Abstract
Left ventricular apical hypoplasia is a rare malformation recently described congenital abnormality characterized by: (1) truncation of the left ventricle, with the septum projecting toward the right ventricle; (2) abnormal papillary muscle originating from the flattened left ventricular apex; (3) a narrow right ventricle encompassing the periapical area of the left ventricle; (4) fatty infiltration of the apex of the left ventricle. We reported a case of LVAH and reviewed the patient's clinical presentation. And its morphologic characteristics were revealed by multimodality imaging, including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, we reviewed 41 cases from 32 reports to summarize the pathogenesis and analyzed the imaging manifestations of LVAH in this study, aiming to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and clinical management of LVAH patients.

Abstract
AIM To explore the value of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics combined with traditional radiologist-defined semantic characteristics and conventional (cMRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) texture features in predicting Fuhrman grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of 89 patients with histopathologically proven ccRCC (low-grade, 54; high-grade, 35) were collected. Texture features were extracted from cMRI (T1- and T2-weighted imaging) and fMRI (Dixon-MRI; blood-oxygen-level dependent [BOLD]-MRI; and susceptibility-weighted imaging [SWI]) images, and the traditional characteristics (TC) were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to develop models based on TC, cMRI, and fMRI texture features for grading. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and leave-group-out cross-validation (LGOCV) were performed to test the reliability of combined models. RESULTS Two T2-weighted imaging-based, two Dixon_W-based, one Dixon_F-based, one BOLD-based, and three SWI-based texture features, and three TC were extracted for feature selection. TC, cMRI, fMRI, cMRI+fMRI, cMRI+TC, fMRI+TC, and cMRI+fMRI+TC models were constructed. The AUC of the cMRI+fMRI+TC model for differentiating high- from low-grade ccRCC was 0.74, with 81.42% accuracy, 75.93% sensitivity, and 91.43% specificity. The fMRI+TC model exhibited a performance similar to that of the cMRI+fMRI+TC model (p>0.05). The areas under the curve (AUCs) of the fMRI+TC and cMRI+fMRI+TC models were significantly higher than those of the other five models (all p<0.05). For the cMRI+fMRI+TC model, the mean accuracy was 85.40% after 100 LGOCV for the test sets. CONCLUSION Multimodal MRI radiomics combined with TC, cMRI, and fMRI texture features may be a reliable quantitative approach for differentiating high-grade ccRCC from low-grade ccRCC.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of preoperative Naples prognostic scores (NPS) in patients with resectable Siewert type II-III esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (AEG). Methods: In this retrospective observational study we collected and analyzed relevant data of patients with Siewert Type II-III AEG treated in the Department of Gastric Cancer, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. NPS were calculated using preoperative albumin concentration, total cholesterol concentration, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio and used to allocate patients into three groups: NTS-0 (0 points), NTS-1 (1-2 points) and NTS-2 (3-4 points). Kaplan-Meier was used to calculate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in each NPS group and the log-rank test to compare these groups. Univariate and multivariate survival analyes were performed using the Cox regression model. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed to compare the relationships between four commonly used tools for evaluating inflammatory responses and nutritional status:NPS, systemic inflammatory response scores, nutrient control status (CONUT), and prognostic nutrition index (PNI). Results: The study cohort comprised 221 patients with AEG of median age 63.0 (36.0-87.0) years. There were 190 men (86.0%) and 31 women (14.0%). As to pTNM stage, 47 patients (21.3%) had Stage I disease, 68 (30.8%) Stage II, and 106 (48.0%) Stage III. One hundred and forty-seven patients (66.5%) had Siewert Type II disease and 74 (33.5%) Siewert type III. There were 45 patients (20.4%) in the NPS-0, 142 (64.2%) in the NPS-1 and 34 (15.4%) in the NPS-2 groups. Higher NPS scores were significantly associated with older patients (χ²=5.056, P=0.027) and higher TNM stages (H=5.204,P<0.001). The median follow-up was 39 (6-105) months; 16 patients (7.2%) were lost to follow-up. The median OS in the NPS-0, NPS-1, and NPS-2 groups were 78.4, 63.1, and 37.0 months, respectively; these differences are statistically significant (P=0.021). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis identified the following as independently and significantly associated with OS in patients with Siewert Type II-III: TNM stage (Stage II: HR=2.182, 95%CI: 1.227-3.878, P=0.008; Stage III: HR=3.534, 95%CI: 1.380-6.654, P<0.001), tumor differentiation (G3: HR=1.995, 95%CI: 1.141-3.488, P=0.015), vascular invasion (HR=2.172, 95%CI: 1.403-3.363, P<0.001), adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.326, 95%CI: 0.200-0.531, P<0.001), NPS (NPS-1: HR=2.331, 95%CI: 1.371-3.964, P=0.002; NPS-2: HR=2.494, 95%CI: 1.165-5.341, P=0.019), SIS group (NPS-1: HR=2.170, 95%CI: 1.244-3.784, P=0.006; NPS-2: HR=2.291, 95%CI: 1.052-4.986, P=0.037), and CONUT (HR=1.597, 95% CI: 1.187-2.149, P=0.038). The median DFS in the NPS-0, NPS-1, and NPS-2 groups was 68.6, 52.5, and 28.3 months, respectively; these differences are statistically significant (P=0.009). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis identified the following as independently and significantly associated with DFS in patients with Siewert Type II-III AEG: TNM stage (StageⅡ: HR=2.789, 95%CI:1.210-6.428, P=0.016; Stage III: HR=10.721, 95%CI:4.709-24.411, P<0.001), adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.640, 95% CI: 0.432-0.946, P=0.025), and NPS (NPS-1: HR=1.703, 95%CI: 1.043-2.782, P=0.033; NPS-2: HR=3.124, 95%CI:1.722-5.666, P<0.001). Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves showed that NPS was more accurate in predicting OS and DFS in patients with Siewert Type II-III AEG than were systemic inflammatory response scores, CONUT, or PNI scores. Conclusion: NPS is associated with age and TNM stage, is an independent prognostic factor in patients who have undergone resection of Siewert type II-III AEG, and is better than SIS, CONUT, or PNI in predicting survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication after cardiac surgery (CS), with symptoms like attention disorders and even delays patients' recovery. AIMS To evaluate the impact of preoperative on-site visits in the cardiac care unit (CCU) on POD after CS. STUDY DESIGN Patients admitted to the CCU with extracorporeal CS were included in the visiting or non-visiting group according to whether they were on visiting week. The visiting group received a preoperative visit from a nurse-led multidisciplinary visiting team (including CCU nurses and physicians) 1 week before surgery in addition to standard care. The non-visiting group received standard care like unstructured information from the CS team and anesthesiologists and so on. The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) and the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) were used to evaluate the POD severity. The incidence, occurrence and duration of POD, as well as the CCU length of stay, postoperative mechanical ventilation duration and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 735 participants (369 in the visited group and 366 in the unvisited group) were included in this study. Preoperative on-site visits were associated with a decreased POD incidence (odds ratio [OR]: 0.524, 95% CI: 0.336-0.817), an improved POD severity (OR: 0.578, 95% CI: 0.359-0.932) and a shortening POD duration (OR: 0.972, 95% CI: 0.951-0.994). There was a significant difference between the visiting and non-visiting groups in the mechanical ventilation duration (OR: 0.987, 95% CI: 0.978-0.996). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative on-site visits are associated with a reduction in the incidence, duration, and severity of POD, as well as the mechanical ventilation duration of patients. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This study found that preoperative on-site visits were associated with the onset, duration, severity and duration of mechanical ventilation of POD. Although many factors influence the occurrence of POD, a multidisciplinary visiting team led by a nurse (including CCU nurses and physicians) can provide early nursing interventions through preoperative visits, better obtain postoperative cooperation from patients, establish a good nurse-patient relationship and provide better health services to patients. In a realistic CCU setting, nurses and physicians can act as educators, assessing patients before surgery, enhancing preoperative education, improving patient familiarity with the CCU environment and teaching sign language communication skills when patients are mechanically ventilated. These findings can therefore provide the basis for effective clinical care to prevent postoperative POD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have shown that Hippo-YAP signaling pathway plays an important role in endothelial cell differentiation. Vestigial-like family member 4 (VGLL4) has been identified as a YAP inhibitor. However, the exact function of VGLL4 in vascular endothelial cell development remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of VGLL4, in human endothelial lineage specification both in 3D vascular organoid and 2D endothelial cell differentiation. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we found that VGLL4 was increased during 3D vascular organoids generation and directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells H1 towards the endothelial lineage. Using inducible ectopic expression of VGLL4 based on the piggyBac system, we proved that overexpression of VGLL4 in H1 promoted vascular organoids generation and endothelial cells differentiation. In contrast, VGLL4 knockdown (heterozygous knockout) of H1 exhibited inhibitory effects. Using bioinformatics analysis and protein immunoprecipitation, we further found that VGLL4 binds to TEAD1 and facilitates the expression of endothelial master transcription factors, including FLI1, to promote endothelial lineage specification. Moreover, TEAD1 overexpression rescued VGLL4 knockdown-mediated negative effects. CONCLUSIONS In summary, VGLL4 promotes EC lineage specification both in 3D vascular organoid and 2D EC differentiation from pluripotent stem cell, VGLL4 interacts with TEAD1 and facilitates EC key transcription factor, including FLI1, to enhance EC lineage specification.

Abstract
The Hippo signaling pathway plays a critical role in cardiovascular development and stem cell differentiation. Using microarray profiling, we found that the Hippo pathway components vestigial-like family member 4 (VGLL4) and TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) were upregulated during vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation from H1 ESCs (H1 embryonic stem cells). To further explore the role and molecular mechanisms of VGLL4 in regulating VSMC differentiation, we generated a VGLL4-knockdown H1 ESC line (heterozygous knockout) using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and found that VGLL4 knockdown inhibited VSMC specification. In contrast, overexpression of VGLL4 using the PiggyBac transposon system facilitated VSMC differentiation. We confirmed that this effect was mediated via TEAD1 and VGLL4 interaction. In addition, bioinformatics analysis revealed that Ten-eleven-translocation 2 (TET2), a DNA dioxygenase, is a target of TEAD1, and a luciferase assay further verified that TET2 is the target of the VGLL4-TEAD1 complex. Indeed, TET2 overexpression promoted VSMC marker gene expression and countered the VGLL4 knockdown-mediated inhibitory effects on VSMC differentiation. In summary, we revealed a novel role of VGLL4 in promoting VSMC differentiation from hESCs and identified TET2 as a new target of the VGLL4-TEAD1 complex, which may demethylate VSMC marker genes and facilitate VSMC differentiation. This study provides new insights into the VGLL4-TEAD1-TET2 axis in VSMC differentiation and vascular development.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). Methods: Eighty-one patients first diagnosed with T2DM were enrolled in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2018 to December 2020, including 58 patients [46 males and 12 females, aged (43±13) years] with HTG [HTG group, triglyceride (TG)≥1.7 mmol/L]. There were 23 cases without HTG (NTG group), including 20 males and 3 females, aged (46±13) years. According to the severity of HTG, the patients of HTG group were divided into severe HTG group (STG group, TG ≥5.6 mmol/L) and mild HTG group (MTG group, 1.7 mmol/L≤TG<5.6 mmol/L). Thirty healthy controls were matched accordingly, including 21 males and 9 females, aged (45±6) years. Clinical laboratory indicators and feces of the subjects were collected and 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to compare the differences in intestinal flora among the groups. Results: The Shannon and Simpson indexes in HTG group were lower than those in NTG group and healthy control group (5.02±0.91 vs 5.45±0.55 and 5.60±0.63, P=0.003; 0.90±0.06 vs 0.93±0.04, 0.94±0.04, P=0.002). Compared with healthy control group and NTG group, the abundance of intestinal P_Proteobacteria, g_Escherichia_Shigella, s_Escherichia_Coli and g_Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 increased in HTG group, while the abundance of p_Firmicutes, g_Faecalibacterium and Faecalibacterium_prausnitzii decreased. The abundance of g_Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 in the STG group was higher than that of NTG and MTG groups, while the abundance of g_Faecalibacterium decreased. Spearman correlation analysis suggested that g_Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 was positively correlated with glycosylated hemoglobin (r=0.22, P=0.044), fasting blood glucose (r=0.36, P=0.001), TG (r=0.27, P=0.015) and total cholesterol (r=0.44, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis indicated that g_Faecalibacterium was a protective factor for T2DM with HTG(OR=0.90, 95%CI:0.83-0.97, P=0.006). Conclusions: The intestinal flora of T2DM patients with HTG was dysregulated, which was manifested as decreased diversity, increased abundance of P_Proteobacteria and decreased abundance of p_Firmicutes. g_Faecalibacterium is a protective factor for T2DM with HTG.

Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy of the Asia-Pacific colorectal screening (APCS) score combined with the quantitative fecal immunochemical test in colorectal neoplasia screening. Subjects who appointment to receive colonoscopy were recruited from August 2017 to May 2019 in the digestive endoscopy center. Before the colonoscopy, all subjects were scored by the Asia Pacific colorectal cancer screening scoring system and measured by quantitative fecal immunochemical test (QFIT). The detection rates of colorectal neoplasia were compared to evaluate the efficacy of the combined assay in colorectal neoplasia screening between APCS score and QFIT. A total of 1 420 subjects were enrolled in this study, APCS score medium-risk (MR) and high-risk (HR) groups were 847 (59.7%) and 573 (40.4%) and 26 cases (1.8%) of colorectal cancer, 196 cases (13.8%) of advanced adenoma, and 395 cases (27.8%) of non-advanced adenoma were detected. With the combination of APCS score and QFIT, participants were classified into 4 groups high-risk with positive QFIT result group G1, high-risk with negative QFIT result group G2, medium-risk with positive QFIT group G3, medium-risk negative QFIT group G4. The prevalence of colorectal neoplasia was 64.3%, 16.4%, 55.0%, and 9.8%, respectively. The prevalence of advanced neoplasia in high-risk with QFIT results was significantly higher than that in other 3 groups. HR and positive QFIT were the indicators for further colonoscopy, and MR with FIT negative group could postpone colonoscopy and conduct annual QFIT follow-up. The combination of APCS score and QFIT for colorectal neoplasia screening can reduce unnecessary colonoscopy, improve colonoscopy compliance and screening efficiency, and has important clinical significance and promotion value in colorectal tumor screening.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (ECs) derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) provide great resource for vascular disease modeling and cell-based regeneration therapy. However, the molecular mechanisms of EC differentiation are not completely understood. In this study, we checked transcriptional profile by microarray and found Hippo pathway is changed and the activity of YAP decreased during mesoderm-mediated EC differentiation from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Knockdown of YAP in hESCs promoted both mesoderm and EC differentiation indicating by mesodermal- or EC-specific marker gene expression increased both in mRNA and protein level. In contrast, overexpression of YAP inhibited mesoderm and EC differentiation. Microarray data showed that several key transcription factors of EC differentiation, such as FLI1, ERG, SOX17 are upregulated. Interestingly, knockdown YAP enhanced the expression of these master transcription factors. Bioinformation analysis revealed that TEAD, a YAP binds transcription factors, might regulate the expression of EC master TFs, including FLI1. Luciferase assay confirmed that YAP binds to TEAD1, which would inhibit FLI1 expression. Finally, FLI1 overexpression rescued the effects of YAP overexpression-mediated inhibition of EC differentiation. In conclusion, we revealed the inhibitory effects of YAP on EC differentiation from PSCs, and YAP inhibition might promote expression of master TFs FLI1 for EC commitment through interacting with TEAD1, which might provide an idea for EC differentiation and vascular regeneration via manipulating YAP signaling.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors for death in children with acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study. Thirty-nine children with ANE were from PICUs in 4 centers from December 1, 2014 to December 1, 2020. The 4 participating centers were Beijing Children's Hospital, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Hebei Children's Hospital, and Bao'an Maternity & Child Health Hospital. Patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups by the outcome at discharge, and the differences in clinical data between the two groups were compared. Risk factors for death in children with ANE and the odds ratios (OR) were analyzed by univariable Logistic regression. Results: Thirty-nine children with ANE were included. There were 18 males and 21 females. The median onset age was 30 months. The mortality at discharge was 41% (16/39). The onset age of most patients (74%, 29/39) was younger than 4 years old. Influenza virus was the most common precursor infection (80%, 20/25). Patients with shock at PICU admission were more common in the non-survival group (12/16 vs. 17% (4/23), P=0.001). Glasgow coma score (GCS) at PICU admission was significantly lower in the non-survival group than survival group (3 (3, 6) vs. 6 (5, 7), Z=-2.598, P=0.009). The optimal cut-off value was 4. The proportion of patients with GCS ≤ 4 at PICU admission was higher in the non-survival group (10/16 vs. 22% (5/23), P=0.018). ANE severity score (ANE-SS) at PICU admission was significantly higher in the non-survival group (5 (2, 6) vs. 2 (1, 4), Z=-2.436, P=0.015). The proportion of patients with high risk ANE-SS was higher in non-survival group than the survival group (9/16 vs. 22% (5/23), P=0.043). The proportion of application of high-dose methylprednisolone (20 mg/(kg·d)) was significantly higher in survival group than non-survival group (43% (10/23) vs. 1/13, P=0.031). Univariable Logistic regression indicated that risk factors for death in children with ANE were shock (OR=14.250, 95%CI 2.985-68.018, P=0.001), GCS≤4 (OR=6.000, 95%CI 1.456-24.733, P=0.013) and high risk ANE-SS (OR=4.629, 95%CI 1.142-18.752, P=0.032) at PICU admission. Conclusions: ANE usually occurs in children under 4 years old after influenza infection. Shock, GCS≤4 and high risk ANE-SS at PICU admission were risk factors for death in children with ANE. High-dose methylprednisolone may improve the prognosis of children with ANE.

Abstract
Transcription factors TEAD1 and TEAD4 play an important role in development, differentiation, cell growth and proliferation. To further understand the exact role of TEAD1 and TEAD4 in these processes. We generated TEAD1 and TEAD4 doxycycline-inducible expression human embryonic stem cell lines (WAe001-A-67 and WAe001-A-68) by PiggyBac transposon system. These cell lines retained normal morphology and karyotype, normal expression of pluripotent markers, and differentiation potential. These cell lines can be used to verify whether the TEAD1 and TEAD4 play a role in stem cell and cell lineage differentiation.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted in myocardial infarction (MI) plasma could protect against apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) following hypoxia or serum deprivation in vitro and improve cardiac function following MI in vivo. The plasma samples were taken from female rats 24 h after MI. EVs were obtained and co-cultured with BMSCs. We found that EVs could be taken up by BMSCs. Co-culturing with EVs attenuated hypoxia-induced apoptosis of BMSCs in EVs in a dose-dependent manner, which was reversed by the pharmacological inhibition of AKT signaling. Co-culturing with EVs improved transplantation efficiency and blunted MI-induced apoptosis of BMSCs in vivo. Furthermore, transplantation of BMSCs together with EVs can effectively promote the increase in capillary density both at the border and central zone of myocardium and ameliorate myocardial remodeling in MI rats. BMSCs and EVs transplantation treatment exhibited significant improvements in ejection fraction, fraction shortening, left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions, and left ventricular end-systolic dimensions, as evaluated by echocardiography four weeks after MI in rats. Finally, levels of differentiation- and apoptosis-related microRNAs expression in EVs that may mediate these effects were also identified by microarray and quantitative real-time PCR. In conclusion, the present results suggest a potential role of plasma-derived EVs in decreasing apoptosis of BMSCs by activating AKT signaling, promoting angiogenesis, ameliorating myocardial remodeling, and improving cardiac function in MI rats. EV application may be a novel option to ameliorate the therapeutic efficiency of BMSCs to improve cardiac function following MI.

Abstract
While an appropriate feed intake is crucial for the reproductive performance of sows, there is a lack of recommendations currently for feed allowance of Guangdong Small-ear Spotted gilts during gestation. The effects of 2 different feeding patterns during gestation on the reproductive performance of Guangdong Small-ear Spotted gilts were investigated by assigning 80 gilts to 2 feeding pattern groups with a randomized complete block design in accordance with initial body weight and back fat thickness, followed by treatment with an incremental feeding pattern (IFP) and a concaved feeding pattern, respectively, with no difference in total feed intake. The IFP group showed a significant decrease in the stillbirth rate (P < 0.05) and an upward trend in piglet mean birth weight (P = 0.06). Furthermore, the IFP group exhibited an increase in the weights of stomach, supraspinatus tendon, triceps, and psoas minor in neonatal piglets (P < 0.05). Overall, the results of the present investigation showed that IFP could significantly reduce the stillbirth rate of Guangdong Small-ear Spotted gilts and increase the muscle weight of progeny.

Abstract
A human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line (WMUi020-A) was generated from the aortic smooth muscle cells of a 56-year-old donor with bicuspid aortic valve and ascending aortic aneurysm. Episomal vector-mediated Non-integration iPSC reprogramming was used for this iPSC line generation. The established iPSC line highly expressed pluripotency markers with three germ-layer differentiation potential in vitro, as well as a normal karyotype. We further found that this iPSC line has a potential mutation of ROBO4 (c.161 T>C, p.Q54R), which may be useful for the disease modeling of bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy.

Abstract
VGLL4 is a new component of the Hippo pathway and bind TEADs to compete with YAP, so as to inhibit tumor progression, but its role in stem cell and organ regeneration remains unclear. Using the PiggyBac transposon system, we generated a VGLL4 doxycycline-inducible expression human embryonic stem cell line (WAe001-A-47). The established hESC line retains its normal morphology and pluripotency markers with in vitro differentiation potential, as well as a normal karyotype.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The current study investigated whether insufficient sleep (<7 hrs.) explains differences in 10-year CVD risk, using Framingham risk (FRS) and Reynolds risk (RRS) scores, between blacks and whites and characterized risk and protective CVD risk profiles.
Methods
Using the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) (N=6,441) data, we investigated the independent role of insufficient sleep in explaining differences in 10-years CVD between blacks and whites via a proportional odds model of four 10-year CVD risk groups: low (<5%), low-medium (5% to <10%), medium-high (10% to <20%) and high (≥20%), adjusting for age, sex, and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). We performed two levels of cluster analyses; via hierarchical cluster algorithm with entire sample (Level 1), and latent profiles in the low (protective profiles) and high (risk profiles) CVD risk groups (Level 2) to determine overall CVD risk, and risk and protective CVD profiles.
Results
Blacks had a higher prevalence of smoking behavior, diabetes, mean systolic blood pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol compared to whites. Conversely, whites had a higher mean HDL cholesterol, sleep hours, and sleep efficiency compared to blacks. Men had higher 10-year CVD risk than women. AHI and race/ethnicity-sleep interaction were positively associated, while sleep was negatively associated with FRS and RRS. Across all CVD risk groups, whites who slept less than 5.5 hrs. had a higher CVD risk and those who slept more than 6.5 hrs. had a lower CVD risk compared to blacks. In Level 1 cluster analyses, we found two clusters: Cluster 1 (n= 3233): 6.17 sleep hours, apnea-index 11.84, age 59, SBP 125.43, total cholesterol 209, HDL 51.39, BMI 29.03, and slightly more than 50% female; and Cluster 2 (n=1657): 5.61 sleep hours, apnea-index 13.41, age 74, SBP 131, total cholesterol 204, HDL 50.30, BMI 26.45, and slightly less than 50% female. In Level 2 cluster analyses, we found two profiles within the low and high CVD risk groups.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that blacks may not receive full protection from long-term CVD risk with longer sleep duration, as their white counterparts.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the significance of quantitative fecal immunochemical test (FIT) for opportunistic screening of colorectal neoplasia, and to propose the most optimal thresholds to improve the screening level of early colorectal neoplasia. Methods: The opportunistic screening participants were recruited from the Department of Gastroenterology & GI Endoscopy Center of the Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, and stool sample was collected before colonoscopy and the quantitative FIT was analyzed by OC-MICRO analysator for each patient. We assessed test performance in detecting colorectal neoplasia (advanced adenoma and CRC)with different thresholds on sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV). Results: A total of 1 448 objects were enrolled in this study, including 714 male (49.3%)and 734 female (50.7%).All participants were classified according to the result of colonoscopy and pathology, and 242 cases of colorectal neoplasia were found, containing 157 advanced adnoma and 85 colorectal cancer. The FIT threshold increased from 50 μg/L to 200 μg/L, while the positivity rate dropped from 11.5% to 8.6% and the sensitivity in detecting colorectal neoplasia dropped from 47.9% to 38.8%. However, the specificity increased from 96.8% to 98.2% and the positive predictive value increased from 82.3% to 87.0%.The miss rate of colorectal cancer increased from 11.8% (n=10) to 17.6% (n=15) along with the increase in FIT thresholds, but the miss rate of 100 μg/L and 150 μg/L was the same as 12.9% (n=11). Conclusions: Quantitative FIT,which is simple and fast,with the threshold of 100 μg/L for opportunistic screening, has a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of colorectal neoplasia,and is an important index in screening and diagnosis of colorectal neoplasia.

Abstract
A human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line (WMUi001-A) was generated from the aortic tissue of a 47-year-old donor with aortic dissection and normal blood pressure. Integration-free episomal vector-mediated reprogramming was used for the generation of this iPSC line. The established iPSC line was found to express pluripotency markers, exhibit a differentiation potential in vitro, as well as display a normal karyotype. We further identified that this iPSC line contained a mutation in collagen type IV (COL4A2, R131M), which may serve as a useful tool for the disease modeling of aortic dissection.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze clonal evolution and clinical significance of trisomy 8 in patients with acquired bone marrow failure. Methods: The clinical data of 63 patients with acquired bone marrow failure accompanied with isolated trisomy 8 (+8) from June 2011 to September 2018 were analyzed retrospectively, the clonal evolution patterns and relationship with immmunosuppressive therapy were summarized. Results: Totally 24 male and 39 female patients were enrolled, including 39 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and 24 patients with relatively low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) . Mean size of+8 clone in MDS patients[65% (15%-100%) ]was higher than that of AA patients[25% (4.8%-100%) , z=3.48, P=0.001]. The patients were was divided into three groups (<30%, 30%-<50%,and ≥50%) according to the proportion of+8 clone. There was significant difference among the three groups between AA[<30%:55.6% (20/36) ; 30-50%: 22.2% (8/36) ; ≥50%22.2% (8/36) ]and MDS patients[<30%:19.0% (4/21) ; 30%-<50%:19.0% (4/21) ; ≥50%61.9% (13/21) ] (P=0.007) . The proportion of AA patients with+8 clone <30% was significantly higher than that of MDS patients (P=0.002) ; and the proportion of AA patients with+8 clone ≥50%was significantly lower than that of MDS patients (P=0.002) . The median age of AA and MDS patients was respectively 28 (7-61) years old and 48.5 (16-72) years old. Moreover, there was no correlation between age and+8 clone size in AA or MDS (r(s)=0.109, P=0.125; r(s)=-0.022, P=0.924, respectively) . There was statistical difference in total iron binding capacity, transferrin and erythropoietin between high and low clone group of AA patients (P=0.016, P=0.046, P=0.012, respectively) , but no significant difference in MDS patients. The immunosuppressive therapy (IST) efficacy of AA and MDS patients was respectively 66.7% and 43.8% (P=0.125) . Comparing with initial clone size (27.3%) , the +8 clone size (45%) of AA patients was increased 1-2 year after IST, but no statistical difference (z=0.83, P=0.272) . Consistently, there was no significant change between initial clone size (72.5%) and 1-2 year clone size (70.5%) after IST in MDS patients. There was no significant difference in IST efficient rate between +8 clone size expansion and decline group of in AA patients at 0.5-<1, 1-2 and>2 years after IST. We found four dynamic evolution patterns of +8 clone, which were clone persistence (45%) , clone disappearance (30%) , clone emergence (10%) and clone recurrence (15%) . Conclusions: AA patients had a low clone burden, while MDS patients had a high burden of +8 clone. The +8 clone of AA patients didn't significantly expanded after IST, and the changes of +8 clone also had no effect on IST response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis and etiology of antrochoanal polyps (ACP) are unclear. The aim of this study is to characterize the features of inflammatory cellular infiltration, the epithelial remodeling patterns and their associations to clinical parameters in ACP. METHODS A detailed histological study employing classic immunohistochemistry was performed. 33 ACPs, 49 classic bilateral nasal polyps (BNP) and 50 controls were obtained. The histological patterns and inflammatory cells infiltration were evaluated and analyzed for associations with clinical characteristics. RESULTS Less severe epithelial hyperplasia and goblet cell hyperplasia were found in ACP compared to BNP. In ACP, 87.9% of cases demonstrated neutrophilia. Elevated proportions of macrophages and CD8+ T cells, and elevated infiltration of mast cells was observed. Eosinophil infiltration was found to be positively corelated with a history of asthma; macrophages proportion was analyzed to have a significantly negative correlation with epithelial hyperplasia and goblet cell hyperplasia; the infiltration of CD8+ T cell and squamous metaplasia were found to have a positive correlation. CONCLUSION Inflammation potentially has important roles in ACP. ACP may differ in its pathogenesis from classic bilateral nasal polyps.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the direct signals to initiate or exaggerate cardiomyopathy remain largely unknown. Present study aims to explore the pathophysiological role of autotaxin/lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in the process of cardiomyopathy during obesity. Through utilizing mouse model and clinical samples, present study investigates the therapeutic benefits of autotaxin inhibitor and clinical correlation to obesity‐related cardiomyopathy. The elevated circulating levels of autotaxin are closely associated with cardiac parameters in mice. Administration with autotaxin inhibitor, PF‐8380 effectively attenuates high fat diet‐induced cardiac hypertrophy, dysfunction and inflammatory response. Consistently, autotaxin inhibition also decreases circulating LPA levels in obese mice. In in vitro study, LPA directly initiates cell size enlargement and inflammation in neonatal cardiomyocytes. More importantly, circulating levels of autotaxin are positively correlated with cardiac dysfunction and hypertrophy in 55 patients. In conclusion, present study uncovers the correlation between circulating autotaxin and cardiac parameters in mice and human patient, and provided solid evidence of the therapeutic application of autotaxin inhibitor in combating obesity‐related cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
G231V and F198S mutations in surfactant protein A2 (SP-A2) are associated with familial pulmonary fibrosis. These mutations cause defects in dimer/trimer assembly, trafficking, and secretion, as well as cause mutant protein aggregation. We investigated the effects and mechanisms of chemical chaperones on the cellular and biochemical properties of mutant SP-A2. Chemical chaperones, including 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA), could enhance secretion and decrease intracellular aggregation of mutant SP-A2 in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, increased levels of aggregated mutant SP-A2, resulting from MG-132-mediated proteasome inhibition, could also be alleviated by 4-PBA. 4-PBA treatment reduced the degradation of mutant SP-A2 to chymotrypsin digestion in CHO-K1 cells and up-regulated GRP78 (BiP) expression. Overexpression of GRP78 in SP-A2 G231V- or F198S-expressing cells reduced, whereas shRNA-mediated knockdown of GRP78 enhanced aggregation of mutant SP-A2, suggesting that GRP78 regulates aggregation of mutant SP-A2. Together, these data indicate chemical chaperone 4-PBA and upregulation of GRP78 can alleviate aggregation to stabilize and facilitate secretion of mutant SP-A2. The up-regulation expression of GRP78 might partially contribute to the aggregate-alleviating effect of 4-PBA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methylenetetrahyfrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is the key enzyme for one carbon and folate metabolism. Previous studies have drawn different conclusions about the relationship between the mutation of MTHFR and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence. MTHFR polymorphisms' influence on liver transplantation for HCC recurrence has yet not been reported. Aim of this study was to clarify the impact of MTHFR polymorphism on hepatocarcinogenesis and the prognosis of liver transplant recipient with HCC. METHODS This study enrolled 244 HCC patients and 487 healthy individuals in Chinese Han population to analyze the influence of MTHFR polymorphism on HCC susceptibility first. Furthermore, this research choose another 100 donors' and 104 recipients' specimens to detect the association between polymorphism of MTHFR and post-transplant HCC recurrence. RESULT rs1801131 polymorphism A to C was associated with the occurrence of HCC in Chinese Han population (p < 0.05), especially in age exceeding 50 years (p < 0.01). No association was observed with rs1801133 polymorphism and HCC occurrence. The mean tumor-free survival for recipients with donor liver graft rs1801133 C to T variants was shorter than CC type (12.63 ± 3.84 vs 22.43 ± 4.74 months, p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that Donor rs1801133 and Hangzhou criteria were two independent prognostic factors for tumor-free survival (p < 0.05). Neither donor rs1801131 polymorphism nor recipients' MTHFR polymorphisms was associated with HCC recurrence. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that MTHFR polymorphism was associated with HCC occurrence and post-transplant HCC recurrence. rs1801131 mutation A to C is a valuable molecular biomarker for predicting HCC occurrence in Chinese Han population. Donor MTHFR rs1801133 C to T polymorphism could present as a promising prognostic biomarkers for HCC recurrence in liver transplant recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In clinical practice, stent diameter is one of the variable properties important for endovascular treatment. A consensus guideline for stent retriever size selection has yet to be established. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different diameters of Solitaire retrievers on outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 628 patients enrolled from the Endovascular Treatment for Acute Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Registry, 256 were treated with the Solitaire 4-mm device and 372, with the 6-mm device. We matched patients treated with the 2 stent sizes using propensity score analysis. The successful outcome was reperfusion as measured by the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score immediately postprocedure and the dichotomized modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days. Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and in-hospital mortality were also recorded. RESULTS After propensity score analysis, group outcomes did not differ. In addition, in patients with atherosclerosis-related occlusion, a higher reperfusion rate (P = .021) was observed in the Solitaire 4 group, as well as a shorter time interval (P = .002) and fewer passes (P = .025). Independent predictors of successful reperfusion in patients with atherosclerotic disease on logistic analysis were the small stent (OR, 3.217; 95% CI, 1.129-9.162; P = .029) and the propensity score acting as a covariate (OR, 52.84; 95% CI, 3.468-805.018; P = .004). CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence of a differential effect of intra-arterial therapy based on the size of Solitaire retrievers. In patients with atherosclerotic disease, favorable reperfusion was associated with deployment of a small stent.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence, severity of hearing disorders and demographics of people with hearing disorders based on the whole population in Jilin, Guangdong, Shannxi and Gansu provinces in China. Methods: According to " WHO Ear and Hearing Disorders Survey Protocol" , 144 clusters were chosen with probability proportional sampling(PPS) method from the four provinces covering 194, 688, 061 residents. Audiological test, otological examination and questionnaire surveying were conducted for all samples from August, 2014 to September, 2015. The hearing disorders were classified according to WHO criteria and classification. Results: Among 47 511 targeted residents, 45, 052 individuals (94.82% response rate) participated in the survey. The standardized prevalence rates of hearing disorders and disabling hearing disorders were 15.84 % and 5.17 % respectively. Almost 50% of people with hearing disorders had no awareness of it or its starting time. There was significant difference in the prevalence among people of different ages, genders, occupations, provinces, marital status and education levels. The prevalence of hearing disorders increased significantly as age grew. People above 60 years old occupied 55.31% of the total hearing disorders. The prevalence of hearing disorders among male, people of low education and those who lost husband or wife, as well as workers and farmers was relatively higher. Conclusions: The prevalence of hearing disorders is high, and hearing disorders are " invisible" . Demographics and socioeconomic factors significantly influence the prevalence of hearing disorders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteopoikilosis is a rare and benign autosomal dominant genetic disorder, characterized by a symmetric but unequal distribution of multiple hyperostotic areas in different parts of the skeleton. Recent studies have reported loss-of-function mutations in the LEM domain containing 3 (LEMD3) gene, encoding an inner nuclear membrane protein, as a cause of osteopoikilosis. METHODS We investigated LEMD3 gene in a three-generation family from China, with six patients affected with osteopoikilosis. Peripheral blood samples were collected from family members and 100 healthy controls. All exons of the LEMD3 gene and adjacent exon-intron sequences were amplified by PCR and subsequently sequenced. RESULTS A novel heterozygous c.2612_2613insA (p.Y871X) mutation in exon 13 of LEMD3 was identified, which resulted in a frame shift predicted to generate a premature stop codon at amino acid position 871. The mutation co-segregates with the osteopoikilosis phenotype and was not found in 100 ethnically matched controls. CONCLUSION We identified a new mutation in LEMD3 gene, accounting for the familial case of osteopoikilosis. In addition we also review the clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of osteopoikilosis.

Abstract
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a ligand of receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE), functions as a proinflammatory factor. It is mainly involved in inflammatory activation and contributes to the initiation and progression of stroke. By using a model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) in type 2 diabetic rats, we investigated the changes of pro-inflammation mediators, blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage and functional outcome after stroke. Type 2 diabetic rats did not show an increased lesion volume, but exhibited significantly increased expression of HMGB1 and RAGE, BBB leakage, as well as decreased functional outcome after stroke compared with control rats. Injection of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) into type 2 diabetic rats significantly reduced the expression of HMGB1 and RAGE, attenuated BBB leakage, and improved functional outcome after stroke. BMSCs-treated type 2 diabetic rats inhibited inflammation and improved functional outcome after stroke. Furthermore, in vitro data support the hypothesis that BMSCs-induced reduction of HMGB1 and RAGE in T2DM-MCAo rats contributed to attenuated inflammatory response in the ischemic brain, which may lead to the beneficial effects of BMSCs treatment. Further investigation of BMSCs treatment in type 2 diabetic stroke is warranted.

Abstract
Continuous research on small-scale mechanical structures and systems has attracted strong demand for ultrafine deformation and strain measurements. Conventional optical microscope cannot meet such requirements owing to its lower spatial resolution. Therefore, high-resolution scanning electron microscope has become the preferred system for high spatial resolution imaging and measurements. However, scanning electron microscope usually is contaminated by distortion and drift aberrations which cause serious errors to precise imaging and measurements of tiny structures. This paper develops a new method to correct drift and distortion aberrations of scanning electron microscope images, and evaluates the effect of correction by comparing corrected images with scanning electron microscope image of a standard sample. The drift correction is based on the interpolation scheme, where a series of images are captured at one location of the sample and perform image correlation between the first image and the consequent images to interpolate the drift-time relationship of scanning electron microscope images. The distortion correction employs the axial symmetry model of charged particle imaging theory to two images sharing with the same location of one object under different imaging fields of view. The difference apart from rigid displacement between the mentioned two images will give distortion parameters. Three-order precision is considered in the model and experiment shows that one pixel maximum correction is obtained for the employed high-resolution electron microscopic system.
