Abstract
Batteries dissolving active materials in liquids possess safety and size advantages compared to solid-based batteries, yet the intrinsic liquid properties lead to material cross-over induced self-discharge both during cycling and idle when the electrolytes are in contact, thus highly efficient and cost-effective solutions to minimize cross-over are in high demand. An ultra-low self-discharge aqueous|organic membraneless battery using dichloromethane (CH2 Cl2 ) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) added to a zinc bromide (ZnBr2 ) solution as the electrolyte is demonstrated. The polybromide is confined in the organic phase, and bromine (Br2 ) diffusion-induced self-discharge is minimized. At 90% state of charge (SOC), the membraneless ZnBr2 |TBABr (Z|T) battery shows an open circuit voltage (OCV) drop of only 42 mV after 120 days, 152 times longer than the ZnBr2 battery, and superior to 102 previous reports from all types of liquid active material batteries. The 120-day capacity retention of 95.5% is higher than commercial zinc-nickel (Zn-Ni) batteries and vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB, electrolytes stored separately) and close to lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Z|T achieves >500 cycles (2670 h, 0.5 m electrolyte, 250 folds of membraneless ZnBr2 battery) with ≈100% Coulombic efficiency (CE). The simple and cost-effective design of Z|T provides a conceptual inspiration to regulate material cross-over in liquid-based batteries to realize extended operation.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials are highly demanded due to their great potential in optoelectronic and chiroptical elements. However, the preparation of CPL films with high luminescence dissymmetry factors (glum ) remains a formidable task, which impedes their practical application in film-based devices. Herein, a facile strategy to prepare solid CPL film with a high glum through exogenous chiral induction and amplification of liquid crystal polymers is proposed. Amplification and reversion of the CPL appear when the films are annealed at the chiral nematic liquid crystalline temperature and the maximal glum up to 0.30 due to the enhancement of selective reflection. Thermal annealing treatment at different liquid crystalline states facilitates the formation of the chiral liquid phase and adjusts the circularly polarized emission. This work not only provides a straightforward and versatile platform to construct organic films capable of exhibiting strong circularly polarized emission but also is helpful in understanding the exact mechanism for the liquid crystal enhancement of CPL performance.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the radiomics model based on high-resolution T2WI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting microsatellite stability in patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ rectal cancer. Methods: From February 2016 to October 2020, 175 patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ rectal cancer who met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively collected. There were 119 males and 56 females, aged (63.9±9.4) years (range: 37 to 85 years), including 152 patients with microsatellite stability and 23 patients with microsatellite instability. All patients were randomly divided into the training group (n=123) and the validation group (n=52) with a ratio of 7∶3. The region of interest was labeled on the T2WI and DWI images of each patient using the ITK-SNAP software, and PyRadiomics was used to extract seven kinds of radiomics features. After removing redundant features and normalizing features, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operation were used for feature selection. One clinical model, three radiomics models and one clinical-radiomics model were constructed in the training group based on a support vector machine. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were used to evaluate the performance of the models in the verification group. Results: Three clinical features (age, degree of tumor differentiation, and distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal edge) and six radiomics features (two DWI-related features and four T2WI-related features) most related to microsatellite status of rectal cancer patients were selected. The AUC of the clinical-radiomics model in the training group was 0.95. In the validation group, the AUC was 0.81, better than the clinical model (0.68, Z=0.71, P=0.04), and equivalent to the T2WI+DWI model (0.82, Z=0.21, P=0.83). Conclusions: Radiomic features based on preoperative T2WI and DWI were related to microsatellite stability in patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ rectal cancer and showed a high classification efficiency. The model based on the features provided a noninvasive and convenient tool for preoperative determination of microsatellite stability in rectal cancer patients.

Abstract
Natural cotton fibers have attached considerable attention due to their excellent wearing comfort, breathability and warmth. However, it remains a challenge to devise a scalable and facile strategy to retrofit natural cotton fibers. Here, the cotton fiber surface was oxidized by sodium periodate with a mist process, then [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) was co-polymerized with hydroxyethyl acrylate (HA) to obtain an antibacterial cationic polymer (DMC-co-HA). The self-synthesized polymer was covalently grafted onto the aldehyde-functionalized cotton fibers via an acetal reaction between hydroxyl groups of the polymer and aldehyde groups of the oxidized cotton surface. Finally, the resulted Janus functionalized cotton fabric (JanCF) revealed robust and persistent antimicrobial activity. The antibacterial test showed that when the molar ratio of DMC/HA was 50: 1, JanCF possessed the best BR (bacterial reduction) values of 100 % against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, the BR values could be maintained over 95 % even after the durability test. In addition, JanCF exhibited excellent antifungal activity against Candida albicans. The cytotoxicity assessment confirmed that JanCF exhibited a reliable safety effect on human skin. Particularly, the intrinsic outstanding characteristics (strength, flexibility, etc.) of the cotton fabric were not considerably deteriorated compared to the control samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength begins at 40 years of age, and limited evidence suggests that niacin supplementation increases levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in mouse muscle tissue. In addition, skeletal muscle has a key role in the body's processing of glucose. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary niacin and skeletal muscle mass, strength, and glucose homeostasis in people aged 40 years and older. METHODS This study was an American population-based cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Considering that some outcomes are only measured in specific survey cycles and subsamples, we established three data sets: a grip strength dataset (2011-2014, n=3772), a body mass components dataset (2011-2018, n=3279), and a glucose homeostasis dataset (1999-2018, n=9189). Dietary niacin and covariates were measured in all survey cycles. Linear regression or logistic regression models that adjusted for several main covariates, such as physical activity and diet, was used to evaluate the relationship between dietary niacin and grip strength, total lean mass, appendicular lean mass, total fat, trunk fat, total bone mineral content, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting blood glycose, fasting insulin and sarcopenia risk. Subgroup analyses, a trend test, an interaction test, and a restricted cubic spline were used for further exploration. RESULTS Higher dietary niacin intake was significantly correlated with higher grip strength (β 0.275, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.192-0.357), higher total lean mass (β 0.060, 95% CI 0.045-0.074), higher appendicular lean mass (β 0.025, 95% CI 0.018-0.033), and higher total bone mineral content (β 0.005, 95% CI 0.004-0.007). By contrast, higher dietary niacin intake was significantly associated with lower total fat (β -0.061, 95% CI -0.076 to -0.046), lower trunk fat (β -0.041, 95% CI -0.050 to -0.032) and lower sarcopenia risk (OR 0.460, 95% CI 0.233 to 0.907). In addition, dietary niacin significantly reduced HOMA-IR, fasting blood glucose (in participants without diabetes), and fasting insulin (p <0.05). CONCLUSION Niacin is associated with improved body composition (characterized by increased muscle mass and decreased fat content) and improved glucose homeostasis in dietary doses. Dietary niacin supplementation is a feasible way to alleviate age-related muscular loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Late-night overeating (LNOE) is closely associated with many health risk factors, but whether LNOE can increase the risk of death remains unknown. Thus, the prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the relationship between LNOE and mortality using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. METHODS 11,893 participants aged 50 years and older were included in the study. Dietary information was obtained through 24-h dietary recall interviews. Cox regression, subgroup, sensitivity, and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between LNOE and mortality. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 8.3 years, 2,498 deaths occurred. After adjusting for major confounders, compared to the non-late-night eating (NLNE) group, the LNOE group was associated with higher risks of all-cause (HR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.06-2.04) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality (HR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.13-3.60). No significant association was found between late-night eating (LNE) and mortality. Subgroup analyses showed that the LNOE group had a greater risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in participants older than 70 years, with alcohol consumption and hypertension and demonstrated an increased risk of all-cause mortality in males and higher CVD mortality in females. CONCLUSION The habit of LNOE was an independent risk factor for all-cause and CVD mortality in US adults aged 50 years and older, which was also influenced by age, sex, alcohol consumption, and hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Flow diversion has gradually become a standard treatment for intracranial aneurysms of the anterior circulation. Recently, the off-label use of the flow diverters to treat posterior circulation aneurysms has also increased despite initial concerns of rupture and the suboptimal results. This study aimed to explore the change in complication rates and treatment outcomes across time for posterior circulation aneurysms treated using flow diversion and to further evaluate the mechanisms and variables that could potentially explain the change and outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review using a standardized data set at multiple international academic institutions was performed to identify patients with ruptured and unruptured posterior circulation aneurysms treated with flow diversion during a decade spanning January 2011 to January 2020. This period was then categorized into 4 intervals. RESULTS A total of 378 procedures were performed during the study period. Across time, there was an increasing tendency to treat more vertebral artery and fewer large vertebrobasilar aneurysms (P = .05). Moreover, interventionalists have been increasingly using fewer overlapping flow diverters per aneurysm (P = .07). There was a trend toward a decrease in the rate of thromboembolic complications from 15.8% in 2011-13 to 8.9% in 2018-19 (P = .34). CONCLUSIONS This multicenter experience revealed a trend toward treating fewer basilar aneurysms, smaller aneurysms, and increased usage of a single flow diverter, leading to a decrease in the rate of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of platelet count(PC),PC to mean platelet volume(MPV) ratio(PC/MPV) and plateletcrit(PCT) in chronic periprosthetic joint infection(PJI). Method: The medical records of 159 patients who underwent hip or knee revisions at Department of Joint Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from August 2013 to June 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 51 patients(26 knees and 25 hips) in the PJI group,which included 28 males and 23 females,aged (68.0±11.8)years (range:32 to 84 years)with a body mass index(BMI)of (26.1±3.6) kg/m².There were 116 patients(19 knees and 97 hips) in the aseptic loosening(AL) group,including 67 males and 49 females,aged (70.3±8.9)years(range:49 to 89 years)with a BMI of (25.0±3.6)kg/m².The plasma C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),PC,MPV,PC/MPV and PCT levels of the two groups were recorded and analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of each biomarker,expect for MPV,and the diagnostic value of each biomarker was compared according to the area under the curve(AUC).Independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test were used for comparison between groups. Result: Compared with AL group,AJI group had significantly higher levels of CRP,ESR,PC,PC/MPV and PCT(all P<0.05),but lower level of MPV (P<0.05).The AUCs for CRP,ESR,PC,PC/MPV and PCT were 0.820, 0.829, 0.689, 0.668 and 0.676,respectively. Based on the Youden index,the optimal predictive cutoff for CRP was 11.12 mg/L,with a sensitivity of 74.4% and a specificity of 87.1%.The optimal predictive cutoff for ESR was 17.60 mm/1 h,with a sensitivity of 81.4% and a specificity of 75.3%.The optimal predictive cutoff for PC was 243.00×109/L,with a sensitivity of 60.6% and a specificity of 71.8%.The optimal predictive cutoff for PC/MPV was 24.95,the sensitivity was 58.1% and the specificity was 74.1%.And the optimal predictive cutoff for PCT was 0.24%,with a sensitivity of 69.8% and a specificity of 63.5%. Conclusion: PC,PC to MPV ratio and PCT were of limited value to diagnose PJI.

Abstract
Flexible electronic materials have aroused significant interest due to the need for flexible electronics in a variety of applications. However, several obstacles such as low mechanical properties, interfacial adhesion problems, and nonreusability hinder their rapid development. Here, an ionogel was developed by a one-step photopolymerization of an ionic liquid (IL) with the C═C bond of 1-vinyl-3-butylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate in another ionic liquid solution of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate without a chemical cross-linker. The poly(ionic liquid) and the ionic liquid (PIL/IL) were highly compatible and resulted in an extremely uniform, stable, and optically transparent PIL/IL ionogel. In addition, this method also avoided complicated solvent replacement in the preparation processes of common ionogels. Our experimental and theoretical results showed that the reported ionogel integrated excellent mechanical properties, ultrastrong adhesive, self-healability, and recyclability. These remarkable advantages were benefited from the strong electrostatic force and other noncovalent bond interactions in the ionogel system. The unique ionogel presented in this study is therefore an ideal candidate material for self-adhesive and reusable wearable electronics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, hip arthroplasty rates in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have been increasing rapidly. Although patients with SLE generally show beneficial or desirable functional outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA), it has been reported that SLE patients after THA have increased risk of postoperative complications, especially during the period of hospitalization. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we aimed to identify possible factors associated with complications or transfusion of THA in SLE patients during hospitalization. METHODS The present study was a retrospective study conducted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Data were collected from medical records of patients who underwent THA from January 2012 to June 2018. The primary outcome variable was perioperative complications, which was defined as having one or more of the following conditions: high fever, infection, impaired wound healing, venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, hematoma, arrhythmia, implant complications. The secondary outcome was perioperative transfusion. RESULTS During January 2012 to June 2018, 100 patients had taken the surgery of THA. After multivariate analysis, independent risk factors for perioperative complications were: age ≥ 45 years (p = 0.001), SLE with other connective tissue diseases (p = 0.029), high temperature (p = 0.030), positive anti-dsDNA antibody (p = 0.043), and Systemic Lupus International Collaborative Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index ≥ 3 (p = 0.008). Independent risk factors for perioperative transfusion were bilateral THA (p = 0.029), low hemoglobin (p = 0.021) and abnormal renal function (p = 0.021). CONCLUSION For SLE patients following THA, age > 45 years, SLE with other connective tissue disease, high temperature, positive anti-dsDNA antibody and SLICC/ACR Damage Index ≥ 3 were the risk factors of complications during hospitalization and bilateral THA, low hemoglobin and abnormal renal function were the risk factors of transfusion.

Abstract
An all-optical spike inhibition scheme based on polarization-mode competition (PMC) in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with an embedded saturable absorber is proposed and investigated numerically. The inhibitory dynamics is characterized by spike amplitude and first-spike latency (FSL) for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The effects of time differences between inhibitory and excitatory inputs, inputs strengths, bias current, as well as noise on the spike amplitude and FSL are examined. The results show that a spike can be triggered in the y-polarization mode by excitatory input and can be inhibited in the presence of inhibitory input due to PMC.

Abstract
Improved nerve regeneration and functional outcomes would greatly enhance the utility of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) such as hand and upper extremity transplantation. However, research aimed at achieving this goal has been limited by the lack of a functional VCA animal model. We have developed a novel rat midhumeral forelimb transplant model that allows for the characterization of upper extremity functional recovery following transplantation. At the final end point of 12 weeks, we found that animals with forelimb transplantation including median, ulnar and radial nerve coaptation demonstrated significantly improved grip strength and forelimb function as compared to forelimb transplantation without nerve approximation (grip strength: 1.71N ± 0.57 vs. no appreciable recovery; IBB scale: 2.6 ± 0.7? vs. 0.8 ± 0.40; p = 0.0005), and similar recovery to nerve transection-and-repair only (grip strength: 1.71N ± 0.57 vs. 2.03 ± 0.42.6; IBB scale: 2.6 ± 0.7 vs. 2.8 ± 0.8; p = ns). Moreover, all forelimb transplant animals with nerve coaptation displayed robust axonal regeneration with myelination and reduced flexor muscle atrophy when compared to forelimb transplant animals without nerve coaptation. In conclusion, this is the first VCA small-animal model that allows for reliable and reproducible measurement of behavioral functional recovery in addition to histologic evaluation of nerve regeneration and graft reinnervation.

Abstract
Aerobic exercise showed beneficial influence on cardiovascular systems in aging, and mechanisms underlying vascular adaption remain unclear. Large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channels play critical roles in regulating cellular excitability and vascular tone. This study determined the effects of aerobic exercise on aging-associated functional changes in BK(Ca) channels in cerebrovascular myocytes, Male Wistar rats aged 20-22 months were randomly assigned to sedentary (O-SED), low training frequency (O-EXL), and high training frequency group (O-EXH). Young rats were used as control. Compared to young rats, whole-cell BK(Ca) current was decreased, and amplitude of spontaneous transient outward currents were reduced. The open probability and Ca(2+)/voltage sensitivity of single BK(Ca) channel were declined in O-SED, accompanied with a reduction of tamoxifen-induced BK(Ca) activation; the mean open time of BK(Ca) channels was shortened whereas close time was prolonged. Aerobic exercise training markedly alleviated the aging-associated decline independent of training frequency. Exercise three times rather than five times weekly may be a time and cost-saving training volume required to offer beneficial effects to offset the functional declines of BK(Ca) during aging.

Abstract
We investigate edge state transmission in quantum point contacts (QPCs) in the fractional quantum-Hall regime, finding behavior reminiscent of a metal-insulator transition. The transition is suggested by an unusual behavior of the differential conductance in the fractional-quantum-Hall regime, and by the presence of a fixed point and universal scaling in the temperature dependence of the linear conductance. Noting that the 0.7 feature evolves continuously into a last fractional plateau at high magnetic fields, we suggest that this still unresolved feature may itself be viewed as a manifestation of a local, microscopic, metal-insulator transition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a common problem among school-aged children (5-11 years). Symptoms such as urgency, diminished awareness of wetting, or apparent apathy may represent differences in sensory processing (SP). This study aims to describe the SP abilities of incontinent school-aged children with typical development to determine if they differ from established norms for continent children. MATERIALS AND METHODS The SP abilities of 209 school-aged children with UI were evaluated using the short sensory profile (SSP), a judgment-based caregiver questionnaire, then compared with established norms using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS Forty-four percent of children showed significant differences in global SP with the greatest differences noted in tactile sensitivity. Higher section subscores were also noted in "seeks sensation/under responsive" and "auditory sensitivity". Children with dysfunctional voiding (DV) were more likely to show global differences (p = 0.015), differences in "seeks sensation" (p = 0.006), and auditory sensitivity (p = 0.041). The odds for low tactile sensitivity scores were five times greater for children with UI and DV (p = 0.006). CONCLUSION These results suggest that differences in SP may be found among typical school aged children with UI. Continued research is indicated to understand the significance of the study results.

Abstract
We investigate the linear and non-linear conductance of quantum point contacts (QPCs), in the region near pinch-off where Kondo physics has previously been connected to the appearance of the 0.7 feature. In studies of seven different QPCs, fabricated in the same high-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction, the linear conductance is widely found to show the presence of the 0.7 feature. The differential conductance, on the other hand, does not generally exhibit the zero-bias anomaly (ZBA) that has been proposed to indicate the Kondo effect. Indeed, even in the small subset of QPCs found to exhibit such an anomaly, the linear conductance does not always follow the universal temperature-dependent scaling behavior expected for the Kondo effect. Taken collectively, our observations demonstrate that, unlike the 0.7 feature, the ZBA is not a generic feature of low-temperature QPC conduction. We furthermore conclude that the mere observation of the ZBA alone is insufficient evidence for concluding that Kondo physics is active. While we do not rule out the possibility that the Kondo effect may occur in QPCs, our results appear to indicate that its observation requires a very strict set of conditions to be satisfied. This should be contrasted with the case of the 0.7 feature, which has been apparent since the earliest experimental investigations of QPC transport.

Abstract
Variability in ADG of feedlot cattle can affect profits, thus making overall returns more unstable. Hence, knowledge of the factors that contribute to heterogeneity of variances in animal performance can help feedlot managers evaluate risks and minimize profit volatility when making managerial and economic decisions in commercial feedlots. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate heteroskedasticity, defined as heterogeneity of variances, in ADG of cohorts of commercial feedlot cattle, and to identify cattle demographic factors at feedlot arrival as potential sources of variance heterogeneity, accounting for cohort- and feedlot-level information in the data structure. An operational dataset compiled from 24,050 cohorts from 25 U. S. commercial feedlots in 2005 and 2006 was used for this study. Inference was based on a hierarchical Bayesian model implemented with Markov chain Monte Carlo, whereby cohorts were modeled at the residual level and feedlot-year clusters were modeled as random effects. Forward model selection based on deviance information criteria was used to screen potentially important explanatory variables for heteroskedasticity at cohort- and feedlot-year levels. The Bayesian modeling framework was preferred as it naturally accommodates the inherently hierarchical structure of feedlot data whereby cohorts are nested within feedlot-year clusters. Evidence for heterogeneity of variance components of ADG was substantial and primarily concentrated at the cohort level. Feedlot-year specific effects were, by far, the greatest contributors to ADG heteroskedasticity among cohorts, with an estimated ∼12-fold change in dispersion between most and least extreme feedlot-year clusters. In addition, identifiable demographic factors associated with greater heterogeneity of cohort-level variance included smaller cohort sizes, fewer days on feed, and greater arrival BW, as well as feedlot arrival during summer months. These results support that heterogeneity of variances in ADG is prevalent in feedlot performance and indicate potential sources of heteroskedasticity. Further investigation of factors associated with heteroskedasticity in feedlot performance is warranted to increase consistency and uniformity in commercial beef cattle production and subsequent profitability.

Abstract
This study investigates differences in expression of clock and clock-controlled genes (CCGs) between human breast epithelial and breast cancer cells and breast tumor xenografts in circadian intact rats and examines if the pineal hormone melatonin influences clock gene and CCG expression. Oscillation of clock gene expression was not observed under standard growth conditions in vitro, however, serum shock (50% horse serum for 2 h) induced oscillation of clock gene and CCG expression in MCF-10A cells, which was repressed or disrupted in MCF-7 cells. Melatonin administration following serum shock differentially suppressed or induced clock gene (Bmal1 and Per2) and CCG expression in MCF10A and MCF-7 cells. These studies demonstrate the lack of rhythmic expression of clock genes and CCGs of cells in vitro and that transplantation of breast cancer cells as xenografts into circadian competent hosts re-establishes a circadian rhythm in the peripheral clock genes of tumor cells.

Abstract
AIMS Combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) is a rare form of primary liver cancer, showing a mixture of hepatocellular and biliary features. Data suggest that most CHC arise from hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs). The aim was to investigate the origin of CHC. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve cases of CHC were studied by immunohistochemistry for hepatocytic (hepPar1, alpha-fetoprotein), cholangiocytic cytokeratin [(CK) 7, CK19], hepatic progenitor cell (OV-6), haematopoietic stem cell (c-kit, CD34), as well as CD45 and chromogranin-A markers. The combination of double-fluorescence immunostaining consisted of HepPar1 with CK19, and c-kit with OV-6. All 12 cases demonstrated more or less transitional areas, with strands/trabeculae of small, uniform, oval-shaped cells including scant cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei embedded within a thick, desmoplastic stroma; however, two cases were found to consist entirely of such transitional areas. Simultaneous co-expression of hepPar1 and CK7, or CK19, was demonstrated in 10/12 (83.3%) cases of CHC. c-kit expression was noted in 10/12 (83.3%) cases, of which 7/10 (70%) showed co-expression of OV-6. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that CHC are of HPC origin, supporting the concept that human hepatocarcinogenesis may originate from the transformation of HPCs.

Abstract
A practical generally applicable procedure for exponential modeling to maximum likelihood of macromolecular data sets constrained by a moderately large basis set of reliable phases and a molecular envelope is described, based on the computer program MICE [Bricogne & Gilmore (1990). Acta Cryst. A46, 284-297]. Procedures were first tested with simulated data sets. Exact and randomly perturbed amplitudes and phases were generated, together with a known envelope for solvent-free protein and for protein in an electron-dense crystal mother liquor typical of many real protein crystals. These experiments established useful guidelines and values for various parameters. Tests with basis sets chosen from the largest amplitudes indicate that exponential models with considerable correct extrapolated phase and amplitude information can be constructed from as few as 16% of the total number of reflections, with mean phase errors of about 30 degrees, at resolution limits of either 5 or 3 A. When the shape of the solvent channels in macromolecular crystals is known, it offers an important additional source of information. MICE was, therefore, adapted to average the density outside the molecular boundary defined by an input envelope. This flattening process imposes a uniform density distribution in solvent-filled channels as an additional constraint on the exponential model and is analogous to the treatment of solvent in conventional solvent flattening. Experimental data for cytidine deaminase, a structure recently solved by making extensive use of conventional solvent flattening, provides an example of the performance of maximum-entropy methods in a real situation and a compelling comparison of this method to standard procedures. Exponential models of the electron density constrained by the most reliable phases obtained by multiple isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering (MIRAS) (figure of merit > 0.7, representing 34% of the total number of reflections) and by the envelope give rise to centroid electron-density maps which are quantitatively superior by numerous statistical criteria to conventionally solvent-flattened density. Similarity of these maps to the 2F(obs) - F(calc) map calculated with phases obtained after crystallographic refinement of the model implies that maximum-entropy extrapolation provides better phases for the remaining 66% of the reflections than the original centroid MIRAS distributions. Importantly, the solvent-flattened electron density, although it did permit interpretation of the map which was not readily accomplished with the MIRAS map, contains substantial errors. It is proposed that errors of this sort may account for previously noted deficiencies of the solvent-flattening method [Fenderson, Herriott & Adman (1990). J. Appl. Cryst. 23, 115-131] and for the occasional tendency of incorrect interpretations to be 'locked in' by crystallographic refinement [Brändén & Jones (1990). Nature (London), 343, 687-689, and references cited therein]. Solvent flattening with combined maximization of entropy and likelihood represents a phase-refinement path independent of atomic models, using the experimental amplitudes and the most reliable phases. It should, therefore, become a valuable and generally useful procedure in macromolecular crystal structure determination.

Abstract
SUMMARY Vein of Galen vascular malformations are either Vein of Galen Aneurysmal malformations (VGAMs) or Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Dilatations (VGADs). VGAMs may be of the choroidal or mural type and are fistulas associated with the precursor of the vein of Galen. The treatment of VGAMs is aimed at controlling the size of the vascular shunt since it is believed that the shunt is responsible for venous hypertension, cardiac stress, delayed development and may be so large as to damage the brain. In VGAMs as noted by Berenstein and Lasjaunias. Absolute measures of flow may contribute to our understanding of CNS disease and permit objective measures of the success or failure of therapeutic interventions (5). MR phase contrast cine angiographic techniques can be employed to measure bulk flow in intracranial vessels. Vein of Galen vascular malformations are an ideal model to measure venous flow as the draining vein is large and angiographic evaluation is limited. Thus our goal was to develop an objective non-invasive method of measuring vascular flow in VGAMs and VGADs (6) . Herein we report our experience using this technique in a group of patients with Vein of Galen vascular malformations. We also hypothesized that the degree of shunting would correlate to the degree of cardiac stress and be an indicator of optimal timing for intervention. We believe that we have succeeded in our goal to develop an objective, non-invasive method of shunt quantification using velocity encoded MR sequences. This promises new insight into the hemodynamics, natural history and treatment response of vascular malformations.

Abstract
There is currently a great deal of interest in proteins that fold in a single highly cooperative step. Particular attention has been focused on elucidating the factors that govern folding rates of simple proteins. Recently, the topology of the native state has been proposed to be the most important determinant of their folding rates. Here we report a comparative study of the folding of three topologically equivalent proteins that adapt a particularly simple alpha/beta fold. The folding kinetics of the N-terminal domain of RNase HI and the N-terminal domain of the ribosomal protein L9 from Escherichia coli (eNTL9) were compared to the previously characterized N-terminal domain of L9 from Bacillus stearothermophilus (bNTL9). This 6.2 kDa protein, which is one of simplest examples of the ABCalphaD motif, folds via a two-state mechanism on the millisecond to submillisecond time scale. The RNase HI domain and bNTL9 have very similar tertiary structures but there is little similarity in primary sequence. bNTL9 and eNTL9 share the same biological function and a similar primary sequence but differ significantly in stability. Fluorescence-detected stopped-flow experiments showed that the three proteins fold in a two-state fashion. The folding rates in the absence of denaturant were found to be very different, ranging form 21 s(-1) to 790 s(-1) at 10 degrees C. The diverse folding rates appear to reflect large differences in the stability of the proteins. When compared at an isostability point, the folding rates converged to a similar value and there is a strong linear correlation between the log of the folding rate and stability for this set of proteins. These observations are consistent with the idea that stability can play an important role in dictating relative folding rates among topologically equivalent proteins.

Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) efficiently mediates the binding of lipoprotein particles to lipoprotein receptors and to proteoglycans at cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix. It has been proposed that LPL increases the retention of atherogenic lipoproteins in the vessel wall and mediates the uptake of lipoproteins in cells, thereby promoting lipid accumulation and plaque formation. We investigated the interaction between LPL and low density lipoproteins (LDLs) with special reference to the protein-protein interaction between LPL and apolipoprotein B (apoB). Chemical modification of lysines and arginines in apoB or mutation of its main proteoglycan binding site did not abolish the interaction of LDL with LPL as shown by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and by experiments with THP-I macrophages. Recombinant LDL with either apoB100 or apoB48 bound with similar affinity. In contrast, partial delipidation of LDL markedly decreased binding to LPL. In cell culture experiments, phosphatidylcholine-containing liposomes competed efficiently with LDL for binding to LPL. Each LDL particle bound several (up to 15) LPL dimers as determined by SPR and by experiments with THP-I macrophages. A recombinant NH(2)-terminal fragment of apoB (apoB17) bound with low affinity to LPL as shown by SPR, but this interaction was completely abolished by partial delipidation of apoB17. We conclude that the LPL-apoB interaction is not significant in bridging LDL to cell surfaces and matrix components; the main interaction is between LPL and the LDL lipids.

Abstract
Germinal center-B (GC-B) cells differentiate into memory B cells and plasma cells (PC) through interaction with T cells and follicular dendritic cells (FDC). Activated T cell and FDC play distinct roles in this process. The detailed kinetic experiments revealed that cytokines secreted by activated T cells determined the pathway of GC-B cell differentiation. IL-4 directs GC-B cells to differentiate into memory B cells, whereas IL-10 steers them into PC. FDC/HK cells do not direct either pathway, but provide signals for proliferation of GC-B cells. A novel FDC-signaling molecule 8D6 (FDC-SM-8D6) produced by FDC augments PC generation in the GC. FDC-SM-8D6-specific mAb blocked PC generation and IgG secretion but not memory B cell proliferation. COS cells expressing FDC-SM-8D6 enhanced GC-B cell proliferation and Ab secretion, which was blocked by mAb 8D6. In the cultures with B cell subsets, PC generation was inhibited by mAb 8D6 in the cultures with CD27(+) B cells but not in the culture with CD27(-) B cells, suggesting that CD27(+) PC precursor is the specific target of FDC-SM-8D6 stimulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis is an evolutionarily conserved pathway present in archaea, eubacteria, and eukaryotes. In humans, genetic abnormalities in the biosynthetic pathway result in Moco deficiency, which is accompanied by severe neurological symptoms and death shortly after birth. The Escherichia coli MoeA and MogA proteins are involved in the final step of Moco biosynthesis: the incorporation of molybdenum into molybdopterin (MPT), the organic pyranopterin moiety of Moco. RESULTS The crystal structure of E. coli MoeA has been refined at 2 A resolution and reveals that the highly elongated MoeA monomer consists of four clearly separated domains, one of which is structurally related to MogA, indicating a divergent evolutionary relationship between both proteins. The active form of MoeA is a dimer, and a putative active site appears to be localized to a cleft formed between domain II of the first monomer and domains III and IV of the second monomer. CONCLUSIONS In eukaryotes, MogA and MoeA are fused into a single polypeptide chain. The corresponding mammalian protein gephyrin has also been implicated in the anchoring of glycinergic receptors to the cytoskeleton at inhibitory synapses. Based on the structures of MoeA and MogA, gephyrin is surmised to be a highly organized molecule containing at least five domains. This multidomain arrangement could provide a structural basis for its functional diversity. The oligomeric states of MoeA and MogA suggest how gephyrin could assemble into a hexagonal scaffold at inhibitory synapses.

Abstract
Studies of lymphoid neoplasms occurring in normal or genetically engineered mice have revealed parallels and differences to non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) of humans. Some mouse lymphomas have strong histologic similarities to the human NHL subsets including precursor B- and T-cell lymphoblastic, small lymphocytic, splenic marginal zone, and diffuse large-cell B-cell lymphomas (DLCL); whether molecular parallels also exist is under study. Others mouse types such as sIg+ lymphoblastic B-cell lymphoma have no histologic equivalent in human NHL even though they share molecular deregulation of BCL6 with human DLCL. Finally, Burkitt lymphoma does not appear to occur naturally in mice, but it can be induced with appropriately engineered transgenes.

Abstract
We used a novel phase-resolved optical Doppler tomographic (ODT) technique with very high flow-velocity sensitivity (10microm/s) and high spatial resolution (10microm) to image blood flow in port-wine stain (PWS) birthmarks in human skin. In addition to the regular ODT velocity and structural images, we use the variance of blood flow velocity to map the PWS vessels. Our device combines ODT and therapeutic systems such that PWS blood flow can be monitored in situ before and after laser treatment. To the authors' knowledge this is the first clinical application of ODT to provide a fast semiquantitative evaluation of the efficacy of PWS laser therapy in situ and in real time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of hepatic artery chemotherapeutic embolization combined with perfusing LAK cells/interleukin 2 into hepatic artery after radical operation of liver cancer. METHODS Random divide 42 cases into two groups who had accepted radical operation of liver cancer: 21 cases who accepted hepatic artery chemotherapeutic embolization combined with perfusing LAK cells/interleukin 2 into hepatic artery as observing group, 21 cases accepted simply hepatic artery chemotherapeutic embolization as control group. RESULTS The intrahepatic recurrence rates of 1, 2, and 3 years were 0, 19.05%, 57.14% in observing group, lower than 28.57%, 47.62%, 85.71% of control group (chi(2)=4.86, 3. 86 and 4.20 respectively, P<0.05). The survival rates of 2 and 3 years were 85.71%, 61.90% in observing group, higher than 57.14%, 28. 57% of control group (chi(2)=4.20 and 4.71, P<0.05). CONCLUSION Hepatic artery chemotherapeutic embolization combined with perfusing LAK cells/interleukin 2 into hepatic artery is an effective therapeutic method to control intrahepatic recurrence rates and raise the survival rates of the patients.

Abstract
We have developed a novel phase-resolved optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical Doppler tomography (ODT) system that uses phase information derived from a Hilbert transformation to image blood flow in human skin with fast scanning speed and high velocity sensitivity. Using the phase change between sequential scans to construct flow-velocity imaging, this technique decouples spatial resolution and velocity sensitivity in flow images and increases imaging speed by more than 2 orders of magnitude without compromising spatial resolution or velocity sensitivity. The minimum flow velocity that can be detected with an axial-line scanning speed of 400 Hz and an average phase change over eight sequential scans is as low as 10 microm/s, while a spatial resolution of 10 microm is maintained. Using this technique, we present what are to our knowledge the first phase-resolved OCT/ODT images of blood flow in human skin.

Abstract
A novel regulatory element (27 bp) which confers transcriptional repression was identified within the protein-coding region immediately after the translation start codon in the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 gene. Deletion of this element increased transcriptional activity in HepG2 cells by transient transfection assay. Nuclear protein extracts from HepG2 cells and human liver were found in electrophoretic mobility shift assays to bind specifically to the 27 bp element. A putative binding protein was partially purified by DNA-affinity chromatography and was determined by Southwestern blotting to have a molecular weight of approx. 100 kDa. Studies with mutated competitor oligonucleotides established that binding of the nuclear protein to the 27 bp cis-element was dependent upon two 6 bp direct repeats (5'-CTTGTG-3') that were separated by three bases. It is possible that this novel cis-acting element may be involved in the negative regulation of CYP2C9.

Abstract
The cytokine profile in adenoidal lymphoid tissue was studied in 22 patients. Lymphocytes from adenoid tissues and peripheral blood were submitted for cytokine assays using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for interferon-gamma, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10. Adenoidal lymphocytes appear to produce significantly less Th1 cytokines (IL-2, interferon gamma) compared to the patient's peripheral blood lymphocytes, whereas IL-4 and IL-5 (Th2 cytokines) appear to be synthesized to the same extent as, if not slightly more than, in the homologous peripheral blood lymphocytes. Because the relationship between Th1 and Th2 cytokines is extremely important in modulating the immune response, it is advisable to determine the role of the cytokine profiles of T-lymphocytes in the nasopharynx and its relationship to the development of inflammation of the eustachian tube and middle ear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retinoic acid (RA) has important immune-modulating effects on both T and B cell function. Our laboratory has shown that RA can enhance in vitro polyclonal B cell immunoglobulin (Ig) response. Investigating cytokines known to affect B cell differentiation, we have recently shown that IL-6 production is augmented by RA. In the present study we have examined the immune modulating effects of RA on IL-2 mRNA, another important cytokine for B cell immunoglobulin production, the expression of IL-2 receptors on T cells, and the RA nuclear receptors. METHODS Purified T cells were obtained from adenoidal tissues, and incubated with RA (10(-7) M) or DMSO solvent/media control for 0, 6-8, and 24 h. Total mRNA was extracted from T cells, and using RT-PCR, changes in the production of IL-2 and RA receptors (RAR)-alpha,beta,gamma mRNA were determined. The effects of RA on IL-2-alpha receptor expression was determined by flow cytometry on T cells. CONCLUSION These studies suggest that RA can augment IL-2 mRNA production by T cells with a possible paracrine effect on IL-2R-alpha expression. These changes appear to be mediated by RAR-alpha. Thus, IL-2 may be another important cytokine modulated by RA in the immune response.

Abstract
Crystal structures of the cytidine deaminase-uridine product complex prepared either by cocrystallizing enzyme with uridine or by diffusing cytidine into ligand-free crystals show that the product binds as a 4-ketopyrimidine. They reveal four additional features of the catalytic process. (1) A water molecule bound to a site previously observed to bind the incoming 4-NH2 group represents the site for the leaving ammonia molecule. The conserved Pro 128 accommodates both moieties by orienting the carbonyl group of the previous residue. (2) The Glu 104 carboxylate group rotates from its hydrogen bond to the O4 hydroxyl group in transition-state analog complexes, forming a new hydrogen bond to the leaving group moiety. Thus, after stabilizing the hydroxyl group in the transition state, Glu 104 transfers a proton from that group to the leaving amino group, promoting enol-to-keto isomerization of the product. (3) Difference Fourier comparisons with transition-state complexes indicate that the pyrimidine ring rotates toward the zinc by approximately 10 degrees. The active site thus "pulls" the ring and 4-NH2 group in opposite directions during catalysis. To preserve coplanarity of the 4-keto group with the pyrimidine ring, the N1-C1' glycosidic bond bends by approximately 19 degrees out of the ring plane. This distortion may "spring-load" the product complex and promote dissociation. Failure to recognize a similar distortion could explain an earlier crystallographic interpretation of the adenosine deaminase-inosine complex [Wilson, D. K., & Quiocho, F. A. (1994) Nat. Struct. Biol. 1, 691-694]. (4) The Zn-Sgamma132 bond, which lengthens in transition-state complexes, shortens as the O4 atom returns to a state of lower negative charge in the planar product, consistent with our previous proposal that this bond buffers the zinc bond valence, compensating buildup of negative charge on the oxygen nucleophile during catalysis.
