Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza on colorectal cancer, as well as the mechanisms involved. Methods The active compounds of Salvia miltiorrhiza and the associated genes in colorectal cancer were sourced from publicly available databases. Targets associated with colorectal cancer were identified by searching the GeneCards and OMIM databases. Subsequently, the Cytoscape 3.6.0 software was employed to create a regulatory network that illustrates the relationships among active ingredients, colorectal cancer, and their corresponding targets. The String database was utilized to generate a PPI network. Molecular docking studies, conducted with AutoDock Vina, verified the binding capabilities of these active components to core targets. The findings from network pharmacology analysis were corroborated through in vitro experiments. Results In this study, we identified 39 active components derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza that are predicted to target 544 genes associated with colorectal cancer through network pharmacology. Through a combined analysis of network pharmacology, we isolated three key targets: SRC, IL6, and INS. Molecular docking results convincingly demonstrated Salvia miltiorrhiza's strong binding affinity to these targets. Additionally, in vitro experiments confirmed that Salvia miltiorrhiza effectively inhibited the progression of colorectal cancer via regulating the INS/SRC/IL6 pathway. Conclusion Salvia miltiorrhiza emerges as a compelling herbal intervention for colorectal cancer. This study lays the foundation for potential future clinical trials assessing the efficacy of Salvia miltiorrhiza in the management of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a subset of non-coding RNAs implicated in the regulation of diverse biological processes, including tumorigenesis. However, the expression and functional implications of circ0060467 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the role of circ0060467 in modulating the progression of HCC. METHODS Differentially expressed circRNAs in HCC tissues were identified through circRNA microarray assays. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays revealed the upregulation of circ0060467 in both HCC cell lines and tissues. Various assays were conducted to investigate the roles of circ0060467 in HCC progression. Additionally, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays and luciferase assays were carried out to assess the interactions between circ0060467, microRNA-6085 (miR-6085), apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2 (AIFM2), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in HCC. RESULTS Microarray and qRT-PCR analyses demonstrated a marked elevation of circ0060467 in HCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circ0060467 suppressed HCC cell proliferation. Luciferase reporter and RIP assays confirmed the binding of circ0060467, AIFM2, and GPX4 to miR-6805. Subsequent experiments revealed that circ0060467 competes with AIFM2 and GPX4, thereby inhibiting cancer cell ferroptosis by binding to miR-6085 and promoting hepatocellular carcinoma progression. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, circ0060467 modulates the levels of AIFM2 and GPX4, crucial regulators of tumor cell ferroptosis, by acting as a sponge for miR-6085 in HCC. Thus, circ0060467 may represent a novel diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for HCC.

Abstract
Circulating n-3 PUFA, which integrate endogenous and exogenous n-3 PUFA, can be better used to investigate the relationship between n-3 PUFA and disease. However, studies examining the associations between circulating n-3 PUFA and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk were limited, and the results remained inconclusive. This case–control study aimed to examine the association between serum n-3 PUFA and CRC risk in Chinese population. A total of 680 CRC cases and 680 sex- and age-matched (5-year interval) controls were included. Fatty acids were assayed by GC. OR and 95 % CI were calculated using multivariable logistic regression after adjustment for potential confounders. Higher level of serum α-linolenic acid (ALA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), DHA, long-chain n-3 PUFA and total n-3 PUFA were associated with lower odds of CRC. The adjusted OR and 95 % CI were 0·34 (0·24, 0·49, Pfor trend < 0·001) for ALA, 0·57 (0·40, 0·80, Pfor trend < 0·001) for DPA, 0·48 (0·34, 0·68, Pfor trend < 0·001) for DHA, 0·39 (0·27, 0·56, Pfor trend < 0·001) for long-chain n-3 PUFA and 0·31 (0·22, 0·45, Pfor trend < 0·001) for total n-3 PUFA comparing the highest with the lowest quartile. However, there was no statistically significant association between EPA and odds of CRC. Analysis stratified by sex showed that ALA, DHA, long-chain n-3 PUFA and total n-3 PUFA were inversely associated with odds of CRC in both sexes. This study indicated that serum ALA, DPA, DHA, long-chain n-3 PUFA and total n-3 PUFA were inversely associated with odds of having CRC in Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid modulatory element-binding protein 1 (GMEB1), which has been identified as a transcription factor, is a protein widely expressed in various tissues. Reportedly, the dysregulation of GMEB1 is linked to the genesis and development of multiple cancers.
AIM To explore GMEB1’s biological functions in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and figuring out the molecular mechanism.
METHODS GMEB1 expression in HCC tissues was analyzed employing the StarBase database. Immunohistochemical staining, Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR were conducted to examine GMEB1 and Yes-associate protein 1 (YAP1) expression in HCC cells and tissues. Cell counting kit-8 assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry were utilized to examine HCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis, respectively. The JASPAR database was employed for predicting the binding site of GMEB1 with YAP1 promoter. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR were conducted to verify the binding relationship of GMEB1 with YAP1 promoter region.
RESULTS GMEB1 was up-regulated in HCC cells and tissues, and GMEB1 expression was correlated to the tumor size and TNM stage of HCC patients. GMEB1 overexpression facilitated HCC cell multiplication, migration, and invasion, and suppressed the apoptosis, whereas GMEB1 knockdown had the opposite effects. GMEB1 bound to YAP1 promoter region and positively regulated YAP1 expression in HCC cells.
CONCLUSION GMEB1 facilitates HCC malignant proliferation and metastasis by promoting the transcription of the YAP1 promoter region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly prevalent malignancy of the digestive tract worldwide, characterized by a significant morbidity and mortality rate and subtle initial symptoms. Diarrhea, local abdominal pain, and hematochezia occur with the development of cancer, while systemic symptoms such as anemia and weight loss occur in patients with advanced CRC. Without timely interventions, the disease can have fatal consequences within a short span. The current therapeutic options for colon cancer include olaparib and bevacizumab, which are widely utilized. This study intends to evaluate the clinical efficacy of olaparib combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced CRC, hoping to provide insights into advanced CRC treatment.
AIM To investigate the retrospective efficacy of olaparib combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced CRC.
METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 82 patients with advanced colon cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of South China between January 2018 and October 2019. Among them, 43 patients subjected to the classical FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen were selected as the control group, and 39 patients undergoing treatment with olaparib combined with bevacizumab were selected as the observation group. Subsequent to different treatment regimens, the short-term efficacy, time to progression (TTP), and incidence rate of adverse reactions between the two groups were compared. Changes in serum-related indicators [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)] and tumor markers [human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199)] levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups at the same time.
RESULTS The objective response rate was discovered to be 82.05%, and the disease control rate was 97.44% in the observation group, which were significantly higher than the respective rates of 58.14% and 83.72% in the control group (P < 0.05). The median TTP was 24 mo (95%CI: 19.987-28.005) in the control group and 37 mo (95%CI: 30.854-43.870) in the observation group. The TTP in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group, and the difference held statistical significance (log-rank test value = 5.009, P = 0.025). Before treatment, no substantial difference was detected in serum VEGF, MMP-9, and COX-2 levels and tumor markers HE4, CA125, and CA199 levels between the two groups (P > 0.05). Following treatment with different regimens, the above indicators in the two groups were remarkably promoted (P < 0.05), VEGF, MMP-9, and COX-2 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and HE4, CA125, and CA199 levels were also lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Vis-à-vis the control group, the total incidence of gastrointestinal reactions, thrombosis, bone marrow suppression, liver and kidney function injury, and other adverse reactions in the observation group was notably lowered, with the difference considered statistically significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Olaparib combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced CRC demonstrates a strong clinical effect of delaying disease progression and reducing the serum levels of VEGF, MMP-9, COX-2 and tumor markers HE4, CA125 and CA199. Moreover, given its fewer adverse reactions, it can be regarded as a safe and reliable treatment option.

Abstract
Objective: According to the formula provided by the TG43 report [AAPM TG43 (2004)] proposed by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) in 2004, we calculated the dose distribution around the radioactive iodine-125 particles, and verified the calculation accuracy of the radioactive iodine-125 particles treatment planning system. Methods: AAPM TG43 (2004) report provides two calculation methods when calculating the dose around a single radioactive source. The calculation method that does not consider the geometric structure of the radioactive source is called point source calculation method, and the calculation method that considers the geometric structure of the radioactive source is called line source calculation method. Assuming a single Amersham 6711 radioactive iodine-125 particle with an activity of 100 U, the following point doses were calculated according to the two calculation methods provided by AAPM TG43 (2004) report, at 0°, 90° directions, distances 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6 cm; In the direction of 45°, the doses at 0.71, 1.41, 2.12, 2.83, 3.54, 4.24, 4.95, 5.66, 6.36, 7.07, 7.78 and 8.49 cm. On the clinically used brachytherapy planning system variseeds 8.0, the above two calculation methods are used to calculate the corresponding activity and the dose around the corresponding type of radioactive iodine-125 particles, and the function of capturing points to templates built in the planning system is used to accurately find the above corresponding point position, using a single measurement of the above corresponding point dose; and comparation of the results were performed to see if there is a statistical difference. Results: The AAPM TG43 report uses point source calculation method to calculate the dose of single Amersham 6711 radioactive iodine-125 particles with activity of 100 U at 0° and 90° directions. The points with the same distance and the same dose are 8 082.18, 1 870.08, 756.58, 381.47, 217.11, 131.91, 86.55, 58.32, 39.97, 27.42, 19.74, 14.13 Gy, respectively, at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6 cm away from them. In the 45° direction, the doses at the distances of 0.71, 1.41, 2.12, 2.83, 3.54, 4.24, 4.95, 5.66, 6.36, 7.07, 7.78 and 8.49 cm are 3 957.37, 865.83, 329.99, 155.69, 84.10, 48.50, 28.49, 17.80, 11.37, 7.38, 4.98 and 3.39 Gy, respectively; For line source calculation method, radioactive particles are at the same distance as above. The doses at each point in the direction of 0° are 3 128.71, 755.44, 330.30, 180.53, 107.74, 68.56, 46.40, 32.22, 22.70, 16.00, 11.51, 8.24 Gy, respectively. The doses at each point in the direction of 90° are 8 306.46, 1 981.01, 802.74, 405.38, 230.60, 140.03, 91.83, 61.84, 42.36, 29.05, 20.91, 14.97 Gy; In the 45° direction, the dose at the corresponding distance as above is 4 020.78, 877.43, 333.49, 156.93, 84.69, 48.81, 28.65, 17.89, 11.42, 7.41, 4.99 and 3.40 Gy, respectively. The maximum dose difference (0.3%) between the two methods is 7.78 cm in the 45° direction, the maximum difference (-0.3%) between the two methods is 8.49 cm in the 45° direction, and the value of other sampling points is less than 0.3%. The closer the Amersham 6711 iodine-125 particles are to the source in the directions of 0°, 45°, and 90°, the faster the dose will drop, and the dose will drop gradually as the distance increases. Conclusion: The brachytherapy planning system variseeds 8.0 and the AAPM TG43 report calculate a maximum dose difference of 0.3%, which can accurately calculate the dose distribution around radioactive iodine-125 seeds, and provide a reliable tool for the clinical implementation of radioactive iodine-125 particles implantation for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) is a congenital disease caused by single gene germline mutation related to the immune system. PID patients have immune dysregulation, and are susceptible to infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, and malignant tumors. The first symptom of some PID patients is atopic disease, therefore they go to the department of allergy, department of pediatrics and other relevant departments. How to identify and diagnose PID in allergic patients, to reduce diagnosis delay and prevent disease aggravation are the abilities that allergists, pediatricians, and doctors in other relevant departments need to master. This article summarizes the warning signs of PID in allergic patients and the mechanism of allergy combined with PID, and then summarizes the common types of PID in allergic patients, the evaluation, treatment and prevention in patients with PID and allergy.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy and value of optical genome mapping (OGM) in detecting chromosomal structural variations. In a clinical study about high-precision analysis of genomic structural variation for complex genetic diseases, a retrospective study was performed on the cases with karyotyping at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Endocrinology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January to December 2021. Ten cases with abnormal karyotype was detected by OGM. Partial cases were verified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), SNP array or CNV-seq. Results of ten cases, nine were detected with abnormality by OGM, including unbalanced chromosomal rearrangements (n=3), translocation (n=5) and paracentric inversion (n=1), and the results were in concordance with other standard assays. However, one case with breakpoint and reconnected at centromere has not been detected. In conclusion, ten samples were comprehensively analyzed by karyotyping, FISH, SNP array or CNV-seq, and OGM, and results demonstrated that optical genome mapping as a new technology can not only detect unbalanced rearrangements such as copy number variants as well as balanced translocations and inversions, but more importantly, it can refine breakpoints and orientation of duplicated segments or insertions. So it can contribute to the diagnosis of genetic diseases and prevent birth defect. However, the current technology is not yet capable of detecting breakpoints of balanced structural variations lying within unmapped regions.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of humanized anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor modified (BCMA CAR) -T cell therapy after disease progression with their murine BCMA CAR-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) . Methods: Study participants underwent leukapheresis to collect T cells for BCMA CAR-T manufacturing. Patients were pretreated with intensive chemotherapy (fludarabine combined with cytarabine) before CAR-T therapy. Adverse events (AEs) , CAR DNA expansion, and cytokine were monitored. In vitro, transfection efficacy, specific cytotoxicity, and inflammatory response were detected when co-cultured with effector and target cells. Results: Patient (PT) 1 and 2 achieved complete remission (CR) and disease stability at 3 months post murine CAR-T therapy. However, 16 and 18 months later, they experienced progression of disease (PD) , and patient 1 presented with extramedullary disease at PD. Both of the patients received humanized CAR-T therapy and achieved partial remission (PR) and very good partial remission (VGPR) post humanized CAR-T therapy. PT1 achieved CR of the soft tissue masses at 4 months post humanized CAR-T therapy. Notably, the median peak of the BCMA CAR-T cells, copy of BCMA CAR gene, persistence of BCMA CAR-T, and the peak levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α were higher in humanized CAR-T therapy than those in the murine CAR-T therapy. During the murine CAR-T therapy, both of the patients experienced grade 1 CRS and no ICANS. PT1 experienced grade 3 CRS and grade 2 ICANS during humanized CAR-T therapy, which were relieved by supportive care. Grade 2 CRS was observed for patient 2 during humanized CAR-T therapy. Humanized BCMA CAR-T cells showed a higher inflammatory response and in vitro cytotoxicity than that of murine BCMA CAR-T cells with effector/targets cells at 1∶1 over 48 hours (P<0.001) . The proportions of residual cells in humanized BCMA CAR-T and murine CAR-T were (17.38±5.18) % vs (28.27±4.58) %, (13.25±1.62) % vs (22.77±1.77) % for PT1 and PT2, respectively. Conclusions: The humanized BCMA CAR-T cell therapy was efficient and safe for patients who experienced progression of disease after the murine CAR-T therapy, especially for patients with extramedullary disease.

Abstract
Objective: To explore genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis strategies for women who have androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) family history or pregnancy history of AIS proband. Methods: Three families of complete AIS (CAIS) were retrospectively reported and summarized. The subsequent pregnancies and processes of prenatal diagnosis were followed up. Results: Among three CAIS families, one family had androgen receptors (AR) gene mutation diagnosis; the other two families were diagnosed clinically without gene diagnosis. All three mothers of CAIS probands were in pregnant again when they sought counseling, with gestational weeks between 7-13 weeks. They underwent chorionic villi sampling or amniocentesis in their second trimester (at 12, 16, 17 weeks respectively). Chromosome gender of all three fetuses were 46,XY, which was inconsistent with the ultrasonographic phenotype of external genitalia. All patients chose selective abortion in their second trimester. The external genitalia of all aborted fetuses were female phenotype, which supported the diagnosis of CAIS. Conclusion: Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis should be provided to high-risk patients with family history of AIS or proband pregnancy history, so as to achieve the goal of good childbearing and sound childrearing.

Abstract
Objective: To study the biological behavior of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells and to explore the activation of Ras signaling pathway regulated by CD44. Methods: CNE2-SC and 5-8F-SC were nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells and obtained by serum-free suspension culture. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, Transwell migration assay, cell adhesion array were used to investigate the growth, proliferation, migration and adhesion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells. Western blot test was used to detect the expressions of Ras signaling pathway related proteins and siRNA-mediated interference was used to determine the activation of Ras signaling pathway regulated by CD44. Results: The growth rates of CNE2-SC and 5-8F-SC cells were significantly lower than those of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells at 24, 48 and 72 hours after inoculation (P<0.05). After 14 days of implantation, the colony formation rates of CNE2-SC (44.5±1.9)% and 5-8F-SC (47.4±1.8)% were higher than those of CNE2 (34.9±1.5)% and 5-8F (37.2±1.7)%, respectively(P<0.01). The migration cell number of CNE2-SC was (87.6±7.8), 3.97 times higher than that of CNE2 (P<0.01). The migration cell number of 5-8F-SC was (67.2±5.7), 3.07 times higher than 5-8F (P<0.01). The adhesion rates of CNE2-SC and CNE2 cells were (42.1±7.6)% and (8.9±2.0)%, respectively at 3 hours after inoculation and were (82.4±5.0)% and (12.1±2.2)% at 6 hours after inoculation, respectively. The adhesion rate of CNE2-SC cells was higher than that of CNE2 cells (all P<0.01). The adhesion rates of 5-8F-SC and 5-8F cells were (53.6±6.1)% and (7.3±1.5)% at 3 hours after inoculation, and (90.7±3.6)% and (11.0±1.2)% at 6 hours after inoculation, respectively. The adhesion rate of 5-8F-SC cells was higher than that of 5-8F cells (P<0.01). The expression levels of CD44, Ras and N-cadherin were significantly higher, while phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), E-cadherin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells were lower than those of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Furthermore, the levels of phosphorylated mitogen extracellular kinase1/2 (p-MEK1/2) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase1/2 (p-ERK1/2)were significantly increased in nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells (P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that the protein expression levels of CD44 was highly positively correlated with RAS in nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells(r=0.985, P=0.002; r=0.962, P=0.038). Deletion of CD44 in CNE2-SC decreased the expression levels of HER-2, Ras and p-ERK1/2, p-Akt and phosphorylated protein kinase C-δ(p-PKCδ) (P<0.01). Conclusions: Despite compare to the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell, nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells grows at a relatively slow rate, the capacities of clone formation, migration, adhesion are promoted. This may be related to the CD44-regulated abnormal activation of Ras signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of a dengue fever outbreak in Hunan province in 2018. Methods: Real-time PCR assay was performed for the laboratory diagnosis of 8 suspected dengue fever cases. Etiological surveillance was performed in 186 suspected dengue fever cases and fever cases who had close contacts with dengue fever patients. C6/36 cells was used for the virus isolation from acute phase serum. By sequencing the full length of E genes of 15 dengue virus strains, phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the sequences obtained, including reference sequences from the NCBI GenBank database, the serotypes and gene subtypes of the virus were analyzed to trace the possible source of transmission. An emergency monitoring of vector density and a retrospective survey of sero-epidemiology in healthy population were conducted in the epidemic area. Results: In the serum samples of 8 suspected patients, 6 were dengue virus RNA positive, and 4 were NS1 antigen positive. In 186 suspected patients, 96 were dengue virus nucleic acid, NS1 antigen or antibody positive in etiological test. A total of 64 dengue virus strains were isolated. The phylogenetic analysis showed that all the dengue virus strains belonged to type 2, which might be from Guangdong or Zhejiang provinces. The Bretub index was up to 65, indicating an extremely high risk of transmission. The positive rate of the dengue virus IgG antibody was 0.53%(2/377) in retrospective survey of 377 healthy people. Conclusion: The field epidemiologic and the molecular genetics analyses showed the outbreak of dengue fever in Hunan in 2018 was caused by imported cases and dengue virus 2.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the maintenance therapy following an anti-CD19-CAR T-cell therapy for a B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patient who relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and investigate the effect of donor stem cells and donor T lymphocyte infusion on the amplification of CD19 CAR-T cells. Methods: One refractory B-ALL patient relapsed after murine CD19 CAR-T cell therapy followed by a sibling allo-HSCT. He underwent a humanized CD19 CAR-T cell therapy followed by donor stem cell and donor T lymphocytes infusions as maintenance therapy in our hospital. The level of cytokines, the proportion of CD19 CAR-T cell, the level of CAR19 DNA expression in the peripheral blood, and the proportion of leukemia cells and donor chimerism in the bone marrow were detected. Correspondingly, T lymphocytes from the C57 spleen were separated to modify the CD19 CAR lentivirus and refused into C57 mice, and after 14 days, the B lymphocytes from C57 mice were separated and refused into the same C57 mice. The CD19 CAR T cells, B cells, and CD19 CAR gene counts in the peripheral blood were evaluated at different time points. Results: ①The patient achieved a complete response (CR) 14 days after a humanized CD19 CAR-T therapy with grade 1 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and restored a donor chimerism to 99.76%. ② Following the remission from humanized CD19 CAR-T therapy, the patient received a maintenance therapy of donor stem cell infusion. Mild graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) manifested 24 days after infusion with an increased proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells and an increased level of CAR19 DNA expression in the peripheral blood. It fell with the remission of GVHD. The patient maintained CR and 99.69% donor chimerism during this period. ③ Throughout the subsequent donor T lymphocytes maintenance therapy, mild GVHD surfaced12 days after infusion without an increased proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells and an increased level of CAR19 DNA expression in the peripheral blood. The patient maintained CR and 99.87% donor chimerism during this period. ④ In vivo experiments on C57 mice confirmed that the proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells and the level of CAR19 DNA expression were upregulated in mice following CAR-T cell infusion, accompanied by depletion of CD19(+) B lymphocyte. After infusion of CD19(+) B lymphocyte cells, an increased proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells and an increased level of CAR19 DNA expression in the peripheral blood were observed again. Conclusions: The infusion of donor stem cells and donor T lymphocytes could be used as a maintenance treatment after CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for B-ALL patients who relapsed after allo-HSCT. Infusion of donor stem cells induced an increased proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells and an increased level of CAR19 DNA expression with the occurrence of GVHD. It might lead to further elimination of minimal residual disease.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of maternal X chromosome aneuploidies on cell free DNA (cf-DNA) prenatal screening. Methods: After genetic counseling, invasive prenatal diagnosis was provided for the 124 cases with high risk of sex chromosome aneuploidie (SCA) indicated by cf-DNA prenatal screening. For cases with discordant results of fetal prenatal diagnosis and cf-DNA prenatal screening, maternal leukocyte was collected for copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) to detect whether the maternal X chromosome was carrying variations. Results: Totally, 124 cases with high risks of SCA indicated by cf-DNA prenatal screening, 9 cases refused to take invasive prenatal diagnosis, while the remaining 115 cases received. Among the 115 cases, 41 cases received accordant results with cf-DNA prenatal screening while 74 cases discordant. Among the 74 cases with discordant results, 19 cases were indicated with maternal X chromosome variations by maternal leukocyte CNV-seq, which accounting for 25.7% (19/74) of the SCA false positive cases, and 15.3% (19/124) of all SCA cases. Conclusions: Pregnant women with X chromosome variations may affect the results of cf-DNA prenatal screening, resulting in false positive or false negative outcomes, it should be emphasized that the cf-DNA results may be affected by maternal X chromosome variations. In cases with discordant results of prenatal diagnosis and cf-DNA prenatal screening, maternal leukocyte CNV-seq is recommended to find the reasons of false positive or negative results. And cf-DNA prenatal screening is not recommended for pregnant women who are already known with X chromosome variations.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the diagnosis and treatment process before and after ROSE examination of 12 patients with pulmonary complications after allo-HSCT who were admitted to the Department of hematology, Tianjin First Central Hospital from January 2017 to June 2019. The diagnostic accuracy of the ROSE was evaluated by comparing the initial diagnosis of ROSE with the final clinical diagnosis. At the same time, the safety of ROSE examination was evaluated and two typical cases were shared. Results: In the 12 transbronchial lung biopsies, there were 5 cases of organizing pneumonia, 3 cases of bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, 1 case of pulmonary fibrosis, 1 case of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia, 1 case of pseudomembranous tracheobronchial aspergillosis and 1 case of uncertain diagnosis evaluated by ROSE. Compared with the final clinical diagnosis, there were 10 cases of accurate diagnosis made by ROSE (10/12). All patients were well tolerant to the operation of bronchoscopy. There was only a small amount of bleeding observed during the operation, without pneumothorax and hemoptysis. And no complications related to ROSE occurred. According to the initial diagnosis of ROSE, 10 cases of non-infectious pulmonary complications were treated with methylprednisolone or other immunosuppressive agents and 1 case of Aspergillus infection was given antifungal therapy. Seven patients with non-infectious pulmonary complications improved after treatment. One patient obtained uncertain diagnosis by ROSE was later diagnosed with virus infection by next generation sequencing technology and improved after treatment with foscarnet sodium and immunoglobulin. As of June 30, 2019, 7 patients improved and 5 died. Conclusion: ROSE has the advantages of diagnostic accuracy and rapidity, and is very suitable for patients with critical illness after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, who are in urgent need of definite diagnosis and prompt treatment, which is beneficial to improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the difference of preoperative planning parameters between 3D-printing non-coplanar template (3D-PNCT) and 3D-printing coplanar template (3D-PCT) in the treatment of pelvic wall recurrent gynecological malignant tumor with radioactive seeds implantation, and to guide the clinical application. Methods: From January 2016 to March 2018, 33 patients with pelvic wall recurrent gynecological malignant tumor were treated with radioactive seeds implantation assisted by 3D-printing template and in Peking University Third Hospital. All patients underwent 3D-PNCT and 3D-PCT preoperative planning. The D(90) of target remained similar for the same patient. The parameters were compared with Wilcoxon test or Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: D(90) was similar between the two groups (P>0.05). The number of inserting needles through intestine and bone in 3D-PNCT group was less than that in 3D-PCT group (0 (0-13), 0 (0-25), Z=-2.941, P<0.05;0 (0-3), 0 (0-25), Z=-2.232, P<0.05). Conclusion: For patients with gynecological malignancies with pelvic recurrence, both of the two peroperative plans could achieve prescription dose, but 3D-PNCT is more safer.

Abstract
Objective:To observe the changes of serological factors in the dose-increasing phase of allergic rhinitis and to explore the mechanism of short-term rush immunotherapy.Method:The clinical data of 110 patients with allergic rhinitis diagnosed by rush immunotherapy in our hospital were analyzed. According to the results of allergen test(sIgE), they were divided into simple dust mite allergy group and multiple allergen allergy groups. The serum of the patients were taken before the start of rush immunotherapy and the first day after the end of the dose-increasing phase.Serum total IgE and IgG before and after rush immunotherapy were detected by Beekman specific protein detector. The serum levels of IFN-γ,IL-12,IL-10,IgG1 and IgG4 were measured by ELISA before and after rush immunotherapy. The changes of them were compared and analyzed.Result:①Serum total IgE and IgG were increased after rush immunotherapy, and the change of serum IgG concentration in the simple dust mite allergy group was statistically significant(P<0.05).②The levels of serum IFN-γ, IL-12 and IL-10 increased after rush immunotherapy. The changes of IL-12 and IFN-γ in multiple allergen allergy groups were not significant before and after treatment, while the changes in other groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).③Serum total IgG1 and IgG4 were increased after rush immunotherapy. The changes of serum IgG4 in the simple dust mite allergy group were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in serum IgG1.Conclusion:The dose-increasing phase of rush immunotherapy can stimulate the production of IgG antibodies and the changes of related serological factors in a short period of time, especially in patients with simple dust mite allergy group. It indicates that dose-increasing phase of rush immunotherapy may play a role by regulating immunoglobulin and adjusting the dynamic balance of Th1/Th2 factors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor 2α (HIF-2α) gene on the expression of Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) protein in the proliferation of hypoxic rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). Methods: HIF-2α overexpression lentiviral vector (LV-HIF-2α) and silencing RNA (siRNA) were constructed and transfected into rat PASMC under normoxia and hypoxia, respectively. The PASMC under normoxia were classified into normoxic control group, normoxia + LV-HIF-2α empty group, normoxia + LV-HIF-2α group; the PASMC under hypoxia were classified into hypoxic control group, hypoxia + siRNA-HIF-2α empty group, hypoxia + siRNA-HIF-2α group. The expression of HIF-2α and its downstream proteins FoxM1, cyclin D1 and Aurora A expressions were detected by Western blot. 5-Ethyny-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) cell proliferation assay was used to evaluate the effect of overexpression and inhibition of HIF-2α expression on the proliferation of rat PASMC. Results: The expression of HIF-2α in normoxia + LV-HIF-2α group was significantly higher than that in normoxic control group and normoxia+LV-HIF-2α empty group (0.17±0.02 vs 0.09±0.01 and 0.07±0.00), while the expression of HIF-2α in PASMC of hypoxia + siRNA-HIF-2α group was significantly lower than that of hypoxic control group and hypoxia + siRNA-HIF-2α empty group (0.28±0.01 vs 0.35±0.02 and 0.30±0.01) (all P<0.05); the expression of FoxM1 protein, cyclinD1 and cell proliferation-related Aurora A protein in normoxia+LV-HIF-2α group were significantly higher than that in normoxic control group and normoxia+LV-HIF-2α empty group (0.40±0.03 vs 0.24±0.01 and 0.30±0.01, 0.22±0.02 vs 0.09±0.01 and 0.08±0.02, 0.29±0.02 vs 0.04±0.01 and 0.07±0.01, respectively) (all P<0.05); the expressions of FoxM1 protein, cyclinD1 and Aurora A protein in hypoxia + siRNA-HIF-2α group were significantly lower than those in hypoxic control group and hypoxia + siRNA-HIF-2α empty group (0.23±0.01 vs 0.36±0.02 and 0.32±0.01, 0.15±0.01 vs 0.31±0.01 and 0.28±0.03, 0.14±0.02 vs 0.33±0.03 and 0.27±0.02, respectively) (all P<0.05); the positive expression rate of EdU in the normoxic control group was significantly lower than that in the normoxia+LV-HIF-2α group [(30.77±2.43)% vs (55.56±3.01)%], while the hypoxic control group was significantly higher than the hypoxic+siRNA-HIF-2α group [(65.28±3.21)% vs (44.64±2.78)%] (both P<0.05). Conclusion: HIF-2α up-regulates the expression of FoxM1 and promotes the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in hypoxic rats.

Abstract
Immunotherapy, among all the treatments of allergic rhinitis, is the only one which aims directly at etiological factor.Even though, subcutaneous immunotherapy is a widely used and effective therapeutic method in clinical practice, there is no definite answer in the current research about how it regulates the immune mechanism of allergic rhinitis, that is, how to predict the curative effect according to its objective indicators. In order to have an insight into its clinical role in the immune mechanism of allergic rhinitis,this article will have an overview about it, on the basis of the pertinent medical literature.

Abstract
Objective: To study the changes of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in pinopodes during luteal phase and to explore the possible mechanism of GnRH-a in luteal phase support of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Methods: Totally 40 primary infertility women who were treated with ART due to male factors were enrolled, according to the order of the group they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. On the 7th day after ovulation, the experimental group received a subcutaneous injection of 0.1 mg of GnRH-a, while the control group received a subcutaneous injection of placebo only (0.9% saline 2 ml), 3 days later they came to the clinic again. Serum estradiol and progesterone levels were measured before and after treatment in each group. Pinopodes were collected for electron microscopic examination. Levels of ER and PR were detected by western blot. Results: (1) There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the estrogen level before and after the treatment (all P>0.05). The level of progesterone in the experimental group after treatment [(66.8±14.9) nmol/L] was significantly higher than that before treatment(P<0.05); also significantly higher than the same period of the control group (P<0.05). (2) There was no significant difference in the expression of ER protein in the experimental group before and after treatment (P>0.05). The expression of PR in the experimental group after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05); also lower than the same period of the control group (P<0.05). (3) Expression amount of pinopodes in the experimental group after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment [65% (13/20) versus 25% (5/20), P<0.05], and the development trend was more mature [the percentage of maturation:75% (15/20) versus 35% (7/20), P<0.05]. Expression amount of pinopodes after treatment and the percentage of maturation in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the same period of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: GnRH-a in luteal phase support may play a role through the corpus luteum, which may promote the secretion of progesterone, downregulation of PR expression, promote the growth of pinopodes, and improve the endometrial receptivity.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of CT-guidance interstitial Iodine-125 seed brachytherapy as a salvage therapy for recurrent head and neck carcinoma. Methods: A total of 122 patients who had been treated for recurrent head and neck carcinoma with CT-guided Iodine-125 seed permanent implantation were conducted a retrospective analysis at Peking University Third Hospital from February 2003 to December 2015. The study included 78 male and 44 female patients. Of the 122 patients, 76 had undergone radical surgery, 106 had received EBRT. Among the patients who underwent EBRT, the total dose delivered to PTV ranged from 30 to 140 Gy (median, 68.4 Gy). The actuarial median number of the implanted Iodine-125 seeds was 38 (range, 5-158). The specific activity of Iodine-125 seeds ranged from 14.8 to 28.9 MBq/seed (median, 22.2 MBq). The evaluation of post plan showed the actuarial D90 ranged from 46 to 282 Gy (median, 121 Gy). The overall local control and survival times were determined by using the Kaplan-Meier method from SPSS 13.0.Univariate analysis was performed on the local control rate and overall survival rate. Results: Tumor responses rate was 75.4%. The median local control time was 10.0 months (95% CI 9.8-24.2 months), and the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year local control were 41.9%, 21.2%, 3.7%, and 3.7%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the local control in D90≥120 Gy group had an increasing tendency, but no statistical difference were found. The effect of local control in the squamous cell carcinoma group was slightly worse than that in the non-squamous cell carcinoma group (P=0.032). Multi-factor analysis showed that the effect of local control in the squamous cell carcinoma group was slightly poor (P=0.03). The median survival time was 14 months (95% CI 14.4-35.8 months), and the 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year survival rate were 51.5%, 34.2%, 19.4%, and 19.4%, respectively. The three factors, such as the tumor responses, KPS status before the seed implantation, and the D90 after the seed implantation, had a tendency to improve the total survival, but there was still no statistical differences. Multivariate analysis showed no clear influence factors. Conclusions: Interstitial permanent Iodine-125 seed implantation is an effective salvage re-irradiation modality for recurrent head and neck carcinoma after previous surgery and/or EBRT. CT image-guided method could yield the reliable seeds configuration and accurate dose distribution.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relationship of dosimetry parameters and efficacy of (125)I seeds implantation for pelvic recurrent cervical cancer (PRCC) after external beam radiotherapy(EBRT) under CT guidance. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on 30 PRCC patients after EBRT in Peking University Third Hospital with (125)I seeds implantation under CT guidance. Postoperative plans were made to evaluate the dosimetric parameters. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate local progression free survival (LPFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate, and Log-rank test and Cox regression were used for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: The 1-year and 2-year LPFS rate was 39.4% and 22.5%, respectively. The 1-year and 2-year OS rate was 57.3% and 27.4%, respectively. On postoperative plan, D(90) was (132±47) Gy, D(100) was (51±24) Gy, V(100) was 88%±10%, V(150)was 69%±15%, V(200) was 51%±18%.LPFS time would be longer while D(90) ≥105 Gy or D(100) ≥ 55 Gy or V(100) ≥ 91% (all P<0.05). D(100) was significantly related to LPFS (P<0.05). But these dosimetry parameters got no effect on OS. Conclusions: LPFS time of (125)I seeds implantation for PRCC after EBRT under CT guidance would be longer when D(90)≥105 Gy or D(100)≥ 55 Gy, or V(100)≥ 91%. D(100) is an independent factor related to LPFS.

Abstract
The traditional concept of the genus Humicola includes species that produce pigmented, thick-walled and single-celled spores laterally or terminally on hyphae or minimally differentiated conidiophores. More than 50 species have been described in the genus. Species commonly occur in soil, indoor environments, and compost habitats. The taxonomy of Humicola and morphologically similar genera is poorly understood in modern terms. Based on a four-locus phylogeny, the morphological concept of Humicola proved to be polyphyletic. The type of Humicola, H. fuscoatra, belongs to the Chaetomiaceae. In the Chaetomiaceae, species producing humicola-like thick-walled spores are distributed among four lineages: Humicola sensu stricto, Mycothermus, Staphylotrichum, and Trichocladium. In our revised concept of Humicola, asexual and sexually reproducing species both occur. The re-defined Humicola contains 24 species (seven new and thirteen new combinations), which are described and illustrated in this study. The species in this genus produce conidia that are lateral, intercalary or terminal on/in hyphae, and conidiophores are not formed or are minimally developed (micronematous). The ascospores of sexual Humicola species are limoniform to quadrangular in face view and bilaterally flattened with one apical germ pore. Seven species are accepted in Staphylotrichum (four new species, one new combination). Thick-walled conidia of Staphylotrichum species usually arise either from hyphae (micronematous) or from apically branched, seta-like conidiophores (macronematous). The sexual morph represented by Staphylotrichum longicolleum (= Chaetomium longicolleum) produces ascomata with long necks composed of a fused basal part of the terminal hairs, and ascospores that are broad limoniform to nearly globose, bilaterally flattened, with an apical germ pore. The Trichocladium lineage has a high morphological diversity in both asexual and sexual structures. Phylogenetic analysis revealed four subclades in this lineage. However, these subclades are genetically closely related, and no distinctive phenotypic characters are linked to any of them. Fourteen species are accepted in Trichocladium, including one new species, twelve new combinations. The type species of Gilmaniella, G. humicola, belongs to the polyphyletic family Lasiosphaeriaceae (Sordariales), but G. macrospora phylogenetically belongs to Trichocladium. The thermophilic genus Mycothermus and the type species My. thermophilum are validated, and one new Mycothermus species is described. Phylogenetic analyses show that Remersonia, another thermophilic genus, is sister to Mycothermus and two species are known, including one new species. Thermomyces verrucosus produces humicola-like conidia and is transferred to Botryotrichum based on phylogenetic affinities. This study is a first attempt to establish an inclusive modern classification of Humicola and humicola-like genera of the Chaetomiaceae. More research is needed to determine the phylogenetic relationships of “humicola”-like species outside the Chaetomiaceae.

Abstract
Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is an epithelial malignant tumor of pleomorphic adenoma. This may be due to the accumulation of genetic instability caused by long-term pleomorphic adenomas. There are few reports of parapharyngeal space carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in the literature study both at home and abroad. This article retrospectively summarized the clinical data of 1 case of pharyngeal space carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma and reviewed the literature. We strengthened the understanding of parapharyngeal space carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, improve the accuracy of diagnosis and reduce misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the effect of CCR3 gene knockout on the proliferation, maturation and apoptosis of eosinophils (EOS) in mice. Method:Bone marrow cells from CCR3 gene knockout mice (experimental group) and wild-type mice (control group) were cultured in vitro and induced differentiation into mature EOS. EOS proliferation was observed by cell counting.Expression of degranulation protein mRNA was detected by qRT-PCR. EOS apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining method. Result:①The number of cells on the 0-14 day of EOS cultured in vitro showed that the number of cells in the experimental group was less than that in the control group at tenth, twelfth, fourteenth days, and the proliferation was slower, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). ②The test results of EOS cells apoptosis showed that, under the condition of containing 10 ng/ml IL-5 or no IL-5, the apoptosis rate of EOS cells in experimental group was higher than that in normal control group, the difference between both groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). ③The expression results of ECP, EPO, MBP mRNA in EOS showed that the expression levels of ECP, EPO, MBP mRNA in the experimental group compared with the normal control group were reduced in varying degrees, the difference between both groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:Knockout CCR3 gene can inhibit the proliferation and maturation of EOS and promote its apoptosis, which provides a theoretical basis for CCR3 as a target gene to treat allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
Objectives: To analyze 3 cases of 17q12 microdeletion syndrome diagnosed prenatally, and to demonstrate clinical phenotype of the syndrome in prenatal setting. Methods: From January 2013 to July 2017, 1 370 women received invasive prenatal diagnosis and chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Among them, 3 fetuses were diagnosed as 17q12 microdeletion syndrome. All 3 cases were low-risk pregnancies. Abnormal structures in fetal kidney were found in all 3 cases, including 1 case of multiple renal cysts, 2 cases of bilateral hyperechogenic kidneys. These women accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis followed by karyotyping, parental fluorescence in situ hybridization or CMA validation. Results: The second and third trimester ultrasound showed that all 3 fetuses had bilateral renal structural abnormalities, including hyperechogenic kidney, multiple cysts and renal pelvis dilatation. The karyotyping of the 3 fetuses were normal. CMA examination showed that each case had 1.4-1.6 Mb deletion in 17q12 region. Two cases were de novo deletion and 1 case was inherited from the mother who had mild symptoms. The 3 women decided to terminate pregnancies after genetic counseling. Conclusion: 17q12 microdeletion syndrome is a recurrent chromosome microdeletion syndrome, and the unique phenotype in prenatal setting is the abnormal structure of bilateral kidneys. A few cases of 17q12 microdeletion syndrome even inherited normally phenotypical parents, and prenatal genetic counseling of 17q12 microdeletion syndrome is relatively difficult.

Abstract
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on 15 milk production traits in Chinese Holstein. The experimental population consisted of 445 cattle, each genotyped by the GGP (GeneSeek genomic profiling)-BovineLD V3 SNP chip, which had 26 151 public SNPs in its manifest file. After data cleaning, 20 326 SNPs were retained for the GWAS. The phenotypes were estimated breeding values of traits, provided by a public dairy herd improvement program center that had been collected once a month for 3 years. Two statistical models, a fixed-effect linear regression model and a mixed-effect linear model, were used to estimate the association effects of SNPs on each of the phenotypes. Genome-wide significant and suggestive thresholds were set at 2.46E-06 and 4.95E-05 respectively. The two statistical models concurrently identified two genome-wide significant (P < 0.05) SNPs on milk production traits in this Chinese Holstein population. The positional candidate genes, which were the ones closest to these two identified SNPs, were EEF2K (eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase) and KLHL1 (kelch like family member 1). These two genes could serve as new candidate genes for milk yield and lactation persistence, yet their roles need to be verified in further function studies.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the post-implant target volumes and dosimetric evaluation with pre-plan, the gross tumor volume(GTV) by CT image fusion-based and the manual delineation of target volume in CT guided radioactive seeds implantation. Methods: A total of 10 patients treated under CT-guidance (125)I seed implantation during March 2016 to April 2016 were analyzed in Peking University Third Hospital.All patients underwent pre-operative CT simulation, pre-operative planning, implantation seeds, CT scanning after seed implantation and dosimetric evaluation of GTV.In every patient, post-implant target volumes were delineated by both two methods, and were divided into two groups. Group 1: image fusion pre-implantation simulation and post-operative CT image, then the contours of GTV were automatically performed by brachytherapy treatment planning system; Group 2: the contouring of the GTV on post-operative CT image were performed manually by three senior radiation oncologists independently. The average of three data was sets. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software, version 3.2.0. The paired t-test was used to compare the target volumes and D(90) parameters in two modality. Results: In Group 1, average volume of GTV in post-operation group was 12-167(73±56) cm(3). D(90) was 101-153 (142±19)Gy. In Group 2, they were 14-186(80±58)cm(3) and 96-146(122±16) Gy respectively. In both target volumes and D(90), there was no statistical difference between pre-operation and post-operation in Group 1.The D(90) was slightly lower than that of pre-plan group, but there was no statistical difference (P=0.142); in Group 2, between pre-operation and post-operation group, there was a significant statistical difference in the GTV (P=0.002). The difference of D(90) was similarly (P<0.01). Conclusion: The method of delineation of post-implant GTV through fusion pre-implantation simulation and post-operative CT scan images, the contours of GTV are automatically performed by brachytherapy treatment planning system appears to have improved more accuracy, reproducibility and convenience than manual delineation of target volume by maximum reduce the interference from artificial factor and metal artifacts. Further work and more cases are required in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the dose distributions of postoperative plans with preoperative plans for seeds implantations of paravertebral/retroperitoneal tumors assisted by 3D printing guide template and CT guidance, explore the effects of the technology for seeds implantations in dosimetry level and provide data support for the optimization and standardization in seeds implantation. Methods: Between December 2015 and July 2016, a total of 10 patients with paravertebral/retroperitoneal tumors (12 lesions) received 3D printing template assist radioactive seeds implantations in department of radiation oncology of Peking University Third Hospital, and included in the study. The diseases included cervical cancer, kidney cancer, abdominal stromal tumor, leiomyosarcoma of kidney, esophageal cancer and carcinoma of ureter. The prescribed doses was 110-150 Gy. All patients received preoperative planning design, individual template design and production, and the dose distribution of postoperative plan was compared with preoperative plan. Dose parameters including D(90), MPD, V(100), V(150,)conformal index(CI), EI of target volume and D(2cc) of organs at risk (spinal cord, aorta, kidney). Statistical software was SPSS 19.0 and statistical method was non-parameters Wilcoxon symbols test. Results: A total of 10 3D printing templates were designed and produced which were including 12 treatment areas.The mean D(90) of postoperative target area (GTV) was 131.1 (97.8-167.4 Gy) Gy. The actual seeds number of post operation increased by 3 to 12 in 5 cases (42.0%). The needle was well distributed. For postoperative plans, the mean D(90,)MPD, V(100,)V(150) was 131.1 Gy, 69.3 Gy, 90.2% and 65.2%, respectively, and which was 140.2 Gy, 65.6 Gy, 91.7% and 26.8%, respectively, in preoperative plans. This meant that the actual dose of target volume was slightly lower than preplanned dose, and the high dose area of target volume was larger than preplanned range, but there was no statistical difference in P value between the two groups except V(150)(P=0.004). The actual dose conformity of target volume was worse than preplanned (CI was 0.58 and 0.62, respectively) and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.019). The actual dose of external target volume was higher than preplanned (EI was 55% and 45.9%, respectively) and the difference had no significance. For organs at risk, the actual mean D(2cc) of spinal cord, aorta and kidney was 24.7, 54.4 and 29.7 Gy, respectively, which was higher than preplanned(20.6, 51.6 and 28.6 Gy, respectively), and there was no significant difference in two groups. Conclusions: Most parameters of postoperative validations for 3D printing template assisted seeds implantation in paravertebral/retroperitoneal are closed to the expectations of preoperative plans which means the improvement of accuracy in treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechamisms of mitochondria-mediated pathway in apoptosis of platelets resulted from in immune induced bone marrow failure. METHODS Thirty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (10 mice in each group): normal group, model group, cyclosporine A(CsA) group. Mouse model of immune bone marrow failure were established. After mouse model was successfully established, the mice in normal group and model group were given saline orally, the mice in CsA group was treated with CsA orally. Blood routine examination of mice in each group was performed by automatic blood cell analyzer; the mitochondrial membrane potential(ΔΨm), cytochrome C(Cyt C), phosphatidylserine (PS), Ca2+ were measured by flow cytometry; expression of BAX, BAK, caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9 was detected by using Western blot method, the changes of bone marrow platelet ultrastructure were observed under transmission electron microscope. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the platelet count of model group decreased significantly, while the level of ΔΨm, caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9 significantly decreased, the level of Cyt C, PS, Ca2+, BAX, BAK increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the platelet count of CsA group increased obviously, while the level of ΔΨm, caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9 of CsA group increased significantly, the level of Cyt C, PS, Ca2+, BAX, BAK of CsA group decreased significantly (P<0.05). Electron microscopy showed that compared with the model group, platelet damage in CsA group were alleviated. CONCLUSION mitochondrial pathway plays an important role in the reduction of platelet resulted from immune bone marrow failure.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the difference of dosimetric parameters between pre-plan and post-plan of 125I radioactive seed implantation assisted by 3D printing individual non-coplanar template (3D printing template) for locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). Methods: From February 2016 to April 2016, a total of 10 patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer received 125I seeds implantation under CT guidance assisted by 3D printing template in Department of Radiation Oncology, Peking University Third Hospital.Each patient underwent CT simulation, three-dimentional treatment planning pre-implantation, 3D printing template design, radioactive seed implantation assisted by 3D printing template and dosimetric verification post implantation. The median activity of seed was 0.63 mCi (0.58 to 0.7 mCi) (2.15- 2.59×107 Bq), and the median number of seeds was 80 (19 to 192). D90, D100, V100, V150, CI, EI, HI, D5cc, D2cc of bladder and bowel of pre-plan and post-plan were calculated, respectively.Paired t test was used to evaluate the difference of dosimetric parameters between pre-plan and post-plan. Results: The median D90 of pre-plan and post-plan were 13 761.0 and 12 798.8 cGy, respectively.The median D100 of pre-plan and post-plan were 5 293.6 and 5 397.9 cGy, respectively.The median V100 of pre-plan and post-plan were 90.0% and 90.0%, respectively.The median V150 of pre-plan and post-plan were 63.8% and 62.4%, respectively.The median CI of pre-plan and post-plan were 0.73 and 0.67.The median EI of pre-plan and post-plan were 0.22 and 0.30, respectively. The median HI of pre-plan and post-plan were 0.29 and 0.31.The median bladder D2cc of pre-plan and post-plan were 3 088.8 and 4 240.4 cGy, respectively.The median bowel D2cc of pre-plan and post-plan were 7 051.6 and 7 903.9 cGy, respectively. Conclusions: 3D printing template might be helpful for locally recurrent rectal cancer patients who received 125I radioactive seed implantation assisted by 3D printing individual template.Seed implantation might have more chances to achieve prescription dose and dose limitation of organs at risk of pre-plan, which is important for precise implantation and quality control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of the serum level of vitamin A (VA) with the severity of pneumonia and recurrent respiratory infection (RRI) within one year after treatment in children with pneumonia, and to provide a basis for serum VA level used as an index for judgment of the condition of pneumonia and prediction of the risk of recurrent respiratory infection. METHODS A total of 88 children with pneumonia aged less than 3 years were enrolled as study subjects. Serum VA level was measured on admission, and the development of RRI was followed up by telephone within 1 year after discharge. RESULTS The children with pneumonia showed a reduction in the serum level of VA (0.8±0.3 μmol/L). The severe pneumonia group had a significantly lower serum level of VA than the mild pneumonia group (0.7±0.3 μmol/L vs 0.9±0.3 μmol/L; P<0.05), as well as a significantly higher detection rate of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) than the mild pneumonia group (63% vs 28%; P<0.05). The children were followed up for 1 year. The VAD-pneumonia group showed a significantly higher incidence of RRI than the normal VA-pneumonia group (49% vs 18%; P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the incidence of RRI between the suspected subclinical vitamin A deficiency (SSVAD)-pneumonia group and the normal VA-pneumonia group, as well as between the VAD-pneumonia group and the SSVAD-pneumonia group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Children with pneumonia often have a low level of VA, and the level of VA is associated with the severity of pneumonia and the development of RRI afterwards.

Abstract
Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to discriminate 62 lily cultivars of 5 hybrid series. Eight ISSR primers generated 104 bands in total, which all showed 100% polymorphism, and an average of 13 bands were amplified by each primer. Two software packages, POPGENE 1.32 and NTSYSpc 2.1, were used to analyze the data matrix. Our results showed that the observed number of alleles (NA), effective number of alleles (NE), Nei's genetic diversity (H), and Shannon's information index (I) were 1.9630, 1.4179, 0.2606, and 0.4080, respectively. The highest genetic similarity (0.9601) was observed between the Oriental x Trumpet and Oriental lilies, which indicated that the two hybrids had a close genetic relationship. An unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means dendrogram showed that the 62 lily cultivars clustered into two discrete groups. The first group included the Oriental and OT cultivars, while the Asiatic, LA, and Longiflorum lilies were placed in the second cluster. The distribution of individuals in the principal component analysis was consistent with the clustering of the dendrogram. Fingerprints of all lily cultivars built from 8 primers could be separated completely. This study confirmed the effect and efficiency of ISSR identification in lily cultivars.

Abstract
Five mitochondrial protein-encoding genes (COX1, COX2, CytB, ND4 and ND5) from the wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), were sequenced and compared with those of 3 other Cecidoidae species, Mayetiola destructor, Rhopalomyia pomum and Asphondylia rosetta. These genes shared similar AT content (74.0-80.1%) and base substitution bias in favour of transversions (68.87-79.72%) over transitions (20.28-37.04%). Substitution saturation analyses indicated fast saturation of transitional substitutions in COX2, CytB, ND4 and ND5, especially at the 3rd codon positions. Analysis of interspecific divergence among the 4 species showed that the sequence divergence rates (evolutionary rates) were in the order of ND4 = CytB > COX2 = ND5 > COX1. Intraspecific genetic polymorphism analysis within the field populations of S. mosellana indicated that ND4 had the highest genetic polymorphism and COX1 the lowest. Genetic variation patterns suggested that COX1 could be used as a molecular marker for phylogenetic analysis across a relatively wide taxonomic range in Cecidomyiidae, while COX2 and ND5 may be useful for estimating relationships at a subgenus level or among closely related species. With its high genetic polymorphism, ND4 was the molecular market most suitable for population genetics studies. These findings will be valuable for our further understanding and studies in evolutionary biology and population genetics for S. mosellana and other Cecidomyiidae insects.

Abstract
Aurora kinases have emerged as attractive targets for the development of novel anti-cancer agents. A combined study of molecular docking, pharmacophore modelling and 3D-QSAR was performed on a series of imidazo [1, 2-a] pyrazines as novel Aurora kinase inhibitors to gain insights into the structural determinants and their structure-activity relationship. An ensemble of conformations based on molecular docking was used for PHASE pharmacophore studies. The developed best-fitted pharmacophore model was validated by diverse chemotypes of Aurora A kinase inhibitors and was consistent with the structural requirements for the docked binding mechanism. Subsequently, the pharmacophore-based alignment was used to develop PHASE and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) 3D-QSAR models. The best CoMSIA model showed good statistics (q (2 )= 0.567, r (2 )= 0.992), and the predictive ability of the model was validated using an external test set of 13 compounds giving a satisfactory prediction ([Formula: see text]). The 3D contour maps provided insight into the binding mechanism and highlighted key structural features that are essential to the inhibitory activity. Based on the PHASE and CoMSIA 3D-QSAR results, a set of novel Aurora A inhibitors were designed that showed excellent potencies.

Abstract
Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus and H. polyrhizus Britt. & Rose), a perennial succulent plant grown in the tropics, is becoming an emerging and important fruit plant in Taiwan. In September of 2009 and 2010, a number of pitaya plants were found to have a distinctive canker on stems. The disease expanded quickly to most commercial planting areas in Taiwan (e.g., Pintung, Chiayi, and Chunghua). Symptoms on the stem were small, circular, sunken, orange spots that developed into cankers. Pycnidia were erumpent from the surface of the cankers and the stems subsequently rotted. After surface disinfestation with 0.1% sodium hypochloride, tissues adjacent to cankers were placed on acidified potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at room temperature for 1 week, after which colonies with dark gray-to-black aerial mycelium grew. Hyphae were branched, septate, and brown and disarticulated into 0- to 1-septate arthrospores. Sporulation was induced by culturing on sterile horsetail tree (Casuarina equisetifolia) leaves. Conidia (12.79 ± 0.72 × 5.14 ± 0.30 μm) from pycnidia were one-celled, hyaline, and ovate. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA was PCR amplified with primers ITS1 and ITS4 (2) and sequenced. The sequence (GenBank Accession No. HQ439174) showed 99% identity to Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (Penz.) Crous & Slippers (GenBank Accession No. GQ330903). On the basis of morphology and nucleotide-sequence identity, the isolates were identified as N. dimidiatum (1). Pathogenicity tests were conducted in two replicates by inoculating six surface-sterilized detached stems of pitaya with either mycelium or conidia. Mycelial plugs from 2-day-old cultures (incubated at 25°C under near UV) were inoculated to the detached stems after wounding with a sterile needle. Conidial suspensions (103 conidia/ml in 200 μl) were inoculated to nonwounded stems. Noninoculated controls were treated with sterile medium or water. Stems were then incubated in a plastic box at 100% relative humidity and darkness at 30°C for 2 days. The symptoms described above were observed on inoculated stems at 6 to 14 days postinoculation, whereas control stems did not develop any symptoms. N. dimidiatum was reisolated from symptomatic tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. dimidiatum causing stem canker of pitaya. References: (1) P. W. Crous et al. Stud.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes prevention has received increasing attention recently. Clinical and experimental studies showed that acupuncture could produce hypoglycemic effect. However, little is known about the effectiveness of acupuncture in diabetes prevention. AIM To investigate the preventive effects of acupuncture on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemia in rats. METHODS Hyperglycemia was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (60 mg/kg). Rats were randomly divided into six groups (no.=8 each group): control, diabetes, preventive acupuncture plus STZ injection, STZ injection plus therapeutic acupuncture, STZ injection plus preventive and therapeutic acupuncture, and preventive and therapeutic acupuncture control. Body weight, blood glucose, serum insulin, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymes were measured by routine standard methods. Histological analysis of pancreatic islets was conducted. RESULTS Preventive acupuncture significantly relieved hyperglycemia, insulin deficiency, weight loss, and pancreatic islet damage in rats with STZ injection; it also significantly reduced serum lipid peroxidation and enhanced superoxide dismutase in the serum and the pancreas without significantly affecting serum glutathione peroxidase and catalase. Therapeutic acupuncture exhibited a hypoglycemic effect in the late stage, but did not significantly improve other parameters. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that preventive acupuncture is beneficial to the control of STZ-induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Abstract
ICF syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by variable immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial abnormalities. Mutations in the catalytic domain of DNMT3B, a gene encoding a de novo DNA methyltransferase, have been recognized in a subset of patients. ICF syndrome is a genetic disease directly related to a genomic methylation defect that mainly affects classical satellites 2 and 3, both components of constitutive heterochromatin. The variable incidence of DNMT3B mutations and the differential methylation defect of alpha satellites allow the identification of two types of patients, both showing an undermethylation of classical satellite DNA. This classification illustrates the specificity of the methylation process and raises questions about the genetic heterogeneity of the ICF syndrome.

Abstract
Thirteen pairs of primers were designed for the entire porcine MSTN gene to enable PCR amplification for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by a PCR-SSCP approach. Altogether 96.5% (1089/1128) of the encoding regions and 971 bp of the non-coding regions were screened. A total of three polymorphisms were identified with PCR-SSCP. They were located in the promoter, intron one and exon three regions of the gene. These polymorphisms were then confirmed to be point mutations (T --> A transversion, G --> A transition and C --> T transition respectively) by sequencing. Allele frequencies were determined for all three SNPs in several different pig breed populations. The polymorphisms were found to be rare in Western breeds, but much more common in Chinese breeds. Whether they have any relationship with the marked difference in lean meat mass between Western and Chinese breeds requires further study.

Abstract
Base flipping is a highly conserved process by which enzymes swivel an entire nucleotide from the DNA base stack into their active site pockets. Uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) is a paradigm enzyme that uses a base flipping mechanism to catalyze the hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond of 2'-deoxyuridine (2'-dUrd) in DNA as the first step in uracil base excision repair. Flipping of 2'-dUrd by UDG has been proposed to follow a "pushing" mechanism in which a completely conserved leucine side chain (Leu-191) is inserted into the DNA minor groove to expel the uracil. Here we report a novel implementation of the "chemical rescue" approach to show that the weak binding affinity and low catalytic activity of L191A or L191G can be completely or partially restored by substitution of a pyrene (Y) nucleotide wedge on the DNA strand opposite to the uracil base (U/A to U/Y). These results indicate that pyrene acts both as a wedge to push the uracil from the base stack in the free DNA and as a "plug" to hinder its reinsertion after base flipping. Pyrene rescue should serve as a useful and novel tool to diagnose the functional roles of other amino acid side chains involved in base flipping.

Abstract
By PCR-RFLPs and PCR-SSCP approach, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of porcine myostatin gene (MSTN) were analyzed in different breeds including "doubled-muscled" Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Landrace, Hamshire, Duroc, Piteran, Erhualian, Min, Hubei White and some hybrids. The three SNPs were located in the 3' encoding region, 5' promoter region and intronl region respectively. For the SNP in the 3' encoding region, which was caused by C-->T transition, the mutation frequency was relatively low: no TT genotype was detected in 274 individuals of different breeds. For the SNP in the 5' promoter region, 560 pigs were investigated. The allele T dominates in the imported lean-type pig breeds such as Yorkshire, Landrace, Duroc, Hampshire, Piteran and hybrid, however, in Erhualian and Hubei White pigs, the allele A was in majority. Polymorphism showed the similar pattern for the SNP in intron 1 region. G was the dominant allele in Yorkshire, Landrace and their hybrids, while in Erhualian and Hubei White pigs the frequency of A was much higher. Obviously they were not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium state. For Min and Yorshire x Erhualian pigs, they were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium state for the SNPs in the 5' promoter region and (or) intron 1 region. The frequency for the A alleles of SNPs in the 5' promoter region and intron 1 region was higher for "double-muscled" Yorkshire than for Yorkshire and linkage for these two mutation sites was also observed.
