Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a regulatory role in periodontitis. This study aimed to explore whether miR-29a could affect lipopolysaccharides (LPSs)-induced injury in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) through the competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) mechanism. Periodontal ligament (PDL) tissues and HGFs were derived from patients with periodontitis and healthy volunteers. Periodontitis cell model was established by treating HGFs with LPS. Expression levels of circ_0036490, miR-29a, and DKK1 were evaluated by the reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) method. Western blotting assay was performed to assess protein expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins and Wnt signalling related proteins. Cell viability was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Concentration of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18 were determined by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pyroptosis rate were determined by flow cytometry assay to evaluate pyroptosis. The interaction between miR-29a and circ_0036490 or DKK1 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. MiR-29a expression was lower in PDL tissues of patients with periodontitis than that in healthy group; likewise, miR-29a was also downregulated in LPS-treated HGFs. Overexpression of miR-29a increased cell viability and decreased pyroptosis of HGFs induced by LPS while inhibition of miR-29a exerted the opposite role. MiR-29a binds to circ_0036490 and elevation of circ_0036490 contributed to dysfuntion of LPS-treated HGFs and reversed the protection function of elevated miR-29a. In addition, miR-29a targets DKK1. Overexpression of DKK1 abrogated the effects of overexpressed miR-29a on cell vaibility, pyroptosis, and protein levels of Wnt signalling pathway of LPS-treated HGFs. Circ_0036490 and DKK1 competitively bind miR-29a to promote LPS-induced HGF injury in vitro. Wnt pathway inactivated by LPS was activated by miR-29a. Thence, miR-29a may be a promising target for periodontitis.

Abstract
Chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA) was first reported and named by Chinese scholars in 2013. It is a new clinical type of asthma characterized by chest tightness as the only or primary symptom, without typical asthma manifestations such as recurrent wheezing and shortness of breath, and without wheezing sounds heard during lung auscultation. The overall epidemiological data on CTVA is currently unavailable. Its pathogenesis is similar to that of typical asthma, involving eosinophilic airway inflammation. Due to the lack of typical clinical manifestations, insufficient knowledge of this disease in some clinicians and some other reasons, CTVA is susceptible to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Currently, the diagnostic criteria for CTVA are: chest tightness as the only or primary symptom, without typical asthma symptoms and signs such as wheezing and shortness of breath, and with any one of the objective indicators of variable airflow limitation. Effective anti-asthma treatment is required, and other diseases that cause chest tightness, such as cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, muscular, and mental diseases should be excluded. CTVA treatment follows that of typical asthma, but the specific treatment duration is uncertain and may require long-term management. Traditional Chinese medicine has shown some therapeutic effects on CTVA. Most CTVA patients have a good prognosis after active anti-asthma treatment. This paper analyzes and summarizes the research of CTVA in China from 2013 and provides new perspectives for further exploration of CTVA.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the awareness, diagnosis and treatment of chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA) among pediatricians in China. Methods: The survey was conducted by convenient sampling method. Pediatricians with professional title of attending physician and above from different grades hospitals in 30 provinces were invited to conduct online questionnaire surveys through WeChat, pediatricians scan QR codes to complete electronic questionnaires in the mini program from January 16th to February 4th, 2021. The contents of questionnaire included the awareness, diagnosis and treatment of CTVA, and comparing the differences between pediatricians in secondary hospitals and tertiary hospitals. Results: A total of 1 529 pediatricians participated in the survey, and 1 484 (97.06%) pediatricians completed the questionnaire and included in the analysis, including 420 males (28.30%). The awareness rate of CTVA among pediatricians was 77.83 % (1 155/1 484). Pediatricians in tertiary hospitals had higher rates of awareness of CTVA than pediatricians in secondary hospitals [81.86% (898/1 097) vs 66.41% (257/387), P<0.001] and had better execution of the guidelines [89.15% (978/1 097) vs 79.59% (308/387), P<0.001]. A total of 93.06 % (1 381/1 484) of pediatricians' first-line treatment included inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for CTVA. Among them, a higher proportion of pediatricians in tertiary hospitals used ICS included regimens for first-line treatment of CTVA compared with pediatricians in secondary hospitals [94.90% (1 041/1 097) vs 87.86% (340/387), P<0.001]. The reported well control rate of CTVA was 32.08% (476/1 484), which was significantly lower in secondary hospitals than that in tertiary hospitals [17.31% (67/387) vs 37.28% (409/1 097), P<0.001]. Conclusion: Most pediatricians are well aware of CTVA, among which there is a certain gap in clinical practice between pediatricians in secondary hospitals and tertiary hospitals in terms of understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of CTVA.

Abstract
In the present work, the Doppler Shift Attenuation method (DSAM) was used to analyze the observed lineshapes of transitions from excited states in 45Sc, populated in the reaction 36Ar + 12C at a beam energy of 145 MeV. The interpretation and comparison of the experimental results have been performed with large-scale shell model calculations, involving different interactions like: GX1A, GX1J, FPD6, KB3 and ZBM2. KB3 and FPD6 (present work) interactions in the negative parity states, and in positive parity states ZBM2 are most pre-eminent in reproducing the results, due to the large configuration space describing strong collective effects. Furthermore, the present work also looks at the details of the shell model helping in improving the understanding for the occupancy of orbitals. The present investigation suggests the observation of stronger collectivity for positive parity states over negative parity states with predicted enhanced collectivity of states in 45Sc nucleus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prognostic value of preimplantation nutritional status is not yet known for older diabetic patients that received right ventricular pacing (RVP). The study aimed to investigate the clinical value of the four malnutrition screening tools for the prediction of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) in older diabetic patients that received RVP. DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS This study was conducted between January 2017 and January 2018 at the Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China, and included older (age ≥ 65 years) diabetic patients that received RVP for the first time Measurements: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Naples Prognostic Score (NPS), and the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score were used to estimate the preimplantation nutritional status of the patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between preimplantation malnutrition and HFH. RESULTS Overall, 231 older diabetic patients receiving RVP were included. The median follow-up period after RVP was 53 months. HFH was reported for 19.9% of the included patients. Our results showed preimplantation malnutrition for 18.2%, 15.2%, 86.6% and 66.2% of the included patients based on the PNI, GNRI, NPS, and CONUT score, respectively. The cumulative rate of HFH during follow-up period was significantly higher for patients in the preimplantation malnutrition group based on the PNI (log-rank = 13.0, P = 0.001), GNRI (log-rank = 8.5, P = 0.01), and NPS (log-rank = 15.7, P < 0.001) compared to the normal nutrition group, but was not statistically significant for those in the preimplantation malnutrition group based on the CONUT score (log-rank = 2.7, P = 0.3). As continuous variables, all the nutritional indices showed significant correlation with HFH (all P < 0.05). However, multivariate analysis showed that only GNRI was independently associated with HFH (HR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.937-0.997, P = 0.032). As categorical variables, PNI, GNRI, and NPS showed significant correlation with HFH. After adjustment of confounding factors, moderate-to-severe degree of malnutrition was an independent predictor of HFH based on the PNI (HR = 4.66, 95% CI: 1.03-21.00, P = 0.045) and GNRI (HR = 3.02, 95% CI: 1.02-9.00, P = 0.047). CONCLUSION Preimplantation malnutrition was highly prevalent in older diabetic patients that received RVP. The malnutrition prediction tools, PNI and GNRI, showed significant prognostic value in accurately predicting HFH in older diabetic patients with RVP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study intended to evaluate the involvement of genetic factors in the etiology of non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth. DESIGN We filtered the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the proband and his mother with similar phenotypes through whole-genome sequencing (WGS). By integrating multiple databases related to human genome mutations and disease information for mutation annotation, we excluded the SNPs of people without supernumerary teeth. Subsequently, the bioinformatics analysis tools (Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant (SIFT) < 0.05, Polymorphism Phenotyping (PolyPhen) > 0.90) were used to screen out the most correlated SNPs of the disease, besides, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis (P<0.05, FDR<0.05) and Sanger sequencing was applied to further verify the candidate pathogenic mutation point. RESULTS A novel heterozygous variant in fer-1 like family member 6 (FER1L6) gene likely denoted pathogenicity in non-syndromic familial multiple supernumerary teeth. We identified a cohort of 3499 non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs), and only 142 nsSNPs with the score of SIFT < 0.05 and PolyPhen > 0.90 were retained. Then we got 54 nsSNPs from 31 candidate genes through GO analysis. Sanger sequencing revealed a missense variant in exon 31 of the FER1L6 gene, causing a transition from guanine to adenine in position 1447 of protein kinase C conserved region 2. CONCLUSIONS We identified a novel heterozygous chromosome 8q24.13 mutation of FER1L6, which was a new mutation site identified in non-syndromic familial multiple supernumerary teeth through genetic analysis of a Chinese family.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of left bundle branch pacing(LBBP) in patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 35 patients underwent TAVI and received pacemaker implantation from January 2018 to December 2020 in Beijing Fuwai Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into LBBP group (n=12) and right ventricular apex pacing (RVAP) group (n=23) according to the pacing position. The success rate of operation in LBBP group was calculated, and the occurrence of complications were observed, and the parameters of pacemaker were measured on the 3rd day and 1, 3 and 6 months after operation. The N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), echocardiographic and ECG indexes were compared between the two groups on the 3rd day and 1, 3, and 6 months after pacemaker implantation. Result: A total of 35 patients were included, The age was (76.4±7.7) years, including 19 males (54.3%). The procedure time ((86.58±17.10)min vs. (68.74±9.18)min, P<0.001) and fluoroscopy duration ((20.08±4.44)min vs. (17.00±2.26)min, P<0.001) were significantly longer in LBBP group compared with RVAP group. The operation success rate of LBBP group was 11/12. There was no serious operation related complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, electrode dislocation, infection, and lower limb bleeding. The patients were followed up for 7.43 (5.21, 9.84) months. The programmed parameters of pacemaker were in the ideal range and stable during follow-up. At 3 and 6 months after operation, the left ventricular ejection fraction in LBBP group was higher than that in RVAP Group (at 3 months: (60.75±2.89)% vs. (57.35±3.33)%, P=0.004; at 6 months: (63.17±3.33)% vs. (56.17±3.97)%, P<0.001), NT-proBNP values was lower in LBBP group than that in RVAP Group (at 3 months: 822 (607, 1 150)ng/L vs. 1 052 (902, 1 536)ng/L, P=0.006; at 6 months: 440 (330,679)ng/L vs. 783 (588, 1 023)ng/L, P=0.001). At 1, 3 and 6 months after operation, the QRS duration was shorter in LBBP group than that in RVAP group (1 month: 99 (97, 107)ms vs. 126(124, 130)ms, P<0.001; 3 months: 98(96, 105)ms vs. 129(128, 133)ms, P<0.001; 6 months: 96(94, 104)ms vs. 130(128, 132)ms, P<0.001). Conclusions: For patients with permanent pacemaker indications after TAVI, LBBP is feasible, safe and reliable. It could improve the cardiac function in the short term, the long-term effect of LBBP needs to be further observed.

Abstract
A new α-emitting isotope ^{214}U, produced by the fusion-evaporation reaction ^{182}W(^{36}Ar,4n)^{214}U, was identified by employing the gas-filled recoil separator SHANS and the recoil-α correlation technique. More precise α-decay properties of even-even nuclei ^{216,218}U were also measured in the reactions of ^{40}Ar, ^{40}Ca beams with ^{180,182,184}W targets. By combining the experimental data, improved α-decay reduced widths δ^{2} for the even-even Po-Pu nuclei in the vicinity of the magic neutron number N=126 are deduced. Their systematic trends are discussed in terms of the N_{p}N_{n} scheme in order to study the influence of proton-neutron interaction on α decay in this region of nuclei. It is strikingly found that the reduced widths of ^{214,216}U are significantly enhanced by a factor of two as compared with the N_{p}N_{n} systematics for the 84≤Z≤90 and N<126 even-even nuclei. The abnormal enhancement is interpreted by the strong monopole interaction between the valence protons and neutrons occupying the π1f_{7/2} and ν1f_{5/2} spin-orbit partner orbits, which is supported by the large-scale shell model calculation.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the value of intraoperative cerebral oxygen saturation in predicting postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND) in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: A total of 210 cases of lumbar decompression, bone grafting and fusion surgery under general anesthesia were collected in the Third Central Hospital of Tianjin from June, 2019 to January, 2020, either sex, aged 65-75 year, BMI 19.5-32.5 kg/m(2), ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, preoperative comorbidities with mild cognitive impairment. MoCA and MMSE were used to evaluate the cognitive function of patients 1 day before the operation, 7 days and 3 monthes after operation. PND group (n=38) and non-PND group (n=172) were selected according to postoperative MMSE and MoCA scale scores and the diagnostic criteria of PND. Heart rate (HR) , mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), bispectral index (BIS), cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO(2), average left and right brain SctO(2) were recorded) were recorded pre-anesthetic (T(0)), ten minutes of anesthesia(T(1)), twenty minutes of anesthesia (T(2)), thirty minutes into the operation (T(3)), one hour into the operation (T(4)), end of the surgery (T(5)), and leave the PACU (T(6)). SctO(2) at time point T(0) was the base value of SctO(2), and the maximum percentage drop in SctO(2) from the base value was calculated (SctO(2max)%). Results: The incidence of PND was 18% (38/210) in 210 elderly patients undergoing surgery. The age of PND group and non-PND group was (71.0±2.1) and (67.8±2.0) years old, and the PACU time was (57±5) and (46±8) min, respectively. Compared with the non-PND group, the age of the PND group was higher (t=2.600, P<0.05) and the PACU time was longer (t=3.039, P<0.05). At the time points T(3), T(4), T(5) and T(6), SctO(2) in the PND group was (62±10) %, (60±11) %, (64±12) % and (66±10)%, respectively, lower than that in the non-PND group (67±60) %, (68±6) %, (69±5) % and (70±7)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.369, 4.906, 3.787, 2.516, all P<0.05).The MoCA and MMSE scores of the PND group were (22.9±1.2) and (24.1±1.2) points, respectively, 1 day before surgery; and the MoCA and MMSE scores of the PND group were reduced to (20.8±1.2) and (21.3±0.7) points, respectively, 7 days after surgery, with statistically significant differences (t=3.523, 5.675, all P<0.05). MoCA and MMSE scores 7 days after surgery in the non-PND group were (22.4±1.3) and (23.1±1.6) points, respectively. Compared with the non-PND group, MoCA and MMSE scores 7 days after surgery in the PND group were reduced (t=2.630, 3.108, all P<0.05). The critical value of intraoperative SctO(2max)% was 13.74%, the area under the curve of PND was predicted to be 0.907 (95%CI: 0.819-0.995), sensitivity and specificity were 88.9% and 88.5%, respectively. Conclusion: SctO(2max)%>13.74% can be used as an indicator to predict PND occurrence in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment during lumbar surgery.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
His-bundle pacing (HBP) is recognized as the most physiological way of pacing but with less study focused on electrical characteristics in different site.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate the differences of pacing and echocardiographic parameters between atrial and ventricular side His-bundle pacing.
Methods
Patients who successfully underwent HBP implantation from September 2018 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were assigned to atrial-side HBP (aHBP) group or ventricular-side HBP (vHBP) group according to the location of the His-bundle pacing lead, which was confirmed by two methods including postoperative echocardiography and visualization of tricuspid valve annulus (TVA). The pacing and echocardiographic parameters were compared between two groups during the procedure and at 3-month follow-up.
Results
A total of 71 bradycardia patients who successfully underwent HBP implantation and confirmed lead position were included. Among them, twenty-seven were assigned to aHBP group and the other 44 were assigned to vHBP group with no significant differences in baseline clinical characteristics between two groups. During the procedure, the proportion of selective HBP was significantly higher (77.8% vs. 11.4%; P<0.01) and the intra-procedural HV intervals was significantly longer (50.85±6.53 ms vs. 42.95±6.02 ms, P<0.01) in aHBP group than in vHBP group. The capture threshold in vHBP group was significantly lower than in aHBP group at implantation (0.92±0.22 V/1.0ms vs. 1.05±0.26 V/1.0ms, P=0.03) and remain significantly difference after 3-month follow-up (0.98±0.23 V/1.0ms vs. 1.15±0.44 V/1.0ms, P=0.03). The R-wave amplitude was significantly higher in vHBP group than in aHBP group at implantation (5.82±2.52 mV vs. 3.74±1.81 mV, P<0.01), and these differences still persisted during follow-up (5.88±2.51 mV vs. 3.67±1.61 mV, P<0.01). During 3-month follow-up, an increase in the capture threshold >1 V/1.0ms was seen in 2 cases in aHBP group while all patients remained stable in vHBP group. One patient developed a pocket hematoma in aHBP group compared to none in vHBP group. None of deterioration of tricuspid regurgitation and other procedure-related complications were observed during 3-month follow-up.
Conclusions
Ventricular side His-bundle pacing can achieve favourable pacing parameters including a lower pacing threshold and a higher R-wave amplitude than atrial side His-bundle pacing, which may be an ideal pacing strategy for patients in need of ventricular pacing.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prediction of death is the philosopher's stone of arrhythmology. The electrophysiology has proven to be an important tool to predict the risk of death. Periodic repolarization dynamics (PRD) is a novel electrocardiographic marker that indicates the sympathetic effect on repolarization. PRD qualifies the low-frequency oscillations of cardiac repolarization instability using high-resolution 12 channel 24-h Holter recording. Several studies showed that PRD was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality. However, the prediction value of PRD has not been established.
Purpose
To evaluate the prediction value of PRD as an approach of risk stratification that selects patients at a higher risk of death.
Methods
We conducted electronic searches of MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Science Citation Index Expanded, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry platform (ICTRP) and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to January 9th, 2020. We also screened for relevant abstracts from conferences including ACC Annual Scientific Sessions, ESC Congress and Annual Congress of the EHRA for the last five years (2014–2019). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality and secondary outcome was cardiac mortality. We included study with large sample size while more than one study were found based on the same originated population. We extracted data from included studies and reported pooled outcomes as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidential intervals (CI) for time-to-event outcomes using DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. We did statistical analyses using Stata version 12.0 and R version 3.6.1.
Results
5 studies including 6758 patients met all selection criteria for our meta-analysis. Follow-up period ranged from 20.4 to 75.1 months. Among 5 studies, 3 studies considered PRD as dichotomous variable and the cut-off value was 5.75 deg2, while 2 studies considered PRD as continuous variable and coefficient was expressed in standardized units (increase per standard deviation). We did subgroup analysis according to the type of variable because of heterogeneity. There was a significant higher risk of all-cause mortality in PRD ≥5.75 deg2 patients compared with PRD <5.75 deg2 patients (HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.77–3.17). As for continuous variable, increased PRD was a predictor for all-cause death (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.14–1.42) (Figure). The cardiac mortality was significantly increased in patients with PRD ≥5.75 deg2 vs PRD <5.75 deg2 (HR 3.06, 95% CI 1.66–5.65). Increased PRD was associated with cardiac mortality in continuous variable subgroup (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.21–1.48) (Figure).
Conclusion
Our findings suggest PRD is a significant predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality. PRD provides new additional electrophysiological indicator for risk stratification until further investigations are available.

Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF), one of the most common comorbidities with heart failure (HF), is associated with worse prognosis in HF patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, there is still no convenient tool to evaluate and identify patients with high risk of mortality and hospitalization due to heart failure in CRT candidates with AF.

We included 152 consecutive patients with AF for CRT in our hospital from January 2009 to July 2019. Multivariate Cox regression was applied to derive a nomogram, using multiple imputation for missing values and backward stepwise regression for variable selection.
Results
Five predictors were incorporated in the nomogram, including N-terminal pro brain natriuretic protein (NTproBNP) >1745pg/mL, history of syncope, previous pulmonary hypertension (PHP), moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) >4mIU/L. Concordance index (0.70, 95% CI 0.62–0.77), corrected concordance index (0.67, 95% CI 0.59–0.74) and calibration curve showed optimal discrimination and calibration of the established nomogram. Significant difference of overall event-free survival was recognized by the nomogram-derived scores in patients with high risk (>50 points), intermediate risk (21–50 points) and low risk (0–20 points) before CRT.
Conclusion
Our nomogram may be an applicable tool for early risk stratification among CRT candidates with AF.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to explore the diagnostic value of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) compared with conventional colonoscopy in individuals at high risk for colorectal cancer. METHOD PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and the Web of Science were searched by two independent reviewers for potentially eligible studies published up to 31 October 2018 that were based on a per-patient analysis. stata, meta-disc and revman were used to perform this meta-analysis. A random-effect model was used, and a subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 14 full-text articles, involving 3578 patients, were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve of CTC for detecting polyps ≥ 6 mm were 0.87 (95% CI 0.83-0.90), 0.90 (95% CI 0.86-0.93), 9.08 (95% CI 6.28-13.13), 0.14 (95% CI 0.11-0.18) and 0.94 (95% CI 0.92-0.96), respectively. For polyps ≥ 10 mm, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio of CTC were 0.91 (95% CI 0.86-0.94), 0.98 (95% CI 0.95-0.99), 40.36 (95% CI 19.16-85.03), 0.90 (95% CI 0.06-0.14) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.96-0.99), respectively. CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis, CTC had high diagnostic accuracy for detecting polyps ≥ 6 mm and ≥ 10 mm in patients at high risk of developing colorectal cancer and it had a higher sensitivity and specificity for detecting polyps ≥ 10 mm than polyps ≥ 6 mm. However, the results should be used cautiously due to the significant heterogeneity.

Abstract
A new, very short-lived neutron-deficient isotope ^{222}Np was produced in the complete-fusion reaction ^{187}Re(^{40}Ar,5n)^{222}Np, and observed at the gas-filled recoil separator SHANS. The new isotope ^{222}Np was identified by employing a recoil-α correlation measurement, and six α-decay chains were established for it. The decay properties of ^{222}Np with E_{α}=10016(33) keV and T_{1/2}=380_{-110}^{+260} ns were determined experimentally. The α-decay systematics of Np isotopes is improved by adding the new data for ^{222}Np, which validates the N=126 shell effect in Np isotopes. The evolution of the N=126 shell closure is discussed in the neutron-deficient nuclei up to Np within the framework of α-decay reduced width.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that microRNA-95-3p (miR-95-3p) plays a crucial role in multiple human cancers except for prostatic cancer (PCa). Therefore, the function of miR-95-3p was investigated in PCa in the present work. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of miR-95-3p was measured by Real Time-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. Western blot assay was used to examine the protein expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. In addition, the function of miR-95-3p was detected through MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) and transwell assays. Dual Luciferase assay was applied to confirm the relationship between miR-95-3p and dickkopf-3 (DKK3). The tumor growth was observed through xenograft tumor formation assay. RESULTS The upregulation of miR-95-3p was detected in PCa tissues and cell lines, which predicted poor prognosis of PCa patients. Moreover, miR-95-3p promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion in PCa by targeting DKK3 and activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. MiR-95-3p also promoted the tumor growth of PCa in vivo. Besides that, downregulation of DKK3 was identified in PCa and low DKK3 expression predicted poor prognosis of PCa patients. CONCLUSIONS MiR-95-3p promoted the development of PCa via targeting DKK3 and activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Feeder cells can promote cell proliferation and help overcome the developmental arrest of early embryos by producing growth factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeder cells on the development of all single porcine parthenogenetic embryos in vitro. Firstly, we showed that the cleavage and blastocyst formation rate of all single procine parthenogenetic embryos co-cultured with feeder cells increased in contrast to those cultured without feeder cells (p⟨0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the blastocyst formation rate in the embryos co-cultured with 3 different kinds feeder cells namely oviduct epithelial feeder cells, granulose feeder cells and porcine fetal fibroblast feeder cells (p>0.05). Secondly, highly significant differences were observed between the cleavage and blastocyst formation rate (p⟨0.05) when the embryos were co-cultured with oviduct epithelial feeder cells in different volume drops ranging from 3 to 20 μL and the cleavage rate were the highest when cultured in 5 μL drops. Thirdly, the tempospacial pattern of the development of single embryos co-cultured with oviduct epithelial feeder cells was consistent with that of traditional multi-embryo culture, indicating that the co-culturing does not affect the developmental competence of the porcine parthenogenetic embryos. Finally, highly significant differences were observed between the cleavage and blastocyst formation rate with and without zona pellucida in vitro (p⟨0.05). In this study, a new adaption of in vitro co-culture of single porcine parthenogenetic embryos using feeder cells has been successfully established and this will facilitate further investigations to discover the mechanistic mode of developmental arrest of porcine embryos.

Abstract
Bone metabolism is a lifelong process that includes bone formation and resorption. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the predominant cell types associated with bone metabolism, which is facilitated by other cells such as bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), osteocytes and chondrocytes. As an important component in our daily diet, fatty acids are mainly categorized as long‐chain fatty acids including polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (LCMUFAs), saturated fatty acids (LCSFAs), medium‐/short‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs/SCFAs) as well as their metabolites. Fatty acids are closely associated with bone metabolism and associated bone disorders. In this review, we summarized the important roles and potential therapeutic implications of fatty acids in multiple bone disorders, reviewed the diverse range of critical effects displayed by fatty acids on bone metabolism, and elucidated their modulatory roles and mechanisms on specific bone cell types. The evidence supporting close implications of fatty acids in bone metabolism and disorders suggests fatty acids as potential therapeutic and nutritional agents for the treatment and prevention of metabolic bone diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
To derive and validate a prediction score for clinical prognosis in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
Methods
A cohort of 422 consecutive NICM patients with CRT were retrospectively enrolled from January 2010 to December 2017, randomly categorized into the derivation group (n=338) and the validation group (n=84). Primary endpoint defined as all-cause death and heart transplantation. A new score was established based on the β coefficients of each risk factor.
Results
High sensitive C-response protein [hazard ratio (HR):1.081, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.029–1.134 P=0.002], left atrial diameter (HR: 1.056, 95% CI: 1.020–1.093, P=0.002), non-LBBB (HR: 1.793, 95% CI: 1.131–2.844, P=0.013), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide per 100 pg/ml (HR: 1.018, 95% CI: 1.007–1.030, P=0.002), were independent predictors for primary endpoint. A new prediction score, HALP score, showed significant difference of primary endpoint among different risk groups (log-rank test, all P<0.01) by Kaplan-Meier curve; Compared with three prior models, HALP scores had adequate discrimination [AUC: 0.738 (95% CI: 0.680–0.794)] and good calibration for all caused death and heart transplantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), lacks adequate evaluation for AVB.
Purpose
We aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and acute clinical outcomes of permanent LBBAP in patients with AVB.
Methods
We retrospectively recruited AVB patients with indication for ventricular pacing who had underwent LBBAP from May to Sep. 2018. ECG characteristics, pacing parameters, echocardiographic parameters and adverse events were evaluated during follow-up. Successful LBBAP was defined as the paced QRS morphology of RBBB pattern and QRSd less than 130ms.
Results
A total of 33 patients were involved in this study (mean age: 55.1±18.5 years; 66.7% male, 48.4% with bundle branch block,BBB). LBBAP was successfully performed in 90.9% (30/33) of all patients. The mean capture threshold of LBBAP was 0.76±0.26 V/0.4 ms during the procedure and 0.64±0.20 V/0.4ms at 3-month follow-up. The paced QRSd was 112.8±10.9 ms during the procedure and 116.8±10.4ms at 3-month follow-up. Baseline left or right BBB was corrected by LBBAP (153.3±27.8 ms vs. 122.2±9.9 ms) with a success rate of 68.7% (11/16). One ventricular septal lead perforation occurred soon after the procedure and LBBAP was successfully repeated by lead revision. Cardiac function and left ventricular synchronization at three-month follow-up presented slightly improvement as compared with baseline.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the relationship between serum albumin level and clinical outcome in heart failure (HF) patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 357 consecutive chronic heart failure patients receiving CRT between January 2010 and December 2015 were enrolled and divided into two groups based on pre-CRT serum albumin (albumin≥40 g/L, n=244; albumin<40 g/L, n=113). Clinical outcomes were defined as all-cause mortality (including heart transplantation) and rehospitalization due to worsening HF.Baseline characteristics were compared and all-cause mortality (including heart transplantation) and rehospitalization due to worsening heart failure (HF) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves.Prognostic value of albumin level was evaluated in Cox proportional-hazards regression models. Results: Over a median follow-up time of 21 months, 45 patients (12.6%) died, 4 patients (1.1%) underwent heart transplantation and 100 patients (28.0%) were rehospitalized due to worsening HF. HF patients with pre-CRT albumin<40 g/L were related with worse NYHA function class, lower HDL-C level and ACEI/ARB use compared to HF patients with pre-CRT albumin≥40 g/L. Kaplan-Meier analyses evidenced lower survival rate in HF patients (log-rank test: P=0.000 4, χ(2)=12.60) and higher rehospitalization rate due to worsening HF (log-rank test: P=0.009, χ(2)=6.82) in HF patients with pre-CRT albumin<40 g/L.Multivariate Cox analyses indicated that serum pre-CRT albumin <40 g/L was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (HR=2.019, 95%CI 1.125-3.622, P=0.018) and HF rehospitalization (HR=1.517, 95%CI 1.014-2.270, P=0.043). Conclusion: Pre-CRT serum albumin level is associated with the severity of heart failure in CRT recipients.Patients with lower pre-CRT albumin level face increased risk of all-cause mortality and HF rehospitalization in chronic heart failure patients receiving cardiac resynchronization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The detectors from Courage & Khazaka and DermaLab® from Cortex Technology were two series of the most commonly used non-invasive instruments for the skin physiological properties measurements. The aim of this study is to reveal the differences and correlations in measuring skin color, hydration, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), sebum and elasticity on the forearm or faces between two commercially available series of instruments. METHODS 30 subjects were enrolled to be measured by the two series of instruments. The measurements by each series were performed on the left/right side of the body randomly. The hydration, sebum, elasticity and TEWL measurements were performed on different sites. RESULTS Positive correlations were found in the values of skin color, hydration, TEWL, sebum and visco-elasticity detected by the two series. The values related to skin firmness measured by the two instruments were statistically negative correlated. Contrary to the results in measuring the skin color, the detectors from Courage & Khazaka presented lower values of variation in measuring skin hydration and TEWL than those from DermaLab® . CONCLUSION The two series have significant correlations.The differences of the two series can be due either to differences in the design of the probe or left/right part of the body.

Abstract
SHP2 participates in multiple signaling events by mediating T-cell development and function, and regulates cytokine-dependent granulopoiesis. To explore whether and how SHP2 can regulate bone-marrow eosinophil differentiation, we investigate the contribution of SHP2 in the bone-marrow eosinophil development in allergic mice. Blockade of SHP2 function by SHP2 inhibitor PHPS-1 or conditional shp2 knockdown by adenovirus-inhibited bone-marrow-derived eosinophil differentiation in vitro, with no detectable effects on the apoptosis of eosinophils. Furthermore, SHP2 induced eosinophil differentiation via regulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway. Myeloid shp2 conditional knockout mice (LysMcreshp2flox/flox) failed to induce eosinophilia as well as airway hyper-responsiveness. The SHP2 inhibitor PHPS-1 also alleviated eosinophilic airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness, accompanied by significantly reduced levels of systemic eosinophils and eosinophil lineage-committed progenitors in allergic mice. We demonstrate that inhibition of eosinophil development is SHP2-dependent and SHP2 is sufficient to promote eosinophil formation in vivo. Our data reveal SHP2 as a critical regulator of eosinophil differentiation, and inhibition of SHP2 specifically in myeloid cells alleviates allergic airway inflammation.

Abstract
Triflusal presents comparable antiplatelet activity to aspirin while presenting a more favourable safety profile, and is used in the treatment of thrombosis. The study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of triflusal and its major metabolite 2-(hydroxyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)- benzoic acid (HTB) in healthy Chinese subjects.30 healthy subjects were recruited in this randomized, single-center, and open-label, parallel, single ascending doses (300, 600, 900 mg) and multiple doses (600 mg, once daily for 7 days) study. Plasma samples were analyzed with a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. Safety was assessed by adverse events, ECG, laboratory testing, and vital signs.Triflusal was safe and well tolerated. After single-dose administration, triflusal was rapidly absorbed with a mean Tmax of 0.55-0.92 h and a mean t1/2 kel of 0.35-0.65 h, HTB was absorbed with a mean Tmax of 2.35-3.03 h and a mean t1/2 kel of 52.5-65.57 h. Cmax and AUC for triflusal and HTB were approximately dose proportional over the 300-900 mg dose range. In the steady state, the accumulation index (R) indicated that the exposure of triflusal increased slightly with repeated dosing, and the exposure of HTB increased obviously. 3 adverse events certainly related to the investigational drugs occurred in the multiple-dose phase.Following oral dosing under fasting condition, triflusal is promptly absorbed and rapidly depleted from the systemic circulation. HTB is quickly generated from triflusal and slowly eliminated. Triflusal accumulates slightly in the body. HTB plasma concentration builds up progressively toward steady-state.

Abstract
Hypomethylation of the O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter in glioma cells has been associated with temozolomide resistance. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is produced during folate metabolism, is the main source of methyl groups during DNA methylation. As a key enzyme during folate metabolism, polymorphisms of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) may regulate folate end-products. We investigated the effect of typical polymorphisms of MTHFR (C677T and A1298C) on MGMT methylation based on different serum folate levels in patients with glioma from Northeast China. A total of 275 patients with glioma and 329 without malignant tumors were tested. Serum folate concentration was assayed by using the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. MTHFR polymorphisms were detected by Taqman-Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methylation-specific PCR was used to assess MGMT methylation. The constituent ratio of glioma patients below the serum folate biological reference value was significantly higher than that of the control population (P < 0.001). In patients with oligodendroglioma and glioblastoma, heterozygotes for the A1298C mutation were found in higher frequency than homozygotes or wild types (oligodendroglioma, P < 0.001; glioblastoma, P < 0.01). When grouped by the median or biological reference value of serum folate, only homozygotes for C677T with low levels of folate were significantly associated with decreased methylation of MGMT (median, P < 0.001; biological reference value, P = 0.036). These data suggest that, in combination with a negative folate balance in glioma patients, T/T genotypes in MTHFR C677T may be associated with MGMT demethylation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Landiolol is an ultra-short-acting β-blocker that appears to be more cardioselective and less toxic than esmolol. The main objective of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of landiolol hydrochloride in healthy Chinese volunteers. METHODS We set 2-dose regimen (L and H groups) [L (low): 0.125 mg/kg/min (1 min) loading→0.02 mg/kg/min (20 min) continuous, H (high): 0.25 mg/kg/min (1 min) loading→0.04 mg/kg/min (20 min) continuous]. 20 healthy subjects of either sex were allocated randomly to the L and H groups (n=10, and 10). Blood samples were collected over 1 h after continuous infusion and were determined using a validated liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) assay. The safety of landiolol hydrochloride was assessed by adverse events recording, 12-lead ECG findings, physical examination, laboratory testing, and vital signs. RESULTS The main pharmacokinetic parameters of landiolol hydrochloride in healthy Chinese subjects were as follows: doses of 2 groups (L and H); Cmax of 400±110 and 731±246 ng/mL; C21min of 327±109 and 508±141 ng/mL; Tmax of 10.1±6.5 and 6.2±5.7 min; t1/2 of 4.7±1.6 and 6.5±1.7 min. Landiolol hydrochloride was safe. There were no adverse events in any subject. The heart rates and blood pressures of subjects administered landiolol hydrochloride decreased, but no clinically significant changes were observed. CONCLUSION The concentration of landiolol hydrochloride rapidly reached steady state levels, and rapidly dissipated after completion of administration. Landiolol hydrochloride appears to have rapid onset and short action.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination induces vigorous T-helper type 1 (Th1) responses and inhibits allergy-related airway dysfunction, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear. The objective of this study was to address where the Th1 cells induced by neonatal BCG vaccination are generated and stored, and how they are recruited into the inflamed airway for the prevention of allergen-induced airway inflammation. METHODS We vaccinated neonatal C57BL/6 mice with BCG in a mouse model of asthma and analyzed the expression and function of Th1 cells in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS BCG vaccination-induced Th1 cells in the local inguinal lymph nodes (ILN) migrated into the lungs upon inhaled ovalbumin (OVA) challenge in OVA-sensitized mice. These CD4(+) T cells in the ILN exhibited potentials of activation, proliferation and cytokine secretion and expressed high levels of CXCR3. Adoptive transfer of CD4(+) T cells from BCG-treated ILN significantly decreased allergic airway responses. In addition, the protective effect of BCG vaccination against allergic airway inflammation was lost upon the excision of the ILN. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that ILN serves as a 'weapon' pool of Th1 cells following BCG vaccination, and these cells are ready for the migration into the inflamed lungs upon the allergen challenge, thereby inhibiting allergen-induced airway disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study measured the serum concentrations of resistin and adiponectin in Chinese subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and investigated their association with insulin resistance, metabolic parameters and circulating inflammatory markers. METHODS A total of 124 subjects participated in the study (44 with IGT and 80 with normal glucose tolerance [NGT]). Fasting serum concentrations of lipids, glucose, insulin and adipocytokines (resistin, adiponectin, leptin, tumour necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein) were measured. RESULTS Serum resistin concentrations were similar in the IGT and NGT groups but were significantly higher in overweight/ obese IGT subjects than in those of normal weight. Serum adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower in the IGT group than in the NGT group. In the IGT group, resistin was positively correlated with age, body mass index and TNF-α, and adiponectin was correlated positively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and negatively with TNF-α and waist/hip ratio. CONCLUSIONS Circulating resistin is unlikely to be a major mediator of glucose tolerance in humans but it may have an inflammatory role in IGT. The data support the theory that circulating adiponectin has an anti-inflammatory and anti-insulin resistance function.

Abstract
The study used network analysis to identify forms and sources of social support associated with a medical services use among a medically underserved population living with HIV/AIDS. Participants were African American former or current injection drug users (n=295; 34% female, 45% current drug users and 17% AIDS diagnosed). Outcomes were access to the same medical provider, use of outpatient services and emergency room (ER) use with or without subsequent hospitalization. Controlling for AIDS diagnosis, insurance, current drug use and gender, access to the same medical care provider was associated with more females in one's support network and more network sources of emotional support, financial support and instrumental assistance. Adjusting for confounders, outpatient service use was associated with more female support network members and more sources of emotional support. Controlling for participants' drug use and insurance, sub-optimal emergency department use was associated with greater number of active drug users in one's support network. Contrary to other study findings, having a supportive sex partner was associated with lower access to medical care, and kin support was not associated with medical service use. Results indicate that specific sources and forms of social support had differential influences on the sample's utilization of medical services. The findings suggest that promoting HIV-positive African American injection drug users' support network functioning may help improve HIV medical services utilization among this medically underserved population.

Abstract
The physics of the heat conduction and viscous dissipation in rarefied gases is analyzed and discussed. A heat transfer model valid for arbitrary Knudsen numbers, defined as the ratio of the molecular mean free path to the characteristic length of channels, is derived by treating the heat transfer behavior in the slip and transition regimes as an intermediate function of continuum heat transfer model and free molecular heat transfer model. Comparison studies reveal that this model not only shows good agreement with the numerical results based on the direct simulation Monte Carlo method, but also has some unique features that can overcome the deficiencies existing in the previous models. Therefore, this model is capable to study the heat transport phenomena in very dilute gas Couette flows through micro/nanochannels more accurately.

Abstract
A set of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) studies focusing on the 2p64f(n)-->2p54f(n)5d1(2p54f(n+1)5d0)-->2p63d94f(n)5d1(2p63d94f(n+1)5d0) channel of dysprosium in Dy metal, Dy2O3, DyNi3 and Dy25Fe18 compounds have been carried out. Data showed with high statistics and resolution, the different delocalization degree of the 5d band of dysprosium in these compounds, e.g., decreasing from Dy metal to DyNi3, Dy25Fe18 and to dysprosium oxide, in agreement with the high-resolution XANES (HRXANES) spectra. Band structure calculations performed on Dy metal and Dy2O3 confirm both RIXS and HRXANES results in the increasing delocalization of the dysprosium 5d band in Dy metal with respect to Dy2O3. The 5d orbital occupancies of DyNi3 and Dy25Fe18 alloys have been also studied by comparison of the HRXANES white line (WL) area with the behavior of the final states energy position in RIXS spectra and we show that DyNi3 has a higher 5d orbital occupancy than Dy25Fe18.

Abstract
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory has performed a third science run with much improved sensitivities of all three interferometers. We present an analysis of approximately 200 hours of data acquired during this run, used to search for a stochastic background of gravitational radiation. We place upper bounds on the energy density stored as gravitational radiation for three different spectral power laws. For the flat spectrum, our limit of omega0 < 8.4 x 10(-4) in the 69-156 Hz band is approximately 10(5) times lower than the previous result in this frequency range.
