Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of TWIK-related acid-sensitive potassium channels TASK-1 and TASK-3 in the mechanism of asthma combined with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in mice. METHOD C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group (NS-RA), asthma group (OVA-RA), OSA group (NS-IH), and asthma combined with OSA group (OVA-IH). After monitoring lung function in each group, the expression levels of TASK-1 and TASK-3 mRNA and protein in lung tissues were measured, and the correlation between the changes of both and lung function was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 64 male mice were studied. Penh, serum IgE concentrations, and the percentage of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were higher in OVA-RA and OVA-IH mice compared with NS-RA (P < 0.05),while the above indexes were slightly elevated in NS-IH mice compared with NS-RA (P > 0.05), where the Penh and the percentage of eosinophils in BALF was higher in OVA-IH mice than NS-IH (P < 0.05).Increased TASK-3 mRNA expression (P < 0.05) as well as TASK-1 and TASK-3 protein expression (P > 0.05) in lung tissues of OVA-RA and NS-IH mice compared with NS-RA, and TASK-3 mRNA expression was slightly more in the OVA-IH group compared with NS-RA (P > 0.05), but less compared with OVA-RA (P < 0.05) or NS-IH (P > 0.05), while TASK-1 and TASK-3 protein expression was increased in the OVA-IH group compared with the remaining three groups, and TASK-3 protein expression was associated with lung function impairment was positively correlated with the degree of lung function impairment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Task-1 and Task-3 may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma with OSA by affecting lung function.

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
Previous studies demonstrated that phosphatases play a pivotal role in modulating inflammation-associated signal transduction, particularly in the context of heat shock, where Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) appears to have a central role. Recently, Human Antigen R (HuR) has also been identified as a factor that enhances stress-response protein MKP-1 levels. Consequently, we have directed our interest towards elucidating the mechanisms by which heat shock induces MKP-1 mRNA stabilization, dependent on HuR via the p38 MAPK Signaling Cascade. In this study, we subjected Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast (Mef) cells to heat shock treatment, resulting in a potent stabilization MKP-1 mRNA. The RNA-binding protein HuR, known to influence mRNA, was observed to bind to the MKP-1 AU-rich 3 ´untranslated region. Transfection of p38 wild-type Mef cells with a flag-HuR plasmid resulted in a significant increase in MKP-1 mRNA stability. Interestingly, transfection of the siRNA for HuR into Mef cells resulted in diminished MKP-1 mRNA stability following heat shock, inhibition of p38 MAPK activity effectively curtailed heat shock-mediated MKP-1 mRNA stability. Immunofluorescence analyses further revealed that the translocation of HuR was contingent on p38 MAPK Signaling Cascade. Collectively, these findings underscore the regulatory role of heat shock in MKP-1 gene expression at posttranscriptional levels. The mechanisms underlying the observed increased MKP-1 mRNA stability are shown to be partially dependent on HuR through the p38 MAPK Signaling Cascade.

Abstract
Analyzing the influence of the bed allocation and utilization efficiency in healthcare institutions on the isolation proportion of Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) to provide data to support prevention and control of MDROs. In this study, the provincial panel data from 2014 to 2020 in China on health resource indicators, including the number of beds per 1,000 population, hospital bed utilization rate, and average hospital stay from 2014 to 2020 in China were used to analyze the relationship between bed allocation or utilization efficiency and MDROs by the panel data quantile regression model. It was shown that the number of beds per 1,000 population had a negative effect on the isolation proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, and cefotaxime or ceftriaxone resistant Escherichia coli (regression coefficient < 0, P < 0.05). The utilization rate of hospital bed had a positive effect on the isolation proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, cefotaxime or ceftriaxone resistant Escherichia coli, carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, cefotaxime or ceftriaxone resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (regression coefficient > 0, P < 0.05). The average hospital stay had a positive effect on the isolation proportion for several antibiotic-resistant organisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, cefotaxime or ceftriaxone resistant Escherichia coli, carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli, cefotaxime or ceftriaxone resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (regression coefficient > 0, P < 0.05). Bed allocation and utilization efficiency in healthcare institutions may affect the isolation proportion of MDROs in varying degrees.

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.

Abstract
The semiconductor white laser light source is used as a light source for underwater illumination. The required standard color temperature of white light is obtained at the underwater target surface. We studied the power compensation of a synthetic white laser source and its application to underwater illumination. First, the power ratios of the red (638 nm), green (520 nm), and blue (450 nm) lasers at a color temperature of 6500 K were obtained by using chromaticity theory. Next, the three-color and synthetic white laser parameters were obtained with transmission distance, according to the exponential attenuation characteristics of different light in clear water and seawater medium. The three-color laser power at the output was compensated, and the underwater target illumination surface reached the standard 6500 K color temperature of the white laser, improving the illumination. Finally, an experimental system for underwater white laser illumination based on power compensation was established. The errors between experimental and theoretical results of color temperature and illuminance are no more than 0.43% and 22.15%. This power-compensated synthetic white laser light source has both the advantages of long-range underwater detection and the spectral advantages of LED white light sources. The white laser light source meets specific requirements by compensating for power and optimizing white light characteristics for underwater lighting applications.

Abstract
Slow dynamics in supercooled and glassy liquids is an important research topic in soft matter physics. Compared to the traditionally focused one-component systems, glassy dynamics in mixture systems adds in a rich set of new complexities, which are fundamentally interesting and also relevant for many technological applications. In this paper, we apply the recently developed self-consistent cooperative hopping theory (SCCHT) to systematically investigate the effects of the size ratio, composition and interparticle interactions on the cooperative activated hopping dynamics of matrix (in larger size) and penetrant (in smaller size) particles in varied binary sphere mixture model systems, with a specific focus on ultrahigh mixture packing fractions that mimic the deeply supercooled glass transition conditions for molecular/polymeric mixture materials. Analysis shows that in these high activation barrier cases, the long-range elastic distortion associated with a matrix particle hopping over its cage confinement always generates an elastic barrier of a nonnegligible magnitude, although the ratio between the elastic barrier and local barrier contribution is sensitively dependent on all three mixture-specific system factors considered in this work. SCCHT predicts two general scenarios of penetrant-matrix cooperative activated hopping dynamics: matrix/penetrant co-hopping (regime 1) or the penetrant mean barrier hopping time shorter than that of the matrix (regime 2). Increasing the penetrant-to-matrix size ratio or the penetrant-matrix cross-attraction strength is found to universally enlarge the composition window of regime 1. Diverse dynamical properties characterising different aspects of the cooperative activated hopping process, including the penetrant and matrix transient localization lengths, penetrant and matrix hopping jump distances, different types of local and elastic activated barriers, and matrix long-time diffusivity, relaxation time and dynamic fragility are quantitatively studied against a wide range of variations over the three system factors. Of particular interest is the universal "anti-plasticization" phenomenon achievable for sufficiently strong cross-attractive interactions. The prospects this work opens for the exploration of a wide variety of polymer-based mixture materials are briefly discussed at the end.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a nested recombinant enzyme-assisted polymerase chain reaction (RAP) technique combined with recombined mannose-binding lectin protein (M1 protein)-magnetic beads enrichment for the detection of Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Candida tropicalis (C. tropicalis) in blood samples for the early diagnosis of candidemia albicans and candidiemia tropicalis. 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
Hyperglycemia-induced myelopoiesis and atherosclerotic progression occur in mice with type I diabetes. However, less is known about the effects of metabolites on myelopoesis in type 2 diabetes. Here, we use fluorescence-activated cell sorting to analyze the proliferation of granulocyte/monocyte progenitors (GMP) in db/db mice. Using targeted metabolomics, we identify an increase in inosine monophosphate (IMP) in GMP cells of 24-week-old mice. We show that IMP treatment stimulates cKit expression, ribosomal S6 activation, GMP proliferation, and Gr-1+ granulocyte production in vitro. IMP activates pAkt in non-GMP cells. In vivo, using an established murine acute pancreatitis (AP) model, administration of IMP-treated bone marrow cells enhances the severity of AP. This effect is abolished in the presence of a pAkt inhibitor. Targeted metabolomics show that plasma levels of guanosine monophosphate are significantly higher in diabetic patients with AP. These findings provid a potential therapeutic target for the control of vascular complications in diabetes. Metabolomics analysis reveals that inosine monophosphate, a purine metabolite, promotes myelopoiesis and contributes to severe acute pancreatitis in db/db mice.

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
Skin and soft tissue expansion can provide skin tissue similar to the recipient area in color and texture, which is one of the ideal methods in the repair of superficial defects. However, due to the long treatment cycle and relatively high complications rate in pediatric patients, expansion still faces many challenges. Based on the clinical practice and the current progress in skin and soft tissue expansion, this paper briefly discusses the change of skin after expansion, and the application, prevention and treatment of complications in the application of expansion in pediatric patients, aiming to provide reference for expansion in pediatric patients.

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 investigate whether Lingbao Huxin Pill (LBHX) protects against acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at the infarct border zone (IBZ) of myocardial tissue by regulating apoptosis and inflammation through the sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-mediated forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) and nuclear factor-κ B (NF-κ B) signaling pathways. METHODS Six-week-old Wistar rats with normal diet were randomized into the sham, the model, Betaloc (0.9 mg/kg daily), LBHX-L (0.45 mg/kg daily), LBHX-M (0.9 mg/kg daily), LBHX-H (1.8 mg/kg daily), and LBHX+EX527 (0.9 mg/kg daily) groups according to the method of random number table, 13 in each group. In this study, left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) ligation was performed to induce an AMI model in rats. The myocardial infarction area was examined using a 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride solution staining assay. A TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay was conducted to assess cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the IBZ. The histopathology of myocardial tissue at the IBZ was assessed with Heidenhain, Masson and hematoxylineosin (HE) staining assays. The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1 β, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). The mRNA expressions of SIRT1 and FOXO1 were detected by real-time qPCR (RT-qPCR). The protein expressions of SIRT1, FOXO1, SOD2, BAX and NF- κ B p65 were detected by Western blot analysis. RESULTS The ligation of the LADCA successfully induced an AMI model. The LBHX pretreatment reduced the infarct size in the AMI rats (P<0.01). The TUNEL assay revealed that LBHX inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis at the IBZ. Further, the histological examination showed that the LBHX pretreatment decreased the ischemic area of myocardial tissue (P<0.05), myocardial interstitial collagen deposition (P<0.05) and inflammation at the IBZ. The ELISA results indicated that LBHX decreased the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in the AMI rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Furthermore, Western blot analysis revealed that the LBHX pretreatment upregulated the protein levels of SIRT1, FOXO1 and SOD2 (P<0.05) and downregulated NF- κ B p65 and BAX expressions (P<0.05). The RT-qPCR results showed that LBHX increased the SIRT1 mRNA and FOXO1 mRNA levels (P<0.05). These protective effects, including inhibiting apoptosis and alleviating inflammation in the IBZ, were partially abolished by EX527, an inhibitor of SIRT1. CONCLUSION LBHX could protect against AMI by suppressing apoptosis and inflammation in AMI rats and the SIRT1-mediated FOXO1 and NF- κ B signaling pathways were involved in the cardioprotection effect of LBHX.

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
OBJECTIVE To investigate the combined anti-inflammatory effect of activating blood circulation and detoxifying Chinese medicines in unstable angina (UA) patients. METHODS This study was an open-labeled, randomized controlled trial conducted in 5 centers in Beijing. A total of 154 patients were randomized into two groups at a 1:1 ratio by random numbers. Based on the conventional treatment, patients in the activating blood circulation (ABC) group were treated with Guanxin Danshen Droping Pill (, 0.4 g, thrice daily), and patients in the activating blood circulation and detoxifying (ABCD) group were treated with Guanxin Danshen Droping Pill (0.4 g, thrice daily) and Andrographis tablet (0.2 g, thrice daily) for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the serum level of high sensitive C reaction protein (hs-CRP), and the secondary outcome index included the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), thrombomodulin (TM), the score of angina pectoris, the score of blood stasis syndrome, and the score of Chinese medicine symptoms, observed at week 0 and week 4. RESULTS A total of 144 patients completed the trial (ABC group, n=70; ABCD group, n=74). There were no significant differences in the clinical baseline characteristics between the two groups. When compared with the ABC group, ABCD group showed better performance in reducing the level of inflammatory factors, especially hs-CRP (P<0.05), IL-6 (P<0.01) and TNF-α (P<0.01). In term of clinical symptoms, ABCD group played a better role in improving the scores of angina pectoris and blood stasis syndrome than ABC group (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The combination of Guanxin Danshen Dropping Pill and Andrographis tablet exert significant anti-inflammatory effect on UA patients, which is superior to single Guanxin Danshen Dropping Pill.

Abstract
The magnetic velocity induction system (MAVIS) is commonly used for velocimetry in shock compression experiment. Due to some discrepancies, the variation in induced voltage amplitude is ambiguous, which makes the simulation of this experiment particularly significant. In this work, we have designed a MAVIS, which was used to determine the induced voltage amplitude and flyer velocity. We built a three-dimensional model of MAVIS and performed the simulations using the Analysis System Electromagnetics Suite. Additionally, we performed some experiments and compared the results of both studies on the basis of flyer thickness, radius, and velocity. It was established that the flyer velocity influenced the induced electromotive force (EMF) in the pick-up coils. The increase in flyer radius led to the increase in the induced EMF. The cut-off radius for flyers was also discussed in detail by computing the lowest induced EMFs at discrete flyer velocities and radii. Due to the eddy current loss, experimental data laid slightly lower than simulations. The simulation data have proved its accuracy within the experimental error range. Thus, it can be applied as an economical framework to calculate projectile velocity precisely, regardless of its geometry, and to estimate the trigger level of the oscilloscope before performing the experiments. In order to enhance the quality of induced voltage, we also proposed a new design consisting of three pick-up coils. This redesigned MAVIS contributed significantly in signal narrowing as well as controlled the loss in amplitude peaks that reduced the experimental uncertainty in flyer velocity <0.4%.

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
Background: Leptospira is the causative agent of leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease of global importance. To have a better understanding on the host species of Leptospira, we investigated the prevalence of Leptospira species in hedgehogs in Central China. Materials and Methods: Hedgehogs were captured in Hubei Province, China in May and October, 2018. Total DNA was extracted from the kidney tissues of hedgehogs for determining the Leptospira species by PCR amplification of the rrs2, secY, and flaB genes with genus-specific primers. Results: PCR amplification indicated that the positive rate of hedgehogs to the rrs2, secY, and flaB genes were 19.5% (8/41), 12.2% (5/41), and 9.8% (4/41), respectively. The homology of the partial sequence of rrs2, secY, and flaB genes were 99.0-100% among the Leptospira strains from hedgehogs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Leptospira species detected in this study clustered together with Leptospira interrogans. Conclusions: We detected L. interrogans from hedgehogs in Central China, suggesting hedgehogs are the hosts of L. interrogans.

Abstract
Objective: Many studies have explored the effects of individual foods or nutrients on fluorosis, but no studies have focused on dietary patterns. This study examined the relationship between dietary patterns and coal-burning fluorosis in Guizhou, China. Methods: This 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted in Zhijin County of Guizhou province with a sample size of 200 cases of fluorosis and 200 age and gender matched controls. Habitual dietary intake was assessed by face-to-face interviews, using a validated 75-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and various covariates using structured questionnaires. The dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis. Results: The factor analysis identified three major dietary patterns which were labeled healthy, easy-to-roast and high protein. After adjusting for various confounding factors, a decreased risk for fluorosis was observed in the highest tertile of the healthy dietary pattern relative to the lowest tertile (OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.27–0.84, P-trend = 0.003) and a positive association was observed between the easy-to-roast dietary pattern and fluorosis risk (OR = 2.05, 95% CI = 1.15–3.66), with a significant linear trend (P = 0.017). We did not find an association between fluorosis risk and the high protein dietary pattern. The relationships remained significant when the analyses were stratified by gender and fluorosis subtypes. Conclusion: The healthy dietary pattern may lower coal-burning fluorosis risk; in contrast, the easy-to-roast dietary pattern significantly increases the risk of coal-burning fluorosis.

Abstract
Prethrombotic status (PTS) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) increases the risk of coronary thrombosis. Accumulating evidences have indicated that micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) may serve as promising biomarkers for SCAD patients with PTS. The present study aimed to identify the miRNA signature in SCAD patients with PTS and evaluated their diagnostic significance. In the screening phase, 32 differently expressed miRNAs (DEMs) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were detected in 35 SCAD patients compared with 5 healthy controls by microarray. MiRNA-gene network analysis was then performed, and 4 DEMs were selected for validation with reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) test in an independent cohort comprising 79 SCAD patients and 19 healthy controls. Compared with healthy controls, RT-qPCR test verified the upregulations of miR-34a-5p, miR-432-5p, and miR-370-3p detected by microarray; while the upregulation of miR-495-3p measured by RT-qPCR was not consistent with its low expression detected by microarray. Only miR-34a-5p and miR-495-3p were significantly upregulated in the PTS group compared with the non-PTS group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05). Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that PBMCs-derived miR-34a-5p and miR-495-3p may discriminate PTS with the areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.780 (confidence interval [CI]95% = 0.673-0.866) and 0.712 (CI95% = 0.599-0.808), respectively. The combination of miR-34a-5p and fibrinogen (FIB, a traditional biomarker for PTS) improved AUC to 0.885 (CI95% = 0.793-0.946) and showed added predictive ability compared with FIB, with an integrated discrimination improvement of 0.201 (p < 0.01). Therefore, the combination of miR-34a-5p and FIB may serve as an efficient tool for distinguishing PTS in SCAD patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in ischemic rats underwent cardiac shock therapy. Methods: Adult male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats weighing 220-250 g were used to establish a heart failure model by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. 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
Inflammatory cells in atherosclerotic plaque exclusively originate from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). In this study, we investigated whether circulating HSPCs frequency related to coronary stenosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Coronary angiography was performed in 468 participants who were recruited at Cardiology Centre in LuHe Hospital from March 2016 to May 2017. Among these subjects, 344 underwent echocardiography. Mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood were stained with an antibody cocktail containing anti-human CD34, anti-human lineage, anti-human CD38, and anti-human CD45RA. Lineage-CD38-CD45RAdimCD34+HSPCs were quantified by flow cytometry. CHD was defined as coronary stenosis ≥50% and the extent of CHD was further categorised by coronary stenosis ≥70%. A p < 0.0031 was regarded statistically significant by the Bonferroni correction. Circulating HSPCs frequency was 1.8-fold higher in CHD patients than non-CHD participants (p = 0.047). Multivariate-adjusted logistic analysis demonstrated that HSPCs was the only marker that was associated with the odds ratio of having mild vs. severe coronary stenosis (2.08 (95% CI, 1.35-3.21), p = 0.0009). Left ventricular ejection fraction was inversely correlated with HSPCs frequency and CRP in CHD patients (p < 0.05 for both). In conclusion, HSPCs frequency in circulation is intimately related to coronary stenoses in CHD patients.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that although the HSPC frequency in bone marrow cells (BMC) was comparable between β2-/- and β2+/+ mice, transplantation of β2-/- BMC into lethally irradiated CD45.1 recipient resulted in more myeloid cell production than β2+/+ BMC. The objective of this study is to address if integrin β2 deficiency skews granulocyte/macrophage progenitor (GMP) proliferation. FACS analysis demonstrated that GMP frequency and cell number were higher and megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitor frequency and cell number were lower in β2-/- mice than β2+/+ mice. However, the common myeloid progenitors (CMP) frequency and cell number were similar between the two groups. The increased GMP number was due to GMP proliferation as evidenced by the percentage of BrdU-incorporating GMP. Whole genome transcriptome analysis identified increased FcεRIα expression in β2-/- CMP compared to β2+/+ CMP. FcεRIα expression on β2-/- GMP was detected increased in β2-/- mice by qRT-PCR and FACS. Although transplantation of FcεRIαhi GMP or FcεRIαlo GMP into lethally irradiated CD45.1 recipient resulted in comparable myeloid cell production, transplantation of β2 deficient FcεRIαhi GMP generated more myeloid cells than β2+/+ FcεRIαhi GMP. GATA2 expression was increased in β2-/- GMP. Using a luciferase reporter assay, we demonstrated that mutation of the GATA2 binding site in the FcεRIα promoter region diminished FcεRIα transcription. In vitro, the addition of IgE, the ligand of FcεRIα, promoted GMP expansion, which was abrogated by inhibition of JNK phosphorylation. Integrin β2 deficiency promoted GMP proliferation and myeloid cell production, which was mediated via FcεRIα/IgE-induced JNK phosphorylation in GMP. Stem Cells 2019;37:430-440.

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
BACKGROUND High-pressure processing is gaining popularity in the food industry. However, its effect on the Maillard reaction during high-pressure-assisted pasteurization and sterilization is not well documented. This study aimed to investigate the effects of high hydrostatic pressure on the Maillard reaction during these processes using amino acid (lysine or arginine)-sugar (glucose or fructose) solution models. RESULTS High pressure retarded the intermediate and final stages of the Maillard reaction in the lysine-sugar model. For the lysine-glucose model, the degradation rate of Amadori compounds was decelerated, while acceleration was observed in the arginine-sugar model. Increased temperature not only accelerated the Maillard reaction over time but also formed fluorescent compounds with different emission wavelengths. Lysine reacted with the sugars more readily than arginine under the same conditions. In addition, it was easier for lysine to react with glucose, whereas arginine reacted more readily with fructose under high pressure. CONCLUSION High pressure exerts different effects on lysine-sugar and arginine-sugar models. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

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
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.
