Abstract
Objective: To analyze the drug-resistant gene loci of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Methods: From November 2022 to October 2023, 697 clinical samples (including sputum, alveolar lavage fluid and blood) of 686 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae positive detected by mNGS were retrospectively analyzed. Samples were divided into intensive care unit (ICU) group and non-ICU group, Chi-square test was used to compare groups, and Mann-Kendall trend test was used to analyze the change trend of the detection rate of drug resistance gene loci over time. Results: Of the 697 samples, 164 were from the ICU group and 533 were from the non-ICU group. The detection rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae resistance gene was 44.3% (309/697), and all detected drug-resistant gene loci of MP were A2063G. The detection rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in ICU group was 50.0% (82/164), and the detection rates of Mycoplasma pneumoniae resistance gene loci in sputum, alveolus lavage fluid and blood samples were 75.0% (18/24) and 48.4% (62/128), respectively. The detection rate in sputum was higher than alveolus lavage fluid samples (χ2=5.72,P=0.017). The detection rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in non-ICU group was 42.6% (227/533), the detection rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae resistance gene loci in sputum and alveolar lavage fluid was 40.0% (16/40), 44.3% (201/454), and no detection rate in blood samples (0/12). There was no significant difference in the detection rate of alveolar lavage fluid and sputum (χ2=0.27, P=0.602). From November 2022 to October 2023, the detection rate of submitted samples showed an increasing trend month by month (overall: Z=3.99, ICU inspection group: Z=2.93, non-ICU group: Z=3.01, all P<0.01). Among the bacteria commonly detected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae accounted for the highest proportion, the detection rate was 15.5% (108/697), and Epstein-Barr virus accounted for the highest proportion of 17.6% (123/697). Conclusions: From November 2022 to October 2023, the detection rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae drug resistance gene loci showed an increasing trend. The detection rate of drug resistance gene loci in sputum samples of ICU group was higher than alveolus lavage fluid. No new drug resistance site were detected.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the roles and underlying mechanisms of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) in gastric cancer (GC). METHODS VEGFR-3 gene expression profiles in human gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) tissues were analysed using The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Human GC cell lines and were used for in vitro studies. Mouse models of GC and distant metastasis were used for in vivo studies. Silencing of VEGFR-3 gene expression was achieved using small interfering RNA. RESULTS VEGFR-3 gene expression was significantly elevated in GAC tissues and GC cells. Higher VEGFR-3 expression was positively correlated with more advanced stages and a greater number of metastatic lymph nodes. In vitro studies in GC cells showed that knockdown of VEGFR-3 gene expression significantly suppressed cell proliferation and migration, but promoted apoptosis. In vivo investigations revealed that silencing of VEGFR-3 gene expression exhibited significant inhibition on tumour growth and metastasis. Further mechanistic studies showed that VEGFR-3 exerted its pathological roles by affecting the key molecules in the apoptotic and epithelial-mesenchymal transition pathways. CONCLUSION The molecular pathways associated with VEGFR-3-mediated pathological effects could be targets in the development of novel approaches for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of Qingpeng ointment (QPO), a Tibetan medicine for alleviating symptoms in individuals with acute gouty arthritis (AGA). METHODS This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that involved individuals with AGA whose joint pain, as measured on a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 10, was equal to or greater than 3. The participants were randomly assigned to either the QPO or the placebo group and received their respective treatments twice daily for seven consecutive days. In case of intolerable pain, the participants were allowed to use diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets as a rescue medicine. The primary outcomes measured were joint pain and swelling, while the secondary outcomes included joint mobility, redness, serum uric acid levels, C-reactive protein levels, and the amount of remaining rescue medicine. Any adverse events that occurred during the trial were also recorded. RESULTS A total of 203 cases were divided into two groups, with balanced baselines: 102 in the QPO group and 101 in the placebo group. For joint pain, differences between the groups were notable in the VAS scores [1.75 (0, 3.00) versus 2.00 (1.00, 3.50); P = 0.038], changes in VAS [5.00 (3.00, 6.00) versus 4.00 (2.00, 6.00); P = 0.036], and disappearance rate [26.47% compared to 15.84%; P = 0.046] after treatment. Concerning joint swelling, significant between-group differences were observed in the VAS scores [1.00 (0, 2.30) versus 2.00 (0.70, 3.00); P = 0.032] and disappearance rate [33.33% compared to 21.78%; P = 0.046] at treatment completion. The QPO group exhibited a statistically significant mobility improvement compared to the placebo group (P = 0.004). No significant differences were found in other secondary outcomes. Five patients, four from the QPO group and one from the other, encountered mild adverse events, primarily skin irritation. All of these cases were resolved after dosage reduction or discontinuation of the medication. CONCLUSIONS Compared to the placebo, QPO exhibits positive effects on AGA by alleviating pain, reducing swelling, and enhancing joint mobility, without causing significant adverse effects.

Abstract
RATIONALE Adenomatoid tumors are rare benign tumors, mainly involving the reproductive tract, such as the epididymis in men and the uterus and fallopian tubes in women. However, a few cases can occur outside the reproductive tract. Herein, we report a rare case of a primary adenomatoid tumor of the adrenal gland. PATIENT CONCERNS A 50-year-old man underwent ultrasound examination and was found to have a right adrenal mass without elevated blood pressure, weakness after fatigue, frequent nocturnal urination urgency, pain, or a history of hematuria. The patient's general health was normal. Computed tomography revealed a polycystic mixed-density lesion in the right adrenal region, approximately 7.3 × 4.5 cm in size. DIAGNOSES Based on the clinical information, morphological features, and immunohistochemistry results, a pathological diagnosis of primary adenomatoid tumor of the adrenal gland was made. INTERVENTION Excision of the right adrenal gland and tumor through the 11 ribs. OUTCOMES The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. LESSONS Preventing misdiagnosis adenomatoid tumors with other types of adrenal gland tumors or metastatic tumors is imperative. Morphological and immunohistochemical features can help diagnose primary adenomatoid tumors of the adrenal gland.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the rate of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin and the common mutation patterns of resistance genes in Ningxia, and to assess the concordance between phenotypic resistance and genotypic resistance. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Patients diagnosed with Hp infection in 14 hospitals in Ningxia region from February 2020 to May 2022 were retrospectively selected. Hp strains were isolated from gastric biopsy specimens of Hp-infected patients and subjected to phenotypic drug sensitivity testing and detection of resistance genes to analyze the rate of Hp resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin and the common mutation patterns of resistance genes in Ningxia region; and the concordance rate and Kappa concordance test were used to assess the concordance between phenotypic resistance and genotypic resistance. Results: A total of 1 942 Hp strains were isolated and cultured, and among the infections, 1 069 cases (55.0%) were male and 873 cases (45.0%) were female, aged (50.0±12.5) years (15-86 years). The rates of Hp resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin in Ningxia were 42.1% (818/1 942) and 40.1% (779/1 942), respectively, and the rate of dual resistance to both was 22.8% (443/1 942). The rate of resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin of Hp strains from female patients was higher than in male patients (levofloxacin: 50.4%(440/873) vs 35.4%(378/1 069); clarithromycin: 44.4%(388/873) vs 36.6%(391/1 069), both P<0.001). Among the GyrA gene mutations associated with levofloxacin resistance, the differences in mutation rate of amino acid at positions 87 and 91 were statistically significant in both drug-resistant and sensitive strains(both P<0.001), except for Asn87Thr. Hp strains were statistically significant for levofloxacin (Kappa=0.834, P<0.001) and clarithromycin (Kappa=0.829, P<0.001) had good concordance in resistance at the phenotypic and genotypic levels. Conclusion: The resistance of Hp to levofloxacin and clarithromycin in Ningxia region is severe, and there is good consistency between genotypic and phenotypic resistance.

RATIONALE Salivary gland-type acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a low-grade malignancy. Primary ACC of the trachea and lungs is rare; here, we describe 1 such case. The histological morphology of tracheal ACC was similar to that of its salivary gland-associated equivalent. Because of its rarity, it is easily misdiagnosed as another type of tracheal or lung tumor. Microscopic analysis of pathological features and immunohistochemistry help diagnose primary ACC of the trachea and lungs. PATIENT CONCERNS A 33-year-old female complained of shortness of breath and hemoptysis for 2 years, and reported the symptoms to have aggravated over the last 4 months. The patient was admitted to our hospital for further treatment. Enhanced computed tomography revealed a soft tissue density nodule shadow in the trachea, which was approximately 1.3 × 1.2 cm in size. DIAGNOSES Based on the clinical information, morphological features, and immunohistochemistry, the pathological diagnosis was primary ACC of the trachea. INTERVENTION The tracheal lesion was resected with an electric snare, electrotomy, freezing, and an argon knife using a rigid bronchoscope. OUTCOMES The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. LESSONS It is important to prevent misdiagnosis of this type of tumor as another type of lung tumor. Morphological and immunohistochemical features can be useful in diagnosing primary ACC of the trachea and lungs.

Abstract
Research progress of catalysts of the aldol condensation reaction of biomass based compounds is summarized for the synthesis of liquid fuel precursors and chemicals. In summary, an acidic catalyst, alkaline catalyst, acid–base amphoteric catalyst, ionic liquid and other catalysts can catalyze the aldol condensation reaction. The aldol condensation reaction catalyzed by an acid catalyst has the problems of low conversion and low yield. The basic catalyst catalyzes the aldol condensation reaction with high conversion and yield, but the existence of liquid alkali is difficult to separate from the product. The reaction temperature needed for oxide and hydrotalcite alkali is relatively high. The basic resin has good catalytic activity and at a low reaction temperature, and is easy to separate from the target product. Acid–base amphoteric catalysts have received extensive attention from researchers for their excellent activity and selectivity. Ionic liquid is a new type of material, which can also be used for the aldol condensation reaction. In the future application of aldol condensation, the development of strong alkaline resin is a good research direction. Research progress of catalysts of the aldol condensation reaction of biomass based compounds is summarized for the synthesis of liquid fuel precursors and chemicals.![]()

Abstract
Plants are often adversely affected by abiotic stresses such as drought, low temperature, and salinity during growth, and plant NAC-like transcription factors are involved in regulating growth and developmental processes in response to stresses such as drought and salinity. In this study, to investigate the function of AfNAC1, a co-expression network of AfNAC1 genes was constructed using gene expression data from the Chinese legume deciduous shrub, Amorpha fruticosa Linn. A 576 bp NAC transcription factor (AfNAC1 gene, MN180266) encoding 191 amino acids was isolated from Amorpha fruticosa seedlings by RT-PCR. qRT-PCR showed that the AfNAC1 gene was expressed in the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers of Amorpha fruticosa. However, drought stress significantly increased root expression, and the AfNAC1 protein was localized in the nucleus by green fluorescence detection. This study analyzed the drought resistance of overexpressing tobacco in depth. Under natural drought stress, the chlorophyll and antioxidant enzyme activities of overexpressing plants were significantly higher than those of wild-type (WT) plants, but the MDA content was lower than that of WT; after rehydration the Fv/Fm values of AfNAC1-overexpressing tobacco recovered faster than those of wild-type tobacco and rapidly reached the control levels; AfNAC1 may be involved in the regulation of the photosystem and indirectly in the regulation of the plant in response to drought stress.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics of pulse-step-sine (PSS) test in healthy people of different ages and to discuss its clinical value. Methods: From July 10, 2018 to December 9, 2020, a total of 78 healthy volunteers, including 40 males and 38 females, were enrolled and divided into youth group, middle age group and old age group. The I Portal NOTC rotational-chair system (NKI) was applied for PSS detection to analyze the clinical characteristics of gain, phase, asymmetry, and slope of step and sinusoidal components. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS17.0 software. Results: In the same age group, there were no statistically significant differences in left and right step gain, slope gain and sine gain (All P values were greater than 0.05). Pairwise comparison between different age groups showed that there was no significant difference in the corresponding parameters between the youth group and the middle age group. Compared with young group, the old age group had a significantly lower step gain value in their left side (P<0.01) but not in the right side (P>0.05).The left and right slopes of the old age group were significantly lower than those of the young group and the middle group, and the differences were statistically significant (All P values<0.05). Conclusion: The PSS test can detect bilateral and unilateral horizontal semicircular canal function with good tolerance in different age groups, better than the traditional rotational chair examination to determine the well-compensated unilateral vestibular function. PSS test is a new vestibular detection method.

Abstract
Objective: The characteristics of 3D-FLAIR MRI images of the inner ear of patients with vestibular neuritis were preliminarily studied to explore the possible pathogenesis of vestibular neuritis, and the correlation analysis was conducted in combination with vestibular function to provide a basis for accurate diagnosis of vestibular neuritis. Methods: A total of 36 patients with vestibular neuritis (VN) from December 2019 to October 2020 were collected from the Vertigo Department of Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University. There were 36 cases (18 females, 18 males) with unilateral acute vestibular neuritis, 17 cases of left ear and 19 cases of right ear. According to the results of 3D-FLAIR MRI in the inner ears, the patients were divided into the enhanced group and the non-enhanced group (the health side served as the normal control group). The results of vestibular function examination in the two groups were compared. SPSS19.0 software was used for statistical processing to analyze the relationship between the vestibular function and the characteristics of 3D-FLAIR imaging in the inner ears. Results: Abnormal enhancement of 3D-FLAIR was found in 31 cases (86.1%) of the 36 cases, including 14 cases of both vestibular nerve and vestibular terminal organ enhancement, eight cases of superior vestibular nerve enhancement alone, seven cases of vestibular terminal organ enhancement alone, and two cases of cochlear enhancement alone. Observation of abnormal reinforcement of vestibular nerve showed: twenty-one cases of superior vestibular nerve reinforcement, one case of superior and inferior vestibular nerve reinforcement. No abnormalities were found in 3D-FLAIR of inner ear in 5 cases. According to the analysis of vestibular function results, there were 19 cases (52.8%) with total vestibular involvement, sixteen cases (44.4%) with superior vestibular involvement alone, and one case (2.8%) with inferior vestibular involvement alone. Comparison of vestibular function between the five cases (non-enhancement group) and the 31 cases (enhanced group) in the 3D-FLAIR group of the inner ears showed that the CP values of caloric tests in the enhanced group were higher (60.81±3.49 vs 34.12±7.37), with statistically significant difference (t=-2.898, P<0.01). Conclusion: In patients with vestibular neuritis, 3D-FLAIR MRI scan of the inner ear provides visual imaging evidence for clinical practice, considering that the lesion site of vestibular neuritis is not only in the vestibular nerve, but also in the vestibular end organ. Patients with 3D-FLAIR enhanced in the inner ear may have more significant vestibular function damage.

Abstract
The production of polarized proton beams with multi-GeV energies in ultraintense laser interaction with targets is studied with three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. A near-critical density plasma target with prepolarized proton and tritium ions is considered for the proton acceleration. The prepolarized protons are initially accelerated by laser radiation pressure before injection and further acceleration in a bubblelike wakefield. The temporal dynamics of proton polarization is tracked via the Thomas-Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation and it is found that the proton polarization state can be altered by both the laser field and the magnetic component of the wakefield. The dependence of the proton acceleration and polarization on the ratio of the ion species is determined and it is found that the protons can be efficiently accelerated as long as their relative fraction is less than 20%, in which case the bubble size is large enough for the protons to obtain sufficient energy to overcome the bubble injection threshold.

Abstract
Microorganism exerts a profound impact on the development and function of human immunity. Vice versa, immunity also affects the constitution and function of human microbiota. Hence, a new concept, immunomicroecology, has been put forward as an inevitable consequence of the development in the fields of microecology and immunology. Here, we describe the reciprocities between immunological system and microecological system, and elaborate the concept, developing course, and prospects of immunomicroecology.

Abstract
With the development of laser communication, remote sensing imaging, and other technologies, an inertial reference unit (IRU) plays an essential part in the line-of-sight (LOS) stabilization system used for acquiring, pointing, and tracking targets. The IRU provides a stable reference beam to realize accurate LOS pointing under external disturbances. Compared with the frame style IRU, the platform style IRU (PIRU) can achieve a higher bandwidth and better precision. However, mechanical resonance is introduced by a flexure hinge inevitably in the PIRU, which affects the performance of the LOS stabilization system. In this paper, an open-loop dynamic model of PIRU is established. Identification experiments are carried out with results indicating a 28.7 dB resonance peak at 27.07 Hz in the x axis and a 30.3 dB resonance peak at 26.59 Hz in the y axis. An asymmetric notch filter is used to suppress the resonance peak to achieve a higher control bandwidth. A fitness function is designed to represent the effect of resonance suppression. A particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to search for an optimal solution of the fitness function to obtain the parameters of the asymmetric notch filter. Experimental results show that the resonance peak is reduced by 97.88% and the system bandwidth reaches 159.31 Hz.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to elucidate the functional role of hsa-miR-328-3p/STAT3 pathway in the effects of propofol on gastric cancer proliferation. METHODS Bioinformatics was used to analyze the molecular expression differences of hsa-miR-328-3p/STAT3 axis in stomach adenocarcinoma (n = 435) and normal samples (n = 41) from TCGA database. The expression of the above molecules in gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 and normal gastric mucosal cells GES-1 was verified via qPCR. The dual-luciferase assay was carried out to confirm the interaction between hsa-miR-328-3p and STAT3. Subsequently, the cell proliferation and the expression of the above molecules in SGC-7901 and GES-1 cells were evaluated after 10 μM propofol treatment. Finally, we analyzed whether propofol still inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer by suppressing STAT3 pathway after hsa-miR-328-3p down-regulation. RESULTS Compared with normal samples, the expression of hsa-miR-328-3p was significantly down-regulated in stomach adenocarcinoma samples, while the expression of STAT3 and downstream target genes (MMP2, CCND1 and COX2) was up-regulated. The results were consistent with those in GES-1 and SGC-7901 cell lines. Meanwhile, we found that hsa-miR-328-3p can bind to the 3'-UTR of the potential target gene STAT3. Furthermore, propofol significantly inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901, where hsa-miR-328-3p was up-regulated and the expression of STAT3 and downstream proliferation-related target genes were down-regulated. However, the growth inhibition of propofol on SGC-7901 cell was significantly reversed after the inhibition of hsa-miR-328-3p. CONCLUSIONS To sum up, propofol suppressed the STAT3 pathway via up-regulating hsa-miR-328-3p to inhibit gastric cancer proliferation.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the roles between two different HIV self-testing models in promoting HIV-testing among men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: This paper focuses on two HIV self-testing service models. The first; is the online self-testing model (HIV self-testing conventional model) with the sexual health promotion network platform. The other one is an innovative HIV self-testing model (secondary distribution model), based on the previous program. The two different self-testing models, including the number of indexes and alters, the positive rate, and the demographics of indexes and alters, are compared. The influence of volunteers with or without leadership on the number of HIV self-test kits distributed or self-use is analyzed through the leadership survey scale. Results: The return rates of HIV self-testing results in the two models are 94.7%(323/341) and 99.2%(1 141/1 150), respectively, within 30 days. The proportion of alters in the secondary distribution is significantly higher (45.9%,281/612) than the conventional HIV self-testing (6.3%,20/318). In the secondary distribution model, the difference between the number of indexes and alters indicators including age, marital status, residence, sex orientation, anal sex with men in the past six months, and HIV test are statistically significant (χ2 test, all P<0.05). The opinion leader of MSM has significantly impacted the promotion of HIV self-testing (P<0.05). Conclusions: Both models can promote HIV self-testing, result return, and HIV positive detection among MSM. In terms of expanding the testing and detection of HIV positive, the secondary distribution mode shows more obvious advantages, which significantly promotes a large number of MSM who have never been tested for HIV to undergo HIV testing. Influential indexes have a significant effect on increasing the HIV testing rate and promoting HIV testing among MSM.

Abstract
The mixed teaching model combines the advantages of traditional teaching and network teaching in the "Internet +" era, which has become one of the important trends in the higher education teaching development. In order to follow this development trend, the human parasitology teaching team makes a reasonable use of modern information techniques, actively promotes the construction and application of online resources, and conducts mixed online and offline teaching based on MOOC resources and the experimental teaching digital platform. This mixed teaching model has shown a positive impact on both teaching and learning among teachers and students; however, students' personalized independent and deep learning remains unsatisfactory. It is suggested that the online course resources construction, teaching design and digital literacy remain to be increased, so as to create a high-level, innovative and challenging online-offline mixed "golden course".

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the molecular characteristics and antibiotic susceptibility of two strains of Nocardia farcinica isolated from patients with joint infection using whole genome sequencing. Methods: Two strains of Nocardia farcinica causing knee-joint infections in two elderly patients were collected in January 2020. Whole genome sequencing was used to determine the nocardia species. Drug sensitivity test was performed using the micro-broth dilution and E-test method according to CLSI M24 guideline. ABRicate was used to analyze drug resistance and virulence genes. Snippy and other bioinformatic tools were used for genomic comparison, and to construct SNP homologous tree. Results: The clinical isolates in this study were both Nocardia farcinica. Antimicrobial susceptibility test showed the isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone, cefepime, cefotaxime and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX). Imipenem, linezolid and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid showed good activity. Four antibiotic resistance genes including class A β-lactamase gene far-1, RNA polymerase binding protein gene RbpA, multi-drug resistance efflux pump transcription activator gene MtrA and regulatory transcription factor gene vanR-O were identified in the Nocardia farcinica genomes, which conferred resistance to beta-lactams, rifampicin, macrolides and vancomycin respectively. No acquired TMP/SMX resistance genes were identified. There are multiple missense mutations in the dihydrofolate reductase family genes. Four virulence genes of icl, mbtH, phoP, and relA that are homologous to Mycobacterium tuberculosis were found. SNP homologous tree analysis showed the two Nocardia strains were closely related, and there were only ten SNP sites, six compound substitutions and one deletion mutation between them. Conclusions: Whole genome sequencing technology is helpful to explore the molecular characteristics and resistance mechanisms of Nocardia species. Nocardia farcinica has a trend of spreading in China. Resistance to TMP/SMX is worthy of attention. The mutation of genes involved in the metabolic pathway of dihydrofolate might be one of multiple TMP/SMX resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and early identification of spontaneous rupture of uterus caused by placenta percreta. Methods: The clinical data of 12 patients with spontaneous uterine rupture caused by placenta percreta and admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2014 to December 2019 were collected. The age, gestational age, gestational history, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, uterine operation history, rupture location, surgical method, treatment and outcome were analyzed. Results: (1) General condition: the median age of pregnant women was 37 years (range: 30-43 years), and the median gestational week of uterine rupture was 29+6 weeks (range: 18+3-36+3 weeks). (2) Clinical manifestation: among the 12 pregnant women, 9 showed different degrees of abdominal pain; chest distress accompanied by waist soreness, abdominal distension in 2 cases; one asymptomatic pregnant women was found with uterine rupture during elective cesarean section. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasonography indicated that 9 of the 12 pregnant women had peritoneal effusion, and 6 of them underwent diagnostic peritoneal puncture or posterior vault puncture for non-clotting blood extraction. (3) Uterine operation history and rupture location: among the 12 cases of spontaneous rupture of uterus caused by placenta percreta pregnant women, 10 had placenta previa after cesarean section, including 4 cases of rupture at the incision of the original cesarean section, 3 cases of rupture at the penetrating placental implantation of the lower segment of the anterior wall of the uterus, and 1 case of placenta percreta occurred at the myomectomy site of the right angle of the uterus. Among the 2 pregnant women with spontaneous uterine rupture caused by penetrating placental implantation without a history of cesarean section, 1 case with history of multiple abortions, and uterine rupture occurred at the bottom of the palace, 1 had rupture of placental penetrating implantation after hysteroscopic electroresection of endometrial polyps, and the uterine rupture occurred at the anterior wall of the lower segment of the uterus. (4) Maternal and fetal outcomes: 11 pregnant women were injected with suspension RBC and 1 pregnant woman was not injected with blood products. Nine cases underwent hysteroplasty and 3 cases underwent subtotal hysterectomy. There were 11 maternal survivors and 1 maternal death; 7 neonates survived and 6 stillbirths. Conclusions: Uterine rupture caused by placenta percreta is of great harm to mother and infant, due to its heterogeneity in clinical manifestations, which increases the possibility of misdiagnosis. For pregnant women with risk factors of placenta percreta, early diagnosis should be made during pregnancy. For those who have been diagnosed with placenta percreta, when there is typical or atypical uterine rupture, doctors should be alert to the occurrence of uterine rupture.

Abstract
β-delayed one-proton emissions of ^{22}Si, the lightest nucleus with an isospin projection T_{z}=-3, are studied with a silicon array surrounded by high-purity germanium detectors. Properties of β-decay branches and the reduced transition probabilities for the transitions to the low-lying states of ^{22}Al are determined. Compared to the mirror β decay of ^{22}O, the largest value of mirror asymmetry in low-lying states by far, with δ=209(96), is found in the transition to the first 1^{+} excited state. Shell-model calculation with isospin-nonconserving forces, including the T=1, J=2, 3 interaction related to the s_{1/2} orbit that introduces explicitly the isospin-symmetry breaking force and describes the loosely bound nature of the wave functions of the s_{1/2} orbit, can reproduce the observed data well and consistently explain the observation that a large δ value occurs for the first but not for the second 1^{+} excited state of ^{22}Al. Our results, while supporting the proton-halo structure in ^{22}Al, might provide another means to identify halo nuclei.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of transient elastography (FibroTouch) in obese children and to investigate the liver characteristics of obese children based on FibroTouch. Methods: Children (5-18 years of age) from the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center were examined by FibroTouch. The fat attenuation parameter (FAP) was used to assess liver fat deposition, and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was used to assess liver fibrosis. The children were divided into obesity group (n=67) and non-obesity group (n=139). The FAP, LSM, and their influencing factors were analysed in the obese group. Results: The total effective rate of FibroTouch in non-sedated children aged 5-18 years (n=229) was 97.8%. The FAP value 259.4 (235.9-275.5) dB/m in obese children was significantly higher than that in the control group 178.1 (168.7-195.6) dB/m, (Z=-10.586, P<0.001). The LSM value in obese children 5.9 (4.5-7.5) kPa was significantly higher than that in non-obese children 3.2 (2.3-4.1) kPa, (Z=-8.832, P<0.001). The proportion of liver fibrosis in obese group was 30%, and that of nonalcoholic fatty liver was 65.7%. Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI percentile (≥ 95%) was an independent factor for significant liver fibrosis (OR=1.267, 95%CI: 1.056-1.519, P=0.011) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (OR=1.248, 95%CI: 1.007-1.546, P=0.043). Conclusions: FibroTouch can be successfully applied to obese children. Fibrotouch can accurately evaluate the liver fibrosis and fat attenuation parameters in obese children. Obese children have higher FAP and LSM, which increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver and liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of inpatients with the indication of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) therapy and combined acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE). Methods: We retrospectively screened 8 641 inpatients who admitted with the indication of CIED implantation in Fuwai Hospital from January 2014 to May 2019. The clinical characteristics, management strategies and clinical outcome were analyzed for patients diagnosed as APTE. Results: APTE were identified in 45 (5‰) patients in this cohort, there were 18(40%) male patients, the average age was (73±8) years old and body mass index was (27±10) kg/m2.Thirty-two (70%) patients were at intermediate-risk and 13 (30%) at low-risk. Anti-coagulation therapy was initiated in 38(84%) patients, and 30 patients underwent CIED implantation (27 pacemaker, 2 CRT and 1 ICD). No postoperative bleeding or pocket hematoma were detected in the 23 patients taking anticoagulation medication before implantation. During an average of (30±7) months' follow up, thrombus was dissolved in 20 patients, hemorrhage complications were observed in 2 patients (1 cerebral hemorrhage and 1 hematuria), anticoagulation therapy was discontinued in these 2 patients. Among 15 patients without immediate CIED implantation and treated with anticoagulation therapy during hospitalization, 2 patients developed complete paroxysmal Ⅲ° atrioventricular block, and recovered after therapy during hospitalization. Seven patients were re-hospitalized for CIED implantation due to bradycardia. Five patients died during follow-up (3 sudden cardiac death, 1 APTE combined with cerebral infarction, and 1 pulmonary infection). Conclusion: APTE is not rare in patients with the indication of CIED implantation, CIED implantation and anti-coagulation therapy are safe for these patients, and transient atrioventricular block could be detected in APTE patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Esophageal cancer has a high incidence among malignancies in China, but a comprehensive picture of the status of its surgical management in China has hitherto not been available. A nationwide database has recently been established to address this issue. METHOD A National Database was setup through a network platform, and data was collected from 70 high-volume centers (>100 esophagectomies/per year) across China. Data was entered between January 2009 and December 2014, and was analyzed in June 2015 after a minimal follow-up of 6 months for all patients. 8181 patients with complete data who received surgery for primary esophageal cancer on the Database were included in the analysis. RESULT In this series, there were 6052 males and 2129 females, with a mean age of 60.5 years (range: 22-90 years). The pathology in 95.5% of patients was squamous cell carcinoma. The pathological stage distribution was 1.2% in stage 0, 2.5% in Ia, 11.5% in Ib, 14.8% in IIa, 36.1% in IIb, 19.3% in IIIa, 8.3% in IIIb, 6.2% in IIIc. 1800 patients (22.0%) with locally advanced disease received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and 3592 patients (43.9%) underwent postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. The esophagectomies were performed through left thoracotomy approach in 5870 cases (72.6%), through right chest approach in 2215 cases (27.4%) including right thoracotomy (21.3%) and VATS (6.1%). The 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 0.6% (43 patients), and the overall postoperative complication rate was 11.6% (951 patients). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 82.6%, 61.6%, and 52.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION This National Registry Database from high-volume centers provides a comprehensive picture of surgical management for esophageal cancer in China for the first time. Squamous cell carcinoma predominates, but there is heterogeneity with respect to the surgical approach and perioperative oncologic management. Overall, surgical mortality and morbidity rates are low, and good survival rates have been achieved due to improvement of surgical treatment technology in recent years.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap on the repair of axillary moderate to severe scar contracture deformity. Methods: From January 2012 to January 2017, 29 patients with axillary moderate to severe scar contracture deformity were admitted to the the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, including 18 females and 11 males, aged 14-42 years. There were 3 patients with cicatricial contracture deformity of bilateral axillas and 26 patients with cicatricial contracture deformity of unilateral axilla. After relevant preoperative examinations were completed and basic diseases were controlled, axillary scar was removed or released under the anesthesia of endotracheal intubation. The areas of wounds ranged from 7.5 cm×5.0 cm to 21.0 cm×8.5 cm after the operation. The pedicled TDAP flaps were used to repair the defects, which were thinned based on demand of the recipient sites before being transferred. The areas of flaps ranged from 9.0 cm×6.0 cm to 22.0 cm×10.0 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly. The status of thinned flaps, the survival of flaps after the operation and during follow-up, and the shoulder joint function during follow-up were observed. Results: Thirty-two pedicled TDAP flaps were harvested for repairing the defects. Among them, 14 flaps were transferred directly without thinning and the thickness of the flaps ranged from 9.0 mm to 15.0 mm, with average thickness of 13.6 mm.While the other 18 flaps were thinned, and the thickness of the thinned flaps ranged from 5.0 mm to 8.0 mm, with average thickness of 7.5 mm. The distal parts of 3 flaps in 3 patients showed small size of blackening or necrosis within 72 hours after the operation, and 2 of them were thinned and the other one was not. Finally, the 3 flaps were healed after hyperbaric oxygen therapy, dressing change, or other treatments. One flap occurred vein congestion 8 hours after the operation caused by pressure on the pedicle, and the color of the flap turned back to normal after the pressure was relieved. The rest of the flaps survived well. All the patients were followed up for 9 to 36 months, with an average of 18 months. All the flaps survived well, the color of the flaps was nearly the same as the recipient sites, and none of the flaps developed obvious contraction. The shoulder joint function of all patients was significantly improved compared with that before operation, with abduction angles of shoulder joints ranged from 90.0-145.0°, with an average of 130.0°. Conclusions: Pedicled TDAP flap is an relatively ideal choice for the repair of moderate to severe axillary scar contracture deformity, and better results will be achieved if the flaps are thinned to a appropriate thickness according to the condition of axillary defects.

Abstract
In the era of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), it is important to analyse the prognostic value of deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this study, in pretreatment biopsies of 69 patients with stage II-IVa NPC, the expression levels of MMR proteins, including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The median follow-up time was 37.5 months (3.1-87.4 months). 50.7% of cases (35/69) showed preserved expression of all 4 MMR proteins, which was interpreted as proficient mismatch repair (pMMR). Only 1.5% of cases (1/69) lost expression of all 4 MMR proteins, 26.1% of cases (18/69) have PMS2 loss alone and 21.7% of cases (15/69) lost expression of both PMS2 and MLH1. Thus, 49.3% of cases (34/69) lost expression of one or more MMR proteins, which was interpreted as dMMR. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in terms of sex, age, clinical stage, T category, N category or therapy regimens between the dMMR and pMMR groups. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that dMMR was an independent significant prognostic factor for distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (dMMR vs pMMR: P = 0.01, HR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.09~0.75). Therefore, NPC patients with dMMR had significantly superior DMFS compared with patients with pMMR. It can be expected that dMMR will become a new independent prognostic factor for NPC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the cost-effectiveness and willingness-to-pay of HIV self-testing (HIVST) strategy and facility-based HIV rapid testing (HIV-RDT) strategy in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Zhuhai, and provide scientific evidence for making health policy. Methods: From the perspective of health service providers, the data of the costs and effectiveness of two HIV testing strategies in MSM in Zhuhai during January-September 2019 were collected, and a decision-tree model of cohort of 10 000 MSM was constructed by using software TreeAge Pro 2019 to measure the cost-effectiveness ratio (CER) and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). One-way and probability sensitivity analysis was performed for the uncertainty of the parameters in the model, and the cost-effectiveness and affordability curve was introduced to estimate the affordability of two strategies. Results: After the mobilization of MSM community-based organization through Internet and social media, 2 303 MSM had HIVST, in whom 33 were HIV positive (1.7%), and 816 MSM received HIV-RDT, in whom 35 were HIV positive (4.3%). The cost for per screening was 60.45 yuan and 240.43 yuan (RMB) respectively, and the cost for per positive screening was 4 218 yuan and 5 606 yuan (RMB) rerspectively. The results of the decision-tree model showed that the mean cost for a MSM using HIVST and using HIV-RDT was 44.67 yuan and 148.42 yuan (RMB) respectively, and the ICER was negative. HIVST strategy was a more cost-effective option when the willing-to-pay was below 6 528 yuan (RMB) for per positive screening, and HIV-RDT strategy was a more cost-effective option when the investment was higher than 6 528 yuan (RMB). Conclusion: HIVST strategy in Zhuhai is a public health project with economic value, and policy makers should strengthen the support to MSM community-based organization to promote the application of HIVST among MSM.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and current status of surgical management for esophageal cancer in China. Methods: A national database was setup through a network platform. The clinical data of esophageal cancer treated by surgery was collected from 70 major hospitals in China between January 2009 and December 2014. Results: Complete data of 8 181 cases of esophageal cancer patients who underwent surgery were recorded in the database and recruited in the analysis. Among them, 6 052 cases were male and 2 129 were female, the average age was 60.5 years.The epidemiological investigation results showed that 148 cases (1.8%) had history of psychological trauma, 7 527 cases (92.0%) were lower social economic status, 5 072 cases (62.0%) were short of fresh vegetables and fruits, 6 544 cases (80.0%) ate rough food frequently, 3 722 cases (45.5%) drank untreated water directly from lake or river or shallow well, 3 436 cases (42.0%) had a unhealthy eating habit, including habits of eating food fast (507 cases, 6.2%), eating hot food or drinking hot tea/soup (998 cases, 12.2%), eating fried food (1 939 cases, 23.7%), 4 410 cases (53.9%) had the habits of smoking cigarettes and 2 822 cases (34.5%) drank white wine frequently.The pathological results showed that 7 813 cases (95.5%) were squamous cell carcinoma, 267 cases were adenocarcinoma (3.3%), 25 cases were adenosquamous cell carcinoma (0.3%) and 50 cases were small cell carcinoma (0.6%). A total of 1 800 cases (22.0%) received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy due to locally advanced disease or difficulty of resection. The esophagectomies were performed through left thoracotomy approach in 5 870 cases (71.8%), through right chest approach in 2 215 cases (27.1%), and the remain 96 cases (1.2%) received surgery though other approaches.A total of 8 001 cases (97.8%) underwent radical resection, the other 180 cases (2.2%) received palliative resection. The 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 0.5%, the overall ≥ grade Ⅱ postoperative complication rate was 11.6% (951 cases). The 1-yr, 3-yr, and 5-yr overall actual survival rates were 82.6%, 61.6%, and 52.9%, respectively. Conclusions: The data analysis of the national database for esophageal cancer shows that bad eating habits or eating rough food without enough nutrients, lower social and economic status, drinking white wine and smoking cigarettes frequently may be correlated with tumorigenesis of esophageal cancer. However, strong evidences produced by prospective observation studies are needed. Overall, the long-term survival of esophageal cancer patients has been improved gradually due to the application of advanced surgical techniques and reasonable multimodality treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence and development of gastric cancer is a multi-factor, multi-stage, multi-gene abnormal accumulation process. Both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the molecular mechanism of gastric cancer. DNA methylation is one of the most studied epigenetic expression mechanisms. To study the correlation between gene promoter methylation status and protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3), as well as their association with clinicopathological features in early gastric cancer (EGC) cases. METHODS Immunohistochemical analysis and methylation-specific PCR (MSP) were used to detect the expression of VEGFR3 protein and methylation status of the VEGFR3 promoter in 50 cases of EGC and their paired normal gastric mucosa tissues. The level of DNA methylation of the VEGFR3 promoter, in situ VEGFR3 protein expression, and the clinicopathological characteristics of EGC patients were statistically analyzed. RESULTS The positive rate of VEGFR3 protein expression in EGC tumor tissue (60%) was significantly higher than that in the normal gastric mucosa (10%). The detectable methylation frequency of VEGFR3 promoter in EGC tumor tissue (48%) was significantly lower than that in the normal gastric mucosa (85%). As anticipated, the methylation level of the VEGFR3 gene promoter was negatively associated with the overexpression of VEGFR3 protein. In addition, methylation status of the VEGFR3 gene promoter was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis in EGC patients (P<0.05), but was not linked to patients' gender, age, tumor size, degree of differentiation, or tumor invasion depth (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Hypomethylation of the VEGFR3 gene promoter is one of the major mechanisms underlying VEGFR3 gene overexpression in EGC tumor tissues and is related to lymph node metastasis in EGC patients. DNA methylation of VEGFR3 is expected to become a molecular diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for EGC.

Abstract
Background: The number of patients suffering from coronary heart disease with cancer is rising. There is scarce evidence concerning the biomarkers related to prognosis among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with cancer. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and prognosis in this population.Methods: A total of 172 patients undergoing PCI with previous history of cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study. The endpoint was long-term all-cause mortality. According to tertiles of RDW, the patients were classified into three groups: Tertile 1 (RDW <12.8%), Tertile 2 (RDW ≥12.8% and <13.5%) and Tertile 3 (RDW ≥13.5%).Results: During an average follow-up period of 33.3 months, 29 deaths occurred. Compared with Tertile 3, mortality of Tertile 1 and Tertile 2 was significantly lower in the Kaplan-Meier analysis. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, RDW remained an independent risk factor of mortality (HR: 1.938, 95% CI: 1.295-2.655, p < 0.001). The all-cause mortality in Tertile 3 was significantly higher than that in Tertile 1 (HR: 5.766; 95% CI: 1.426-23.310, p = 0.014).Conclusions: An elevated RDW level (≥13.5%) was associated with long-term all-cause mortality among patients undergoing PCI with previous history of cancer.

Abstract
Iodine nutrition surveillance of vulnerable population was conducted in 18 cities of Henan Province in 2015. The medians and quartiles of urinary iodine concentration in women of reproductive-age (n=3 318), pregnant women (n=36 366), lactating women (n=4 153), infants <2 years of age (n=1 017), and children aged 8-10 years (n=4 806) were 202.1(124.0, 310.0), 192.4(133.6, 262.4), 168.3(119.1, 248.3), 214.2(156.1, 272.3) and 90.0 (121.8, 285.6) μg/L, respectively. Iodine status of the vulnerable populations was generally regarded as adequate in Henan Province. But the median of urinary iodine concentration of reproductive-age women were slightly above the adequate level. The proportions above iodine adequate level were 26.7% in reproductive-age women, 29.4% in pregnant women and 22.5% in children aged 8-10 years.

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

Methods: This retrospective study included 6 children who were diagnosed with SS at the pediatric cardiovascular center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2012 to September 2018. SS was diagnosed by echocardiography and confirmed by cardiac computed tomography angiography(CTA) or surgery. All data were collected to analyze the clinical and imaging characteristics and prognosis. Results: Among the 6 SS children (aged 2 months to 15 years; 5 males) weighed 5.6-17.1 kg. Three cases were infant type, the clinical manifestations were recurrent respiratory tract infection with growth retardation, including 2 cases with severe pulmonary hypertension, while 3 cases with adult type, were asymptomatic. Cardiac CTA imaging showed that the right single or all pulmonary veins descended through the diaphragm and converged into the inferior vena cava. One case was isolated infracardiac partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) without other malformations. The remaining 5 cases complicated with atrial septal defect, different vascular and trachea malformations as well as spinal malformations. Vascular malformations included pulmonary veins stenosis, abnormal origin of pulmonary artery branches, collateral branches of systemic artery supplying local lung tissue, and persistent left superior vena cava. The treatment varied according to the specific location of anomalous pulmonary venous connection, the degree of pulmonary hypertension and the severity of clinical symptoms. Four cases underwent one-stage radical surgery, one case accepted intervention to occlude the collateral artery which was supplying the right lower lung and received stage Ⅱ radical surgery half a year later, and the remaining one case died from pulmonary hypertension crisis preoperation. Conclusions: Isolated SS can easily miss diagnosis due to mild clinical symptoms. Patients with complicated malformations can benefit from combination therapy. SS associated with severe pulmonary hypertension can lead to early death. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of H1N1 influenza A-associated encephalopathy (IAE) in children. Methods: The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG) examinations and treatments of seven children with H1N1 IAE hospitalized in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from December 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Five of the seven children with H1N1 IAE were female. The age at admission was 4 years and 5 months (range 7 months-9 years). Neurological symptoms occurred simultaneously or early (0-3 days) after the flu-like symptom appeared. The main clinical manifestations of neurological symptoms were seizures (repeated seizures in five cases and status convulsion in two cases, including one case of unexpected fever and repeated seizures in a nine-year old girl) accompanied with altered consciousness (drowsiness in five cases and coma in two cases). Cranial MRI in three cases displayed multifocal lesions, mainly in the bilateral thalamus, brainstem and cerebellar hemisphere. MRI also showed reversible splenial lesion in the corpus callusumin in three cases. EEG tracings were characterized by diffuse slow wave activity in four cases, and status epilepticus was monitored in one case. All the 7 cases were treated with oral oseltamivir. Three cases were treated with pulsed methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. One case was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin alone and all the patients received oral oseltamivir. All the patients survived, with three patients had minor neurological sequelae at discharge. Conclusions: The main clinical manifestations of H1N1 IAE are seizures and altered consciousness. Cranial MRI combined with EEG is helpful for early diagnosis. Intravenous immunoglobulin and (or) methylprednisolone should be considered for severe cases.

Abstract
Zinc bioavailability to aquatic organisms varies greatly under different pH values. In the present study, five native species in China and four common international test species were selected to investigate the influence of changing pH on acute zinc toxicity. The results showed that the higher trophic levels exhibited increasing sensitivity to zinc as pH decreased. However, when the pH value was between 8 and 11, the acute toxicity of zinc was relatively constant. In addition, by using a species-sensitivity distribution (SSD) method, the short-term hazardous concentrations of zinc at different pH values (based on the 5th percentiles of the pH-specific SSDs) were determined to be 17.26 µg/L (pH 4), 48.31 µg/L (pH 5), 80.34 µg/L (pH 6) and 230.6 µg/L (pH 7), respectively. The present study provides useful information for deriving water quality criteria and assessing the risks of metals in the near future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the BRAF gene mutations in ameloblastic fibroma (AF), and to further analyze the relationship between the BRAF mutation and clinical characteristics so as to provide new reference to the study of AF's molecular pathology. METHODS Sixteen cases diagnosed as AF at the Department of Oral Pathology, Peking University School of Stomatology between January 1990 and December 2017 were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencings were used to detect the BRAF gene mutations. The clinicopathological data, such as the age, location of the lesion, symptoms and treatments were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The sixteen cases of AF involved nine women and seven men aged 2-67 years. Three lesions occurred in the maxilla and thirteen in the mandible. The most common presenting symptom of AF was a painless slowly enlarging mass with swelling. Ten patients received conservative treatment and the other six patients received radical surgery. Three cases relapsed during the study period. BRAF gene mutation was found in sixteen of all the sixteen samples analyzed (100%). The BRAF mutation was a point mutation with a thymine-adenine transversion at nucleotide 1 799 of 15 exons, resulting in a change at residue 600 that substituted glutamine for valine. This mutation was the strongest activator of the downstream RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK-MAPK signaling pathway. This helped to bring about a gain-of-function mutation due to a V600E substitution. Many studies identified that BRAF regulated survival, apoptosis, and proliferation of cells by inducing MAPK pathways activation. For the existing cases, none of the age, sex, location, recurrence and treatments had a statistically significant correlation with BRAF mutation. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated high prevalence of BRAF V600E mutation in AF. The pathogenic role remains to be clarified..

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) on pregnancy outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) following the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) by analyzing their pregnancy outcomes. Methods: The patients undergoing IVF-ET treatment diagnosed with PCOS in Peking University Third Hospital from May 2010 to December 2014 were investigated. According to the anti-thyroid antibodies (TPOAb or TGAb), patients were divided into AIT group and non-AIT group. The pregnancy outcomes of two groups were analysed for investigate the effect of AIT on pregnancy outcomes. Results: Four hundred and ninety patients with PCOS were enrolled, 119 (24.3%) of AIT group and 371 (75.7%) of non-AIT group. Patients with PCOS had a higher incidence (24.3%) of AIT. There was no correlation between AIT and the different pregnancy outcomes.TSH was negatively correlated with pregnancy as a risk factor. Hyperandrogenemia was negatively correlated with clinical pregnancy as a risk factor. Hyperprolactinemia was negatively correlated with delivery as a risk factor, while TSH was positively correlated with delivery. Conclusions: The incidence of AIT was higher in patients with PCOS. AIT was not the risk factor of adverse pregnancy outcomes for PCOS women undergoing IVF. The metabolic disorders (including hyperinsulinemia, hyperandrogenemia and hyperprolactinemia) were the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Patients in AIT group had the high TSH level. They should be received more care and monitoring to make it conducive to delivery.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the influencing factors on condom use among 35-years-or-older female sex workers (OFSWs) in Qingdao by using the three-level logistic model. Methods: From March to June 2014, OFSWs were recruited in Qingdao, using respondent-driven sampling. Related information on OFSWs and their recent five sexual partners (not including husband) were obtained by conducting a questionnaire survey on OFSWs. A Three-level logistic regression model was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of condom use between OFSWs and their sexual partners. Results: A total of 420 OFSWs participated the survey as well as information on 2 100 sexual partners. Results from the empty model showed that the use of condoms among OFSWs having an aggregation that related to the levels of working sites and their own behaviors. Results from the three-levels of logistic model analysis showed that, OFSWs that having had junior middle school education (OR=1.450, 95%CI: 1.054-1.994)/high school education or above (OR=2.264, 95%CI: 1.215-4.222), knowing the function of condom use (OR=2.004, 95%CI: 1.273-3.154) would have higher rates of condom use. OFSWs with higher score of attitude on condom use (OR=0.796, 95%CI: 0.745-0.849), having had syphilis infections in the past (OR=0.657, 95%CI: 0.478-0.902) would have lower rate of condom use. For the sexual partners, the rate of condom use among OFSWs' regular partners were higher than that of OFSWs' boyfriends (OR=15.291, 95%CI: 8.441-27.700; OR=29.032, 95%CI: 15.413-54.682). Conclusion: Condom use of OFSWs was affected by behaviors of both OFSWs themselves and their sexual partners. Prevention and control programs should focus on OFSWs and their sexual partners at the same time. The key intervention contents should include target populations as: OFSWs with low level of education, having had infections of syphilis, those who do not use condoms with their trusted partners.

Abstract
Objective: To study the correlation between the BRAF V600E mutation and the clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC), and to explore the application value of BRAF V600E mutation in PTC. Method: The BRAF V600E gene mutation was detected in 108 PTC cases and 30 control cases by qPCR. The results were statistically analyzed by using SPSS 21.0 software. Result: The BRAF V600E mutation was absent in the control group. The BRAF V600E mutation rate was 72.20% in 108 PTC cases. Compared with patients with wild type,the mean age of patients with the mutant BRAF V600E was significantly older(P<0.05). BRAF V600E mutations were associated with PTC tissue subtypes and central area lymph node metastasis(P<0.05). BRAF V600E mutations were not correlated with tumor diameter, patient gender, multifocality, tumor site, concomitant disease, lymph node metastasis in side region of neck, capsule invasion, and TNM staging(P>0.05). Conclusion: The value of BRAF V600E mutation in the prognosis of PTC remains to be studied. BRAF V600E mutation is of value for pathological diagnosis of PTC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and factors related to the immediate success rate of radiofrequency ablation. Methods: Patients diagnosed as idiopathic RVOT arrhythmia in Fuwai Hospital from February 2009 to January 2013 were retrospectively screened. Patients with structural heart disease or inherited arrhythmia were excluded. All patients underwent endocardial electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation. Baseline clinical and operation records were collected and analyzed. Immediate success rate was defined as no inducible ventricular arrhythmia by isoprinosine and electrophysiological induction at the end of ablation. The origins of idiopathic RVOT were classified as septal, anterior, posterior, free wall site, epicardial and RVOT-aorta root site. Results: A total of 468 patients were finally included, and the age was (40.4±13.3) years old and 60.5%(283/468) patients were female. Immediate radiofrequency success rate was 89.3%(418/468). Patients were divided into ablation success group (n=418) and ablation failure group (n=50). Percent of female patients and patients with interventricular septal origin was significantly higher in the ablation success group than in ablation failure group (261(62.4%) vs. 22 (44.0%) , P=0.01, and 233(55.7%) vs. 18(36.0%), P=0.005), while percent of patients with epicardial origin was significantly lower in the ablation success group than in ablation failure group (17(4.1%) vs. 11(22.0%), P<0.001). Immediate success rate was the highest for patients with the septal origin and the lowest for patients with epicardial origin (92.8%(233/251) vs. 60.7%(17/28), P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the origin site of VAs was the most important independent factor related to the success rate of ablation. Compared with the septal origin patients, patients with RVOT-aorta root and epicardial origin VAs faced with 1.82-fold and 8.26-fold increased risk of failed ablation, respectively (OR=2.82, 95%CI 1.05-7.57, and OR=9.26, 95%CI 3.60-23.86). Sex category was not the independent risk factor for failed ablation(OR=1.76, 95%CI 0.93-3.33, P=0.08) . Conclusions: The immediate success rate of radiofrequency catheter ablation for idiopathic RVOT ventricular arrhythmia is relative high, however, immediate success rate of radiofrequency catheter ablation is relatively low for patients with epicardial and RVOT-aorta root origin arrhythmia and VAs origin is an independent risk factor of immediate ablation success rate.
