Abstract
Chia seeds have gained significant attention due to their unique composition and potential health benefits, including high dietary fibers, omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, and phenolic compounds. These components contribute to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects, as well as their ability to improve glucose metabolism and dyslipidemia. Germination is recognized as a promising strategy to enhance the nutritional value and bioavailability of chia seeds. Chia seed sprouts have been found to exhibit increased essential amino acid content, elevated levels of dietary fiber and total phenols, and enhanced antioxidant capability. However, there is limited information available concerning the dynamic changes of bioactive compounds during the germination process and the key factors influencing these alterations in biosynthetic pathways. Additionally, the influence of various processing conditions, such as temperature, light exposure, and duration, on the nutritional value of chia seed sprouts requires further investigation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nutritional profile of chia seeds and the dynamic changes that occur during germination. Furthermore, the potential for tailored germination practices to produce chia sprouts with personalized nutrition, targeting specific health needs, is also discussed.

Abstract
Patella alta (PA) and patella baja (PB) affect 1-2% of the world population, but are often underreported, leading to potential complications like osteoarthritis. The Insall-Salvati ratio (ISR) is commonly used to diagnose patellar height abnormalities. Artificial intelligence (AI) keypoint models show promising accuracy in measuring and detecting these abnormalities.An AI keypoint model is developed and validated to study the Insall-Salvati ratio on a random population sample of lateral knee radiographs. A keypoint model was trained and internally validated with 689 lateral knee radiographs from five sites in a multi-hospital urban healthcare system after IRB approval. A total of 116 lateral knee radiographs from a sixth site were used for external validation. Distance error (mm), Pearson correlation, and Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate model performance. On a random sample of 2647 different lateral knee radiographs, mean and standard deviation were used to calculate the normal distribution of ISR. A keypoint detection model had mean distance error of 2.57 ± 2.44 mm on internal validation data and 2.73 ± 2.86 mm on external validation data. Pearson correlation between labeled and predicted Insall-Salvati ratios was 0.82 [95% CI 0.76-0.86] on internal validation and 0.75 [0.66-0.82] on external validation. For the population sample of 2647 patients, there was mean ISR of 1.11 ± 0.21. Patellar height abnormalities were underreported in radiology reports from the population sample. AI keypoint models consistently measure ISR on knee radiographs. Future models can enable radiologists to study musculoskeletal measurements on larger population samples and enhance our understanding of normal and abnormal ranges.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the population distribution of intermediate host snails and crabs of Paragonimus along the Jiulongjiang River, Zhangjiang River, and Dongxi River basins in Bopingling Mountain, southern Fujian Province, so as to provide baseline data for researches on parasitic disease prevention and control and enlargement of samples in the parasitic resource bank. METHODS A total of 23 villages in 8 counties (districts) along the Jiulong River, Zhangjiang River, and Dongxi River basins in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province were selected as survey sites during the period from November 2020 through March 2023, and snail and freshwater crabs were sampled from 1 to 3 streams and ditches neighboring residential areas in each village. Morphological identification of snails was performed according to the external morphological characteristics of collected snail shells, and the unidentified snail species sampled from the natural foci of paragonimiasis in Yunxiao County were subjected to se-quence analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) gene. The crab species was identified by observing the morphological characteristics of the terminal segment of the first pleopod of male crabs, and Paragonimus cercariae and metacercariae were detected in collected snails. RESULTS The shells of the unidentified snails sampled from the natural foci of paragonimiasis in Yunxiao County were approximately 50 mm in height and 18 mm in width, thick and solid, long tower cone-shaped, and had 8 to 10 whorls. CO1 gene sequence analysis identified the snail species as Sulcospira hainanensis. A total of 6 freshwater snail species belonging to 5 genera within 3 families, identified 23 survey sites, including Semisulcospira libertina, Paludomus zhangchouensis and S. hainanensis that belonged to the Family Pleurceridae, Tricula fujianensis and T. huaanensis that belonged to the subfamily Triculinae, Family Pomatiopsidae, and Melanoides tuberculata (Family Thiaridae), and 11 species of freshwater crabs belonging to 5 genera within 2 families were identified, including Sinopotamon genus of S. jianglense, S. pinheense, and S. zhangzhouense, Huananpotamon genus of H. planopodum and H. zhangzhouense, Nanhaipotamon genus of N. huaanense and N. longhaiense, and Minpotamon genus of M. nasicum and M. auritum that belonged to the Family Potamidae, and Somanniathelphusa genus of S. huaanensis and S. zhangpuensis (Family Parathelphusidae). In addition, the prevalence of P. westermani cercariae infections was 0.08% (2/2 317) in P. zhangchouensis from Danyan Village in Changtai District and 0.09% (1/1 039) in S. hainanensis from Jinkeng Village in Yunxiao County, and the prevalence of P. westermani metacercariae infections was 25.81% (8/31) in S. jianglense from Danyan Village in Changtai District, and 26.31% (5/19) in S. zhangzhouense from Jinkeng Village in Yunxiao County, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There is a population diversity in the intermediate host snails and crabs along the Jiulongjiang River, Zhangjiang River, and Dongxi River basins in Bopingling Mountain, southern Fujian Province, and P. zhangzhouensis and S. hainanensis are, for the first time, confirmed as the first intermediate hosts of P. westermani.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor angiogenesis inhibitors have been applied for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapy. However, the drug resistance hinders their further development. Intercellular crosstalk between lung cancer cells and vascular cells was crucial for anti-angiogenenic resistance (AAD). However, the understanding of this crosstalk is still rudimentary. Our previous study showed that Glioma-associated oncogene 1 (Gli1) is a driver of NSCLC metastasis, but its role in lung cancer cell-vascular cell crosstalk remains unclear. METHODS Conditioned medium (CM) from Gli1-overexpressing or Gli1-knockdown NSCLC cells was used to educate endothelia cells and pericytes, and the effects of these media on angiogenesis and the maturation of new blood vessels were evaluated via wound healing assays, Transwell migration and invasion assays, tube formation assays and 3D coculture assays. The xenograft model was conducted to establish the effect of Gli1 on tumor angiogenesis and growth. Angiogenic antibody microarray analysis, ELISA, luciferase reporte, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), bFGF protein stability and ubiquitination assay were performed to explore how Gli1 regulate bFGF expression. RESULTS Gli1 overexpression in NSCLC cells enhanced the endothelial cell and pericyte motility required for angiogenesis required for angiogenesis. However, Gli1 knockout in NSCLC cells had opposite effect on this process. bFGF was critical for the enhancement effect on tumor angiogenesis. bFGF treatment reversed the Gli1 knockdown-mediated inhibition of angiogenesis. Mechanistically, Gli1 increased the bFGF protein level by promoting bFGF transcriptional activity and protein stability. Importantly, suppressing Gli1 with GANT-61 obviously inhibited angiogenesis. CONCLUSION The Gli1-bFGF axis is crucial for the crosstalk between lung cancer cells and vascular cells. Targeting Gli1 is a potential therapeutic approach for NSCLC angiogenesis.

Abstract
AIM To explore the utility of the 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18F-FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in the differential diagnosis of IgG4-related lymphadenopathy (IgG4-RLAD) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging findings in clinically diagnosed IgG4-RLAD and AITL cases was undertaken to record the distribution, morphological characteristics, and imaging features of the affected lymph nodes, as well as FDG uptake of the spleen and bone marrow. Standardised uptake values normalised to lean body mass were evaluated for maximum (SULmax), average (SULavg), and peak values (SULpeak). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to screen for statistically significant imaging findings to discriminate IgG4-RLAD from AITL. RESULTS Twenty-two cases of IgG4-RLAD (17 men, five women, median age 49.5 years) and 22 cases of AITL (16 men, six women, median age 55 years) were finally included in the analysis. There were no AITL patients with involvement of a single lymph node region. AITL patients had more involvement of the different nodal regions except cervical and pelvic nodal regions. A practical assessment method based on a combination of SULpeak-LN/SULavg-liver, SULpeak-spleen, and the number of involved nodal regions, improved the performance for differential diagnosis between both groups with an overall classification accuracy of 90.9%. CONCLUSIONS 18F-FDG PET/CT is a useful tool for distinguishing AITL from IgG4-RLAD, and it can also help determine the optimal biopsy site for suspected cases of IgG4-RLAD or AITL, reduce the need for re-biopsy procedures, and enable physicians to develop timely treatment strategies.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the value of radiological features and energy spectrum quantitative parameters in the differential diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) by dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (CT) enterography (CTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical and CTE data were collected from 182 patients with CD, 29 with UC, and 51 with ITB. CT images were obtained at the enteric phases and portal phases. The quantitative energy spectrum parameters were iodine density (ID), normalised ID (NID), virtual non-contrast (VNC) value, and effective atomic number (Z-eff). The area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was calculated. RESULTS The vascular comb sign (p=0.009) and enlarged lymph nodes (p=0.001) were more common in patients with CD than UC or ITB. In the differentiation of moderate-severe active CD from UC, enteric phase NID (AUC, 0.938; p<0.001) and portal phase Z-eff (AUC, 0.925; p<0.001) had the highest accuracy, which were compared separately. In the differentiation of moderate-severe active CD from ITB, enteric phase NID (AUC, 0.906; p<0.001) and portal phase Z-eff (AUC, 0.947; p<0.001) had the highest accuracy; however, the AUC value was highest when the four parameters are combined (AUC, 0.989; p<0.001; AUC, 0.986; p<0.001; AUC, 0.936; p<0.001; and AUC, 0.986; p<0.001). CONCLUSION The present study shows that the combined strategies of four parameters have higher sensitivity and specificity in differentiating CD, UC, and ITB, and may play a key role in guiding treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect and the mechanism of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor 18 (rhFGF18) on postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS The effect of rhFGF18 on the proliferation and apoptosis of osteoblasts and the mechanism underlying such an effect was evaluated using an oxidative stress model of the MC3T3-E1 cell line. Furthermore, ovariectomy was performed on ICR mice to imitate estrogen-deficiency postmenopausal osteoporosis. Bone metabolism and bone morphological parameters in the ovariectomized (OVX) mice were evaluated. RESULTS The results obtained from the cell model showed that FGF18 promoted MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation by activating the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 instead of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). FGF18 also prevented cells from damage inflicted by oxidative stress via inhibition of apoptosis. After FGF18 administration, the expression level of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in the mice was upregulated, whereas those of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and caspase-3 were downregulated. Administering FGF18 also improved bone metabolism and bone morphological parameters in OVX mice. CONCLUSIONS FGF18 could effectively prevent bone loss in OVX mice by enhancing osteoblastogenesis and protecting osteoblasts from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to systematically appraise the evidence on available full thickness 3D gingival and mucosal models (3D culture in scaffold base system) and their application in periodontal and peri-implant research. This study involved a systematic review of twenty-two studies obtained from searching from five electronic databases: MEDLINE-OVID, EMBASE, EBSCOhost, Web of Science Core Collection and LILACS, as well as a hand search of eligible articles up to September 2022. A total of 2338 studies were initially identified, after removal of duplicates (573), abstracts/title selection (1765), and full text screening (95), twenty-two studies were included, thirty-seven models were identified. Several cellular markers were reported by the studies included. The expression of keratinocytes differentiation markers (K4, K5, K10, K13, K14, K16, K17, K18, K19, involucrin, laminin5), proliferation marker (Ki67, CD90), and vimentin, Type I, II and IV collagen produced by fibroblasts were investigated in thirty models. No quantitative analyses were performed, and results of the review confirmed a substantial level of heterogeneity across experiments. In conclusion, there is currently insufficient evidence to conclude that the available 3D gingival and mucosal models can entirely recapitulate the human gingival tissue/mucosa and provide a useful research tool for periodontal and peri-implant research. This review also highlighted the lack of a standardized protocol to construct and characterize 3D gingival models. A new protocol is proposed for the characterization of in vitro gingival models for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IMpower010 (NCT02486718) demonstrated significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS) with adjuvant atezolizumab versus best supportive care (BSC) following platinum-based chemotherapy in the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive and all stage II-IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) populations, at the DFS interim analysis. Results of the first interim analysis of overall survival (OS) are reported here. PATIENT AND METHODS The design, participants, and primary-endpoint DFS outcomes have been reported for this phase III, open-label, 1 : 1 randomised study of atezolizumab (1200 mg q3w; 16 cycles) versus BSC after adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy (1-4 cycles) in adults with completely resected stage IB (≥4 cm)-IIIA NSCLC (per the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer and American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system, 7th edition). Key secondary endpoints included OS in the stage IB-IIIA intent-to-treat (ITT) population and safety in randomised treated patients. The first pre-specified interim analysis of OS was conducted after 251 deaths in the ITT population. Exploratory analyses included OS by baseline PD-L1 expression level (SP263 assay). RESULTS At a median of 45.3 months' follow-up on 18 April 2022, 127 of 507 patients (25%) in the atezolizumab arm and 124 of 498 (24.9%) in the BSC arm had died. The median OS in the ITT population was not estimable; the stratified hazard ratio (HR) was 0.995 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78-1.28]. The stratified OS HRs (95% CI) were 0.95 (0.74-1.24) in the stage II-IIIA (n = 882), 0.71 (0.49-1.03) in the stage II-IIIA PD-L1 tumour cell (TC) ≥1% (n = 476), and 0.43 (95% CI 0.24-0.78) in the stage II-IIIA PD-L1 TC ≥50% (n = 229) populations. Atezolizumab-related adverse event incidences remained unchanged since the previous analysis [grade 3/4 in 53 (10.7%) and grade 5 in 4 (0.8%) of 495 patients, respectively]. CONCLUSIONS Although OS remains immature for the ITT population, these data indicate a positive trend favouring atezolizumab in PD-L1 subgroup analyses, primarily driven by the PD-L1 TC ≥50% stage II-IIIA subgroup. No new safety signals were observed after 13 months' additional follow-up. Together, these findings support the positive benefit-risk profile of adjuvant atezolizumab in this setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) A traditional endpoint for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) clinical trials is overall survival (OS) with five years of follow-up. At present, many clinical trials evaluating concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for LACC are underway in worldwide. The use of a shorter-term endpoint could significantly speed the translation of research findings into practice. The primary hypothesis was that PFS with three years of follow-up (PFS36) is an appropriate primary endpoint to replace OS with five years of follow-up (5-year OS). MATERIALS/METHODS The primary hypothesis was developed from our individual data, was further investigated using phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and then externally validated by phase II trials and retrospective studies up to 2022. Correlation analysis at the treatment-arm level was performed between 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year PFS rates and 5-year OS, using the Pearson correlation coefficient r in weighted linear regression, with weight equal to patient size. The MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed databases, together with the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, were searched from January 1, 1999, to February 2, 2023. Articles eligible for inclusion contained complete survival data. RESULTS A total of 613 patients with histologically confirmed, FIGO 2009 stage IB-IVA cervical cancer who underwent radiotherapy at our institute from January 2010 to December 2013 were eligible. Individual patient data were pooled to explore the correlation between PFS and the OS trend. The recurrence rates for years 1 through 5 were 12.9%, 7.3%, 3%, 2.3%, and 1.8%, respectively. The median recurrence time was 13 months and the median time from recurrence to death was 12.2 months. Within all the recurrence, 47.3% of recurrences occurred during the first year, 71.4% in the first two years, and 85% in the first three years. Patients who did not achieve PFS36 had a 5-year OS rate of 30.3%. In contrast, a 5-year OS rate of 98.2% was observed in patients who achieved PFS36. Further data were extracted from 27 RCTs on locally advanced cervical cancer. The trials included 57 arms, with a pooled sample size of 7,692 patients. Formal measures of surrogacy were satisfied. Quality control was performed, where studies with a high risk of bias were excluded. In trial-level surrogacy, PFS36 (r2, 0.778) was associated with 5-year OS. The correlation between PFS36 and OS was externally validated using independent phase II trials and retrospective data. In total, 23 studies representing 5,174 patients were included. PFS36 (r2, 0.719) was found to be associated with OS. CONCLUSION The patients who achieved PFS36 had excellent outcomes, whereas patients that experienced earlier progression had poor survival. A significant correlation was found between PFS36 and 5-year OS in clinical trials on patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. These results suggest that PFS36 is an appropriate endpoint for LACC clinical trials of radiotherapy-based regimens.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Bulky tumors remain challenging to be treated. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is effective against radioresistant tumor cells and can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) that leads to T-cell-mediated antitumor effects. Low-dose radiation (LDRT) can inflame the tumor microenvironment (TME) by recruiting T cells. We designed a novel radiotherapy technique (RT, ERT) whose dose distribution map resembles the "eclipse" by concurrently delivering LDRT to the whole tumor, meanwhile SBRT to only a part of the same tumor. This study examined the safety and efficacy of ERT to bulky lesions with PD-1 inhibitors in mice and patients. MATERIALS/METHODS In mice with CT26 colon or LLC1 lung bulky tumors (400 - 500 cm3), the whole tumor was irradiated by LDRT (2 Gy x 3), meanwhile the tumor center was irradiated by SBRT (10 Gy x 3); αPD-1 was given weekly. The dependence of therapeutic effects on CD8+ T cells was determined using depleting antibodies. Frequencies of CD8+ T cells and M1 macrophages (Mφ) were determined by flow cytometry. Multiplex Immunohistochemistry (mIHC) was applied to analyze the number and the location of CD8+ T cells and their subpopulations, as well as the phospho-eIF2α level (the ICD marker) of tumor cells in TME. Patients with advanced lung or liver bulky tumors who failed standard treatment or with oncologic emergencies were treated. Kaplan-Meier method was applied to estimate patients' progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS ERT/αPD-1 is superior to SBRT/αPD-1 or LDRT/αPD-1 in controlling bulky tumors in both mouse models in a CD8+ T-cell dependent manner. In the CT26 model, ERT/αPD-1 resulted in complete tumor regression in 3/11 mice and induced more CD8+ T cells and M1 Mφ in TME compared to other groups. mIHC analysis showed that ERT/αPD-1 induced higher bulk, stem-like (TCF1+ TIM3- PD-1+), and more differentiated (TCF1- TIM3+ PD-1+) CD8+ T cells infiltration into the tumor center and periphery compared to other groups. Compared to untreated or LDRT-treated tumor centers, tumor centers irradiated with ERT or SBRT showed elevated phospho-eIF2α accompanied by higher dendritic cell infiltration. In total, 39 advanced cancer patients were treated with ERT/αPD-1 or plus chemotherapy. Radiation-induced pneumonitis occurred in 1 of 26 patients receiving thoracic ERT. There were two cases of grade III toxicity associated with PD-1 inhibitors. No toxicity above grade III was observed. The objective response rate was 38.5%. The median PFS was 5.6 months and median OS was not reached at a median follow-up of 11.7 months. CONCLUSION ERT/αPD-1 showed superior efficacy in controlling bulky tumor in two mouse models. The hybrid immuno-RT (ERT) combing PD-1 inhibitors was safe and effective in patients with bulky tumors. Further clinical trials in combination with bioimaging to identify the optimal SBRT target region for the bulky tumor are warranted.

Abstract
A 105 GHz collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic has been successfully developed for fast-ion measurements on the HL-2A tokamak, and it has been deployed during an experimental campaign. Enhanced signals exhibiting synchronous modulation characteristics have been observed across all CTS channels upon the launch of a modulated probe wave. Results show that the intensity of the CTS signal increases with Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) power and is proportional to neutron count, indicating that the scattering signal contains a contribution from fast ions. Compared with the signal without NBI, the enhanced scattering spectrum due to NBI is slightly wider than the predicted fast ion range. Such broadening might be attributed to the heating effects of the gyrotron.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5)-positive dermatomyositis associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD). Methods: The patients with MDA5+DM-ILD who were admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2017 to March 2021 were enrolled. The clinical data and survival information were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into survival group or death group, and rapid progressive ILD (RP-ILD) group or non-rapid progressive ILD group, according to their survival status and clinical progression. Results: A total of 105 patients with anti-MDA5+DM-ILD (median age of onset 54 years) were enrolled, 58% being female (61 cases). The main sub-type of dermatomyositis was amyopathic dermatomyositis (n=74, 70%), followed by dermatomyositis (n=31, 30%). The main extrapulmonary manifestations were skin lesions (n=60, 57.1%), muscle manifestations(n=20, 19%) and arthralgia/arthritis (n=20, 19%). 15.4% of the patients had positive ANA (antibody titer≥1∶320), and 61.9% of the patients had anti-RO-52 kDa antibody. A total of 66 patients (62.8%) developed RP-ILD, and 58 patients (56.3%) died. Lower oxygenation index (OR=0.974, 95%CI:0.954-0.994, P=0.012) and no joint pain (OR=0.032, 95%CI: 0.002-0.663 P=0.026) were independent risk factors for RP-ILD. Cox regression analysis showed that RP-ILD (HR=3.194, 95%CI:1.025-9.954, P=0.045), older than 53 years (HR=3.450, 95%CI: 1.388-8.577, P=0.008), ferritin level more than 1 330.5 ng/ml (HR=3.032, 95%CI 1.208-7.610, P=0.018) and C-reactive protein (CRP) above 16.95 mg/L (HR=2.794, 95%CI:1.102-7.084, P=0.030) were independent predictors of mortality. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of patients with anti-MDA5+DM-ILD presenting to the respiratory department were heterogeneous, with most being amyopathic dermatomyositis, and both the incidence of RP-ILD and the risk of death were high. Even in the absence of associated rash, joint, or muscle manifestations, anti-MDA5 antibody screening should be considered in patients with rapidly progressive ILD who were negative on baseline autoantibody screening but positive for anti-RO52kDa antibody.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although numerous studies have been conducted on hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD), the diagnosis of severe HFMD has not been fully clarified. Hence, it is important to further clarify the diagnosis of severe HFMD. In this study, we conducted a clinical biomarker discovery in patients with severe HFMD. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this study, serum samples were isolated from severe HFMD, HFMD, and healthy controls. Each group consisted of 32 cases. Isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to detect proteome expression in the serum samples. Then, candidate proteins were screened and verified by ELISA. Protein expressions were significantly different between the HFMD group, severe HFMD group, and healthy control group. RESULTS Comparison of the proteins between the three groups showed that serum amyloid A-1 protein (P0DJ18), C-reactive protein (P02741), fibronectin (P02751), plasminogen (P00747) and apolipoprotein A (P08519) were different, so they were selected as candidate proteins. However, the results of ELISA showed that the expression levels of serum amyloid A-1 protein, C-reactive protein, fibronectin, and apolipoprotein a in the severe HFMD group were significantly different from those in the other two groups (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the results showed that serum amyloid A-1, C-reactive protein, fibronectin, and apolipoprotein A may be potential biomarkers for clinical diagnosis of severe HFMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to summarize the findings of the studies documenting the efficacy and safety of perampanel when used in children/adolescents or adults, either as add-on therapy or as monotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus. Only studies with a cohort-based approach (either prospective or retrospective) were included. We were interested in real-world studies and therefore, studies with a highly regulated environment, such as randomized controlled trials, were excluded. The primary outcomes of interest were retention rates, response rates and seizure-free rates. Random effects model was used for the analysis. Effect sizes were reported as pooled prevalence along with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS A total of 34 studies were included. The retention rates, within 24 months from initiation of treatment as an add-on therapy, ranged between 65% to 77% among children and adolescents. For adults, the retention rate varied between 56 to 77% within 24 months from initiation of treatment. The response rate was around 70% in children/adolescents and 52% in adults at 24 months of follow-up. Around 25% of children and adolescents and 37% of adults were seizure-free at 24 months follow-up period. The proportion of children/adolescents and adults reporting any treatment-related adverse effects was 29% and 41%, respectively. The commonly reported adverse effects were dizziness/drowsiness, somnolence, behavioral problems (irritability, aggression, anxiety, mood changes), postural instability/gait problems, fatigue and weight gain. CONCLUSIONS Perampanel might be an effective anti-epileptic drug in both children/adolescents and adults when used as an adjunct therapy. More data is required to comment on its use as monotherapy. Careful monitoring for psychiatric problems and behavioral disturbances is required, both prior to initiating treatment as well as during the course of management. Studies with long-term follow-up may are needed to confirm the findings of this meta-analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of infections among cancer patients is as high as 23.2-33.2% in China. However, the lack of information and data on the number of antibiotics used by cancer patients is an obstacle to implementing antibiotic management plans. AIM This study aimed to investigate bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance in Chinese cancer patients to provide a reference for the rational use of antibiotics. DESIGN This was a 5-year retrospective study on the antibiotic resistance of cancer patients. METHODS In this 5-year surveillance study, we collected bacterial and antibiotic resistance data from 20 provincial cancer diagnosis and treatment centers and three specialized cancer hospitals in China. We analyzed the resistance of common bacteria to antibiotics, compared to common clinical drug-resistant bacteria, evaluated the evolution of critical drug-resistant bacteria and conducted data analysis. FINDINGS Between 2016 and 2020, 216 219 bacterial strains were clinically isolated. The resistance trend of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, piperacillin/tazobactam and imipenem was relatively stable and did not significantly increase over time. The resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to all antibiotics tested, including imipenem and meropenem, decreased over time. In contrast, the resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii strains to carbapenems increased from 4.7% to 14.7%. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) significantly decreased from 65.2% in 2016 to 48.9% in 2020. CONCLUSIONS The bacterial prevalence and antibiotic resistance rates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, S. aureus and MRSA were significantly lower than the national average.

Abstract
Bacterial secondary metabolites exhibit diverse remarkable bioactivities and are thus the subject of study for different applications. Recently, the individual effectiveness of tripyrrolic prodiginines and rhamnolipids against the plant-parasitic nematode Heterodera schachtii, which causes tremendous losses in crop plants, was described. Notably, rhamnolipid production in engineered Pseudomonas putida strains has already reached industrial implementation. However, the non-natural hydroxyl-decorated prodiginines, which are of particular interest in this study due to a previously described particularly good plant compatibility and low toxicity, are not as readily accessible. In the present study, a new effective hybrid synthetic route was established. This included the engineering of a novel P. putida strain to provide enhanced levels of a bipyrrole precursor and an optimization of mutasynthesis, i.e., the conversion of chemically synthesized and supplemented monopyrroles to tripyrrolic compounds. Subsequent semisynthesis provided the hydroxylated prodiginine. The prodiginines caused reduced infectiousness of H. schachtii for Arabidopsis thaliana plants resulting from impaired motility and stylet thrusting, providing the first insights on the mode of action in this context. Furthermore, the combined application with rhamnolipids was assessed for the first time and found to be more effective against nematode parasitism than the individual compounds. To obtain, for instance, 50% nematode control, it was sufficient to apply 7.8 μM hydroxylated prodiginine together with 0.7 μg/ml (~ 1.1 μM) di-rhamnolipids, which corresponded to ca. ¼ of the individual EC50 values. In summary, a hybrid synthetic route toward a hydroxylated prodiginine was established and its effects and combinatorial activity with rhamnolipids on plant-parasitic nematode H. schachtii are presented, demonstrating potential application as antinematodal agents.

Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a harmful cancer with high morbidity and poor prognosis. There is growing evidence that RNA methylation is closely related to the occurrence of cancer and its malignant biological behavior. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is the most common RNA modification in eukaryotes, and its multiple regulatory mechanisms in CRC have been elucidated from multiple perspectives. At the same time, the role of 5-methylcytosine (m5C), another important and widely distributed methylation modification, in CRC is far from being elucidated. Methods: In this study, we used RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing combined with bioinformatics methods to identify the m5C peaks on messenger RNA (mRNA) in HCT15 cells and sh-NSUN2 HCT15 cells, understand which transcripts are modified by m5C, and characterize the distribution of m5C modifications. In addition, we performed further bioinformatics analysis of the detected data to initially clarify the potential function of these m5C-modified transcripts. Results: We found significant differences in the distribution of m5C between HCT15 cells and sh-NSUN2 HCT15 cells, suggesting that m5C is likely to play a key role in the occurrence and development of CRC. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that genes altered by m5C were mainly enriched in phylogeny, synaptic membrane, and transcription factor binding. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)pathway analysis showed that the genes altered by m5C are enriched in ECM receptor interaction pathway, the circadian pathway, and the cAMP signaling pathway. Conclusion: Here, our study preliminarily revealed the different distribution patterns of m5C between HCT15 cell and sh-NSUN2 HCT15 cell. Our results open a new window to understand the role of m5C RNA methylation of mRNA in the development of CRC.

Objective: To develop a venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment scale for adult burn patients and to test its reliability and validity. Methods: The scale research method and multi-center cross-sectional survey method were used. Based on the results of literature analysis method and brain-storming method, the letter questionnaire for experts was formulated. Then 27 experts (9 doctors of burn department, 9 vascular surgeons, and 9 nurses) were performed with two rounds of correspondences by Delphi method, and the reliability of the experts was analyzed. The weight of each item was determined by optimal sequence diagram method and expert importance evaluation to form the VTE Risk Assessment Scale for Adult Burn Patients. A total of 223 adult burn inpatients, who were admitted to 5 tier Ⅲ grade A general hospitals including the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong Central Hospital, and the Second People's Hospital of Yibin City from October 1st 2019 to January 1st 2020, were selected as respondents by convenience sampling method. The first assessment was performed with the VTE Risk Assessment Scale for Adult Burn Patients within 24 hours of admission of patients, and real-time assessment was performed as the patients' condition and treatment changed. The highest value was taken as the result. Correlation coefficient method and critical ratio method were used for item analysis; Cronbach's α coefficient was used to test the internal consistency of scale; content validity index was used to analyze the content validity of the scale, and receiver's operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to test the predictive validity of the scale. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Pearson correlation analysis, independent sample t test, and Z test. Results: As four questionnaires in the first round of correspondence were rejected as unqualified, and another 4 experts were selected for the 2 rounds of correspondence. Most of them were aged 41 to 50 years with postgraduate degrees, engaging in the current profession for 11 to 30 years, and all of them had professional titles of associate senior or above. The scale, constructed through literature analysis, group brainstorming, and two rounds of correspondence, includes 3 primary items and 50 secondary items. In the first round of correspondence, the recovery rate of valid questionnaires and the ratio with expert opinions were 85.2% (23/27) and 47.8% (11/23), respectively. In the second round of correspondence, the recovery rate of valid questionnaires and the ratio with expert opinions were 100% (27/27) and 11.1% (3/27), respectively. The average collective authority coefficients of experts were both 0.90 in the 2 rounds of correspondence. The mean values of importance assignment, full score rate, and selection rate above 4 were 4.21, 52.5%, and 77.2%, respectively, in the first round of correspondence, and 4.28, 45.2%, and 85.8%, respectively, in the second round of correspondence. The mean coefficients of variation and the mean value of Kendall's coefficient of harmony for each item were 0.21 and 0.30 in the first round of correspondence, respectively, and 0.16 and 0.36 in the second round of correspondence, respectively. In the first and second rounds of correspondence, the Kendall's coefficients of harmony of 3 primary items (age and underlying diseases, burn injury factors, and burn treatment factors) and total secondary items were statistically significant (with χ2 values of 121.46, 107.09, 116.00, 331.97, 169.97, 152.12, 141.54, and 471.70, P<0.01). The weights of primary items for age and underlying diseases, burn injury factors, and burn treatment factors were 0.04, 0.05, and 0.07, respectively. The weights of secondary items ranged from 0.71 to 0.99, with assigned values of 3 to 6. The total burn area of 223 patients ranged from 1% to 89% total body surface area, and the patients were aged from 19 to 96 years, with the risk assessment score from 0 to 98. Nine patients developed VTE, with a risk assessment score of 41 to 90. The scores of 37 items were significantly positively correlated with the total score of scale (with r values of 0.14 to 0.61, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the items were retained. There were 36 secondary items with statistically significant differences between the patients in high-score group and low-score group (with Z values of -4.88 to -2.09, t values of -11.63 to -2.09, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the items were retained. The total Cronbach's α coefficient of scale was 0.88. The total content validity index of scale was 0.95. The optimal threshold of the scale for the diagnosis of VTE was 40, at which the sensitivity was 88.9%, the specificity was 87.4%, the Youden index was 0.87, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.96 (with 95% confidence interval of 0.93 to 0.99, P<0.01). Conclusions: The age and underlying diseases, burn injury factors, and burn treatment factors are the risk factors for VTE in adult burn patients. The VTE risk assessment scale for adult burn patients developed based on these factors has good reliability and validity, and provide good reference value for clinical VTE risk assessment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of omalizumab in patients with refractory allergic asthma using meta-analysis. Methods: We searched databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and the website of ClinicalTrials. gov registry for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), using the search terms: ("anti-IgE" OR "anti-immunoglobulin E" OR "anti-IgE antibody" OR "omalizumab" OR "rhuMAb-E25" OR "Xolair") AND ("allergic asthma"). The time was up to September 19th 2020. Review Manager 5.4 software and Stata16 software were used to calculate pooled RR or WMD, perform heterogeneity test, and assess publication bias. Results: Fifteen RCTs with 6 316 patients in total (omalizumab, n=3 469; placebo, n=2 847) met our selection criteria. Comparing with placebo, omalizumab reduced the risk of asthma exacerbations during both stable-inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) phase (RR=0.69, 95%CI: 0.63-0.75, P<0.001; I2=39.0%, P=0.090) and ICS-reduction phase (RR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.46-0.66, P<0.001; I2=41.0%, P=0.180), reduced emergency visits (RR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.38-0.73, P<0.001; I2=0, P=0.420), made a significant reduction in dosage of ICS (RR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.25-1.45, P<0.001; I2=22.0%, P=0.280) and even withdrew from ICS completely (RR=1.80, 95%CI: 1.41-2.31, P<0.001; I2=57.0%, P=0.070). Omalizumab significantly improved asthma-related quality of life (RR=1.81, 95%CI: 1.51-2.17). The use of rescue bronchodilators was significantly reduced in the omalizumab group (RR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.67-0.92) but there was no significant difference in the dosage of rescue bronchodilators (puff per day) (WMD=-0.32, 95%CI: -0.77-0.13). Patients taking omalizumab did not increase the frequency of any adverse events (RR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.98-1.03) and serious adverse events (RR=0.89, 95%CI: 0.74-1.06). Conclusions: Omalizumab is an ideal adjunctive treatment for refractory allergic asthma with good efficacy and safety. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the appropriate duration of treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the efficacy of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody for children with refractory or relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods: Clinical data including short-term efficacy, long-term efficacy and adverse reaction of Hodgkin lymphoma children treated with anti-PD-1 antibody in Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2017 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Efficacy was evaluated as complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), progressed disease (PD) and no response. Results: A total of 6 cases were included, including 5 males and 1 female. The age at the start of anti-PD-1 antibody treatment was 11.6 (10.2, 13.3) years, including 3 cases of mixed cellularity type, 2 cases of nodular sclerosis type, and 1 case of nodular lymphocyte-predominant type. There were 4 cases of stage Ⅳ and 2 cases of stage Ⅲ. All cases were assigned to the high-risk group, and 5 cases had B symptoms, all cases were refractory or relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma before the start of anti-PD-1 antibody treatment. Early evaluation showed that within 12 weeks of the treatment, 3 cases achieved PR and 3 cases achieved SD, while late evaluation showed that after 16 weeks of the treatment, 5 cases achieved CR and 1 case achieved PR. None of the children progressed during treatment. The follow-up time was 27 (21,41) months. Among all cases, 5 cases had event-free survival and sustained remission, 1 case had fever about 4 weeks after the drug withdrawal, finally he was confirmed to be transformed to B cell lymphoma between diffuse B cells and classic Hodgkin lymphoma. All the patients were well tolerated with anti-PD-1 antibody therapy. No adverse reactions such as high fever, chills, rash, etc. were observed during infusion. None of the patients were delayed, dose reduction or withdrawal due to adverse reactions. Two cases had reactive skin vascular hyperplasia during the treatment, without pain or itching, and they recovered on their own after stopping anti-PD-1 antibody therapy without other special treatment. Conclusion: Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for children with refractory or relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma have good efficacy and tolerable side effects.

Abstract
BackgroundIn one of our previous studies, we demonstrated that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19X plays a crucial role in the development of TGFβ driven fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and other fibrotic diseases1.ObjectivesTo define the functional relevance of H19X in endothelial cell (EC) activation as a decisive process in SSc vasculopathy.MethodsCorrelation of H19X expression and microvascular gene signature was computed on bulk RNA-Seq data derived from SSc skin biopsies of patients enrolled in the multicentre Prospective Registry of Early Systemic Sclerosis cohort (PRESS, n=48 SSc vs. n=33 healthy controls, HCs). Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data were collected from 27 diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) and 10 HC skin biopsies. Single cells were barcoded and encapsulated in droplets using a 10X Genomics system. After cDNA synthesis, the libraries were prepared and sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq-500 platform. Seurat package in R (v.3.0) was used to perform data analysis. EC were identified by enrichment of EC markers CLDN5, VWF and PECAM1. One thousand five hundred eighty-three and 3398 EC were identified from HC and SSc patients, respectively. Cells were analysed for the expression of H19X and EC activation markers. Additionally, differential expression and pathway enrichment analysis between H19X expressing cells and H19X negative cells was carried out. The function of H19X was investigated in human dermal microvascular EC (HDMEC) by silencing, using locked nucleic acid antisense oligonucleotides (LNA GapmeRs). Gene expression was measured by qPCR. Protein levels of endothelial adhesion molecules were analysed by Western Blot. Endothelial adhesion was evaluated by co-culture of HDMEC and fluorescently labelled peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).ResultsH19X expression was found significantly upregulated in SSc skin biopsies of the PRESS cohort (p<0.0001). The expression of H19X positively correlated with the microvascular endothelial cell gene signature in all subjects (SSc and HC, R=0.43, p<0.0001), confirming that H19X is expressed in this cell type. To determine if H19X might be an important factor in SSc EC dysfunction scRNAseq was performed. This analysis revealed a significant upregulation of H19X in SSc EC as compared to HC EC (p=0.0095). H19X was found to be upregulated in several EC subclusters including arterial (SEMA3G, HEY1), capillary (CA4, RGCC), venous (ACKR1, VCAM1) and lymphatic (PROX1, LYVE1). H19X displayed highest expression in injured SSc EC and capillary SSc EC. Co-expression analysis of the scRNA-seq data revealed higher expression of several adhesion molecules in EC expressing H19X, including VCAM1, ICAM and JAM3. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that differentially expressed genes in H19X expressing cells were highly associated with the ‘Cell adhesion molecule’ pathway (p=2.209e-7). H19X silencing lead to a significant downregulation of mRNA levels of genes encoding adhesion molecules VCAM1 (n=7, p<0.05) and E-selectin (n=7, p<0.01) at 48h after transfection. VCAM1, but not E-Selectin, was also reduced at protein level as revealed by Western Blot (n=3). The functional relevance of H19X on endothelial adhesion was confirmed by PBMCs with H19X silenced HDMEC where we were able to demonstrate a significant decrease in leucocyte-to-endothelial cell adhesion (n=5, p<0.05).ConclusionOur results show that lncRNA H19X could contribute to EC activation in SSc vasculopathy, acting as a regulator of expression of adhesion molecules in EC.References[1]Pachera E, et al.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the dynamic changes of brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) damage in Parkinson' s disease (PD) -like mice by paraquat (PQ) . Methods: In October 2019, 36 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the exposure group and the control group, with 18 mice in each group. The mice in the exposure group were given intraperitoneal injection of 15 mg/kg PQ, and the mice in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% saline, twice a week for 8 weeks. Neurobehavioral changes (pole climbing test, swimming test, open field test, tail hanging test, high plus maze test and water maze test) were observed at 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks, respectively, and the changes of motor ability, emotion and cognitive function were evaluated. The brain tissue of mice were taken and stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) to observe the pathological changes of LC. Nissl staining was used to detect the changes of neuronal Nissl bodies in LC. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was used to detect the expression of neuron nuclear antigen (NeuN) , dopamine (DA) neurons and norepinephrine (NE) neuron markers tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) , α-synuclein (α-syn) in substantia nigra (SN) and LC. The expression levels of NeuN, TH and α-syn in the midbrain and brainstem were detected by Western blotting. TUNEL staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis in LC. Results: Compared with the 4th week of PQ exposure group, the time of pole climbing and swimming immobility were gradually increased, the ratio of open arm residence time of high plus maze test and the number of times of the platform and the residence time of platform quadrant in water maze test were gradually decreased (P<0.05) in the exposure group with the progress of exposure time. The results of HE and Nissl staining showed that the neurons in LC gradually arranged loosely, the nucleus were deeply stained, the cytoplasm was pyknosis, and the number of Nissl bodies gradually decreased (P<0.05) in the exposure group with the progress of exposure time. IHC results showed that the number of NeuN and TH positive cells in SN and LC of mice were gradually decreased, and the positive expression of α-syn was gradually increased (P<0.05) in the exposure group with the progress of exposure time. Western blotting results showed that the expression levels of NeuN and TH in the midbrain and brainstem were gradually decreased, and the expression level of α-syn was gradually increased (P<0.05) in the exposure group with the progress of exposure time. TUNEL staining showed that the apoptosis rates of neurons in LC were gradually increased (P<0.05) in the exposure group with the progress of exposure time. Conclusion: PQ induces progressive damage in the LC area of PD-like mice, which may be caused by the abnormal accumulation of pathological α-syn in the LC area.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the intestinal time-dependent changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) mouse model constructed by intraperitoneal injection of paraquat (PQ) and to establish the brain-gut axis connection initially. Methods: In October 2019, 48 mice were randomly divided into treated group and control groups: treated 4-week (P-4) group, treated 6-week (P-6) group, treated 8-week (P-8) group, control 4-week (C-4) group, control 6-week (C-6) group, and control 8-week (C-8) group. The treated group was injected with 15 mg/kg PQ solution and the control group was injected with 0.9% saline (0.2 ml/20 g) by intraperitoneal injection twice a week. After the initial state (0 weeks) and the treatment at the end of 4, 6 and 8 weeks, the mood changes and motor functions of mice were assessed by neurobehavioral tests (open field test, pole climbing test, tail suspension test and elevated plus maze test) . And the number of fecal pellets for 1 h and water content were calculated to assess the functional status of the gastrointestinal tract. Western blotting experiments were performed to detect the expression levels of α-synuclein (α-syn) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the nigrostriatal region of the mouse brain, the tight junction markers zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and Occludin, the inflammatory markers of integrin αM subunit (CD11b) , inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) , high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) , interleukin-1β (IL-1β) , and the neuronal markers βⅢ-tubulin and α-syn protein in the colon.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression levels of colonic tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the expression levels of TH in the substantia nigra region of the midbrain, and the co-localization of colonic intestine neuronal marker (βⅢ-tubulin) and Ser129 α-syn in the colonic. Results: Compared with the initial state (0 weeks) and C-8 group, mice in the P-8 group had significantly higher pole climbing test scores and resting time, and significantly lower total active distance, mean active speed, percentage of open arm entry and 1 h fecal instances (P<0.05) . After poisoning, the 1 h fecal water content of model mice first increased and then decreased, the P-4 and P-6 groups were significantly higher than the simultaneous point control group, and the P-8 groups were significantly lower than the initial state (P<0.05) . Compared with control, P-4 and P-6 groups, the expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin in the P-8 group were significantly decreased (P<0.05) . Compared with control group, the expression levels of CD11b and IL-1β in the P-4 group were significantly increased (P<0.05) . Compared with control and P-4 group, the expression levels of CD11b, iNOS, HMGB1 and IL-1β in the P-6 and P-8 groups were significantly increased (P<0.05) . Compared with the control and P-4 groups, the expression levels of βⅢ-tubulin in the colon of mice in the P-8 group were significantly decreased, and the expression levels of α-syn and Ser129 α-syn were significantly increased (P<0.05) . The expression level of Ser129 α-syn in the colon of model mice was negatively correlated with the expression level of βⅢ-tubulin (r(s)=-0.9149, 95%CI: -0.9771--0.7085, P<0.001) . Ser129 α-syn and βⅢ-tubulin co-localization in the colonic intermuscular plexus region increased gradually with the time of exposure. Compared with the control, P-4 and P-6 groups, the expression level of TH in the nigrostriatal region of the brain was significantly decreased, and the expression levels of α-syn and Ser129 α-syn were significantly increased in the P-8 group (P<0.05) . Correlation analysis showed that the relative expression level of Ser129 α-syn in the nigrostriatal region of the brain was negatively correlated with the expression level of TH in the model mice (r(s)=-0.9716, 95% CI: -0.9925--0.8953, P<0.001) . Conclusion: The PD mouse model is successfully established by PQ, and the intestinal function of the model mice is reduced in a time-dependent manner. And on this basis, it is preliminary determined that the abnormal aggregation of α-syn may be an important substance connecting the brain-gut axis.

Background
Deep neural network may assist echocardiography interpretation in several tasks; however, the lack of expandability hindered its broader application since physicians couldn’t realize the rationale of interpretation clearly and comfortably.
Method
Retrospectively, we manually annotated 26,465 transthoracic echocardiography images into 29 classes for model development in 4:1 ratio as training and validation datasets. We added an autoencoder component into our model, adapted from capsule net, for view-classifying to deconvolute the feature maps of last layer as decoder for human interpretation. The performance of view classification was measured in accuracy and confusion matrix, and the interpretability of model were assessed by cardiologist.
Result
After appropriate model training, the accuracy of our model achieved averaged 98.2% for echocardiography view classification, ranged from lowest 80.0% in suprasternal view to 100% of several more common view in validation dataset. The successful deconvolution of feature map to reconstruct images showed essential independent components of echocardiography view and could be interpretated by cardiologist and clinical physicians.
Conclusion
With the use of autoencoder in model for echocardiography view classification showed maintainable good performance in accuracy and facilitated clinical interpretation to enhance its reliability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of the purple sign for predicting long-term rebleeding events in cirrhotic patients following endoscopic selective varices devascularization. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 97 patients with liver cirrhosis, who had a history of gastroesophageal variceal bleeding and underwent endoscopic selective varices devascularization. Thirty-two of the patients showed purple sign after endoscopic treatment. We used propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize the selection bias of the patients (purple sign vs no purple sign) and reduce the intergroup differences of clinical characteristics. The primary outcome measure of this study was cumulative rebleeding events after endoscopic selective varices devascularization. RESULTS The 1-year rebleeding rate (27.0% vs 36.7%) or 6-month rebleeding rate (10.9% vs 26.9%) following endoscopic treatment was not significantly different between the purple sign group and no purple sign group before PSM (P=0.2385). But after PSM, the 1-year rebleeding rate (28.2% vs 56.4%) and 6-month rebleeding rate (5.0% vs 37.0%) were significantly lower in the purple sign group than in the no purple sign group (P=0.0304). CONCLUSIONS The presence of purple sign indicates a lower risk of rebleeding after endoscopic treatment of cirrhotic gastroesophageal varices and a potentially favorable treatment response after endoscopic therapy, thus providing a clinical indicator for stratification of the patients for sequential endoscopic sessions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) is a subtype of hypertension, which is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) <140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg by 2018 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline and 2019 National Institute for Health and Care Excellent (NICE). Whereas some previous studies have demonstrated the significant association between IDH and cardiovascular (CV) events, some have not.
Purpose
To assess the association between IDH and the risk of CV events, CV mortality, and all-cause mortality.
Methods
We conducted a systematic search for publications using Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception through March 2021 for prospective cohort studies exploring the association between IDH and CV events, CV mortality, and all-cause mortality. Relative risks (RR) or hazard ratios were extracted from the selected studies. Random effect models with inverse variance weighting were used to calculate the pooled RR and 95% confidence interval (CI). The primary outcome was a composite of total CV events including CV mortality. The secondary outcomes were CV mortality and all-cause mortality. We defined the IDH as SBP <140 mmHg and DBP ≥90 mmHg, reference group as BP less than 140/90mmHg.
Results
Overall, 15 studies were identified including 1049587 participants (5.5% IDH). For the primary outcome, IDH was significantly associated with risk of CV events (RR, 1.40 [95% CI, 1.18–1.66], p<0.001). The increased risk of CV events was also observed in subgroup analyses based on age (less or more than 50) and sex. However, in further stratified analysis based on geographical region, only the Asia population showed a significant association with increased risk of CV events, whereas results were null in Europe and North America populations. For the secondary outcomes, IDH was significantly associated with increased CV mortality (RR [95% CI], 1.41 [1.12–1.78], p<0.001) but not with all-cause mortality (RR [95% CI], 1.13 [0.86–1.48], p=0.378). The sensitivity analysis showed the overall results did not vary significantly after exclusion of any one study.
Conclusions
IDH is associated with increased risk of CV events and CV mortality. Further, more large-scale prospective epidemiological cohorts are needed to confirm our conclusion.

Abstract
Pudong White (PDW) pigs, historically originating from Shanghai, are the only Chinese indigenous pigs characterised by their completely white coats, with the exception of Rongchang pigs. However, there is limited information concerning their overall genetic structure or relationship with other breeds, especially the East Chinese (ECN) and European pigs. To uncover the genetic structure, selection signatures, and potential exotic introgression in PDW pigs, we sampled 15 PDW pigs using whole-genome sequencing (~20×). We then conducted in-depth population genetic analyses in 320 pigs from 27 global pig groups, namely, European wild boars, Chinese wild boars, and outgroup. Neighbour-joining tree and principal component analysis confirmed that PDW pigs belonged to the ecotype of ECN pigs. Both f3, D-statistics, and structure analysis showed that PDW pigs shared apparent alleles with Large White (LW) pigs. Three statistics, rIBD, a haplotype heat map and copy number variation, further indicated that PDW pigs shared apparent alleles with LW pigs at the KIT Proto-Oncogene, Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (KIT) and PARG-MARCHF8 loci, suggesting that the lineage of European pigs in PDW originated from LW pigs. After further detecting the KIT mutations in different pig breeds, PDW was confirmed to have the same duplication region 1, duplication region 2, and the splicing mutation on intron 17 of KIT as LW pigs that determine the white coat colour phenotype in European white pigs. We hypothesised that LW pigs were imported to China ∼110-160 years ago according to the admixture time estimate and then crossed with ECN pigs, resulting in the introgression of the KIT alleles that produce the white coat colour phenotype in the PDW pig breed. To our knowledge, this study presents the first thorough description of the genetic structure of PDW pigs via whole-genome resequencing data; moreover, the results provide a basis for the national project for the conservation of this unique Chinese local population.
