Abstract
The concentration of immunoglobulin (Ig) E is the lowest among serum Igs, but it can induces type I hypersensitivity and plays an important role in anti-parasitic infection. The present study aimed to explore the residence characteristics of IgE+ cells in the sheep small intestine and the impact of Moniezia benedeni infection on them. The recombinant plasmids pET-28a-IgE were constructed and induced and expressed in Escherichia coli. BL21 (DE3). The rabbit anti-sheep IgE polyclonal antibody was prepared using the obtained recombinant protein as antigen. Finally, the levels of IgE+ cells in the small intestine of healthy (Control group) and naturally M. benedeni-infected (Infected group) sheep were detected analyzed. The results showed that the rabbit anti-sheep IgE polyclonal antibody with good immunogenicity (titer = 1: 128000) could specifically bind to the heavy chain of natural sheep IgE. In the Control group, the IgE+ cells were mainly distributed in lamina propria of the small intestine, and the densities were significantly decreased from duodenum to ileum (P<0.05), with respective values of (4.28 cells / 104 μm2, 1.80 cells / 104 μm2, and 1.44 cells / 104 μm2 in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. In the Infected group, IgE+ cells density were 6.26 cells / 104 μm2, 3.01 cells / 104 μm2, and 2.09 cells / 104 μm2 in duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively, which were significantly higher in all segments compared to the Control group (P<0.05), increasing by 46.26%, 67.22% and 45.14%, respectively. In addition, compared with the Control group, the IgE protein levels were significantly increased in all intestinal segments of the Infected group (P<0.01), however, there was no significant differences among the different intestinal segments within the same group (P>0.05). The results demonstrated that M. benedeni infection could significantly increase the content of IgE and the distribution density of its secreting cells in sheep small intestine. The intestinal mucosal immune system of sheep presented obvious specificity against M. benedeni infection. This lays a good foundation for further exploring molecular mechanisms of the intestinal mucosal immune system monitoring and responding to M. benedeni infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Yujin powder (YJP) is a classic prescription for treating dampness-heat diarrhea (DHD) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but the main functional active ingredients and the exact mechanisms have not been systematically studied. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to preliminarily explore the potential mechanisms of YJP for treating DHD by integrating UPLC-MS/MS and network pharmacology methods. METHODS Ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) technology was used to determine the ingredients of YJP. And then, the targets of these components were predicted and screened from TCMSP, SwissTargetPrediction databases. The disease targets related to DHD were obtained by using the databases of GeneCards, OMIM, DisGeNET, TTD, and DrugBank. The protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) of YJP-DHD were constructed using the STRING database and Origin 2022 software to identify the cross-targets by screening the core-acting targets and a network diagram by Cytoscape 3.8.2 software was also constructed. Metascape database was used for performing GO and KEGG enrichment anlysis on the core genes. Finally, molecular docking was used to verify the results with AutoDock 4.2.6, AutoDock Tools 1.5.6, PyMOL 2.4.0, and Open Babel 2.3.2 software. RESULTS 597 components in YJP were detected, and 153 active components were obtained through database screening, among them the key active ingredients include coptisine, berberine, baicalein, etc. There were 362 targets treating DHD, among them the core targets included TNF, IL-6, ALB, etc. The enriched KEGG pathways mainly involve PI3K-Akt, TNF, MAPK, etc. Molecular docking results showed that coptisine, berberine, baicalein, etc., had a strong affinity with TNF, IL-6, and MAPK14. Therefore, TNF, IL-6, MAPK14, ALB, etc., are the key targets of the active ingredients of YJP coptisine, baicalein, and berberine, etc. They have the potential to regulate PI3K-Akt, MAPK, and TNF signalling pathways. The component-target-disease network diagram revealed that YJP treated DHD through the effects of anti-inflammation, anti-diarrhea, immunoregulation, and improving intestinal mucosal injury. CONCLUSION It is demonstrated that YJP treats DHD mainly through the main active ingredients coptisine, berberine, baicalein, etc. comprehensively exerting the effects of anti-inflammation, anti-diarrhea, immunoregulation, and improving intestinal mucosal injury, which will provide evidence for further in-depth studying the mechanism of YJP treating DHD.

Abstract
There are rich and diverse fungal communities in rainfall-cellar sediments. Fungi play a key role in the rainfall-cellar ecosystem as a bridge and link for material exchange between the rainfall-cellar ecosystem and the sediments. The changes in fungal community structure are usually closely related to the changes in environmental factors. The 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology was used to study the diversity and difference of fungal communities in the cellar sediments under two different catchment environments. The results revealed that the cellar sediments under the concrete catchment environment had higher diversity and richness of fungal communities than those under the loess land catchment environment. The dominant bacteria of the fungal communities under the two catchment environments were the same, namely Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota, which constituted more than 90% of the abundance of the bacteria; however, the former had better homogeneity and stability. The indicator species based on LEfSe analysis demonstrated that Basidiobolales had the largest contribution to the diversity in the catchment environment of the loess land, and Mycosphaerella had the smallest contribution; Saccharomycetales contributed the most to the diversity in the concrete concentration environment, whereas Periconia contributed the least. The results of the co-occurrence network of the microbial community and environmental factors demonstrated that the positive relationship between fungi and environmental factors was stronger than the negative relationship. The research results have enhanced the understanding of the diversity of fungal communities in the cellar sediments and provided a reference for ensuring the drinking safety of rainwater harvesting cellar water for humans and livestock and improving the quality of cellar water.

Abstract
Background Metabolic reprogramming is a key marker in the occurrence and development of tumors. This process generates more reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting the development of oxidative stress. To prevent ROS from harming tumor cells, tumor cells can increase the production of reducing agents to counteract excessive ROS. NMRAL2P has been shown to promote the production of reductive mRNA and plays an important role in the process of oxidative stress. Methods In this study, the clinical data and RNA sequencing of head and neck tumors were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas data set. The long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) related to oxidative stress were then identified using differential and correlation analyses. The differential expression and prognosis of the identified lncRNA were then verified using samples from the library of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. Only NMRAL2P was substantially expressed in cancer tissues and predicted a poor prognosis. The tumor-promoting impact of NMRAL2P was then confirmed using in vitro functional assays. The data set was then split into high- and low-expression subgroups based on the median gene expression of NMRAL2P to obtain the mRNA that had a large difference between the two groups, and examine the mechanism of NMRAL2P on GPX2 using quantitative real-time PCR, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assay, and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Mass spectrometry was used to identify NMRAL2P-binding proteins and western blotting was used to investigate probable mechanisms. Results The lncRNA NMRAL2P is associated with oxidative stress in head and neck tumors. In vitro functional assays showed that the gene has a cancer-promoting effect, increasing lactic acid and superoxide dismutase production, and reducing the production of ROS and malondialdehyde. NMRAL2P promotes the transcription of GPX2 by binding to transcription factor Nrf2. The gene also inhibits the degradation of ENO1, a crucial enzyme in glycolysis, by binding to protein ENO1. Conclusions This study shows that NMRAL2P can promote glycolysis and reduce the harm to tumor cells caused by ROS. The gene can also be used as a possible target for the treatment of head and neck tumors.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize and analyse of literature on the susceptibility genes of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) , and the key genes were screened and obtained by bioinformatics method, so as to provide reference for the prevention research of NIHL. Methods: In September 2021, Based on CNKI, NCBI Pubmed database and Web of Science database, this paper conducted bibliometric analysis and bioinformatics analysis on the genetic literature related to the susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss from 1999 to 2020. Endnote X9 software and the WPS office software were used for bibliometric analysis, and online software STRING and Cytoscape software were used for bioinformatics analysis. Results: A total of 131 literatures were included in the study, involving 40 genes in total. Bibliometric analysis shows that 131 papers which included 36 Chinese articles and 95 English articles were published in 63 biomedical journals; the highest number of published articles was 19 in 2020. Bioinformatics analysis suggests that GAPDH、SOD2、SOD1、CAT、CASP3、IL6 and other genes play a key role in the interaction network. The involved pathways mainly include MAP2K and MAPK activations, PTEN regulation, P53-depardent G1 DNA damage response, signaoling by BRAF and RAF fusions and soon. Conclusion: The study of noise induced hearing loss involves multi gene biological information, and bioinformatics analysis is helpful to predict the occurrence and development of noise induced hearing loss.

Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is an aggressive and lethal malignant neoplasm with extremely poor prognoses. Accumulating evidence has indicated that preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is correlated with several kinds of cancers. However, there is little direct evidence to substantiate the biological function of PRAME in LSCC. The purpose of the current study is to explore the oncogenic role of PRAME in LSCC. PRAME expression was analyzed in 57 pairs of LSCC tumor tissue samples through quantitative real-time PCR, and the correlation between PRAME and clinicopathological features was analyzed. The result indicated that PRAME was overexpressed in the LSCC patients and correlated with the TNM staging and lymphatic metastasis. The biological functions and molecular mechanism of PRAME in LSCC progression were investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays. Functional studies confirmed that PRAME facilitated the proliferation, invasion, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of LSCC cells, and PRAME also promoted tumor growth in vivo. HDAC5 was identified as an upstream regulator that can affect the expression of PRAME. Moreover, PRAME played the role at least partially by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways. The above findings elucidate that PRAME may be a valuable oncogene target, contributing to the diagnosis and therapy of LSCC.

Abstract
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN in Italy is an experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. Its main goal is to investigate this decay in ^{130}Te, but its ton-scale mass and low background make CUORE sensitive to other rare processes as well. In this Letter, we present our first results on the search for 0νββ decay of ^{128}Te, the Te isotope with the second highest natural isotopic abundance. We find no evidence for this decay, and using a Bayesian analysis we set a lower limit on the ^{128}Te 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}>3.6×10^{24} yr (90% CI). This represents the most stringent limit on the half-life of this isotope, improving by over a factor of 30 the previous direct search results, and exceeding those from geochemical experiments for the first time.

Abstract
Background Age-related hearing loss is an increasing sensorineural hearing loss. But the pathogenesis of ARHL has not been clarified. Herein, we studied the role and significance of PIN1 in regulating autophagy activity in senescence HEI-OC1cells and HCs. Methods and Results C57BL/6 mice and HEI-OC1 cells were contained in our research. Transfection of plasmids and juglone were used to upregulate or inhibit the PIN 1 expression. Immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect the expression of PIN1, LC3, p62, p21 and p16 protein levels in the hair cells of C57BL/6 mice cochleae and HEI-OC1 cells. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining was used to investigate the senescent level.The results of this study showed that the level of autophagy increased in the senescent auditory hair cells. When inhibited the autophagy level with 3-MA, the senescent HEI-OC1 cells were alleviated. The autophagy activity in senescent HEI-OC1 cells also could be reduced by overexpressing PIN1 protein. On the contrary, inhibiting PIN1 could increase the autophagy level of senescent cells and cochlear hair cells. Conclusion PIN1 might regulate autophagy activity to induce the senescent of HEI-OC1cells and HCs, which will provide a theoretical support for the prevention and treatment of age-related hearing loss.

Abstract
In Arabidopsis thaliana, ALDH2C4 encodes coniferaldehyde dehydrogenase, which oxidizes coniferaldehyde to ferulic acid. Drought stress is one of the important abiotic stresses affecting plant growth. However, the role of ferulic acid in drought resistance is unknown. To investigate the contribution of ferulic acid to cuticle composition and drought resistance, we used two Arabidopsis aldh2c4 mutant lines. Compared with wild-type (WT) leaves, ferulic acid contents were significantly lower (by more than 50 %) in mutants. The mutants also had lower amounts of cutin and wax, primarily due to reductions in C18:2 dioic acid and alkanes, respectively. Furthermore, the leaves of the mutant plants exhibited greater rates of water loss and released chlorophyll faster than WT leaves when immersed in 80 % ethanol, indicating a defective cuticle barrier. The growth of aldh2c4 mutants was severely inhibited, and their leaves showed a higher degree of wilting relative to the WT plants under drought conditions. In aldh2c4 complementation lines, the growth inhibition of the mutant plants under drought stress was alleviated. Taken together, our results demonstrate that ferulic acid plays an important role in the composition and structural properties of the cuticle and that a ferulic acid deficiency in the cutin leads to reduced drought tolerance.

Abstract
The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 (B.1.1.529) variant has raised questions regarding resistance to neutralizing antibodies elicited by natural infection or immunization. We examined the neutralization activity of sera collected from previously SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals and SARS-CoV-2 naive individuals who received BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac to BA.1 and the earlier variants Alpha, Beta, and Delta. Both sera from convalescent patients over three months after infection and two-dose BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac vaccine recipients barely inhibited BA.1, less effectively neutralized Beta and Delta, and moderately neutralized Alpha. However, administering a single dose of BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac in previously infected individuals or a third dose booster vaccination of BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac in previously vaccinated individuals enhances neutralizing activity against BA.1 and other variants, albeit with a lower antibody titer for BA.1. Our data suggest that a booster vaccination is important to broaden neutralizing antibody responses against the variants. Limited duration of antibody response against BA.1 in convalescent individuals Infection before BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac vaccination boosts neutralization Two doses of BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac elicit limited neutralizing activity against VOCs Neutralization breadth for BA.1 is boosted by a third dose of BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac

Abstract
Halophytes have evolved specialized strategies to cope with high salinity. The extreme halophyte sea lavender (Limonium bicolor) lacks trichomes but possesses salt glands on its epidermis that can excrete harmful ions, such as sodium, to avoid salt damage. Here, we report a high-quality, 2.92-Gb, chromosome-scale L. bicolor genome assembly based on a combination of Illumina short reads, single-molecule, real-time long reads, chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data, and Bionano genome maps, greatly enriching the genomic information on recretohalophytes with multicellular salt glands. Although the L. bicolor genome contains genes that show similarity to trichome fate genes from Arabidopsis thaliana, it lacks homologs of the decision fate genes GLABRA3, ENHANCER OF GLABRA3, GLABRA2, TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA2, and SIAMESE, providing a molecular explanation for the absence of trichomes in this species. We identified key genes (LbHLH and LbTTG1) controlling salt gland development among classical trichome homologous genes and confirmed their roles by showing that their mutations markedly disrupted salt gland initiation, salt secretion, and salt tolerance, thus offering genetic support for the long-standing hypothesis that salt glands and trichomes may share a common origin. In addition, a whole-genome duplication event occurred in the L. bicolor genome after its divergence from Tartary buckwheat and may have contributed to its adaptation to high salinity. The L. bicolor genome resource and genetic evidence reported in this study provide profound insights into plant salt tolerance mechanisms that may facilitate the engineering of salt-tolerant crops.

Abstract
The electroweak interaction in the standard model is described by a pure vector-axial-vector structure, though any Lorentz-invariant component could contribute. In this Letter, we present the most precise measurement of tensor currents in the low-energy regime by examining the β-ν[over ¯] correlation of trapped ^{8}Li ions with the Beta-decay Paul Trap. We find a_{βν}=-0.3325±0.0013_{stat}±0.0019_{syst} at 1σ for the case of coupling to right-handed neutrinos (C_{T}=-C_{T}^{'}), which is consistent with the standard model prediction.

Abstract
The Mn-based superconductor is rare owing to the strong magnetic pair-breaking effect. Here we report on the discovery of pressure-induced superconductivity in KMn_{6}Bi_{5}, which becomes the first ternary Mn-based superconductor. At ambient pressure, the quasi-one-dimensional KMn_{6}Bi_{5} is an antiferromagnetic metal with T_{N}≈75 K. By measuring resistance and ac magnetic susceptibility under hydrostatic pressures up to 14.2 GPa in a cubic anvil cell apparatus, we find that its antiferromagnetic transition can be suppressed completely at a critical pressure of P_{c}≈13 GPa, around which bulk superconductivity emerges and displays a superconducting dome with the maximal T_{c}^{onset}=9.3 K achieved at about 14 GPa. The close proximity of superconductivity to a magnetic instability in the temperature-pressure phase diagram of KMn_{6}Bi_{5} and an unusually large μ_{0}H_{c2}(0) exceeding the Pauli paramagnetic limit suggests an unconventional magnetism-mediated paring mechanism. In contrast to the binary MnP, the flexibility of the crystal structure and chemical compositions in the ternary AMn_{6}Bi_{5} (A=alkali metal) can open a new avenue for finding more Mn-based superconductors.

Abstract
Secreted immunoglobulin A (SIgA), IgG, and IgM play a crucial role in forming the intestinal mucosal immune barrier, and parasites could disturb the host's immune response by releasing various immunomodulatory molecules. Moniezia benedeni is an important pathogen parasitizing in the sheep small intestine. It is aimed to explore the residence characteristics of IgA+, IgG+, and IgM+ cells in the sheep small intestine, and the influence of Moniezia benedeni infection on them. Control group (n = 6) and infected group (n = 6) were selected, respectively, and the three subtype cells residing in the small intestine were systematically observed and analyzed. The results showed that in the Control group, the three types of positive cells were all distributed diffusely, and the total densities in jejunum, duodenum and ileum was gradually declined in turn. Notably, the change trend of IgA+ and IgG+ cells densities were both congruent with the total densities, and the differences among them were significant, respectively (P < 0.05); the IgM+ cells density was the highest in duodenum, followed by jejunum and ileum, there was no significant difference between duodenum and jejunum (P > 0.05), but both significantly higher than in ileum (P < 0.05). In the Infected group, their total densities in duodenum, jejunum and ileum were gradually declined in turn. Notably, the IgA+ and IgM+ cells densities change trend was the same as the total densities, and the differences among them were significant, respectively (P < 0.05). The IgG+ cells density in duodenum was the highest, followed by ileum and jejunum and there was significantly difference among them (P < 0.05). The comparison results between Control and Infected groups showed that from the duodenum, jejunum to ileum, IgA+, IgG+, and IgM+ cells were all reduced significantly, respectively. The results suggest that the three types of positive cells were resided heterogeneously in the small intestinal mucosa, that is, significant region-specificity; Moniezia benedeni infection could not change their diffuse distribution characteristics, but strikingly, reduce their resident densities, and the forming mucosal immune barrier were significantly inhibited. It provided powerful evidence for studying on the molecular mechanism of Moniezia benedeni evasion from immune surveillance by strongly inhibiting the host's mucosal immune barrier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuromedin U (NMU) plays an important role in activating the group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and initiating the host's anti-parasitic immune responses. It is aimed to explore the distribution characteristics of NMU in the sheep small intestine and the influence of Moniezia benedeni infection on them. In the present study, the pET-28a-NMU recombinant plasmids were constructed, and Escherichia coli. BL21 (DE3) were induced to express the recombinant protein. And then, the rabbit anti-sheep NMU polyclonal antibody was prepared and immunofluorescence staining was performed with it. The expression levels of NMU in the intestine of normal and Moniezia benedeni-infected sheep were detected by ELISA. RESULTS The results showed that the molecular weight of the obtained NMU recombinant protein was consistent with the expected molecular (13 kDa) and it was expressed in the form of inclusion body. The titer and specificity of obtained rabbit anti-sheep NMU polyclonal antibody were good. The results of immunofluorescence analysis showed that the nerve fibers which specifically expressed NMU mainly extended from the ganglion in the submucosal to lamina propria (LP) in the sheep small intestine, and the expression level was relatively high; especially on the nerve fibers of LP around the intestinal glands. The expression levels were gradually increased from the duodenum to the ileum, and the levels in the jejunum and ileum were significantly higher than that in the duodenum (P < 0.05). In addition, scattered NMU positive cells were distributed in the epithelium of the jejunal crypts. Moniezia benedeni infection increased the expression of NMU in each intestinal segment, especially in the jejunum and ileum there were significant increase (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS It was suggested that Moniezia benedeni infection could be detected by the high expression of NMU in sheep enteric nervous, and which laid the foundation for further studies on whether NMU exerts anti-parasitic immunity by activating ILC2s. In addition, NMU was expressed in some intestinal gland epitheliums, which also provided a basis for studying its roles in regulation of the immune homeostasis. The present study laid the foundation for further revealing the molecular mechanism of sheep's neural-immune interaction network perceiving the colacobiosis of parasites.

Abstract
We present a kilowatt-level quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) cryogenically cooled 946-nm slab laser oscillator for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The laser system is based on a double-face-pumped large-size single-slab Nd:YAG design, delivering a record-high average power of 1.06 kW without additional amplification. This laser oscillator operates at repetition rate of 400 Hz with a pulse duration of 175 µs, resulting in a single pulse energy of 2.65 J. To the best of our knowledge, these results represent the highest output power and pulse energy for any all-solid-state 946-nm laser ever reported to date. Our scheme paves a new path for the development of the compact high-power solid-state 946-nm laser.

Abstract
Salt stress is a major limiting factor for plant growth and crop yield. High salinity causes osmotic stress followed by ionic stress, both of which disturb plant growth and metabolism. Understanding how plants perceive salt stress will help efforts to improve salt tolerance and ameliorate the effect of salt stress on crop growth. Various sensors and receptors in plants recognize osmotic and ionic stresses and initiate signal transduction and adaptation responses. In the past decade, much progress has been made in identifying the sensors involved in salt stress. Here, we review current knowledge of osmotic sensors and Na+ sensors and their signal transduction pathways, focusing on plant roots under salt stress. Based on bioinformatic analyses, we also discuss possible structures and mechanisms of the candidate sensors. With the rapid decline of arable land, studies on salt-stress sensors and receptors in plants are critical for the future of sustainable agriculture in saline soils. These studies also broadly inform our overall understanding of stress signaling in plants.

Abstract
This study aims to elucidate the potential genes of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, responsible for the progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Besides, we ascertained the changes in common malignant behaviors in vitro by knocking down MMP1. TCGA, GEO, Oncomine, and Microarray data were conducted to analyze the expression levels of MMPs and to find tissue-specific genes in LSCC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were established in the construction of a prognostic model based on expression profiles and clinical information of LSCC in TCGA. We then comprehensively analyzed survival, co-expression network, and immune infiltration based on a prognostic model by Kaplan-Meier analysis, WGCNA, and CIBERSORT. Thereafter, qRT-PCR, proliferation, Transwell, and wound healing assays were used to assess the accuracy of the bioinformatics data. A total of seven genes in the MMP family were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by integrating three public databases and microarray data. Additionally, multivariate Cox regression was used to establish a four-gene (MMP1/3/8/10) prognostic model, which exhibited a better predictive accuracy than the TNM (tumors/nodes/metastases) based model. The prognostic model was related to plasma cells, CD8+ T cells, follicular helper T cells, resting NK cells, and M0 macrophages infiltration. The expression of MMP1, MMP3, and MMP10 was the highest in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) compared to other cancer in the Oncomine and GEPIA dataset. Further, MMP1 demonstrated significant upregulation in 40 paired LSCC tissues. Eventually, MMP1 downregulation inhibited cell viability, colony formation, and cell migration in TU686 and FaDu cells. Our findings suggest that the four-gene signature might be associated with the prognosis. Further, we revealed that MMP1 is a pivotal biomarker for the biotherapy and prognostic evaluation of patients with LSCC.

Abstract
We measured two-neutrino double beta decay of ^{130}Te using an exposure of 300.7 kg yr accumulated with the CUORE detector. Using a Bayesian analysis to fit simulated spectra to experimental data, it was possible to disentangle all the major background sources and precisely measure the two-neutrino contribution. The half-life is in agreement with past measurements with a strongly reduced uncertainty: T_{1/2}^{2ν}=7.71_{-0.06}^{+0.08}(stat)_{-0.15}^{+0.12}(syst)×10^{20} yr. This measurement is the most precise determination of the ^{130}Te 2νββ decay half-life to date.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical course and targeted therapy of pyogenic sterile arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndrome. Methods: The clinical history of a 6-year-old boy with PAPA syndrome, who was admitted to Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital in September 2017, was reviewed. His genetic diagnosis was confirmed by whole exome sequencing. The response to targeted therapy was evaluated by comparing the inflammatory markers (erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C reactive protein (CRP) and serum cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)) before and after biological agents treatment. For literature review, "PAPA syndrome" and"PSTPIP1 gene"were used as keywords to retrieve papers published from January 1997 to December 2019 from Pubmed, Wanfang and CNKI database. Results: The patient was a 6-year-old boy, admitted to the hospital due to recurrent joint swelling and pain for more than 4 years. Before treatment, the CRP (256 mg/L), ESR (105 mm/1 h) and cytokines including serum TNF-α (7.43 ng/L), IL-1 (<5 ng/L), IL-6 (301 ng/L) were significantly elevated. Culture of the joint effusion was negative, but the IL-6 level was above 1 000 ng/L. MRI showed osteomyelitis at the lower end of the right femur. Gene detection found a heterozygous variation of PSTPIP1 gene (c.748G>A, p.E250K). Arthralgia once alleviated after the initiation of tocilizumab and infliximab, but recurred after 1 year of treatment. Thereafter, the anti-IL-1 receptor antagonist (Anakinra) was commenced, followed by a significant improvement of the arthralgia, and a complete remission during the follow-up. Besides, the level of CRP, ESR, serum TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 were all decreased to normal on the last followed up in December 2019. Literature review found 29 articles and 87 patients in total. The initial symptoms included those of arthritis (n=58), pyoderma gangrenosum (n=33), and acne (n=24). Among all the cases, 13 genotypes were confirmed, and 47 variations involved amino acid p.E250. Steroid and/or biological agents were used in most patients. Conclusions: PAPA syndrome should be suspected in children with recurrent pyogenic sterile arthritis, and an early diagnosis could be achieved by genetic test. Targeted treatment with biological agent may control the symptoms effectively. Biological agents can control symptoms of this disorder effectively.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of silencing hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) expression on the biological characteristics of HCT116 colon cancer cells. Methods: Cellular model of c-Met transient transfection was established by using small interfering RNA (siRNA), the expression of c-Met in colon cancer cells was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot. The apoptosis assay, cell invasion assay, cell migration and other experiments were conducted to observe the effects of silencing c-Met on the biological characteristics of colon cancer cells. Results: RT-qPCR results showed that the relative expression levels of c-Met mRNA in siRNA-Met group, blank control group and siRNA negative control (siRNA-NC) group were 0.32±0.26, 1.01±0.03 and 1.05±0.23, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the expression level of c-Met protein in the siRNA-Met group was 0.24±0.03, significantly lower than 1.23±0.06 in the blank control group and 1.18±0.11 in the siRNA-NC group (P<0.05). The cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) results showed that the 72-hour absorbance (A) values of the siRNA-Met group, blank control group and the siRNA-NC group were 1.13±0.05, 1.48±0.08 and 1.53±0.07, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Cell cycle results showed that the proportion of cells in G(2)/M phase was (14.65±1.41)% in siRNA-Met group , (5.07±0.70)% in blank control group and (5.63±0.71)% in siRNA-NC group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression levels of cell cycle regulatory proteins Cdc25c and cyclin B1 in siRNA-Met group were significantly decreased. The apoptotic rate in siRNA-Met group was (5.85±0.35)%, significantly higher than (1.00±0.17)% in blank control group and (0.91±1.14)% in siRNA-NC group (P<0.05). The expression level of apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 in the siRNA-Met group was significantly decreased while Bcl-2 associated X protein (BAX) expression level was significantly increased. The cell scratching result showed that the cell migration abilities of the siRNA-Met group, blank control group and the siRNA-NC group were (51.33±8.62)%, (100.00±3.72)% and (102.33±6.43)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The number of cell penetrating into the basement membrane of the siRNA-Met group, blank control group and the siRNA-NC group were 47.50±10.60, 100.00±5.33 and 102.50±10.61, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The expressions of invasion related proteins including MMP-2 and MMP-9 in siRNA-Met group were decreased significantly. Conclusions: c-Met plays an important role in maintaining the biological characteristics of colon cancer cells. Inhibition of c-Met may have important values in the treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
We report new results from the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ^{130} Te with the CUORE detector. This search benefits from a fourfold increase in exposure, lower trigger thresholds, and analysis improvements relative to our previous results. We observe a background of (1.38±0.07)×10^{-2} counts/(keV kg yr)) in the 0νββ decay region of interest and, with a total exposure of 372.5 kg yr, we attain a median exclusion sensitivity of 1.7×10^{25} yr. We find no evidence for 0νββ decay and set a 90% credibility interval Bayesian lower limit of 3.2×10^{25} yr on the ^{130} Te half-life for this process. In the hypothesis that 0νββ decay is mediated by light Majorana neutrinos, this results in an upper limit on the effective Majorana mass of 75-350 meV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used.

Abstract
A void-free bonding technique was demonstrated for a large slab Nd: YAG crystal with a bonding surface dimension of ∼160mm×70mm. By using the novel fluxless oxide layer removal technology, the indium-oxide barrier problem was resolved. With the help of electrochemical-polished indium solder and a plasma-cleaned heat sink, the solderability of the indium was enhanced; in particular, the contact angle of the solder was improved from 51° to 31°. With the largest-bonding-size slab, a single-slab laser created a maximum output power of 7.3 kW under an absorbed pump power of 12.8 kW, corresponding to an optical to optical efficiency of 57% and a slope conversion of 67.8%. By detecting the wavefront of the interferometer before and after bonding, the RMS of wavefront was 0.192λ and 0.434λ (λ=633nm), respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest void-free bonding size for a laser slab and the highest output power achieved from a single-slab crystal laser oscillator.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to explore the relative expression level of LINC00152 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC) and its clinical significance. Method:The relative expression levels of LINC00152 in LSCC cell lines and 36 paired LSCC specimens were measured by qRT-PCR method. And the correlations between the expression level of LINC00152 and the clinical features derived from LSCC patients were analyzed and compared through the independent sample t-test. Result:The relative expression level of LINC00152 was over-expressed in LSCC cell lines and cancerous tissues than that in paired adjacent normal tissues, and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.006). Even the associations between LINC00152 expression level and clinicopathological features(P=0.044 for clinical stage, P=0.032 for pathological differentiation degree) were significantly. Conclusion:LINC00152 is highly expressed in LSCC and it may become a new tumor marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of LSCC.

Abstract
Thellungiella salsuginea is highly tolerant to abiotic stress, while its a close relative Arabidopsis thaliana is sensitive to stress. This characteristic makes T. salsuginea an excellent model for uncovering the mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance. Abscisic acid (ABA) plays essential roles in plant abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. To test the changes in gene expression of T. salsuginea under ABA treatment, in this study, the transcriptomes of T. salsuginea roots and leaves were compared in response to exogenously application of ABA. The results showed that ABA treatment caused different expression of 2,200 and 3,305 genes in leaves and roots, respectively, compared with the untreated control. In particular, genes encoding transcription factors such as WRKY, MYB, NAC, GATA, ethylene-responsive factors (ERFs), heat stress transcription factors, basic helix-loop-helix, PLATZ and B3 domain-containing family members were enriched. In addition, 49 and 114 differentially expressed genes were identified as ABA-regulated genes, separately in leaves and roots, respectively, which were related to biotic and abiotic stresses. The expression levels of some genes were validated by qRT-PCR. Different responses of genes to ABA treatment were discovered in T. salsuginea and A. thaliana. This transcriptome analysis expands our understanding of the role of ABA in stress tolerance in T. salsuginea. Our study provides a wealth of information for improving stress tolerance in crop plants.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the characteristics and causes of pesticide poisoning in Xuzhou city, and provide basis for formulating prevention and control measures. Methods: The cases of pesticide poisoning in Xuzhou City from 2005 to 2017 were collected from "Pesticide Poisoning Report Card" . The data were analyzed and assessed by EpiData. The SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: During the thirteen years, there were a total of 8092 cases of pesticide poisoning, among which, the number of occupational pesticide poisoning was 1 408, accounting for 17.4% of the total number of cases, 14 patients died, the case fatality rate was 0.1%. There were 2, 992 cases of male poisoning, accounting for 36.97% of the total number of cases, and 5, 100 cases of female poisoning, accounting for 63.03%. There were 6684 non-productive pesticide poisonings, accounting for 82.6% of the total number of cases; 387 deaths occurred, and the mortality rate was 5.8%. Among non-productive poisonings, the incidence of oral pesticide poisoning was 84.3%, and the incidence of accidental poisoning by pesticides was 15.7%. Organophosphorus pesticides poisoning cases accounted for the majority of oral pesticide poisoning cases. The overall incidence of pesticide poisoning showed a downward trend. The age of non-productive pesticide poisoning cases was mainly 15-44 years old, and the number of cases of poisoning were 4 029 cases (60.28%) . With the increase of age, the mortality rate of poisoning cases was higher, especially for those over 60 years old who died of oral pesticide poisoning (40.1%) . The peak of pesticide poisoning began to increase in the second quarter and reached its peak in the third quarter. Conclusion: Although the cases of pesticide poisoning reported in Xuzhou City have been declining in recent years, the situation is still severe. The proportion of oral pesticide suicide accounts for a large proportion, and the mortality rate of elderly and female is relatively high, and the government should pay more attention. Workers should conduct safety education and psychological counseling to improve the knowledge and consciousness of safe use of pesticides.

Abstract
RbGd2Fe4As4O2 is a newly discovered self-hole-doped stoichiometric superconductor, which has a hybrid structure with separated double FeAs layers and exhibits a high superconducting transition temperature T c = 35 K. Here, we report the effect of pressure (P) on its T c and normal-state transport properties by measuring the temperature dependence of resistivity ρ(T) under various pressures up to 14 GPa with a cubic anvil cell apparatus. We found that the T c is suppressed monotonically to ca. 12.5 K upon increasing pressure to 14 GPa with a slope change of T c(P) at around 4 GPa. In addition, the low-temperature normal-state ρ(T), which is proportional to T n , also evolves gradually from a non-Fermi-liquid with n = 1 at ambient pressure to a Fermi liquid with n = 2 at P ⩾ 4 GPa. Accompanying with the non-Fermi-liquid to Fermi-liquid crossover, the quadratic temperature coefficient of resistivity, which reflects the effective mass of charge carriers, also experiences a significant reduction as commonly observed in the vicinity of a magnetic quantum critical point (QCP). Our results indicate that the stoichiometric RbGd2Fe4As4O2 at ambient pressure might be located near a QCP such that the enhanced critical spin fluctuations lead to high-T c superconductivity. The application of pressure should broaden the electronic bandwidth and weaken the spin fluctuations, and then restore a Fermi-liquid ground state with lower T c.

Abstract
The study aimed to identify the key bacteria and the potential interactions among these bacteria during the degradation of pollutants in cellar water, The main pollution characteristics were nitrogen, phosphorus and organic pollution. The structure and function of the bacterial community and its correlation with water quality variables were analyzed. A network of seven associations of microbial co-occurrence was set up, based on 16S rRNA and the model for inferring co-occurrence or interspecific interactions of microbial species. This showed that there were a large number of microorganisms with relatively specific ecological functions in the cellar water, and that many metabolic activities were involved. The ecological relationships of most bacteria in the association network were a form of mutualism. The most prominent genera included Lacibacter, Arthrobacter, Candidatus Protochlamydia, Methylocaldum, Sulfuritalea, Mycobacterium, Aquirestis, Rhodobacter, and, Methylotenera. The strong associations were observed between following bacteria:Sulfuritalea-Rhodobacter, Azospirillum-Rhodobacter, Methylocaldum-Rhodobacter, Arthrobacter-Rhodobacter, Rhodoplanes-Rhodobacter, Candidatus Protochlamydia-Rhodobacter, Methylotenera-Rhodobacter, Rhodobacter-Aquirestis, Mycobacterium-Rhodobacter, Planctomyces-Candidatus Solibacter, Planctomyces-Legionella, Hymenobacter-Adhaeribacter, and Luteolibacter-Crenothrix. It was considered that Rhodobacter, Methylocaldum, Methylotenera, Acinetobacter, Novosphingobium, Planctomyces, Hymenobacter, and Luteolibacter were the key bacteria involved in microbial degradation of cellar water pollutants, and Rhodobacter was the representative genus of the key bacteria. The authors concluded that the research results improved understanding of the microbial degradation mechanism of pollutants in cellar water.

Abstract
The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The array represents a significant advancement in this technology, and in this work we apply it for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ^{130}Te neutrinoless double-beta decay. Examining a total TeO_{2} exposure of 86.3 kg yr, characterized by an effective energy resolution of (7.7±0.5) keV FWHM and a background in the region of interest of (0.014±0.002) counts/(keV kg yr), we find no evidence for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Including systematic uncertainties, we place a lower limit on the decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.3×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.); the median statistical sensitivity of this search is 7.0×10^{24} yr. Combining this result with those of two earlier experiments, Cuoricino and CUORE-0, we find T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.5×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.), which is the most stringent limit to date on this decay. Interpreting this result as a limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass, we find m_{ββ}<(110-520) meV, where the range reflects the nuclear matrix element estimates employed.

Abstract
Monodisperse hydrophilic quantum dots (QDs) are promising labeling materials for biomedical applications. However, the controllable preparation of monodisperse hydrophilic QDs with amphiphilic polymers remains a challenge. Herein, the molecular structures of amphiphilic polymers assembled on different-sized QDs are investigated. Both the experimental results and the molecular dynamics (MD) calculation suggest that the grafting ratio of amphiphilic polymers assembled on QDs increases as the size of QDs increases. Thus, the controllable preparation of different-sized monodisperse hydrophilic QDs can be achieved by simply varying the grafting ratio of amphiphilic molecules and applied in the simultaneous labeling of three tumor biomarkers.

Abstract
K2Cr3As3 is a newly discovered quasi-1D superconductor with a T c = 6.1 K and an upper critical field µ 0 H c2(0) ≈ 40 T three times larger than the Pauli paramagnetic limit µ 0 H p that is suggestive of a spin-triplet Cooper pairing. In this paper, we have investigated the effects of hydrostatic pressure on its T c and µ 0 H c2 by measuring the ac magnetic susceptibility χ'(T) under magnetic fields at various hydrostatic pressures up to 7.5 GPa. The major findings include: (1) T c is suppressed gradually to below 2 K at 7.5 GPa; (2) the estimated µ 0 H c2(0) decreases dramatically to below µ 0 H p above ~2 GPa and becomes slight lower than the orbital limiting field [Formula: see text] estimated from the initial slope of upper critical field via [Formula: see text] = -0.73T cdH c2/[Formula: see text] in the clean limit; (3) the estimated Maki parameter α = √2[Formula: see text]/H p drops from 4 at ambient pressure to well below 1 at P > 2 GPa, suggesting the crossover from Pauli paramagnetic limiting to orbital limiting in the pair breaking process upon increasing pressure. These observations suggested that the application of hydrostatic pressure could drive K2Cr3As3 away from the ferromagnetic instability and lead to a breakdown of the spin-triplet pairing channel. We have also made a side-by-side comparison and discussed the distinct effects of chemical and physical pressures on the superconducting properties of K2Cr3As3.

Abstract
Tetragonal GeNFe3 has a second-order ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic transition at 76 K. Our integrated investigations indicate that the ground FM state is frustrated and the tetragonal symmetry is retained below 550 K based on the results of variable temperature X-ray diffraction. Critical behavior was analyzed by a systematic bulk magnetization study. The estimated critical exponents by three different methods (modified Arrott plot, the Kouvel-Fisher method, and critical isotherm analysis) conformably suggest that long-range magnetic coupling described by mean-field (MF) theoretical model is dominant in GeNFe3. The experimental M-T-H data collapse into two independent branches according to the scaling equations m = f±(h) with the renormalized magnetization m = ε-βM(H, ε) and the magnetic field h = Hε-(β+γ). The exchange distance is estimated as J(r) ∼ r-4.8 on the basis of the β and γ values, which lies between the long-range MF model (r-4.5) and the short-range 3D Heisenberg (3DH) model (r-5). Our results indicate that the competition between local magnetic moments of iron 3d electronic state and itinerant covalent interactions of N-Fe bonds should be responsible for critical behavior in this system.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of Δ40p53, an alternative spliced isoform of p53 lacking the N-ter minus, on the pro-apoptotic function of p53. Methods: The wild-type p53 was ectopically expressed in HCT116-p53(-/-) (endogenous Δ40p53 expression), HCT116-p53(+ /+) (wild-type p53) and H1299 (p53-null) cells by adenoviral delivery, while Δ40p53 plasmid were transfected into these cells to overexpress Δ40p53. The levels of Δ40p53 and p53 mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantitative PCR. The expression of related proteins was deter mined by Western blotting. The interaction of p53 and Δ40p53 was observed by co-immunoprecipitation assay. Calcein-AM/propidium iodide (PI) staining and flow cytometry were used to detect the apoptotic rate of tested cells in each group. Results: HCT116-p53(-/-) cells expressed endogenous Δ40p53 isoform. Neither transcription nor protein expression of wild-type p53 was interfered by the increased expression of Δ40p53. Full length p53 and Δ40p53 could bind to each other. Calcein-AM/PI staining showed that the apoptotic rates of H1299-Control, HCT116-p53(-/-) -Control, H1299+ p53, HCT116-p53(-/-)+ p53, H1299+ oxaliplatin (Oxa), HCT116-p53(-/-)+ Oxa, H1299+ p53+ Oxa and HCT116-p53(-/-)+ p53+ Oxa groups were (2.50±0.47)%, (2.40±0.32)%, (5.20±0.58)%, (4.10±0.18)%, (22.40±1.73)%, (19.30±1.11)%, (29.90±1.15)% and (39.30±2.26)%, respectively. It was statistically significant between H1299+ p53+ Oxa and HCT116-p53(-/-)+ p53+ Oxa groups (t=3.721, P=0.0205). Moreover, the apoptotic rates of H1299-Control, H1299+ Δ40p53, H1299+ p53, H1299+ p53+ Δ40p53, H1299+ Oxa, H1299+ Δ40p53+ Oxa, H1299+ p53+ Oxa and H1299+ p53+ Δ40p53+ Oxa groups were (2.60±0.35)%, (2.20±0.17)%, (4.80±0.49)%, (4.90±1.10)%, (20.30±1.10)%, (19.60±1.45)%, (27.90±1.39)%, (35.20±1.43)%, respectively. Furthermore, flow cytometry assay showed that the apoptotic rates of above cells were (2.70±0.32)%, (2.20±0.24)%, (4.60±0.48)%, (3.90±0.67)%, (19.30±1.11)%, (17.70±0.66)%, (28.30±2.76)% and (37.50±1.51)%, respectively. H1299+ p53+ Δ40p53+ Oxa cells showed higher cell apoptosis than H1299+ p53+ Oxa cells (t=2.930, P=0.042). Conclusion: Δ40p53 isoform can bind to full-length p53, and enhance its pro-apoptotic function in tumor cells.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on the survival rate of flaps by transplanting ADSCs into the experimental flaps pre-operatively. Methods: ADSCs were isolated from fresh human fat and cultured in vitro. Their morphological characters were observed, and flowcytometry and differentiation test and evaluation were conducted. A total of 40 BALB/c mice were divided into 5 groups randomly with each of 8 mice. 1 cm×4 cm random skin flap was designed on the mice back, ADSCs were injected in advance into subcutaneous tissues of 3 groups, the operation was performed on the 2nd, 5th and 7th day after the ADSCs injection, meanwhile skin flap operation was conducted in the immediate injection group and control group. Survival condition of the skin flaps was observed and von willebrand factor (vWF) staining was used to detect the number of micro-vessels in the skin flap. The enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to detect the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the skin flap. Results: The immediate injection group had a significantly higher survival rate of skin flap than the pre-injection groups and the control group [(51.5±6.3)% vs (38.3±6.7)%, (21.0±2.9)%, (30.0±3.9)% and (34.5±4.2)%, all P<0.01]. The immediate injection group had a significantly higher number of micro-vessels in the skin flap than the pre-injection groups and the control group [(21.0±4.3) vs (17.5±3.9), (9.9±2.6), (13.9±2.6) and (16.1±3.3)/LPF, all P<0.01]. The laboratory results of the concentration of VEGF in skin flap kept a consistent tendency with the flap survival rate. Conclusion: Pre-injection with the ADSCs into the skin flap prevents the survival of the flap to a certain extend and does not show the function of promoting tissue angiogenesis.

Abstract
Limonium bicolor, a typical recretohalophyte that lives in saline environments, excretes excessive salt to the environment through epidermal salt glands to avoid salt stress. The aim of this study was to screen for L. bicolor genes involved in salt secretion by high-throughput RNA sequencing. We established the experimental procedure of salt secretion using detached mature leaves, in which the optimal salt concentration was determined as 200 mM NaCl. The detached salt secretion system combined with Illumina deep sequencing were applied. In total, 27,311 genes were annotated using an L. bicolor database, and 2040 of these genes were differentially expressed, of which 744 were up-regulated and 1260 were down-regulated with the NaCl versus the control treatment. A gene ontology enrichment analysis indicated that genes related to ion transport, vesicles, reactive oxygen species scavenging, the abscisic acid-dependent signaling pathway and transcription factors were found to be highly expressed under NaCl treatment. We found that 102 of these genes were likely to be involved in salt secretion, which was confirmed using salt-secretion mutants. The present study identifies the candidate genes in the L. bicolor salt gland that are highly associated with salt secretion. In addition, a salt-transporting pathway is presented to explain how Na(+) is excreted by the salt gland in L. bicolor. These findings will shed light on the molecular mechanism of salt secretion from the salt glands of plants.

Abstract
We report the results of a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in a 9.8 kg yr exposure of (130)Te using a bolometric detector array, CUORE-0. The characteristic detector energy resolution and background level in the region of interest are 5.1±0.3 keV FWHM and 0.058±0.004(stat)±0.002(syst)counts/(keV kg yr), respectively. The median 90% C.L. lower-limit half-life sensitivity of the experiment is 2.9×10(24) yr and surpasses the sensitivity of previous searches. We find no evidence for neutrinoless double-beta decay of (130)Te and place a Bayesian lower bound on the decay half-life, T(1/2)(0ν)>2.7×10(24) yr at 90% C.L. Combining CUORE-0 data with the 19.75 kg yr exposure of (130)Te from the Cuoricino experiment we obtain T(1/2)(0ν)>4.0×10(24) yr at 90% C.L. (Bayesian), the most stringent limit to date on this half-life. Using a range of nuclear matrix element estimates we interpret this as a limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass, m(ββ)<270-760 meV.

Abstract
Recretohalophytes with specialized salt-secreting structures (salt glands) can secrete excess salts from plant, while discriminating between Na(+) and K(+). K(+)/Na(+) ratio plays an important role in plant salt tolerance, but the distribution and role of K(+) in the salt gland cells is poorly understood. In this article, the in situ subcellular localization of K and Na in the salt gland of the recretohalophyte Limonium bicolor Kuntze is described. Samples were prepared by high-pressure freezing (HPF), freeze substitution (FS) and analyzed using NanoSIMS. The salt gland of L. bicolor consists of sixteen cells. Higher signal strength of Na(+) was located in the apoplast of salt gland cells. Compared with control, 200 mM NaCl treatment led to higher signal strength of K(+) and Na(+) in both cytoplasm and nucleus of salt gland cells although K(+)/Na(+) ratio in both cytoplasm and nucleus were slightly reduced by NaCl. Moreover, the rate of Na(+) secretion per salt gland of L. bicolor treated with 200 mM NaCl was five times that of controls. These results suggest that K(+) accumulation both in the cytoplasm and nucleus of salt gland cells under salinity may play an important role in salt secretion, although the exact mechanism is unknown.

Abstract
With the expansion of saline land worldwide, it is essential to establish a model halophyte to study the salt-tolerance mechanism. The salt glands in the epidermis of Limonium bicolor (a recretohalophyte) play a pivotal role in salt tolerance by secreting excess salts from tissues. Despite the importance of salt secretion, nothing is known about the molecular mechanisms of salt gland development. In this study, we applied RNA sequencing to profile early leaf development using five distinct developmental stages, which were quantified by successive collections of the first true leaves of L. bicolor with precise spatial and temporal resolution. Specific gene expression patterns were identified for each developmental stage. In particular, we found that genes controlling salt gland differentiation in L. bicolor may evolve in a trichome formation, which was also confirmed by mutants with increased salt gland densities. Genes involved in the special ultrastructure of salt glands were also elucidated. Twenty-six genes were proposed to participate in salt gland differentiation. Our dataset sheds light on the molecular processes underpinning salt gland development and thus represents a first step towards the bioengineering of active salt-secretion capacity in crops.

Abstract
An 8 kW level quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) face-pumped 1064 nm slab laser with high beam quality was developed by a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system. A single-mode fiber seed laser was amplified by two-stage single-pass Nd:YAG rod preamplifiers and four face-pumped Nd:YAG slab amplifiers. The slab amplifiers were well designed with uniform pumping and uniform cooling for well-distributed thermal and stress. A dynamically feedbacked optical aberration compensation device was employed to correct low-order optical aberration, and the residue high-order optical aberration was corrected by an adaptive optics system. The QCW MOPA delivered up to an average power of 8.2 kW with a pulse duration of 200 μs at a repetition rate of 400 Hz. The beam quality factor was measured to be β=3.5.

Abstract
An efficient edge-functionalization strategy with high specificity was employed to study the effects of conjugated structures on photoluminescence (PL) properties of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Both the experimental results and density functional theory (DFT)-based calculations suggested the mechanism for conjugated structures in GQDs to tune the band gap of GQDs.

Abstract
The effects of three sulfonate gemini surfactants with different hydrophobic chain lengths (8, 10, and 12 carbon atoms) on the optical properties of a fluorene-based conjugated cationic polymer poly{[9,9-bis(6'-N,N,N-trimethylammonium)hexyl]-fluorene-phenylene} bromide (PFP) dissolved in DMSO-water solutions (4% v/v) or water were investigated, respectively. When surfactants with PFP dissolved in DMSO-water solutions (4% v/v) are incubated, a decrease in photoluminescence (PL) intensity and a red shift of emission maxima are obtained at low surfactant concentrations. Intriguingly, two different Stern-Volmer constants (KSV1 and KSV2) are obtained and analyzed in detail for the first time. Further increase in the surfactant concentration enhanced PL intensity, and distinct blue shifts of both absorption and emission maxima are observed. Importantly, the turning point between the emission quenching and enhancement is closely related to the hydrophobic chain length: the longer the chain length, the earlier the turning point appears. Simulation studies provide strong evidence to explain these phenomena. Surface tension measurements show more insight on the interactions between PFP and surfactant. On the contrary, no emission quenching is obtained at low surfactant concentrations for PFP dissolved in water.

Abstract
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Food crops of tropical origins, such as rice, are often cultivated in areas with suboptimal temperature regimes. The rice phytochrome B-deficient mutant (phyB) is tolerant of chilling temperatures compared with the wild type (WT) under low irradiance, and unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs) of membrane lipids have been shown to play an important role in chilling resistance. However, the relationship between phytochrome B and membrane lipids has not been empirically investigated. • METHODS We assessed various photosynthesis indexes in phyB and WT rice: chlorophyll content, maximal photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) of photosystem II (PSII), the quantum yield of PSII electron transport (ΦPSII), the percentage of oxidizable P700 (P700), nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ), and the de-epoxidized ratio of xanthophyll cycle (A+Z)/(V+A+Z). We also analyzed the ultrastructure and fatty acid desaturases (FADs) and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) genes of the chloroplasts using transmission electron microscopy and real-time PCR. • RESULTS After a chilling treatment of 24 h, chloroplast damage and USFA content reduction were more severe in the WT than in the phyB mutant. Genes involved in the synthesis of USFAs in membranes such as FADs and GPAT were more stable in phyB than in WT. Chlorophyll content, Fv/Fm, ΦPSII, and P700 decreased more slowly under chilling stress and recovered more rapidly under optimal conditions in phyB than in WT. The (A+Z)/(V+A+Z) and NPQ increased more rapidly in phyB than in the WT after 24 h of chilling treatment. • CONCLUSIONS Phytochrome B deficiency in rice with more stabilized chloroplast structure and higher USFA content in membrane lipids could alleviate chilling-induced photoinhibition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate clinical result of surgical treatment for intra-articular calcaneal fractures using calcaneal anatomy plate. METHODS From September 2004 to October 2009, 72 patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures were reviewed. There were 61 males and 11 females, ranging in age from 19 to 54 years old,with an average of 39.7 years old. The course of the disease ranged from 1 to 17 days. All the patients performed X-ray and semi-coronal CT scan before and after operation. According to Sanders classification system, there were 40 cases of type III and 32 cases of type IV. All the patients were treated with lateral L-type incision and calcaneal anatomy plate. The therapeutic effects were evaluated according to the standard of calcaneal fracture of the American surgery association of foot and ankle. RESULTS All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 10 to 48 months, with a mean of 38 months. According to standard of calcaneal fracture of the American surgery association of foot and ankle, 14 patients got an excellent result, 38 good, 9 fair and 11 poor. Five patients got incision non-union. Arthritis of subtalar joint was found in 3 cases. CONCLUSION Open reduction and internal fixation of plate is effective to get good reduction for subtalar joint, which is a good method to treat intra-articular calcaneal fracture.

Abstract
Suaeda salsa L. is a halophytic species that is well adapted to high salinity. In order to understand its salt tolerance mechanism, we examined the growth and vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) response to NaCl within the shoots and roots. The growth of shoots, but not roots, was dramatically stimulated by NaCl. Cl(-) and Na(+) were mainly accumulated in shoots. V-ATPase activity was significantly increased by NaCl in roots and especially in shoots. Interestingly, antisera ATP95 and ATP88b detected three V(1) subunits (66, 55 and 36 KDa) of V-ATPase only in shoots, while an 18 kDa V(0) subunit of V-ATPase was detected by both antisera in shoots and roots. It suggested that the tissue-specific characteristics of V-ATPase were related to the different patterns of growth and ion accumulation in shoots and roots of S. salsa.
