Abstract
For patients with cardiovascular disease, using the antidepressant escitalopram may lead to unexpected adverse events. Here, a rare repeated sinus bradycardia event due to escitalopram is first reported. In an 82-year-old female patient with cardiac dysfunction using digoxin, tachycardia (average heart rate of 93 beats/min) was demonstrated by electrocardiogram (ECG). She began to take escitalopram and lorazepam due to depression, but sinus bradycardia (93.7% heart rate was <60 beats/min) and sinus arrest were first detected after 3 months. Its proportion decreased to 0.1% after discontinuation of digoxin and escitalopram for 1 day, and the rhythm returned to normal 2 weeks later. After 2 months, escitalopram was prescribed again in combination with quetiapine; then, 17.1% heart rate was <60 beats/min. After escitalopram and quetiapine withdrawal, the ECG showed the heart rhythm had normalized again. No other drug changes were made during these periods. Escitalopram was deemed to be a highly possible cause of sinus bradycardia according to its Naranjo's Algorithm score. Furthermore, literature on escitalopram-mediated cardiovascular adverse events was reviewed and analyzed. Empirically, escitalopram should be discontinued immediately if iatrogenic causes cannot be ruled out. Furthermore, ECG monitoring in escitalopram-related cardiovascular adverse events is highlighted, especially in patients receiving certain drug classes simultaneously (i.e., sinoatrial node inhibitors, antipsychotics).

Abstract
Objective: To explore and establish the preparation system of human intestinal fluid transplantation (HIFT) and HIFT capsule, and to preliminarily apply it to clinic. Methods: Strict standards for donor screening and management were established. The nasojejunal tube was catheterized into the distal jejunum, and then it was connected with an improved disposable sterile negative pressure collection device for the collection of human intestinal fluid. After that, it was prepared into capsules by filtering, adding 10% glycerin protectant and freeze-drying method. The amount of living bacteria was used as the standard of therapeutic dose. The living bacteria amount in fluid is ≥ 5.0×108 /mL and the living bacteria proportion is ≥ 83%; the living bacteria amount in powder is ≥ 2.0×106 /g and the living bacteria proportion is ≥ 81%; The observational indicators included: (1) the basic information of the donor, the amount of living bacteria in the HIF and powder. (2) Preliminary analysis of the treatment for ASD, which combined HIFT capsule with standard FMT capsule, from February to December 2021 (Clinical trial Registration Number: ChiCTR2100043929). Evaluation criteria: Trypan blue staining method was used to detect the living bacteria amount in fluid and powder. The Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) were used to evaluate the efficacy. Results: Compared with the parent donor, the standard donor was younger [(25.4±0.9) y vs. (30.7±3.2) y, t=-19.097, P=0.001] and had a lower body mass index [(19.7±0.5) kg/m2 vs. (20.8±1.3) kg/m2, t=-8.726, P=0.001], more in the living bacteria amount in powder [(7.47±1.52)×106/g vs. (5.03±1.38)×106/g, t=11.331, P=0.031], Chao index (205.4±6.8 vs. 194.2±7.2, t=10.415, P=0.001), and Shannon index (3.25±0.14 vs 2.72±0.27, t=19.465, P=0.001). The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in gender, drainage volume and total number of bacterial liquid colonies between the two groups (all P>0.05). Both the standard donor and the parent donor met the donor screening criteria, and the preparation fluid and powder met the treatment criteria. Eight patients received the treatment of HIFT combined with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Preliminary statistical results showed that HIFT combined with FMT improved ABC and CARS at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th months. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). No severe adverse reaction occurred. Conclusion: Based on the previous research on FMT preparation system and the clinical technology in our center, this study developed a high standard HIFT preparation system, and explored the clinical study of HIFT combined with FMT, in order to provide an innovative therapy for the treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Several studies have reported that hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is mediated by macrophages and that the B7x (B7-H4, VTCN-1) protein plays an important role in immune regulation in HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC). However, the relationship among HBV, macrophages, and B7x has not been studied. In this study, HBV-infected mouse model and coculture of HBV cell lines and macrophages were used to observe the changes in macrophages and the role of B7x after HBV infection. The expression of HBV markers (HBeAg, HBsAg), negative regulator of immunity (B7x), T-helper 17 (Th17)/T-regulatory (Treg)-related cytokines, and macrophage markers, as well as changes in the apoptosis and cell cycle of macrophages were analyzed through reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot, and flow cytometry. The expression of HBsAg, HBeAg, and B7x increased and the levels of macrophage surface marker and Treg cells secrete related cytokines (IL-10 and TGF-β) were altered after HBV infection both in vivo and in vitro. Apoptosis of macrophages increased, and cell cycle arrest occurred in vitro. These effects, except those in the cell cycle, were reversed when B7x was knocked down. Thus, HBV infection can promote the expression of B7x, which in turn regulates the Th17/Treg balance and affects the expression of HBsAg and HBeAg. The mechanism used by B7x likely involves the promotion of macrophage polarization and apoptosis. These results suggest that B7x is a novel target for HBV immunotherapy.

Abstract
Aloperine, a natural alkaloid isolated from the Chinese traditional herb Sophora alopecuroides, is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent with anti-inflammatory activity. Here, we found that aloperine effectively inhibited hepatitis C virus (HCV) propagation in Huh7.5 cells and primary human hepatocytes without cytotoxicity, and it blocked HCV cell-to-cell viral transmission. The antiviral mechanism evidence demonstrated that aloperine inhibits HCV internalisation from endocytosis to the membrane fusion process, and the target may be associated with host factors. Aloperine additively inhibited HCV propagation with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and was effective against HCV variants resistant to known DAAs. Therefore, aloperine might be a natural lead compound for the development of innovative antivirals, and the combined use of aloperine with DAAs might contribute to eliminating liver diseases caused by HCV infection.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent reproductive disorders in women worldwide. Despite rigorous research, the exact molecular mechanism that governs PCOS pathogenesis remains unclear. To investigate the potential roles of circular RNAs (circRNAs), this study sequenced ribosomal RNA-depleted total RNA from exosomes of follicle fluids obtained from PCOS patients using non-PCOS samples as controls. Bioinformatic analysis identified 167 upregulated and 245 downregulated circRNAs from a total of 16,771 detected candidates. Functional analysis suggests that pathways related to bacterial infection, associated chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress could be targeted by the differential circRNAs in PCOS patients. The obtained sequencing results were further validated by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and a circRNA-microRNA interaction network was constructed. The obtained results provide a valuable addition to the published studies on the mechanism of PCOS pathogenesis by revealing a wide variety of new circRNAs, miRNA, and gene targets that merit further investigation.

Abstract
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists play important regulatory roles in bile acid, lipid and glucose metabolism in vitro and in vivo. Thus, FXR agonists exhibit potential therapeutic effects on metabolism-related diseases that are associated with extrahepatic manifestations induced by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study investigated the effect and mechanism of FXR agonist GW4064 against HCV in vitro to explore the potential application of FXR agonists. Results showed that GW4064 and other FXR agonists have potent antiviral activity against HCV in Huh7.5 cells. GW4064 down-regulated the expression of scavenger receptor class B type I protein via FXR and thereby indirectly inhibited HCV entry into cells, leading to interruption of HCV life cycle. GW4064 also exhibited synergistic anti-HCV effect with known direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) used in the clinic and remained sensitive to DAA-resistant HCV mutations. Therefore, FXR agonists are also a kind of antiviral agent, and might be helpful in treatment of HCV-induced hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations.

Abstract
Background To develop the clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of sepsis with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy alone or TCM combined with antibiotics. Methods The methods and process for developing the international clinical practice guidelines were fully consulted between a group of doctors. A total of 25 experts from 14 units were involved in the development of this guideline. The major clinical questions that needed to be solved were raised first, and the best available evidence to solve them was researched. Finally, according to the principle set by the GRADE system, the available evidence was graded with levels ranging from high to low. This formed the recommendation strengths, which included strong recommendation and weak recommendation, or an expert consensus recommendation. Results The guideline identified the terms and definition for sepsis. For example, it identified its epidemiological characters, the advantages of TCM treatment on sepsis, the diagnosis and its features, the complications, and its rehabilitation and health maintenance. The guideline has put forward 14 recommendations, among which 4 were strong recommendations and 6 were weak recommendations, in addition to 4 expert consensus recommendations. Conclusions The methods and processes for developing international clinical practice guidelines were fully consulted under the guide of relevant laws and regulations, and relevant technical documents. Based on the best existing evidence, and combined with the characteristics of TCM and the clinical realities, we developed Clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of sepsis with TCM therapy alone or TCM combined with antibiotics, with full reference to the experts' experience and patients' preferences.

Abstract
Treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) cures most patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the real world. However, some patients, especially those with the underlying advanced liver disease, have a limited reduction of liver injury after achieving a sustained viral response (SVR). Bicyclol was widely used in clinics for the treatment of a variety of liver injuries but with an unknown mechanism for the treatment of hepatitis C. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of bicyclol in HCV-infected hepatocytes and further confirmed the putative results in a mouse hepatitis model induced by the coinjection of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly (I:C)] and D-galactosamine (D-GalN). The results showed that the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and the subsequent increase of inflammatory factors were directly induced by HCV infection and were persistent after clearance of the virus in Huh7.5 cells. Bicyclol decreased the activation of NF-κB and the levels of inflammatory factors in HCV-infected hepatocytes by inhibiting the activation of the ROS-MAPK-NF-κB pathway, and the effect was synergistic with DAAs in HCV-infected hepatocytes. Bicyclol attenuated the ROS-MAPK-NF-κB axis via recovering mitochondrial function without a dependence on dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase and superoxide dismutases. The anti-inflammatory effects and mechanism of bicyclol were verified in mouse hepatitis induced by the coinjection of poly(I:C)/D-GalN. Bicyclol directly ameliorates the chronic inflammation caused by HCV infection and might be used with DAAs or after DAA therapy for ultimately curing chronic hepatitis C.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a compact and efficient hypergraph representation and a graph-similarity-based retrieval method of molecules to achieve effective and efficient medicine information retrieval. METHODS Chemical structural formula (CSF) was a primary search target as a unique and precise identifier for each compound at the molecular level in the research field of medicine information retrieval. To retrieve medicine information effectively and efficiently, a complete workflow of the graph-based CSF retrieval system was introduced. This system accepted the photos taken from smartphones and the sketches drawn on tablet personal computers as CSF inputs, and formalized the CSFs with the corresponding graphs. Then this paper proposed a compact and efficient hypergraph representation for molecules on the basis of analyzing factors that directly affected the efficiency of graph matching. According to the characteristics of CSFs, a hierarchical collapsing method combining graph isomorphism and frequent subgraph mining was adopted. There was yet a fundamental challenge, subgraph overlapping during the collapsing procedure, which hindered the method from establishing the correct compact hypergraph of an original CSF graph. Therefore, a graph-isomorphism-based algorithm was proposed to select dominant acyclic subgraphs on the basis of overlapping analysis. Finally, the spatial similarity among graphical CSFs was evaluated by multi-dimensional measures of similarity. RESULTS To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the proposed system was firstly compared with Wikipedia Chemical Structure Explorer (WCSE), the state-of-the-art system that allowed CSF similarity searching within Wikipedia molecules dataset, on retrieval accuracy. The system achieved higher values on mean average precision, discounted cumulative gain, rank-biased precision, and expected reciprocal rank than WCSE from the top-2 to the top-10 retrieved results. Specifically, the system achieved 10%, 1.41, 6.42%, and 1.32% higher than WCSE on these metrics for top-10 retrieval results, respectively. Moreover, several retrieval cases were presented to intuitively compare with WCSE. The results of the above comparative study demonstrated that the proposed method outperformed the existing method with regard to accuracy and effectiveness. CONCLUSION This paper proposes a graph-similarity-based retrieval approach for medicine information. To obtain satisfactory retrieval results, an isomorphism-based algorithm is proposed for dominant subgraph selection based on the subgraph overlapping analysis, as well as an effective and efficient hypergraph representation of molecules. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract
With the aim of developing highly conductive ink for flexible electronics on heat-sensitive substrates, Ag nanospheres and nanoplates were mixed to synthesize hybrid inks. Five kinds of hybrid ink and two types of pure ink were written to square shape on Epson photo paper using rollerball pens, and sintered at a low temperature (100 °C). The microstructure, electrical resistivity, surface porosity, hardness and flexibility of silver patterns were systematically investigated and compared. It was observed that the optimal mixing ratio of nanospheres and nanoplates was 1:1, which equipped the directly written pattern with excellent electrical and mechanical properties. The electrical resistivity was 0.103 μΩ · m, only 6.5 times that of bulk silver. The enhancement compared to pure silver nanospheres or nanoplates based ink was due to the combined action of nanospheres and nanoplates. This demonstrates a valuable way to prepare Ag nanoink with good performance for printed/written electronics.

Abstract
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with various extrahepatic manifestations, which are correlated with poor outcomes, and thus increase the morbidity and mortality of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Therefore, understanding the internal linkages between systemic manifestations and HCV infection is helpful for treatment of CHC. Yet, the mechanism by which the virus evokes the systemic diseases remains to be elucidated. In the present study, using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and signaling pathway impact analysis (SPIA), a comprehensive analysis of microarray data of mRNAs was conducted in HCV-infected and -uninfected Huh7.5 cells, and signaling pathways (which are significantly activated or inhibited) and certain molecules (which are commonly important in those signaling pathways) were selected. Forty signaling pathways were selected using GSEA, and eight signaling pathways were selected with SPIA. These pathways are associated with cancer, metabolism, environmental information processing and organismal systems, which provide important information for further clarifying the intrinsic associations between syndromes of HCV infection, of which seven pathways were not previously reported, including basal transcription factors, pathogenic Escherichia coli infection, shigellosis, gastric acid secretion, dorso-ventral axis formation, amoebiasis and cholinergic synapse. Ten genes, SOS1, RAF1, IFNA2, IFNG, MTHFR, IGF1, CALM3, UBE2B, TP53 and BMP7 whose expression may be the key internal driving molecules, were selected using the online tool Anni 2.1. Furthermore, the present study demonstrated the internal linkages between systemic manifestations and HCV infection, and presented the potential molecules that are key to those linkages.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the safety and clinical effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the perioperative period of biliary tract surgery.
METHODS Clinical data for patients who underwent selective biliary surgery at Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University from October 2014 to April 2016 were collected. The patients were divided into either a control group (n = 312) to receive traditional perioperative management or an ERAS group (n = 304) to receive fast-track surgical intervention. Each group was divided into subgroups according to the different operative methods used (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, common bile duct exploration and drainage, and cholangioenterostomy) and compared. The differences in preoperative fasting time, indwelling rate and duration of gastric tube and catheter, indwelling duration of abdominal cavity drainage tube, T tube cholangiography time, continuous postoperative ECG monitoring time, postoperative opioid drug use rate, postoperative complications rate, time to first postoperative ambulation, time to first postoperative exhaust, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization expenses as well as the readmission rate and mortality during 30 d after discharge between groups were compared.
RESULTS Compared with the control group, the ERAS group had significantly shortened preoperative fasting time, decreased indwelling rates of gastrointestinal decompression tube and catheter, shortened indwelling durations of gastrointestinal decompression tube, catheter, and peritoneal cavity drainage tube, shortened time for postoperative T tube cholangiography and duration of postoperative continuous ECG monitoring, decreased postoperative opioid drug use rate, shortened time to postoperative ambulation and exhaust, decreased incidence of postoperative complications, shortened total hospital stay and postoperative hospitalization time, and decreased hospitalization expenses (P < 0.05). No readmission or death was found during 30 d after discharge.
CONCLUSION The application of ERAS concept and measures in the perioperative period of biliary tract surgery reduces postoperative pain, accelerates the recovery of gastrointestinal function, promotes postoperative early ambulation, reduces the incidence of postoperative complications, shortens hospital stay, decreases the cost of hospitalization, and enhances the early recovery of the patients.

Abstract
Women are most likely to suffer from breast cancer of all the malignant tumors. Its incidence is growing rapidly, which severely threatens the health of females. E-cadherin (E-cad), as the mediator of tumor tissue cells, when adhesion between the cells decreases, can improve the wettability and migration ability of cells, and help cell growth and proliferation in the new area. E-cad serves not only as a cancer inhibitor but also as a cancer promoter. sE-cadherin (sE-cad) is formed as a result of the degradation and exfoliation of N-end extracellular domain of E-cad and its level is closely related to the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. B-cell lymphoma-2 protein (Bcl-2 protein) is the key regulatory factor for the mitochondria apoptosis pathway during the apoptosis of cells, and it plays an important role in the signal transduction pathway of cell apoptosis. Its abnormal expression may induce disorder of the mechanism. This paper, through the study of the expression and relationship of E-cad, Bcl-2 protein and sE-cad, attempts to explain their expression changes during the development of breast cancer, providing clues clinically useful for further recognition of occurrence and development, early diagnosis, interference and early treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, and we conducted a case-control study by genotyping seven potentially functional SNPs, three in ERCC1 and four in XPF, in a Chinese population of 417 breast cancer cases and 417 cancer-free controls. Three SNPs in ERCC1 and four SNPs in XPF were genotyped by using the Taqman Universal PCR Master Mix in the GeneAmp(®) PCR System 9700 with Dual 384-Well Sample Block Module, and assays were performed on a 384-well plate on the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. We found that elevated breast cancer risk was associated with those who had a family history of breast cancer and history of breast disease, and those who were over 25 years old at first full-term pregnancy. We found that decreased risk of breast cancer was associated with those who had a history of full-term pregnancies. Compared with the ERCC1 rs11615 T/T genotype, a significantly higher risk of breast cancer was found in the C/C genotype in codominant and dominant models after adjusting for potential risk factors. Similarly, we found that ERCC1 rs3212986 C/C genotype was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in codominant, dominant and recessive models. Our study indicated that the ERCC1 rs11615 and rs2298881 polymorphisms are associated with breast cancer in a Chinese population. Further studies with large sample size are greatly needed to elucidate the SNPs of ERCC1 and XPF genes in the development of breast cancer.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is the most highly polymorphic isoenzyme of the cytochrome P-450-system, which affects the metabolism of one-fourth of all prescription drugs. Tramadol, a narcotic-like pain reliever used to treat moderate to severe pain, is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6. The CYP2D6*10 allele is the most common allele in the Chinese population. Therefore, we investigated the effects of CYP2D6*10 on tramadol pharmacokinetics in 45 post-operative patients who had undergone gastrointestinal tract surgery. Tramadol was administered to the patients after the operation, and the plasma concentrations of tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol were subsequently evaluated at 12 time points. Pharmacokinetic analyses were performed using non-compartmental methods. The area under the curve (AUC), plasma clearance (CL), elimination half-life (T1/2), mean residence time (MRT), peak concentration, and peak time of tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol were calculated. CYP2D6*10 was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The frequency of CYP2D6*10 alleles was 51% in the 45 patients. The patients were divided into three groups according to their CYP2D6*10 genotype: wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous mutant. Pharmacokinetic parameters were compared among the three groups. The analyses showed that T1/2, MRT, and AUC of tramadol were larger, and CL was lower in homozygous mutant patients compared to the wild-type group (P< 0.05). These results show that the CYP2D6*10 genetic polymorphism has a significant impact on the pharmacokinetics of tramadol in Chinese post-operative patients.

Abstract
Broadband grating-coupled external cavity laser, based on InAs/GaAs quantum dots, is achieved. The device has a wavelength tuning range from 1141.6 nm to 1251.7 nm under a low continuous-wave injection current density (458 A/cm(2)). The tunable bandwidth covers consecutively the light emissions from both the ground state and the 1st excited state of quantum dots. The effects of cavity length and antireflection facet coating on device performance are studied. It is shown that antireflection facet coating expands the tuning bandwidth up to ~150 nm, accompanied by an evident increase in threshold current density, which is attributed to the reduced interaction between the light field and the quantum dots in the active region of the device.
