Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies on physical activity (PA) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) were largely limited to self-reported PA in athletes, soldiers, and women in postpartum. We aimed to investigate the association of accelerometer-measured PA and sedentary behavior with the risk of POP in middle-aged and elderly women. METHODS In this prospective cohort derived from the UK Biobank, the intensity and duration of PA and sedentary behavior were measured with wrist-worn accelerometers over a 7-day period in 2013-2015 for 47,674 participants (aged 42.8-77.9 years) without pre-existing POP. Participants were followed up until the end of 2022, during which incident POP was ascertained mainly by the electronic health records. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic splines were used to assess the associations of interest. Isotemporal substitution models were applied to test the effects of substituting a type of activity with equivalent duration of others. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 8.0 years, 779 cases of POP were recorded. The duration of light-intensity PA (LPA) was positively whereas sedentary time was negatively associated with the risk of POP. Every additional 1 h/day of LPA elevated the risk of POP by 18% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10%-26%). In contrast, the risk decreased by 5% (95% CI, 0-8%) per 1 h/day increment in sedentary behavior. No associations were found between moderate-intensity PA (MPA) or vigorous-intensity PA (VPA) and POP, except that women who had a history of hysterectomy were more likely to develop POP when performing more VPA (53% higher risk for every additional 15 min/day). Substituting 1 h/day of LPA with equivalent sedentary time was associated with a 18% (95% CI, 11%-24%) lower risk of POP. The risk can also be reduced by 17% (95% CI, 7%-25%) through substituting 30 min/day of LPA with MPA. CONCLUSIONS More time spent in LPA or less sedentary time was linked to an elevated risk of POP in middle-aged and elderly women, while MPA or VPA was not. Substituting LPA with equivalent duration of sedentary behavior or MPA may lower the risk of POP.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a prospect of membranes that combine negligible gas permeability with high proton conductivity and could outperform the existing proton exchange membranes used in various applications including fuel cells. Graphene oxide (GO), a well-known 2D material, facilitates rapid proton transport along its basal plane but proton conductivity across it remains unknown. It is also often presumed that individual GO monolayers contain a large density of nanoscale pinholes that lead to considerable gas leakage across the GO basal plane. Here we show that relatively large, micrometer-scale areas of monolayer GO are impermeable to gases, including helium, while exhibiting proton conductivity through the basal plane which is nearly two orders of magnitude higher than that of graphene. These findings provide insights into the key properties of GO and demonstrate that chemical functionalization of 2D crystals can be utilized to enhance their proton transparency without compromising gas impermeability.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical benefits of laparoscopic pectopexy vs laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING A tertiary hospital. PATIENTS We included 203 patients with POP. INTERVENTIONS Laparoscopic pectopexy or laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Anatomic effectiveness was measured using the POP Quantification system, both before and after operation. Functional recovery effectiveness was evaluated using complications and recurrence rates within 1 year. Quality of life was assessed by the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and Incontinence Quality of Life questionnaires at enrollment and postoperative months 3, 6, and 12. Comparisons between groups were performed using t test, chi-square test, and mixed-effects model with repeated measures. The analysis included 203 eligible patients (sacrocolpopexy, 101; pectopexy, 102). The proportion of robotic-assisted surgeries was lower in the pectopexy group than in the sacrocolpopexy group (15.7% vs 41.6%, p <.001). The average operation time of pectopexy was shorter than that of sacrocolpopexy (174.2 vs 187.7 minutes) with a mean difference of 13.5 minutes (95% confidence interval, 3.9-23.0; p = .006). Differences of intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, and postoperative 7-day complications between groups were not significant. Anatomic successes were obtained in both groups with similar improvement in POP Quantification scores. The rate of urinary symptoms recurrence was higher in the pectopexy group (13.7%) than in the sacrocolpopexy group (5.0%) at the 1-year follow-up (odds ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-8.8, p = .032). The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and Incontinence Quality of Life scores were better improved at postoperative months 3, 6, and 12 for laparoscopic pectopexy than for sacrocolpopexy. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic pectopexy revealed comparable anatomic success, shorter operation time, and better improvement in quality of life scores of prolapse, colorectal-anal, and urinary symptoms at 1-year follow-up, possibly being an alternative when sacrocolpopexy is not practicable. However, clinicians should pay more attention to the recurrence of urinary symptoms after pectopexy.

Abstract
Electric burn is a kind of three-dimensional destructive damage. It is necessary to attach great importance to the functional reconstruction and rehabilitation of patients with destructive electric burns. Wound repair and limb salvage are not the end of the treatment of destructive electric burns, but functional rehabilitation and reintegration into society of patients are the goals of treatment. This paper systematically discusses the early wound repair, late functional reconstruction and rehabilitation, limb salvage and amputation, minimized damage of donor area, psychological rehabilitation, and multi-disciplinary cooperation of destructive electric burns. Only by attaching great importance to the functional reconstruction and rehabilitation, and embedding these concepts in people's brains, perfect repair and rehabilitation of destructive electric burns can be realized.

Abstract
The metabolism and remodeling of alveolar bone are the most active among the whole skeletal system, which is related to the biological characteristics and heterogeneity of the bone mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). However, there is a lack of systematic description of the heterogeneity of MSC-derived osteoblastic lineage cells as well as their distinct osteogenic differentiation trajectory of alveolar bone. In this study, we constructed a single-cell atlas of the mouse alveolar bone cells through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Remarkably, by comparing the cell compositions between the alveolar bone and long bone, we uncovered a previously undescribed cell population that exhibits a high expression of protocadherin Fat4 (Fat4+ cells) and is specifically enriched around alveolar bone marrow cavities. ScRNA-seq analysis indicated that Fat4+ cells may initiate a distinct osteogenic differentiation trajectory in the alveolar bone. By isolating and cultivating Fat4+ cells in vitro, we demonstrated that they possess colony-forming, osteogenic, and adipogenic capabilities. Moreover, FAT4 knockdown could significantly inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of alveolar bone MSCs. Furthermore, we revealed that the Fat4+ cells exhibit a core transcriptional signature consisting of several key transcription factors, such as SOX6, which are involved in osteogenesis, and further demonstrated that SOX6 is required for the efficient osteogenic differentiation of the Fat4+ cells. Collectively, our high-resolution single-cell atlas of the alveolar bone reveals a distinct osteogenic progenitor that may contribute to the unique physiological characteristics of alveolar bone.

Abstract
Retinoid signaling disorders cause craniofacial deformity, among which infants with maternal vitamin A deficiency (VAD) exhibited malformation of the eye, nose, palate, and parietal and jaw bone. Previous research uncovered the pathogenesis of eye defect and cleft palate of VAD in mice, but the studies on craniofacial skeletal deformity met obstacles, and the cell/lineage and underlying mechanism remain unclear. The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) is the key transcription factor in retinoid signaling, but individual knockout cannot simulate pathway inhibition. Here, we conditionally expressed dominant-negative RARα mutation (dnRARα) in osteoblasts to specifically inhibit the transcription activity of RAR in mice, which mimics the craniofacial deformities caused by VAD in clinical cases: hypomineralization of cranial bones, mandibular deformity, and clavicular hypoplasia. Furthermore, we performed 3-dimensional reconstruction based on micro-computed tomography and confirmed the abnormalities in the shape, size, and ossification of craniofacial bones due to osteoblastic RAR inhibition. Histological analysis indicated that inhibition of RAR in osteoblasts impaired both bone formation and bone resorption, which was confirmed by transcriptome sequencing of the calvaria. Furthermore, mechanism investigation showed that inhibition of RAR in osteoblasts directly decreased osteoblast differentiation in a cell-autonomous manner by impairing osteogenic gene transcription and also inhibited osteoclast differentiation via osteoblast-osteoclast crosstalk by impairing Rankl transcription. In summary, osteoblastic RAR activity is critical to craniofacial skeletal development, and its dysfunction leads to skeletal deformities mimicking VAD craniofacial defects, providing a new insight for VAD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Background Thirty-four percent of Multiple Myeloma (MM) clinical trial participants at Winship Cancer Institute (Winship) are African American (AA); however, AAs make up only 4.5 percent of myeloma clinical trial participants in the United States. Given our high enrollment, we aimed to measure AAs' trust in providers and identify if clinical trial enrollment barriers exist. Methodology A member of the ethics research team surveyed AA patients who had consented to a MM clinical trial at Winship. Three validated surveys were used: Trust in Medical Research (TMR); Human Connection (THC) which measures how much patients feel they are heard and valued by their physicians; and the Duke Intrinsic Religiosity Scale (DUREL) which measures strength of religious engagement and belief. The survey also included questions about the impact of side effects, distance to the trial center and trial related costs on the decision to participate in clinical trial. Results Ninety-two percent (61/67) of patients approached consented. The mean TMR score and the mean THC score were significantly higher (P-value < 0.001) than the results obtained in key national surveys (TMR 14.9 compared to 11.65; THC 57.7 compared to 54.6). These two surveys were significantly correlated, meaning trust and human connection increase or decrease in tandem. The 3 religiosity subscale results showed high religiosity (3.84, 4.36, and 4.35 with 5 being the highest score). The mean scores of the importance of the investigational agent's side effects, trial costs, and distance to trial center on the decision to enroll in a clinical trial were also high (8.5, 7.8, and 6.5, respectively, with 10 being the most important). Conclusion In our study population, high trust and human connection overcame other trial participation barriers: strong religious beliefs and concerns about side effects, costs, and travel distance. We present a roadmap to guide investigators to increase human connection, and hopefully trust.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postradiation skull base osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a severe complication that occurs after radiotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) that can severely affect quality of life (QOL) and be life threatening. Only 13.4% - 28.6% of patients can be cured by traditional repeated endoscopic debridement. Here, we introduced salvage endoscopic surgery for skull base ORN patients and evaluated its clinical efficacy. METHODS This was a prospective, observational, single-arm clinical study. Clinical data from 18 skull base ORN patients who underwent radical endoscopic necrectomy followed by reconstruction using a septal pedicled mucosal flap or temporal muscle flap were included in the study. The endpoint was an overall survival (OS) of 2 years. The numeric rating scale (NRS) scores for pain and foul odor were analyzed to determine the efficacy and safety of this surgery. RESULTS A total of 21 patients were recruited, 18 of whom completed the study and were analyzed. All surgeries were successfully performed. During the 2-year study, the OS rate of the entire cohort was 75%. The median NRS score for pain decreased from 6.44 +- 2.62 to 0.50 +- 0.71, and the NRS score for foul odor decreased from 1.89±1.08 to 1 after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Salvage endoscopic necrectomy followed by construction using a septal pedicled mucosal flap or temporal muscle flap is a novel, safe, and effective treatment for ORN in patients with NPC. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was approved by the independent ethics committee of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University (IEC No. 2019095-1). Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. The study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial registry (ChiCTR2000029327).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) can rapidly cross the blood-brain barrier and provide an alternative energy source for the brain. This study aims to determine 1) whether plasma caprylic acid (C8:0) is associated with risk of incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among baseline cognitively normal (CN) participants, and incident Alzheimer's Disease (AD) among baseline MCI participants; and 2) whether these associations differ by sex, comorbidity of cardiometabolic diseases, apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 alleles, and ADAS-Cog 13. METHODS Within the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort, plasma C8:0 was measured at baseline in 618 AD-free participants aged 55 to 91. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs with incident MCI and AD as dependent variables, separately. RESULTS The inverse association between circulating C8:0 and risk of incident MCI was of borderline significance. The inverse association between circulating levels of C8:0 and risk of incident MCI was significant among CN participants with ≥1 cardiometabolic diseases [OR (95% CI): 0.75 (0.58-0.98) (P=0.03)], those with one copy of APOE ε4 alleles [OR (95% CI): 0.43 (0.21-0.89) (P=0.02)], female [OR (95% CI): 0.60 (0.38-0.94) (P=0.02)], and ADAS-Cog 13 above the median [OR (95%CI): 0.69 (0.50-0.97)(P=0.03)] after adjusting for all covariates. CONCLUSION The inverse associations were present only among subgroups of CN participants, including female individuals, those with one or more cardiometabolic diseases, or one APOE ε4 allele, or higher ADAS-Cog 13 scores. If confirmed, this finding will facilitate precision prevention of MCI, in turn, AD among CN older adults.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease with cardiac involvement reported in 20–27% of patients [1]. Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can lead to atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, various conduction system disorders, heart failure or sudden cardiac death, depending on the location of myocardial involvement [2]. Previous studies have investigated the possible types of CS based on the distribution of myocardial involvement on imaging as well as the role of genetic factors [3,4]. However, there are no studies describing the clinical heterogeneity of CS patients.
Purpose
In order to determine if clinical clusters exist in CS, we carried out a latent class analysis (LCA) to explore potential phenotypes in a large sample of CS patients from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS).
Methods
We identified 848 patients with a diagnosis of CS from the NIS in 2016–2018. A LCA was performed based on comorbidities. Utilizing the Bayesian information criterion and Akaike's information criterion we divided our study population into 3 cohorts. We subsequently applied the LCA model for our study population to fit each patient into one of the 3 cohorts. Finally, we compared the clinical outcomes among the 3 groups.
Results
Following LCA, patients in cohort 3 were strongly associated with a cardiometabolic syndrome profile with the highest prevalence of congestive heart failure (CHF, 95.1%), chronic kidney disease (CKD, 69.7%), diabetes mellitus (68.9%), hyperlipidemia (52.5%) and obesity (45.1%). Patients in cohort 2 had an intermediate prevalence of cardiometabolic syndrome with a universal diagnosis of hypertension (100%) but with the lowest number of CHF (32.5%) patients and none with CKD. Finally, patients in cohort 1 had the least comorbidities in comparison to the other groups but there was a higher prevalence of CHF (71.7%). There was no significant difference in mortality among the 3 groups, but acute respiratory failure was the highest in cohort 3. However, ventricular arrhythmias were more prevalent in cohort 1 patients (Table).
Conclusion
We identified 3 different types of CS based on their clinical phenotype. The clinical outcomes varied among the cohorts with ventricular arrhythmias being the most prevalent in patients with the least cardiometabolic comorbidities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the impact of smoking on the incidence of insomnia. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and OVID were searched through March 2020. Cohort studies reporting the effect of smoking on the incidence of insomnia were included. We quantitatively analyzed the basic framework and study characteristics and then pooled estimate effects with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of outcomes of each included study using fixed-effects meta-analyses. RESULTS This systematic review included six cohort studies involving 12,445 participants. Quantitatively summarized results suggested that smoking could significantly increase the incidence of insomnia (odds ratio [OR]: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.13). Regular smoking was significantly associated with the incidence of insomnia (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.13). As for occasional smokers and ex-smokers, the pooled analysis did not indicate a significant association (occasional smoker: OR = 2.09, 95% CI: 0.44, 9.95; ex-smoker; OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.67, 1.54). Subgroup analysis by age, gender ratio, and region showed a statistically significant relationship between smoking and the incidence of insomnia in specific groups. CONCLUSIONS Integrated longitudinal observational evidence identified smoking as a significant risk factor of insomnia. Considering the limited amount of available studies, more high-quality and prospective cohort studies of large sample sizes are needed to explore details of this association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between the vaginal microenvironment and fecundability among women. DESIGN Register-based nationwide cohort study. SETTING Chinese National Free Pre-conception Check-up Project from 2015 to 2018. POPULATION Our study included a total of 3 388 554 eligible women who were attempting to become pregnant. METHOD We assessed the vaginal microenvironment at baseline by considering four indices: vaginal pH, clue cell examination, whiff test and vaginal cleanliness grading. If any of these indicators was abnormal, the vaginal microenvironment was defined as poor. Propensity score matching was used to control for potential confounders and reduce bias. Logistic models were used to estimate the fecundability odds ratios (FORs) after adjustment for covariates. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Achievement of a pregnancy within 1 year. RESULTS Of the total study population, 379 718 women (11.2%) had a poor vaginal microenvironment and their pregnancy rate after 1 year was significantly lower than the group with a normal microenvironment (71.8% versus 76.1%, P < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, the women with a poor vaginal microenvironment were associated with a 9% reduction in fecundability compared with the normal microenvironment group (FOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.90-0.92). The adverse effects of a poor vaginal microenvironment were stronger among multipara (FOR 0.89, 95% CI 0.87-0.90) or women with irregular menstruation (FOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.84-0.89). CONCLUSION There was a negative association between a poor vaginal microenvironment and the fecundability of women. These findings highlight the significance of assessing the vaginal microenvironment during pre-pregnancy health examinations. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Women with a poor vaginal microenvironment were associated with a reduction in fecundability.

Abstract
The high prevalence of malocclusion and dentofacial malformations means that the demand for orthodontic treatments has been increasing rapidly. As the biological basis of orthodontic treatment, the mechanism of mechanical force-induced alveolar bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) has become the key scientific issue of orthodontics. It has been demonstrated that bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are crucial for bone remodeling and exhibit mechanical sensing properties. Mechanical force can promote osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs and osteogenesis, but the key factor that mediates mechanical force-induced osteogenesis during OTM remains unclear. In this study, by performing reverse-phase protein arrays on BMSCs exposed to mechanical force, we found that the expression level of forkhead box O3 (FOXO3) was significantly upregulated during the mechanical force-induced osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs. The number of FOXO3-positive cells was consistently higher on the OTM side as compared with the control side and accompanied by the enhancement of osteogenesis. Remarkably, inhibiting FOXO3 with repaglinide delayed OTM by severely impairing mechanical force-induced bone formation in vivo. Moreover, knockdown of FOXO3 effectively inhibited the mechanical force-induced osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs, whereas the overexpression of FOXO3 enhanced this effect. Mechanistically, we revealed a novel regulatory model in which FOXO3 promoted osteocalcin transcription by activating its promoter in cooperation with runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). We collectively obtained the first evidence that FOXO3 is critical for OTM, where it responds to mechanical force and directly regulates downstream osteoblastic differentiation in an efficient manner.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the frequently occurring malignancies, but effective treatments are lacking. It is believed that exploring new molecular targets could help us to improve the treatment of OSCC. Therefore, we hope to find a new miRNA target to control OSCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS qPCR and Western blots were used to test the expressions of miR-802 and target gene in OSCC tissues and cell lines. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to check whether miR-802 could directly target MET. CCK-8, wound healing, cell invasion, colony formation, and tumor growth assays were used to determine the functions of miR-802 and MET in the malignant biological behavior of OSCC. RESULTS The results suggested that miR-802 was low expressed in OSCC tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-802 inhibited the cell viability, colony formation, migration and invasion of Tca8113 and SCC9 cells, and tumor growth in vivo. It was predicted that miR-802 might target the mRNA of proto-oncogene MET. Overexpressing miR-802 suppressed the expression of wild-type MET at both protein and mRNA levels in Tca8113 and SCC9 cells. Moreover, the expression of MET was high and significantly correlated with the low expression of miR-802 in OSCC tissues. Overexpression of MET in Tca8113 and SCC9 cells reduced the tumor-suppressive effects, which was induced by miR-802 overexpression. CONCLUSIONS MiR-802 suppresses the malignant biological behavior of OSCC by targeting proto-oncogene MET. This work provides a new potential molecular target for treating OSCC.

Abstract
Background: Drug resistance of cancer cells is one of the major causes of chemotherapy failure. Recently research demonstrated that long non-coding RNA Urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1) could promote tumor cisplatin resistance. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of UCA1 in the cisplatin treatment of gastric cancer and its underlying mechanism. Methods: Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and apoptosis assay were used to detect the effects of different doses of cisplatin on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer. We examined the expression relationship between the Enhancer of Zeste Homologue 2 (EZH2) and UCA1 by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis. Western blot analysis was also performed to detect the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins, EZH2 and key genes in PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, RIP and RNA pull down assays were performed to explore the interaction between UCA1 and EZH2. Results: We demonstrated that higher the UCA1 expression levels in GC tissues correlated with the poorer the prognosis of patients according to the TCGA database, the GEO database. Moreover, overexpression of UCA1 promotes GC cell proliferation and inhibits cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Knockdown of UCA1 showed the opposite results. Besides, UCA1 exerted its function through interacting with EZH2 and regulates EZH2 expression, knockdown of EZH2 decreased cisplatin resistance of GC cells. Hence, UCA1 promotes cisplatin resistance of GC via recruiting EZH2 and activating PI3K/AKT pathway. Conclusion: Our research revealed the lncRNA UCA1 promoted the cisplatin resistance of GC by recruiting EZH2 and activating PI3K/AKT pathway to modulate cell apoptosis, indicating treatments targeting UCA1 or EZH2 might provide meaningful therapeutic strategies for cisplatin-resistance GC patients.

Abstract
Background Many studies showed that long non-coding RNA MALAT1 is served as an oncogene. However, the specific role of MALAT1 in gastric cancer is not fully elucidated. The aim of this study is to elucidate the regulatory effects of MALAT1 on tumor development and cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer. Methods TCGA database was applied to investigate the expression levels of MALAT1 in GC tissues and normal gastric tissues and its correlation with GC patients’ survival. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to investigate whether MALAT1 expression is an independent risk for overall survival of gastric cancer patients. The expression of MALAT1 was detected by Quantitative real-time PCR. After knockdown or overexpression of MALAT1, the cellular functions of GC cells were detected by cell-proliferation, flow cytometry, transwell assay and colony formation assays, respectively. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein levels of Bcl-2 and key genes in the PI3K/AKT pathway in GC cells. Finally, CCK-8 assay was performed to explore the effect of MALAT1 on cisplatin resistance of GC cells. Results Higher expression of MALAT1 was detected in GC tissues than that of adjacent normal tissues, high MALAT1 expression is an independent risk for overall survival of gastric cancer patients. Knockdown of MALAT1 inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of GC cells, while overexpression of MALAT1 Overexpression of MALAT1 yielded opposite results. Western blot results showed that protein expressions of p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-STAT3 were downregulated after MALAT1 knockdown in GC cells, while these proteins were upregulated after MALAT1 overexpression. Additionally, the IC50 in MGC803/CDDP cells transfected with si-MALAT1 was lower than in those transfected with si-NC. The apoptotic rate in MGC803 cells transfected with pcDNA-MALAT1 was remarkably lower than those transfected with NC. Conclusion We demonstrated that MALAT1 is highly expressed in GC, high MALAT1 expression is an independent risk factor for OS among GC patients. Moreover, MALAT1 promotes malignant progression of GC and contributes to cisplatin resistance of GC cells, indicating MALAT1 may serve as a biological hallmark for predicting the prognosis of GC.

Abstract
Background: Fluorouracil-based chemotherapy is recommended by the main clinical guidelines for post-operative gastric cancer (GC) patient's chemotherapy treatment, this study aim to establish relate model to predict patients' susceptibility to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy to prevent patients' unnecessary exposure to chemotherapy treatments and improve patients' treatment. Methods: Data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) database, Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal (CTRP) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used. A predictive model was built based on univariate and multivariate Cox analysis and visualized by nomogram. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank test. Results: A total of 514 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between fluorouracil-resistant cell lines and fluorouracil-sensitive cell lines based on CCLE database. A total of 300 patients who had radical gastrectomy were recruited, of which 144 received fluorouracil-based chemotherapy and 156 were untreated. Three biomarkers (CTF1, BTN3A3, ADAD2) were finally selected by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to establish the predictive models visualized by nomogram. This model could precisely predict both the Disease free survival (DFS) and Overall survival (OS) of patients treated with fluorouracil-based chemotherapy after surgery compared to untreated GC patients validated by both GEO database and TCGA database. Conclusion: Our data established three genes-based predictive model which might predict GC patients' susceptibility to fluorouracil and help clinicians develop personalized treatment.

Abstract
Lack of guidelines for personalized chemotherapy treatment after surgery has caused gastric cancer (GC) patients' unnecessary exposure to toxicity and the financial burden of chemotherapy treatments. In our study, we aimed to identify potential biomarkers to predict GC patients' susceptibility to platinum-based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data sets. A total of 603 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between platinum-resistant cell lines and platinum-sensitive cell lines based on the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) data sets. A total of 253 patients who had accepted radical gastrectomy were recruited, of which 97 received platinum-based chemotherapy and 156 were untreated. Three biomarkers (BRMS1, ND6, SRXN1) were then selected by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to establish the predictive models using nomogram. Then this model was further validated through the GEO data set (GSE62254) which showed that this model could precisely predict the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy after surgery compared with untreated GC patients (P < 0.0001). This predictive model might provide helpful messages about the patients' susceptibility to platinum to guide personalized chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer (GC) has a clear predilection for metastasis toward omentum which is primarily composed of adipose tissue, combine with our previous research that long non-coding RNA Urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1) could promote the peritoneal metastasis of GC, we put forward the hypothesis that fatty acids (FAs) might contribute to these phenomena and a connection between FAs and UCA1 might exist. Methods TCGA database was applied to investigate the expression levels of UCA1 in GC tissues and normal gastric tissues and its correlation with GC patients’ survival. Transfection of siRNA was utilized to knockdown cellular levels of FA-binding protein 5 (FABP5), SP1, UCA1. Migration assay and invasion assay were performed to assess the biological effects of palmitate acid (PA), FABP5, SP1 and UCA1 on GC metastasis. The underlying mechanism was investigated via western blot, immunofluorescence (IF), semi-quantitative RT-PCR (sqRT-PCR) and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. Results Here we demonstrated that PA could promote the nuclear transport of FABP5, which then increased the nuclear protein levels of SP1. Consequently, GC cellular expression levels of UCA1 were increased which promoted the metastatic properties of GC. Besides, the cellular levels of UCA1 in GC tumor tissues were significantly higher than that in normal tissues. Its levels in GC tumor tissues also negatively correlated with the prognosis of GC patients using TCGA database. Conclusions Our research revealed the potential tumor-promoting effect of FA transport protein FABP5. We also established a connection between non-coding RNA and FA metabolism, treatment targeted either to patients’ diets or FABP5 might improve the prognosis of GC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) has a clear predilection for metastasis toward the omentum which is primarily composed of adipose tissue, indicating that fatty acids may contribute to this phenomenon. However their function remains poorly understood in GC. In this study, we investigated the role of palmitate acid (PA) and its cellular receptor CD36 in the progression of GC. METHODS Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed to detect CD36 expression in GC tissues and its clinical significance was determined statistically. CD36 over-expression and knock-down expression cell models were developed and tested in vitro. Wound-healing assays, migration assays, and invasion assays were performed and peritoneal implants into nude mice were done to assess the biological effects of PA and CD36. The underlying mechanisms were investigated using western blot, immunofluorescence (IF), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and antibody blocking assays. RESULTS PA promoted the metastasis of GC by phosphorylation of AKT, which facilitated the nuclear localization of β-catenin through inactivation of GSK-3β via phosphorylation. This tumor-promoting effect of PA was mediated by CD36, a cell surface receptor of fatty acids (FAs). The higher the CD36 expression levels in GC tissues correlated with the poorer the prognosis of patients according to the TCGA database, the GEO database and our own clinical data. CONCLUSIONS Our experiments established CD36 as a key mediator of FA-induced metastasis of GC via the AKT/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway. CD36 might, therefore, constitute a potential therapeutic target for clinical intervention in GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a world-wide health problem, which leads to decreased bone strength and increased susceptibility to fractures. Puerarin, a phytoestrogen extracted from Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi, has been identified as a promising intervention for preventing bone loss and promoting bone regeneration. However, the underlying mechanisms for its anabolic action are still not clear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of puerarin on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and the possible molecular mechanism mediating its action. METHODS Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and intragastric administration on ovariectomized(OVX) rats were used to study the anti-osteoporotic function of puerarin. The involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways was determined. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that at optimal concentration, puerarin could promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. This induction was mediated by MAPK signaling pathway. Further detailed study revealed that ERK1/2-Runx2 signaling pathway had more prominent effect than p38 signaling pathway in puerarin-induced differentiation of BMSCs toward the osteogenic phenotype. We also found that puerarin protected against reduction in bone mineral density and improved femur trabecular bone structure in ovariectomized rats. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed the functional mechanism of puerarin in promoting osteogenic differentiation which involved ERK1/2 and p38-MAPK pathway and provided experimental evidence for the potential application of puerarin for estrogen replacement therapy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous study demonstrated that Myosin Phosphatase Targeting subunit 1 (MYPT1) may function as a direct target of microRNA-30d, which promotes tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth of prostate cancer (PCa). Here, we aimed to investigate the clinical significance of MYPT1 expression and its functions in PCa. METHODS Roles of MYPT1 deregulation in tumor angiogenesis of PCa was determined in vitro and in vivo experiments. Expression patterns of MYPT1 and CD31 proteins were examined by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, respectively. Associations of MYPT1/CD31 combination with various clinicopathological features and patients' prognosis of PCa were also statistically evaluated. RESULTS Through gain- and loss-of-function experiments, MYPT1 inhibited capillary tube formation of endothelial cells and in vivo tumor angiogenesis in a mouse model with the downregulation of VEGF and CD31 expression. In addition, MYPT1 expression was significantly decreased, while CD31 expression was dramatically increased in PCa tissues compared to benign prostate tissues. Notably, MYPT1 expression levels in PCa tissues were negatively correlated with that of CD31. Statistically, MYPT1-low/CD31- high expression was distinctly associated with high Gleason score, positive biochemical recurrence, and reduced overall survival of PCa patients. Moreover, PCa patients with MYPT1-low/CD31-high expression more frequently had shorter overall, biochemical recurrence-free and metastasis-free survivals. MYPT1/CD31 combination was identified as an independent factor to predict biochemical recurrence-free and metastasis-free survivals of PCa patients. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that MYPT1 may inhibit angiogenesis and contribute favorable prognosis in PCa patients, implying that MYPT1 might be a potential drug candidate in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe difficulties in the clinical antidepressant treatment lead to the pursuing of more effective methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Mixed findings from DLPFC targeted TMS result in the exploration of optimal stimulation location. Disturbed function of obitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been indicated in depression, which is involving in the remission of depression. However, whether it could be a more specific treating target is not tested. Simultaneously, disturbed reward network (RN) has been confirmed in depression, however, whether this could be improved by TMS treatment remains unclear.MethodsFourteen patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) were allocated in a four-week course of OFC targeted TMS. Motivated by the literature, before and after the treatment, the function connectivity of RN with the seed of ventral striatum was conducted. The results were also compared with the data from 33 healthy controls.ResultsThe OFC targeted TMS improved the clinical depression significantly and enhanced the function connectivity within the RN effectively. Specifically, lower baseline dorsolateral striatum connectivity predicted strong therapeutic effect of TMS on depression, while lower baseline insula connectivity predicted weak therapeutic effect on depression.ConclusionsThe findings offer the first experimental evidence of the therapeutic effect of OFC targeted TMS on clinical depression, enhanced function connectivity within RN might be the potential neural mechanism (Fig. 1). Lower dorsolateral striatum connection might be a reliable neural biomarker of strong responding for TMS treatment, which helps to identify the patients who will be cured by TMS most effectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although alienation toward parents is important for children (for current mental health status or later interpersonal relationships in adulthood), it is undervalued and even lacks a standardized tool of assessment. Moreover, the large number of left-behind children in China is a cause of public concern. However, their experienced alienation toward their parents remains unclear, which may be important for early detection or intervention for behavioral problems in this population. Hence, the current study aimed to develop an alienation inventory for children and then use it to investigate the experienced alienation toward parents in Chinese left-behind children. METHODS Two studies were carried out. Study 1 was designed to develop a standard inventory of alienation toward parents (IAP). In study 2, 8361 children and adolescents (6704 of them were left-behind status) of the Chongqing area, aged between 8 and 19 years old, were recruited for investigation. All participants were surveyed with a standard sociodemographic questionnaire, children's cognitive style questionnaire, children's depression inventory, adolescent self-rating life events checklist, and newly built IAP in study 1. RESULTS In study 1, we developed a two-component (communication and emotional distance) and 18-item (9 items for maternal or paternal form, respectively) IAP questionnaire. In study 2, exploratory factor analysis indicated an expected two-factor structure of IAP, which was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients showed a good reliability (0.887 and 0.821 for maternal and paternal form, respectively). Children with absent mother experienced the highest alienation toward parents. Boys as well as children aged 8-10 years old experienced higher alienation toward parents. Poor communication with parents (sparse or no connection), level of left-behind condition (parents divorced, been far away from parents), and psychosocial vulnerability (stressful life events, negative cognitive style) were risk factors of alienation toward parents. CONCLUSIONS The current study develops a two-factor (communication and emotional distance) IAP, which offers a reliable tool to assess experienced alienation of affection toward parents in children aged between 8 and 19 years old. Our result is the first investigation of experienced alienation and potential influential factors in Chinese left-behind children. The findings that children with absent mother experience higher alienation toward parents, as well as three recognized risk factors for alienation of affection toward parents (poor communication with absent parents, worse left-behind condition, and psychosocial vulnerability), give valuable guidance for parents who intend to leave or who are already leaving as well as for government policymaking.

Abstract
Osteoporosis has become a world-wide health problem. As a promising intervention, mechanical strain is considered to be an important factor in bone remodeling. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not clarified clearly. In the present study, we aim to investigate the possible mechanism by which mechanical stimulation induces osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from ovariectomized rats (OVX BMSCs). The results demonstrated that intermittent mechanical strain (IMS) promoted osteogenic differentiation of OVX BMSCs by activating Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2). When the extracellular regulated kinase1/2-mitogen activated protein kinases (ERK1/2-MAPK) signaling pathway was blocked, the osteogenenic effects of IMS were diminished; while blocking of the p38-MAPK signaling pathway had little effect on subsequent osteogenic events. In addition, the phosphorylation level of JNK was not affected by IMS. Our results indicated that strain-induced osteogenic differentiation of OVX BMSCs may take effect via ERK1/2-MAPK not p38 or c-Jun N-terminal (JNK)-MAPK signaling pathway. These findings may have implications for physical treatment of osteoporosis in vitro.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) induced DNA damage, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis in mammalian cell lines. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are involved in physiological and developmental processes and contribute to cancer development and progression. In our study, high-throughput miRNA profiling and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis were applied to comparatively study the toxicity of OTA in HEK293 cells and HepG2 cells treated with 25 μM OTA for 24 h. In these two cells, the same changing miRNAs were mostly related to signal transduction pathways, whereas the different changing miRNAs were mostly related to human cancer pathways. DGCR8, Dicer1, and Drosha were significantly suppressed in HEK293 cells, indicating an impairment of miRNA biogenesis. The damage seemed more extensive in HEK293 cells. Cell models and in vivo models were also compared. Many miRNAs in vitro were markedly different from those in vivo; however, OTA toxicity was observed both in vitro and in vivo. The classification of deregulated pathways is similar. The biogenesis of miRNA was impaired in both lines. In conclusion, deregulated miRNAs in vitro are mostly related to human cancer and signal transduction pathways. The deregulated pathways in vivo are similar to those in vitro.

Abstract
Bone marrow cells (BMC) are progenitors of bone, cartilage, skeletal tissue, the hematopoiesis-supporting stroma and adipocyte cells. BMCs have the potential to differentiate into neural cells, cardiac myocytes, liver hepatocytes, chondrocytes, renal, corneal, blood, and myogenic cells. The bone marrow cell cultures from stromal and mesenchymal cells are called multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs). MAPCs can differentiate into mesenchymal cells, visceral mesoderm, neuroectoderm and endoderm in vitro. It has been shown that the stem cells derived from bone marrow cells (BMCs) can regenerate cardiac myocytes after myocardial infarction (MI). Adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to regenerate neural cells. Neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PC) are ideal for treating central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington disease. However, there are important ethical issues about the therapeutic use of stem cells. Neurons, cardiac myocytes, hepatocytes, renal cells, blood cells, chondrocytes and adipocytes regeneration from BMCs are very important in disease control. It is known that limbal epithelial stem cells in the cornea can repair the eye sight and remove symptoms of blindness. Stem cell therapy (SCT) is progressing well in animal models, but the use of SCT in human remains to be explored further.

Abstract
An ideal magnetic rail should provide a homogeneous magnetic field along the longitudinal direction to guarantee the reliable friction-free operation of high temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev vehicles. But in reality, magnetic field inhomogeneity may occur due to lots of reasons; the joint gap is the most direct one. Joint gaps inevitably exist between adjacent segments and influence the longitudinal magnetic field homogeneity above the rail since any magnetic rails are consisting of many permanent magnet segments. To improve the running performance of maglev systems, two new rail joints are proposed based on the normal rail joint, which are named as mitered rail joint and overlapped rail joint. It is found that the overlapped rail joint has a better effect to provide a competitive homogeneous magnetic field. And the further structure optimization has been done to ensure maglev vehicle operation as stable as possible when passing through those joint gaps. The results show that the overlapped rail joint with optimal parameters can significantly reduce the magnetic field inhomogeneity comparing with the other two rail joints. In addition, an appropriate gap was suggested when balancing the thermal expansion of magnets and homogenous magnetic field, which is considered valuable references for the future design of the magnetic rails.

Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is a widely used antimalarial drug isolated from the plant Artemisia annua. Recent studies suggested that DHA has antitumor effects utilizing its reactive oxygen species (ROS) yielding mechanism. Here, we reported that DHA is inhibitory on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced osteoclast (OC) differentiation, fusion and bone-resorption activity in vitro. Intracellular ROS detection revealed that DHA could remarkably increase ROS accumulation during LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, cell apoptosis was also increased by DHA treatment. We found that DHA-activated caspase-3 increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio during LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis. Meanwhile, the translocation of apoptotic inducing factor (AIF) and the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytosol were observed, indicating that ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction is crucial in DHA-induced apoptosis during LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis. In vivo study showed that DHA treatment decreased OC number, prevents bone loss, rescues bone microarchitecture and restores bone strength in LPS-induced bone-loss mouse model. Together, our findings indicate that DHA is protective against LPS-induced bone loss through apoptosis induction of osteoclasts via ROS accumulation and the mitochondria-dependent apoptosis pathway. Therefore, DHA may be considered as a new therapeutic candidate for treating inflammatory bone loss.

Abstract
Aims The treatment of late presenting fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in children remains controversial. Methods We report on the outcome for 16 children who presented with a fracture of the lateral humeral epicondyle at a mean of 7.4 weeks (3 to 15.6) after injury and were treated surgically. Results The mean follow-up was four years (1.1 to 8.9), at which time the mean age of the patients was 8.7 years (3.2 to 17.8). The mean Dhillon functional score improved from 3.3 to 5.6 and the mean overall scores improved from 5.6 to 8.5. A total of seven patients had a fishtail deformity and eight had partial lateral epiphyseal closure. None had avascular necrosis. MRI showed an abnormal cartilage signal, incongruence of the joint surface and partial premature closure of the lateral physis in four patients. Discussion Neither age at the time of injury, the time interval between injury and operation, nor the pre-operative function were correlated with the incidence of complications. These results support the use of internal fixation for children with a lateral humeral epicondylar fracture with a delayed presentation. Take home message: Open reduction and internal fixation yielded a satisfactory outcome within 16 weeks in children with a lateral humeral epicondylar fracture with a delayed presentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially the n3-series, may protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD), but recent randomized studies have failed to demonstrate these benefits. One of the prevailing hypotheses is that PUFA intake may not confer benefits beyond those provided by statins, but studies comparing statin users to non-users with regard to effects of PUFA are lacking. METHODS AND RESULTS Black and white men and women (n = 69,559) in the Southern Community Cohort Study were studied. Cox regression models adjusting for age, sex, race, BMI, recruitment site, education, income, smoking, diabetes, and dietary variables were used. RESULTS At baseline the mean ± SD age was 52 ± 9 years, 60% of participants were women, 54% had hypertension and 16% used statins. We observed modest inverse associations between n3-PUFA and n6-PUFA intake with mortality among non-statin users but not among statin users. In adjusted analyses, the HRs (95% CIs) for all-cause mortality (6,396 deaths over a median of 6.4 years) comparing the highest to the lowest quintile were 0.90 (0.82-1.00) for n3-PUFA and 0.80 (0.70-0.92) for n6-PUFA among non-statin users, whereas they were 1.06 (0.87-1.28) and 0.96 (0.78-1.19) for n3-PUFA and n6-PUFA, respectively, among statin users. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest potential benefits of PUFA consumption on mortality which are only apparent in the absence of statin therapy. It seems prudent to consider the potential benefit of PUFA consumption in the primary prevention of CVD among patients who are not candidates for statin therapy but are at increased risk for CVD and mortality.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA), which is found in a variety of food products, is associated with the development of nephrotoxicity and carcinogenicity in rats and has raised public health concerns. A previous study in our laboratory indicated that OTA exposure induced cytotoxicity by decreasing global DNA methylation in vitro. However, the relationship between OTA-induced nephrotoxicity and DNA methylation changes in vivo remains unclear. The object of this study was to investigate whether OTA can change global DNA methylation or alter the expression of several critical tumour-related genes by inducing methylation modifications before carcinogenesis. We focused on the mechanism of action of OTA in regard to DNA methylation, including the expression of DNA methyltransferases and the regulation of specific cell signalling pathways. Dynamic and dose-dependent changes of global DNA methylation were observed during OTA-induced nephrotoxicity and probably associated with the expression of DNA methyltransferase 1. 13-week exposure of OTA caused hypermethylation in the promoters of critical cell adhesion-related genes, E-cadherin and N-cadherin, leading to reduction of the corresponding mRNA expression, accompanied by transcriptional activation of the Wnt and PI3K/AKT pathways. These findings suggested that long-term OTA exposure could disrupt DNA methylation profile, which might be one of the possible mechanisms of OTA-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Lung cancer commonly metastasizes to lymph nodes, brain and bones, which is the main cause of death. It is still a challenge to detect molecular biomarkers for early diagnosis and therapeutics of lung cancer. Our previous study found that bone marrow-derived stroma cells (BMSCs) under tumor microenvironment produced nitric oxide (NO), which was induced by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and promoted invasion and metastasis of cancer cells by remodeling cytoskeleton. The aim of this study is to elucidate the relationship between the expressions of iNOS, cytoskeleton protein caldesmon, OPN, and clinical parameters especially the metastasis of lung cancer. We found that nitric oxide can remodel cytoskeleton and promoted the mobility of lung cancer cells. The expressions of iNOS, caldesmon, and OPN are closely correlated to metastasis of lung cancer. The intracranial metastatic tissue samples of lung cancer showed significantly higher expression of iNOS, caldesmon and OPN. A flow-cytometry analysis for peripheral blood of lung cancer patients showed increased EPCAM+/OPN+ cells in circulation of patients with bone metastasis compared to that of patients without metastasis, which is indicative of cancer circulating cells. The concentration of serum OPN was also positively related to the bone metastasis of lung cancer. Taken together, these results suggested that iNOS, caldesmon and OPN may work as biomarkers for metastasis of lung cancer.

Abstract
The hyperactivation of human spermatozoa necessary for fertilization requires a substantial increase in cellular energy production. The factors responsible for increasing cellular energy remain poorly defined. This article proposes a role for a novel mitochondrial progesterone receptor (PR-M) in modulation of mitochondrial activity. Basic science studies demonstrate a 38 kDa protein with western blot analysis, consistent with PR-M; whereas imaging studies with confocal and immunoelectron microscopy demonstrate a PR on the mitochondria. Treatment with a PR-specific progestin shows increased mitochondrial membrane potential, not related to induction of an acrosome reaction. The increase in mitochondrial membrane potential was inhibited by a specific PR antagonist, but not affected by an inhibitor to the progesterone-dependent Catsper voltage-activated channel. In conclusion, these studies suggest expression of a novel mitochondrial PR in human spermatozoa with a progestin-dependent increase in mitochondrial activity. This mechanism may serve to enhance cellular energy production as the spermatozoa traverse the female genital tract being exposed to increasing concentrations of progesterone.

Abstract
We describe a case-control study performed in Jiangsu, China, to evaluate risk factors for human infection with novel avian influenza A(H7N9) virus. Twenty-five cases and 93 controls matched by age, sex, and location were included in the study. Direct contact with poultry or birds in the two weeks before illness onset, chronic medical conditions (hypertension excluded), and environment-related exposures were significantly associated with A(H7N9) infection.

Abstract
Oroxylin A is a major active component of the Chinese traditional medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, which has been reported as a potential anticancer drug. We demonstrated that, Oroxylin A inhibited the glycolysis and the binding of hexokinase II (HK II) with mitochondria in human breast carcinoma cell lines, which was dependent on sirtuin-3 (SIRT3). The level of SIRT3 in mitochondria was increased by Oroxylin A. Then SIRT3 deacetylated cyclophilin D, diminished its peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity and induced its dissociation from the adenine nucleotide translocator. Finally, SIRT3-induced inactivation of cyclophilin D resulted in the detachment of mitochondrial HK II and the inhibition of glycolysis. These results have important implications for the metabolism reprogramming effect and the susceptibility to Oroxylin A-induced mitochondrial cytotoxicity through the regulation of SIRT3 in breast carcinoma.
