Abstract
Lipids are widespread in nature and play a pivotal role as a source of energy and nutrition for the human body. Vegetable oils (VOs) constitute a significant category in the food industry, containing various lipid components that have garnered attention for being natural, environmentally friendly and health-promoting. The review presented the classification of raw materials (RMs) from oil crops and quality analysis techniques of VOs, with the aim of improving comprehension and facilitating in-depth research of VOs. Brief descriptions were provided for four categories of VOs, and quality analysis techniques for both RMs and VOs were generalized. Furthermore, this study discussed the applications of lipidomics technology in component analysis, processing and utilization, quality determination, as well as nutritional function assessment of VOs. Through reviewing RMs and quality analysis techniques of VOs, this study aims to encourage further refinement and development in the processing and utilization of VOs, offering valuable references for theoretical and applied research in food chemistry and food science.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody regimen for primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL). Methods: Patients diagnosed with pPCL from December 1st, 2018 to July 26th, 2023, receiving first-line treatment of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody-based regimens across multiple centers including Peking University People's Hospital, Fuxing Hospital of Capital Medical University, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Handan Central Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University and General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were consecutively included. A total of 24 pPCL patients were included with thirteen being male and eleven being female. The median age [M(Q1, Q3)] was 60 (57, 70) years. Patients were grouped according to peripheral blood plasma cell (PBPC) percentage [5%-19% (n=14) vs ≥20% (n=10)]. Last follow-up date was September 26th, 2023. The median follow-up period was 9.1 (4.2, 15.5) months. Patients' data related with clinical baseline characteristics, efficacy, survival and safety were retrospectively collected. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze risk factors associated with survival. Results: Among 24 pPCL patients, 16 (66.7%) patients had anemia at diagnosis, 13(54.2%) patients had thrombocytopenia, 8 (33.3%) patients had a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<40 ml·min-1·(1.73m2)-1, 13 (54.2%) patients had elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. The median PBPC percentage was 16% (8%, 26%) . Fluorescence in situ hybridization testing indicated that patients harboring 17p deletion, t(4;14) or t(14;16) were 6 (25.0%), 4 (16.7%) and 4 (16.7%), respectively. The overall response rate was 83.3% (20/24). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 20.5 (95%CI: 15.8-25.2) months, and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. Estimated 1-year and 2-year PFS and OS rates were 75.0% and 89.1%, 37.5% and 53.4%, respectively. The median PFS and OS for patients with PBPC percentages 5%-19% and≥20% were not reached and 20.5 (95%CI:15.7-25.3) months, 17.8 months and not reached, respectively. There was no significant statistical difference of PFS and OS between two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that 1p32 deletion was the risk factor associated with PFS (HR=7.7, 95%CI: 1.1-54.9, P=0.043). Seventeen patients (70.8%) developed grade 3-4 hematologic toxicities. Twelve patients (50.0%) developed grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia. Sixteen patients (66.7%) developed infection. All hematologic toxicities and infections were improved after supportive treatment. Conclusion: First-line treatment with anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody-based therapy for pPCL is effective and safe.

Abstract
The suppression of ferroptosis is emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy for effectively treating a wide range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, organ ischemia-reperfusion injury, and inflammatory conditions. However, the clinical utility of ferroptosis inhibitors is significantly impeded by the limited availability of rational drug designs. In our previous study, we successfully unraveled the efficacy of ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) attributed to the synergistic effect of its ortho-diamine (-NH) moiety. In this study, we present the discovery of the ortho-hydroxyl-amino moiety as a novel scaffold for ferroptosis inhibitors, employing quantum chemistry as well as in vitro and in vivo assays. 2-amino-6-methylphenol derivatives demonstrated remarkable inhibition of RSL3-induced ferroptosis, exhibiting EC50 values ranging from 25 nM to 207 nM. These compounds do not appear to modulate iron homeostasis or lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation pathways. Nevertheless, they effectively prevent the accumulation of lipid peroxides in living cells. Furthermore, compound 13 exhibits good in vivo activities as it effectively protect mice from kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury. In summary, compound 13 has been identified as a potent ferroptosis inhibitor, warranting further investigation as a promising lead compound.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a nomogram for prediction of prognosis in EGFR-positive advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients who were treated with induction chemotherapy (IC) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). The clinical data of 124 NPC patients who received IC sequential CCRT combined with targeted therapy at the Department of Oncology of the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College between June 2017 and September 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the prognostic factors for building the nomogram. RESULTS Multifactorial regression analysis showed that the use of targeted drugs and T stage were independent factors of prognosis (p < 0.05) and the equation Y = 0.476 + 2.733X1 + - 0.758 × 2 (Y = efficacy, X1 = targeted drug therapy, X2 = T stage) was obtained. Then, a prognostic nomogram prediction model was constructed. The prediction model was validated internally for 1000 times using the Bootstrap resampling method with an accuracy of 79.29%. The calibration curve suggests that the predicted values fit well with the true values. The clinical decision curve (DCA) shows that the model has good clinical predictive value. CONCLUSION The use of targeted therapy significantly improved the prognosis of patients with EGFR-positive advanced NPC. For advanced NPC patients with T1 and T2 stages, IC sequenced with CCRT is more effective, and the addition of targeted therapy can further improve patients' prognosis. For advanced NPC patients with T3 and T4 stages, IC sequenced with CCRT is ineffective, and the addition of targeted therapy can significantly improve patient prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of expanded frontal flap and flip scar flap in repairing partial nasal defect. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2012 to January 2022, 26 patients with partial nasal defects who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, including 19 males and 7 females, aged 5 to 61 years. The surgery was performed in 4 stages. In the first stage, a rectangular skin and soft tissue expander (hereinafter referred to as expander) with suitable rated capacity was planted in frontal region and expanded by injecting water regularly. In the second stage, flip scar flap was grafted to reconstruct nasal inner lining, whose area was about 10% larger than the area of defect. The expanded frontal flap with pedicle was transferred to repair the nasal defect, whose pedicle was supraorbital vessel or supratrochlear vessel on the contralateral side of the defect, and the area of expanded flap was 20% larger than the nasal defect area after resection and flipping of scar flap. The donor site of expanded flap was sutured directly. After 3 weeks of flap transferring, the flap was delayed in the third stage. After 1 week of delaying operation, the pedicle of flap was cut off in the fourth stage. The number, rated capacity, injection volume, and expansion time of embedded expanders were recorded. The occurrences of complications including infection, hematoma, ulceration of expanded flap after the first stage operation, and blood supply disorder or necrosis of flap after operation in the second and fourth stages were observed. All the patients were followed up for 1 year at least, and the color of flap, scar of frontal donor site, symmetry of bilateral eyebrows, and the nasal appearance and ventilated function of external nasal tract were observed. Results: A total of 26 expanders were embedded in 26 patients. The rated capacity of expanders ranged from 100 to 300 mL. The injection volume was 1.0 to 1.5 times of the rated capacity of expanders. The expansion time ranged from 2.5 to 4.0 months, with an average time of 3 months. There were no complications occurred after each operation. The follow-up showed that the color of flap was similar to the normal nasal skin, the scar of frontal region was not obvious, the bilateral eyebrows were basically symmetrical, the nose had excellent appearance, ventilation function of external nasal tract was not affected, while some of the patients had downward rotation or unapparent tip-defining point of nose. Conclusions: Using the flip scar flap to reconstruct the nasal inner lining and pre-expanded frontal flap to reconstruct the nasal skin, without free cartilage transplantation to repair the partial nasal defects can achieve satisfied nasal appearance post operation, without abnormal external nasal ventilation function.

Abstract
This article introduces the contents of the latest edition Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies-of Exposure (ROBINS-E) published in June 2022 [ROBINS-E (2022)], and gives some examples about its usage. ROBINS-E is a tool for assessing the risk of bias in non-randomized studies-of exposure. Compared with ROBINS-E (2019), ROBINS-E (2022) adds more bias for observational studies, covers a more comprehensive range of bias, and adds the assessment of the external authenticity of the study. ROBINS-E (2022) adds a preliminary evaluation process to improve the efficiency of evaluation. In addition, ROBINS-E (2022) visualizes and instrumentalizes the use of signal problems in the form of path graph, making it more convenient to use. ROBINS-E (2022), although more consideration has been given to the issue of co-exposure, still does not address the problem of effect modification in co-exposure, and there is still room to expand the applicable research.

Abstract
Biological agents have been widely used in the treatment of many clinical diseases by targeting specific immune cells or cytokines. In the course of clinical use, biological agents can lead to secondary immune deficiency, which increases the risk of infection. At present, there are no evidence-based guidelines or management opinions on the differences of infections caused by various biological agents, how to identify infectious complications in the course of treatment with different biological agents at an early stage, and how to take effective and targeted prevention. This paper summarizes the infection complications and their characteristics that need to be paid attention to in the clinical introduction of biological agents, aiming to help clinicians make reasonable decisions for infection complications in the process of using biological agents, reduce the incidence of infection, and improve the success rate of diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: The primer probes for highly conserved regions of the internal transcribed spacerregions of C. albicans and C. tropicalis were deigned to establish RAP assays for the detections of C. albicans and C. tropicalis; The sensitivity and reproducibility of nucleic acid tests with gradient dilutions of standard strains and specificity of nucleic acid tests with common clinical pathogens causing bloodstream infection were condcuted. M1 protein-magnetic bead enriched plasma C. albicans and C. tropicalis were used for RAP and PCR in with simulated samples and the results were compared. Results: The sensitivity of the established dual RAP assay was 2.4-2.8 copies/reaction, with higher reproducibility and specificity. M1 protein-magnetic bead enrichment of pathogen combined with the dual RAP assay could complete the detections of C. albicans and C. tropicalis in plasma within 4 hours. Fie the pathogen samples at concentration <10 CFU/ml, the number of the samples tested by RAP was higher than that tested by PCR after enrichment. Conclusion: In this study, a dual RAP assay for the detections of C. albicans and C. tropicalis in blood sample was developed, which has the advantages of accuracy, rapidity, and less contaminants and has great potential for rapid detection of Candidemia.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of daptomycin in the treatment of gram-positive infective endocarditis (IE) systematically. Methods: China Biology Medicine Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP Database, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from the time of establishing databases to April 2022 to obtain relevant controlled and uncontrolled studies of daptomycin for gram-positive infective endocarditis, using key search terms ("daptomycin","gram-positive bacterial infections","endocarditis"). We performed literature screening according to inclusion/exclusion criteria, data extraction, and quality assessment, and performed random-effects meta-analyses for pooled results data using R software. Results: A total of 11 studies (including 13 articles) were included. The findings in the three controlled studies showed that in the treatment of staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, there was no statistically significant differences in in-hospital death risk (RR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.24-1.84, P=0.427) and 6-month death risk (RR=1.27, 95%CI: 0.75-2.14, P=0.374) for daptomycin versus anti-staphylococcal penicillin or vancomycin; in the treatment of enterococcal endocarditis, there was no statistically significant difference in death risk (both P>0.05) for daptomycin versus ampicillin combined with ceftriaxone (RR=0.39, 95%CI: 0.06-2.49) and ampicillin or vancomycin plus or minus gentamicin (RR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.05-3.36); and for daptomycin versus ampicillin or vancomycin combined with an aminoglycoside antibiotic, the differences in in-hospital death risk (RR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.11-5.83) and 6-month death risk (RR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.07-3.21) were not statistically significant(both P>0.05). In a cost-effectiveness study, daptomycin as first-line treatment could save the medical cost of 4 037 pounds per patient compared with vancomycin over a longer period of patient treatment. The results of the meta-analysis of uncontrolled studies showed that the mean clinical success rate of daptomycin for left-side endocarditis was 77% (95%CI: 70% to 83%; I2=28%), for MSSA-infective right-side endocarditis was 87% (95%CI: 73%-95%), and for MRSA-infective right-side endocarditis was 78% (95%CI: 38%-95%; I2=49%); while the mortality rate [mean mortality rate for left-side endocarditis was 13% (95%CI: 11%-17%; I2=0); the mortality rate for right-side endocarditis was reported in only 2 studies, 3% and 27%, respectively] or the rate of daptomycin-related adverse events (4%) was within the acceptable ranges for clinical practice. Conclusions: The death risk in the treatment of infective endocarditis with dattomycin is comparable to that of other antibiotics, and the clinical success rate is higher. Some efficacy may be achieved with daptomycin while other treatments are not effective in treating IE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suanzaoren-Wuweizi herb-pair (SWHP), composed of Zizyphi Spinosi Semen (Suanzaoren in Chinese) and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus (Wuweizi in Chinese), is a traditional herbal formula that has been extensively used for the treatment of insomnia. The study aimed to explore the targets and signal pathways of Suanzaoren-Wuweizi (S-W) in the treatment of anxiety by network pharmacology, and to verify the pharmacodynamics and key targets of SWHP in mice. METHODS The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) as well as literature mining were used to obtain the main chemical ingredients of Suanzaoren and Wuweizi. The SwissTargetPrediction platform was used to predict drug-related targets. The GeneCards, TTD, DisGeNET and OMIM databases were used to obtain potential targets for the treatment of anxiety with the chemical components of S-W. Drug-disease intersection genes were selected, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using STRING. The core targets of S-W in the treatment of anxiety were selected according to the topological parameters, and GO functional enrichment as well as KEGG pathways enrichment analyses were performed for potential targets. The relationship network of the "drug-active ingredient-disease-target-pathway" was constructed through Cytoscape 3.8.0. The pharmacodynamics of SWHP in the treatment of anxiety was evaluated by the elevated plus maze (EPM), the light/dark box test (LDB) and the open field test (OFT). The mechanisms were examined by measuring monoamine neurotransmitters in brain of mice. RESULTS The results showed that there were 13 active ingredients for the treatment of anxiety in the network. This includes sanjoinenine, swertisin, daucosterol, schizandrer B, wuweizisu C and gomisin-A. Additionally, there were 148 targets, such as AKT1, TNF, SLC6A4, SLC6A3, EGFR, ESR1, HSP90AA1, CCND1, and DRD2, mainly involved in neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions, the Serotonergic synapse pathway and the cAMP signaling pathway. After 1 week of treatment, SWHP (2 and 3 g/kg) induced a significant increase on the percentage of entries into and time spent on the open arms of the EPM. In the LDB test, SWHP exerted anxiolytic-like effect at 2 g/kg. In the open-field test, SWHP (2 g/kg) increased the number of central entries and time spent in central areas. The levels of brain monoamines (5-HT and DA) and their metabolites (5-HIAA, DOPAC) were decreased after SWHP treatment. CONCLUSIONS The anti-anxiety effect of SWHP may be mediated by regulating 5-HT, DA and other signaling pathways. These findings demonstrated that SWHP produced an anxiolytic-like effect and the mechanism of action involves the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, although underlying mechanism remains to be further elucidated.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the safety and efficacy of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) extracted from tumor tissue in patients with pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma, the TILs were amplified in vitro to reach clinical dosage and reinfused to the patients combined with high-dose interleukin 2 (IL-2). Methods: Twelve subjects with pathologically diagnosed osteosarcoma were enrolled from December 2019 to June 20, 2021 in Shanghai General Hospital. All subjects progressed with metastasis after standard chemotherapy and failed multiple lines of treatments. Fresh tumor tissue was obtained from the metastatic site and extracted and amplified by Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) workshop to produce TILs to clinical treatment dosage (109-1011). High-dose IL-2 (100 000-200 000 U/kg) was administered immediately after autogenous TILs infusion to promote the activation, proliferation and antitumor cytolytic activity in vivo. Adverse events (AE) were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) standard and tumor response was assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Results: One patient did not receive treatment due to failure in isolating TILs, total of 11 patients received a single re-infusion of autologous TILs. There were 10 males and 1 female with a median age of 19.9 years (12-33 years). Six of these patients received higher dose levels of 1.0×1010 TILs. The 11 patients were followed-up for 1 to 13 months and tolerated well. The most common adverse events reported were fever (10/11), constipation (3/11) and elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) (3/11). The high incidence of fever was due to the IL-2 infusion. All patients experienced a transient drop in lymphocyte count and leukopenia leading to non-myeloid ablative lymphocyte clearance. The AE included grade 4 hematologic toxicity, including 8 cases of lymphocytopenia, 2 cases of neutropenia and 1 case of thrombocytopenia. No AE of neurotoxicity occurred. Of all the 11 patients, 9 patients got stable disease (SD) and 2 patients had progressive disease (PD). The disease control rate was 9/11. The median duration of SD was more than 4 months, and the maximum tumor volume decreased by close to 20%. Patient number 9 had sustained SD status for more than 6 months. Conclusions: TILs with in vitro expansion ability could be isolated from tumor tissues of advanced osteosarcoma patients. TILs amplified and reinfused in vitro have anti-osteosarcoma activity.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of hepatitis E vaccine(HEV)in Maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients. Methods: Based on an open-labeled controlled trial, from May 2016 to March 2018, 35 eligible MHD patients were recruited in the Hemodialysis Center of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University as the experimental group, and 70 MHD patients with matched age, gender and underlying diseases as the control group. The experimental group received HEV at 0, 1 and 6 months according to the standard vaccination procedures, while the control group received routine diagnosis and treatment without vaccine and placebo injection to observe the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine. The safety of vaccine in MHD population was evaluated by the incidence of adverse reactions/events in the experimental and control groups. The immunogenicity of HEV in MHD patients was evaluated by comparing the data from the phase Ⅲ clinical trial. Results: The overall incidence of adverse reactions/events was 17.1% (18/105), and there were no grade 3-4 adverse reactions/events related to vaccination. In the experimental group, the incidence of local adverse reactions/events was 20.0% (7/35), and the incidence of systemic adverse reactions/events was 17.1% (6/35).There was no significant difference in the incidence of systemic adverse reactions/events between the experimental group and the control group (P>0.05). There were 23 patients receiving 3 doses with the standard schedule. The positive rate of HEV-IgG antibody was 100% and the GMC was 14.47(95%CI:13.14-15.80) WU/ml, which showed no significant difference compared with the 46 patients in Phase Ⅲ clinical trial (t=-1.04, P>0.05). Conclusion: Recombinant HEV has good safety and immunogenicity in MHD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the real prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis infections in the freshwater fish in mainland China, so as to provide insights into clonorchiasis control and detection of freshwater fish. METHODS All literatures reporting the prevalence of C. sinensis infections in the freshwater fish, the second intermediate host of the parasite, were jointly retrieved in Chinese and English electronic databases from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020, including Wanfang Data, CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library. All studies were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of all enrolled literatures was evaluated. The pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using the software Stata version 15.0, and subgroup analyses were performed to investigate the region-, season- and sample source-specific pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish. In addition, the sensitivity and publication bias of all included studies were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 40 eligible literatures were included in this study, including 37 Chinese literatures and 3 English literatures, and there were 10 high-quality literatures, 27 moderate-quality literatures and 3 low-quality literatures. A total of 53 species containing 37 959 freshwater fish were reported in these 40 studies, and 73.58% (39/53) of freshwater fish species were identified with C. sinensis infections. Meta-analysis showed 23.5% [95% CI: (0.19, 0.28)] pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish in mainland China, and subgroup analyses higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish in northeastern China [35.7%, 95% CI: (0.22, 0.50)] than in central [25.9%, 95% CI: (0.04, 0.48)] and southern China [20.6%, 95% CI: (0.09, 0.32)], higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish sampled in spring [44.1%, 95% CI: (0.35, 0.53)] than in autumn [6.7%, 95% CI: (0.05, 0.08)] and summer [3.3%, 95% CI: (-0.01, 0.07)], and higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish sampled from natural water [25.2%, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.33)] than from retail trades [22.2%, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.28)] and breeding chain [12.3%, 95% CI: (0.03, 0.22)]. However, all included studies had a publication bias with a low sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of C. sinensis infections is high in freshwater fish in mainland China, and there are still challenges for clonorchiasis control. Reinforcement of health education, diagnostics development and food safety supervision is recommended in future clonorchiasis control programs.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a clinical prediction model for infection risk at the placement sites of skin and soft tissue expanders (hereinafter termed as expanders) and to validate the predictive value of the model. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. Totally 2 934 patients who underwent skin and soft tissue dilatation surgery in the Department of Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2009 to December 2018 and met the selection criteria were included. There were 1 867 males and 1 067 females, with a median age of 18 years. Totally 3 053 skin and soft tissue expansion procedures were performed with 4 266 expanders implanted. The following indexes were selected as predictor variables, including patients' age, gender, marital status, ethnicity, hospital admission, surgical indication, disease duration, with/without history of smoking, history of drinking, history of blood transfusion, history of underlying diseases, and inability to use cephalosporin antibiotics due to allergy, number of expander in a single placement, rated volume of expander, water injection rate of expander in the first time, placement site of expander, anesthesia method, duration of operation, and with/without postoperative hematoma evacuation, and infection at the placement site of expander as the outcome variable. Univariate analysis of the data was performed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression to screen the potential risk factors affecting infection at the placement sites of expanders, the factors selected by the univariate analysis were subjected to binary multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen the independent risk factors affecting infection at the placement sites of expanders, and a nomogram prediction model for the occurrence of infection at the placement sites of expanders was established. The C index and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test were used to evaluate the discrimination and accuracy of the model, respectively, and the bootstrap resampling was used for internal verification. Results: The results of LASSO regression showed that age, gender, hospital admission, surgical indication, disease duration, history of drinking, history of heart disease, history of viral hepatitis, history of hypertension, inability to use cephalosporin antibiotics due to allergy, number of expander in a single placement, rated volume of expander, placement site of expander, postoperative hematoma evacuation were the potential risk factors for infection at the placement sites of expanders (regression coefficient=-0.005, 0.170, 0.999, 0.054, 0.510, -0.003, 0.395, -0.218, 0.029, 0.848, -0.116, 0.175, 0.085, 0.202). Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male, emergency admission, disease duration ≤1 year, inability to use cephalosporin antibiotics due to allergy, rated volumes of expanders ≥200 mL and <400 mL or ≥400 mL, and expanders placed in the trunk or the limbs were the independent risks factors for infection at the placement sites of expanders (odds ratio=1.37, 3.21, 2.00, 2.47, 1.70, 1.73, 1.67, 2.16, 95% confidence interval=1.04-1.82, 1.09-8.34, 1.38-2.86, 1.29-4.41, 1.07-2.73, 1.02-2.94, 1.09-2.58, 1.07-4.10, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The C index for evaluating the discriminative degree of the model was 0.63, the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test for evaluating the accuracy of the model showed P=0.685, and the C index for internal validation by the bootstrap resampling was 0.60. Conclusions: Male, emergency admission, disease duration ≤1 year, inability to use cephalosporin antibiotics due to allergy, rated volume of expander ≥200 mL, and expanders placed in the trunk or the limbs are the independent risk factors for infection at the placement sites of expanders. The clinical prediction model for infection risk at the placement sites of expanders was successfully established based on these factors and showed a certain predictive effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis is a common acute abdomen in China. There is a decrease of serum retinol-binding protein (RBP) in some patients, but its clinical significance is not clear.
AIM To explore the relationship between serum RBP and the severity and complications of AP.
METHODS The clinical data of AP patients admitted to Jinling Hospital in 2018 within 7 days of onset were analyzed retrospectively. The enrolled patients were divided into either a normal RBP (NRBP) group or a low RBP (LRBP) group according to the serum RBP level. The baseline characteristics, severity, and prognosis of disease were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the independent risk factors for local complications. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the performance of serum RBP in predicting complications.
RESULTS A total of 176 patients were enrolled, including 41 in the NRBP group and 135 in the LRBP group. The severity of AP in the LRBP group was significantly more severe than that of the NRBP group (MAP: 15.6% vs 39.0%, MSAP: 53.3% vs 29.3%, SAP: 31.1% vs 31.7%; P < 0.05). The incidence of acute necrotic collection was 70.4% in the LRBP group, significantly higher than that (52.1%) of the NRBP group (P < 0.05). The serum level of RBP in patients with local complications was significantly lower than that in patients without (24.00 (15.00, 27.50) mg/L vs 12.00 (9.00, 22.00) mg/L, P < 0.05). The AUC of serum RBP for predicting local complications was 0.708 (95%CI: 0.615-0.801) and the cut-off value was 15.5 mg/L with a sensitivity 60.4% and specificity 75.7%. The decrease of serum RBP was an independent risk factor for local complications (OR = 5.306, P = 0.003, 95%CI: 1.771-15.896).
CONCLUSION The level of serum RBP in the acute phase could predict the occurrence of local complications of AP, but has no significant correlation with systemic inflammatory response and remote organ failure.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the distribution and variance of neonatal pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) at different altitudes in China, and provide a new evidence for the screening of NCHD at high altitudes. Methods: Based on the database of National Screening Project of NCHD, the distribution of SpO2 values was described in 26 766 newborns at altitudes of 0-100 m, 600-700 m, 900-1 100 m, 1 400-1 600 m, 1 900-2 100 m, and 2 200-2 500 m. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the differences among SpO2 values in newborns at different altitudes. Results: The average SpO2 values of right hand in newborns at altitudes of 0-100 m, 600-700 m, 900-1 100 m, 1 400-1 600 m, 1 900-2 100 m and 2 200-2 500 m were 97.7%±1.4%, 97.1%±1.1%, 96.1%±1.3%, 96.0%±1.7%, 95.9%±1.7% and 95.5%±2.4%, respectively. And corresponding average SpO2 values of either foot were 97.7%±1.4%, 96.9%±1.1%, 96.3%±1.4%, 96.0%±1.7%, 95.6%±1.8% and 95.2%±2.7%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the average SpO2 values of newborns at different altitudes (right hand: F=1 248.35, P<0.001; either foot: F=1 280.45, P<0.001). The SpO2 of newborns tended to be lower with the increase of altitudes (P-trend<0.001). Conclusion: SpO2 values in newborns were negatively associated with the altitudes, which indicated that the cut-off value of screening for NCHD at sea level might not be applicable to newborns at higher altitudes. Thus, it is worthwhile to conducted studies on the normal values of SpO2 and the cut-off value of screening for NCHD in newborns at high altitudes.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the consistency of different measurement methods of saliva 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) in different glucose metabolism populations. Methods: From January 2018 to June 2019, 175 healthy volunteers (21-65 years, 58 males and 117 females) with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and 80 diabetic patients (18-70 years, 44 males and 36 females) were enrolled in Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital. Saliva was collected by saliva collection tube, and 1,5-AG was measured using both enzymatic and mass spectrometry methods. Serum 1,5-AG was determined by enzymatic method. Results: In NGT subjects, both serum and saliva 1,5-AG levels detected by enzymatic method were positively correlated with the saliva 1,5-AG levels detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (r=0.247 and 0.523, respectively, both P<0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between saliva and serum 1,5-AG levels detected by enzymatic method (r=-0.074, P=0.333). In diabetic patients, both serum and saliva 1,5-AG levels detected by enzymatic method were positively correlated with the saliva 1,5-AG levels detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (r=0.284 and 0.423, respectively, both P<0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between saliva and serum 1,5-AG levels detected by enzymatic method (r=-0.079, P=0.487). Conclusions: Both serum and saliva 1,5-AG levels detected by enzymatic method have a good consistency with saliva 1,5-AG levels detected by mass spectrometry method. The saliva and serum 1,5-AG levels detected by enzymatic method are not well correlated, and thus the enzymatic detection of saliva 1,5-AG needs further improvement in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effects of single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region in reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck. Methods: From January 2016 to August 2019, 10 male patients, aged from 20 to 52 years with post-burn facial and cervical scar deformities, were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Zhengzhou, with the size of scar ranging from 15 cm×7 cm to 23 cm×11 cm. In the first stage, a cylindrical skin and soft tissue expander with rated capacity ranging from 400 to 600 mL was placed in the frontal-parietal region. Another cylindrical expander with rated capacity ranging from 50 to 100 mL was placed in the temporal region of the patient with scars in front of the ear and in cheek. The injection time was 3 to 5 months with the total injection volume being 1.5 to 2.5 times of the rated capacity of expander. In the second stage, the superficial temporal artery frontal branch and its branches were explored, the expander was removed, the scars in the face and neck were conducted resection and contracture relaxation, and the single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region for reconstruction was performed. When the branches of the superficial temporal vessels were difficult to be detected by Doppler ultrasonic blood stream detector, the patient underwent computed tomography (CT) angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction. The donor site in frontal-parietal region was directly sutured, and the wound of the exposed donor site at the pedicle and temporal region was temporarily covered with scar skin. After the suture wound was healed and the hair in expanded flap grew out, hair removal and laser hair removal were performed. Three to four weeks after transplantation of expanded flap, the flap pedicle was cut off, restored, and trimmed in the third stage. The status about the completion of operation, the implantation of expander in the temporal region, CT angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction were recorded. The effective resection area of expanded flap, the length across the midline and the length of the pedicle, and the survival status of the expanded flap and complications after operation were observed. The appearance of donor and recipient sites, the scar recurrence, the appearance and function improvement of patients, and the satisfaction degree of patients were followed up. Results: All the 10 patients successfully completed three stages of operation, of which 6 patients had an auxiliary expander placement in the temporal region, and 5 patients underwent CT angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction. The effective resection area of expanded flap ranged from 18 cm×8 cm to 25 cm×13 cm. The distal end of the flap across the midline extended 4-6 cm to the opposite side, and the length of pedicle was 2-6 cm. All the expanded flaps of patients survived well after formation and transfer. The venous reflux disorder and obvious swelling occurred in 6 patients at the distal end of the flap after operation, and the blood supply recovered after acupuncture bloodletting, etc. Follow-up of 6 to 24 months showed that the color, texture, and thickness of the expanded flaps were similar to those of the facial skin, and no recurrence of scar was observed; the incision in the donor site of the frontal-parietal region was concealed, the hair growth of the temples and head was normal, and the reconstructed hairline was natural; compared with those before operation, the appearance, head-up, mouth-opening, and other functions of patients were significantly improved; the patients were satisfied with the effect of reconstruction. Conclusions: Clinical application of single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region in reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck can achieve a good appearance and function, and the donor site shows good shape, which enriches the application range of the trans-regional blood supply flap. It is a reliable method for reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck.

Abstract
Objective: To explore clinical outcome of isolated arthroscopic biceps tenodesis by double row for pulley lesions. Methods: Forty-nine patients with pulley lesions were treated from July 2017 to June 2018 in the Department of Sport Medicine, the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University by isolated arthroscopic biceps tenodesis by double row. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the intraoperative damage of the pulley system. In group A, there were 16 patients with isolated superior glenohumeral ligament/coracohumeral ligament (SGHL/CHL) complex lesions, including 9 males and 7 females, aged (55±6) years. In group B, there were 33 patients (15 males and 18 females, aged (57±8) years) with SGHL/CHL complex and adjacent supraspinatus tendon and/or subscapularis tendon articular-side partly tears. Patients in two groups were treated with different isolated arthroscopic biceps tenodesis by double row. Constant-Murley shoulder score and pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score were assessed before operation and 3, 6, 12 months after the operation. Postoperative complications were also recorded in two groups. The t test was used to compare the quantitative data within and between two groups. Results: All 49 patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of (17±6) months. The first-stage healing was achieved in all incisions in the two groups. No surgical complications related to revision, infection, Popeye syndrome and cramping pain were observed in either group. There was 1 case treated by secondary arthroscopy for retrauma in group B. The Constant-Murley shoulder score in group A before the operation was 46±10, and it was increased to 89±9 at the 12 months post operation(t=-22.637, P<0.05); and it was 39±10 and 87±8 before and 12 months after the operation respectively in group B (t=-44.849, P<0.05). The VAS scores in the two groups were both decreased significantly at the 12 months post operation when compared with those before the operation (0.68±0.70 vs 5.25±0.27 and 0.72±0.83 vs 5.69±0.84, respectively) (t=29.007, 37.079, both P<0.05). Conclusion: Isolated arthroscopic biceps tenodesis by double row can relieve pain, recover functions of shoulder joint effectively, and achieve a satisfactory outcome in the treatment of pulley lesions.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of miR-503-5p on the proliferation, invasion, migration and epithelialization of cervical cancer HeLa cells via targeting E2 F3. Methods Four ccervical cancer HeLa cells groups were set up including control group, mimic-NC group, miR-503-5p mimic group, E2 F3 group, miR-503-5p mimic+ E2 F3 group (mimic+ E2 F3 group). The plasmids were separately or jointly transinfected into cervical cancer Hela cells of each group by Lipofectamine 2000, After transinfection, the target gene was predicted by gene prediction software, the targeting relationship was verified by fluorescein experiment, the expression of miR-503-5p and E2 F3 was detected by RT-PCR, cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, expression of Ki67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), E-cadherin and N-cadherin were detected by Western blot, cell invasion was detected by Transwell, and cell migration was detected by scratch test. Nude mice were divided into control group and miR-503-5p mimic group, and 0.2 mL of cervical cancer HeLa cell suspension transfected with mimic-NC or miR-503-5p mimic was injected subcutaneously into the ventral side of the right hind limb of nude mice. Thirty days post injection, the nude mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The tumor weight was weighed by an electronic balance, and the expression of KI67 and Vimentin in the tumor tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The expression level of miR-503-5p in cervical cancer HeLa cells was down-regulated, miR-503-5p directly targeted E2 F3 by binding with E2 F3 at binding sites in the 3'UTR region. Over-expressing of miR-503-5p inhibited the expression of E2 F3, significantly decreased cell growth rate and the expression level of Ki67 and PCNA, decreased the number of invasive cells, widened the scratches, reduced the healing rate, up-regulated the expression of E-cadherin and also down-regulated the expression of N-cadherin ( P<0.01). Over-expressing of miR-503-5p significantly reduced the volume and weight of transplanted tumors, and decreased the proportion of positive Ki67 and Vimentin ( P<0.01). Conclusion miR-503-5p inhibits the proliferation, invasion, migration and epithelialization of cervical cancer HeLa cells by targeting E2 F3.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of albuminuria on diabetic macular edema (DME) and the possible association between baseline urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and intravitreal conbercept (IVC) treatment frequency in DME patients. METHODS In this hospital-based retrospective study, a total of 350 in-patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited and their clinical records were reviewed. Thereafter, 52 patients identified with severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) combined with albuminuria were divided into the microalbuminuria (UAE 30-300 mg/24h) and macroalbuminuria (UAE>300 mg/24h) groups, which were compared and analyzed by both independent sample t-test and Chi-square test. Correlations between the systemic variables and the central foveal thickness (CFT) were evaluated using Spearman's correlation and linear regression analyses. Of the 52 patients with center-involved DME, 43 received an initial combined injection of conbercept (0.5 mg/0.05 mL) and triamcinolone acetonide (1 mg/0.05 mL), followed by an IVC injection, as needed. The relationship between baseline UAE and number of IVC injections during the first year of treatment was analyzed using Spearman's partial correlation. RESULTS Of 350 patients, a higher incidence of DME was observed in severe non-proliferative retinopathy (NPDR) patients than that observed in other groups. By dividing the 52 patients with severe NPDR into the micro- and macro-albuminuria subgroups, significant differences in CFT, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and serum creatinine levels, and UAE were revealed. Furthermore, a positive liner correlation between the UAE and CFT was found. Finally, the partial correlation coefficient adjusted for either the CFT or UAE indicated that both parameters directly correlated with the number of IVC injections administered during the 12mo of follow-up. CONCLUSION Generally, macular edema occurred in patients with severe NPDR, for whom the UAE is an independent risk predictor of DME. The baseline UAE and CFT predicted the treatment frequency of IVC injections administered in the first year for eyes with DME.

Rat models were defined by echocardiographic assessment at 4 weeks post operation and heart failure rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,namely heart failure group (HF group, 9 cases),heart failure+cardiac shock waves therapy group (HF+CSWT group, 9 cases),heart failure+inhibitor(HF+LY294002 group, 9 cases),heart failure+cardiac shock waves therapy group+inhibitor (HF+CSWT+LY294002 group, 9 cases),and another 9 sham-operated SD rats served as control group (sham group, 9 cases). At 8 weeks postoperation, echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac function in each group,myocardial infarct size was measured by TTC staining,the apoptotic index of rats cardiomyocytes were detected by TUNEL method,the myocardial mRNA expression of apoptosis-related factor was detected by real-time quantitative PCR, the protein expression levels of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and apoptosis-related pathways were detected by Western blot. Results: (1) Eight weeks after operation, left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD) were significantly lower in HF+CSWT group than in HF group (all P<0.05), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular shortening rate (LVFS) were significantly higher in HF+CSWT group than in HF group (all P<0.05),LVEF was significantly lower in the HF+ CSWT+ LY294002 group than in HF+ CSWT group (P<0.05). (2) Myocardial infarct size was significantly lower in the HF+ CSWT group than in HF group ((5.57 ± 0.51)% vs. (25.56 ± 0.56)%, P<0.05), which was significantly higher in the HF+CSWT+LY294002 group than in HF+CSWT group ((12.90±2.34)% vs. (5.57±0.51)%,P<0.05). (3) The cardiomyocyte apoptotic index was significantly lower in the HF+CSWT group than in the HF group ((30.25±6.12)% vs. (53.85±9.89)%,P<0.05), which was significantly higher in the HF+CSWT+LY294002 group than in the HF+CSWT group ((46.12±3.42)% vs.(30.25±6.12)%,P<0.05). (4) The myocardial mRNA expression of Bcl-2 was significantly higher, while myocardial mRNA Bax and Caspase-3 expression were significantly lower in HF+CSWT group than in HF group and HF+CSWT+LY294002 group (all P<0.05). (5) The expression levels of p-Akt, Bcl-2 and pro-Caspase-3 in myocardial tissue were significantly higher in the HF+CSWT group than in the HF group and HF+CSWT+LY294002 group (all P<0.05), which were significantly lower in the HF+LY294002 group than in the HF and HF+CSWT+LY294002 groups (all P<0.05). Myocardial Bax protein expression was significantly lower in the HF+CSWT group than in the HF group and the HF+CSWT+LY294002 group (all P<0.05), which was significantly higher in the HF+LY294002 group than in the HF group (P<0.05). Conclusion: CSWT improves cardiac function and inhibits cardiomyocyte apoptosis through PI3K/Akt signaling pathways in this rat HF model.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of neutrophil elastase inhibitor, sivelestat, in preventing and treating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and its underling mechanisms. Methods: A total of forty 4-week-old male C57BL/6J ApoE-/-mice were equally divided into the following four groups: standard chow (SC)+isotonic saline; SC+sivelestat; high-fat, high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet+isotonic saline; and HFHC+sivelestat. These mice were treated with above methods for 12 weeks. Blood and liver tissue samples were collected to measure biochemical parameters, hepatic steatosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (inflammation) were evaluated by oil red O staining and HE staining, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of hepatic inflammatory cytokines, CD68, and F4/80 were determined by quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Comparison of means between the four groups was made by one-way analysis of variance, and comparison between any two groups was made by the LSD or SNK method (for data with homogeneity of variance) or the Tamhane or Dunnett method (for data with heterogeneity of variance). Results: Mice fed with an HFHC diet for 12 weeks developed typical pathological features of NASH compared with those fed with SC. Compared with mice fed with HFHC diet without sivelestat, those treated with HFHC and sivelestat exhibited the following features: (1) significantly reduced fast blood glucose, blood cholesterol, and hepatic biochemical parameters, as well as increased insulin sensitivity; (2) significantly reduced NAFLD activity score (5.71±1.11 vs 3.16±1.16, P < 0.05); (3) reduced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and tumor necrosis factor -α; (4) significantly reduced mRNA levels of CD68 and F4/80; and (5) reduced expression of CD68 in the liver. Conclusion: Sivelestat alleviates the hepatic steatosis and inflammation of NASH in mice by inhibiting the activation of Kupffer cells.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the correlation between circumcision and incidence and clearance of male genital HPV infection. Methods: From May to July 2014, 18-55 year old men who had sexual behavior history were recruited from the general population in Liuzhou, Guangxi to set up a cohort. Totally, 113 circumcised and 560 uncircumcised men were enrolled and interviewed using a questionnaire (including information on demographic characteristics and sexual behaviors), then they were followed-up with 6-month interval for 2 times. On each visit, specimens of male external genitalia were collected and genotyped for HPV DNA. The differences of incidence and clearance of genital HPV infections between circumcised and uncircumcised men were analyzed by Log-rank test. Cox regression was used to analyze the relationship between circumcision and incidence and clearance of HPV infection. Results: The median age (P(25), P(75)) of circumcised and uncircumcised men were 28 (24, 35) and 32 (24, 31), respectively. The incidences of any HPV infections were 9.1 (95%CI: 2.4-15.7) and 8.4 (95% CI: 5.6-11.2) per 1 000 person-months (χ(2)=0.10, P=0.758), respectively. The clearance of circumcised men [136.3 (95%CI: 70.0-202.7) per 1 000 person-months] was higher than that in uncircumcised men [89.6 (95%CI: 65.9-113.3) per 1 000 person-months] (χ(2)=8.19, P=0.004). In multivariate COX regression analysis, compared with uncircumcised men, circumcised men had higher possibility to clear any HPV infections (HR: 2.41, 95%CI: 1.30-4.46). Compared with men having one sexual partner, people having more than 4 sexual partners had lower possibility to clear any HPV infections (HR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.25-0.96). Compared with 18-25 years old men, men aged 26-35 years old had higher possibility to clear high-risk HPV infections (HR: 2.14, 95%CI: 1.08-4.23). Conclusion: Circumcised and uncircumcised men had similar incidence of genital HPV infection, whereas, men conducted circumcision and having fewer sexual partners could increase the clearance of genital HPV infections.

Abstract
Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the levels and relationships of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor(VEGFR) in the bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNC) of chronic mountain sickness (CMS). Methods: A total of 34 patients with CMS and 30 controls residing at altitudes of 3 000-4 500 m were recruited for this study. The levels of VEGF, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 in bone marrow MNC were detected by flow cytometry technique and RT-qPCR. Results: The percentage of VEGFR2 positive cells in the bone marrow MNC of CMS were higher than that of the controls[20.7% (8.1%, 67.6%) vs 8.1% (2.2%, 14.9%), P<0.05], but that of VEGFR1-positive and VEGF-positive were similar in CMS and controls. The mRNA levels of VEGFR2 were higher in the bone marrow MNC of CMS than in the controls[1.7(1.0, 5.1) vs 1.0(0.4, 2.7), P<0.05], while VEGF and VEGFR1 mRNA levels were similar between the two groups. The percentage of VEGFR2 positive cells in CMS were significantly correlated with hemoglobin (r=0.453, P=0.007) and the percentage of VEGF-positive cells (r=0.373, P=0.030). Conclusions: Bone marrow MNC of CMS may show enhanced activity of the VEGF-VEGFR2 pathway, and it appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of CMS.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Psammosilene tunicoides is one of the important ingredients of a famous Chinese traditional medicine formulation "Yunnan Baiyao". Also, this plant is commonly used as an anodyne and hemostatic agent in southwest China. Currently, little toxicological information is available on its safety following prolonged use. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, we sought to evaluate the toxicity of the three different parts of Psammosilene tunicoides: Psammosilenes Radix (PR), Psammosilenes Radix with Cortex (PRC) and Psammosilenes Cortex (PC) by acute and sub-acute toxicity studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the acute toxicity study, mice were orally administrated with different doses of PR, PRC and PC. General behavior and mortality were observed up to 14 days. In sub-acute toxicity study, these aqueous extracts were given orally as a single administration to rats at doses of 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2g/kg/day, respectively, for 28 days. General behavior, body weight, biochemical, hematological, organ coefficients and pathological morphology parameters were detected. RESULTS In acute study, single oral administration of the aqueous extract of PR, PRC and PC caused dose-dependent general behavior adverse effects and mortality. The LD50 values of PR, PRC and PC were 4.64g/kg, 4.85g/kg and 6.40g/kg, respectively. In sub-acute study, the administration of the extract of PR, PRC and PC during 28 days at all doses reduced spontaneous activities with both genders. Occasional nasal secretion with blood at high doses (1.2g/kg) of PR, PRC and PC were observed. Daily single oral administration provoked varying degrees of growth retardation in female rats. The relative heart and spleen weight in the female rats were reduced after the administration. On the hematological and biochemical analyses, the administration of the extract of PR, PRC and PC during 28 days mainly caused variation of indexes in female rats. Histopathological analysis has shown vascular congestion in heart, thickened alveolar wall and emphysema in lung, and vascular congestion in kidney of rats after sub-acute oral administrations. CONCLUSIONS As shown in the results, Psammosilene tunicoides has a toxic potential in acute and sub-acute oral administrations. However, there is no direct relationship between toxicity and the cortex. Daily oral administration of three different parts from Psammosilene tunicoides (PR, PRC and PC) may cause damages to heart, lung and kidney in rats. Thus these extracts should be used with caution.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the role of valproic acid (VPA), a class I selective histone deacetylase inhibitor, on Michigan Cancer Foundation (MCF)-7 breast cancer cells, named and explore its possible molecular mechanism. Methods MCF-7 cells were cultured with sodium valproate (0. 5-4.0 mmol/L) for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h in vitro, respectively. The cell viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle were examined. The activities and protein expressions of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 were subsequently assayed. Finally, mRNA and protein expressions of cyclin A, cyclin D1, cyclin E, and p21 were analyzed. Results Sodium valproate suppressed MCF-7 cell growth, induced cell apoptosis, and arrested G1 phase in a time- and concentration- dependent manner, with the relative cell viabilities decreased, cell apoptosis ratios increased, and percentage of G1 phase enhanced (P < 0.05). Increased activity of caspase-3 and caspase-9, but not caspase-8, and increased protein levels were found under sodium valproate (2.0 mmol/L, 48h). P21 was up-regulated and cyclin D1 was down-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels under sodium valproate (2.0 mmol/L, 48h)(P < 0.05), although cyclin E and cyclin A remained changed. Conclusion These results indicate that VPA can suppress the growth of breast cancer MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis and arresting G1 phase. Intrinsic apoptotic pathway is dominant for VPA-induced apoptosis. For G1 phase arrest, p21 up-regulation and down-regulation of cyclin D1 may be the main molecular mechanism.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) in the diagnosis of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection using Meta-analysis. Methods: Literatures about LAMP in the diagnosis of HBV throughPubMed database of the National Library of Medicine, the EMBASE database of the Dutch Medical Digest, the Cochrane Clinical Trials Database, China Science Periodical Database, CSPD and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched from 2000 to 2016, and the Language limited to Chinese and English. English search terms include: LAMP, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification, HBV, hepatitis B virus; Chinese search terms include: loop-mediated isothermal amplification technology, HBV, hepatitis B virus. The keywords and free words are combined to search the literature, and the references mentioned in the retrieval literature are searched twice. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), Q index as well as area under summary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) were calculated with Stata 12.0 software. Results: A total of 12 literatures with 1 494 cases were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 0.922 (95%CI: 0.905-0.937), 0.860 (95%CI: 0.818-0.896), 0.093 (95%CI: 0.048-0.182), and 15.400 (95%CI: 2.003-118.380), respectively. The DOR, area under SROC and Q index were 311.090 (95%CI: 95.841-1 009.800), 0.986 (95%CI: 0.974-0.998) and 0.949 (95%CI: 0.922-0.976), respectively. Deek's test indicates that no publication bias were found (P=0.140). Conclusion: LAMP is worth to be popularized in field tests and primary-level hospitals tests.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological and clinical features of 20 patients with neurobrucellosis (NB) . Methods: The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and treatment data of patients diagnosed with NB from 2010 to 2016 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Twelve (60%) patients reported the history of contact with infected animals and intake of raw milk product. The common manifestations included headache (85%, 17/20), fatigue (85%, 17/20), fever (80%, 16/20), weight loss (70%, 15/20), the signs included pathological reflection (70%, 15/20), decreased muscle strength(45%, 9/20). The mean time to diagnosis was 7.9 months. All patients were diagnosed by positive serum antibody against Brucella. Body fluid culture revealed positive blood Brucella in 5 (31.2%, 5/16) patients and positive cerebrospinal fluid in 3 (16.7%, 3/18) patients. The medication consisted of rifampicin and minocycline based regimens or combined with ceftriaxone, fluroquinolone, streptomycin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX). Ninety percent(18/20) patients obtained clinical improvement, whereas mild sequelae were observed in 5 patients. Conclusions: Clinical features of NB are heterogeneous. Carefully seek for epidemiological clues and early tests for Brucella may lead to well outcome. Combination therapy with two or more active antimicrobial agents is suggested.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of high fat on the expression of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1),α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC-T6 cells). METHODS HSC-T6 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with palmitic acid (PA) at a concentration of 300μmol/L for 24 hours, and the HSC-T6 cells in the control group were treated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) of the same volume for 24 hours; Western blot was used to measure the expression ofα-SMA and MMP-2. The HSC-T6 cells in the dose-effect group were treated with PA at concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 300, 500, and 1000μmol/L for 24 hours; the HSC-T6 cells in the time-effect group were treated with PA for 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours; in the control group, PA was replaced by BSA of the same volume; Western blot was used to measure the expression of HMGB1,α-SMA, and MMP-2. The HSC-T6 cells were treated with recombinant HMGB1 (rHMGB1) at concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 200, and 500 ng/ml for 48 hours, and in the control group, PA was replaced by phosphate buffer of the same volume. Western blot was used to measure the expression ofα-SMA and MMP-2. The HSC-T6 cells in the PA group were treated with PA at a concentration of 300μmol/L for 24 hours; the HSC-T6 cells in the PA+HMGB1-siRNA group were treated with PA at a concentration of 300μmol/L for 24 hours after HMGB1 in HSC-T6 cells was down-regulated; in the blank control group, PA was replaced by BSA of the same volume. Western blot was used to measure the expression of HMGB1,α-SMA, and MMP-2. One-way analysis of variance was applied for continuous data, and the t-test was applied for comparison between two groups. RESULTS (1) The expression ofα-SMA and MMP-2 increased significantly after HSC-T6 cells were treated with PA at a concentration of 300μmol/L for 24 hours (P< 0.05). (2) Compared with the HSC-T6 cells in the untreated group (0μmol/L), the HSC-T6 cells treated with different concentrations of PA showed significant increases in the expression of HMGB1 and MMP-2 (P< 0.01), as well as a significant increase in the expression ofα-SMA at concentrations of 200, 300, 500, and 1000μmol/L (P< 0.01); the HSC-T6 cells treated with PA at a concentration of 300μmol/L for different periods of time showed varying degrees of increase in the expression of HMGB1,α-SMA, and MMP-2, with significant increases at 16, 24, and 48 hours (P< 0.01). (3) Compared with the HSC-T6 cells in the untreated group (0 ng/ml), the HSC-T6 cells treated with rHMGB1 at concentrations of 100, 200, and 500 ng/ml for 48 hours showed significant increases in the expression ofα-SMA and MMP-2 (P< 0.05). (4) Compared with the HSC-T6 cells in the PA group, the HSC-T6 cells treated with PA+HMGB1-siRNA for 24 hours showed significant reductions in the expression of HMGB1,α-SMA, and MMP-2 (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS High fat can increase the expression ofα-SMA and MMP-2 through up-regulating the expression of HMGB1 in HSC-T6, and thus lead to the development of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the protective effects of Berberine (BBR) against non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Male 4-week-old C57BL/6J Apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice were divided into the following three groups, which were given different diets: Normal chow diet (SC group); high-fat high-cholesterol diet (HFHC group); and HFHC diet supplemented with BBR (BBR group). Serum biochemical indicators of hepatic function and histological liver tissue changes were evaluated. The expression of neutrophil elastase (NE) and genes involved in the inflammatory response was measured. ApoE-/- mice fed a HFHC diet for 12 weeks developed NASH, characterized by steatosis and liver inflammation. Body weight, and serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels were markedly reduced by BBR. BBR supplementation significantly lowered serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels in mice with HFHC diet-induced NASH, and significantly downregulated hepatic expression and activity of NE, whereas α1-antitrypsin (α1-AT) expression was significantly recovered by BBR (all P<0.05 vs. the HFHC group). Furthermore, treatment with BBR induced a significant reduction in the expression of key genes, including phospoinositide 3-kinase, nuclear factor-κB and interleukin-8, in the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) signaling pathway (all P<0.05 vs. the HFHC group). These results suggest that BBR alleviates NASH in ApoE-/- mice fed a HFHC diet. Restoration of the balance of NE and α1-AT levels, which in turn facilitate the inhibition of the CXCR4 signaling pathways, may be involved in the hepatoprotective effect of BBR. These results indicate that BBR may be a candidate therapeutic agent for the treatment of NASH.

Abstract
Albizzia julibrissin Durazz, a Chinese Medicine, is commonly used for its anti-anxiety effects. (−)-syringaresnol-4-O-β-d-apiofuranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (SAG) is the main ingredient of Albizzia julibrissin Durazz. The present study investigated the anxiolytic effect and potential mechanisms on the HPA axis and monoaminergic systems of SAG on acute restraint-stressed rats. The anxiolytic effect of SAG was examined through an open field test and an elevated plus maze test. The concentration of CRF, ACTH, and CORT in plasma was examined by an enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) kit while neurotransmitters in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of the brain were examined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). We show that repeated treatment with SAG (3.6 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly increased the number and time spent on the central entries in the open-field test when compared to the vehicle/stressed group. In the elevated plus maze test, 3.6 mg/kg SAG could increase the percentage of entries into and time spent on the open arms of the elevated plus maze. In addition, the concentration of CRF, ACTH, and CORT in plasma and neurotransmitters (NE, 5-HT, DA and their metabolites 5-HIAA, DOPAC, and HVA) in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of the brain were decreased after SAG treatment, as compared to the repeated acute restraint-stressed rats. These results suggest that SAG is a potential anti-anxiety drug candidate.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the characteristics of acute hepatitis B inpatients reported by the hepatitis B surveillance pilot points and to estimate the consistency between the diagnosed and reported types of hepatitis B by the clinicians involved. Methods: Data related to acute hepatitis B was from the NNDRS and the characteristics of acute hepatitis B were classified by querying Hospital Information System. We recorded the results based on clinical diagnosis and analyzed the consistency between the reported and diagnosed types that the clinicians made, on hepatitis B. Results: A total of 179 patients were included in this study with all of them as acute hepatitis B reported through NNDRS in 2015-2016. In terms of the durations of disease, among the 179 cases who were HBsAg positive, 32.40% (58/179) of them exceeding 6 months, 2.79% (5/179) within 6 months and 64.80% (116/179) tested the first time or never. Among the 179 cases who claimed having the history of hepatitis, 33.52% (60/179) of them identified as having hepatitis B, 1.12% (2/179) were hepatitis A, C or E, 41.34% (74/179) did not have the signs on hepatitis, while the rest 24.02% (43/179) did not know the situation. Only 79.89% (143/179) of the patients showed the symptoms or signs of hepatitis, but the rest 20.11% (36/179) did not. Among the 179 reported acute hepatitis patients, 67 of them were diagnosed as acute hepatitis B while 112 cases were as non-acute hepatitis B. The consistent rate of acute hepatitis B was 37.43% (67/179). Among the 112 cases that were diagnosed as non-acute hepatitis B, proportions of chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis were 49.11%(55/112) and 16.07%(18/112) respectively. Conclusion: Consistency between the reported type of acute hepatitis B inpatients and the types diagnosed by clinicians was poor. Our results suggested that clinicians should make the accurate diagnosis at first place and then report to the Network in accordance with the clinical diagnosis classification criterfia, set by the government.

Abstract
Objective: To improve the diagnostic accuracy of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) by analyzing its limitations in diagnosing partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD). Method: This was a retrospective analysis of PAPVD patients seen at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from October 1 2006 to October 1 2016. The echocardiographic data were compared to findings on multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT), cardiac catheterization or surgery. The echocardiography machines used were Philip IE33, GE Vivid 7 and Vivid i with frequency ranging from 5.0 MHz to 7.5 MHz. The cardiac structure was analyzed according to Van Praagh segments. Result: A total of 43 cases of PAPVD were enrolled, male∶ female ratio 20∶23 with average age (27.9±21.4) months. Among them, 3 cases were simple PAPVD and 40 cases had other associated congenital heart diseases. TTE was successful in diagnosing 29 cases (67%) while 14 cases were missed. The diagnostic rate for right pulmonary vein drainage into superior vena cava, right atrium, inferior vena cava were 5/10, 17/20, and 3/5 respectively while left pulmonary vein drainage into left innominate vein was only 1/4. Added TTE images to re-exam the 9 of the 14 missed cases, 5 cases of abnormal drainage from right superior pulmonary vein were diagnosed, while 4 cases of drainage from right lower or left pulmonary vein were only picked up by indirect signs. Conclusion: The distance of the pulmonary veins from the routine ultrasound view and the possibility of branch number variation may limit the accuracy of TTE in diagnosing PAPVD, especially for drainage from right lower and left pulmonary vein. But TTE is still the preferred diagnostic method. The diagnostic rate could be increased by paying special attention to non-routine views including the suprasternal fossa, the right parasternal and subcostal area.

Abstract
Objective: Undiagnosed critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) was assessed before discharge from maternity hospital.Basic information was provided for screening CCHD in the early neonatal stage.Chi-squared test was used for comparison of categorical variables(detection rate of different types of CCHD). Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in neonates with CCHD who were admitted to Children's Hospital of Fudan University between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2015. For comparing with the previously reported undiagnosed rate of CCHD at discharge, CCHD was defined as all duct dependent congenital heart disease (DDCHD) and any cyanotic CHD that required early surgery. Result: A total of 1 036 infants with CCHD were included. The prenatal detection rate of CCHD was 14.04%(122/869). As a whole, 52.51% (544/1 036) of CCHD cases were undiagnosed at discharge, and 14.09%(146/1 036)were still missed after 6-week examination. The diagnoses most likely to be unrecognized at discharge included critical coarctation of the aorta (COA) (75.00%), total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (61.54%), pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricle septal defect (VSD) (61.45%), single ventricle (SV) (60.10%) and critical aortic stenosis (52.94%). Among newborns diagnosed prior to discharge, 54.88% (270/492) due to symptom or prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis, 45.12% (222/492) due to abnormal findings in routine examination. Among asymptomatic CCHD cases without prenatal diagnosis, 71.02% (544/766) were undiagnosed and the most common delayed diagnosis was SV (82.78%), interrupted aortic arch (81.82%), transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (79.63%), PA/VSD (79.07%), and critical COA (78.57%). Newborns with DDC were more likely to develop symptoms within the first few days after birth, in comparison with non-DDC cases. However, their detection rates were close to each other. Conclusion: The rate of misdiagnosis of CCHD before discharge from maternity hospitals is high in China, indicates the importance of implementation of CCHD screening in Chinese maternity hospitals, so as to give timely diagnosis and proper treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify and verify proteins that interact and collaborate with ATF3 in inhibiting hepatocarcinogenesis. METHODS Immunoprecipitation (IP), co-IP and protein spectrum analysis were used to identify the protein which interacted with ATF3 in HepG2. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) were used to detect the expression pattern of ATF3 and its candidate interacting proteins in liver tissue. RESULTS The protein expression differences were detected by IP in two HepG2 groups. The experimental group was infected by lentiviral vector with ATF3 over-expression and the control group was infected by mock-vehicle. Several protein bands with expression diversity were analyzed by protein spectrum, which revealed several candidate proteins that may be related with ATF3. Peptide sequences were analyzed by Mascot software and NCBI database. Combined with the existing literature and our study results, Gelsolin (GSN) was identified as a protein closely interacting with ATF3 and confirmed by co-IP, IHC and WB. CONCLUSIONS GSN is identified and verified as an interacting protein with ATF3. ATF3 may function as a suppressor of liver cancer via protein-protein interactions with Gelsolin.

Abstract
The current study aims to explore how the gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agent (GBCA) Omniscan® enhanced cell viability of murine fibroblasts. The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that Omniscan® can precipitate in cell culture media and deposit on cell membranes. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of Gd and phosphates in the agglomerated particles. By filtering the Omniscan®-containing medium through a 220 nm filter, it can be clearly found that the increased cell viability should be mainly attributed to the insoluble species of gadolinium rather than to chelated gadolinium. Moreover, the effects of other gadolinium-based contrast agents, Magnevist® and Dotarem®, were compared with that of Omniscan®. It is noted that the three contrast agents differed in their ability to induce cell viability, which is possibly ascribed to the different chemical stabilities of gadolinium chelates as demonstrated by the attenuation in cell growth upon the addition of excess ligands to the compounds. The results of flow cytometry analysis also showed that Omniscan® can promote cell growth via an increase in the S-phase cell population as evidenced by the elevated levels of cell cycle associated proteins cyclin D, cyclin A and the phosphorylated Rb protein. Furthermore, our results revealed that integrin-mediated signaling may play an important role in both Omniscan® and Magnevist®-enhanced focal adhesion formation since the blockade of integrins decreased the level of ERK phosphorylation induced by the two GBCAs. Taken together, these data suggested that in situ gadolinium phosphate precipitation formation mediated Omniscan®-promoted fibroblast survival, which is similar to that of gadolinium chloride. It was demonstrated that the application of GBCAs with more stable thermodynamic stability may cause less dissociation of the gadolinium ion and thus resulted in less precipitation, finally leading to lower occurrence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. The obtained results would also be helpful for the development of safe gadolinium-based contrast agents.
