Abstract
PURPOSE Incisional hernia (IH) post renal transplant (RT) is relatively uncommon and can be challenging to manage clinically due to the presence of the kidney graft and patient immunosuppression. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesises the current literature in relation to IH rates, risk factors and outcomes post RT. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched up to July 2023. The most up to date Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses guidelines were followed. Pertinent clinical information was synthesised. A meta-analysis of the pooled proportions of IH rates, the rates of patients requiring surgical repair and the rates of recurrence post RT are reported. RESULTS Twenty studies comprising 16,018 patients were included in this analysis. The pooled rate of IH occurrence post RT was 4% (CI 3-5%). The pooled rate of IH repair post RT was 61% (CI 14-100%). The pooled rate of IH recurrence after repair was 16% (CI 9-23%). Risk factors identified for IH development post RT are BMI, immunosuppression, age, smoking, incision type, reoperation, concurrent abdominal wall hernia, lymphocele formation and pulmonary disease. CONCLUSIONS IH post RT is uncommon and the majority of IH post RT are repaired surgically on an elective basis.

Abstract
R-loops, three-stranded nucleic acid structures consisting of a DNA: RNA hybrid and displaced single-stranded DNA, play critical roles in gene expression and genome stability. How R-loop homeostasis is integrated into chloroplast gene expression remains largely unknown. We found an unexpected function of FtsHi1, an inner envelope membrane-bound AAA-ATPase in chloroplast R-loop homeostasis of Arabidopsis thaliana. Previously, this protein was shown to function as a component of the import motor complex for nuclear-encoded chloroplast proteins. However, this study provides evidence that FtsHi1 is an ATP-dependent helicase that efficiently unwinds both DNA-DNA and DNA-RNA duplexes, thereby preventing R-loop accumulation. Over-accumulation of R-loops could impair chloroplast transcription but not necessarily genome integrity. The dual function of FtsHi1 in both protein import and chloroplast gene expression may be important to coordinate the biogenesis of nuclear- and chloroplast-encoded subunits of multi-protein photosynthetic complexes. This study suggests a mechanical link between protein import and R-loop homeostasis in chloroplasts of higher plants.

Abstract
Cross-kingdom small RNA trafficking between hosts and microbes modulates gene expression in the interacting partners during infection. However, whether other RNAs are also transferred is unclear. Here, we discover that host plant Arabidopsis thaliana delivers mRNAs via extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. A fluorescent RNA aptamer reporter Broccoli system reveals host mRNAs in EVs and recipient fungal cells. Using translating ribosome affinity purification profiling and polysome analysis, we observe that delivered host mRNAs are translated in fungal cells. Ectopic expression of two transferred host mRNAs in B. cinerea shows that their proteins are detrimental to infection. Arabidopsis knockout mutants of the genes corresponding to these transferred mRNAs are more susceptible. Thus, plants have a strategy to reduce infection by transporting mRNAs into fungal cells. mRNAs transferred from plants to pathogenic fungi are translated to compromise infection, providing knowledge that helps combat crop diseases.

Abstract
Dental enamel formation is coordinated by ameloblast differentiation, production of enamel matrix proteins, and crystal growth. The factors regulating ameloblast differentiation are not fully understood. Here we show that the high mobility group N (HMGN) nucleosomal binding proteins modulate the rate of ameloblast differentiation and enamel formation. We found that HMGN1 and HMGN2 proteins are downregulated during mouse ameloblast differentiation. Genetically altered mice lacking HMGN1 and HMGN2 proteins show faster ameloblast differentiation and a higher rate of enamel deposition in mice molars and incisors. In vitro differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells to dental epithelium cells showed that HMGN proteins modulate the expression and chromatin accessibility of ameloblast-specific genes and affect the binding of transcription factors epiprofin and PITX2 to ameloblast-specific genes. Our results suggest that HMGN proteins regulate ameloblast differentiation and enamel mineralization by modulating lineage-specific chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding to ameloblast regulatory sites.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the 5-year follow-up outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) combined with left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and long-term oral anticoagulant (OAC) after RFCA in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent"one-stop"procedure in the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University from September 2015 to December 2017 (RFCA+LAAC group). Baseline data of patients were collected. Propensity score matching at the ratio of 1∶1 was used to select patients with atrial fibrillation who took long-term OAC after RFCA (RFCA+OAC group). The maintenance rate of sinus rhythm and the incidence of adverse events during follow-up were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 110 patients were enrolled in the RFCA+LAAC group and RFCA+OAC group, respectively. Age of patients was (67.4±8.8) years in RFCA+LAAC group, and there were 42 (38.2%) female patients. Age of patients was (67.3±7.9) years in RFCA+OAC group, and there were 47 (42.7%) female patients. The patients were followed up for mean of (5.3±1.1) years. There was no significant difference in the maintenance rate of sinus rhythm (log-rank: χ2=0.277, P=0.602) and incidence of ischemic stroke events (2.7% (3/110) vs. 4.5% (5/110), P=0.719) during follow-up between the two groups. The incidence of bleeding events (6.4% (7/110) vs. 18.2% (20/110), P=0.008) and major bleeding events (1.8% (2/110) vs. 8.2% (9/110), P=0.030) was significantly higher in the RFCA+OAC group than in the RFCA+LAAC group. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between RFCA+LAAC group and RFCA+OAC group in maintenance rate of sinus rhythm and incidence of ischemic stroke events. Patients in the RFCA+LAAC group have a lower risk of bleeding events compared to the RFCA+OAC group.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the long-term clinical efficacy of transcatheter repair of mitral paravalvular leak (PVL) post surgical mitral valve replacement. Methods: This study is a retrospective study. Patients who completed transcatheter repair of paravalvular leak after surgical mitral valve replacement at Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2010 to December 2018 were included. Technical success was defined as the occluder being stably implanted in the paravalvular leak site without affecting the function of the mitral valve and surrounding tissues; and there were no intervention-related complications, such as new hemolysis or aggravated hemolysis, and echocardiography confirmed mitral paravalvular regurgitation reduced by more than 1 grade. Patients were followed up at 30 days, 1, and 3 years after the intervention. The main endpoints were all-cause death and re-surgery due to interventional failure or serious complications. The occurrence of occluder-mediated hemolysis and chronic renal insufficiency was recorded, and patients were monitored with echocardiography during follow up. Results: A total of 75 patients were included, aged (54.3±22.9) years old, and 38 patients were males. All patients had decreased cardiac function and/or hemolysis before intervention. Procedural success was achieved in 54 patients (72.0%). Incidence of device-mediated hemolysis was 18.7% (14/75). During the follow-up period, all-cause death occurred in 7 patients (9.3%), and 3 were cardiac deaths.The 3-year event-free survival rate was 81.3% (61/75). The need for cardiac surgery was 9.3% (7/75): 3 cases due to severe device-mediated hemolysis, 2 cases due to prosthetic valve failure and 2 cases due to moderate to severe residual regurgitation. The echocardiography follow-up results showed that the position of the occluder was stable, there was no impact on the artificial valve function and surrounding structures, and the residual regurgitation was stable without progressive increase in event-free patients. Compared with pre-intervention, the left ventricular end systolic diameter ((33.9±7.4)mm vs. (38.3±8.9) mm, P=0.036), end diastolic diameter ((53.7±8.3) mm vs. (58.4±9.1) mm, P=0.045) and left atrial diameter (59.3 (44.5, 90.7) mm vs. 64.3 (44.8, 96.6) mm, P=0.049) were significantly reduced, pulmonary artery systolic pressure was also significantly decreased ((36.5±15.8) mmHg vs. (46.3±14.9) mmHg, P=0.022, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). There was no significant difference between 3 years and 1 year after transcatheter repair of mitral paravalvular leak post surgical mitral valve replacement (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Transcatheter repair of mitral paravalvular leak post surgical mitral valve replacement is an effective treatment option in selective patients.

Abstract
Small RNAs (sRNAs) of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea can enter plant cells and hijack host Argonaute protein 1 (AGO1) to silence host immunity genes. However, the mechanism by which these fungal sRNAs are secreted and enter host cells remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that B. cinerea utilizes extracellular vesicles (EVs) to secrete Bc-sRNAs, which are then internalized by plant cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). The B. cinerea tetraspanin protein, Punchless 1 (BcPLS1), serves as an EV biomarker and plays an essential role in fungal pathogenicity. We observe numerous Arabidopsis clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) around B. cinerea infection sites and the colocalization of B. cinerea EV marker BcPLS1 and Arabidopsis CLATHRIN LIGHT CHAIN 1, one of the core components of CCV. Meanwhile, BcPLS1 and the B. cinerea-secreted sRNAs are detected in purified CCVs after infection. Arabidopsis knockout mutants and inducible dominant-negative mutants of key components of the CME pathway exhibit increased resistance to B. cinerea infection. Furthermore, Bc-sRNA loading into Arabidopsis AGO1 and host target gene suppression are attenuated in those CME mutants. Together, our results demonstrate that fungi secrete sRNAs via EVs, which then enter host plant cells mainly through CME.

Abstract
Elevated manganese (Mn) exposure is associated with attentional deficits in children, and is an environmental risk factor for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We have shown that developmental Mn exposure causes lasting attention and sensorimotor deficits in a rat model of early childhood Mn exposure, and that these deficits are associated with a hypofunctioning catecholaminergic system in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), though the mechanistic basis for these deficits is not well understood. To address this, male Long-Evans rats were exposed orally to Mn (50 mg/kg/d) over PND 1-21 and attentional function was assessed in adulthood using the 5-Choice Serial Reaction Time Task. Targeted catecholaminergic system and epigenetic gene expression, followed by unbiased differential DNA methylation and gene regulation expression transcriptomics in the PFC, were performed in young adult littermates. Results show that developmental Mn exposure causes lasting focused attention deficits that are associated with reduced gene expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine transporter, and DNA methyltransferase 3a. Further, developmental Mn exposure causes broader lasting methylation and gene expression dysregulation associated with epigenetic regulation, inflammation, cell development, and hypofunctioning catecholaminergic neuronal systems. Pathway enrichment analyses uncovered mTOR and Wnt signaling pathway genes as significant transcriptomic regulators of the Mn altered transcriptome, and Western blot of total, C1 and C2 phospho-mTOR confirmed mTOR pathway dysregulation. Our findings deepen our understanding of the mechanistic basis of how developmental Mn exposure leads to lasting catecholaminergic dysfunction and attention deficits, which may aid future therapeutic interventions of environmental exposure associated disorders. Significance Statement Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with environmental risk factors, including exposure to neurotoxic agents. Here we used a rodent model of developmental manganese (Mn) exposure producing lasting attention deficits to show broad epigenetic and gene expression changes in the prefrontal cortex, and to identify disrupted mTOR and Wnt signaling pathways as a novel mechanism for how developmental Mn exposure may induce lasting attention and catecholaminergic system impairments. Importantly, our findings establish early development as a critical period of susceptibility to lasting deficits in attentional function caused by elevated environmental toxicant exposure. Given that environmental health threats disproportionately impact communities of color and low socioeconomic status, our findings can aid future studies to assess therapeutic interventions for vulnerable populations.

Abstract
Small RNAs (sRNAs) of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea can enter plant cells and hijack host Argonaute protein 1 (AGO1) to silence host immunity genes. However, the mechanism by which these fungal sRNAs are secreted and enter host cells remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that B. cinerea utilizes extracellular vesicles (EVs) to secrete Bc-sRNAs, which are then internalized by plant cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). The B. cinerea tetraspanin protein, Punchless 1 (BcPLS1), serves as an EV biomarker and plays an essential role in fungal pathogenicity. We observe numerous Arabidopsis clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) around B. cinerea infection sites and the colocalization of B. cinerea EV marker BcPLS1 and Arabidopsis CLATHRIN LIGHT CHAIN 1, one of the core components of CCV. Meanwhile, BcPLS1 and the B. cinerea-secreted sRNAs are detected in purified CCVs after infection. Arabidopsis knockout mutants and inducible dominant-negative mutants of key components of CME pathway exhibit increased resistance to B. cinerea infection. Furthermore, Bc-sRNA loading into Arabidopsis AGO1 and host target gene suppression are attenuated in those CME mutants. Together, our results demonstrate that fungi secrete sRNAs via EVs, which then enter host plant cells mainly through CME.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanometer-scale particles that transport biological materials such as RNAs, proteins, and metabolites. EVs have been discovered in nearly all kingdoms of life as a form of cellular communication across different cells and between interacting organisms. EV research has primarily focused on EV-mediated intra-organismal transport in mammals, which has led to the characterization of a plethora of EV contents from diverse cell types with distinct and impactful physiological effects. In contrast, research into EV-mediated transport in plants has focused on inter-organismal interactions between plants and interacting microbes. However, the overall molecular content and functions of plant and microbial EVs remain largely unknown. Recent studies into the plant-pathogen interface have demonstrated that plants produce and secrete EVs that transport small RNAs into pathogen cells to silence virulence-related genes. Plant-interacting microbes such as bacteria and fungi also secrete EVs which transport proteins, metabolites, and potentially RNAs into plant cells to enhance their virulence. This review will focus on recent advances in EV-mediated communications in plant-pathogen interactions compared to the current state of knowledge of mammalian EV capabilities and highlight the role of EVs in cross-kingdom RNA interference.

Abstract
Objective: To development the prognostic nomogram for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Methods: Two hundred and ten patients pathologically confirmed as MPM were enrolled in this retrospective study from 2007 to 2020 in the People's Hospital of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, the First and Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, and divided into training (n=112) and test (n=98) sets according to the admission time. The observation factors included demography, symptoms, history, clinical score and stage, blood cell and biochemistry, tumor markers, pathology and treatment. The Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the prognostic factors of 112 patients in the training set. According to the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis, the prognostic prediction nomogram was established. C-Index and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model's discrimination and consistency in raining and test sets, respectively. Patients were stratified according to the median risk score of nomogram in the training set. Log rank test was performed to compare the survival differences between the high and low risk groups in the two sets. Results: The median overall survival (OS) of 210 MPM patients was 384 days (IQR=472 days), and the 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival rates were 75.7%, 52.6%, 19.7%, and 13.0%, respectively. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that residence (HR=2.127, 95% CI: 1.154-3.920), serum albumin (HR=1.583, 95% CI: 1.017-2.464), clinical stage (stage Ⅳ: HR=3.073, 95% CI: 1.366-6.910) and the chemotherapy (HR=0.476, 95% CI: 0.292-0.777) were independent prognostic factors for MPM patients. The C-index of the nomogram established based on the results of Cox multivariate regression analysis in the training and test sets were 0.662 and 0.613, respectively. Calibration curves for both the training and test sets showed moderate consistency between the predicted and actual survival probabilities of MPM patients at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. The low-risk group had better outcomes than the high-risk group in both training (P=0.001) and test (P=0.003) sets. Conclusion: The survival prediction nomogram established based on routine clinical indicators of MPM patients provides a reliable tool for prognostic prediction and risk stratification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The serum anion gap (AG) has been reported to be an important prognostic indicator for patients in intensive care units. To explore the potential relationship between the serum AG and 30-day mortality in patients who underwent CABG. PATIENTS AND METHODS All data were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Ⅳ (MIMIC-Ⅳ) database. We divided patients into 3 groups according to AG tertiles. The primary outcome of our study was the 30-day mortality of patients who underwent CABG. The relationship between the serum AG and mortality in individuals who underwent CABG was estimated using Cox proportional hazard models. Subgroup analysis for effect modification was conducted with a likelihood ratio test. RESULTS A total of 5,102 eligible subjects were included in our analysis. After adjusting for confounding factors, every unit increase in the AG was associated with a 22% higher odds of 30-day mortality in patients who underwent CABG [hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.22, 1.13-1.33] When the AG was converted into a categorical variable, the high AG group had a higher risk of 30-day mortality than the low AG group in the fully adjusted model (HR, 95% CI: 3.99, 1.35-11.76). Tests for trends were statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that higher mortality was related to the subgroups of people ≥ 70 years and females. CONCLUSIONS The serum AG was an independent predictor of short-term prognosis in patients who underwent CABG. A high AG was associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality after CABG.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the value of clear cell likelihood score (ccLS) in identifying renal oncocytoma (RO) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: Retrospective data of pathologically confirmed 43 RO patients [24 men and 19 women, aged 22-77 (54±14) years] between February 2008 and September 2021 and 43 ccRCC patients [30 men and 13 women, aged 29-78 (56±12) years] between May and July 2021 were consecutively included in the department of radiology, Chinese PLA General Hospital. Two radiologists used ccLS to assess each case independently, and disagreements were resolved by consensus. The ability of ccLS to identify RO and ccRCC was examined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve which identified the best optimal diagnostic cut-off values, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Results: The mean tumor diameter was 3.8 cm in RO patients and 3.7 cm in ccRCC patients. Central scar and segmental enhancement inversion (SEI) were more frequently observed in the RO group compared to the ccRCC group [53.5% (23∶43) versus 11.6% (5∶43) and 41.9% (18∶43) versus 7.0% (3∶43), respectively], with statistical differences (P<0.001). The ccLS scores in the RO group ranged from 1 to 4, while 79.0% of the cases were 3. The ccLS scores in the ccRCC group ranged from 2 to 5, while 72% of the cases were 4. The scores of the two groups were statistically different (P<0.001). The ccLS showed the best performance when the threshold was 4 according to the ROC curve. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of ccLS for distinguishing RO from ccRCC were 83.7%, 90.7%, 87.2%, 90.0%, and 84.8%, respectively, and the area under the ROC curve value was 0.879. Conclusion: The ccLS has credible sensitivity and specificity in differentiating renal oncocytoma from clear cell carcinoma, which may be helpful for the preoperative diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined whether auricular acupressure (AA) at four specifically preselected AA points can alleviate knee pain and decrease non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) consumption and its adverse effects for osteoarthritis patients. METHODS Sixty-two patients (more than 40 years) with knee osteoarthritis of Kellgren-Lawrence grades of I or II upon radiographic classification were enrolled in this randomized, sham-controlled prospective study, and divided into two groups (AA group and control group). The AA group received true AA by embedding vaccaria seeds at four specific AA points (knee joint, shenmen, subcortex and sympathesis) ipsilateral to the knee osteoarthritis site, while the control group received four nonacupuncture points on the auricular helix. Visual analog scale (VAS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score, the number of patients who needed celecoxib pills and adverse effects were recorded. RESULTS VAS and WOMAC scores in the AA group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05) at Days 3 and 7 postsugery. The VAS and WOMAC score were significantly decreased after the treatment in the AA group compared with that before the treatment (P < 0.05). The use of celebrex is significantly lower in the AA group than in the control group (P < 0.05), no major side effects were observed during the auricular acupressure treatment. CONCLUSION Auricular acupressure plays a role in analgesic effect and can effectively decrease NSAIDs requirements without causing adverse events for the treatment of human knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aims to perform an updated meta-analysis to evaluate myo-inositol (myo-ins) and the classical insulin sensitizer metformin in terms of efficacy and safety for treating women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PhRMA Clinical Study Results, Wan Fang, and CNKI databases; the database was searched from inception to June 2021. The random effects model was chosen to synthesize the effect sizes of individual trails. The registration number is CRD42021239786. RESULTS Nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 612 patients were included in the analysis. Compared with metformin, myo-ins might be more effective in lowering triglycerides (TG) levels (SMD -0.49, 95% CI -0.74 to -0.24, p=0.0001, I2 = 0%) and avoiding side effects (RR=0.14, 95% CI 0.08-0.24, p<0.00001, I2 = 2%), while no significant differences were observed in other relevant indexes, such as total testosterone (TT) and sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). CONCLUSIONS Compared with metformin, the suitable supplemental dosage of myo-ins may be helpful in lowering levels of TG and avoiding adverse events (AEs).

Abstract
AbstractThe possibility that Arctic sea ice loss weakens mid-latitude westerlies, promoting more severe cold winters, has sparked more than a decade of scientific debate, with apparent support from observations but inconclusive modelling evidence. Here we show that sixteen models contributing to the Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project simulate a weakening of mid-latitude westerlies in response to projected Arctic sea ice loss. We develop an emergent constraint based on eddy feedback, which is 1.2 to 3 times too weak in the models, suggesting that the real-world weakening lies towards the higher end of the model simulations. Still, the modelled response to Arctic sea ice loss is weak: the North Atlantic Oscillation response is similar in magnitude and offsets the projected response to increased greenhouse gases, but would only account for around 10% of variations in individual years. We further find that relationships between Arctic sea ice and atmospheric circulation have weakened recently in observations and are no longer inconsistent with those in models.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in plants have emerged as key players in cell-to-cell communication and cross-kingdom RNAi between plants and pathogens by facilitating the exchange of RNA, proteins, and other molecules. In addition to their role in intercellular communication, plant EVs also show promise as potential therapeutics and indicators of plant health. However, plant EVs exhibit significant heterogeneity in their protein markers, size, and biogenesis pathways, strongly influencing their composition and functionality. While mammalian EVs can be generally classified as exosomes that are derived from multivesicular bodies (MVBs), microvesicles that are shed from the plasma membrane, or as apoptotic bodies that originate from cells undergoing apoptosis, plant EVs remain poorly studied in comparison. At least three subclasses of EVs have been identified in Arabidopsis leaves to date, including Tetraspanin-positive exosomes derived from MVBs, Penetration 1 (PEN1)-positive EVs, and EVs derived from exocyst-positive organelles (EXPO). Differences in the plant starting material and isolation techniques have resulted in different purities, quality, and compositions of the resulting EVs, complicating efforts to better understand the role of these EVs in plants. We performed a comparative analysis on commonly used plant EV isolation methods and have identified an effective protocol for extracting clean apoplastic washing fluid (AWF) and isolating high-quality intact and pure EVs of Arabidopsis thaliana. These EVs can then be used for various applications or studied to assess their cargos and functionality in plants. Furthermore, this process can be easily adapted to other plant species of interest. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internal malleolus fractures and postoperative functional limitations are serious complications of deltoid ligament repair, reconstruction, while studies on conducting beak. Anatomical structure classification of medial malleolus at home and abroad is reported rarely. Hence, this morphological study is mainly designed to investigate the anatomical morphological classification and clinical significance of medial malleolus based on computed tomography (CT) three-dimensional reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 2018 to January 2021, 373 patients who underwent CT examination of malleolus medialis joint in the Jiang'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were observed. The medial malleolus was observed and classified; then, geometric parameters were measured according to different medial malleolus types. RESULTS According to the results of 373 cases, medial malleolus can be divided into four types: omega type (66%), radical sign type (16%), inverted triangle type (14%), and wave type (4%). CONCLUSIONS There are four main shapes: omega, inverted triangle, radical sign, and wave in the medial malleolus of all normal ankles. The measurement of medial malleolus parameters according to medial malleolus in different shapes was of importance to guide smooth operation of medial malleolus fixation and deltoid ligament reconstruction and epidemiological.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Zoledronic acid is widely used in patients with osteoporosis, and this meta-analysis aims to explore the influence of zoledronic acid on fracture risk and mortality in patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library for randomized clinical trials comparing zoledronic acid with control intervention (i.e., placebo or nothing) for osteoporosis or osteopenia. The fracture and mortality were estimated using the random-effect model. RESULTS 12 randomized trials were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to control intervention, zoledronic acid was associated with significantly reduced incidence of fracture at the follow-up of 12 months, 24 months, 36 months and 72 months. In addition, zoledronic acid could remarkably reduce mortality at 12 months and 24 months than control intervention but revealed no influence on mortality at 36 months or 72 months. In terms of adverse events, zoledronic acid might result in the increase in serious atrial fibrillation and death from stroke than control intervention. CONCLUSIONS Zoledronic acid is beneficial to reduce the incidence of fracture, while its benefits to reduce the mortality are only observed at the follow-up time of 24 months.

Abstract
Plants communicate with their interacting microorganisms through the exchange of functional molecules. This communication is critical for plant immunity, for pathogen virulence, and for establishing and maintaining symbioses. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-enclosed spheres that are released by both the host and the microbe into the extracellular environment. Emerging evidence has shown that EVs play a prominent role in plant-microbe interactions by safely transporting functional molecules, such as proteins and RNAs to interacting organisms. Recent studies revealed that plant EVs deliver fungal gene-targeting small RNAs into fungal pathogens to suppress infection via cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi). In this review, we focus on the recent advances in our understanding of plant EVs and their role in plant-microbe interactions.

Abstract
Quantitative analysis was performed on the biphasic CT of 40 patients [43-80 (66.1±9.0) years old, including 37 males] with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to measure the percentage of emphysema (Emph%); the percentage of small airway disease (SAD%) and the square root of the wall area of hypothetical airway with internal perimeter of 10 mm (Pi10). Based on the cluster analysis of Emph%, SAD% and Pi10, the patients were divided into five imaging phenotypes including no obvious imaging abnormality type (n=11), small airway disease-dominant type (n=9), bronchial wall thickening-dominant type (n=8), emphysema-dominant type (n=6) and mixed type (n=6). Patients with the same Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) grade had similar degree of airflow limitation, but the lesion components were not identical. Being different from the traditional imaging classification, even in the cases of mild emphysema, they can be further divided into small airway disease-dominant type and bronchial wall thickening-dominant type according to the difference of airway disease.

Abstract
Epidural catheters are often used in the provision of surgical anaesthesia and analgesia. These catheters need to be removed after a certain period, but difficulties may be encountered during this process. We present a case of difficult epidural catheter removal in an elderly woman who had undergone surgery for reduction and internal fixation of a comminuted intertrochanteric fracture at the left femur under combined spinal epidural anaesthesia. Anaesthesia was satisfactory during the operation; however, initial attempts to remove the catheter at the end of the procedure was met with significant resistance. Normal saline (5 ml) was injected through the catheter without difficulty, suggesting that the catheter was likely trapped and compressed but not obstructed. A nickel/titanium memory alloy suture was used as a guidewire to remove the catheter without damaging it. This case was analysed subsequently, and the management of future problematic removals is discussed herein. This article aims to raise awareness of, and to explore techniques for managing difficult epidural catheter removal.

Abstract
Communication between plant cells and interacting microorganisms requires the secretion and uptake of functional molecules to and from the extracellular environment and is essential for the survival of both plants and their pathogens. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-enclosed spheres that deliver RNA, protein, and metabolite cargos from donor to recipient cells and participate in many cellular processes. Emerging evidencehas shown that both plant and microbial EVs play important roles in cross-kingdom molecular exchange between hosts and interacting microbes to modulate host immunity and pathogen virulence. Recent studies revealed that plant EVs function as a defense system by encasing and delivering small RNAs (sRNAs) into pathogens, thereby mediating cross-species and cross-kingdom RNA interference to silence virulence-related genes. This review focuses on the latest advances in our understanding of plant and microbial EVs and their roles in transporting regulatory molecules, especially sRNAs, between hosts and pathogens. EV biogenesis and secretion are also discussed, as EV function relies on these important processes.

Abstract
Coronatine (COR) is a non-host specific phytotoxin secreted by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato that can induce leaf chlorosis and increase the virulence of pathogens during plant-pathogen interactions. Studies have shown that COR can regulate multiple physiological processes in plants, but its involvement in bacterial pathogenesis and plant growth regulation is not well understood. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was carried out on 4-week-old tomato leaves that were either mock-treated or treated with COR. Transcriptome sequencing led to the identification of 6144 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which 4361 genes were downregulated and 1783 genes were upregulated upon COR treatment. To obtain functional information on the DEGs, we annotated these genes using GO and KEGG databases. Functional classification analysis showed that the DEGs were primarily involved in photosynthesis, chlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis, jasmonic acid (JA) synthesis and phenylpropane metabolism. A total of 23 genes related to chlorophyll biosynthesis had significant changes, of which 22 genes were downregulated and one gene was upregulated, indicating that chlorophyll biosynthesis was inhibited upon COR treatment. A total of 17 photosystem I related genes and 22 photosystem II related genes involving 20 protein subunits were also downregulated. In the JA synthesis pathway, 25 genes were up regulated, and six genes were downregulated in COR treated samples. COR was also involved in the regulation of multiple secondary metabolites. The identified DEGs will help us better understand the virulence effects and physiological functions of COR and provide a theoretical basis for breeding resistance into economically important crops.

Abstract
Objective: Pelvic high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has now become a standard method for evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). However, this traditional morphological qualitative assessment method based on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) is not effective in predicting pathological complete remission (pCR). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether combining the magnetic resonance tumor regression grade (mrTRG) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) can improve diagnostic value for pCR after preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) of LARC. Methods: This was a diagnostic study. Clinicopathological data of 134 LARC patients who received nCRT and radical surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent MRI which included T2WI and DWI sequences before and 8 weeks after nCRT. Two radiologists independently drew ROIs on T2WI and DWI to estimate mrTRG stage and calculate the mean ADC value. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) method was applied to evaluate the predict value of mrTRG combined with mean ADC value for pCR. Results: Of 134 LARC patients, 85 were male and 49 were female with median age of 58 (28-82) years. After nCRT, MRI suggested 21 patients (15.7%) had clinical complete remission (cCR), e.g. mrTRG stage 1-2. Postoperative pathology revealed 31 (23.1%) patients had pCR. The evaluations of mrTRG and ADC value by the two readers were highly consistent, and the intra-group correlation coefficients were 0.83 (95% CI: 0.703-0.881) and 0.96 (95% CI: 0.989-0.996), respectively. There was a negative correlation between mrTRG and pCR (r(s)=-0.505, P<0.01), and a positive correlation between mean ADC value and pCR (r(s)=0.693, P<0.01). The ROC curve showed that mrTRG alone had a medium predictive value for pCR, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.832 (95% CI: 0.743-0.921); the mean ADC value had a higher predictive value for pCR, with AUC of 0.906 (95% CI: 0.869-0.962). The predictive value of the combined model of mrTRG and ADC value for pCR was significantly better than that of mrTRG alone (P=0.015), and the AUC was 0.908 (95% CI: 0.849-0.968). Conclusion: Both mrTRG and mean ADC value can be non-invasive methods to predict the efficacy of nCRT for LARC. Combining the mean ADC value with mrTRG can result in better pCR prediction.

Abstract
We report on a precision energy loss measurement and theoretical investigation of 100 keV/u helium ions in a hydrogen-discharge plasma. Collision processes of helium ions with protons, free electrons, and hydrogen atoms are ideally suited for benchmarking plasma stopping-power models. Energy loss results of our experiments are significantly higher than the predictions of traditional effective charge models. We obtained good agreement with our data by solving rate equations, where in addition to the ground state, also excited electronic configurations were considered for the projectile ions. Hence, we demonstrate that excited projectile states, resulting from collisions, leading to capture-, ionization-, and radiative-decay processes, play an important role in the stopping process in plasma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our and other's studies showed that administration of neuropeptide galanin may mitigate insulin resistance via promoting glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression and translocation in rats. The objective of this study is to investigate whether galanin receptor 2 (GAL2-R) in brain mediates the ameliorative effect of galanin on insulin resistance in adipose tissues of type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS In this study galanin, GAL2-R agonist M1145 and GAL2-R antagonist M871 were respectively or cooperatively injected into intracerebroventricles of type 2 diabetic rats once a day for successive fifteen days. Then the plasma and fat tissues of rats were used to estimate the alterations of insulin resistance indexes. RESULTS The central administration of galanin enhanced 2-deoxy-[3H]-D-glucose, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and adiponectin levels, food intake and body weight, GLUT4 mRNA expression and GLUT4 concentration in plasma membranes, as well as homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index. Those effects of galanin may be blocked by M817, and imitated by M1145 except for food intake and body weight. CONCLUSION Those results suggest that central GAL2-R mediates the beneficial effects of galanin on insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic rats. GAL2-R agonist may be taken as a potential antidiabetic agent to treat insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Plants use extracellular vesicles (EVs) to transport small RNAs (sRNAs) into their fungal pathogens and silence fungal virulence-related genes through a phenomenon called 'cross-kingdom RNAi'. It remains unknown, however, how sRNAs are selectively loaded into EVs. Here, we identified several RNA-binding proteins in Arabidopsis, including Argonaute 1 (AGO1), RNA helicases (RHs) and annexins (ANNs), which are secreted by exosome-like EVs. AGO1, RH11 and RH37 selectively bind to EV-enriched sRNAs but not to non-EV-associated sRNAs, suggesting that they contribute to the selective loading of sRNAs into EVs. Conversely, ANN1 and ANN2 bind to sRNAs non-specifically. The ago1, rh11 rh37 and ann1 ann2 mutants showed reduced secretion of sRNAs in EVs, demonstrating that these RNA-binding proteins play an important role in sRNA loading and/or stabilization in EVs. Furthermore, rh11 rh37 and ann1 ann2 showed increased susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea, suggesting that RH11, RH37, ANN1 and ANN2 positively regulate plant immunity against B. cinerea.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary cryptococcosis in respiratory medicine and improve the understanding of the clinical characteristics of HIV-negative pulmonary cryptococcosis in China. Methods: A prospective multi-center open cohort study was designed to screen for pulmonary cryptococcosis in the general wards and intensive care units of the Department of Respiratory Diseases in 22 hospitals. The HIV-negative patients with positive cryptococcal etiological diagnosis based on smear culture, antigen detection and histopathology were enrolled in the study. The clinical data of enrolled patients were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 457 cases of pulmonary cryptococcosis were enrolled, among which 3.28% (15/457) were disseminated infections. The case fatality rate was 0.88% (4/457). The majority of the cases were diagnosed by histopathological examinations (74.40%, 340/457) and cryptococcus antigen detection (37.64%, 172/457). Patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis accounted for 2.04‰ (457/223 748) of the total hospitalized patients in the Department of Respiratory Diseases during the same period, and the ratio was the highest in south and east China. Meanwhile, 70.24% (321/457) of the patients had no underlying diseases, while 87.75% (401/457) were found to have immunocompetent status. Cough and expectoration were the most common clinical symptoms in patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis. However, 25.16% (115/457) of the patients had no clinical symptom or physical signs. In terms of imaging features on pulmonary CT, multiple pulmonary lesions were more common than isolated lesions, and there were more subpleural lesions than perihilar or medial lesions. Morphologically, most of the lesions were middle-sized nodules (1-5 cm) or small-sized nodules (3 mm to 1 cm). The sensitivity of serum cryptococcus antigen test was 71.99% (203/282). Moreover, antigen-positive patients differed from antigen-negative patients in terms of basic immune status, clinical symptoms, imaging features and infection types. Meanwhile, immunocompromised patients differed from immunocompetent patients in terms of clinical symptoms, physical signs, infection-related inflammation indicator levels, imaging features, serum cryptococcus antigen positive rate and prognosis. Conclusions: The majority of cases of HIV-negative pulmonary cryptococcosis in China had no underlying disease or immunocompromised status, and the overrall prognosis was favorable. However, early diagnosis of HIV-negative pulmonary cryptococcosis remains challenging due to the complicated manifestations of the disease.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of eosionphilic Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (eChRCC), and differences in morphology, immunophenotype and clinical prognosis betweeneChRCC, renal oncocytoma(RO) and classic Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (cChRCC). Methods: The clinicopathologic data of 17 patients diagnosed as eChRCC from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (13 cases) and 971 Hospital of PLA Navy (4 cases) from October 2006 to February 2019 were collected. Immunohistochemical analysis was carried out to compare the immunophenotypes between 17 cases with ChRCC, 27 cases with RO and 30 cases with cChRCC. Resuls: Among the 17 patients, seven were males and ten were females, and the age ranged from 40 to 75 years (median 54 years). Clinically, 15 cases of 17 were found accidentally by physical examination. The tumor size ranged from 1.8 cm to 10.0 cm (average 5.7 cm) and the cut surface of 15 cases were solid, one case was solicl and cystic, and one was cystic. Most showed gray to red, and partially soft, gray to yellow appearances. Microscopically, most tumors presented solid growth pattern with vary number of alveolar structures (12 cases). Some were predominately characterized by cystic structure (3 cases), alveolar structure(1 case) and microcapsule structure (1 case). There were boundaries with varying degrees of clarity between tumor cells in 16 cases. The cytoplasm of tumor cells was eosinophilic and the nuclei were small round or irregular with focal perinuclear haloes in 14 cases. Large polygonal cells with light-stained cytoplasm appeared focally in 9 cases, and edematous areas with scarce tumor cells were found in 4 cases. Among 7 cases, 4 cases focally invaded peripheral renal parenchyma, 2 cases invaded adipose tissues outside the renal capsule, and 1 case presented invasion of renal sinus. Immunohistochemically, all cases were moderate to strong positive for EMA and claudin-7. CK7, CD117 and Ksp-cad were highly expressed with the expression rates of 12/17, 15/17, 14/17, respectively. Cyclin D1, AMACR, CD10, S100A1, and RCC were rarely expressed with the expression rates of 4/17, 3/17, 4/17, 1/17 and 1/17, respectively. On the contrary, all cases were negative for vimentin, CAⅨ, HMB45 and Melan A. The Ki-67 proliferation index of the 17 cases was 1%‒5%. Follow-up data were available for all 17 patients from 7 to 154 months. Among them, 15 patients were alive without tumor recurrence or metastasis, one patient died of pulmonary metastasis after 31 months of surgery and one patient died of hepatic metastasis after 38 months of surgery. Conclusion: eChRCC has overlapping morphology and immunophenotype with RO. eChRCC is characterized by solid nest or alveolar structure, distinct border between tumor cells, perinuclear halos and lacking of interstitial looseness and edema. Scattered large polygonal cells with light-stained cytoplasm in tumor tissue play a significant role in the diagnosis of eChRCC. The positive expression of CK7, CD117, claudin-7 and Ksp-cad, and negative expression of cyclin D1, S100A1 are helpful to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of eChRCC. The prognosis of eChRCC after complete surgical resection is excellent and few cases may have long-term metastasis. There is no significant difference in prognosis between eChRCC and cChRCC, but eChRCC shows better outcome than RO.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study evaluated whether coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) that were measured with non-gated chest CT predicted perioperative cardiovascular events in patients who were undergoing lower-risk lung cancer surgery.
Method
In this retrospective single center study, we evaluated 3112 consecutive lung cancer patients with non-gated chest CT before low-medium risk surgeries in 2017. We measured CACS and assessed clinical risk factors according to the revised cardiac risk index (RCRI) scores and predictable surgery factors. Perioperative cardiovascular events were defined as cardiac death, acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary edema, atrial and ventricular arrhythmia with hemodynamic compromise, and complete heart block during hospitalization.
Result
83 patients (2.7%) had perioperative cardiac events, 71 (85.5%) of them were atrial fibrillation. Coronary calcification CT findings were seen in 761 (24.5%) patients. CACS were associated with incidence of cardiac events (p<0.001). In the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of CACS for prediction of cardiac events, the cutoff value was 1 (sensitivity, 0.60; specificity, 0.75; area under the curve, 0.680). In the multivariate analysis, CACS >1 (OR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.08–2.84, p=0.023), age (OR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.10, p<0.001), pulmonary function classification (p<0.001) and thoracotomy (OR=3.06, 95% CI: 1.78–5.26, p<0.001) were predictive of cardiovascular complications.
Conclusion
Predicative value of CACS based on non-gated chest CT is high for perioperative cardiovascular risk in lung cancer patients with lower-risk lung surgery. It may be considered as a valuable tool for preoperative risk assessment in these patients without additional testing.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Platelet endothelial aggregation receptor-1 (PEAR1), expressed in endothelium, platelets, and other tissues, is a platelet transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor involved in platelet aggregation and platelet-platelet contact. The minor allele (A) in intron 1 of the PEAR1 gene (rs12041331, G>A) is associated with an reduced PEAR1 protein expression and suppressed platelet aggregation response toward multiple agonists. But current evidences on the association between PEAR1 rs12041331 polymorphisms and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are discordant.
Purpose
To characterize and quantify the association between PEAR1 rs12041331 polymorphisms and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ACS and/or PCI.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, SinoMed, CNKI, and Wanfang Data before Dec 7, 2019 to identify studies evaluating the association between PEAR1 rs12041331 polymorphisms and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ACS and/or PCI. The primary outcome was the major adverse cardiovascular outcomes (MACEs) defined by each study. We adopted the Mantel-Haenszel method to calculate the relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and the corresponding P values using the random effect model. To assess the effect of ethnicity, we performed the subgroup analyses per ethnic population using the fix effect model.
Results
Among 542 citations identified along with 1 from additional sources, we included 4 studies, which documented 218 MACEs in 8180 patients. The A allele frequency in each study was comparable with that reported in the 1000 Genome Project, but varied among ethnic populations, that is 45.8% in East Asians, 46.5% in American Africans, and 9.2% in Caucasians, adopted from the 1000 Genome Project. A-allele carriers are associated with a 54% increase in MACEs than non-A-carriers (RR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.10–2.16; P=0.01) with a low but non-significant heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses showed that A-allele carriers tend to have more MACEs than non-A-allele carriers despite of ethnicity, that is 1.32-fold increase in East Asians (RR, 1.32; 95% CI, 0.99–1.77; P=0.06), 2.43-fold in Caucasians (RR, 2.43; 95% CI, 0.99–5.98; P=0.05), and 3.56-fold (RR, 3.56; 95% CI, 1.08–11.70; P=0.04) in American Africans.
Conclusions
Our study indicates that the PEAR1 rs12041331 is prognostic in patients with ACS and/or PCI and treated with DAPT, which might be not caused by the associations with pharmacological response to antiplatelet agents. Further investigations are thus required to address the unrevealing mechanisms of PEAR1, especially on the development of atherosclerosis and the occurrence of acute adverse ischemic events.

Abstract
Background
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is currently guided by fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
Objective
We report an LAAC technique using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and electroanatomic mapping system (EAMS) under local anesthesia without fluoroscopy exposure.
Methods
Seven non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with high risk of stroke and bleeding (male 5/7, aged 71.7±8.8 years, mean CHA2DS2-VASc score 5.1±2.1; mean HAS-BLED score 3.0±1.2) were enrolled. ICE probe was advanced into left atrium (LA) navigated by the EAMS. LAA sizing and LAmbreTM device implantation were guided by ICE following the orthogonal tri-axial algorithm (Axis-X: from left pulmonary veins [LPVs] to LAA; Axis-Y: from right PV ostium to LAA; Axis-Z: from lower LA to LAA).
Results
There were two cauliflower-like, two chicken-wing-like and three cactus-like LAAs. The mean diameters of ostia and landing zone were 21.4±3.9mm and 20.4±4.2mm, respectively. LAmbre devices with a mean umbrella diameter of 23.7±4.2mm and cover disc diameter of 29.4±3.6mm were successfully implanted and acute complete LAA sealing without peri-device leak (PDL) were achieved in all cases. The mean procedural duration was 73.0±21.4min. No fluoroscopy exposure nor contrast consumption were recorded. No procedure-related complications were documented. The PDL at 45-day follow-up was 1.7±0.8mm. No stroke or thromboembolic events were documented.
Conclusions
The fluoroscopic exposure could be minimized, even to zero, in the ICE-guided LAAC procedures feasibly and safely using LAmbre devices. The orthogonal tri-axial assessment is considered efficacious and safe for the procedures.

Abstract
The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) has caused increasing number of infected cases globally. This study was performed to analyze information regarding the transmission route and presence of viral nucleic acids on several clinical samples. Confirmed 2019-nCov-infected cases were identified in Dongyang and were treated according to guidelines for the diagnosis of 2019-nCov infection released by the National Health Commission. Information regarding the contacts that the infected people had was collected to determine whether it caused clustered cases. A series of successive nucleic acid examination of feces, oropharyngeal swabs, and sputum was also performed, and the results were analyzed. A total of 19 confirmed cases of 2019-nCov infection were identified in Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, China. Five cases showed severe symptoms, and the remaining ones showed mild manifestations. Ten cases infected from two asymptomatic individuals were clustered into two groups. Among 14 cases with consecutive nucleic acid test results, four patients showed positive results in feces after their negative conversion in oropharyngeal swabs. Asymptomatic individuals with the virus could cause 2019-nCov clustered cases, and the clustered cases may differ from sporadic cases on age and length of hospitalization. In addition, nucleic acids in feces last longer than those in oropharyngeal swabs.

Abstract
Recently, important regulatory mechanisms of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely reported in human cancers including cervical cancer. The purpose of this study is to preliminarily clarify the function of miR-1294 in cervical cancer. The expression of miR-1294 or FLOT1 was detected using RT-qPCR or Western blot analysis. MTT, Transwell and luciferase reporter assays were used to explore the functional mechanism of miR-1294. The results showed that miR-1294 expression was decreased in cervical cancer. Functionally, overexpression of miR-1294 restrained the viability and metastasis of cervical cancer cells. MiR-1294 can also block EMT and suppress β-catenin expression in cervical cancer cells. Additionally, FLOT1 was confirmed to be a direct target of miR-1294. The knockdown of FLOT1 impeded the progression of cervical cancer. More importantly, miR-1294 inhibited the occurrence of cervical cancer by interacting with FLOT1. In conclusion, miR-1294 inhibits cell viability, migration and invasion by suppressing FLOT1 expression.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to have promoting or inhibiting effects on the tumorigenesis of multiple cancers, including ovarian cancer (OC), by regulating its downstream target genes. In the presented experiment, our aim was to explore the role of miR-543 in OC cell proliferation and invasion. Results of quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot revealed that miR-543 have lower expression levels, while Twist homolog 1 (TWIST1) was expressed with higher levels in OC tissues and cells. Furthermore, the effects of abnormal miR-543 expression in OC cell proliferation and invasion were detected by CCK-8 and Transwell assay. According to luciferase reporter assay results, TWIST1 was identified as a downstream target of miR-543 in OC, and a negative correlation was observed between TWIST1 and miR-543 expression by Spearman's correlation analysis in OC tissues. In addition, TWIST1 may reverse the miR-543 suppression effect on OC cell proliferation and invasion. To sum up, miR-543 may promote OC cell proliferation and invasion by targeting TWIST1.
