Abstract
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a powerful antioxidant polyphenol molecule found in many diets and liquid beverages, playing a preventive and therapeutic role in various diseases caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. Recent research has found that CGA can not only improve clinical symptoms in PCOS patients but also improve follicular development, hormone status, and oxidative stress in PCOS rats, indicating the therapeutic effect of CGA on PCOS. Notably, our previous series of studies has demonstrated the expression changes and regulatory mechanisms of HIF-1alpha signaling in PCOS ovaries. Considering the regulatory effect of CGA on the HIF-1alpha pathway, the present article systematically elucidates the therapeutic role and molecular mechanisms of HIF-1alpha signaling during the treatment of PCOS by CGA, including follicular development, steroid synthesis, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance, in order to further understand the mechanisms of CGA effects in different types of diseases and to provide a theoretical basis for further promoting CGA-rich diets and beverages simultaneously.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis (TN) was associated with poor prognosis. However, the traditional classification of TN ignored spatial intratumor heterogeneity, which may be associated with important prognosis. The purpose of this study was to propose a new method to reveal the hidden prognostic value of spatial heterogeneity of TN in invasive breast cancer (IBC). METHODS Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) was used to obtain multiphoton images from 471 patients. According to the relative spatial positions of TN, tumor cells, collagen fibers and myoepithelium, four spatial heterogeneities of TN (TN1-4) were defined. Based on the frequency of individual TN, TN-score was obtained to investigate the prognostic value of TN. RESULTS Patients with high-risk TN had worse 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) than patients with no necrosis (32.5% vs. 64.7%; P < 0.0001 in training set; 45.8% vs. 70.8%; P = 0.017 in validation set), while patients with low-risk TN had a 5-year DFS comparable to patients with no necrosis (60.0% vs. 64.7%; P = 0.497 in training set; 59.8% vs. 70.8%; P = 0.121 in validation set). Furthermore, high-risk TN "up-staged" the patients with IBC. Patients with high-risk TN and stage I tumors had a 5-year DFS comparable to patients with stage II tumors (55.6% vs. 62.0%; P = 0.565 in training set; 62.5% vs. 66.3%; P = 0.856 in validation set), as well as patients with high-risk TN and stage II tumors had a 5-year DFS comparable to patients with stage III tumors (33.3% vs. 24.6%; P = 0.271 in training set; 44.4% vs. 39.3%; P = 0.519 in validation set). CONCLUSIONS TN-score was an independent prognostic factor for 5-year DFS. Only high-risk TN was associated with poor prognosis. High-risk TN "up-staged" the patients with IBC. Incorporating TN-score into staging category could improve its performance to stratify patients.

Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a highly pathogenic Vesiculovirus infecting the common carp, yet neither a vaccine nor effective therapies are available to treat spring viremia of carp (SVC). Like all negative-sense viruses, SVCV contains an RNA genome that is encapsidated by the nucleoprotein (N) in the form of a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, which serves as the template for viral replication and transcription. Here, the three-dimensional (3D) structure of SVCV RNP was resolved through cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) at a resolution of 3.7 Å. RNP assembly was stabilized by N and C loops; RNA was wrapped in the groove between the N and C lobes with 9 nt nucleotide per protomer. Combined with mutational analysis, our results elucidated the mechanism of RNP formation. The RNA binding groove of SVCV N was used as a target for drug virtual screening, and it was found suramin had a good antiviral effect. This study provided insights into RNP assembly, and anti-SVCV drug screening was performed on the basis of this structure, providing a theoretical basis and efficient drug screening method for the prevention and treatment of SVC. IMPORTANCE Aquaculture accounts for about 70% of global aquatic products, and viral diseases severely harm the development of aquaculture industry. Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is the pathogen causing highly contagious spring viremia of carp (SVC) disease in cyprinids, especially common carp (Cyprinus carpio), yet neither a vaccine nor effective therapies are available to treat this disease. In this study, we have elucidated the mechanism of SVCV ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) formation by resolving the 3D structure of SVCV RNP and screened antiviral drugs based on the structure. It is found that suramin could competitively bind to the RNA binding groove and has good antiviral effects both in vivo and in vitro. Our study provides a template for rational drug discovery efforts to treat and prevent SVCV infections.

Abstract
Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor which has been widely used to combat several solid tumors, whereas irinotecan therapy can induce liver injury. Liver injury generally leads to tissue hypoxia, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a pivotal transcription factor, mediates adaptive pathophysiological responses to lower oxygen condition. Previous studies have reported a relationship between HIF-1α and autophagy, and autophagy impairment is a common characteristic in a variety of diseases. Here, irinotecan (50 mg/kg) was employed on mice, and HepG2 and L-02 cells were cultured with irinotecan (10, 20 and 40 μM). In vivo study, we found that irinotecan treatment increased final liver index, serum aminotransferase level and hepatic lipid accumulation. Impaired autophagic flux and activation of HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway were also demonstrated in the liver of irinotecan-treated mice. Moreover, irinotecan treatment significantly deteriorated hepatic oxidative stress, evidenced by increased MDA and ROS contents, as well as decreased GSH-Px, SOD and CAT contents. Interestingly, protein levels of NLRP3, cleaved-caspase 1 and IL-1β were enhanced in the liver of mice injected with irinotecan. In vitro study, irinotecan-treated HepG2 and L-02 cells also showed impaired autophagic flux, while HIF-1α inhibition efficaciously removed the accumulated autophagosomes induced by irinotecan. Additionally, irinotecan treatment aggravated lipid accumulation in HepG2 and L-02 cells, and HIF-1α inhibition reversed the effect of irinotecan. Furthermore, HIF-1α inhibition weakened irinotecan-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in HepG2 cells. Taken together, our results suggest that irinotecan induces liver injury by orchestrating autophagy via HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway, and HIF-1α inhibition could alleviate irinotecan-induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 and L-02 cells, which will provide a new clue and direction for the prevention of side effects of clinical chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment and metabolic activity in gliomas are the important biomarkers to evaluate the progression of gliomas. Many evidences have suggested that the targeting of metabolic activity and tumor microenvironment simultaneously can be more effective to take the tumor therapy. Therefore, the noninvasive, accurate assessment of tumor microenvironment and metabolic activity is quite important in clinical practice. Multiphoton microscopy (MPM), based on two-photon-excited fluorescence and second harmonic generation was performed on unstained glioma tissues. With our combined image analysis approaches, our research findings indicate that MPM is able to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the microenvironment characteristics in gliomas, such as collage deposition in extracellular matrix, lymphocyte infiltration and tumor angiogenesis, etc. Meanwhile, the metabolic activity can also be quantitatively evaluated by optical redox ratio, NADH and FAD intensity. With the microendoscope and fiberscope are portable, MPM technique can be used to perform in-vivo studies and clinical examinations in gliomas.

Abstract
Currently, the targeted treatment of tumor based on the tumor microenvironment is newly developed. Blood vessels are the key parts in the tumor microenvironment, which is taken as a new visible target for tumor therapy. Multiphoton microscopy (MPM), based on the second harmonic generation and two-photon excited fluorescence, is available to make the label-free analysis on the blood vessels in human gliomas. MPM can reveal the vascular morphological characteristics in gliomas, including vascular malformation, intense vascular proliferation, perivascular collagen deposition, perivascular lymphocytes aggregation and microvascular proliferation. In addition, the image analysis algorithms were developed to automatically calculate the perivascular collagen content, vascular cavity area, lumen area, wall area and vessel number. Thus, the vascular morphology, the perivascular collagen deposition and intense vascular proliferation degree can be further quantitatively characterized. Compared with the pathological analysis, the combination of MPM and image analysis has potential advantages in making a quantitative and qualitative analyzing on vascular morphology in glioma microenvironment. As micro-endoscope and two-photon fiberscope are technologically improved, this combined method will be a useful imaging way to make the real-time research on the targeting tumor microenvironment in gliomas.

Abstract
In the case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples, classification of differentiation is crucial for determining prognosis and treatment strategy decisions. However, a label-free and automated classification system for HCC grading has not been yet developed. Hence, in this study, we demonstrate the fusion of multiphoton microscopy and a deep-learning algorithm for classifying HCC differentiation to produce an innovative computer-aided diagnostic method. Convolutional neural networks based on the VGG-16 framework were trained using 217 combined two-photon excitation fluorescence and second-harmonic generation images; the resulting classification accuracy of the HCC differentiation grade was over 90%. Our results suggest that a combination of multiphoton microscopy and deep learning can realize label-free, automated methods for various tissues, diseases and other related classification problems.

Abstract
Modified nucleoside in urine samples is one of the most common biomarkers for cancer screening. Therefore, we developed a novel detection method for modified nucleoside detection in human urine. In this work, the modified nucleoside from real cancer patient's urine samples was first separated and purified using the affinity chromatography (AC) technology relying on its specific adsorption capacity. Then, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology with the capability of single molecular detection was used to sensitively characterize the biomolecular features of modified nucleoside. A total of 141 high-quality SERS spectra of urinary modified nucleoside can be obtained from 50 gastric cancer patients and 43 breast cancer patients, as well as 48 healthy volunteers. Using principal component analysis combined with linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA), the diagnostic sensitivities for identifying gastric cancer vs normal, breast cancer vs normal, gastric cancer vs breast cancer were 84.0%, 76.7% and 82.0%, respectively, and the corresponding diagnostic specificities for each combination were 95.8%, 87.5% and 90.7%, respectively. These results show that this novel method based on urinary modified nucleoside detection combining AC and SERS technologies holds promising potential for developing a specific, non-invasive and label-free tool for cancer screening.

Abstract
Liquid droplet and quasi-droplet whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities have been widely studied recently for the enhanced spatial overlap between the liquid and WGM field, especially in sensing applications. However, the fragile cavity structure and the evaporation of liquid limit its practical applications. Here, stable, packaged, quasi-droplet and droplet microcavities are proposed and fabricated for thermal sensing with high sensitivity. The sensitivity and electromagnetic field intensity distribution are analyzed by Mie theory, and a quantified definition of the quasi-droplet is presented for the first time to the best of our knowledge. By doping dye material directly into the liquid, lasing packaged droplet and quasi-droplet microcavity sensors with a high thermal sensitivity of up to 205.3 pm/°C are experimentally demonstrated. The high sensitivity, facile fabrication, and mechanically robust properties of the optofluidic, packaged droplet microresonator make it a promising candidate for future integrated photonic devices.
