Abstract
Objective: To analyze the types and functions of CD34+ cells in full-thickness skin defect wounds of normal mice and diabetic mice by single-cell RNA sequencing. Methods: This study was an experimental study. The CD34+ cell lineage tracing mouse was produced, and the visualization of CD34+ cells under the fluorescent condition was realized. Six male CD34+ cell lineage tracing mice aged 7-8 weeks (designated as diabetic group) were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin to establish a diabetic model, and full-thickness skin defect wounds were prepared on their backs when they reached 13 weeks old. Another 6 male CD34+ cell lineage tracing mice aged 13 weeks (designated as control group) were also subjected to full-thickness skin defect wounds on their backs. On post-injury day (PID) 4, wound tissue was collected from 3 mice in control group and 2 mice in diabetic group, and digested to prepare single-cell suspensions. CD34+ cells were screened using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, followed by single-cell RNA sequencing. The Seurat 4.0.2 program in the R programming language was utilized for dimensionality reduction, visualization, and cell clustering analysis of CD34+ cell types, and to screen and annotate the marker genes for each CD34+ cell subpopulation. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was performed to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of CD34+ fibroblasts (Fbs), smooth muscle cells (SMCs), keratinocytes (KCs), and chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs) in the wound tissue of two groups of mice for exploring cellular functions. Results: On PID 4, CD34+ cells in the wound tissue of both groups of mice were consisted of 7 cell types, specifically endothelial cells, Fbs, KCs, macrophages, T cells, SMCs, and CLCs. Among these, Fbs were further classified into 5 subpopulations. Compared with those in control group, the proportions of CD34+ endothelial cells, Fbs subpopulation 1, Fbs subpopulation 4, KCs, and CLCs in the wound tissue of mice were increased in diabetic group, while the proportions of CD34+ Fbs subpopulation 2, Fbs subpopulation 3, and SMCs were decreased. The marker genes for annotating CD34+ CLCs, endothelial cells, Fbs subpopulation 1, Fbs subpopulation 2, Fbs subpopulation 3, Fbs subpopulation 4, Fbs subpopulation 5, KCs, macrophages, SMCs, and T cells were respectively metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1, fatty acid binding protein 4, Gremlin 1, complement component 4B, H19 imprinted maternally expressed transcript, Dickkopf Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor 2, fibromodulin, keratin 5, CD74 molecule, regulator of G protein signaling 5, and inducible T-cell co-stimulator molecule. KEGG and GO enrichment analysis revealed that, compared with those in control group, DEGs with significant differential expression (SDE) in CD34+ Fbs from the wound tissue of mice in diabetic group on PID 4 were significantly enriched in terms related to inflammatory response, extracellular matrix (ECM) organization, regulation of cell proliferation, and aging (with Pvalues all <0.05), DEGs with SDE in CD34+ SMCs were significantly enriched in terms related to cell migration, apoptotic process, positive regulation of transcription, and phagosome (with P values all <0.05), DEGs with SDE in CD34+ KCs were significantly enriched in terms related to mitochondrial function, transcription, and neurodegenerative diseases (with P values all <0.05), and DEGs with SDE in CD34+ CLCs were significantly enriched in terms related to rhythm regulation, ECM, and viral infection (with P values all <0.05). Conclusions: CD34+ cells display high heterogeneity in the healing process of full-thickness skin defect wounds in both normal mice and diabetic mice. The significantly enriched functions of DEGs with SDE in CD34+ cell subpopulations in the wound tissue of the two mouse groups are closely related to the wound healing process.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the potential of endogenous enzymes and probiotics in transforming bioactive metabolites to reduce the purgative effect and improve the functional activity of Cassiae Semen and verified and revealed the biotransformation effect of endogenous enzymes. Although probiotics, especially Lactobacillus rhamnosus, exerted the transformation effect, the endogenous enzymes proved to be more effective in transforming the components of Cassiae Semen. After biotransformation by endogenous enzymes for 12 h, the levels of six anthraquinones in Cassiae Semen increased by at least 2.98-fold, and free anthraquinones, total phenolics, and antioxidant activity also showed significant improvement, accompanied by an 82.2% reduction in combined anthraquinones responsible for the purgative effect of Cassiae Semen. Further metabolomic analysis revealed that the biotransformation effect of endogenous enzymes on the bioactive metabolites of Cassiae Semen was complex and diverse, and the biotransformation of quinones and flavonoids was particularly prominent and occurred by three primary mechanisms, hydrolyzation, methylation, and dimerization, might under the action of glycosyl hydrolases, SAM-dependent methyltransferases, and CYP450s. Accordingly, biotransformation by endogenous enzymes emerges as a mild, economical, food safety risk-free, and effective strategy to modify Cassiae Semen into an excellent functional food.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the long-term efficacy of balloon assisted endplate reduction with vertebral augmentation combined with pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures, and to compare the clinical efficacy of calcium sulfate cement (CSC) and calcium phosphate cement(CPC). Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study.The clinical data of 39 patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures admitted to Hefei Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from November 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were treated with pedicle screw reduction and fixation of the injured vertebra,balloon-assisted reduction of the collapsed endplate of the injured vertebra,and artificial bone vertebral body augmentation,and the follow-up time was >5 years.There were 24 males and 15 females,aged (42.9±13.3) years (range: 29 to 56 years).According to the Frankel spinal nerve dysfunction grading standard, there were 4 cases of grade C, 7 cases of grade D and 28 cases of grade E. There were 21 cases of CSC augmentation(CSC group) and 18 cases of CPC augmentation (CPC group). X-ray and CT were performed at 1 week, 1-, 2-, 5-year after surgery and at the last follow-up, and the imaging indicators were measured, including the injured vertebra anterior edge height ratio,the injured vertebra middle height ratio,the injured vertebra wedge angle,and the sagittal plane Cobb angle. The pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used for functional evaluation, nervous function was evaluated according to the Frankel spinal nerve dysfunction grading standard.Independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison, and paired sample t test and repeated measure ANOVA were used for intra-group comparison. Results: All operative procedures were successfully completed, no spinal nerve function damage occurred. The postoperative imaging indexes of the patients were significantly improved compared with those before surgery (all P<0.01). The follow-up time of patients was (6.7±2.8)years (range: 5 to 9 years). Among the 11 patients with symptoms of neurological impairment before surgery, 9 patients completely recovered at the last follow-up, and 2 patients recovered from Frankel grade C to D. There were no significant differences in imaging indexes between the first week after surgery and the last follow-up in the CPC group (all P>0.05), while there were significant differences in imaging indexes between the CSC group and the last follow-up (all P<0.05). CPC group was superior to CSC group in frontal height ratio, middle height ratio, wedge angle variation and sagittal Cobb angle correction loss at 2 year, 5 year after surgery and the last follow-up, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there were no differences in VAS and ODI between the two groups (all P>0.05). After absorption of CSC in the filling area, a hardened zone was formed around the area, and the central cavity remained without bone tissue filling. CPC absorption was very slow, and the CPC group was still filled satisfactorily at the last follow-up. Conclusions: Balloon assisted endplate reduction and vertebral augmentation combined with pedicle screw fixation through the injured vertebra have good long-term efficacy in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures. Compared with CSC, CPC vertebral augmentation can better maintain the shape and spinal sequence of the injured vertebra in the long term, and can effectively reduce the collapse of the space above the injured vertebra.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since both essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are movement disorders and share similar clinical symptoms, it is very difficult to recognize the differences in the presentation, course, and treatment of ET and PD, which leads to misdiagnosed commonly. PURPOSE Although neuroimaging biomarker of ET and PD has been investigated based on statistical analysis, it is unable to assist the clinical diagnosis of ET and PD and ensure the efficiency of these biomarkers. The aim of the study was to identify the neuroimaging biomarkers of ET and PD based on structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Moreover, the study also distinguished ET from PD via these biomarkers to validate their classification performance. METHODS This study has developed and implemented a three-level machine learning framework to identify and distinguish ET and PD. First of all, at the model-level assessment, the searchlight-based machine learning method has been used to identify the group differences of patients (ET/PD) with normal controls (NCs). And then, at the feature-level assessment, the stability of group differences has been tested based on structural brain atlas separately using the permutation test to identify the robust neuroimaging biomarkers. Furthermore, the identified biomarkers of ET and PD have been applied to classify ET from PD based on machine learning techniques. Finally, the identified biomarkers have been compared with the previous findings of the biology-level assessment. RESULTS According to the biomarkers identified by machine learning, this study has found widespread alterations of gray matter (GM) for ET and large overlap between ET and PD and achieved superior classification performance (PCA + SVM, accuracy = 100%). CONCLUSIONS This study has demonstrated the significance of a machine learning framework to identify and distinguish ET and PD. Future studies using a large data set are needed to confirm the potential clinical application of machine learning techniques to discern between PD and ET.

Abstract
Objective: BMI may play a protective role in reducing the mortality rate of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but its effect on acute exacerbation of COPD remain unclear. Methods: Subjects were selected from the COPD patients registration system established in 2014 in Pudong new district, Shanghai. COPD patients from 8 communities were selected by cluster sampling and follow up was conducted prospectively for 18 months. Basic information and BMI were obtained from baseline survey, and acute exacerbations were collected during follow-up. The association between BMI and risk of acute exacerbation was evaluated by using multiple negative binomial regression. Results: Among 328 community COPD patients, 295 who completed the follow up were included in the analysis, in whom 96.3% (284/295) were mild COPD patients. During the follow-up, 11.1% (33/295) of the patients reported acute exacerbation. The results of multiple negative binomial regression suggested that, the risk for acute exacerbation decreased with the increase of BMI (IRR=0.85, 95%CI:0.73-0.98), overweight patients with BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2 (IRR=0.36, 95%CI:0.13-0.91) or moderate BMI (T2 vs. T1, IRR=0.31, 95%CI:0.11-0.77) had lower risk for acute exacerbation compared with the patients with normal or low BMI. BMI had a linear correlation with the risk of acute exacerbation. Conclusion: The risk for acute exacerbation in patients with mild or moderate COPD in communities decreased with the increase of BMI, and being overweight might be a protective factor for the acute exacerbation of COPD.

Abstract
Current rat model of rotator cuff (RC) tear could not mimic the suture anchor (SA) repair technique in the clinical practice. We designed a novel SA for RC repair of rats to establish a clinically relevant animal model. Small suture anchors that fit the rat shoulder were assembled. 60 rats were assigned to the transosseous (TO) repair group or SA repair group (n = 30/group). Micro‐computed tomography (Micro‐CT) scanning, biomechanical test and histological analysis were implemented at 2, 4, and 8‐week post‐repair. The failure load and stiffness in the SA group were significantly higher than those of TO group at 4‐week post‐repair. Micro‐computed tomography analysis showed the bone mineral density and trabecular thickness of the SA group were significantly lower than those of TO group. The SA group showed a better insertion continuity at 4‐week post‐repair compared to TO group. No significant difference in gait parameters was found between groups. Therefore, SA repair is applicable for the rat model of RC tears. The SA repair achieved superior RC tendon healing, but more extensive initial bone damage compared to TO repair, while the shoulder function was comparable. This model could replicate the current repair technique in the clinical situation and be considered for future preclinical studies on healing enhancement for RC tears. Statement of Clinical Significance: With high clinical relevance, this model may facilitate the translation from an animal study into clinical trials.

Abstract
B cells secreting IL-10 functionally are recognized as functional regulatory B (Breg) cells; however, direct evidence concerning the phenotype, regulation, and functional and clinical relevance of IL-10-secreting Breg cells in humans is still lacking. Here, we demonstrate that, although IL-10 itself is anti-inflammatory, IL-10+ functional Breg cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) display aggressive inflammatory features; these features shift their functions away from inducing CD8+ T cell tolerance and cause them to induce a pathogenic CD4+ T cell response. Functional Breg cells polarized by environmental factors (e.g., CPG-DNA) or directly isolated from patients with SLE mainly exhibit a CD24intCD27-CD38-CD69+/hi phenotype that is different from that of their precursors. Mechanistically, MAPK/ERK/P38-elicited sequential oncogenic c-Myc upregulation and enhanced glycolysis are necessary for the generation and functional maintenance of functional Breg cells. Consistently, strategies that abrogate the activity of ERK, P38, c-Myc, and/or cell glycolysis can efficiently eliminate the pathogenic effects triggered by functional Breg cells.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignancy in Southern China and Southeast Asia. Radiotherapy is the main treatment option. However, radiotherapy does not benefit all patients because there is no known precise biomarker that can be used for screening radioresistant patients. Genetic predisposition is closely related to tumor development, therapeutic response, and prognosis. The relationship between regenerating gene IA (REGIA) and NPC is unclear. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the association between REGIA expression and metastasis, radiosensitivity, and survival in patients with NPC as well as assess the effect of radiation on REGIA expression in vitro. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect REGIA. The relationship between REGIA expression in radioresistant NPC and the prognosis of CNE1 NPC cells were analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. We found that increased doses of radiation in CNE1 cells significantly decreased REGIA expression (P<0.05). The overall rate of REGIA-positive expression was 47.15% in NPC tissues and 45.00% and 61.02% in radiosensitive and radioresistant cases, respectively, showing significant differences (P<0.05). A REGIA-positive protein expression rate had a negative correlation with radiosensitivity in NPC (r= -0.109, P=0.047). Both REGIA-positive and REGIA-negative expression strongly predicted the overall survival rate and progression-free survival of NPC patients (P<0.01). A multivariate analysis indicated that REGIA was an inverse prognostic factor in NPC patients (REGIA-positive expression: hazard ratio (HR)=2.139, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.56-2.94, P<0.001 and REGIA-negative expression: HR=1.958, 95% CI=1.42-2.69, P<0.001). In conclusion: Radiation can affect REGIA expression. The REGIA expression level correlated with radioresistance and a poor prognosis. In addition, REGIA expression might act as a potential therapeutic target and prognostic predictor in NPC patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of exosomes derived from human amniotic epithelial cells (hAEC-Exos) on the proliferation and migration of HaCaT in high glucose environment. Methods: The experimental research method was adopted. The amniotic membrane tissue was collected from 10 healthy pregnant women at full term delivery in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January to June 2019, and the primary human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) were isolated. The growth status and morphological changes of the primary hAECs on the 2nd, 4th, and 7th day of culture were observed, and the expressions of the cells surface markers of CD73, CD90, CD29, CD34, and human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR). The 2nd to 4th passages of hAECs were used in the following experiments. The hAEC-Exos were separated by ultracentrifugation method. The HaCaT and hAEC-Exos were co-cultured for 3 h, and the uptake of hAEC-Exos by HaCaT was observed by inverted fluorescence microscopy. The HaCaT were divided into phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group and hAEC-Exos group or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)+PBS group, DMSO+hAEC-Exos group, and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group, which were dealt correspondingly, with 3 wells in each group. Cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method was used to detect cell proliferation activity after 0 (immediately), 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h of culture. The scratch test was conducted to detect the scratch healing at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h after the scratch, and the scratch healing rate was calculated, respectively. The Transwell experiment was conducted to detect the number of transmembrane cells after 48 h of culture. The Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR), protein kinase B (Akt), and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) related to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt-mTOR (PI3K-Akt-mTOR) pathway after 24 h of culture. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance, and independent sample t test. Results: Most of the primary hAECs were oval and uniform in size on the 2nd day of culture. The hAECs were arranged in a typical cobblestone-like monolayer on the 4th and 7th day of culture. The primary hAECs highly expressed CD73, CD90, and CD29 of mesenchymal stem cell related surface markers, and were with no or low expressions of CD34 and HLA-DR of hematopoietic stem cell related surface markers. After 3 h of culture, hAEC-Exos were successfully endocytosed by HaCaT into the cytoplasm and gathered around the nucleus. After 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h of culture, the proliferation activity of HaCaT in hAEC-Exos group was significantly higher than that in PBS group (t=3.691, 10.861, 12.121, 10.531, 14.931, P<0.01). At 24, 48, and 72 h after scratch, the scratch healing rates of HaCaT in PBS group were significantly lower than those in hAEC-Exos group (t=3.342, 6.427, 5.485, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After 48 h of culture, the number of transmembrane HaCaT in hAEC-Exos group was significantly more than that in PBS group (t=5.385, P<0.01). After 24 h of culture, the protein expressions of p-mTOR and p-Akt in HaCaT of hAEC-Exos group were significantly higher than those in PBS group (t=4.240, 5.586, P<0.01), while the protein expressions of mTOR and Akt in HaCaT of the two groups were similar (P>0.05). After 24 h of culture, the protein expressions of p-mTOR and p-Akt in HaCaT of DMSO+hAEC-Exos group were significantly higher than those in DMSO+PBS group (t=6.155, 8.338, P<0.01) and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group (t=5.030, 3.960, P<0.01), while the protein expressions of mTOR and Akt in HaCaT of the three groups were similar (P>0.05). The proliferation activity of HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group at 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h of culture was 0.78±0.05, 1.23±0.07, 1.60±0.09, 1.86±0.09, and 2.03±0.08, which was significantly higher than 0.46±0.04, 0.69±0.07, 0.98±0.08, 1.16±0.08, and 1.26±0.11 in DMSO+PBS group (t=4.376, 7.398, 8.488, 9.766, 10.730, P<0.01). The proliferation activity of HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group at 24, 36, 48, and 60 h was significantly higher than 0.96±0.09, 1.20±0.08, 1.39±0.08, and 1.55±0.10 in LY294002+hAEC-Exos group (t=3.639, 5.447, 6.605, 6.693, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The scratch healing rates of HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group at 24, 48, and 72 h after scratch were significantly higher than those in DMSO+PBS group (t=4.003, 6.349, 7.714, P<0.01) and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group (t=3.805, 4.676, 4.067, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After 48 h of culture, the number of transmembrane HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group was significantly more than that in DMSO+PBS group and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group, respectively (t=7.464, 1.232, P<0.01). Conclusions: PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway can promote the proliferation and migration of HaCaT in high glucose environment by mediating hAEC-Exos.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate and compare the histologic characteristics of adenocarcinomas with mesonephric features located in different parts of the gynecologic tract. Methods: Two cases of mesonephric adenocarcinomas (MA) of the cervix and 5 cases of mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLA) of the uterus and ovary were collected in Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2018 to October 2020. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemistry and KRAS mutation testing were performed together with review of literature. Results: MA of the cervix as well as MLA of the uterus and ovary had similar morphologic features, showing an admixture of glandular, tubular, papillary and solid growth patterns. However, both MA cases were located in cervical stroma, which demonstrated residual mesonephric ducts present at the periphery. All four uterine MLA cases extensively involved the endometrium and myometrium. The ovarian MLA case was associated with endometriosis. No residual mesonephric ducts were present in the MLA cases. Immunohistochemically, GATA3 was positive in all seven MA/MLA cases. TTF1 was expressed only in 4/5 MLA cases. ER and PR were negative and p53 was wild-type in all cases. KRAS mutation was detected in all five cases. During the 6-32 months of follow-up, one patient developed recurrence and the others were tumor-free. Conclusions: In the gynecologic tract, both MA in cervix and MLA in uterus and ovary have similar morphologic features, immunohistochemical expression and KRAS mutation. However, distinct from MA that originates from mesonephric remnant, MLA is closely related to Mullerian epithelium.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation of Staphylococcus aureus superantigens and human ear keloid formation. Methods: The retrospective case-control study method was used. The discarded keloid tissue was collected from 10 patients (9 females and 1 male, aged 19-59 years) with ear keloid after core excision of ear keloid, and the discarded normal skin tissue was collected from 3 female patients (aged 20-24 years) with pigmented nevus after operation, who were admitted to affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from June 2017 to March 2018. The exudation from ear keloid surface was collected for bacteria culture and identification. The keloid and normal skin tissue were collected to detect the protein expression of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A+enterotoxin B+toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) by Western blotting, and the keloid was divided into superantigen positive group and superantigen negative group according to the protein expression of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A+enterotoxin B+TSST-1. The protein expressions of T cell receptor (TCR) V β of keloid in 2 groups were detected by Western blotting. Collagen fibers formation and inflammatory cells infiltration in keloid dermis of 2 groups were observed by Masson and hematoxylin eosin staining, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to detect expression of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A, enterotoxin B, and TSST-1 in keloids with superantigen positive. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test. Results: Bacteria were cultured from the exudation on ear keloid surface, hemolysis was observed around the dominant bacteria after being cultured for 24 hours, and the colony was white or golden yellow, which was identified as Staphylococcus aureus. The protein expression of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A+enterotoxin B+TSST-1 of normal skin was negative in 3 patients, and the protein expression was 0.267±0.016. The protein expression of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A+enterotoxin B+TSST-1 of keloid was positive in 4 patients, with the protein expression of 0.472±0.016, which was included into superantigen positive group, and the protein expression of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A+enterotoxin B+TSST-1 of keloid was negative in 6 patients, with the protein expression of 0.255±0.004, which was included into superantigen negative group. The protein expression of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A+enterotoxin B+TSST-1 of keloid in superantigen positive group was obviously higher than that of keloid in superantigen negative group and that in normal skin (t=15.22, 8.63, P<0.01). The protein expression of TCR Vβ in keloid of superantigen positive group was 0.389±0.023, which was significantly higher than 0.169±0.014 in superantigen negative group (t=8.62, P<0.01). Masson staining showed that a large number of collagen fibers existed in dermis of keloid in 2 groups. HE staining showed that there were a small number of inflammatory cells infiltration around the blood vessels of keloid dermis in superantigen negative group and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration around the blood vessels of keloid in superantigen positive group. Among the 4 patients with superantigen positive keloid, Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A was positive in 2 patients, Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B was positive in 2 patients, and among that Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A and enterotoxin B were both positive in 1 patient, with no TSST-1 detected in any patient. Conclusions: The superantigen secreted by Staphylococcus aureus is one of the many causes of ear keloid, which may be related to the activation of keloid signal pathway by superantigen of Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
The caecum is the primary site where microbial fermentation and acidosis occurred. The supplementation of starter feed and alfalfa hay has the potential to influence caecal microbiota and then affect caecal fermentation. This study aims to investigate the effect of starter feed and alfalfa hay supplementation on caecal microbiota, immune homeostasis, and growth of preweaning yaks. Twenty 30-day-old male yak calves were randomly assigned to four groups, which separately fed with milk replacer (CON group), milk replacer with alfalfa hay (A group), milk replacer with starter feed (S group), and milk replacer with starter feed plus alfalfa hay (SA group) throughout the trial. Growth performance and plasma physiological and biochemical indicators were measured every 30 days. Calves were sacrificed at 120 days of age. The caecal contents were collected for measuring pH and contents of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and for characterizing caecal microbiota. The results indicated that individual or simultaneous supplementation with alfalfa hay and starter feed all significantly increased the BW, body height, body length, and chest girth of yak calves. However, supplementation with starter feed significantly increased plasma cortisol, nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ concentrations and the ratio of aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase of yak calves when compared with the control and alfalfa hay feeding groups, while the co-supplementation of starter feed and alfalfa hay could significantly decrease these inflammation-related indices when compared with the starter feeding group. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene showed that starter feed and alfalfa hay separately stimulated the proliferation of starch-decomposing and cellulose- or hemicellulose-decomposing bacteria. This also significantly increased the levels of acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, isobutyrate, and isovalerate in the caecal contents. Furthermore, compared with the S and CON groups, the significantly increased genera of Desulfobulbus, Olsenella, Pseudoflavonifractor, and Stomatobaculum in the SA and A groups were beneficial to the immune homeostasis, and the significantly decreased Blautia, Clostridium IV, Bacteroides, Eubacterium, Clostridium XVIII, and Mogibacterium in the SA and A groups were related to the reduced caecal lactate and LPS contents, the decreased inflammatory reaction, and the improved healthy hepatic condition of yak calves. In conclusion, milk replacer supplemented with alfalfa hay and starter feed is recommended during preweaning to improve yak calf health and growth because this regimen promotes the growth and maintains the immune homeostasis of yak calves.

Abstract
Oak trees (Quercus L.) are important models for estimating abiotic impacts on the population structure and demography of long life span tree species. In this study, we generated genetic data for 17 nuclear microsatellite loci in 29 natural populations of Quercus fabri to estimate the population genetic structure. We also integrated approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) and ecological niche analysis to infer the population differentiation processes and demographic history of this oak species. The genetic analyses indicated two genetic clusters across the 29 populations collected, where most approximately corresponded to the intraspecific differentiation among populations from western and eastern China, whereas admixed populations were mainly found in central mountains of China. The best model obtained from hierarchical ABC simulations suggested that the initial intraspecific divergence of Q. fabri potentially occurred during the late Pliocene (ca. 3.99 Ma) to form the two genetic clusters, and the admixed population group might have been generated by genetic admixture of the two differentiated groups at ca. 53.76 ka. Ecological analyses demonstrated clear differentiation among the Q. fabri population structures, and association estimations also indicated significant correlations between geography and climate with the genetic variation in this oak species. Our results suggest abiotic influences, including past climatic changes and ecological factors, might have affected the genetic differentiation and demographic history of Q. fabri in subtropical China.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the histopathology, monocytes phenotypes and brain mRNA transcription of angiogenic and atherogenic factors preliminarily in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs) fed with high salt diet and subjected to chronic focal hypoperfusion. Methods: A total of 21 SHRs were randomly assigned into SHR with normal diet (SHR-ND group, n=7), SHR fed with high salt (8%) chows (SHR-HSD group, n=14) groups. After induction of high salt diet for 20 weeks, unilateral carotid artery occlusion was applied to one half of SHR-HSD (SHR-HSD-UCAO, n=7) group for 10 weeks to mimic chronic focal cerebral hypoperfusion. The neuropathology, monocytes phenotypes and brain transcription of fibroblast growth factor (FGF-b), platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF), angiogenin (ANG), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) among three groups were compared. Results: The systolic blood pressure ((246±12) mmHg vs (220±16) mmHg, P=0.0291, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and diastolic blood pressure ((189±15) mmHg vs (164±12) mmHg, P=0.0143) of SHR-HSD group were elevated significantly compared with those of SHR-ND group. Compared with normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), SHR-ND, SHR-HSD and SHR-HSD-UCAO groups demonstrated lipohyalinosis, vessel wall thickening, lumen narrowing and multiple enlarged perivascular space and diffuse disarrangement of nerve fiber and myelin vacuolation in corpus callosum pathologically. The ratio of CD11b(+) CD68(+) monocytes in peripheral blood of SHR-HSD group was higher compared with both SHR-ND and SHR-HSD-UCAO groups (P=0.000 8). The mean inflorescence index (MFI) of CD86 and CD206 showd considerable decline in SHR-HSD-UCAO group compared with those of SHR-HSD group (P=0.018 7 and 0.016 8, respectively). The CD86 MFI of CD11b+CD68+ monocytes in SHR-HSD-UCAO group was remarkably higher than that of SHR-ND and SHR-HSD groups (P=0.000 5). Compared with SHR-ND and SHR-HSD groups, the brain mRNA transcription of angiogenic factors including PD-ECGF and ANG were down-regulated (P=0.004 6 and 0.000 2, respectively), while the atherogenic factors including TGF-β and VEGF-A were up-regulated in SHR-HSD-UCAO group (P<0.000 1 and P=0.045, respectively). Conclusion: SHR-HSD-UCAO group shares the pathophysiological characteristics with advanced stage arteriosclerotic cerebral small vessel disease (aCSVD), including neuropathology, imbalanced circulating monocytes phenotypes and down-regulated angiogenic factors.

Abstract
Background: A considerable proportion of pediatric disease burden is mainly caused by inborn errors of metabolism. Succinic semi-aldehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency is an unusual disorder of the gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolism. Till date, very few cases have been reported in China.Case presentation: Trio-WES was used to characterize the ALDH5A1 gene in two children of a Chinese family, who presented with seizures, psychomotor delay, development regression, borderline cognition, hypotonia, and harbored the compound heterozygotes NM_001080.3: c.1321G > A (p. Gly441Arg) and c.727_735del (p. Leu243_Ser245del). The former has been reported earlier (rs1041467895), whereas the latter is novel. Amino acid coding at highly conserved amino acid residues was observed to be altered by both mutations. This structural impairment influenced the enzyme structure as indicated by the in silico protein modeling. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging of the proband and her brother showed excessive gap in the cerebrum and abnormal signals in the bilateral frontal lobe, bilateral basal ganglia, and cerebral foot. Elevated levels of Gamma-hydroxybutyric aciduria were found in their patients on urine organic acid analysis.Conclusion: Our findings contribute to the current knowledge of missense and deletion mutations associated with SSADH deficiency.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely exploited as promising candidates in clinical settings for bone repair and regeneration in view of their self-renewal capacity and multipotentiality. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying their fate determination, which would illustrate their effectiveness in regenerative medicine. Recent evidence has shed light on a fundamental biological role of autophagy in the maintenance of the regenerative capability of MSCs and bone homeostasis. Autophagy has been implicated in provoking an immediately available cytoprotective mechanism in MSCs against stress, while dysfunction of autophagy impairs the function of MSCs, leading to imbalances of bone remodeling and a wide range of aging and degenerative bone diseases. This review aims to summarize the up-to-date knowledge about the effects of autophagy on MSC fate determination and its role as a stress adaptation response. Meanwhile, we highlight autophagy as a dynamic process and a double-edged sword to account for some discrepancies in the current research. We also discuss the contribution of autophagy to the regulation of bone cells and bone remodeling and emphasize its potential involvement in bone disease.

Abstract
Oaks (Quercus L.) are ideal models to assess patterns of plant diversity. We integrated the sequence data of five chloroplast and two nuclear loci from 50 Chinese oaks to explore the phylogenetic framework, evolution and diversification patterns of the Chinese oak's lineage. The framework phylogeny strongly supports two subgenera Quercus and Cerris comprising four infrageneric sections Quercus, Cerris, Ilex and Cyclobalanopsis for the Chinese oaks. An evolutionary analysis suggests that the two subgenera probably split during the mid-Eocene, followed by intergroup divergence within the subgenus Cerris around the late Eocene. The initial diversification of sections in the subgenus Cerris was dated between the mid-Oligocene and the Oligocene-Miocene boundary, while a rapid species radiation in section Quercus started in the late Miocene. Diversification simulations indicate a potential evolutionary shift on section Quercus, while several phenotypic shifts likely occur among all sections. We found significant negative correlations between rates of the lineage diversification and phenotypic turnover, suggesting a complex interaction between the species evolution and morphological divergence in Chinese oaks. Our infrageneric phylogeny of Chinese oaks accords with the recently proposed classification of the genus Quercus. The results point to tectonic activity and climatic change during the Tertiary as possible drivers of evolution and diversification in the Chinese oak's lineage.

Abstract
With the increasing number of elderly patients, the risk of diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC) has increased. The objective of this prospective study was to explore the effects of sarcopenia, hypoalbuminemia, and laparoscopic surgery on postoperative complications among elderly patients who recently underwent colorectal surgery. Patients aged over 65 years who underwent surgery for CRC at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were considered for this study. The demographical and clinical characteristics of these patients, as well as postoperative complications, were prospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups depending on the diagnosis of sarcopenia, and the clinical variables corresponding to the two groups were compared. Further, the risk factors associated with postoperative complications were evaluated using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A total of 360 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Incidences of postoperative complications in the sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups were at 38.3% and 27.3%, respectively. In addition, sarcopenia (p=0.029) and hypoalbuminemia (p=0.010) were identified as independent risk factors, while laparoscopic surgery (p=0.023) was identified as a protective factor for postoperative complications. However, laparoscopic surgery was a protective factor for postoperative complications in the colon group only (p=0.001). Sarcopenia and hypoalbuminemia are independent risk factors that influence the probability of developing complications following CRC surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a protective factor for postoperative complications of CRC patients, particularly colon cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of modified tubal resection or ligation on the incidence of interstitial pregnancy during the re-pregnancy. Methods: Patients who underwent tubal resection or ligation in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected as research subjects and randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 43 cases in each group.The observation group received modified tubal resection or ligation, while the control group received traditional tubal resection or ligation, and the occurrence of re-gestation interstitial pregnancy was followed up. Results: A total of 86 subjects were included, with an average age of (32.3±2.6) years old, 2-5 pregnancies, and 2-4 births. There was no statistical difference in general data between the two groups.The success rate of operation in both groups was more than 95%, with 6.98% (3/43) patients in the observation group having temporary fever and other discomforts after operation, and 9.30%(4/43) patients in the control group having good outcomes.In the observation group and the control group, 36 and 34 patients underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer three months after the operation, respectively, and 23 pregnancies were successful in each group. All pregnancies in the observation group were intrauterine, and no ipsilateral tubal interstitial pregnancy occurred; in the control group, 19 were intrauterine pregnancies, and 4 cases of ipsilateral tubal interstitial pregnancy occurred.Ipsilateral tubal interstitial pregnancy after modified tubal ligation was significantly lower than that after traditional tubal resection or ligation (χ(2)=4.195, P=0.041). Conclusion: Modified tubal ligation and resection can effectively reduce the occurrence of interstitial pregnancy during the re-pregnancy.

Abstract
Effectively identifying the genetic structure and related factors of a species can facilitate understanding the evolutionary history of the species. Phylogeographic patterns and genetic data are essential in investigating the species historical processes and diversification that response to environmental, climatic and geological influences. In this study, Specific Length Amplified Fragment Sequencing (SLAF-seq) data and ecological niche models (ENMs) are combined to identify the genetic structure and demographic modeling of Quercus spinosa, and evaluate the impacts of historical range shifts, climatic variation, and landscape factors on this species. The population topology and genetic divergence of the Cenozoic were inferred by a site frequency spectrum based composite-likelihood approach which is a novel strategy for maximizing the utility of linked SLAF markers. The overall genetic structure using model-based and model-free clustering methods was consistently identified as two geographically distinct genetic clusters. A deep divergence between two natural lineages (i.e., a western Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains lineage and an eastern Qin-ling Mountains lineage) was observed. The demographic modeling and Niche reconstruction indicated that the two groups were diverged in the late Miocene and then presented as two distinct genetic lineages. With the Quaternary glacial climate fluctuation, two groups had continuous asymmetrical secondary contact and gene exchange in the Sichuan Basin during the last glacial maximum. Besides, a significant relationship between genetic distance and geography in all individuals was identified by the Mantel test. Overall, this study 1) contributes to a better understanding of the role played by Quaternary climatic fluctuation in the present-day distributions of Q. spinosa; 2) provides a comprehensive view of the genome-wide variation of sclerophyllous forests in ecological adaptive evolution; 3) indicates that dispersal limitation and ecological divergence contribute to the genome-wide differentiation of Q. spinosa, which supports a hypothesis that complex geography and climatic changes strongly influence the evolutionary origin and history of the species.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to summarize and analyze the clinical features of thyroid cancer surgery patients, and provide information and guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Method:The medical records of 854 patients with thyroid cancer who met the inclusion criteria from January 2013 to December 2018 were collected from the hospital's medical record system. Patients were grouped by age group and their stratified studies were performed on age, gender, pathological type, and cervical lymph node metastasis. Result:The total number of patients with thyroid cancer surgery in 2013-2018 showed an increasing trend. There was no significant difference in the age composition of thyroid cancer patients between different years (P>0.05), but the age of 20-54 years old gradually increased with age, and reached a peak at 50-54 years old, then gradually decreased. There was no significant difference in gender composition between patients with thyroid cancer surgery in 2013-2018 (P>0.05), but in 40-44 years old, the prevalence of women in the 50-54 age group was higher than that in men (P<0.05), The prevalence of men in the 70-74 age group was higher than that in women (P<0.05), and the peak period of both was 50-54 years old. Papillary carcinoma accounted for a high proportion (96.8%) in the pathological types of thyroid cancer surgery patients in 2013-2018, and the incidence of women in the 40-44 age group was higher than that in men(P<0.01), in the 70-74 age range. The incidence was higher than that of women (P<0.01). The incidence of follicular carcinoma (1%) was higher in men than in women (P<0.05). The incidence of lymph node metastasis in women with thyroid cancer was lower than that in men (P<0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of thyroid cancer in different age groups has its own characteristics, and prevention and control measures should be formulated according to age groups.

Abstract
Objective:Since bacterial infection is one of the common pathogenic factors lead to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), our study is designed to investigate the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of nasal colonized bacteria in patients with CRS, and to analyze the correlation between nasal colonized bacteria and pathogenesis of CRS. Method:Nasal vestibule samples collected from 200 patients with CRS were automatically inoculated on to various bacterial culture medium, cultured by WaspLab microbiology automated system, potential pathogenic bacterial colonies grew on agar plates were then examined, identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry, and analyzed their antibiotic-resistant phenotype by antibiotic susceptibility testing. Result:Two hundred and seventy-five bacterial strains of nasal colonization were isolated, including coagulase-negative Staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, Moraxella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenza, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacteriaceae such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. All strains displayed various degrees of antimicrobial resistance among children and adult patients, or among patients with and without endoscopic sinus surgery. Conclusion:The constitution of nasal colonized commensal bacteria in patients with CRS was partially similar to that of pathogenic bacteria causing CRS. They may form a reservoir of antimicrobial resistant pathogens, which would transform into pathogenic bacteria causing CRS under certain conditions. Screening of nasal colonized bacteria may represent an alternative approach for diagnosis and treatment of CRS.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of S-1 single agent adjuvant chemotherapy for the patients undergoing radical resection of extrahepatic biliary carcinoma. Methods: The clinical data of 108 patients with extrahepatic biliary carcinoma receiving radical resection who were admitted from January 2014 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 62 males(57.4%)and 46 females(42.6%),with a median age of 59 years (range:26 to 79 years),10 cases(9.3%) in stage Ⅱ,85 cases(78.7%) in stage Ⅲ, and 13 cases (12.0%) in stage Ⅳ, 40 cases(37.0%) of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, 8 cases(7.4%) of middle cholangiocarcinoma, 25 cases (23.2%) of distal cholangiocarcinoma, 35 cases(32.4%) of gallbladder carcinoma.After radical resection of extrahepatic biliary carcinoma, 49 patients receiving S-1 single agent chemotherapy and 59 patients receiving non-special treatment were divided into the chemotherapy group and the operation group,respectively. All the dates of the patients were followed up and collected with the overall survival time,tumor-free survival time,1,2 and 3-year survival rate after operation,and the rate of major toxic reaction during chemotherapy of the chemotherapy group. Survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival analysis was done using the Log-rank test. Results: There were no significant differences in the general date of two groups(sex, age, tumor size, tumor site, TNM stages, degree of differentiation). The median overall survival time and the median tumor-free survival time in the chemotherapy group were 27 months and 21 months,respectively,and in the operation group were 21 months and 17 months,respectively. There were differences between the two groups in the overall survival rates(χ(2)=3.967,P<0.05) and the 2 and 3-year survival rate(63.3%,36.6%;41.6%,20.4%;χ(2)=4.510,P<0.05;χ(2)=6.143,P<0.05),but the 1-year overall survival rate (83.4%,79.7%)was not statistically significant(χ(2)=0.286,P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the tumor-free survival time,1,2 and 3-year tumor-free survival rate(77.6%,41.4%,33.1%;62.7%,30.9%,21.2%)between the two groups(χ(2)=0.876,P>0.05;χ(2)=0.252,P>0.05;χ(2)=1.571,P>0.05;χ(2)=3.323,P>0.05,respectively). The main toxic reaction during chemotherapy were dyspepsia(28.6%, 14/49), anemia(26.5%, 13/49), and leukopenia(22.5%, 11/49), all of which were mild. Conclusion: S-1 single agent chemotherapy after radical reseetion of extrahepatic biliary carcinoma could effectly improve the survival of patients and all of the main toxic reaction during chemotherapy were mild.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of non-breathing-related sleep fragmentation on cognitive function in patients with atherosclerotic cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD). Methods: Seventy-two patients with arteriosclerotic CSVD in the Department of Neurology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled in this study from August 2017 to July 2018. The patients undertook MRA(Magnetic Resonance Angiography)+SWI(Susceptibility weighted imaging), polysomnography, Montreal Cognitive Inventory (MoCA) and Concise Mental State Examination (MMSE). The patients were divided into study group (≥19) and control group (<19) according to the median number of arousal events (median=19) at night. Results: The sleep efficiency, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep ratio and non-rapid eye movement-3 (NREM-3) sleep ratio of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the total MoCA score (18.2±4.3) , visual space score(1.9±1.4) and delayed recall score(1.4±0.9) of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (22.7±3.5, 2.9±1.2, 2.9±1.1, P<0.05). Conclusion: The incidence of non-breathing-related sleep fragmentation is high in CSVD patients and this kind of fragmentation is associated with cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Objective: To elucidate the clinicopathologic characteristics of atypical epithelioid trophoblastic lesions with cyst and fistula formation after cesarean section. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 4 cases of post-cesarean atypical epithelioid trophoblastic lesions with cyst and fistula formation diagnosed at Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University during April 2007 to June 2018 were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin stain and EnVision two-step immunohistochemical staining technique. Results: The age of the 4 patients ranged from 32 to 41 years, with a mean age of 36.5 years. Three patients recieved cystectomy and one underwent subtotal hysterectomy. Histologically, the lesions were well circumscribed and consisted of uniform cells of medium size, irregularly enlarged with hyperchromatic nuclei and 1 to 2 inconspicuous nucleoli embedded in abundant hyalinized matrix with fibrinoid material in the center. The cells exhibited immunohistochemical feature of chorionic-type intermediate trophoblastic cells (CK18+, p63+ and CD146-). All patients were alive without recurrence during follow-up of 1 to 40 months (mean=22 months). Conclusion: Atypical epithelioid trophoblastic lesion with cyst and fistula formation after cesarean section has unique histological features, and its biological behavior and prognosis are still unclear, which need further exploration.

Abstract
As the most commonly occurring form of primary renal tumor, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignancy accompanied by a high mortality rate. 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) has been established as a protein target and generated considerable interest in both the pharmaceutical and academia industry. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of si-PDK1 on the RCC cell apoptosis, proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in connection with the PI3K-PDK1-Akt pathway. Microarray analysis from the GEO database was adopted to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to RCC, after which the positive expression of the PDK1 protein in tissue was determined accordingly. The optimal silencing si-RNA was subsequently selected and RCC cell lines 786-O and A498 were selected and transfected with either a si-PDK1 or activator of the PI3K-PDK1-Akt pathway for grouping purposes. The mRNA and protein expressions of PDK1, the PI3K-PDK1-Akt pathway-, EMT- and apoptosis-related genes were then evaluated. The effect of si-PDK1 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration was then analyzed. Through microarray analysis of GSE6344, GSE53757, GSE14762 and GSE781, PDK1 was examined. PDK1 was determined to be highly expressed in RCC tissues. Si-PDK1 exhibited marked reductions in relation to the mRNA and protein expression of PDK1, PI3K, AKT as well as Vimentin while elevated mRNA and protein expressions of E-cadherin were detected, which ultimately suggested that cell migration, proliferation and invasion had been inhibited coupled with enhanced levels of cell apoptosis. While a notable observation was made highlighting that the PI3K-PDK1-Akt pathway antagonized the effect of PDK1 silencing. Taken together, the key observations of this study provide evidence suggesting that high expressions of PDK1 are found in RCC, while highlighting that silencing PDK1 could inhibit RCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT by repressing the PI3K-PDK1-Akt pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acne vulgaris is a common chronic skin disease. Inflammation is an important pathogenetic mechanism of acne, and NLRP3 polymorphisms have been reported to be involved in the mediation and occurrence of the inflammation. However, only a few studies on NLRP3 and acne have been reported, and the mechanism remains unclear. AIM To investigate two SNPs in the NLRP3 gene in patients with acne vulgaris (AV) and healthy controls (HCs) in a Chinese population. METHODS A case-control study was performed with 428 patients with AV and 384 (HCs). The SNPs rs10754558 and rs4612666 of the NLRP3 gene were genotyped using PCR with sequence-specific primers. A dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine whether the SNP rs10754558 might be responsible for the altered NLRP3 gene expression in AV by disrupting the interaction between micro-RNA (miR)-4273 and NLRP3 mRNA. Additionally, the mRNA level of NLRP3 was measured by PCR in the two groups. RESULTS The frequencies of the G allele of rs10754558 were 0.54 in patients and 0.49 in HCs (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed for SNP rs4612666. Dual luciferase reporter assay revealed that luciferase activity was downregulated by about 40% when the G allele of rs10754558 coexisted with miRNA-4273, indicating that the G allele might interfere with miR-4273 function and alter NLRP3 expression. The level of NLRP3 mRNA in patients with AV was significantly higher than that in HCs. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that the NLRP3 SNP rs10754558 is associated with the incidence of AV. The G allele might be a genetic risk factor for AV in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Aloe vera has been widely investigated and used as folk medicine since ancient time. Biologically active substances in its gel include polysaccharides, glycoprotein, enzymes, anthraquinones or phenolic compounds, vitamins, minerals, and so on, which play important roles in anti-inflammatory response, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant activity, immunoregulation effects, and especially in wound healing. In this paper, we review the advances in the mechanism and clinical application of Aloe vera and its extract on wound healing, so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of various kinds of wounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The topological organization of brain functional networks is impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the altered patterns of functional network hubs in different subtypes of PD are not completely understood. METHODS 3T resting-state functional MRI and voxel-based graph-theory analysis were employed to systematically investigate the intrinsic functional connectivity patterns of whole-brain networks. We enrolled 31 patients with PD (12 tremor dominant [TD] and 19 with postural instability/gait difficulty [PIGD]) and 22 matched healthy controls. Whole-brain voxel-wise functional networks were constructed by measuring the temporal correlations of each pair of brain voxels. Functional connectivity strength was calculated to explore the brain network hubs. RESULTS We found that both the TD and PIGD subtypes had comprehensive disrupted regions. These mainly involved the basal ganglia, cerebellum, superior temporal gyrus, pre- and postcentral gyri, inferior frontal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, lingual gyrus, insula, and parahippocampal gyrus. Furthermore, the PIGD subgroup had more disrupted hubs in the cerebellum than the TD subgroup. These disruptions of hub connectivity were not correlated with the HY stage or disease duration. CONCLUSION Our results emphasize the subtype-specific PD-related degeneration of brain hubs, providing novel insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of connectivity dysfunction in different PD subgroups.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of ceramic materials thickness and resin cement shades on the final color of ceramic veneers in the discolored teeth, and to investigate the color agreement of try-in pastes to the corresponding resin cements. Methods: Sixty artificial maxillary central incisor teeth (C2 shade) were used to simulate the natural discolored teeth and prepared according to veneer tooth preparation protocol. Veneers of different thickness in the body region (0.50 and 0.75 mm) were fabricated using ceramic materials (LT A2 shade, IPS e.max Press). The ceramic veneer specimens were bonded to the artificial teeth using the 6 shades of resin cements (Variolink Veneer: shades of LV-3, LV-2, HV+3; RelyX™ Veneer: shades of TR, A3, WO) (n=5). A clinical spectrophotometer was used to measure the color parameters of ceramic veneers at the cervical, body and incisal regions. Color changes of veneers before and after cementation were calculated and registered as ΔE1, and the changes between try-in paste and the corresponding resin cements were registered as ΔE2. Results: Three-way ANOVA indicated that ΔE1 and ΔE2 values were significantly affected by the ceramic thickness, resin cement shades and measuring regions (P<0.05). The ΔE1 values of six shades ranged from 0.59-8.27. The ΔE1 values were more than 2.72 when the ceramic veneers were cemented with resin cements in shades of HV+3 and WO. The ΔE2 values of six shades ranged from 0.60-2.56. The shades of HV+3, WO and A3 resin cements were more than 1.60. Conclusions: Different thickness of ceramic materials, resin cement shades and measuring regions could affect the final color of ceramic veneers. The color differences of some resin cements and corresponding try-in pastes might be observed in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens isolated from hospitalized children with burn infection. Methods: Totally 541 patients were hospitalized in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, the 180th Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army(PLA), the 92th Hospital of PLA, and Longyan First Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015. Totally 848 clinical specimens (blood, catheter tip attachments, wound exudate, etc.) were collected for pathogen detection. After being identified by an automatic microbiological identification system, drug resistance of pathogens to 41 commonly-used antibiotics in clinic including gentamicin, aztreonam, erythromycin, clindamycin, etc. was tested by K-B paper disk diffusion method or minimal inhibitory concentration detection method. The SPSS 20.0 statistical software was used to analyze the following subjects: the detection rates of pathogens in different years, from different hospitals, and with different sources, the distribution of gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and fungi, the distribution of major pathogens, the detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus, the resistant rates of common gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria to antibiotics. Results: The total detection rate of pathogens was 35.14% (298/848). The detection rates of pathogens were 52.29% (114/218), 33.20% (83/250), and 26.58% (101/380) in 2013, 2014, and 2015 respectively, 38.45% (198/515), 51.43% (18/35), 71.70% (38/53), and 17.96% (44/245) from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, the 180th Hospital of PLA, the 92th Hospital of PLA, and Longyan First Hospital respectively, and 136/261, 8/137, 3/4, and 7/48 from wound exudate, blood, drainage fluid or tissue fluid, and the other specimens (including catheter tip attachments, sputum, feces) respectively. Among the 298 pathogens, 159 (53.36%) strains were gram-positive bacteria, 129 (43.29%) strains were gram-negative bacteria, and 10 (3.36%) strains were fungi. The detection rate of Staphylococcus aureus was the highest, totally 68 strains, accounting for 22.82%, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus epidermidis, with 37, 31, and 22 strains, accounting for 12.42%, 10.40%, and 7.38% respectively. Among Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounted for 70.59% (48/68). Among Staphylococcus epidermidis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) accounted for 68.18% (15/22). The resistant rates of MRSA and MRSE to penicillin and ampicillin were all 100.0%, and the resistant rates of MRSA to erythromycin, tetracycline, clindamycin and those of MRSE to erythromycin, cotrimoxazole were high. The high resistant rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa towards antibiotics was detected with cotrimoxazole (83.3%) only. The resistant rates of Acinetobacter baumannii towards piperacillin, ceftazidime, and cotrimoxazole were high (from 58.8% to 71.4%). Conclusions: During the three years, there is large difference in the detection rate of pathogens from these four hospitals in Fujian province. The majority of pathogens were Gram-positive bacteria. The four dominant pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Most of the pathogens were resistant to antibiotics commonly used in clinic in different degree, especially MRSA, MRSE and Acinetobacter baumannii, which showed high resistance towards antibiotics.
