Abstract
The effect of a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) on three-dimensional-printed surimi gel inks was studied. Increasing the concentration of collagen peptide decreased the particle size of HIPE droplets and improved the viscoelasticity and stability. For example, when the collagen peptide concentration was 5 wt%, the viscoelasticity of the HIPE was high, as indicated by the presence of small and uniform particles, which formed a monolayer in the outer layer of the oil droplets to form stable a HIPE. A HIPE was used as the filling material to fill the surimi gel network, which reduced the porosity of the network. Surimi protein and peptides have dual emulsifying effects on the stabilization of oil. After adding the emulsion, the texture, gel properties and rheological properties of the surimi were reduced, and its printing adaptability was improved. This study provides new ideas for the production of surimi and its application in 3D printing.

Abstract
This study aimed to solve the issue of poor lipophilicity of natural bovine serum albumin (BSA) by combining with liposomes (Lips) to stabilize high oil-phase emulsions (HOPEs). The interaction between BSA and Lips was mainly driven by hydrophobic forces, followed by hydrogen bonding. The secondary structure and tertiary structure of BSA were characterized and indicated that the addition of Lips promoted the structural expansion of BSA exposing the hydrophobic groups inside. Interfacial adsorption behaviours were assessed through dynamic interfacial tension, three-phase contact angle, and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. These results indicated that BSA-Lips crosslinking improved wettability, promoting adsorption and rearrangement at the oil-water interface, thereby resulting in a dense interfacial layer. The emulsifying efficacy of BSA-stabilized HOPEs also displayed a distinct Lips dependency. Varying the BSA-to-Lips ratio transformed their consistency from flowing to semi-solid, reinforcing the gel network. Under optimal conditions (BSA: Lips = 1:1), the droplet size of BSA-Lips stabilized HOPEs reached a minimum with a highly uniform distribution. Moreover, a 1:1 BSA to Lips ensured outstanding storage, thermal, and centrifugal stability for the HOPEs. This work provides valuable references for the interaction between protein and Lips, guiding the development of highly stable HOPEs stabilizers.

Abstract
In order to investigate the influences of modified RAE-based film on shrimp quality, the proteomic approach was performed to elucidate preservation mechanism. Results showed that the modified RAE-based film kept better shrimp quality compared with natural RAE-based film in terms of determined biochemical parameters and estimated shelf-life. Totally, 49 differentially abundance proteins (DAPs) were identified compared with shrimp without packaging. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that the modified RAE-based film could maintain functional DAPs which were mainly distributed in the binding, catalytic activity, etc., and metabolic signaling pathways like melanogenesis signaling pathway were remarkably enriched. Meanwhile, there were 25 DAPs showing close relationship with quality traits, and some of them, such as myosin chains, troponin I and heat shock protein were considered as the potential biomarkers to evaluate shrimp quality deterioration. In conclusion, this study revealed the preservation mechanism of modified RAE-based active film on shrimp quality at the protein molecular level.

Abstract
Commercial sterilization plays an important role in extending the shelf-life of coconut milk. However, thermal sterilization affects the quality of coconut milk. This study was initiated to evaluate the effects of atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) treatment on some important quality parameters of coconut milk. ACP treatment had a slight effect on physicochemical characteristics and nutritional ingredients while it obviously reduced the colony count. Furthermore, ACP treatment obviously promoted the formation of lactone, an indispensable volatile substance in coconut milk. Insufficient or moderate ACP treatment had subtle effect on the sensory quality. Notably, moderate ACP treatment reduced the droplet size from 28.0 μm to 18.6 μm, and improved the stability during storage and centrifugation, especially at 60 kV 60 s. Overall, sterilization of coconut milk by ACP at 60 kV 60 s was the most ideal. This study can provide theoretical guidance for the application of ACP in liquid food.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of the interaction between liposomes and myofibrillar protein (MP) on tilapia surimi. The strong interaction between liposomes and MP was primarily mediated through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. Liposomes caused the unfolding of MP structure, resulting in the decrease of α-helix content and transformation of spatial structure. Notably, the appropriate ratio of liposomes improved the gel properties of tilapia surimi. The water distribution, microstructure, and texture characteristics further confirmed that liposomes strengthened the structure of surimi gel through non-covalent bonds. However, excessive liposomes (1.0 %) weakened gel characteristics and texture. Moreover, the proper ratio of liposomes enhanced the stability of surimi gels during digestion, reducing protein digestibility from 66.0 % to 54.8 %. Curcumin-loaded liposomes in gel matrix notably delayed digestion and improved bioavailability. This delay in digestion was attributed to the ability of liposomes to decrease the interaction between MP and digestive enzymes. This study provides new insight into the application of liposomes in protein-rich food matrixes.

Abstract
A novel stable PVA/HPMC/roselle anthocyanin (RAE) indicator film co-pigmented with oxalic acid (OA) was prepared, its properties, application effects and stability enhancement mechanism were investigated correspondingly. The structural characterization revealed that more stable network was formed due to the co-pigmentation facilitated generation of molecular interactions. Meanwhile, the co-pigmentation improved film mechanical and hydrophobic properties compared to both PVA/HPMC/RAE newly prepared (PHRN) or stored (PHRS) film, expressing as higher tensile strength values (12.25% and 14.44% higher than PHRN and PHRS), lower water solubility (7.22% and 10.09% lower than PHRN and PHRS) and water vapor permeability values (33.20% and 21.05% lower than PHRN and PHRS) of PVA/HPMC/RAE/OA newly prepared (PHON) or stored (PHOS) film. Compared with the PHRS film, the PHOS film still presented more distinguishable color variations when being applied to monitor shrimp freshness, owing to the stabilization behaviors of co-pigmentation in anthocyanin conformation. Hence, the co-pigmentation was an effective strategy to enhance film stability, physical and pH-responsive properties after long term storage, leading to better film monitoring effects when applied in real-time freshness monitoring.

Abstract
Passion fruit is a tropical fruit that has plenty of fruit fragrance. During storage, passion fruit quickly loses water, resulting in its poor quality. Researching the mechanism of water loss contributes to prolonging the storage time. In this study, passion fruit was stored at 7 or 25°C to analyze the relationship between epidermal structure and water migration. The epidermal wax and structure of passion fruit began to show signs of destruction from the middle stage (day 8) during storage. The mobility of free water was decreased at 7°C and increased at 25°C in passion fruit from the middle stage of storage (day 8). The migration rate of free water in passion fruit stored at 7°C was lower than that at 25°C. The mobility of immobile water was weaker in the late storage period but that of bound water changed barely. These results showed that the migration of free, immobile, and bound water had a connection with the epidermal structure. Incomplete epidermal structure promoted water loss in passion fruit, with the most pronounced loss of free water. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Maintaining the epidermal structure of passion fruit well can decrease the water loss ratio. Passion fruit stored at low temperatures could better sustain the integrity of epidermal wax and structure; it was able to change the water migration rate in the epidermis of passion fruit, which was conducive to maintaining the water content.

Abstract
The enhancement effects of co-pigmentation on thermal stability of roselle anthocyanin extract (RAE) were investigated. The introduction of organic acids maintained color stability of RAE, and RAE co-pigmented with oxalic acid (OA) presented less color fading rates (19.46 ± 0.33 %) and higher redness (41.33 ± 3.51). Subsequently, suitable co-pigmentation concentration (OA:RAE = 1:2) was obtained regarding with lower ΔE (48.70 ± 2.36). Then, improvement behaviors of co-pigmentation on OA-RAE were evaluated. Results demonstrated that OA-RAE exhibited better thermal stability, as manifested by larger retention rates and more favorable thermal degradation kinetic parameters. Furthermore, both molecular docking simulation and experimental structural characterization revealed that hydrogen bonds and other non-covalent bonds made up the main parts of molecular interactions, leading to formation of stable binary complex. As a result, the aromatic ring of RAE was protected. In conclusion, the co-pigmentation of RAE via introduction of OA was effective in stability enhancement due to the generation of molecular bindings.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of pH and NaCl concentrations on the structure of golden pompano myosin and emulsion gel were analyzed using SEM in combination with molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). The microscopic morphology and spatial structure of myosin were investigated at different pH (3.0, 7.0, and 11.0) and NaCl concentrations (0.0, 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 M), and their effects on the stability of emulsion gels were discussed. Our results show that pH had a greater effect on the microscopic morphology of myosin than NaCl. The MDS results show that under the condition of pH 7.0 and 0.6 M NaCl, the myosin expanded and experienced significant fluctuations in its amino acid residues. However, NaCl showed a greater effect on the number of hydrogen bonds than pH. Although changes in pH and NaCl concentrations only slightly altered the secondary structures in myosin, they, nevertheless, significantly influenced the protein spatial conformation. The stability of the emulsion gel was affected by pH changes but not NaCl concentrations, which only affect the rheology. The best elastic modulus G″ of the emulsion gel was obtained at pH 7.0 and 0.6 M NaCl. Based on the results, we conclude that pH changes have a greater influence than NaCl concentrations on the spatial structure and conformation of myosin, contributing to the instability of its emulsion gel state. The data from this study would serve as a valuable reference for emulsion gel rheology modification in future research.

Abstract
In this study, the physicochemical properties, functional properties and N-glycoproteome of tilapia myofibrillar protein (TMP), golden pompano myofibrillar protein (GPMP) and skipjack tuna myofibrillar protein (STMP) were assessed. The microstructures and protein compositions of the three MPs were similar. TMP and GPMP had higher solubility, sulfhydryl content and endogenous fluorescence intensity, lower surface hydrophobicity and β-sheet contents than STMP. The results showed that the protein structures of TMP and GPMP were more folded and stable. Due to its low solubility and high surface hydrophobicity, STMP had low emulsifying activity and high foaming activity. By N-glycoproteomics analysis, 23, 85 and 22 glycoproteins that contained 28, 129 and 35 N-glycosylation sites, were identified in TMP, GPMP and STMP, respectively. GPMP had more N-glycoproteins and N-glycosylation sites than STMP, which was possibly the reason for GPMP’s higher solubility and EAI. These results provide useful information for the effective utilization of various fish products.

Abstract
Objective This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the exogenous overexpression of nerve growth factors NT-3 and IGF-1 on the recovery of nerve function after spinal cord injury (SCI) and identify the potential mechanism involved. Methods Sixty-four female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: an SCI group, an adeno-associated viral (AAV)-RFP and AAV-GFP injection group, an AAV-IGF-1 and AAV-NT-3 injection group, and a Sham group. After grouping, the rats were subjected to a 10-week electrophysiological and behavioral evaluation to comprehensively evaluate the effects of the intervention on motor function, spasticity, mechanical pain, and thermal pain. Ten weeks later, samples were taken for immunofluorescence (IF) staining and Western blot (WB) detection, focusing on the expression of KCC2, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors in motor neurons and the spinal cord. Results Electrophysiological and behavioral data indicated that the AAV-IGF-1 and AAV-NT-3 groups showed better recovery of motor function (P < 0.05 from D14 compared with the AAV-RFP + AAV-GFP group; P < 0.05 from D42 compared with SCI group) and less spasticity (4-10 weeks, at 5 Hz all P < 0.05 compared with SCI group and AAV- RFP + AAV-GFP group) but with a trend for more pain sensitivity. Compared with the SCI group, the von Frey value result of the AAV-IGF-1 and AAV-NT-3 groups showed a lower pain threshold (P < 0.05 at 4-8 weeks), and shorter thermal pain threshold (P < 0.05 at 8-10 weeks). IF staining further suggested that compared with the SCI group, the overexpression of NT-3 and IGF-1 in the SCI-R + G group led to increased levels of KCC2 (p < 0.05), 5-HT2A (p < 0.05), and 5-HT2C (p < 0.001) in motor neurons. WB results showed that compared with the SCI group, the SCI-R + G group exhibited higher expression levels of CHAT (p < 0.01), 5-HT2A (p < 0.05), and 5-HT2C (p < 0.05) proteins in the L2-L6 lumbar enlargement. Conclusion Data analysis showed that the overexpression of NT-3 and IGF-1 may improve motor function after SCI and alleviate spasms in a rat model; however, these animals were more sensitive to mechanical pain and thermal pain. These behavioral changes may be related to increased numbers of KCC2, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors in the spinal cord tissue. The results of this study may provide a new theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of SCI.

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
Squid are commercial marine species that have high nutritional value. This study aimed to compare the influences of vacuum frying and atmospheric frying on the physicochemical properties and protein oxidation of three main parts (ring, tentacle, and fin) of the squid Loligo chinensis. The results showed that the vacuum-fried (VF) group had lower moisture and total fat contents and looser microstructures than the atmospheric-fried (AF) group. The amino acid contents and molecular weight revealed that the proteins were well preserved during vacuum frying. Carbonyl content in the VF ring, tentacle, and fin samples increased nearly 2.53-, 1.54-, and 2.56-fold, respectively, compared to that in the corresponding fresh group, but these increases were lower than those of the corresponding AF group. In addition, the secondary structures of proteins revealed a slight decrease in the α-helix and β-turn contents and a significant increase in the β-sheet content during vacuum frying. Therefore, vacuum frying can be used as an efficient processing method to conserve the high nutritive quality of the product. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: As a developing alternative technology to prepare healthier fried products, vacuum frying has been the focus of recent researches. Vacuum frying produced squid products that had lower TBARS values, carbonyl contents, and Schiff base substances compared to atmospheric frying. And the protein secondary structures of the vacuum-fried group retained better. The study proved that vacuum frying could be an effective method with the advantages of high protein stability and product quality.

Abstract
The 2020 coronavirus pandemic and the following quarantine measures have led to significant changes in daily life worldwide. Preliminary research indicates that air quality has improved in many urban areas as a result of these measures. This study takes a neighborhood-scale approach to quantifying this change in pollution. Using data from a network of citizen-hosted, low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors, called Air Quality & yoU (AQ&U), we obtained high-spatial resolution measurements compared to the relatively sparse state monitoring stations. We compared monthly average estimated PM2.5 concentrations from February 11 to May 11, 2019 at 71 unique locations in Salt Lake County, UT, USA with the same (71) sensors' measurements during the same timeframe in 2020. A paired t-test showed significant reductions (71.1% and 21.3%) in estimated monthly PM2.5 concentrations from 2019 to 2020 for the periods from March 11-April 10 and April 11-May 10, respectively. The March time period corresponded to the most stringent COVID-19 related restrictions in this region. Significant decreases in PM2.5 were also reported by state monitoring sites during March (p < 0.001 compared to the previous 5-year average). While we observed decreases in PM2.5 concentrations across the valley in 2020, it is important to note that the PM2.5 concentrations did not improve equally in all locations. We observed the greatest reductions at lower elevation, more urbanized areas, likely because of the already low levels of PM2.5 at the higher elevation, more residential areas, which were generally below 2 μg/m3 in both 2019 and 2020. Although many of measurements during March and April were near or below the estimated detection limit of the low-cost PM sensors and the federal equivalent measurements, every low-cost sensor (51) showed a reduction in PM2.5 concentration in March of 2020 compared to 2019. These results suggest that the air quality improvement seen after March 11, 2020 is due to quarantine measures reducing traffic and decreasing pollutant emissions in the region.

Abstract
Introduction: Cell biology studies, animal models and other data suggest a role for sirtuin-1 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We hypothesized the clinical significance of serum sirtuin-1 in this disease.Methods: Serum was obtained from 141 RA patients, 144 non-RA patients and 88 healthy controls. Sirtuin-1, anti-mutant citrulline vimentin antibody (anti-MCV), anti-cyclic citrulline polypeptide antibody (anti-CCP), rheumatoid factor and C-reactive protein were measured by immunological methods, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was determined by the Westergren method.Results: All markers were higher in the RA group than in the non-RA group and the healthy control group (P < 0.01). The specificity of sirtuin-1 for the diagnosis of RA was 97% (the highest among all markers), sensitivity was 71%. In ROC curve analysis, the AUCs (95% CI) of sirtuin-1, anti-CCP and anti-MCV were 0.87 (0.82-0.91), 0.91 (0.88-0.94) and 0.92 (0.89-0.95) respectively (all p < 0.01). The combination of sirtuin-1and anti-MCV gave the highest Youden index of 0.79, whilst Cox regression showed sirtuin-1 and rheumatoid factor were the strongest independent predictors of RA.Conclusions: Serum sirtuin-1 is increased in RA, and may have a place is the diagnosis of this disease when combined with other markers.

Abstract
MDAP-2 is a new AMP with high inhibitory activity on Salmonella gallinarum, which may be developed as an antimicrobial agent in the agricultural industry and food preservation. To investigate the underlying the action mechanism of MDAP-2 on Salmonella gallinarum, impacts of MDAP-2 on the growth curve and bacterial morphology of Salmonella gallinarum were studied. iTRAQ-based proteomics analysis was also performed on proteins extracted from treated and untreated Salmonella gallinarum cells. The differentially expressed proteins were then analyzed using the KEGG and GO databases. Finally, the function of some differentially expressed proteins was verified. The results showed that 150 proteins (41 up-regulated and 109 down-regulated) were found differentially expressed (fold > 1.8, p⟨0.05). The results indi- cate that MDAP-2 kills Salmonella gallinarum mainly through two mechanisms: (i) direct inhibi- tion of cell wall/ membrane/ envelope biogenesis, energy production/ conversion, carbohydrate transport/ metabolism, and DNA transcription/ translation through regulation of special protein levels; (ii) indirect effects on the same pathway through the accumulation of Reactive oxygen species (O2 ▪-, H2O2 and OH▪-).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Animal experiments verified that dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) can protect vascular endothelial cells from ischemic damage and promote vascular proliferation in ischemic stroke treatment, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully clarified. This study aimed to investigate the effects of NBP on peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) expression in endothelial cells exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and to clarify the related molecular mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS SV40-transformed aortic rat endothelial cell line was cultured and subjected to OGD in the presence or absence of NBP. The cell viability was evaluated by using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. The cellular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity was measured by using eNOS activity assay. The nuclear changes were assessed with Hoechst 33342 fluorescent dye. The immunofluorescence analysis and Western blotting assay were conducted to evaluate the protein expression. RESULTS We found that NBP could significantly prevent endothelial cells from OGD-induced injuries, in terms of cell morphology and cell viability. Both immunofluorescence analysis and Western blot findings confirmed that the NBP treatment further enhanced PGC-1α expression during OGD, which was prevented in the presence of selective endothelial nitric oxide synthetase (eNOS) inhibitor N5-(1-Iminoethyl)-L-ornithine-HCL (L-NIO). Furthermore, we found that NBP could protect the eNOS activity about by 40% during OGD and did not influence the eNOS protein level in the spectrophotometric-based analysis. CONCLUSIONS NBP maintained the endothelial PGC-1α expression via regulating eNOS activity during the exposure to OGD; therefore, it presented its protective function to cell viability and vascular proliferation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Serological markers are important in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other connective tissues diseases This study explored the clinical value of collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) and 14-3-3η protein, compared to routine markers, in the diagnosis of RA. METHODS We recruited 103 RA patients, 105 non-RA patients (osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus) and 59 healthy controls. CTHRC1, 14-3-3η, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP), anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin antibody (anti-MCV), rheumatoid factor and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels were measured, and their diagnostic value for RA evaluated and compared. RESULTS All laboratory indices were elevated in RA (P < 0.05). Of these, anti-MCV had the highest sensitivity (86.4%) and anti-CCP the highest specificity (94.5%). The areas under the curve (AUC) of CTHRC1, 14-3-3η, anti-CCP, anti-MCV, rheumatoid factor and ESR were 0.84, 0.81, 0.89, 0.91, 0.85 and 0.77 respectively (all P < 0.01). Anti-CCP and anti-MCV were the most valuable in the diagnosis of RA. The combination of anti-CCP and anti-MCV had the maximum Youden index, followed by the combination of anti-CCP and 14-3-3η. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that 14-3-3η had the largest odds ratio value (95% CI) at 5.1 (2.1-12.5) for RA. CONCLUSION CTHRC1 and 14-3-3η are promising serological indicators of RA, and when combined with anti-CCP, anti-MCV and ESR, can improve the diagnosis of this disease.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the short-term efficacy of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty(TKA) in the treatment of medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 197 patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee treated by the same group of doctors from January 2015 to December 2018.There were 86 males and 111 females, aged (67.7±10.5) years (range: 46 to 92 years), among which 101 cases received UKA and 96 cases received TKA.The UKA and TKA patients were matched by the propensity score matching method, and a total of 41 pairs of patients were successfully matched.The difference of short-term outcomes between the two groups were compared by t test, χ(2) test or Fisher exact probability methods. Results: Compared with TKA group, the postoperative reduction of hemogloblin in the UKA group was lower ((15.3±6.4) g/L vs. (20.1±7.5) g/L, t=-3.117, P<0.01), opioid dosage was lower ((160.5±29.3) mg vs. (186.1±46.8) mg, t=-2.969, P<0.01), and the length of hospital stay was shorter ((7.0±2.0)d vs. (10.0±2.5)d, t=-6.000, P<0.01). Forgotten joint score of UKA group was higher ( (65.1±7.6) vs. (58.3±13.9) , t=2.732, P<0.01), the incidence of knee clunk or crepitus was lower (P=0.03) . There was no significant difference in the time of surgical tourniquet, range of motion, American knee society clinical score and incidence of deep vein thrombosis in lower extremities between the two groups.No complications such as surgical site infection, prosthesis loosening and dislocation occurred in the two groups. Conclusion: The early effect of UKA is similar to that of TKA, and it is better than TKA in the aspects of knee clunk or crepitus, forgotten joint score, blood loss, opioid dosage and postoperative hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most common dementia worldwide, Alzheimer's disease is often diagnosed via biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid, including reduced levels of Aβ1-42, and increases in total tau and phosphorylated tau-181. Here we describe results of a Phase 2a study of a promising new drug candidate that significantly reversed all measured biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. PTI-125 is an oral small molecule drug candidate that binds and reverses an altered conformation of the scaffolding protein filamin A found in Alzheimer's disease brain. Altered filamin A links to the α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor to allow Aβ42's toxic signaling through this receptor to hyperphosphorylate tau. Altered filamin A also links to toll-like receptor 4 to enable Aβ-induced persistent activation of this receptor and inflammatory cytokine release. Restoring the native shape of filamin A prevents or reverses filamin A's linkages to the α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and toll-like receptor 4, thereby blocking Aβ42's activation of these receptors. The result is reduced tau hyperphosphorylation and neuroinflammation, with multiple functional improvements demonstrated in transgenic mice and postmortem Alzheimer's disease brain. OBJECTIVES Safety, pharmacokinetics, and cerebrospinal fluid and plasma biomarkers were assessed following treatment with PTI-125 for 28 days. Target engagement and mechanism of action were assessed in patient lymphocytes by measuring 1) the reversal of filamin A's altered conformation, 2) linkages of filamin A with α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor or toll-like receptor 4, and 3) levels of Aβ42 bound to α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor or CD14, the co-receptor for toll-like receptor 4. DESIGN This was a first-in-patient, open-label Phase 2a safety, pharmacokinetics and biomarker study. SETTING Five clinical trial sites in the U.S. under an Investigational New Drug application. PARTICIPANTS This study included 13 mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease patients, age 50-85, Mini Mental State Exam ≥16 and ≤24 with a cerebrospinal fluid total tau/Aβ42 ratio ≥0.30. INTERVENTION PTI-125 oral tablets (100 mg) were administered twice daily for 28 consecutive days. MEASUREMENTS Safety was assessed by electrocardiograms, clinical laboratory analyses and adverse event monitoring. Plasma levels of PTI-125 were measured in blood samples taken over 12 h after the first and last doses; cerebrospinal fluid levels were measured after the last dose. Commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assays assessed levels of biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma before and after treatment with PTI-125. The study measured biomarkers of pathology (pT181 tau, total tau and Aβ42), neurodegeneration (neurofilament light chain and neurogranin) and neuroinflammation (YKL-40, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor α). Plasma levels of phosphorylated and nitrated tau were assessed by immunoprecipitation of tau followed by immunoblotting of three different phospho-epitopes elevated in AD (pT181-tau, pS202-tau and pT231-tau) and nY29-tau. Changes in conformation of filamin A in lymphocytes were measured by isoelectric focusing point. Filamin A linkages to α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and toll-like receptor 4 were assessed by immunoblot detection of α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and toll-like receptor 4 in anti-filamin A immunoprecipitates from lymphocytes. Aβ42 complexed with α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor or CD14 in lymphocytes was also measured by co-immunoprecipitation. The trial did not measure cognition. RESULTS Consistent with the drug's mechanism of action and preclinical data, PTI-125 reduced cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation from baseline to Day 28. All patients showed a biomarker response to PTI-125. Total tau, neurogranin, and neurofilament light chain decreased by 20%, 32% and 22%, respectively. Phospho-tau (pT181) decreased 34%, evidence that PTI-125 suppresses tau hyperphosphorylation induced by Aβ42's signaling through α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of neuroinflammation (YKL-40 and inflammatory cytokines) decreased by 5-14%. Biomarker effects were similar in plasma. Aβ42 increased slightly - a desirable result because low Aβ42 indicates Alzheimer's disease. This increase is consistent with PTI-125's 1,000-fold reduction of Aβ42's femtomolar binding affinity to α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Biomarker reductions were at least p ≤ 0.001 by paired t test. Target engagement was shown in lymphocytes by a shift in filamin A's conformation from aberrant to native: 93% was aberrant on Day 1 vs. 40% on Day 28. As a result, filamin A linkages with α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and toll-like receptor 4, and Aβ42 complexes with α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and CD14, were all significantly reduced by PTI-125. PTI-125 was safe and well-tolerated in all patients. Plasma half-life was 4.5 h and approximately 30% drug accumulation was observed on Day 28 vs. Day 1. CONCLUSIONS PTI-125 significantly reduced biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation in both cerebrospinal fluid and plasma. All patients responded to treatment. The magnitude and consistency of reductions in established, objective biomarkers imply that PTI-125 treatment counteracted disease processes and reduced the rate of neurodegeneration. Based on encouraging biomarker data and safety profile, approximately 60 patients with mild-to-moderate AD are currently being enrolled in a Phase 2b randomized, placebo-controlled confirmatory study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of PTI-125.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has become a worldwide concern in recent years. In this study, the effect of Holothuria leucospilota polysaccharide (HLP) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was investigated in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. The results showed that HLP significantly improved glucose intolerance and regulated blood lipid and hormone levels (p < 0.05). Pathological analysis showed that HLP repaired the impairments of the pancreas and colon in diabetic rats. In addition, a high dose of HLP (200 mg/kg) significantly upregulated the gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (PKB/AKT), glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2), and downregulated the mRNA levels of pro-apoptotic (Bax) and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) in diabetic rats (p < 0.05). Furthermore, HLP treatment increased the short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria and decreased the opportunistic bacterial pathogen in the feces of diabetic rats. These results demonstrated that HLP has the potential to ameliorate T2DM in GK rats.

Abstract
Introduction: Circulating markers of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) include the 14-3-3η protein, high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies, anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) antibodies and rheumatoid factor (RF). We set out to determine which two markers in combination provided best discriminatory power for this disease.Methods: We recruited 108 RA patients, 102 non-RA patients (SLE, AS, Sjogren's syndrome, MCTD) and 90 healthy controls. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio and the Youden index of each analyte were calculated and binary logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were performed to evaluate their diagnostic value for RA alone and in paired combination.Results: As expected, all markers were elevated in RA patients (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that 14-3-3η had the highest odds ratio (95% CI) at 2.4 (1.9-2.8). Anti-CCP and anti-MCV had the highest areas under the curves [AUC (95% CI)] at 0.85 (0.78-0.90) and 0.85 (0.78-0.91) respectively (both P < 0.001). In serial detection (one marker followed by another), no combination had a Youden index >0.6. In parallel analysis (both considered together) several combinations had a Youden index >0.7, of which the highest (0.78) was anti-CCP with anti-MCV, with a sensitivity of 93.3% and specificity of 84.7%.Conclusions: Despite individual increases in serum 14-3-3η, HMGB1, anti-CCP, anti-MCV and RF, the combination of anti-CCP and anti-MCV might be of great help for diagnostic in RA, and so should be considered as routine tests for this disease.

Abstract
The impacts of the vacuum freeze (VFD), hot air (HAD), microwave (MD) and vacuum microwave (VMD) drying on the flavour of golden pompano fillets were evaluated using an electronic nose (E-nose), an electronic tongue (E-tongue) and simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) - gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the E-nose and E-tongue systems could effectively differentiate volatile compounds of four samples. A total of 86 volatile flavour components were identified in the dried fillets; the main flavour components contained hydrocarbons (39), aldehydes (15), esters (10) and alcohols (9). HAD, MD and VMD processing promoted a gradual reduction in ketones and the generation of esters, while the fillets that were processed by VFD contained more hydrocarbon (29.68%) and alcohol (2.64%) compounds. The volatile compounds of dried golden pompano fillets were developed through four potential pathways, including the Maillard reaction, lipid oxidation and degradation, protein hydrolysis, and Strecker degradation.

Abstract
MDAP-2 is a new antibacterial peptide with a unique structure that was isolated from house- flies. However, its biological characteristics and antibacterial mechanisms against bacteria are still poorly understood. To study the biological characteristics, antibacterial activity, hemolytic activi- ty, cytotoxicity to mammalian cells, and the secondary structure of MDAP-2 were detected; the results showed that MDAP-2 displayed high antibacterial activity against all of the tested Gram-negative bacteria. MDAP-2 had lower hemolytic activity to rabbit red blood cells; only 3.4% hemolytic activity was observed at a concentration of 800μg/ml. MDAP-2 also had lower cytotoxicity to mammalian cells; IC50 values for HEK-293 cells, VERO cells, and IPEC-J2 cells were greater than 1000 μg/ml. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra showed that the peptide most- ly has α-helical properties and some β-fold structure in water and in membrane-like conditions. MDAP-2 is therefore a promising antibacterial agent against Gram-negative bacteria. To deter- mine the antibacterial mechanism(s) of action, fluorescent probes, flow cytometry, and transmis- sion electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the effects of MDAP-2 on membrane perme- ability, polarization ability, and integrity of Gram-negative bacteria. The results indicated that the peptide caused membrane depolarization, increased membrane permeability, and destroyed membrane integrity. In conclusion, MDAP-2 is a broad-spectrum, lower hemolytic activity, and lower cytotoxicity antibacterial peptide, which is mainly effective on Gram-negative bacteria. It exerts its antimicrobial effects by causing bacterial cytoplasm membrane depolarization, increas- ing cell membrane permeability and disturbing the membrane integrity of Gram-negative bacte- ria. MDAP-2 may offer a new strategy to for defense against Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Metals are the backbone of manufacturing owing to their strength and formability. Compared to polymers they have high mass density. There is, however, one exception: magnesium. It has a density of only 1.7 g/cm3, making it the lightest structural material, 4.5 times lighter than steels, 1.7 times lighter than aluminum, and even slightly lighter than carbon fibers. Yet, the widespread use of magnesium is hampered by its intrinsic brittleness. While other metallic alloys have multiple dislocation slip systems, enabling their well-known ductility, the hexagonal lattice of magnesium offers insufficient modes of deformation, rendering it intrinsically brittle. We have developed a quantum-mechanically derived treasure map which screens solid solution combinations with electronic bonding, structure and volume descriptors for similarity to the ductile magnesium-rare earth alloys. Using this insight we synthesized a surprisingly simple, compositionally lean, low-cost and industry-compatible new alloy which is over 4 times more ductile and 40% stronger than pure magnesium. The alloy contains 1 wt.% aluminum and 0.1 wt.% calcium, two inexpensive elements which are compatible with downstream recycling constraints.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease with high mortality. The mechanisms underlying its pathological complications have not been fully identified. Here, we investigate the potential involvement of the glymphatic system in the neuropathology of SAH. We demonstrate that blood components rapidly enter the paravascular space following SAH and penetrate into the perivascular parenchyma throughout the brain, causing disastrous events such as cerebral vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia, microcirculation dysfunction and widespread perivascular neuroinflammation. Clearance of the paravascular pathway with tissue-type plasminogen activator ameliorates the behavioral deficits and alleviates histological injury of SAH. Interestingly, AQP4−/− mice showed no improvements in neurological deficits and neuroinflammation at day 7 after SAH compared with WT control mice. In conclusion, our study proves that the paravascular pathway dynamically mediates the pathological complications following acute SAH independently of glymphatic control.

Abstract
The adenovirus vector (AdV) can carry two transgenes in its genome, the therapeutic gene and a reporter gene, for example. The E3 insertion site has often been used for the expression of the second transgene. A transgene can be inserted at six different sites/orientations: E1, E3 and E4 sites, and right and left orientations. However, the best combination of the insertion sites and orientations as for the titers and the expression levels has not sufficiently been studied. We attempted to construct 18 AdVs producing GFP or LacZ gene driven by the EF1α promoter and Cre gene driven by the α-fetoprotein promoter. The AdV containing GFP gene at E3 in the rightward orientation (GFP-E3R) was not available. The LacZ-E3R AdV showed 20-fold lower titer and 50-fold lower level of fiber mRNA than the control E1L AdV. Notably, we found four aberrantly spliced mRNAs in the LacZ-E3L/R AdVs, probably explaining their very low titers. Although the transgene expression levels in the E4R AdVs were about threefold lower than those in the E1L AdVs, their titers are comparable with that of E1L AdVs. We concluded that E1L and E4R sites/orientations are preferable for expressing the main target gene and a second gene, respectively.

Abstract
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is caused by a (CAG)n trinucleotide repeat expansion that is translated into an abnormally long polyglutamine tract. This disease is considered the most common form of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). In the present study, we developed stable inducible cell lines (PC12Tet-On-Ataxin-3-Q28/84) expressing ataxin-3 with either normal or abnormal CAG repeats under doxycycline control. The expression of acetyl histone H3 and the induction of c-Fos in response to cAMP were strongly suppressed in cells expressing the protein with the expanded polyglutamine tract. Treatment with valproic acid, a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), attenuated mutant ataxin-3-induced cell toxicity and suppression of acetyl histone H3, phosphorylated cAMP-responsive element binding protein (p-CREB) as well as c-Fos expression. These results indicate that VPA can stimulate the up-regulation of gene transcription through hyperacetylation. Thus, VPA might have a therapeutic effect on MJD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Mother's body mass index (BMI) is a strong predictor of child BMI. Whether mother's BMI correlates with child's food intake is unclear. We investigated associations between mother's BMI/overweight and child's food intake using data from two German birth cohorts. SUBJECTS/METHODS Food intakes from 3230 participants were derived from parent-completed food frequency questionnaires. Intakes of 11 food groups were categorized into three levels using group- and sex-specific tertile cutoffs. Mother's BMI and overweight were calculated on the basis of questionnaire data. Multinomial regression models assessed associations between a child's food intake and mother's BMI/overweight. Linear regression models assessed associations between a child's total energy intake and mother's BMI. Models were adjusted for study region, maternal education, child's age, sex, pubertal status and energy intake and the BMIs of the child and father. RESULTS Mothers' BMI was associated with high meat intake in children (adjusted relative risk ratio (RRR (95% confidence interval))=1.06 (1.03; 1.09)). Mothers' overweight was associated with the meat intake (medium versus low RRR=1.30 (1.07; 1.59); high versus low RRR=1.50 (1.19; 1.89)) and egg intake (medium versus low RRR=1.24 (1.02; 1.50); high versus low RRR=1.30 (1.07; 1.60)) of children. There were no consistent associations for rest of the food groups. For every one-unit increase in mothers' BMI, the total energy intake in children increased by 9.2 kcal (3.7; 14.7). However, this effect was not significant after adjusting for children's BMI. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that mother's BMI and mother's overweight are important correlates of a child's intake of energy, meat and eggs.

Abstract
Mental and neurological illnesses affect one in four people. While genetic linkage analyses have shown an association of nuclear distribution factor E (NDE1, or NudE) and its ohnolog NDE-like 1 (NDEL1, or Nudel) with mental disorders, the cellular mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we have demonstrated that Nde1 and Ndel1 are differentially localised in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the forebrain and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampus, two regions where neurogenesis actively occurs in the adult brain. Nde1, but not Ndel1, is localized to putative SVZ stem cells, and to actively dividing progenitors of the SGZ. The influence of these proteins on neural stem cell differentiation was investigated by overexpression in a hippocampal neural stem cell line, HCN-A94. Increasing Nde1 expression in this neural stem cell line led to increased neuronal differentiation while decreasing levels of astroglial differentiation. In primary cultured neurons and astrocytes, Nde1 and Ndel1 were found to have different but comparable subcellular localizations. In addition, we have shown for the first time that Nde1 is heterogeneously distributed in cortical astrocytes of human brains. Our data indicate that Nde1 and Ndel1 have distinct but overlapping distribution patterns in mouse brain and cultured nerve cells. They may function differently and therefore their dosage changes may contribute to some aspects of mental disorders.

Abstract
AIMS To examine single nucleotide polymorphisms in the protein tyrosine phosphatase N22 gene (PTPN22) and to study their association with Type 1 diabetes in a Chinese cohort. METHODS Three hundred and sixty-four young patients with Type 1 diabetes and 719 healthy children were included in this case-controlled study. The genotypes of rs1217385, rs2488457 (-1123C>G), rs1217414, rs1217419, rs3765598 and rs2476601 (1858C>T) in the PTPN22 gene were determined using the SNaPshot method. Alleles, genotypes and haplotype frequencies were compared between patients with Type 1 diabetes and healthy control subjects. The association between single nucleotide polymorphisms and clinical traits/autoantibody status was also analysed. RESULTS The single nucleotide polymorphism, rs1217419, located in the second intron of the PTPN22 gene was associated with Type 1 diabetes (odds ratio 1.5, 95% CI 1.14-1.97, P = 0.003). An additional single nucleotide polymorphism, rs1217385, was also associated with Type 1 diabetes; however, the association was secondary to that of rs1217419. The previously reported single nucleotide polymorphism that is associated with Type 1 diabetes (-1123G>C) had only marginal association with Type 1 diabetes in our study. A marginal association was also identified between -1123G>C and glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody positivity in patients with Type 1 diabetes. There was no association between the single nucleotide polymorphism 1858C>T and Type 1 diabetes in our studied cohort. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirmed that PTPN22 is a gene that contributes to Type 1 diabetes susceptibility. The primary association occurs with single nucleotide polymorphism rs1217419 and there is clear heterogeneity of the association between PTPTN22 polymorphisms and Type 1 diabetes in a Chinese population compared with other populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) S1647T has been identified as a risk variant for Parkinson's disease (PD) in Han Chinese. METHODS To replicate the association of LRRK2 S1647T with risk of PD, we conducted a case-control study of this variant involving 406 PD subjects and 412 controls from southern mainland China. RESULTS The results showed that the frequency of A allele was higher in patients with PD (OR=1.238, 95% CI: 1.015-1.510, P=0.035) compared to controls. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis with the disease group (patients with PD vs. controls) as the dependent variable and genotype as an independent factor adjusting for the effect of age and gender, the homozygous S1647T genotype (AA) was associated with an increased risk of PD (OR=1.815, 95% CI:1.270-2.594, P=0.001). The pooled analysis of present data and the data from the previous work demonstrated that the frequency of A allele was higher in patients with PD (OR=1.2, 95% CI: 1.09-1.32, P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS LRRK2 S1647T increases the risk of Parkinson's disease in southern China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and clinical characteristics of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis vary widely in different countries and studies on Chinese population are rarely reported. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of PsA in a Chinese population of patients with psoriasis. METHODS A large cross-sectional observational study was conducted in our outpatient dermatology department and consecutive psoriatic patients were evaluated for PsA according to Classification of Psoriatic arthritis (CASPAR) criteria. Demographic and medical parameters were recorded. RESULTS Among 1928 patients with psoriasis, 112 patients (5.8%) had PsA, of which 92% was newly diagnosed. Oligoarthritis (48.2%) was the most common manifestation pattern, followed by spondylitis (26.8%), polyarthritis (19.6%) and classic distal interphalangeal (DIP) arthritis (5.4%). Enthesitis was present in 26.8% and dactylitis in 13.4% of the patients. Compared with patients without PsA, patients with PsA had more severe skin disease (mean PASI 9.7 vs. 6.0), higher frequency of nail changes (46.4% vs. 21.0%) and scalp involvement (90.2% vs. 76.4%). CONCLUSION The findings are consistent with a low prevalence of PsA among patients with psoriasis in Asia and confirm a high percentage of undiagnosed cases with active arthritis among PsA patients in dermatologist's office. Dermatologists should screen for PsA in their patients, especially those with risk characteristics and early signs.
