Abstract
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a potential multisystemic disease in the middle and late pregnancy. Although its precise etiology and pathogenesis remain unknown, it is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in both pregnant women and newborns. This study explored the effects of the miR-378a-3p/CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 3 (CMTM3) upon the trophoblast biological functions in PE. METHODS The placental pathology of PE were identified by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and miR-378a-3p expression in placental tissues of PE was verified by RT-qPCR. Trophoblast cells (HTR-8/SVneo and JEG-3) were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, flow cytometry, scratch assay, and Transwell assay were carried out to measure cell viability, apoptosis, migratory and invasive capacities, respectively. Western blot was performed to determine the expression levels of the cell migration-related proteins. The binding of miR-378a-3p to CMTM3 was verified through a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. RESULTS miR-378a-3p expression levels were down-regulated in placental tissues and primary trophoblast cells from women with PE compared to the control group. The overexpression of miR-378a-3p promoted the capabilities of LPS-treated trophoblast cells to proliferate, migrate and invade. In contrast, it impeded cell apoptosis, promoted matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 expression and inhibiting TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 expression. Regarding the molecular mechanism, miR-378a-3p was chosen as the target to modulate the expression level of CMTM3. CMTM3 expression was increased in placental tissues and primary trophoblast cells from women with PE compared to the control group. CMTM3 overexpression could partially neutralize the effects of the overexpressed miR-378a-3p on trophoblast cell function and the expression levels of migration-associated proteins. CONCLUSION Our study provides a foundation for miRNA-targeted therapy for preeclampsia by establishing for the first time a potential role for the miR-378a-3p/CMTM3 axis in regulating trophoblast cell activities by altering the expression of migration-related proteins.

Abstract
Uterine rupture and postterm pregnancy pose a number of life-threatening complications to both mother and child, including severe intra-abdominal bleeding and peritonitis, birth injury, hypoxia, and fetal loss. This report presents a rare case of a 20-year-old female experiencing fetal demise at 60 weeks of pregnancy, with uterine rupture and bone tissue discharge from her vagina without severe intra-abdominal bleeding and peritonitis. The mild clinical course despite complete uterine rupture was due to the firm adhesion of the amniotic sac to the uterus caused by inflammation. The adhesion of the intestines to the rupture site prevented dehiscence of the ruptured wound. Suppuration and bone tissue discharge relieved the pressure on the patient's abdominal cavity and prevented subsequent occurrence of severe peritonitis. Radiologists mistakenly regarded the thick amniotic sac wall on the right side of the uterine wall as a right cornual pregnancy with uterine rupture caused by chronic inflammation. This report aims to bring awareness of this rare condition to medical students and radiologists.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of perinatal and maternal mortality and morbidity, which affects 2% to 8% of pregnancies in the world. The aberrant maternal inflammation and angiogenic imbalance have been demonstrated to contribute to the pathogenesis of PE. This research aimed to investigate the effect of Astragaloside IV (AsIV) in the treatment of PE and the underlying mechanisms. A rat PE-like model was established by tail vein injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and different doses of AsIV (40 and 80 mg/kg) were treated at the same time. Systolic blood pressure, total urine protein and urine volume were observed. Serum and placenta inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA kit. The mRNA and protein expression of relative genes were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. In PE-like rats, there were obvious increases in systolic blood pressure, total urine protein and urine volume, which were obviously alleviated by treatment with AsIV. Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), IL-6 and IL-18, as well as IL-4, IL-10, PIGF, VEGF and sFlt-1, were all reversed by treatment with AsIV. Meanwhile, AsIV treatment improved abnormal pregnancy outcomes, such as low litter size and low fetal weight. In addition, AsIV treatment downregulated the mRNA expression of inflammatory gene IL-1β and IL-6 in PE rats model, and AsIV treatment inhibited the activation of TLR-4, NF-κB, and sFlt-1 in the placenta of PE rats. Our findings indicated the first evidence that AsIV alleviated PE-like signs, and this improvement effect is possibly through inhibition of inflammation response via the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate whether apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptides (A3) are involved in the regulation of cervical cancer development and human papilloma virus (HPV)16 sustained infection in Uighur females. Cervical tissues of Uygur patients with HPV16 with cervical lesions were collected. Expression levels of A3C, A3F and A3G were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. A model of SiHa cells with high expression levels of A3C, A3F and A3G was constructed. Hypermutation was detected using the differential DNA denaturation PCR and positive samples were amplified and sequenced. There were significant differences in A3 expression levels in cervical lesions of different grades. A3C and A3F mRNA and protein expression in cervical cancer tissues were significantly lower, whereas the A3G mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly higher compared with the cervicitis and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I–III groups. Hypermutation rates were increased with cervical lesion development. C>T and G>A base substitutions were detected in all hypermutation samples and numbers of C>T and G>A base substitutions in single samples in the cervical cancer group were significantly higher compared with those in the CIN I–III and cervicitis groups. Following transfection of A3F and A3G, HPV E2 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly decreased in SiHa cells. Numerous C>T and G>A base substitutions were detected in the HPV E2 gene in A3G and A3C overexpressing SiHa cells. A3 family proteins inhibit viral replication during HPV16 infection and regulate the HPV16 integration by inducing C>T and G>A hypermutations in the HPV16 E2 gene, thus affecting the cervical cancer pathogenesis and development.

Abstract
Background Intestinal dysbiosis, or dysbacteriosis, is an abnormal interaction between the intestinal microbiota and the host cells due to altered microbial diversity. This study aimed to investigate the metabolic effects and changes in the intestinal microbiota in newborn rats following exposure to increased levels of maternal androgens in a rat model of maternal polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Material/Methods The administration of androgen developed the rat maternal PCOS model during pregnancy. Maternal rat ovarian follicles were counting and assessed by histology. The metabolic phenotype of newborn rats was evaluated and included an insulin tolerance test, a glucose tolerance test, and measurement of serum levels of triglyceride, insulin, cholesterol, adiponectin, and leptin. Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines was detected using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), serum levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and proteins associated with adipose tissue remodeling and adipocyte differentiation were measured by Western blot. Results Markers of systemic inflammation were significantly increased in the female offspring but not in the male offspring born to rat in the PCOS model. Following birth, newborn rats that received antibiotics showed an improved metabolic phenotype, with reduced serum lipid levels, insulin resistance, body weight, inflammation of adipose tissue, and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines compared with controls. Probiotics had no significant effects on these parameters in newborn rats. Conclusions In a rat model of maternal PCOS, exposure to androgens in utero resulted in dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota and metabolic disorders of the newborn female rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We studied the effect of APOBEC3G on persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the correlation between APOBEC3G polymorphism and HPV persistent infection and cervical disease progression in Uygur women in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 2015 to December 2017, we enrolled 529 Uygur ethnic group patients with HPV infection. SIHA cells were transfected with APOBEC3G. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot analysis were used to detect mRNA and protein expression levels of APOBEC3G and HPV E6 and p53. Exon 3 of APOBEC3G was sequenced by first-generation sequencing. RESULTS The mRNA and protein expression levels of APOBEC3G in the cervical cancer group were significantly higher than in the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) group (p<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of APOBEC3G in the CIN group were significantly higher than in the non-cervical lesions group (p<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of HPV E6 in SIHA cells transfected with APOBEC3G were significantly lower than in the control group and the no-load group (p<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expression levels of p53 were significantly higher than in the control group and the no-load group (p<0.05). There was a polymorphic locus rs5757465 on exon 3 of APOBEC3G in Uygur women, and this rare CC type was a risk factor for cervical lesions and cervical cancer (OR=3.714, 95%CI: 1.916-7.202, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS APOBEC3G is involved in continuous HPV infection, cervical prelesions, and the development of cervical cancer, and the rare genotype (CC) of APOBEC3G may be one of the factors causing cervical lesions in Uygur women who have HPV infection.

Abstract
With the aim to explore the characteristics of persistent HPV infections in postmenopausal Uyghur women and analyse the possible related risk factors, from September 2012 to September 2013; postmenopausal Uyghur women with HPV positive and pathologically diagnosed as non-cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions and non-cervical cancer were recruited. Their clinical course was closely followed up for 24-36 months, and the risk factors were analysed by a logistic regression model. One hundred and sixteen positive women were followed for 36 months. The total persistent HPV infection rate was 67.9%, and the type-specific persistent infection rate was 73.7% at 36 months. Nine (32.1%) women were naturally cleared of their HPV infection at 36 months. We found that an HPV16 infection and an HPV58 infection, and time since menopause over 2 years were closely related with a persistent HPV infection. More attention should be paid to the women above 2 years of menopause who were infected with HPV16 and HPV58 in their further cervical carcinoma screening. Impact statement What is already known on this subject? Previous study revealed that menopause was a risk factor for a persistent HPV infection in Uyghur women. What do the results of this study add? The present study presented the characteristics of HPV persistent infection and the risk factors in Uyghur postmenopausal women. More attention should be paid to the women above 2 of years of menopause who are infected with HPV16 and HPV58. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? This study would offer a theoretical basis for a better screening design, especially the women above 2 years' menopause who have been infected with HPV16 and HPV58 in the Xinjiang region.

Abstract
The dynamic features of nanosecond laser-induced cavitation bubbles near the light alloy boundary were investigated with the high-speed photography. The shock-waves and the dynamic characteristics of the cavitation bubbles generated by the laser were detected using the hydrophone. The dynamic features and strengthening mechanism of cavitation bubbles were studied. The strengthening mechanisms of cavitation bubble were discussed when the relative distance parameter γ was within the range of 0.5-2.5. It showed that the strengthening mechanisms caused by liquid jet or shock-waves depended on γ much. The research results provided a new strengthening method based on laser-induced cavitation shotless peening (CSP).

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims at determining the correlation between CpG methylation in human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 L1 and the persistent infections and development of cervical carcinoma in Uyghur women. METHODS Among the 4,364 Uyghur women, specimens were collected from 145 (3.3%) HPV-16 single infected cases, which were divided into 5 groups: transient infection (n = 32), persistent infection (n = 21, 12 months), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1 (CIN1, n = 21), CIN2-3 (n = 33) and invasive cervical cancer (n = 38) groups. Methylation level in HPV-16 L1 was quantified by pyrosequencing, and values in the prediction and diagnosis of CIN2+ lesions were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS With the progression of the disease, increased methylation was detected at 13 CpG sites, and a high methylation level was associated with the risk of CIN2+. The strongest related site was 6650 (OR 9.89, 95% CI 3.57-27.44). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of methylation at each CpG site to differentiate between CIN2+ and <CIN2 ranged from 0.756 to 0.862, and the greatest AUC was at position 6650 (AUC 0.862, 95% CI 0.803-0.920). A high methylation level at CpG site 6389, 6457, 6581, 6650, 6796 and 7034 was connected with increased risk of HPV-persistent infection, and the strongest associated CpG site was 6389 (OR 13.33, 95% CI 3.95-28.08). The AUC in the prediction of HPV persistent infection was in the range of 0.656-0.943 and the site with the highest diagnostic value was 6389 (AUC 0.943, 95% CI 0.884-1.000). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the methylation of CpG sites in HPV-16 L1 has a great value in contributing to the prediction of HPV-persistent infection and cervical precancerous progression.

Abstract
Many studies have shown that glutamate-induced oxidative stress can lead to neuronal cell death involved in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, protective effects of ethyl acetate extract (EAE) of Arctium lappa L. roots against glutamate-induced oxidative stress in PC12 cells were evaluated. Also, the effects of EAE on antioxidant system, mitochondrial pathway, and signal transduction pathway were explored. Pretreatment with EAE significantly increased cell viability, activities of GSH-Px and SOD, mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced LDH leakage, ROS formation, and nuclear condensation in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, western blot results revealed that EAE increased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and inhibited the up-regulation of caspase-3, release of cytochrome c, phosphorylation of p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2). Therefore, our results indicate that EAE may be a promising neuroprotective agent for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases implicated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the causes of distal femoral nonunion and delayed union and assess the outcome of the corresponding treatment, retrograde intramedullary interlocking nail (RIIN). METHODS From June 1995 to December 1998, 15 patients (9 males and 6 females) with distal femoral nonunion and delayed union were treated with RIIN. The average age of the patients was 34.5 years (23-46 years). Bone grafting was performed in 10 patients, closed reaming was done in the other 5 patients. Correction osteotomy was performed in 2 patients, and intra-articular release of knee adhesion in 11 patients. X-ray examination and knee society clinical rating system (KSS) were used to evaluate the results. RESULTS All fractures were followed up for at least 9 months with average follow-up duration of 14.5 months (9-33 months). Solid union was documented in all patients at 6.4 months on average. There were no infections or malunions in this series. Based on the final follow-up data, acceptable functional range of motion (ROM) of over 90 degrees was achieved in most patients. The average ROM was 93.5 degrees with significant improvement of 28 degrees (42.7%, P<0.05) compared with the preoperative ROM. The average knee score was 96. Excellent ROM emerged in 13 patients. The knee function score was 90.5 on average. CONCLUSIONS The main causes of distal femoral nonunion and delayed union are improper indications and improper use of the implants. RIIN is an effective alternative for treatment of distal femoral nonunion and delayed union because it can provide a stable and reliable fixation which is beneficial for early functional exercise of knee. Bone grafting, closed reaming and intra-articular release of knee adhesion should be considered in order to enhance the bone healing and improve ROM and the knee function.

Abstract
Trichosanthin (TCS) is a toxic protein isolated from a Chinese herbal medicine, the root tuber of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maximowicz of the Curcurbitaceae family. It is now used in China to terminate early and mid-trimester pregnancies. The ribosome inactivating property is thought to be account for its toxicity; it can inactivate the eukaryotic ribosome through its RNA N-glycosidase activity. The interactions of TCS with biological membrane is thought to be essential for its physiological effect, for it must get across the membrane before it can enter the cytoplasm and exert its RIP function. In the present work, the interaction of TCS with supported phospholipid monolayers is studied by surface plasmon resonance. The results show that electrostatic forces dominate the interaction between TCS and negatively charged phospholipid containing membranes under acid condition and that both the pH value and the ionic strength can influence its binding. It is proposed that, besides electrostatic forces, hydrophobic interaction may also be involved in the binding process.

Abstract
Effects of environmental factors on the release of phosphorus were studied at laboratory simulated test. The relationship between the different forms of phosphorus in sediments and the quantity of releasing phosphorus was studied at the same time. Results showed that the rates of phosphorus release from the sediment increased with rising the temperature of disturbing the overlying water. The content of phosphorus release from the sediment reached the lowest level when pH value was 7.4, high pH or low pH increased the rates of phosphorus release from the sediment. In anaerobic, the release rates of phosphorus was 30 times as much as in aerobic. Research also showed that different chemical forms of phosphorus in sediments were related to the quantity of phosphorus released from the sediments in varying degrees. The dissolved phosphorus and Fe binding phosphorus in sediments played the most important roles (r > 0.90, P < 0.01).

Abstract
The phospholipid monolayer at an air/water interface is widely used to mimic the biological membrane. The dynamic process of the protein or peptide interacting with lipid molecules can be reflected in the change in surface pressure of the monolayer. But the conventional method used to measure the surface pressure change gives results that cannot easily be correlated with the contribution of a single protein molecule. Previously, measuring the surface concentration of the protein molecules at the air/water interface has required the protein to be labeled with radioactivity or fluorescence. Here, a new method using capillary electrophoresis is introduced to measure the surface concentration of the protein. The results show at least two advantages of the new method: The numerical results of protein concentration can be obtained in a more precise and rapid way; and there is no need to label the protein sample or to build a special monolayer setup.

Abstract
ArsA protein is the soluble subunit of the Ars anion pump in the Escherichia coli membrane which extrudes arsenite or antimonite from the cytoplasm. The molecular weight of the subunit is 63 kDa. In the cell it hydrolyzes ATP, and the energy released is used by the membrane-bound subunit ArsB to transport the substrates across the membrane. We have obtained two-dimensional crystals of ArsA in the presence of arsenite on negatively-charged lipid monolayer composed of DMPS and DOPC. These crystals have been studied using electron microscopy of negatively-stained specimens followed by image processing. The projection map obtained at 2.4 nm resolution reveals a ring-like structure with threefold symmetry. Many molecular assemblies with the same ring-shape and dimensions were also seen dispersed on electron microscopy grids, prepared directly from purified ArsA protein solution. Size-exclusion chromatography of the protein sample with arsenite present revealed that the majority of the protein particles in solution have a molecular weight of about 180 kDa. Based on these experiments, we conclude that in solution the ArsA ATPase with substrate bound is mainly in a trimeric form.

Abstract
As a member of the pentraxin family, C-reactive protein plays various roles in the nonspecific immunity of animals. Though soluble, C-reactive protein always functions on membranes. In order to study the structure of the membrane-bound protein and the reaction between protein and membranes, two-dimensional (2D) crystallization of rabbit C-reactive protein on lipid monolayers was performed. The 2D crystals composed of pentameric proteins were obtained on lipid monolayers by specific adsorption for the first time. The projection map at 26-A resolution is presented, which exhibits P2 symmetry with lattice parameters a = 158(+/-3) A, b = 92(+/-1) A, and gamma = 107(+/-1) degrees. The current work may give a basis for the further study on the structure of complexes made up of C-reactive protein with its functional binding molecules on membranes.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein H (ApoH) is a plasma glycoprotein with its in vivo physiological and pathogenic roles being closely related to its interaction with negatively charged membranes. In this paper, the interaction of ApoH with phospholipid vesicles was characterized by (i) detecting the wavelength shift of the fluorescence spectrum of ApoH and (ii) measuring the fluorescence quenching extent of ApoH by the membrane resident quencher 1-palmitoyl-2-stearoyl-(5-doxyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPC). The observed blue shift upon addition of DMPG vesicles indicated that the tryptophan residues of ApoH moved from a polar to a nonpolar environment. The insertion ability of ApoH into PG-containing vesicles did not depend on the PG content in a stoichiometric way as did the blue shift, indicating that the negatively charged DMPG does not serve as a specific binding site but rather provides a suitable microenvironment for ApoH interaction. The finding that the detachment effect of cations on the blue shift is remarkably different from that on the quenching extent suggests that ApoH is capable of existing in two different conformations when membrane-bound.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the binding of gp41 with the putative receptor protein P62. DESIGN HIV-1 gp41 binds several cellular proteins by two binding sites, one of which has been shown to bind to a putative receptor protein P45 (45 kDa). Based on this, an attempt was made to determine the relationship between the two binding sites and P62 (62 kDa). METHODS Using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurement, the interaction was measured between recombinant soluble gp41 (rsgp41, Env aa539-684) and protein P62. Inhibition of this interaction was attempted by the use of synthetic peptides (P1, aa583-599; P2, aa646-674) corresponding to the two binding sites in gp41. In addition, the direct binding of P62 to peptide P2 was examined in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Using SPR measurement, the interaction between P62 and rsgp41 was confirmed, and the interaction was found to be inhibited by only the synthetic peptide P2 sequence that corresponds to the C domain of gp41; neither P1 nor a control peptide inhibited the interaction. Moreover, like rsgp41, P2 was able to bind P62 whereas P1 and another recombinant gp41 (aa567-648 that does not include the C domain) were not. CONCLUSIONS P62 bound rsgp41 and the synthetic peptide P2. This interaction could be inhibited only by P2. These results indicate that the C domain of HIV-1 gp41 binds P62.
