Abstract
N2H4 is a common raw material used in the production of pesticides and has good water solubility, so it may contaminate water sources and eventually enter living organisms, causing serious health problems. Viscosity is an important indicator of the cellular microenvironment and an early warning signal for many diseases. The high reactivity of hydrazine depletes glutathione (GSH) in hepatocytes, causing oxidative stress ultimately leading to significant changes in intracellular viscosity and even death. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an effective method to detect N2H4 and viscosity in environmental and biological systems. On this basis, we developed two fluorescent probes, BDD and BHD, based on xanthene and 2-benzothiazole acetonitrile. The experimental results show that BHD and BDD have good imaging capabilities for N2H4 in cells, zebrafish and Arabidopsis. BHD and BDD also showed sensitive detection and fluorescence enhancement in the near-infrared region when the intracellular viscosity was changed. Notably, the probe BDD has also successfully imaged N2H4 in a variety of real water samples.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can be used as a marker for the occurrence of oxidative stress in the organism. Lysosomes serve as intracellular digestive sites, and when the concentration of H2O2 in them is abnormal, lysosomal function is often impaired, leading to the development of diseases. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a gaseous signaling molecule that scavenges H2O2 from cells and tissues, thereby maintaining the redox environment of the body. However, most of the reported hydrogen peroxide fluorescent probes so far can only detect H2O2, but cannot maintain the intracellular redox environment. In this paper, an H2O2 fluorescent probe LN-HOD with lysosomal targeting properties was designed and synthesized by combining the H2O2 recognition site with a naphthylamine fluorophore via a thiocarbamate moiety. The probe has the advantages of large Stokes shift (110 nm), high sensitivity and good H2S release capability. The probe LN-HOD can be used to detect H2O2 in cells, zebrafish and plant roots. In addition, LN-HOD detects changes in the concentration of H2O2 in plant roots when Arabidopsis is stressed by cadmium ion (Cd2+). And through its ability to release H2S, it can help to remove excess H2O2 and maintain the redox environment in cells, zebrafish and plant roots. The present work provides new ideas for the detection and assisted removal of H2O2, which contributes to the in-depth study of the cellular microenvironment in organisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of oral and transdermal estradiol in alleviating menopausal symptoms. METHOD A total of 257 recently menopausal women were randomized into two groups. The t-E2 group received transdermal estradiol (2.5 g per day) (n = 128) and the o-E2V group received oral estradiol valerate (2 mg per day) (n = 129) for 24 weeks; both groups received micronized progesterone (200 mg per day). The primary outcome measure is the change in the modified Kupperman Menopausal Index (KMI) after 24 weeks of treatment. Menopausal symptoms were recorded at screening and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks using both the KMI and the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). RESULTS Significant amelioration was observed by KMI and MRS scores for both groups after treatment (p < 0.001). The mean KMI scores showed no difference between the two groups. The mean MRS scores were similar between the two groups at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. The results showed statistical differences after 12 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment (p = 0.005 and p = 0.011). Both the after-treatment scores minus the baseline scores of KMI and MRS and the incidence of adverse effects showed no difference between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that both transdermal and oral estradiol are effective in relieving menopausal symptoms, with little difference in treatment efficacy and safety.

Abstract
As a biomarker of oxidative stress, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a complex role in organisms, including regulating cell signaling, respiration, the immune system, and other life processes. Therefore, it is important to develop a tool that can simply and effectively monitor H2O2 levels in organisms and the environment. In this work, naphthalene fluorophores with a borate structure were introduced into chitosan (CTS) azide, and a CTS-based fluorescence sensor (CTS-HP) was designed for sensitive H2O2 detection. The biocompatibility and degradability of CTS endowed CTS-HP with reduced biotoxicity compared with organic fluorescent dyes, and the substitution degree of fluorophores on the CTS chains was 0.703. The randomly coiled chain structure of the CTS-HP probe enabled the boronic acid recognition sites on the fluorophores to achieve the enrichment of analyte H2O2 through a synergistic effect. Therefore, the probe CTS-HP (10 μg mL-1) exhibited a 21-fold fluorescence enhancement and good detection limit (LOD = 8.98 nM) in H2O2 solution, reaching the maximum fluorescence response faster (within 16 min). The probe also successfully achieved the fluorescence imaging of endogenous and exogenous H2O2 in zebrafish and living cells and labeled the recovery experiment of H2O2 in real water samples (recoveries rates of 90.93-102.9 % and RSD < 3.09 %).

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a sulfur-containing amino acid that plays an important role in living systems. The most common way to supplement the body with exogenous Cys is through the consumption of Cys-rich foods. Therefore, it is important to detect and analyze Cys in living systems and food samples. However, most of the Cys fluorescent probes developed so far are limited to the detection of the cellular environment only, and very few probes can take into account the detection of Cys in plant roots and food samples. In this paper, a novel fluorescent probe LN-NCS targeting the detection of Cys in lysosomes was designed and synthesized by modifying the naphthalimide fluorophore. The probe LN-NCS has a large Stokes shift (140 nm), low cytotoxicity, low detection limit (16.3 nM), and high selectivity, and probe LN-NCS reacts with Cys to produce the compound LN-NH2 with good fluorescence quantum yield (Ф = 0.81). Probe LN-NCS can be used to detect Cys in cells, zebrafish, plant roots, food samples, and environmental water samples. In addition, by modeling cellular inflammation, we have demonstrated that probe LN-NCS can detect changes in Cys concentration induced by cellular inflammation, providing a potential tool to better study the cellular inflammatory environment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, immunohistochemical profiles, molecular features, and prognosis of subungual melanoma in situ (SMIS). Methods: Thirty cases of SMIS were collected in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China from 2018 to 2022. The clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Histopathologic evaluation and immunohistochemical studies were carried out. By using Vysis melanoma fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe kit, combined with 9p21(CDKN2A) and 8q24(MYC) assays were performed. Results: There were 8 males and 22 females. The patients' ages ranged from 22 to 65 years (median 48 years). All patients presented with longitudinal melanonychia involving a single digit. Thumb was the most commonly affected digit (16/30, 53.3%). 56.7% (17/30) of the cases presented with Hutchinson's sign. Microscopically, melanocytes proliferated along the dermo-epithelial junction. Hyperchromatism and nuclear pleomorphism were two of the most common histological features. The melanocyte count ranged from 30 to 185. Most cases showed small to medium nuclear enlargement (29/30, 96.7%). Pagetoid spread was seen in all cases. Intra-epithelial mitoses were identified in 56.7% (17/30) of the cases. Involvement of nailfold was found in 19 cases, 4 of which were accompanied by cutaneous adnexal extension. The positive rates of SOX10, PNL2, Melan A, HMB45, S-100, and PRAME were 100.0%, 100.0%, 96.0%, 95.0%, 76.9%, and 83.3%, respectively. FISH analysis was positive in 6/9 of the cases. Follow-up data were available in 28 patients, and all of them were alive without disease. Conclusions: SMIS mainly shows small to medium-sized cells. High melanocyte count, hyperchromatism, nuclear pleomorphism, Pagetoid spreading, intra-epithelial mitosis, nailfold involvement, and cutaneous adnexal extension are important diagnostic hallmarks. Immunohistochemistry including SOX10 and PRAME, combined with FISH analysis, is valuable for the diagnosis of SMIS.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a common environmental toxicant that can harm the human respiratory tract and nervous system when exposed for long period of time. As a carcinogen, HCHO also increases the risk of cancer in humans. HCHO can be produced endogenously in living systems and plays an essential role in physiological and biochemical reactions and pathogenesis. Therefore, monitoring the level of HCHO in vivo and in vitro has become the focus of attention. The designed naphthalene fluorophore was introduced onto modified chitosan to prepare a chitosan-based fluorescent probe (CS-FA) for HCHO detection. Compared to other small-molecule probe analogs for the detection of HCHO, the randomly coiled polymer chain of chitosan enabled CS-FA to "enrich" HCHO using the synergistic binding of hydrazino-naphthalimide recognition sites. Thus, the reaction of the analyte with the recognition site was accelerated, resulting in a faster equilibrium fluorescence response (2-3 min) and high sensitivity. In addition, the introduction of biomass material chitosan also improved the biocompatibility of the probe. Then a series of composite materials (test strips and hydrogel) were prepared based on the probe to expand the application form of the probe.

Abstract
The quality of wine can be affected by excess Cu2+ due to the occurrence of oxidation reactions or precipitation. Therefore, it is essential to use simple and effective testing methods to ensure the Cu2+ content in wine. In this work, we designed and synthesized a rhodamine polymer fluorescent probe (PEG-R). The water solubility of PEG-R was improved by the introduction of polyethylene glycol, which improved the performance and broadened its application in the food field. The PEG-R was characterized by high sensitivity, selectivity and fast response to Cu2+ and was able to complete the response process within 30 s, with approximately 29-fold fluorescence enhancement of the probe after exposure to Cu2+, the limit of detection (LOD) was 1.295 × 10-6 M. The probe can be used for the determination of Cu2+ in living cells, zebrafish, white wine and food products, and it was made into practical gels and test strips.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4) plays an important role in industrial production, but it is highly toxic, leaking or exposing it will pollute the environment and cause serious harm to human beings. Therefore, it is necessary to use a simple and effective method to detect N2H4 in environmental systems and organisms. Herein, a novel water-soluble fluorescent probe based on coumarin fluorophore, 2-(7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (C-Z1), is reported. The fluorescence intensity of the probe at 530 nm was enhanced gradually with the addition of N2H4, and the maximum enhancement was about 28 times. The probe has good selectivity and sensitivity, the detection limit of hydrazine hydrate is 1.48 × 10-7 M, and the response mechanism of the probe is proved by theoretical calculation and experiment. C-Z1 has been shown to detect N2H4 in a variety of environmental samples, including water, soil, air, cells, zebrafish and plants. In addition, C-Z1 can be made into test strips for easy portability and used for rapid quantitative detection of N2H4 in the field by its distinct change in fluorescence color. Thus, C-Z1 has great potential for the analysis and detection of environmental contaminants.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease. There have been some studies on the treatment of OA with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Neobavaisoflavone (NBIF) is an isoflavone isolated from TCM Psoralea corylifolia L (also called 'Buguzhi') and shows anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to explore the potential role of NBIF in treating OA. The rat chondrocytes were dealt with interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) for inducing an in-vitro OA model and a rat OA model was established by medial collateral ligament resection. Followed by NBIF treatment, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis. The expression of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress factors in chondrocyte medium and rat serum was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Safranin O-Fast Green staining were carried out to examine the histopathological changes in knee joints. Caspase-3, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), and hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF-2α) expressions were monitored by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blot, and/or immunohistochemistry. As indicated by the results, NBIF mitigated cartilage matrix degradation and chondrocyte apoptosis in the OA rat model. NBIF hampered IL-1β-mediated cell viability inhibition, apoptosis, inflammatory reactions, and oxidative stress of chondrocytes. Moreover, NBIF suppressed NF-κB phosphorylation and HIF-2α expression. HIF-2α overexpression induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in chondrocytes, while NBIF reversed HIF-2α overexpression-caused chondrocyte damage. Overall, NBIF had antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative stress effects in OA models by impeding NF-κB/HIF-2α axis, suggesting that NBIF has potential therapeutic effects in OA.

Abstract
As the second most abundant natural polymer after cellulose, lignin has received considerable attention recently due to its reproducibility, safety, and biodegradability. Studies are now focusing on the development of new lignin applications to replace petroleum-based chemicals. Unfortunately, lignin has several inherent problems, such as poor water solubility and a tendency to agglomerate. However, after chemical modification, lignin can gain new functions through the introduction of new functional groups. For example, amphiphilic lignin is a polymer that is soluble in both water and organic solvents. Amphiphilic lignin polymers can be divided into anionic, cationic, and anionic-cationic amphoteric lignin-based polymers, according to the ions contained in their molecular structure. Amphiphilic lignin polymers also have a wide range of applications in various industrial fields and can be used as wetting agents, detergents, controlled release fertilizers, adsorbents, and emulsifiers. Thus, this article reviews research progress on the synthesis and applications of amphiphilic lignin-derived polymers over the past 10 years, providing a theoretical reference for the utilization of high-added-value and high-performance lignin.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the most significant signal molecules and plays an important role in regulating human physiological and pathological processes. In this study, a novel Pd-based complex (Pd-BNP-OH) was developed for endogenous CO detection. The structure and morphology of Pd-BNP-OH was characterized by SEM, XPS, and NMR analyses. When Pd-BNP-OH was reacted with CO, a strong fluorescence enhancement at 510 nm was observed. In addition, Pd-BNP-OH exhibited high stability and selectivity toward CO in PBS buffer. In biological experiments, Pd-BNP-OH exhibited little cytotoxicity in cellular environment, and a bright fluorescence turn on was observed in the presence of exogenous CO and endogenous generated CO. The probe was then applied for CO detection in live zebrafish by both one-photon and two-photon excitation. Significantly, Pd-BNP-OH has excellent two-photon property, controllable structure and high biocompatibility. These features enable the probe to detect endogenously generated carbon monoxide in live organisms successfully.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between nutritional risk status and clinical outcome in children with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Methods: The clinical data (basic information, clinical symptoms and laboratory test results) of 112 patients with TBM, who were admitted to Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases of West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University,from January 2013 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the nutritional risk group and the non-nutritional risk group according to the assessment of the nutritional risk by the STRONGkids Scale. The variables of basic information, clinical symptoms and laboratory test measurements etc. were compared between the two groups by using Student t test, Rank sum test or Chi-square test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze nutritional risk factors. Results: Among 112 patient with TBM, 55 were males and 57 females. There were 62 cases in the nutritional risk group and 50 cases in the non-nutritional risk group. The proportion of cases with nutritional risk was 55.4% (62/112). Patients in the nutritional risk who lived in rural areas, had symptoms of brain nerve damage, convulsions, emaciation and anorexia, with a diagnosis time of ≥21 days, and the level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein were all higher than those in the non-nutritional risk group ((50 cases (80.6%) vs. 32 cases (64.0%), 20 cases (32.3%) vs.8 cases (16.0%), 33 cases (53.2%) vs. 15 cases (30.0%), 30 cases (48.4%) vs. 2 cases (4.0%), 59 cases (95.2%) vs. 1 case (2.0%),41 cases (66.1%) vs.18 cases (36.0%), 1 406 (1 079, 2 068) vs. 929 (683, 1 208) mg/L, χ2=3.91, 3.90, 6.10, 26.72, 98.58, 10.08, Z=4.35, all P<0.05). The levels of serum albumin,hemoglobin,lymphocyte count, white blood cell count, and CSF glucose were significantly lower in patients with nutritional risk ((36±5) vs. (41±4) g/L, (110±17) vs. (122±14) g/L, 1.4 (1.0, 2.0)vs. 2.3 (1.6, 3.8)×109/L, 7.8 (6.3, 10.0)×109 vs. 10.0 (8.3, 12.8)×109/L, 1.0 (0.8, 1.6) vs. 2.1 (1.3, 2.5) mmol/L, t=-6.15, -4.22, Z=-4.86, -3.92, -4.16, all P<0.05).Increased levels of serum albumin (OR=0.812, 95%CI:0.705-0.935, P=0.004) and lymphocyte count (OR=0.609, 95%CI:0.383-0.970, P=0.037) may reduce the nutritional risk of children with TBM; while convulsions (OR=3.853, 95%CI:1.116-13.308, P=0.033) and increased level of CSF protein (OR=1.001,95%CI:1.000-1.002, P=0.015) may increase the nutritional risk of children with TBM. Similarly, the rate of complications and drug-induced liver injury was higher in the nutritional risk group (47 cases (75.8%) vs. 15 cases(30.0%), 31 cases (50.0%) vs.8 cases (16.0%), χ2=23.50, 14.10, all P<0.05). Moreover, the length of hospital stay was also longer in the nutritional risk group ((27±13) vs. (18±7) d, t=4.38, P<0.05). Conclusions: Children with TBM have a high incidence of nutritional risk. Convulsive, the level of serum albumin, the level of lymphocyte count and CSF protein may affect the nutritional risk of children with TBM. The nutritional risk group has a high incidence of complications and heavy economic burden.It is necessary to carry out nutritional screening and nutritional support for children with TBM as early as possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultra-low-dose estradiol plus dydrogesterone for vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women in China (trial registration CTR20160689). METHODS A total of 332 patients were randomized to continuous combined estradiol 0.5 mg + dydrogesterone 2.5 mg or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was change in the number of hot flushes per day from baseline to end of treatment. Secondary efficacy endpoints included change in the number of moderate-to-severe hot flushes per day, menopausal symptoms from baseline and quality of life. RESULTS Between baseline and end of treatment, change in the mean number of hot flushes per day was -5.9 (95% confidence interval [CI] - 6.6, -5.2) with estradiol + dydrogesterone and -4.5 (95% CI -5.1, -3.8) with placebo, with a mean difference of -1.4 hot flushes per day (95% CI -2.2, -0.7; p < 0.001). Significant differences in favor of estradiol + dydrogesterone were also observed in several secondary efficacy endpoints. The study treatment was well tolerated. CONCLUSION Continuous combined estradiol 0.5 mg + dydrogesterone 2.5 mg reduced hot flushes in postmenopausal women in China. This ultra-low-dose regimen provides an additional option for women experiencing the vasomotor symptoms of menopause. These data are consistent with previous results in other populations.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a vital role in organism due to its strong oxidizability, especially in resisting the invasion of pathogens. Cancer cells have abnormal concentrations of hydrogen peroxide due to their disordered reproduction. In complex biological systems, however, conventional fluorescent probes based solely on their fluorescent response to abnormal H2O2 overexpression in cancer cells are not enough to distinguish cancer cells from other unhealthy or immune cells. Therefore, it is necessary to develop other methods to allow the probe to selectively enter the cancer cells and perform fluorescence imaging of the hydrogen peroxide in the cancer cells. Herein, we developed a biotin-guided, two-photon fluorescent probe (BT-HP) for sensitive detection of H2O2 in cancer cells. Through the study on the properties of the probe, it was found that the probe can selectively enter cancer cells. The depth penetration imaging of H2O2 in cancer cells and tumor tissues by two-photon microscope proves the potential of the probe BT-HP as a tumor targeting H2O2 biosensor. The probe was further applied to detect hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells during the ferroptosis process.

Abstract
Viscosity is an important parameter for evaluating cell health, and abnormal viscosity can cause a variety of intracellular organelle function disorders. The mitochondria are a key organelle in cells, and the viscosity of the mitochondria determines the state of the cell. In this work, we report a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe, referred to as NI-VD, that has a large Stokes-shift and a satisfactory response multiple. NI-VD can sensitively detect changes in cell viscosity in cells and tissues, and it can effectively avoid interference from the overlap of excitation and emission light. The fluorescence spectrum shows that NI-VD has maximum emission peaks at 730 nm, and the fluorescence intensity is amplified with an increase in the solution viscosity. The response from pure PBS solution to glycerol changes by 13-fold. After confirmation in a variety of cell and biological models, NI-VD can detect the changes in viscosity in mitochondria. Most importantly, this study is the first to visualize the differences between the kidneys of diabetic mice and normal mice. This approach is a new solution for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, differential diagnosis and prognosis of nodal nevi (NN). Methods: Eighteen cases of NN diagnosed at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China from 2009 to 2019 were collected. The clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Histopathologic evaluation and immunohistochemical studies were carried out. The Vysis Melanoma FISH Probe Kit, combined with 9p21(CDKN2A) and 8q24(MYC) assays were performed in 2 cases. Results: There were 2 males and 16 females in the case series. The age of the patients ranged from 36 to 70 years (average 48.2 years). Fifteen cases located in axillary lymph nodes, 1 in inguinal lymph node, 1 in cervical lymph node, and 1 in external iliac lymph node. NN was found in only one lymph node in each case. Histologically, the nevus cell aggregates were found in capsule of lymph nodes in all cases. Nevus cells grew along the capsule into trabeculae in 8 cases, with 3 of them scattered in parenchyma. In one of these 8 cases, nevus cell aggregates massively occupied the parenchyma of the lymph node. The largest lesions in the 18 NN cases measured from 0.2 to 6.5 mm. All of the NN cases were classified as conventional nevi. The majority of the cases were composed of uniform nevus-like cells and identical to cutaneous pigmented nevi without atypia, necrosis, or mitosis. In the NN case that massively occupied parenchyma, some areas had abundant nevus cells and displayed atypical cytologic features, including increased nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio, small nucleoli, and occasional mitotic figures. Immunohistochemistry was performed in 13 cases. All of them were positive for S-100, SOX10, Melan A, and p16. HMB45 showed weak staining in rare cells of only one case out of 13 cases. Ki-67 labeling index <1% was found in all 13 cases. Additionally, the results of FISH assay were both negative. All patients were followed up for 13 to 129 months (median 31.5 months). Except that one patient died of the salivary gland carcinoma, the other patients all survived without tumor during the follow-up period. Conclusions: NN is a benign melanocytic lesion in lymph node. It is important to distinguish NN from metastatic melanoma when nevus cells occur in parenchyma and subcapsular sinus of lymph nodes, or show some atypical cytologic features. The morphology of bland nevus cells in capsule and trabeculae is a valuable clue. Besides, immunohistochemical profiling and FISH assay are helpful in the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
β-galactosidase is of great significance to living organisms, which is an important marker of primary ovarian cancer and cellular senescence. To detect the activity of β-galactosidase, a novel fluorescent probe ESIPT-GAL which based on excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism for detecting β-galactosidase is developed in this work with low background fluorescence and high sensitivity (ΦF = 0.0045-0.2409). The fluorescence intensity at 552 nm of this probe increased by ~ 55 times with β-galactosidase addition (0-4 U/mL), and its detection limit is very low (3.9 × 10-5 U/mL). In addition, the spectral data (pseudo-first-order rate: 1.303 min-1) and enzyme kinetic parameter (Vmax = 69.5 μΜ•S-1) both show that the probe can achieve rapid response to β-galactosidase. Moreover, the probe has good water solubility, which ensures that it has good biocompatibility and can be easily applied to detect β-galactosidase in living cells and tissues. Importantly, the probe ESIPT-GAL can monitor β-galactosidase in deep mouse tissue sections (90 μm).

Abstract
Objective: To study the utility of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in differential diagnosis between trichoblastoma (TB) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Methods: Fifty-eight cases of TB and 40 cases of BCC were collected at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2009 to December 2019 and retrospectively analyzed by IHC for bcl-2, Ber-EP4, CD10, CK20 and Ki-67. Fisher exact test was performed for statistical analysis. Results: Twenty-five (43.1%) TBs and 5 (12.5%) BCCs showed bcl-2 staining in the outermost layer of the epithelial nests, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The proportion of cases with bcl-2 staining>75% of epithelial cells in BCC group was much higher than that in TB group (40% vs. 12.1%; P<0.01). BCC group showed larger proportions with Ber-EP4 staining>75%, 51%-75% of epithelial cells than TB group (12.5% vs. 1.7%, 37.5% vs. 8.6%;P<0.05). Fifty-five (94.8%) TBs demonstrated CD10 expression in the follicular stroma, while only 16 (40.0%) BCCs showed focal or scattered CD10 expression in reactive fibrous stroma (P<0.01). CK20 expression was present in 37 (63.8%) TBs with scattered pattern, but BCCs exhibited no CK20 staining except for only one case (2.5%) showing focal staining (P<0.01). Compared with TB group, the BCC group included more cases with Ki-67 labeling index ≥15% on average and ≥25% in hotspot areas (P<0.05). Conclusion: IHC is helpful in differential diagnosis between TB and BCC. Scattered CK20 staining pattern and stromal CD10 expression support the diagnosis of TB. Bcl-2 staining limited to the outermost layer of the proliferation is more likely to be found in TB. In contrast, Ber-EP4 positivity and higher Ki-67 labeling index tend to be present in BCC.

Abstract
Multiple types of metal ions and active small molecules (reactive nitrogen species, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, etc.) exist in living organisms. They have connections to each other and can interact and/or interfere with each other. To investigate the relationship of metal ions and active small molecules in living cells, it is necessary and critical to develop molecular tools that can track two kinds of associated certain metal ions and reactive molecules with multiple fluorescence signals. However, this is a challenging task that requires an ingenious molecular design to achieve this goal. Here, we present a fluorescent probe (D-CN) that can offer fluorescence imaging of H2S and copper (II) ions with different response signals. Recognition of H2S and Cu (II) by the new probe can result in green and red emissions, respectively, providing different signal responses to the two substances in living cells and zebrafish. In addition, we used this probe to visually prove that the cytotoxicity of copper ions in living cells increases in the presence of hydrogen sulfide and could lead to cell apoptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Selecting stably expressed reference genes is crucial for evaluating real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) data via the relative quantification method. In the present-day study, our aim was to select optimal reference genes (RGs) for the investigation of target gene (TG) expression profiling in cancerous human laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tissues. PATIENTS AND METHODS 12 cancerous laryngeal tissues and 10 cancerous hypopharyngeal tissues were investigated. The expression characteristics of 11 reference genes (18S rRNA, GAPDH, B2M, ACTB, TBP, ALAS1, RPL29, HMBS, HPRT1, GUSB, and PUM1), which were commonly used in RT-qPCR for the analysis of gene expression, were investigated using the geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper algorithm programs. RESULTS HMBS, ALAS1, and B2M were suggested as optimal RGs for studying human laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancerous tissues together, laryngeal cancerous tissue by itself, and hypopharyngeal cancerous tissue by itself, respectively. If 2 or more reference genes are needed to achieve better standardization, 3 reference genes can optimally be used in combination to improve the accuracy of relative quantitation normalization. The recommended combinations for studying human laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancerous tissues together, laryngeal cancerous tissue by itself, and hypopharyngeal cancerous tissue by itself were HMBS + HPRT1 + GUSB, ALAS1 + GUSB + HMBS, and B2M + HPRT1 + TBP, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The recommended reference genes could be used to improve the accuracy of gene expression studies on the molecular mechanisms of cancerous human laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tissues. The selected combination of reference genes can effectively improve the accuracy of the relative quantitative diagnosis of gene expression levels, such as messenger RNA, circular RNA, and long-noncoding RNA.

Abstract
AIM To undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of CT for differentiating peritoneal tuberculosis (PTB) from peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for papers published before 23 July 2019. The methodological quality of the studies was analysed. Overlapping descriptors used in different studies to denote the same image finding were subsumed under a single CT feature. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios were pooled. A summary receiver operating characteristic curve (sROC) was constructed and the area under the curve (AUC) of the included studies was calculated when possible. RESULTS Six studies were included and 17 CT features were analysed. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of smooth peritoneal thickening were 59% (95% CI: 52-66%) and 84% (95% CI: 79-88%), respectively. The AUC of smooth peritoneal thickening was 0.83. Omentum line/rim, lymph node necrosis or calcification, and mesenteric macro nodules had a pooled specificity ranging from 95% to 100% and a pooled sensitivity ranging from 12% to 67%. The other 12 signs had a pooled sensitivity ranging from 21% to 79% and a pooled specificity ranging from 19% to 81%. Omentum involvement (cake-like pattern) showed a threshold-effect, so only the AUC (=0.70) was calculated. CONCLUSIONS Smooth peritoneal thickening shows fairly good diagnostic accuracy, while omentum rim/line, lymph nodes necrosis or calcification, mesenteric macro nodules have good specificity but limited sensitivity. The informative features summarised in this study may aid clinical practice and future studies.

Abstract
The frequency of Cryptosporidium infection in yaks from Qinghai province, People's Republic of China, was determined from examination of 1,027 fecal samples collected from 979 adult yaks and 48 yak calves during 4 seasons from 7 geographic areas within the province. PCR amplification of extracted DNA was used to characterize the different species of Cryptosporidium oocysts isolated by fecal examination. Twenty-six (2.53%) positive samples were identified and successfully sequenced: 17 Cryptosporidium ryanae (65.38%), 8 Cryptosporidium bovis (30.77%), and 1 Cryptosporidium baileyi (3.85%). The results of the study indicate that autumn is the primary season for transmission of Cryptosporidium to susceptible yak calves given the favorable temperatures and higher altitude of Qinghai province. To our knowledge, C. baileyi, a species predominately associated with birds (avian hosts), is described for the first time in yaks.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of ALK-positive Spitz tumors. Methods: Thirteen patients with ALK-positive Spitz tumors diagnosed at Shanghai Cancer Center, Fudan University from October 2016 to December 2017 were collected. All cases were routinely evaluated histopathological features in HE staining and detected ALK protein expression by immunohistochemistry. The ALK fusions of 7 cases were confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Follow-up data was collected. Results: The age of patients including 2 males and 11 females ranged from 4 to 47 years (mean 25 years). 12 patients were diagnosed with atypical Spitz tumors and 1 patient was diagnosed with Spitz nevus. Clinically, most lesions presented as papules or nodules, while a few lesions presented as plaques. Histologically, most tumors were exophytic (9/13). More than half of the tumors were amelanotic and the junctional component was mainly composed of melanocytic nests. Kamino bodies were not found. The bases of the tumors were mainly wedge-shaped (5/13) and flat (7/13). Eight tumors displayed mixed cell types, while 5 tumors were composed of only spindle cells. All the tumors showed a plexiform and/or intersecting fascicular growth pattern, and perineural extension was observed in 3 tumors. ALK immunohistochemistry showed diffuse and intense cytoplasmic staining in 13 cases, and 7 of them were detected by FISH to confirm the presence of ALK fusions. All patients were followed up for 7 to 21 months (median=12), with no recurrence or lymph node dissemination. Conclusions: Spitz tumors with ALK fusions have their special histopathologic features.ALK fusions mainly occur in Spitz nevi and atypical Spitz tumors. The follow-up data of the existing literatures and our research indicates that the prognosis of ALK-positive Spitz tumors may be good.

Abstract
Fluorion are pivotal anions in biology because they play an important role in dental care, treating osteoporosis, preventing tooth decay and promoting the healthy growth of bone. Studies have shown that high levels of fluoride will lead to the inactivation of the mitochondria. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method to detect the fluoride anions in the mitochondria. Herein, we have developed a novel mitochondrial-target fluorescent probe for detecting F- in living cells. The probe exhibited excellent sensitivity and high selectivity for F- over the other relative species. With changing fluoride ions, the fluorescence spectrum of the probe changed significantly with a large turn-on fluorescence signal. Cell imaging indicated that the probe can penetrate viable cell membranes and rapidly detects and images fluorion over other anions in the mitochondria.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinicopathologic features, differential diagnosis and prognosis of lentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). Methods: Histopathologic evaluation and immunohistochemical study by HRP multimer method were carried out in 24 cases of LM and LMM from 2012 to 2017 at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. The clinical information and follow-up data were analyzed. Results: Of total 24 cases, there were 7 cases of LM and 17 cases of LMM; 10 males and 14 females. The age of patients ranged from 32 to 88 years (mean 67 years). The male-to-female ratio was 1.0∶1.4. Tumors were all located on head and face. Clinically, all patients presented with mottled light brown or sepia macule located on head and face for a long time, and some of them followed by nodules or ulceration within the lesion. The diameter of lesions ranged from 0.5 to 3.0 cm. Microscopically, LM and in-situ component of LMM were all characterized by a predominantly junctional proliferation of atypical melanocytes with marked pleomorphism, frequently extending down the walls of hair follicles and sweat ducts. Multinucleate cells were frequently present. The invasive components of LMM mainly consisted of atypical melanocytic spindle cells (13 cases, 76.5%), and the mean Breslow thickness was 1.2 mm (0.1-2.7 mm). The lesions of LM/LMM were generally associated with severe actinic damage, scattered infiltration of lymphocytes and melanophages. Statistically, the number of cases whose diameter of lesion ≥0.6 cm, mitotic rates ≥4/mm(2) and nests of melanocytes within epidermis in group of LMM were significantly more than those in group of LM. Immunohistochemically, atypical melanocytes in LM and LMM were generally positive for S-100, HMB45, PNL2, Melan A and SOX-10. Follow-up was available in all cases, ranging from 1 to 64 months. Only one out of 23 patients with wide surgical excision had local recurrence, and the remaining 22 patients were all alive with no evidence of disease. One LM patient who was merely treated with biopsy was alive with disease progression after 20 months follow-up. Conclusions: LM/LMM is a special subtype of melanoma predominantly located on the sun-exposed skin of elderly people. Recognition of its specific histologic features can help distinguish with sun-damaged diseases and other subtypes of melanoma. The prognosis of LM/LMM patients treated with surgical excision is considered relatively favorable. However, long term follow-up should be recommended in patients with LM/LMM because of high recurrence rates indicated by previous studies.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the difference between routine hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry in diagnosing metastatic melanoma in sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases, and to evaluate the association of SLN tumor burden with the status of non-sentinel lymph nodes (NSLN). Methods: 126 melanoma patients were treated with SLN biopsy and further examined with immunohistochemistry at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between 2010 and 2016, and the status of SLN was respectively estimated by HE stain and immunohistochemistry (S-100 protein, HMB45, Melan A and SOX10). In 39 patients who were treated with complete lymph node dissection, characteristics of SLN tumor burden (maximum diameter of the tumor deposit, tumor penetrative depth and the microanatomic location of the metastasis) and the associations of SLN tumor burden with the involvement of NSLN were all evaluated. Results: Of the total 126 cases, 33 (26.2%) were positive by HE staining and 49 (38.3%) were positive by immunohistochemistry. S-100 protein was positive in 48 out of 49 cases (98.0%). HMB45 was positive in 46 out of 49 cases (93.9%). Melan A was positive in 47 out of 49 cases (96.0%). SOX10 was positive in 8 out of 8 cases. The outcome indicated that the application of immunohistochemistry identified positive SLN missed by HE stain in about 12.1% of cases. Of the 39 patients who were treated with complete lymph node dissection, six showed metastases in NSLN. The frequency of metastases in NSLN was 15.4% (6/39) when SLN was positive. Additionally, the frequency of metastases in NSLN in cases with SLN metastatic deposits ≤2 mm was significantly lower than that in cases with SLN metastatic deposits >2 mm; eight cases with SLN metastatic deposits <0.2 mm had no additional positive NSLN. Conclusions: The findings suggest that immunohistochemistry could effectively improve the detection of positive SLN in melanoma. Cases with SLN metastatic deposits ≤2 mm are less likely to have further metastases in NSLN. There is a need for prospective large-population based studies to identify a subgroup of SLN positive patients who can safely be spared complete lymph node dissection.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory and autoimmune disease. In this research, we estimated the protective effects of Dihydromyricetin (DMY) on RA induced by Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA). We found that DMY effectively relieved rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, such as body weight change, paw swelling and rheumatoid arthritis scores. In addition, we also observed that DMY significantly lowered the immune organ indexes (including thymus and spleen) and exhibited the anti-inflammatory effect in CFA-induced rheumatoid arthritis. The results demonstrated that the increased expression levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were significantly inhibited by DMY. Furthermore, the key inflammatory mediator, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was markedly lowered after treatment with DMY. A mechanistic study indicated that DMY could up-regulate the down-regulation levels of the mRNA and protein of Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1. Moreover, the Nrf2 activation of DMY was abolished by Nrf2 inhibitor brusatol. Thus, DMY inhibits the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines via activating Nrf2 pathway in RA model, which suggests that DMY has potential for further investigation as a candidate anti-arthritic agent in future.

Abstract
Objective: To report the clinical and pathological features of primary proximal epithelioid sarcoma (PES) in skull base. Methods: The clinical and pathological features of four cases of PES in skull base from Sanbo Brain Institute of Capital Medical University and Kunming Sanbo Brain Institute were analysed retrospectively. Results: Three cases was female, and one male, the age ranged from 46 to 52 years.All cases occurred in skull base, and sellar region was the main site of involvement.Under the microscope, the tumor cells characterized by epithelioid cell changes, with or without rhabdoid tumor cells.Mitotic figure was active.Immunohistochemical staining showed that AE1/AE3, EMA and CD34 were variously expression in tumor cells.INI-1 protein was lost in all cases.Three cases were detected by FISH, and INI1 (22q11.2) gene locus was absent in them.Three patients died less than 3 months after surgery, and case 4 was under treatment after five months of surgery. Conclusions: Primary PES in skull base mostly occurs in sellar region and its clinical prognosis is poor.It features with epithelioid/rhabdoid tumor cells with lack granuloma structure as distal ES.It has epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation characteristics.CD34 is always positive.INI1 gene deletion and protein loss expression are characteristic molecular alteration of PES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nicotine, the main psychoactive component of tobacco, affects cell metabolism, proliferation, adhesion and, importantly, the osteogenic differentiation of fibroblasts. Approximately 15% of all orthodontic patients are adults among who one-fifth are smokers. Hence, it is necessary to have insight into the effects of nicotine on the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs during orthodontic tooth movement. This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of nicotine on the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under the application of cyclic tensile stress. MATERIAL AND METHODS hPDLCs were obtained from donor third molars. The hPDLCs were treated with nicotine and/or cyclic tensile stress that was applied with a cell stress plus unit. The effect of nicotine on cell viability was analyzed using the MTT assay. The osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs was detected by alkaline phosphatase staining, Alizarin Red S staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. RESULTS In combination with cyclic tensile stress, nicotine prevented the tensile stress-induced increase in alkaline phosphatase activity, formation of mineralization nodules and the upregulation of mRNA and protein expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2, transcription factor Sp7 and collagen type I; however, canonical Wnt pathway was activated. Furthermore, the addition of Dickkopf-related protein 1 and α-bungarotoxin counteracted the negative effect of nicotine and rescued the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs, respectively. CONCLUSION These results indicate that nicotine prevents the increased osteogenic potential of hPDLCs induced by cyclic tensile stress by binding to an α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and activating the canonical Wnt pathway.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), as one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays an important role in the destruction of pathogens in the immune system. However, abnormal concentration of biogenic HOCl can also damage host tissues, and it has been shown to be associated with many diseases. Accordingly, detection of HOCl at the subcellular level is important for understanding inflammation and cellular apoptosis. Toward this end, in the past few years, a wide variety of fluorescent HOCl probes have been engineered and applied for imaging of HOCl in subcellular organelles. In this review, we highlight the representative cases of the fluorescent HOCl probes with mitochondria and lysosome-targetable ability. The discussion includes their design strategies, sensing mechanisms, and applications in bio-imaging of HOCl in mitochondria and lysosomes.
