Abstract
1. The following study addressed the problem of small duck eggs as challenging to detect and identify for pick up in complex free-range duck farm environments. It introduces improvements to the YOLOv4 convolutional neural network target detection algorithm, based on the working conditions of egg-picking robots.2. Specifically, one scale of anchor boxes was removed from the prediction network, and a duck egg labelling dataset was established to make the improved algorithm YOLOv4-ours better match the working state of egg-picking robots and enhance detection performance.3. Through multiple comparative experiments, the YOLOv4-ours object detection algorithm exhibited superior overall performance, achieving a precision of 98.85%, recall of 96.67%, and an average precision of 98.60% and F1 score increased to 97%. Compared to the original YOLOv4 model, these improvements represented increases of 1.89%, 3.41%, 1.32%, and 1.04%, respectively. Furthermore, detection time was reduced from 0.26 seconds per image to 0.20 seconds.4. The enhanced model accurately detected duck eggs in free-range duck housing, effectively meeting the real-time egg identification and picking requirements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is an intractable medical problem linked with to high morbidity and mortality all over the worldglobally. The prognosis of advanced acute lung injury remains persistently poor due to its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Despite advancements in medical research, the its prognosis of advanced ALI remains persistently poor due to unclear underlying mechanisms. We aimed to investigate the protective effects of silencing information regulator 1 (SIRT1) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injuryALI and to reveal its underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS Male Sprague--Dawley rats were divided grouped into 4 groupsfour: normal saline group (group NS), lipopolysaccharide group (group L), SIRT1 activator SRT1720-pretreated group (group S), and SIRT1 inhibitor EX527- pretreated group (group E). Rats They were intranasally dripped with LPS to establish the model of ALI modelsacute lung injury respectively. We investigated the effect of SIRT1 on acute lung injury by analysing We analyzed the CT images of the rat lungs and used, HE staining, lung wet-to-dry ratio, inflammatory factor expression, lung injury marker expression, immunohistochemistry, and related mRNA expression to determine the effect of SIRT1 on ALI. RESULTS Our results show that LPS induction produced resulted in acute lung injury, ALI and disrupting disrupted normal SIRT1 expression, which led to the overexpression of STAT3, TLR4, TNF-ɑ, and IL-6 and suppression of Cav-1 expression. Upregulation The upregulation of Cav-1 protein and mRNA following the administration of an SIRT1 agonist resulted in reduced lung injury. SRT1720 pretreatment was closely associated with reduced expressions of STAT3,TLR4, TNF-ɑ, and IL-6. ALI lung injury was more severeworsened after administration of SIRT1 inhibitors, and the changes in the above indicators were reversed. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that SIRT1 may protect against LPS-induced acute lung injuryALI via by counteracting inflammatory remissionion, and this protective effect might may be mediated by suppressing STAT3 to activate the expression ofinduce Cav-1 expression.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship of CAN and BMD, fracture risk is still unclear in T2DM. The aim of the present study is to investigate the correlation between heart rate variability (HRV) and BMD in T2DM. METHODS The study included 276 patients with T2DM aged ≥ 50 years, and Cardiovascular Autonomic Reflex Tests (CARTs) were applied to divide patients into two groups: CAN ( ±). 24 h Ambulatory ECG was assessed for HRV, BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray bone densitometry, and FRAX scores were calculated for 10-year hip fracture risk (HF1) and major osteoporotic fracture risk (MOF). Adjusted regression analysis was performed to investigate influence factors for BMD and fracture risk. ROC curve was used to analyze the optimal cut-off point of LF/HF for screening osteoporosis. RESULTS Baseline data showed significant differences in the duration of T2DM, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D], femoral neck BMD, hip BMD, lumbar BMD, HF1, and MOF between the CAN ( +) and CAN (-) groups. The proportion of patients with osteoporosis increased as the degree of CAN lesion increased. Correlation analysis showed that LF/HF was significantly correlated with BMD, especially with hip (r = - 0.534, p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that LF/HF was a risk factor for reduced BMD and increased fracture risk. The optimal cut-point value for LF/HF to predict osteoporosis by ROC curve analysis was 3.17. CONCLUSIONS CAN is associated with reduced BMD and increased fracture risk in patients with T2DM, and LF/HF may have the potential to be a predictor of diabetic osteoporosis and have some clinical value in early diagnosis of diabetic osteoporosis and non-traumatic fractures in T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to assess the reporting quality of the clinical practice guidelines/consensuses on metastatic colorectal cancer based on the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) checklist. METHODS We searched China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP database, Wanfang Data, Chinese Biological Literature Service System, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Elsevier clinicalkey, BMJ Database, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, World Health Organization Network and other websites. We collected clinical practice guidelines/consensuses on metastatic colorectal cancer with published between 1 January 2017 and 1 April 2021 after release of the RIGHT checklist. Two reviewers extracted the basic information independently and conducted a RIGHT evaluation. RESULTS Eighteen guidelines/consensuses were included, 10 from China and 8 from other countries. The average reporting rate was 74.1%±11.2%. Thirteen items had 100% reporting rate, and the reporting rate for items No. 16 (11.1%), 17 (16.7%) and 18b (22.2%) was low. Basic information had the highest reporting rate (100%), whereas review and quality assurance had the lowest (13.9%). The average reporting rate of guidelines/consensuses published in other countries was higher than in China [p=0.005; odds ration (OR) 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-1.28]. The average reporting rate of the guidelines was higher than that of the consensus statements (p<0.001; OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.10-1.31). The reporting rates of guidelines/consensuses focused on whole body (79.0%±12.7%) were higher than local organ (69.2%±7.3%) metastases (p=0.005; OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.04-1.25). CONCLUSIONS The quality of reporting using the RIGHT checklist varied among the guidelines/consensuses on metastatic colorectal cancer. Low-quality items were external review and quality assurance. Developers of guidelines/consensuses should aim to improve the reporting quality in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) induced by diabetes results in further brain injury and nerve cell death. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation contributes to attenuating neurological deficits after ICH. This study investigated the mechanism of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from BMSCs in reducing neuroinflammation after diabetic ICH. METHODS BMSC-EVs were isolated and identified. The rat model of db/db-ICH was established and the model rats were administered with EVs. miR-183-5p expression in brain tissues of db/db-ICH rats was detected. The brain injury of db/db-ICH rats was evaluated by measuring neurobehavioral score, brain water content and inflammatory factors. BV2 cells were cultured in vitro to establish high-glucose (HG)-Hemin-BV2 cell model. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory factors in BV2 cells were measured, and BV2 cell viability and apoptosis were assessed. The targeting relationship between miR-183-5p and PDCD4 was predicted and verified. The activation of PDCD4/NLRP3 pathway in rat brain tissues and BV2 cells was detected. RESULTS miR-183-5p expression was reduced in db/db-ICH rats brain tissues. BMSC-EVs ameliorated cranial nerve function, decreased brain water content and repressed inflammatory response by carrying miR-183-5p. BMSC-EVs mitigated HG-Hemin-BV2 cell injury, reduced ROS level and suppressed inflammatory response. miR-183-5p targeted PDCD4. PDCD4 promoted BV2 cell inflammation by activating the NLRP3 pathway. BMSC-EVs inhibited HG-Hemin-BV2 cell inflammation through the miR-183-5p/PDCD4/NLRP3 pathway, and inhibition of miR-183-5p reversed the protective effect of EVs. CONCLUSION BMSC-EVs carried miR-183-5p into db/db-ICH rat brain tissues and repressed the NLRP3 pathway by targeting PDCD4, thus alleviating neuroinflammation after diabetic ICH.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The China National Fracture Study has been conducted to provide a national dataset of traumatic fractures across China. A national representative sample of 512,187 individuals was selected. The population-weighted incidence rates, distribution, injury mechanisms, and risk factors for traumatic fractures were identified for various groups of individuals. INTRODUCTION The China National Fracture Study (CNFS) has been conducted to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date national dataset of traumatic fractures across China. This study aims to report the national incidences and distributions of traumatic fractures that occurred in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and to analyze the risk factors. METHODS A national representative sample of individuals was selected from 24 rural counties and 24 urban cities of 8 provinces using stratified random sampling and the probability proportional to size (PPS) methodology. Participants were interviewed to identify whether they sustained traumatic fractures of the trunk and/or four extremities that had occurred in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The main risk factors associated with traumatic fractures were analyzed by multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 512,187 individuals, including 259,649 males and 252,538 females, participated in the CNFS. The population-weighted incidence rates of traumatic fractures in China were calculated to be 2.5 (95% CI, 2.2-2.8) per 1000 population in 2012, 2.8 (95% CI, 2.5-3.3) in 2013, and 3.2% (95% CI, 2.8-3.6) in 2014. The population-weighted incidence rates of fragility fractures among participants aged 65 years and older were calculated to be 27.4 (95% CI, 21.4-33.4) per 1000 population in 2012, 36.0 (95% CI, 28.6-43.5) in 2013, and 42.4 (95% CI, 34.9-49.9) in 2014. The most common cause of fracture was low-energy injuries, followed by traffic accidents. For all age groups, sleeping less than 7 h was a risk factor for traumatic fractures. Alcohol consumption and previous fracture history were identified as risk factors for adults aged 15 years and over. Cigarette smoking was found to be a risk factor for males aged 15-64 years old. For individuals aged 15-64 years old, underweight incurred a risk effect for males and overweight for females. Alcohol consumption, sleeping less than 7 h per day, living in the central and eastern regions, a body mass index less of than 18.5, and having a previous fracture history were identified as strong risk factors for fragility fractures. CONCLUSION The national incidence, distribution, and injury mechanisms for traumatic fractures were revealed in the CNFS. Risk factors were identified for various groups of individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various education interventions were developed for preventing or managing OP, but the effects of those interventions on older adults were inconclusive. PURPOSE This study evaluated the effectiveness of educational interventions in preventing osteoporosis in older adults. A literature search was performed in MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane Library, and CBM (China BioMed Database) from the initial date of each database to Oct 2016. DATA EXTRACTION Two investigators independently extracted essential data from qualified studies concerning the settings, population, interventions, follow-ups, and outcomes of interest, namely effects of bone mineral density tests, changes in behavior, knowledge increase, self-efficacy, medication adherence (calcium and vitamin D), and quality of life, respectively. DATA SYNTHESIS A total of 17 studies met the inclusion criteria and therefore were included in the current study. The overall quality of the included studies was moderate. We were unable to carry out a meta-analysis due to the heterogeneity of these studies. We fond that compared with control groups, patients' knowledge of osteoporosis increased significantly (p < .05) through all five interventions, which included PowerPoint presentations and discussion, class-based educational programs, osteoporosis self-management courses, revised health belief model and classes, computerized support programs and brush-up courses. LIMITATION Studies included in the present study were all conducted in Western countries and only descriptive methods were applied in synthesis due to heterogeneity in interventions and outcomes. CONCLUSION Education interventions were effective in preventing osteoporosis in older adults. Future research should focus on approaching this issue quantitatively (i.e., through meta-analysis).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a hepatitis E (HE) vaccine using an accelerated vaccination schedule (vaccine doses at 0, 7 and 21 days). METHODS A total of 126 participants aged ≥18 years were randomly assigned to receive the hepatitis E virus vaccine in either the accelerated group (0, 7 and 21 days) or the routine group (0, 1 and 6 months). Serology samples were obtained at 0, 21, 28 and 51 days, and 7 months in the accelerated group, or 0, 1, 2 and 7 months in the routine group after the first vaccine injection. Adverse events (AEs) reported during the whole study were analysed. RESULTS A total of 126 participants were randomized, 63 for each group. Sixty-two participants in the accelerated group and 63 in the routine group received at least one dose of vaccine; 57 and 63 participants received all three doses and were included in per-protocol set, respectively. In the per-protocol population, at 1 month after the last dose (accelerated group at 51 days versus routine group at 7 months), the seropositive rates were both 100% (57/57 and 63/63, respectively), and the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) were 8.51 WHO units/mL (95% CI 6.73-10.76) in the accelerated group and 9.67 WHO units/mL (95% CI 7.67-12.20) in the routine group. The ratio of the accelerated group GMC to the routine group GMC was 0.88 (95% CI 0.61-2.17, lower limit of 95% CI > 0.5), indicating that the accelerated vaccination schedule was non-inferior to the routine one. The overall incidence rates of solicited AEs in the accelerated and routine groups were 32.26% (20/62) and 30.16% (19/63), respectively (p 0.800). Most AEs were moderate. CONCLUSIONS An accelerated schedule is safe and provides protective antibodies in a shorter time compared with the routine schedule. The accelerated schedule should be recommended to adults who are travelling on short notice to an HE-endemic area or during an HE outbreak (Clinical Trial Registration. NCT03168412).

Abstract
Combination therapy with parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogs and antiresorptive agents may be more effective than monotherapy for the treatment of osteoporosis. This study aimed to estimate the effectiveness and safety of this combination therapy for osteoporosis. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception to May 1, 2018, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a duration of at least 6 months on adults with osteoporosis treated with combination therapy versus monotherapy. Outcomes included fractures, bone mineral density (BMD) changes, and adverse events. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effect model, to estimate risk ratios (RRs) for fractures, and mean differences (MDs) for BMD changes. A total of 19 RCTs and 2177 patients were included. Compared with monotherapy, combination therapy had an advantage of 36% (RR, 0.64; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.42-0.98) regarding fracture risk reduction. It also appears to improve lumbar spine BMD by 4.06% (95%CI = 2.60-5.53) and total hip BMD by 1.89% (95%CI = 1.25-2.53). No RCT reported an increased risk of serious adverse events. Among patients with osteoporosis, combination therapy was superior to monotherapy regarding improvement of the lumbar spine and total hip BMD, without risk of serious adverse events. Combination therapy also had an advantage over monotherapy on fracture risk reduction. However, owing to the limited sample size, additional larger studies are required to confirm this benefit.

Abstract
We present a multichannel continuous-wave (CW) fiber cavity ringdown (FCRD) gas sensing method based on frequency-shifted interferometry (FSI). This scheme detects gas concentration by measuring the intensity decay rates of continuous light from different ringdown cavities in the spatial domain, unlike conventional FCRD techniques, which measure the decay rates of pulse light in the time domain. This method shares one CW light source, one slow detector, and one slow data collector. In order to illustrate the theory, acetylene gas concentration measurement in a two-channel FSI-FCRD system was experimentally conducted in the range of 0%-1%. A linear relation was established between concentration and absorption loss, which is proportional to the intensity decay rate, and the measurement resolutions of 3.871%/dB and 3.658%/dB were achieved, respectively. The results reveal that the proposed system has the advantages of low cost, high sensitivity, high precision, and good stability in multichannel gas detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a considerable amount of literature on the potential relationship between human leukocyte antigen-G 14-bp Ins/Del polymorphism and virus infection; however, results from these studies were inconclusive. OBJECTIVES A meta-analysis was carried out to determine whether the 14-bp Ins/Del polymorphism is a susceptible factor for virus infection. METHODS Data were extracted from PubMed and Web of Science databases, and included 10 case-control studies (1835 patients and 2357 controls). RESULTS A total of 177 records from 10 studies were retrieved. Overall, no significant correlation was found between HLA-G 14-bp Ins/Del polymorphism and total viruses under all genetic models (dominant model: OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.68-1.29; recessive model: OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.84-1.48; deletion/deletion (DD) vs insertion/insertion (II): OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.71-1.49; deletion (D) vs insertion (I): OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.81-1.25). However, further subgroup analyses by virus type and ethnicity revealed that HLA-G 14-bp Ins/Del polymorphism was significantly associated with HTLV-1 infection in mixed population under the dominant model. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that HLA-G 14-bp Ins/Del polymorphism may not have any effect on susceptibility to viruses.

Abstract
Resting-state fMRI was first described by Biswal et al in 1995 and has since then been widely used in both healthy subjects and patients with various neurologic, neurosurgical, and psychiatric disorders. As opposed to paradigm- or task-based functional MR imaging, resting-state fMRI does not require subjects to perform any specific task. The low-frequency oscillations of the resting-state fMRI signal have been shown to relate to the spontaneous neural activity. There are many ways to analyze resting-state fMRI data. In this review article, we will briefly describe a few of these and highlight the advantages and limitations of each. This description is to facilitate the adoption and use of resting-state fMRI in the clinical setting, helping neuroradiologists become familiar with these techniques and applying them for the care of patients with neurologic and psychiatric diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study aims to detect whether there remains valuable prognostic information in fluctuation of red cell distribution width (RDW) in hip fracture patients. Results show that this readily available parameter may provide a more effective strategy for assessment of mortality risk, therefore providing a reference for clinical planning and decision-making. INTRODUCTION Prognostic values have been found in the fluctuation of some hematologic parameters. The red cell distribution width (RDW) routinely reported with all complete blood cell counts (CBC) has proven to be associated with poor outcomes in various diseases. However, whether the fluctuation in RDW is predictive of long-term mortality in hip fracture patients treated with surgery remains unknown. METHODS One thousand three hundred thirty hip fracture patients who underwent surgery from January 1, 2000 to November 18, 2012 were recruited in this prospective cohort study. Fluctuation in the RDW between admission and discharge was measured, and a Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis and multivariable Cox regression model were applied to evaluate the relationship between this fluctuation and mortality. Risk factors for a larger fluctuation were detected by using Logistic regression analyses. RESULTS In addition to the admission RDW, a high RDW level at the time of discharge was also associated with an increased risk of death, while no significant difference was found in the postoperative RDW. Fluctuation in the RDW between admission and discharge was an independent risk predictor for 2-year mortality (HR 1.45 95%CI 1.06-2.00, p = 0.022). Factors affecting the change in the RDW between admission and discharge included both the demographic characteristics of the patients and clinical interventions. CONCLUSION Hip fracture patients who experience a greater fluctuation in RDW during the hospital course are at a heightened risk for 2-year all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Controversy has arisen in regarding the association between serum uric acid (UA) and fracture risk. Therefore, we conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis by pooling estimate of five prospective studies (29,110 participants). Results showed that an increased serum UA level is associated with a lower risk of fracture. Numerous studies have demonstrated that high serum UA is a relevant risk factor for a wide variety of diseases, whereas new understanding in serum uric acid follows recent reports demonstrating a protective role of UA in health status. However, the association between serum UA and fracture remains controversial. Therefore, we conduct a systemic review and meta-analysis to determine whether elevated UA level is a protective factor for fracture among prospective studies. We searched for studies published before May 6, 2016, using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, without any language restriction. The inclusion criteria were published studies investigating the association between UA and fractures. Two authors independently screened the retrieved articles in accordance to the predefined inclusion criteria. We pooled the study-specific relative risk estimates using a random-effect model for comparison of persons whose UA levels were in the top tertile with those in the bottom tertile. Factors that may predict these associations were evaluated in subgroup analysis and meta-regression. The five included prospective studies included 29,110 participants. In random-effect models that included all five included studies, the summary hazard ratios (HRs) (top vs bottom tertiles) were 079 (95% CI, 0.69 to 0.89), without evidence of heterogeneity (P for heterogeneity = 0.458; I 2 = 0%). Similar results were shown when pooling estimate of three higher-quality studies (HR 0.80 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.93). The association between UA and fracture remained in sensitivity and subgroup analyses. An increased serum UA level is shown to be associated with a lower risk of fracture, albeit additional large, high-quality prospective studies or a meta-analysis of individual data are still needed to verify the association.

Abstract
PurposeTo assess the vision-related quality of life and self-reported driving performance of patients with dry eye disease (DED).Patients and methodsThe study was performed in the eye centre of Peking University Third Hospital, China. In total, 87 dry eye patients and 42 controls were enroled, including 49 patients without any treatment (group A), 38 patients treated with artificial tears (group B) and 42 controls without DED (group C). The participants had no eye disease other than DED. Scores of a vision-related quality-of-life questionnaire (Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)), a daily life-related visual function questionnaire and a questionnaire about performance during driving were collected. Data were compared among the groups and analysed.ResultsSignificant differences in all clinical characteristics and OSDI scores were found between DED patients and normal controls (P<0.05). While subjects in group A felt more uncomfortable than those in group B, the functional limitations related to dry eye were significant in all DED patients, especially for daily work and using a computer. DED was correlated with unsafe driving habits and performance, which may increase the risk of dangerous driving (P<0.01). For patients with DED, the rate of accidents and near-accidents was 10.33%, and the rate of missed targets totalled 32.17%.ConclusionsDED can lead to many inconveniences in daily life, including driving. The frequencies of unsafe driving habits and performance were increased in patients with DED.

Abstract
The recent realization of memristors, nanodevices exhibiting non-volatile resistive switching, has sparked tremendous interest for applications in fields such as nonvolatile memories. Here we report unipolar resistive switching in Pt/MgO/Ta/Ru structures, with an oxide barrier thickness of only 15 nm. No electroforming process was required to achieve resistive switching and an ohmic conduction mechanism is associated with the ON state. We observed an inverse dependence of the ON state resistance on the SET current compliance and average values of 1.61 V and 1.38 V for the SET and RESET voltages, respectively. We show the stability of the switching for over 40 cycles and a clear separation of the ON (10¹ Ω) and OFF (10² Ω) states during at least 10⁴ s.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report thigh muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests of four Chinese patients with dystrophinopathy with edema changes in adductor longus muscles that mimics adductor enthesopathy. METHODS Four boys, who were from four unrelated families and aged from 5 to 11 years, were investigated because of the clinical manifestations including myalgia or muscle weakness or the incidental findings of elevated serum creatine kinase levels, and were diagnosed with dystrophinopathy by gene test of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Their creatine kinase levels were increased from 4 087 IU/L to 32 700 IU/L (Normal range: 75-175 IU/L). The muscle biopsy of three patients all demonstrated a dystrophic pattern including necrosis, regeneration, hypertrophy, atrophy and connective tissue proliferation, with different proportions of dystrophin-negative muscle fibers. The gene test of DMD showed an out-frame deletion of exons in three of the four patients, involving either exons 45 or exons 49-52 deletion or exon 62 duplication, and c.2665 C>T with nonsense mutation in the other one. Muscle MRI tests of the bilateral thighs were performed with T1 weighed sequence and slow tau inversion recovery sequence. The degree of fatty infiltration changes was scored. RESULTS MRI of the thigh muscles showed mild to severe fatty infiltration changes in T1 weighed sequence with the total scores from 2 to 13.The most severe fatty infiltration changes were in the long head of biceps femoris and adductor magnus. Obvious hyperintensities appeared mainly in the adductor longus muscles on slow tau inversion recovery (STIR) images in all the patients without any abnormal signals in the attachment of the ligament, indicating edema changes of the adductor longus muscles which mimiced adductor enthesopathy. Two of the four patients presented with edema changes in the bilateral adductor longus muscles, while the other two were with only unilateral changes. Furthermore, other thigh muscles, including adductor magnus, semitendinosus, sartorius and rectus femoris muscles, could also have mild edema changes in two of the four patients. CONCLUSION Dystrophinopathy can manifest as edema changes in the adductor longus muscles in thigh muscle MRI tests, which is a typical lesion in adductor enthesopathy. The adductor longus muscles in the dystrophinopathy patients may be easy to be impaired due to traction injury during sports.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this study, we attempt to determine the clinical characteristic and risk factors of postoperative pneumonia (POP) after hip fracture surgery in a well-defined hip fracture cohort. We find that intrinsic factors as well as major clinical interventions were all important risk factors of POP. INTRODUCTION Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is one of the major complications following hip fractures surgery. However, the risk factors of POP are not well studied in hip fracture cohorts. We attempt to determine the clinical characteristic and risk factors of POP after hip fracture surgery in a well-defined hip fracture cohort. METHODS Datasets from a prospective hip fracture cohort study with a 2-year follow-up period, from 2000 to 2011, were reanalyzed for characteristics of POP. Multivariate Cox proportional regression was used to evaluate the association between the incidence of POP and all-cause mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was used to screen for potential risk factors of POP by analyzing demographic factors, comorbidities, major clinical interventions, and hematological parameters. RESULTS In 1429 patients who underwent hip surgery, the incidence of POP was 4.9 % (n = 70). All-cause mortality of patients with POP was significantly higher than that of patients without POP at 30 days (hazard ratio (HR) 3.05, 95 % confidence intervals (CI) 1.88-4.94), 1 year (HR 1.87, 95 % CI 1.41-2.48), and 2 years (HR 1.57, 95 % CI 1.23-1.99) postoperatively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that intrinsic factors (advanced age, anemia, diabetes, prior stroke, number of comorbidities, ASA score ≥III, and some laboratory biomarkers) as well as major clinical interventions were all significant risk factors for POP. CONCLUSION Intrinsic factors and major clinical interventions were all important risk factors of POP in patients after hip fracture surgery. Targeted preventive measures to mitigate the above risk factors may help in reducing the incidence of POP.

Abstract
AIM To assess the extent of sigmoid sinus dehiscence (SSD) on high-resolution computed tomography venography (HRCTV) or high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images in pulsatile tinnitus (PT) and non-PT groups to determine whether there is an association between the extent of SSD and occurrence of PT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight SSD patients with ipsilateral PT and 28 age- and gender-matched SSD patients without PT who underwent HRCTV or HRCT were enrolled in this study and categorised into two groups: "PT group" and "non-PT group". The extent of SSD in each group was calculated and compared. RESULTS The largest transverse diameter and largest vertical diameter of SSD in the PT group were 6.21±1.7 and 6.15±2.19 mm, respectively. The largest transverse diameter and largest vertical diameter of SSD in the non-PT group were 3.06±1.38 and 2.51±1.03 mm, respectively. The extent of SSD was statistically different between the two groups (p<0.001; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS As a cause of PT, SSD can also occur in individuals without PT symptoms. Preliminary findings suggest that there may be a potential correlation between the extent of SSD and an occurrence of PT.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW) and a combination of RDW and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score for long-term hip fracture mortality remains unknown. Our data showed that both RDW and ASA were independent risk predictors. A combination of these two parameters may provide a more powerful strategy for the prediction of hip fracture mortality. INTRODUCTION Red cell distribution width (RDW) has recently been suggested as an independent predictor of prognosis in a variety of disorders. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) system has been widely used to stratify patients for outcome evaluations. However, the prognostic value of RDW and a combination of RDW and the ASA score for long-term hip fracture mortality has yet to be studied. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 1402 subjects from 2000 to 2011 with a follow-up study over a 2 year period. Cox proportional hazards models with a bootstrap validation were used to evaluate associations of RDW, ASA, and a combination of both with long-term mortality. The global fit and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for model discrimination were further analyzed. RESULTS Both RDW and ASA exhibited as independent risk predictors of 2-year mortality. The population with elevation of either RDW or ASA increased the risk of mortality (bootstrap validated hazard ratio (HR) 1.971 95 % confidence interval (CI) [1.336-3.005] p < 0.01) while those with an increase in both assessments (bootstrap validated HR 2.667 95 % CI [1.526-4.515] p < 0.01) were at the highest risk for mortality. The addition of the combination of ASA and RDW improved the discrimination power of risk prediction models (AUC increased from 0.700 to 0.723, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Both RDW and ASA exhibited as independent risk predictors of 2-year hip fracture mortality. The combination of these two readily available parameters may provide a more powerful and effective strategy for the assessment of all-cause mortality in hip fracture patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the cut-off value of minimal residual disease (MRD) in predicting the efficacy of CCLG-ALL-2008 or CCLG-2008 treatment protocol on pediatric B-precursor ALL (BP-ALL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Three hundred and seventy-nine Chinese pediatric BP-ALL were enrolled in this study between Dec 2008 and Sep 2013 in two stratified cohorts. One hundred and fifty-three patients enrolled between Dec 2008 and Oct 2010 as the first cohort, and 196 patients enrolled from Nov 2010 to Sep 2013 as the second cohort. Clinical and biological characteristics and 5 years EFS, RFS, and OS were analyzed. RESULTS Patients with E2A-PBX1 showed a favorable treatment response with a lower minimal residual disease (MRD) level (< 10-4) at the time point 1 (TP1, p = 0.039) and the highest proportion of the 5-year EFS, RFS, and OS. A high level of MRD was associated with high WBC counts, increased age, BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, MLL rearrangements and adverse karyotypes. In comparison with the first cohort, the second cohort with the MRD assay incorporated prospectively, the standard risk (SR) and the intermediate risk (IR) patients showed a better RFS, EFS, and OS while the high-risk (HR) patients displayed worse RFS, EFS, and OS than those of the first cohort, respectively. Patients with MRD level at either 10-4 or 10-3 showed a similar OS at TP1 or TP2, and patients with MRD level above 10-2 had the worst OS. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that the levels of MRD to be an adequate guide in risk-adapted treatment under the CCLG-ALL-2008 protocol and can be adapted to the future development of advanced clinical protocols.

Abstract
Currently, Luminex technology based on the PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) probe method has been widely used for HLA genotyping in the immunogenetics laboratories. Here, we reported a case with HLA-B allele dropout by Luminex technology. The initial HLA-B result of the Luminex method with a commercial agent kit was inconclusive, and then, the result of PCR-SBT technology indicated the dropout as a HLA-B*58 allele. Subsequently, the full-length sequence of HLA-B allele was determined by TOPO-TA cloning, and a novel allele B*58:01:01:02 was identified in the individual. Compared with HLA-B*58:01:01:01, the novel allele showed some nucleotides difference at 509 C>T, 521 T>G and CCC insertion in position 503 of intron 2. According to the full-length sequence, the new mutations of intron 2 were contributed to HLA-B locus allele dropout in the sample. Our results indicated multiplatform should be used to improve the HLA typing accuracy when a conclusive HLA genotype cannot be determined.

Abstract
The distribution of human leucocyte antigen (HLA) allele and haplotype is varied among different ethnic populations. In this study, HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 allele and haplotype frequencies were determined in 8333 volunteer bone marrow donors of Zhejiang Han population using the polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing. A total of 52 HLA-A, 96 HLA-B and 61 HLA-DRB1 alleles were found. Of these, the top three frequent alleles in HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 loci, respectively, were A*11:01 (24.53%), A*24:02 (17.35%), A*02:01 (11.58%); B*40:01 (15.67%), B*46:01 (11.87%), B*58:01 (9.05%); DRB1*09:01 (17.54%),DRB1*12:02 (9.64%) and DRB1*08:03 (8.65%). A total of 171 A-B-DRB1 haplotypes with a frequency of >0.1% were presented and the five most common haplotypes were A*33:03-B*58:01- DRB1*03:01, A*02:07-B*46:01-DRB1*09:01, A*30:01-B*13:02-DRB1*07:01, A*33:03-B*58:01-RB1*13:02 and A*11:01-B*15:02-DRB1*12:02. The information will be useful for selecting unrelated bone marrow donors and for anthropology studies and pharmacogenomics analysis.

Abstract
We established a necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) rat model and explored the role of bifidobacteria in the intestines of the rats and its regulation on intestinal Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Seventy-five newborn Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (15 rats/group): group A, artificial feeding group (formula-fed); group B, NEC model (LPS + formula-fed); group C, bifidobacterium (LPS + formula-fed + bifidobacterium microcapsules, intragastric administration); group D, artificial feeding + bifidobacterium (formula-fed + bifidobacterium microcapsules gavage); group E, rat breast-feeding group (rat breast-feeding). After 3 days of feeding, rats were placed in incubators, fasted for 12 h, and killed by decapitation. The ileocecal proximal segment ileum was fixed and sliced; pathological examination was conducted, and TLR2, TLR4, and nuclear factor-kB p65 protein expression in the intestinal tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. There was a statistically significant difference in pathological scores between groups C and B (H = 21.789, P = 0.000), and the former was lower than the latter. TLR2, TLR4, and nuclear factor-kB p65 expression in intestinal tissue was determined in groups A-E. There were statistically significant differences between groups C and B (P = 0.001; P = 0.000; P = 0.000). Bifidobacteria had a protective effect on the intestines of newborn rats with NEC, which showed reduced NEC and intestinal damage severity. This observation may be related to the reduced levels of TLR2, TLR4, and nuclear factor-kB P65 observed during the inflammatory response.

Abstract
AIM To examine the association between superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) and pulsatile tinnitus (PT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two SSCD groups included 408 unilateral persistent PT patients, and 511 controls undergoing head and neck dual-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography (DP-CECT) for reasons other than PT. The prevalence of type I (no the superior petrosal sinus running through the dehiscence) and type II (superior semicircular canal dehiscence in relation to the superior petrosal sinus) SSCD was analysed using chi-square test. RESULTS SSCD was identified in 5.1% (21/408) of PT ears, significantly different from 2% (8/408) of non-PT ears and 0.7% (7/1022) of controls. There was no significant difference in SSCD prevalence between non-PT ears in the PT group and controls. In the PT group, 15/21 ears were type II SSCD; 6/21 ears were type I. Fifteen combined non-PT and control ears with SSCD included two type II and 13 type I SSCD. The prevalence of type II SSCD in PT ears was significantly higher than that of non-PT ears in both groups, and the prevalence of type I SSCD in PT ears was similar to that of non-PT ears in both groups. CONCLUSION Compared with type I SSCD, there may be a causal relationship between type II SSCD and PT.

Abstract
The stability and exchange interaction mechanism of a doped Zn12O12 cluster with Mn and C atoms were investigated by first-principles calculations. For the Mn-doped Zn12O12 cluster, it is identified that a superexchange interaction deriving the hybridization between the Mn 3d(2/x)-2/y and O 2p(xy) orbitals dominates the Mn(↑)-Mn(↓) antiferromagnetic coupling, although a direct exchange interaction deriving the Mn-Mn bonding is also found. In order to turn the Mn spin state in the Mn-doped Zn12O12 cluster, C doping is undertaken to change the magnetic interactions of these impurities. It is proved that the C incorporation into the Mn-doped Zn12O12 cluster destroys the short-ranged antiferromagnetic coupling, where multiple exchange interactions take over, including the direct exchange interaction and the kinetic p-d exchange interaction partially due to the geometric distortion and surface effect with dangling bonds (sp(2)-like hybrids). It is concluded that the kinetic p-d exchange interaction plays a dominant role in Mn/C-doped Zn12O12 clusters.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this study, we propose a novel method for accurate trabeculae extraction from human femoral heads using 3D-printing techniques and compare spatial deviation errors between this novel method and the conventional method. We found that spatial deviation errors, which indicate inaccuracy and unreliability, were significantly higher with the conventional method. INTRODUCTION Assessment of structural and mechanical properties of local bone is important in the study of pathological changes associated with musculoskeletal degenerative diseases. However, the widely used visual extraction method (VIS) for trabecular columns showed large deviations from veridicality, referred to as spatial deviation errors (SDE). Here, we propose a novel method for accurately locating and trephining trabeculae using a 3D-printed (3DP) positioning device and also evaluate the SDE of the VIS. METHODS Twenty femoral heads were obtained from osteoporotic patients, and the trabecular columns were extracted from the principal compressive trabeculae by VIS (n = 10) or the 3DP (n = 10) method. Morphological, structural, and mechanical properties were compared between both groups along with the recorded errors in spatial deviation. RESULTS Compared with the 3DP group, the average angle of central axis deflection in the VIS group was significantly greater; SDE in the VIS group was 26.1, 8.8, 4.1, 9.8, 7.2, 8.1, and 10.1 % greater for bone mineral density, bone volume/tissue volume ratio, trabecular thickness, trabecular number, Young's modulus, yield strength, and ultimate strength. CONCLUSION In this study, a high degree of SDE was demonstrated in the VIS, which indicates that the conventional technique is unreliable. Additionally, accurate sample fabrication and credible quantitative analysis of local trabeculae among individuals can be achieved with the aid of computed tomography and the 3DP device, thus providing a more objective method for researching musculoskeletal degenerative diseases and possibly a better clinical understanding of these disorders.

Abstract
KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 are important inhibitory receptors that recognize a subset of HLA-C allelic products carrying Ser77 and Asn80. In this study, we have determined KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 diversity in the Chinese Han population by a PCR sequence-based typing. Based on sequencing, the coding regions of 166 Chinese Han individuals, seven new polymorphic sites (238G>A, 405G>A, 476A>G, 550G>A, 608G>A, 789T>C, 947T>C) were found. KIR2DL2*00301, *00101, KIR2DL3*00101,*00201,*013, *015 and ten new KIR2DL3 variants (KIR2DL3*00105, 00106, 00107, 00108, 019, 020, 021, 022, 023 and 024) were identified, of which KIR2DL3*00101 was the most frequent allele. Compared with the sequences of KIR2DL3*00101, all sequences of 2DL3*00105, 2DL3*00106, 2DL3*00107 and 2DL3*00108 had one nucleotide substitution(789T>C, 261C>T, 489G>A and 405G>A),but none resulted in amino acid change. An A>G substitution was observed in nucleotide position 476 in 2DL3*019, 608 G>A in 2DL3*020, 824T>C in 2DL3*021 and 238 G>A in 2DL3*023. In addition, 2DL3*022 probably arose from 2DL3*00201 with a nucleotide substitution G>A at 550. There were more HLA-C1 positive individuals than HLA-C2. In conclusion, the data of allelic polymorphism for KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 were obtained in the Chinese Han population and ten novel KIR2DL3 alleles were identified.

Abstract
The role of serum CA125 and CEA in the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial, especially in early stage patients, which need further clarification. Thus, in this study we carried out a large scale retrospective analysis of the prognostic value of CA125 and CEA in 645 patients with NSCLC, to explore their predictive value in the NSCLC. Patients who underwent curative surgical resection for NSCLC were from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital of China from 2006 to 2011. Microparticle enzyme immunoassay was used to measure preoperative serum CA125 and CEA. Univariate analyses and a multivariable proportional hazard Cox regression model were applied to assess the prognostic significance of the different covariates. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival curve. Both CA125 and CEA were correlated with stage, but also CA125 was different by grade, and CEA was related to histology. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with elevated CA125 or CEA had unfavorable disease progression-free and overall survival time compared to those with normal CA125 or CEA. Furthermore, multivariate Cox analysis revealed that elevated CA125 had significantly higher risk for relapse (HR, 1.76; p=0.001) and death (HR, 1.80; p<0.001), but not for elevated CEA as relapse (HR, 1.06; p=0.736) and death (HR, 1.25; p= 0.119) both were statistically non significant. This study showed that both CA125 and CEA play important roles in disease progression while only CA125 as an independent predictive marker for prognosis in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in bispectral index (BIS) to determine the controllability and safety of intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil in different-aged children. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty cases of ASA levels I or II were divided into four groups (A group, ≤ three months old; B group, three months to two years old; C group, two years to six years old; and D group, six years to 12 years old) with 10 cases in each group. Propofol and remifentanil were used in anesthesia induction and maintenance. Hemodynamic changes, BIS values, and sedation scores during T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7, as well as spontaneous breathing recovery and extubation times, were recorded. RESULTS Compared with that at T1, the BIS values at T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 decreased (p < 0.01). SBP, DBP, and HR also decreased (p < 0.01). Compared with the other groups, the extubation time of A group increased (p < 0.01). At T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7, the BIS values of A group were all less than those of C group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Anesthesia is stable and safe when the same unit doses of propofol and remifentanil are administered to different-aged children. In infants under three months, the BIS values were lower, with prolonged palinesthesia time.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to investigate the correlation of carotid arterial sclerosis and left ventricular diastolic function in hyperthyroidism. METHODS A total of 70 patients with newly-diagnosed hyperthyroidism, including 32 patients clinically cured or improved after I131 therapy, were compared with 74 healthy cases in the control group. Bilateral carotid ultrasound and echocardiography were performed in all subjects. The carotid sclerosis index B, compliance coefficient CC, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and left ventricular diastolic function parameters (mitral valve diastolic peak velocity ratio E/A, mitral annulus tissue Doppler diastolic peak velocity ratio e/a and E/e) were obtained. RESULTS The B, CC, PWV and E/e exhibited correlation. Pre-treatment CC was negatively correlated with E/e (r=-0.325, P<0.01), whereas B and PWV were positively correlated with E/e (r=0.270 and 0.297, P < 0.05). Post-treatment CC was negatively correlated with E/e (r=-0.462, P<0.01), whereas B and PWV were positively correlated with E/e (r=0.513 and 0.479, P<0.01). CONCLUSION Carotid artery function and left ventricular diastolic function of hyperthyroid patients were damaged before the treatment and recovered after the treatment. Thus, a correlation existed between them. The early detection of carotid artery function could help the early detection of cardiovascular disease in the hyperthyroid patients.

Abstract
Cholesterol oxidase (COD), an enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of cholesterol, has been applied to track the distribution of membrane cholesterol. Little investigations about the effect of COD on tumor cells have been performed. In the present study, we provided evidence that COD from Bordetella species (COD-B), induced apoptosis of lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. COD-B treatment inhibited Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in dose- and time-dependent manner, which was not reversed and was even aggravated by cholesterol addition. Further investigation indicated that COD-B treatment promoted the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and that cholesterol addition further elevated ROS levels. Moreover, COD-B treatment resulted in JNK and p38 phosphorylation, downregulation of Bcl-2, upregulation of Bax, activated caspase-3 and cytochrome C release, which likely responded to freshly produced hydrogen peroxide that accompanied cholesterol oxidation. Catalase pretreatment could only partially prevent COD-B-induced events, suggesting that catalase inhibited H2O2-induced signal transduction but had little effect on signal pathways involved in cholesterol depletion. Our results demonstrated that COD-B led to irreversible cell apoptosis by decreasing cholesterol content and increasing ROS level. In addition, COD-B may be a promising candidate for a novel anti-tumor therapy.
