Abstract
BACKGROUND Iodine excess (IE) intake leads to lymphocyte dysfunction and contributes to autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). Abnormal thyroid function is associated with adverse cardiovascular events, endothelial dysfunction is often an early pathophysiological feature in most cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between iodine and the cardiovascular system is currently unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of IE on endothelial function in mouse model. METHODS A total of 24 NOD.H-2h4 mice were randomly divided into different groups. A sodium iodide (NaI) group supplied with 0.05% NaI water for 8 weeks. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factors α (TNFα), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive Protein (CRP), as well as endothelin-1 (ET-1), von Willebrand factor (VWF) and thrombomodulin (THBD) were detected by Elisa. In addition, the mRNA and protein expression of these genes were measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS Here, we found the urinary iodine concentration (UIC) was higher in the NaI group compared to the control group. Serum levels of ET-1, VWF, and THBD were also significantly lower in the NaI group, however, CRP serum levels are significantly increased. In aorta, the mRNA and protein expression of ET-1, VWF, THBD were downregulated, however, the expression of IL-6, CRP and TNFα mRNA and protein were upregulated in the NaI group. A correlation analysis showed negative correlation between UIC with ET-1, VWF, and THBD, similarly, negative correlation between CRP with THBD was observed. In addition, positive correlations between UIC with CRP. CONCLUSION Collectively, in the NOD.H-2h4 mice, IE supplementation had a suppressive effect on endothelial function, and this inhibition maybe due to the increase expression of inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The global prevalence of osteoporosis is rising, yet it is unclear whether people with osteoporosis have a higher risk of depression than those without osteoporosis. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS We used nationally representative data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2013-2014, and 2017-2020. The diagnosis of osteoporosis was based on the bone mineral density of the femoral neck measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Depression was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), with a score ≥5 as depressive symptoms and a score ≥10 as probable depression. We used logistic regression models to evaluate the association between osteoporosis and depressive symptoms and probable depression. RESULTS We included 11,603 adults (aged 50 years and older, 52.3% male) and observed 5.2% of them had osteoporosis. 31.9% of these osteoporotic people had depressive symptoms, and 10.0% had probable depression. Compared to participants without osteoporosis, those with osteoporosis were 1.73 times more likely to experience depressive symptoms (odds ratio [OR] = 1.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-2.50) and 1.91 times more likely to experience probable depression (OR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.02-3.59), after adjusting for sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, family income, body mass index, smoking, physical activity, and alcohol abuse. Moderate-to-vigorous activities mediated the associations between osteoporosis and depression and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Osteoporosis is an independent risk factor for depression. This study highlights the need to evaluate the mental well-being of patients with osteoporosis in clinical and primary health care.

Abstract
Iodine is an essential nutrient that may change the occurrence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). Apoptosis and DNA methylation participate in the pathogenesis and destructive mechanism of AIT. We detected the methylation and the expression of mRNA of intrinsic apoptosis-associated genes (YWHAG, ING4, BRSK2 and GJA1) to identify the potential interactions between the levels of methylation in these genes and different levels of iodine. 176 adult patients with AIT in Shandong Province, China, were included. The MethylTargetTM assay was used to verify the levels of methylation. We used PCR to detect the mRNA levels of the candidate genes. Interactions between methylation levels of the candidate genes and iodine levels were evaluated with multiplicative and addictive interaction models and GMDR. In the AIT group, YWHAG_1 and six CpG sites and BRSK2_1 and eight CpG sites were hypermethylated, whereas ING4_1 and one CpG site were hypomethylated. A negative correlation was found between methylation levels of YWHAG and mRNA expression. The combination of iodine fortification, YWHAG_1 hypermethylation and BRSK2_1 hypermethylation was significantly associated with elevated AIT risk. A four-locus model (YWHAG_1 × ING4_1 × BRSK2_1 × iodine level) was found to be the best model of the gene-environment interactions. We identified abnormal changes in the methylation status of YWHAG, ING4 and BRSK2 in patients with AIT in different iodine levels. Iodine fortification not only affected the methylation levels of YWHAG and BRSK2 but also interacted with the methylation levels of these genes and may ultimately increase the risk of AIT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a time-sensitive emergency. This study screened the favorable factors for the survival of STEMI patients with medium- and high-risk thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) scores. METHODS According to the TIMI scores at admission, 433 STEMI patients were retrospectively and consecutively selected and allocated into low-/medium-/high-risk groups, with their general information/blood routine/biochemical indicators/coagulation indicators documented. The factors influencing the in-hospital survival of STEMI patients were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Moreover, the predictive value of favorable factors was analyzed by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, and patients were assigned into high/low level groups based on the cut-off value of these factors, with their in-hospital survival rates compared. RESULTS The in-hospital survival rate of the medium-/high-risk groups was lower than that of the low-risk group. Emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), lymphocyte (LYM), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), and sodium (Na) were independent favorable factors for in-hospital survival in the medium-/high-risk groups. Besides, LYM > 1.275 × 109/L, TP > 60.25 g/L, ALB > 34.55 g/L, and Na > 137.9 mmo1/L had auxiliary predictive value for the survival of STEMI patients with medium-/high-risk TIMI scores. Patients with high levels of LYM, TP, ALB, and Na exhibited higher in-hospital survival rates than patients with low levels. CONCLUSION For STEMI patients with medium- and high-risk TIMI scores, accepting emergency PCI and normal levels of LYM, TP, ALB, and Na were more conducive to in-hospital survival.

Abstract
Background Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), a prevalent autoimmune disorder, is not yet thoroughly understood, especially when it comes to the influence of epigenetics in its pathogenesis. The primary goal of this research was to probe the DNAm profile across the genome in the whole blood derived from patients suffering from HT. Method Using the Illumina 850K BeadChip, we conducted a genome-wide DNAm assessment on 10 matched pairs of HT sufferers and healthy individuals. Genes with differential methylation (DMGs) were identified and underwent functional annotation via the databases of Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. The transcriptional significance of potential epigenetic biomarker genes was corroborated through qRT-PCR. Results The DNAm profiling across the genome indicated an overall reduction in methylation in HT subjects in comparison with their healthy counterparts. We detected 283 DMPs (adjusted P < 0.05 and |Δβ| > 0.1), among which 152 exhibited hypomethylation and 131 demonstrated hypermethylation. Further analysis exposed a noteworthy concentration of hypermethylated DMPs in the 3´UTR, North Shore, and CpG islands, while there was a significant decrease in the Open Sea (all P < 0.001). The 283 DMPs were broadly distributed from chromosome 1 to 22, with chromosome 6 harboring the most DMPs (n = 51) and chromosome 12 carrying the most DMGs (n = 15). The SLFN12 gene, which presented with extreme hypomethylation in its promoter DMPs among HT patients, was identified as the epigenetic marker gene. Consequently, the SLFN12 mRNA expression was markedly upregulated in HT, displaying a negative relationship with its methylation levels. The area under curve (AUC) value for the SLFN12 gene among HT patients was 0.85 (sensitivity: 0.7, specificity: 0.7), a significant difference compared with healthy controls. The methylation levels of all DMPs in SLFN12 gene were negatively correlated with TSH and one CpG site (cg24470734) was positively assocciated with FT4. Conclusion This investigation presents an initial comprehensive DNAm blueprint for individuals with HT, which permits clear differentiation between HT subjects and normal controls through an epigenetic lens. The SLFN12 gene plays a pivotal role in the onset of HT, suggesting that the methylation status of this gene could serve as a potential epigenetic indicator for HT.

Abstract
Our study aimed to identify and verify G protein-related methylated genes in AIT patients, while also investigate those genes in AIT patients exposed to iodine in different water iodine areas. Different areas were classified by median water iodine (MWI) concentrations: Iodine-Fortified Areas (IFA, MWI<10µg/L), Iodine-Adequate Areas (IAA, 40≤MWI≤100 µg/L), and Iodine-Excessive Areas (IEA, MWI>100 µg/L). We studied 176 AIT cases and 176 controls, with 89, 40, and 47 pairs in IFA, IAA, and IEA, respectively. Using the Illumina Human Methylation 850k BeadChip, we identified candidate methylated genes. MethylTargetTM and QRT-PCR validated DNA methylation and mRNA expression. Results showed hypomethylation and high expression of RAB8A and RAP1A in all 176 AIT cases. RAB8A's CpG sites were mainly hypomethylated in IFA and IEA, while RAP1A's sites were primarily hypomethylated in IEA. This study underscores how water iodine exposure may influence RAB8A and RAP1A methylation in AIT.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the Work Information Anxiety Questionnaire (WIAQ), and to report on the psychometric properties of the WIAQ. Methods Based on the Approach-Avoidance Conflict theory, and combining previous literature reviews and open-ended interviews, initial scale items for the Work Information Anxiety Questionnaire were developed. Using 324 full-time corporate employees as subjects (Sample 1), an exploratory structural examination of work information anxiety was conducted, including item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and network analysis. An additional 210 corporate employees were selected for formal testing (Sample 2), and the obtained data underwent structural validation, including confirmatory factor analysis, validity testing, and reliability testing. Results The WIAQ (9 items) exhibited a two-factor structure of reception anxiety and missing out anxiety, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 67.56%. The confirmatory factor model showed good model fit, with cross-group and cross-measurement stability. The Cronbach's α of the WIAQ was 0.899, and the McDonald's ω of the two factors were 0.906 and 0.831 respectively. The WIAQ demonstrated good criterion-related validity with the SAS and DASS. Conclusion The factor structure of the WIAQ is clear, and its reliability and validity indicators meet psychometric requirements. It can serve as an effective tool for measuring work information anxiety.

Abstract
Excess iodine will trigger the occurrence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT), and programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand (PD-L) will also contribute to the development of AIT. The purpose of this study was to explore the role that negative regulatory signals mediated by PD-1/PD-L play in the development of spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT) in NOD.H-2h4 mice when they are exposed to iodine. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody was administered intraperitoneally to NOD.H-2h4 mice. The relevant indicators were determined by flow cytometry, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunohistochemistry, pathological hematoxylin and eosin staining, and arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. Results showed that the level of urinary iodine, the level of thyroid lymphocyte infiltration, the level of thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) and interferon (IFN-γ)/tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α)/interleukin (IL-2)/IL-17, and the relative expression of PD-1/PD-L1/programmed death-2 (PD-L2) increased with the intervention of excess iodine. After the intervention of the PD-L1 antibody, the expression of PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 in different degrees was inhibited, but the level of thyroid lymphocyte infiltration and serum TgAb/IFN-γ/TNF-α/ IL-2/IL-17 did not decrease. Collectively, although PD-1/PD-L participates in the occurrence of SAT and induces inflammation, administration of the PD-L1 antibody does not effectively improve the pathological process of SAT. More research is needed to determine whether PD-1/PD-L intervention can treat autoimmune thyroid disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The optimization of energy layer distributions is crucial for efficient proton ARC therapy: on one hand, a sufficient number of energy layers is needed to ensure the plan quality; on the other hand, an excess number of energy jumps can substantially slow down the treatment delivery. This work will develop a new treatment plan optimization method with direct minimization of number of energy jumps (NEJ), which will be shown to outperform state-of-the-art methods in both plan quality and delivery efficiency. MATERIALS/METHODS The proposed method jointly optimizes the plan quality and minimizes the NEJ. To minimize NEJ, (1) the proton spots x is summed per energy layer to form the energy vector y; (2) y is binarized via sigmoid transform into y1; (3) y1 is multiplied with a predefined energy order vector via dot product into y2; (4) y2 is filtered through the finite-differencing kernel into y3 in order to identify NEJ; (5) only the NEJ of y3 is penalized, while x is optimized for plan quality. The solution algorithm to this new method is based on iterative convex relaxation. RESULTS The new method is validated in comparison with state-of-the-art methods called energy sequencing (ES) method and energy matrix (EM) method. In terms of delivery efficiency, the new method had fewer NEJ, less energy switching time, and generally less total delivery time. In terms of plan quality, the new method had smaller optimization objective values, lower normal tissue dose, and generally better target coverage. A head-and-neck case is provided in the table with the following dosimetric parameters: planning objective value F; conformity index CI; homogeneity index HI; mean dose of larynx DOAR; mean body dose Dbody; the unit of dose is Gy. CONCLUSION We have developed a new treatment plan optimization method with direct minimization of NEJ, and demonstrated that this new method outperformed state-of-the-art methods (ES and EM) in both plan quality and delivery efficiency.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the distribution characteristics of plasma renin concentration (PRC) in patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and its impact on diagnosis. Methods: In this retrospective case series, clinical data from 200 patients with APA (80 men and 120 women; mean age 45.6 years) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from November 2013 to January 2022 were evaluated. PRC was determined by automated chemiluminescence immunoassay. The distribution characteristics of PRC were analyzed, and 8.2 mU/L was used as the low renin cutoff to evaluate whether renin was suppressed. Results: The median PRC was 1.6 mU/L (range, 0.4-41.5 mU/L). There were 116 patients with APA with PRC of ≤2 mU/L, 41 patients with 2<PRC≤4 mU/L. PRC was not suppressed (PRC>8.2 mU/L) in 8.0% (16/200) of the patients with APA. And PRC was not suppressed in 2.5% (5/200) of the patients with APA, resulting in a primary aldosteronism negative screening outcome. Conclusions: Although most patients with APA have low PRC, there are a small number (8%) of patients whose PRC has not been fully suppressed, which can lead to missed diagnoses during primary aldosteronism screening. While primary aldosteronism is highly suspected, further investigations are required to determine the diagnosis, even if PRC is not fully suppressed at screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the current spatial distribution of iodine concentration in drinking water (dWIC) at the township-level across China and its influencing factors through visualization and spatial statistical analysis by the geographic information system. METHODS The dWIC for each township was used to describe the distribution by ArcGIS 10.7. The spatial aggregation characteristics were analyzed by spatial auto-correlation analysis. The inverse distance weight method was used to predict the dWIC at nonsampling sites. The correlation between the dWIC and the distance from each township to the Yellow River as well as the depth of tube wells were analyzed by ordinary least squares and geographically weighted regression, respectively. RESULTS A total of 37,541 townships were included in this study. dWIC ranged from 0 to 1113.7 μg/L, and the median was 3.3 μg/L. There were 35,606 townships < 40 μg/L (94.85 % of surveyed townships), 40 μg/L ≤ 1015 townships ≤100 μg/L (2.70 % of surveyed townships), and 920 townships > 100 μg/L (2.45 % of surveyed townships). The results were statistically significant of global autocorrelation analysis (Moran's I = 0.43, Z = 922.15, P < 0.01). local Moran's I showed that 3128 townships (8.33 % of surveyed townships) belong to H-H cluster areas. The dWIC were partially negatively correlated with the distance from each township to the Yellow River, as well as positively correlated with the depth of tube wells in partial areas. CONCLUSIONS The dWIC varied widely across mainland China (from 0 μg/L to 1113.7 μg/L). 94.85 % of surveyed townships were below 40 μg/L and 2.45 % of surveyed townships were exceeding 100 μg/L. Moreover, the distance from each township to the Yellow River may be one of the geneses of iodine-excess areas. Finally, this study has provided a visible reference of dWIC for the precise control strategy and focused monitoring in China.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with the collected clinical and biochemical data of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) including 249 patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism (UPA) and 107 patients with IHA, who were treated at the Department of Endocrinology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from November 2013 to November 2022. Plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin concentration (PRC) were measured by chemiluminescence. Stepwise regression analysis was applied to select the key predictors of IHA, and a nomogram-based scoring model was developed. The model was validated in another external independent cohort of patients with PA including 62 patients with UPA and 43 patients with IHA, who were diagnosed at the Department of Endocrinology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. An independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis. Results: In the training cohort, in comparison with the UPA group, the IHA group showed a higher serum potassium level [M(Q1, Q3), 3.4 (3.1, 3.8) mmol/L vs. 2.7 (2.1, 3.1) mmol/L] and higher PRC [4.0 (2.1, 8.2) mU/L vs. 1.5 (0.6, 3.4) mU/L] and a lower PAC post-saline infusion test (SIT) [305 (222, 416) pmol/L vs. 720 (443, 1 136) pmol/L] and a lower rate of unilateral adrenal nodules [33.6% (36/107) vs. 81.1% (202/249)]; the intergroup differences in these measurements were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Serum potassium level, PRC, PAC post-SIT, and the rate of unilateral adrenal nodules showed similar performance in the IHA group in the validation cohort. After stepwise regression analysis for all significant variables in the training cohort, a scoring model based on a nomogram was constructed, and the predictive parameters included the rate of unilateral adrenal nodules, serum potassium concentration, PAC post-SIT, and PRC in the standing position. When the total score was ≥14, the model showed a sensitivity of 0.65 and specificity of 0.90 in the training cohort and a sensitivity of 0.56 and specificity of 1.00 in the validation cohort. Conclusion: The nomogram was used to successfully develop a model for prediction of IHA that could facilitate selection of patients with IHA who required medication directly.

Abstract
Mycoplasma hyorhinis (M. hyorhinis) is a commensal of the upper respiratory tract in swine with the typical clinical presentations of arthritis and polyserositis in postweaning pigs. However, it has also been associated with conjunctivitis and otitis media, and recently has been isolated from meningeal swabs and/or cerebrospinal fluid of piglets with neurological signs. The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of M. hyorhinis as a potential pathogen associated with neurological clinical signs and central nervous system lesions in pigs. The presence of M. hyorhinis was evaluated in a clinical outbreak and a six-year retrospective study by qPCR detection, bacteriological culture, in situ hybridization (RNAscope®), and phylogenetic analysis and with immunohistochemistry characterization of the inflammatory response associated with its infection. M. hyorhinis was confirmed by bacteriological culture and within central nervous system lesions by in situ hybridization on animals with neurological signs during the clinical outbreak. The isolates from the brain had close genetic similarities from those previously reported and isolated from eye, lung, or fibrin. Nevertheless, the retrospective study confirmed by qPCR the presence of M. hyorhinis in 9.9% of cases reported with neurological clinical signs and histological lesions of encephalitis or meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology. M. hyorhinis mRNA was confirmed within cerebrum, cerebellum, and choroid plexus lesions by in situ hybridization (RNAscope®) with a positive rate of 72.7%. Here we present strong evidence that M. hyorhinis should be included as a differential etiology in pigs with neurological signs and central nervous system inflammatory lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify and verify the interacting protein of α-11 giardin, so as provide the experimental evidence for studies on the α-11 giardin function. METHODS The yeast two-hybrid cDNA library of the Giardia lambia C2 strain and the bait plasmid of α-11 giardin were constructed. All proteins interacting with α-11 giardin were screened using the yeast two-hybrid system. α-11 giardin and all screened potential interacting protein genes were constructed into pBiFc-Vc-155 and pBiFc-Vn-173 plasmids, and co-transfected into the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. The interactions between α-11 giardin and interacting proteins were verified using bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC). RESULTS The yeast two-hybrid G. lambia cDNA library which was quantified at 2.715 × 107 colony-forming units (CFU) and the bait plasmid containing α-11 giardin gene without an autoactivation activity were constructed. Following two-round positive screening with the yeast two-hybrid system, two potential proteins interacting with α-11 giardin were screened, including eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (EIF5A), calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CAMKL) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-specific glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH), hypothetical protein 1 (GL50803_95880), hypothetical protein 2 (GL50803_87261) and a protein from Giardia canis virus. The α-11 giardin and EIF5A genes were transfected into the pBiFc-Vc-155 and pBiFc-Vn-173 plasmids using BiFC, and the recombinant plasmids pBiFc-Vc-155-α-11 and pBiFc-Vn-173-EIF5A were co-tranfected into MDA-MB-231 cells, which displayed green fluorescence under a microscope, indicating the interaction between α-11 giardin and EIF5A protein in cells. CONCLUSIONS The yeast two-hybrid cDNA library of the G. lambia C2 strain has been successfully constructed, and six potential protein interacting with α-11 giardin have been identified, including EIF5A that interacts with α-11 giardin in cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pregnant women are among the key groups in iodine nutrition evaluation. The purpose of the present study was to summarize the evidence supporting the relationship between mild iodine deficiency (UIC: 100-150 μg/L) in pregnant women and levels of thyroid function tests. METHODS This review follows the guidelines for systematic reviews (PRISMA 2020). Three electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, and Embase) were searched for relevant publications in English on the association between mild iodine deficiency in pregnant women and thyroid function. Articles published in Chinese were searched in China's electronic databases (CNKI, WanFang, CBM, and WeiPu). Pooled effects were presented as standardized mean differences (SMDs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using fixed or random effect models, respectively. This meta-analysis was registered at www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero as CRD42019128120. RESULTS We summarized the results from 7 articles with 8261 participants. The overall pooled results showed that the levels of FT3, FT4, and abnormal TgAb (the antibody levels exceeded the upper limit of the reference range) were significantly increased in pregnant women with mild iodine deficiency compared to pregnant women with adequate iodine status (FT3: SMD=0.854, 95% CI: 0.188, 1.520; FT4: SMD=0.550, 95% CI: 0.050, 1.051; TgAb: OR=1.292, 95% CI: 1.095; 1.524). Subgroup analysis was carried out on the sample size, ethnicity, country, and gestation of FT3, FT4, and TSH, but no plausible factor was found. Egger's tests indicated no publication bias.The increase in FT3 and FT4, as well as TgAb levels, in pregnant women is associated with mild iodine deficiency. CONCLUSION Mild iodine deficiency is associated with an increase in FT3,FT4 and TgAb levels in pregnant women. Mild iodine deficiency may increase the risk of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Locked pediatric inpatient psychiatric units are vulnerable to the emergence and spread of infections, and nosocomial infection, especially respiratory tract infection is potentially a major problem. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for lower respiratory tract infection (LRI), in particular, pneumonia. METHODOLOGY We conducted a retrospective study comprising 4643 patients with schizophrenia (SZ) and 1826 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), and the chi-square test was performed to analyze the categorical variables. RESULTS The risk ratio for LRI, including pneumonia, in intensive care unit (ICU) was higher than in the general ward, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) increased the patients' susceptibility to LRI and pneumonia. Our data have revealed that patients treated with restraint or clozapine showed a higher prevalence of LRI and pneumonia, and the results indicated that the increased risk of LRI, not pneumonia, was dose-dependently observed in patients with clozapine treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that ICU and ECT treatment were risk factors for LRI and pneumonia in patients with SZ or MDD, and patients with SZ has a prevalence of hospital-acquired infection because of restraint and clozapine treatments.

Abstract
In previous studies, subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has been associated with altered lipid profiles. However, since the discrepancy between these study results may reside in the great heterogeneity of the populations studied, this relationship is controversial. This study aimed to explore the changes in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and well-matched euthyroid (EU) groups. Multiple databases were searched for publications before December 1, 2021, including cross-sectional studies on the association between SCH and lipid profile matched by age, gender, and BMI. Twenty-five articles with 3347 participants were included for meta-analysis. The results showed that the TC, TG, and LDL-c levels of the SCH groups were higher than the EU groups (TC, SMD = 0.49, 95% CI 0.27, 0.71, p < 0.001) (TG, SMD = 0.43, 95% CI 0.21, 0.64, p < 0.05 ) (LDL-c, SMD = 0.75, 95% CI 0.46, 1.03, p < 0.001 ). The HDL-c levels of the SCH group were lower than the control group (SMD = -0.53, 95% CI -0.81, -0.25, p < 0.05). SCH has a larger impact on LDL-c than the other three indicators. After subgroup analyses, there was a larger impact on lipid alteration in the subgroup of TSH > 10 μIU/ml, especially on LDL-c. This study found SCH was associated with altered lipid profiles. Appropriate clinical treatment may be needed to prevent dyslipidemia and related diseases.

Abstract
Background Creeping fat, a form of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) that wraps the intestinal wall, influences the formation of Crohn’s disease (CD) strictures. The degree of fat wrapping from intestinal stricture resections is correlated with the extent of chronic inflammation, fibrosis, stricture formation, and response to biologic therapy. VAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) ratios from CTE (computed tomography) scans are elevated in CD strictures. However, the definition of strictures in these studies has been poorly defined and not included current well-recognized criteria: 1) bowel wall thickness (BWT), 2) narrowed luminal diameter, and 3) pre-stenotic dilation. (PSD). Purpose The objective of this pilot study was to assess the relationship of 2D and 3D VAT:SAT ratios with CT stricture parameters in patients with terminal ileal (TI) CD strictures. Method 2D VAT:SAT ratios from CT’s of CD patients with TI strictures defined as increased BWT, narrowed luminal diameter (< 50% relative to normal adjacent distended loop), and PSD greater than the stricture diameter were retrospectively obtained from a database and chart review. CT’s from fibrostenotic CD patients were sex and BMI matched to patients with only TI inflammatory behaviour. Patient demographics, medication, smoking, and surgical history were also obtained. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, and BMI covariates. Unpaired t-tests and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Result(s) Twenty-eight patients with stricturing CD had a significantly greater mean VAT:SAT volume ratio than 29 non-stricturing CD (41.5 cm3 vs 34.2 cm3, p=0.03). Thirty-six percent (10/28) of CD stricture patients had prior ileocolic resection with a mean disease duration of 13.5 years (range 0-48). The median ileal BWT (7.0 mm, range 4.0-13.0 mm) for the stricturing group was significantly greater than those with inflammatory behaviour (BWT 2.0 mm, p<0.0001). The median luminal diameter and PSD for the stricture group was 2.0 mm (range 0 - 14.0 mm), and 3.0 cm (range 1.0 - 7.3 cm), respectively. Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) Fibrostenotic TI CD patients have increased VAT:SAT ratios in comparison to those with only inflammatory behaviour. These pilot VAT:SAT results provide an initial foundation for further studies to assess its predictive role in responsiveness of medical or surgical therapies in stricturing CD.

Abstract
Elderly individuals are often affected by osteoporosis and have poor stability after fracture reduction. Moreover, there is still controversy regarding the clinical effects of the treatment for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. The Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, and other databases were searched, and a meta-analysis of the literature on the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the elderly with InterTan, PFNA, and PFNA-II was conducted. Seven studies were screened, with a total of 1236 patients. Our meta-analysis results show that InterTan is not significantly different from PFNA in terms of operation and fluoroscopy times, but it takes longer than PFNA-II. In terms of postoperative screw cut, pain, femoral shaft fracture, and secondary operations, InterTan is superior to PFNA and PFNA-II. Conversely, in terms of intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and postoperative Harris score, there is no significant difference between InterTan and PFNA and PFNA-II. Compared to PFNA and PFNA-II, InterTan internal fixation has advantages in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly individuals in terms of screw cutting, femoral shaft fractures, and secondary operations. However, InterTan operation and fluoroscopy times take longer than PFNA and PFNA-II.

Abstract
Excess iodine can cause autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in women, but it is unclear whether this has any implications for neurodevelopmental mechanisms in offspring. We studied the effects of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) rats with different amounts of iodine intake on offspring brain development via the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-tropomycin receptor kinase B (TrkB) signaling pathway, because BDNF plays an important role in neurodevelopment. Rats in three thyroglobulin (Tg) immunized groups with varying iodine intakes (Tg (100 µg/L iodine), Tg + High-iodine I group (Tg + HI, 20 mg/L iodine), and Tg + High-iodine II group (Tg + HII, 200 mg/L iodine)) were injected with 800 µg Tg once every 2 weeks for 3 times. Rats in the control group (NI, 100 µg/L iodine) were immunized with saline. Arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry was used to measure urine iodine levels. The lymphocytic infiltration in the thyroids was observed by histopathological studies. Thyroid autoantibodies levels were measured using radioimmunoassay. The norepinephrine (NE) contents were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway and related genes were measured by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. Urinary iodine levels increased as iodine intake increased. Lymphocytes were significantly aggravated in Tg-immunized rats. Serum thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels were clearly elevated in Tg-immunized rats. Tg-immune groups had significantly lower NE levels. The BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway and related gene mRNA and protein levels were found to be significantly lower in Tg-immune groups with higher iodine levels. Maternal AIT may reduce the levels of certain neurodevelopmental mechanisms in the offspring, such as the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway and related factors, while excessive iodine consumption by the mother may exacerbate this effect.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the predictive value of 68Ga-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 (68Ga-PSMA-11) integrated positron-emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in PBRM1-deficient clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 41 patients with ccRCC, were enrolled retrospectively and underwent 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT preoperatively. Radiological parameters, including CT attenuation value and maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax), were derived. Immunohistochemical and multiple immunofluorescences staining were performed to evaluate the PBRM1 status and immune response. The predictive value of imaging factors was analysed using a receiver operator characteristic curve analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the relationship between clinical and radiological variables and PBRM1 status. RESULTS A total of 41 patients were included in this study, with 14 patients having PBRM1-deficient status. The tumour diameter on imaging and SUVmax differed significantly in patients with different PBRM1 expression statuses and no difference in CT attenuation was identified. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed SUVmax was an obvious predictor for identification of PBRM1-deficient tumours. In addition, PBRM1-deficient tumours tended to be accompanied by greater cytotoxic T-cell infiltration, although most of them were in an exhausted state. CONCLUSIONS 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT could be used to discriminate invasive PBRM1-deficient ccRCC.

Abstract
Iodine excess (IE) can cause thyroid dysfunction, thyroid diseases can adversely affect cardiovascular function. Accordingly, this study was to explore the direct and indirect effects of IE on endothelial function. Nthy-ori 3-1 and HUVECs cells were treated with potassium iodide (KI). CCK-8, LDH leakage, Elisa, RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect relevant indicators. Results showed that a certain level of KI can directly and indirectly reduce the viability of HUVECs and increase cytotoxicity. KI decreased the expression of ET-1 and VWF in HUVECs, inhibited the secretion of ET-1 in culture medium, and increased the expression of IL-6 and TNFα in HUVECs or Nthy-ori 3-1 cells alone. In the co-culture system, KI decreased the expression of ET-1 and THBD and increased the expression of TNFα and IL-6. Collectively, IE can directly and indirectly inhibit endothelial function of endothelial cells, which may be related to its induced inflammatory response.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility and efficacy of radiofrequency coblation assisted transoral surgery for the treatment of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma by comparing with concurrent patients treated with conventional transcervical approach. To clarify the advantages of different surgical methods and to summarize the experience of supraglottic carcinoma radiofrequency ablation. Methods: Forty-six patients with supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma treated in department of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery, Peking University First Hospital from March 2014 to January 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them(43 males, 3 females, aged from 45 to 79 years old), 23 patients were treated with radiofrequency coblation and 23 patients with partial laryngectomy with conventional transcervical approach. The operation time, intra-operative blood loss volume, recovery time, inpatient total medical cost and follow-up information of the two groups were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: There were no significant differences in age, gender, TNM staging,tumor staging and postoperative radiotherapy between the two groups (all P>0.05).The operation time, intra-operative blood loss volume, recovery time, inpatient total medical cost of the RFC-TOS group were110.0(60.0,150.0)min,5.0(5.0,30.0)ml,3.0(2.0,5.0)days,6.0(4.0,14.0)days and 26 100.7(16 145.5,47 044.4)yuan. The data of conventional transcervical approach group were 205.0(156.5,272.3)min, 150.0(50,200) ml, 18.0(16.3,22.8)days and 56520.1(440 992.5,67 109.9)yuan, (Z=-4.03, -4.94, -4.97, -4.98 and -4.13;all P<0.001).The 5-year local control rate, disease-specific survival rate and overall survival rate of the two groups were 86.96%,95.65%,91.30% and 86.96%,91.30%,73.90% renspectively, which had no significant difference between the two groups(all P>0.05). Conclusions: Compared with conventional transcervical surgeries, RFC-TOS could be a reliable new surgical option for organ-function preservation strategy in the treatment of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma.The RFC is a suitable new technique and deserving more multi-center clinical trials for its clinical promotion.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the population's iodine nutrition and thyroid diseases in different water iodine areas and to offer suggestions to the governments of different countries to adjust the present policy in different water iodine areas. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in different water iodine areas in China. Urinary iodine, water iodine, salt iodine and thyroid function were determined. The thyroid volumes and nodules were measured by ultrasound. Upon categorization by water iodine level for the 10.0 ~ 39.9 μg/L, 40.0 ~ 100.0 μg/L and 100.1 ~ 150.0 μg/L areas, in adults, the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was 9.28%, 5.35% and 11.07%, and the median urinary iodine (MUI) was 153.7 μg/L, 189.8 μg/L and 317.0 μg/L; in children of the three areas, the prevalence of goitre was 3.83%, 4.47% and 16.02%, and the MUI was 164.1 μg/L, 221.0 μg/L and 323.3 μg/L; in pregnant women of those areas, the MUI was 148.6 μg/L, 176.9 μg/L and 324.9 μg/L. Logistic regression results indicated that low iodine intake was a risk factor for developing hypothyroxinaemia in pregnant women. The iodine status of pregnant women is insufficient in areas with a median water iodine level of 10.0 ~ 39.9 μg/L. Low iodine intake increases the risk of developing hypothyroxinaemia in pregnant women. The iodine status of adults and children is excessive, and the iodine status of pregnant women is above the requirements in areas with a median water iodine concentration of 100.1 ~ 150.0 μg/L. Iodized salt, especially for pregnant women, should be supplied in areas with a median water iodine concentration of 10.0 ~ 39.9 μg/L to improve the iodine status of pregnant women. Supplying non-iodized salt is not enough to protect local residents from the harm from excess iodine in areas with a median water iodine concentration above 100.0 μg/L.

Abstract
Iodine is an essential trace element in the human body. Severe maternal iodine deficiency during pregnancy leads to obvious intellectual disability in the offspring. The effects of iodine deficiency on brain development have been demonstrated, but there is no clear evidence of the effects of iodine excess on brain development. To clarify the effects of iodine excess on the brain development of offspring and to provide clues to the mechanisms underlying the effects of iodine deficiency and iodine excess on the brain development of offspring. In this study, animal models with different iodine intakes were constructed using potassium iodate (KIO3). The models included four experimental groups (low-iodine group one (LI, 0μg/L iodine), low-iodine group two (LII, 5μg/L iodine), high-iodine group one (HI, 3000μg/L iodine), and high-iodine group two (HII, 10000μg/L iodine)) and one control group (NI, 100μg/L iodine). There were 20 female rats in each group, and 8 offspring were chosen from each group following birth to assess metabolic alterations. The metabolites of subsets of brain hippocampal tissue were profiled by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linked electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOFMS) and the results were subjected to multivariate data analysis. Differential substances were screened by t test (p<0.05), principal component analysis (PCA), and partial least squares analysis (PLS-DA, VIP>1). The thyroid function of the female rats in the experimental group was abnormally changed. Metabolic analysis showed that the five groups were separated which revealed significant differences in hippocampal tissue metabolism among the five groups of offspring. A total of 12 potential metabolites were identified, with the majority of them being related to amino acid and energy metabolism. These metabolites are involved in various metabolic pathways, are interrelated, and may play a function in brain development. Our study highlights changes in metabolites and metabolic pathways in the brain hippocampus of offspring rats with different iodine intakes compared to controls, revealing new insights into hippocampal metabolism in offspring rats and new relevant targets.

Abstract
A high-throughput screening method was developed for aquaculture products. Modified QuEChERS extraction was used in couple with LC/Q-TOF-HRMS. A mega-database was established for 756 multiclass chemical contaminants. The method had desirable sensitivity, recovery and repeatability. Analysis of real-life samples evidenced applicability of the proposed method.
A high-throughput screening method embracing 756 multiclass chemical contaminants in aquaculture products was developed using modified QuEChERS extraction coupled with liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A mega-database with retention time/accurate mass data for 524 pesticides, 182 veterinary drugs, 32 persistent organic pollutants and 18 marine toxins was established for compound identification via retrospective library searching. In the four representative matrices (muscle tissues of tilapia and grouper, and edible portions of oyster and scallop), all the database compounds showed acceptable recovery and repeatability with the screening detection limit and limit of quantification below 0.01 mg/kg for >90% of them. The matrix-matched calibration revealed acceptable quantitative property of the method in terms of linear range, linearity, and matrix effect, and fish muscle samples showed stronger matrix effect than shellfish samples. Analysis of 64 real-life samples from aquaculture farms and retail markets evidenced applicability of the proposed method to high-throughput screening scenarios.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiation enteritis (RE) caused by radiation therapy, can seriously affect human health. Recently, studies on RE have been growing rapidly, but there are no bibliometric studies on RE. This study aims to explore the development trends and research hotspots of RE. METHODS Academic papers on the Web of Science were retrieved on the topic of "radioactive enteritis" from the establishment of the database to December 2020. Countries, institutions, and subjects selected in this field were visualized using Citespace, HistCite, and Vosviewer. The annual trends in publications, distribution, co-authorship status, and research hotspots were analyzed. RESULTS The authors ranked first in terms of publication amount were Delaney, Francois, Milliat, and Vozenin-Brotons. The United States had the highest number of posts, followed by China, France, the United Kingdom, and Spain. CONCLUSION Future research in the field of RE will focus on double-blind clinical trials of RE, and the related mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the status of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) in three areas with differing water iodine concentrations; and to discuss the relationships between these two thyroid antibodies and thyroid diseases in the three areas. We investigated 2503 adults from three areas. Urinary iodine concentrations, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), TPOAb, TGAb and thyroid volume (TV) were measured, and thyroid ultrasonography was performed. The positivity rates of TGAb(+), TPOAb(+) and TGAb(+) and TPOAb(+) or TGAb(+) were significantly higher in iodine fortification (IF) areas than iodine adequate (IA) areas (all P < 0·05). In IF and iodine excess areas, the positivity rates of TPOAb(+), TGAb(+) and TPOAb(+) or TGAb(+) significantly increased with age (all P for trend < 0·05). The levels of TSH, TV and the prevalence of overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and goitre were significantly elevated in the thyroid antibody-positive groups in the three areas, but the FT3 was diminished (all P < 0·010). Positivity for TPOAb and TGAb was associated with an increased risk of subclinical hypothyroidism in the three areas. In areas with different median water iodine, positivity for both TPOAb and TGAb was associated with elevated TSH values. Notably, with the increased levels of TPOAb, the frequency of abnormally elevated TSH increased dramatically in the three areas.

Abstract
PURPOSE Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is one of the most common autoimmune endocrine diseases. The currently recognized causes are genetic susceptibility, environmental factors and immune disorders. It is important to clarify the pathogenesis for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment of AIT and scientific iodine supplementation. This study analyzed the DNA methylation levels of PRKAA2, ITGA6, PRL and THEM4 genes related to PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, compared the DNA methylation levels between cases and controls from different water iodine levels in Shandong Province of China, and evaluated the contribution of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway-related genes in AIT. METHODS A total of 176 adult AIT patients were included from three different water iodine areas, and 176 healthy controls were included according to gender, age and BMI. According to the results of the Illumina Methylation 850 K BeadChip in our previous research, the significant methylation differences of genes on the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway related to AIT were determined. The MethylTarget™ assay was used to detect the methylation levels of the target genes, and real-time PCR experiments were used to verify the mRNA expression levels. RESULTS Compared with the control group, PRKAA2_3 and 15 CpG sites were hyper-methylated. ITGA6 gene and 2 CpG sites were hypo-methylated in AIT cases. The mRNA expression of ITGA6 gene was negatively correlated with the DNA methylation levels of ITGA6 gene and 2 CpG sites. Compared with cases and controls in areas with different water iodine levels, methylation differences were mainly in PRKAA2 and ITGA6 genes. The methylation levels of PRKAA2_1 and PRKAA2_3 were positively correlated with age. The methylation levels of PRL and THEM4 genes were negatively correlated with age. The methylation level of PRKAA2_3 was positively correlated with FT4. CONCLUSION In summary, we identified aberrant DNA methylation levels of PRKAA2 and ITGA6 genes related to PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in the blood of AIT patients. Both iodine supplementation after long-term iodine deficiency and iodine excess can affect the DNA methylation levels of PRKAA2 and ITGA6 genes, and the former affects more obviously. In ITGA6 gene, this aberrant epigenetic modification is associated with the increased mRNA expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of interference of P2X4 receptor expression in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) on invasion and migration of glioma cells. METHODS C57BL/6 mouse models bearing gliomas in the caudate nucleus were examined for glioma pathology with HE staining and expressions of Iba-1 and P2X4 receptor with immunofluorescence assay. RAW264.7 cells were induced into TAMs using conditioned medium from GL261 cells, and the changes in mRNA expressions of macrophage polarization-related markers and the mRNA and protein expressions of P2X4 receptor were detected with RT-qPCR and Western blotting. The effect of siRNA-mediated P2X4 interference on IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA and protein expressions in the TAMs was detected with RT-qPCR and Western blotting. GL261 cells were cultured in the conditioned medium from the transfected TAMs, and the invasion and migration abilities of the cells were assessed with Transwell invasion and migration experiment. RESULTS The glioma tissues from the tumor-bearing mice showed a significantly greater number of Iba-1-positive cells, where an obviously increased P2X4 receptor expression was detected (P=0.001), than the brain tissues of the control mice (P < 0.001). The M2 macrophage markers (Arg-1 and IL-10) and M1 macrophage markers (iNOS and TNF-α) were both significantly up-regulated in the TAMs derived from RAW264.7 cells (all P < 0.01), but the up-regulation of the M2 macrophage markers was more prominent; the expression levels of P2X4 receptor protein and mRNA were both increased in the TAMs (P < 0.05). Interference of P2X4 receptor expression significantly lowered the mRNA(P < 0.01)and protein (P < 0.01, P < 0.05)expression levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the TAMs and obviously inhibited the ability of the TAMs to promote invasion and migration of the glioma cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Interference of P2X4 receptor in the TAMs suppresses the migration and invasion of glioma cells possibly by lowering the expressions of IL-1β and IL-18.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical value of three-dimensional (3D) visualization technique in laparoscopic D3 radical resection of right colon cancer. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 73 patients with right colon cancer undergoing laparoscopic D3 radical operation in our hospital between May, 2019 and March, 2021. Among these patients, 41 underwent enhanced CT examination with 3D visualization reconstruction to guide the actual operation, and 32 underwent enhanced CT examination only before the operation (control group). In 3D visualization group, we examined the coincidence rate between the 3D visualization model and the findings in surgical exploration of the anatomy and variations of the main blood vessels, supplying vessels of the tumor, and the tumor location, and the coincidence rate between the actual surgical plan for D3 radical resection of right colon cancer and the plan formulated based on the 3D model. The operative time, estimated blood loss, unexpected injury of blood vessels, number of harvested lymph nodes, mean time of the first flatus, complications, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative drainage volume were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The operative time was significantly shorter in 3D visualization group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The volume of blood loss, proportion of unexpected injury of blood vessel, the number of harvested lymph nodes, time of the first flatus, proportion of complications, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative drainage volume did not differ significantly between the two groups (P > 0.05). In the 3D visualization group, the 3D visualization model clearly displayed the shape and direction of the colon, the location of the tumor, the anatomy and variation of the main blood vessels and the blood vessels supplying the cancer, and showed a coincidence rate of 100% with the findings by surgical exploration. The surgical plan for D3 radical resection of right colon cancer was formulated based on the 3D model also showed a coincidence rate of 100% with the actual surgical plan. CONCLUSION The 3D visualization reconstruction technique allows clear visualization the supplying arteries of the tumor and their variations to improve the efficiency, safety and accuracy of laparoscopic D3 radical resection of right colon cancer.

Abstract
The purpose of this meta-analysis is to comprehensively investigate the effect of iodine excess on children's intellectual development in areas with high iodine levels in their drinking water. We systematically searched the electronic databases and identified 17 publications (16 in Chinese and 1 in English) on the effect of iodine excess on children's intelligence published between January 31, 1985, and January 31, 2020. This meta-analysis included 14,794 children from 28 studies. The results showed that compared with the control group, the intelligence level of children in the high iodine group reduced significantly by 1.64 points (WMD=-1.64; 95% CI (-3.225, -0.049), Z=2.02, P<0.05). Subgroup analyses were performed according to the water iodine concentration, water iodine concentration of the control group, the intelligence test method, and regions of China (i.e., north and south). We noted that when the water iodine concentration was <300μg/L, 301-600μg/L, 600.1-900μg/L, and >900μg/L, the intelligence level of the high iodine groups decreased by varying degrees, although not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The water iodine concentration of the control group was divided into two groups (<150 μg/L and <100 μg/L) and the heterogeneity analysis showed that the heterogeneity of the control group decreased significantly when the concentration of water iodine was <150 μg/L, I2 = 67.3%, P<0.001, which indicated a potential source of heterogeneity. The analyses by test method showed that among the studies which used the China Joint Raven's test, the intelligence level of children in the high iodine group was 0.86 points lower than in the control group (P>0.05). Conversely, we observed that among the studies which used the China Binet intelligence test and the binaphthalene intelligence test of Tanzhida in Japan to evaluate children's intelligence level, the intelligence level of children in the high iodine groups was significantly lower (3.65 points and 8.0 points, respectively) compared with the control groups (P<0.05). The analysis of the regions of China demonstrated that whereas the reduction in children's intelligence level from excess iodine in the north of China was not statistically significant (WMD=-0.16, 95% CI (-2.18, 1.85), P>0.05), the association was statistically significant in the southern part of China (WMD=-1.86, 95% CI (-3.57, -0.09), P<0.05). This study found that high iodine concentration was statistically significantly associated with a decline in intelligence level in children. Comparatively, the intelligence level of children who were exposed to high iodine concentrations reduced significantly by 1.64 points. These findings have public health implications.

Abstract
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) has a complex etiology and the susceptibility to it is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, although these are not yet fully understood. The present research aimed to explore the DNA methylation patterns in whole blood of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway related genes in AIT among areas with different iodine levels. We selected the iodine-fortification areas (IFA), iodine-adequate areas (IAA) and water-based iodine-excess areas (IEA) from Shandong Province of China as survey sites. Totally 176 AIT cases and 176 controls were included. MethylTargetTM and QT-PCR technology were used to detect candidate genes' DNA methylation levels and mRNA expression levels, respectively. We found that DAPK1 DNA methylation levels in AIT cases (especially in female) were significantly higher than controls (t=2.7715, P=0.0059; t=2.4638, P=0.0143 in female). There were differences in DAPK1(t=2.5384, P=0.0121), TNFSF8(t=2.1667, P=0.0334) and TNFAIP8(t=2.5672, P=0.0121) genes methylation between cases and controls with different water iodine levels. The mRNA expression of DAPK1(t=4.329, P<0.001) and TNFAIP8(t=3.775, P<0.001) in the cases were increased. We identified the differences in the DNA methylation status of the extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway related genes between AIT and controls and in different iodine levels areas. The results were verified at the mRNA level. The environmental iodine may affect DNA methylation to some extent.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an excellent donor graft source due to their potential for self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation. However, the potential mechanisms involved in MSC homing and neural differentiation are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a chemokine, SDF-1α, and Wnt3a ligand on rat MSCs' migration and β-mercaptoethanol (BME)-induced neural differentiation of MSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow and cultured in vitro to passage 3. Scratch tests and transwell assays were used to estimate the effects of SDF-1α (25 ng/mL) and Wnt3a (10 ng/mL) on the migration of MSCs. The expression of Wnt/PCP pathway proteins RhoA, c-Jun, ATF2, and Wnt3a were assessed by Western blot. The 5 mM BME-induced neural differentiation of MSCs was determined by immunofluorescence to detect neuron- and astrocyte-specific markers such as nestin, GFAP, and Olig2. RESULTS Wnt3a promoted the migration ability of MSCs and regulated the expression of RhoA, c-Jun, and ATF2 proteins. MSCs could differentiate into neural stem cells and astrocytes. Wnt3a enhanced BME-induced neurogenesis in MSCs by increasing the protein expression of RhoA, c-Jun, and Wnt3a. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that the Wnt/PCP pathway promotes migration and neural differentiation of rat MSC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we sought to explore the effectiveness of bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on depressive symptoms and dysfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty-six adults with MDD were administrated drugs combined with 3 weeks of active rTMS (n = 68) or sham (n = 68) treatment. The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) was to elevate depression severity at baseline and weeks 4. To test the influence of rTMS on the HPA axis, plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and serum cortisol (COR) were detected in pre- and post-treatment. RESULTS No statistical significance was found for the baseline of sociodemographic, characteristics of depression, and psychopharmaceutical dosages between sham and rTMS groups (p > 0.05). There was a significant difference in the HAMD-17 total score between the two groups at end of 4 weeks after treatment (p < 0.05). Compared to the sham group, the rTMS group demonstrated a more significant score reduction of HAMD-17 and sleep disorder factor (HAMD-SLD) including sleep onset latency, middle awakening, and early awakening items at end of 4-week after treatment (p < 0.05). Furthermore, total score reduction of HAMD-17 was correlated with a decrease in plasma ACTH, not in COR, by rTMS stimulation (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Bilateral rTMS for 3 weeks palliated depression via improvement of sleep disorder, and plasma ACTH is a predictor for the efficacy of rTMS, especially in male patients with MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Endemic cretinism is the most severe manifestation among the iodine deficiency-related disorders. The clinical status of the cretins may be modified subsequently by the duration and severity of the disease. We aimed to reassess the clinical status and thyroid function of 31 surviving "neurological cretins" after 42 years of iodine supplementation in a historically severely iodine deficiency area of China. METHODS It was a cross-sectional study in design and we investigated all 31 surviving neurological cretins and 85 controls. A detailed neurological examination was conducted on each patients. All the participants were given a questionnaire and underwent B-mode ultrasonography of the thyroid. The serum levels of thyroid hormones, thyroid antibodies, serum iodine concentration (SIC) and urine iodine concentration (UIC) were measured. RESULTS The neurological cretins had shorter stature than that of the control. Neurological damage is still present in patients with cretinism. The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid nodule in the cretins was significantly higher (χ2 =4.766, P=0.029 and χ2 =17.077, P<0.0001, respectively) compared with the control. After adjusting for confounding factors, endemic neurocretinism was found to be an independent risk factor for subclinical hypothyroidism (OR=4.412; 95% CI: 1.358-14.334; P=0.014) and thyroid nodule (OR=6.433; 95% CI: 2.323-17.816; P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Iodine supplementation after birth does not reverse the neurological damage that results from maternal/foetal hypothyroidism in utero and is subsequently manifested as neurological cretinism. There is a cross-sectional association between endemic neurocretinism and subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid nodule.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The retrospective study aimed to explore the difference in mood outcomes and cognitive function between high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and electroconvulsive therapy in major depression disorder (MDD) patients and to examine the improvement of HF-rTMS on cognitive impairment evoked by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 116 participants with MDD, who completed a 4-week follow-up assessment, were enrolled. The cohort consisted of 26 cases classed as control, 46 participants administrated with HF-rTMS (HF-rTMS group), 22 patients treated with ECT (ECT group), and 23 cases treated with HF-rTMS and ECT at the course of hospitalization (HF-rTMS + ECT group). Medication was kept constant as well in all participants. The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) and 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA-14) were used to assess depression and anxiety, respectively. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was to elevate cognitive function. RESULTS No statistical significance was found for baseline in sociodemographic, characteristics of depression, anxiety and cognition, and psychopharmaceutic dosages among control, HF-rTMS, ECT, and HF-rTMS + ECT groups (p > 0.05). Compared with baseline level, total scores of HAMD-17 and HAMA-14 significantly decreased at the end of 4 weeks after treatment (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the decline in scores of HAMD-17 and its sleep disorder and retardation factors from baseline to post-treatment was greater in HF-rTMS, ECT, and HF-rTMS + ECT group than in control (p < 0.05), and there was a significant difference between control and HF-rTMS group in the decline of psychological factor of HAMA-14 (p < 0.01). ECT treatment evoked total score of MoCA to decrease significantly at the end of 4-week after intervention (p < 0.001), and the decline in scores of MoCA and its delayed recall and language performances from baseline to post-treatment was greater in ECT than control, HF-rTMS, and HF-rTMS + ECT (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation improved psychological anxiety and ameliorated the cognition impairment evoked by ECT though it had the same anti-depressant efficacy as ECT.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the early outcome of one-stage hybrid technique in the treatment of Stanford type-A aortic dissection involving the arch and compare its therapeutic efficacy with the classical frozen elephant trunk technique (FET). Methods: A total of 106 patients with Stanford type-A aortic dissection involving the arch in Department of Cardiac and Vascular Surgery, 1st Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from October 2015 to October 2019 was collected. All patients in this group were treated with one-stage hybrid technique (modified arch debranching technique) without deep hypothermia circulation. Meanwhile, 30 patients with Stanford type A dissection involving the arch who underwent FET from January 2014 to September 2015 were collected. The therapeutic effects of the two surgical methods were analyzed and compared. Results: The age [M (Q1, Q3)] of 106 patients in hybrid group was 49.0 (40.0, 55.0) years, including 89 males and 17 females. The age [M(Q1, Q3)] of 30 patients in FET group was 49.5 (41.5, 65.3) years, including 24 males and 6 females. The time [M(Q1, Q3)] of using ventilator in hybrid group was 56.0 (38.0, 72.0) h, which was shorter than 127.0 (92.0, 145.0) h in FET group (P<0.001). The incidence of cerebral infarction in hybrid group was 2.8% (3 cases), which was lower than 13.3% (4 cases) in FET group (P=0.042); the incidence of postoperative renal insufficiency in hybrid group was 7.5% (8 cases), which was lower than 23.3% (7 cases) in FET group (P=0.023); the ICU time [M (Q1, Q3)] in hybrid group was 8.0 (6.0, 10.0) d, which was shorter than 14.0 (8.3, 24.0) d in FET group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Compared with FET, one-stage hybrid technology is safer and more effective in the treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection involving the arch. Its short-term therapeutic efficacy appears good.

Abstract
Background The study created mice model of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and induced thyroid inflammatory cell lines, exploring the mechanism of Xiaoying Daotan decoction on HT. Methods Divided HT mice models into model group (0.2 mL saline), Western medicine group (0.2 mL levothyroxine sodium tablets), traditional Chinese medicine group (0.2 mL Xiaoyin Daotan prescription), and Notch protein inhibition group (0.2 mL Xiaoyin Daotan prescription). After treatment, serum Notch protein expression and T cell (Treg)/T helper cell 17 (Th17) cytokines levels were detected through Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Use real-time qualitative polymerase chain reaction detected Notch protein expression. Thyroid inflammatory cell lines were induced and divided into 5 groups: blank group, iNotch group (knocking down the Notch protein gene of thyroid inflammatory cells), NC group (Notch protein carrier negative control group), iNotch + DS group and DS group (knocking down the Notch protein gene of thyroid inflammatory cells). The cells were treated with serum containing Xiaoying Daotan decoction. After culture, detected Notch protein expression level and Treg/Th17 cytokine level in each group. Results For the animal experiment, the serum Notch protein expression, the serum levels of key activating proteins Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3), RAR-related orphan receptor gamma T (RORγt), and interleukin (IL)-22 of Th17 cells of mice in the model group was significantly higher than that of the other groups. Compared with the model group and Western medicine group, the serum transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) level of the mice in the traditional Chinese medicine group and the Notch protein inhibition group was significantly higher. All the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). For the cell experiment, the β-actin value of Notch protein in thyroid inflammatory cell genes was significantly downregulated and the key activation protein of Treg was significantly upregulated in iNotch + DS group and DS group compared with the other 3 groups. Levels of Th17 key activating proteins STAT3, IL-17, and IL-22 in the iNotch group, iNotch + DS group, and DS group were lower than those of the blank group and NC group, both with statistically significant difference (P<0.001). Conclusions The mechanism of Xiaoying Daotan decoction on HT could be related to the immune inflammatory response of the Treg/Th17 cell axis mediated by the Notch protein pathway.
