Abstract
Background: Patients with bladder cancer (BLCA) have a poor prognosis and little progress has been made in treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to employ Mendelian randomization (MR) and transcriptome analysis to identify a novel biomarker that could be used to reliably diagnose BLCA. Methods: TCGA-BLCA and GSE121711 datasets were obtained from public databases. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data of BLCA outcome (373,295 samples containing 9,904,926 single nucleotide polymorphisms) were obtained through the IEU OpenGWAS database. Differentially expressed genes were applied as exposure factors, and MR analysis was performed to identify genes that had a causal relationship with BLCA. Then, the patients were divided into high and low expression groups according to the expression levels of candidate genes, and genes with survival differences were identified. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to investigate the prognostic value of the expression of these genes. A nomogram was constructed based on independent prognostic factors, and we analyzed the functions and pathways associated with the identified genes as well as their relationship with the immune microenvironment. Results: HES4 was identified as a biomarker. HES4 status, age, and stage were identified as independent prognostic factors, and an excellent nomogram was established. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that HES4 might be associated with the activation of the immune response, bone development, and cancer pathways. The BLCA samples were divided into high and low HES4 groups. The stromal score and 33 immune cells were remarkably different between the two groups, with HES4 expression being negatively correlated with macrophages and mast cells, and positively correlated with eosinophils and central memory CD4+ T cells. Finally, HES4 was up-regulated in cancer samples in both TCGA-BLCA and GSE121711 datasets. Conclusion: This study identified HES4 as an independent prognostic factor for BLCA outcome based on MR and transcriptome analysis, which provides useful information for future research on and treatment of BLCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (iRARC) is increasingly being used in recent years. Whether iRARC offers advantages over open radical cystectomy (ORC) remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the difference of perioperative outcomes, oncological outcomes and complications between iRARC and ORC. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CNKI databases were searched in July 2023 according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) statement. Studies were identified to be eligible if they compared perioperative outcomes, oncological outcomes and complications in patients who underwent iRARC with ORC. RESULTS Twenty-two studies involving 7,020 patients were included. Compared to ORC, iRARC was superior for estimated blood loss [EBL WMD: -555.52; 95% CI, -681.64 to -429.39; P<0.001], blood transfusion rate [OR: 0.16; 95% CI, 0.09 to 0.28; P<0.001], length of hospital stay [LOS WMD: -2.05; 95% CI, -2.93 to -1.17; P<0.001], Clavien-Dindo grades ≥III complication rate [30d: OR: 0.57; 95% CI 0.44 to 0.75; P<0.001; 90d: OR: 0.71; 95% CI 0.60 to 0.84; P<0.001], and positive surgical margin [PSM OR: 0.65; 95% CI 0.49 to 0.85; P=0.002]. However, iRARC had a longer operative time [OT WMD: 68.54; 95%CI 47.41 to 89.67; P<0.001] and a higher rate of ureteroenteric stricture [ UES OR: 1.56; 95% CI 1.16 to 2.11; P=0.003]. Time to flatus, time to bowel, time to regular diet, readmission rate, Clavien-Dindo grades CONCLUSION Robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion appears to be superior to open radical cystectomy in terms of effectiveness and safety. However, attention should be paid to the occurrence of ureteroenteric stricture during follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common pathological type of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and effective biomarkers will improve diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVE This study investigated NPEPL1 expression in ccRCC through public databases and clinical samples and assessed its correlation with clinicopathological features and patient prognosis. METHOD Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and clinical specimens were gathered, NPEPL1 expression levels were analyzed; a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of NPEPL1; and clinicopathological data was used to study the correlations between expression and clinical parameters. NPEPL1's prognostic value was appraised using a Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curve, Cox regression analysis, and a nomogram model; Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of differently expressed genes between tissues with high and low NPEPL1 expression were used to estimate the underlying mechanisms involved. RESULTS NPEPL1 was significantly higher-expressed in ccRCC tissue. ROC analysis showed that NPEPL1 had noteworthy diagnostic efficacy. NPEPL1 expression was closely related to clinicopathological parameters, such as T and M stage. K-M analysis showed that overall survival was significantly shortened with high NPEPL1 expression. Cox regression analysis showed that NPEPL1 expression was an independent risk factor predicting overall survival. The nomogram showed a significantly high clinical value in predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival probabilities in ccRCC. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that NPEPL1 may promote the occurrence and development of ccRCC via the Ras signaling and other pathways. CONCLUSION NPEPL1 expression in ccRCC was higher than that in normal kidney tissues and was significantly associated with advanced clinical stage and poor prognosis. Therefore, NPEPL1 is a promising prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the urodynamic parameters affecting the clinical outcomes of transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) surgery for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) by multifactor analysis and establish a regression model with diagnostic values. METHODS The medical records of patients who underwent TURP surgery for BPH between December 2018 and September 2021 were collected from the urology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, China. The patients' clinical data and urodynamic parameters were collected before surgery. The urodynamic parameters affecting surgical efficacy were identified by multifactor analysis, and a regression model with diagnostic values was established and evaluated. RESULTS A total of 201 patients underwent TURP, of whom 144 had complete preoperative urodynamic data. Each urodynamic factor was subjected to multifactor analysis, and the bladder contractility index (BCI), bladder outflow obstruction index (BOOI), bladder residual urine, and bladder compliance (BC) were found to be independent influence factors on the efficacy of TURP in patients with BPH. The diagnostic value of the regression model was analyzed by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, and it was found that the AUC = 0.939 (95% CI 0.886-0.972), for which the sensitivity and specificity were 95.19% and 80%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The regression model had high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in predicting the efficacy of surgery, and the diagnostic value was higher than that of individual urodynamic factors. Therefore, BCI, BOOI, bladder residual urine, and BC should be considered as independent influence factors on the efficacy of TURP surgery for BPH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preoperative hydronephrosis is closely associated with the prognosis of patients with bladder cancer. This study assesses the effect of preoperative hydronephrosis on the prognosis after radical cystectomy (RC) among patients with different pathological stages of bladder urothelial carcinoma. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 231 patients who underwent RC because of bladder urothelial carcinoma at our institution from January 2013 to December 2017. The overall survival (OS) in patients with or without preoperative hydronephrosis was followed up and compared, and the prognostic role that preoperative hydronephrosis played in patients with different pathological stages of bladder cancer was analyzed. Multivariate analysis was performed with the help of Cox proportional hazards regression models, the postoperative survival was analyzed with the help of Kaplan-Meier plots and log-rank test, and the p values of multiple testing were corrected using the Bonferroni correction. RESULTS Of 231 patients, 96 were patients with preoperative hydronephrosis and 115 patients had died by the end of the follow-up. Survival analysis found the 3- and 5-year survival rates after radical surgery of patients with preoperative hydronephrosis were significantly lower than those of patients without preoperative hydronephrosis (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis found preoperative hydronephrosis, T stage of tumor, and lymphatic metastasis were independent influencing factors of postoperative OS (p < 0.05). Survival analysis of subgroups according to pathological stages found in pT3-4N0M0 patients had a significant difference in postoperative survival between the group with preoperative hydronephrosis and the group without preoperative hydronephrosis (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The results indicate that preoperative hydronephrosis mainly affects postoperative OS in the patients whose pathological stage of bladder cancer is pT3-4N0M0.

Abstract
Background Giant neobladder lithiasis after orthotopic bladder replacement is an infrequent but important long-term complication, which should be diagnosed and treated early. If left untreated, it may eventually lead to irreversible acute kidney injury and seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Here, we present a rare case of a patient who presented with a massive neobladder stone after radical cystectomy done with orthotopic neobladder construction, followed by a challenging stone extraction process. Case presentation A 70-year-old female patient presented with a massive neobladder stone 14 years after radical cystectomy done with orthotopic neobladder construction. A computed tomography scan showed a large elliptic stone. The patient underwent suprapubic cystolithotomy surgery, which removed her giant-sized stone in the neobladder. The size of the bladder stone that was removed was 13 cm × 11.5 cm × 9 cm, with a total weight of 903 g. To date, the follow-up time of treatment is 4 months, and in our patient, no pain, urinary tract infections, or other abnormalities suggestive of fistula were found. Conclusion Imaging examination is useful for detecting neobladder lithiasis occurring after orthotopic neobladder construction. Our experience demonstrates that open cystolithotomy is an appropriate therapeutic method for treating the late-stage complication of a giant neobladder stone.

Abstract
Aim To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of 2-micron laser and conventional trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder tumor (NMIBT), providing evidence-based evidence for clinical treatment. Materials and Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CMB, CNKI, and WanFang databases were searched since their inception until December 2021 for all eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to 2-micron laser and TURBT for treating NMIBT. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted outcome indicators, and assessed the risk of bias according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Binary and continuous variables were calculated by relative risk (RR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI), respectively. RevMan 5.4 and Stata 15.0 software were used for all statistical analysis. Results A total of ten RCTs involving 1,163 patients were included: 596 cases in the 2-micron laser group and 567 cases in the TURBT group. The results of the meta-analysis revealed that 2-micron laser has advantages over the TURBT in operative duration (MD = -2.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) [-8.55, 2.68], P = 0.31), operative blood loss (MD = -19.93, 95%CI [-33.26, -6.60], P = 0.003), length of hospital stay (MD = -0.94, 95%CI [-1.38, -0.50], P < 0.001), post-operative bladder irrigation time (MD = -28.60, 95%CI [-50.60, -6.59], P = 0.01), period of catheterization days (MD = -1.07, 95%CI [-1.73, -0.40], P = 0.002), obturator nerve reflex (RR = -0.06, 95%CI [0.02, 0.15], P < 0.001), bladder perforation (RR = 0.14, 95%CI [0.06, 0.35], P < 0.001), and bladder irritation (RR = 0.30, 95%CI [0.20, 0.46], P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two surgical methods in post-operative urethral stricture and short-term recurrence of NMIBT. Conclusion Compared with TURBT, 2-micron laser may be safer and more effective for NMIBT management. However, these conclusions need to be validated through more high-quality RCTs because of the quality limitations and publication bias of the included studies.

Abstract
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) is a class of cells with important immune functions and plays a crucial role in bladder cancer (BCa). Several studies have shown the clinical significance of TIL in predicting the prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy. TIL-related gene module was screened utilizing weighted gene coexpression network analysis. We screened eight TIL-related genes utilizing univariate Cox regression analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis, and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Then, we established a TIL-related signature model containing the eight selected genes and subsequently classified all patients into two groups, that is, the high-risk as well as low-risk groups. Gene mutation status, prognosis, immune cell infiltration, immune subtypes, TME, clinical features, and immunotherapy response were assessed among different risk subgroups. The results affirmed that the TIL-related signature model was a reliable predictor of overall survival (OS) for BCa and was determined as an independent risk factor for BCa patients in two cohorts. Moreover, the risk score was substantially linked to age, tumor staging, TNM stage, and pathological grade. And there were different mutational profiles, biological pathways, immune scores, stromal scores, and immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (TME) between the two risk groups. In particular, immune checkpoint genes’ expression was remarkably different between the two risk groups, with patients belonging to the low-risk group responding better to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) therapy. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the TIL-related model was a reliable signature in anticipating prognosis, immune status, and immunotherapy response, which can help in screening patients who respond to immunotherapy.

Abstract
Human breast milk is a source of microorganisms for infants that play an important role in building infant gut health and immunity. The bacterial composition in human breast milk is influenced by lactation time. This study aimed to investigate the influence of lactation time on bacteria in breast milk at the genus level and the species levels of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus on days 2-4, 8, 14, and 30. Eighteen individuals were recruited and 60 milk samples were collected. The 16S rRNA gene, and the bifidobacterial groEL and lactobacilli groEL genes were used for amplicon sequencing. The results revealed that the alpha diversities of colostrum and transition 1 (day 8) milk were lower than that of transition 2 (day 14) and mature milk. PCoA analysis showed that bacterial composition in colostrum and transition 1 milk differed from transition 2 and mature milk. A lower relative abundance of Blautia was found in colostrum and transition 1 milk compared with mature milk and lower abundances of Ruminococcus, Dorea, and Escherichia-Shigella were found in transition 1 compared with mature milk. Bifidobacterium ruminantium, Limosilactobacillus mucosae, and Ligilactobacillus ruminis were the predominant species across all four lactation stages, while Bifidobacterium bifidum was lower in transition 1, and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum and Bifidobacterium pseudolongum were higher in transition 1 milk. This study indicated that the bacterial composition in colostrum was more similar to that of transition 1 milk, whereas the bacterial community in transition 2 milk was similar to that of mature milk which suggests that bacterial composition in human breast milk shows stage-specific signatures even within a short period at both genus level and Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species levels, providing insights into probiotic supplementation for the nursing mother.

Abstract
Anastomosis of the microvessels requires high-level skills and extensive basic training. This study was performed to introduce and evaluate an inexpensive laboratory device as a training aid. Micro-tubes of 0.8 mm inner diameter and 0.5/0.8 mm wall thickness mimicking human vein/artery were printed from a silicon-containing hydrogel using three-dimensional printing technology. The hydrogel components are optimized to render the printed tubes biomechanical features resembling the blood vessels of a living organism. These artificial vessels were connected to a pump for fluid flow, simulating the blood circulation. Forty medical interns were assigned to two equal groups. The 20 interns in group A practiced anastomosis using the training aid for a total of 10 hours over 5 days. The 20 interns in group B practiced anastomosis using the traditional gum pieces and silicone tubes. Then, all interns performed anastomosis on rat carotid arteries, and their performance was scored by a team of five experienced maxillofacial surgeons. The average success score and time required for anastomosis were compared between the two groups. The mean success score of group A was significantly higher than that of group B (0.83 ± 0.12 vs 0.64 ± 0.10, P < 0.001). The mean anastomosis time of group A was significantly shorter than that of group B (10.2 ± 1.1 vs 17.2 ± 1.4 minutes, P < 0.001). This training device for vessel microanastomosis is an inexpensive, practical, and effective tool for use in laboratories and also reduces the use of animals.

Abstract
Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency (CACTD) is a rare and life-threatening autosomal recessive disorder of fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO). Most patients with CACTD develop severe metabolic decompensation which deteriorates progressively and rapidly, causing death in infancy or childhood. As CACTD in some patients is asymptomatic or only with some nonspecific symptoms, the diagnosis is easy to be ignored, resulting in sudden death, which often triggers medical disputes. Herein, we report a case of neonatal sudden death with CACTD. The neonate showed a series of severe metabolic crisis, deteriorated rapidly and eventually died 3 days after delivery. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) screening of dry blood spots before death showed that the level of long-chain acylcarnitines, especially C12-C18 acylcarnitine, was increased significantly, and therefore a diagnosis of inherited metabolic disease (IMD) was suspected. Autopsy and histopathological results demonstrated that there were diffuse vacuoles in the heart and liver of the deceased. Mutation analysis revealed that the patient was a compound heterozygote with c.199-10 T > G and a novel c.1A > T mutation in the SLC25A20 gene. Pathological changes such as heart failure, arrhythmia and cardiac arrest related to mitochondrial FAO disorders are the direct cause of death, while gene mutation is the underlying cause of death.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are a group of compounds composed of multiple monosaccharides of the same or different structures combined by glycosidic bonds, and are widely found in animals and plants and in the cell walls of microorganisms. Polysaccharides possess the advantages of high safety and low toxicity. Recent studies revealed that polysaccharides have a wide range of biological activities including immunoregulation, anti-tumor, antiviral, antioxidant activities, and blood glucose-and lipid- lowering effects. The effects of polysaccharides in improving insulin sensitivity and regulating glucose and lipid metabolism have drawn much attention from researchers. Many polysaccharides can reduce blood glucose and blood lipid by repairing pancreatic islet cells, improving insulin resistance, regulating intestinal flora, enhancing antioxidant capacity, and regulating the activities of key enzymes in glucose and lipid metabolism. This reviews examines the role and mechanism of polysaccharides in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. The mechanisms of polysaccharide in regulating glucose metabolism include repairing islet cells and increasing insulin content, increasing insulin sensitivity and improving insulin resistance, regulating the activity of key enzymes in glucose metabolism, increasing synthesis of liver glycogen, and regulating intestinal flora. Polysaccharides can also regulate glucose metabolism by improving immune regulation and antagonizing glucagon. Polysaccharide also regulate lipid metabolism by regulating lipid absorption, expression of the related genes such as PPAR-α, enzyme activities in lipid metabolism, improving antioxidant capacity, and modulating intestinal flora and signaling pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our study aims to determine whether sarcopenia is a predictive factor of future hip fractures. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. Set: We searched for potentially suitable articles in PubMed, Cochrane library, Medline and EMBASE from inception to March 2020. The quality of the research was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Finally, a meta-analysis was conducted with the Stata software. PARTICIPANTS Older community-dwelling residents. MEASUREMENTS Hip fracture due to sarcopenia. RESULTS We retrieved 2129 studies through our search strategy, and five studies with 23,359 individuals were analyzed in our pooled analyses. Sarcopenia increases the risk of future hip fractures with a pooled hazard ratio (HR) of 1.42 (95% CI: 1.18-1.71, P <0.001, I2 = 37.7%). In addition, in subgroup analyses based on different definitions of sarcopenia, sarcopenia was associated with the risk of future hip fractures with the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria with a pooled HR of 2.13(95% CI: 1.33-3.43). When subgroup analyses were conducted by sex, sarcopenia was associated with the risk for future hip fractures in females with pooled HRs of 1.69 (95% CI: 1.18-2.43). Sarcopenia was associated with the risk of future hip fractures in the group with a follow-up period of more than 5 years, with a pooled HR of 1.32 (95% CI: 1.08-1.61), and in the group with a follow-up period of less than 5 years, with a pooled HR of 2.13 (95% CI: 1.33-3.43). CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia could significantly increase the risk of future hip fracture in old people; thus, it is necessary to prevent hip fractures in individuals with sarcopenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is myocardial tissue injury caused by blood supply returning to myocardial tissue after ischemia or hypoxia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of FULLEROL on myocardial tissue in MIRI rats and its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS We use rats and ligate their left anterior descending coronary artery to make a MIRI model, and we also subcutaneously injected some MIRI rats with FULLEROL daily for two weeks before modeling. We determined the effects of model building and the therapeutic effect of FULLEROL on MIRI by detecting the changes of myocardial tissue morphology, myocardial injury markers and cardiac function in rats. In addition, we detected the expression changes of inflammatory factors and antioxidative molecules in rat myocardial tissue and serum to determine the effect of FULLEROL on inflammation and oxidative stress in myocardial tissue. Finally, we detected the activity of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in rat cardiomyocytes to determine the mechanism of action of FULLEROL. RESULTS The structure of myocardial tissue in MIRI rats was remarkably damaged, and the range of myocardial infarction was increased. In addition, the concentrations of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were increased, and the heart function was reduced, while FULLEROL could reverse these conditions. In addition, FULLEROL was found to reduce the concentration of the inflammatory factors in rat myocardial tissue and serum, and to increase the expression of antioxidative molecules in myocardial tissue. The Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway was found to be related to MIRI and FULLEROL could increase the activity of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSIONS FULLEROL can alleviate MIRI by promoting the activity of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to reduce the expression of inflammatory factors in rats and increase the antioxidative capacity of cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effects and mechanisms of melatonin on Alzheimer's disease (AD) are still not researched thoroughly. 20E2 cells (HEK293-APPswe cells) are a cellular model of AD. The modulation effects of melatonin on the structure and function of mitochondria in 20E2 cells need to be studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Alzheimer's disease (AD) cell model was assessed for cell viability, expression levels of mitochondrial biogenesis factors (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha [PGC-1α], nuclear respiratory factor 1 [NRF1], nuclear respiratory factor 2 [NRF2], mitochondrial transcription factor A [TFAM]), mitochondrial membrane potential, Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and cytochrome C oxidase activity, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level, mitochondrial DNA/nuclear DNA (mtDNA/nDNA) ratio, and mitochondrial structure with and without melatonin. RESULTS Melatonin improved 20E2 cell viability, expression of mitochondrial biogenesis factors (PGC-1α, NRF1, NRF2, TFAM), mitochondrial membrane potential, Na+-K+-ATPase, and cytochrome C oxidase activity, ATP level, mtDNA/nDNA ratio, mitochondrial structure, and decreased amyloidogenic amyloid precursor protein processing. CONCLUSIONS Mitochondrial biogenesis disorder is associated with the pathogenesis of AD through PGC-1α-NRF-TFAM pathway, and melatonin improves the mitochondrial structure and function by enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and decreasing amyloidogenic APP processing in Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Novel duck reovirus (NDRV), the prototype strain of avian orthoreoviruses, continues to circulate among ducks. Analysis of its genome suggested that a putative second open reading frame in the S1 segment encodes a 162-amino acid nonstructural protein with size of 18 kDa, provisionally designated P18. This protein is different from the 17 kDa nonstructural protein encoded in the same open reading frame in other avian orthoreoviruses, which is designated P17 and consists of 146 amino acids. There is no corresponding protein in Muscovy duck reovirus. Antibodies raised to the purified recombinant protein reacted with viral P18 both in vitro and in vivo. In cells, P18 was located predominantly in the nucleus at 6-12 h post-infection, with negligible levels in the cytoplasm. However, the protein accumulated both in the nucleus and cytoplasm at 24 to 36 h post-infection. Immunohistochemistry indicated that P18 strongly accumulates in spleen tissues of infected ducklings. Collectively, the data provide the direct experimental evidence that P18 is expressed by novel duck reovirus both in vivo and in vitro. Keywords: duck reovirus; expression; characterization; novel P18 protein.

Abstract
24 Y-STR loci were analyzed in 223 Altay Hui individuals and 209 Altay Kazakh individuals. Haplotype diversity (HD) and discrimination capacity (DC) values were calculated. Population pairwise genetic distances (Rst) were evaluated in AMOVA analysis and compared between two studied populations and other populations. The relationships between populations were visualized through multidimensional scaling (MDS) and neighbor-joining (NJ) tree. The results indicated higher discrimination power in the Altay Kazakh and Hui populations. The Altay Kazakh was the most distantly related to Xishuangbanna Dai, while Altay Kazakh was the most closely related to Gansu Kazakh. The results may provide useful information for paternal lineages and increase our understanding of genetic relationships between two studied populations and other populations.

Abstract
Hypoxic environments occur normally at high altitude, or in underground burrows and in deep sea habitats. They also occur pathologically in human ischemia and in hypoxic solid tumors. Hypoxia in various cancer types and its related molecular mechanisms are associated with a poor clinical outcome. This review will discuss how hypoxia can influence two aspects of tumorigenesis, namely the direct, cell-intrinsic oncogenic effects, as well as the indirect effects on tumor progression mediated by an altered tumor microenvironment. We will also discuss recent progress in identifying the functional roles of hypoxia-related factors (HIFs), along with their regulators and downstream target genes, in cancer stem cells and therapy. Importantly, we propose, using convergent evolution schemes to identify novel biomarkers for both hypoxia adaptation and hypoxic solid tumors as an important strategy in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of a sequential treatment including percutaneous polidocanol sclerotherapy and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in terms of volume reduction and complication rate in large, benign, partially cystic thyroid nodules with solid components. MATERIALS AND METHOD From April 2017 to April 2019, 46 patients with 47 large benign partially cystic thyroid nodules underwent sequential treatment. There were 14 men and 32 women with a mean age of 49.9±11.5 (SD) years (range: 18-75 years). The volume of initial nodules was 12.7±12.3 (SD) mL (range: 2.16-75.62mL). Volume reduction after percutaneous polidocanol sclerotherapy and further RFA was evaluated respectively. Patients had clinical and ultrasound evaluations at a follow-up time of 12.1±5.3 (SD) months (range: 1.5-23.9 months). Technical success and complications were accessed retrospectively. RESULTS After unsatisfying results with polidocanol sclerotherapy alone the 46 patients with 47 large benign partially cystic thyroid nodules had further RFA. Mean volume reduction of 47 nodules was 90.5±11.3 (SD) % (range: 43.9-99.3%) one month after RFA, 94.9±6.2 (SD) % (range: 66.9-99.5%) three months after RFA, and 95.8±5.5 (SD) % (range: 71.0-99.8%) six months after RFA. No recurrence or nodule enlargement after RFA was observed at the last follow-up. The complication rate of RFA was 12.5% (8/46 patients), with minor complications only. CONCLUSIONS The sequential treatment regimen, including percutaneous polidocanol sclerotherapy and RFA, is an appropriate and safe treatment strategy for large benign partially cystic thyroid nodules with solid components.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify stable and specific biomarkers/biomarker combinations for fatigue assessment and establish a discriminant model. PATIENTS AND METHODS Saliva was collected and electroencephalogram analysis was performed for 47 emergency physicians while awake and after continuoutas duty for 18-24 h. Physicians were divided into the fatigue and non-fatigue groups. Protein spectra of completely quantified saliva specimens were identified before and after long working hours using mass spectrometry. Data were analyzed through Proteome Discoverer software combined with SEQUEST to search protein databases. Proteins were characterized by collision-induced dissociation spectra. A global internal standard (GIS) was added to each group of samples and labeled by tandem mass tags m/z 131.1. All data were compared with GIS, and data between groups were further compared. Qualitative and quantitative data on proteins were exported for fatigue-related proteomic analysis, and a fatigue assessment model was established. RESULTS We identified 767 salivary proteins in the fatigue group. The correct rates of the discriminant function of the non-fatigue and fatigue groups were 97.1% and 91.7%, respectively (the total correct rate was 95.7%). CONCLUSIONS We identified 30 fatigue-related protein markers from saliva. We also established a fatigue assessment model for emergency physicians using salivary biomarkers.

Abstract
The precise measurement of the spectrum of protons, the most abundant component of the cosmic radiation, is necessary to understand the source and acceleration of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. This work reports the measurement of the cosmic ray proton fluxes with kinetic energies from 40 GeV to 100 TeV, with 2 1/2 years of data recorded by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE). This is the first time that an experiment directly measures the cosmic ray protons up to ~100 TeV with high statistics. The measured spectrum confirms the spectral hardening at ~300 GeV found by previous experiments and reveals a softening at ~13.6 TeV, with the spectral index changing from ~2.60 to ~2.85. Our result suggests the existence of a new spectral feature of cosmic rays at energies lower than the so-called knee and sheds new light on the origin of Galactic cosmic rays.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To scan novel candidate genes associated with osteoporosis, a two-stage transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) of bone mineral density (BMD) was conducted. The BMD-associated genes identified by TWAS were then compared with the gene expression profiling of BMD in bone cells, B cells, and mesenchymal stem cells. We identified multiple candidate genes and gene ontology (GO) terms associated with BMD. INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis (OP) is a metabolic bone disease characterized by decrease in BMD. Our objective is to scan novel candidate genes associated with OP. METHODS A transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) was performed by integrating the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary of bone mineral density (BMD) with two pre-computed mRNA expression weights of peripheral blood and muscle skeleton. Then, another independent GWAS data of BMD was used to verify the discovery results. The BMD-associated genes identified between discovery and replicate TWAS were further subjected to gene ontology (GO) analysis implemented by DAVID. Finally, the BMD-associated genes and GO terms were further compared with the mRNA expression profiling results of BMD to detect the common genes and GO terms shared by both DNA-level TWAS and mRNA expression profile analysis. RESULTS TWAS identified 95 common genes with permutation P value < 0.05 for peripheral blood and muscle skeleton, such as TMTC4 in muscle skeleton and DDX17 in peripheral blood. Further comparing the genes detected by discovery-replicate TWAS with the differentially expressed genes identified by mRNA expression profiling of OP patients found 18 overlapped genes, such as MUL1 in muscle skeleton and SPTBN1 in peripheral blood. GO analysis of the genes identified by discovery-replicate TWAS detected 12 BMD-associated GO terms, such as negative regulation of cell growth and regulation of glycogen catabolic process. Further comparing the GO results of discovery-replicate TWAS and mRNA expression profiles found 6 overlapped GO terms, such as membrane and cell adhesion. CONCLUSION Our study identified multiple candidate genes and GO terms for BMD, providing novel clues for understanding the genetic mechanism of OP.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of primary papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 37 patients with 38 PTMC nodules underwent RFA at a power of 20 W between September 2014 and December 2017. The clinical data of these patients were reviewed retrospectively and analysed. Imaging studies of the nodules were conducted, and the patients' thyroid function was assessed before RFA; 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after RFA; and every 6 months thereafter. The volumes and volume reduction rate (VRR) of the nodules were also calculated. RESULTS RFA with a low power of 20 W was used in the treatment of 37 patients with 38 PTMC nodules. All nodules achieved complete ablation, no complications occurred, and thyroid function was not affected. During follow-up, the volume of the nodules gradually decreased. Twelve months after ablation, the mean volumes of the nodules significantly decreased to 0.01±0.03 ml with a VRR of 99.34±3.49%. At a median follow-up of 6 (range: 1-18) months, 37 of the 38 nodules were completely absorbed, and no recurrence was observed in all 37 patients. CONCLUSIONS Low-power RFA showed good safety and promising efficacy outcomes for the treatment of PTMC. In addition to surgery and active surveillance, RFA may be an alternative treatment option for patients with PTMC.

Abstract
Marine harbours are the focus of a diverse range of activities and subject to multiple anthropogenically induced pressures. Support for environmental management options aimed at improving degraded harbours depends on understanding the factors which influence people's perceptions of harbour environments. We used an online survey, across 12 harbours, to assess sources of variation people's perceptions of harbour health and ecological engineering. We tested the hypotheses: 1) people living near impacted harbours would consider their environment to be more unhealthy and degraded, be more concerned about the environment and supportive of and willing to pay for ecological engineering relative to those living by less impacted harbours, and 2) people with greater connectedness to the harbour would be more concerned about and have greater perceived knowledge of the environment, and be more supportive of, knowledgeable about and willing to pay for ecological engineering, than those with less connectedness. Across twelve locations, the levels of degradation and modification by artificial structures were lower and the concern and knowledge about the environment and ecological engineering were greater in the six Australasian and American than the six European and Asian harbours surveyed. We found that people's perception of harbours as healthy or degraded, but not their concern for the environment, reflected the degree to which harbours were impacted. There was a positive relationship between the percentage of shoreline modified and the extent of support for and people's willingness to pay indirect costs for ecological engineering. At the individual level, measures of connectedness to the harbour environment were good predictors of concern for and perceived knowledge about the environment but not support for and perceived knowledge about ecological engineering. To make informed decisions, it is important that people are empowered with sufficient knowledge of the environmental issues facing their harbour and ecological engineering options.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the characteristics and associated factors of invasive fungal disease in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus from Southern China. Methods A retrospective study was performed. Demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory data, and radiographic manifestations were recorded. Results A total of 45 lupus patients with invasive fungal disease (incidence 1.1%) were included. Twenty-three cases (51.1%) were infected with mold and 22 cases (48.9%) with yeast. Aspergillus spp. (44.4%) and Cryptococcus spp. (33.3%) were common. Aspergillosis mainly occurred in the lung. Cryptococcosis developed in the lung (40.0%), meninges (46.7%) and bloodstream (13.3%). Compared with yeast infection, mold infection tended to develop in patients with active lupus nephritis (65.2% vs. 31.8%, P = 0.03) and the mortality rate was higher (20.0% vs. 0%, P = 0.001). Co-infection with bacteria, virus or superficial fungi occurred in 12 patients (26.7%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that lymphopenia (odds ratio 2.65, 95% confidential interval 1.14–6.20, P = 0.02) and an accumulated dose of glucocorticoid (odds ratio 1.58, 95% confidence interval 1.10–2.25, P = 0.01) was associated with invasive fungal disease in lupus patients. Conclusion Mold infection tended to develop in patients with active lupus disease with high mortality. Co-infection is not rare. Lymphopenia and an accumulated dose of glucocorticoid are associated with invasive fungal disease in lupus patients.

Abstract
MicroRNA-98(miR-98) has been shown to be critical for tumorigenesis, however its involvement in bladder cancer are unclear. The present study aims to investigate the expression, biological roles and potential mechanisms of miR-98 in human bladder cancer. We found that miR-98 was upregulated in bladder urothelial carcinoma tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. In addition, miR-98 expression was higher in bladder cancer cell lines than in uroepithelial cell line SV-HUC-1. Functional studies revealed that miR-98 mimic promoted proliferation of T24 cells while miR-98 inhibitor inhibited proliferation of BIU-87 cells. Moreover, miR-98 mimic increased cisplatin/doxorubicin resistance and inhibited apoptosis in T24 cells, while miR-98 inhibitor decreased chemoresistance and facilitated apoptosis in BIU-87 cells. Further experiments using MitoTracker and JC-1 staining showed that miR-98 could regulate mitochondrial fission/fusion balance and mitochondrial membrane potential. Western blot showed that miR-98 upregulated cyclin D1, p-Drp1 and Drp1. Using luciferase reporter assay, we demonstrated that LASS2 acted as a direct target of miR-98. LASS2 overexpression induced mitochondrial fusion and downregulated mitochondrial potential, with decreased p-Drp1 status. Additionally, LASS2 siRNA abrogated the effects of miR-98 mimic on Drp1phosphorylation and chemoresistance. We also found a negative correlation between LASS2 and miR-98 in bladder cancer tissues. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that miR-98 targets LASS2 and regulates bladder cancer chemoresistance through modulation of mitochondrial function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the protective effect of ulinastatin combined with dexmedetomidine on lung injury after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 healthy and clean male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into the blank control group (group O), the model control group (group K), the ulinastatin and dexmedetomidine group (group F) according to random number table with 20 rats in each group. RESULTS The plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and malondialdehyde (MDA) at T1, T2 and T3 time points in rats of the three groups were significantly higher than those of the T0 time point (p<0.05). The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the plasma of rats of the three groups was significantly lower at T1, T2 and T3 time point when compared with that of T0 (p<0.05). The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and MDA in group K at T1, T2 and T3 moments were significantly higher than those of group O (p<0.05). However, the concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and MDA in group F at T1, T2, T3 were significantly lower than those of group K (p<0.05). The activities of SOD in group K at T1, T2, T3 were all significantly higher than those of group O (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the activities of SOD in group F at T1, T2, T3 were significantly higher than those of group K (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Ulinastatin combined with dexmedetomidine can reduce the inflammatory response and inhibit lipid peroxidation, eventually alleviating acute lung injury after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rats.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) for the etiologic evaluation of diffuse lung disease (DLD). Methods: Between December 2015 to April 2017, a total of 38 patients with DLD met the inclusion criteria for TBCB in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, and 35 of them consented to undergo the procedure under rigid or flexible bronchoscopy. On the tissues obtained from the 35 patients, histopathologic and microbiological evaluations were performed, and together with clinical and radiological manifestations, diagnoses were made and the efficacy of TBCB in the diagnosis of DLD was confirmed, and then therapies were planned accordingly. Complications of the biopsy procedures were recorded. Results: Of the 35 patients who were enrolled, 24 underwent TBCB under rigid bronchoscopy and 11 under flexible bronchoscopy. Another 3 patients refused the procedure due to disinclination to invasive examinations. One single procedure of TBCB took (51.8±19.2) min on average, the median number of tissues obtained was 6 (5, 8), and the median area of tissues was 15 (9, 20) mm(2).Definite diagnoses were reached in 33 patients, including idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (n=8), connective tissue disease-interstitial lung disease (n=8), occupational lung disease (n=4), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (n=3), interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (n=3), tuberculosis (n=2), cryptogenic organization pneumonia (n=1), acute interstitial pneumonia (n=1), pulmonary infection (n=1), hypersensitivity pneumonia (n=1) and sarcoidosis (n=1). Diagnostic yield was 94.3% (33 out of 35 cases diagnosed).

Abstract
Bladder cancer becomes a serious medical and social concern due to its high recurrence and mortality rates. Thus, it is urgent to search a novel prognostic biomarker and targeted therapy with high sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we used the human bladder cancer cell line EJ as an immunogen to generate a novel mouse monoclonal antibody KMP1 that specifically bound to bladder cancer, and then, the antitumor effect of KMP1 against bladder cancer was investigated both in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that expression of the KMP1 epitope is consistent with clinical severity and prognosis of bladder cancer. Furthermore, KMP1 not only significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and adhesion of EJ cells in vivo, but also suppressed the xenograft tumor growth in nude mice compared with the control group treated with mIgG. Subsequently, the underlying mechanism of KMP1 against bladder cancer was explored via antigen affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry. CD44 located on the cytomembrane was found as the antigen of KMP1. Using RNA interference technology to knock down CD44 expression, we further identified that KMP1 has the antitumor activity by binding to CD44 and blocking its functions. In conclusion, KMP1 might be valuable for development as a promising specific diagnostic biomarker or targeted agent for bladder cancer.

Abstract
In this study, meat quality traits were compared between squabs from two pigeon breeds: one Chinese indigenous breed, the Shiqi (SQ) meat-type pigeon, and an imported breed, the white king (WK) meat-type pigeon. Breed differences were detected in the content of intramuscular fat (IMF) in the breast muscle. SQ squabs had significantly higher IMF content than the WK birds. The shear force value (an objective measure of meat tenderness) of SQ birds was also relatively lower than that of the WK squabs. Further analysis of fatty acids profile revealed that SQ squabs exhibited significant advantage in the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids, while WK squabs were significantly higher in the sum of monounsaturated fatty acids. Breast muscle in the SQ squabs was also significantly higher in the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids, as well as the sum of omega 6 fatty acids. Variability of expression levels of functional genes in relation to fat accumulation and meat tenderness was analysed by qRT-PCR. Gene expression analyses showed that the hepatic expression of LPL (lipoprotein lipase), FABP4 (fatty acid-binding protein 4), and CAPN2 (calpain-2) were significantly higher in the SQ squabs. In the breast muscle tissue, the FABP3 (fatty acid-binding protein 3) and CAPN2mRNA abundance was significantly higher in SQ squabs. Our results suggested that these differentially expressed genes might be candidate genes used in the programmes of targeted selection for squabs with higher IMF content, tender meat, and more favourable fatty acids composition.

Abstract
The function of miR16 in multiforme glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and its stem cells (GSCs) remains elusive. To this end, we investigated the patterns of miR16 expression in these cells and their correlation with malignant behaviors and clinical outcomes. The levels of miR16 and its targeted genes in tumor tissue of GBM and GBM SGH44, U87, U251 cells as well as their stem cell counterparts were measured by qRT–PCR or western blot or immunohistochemistry. Luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the binding of miR16 to 3′-UTR of its target genes. The effects of miR16 on malignant behaviors were investigated, including tumor cell viability, soft-agar colony formation, GSCs Matrigel colony forming and migration and invasion as well as nude mice xenograft model. Differentially expression patterns of miR16 in glioblastoma cells and GSCs cells were found in this study. Changes of miR16 targeted genes, Bcl2 (B cell lymphoma 2), CDK6 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 6), CCND1 (cyclin D1), CCNE1 (cyclin E1) and SOX5 were confirmed in glioblastoma cell lines and tissue specimens. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that tumor cell proliferation was inhibited by miR16 mimic, but enhanced by miR16 inhibitor. The expression level of miR16 positively correlates with GSCs differentiation, but negatively with the abilities of migration, motility, invasion and colony formation in glioblastoma cells. The inhibitory effects of miR16 on its target genes were also found in nude mice xenograft model. Our findings revealed that the miR16 functions as a tumor suppressor in GSCs and its association with prognosis in GBM.

Abstract
This contribution reports the effects of Moringa oleifera leaves (MOLs) meal on the growth performances, nutrient digestibility, carcass trait, meat quality, antioxidant capacity and biochemical parameters of growing New Zealand white rabbits. The MOL was substituted for alfalfa meal at levels of 0, 10%, 20% and 30% to obtain respective diets MOL0, MOL10, MOL20 and MOL30. Each treatment was replicated five times with 10 rabbits per replicate. Results showed the average daily weight gain (ADWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of rabbits fed MOL20 diet were significantly better (p < 0.05) than those of other three dietary groups. Liver and spleen index of rabbits fed MOL20 and MOL30 diets was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that of the groups fed with lower M. oleifera leaves (MOL0, MOL10). The meat drip loss of rabbits fed with diet MOL10 was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that of rabbits fed other diets. All rabbits fed MOL dietary groups had lower (p < 0.05) shear force of longissimus dorsi than the group without M. oleifera leaves. No significant differences were found in the digestibility of crude fibre (CF), crude fat (EE), ash, crude protein (CP) and nitrogen-free extract (NFE) among the dietary groups. Moringa oleifera leaves also have a significant impact on serum albumin (ALB), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), triiodothyroxine (T3 ) and tetraiodothyroxine (T4 ) values and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in serum and liver. The results indicated that M. oleifera leaves could be developed as a good feed source, and it not only could substitute for alfalfa meal well but also has a significant effect on growth performance, meat quality, antioxidant and biochemical parameters of rabbits.

Abstract
Current non-surgical treatments for lumbar radiculopathy [e.g. epidural steroids and Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists] are neither effective nor safe. As a non-toxic natural product, curcumin possesses an exceptional anti-inflammatory profile. We hypothesised that curcumin alleviates lumbar radiculopathy by attenuating neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and nociceptive factors. In a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) culture, curcumin effectively inhibited TNF-α-induced neuroinflammation, in a dose-dependent manner, as shown by mRNA and protein expression of IL-6 and COX-2. Such effects might be mediated via protein kinase B (AKT) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) pathways. Also, a similar effect in combating TNF-α-induced neuroinflammation was observed in isolated primary neurons. In addition, curcumin protected neurons from TNF-α-triggered excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cellular apoptosis and, accordingly, promoted mRNA expression of the anti-oxidative enzymes haem oxygenase-1, catalase and superoxide dismutase-2. Intriguingly, electronic von Frey test suggested that intraperitoneal injection of curcumin significantly abolished ipsilateral hyperalgesia secondary to disc herniation in mice, for up to 2 weeks post-surgery. Such in vivo pain alleviation could be attributed to the suppression, observed in DRG explant culture, of TNF-α-elicited neuropeptides, such as substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide. Surprisingly, micro-computed tomography (μCT) data suggested that curcumin treatment could promote disc height recovery following disc herniation. Alcian blue/picrosirius red staining confirmed that systemic curcumin administration promoted regeneration of extracellular matrix proteins, visualised by presence of abundant newly-formed collagen and proteoglycan content in herniated disc. Our study provided pre-clinical evidence for expediting this natural, non-toxic pleiotropic agent to become a new and safe clinical treatment of radiculopathy.

Abstract
Leptin levels are increased in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but little is known on how this correlates with several disease characteristics including the frequency of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here we compared serum leptin levels with frequency of circulating Tregs in 47 lupus patients vs. 25 healthy matched controls. Correlations with lupus disease activity were also analyzed, as well as Treg proliferation potential. It was found that leptin was remarkably increased in SLE patients as compared to controls, particularly in SLE patients with moderate and severe active SLE, and the increase correlated with disease activity. Importantly, increased leptin in lupus patients inversely correlated with the frequency of Tregs but not in controls, and leptin neutralization resulted in the expansion of Tregs ex vivo. Thus, hyperleptinemia in lupus patients correlates directly with disease activity and inversely with Treg frequency. The finding that leptin inhibition expands Tregs in SLE suggests possible inhibition of this molecule for an enhanced Treg function in the disease.
