Abstract
Nonlinear interactions of spin-waves and their quanta, magnons, have emerged as prominent candidates for interference-based technology, ranging from quantum transduction to antiferromagnetic spintronics. Yet magnon multiplication in the terahertz (THz) spectral region represents a major challenge. Intense, resonant magnetic fields from THz pulse-pairs with controllable phases and amplitudes enable high order THz magnon multiplication, distinct from non-resonant nonlinearities such as the high harmonic generation by below-band gap electric fields. Here, we demonstrate exceptionally high-order THz nonlinear magnonics. It manifests as 7th-order spin-wave-mixing and 6th harmonic magnon generation in an antiferromagnetic orthoferrite. We use THz two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy to achieve high-sensitivity detection of nonlinear magnon interactions up to six-magnon quanta in strongly-driven many-magnon correlated states. The high-order magnon multiplication, supported by classical and quantum spin simulations, elucidates the significance of four-fold magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya symmetry breaking. Moreover, our results shed light on the potential quantum fluctuation properties inherent in nonlinear magnons.

Abstract
Background and aim A high aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio is associated with liver injury in liver disease; however, no data exist regarding its relationship with 90-day prognosis in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic liver disease. Methods In this study, 3,758 participants (955 with advanced fibrosis and 2,803 with cirrhosis) from the CATCH-LIFE cohort in China were included. The relationships between different AST/ALT ratios and the risk of adverse 90-day outcomes (death or liver transplantation) were determined in patients with cirrhosis or hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated advanced fibrosis, respectively. Results In the patients with HBV-associated advanced fibrosis, the risk of 90-day adverse outcomes increased with AST/ALT ratio; after adjusting for all confounding factors, the risk of adverse 90-day outcomes was the highest when AST/ALT ratio was more than 1.08 (OR = 6.91 [95% CI = 1.789-26.721], p = 0.005), and the AST/ALT ratio of >1.9 accelerated the development of adverse outcomes. In patients with cirrhosis, an AST/ALT ratio > 1.38 increased the risk of adverse 90-day outcomes in all univariables (OR = 1.551 [95% CI = 1.216-1.983], p < 0.001) and multivariable-adjusted analyses (OR = 1.847 [95% CI = 1.361-2.514], p < 0.001), and an elevated AST/ALT ratio (<2.65) accelerated the incidence of 90-day adverse outcomes. An AST/ALT ratio of >1.38 corresponded with a more than 20% incidence of adverse outcomes in patients with cirrhosis. Conclusion The AST/ALT ratio is an independent risk factor for adverse 90-day outcomes in patients with cirrhosis and HBV-associated advanced fibrosis. The cutoff values of the AST/ALT ratio could help clinicians monitor the condition of patients when making clinical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute decompensation (AD) of cirrhosis is associated with high short-term mortality, mainly due to the development of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Thus, there is a need for biomarkers for early and accurate identification of AD patients with high risk of development of ACLF and mortality. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) is released from activated innate immune cells and correlated with various inflammatory processes. AIM To explore the prognostic value of sTREM-1 in patients with AD of cirrhosis. METHODS A multicenter prospective cohort of 442 patients with cirrhosis hospitalized for AD was divided into a study cohort (n = 309) and validation cohort (n = 133). Demographic and clinical data were collected, and serum sTREM-1 was measured at admission. All enrolled patients were followed-up for at least 1 year. RESULTS In patients with AD and cirrhosis, serum sTREM-1 was an independent prognosis predictor for 1-year survival and correlated with liver, coagulation, cerebral and kidney failure. A new prognostic model of AD (P-AD) incorporating sTREM-1, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (TBil), international normalized ratio (INR) and hepatic encephalopathy grades was established and performed better than the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), MELD-sodium (MELD-Na), chronic liver failure-consortium (CLIF-C) ACLF and CLIF-C AD scores. Additionally, sTREM-1 was increased in ACLF and predicted the development of ACLF during first 28-d follow-up. The ACLF risk score incorporating serum sTREM-1, BUN, INR, TBil and aspartate aminotransferase levels was established and significantly superior to MELD, MELD-Na, CLIF-C ACLF, CLIF-C AD and P-AD in predicting risk of ACLF development. CONCLUSION Serum sTREM-1 is a promising prognostic biomarker for ACLF development and mortality in patients with AD of cirrhosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the trends in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients and to assess the longitudinal impact of antiviral therapy on their well-being. METHODS In this prospective multicenter observational study in adults with HCV infection, sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and EQ-5D questionnaires were collected. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to assess the associations between these variables and changes in HRQoL over time. RESULTS 456 patients were included, with a median age of 46.5 (36.5-57.0) years, of which 262 (57.5%) were males and 44 (9.6%) had cirrhosis. 335 patients (73.5%) receiving antiviral therapy and 61.8% achieved sustained virologic response (SVR). The baseline EQ-5D utility and EQ-VAS were 0.916 ± 0.208 and 80.6 ± 13.0. In multivariable analysis of GEE estimation, achieving SVR24 was positively associated with EQ-5D utility (p = 0.000) and EQ-VAS (p = 0.000) over time. Age and income were shown to be significant predictors of EQ-5D utility, while gender, age and genotype were associated with EQ-VAS over time. CONCLUSIONS SVR improved long-term HRQoL in HCV patients in the first few years following viral clearance. Certain sociodemographic factors, such as gender, age, income as well as genotype, significantly influenced long-term changes in patients' quality of life. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01594554.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a highly dynamic syndrome. The objective of this study was to delineate the clinical course of patients with HBV-ACLF and to develop a model to estimate the temporal evolution of disease severity. METHODS We enrolled eligible patients from 2 large, multicenter prospective cohorts. The ACLF grade, organ failures, and outcomes were assessed at multiple time points (days 1/4/7/14/21/28). Probabilities for ACLF transitions between these disease states and to death within 28 days were calculated using a multi-state model that used baseline information and updated ACLF status. The model was validated in independent patients. RESULTS Among all the 445 patients with HBV-ACLF, 76 represented disease progression, 195 had a stable or fluctuating course, 8 with improvement, and the remaining 166 with resolution within 28-day follow-up. New coagulation (63.64%) or renal failure (45.45%) was frequently observed during early progression. Patients with disease progression had a higher incidence of new episodes of ascites [10 (13.16%) vs. 22 (5.96%), p = 0.027] and HE [13(17.11%) vs. 21 (5.69%), p = 0.001], and a significant increase in white blood cell count. The multi-state model represented dynamic areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves ranging from 0.71 to 0.84 for predicting all ACLF states and death at 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days post-enrollment and from 0.73 to 0.94 for predicting death alone, performing better than traditional prognostic scores. CONCLUSIONS HBV-ACLF is a highly dynamic syndrome with reversibility. The multi-state model is a tool to estimate the temporal evolution of disease severity, which may inform clinical decisions on treatment.

Abstract
With the large-scale vaccination of lipid nanoparticles (LNP)-based COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, elucidating the potential polyethylene glycol (PEG)-associated immune responses triggered by clinically relevant LNP has become imminent. However, inconsistent findings were observed across very limited population-based studies. Herein we initiated a study using LNP carrier of Comirnaty® as a representative, and simulated real-world clinical practice covering a series of time points and various doses correlated with approved LNP-delivered drugs in a rat model. We demonstrated the time- and dose-dependency of LNP-induced anti-PEG antibodies in rats. As a thymus-independent antigen, LNP unexpectedly induced isotype switch and immune memory, leading to rapid enhancement and longer lasting time of anti-PEG IgM and IgG upon re-injection in rats. Importantly, initial LNP injection accelerated the blood clearance of subsequent dosing in rats. These findings refine our understandings on LNP and possibly other PEG derivatives, and may promote optimization of related premarket guidelines and clinical protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a clinical syndrome associated with high short-term mortality in patients with chronic liver disease. Chronic hepatitis B is the main cause of ACLF (HBV-ACLF) in China and other Asian countries. To improve disease management and survival for patients with ACLF, we aimed to discover novel biomarkers to enhance HBV-ACLF diagnosis and prognostication. METHODS We performed a metabolomics profiling of 1,024 plasma samples collected from patients with HBV-related chronic liver disease with acute exacerbation at hospital admission in a multi-year and multi-center prospective study (367 ACLF and 657 non-ACLF). The samples were randomly separated into equal halves as a discovery set and a validation set. We identified metabolites associated with 90-day mortality in the ACLF group and the progression to ACLF within 28 days in the non-ACLF group (pre-ACLF) using statistical analysis and machine learning. We developed diagnostic algorithms in the discovery set and used these to assess the findings in the validation set. RESULTS ACLF significantly altered the plasma metabolome, particularly in membrane lipid metabolism, steroid hormones, oxidative stress pathways, and energy metabolism. Numerous metabolites were significantly associated with 90-day mortality in the ACLF group and/or pre-ACLF in the non-ACLF group. We developed algorithms for the prediction of 90-day mortality in patients with ACLF (area under the curve 0.87 and 0.83 for the discovery set and validation set, respectively) and the diagnosis of pre-ACLF (area under the curve 0.94 and 0.88 for the discovery set and validation set, respectively). To translate our discoveries into practical clinical tests, we developed targeted assays using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS Based on novel metabolite biomarkers, we established tests for HBV-related ACLF with higher accuracy than existing methods. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER NCT02457637 and NCT03641872. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a clinical syndrome associated with high short-term mortality affecting 25% of patients hospitalized with cirrhosis. Chronic hepatitis B is the main etiology of ACLF in China and other Asian counties. There is currently no effective therapy. Early diagnosis and accurate prognostication are critical for improving clinical outcomes in patients with ACLF. Based on novel metabolite biomarkers, we developed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry tests with improved accuracy for the early diagnosis and prognostication of HBV-related ACLF. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry tests can be implemented in clinical labs and used by physicians to triage patients with HBV-related ACLF to ensure optimized clinical management.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that is characterized by elevated blood sugar. Although glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) lower blood glucose in a glucose-dependent manner, most of them are macromolecule polypeptides. Macromolecular peptides are relatively expensive and inconvenient compared with small molecules. Therefore, this study sought to identify the small molecules binding to GLP-1R via cell membrane chromatography (CMC), confirm their agonistic activity, and further study its beneficial effects in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced by a combination of high-fat diet and streptozotocin. We used CMC, calcium imaging and molecular docking techniques to screen and identify the potential small molecule Schisandrin B (Sch B), which exhibits a strong binding effect to GLP-1R, from the small molecule library of traditional Chinese medicine. Through in-vitro experiments, we found that Sch B stimulated insulin secretion in β-TC-6 cells, while GLP-1R antagonist Exendin9-39, adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ22536, and protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H89 could significantly inhibit the insulin secretion induced by Sch B. In vivo, Sch B significantly improved fasting blood glucose levels, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test damage, and the status of pancreatic tissue damage, and reduced serum insulin levels, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein in T2DM mice. These results indicate that Sch B alleviates T2DM by promoting insulin release through the GLP-1R/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, suggesting that Sch B may be a potential GLP-1RA, which is expected to provide a new therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of T2DM.

Abstract
AIMS The incidence of diabetic cognitive dysfunction is increasing year by year, and it has gradually become a research hot spot. Studies have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists can improve cognitive dysfunction in diabetic patients. This study focuses on whether small molecule GLP-1R agonists from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can improve the diabetic cognitive dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS The small molecules from TCM were screened by cell membrane chromatography (CMC) with GLP-1R-HEK293 cell membrane column. MTT assay, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence cytochemistry and other methods were used to determine the effects of mollugin on the apoptosis rate and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level of high glucose (HG)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced PC12 cells. Real-Time PCR was used to detect mRNA expression in mouse cerebral cortex. Water maze test was further used to confirm the effect of mollugin on cognitive dysfunction in T2DM mice. KEY FINDINGS Mollugin bound to GLP-1R, promoted Ca2+ influx, increased insulin secretion and cAMP content in β-TC-6 cells. Mollugin enhanced the cell viability, ameliorated apoptosis, reduced intracellular ROS levels in HG/H2O2-injured PC12 cells. Mollugin reduced the T2DM mice's escape latency, improved neuronal cell damage, decreased the expression of Pik3ca, Akt1 and Mapk1 mRNA in the cerebral cortex tissue. SIGNIFICANCE The results suggest that mollugin could improve cognitive dysfunction in T2DM mice through activating GLP-1R/cAMP/PKA signal pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current guidelines discourage the use of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) containing protease-inhibitor (PI) in advanced HCV cirrhosis. We aimed to compare the real-world tolerability of PI vs. non-PI DAA regimens in this population. METHODS We identified advanced cirrhosis patients treated with DAA from the REAL-C registry. The primary outcome was significant worsening or improvement in CPT or MELD scores following DAA treatment. RESULTS From the REAL-C registry of 15,837 patients, we included 1077 advanced HCV cirrhosis patients from 27 sites. 42% received PI-based DAA. Compared to non-PI group, the PI group was older, had higher MELD and higher percentage with kidney disease. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW; matching on age, sex, history of clinical decompensation, MELD, platelet, albumin, Asia site, Asian ethnicity, hypertension, hemoglobin, genotype, liver cancer, ribavirin) was used to balance the two groups. In the IPTW-matched cohorts, the PI and non-PI groups had similar SVR12 (92.9% vs. 90.7%, p = 0.30), similar percentages of significant worsening in CTP or MELD scores at posttreatment week 12 and 24 (23.9% vs. 13.1%, p = 0.07 and 16.5% vs. 14.6%, p = 0.77), and similar frequency of new HCC, decompensating event, and death by posttreatment week 24. In multivariable analysis, PI-based DAA was not associated with significant worsening (adjusted odds ratio = 0.82, 95% CI 0.38-1.77). CONCLUSION Tolerability and treatment outcomes were not significantly different in advanced HCV cirrhosis treated with PI-based (vs. non-PI) DAA up to CTP-B or MELD score of 15. Safety of PI-based DAA in those with CTP-C or MELD beyond 15 awaits further data.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The aim of this study was to determine whether adaptive radiotherapy guided by functional imaging with flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) can improve local tumor control in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). MATERIALS/METHODS This was a phase II randomized study comparing the efficacy and safety between PET-guided adaptive radiotherapy and conventional radiotherapy. The primary end point was 2-year local-regional tumor control (LRTC) rate. Secondary end points included local-regional progression-free survival (LR-PFS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and radiation-related toxicities. RESULTS Between November 2012 and June 2017, 72 patients were 1:1 randomized to adaptive and conventional arms. The 2- and 5-year LRTC rates were 63.2% and 58.0% versus 43.0% and 37.6% (P = 0.035) in the adaptive and conventional arms, respectively. The median LR-PFS (14.3 versus 12.0 months; P = 0.010) and PFS (12.8 versus 8.9 months; P = 0.034) were significantly longer in the adaptive arm than in the conventional arm. The median OS was 36.3 months in the adaptive arm and 28.8 months in the conventional arm (P = 0.266). The esophageal volume of receiving ≥60 Gy (V60) in the adaptive arm was lower than that in the conventional arm (P = 0.011), while the V30 for the heart in the adaptive arm was lower than that in the conventional arm (P = 0.077). Other radiological metrological parameters of tumor, organs at risk, and the incidence of ≥grade 2 radiation-related toxicities were not significantly different between the 2 arms. CONCLUSION Compared with conventional radiotherapy, PET-guided adaptive radiotherapy significantly improved the 2-year LRTC rate, LR-PFS, and PFS without increased risks of radiation-related toxicities in patients with LA-NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Current hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk scores do not reflect changes in HCC risk resulting from liver disease progression/regression over time. We aimed to develop and validate two novel prediction models using multivariate longitudinal data, with or without cell-free DNA (cfDNA) signatures. METHODS A total of 13,728 patients from two nationwide multicenter prospective observational cohorts, the majority of whom had chronic hepatitis B, were enrolled. aMAP score, as one of the most promising HCC prediction models, was evaluated for each patient. Low-pass whole-genome sequencing was used to derive multi-modal cfDNA fragmentomics features. A longitudinal discriminant analysis algorithm was used to model longitudinal profiles of patient biomarkers and estimate the risk of HCC development. RESULTS We developed and externally validated two novel HCC prediction models with a greater accuracy, termed aMAP-2 and aMAP-2 Plus scores. The aMAP-2 score, calculated with longitudinal data on the aMAP score and alpha-fetoprotein values during an up to 8-year follow-up, performed superbly in the training and external validation cohorts (AUC 0.83-0.84). The aMAP-2 score showed further improvement and accurately divided aMAP-defined high-risk patients into two groups with 5-year cumulative HCC incidences of 23.4% and 4.1%, respectively (p = 0.0065). The aMAP-2 Plus score, which incorporates cfDNA signatures (nucleosome, fragment and motif scores), optimized the prediction of HCC development, especially for patients with cirrhosis (AUC 0.85-0.89). Importantly, the stepwise approach (aMAP -> aMAP-2 -> aMAP-2 Plus) stratified patients with cirrhosis into two groups, comprising 90% and 10% of the cohort, with an annual HCC incidence of 0.8% and 12.5%, respectively (p <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS aMAP-2 and aMAP-2 Plus scores are highly accurate in predicting HCC. The stepwise application of aMAP scores provides an improved enrichment strategy, identifying patients at a high risk of HCC, which could effectively guide individualized HCC surveillance. IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS In this multicenter nationwide cohort study, we developed and externally validated two novel hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk prediction models (called aMAP-2 and aMAP-2 Plus scores), using longitudinal discriminant analysis algorithm and longitudinal data (i.e., aMAP and alpha-fetoprotein) with or without the addition of cell-free DNA signatures, based on 13,728 patients from 61 centers across mainland China. Our findings demonstrated that the performance of aMAP-2 and aMAP-2 Plus scores was markedly better than the original aMAP score, and any other existing HCC risk scores across all subsets, especially for patients with cirrhosis. More importantly, the stepwise application of aMAP scores (aMAP -> aMAP-2 -> aMAP-2 Plus) provides an improved enrichment strategy, identifying patients at high risk of HCC, which could effectively guide individualized HCC surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pegylated interferon α-2b (PegIFNα-2b) therapy can help inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers (IHCs) achieve clinical cure. To explore and compare the efficacy, safety, and relevant influential factors of PegIFNα-2b monotherapy and PegIFNα-2b-based immunotherapy for IHCs. METHODS This exploratory, prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial enrolled 40 IHCs who were randomized into group A (PegIFNα-2b treatment for 68 weeks) and group B (two cycles of PegIFNα-2b treatment with a lead-in period of GM-CSF and vaccine treatment before each cycle). The primary endpoint was 68-week HBsAg loss rate. RESULTS At week 68, the HBsAg loss rates were 45.45% [full analysis set (FAS)] and 46.67% [per-protocol set (PPS)]. There was no statistically significant difference in HBsAg loss rate between groups A and B ( P > 0.05). Univariate analysis revealed that age ≤40 years old, baseline HBsAg <200 IU/ml, and 24-week HBsAg decline ≥2 log 10 IU/ml were significantly associated with HBsAg loss in FAS population ( P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that only 24-week HBsAg decline ≥2 log 10 IU/ml was the independent influencing factor in both FAS and PPS populations ( P < 0.05). The adverse events were common and mild, and the therapies were well-tolerated. CONCLUSION Treatment of IHCs with PegIFNα-2b-based therapy could result in a high HBsAg loss rate. The HBsAg loss rate of combined immunotherapy was similar to that of PegIFNα-2b monotherapy, and the safety was good. CLINICALTRIALSGOV ID NCT05451420.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The relationship between anemia and the outcome of patients with cirrhosis is not completely clear. Therefore, we performed this large-scale epidemiological study to investigate the prevalence and severity of anemia in patients with cirrhosis and acute decompensation or liver injury and how anemia impacts short-term and long-term outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with cirrhosis and acute decompensation (AD) or acute liver injury (ALI) were enrolled in the Chinese AcuTe on CHronic LIver FailurE (CATCH-LIFE) studies, which consisted of two large, multicenter, prospective, observational cohorts between January 2015 and December 2016 and July 2018 and January 2019. We conducted data analysis on the prevalence of anemia and determined the relationship between anemia and prognosis. RESULTS Among 1979 patients, 1389 (70.2%) had anemia, among whom 599 (41.3%) had mild anemia, 595 (15.8%) had moderate anemia and 195 (2.4%) had severe anemia. A linear association between hemoglobin level and 90-day or 1-year LT-free mortality was shown, and a 10 g/L decrease in hemoglobin level was associated with a 6.8% extra risk of 90-day death and a 5.7% extra risk of 1-year death. Severe anemia was an independent risk factor for 90-day [HR=1.649 (1.100, 2.473), p=0.016] and 1-year LT-free mortality [HR=1.610 (1.159, 2.238), p=0.005]. Multinomial logistic regression analysis further identified that severe anemia was significantly associated with post-28-day mortality but not within-28-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS Anemia is common in patients with cirrhosis admitted for acute events. Severe anemia was associated with poor 90-day and 1-year prognoses in these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the therapeutic mechanism of Liushen Wan (LSW) against colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) by network pharmacology. METHODS TCMSP, BATMAN-TCM, CNKI, PubMed, Genecards, OMIM, and TTD databases were used to obtain the related targets of LSW and CAC. The common targets of LSW and CAC were obtained using Venny online website. The PPI network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.8.2 to screen the core targets of LSW in the treatment of CAC. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted using DAVID database. The therapeutic effect of LSW on CAC was evaluated in a C57BL/6J mouse model of AOM/DSS-induced CAC by observing the changes in body weight, disease activity index, colon length, and size and number of the tumor. HE staining and RT-qPCR were used to analyze the effect of LSW on inflammatory mediators. Immunohistochemistry and TUNEL staining were used to evaluate the effect of LSW on the proliferation and apoptosis of AOM/DSS-treated colon tumor cells. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to detect the effects of LSW on the expression of TLR4 proteins in CAC mice. RESULTS Network pharmacology analysis identified 69 common targets of LSW and CAC, and 33 hub targets were screened in the PPI network. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that the effect of LSW on CAC was mediated by the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In the mouse model of AOM/DSS-induced CAC, LSW significantly inhibited colitis-associated tumorigenesis, reduced tumor number and tumor load (P < 0.05), obviously improved histopathological changes in the colon, downregulated the mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines, and inhibited the proliferation (P < 0.01) and promoted apoptosis of colon tumor cells (P < 0.001). LSW also significantly decreased TLR4 protein expression in the colon tissue (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION LSW can inhibit CAC in mice possibly by regulating the expression of TLR4 to reduce intestinal inflammation, inhibit colon tumor cell proliferation and promote their apoptosis.

Abstract
Background and Aims Tenofovir amibufenamide (TMF) is a novel phosphoramidated prodrug of tenofovir with noninferior efficacy and better bone and renal safety to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in 48 weeks of treatment. Here, we update 96-week comparison results. Methods Patients with chronic hepatitis B were assigned (2:1) to receive either 25 mg TMF or 300 mg TDF with matching placebo for 96 weeks. The virological suppression was defined as HBV DNA levels <20 IU/mL at week 96. Safety was evaluated thoroughly with focusing on bone, renal, and metabolic parameters. Results Virological suppression rates at week 96 were similar between TMF and TDF group in both HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative populations. Noninferior efficacy was maintained in the pooled population, while it was first achieved in patients with HBV DNA ≥7 or 8 log10 IU/mL at baseline. Non-indexed estimated glomerular filtration rate for renal safety assessment was adopted, while a smaller decline of which was seen in the TMF group than in the TDF group (p=0.01). For bone mineral density, patients receiving TMF displayed significantly lower reduction levels in the densities of spine, hip, and femur neck at week 96 than those receiving TDF. In addition, the lipid parameters were stable after week 48 in all groups while weight change still showed the opposite trend. Conclusions TMF maintained similar efficacy at week 96 compared with TDF with continued superior bone and renal safety profiles (NCT03903796).

Abstract
Introduction The clinical significance of persistent positive in Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA level in patients receiving antiviral therapy is not well known. We investigated factors associated with persistent viremia (PV) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) given 78-week entecavir. Methods A total of 394 treatment-naïve CHB patients who had undergone liver biopsy at baseline and week 78 of treatment were analyzed in this prospective multicentre study. We identified patients with PV (above the lower limit of quantification, 20 IU/ml) after 78 weeks of entecavir therapy. Stepwise, forward, multivariate regression analyses of specified baseline parameters were apllied to identify factors associated with PV. Futhermore, we assessed the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in all patients using models of the risk of HCC development. Results Of the 394 patients, 90 (22.8%) still with PV after 78-week antiviral treatment. Factors associated significantly with PV (vs complete virological response, CVR) were HBV DNA level ≥8 log10 IU/mL (OR, 3.727; 95% CI, 1.851-7.505; P < 0.001), Anti-HBc level < 3 log10 IU/mL (OR, 2.384; 95% CI, 1.223-4.645; P=0.011), and HBeAg seropositivity (OR, 2.871; 95% CI, 1.563-5.272; P < 0.001). Patients with PV were less likely to have fibrosis progression and HCC development than those with the CVR. Of the 11 HBeAg-positive patients with HBV DNA level ≥8 log10 IU/mL and Anti-HBc level < 3 log10 IU/mL at baseline, 9 (81.8%) had persistent positivity in HBV DNA level and 0 had fibrosis progression at week 78 of treatment. Discussion In conclusion, HBV DNA level ≥8 log10 IU/mL, Anti-HBc level < 3 log10 IU/mL and HBeAg seropositivity at baseline contribute to PV in patients with CHB receiving 78-week antiviral treatment. In addition, the rate of fibrosis progression and the risk of HCC development in patients with PV were kept low. The complete protocol for the clinical trial has been registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01962155 and NCT03568578).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) can cause liver fibrosis and lead to cirrhosis and cancer. As the effectiveness of antiviral therapy to reverse liver fibrosis is limited, We aimed to evaluate the effect of An-Luo-Hua-Xian pill (ALHX) on fibrosis regression in CHB patients treated with entecavir (ETV). METHODS Treatment-naïve patients with CHB were randomly treated with ETV alone or combined with ALHX (ETV+ALHX) between October 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020. Demographic, laboratory, and liver histology data before and after 78 weeks of treatment were collected. The Ishak fibrosis score (F) was used and fibrosis regression required a decrease in F of ≥1 after treatment. RESULTS A total of 780 patients were enrolled, and 394 with a second liver biopsy after treatment were included in the per-protocol population, 132 in ETV group and 262 in ETV+ALHX group. After 78 weeks of treatment, the fibrosis regression rate in the ETV+ALHX group was significantly higher than that of the ETV group at baseline F≥3 patients: 124/211 (58.8%) vs. 45/98 (45.9%), p=0.035. The percentage of patients with a decreased liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was higher in the ETV+ALHX group: 156/211 (73.9%) vs. 62/98 (63.%), p=0.056. Logistic regression analysis showed that ETV combined with ALHX was associated with fibrosis regression [odds ratio (OR)=1.94, p=0.018], and a family history of hepatocellular carcinoma was on the contrary. (OR=0.41, p=0.031). CONCLUSIONS ETV combined with ALHX increased liver fibrosis regression in CHB patients.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is strongly associated with an increased risk of developing cognitive dysfunction. Numerous studies have indicated that erythropoietin (EPO) has neurotrophic effects. Ferroptosis has been reported to be associated with diabetic cognitive dysfunction. However, the impact of EPO on T2DM-associated cognitive dysfunction and its protective mechanism remain unclear. To evaluate the effects of EPO on diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction, we constructed a T2DM mouse model and found that EPO not only decreased fasting blood glucose but also ameliorated hippocampal damage in the brain. The Morris water maze test indicated that EPO improved cognitive impairments in diabetic mice. Moreover, a ferroptosis inhibitor improved cognitive dysfunction in mice with T2DM in vivo. Furthermore, a ferroptosis inhibitor, but not other cell death inhibitors, mostly rescued high-glucose damaged PC12 cell viability. EPO had a similar effect as the ferroptosis inhibitor, which increased cell viability in the presence of a ferroptosis inducer. In addition, EPO reduced lipid peroxidation, iron levels, and regulated ferroptosis-related expression of proteins in vivo and in vitro. These findings indicate that EPO ameliorates T2DM-associated cognitive dysfunction, which might be related to decreasing iron overload and inhibiting ferroptosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of calorie-restricted diet (CRD), high protein diet (HPD), high protein, and high dietary fiber diet (HPD+HDF) on metabolic parameters and androgen level in overweight/obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods: Ninety overweight/obese patients with PCOS from Peking University First Hospital from October 2018 to February 2020 were given medical nutrition weight loss therapy for 8 weeks and were randomly divided into CRD group, HPD group, and HPD+HDF group, with 30 patients in each group. Body composition, insulin resistance, and androgen level were detected before and after weight loss, and the efficacy of three weight loss therapies was compared through variance analysis and Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results: Eight patients in CRD group quit because they could not strictly complete the follow-up, therefore at the end of weight loss, 22, 30, and 30 patients in CRD group, HPD group and HPD+HDF group, respectively, were included in the final analysis. The baseline ages of the three groups were (31±2) years, (32±5) years and (31±5) years, respectively (P=0.952). After weight loss, the relevant indicators in HPD group and HPD+HDF group decreased more than those in CRD group. The body weight of CRD group, HPD group and HPD+HDF group decreased by 4.20 (11.92, 1.80), 5.00 (5.10, 3.32) and 6.10 (8.10, 3.07) kg, respectively (P=0.038); BMI of the three groups decreased by 0.80 (1.70, 0.40), 0.90 (1.23, 0.50) and 2.20 (3.30, 1.12) kg/m2, respectively (P=0.002); homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) index decreased by 0.48(1.93, 0.05), 1.21(2.91, 0.18) and 1.22(1.75, 0.89), respectively (P=0.196); and free androgen index(FAI) decreased by 0.23(0.67, -0.04), 0.41(0.64, 0.30) and 0.44(0.63, 0.24), respectively (P=0.357). Conclusions: The three medical nutrition therapies can effectively reduce the weight of overweight/obese patients with PCOS, and improve insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism. Compared with CRD group, HPD group, and HPD+HDF group have better fat-reducing effect, and can better preserve muscle and basal metabolic rate while losing weight.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic and relapsing inflammatory conditions associated with impaired intestinal epithelial barrier. Mucosal healing is the primary goal for IBD treatment since it is a good predictor of clinical remission. We previously showed the direct beneficial effects of rhamnogalacturonan (RGal), a polysaccharide isolated from the plant Acmella oleracea, on intestinal epithelial barrier function with participation of TLR4 and PKC activation. RNAseq data and pathway analysis have indicated the involvement of the canonical nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) signaling pathway. Purpose We hypothesize that RGal increases intestinal epithelial wound healing through FAK-Src/PI3K/NF-kB signaling pathways. Method Caco-2 and T84 cells, and human primary cell monolayers grown from ulcerative colitis patient-derived organoids, were wounded and treated with vehicle (media or 0.5% DMSO in media) or RGal (1000 μg/ml) for 48 h. Wound healing was assessed using either the IncuCyte or ImageXpress Pico live cell imaging systems. Proliferation and apoptosis of cells were evaluated using EdU and TUNEL assays, respectively. Inhibitors were added at the same time (transcription inhibitor Actinomycin D, 5 μg/ml) or 1 h (FAK inhibitor FAK-14, 10 μM, Src inhibitor PP2, 5 μM, PI3K inhibitor LY294002, 20 μM, NF-kB inhibitors Bay 11-7082 and JSH-23, 10 and 20 μM, respectively, or COX-2 inhibitor NS-398, 20 μM) before RGal treatment. Unwounded Caco-2 monolayers treated with RGal (1000 μg/ml) were collected for Western blotting for COX-2 protein. Result(s) In the wound healing assay, RGal (1000 μg/ml) enhanced wound healing by 12.5% at 48 h in Caco-2 cells and by 14.7% at 24 h in T84 cells, compared to control group. RGal (1000 μg/ml) also accelerated the wound closure in colonoid monolayers obtained from ulcerative colitis patient biopsies by 81.3% at 48 h. Neither proliferation nor apoptosis were involved in the RGal effect on wound healing. Treatment of cells with FAK14 (10 μM), PP2 (5 μM), and PI3K (20 μM) significantly prevented the RGal-induced wound healing. Actinomycin D (5 μg/ml), Bay 11-7082 (10 μM) or JSH-23 (20 μM) treatment significantly reversed the effect of RGal on wound healing, showing that the response was transcriptionally dependent and involved NF-kB signaling. Treatment of cells with NS-398 (20 μM) also reversed the effect of RGal on wound healing. COX-2 protein expression was significantly increased at 6 and 12 h after RGal addition to Caco-2 monolayers. Conclusion(s) These data suggest that the plant-based polysaccharide RGal increases intestinal epithelial cell wound healing by increasing cell migration. The RGal effect is dependent on the activation of the FAK-Src/PI3K signaling pathways and subsequently the transcription factor NF-kB and downstream COX-2 protein expression and activity. Our findings show a novel mechanism of action of RGal in wound healing that could help in the resolution of intestinal inflammation and mucosal healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The impact of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on the treatment outcome of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is undefined and deserves an in-depth investigation. METHODS Histologically-proven CHB receiving first-line antiviral regimens as initial therapy was enrolled and grouped by the concurrence of NAFLD, and followed up at six monthly intervals. Therapeutic response related data were recorded and compared at multiple time points. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were utilized to estimate the impact of NAFLD on complete virological response (CVR). RESULTS We enrolled 267 patients (CHB: 164; CHB with NAFLD: 103) with comparable follow-up durations. They were also comparable in baseline HBV DNA levels and HBeAg positivity. Patients with concomitant NAFLD showed less significant decline in HBV DNA, qHBsAg, pgRNA, and liver enzyme levels over time; moreover, their cumulative incidences of CVR were significantly lower and that of low-level viremia (LLV) were significantly higher at 6, 12, 18, 24 months. First CVR of CHB was delayed with the presence NAFLD (11.0 vs. 7.0 months, p<0.001) and further prolonged with higher grade of liver steatosis (Grade 2-3 vs. 1: 13.0 vs. 9.0 months). On multivariate analysis, HBeAg positivity (HR: 0.650, p=0.036), grade of steatosis (G2 [HR: 0.447, p=0.004]; G3 [HR: 0.085, p=0.002]) and HBV DNA (log10 IU/mL) (HR: 0.687, p<0.001) were significantly associated with delayed CVR, whereas grade of necroinflammation (HR: 1. 758, p<0.001) accelerated the CVR. CONCLUSIONS In CHB patients receiving initial antiviral therapy, NAFLD was associated with higher levels of HBV DNA, pgRNA, and liver enzymes, and higher incidence of LLV and delayed CVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND the incidence of acute-on-chronic liver disease (AoCLD) is increasing. OBJECTIVE to investigate the clinical features and risk factors of AoCLD and construct an effective prognostic nomogram model for older patients with AoCLD. METHODS data from 3,970 patients included in the CATCH-LIFE study were used, including 2,600 and 1,370 patients in the training and validation sets, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify predictive risk factors in older individuals, and an easy-to-use nomogram was established. Performance was assessed using area under the curve, calibration plots and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS of the 3,949 patients with AoCLD, 809 were older with a higher proportion of autoimmune-related abnormalities, hepatitis C viral infection and schistosomiasis. In the older patient group, the incidence of cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), infection, ascites and gastrointestinal bleeding; neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), aspartate-to-alanine transaminase ratio (AST/ALT), creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were higher, whereas incidence of acute-on-chronic liver failure, white blood cell, platelet and haemoglobin levels; albumin, total bilirubin (TB), AST and ALT levels; international normalised ratio (INR), estimated glomerular filtration rate and blood potassium levels were lower than in the younger group. The final nomogram was developed based on the multivariate Cox analysis in training cohort using six risk factors: ascites, HE grades, NLR, TB, INR and AST/ALT. Liver transplantation-free mortality predictions were comparable between the training and validation sets. DCA showed higher net benefit for the nomograph than the treat-all or treat-none strategies, with wider threshold probabilities ranges. CONCLUSIONS our analysis will assist clinical predictions and prognoses in older patients with AoCLD.

Abstract
Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, has a wide range of biological effects, such as bile salt formation, osmotic regulation, oxidative stress inhibition, immunomodulation and neuromodulation. Taurine has been proved to be synthesized and abundant in male reproductive organs. Recently, accumulating data showed that taurine has a potential protective effect on reproductive function of male animals. In physiology, taurine can promote the endocrine function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis (HPT) axis, testicular tissue development, spermatogenesis and maturation, delay the aging of testicular structure and function, maintain the homeostasis of the testicular environment, and enhance sexual ability. In pathology, taurine supplement may be beneficial to alleviate pathological damage of male reproductive system, including oxidative damage of sperm preservation in vitro, testicular reperfusion injury and diabetes -induced reproductive complications. In addition, taurine acts as a protective agent against toxic damage to the male reproductive system by exogenous substances (e.g., therapeutic drugs, environmental pollutants, radiation). Related mechanisms include reduced oxidative stress, increased antioxidant capacity, inhibited inflammation and apoptosis, restored the secretory activity of the HPT axis, reduced chromosomal variation, enhanced sperm mitochondrial energy metabolism, cell membrane stabilization effect, etc. Therefore, this article reviewed the protective effect of taurine on male reproductive function and its detailed mechanism, in order to provide reference for further research and clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The accuracy of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and MELD with sodium (MELD-Na) scores in reflecting the clinical outcomes of patients with cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of scores in predicting 90-day mortality in patients with cirrhosis and PVT. METHODS Post hoc analysis was performed in two prospective cohorts (NCT02457637 and NCT03641872). The correlation between the MELD/MELD-Na score and 90-day liver transplantation (LT)-free mortality was investigated in patients with cirrhosis with and without PVT. RESULTS In this study, 2826 patients with cirrhosis were included, and 255 (9.02%) had PVT. The cumulative incidence of 90-day LT-free mortality did not significantly differ between patients with and without PVT (log-rank P = 0.0854). MELD [area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC), 0.649 vs. 0.842; P = 0.0036] and MELD-Na scores (AUROC, 0.691 vs. 0.851; P = 0.0108) were compared in patients with and without PVT, regarding the prediction of 90-day LT-free mortality. In MELD < 15 and MELD-Na < 20 subgroups, patients with PVT had a higher 90-day LT-free mortality than those without PVT (7.91% vs. 2.64%, log-rank P = 0.0011; 7.14% vs. 3.43%, log-rank P = 0.0223), whereas in MELD ≥ 15 and MELD-Na ≥ 20 subgroups, no significant difference was observed between patients with and without PVT. CONCLUSIONS The performance of MELD and MELD-Na scores in predicting 90-day LT-free mortality of patients with cirrhosis was compromised by PVT. MELD < 15 or MELD-Na < 20 may underestimate the 90-day LT-free mortality in patients with PVT.

Abstract
Background The accurate prediction of the outcome of hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) is impeded by population heterogeneity. The study aimed to assess the impact of underlying cirrhosis on the performance of clinical prediction models (CPMs). Methods Using data from two multicenter, prospective cohorts of patients with HBV-ACLF, the discrimination, calibration, and clinical benefit were assessed for CPMs predicting 28-day and 90-day outcomes in patients with cirrhosis and those without, respectively. Results A total of 919 patients with HBV-ACLF were identified by Chinese Group on the Study of Severe Hepatitis B (COSSH) criteria, including 675 with cirrhosis and 244 without. COSSH-ACLF IIs, COSSH-ACLFs, Chronic Liver Failure-Consortium Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure score (CLIF-C ACLFs), Tongji Prognostic Predictor Model score (TPPMs), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score (MELDs), and MELD-Sodium score (MELD-Nas) were all strong predictors of short-term mortality in patients with HBV-ACLF. In contrast to a high model discriminative capacity in ACLF without cirrhosis, each prognostic model represents a marked decline of C-index, net reclassification index (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) in predicting either 28-day or 90-day prognosis of patients with cirrhosis. The hazard analysis identified largely overlapping risk factors of poor outcomes in both subgroups, while serum bilirubin was specifically associated with short-term mortality in patients with cirrhosis and blood urea nitrogen in patients without cirrhosis. A subgroup analysis in patients with cirrhosis showed a decline of discrimination of CPMS in those with ascites or infections compared to that in those without. Conclusion Predicting the short-term outcome of HBV-ACLF by CPMs is optimal in patients without cirrhosis but limited in those with cirrhosis, at least partially due to the complicated ascites or infections.

Abstract
The acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) development is highly dynamic. Currently, no satisfactory algorithm identifies patients with HBV at risk of this complication. The aim of the study was to characterize ACLF development in hospitalized HBV-related patients without previous decompensation and to test the performance of traditional prognostic models in ruling out ACLF development within 28 days on admission we conducted a cohort study. Two multi-center cohorts with hospitalized HBV-related previous compensated patients were analyzed. Performances of MELD, MELD-Na, CLIF-C AD, and CLIF-C ACLF-D in ruling out ACLF development within 28 days were compared and further validated by ROC analyses. In the derivation cohort (n = 892), there were 102 patients developed ACLF within 28 days, with profound systemic inflammatory levels and higher 28-day mortality rate (31.4% vs. 1.0%) than those without ACLF development. The MELD score (cut-off = 18) achieved acceptable missing rate (missed/total ACLF development) at 2.9%. In the validation cohort (n = 1656), the MELD score (<18) was able to rule out ACLF development within 28 days with missing rate at 3.0%. ACLF development within 28 days were both lower than 1% (0.6%, derivation cohort; 0.5%, validation cohort) in patients with MELD < 18. While in patients with MELD ≥ 18, 26.6% (99/372, derivation cohort) and 17.8% (130/732, validation cohort) developed into ACLF within 28 days, respectively. While MELD-Na score cut-off at 20 and CLIF-AD score cut-off at 42 did not have consistent performance in our two cohorts. MELD < 18 was able to safely rule out patients with ACLF development within 28 days in HBV-related patients without previous decompensation, which had a high 28-day mortality.

Abstract
Abstract
Emerging acoustic bioassembly represents an attractive strategy to build cellular closely-packed organotypic constructs in a tunable manner for biofabrication. However, simultaneously assemble heterogenous cell types into heterocellular functional units with spatially-defined cell arrangements, such as complementary and sandwich cytoarchitectures, remains a long-lasting challenge. To overcome this challenge, herein we present an acoustic differential bioassembly technique to assemble different cell types at the distinct positions of the acoustic field based on their inherent physical characteristics including cellular size and buoyant density. Specifically, different cell types can be differentially assembled beneath the nodal or the antinode regions of the Faraday wave to form complementary cytoarchitectures, or be selectively positioned at the center or edge area beneath either the nodal or the antinode regions to form sandwich cytoarchitectures. Using this technique, we assemble hiPSC-derived liver spheroids and endothelial cells into hexagonal cytoarchitectures in vitro to mimic the cord and sinusoid structures in the hepatic lobules. This hepatic lobule model reconstitutes liver metabolic and synthetic functions, such as albumin secretion and urea production. Overall, the acoustic differential bioassembly technique facilitates the construction of human relevant in vitro organotypic models with spatially-defined heterocellular architectures, and can potentially find wide applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Background and Aim Ropeginterferon alfa‐2b is a novel mono‐pegylated, extra‐long‐acting interferon. It is administered infrequently and showed good tolerability and clinical activity for the chronic hepatitis B or C treatment in our previous Phase 2 clinical trials. This study aims to validate the potency and safety of this novel agent in a Phase 3 chronic viral hepatitis setting. Methods Patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 2 were randomized to receive subcutaneous injections of ropeginterferon alfa‐2b biweekly or the conventional pegylated interferon alfa‐2b weekly for 24 weeks, combined with ribavirin. The primary endpoint was to assess the safety and antiviral potency of ropeginterferon alfa‐2b by the non‐inferiority in sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after treatment. Results A total of 222 patients were enrolled. Ropeginterferon alfa‐2b group showed a favorable safety profile. Side effects that were generally associated with prior interferon therapies, including neutropenia, asthenia, fatigue, alopecia, dizziness, decreased appetite, nausea, flu‐like symptoms including myalgia, pyrexia, and headache, and administration site reactions, were notably less in the ropeginterferon alfa‐2b group. The cumulative incidence of adverse events of special interest was also notably higher in the control group. The primary endpoint was met and ropeginterferon alfa‐2b showed a better SVR12 rate of 79.8% than 71.9% of the control group. Conclusion Ropeginterferon alfa‐2b is efficacious and has a favorable safety profile as compared with the conventional pegylated interferon alfa‐2b. This study together with previous Phase 2 data validated ropeginterferon alfa‐2b to be a new treatment option for chronic hepatitis C genotype 2.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory response and short-term mortality in patients with non-cirrhotic chronic severe hepatitis (CSH) by using several indicators of inflammation including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil (NEU), white blood cell (WBC), platelet-to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR). METHODS Data were collected from two prospectively enrolled CATCH-LIFE noncirrhotic cohorts. Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the association between systemic inflammatory biomarkers and 90-day liver transplant (LT)-free mortality. A generalized additive model (GAM) was used to illustrate the quantitative curve relationship between NLR and 90-day LT-free mortality. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the 90-year LT-free survival. RESULTS The prevalence of CSH was 20.5% (226/1103). The 28-day and 90-day LT-free mortality rates were 17.7% and 26.1%, respectively, for patients with non-cirrhotic CSH. Patients with no infection accounted for 75.0% of all CSH patients, and NLR was independently associated with 90-day LT-free mortality. NLR of 2.9 might be related to disease deterioration in CSH patients without infection. CONCLUSIONS NLR may be an independent risk factor for 90-day LT-free mortality in patients with non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease. A NLR of 2.9 as the cut-off value can be used to predict disease aggravation in CSH patients without infection.

Abstract
Background: Conventional animal models used in corresponding basic studies are distinct from humans in terms of the brain’s development trajectory, tissue cytoarchitecture and cell types, making it difficult to accurately evaluate the potential adverse effects of anesthetic treatments on human fetal brain development. This study investigated the effects of sevoflurane on the midbrain’s development and cytopathology using human physiologically-relevant midbrain organoids. Methods: Monolayer human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-derived human floor plate cells and three-dimensional hiPSC-derived midbrain organoids (hMBOs) were exposed to 2% (v/v) sevoflurane for 2 or 6 h, followed by expansion or differentiation culture. Then, immunofluorescence, real-time PCR, EdU assay, Tunnel assay, and transcriptome sequencing were performed to examine the effects of sevoflurane on the midbrain’s development. Results: We found that 2% sevoflurane exposure inhibited hFPCs’ proliferation (differentiation culture: 7.2% ± 0.3% VS. 13.3% ± 0.7%, p = 0.0043; expansion culture: 48% ± 2.2% VS. 35.2% ± 1.4%, p = 0.0002) and increased their apoptosis, but did not affect their differentiation into human dopaminergic neurons After 6 h, 2% sevoflurane exposure inhibited cell proliferation (62.8% ± 5.6% VS. 100% ± 5.5%, p = 0.0065) and enhanced the premature differentiation of hMBOs (246% ± 5.2% VS. 100% ± 28%, p = 0.0065). The RNA-seq results showed long-term exposure to sevoflurane up regulates some transcription factors in the differentiation of dopaminergic neurons, while short-term exposure to sevoflurane has a weak up-regulation effect on these transcription factors. Conclusion: This study revealed that long-term exposure to sevoflurane could promote the premature differentiation of hMBOs, while short-term exposure had negligible effects, suggesting that long-term exposure to sevoflurane in pregnant women may lead to fetals’ midbrain development disorder.

Abstract
Combination therapy with pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) can enhance hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance. However, the specific treatment strategy and the patients who would benefit the most are unclear. Therefore, we assessed the HBsAg loss rate of add-on PEG-IFN and explored the factors associated with HBsAg loss in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This was a real-world cohort study of adults with CHB. Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative NAs-treated patients with baseline HBsAg ≤1500 IU/ml and HBV DNA < the lower limit of detection, or 100 IU/ml, received 48 weeks of add-on PEG-IFN. The primary outcome of the study was the rate of HBsAg loss at 48 weeks of combination treatment. Using multivariable logistic regression analysis, we determined factors associated with HBsAg loss. HBsAg loss in 2579 patients (mean age: 41.2 years; 80.9% male) was 36.7% (947 patients) at 48 weeks. HBsAg loss was highest in patients from south-central and southwestern China (40.0%). Factors independently associated with HBsAg loss included: increasing age (odds ratio = 0.961); being male (0.543); baseline HBsAg level (0.216); HBsAg decrease at 12 weeks (between 0.5 and 1.0 log10 IU/ml [2.405] and >1.0 log10 IU/ml [7.370]); alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increase at 12 weeks (1.365); haemoglobin (HGB) decrease at 12 weeks (1.558). There was no difference in the primary outcomes associated with the combination regimen. In conclusion, HBsAg loss by combination therapy was higher in patients from southern China than those from the north. An increased chance of HBsAg loss was associated with baseline characteristics and dynamic changes in clinical indicators.

Abstract
Two Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, moderately halophilic, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacteria, designated M5N1S17T and M5N1S15, were isolated from saline soil in Baotou, China. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the two strains clustered closely with Halomonas montanilacus PYC7WT and shared 99.1 and 99.3% sequence similarities, respectively. The average nucleotide identity based on BLAST (ANIb) and MUMmer (ANIm) values of the two strains with each other were 95.5% and 96.7%, respectively, while the ANIb and ANIm values between the two strains and 15 closer Halomonas species were 74.8-91.3% and 84.1-92.6%, respectively. The major polar lipids of M5N1S17T are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and an unidentified phospholipid. The major polar lipids of M5N1S15 are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, two unidentified phospholipids, and an unidentified lipid. The predominant ubiquinone in the two strains is Q-9. The major fatty acids of the two strains are C18:1ω6c and/or C18:1ω7c, C16:0, and C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic, and physiological results, strains M5N1S17T and M5N1S15 should be identified as a novel species of the genus Halomonas, for which Halomonas alkalisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M5N1S17T (= CGMCC 1.19023T = KCTC 92130T). The phylogenetic trees showed that Halomonas daqingensis CGMCC 1.6443T clustered tightly with Halomonas desiderata FB2T, and the two strains shared >98.0% of ANI values with each other. Therefore, we propose the reclassification of H. daqingensis Wu et al. 2008 as a later heterotypic synonym of H. desiderata Berendes et al. 1996.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune liver disease (AILD) has been considered a relatively uncommon disease in China, epidemiological data for AILD in patients with cirrhosis and acute decompensation (AD) is sparse.
AIM To investigate the prevalence, outcome and risk factors for AILD in cirrhotic patients complicated with AD in China.
METHODS We collected data from patients with cirrhosis and AD from two prospective, multicenter cohorts in hepatitis B virus endemic areas. Patients were regularly followed up at the end of 28-d, 90-d and 365-d, or until death or liver transplantation (LT). The primary outcome in this study was 90-d LT-free mortality. Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) was assessed on admission and during 28-d hospitalization, according to the diagnostic criteria of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL). Risk factors for death were analyzed with logistic regression model.
RESULTS In patients with cirrhosis and AD, the overall prevalence of AILD was 9.3% (242/2597). Prevalence of ACLF was significantly lower in AILD cases (14%) than those with all etiology groups with cirrhosis and AD (22.8%) (P < 0.001). Among 242 enrolled AILD patients, the prevalence rates of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and PBC-AIH overlap syndrome (PBC/AIH) were 50.8%, 28.5% and 12.0%, respectively. In ACLF patients, the proportions of PBC, AIH and PBC/AIH were 41.2%, 29.4% and 20.6%. 28-d and 90-d mortality were 43.8% and 80.0% in AILD-related ACLF. The etiology of AILD had no significant impact on 28-d, 90-d or 365-d LT-free mortality in patients with cirrhosis and AD in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Total bilirubin (TB), hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were independent risk factors for 90-d LT-free mortality in multivariate analysis. The development of ACLF during hospitalization only independently correlated to TB and international normalized ratio.
CONCLUSION AILD was not rare in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis and AD in China, among which PBC was the most common etiology. 90-d LT-free mortality were independently associated with TB, HE and BUN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Evidence for using bicyclol in drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is limited. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of bicyclol in acute DILI. METHODS This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, double-dummy, active-controlled, superiority and phase II trial. Patients with idiosyncratic acute DILI were randomized 1: 1:1 to low-dose bicyclol (25 mg times a day [TID]), high-dose bicyclol (50 mg TID) and polyene phosphatidylcholine (control) groups. The primary endpoint was the decrease from baseline in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels at post-treatment for 4 weeks. RESULTS Overall, 241 patients were included in the full analysis set, with 81, 82 and 78 patients in the low-dose bicyclol, high-dose bicyclol, and control groups respectively. ALT levels decreased across groups (-249.2 ± 151.1, -273.6 ± 203.1, and -180.8 ± 218.2 U/L in the low-dose bicyclol, high-dose bicyclol and control groups, respectively; both p < .001, the bicyclol-dependent groups vs. control group). The ALT normalization rates at weeks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 were higher in the bicyclol-dependent groups than in the control group (p = .002 at week 1 and all p < .001 at weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 respectively). The median times to ALT normalization in the low-dose bicyclol, high-dose bicyclol and control groups were 29, 16 and 43 days respectively. Adverse events, serious adverse events and adverse drug reactions were similar across groups. CONCLUSIONS Bicyclol (25 and 50 mg TID) appeared efficacious and safe for treating idiosyncratic acute DILI, while bicyclol 50 mg TID showed higher efficacy. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER www.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics of intestinal microecology in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) model mice. METHODS C57BL/6 male mice aged 2 weeks were divided into normal control group and HCC model group. Mice in HCC model group were exposed to a single intraperitoneal injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) 2 weeks after birth; the surviving mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene (TCPOBOP), once every 2 weeks for 8 times starting from the 4 th week after birth. Mice in each group were randomly selected and sacrificed at 10 th, 18 th and 32 nd weeks after birth, respectively, the liver tissue samples were obtained for histopathological examination. At the 32 nd week, all mice in both groups were sacrificed and the feces samples were collected under sterile conditions right before the sacrifice. The feces samples were sequenced for the V3-V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene, and the species abundance, flora diversity and phenotype, as well as flora correlation and functional prediction were analyzed. RESULTS Alpha diversity analysis showed that all Good's coverage reached the maximum value of 1.00, and the differences in the Observed features, Chao1 index, Shannon index and Simpson index of the intestinal flora of mice between normal control group and HCC model group were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Beta diversity analysis showed that PCoA based on weighted or unweighted Unifrac distances all yielded R>0, confirming that the intra-group differences of the samples were less than the inter-group differences; the trend of separation between the two groups was significant ( P<0.05). Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Patescibacteria were the dominant taxa at the phylum level in both normal control group and HCC model group. However, compared with normal control group, the abundance of Bacteroidetes in HCC model group was significantly decreased ( P<0.01), while the abundance of Patescibacteria was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Moreover, the dominant taxa at the genus level in normal control group mainly included Muribaculaceae_unclassified, Paramuribaculum, Muribaculum, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A 136 group, Olsenella. The dominant taxa at the genus level in HCC model group mainly included Akkermansia, Dubosiella, Muribaculaceae_unclassified, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A 136 group, Coriobacteriaceae_UCG-002. There were 30 genera with statistically significant differences in relative abundance at the genus level between the two groups (all P<0.05). LEfSe analysis of the intestinal flora of mice in the two groups revealed a total of 14 multi-level differential taxa (all P<0.05, LDA score>4.0), which were mainly enriched in Bacteroidetes. The enrichment of 10 differential taxa including Bacteroidetes, Bacteroidia, Bacteroidales, Muribaculaceae, etc. were found in normal control group, and the enrichment of 4 differential taxa including Dubosiella, Peptostreptococus, etc. were found in HCC model group. There were both positive and negative correlations between the dominant intestinal genera in normal control group (|rho|>0.5, P<0.05), while the correlations of the dominant intestinal genera in HCC model group, being less complex than that in normal control group, were all positive. The relative abundance of gram positive and mobile element containing in the intestinal flora of mice in HCC model group was significantly up-regulated compared with normal control group (both P<0.05), while that of gram negative ( P<0.05) and pathogenic potential ( P<0.05) was significantly down-regulated. The metabolic pathways of the intestinal flora in the two groups were significantly different. For instance, 18 metabolic pathways were enriched in normal control group (all P<0.005), including those related to energy metabolism, cell division, nucleotide metabolism, etc., while 12 metabolic pathways were enriched in HCC model group (all P<0.005), including those related to energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, etc. Conclusions: The amount of intestinal flora in DEN-induced primary HCC model mice decreased, and the composition, correlation, phenotype and function of the intestinal flora in mice were significantly altered. Bacteroidetes at the phylum level, as well as several microbial taxa at the genus level such as Muribaculaceae_unclassified, Muribaculum, Peptostreptococus and Dubosiella could be closely associated with DEN-induced primary HCC in mice.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the hepatic pathological inflammation and fibrosis condition in order to explore the relationship with related clinical indicators in patients with chronic hepatitis B patients with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Methods: 721 cases of chronic hepatitis B with normal ALT who were initially diagnosed in the Department of Infectious Diseases of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from August 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. Liver biopsy was performed in all patients. General data of patients such as gender, age, liver function indexes, blood routine indexes, HBsAg level, HBeAg status, HBV DNA level, spleen thickness and prothrombin time were collected. Univariate and multivariate analysis methods were used to determine the influencing factors of inflammation and fibrosis degree with liver biopsy. A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the established multi-factor prediction model. Alpha=0.05 was considered as a standard orientation of test. Results: The average age of 721 cases with chronic hepatitis B was 36.1±9.7 years, and the male to female ratio was 1.28/1, with inflammation and fibrosis grade mainly concentrated in G1S1 (349 cases), G1S2 (132 cases), G2S2 (119 cases), and G2S1 (57 cases). Among them, there were 349 (48.4%) cases of G1S1, and 372 (51.6%) cases of G/S≥2. The main manifestations were mild to moderate inflammation and fibrosis, and only 64 (8.88%) cases had severe G/S≥3. HBsAg level (stratified with 4 log10 IU/ml as the boundary) analyzed in 721 cases were correlated with the relevant clinical indicators stratification and liver pathological inflammation and fibrosis, and the difference was statistically significant (inflammation grade, χ2=6.182, P=0.013; Fibrosis grade, χ2=36.534, P=0.001). Univariate analysis of the relevant clinical indicators that may influence the patient's liver pathological G/S ≥2 showed the patient's age, albumin, γ- glutamyltransferase (GGT), platelet, prothrombin time (PT), spleen thickness and HBsAg level were all statistically significant (P<0.05), while multivariate analysis showed that age, GGT, PT, and spleen thickness had statistical differences (P<0.05). The prediction model was established in accordance to multivariate analysis, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.642. Maximization of the sum of sensitivity and specificity as cut-off value of Logit P=0.497, the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and Youden's index were 60.6%, 64.5%, and 0.252, respectively. Conclusion: More than half of patients with chronic hepatitis B with normal ALT have significant inflammation and fibrosis and require timely antiviral therapy. Age, GGT, PT and spleen thickness can help comprehensively evaluate the liver inflammation and fibrosis status among patients, but the lack of accurate prediction models suggests that more effective indicators that can help predict the inflammation and fibrosis status of such patients have yet to be discovered. Therefore, liver biopsy should still be actively performed in patients with normal ALT to confirm the diagnosis and timely treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis B virus infection frequently leads to liver fibrosis and is the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis in Asia Pacific. Pirfenidone is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and hydronidone is a novel structural modification of pirfenidone with the aim of reducing hepatoxicity. We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of hydronidone in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-associated liver fibrosis. METHODS This was a 52-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II study at 8 centers in China. Patients with CHB with biopsied documented liver fibrosis were eligible and were randomly assigned into receiving daily placebo or hydronidone orally (180 mg/day, 270 mg/day, or 360 mg/day). All enrolled subjects also received entecavir 0.5 mg/day. A second liver biopsy was performed at week 52. The primary endpoint was defined as fibrosis improvement (reduction of at least 1 Ishak score at week 52 of treatment). RESULTS From June 25, 2015, to September 5, 2019, 168 patients with CHB and liver fibrosis met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and were subsequently randomized, 43 in the placebo group and 125 in the hydronidone groups (42 in the 180-mg group, 42 in the 270-mg group, and 41 in the 360-mg group). The fibrosis improvement endpoint was achieved by 11 patients (25.6%) in the placebo group and 17 patients (40.5%) in the 180-mg group (P = .12), 23 patients (54.8%) in the 270-mg group (P = .006), and 18 patients (43.90%) in the 360-mg group (P = .08). The improvement rate was 58 of 125 (46.4%) in the combined hydronidone group (P = .014). The overall safety profile and incidence of serious adverse events were similar among the groups. CONCLUSIONS Hydronidone plus entecavir showed clinically significant histological improvement of liver fibrosis in patients with CHB, and the dose of 270 mg showed the best efficacy of fibrosis regression. Further studies are required to assess the long-term effectiveness of hydronidone in regression of hepatic fibrosis. CLINICALTRIALS gov number, NCT02499562.

Abstract
Background and AimsHepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation is a serious condition and has been extensively described in chemotherapeutic immunosuppressive population. However, little is known about HBV reactivation in immunocompetent patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). In this study, we evaluated the prevalence and the clinical significance of HBV reactivation in CHB patients with acute exacerbations.MethodPatients were screened from two prospective multicenter observational cohorts (CATCH-LIFE cohort). A total of 1,020 CHB patients with previous antiviral treatment history were included to assess the prevalence, risk factors, clinical characteristics of HBV reactivation, and its influence on the progression of chronic liver disease.ResultsThe prevalence of HBV reactivation was 51.9% in CHB patients with acute exacerbations who had antiviral treatment history in our study. Among the 529 patients with HBV reactivation, 70.9% of them were triggered by discontinued antiviral treatment and 5.9% by nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs) resistance. The prevalence of antiviral treatment disruption and NUCs resistance in patients with HBV reactivation is much higher than that in the patients without (70.9% vs. 0.2%, and 5.9% vs. 0, respectively, both p < 0.001). Stratified and interaction analysis showed that HBV reactivation was correlated with high short-term mortality in cirrhosis subgroup (HR = 2.1, p < 0.001). Cirrhotic patients with HBV reactivation had a significantly higher proportion of developing hepatic failure (45.0% vs. 20.3%, p < 0.001), acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF; 31.4% vs. 21.8%, p = 0.005), and short-term death (14.0% vs. 5.9% for 28-day, and 23.3% vs. 12.4% for 90-day, both p < 0.001) than those without. HBV reactivation is an independent risk factor of 90-day mortality for cirrhosis patients (OR = 1.70, p = 0.005), as well as hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, and bacterial infection.ConclusionThis study clearly demonstrated that there was a high prevalence of HBV reactivation in CHB patients, which was mainly triggered by discontinued antiviral treatment. The HBV reactivation strongly increased the risk of developing hepatic failure, ACLF and short-term death in HBV-related cirrhotic patients, which may suggest that HBV reactivation would be a new challenge in achieving the WHO target of 65% reduction in mortality from hepatitis B by 2030.

Abstract
Background: Both tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir (ETV) are known to reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This study aimed to compare the difference in HCC risk reduction between TDF and ETV in treatment-naïve patients with CHB-related compensated cirrhosis. Methods: Patients with compensated cirrhosis initially treated with TDF or ETV at nine Chinese hospitals between June 2014 and March 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective study. The cumulative HCC incidence rates for the two drugs were compared for the entire cohort, and a subgroup analysis was performed according to the HCC risk scores. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to control confounding biases. Results: The analysis included 1453 patients (TDF group, n = 188; ETV group, n = 1265). Ninety-five patients developed HCC, with a median follow-up period of 26.1 months. The 3-year HCC incidence was 2.0% in the TDF group and 7.5% in the ETV group (log-rank p = 0.005). TDF treatment was associated with a lower risk of HCC than ETV treatment [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.222, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.070–0.702, p = 0.010] but was similar after PSM (HR = 0.483, 95% CI, 0.144–1.626, p = 0.240; log-rank p = 0.230). However, subgroup analysis showed that the cumulative HCC incidence was lower in the TDF group than in the ETV group among patients with a modified PAGE-B score (mPAGE-B) ⩾9, either before or after PSM (log-rank p = 0.048 and p = 0.023, respectively). Conclusion: Among patients with an mPAGE-B score ⩾9, TDF is associated with a lower HCC incidence than ETV in patients with CHB-related compensated cirrhosis.

Abstract
Abstract
End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome that markedly increases mortality in patients with infections. In patients with ESLD, infections can induce or aggravate the occurrence of liver decompensation. Consequently, infections are among the most common complications of disease progression. There is a lack of working procedure for early diagnosis and appropriate management for patients with ESLD complicated by infections as well as local and international guidelines or consensus. This consensus assembled up-to-date knowledge and experience across Chinese colleagues, providing data on principles as well as working procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with ESLD complicated by infections.

Abstract
Two Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, strictly aerobic, yellow-coloured, rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated LR1S40T and M4N3S171T, were isolated from rhizosphere and bulk saline soil of Suaeda salsa collected in Inner Mongolia, China. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences showed that the two strains clustered tightly with strains of the genus
Ruania
. Strains LR1S40T and M4N3S171T had 95.5% 16S rRNA gene similarity to each other, and strain LR1S40T had 98.8, 98.7, 97.4 and <97.0% similarity to
Ruania alkalisoli
RN3S43T,
Ruania rhizosphaerae
LNNU 22110T,
Ruania alba
YIM 93306T and all other current type strains, while strain M4N3S171T had 98.6 and <97.0% similarity to
R. alba
YIM 93306T, and all other current type strains, respectively. The average nucleotide identity based on blast (ANIb) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of LR1S40T and M4N3S171T with each other and to the other type strains of
Ruania
were well below the threshold values (95% for ANIb, 70% for dDDH) for differentiating a species. Diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids in both strains. The predominant menaquinone in both strains was both MK-8. The genome of strain LR1S40T consisted of a 3557440 bp circular chromosome, with a G+C content of 71.1 mol%, while the genome of strain M4N3S171T consisted of 4270413 bp, with a G+C content of 67.6 mol%. The phylogenetic, physiological and phenotypic characteristics allowed discrimination of the two strains from their relatives. The names Ruania suaedae sp. nov. [type strain LR1S40T (=CGMCC 1.19028T=KCTC 49726T)] and Ruania halotolerans sp. nov. [type strain M4N3S171T (=CGMCC 1. 19142T=KCTC 49727T)] are therefore proposed. During the publication of
Haloactinobacterium kanbiaonis
,
Haloactinobacterium glacieicola
(type strain T3246-1T), which was selected as the reference strain for the identification of
H. kanbiaonis
, was reclassified as
Occultella glacieicola
. The two phylogenetic trees showed that
H. kanbiaonis
HY164T tightly clustered with
Occultella aeris
F300T, and had the highest 16S rRNA gene similarity (99.8%) to
O. aeris
F300T. Based on the phylogenetic analysis and the publication record,
Haloactinobacterium kanbiaonis
should be reclassified as Occultella kanbiaonis comb. nov.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pradefovir is a liver-targeted prodrug of adefovir, a nucleoside/nucleotide analogue with antiviral activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase. This phase 2 study compared the efficacy and safety of oral pradefovir (30, 45, 60, or 75 mg) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF; 300 mg) and aimed to identify the most appropriate dose of pradefovir for the forthcoming phase 3 study. METHODS Treatment-naive and experienced (not on treatment >6 months) patients with chronic hepatitis B were eligible. RESULTS A total of 240 participants were randomized and treated in the study (48 per group). Approximately 80% were hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive, and 10% had liver cirrhosis. The reductions from baseline in HBV DNA levels achieved at week 24 were 5.40, 5.34, 5.33, and 5.40 log10 IU/mL, with pradefovir doses of 30-, 45-, 60-, and 75-mg, respectively, compared with 5.12 log10 IU/mL with TDF. However, HBeAg loss was attained by more participants who received 45-, 60-, or 75-mg pradefovir than by those receiving TDF (12%, 6%, and 9% vs 3%). The TDF group exhibited a more significant increase in serum creatinine than the pradefovir 30- and 45-mg groups, and serum phosphate levels were comparable among all groups. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild (grade 1). No treatment-related severe AEs were reported. Overall, AEs and laboratory abnormalities were comparable to those in the TDF group. CONCLUSIONS Pradefovir and TDF exhibited comparable reductions in HBV DNA levels. All treatments were safe and well tolerated. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NCT00230503 and China Drug Trials CTR2018042.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-sporulating, motile with single polar flagellum, rod-shaped, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-producing bacterium, named M4U5P12T, was isolated from a shoot of Kalidium cuspidatum, Inner Mongolia, China. Strain M4U5P12T grew at pH 6.0-11.0 (optimum 7.5), 4-40 °C (optimum 25 °C), and in the presence of 0-15% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 4%). Positive for catalase, urease, methyl red (M.R.) reaction, and hydrolysis of starch; and negative for oxidase, Voges-Proskauer (V-P) test, and hydrolysis of cellulose. The phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences and the whole genome sequences both revealed that it clustered with Marinilactibacillus piezotolerans JCM 12337T (99.3%) and Marinilactibacillus psychrotolerans M13-2T (99.1%). The dDDH and ANIb values of strain M4U5P12T to M. piezotolerans DSM 16108T and M. psychrotolerans M13-2T were 19.3 and 18.9%, and 74.3 and 74.0%, respectively. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid, and two unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids were C16:0, C18:1 ω9c, C16:1 ω9c, and C15:1 ω5c. The genomic DNA G + C content was 37.3%. On the basis of physiological, phenotypic, and phylogenetic characteristics, strain M4U5P12T should be classified as a novel species. Therefore, Marinilactibacillus kalidii sp. nov. is proposed, and the type strain is M4U5P12T (= CGMCC 1.17696T = KCTC 43247T).

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), one of the most detrimental microvascular complications of diabetes, is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. The pathogenesis of DN is complicated, including hemodynamic changes, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, among others. Recently, many studies have demonstrated that mitophagy, especially PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of DN. Erythropoietin (EPO), a glycoprotein hormone mainly secreted by the kidney, regulates the production of erythrocytes. This research intends to explore the beneficial effects of EPO on DN and investigate related mechanisms. In in vitro experiments, we found that EPO promoted autophagic flux and alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction in terms of mitochondrial fragmentation, elevated mitochondrial ROS as well as the loss of mitochondrial potential, and lowered the apoptosis level in high-glucose-treated mesangial cells. Moreover, EPO increased protein expressions of PINK1 and Parkin, enhanced the co-localization of LC3 with mitochondria, Parkin with mitochondria as well as LC3 with Parkin, and increased the number of GFP-LC3 puncta, resulting in increased level of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in mesangial cells. The knockdown of PINK1 abrogated the effect of EPO on mitophagy. In addition, in vivo experiments demonstrated that EPO attenuated renal injury, reduced oxidative stress, and promoted expressions of genes related to PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in the kidneys of DN mice. In summary, these results suggest that PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy is involved in the development of DN and EPO mitigates DN by restoring PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a first-line treatment for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for its high potency and a low rate of drug resistance. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of TDF in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection after treatment failure with multiple nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). METHODS Patients included were aged 18-65 years, with treatment failure with multiple NAs (serum HBV DNA > 200 IU/mL after more than two different NA treatments). The primary endpoint was proportion of patients with serum HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL at Week 144 of TDF monotherapy. Secondary endpoints and safety were also assessed. RESULTS Overall, 213 patients were enrolled. At Week 144, mean HBV DNA decreased significantly from baseline (4.4 vs 1.4 log10 IU/mL), with 77.0% patients (95% confidence interval: 71.1, 82.9) achieving serum HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL. Three (1.4%) patients experienced virological breakthrough during TDF monotherapy, without hepatitis flare. At Week 144, 15.3% and 4.7% patients (hepatitis B e antigen [HBeAg]-positive at baseline) experienced HBeAg loss and HBeAg seroconversion, respectively; 68.3% patients achieved normalized alanine aminotransferase levels. Overall, 58.7% patients experienced more than one adverse event (AE). Most common AEs were upper respiratory tract infection and blood creatine phosphokinase increase; 8.5% patients experienced study drug-related AEs; 9.4% patients experienced serious AEs (none were TDF-related). Among renal safety parameters, overall trend of mean serum phosphorous level remained stable, while mean estimated glomerular filtration rate increased slightly. CONCLUSIONS Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate monotherapy is efficacious in CHB patients with multiple NAs treatment failure with no new safety findings.
