Abstract
In this case, various characterization technologies have been employed to probe dissociation mechanism of cellulose in N,N-dimethylacetamide/lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) system. These results indicate that coordination of DMAc ligands to the Li+-Cl- ion pair results in the formation of a series of Lix(DMAc)yClz (x = 1, 2; y = 1, 2, 3, 4; z = 1, 2) complexes. Analysis of interaction between DMAc ligand and Li center indicate that Li bond plays a major role for the formation of these Lix(DMAc)yClz complexes. And the saturation and directionality of Li bond in these Lix(DMAc)yClz complexes are found to be a tetrahedral structure. The hydrogen bonds between two cellulose chains could be broken at the nonreduced end of cellulose molecule via combined effects of basicity of Cl- ion and steric hindrance of [Li (DMAc)4]+ unit. The unique feature of Li bond in Lix(DMAc)yClz complexes is a key factor in determination of the dissociation mechanism.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between the osseous structure of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and three different status of anterior disc location, so that it could guide the clinical diagnosis further. Methods: Fifty-two patients [46 females and 6 males, with an age of (27.8±8.3) years] who treated with MRI and cone beam CT, were recruited from the Temporomandibular Joint Specialist Clinic, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, between March 2018 to December 2021. According to the radiographic findings of the level of anterior disc displacement (ADD) in TMJ, patients were divided into three groups: normal articular disc position (NADP, n=28 TMJs), anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDWR, n=28 TMJs), and anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDWoR, n=28 TMJs). In the light of the reconstructed three-dimensional model, ten representative morphological parameters including condylar volume (CV), condylar superficial area (CSA), fossa volume (FV), fossa superficial area (FSA), the proportion of the condylar volume in the articular fossa (CV%), the proportion of the condylar superficial area in the articular fossa (CSA%), superior joint space (SJS), anterior joint space (AJS), posterior joint space (PJS), and medial joint space (MJS), were measured respectively under one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis Htest and receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve) analyses. Results: CV and CSA values varied significantly in the pathological progression from normal location to irreversible anterior displacement in TMJ. For CV value, NADP group [(1 834.90±667.67) mm3]>ADDWR group [(1 747.34±369.42) mm3]>ADDWoR group [(1 256.29±418.27) mm3] [t=4.31, P(NADP-ADDWoR)<0.001; t=3.66, P(ADDWR-ADDWoR)<0.001], for CSA value, NADP group [(859.27±216.01) mm2]>ADDWR group [(838.23±118.82) mm2]>ADDWoR group [(669.14±150.26) mm2] [t=4.27, P(NADP-ADDWoR)<0.001; t=3.80, P(ADDWR-ADDWoR)<0.001]. The difference of SJS value in NADP group [(2.22±0.88) mm], ADDWR group [(1.94±0.64) mm] and ADDWoR group [(1.45±0.57) mm], was statistically significant [t=4.11, P(NADP-ADDWoR)<0.001; t=2.63, P(ADDWR-ADDWoR)=0.010]. The results of MJS in NADP group [(5.03±1.41) mm], ADDWR group [(3.86±1.32) mm], and ADDWoR group [(4.91±1.65) mm] were significantly different [t=3.00, P(NADP-ADDWR)=0.004; t=2.63, P(ADDWR-ADDWoR)=0.009]. As calculated by the ROC curve analysis, CV, CSA and SJS showed that (AUCCV=0.77, AUCCSA=0.76; AUCSJS=0.76) for the NADP and ADDWoR groups, and (AUCCV=0.80; AUCCSA=0.80; AUCSJS=0.72) for the ADDWR and ADDWoR groups. While the diagnostic accuracy of MJS for the comparison in NADP versus ADDWR and ADDWR versus ADDWoR was respectively AUC(NADP-ADDWR)=0.73, and AUC(ADDWR-ADDWoR)=0.69. Conclusions: CV, CSA, SJS, and MJS were significantly associated with the different disc displacement status, and the condyle in TMJ ADD exhibited three-dimensionally altered dimensions. They could be considered as promising biometric markers to diagnose the ADD status.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-supported percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO) patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: The CTO patients with LVEF≤35% and undergoing CTO-PCI assisted by ECMO in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from December 2018 to March 2022 were enrolled in this study. The post-procedure complications, changes of LVEF from pre-procedure to post-procedure during hospitalization, and the incidence of all-cause mortality and changes of LVEF after discharge were assessed. Results: A total of 17 patients aged (59.4±11.8) years were included. There were 14 males. The pre-procedure LVEF of these patients were (29.00±4.08)%. Coronary angiography results showed that there were 29 CTO lesions in these 17 patients. There was 1 in left main coronary artery, 7 in left anterior descending artery, 11 in left circumflex artery, and 10 in right coronary artery. ECMO was implanted in all patients before procedure. Among 25 CTO lesions attempted to cross, 24 CTO were successfully implanted with stents. All patients underwent successful PCI for at least one CTO lesion. The number of drug-eluting stents implantation per patient were 4.6±1.3. After procedure, there were 8 patients with hemoglobin decreased>20 g/L, and 1 patient with ECMO-access-site related bleeding. The LVEF value at a median duration of 2.5 (2.0-5.5) days after procedure significantly increased to (38.73±7.01)% (P<0.001 vs. baseline). There were no in-hospital deaths. Patients were followed up for 360 (120, 394) days after discharge, 3 patients died (3/17). The LVEF value was (41.80±7.32)% at 155 (100, 308) days after discharge, which was significantly higher than the baseline value (P<0.001). Conclusion: The results of present study demonstrate that it is feasible, efficient and safe to perform ECMO)-supported CTO-PCI in CTO patients with reduced LVEF.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application of up-conversing phosphor technology (UPT) to detect pathogenic organisms in the air. Methods: The performance of UPT was verified with Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia pestis and Escherichia coli O157 as simulated strains, including stability, specificity, sensitivity and response time tests; Air particle sampler is used to collect air samples in the field microenvironment test chamber, and UPT is used for detection. At the same time, compared with the traditional culture method, the practicability of UPT is verified. Results: The coefficient of variation in laboratory was 9.62% and 8.02% when the concentration of 107 CFU/ml and 108 CFU/ml were detected by UPT. The results were less than the allowable target, and the detection system had good stability. The specificity of UPT was verified by Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that no non-Staphylococcus aureus was detected, and the positive detection rate of different kinds of Staphylococcus aureus was 100%. The specificity of the detection system was good. The sensitivity of UPT for detecting Staphylococcus aureus was 104 CFU/ml. Detection sensitivity of Yersinia pestis ≥103 CFU/ml; The detection sensitivity of Escherichia coli O157 is ≥103 CFU/ml, and the response time of UPT to bacteria is within 15 min (all 10 min 15 s). The detection results of bacteria contentration in the air of the on-site microenvironment test cabin by UPT showed that when the concentration of Escherichia coli O157 in the air reached above 104 CFU/m3, the detection results of UPT were positive, and with the increase of air concentration, the numerical concentration measured by UPT showed an upward trend, which was positively correlated with the concentration of bacteria in the air. Conclusion: UPT may be feasible as a rapid method to evaluate the species and contentration of pathogenic organisms in the air.

Abstract
Agricultural biomass wastes are an abundant feedstock for biorefineries. However, most of these wastes are not treated in the right way. Here, corn stalks (CSs) were assigned as the raw material to produce cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) via in situ Fenton oxidation treatment. In order to probe the formation mechanism of an in situ Fenton reactor, the bonding interaction of hydrated Fe2+ ions and fiber has been systemically studied based on adsorption experiments, IR spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate that the coordination of the hydrated Fe2+ ion to the fiber generates a quasi-octahedral-coordinated sphere around the Fe center. The Jahn-Teller distortion effect of the Fe center promotes the Fe-O2H2 bonding interaction via reduction of the energy gap of the dz2 orbital of the Fe center and π2py/π2pz orbitals of the H2O2 molecule. The oxidation treatment of the pretreated CS by the in situ Fenton process shows the formation of a new carboxyl group on the fiber surface. The scanning electron microscopy image shows that the Fenton-treated fiber was scattered into the nanosized CNFs with a diameter of up to 50 nm. Both experimental and theoretical studies show that the pseudo-first-order kinetic reaction could describe the in situ Fenton kinetics well. Moreover, the proposed catalytic cycle shows that the large thermodynamic barrier is the cleavage of the O-O bond of H2O2 to generate the •OH radical, and the whole catalytic cycle is found to be spontaneous at room temperature.

Abstract
Liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins occur in a number of biological processes, such as regulation of transcription, processing, and RNA maturation. Sm-like protein 4 (LSM4) is involved in multiple processes, including pre-mRNA splicing and P-bodies assembly. Before investigating the involvement of LSM4 in the separation of the two liquid phases during RNA processing or maturation, the separation of the liquid phases in an in vitro preparation of LSM4 protein should be first be detected. The mCherry-LSM4 plasmid was derived from pET30a and used to isolate mCherry-LSM4 protein from prokaryotic cells (Escherichia coli strain BL21). The mCherry LSM4 protein was purified using Ni-NTA resin. The protein was further purified by fast protein liquid chromatography. Delta-Vision wide-field fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the dynamic liquid-liquid phase separation of the LSM4 protein in vitro. Analysis of the LSM4 protein structure using the Predictor of Natural Disordered Regions database revealed that its C-terminus contains a low complexity domain. A purified preparation of full-length human LSM4 protein was obtained from E. coli. Human LSM4 was shown to provide concentration-dependent separation of liquid-liquid phases in vitro in buffer with crowding reagents. Salts in high concentration and 1,6-hexanediol block the LSM4-induced separation of the two liquid phases. In addition, in vitro fusion of LSM4 protein droplets is observed. The results suggest that full-length human LSM4 protein can undergo liquid-liquid phase separation in vitro.

Abstract
A 35-year-old male patient presented to the hospital with binocular blurred vision for 2 weeks. The visual acuity of both eyes was 0.8. Fundus examination showed multiple yellow-white punctate lesions in the posterior pole of both eyes. OCT showed cystoid edema and submacular edema, thickening of ellipsoid zone and enhancement of reflex in macular region. Fundus autofluorescence showed strong autofluorescence at the lesion site. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed no fluorescence leakage in the lesion area. The patient was diagnosed with acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy based on medical history, ocular multimodal examination and general examination. The patient was not given special treatment, but one week later, the lesion was fused and expanded, and the macular edema was worse than before.

Abstract
No consensus on standardized technique of enterostomy creation has been made meanwhile high heterogeneity of surgical procedure exists in 'stoma creation' chapters of textbooks or atlases of colorectal surgery. The present article reviews the anatomy of tendinous aponeurotic fibers which is crucial for abdominal wall tension and integrity. Through empirical practice we hypothesize a procedure of enterostomy creation basied on abdominal wall tension plus anchor suture for fascia fixation which could theoretically decrease short-term stoma complication rates and long-term parastomal hernia rates. Surgical techniques are as followed: (1) preoperative stoma site mark for de-functioning ileostomy should be positioned at the lateral border of rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) to decrease the difficulty of stoma reversal and for permanent colostomy should be placed overlying the RAM to promote adhesion; (2)Optimal circular removal or lineal opening of skin, and avoid dissection of subcutaneous tissue; (3) Lineal dissection of natural strong fascia (rectus sheath) at stoma site and blunt separation of muscular fibers. The tunnel of the fascia should be made with appropriate size without undue tension. To prevent the formation of dead space, additional suturing at fascia layer is unnecessary. (4) Anchor suture for fascia fixation at two ends of fascia opening could be considered to avoid delayed fascia disruption and parastomal hernia. (5) After pull-through of ileum or colon loop, 4-8 interrupted seromuscular sutures could be placed to attach loop to skin. For ileostomy, self-eversion of mucosa can be successful in vast majority of cases and a Brooke ileostomy is not necessary. The efficacy and safety of this procedure should be tested in future trials.

Abstract
Objective: To screen and analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of replacing single missing tooth by autograft tooth, so as to provide reference for clinical judgment of surgical prognosis. Methods: A total of 176 patients (188 teeth) underwent autotransplantation of teeth in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University from January 2017 to December 2019, including 85 teeth of males and 103 teeth of females were involved. The age was (33.0±9.8) years (16-65 years). The possible factors affecting the prognosis of replacing single missing tooth by autograft tooth were summarized and grouped, and the clinical and imaging data were recorded and judged. The surgical records and photographic data from the patients' previous medical records were retrospectively analyzed. The survival analysis method was used for statistical analysis to screen out the factors affecting the cumulative survival rate of transplanted teeth. Results: The 5-year cumulative survival rate of 188 transplanted teeth was 88.4%. Univariate Log-Rank analysis showed that age (P<0.001), sex (P=0.008), smoking (P<0.001), position of recipient area (P<0.001), height of alveolar bone in recipient area (P<0.001), time of donor tooth in vitro (P<0.001), use of donor model (P<0.001) and initial stability (P<0.001) were significantly correlated with cumulative survival rate of transplanted teeth. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that smoking (β=-2.812, P=0.049), alveolar bone height (β=1.521, P=0.020), donor time (β=-2.001, P=0.019), use of donor model (β=1.666, P=0.034) and initial stability (β=-1.417, P=0.033) were significantly correlated with the cumulative survival rate of transplanted teeth. Conclusions: The prognosis of autogenous tooth transplantation can be predicted by smoking, height of alveolar bone in recipient area, time of donor teeth in vitro, use of donor model and initial stability. Good prognosis of transplanted teeth can be obtained by using donor model during operation, reducing the time of donor teeth in vitro, taking effective methods to restore alveolar bone height, maintaining good initial stability, and good oral health education after operation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features of pediatric diffuse midline glioma with H3K27 alteration and to analyze their relationship with prognosis. Methods: Forty-one cases of childhood diffuse midline glioma with H3K27 alteration were collected at Children's Hospital of Fudan University (39 cases) and Xi'an Children's Hospital (2 cases), from July 2016 to July 2020. The clinical manifestations, imaging data, histopathology, immunohistochemical phenotype and molecular genetics features, tumor size, site and histological grading were evaluated. Results: Among the 41 cases, 21 were males and 20 females, the age of onset was 3-14 years, the average and median age was 7.6 years and 7.0 years, respectively. The tumor sites were brain stem (n=36) and other locations (n=5). The clinical manifestations were dizziness, gait disturbance, and limb weakness, etc. The MRI features were variable. The histology varied from low-grade to high-grade glioma with neuron differentiation. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells expressed H3K27M, GFAP, and Olig2. Genetic study showed that 76% (16/21) of tumors had H3F3A gene mutation, mostly accompanied by TP53 (62%, 13/21) missense mutation; five tumors (24%, 5/21) had HIST1H3B gene mutation, accompanied by missense mutations in ACVR1 and PI3K pathway-related gene PIK3CA (4/5) and PIK3R1 (1/5) mutations. The prognosis was dismal with only one alive and others died. The average and median overall survival time was 7 months and 4 months, respectively. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that age, tumor location, radiologically maximum tumor diameter, histologic grading, and surgical methods were not significantly associated with overall survival rate (P>0.05). Conclusions: Pediatric diffuse midline gliomas with H3K27 alteration have unique clinicopathological and genetic characteristics. The prognosis is poor. The tumor location and histopathologic grading are not related to prognosis. New specific drugs and comprehensive treatment are needed to improve the prognosis.

Abstract
To explore the protective immune effect induced by mucosal delivery heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA)-a candidate vaccine antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Female C57BL/6 mice were between 6 and 8 weeks of age before experimental use. Thirty mice received different immunization strategies and were randomly divided into the control group, the early secreting antigen target-6 (ESAT-6) intranasal immunization group, the HBHA intranasal immunization group, the BCG priming PBS control group, or BCG priming HBHA boost group, 6 mice in each group. In order to analyzed the immune effect, the concentrations of plasma Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and other cytokines were measured by ELISA. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses were performed to detect the relative quantity (RQ) mRNA of IL-17A in the lung. The lung tissue sections were stained to detect the formation of the tertiary lymphoid structures. The chemokines contributed to formation of the tertiary lymphoid structures were also measured. Flow cytometry was used to detect the frequency of Th1 and Th17 cells in the system. Sixty mice in the BCG priming PBS control group and the BCG priming HBHA boost group were sacrificed at different time points after infection to count the lung bacterial burden. The concentrations of plasma IL-17A and relative quantity of lung IL-17A mRNA were highest in the BCG priming HBHA boost group [(14.76±4.73) pg/mL,RQ (12.27±6.71)], which was significantly higher than the control group [(5.57±2.95) pg/mL,RQ (1.30±0.97)] (t=4.213, P<0.001; t=5.984, P<0.001), and also significantly higher than the BCG priming PBS control group [(6.81±2.18) pg/mL,RQ (1.44±1.16)] (t=3.646 P=0.001; t=6.185 P<0.001). Compared with the BCG priming PBS control group (0.38±0.38)% the frequency of spleen Th17 cells were also significantly increased (t=-0.280, P=0.048) in the BCG-primary HBHA boost group (1.02±0.34)%. In addition, HBHA boosting could promote better formation of the tertiary lymphoid structures in the lung, and decrease the bacterial load on the early stage after BCG challenge. Collectively, mucosal delivery of HBHA can effectively enhance the protective effect after BCG vaccination, and it is a potential candidate vaccine component.

Abstract
Zinc sulfide nanospheres (ZnS NSs) were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by the Hummer's method. ZnS NSs-rGO/ITO electrode was synthesized by heat treatment at a certain temperature, which was used for the detailed electrochemical determination of levodopa (LD). Finally, they were annealed to form the ZnS NSs-rGO/ITO electrode for detecting levodopa (LD). The results reveal that the ZnS NSs with the diameter of ~1 μm are covered by rGO. The ZnS NSs-rGO/ITO electrode has a good sensitivity of 1.43 μA μM -1 for the determination of LD in the concentration range of 1-40 μM. Moreover, it also shows a good selectivity, reproducibility and stability. In order to verify the practicability, we also use the electrode to detect LD in human serum. The detection results also prove that the electrode can be used in real life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of mitochondrial metabolic functions of macrophages following Echinococcus multilocularis infections, so as to provide insights into the pathogenesis of alveolar echinococcosis. METHODS Two groups were assigned according to different treatment methods. In the culture group, mouse leukemic monocyte macrophage RAW264.7 cells were cultured with 2 000 E. multilocularis at a ratio of 500∶1, while RAW264.7 cells in the control group were given no treatment. Then, both the culture and control groups were further divided into the 24 h and 72 h subgroups. Mitochondria were stained with MitoTracker® Deep Red FM and the mean fluorescence intensity of macrophage mitochondria was measured with the Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader. The mitochondrial DNA copy number was quantified using the quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay, and the mitochondrial energy metabolism was monitored using the Seahorse XF assay. In addition, the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected using flow cytometry. RESULTS The mean fluorescence intensities of macrophage mitochondria were significantly lower in the 24 h (15 341 ± 2 532 vs. 17 823 ± 3 429; t = 6.379, P < 0.01) and 72 h (18 102 ± 3 505 vs. 21 511 ± 5 144; t = 17.680, P < 0.01) culture subgroups than in the corresponding control subgroups, and lower mitochondrial DNA copy numbers were measured in the 72 h culture subgroup than in the 72 h control group [(3.23 × 109 ± 1.78 × 107) vs. (4.39 × 109 ± 3.70 × 107); t = 8.85, P < 0.001]. The oxygen consumption rates were significantly greater in the 24 h [(241.70 ± 73.13) pmol/min vs. (69.05 ± 52.30) pmol/min; t = 7.89, P < 0.01] and 48 h culture groups [(249.50 ± 42.06) pmol/min vs. (60.28 ± 40.66) pmol/min; t = 8.64, P < 0.01] than in the corresponding control groups, and a higher extracellular acidification rate was seen in the 48 h culture group than in the 48 h control group ([ 111.6 ± 17.49) mpH/min vs. (35.05 ± 7.57) mpH/min; t = 16.90, P < 0.01]. In addition, flow cytometry detected higher mean fluorescence intensity of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (58 264 ± 10 087 vs. 4 307 ± 97; t = 12.930, P < 0.01) and lower mitochondrial membrane potential (9.833% ± 2.285% vs. 2.667% ± 0.208%; t = 6.645, P < 0.01) in the 72 h culture group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS E. multilocularis infection may impair mitochondrial functions and inhibit oxidative phosphorylation of macrophages, resulting in increased macrophage glycolysis. It is speculated that the alteration of macrophage metabolic states may contribute to the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of alveolar echinococcosis.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the anatomical location of intrapulmonary metastatic lymph nodes and relapse risk and survival in patients with N1 non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical and pathological data of 138 patients with completely resected N1 NSCLC was conducted. There were 79 males and 59 females, aged from 26 to 81 years with an average of (59±10) years. All of them were treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery Ⅱ of Peking University Cancer Hospital between January 2007 and December 2015. Patients were stratified based on the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) N1 classification and the modified pathological N1 classification strategy, respectively. According to modified pathological N1 classification strategy, which was defined based on the anatomical location of intrapulmonary metastatic lymph nodes, N1 nodes were subcategorized into the hilar (stations 10-11, mN1b) (n=36) and peripheral (stations 12-14, mN1a) (n=102) zones. The Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare the relapse risk and survival analysis, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two staging methods through univariate and multivariate analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the two classifications in stratifying patients with distinct risks of disease relapse and survival. Results: According to the modified N1 classification, the differences in 5-year DFS and OS between the subgroups (mN1a vs mN1b) were statistically significant(59.5% vs 35.7%; 81.2% vs 56.0%; both P<0.05). However, following the 8th edition of the AJCC N1 classification, no significant differences were found in DFS and OS between the subgroups (both P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the modified N1 classification was an independent prognostic factor to DFS (HR=1.814, 95%CI: 1.005-3.275) and OS (HR=3.919, 95%CI: 1.918-8.009) (all P<0.05). However, the 8th edition of the AJCC N1 classification was not an independent prognostic factor to DFS (HR=1.360, 95%CI:0.767-2.412) or OS (HR=1.620, 95%CI:0.839-3.131) (both P>0.05) as revealed by multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The relapse risk and survival could be assessed effectively using the modified pathological N1 classification, which was defined and subcategorized based on the anatomical location of intrapulmonary metastatic lymph nodes for N1 NSCLC patients. The modified pathological N1 classification is superior to the 8th edition of the AJCC classification.

Abstract
Scars caused by trauma will not only affect the appearance and cause dysfunction, but also affect the quality of psychological life of the patients to varying degrees. With the in-depth understanding of the process of scar formation after trauma and the continuous development of related intervention methods, early intervention within 3 months after trauma has been proved to be able to promote wound healing, inhibit scar hyperplasia, and interfere with the natural remodeling of scar collagen. This review summarizes the process of scar formation after trauma, as well as the timing and method of early intervention.

Abstract
This study investigated whether biomarkers in the second trimester of pregnancy, including the white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentration, and procalcitonin (PCT) concentration, were associated with miscarriage during the second trimester of pregnancy. Sixty-two asymptomatic patients in their second trimester of pregnancy were included in the control group (group A). Among 67 patients diagnosed with late threatened miscarriage, 46 patients with ongoing pregnancy were included in group B and 21 patients with subsequent miscarriage were included in group C. The serum of these patients was collected and the biomarkers were analyzed. A paired-samples t-test was used for the comparison between the groups before and after the miscarriage. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of different biomarkers for miscarriage during the second trimester of pregnancy. WBC count, neutrophil percentage, and hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in group C than in groups A and B (p<0.05). Lymphocyte percentage and albumin levels decreased significantly from group A to group C (p<0.05). In contrast, NLR increased significantly from group A to group C (p<0.05). There was a significant decrease in the WBC count, neutrophil percentage, hemoglobin concentration, and post-miscarriage NLR among the cases with miscarriage (p<0.05). The area under the curve of WBC count, NLR, hs-CRP, and the combination of these three factors for the prediction of late miscarriage varied from 78.0% to 82.6%. The combination of these three factors had the highest specificity of 91.1%, while hs-CRP had the highest sensitivity of 88.9%. WBC count, NLR, and hs-CRP levels are strongly associated with miscarriage during the second trimester of pregnancy, indicating that they are potential predictive biomarkers.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy. Methods: A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China. Information of age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, IPI, history of diseases, complications of pregnancy, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, and pregnancy outcomes of the participants were collected by consulting medical records of pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital during 2011 to 2018. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to IPI:<18 months, 18-23 months, 24-59 months and ≥60 months. According to the WHO's recommendation, with the IPI of 24-59 months group as a reference, to the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy were analyzed. Stratified analysis was further carried out based on age, history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and premature delivery, to explore the differences in the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes among women with different characteristics. Results: A total of 8 026 women were included in this study. There were 423, 623, 5 512 and 1 468 participants in <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group, respectively. (1) The age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of cesarean section, GDM, gestational hypertension and cesarean section delivery rate of <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group were gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). (2) After adjusting for potential confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, the risk of premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and oligohydramnios were increased by 42% (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.07-1.88, P=0.015), 46% (OR=1.46, 95%CI: 1.13-1.88, P=0.004), and 64% (OR=1.64, 95%CI: 1.13-2.38, P=0.009) respectively for women in the IPI≥60 months group. No effects of IPI on other pregnancy outcomes were found in this study (P>0.05). (3) After stratified by age and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of oligohydramnios for women with advanced age (OR=2.87, 95%CI: 1.41-5.83, P=0.004); and <18 months could increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women under the age of 35 (OR=1.59, 95%CI: 1.04-2.43, P=0.032). Both the risk of premature rupture of membranes (OR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.18-2.13, P=0.002) and premature delivery (OR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.07-2.17, P=0.020) were significantly increased in the IPI≥60 months group. After stratified by history of GDM and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage for women with a history of GDM (OR=5.34, 95%CI: 1.45-19.70, P=0.012) and an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of GDM (OR=1.44, 95%CI: 1.10-1.90, P=0.009). After stratified by history of macrosomia and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months could increase the proportion of cesarean section for women with a history of macrosomia (OR=4.11, 95%CI: 1.18-14.27, P=0.026) and the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of macrosomia (OR=1.46, 95%CI: 1.12-1.89, P=0.005). After stratified by history of premature delivery and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of premature delivery (OR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.13-1.92, P=0.004). Conclusions: Both IPI≥60 months and <18 months would increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. Healthcare education and consultation should be conducted for women of reproductive age to maintain an appropriate IPI when they plan to pregnant again, to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and identify the causative gene of a case with congenital deafness. Methods: Detailed medical history and clinical examination of a 4-year-old male child with congenital deafness were conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University in June 2016. He was diagnosed with sensorineural deafness. The venous blood of the child and his parents was drawn, and genomic DNA was extracted. Proband's DNA was performed with targeted capture of high-throughput sequencing, then Sanger sequencing was used to verify the suspected mutation and segregation in this pedigree. According to the genetic diagnosis of the proband's deafness, ophthalmic examinations were performed. Genetic prenatal diagnosis was performed when the proband's mother was pregnant again. Results: The patient was detected with p.Trp1466Ter/p.Tyr2042Ter compound heterozygous mutations of MYO7A gene with targeted high-throughput sequencing. The mutation of p.Trp1466Ter was a reported mutation, while p.Tyr2042Ter has not been reported. In addition to congenital deafness, retinitis pigmentosa was also found by ophthalmologic examination, and the patient was clinically diagnosed with Usher syndrome type 1. Amniocentesis and fetal DNA sequencing were performed on the repregnancy fetus of this family at 18 weeks of gestation. The heterozygous mutation of MYO7A gene p.Tyr2042Ter was found, and the other allele was the wild type, indicating that the child will not exhibit clinical manifestations of Usher syndrome type 1. Indeed, the second child passed neonatal hearing screening. Conclusions: The clinical features and genetic variants were delineated in this family with Usher syndrome type 1. The results of the current study have enriched the phenotype and genotype data of the disease and provided a basis for genetic counseling.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of stomatin protein expression on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung cancer cells. Methods: The expressions of stomatin mRNA in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE) and lung cancer cells (H520, A549, 95D, H460, Glc-82, 973 and H1299) were detected by Real-time PCR. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect stomatin protein expression in 4 lung cancer tissue microarrays with 259 cases of lung cancer and adjacent normal tissues. After knocking down the expression of stomatin in A549 cells, the proliferation was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, the expression levels of total protein kinase B (AKT) and phosphorylated AKT at Ser473 were detected by Western blot. BALB/c nude mice were used to detect the tumorigenic ability of stomatin downregulated A549 cells (3 mice) and control cells (3 mice), and the protein expressions of stomatin, Ki67 and CD31 in tumor tissues were detected by IHC. Results: The M (range) of stomatin mRNA expression level in H520, A549, 95D, H460, Glc-82, 973, H1299 and HBE cells were 2.71 (2.66), 3.55 (3.16), 0.26 (0.22), 2.08 (1.98), 0.87 (0.35), 1.72 (2.53), 1.10 (1.82) and 0.01 (0.02), respectively. The mRNA expression levels of stomatin in H520, A549 and H460 cells were higher than that of HBE cells (all P<0.05), whereas there was no statistical difference among 95D, Glc-82, 973, H1299 and HBE cells (all P>0.05). IHC of lung tissue microarrays showed that the positive rate of stomatin expression in human lung cancer tissues was 34.7% (90/259), which was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues [1.9% (5/259)] (P<0.05). In stomatin positive lung cancer tissues, the M (IQR) of tumor size for lower stomatin expression tissues (67 cases) was [41.22 (2 761.50) cm], which was smaller than that of higher stomatin expression tissues [(23 cases, 57.98(1 333.50) cm) (P<0.05). After knocking down stomatin expression, the fourth day absorbance value of stomatin-downregulated A549 cells was 0.55±0.07, which was lower than that of control cells (0.79±0.16) (P=0.012). The proportion of early apoptotic cells of stomatin-downregulated A549 cells [8.83 (53.00)] was higher than that of control cells [4.17 (25.00)] (P=0.026). The Ser473 phosphorylated AKT protein expression level in stomatin-downregulated A549 cells was 0.68±0.16, which was decreased compared with control cells (1.16±0.39) (P<0.05). The M (IQR) of total AKT expression level in stomatin-downregulated A549 cells was 4.25 (17.00), without statistically significant difference from control cells [4.75 (19.00)] (P>0.05). After inoculation of stomatin-downregulated A549 cells in nude mice for 43 days, the tumor volume was (37.93±3.12) mm(3), which was significantly smaller than that of the control group [(454.04±32.39) mm(3)] (P<0.001). And the expression levels of stomatin, nuclear proliferation antigen Ki67, and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule CD31 were 1.78±0.69, 5.19±3.84, and 10.77±1.67, respectively, which were all decreased compared with control group (17.52±8.76, 54.14±41.02, and 19.72±6.97, respectively) (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Stomatin promotes lung cancer cell proliferation and inhibits cell early apoptosis by regulating AKT signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety profile of alirocumab (PCSK9 inhibitor) versus ezetimibe on top of maximally tolerated statin dose in high cardiovascular risk Chinese patients with hyperlipidemia. Methods: The ODYSSEY EAST study was a randomized, double-blinded, double dummy, active-control, parallel group, multi-centers clinical trial, the Chinese sub-population included 456 patients with hyperlipidemia and high cardiovascular risk on maximally tolerated statin dose. Patients were randomized (2∶1) to receive the subcutaneous injection of alirocumab (75 mg Q2W; with dose up titration to 150 mg Q2W at week 12 if low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was ≥1.81 mmol/L at week 8) or the oral administration of ezetimibe (10 mg daily) for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was percentage change in calculated LDL-C from baseline to week 24. Key secondary efficacy endpoints included percentage change from baseline to week 12 or 24 in LDL-C (week 12) and other lipid parameters, including apolipoprotein (Apo) B, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), TC, lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), HDL-C, fasting triglycerides (TG), and Apo A1, and the proportion of patients reaching LDL-C<1.81 mmol/L at week 24. Safety profile of therapeutic drugs was also assessed during the treatment period. Results: The mean age of 456 Chinese patients was (59.5±10.9) years, 341(74.8%) patients were male, 303 patients (66.4%) in alirocumab group and 153 patients (33.5%) in ezetimibe group. Demographic characteristics, disease characteristics, and lipid parameters at baseline were similar between the two groups. LDL-C was reduced more from baseline to week 12 and 24 in alirocumab group versus ezetimibe group, the difference of their least-squares mean (standard error) percent change were(-35.2±2.2)% and (-36.9±2.5)% (both P<0.001). At 12 weeks, alirocumab had significant reduction on Lp(a), Apo B, total cholesterol and non HDL-C, the difference of their least-squares mean (standard error) percent change were (-40.3±2.8)%, (-27.7±1.8)%, (-19.6±1.5)% and (-27.7±1.9)%, respectively (all P<0.001). At 24 weeks, the percent of patients who reached LDL-C<1.81 mmol/L and LDL-C<1.42 mmol/L was significantly higher in alirocumab group (85.3% and 70.5%) than in ezetimibe group (42.2% and 17.0%, both P<0.001), and alirocumab use was also associated with significant reduction on Lp(a), Apo B, total cholesterol and non HDL-C, the difference of their least-squares mean (standard error) percent change were (-37.2±2.8)%, (-29.1±2.0)%, (-21.6±1.6)% and (-29.6±2.2)%, respectively (all P<0.001). The incidence of treatment related adverse events was similar between the two treatment groups (223/302 patients (73.8%) in alirocumab group and 109/153 patients (71.2%) in ezetimibe group). Respiratory infection, urinary infection, dizziness and local injection-site reactions were the most frequently reported adverse events. Conclusions: In high cardiovascular risk patients with hyperlipidemia from China on maximally tolerated statin dose, the reduction of LDL-C induced by alirocumab is more significant than that induced by ezetimibe. Both treatments were generally safe during the observation period of study.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the expression of p-AKT and p-mTOR, the key proteins in PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in pediatric Burkitt lymphoma (BL), and to investigate the clinical and prognostic significance. Methods: Fifty-eight cases of pediatric BL and thirty cases of reactive hyperplastic lymphadenitis (RH) were collected at Children's Hospital of Fudan University from September 2011 to July 2018. Paraffin sections of tissues were immune stained for p-AKT and p-mTOR, and the expression was assessed and correlated with the clinical features and prognosis. Results: A total of 58 cases were diagnosed and 6 cases lost the follow-up. Of the remaining 52 BL patients including 43 males and 9 females, the median age was 5 years (range: 2 to 14 years). Regarding to the correlation between the two biomarkers, Spearman test showed that p-mTOR was positively associated with the expression of p-AKT (r=0.759, P<0.001). Of all BL patients, the positive rates of p-AKT and p-mTOR were 62.1% (36/58) and 60.3%(35/58) respectively, both significantly higher than control group (P=0.011, P=0.035 respectively). The presence of p-AKT was significantly associated with higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH≥573 IU/L) level in patients of the disease (P=0.006), while p-mTOR was increased both in the higher LDH and lower ratio of albumin to globulin (A/G) group (P=0.006, P=0.034 respectively). Expression of p-AKT and p-mTOR did not show any statistical correlation with sex, age, St.jude stage, tumor size, B-symptom present or not, number of extra-nodal sites or international prognostic index (IPI) (P>0.05). Fifty-two patients had a median follow-up of 40 months (range: 5-87 months). Univariate analysis showed that p-AKT expression was significant in predicting both inferior OS (5-year estimate, 72.7% vs. 94.7%, χ(2)=4.123, P=0.042) and PFS (5-year estimate, 66.7% vs. 94.7%, χ(2)=5.822, P=0.016). The 5-year OS rate was 71.0% (22/31) for the p-mTOR positive cohort of patients compared to 95.2% (17/21) for p-mTOR negative group (χ(2)=4.881, P=0.027); however, there was no statistical significance in 5-year PFS rate (P>0.05). Especially, the 5-year OS and PFS rate of p-AKT/p-mTOR double-positive group were significantly lower than negative control group (including absence of single p-AKT or p-mTOR expression, and absence of both) (OS: 69.0% vs. 95.7%, χ(2)=6.285, P=0.012; PFS: 65.5% vs. 91.3%, χ(2)=5.405, P=0.020). The results of multivariate COX proportional risk regression analysis indicated that p-AKT/p-mTOR double-positive, higher LDH and IPI score 3-5 were independent prognostic factors for both OS and PFS, and the bulky tumor (>10 cm) for PFS of pediatric BL. Conclusion: The expression of p-AKT and p-mTOR may be a potential reference for diagnosis and the independent prognostic indicators of pediatric BL.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the current status and related factors of influenza vaccination among health care workers (HCWs) in tertiary hospitals of Xining city after the implementation of the free influenza vaccination policy. Methods: In August 2018, the cluster sampling method was used to select four medical institutions in Xining that had previously conducted investigations and interventions. All HCWs(excluding logistic staff) in each medical institution were included in the study. A total of 3 260 valid respondents were included. Questionnaires were used to collect the demographic characteristics, influenza and influenza vaccination awareness, implementation of free policy in the influenza epidemic season from 2017 to 2018, influenza vaccination status, awareness of influenza vaccination schedule and free policy. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze related factors of influenza vaccination. Results: The age of respondents was (31.41±5.00) years. The influenza vaccination rate was 6.80% (226/3 260) in 2017-2018 influenza epidemic season. After controlling for related factors, the awareness of the influenza vaccination schedule (OR=17.05, 95%CI: 5.86-49.59), vaccination frequency (OR=8.22, 95%CI: 2.98-22.61) and the free policy (OR=3.15, 95%CI: 1.49-6.67) had higher vaccination rate. Conclusion: The influenza vaccination rate of HCWs in tertiary hospitals of Xining city was low. Increasing the awareness of the vaccination schedule, frequency and free policy may promote the influenza vaccination rate of HCWs.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of a histologic scoring system in congenital biliary atresia and its prognostic relevance. Methods: From January 2017 to June 2018 at Children's Hospital of Fudan University, 172 wedge liver biopsy specimens were obtained from infants with neonatal cholestasis [119 patients with congenital biliary atresia (CBA) and 53 patients with non-obstructive cholestasis as control]. A pathologist, single-blinded to the final diagnosis, made the histological diagnosis individually based on an 8-feature (portal ductal proliferation, bile duct reaction, bile plugs in portal ductules, liver fibrosis, edema in portal region, cholestasis, inflammatory cells infiltration in portal region, and ductal plate malformation), 21-point scoring system. Results: The main pathologic changes of biliary atresia were hepatocyte cholestasis, hyperplasia of bile ducts, fibrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the portal area. There were significant difference in the degree of portal edema, bile duct hyperplasia and fibrosis between two groups (P<0.01). In addition, there were characteristic bile duct thrombosis in 97.5%(116/119) of the cases and abnormal development of bile duct plate in 9.2%(11/119) of the cases. Compared with non-CBA infant cholestasis group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The scoring system has high sensitivity, specificity (both 94.1%) and accuracy (94.3%) in the diagnosis of CBA. A score equal to or more than 11 points supported a diagnosis of CBA; whereas a score less than 11 points might suggest cholestasis. The degree of hepatic fibrosis and ductal plate malformation were related to prognosis. Conclusions: The liver pathology scoring system (8-feature, 21-point) is more accurate in diagnosing CBA than previous methods, which may guide the clinicopathological diagnosis. This histological scoring system also helps to assess the prognosis of CBA.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of pediatric alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 25 pediatric ARMS from 2008 to 2018 in Children's Hospital of Fudan University were collected. This histomorphology was assessed, and FOXO1 gene rearrangement was detected with FISH. The treatment details and outcome were analyzed. Results: There were 13 males and 12 females, with ages range from 19 days to 14 years (median 6 years, mean 6.2 years). The ARMS were located in the limbs (13 cases), head and neck (4 cases), trunk (3 cases), abdominal cavity (3 cases), scrotum (1 case) and perianal region (1 case). The ARMS were classified histologically as classic group (18 cases), solid group (5 cases) and embryonic-alveolar mixed group (2 cases). The typical pathological characteristics were small dark round cells arranged in solid, glandular and papillary patterns. The tumor cells expressed ALK (D5F3) (21/25, 84.0%), muscle origin DES (23/25, 92.0%), myogenin (22/25, 88.0%), MYOD1 (19/25, 76.0%), and in some cases they also expressed neurogenic marker Syn (6/25, 24.0%). FOXO1 gene rearrangement was detected by FISH in 24/25 cases (96.0%). Conclusion: Pediatric ARMS is rare and has unique clinicopathological characteristics, and needs to be differentiated from other common small round cell malignancies in children. ALK, DES, myogenin, MYOD1 immunohistochemistry and FOXO1 gene rearrangement are valuable aid in the diagnosis of ARMS.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical (IHC) phentotype,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of infantile/congenital fibrosarcoma (IFS/CFS) with unusual histological features. Methods: Five IFS/CFS at Children's Hospital of Fudan University from March 2014 to July 2018 were analyzed for their diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Results: Two cases were males, three cases were females. The clinical manifestation of IFS/CFS was a rapidly-growing and painless mass. There were no specific radiologic features. Histologically, the tumor cells are arranged in intersecting or sheet-like patterns. There were focal hemangioma-like areas in four cases. There were also focal areas of primitive asteroid, short-spindled, and oval tumor cells in three cases. IHC study showed the tumor cells diffusely expressed TLE1(2/5), Vimentin(5/5), and WT1(3/5), in a cytoplastic pattern; they focally expressed CD34(3/5), CD31(3/5), and α-SMA(2/5). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) detected break-apart positivity of ETV6 gene. Conclusions: Hemangioma-like pattern, myxoid area, and TLE1 expression is very rare in IFS/CFS. Detection of ETV6 gene break-apart by FISH is very helpful in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of IFS/CFS.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors and sonographic findings of pregnancies complicated by placenta increta or placenta percreta. Methods: Totally, 2 219 cases were retrospectively analyzed from 20 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2011 to December 2015. The data were collected based on the original case records. All cases were divided into two groups, the placenta increta (PI) group (79.1%, 1 755/2 219) and the placenta percreta (PP) group (20.9%, 464/2 219) , according to the degree of placental implantation. The risk factors and sonographic findings of placenta increta or percreta were analyzed by uni-factor and logistic regression statistic methods. Results: The risk factors associated with the degree of placental implantation were age, gravida, previous abortion or miscarriage, previous cesarean sections, and placenta previa (all P<0.05), especially, previous cesarean sections (χ(2)=157.961) and placenta previa (χ(2)=91.759). Sonographic findings could be used to predict the degree of placental invasion especially the boundaries between placenta and uterine serosa, the boundary between placenta and myometrium, the disruption of the placental-uterine wall interface and loss of the normal retroplacental hypoechoic zone(all P<0.01). Conclusions: Previous cesarean sections and placenta previa are the main independent risk factors associated with the degree of placenta implantation. Ultrasound could be used to make a prenatal suggestive diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influenza vaccination and its influencing factors among the clinical staff in Xining, Qinghai province, in the 2016-2017 influenza season, and to explore the promoting strategies to encourage the target population for influenza vaccination. Methods: Four sample hospitals were randomly selected from the total 11 tertiary hospitals in Xining city. Clinical staff that worked in the four hospitals and agreed to participate were recruited for investigation via a self-administered questionnaire. Results: During the 2016-2017 influenza season, the coverage rate of influenza vaccines among the clinical staff was 5.14% (95%CI: 4.80%-5.49%). Multivariate logistic regression showed that knowing the priority of vaccination, the frequency of vaccination, effect of vaccination, and possessing higher professional qualifications were major influencing factors for influenza vaccination. The intention on recommendation of seasonal influenza vaccine was higher in vaccinated group than that in the unvaccinated group (χ(2)=99.57, P<0.001). Conclusion: The lower coverage rate was primarily associated with the lack of knowledge about influenza vaccine among the clinical staff of the hospital. Tailored information should be provided to the clinical staff through effective methods to improve vaccination and the recommendation of influenza vaccine.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and related issues for cervical ripening by double-balloon catheter with and without oxytocin. Methods: The prospective non-randomly control research was conducted from March 2015 to June 2017 in Yuquan Hospital of Tsinghua University. The primipara with induced labor indications and balloon placement conditions were divided into two groups. Seventy-eight cases were in the balloon with oxytocin group, in which oxytocin was used if there were no contraction 1 hour after balloon placement. Meanwhile, 220 cases were in the single balloon group. Before and after balloon placement, the changes of cervical Bishop Scores and delivery outcome were compared between the groups. Results: The effective rate of cervical ripening in the balloon with oxytocin group was higher than that in the balloon group[92.3% (72/78) vs 82.7% (182/220), P<0.05], the proportion of parturiency within 12 hours was as well[15.4% (12/78) vs 7.3% (16/220), P<0.05]. The effective rate of cervical Bishop score 4-5 points was further improved in the balloon with oxytocin group[95.7%(66/69) vs 85.1% (165/194), P<0.05]. Taken out balloon, the cervical Bishop scores (8.1±1.1) points in the balloon with oxytocin group were higher than (6.5±1.2) points in the balloon group (P<0.05). For the maternal without parturiency in the balloon with oxytocin group, the cervical Bishop score reduced from (7.7±0.9) points to (6.6±0.6) points after removal balloon for 12 hours (P<0.05). The cesarean section proportion for intrauterine infection in the balloon with oxytocin group was higher than that of the balloon group ( P<0.05), but the placental pathological diagnosis proportion was no significant difference ( P>0.05). In the two groups, the cesarean section rate, the first labor stage, the episiotomy rate, the postpartum hemorrhage rate, neonatal weight, the neonatal asphyxia and referral rate showed no significant differences (P>0.05, respectively). Conclusions: The double-balloon catheter with oxytocin can further improve the efficiency of patients with cervical Bishop score 4-5 points for cervical ripening , and increase the chance of labor in 12 hours.

Abstract
In this study, zeolites were synthesized from low-calcium (LCZ) and high-calcium (HCZ) fly ash, respectively. Subsequently, the zeolites were tested for their removal effectiveness for four aqueous cations, namely, Zn2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+, as a function of contact time, pH value, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration of heavy metals. Both zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, specific surface area, and cation exchange capacity. The results show that HCZ mainly consists of an unnamed zeolite (Na6[AlSiO4]6·4H2O), whereas LCZ mainly consists of faujasite-type zeolite. The optimum sorption conditions were pH = 6.0; adsorbent dosage = 1.0 g·L-1; temperature = 25 °C; contact time = 100 min; and initial heavy metal concentration = 100 mg·L-1. The sorption kinetics of the four aqueous cations on both LCZ and HCZ followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the sorption isotherm data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model. For LCZ, the maximum adsorption capacities of Zn2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ were 155.76, 197.86, 123.76, and 186.22 mg·g-1, respectively. For HCZ, the values were 154.08, 183.15, 118.91, and 191.94 mg·g-1, respectively. The zeolites were regenerated by NaCl solution (1 mol·L-1) and showed high removal efficiency. In conclusion, zeolites produced by fly ash are promising materials for removing Zn2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ from wastewater.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the polysomnology results along with mandibular titrated advancement using oral appliance to treat obstructive sleep apnea and hyponea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS Several electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang) were systematically searched up to September 2015. There was no restriction of language or source of information. All randomized clinical trials (RCT) and before-after trials (BAT) comparing at least two different mandibular advancements were included. Two independent reviewers selected the studies, extracted data and evaluated risk of bias by quality assessment. Data were pooled using a fixed-effects model, and the summary effect measure was calculated by risk ratio (RR) and 95%CI. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Two RCTs and five BATs were included in the review. Among the five BATs, two of them were randomized, while the other three were not. Outcomes including apnea hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), success rate (reduction of AHI or ODI >50%), normalization rate (AHI or ODI<10/h) were assessed in this review. Based on the trial design and quality assessment, four studies were included for meta-analysis. No significant difference in the success rate was found between the group with 50% of the maximal mandibular advancement (MMA) and the group with 75% of MMA [I2=0%, RR=0.93, with 95%CI (0.80, 1.09)]. No significant difference in the normalization rate was found between the 50% of MMA and 75% of MMA groups [I2=45%, RR=0.85, with 95%CI (0.68, 1.06)]. Subgroup analysis displayed that the severity of OSAHS before treatment was a potential factor affecting the normalization rate. CONCLUSION Based on current available evidence, the success rate and normalization rate for treating OSAHS in the patients with 75% MMA were not found to be significantly higher than those with 50% MMA. Due to small simple size in this meta-analysis, the results of the present study should be interpreted with caution. Further prospective studies are needed to strengthen the evidence.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the risk factors of central neck lymph node metastasis (CNLNM) in cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma. Method:Retrospective analysis of 114 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma in stage of cN0 who underwent primary treatment. Collected the clinical and pathological data, used the univariate and multivariate analysis to investigate the risk factors of central neck lymph node metastasis and high volume central neck lymph node metastasis.Result:In the univariate analysis, age (48.2% in<45 years vs 27.6% in≥45 years), multifocal (51% with vs 27.7% without), nodular goiter (58.8% with vs 28.7% without), showed significant difference in prevalence of CNLNM. Age (14.3% in<45 years vs 1.7% in≥45 years), tumor size (19.2% >1 cm vs 4.5%≤1 cm) showed significant difference in prevalence of high volume CNLNM. Inmultivariate analysis, age (RR= 0.304), multifocal (RR= 3.637) and nodular goiter (RR= 4.132) showed the independent risk factor of CNLNM.Conclusion:For cN0 patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma, if the age is younger than 45 years old, the tumor is multifocal, or associatedwith nodular goiter, the surgery should be more aggressive in the prophylactic central neck dissection.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence, subtypes and risk factors of cataract in type 2 diabetic individuals. Methods: Geographically defined cluster sampling method was used in this population-based, cross-sectional study. There were 7 756 type 2 diabetes individuals in Xinjing Town with a residential population of 88 864. The type 2 diabetic individuals were randomly selected from 20 basic sample units in Xinjing Town of Changning District from April to June 2016. All participants received visual acuity measurement and eye examination. The standard of lens opacity assessment was according to the Lens Opacities Classification SystemⅡ(LOCSⅡ). The prevalence of cataract in diabetic individuals was calculated with LOCS≥2. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relevant factors of cataract in type 2 diabetic individuals. Results: A total of 1 719 type 2 diabetic individuals were included in the analysis. There were 682 men (39.67%) and 1 037 women (60.33%) in this population. There were 434 cataract individuals and the prevalence of cataract was 25.25%. There were 269 cases of nuclear type (15.7%), 38 cases of cortical type (2.2%), 2 cases of posterior subcapsular type (0.12%) and 42 cases of mixed type (2.4%) in the 1 719 individuals. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age (P<0.001), duration of diabetes (P<0.001), education (P=0.005), fasting blood glucose (P(6.1-7.7mmol/L)=0.025, P(7.8-24.3mmol/L)=0.022, compared with 3.6-6.0 mmol/L of fasting blood glucose), and ocular axial length (P<0.001) were associated with cataract. Conclusion: Cataract is a common ophthalmic disease in adults with type 2 diabetes in Xinjing Town. Regular screening of diabetes in the high risk population and intensive control of both glucose and blood pressure in diabetic patients are recommended to prevent and delay the development of cataract.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic features of primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO). Methods: The clinical data of one Chinese pedigree of PHO, namely pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) were collected.Blood samples were drawn from the propositus and other family members.DNA was extracted and genetic analysis was performed by Sanger method after PCR.The sequencing data of HPGD gene exons were analyzed by alignment with sequences from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Results: (1)The propositus represented symptoms in childhood including clubbing fingers, sweating, seborrhea, joint swelling and so on.Periosteal thickening and bone hyperplasia were found by X-ray. (2)The homozygous mutation named c. 310_311delCT in propositus, which located in the third exon of HPGD, was identified.His parents carried the same heterozygous mutation, while his sister did not inherit any mutation of this gene. (3)The prediction of spatial structure of proteins revealed that the mutant proteins had about 60% discrepancy compared with wild-type protein, losing a lot of motifs responsible for combining with coenzyms and prostaglandin E(2), as well as active sites of enzymes. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations and imaging findings are helpful to diagnose PDP. Moreover gene mutation analysis ensures the diagnosis.The structure and function of HPGD gene mutation induce 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase mutation, contributing to the occurrence of PDP.

Abstract
The widespread use of antifungal agents has led to increasing azole resistance in Candida species. A major azole-resistance mechanism involves point mutations in the ERG11 gene, which encodes cytochrome P450 lanosterol 14a-demethylase. In this study, vaginal swabs were obtained from 657 pregnant Chinese Han women and cultured appropriately. The open reading frame of the obtained fungal species were amplified by PCR and sequenced; additionally, the ERG11 gene of the isolated Candida species was amplified and sequenced, and the antifungal susceptibility of the isolated species was determined. The vaginal swabs of 124 women produced fungal cultures; five species of Candida were isolated from the patients, among which Candida albicans was predominant. Twelve C. albicans isolates (13.8%) were resistant to fluconazole and 2 (2.2%) were resistant to itraconazole. Seventeen mutations, including 9 silent and 8 missense mutations, were identified in the ERG11 gene of 31 C. albicans isolates. Our findings suggest that infection caused by C. albicans and non-C. albicansis common in Chinese Han women of reproductive age. Moreover, the relationship between Candida infection and certain epidemiological factors emphasizes the need to educate women about the precise diagnosis and punctual treatment of vaginitis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and genetic profiles of mitochondrial disease resulting from deficiencies in the respiratory chain complex III. Three patients, aged between 8 months and 12 years, were recruited for this study. The activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in the peripheral leucocytes were spectrophotometrically measured. The entire mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence was analyzed. Samples obtained from the three patients and their families were subjected to restriction fragment length polymorphism and gene sequencing analyses. mtDNA copy numbers of all patients and their mothers were analyzed. The patients displayed nervous system impairment, including motor and mental developmental delay, hypotonia, and motor regression. Two patients also suffered from Leigh syndrome. Assay of the mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes revealed an isolated complex III deficiency in the three patients. The m.3243 A>G mutation was detected in all patients and their mothers. The mutation loads were 48.3, 57.2, and 45.5% in the patients, and 20.5, 16.4, and 23.6% in their respective mothers. The leukocyte mtDNA copy numbers of the patients and their mothers were within the control range. The clinical manifestation and genetics were observed to be very heterogeneous. Patient carrying an m.3243 A>G mutation may biochemically display a deficiency in the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III.

Abstract
Fibroblastic rheumatism (FR) is a rare condition characterized by symmetrical polyarthritis and multiple cutaneous nodules. Approximately 30 cases have been reported worldwide to date. Laboratory tests are not particular useful to confirm the disease. Diagnosis is mainly dependent on the characteristic histopathological features: thickened collagen fibres with spindle-shaped cell proliferation in the skin lesion. We report a case of a 48-year-old Chinese man with typical clinical features of FR. In addition to the characteristic histopathological findings, multinuclear giant cell infiltration in skin lesions was detected, in this case. The evaluation of microelements revealed a raised blood lead level) of 129 μg/L (normal range 0-99 μg/L) These two features have never been described in the previous medical literature on FR. Thus, we propose that examining the infiltrated cells in detail in histopathological studies and inspecting the levels of lead and other microelements in the blood may increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of FR.

Abstract
Generation of attosecond x-ray pulse attracts more and more attention within the advanced light source user community due to its potentially wide applications. Here we propose an all-optical scheme to generate bright, attosecond hard x-ray pulse trains by Thomson backscattering of similarly structured electron beams produced in a vacuum channel by a tightly focused laser pulse. Design parameters for a proof-of-concept experiment are presented and demonstrated by using a particle-in-cell code and a four-dimensional laser-Compton scattering simulation code to model both the laser-based electron acceleration and Thomson scattering processes. Trains of 200 attosecond duration hard x-ray pulses holding stable longitudinal spacing with photon energies approaching 50 keV and maximum achievable peak brightness up to 1020 photons/s/mm2/mrad2/0.1%BW for each micro-bunch are observed. The suggested physical scheme for attosecond x-ray pulse trains generation may directly access the fastest time scales relevant to electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and materials.

Abstract
An analytical model for energy absorption during the interaction of an ultrashort, ultraintense laser with an overdense plasma is proposed. Both the compression effect of the electron density profile and the oscillation of the electron plasma surface are self-consistently included, which exhibit significant influences on the laser energy absorption. Based on our model, the general scaling law of the compression effect depending on laser strength and initial density is derived, and the temporal variation of the laser absorption due to the boundary oscillating effect is presented. It is found that due to the oscillation of the electron plasma surface, the laser absorption rate will vibrate periodically at ω or 2ω frequency for the p-polarized and s-polarized laser, respectively. The effect of plasma collision on the laser absorption has also been investigated, which shows a considerable rise in absorption with increasing electron-ion collision frequency for both polarizations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between AKR1B10 expression and clinicopathological features of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to determine AKR1B10 mRNA expression. AKR1B10 protein levels were measured by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS RT-PCR analysis confirmed that AKR1B10 was significantly down-regulated in gastric cancer compared with paired, normal mucosa. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the percentage of AKR1B10-positive specimens was lower in gastric carcinoma compared with normal specimens. The frequency of AKR1B10-positive GC specimens was higher in patients with tumor size <5 cm, no lymph node metastasis, no distant metastasis and lower tumor stages The mean survival time for patients in the AKR1B10-positive group was significantly higher compared with the AKR1B1-negative group. The 5-year survival rate for the AKR1B10-positive group was also significantly higher than for the AKR1B1-negative group. Cox regression analysis revealed that AKR1B10 expression is an independent prognostic factor of GC. CONCLUSIONS Expression of AKR1B10 in gastric cancer was significantly associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, distance metastasis and TNM stage, and AKR1B10 may be a good prognostic indicator in gastric cancer.

Abstract
Gd2MoO6:RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) and Gd2MoO6:Bi(3+), RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) phosphors have been synthesized by combustion method. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. By introducing Bi(3+) ions into Gd2MoO6:RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) phosphors, the excitation bands of Eu(3+) and Sm(3+) ions are broadened and shifted to short wavelength, meanwhile, the emission intensity are enhanced obviously. The energy transfer from Bi(3+) to the activators of Eu(3+) or Sm(3+) is observed and discussed. In addition, the process of ultraviolet light (250-400nm) converted into visible light can be achieved by using Gd2MoO6:Bi(3+), RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) phosphor. These phosphors can be a promising ultraviolet-absorbing luminescent converter to enhance the photoelectrical conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
