Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited studies have examined the benefits of early arthroplasty within 48 h from admission to surgery for femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Using the national inpatient database, the authors aimed to investigate the trends in early arthroplasty within 48 h for FNFs in China and to assess its effect on in-hospital complications and 30-day readmission patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients receiving primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA) for FNFs in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System between 2013 and 2019 were included. After adjusting for potential confounders with propensity score matching, a logistic regression model was performed to compare the differences in in-hospital complications [i.e. in-hospital death, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), wound infection, and blood transfusion], rates and causes of 30-day readmission between early and delayed arthroplasty. RESULTS During the study period, the rate of early THA increased from 18.0 to 19.9%, and the rate of early HA increased from 14.7 to 18.4% ( P <0.001). After matching, 11 731 pairs receiving THA and 13 568 pairs receiving HA were included. Compared with delayed THA, early THA was associated with a lower risk of pulmonary embolism [odds ratio (OR) 0.51, 95% CI: 0.30-0.88], DVT (OR 0.59, 95% CI: 0.50-0.70), blood transfusion (OR 0.62, 95% CI: 0.55-0.70), 30-day readmission (OR 0.82, 95% CI: 0.70-0.95), and venous thromboembolism-related readmission (OR 0.50, 95% CI: 0.34-0.74). Similarly, early HA was associated with a lower risk of DVT (OR 0.70, 95% CI: 0.61-0.80) and blood transfusion (OR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.68-0.81) than delayed HA. CONCLUSION Despite a slight increase, the rate of early arthroplasty remained at a low level in China. Given that early arthroplasty can significantly improve prognosis, more efforts are needed to optimize the procedure and shorten the time to surgery.

Abstract
During September and October 2021, a substantial number of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests in England processed at a single laboratory were incorrectly reported as negative. We estimate the number of false negative test results issued and investigate the epidemiological impact of this incident. We estimate the number of COVID-19 cases that would have been reported had the sensitivity of the laboratory test procedure not dropped for the period 2 September to 12 October. In addition, by making comparisons between the most affected local areas and comparator populations, we estimate the number of additional infections, cases, hospitalisations and deaths that could have occurred as a result of increased transmission due to false negative test results.We estimate that around 39,000 tests may have been false negatives during this period and, as a direct result of this incident, the most affected areas in the South-West of England could have experienced between 6000 and 34,000 additional reportable cases, with a central estimate of around 24,000 additional reportable cases. Using modelled relationships between key variables, we estimate that this central estimate could have translated to approximately 55,000 additional infections.Each false negative likely led to around 1.5 additional infections. The incident is likely to have had a measurable impact on cases and infections in the affected areas in the South-West of England. IMPACT STATEMENT: These results indicate the significant negative impact of incorrect testing on COVID outcomes; and make a substantial contribution to understanding the impact of testing systems and the need to ensure high accuracy in testing and reporting of results.

Abstract
This study explores the effects and possible mechanisms of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (NRF2) on ovarian granulosa cells, providing a scientific basis to prevent premature ovarian failure. An ovarian cell injury model was constructed by treating human ovarian granulosa cell (KGN cell) with 4-Vinylcyclohexene dioxide (VCD). Firstly, KGN cells were treated with different concentrations of VCD, and cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect ovarian cell proliferation. After determining IC50 by CCK8, the levels of estradiol and progesterone in the cell supernatant were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay kit was used to detect the content of ROS in ovarian cells, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression level of NRF2, and Western blot was used to detect the protein expression level of NRF2. Further, NRF2 silence (siNRF2) and overexpression (NRF2-OE) cell models were constructed through lentivirus transfection, and the effects of regulating NRF2 on VCD treated cell models were investigated by detecting hormone levels, oxidative stress indicators (ROS, SOD, GSH-Px), and autophagy (LC3B level). The results showed that VCD intervention inhibited the proliferation of ovarian granulosa cells in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner (F>100, P<0.05), with an IC50 of 1.2 mmol/L at 24 hours. After VCD treatment, the level of estradiol in the cell supernatant decreased from (56.32±10.18) ng/ml to (24.59±8.75) ng/ml (t=5.78, P<0.05). Progesterone decreased from (50.25±7.03) ng/ml to (25.13±6.67) ng/ml (t=6.54, P<0.05). After VCD treatment, the SOD of cells decreased from (44.47±7.71) ng/ml to (30.92±4.97) ng/ml (t=3.61, P<0.05). GSH-Px decreased from (68.51±10.17) ng/ml to (35.19±6.59) ng/ml (t=5.73, P<0.05). Simultaneously accompanied by an increase in autophagy and a decrease in NRF2. This study successfully constructed KGN cell models that silenced NRF2 and overexpressed NRF2. Subsequently, this study treated each group of cells with VCD and found that the cell proliferation activity of the siNRF2 group was significantly reduced (t=8.37, P<0.05), while NRF2-OE could reverse the cell activity damage caused by VCD (t=3.37, P<0.05). The siNRF2 group had the lowest level of estradiol (t=5.78, P<0.05), while NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in cellular estradiol levels caused by VCD (t=5.58, P<0.05). The siNRF2 group had the lowest progesterone levels (t=3.02, P<0.05), while NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in cellular progesterone levels caused by VCD (t=2.41, P<0.05). The ROS level in the siNRF2 group was the highest (t=2.86, P<0.05), NRF2-OE could reverse the increase in ROS caused by VCD (t=3.14, P<0.05), the SOD enzyme content in the siNRF2 group was the lowest (t=2.98, P<0.05), and NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in SOD enzyme content caused by VCD (t=4.72, P<0.05). The GSH-Px enzyme content in the siNRF2 group was the lowest (t=3.67, P<0.05), and NRF2-OE could reverse the decrease in antioxidant enzyme content caused by VCD (t=2.71, P<0.05). The LC3B level was highest in the siNRF2 group (t=2.45, P<0.05), and NRF2-OE was able to reverse the LC3B elevation caused by VCD (t=9.64, P<0.05). In conclusion, NRF2 inhibits ROS induced autophagy, thereby playing a role in reducing ovarian granulosa cell damage, which may be a potential target for premature ovarian failure.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of atropine for childhood myopia and further explore the optimal concentration of atropine, so as to provide more reference for clinical application. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov were comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to October 14, 2021. The efficacy outcomes were progression of spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL). The safety outcomes included accommodation amplitude, pupil size and adverse effects. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS Eighteen RCTs involving 3002 eyes were included. The results showed that at 6-36 months of treatment, atropine was effective in slowing the progression of myopia in children. At 12 months, the WMD of SE and AL of low-dose atropine was 0.25 diopters (D) and 0.1 millimeter (mm), moderate-dose atropine was 0.44 D and 0.16mm, high-dose atropine was 1.21 D and 0.82mm, respectively, compared with the control group. Similarly, at 24 months, low-dose atropine was 0.22 D and 0.14mm, moderate-dose atropine was 0.60 D, high-dose atropine was 0.66 D and 0.24mm, respectively. Interestingly, we also found that there was no significant difference in the effects of low-dose atropine on accommodation amplitude and photopic pupil size compared with the control group, and the rate of photophobia, allergy, blurred vision and other side effects was similar between the low-dose atropine group and the control group. In addition, atropine appears to be more effective in myopic children in China than in other countries. CONCLUSIONS Atropine in various concentrations can effectively slow myopia progression in children, and its effect is dose-dependent, while low-dose atropine (0.01% atropine) appears to be safer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data on the resource utilization of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in China. This study aimed to examine the length of stay (LOS) and inpatient charges of TKA in China, and to investigate their determinants. METHODS We included patients undergoing primary TKA in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System in China between 2013 and 2019. LOS and inpatient charges were obtained, and their associated factors were further assessed using multivariable linear regression. RESULTS A total of 184,363 TKAs were included. The LOS decreased from 10.8 days in 2013 to 9.3 days in 2019. The admission-to-surgery interval decreased from 4.6 to 4.2 days. The mean inpatient charges were 61,208.3 Chinese Yuan. Inpatient charges reached a peak in 2016, after which a gradual decrease was observed. Implant and material charges accounted for a dominating percentage, but they exhibited a downward trend, whereas labor-related charges gradually increased. Single marital status, non-osteoarthritis indication, and comorbidity were associated with longer LOS and higher inpatient charges. Female sex and younger age were associated with higher inpatient charges. There were apparent varieties of LOS and inpatient charges among provincial or non-provincial hospitals, hospitals with various TKA volume, or in different geographic regions. CONCLUSIONS The LOS following TKA in China appeared to be long, but it was shortened during the time period of 2013 to 2019. The inpatient charges dominated by implant and material charges exhibited a downward trend. However, there were apparent sociodemographic and hospital-related discrepancies of resource utilization. The observed statistics can lead to more efficient resource utilization of TKA in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rural-urban disparities in postoperative complications and costs among patients undergoing knee arthroplasty (KA) have not been thoroughly explored. This study aimed to determine whether such differences exist in this patient population. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted using data from the national Hospital Quality Monitoring System of China. Hospitalized patients undergoing KA from 2013 to 2019 were enrolled. Patient and hospital characteristics were compared between rural and urban patients, and differences in postoperative complications, readmissions, and hospitalization costs were analyzed using propensity score matching. RESULTS Of the 146 877 KA cases analyzed, 71.4% (104 920) were urban patients and 28.6% (41 957) were rural patients. Rural patients tended to be younger (64.4±7.7 years vs. 68.0±8.0 years; P <0.001) and had fewer comorbidities. In the matched cohort of 36 482 participants per group, rural patients were found to be more likely to experience deep vein thrombosis (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.17-1.46; P <0.001) and require red blood cell (RBC) transfusion (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.31-1.46; P <0.001). However, they had a lower incidence of readmission within 30 days (OR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.59-0.72; P <0.001) and readmission within 90 days (OR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.57-0.66; P <0.001) than their urban counterparts. In addition, rural patients incurred lower hospitalization costs than urban patients (57 396.2 Chinese Yuan vs. 60 844.3 Chinese Yuan; P <0.001). CONCLUSION Rural KA patients had different clinical characteristics compared with urban patients. While they had a higher likelihood of deep vein thrombosis and RBC transfusion following KA than urban patients, they had fewer readmissions and lower hospitalization costs. Targeted clinical management strategies are needed for rural patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Attentions have been paid to the optimal anesthesia for knee arthroplasty (KA). We sought to investigate whether neuraxial anesthesia (NA) is superior to general anesthesia (GA) in terms of perioperative outcomes and resource utilization following KA. METHODS Patients undergoing primary KA registered in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System (HQMS) in China during 2013-2019 were identified. By utilizing a time-stratified propensity score matching, every patient receiving NA was matched by propensity score to a patient receiving GA. Then, we conducted Poisson, logistic, and linear regression to compare NA with GA in terms of perioperative outcomes and resource utilization. RESULTS Of 109,132 included participants, 75,945 (69.59%) underwent KA with GA and 33,187 (30.41%) with NA. After propensity score matching (26,425 participants per group), NA was associated with lower incidence of blood transfusion (OR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.77-0.87; p < 0.0001), 30-day readmission (OR: 0.76, 95% CI 0.68-0.84; p < 0.0001), and 90-day readmission (OR: 0.83, 95% CI 0.77-0.90; p < 0.0001). No statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality, incidence of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and surgical site infection was found. In addition, NA was associated with a 1% decrease in length of stay (95% CI 0-2%; p = 0.0070) and a 3% lower total hospital charge (95% CI 2-4%; p < 0.0001) when compared with GA. CONCLUSION Compared with GA, NA was associated with decreased incidence of blood transfusion, readmission, reduced length of stay, and total hospital charge following KA, suggesting the favorable role of NA for perioperative outcomes and resource utilization in KA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND National epidemiological data in China are absent for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to investigate the burden and characteristics of revision TKA in China. METHODS We reviewed 4,503 revision TKA cases registered in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System in China between 2013 and 2018 using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes. Revision burden was determined by the ratio of the number of revision procedures to the total number of TKA procedures. Demographic characteristics, hospital characteristics, and hospitalization charges were identified. RESULTS The revision TKA cases accounted for 2.4% of all TKA cases. The revision burden showed an increasing trend from 2013 to 2018 (2.3 to 2.5%) (P for trend = 0.034). Gradual increases in revision TKA were observed in patients aged > 60 years. The most common causes for revision TKA were infection (33.0%) and mechanical failure (19.5%). More than 70% of the patients were hospitalized in provincial hospitals. A total of 17.6% patients were hospitalized in a hospital outside the province of their residence. The hospitalization charges continued to increase between 2013 and 2015 and remained roughly stable over the next three years. CONCLUSIONS This study provided epidemiological data for revision TKA in China based on a national database. There was a growing trend of revision burden during the study period. The focalized nature of operations in a few higher volume regions was observed and many patients had to travel to obtain their revision procedure.

Abstract
Background We aimed to: (1) perform a nationwide trend analysis of staggered and simultaneous bilateral knee arthroplasty (KA); (2) investigate patient demographics and hospital characteristics in two groups; and (3) compare the outcomes of two groups with a focus on complications, length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization costs. Methods Utilizing the Hospital Quality Monitoring System, we included patients who underwent bilateral KA during a single hospitalization between 2013 and 2019. Patient demographics and hospital characteristics were compared between two groups. Outcomes were compared between propensity-score matched groups using logistic and linear regression. Results During the study period, 6291 staggered bilateral KA and 6284 simultaneous bilateral KA were performed. From 2013 to 2019, the proportion of staggered bilateral KA increased from 32.74% to 59.08%. Patients who were older, were single, had more comorbidities and had a non-osteoarthritis indication for surgery tended to receive staggered bilateral KA. Compared with 3327 propensity-score matched patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral KA, patients undergoing staggered bilateral KA were associated with a significantly lower incidence of wound infection (odds ratio [OR] = 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07–0.65), and readmission within 30 days (OR = 0.73; 95%CI, 0.54–0.99) and 90 days (OR = 0.70; 95%CI, 0.55–0.89). However, staggered bilateral KA had higher odds of blood transfusion (OR = 1.20; 95%CI, 1.02–1.40) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) (OR = 2.62; 95%CI, 1.82–3.98). Moreover, staggered bilateral KA can lead to higher costs (108,316.21 Chinese yuan [CNY] vs 103,367.60 CNY) and longer LOS (17.29 days vs 12.18 days) than simultaneous bilateral KA. Conclusion Our study indicates that staggered bilateral KA has become more common than simultaneous bilateral KA in China. Compared to simultaneous bilateral KA, staggered bilateral KA was associated with a lower incidence of wound infection and readmission. Staggered bilateral KA may be an alternative for patients who can't tolerate simultaneous surgery. The translational potential of this article: Our study indicates that staggered bilateral KA is a safe and economical option for elderly patients who require bilateral KA but are at high clinical risk. The rising proportion of staggered bilateral KA will be a new trend in bilateral KA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist on readmission following knee arthroplasty (KA) in countries without well-established referral or extended care systems. This study aimed to investigate the incidence, patterns and risk factors for readmission following KA in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this national retrospective cohort study, we reviewed 167,265 primary KAs registered in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System in China between 2013 and 2018. Readmissions after KA within 30 and 90 days were evaluated. The causes for readmission were identified and classified as surgical or medical. The potential risk factors of readmission were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS 4017 (2.4%) patients readmitted within 30 days, and 7258 (4.3%) patients readmitted within 90 days. The readmission rate exhibited a downward trend during the period from 2013 to 2018 (2.7%-2.3% for 30-day readmission; 4.5%-4.2% for 90-day readmission). Surgical causes contributed to 54.3% readmissions within 30 days and 47.3% readmissions within 90 days. Wound infection/complication, joint pain, and thromboembolism were the most frequently reported reasons for surgical readmission. Older age, male sex, single marital status, non-osteoarthritis indication, a high comorbidity index, non-provincial hospitals, low hospital volume, and longer length of stay were associated with an increased risk of readmission. The geographic regions of hospitals contributed greatly to the variety of readmissions. CONCLUSION The readmission rate following KA decreased from 2013 to 2018. Surgery-related causes, especially wound infection/complication and pain, accounted for a large proportion. Both patient and hospital factors were associated with readmissions. Improved primary care and targeted measures are needed to help further prevent readmissions and optimize resource utilization.

Abstract
Background: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of biologic agents targeting three main cytokines, that is, nerve growth factor (NGF), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. Methods: Databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched for randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) of biologic agents from inception to November 15, 2020. The outcomes were the mean change in pain, function scores, and the risk of adverse effects (AEs). Results: Out of the 28 studies with 29 RCTs (8555 individuals) included, biologic agents were superior to placebo in pain relief (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.17–0.38, p < 0.001) and function improvement (SMD = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.18–0.43, p < 0.001). The incidence of any AEs (risk ratio [RR] = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.05–1.14, p < 0.001) and discontinuations due to AEs (RR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.05–1.83, p = 0.021) were higher following treatment with biologic agents while no significant difference was found in serious AEs. Subgroup analyses showed that NGF inhibitors provided superior pain relief (SMD = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.26–0.47, p < 0.001) and function improvement (SMD = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.30–0.51, p < 0.001), whereas IL-1 inhibitors and TNF-α inhibitors did not. Meanwhile, NGF inhibitors increased the incidence of any AEs (RR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.07–1.17, p < 0.001) and discontinuations due to AEs (RR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.07–2.06, p = 0.018). IL-1 inhibitors and TNF-α inhibitors showed no difference in safety compared with placebo. Conclusions: The efficacy and safety of biologic agents vary by mechanism of action. NGF inhibitors can relieve OA-related pain and improve function but involve safety concerns. IL-1 inhibitors and TNF-α inhibitors are relatively safe options but with limited efficacy.

Abstract
Background Adipokines gene polymorphisms are speculated to be associated with the risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA), but evidence remains conflicting. This study therefore aimed to examine whether associations exist between adipokines gene polymorphisms and knee OA by considering the evidence collected from eligible studies through a meta-analysis. Methods A systematic search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang up to March 31, 2020. Meta-analysis was carried out by focusing on the associations between adipokines gene polymorphisms and knee OA with the allele model, dominant model, and recessive model. Results The present meta-analysis included 5 eligible studies for ADIPOQ rs1501299 with 1,021 cases and 1,097 controls, 3 eligible studies for ADIPOQ rs2241766 with 549 cases and 544 controls, 3 eligible studies for LEPR rs1137101 with 808 cases and 856 controls, 2 eligible studies for VISFATIN rs4730153 with 339 cases and 680 controls and 2 eligible studies for VISFATIN rs16872158 with 339 cases and 680 controls. Significant association was observed between LEPR rs1137101 and knee OA in the overall population (recessive: OR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.21–0.79). Limited data revealed that associations may exist between ADIPOQ rs2241766 and knee OA in Asians (dominant: OR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.03–1.78), between VISFATIN rs4730153 and knee OA in Asians (allele: OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.41–0.83; dominant: OR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.39–0.83), and between VISFATIN rs16872158 and knee OA in Asians (allele: OR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.26–2.68; dominant: OR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.31–2.89). Conclusions Adipokines gene polymorphisms may be associated with knee OA. The association was observed in LEPR rs1137101 in the present study. In addition, limited data revealed that associations may also exist in ADIPOQ rs2241766, VISFATIN rs4730153 and VISFATIN rs16872158. Prospero registration CRD42020187664.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is aberrantly overexpressed in many solid malignancies, making it an important target for anti-cancer biologic agents. Among them, epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs), which have been widely used in clinical practice, include anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. A proportion of patients treated with EGFRIs develop specific, dose-dependent skin toxicity such as papulopustular rash, paronychia, xerosis and itch. These side effects can cause physical and psychosocial discomfort that may result in dose reduction, discontinuance, or replacement of the current EGFRIs treatment. Correct diagnosis and treatment of these skin and mucosal adverse effects associated with EGFRIs is of great significance for the tertiary prevention of malignant tumors. A review on EGFRI-related mucocutaneous adverse reactions is presented here, focusing on the pathogenesis, the various clinical manifestations, the strategies for prevention and treatment of these conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the modified anterior midline approach and its efficacy for hyperextension bicondylar tibial plateau (HEBTP) fractures. METHODS From 2015 to 2019, 18 patients with HEBTP fractures with just little posterior cortical displacement were treated using the modified anterior midline approach. The operative protocols are fully described in this article, and the following parameters: articular step-off height (ASH), posterior tibial slope angle (pTSA), and medial tibial plateau angle (mTPA) were measured perioperatively and at the final follow-up. We also recorded the Rasmussen score and range of motion (ROM) to assess knee joint function at the final follow-up. RESULTS No complications, such as percutaneous nerve damage, infection, skin necrosis, and internal fixation breakage or loosening occurred perioperatively. The mean time for bony union was 13.7 weeks, and the mean preoperative ASH of the anterior cortex was 4.49 mm; this was restored to its normal height after surgery. The mean preoperative pTSA and mTPA were - 5.89° and 81.69°, respectively, compared with 3.89° and 87.91°, respectively, postoperatively. Comparing the postoperative and final follow-up radiographs, there were no significant differences in ASH, pTSA, and mTPA (P < 0.05). The average Rasmussen score was 27.2 (range, 23-29) at the final follow-up. Excellent results were achieved in 14 (77.8%) patients and good in 4 (22.2%) patients. The mean ROM in flexion was 123.2° and 2.9° in extension at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that the modified anterior midline approach is a reasonable alternative for HEBTP fracture repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of exenatide on the expression of ABCA1 and cholesterol metabolism in the pancreas of obese diabetic rats. OBJECTIVE Twenty-four normal male SD rats and 18 obese diabetic rats (induced by high-fat feeding and STZ injection) were both divided equally into 2 groups for injections of saline or exenatide. After treatment for a week, the expression of ABCA1, cholesterol metabolism, and islet function of the rats were examined using real-time PCR, Western blotting, oil red O staining, cholesterol content determination, and HE staining. OBJECTIVE The expressions of ABCA1 at both mRNA and protein levels in pancreatic tissue were significantly lower in obese diabetic rats than in normal SD rats. The obese diabetic rats showed obvious lipid deposition and increased cholesterol content in the pancreatic tissue with significantly reduced islet volume and structural changes (P < 0.05); exenatide treatment of the diabetic rats significantly up-regulated ABCA1 expression, reduced lipid deposition and cholesterol content in pancreatic tissue, and increased number and volume of the islets, which presented with more orderly alignment (P < 0.05). OBJECTIVE Obese diabetic rats have lowered ABCA1 expression, cholesterol efflux block, and cholesterol accumulation in the pancreatic tissue. Exenatide can up-regulate ABCA1 expression and promote cholesterol efflux to reduce cholesterol content in the pancreatic tissue and improve islet function in obese diabetic rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of long-noncoding ribonucleic acid HOXA transcript at the distal tip (lncRNA HOTTIP) in the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric carcinoma cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expressions of lncRNA HOTTIP in gastric carcinoma cell lines MGC-803, HGC-27, SNU-1, and SGC-7901 and normal gastric mucosa cell line RGM-1 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and compared. The effects of lncRNA HOTTIP on proliferation and apoptosis of gastric carcinoma cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. StarBase v2.0 website was adopted to predict the relationship between lncRNA HOTTIP and target miRNAs. Dual-Luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the sponge effect of lncRNA HOTTIP on miR-615-3p. CCK-8 experiment was conducted to detect its effect on proliferation of gastric carcinoma cells after co-silencing lncRNA HOTTIP and miR-615-3p. RESULTS LncRNA HOTTIP was highly expressed in gastric carcinoma cell lines MGC-803, HGC-27, SNU-1, and SGC-7901 than in normal gastric mucosa cell line RGM-1. After knockdown of lncRNA HOTTIP, the proliferation function of gastric carcinoma cells was markedly weakened, and the proportion of apoptotic cells increased. LncRNA HOTTIP was able to adsorb miR-615-3p via a sponge effect. Notably, knockdown of miR-615-3p restored the effect of silenced lncRNA HOTTIP on the proliferation function of gastric carcinoma cells. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA HOTTIP is highly expressed in gastric carcinoma cells. It affects cell proliferation and apoptosis in gastric carcinoma by adsorbing miR-615-3p via a sponge effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of adrenal metastasis (AM), and to compare with adrenalectomy (Adx). METHODS From June 2008 to August 2018, a total of 60 patients with AM treated at our hospital were retrospectively reviewed, of whom 29 treated by RFA (RFA group) and 31 by Adx (Adx group). The technical success, local tumor progression (LTP) and overall survival (OS) after the treatment were evaluated and compared. RESULTS In RFA group, the first technical success was 72.4% and the second technical success was 86.2%. In Adx group, all the AMs were successfully resected. After 24.5 ± 19.1 months follow-up period, a total of 8 patients (6 in RFA group and 2 in Adx group) were detected LTP. The 1-, 2- and 3- LTP rates after treatment were 17.1%, 30.9% and 44.7% in RFA group, and 6.5%, 6.5% and 6.5% in Adx group, respectively (P = 0.028). However, for AM ≤ 5 cm, the LTP between the two groups were comparable (P = 0.068). The 1-, 2- and 3- OS rates after treatment for AM were 85.0%, 42.4% and 27.8% in RFA group, and 93.0%, 66.1% and 52.3% in Adx group, respectively (P = 0.057). RFA offered shorter treatment time (23.6 ± 16.9 vs. 155.6 ± 58.8 min, P < 0.001), shorter hospital stay (7.8 ± 3.9 vs. 15.0 ± 4.9 days, P < 0.001), and lower hospital cost ($3405.7 ± 1067.8 vs. $5248.0 ± 2261.3, P = 0.003) than Adx. CONCLUSION In comparison with Adx, percutaneous US-guided RFA, as an alternative treatment, is feasible and effective in controlling AM, especially in AM ≤ 5 cm in diameter.

Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a crucial role in the modulation of orofacial pain, and we hypothesized that CGRP mediated a neuron-glia crosstalk in orofacial pain. The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms whereby CGRP mediated trigeminal neuron-glia crosstalk in modulating orofacial pain. Orofacial pain was elicited by ligating closed-coil springs between incisors and molars. Trigeminal neurons and satellite glial cells (SGCs) were cultured for mechanistic exploration. Gene and protein expression were determined through immunostaining, polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot. Orofacial pain was evaluated through the rat grimace scale. Our results revealed that the expressions of CGRP were elevated in both trigeminal neurons and SGCs following the induction of orofacial pain. Intraganglionic administration of CGRP and olcegepant exacerbated and alleviated orofacial pain, respectively. The knockdown of CGRP through viral vector-mediated RNA interference was able to downregulate CGRP expressions in both neurons and SGCs and to alleviate orofacial pain. CGRP upregulated the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase through the p38 signaling pathway in cultured SGCs. In turn, L-arginine (nitric oxide donor) was able to enhance orofacial pain by upregulating CGRP expressions in vivo. In cultured trigeminal neurons, L-arginine upregulated the expression of CGRP, and this effect was diminished by cilnidipine (N-type calcium channel blocker) while not by mibefradil (L-type calcium channel blocker). In conclusion, CGRP modulated orofacial pain through upregulating the expression of nitric oxide through the p38 signaling pathway in SGCs, and the resulting nitric oxide in turn stimulated CGRP expression through N-type calcium channel in neurons, building a CGRP-mediated positive-feedback neuron-glia crosstalk.

Abstract
AIMS Vibrio alginolyticus was frequently isolated from diseased farmed fish in the coaster waters of Hainan Island over the past two decades. In this study, we attempted to identify candidates of virulent strain-specific DNA regions for this pathogen. METHODS AND RESULTS Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and PCR were successively performed between the typical virulent strain and avirulent strain of V. alginolyticus, in which they shared 99·54% homology of 16S rDNAs. Out of 2873 subtracted clones, nine clones were finally indicated to harbour virulent strain-specific DNA fragments. The receivable functions of the major fragments in the nine clones were believed to encode methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (n = 1), type VI secretion system-associated FHA domain protein TagH (n = 1), diguanylate cyclase (n = 1), AraC family transcriptional regulator (n = 1), ABC-type uncharacterized transport system permease component (n = 1) and hypothetical proteins (n = 4). Two hypothetical proteins contain several disordered regions. CONCLUSIONS Some specific DNA regions existed in the virulent strain of V. alginolyticus, and the SSH assay could be a highly sensitive method for identifying virulent regions in pathogens. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This report is the first to describe the identification of virulent strain-specific DNA regions in the V. alginolyticus genome, which is helpful in developing virulent strain-specific rapid detection methods and is a pivotal precondition for clarifying the molecular virulence mechanism of V. alginolyticus.

Abstract
Objective To examine the correlation between dietary selenium (Se) intake and the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) in the general middle-aged and older population in China. Methods Data for analyses were collected from a population based cross-sectional study performed at the Xiangya Hospital Health Management Centre. Dietary Se intake was evaluated using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. OP was diagnosed on the basis of bone mineral density scans using a compact radiographic absorptiometry system. The correlation between dietary Se intake and the prevalence of OP was primarily examined by multivariable logistic regression. Results This cross-sectional study included a total of 6267 subjects (mean age: 52.2 ± 7.4 years; 42% women), and the prevalence of OP among the included subjects was 9.6% (2.3% in men and 19.7% in women). Compared with the lowest quartile, the energy intake, age, gender and body mass index (BMI)-adjusted odds ratios of OP were 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.55–0.94), 0.72 (95% CI 0.51–1.01) and 0.47 (95% CI 0.31–0.73) for the second, third and fourth quartiles of dietary Se intake, respectively (P for trend = 0.001). The results remained consistent in male and female subjects. Adjustment for additional potential confounders (i.e., smoking status, drinking status, physical activity level, nutritional supplements, diabetes, hypertension, fibre intake, and calcium intake) did not cause substantial changes to the results. Conclusions In the middle-aged and older humans, participants with lower levels of dietary Se intake have a higher prevalence of OP in a dose-response manner.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between rs12742784 polymorphism in the non-coding area and hip fracture, bone mineral density (BMD), and EPHB2 mRNA expression levels in elderly Chinese women.Methods: We investigated 250 Chinese women (mean age: 63.5 ± 8.3 years) including 123 hip fracture patients and 127 non-fracture controls. All participants underwent clinical examination to meet the inclusion criteria. Lumbar and hip BMD were detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. rs12742784 polymorphism was determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism and EPHB2 mRNA expression levels were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction.Results: Distribution of rs12742784 genotypes agreed with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of the CT + TT genotype was significantly associated with decreased risk of hip fracture (adjusted odds ratio = 0.57, p < 0.01) after adjusting for age and body mass index, and with increased BMD and EPHB2 mRNA expression levels. The T allele of the rs12742784 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was a protective factor for hip fracture (adjusted odds ratio = 0.56, p < 0.01).Conclusion: rs12742784 polymorphism was associated with EPHB2 mRNA expression levels, BMD, and hip fracture in Chinese women. The T allele of the rs12742784 SNP was a protective factor for osteoporosis and hip fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary erythromelalgia (PE) is a dominant inherited disorder characterized by recurrent pain, redness, and warmth of the extremities that is caused by gain-of-function mutations in Nav1.7 encoding gene SCN9A. Most of the PE-causing mutations of Nav1.7 have been shown to be able to render Nav1.7-expressing cells hyperexcitable, however in most PE cases the symptoms are refractory to treatment with sodium channel blockers and the mechanism underlying the intractability has not been clearly clarified. OBJECTIVE To identify the mutation of SCN9A in a Chinese Han family with typical symptoms of PE and study the electrophysiological effect of the identified mutation. METHODS A Chinese Han family with typical symptoms of PE was collected and the proband's response to treatment was recorded. All the exons and flanking intronic sequences of SCN9A were amplified with PCR and sequenced. Several online programs were used to predict the damaging effect of variants. The functional effect of variants was studied by voltage-clamp analysis in CHO-K1 cells. RESULTS The PE symptoms of the proband are refractory to all kinds of reported medications. Sequence analysis of SCN9A showed that a novel c.2477T>A (p. F826Y) mutation co-segregated with the disease phenotype. Several online programs predicted that the F826Y mutation has a deleterious effect on the gene product. Voltage-clamp analysis showed that while compared with the wild-type channel, activation of the F826Y mutant channel was shifted by 7.7 mV in a hyperpolarizing direction, whereas steadystate inactivation was shifted by 4.3 mV in a depolarizing direction. CONCLUSION A novel disease-causing SCN9A Mutation (F826Y) was identified in a Chinese family with typical PE symptoms refractory to treatment. F826Y of Nav1.7 could render DRG neurons hyperexcitable, contributing to the pathogenesis of PE.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) have potential in solving the icing of aircraft, high-voltage overhead transmission lines, and other power network devices exposed to the air. For this reason, we wish to establish the relationship between microstructure and the adhesion work by thermodynamic method, also for analysis of the relationship between the hydrophobicity and icephobicity (or anti-icing). Therefore, respectively considering Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states, such relationship was theoretically established based on one/two-step surface model, enlightened by natural and artificial SHS. Among it, how to obtain the adhesion work of icing per unit ice-solid interface is the key to this study. Followed by it, hydrothermal experiment, chemical deposition, and etching methods were performed to verify our theoretical results. How to model for the SHS based on the natural and artificial SHS; Computation for adhesion work (waw) per unit area of a water droplet–SHS interface; Computation for adhesion work (wai) per unit area of a frozen water droplet–SHS interface; Computation for reduced adhesion work (wa2) after icing; Hydrothermal experiment, chemical deposition and etching methods were used for validation of modeling.

Abstract
The Tibetan Plateau is the highest and one of the most demanding environments ever inhabited by humans. We investigated the timing and mechanisms of its initial colonization at the Nwya Devu site, located nearly 4600 meters above sea level. This site, dating from 40,000 to 30,000 years ago, is the highest Paleolithic archaeological site yet identified globally. Nwya Devu has yielded an abundant blade tool assemblage, indicating hitherto-unknown capacities for the survival of modern humans who camped in this environment. This site deepens the history of the peopling of the "roof of the world" and the antiquity of human high-altitude occupations more generally.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to perform a meta-analysis of vocal changes after vocal cord steroid injection (VFSI) in the treatment of benign lesions. Method:Pubmed, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang database were searched using the keywords. A total of 7 articles were characterized based on our keyword search. The chi-square-based I² statistic test was employed to assess the between-study heterogeneity. Additionally, random effects models were used to calculate mean differences with 95% confidence intervals. Result:A total of 344 cases were included in 7 literatures. Meta-analysis demonstrated a significant increase in maximal phonation time(MPT) and decrease Jitter after VFSI.The index and amplitude perturbations were not statistically significant before and after hormone injection. Conclusion:Our results support that VFSI has advantages in terms of voice quality. However, we need more studies with longer follow-up periods to validate our findings.

Abstract
Wind turbine gearbox (WTG) bearings can fail prematurely, significantly affecting wind turbine operational availability and the cost of energy production. The current most commonly accepted theory of failure mechanism is that the bearing subsurface is weakened by white etching crack (WEC) networks that eventually lead to the flaking away of material from the bearing surface. Subsurface damage due to rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is thought to be the main cause of premature failure, resulting from the initiation of micro-cracks, often at non-metallic inclusions or other material defects, which then propagate to the bearing surface. This study proposes a hypothesis that impact loading together with high levels of surface traction and contact pressure are important factors contributing to the initiation of micro-cracks and white etching areas (WEAs) at non-metallic inclusions which may lead to the formation of WEC networks. Both repeated impact and twin-disc RCF tests were designed to investigate inclusion-initiated micro-cracks and WEAs at subsurface in order to test this hypothesis. This led to the recreation of inclusion-initiated micro-cracks and WEAs in tested specimens, similar to the subsurface damage observed at inclusions in failed WTG bearing raceways. Tests were carried out to determine threshold levels of contact pressure, surface traction, and impact loading required for the formation of inclusion-initiated micro-cracks and WEAs.

Abstract
Cancer is the main leading cause of death in the world, although it has been made noteworthy advances in cancer research in the past decades. Early detection of cancer is extremely important in improving the chances of successful therapy. Thus, it is urgently needed to make further efforts to explore novel tumor markers for treatment. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a cytosolic enzyme which catalyzes the N-methylation of nicotinamide to form 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA), and plays an important role in controlling the intracellular concentration of nicotinamide. Nicotinamide, the precursor to NAD+, is an important cofactor that associates cellular redox states with energy metabolism. Growing evidence shows that NNMT protein levels are elevated in a variety of human cancers, and increased NNMT expression has been linked to tumor aggressiveness. This paper presents a review for the role of NNMT expressed in a series of human cancers and the regulating mechanism involved, and offers its potential value of NNMT in cancer detection and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with leprosy have a very low risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) and β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition is significantly lower in the brain tissue of elderly patients with leprosy compared with age-matched controls. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) plays a critical role in lipid metabolic pathways and in the brain, facilitating the proteolytic clearance of Aβ. We hypothesized that APOE confers risk of leprosy as lipid metabolism is involved in Mycobacterium leprae infection. OBJECTIVES To investigate the potential genetic associations between APOE and leprosy in two independent Chinese case-control cohorts from the Yuxi and Wenshan prefectures, Yunnan Province of Southwest China. METHODS Five APOE single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analysed in 1110 individuals (527 patients and 583 controls) from the Yuxi prefecture using a SNaPshot assay. Genetic variations in the entire APOE exons were screened in 1788 individuals (798 patients and 990 controls) from the Wenshan prefecture using next-generation sequencing technology. RESULTS The AD-associated SNPs rs405509 and rs439401 increased the risk of leprosy per se and multibacillary leprosy (P < 0·005), but the APOE-ε4 allele did not. The SNPs rs405509 and rs439401 were cis expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) for APOE expression in human skin. Differential APOE mRNA expression was observed in skin lesions of patients with type I reaction leprosy and those with multibacillary leprosy. APOE and related lipid genes are involved in an interaction network with leprosy susceptibility genes. CONCLUSIONS The APOE gene is associated with leprosy, most likely by regulating lipid-metabolism-related genes.
