Abstract
OBJECTIVE Air pollution is affecting the health of millions of people all over the world. The causal correlations of PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide (NOx), as the main fine particulate matter, and coronary heart disease (CHD) are yet to be explored. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been a principal factor in the pathogenesis of CHD. It is an interesting issue to consider whether LDL mediates the effect of air pollutants in CHD pathogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A genome-wide association study (GWAS) on the European population, followed up from 2010 to 2018, involving over 400,000 participants, was based on a land-use regression model. The annual mean concentrations of major air pollutant particles, PM2.5 (n=423,796), PM10 (n=423,796), and NOx (n=456,380), were recorded. The large GWAS database of CHD covered over ten million SNPs with independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). LDL database collected major biochemical blood parameters from over 400,000 patients (n=440,546). Taken together, we conducted independent two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses for the causality between air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, and NOx) and CHD. Multivariate MR analysis was conducted using causal relationships to determine the direct effects of exposure on outcome. The fixed-effect inverse variance weighted (IVW2) method was mainly employed to assess this relationship, with a confidence interval of 95% for the odds ratio (OR). Also, MR-Egger, weighted median, maximum likelihood ratio method, and random-effects inverse variance-weighted (IVW1) method were adopted as supplementary methods. RESULTS Two-sample MR results based on the IVW2 method suggested positive correlations between PM2.5 and CHD [OR 1.875 (1.279-2.748), p=0.001], PM10 and CHD [OR 2.586 (1.479-4.523), p=0.001], and NOx and CHD [OR 2.991 (2.021-4.427), p=4.37E-08]. The direct effect and mediating proportion were calculated using multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR). Lastly, the mediating proportions of LDL in the regulatory roles of PM2.5, PM10, and NOx in CHD were 2.82%, 4.73%, and 9.54%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS PM2.5, PM10, and NOx share direct causal associations with CHD, and LDL performs a mediating role in this pathogenic process. Early prevention against air pollution (such as increasing green areas and reducing large-scale industrial dust emissions) and early lipid-lowering treatment can effectively prevent the occurrence of CHD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Family members of patients hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU) are susceptible to adverse psychological outcomes. However, there is a paucity of studies specifically examining the mental health symptoms in ICU patients' family members with a prior history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. AIM This study aimed to investigate mental health status and its influencing factors of ICU patients' family members with previous COVID-19 infection experience in China. DESIGN Nationwide, cross-sectional cohort of consecutive participants of family members of ICU patients from 10 provinces randomly selected in mainland China conducted between October 2022 and May 2023. METHODS The basic information scale, Self-rating depression scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Impact of Event Scale-Revised, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, Perceived Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson resilience scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire were employed to explore mental health status among participants. RESULTS A total of 463 participants, comprising 156 individuals in Covid-19 family member cohort (infection group) and 307 individuals in control family member cohort (control group), met inclusion criteria. The infection group exhibited significantly higher incidence of composite mental health symptoms compared to control group (P = 0.017). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that being female, engaging in physical/mental labor, residing in rural areas, and having children were identified as risk factors for the development of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, while medical history of surgery was protective factor. A predictive model demonstrated a favorable discriminative ability and excellent calibration. CONCLUSION COVID-19 infection experience regarded as new traumatic stressors worsen mental health status of ICU patients' family members.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycolytic metabolic reprogramming is a phenomenon in which cells undergo altered metabolic patterns during malignant transformation, mainly involving various aspects of glycolysis, electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation, and pentose phosphate pathway. This reprogramming phenomenon can be used as one of the markers of tumorigenesis and development. Pyruvate kinase is the third rate-limiting enzyme in the sugar metabolism process by specifically catalyzing the irreversible conversion of PEP to pyruvate. PURPOSE This study aimed to reveal the critical mediator(s) that regulate glycolytic metabolism reprogramming in gastric cancer and their underlying molecular mechanism and then explore the molecular mechanisms by which LHX9 may be involved in regulating gastric cancer (GC) progression. METHODS Firstly, we downloaded the GC and glycolysis-related microarray datasets from TCGA and MSigDB databases and took the intersection to screen out the transcription factor LHX9 that regulates GC glycolytic metabolic reprogramming. Software packages were used for differential analysis, single gene predictive analysis, and Venn diagram. In addition, an enrichment analysis of the glycolytic pathway was performed. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for LHX9 and PKM2 protein expression in 90 GC patients, and the association between their expressions was evaluated by Spearman's correlation coefficient method. Three human GC cell lines (AGS, NCI-N87, HGC-27) were selected for in vitro experimental validation. Flow cytometry was utilized to determine the stem cell marker CD44 expression status in GCSCs. A sphere formation assay was performed to evaluate the sphere-forming capabilities of GCSCs. In addition, RT-qPCR and Western blot experiments were employed to investigate the tumor stem cell markers OCT4 and SOX2 expression levels in GCSCs. Furthermore, a lentiviral expression vector was constructed to assess the impact of downregulating LHX9 or PKM2 on the glycolytic metabolic reprogramming of GCSCs. The proliferation, migration, and invasion of GCSCs were then detected by CCK-8, EdU, and Transwell assays. Subsequently, the mutual binding of LHX9 and PKM2 was verified using chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual luciferase reporter genes. In vivo experiments were verified by establishing a subcutaneous transplantation tumor model in nude mice, observing the size and volume of tumors in vivo in nude mice, and obtaining fresh tissues for subsequent experiments. RESULTS Bioinformatics analysis revealed that LHX9 might be involved in the occurrence and development of GC through regulating glycolytic metabolism. High LHX9 expression could be used as a reference marker for prognosis prediction of GC patients. Clinical tissue assays revealed that LHX9 and PKM2 were highly expressed in GC tissues. Meanwhile, GC tissues also highly expressed glycolysis-associated protein GLUT1 and tumor cell stemness marker CD44. In vitro cellular assays showed that LHX9 could enhance its activity and induce glycolytic metabolic reprogramming in GCSCs through direct binding to PKM2. In addition, the knockdown of LHX9 inhibited PKM2 activity and glycolytic metabolic reprogramming and suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasive ability of GCSCs. In vivo animal experiments further confirmed that the knockdown of LHX9 could reduce the tumorigenic ability of GCSCs in nude mice by inhibiting PKM2 activity and glycolytic metabolic reprogramming. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that both LHX9 and PKM2 are highly expressed in GCs, and LHX9 may induce the reprogramming of glycolytic metabolism through transcriptional activation of PKM2, enhancing the malignant biological properties of GCSCs and ultimately promoting GC progression.

Abstract
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq) are increasingly used for screening genes involved in carcinogenesis due to their capacity for dissecting cellular heterogeneity. This study aims to reveal the molecular mechanism of the cancer stem cells (CSCs) marker gene CXCR4 in gastric cancer (GC) growth and metastasis through scRNA-seq combined with bulk RNA-seq. GC-related scRNA-seq data were downloaded from the GEO database, followed by UMAP cluster analysis. Non-malignant cells were excluded by the K-means algorithm. Bulk RNA-seq data and clinical sample information were downloaded from the UCSC Xena database. GO and KEGG pathway analyses validated the correlation between genes and pathways. In vitro and in vivo functional assays were used to examine the effect of perturbed CXCR4 on malignant phenotypes, tumorigenesis, and liver metastasis. A large number of highly variable genes were identified in GC tissue samples. The top 20 principal components were selected, and the cells were clustered into 6 cell types. The C4 cell cluster from malignant epithelial cells might be CSCs. CXCR4 was singled out as a marker gene of CSCs. GC patients with high CXCR4 expression had poor survival. Knockdown of CXCR4 inhibited the malignant phenotypes of CSCs in vitro and curtailed tumorigenesis and liver metastasis in nude mice. CSC marker gene CXCR4 may be a key gene facilitating malignant phenotypes of CSCs, which thus promotes tumor growth and liver metastasis of GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a standard treatment for paediatric haematological diseases, is highly associated with bloodstream infection (BSI), which may increase mortality. AIM To explore the risk factors for BSI in paediatric HSCT recipients. METHODS Three English databases and four Chinese databases were searched from inception to March 17th, 2022. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies that enrolled HSCT recipients aged ≤18 years and reported BSI risk factors. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. Using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE), certainty of body of evidence was assessed. FINDINGS Fourteen studies involving 4602 persons were included. The incidences of BSI and associated mortality in paediatric HSCT recipients were approximately 10-50% and 5-15%, respectively. Meta-analysis of all studies revealed that previous BSI before HSCT (relative effect (RE): 2.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-4.34, moderate certainty) and receiving an umbilical cord blood transplant (RE: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.22-1.97, moderate certainty) were probably associated with an increased risk of BSI. Meta-analysis of studies with low risk of bias reassured that previous BSI before HSCT probably increased the risk of BSI (RE: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.19-4.34, moderate certainty), and revealed that steroid use (RE: 2.72; 95% CI: 1.31-5.64, moderate certainty) was likely a risk factor whereas autologous HSCT was probably a protective factor of BSI (RE: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45-0.94, moderate certainty). CONCLUSION These findings could inform the management of paediatric HSCT recipients, helping identify who may benefit from prophylactic antibiotics.

Abstract
Agriculture produces food, fiber and biofuels for the world's growing population, however, agriculture can be a major contributor of nitrogen (N) losses including emissions of ammonia (NH3), nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrate (NO3-) leaching and runoff. A Canadian Agricultural Nitrogen Budget for Reactive N (CANBNr) model was developed to estimate the soil N balance in 3487 soil landscape of Canada polygons from 1981 to 2016. The CANBNr model integrates NH3 emission from fertilizers, manure from housing, storage and field, as well as direct/indirect N2O emissions from fertilizers, manures, crop residues and soil organic matter. The NO3- leaching is estimated based on the residual soil N (RSN) at harvest and drainage derived with the DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model. From 1981 to 2016, the N input from fertilizer and N fixation increased at a greater rate than N removal in harvested crops in all provinces of Canada, resulting in an increase in the RSN and N losses. In 2016, the Prairie provinces had lower N losses (11.7 kg N ha-1) from N2O, NH3 and NO3- compared with 43.2 kg N ha-1 in central Canada, and 76.5 kg N ha-1 in Atlantic Canada. However, the Prairie provinces had 84.3% of the total Canadian farmland (74.3% of the total Canadian N input), while central Canada had 12.9% of Canadian farmland (21.7% of the total Canadian N input). In the Prairie provinces, the total N2O loss from fertilizer N ranged 4.4-8.6 Gg N whereas NH3 loss ranged from 17.1 to 44.6 Gg N and these values were influenced by both emission intensity and total land area. Total N2O losses from manure were highest in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec resulting in 4.8, 4.4, and 3.4 Gg N and NH3 losses from manure were also highest in these 3 provinces at 61.1, 45.2 and 40.4 Gg N, respectively. Nitrate leaching was impacted by drainage volumes, soil type and N inputs. In the non-growing season, NO3- leaching losses (36-yr average) were 63.3 Gg in Ontario and 57.5 Gg N in Quebec compared with 20.8 Gg N for Ontario and 35.5 Gg N for Quebec in the growing season. In contrast, the Prairie provinces showed higher NO3- leaching in the growing season (23.1-37.4 Gg N) than in the non-growing season (10.4-13.7 Gg N). In summary, total fertilizer N increased the most over the 36 years in the Prairies which resulted in increased RSN and N leaching losses that will require further intervention.

BACKGROUND Vitrification of embryos has become the basic means of assisted reproductive technology (ART) therapy in recent years. Concerns have also been raised about the safety of vitrification and the effect of cryopreservation time. Most of the previous studies were on the data within 6 years of cryopreservation. OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of long-term cryopreservation (>6 years) on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research was a single-center, retrospective analysis, including 426 frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Patients who participated in IVF-FET cycles between January 2013 to December 2020 were analyzed. Preferentially matched participants were divided into three groups according to storage time: group A (>72 months), group B (0-3 months, propensity score matching [PSM] according to the age of oocyte retrieval), and group C (0-3 months, PSM according to the age of embryo transfer). RESULTS Our results revealed that there were no significant differences in human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG] positive rate, clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, live birth rate, and neonatal outcomes when the embryo storage duration >72 months. But the proportion of high birth weight was higher in group A (>72 months) when matched according to age at embryo transfer. CONCLUSION The results of our study showed that long-term cryopreservation had no effect on the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of vitrification. The results offer evidence for the safety of using long-term cryopreservation embryos after vitrification. DOI: 10.54680/fr23310110612.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular vesicles (EVs) transport biologically active molecules, and represent a recently identified way of intercellular communication. Recent evidence has also reported that EVs shed by cancer stem cells (CSCs) make a significant contribution to carcinogenesis and metastasis. Here, this study aims to explore the possible molecular mechanism of CSCs-EVs in gastric cancer (GC) by mediating intratumor communication network. METHODS CSCs and non-stem cancer cells (NSCCs) were sorted from GC cells, and EVs were isolated from CSCs. H19 was knocked down in CSCs, and CSCs-EVs or CSCs-EVs containing shRNA-H19 (CSCs-EVs-sh-H19) were co-cultured with NSCCs, followed by evaluation of the malignant behaviors and stemness of NSCCs. Mouse models of GC were established and injected with CSCs-EVs from sh-H19-treated NSCCs in vivo. RESULTS CSCs had notable self-renewal and tumorigenic capacity compared with NSCCs. CSCs promoted the malignant behaviors of NSCCs and expression of stemness marker proteins through secretion of EVs. Inhibited secretion of CSCs-EVs curtailed the tumorigenicity and metastasis of NSCCs in vivo. H19 could be delivered by CSCs-EVs into NSCCs. H19 promoted the malignant behaviors of NSCCs and stemness marker protein expression in vitro along with tumorigenicity and liver metastasis in vivo, which was mechanistically associated with activation of the YAP/CDX2 signaling axis. CONCLUSION Taken together, the present study points to the importance of a novel regulatory axis H19/YAP/CDX2 in carcinogenic and metastatic potential of CSCs-EVs in GC, which may be potential targets for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
1. This study explored the tissue metabolic status and the relationship with inflammation in valgus-valgus deformity (VVD) broilers with increasing age.2. Tissue and blood from VVD and healthy broilers were collected at two, four and five weeks old. A fully automated biochemical analyser, real-time PCR, HE staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect tissue metabolic indexes, mRNA levels of inflammation and apoptosis cytokines in immune organs, histological changes and serum inflammation and immune-related protein contents in VVD broilers.3. The results showed that VVD increased the levels of total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase at five weeks of age, aspartate aminotransferase, urea and creatine kinase in blood at two weeks of age. It upregulated the gene expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, NF-κB and TGF-β and apoptotic factors FAS, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and 9 in immune organs; increased levels of serum proteins TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and decreased levels of serum immunoglobulins IgY and CD3+.4. In addition, with increasing age, IL-10 gene expression gradually increased in the BF and decreased in the spleen.5. In conclusion, VVD broilers have disorders of liver and kidney metabolism, inflammation and apoptosis of immune organs and increased levels of serum inflammatory factor proteins.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical, genetic, and clonality related aspects of individuals with Richter transformation (RT) . Methods: From January 2019 to December 2021, 18 RT patients with diagnoses at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Pukou CLL center) were retrospectively examined. The immunoglobin heavy variable (IGHV) gene usage and IGHV-D-J rearrangement pattern of diagnosed CLL/SLL and transformed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) were compared to determine the clonality relatedness. To investigate the risk factors of RT, Clinical and laboratory data from patients with newly diagnosed CLL/SLL and transformed DLBCL were gathered. Results: The median age of RT was 56.5 (41-75) years old. 17 patients transformed to DLBCL and 1 transformed to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) . Of 17 individuals who had DLBCL transformation, 15 had CLL/SLL-related clonality and 2 had unrelated clonality. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of 11 paired initially diagnosed treatment-naive CLL/SLL and RT DLBCL found that EGR2、TP53 and NOTCH1 were among the most frequently mutated genes both in treatment-naive CLL/SLL and in RT DLBCL. In several cases, specific mutations were gained or lost throughout RT, indicating clonal evolution. Among 10 patients before exposure to BTK inhibitors before RT, four patients acquired BTK mutation. The aforementioned mutations should be considered high-risk variables for transformation; in addition, TP53 and EGR2 mutations could be linked to a poor prognosis following RT in patients receiving a cocktail of new medicines. Conclusion: Most RT DLBCL patients in our center are clonality related (15/17, 88.2% ) and we recommend all qualified centers to evaluate clonality relatedness of RT DLBCL patients. There was some variability in the mutational landscape between DLBCL that had undergone a transformation and initially diagnosed, treatment-naive CLL/SLL. The underlying molecular mechanism of RT needs more research.

Abstract
Extracellular communication within the tumor microenvironment exerts critical functions in tumor progression. Moreover, exosomes are capable of packaging into long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to regulate extracellular communication. We tried to discuss the role of exosomal lncRNA TTN-AS1 and its molecular mechanism on gastric cancer (GC) progression. Bioinformatics analysis depicted increased TTN-AS1 in GC which shared correlation with poor prognosis. Clinical tissue and cellular experiments also confirmed the elevation of TTN-AS1 in GC tissues and cells. GC cell (AGS)-derived Exo could be uptake by NCI-N87 cells to induce malignant features of GC cells. Functionally, TTN-AS1 could upregulate ZEB1 expression by binding to miR-499a-5p. In addition, in vitro experiments demonstrated that ZEB1 targeted and activated CDX2 transcription and promoted CDX2 expression; silencing CDX2 inhibited malignant phenotypes of AGS and NCI-N87 cells. Furthermore, Exo-TTN-AS1 promoted GC cell growth and migration by promoting CDX2 expression. Exosomal TTN-AS1 from GC cells could also promote metastasis of GC in vivo. In conclusion, our findings provided evidence describing that exosomes derived from GC cells transferred TTN-AS1 to GC cells, which aggravate GC through the miR-499a-5p/ZEB1/CDX2 axis. 1. Exo derived from GC cells promotes the growth and metastasis of GC cells by carrying TTN-AS1. 2. TTN-AS1 acts as a ceRNA to adsorb miR-499a-5p to regulate the expression of ZEB1. 3. ZEB1 targets and activates CDX2 transcription. 4. GC cell-derived Exo-TTN-AS1 enhances the growth and metastasis of GC cell xenografts in vivo.

Abstract
Tooth agenesis is a common structural birth defect in humans that results from failure of morphogenesis during early tooth development. The homeobox transcription factor Msx1 and the canonical Wnt signaling pathway are essential for "bud to cap" morphogenesis and are causal factors for tooth agenesis. Our recent study suggested that Msx1 regulates Wnt signaling during early tooth development by suppressing the expression of Dkk2 and Sfrp2 in the tooth bud mesenchyme, and it demonstrated partial rescue of Msx1-deficient molar teeth by a combination of DKK inhibition and genetic inactivation of SFRPs. In this study, we found that Sostdc1/Wise, another secreted Wnt antagonist, is involved in regulating the odontogenic pathway downstream of Msx1. Whereas Sostdc1 expression in the developing tooth germ was not increased in Msx1-/- embryos, genetic inactivation of Sostdc1 rescued maxillary molar, but not mandibular molar, morphogenesis in Msx1-/- mice with full penetrance. Since the Msx1-/-;Sostdc1-/- embryos exhibited ectopic Dkk2 expression in the developing dental mesenchyme, similar to Msx1-/- embryos, we generated and analyzed tooth development in Msx1-/-;Dkk2-/- double and Msx1-/-;Dkk2-/-;Sostdc1-/- triple mutant mice. The Msx1-/-;Dkk2-/- double mutants showed rescued maxillary molar morphogenesis at high penetrance, with a small percentage also exhibiting mandibular molars that transitioned to the cap stage. Furthermore, tooth development was rescued in the maxillary and mandibular molars, with full penetrance, in the Msx1-/-;Dkk2-/-;Sostdc1-/- mice. Together, these data reveal 1) that a key role of Msx1 in driving tooth development through the bud-to-cap transition is to control the expression of Dkk2 and 2) that modulation of Wnt signaling activity by Dkk2 and Sostdc1 plays a crucial role in the Msx1-dependent odontogenic pathway during early tooth morphogenesis.

Abstract
It has been manifested that tumor-derived exosomes (Exos) can deliver long noncoding RNAs to participate in gastric cancer (GC) progression. In this research, we intended to dissect out whether tumor-derived Exos carried LINC01091 to afflict the growth and metastasis of GC. GC tissues and human GC cells were attained for RNA and protein quantification. Accordingly, LINC01091, ELF4, and CDX2 were abundant but microRNA (miR)-128-3p was underexpressed in GC tissues and cells. Exos were isolated from LINC01091-silenced GC cells (Exo-sh-LINC01091). GC cells were co-cultured with Exo-sh-LINC01091 or manipulated with miR mimic, inhibitor, or overexpressing or silencing plasmids. Exo-sh-LINC01091, LINC01091, ELF4 or CDX2 silencing, or miR-128-3p upregulation augmented GC cell proliferative, migrating, and invasive properties. In addition, luciferase, RNA pull-down, and ChIP assays offered evidence supporting the mechanism that LINC01091 bound to miR-128-3p that inversely targeted ELF4, and ELF4 transcriptionally activated CDX2 by binding to its promoter in GC cells. Moreover, Exo-sh-LINC01091 modulated the miR-128-3p/ELF4/CDX2 axis and restrained the tumorigenesis and metastasis in vivo. Conclusively, LINC01091 shuttled by tumor-derived Exos might expedite GC development by activating the ELF4/CDX2 axis via miR-128-3p downregulation.

Abstract
In the seawater near Taishan Nuclear Power Station, Zooplankton community composition and abundance, the biomass of major taxa, vertical distribution pattern, together with several environmental factors were investigated to evaluate the variation tendency as the seasons change. The structure characteristics of the zooplankton community were analyzed by Margalef species richness (d), Shannon-wiener species diversity index (H’), Pielou evenness index(J’), zooplankton dominant (Y), and dominant species replacement rate (R). There are 48 species within 11 classes of zooplankton identified, including 32 species of copepods. Zooplankton species richness changed obviously in the four seasons, Spring saw the highest (8010.00 ind.m-3), followed by winter (5100.00 ind.m-3), autumn (1713.75 ind.m-3), and summer (1196.25 ind.m-3). Similar trends were observed for the wet biomass, which was highest in spring (215.90 mg.m-3), followed by winter (181.70 mg.m-3), summer (78.56 mg.m-3), and autumn (24.69 mg.m-3), which gave an annual average of 125.21 mg.m-3. The results indicate that the abundance and biomass in spring were significantly higher than those in other seasons. Altogether 8 dominant species were identified along the whole year: Acrocalanmus gibber, Bestiolina amoyensis, Paracalanus parvus, Acartia danae, Mesocyclops leuckarti, Noctiluca scientillans, Penilla avirostris, and Lucifer penicilliger. The annual average Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Margalef diversity index, Pielou evenness index were 1.75, 1.83, and 0.74, respectively. The effects of environmental factors on the zooplankton community were studied by R and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). According to Pearson correlation analysis and canonical correspondence analysis, the most important environmental factors influencing the changes of zooplankton species composition, abundance and distribution were water temperature, salinity, and pH in the whole year.

Abstract
Individual identification of horses for pedigree verification and registration is important for the sustainable development of the horse industry. Horse individual identification and parentage tests commonly use the 17 short tandem repeats (STRs) recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) and the locus LEX33. While many multiplex STR typing systems have been established for the horse, a sex determining marker is usually absent, and none of them can simultaneously detect all 17 ISAG recommended loci and the locus LEX33. Here, we present a 19-plex STR typing system that contains the 17 ISAG recommend loci, the locus LEX33 and amelogenin as sex determining loci. The results of our sensitivity, species specificity, stutter analysis and population data analysis, indicate that this system is a specific, sensitive, and robust tool for the identification of individuals, parentage testing and genetic research in the horse.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose causes acute liver injury (ALI). Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential coenzyme, and NAD+ is oxidized type which synthesized from nicotinamide (NAM). The present study aimed to investigate the role of NAD+ in ALI and protective property of NAM. The mice were subjected to different doses APAP. After 8 hours, the serum activities of alaninetransaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), the hepatic NAD+ level and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) expression were determined. Then, the mice were pretreated with NAM (800 mg/kg), the hepatoprotective effects and the key antioxidative molecules were evaluated. Our findings indicated that APAP resulted in remarkable NAD+ depletion in a dose-dependent manner accompanied by NAMPT downregulation, and NAM pretreatment significantly elevated the NAD+ decline due to upregulation of NAMPT. Moreover, the downregulated Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1), upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its translocation activation after NAM administration were confirmed, which were in accordance with improved superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) levels. Finally, NAM dramatically exhibited hepatoprotective effects by reducing the liver index and necrotic area. This study has suggested that APAP impairs liver NAD+ level and NAM is able to improve hepatic NAD+ to activate antioxidant pathway against APAP-induced ALI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the relative expression of long intergenic non-protein coding ribonucleic acid (LINC) 01116 in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and cells and analyze the correlations of LINC01116 expression with the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients and investigate the biological functions of LINC01116 via in vitro experiments. PATIENTS AND METHODS The quantitative Real Time Fluorescence-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect the relative expression level of LINC01116 in 73 cases of tissues and cells in GC patients. The patients were divided into LINC01116 high expression group and LINC01116 low expression group, and the correlations of LINC01116 with patient's pathological characteristics were statistically analyzed. In vitro experiments [cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry] were adopted to investigate the influences of LINC01116 on the biological functions of GC cells. RESULTS According to the results of qRT-PCR, the expression of LINC01116 was upregulated in 54 out of 73 cases of tissues (fold change >1), and it was upregulated in GC cells compared with that in the normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells (GES-1). The statistical analysis manifested that the highly expressed LINC01116 was positively correlated with the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (p=0.008), lymph node metastasis (p=0.005), and depth of invasion (p=0.007) of the GC patients. The patients with high expression of LINC01116 in the GC tissues had a shorter survival time than those with low expression (p=0.017). After interference in the expression of LINC01116, it was shown in CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay that the proliferative capacity of the cells was decreased. The results of flow cytometry indicated that the cell cycle was arrested at the G1/G0 phase, and the apoptosis rate was increased. CONCLUSIONS LINC01116 is highly expressed in GC tissues and cells, and highly expressed LINC01116 indicates poor prognosis of the patients, promotes the proliferation, and inhibits the apoptosis of GC cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE These were two folds: at first, to develop an automatic grading system specifically dedicated to some facial signs of men, similar to the one previously validated on women of different ethnic ancestry and second, to assess its potential in detecting and grading the possible impacts of a severe aerial urban pollution on some facial signs of Chinese men. METHODS In both studies, selfie images were obtained from differently aged men. Nine facial signs were automatically graded through a specific A.I-based algorithm and clinically assessed by a panel of experts and dermatologists. Selfie pictures were taken from individual smartphones of variable optical properties. The first study, designed for developing an automatic grading system, involved three comparable cohorts of men from three different regional ancestries (African, Asian, Caucasian, 110 each) the selfie images of which were acquired under four different lighting conditions. As a second use case study, the facial signs of two cohorts of Chinese men (101 and 100, each), differently aged, regularly exposed to very different aerial urban pollution conditions (UP) were analysed by the same algorithm, selfies being taken under only one lighting condition. RESULTS -The new automatic grading system of facial signs suits well to men, showing comparable results than that the one dedicated to women and provides data in close agreement with experts' assessments. -In both cases (expert's or automatic methodology), the accuracy of the scores appeared ethnic-dependent. -The applied case confirmed previous results obtained clinically, that is, that many facial signs were found of an increased severity among men exposed to a severe urban pollution, as compared to those living in a less polluted city. -In both studies, statistical agreements between the automatic grading system and expert's assessments were reached. In some facial signs, the automatic grading system seems offering a slightly better accuracy than the assessments made by the experts. CONCLUSION Apart from some minor limitations, this A.I-based automatic grading system, free from human intervention, performed as well as the one previously developed in women, in close agreement with expert's assessments. In epidemiological studies, this system offers an easy, fast, affordable and confidential approach in the detection and quantification of male facial signs.

Abstract
Gastric cancer remains one of the most dangerous cancers, bringing suffering and economic burden to people worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exhibit great potentials for targeted therapy of various cancers. In this investigation, we tested mechanisms by which LINC01021 may regulate gastric cancer progression. We collected gastric cancer tissues and procured cell lines to explore the potential factors by which LINC01021 had effects on angiogenesis, invasion, and migration, by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Transwell assay, and western blot analysis. Relationships among LINC01021, Caudal-type homeobox 2 (CDX2), and KISS1 were validated by dual-luciferase gene reporter, RNA pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Additionally, a murine model was developed to further explore the impact of LINC01021 on tumors in vivo. LINC01021 was upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cells. LINC01021 regulated KISS1 through CDK2, which promoted phosphorylation and nuclear export in CDX2. Inhibition of LINC01021 suppressed the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer. Further, silencing LINC01021 exerted an inhibitory effect on cancer cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis by promoting the binding between CDX2 and KISS1, while inhibiting that between CDK2 and CDX2. Taken altogether, high LINC01021 expression in gastric cancer promotes malignant cell migration and angiogenesis by downregulation of KISS1 through CDK2-mediated CDX2 phosphorylation.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Does hsa_circ_001653 influence the development of gastric cancer (GC) and if so how? What is the main finding and its importance? Bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of differentially expressed hsa_circ_001653 in GC and adjacent normal tissues, and this was strongly related to the pathology of patients with GC. Knockdown of hsa_circ_001653 suppressed the proliferation, invasion and migration of GC cells, while inducing cell apoptosis via miR-377-mediated NR6A1 inhibition. The effect of hsa_circ_001653 and miR-377 on tumour growth in GC was further confirmed in vivo. ABSTRACT Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of human mortality through malignant tumours. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified as binding to microRNAs (miRNAs) to modulate the progression of tumours. This study explores the role of hsa_circ_001653, a newly identified circRNA, in the development of GC. hsa_circ_001653 expression was measured in 86 paired normal and tumour tissues surgically resected from GC patients. Cross-talk between hsa_circ_001653 and microRNA-377 (miR-377)/nuclear receptor subfamily 6, group A, member 1 (NR6A1) was assessed using bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, Ago2 immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis. A series of functional experiments were carried out to elucidate the role of hsa_circ_001653 in GC cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis, and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Nude mice were inoculated with GC cells for in vivo analysis. hsa_circ_001653 was found to be an up-regulated circRNA in GC tissues and cells. Down-regulation of hsa_circ_001653 inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while stimulating cell apoptosis. hsa_circ_001653 was found to bind to miR-377, which targeted NR6A1 and repressed its expression. Inhibition of miR-377 and overexpression of NR6A1 restored the proliferation, migration and invasion in GC cells lacking hsa_circ_001653. Furthermore, inhibition of hsa_circ_001653 attenuated tumour growth in nude mice inoculated with GC cells. Collectively, the demonstration that hsa_circ_001653 exerts its anticancer effects by regulating the miR-377-NR6A1 axis increases our understanding of gastric cancer pathophysiology. The findings uncover new potential therapeutic targets for GC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the effects of low-dose atropine on the choroidal thickness (CT) of young children in Shanghai, China, as well as the ocular biometrics of myopic patients. METHODS A total of 59 eyes of 35 myopic children had subfoveal CT and ocular biometry measurements taken before and after 2weeks, 4weeks, and 8weeks of treatment with 0.01% atropine. All eyes were measured using swept-source optical coherence tomography. CT and changes in it were also recorded. RESULTS The choroid exhibited significant and continuous thickening under the fovea after patients were treated with 0.01% atropine. The magnitude of change in CT varied with the location and with the duration of treatment. The greatest change was observed in the fovea. There was no significant relationship between changes in subfoveal CT and axial length. CONCLUSIONS Using 0.01% atropine eye drops significantly increased CT in eyes of young myopic children, by variable magnitude depending upon location.

Abstract
During the mandibular condylar growth, the absorption of calcified cartilage matrix induced by osteoclasts is crucial for the continuous endochondral osteogenesis. Meanwhile, recent studies showed that subchondral bone resided within the low-oxygen microenvironment, and our previous study revealed that hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1α (HIF-1α) promoted osteoclastogenesis under hypoxia. However, whether HIF-1α regulates the function of osteoclasts in the mandibular condyle cartilage remains elusive. Our study indicated that severe deformity of the mandibular condyle was displayed in 10-wk-old osteoclast-specific HIF-1α conditional knockout (CKO) mice, accompanied by shortened length of condylar process and disorganized fibrocartilage. In 1-, 2-, and 4-wk-old CKO mice, the size of the hypertrophic layer and chondrocytic layer was significantly thickened. In the chondrocytic layer, chondrocytes were atrophied, showing a form of apoptosis in 4-wk-old CKO mice. Furthermore, an increase in the thickness of the fibrous and proliferating layer was observed in 10-wk-old CKO mice, as well as a significant decrease in that of the chondrocytic and hypertrophic chondrocyte layers. Interestingly, the articular surface of the condylar process abnormally presented a horizontal concave shape, and a disk-like acellular connective tissue appeared. In addition, genetic ablation of HIF-1α blunted cartilage matrix loss by subchondral osteoclast deficiency, resulting in a high subchondral bone mass phenotype, accompanied with a decreased number of blood vessels, alkaline phosphatase staining, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Mechanistically, the number of osteoclasts in the center of the condyle in CKO mice was significantly reduced by attenuated expression of adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling. These findings reveal a novel influence of HIF-1α function in osteoclasts on maintenance of osteoclast-induced resorption of calcified cartilage matrix via AMPK signaling, as well as subchondral bone formation through VEGF-dependent angiogenesis in bone marrow.

Abstract
The equatorial Congo has been recognized as the most active lightning chimney region in the Globe. Although the perturbation of tropospheric thunderstorms on the lower ionosphere has been noticed in the middle latitudes through their transient lightning electric fields or convective gravity waves, the effects on equatorial ionosphere and the horizontal extent of this perturbation remains a mystery because of the difficulties in extracting the effects due to the sporadic nature of the equatorial ionosphere. Here we present observational results showing solid evidence of deviations in ionospheric total electron content (TEC) and its direction of propagation associated with thunderstorms using the method of polynomial filtering, by utilizing the TEC measured from equatorial Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver stations along the West African region-Congo Basin. The TEC deviations due to the thunderstorms were found to be mostly propagated in a specific direction from the point of the event, with the highest absolute peak TEC at ~±1.5 TECUs. The internal dynamics of the equatorial ionosphere have been found to be suppressed by large thunderstorm effects during the daytime, with negligible impact at night.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Methods: In this multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial, 92 preterm infants with gestation age ≤30 weeks and diagnosed with NRDS were enrolled in 8 level Ⅲ neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region from 1(st) July 2017 to 31(st) December 2018. They were randomly assigned to minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) group or endotracheal intubation surfactant administration (EISA) group according to random number generated by computer. Infants in both groups received calf pulmonary surfactant preparation at a dose of 70-100 mg/kg. The data of demography, perinatal situation, medication administration, complications, clinical outcomes in the two groups were compared with Chi-square test, Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Fisher's exact test. Results: Among the 92 preterm infants, 53 were males, 39 were females; 47 were in the MISA group (25 males), and 45 were in the EISA group (28 males). The gestational age and birth weight were (29.5±1.2) weeks and (1 271±242) g in all patients, (29.5±1.4) weeks and (1 285±256) g in the MISA group, and (29.6±0.9) weeks and (1 255±227) g in the EISA group. The duration of surfactant infusion and the length of whole procedure in the MISA group were significantly longer than that in the EISA group (60 (18, 270) s vs. 50 (30, 60) s, Z=3.009, P=0.003; 90 (60, 300) s vs. 60 (44, 270) s, Z=3.365, P=0.001). For the outcomes, the incidence of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) were lower in the MISA group than in the EISA group (36% (17/47) vs. 67% (30/45), χ(2)=8.556, P=0.003; 26% (12/47) vs. 47% (21/45), χ(2)=4.464, P=0.035). Conclusions: Minimally invasive surfactant administration is applicable in preterm infants ≤30 weeks gestational age with NRDS. Although the length of whole procedure is longer than route endotracheal administration, the benefit of decreasing the incidences of hsPDA and BPD outweighs this demerit.

Abstract
Cleft palate is among the most common structural birth defects in humans. Previous studies have shown that mutations in FOXF2 are associated with cleft palate in humans and mice and that Foxf2 acts in a Shh-Foxf-Fgf18-Shh molecular network controlling palatal shelf growth. In this study, we combined RNA-seq and ChIP-seq approaches to identify direct transcriptional target genes mediating Foxf2 function in palate development in mice. Of 155 genes that exhibited Foxf2-dependent expression in the developing palatal mesenchyme, 88 contained or were located next to Foxf2-binding sites. Through in situ hybridization analyses, we demonstrate that expression of many of these target genes, including multiple genes encoding transcription factors and several encoding extracellular matrix-modifying proteins, were specifically upregulated in the posterior region of palatal shelves in Foxf2-/- mouse embryos. Foxf2 occupancy at many of these putative target loci, including Fgf18, in the developing palatal tissues was verified by ChIP-polymerase chain reaction analyses. One of the Foxf2 target genes, Chst2, encodes a carbohydrate sulfotransferase integral to glycosaminoglycan sulfation. Correlating with ectopic Chst2 expression, Foxf2-/- embryos a exhibited region-specific increase in sulfated keratan sulfate and a concomitant reduction in chondroitin sulfate accumulation in the posterior palatal mesenchyme. However, expression of the core protein of versican, a major chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan important in palatal shelf morphogenesis, was increased, whereas expression of collagen I was reduced in the corresponding region of the palatal mesenchyme. These results indicate that, in addition to regulating palatal shelf growth through the Fgf18-Shh signaling network, Foxf2 controls palatal shelf morphogenesis through regulating expression of multiple transcription factors as well as through directly controlling the synthesis and processing of extracellular matrix components in the palatal mesenchyme. Our ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data sets provide an excellent resource for comprehensive understanding of the molecular network controlling palate development.

Abstract
Objective To establish accurate and rapid methods to identify four new synthetic cannabinoids (JWH-203, JWH-122, 5F-APINACA and AB-CHMINACA) in blood samples. Methods The whole blood samples were extracted by acetonitrile and methanol, screened by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) then confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used for quantitative analysis. Results The GC-MS method needed 21 min to complete the analysis, while the LC-MS/MS method needed 5 min. The AB-CHMINACA, JWH-203, 5F-APINACA and JWH-122 all used quasi molecular ion peak as a parent ion. The precursor-product ion combinations were m/z 357.4→312.2, m/z 340.2→125.0, m/z 384.1→135.1 and m/z 356.4→169.2. The four synthetic cannabinoids in blood samples had good linearity in the 1-250 ng/mL mass concentration range (r>0.99). The limits of detection (LODs) were in the range of 0.1-0.5 ng/mL, the recovery rate was 85.4%-95.2%, the RSD less than 10.0%, and the matrix effect was 80.3%-92.8%. Conclusion The GC-MS and LC-MS/MS chromatographic behaviors and mass spectrometry analysis information of four synthetic cannabinoids were obtained in this study, and the possible causes of differences in chromatographic behaviors were discussed preliminarily. Therefore this study has a suggestive effect on judging the development trend of synthetic cannabinoids. This method can be used for rapid identification of four synthetic cannabinoids in blood, which can provide reference for identification of new synthetic cannabinoids when they are proliferating at present.

Abstract
Cleft palate is a common major birth defect resulting from disruption of palatal shelf growth, elevation, or fusion during fetal palatogenesis. Whereas the molecular mechanism controlling palatal shelf elevation is not well understood, a prevailing hypothesis is that region-specific accumulation of hyaluronan, a predominant extracellular glycosaminoglycan in developing palatal mesenchyme, plays a major role in palatal shelf elevation. However, direct genetic evidence for a requirement of hyaluronan in palate development is still lacking. In this study, we show that Has2, 1 of 3 hyaluronan synthases in mammals, plays a major role in hyaluronan synthesis in the neural crest-derived craniofacial mesenchyme during palatogenesis in mice. We analyzed developmental defects caused by tissue-specific inactivation of Has2 throughout the cranial neural crest lineage or specifically in developing palatal or mandibular mesenchyme, respectively, using Wnt1-Cre, Osr2-Cre, and Hand2-Cre transgenic mice. Inactivation of Has2 either throughout the neural crest lineage or specifically in the developing palatal mesenchyme caused reduced palatal shelf size and increased palatal mesenchyme cell density prior to the time of normal palatal shelf elevation. Whereas both Has2f/f;Wnt1-Cre and Has2f/f;Osr2-Cre mutant mice exhibit cleft palate at complete penetrance, the Has2f/f; Wnt1-Cre fetuses showed dramatically reduced mandible size and complete failure of palatal shelf elevation, whereas Has2f/f;Osr2-Cre fetuses had normal mandibles and delayed palatal shelf elevation. All Has2f/f;Hand2-Cre pups showed reduced mandible size and about 50% of them had cleft palate with disruption of palatal shelf elevation. Results from explant culture assays indicate that disruption of palatal shelf elevation in Has2f/f;Hand2-Cre mutant fetuses resulted from physical obstruction by the malformed mandible and tongue. Together, these data indicate that hyaluronan plays a crucial intrinsic role in palatal shelf expansion and timely reorientation to the horizontal position above the tongue as well as an important role in mandibular morphogenesis that secondarily affects palatal shelf elevation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Depression and acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are significant public health challenges. Patients with ACS often experience depression, which adversely affects prognosis. Low-cost, sustainable, and effective service models that integrate depression care into the management of ACS patients to reduce depression and improve ACS outcomes are critically needed.
Purpose
I-CARE study is a multi-center, randomised clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy of an 11-month integrated care (IC) intervention compared to usual care (UC) in the management of ACS patients.
Methods
The I-CARE RCT was conducted between October 2014 and March 2018 in 16 rural Chinese hospitals. A total of 4041 patients with ACS were consecutively enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to an IC intervention consisting of nurse-led risk factor management, group-based counseling supplemented by individual problem solving therapy and antidepressant medications as needed, or UC. The primary outcome was change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores from baseline to 6 and 12 months. Secondary outcomes included incidence of major adverse events (MAEs) after discharge, quality of life (EQ5D), and adherence to ACS secondary prevention medications. Data analysis used a multilevel mixed-effects model with hospital-level and subject-level random-effect intercepts and hospital-level random slope incorporated to adjust for clustering effect. Primary analyses followed the intent-to-treat principle.
Results
The mean age of the patients was 61±10 years and 63% were men; however, only 3.3% were classified as depressed based upon a cutoff of ≥10 on the PHQ-9, and 26.9% had PHQ-9 scores between 5 to 9 at the baseline. There were no significant differences in patients' clinical characteristics between IC and UC groups. Changes in PHQ-9 scores from baseline to 6- and 12-months did not differ between treatment groups (−1.47 in IC group vs −1.40 in UC group; adjusted mean difference, −0.04; 95% CI, −0.17 to 0.08 at 6-months; −1.62 in IC group vs −1.54 in UC group; adjusted mean difference, −0.06; 95% CI: −0.19 to 0.06 at 12-months).The risk of MAEs after discharge between IC and UC groups also did not differ significantly (42.1% vs 43.1%; p=0.307).
Conclusions
Results from the I-CARE trial showed that a nurse-coordinated ACS and depression IC intervention did not reduce depression or improve clinical outcomes among patients with ACS compared to usual care controls. The low prevalence of depression was unexpected and may have minimized the potential added benefits of the IC intervention on depression and clinical outcomes compared to UC.

Abstract
1. A previous whole-genome association analysis has identified the motilin receptor gene (MLNR), which regulates gastrointestinal motility and gastric emptying, as a candidate gene related to chicken growth.2. MLNR mRNA was expressed in all tissues tested, and the expression level in digestive tissues was greater than in other tissues. Expression levels in the pancreas, duodenum and glandular stomach at day old and one, two and three weeks of age indicated a possible correlation with the digestive system. This suggested that the MLNR gene plays a central role in gastrointestinal tract function and affects the growth and development of chickens. Moreover, there was a significant difference in expression in the glandular stomach tissue between Ross 308 and Gushi chickens at six weeks of age.3. Re-sequencing revealed an 86-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism in the downstream region of the MLNR gene. The mutation locus was genotyped in 2,261 individuals from nine different chicken breeds. MLNR expression levels in the glandular stomach of chickens with DD genotypes were greater than those in chickens with the ID and II genotypes. The DD genotype was the most dominant genotype in commercial broiler's (Ross 308 and Arbor Acres broilers), and the D allele frequency in these breeds exceeded 91%. The deletion mutation tended towards fixation in commercial broilers.4. Association with growth and carcass traits analysed in a Gushi-Anka F2 intercrossed population, showed that the DD genotype was significantly associated with the greatest growth and carcass trait values, whereas values associated with the II genotype were the lowest in the F2 reciprocal cross chickens.5. The results suggest that the mutation is strongly associated with growth related traits and it is likely to be useful for marker-assisted selection of chickens.

Abstract
1. Generating a robust egg albumen is one of the major factors contributing to interior egg quality owing to its nutritive value and superior appearance. However, the genetic factors regulating the proportion of thick albumen are poorly understood. 2. In this study, 1330 eggs were collected from 450 Rhode Island White layers, aged 40 weeks, to measure egg compositional traits for three successive days. The restricted maximum likelihood method was applied to estimate genetic parameters for the thick-to-thin albumen ratio and other egg compositional traits. A univariate animal model was fitted to calculate heritability for each trait. 3. The heritabilities of egg weight, yolk weight, albumen height, Haugh units, percentages of yolk, thick albumen, thin albumen and the thick-to-thin albumen ratio were 0.32, 0.34, 0.28, 0.47, 0.61, 0.39, 0.31, and 0.45, respectively. The percentage of thick albumen was negatively correlated genetically with all traits, and percentage of thin albumen was negatively correlated genetically with all traits except for Haugh units. The thick-to-thin albumen ratio was positively correlated genetically with egg weight, albumen height and Haugh units, with correlations ranging from 0.21 to 0.54. 4. The results indicated that the percentage of thick albumen and the thick-to-thin albumen ratio were found to be moderately to highly heritable, and selection for the thick-to-thin albumen ratio could be conducive to the improvement of egg albumen quality.

Abstract
Glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase-like (QPCTL) is an isoenzyme of glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase (QPCT). QPCTL and QPCT catalyze the formation of N-terminal modified pyroglutamate-fractalkine and the chemokine CCL2. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between insertions/deletions in the chicken QPCTL promoter region with growth traits in chickens. We first detected two insertion/deletion variants of QPCTL via whole-genome resequencing analysis of DNA samples from Xichuan chickens. A total of 1896 individuals from 12 breeds were genotyped for 52- and 224-bp insertions/deletions. We found two novel insertions/deletions in the promoter region of the chicken QPCTL gene and studied their association with chicken body weight and carcass traits. Our findings show that QPCTL can be a molecular marker for chicken genetics and breeding programs.

Abstract
SIX1 and SIX2 encode closely related transcription factors of which disruptions have been associated with distinct craniofacial syndromes, with mutations in SIX1 associated with branchiootic syndrome 3 (BOS3) and heterozygous deletions of SIX2 associated with frontonasal dysplasia defects. Whereas mice deficient in Six1 recapitulated most of the developmental defects associated with BOS3, mice lacking Six2 function had no obvious frontonasal defects. We show that Six1 and Six2 exhibit partly overlapping patterns of expression in the developing mouse embryonic frontonasal, maxillary, and mandibular processes. We found that Six1 -/- Six2 -/- double-mutant mice were born with severe craniofacial deformity not seen in the Six1 -/- or Six2 -/- single mutants, including skull bone agenesis, midline facial cleft, and syngnathia. Moreover, whereas Six1 -/- mice exhibited partial transformation of maxillary zygomatic bone into a mandibular condyle-like structure, Six1 -/-Six2 +/- mice exhibit significantly increased penetrance of the maxillary malformation. In addition to ectopic Dlx5 expression at the maxillary-mandibular junction as recently reported in E10.5 Six1 -/- embryos, the E10.5 Six1 -/- Six2 +/- embryos showed ectopic expression of Bmp4, Msx1, and Msx2 messenger RNAs in the maxillary-mandibular junction. Genetically inactivating 1 allele of either Ednra or Bmp4 significantly reduced the penetrance of maxillary malformation in both Six1 -/- and Six1 -/- Six2 +/- embryos, indicating that Six1 and Six2 regulate both endothelin and bone morphogenetic protein-4 signaling pathways to pattern the facial structures. Furthermore, we show that neural crest-specific inactivation of Six1 in Six2 -/- embryos resulted in midline facial cleft and frontal bone agenesis. We show that Six1 -/- Six2 -/- embryos exhibit significantly reduced expression of key frontonasal development genes Alx1 and Alx3 as well as increased apoptosis in the developing frontonasal mesenchyme. Together, these results indicate that Six1 and Six2 function partly redundantly to control multiple craniofacial developmental processes and play a crucial neural crest cell-autonomous role in frontonasal morphogenesis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the peripheral small airway dysfunction differences between idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Methods: Impulse oscillmetory system testing (IOS) and pulmonary function testing (PFT) were performed in IPAH and CTEPH patients and 30 healthy control group. We also carried out a subgroup analysis depending on their medical history of airway diseases. Results: We included 42 IPAH and 47 CTEPH patients (with or without airways disease: 8 vs. 34 and 17 vs. 34, respectively). Compared with CTEPH patients, IPAH patients were younger but had more serious pulmonary vessel resistance and mean pulmonary arterial resistance. Compared with IPAH patients, CTEPH patients had significant impaired peripheral small airway dysfunction with decreased of MEF(50) (% pred), MMEF(75/25) evaluated by PFT and R5-R20, Δ R5-R20 and AX measured by IOS [10.6(2.0, 33.0) vs. 2.5(-5.0, 16.5); 22.1(14.0, 32.6) vs. 15.5 (7.0, 23.2); 7.64(4, 18.6) vs. 6(3, 11) respectively, all P<0.05]. Subgroup analysis revealed there were no significant peripheral small dysfunction differences in IPAH patients with or without airway diseases. CTEPH patients had a higher proportion of airway diseases and more serious peripheral dysfunction than IPAH patients with airway diseases. Compared with control healthy group, peripheral airway dysfunction was more obvious even in IPAH and CTEPH patients without airway diseases. Conclusion: Compared with IPAH, CTEPH patients were older, but had better hemodynamics and a higher proportion of airway diseases. The peripheral airway dysfunction were more serious in CTEPH patients without airway diseases than IPAH patients without airway diseases and healthy controls group.
