Abstract
Benzene poisoning can cause acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through a variety of passways. Tim-3 has gained prominence as a potential candidate in mediating immunosuppression in tumor microenvironments. The macrophage polarization is also related to immune escape. Herein, we reported that Tim-3 and macrophage M2 polarization play a vital role in benzene-induced AML. First, the benzene-induced AML C3H/He mouse model was constructed by subcutaneously injecting 250 mg/kg of benzene. After six months, macrophage phenotype, cytokines, and Tim-3 expression levels were investigated. Flow cytometry assay revealed that the T-cell inhibitory receptor Tim-3 was significantly upregulated in both bone marrow and spleen of the benzene-induced AML mouse model. Elisa's results displayed a decreased serum level of IL-12 while increased TGF-β1. Mechanistically, changes in cytokine secretion promote the growth of M2-type macrophages in the bone marrow and spleen, as determined by immunofluorescence assay. The increased levels of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR in the benzene-exposure group further proved the crucial role of Tim-3 in regulating the functional status of macrophages in the AML microenvironment. These results demonstrate that Tim-3 and macrophage polarization may play a vital role during the immune escape of the benzene-induced AML. This study provides a new potential intervention site for immune checkpoint-based AML therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of prenatal exome sequencing (pES) in fetuses with central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of fetuses identified to have CNS abnormality on prenatal ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging. All fetuses were first analyzed by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Fetuses with a confirmed aneuploidy or causal pathogenic copy-number variant (CNV) on CMA did not undergo pES analysis and were excluded, while those with a negative CMA result were offered pES testing. RESULTS Of the 167 pregnancies included in the study, 42 (25.1%) were identified to have a pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant. The diagnostic rate was significantly higher in fetuses with a non-isolated CNS abnormality than in those with a single CNS abnormality (35.7% (20/56) vs 14.5% (8/55); P = 0.010). Moreover, when a fetus had three or more CNS abnormalities, the positive diagnostic rate increased to 42.9%. A total of 25/42 (59.5%) cases had de-novo mutations, while, in the remaining cases, mutations were inherited and carried a significant risk of recurrence. Families whose fetus carried a P/LP mutation were more likely to choose advanced pregnancy termination than those with a variant of uncertain significance, secondary/incidental finding or negative pES result (83.3% (25/30) vs 41.3% (38/92); P < 0.001). CONCLUSION pES improved the identification of genetic disorders in fetuses with CNS anomalies without a chromosomal abnormality or CNV identified on CMA, regardless of the number of CNS anomalies and presence of extracranial abnormality. We also demonstrated that pES findings can significantly impact parental decision-making. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
To assess the diversity of bacterial taxa in Antarctic soils and obtain novel microbial resources, 15 samples from 3 sampling sites (DIS5, GWS7, FPS10) of South Shetland Islands and 2 sampling sites (APS18, CIS17) of Antarctic Peninsula were collected. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) of 16S rRNA genes within these samples was conducted on an Illumina Miseq platform. A total of 140,303 16S rRNA gene reads comprising 802 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained. After taxonomic classification, 25 phyla, 196 genera, and a high proportion of unidentified taxa were detected, among which seven phyla and 99 genera were firstly detected in Antarctica. The bacterial communities were dominated by Actinomycetota (40.40%), Pseudomonadota (17.14%), Bacteroidota (10.55%) and Chloroflexota (10.26%). Based on the HTS analyses, cultivation-dependent techniques were optimized to identify the cultivable members. A total of 30 different genera including 91 strains were obtained, the majority of which has previously been reported from Antarctica. However, for the genera Microterricola, Dyadobacter, Filibacter, Duganella, Ensifer, Antarcticirhabdus and Microvirga, this is the first report in Antarctica. In addition, seven strains represented novel taxa, two of which were psychropoilic and could be valuable resources for further research of cold-adaptability and their ecological significance in Antarctica.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is an effective treatment option for lung tumors. The individualized lung tumor SABR (iSABR) trial was a phase II single-arm study that personalized lung tumor SABR dose and fractionation based on tumor size, location, and histology with very low rates of local recurrence (LR). A secondary analysis of this trial was conducted to assess for potential dosimetric predictors of LR, in order to help guide future clinical treatment planning. MATERIALS/METHODS From 2011 to 2018, local, regional and distant recurrence data were prospectively collected from 204 patients (261 lung SABR treatments) enrolled in a prospective trial. Baseline characteristics and treatment details were evaluated. Dosimetric and treatment plan parameters were evaluated for their potential to predict LR, using logistic regression and chi-squared analyses. RESULTS The majority of treated tumors were peripheral (71%, vs 29% central), primary lesions (76%, versus 24% metastatic), and of adenocarcinoma histology (67%, versus 13% squamous cell carcinoma and 19% other). The median follow-up was 24 months (range 2-95). Twenty-seven (10.3%) LRs occurred, with a median time to LR of 15 months (range 6-81 months). There were no significant associations between the overall cohort and the dosimetric parameters. However, for the multi-fraction cohort, an increased proportion of the PTV receiving 110% and 115% of the prescription dose were associated with lower LR (p = 0.01 and p = 0.01 respectively). Specifically for the 50 Gy in 4 fraction cohort, an increased D1cc, D0.03cc, as well as the proportion of the PTV receiving 110%, 115%, and 120% of the prescription dose were associated with lower LR (p < 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.003, p < 0.001, p = 0.004, respectively). There was no association of LR with prescription dose expressed as biologically effective dose using an alpha/beta of 10 Gy (BED10), D99%, or single- versus multi-fraction regimens. CONCLUSION SABR for lung tumors using the individualized protocol on this trial showed excellent LR rates. We identified dosimetric parameters that were associated with LR, including V110% and V115% within the multi-fraction cohort, as well as the 50 Gy in 4 fraction cohort the D1cc, D0.03cc, and proportions of the PTV receiving 110%, 115%, and 120% of the prescription dose in the 50 Gy in 4 fraction cohort. Optimal thresholds for these parameters will be identified in further analyses. There did not appear to be an association with LR and BED10, D99%, or comparing single- vs multi-fraction regimens.

Abstract
AIMS To preliminarily explore, whether glucocorticoids have a therapeutic effect on diquat-induced acute kidney injury in rats. METHOD 150 Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: exposure model group (DQ group), dexamethasone control group (GC group), blank control group (Ctrl group), dexamethasone 2.1 mg/kg dose group (DQ+L-GC group), dexamethasone 4.2 mg/kg dose group (DQ+M-GC group), and dexamethasone 8.4 mg/kg dose group (DQ+H-GC group), with 25 rats in each group. Each group was further divided into five subgroups, 24 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d after exposure, according to the feeding time and the course of treatment, with five animals in each subgroup. The rats in DQ, DQ+L-GC, DQ+M-GC, and DQ+H-GC groups were administered 115.5 mg/kg diquat by gavage, respectively. Moreover, 30 min after gavage, rats in DQ+L-GC group, DQ+M-GC group, DQ+H-GC group and GC group were intragastric administered dexamethasone 2.1 mg/kg, 4.2 mg/kg, 8.4 mg/kg and 8.4 mg/kg, respectively. After 7 days, the intraperitoneal injection of dexamethasone was changed to 6.3 mg/kg prednisone by intragastric administration. Subsequently, 7 days later, it was changed to 3.15 mg/kg prednisone by intragastric administration until the end of the experiment on 21 days. After the start of the experiment, changes in the conditions of the rats in each group were observed at a fixed time every day, changes in the body weight of the rats were monitored at the same time, and the death of the rats was recorded at 24 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d after exposure. The rats were sacrificed by an intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital overdose. Blood was collected by puncture of the inferior vena cava, used to determine Cr and BUN. The upper segment of the left kidney was collected for histopathological examination. Elisa was used to detect neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in the lower segment of left kidney. TLR4, Myd88, and NF-κB were detected in the right kidney. RESULTS (1) After exposure, most rats in DQ group, DQ+L-GC group, DQ+M-GC group and DQ+H-GC group showed shortness of breath, oliguria, diarrhea, yellow hair and other symptoms. No symptoms and related signs were observed in Ctrl group and GC group. (2) The weight of rats in the Ctrl group and the GC group increased slowly during the test. the body weight of the rats in the DQ, DQ+L-GC, DQ+M-GC, and DQ+H-GC groups continued to decrease after self-infection. Body weight dropped to the lowest point at approximately 7 d, and gradually increased from 7 d to 21 d. (3) A small amount of capillary congestion in the medulla was observed after 7 days in the GC group. The DQ group showed tubular atrophy, edema of the epithelial cells, and over time, the tubules were seen dilated and became irregular in shape; large amount of capillary congestion was also observed in the renal cortex and medulla. The renal injury in the DQ+L-GC group was less than that in the DQ group. DQ+H-GC group had no obvious injury before 7 d, but more renal tubules were seen in the DQ+H-GC group from 7 d to 14 d. (4) Compared with the DQ group, there was no difference before 14 d, and at 14 d-21 d, DQ+L-GC group, DQ+M-GC group, DQ+H-GC group all had different degrees of decline. NGAL content: Compared with the DQ group, the content of NGAL and KIM-1 in kidney tissue of the DQ+L-GC, DQ+M-GC, and DQ+H-GC groups decreased compared with the DQ group at each time node. (5) Compared with the Ctrl group, the expression of TNF-α, TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB in the DQ, DQ+L-GC, DQ+M-GC, and DQ+H-GC groups at each time node increased in the renal tissue. The content of TNF-α, TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB in kidney tissue of the DQ+L-GC, DQ+M-GC, and DQ+H-GC groups at each time node was lower than that in the DQ group. CONCLUSION (1) Diquat can cause kidney damage in rats, mainly manifested as renal tubular atrophy, epithelial cell edema, capillary congestion and dilation, and the renal function damage indicators have been improved to varying degrees. (2) Glucocorticoids have therapeutic effects on acute kidney injury in rats exposed to diquat. During the treatment, the efficacy of glucocorticoids did not increase with increasing doses after reaching a dose of 4.2 mg/kg. (3) TLR4 receptor-mediated TLR4/Myd88/NF-κB signaling pathway is involved in the inflammatory response of acute kidney injury in diquat poisoning rats. Glucocorticoids can inhibit the inflammatory response, thereby affecting the expression of TLR4/Myd88/NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins.

Abstract
AIM To construct and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram integrating radiomics signature and clinical factors to distinguish ovarian cystadenomas and endometriotic cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 287 patients with ovarian cystadenomas (n=196) or endometriotic cysts (n=91) were divided randomly into a training cohort (n=200) and a validation cohort (n=87). Radiomics features based on the portal venous phase of CT images were extracted by PyRadiomics. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operation regression was applied to select the significant features and develop the radiomics signature. A radiomics score (rad-score) was calculated. The clinical model was built by the significant clinical factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to construct the radiomics nomogram based on significant clinical factors and rad-score. The diagnostic performances of the radiomics nomogram, radiomics signature, and clinical model were evaluated and compared in the training and validation cohorts. Diagnostic confusion matrices of these models were calculated for the validation cohort and compared with those of the radiologists. RESULTS Seventeen radiomics features from CT images were used to build the radiomics signature. The radiomics nomogram incorporating cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) level and rad-score showed the best performance in both the training and validation cohorts with AUCs of 0.925 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.885-0.965), and 0.942 (95% CI: 0.891-0.993), respectively. The accuracy of radiomics nomogram in the confusion matrix outperformed the radiologists. CONCLUSIONS The radiomics nomogram performed well for differentiating ovarian cystadenomas and endometriotic cysts, and may help in clinical decision-making process.

Abstract
To develop a sensitive, specific, and rapid approach for the detection Getah virus (GETV), a set of primers targeting the conserved region of the E1 gene was created. The TaqMan-based real-time PCR method for GETV detection was developed by optimizing the reaction conditions. The method demonstrated excellent specificity, and amplification did not occur with the causative agents of all prevalent swine viral infections (CSFV, PRRSV, PRV, PEDV, PTV, and JEV), except GETV. Additionally, upon assessing the sensitivity of the method, the minimum detection limit for GETV was found to be 5.94 copies/μL, which is 10 times higher than that of the traditional PCR approach. Further, the intra- and inter-assay variation coefficients were less than 1%, demonstrating good repeatability. Moreover, GETV was found in 10 of the 20 field serum samples using real-time PCR but only in three of the samples using traditional PCR. Consequently, the first GETV TaqMan-based real-time PCR approach based on the E1 gene was developed for GETV pathogenic diagnoses, and this exhibited high specificity, sensitivity, and repeatability. This assay is practical for the pathogenic diagnosis and epidemiology of GETV.

Abstract
Glyphosate was developed by Monsanto in the United States in the 1870s and has now become the world's best-selling pesticide. It is used in more than 100 countries and regions. Glyphosate is generally considered to be less toxic or even safe for mammals, including humans, and most patients with glyphosate poisoning have a better prognosis. However, this article reports a case of a 36-year woman who suffered severe gastrointestinal damage after oral administration of 50 ml of glyphosate. After the active rescue, scar contractures occurred in both the ooesophagus and trachea. The patient recovered clinically after undergoing reconstructive surgery. Key Words: Glyphosate poisoning, Chemical burns, Ooesophageal reconstruction, Tracheal reconstruction.

Abstract
A Gram-stain positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile rod-shaped strain, BY-33T, was isolated from a soil sample obtained from the Kubuqi Desert, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity revealed that strain BY-33T was most closely related to the genus Actinotalea, including Actinotalea ferrariae CF5-4T (98.2 % similarity), 'Actinotalea subterranea' HO-Ch2T (98.0 %), Actinotalea solisilvae THG-T121T (97.6 %), 'Actinotalea bogoriensis' 69B4T (97.5 %), Actinotalea fermentans MT (97.3 %) and 'Actinotalea carbonis' T26T (97.0 %). The strain grew at 0‒37 °C (optimum, 28-30 °C) and pH 6.0-11.0 (optimum, pH 9.0-10.0) and with 0‒8.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3.0%) on tryptic soy agar. It had catalase activity, but no oxidase activity. The polar lipids of strain BY-33T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. The major respiratory quinone of strain BY-33T was MK-10 (H4). Its major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 1 A and C16 : 0. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain BY-33T was 73.0 mol% based on total genome calculations. The average nucleotide identity scores between the genomic sequences of strain BY-33T and the other species of the genus Actinotalea were found to be low (ANIm <85.0 %, ANIb <77.0 % and OrthoANIu <78.0 %). Furthermore, the digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values between strain BY-33T and the closely related species ranged from 20.5 to 21.0% and from 62.2 to 72.2 %, respectively. Based on the results of phylogenetic, phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, it is concluded that strain BY-33T represents a novel species within the genus Actinotalea, for which the name Actinotalea soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BY-33T (=CGMCC 1.17460T=KCTC 49362T).

Abstract
Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare haemorrhagic disease characterized by spontaneous extensive subcutaneous haemorrhage and soft tissue haematoma. The activated partial thromboplastin time is significantly prolonged and cannot be corrected by normal plasma. Approximately 50% of AHA patients lack a specific aetiology, so this can easily result in a misdiagnosis. This current case report describes a 27-year-old male that presented with gingival bleeding, haematuria and haematochezia with no obvious cause. At first, it was thought that he might have experienced anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning, but the subsequent anticoagulant rodenticide test was negative. At the same time, the patient was screened for mutations associated with bleeding and coagulation diseases. Two mutations were identified: a p.Y471H mutation the plasminogen activator, tissue type (PLAT) gene; and a p.Y244Y mutation the serpin family E member 1 (SERPINE1) gene. It should be noted that patient had no previous history of thrombosis or haemorrhagic disease, which confused the diagnosis. A professional haemophilia research centre provided clarification of the diagnosis when anti-factor VIII antibodies were detected. The patient was treated with 30 mg/day prednisone orally. Multiple follow-up examinations showed continuous complete remission. No factor VIII antibodies were detected in his blood and coagulation factor VIII increased significantly.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Genetic testing for inherited arrhythmias and discriminating pathogenic from benign variants are integral for the gene-based medicine. However, the high throughput in vivo functional analysis for the rare variants of the KCNQ1 potassium channel is scarce.
Purpose
We tested the utility of the in vivo zebrafish cardiac assay for determining the pathogenicity of the KCNQ1 variants identified in patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods
We generated a knock-out zebrafish with CRISPR-mediated insertions or deletions of the KCNQ1 homolog in zebrafish (kcnq1+/+). To test the utility of the cardiac assay, we used five KCNQ1 variants identified in patients with LQTS or familial AF. Human wild-type or mutant KCNQ1 cRNA (Q1) was co-injected with human KCNE1 cRNA (E1) into the F3 generation embryos with homozygous deletions. We dissected the hearts from the thorax at 72 hour-post-fertilization and measured transmembrane potential in zebrafish heart using the disrupted patch technique. Action potential duration was calculated as the time interval between the peak maximum upstroke velocity and 90% of repolarization (APD90). We compared the APD90s with patients' clinical phenotype and IKs density measured by patch-clamp technique in heterologous system.
Results
The mean APD90 of embryos with kcnq1del/del was 279±48 ms, which was restored by injecting Q1 WT and E1 (159±29 ms) to that with kcnq1+/+ (167±28 ms). We tested if the mean APD90 of embryos with kcnq1del/del was restored (shortened) by injecting the KCNQ1 variants. First we tested the dominant negative variant p.S277L and the trafficking deficient variant p.T587M. Patients with these variants showed significant prolonged QT intervals, and patch clamp study showed both variants caused the non-functional channels. Zebrafish cardiac assay showed the mean APD90 of embryos with kcnq1del/del+ Q1 S277L+E1 or Q1 T587M+E1 was significantly longer than that with kcnq1del/del+Q1 WT+E1 (Table). Next we tested in-frame variant c.1472_1473 ins GGACCT, which was identified from a patient with AF and normal QT interval. Patch clamp study showed the current density of the mutant KCNQ1 channel with KCNE1 was comparable to that of wild-type KCNQ1 channel with KCNE1. Zebrafish assay showed the mean APD90 of embryos with kcnq1del/del shortened by injecting Q1 insACCTGG +E1 (Table). Finally we tested a missense variant p.R451Q, which was identified from a patient with LQTS. Patch clamp study showed the currents in the cells transfected with R451Q+KCNE1 were similar to those with WT+KCNE1. Zebrafish assay showed the mean APD90 of embryos with kcnq1del/del+Q1 R451Q+E1 was longer than that with kcnq1del/del+Q1 WT+E1 (Table).
Conclusions
Functional analysis of in vivo zebrafish cardiac assay might be useful for determining the pathogenicity of rare variants in patients with LQTS.

Abstract
Acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) with cardiac arrest has an extremely high mortality rate, and corresponding therapeutic strategies have rarely been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the prognostic factors and effective treatments of AOPP-related cardiac arrest. This retrospective study was conducted in our department in the years 2018–2021. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the clinical manifestations, rescue strategies, and prognosis of patients with AOPP who had experienced cardiac arrest and successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This study included six cases of patients with AOPP in addition to cardiac arrest; in four cases, cardiac arrest occurred <12 h after ingestion, and in two, cardiac arrest occurred more than 48 h after ingestion. Five patients had not undergone hemoperfusion therapy before cardiac arrest, and all six were treated with atropine during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and subsequent pralidoxine. Four patients recovered and were discharged from the hospital, one died in our department, and one was transferred to a local hospital and died there 2 h later. The last two patients had severe pancreatic injuries and disseminated intravascular coagulation. This, along with their death, might have been related to their prognosis. Cardiac arrest can occur in patients with severe AOPP for whom antidote administration was insufficient or not timely. Application of atropine and pralidoxine in a timely manner after cardiac arrest following AOPP is the key to successful treatment. This study provides useful guidelines for the treatment of similar cases in the future.

Abstract
Objective To develop and confirm an individualized predictive model to ascertain the probability of deep venous thrombosis in patients with acute poisoning after undergoing hemoperfusion. Methods Three hundred eleven patients with acute poisoning who were admitted to a hospital in China between October 2017 and February 2019 were included in the development group. Eighty patients with acute poisoning who were admitted between February and May 2019 were included in the validation group. The independent risk factors for deep venous thrombosis were examined. An individualized predictive model was developed using regression coefficients. Results The number of catheter indwelling days, having a catheter while being transported, elevated serum homocysteine concentrations, and dyslipidemia were independent risk factors for deep venous thrombosis following hemoperfusion in patients with acute poisoning. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the development and validation groups were 0.713 and 0.702, respectively, which suggested that the prediction model had good discrimination capacity. The calibration belts of the two groups were ideal. Conclusions Our prediction model has a moderate predictive effect for the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis in patients with acute poisoning. In clinical practice, this model could be combined with a common thrombosis risk assessment model.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While 4-chloro-1-nitrobenzene has oxidising properties and can lead to methaemoglobinaemia and haemolysis, such reports are rare. We herein describe two cases of 4-chloro-1-nitrobenzene poisoning after skin exposure and detail relevant clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year-old man and his 32-year-old male co-worker presented at our department shortly after skin exposure to 4-chloro-1-nitrobenzene. They developed similar symptoms, including dizziness, dyspnoea, excessive fatigue, and coma. Patients' chest inspection yielded normal findings. Despite maximal oxygen supplementation, neither patient exhibited improvements in the following clinical parameters: diffuse cyanosis, chocolate-coloured blood, and decreased pulse oximetry. For patients 1 and 2, methaemoglobin levels at admission were 78.6% and 63.6%, and 4-chloro-1-nitrobenzene concentrations were 4.12 μg/mL and 2.89 μg/mL, respectively. Their symptoms and methaemoglobin levels improved after we cautiously administered methylene blue; we subsequently detected oxidative haemolysis (confirmed by peripheral blood smears) that later resolved without further aggravation. No further episodes of anaemia were documented via telephone follow-up for eight months after hospital discharge for either patient. DISCUSSION Typical features of methaemoglobinaemia included diffuse cyanosis, dark chocolate-coloured blood, elevated partial pressure of oxygen, and decreased pulse oximetry saturation. Haemolysis likely occurred secondary to the toxic effects of 4-chloro-1-nitrobenzene.

Abstract
Diquat (1,1'-ethylene-2,2'-bipyridylium) is a type of widely used agricultural chemical, whose toxicity results in damage to numerous tissues, including the lung, liver, kidney and brain. The aim of the present study was to establish a rat model of acute diquat exposure and explore the relationship between diquat concentration, and kidney and lung injury, in order to provide an experimental basis for clinical treatment. A total of 140 healthy adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control and exposure groups. The diquat solution was administered intragastrically to the exposure group at 1/2 of the lethal dose (140 mg/kg). An equal volume of water was administered to the control group. The dynamic changes in the plasma and tissue diquat levels were quantitatively determined at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 h following exposure using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The content of hydroxyproline (HYP) in the lung tissues, as well as the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and tumor growth factor (TGF)-β1, were detected using western blot analysis at every time point. Lung and kidney morphology were also assessed. Electron microscopy showed that the degree of renal damage gradually increased with time. Vacuolation gradually increased, some mitochondrial bilayer membrane structures disappeared and lysosomes increased. The lung tissue damage was mild, and the cell membrane integrity and organelles were damaged to varying degrees. The plasma and organ levels of diquat peaked at ~2 h, followed by a steady decrease, depending on the excretion rate. Over time, the serum concentrations of UA, BUN, Cr and KIM-1 were all significantly increased (P<0.05). Serum KIM-1 in rats was increased after 0.5 h, and was significantly increased after 4 h, suggesting that KIM-1 is an effective predictor of early renal injury. Early TGF-β1 expression was clearly observed in renal tissue, while no clear TGF-β1 expression was observed in the lung tissue. In conclusion, the concentration of diquat in the serum and tissue of rats with acute diquat poisoning peaked at an early stage and then rapidly decreased. The renal function damage and pathological changes persisted, the lung tissue was slightly damaged with inflammatory cell infiltration, and early pulmonary fibrosis injury was not obvious.

Abstract
Strain 3F2T was isolated from a soil sample obtained from the surface of Deception Island, Antarctica. The isolate was a Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, and its colonies were red to pink in colour. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 3F2T belonged to the genus
Hymenobacter
, family
Hymenobacteraceae
and was most closely related to
Hymenobacter sedentarius
DG5BT (97.0% sequence similarity),
Hymenobacter soli
PB17T (96.9%),
Hymenobacter terrae
DG7AT (96.8%) and
Hymenobacter rufus
S1-2-2-6T (96.5%). Growth occurred at 4–20 °C (optimum, 10 °C), up to 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0%) and pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain 3F2T, which had MK-7 as its predominant menaquinone and summed feature 3 (C16:1
ω7c and/or C16:1
ω6c), iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0 and C16:1
ω5c as its major fatty acids, were consistent with classification in the genus
Hymenobacter
. The polar lipid profile of strain 3F2T comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, two unidentified aminophospholipids and three unidentified polar lipids. The genome of strain 3F2T was 6.56 Mbp with a G+C content of 61.5 mol%. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between 3F2T and the other species of the genus
Hymenobacter
were found to be low (ANIm <87.0%, ANIb <82.0% and OrthoANIu <83.0%). Furthermore, digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values between strain 3F2T and the closely related species ranged from 20.0 to 26.3% and from 64.0 to 81.1 %, respectively. Based on the results of our phylogenetic, phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, it is concluded that strain 3F2T represents a novel species within the genus
Hymenobacter
, for which the name Hymenobacter terricola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 3F2T (=KCTC 72468T=CGMCC 1.13716T).

Abstract
We report two suicidal cases of acute methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) poisoning. A woman in her late 60s suffered from oral mucosal erosion, functional impairment of the heart, liver and other organs, pulmonary inflammation, elevated inflammatory markers, pleural effusion, hypoproteinemia and metabolic acidosis after oral administration of approximately 50 mL of MEKP. After admission, the patient was administered hemoperfusion four times, 8 mg of betamethasone for 6 days and symptomatic support. Hemoperfusion had an obvious effect on the treatment of oral MEKP poisoning. After discharge, the patient developed progressive dysphagia and secondary esophageal stenosis. Supplementary feeding was administered with a gastrostomy tube after the patient was completely unable to eat. A man in his mid-40s developed oropharyngeal mucosal erosion, bronchitis and esophageal wall thickening after oral administration of 40 ml MEKP. After receiving total gastrointestinal dispersal, 80 mg of methylprednisolone was administered for 7 days, and symptomatic supportive treatment was provided. Slight dysphagia was observed after discharge, and there was no major effect on the quality of life. Patients with acute oral MEKP poisoning should be followed up regularly to observe its long-term effects on digestive tract corrosion and stenosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diquat-related acute kidney injury is well-known. However, neurological disorders caused by diquat are often underestimated, and changes in the imaging findings are rarely reported. We present three cases of acute diquat poisoning resulting in toxic encephalopathy. CASE REPORT In the first case, a 20-year-old previously healthy man ingested approximately 80-100 mL of diquat. He developed acute renal failure, neurological disorders, and respiratory failure. Central pontine myelinolysis was considered by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 18 days after ingestion. In the second case, a 20-year-old man ingested approximately 100 mL of diquat. Toxic encephalopathy was confirmed by MRI, 13 days after ingestion. Unfortunately, he experienced cardiac arrest and died 18 days after ingestion. In the third case, a 31-year-old previously healthy man ingested approximately 50 mL of diquat. The imaging features of toxic encephalopathy mainly involved the medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain, bilateral brachium pontis, cerebellum, and pedunculus cerebri. He demonstrated significant recovery. DISCUSSION Ingestion of diquat can cause acute renal failure, neurological disorders, and respiratory failure. The pons, midbrain, pedunculus cerebri may be the most commonly impaired locations of diquat-related toxic encephalopathy.

Abstract
Abstract
Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata) is an invasive weed species native to eastern Asia affecting much of the southeastern United States. Its broad leaves and viny growth allow it to outcompete native plant species for sunlight and nutrients. Kudzu, however, is a leguminous plant, making it a potential feedstock for ruminant species. Browsing ruminants in areas affected by kudzu could benefit animal productivity while serving to ameliorate rapid plant growth. This study specifically sought to assess the overall rumen degradability, rate of digestion, digestible fraction, and indigestible fraction using an in situ methodology. In situ rumen degradability was analyzed using four ruminally fistulated steers as individual experimental units over two repeated trials. Samples were incubated at 1, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 h. Kudzu used in these trials was collected during September, making analysis in this study a reflection of degradability toward the end of the growing season. Data were analyzed as a randomized complete block design with repeated measures showing no significant differences between steers or trials (P > 0.05). Overall degradability across all steers and times was 69.79%. Significant changes in dry matter disappearance across all steers were observed at 1, 12, and 24 h (P < 0.05) with values of 33.86, 64.78, and 74.26%, respectively, and highest observed degradability at 72 h (79.55%). Incubation times between 24 and 72 h were not used in determining rate of digestion as dry matter disappearances throughout these times were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Rate of digestion (kd) was determined, using linear regression, to be 1.68% ∙ h-1 along with a digestible fraction (Do) of 28.29% and indigestible fraction (U) of 22.03%. The results of this study reflect that kudzu maintains a relatively high level of rumen degradability toward seasonal senescence, making it a functional feedstock even into the cooler months.

Abstract
Olanzapine is a widely adopted atypical antipsychotic medication used to manage schizophrenia. Reports show that the incidence rate of adverse reactions to olanzapine is significantly lower than those of other classic antipsychotic medications. However, olanzapine overdose may be associated with severe consequences. Herein, we report a 21-year-old female patient who had taken nearly 700 mg (70 tablets) of olanzapine; she was found after 30 hours. As her condition progressed, she presented with rhabdomyolysis, swelling in the thighs and hips, paralytic ileus, digestive tract hemorrhage, and elevated serum amylase and lipase levels; notably, she recovered after treatment. This intractable case is of great clinical significance and suggests that early-phase hemoperfusion plays a critical role in olanzapine poisoning-related rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION The relationship between urinary excretion rate of glucose (UEGL) and uric acid (UA) metabolism in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear to date. This study aimed to investigate the relationships of UEGL with serum UA (SUA), urinary excretion rate of uric acid (UEUA), and renal clearance of uric acid (CLUA) in adults with T2D. We hypothesised that high UEGL increases UA excretion, which in turn leads to lower SUA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 635 inpatients with T2D recruited between 2018 and 2019. The relationships of UEGL with UEUA, CLUA, and hyperuricaemia were assessed using analysis of covariance and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS Patients in the higher quartile of UEGL tended to have lower SUA levels than those in the lower quartile. In contrast, patients in the higher quartile of UEGL tended to have higher CLUA (p for trend < 0.0001), and a similar trend was observed for UEUA. In adjusted multivariable linear regression model, UEGL was negatively correlated with SUA (β = - 0.023, 95% CI - 0.034 to - 0.013, p < 0.0001). However, positive correlations of UEGL with UEUA (β = 0.046, 95% CI 0.018-0.074, p = 0.001) and CLUA (β = 0.063, 95% CI 0.042-0.085, p < 0.0001) were found. Furthermore, consistent significant inverse associations were observed between quartiles of UEGL and hyperuricaemia in the adjusted multivariate logistic regression model. CONCLUSIONS A high UEGL level was positively correlated with UEUA and CLUA. Moreover, it was inversely associated with SUA level, and a consistently increased UEGL level reduced the risk of hyperuricaemia in patients with T2D.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the current status of foreign dual-degree programs of Medical Doctor (MD) and Master of Public Health (MPH) and provide evidence-based decision-making reference for promoting the education of high-level applied public health talents in China. Methods: The list of involved institutions and information of foreign MD-MPH dual-degree programs was collected through literature retrieval, online information searching, and additional survey of key figures. We extracted the details of each project regarding professional fields, core competence, length of schooling, teaching and learning arrangement, internship eligibility, and graduation assessment. Python 3.8.0 was used for data cleaning, and the occurrence frequency of related items in each dimension was calculated. Results: A total of 99 MD-MPH programs from 104 foreign institutions were included, among which 97.1% of them were implemented in universities from the United States. The School of Public Health provided 42.4% (42/99) of the programs. Epidemiology was the major discipline set up among most programs, accounting for 12.0% (29/241) of all the specialties involved. Epidemiological research methods, health policy management and practice, and public health practice were the top 3 core competencies to be mastered. Of the 99 programs, 87 gave information on the length of the program, of which 74.7% (65/87) were five years, 6.9% (6/87) were four years, and 18.4% (16/87) included both 4-year and 5-year programs. Conclusions: The international MD-MPH programs were sophisticated and mainly organized by the School of Public Health alone or in conjunction with the School of Medicine. Epidemiology is the core course and competence objective, with a length of 4-5 years. Through learning experience from international MD-MPH programs and the Chinese unique medical development background, China should optimize its medical education system to develop a suitable talent training strategy for MD-MPH dual-degree programs in the new era.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of curcumin on cell cycle and apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells and the possible molecular mechanism. OBJECTIVE Cultured human lens epithelial cell line HLEC-SRA01/04 was treated with 20, 40 and 60 μmol/L curcumin for 24 or 48 h. The cell proliferation inhibition rate was determined using MTT assay, and the changes in cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis rate were analyzed with flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of caspase-9, caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, cyclin B1, CDK1, β-catenin, c-myc, and cyclin D1 in the cells. OBJECTIVE Curcumin concentration- and time-dependently inhibited the proliferation of in HLEC-SRA01/04 cells as compared with the control cells (P < .05). Flow cytometric analysis showed that curcumin significantly increased apoptosis rate and cell percentage in G2/M phase and lowered mitochondrial membrane potential of HLEC-SRA01/04 cells in a concentrationdependent manner (P < 0.05). The results of Western blotting showed that curcumin also concentration-dependently increased the cellular expressions of caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bax and lowered the expressions of Bcl-2, cyclin B1, CDK1 and β-catenin along with the downstream proteins cyclin D1 and c-myc in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway (P < 0.05). OBJECTIVE Curcumin inhibits the proliferation of HLEC-SRA01/04 cells possibly by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and causing cell cycle arrest to induce cell apoptosis.

Abstract
As a very promising immunotherapy, PD-1/PD-L1 blockade has revolutionized the treatment of a variety of tumor types, resulting in significant clinical efficacy and lasting responses. However, these therapies do not work for a large proportion of patients initially, which is called primary resistance. And more frustrating is that most patients eventually develop acquired resistance after an initial response to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. The mechanisms that lead to primary and acquired resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition have remained largely unclear. Recently, the gut microbiome has emerged as a potential regulator for PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. This review elaborates on the current understanding of the mechanisms in terms of PD-1 related signaling pathways and necessary factors. Moreover, this review discusses new strategies to increase the efficacy of immunotherapy from the perspectives of immune markers and gut microbiome.

Abstract
Secondary organizing pneumonia (SOP) is a nonspecific inflammatory response
towards acute lung injuries caused by various diseases. However, organizing
pneumonia (OP) secondary to occupational acute nitrogen oxide poisoning has been
reported rarely. We report a 49-year-old man who suffered from nitrogen oxide
poisoning after inhaling mixed gas at work. After pathological examination, he
was diagnosed with OP. In the absence of other underlying factors causing OP, he
was diagnosed with SOP owing to acute nitrogen oxide poisoning. After systematic
treatment, the patient recovered and was discharged in better health. In
patients with lung injury caused by acute nitrogen oxide poisoning, physicians
should be alert to the risk of patients subsequently developing SOP, and timely
diagnosis and treatment are essential for complete recovery.

Abstract
Cells penetrating into confinement undergo mesenchymal-to-amoeboid transition. The topographical features of the microenvironment expose cells to different hydraulic resistance levels. How cells respond to hydraulic resistance is unknown. We show that the cell phenotype shifts from amoeboid to mesenchymal upon increasing resistance. By combining automated morphological tracking and wavelet analysis along with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), we found an oscillatory phenotypic transition that cycles from blebbing to short, medium, and long actin network formation, and back to blebbing. Elevated hydraulic resistance promotes focal adhesion maturation and long actin filaments, thereby reducing the period required for amoeboid-to-mesenchymal transition. The period becomes independent of resistance upon blocking the mechanosensor TRPM7. Mathematical modeling links intracellular calcium oscillations with actomyosin turnover and force generation and recapitulates experimental data. We identify hydraulic resistance as a critical physical cue controlling cell phenotype and present an approach for connecting fluorescent signal fluctuations to morphological oscillations.

Abstract
High levels or long periods of stress have been shown to negatively impact cell homeostasis, including with respect to abnormalities in domestic animal reproduction, which are typically activated through the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, in which corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) are involved. In addition, CRH has been reported to inhibit pituitary gonadotrophin synthesis, and HSP70 is expressed in the pituitary gland. The aim of this study was to determine whether HSP70 was involved in regulating gonadotrophin synthesis and secretion by mediating the CRH pathway in the porcine pituitary gland. Our results showed that HSP70 was highly expressed in the porcine pituitary gland, with over 90% of gonadotrophic cells testing HSP70 positive. The results of functional studies demonstrated that the HSP70 inducer decreased FSH and LH levels in cultured porcine primary pituitary cells, whereas an HSP70 inhibitor blocked the negative effect of CRH on gonadotrophin synthesis and secretion. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that HSP70 inhibited gonadotrophin synthesis and secretion by blocking GnRH-induced SMAD3 phosphorylation, which acts as the targeting molecule of HSP70, while CRH upregulated HSP70 expression through the PKC and ERK pathways. Collectively, these data demonstrate that HSP70 inhibits pituitary gonadotrophin synthesis and secretion by regulating the CRH signaling pathway and inhibiting SMAD3 phosphorylation, which are important for our understanding the mechanisms of the stress affects domestic animal reproductive functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary analysis of the phase III trial BG01-1323L demonstrated that utidelone plus capecitabine significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR) versus capecitabine alone in heavily-pretreated patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Here, we report the final overall survival (OS) analysis and updates of other endpoints. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 405 patients were randomised 2:1 to receive utidelone (30 mg/m2 IV daily, days 1-5, over 90 min) plus capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 orally b.i.d., days 1-14) or capecitabine alone (1250 mg/m2 orally b.i.d., days 1-14) every 21 days. The secondary endpoint, OS, was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit approach at a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 after the prespecified 310 death events had been reached. Exploratory analyses of the primary endpoint, PFS, and the secondary endpoint, ORR, were also done. Safety was analysed in patients who had at least one dose of study drug. RESULTS At the final OS analysis, the median duration of follow-up was 19.6 months in the utidelone plus capecitabine group and 15.4 months in the capecitabine alone group. In the intention-to-treat population, 313 deaths had occurred at data cut-off, 203 of 270 patients in the combination group and 110 of 135 in the monotherapy group. Median OS in the combination group was 19.8 months compared with 16.0 months in the monotherapy group [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.75, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.59-0.94, P = 0.0142]. The updated analysis of PFS and ORR showed that the combination therapy remained superior to monotherapy. Safety results were similar to those previously reported with respect to incidence, severity and specificity. No late-emerging toxicities or new safety concerns occurred. CONCLUSIONS For heavily-pretreated, anthracycline- and taxane-resistant MBC patients, utidelone plus capecitabine significantly improved OS versus capecitabine alone. These results support the use of utidelone plus capecitabine as a novel therapeutic regimen for patients with MBC.

Abstract
Peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) is a promising prodrug in drug delivery systems. To fabricate nanostructures with proper molecular design which can self-assemble to spherical morphologies is very important for PDC chemotherapy. In this study, a novel PDC (PDC-DOX2), in which two doxorubicin (DOX) molecules are conjugated onto a short peptide (KIGLFRWR) with self-assembly function, was designed and synthesized. PDC-DOX2 with self-assembly properties forms a spherical structure under hydrophobic interaction in water. Hyaluronic acid (HA) was then coated on PDC-DOX2 micelles to form a HA-shelled, peptide-doxorubicin conjugate-cored nanomedicine (HA@PDC-DOX2). The amount of HA can regulate the particle size and stabilization of HA@PDC-DOX2. In addition, HA can actively enhance the targeting effects of PDC-DOX2 micelles since it can interact with overexpressed receptors in cancer cells. The core-shell structured HA@PDC-DOX2 nanomedicine showed significantly enhanced potency against hepatocellular carcinoma compared to PDC-DOX2 micelles as well as free DOX. In this work, a novel PDC which can self-assemble to spherical morphologies and a core-shell structure HA@PDC-DOX2 nanomedicine are designed and prepared. It provides a convenient strategy for the size control of PDC assemblies and constructs effective PDC-based drug delivery systems for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background:Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most severe complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Circular RNAs(circRNAs) can act as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to regulate gene transcription, which is involved in mechanism of many diseases, such as, autoimmunity diseases. However, the role of circRNA in lupus nephritis has been rarely reported.Objectives:In this study, we aim to investigate the clinical value of circRNAs and explore the mechanism of circRNA involvement in the pathogenesis of LN.Methods:Renal tissues from three untreated LN patients and three normal controls (NCs) were used to identify differently expressed circRNAs by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Validated assays were used by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to reveal the clinical value of selected circRNA, miRNA and mRNA. The interactions between circRNA and miRNA, or miRNA and mRNA were further determined by luciferase reporter assay. The degrees of renal fibrosis between the two groups were compared by Masson-trichome staining and immunohistochemistry staining.Results:159 circRNAs were significantly dysregulated in LN patients compared with NC group. The expression of hsa_circ_0123190 was significantly decreased in renal tissues of patients with LN (p=0.014), as same as the sequencing results. The area under the ROC curve of hsa_circ_0123190 in renal tissues was 0.820. Bio-informatic analysis and luciferase reporter assay illustrated that hsa_circ_0123190 can act as a sponge for hsa-miR-483-3p which was also validated to interact with APLNR mRNA. APLNR mRNA expression was positively related with chronicity index (CI) of LN (R2=0.452,p=0.033). Finally, the factors of renal fibrosis, especially TGF-β (p=0.018), were more pronounced in the LN group.Conclusion:Hsa_circ_0123190 could function as a ceRNA to regulate APLNR expression involved in renal fibrosis by sponging hsa-miR-483-3p in LNReferences:[1]Aljaberi N, Bennett M, Brunner HI, Devarajan P.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To observe the effect of early nutritional intervention on radiation-induced oral mucositis and nutritional status in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). METHODS A total of 54 HNC patients were divided into early (28 cases) and late (26 cases) nutritional intervention groups. The early group received enteral nutrition at the beginning of radiotherapy (RT), while the late group received enteral nutrition after restricted feeding. Operators reported and assessed the timing and extent of oral mucositis and nutritional status during treatment. The nutritional status assessment indicators included body weight; body mass index (BMI); Patient-Generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) score; levels of albumin, hemoglobin and pre-albumin and total lymphocyte count. RESULTS The incidence of high-grade oral mucositis was significantly lower in the early group than that in the late group (P < 0.05). Nutritional status assessments showed more significant weight and BMI losses in the late group than in the early group at weeks 4 and 7 after RT (P < 0.01). The albumin decreased in the late group at week 7 after RT was more significant than that in the early group (P < 0.05). Albumin, hemoglobin and pre-albumin levels and total lymphocyte count decreased significantly in both groups (P > 0.05). During therapy, more patients in the early group were well-nourished and fewer were malnourished according to PG-SGA scores (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Early nutritional intervention can reduce the incidence of high-grade oral mucositis during RT in patients with HNC and improve the nutritional status during treatment, which has important clinical significance.

Abstract
Abstract
A method for the determination of total dietary fiber (TDF), as defined by the CODEX Alimentarius, was validated in foods. Based upon the principles of AOAC Official MethodsSM 985.29, 991.43, 2001.03, and 2002.02, the method quantitates high- and low-molecular-weight dietary fiber (HMWDF and LMWDF, respectively). In 2007, McCleary described a method of extended enzymatic digestion at 37C to simulate human intestinal digestion followed by gravimetric isolation and quantitation of HMWDF and the use of LC to quantitate low-molecular-weight soluble dietary fiber (LMWSDF). The method thus quantitates the complete range of dietary fiber components from resistant starch (by utilizing the digestion conditions of AOAC Method 2002.02) to digestion resistant oligosaccharides (by incorporating the deionization and LC procedures of AOAC Method 2001.03). The method was evaluated through an AOAC collaborative study. Eighteen laboratories participated with 16 laboratories returning valid assay data for 16 test portions (eight blind duplicates) consisting of samples with a range of traditional dietary fiber, resistant starch, and nondigestible oligosaccharides. The dietary fiber content of the eight test pairs ranged from 11.57 to 47.83. Digestion of samples under the conditions of AOAC Method 2002.02 followed by the isolation and gravimetric procedures of AOAC Methods 985.29 and 991.43 results in quantitation of HMWDF. The filtrate from the quantitation of HMWDF is concentrated, deionized, concentrated again, and analyzed by LC to determine the LMWSDF, i.e., all nondigestible oligosaccharides of degree of polymerization 3. TDF is calculated as the sum of HMWDF and LMWSDF. Repeatability standard deviations (sr) ranged from 0.41 to 1.43, and reproducibility standard deviations (sR) ranged from 1.18 to 5.44. These results are comparable to other official dietary fiber methods, and the method is recommended for adoption as Official First Action.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression and interaction of VHL/HIF-α pathways including HIF-1α, HIF-2α as well as VHL in erythroid progenitor cells of bone marrow from chronic mountain sickness (CMS) patients. Methods: A total of 25 patients with CMS and 21 healthy controls were recruited for this study. The CD71(+)CD235a(+) cells in bone marrow mononuclear cells, marked as erythroid progenitor cells, were isolated using MACS separation technology. The expression levels of HIF-1α, HIF-2α and VHL in erythroid progenitor cells were detected by Western blotting and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results: The mRNA levels of HIF-2α were higher in erythroid progenitor cells of CMS than in healthy controls [1.68 (0.81, 2.22) vs 0.98 (0.60, 1.19), P<0.05], while HIF-1α and VHL mRNA levels were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Spearman analyses indicated that HIF-2α mRNA was positively associated with hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the erythroid progenitor cells of CMS (ρ=0.504, P<0.05). Furthermore, the mRNA level of HIF-2α was correlated with the mRNA level of VHL in the erythroid progenitor cells of CMS (ρ=0.647, P<0.05).The protein levels of HIF-2α in the erythroid progenitor cells of CMS were higher than that of healthy controls [0.94(0.68, 3.30) vs 0.59(0.30, 0.88), P<0.05], but the protein levels of HIF-1α and VHL were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: The abnormal increased expression of HIF-2α in the erythroid progenitor cells of CMS patients leads to the abnormal expression of hypoxia sensitive genes downstream, participating in the occurrence and development of CMS.

Abstract
In recent years, the development and wide application of micro-electronic technology brings forward high demands for active thermal management systems. However, such systems are not only costly, but also usually tethered, and need constant power to operate. To avoid such a limitation, smart thermal management systems have been developed to achieve active thermal management. Here, inspired by the temperature control principle of a butterfly, a shape memory polymer was used to endow the thermally conductive graphene-polymer hybrid film with intelligence. As the device temperature reaches 60 °C, the bud-shaped hybrid film started to bloom, which is a visually active heat dissipation process. As a result, this active process promoted the thermal management capacity of the hybrid film and increased the temperature-raising time of the light-emitting diode. Through the construction of a bilayer structure, the transmission channel for phonon transfer was optimized, which lead the hybrid film to attain a remarkable thermal conductivity of 21.83 W·m-1·K-1 with 30 wt % graphene. This graphene-polymer hybrid film shows potential application in the smart thermal management field.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pertuzumab and trastuzumab (P and H; F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Basel, CH) bind to distinct HER2 subdomains and have complementary modes of anticancer activity in HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). A global Phase II study (NeoSphere) reported that neoadjuvant treatment with P+H+docetaxel (D) significantly increased breast pathologic complete response (bpCR) vs H+D in patients (pts) with early/locally advanced/inflammatory HER2-positive BC (Gianni et al. Lancet Oncol 2012). PEONY (NCT02586025), a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III trial conducted in an Asian population (mainland China, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand), primarily compared the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of P+H+D vs placebo (Pla)+H+D in the neoadjuvant setting. We present data from the primary analysis.
Methods
Pts with centrally confirmed HER2-positive early (T2–3, N0–1)/locally advanced (T2–3, N2 or N3; T4, any N) BC were randomized 2:1 to 4 cycles of P+H+D or Pla+H+D every 3 weeks, before surgery: P, 840 mg loading/420 mg maintenance doses (or Pla); H, 8 mg/kg loading/6 mg/kg maintenance; D, 75 mg/m2. Post-surgery, pts received 3 cycles of fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide followed by 13 cycles of P+H or Pla+H for up to 1 year (total of 17 HER2-targeted therapy cycles). The primary endpoint was total pCR rate (tpCR; absence of any residual invasive cancer in the breast and lymph nodes [ypT0/is, ypN0]) assessed by independent review committee (IRC) when pts completed surgery with a tpCR assessment. Missing/invalid assessments were considered residual disease.
Results
A total of 329 pts were randomized: 219 to P, 110 to Pla. Baseline characteristics were well balanced. Most pts had early BC (69.6%) and were from mainland China (79.3%). In the intention-to-treat population, the tpCR rate by IRC was 39.3% in the P arm and 21.8% in the Pla arm; a clinically and statistically significant difference of 17.5% (95% CI 6.9–28.0; p=0.0014). The local pathologist-assessed tpCR rates were 39.3% and 20.9%, respectively. A consistent treatment benefit of P vs Pla was observed in subgroups. Incidences of grade ≥3 adverse events (Aes) were 48.6% in the P arm and 41.8% in the Pla arm. Of the most common grade 3 Aes (≥3% of pts), neutropenia was higher in the P arm (38.1% vs 32.7%). Of the most common any-grade Aes (≥5%), diarrhea was higher in the P arm (38.5% vs 16.4%). No heart failure (New York Heart Association Functional Classification III or IV) or significant left ventricular ejection fraction decline events (≥10 percentage points from baseline and to <50%) were observed during neoadjuvant therapy.
Conclusions
PEONY met its primary endpoint: P+H+D resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in the tpCR rate by IRC vs Pla+H+D for the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive early/locally advanced BC in Asian pts. Safety data were in line with the known P safety profile and generally comparable between treatment arms. Results were similar to NeoSphere, and confirm that P+H+D provides superior anticancer activity to H+D alone.
