Abstract
To achieve stable operation of an ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) system in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), a real-time impedance matching system needs to be established to respond to antenna load variation during long pulse discharges. A new impedance matching method based on capacitors was proposed in this study. By considering the reflected voltage of the transmission line as the feedback parameter, the real-time impedance-matching system can quickly control the motors based on a programmable logic controller to determine the minimum reflection voltage. A real-time impedance matching system was successfully used on the test platform in the laboratory and on the ICRH system in EAST. A significant result is that we can match the variable impedance within 1 s by suitably adjusting the motor controller to ensure high-power and long-pulse operation of the ICRH system to satisfy the requirements of the EAST experiment.

Abstract
The Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency (ICRF) heating system of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) is intended to provide plasma heating with a minimum power output of 20 MW, which demands the Radio Frequency (RF) window to possess a higher performance requirement. This paper presents the design of an RF window for the CFETR ICRF heating system and focuses primarily on the design and confirmation of its electromagnetic performance. The RF window can be effectively matched in the operating frequency range and has an S11 of under -59 dB. The geometry of the cone type ceramics was optimized to reduce the surface tangential electric field distribution. An analysis of the electric field distribution of the RF window at 50 kV indicates that the pressure side was below 2.3 kV/mm and the vacuum side was below 1.3 kV/mm. Furthermore, a transmission line test bench with an open-terminated setup was constructed to conduct withstand voltage tests on the mockup, and the results showed that the mockup could withstand 62 kV for 2 s and 47 kV for 120 s.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differential diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A diagnostic test. In this prospective study, patients with T2DM who underwent both IVIM-DWI and renal biopsy at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between October 2017 and September 2021 were consecutively enrolled. IVIM-DWI parameters including perfusion fraction (f), pure diffusion coefficient (D), and pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*) were measured in the renal cortex, medulla, and parenchyma. Patients were divided into the DN group and NDRD group based on the renal biopsy results. IVIM-DWI parameters, clinical information, and diabetes-related biochemical indicators between the two groups were compared using Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. The correlation of IVIM-DWI parameters with diabetic nephropathy histological scores were analyzed using Spearman's correlation analyzes. The diagnostic efficiency of IVIM-DWI parameters for distinguishing between DN and NDRD were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: A total of 27 DN patients and 23 NDRD patients were included in this study. The DN group comprised 19 male and 8 female patients, with an average age of 52±9 years. The NDRD group comprised 16 male and 7 female patients, with an average age of 49±10 years. The DN group had a higher D* value in the renal cortex and a lower f value in the renal medulla than the NDRD group (9.84×10-3 mm2/s vs. 7.35×10-3 mm2/s, Z=-3.65; 41.01% vs. 46.74%, Z=-2.29; all P<0.05). The renal medulla D* value was negatively correlated with DN grades, interstitial lesion score, and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) score (r=-0.571, -0.409, -0.409; all P<0.05) while the renal cortex f value was positively correlated with vascular sclerosis score (r=0.413, P=0.032). The renal cortex D* value had the highest area under the curve (AUC) for discriminating between the DN and NDRD groups (AUC=0.802, sensitivity 91.3%, specificity 55.6%). Conclusion: IVIM-derived renal cortex D* value can be used non-invasively to differentiate DN from NDRD in patients with T2DM that can potentially facilitate individualized treatment planning for diabetic patients.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the factors associated with severe bleeding after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in male patients and evaluate the efficacy of interventional embolization. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted at Nankai Hospital of Tianjin, China, from January 2018 to October 2021. The clinical data of 230 male patients with upper urinary tract stones were analyzed. The observation indicators included age, hypertension, diabetes, renal function abnormalities, history of preoperative anticoagulant use, stone size, stone type, number of puncture channels, operation time and degree of hydronephrosis. To describe the clinical characteristics of bleeding after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in men, and analyze the factors associated with severe bleeding after PCNL. Single factor analysis was performed using the Chi-square (χ2) test, and multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression analysis. Results: Univariate analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (χ2=4.90, P=0.027), abnormal renal function (χ2=18.32, P<0.001), history of preoperative oral anticoagulants (χ2=5.10, P=0.024), abnormal bleeding and coagulation function (χ2=8.22, P=0.004) and the number of puncture channels (χ2=22.08, P<0.001) were the related factors affecting bleeding after PCNL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (P=0.032), abnormal renal function (P<0.001), and the number of puncture channels (P<0.001) were the independent risk factors of bleeding after PCNL. Of the 28 patients with bleeding after PCNL, 25 were treated with interventional embolization, with a technical success rate of 100.0% and a clinical success rate of 89.3%. Conclusions: For patients with renal calculi and comorbid diabetes, renal function abnormalities, and multiple punctures, relevant preventive measures should be actively administered before PCNL to reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding. For patients with severe bleeding of the kidney after PCNL, TAE is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bone metabolism can be influenced by a range of factors. We selected children with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) and lifestyles similar to those of healthy children to control for the confounding factors that may influence bone metabolism. We aimed to identify the specific effects of epilepsy and/or anti-seizure medications (ASMs) on bone metabolism. METHODS Patients with SeLECTS were divided into an untreated group and a monotherapy group, and the third group was a healthy control group. We determined the levels of various biochemical markers of bone metabolism, including procollagen type I nitrogenous propeptide (PINP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC), collagen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX), calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D3 (VD3 ). RESULTS A total of 1487 patients (from 19 centers) were diagnosed with SeLECTS; 1032 were analyzed, including 117 patients who did not receive any ASMs (untreated group), 643 patients who received only one ASM (monotherapy group), and 272 children in the healthy control group. Except for VD3 , other bone metabolism of the three groups were different (p < .001). Bone metabolism was significantly lower in the untreated group than the healthy control group (p < .05). There were significant differences between the monotherapy and healthy control group in the level of many markers. However, when comparing the monotherapy and untreated groups, the results were different; oxcarbazepine, levetiracetam, and topiramate had no significant effect on bone metabolism. Phosphorus and magnesium were significantly lower in the valproic acid group than the untreated group (adjusted p < .05, Cliff's delta .282-.768). CTX was significantly higher in the lamotrigine group than in the untreated group (adjusted p = .012, Cliff's delta = .316). SIGNIFICANCE Epilepsy can affect many aspects of bone metabolism. After controlling epilepsy and other confounders that affect bone metabolism, we found that the effects of ASMs on bone metabolism differed. Oxcarbazepine, levetiracetam, and topiramate did not affect bone metabolism, and lamotrigine corrected some of the abnormal markers of bone metabolism in patients with epilepsy.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test. Methods: This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ (2) test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results: After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea (Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic efficiency and clinical application value of an artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis model based on a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D CNN) on echocardiographic videos of patients with hypertensive heart disease, chronic renal failure (CRF) and hypothyroidism with cardiac involvement. Methods: This study is a retrospective study. The patients with hypertensive heart disease, CRF and hypothyroidism with cardiac involvement, who admitted in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from April 2019 to October 2021, were enrolled. Patients were divided into hypertension group, CRF group, and hypothyroidism group. Additionally, a simple random sampling method was used to select control healthy individuals, who underwent physical examination at the same period. The echocardiographic video data of enrolled participants were analyzed. The video data in each group was divided into a training set and an independent testing set in a ratio of 5 to 1. The temporal and spatial characteristics of videos were extracted using an inflated 3D convolutional network (I3D). The artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis model was trained and tested. There was no case overlapped between the training and validation sets. A model was established according to cases or videos based on video data from 3 different views (single apical four chamber (A4C) view, single parasternal left ventricular long-axis (PLAX) view and all views). The statistical analysis of diagnostic performance was completed to calculate sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve (AUC). The time required for the artificial intelligence and ultrasound physicians to process cases was compared. Results: A total of 730 subjects aged (41.9±12.7) years were enrolled, including 362 males (49.6%), and 17 703 videos were collected. There were 212 cases in the hypertensive group, 210 cases in the CRF group, 105 cases in the hypothyroidism group, and 203 cases in the normal control group. The diagnostic performance of the model predicted by cases based on single PLAX view and all views data was excellent: (1) in the hypertensive group, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of models based on all views data were 97%, 89% and 0.93, respectively, while those of models based on a single PLAX view were 94%, 95%, and 0.94, respectively; (2) in the CRF group, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of models based on all views data were 97%, 95% and 0.96, respectively, while those of models based on a single PLAX view were 97%, 89%, and 0.93, respectively; (3) in the hypothyroidism group, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of models based on all views data were 64%, 100% and 0.82, respectively, while those of models based on a single PLAX view were 82%, 89%, and 0.86, respectively. The time required for the 3D CNN model to measure and analyze the echocardiographic videos of each subject was significantly shorter than that for the ultrasound physicians ((23.96±6.65)s vs. (958.25±266.17)s, P<0.001). Conclusions: The artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis model based on 3D CNN can extract the dynamic temporal and spatial characteristics of echocardiographic videos jointly, and quickly and efficiently identify hypertensive heart disease and cardiac changes caused by CRF and hypothyroidism.

Abstract
Objectives: To construct a nomogram incorporating important prognostic factors for predicting the overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), the aim being to accurately predict such patients' survival rates. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. Relevant clinical and follow-up data of patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases treated by CRS + HIPEC in the Department of Peritoneal Cancer Surgery, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from 2007 January to 2020 December were collected and subjected to Cox proportional regression analysis. All included patients had been diagnosed with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer and had no detectable distant metastases to other sites. Patients who had undergone emergency surgery because of obstruction or bleeding, or had other malignant diseases, or could not tolerate treatment because of severe comorbidities of the heart, lungs, liver or kidneys, or had been lost to follow-up, were excluded. Factors studied included: (1) basic clinicopathological characteristics; (2) details of CRS+HIPEC procedures; (3) overall survival rates; and (4) independent factors that influenced overall survival; the aim being to identify independent prognostic factors and use them to construct and validate a nomogram. The evaluation criteria used in this study were as follows. (1) Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) scores were used to quantitatively assess the quality of life of the study patients. The lower the score, the worse the patient's condition. (2) A peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was calculated by dividing the abdominal cavity into 13 regions, the highest score for each region being three points. The lower the score, the greater is the value of treatment. (3) Completeness of cytoreduction score (CC), where CC-0 and CC-1 denote complete eradication of tumor cells and CC-2 and CC-3 incomplete reduction of tumor cells. (4) To validate and evaluate the nomogram model, the internal validation cohort was bootstrapped 1000 times from the original data. The accuracy of prediction of the nomogram was evaluated with the consistency coefficient (C-index), and a C-index of 0.70-0.90 suggest that prediction by the model was accurate. Calibration curves were constructed to assess the conformity of predictions: the closer the predicted risk to the standard curve, the better the conformity. Results: The study cohort comprised 240 patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer who had undergone CRS+HIPEC. There were 104 women and 136 men of median age 52 years (10-79 years) and with a median preoperative KPS score of 90 points. There were 116 patients (48.3%) with PCI≤20 and 124 (51.7%) with PCI>20. Preoperative tumor markers were abnormal in 175 patients (72.9%) and normal in 38 (15.8%). HIPEC lasted 30 minutes in seven patients (2.9%), 60 minutes in 190 (79.2%), 90 minutes in 37 (15.4%), and 120 minutes in six (2.5%). There were 142 patients (59.2%) with CC scores 0-1 and 98 (40.8%) with CC scores 2-3. The incidence of Grade III to V adverse events was 21.7% (52/240). The median follow-up time is 15.3 (0.4-128.7) months. The median overall survival was 18.7 months, and the 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 65.8%, 37.2% and 25.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that KPS score, preoperative tumor markers, CC score, and duration of HIPEC were independent prognostic factors. In the nomogram constructed with the above four variables, the predicted and actual values in the calibration curves for 1, 2 and 3-year survival rates were in good agreement, the C-index being 0.70 (95% CI: 0.65-0.75). Conclusions: Our nomogram, which was constructed with KPS score, preoperative tumor markers, CC score, and duration of HIPEC, accurately predicts the survival probability of patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer treated with cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) based models in the assessment of extra-prostatic extension (EPE) of prostate cancer. Methods: This retrospective study included 168 consecutive men with prostate cancers [aged 48 to 82 (66.6±6.8) years] who underwent radical prostatectomy and preoperative mpMRI examinations at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from January 2021 to February 2022. According to European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) score, EPE grade and mEPE score, all cases were independently evaluated by two radiologists, with disagreement reviewed by a senior radiologist as the final result. The diagnostic performance of each MRI-based model for pathologic EPE prediction was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), and the differences between the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) were compared using the DeLong test. The weighted Kappa test was used to evaluate the inter-reader agreement of each MRI-based model. Results: A total of 62 (36.9%) prostate cancer patients had pathologic confirmed EPE after radical prostatectomy. The AUC of ESUR score, EPE grade and mEPE score for predicting pathologic EPE were 0.836 (95%CI: 0.771-0.888), 0.834 (95%CI: 0.769-0.887) and 0.785 (95%CI: 0.715-0.844), respectively. The AUC of ESUR score and EPE grade were both superior to that of mEPE score with significant differences (all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the ESUR score and EPE grade models (P=0.900). EPE grading and mEPE score had good inter-reader consistency, with weighted Kappa values of 0.65 (95%CI: 0.56-0.74) and 0.74 (95%CI: 0.64-0.84), respectively. The inter-reader consistency of ESUR score was moderate, and the weighted Kappa value was 0.52 (95%CI: 0.40-0.63). Conclusion: All MRI-based models showed good preoperative diagnostic value in predicting EPE, among which the EPE grade resulted in more reliable performance with substantial inter-reader agreement.

Abstract
The EAST plasmas heated with deuterium neutral beam injection and ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) have been simulated by the TRANSP code. The analysis has been conducted using the full wave solver TORIC5, the radio frequency (RF)-kick operator, and NUBEAM to model the RF heating effects on fast ion velocity distribution. In this work, we present several simulated results compared with experiments for high power EAST scenarios, indicating that the interactions between ICRH and fast ions can significantly accelerate fast ions, which are confirmed by the increased neutron yield and broadened neutron emission spectrum measurements.

Abstract
Objective: To quantitatively evaluate myocardial work in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis by using left ventricular pressure-strain loop. Methods: 70 cases with hepatitis B cirrhosis who were hospitalized in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March to December 2020 were selected as the study group. Patients were divided into three subgroups according to the Child-Pugh score of liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A, B, and C groups: 25, 25, and 20 patients, respectively). At the same time, 25 healthy volunteers were included as the control group. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), global myocardial work index (GWI), global work efficiency (GWE), global constructive work (GCW), and global wasted work (GWW) were obtained by applying pressure-strain loops. The differences were analyzed and compared among the four groups parameters. Results: Compared with the control group, the Child-Pugh class A group had decreased GLS, while Child-Pugh class B and C had decreased GLS, GWI, GWE, GCW, and increased GWW, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with Child-Pugh class A group, Child-Pugh class B group had decreased GLS, GWE, and increased GWW, while Child-Pugh class C group had decreased GLS,GWI, GWE, GCW, and increased GWW, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with Child-Pugh class B group, Child-Pugh class C group had decreased GLS, GWI, GWE, GCW, and increased GWW, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The pressure-strain loop can detect early myocardial dysfunction, and has a certain value in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of myocardial function changes in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.

Abstract
Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH), one of the main auxiliary methods, for high-power and long-pulse plasma heating had been developed in Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). An impedance matching system, one important part of ICRH, had been developed for high-power injection and transmitter protection by reducing the reflected power from the antenna. The input impedance in the outlet of the stub tuner can be measured by voltage-current probes installed on the coaxial transmission line between the antenna and triple liquid stub tuners, and the optimum liquid levels in the stub tuners can be calculated based on the input impedance. The calculation and adjustment process of the optimum liquid levels are described comprehensively in this article. Finally, impedance matching had been achieved between two shots during EAST experiments. In the near future, a real-time impedance matching system will be developed to prevent large variations of the ICRH antenna impedance and achieve steady-state and long-pulse operation with the ICRH system.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the perioperative therapeutic effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in children with congenital spinal deformity and summarize the clinical experience. Methods: Fifty-nine pediatric patients with congenital spinal deformities admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital from May 2020 to January 2021 were included in this study, and all patients underwent posterior spinal osteotomy orthopedic implant fusion with internal fixation. There were 22 males and 37 females, aged (7.4±4.1) years. Patients were divided into ERAS group (n=29) and control group (n=30) according to the management model. Patients in the ERAS group were managed with an accelerated recovery management model during the perioperative period, which mainly included: high protein diet, shortened fasting time, optimized anesthesia protocol, and multimodal analgesia. Patients in the control group received the traditional perioperative management model. The indexes of surgery, diet, pain score and laboratory tests were compared between the two groups. Results: All patients completed the surgery successfully. The mean temperature and pain scores of patients in the ERAS group were lower than those in the control group at 3 days postoperatively (P<0.05). The time to exhaustion and defecation in the ERAS group was (1.0±0.8) d and (2.5±0.9) d postoperatively, both significantly earlier than those in the control group ((3.4±0.8) d and (4.0±1.1) d) (both P<0.05). C-reactive protein was 38(8,46) mg/L in patients of the ERAS group on the day 3 postoperatively, which was significantly lower than that in the control group 47(22,93) mg/L (P=0.023). The hemoglobin level on postoperative day 3 was (110.7±9.6) g/L in the ERAS group, which was significantly higher than that in the control group ((104.5±11.4) g/L) (P=0.029). Postoperative complications occurred in 8(27.6%) and 9(30.0%) patients in the ERAS and control groups, respectively (P=1.000), with mild abdominal pain and bloating being the most common complications in both groups, most of which were not treated specifically. Conclusion: ERAS is a safe and effective perioperative management mode for children with congenital spinal deformity. Compared with the traditional method, it can significantly improve the treatment efficiency and deserve clinical application.

Abstract
Objective: To study the group noise exposure level of typical coal-fired power plants and explore the establishment of risk assessment methods for noise exposed posts. Methods: In April 2020, 295 typical workers in 11 coal-fired power plants were selected as the study subjects. The noise exposure dose of typical posts and the proportion of exposure groups under different exposure doses were analyzed, and the risk assessment based on the dose-response relationship was conducted. Results: The exposure level of typical noise posts in coal-fired power plants was (84.24±4.10) dB (A) , and the over-standard rate was 44.07% (130/295) . The highest noise over-standard rate in main posts were desulfurization inspectors (51.52%) , followed by steam turbine inspectors (47.92%) and belt inspectors (46.32%) . Taking 30 years as an example, the incidence rate of occupational noise deafness of noise-exposed posts in coal-fired power plants was 12.30%. The position with the highest incidence rate was belt inspector (13.21%) , followed by steam turbine inspector (12.97%) , desulfurization inspectors (12.42%) , boiler inspectors (11.59%) and chemical water inspectors (6.89%) . Conclusion: The risk of noise exposure in coal-fired power plants is relatively high. Comprehensive control measures are recommended to effectively reduce the risk of noise deafness.

Abstract
Rubia plants are one of the most important plant resources possessing significant commercial and medicinal values. Plant endophytes could benefit their host plants in different ways. Rubiaceae-type cyclopeptides (RAs), mainly isolated from Rubia plants, have attracted considerable attentions for their distinctive bicyclic structures and significant antitumor activities, but their contents in plants are low. The aim of this study is to investigate the diversity of endophytic fungi in Rubia plants and their potential for production of RAs. In this work, 143 endophytic fungi isolates were obtained from two Rubia plants. Phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the ITS rDNA sequences, and the isolates were classified into 29 genera. Among them, four endophytic fungal strains were found to produce anti-tumour RAs by LC-MS/MS analysis. This work successfully provides valuable knowledges of endophytic fungi microbiome in Rubia plants for agricultural and industrial applications, and exploits a new environmental-friendly resource of RAs.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of spleen density in predicting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. Methods: A total of 415 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical resection in the Department of General Surgery, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2012 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Of the patients, there were 295 males and 120 femles with a median age of 59 years (range 28-83 years). The patients were divided into diffuse decreased spleen density group (DROSD) (spleen density≤43.0 HU, n=118) and non-diffuse decreased spleen density group (N-DROSD) (spleen density>43.0 HU, n=297) according to the density of spleen detected by computed tomography (CT). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify the checkpoint of spleen density in predicting the recurrence of the gastric cancer in those patients. The relationship with clinicopathological factors and prognosis in the two groups were further analyzed. Results: The optimal critical value of spleen density for predicting postoperative recurrence of gastric cancer was 43.0 HU, the area under the curve of ROC was 0.608, and the sensitivity and specificity was 84.9% and 40.4%, respectively. Spleen density was related to albumin, hemoglobin, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and tumor diameter in patients with gastric cancer (all P<0.05). The 5-year disease-free survival rate and 5-year disease-specific survival rate of all the patients was 45.5% and 50.1%, respectively. Univariate survival analysis showed that age, NLR, PLR, tumor location, tumor diameter, Lauren classification, TNM stage, nerve invasion, vascular invasion, DROSD and adjuvant chemotherapy were all related to the 5-year disease-free survival rate (all P<0.05); Age, NLR, tumor location, tumor diameter, Lauren classification, TNM stage, nerve invasion, vascular invasion, DROSD and adjuvant chemotherapy were all related to the 5-year disease-specific survival rate (all P<0.05). Multivariate survival analysis showed that high NLR level (HR=1.501, 95%CI: 1.136-1.984), late TNM stage (HR=2.559, 95%CI: 1.850-3.539), DROSD (HR=2.093, 95%CI: 1.571-2.788) and no adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=1.583, 95%CI: 1.204-2.083) were independent risk factor for the 5-year disease-free survival rate (all P<0.05). Late TNM stage (HR=1.938, 95%CI: 1.395-2.692), DROSD (HR=1.566, 95%CI: 1.180-2.078) and no adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=1.336, 95%CI: 1.016-1.758) were independent risk factors for the 5-year disease-free survival rate (all P<0.05). For stage Ⅰ patients, the 5-year disease-free survival rates of DROSD group and N-DROSD group was 78.6% and 83.7%, respectively; and the 5-year disease-specific survival rates was 85.7% and 89.8%, respectively (both P>0.05). For stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients, the 5-year disease-free survival rates of DROSD group and N-DROSD group was 15.4% and 48.8%, respectively, and the 5-year disease-specific survival rates was 17.3% and 54.0%, respectively (all P<0.001). Conclusion: As an imaging evaluation method, spleen density is a new tool, which can be used as a prognostic indicator for gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the safety and effectiveness of a novel stent assisted intestinal bypass for preventing anastomotic leakage in laparoscopic assisted radical resection of rectal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 9 patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical resection and stent assisted intestinal bypass from September 2019 to June 2020 at the Department of Anus & Intestine Surgery, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 6 males and 3 females, aged (62.1±6.8) years (range: 53 to 75 years), underwent laparoscopic assisted radical resection of rectal cancer and stent assisted intestinal bypass. A degradable diverting stent was placed at the end of the ileum, and a drainage tube was placed at the proximal end of the stent to bypass the intestinal contents. After operation, the patients were given a diet with less residue. From the 14th day after operation, abdomen X-ray films were taken every 5 to 7 days to observe the destination of the stent dynamically. When the stent was observed to be disintegrated into pieces, the drainage tube was clamped for 3 days to observe any side effects before the tube was removed. The operation time, the time of removing the bypass tube and the total hospital stay were recorded. Results: Laparoscopic assisted radical resection of rectal cancer and stent assisted intestinal bypass were successfully performed in all patients. The operation time was (230.4±48.0) minutes (range: 150 to 318 minutes), and the time of removing shunt tube was (28.8±4.6) days (range: 22 to 34 days). The duration of hospitalization was (21.0±8.6) days (range: 9 to 34 days). Postoperative pathological examination showed 7 cases of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, 1 case of moderately well differentiated adenocarcinoma and 1 case of mucinous adenocarcinoma. There were 2 cases of T1, 4 cases of T2 and 3 cases of T3. The number of lymph node dissection was 13.4±3.5 (range: 6 to 18), 3 cases were positive and 6 cases were negative. The post-operation follow-up time was 6 to 16 months, no anastomotic leakage or stenosis was found. Conclusion: Stent assisted intestinal bypass for the prevention of anastomotic leakage in laparoscopic assisted radical resection of rectal cancer is safe and feasible, and shows good short-term effect.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of duodenal ligation on gastroesophageal reflux and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. Methods: Wistar rats were randomized into the control (Ctrl) group, bleomycin (BLM) group, duodenal ligation (GER) group and duodenal ligation plus bleomycin treatment (BLM+GER) group. At day 0 (d0), duodenum ligation was performed in the GER and the BLM+GER group through an open-abdomen surgery at 1.0 cm below the pylorus by about 30% of the circumference. Meanwhile, sham operation was performed in the Ctrl and the BLM group with similar procedures to the above without ligation of the duodenum. At day 14, bleomycin solution (5 mg/kg, for the BLM and BLM+GER groups) or saline (for the Ctrl and GER groups) was intratracheally instilled. Rats were sacrificed at d28 or at d42. HE, Masson's trichrome or TUNEL staining was performed on lung sections of the groups. The levels of hyrdoxyproline (HYP) or malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured respectively by alkaline hydrolysis or thiobarbituric acid colorimetry. The levels of pepsin and cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples were assessed by ELISA. Western blot or RT-PCR was used to quantify relative lung expression of proteins or mRNA, respectively. Results: Lungs of the GER group rats were presented with mild inflammatory cell infiltration. Alveolitis and lung fibrosis was prominent in the BLM group but even more severe in the BLM+GER group. Of the Ctrl, GER, BLM and BLM+GER group, the average numbers of apoptotic cells per each magnified field (×200) on d28 lung sections was (5.6±3.0), (6.4±5.3), (15.4±5.3) and (18.4±9.1), respectively (P=0.008); the proportion (%) of blue-stained area under Masson's trichrome at d42 was (21.5±2.8), (23.4±2.5), (34.0±5.8) and (41.3±2.9) (P<0.05); the HYP contents (mg/L) at d42 of each group was (0.77±0.01), (1.26±0.01), (2.02±0.01) and (2.39±0.01) (P<0.01); the BALF levels of MDA (μmol/L) at d42 were (0.51±0.09), (0.87±0.12), (1.40±0.31) and (1.71±0.12) (P<0.001), and differences of these three indices at d42 reached statistical significance when comparing the Ctrl or GER group with the BLM or BLM+GER group (all P<0.05). The levels of pepsin, pH, interleukin (IL)-1β, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and HYP at d28 and d42 were statistically different between the GER group and the Ctrl group (all P<0.05). As compared with the BLM group, the values of TGF-β1, HYP, p-Smad3, vimentin, p-ERK1/2 and cleaved caspase-3 at d28 and d42 were different in the BLM+GER group (all P<0.05). At both d28 and d42, the BALF levels of pepsin and pH were statistically different between the BLM and the Ctrl group, or between the BLM+GER group and the GER group (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Gastroesophageal reflux is induced through duodenal ligation, which activates proinflammatory and profibrotic signals in the lungs and significantly aggravates bleomycin-induced lung injury and fibrosis. In addition, pulmonary fibrosis may induce or worsen the extent of reflux.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a kind of primary malignant tumor of bone originated from mesenchymal tissue, which mainly occurs in children and adolescents, and presents the characteristics of high malignancy, rapid growth, early metastasis and poor prognosis. Currently, most of the studies at home and abroad mainly focused on therapeutic procedures. However, reliable prediction indices or evaluation systems are also pivotal for monitoring disease change, guiding treatment and evaluating prognosis. Multiple clinical predictors have been reported to be related to the prognosis of osteosarcoma, which can be roughly divided into 9 categories according to their characteristics. Each kind of predictor owns its inherent advantage and disadvantage, and full understanding of them and their characteristics can be helpful to improve the prognosis of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
S100 calcium binding protein P (S100P) and miR-495 are aberrantly expressed and exert essential roles in cancers. However, the mechanisms of miR-495-S100P in pancreatic cancer are yet to be illustrated. Thus, we explored the regulatory functions of miR-495-S100P axis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells growth and invasion. In this study, we identified that S100P was upregulated in pancreatic adenocarcinoma by bioinformatics analysis of the GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus database) microarray dataset (GSE16515). Western blotting and luciferase reporter gene analysis exhibited that miR-495 negatively determined the level of S100P via binging to its 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs). A series of functional experiments indicated that upregulation of miR-495 or S100P knockdown suppressed pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells proliferation, invasion, and promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, the expression of S100P was negatively associated with the level of miR-495 in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) pancreatic adenocarcinoma case-cohort. Besides, reintroduction of S100P debilitated the anti-cancer action of miR-495 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. Our data indicated that miR-495 performed suppressive roles in pancreatic adenocarcinoma through targeting S100P.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate postoperative complications of patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy followed by radical gastrectomy, and to analyze their influence on the prognosis. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was used. Case inclusion criteria: (1) gastric adenocarcinoma confirmed by histopathology; (2) preoperative imaging examination showed no distant metastasis or peritoneal dissemination; (3) undergoing radical gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection after neoadjuvant therapy; (4) complete clinicopathological and follow-up data. According to the above criteria, clinical data of 490 gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College from January 2008 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected, including 358 males and 132 females with mean age of (55.0±10.6) years. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens included SOX (S-1+ oxaliplatin, n=151), XELOX (capecitabine+oxaliplatin, n=155), FLOT (docetaxel+oxaliplatin+fluorouracil, n=66), and DOS (docetaxel+ oxaliplatin+S-1, n=68). Preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy was performed in 100 patients. SOX regimen was used for 2-4 cycles as induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (3D IMRT+S-1). Postoperative complications were defined as surgery-related complications, mainly including hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, obstruction, anastomotic stenosis, pulmonary infection, abdominal infection, etc. Postoperative complications were graded according to Clavien-Dindo classification. Log-rank test and Cox regression model were used for univanriate multivariate prognostic analysis, respectively. Results: A total of 101 complications ocaured after operation in 87 (17.8%) patients, including 29 cases of major complications (Clavien-Dindo III to V), and 58 cases of minor complications (Clavien-Dindo I to II). Multivariate analysis showed that age > 65 years (HR=3.077, 95% CI: 1.827-5.184, P<0.001) and total gastrectomy (HR=1.735, 95% CI: 1.069-2.814, P=0.026) were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with gastric cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy and radical gastrectomy (both P<0.05). The follow-up period was 0.7 to 131.8 months (median 21.5 months), and the 5-year overall survival rate was 47.4%. The 5-year overall survival rates of the complication group (87 cases) and the non-complication group (403 cases) were 33.2% and 50.9%, respectively (P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age (HR=1.906, 95% CI: 1.248-2.913, P=0.003), ypTNM II to III stage (II stage: HR=5.853, 95% CI: 1.778-19.260, P=0.004; III stage: HR=10.800, 95% CI: 3.411-34.189, P<0.001), surgery time>3.5 h (HR=1.492, 95% CI: 1.095-2.033, P=0.011), total gastrectomy (HR=1.657, 95% CI: 1.216-2.257, P=0.001) and postoperative complications (HR=1.614, 95% CI: 1.125-2.315, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for prognosis, and postoperative adjuvant therapy (HR=0.578, 95% CI: 0.421-0.794, P=0.001) was an independent protective factor for prognosis. Conclusions: The occurrence of postoperative complications in gastric cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy is closely related to the age of the patients and the range of surgical resection. It is beneficial to improve the prognosis for these patients by paying more attention to the prevention of postoperative complications and the reinforcement of postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To preliminarily explore the treatment effect of nivolumab on Chinese non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases, and further enrich the evidences of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody in the treatment of NSCLC patients with brain metastases. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 22 NSCLC patients with brain metastases treated with nivolumab were collected. The electronic imaging data were collected to confirm the treatment effect and time point of disease progression, and the survival data of the patients were obtained through follow-up. Results: Twenty-one patients were evaluated for the intracranial treatment effect. The intracerebral objective response rate (IORR) was 28.6%, the intracranial disease control rate (IDCR) was 47.6%. The median intracranial progression-free-survival (iPFS) of all the 22 patients was 5.2 months. Both the 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 56.7%. Conclusions: The treatment effect of PD-1 monoclonal antibody on NSCLC patients with brain metastases is similar as those without brain metastases.

Abstract
Effectiveness of biological activated carbon (BAC) filter in removing disinfection byproducts (DBPs) precursors of micro-polluted lake water for one year was conducted. The formation potential (FP) of DBPs (trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) and Nitrosamines (NAs)), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), molecular weight (MW) distribution and excitation emission matrix fluorescence (EEM) of dissolved organic material (DOM) in the influent and effluent of BAC were determined. The results indicated that the removal efficiency (RE) of DOC ranged from 42.9-28.3%. Neither virgin GAC nor long-term operated BAC could efficiently dispose of THMs and HAAs precursors (RE from 35.2-18.8%, from 42 to 8.4%, respectively), however, BAC still showed good ability in removal of NAs precursors after a year operation, of which RE just dropped from 81.7-69.6%. There was strong correlation between RE of NAs precursors and DOC with small MW (<0.5 kDa). The removal of HAAs precursors showed relatively close relation to aromatic protein-like components and soluble microbial pollutants (SMPs). Weak direct relationship was found between the water quality parameters and THMs precursors.

Abstract
Objective: Aanalysis the effect of booster one dose of hepatitis B vaccine after 21-32 years of primary immunization in Zhengding Country of Hebei Province. Methods: A total of 322 participants who were born between 1986 and 1996, received a full course of primary vaccination with plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine (HepB), had no experience with booster vaccination, were HBsAg, anti-HBcnegative, had anti-HBs<10 mIU/ml, completed the booster and had laboratory results were enrolled between August 2017 to February 2018. A simple random method was uesd to randomly assigned 322 subjects to two groups, receiving a booster dose of HepB derived from either Saccharomyces cerevisiae [HepB (SC), (151 cases)] or Chinese hamster ovary-derived HepB [HepB (CHO), (171 cases)], the dose was 20 μg. Blood samples were collected 30 days after boosting and quantitatively tested for the geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-HBs to assess immunological effect. The related influencing factors of GMC and seroconversion rates of anti-HBs were analyzed by multiple linear regression and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: The 266 subjects (82.61%) had anti-HBs≥ 10 mIU/ml, and GMC was (131.63±12.94) mIU/ml.The seroconversion rates of anti-HBs in the anti-HBs<2.5 mIU/ml group and 2.5-10 mIU/ml group were 74.54% (161 cases) and 99.06% (105 cases), respectively (P<0.001).The seroconversion rates of anti-HBs after one dose of HepB (CHO) was higher than that of one dose of HepB (SC), the seroconversion rates were 87.13% (149 cases) and 77.48% (117 cases), respectively (P=0.023). Participants boostered with HepB (CHO) was the factor influencing the effect of strengthening immunization compared with boostered with HepB (SC), and OR (95%CI) was 1.91 (1.02-3.56) (P=0.042).Compared with anti-HBs<2.5 mIU/ml, prebooster anti-HBs was between 2.5 mIU/ml and 10 mIU/ml was the related factor of seroconversion rates of anti-HBs after booster immunization, and OR (95%CI) was 36.15 (4.91-266.02) (P<0.001). Conclusion: Participants boostered withone dose of HepB had a good immune response. Pre-booster anti-HBs concentration and a variety of vaccine were related factors of immune response.

Abstract
The standard treatment for advanced gastric cancer remains surgery-based comprehensive treatment. The D2 radical surgery has made outstanding contributions to the standarlization of gastric cancer surgery, which has improved patients' prognosis and quality of life. In recent years, neoadjuvant chemotherapy has achieved a certain effect on the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. With the continuous development of the concept of membrane anatomy in gastric cancer surgery, new surgical challenges have also been raised. For patients after neoadjuvant therapy, there is heated controversy in the possibility of completing radical gastrectomy with membrane anatomical concept for gastric cancer. We believe that if neoadjuvant therapy pushes mesenteric cancer cell back into the mesentery, theoretically membrane anatomy combined with neoadjuvant therapy is beneficial to the treatment efficacy of advanced gastric cancer. However, membrane anatomy has two important problems when combined with neoadjuvant therapy: (1) After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, there are varying degrees of edema around the stomach tissue, which will affect the visualization of anatomic planes. In addition, because the patients' coagulation function is damaged to a certain extent, it is difficult to avoid bleeding or minimize bleeding during the operation. Therefore, it is still controversial whether the patients with gastric cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy can undergo radical gastrectomy with membrane anatomy. (2) For patients with complete pathological remission, whether to obtain the maximum rate of pathological remission through intensive neoadjuvant therapy, or to obtain the survival benefit of patients with membrane anatomy surgery in clinic is still controversial. Faced with these confusions, multi-center clinical researches on the application of membrane anatomy surgery after neoadjuvant therapy is the only solution.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effectiveness and immunogenicity of enterovirus-A71(EV-A71) vaccine in immunization program. Methods: A cohort study was conducted in immunization clinics in Jing'an district in Shanghai from October to December 2017. Children who received EV-A71 vaccine based on a 2-dose schedule (on day 0 and day 30) were enrolled as vaccine group and those who received no EV-A71 vaccine were enrolled as control group. After 1-year follow-up, the effectiveness and neutralizing antibody level and the positive results of antibody immunogenicity in vaccine group were analyzed. Results: A total of 3 018 children aged 8-20 months were enrolled, in whom 1 211 were in vaccine group and 1 807 were in control group. The vaccine effectiveness was 100% against EV-A71-associated hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) indicated by 1 year follow-up (95%CI: -66.99%-100.00%). The geometric mean titer of neutralizing antibody (GMT) was 41.76 (95%CI: 35.60-49.34) at day 60 and 28.44(95%CI: 23.59-34.54) at day 365 in 124 children in vaccine group. Conclusions: In children, EV-A71 vaccine elicited EV-A71-specific immune response. Less EV-A71-associated HFMD cases have been observed, further observation is needed.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, and imaging features of patients with COVID-19 in Henan Province People's Hospital. Methods: The epidemiology, clinical symptoms, laboratory and radiologic data of 49 patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to the department of infectious disease in our hospital from January 23, 2020 to February 22, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All analyses were performed with SPSS software, version 22.0. Results: A total of 49 patients with COVID-19 were enrolled, of which 28 were ordinary, 16 were severe, and 5 were critical in disease severity. The average ages of the 3 groups were (46±19) , (60±16) and (68±20) years, with statistical differences (P=0.015). Common symptoms at the onset were fever (41 patients), dry cough (35 patients), and fatigue (21 patients). Epidemiological investigations found that 31 (63%) patients had direct or indirect contact with confirmed cases, and 14 cases were family clustered. Laboratory test results showed that the lymphocyte counts progressively decreased [0.85 (0.5-1.6) ×10(9)/L,0.51 (0.4-0.9) ×10(9)/L and 0.43 (0.47-0.61) ×10(9)/L, respectively], while LDH [162 (145.1-203.5) U/L,265 (195.3-288.4) U/L and 387 (312.3-415.5) U/L, respectively] and D-dimer [0.15 (0.09-0.40) mg/L,0.4 (0.2-0.6) mg/L and 0.9 (0.5-1.4) mg/L, respectively] were significantly increased (P<0.05), in all the 3 groups. The levels of IL-6 [(43.2±15.4) μg/L, (78.5±31.2) μg/L and (132.4±47.9) μg/L, respectively] and IL-10 [(3.5±3.2) μg/L, (7.6±6.4) μg/L and (9.4±7.2) μg/L respectively] increased significantly with disease severity. Pulmonary imaging of ordinary patients mainly showed unilateral or bilateral multiple infiltrates, while severe and critically ill patients showed diffuse exudation and consolidation of both lungs, and a few patients showed signs of "white lungs". Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 has a definite history of contact with diagnosed patients, and has family aggregation. The clinical symptoms were mainly fever and dry cough. Laboratory results showed that lymphocyte count, LDH, D-dimer, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels had a significant correlation with the severity of the disease, which could be used as markers for disease progression and prognosis. Pulmonary imaging showed unilateral or bilateral ground glass infiltration. In severe and critically ill patients, diffuse infiltration and consolidation or even "white lung" were present.

Abstract
Objective: To identify predictors of massive blood loss after posterior hemivertebra resection for patients with congenital scoliosis. Methods: The data of 106 children with congenital scoliosis were collected from June 2017 to June 2019 in Beijing Children's Hospital. All the cases received posterior hemivertebra resection and internal fixation. The blood volume was estimated by weight and height. The visible blood loss was recorded according to medical record, and the hidden blood loss was calculated by OSTHEO formula. Perioperative information including age, gender, height, weight, Cobb and kyphosis angle, level fused, number of screws, operative time, and laboratory examinations was collected. Then multivariable linear regression was performed to determine the independent risk factors of blood loss. Results: All the surgeries were completed successfully. The mean age of the children was (7.3±2.3) years and the operative time was (162±56) min. The mean fused levels were 3 and the correction rate for deformity was 78.4%. The amount of blood loss was (568±208) ml which accounted for 42.3% of total blood volume. The visible and hidden blood loss was (334±193) ml and (234±199) ml, respectively, and which accounted for 58.8% and 41.2% of total blood loss. Multivariable linear regression analysis indicated that age, preoperative Cobb angle, the time of surgery and the number of fused levels were independent risk factors of total blood loss. Preoperative Cobb angle ≥40°, spinal fusion ≥4 levels and operative duration ≥140 min indicated more blood loss (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The perioperative blood loss of congenital scoliosis is massive with a high percentage of hidden blood loss. The patients with severe deformity, more fused levels and increased operative time brings higher risk of massive blood loss.

Abstract
An eight-channel magnetic probe diagnostic system has been designed and installed adjacent to the 4.6 GHz lower hybrid (LH) grill antenna in the low-field side of the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in order to study the n∥ evolution of LH waves in the first pass from the launcher to the core plasma. The magnetic probes are separated by 6.6 mm, which allows measurement of the dominant parallel refractive index n∥ up to n∥ = 5 for 4.6 GHz LH waves. The magnetic probes are designed to be sensitive to the magnetic field component perpendicular to the background magnetic field with a slit on the casing that encloses the probe. The intermediate frequency stage, which consists of two mixing stages, down-coverts the frequency of the measured wave signals at 4.6 GHz to 20 MHz. A bench test demonstrates the phase stability of the magnetic probe diagnostic system. By evaluating the phase variation of the measured signals along the background magnetic field, the dominant n∥ of the LH wave in the scrape-off layer has been deduced during the 2019 experimental campaign. In the low density plasma, the measured dominant n∥ of the LH waves is about 2.1, corresponding to the main peak 2.04 of the launched n∥ spectrum. n∥ deduced by the least-squares linear fit method remains near this value in the low density plasma with a high spatial correlation magnitude of 0.9. With an eight-channel probe system, a wave-number spectrum has also been deduced, which has a peak near to the measured dominant n∥.

Abstract
Early hemoperfusion in poisoned patients can remove poisons rapidly and effectively, which plays an important role in improving the prognosis of patients. The key of hemoperfusion therapy is the safe and effective anticoagulation. The local citrate anticoagulation effect acid is good, it also has little effect on the systemic coagulation mechanism and internal environment of patients, so it is worthy of promotion. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and treatment of 273 patients who were poisoned by citrate anticoagulant in the emergency intensive care unit of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, aiming at perfusion of citrate anticoagulant in patients with poisoning. Provide a certain clinical reference.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effect of the Chinese medicinal prescription Linggui Fang (LGF) on the reproductive system of the ornidazole-induced asthenospermia (AS) rat and its possible action mechanisms. METHODS Forty male SD rats weighing 200-230 g were equally randomized into four groups, blank control, AS model control, LGF treatment and L-carnitine (LC) intervention. The AS models were made in the latter three groups by intragastrical administration of ornidazole at 400 mg/kg. Meanwhile, the rats in the LGF group were treated intragastrically with LGF at 17.5 g/kg, those in the LC group with LC at 100 mg/kg, and the control animals with 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na), all once a day for 4 successive weeks. Then, all the rats were sacrificed for examination of the semen parameters, determination of the LC content and OCTN2 mRNA expression in the epididymis and observation of the histopathological changes in the testis. RESULTS Compared with the AS model controls, the rats in the other groups showed significantly higher percentages of progressively motile sperm and total motile sperm (P < 0.01) as well as a higher LC content in the epididymis (P < 0.01), but no statistically significant difference in sperm concentration (P > 0.05). The expression of OCTN2 mRNA was remarkably upregulated in the LGF and LC groups in comparison with that in the AS model control (P < 0.05). Compared with the rats in the blank control group, the AS model controls exhibited markedly increased morphologically abnormal seminiferous tubules, irregularly arranged, with narrowed lumens and reduced numbers of sperm and sperm cells, as well as significantly increased hollow seminiferous tubules with deficient and disorderly arranged spermatogenic cells and partial epithelial degeneration and vacuolization. Those in the LGF and LC groups, however, manifested almost normal testicular histomorphology, with basically regular arrangement of different layers of seminiferous tubules. CONCLUSIONS ①Ornidazole induces AS in rats by reducing the LC content in the epididymis, while LGF can improve the sperm motility and testicular morphology of the rats and upregulate the expression of OCTN2 mRNA in the epididymis by increasing the LC concentration.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of adult rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) patients. Methods: The clinical data of 34 adult RMS patients were retrospectively analyzed. Based on their intervention and treatment, patients were divided into operation group (n=7), chemotherapy group (n=8) and operation plus chemotherapy group (n=19). The clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of the three groups were compared. Results: A statically significant difference was found in IRSG surgical-pathological stage among the three groups (P=0.026), while no significant difference existed in gender, age of disease onset, primary site, tumor size, pathological subtypes and IRSG risk group in the three groups (all P>0.05). In the operation group, three CR, one PR, one SD and two PD were achieved and one CR, one PR, one SD and five PD were obtained in the chemotherapy group. While in the chemotherapy plus operation group, four CR, twelve PR, one SD and two PD were achieved. A significant difference was found in response (P=0.043) and median overall survival (OS) (P=0.036) among the three groups, which were 44.7, 26.9 and 53.6 months, respectively. Conclusions: Pleomorphic RMS was the main histological subtype for adult RMS patients, and the prognosis for adult RMS was usually poorer than that for pediatric RMS patients. Single therapeutic approach could not achieve satisfactory outcomes, while multimodal treatment consisted of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are helpful to improve the prognosis of adult patients with RMS.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the expressional changes in Notch signaling pathway and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and their interactions on the functions of CD14(+) monocytes in chronic hepatitis C patients. Methods: A total of 24 treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C cases and 10 healthy individuals, who visited Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from August to October 2017, were enrolled. Selected CD14(+) monocytes were stimulated by the Notch signaling pathway inhibitor DAPT or transfected with TLR4 siRNA, and the levels of Notch1, Notch2, Hes1 and Hes5 mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. TLR4 protein levels and phosphorylation of NF-κB was detected by Western blot. ELISA was used to detect the level of cytokines secreted from CD14(+) monocytes. A t-test or paired t-test was used for comparison between groups. Results: The relative expression of Notch1 mRNA (3.97 ± 2.03 vs. 0.91 ± 0.76, P < 0.01) and downstream of Notch signaling pathway (5.96 ± 2.31 vs. 0.99 ± 0.45, P < 0.01), Hes1 mRNA and Hes5 mRNA (4.31 ± 1.05 vs. 0.84 ± 0.20, P < 0.01) in CD14+ monocytes of chronic hepatitis C patients was significantly higher than that of healthy individuals. The relative expression of TLR4 mRNA (5.14 ± 1.09 vs. 1.27 ± 0.39) and protein level in CD14(+) monocytes of chronic hepatitis C patients were significantly higher than those of healthy individuals (P < 0.01). An inhibition of Notch signaling pathway with DAPT had reduced the relative expression level of TLR4 mRNA (2.58 ± 1.36 vs. 4.34 ± 1.88, P < 0.05), protein expression and phosphorylation of NF-B in CD14(+) monocytes of chronic hepatitis C patients. Furthermore, the secretion level of MCP-1 [(94.32 ± 23.59) pg/ml vs. (64.07 ± 9.39) pg/ml, P < 0.01] and IL-8 [(12.54 ± 4.89) pg/ml vs. (7.92 ± 3.01) pg/ml, P < 0.05] was significantly reduced. TLR4 siRNA transfection reduced the expressions of Notch1 mRNA (2.09 ± 1.72 vs. 3.73 ± 1.75, P < 0.05), Hes1 (2.87 ± 0.84 vs. 5.54 ± 0.97, P < 0.01), and Hes5 (2.89 ± 0.93 vs. 4.51 ± 1.54, P < 0.01) in CD14(+) monocytes of chronic hepatitis C patients. Conclusion: Interaction of Notch signaling pathway with TLR4 can promote the function of CD14(+) monocytes in chronic hepatitis C patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate application and safety of pediatric interfacility-transport with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in China. Methods: The data of 48 patients transported inter-hospital from February 2016 to May 2018 were collected from the following 4 centers: pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Bayi Children's Hospital Affiliated to the 7th Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University, Henan Provincial People's Hospital and Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The data of patients' characteristics, ECMO mode and wean rate, and mortality were reviewed, which was further compared with the data of 57 compatible inner-hospital ECMO cases with t test, Rank sum test or chi-square test. Results: All the 48 interfacility-transports were accomplished by ambulance on land, with an average transfer distance of (435±422) km. The incidence of ECMO complications was 13% (6 case), without death. There were no significant differences in lactic acid, PaO(2) or SaO(2) before and after transport (4.0 (2.0, 7.5) vs. 3.0 (1.5, 6.0) mmol/L, Z=-1.579, P>0.05; 112(47, 405) vs. 166(122, 240) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), Z=-0.104, P>0.05; 0.97±0.02 vs. 0.96±0.03, t=1.570, P>0.05). Instead, PaCO(2) and pH were significantly different ((47±8) vs. (42±5) mmHg, t=2.687, P<0.05; 7.3±0.2 vs. 7.5±0.2, t=3.379, P<0.05). The total ECMO weaned rate was 73% (35/48) and the survival rate was 67% (32/48). No significant differences in demographic characteristics, ECMO mode or duration, transport distance or duration, or complications existed between the survival group and the death group (7/25 vs. 2/14, χ(2)=0.615, P>0.05; 4/28 vs. 2/14, χ(2)=0, P>0.05; (405±404) vs. (493±465) km, t=0.525, P>0.05; (5±4) vs. (5±5) h, t=0.388, P>0.05; 166 (128, 239) vs. 187(52, 405) h, Z=-0.104, P>0.05; 3/32 vs. 3/16, χ(2)=0.734, P>0.05). The lowest lactate value in survival group before ECMO transport was significantly lower than that in the death group ((5±5) vs. (8±6) mmol/L, t=2.151, P<0.05). There were neither significant differences in age, ECMO mode or support pattern (9/39 vs. 15/42, χ(2)=0.845, P>0.05; 6/42 vs. 7/50, χ(2)=0.001, P>0.05; 29/19 vs. 38/19, χ(2)=0.441, P>0.05), nor in ECMO weaned rate, survival rate or complications between interfacility-transport group and inner-hospital group (35/48 vs. 37/57, χ(2)=0.775, P>0.05; 32/48 vs. 35/57, χ(2)=0.313, P>0.05; 20/48 vs. 22/57, χ(2)=0.102, P>0.05). Conclusion: With appropriate transport equipment and mature teams who handle problems timely during the transport, critically ill children could be safely transported to the destination with ECMO.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predictive value of multimode MRI features for nuclear grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: From January 2016 to October 2017, 381 patients (387 tumors) with ccRCC proven by pathology in Chinese PLA General Hospital First Medical Center were enrolled (male 293, female 88, age 24-87 years old). The clinical and imaging data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed, including clinical information (gender, age, BMI, smoke, hypertension) and preoperative renal MRI. Pre-and post-contrast MRI features were subjectively scored. The largest diameter of each lesion was measured. Two-sample t-test,Chi-squared test and binuary Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of clinical and MRI data. Results: According to WHO/ISUP nuclear grade system,all ccRCCs (n=387) were divided into low grade (n=322) and high grade group (n=65). Between two groups, there were significant differences in age and diameter((54±12) vs (59±10) years old, P=0.001; (4.1±2.2) vs (6.2±3.0) cm, P<0.01). In MRI scores,there were significant differences in scores of pseudocapsule, shape and margin,hemorrhage,enhancement degree,cystic-solid,intratumoral vessel,peritumoral vessel, renal sinus invasion, vein thrombosis, lymphadenopathy, necrosis, perinephric invasion and metastasis, DWI signal intensity between high grade group and low grade group (all P<0.01). Binuary Logistic regression analysis showed that shape and margin, enhancement degree and DWI signal intensity were independent predictors for high grade ccRCC (OR=0.181, 95%CI 0.049-0.666; OR=0.393, 95%CI 0.182-0.846; OR=0.336, 95%CI 0.155-0.728). A nomogram model for predicting the risk of high grade ccRCC was constructed. Conclusions: Multimode MRI features can differentiate low grade and high grade ccRCC. The nomogram developed in this study might aid urologist in the pre-operative prediction of nuclear grade of ccRCC,which might contribute to developing treatment strategy.

Abstract
The development of electronic technology has attracted attention on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP). It remains controversial whether EMP irradiation is neurotoxic or beneficial for recovery from injuryies such as cerebral ischemia. Microglia is innate immune cells in the brain, exhibiting either neurotoxicity or neuroprotection effect during various central nervous system diseases, depending on their activation into a classical (M1) or alternative (M2) phenotype, respectively. The Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) pathway is important for microglia activation. In this study, we investigated the effect of EMP on neuronal apoptosis and microglia polarization in vivo and in vitro, using an EMP of 400 kV/m and 1 hertz for 200 pulses. Short EMP irradiation (≤24 h) resulted in microglial conversion from the resting to the M1-type state, activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NFκB pathway, higher levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α, as well as neuronal apoptosis induction. In contrast, long EMP irradiation (3 days) resulted in microglial activation into the M2-type, decreased apoptosis and inflammatory mediator production, and increased levels of the neuroprotective effectors IL-10, transforming growth factor beta, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. EMP induces both neuronal damage and neuronal recovery by influencing the switch of M1/M2 polarization and the TLR4/MyD88/NFκB pathway.
