Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with high morbidity and mortality and lacks effective treatment. Pyroptosis is a crucial mechanism underlying early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Previous studies have confirmed that tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6) can exert a neuroprotective effect by suppressing oxidative stress and apoptosis. However, no study to date has explored whether TSG-6 can alleviate pyroptosis in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this study, a C57BL/6J mouse model of subarachnoid hemorrhage was established using the endovascular perforation method. Our results indicated that TSG-6 expression was predominantly detected in astrocytes, along with NLRC4 and gasdermin-D (GSDMD). The expression of NLRC4, GSDMD and its N-terminal domain (GSDMD-N), and cleaved caspase-1 was significantly enhanced after subarachnoid hemorrhage and accompanied by brain edema and neurological impairment. To explore how TSG-6 affects pyroptosis during early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage, recombinant human TSG-6 or a siRNA targeting TSG-6 was injected into the cerebral ventricles. Exogenous TSG-6 administration downregulated the expression of NLRC4 and pyroptosis-associated proteins and alleviated brain edema and neurological deficits. Moreover, TSG-6 knockdown further increased the expression of NLRC4, which was accompanied by more severe astrocyte pyroptosis. In summary, our study revealed that TSG-6 provides neuroprotection against early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage by suppressing NLRC4 inflammasome activation-induced astrocyte pyroptosis.

Abstract
Neuronal apoptosis is a common pathological change in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and it is closely associated with neurological deficits. According to previous research, p97 exhibits a remarkable anti-cardiomyocyte apoptosis effect. p97 is a critical molecule in the growth and development of the nervous system. However, it remains unknown whether p97 can exert an anti-neuronal apoptosis effect in SAH. In the present study, we examined the role of p97 in neuronal apoptosis induced after SAH and investigated the underlying mechanism. We established an in vivo SAH mice model and overexpressed the p97 protein through transfection of the mouse cerebral cortex. We analyzed the protective effect of p97 on neurons and evaluated short-term and long-term neurobehavior in mice after SAH. p97 was found to be significantly downregulated in the cerebral cortex of the affected side in mice after SAH. The site showing reduced p97 expression also exhibited a high level of neuronal apoptosis. Adeno-associated virus-mediated overexpression of p97 significantly reduced the extent of neuronal apoptosis, improved early and long-term neurological function, and repaired the neuronal damage in the long term. These neuroprotective effects were accompanied by enhanced proteasome function and inhibition of the integrated stress response (ISR) apoptotic pathway involving eIF2α/CHOP. The administration of the p97 inhibitor NMS-873 induced a contradictory effect. Subsequently, we observed that inhibiting the function of the proteasome with the proteasome inhibitor PS-341 blocked the anti-neuronal apoptosis effect of p97 and enhanced the activation of the ISR apoptotic pathway. However, the detrimental effects of NMS-873 and PS-341 in mice with SAH were mitigated by the administration of the ISR inhibitor ISRIB. These results suggest that p97 can promote neuronal survival and improve neurological function in mice after SAH. The anti-neuronal apoptosis effect of p97 is achieved by enhancing proteasome function and inhibiting the overactivation of the ISR apoptotic pathway.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of global mortality and disability. Nevertheless, successful treatment remains limited. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and the mechanism of miR-96-5p in protecting acute ischemic brain injury in adult mice. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in adult male C57BL/6 mice. MiR-96-5p or the negative control was administered via intracerebroventricular injection. The expression of pyroptosis-related genes and activation of various resident cells in the brain was assessed by RT-qPCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Modified neurological severity score, rotarod test, cylinder test, brain water content, and cerebral infarction volume were used to evaluate the behavioral deficits and the severity of brain injury after MCAO. Flow cytometry, TUNEL staining, and Nissl staining were employed to assess the neuron damage. MiR-96-5p decreased markedly in the ischemic stroke model in vivo and in vitro. MiR-96-5p mimics suppressed the expression of caspase 1 and alleviated the apoptosis rate in OGD/R treatment N2a cells, however, the miR-96-5p inhibitor caused the opposite results. Intracerebroventricular delivery of miR-96-5p agomir significantly mitigated behavioral deficits, brain water content, and cerebral infarction volume after MCAO. In addition, treatment with miR-96-5p agomir downregulated the expression of caspase 1/cleaved caspase 1 and Gsdmd/Gsdmd-N, while alleviating the neuron damage. In summary, overexpression of miR-96-5p suppresses pyroptosis and reduces brain damage in the acute phase of ischemic stroke, providing new insight into the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epilepsy is a widespread and chronic disease of the central nervous system caused by a variety of factors. Mitochondrial ferritin (FtMt) refers to ferritin located within the mitochondria that may protect neurons against oxidative stress by binding excess free iron ions in the cytoplasm. However, the potential role of FtMt in epilepsy remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether FtMt and its related mechanisms can regulate epilepsy by modulating ferroptosis. METHODS Three weeks after injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV) in the skull of adult male C57BL/6 mice, kainic acid (KA) was injected into the hippocampus to induce seizures. Primary hippocampal neurons were transfected with siRNA using a glutamate-mediated epilepsy model. After specific treatments, Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence, EEG recording, transmission electron microscopy, iron staining, silver staining, and Nissl staining were performed. RESULTS At different time points after KA injection, the expression of FtMt protein in the hippocampus of mice showed varying degrees of increase. Knockdown of the FtMt gene by AAV resulted in an increase in intracellular free iron levels and a decrease in the function of iron transport-related proteins, promoting neuronal ferroptosis and exacerbating epileptic brain activity in the hippocampus of seizure mice. Additionally, increasing the expression level of FtMt protein was achieved by AAV-mediated upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) gene in the hippocampus of seizure mice. CONCLUSIONS In epilepsy, Nrf2 modulates ferroptosis by involving the expression of FtMt and may be a potential therapeutic mechanism of neuronal injury after epilepsy. Targeting this relevant process for treatment may be a therapeutic strategy to prevent epilepsy.

Abstract
Excitability of hippocampal neurons in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) rats has not been well studied. The rat SAH model was applied in this study to explore the role of nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf-2) in the early brain injury of SAH. The neural excitability of CA1 pyramidal cells (PCs) in SAH rats was evaluated by using electrophysiology experiments. Ferroptosis and neuroinflammation were measured by ELISA, transmission electron microscopy and western blotting. Our results indicated that SAH induced neurological deficits, brain edema, ferroptosis, neuroinflammation and neural excitability in rats. Ferrostatin-1 treatment significantly decreased the expression and distribution of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TGF-β and TNF-α. Inhibiting ferroptosis by ferrostatin-1 can attenuate neural excitability, neurological deficits, brain edema and neuroinflammation in SAH rats. Inhibiting the expression of Nrf-2 significantly increased the neural excitability and the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TGF-β and TNF-α in Fer-1-treated SAH rats. Taken together, inhibiting the Nrf-2 induces early brain injury, brain edema and the inflammatory response with increasing of neural excitability in Fer-1-treated SAH rats. These results have indicated that inhibiting ferroptosis, neuroinflammation and neural excitability attenuates early brain injury after SAH by regulating the Nrf-2.

Abstract
The determination of liquid atomic structure and thermophysical properties is essential for investigating the physical characteristics and phase transitions of refractory alloys. However, due to the stringent experimental requirements and underdeveloped interatomic potentials, acquiring such information through experimentation or simulation remains challenging. Here, an active learning method incorporating a deep neural network was established to generate the interatomic potential of the Hf_{76}W_{24} refractory alloy. Then the achieved potential was applied to investigate the liquid atomic structure and thermophysical properties of this alloy over a wide temperature range. The simulation results revealed the distinctive bonding preferences among atoms, that is, Hf atoms exhibited a strong tendency for conspecific bonding, while W atoms preferred to form an interspecific bonding. The analysis of short-range order (SRO) in the liquid alloy revealed a significant proportion of icosahedral (ICO) and distorted ICO structures, which even exceeded 30% in the undercooled state. As temperature decreased, SRO structures demonstrated an increase in larger coordination number (CN) clusters and a decrease in smaller CNs. The alterations of the atomic structure indicated that the liquid alloy becomes more ordered, densely packed, and energetically favorable with decreasing temperature, consistent with the obtained fact: Both density and surface tension increase linearly. The simulated thermophysical properties were close to experimental values with minor deviations of 2.8% for density and 3.4% for surface tension. The consistency of the thermophysical properties further attested to the accuracy and reliability of active learning simulation.

Abstract
Previous research on tissue-engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) has mainly focused on the intima or adventitia unilaterally, neglecting the equal importance of both layers. Meanwhile, the efficacy of grafts modified with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) merely has been limited. Here, we developed a small-diameter graft that can gradually release VEGF and γ secretase inhibitor IX (DAPT) to enhance tissue regeneration and remodeling in both the intima and adventitia. In vitro, experiments revealed that the combination of VEGF and DAPT had superior pro-proliferation and pro-migration effects on endothelial cells. In vivo, the sustained release of VEGF and DAPT from the grafts resulted in improved regeneration and remodeling. Specifically, in the intima, faster endothelialization and regeneration of smooth muscle cells led to higher patency rates and better remodeling. In the adventitia, a higher density of neovascularization, M2 macrophages and fibroblasts promoted cellular ingrowth and replacement of the implant with autologous neo-tissue. Furthermore, western blot analysis confirmed that the regenerated ECs were functional and the effect of DAPT was associated with increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. Our study demonstrated that the sustained release of VEGF and DAPT from the graft can effectively promote tissue regeneration and remodeling in both the intima and adventitia. This development has the potential to significantly accelerate the clinical application of small-diameter TEBVs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is still a public health emergency of international concern. However, whether pregnancy and menopause impact the severity of COVID-19 remain unclear. AIM This study is performed to investigate the truth. DESIGN Study appraisal and synthesis follows PRISMA guideline. Meta-analysis is performed in random-effects model. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane database, Central, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO COVID-19 database and WHO-ICTRP are searched until 28 March 2023. RESULTS In total, 57 studies (4 640 275 COVID-19 women) were analyzed. Pregnant women were at a lower risk of severe COVID-19, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and disease mortality compared to those nonpregnant women with comparable comorbidities. In contrast, pregnant women with more prepregnancy comorbidities were at a higher risk of severe COVID-19, ICU admission and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). In addition, pregnant women with pregnancy complications had a significantly increased risk of severe COVID-19 and ICU admission. Menopause increased COVID-19 severity, IMV requirement and disease mortality. Hormone replacement therapy inhibited COVID-19 severity in postmenopausal women. Premenopausal and postmenopausal women had a lower chance of severe illness than age-matched men. The impact of pregnancy on COVID-19 severity was significant in Americans and Caucasians, whereas the effect of menopause on COVID-19 severity was only significant in Chinese. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy and menopause are protective and risk factors for severe COVID-19, respectively. The protective role of pregnancy on COVID-19 is minimal and could be counteracted or masked by prepregnancy or pregnancy comorbidities. The administration of estrogen and progesterone may prevent severe COVID-19.

Abstract
1. A new assessment method for duck footpad dermatitis (FPD) evaluation was developed, combining visual and histological characters using the images and sections of 400 ducks' feet at 340 d of age. All ducks were graded as G0 (healthy), G1 (mild), G2 (moderate) and G3 (severe) according to the degree of FPD.2. To reveal the potential biomarkers in serum related to duck FPD, non-targeted metabolomics and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were used to explore differential metabolites in each group.3. There were 57, 91 and 210 annotated differential metabolites in groups G1, G2 and G3 compared with G0, which meant that the severity of FPD increased in line with the number of metabolites. Four metabolites, L-phenylalanine, L-arginine, L-leucine and L-lysine, were considered potential biomarkers related to FPD.4. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the FPD was mainly involved in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway and amino acid metabolism. These are related to production metabolism and can affect the physiological activities of ducks, which might explain the decrease in production performance.

Abstract
Automated detection of intake gestures with wearable sensors has been a critical area of research for advancing our understanding and ability to intervene in people's eating behavior. Numerous algorithms have been developed and evaluated in terms of accuracy. However, ensuring the system is not only accurate in making predictions but also efficient in doing so is critical for real-world deployment. Despite the growing research on accurate detection of intake gestures using wearables, many of these algorithms are often energy inefficient, impeding on-device deployment for continuous and real-time monitoring of diet. This article presents a template-based optimized multicenter classifier that enables accurate intake gesture detection while maintaining low-inference time and energy consumption using a wrist-worn accelerometer and gyroscope. We designed an Intake Gesture Counter smartphone application (CountING) and validated the practicality of our algorithm against seven state-of-the-art approaches on three public datasets (In-lab FIC, Clemson, and OREBA). Compared with other methods, we achieved optimal accuracy (81.60% F1 score) and very low inference time (15.97 msec per 2.20-sec data sample) on the Clemson dataset, and among the top performing algorithms, we achieve comparable accuracy (83.0% F1 score compared with 85.6% in the top performing algorithm) but superior inference time (13.8x faster, 33.14 msec per 2.20-sec data sample) on the In-lab FIC dataset and comparable accuracy (83.40% F1 score compared with 88.10% in the top-performing algorithm) but superior inference time (33.9x faster, 16.71 msec inference time per 2.20-sec data sample) on the OREBA dataset. On average, our approach achieved a 25-hour battery lifetime (44% to 52% improvement over state-of-the-art approaches) when tested on a commercial smartwatch for continuous real-time detection. Our approach demonstrates an effective and efficient method, enabling real-time intake gesture detection using wrist-worn devices in longitudinal studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of different kinds of diseases and play important roles in various biological processes. Although numerous lncRNAs have been found, the functions of most lncRNAs and physiological/pathological significance are still in its infancy. Meanwhile, their expression patterns and regulation mechanisms are also far from being fully understood. METHODS In order to reveal functional lncRNAs and identify the key lncRNAs, we develop a new sparse independence component analysis (ICA) method to identify lncRNA-mRNA-miRNA expression co-modules based on the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) theory using the sample-matched lncRNA, mRNA and miRNA expression profiles. The expression data of the three RNA combined together is approximated sparsely to obtain the corresponding sparsity coefficient, and then it is decomposed by using ICA constraint optimization to obtain the common basis and modules. Subsequently, affine propagation clustering is used to perform cluster analysis on the common basis under multiple running conditions to obtain the co-modules for the selection of different RNA elements. RESULTS We applied sparse ICA to Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LIHC) dataset and the experiment results demonstrate that the proposed sparse ICA method can effectively discover biologically functional expression common modules. CONCLUSION It may provide insights into the function of lncRNAs and molecular mechanism of LIHC. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement-The results on LIHC dataset demonstrate that the proposed sparse ICA method can effectively discover biologically functional expression common modules, which may provide insights into the function of IncRNAs and molecular mechanism of LIHC.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the association of greenness exposure with waist circumference (WC) and central obesity in older adults in China. Methods: Based on the cross-sectional data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey in 2017-2018, 14 056 participants aged 65 years and over were included. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle, WC, and other information were collected through a questionnaire and physical examination. Based on the satellite monitoring data of moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) provided by NASA, the annual mean of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) within a radius of 1 000 meters was obtained as the measurement value of greenness exposure. Multivariate linear regression model, multivariate logistic regression model, and restricted cubic splines (RCS) model were used to analyze the association and dose-response relationship between greenness exposure and WC and central obesity in older adults in China. Results: A total of 14 056 participants were enrolled with a median age of 84.0 years [IQR: 75.0-94.0 years]. About 45.0% (6 330) of them were male and 48.6% (5 853) were illiterate. There were 10 964 (78.0%) participants from rural. The mean of WC was (84.4±10.8) cm. Central obesity accounted for 60.2% (8 465), and the NDVI range was (-0.06, 0.78). After adjusting for confounding factors, the multivariate linear regression model showed that the change value of WC in the urban group [β (95%CI):-0.49 (-0.93, -0.06)] was smaller than that in the rural [-0.78 (-0.98, -0.58)] for every 0.1 unit increase in NDVI (Pinteraction=0.022). Compared with the Q1 group in NDVI, WC of Q2 and Q3 groups in rural decreased, and the β (95%CI) values were-1.74 (-2.5, -0.98) and-2.78 (-3.55, -2.00), respectively. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of central obesity decreased for urban and rural older adults with an increase of 0.1 unit in NDVI, and the OR (95%CI) values were 0.87 (0.80, 0.95) and 0.86 (0.82, 0.89), respectively (Pinteraction=0.284). Compared with the Q1 group in NDVI, the risk of central obesity in the Q2 and Q3 groups in rural was lower, and the OR (95%CI) values were 0.68 (0.58, 0.80) and 0.57 (0.49, 0.68), respectively. The results of the multivariate regression model with RCS showed that there was a non-linear association of NDVI with WC (Pnonlinear=0.006) and central obesity (Pnonlinear=0.025). Conclusion: Greenness exposure is negatively associated with WC and central obesity in older adults in China.

Abstract
Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has always been a hot topic in the field of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer. More and more studies have confirmed that short- and long-term outcomes of RG are similar to those of laparoscopic gastrectomy. Robotic surgical systems have more advantages in specific regional lymph node dissection. More delicate operation can reduce intraoperative blood loss and the incidence of postoperative complications. Robotic surgical systems are also more ergonomically designed. However, there are also some problems such as high surgical cost, lack of tactile feedback and prolonged total operation time. In the future, robotic surgical system may be further developed in the direction of miniaturization, intelligence and modularity. At the same time, the robotic surgical system deeply integrated with artificial intelligence technology may realize the automation of some operation steps to some extent.

Abstract
Background Cognitive behavioral therapy–based interventions are effective in reducing prenatal stress, which can have severe adverse health effects on mothers and newborns if unaddressed. Predicting next-day physiological or perceived stress can help to inform and enable pre-emptive interventions for a likely physiologically and perceptibly stressful day. Machine learning models are useful tools that can be developed to predict next-day physiological and perceived stress by using data collected from the previous day. Such models can improve our understanding of the specific factors that predict physiological and perceived stress and allow researchers to develop systems that collect selected features for assessment in clinical trials to minimize the burden of data collection. Objective The aim of this study was to build and evaluate a machine-learned model that predicts next-day physiological and perceived stress by using sensor-based, ecological momentary assessment (EMA)–based, and intervention-based features and to explain the prediction results. Methods We enrolled pregnant women into a prospective proof-of-concept study and collected electrocardiography, EMA, and cognitive behavioral therapy intervention data over 12 weeks. We used the data to train and evaluate 6 machine learning models to predict next-day physiological and perceived stress. After selecting the best performing model, Shapley Additive Explanations were used to identify the feature importance and explainability of each feature. Results A total of 16 pregnant women enrolled in the study. Overall, 4157.18 hours of data were collected, and participants answered 2838 EMAs. After applying feature selection, 8 and 10 features were found to positively predict next-day physiological and perceived stress, respectively. A random forest classifier performed the best in predicting next-day physiological stress (F1 score of 0.84) and next-day perceived stress (F1 score of 0.74) by using all features. Although any subset of sensor-based, EMA-based, or intervention-based features could reliably predict next-day physiological stress, EMA-based features were necessary to predict next-day perceived stress. The analysis of explainability metrics showed that the prolonged duration of physiological stress was highly predictive of next-day physiological stress and that physiological stress and perceived stress were temporally divergent. Conclusions In this study, we were able to build interpretable machine learning models to predict next-day physiological and perceived stress, and we identified unique features that were highly predictive of next-day stress that can help to reduce the burden of data collection.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one kind of life-threatening stroke, which leads to severe brain damage. Pyroptosis plays a critical role in early brain injury (EBI) after SAH. Previous reports suggest that SAH-induced brain edema, cell apoptosis, and neuronal injury could be suppressed by dexmedetomidine (Dex). In this study, we used a rat model of SAH to investigate the effect of Dex on pyroptosis in EBI after SAH and to determine the mechanisms involved. Pyroptosis was found in microglia in EBI after SAH. Dex significantly alleviated microglia pyroptosis via reducing pyroptosis executioner GSDMD and inhibited the release of proinflammatory cytokines induced by SAH. Furthermore, the reduction of GSDMD by Dex was abolished by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that Dex reduces microglia pyroptosis in EBI after SAH via the activation of the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway.

Abstract
Most effector T cells will undergo programmed apoptosis after an immune response and some of them may become memory T cells. According to the distribution and functional status, the memory T cells can be divided into effector central memory T cells (TCM), effector memory T cells (TEM) and tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) cells. TRM cells, including CD4+ TRM and CD8+ TRM cells, colonize various barrier surfaces and are no longer involved in lymphocyte recycling, closely monitored for local perturbations in homeostasis throughout the body as a critical component of the first defense line. When pathogenic microorganisms invade the body, TRM cells can quickly produce a defense response to initiate innate immunity and adaptive immunity by producing cytokines or killer molecules to resist viral and bacterial infections. In addition, TRM cells are also involved in cancer surveillance and play an essential role in maintaining cancer-immune equilibrium. The high frequency of TRM cells in tumor tissues often means favorable survival for patients. The latest research proves that TRM cells also play an important role in vaccine development and pathological features of COVID-19. This article will summarize the biological functions of TRM cells and aims at providing references for further research on their mechanism and for targeting the best treatment of clinical disease.

Abstract
Existing single-axis acoustic levitation devices with an axisymmetric reflector can manipulate particles in a variety of ways. However, the mechanism by which particles are suspended in a single-axis acoustic levitator with a non-axisymmetric reflector remains poorly understood. This work addresses this issue by proposing a novel single-axis ultrasonic levitator design that includes a flat plane emitter and a screw-plane reflector. The node positions of the standing wave formed in this levitator were predicted by calculating the Gor'kov potential according to a numerical model. The analysis results demonstrate that the nodes were distributed off-axis and their positions varied in a spiral manner when changing the distance between the emitter and reflector. Corresponding experiments based on the proposed design were also conducted, and the results indicated that the distance changes between the emitter and reflector could induce some spiral trajectories of a polyethylene-foam particle placed in the ultrasonic field. Moreover, the trajectory of the suspended particle was found to distribute along a conical surface centered on the central axis of this device. This work provides a new approach for ultrasonic particle manipulation by changing the geometry of the reflector.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Previous studies have shown that metformin exerts anti-inflammatory effects and promotes functional recovery in various central nervous system diseases. We designed this study to investigate the effects of metformin on EBI after SAH. Our results indicate that the use of metformin alleviates the brain edema, behavioral disorders, cell apoptosis, and neuronal injury caused by SAH. The SAH-induced NLRP3-associated inflammatory response and the activation of microglia are also suppressed by metformin. However, we found that the blockade of AMPK with compound C weakened the neuroprotective effects of metformin on EBI. Collectively, our findings indicate that metformin exerts its neuroprotective effects by inhibiting neuroinflammation in an AMPK-dependent manner, by modulating the production of NLRP3-associated proinflammatory factors and the activation of microglia.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the independent risk factors of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early gastric cancer, and to use nomogram to construct a prediction model for above LNM. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Inclusion criteria: (1) primary early gastric cancer as stage pT1 confirmed by postoperative pathology; (2) complete clinicopathological data. Exclusion criteria: (1) patients with advanced gastric cancer, stump gastric cancer or history of gastrectomy; (2) early gastric cancer patients confirmed by pathology after neoadjuvant chemotherapy; (3) other types of gastric tumors, such as lymphoma, neuroendocrine tumor, stromal tumor, etc.; (4) primary tumors of other organs with gastric metastasis. According to the above criteria, 1633 patients with early gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy at the Department of General Surgery of the Chinese PLA General Hospital First Medical Center from December 2005 to December 2020 were enrolled as training set, meanwhile 239 patients with early gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy at the Department of General Surgery of the Chinese PLA General Hospital Fourth Medical Center from December 2015 to December 2020 were enrolled as external validation set. Risk factors of LNM in early gastric cancer were identified by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A nomogram prediction model was established with significant factors screened by multivariate analysis. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used for assessing the predictive value of the model. Calibration curve was drawn for external validation. Results: Among 1633 patients in training set, the mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 20 (13-28), and 209 patients (12.8%) had lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that gender, resection range, tumor location, tumor morphology, lymph node clearance, vascular invasion, lymphatic cancer thrombus, tumor length, tumor differentiation, microscopic presence of signet ring cells and depth of tumor invasion were associated with LNM (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that females, tumor morphology as ulcer type, vascular invasion, lymphatic cancer thrombus, tumor length≥3 cm, deeper invasion of mucosa, and poor differentiation were independent risk factors for LNM in early gastric cancers (all P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that AUC of training set was 0.818 (95%CI: 0.790-0.847) and AUC of external validation set was 0.765 (95%CI: 0.688-0.843). The calibration curve showed that the LNM probability predicted by nomogram was consistent with the actual situation (C-index: 0.818 in training set and 0.765 in external validation set). Conclusions: Females, tumor morphology as ulcer type, vascular invasion, lymphatic cancer thrombus, tumor length≥3 cm, deeper invasion of mucosa and poor differentiation are independent risk factors for LNM of early gastric cancer. The establishment of a nomogram prediction model for LNM in early gastric cancer has great diagnostic value and can provide reference for treatment selection.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the influence factors of short-term recurrence after complete surgical resection of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Methods: The clinicopathological data of retroperitoneal liposarcoma at Department of General Surgery, the First Medical Center, People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 1, 2000 to January 31, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 60 males and 31 females, aged (52.1±9.9) years (range: 30 to 84 years). Tumor recurrence within 12 months after complete resection was defined as short-term recurrence, and tumor recurrence more than 12 months was defined as non-short-term recurrence. The t test, rank-sum test, χ2 test and Fisher exact test were conducted for inter-group comparison. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent influence factors for the short-term recurrence of retroperitoneal liposarcoma after complete resection. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to calculate the recurrence-free survival, and the Log-rank test was adopted for the comparison between the groups. Results: The univariate analysis results showed that irregular tumor morphology, multiple pathological subtypes, pathological scores>3, and multiple primary tumors are influence factors for short-term recurrence after complete resection of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (χ2: 4.422 to 7.773, all P<0.05). Regression analysis of the above risk factors showed that multiple primary tumors was the independent risk factor (OR=2.918, 95%CI: 1.127 to 7.556, P=0.027). In the short-term recurrence group, Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that patients with multiple primary tumors had a shorter median recurrence time than patients with unifocal tumor (6 months vs. 9 months, P=0.028). Conclusions: Multiple primary tumor is an independent risk factor for short-term recurrence after complete resection of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. It suggests that the frequency of follow-up after surgery should be increased for such patients.

Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 7 patients of multiple myeloma (MM) with initial manifestation of bleeding and coagulation abnormalities were performed. Clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations were collected. The activity of coagulation factors was measured before the treatment. Single factor X deficiency was seen in one patient. Two cases had factor Ⅶ deficiency, while four other patients had multiple factor deficiency. The time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis ranged from 2 to 10 months. After anti-MM treatment started and plasma or coagulation factors were transfused, the prolonged coagulation time returned to normal from 28-84 days. Most of these patients presented large, deep and multiple sites of hematoma, which caused concerns of bone marrow puncture and may direct to other differential diagnoses. This is helpful to improve physicians' understanding of the special clinical characteristics in MM patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the rationality and effectiveness of basic laparoscopic training under 5A teaching mode. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The teaching records of 70 trainees who received basic laparoscopic traning at the Laparoscopic Surgical Training Base in Chinese PLA General Hospital from July to December 2019 were analyzed. All the trainees participating in the laparoscopy training had obtained the national practicing physician certificates, including 12 junior physicians of our center, 9 intermediate physicians of our center, 19 advanced physicians, 13 postgraduate students, 8 doctoral students, and 9 surgical standardized training physicians. A random number table method was used to divide all the trainees into two groups: the traditional teaching group or the 5A teaching group (35 people in each group). In the traditional teaching group, the training of 4 modules of " precise beans, quincuncial piles, ring positioning and knot-tying suture" modules according to a fixed sequence and schedule was carried out. Each module had a learning time of 8 hours. In the 5A teaching group, the training started from five dimensions of analysis, aim, accomplishment, appraise and advance. Before conducting each stage of training, the actual operation ability of the trainees was tested, each class hour was designed individually, accurate teaching was conducted to the trainees, the ability of the trainees was evaluated dynamically, and the previous steps were cycled periodically based on class hours. The operating time and pass rate of trainees of two groups in the basic operation module of laparoscopy were statistically analyzed, and a hierarchical analysis of related influencing factors was conducted. Results: The time of above modules before training in the 5A teaching group and the traditional teaching group was similar (all P>0.05). After definitive training, the time required for trainees in 5A teaching group and traditional teaching group to complete the 4 modules was shortened to varying degrees. Compared to traditional teaching group, 5A teaching group spent less time in completing each project [precise beans: (63.2±10.1) seconds vs. (83.6±18.7) seconds, quincuncial piles: (56.2±7.3) seconds vs. (101.4±31.7) seconds, ring positioning: (84.2±13.7) seconds vs. (127.3±28.5) seconds, knot-tying suture: (263.2±41.8) seconds vs.(428.8±95.2) seconds, all P<0.05], and had higher pass rates [precise beans: 97.1% (34/35) vs. 80.0% (28/35), quincuncial piles: 91.4% (32/35) vs.71.4% (25/35), ring positioning: 100.0% (35/35) vs. 82.9% (29/35), knot-tying suture: 77.1% (27/35) vs. 60.0% (21/35), all P<0.05]. Among the junior trainees (junior physicians of our center, postgraduate students, doctoral students, and standardized surgical training physicians) and intermediate trainees (intermediate physicians of our center and advanced physicians), the 5A teaching group completed 3 modules (quincuncial piles, ring positioning and knot-tying suture) faster than the traditional teaching group [junior trainees: quincuncial piles (76.4±12.4) seconds vs. (139.8±41.6) seconds, ring positioning (92.2±20.5) seconds vs. (131.3±28.4) seconds, knot-tying suture (293.8±66.7) seconds vs. (444.3±103.3) seconds; intermediate trainees: quincuncial piles (51.4±5.9) seconds vs. (94.7±8.6) seconds, ring positioning (63.9±13.5) seconds vs. (87.5±18.6) seconds, knot-tying suture (210.1±35.6) seconds vs. (367.5±54.9) seconds, all P<0.05]. Conclusion: 5A teaching mode can acheive better training results compared with the traditional teaching mode in basic laparoscopic training, and is worthy of further popularization and application.

Background Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Following stroke, there is secondary neuroinflammation that promotes further injury. Identifying the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) involved in neuroinflammation after cerebral ischemic stroke will promote the discovery of potential therapeutic targets. Methods We identified differentially expressed genes from genome-wide RNA-seq profiles of mice with focal ischemia using Gene Ontology Term Enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Gene Set Enrichment analyses. Immune cell infiltration deconvolution, protein-protein interaction network construction, and co-expression network analyses were also used to screen lncRNAs. In further experiments, lncRNA Neat1 knockdown animal models were developed by intraventricular injection of the antisense oligonucleotide before performing middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to measure the level of cytokines. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to observe the changes in morphology. Results Enrichment analysis revealed that differential mRNAs induced neuroinflammation after MCAO. Immune deconvolution showed that the proportion of microglia gradually increased while monocytes decreased within 24 h. We identified six hub lncRNAs (Neat1, Gm10827, Trp53cor1, Mir670hg, C730002L08Rik, and Mir181a-hg) that were highly correlated with activated-microglia mRNAs (cor > 0.8). We found that Neat1 had the highest correlation coefficient with pro-inflammatory factor mRNA levels. In vivo experiments demonstrated that Neat1 had abnormally high expression after MCAO. Knockdown of Neat1 could significantly alleviate brain damage by reducing the number of activated microglia and reducing their release of proinflammatory cytokines. Conclusion We identified inflammation-associated lncRNA Neat1 as crucial, which means it is a potential target for ischemic stroke treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct an ovarian cancer cell line stably overexpressing XAF1 gene and observe the effects of XAF1 gene overexpression on proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and sensitivity to paclitaxel of the cells. OBJECTIVE Ovarian cancer A2780 cells were transfected with the plasmids pcDNA3.1(+) or pcDNA3.1(+)-XAF1, and the cells stably Over expressing XAF1 (A2780/XAF1 cells) were screened using G418. Cell clone formation assay and CCK8 assay were used to evaluate the changes in proliferation and paclitaxel sensitivity of the transfected cells, and cell cycle and apoptosis of the cells were analyzed using flow cytometry. OBJECTIVE We successfully obtained A2780/XAF1 cells stably overexpressing XAF1, which exhibited no significant changes in cell morphology. Compared with the negative control cells (A2780/NC), A2780/XAF1 cells had lowered clone formation ability (P=0.0016) and attenuated proliferative activity on the first (P=0.009) and third (P=0.0035) days after cell adherence with also a significantly increased percentage of cells in G2-M phase (P < 0.001). A2780/XAF1 cells showed significantly higher apoptosis rates than A2780/NC cells in the absence of apoptotic stimulation, in serum-free culture or following paclitaxel induction (P < 0.001). The proliferative activity of A2780/XAF1 cells was significantly lower than that of A2780/NC cells after exposure to different paclitaxel concentrations (P < 0.001). The half inhibitory concentration of paclitaxel was significantly lower in A2780/XAF1 than in A2780/NC cells. OBJECTIVE Overexpression of XAF1 significantly inhibits the proliferation, induces cell cycle arrest, promotes apoptosis, and increases paclitaxel sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells.

Abstract
Background:Treat-to-target in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been proposed for 7 years and several recommendations were developed [1]. In these recommendations, prevention of flares should be a realistic target. Meanwhile, ‘remission’ or ‘low disease activity’ was recommended as the treatment target and minimizing glucocorticoids (GC) dose or withdrawal if possible was suggested in the maintenance treatment. However, would target therapy and GC tapering/withdrawal influence disease flare?Objectives:To investigate the frequency and determinants of disease flare, especially the influence of target therapy as well as GC tapering on flare in Chinese lupus patients.Methods:The baseline and follow-up data of all consecutive patients in a prospective longitudinal lupus cohort from January 2017 to June 2020 were collected. The lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) was defined as in Golder et al., 2019[2]. The criteria for remission were from DORIS definitions [3]. Flare was assessed using the SELENA-SLEDAI flare index [4].Results:We enrolled 185 patients with disease duration at recruitment of 2.3 (0.8–7.7) years. During the 26.2 (12.5-34.5) months of follow-up, 73 (39.5%) patients experienced 95 flares, including 70 mild/moderate and 25 severe flares. The incidence of flare per patient-year was 0.27. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that compared with those who never achieved LLDAS or DORIS, the patients who achieved the target at least once had a higher flare free survival rate; meanwhile, the patients with prednisone withdrawn had significantly lower flare free rate compared with those with small dose of GC maintained (≤7.5mg/d) (Figure 1A), but among the patients with different prednisone maintain doses (7.5~5mg, 5~2.5mg, and ≤2.5mg) there was not significant difference (Figure 1B). Cox regression analysis showed that younger age at disease onset and lower Complement 3 (C3) level at recruitment were independent risk factors for flare and achieving LLDAS or DORIS ≥50% of visits was independent protective factor (Table 1).Conclusion:In this Chinese prospective SLE cohort, age at disease onset, C3 level at recruitment and therapeutic target achieving influenced disease flare independently and significantly. GC tapering in appropriate patients and with appropriate pace did not increase the flare rate, but prednisone withdrawal may induce more disease exacerbation, which needs to be confirmed by large prospective studies.References:[1]Van Vollenhoven R F, et al.

Abstract
Function-preserving gastrectomy (FPG) can be regarded as a concrete embodiment of precise treatment for early gastric cancer. Digestive tract reconstruction plays an important role in FPG. The aims of reconstruction mainly include the preservation of normal digestive tract and digestive function, the reconstruction of pivotal anatomical structure, and the consequent improvement of postoperative quality of life. We establish a new classification of digestive tract reconstruction based on the different role of digestive tract reconstructions in FPG for early gastric cancer, meanwhile we briefly summarize current progress and elucidate surgical indications. We hope that it can provide theoretical reference for surgeons to choose the appropriate procedure of digestive tract reconstruction after FPG.

Abstract
Inflammation is typically related to dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that leads to early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Resolvin D1 (RVD1), a lipid mediator derived from docosahexaenoic acid, possesses anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of RVD1 in SAH. A Sprague-Dawley rat model of SAH was established through endovascular perforation. RVD1was injected through the femoral vein at 1 and 12 h after SAH induction. To further explore the potential neuroprotective mechanism, a formyl peptide receptor two antagonist (WRW4) was intracerebroventricularly administered 1 h after SAH induction. The expression of endogenous RVD1 was decreased whereas A20 and NLRP3 levels were increased after SAH. An exogenous RVD1 administration increased RVD1 concentration in brain tissue, and improved neurological function, neuroinflammation, BBB disruption, and brain edema. RVD1 treatment upregulated the expression of A20, occludin, claudin-5, and zona occludens-1, as well as downregulated nuclear factor-κBp65, NLRP3, matrix metallopeptidase 9, and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression. Furthermore, RVD1 inhibited microglial activation and neutrophil infiltration and promoted neutrophil apoptosis. However, the neuroprotective effects of RVD1 were abolished by WRW4. In summary, our findings reveal that RVD1 provides beneficial effects against inflammation-triggered BBB dysfunction after SAH by modulating A20 and NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
Objective: At present, there are few studies focusing on the factors short-term complications after total gastrectomy in patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The purpose of this study is to provide a reference for clinical prevention of complications in these patients. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Case inclusion criteria: (1) clinical stage II-III gastric cancer diagnosed by preoperative gastroscopy, pathology, abdominal CT, EUS or PET-CT; (2) evaluated suitable for NACT by MDT discussion; (3) no previous history of other malignant tumors and no concurrent tumor; (4) undergoing total gastrectomy+ D2 lymphadenectomy after NACT. Exclusion criteria: (1) age <18 or >80 years old; (2) severe concurrent diseases, and ASA classification>grade III; (3) stump gastric cancer or history of gastric surgery; (4) incomplete clinicopathological data. According to the above criteria, clinicopathological data of 140 advanced gastric cancer patients who underwent total gastrectomy after NACT in Chinese PLA General Hospital between June 2012 and June 2019 were collected, including 109 males and 31 females with mean age of (56.9±11.4) years and body mass indey (BMI) of (23.3±3.1) kg/m(2). Logistic analysis was used to analyze the relationship between postoperative complication and clinicopathological data. Factors in univariate analysis with P<0.05 were included in the multivariate analysis. Results: Postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ II) occurred in 35 cases (25.0%) and severe complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ IIIa) occurred in 4 cases (2.9%), including 1 case of esophago-jejunal anastomotic leakage, 1 case of vena cava thrombosis, 1 case of pleural effusion, 1 case of septic shock during perioperative days resulting in death. Univariate analysis showed that BMI (P=0.011), cycle of NACT (P=0.027), tumor diameter (P=0.021), and vascular invasion (P=0.033) were associated with postoperative complication within 30 days, while open/laparoscopic total gastrectomy were not associated with postoperative complication (P=0.926). Multivariate analysis revealed that BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2) (OR=3.294, 95% CI: 1.343-8.079, P=0.009) and < 4 cycles of NACT (OR=2.922, 95% CI: 1.217-7.016, P=0.016) were independent risk factors for postoperative complication. The 3-year overall survival rates of patients with or without complication were 54.4% and 64.0%, respectively (P=0.395), and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 47.4% and 52.9%, respectively (P=0.587). Conclusions: Higher BMI and fewer cycles of NACT are independent risk factors of postoperative complication in advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing total gastrectomy after NACT. No obvious association is found between postoperative complication and surgical approaches.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been widely accepted as a detrimental factor in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-induced early brain injury (EBI), which is eminently related to poor neurologic function outcome. Previous studies have revealed that enhancement of heat shock protein 22 (hsp22) under conditions of stress is a friendly mediator of mitochondrial homeostasis, oxidative stress and apoptosis, thus accelerating neurological recovery. However, no study has confirmed whether hsp22 attenuates mitochondrial stress and apoptosis in the setting of SAH-induced EBI. Our results indicated that endogenous hsp22, p-AMPK/AMPK, PGC1α, TFAM, Nrf1 and Drp1 were significantly upregulated in cortical neurons in response to SAH, accompanied by neurologic impairment, brain edema, neuronal degeneration, lower level of mtDNA and ATP, mitochondria-cytosol translocation of cytochrome c, oxidative injury and caspase 3-involved mitochondrial apoptosis. However, exogenous hsp22 maintained neurological function, reduced brain edema, improved oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis, these effects were highly dependent on PGC1α-related mitochondrial biogenesis/fission, as evidenced by co-application of PGC1α siRNA. Furthermore, we demonstrated that blockade of AMPK with dorsomorphin also compromised the neuroprotective actions of hsp22, along with the alterations of PGC1α and its associated pathway molecules. These data revealed that hsp22 exerted neuroprotective effects by salvaging mitochondrial function in an AMPK-PGC1α dependent manner, which modulates TFAM/Nrf1-induced mitochondrial biogenesis with positive feedback and DRP1-triggered mitochondrial apoptosis with negative feedback, further reducing oxidative stress and brain injury. Boosting the biogenesis and repressing excessive fission of mitochondria by hsp22 may be an efficient treatment to relieve SAH-elicited EBI. Hsp22 is notably upregulated in neurons at 24 h after SAH. Hsp22 boosts the NRF1/TFAM-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis. Hsp22 represses DRP1-sparked mitochondrial apoptosis. AMPK-PGC1α pathway is involved in hsp22-mediated neuroprotection after SAH. Modulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and fission may be efficient for treating SAH.

Abstract
Objective: The storage of medical data has been digitized in China, but a unified and structured model has not yet been established. The standardized collection, analysis and sorting of tumor clinical data is the foundation of improving the standard of tumor diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, establishing a database platform of gastric cancer (GC) is an urgent need to integrate data resources and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment. The population economics indexes of GC patients in the last 20 years are analyzed in a single-center GC database. The medical records were structured by natural language processing technology. Authors aim to investigate the clinical pathological characteristics, staging and survival of the GC patients with gastrectomy. Method: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Clinicopatological data of patients receiving surgical treatment from 2000 to 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to the gastric cancer TNM staging guidelines from the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (UICC/AJCC) 8th edition, the structured gastric cancer clinicopathological data were re-evaluated and interpreted. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used to compare survival rate among different groups of patients with complete follow-up data of 2010-2016. Results: Clinicopathological data of 13 492 GC patients were enrolled. The ratio of men to women in the whole group was 3.25:1.00, including 10 320 men with average onset age of 59.68 years, which was basically stable in recent 20 years, and 3172 women with average onset age of 55.93 years, which presented a trend of average increasement of 0.17 year per year. The average hospitalization duration for GC patients showed a decreasing trend year by year, which was 13.87 days in 2019. Average hospitalization cost for GC patients was increasing year by year, with a peak of 83 600 CNY in 2017 and 75 400 CNY in 2019. By natural language identification and exclusion criteria screening, a total of 7218 GC patients obtained structured clinicopathological information. Analysis on clinicopathological characteristics of 3626 GC patients in the last 5 years showed that the average diameter of tumor was (4.44±2.61) cm; the average number of harvested lymph node was 24.30±13.29; the proportion of surgical methods were as following: open surgery in 1398 cases (38.55%), laparoscopic surgery in 1856 cases (51.19%) and robotic surgery in 372 cases (10.26%). The postoperative pathological stage was as following: IA in 658 cases (18.15%), IB in 318 cases (8.77%), IIA in 559 cases (15.42%), IIB in 543 (14.98%), III A in 632 (17.43%), III B in 612 cases (16.88%), III C in 276 cases (7.61%), and IV in 28 cases (0.77%). Complete follow-up data of 3431 patients from 2010 to 2016 were presented. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 82%, 69% and 60%, respectively for the whole group. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery were 83%, 70% and 64%, respectively, and for those undergoing open surgery were 81%, 67% and 56%, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.109). The 5-year survival rate of GC patients with different AJCC stages was as following: 88% in IA, 77% in IB, 70% in II A, 62% in II B, 44% in III A, 32% in III B, 22% in III C, and 17% in IV. Conclusion: This study provides basic data for the establishment of comprehensive diagnosis and treatment model of multicenter, shedding light on the improvement of comprehensive treatment of GC in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effectiveness of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is limited with adverse events. Caspofungin, by inhibiting the cyst form of Pneumocystis jirovecii, may be an alternative therapy for PCP. However, the availability of clinical data about caspofungin combined with TMP/SMZ in the treatment of PCP in HIV-infected patients is limited. Thus, we aimed to examine the clinical effectiveness and safety of caspofungin combined with TMP/SMZ as a first-line therapy for moderate-to-severe PCP in HIV-infected patients. METHODS From January 2017 to December 2019, data of HIV-infected patients with moderate-to-severe PCP who received either TMP/SMZ alone or caspofungin combined with TMP/SMZ as first-line therapy were retrospectively reviewed to assess the effectiveness and safety of each regimen. The Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank test were used for survival analysis. RESULTS A total of 278 patients met the criteria. The overall positive response rate of PCP treatment was 48.92%, and the overall all-cause in-hospital mortality rate was 33.09%. Patients who received combination therapy consisting of caspofungin and TMP/SMZ had a better positive response rate (59.44% vs. 37.78%, P < 0.001) and lower all-cause in-hospital mortality rate (24.48% vs. 42.22%, P = 0.003). Also, patients who received combination therapy had higher survival rate during a hospital stay (75.52% vs. 57.78%, P = 0.004), and those who received longer combination therapy were more likely to have higher survival rate (P = 0.042). We found that age (P = 0.019), CD4 cell count (P = 0.001) and therapeutic regimen (P = 0.002) were significant risk factors for all-cause in-hospital mortality rate in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, only CD4 cell count and therapeutic regimen were statistically significant factors associated with all-cause in-hospital mortality rate. Patients with a CD4 count of > 30 cells/µL and patients who received combination therapy consisting of caspofungin and TMP/SMZ were more likely to survive from PCP (P = 0.011 and P = 0.002, respectively). There were no additional severe adverse events caused by adding caspofungin. CONCLUSIONS For HIV-infected patients with moderate-to-severe PCP, combination therapy with caspofungin and TMP/SMZ is an effective and promising first-line therapy with no greater number of adverse events compared with TMP/SMZ monotherapy. Patients who received caspofungin had better positive response rates and lower all-cause in-hospital mortality rates. Also, we recommend early initiation of caspofungin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) was in common in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and associated with unfavorable outcomes. We aimed to compare the clinical observations and outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected patients with or without CVD. METHODS Patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were clinically evaluated at Wuhan Seventh People's Hospital, Wuhan, China, from 23 January to 14 March 2020. Demographic data, laboratory findings, comorbidities, treatments and outcomes were collected and analyzed in COVID-19 patients with and without CVD. RESULTS Among 596 patients with COVID-19, 215 (36.1%) of them with CVD. Compared with patients without CVD, these patients were significantly older (66 vs. 52 years) and had higher proportion of men (52.5% vs. 43.8%). Complications in the course of disease were more common in patients with CVD, included acute respiratory distress syndrome (22.8% vs. 8.1%), malignant arrhythmias (3.7% vs. 1.0%) including ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation, acute coagulopathy(7.9% vs. 1.8%) and acute kidney injury (11.6% vs. 3.4%). The rate of glucocorticoid therapy (36.7% vs. 25.5%), Vitamin C (23.3% vs. 11.8%), mechanical ventilation (21.9% vs. 7.6%), intensive care unit admission (12.6% vs. 3.7%) and mortality (16.7% vs. 4.7%) were higher in patients with CVD (both P < 0.05). The multivariable Cox regression models showed that older age (≥65 years old) (HR 3.165, 95% CI 1.722-5.817) and patients with CVD (HR 2.166, 95% CI 1.189-3.948) were independent risk factors for death. CONCLUSIONS CVD are independent risk factors for COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 patients with CVD were more severe and had higher mortality rate, early intervention and vigilance should be taken.

Abstract
Inflammation is known to play an important role in early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (Tim-3) has emerged as a critical regulator of adaptive and innate immune responses, and has been identified to play a vital role in certain inflammatory diseases; The present study explored the effect of Tim-3 on inflammatory responses and detailed mechanism in EBI following SAH. We investigated the effects of Tim-3 on SAH models established by endovascular puncture method in Sprague–Dawley rats. The present studies revealed that SAH induced a significant inflammatory response and significantly increased Tim-3 expression. Tim-3-AAV administration aggravated neurocyte apoptosis, brain edema, blood-brain barrier permeability, and neurological dysfunction; significantly inhibited Nrf2 expression; and increased HMGB1 expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-17, and IL-18. However, Tim-3 siRNA or NK252 administration abolished the pro-inflammatory effects of Tim-3. Our results indicate a function for Tim-3 as a molecular player that links neuroinflammation and brain damage after SAH. We reveal that Tim-3 overexpression deteriorates neuroinflammatory and neurocyte apoptosis after subarachnoid hemorrhage through the Nrf2/HMGB1 signaling pathway in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early brain injury (EBI) refers to acute brain injury during the first 72 h after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which is one of the major causes of poor prognosis after SAH. Here, we investigated the effect and the related mechanism of TSG-6 on EBI after SAH. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Sprague-Dawley rat model of SAH was developed by the endovascular perforation method. TSG-6 (5μg) was administered by an intraventricular injection within 1.5 h after SAH. The effects of TSG-6 on EBI were assessed by neurological score, brain water content (BWC) and TUNEL staining. Immunofluorescence staining was used to assay NF-κB/p-NF-κB expression in microglia. Protein expression levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2), Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved-caspase-3 were measured to investigate the potential mechanism. The enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed using commercially available kits. RESULTS The results showed that TSG-6 treatment alleviated the neurobehavioral dysfunction and reduced BWC and the number of TUNEL-positive neurons in EBI after SAH. TSG-6 decreased the ROS level and enhanced the enzyme activity of SOD and GSH-Px after SAH. Furthermore TSG-6 inhibited the NF-κB activation, increased the protein expression levels of HO-1 and Bcl-2 and decreased the expression levels of Nox2, Bax, and cleaved-caspase-3. The administration of TSG-6 siRNA abolished the protective effects of TSG-6 on EBI after SAH. CONCLUSION We found that TSG-6 attenuated oxidative stress and apoptosis in EBI after SAH partly by inhibiting NF-κB and activating HO-1 pathway in brain tissue.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is common in tuberculosis (TB) and may be implicated in the etiology of the disease and in its clinical course. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between leptin, inflammatory markers and VD status in TB patients, stratified for presence or absence of diabetes mellitus (DM). Two hundred ninety-nine TB patients were recruited from October 2015 to August 2016. Also, 91 normal controls were included. The information including socio-demographics, dietary intake and living habits was obtained by face-to-face interview. Serum concentrations of leptin and TNF-α, CRP and IL-6 were compared between TB patients with and without severe VDD (SVDD). Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the association between TNF-α, leptin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). A significantly higher prevalence of VDD and SVDD was observed in TB patients compared with normal controls (93.0% vs 70.3%, 65.9% vs 3.3% respectively). Concentration of leptin was significantly lower, while TNF-α higher in TB patients with SVDD compared to those without (p<0.05). After adjustment for confounders, leptin was positively associated with 25(OH)D (r=0.210, p=0.002) with similar correlation in TB patients with DM (r=0.240, p=0.020). A negative association between TNF-α and 25(OH)D was observed (r=-0.197, p=0.003), which was significant only in the subgroup without DM (r=-0.304, p=0.001). Our findings indicate that a higher VD status in TB patients may be related to higher immune activity and less serious tissue damage, and that this relation is different according to presence or absence of DM co-morbidity.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the surgical options for splenic lymph node dissection in patients with advanced gastric cancer undergoing radical total gastrectomy, and to evaluate the sentinel effect of No. 4s lymph node on splenic lymph node metastasis. Methods: A prospective, single-center, randomized and controlled study was carried out (Trial registration, No.NCT02980861). Enrollment criteria: (1) >18 years old and <65 years old; (2) gastric adenocarcinoma locating in the proximal or corpus; (3) preoperative clinical staging as cT2-4aN0-3M0; (4) D2 radical total gastrectomy feasible judged before operation; (5) physical ability score 0 to 1; (6) I to III of ASA classification. Pregnant or lactating women, patients with severe mental illness or previous history of upper abdominal surgery, those suffered from other malignant tumors in the past 5 years, or heart and lung system diseases judged to affect surgery before operation, those receiving preoperative chemotherapy, radiotherapy or targeted therapies, and distant metastases being found during surgery were excluded. According to above criteria, 222 patients at The First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from December 2016 to December 2017 were enrolled prospectively and were randomly divided into the laparoscopic splenic hilar lymph node dissection group (laparoscopic group, n=114) and the open splenic hilar lymph node dissection group (open group, n=108). The result of rapid frozen immunohistochemistry of harvested No.4s lymph nodes was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of sentinel effect on splenic hilar lymph node metastasis. The surgical parameters, postoperative recovery parameters, and complication rates were compared between the two groups. Results: There were 80 males and 34 females in the lapascopic group with a mean age of (56.1±10.2) years, and 69 males and 39 females in the open group with a mean age of (58.4±10.9) years. There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). Total blood loss was less in the laparoscopic group [(96.3±82.4) ml vs. (116.6±101.9) ml, t=1.124, P<0.001], and the amount of bleeding from the splenic hilar lymph nodes dissected was also less than that in the open group [(25.3±17.8) ml vs. (59.5±36.4) ml, t=1.172, P<0.001]. However, the operation time, the time of splenic hilar lymph node, the number of lymph node dissected and number of splenic hilar lymph node dissected were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). As compared to the open group, the laparoscopic group had shorter time to the first flatus [(1.3±1.2) days vs. (1.6±1.5) days, t=1.665, P=0.021], shorter time to fluid diet [(4.6±1.4) days vs. (4.9 ± 1.6) days, t=1.436, P=0.007], shorter time to remove nasogastric tube [(3.9±2.6) days vs. (4.3±2.4) days, t=0.687, P<0.001] and shorter hospital stay [(10.3±6.6) days vs. (12.1±7.2) days, t=0.697, P<0.001]. Complication rate was 14.0% (16/114) and (12.0%) ((1)3/108) in the laparoscopic group and the open group, respectively, without significant difference (χ(2)=6.723, P=0.331). The sensitivity of the No. 4s lymph node for the prediction of splenic hilar lymph node metastasis reached 89.5%, and the specificity reached 99.6%. Conclusions: Laparoscopic technique is safe and feasible in the treatment of splenic hilar lymph node dissection in advanced gastric cancer. The No.4s lymph node examination has good sentinel effect on predicting the metastasis of splenic hilar lymph nodes.

Abstract
To understand the dynamic mechanisms governing soil-to-plant transfer of selenium (Se), technetium-99 (99Tc) and iodine (I), a pot experiment was undertaken using 30 contrasting soils after spiking with 77Se, 99Tc and 129I, and incubating for 2.5 years. Two grass species (Agrostis capillaris and Lolium perenne) were grown under controlled conditions for 4 months with 3 cuts at approximately monthly intervals. Native (soil-derived) 78Se and127I, as well as spiked 77Se, 99Tc and 129I, were assayed in soil and plants by ICP-MS. The grasses exhibited similar behaviour with respect to uptake of all three elements. The greatest uptake observed was for 99Tc, followed by 77Se, with least uptake of 129I, reflecting the transformations and interactions with soil of the three isotopes. Unlike soil-derived Se and I, the available pools of 77Se, 99Tc and 129I were substantially depleted by plant uptake across the three cuts with lower concentrations observed in plant tissues in each subsequent cut. Comparison between total plant offtake and various soil species suggested that 77SeO42-, 99TcO4- and 129IO3-, in soluble and adsorbed fractions were the most likely plant-available species. A greater ratio of 127I/129I in the soil solid phase compared to the solution phase confirmed incomplete mixing of spiked 129I with native 127I in the soil, despite the extended incubation period, leading to poor buffering of the spiked available pools. Compared to traditional expressions of soil-plant transfer factor (TFtotal), a transfer factor (TFavailable) expressed using volumetric concentrations of speciated 'available' fractions of each element showed little variation with soil properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our research studied the expression of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG7 in esophageal cancer cells and tissues. The effect of lncRNA SNHG7 on proliferation and apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells has been discussed. PATIENTS AND METHODS Si-SNHG7 was transfected into esophageal cancer cells, and qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of lncRNA SNHG7 in esophageal cancer cells and tissues. The effect of SNHG7 on the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells was measured by CCK8 assay and plate cloning assay, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of SNHG7 on the cell cycle and apoptosis rate of esophageal cancer cells. Changes in expression of downstream protein p15 and p16 after si-SNHG7 intervention were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS QRT-PCR showed that the expression of SNHG7 in esophageal cancer tissues and cells was significantly up-regulated. After the si-SNHG7 intervention, the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells was inhibited, the apoptosis rate increased, and the cell cycle was blocked in G1-G0 phase. QRT-PCR and Western blot showed that, after the si-SNHG7 intervention, the expression of p15 and p16 increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS The expression of SNHG7 in the tissues and cells of esophageal cancer is significantly up-regulated. SNHG7 can partly promote the development of esophageal cancer by regulating the expression of p15 and p16.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this research was to detect the expression of long non-coding RNA DUXAP8 in esophageal cancer, and to explore its underlying mechanism in the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We collected 78 pairs of esophageal cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The mRNA level of DUXAP8 in these esophageal cancer tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues was detected by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between DUXAP8 expression and the prognosis of esophageal cancer was analyzed. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was applied to reduce the expression of DUXAP8 in ESCC cell lines (TE-1 and KYSE520). Meanwhile, the specific effect of DUXAP8 on the biological functions of ESCC cells was analyzed by CCK-8 assay (cell counting kit-8), colony formation assay and transwell assay, respectively. Furthermore, the regulatory effect of DUXAP8 on Wnt/β-catenin pathway was detected by Western blot. RESULTS DUXAP8 was overexpressed in ESCC tissues than that of normal adjacent tissues. DUXAP8 expression was positively correlated to tumor stage and lymph node metastasis, whereas negatively correlated to the survival rate of ESCC patients. Cell proliferation, colony formation and invasion abilities were significantly decreased after knockdown of DUXAP8 in ESCC cells. Western blot results showed that DUXAP8 could regulate the occurrence of ESCC via Wnt/β-catenin pathway. CONCLUSIONS DUXAP8 expression was significantly correlated with tumor stage, lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis of ESCC patients. DUXAP8 may promote the occurrence of ESCC via Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Background: The effect of soy products on the weight of overweight or obese people is controversial, so we aimed to conduct a systematic review and a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials to analyze whether supplementation with soy products can help them to lose weight. Methods: The relevant data before January 2019 in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched. A random-effect model was adopted to calculate the weighted average difference of net changes of body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, fat mass, waist circumference, etc. Results: A total of 22 trials (870 overweight or obese participants) were reflected in the present meta-analysis. Analysis showed that soy products significantly reduced body weight, BMI, body fat percent and waist circumference in overweight or obese Asian populations (−0.37 kg, P = 0.010; −0.27 kg/m2, P = 0.042; −0.36%, P = 0.032; −0.35 cm, P = 0.049) and more significant effects were observed in non-menopausal women reduced body weight (−0.59 kg, P = 0.041), BMI (−0.59, P = 0.041) and waist circumference (−0.59 cm, P = 0.041) in overweight or obese populations. Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that soy products have weight loss effects, mainly due to soy protein, isoflavone and soy fiber.

Abstract
Ultrasonic synthesis has shown great potential applications in preparing varieties of nanostructured materials. However, fabrication of nanomaterials with tunable structures and desirable properties is still challenging because of the instability and nonuniform distribution of cavitation effect in liquid phase. In this study, a novel aeration tuned ultrasonic synthesis approach is proposed for optimizing the cavitation effect in both time and space scales and fabricating SiO2@PNIPAm NPs. By alternation of ultrasonication and N2 aeration, more and more gas bubbles are formed in the reaction liquid, and the collapse of those bubbles is further enhanced by the reactants of solid SiO2 and intermediate functionalized SiO2 NPs. As a result, SiO2@PNIPAm NPs with various grafting ratios are successfully synthesized simply by changing the number of ultrasonic synthesis cycle. The SiO2@PNIPAm NPs are subsequently used as stabilizer to form Pickering emulsions with different temperature response. This work provides a potential facile sonochemical synthesis method with high efficiency in obtaining inorganic/organic NPs of well determined structures.
