Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of simultaneous arthroscopic repair of anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) for treating chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) in conjunction with subtalar instability (STI). Methods: This study is a retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 15 patients with ankle arthroscopic in the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2019 to December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 11 male cases and 4 female cases, aged (28.6±1.5) years (range: 19 to 39 years). All the patients were evaluated by manual inversion stress X-ray and MRI before operation. Arthroscopically observing and then repairing the ATFL and CFL separately after further diagnostic confirmation. One year after operation, MRI was performed, and visual analogue (VAS) pain scores, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle hindfoot scale (AOFAS-AH) and Karlsson ankle functional scale(KAFS) were evaluated. Data were compared using paired sample t test. Results: The follow-up period was (22.6±2.3) months (range: 12 to 30 months). At last follow-up,the VAS decreased from 6.1±1.4 preoperatively to 1.4±1.2(t=9.482, P<0.01). The AOFAS-AH improved from 50.5±11.7 preoperatively to 94.2±6.1(t=-13.132, P<0.01), and the KAFS improved from preoperatively 44.3±10.8 to 90.8±6.4 (t=-12.510, P<0.01). There were no complications such as recurred instability or joint stiffness. Conclusions: Arthroscopically repairing the ATFL and CFL separately can effectively restore the stability of the ankle and subtalar joint with small trauma. Patients can recover quickly after surgery. It provides a new idea for the clinical treatment of CLAI combined with STI.

Abstract
A visible-light-driven iron-catalyzed C(sp3)-H amination of diphenylmethane derivatives with 1,2,3,4-tetrazoles under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction proceeds with photosensitizer-free conditions and features satisfactory to good yields. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeded via an iron-nitrene intermediate, and H atom abstraction was the rate-determining step. Computational studies showed that the denitrogenation of 1,2,3,4-tetrazole depends on the conversion of the sextet ground state of 1,2,3,4-tetrazole-bounding iron species to the quartet spin state under visible-light irradiation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effects of pedicled omental flap transplantation in repairing secondary rejection wounds after brain pacemaker implantation. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January to August 2021, 5 patients with secondary rejection wounds after brain pacemaker implantation who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Wound Repair Center of Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, including 3 males and 2 females, aged 56-69 years, with the wound developed at the pulse generator implantation site in the chest in 2 cases, at the connection site of the wire and electrode behind the ear in 2 cases, and at both the chest and the back of the ear in 1 case. All the wounds were repaired by pedicled omental flap transplantation. The wound area after debridement was 2-15 cm2. After operation, the wound healing and related complications (pain, infection, incisional hernia, omental flap necrosis, etc.) were observed. During follow-up, the recurrence of the wound was observed. Results: The wounds of all 5 patients healed within 2 weeks after operation, without related complications. During follow up of 12-18 months, 1 patient got a recurrence of rejection wound behind the left ear 4 months after surgery and eventually had the brain pacemaker removed; the other 4 patients had no recurrence of wounds. Conclusions: Pedicled omental flap transplantation can repair the secondary rejection wounds after brain pacemaker implantation safely and effectively, with few postoperative complications.

Abstract
A visible-light-driven Mn-catalyzed C(sp3)-H amidation of diphenylmethane derivatives with dioxazolones was described. These reactions occur with an external photosensitizer-free process and feature satisfactory to good yields (up to 81%) under mild conditions. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction proceeded via a Mn-acyl nitrene intermediate and that H-atom abstraction was the rate-determining step. Computational studies showed that the decarboxylation of dioxazolone depends on the conversion of ground sextet state dioxazolone-bounding Mn species to quartet spin state via visible-light irradiation.

Abstract
Aberrant DNA methylation of genes is closely linked to many aspects of tumor development. This study focuses on the effect of DNA hypermethylation of von Willebrand factor C domain containing 2 (VWC2) on colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and the underpinning mechanism. According to data in the bioinformatic systems, VWC2 had the highest degree of DNA methylation in colonic adenocarcinoma, and it showed DNA hypermethylation in rectal adenocarcinoma as well. CRC and the para-tumorous tissues were collected from 86 patients. VWC2 was expressed at low levels in CRC samples and inversely correlated with tumor stage and tumor biomarker expression. DNA hypermethylation and reduced expression of VWC2 were also detected in CRC cell lines HCT-116 and HT29. VWC2 overexpression suppressed the malignant growth of cells in vitro and in vivo. Co-immunoprecipitation and western blot assays showed that small ubiquitin-like modifier 1 (SUMO1) mediated SUMOylation of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and strengthened its protein stability, which promoted DNA methylation and suppression of the VWC2 gene. In summary, this study demonstrates that SUMO1-mediated activation of DNMT1 induces DNA methylation and downregulation of VWC2 in CRC to augment cancer development.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of deep dermal tissue dislocation injury on skin fibrosis in pig, in order to provide some theoretical basis for burn scar treatment. Methods: The experimental research method was applied. Six 2-month-old female Duroc pigs were taken. Fifteen operative areas on the right dorsum of pigs on which medium-thick skin grafts and deep dermal tissue slices were cut and re-implanted were included into dermal in situ reimplantation group, and fifteen operative areas on the left dorsum of pigs on which medium-thick skin grafts and deep dermal tissue slices were cut and the deep dermal tissue slice was placed under the fat layer were included into the dermal dislocation group. The hair growth in the operative areas on post-injury day (PID) 7, 14, and 21 and the cross-sectional structure on PID 14 were observed in the two groups. On PID 7, 14, and 21, the skin thickness (the distance from the epidermis to the upper edge of the fat), the dermal thickness (the distance from the lower edge of the epidermis to the upper edge of the fat, excluding the fibrotic tissue thickness between the dermis and the fat), and the fibrosis tissue thickness of the dermis-fat interface (from the lower edge of the deep dermis to the upper edge of the fat in dermal in situ reimplantation group and from the lower edge of the superficial dermis to the upper edge of the fat in dermal dislocation group) in the operative areas were measured and compared between the two groups; the fibrotic tissue thickness at the dermal cutting interface (from the lower edge of the superficial dermis to the upper edge of the deep dermis) in the operative areas in dermal in situ reimplantation group was measured and compared with the fibrotic tissue thickness at the dermal-fat interface. Sirius red staining was performed to observe and compare the type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen content in the dermal-fat interface in the operative areas between the 2 groups and between the dermal cutting interface and dermal-fat interface in the operative areas in dermal in situ reimplantation group. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the positive expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the operative areas in the two groups. The sample number was 6. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test. Results: On PID 7, 14, and 21, the hairs in the operative areas in dermal in situ reimplantation group were denser than those in dermal dislocation group. On PID 14, the skin cross section in the operative areas in dermal dislocation group showed a "sandwich"-like structure, while the skin cross section in the operative areas in dermal in situ reimplantation group had normal structure. On PID 7, 14, and 21, the skin thickness in the operative areas in dermal dislocation group was (4 234±186), (4 688±360), and (4 548±360) μm, respectively, which was close to (4 425±156), (4 714±141), and (4 310±473) μm in dermal in situ reimplantation group (P>0.05); the dermal thickness in the operative areas in dermal dislocation group was significantly thinner than that in dermal in situ reimplantation group (with t values of -9.73, -15.85, and -15.41, respectively, P<0.01); the fibrotic tissue thickness at the dermal-fat interface in the operative areas in dermal dislocation group was significantly thicker than that in dermal in situ reimplantation group (with t values of 14.48, 20.58, and 15.67, respectively, P<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference between the fibrotic tissue thickness at the dermal-fat interface and the dermal cutting interface in the operative areas in dermal in situ reimplantation group (P>0.05). On PID 7, 14, 21, the type Ⅲ collagen content in the dermal-fat interface in the operative areas in dermal dislocation group was increased significantly compared with that in dermal in situ replantation group (with t values of 2.65, 0.61, and 7.39, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01), whereas there were no statistically significant differences in the type Ⅰ collagen content at the dermal-fat interface in the operative areas between the 2 groups (P>0.05) and the type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen content between the dermal-fat interface and the dermal cutting interface in the operative areas in dermal in situ reimplantation group (P>0.05). On PID 7, 14, and 21, PCNA, TGF-β1, FGF-2, and HGF were positively expressed in the superficial dermis and adipose tissue in the operative areas in dermal dislocation group, while PCNA, TGF-β1, FGF-2, and HGF were positively expressed in the superficial dermis, deep dermis, and adipose tissue in the operative areas in dermal in situ reimplantation group. Conclusions: Inadequate intrinsic thickness of dermal tissue is the key factor causing fibrosis, and the biological purpose of fibrosis is to "compensate" the intrinsic thickness of the skin. Besides, adipose tissue may also be an important component of fibrotic skin repair.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical epidemiological characteristics including composition of pathogens , clinical characteristics, and disease prognosis acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) in Chinese children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and laboratory data of 1 610 children <15 years of age with ABM in 33 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2019 to December 2020. Patients were divided into different groups according to age,<28 days group, 28 days to <3 months group, 3 months to <1 year group, 1-<5 years of age group, 5-<15 years of age group; etiology confirmed group and clinically diagnosed group according to etiology diagnosis. Non-numeric variables were analyzed with the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, while non-normal distrituction numeric variables were compared with nonparametric test. Results: Among 1 610 children with ABM, 955 were male and 650 were female (5 cases were not provided with gender information), and the age of onset was 1.5 (0.5, 5.5) months. There were 588 cases age from <28 days, 462 cases age from 28 days to <3 months, 302 cases age from 3 months to <1 year of age group, 156 cases in the 1-<5 years of age and 101 cases in the 5-<15 years of age. The detection rates were 38.8% (95/245) and 31.5% (70/222) of Escherichia coli and 27.8% (68/245) and 35.1% (78/222) of Streptococcus agalactiae in infants younger than 28 days of age and 28 days to 3 months of age; the detection rates of Streptococcus pneumonia, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus agalactiae were 34.3% (61/178), 14.0% (25/178) and 13.5% (24/178) in the 3 months of age to <1 year of age group; the dominant pathogens were Streptococcus pneumoniae and the detection rate were 67.9% (74/109) and 44.4% (16/36) in the 1-<5 years of age and 5-<15 years of age . There were 9.7% (19/195) strains of Escherichia coli producing ultra-broad-spectrum β-lactamases. The positive rates of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture and blood culture were 32.2% (515/1 598) and 25.0% (400/1 598), while 38.2% (126/330)and 25.3% (21/83) in CSF metagenomics next generation sequencing and Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen detection. There were 4.3% (32/790) cases of which CSF white blood cell counts were normal in etiology confirmed group. Among 1 610 children with ABM, main intracranial imaging complications were subdural effusion and (or) empyema in 349 cases (21.7%), hydrocephalus in 233 cases (14.5%), brain abscess in 178 cases (11.1%), and other cerebrovascular diseases, including encephalomalacia, cerebral infarction, and encephalatrophy, in 174 cases (10.8%). Among the 166 cases (10.3%) with unfavorable outcome, 32 cases (2.0%) died among whom 24 cases died before 1 year of age, and 37 cases (2.3%) had recurrence among whom 25 cases had recurrence within 3 weeks. The incidences of subdural effusion and (or) empyema, brain abscess and ependymitis in the etiology confirmed group were significantly higher than those in the clinically diagnosed group (26.2% (207/790) vs. 17.3% (142/820), 13.0% (103/790) vs. 9.1% (75/820), 4.6% (36/790) vs. 2.7% (22/820), χ2=18.71, 6.20, 4.07, all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the unfavorable outcomes, mortility, and recurrence between these 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The onset age of ABM in children is usually within 1 year of age, especially <3 months. The common pathogens in infants <3 months of age are Escherichia coli and Streptococcus agalactiae, and the dominant pathogen in infant ≥3 months is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Subdural effusion and (or) empyema and hydrocephalus are common complications. ABM should not be excluded even if CSF white blood cell counts is within normal range. Standardized bacteriological examination should be paid more attention to increase the pathogenic detection rate. Non-culture CSF detection methods may facilitate the pathogenic diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors of hidden blood loss in osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures during percutaneous vertebral augmentation. METHODS From October 2018 to December 2019, 360 patients with osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures who received percutaneous vertebral augmentation were enrolled in this study. The factors analyzed included gender, age, surgical methods, disease course, height, weight, the operative segment, bone mineral density, amount of bone cement, operative time, percentage of height loss, percentage of vertebral height restoration, cement leakage, blood clotting function, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit and other internal diseases. Total blood loss was calculated by Gross's formula, influential factors of the hidden blood loss were further analyzed by t-test, multivariate linear regression and one-way ANOVA analysis. RESULTS Surgical methods, the operative segment, disease course, cement leakage, preoperative hemoglobin, cement leakage via the basivertebral and segmental vein were significantly correlated with hidden blood loss(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Patients with percutaneous kyphoplasty, two-level and multi-level surgery, the course of the disease beyond 6 weeks, cement leakage via the basivertebral and segmental vein, and lower preoperative hemoglobin had more perioperative hidden blood loss.

Abstract
According to a document issued by the General Office of National Health Commission, "one person, one diagnosis, and one room" is required in the process of outpatient consultation. However, the patient will need to go to another room for dressing change after the doctor checks the wound if sticking to the conventional layout of current wound repair specialist outpatient clinic in hospitals and following the regulation of "separation of diagnosis and treatment". To allow a patient walking back and forth with the exposed wounds to different clinics or going to another clinic for dressing change with the original dressing reapplied to the wound is against the regulation of nosocomial infection control and the principle of sterility. To ensure that the layout of the outpatient clinic in the wound repair outpatient department not only conforms to the principle of "one person, one diagnosis, and one room", but also meets the characteristics of the diagnosis and treatment process of chronic wounds, this paper proposes the layout of "large space and small partition" in the wound repair clinic.

Abstract
Herein, visible-light-driven iron-catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions with dioxazolones for intermolecular C(sp3 )-N, N=S, and N=P bond formation are described. These reactions occur with exogenous-ligand-free process and feature satisfactory to excellent yields (up to 99 %), an ample substrate scope (109 examples) under mild reaction conditions. In contrast to intramolecular C-H amidations strategies, an intermolecular regioselective C-H amidation via visible-light-induced nitrene transfer reactions is devised. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway. Computational studies show that the decarboxylation of dioxazolone depends on the conversion of ground sextet state dioxazolone-bounding iron species to quartet spin state via visible-light irradiation.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and long-term outcome of Langerhans cell histiocytosis with multisystem involvement (MS-LCH) in children, and to evaluate the efficacy of modified DAL-HX83/90 protocol. Methods: This retrospective study included 53 patients with MS-LCH admitted to the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2011 to May 2019. Modified DAL-HX83/90 protocol was used in all patients as an initial treatment. The patients were divided into the group with (RO+) or without (RO-) risk organ involvement. The RO+group was further divided into two groups, as RO+Ⅰ group (lung involvement only) and RO+Ⅱ group (extra-pulmonary, with or without lung involvement). The clinical characteristics and the long-term outcome were summarized. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) curves were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors including age, sex, risk organ involvement and response to 6-week induction were analyzed with Log-Rank test and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Among the 53 children with MS-LCH, 34 were male and 19 were female. The age of onset was 21 months (3 months-13 years). There 22 were in RO+group, with 12 in RO+Ⅰ group and 10 in RO+Ⅱ group, and 31 in RO-group. The follow-up period was 51 (12-144) months. The overall response rate of 6-week induction was 89% (47/53), and the recurrence rate was 30% (16/53). The 5-year EFS and OS were (67±6) % and (83±5) %, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the 5-year EFS and OS of patients who responded well to 6-week induction chemotherapy were significantly higher than those who had no response ((76±6) % vs. 0, (88±4) % vs. (41±22) %, χ2 = 34.743, 10.608, both P<0.05). The 5-year EFS and OS of RO-group were significantly higher than that of RO+group ((80±7) % vs. (49±10) %, (93±4) % vs. (70±10) %, χ2=6.022, 4.793, both P<0.05). And the 5-year EFS of RO+Ⅰ group was significantly higher than that of RO+Ⅱ group ((83±10) % vs. (10±9) %, χ2=9.501, P=0.002). While age and sex were not significantly associated with 5-year EFS and OS (all P>0.05). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that response to 6-week induction chemotherapy was the independent risk factor for EFS (HR=13.114, 95%CI 3.759-45.742, P<0.01) and OS (HR=7.748, 95%CI 1.542-38.920, P=0.013). Conclusions: Most of the children without risk organ involvement treated with modified DAL-HX83/90 protocol could achieve long-term survival. However, the children involved liver, spleen, or hematopoietic system had a high risk of disease progression and recurrence.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of postoperative residual or recurrent fibrosarcoma in children. Methods: Clinical data of 26 patients continually admitted to Shanghai Children's Medical Center between April 2004 and February 2019 with postoperative residual or recurrent fibrosarcoma were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were treated with Shanghai Children's Medical Center-rhabdomyosarcoma-1999 (SCMC-RS-99) regimen and timely radical tumor resection. Before chemotherapy, according to the surgery and imaging examination, 26 patients were divided into 2 groups: postoperative residual group and postoperative recurrent group. Clinical features and long-term follow-up results of patients were summarized. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates, Log-Rank test and Cox proportional hazards models were used for univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis of factors including age (<3 years or 3-18 years old), gender, primary tumor site, postoperative stage, disease status, ETS variant 6 (ETV6) gene and chemotherapy drugs. Results: Among 26 cases, 13 were male and 13 were female, 17 cases were in postoperative residual group and 9 cases were in postoperative recurrent group. Until the last follow-up at December 31, 2019, the median follow-up time was 73 months (ranged from 10 to 188 months).The 5-year OS and EFS rates were (86±7)% and (77±9)%. Univariate analysis showed that, the 5-year EFS rate of postoperative residual group was significantly higher than that of the postoperative recurrent group ((94±5)% vs.(63±16)%,χ(2)=5.106,P=0.024), the 5-year EFS rate of patients <3 years old was significantly higher than that of patients 3-18 years old ((94±5)% vs. (62±17)%, χ(2)=6.507, P=0.011). Gender (χ(2)=0.445), primary tumor site (χ(2)=0.258), postoperative stage (χ(2)=3.046), ETV6 gene (χ(2)=1.496), and whether doxorubicin-containing drugs in chemotherapy (χ(2)=1.692) did not exhibit significant impact on 5-EFS rate (all P>0.05). Age, postoperative stage and disease status were included in COX proportional risk model for multivariate analysis, which showed that age >3 years old (HR=8.95, 95%CI 0.73-109.50, P=0.086), stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (HR=16.50, 95%CI 0.84-321.40, P=0.065) and postoperative recurrence (HR=10.60, 95%CI 0.84-134.30, P=0.068) had no significant impact on EFS rate. Conclusion: Children with postoperative residual or postoperative recurrent fibrosarcoma still had good remission rate and long-term survival, especially young children without recurrence have a significant survival advantage.

Abstract
Mechano growth factor (MGF) is an alternatively spliced form of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) that has shown to be neuroprotective against 6-hydroxydopamine toxicity and ischemic injury in the brain. MGF also induces neural stem cell proliferation in the hippocampus and preserves olfactory function in aging mice. Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug that induces peripheral neuropathy in 30-40% of treated patients. Our studies were designed to see if MGF would protect dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons from cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity and to identify potential mechanisms that may be involved. Expression of endogenous MGF in adult DRG neurons in vivo ameliorated cisplatin-induced thermal hyperalgesia. Exogenous MGF and MGF with a cysteine added to the N-terminus (CMGF) also protected embryonic DRG neurons from cisplatin-induced cell death in vitro. Mass spectroscopy analysis of proteins bound to MGF showed that nucleolin is a key-binding partner. Antibodies against nucleolin prevented the neuroprotective effect of MGF and CMGF in culture. Both nucleolin and MGF are located in the nucleolus of DRG neurons. RNAseq of RNA associated with MGF indicated that MGF may be involved in RNA processing, protein targeting and transcription/translation. Nucleolin is an RNA binding protein that is readily shuttled between the nucleus, cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Nucleolin and MGF may work together to prevent cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity. Exploring the known mechanisms of nucleolin may help us better understand the mechanisms of cisplatin toxicity and how MGF protects DRG neurons.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the characteristics including clinical features and pulmonary computed tomography (CT) features of heart failure and COVID-19. Methods: This study was a retrospective study. A total of 7 patients with heart failure and 12 patients with COVID-19 in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between December 1, 2019 and February 15, 2020 were enrolled. The baseline clinical and imaging features of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference in age and sex between the two groups(both P>0.05), but the incidence of epidemiological contact history, fever or respiratory symptoms in the COVID-19 group was significantly higher than that in the heart failure group (12/12 vs. 0, P<0.001; 12/12 vs. 4/7, P=0.013). While the proportion of cardiovascular diseases and impaired cardiac function was significantly less than that of the heart failure group(2/12 vs.7/7, P<0.001;0 vs.7/7, P<0.001). For imaging features, both groups had ground-glass opacity and thickening of interlobular septum, but the ratio of central and gradient distribution was higher in patients with heart failure than that in patients with COVID-19 (4/7 vs. 1/12, P=0.04). In heart failure group, the ratio of the expansion of pulmonary veins was also higher (3/7 vs. 0,P=0.013), and the lung lesions can be significantly improved after effective anti-heart failure treatment. Besides, there were more cases with rounded morphology in COVID-19 group(9/12 vs. 2/7, P=0.048). Conclusions: More patients with COVID-19 have epidemiological history and fever or respiratory symptoms. There are significant differences in chest CT features, such as enlargement of pulmonary veins, lesions distribution and morphology between heart failure and COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect whether Danlou Tablet (, DLT) regulates the hypoxia-induced factor (HIF)-1 α-angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4) mRNA signaling pathway and explore the role of DLT in treating chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)-induced dyslipidemia and arteriosclerosis. METHODS The mature adipocytes were obtained from 3T3-L1 cell culturation and allocated into 8 groups including control groups (Groups 1 and 5, 0.1 mL of cell culture grade water); DLT groups (Groups 2 and 6, 0.1 mL of 1,000 µg/mL DLT submicron powder solution); dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) groups (Groups 3 and 7, DMOG and 0.1 mL of cell culture grade water); DMOG plus DLT groups (Groups 4 and 8, DMOG and 0.1 mL of 1,000 µg/mL DLT submicron powder solution). Groups 1-4 used mature adipocytes and groups 5-8 used HIF-1 α-siRNA lentivirus-transfected mature adipocytes. After 24-h treatment, real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1 α and Angptl4. In animal experiments, the CIH model in ApoE-/- mice was established. Sixteen mice were complete randomly divided into 4 groups including sham group, CIH model group [intermittent hypoxia and normal saline (2 mL/time) gavage once a day]; Angptl4 Ab group [intermittent hypoxia and Angptl4 antibody (30 mg/kg) intraperitoneally injected every week]; DLT group [intermittent hypoxia and DLT (250 mg/kg) once a day], 4 mice in each group. After 4-week treatment, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the expression levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG). Hematoxylin-eosin and CD68 staining were used to observe the morphological properties of arterial plaques. RESULTS Angptl4 expression was dependent on HIF-1 α, with a reduction in mRNA expression and no response in protein level to DMOG or DLT treatment in relation to siHIF-1 α -transfected cells. DLT inhibited HIF-1 α and Angptl4 mRNA expression (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and reduced HIF-1 α and Angptl4 protein expressions with DMOG in mature adipocytes (all P<0.01), as the effect on HIF-1 α protein also existed in the presence of siHIF-1 α (P<0.01). ApoE-/- mice treated with CIH had increased TG and TC levels (all P<0.01) and atherosclerotic plaque. Angptl4 antibody and DLT both reduce TG and TC levels (all P<0.01), as well as reducing atherosclerotic plaque areas, narrowing arterial wall thickness and alleviating atherosclerotic lesion symptoms to some extent. CONCLUSION DLT had positive effects in improving dyslipidemia and arteriosclerosis by inhibiting Angptl4 protein level through HIF-1 α-Angptl4 mRNA signaling pathway.

Abstract
Statistics show that 76.74% (4 688) of 6 109 patients with chronic wounds are over 50 years of age; the proportion of patients with underlying diseases in all age groups above 50 years ranges from 78.25% to 100.00%. Among the underlying diseases of chronic wound patients, the top four diseases are diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, and respiratory diseases. The above underlying diseases and ages of patients are the susceptibility factors of coronavirus disease 2019 released by National Health Commission of China. It is an unavoidable fact that the patients with chronic wounds have to go to the hospital for treatment prescribed by the physician. At the same time, we found that quite a few patients preferred going far afield in choosing hospital for treatment due to various reasons. During the prevention and control of coronavirus epidemic, this " go far afield" style of seeking medical treatment may increase the exposure risk during travelling. Accordingly, we convened 36 wound care clinics in different regions in Shanghai to implement the " Five Measures" encouraging the patients with chronic wounds to seek medical treatment nearby. The principle of this operation is that when seeking medical treatment, patients with chronic wounds should try their best to reduce the travel distance as much as possible to minimize the exposure risk during the epidemic period, which will in turn support the campaign of epidemic prevention and control.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is involved in both glucose and bone metabolism. IGF-1R signaling regulates the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In this study, we investigated whether the IGF-1R/ β-catenin signaling axis plays a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic osteoporosis (DOP). Serum from patients with or without DOP was collected to measure the IGF-1R level using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Rats were given streptozotocin following a four-week high-fat diet induction (DOP group), or received vehicle after the same period of a normal diet (control group). Dual energy X-ray absorption, a biomechanics test, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining were performed to evaluate bone mass, bone strength, and histomorphology, respectively, in vertebrae. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting were performed to measure the total and phosphorylation levels of IGF-1R, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and β-catenin. The serum IGF-1R level was much higher in patients with DOP than in controls. DOP rats exhibited strikingly reduced bone mass and attenuated compression strength of the vertebrae compared with the control group. HE staining showed that the histomorphology of DOP vertebrae was seriously impaired, which manifested as decreased and thinned trabeculae and increased lipid droplets within trabeculae. PCR analysis demonstrated that IGF-1R mRNA expression was significantly up-regulated, and western blotting detection showed that phosphorylation levels of IGF-1R, GSK-3β, and β-catenin were enhanced in DOP rat vertebrae. Our results suggest that the IGF-1R/β-catenin signaling axis plays a role in the pathogenesis of DOP. This may contribute to development of the underlying therapeutic target for DOP.

Abstract
Objectives: To compare the sealing ability and biocompatibility of Biodentine with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) when used as root-end filling materials. Methodology: The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to compare the cytotoxicity of MTA and Biodentine. Twenty-one extracted teeth with a single canal were immersed in an acidic silver nitrate solution after root-end filling. Then, the volume and depth of silver nitrate that infiltrated the apical portion of the teeth were analyzed using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Seventy-two roots from 3 female beagle dogs were randomly distributed into 3 groups and apical surgery was performed. After six months, the volume of the bone defect surrounding these roots was analyzed using micro-CT. Results: Based on the results of the CCK-8 assay, MTA and Biodentine did not show statistically significant differences in cytotoxicity (P>0.05). The volume and the depth of the infiltrated nitrate solution were greater in the MTA group than in the Biodentine group (P<0.05). The volume of the bone defect was larger in the MTA group than in the Biodentine group. However, the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The volumes of the bone defects in the MTA and Biodentine groups were smaller than the group without any filling materials (P<0.05). Conclusions: MTA and Biodentine exhibited comparable cellular biocompatibility. Biodentine showed a superior sealing ability to MTA in root-end filling. Both Biodentine and MTA promoted periradicular bone healing in beagle dog periradicular surgery models.

Abstract
Previous studies indicated that let-7 enhances osteogenesis and bone formation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We also have confirmed that let-7f-5p expression was upregulated during osteoblast differentiation in rat bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) and was downregulated in the vertebrae of patients with glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). The study was performed to determine the role of let-7f-5p in GC-inhibited osteogenic differentiation of murine BMSCs in vitro and in GIOP in vivo. Here, we report that dexamethasone (Dex) inhibited osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and let-7f-5p expression, while increasing the expression of transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1), a direct target of let-7f-5p during osteoblast differentiation under Dex conditions. In addition, let-7f-5p promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, as indicated by the promotion of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and activity, Von Kossa staining, and osteogenic marker expression (Runx2,Osx, Alp, and Ocn), but decreased TGFBR1 expression in the presence of Dex. However, overexpression of TGFBR1 reversed the upregulation of let-7f-5p during Dex-treated osteoblast differentiation. Knockdown of TGFBR1 reversed the effect of let-7f-5p downregulation during Dex-treated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. We also found that glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mediated transcriptional silencing of let-7f-5p and its knockdown enhanced Dex-inhibited osteogenic differentiation. Further, when injected in vivo, agomiR-let-7f-5p significantly reversed bone loss induced by Dex, as well as increased osteogenic marker expression (Runx2, Osx, Alp, and Ocn) and decreased TGFBR1 expression in bone extracts. These findings indicated that the regulatory axis of GR/let-7f-5p/TGFBR1 may be important for Dex-inhibited osteoblast differentiation and that let-7f-5p may be a useful therapeutic target for GIOP.

Abstract
In this study, a series of new fluorine or chlorine-substituted cinnamic acid derivatives that contain tertiary amine side chain were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition. The results show that almost all the derivatives containing tertiary amine side chain (compounds 4a-9d) exhibit moderate or potent activity in AChE inhibition. By contrast, their parent compounds (compounds 3a-3f) in the absence of tertiary amine moitery exhibit poor inhibitory activity against AChE. For the compounds containing pyrroline or piperidine side chain, the bioactivity in AChE inhibition is much intense than those containing N,N-diethylamino side chain. The chlorine or fluorine substituted position produces a significant effect on the bioactivity and selectivity in AChE inhibition. Most of the compounds that contain para-substituted fluorine or chlorine exhibit potent activity against AChE and poor activity against BChE, while ortho-substituted analogs show the opposite effect. It is worth noticing that the compounds containing N,N-diethylamino side chain are exceptions to this pattern. Among the newly synthesized compounds, compounds 6d are the most potent in AChE inhibition (IC50 = 1.11 ± 0.08 μmol/L) with high selectivity for AChE over BChE (selectivity ratio: 46.58). An enzyme kinetic study of compounds 6d suggests it produces a mixed-type inhibitory effect in AChE.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application value of endoscope in probing the chronic wound with sinus tract in clinic. Methods: Twenty-eight chronic wounds with sinus tracts from 27 patients conforming to the inclusion criteria admitted to Outpatient Department of Wound Healing Center of Ruijin Hospital from December 2017 to March 2018 were investigated in a prospective and self-controlled trial. After being cleaned, the diameter of the opening of sinus tract was measured with a rule. A probe was used to measure the depth of a sinus tract according to the touch from the probe extremity in operation, and to measure the depth of a sinus tract that could be observed with naked eyes with the help of a pair of hemostatic forceps. Five minutes later, a probe was inserted deeply into the sinus tract to measure the depth under the endoscopic view combined with touch from the probe extremity in operation. Afterwards, the sinus tract was observed with endoscope, and the depth of the tract which could be observed under the endoscopic view was measured using a probe inserted deeply into the sinus tract. After completion of the above exploration, the sinus tract was infused with contrast agent Omnipaque 350 and scanned by computed tomography (CT) later to obtain its depth. The following indicators were calculated: the ratio of the depth of the sinus tract measured by CT to the diameter of the opening of the sinus tract (hereinafter referred to as the depth/diameter ratio of the sinus tract), the deviation rate comparing the depth of the sinus tract measured by conventional method (measured by probe only) and by endoscope (measured by probe under the endoscope view) with the depth of the sinus tract measured by CT (hereinafter referred to as the deviation rate of the measured depth of the sinus tract), the deviation rate comparing the depth of the sinus tract that could be observed measured by conventional method and by endoscope with the depth of the sinus tract measured by CT (hereinafter referred to as the deviation rate of the depth of the sinus tract that could be observed). Data were processed with paired t test. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to analyze the correlation between the depth/diameter ratio of the sinus tract and the deviation rate of the measured depth of the sinus tract and the deviation rate of the depth of the sinus tract that could be observed by conventional method and by endoscope. Results: The depth/diameter ratio of the sinus tract of this group of wounds was 1-32 (8±7). The deviation rate of the measured depth of the sinus tract and the deviation rate of the depth of the sinus tract that could be observed by conventional method were (19±14)% and (79±18)%, respectively, both obviously larger than (9±9)% and (25±25)% by endoscope (t=3.837, 13.626, P<0.01). Positive correlation existed between the depth/diameter ratio of the sinus tract and the deviation rate of the measured depth of the sinus tract by conventional method, and between the depth/diameter ratio of the sinus tract and the deviation rate of the depth of the sinus tract that could be observed by conventional method and by endoscope (r=0.514, 0.585, 0.651, P<0.01). However, there was no obvious correlation between the depth/diameter ratio of the sinus tract and the deviation rate of the measured depth of the sinus tract by endoscope (r=0.113, P>0.05). Conclusions: Compared with the conventional method, application of endoscope is able to get more accurate data of chronic wounds with sinus tracts and observe the wounds with wider range.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Plastrum testudinis extracts (PTE) show osteoprotective effects on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in vivo and in vitro. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of PTE in promoting osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is unclear. METHODS BMSC proliferation was investigated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. BMSC differentiation and osteogenic mineralization were assayed using alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin red staining, respectively. The mRNA expression levels of Let-7f-5p, Tnfr2, Traf2, Pi3k, Akt, β-catenin, Gsk3β, Runx2, and Ocn were measured using real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Protein levels of TNFR2, TRAF2, p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-β-CATENIN, and p-GSK3β were analyzed by western blotting. The functional relationship of Let-7f-5p and Tnfr2 was determined by luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS The optimum concentration for PTE was 30 μg/ml. PTE significantly promoted BMSC osteogenic differentiation and mineralization after 7 and 14 days in culture, respectively. The combination of PTE and osteogenic induction exhibited significant synergy. PTE upregulated Let-7f-5p, β-catenin, Runx2, and Ocn mRNA expression, and downregulated Tnfr2, Traf2, Pi3k, Akt, and Gsk3β mRNA expression. PTE inhibited TNFR2, TRAF2, and p-β-CATENIN protein expression, and promoted p-PI3K, p-AKT, and p-GSK3β protein expression. In addition, Tnfr2 was a functional target of Let-7f-5p in 293T cells. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that PTE may promote BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation via a mechanism associated with the regulation of Let-7f-5p and the TNFR2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the influencing factors and clinical significance of severe hypocalcemia in patients with extremely severe burns in early stage. Methods: Clinical data of 142 patients with extremely severe burns admitted to our wards from January 2010 to July 2015, conforming to the study criteria, were retrospectively analyzed. (1) The incidence of hypocalcemia and severe hypocalcemia on admission were calculated. (2) Patients were divided into the male group (n=113) and the female group (n=29) according to gender. The levels of serum calcium of patients whose age more than 55 years old and less than or equal to 55 years old in the two groups were compared with t test. (3) Patients were divided into severe hypocalcemia group (n=52) and non-severe hypocalcemia group (n=90) according to the level of serum calcium on admission. The data including gender, age, flame burn, total burn area, inhalation injury, admission time, the pH value, and the albumin level of patients on admission between two groups were compared with chi-square test or t test. Indexes with P<0.1 between two groups were selected, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of severe hypocalcemia in patients with extremely severe burns in early stage. (4) According to the prognosis, patients were divided into survival group (n=112) and non-survival group (n=30). The data including gender, age, flame burn, total burn area, inhalation injury, admission time, the level of serum calcium, the pH value, and the albumin level of patients on admission between two groups were compared with chi-square test or t test. Indexes with P<0.1 between two groups were selected, and multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of prognosis of patients with extremely severe burns. Results: (1) The incidence of hypocalcemia on admission was 97.2% (138/142), and patients diagnosed as severe hypocalcemia accounted for 36.6% (52/142). (2) In the male group, the level of serum calcium of patients with age more than 55 years old was (1.84±0.19) mmol/L, which was close to (1.88±0.21) mmol/L of patients with age less than or equal to 55 years old within the same group and (1.96±0.13) mmol/L of patients with age more than 55 years old in the female group (t=0.833, 1.560, P>0.05). In the female group, the level of serum calcium of patients with age less than or equal to 55 years old was (1.78±0.19) mmol/L, which was significantly lower than that of patients with age less than or equal to 55 years old in the male group and that of patients with age more than 55 years old in the female group (t=-2.197, -2.472, P<0.05). (3) Compared with those of patients in severe hypocalcemia group, the total burn area and the proportion of inhalation injury of patients in non-severe hypocalcemia group were obviously smaller (t=2.379, χ(2) =13.410, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the admission time was obviously earlier (t=2.675, P<0.01), while the albumin level was obviously higher (t=-6.163, P<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences between patients of the two groups in gender, flame burn, age, and the pH value on admission (χ(2)=1.869, 2.850, t=-0.578, 0.645, P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only the albumin level on admission was the independent influencing factor of severe hypocalcemia in patients with extremely severe burns (with odds ratio 1.179, 95% confidence interval 1.092-1.273, P<0.01). (4) Compared with those of patients in non-survival group, the total burn area and the proportion of inhalation injury in survival group were smaller (t=-5.515, χ(2)=27.573, P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the pH value and the albumin level on admission were higher (t=2.208, 3.321, P<0.05 or P<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences between patients of the two groups in gender, flame burn, age, admission time, and the level of serum calcium on admission (χ(2)=0.198, 2.545, t=-1.316, -1.397, 1.857, P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that total burn area and inhalation injury were the independent risk factors to predict prognosis of patients with extremely severe burns (with relative risk 1.066 and 4.081, 95% confidence interval 1.023-1.110 and 1.144-14.559, P<0.05 or P<0.01), but the pH value and levels of albumin and serum calcium were not independent risk factors to predict prognosis of patients with extremely severe burns (with relative risk 0.003, 1.025, and 0.634, 95% confidence interval <0.001-1.183, 0.956-1.099, and 0.055-7.321, P>0.05). Conclusions: The level of serum calcium of the majority of patients with extremely severe burns on admission is decreasing significantly, especially the female patients less than or equal to 55 years old. Compared with non-severe hypocalcemia patients, patients with severe hypocalcemia are with larger total burn area, higher proportion of inhalation injury, later admission time, and lower albumin level on admission. However, only the albumin level on admission is the independent influencing factor of severe hypocalcemia in patients with extremely severe burns. And the level of serum calcium on admission can not predict the prognosis of patients with extremely severe burns.

Abstract
This paper systematically studies relevant literatures at home and abroad in recent years. China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) was used to collect the literatures for acute pharyngitis treated with traditional Chinese medicine from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2016, and the bibliometric method was employed for statistical analysis. A total of 493 papers were preliminarily selected. According to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, 182 eligible articles were selected. According to the evaluation and analysis of the literatures, the Guidelines for Clinical Research of New Drugs is currently used as the common standards for the diagnosis and treatment of acute pharyngitis; Chinese patent medicines are the main traditional Chinese medicine for treating this disease; Decoctions for treatment of this disease include Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, Scutellariae Radix, Platycodonis Radix, Forsythiae Fructus, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Scrophdlariae Radix, Isatidis Radix, and Ophiopogonis Radix; The bloodletting puncture is the common external therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own characteristics in the treatment of this disease. Western medicine for the treatment of acute pharyngitis are mainly antiviral, antibiotic and glucocorticoid drugs, whose disadvantages are toxicity, side effects, drug resistance and double infections. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors have rich experiences in the treatment of the disease, which is characterized by treatment determination based on syndrome differentiation, safe and reliable medication, significant curative effect, low drug resistance, and wide varieties of traditional Chinese medicine forms, convenient portability and taking, low price, and low toxic and side effects. It is an arduous and significant task to explore traditional Chinese medicine, and study and develop new-type effective drugs.

Abstract
A series of benzamide and picolinamide derivatives containing dimethylamine side chain (4a–4c and 7a–7i) were synthesised and evaluated for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity in vitro. Structure–activity relationship investigation revealed that the substituted position of dimethylamine side chain markedly influenced the inhibitory activity and selectivity against AChE and BChE. In addition, it seemed that the bioactivity of picolinamide amide derivatives was stronger than that of benzamide derivatives. Among them, compound 7a revealed the most potent AChE inhibitory activity (IC50: 2.49 ± 0.19 μM) and the highest selectivity against AChE over BChE (Ratio: 99.40). Enzyme kinetic study indicated that compound 7a show a mixed-type inhibition against AChE. The molecular docking study revealed that this compound can bind with both the catalytic site and the peripheral site of AChE.

Abstract
Soy isoflavones exhibit various biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protective effects. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of sixteen synthesized 3-amino-2-hydroxypropoxy genistein derivatives on cell proliferation and activation of Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2)/ARE (antioxidant response elements) pathway in human cancer cell lines. Most of the tested compounds exerted greater cytotoxic activity than genistein, as measured by MTT assay. Moreover, compound 8c showed the highest ARE-luciferase reporter activity among the test compounds. It strongly promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation and up-regulated the expression of total Nrf2 and downstream targets NQO-1 and HO-1 at protein level. The present study may provide a basis for the application of isoflavone derivatives as Nrf2/ARE pathway inducers for cancer therapy and cancer prevention.

Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is a worldwide health concern and lacks sufficient basic studies. Suitable animal models should be the foundation for basic study and treatment of OVF. There have been few studies on the development of animal models of osteoporotic vertebral bone defects. OVF models using various animal species should be developed to evaluate the therapeutic strategy in preclinical testing. We developed an OVF model in rats. Rat osteoporosis was induced by ovariectomy (OVX), and 3 months after OVX, a 3 mm diameter hemispheric vertebral bone defect was developed in lumbar vertebra 6 (L6). Sagittal plain X-rays of the rats, their bone quantity, bone microarchitecture, and histomorphology were analyzed: 3 months after OVX, rats showed significantly lower bone quantity, relative bone volume, and total volume bone mineral density. After the vertebral bone defect had developed for 16 weeks, no significant indication of self-healing could be observed from the sagittal plain X-rays, three-dimensional images, and histomorphology. These results indicate that the rat model of osteoporotic vertebral bone defect, induced by OVX and a 3 mm diameter hemispheric vertebral bone defect, can sufficiently mimic OVF patients in clinic and provide a sound basis for subsequent studies.

Abstract
Objective: To retrospectively analyze the prognostic value of platelet count recovery in the early stage post burn for patients with extremely severe burn, so as to evaluate their severity. Methods: A study involving 244 adult patients with extremely severe burn admitted to our hospital from January 2006 to December 2015, conforming to the inclusion criteria, was conducted. Data of their demography, injury, transmission, disease change in hospital, and platelet count from post injury day (PID) 1 to 10 were collected. (1) Patients were divided into survival group (n=212) and non-survival group (n=32) according to whether death or not. The dynamic change characteristic of platelet count in patients of two groups from PID 1 to 10 was analyzed and compared. (2) Patients were divided into return to normal group (RN, n=163) and non-return to normal group (NRN, n=81) according to whether platelet count returned to normal within one week post burn. The proportion of patients who received mechanical ventilation and mortality in groups RN and NRN, and length of stay in ICU between patients with platelet count that returned to normal and that did not return to normal in the early stage post burn in survival group were compared. Data were processed with independent samples t test , analysis of variance of repeated measurement, chi-square test, and binomial distribution test. Correlation was analyzed between data of sex, age, weight, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, inhalation injury, length of hospital stay, receiving mechanical ventilation, platelet count recovery condition within one week post burn and death of patients using the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of platelet count on PID 8 was drawn to evaluate predicting value for death of 244 patients. Results: (1) The platelet count kept declining from PID 1 to 4, declined to below the normal low limit on PID 2, and reached its lowest level on PID 4 both in survival group and non-survival group. The platelet count both in survival group and non-survival group rose gradually from PID 4 to 10, and returned to normal on PID 8 and 10, respectively. There was no significant difference in platelet count of patients in two groups on PID 1 (t=1.01, P>0.05), while platelet count of patients in non-survival group was obviously lower than that in survival group from PID 2 to 10 (with t values from 2.64 to 7.17, P values below 0.01). The daily increment of platelet count in survival group from PID 4 to 10 was (26±13)×10(9)/L, obviously higher than that in non-survival group [(19±11)×10(9)/L, t=2.76, P<0.01]. (2) The proportion of patients who received mechanical ventilation was obviously lower than that of patients who did not receive mechanical ventilation in group RN (P<0.01), while the proportion of patients who received mechanical ventilation was obviously higher than that of patients who did not receive mechanical ventilation in group NRN (P<0.05). The proportion of patients who received mechanical ventilation in group NRN was obviously higher than that in group RN (χ(2)=32.93, P<0.01). The mortality of patients in group NRN was obviously higher than that in group RN (χ(2)=20.99, P<0.01). The length of stay in ICU of patients whose platelet count did not return to normal in the early stage was significantly longer than that of patients whose platelet count returned to normal in the early stage in survival group (t=4.20, P<0.01). (3) Total burn area, receiving mechanical ventilation, and platelet count did not return to normal within one week post burn were independent risk factors for death of patients with extremely severe burn (with hazard ratio respectively 1.073, 16.552, and 2.249, 95% confidence interval respectively 1.033-1.115, 2.147-127.580, and 0.993-5.096, P<0.05 or P<0.01). (4) The area under the ROC curve of platelet count on PID 8 to predict death of 244 patients with extremely severe burn was 0.745 (with 95% confidence interval 0.645-0.845, P<0.01), and 150×10(9)/L was chosen as the optimal threshold value, with sensitivity of 71.4% and specificity of 71.0%. Conclusions: Platelet count recovery in the early stage post burn of patients with extremely severe burn was significantly associated with their prognosis and could be used as an important indicator to evaluate the severity of illness.

Abstract
A new series of tertiary amine derivatives of chlorochalcone (4a∼4l) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and buthylcholinesterase (BuChE). The results indicated that all compounds revealed moderate or potent inhibitory activity against AChE, and some possessed high selectivity for AChE over BuChE. The structure–activity investigation showed that the substituted position of chlorine significantly influenced the activity and selectivity. The alteration of tertiary amine group also leads to obvious change in bioactivity. Among them, IC50 of compound 4l against AChE was 0.17 ± 0.06 µmol/L, and the selectivity was 667.2 fold for AChE over BuChE. Molecular docking and enzyme kinetic study on compound 4l suggested that it simultaneously binds to the catalytic active site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE. Further study showed that the pyrazoline derivatives synthesized from chlorochalcones had weaker activity and lower selectivity in inhibiting AChE compared to that of chlorochalcone derivatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the serum level of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and its relation with pulmonary hypertension. METHODS Forty-six patients with AECOPD complicated by pulmonary hypertension, 46 with AECOPD and 38 healthy control subjects were examined for their clinical data, pulmonary function, echocardiographic findings, and serum levels of lung tumor markers and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). RESULTS Compared with the healthy control group, COPD patients with or without pulmonary hypertension showed significantly decreased pulmonary function (P<0.05), especially in those with AECOPD and concurrent pulmonary hypertension (P<0.05). Serum CA125 level was obviously higher in AECOPD group than in the healthy control group, and further increased in AECOPD patients with pulmonary hypertension (P<0.05). The levels of lung tumor markers (CEA, NSE, CYFRA and PROGRP) were similar among the 3 groups (P>0.05). The serum level of BNP in patients with AECOPD and concurrent pulmonary hypertension was significantly higher than that in patients with AECOPD (P<0.05). Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that serum CA125 was positively correlated with pulmonary artery systolic pressure and BNP in AECOPD patients with pulmonary hypertension (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Serum CA125 may serve as a serological index to identify AECOPD patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Soy isoflavones exert a wide variety of biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a bZip transcription factor, plays a key role in soy isoflavones induced protection against oxidative stress and cancer. To obtain more effective isofavones, a series of 7,4'-bis-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropoxy), 7 or 4'-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropoxy) isoflavone derivatives have been synthesized as potential antitumor agents and Nrf2/ARE (antioxidant response element) activators. The cytotoxicity of these compounds in human cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, HT-29, HCT116, HepG2 and 7402 was tested by MTT assay. In this study, the cytotoxicity of compound 3b exhibited highest cytotoxic activity and at the safety dose range, it also strongly up-regulated antioxidant response element (ARE)-luciferase reporter activity. In addition, compound 3b induced Nrf2 nuclear translocation and upregulated its downstream target genes NQO-1 and HO-1 at protein level. Taken together, our results suggest that compound 3b could be a potential agent for cancer themotherapy or cancer chemoprevention.

Abstract
A new series of-fluoro chalcones-substituted amino-alkyl derivatives (3a˜3l) were designed, synthesized, characterized and evaluated for the inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. The results showed that the alteration of fluorine atom position and amino-alkyl groups markedly influenced the activity and the selectivity of chalcone derivates in inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. Among them, compound 3l possesses the most potent inhibitory against acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = 0.21 ± 0.03 μmol/L), and the highest selectivity for acetylcholinesterase over butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 (BuChE)/IC50 (AChE) = 65.0). Molecular modeling and enzyme kinetic study on compound 3l supported its dual acetylcholinesterase inhibitory profile, simultaneously binding at the catalytic active and peripheral anionic site of the enzyme.

Abstract
Background This report describes emergency response following an imported vaccine derived poliovirus (VDPV) case from Myanmar to Yunnan Province, China and the cross-border collaboration between China and Myanmar. Immediately after confirmation of the VDPV case, China disseminated related information to Myanmar with the assistance of the World Health Organization. Methods A series of epidemiological investigations were conducted, both in China and Myanmar, including retrospective searches of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases, oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) coverage assessment, and investigation of contacts and healthy children. Results All children <2 years of age had not been vaccinated in the village where the VDPV case had lived in the past 2 years. Moreover, most areas were not covered for routine immunization in this township due to vaccine shortages and lack of operational funds for the past 2 years. Conclusions Cross-border collaboration may have prevented a potential outbreak of VDPV in Myanmar. It is necessary to reinforce cross-border collaboration with neighboring countries in order to maximize the leverage of limited resources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The relationships between dietary nuts and legume intake and risk of stroke are inconsistent. We summarized the evidence by a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. METHODS AND RESULTS We systematically searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases up to 31 January 2014. Random-effects models were used to calculate summary relative risks (SRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Between-study heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran's Q and I(2) statistics. Eight prospective studies with a total of 468,887 subjects and 10,493 stroke events were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, a diet containing greater amounts of legumes may be not associated with a lower risk of stroke (SRR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.84-1.08; P(heterogeneity) = 0.091, I(2) = 43.2%); however, a diet containing greater amounts of nuts may be associated with a lower risk of stroke (SRR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.81-0.99; P(heterogeneity) = 0.527, I(2) = 0). Gender significantly modified the effects of nut consumption on stroke risk, and high nut intake was associated with reduced risk of stroke in women (SRR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.75-0.97) other than in men (SRR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.82-1.11). CONCLUSION The current meta-analysis provides some evidences for the hypothesis that high intake of dietary nut was inversely associated with stroke risk, whereas dietary legumes intake was not associated with stroke risk.

Abstract
To investigate the epidemic and evolutionary trends of enterovirus (EV) in the external environment of Yunnan Province, China, molecular typing was performed on 4 EV strains that were isolated from environmental sewage in Yunnan. The VP1 region of isolates was amplified by RT-PCR using universal enterovirus primers, and the amplified VP1 region was sequenced for GenBank BLAST search and genotype analysis. The 4 EV strains were identified as ECHO7. Their nucleotide and amino acid homologies with the VP1 sequences of 68 ECHO7 strains retrieved from GenBank were measured by Mega software analysis. Our findings showed that ECHO7 strains from environmental sewage and population samples were in different evolutionary branches. These strains showed typical geographical and temporal differences; In addition, there were different transmission chains at the same time and in the same area. ECHO7 strains isolated from sewage water and patients with acute flaccid paralysis during the same period in Yunnan belonged to different clusters and evolved at different speeds. Special concerns are needed for this problem. Continuous molecular biological surveillance of human EV in the external environment of Yunnan will provide strong support for early warning of EV diseases.

Abstract
In order to explore the genotype distribution and molecular evolution of non-polio enterovirus (NPEVs)in Yunnan Province,the People's Republic of China, we sequenced and analyzed the partial VP1 coding region of 105 NPEVs isolated from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance in Yunnan province during a 5- year study period from 2006 to 2010. The viral genomes of 105 NPEVs were translated to corresponding amino acid sequences and compared with those of the prototype strains, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed among these VP1 nucleotide sequences and other prototype strains from GenBank. Analysis showed that 18 isolates were classified into 7 serotypes of human enterovirus A species, while 77 isolates into 22 serotypes of B and 10 isolates into 4 serotypes of C species. However, we did not isolate any viruses which belonged to human enterovirus D species. Thus, under AFP surveillance, human enterovirus B species accounted for 73. 3% of the 105 isolates and was considered as the predominant one,followed by human enterovirus A(17. 1%) and human enterovirus C(9. 5%). Phylogenetic analysis showed that various serotypes of the virus and the corresponding prototype strains or other representative strains clustered into the same grooup, however, Yunnan strains and prototype strains were located in the different branches (except CA2,EV90 and EV76). The degree of variation was different even among the same genotype strains. This report showed that different genotype strains spread widely in Yunnan Province.

Abstract
To explore the enteroviruses surveillance among healthy children under 15 years old in the border areas of Yunnan Province and Myanmar in 2009. The stool samples were collected from the healthy children under 15 years old who came from the border areas of Myanmar and Yunnan Province, virus isolation and sequencing were conducted for all the 271 samples. 6 strains of polioviruses (PVs) were detected from 271 stools with an isolation rate of 2.8%, which belonged to vaccine strains and 24 non-polioviruses (NPVs) were detected with an isolation rate of 8.9%. 24 NPVs belonged to human enterovirus group B (HEV-B) with 6 serotypes, HEV-A, HEV-C and HEV-D viruses were not isolated. Among them, 13 NPVs were E7 (54.17%) and 5 NPVs were E13 (20.83%). Our results showed that the enterovirus carrying rate in the border areas of Yunnan province was higher than the rate of routine acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) detection system. The HEV-B viruses were the only enteroviruses isolated. The phylogenetical analysis showed that Echovirus 7(E7) and 13 (E13) exhibited genetic polymorphism.

To find out epidemiological feature of paralytic cases caused by type 2 vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) and the excretion status of the case and to explore the enterovirus infection status among healthy children under five years old around the case in Zhaotong city, Yunnan Province in 2010. Field epidemiological studies at the epidemic area were conducted and a total of 108 stool samples were collected, three from the case, seven from the close contacts and 98 from the healthy children. VDPV was not isolated again from the case; Sabin-like PV strains or VDPV were not isolated from the close contacts and the healthy children; An active search for acute flaccid paralysis cases was conducted in the area, which indicated that the VDPV did not cause virus circulation in local area. Twenty one (20.0%) NPEVs were isolated from 105 stool samples. Among the 21 NPEV isolates, 11 isolates (52.4%) were HEV-A (3 serotypes), 10 isolates (47.6%) were HEV-B (4 serotypes).

Abstract
Molecular typing was conducted according to the reported methods for 2 enteroviruses that were isolated from healthy children in the border areas of Yunnan Province with Myanmar. RT-PCR and sequencing were performed with 292/222 primers according to the Oberste's methods. The resulting sequences were blasted against the Genbank database and compared with all available enterovirus database. Analysis of homology at nucleotide and amino acid level identically suggested that the two enteroviruses are human enterovirus 73.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of different dosage of measles vaccines (0.2 ml or 0.5 ml) to measles antibody level in 8 month-old infants and study the relationship between maternal antibody in infants and the immune response to the vaccine. METHODS 196 8 month-old infants and their mothers were selected randomly. The measles IgG-antibody in infants before and after vaccination and in their mothers was detected by ELISA. RESULTS Total 101 infants received 0.2 ml MV and 95 infants received 0.5 ml MV. (1) Among all infants who were antibody negative before vaccination, the immune success rate was 88.24% in the Group 1 and 97.3% in Group 2. There were significant differences between the 2 groups (chi2=4.656 P=0.031). (2) Infants who were antibody positive before vaccination the immune success rate was 56.25% in Group 1 and 57.14% in Group 2. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups (chi2=0.003 P=0.957). (3) Before receiving MV, the seronegative rate in total 196 infants was 81.12%, but the seronegative rate in their mothers was 7.65%. CONCLUSION For 8 month-old infants, the maternal antibody has limited influence on the immune success rate. Increasing the dosage to 0.5 ml could increase the success rate and decrease the primary immune failure among infants who were antibody negative pre-vaccination. However, for those infants who were antibody positive pre-vaccination, the antibody level was not increase along with the increasing of the vaccine dosage.

Abstract
A major complication of coronary stenting is in-stent restenosis (ISR) due to thrombus formation. We hypothesized that locally released curcumin from coronary stent surface would inhibit ISR due to thrombus formation because of antithrombosis of curcumin. In the present work, curcumin-eluting polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) films were fabricated and their properties in vitro were investigated. The in vitro platelet adhesion and activation, as well as protein adsorption on curcumin-loading PLGA films were investigated to evaluate the blood compatibility of curcumin-eluting films. The structure of curcumin-eluting PLGA film and control was examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicating that the peaks of curcumin did not shift in curcumin-eluting films. The results of contact angle and surface free energy indicated that loading curcumin in PLGA would make PLGA become more hydrophilic, which contributed to the increase of polar fraction of surface free energy. With the increase of curcumin in films, platelets adhering to the curcumin-eluting films decreased significantly. The number of activation platelets decreased after incorporating curcumin in PLGA films. Loading curcumin in PLGA film can markedly reduce the fibrinogen adsorption. All results indicated that incorporating curcumin in PLGA film can improve the blood compatibility of PLGA films. It can be used to fabricate drug-eluting stent to prevent thrombosis formation.

Abstract
In this study, using polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) with a molecular weight of 95,800 Da as drug carrier, three dose (low, moderate, high) rapamycin-eluting stents and the corresponding coating films were prepared. The pre- and post-expansion morphology of the rapamycin-eluting stent was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), indicating that the coating was very smooth and uniform. The coating had the ability to withstand the compressive and tensile strains imparted without cracking from the stent during expansion process. There were many voids on stent coating surface after released for 18 days in release medium. The thermodynamics data of the stent coating film measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed a lack of measurable solubility of rapamycin in the PLGA matrix. The release behavior of rapamycin from stent surface had a two phase release profile with a burst release period of about 2 days, followed by a sustained and slow release phase. The mass loss behavior of PLGA appeared linear throughout most of the degradation period, corresponding to an approximately constant mass loss rate. The platelet adhesion tests showed that the rapamycin-eluting films may have a good blood compatibility compared with control samples. Take into these results account, this novel rapamycin-eluting may be a good candidate to resolve in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
This paper dealt with improving the blood compatibility of the rapamycin-eluting stent by incorporating curcumin. The rapamycin- and rapamycin/curcumin-loaded PLGA (poly(d,l-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid)) coatings were fabricated onto the surface of the stainless steel stents using an ultrasonic atomization spray method. The structure of the coating films was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the drug-eluting stents indicated that the surface of all drug-eluting stents was very smooth and uniform, and there were not webbings and "bridges" between struts. There were not any cracks and delaminations on stent surface after expanded by the angioplasty balloon. The in vitro platelet adhesion and activation were investigated by static platelet adhesion test and GMP140 (P-selection), respectively. The clotting time was examined by activated partially prothromplastin time (APTT) test. The fibrinogen adsorption on the drug-loaded PLGA films was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All obtained data showed that incorporating curcumin in rapamycin-loaded PLGA coating can significantly decrease platelet adhesion and activation, prolong APTT clotting time as well as decrease the fibrinogen adsorption. All results indicated that incorporating curcumin in rapamycin-eluting coating obviously improve the blood compatibility of rapamycin-eluting stents. It was suggested that it may be possible to develop a drug-eluting stent which had the characteristics of not only good anti-proliferation but also improved anticoagulation.

Abstract
Curcumin is pharmaceutically active in many ways, having properties including anticoagulation, anti-proliferation, anti-inflammatory, and may be used to fabricate drug-eluting stents to treat in-stent restenosis after stent implantation. Here we describe our investigations of curcumin-eluting PLGA coatings formed using the biodegradable polymer PLGA (polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid) as drug carrier and uniformly fabricated on the surface of 316L stainless steel stents by an ultrasonic spray method. Three doses were explored--low dose ( approximately 140 microg per stent or 115 microg/cm(2)), moderate dose ( approximately 280 microg per stent or 230 microg/cm(2)), and high dose ( approximately 490 microg per stent or 408 microg/cm(2)). Pre- and post-expansion morphologies of the stent coating were examined by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), indicating that the coating not only was very smooth and uniform but also had the ability to withstand the compressive and tensile strains imparted without cracking from the stent during the expansion process. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images indicated the topography of the PLGA-only and moderate dose curcumin-eluting stent that showed an average roughness below 1 nm; no drug particles could be seen on the stent surface, indicating that curcumin can be mixed with PLGA at the molecular level using an ultrasonic atomization spray method. The structure of the coating films was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray electron spectroscopy (XPS), with results suggesting that there was no chemical reaction between curcumin and the drug. The results of in vitro measurements of drug release from curcumin-eluting stents showed that all the curcumin-eluting stents studied exhibited a nearly linear sustained-release profile with no significant burst releases within the measurement period. The in vitro anticoagulation behavior of curcumin-eluting stents was investigated by static platelet adhesion and APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) tests, revealing that the anticoagulation properties of curcumin-eluting stents are superior to those for stainless steel stents and PLGA-only-coated stents. The anticoagulation behavior of curcumin stents improved significantly as the drug dose was increased.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced apoptosis is suppressed by p21 (waf1/cip1/sdi1), a cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor. Here we show that exogenous expression of p21 before, but not after, the DOX-treatment protected p21-deficient human colorectal cancer cell line DLD1 from DOX-induced apoptosis. In previous work, we demonstrated that p21 inhibits DOX-induced apoptosis via its CDK-binding and CDK-inhibitory activity. Here we report that pre-existing p21 can associate with pro-caspase-3 and inhibit caspase-3 activation in the cells, which was at least in part responsible for enhancing survival of DOX-treated cells. Furthermore, the N-terminal domain of p21 was found to interact with pro-caspase-3 in DLD1 cells. Thus, we propose that pre-existing p21 is required to prevent DOX-induced apoptosis.
