Abstract
A green method for synthesizing Pd nanoparticles/graphene composites from a choline chloride-oxalic acid deep eutectic solvent (DES) without a reducing agent or a surfactant is reported. Deep eutectic solvents are usually composed of halide salts and hydrogen-bond donors, and many are biocompatible and biodegradable. The merits of deep eutectic solvents include that they serve as reducing agents and dispersants, and Pd nanoparticles are tightly anchored to graphene. The size and dispersion of Pd particles are improved when supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is used because it has gaslike diffusivity and near-zero surface tension, which results in excellent wettability between the scCO2 and the carbon surface. The prepared sc-Pd NPs/GR/SPCE shows excellent activity toward glycerol oxidation compared to composites not fabricated by scCO2 processes. This study demonstrates the potential of using this scCO2-assisted protocol combined with deep eutectic solvents to further construct nanoparticles/graphene composites.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of exosomes derived from human amniotic epithelial cells (hAEC-Exos) on the proliferation and migration of HaCaT in high glucose environment. Methods: The experimental research method was adopted. The amniotic membrane tissue was collected from 10 healthy pregnant women at full term delivery in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January to June 2019, and the primary human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) were isolated. The growth status and morphological changes of the primary hAECs on the 2nd, 4th, and 7th day of culture were observed, and the expressions of the cells surface markers of CD73, CD90, CD29, CD34, and human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR). The 2nd to 4th passages of hAECs were used in the following experiments. The hAEC-Exos were separated by ultracentrifugation method. The HaCaT and hAEC-Exos were co-cultured for 3 h, and the uptake of hAEC-Exos by HaCaT was observed by inverted fluorescence microscopy. The HaCaT were divided into phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group and hAEC-Exos group or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)+PBS group, DMSO+hAEC-Exos group, and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group, which were dealt correspondingly, with 3 wells in each group. Cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method was used to detect cell proliferation activity after 0 (immediately), 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h of culture. The scratch test was conducted to detect the scratch healing at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h after the scratch, and the scratch healing rate was calculated, respectively. The Transwell experiment was conducted to detect the number of transmembrane cells after 48 h of culture. The Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR), protein kinase B (Akt), and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) related to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt-mTOR (PI3K-Akt-mTOR) pathway after 24 h of culture. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance, and independent sample t test. Results: Most of the primary hAECs were oval and uniform in size on the 2nd day of culture. The hAECs were arranged in a typical cobblestone-like monolayer on the 4th and 7th day of culture. The primary hAECs highly expressed CD73, CD90, and CD29 of mesenchymal stem cell related surface markers, and were with no or low expressions of CD34 and HLA-DR of hematopoietic stem cell related surface markers. After 3 h of culture, hAEC-Exos were successfully endocytosed by HaCaT into the cytoplasm and gathered around the nucleus. After 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h of culture, the proliferation activity of HaCaT in hAEC-Exos group was significantly higher than that in PBS group (t=3.691, 10.861, 12.121, 10.531, 14.931, P<0.01). At 24, 48, and 72 h after scratch, the scratch healing rates of HaCaT in PBS group were significantly lower than those in hAEC-Exos group (t=3.342, 6.427, 5.485, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After 48 h of culture, the number of transmembrane HaCaT in hAEC-Exos group was significantly more than that in PBS group (t=5.385, P<0.01). After 24 h of culture, the protein expressions of p-mTOR and p-Akt in HaCaT of hAEC-Exos group were significantly higher than those in PBS group (t=4.240, 5.586, P<0.01), while the protein expressions of mTOR and Akt in HaCaT of the two groups were similar (P>0.05). After 24 h of culture, the protein expressions of p-mTOR and p-Akt in HaCaT of DMSO+hAEC-Exos group were significantly higher than those in DMSO+PBS group (t=6.155, 8.338, P<0.01) and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group (t=5.030, 3.960, P<0.01), while the protein expressions of mTOR and Akt in HaCaT of the three groups were similar (P>0.05). The proliferation activity of HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group at 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h of culture was 0.78±0.05, 1.23±0.07, 1.60±0.09, 1.86±0.09, and 2.03±0.08, which was significantly higher than 0.46±0.04, 0.69±0.07, 0.98±0.08, 1.16±0.08, and 1.26±0.11 in DMSO+PBS group (t=4.376, 7.398, 8.488, 9.766, 10.730, P<0.01). The proliferation activity of HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group at 24, 36, 48, and 60 h was significantly higher than 0.96±0.09, 1.20±0.08, 1.39±0.08, and 1.55±0.10 in LY294002+hAEC-Exos group (t=3.639, 5.447, 6.605, 6.693, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The scratch healing rates of HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group at 24, 48, and 72 h after scratch were significantly higher than those in DMSO+PBS group (t=4.003, 6.349, 7.714, P<0.01) and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group (t=3.805, 4.676, 4.067, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After 48 h of culture, the number of transmembrane HaCaT in DMSO+hAEC-Exos group was significantly more than that in DMSO+PBS group and LY294002+hAEC-Exos group, respectively (t=7.464, 1.232, P<0.01). Conclusions: PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway can promote the proliferation and migration of HaCaT in high glucose environment by mediating hAEC-Exos.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical features and therapeutic outcomes of patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) auxiliarily diagnosed by 18F-DOPA positron emission tomography (PET) CT scanning. Methods: The clinical data of 123 patients who were diagnosed with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia by comprehensive clinical diagnostic procedures in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Inherited Metabolic Diseases, Children's Hospital of Fudan University between January 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data such as gender, age of onset, province, concurrent serum insulin level measured during hypoglycemia, lesion type of pancreas by 18F-DOPA-PET CT scanning, genetic test results, and treatment were collected successively. The clinical features and therapeutic outcomes were compared between patients with focal and diffuse pancreatic lesions. T test, Rank sum test, and χ² test were used for comparison between groups. Results: A total of 123 patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (72 males and 51 females), whose average age of onset was 3 days (ranging from 1 day to 4 860 days), were recruited from 24 provinces. The concurrent serum insulin level was 7.1 (0.4-303.0) mU/L during hypoglycemia. 18F-DOPA-PET CT scanning identified focal lesions in 25.2% (31/123) and diffuse lesions in 74.8% (92/123) of the patients; 64.2% (79/123) of the HH cases were found to have pathogenic gene variants, in which 88.6% (70/79) were found to have KATP channel related genes (61 in ABCC8 and 9 in KCNJ11 mutations). Thirty-seven patients (17 focal and 20 diffuse) received surgical treatment with a success rate of 67.6% (25/37). The effective rate of diazoxide for children with diffuse type was significantly higher than that of children with focal group (28.3% (26/92) vs. 9.7% (3/31), χ²=10.31, P=0.001). Conclusions: 18F-DOPA-PET CT scan can improve the success rate of surgery. Comprehensive diagnosis of the etiology of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia by genetic analysis and 18F-DOPA-PET CT scanning can result in better treatment and prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of SnoN in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and the mechanism of its participation in hypertrophic scar formation. Methods: Eight patients with hypertrophic scar after burn in need of surgery were admitted in our unit from January to October 2013, and then hypertrophic scar tissue and normal skin tissue of full-thickness skin donor site resected by surgery of the patients were collected. Hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and normal skin fibroblasts of patients were isolated with method of explant culture and then sub-cultured. Cells of the third to fifth passage were used in the following experiments. (1) The protein expressions of SnoN of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and normal skin fibroblasts were assessed with Western blotting. (2) The mRNA expressions of SnoN of another batch of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and normal skin fibroblasts were determined with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. (3) Another batch of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and normal skin fibroblasts were treated with 10 ng/mL transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β(1)) for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 6 h, respectively, and then the protein expressions and mRNA expressions of SnoN of untreated cells and treated cells were detected as above. Data were processed with one way analysis of variance and independent sample t test. Results: (1) The protein expression of SnoN of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts was 0.020±0.003, significantly lower than that of normal skin fibroblasts (0.032±0.005, t=7.19, P<0.05). (2) The mRNA expression of SnoN of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts was 0.407±0.157, with no significant difference from that of normal skin fibroblasts (0.339±0.095, t=-1.29, P>0.05). (3) The protein expression of SnoN of normal skin fibroblasts was increased in a time-dependent fashion with the TGF-β(1) stimulation, and the protein expressions of SnoN of cells treated with TGF-β(1) for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 6 h were significantly higher than those of untreated cells (with t values from 2.27 to 27.89, P values below 0.05). The protein expression of SnoN of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts was decreased in a time-dependent fashion with the TGF-β(1) stimulation, and the protein expressions of SnoN of cells treated with TGF-β(1) for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 6 h were obviously lower than those of untreated cells (with t values from 10.80 to 13.85, P values below 0.05). (4) The mRNA expressions of SnoN of normal skin fibroblasts and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were both increased in a time-dependent fashion with the TGF-β(1) stimulation, and the mRNA expressions of SnoN of the two types of cells treated with TGF-β(1) for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 6 h were both significantly higher than those of untreated cells (with t values from 18.16 to 58.22, P values below 0.05). Conclusions: The protein expression of SnoN in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts is reduced, which weakens its inhibitory effect on TGF-β(1) signal, thus amplifying the TGF-β(1) signal, and it may participate in the formation of hypertrophic scar.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of different insertion angles on the osseointegration of loaded microscrews in beagle jaws. Methods: Forty-eight microscrews were inserted at four different angles (30°, 50°, 70° and 90°) into the interradicular zones between the mandibular first molar and third premolar in twelve beagles and the microscrews had been loaded with a force of 2 N immediately for 8 weeks. After microscrew-bone specimens fixed, the maximum output value (Fmax) of pull-out test was recorded and the histomorphological changes of hard tissue were observed. The bone-implant contact (BIC%) was quantitatively analyzed and the osseointegration of microscrew-bone interface was comprehensively evaluated. Results: Both Fmax and BIC% values of microscrews were influenced by the insertion angles. The maximum value of Fmax was (385±23) N in the group with 50° angle, and the minimum value was (198±16) N in the group with 30° angle(P <0.05). The maximum value of BIC% was (59.1±6.0)% in the group with 70° angle, and the minimum value was (30.2±3.2)% in the group with 30° angle (P <0.05). Histomorphology observation revealed that in peri-screws region, the various degree of bone remodeling was found in different angle samples. Conclusions: The insertion angles (50°and 70°) were favorable to the stability of the microscrew.

Abstract
The OPTN gene is thought to be associated with certain types of glaucoma and the function of the protein for which it encodes, optineurin, has been extensively researched, but with contradictory results. We explored the effects of abnormal optineurin expression on the survival of the rat retinal ganglion cell line RGC-5. Plasmids expressing wild-type (WT) or E50K mutant optineurin, or OPTN-specific double-hairpin small interfering RNA (si-RNA), were transfected into RGC-5 cells. The effects on cell survival were monitored by observation of cell morphology and propidium iodide and Hoechst 33342 fluorescent staining, while expression of optineurin was visualized by fluorescence microscopy. Abnormal optineurin expression influenced the survival of RGCs in vitro, as apoptosis was induced by increased WT and E50K mutant optineurin, while a reduction in apoptosis was observed in cells transfected with OPTN-siRNA. Similar results were also observed in transfected cells treated with apoptotic stimuli. Overexpression of WT and mutant E50K protein resulted in greater cell death, while downregulation decreased RGC-5 apoptosis.

Abstract
We study the process e+ e- →(D* D*)± π∓ at a center-of-mass energy of 4.26 GeV using a 827 pb(-1) data sample obtained with the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. Based on a partial reconstruction technique, the Born cross section is measured to be (137±9±15) pb. We observe a structure near the (D* D*)± threshold in the π∓ recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as the Zc±(4025). The measured mass and width of the structure are (4026.3±2.6±3.7) MeV/c2 and (24.8±5.6±7.7) MeV, respectively. Its production ratio σ(e+ e- → Zc±(4025)π∓ → (D* D*)± π∓)/σ(e+ e- → (D* D*)± π∓) is determined to be 0.65±0.09±0.06. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
We study e+e-→π+π-hc at center-of-mass energies from 3.90 to 4.42 GeV by using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross sections are measured at 13 energies and are found to be of the same order of magnitude as those of e+e-→π+π-J/ψ but with a different line shape. In the π±hc mass spectrum, a distinct structure, referred to as Zc(4020), is observed at 4.02 GeV/c2. The Zc(4020) carries an electric charge and couples to charmonium. A fit to the π±hc invariant mass spectrum, neglecting possible interferences, results in a mass of (4022.9±0.8±2.7) MeV/c2 and a width of (7.9±2.7±2.6) MeV for the Zc(4020), where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. The difference between the parameters of this structure and the Zc(4025) observed in the D*D[over ¯]* final state is within 1.5σ, but whether they are the same state needs further investigation. No significant Zc(3900) signal is observed, and upper limits on the Zc(3900) production cross sections in π±hc at center-of-mass energies of 4.23 and 4.26 GeV are set.

Abstract
We study the process ee+ e- → π+ π- J/ψ at a center-of-mass energy of 4.260 GeV using a 525 pb(-1) data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross section is measured to be (62.9±1.9±3.7) pb, consistent with the production of the Y(4260). We observe a structure at around 3.9 GeV/c2 in the π(±)J/ψ mass spectrum, which we refer to as the Z(c)(3900). If interpreted as a new particle, it is unusual in that it carries an electric charge and couples to charmonium. A fit to the π(±)J/ψ invariant mass spectrum, neglecting interference, results in a mass of (3899.0±3.6±4.9) MeV/c2 and a width of (46±10±20) MeV. Its production ratio is measured to be R = (σ(e+ e- → π(±)Z(c)(3900)(∓) → π+ π- J/ψ)/σ(e+ e- → π+ π- J/ψ)) = (21.5±3.3±7.5)%. In all measurements the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
Based on 106×10(6)ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII facility, a partial wave analysis of ψ(3686)→ppπ0 is performed. The branching fraction of this channel has been determined to be B(ψ(3686)→ppπ0)=(1.65±0.03±0.15)×10(-4). In this decay, 7 N* intermediate resonances are observed. Among these, two new resonances, N(2300) and N(2570) are significant, one 1/2+ resonance with a mass of 2300(-30-0)(+40+109) MeV/c2 and width of 340(-30-58)(+30+110) MeV/c2, and one 5/2- resonance with a mass of 2570(-10-10)(+19+34) MeV/c2 and width of 250(-24-21)(+14+69) MeV/c2. For the remaining 5 N* intermediate resonances [N(1440), N(1520), N(1535), N(1650) and N(1720)], the analysis yields mass and width values that are consistent with those from established resonances.

Abstract
The two-photon transition ψ(3686)→γγJ/ψ is studied in a sample of 1.06×10(8) ψ(3686) decays collected by the BESIII detector. The branching fraction is measured to be (3.1±0.6(stat)(-1.0)(+0.8)(syst))×10(-4) using J/ψ→e(+)e(-) and J/ψ→μ(+)μ(-) decays, and its upper limit is estimated to be 4.5×10(-4) at the 90% confidence level. This work represents the first measurement of a two-photon transition among charmonium states. The orientation of the ψ(3686) decay plane and the J/ψ polarization in this decay are also studied. In addition, the product branching fractions of sequential E1 transitions ψ(3686)→γχ(cJ) and χ(cJ)→γJ/ψ(J=0,1,2) are reported.

Abstract
Solid residues (SRs) are important byproducts of sub- and super-critical water gasification of sewage sludge (SS). In this study, the quantitative evaluation of heavy metals (HMs) in SRs, compared with SS, is applied in terms of potential ecological risks, pollution levels, and both bioavailability and eco-toxicity. The results show the bioavailability and eco-toxicity of HMs in SRs decrease, although the total concentration of HMs increased, particularly in the bioavailable fraction of Cu, which decreased nearly 97%. The geo-accumulation and potential ecological risk index indicated that the gasification process increased contamination by two levels (to the maximum), while the overall risk was in keeping with SS. However, based on the risk assessment code, each tested HM exhibited lower environmental risk after gasification, especially for Cd, which drastically dropped from 66.67 (very high risk) in SS to 0.71 (no risk) in SRs, with a reaction temperature of 375°C for 60 min.

Abstract
Using a sample of 106×10(6) ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we have made the first measurement of the M1 transition between the radially excited charmonium S-wave spin-triplet and the radially excited S-wave spin-singlet states: ψ(3686)→γη(c)(2S). Analyses of the processes ψ(3686)→γη(c)(2S) with η(c)(2S)→K(S)(0)K(±)π(∓) and K(+)K(-)π(0) give an η(c)(2S) signal with a statistical significance of greater than 10 standard deviations under a wide range of assumptions about the signal and background properties. The data are used to obtain measurements of the η(c)(2S) mass (M(η(c)(2S))=3637.6±2.9(stat)±1.6(syst) MeV/c(2)), width (Γ(η(c)(2S))=16.9±6.4(stat)±4.8(syst) MeV), and the product branching-fraction (B(ψ(3686)→γη(c)(2S))×B(η(c)(2S)→KKπ)=(1.30±0.20(stat)±0.30(syst))×10(-5)). Combining our result with a BABAR measurement of B(η(c)(2S)→KKπ), we find the branching fraction of the M1 transition to be B(ψ(3686)→γη(c)(2S))=(6.8±1.1(stat)±4.5(syst))×10(-4).

Abstract
The mass and width of the lowest-lying S-wave spin singlet charmonium state, the η(c), are measured using a data sample of 1.06×10(8) ψ(3686) decays collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. We use a model that incorporates full interference between the signal reaction, ψ(3686)→γη(c), and a nonresonant radiative background to describe the line shape of the η(c) successfully. We measure the η(c) mass to be 2984.3±0.6±0.6 MeV/c(2) and the total width to be 32.0±1.2±1.0 MeV, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
Subcritical and supercritical water gasification of dewatered sewage sludge obtained from a typical municipal wastewater treatment plant was investigated in a one-litre high-pressure autoclave at temperatures of 300-400 degrees C and pressures of 17.5-23.5 MPa. The sludge (without catalyst) was gasified at subcritical and supercritical water conditions, with different reaction times ranging from 30 to 60 min. The results showed that gaseous product yield increased with increasing temperature and reaction time. Gas products consisted primarily of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide and other light hydrocarbons. The liquid products contained high levels of organic matter, ammonia nitrogen and a few heavy metals. Compared with the landfilling of sewage sludge, the solid residues were in accordance with the Chinese standard for sludge quality in co-landfilling even without further treatment. In addition, the heavy metals in solid products exhibited more stable characteristics attributable to the reduced leaching toxicity after supercritical water gasification.

Abstract
The decays J/ψ → γ π+ π- π0 and J/ψ → γ π0 π0 π0 are analyzed using a sample of 225×10(6) J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector. The decay of η(1405) → f(0)(980)π0 with a large isospin violation is observed for the first time. The width of the f(0)(980) observed in the dipion mass spectra is anomalously narrower than the world average. Decay rates for three-pion decays of the η' are also measured precisely.

Abstract
A partial wave analysis of the pp¯ mass-threshold enhancement in the reaction J/ψ→γpp¯ is used to determine its J(PC) quantum numbers to be 0(-+), its peak mass to be below threshold at M=1832(-5)(+19)(stat)(-17)(+18)(syst)±19(model) MeV/c(2), and its total width to be Γ<76 MeV/c(2) at the 90% C.L. The product of branching ratios is measured to be BR[J/ψ→γX(pp¯)]BR[X(pp¯)→pp¯]=[9.0(-1.1)(+0.4)(stat)(-5.0)(+1.5)(syst)±2.3(model)]×10(-5). A similar analysis performed on ψ(3686)→γpp¯ decays shows, for the first time, the presence of a corresponding enhancement with a production rate relative to that for J/ψ decays of R=[5.08(-0.45)(+0.71)(stat)(-3.58)(+0.67)(syst)±0.12(model)]%.

Abstract
We present results of a study of the decay J/ψ → ωηπ+ π- using a sample of (225.2 ± 2.8) × 10(6) J/ψ events collected by the BESIII detector, and report the observation of a new process J/ψ → ωX(1870) with a statistical significance of 7.2σ, in which X(1870) decays to a(0)(±)(980)π±. Fitting to ηπ+ π- mass spectrum yields a mass M = 1877.3 ± 6.3(stat)(-7.4)(+3.4)(syst) MeV/c(2), a width Γ = 57 ± 12(stat)(-4)(+19)(syst) MeV/c(2), and a product branching fraction B(J/ψ → ωX) × B(X→a(0)(±)(980)π±) × B(a(0) (±)(980) → ηπ±) = [1.50 ± 0.26(stat)(-0.36)(+0.72) (syst)] × 10(-4). Signals for J/ψ → ωf(1)(1285) and J/ψ → ω η(1405) are also clearly observed and measured.

Abstract
Using (106±4)×10⁻⁶ ψ(3686) events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e⁺e⁻ collider, we present the first measurement of decays of χ(c1) to vector meson pairs φφ, ωω, and ωφ. The branching fractions are measured to be (4.4±0.3±0.5)×10⁻⁴, (6.0±0.3±0.7)×10⁻⁴, and (2.2±0.6±0.2)×10⁻⁵, for χ(c1)→φφ, ωω, and ωφ, respectively, which indicates that the hadron helicity selection rule is significantly violated in χ(cJ) decays. In addition, the measurement of χ(cJ)→ωφ provides the first indication of the rate of doubly OZI-suppressed χ(cJ) decay. Finally, we present improved measurements for the branching fractions of χ(c0) and χ(c2) to vector meson pairs.

Abstract
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of chromium nanocomposite (CrNano) on growth hormone (GH) pulsatile secretion and pituitary GH mRNA expression in finishing pigs. Fifty-four crossbred pigs (65.57 ± 1.05 kg initial weight) were randomly allotted to one of the three treatments, with three replicate pens per treatment and six pigs per pen. Pigs were offered one of the four diets including a control diet or a control diet supplemented with 200 μg/kg chromium from either chromium chloride (CrCl3) or CrNano for 35 days. During the trial, all pigs were given free access to feed and water. After completion of the feeding trial, blood samples were taken via auriculares at 15 min intervals for 3 h and three pigs from each treatment were slaughtered to collect pituitary to determine GH mRNA level. The results of GH dynamic secretion showed that supplemental CrNano increased the mean level, the lowest value, peak value and peak duration of GH significantly, while there was no significant effect on peak amplitude. Pituitary mRNA expression of GH was improved significantly in pigs fed diet containing Cr from CrNano. These results indicated that CrNano increased GH mRNA expression and secretion in finishing pigs.

Abstract
With a sample of (225.2±2.8)×10(6) J/ψ events registered in the BESIII detector, J/ψ→γπ(+)π(-)η(') is studied using two η(') decay modes: η(')→π(+)π(-)η and η(')→γρ(0). The X(1835), which was previously observed by BESII, is confirmed with a statistical significance that is larger than 20σ. In addition, in the π(+)π(-)η(') invariant-mass spectrum, the X(2120) and the X(2370), are observed with statistical significances larger than 7.2σ and 6.4σ, respectively. For the X(1835), the angular distribution of the radiative photon is consistent with expectations for a pseudoscalar.

Abstract
The decays ψ'→γπ(0), γη and γη' are studied using data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider. The processes ψ'→γπ(0) and ψ'→γη are observed for the first time with signal significances of 4.6σ and 4.3σ, respectively. The branching fractions are determined to be B(ψ'→γπ(0))=(1.58±0.40±0.13)×10(-6), B(ψ'→γη)=(1.38±0.48±0.09)×10(-6), and B(ψ'→γη')=(126±3±8)×10(-6), where the first errors are statistical and the second ones systematic.

Abstract
The effects of supplementing a barley-based diet for weaned piglets withexogenous beta-glucanase and xylanase on gastrointestinal digestiveenzyme activities were investigated. Thirty-six cross-bred weaned pigletswere randomly assigned to two groups with three pens based on sexand mass. Each group was fed on the diet based on barley with or withoutadded beta-glucanase and xylanase (0.15%) for a 4-week period. Theresults showed that enzyme supplementation improved growth performanceof piglets significantly (p < 0.05), but had no effect (p = 0.091)on average daily feed intake. The results also showed that supplementationof beta-glucanase and xylanase had no effect on pepsin activity in gastriccontents but slightly decreased (p = 0.092) the pepsin activity ingastric mucosa. Meanwhile, no effect of enzyme supplementation ontrypsin activity in duodenal contents was observed. However, the activitiesof amylase and lipase in duodenal contents were significantly(p < 0.05) decreased, whereas the activities of maltase, sucrase andgamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) in jejunal and ileal mucosa wereenhanced significantly (p < 0.05). The improvement of disaccharidaseand gamma-GT activity may be attributed to the positive impacts of exogenousenzymes on digestion and absorption of the nutrients. In conclusion,the current results indicated that supplementation with enzymes in barley-based diets could improve the growth performance of piglets,decrease the activities of amylase and lipase in duodenal contents andincrease the activities of disaccharidase and gamma-GT in jejunal and ilealmucosa.

Abstract
AIMS To achieve high-level expression and secretion of active VP28 directed by a processing-efficient signal peptide in Bacillus subtilis WB600 and exploit the possibility of obtaining an oral vaccine against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) using vegetative cells or spores as delivery vehicles. METHODS AND RESULTS The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified vp28 gene was inserted into a shuttle expression vector with a novel signal peptide sequence. After electro-transformation, time-courses for recombinant VP28 (rVP28) secretion level in B. subtilis WB600 were analysed. Crayfish were divided into three groups subsequently challenged by 7-h immersion at different time points after vaccination. Subgroups including 20 inter-moult crayfish with an average weight of 15 g in triplicate were vaccinated by feeding coated food pellets with vegetative cells or spores for 20 days. Vaccination trials showed that rVP28 by spore delivery induced a higher resistance than using vegetative cells. Challenged at 14 days postvaccination, the relative per cent survival (RPS) values of groups of rVP28-bv and rVP28-bs was 51.7% and 78.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The recombinant B. subtilis strain with the ability of high-level secretion of rVP28 can evoke protection of crayfish against WSSV by oral delivery. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Oral vaccination by the B. subtilis vehicle containing VP28 opens a new way for designing practical vaccines to control WSSV.

Abstract
Chromium(III) is often claimed to have a positive effect on body composition, while the responses in researches with supplementation of different chemical form of chromium are various and inconsistent. We have studied the effects of 6 weeks of treatment with three different forms of chromium (300 mug/kg) as chromium chloride, chromium tripicolinate, and chromium nanocomposite (CrNano) on growth, body composition, serum parameters, and tissue chromium in rats. The supplementation of CrNano significantly increased average daily gain, food efficiency, and lean body mass and decreased fat mass and body fat proportion and serum levels of glucose, urea nitrogen, triglyceride, and insulin. Chromium contents in liver, kidney, and hind leg muscle were increased significantly with the addition of CrNano in diet. The results indicate that chromium nanocomposite has higher efficacy on growth and body composition compared to the traditional chromium agents.

Abstract
The objective of the current experiment was to investigate the effect of Bacillus subtilis fermented soybean meal (FSBM) on intestinal morphology and digestive enzyme activities in piglets. Sixty crossbred (Duroc x Landrance x Yorkshire) piglets at an average weight of 8.62 kg were randomly allotted to two treatments and fed diets containing soybean meal (SBM) and FSBM, respectively. At the end of the experimental period, six piglets of each treatment were slaughtered humanly to collect the contents and tissue samples at three different locations in small intestine. Light microscopy and scanning electron indicated that piglets fed FSBM had a higher (P<0.05) villus height at three different locations of small intestine and had la ower (P<0.05) crypt depth in the duodenum compared to piglets fed SBM. The results showed that activities of total protease and trypsin at the duodenum and jejunum of piglets fed with FSBM increased (P<0.05) compared with the control. The trypsin activity in the pancreas of piglets decreased (P<0.05) when they were fed with FSBM. The results showed that FSBM improved intestinal morphology and digestive enzyme activities in weaned piglets.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of green tea polyphenols (GTPs) supplementation during in vitro maturation, in vitro fertilization, and in vitro culture on the developmental competence of bovine oocytes. Cumulus-oocyte complexes aspirated from the ovaries were matured in vitro (38.5 degrees C for 24 h) and fertilized (38.5 degrees C for 15-18 h) and embryos were cultured (38.5 degrees C for 192 h) in a defined conditioned medium with or without GTPs supplementation. The GTPs used in the present study contained 99% catechin derivatives, with the major components being 50% (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, 22% (-)-epicatechin gallate, 18% (-)-epigallocatechin, and 10% (-)-epicatechin. Four replicate trials were done for each type of experiment. GTPs supplementation (15 microM) of the maturation medium led to a significant increase in the rate of blastocyst formation (34.0 vs 21.4%, P < 0.05). However, the rate of blastocyst formation was not improved when higher GTPs concentrations (20 or 25 microM) were added to the in vitro maturation medium. During in vitro fertilization, supplementation with higher GTPs concentrations (20 or 25 microM) significantly reduced the rate of blastocyst formation (P < 0.05). Supplementation of the culture medium with 15 microM GTPs improved the rate of blastocyst formation, while higher GTPs concentrations (25 microM) significantly reduced embryo development (P < 0.05). In conclusion, these results demonstrate that supplementation with GTPs at low concentration (15 microM) during in vitro maturation and in vitro culture improved the developmental competence of bovine oocytes.

Abstract
The experiment was performed to compare the effects of fermented soybean meal (fermented with Aspergillus oryzae 3.042, FSBM) and soybean meal on digestive enzyme activities and intestinal morphology in broilers. Three hundred twenty 1-d-old Ross x Ross male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 2 dietary treatments for a 6-wk feeding trial, including 0- to 21-d and 21- to 42-d periods. At the end of each stage, 8 broilers of each treatment were killed, and pancreas, small intestine digesta, and duodenum, jejunum, and ileum segments were collected for digestive enzymes and intestinal morphology evaluation. Results of the experiment showed that replacing soybean meal with FSBM in diet increased the activities of trypsin, lipase, and protease significantly in intestinal content of starter broilers (P<0.05) and enhanced the protease activity of grower broilers (P<0.05). Amylase activity was not affected in both feeding periods by the treatments. Compared with the control, broilers fed with FSBM had lower pancreatic trypsin activity (P<0.05) in the starter phase. There were no significant differences on lipase, amylase, and protease activity between the treatments in both growth phases. Increased villus height (P<0.05) and decreased crypt depth (P<0.05) of jejunum mucosa could be observed in the whole growth stage of broilers fed with FSBM. Also, duodenal villus height of starter chicks was also significantly increased (P<0.05).

A total of 450 commercial broilers, 22 d of age, were randomly allocated to three groups, each of which included three replicates (50 birds per replicate). The groups received the same methionine-deficient diet supplemented with 0 or 1 g/kg methionine, or 0.5 g/kg betaine, respectively. 3. Methionine and betaine supplementation significantly improved weight gain and feed conversion. Supplemental methionine and betaine also significantly increased breast muscle yield and decreased abdominal fat content. Meanwhile, addition of methionine and betaine significantly increased the contents of creatine and free carnitine in liver, the activity of hormone-sensitive lipase in abdominal fat and the concentration of free fatty acid in serum, whereas uric acid concentration in serum was significantly decreased. 4. The results of this study suggest that betaine can spare methionine in its function as an essential amino acid and is as effective as methionine in improving performance and carcase quality of growing broilers if the diet is moderately deficient in methionine. The decrease in abdominal fat may be due to the increased carnitine synthesis in liver and hormone-sensitive lipase activity in abdominal fat.

Abstract
Two hundred four broilers (1-d-old) were randomly allocated to 4 treatments, each of which had 3 pens of 17 chicks per pen and were used to investigate the effects of beta-mannanase (Hemicell) on growth performance and immunity. The chicks received the same basal diet based on corn-soybean meal and Hemicell was added to the basal diet at 0, 0.025, 0.05, and 0.075%, respectively. Weight of each replicate was determined at wk 0, 3, and 6 of age. There were no significant differences in average feed intake in the 0- to 3-wk and 0- to 6-wk periods, and no differences in serum IgA, or IgG concentrations. However, the addition of Hemicell significantly increased (P < 0.05) weight gain in the 4- to 6-wk and 0- to 6-wk periods. Feed conversion for the 0.025 and 0.05% groups was significantly greater (P < 0.05) than for the control group in the 4- to 6-wk and 0- to 6-wk periods. Hemicell significantly increased (P < 0.05) the serum IgM concentration in 3- and 6-wk-old broilers. Proliferation of T lymphocytes in 6-wk-old broilers for the 0.05% group was also improved (P < 0.05) significantly. The results indicate that Hemicell may improve growth performance and immunity of broilers.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary arsenic (As) levels on growth performance, serum biochemistry, and the retention of iron, copper, and zinc in tissues of growing and finishing pigs. Ninety-six crossbred pigs were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments. The corn-soybean basal diets were supplemented with 0, 10, 20, and 30 mg As/kg. Arsenic trioxide was used as the arsenic source. The feeding experiment lasted for 78 d. The results showed that the high arsenic diet decreased average daily gain (ADG) (p<0.05) and increased feed gain ratio (F/G) (p<0.05). Arsenic intake significantly increased (p<0.05) serum gamma-gultamyltransferase (GGT), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities, and decreased (p<0.05) total protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine, and triglycerides. Glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) activity, albumin, and cholesterol were not affected (p>0.05). Arsenic feeding elevated (p<0.05) liver and kidney copper concentration, but reduced (p<0.05) copper concentration in heart, bile, and lymphaden of intestine mesentery. There were increases in iron levels in liver, bile, spleen, thymus, and pancreas in pigs fed the high As diets (p<0.05), but iron contents in kidney, heart, and serum were decreased by the arsenic treatment (p<0.05). Zinc concentrations were increased (p<0.05) in liver, kidney, and thymus of pigs with arsenic treatment, but decreased (p<0.05) in bile and lymphaden of intestine mesentery. This study suggested that high dietary As levels could alter serum biochemical parameters and the retention of copper, iron, and zinc in the viscera of growing and finishing pigs.

Abstract
The effects of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) on growth performance and immune and oxidative stress in growing/finishing pigs were studied. Seventy-two pigs, with equal numbers of barrows and gilts, of the same genotype (Duroc x Landrace x Large White), were randomly assigned to three groups receiving the same basal diet, exposed to 0, 0.4 and 0.8 mg/kg technical HCH, respectively, for 90 days. Six pigs from each group were randomly picked out and slaughtered on a finishing feeding trial. The result showed that addition of HCH did not affect the growth performance significantly but increased the weight of kidney and thymus significantly. Total serum IgG and IgM were elevated significantly, but there were no significant differences in serum IgA, C3 and C4 among the groups. Addition of HCH to feedstuff reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in liver, reduced serum catalase (CAT) activity, and increased serum malondialehyde (MDA). Moreover, the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase were increased significantly. Addition of 0.4 mg/kg or 0.8 mg/kg HCH did not affect the growth performance but affected the immune and antioxidant potential.

Abstract
Ninety-six crossbred growing pigs were used to evaluate the effects of fluoride levels on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and the retention of minerals in tissues. Four dietary treatments were formulated by supplementing fluorine (as NaF) to a corn-soybean basal diet (39.75 mg/kg F) to provide the following added fluorine levels: 0, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg fluorine. The results showed pigs of the 100 and 150 mg/kg fluorine-added groups had decreased average daily gain (ADG) and increased feed gain ratio (F/G) compared to the control (p < 0.05). Apparent digestibility of protein and calcium in 100 and 150 mg/kg fluorine-treated groups was significantly lower than that of the control (p < 0.05). On the other hand, iron, copper, zinc, and manganese levels in most tissues of the 100 and 150 mg/kg fluorine groups were markedly changed compared to the control (p < 0.05). However, growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and mineral concentrations in all tissues of pigs were not significantly affected by the addition of 50 mg/kg fluorine (p > 0.05). Thus, this study suggested that excess fluoride levels could decrease growth performance and change the retention of iron, copper, zinc, and manganese in pigs.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is an essential nutrient that is required in humans and animals for many physiological functions, including immune and antioxidant function, growth, and reproduction. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of three Zn levels, including Zn adequate (35.94 mg/kg, as a control), Zn deficiency (3.15 mg/kg), and Zn overload (347.50 mg/kg) in growing male rats for 6 wk. This allowed for evaluation of the effects that these Zn levels might have on body weight, organ weight, enzymes activities, and tissues concentrations of Zn and Cu. The results showed that Zn deficiency has negative effects on growth, organ weight, and biological parameters such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD) activities, whereas Zn overload played an effective role in promoting growth, improving the developments of organs and enhancing immune system. Hepatic metallothionein (MT) concentration showed an identical increase tendency in rats fed both Zn-deficient and Zn-overload diets. The actual mechanism of reduction of Cu concentration of jejunum in rats fed a Zn-overload diet might involve the modulation or inhibition of a Cu transporter protein by Zn and not by the induction of MT.

Abstract
Montmorillonite (MMT) and its Cu2+-exchanged montmorillonite (Cu-MMT) were used to study the antibacterial activity on Aeromonas hydrophila. The results indicated that MMT had no antibacterial activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Cu-MMT on A. hydrophila are found to be 150 and 600 mg/L, respectively. The continuance of the antibacterial activity of Cu-MMT was much longer than copper sulfate. In order to reveal the mechanism of the antibacterial activity of Cu-MMT, the Cu release from Cu-MMT in tryptic soy broth (TSB) was investigated. In the first 2 h, Cu concentration in the supernatant reaches saturated value, about 1.22-2.27% of the overall Cu in Cu-MMT suspended in the medium. The washed Cu-MMT in TSB for 24 h retained their full antibacterial activity; whereas, the supernatants from the washed pellets showed very little antibacterial activity. These findings suggested that the antibacterial activity of Cu-MMT was mainly localized on the clay surface, and not due to the release of Cu2+ into solution. The excessive positive charge of Cu-MMT would make Cu-MMT attract A. hydrophila with negatively charged cellular wall. In this case, the copper cation would act directly on the bacteria adsorbed on the surface of Cu-MMT, instead of into the medium. The mechanism for the antibacterial activity of Cu-MMT may involve the enhanced affinity of Cu-MMT for A. hydrophila and the antibacterial activity of Cu2+.

Abstract
Avian commercial male broiler chicks (n = 240), 1 d of age, were used to investigate the effects of copper-bearing montmorillonite (Cu-MMT) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, and intestinal microflora and morphology. The chicks were allocated to 4 treatments, each of which had 5 pens of 12 chicks per pen. The 4 treatments were basal diet only (control group), basal diet + 1.5 g/kg montmorillonite (MMT), basal diet + 36.75 mg/kg Cu, in the form of CuSO4, and basal diet + 1.5 g/kg Cu-MMT. The results showed that supplementation with Cu-MMT significantly improved growth performance compared with the control diet, and that chicks fed with Cu-MMT had higher average daily gain (ADG) than those fed with MMT or CuSO4. Supplementation with Cu-MMT significantly reduced the total viable counts of Escherichia coli and Clostridium in the small intestine and cecum. Supplementation with MMT or CuSO4 had no influence on intestinal microflora. Chicks fed with Cu-MMT had lower viable counts of E. coli in cecal contents than those fed with MMT or CuSO4. The addition of either MMT or Cu-MMT to the diet improved the activities of total protease, amylase, and lipase in the small intestinal contents but had no effect on those in the pancreas. Morphological measurements of the small intestinal mucosa of chicks indicated that dietary addition of MMT or Cu-MMT improved intestinal mucosal morphology.

Abstract
One hundred and ninety-two crossbred pigs (barrows, Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshine, initial weight 27.6 kg) were used to evaluate the effects of montmorillonite nanocomposite (MNC) on cadmium (Cd) retention in tissues of growing pigs. The animals were randomly assigned to 2 supplementations of Cd (0 or 10 mg/kg) and 2 levels of MNC (0 or 0.5%) in a 2x2 factorial arrangement. Each group was fed corn-soybean basal diets and consisted of 3 replications of 16 pigs. The feeding experiment lasted 83 d. Pig growth performances decreased significantly by addition of 10 mg Cd/kg (p<0.05) and improved with supplementation of MNC (p<0.05). Addition of MNC with Cd decreased Cd retentions in muscle, liver, kidney, spleen, thymus and lymphaden of pigs (p<0.05). MNC also decreased tissue Cd residues of pigs fed the diet without added Cd (p>0.05). There were decreased iron levels and increased copper levels in serum and liver of 10 mg Cd/kg treatment (p<0.05). Zinc content in serum and liver was not affected by the addition of Cd (p>0.05). Serum and liver iron, copper and zinc concentrations of pigs fed MNC without added Cd were unaffected by MNC (p>0.05).

Abstract
Rare earth elements (REE) have been shown to influence growth performance in animal production, especially in pigs. In the present study, the effect of oral administration of rare earth elements on growing rats was investigated. Pure LaCl3 or an REE mixture containing 38% of LaCl3, 52% of CeCl3, 3% of PrCl3 and 7% of chlorides of other REE were used at two different concentrations as supplements to the diets. Fifty male Wistar rats at 4 weeks of age were allotted to five experimental groups: a control group; a La-low group and a La-high group with 75 and 150 mg/kg LaCl3.6H2O, respectively; a REE-low and an REE-high group with 75 and 150 mg/kg REE mixture, respectively. The animals were housed in individual pens. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. After 18 days the oral supplementation of LaCl3.6H2O or of the REE mixture improved daily body weight gain (BWG) by up to 5 or 9% (p > 0.05), respectively. LaCl3.6H2O as well as the REE mixture had positive effects (p < 0.05) on feed conversion ratio (FCR) with a decreased ratio by up to 8 and 11%, respectively. Supplementation of REE also had clear effects on blood serum parameters. The activities of alkaline phosphatase (AP) and alanine amino transferase (ALT) increased significantly (p < 0.05). At the same time, blood glucose level decreased and blood creatine level increased significantly (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in cholesterol, total protein, albumin and urea nitrogen among the groups. There was no significant difference in triglyceride level between the control and those REE groups, however, a significantly lower (p < 0.01) triglyceride level was found in the 150 mg/kg REE mixture group compared with that in 75 mg/kg REE mixture group and the 150 mg/kg LaCl3.6H2O group. The results suggest that oral supplementation of REE improves growth performance in rats as in pigs. In this respect, concentration and type of REE supplemented to the diets are two important factors herein.

Abstract
Two hundred forty male Avian Farms broiler chicks, 1 d of age, were randomly allocated to four treatments, each of which had five pens of 12 chicks per pen. The chicks were used to investigate the effects of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on digestive enzyme activities and intestinal microflora and morphology. The chicks received the same basal diet based on corn-soybean meal, and FOS was added to the basal diet at 0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 g/kg diet at the expense of corn. Addition of 4.0 g/kg FOS to the basal diet significantly increased average daily gain of broilers. The feed-to-gain ratios were significantly decreased for the birds fed diets with 2.0 and 4.0 g/kg FOS versus the control. Addition of 4.0 g/kg FOS enhanced the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, but inhibited Escherichia coli in the small intestinal and cecal digesta. Supplementation of 2.0 or 4.0 g/kg FOS to chicks significantly improved the activities of amylase compared to the control (12.80 or 14.75 vs. 8.42 Somogyi units). A significant increase in the activities of total protease was observed in 4.0 g/kg FOS-treated birds versus controls (83.91 vs. 65.97 units). Morphology data for the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum showed no significant differences for villus height, crypt depth, or microvillus height at the duodenum. By contrast, addition of 4.0 g/kg FOS significantly increased ileal villus height, jejunal and ileal microvillus height, and villus-height-to-crypt-depth ratios at the jejunum and ileum and decreased crypt depth at the jejunum and ileum. However, addition of 8.0 g/kg FOS had no significant effect on growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, intestinal microflora, or morphology.

Abstract
We studied the effects of L-carnitine on growth performance, carcass composition, and lipid metabolism in male broilers. Six hundred male commercial broilers were allotted to five groups, each of which included three replicates (40 birds per replicate). The groups received the same basal diet supplemented with 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100 mg/kg L-carnitine, respectively. The feeding trial showed that L-carnitine had no significant effect on daily gain or feed conversion. Supplementation with L-carnitine (above 25 mg/kg) in the diet increased breast muscle yield (P < 0.05) and crude fat content of the muscles and decreased abdominal fat content (P < 0.05). Addition of 50, 75, or 100 mg/kg L-carnitine to the diet decreased total activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and lipoprotein lipase (P < 0.05) in the subcutaneous fat and total activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (P < 0.05) in breast muscles. The results of this study indicate that L-carnitine could reduce the deposit of subcutaneous fat by decreasing total activities of enzymes in the fat and enhance intramuscular fat by decreasing the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I in breast muscles.

Abstract
This study examined the prevalence of retinopathy in 2131 patients with type 2 diabetes attending a Beijing hospital for the first time. The median age of patients was 58 years (IQR 50-65). The overall prevalence of retinopathy was 27.3% (95% CI: 25.4-29.2) and for proliferative retinopathy 7.8% (95% CI: 6.7-8.9). When all patients were considered together, duration of diabetes (OR=1.8; P=0.001) and albumin excretion rate (OR=1.5; P=0.019) were independent risk factors for retinopathy. Blue-collar occupation (OR=1.5; P=0.047) and blood pressure (OR=1.2; P=0.021) were additional risk factors for non-proliferative and proliferative retinopathy respectively. Amongst the 773 newly diagnosed patients, 21% (95% CI: 17.8-23.6) already had retinopathy. The median age of those patients with retinopathy at diagnosis of diabetes was 3 years higher that those without retinopathy, and blue-collar workers (OR=2.2; P=0.012) as well as female gender were particularly at risk (OR=2.0; P=0.033). There was a strong correlation between duration of diabetes with the presence of retinopathy (r=0.95; P=0.01). By extrapolation, it could be estimated that some degree of hyperglycaemia might have been present for more than 20 years before diabetes was diagnosed. These findings emphasise the importance of earlier diagnosis of diabetes and its complications, especially in socially disadvantaged groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate factors which affect the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors with diabetes in Chinese patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Six hundred and fifty-four patients with diabetes were assessed comprehensively for diabetes complications and cardiovascular risk factors in a metropolitan hospital in Beijing, China. Insulin resistance and secretion were also evaluated by measurement of glucose and insulin levels before and after a meal tolerance test. Results were analysed according to patient groups stratified by the number of cardiovascular risk factors coexisting with diabetes. RESULTS Cardiovascular risk factors were common in Chinese diabetic patients. The clustering of three or more of these factors with diabetes occurred more often than by chance alone and was associated with postprandial hyperinsulinaemia. Patients with a high number of risk factors were more prone to macrovascular events but did not have higher albuminuria. Using the commonly adopted lower threshold for diagnosing obesity and central obesity in women, there were more women with multiple risk factors. However, this disappeared if the same criteria were used for men and women. Even in the presence of diabetes, cardiovascular risk factors were inadequately controlled in most patients. CONCLUSIONS The concurrence of diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors which constitute the metabolic syndrome is a common phenomenon in urban Chinese diabetic patients. It is associated with hyperinsulinaemia and possibly the female sex. This study emphasises the importance of public health measures to control cardiovascular risk factors in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Bioactivity of Insulin-like growth factors (IGEs) are positively or negatively regulated by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). Like IGFs, production of IGFBPs are influenced by a number of hormonal factors. We studied the effects of cytokines on production of IGFBPs in human fibroblasts in culture. Both IL-1beta and TNF-alpha inhibited IGFBP-3 (42/38 KDa species) production in a concentration dependent manner judged by Western ligand blot. Expression of IGFBP-3 mRNA was also decreased by these cytokines. Moreover, the treatment with IL-1beta and TNF-alpha resulted in appearance of smaller mol weight (26 KDa) immunoreactive IGFBP-3 fragment(s) which lacked the ability to bind 125I-IGFs, indicating that these cytokines degrade IGFBP-3 via activation of proteases. Both IL-1beta and TNF-alpha decreased production of IGFBP-4, whereas they increased that of IGFBP-6, IL-6 had little effect on production of IGFBPs. Likewise, interferon-gamma failed to affect of production of IGFBPs except at high concentrations. The present data demonstrate that cytokines, especially IL-1beta and TNF-alpha are potent regulators of IGFBPs production and degradation. These cytokines may alter tissue uptake of IGFs and help to counteract the catabolic state induced by them.

Abstract
In this prospective study, the 24-h blood-pressure profile of 12 patients with type 2 diabetes was monitored before, at 6, and at 12 weeks after initiation of insulin therapy, to determine whether commencement of insulin therapy increases blood pressure in these patients. Insulin dosage adjustment was carried out by using a predetermined algorithm according to body weight and degree of hyperglycemia. The mean insulin dosage at 12 weeks was 72.9 +/- 3.9 units/day. This was associated with an increase in systolic blood pressure from 134.6 +/- 4.3 mm Hg to 144.8 +/- 4.5 mm Hg (p = 0.0001), diastolic blood pressure from 71.9 +/- 2.6 mm Hg to 74.9 +/- 2.2 mm Hg (p = 0.0001), and body mass index (BMI) from 27.2 +/- 0.8 kg/m2 to 29.6 +/- 0.8 kg/m2 (p = 0.0001). Multiple regression analysis showed insulin dosage to be a significant independent factor (p = 0.0003) accounting for 63% of the variance in blood pressure change after adjusting for age, diastolic blood pressure, and base HbA1c. We conclude that insulin therapy may have a deleterious effect on blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, in the clinical setting, it is difficult to isolate this from the confounding effect of weight gain.

Abstract
Three trials were conducted with 216 Yorkshire x Duroc x Hampshire crossbred pigs (equal males and females) weaned at 3 to 4 wk of age (avg 7.4 kg initially) to determine the effectiveness of aspirin in an 18% CP corn-soybean meal starter diet (with and without soybean oil in Trial III) for improving postweaning performance and reducing scours. When aspirin levels common to all trials (0, 250 ppm) or common to Trials II and III (0, 125 and 250 ppm) were compared, improvements in ADG (P less than .10) and daily feed intake (P less than .05) were observed with no effect on efficiency of feed utilization. There was a quadratic effect of aspirin (P less than .10) in Trials II and III, the trend suggesting that the response to 125 ppm was as effective as the response to 250 ppm aspirin. The addition of soybean oil in Trial III did not enhance the response. In all trials, scouring was reduced (P less than .05) when pigs were fed 125 or 250 ppm aspirin; the improvement was greatest for 125 ppm aspirin after 5 d on test. Pooled data suggested no effect (P greater than .10) of aspirin on hemoglobin concentrations and blood clotting times; slightly higher (P less than .10) hematocrit values and DM content of colon digesta occurred in pigs fed 125 ppm aspirin vs controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
