Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the correlation between clinical outcomes and diagnostic accuracy of evaluations carried out by a preoperative multidisciplinary team versus standard surgical care for patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma undergoing surgery. METHODS This comparative study was conducted retrospectively at a specialist assessment center within Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, China, between April 2011 and March 2021. Patients were assigned to a multidisciplinary team or nonmultidisciplinary team cohort based on referral to the multidisciplinary team. The primary outcome measured was long-term clinical prognosis, with other outcomes including diagnostic accuracy, 30-day reoperation, duration of stay, perioperative mortality, and medical complications. To mitigate selection bias, we conducted propensity-score matching. Uni- and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were then used to evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary teams on postoperative survival. The previously specified questionnaire was used to measure the enhancement of awareness and treatment adherence facilitated by multidisciplinary team management. Data analysis was carried out between January 2023 and August 2023. RESULTS Of the 521 records that were screened, 139 patients were deemed eligible for inclusion and defined as the multidisciplinary team cohort. At the same time, 382 patients without multidisciplinary team management were also included during that period and defined as the nonmultidisciplinary team cohort. The multidisciplinary team cohort exhibited lower numbers of primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma but a higher tumor grade and a greater proportion of R2 resection. After propensity-score matching, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 89.5%, 70.5%, and 62.9%, respectively, in the multidisciplinary team cohort, and 77.1%, 49.8%, and 45.1% in the nonmultidisciplinary team cohort. The diagnostic consistency of the multidisciplinary team group was significantly superior to that of the nonmultidisciplinary cohort (92.5% vs 83.6%, P = .042). Although no significant links were shown with duration of stay (P = .232) and 30-day reoperation (P = .447), the multidisciplinary team participation was linked to a substantial decrease in perioperative mortality (P = .036) and postoperative complications (P = .002). Additionally, the multidisciplinary team group indicated stronger illness awareness and postoperative adherence among individuals with retroperitoneal liposarcoma. CONCLUSION The study's findings indicate that multidisciplinary team management could result in improved clinical outcomes, higher diagnostic accuracy, and reduced duration of postoperative stays, complications, and perioperative mortality. The intervention may also enhance disease awareness and postoperative compliance in retroperitoneal liposarcoma patients who undergo surgery. However, evidence quality was deemed low, and prospective studies with robust designs are required. Nonetheless, these results are worth considering.

Abstract
Objective Diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease are multifactorial conditions with multiple etiologies that share similar pathophysiologies. This nationwide cohort study examined the impact of diabetes mellitus on the follow-up development of chronic kidney disease. Methods By retrieving the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005, 5121 patients with diabetes mellitus were included in this study and 5121 patients without diabetes mellitus, who were matched according to sex, age, and Charlson comorbidity index made up the control group. The adjusted hazard ratios for chronic kidney disease were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of chronic kidney disease rate in the diabetes mellitus and control groups. Results After adjusting for sex, age, and Charlson comorbidity index score, the diabetes mellitus group had a 1.380 times higher (95% CI: 1.277-1.492) risk of developing chronic kidney disease than the control group. Further stratified analysis showed that patients with diabetes mellitus had a significantly higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease regardless of their sex, age, and Charlson comorbidity index score, compared to those without diabetes mellitus. Conclusions There is a possibility that diabetes mellitus serves as an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease development. Early screening and monitoring of diabetes mellitus appear to be of great importance in the prevention of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Background Overall survival (OS) varies significantly among individuals with heterogeneous retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS), even among those with the same clinical stage. Improved staging of RPLS is a critical unmet need, given the disappointing results of external validations of the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging system. Methods The cohort study included 220 consecutive patients who underwent surgical resection for primary RPLS at the largest sarcoma centre of Fudan University in China from September 2009 to August 2021, combined with 277 adult patients with RPLS in the SEER database from 1975 to 2020. Data analysis was performed from December 2021 to December 2022. Patients were retrospectively restaged according to the 8th and 7th editions of the TNM staging system as well as the new TNM (nTNM) staging system. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Comparative analysis of postoperative survival was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between subgroups were tested using the log-rank test. The OS prediction nomogram was generated based on baseline variables and tumour characteristics. Harrell's consistency index (C-index), area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), and calibration curves were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. Results A total of 497 patients were enrolled in the study, including 282 (56.7%) male patients. The median follow-up was 51 months (interquartile range, IQR, 23-83), and the OS rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 87.9%, 75.3%, and 64.9%, respectively. According to the staging distribution of the AJCC 7th edition, 6 patients were stage IA (1.2%), 189 patients were stage IB (38%), 12 patients were stage IIA (2.4%), 150 patients were stage IIB (30.1%), 131 patients were stage III (26.3%), and 9 patients were stage IV (1.8%). With the 8th edition staging, this distribution changed: 6 patients (1.2%) were stage IA, 189 patients (38%) were stage IB, 12 patients (2.4%) were stage II, 24 patients (4.8%) were stage IIIA, 257 patients (51.7%) were stage IIIB, and 9 patients (1.8%) were stage IV. 182 patients (36.6%) were reclassified according to the nTNM staging system with the new T stage classification. The C-index and log-rank score improved after implementation of nTNM implementation. The nTNM system was associated with improved identification of high-risk patients compared with the AJCC 7th and 8th TNM. The FNCLCC stage proved to be highly prognostic with significant intergroup differences in OS. The calibration curve shows a high degree of agreement between the actual OS rate and the nomogram estimated OS rate. Conclusion Compared with 8th AJCC TNM, 7th AJCC TNM staging system showed a more homogeneous staging distribution and a slight improvement in the prognostic accuracy of RPLS. The revised T-stage and nTNM systems showed better risk stratification performance. The FNCLCC stage was found to have high prognostic value, further emphasising histological grade is the least negligible prognostic factor in predicting patient survival. The constructed nomogram model enables individualized prognostic analysis and helps to develop risk-adapted therapy for RPLS patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preterm birth (PTB) frequently results from the syndrome of preterm labor (PTL). PTL is linked to an atypical maternal inflammatory response, as well as intrauterine inflammation and/or infection. In this study, we explored the mechanisms involved in nicotine-mediated abnormal macrophage polarization and trophoblast invasion associated with PTL. METHODS First, THP-1-M0 macrophages were generated by treating the human monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate for a duration of 24 h. Afterward, nicotine treatment was administered, followed by coculturing with the HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cell line (HTR-8) at a ratio of 1:1. Next, we transfected sh-α7nAChR and treated THP-1-M0 macrophages and HTR-8 cells with nicotine. In addition, we transfected THP-1-M0 macrophages with sh-NC or sh-SIRT1 or subjected them to 4 nM nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolic inhibitor FK866 treatment. Moreover, HTR-8 cells were treated with nicotine, after which THP-1-M0 macrophages were cocultured with HTR-8 cells. Finally, we constructed an in vivo RU486-induced PTL rat model to verify the effect of nicotine and the mechanisms involved. RESULTS We found that nicotine affected polarization and α7nAChR expression in HTR-8 cocultured THP-1-M0 macrophages. Knocking down α7nAChR blocked the effect of nicotine on the proliferation and invasion of HTR-8 cells. Furthermore, nicotine activated the α7nAChR/SIRT1 axis to regulate THP-1-M0 macrophage polarization through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Additionally, NAD metabolism mediated the role of the α7nAChR/SIRT1 axis in nicotine-induced polarization of HTR-8 cocultured THP-1-M0 macrophages. In vivo experiments demonstrated that nicotine alleviated inflammation in PTL rats, which involved the α7nAChR/SIRT1 axis. CONCLUSION Nicotine regulated abnormal macrophage polarization and trophoblast invasion associated with PTL via the α7nAChR/SIRT1 axis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop an interpretive model with decision rules to assess the risk level of pressure injuries in adult inpatients and identify the critical risk factors associated with these injuries. METHODS The rough set approach was used to identify the critical risk factors associated with pressure injuries and demonstrate their behavioral patterns. The study focused on adult inpatients aged 18 or above who remained in bed for at least 24 hours after admission. The data was extracted from a nursing electronic medical record system of a hospital in Zhejiang Province, China, from 27 October 2019 to 1 November 2020. RESULTS The critical risk factors associated with pressure injuries in adult inpatients were identified as "Sensory perception," "Nutrition," and "Friction and shear." A prediction model with 89 decision rules was established and demonstrated reliable predictive capabilities. Nursing staff should focus more on high-risk and severe-risk rules (Rules 11 to 18) to reduce the likelihood of potential high-risk pressure injuries. CONCLUSIONS The prediction model established by the rough set approach can be used to identify the critical risk factors of pressure injuries and has good explanatory ability, which can complement and improve the predictive accuracy of the Braden Scale. The decision-making rules can help nurses improve work efficiency. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Explanatory analysis can explain most inpatients' potential risk patterns and corresponding critical risk factors. Data-driven research models and results can help nurses understand patients' potential risks better. Additionally, these insights can be valuable in nursing education, aiding new nurses in comprehending and addressing the potential risks patients face.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prisoner health is a topic of significant importance; however, it has received limited attention in epidemiological studies, likely because of challenges in obtaining relevant data. Specifically, research on ocular disorders among elderly prisoners is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of disorders of the eye and adnexa among elderly prisoners in Taiwan. METHODS We investigated the presence of eye and adnexal disorders in elderly prisoners in Taiwan using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The ocular disorders were identified using the appropriate disease codes in the International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision Clinical Modification (codes 360-379). In addition, the most common types of eye and adnexal disorders among the prisoners were identified. RESULTS A total of 2215 elderly prisoners (age ≥ 65 years; 2073 men and 142 women) were examined. The prevalence of eye and adnexal disorders among the prisoners was 18.87%. The elderly female prisoners exhibited a higher prevalence of eye and adnexal disorders than the elderly male prisoners. The most common disorders were disorders of the conjunctiva, cataract, and disorders of the lacrimal system. CONCLUSIONS A considerable proportion of elderly prisoners have disorders of the eye and adnexa. The overall quality of life of elderly prisoners can be improved by addressing their visual health, which contributes to the fulfillment of their basic human rights.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an age-dependent cardiovascular disease in which cell aging, immunity, and inflammatory factors alter the course; however, cell aging-immune/inflammation signatures in AMI have not been investigated. METHODS Based on the GEO database to obtain microRNA (miRNA) sequencing, mRNA sequencing and single-cell sequencing data, and utilizing the Seurat package to identify AMI-associated cellular subpopulations. Subsequently, differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs were screened to establish a network of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). Senescence and immunity scores were calculated by single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA), ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT algorithms, and the Hmisc package was used to screen for genes with the highest correlation with senescence and immunity scores. Finally, protein-protein interaction (PPI) and molecular docking analyses were performed to predict potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of AMI. RESULTS Four cell types (Macrophage, Fibroblast, Endothelial cells, CD8 T cells) were identified in AMI, and CD8 T cells exhibited the lowest cell aging activity. A ceRNA network of miRNAs-mNRA interactions was established based on the overlapping genes in differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) target genes and differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs). Twenty-four marker genes of CD8 T cells were observed. LIMD2 was identified as cell aging-immune/inflammation-related hub gene in AMI. This study also identified a potential therapeutic network of DB03276-LIMD2-AMI, which showed excellent and stable binding status between DB03276-LIMD2. CONCLUSION This study identified LIMD2 as a cell aging-immune/inflammation-related hub gene. The understanding of the pathogenesis and therapeutic mechanisms of AMI was enriched by the ceRNA network and DB03276-LIMD2-LAMI therapeutic network.

Abstract
Background The reasons for the recurrence of common bile duct stones (CBDS) in elderly patients after choledocholithotomy are still unclear. This study aims to establish a prediction model for CBDS recurrence by identifying risk factors. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1804 elderly patients aged 65 years and above who were diagnosed to have CBDS and were admitted to Nanjing First Hospital between January 1, 2010, and January 1, 2021. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 706 patients were selected for the final analysis. The patients were assigned to two groups according to the presence or absence of CBDS recurrence, and their clinical data were then statistically analyzed. Subsequently, a prediction model and nomogram were developed, evaluating effectiveness using the concordance index (C-index). Results Of the 706 elderly patients, 62 patients experienced CBDS recurrence after surgery, resulting in a recurrence rate of 8.8%. The multivariate Cox analysis showed that prior history of cholecystectomy (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.931, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.051-3.547, p = 0.034), white blood cell (WBC) count ≥11.0 × 109/L (HR = 2.923, 95% CI: 1.723-4.957, p < 0.001), preoperative total bilirubin (TBIL) level ≥ 36.5 mmol/L (HR = 2.172, 95% CI: 1.296-3.639, p = 0.003), number of stones ≥2 (HR = 2.093, 95% CI: 1.592-5.294, p = 0.001), maximum stone diameter ≥ 0.85 cm (HR = 1.940, 95% CI: 1.090-3.452, p = 0.024), and T-tube drainage (HR = 2.718, 95% CI: 1.230-6.010, p = 0.013) were independent risk factors of CBDS recurrence in elderly patients after choledocholithotomy. A postoperative CBDS recurrence prediction model was constructed with a C-index value of 0.758 (95% CI: 0.698-0.818) and internal validation value of 0.758 (95% CI: 0.641-0.875). Conclusion A history of cholecystectomy, WBC count ≥11.0 × 109/L, preoperative TBIL level ≥ 36.5 mmol/L, number of stones ≥2, maximum stone diameter ≥ 0.85 cm, and T-tube drainage are the independent risk factors of CBDS recurrence after choledocholithotomy in elderly patients. Our developed prediction model for CBDS recurrence has good predictive ability and can help predict the prognosis of patients with CBDS.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of body mass index (BMI) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been well acknowledged; however, the reported conclusions are still incongruent. This study aimed to investigate the effect of BMI on IVF embryos and fresh transfer clinical outcomes. METHODS This retrospective cohort analysis included patients who underwent IVF/ICSI treatment and fresh embryo transfer from 2014 to March 2022. Patients were divided into the underweight group: BMI < 18.5 kg/m2; normal group: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24 kg/m2; overweight group: 24 ≤ BMI < 28 kg/m2; and obesity group: BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the impact of BMI on each IVF outcome used as a continuous variable. RESULTS A total of 3465 IVF/ICSI cycles in the embryo part; and 1698 fresh embryo transplanted cycles from the clinical part were included. Available embryos rate (61.59% vs. 57.32%, p = 0.007) and blastocyst development rates (77.98% vs. 66.27%, p < 0.001) were higher in the obesity group compared to the normal BMI group. Also, the fertilization rate of IVF cycles in the obesity group was significantly decreased vs. normal BMI group (normal: 62.95% vs. 66.63% p = 0.006; abnormal: 5.43% vs. 7.04%, p = 0.037), while there was no difference in ICSI cycles. The clinical outcomes of overweight and obesity groups were comparable to the normal group. The gestational age of the obesity group was lower compared to the normal group (38.08 ± 1.95 vs. 38.95 ± 1.55, p = 0.011). The adjusted OR (AOR) of BMI for the preterm birth rate of singletons was 1.134 [(95% CI 1.037-1.240), p = 0.006]. BMI was significantly associated with live birth rate after excluded the PCOS patients [AOR: 1.042 (95% CI 1.007-1.078), p = 0.018]. In young age (≤ 35 years), clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate were positively correlated with BMI, AOR was 1.038 [95% CI (1.001-1.076), p = 0.045] and 1.037 [95% CI (1.002-1.074) p = 0.038] respectively. CONCLUSION Being overweight and obese was not associated with poor IVF outcomes but could affect blastocyst formation. ICSI could help to avoid low fertilization in obese patients. Also, obesity was associated with increased rates of premature singleton births.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver fibrosis is an intrinsic wound-healing response to chronic injury and the major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, no effective diagnostic or therapeutic strategies are available, owing to its poorly characterized molecular etiology. We aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying liver fibrogenesis. METHODS We performed a quantitative proteomic analysis of clinical fibrotic liver samples to identify dysregulated proteins. Further analyses were performed on the sera of 164 patients with liver fibrosis. Two fibrosis mouse models and several biochemical experiments were used to elucidate liver fibrogenesis. RESULTS We identified cathepsin S (CTSS) up-regulation as a central node for extracellular matrix remodeling in the human fibrotic liver by proteomic screening. Increased serum CTSS levels efficiently predicted liver fibrosis, even at an early stage. Secreted CTSS cleaved collagen 18A1 at its C-terminus, releasing endostatin peptide, which directly bound to and activated hepatic stellate cells via integrin α5β1 signaling, whereas genetic ablation of Ctss remarkably suppressed liver fibrogenesis via endostatin reduction in vivo. Further studies identified macrophages as the main source of hepatic CTSS, and splenectomy effectively attenuated macrophage infiltration and CTSS expression in the fibrotic liver. Pharmacologic inhibition of CTSS ameliorated liver fibrosis progression in the mouse models. CONCLUSIONS CTSS functions as a novel profibrotic factor by remodeling extracellular matrix proteins and may represent a promising target for the diagnosis and treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Introduction The exploration of lipid metabolism dysregulation may provide novel perspectives for retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS). In our study, we aimed to investigate potential targets and facilitate further understanding of immune landscape in RPLS, through lipid metabolism-associated genes (LMAGs) based prognostic model. Methods Gene expression profiles and corresponding clinical information of 234 cases were enrolled from two public databases and the largest retroperitoneal tumor research center of East China, including cohort-TCGA (n=58), cohort-GSE30929 (n=92), cohort-FD (n=50), cohort-scRNA-seq (n=4) and cohort-validation (n=30). Consensus clustering analysis was performed to identify lipid metabolism-associated molecular subtypes (LMSs). A prognostic risk model containing 13 LMAGs was established using LASSO algorithm and multivariate Cox analysis in cohort-TCGA. ESTIMATE, CIBERSORT, XCELL and MCP analyses were performed to visualize the immune landscape. WGCNA was used to identify three hub genes among the 13 model LMAGs, and preliminarily validated in both cohort-GSE30929 and cohort-FD. Moreover, TIMER was used to visualize the correlation between antigen-presenting cells and potential targets. Finally, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of four RPLS and multiplexed immunohistochemistry (mIHC) were performed in cohort-validation to validate the discoveries of bioinformatics analysis. Results LMS1 and LMS2 were characterized as immune-infiltrated and -excluded tumors, with significant differences in molecular features and clinical prognosis, respectively. Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 2 (ELOVL2), the enzyme that catalyzed the elongation of long chain fatty acids, involved in the maintenance of lipid metabolism and cellular homeostasis in normal cells, was identified and negatively correlated with antigen-presenting cells and identified as a potential target in RPLS. Furthermore, ELOVL2 was enriched in LMS2 with significantly lower immunoscore and unfavorable prognosis. Finally, a high-resolution dissection through scRNA-seq was performed in four RPLS, revealing the entire tumor ecosystem and validated previous findings. Discussion The LMS subgroups and risk model based on LMAGs proposed in our study were both promising prognostic classifications for RPLS. ELOVL2 is a potential target linking lipid metabolism to immune regulations against RPLS, specifically for patients with LMS2 tumors.

Abstract
Hydrogels with wet adhesion are promising interfacial adhesive materials; however, their adhesion in water, oil, or organic solvents remains a major challenge. To address this, a pressure-sensitive P(AAm-co-C18 )/PTA-Fe hydrogel is fabricated, which exhibits robust adhesion to various substrates in both aqueous solutions and oil environments. It is demonstrated that the key to wet adhesion under liquid conditions is the removal of the interfacial liquid, which can be achieved through rational molecular composition regulation. By complexing with hydrophilic polymer networks, phosphotungstic acid (PTA) is introduced into the hydrogel network as a physical cross-linker and anchor point to improve the cohesion strength and drive the migration of polymer chains. The migration and rearrangement of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer chains on the hydrogel surface are induced by the electrostatic interactions of Fe3+ , which create a surface with interfacial water- and oil-removing properties. By co-regulating the hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer chains, the P(AAm-co-C18 )/PTA-Fe hydrogel is able to act as a pressure-sensitive adhesive under water and oils with adhesion strength of 92.6 and 90.0 kPa, respectively. It is anticipated that this regulation strategy for polymer chains will promote the development of wet adhesion hydrogels, which can have a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is characterized by excessive synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in liver tissues. However, it still has been lacking of early detection and diagnosis methods. The collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) is a novel synthetic peptide that enables detection of collagen damage and tissue remodeling. Here, we showed that obvious CHP-positive staining could be detected in the liver while given CCl4 for only 3 days, which was significantly enhanced while given CCl4 for 7 days. However, H&E staining showed no significant changes in fibrous tissue, and sirius red-positive staining could only be observed while given CCl4 for 14 days. Moreover, CHP-positive staining enhanced initially at portal area which further extended into the hepatic lobule, which was increased more significantly than sirius red-positive staining in the model of 10 and 14 days. Further proteomic analysis of CHP-positive staining revealed that pathways associated with ECM remodeling were significantly increased, while retinol metabolism was downregulated. Meanwhile, proteins enriched in cellular gene transcription and signal transduction involved in fibrogenesis were also upregulated, suggesting that fibrosis occurred in CHP-positive staining. Our study provided evidence that CHP could detect the collagen damage in liver, which might be an efficient indicator for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis at a very early stage.

Abstract
Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), hemodynamic responses (i.e., changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin) were measured while participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy controls performed the Timed-Up-and-Go test (TUGT), and differences in cortical activity at baseline and three different intervals were examined between the two groups. Seventeen PD patients and twenty-two controls participated in the study, but two PD patients were excluded from statistical analysis due to the presence of freezing of gait and using walking aids during the TUGT. During the TUGT, activity in the front, left, right and total frontal cortices initially decreased significantly, then significantly increased in PD participants and low-risk faller PD participants, compared to when in a sitting position. ΔHbO (HbO change from baseline) over the front, left and total frontal cortices in the PD group was significantly lower than the control group in interval 1 (P = 0.019, P = 0.014 and P = 0.031, respectively), while significantly higher than the control group in interval 2 over the left frontal cortex (P = 0.010). No significant differences were observed between the high-risk faller and low-risk faller subgroups of PD participants in ΔHbO and ΔHbR in the three intervals (P > 0.05). In the high-risk faller subgroup, ΔHbO over the left frontal cortex was significantly higher than the right frontal cortex in interval 2 and interval 3 (P = 0.015, P = 0.030, respectively). There was a strong positive correlation between education and HbR concentration over the right frontal cortex in PD participants (rho = 0.557, P = 0.031), while there were strong negative correlations between PD duration and HbR concentration over the right and total frontal cortices in the high-risk faller subgroup of PD participants (rho = -0.854, P = 0.014 for the right; rho = -0.784, P = 0.037 for the total). The falls prediction cutoff TUGT time for PD participants was 14.2 s. These results suggest that frontal cognition training, along with exercise training, could be used as an effective training method to improve motor performance in PD patients, especially for those at high-risk for falls.

Abstract
Developing an efficient approach to decompose ground-level O3 in humidity is crucial for preventing O3 pollution in practical application scenes. In this study, MnOx, CuO, and Cu/MnOx were synthesized to investigate the influence of H2O on the variation of active sites during O3 decomposition. The structural characterizations of the as-synthetic catalysts were measured by N2 physisorption, XRD, SEM, O2-TPD, H2-TPR, TG, and FT-IR analyses. In dry conditions, the elimination rate of O3 followed the sequence of MnOx > Cu/MnOx > CuO. The introduction of Cu to MnOx enhanced the surface area and pore volume of Cu/MnOx, accordingly diminishing the amounts of surface defects and the participation of sub-surface lattice oxygen for catalytic cycle, indicating that surface defects and oxygen vacancies (VO) determined the catalytic activity for O3 decomposition. In humid conditions, the elimination rate of O3 changed to the sequence of Cu/MnOx > MnOx > CuO, with a variation rate compared to dry conditions of -62.9% for MnOx, 14.2% for CuO, and 27.7% for Cu/MnOx. The decrease of participant sub-surface lattice oxygen and the accumulation of intermediates in humidity diminished the decomposition of O3 on MnOx, while the active species such as superoxide radicals generating from the reaction of H2O and Cu/MnOx facilitated the participation of VO and the desorption of O2 from the occupied active sites, accelerating the catalytic cycle on Cu/MnOx. This work developed a deeper understanding of the influence of H2O on catalytic activity, promoting the performance of MnOx-based catalysts for practical O3 decomposition.

OBJECTIVE The study aims to predict the target and molecular mechanism of Xuebijing injection in the treatment of novel coronavirus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), based on network pharmacology. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chinese and English studies were searched to obtain the main active components of Xuebijing injection. ETCM, TCMSP and Targetnet online databases were adopted used to predict Xuebijing therapeutic targets. GeneCards, CTD and OMIM databases were researched used to research for the novel coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) and ARDS-related targets. Integrate analysis was carried out to obtain the targets of Xuebijing injection in the treatment of ARDS caused by novel coronavirus. STRING was adopted to analyze the interaction of common target proteins. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were carried out using Bioconductor bioinformatics software package based on R software. Network visualization was performed with Cytoscape software. RESULTS A total of 30 main active components in Xuebijing injection were collected in this study, which can act on 615 targets. The core components of Xuebijing injection in treating the coronavirus-induced ARDS are Ferulic acid, Ethyl ferulate, Albiflorin, Caffeic acid, Rosmarinic acid, Naringenin, Quercetin. Xuebijing injection has 56 target points for the treatment of ARDS caused by the novel coronavirus, among which AKT1, TNF, CASP3 and STAT3 are the core ones. The main molecular mechanisms of Xuebijing injection in treating the coronavirus-induced ARDs include PI3K-Akt, TNF, STAT3, NF-κB and apoptosis-related pathways. CONCLUSIONS Xuebijing mainly treats ARDS caused by the novel coronavirus through anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and regulation of immunity since it has the characteristics of multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway.

Abstract
Background Colonic mucosal injuries are an important manifestation of ulcerative colitis (UC), which is related to hypoxia-induced glycolysis in colonic mucosal epithelial cells (cmECs). Panax notoginseng (PN) promotes the repair of colonic mucosal injuries by inhibiting hypoxia-induced glycolysis in cmECs; However, the mechanism by which this occurs is not completely clear. Here, we are to investigate the effects of PN on glucose metabolism in cmECs in colitis and the underlying mechanism. Methods A model of dextran sulfate sodium–induced colitis rats was used in this research, and the severity of colitis was assessed by pathology, disease activity index (DAI), and weight changes. The content of intracellular pyruvate, intracellular lactate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial ROS (mtROS), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and inflammatory cytokines was detected by assay kits. The expression levels of proteins were detected by western blotting. The expression levels of the ATP4a gene were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QT-PCR). Results The colonic mucosal injuries of the colitis rats were significantly worse than those of the control group. Specifically, the hypoxia-induced glycolysis and potential of hydrogen (pH) in the colonic lumen were increased, and the expression of ATP4a was downregulated in the colitis rats. PN (1.0 g/kg) promoted the repair of colonic mucosal injuries, and reversed the pH in the colonic lumen. Further, PN increased the expression of ATP4a proteins, the content of ATP, and the SOD activity, and decreased the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase lipoamide kinase isozyme and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha proteins, the content of ROS, and MPO activity in cmECs in colitis. PN also increased the expression of ATP4a, cytochrome P450 family 21 subfamily a member 2, and hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta and steroid delta-isomerase 2 proteins in the mitochondria, and decreased the content of mtROS in cmECs. Conclusions PN alleviated the pH in the colonic lumen and hypoxia-induced glycolysis in cmECs by reducing the hypoxia-induced glycolysis caused by the downregulation of ATP4a protein, thereby promoting the repair of colonic mucosal injuries in colitis.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the key factors and decision-making behaviors affecting overall satisfaction based on perceptual data of outpatients. Methods: The official satisfaction questionnaire developed by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China was used. Rough set theory was used to identify the perception patterns between condition attributes (i.e., service factors) and a decision attribute (i.e., overall service level) and to express them in rule form (i.e., if-then). Results: The four minimal-coverage rules, with strength exceeding 10% in the good class, and six crucial condition attributes were obtained: "Ease of registration (C 1)," "Respected by registered staff (C 2)," "Registered staff's listening (C 3)," "Respected by doctor (C 9)," "Signpost (C 12)," and "Privacy (C 16)." In addition, the average hit rate for 5-fold cross-validation was 90.86%. Conclusions: A series of decision rules could help decision-makers easily understand outpatients' situations and propose more suitable programs for improving hospital service quality because these decision rules are based on actual outpatient experiences.

Abstract
Freezing of gait is a disabling symptom with a complex episodic nature that is frequently experienced by people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Although China has the largest population with PD in the world, no Chinese version of the freezing of gait questionnaire (FOGQ), the instrument that has been most widely used to assess FOG, has yet been developed. This study aimed to translate and adapt the original version of FOGQ to create a Chinese version, the FOGQ-CH, then assess its reliability, calculate the Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) and investigate its validity. The forward-backwards translation model was adopted, and cultural adaptation included expert review and pretesting. For the reliability study, 31 Chinese native speaking patients with PD were assessed two times in a 7–10 days interval. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the FOGQ-CH were measured by Cronbach's alpha (Cα) and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). For the validity study, 34 native speakers of Chinese with PD were included. To explore the convergent validity, relationships between the FOGQ-CH and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part II (UPDRS II) and Part III (UPDRS III), Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), Timed Up and Go Test in cognitive task (TUGT-Cog), walking speed (10 MWT speed), and step length (10 MWT step length) in a 10-m Walk Test were tested. To explore predictive validity, the number of falls followed up for 6 months were assessed. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was employed to test the capacity of FOGQ-CH to discriminate those with falls. From the reliability study, Cα = 0.823, ICC = 0.786. The MDC0.90 = 4.538. From the validity study, the FOGQ-CH showed moderate correlations with UPDRS II (rho = 0.560, p = 0.001), UPDRS III (rho = 0.451, p = 0.007), TUGT (rho = 0.556, p = 0.007), TUGT-Cog (rho = 0.557, p = 0.001), 10MWT-speed (rho = −0.478, p = 0.004), 10MWT-step length (rho = −0.419, p = 0.014), and the number of falls followed up for 6 months (rho = 0.356, p = 0.045). The AUC = 0.777 (p = 0.036) for predicting whether the participants will have multiple falls (two or more) in the following 6 months. The FOGQ-CH showed good reliability and validity for assessing Chinese native speaking patients with PD. In addition, the FOGQ-CH showed good efficacy for predicting multiple falls in the following 6 months.

Abstract
Background Notoginsenoside R2 (NGR2) is an important active saponin molecule of Panax Notoginseng (PN), but its effect on regulating angiogenesis is unclear. Here, we investigated the role of NGR2 in angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Methods NGR2 was administered to rats by intragastric administration for 7 days. The colonic histopathology and microvessel density (MVD) were observed and evaluated under an inverted microscope. The colonic mucosal permeability (MP) and vascular permeability (VP) were evaluated by measuring the transmittance of FD-4 and the vascular leakage of Evans blue, respectively. The serum IL-2, TNF-ɑ, IL-4, IL-10, VEGFA165, and VEGFA121 levels were detected with ELISA. In vitro, pHUVECs were cultured and treated with NGR2. The mechanism of NGR2 in angiogenesis was assessed by VEGFA165, LY294002, silencing, and overexpression plasmids of Rap1GAPin vitro. The cell viability, cell proliferation, tube formation, and concentration of intracellular pyruvate and lactic acid of pHUVECs were measured after 24 h. The expression of proteins was detected with western blotting. Results NGR2 could significantly induce inflammatory injuries in the colonic mucosa and microvessels. Both MP and VP in rats treated with NGR2 increased in proportion to the serum VEGFA165 and VEGFA121 level, the ratio of VEGFA165/VEGFA121, and the concentration of intracellular pyruvate and lactic acid. In vitro, NGR2 reduced cell viability, proliferation, and tube formation, and enhanced the intracellular glycolysis of pHUVECs. Furthermore, the cell viability, proliferation, and tube formation of pHUVECs were inhibited by NGR2 via blocking the Rap1GAP/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Conclusions NGR2 could induce colonic mucosal microvascular injuries and promoted the intracellular glycolysis of pHUVECs via blocking the Rap1GAP/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
The presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in ozonation process can resist the formation of carcinogenic bromate (BrO3¯) efficiently, and the bromate depression is closely related with background water qualities, especially in high bromide-containing seawater. In this study, the freshwater and seawater were selected to investigate the effects of H2O2 on ozone (O3) decomposition kinetics, bromide transformation and bromate depression, and the evolutions of BrO3¯ under different scavengers were explored to speculate the primary bromate formation pathways. The results showed that the initial O3 half-live period (t1/2-O3) in seawater was only one-sixth of that in freshwater, and its attenuation rate increased analogously with the increase of H2O2 concentration in both freshwater and seawater. The H2O2 could promote the formation of BrO3¯ via hydroxyl radical (•OH) based bromate pathways, nevertheless higher concentration of H2O2 facilitated the reduction of HOBr/OBr¯ back to Br¯, resulting in 87.0% and 73.2% of BrO3¯ retardment in freshwater and seawater, respectively. The suppression ratios of BrO3¯ were up to 48.4% and 35.3% in freshwater with the addition of •OH and •O2¯ scavengers, and the corresponding depressions in seawater decreased to 35.3% and 12.7%, indicating that •OH was dominant on bromate formation when the concentration of residual ozone was adequate to generate some bromine intermediates, meanwhile H2O2 and •O2¯ functioned as the key reductants for bromate depression. Based on these results, the Br¯ transformation mechanisms via O3, •OH, H2O2, and •O2¯ reactions were speculated, and the feasibility of H2O2-ozonation was verified for the treatment of high Br¯-containing seawater.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sequential media G5 series (Vitrolife) and single-step medium Continuous Single Culture Complete (CSC-C) (Irvine Scientific) are two different culture media. We want to examine difference between culturing effects of the two media. METHODS To compare the fertilization and early embryo development, a prospective randomized controlled trial with sibling oocytes in infertile patients, aged ≤ 45 years with ≥ 8 oocytes (226 cycles) was conducted. Each half of the retrieved oocytes from the same patient were randomly allocated to two culture media separately. The remaining fresh cycles were randomly assigned to two culture media during the same period (179 cycles). We compared the clinical outcomes based on the total fresh ET cycles in this periods, in which the transferred embryos were only from one culture medium. RESULTS Embryo outcomes: 226 cycles, included 176 IVF and 50 ICSI cycles, were analyzed, which correspond to 3518 inseminated or micro-injected oocytes. Clinical outcomes: 71 (CSC-C) and 71 (G5 series) fresh ET cycles were compared. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes and general fertilization rate. However, the fertilization rate was superior in the CSC-C when compared with G5 in ICSI cycles (76.51% vs. 67.25%, P = 0.008). In addition, the compacted embryo development rate was significantly higher in CSC-C on day 3. The cycles that had compacted embryos on day 3 demonstrated better outcomes both in embryos as well as clinically. CONCLUSIONS CSC-C had higher fertilization rates than G5 series in ICSI cycles. In addition, the compaction rates of day 3 embryos were significantly higher in CSC-C.

Abstract
Background: The current study sought to determine the incidence of postoperative adverse events (AEs) based on data from the 2006 Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Methods: This retrospective case-control study included patients who experienced postoperative AEs in 387 hospitals throughout Taiwan in 2006. The independent variable was the presence or absence of 10 possible postoperative AEs, as identified by patient safety indicators (PSIs). Results: A total of 17,517 postoperative AEs were identified during the study year. PSI incidence ranged from 0.1/1,000 admissions (obstetric trauma-cesarean section) to 132.6/1,000 admissions (obstetric trauma with instrument). Length of stay (LOS) associated with postoperative AEs ranged from 0.10 days (obstetric trauma with instrument) to 14.06 days (postoperative respiratory failure). Total hospitalization expenditures (THEs) ranged from 363.7 New Taiwan Dollars (obstetric trauma without instrument) to 263,732 NTD (postoperative respiratory failure). Compared to patients without AEs, we determined that the THEs were 2.13 times in cases of postoperative AE and LOS was 1.72 times higher. Conclusions: AEs that occur during hospitalization have a major impact on THEs and LOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapies targeting immune molecules have rapidly been adopted and advanced the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nonetheless, no studies have reported a systematic analysis between immunological profiles and clinical significance in HCC. METHODS We comprehensively investigated immune patterns and systematically correlated 22 types of both adaptive and innate immune cells with genomic characteristics and clinical outcomes based on 370 HCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database through a metagene approach (known as CIBERSORT). Based on the Quantitative Pathology Imaging and Analysis System coupled with integrated high-dimensional bioinformatics analysis, we further independently validated six immune subsets (CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD20+ B cells, CD14+ monocytes, CD56+ NK cells, and CD68+ macrophages), and shortlisted three (CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD56+ NK cells) of which to investigate their association with clinical outcomes in two independent Zhongshan cohorts of HCC patients (n = 258 and n = 178). Patient prognosis was further evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and univariate and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS By using the CIBERSORT method, the immunome landscape of HCC was constructed based on integrated transcriptomics analysis and multiplexed sequential immunohistochemistry. Further, the patients were categorized into four immune subgroups featured with distinct clinical outcomes. Strikingly, significant inter-tumoral and intra-tumoral immune heterogeneity was further identified according to the in-depth interrogation of the immune landscape. CONCLUSION This work represents a potential useful resource for the immunoscore establishment for prognostic prediction in HCC patients.

Abstract
This study aimed at assessing which one of the 2 therapies is better for treating carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from the perspective of reducing delayed neuropsychologic sequelae (DNS).We used Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to conduct a nationwide population-based cohort study to assess which therapy is better for CO poisoning patients. To accurately identify patients with DNS, the definition of DNS is included neurological sequelae, and cognitive and psychological sequele. The independent variable was therapy and the dependent variable was DNS occurred within 1 year after discharge from a medical institution. The control variables were age, gender, the severity of CO poisoning, and comorbidities present before CO poisoning admission.The risk of developing DNS in patients treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) was 1.87-fold (P < .001) than normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy. The severity of CO poisoning and comorbidities were also found to have significant influences on the risk of developing DNS.HBO may be a risk therapy for treating CO poisoning.

Abstract
Current evidence is controversial in the association between peripheral lymphocyte levels and the progression and mortality of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and this meta-analysis aimed to clarify the association. A systematic search was conducted in public databases to identify all relevant studies, and the study-specific odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled. Finally, 16 studies were identified with a total of 1,873 progressive COVID-19 cases and 5,177 stable COVID-19 cases. In COVID-19 progression, lymphocyte levels showed a significant negative correlation (OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.51-0.89), but it was not significant in the subsets of CD3+ T cells (OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.93-1.02), CD4+ T cells (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.80-1.08), CD8+ T cells (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.92-1.00), B cells (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.92-1.04), or NK cells (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.61-1.04). In COVID-19 mortality, lymphocyte levels showed a significant negative correlation (OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.20-0.85), but it was not significant in the subsets of CD3+ T cells (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.86-1.05), CD4+ T cells (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.86-1.31), CD8+ T cells (OR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.14-1.01), B cells (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.92-1.04), or NK cells (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.61-1.04). In conclusion, current evidence suggests a significant negative association of peripheral lymphocyte levels with COVID-19 progression and mortality, but it was not significant in the subsets of CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, and NK cells.

Abstract
Tumor-infiltrating tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are thought to have anti-tumor activity and are believed to indicate a favorable prognosis in cancer patients. However, the prognostic value of TLS in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is unknown. We evaluated the prognostic value of TLS using two independent GIST cohorts. Pathological examinations identified TLS in 44.9% of patients in our discovery cohort (DC). TLS was significantly associated with smaller tumor size (P = .011), relatively well morphological classification (P < .001), lower NIH classification (P < .001), lower recurrence (P = .005), longer survival time (P < .001) and lower imatinib resistance (P = .006). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that TLS was remarkably associated with favorable survival (P = .0002) and recurrence (P = .0015) time. In addition, the presence of KIT mutations and the absence of TLS suggested worst prognosis both in terms of overall survival (OS) (P = .0029) and time to recurrence (TTR) (P = .0150), while the presence of PDGFRA mutations and TLS suggested optimal prognosis for OS and TTR. Multivariate analyzes demonstrated that TLS was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR:0.180, P = .002) and TTR (HR:0.412, P = .023). These results were confirmed using our validation cohort. Multiplexed immunohistochemistry staining was used to determine the composition of TLS. Therapies designed to target TLS may be a novel therapeutic strategy for GIST patients with imatinib resistance.

Abstract
Phenol, as a representative organic pollutant in aquatic environments, has posed a serious threat to humans and ecosystem. In this work, a novel integration system combined coal-based carbon membrane with sulfate radicals-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) was designed for degradation of phenol. The integrated system achieved 100% removal efficiency under the optimal condition (peroxydisulfate dosage is 0.2 g/L, at alkaline condition with 2 mL/min flow velocity). The quenching experiments revealed that the efficient removal of phenol by the integrated system were attributed to the co-existence of radical and nonradical mechanisms. This study proposes a green and efficient technique for the removal of phenol.

Abstract
Impairment of cardiac lymphatic vessels leads to cardiac lymphedema. Recent studies have suggested that stimulation of lymphangiogenesis may reduce cardiac lymphedema. However, effects of lymphatic endothelial progenitor cells (LEPCs) on cardiac lymphangiogenesis are poorly understood. Therefore, this study investigated effectiveness of LEPC transplantation and VEGF-C release with self-assembling peptide (SAP) on cardiac lymphangiogenesis after myocardial infarction (MI). CD34+VEGFR-3+ EPCs isolated from rat bone marrow differentiated into lymphatic endothelial cells after VEGF-C induction. VEGF-C also stimulated the cells to incorporate into the lymphatic capillary-like structures. The functionalized SAP could adhere with the cells and released VEGF-C sustainedly. In the condition of hypoxia and serum deprivation or abdominal pouch assay,
the SAP hydrogel protected the cells from apoptosis and necrosis. At 4 weeks after intramyocardial transplantation of the cells and VEGF-C loaded with SAP hydrogel in rat MI models, cardiac lymphangiogenesis was increased, cardiac edema and reverse remodeling were reduced, and cardiac function was improved significantly. Delivery with SAP hydrogel favored survival of the engrafted cells. VEGF-C released from the hydrogel promoted differentiation and incorporation of the cells as well as growth of pre-existed lymphatic vessels. Cardiac lymphangiogenesis was beneficial for elimination of the inflammatory cells in the infarcted myocardium. Moreover, angiogenesis and myocardial regeneration were enhanced after reduction of lymphedema. These results demonstrate that the combined delivery of LEPCs and VEGF-C with the functionalized SAP promotes cardiac lymphangiogenesis and repair of the infarcted myocardium effectively. This study represents a novel therapy for relieving myocardial edema in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Monocrystalline silicon is an important semiconductor material and occupies a large part of the market demand. However, as a hard-brittle material, monocrystalline silicon is extremely prone to happen edge chipping during sawing processing. The edge chipping seriously affects the quality and performance of silicon wafers. In this paper, both conventional and ultrasonicassisted sawing tests were carried out on monocrystalline silicon to study the formation mechanism of edge chipping. The shape and size of edge chipping after sawing process were observed and measured. The experimental results demonstrated that different sawing processes present different material removal modes and edge quality. The mode of crack propagation was continuous cracks in conventional sawing process, while the expansion mode in ultrasonic assisted sawing was blasting microcracks. This results in the cutting force of ultrasonic assisted sawing becomes much smaller than that of conventional sawing process, which can reduce the size of edge chipping and improve the quality of machined surface.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease among the elderly, which has been linked to cognitive decline. However, the relationship between COPD and dementia remains unclear. Summary We conducted a systematic literature review by searching databases such as Pubmed, Embase, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library (from inception to April 18, 2018) for studies on COPD that also investigated the prevalence of dementia. We found 3 cohort studies including a total of 39,392 COPD patients. Then we applied the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale to evaluate the risk of bias. Key Messages COPD patients faced a higher risk of dementia (HR 1.46; 95% CI 1.22–1.75; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis on gender determined that the association between COPD and dementia was stronger in male patients (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.20–1.86, p < 0.001) than in female patients (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.27–1.57, p < 0.001). A subset study of patients aged >65 years revealed that the HR was greater for patients aged ≥75 years (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.07–2.00, p = 0.02) than for those aged 65–74 years (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.28–1.53, p < 0.001). The cohort studies included were from similar population-based databases, suggesting possible regional limitations and publication bias.

Abstract
This study is conducted to investigate the association between major depressive disorder and the subsequent development of Alzheimer disease (AD) in elderly patients with different health statuses using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).A retrospective cohort study was performed on subjects over 65 years old from 2002 to 2006 using a random sampling from the 1 million beneficiaries enrolled in the NHI. Patients who were diagnosed with major depressive disorder were selected as the case group. Subjects in the control group were selected from elderly patients who did not have depression during the study period by matching age, sex, and index date of depression with subjects in the case group using a ratio of 1:4 (case:control). Both groups of patients were checked annually over a period of 7 years to observe whether they subsequently developed AD.A total of 1776 subjects were included in the case group while 7104 subjects were in the control group. After the follow-up period, 59 patients (3.3%) with depression developed AD while 96 patients (1.4%) without depression developed AD. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the incidence rate of AD in both groups varied significantly depending on different health statuses (log-rank P < .001). Results of the generalized estimating equation model found that patients with depression (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.898; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.451-2.438), very severe health status (HR = 1.630; 95% CI = 1.220-2.177), or artery diseases (HR = 1.692; 95% CI = 1.108-2.584) were at a higher risk of developing AD than other groups.The association between major depressive disorder and the later development of AD varied depending on the health statuses of elderly patients. Clinicians should exercise caution when diagnosing and treating underlying diseases in elderly depressed patients, and then attempt to improve their health status to reduce the incidence rate of subsequent AD development.

Abstract
Background The association between induced abortion and birth control methods (including oral contraceptives and intrauterine devices) and breast cancer may vary among countries, due to the different usage and frequency of birth control methods and induced abortion among countries. A better understanding of this association may help in determining safer birth control methods for Chinese women. Methods A case-control study was conducted with a total of 794 cases and 805 controls. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect information on demographic characteristics, exposure to induced abortion, birth control methods, and other risk factors for breast cancer. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to explore the association between birth control methods and breast cancer. Results Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that having a history of medical abortions, ≥3 surgical abortions, or both medical and surgical abortions was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women (odds ratio [OR] 2.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14–5.40). Pre-menopausal women who had used intra-uterine devices (IUDs) for more than 20 years tended to have a lower breast cancer risk than other age-matched pre-menopausal women (OR 0.41; 95% CI, 0.25–0.68). Both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women who had <20 years exposure to IUDs and those who had used two or more birth control methods (with the exception of women who used IUDs for more than 20 years) tended to have much higher breast cancer risk. Conclusion The relationship between induced abortion and birth control methods and breast cancer was complex, though being exposed to induced abortion and two or more birth control methods in one’s lifetime appeared to be risk factors for breast cancer in Chinese women.

Abstract
The increasing environmental awareness and stricter regulations have prompted the developments of various treatment technologies for dye wastewater. Membrane separation receives extensive attention as a promising technology because of many advantages. However, higher removal performance requirements and membrane fouling issues make a single separation method inadequate for the removal of dyes from industrial wastewater. Exerting an electric field on membrane separation system for dye wastewater treatment has already been proposed and newly developed in recent years because each technology complements the advantages and overcomes the challenges of the other. Although the amount of literature in this field is limited, this integrated technology has exhibited good performance on dye removal and is believed to have a bright prospect. This review mapped out the previous studies and current trends as well as provided a prospective outlook for advances in various membrane-combining technologies with an electric field, especially with the electric advanced oxidation processes. The different combination patterns, performance evaluations, removal mechanisms, and treatment parameters are gathered and discussed.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng (PN) on microvascular injury in colitis, its mechanisms, initial administration time and dosage.
METHODS Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)- or iodoacetamide (IA)-induced rat colitis models were used to evaluate and investigate the effects of ethanol extract of PN on microvascular injuries and their related mechanisms. PN administration was initiated at 3 and 7 d after the model was established at doses of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg for 7 d. The severity of colitis was evaluated by disease activity index (DAI). The pathological lesions were observed under a microscope. Microvessel density (MVD) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Vascular permeability was evaluated using the Evans blue method. The serum concentrations of cytokines, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)A121, VEGFA165, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured to evaluate the level of oxidative stress. Expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α protein was detected by western blotting.
RESULTS Obvious colonic inflammation and injuries of mucosa and microvessels were observed in DSS- and IA-induced colitis groups. DAI scores, serum concentrations of VEGFA121, VEGFA165, VEGFA165/VEGFA121, IL-6 and TNF-α, and concentrations of MPO and HIF-1α in the colon were significantly higher while serum concentrations of IL-4 and IL-10 and MVD in colon were significantly lower in the colitis model groups than in the normal control group. PN promoted repair of injuries of colonic mucosa and microvessels, attenuated inflammation, and decreased DAI scores in rats with colitis. PN also decreased the serum concentrations of VEGFA121, VEGFA165, VEGFA165/VEGFA121, IL-6 and TNF-α, and concentrations of MPO and HIF-1α in the colon, and increased the serum concentrations of IL-4 and IL-10 as well as the concentration of SOD in the colon. The efficacy of PN was dosage dependent. In addition, DAI scores in the group administered PN on day 3 were significantly lower than in the group administered PN on day 7.
CONCLUSION PN repairs vascular injury in experimental colitis via attenuating inflammation and oxidative stress in the colonic mucosa. Efficacy is related to initial administration time and dose.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore the association between the polymorphism of persistent obesity and genetic variations in the LEP (human leptin gene, LEP) and LEPR (leptin receptor gene, LEPR) genes and different molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Methods: All 703 female patients of breast cancer diagnosed by histopathology in the Sichuan Cancer Hospital or the West China Hospital, excluding patients with metastatic breast cancer or mental disease, were selected as cases from April 2014 to May 2015. At the same time, 805 healthy women received physical examination in medical examination center of Sichuan People Hospital or Shuangliu maternal and child health care hospital, excluding those with therioma, breast disease, and mental disease, were enrolled in control group. A uniform questionnaire was used to collect general information including demographic characteristic, reproductive history height, weight, and so on. And the obesity status in recent 10 years was judged. Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer was used to determine the genotypes of LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101, while the multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of risk factors related to breast cancer in different molecular subtypes; and then, the association between polymorphism of persistent obesity, the LEP, LEPR genes and breast cancer of different molecular subtypes was analyzed by binary logistic regression models. Results: The average age of controls was (48.98±8.83) years old, while the age of cases of TNBC, Luminal A, Luminal B, and HER-2+ were (51.43±11.33), (49.94±10.10), (49.73±9.38), (50.50±9.04) years old, respectively. The frequency of genotype LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101 in control group was separately 74.8%(1 157/1 546), 83.6%(1 339/1 602) and 88.4%(1 416/1 602); while 77.6% (1 074/1 384), 82.4% (1 155/1 402) and 87.9% (1 232/1 402) respectively in case group. Compared with non-persistent obesity subjects, the persistent obesity ones showed an increased risk in TNBC (OR=3.58, 95%CI: 1.90-6.72), Luminal A (OR=2.65, 95%CI: 1.35-5.21) and Luminal B (OR=1.90, 95%CI: 1.26-2.89) breast cancer. LEP rs7799039-AA was relevant with the upward risk of Luminal B independently (OR=1.30, 95%CI: 1.00-1.69). Besides, persistent obesity was found to have a combined effect on Luminal B (β=3.34, 95% CI: 1.00-11.12) with LEPR rs1137101-GG. Conclusion: Persistent obesity could increase the potential risk of TNBC, Luminal A and Luminal B breast cancer. Women who were suffered from persistent obesity with a genotype of LEPR rs1137101-GG were more susceptible to Luminal B breast cancer.

Abstract
Background The effects of body mass index (BMI) and reproductive factors may vary among breast cancer molecular subtypes, evidence of which is lacking in East Asia. Methods From 2002 to 2010, 1256 breast cancer patients and 1416 healthy women were recruited. Anthropometric and reproductive factors were collected from medical charts. Breast cancer subtype was defined by ER, PR, and HER2 status. Polytomous logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between risk factors and breast cancer subtypes, with subgroup analysis by menopausal status. A meta-analysis of relevant published studies in East Asia was also performed. Results In our case-control study, late menarche was negatively associated with luminal tumor risk (Ptrend = 0.03). Higher BMI was associated with risk of both luminal and triple-negative tumors (Ptrend<0.001). Late age at first live birth was associated with a 1.41- to 2.08-fold increased risk of all subtypes, while late menopause increased risk by 2.62–5.56 times. Heterogeneity of these associations was not detected for different menopausal statuses. The meta-analysis revealed a positive dose-response relationship between BMI and risk of both luminal and ER-PR- subtypes (Ptrend<0.05). Early menarche and nulliparity increased luminal tumor risk by 1.39 and 1.26 times, respectively. Non-breastfeeding also increased the risk of all subtypes. Conclusions For East Asian women, overweight, late menopause, and lack of breastfeeding appear to increase risk of both luminal and ER−PR− tumors. Early menarche and nulliparity mainly impacted luminal tumor risk. These associations were not impacted by menopausal status. For East Asian women, overweight increases risk of both luminal and ER-PR- tumors. For East Asian women, early menarche increases luminal tumor risk. For East Asian women, nulliparity increases luminal tumor risk.

Abstract
Brassinosteroids (BR) play important roles in plant growth and development. Although BR receptors have been intensively studied in Arabidopsis, the BR receptors in soybean remain largely unknown. Here, in addition to the known receptor gene Glyma06g15270 (GmBRI1a), we identified five putative BR receptor genes in the soybean genome: GmBRI1b, GmBRL1a, GmBRL1b, GmBRL2a, and GmBRL2b. Analysis of their expression patterns by quantitative real-time PCR showed that they are ubiquitously expressed in primary roots, lateral roots, stems, leaves, and hypocotyls. We used rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) to clone GmBRI1b (Glyma04g39160), and found that the predicted amino acid sequence of GmBRI1b showed high similarity to those of AtBRI1 and pea PsBRI1. Structural modeling of the ectodomain also demonstrated similarities between the BR receptors of soybean and Arabidopsis. GFP-fusion experiments verified that GmBRI1b localizes to the cell membrane. We also explored GmBRI1b function in Arabidopsis through complementation experiments. Ectopic over-expression of GmBRI1b in Arabidopsis BR receptor loss-of-function mutant (bri1-5 bak1-1D) restored hypocotyl growth in etiolated seedlings; increased the growth of stems, leaves, and siliques in light; and rescued the developmental defects in leaves of the bri1-6 mutant, and complemented the responses of BR biosynthesis-related genes in the bri1-5 bak1-D mutant grown in light. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that the six BR receptor genes in soybean resulted from three gene duplication events during evolution. Phylogenetic analysis classified the BR receptors in dicots and monocots into three subclades. Estimation of the synonymous (Ks) and the nonsynonymous substitution rate (Ka) and selection pressure (Ka/Ks) revealed that the Ka/Ks of BR receptor genes from dicots and monocots were less than 1.0, indicating that BR receptor genes in plants experienced purifying selection during evolution.

Abstract
Trophic transfer of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in aquatic ecosystems is an important criterion for assessing their environmental risk. This study analyzed 13 PBDEs in marine organisms collected from coastal area of Bohai Bay, China. The concentrations of total PBDEs (Σ13PBDEs) ranged from 12 ± 1.1 ng/g wet weight (ww) to 230 ± 54 ng/g ww depending on species. BDE-47 was the predominant compound, with a mean abundance of 20.21 ± 12.97% of total PBDEs. Stable isotopic ratios of carbon (δ(13)C) and nitrogen (δ(15)N) were analyzed to determine the food web structure and trophic level respectively. Trophic magnification factors (TMFs) of PBDEs were assessed as the slope of lipid equivalent concentrations regressed against trophic levels. Significant positive relationships were found for Σ13PBDEs and eight PBDE congeners (BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-49, BDE-66, BDE-85, BDE-99, BDE-100 and BDE-154). Monte-Carlo simulations showed that the probabilities of TMF >1 were 100% for Σ13PBDEs, BDE-47, BDE-85, BDE-99 and BDE-100, 99% for DE-28, BDE-49, BDE-66 and BDE-154, 94% for BDE-153, and 35% for BDE-17.
