Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study analyzed the relationship between bone marrow microvessel density (MVD) and the expression of four miRNAs with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) resistance after tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. METHODS 234 CML patients were divided into resistance and non-resistance groups in terms of the results of the 5-year follow-up. Patients were divided into the Optimum response group and the Warning/Failure group based on TKI response. MVD was determined by immunohistochemistry, and the expression levels of four miRNAs (miR-106a, miR-155, miR-146a, and miR-340) in bone marrow biopsy specimens were examined by qPCR. We evaluated the association of MVD with four miRNAs and them predictive value for CML resistance after TKI treatment. RESULTS The MVD and the levels of miR-106a, miR-155, and miR-146a were significantly higher while the miR-340 level was lower in the resistance group than the non-resistance group. Besides, MVD had a significant correlation with the levels of miR-340 and miR-155. According to the results of survival analysis, MVD as well as miR-340 and miR-155 levels were observably correlated with 5-year survival of patients without TKI resistance. The results of the ROC curve indicated that the MVD, miR-106a, miR-340, and miR-155 had good predictive accuracy for CML resistance after TKI treatment. As for the results of multivariate analysis, disease stage, risk level (high risk), high MVD, low miR-340 expression, and high miR-155 expression were all independent risk factors for CML resistance. CONCLUSION MVD and the expression of miR-340 and miR-155 are closely associated with CML resistance after TKI treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks among the most prevalent gynecological malignancies, with surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy constituting primary treatment modalities. However, despite advancements, immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, has yielded suboptimal outcomes. The pressing need to identify biomarkers predictive of clinical prognosis underscores our objective. We aim to discern gene signatures and establish prognostic subgroups, specifically in the context of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, guiding clinical decision-making. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the Tumor Immunotherapy Gene Expression Resource (TIGER) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases to extract signature genes of prognostic significance. Unsupervised consensus clustering was employed to classify patients based on these signature genes. The Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) database, along with the R packages "maftools" and "ESTIMATE" facilitated immune infiltration estimation. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were implemented to probe immune-related cell signaling pathways among distinct subtypes. The Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) database was used to assess immunotherapy effects, while the R package "OncoPredict" evaluated drug sensitivity differences among subtypes. RESULTS We identified five prognostically influential genes in ovarian cancer: IGFBP7, JCHAIN, CCDC80, VSIG4, and MS4A1. Utilizing these signature genes, we categorized TCGA-OV patients into five clusters, each associated with varying clinical prognoses. Notably, 2 clusters exhibited superior prognoses, accompanied by enhanced immune cell infiltration. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed their heightened enrichment in cellular immunity and immune cell interaction pathways. Given the elevated expression levels of multiple immune checkpoint molecules, these clusters may substantially benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Additionally, chemotherapy sensitivity analysis indicated their favorable responses to first or second-line chemotherapy regimens. CONCLUSIONS We subclustered ovarian cancer patients by 5 signature genes obtained from the Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset, which demonstrated a good typing effect. Patients in the two molecular subtypes showed better survival, higher immune cell infiltration, and higher drug sensitivity. This meticulous typing may help clinicians to quickly assess the prognosis of patients and the response to immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Myocardial damage is a critical complication and a significant contributor to mortality in sepsis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key players in sepsis pathogenesis. In this study, we explore the effect and mechanisms of miR-29b-1-5p on sepsis-induced myocardial damage. Sepsis-associated Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE72380 and GSE29914) are examined for differential miRNAs. The mouse sepsis-induced cardiac injury was established by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). LPS-treated HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes simulate myocardial injury in vitro. miR-29b-1-5p is co-upregulated in both datasets and in cardiac tissue from sepsis mouse and HL-1 cell models. miR-29b-1-5p expression downregulation was achieved by antagomir transduction and confirmed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Survival analysis and echocardiography examination show that miR-29b-1-5p inhibition improves mice survival cardiac function in LPS- and CLP-induced sepsis mice. Hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining and Immunohistochemistry analysis of mouse myocardial α-smooth muscle actin show that miR-29b-1-5p inhibition reduces myocardial tissue injury and fibrosis. The inflammatory cytokines and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels in mouse serum and HL-1 cells are also decreased by miR-29b-1-5p inhibition, as revealed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expressions of autophagy-lysosomal pathway-related and apoptosis-related proteins in the mouse cardiac tissues and HL-1 cells are evaluated by western blot analysis. The sepsis-induced activation of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway and apoptosis are also reversed by miR-29b-1-5p antagomir. MTT and flow cytometry measurement further confirm the protective role of miR-29b-1-5p antagomir in HL-1 cells by increasing cell viability and suppressing cell apoptosis. Metascape functionally enriches TargetScan-predicted miR-29b-1-5p target genes. TargetScan prediction and dual luciferase assay validate the targeting relationship between miR-29b-1-5p and telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TERF2). The expression and function of TERF2 in HL-1 cells and mice are also evaluated. MiR-29b-1-5p negatively regulates the target gene TERF2. TERF2 knockdown partly restores miR-29b-1-5p antagomir function in LPS-stimulated HL-1 cells. In summary, miR-29b-1-5p targetedly inhibits TERF2, thereby enhancing sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

Abstract
This retrospective clinical study described the treatment efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastasis tumors. The therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with liver cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (Shanghai, China) between July 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Overall survival (OS), local control (LC) rates and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test. Local progression was defined as tumor growth after SBRT on dynamic computed tomography follow-up. Treatment-related toxicities were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4. A total of 36 patients with liver cancer were enrolled in the present study. The prescribed dosages (14 Gy in 3 fractions or 16 Gy in 3 fractions) were applied for SBRT treatments. The median follow-up time was 21.4 months. The median OS time was 20.4 [95% confidence interval (CI): 6.6-34.2] months, and the 2-year OS rates for the total population, HCC group and liver metastasis group were 47.5, 73.3 and 34.2%, respectively. The median PFS time was 17.3 (95% CI: 11.8-22.8) months and the 2-year PFS rates for the total population, HCC group and liver metastasis group were 36.3, 44.0 and 31.4%, respectively. The 2-year LC rates for the total population, HCC group and liver metastasis group were 83.4, 85.7 and 81.6%, respectively. The most common grade IV toxicity for the HCC group was liver function impairment (15.4%), followed by thrombocytopenia (7.7%). There were no grade III/IV radiation pneumonia or digestive discomfort. The present study aimed to explore a safe, effective and non-invasive treatment method for liver tumors. At the same time, the innovation of the present study is to find a safe and effective prescription dose of SBRT in the absence of consensus on guidelines.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinical features and related factors of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients hospitalized for AECOPD in ten tertiary hospitals of China from September 2017 to July 2021. AECOPD patients with IPA were included as case group, AECOPD patients without IPA were randomly selected as control group from the same hospitals and same hospitalization period as the patients with IPA using the random function in the software of Microsoft Excel 2003, at a ratio of 2∶1. The clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome were compared between the two groups. Binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with IPA in AECOPD patients. Results: A total of 14 007 inpatients with AECOPD were included in this study, and 300 patients were confirmed to have IPA, with an incidence rate of 2.14%. According to the above matching method, 600 AECOPD patients without aspergillus infection were enrolled as the control group. The age of the case group and the control group were (72.5±9.7) and (73.5±10.3) years old, with 78.0%(n=234) male and 76.8%(n=461) male, respectively. There were no significant differences in age and gender composition between the two groups (all P>0.05). The prognosis of case group was significantly worse than that of the control group, with longer hospital stay [M(Q1,Q3)], [14 (10-20) d vs 11 (8-15) d, P<0.001], higher ICU admission rate [16.3% (49 case) vs 10.0% (60 case), P=0.006], higher in-hospital mortality [4.0% (12 cases) vs 1.3% (8 cases), P=0.011], and higher hospitalization costs (28 000 ¥ vs 13 700 ¥, P<0.001). The smoking index of the case group and proportions of patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic pulmonary heart disease in the case group were significantly higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). In terms of clinical features, the proportions of patients with cough, expectoration, purulent sputum, hemoptysis and fever in the case group were higher than those in the control group, the serum albumin was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the proportions of patients with bronchiectasis and pulmonary bullae on imaging were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Diabetes (OR=1.559, 95%CI: 1.084-2.243), chronic pulmonary heart disease (OR=1.476, 95%CI: 1.075-2.028), bronchiectasis (OR=1.506, 95%CI: 1.092-2.078), pulmonary bullae (OR=1.988, 95%CI: 1.475-2.678) and serum albumin<35 g/L (OR=1.786, 95%CI: 1.325-2.406) were the related factors of IPA in patients with AECOPD. Conclusions: The incidence of IPA in AECOPD patients is relatively high and the prognosis of these patients is worse. Diabetes, chronic pulmonary heart disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary bulla, hypoproteinemia are the related factors of IPA in patients with AECOPD.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of Wenyang Zhenshuai Granules(WYZSG) on autophagy and apoptosis of myocardial cells in rats with sepsis via regulating the expression of microRNA-132-3p(miR-132-3p)/uncoupling protein 2(UCP2). Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into modeling group(n=50) and sham operation group(n=10). The sepsis rat model was constructed by cecal ligation and perforation in the modeling group. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into WYZSG low-, medium-and high-dose groups, model group and positive control group. Rats in the sham operation group underwent opening and cecum division but without perforation and ligation. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of rat myocardial tissue. Myocardial cell apoptosis was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR) was performed to detect the expression of miR-132-3p and the mRNA expressions of UCP2, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ), Beclin-1 and caspase-3 in rat myocardial tissue. The protein expressions of UCP2, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ, Beclin-1 and caspase-3 in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the regulatory relationship between miR-132-3p and UCP2. The myocardial fibers of sepsis model rats were disordered, and there were obvious inflammatory cell infiltration as well as myocardial cell edema and necrosis. With the increase of the WYZSG dose, the histopathological changes of myocardium were improved to varying degrees. Compared with the conditions in the sham operation group, the survival rate and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) of rats in the model group, positive control group and WYZSG low-, medium-and high-dose groups were decreased, and the myocardial injury score and apoptosis rate were increased. Compared with the model group, the positive control group and WYZSG low-, medium-and high-dose groups had elevated survival rate and LVEF, and lowered myocardial injury score and apoptosis rate. The expression of miR-132-3p and the mRNA and protein expressions of UCP2 in myocardial tissue in the model group, positive control group and WYZSG low-, medium-and high-dose groups were lower, while the mRNA and protein expressions of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ, Beclin-1 and caspase-3 were higher than those in the sham operation group. Compared with model group, the positive control group and the WYZSG low-, medium-and high-dose groups had an up-regulation in the expression of miR-132-3p and the mRNA and protein expressions of UCP2, while a down-regulation in the mRNA and protein expressions of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ, Beclin-1 and caspase-3. WYZSG inhibited excessive autophagy and apoptosis of myocardial cells in septic rats and improved myocardial injury, possibly by regulating the expression of miR-132-3p/UCP2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the driving gene of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence and progression and its potential as new therapeutic target of HCC. METHODS The transcriptome and genomic data of 858 HCC tissues and 493 adjacent tissues were obtained from TCGA, GEO, and ICGC databases. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) identified EHHADH (encoding enoyl-CoA hydratase/L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) as the hub gene in the significantly enriched differential pathways in HCC. The downregulation of EHHADH expression at the transcriptome level was found to correlate with TP53 mutation based on analysis of the TCGA- HCC dataset, and the mechanism by which TP53 mutation caused EHHADH downregulation was explored through correlation analysis. Analysis of the data from the Metascape database suggested that EHHADH was strongly correlated with the ferroptosis signaling pathway in HCC progression, and to verify this result, immunohistochemical staining was used to examine EHHADH expression in 30 HCC tissues and paired adjacent tissues. RESULTS All the 3 HCC datasets showed signficnatly lowered EHHADH expression in HCC tissues as compared with the adjacent tissues (P < 0.05) with a close correlation with the degree of hepatocyte de-differentiation (P < 0.01). The somatic landscape of HCC cohort in TCGA dataset showed that HCC patients had the highest genomic TP53 mutation rate. The transcriptomic level of PPARGC1A, the upstream gene of EHHADH, was significantly downregulated in HCC patients with TP53 mutation as compared with those without the mutation (P < 0.05), and was significantly correlated with EHHADH expression level. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that EHHADH expression was significantly correlated with abnormal fatty acid metabolism in HCC. The immunohistochemical results showd that the expression level of EHHADH in HCC tissues was down-regulated, and its expression level was related to the degree of hepatocytes de-differentiation and the process of ferroptosis. CONCLUSION TP53 mutations may induce abnormal expression of PPARGC1A to cause downregulation of EHHADH expression in HCC. The low expression of EHHADH is closely associated with aggravation of de-differentiation and ferroptosis escape in HCC tissues, suggesting the potential of EHHADH as a therapeutic target for HCC.

Abstract
Finding new targets is necessary for understanding tumorigenesis and developing cancer therapeutics. DExH-box helicase 9 (DHX9) plays a central role in many cellular processes but its expression pattern and prognostic value in most types of cancer remain unclear. In this study, we extracted pan-cancer data from TCGA and GEO databases to explore the prognostic and immunological role of DHX9. The expression levels of DHX9 were then verified in tumor specimens by western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The oncogenic roles of DHX9 in cancers were further verified by in vitro experiments. We first verified that DHX9 is highly expressed in most tumors but significantly decreased in kidney and thyroid cancers, and it is prominently correlated with the prognosis of patients with different tumors. The phosphorylation level of DHX9 was also increased in cancers. Enrichment analysis revealed that DHX9 was involved in Spliceosome, RNA transport and mRNA surveillance pathway. Furthermore, DHX9 expression exhibited strong correlations with immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint genes, and tumor mutational burden (TMB)/microsatellite instability (MSI). In liver, lung, breast and renal cancer cells, the knockdown or depletion of DHX9 significantly affected the proliferation, metastasis and EMT process of cancer cells. In summary, this pan-cancer investigation provides a comprehensive understanding of the prognostic and immunological role of DHX9 in human cancers, and experiments indicated that DHX9 was a potential target for cancer treatment.

Abstract
In China, dezocine is commonly employed as a partial agonist of mu/kappa opioid receptors during anesthesia induction for surgical patients, yet evidence supporting its causal association with emergence delirium is limited. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of intravenous dezocine administered during anesthesia induction on emergence delirium. The retrospective studied existing data containing medical records of patients undergoing an elective laparoscopy procedure and the study was conducted with ethics-board approval. The primary outcome was the incidence of emergence delirium. Secondary outcomes included the VAS in the PACU and 24 h after surgery, the RASS score in the PACU, postoperative MMSE, hospital stay, and ICU stay. A total of 681 patients were analyzed, after being propensity score-matched, the dezocine and non-dezocine group each had 245 patients. Emergence delirium occurred in 26/245 (10.6%) of patients who received dezocine and 41/245 (16.7%) of patients did not receive dezocine. Patients on whom dezocine was used were associated with a significantly lower incidence of emergence delirium (absolute risk difference, −6.1%, 95% CI, −12% to −0.2%; relative risk [RR], 0.63; 95% CI, 0.18–0.74). All secondary outcome measures and adverse outcomes were not significantly different. The use of dezocine during anesthesia induction was associated with a decreased incidence of emergence delirium after elective laparoscopic surgeries.

Abstract
Background Bone bruises and concomitant ligament injuries after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have attracted attention, but their correlation and potential clinical significance remain unclear. Purpose To assess the relationship between bone bruises and concomitant ligamentous injuries in ACL injuries. Study design Systematic review. Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library was completed from inception to October 20, 2021. All articles that evaluated the relationship between bone bruises and related ligaments injuries were included. Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) was used for quality assessment as well as Review Manager 5.3 was used for data analysis. Results A total of 19 studies evaluating 3292 patients were included. After meta-analysis, anterolateral ligament (ALL) injuries were associated with bone bruising on the lateral tibial plateau (LTP) (RR = 2.33; 95% CI 1.44-3.77; p = 0.0006), lateral femoral condyle (LFC) (RR = 1.97; 95% CI 1.37-2.85; p = 0.0003) and medial tibial plateau (MTP) (RR = 1.62; 95% CI 1.24-2.11; p = 0.0004); Moreover, medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries were associated with bone bruising on the femur (RR = 1.49; 95% CI 1.17-1.90; p = 0.001), and no statistical significance was found between bone bruising on the MTP and Kaplan fiber (KF) injuries (RR = 1.58; 95% CI 1.00-2.49; p = 0.05). Nonetheless, the current evidence did not conclude that bone bruises were associated with lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injuries. Conclusion For individuals with an ACL injury, bone bruises of the LTP, LFC, and MTP can assist in the diagnosis of ALL injuries. Furthermore, femoral bruising has potential diagnostic value for MCL injuries. Knowing these associations allows surgeons to be alert to ACL-related ligament injuries on MRI and during operations in future clinical practice.

Abstract
Fluid shear stress (FSS) plays an important role in osteoblast apoptosis. However, the role of miRNA in osteoblast apoptosis under FSS and possible molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Our aim of the study was to explore whether miR-146a-5p regulates osteoblast apoptosis under FSS and its molecular mechanisms. FSS could down-regulate the expression of miR-146a-5p in MC3T3-E1 cells. We confirm that up-regulation of miR-146a-5p promotes osteoblasts apoptosis and down-regulation of miR-146a-5p inhibits osteoblasts apoptosis. We further demonstrated that FSS inhibits osteoblast apoptosis by down-regulated miR-146a-5p. Dual-luciferase reporter assay validated that SMAD4 is a direct target gene of miR-146a-5p. In addition, mimic-146a-5p suppressed FSS-induced up-regulation of SMAD4 protein levels, which suggests that FSS elevated SMAD4 protein expression levels via regulation miR-146a-5p. Further investigations showed that SMAD4 could inhibit osteoblast apoptosis. We demonstrated that miR-146a-5p regulates osteoblast apoptosis via targeting SMAD4. Taken together, our present study showed that FSS-induced down-regulation miR-146a-5p inhibits osteoblast apoptosis via target SMAD4. These findings may provide novel mechanisms for FSS to inhibit osteoblast apoptosis, and also may provide a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Nowadays, there is still no effective treatment developed for COVID-19, and early identification and supportive therapies are essential in reducing the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. This is the first study to evaluate D-dimer to lymphocyte ratio (DLR) as a prognostic utility in patients with COVID-19. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 611 patients and separated them into groups of survivors and non-survivors. The area under the curve (AUC) of various predictors integrated into the prognosis of COVID-19 was compared using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. In order to ascertain the interaction between DLR and survival in COVID-19 patients, the Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve was chosen. Results Age (OR = 1.053; 95% CI, 1.022-1.086; P = 0.001), NLR (OR = 1.045; 95% CI, 1.001-1.091; P = 0.046), CRP (OR = 1.010; 95% CI, 1.005-1.016; P < 0.001), PT (OR = 1.184; 95% CI, 1.018-1.377; P = 0.029), and DLR (OR = 1.048; 95% CI, 1.018-1.078; P = 0.001) were the independent risk factors related with the mortality of COVID-19. DLR had the highest predictive value for COVID-19 mortality with the AUC of 0.924. Patients' survival was lower when compared to those with lower DLR (Log Rank P <0.001). Conclusion DLR might indicate a risk factor in the mortality of patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) has been an emerging environmental pollutant due to its significant genotoxicity to mankind. Advanced oxidation processes are a potential strategy to remove DOX in water solution. To develop a highly efficient catalytic agent to remove DOX, bimetal MOFs were synthesized, with Cu2+ and Co2+ as the central ions and adenine as the organic ligand. This study investigated the degradation of DOX by Co/Cu-MOFs combined with peroxymonosulfate (PMS). It was found that the degradation of DOX by Co/Cu-MOFs can reach 80% in only 10 seconds. This can be explained by the charge transfer from Co(iii) to Co(ii) being accelerated by Cu2+, resulting in the rapid generation of free radicals, which was proved by the EIS Nyquist diagram. Co/Cu-MOFs can be reused by simply washing with water without inactivation. Therefore, Co/Cu-MOFs can be used as an efficient catalytic agent to degrade DOX in environmental water.

Abstract
Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, participates in a variety of biological processes in maintaining bone homeostasis. As the most abundant cells in bones of the mammals, osteocytes play an essential role in bone formation, remodeling, and bone mass maintenance. Here, by exposing MLO-Y4 osteocytes to the fluid shear stress (FSS) microenvironment, we explored the effect of Piezo1-mediated FSS on the expression of the molecules critical to the process of bone formation and resorption, Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG). It was found that 9 dyne/cm2 loading for 30 minutes showed an upregulation trend on Piezo1 when MLO-Y4 osteocytes were exposed to an FSS microenvironment. FSS promotes the expression of OPG and inhibits the expression of RANKL. The blocker of Piezo1, GsMTx4, downregulates the effect of FSS on the expression of these two molecules. In addition, NOTCH3 was involved in this process. Thus, the results demonstrated that Piezo1-mediated FSS promotes the expression of OPG and inhibits the expression of RANKL via NOTCH3 in MLO-Y4 osteocytes.

PURPOSE This single-center retrospective clinical study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of chemoradiotherapy with paclitaxel liposome plus cisplatin for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS Patients with locally advanced ESCC treated with paclitaxel-liposome-based chemoradiotherapy between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients with locally advanced ESCC were included in this study. The median follow-up time was 31.5 months. The median OS time was 38.3 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 32.1-45.1) months, and the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 84.6%, 64.1%, and 56.2%, respectively. The median PFS time was 32.1 (95% CI: 25.4-39.0) months, and the 1-, 2-, and 3-year PFS rates were 71.8%, 43.6%, and 43.6%, respectively. The most common Grade IV toxicity was neutropenia (30.8%) followed by lymphopenia (20.5%). There were no cases of Grade III/IV radiation pneumonia, and four patients (10.3%) had Grade III/IV esophagitis. CONCLUSION Chemoradiotherapy using paclitaxel liposome and cisplatin is a well-tolerated and effective treatment regimen for locally advanced ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In neuropathic pain following peripheral nerve injury, microglia are rapidly activated and accumulated in the spinal cord. Physical exercise can alleviate neuropathic pain. However, the exact mechanism underlying this analgesic effect is not fully understood. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which exercise alleviates neuropathic pain in relation to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), microglia polarization, and autophagy. STUDY DESIGN A randomized controlled animal study divided into 2 stages. The first stage comprised 4 groups each with 6 mice, and the second stage comprised 6 groups, 3 with 18 mice and 3 with 12 mice. SETTING Department of Anesthesiology, Lanzhou University Second Hospital, Orthopaedics Key Laboratory of Gansu Province, Lanzhou University. METHODS Von Frey filaments, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy analyses were conducted to detect relevant markers. RESULTS After peripheral nerve injury, exercise training downregulated BDNF expression and reversed microglial activation, as indicated by the increased expression of the M2 marker CD206 and decreased expression of the M1 marker CD86 in the spinal dorsal horn of mice. Autophagy flux was enhanced after exercise training, as suggested by the increased expression of the autophagy markers LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin1 and decreased expression of the autophagy adaptor protein p62. Furthermore, autophagy inhibition by 3-methyladenine aggravated M1 polarization and hyperalgesia, whereas autophagy induced by rapamycin promoted M2 polarization and reduced hyperalgesia. Intrathecal injection of BDNF significantly upregulated BDNF expression, inhibited autophagy, triggered M1 polarization of spinal microglia, and aggravated hyperalgesia. Furthermore, BDNF regulated autophagy through the AKT/mTOR pathway, thereby participating in exercise training-mediated polarization of microglia after nerve injury. LIMITATIONS The effect of exercise on autophagy and pain cannot be assessed in an in vitro model. The influence of intrathecal injection of BDNF on the metabolic changes in other neuronal cells and the subsequent effects on pain should be investigated. Further studies on how exercise training modulates microglial autophagy to alleviate neuropathic pain are needed. CONCLUSIONS Exercise training promoted the recovery of sciatic nerve injury in mice, possibly by regulating microglial polarization through BDNF/AKT/mTOR signaling-mediated autophagy flux. We confirmed the efficacy of exercise training in alleviating neuropathic pain and suggest a new therapeutic target for neuropathic pain.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in bone metabolism and participate in the mechanically induced bone alterations. The underlying molecular mechanisms by which fluid shear stress (FSS) regulate the proliferative and apoptotic phenotypic changes of osteoblasts remain elusive. The study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of FSS on osteoblast proliferative and apoptotic phenotypes and the roles of miR-214-3p-ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4) signaling axis in the mechanomodulation processes. FSS promoted the proliferative activity of osteoblasts and suppressed mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis. FSS decreased miR-214-3p expression and increased ATF4 expression in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. MiR-214-3p inhibited osteoblast proliferative activity and promoted mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis. Overexpression of miR-214-3p attenuated FSS-enhanced osteoblast proliferation and FSS-suppressed mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis. We validated that ATF4 acted as a target gene of miR-214-3p. Moreover, miR-214 3p regulated osteoblast proliferation and apoptosis through targeting ATF4. Taken together, our study proved that FSS could suppress mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis and promote osteoblast proliferation through the miR-214-3p-ATF4 signaling axis.

Abstract
The Cymbopogon genus belongs to the Andropoganeae family of the family Poaceae, which is famous for its high essential oil concentration. Cymbopogon possesses a diverse set of characteristics that supports its applications in cosmetic, pharmaceuticals and phytotherapy. The purpose of this review is to summarize and connect the evidence supporting the use of phytotherapy, phytomedicine, phytochemistry, ethnopharmacology, toxicology, pharmacological activities, and quality control of the Cymbopogon species and their extracts. To ensure the successful completion of this review, data and studies relating to this review were strategically searched and obtained from scientific databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, and Elsevier. Approximately 120 acceptable reviews, original research articles, and other observational studies were included and incorporated for further analysis. Studies showed that the genus Cymbopogon mainly contained flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which were the pivotal pharmacological active ingredients. When combined with the complex β-cyclodextrin, phytochemicals such as citronellal have been shown to have their own mechanism of action in inhibiting the descending pain pathway. Another mechanism of action described in this review is that of geraniol and citral phytochemicals, which have rose and lemon-like scents and can be exploited in soaps, detergents, mouthwash, cosmetics, and other products. Many other pharmacological effects, such as anti-protozoal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer have been discussed sequentially, along with how and which phytochemicals are responsible for the observed effect. Cymbopogon species have proven to be extremely valuable, with many applications. Its phytotherapy is proven to be due to its rich phytochemicals, obtained from different parts of the plant like leaves, roots, aerial parts, rhizomes, and even its essential oils. For herbs of Cymbopogon genus as a characteristic plant therapy, significant research is required to ensure their efficacy and safety for a variety of ailments.

Abstract
7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) is a widely used sterol and a precursor of several costly steroidal drugs. In this study, 7-DHC biosynthesis pathway was constructed and modified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Firstly, the biosynthesis pathway was constructed by knocking out the competitive pathway genes ERG5 and ERG6 and integrating two DHCR24 copies from Gallus gallus at both sites. Then, 7-DHC titer was improved by knocking out MOT3, which encoded a transcriptional repressor for the 7-DHC biosynthesis pathway. Next, by knocking out NEM1 and PAH1, 7-DHC accumulation was improved, and genes upregulation was verified by quantitative PCR (qPCR). Additionally, tHMG1, IDI1, ERG2, ERG3, DHCR24, POS5, and CTT1 integration into multi-copy sites was used to convert precursors to 7-DHC, and increase metabolic flux. Finally, qPCR confirmed the significant up-regulation of key genes transcriptional levels. In a 96 h shaker flask fermentation, the 7-DHC titer was 649.5 mg/L by de novo synthesis. In a 5 L bioreactor, the 7-DHC titer was 2.0 g/L, which was the highest 7-DHC titer reported to date. Our study is of great significance for the industrial production of 7-DHC and steroid development for medical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the role of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) according to tumor response in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) era. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with LS-SCLC without brain metastases (BMs) on MRI who achieved either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after initial chemoradiotherapy at our center from 2006 to 2017. RESULTS This study comprised 116 patients (median age, 58 years; men, 92; women, 24). After initial chemoradiotherapy, 53 patients achieved CR, while 63 patients achieved PR. Eighty-three patients received PCI. Patients who received PCI had better overall survival (OS, 5-year: 52.5% vs. 35.1%; p = 0.012) and progression-free survival (PFS, 5-year: 45.0% vs. 28.2%; p = 0.001) and a lower incidence of BMs (5-year: 18.3% vs. 39.4%; p = 0.010). In the subgroup analysis, PCI improved OS (5-year: 67.8% vs. 46.7%, p = 0.005) and PFS (5-year: 65.2% vs. 35.0%, p = 0.021) and decreased BM risk (5-year: 12.1% vs. 52.4%, p = 0.002) for patients with CR. However, PCI had no benefit (5-year OS: 40.5% vs. 35.6%, p = 0.763; 5-year BMs: 24.6% vs. 31.9%, p = 0.561) for patients with PR. CONCLUSIONS Tumor response remained an important factor for selecting patients for PCI in the MRI era. PCI should be recommended for patients with LS-SCLC who achieve CR after initial thoracic chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The posterior tibial slope (PTS) is considered a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, the influence of PTS on graft failure following ACL reconstruction remains relatively unknown. Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to investigate whether PTS could be a potential risk factor for graft failure after ACL reconstruction. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, and Wanfang Database were comprehensively searched from inception to March 31, 2021. Observational studies reporting the associations of medial tibial plateau slope (MTPS) or lateral tibial plateau slope (LTPS) with graft failure after ACL reconstruction were evaluated. RESULTS Twenty studies involving 12 case-control studies, 4 retrospective studies and 4 cross-sectional studies including 5326 patients met the final inclusion criteria. The high heterogeneity and the characteristics of nonrandomized controlled trials limited data synthesis. Fifteen of the 20 included studies detected a significant association between increased PTS and ACL graft failure, while 5 studies concluded that increased PTS was not associated with ACL graft failure. Ten studies suggested that MTPS is associated with ACL graft failure, and six studies suggested that LTPS is associated with ACL graft failure. The mean MTPS values for nonfailure group ranged from 3.5° ± 2.5° to 14.4° ± 2.8°. For the graft failure group, MTPS ranged from 4.71° ± 2.41° to 17.2° ± 2.2°. The mean LTPS values for nonfailure group ranged from 2.9° ± 2.1° to 11.9° ± 3.0°. For the graft failure group, LTPS ranged from 5.5° ± 3.0° to 13.3° ± 3.0°. The reported PTS values that caused ACL graft failure was greater than 7.4° to 17°. CONCLUSION Based on the current clinical evidence, increased PTS is associated with a higher risk of ACL graft failure after ACL reconstruction. Despite various methods of measuring PTS have high reliability, there is still vast disagreement in the actual value of PTS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis (OP) is a common disease among adults aged >50 years. At present, the main approach to screen or to diagnosis OP is mainly via bone mineral density (BMD) testing, which might not be optimal for OP screening. This study aimed to develop and validate a convenient and effective prediction model for screening OP based on the demographic information, medical history, and lifestyle habits in the elderly in the United States. METHODS All data were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Survey database. Participants aged ≥50 years with complete BMD data were included in this study. Twelve candidate predictors were initially selected to develop the prediction model. Final predictors screening and model development were based on multivariate logistic regression. Model discrimination (C statistic) and calibration (Brier scores) were calculated to evaluate the performance of the model. Internal validation was performed using the bootstrap resampling technique, and external validation was based on the validation cohort. RESULTS The screening tool was developed with individual patient data from 1941 patients and validated with data from 1947 patients after the development of the model. Seven predictors (patient age, sex, race, body mass index, physical activity, sleep duration, and history of fracture) were included in the final prediction model, and the final model had a C statistic of 0.849 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.820-0.878] and Brier scores of 0.062 [95% CI: 0.054-0.070] on the development cohort. For the validation of the developed model, the results showed a C statistic >0.800 and Brier scores <0.070, irrespective of internal validation or external validation. CONCLUSIONS A novel screening tool for OP in the elderly, which has excellent discrimination and useful calibration, has been developed and externally validated. Considering its simplicity, generalizability, and accuracy, this tool has the potential to become a practical mean for the elderly to screen OP.

Abstract
High blood mercury levels could lead to mercury poisoning, undoubtedly causing great harm to human health. However, the impact of the normal concentration of blood mercury on bone mineral density (BMD) is unclear. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between blood mercury levels and BMD and determined whether the relationship between blood mercury and BMD differs by populations. Two researchers extracted data from the 2005-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. Multivariate linear regression models were performed to evaluate the relationship between mercury level and BMD of the femoral regions and spine. Subgroup analysis was used to estimate differences according to population subgroups. Moreover, the nonlinear relationship of blood mercury levels and BMD was assessed using smooth curve fitting and generalized additive models. The results showed increased BMD with increasing mercury levels by multivariable-adjusted linear regression models, especially in the femoral regions. Subgroup analysis showed that the relationship was more likely to be present in non-Hispanic Whites, while a negative correlation between blood mercury levels and spinal BMD was observed in non-Hispanic Blacks. Furthermore, males (aged 20 to 29 years) and females (aged 30 to 39 years) with low blood mercury levels (< 3 ug/L) had increased risks of osteopenia or osteoporosis. This study showed that blood mercury level within the normal reference value of 10 μg/dL may be associated with BMD, especially with a lower blood mercury level, which may suggest an elevated risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis. However, causation could not be established due to the study design.

Abstract
Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has developed rapidly in the last decade and is emerging as a promising diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, its diagnostic value for PJI is still uncertain. This systematic review aimed to explore the diagnostic value of NGS for PJI and verify its accuracy for culture‐negative PJI patients. We conducted this systematic review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify diagnostic technique studies evaluating the accuracy of NGS in the diagnosis of PJI. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were estimated for each article. The detection rate of NGS for culture‐negative PJI patients or PJI patients with antibiotic administration history was also calculated. Of the 87 identified citations, nine studies met the inclusion criteria. The diagnostic sensitivities and specificities of NGS ranged from 63% to 96% and 73% to 100%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values ranged from 71% to 100% and 74% to 95%, respectively. The detection rate of NGS for culture‐negative PJI patients in six studies was higher than 50% (range from 82% to 100%), while in three studies it was lower than 50% (range from 9% to 31%). Also, the detection rate of NGS for PJIs with antibiotic administration history ranged from 74.05% to 92.31%. In conclusion, this systematic review suggests that NGS may have the potential to be a new tool for the diagnosis of PJI and should be considered to be added to the portfolio of diagnostic procedures. Furthermore, NGS showed a favorable diagnostic accuracy for culture‐negative PJI patients or PJI patients with antibiotic administration history. However, due to the small sample sizes of studies and substantial heterogeneity among the included studies, more research is needed to confirm or disprove these findings.

Abstract
Articular cartilage consists of an extracellular matrix including many proteins as well as embedded chondrocytes. Articular cartilage formation and function are influenced by mechanical forces. Hind limb unloading or simulated microgravity causes articular cartilage loss, suggesting the importance of the healthy mechanical environment in articular cartilage homeostasis and implying a significant role of appropriate mechanical stimulation in articular cartilage degeneration. Mechanosensitive ion channels participate in regulating the metabolism of articular chondrocytes, including matrix protein production and extracellular matrix synthesis. Mechanical stimuli, including fluid shear stress, stretch, compression and cell swelling and decreased mechanical conditions (such as simulated microgravity) can alter the membrane potential and regulate the metabolism of articular chondrocytes via transmembrane ion channel-induced ionic fluxes. This process includes Ca2+ influx and the resulting mobilization of Ca2+ that is due to massive released Ca2+ from stores, intracellular cation efflux and extracellular cation influx. This review brings together published information on mechanosensitive ion channels, such as stretch-activated channels (SACs), voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa channels), Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SKCa channels), voltage-activated H+ channels (VAHCs), acid sensing ion channels (ASICs), transient receptor potential (TRP) family channels, and piezo1/2 channels. Data based on epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs), purinergic receptors and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are also included. These channels mediate mechanoelectrical physiological processes essential for converting physical force signals into biological signals. The primary channel-mediated effects and signaling pathways regulated by these mechanosensitive ion channels can influence the progression of osteoarthritis during the mechanosensory and mechanoadaptive process of articular chondrocytes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This research is a cross-sectional study based on the participants aged 50 years and older from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Poor sleep patterns were associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD) and a higher risk of osteoporosis, especially among older individuals or females. INTRODUCTION Accumulated evidence demonstrates that sleep duration, which is one aspect of sleep pattern, is associated with the risk of osteoporosis. However, the related studies on the association between sleep patterns and the risk of osteoporosis were limited. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the association of sleep patterns with BMD and the risk of osteoporosis among individuals aged 50 years and older. METHODS Participants aged ≥ 50 years from the NHANES database were included in the present study. The diagnosis of osteoporosis was based on the results of BMD testing. Moreover, all the participants were divided into different sleep pattern groups according to nocturnal sleep duration and bedtime. In addition, this study used multivariate linear regression models to evaluate the association between sleep patterns and BMD and exploited multiple logistic regression models to investigate the odds ratios (ORs) for osteoporosis. RESULTS Finally, 1,865 individuals (non-osteoporosis: N = 1,713; osteoporosis: N = 152) aged over 50 years old with complete data were analyzed. The results of multivariate linear regression models showed that individuals with normal sleep duration/later bedtime or long sleep duration/later bedtime had lower femoral BMD than those with normal sleep duration/usual bedtime. Moreover, subjects with long sleep duration/later bedtime had a higher risk of osteoporosis compared with those with normal sleep duration/usual bedtime. In addition, subgroup analyses revealed the association of sleep patterns with BMD and the risk of osteoporosis appeared to be more pronounced among individuals aged ≥ 65 years or females. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that sleep patterns are associated with BMD and the risk of osteoporosis. Poor sleep patterns contribute to decreased bone mass and the increased risk of osteoporosis. Therefore, a healthy sleep pattern is favorable for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, MPFL repair, and
nonoperative treatment are important treatments for patients with patellar
dislocation. However, it is unclear which treatment leads to better
outcomes. Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of the 3 treatments in the treatment of
patellar dislocation and compare the effect of MPFL reconstruction with MPFL
repair, MPFL reconstruction with nonoperative treatment, and MPFL repair
with nonoperative treatment. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI (China National
Knowledge Infrastructure), and Wanfang databases were searched from
inception to December 2020. Included were clinical studies that described
the efficacy and safety of 2 of the 3 treatments, studies directly comparing
the clinical effects of the 2 operative techniques, or studies comparing the
effects of reconstruction or repair with nonoperative treatment. Two
reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the quality of the
included studies with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tools. The outcomes
evaluated were postoperative redislocation rate, revision rate,
complications, and Kujala score. We used traditional direct pairwise
meta-analysis as well as network meta-analysis for comprehensive efficacy of
all 3 treatment measures. Results: Twelve studies were included: 5 compared MPFL reconstruction with MPFL
repair, 2 compared MPFL reconstruction with nonoperative treatment, and 5
compared MPFL repair with nonoperative treatment. The risk of bias was
serious in 4, moderate in 4 and low in 4 articles. MPFL reconstruction led
to significantly reduced redislocation and improved Kujala scores compared
with MPFL repair and nonoperative treatment. MPFL repair led to reduced
redislocation rates compared with nonoperative treatment but did not show an
obvious benefit in primary dislocations. There was no significant difference
among the 3 treatments in terms of revision rate and incidence of
complications, although we found that treatment-related complications were
least likely to occur in nonoperative treatment. Conclusion: The results of this review indicate that MPFL reconstruction decreases
recurrent dislocation compared with MPFL repair or nonoperative treatment,
but it has a higher possibility of complications. MPFL repair resulted in
less postoperative redislocation than nonoperative treatment but did not
show an obvious benefit in primary dislocation.

Abstract
Background Many studies have shown that lipids play important roles in bone metabolism. However, the association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and bone mineral density (BMD) is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the linear or nonlinear relation between HDL-C levels and BMD and addressed whether the HDL-C levels had the potential values for predicting the risk of osteoporosis or osteopenia. Methods Two researchers independently extracted all information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Participants over 20 years of age with available HDL-C and BMD data were enrolled in the final analysis. The linear relationship between HDL-C levels and BMD was assessed using multivariate linear regression models. Moreover, the nonlinear relationship was also characterized by fitted smoothing curves and generalized additive models. In addition, the odds ratio (OR) for osteopenia and osteoporosis was evaluated with multiple logistic regression models. Results The weighted multivariable linear regression models demonstrated that HDL-C levels displayed an inverse association with BMD, especially among females and subjects aged 30 to 39 or 50 to 59. Moreover, the nonlinear relationship characterized by smooth curve fittings and generalized additive models suggested that (i) HDL-C levels displayed an inverted U-shaped relationship with BMD among women 30 to 39 or over 60 years of age; (ii) HDL-C levels exhibited a U-shaped association with BMD among women 20 to 29 or 50 to 59 years of age. In addition, females with high HDL levels (62-139 mg/dL) had an increased risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis. Conclusion This study demonstrated that HDL-C levels exhibit an inverse correlation with BMD. Especially in females, clinicians need to be alert to patients with high HDL-C levels, which may indicate an increased risk of osteoporosis or osteopenia. For these patients, close monitoring of BMD and early intervention may be necessary.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report of efficacy repair treatment for meniscus posterior root tears repair. METHODS We systematically searched databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for relevant articles. Coleman Methodology Score was used for a quality assessment of the included studies. A meta-analysis was performed to analyze for efficacy of MMPRTs repair. RESULTS Twenty-two studies, 14 level III and 8 level IV, were included in this systematic review, with a total of 926 cases. Studies comparing repair with either meniscectomy or conservative treatment found greater improvement and slower progression of Kellgrene-Lawrence grade with meniscal repair. Decreased meniscus extrusion is beneficial to the prognosis of patients undergoing MMPRTs repair. As treatment efficacy, the Lysholm score increased 28.87 (P < 0.001), IKDC score increased 31.73. The overall pooled event rates of progression of K-L grade is 0.200. Difference of Lysholm score and IKDC score between repair and meniscectomy were 8.72 and 9.67. CONCLUSIONS The clinical subjective score after MMPRT repair was significantly improved compared with the preoperative status. Considering the progression of joint K-L grade, it can prevent the progression of arthrosis to some extent, but not completely. Decreased meniscus extrusion is beneficial to the prognosis of patients undergoing MMPRTs repair. Based on these results, MMPRTs repair cloud result favorable outcomes.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA with length of nucleotides > 200 bp. Increasing evidences show that lncRNA breast cancer antiestrogen resistance 4 (BCAR4) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of various human cancers. It is found that BCAR4 is highly expressed in diverse tumor tissues and cells, and the high expression of BCAR4 is usually associated with poor prognosis. BCAR4 is considered as an oncogene in human cancers. By competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism and regulating different signaling pathways, BCAR4 participates in the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metastasis and tumorigenesis of different cancers. In addition, overexpression of BCAR4 promotes drug resistance of tumor cells. Therefore, BCAR4 is a promising biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, and it is a potential target for cancer therapy. This paper reviews studies focusing on the relationship between BCAR4 and cancers in recent years and aims to summarize the effect and mechanism of BCAR4 in human cancers.

Abstract
A large association panel of 836 maize inbreds revealed a broader genetic diversity of cold tolerance, as predominantly favorable QTL with small effects were identified, indicating that genomic selection is the most promising option for breeding maize for cold tolerance. Maize (Zea mays L.) has limited cold tolerance, and breeding for cold tolerance is a noteworthy bottleneck for reaching the high potential of maize production in temperate areas. In this study, we evaluate a large panel of 836 maize inbred lines to detect genetic loci and candidate genes for cold tolerance at the germination and seedling stages. Genetic variation for cold tolerance was larger than in previous reports with moderately high heritability for most traits. We identified 187 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were integrated into 159 quantitative trait loci (QTL) for emergence and traits related to early growth. Most of the QTL have small effects and are specific for each environment, with the majority found under control conditions. Favorable alleles are more frequent in 120 inbreds including all germplasm groups, but mainly from Minnesota and Spain. Therefore, there is a large, potentially novel, genetic variability in the germplasm groups represented by these inbred lines. Most of the candidate genes are involved in metabolic processes and intracellular membrane-bounded organelles. We expect that further evaluations of germplasm with broader genetic diversity could identify additional favorable alleles for cold tolerance. However, it is not likely that further studies will find favorable alleles with large effects for improving cold tolerance in maize.

Abstract
The production of natural selenium (Se)-rich food by using a high-Se crop cultivar is beneficial to human health and environmental safety; however, the underlying mechanism of different Se-accumulation ability between high- and low-Se rice cultivars remains unclear. A low-grain-Se cultivar and high-grain-Se cultivar of rice were used as test materials, and two levels of Se (0 and 0.5 mg kg-1) were arranged in a randomized design containing twelve replicates. The dynamic changes of shoot Se concentration and accumulation, xylem sap Se concentration, shoot and grain Se distribution, Se transporters genes (OsPT2, Sultr1;2, NRT1.1B) expression of the high- and low-Se rice cultivars were determined. The shoot Se concentration and accumulation of the high-Se rice showed a greater degree of reduction than those of the low-Se rice during grain filling stage, indicating that leaves of high-Se rice served as a Se source and supplied more Se for the growth centre grain. The expression levels of OsPT2, NRT1.1B and Sultr1;2 in the high-Se rice cultivar were significantly higher than those in the low-Se rice cultivar, which indicated that the high-Se rice cultivar possessed better transport carriers. The distribution of Se in grain of the high-Se rice cultivar was more uniform, whereas the low-Se cultivar tended to accumulate Se in embryo end. The stronger reutilization of Se from shoots to grains promoted by increased transporters genes expression and optimized grain storage space may explain how the high-Se rice cultivar is able to accumulate more Se in grain.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors associated with mortality and the prognostic value of Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) for mortality in patients with non-high-risk pulmonary embolism complicated by caner. Methods: Patients diagnosed with non-high-risk pulmonary embolism and caner from the medical departments of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from May, 2015 to April, 2018 were included in this study. The patients were classified into death group and survival group according to whether they died during hospitalization. Clinical information was collected and univariate along with multivariate analysis were performed in order to identify the independent risk factor related to short-term mortality in these patients. Besides, all the patients were assessed the comorbidity burden using CCI score and thereby to evaluate the prognostic value of CCI for short-time mortality. Results: A total of 195 patients were included in this study, including 115 males and 80 females. In all, 32 patients died during hospitalization and the mortality rate was 16.4%. Univariate analysis showed that male (P=0.044), age ≥65y (P=0.008), staying in bed (P=0.001), chronic pulmonary diseases (P=0.030), central venous catheterization (P=0.015), stroke history within 1 month (P=0.015), pneumonia (P=0.017), respiratory failure (P=0.017), diabetes mellitus (P=0.005) and anemia (P=0.035) were related to short term mortality of these patients. As for laboratory examination results, levels of hemoglobin and sodium in death group were significantly lower than survival group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that age ≥65y (OR=3.01, 95%CI: 1.05-8.68, P=0.041), staying in bed (OR=4.15, 95%CI: 1.37-12.54, P=0.012), central venous catheterization (OR=16.10, 95%CI: 2.09-124.08, P=0.008), stroke history within 1 month (OR=6.56, 95%CI: 1.05-40.95, P=0.044) and hyponatremia (OR=2.75, 95%CI: 1.06-7.15, P=0.038) were independent risk factors of short term mortality in these patients. Besides, CCI score in death group was significantly higher than that in survival group (5.66±2.96 vs 4.13±2.74, P=0.005). Pulmonary embolism patients with CCI≥4 were associated with 4.25-fold increased risk of mortality compared with patients with CCI<4 (OR=4.25, 95%CI: 1.83-9.89, P=0.001), and the per additional 1-score increase of CCI after 4 was associated with 4.89-fold increased risk of mortality (OR=4.89, 95%CI: 2.07-11.55, P<0.001). Survival analysis showed that patients with CCI≥4 had lower survival rate than the patients with CCI<4 during hospitalization (P<0.001). Conclusions: Age ≥65y, staying in bed, central venous catheterization, stroke history within 1 month and hyponatremia are independent risk factor of short-term mortality in patients with non-high-risk pulmonary embolism and caner. CCI score has prognostic value of short term mortality in these patients, and the risk increases with the increase of comorbidities patients have.

Abstract
The present study enumerates the discovery and development of novel thiazolidin-4-one-1,3,5-triazine as neuro-protective agent against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. These compounds showed significant inhibition of NF-ĸB transcriptional activity in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, displaying compound 8k as most potent inhibitor among the tested derivative. The compound 8k was further studied in in vivo middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice model for neuro-protective action. Results suggest that compound 8k causes attenuation of inflammation (TNF-α, IL-β, and IL-6), oxidative stress (SOD, GSH, and MDA), and apoptosis (Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3) in MCAO mice in concentration-dependent manner. Collectively, our results documented that compound 8k pre-treatment protects cerebral I/R. This novel lead scaffold may be helpful for investigation of new neuro-protective agent by inactivation of NF-ĸB.

Abstract
We identify the largest amount of QTLs for cold tolerance in maize; mainly associated with photosynthetic efficiency, which opens new possibilities for genomic selection for cold tolerance in maize. Breeding for cold tolerance in maize is an important objective in temperate areas. The objective was to carry out a highly efficient study of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for cold tolerance in maize. We evaluated 406 recombinant inbred lines from a multi-parent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) population in a growth chamber under cold and control conditions, and in the field at early and normal sowing. We recorded cold tolerance-related traits, including the number of days from sowing to emergence, chlorophyll content and maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm). Association mapping was based on genotyping with near one million single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. We found 858 SNPs significantly associated with all traits, most of them under cold conditions and early sowing. Most QTLs were associated with chlorophyll and Fv/Fm. Many candidate genes coincided between the current research and previous reports. These results suggest that (1) the MAGIC population is an efficient tool for identifying QTLs for cold tolerance; (2) most QTLs for cold tolerance were associated with Fv/Fm; (3) most of these QTLs were located in specific genomic regions, particularly bin 10.04; (4) the current study allows genetically improving cold tolerance with genome-wide selection.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the differences of risk factors and prognosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) between the Tibetans and the Hans. Methods: Patients over 18 years old with confirmed PE and complete clinical data from West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2010 to January 2016 were prospectively enrolled and divided into Tibetan group and Han group. Clinical data were collected to compare risk factors and short-term prognosis between Han group and Tibetan group. In addition, a 2-year follow-up was conducted among patients after discharge to investigate the long-term prognosis. Results: A total of 90 patients in Tibetan group and 626 patients in Han group were finally included in this study. Patients in Tibetan group were younger than Han group [(52.2±15.8) vs (59.8±16.6) years old, P<0.001], and the proportion of elderly patients (age ≥70 years) in Tibetan group was significantly lower than that of Han group (15.6% vs 33.7%, P=0.001). The hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet counts and fibrinogen in Tibetan group were higher than those in Han group [(134.0±32.0) vs (122.2±25.7) g/L, (41.2±9.2)% vs (37.6±7.3)% and (222.2±97.5)×10(9)/L vs (187.5±87.2)×10(9)/L, 3.71(2.51, 4.89) vs 3.31(2.44, 4.42) g/L; P<0.001, <0.001 and P=0.001, 0.048, respectively]. Malignancy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were more common in Han group (P=0.011, 0.001), while prior venous thromboembolism history, pregnancy or a history delivery within 1 month were more common in Tibetan group (P=0.041, 0.001). Both short-term and long-term mortality in Tibetan group were significantly lower than that in Han group (2.2% vs 11.5%, 13.6% vs 24.9%; P=0.005, 0.020). Conclusions: Hypercoagulable state plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PE in Tibetan patients. Both short-term and long-term prognosis of PE in Tibetan patients are better than that in Han patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of neonatal asphyxia and possible contributing factors for the development of severe asphyxia in Hubei Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, China. METHODS A total of 16 hospitals in Hubei Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture were selected as research centers. A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 22 294 live births in these 16 hospitals from January to December, 2016 to investigate the incidence rate of neonatal asphyxia and possible contributing factors for the development of severe asphyxia. RESULTS Of the 22 294 neonates born alive, 733 (3.29%) were diagnosed with neonatal asphyxia, among whom 627 had mild asphyxia and 106 had severe asphyxia. The neonates with low maternal education level, maternal anemia during pregnancy, chorioamnionitis, abnormal amniotic fluid, abnormal umbilical cord, placenta previa, placental abruption, Tujia Minority, preterm birth, and low birth weight had a higher incidence of severe asphyxia (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of neonatal asphyxia in Hubei Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is higher. Low maternal education level, maternal anemia during pregnancy, chorioamnionitis, abnormal amniotic fluid, abnormal umbilical cord, placenta previa, placental abruption, Tujia Minority, preterm birth, and low birth weight may be related to the development of severe neonatal asphyxia.

Abstract
Uveal melanoma (UM), the predominant histological subtype of intraocular malignant tumors in adults, often results in high rates of mortality; effective prognostic signatures used to predict the survival of patients with UM are limited. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in the processes of carcinogenesis and tumor progression, but knowledge of their application as prognostic markers in UM is limited. In the present study, the expression profiles of snoRNAs in UM were determined; a total of 60 snoRNAs were notably associated with the overall survival of patients with UM via univariate Cox survival analysis. Subsequently, a prognostic signature based on four snoRNAs was proposed, which retained their prognostic significance determined by a multivariate Cox survival analysis. The formula is as follows: ACA17 * (‑1.602) + ACA45 * 0.803 + HBII‑276 * 0.603 + SNORD12 * 1.348. Furthermore, the results of in silico analysis indicated that perturbation of the phototransduction, GABAergic synapse and amphetamine addiction pathways may be the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the poor prognosis of patients with UM. Collectively, the present study proposed a potential prognostic signature for patients with UM and the prospective mechanisms at the genome‑wide level were determined.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors of pulmonary embolism (PE) in senile and non-senile inpatients, and evaluate the predictive value of Caprini risk assessment model in these two populations. Methods: Case control study design was used in this study. All the PE patients diagnosed in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2012 and December 2014 was included and divided into senile PE group (age ≥65 years old) and non-senile PE group (age <65 years old). Age matched controls (senile control group and non-senile control group) were selected from the patients admitted into the same departments during the same time period as PE patients, at a ratio of 2∶1. The risk factors of PE for senile and non-senile inpatients were investigated through comparing senile or non-senile PE patients with corresponding controls. All the subjects were retrospectively evaluated by Caprini risk assessment model, and the associations between risk stratifications and PE risk were analyzed. Results: A total of 135 senile PE patients and 212 non-senile PE patients were finally included in this study, with average age of (73.58±6.66) years old and (45.60±13.11) years old, respectively. And 233 age-matched senile controls and 418 non-senile controls were also included. The multivariate analysis showed diabetes (OR=4.08, 95%CI: 1.58-10.51, P=0.004) , heart failure (OR=3.67, 95%CI: 1.10-12.20, P=0.034) , swollen legs (OR=10.50, 95%CI: 5.57-19.79, P<0.001) , severe lung disease (OR=2.05, 95%CI: 1.08-3.90, P=0.028) , patient confined to bed (>72 h) (OR=58.33, 95%CI: 7.46-456.17, P<0.001) were independent risk factors of PE in senile patients, while obesity[body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m(2)](OR=2.72, 95%CI: 1.42-5.24, P=0.003), history of deep venous thrombosis (DVT)/PE (OR=17.54, 95%CI: 2.74-112.19, P=0.002) , hip, pelvis, or leg fracture (OR=18.31, 95%CI: 1.97-170.11, P=0.011) , swollen legs (OR=18.53, 95%CI: 11.29-30.40, P<0.001) , severe lung disease ( OR=4.11, 95%CI: 2.41-7.00, P<0.001) , patient confined to bed (>72 h) (OR=4.04, 95%CI: 2.03-8.04, P<0.001) were independent risk factors of PE in non-senile patients. Among the senile patients, the risk of PE increased with the increase of Caprini risk levels; compared with Caprini moderate risk, classifications of high risk and highest risk were associated with 4.64-fold (95%CI: 1.05-20.44, P=0.043) and 10.74-fold (95%CI: 2.46-46.94, P=0.002) increased risk of PE, respectively; within the highest subgroup, the per 2-score increase of Caprini score was associated with 3.02-fold (95%CI: 1.76-5.19, P<0.001) increased risk of PE. Among those non-senile patients, the risk of PE for Caprini low risk and high risk patients was not significantly different, compared with Caprini moderate risk patients; however, the highest risk was still associated with 3.94-fold (95%CI: 2.39-6.51, P<0.001) increased risk of PE compared with moderate risk; within this subgroup, the per 2-score increase of Caprini score was associated with 2.13-fold (95%CI: 1.21-3.73, P=0.008) increased risk of PE. Conclusions: Swollen legs, severe lung disease, confined to bed (>72 h) are common PE risk factors among both senile and non-senile inpatients. Diabetes, heart failure are unique PE risk factors for senile inpatients, while obesity (BMI≥25 kg/m(2)), history of DVT/PE, hip, pelvis, or leg fracture are unique PE risk factors for non-senile inpatients. The Caprini risk assessment model has better predictive value in senile patients than non-senile patients, while Caprini highest risk classification is companied by significantly increased risk of PE in both populations.

Abstract
Our previous studies showed that macrophages (MФs), especially myeloma-associated MФs (MAMs), induce chemoresistance in human myeloma. Here we explored the potential of targeting MФs, by using colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-blocking mAbs, to treat myeloma. Our results showed that CSF1R blockade specifically inhibited the differentiation, proliferation and survival of murine M2 MФs and MAMs, and repolarized MAMs towards M1-like MФs in vitro. CSF1R blockade alone inhibited myeloma growth in vivo, by partially depleting MAMs, polarizing MAMs to the M1 phenotype, and inducing a tumor-specific cytotoxic CD4+ T-cell response. Similarly, genetically depleting MФs in myeloma-bearing MMDTR mice retarded myeloma growth in vivo. Furthermore, the combination of CSF1R blockade and chemotherapy such as bortezomib or melphalan displayed an additive therapeutic efficacy against established myeloma. Finally, a fully human CSF1R blocking mAb, similar to its murine counterpart, was able to inhibit the differentiation, proliferation and survival of human MФs. Thus, this study provides the first direct in vivo evidence that MΦs and MAMs are indeed important for myeloma development and progression. Our results also suggest that targeting MAMs by CSF1R blocking mAbs may be promising methods to (re)sensitize myeloma cells to chemotherapy and promote anti-myeloma immune responses in patients.

Abstract
Globally, vegetable fields are the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions. A closed-chamber method together with gas chromatography was used to measure the fluxes of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in typical vegetable fields planted with four vegetables sequentially over time in the same field: endive, lettuce, cabbage and sweet corn. Results showed that N2O fluxes occurred in pulses with the N2O emission peak varying greatly among the crops. In addition, N2O emissions were linearly associated with the nitrogen (N) application rate (r = 0.8878, n = 16). Excessive fertilizer N application resulted in N loss through nitrous oxide gas emitted from the vegetable fields. Compared with a conventional fertilization (N2) treatment, the cumulative N2O emissions decreased significantly in the growing seasons of four plant species from an nitrogen synergist (a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide and biochar treatments by 34.6% and 40.8%, respectively. However, the effects of biochar on reducing N2O emissions became more obvious than that of dicyandiamide over time. The yield-scaled N2O emissions in consecutive growing seasons for four species increased with an increase in the N fertilizer application rate, and with continuous application of N fertilizer. This was especially true for the high N fertilizer treatment that resulted in a risk of yield-scaled N2O emissions. Generally, the additions of dicyandiamide and biochar significantly decreased yield-scaled N2O-N emissions by an average of 45.9% and 45.7%, respectively, compared with N2 treatment from the consecutive four vegetable seasons. The results demonstrated that the addition of dicyandiamide or biochar in combination with application of a rational amount of N could provide the best strategy for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in vegetable field in south China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and the predictive value of simplified pulmonary embolism severity index (sPESI) in medical inpatients. METHODS A total of 149 consecutive patients with first diagnosed VTE from the medical departments of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2011 and December 2012 were enrolled and followed-up for 24 months. The VTE recurrence rate was calculated and univariate and multivariate cox proportional hazards regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors associated with VTE recurrence. All the patients were evaluated by sPESI, and survival analysis was used to explore its value in predicting VTE recurrence in these medical patients. RESULTS Out of the included 149 patients, 23(15.4%) patients had VTE recurrence during the 2 years' follow-up and median recurrence time was 167 days. The univariate analysis showed bed rest, severe lung disease, nephrotic syndrome, inappropriate anticoagulant therapy, smoking, diabetes, and malignant neoplasm might be associated with VTE recurrence (P=0.043, 0.006, 0.009, 0.032, 0.098, 0.048, 0.021). Among these risk factors, the multivariate analysis revealed severe lung disease, nephrotic syndrome, and malignant neoplasm were the independent risk factors (HR=3.45, 5.67, 3.60; P=0.020, 0.020, 0.047); while for inappropriate anticoagulant therapy, the P value was marginal (HR=3.94, 95% CI: 0.99-15.63, P=0.051). The median sPESI scores of the patients with VTE recurrence was higher than that of the patients without VTE recurrence[1(1, 2) vs 0(0, 1), P=0.001], and patients with sPESI≥1 were associated with 5.57-fold increased risk of VTE recurrence compared with patients with sPESI=0 (95%CI: 1.79-17.30, P=0.001). Survival analysis also showed that the 2-year cumulative VTE recurrence rate of patients with sPESI≥1 was significant higher than that of patients with sPESI=0 (38.4% vs 5.7%, P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS The medical VTE patients have high VTE recurrence risk, and severe lung disease, nephrotic syndrome, malignant neoplasm and inappropriate anticoagulant therapy are important risk factors of VTE recurrence. The sPESI has predictive value for VTE recurrence in medical patients.

Abstract
Mammary epithelial cells (MECs) play an important role in immune responses and inflammatory diseases such as mastitis, which is mainly attributed to the activation of Toll-like receptors and the release of cytokines. However, the overall change of gene expression and biological pathways of MECs to microbial factors stimulation remains unknown. Here, we analyzed the gene expression profile in mouse MECs treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h. Microarray analysis revealed that about 1548 genes differentially expressed, these genes mainly involved in 346 gene ontology terms and 128 molecular pathways, and particularly, some innate immune-associated pathways were significant. By analyzing data for pathway relation network, we prioritized differentially expressed genes with respect to LPS. The importance of changes, indicating that RNA interference-mediated inhibition of two genes identified in this analysis, transforming growth factor beta 1 (Tgf-β1) and platelet-derived growth factor B (Pdgfb), reduced interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor α production respectively, in gene expression was verified. These findings delineate mouse MECs gene response patterns induced by LPS and identify Tgf-β1 and Pdgfb that have been closely related to innate immunity.

Abstract
Flowering-related traits in maize are affected by complex factors and are important for the improvement of cropping systems in the maize zone. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) detected using different materials and methods usually vary. In the present study, 266 maize (Zea mays) F2:3 families and 301 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross between 08-641 (founding parent from southeast China) and Ye478 (founding parent from China) were evaluated for four flowering-related traits, including days to tasseling (DTT), days to pollen shedding (DPS), days to silking (DTS), and anthesis-silking interval. Sixty-six QTLs controlling the target traits were detected in the F2:3 and RIL populations via single environment analysis and joint analysis across all environments (JAAE). The QTLs explained 0.8-13.47% of the phenotypic variation, with 12 QTLs explaining more than 10%. The results of meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis indicated that 41 QTLs could be integrated into 14 MQTLs. One MQTL included 2.9 QTLs, ranging from two to ten QTLs for one to three traits. QTLs, including MQTL1-1 and MQTL9-1, were detected across the F2:3 and RIL populations via SAE and JAAE. Among the MQTLs, nine QTLs were integrated into MQTL9-1 and affected DTT, DPS, and DTS, with the favored allele being derived from 08-641. MQTL3-2 showed high phenotypic variation and was suitable for fine mapping to determine the genetic mechanisms of flowering. MQTL3-2 could be applied to improve inbred lines using marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The effects of Jin-Ying-Tang (JYT) on Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) signalling transduction of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse mammary epithelial cells (MECs) in vitro were examined. Material and Methods: The cytotoxicity of JYT (0.06-62.50 mg/mL) on mouse MECs was determined by MTT assay. The MECs were co-cultured with LPS in the presence or absence of JYT (39.10 μg/mL, 391 μg/mL, 3910 μg/mL). The concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the culture supernatants were detected by ELISA. The mRNA expression of TLR4 and downstream TLR4 signalling molecules such as myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), tumour necrosis factor receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF-6), inhibitor κB (IκB), and nuclear factor κB inducing kinase (NIK) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: The results showed that the IC50 of JYT on MECs was 12.25 mg/mL and JYT could significantly decrease the concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in LPS-stimulated MECs (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88, TRAF-6, IκB, and NIK was also significantly decreased when the LPS-stimulated MECs were cocultured at appropriate concentrations of JYT (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Conclusion: These observations indicate a potential mechanism through which JYT attenuates the systemic inflammatory response to LPS-stimulated mouse mammary epithelial cells by inhibiting the activation of TLR4/MyD88/ TRAF-6/NIK pathway at the mRNA level.
