study. Methods: 118 patients with advanced colorectal cancer who were treated by bevacizumab based first line regimens were included in this study. Peripheral blood and the biopsy tissue specimens of the CRC patients were collected for the genotyping of genetic variation and KDR gene expression, respectively. The univariate analysis of genotypes and prognosis was carried out by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and multivariate were adjusted by Cox regression analysis. Results: Located in the coding region, the prevalence of 889 C>T in KDR among the study population were as follows: CC genotype 86 cases (72.88%), CT genotype 30 cases (25.42%), TT genotype 2 cases (1.70%), minor allele frequency of 889 C>T is 0.14. The distribution of three genotypes in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (P=0.737). There were no statistical differences in the distribution of the genotypes in baseline clinical data. TT and CT genotype patients were merged in the comparison of clinical outcomes. The clinical outcomes analysis of patients with different genotypes found that the objective response rates (ORR) of CT/TT genotypes were 34.38% and 43.02% (P=0.395), respectively. And the median progression free survival (PFS) of patients with CT/TT genotype and CC genotype were 7.5 and 9.7 months respectively, which was statistically significant (P=0.009). In terms of overall survival (OS), the median OS of the two genotypes were 19.3 and 20.1 (P=0.025), respectively. Adjusted in multivariate Cox regression analysis of PFS, CT/TT genotypes were an independent factor for PFS (OR=1.88, P=0.023). Additionally, of the 57 biopsy tissue specimens, gene expression analysis was conducted. And the results showed that the expression of KDR in cancer tissues of the patients with CT/TT genotypes were significantly higher than those of the CC genotype patients (P<0.001). Conclusion: Among advanced colorectal cancer patients treated by bevacizumab, the polymorphism 889 C>T of KDR may impact the clinical outcomes of bevacizumab first line treatment by influencing the mRNA expression of KDR.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the image quality and radiation dose with wide-detector(80 mm) and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) technique at abdominal contrast enhanced CT scan. Methods: In the first phantom experiment part, the percentage of ASIR-V for half dose of combined wide detector with ASIR-V technique as compared with standard-detector (40 mm) technique was determined. The human experiment was performed based on the phantom study, 160 patients underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan were prospectively collected and divided into the control group (n=40) with image reconstruction using 40% ASIR (group A) and the study group (n=120) with random number table. According to pre-ASIR-V percentage, the study group was assigned into three groups[40 cases in each group, group B: 0 pre-ASIR-V scan with image reconstruction of 0-100% post-ASIR-V (interval 10%, subgroups B0-B10); group C: 20% pre-ASIR-V with 20%, 40% and 60% post-ASIR-V (subgroups C1-C3); group D: 40%pre-ASIR-V with 40% and 60% post-ASIR-V (subgroups D1-D2)]. Image noise, CT attenuation values and CNR of the liver, pancreas, aorta and portal vein were compared by using two sample t test and One-way ANOVA. Qualitative visual parameters (overall image quality as graded on a 5-point scale) was compared by Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results: The phantom experiment showed that the percentage of pre-ASIR-V for half dose was 40%. With the 40% pre-ASIR-V, radiation dose in the study group was reduced by 35.5% as compared with the control group. Image noise in the subgroups of B2-B10, C2-C3 and D1-D2 were lower (t=-14.681--3.046, all P<0.05) while CNR in the subgroups of B4-B10, C2-3 and D1-D2 were higher(t=2.048-9.248, all P<0.05)than those in group A, except the CNR of liver in the arterial phase (AP) in C2, D1 and D2 and the CNR of pancreas in AP in D1 (t=0.574-1.327, all P>0.05). The subjective image quality scores increased gradually in the range of 0-60% post-ASIR-V and decreased with post-ASIR-V larger than 70%. The overall image quality of subgroup B3-B8, C2-C3 and D1-D2 were higher than that in group A (Z=-2.229--6.533, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with stand-detector together with ASIR technique, wide-detector combined with 40% pre-ASIR-V technique with 60% post-ASIR-V image reconstruction can reduce radiation dose while maintain good overall image quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimorbidity is among the most disabling geriatric conditions. In this study, we explored whether a rapid development of multimorbidity potentiates its impact on the functional independence of older adults, and whether different sociodemographic factors play a role beyond the rate of chronic disease accumulation. METHODS A random sample of persons aged ≥60 years (n = 2387) from the Swedish National study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K) was followed over 6 years. The speed of multimorbidity development was estimated as the rate of chronic disease accumulation (linear mixed models) and further dichotomized into the upper versus the three lower rate quartiles. Binomial negative mixed models were used to analyse the association between speed of multimorbidity development and disability (impaired basic and instrumental activities of daily living), expressed as the incidence rate ratio (IRR). The effect of sociodemographic factors, including sex, education, occupation and social network, was investigated. RESULTS The risk of new activity impairment was higher among participants who developed multimorbidity faster (IRR 2.4, 95% CI 1.9-3.1) compared with those who accumulated diseases more slowly overtime, even after considering the baseline number of chronic conditions. Only female sex (IRR for women vs. men 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.0) and social network (IRR for poor vs. rich social network 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.2) showed an effect on disability beyond the rate of chronic disease accumulation. CONCLUSIONS Rapidly developing multimorbidity is a negative prognostic factor for disability. However, sociodemographic factors such as sex and social network may determine older adults' reserves of functional ability, helping them to live independently despite the rapid accumulation of chronic conditions.

Abstract
In order to avoid a fringe jump caused by high plasma density and pellet injection [Y. Zhou et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 87, 11E107 (2016)], a new CO2 dispersion interferometer is designed and commissioned on HL-2A for average line-density measurement and density feedback control. The second harmonic technology in this system eliminates the phase shift caused by mechanical vibration. Signals are processed by a digital phase comparator and can be monitored in real time. A series of experiments are conducted to study the characteristics of the system such as a second harmonic coefficient and long-term stability. The resolution of density measurement is less than 8 × 1017/m3, and the experiment result on HL-2A demonstrates the interferometer's capability to track plasma density evolution with rapid change. The system also shows good stability against mechanical vibrations.

Abstract
A new four-chord Michelson-type formic acid (HCOOH, λ = 432.5 μm) laser interferometer has been successfully commissioned on the HL-2A tokamak to measure the electron density and density fluctuations. Due to the employment of the two-laser heterodyne technique, the time resolution of the interferometer reached 1.0 microseconds (μs). Four chords of line electron densities with a line-averaged density resolution 2 × 1016/m3 were obtained in a recent HL-2A experimental campaign, and detailed electron density fluctuations, caused by events such as edge localized mode, sawtooth precursor-oscillations, and energetic particle driven instabilities, were distinctly measured. In particular, the high-frequency electron density fluctuations (up to 500 kHz) caused by the reversed shear Alfvénic eigenmode were observed by the internal two interferometry channels, and their fluctuation location could be approximately identified from the spectra characteristics of multi-chord line electron densities.

Abstract
An image converter based on an indium phosphide has been developed to measure the two-dimensional spatial profile of the incident photon flux by probing the rapid change of the refractive index in the semiconductor. The spatial resolution, dynamic range, and temporal response of this image converter have been investigated with optical methods. The results show that the spatial resolution is ∼15 cycles/mm at the percent modulation transfer function of 0.5, the dynamic range is about 100, and the time response is in the order of 600 ps. This scheme can provide an alternative choice as an imaging diagnostic for experiments in the area of high-energy density physics.

Abstract
A low-energy low-dose γ-ray computed tomography (CT) system used in the gas-liquid two-phase pipe flow measurement has been studied at Tianjin University in recent years. The γ-ray CT system, having a third-generation X-ray CT scanning configuration, is comprised of one 300mCi 241Am source and 17 CdZnTe detector units and achieves a spatial image resolution of about 7 mm. It is primarily intended to measure the two-phase pipe flow and provide improvement suggestions for industrial CT system. Recently we improve the design for image reconstruction from incomplete projection to optimize the scanning parameters and reduce the radiation dose. First, tomographic problem from incomplete projections is briefly described. Next, a system structure and a hardware circuit design are listed and explained, especially on time parameter setting of the pulse shaper. And then a detailed system analysis is provided in Section II, mainly focusing on spatial resolution, temporal resolution, system noise, and imaging algorithm. Finally, we carry on necessary static and dynamic experiments in a full scan (360°) and two sets of partial scan reconstruction tests to determine the feasibility of this γ-ray CT system for reconstructing the images from insufficient projections. And based on an A-variable algebraic reconstruction technique method, a specially designed algorithm, we evaluate the system performance and noise level of this CT system working quantitatively and qualitatively. Results of dynamic test indicate that the acceptable results can be acquired using a multi-source γ-ray CT system with the same parameters when the flow rate is less than 0.04 m/s and the imaging speed is slower than 33 frames/s.
