Abstract
Lenvatinib mesylate is an oral receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor against targets of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-4, platelet-derived growth factor receptor α, stem cell growth factor receptor, and rearranged during transfection, et al. Lenvatinib has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration of China on September 4, 2018, for the first-line treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who have not received systematic treatment before. Up to February 2023, Lenvatinib has been listed in China for more than 4 years, accumulating a series of post-marketing clinical research evidences. Based on the clinical practice before and after the launch of lenvatinib and referring to the clinical experience of other anti-angiogenesis inhibitors, domestic multidisciplinary experts and scholars adopt the Delphi method to formulate the Chinese Expert Guidance on Overall Application of Lenvatinib in Hepatocellular Carcinoma after repeated discussions and revisions, in order to provide reference for reasonable and effective clinical application of lenvatinib for clinicians.

Abstract
The biological samples of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases are extremely precious. Collecting and preserving these biological samples are helpful to elucidate the mechanisms and improve the level of diagnose and treatment of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. The standardized construction of biobanks for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases is important for achieving these goals. At present, there is very little information on the construction of these biobanks, and the standards or suggestions for the classification and coding of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources, and this is not conducive to the standardization and information construction of biobanks for special oral diseases. This consensus summarizes the background, necessity, principles, and key points of constructing the biobank for oral genetic diseases and rare diseases. On the base of the group standard "Classification and Coding for Human Biomaterial" (GB/T 39768-2021) issued by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Biological Samples, we suggest 76 new coding numbers for different of biological samples from oral and maxillofacial sources. We hope the consensus may promote the standardization, and smartization on the biobank construction as well as the overall research level of oral genetic diseases and rare diseases in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most phase 3 clinical trials of systemic therapy for first-line unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have failed, with the exception of SHARP, REFLECT, and IMbrave150. We conducted indirect comparisons of therapies evaluated for first-line HCC treatment. SUMMARY We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of treatments for adults with locally advanced or metastatic unresectable HCC and no prior systemic treatment, including atezolizu-mab plus bevacizumab, sorafenib, lenvatinib, nivolumab, selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT), transarterial chemoembolization, and placebo or best supportive care. Randomized controlled trials published from January 1, 2007, to March 12, 2020, were retrieved from MEDLINE and Embase. Qualitative assessment of heterogeneity evaluated study designs, populations, and outcomes. Indirect comparisons used generalized linear models with random effects within a Bayesian framework and informative priors. We calculated relative efficacy estimates with 95% credible intervals (CrIs) and Bayesian posterior probability estimates of atezolizumab-bevacizumab being superior to other treatments. Nine clinical studies with a total of 3,897 participants were identified from 8,783 records and used to build the all-trials evidence network. Indirect comparisons suggested an improved overall survival (OS) with atezolizumab-bevacizumab versus lenvatinib (odds ratio, 0.63 [95% CrI 0.39-1.04]; with 97% Bayesian posterior probability of being superior), nivolumab (0.68 [95% CrI 0.41-1.14]; 94%), sorafenib (0.59 [95% CrI 0.39-0.87]; 99%), SIRT (0.51 [95% CrI 0.32-0.82]; 100%), or placebo/best supportive care (0.40 [95% CrI 0.25-0.64]; 100%). KEY MESSAGES Within the context of indirect comparisons, analyses of OS favored atezolizumab-bevacizumab versus other treatment options for patients with locally advanced or metastatic unresectable HCC.

Abstract
In China, the mortality rate of primary liver cancer ranks third among malignant tumors, so it is an imperative health issue. Surgery has always been an ideal treatment for early liver cancer, and an alternative treatment for some intermediate and advanced stage liver cancers. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the treatment of liver cancer, and relevant experts have begun to combine existing treatment methods into the early and intermediate-stage to explore drug treatment methods. Here, we will discuss the surgical and drug treatment issues, as well as the combination of the both, and their impact on future liver cancer treatment models.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D SWE) combined with clinical biochemical data in predicting posthepatoectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: A total of 274 HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy in Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University from January 2015 to January 2016 were retrospectively collected, including 235 males and 39 females, age 19-80 (56±11) years. All patients were confirmed to be HCC by postoperative pathology. The preoperative 2D SWE examination, laboratory examination results and intraoperative indicators were analyzed. According to the occurrence of PHLF after surgery, single factor analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed on the above indicators to obtain a binary logistic regression model, and evaluate the diagnostic effect of the model on PHLF. In addition, 103 HCC patients from October 2019 to January 2020 were retrospectively collected as an external validation set, including 89 males and 14 females, age 23-80 (55±11) years old. Results: The liver stiffness measurement (LSM) obtained from 2D SWE, INR and Laminin (LN) were independent predictors of PHLF. The formula of prediction model PM=-15.451+0.095×LSM+11.7×INR+0.012×LN was obtained by combining above three factors. The area under the curve (AUC) of PHLF was 0.82, which was higher than that of end-stage liver disease model (MELD) score and Child-Pugh grading diagnosis of PHLF. The AUC of PHLF predicted by PM in the external validation group was 0.81. Conclusion: 2D SWE is helpful for clinicians to evaluate liver reserve function preoperatively and to predict the occurrence of PHLF in patients with HCC.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the histologic features of immune-mediated hepatitis (IMH) due to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) monotherapy and combined ICIs anti-angiogenesis tyrosine kinases (TKIs) targeted therapy. Methods: Twenty-one IMH patients who had liver biopsy during ICIs treatment in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from 2015 to 2019 were included. Among them, ten were treated with ICIs monotherapy, and 11 were treated with combined ICIs and anti-angiogenesis targeted therapy. The histologic features of IMH were assessed by HE staining and PD-L1/2 was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Results: Patients treated with monotherapy ICIs presented with different levels of lobular hepatitis and portal inflammation. Besides, there were also cholangitis, endothelialitis, Kupffer cells activation and peliosisi hepatitis. Eight cases (8/10) showed mild and two cases (2/10) showed moderate hepatic injury. As for patients receiving combined ICIs and TKIs therapy, the extent of IMH was more severe, with four cases (4/11) showing moderate-severe liver injury, with confluent or bridging necrosis, portal inflammation, cholangitis, interface hepatitis. Among these, one patient developed acute severe hepatitis with massive hepatocyte necrosis and died of multisystem dysfunction. In those cases with severe liver injury, many CD8 positive lymphocytes aggregated in the portal area and hepatic sinusoid, and PD-L1 was expressed in many endothelial cells. There were both 2 cases of death in ICIs monotherapy and combination therapy group. Among the latter group, 1 patient developed acute severe hepatitis with massive hepatocyte necrosis and died of multisystem dysfunction. Conclusion: Compared with ICIs monotherapy, combined ICIs and anti-angiogenesis targeted TKIs therapy may cause overlapping hepatic injury, leading to severe IMH.

Abstract
At the present day, curettage and periodontal surgery comprise the main strategy for the treatment of periodontitis, however, these methods are limited in regenerating cementum. It has been found that some biological factors such asenamel matrix derivative (EMD), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) could promote cementum regeneration. In the cementum regenerationstudies, there has been a lack of criteria to distinguish cementum from alveolar bone and other types of cementum. Therefore, this article will briefly review the biological factors that affect the cementum regeneration and the molecular markers used to judge the regenerating cementum.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-loaded microspheres on dental pulp tissue regeneration and vascularization in vivo. Methods:In vitro release experiment and human umbilical vein endothelial cell migration experiment were conducted with VEGF loaded microspheres. The dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) were co-cultured with VEGF microspheres to observe the compatibility between the cells and the microspheres. DPSC and VEGF loaded microspheres were injected into the root lumen through the apical foramen, which were then transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice. Histological and immunohistochemical features were observed after nine weeks. Results: DPSCs attached and spread on the surface of the microspheres. HE staining showed that the regenerated pulp-like tissue fulfilled the whole apex and middle third of the root. Differentiated odontoblast-like cells aligned with the existing tubular root dentin. Conclusions: VEGF-loaded microspheres promoted the regeneration of pulp-like tissues and formation of blood vessels.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between gene mutations and clinical characteristics in Chinese patients with epilepsy. Methods: A total of twenty-three patients with idiopathic epilepsy admitted to the Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2014 to July 2016 were included.The age at onset of epilepsy ranged from 8 months to 31 years.All patients were screened for mutations by next-generation of sequencing (NGS), using a targeted capture panel of epilepsy and related seizures to screen forgene causative for or related to epilepsy.Some mutations were verified for inheritance by Sanger sequencing of two generations in the family.The differences in clinical characteristics among different mutation carriers were compared. Results: A total of 38 mutations were identified in 23 patients.Most of the patients presented with tonic-clonic seizures, and most were not accompanied by mental retardation.Causative genes were dominated by those encoding ion channel, enzyme and proteins with special functions.Although mutation carriers for genes encoding ion channel proteins and those with special functions were not significantly different in age at onset, types of seizure, family history or complications(P>0.05), patients presenting with tonic-clonic seizures had higher frequency of mutations in genes encoding ion channel (15/15)than those encoding proteins with special function(16/20)(P=0.066). Conclusions: NGS is a useful technology in detecting mutations in patients with various types of epilepsy and aiding in etiological diagnosis of the disease.Tonic-clonic seizures may correlate with mutations in genes encoding ion channel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to study the clinicopathologic features, grading, treatment protocols, and prognostic of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with liver metastasis and primary hepatic NET. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data of 34 patients with hepatic NET were retrospectively reviewed. According to the primary tumor location and 2010 World Health Organization classification, the cases were categorized to analyze the clinicopathologic features, treatment condition, and prognostic factors. RESULTS There was a marked male predominance either in gastroenteropancreatic NET liver metastasis group or primary group. Primary hepatic NET is mostly single nodule located in the right lobe of liver, and the metastatic hepatic NET is mostly from pancreas with multiple nodules and metastasizes to both lobes of the liver, with a high degree of malignancy and poor prognosis. There are 17 cases (50%) of NET and 17 cases (50%) of neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) in all the 34 patients of this study. The mitotic figure and Ki-67 proliferation index are both higher in NEC group than in NET group, which indicated highly malignancy of the NEC. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates for primary group and metastatic group were 30% and 40%, respectively (P > 0.05), while the 5-year survival rates were 35% and 66%, respectively (P > 0.05). Different tumor grade was found closely associated with 5-year DFS (P < 0.05) and overall survival (OS) (P < 0.05) in both groups. Furthermore, we found 5-year DFS of patients with primary site of the tumor located in the gastrointestinal tract was much lower than that located in pancreas (P < 0.05), while the 5-year OS showed no significant differences between two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Surgery is an effective method for the treatment of hepatic NET; tumor grading is an important determinant factor of prognosis.

Abstract
In this letter, we report the antireflection and light absorption enhancement by forming sub-wavelength nano-patterned Si structures via nano-sphere lithography technique. It is found that the surface reflection can be significantly suppressed in a wide spectral range (400-1000 nm) and the weighted mean reflection is less than 5%. Meanwhile, the broad band optical absorption enhancement is achieved consequently. Heterojunction solar cells are prepared by depositing ultrathin amorphous Si film on the nano-patterned Si structures, the short circuit current density increases to 37.2 mA/cm(2)and the power conversion efficiency is obviously improved compared to the reference cell on flat Si substrate.

Abstract
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are useful for producing transgenic chickens and preserving genetic material in avian species. In this study, we investigated the in vitro differentiation potential of chicken PGCs into different cell types. For differentiation into adipocytes, chicken PGCs were cultured for 21 days in induction media containing dexamethasone, insulin and/or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), and differentiation rates ranging from 74% to 91% were identified by oil red-O and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining. For differentiation into neuron-like cells, chicken PGCs were cultured for 3 or 7 days in the induction media containing retinoic acid (RA) and IBMX, and differentiation rates ranging from 71% to 87% were identified by toluidine blue staining and immunohistochemical staining. For differentiation into osteoblasts, chicken PGCs were cultured for 15 or 21 days in the induction media containing desamethasone, beta-glycerol phosphate and/or vitamin C, and differentiation rates ranging from 47% to 79% were confirmed by Von Kossa, cytochemical and immunohistochemical staining. These data suggest that, like mammalian PGCs, chicken PGCs can differentiate into different cell types in vitro.

Abstract
Human tissue kallikrein (hK1) plays an important role in regulation of blood pressure, electrolyte and glucose transport, and renal function. To evaluate the feasibility of expression of recombinant human tissue kallikrein (rhK1) in the egg whites of laying hens, human tissue kallikrein gene (hKLK1) cDNA was subcloned into the chicken oviduct-specific expression vector (pOV3), and the resultant recombinant vector pOV3K was injected into laying hens via wing vein after mixing with polyethyleneimine. Following injection twice with the recombinant vector, the enzymatic activity at a maximal level of 59 U/mL was detected in the egg whites, which lasted for more than 7 d. The expression level of rhK1 in the egg whites in the 3-mg group was relatively higher than that in the 2-mg group, but the significant differences were identified on d 7 and 8 (P < 0.05). Ten days after the primary injection, the hens were reinjected with the same dose of the vector, and even higher enzymatic activity was detected in their egg whites. Two different breeds of hen were tested with no difference in expression level found (P > 0.05). Western blot analysis of the egg whites from vector-injected hens showed the rhK1 was recognized by a polyclonal antibody specific for hK1 with molecular weights of 37 and 43 kDa, which probably corresponded to the mature and preenzyme, respectively. Biochemical studies showed that the recombinant enzyme had a similar thermostability, optimal pH, hypotensive effect, and sensitivity to different ions to the natural enzymes in human and porcine tissues. These data indicate that the chicken oviduct-specific transient expression system can produce relatively high level and authentic recombinant enzyme with a potential for further development for therapeutic use.

Abstract
Postoperative recurrence of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major issue that must be addressed to further improve prognosis. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of interferon-alfa-1b (IFN-alpha-1b) on recurrent tumor and metastasis after curative resection in nude mice bearing an HCC xenograft with high metastatic potential. Tumor tissues from LCI-D20, a metastatic model of HCC in nude mice, were orthotopically implanted in 105 nude mice. Eleven days later, 64 mice underwent curative resection of liver tumors. IFN-alpha at different doses was administered subcutaneously to mice with or without resection. In mice without resection, when comparison was made among control, IFN 7.5 x 10(6) U/kg/day, 1.5 x 10(7) U/kg/day for treated groups, and 3 x 10(7) U/kg/day; tumor volume was 8,475 mm(3) +/- 2,636 mm(3), 7,963 mm(3) +/- 3,214 mm(3), 769 mm(3) +/- 287 mm(3), and 13 mm(3) +/- 9 mm(3); incidence of lung metastasis being 100%, 80%, 40%, and 0%; life span was 45 +/- 4 days, 53 +/- 8 days, 81 +/- 6 days, and 105 +/- 24 days, respectively. In mice with curative resection, when comparison was made among control, IFN 5 x 10(5) U/kg/day, 1 x 10(6) U/kg/day, 4 x 10(6) U/kg/day, 7.5 x 10(6) U/kg/day, 1.5 x 10(7) U/kg/day, and 3 x 10(7) U/kg/day for treated groups; incidence of recurrent tumor was 100%, 100%, 87.5%, 100%, 87.5%, 62.5%, and 12.5%; lung metastasis being 100%, 75%, 87.5%, 50%, 62.5%, 0%, and 0%, respectively. IFN-alpha inhibited neovascularization induced by LCI-D20 tumor specimens implanted into the micropocket of nude mice corneas. In conclusion, high-dose and long-term therapy with IFN-alpha dose-dependently inhibits tumor growth and recurrence after resection of HCC. The effect of IFN-alpha may be attributed to antiangiogenesis in this experiment. These results provide potential clinical implication, particularly for the prevention of recurrence after curative resection of HCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Both platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are known to promote the development of new blood vessels, which are fundamental to tumor growth and metastasis. We aimed at evaluating the gene expression of PD-ECGF and VEGF in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Surgical specimens (28 HCC, 28 nontumorous liver tissues and 18 PVTT) were studied by Northern blot analysis. The levels of PD-ECGF mRNA and VEGF mRNA expression were measured by densitometric scanning of the autoradiographs, and they were normalized to the level of expression of an internal control (glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase) mRNA. RESULTS The expression rates of PD-ECGF mRNA in PVTT, HCC and nontumorous liver tissues were 77.8% (14/18), 67.9% (19/28) and 35.7% (10/28), being 88.9% (16/18), 75.0% (21/28) and 17.9% (5/28) respectively for VEGF mRNA. The expressions of PD-ECGF mRNA and VEGF mRNA were higher in HCC with PVTT than when PVTT was absent (P < 0.05). The PVTT was more often seen in patients with positive expression of both PD-ECGF mRNA and VEGF mRNA in HCC than in patients who were positive for only one of these factors or negative for both (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Both PD-ECGF and VEGF correlated well with the formation of PVTT of HCC.

Abstract
Tumor progression is angiogenesis dependent, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key growth factor in this process. sVEGF concentrations in 44 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 5 with benign liver lesions were determined with an enzyme-link immunoadsorbent assay system (ELISA). Reverse transcript-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was carried out on surgical specimens of 51 patients with HCC. The relative levels of VEGF mRNA expression were measured by determining a ratio between PCR products of VEGF and the endogenous internal standard gene b-actin. UEA-1 was histochemically used to count microvascularity in tumor tissue. Elevated sVEGF concentrations were found in patients with HCC (172.84+/-111.75 pg/ml) as compared to individuals with benign liver lesions (95.74+/-36.20 pg/ml, P<.05). Of 44 cases with HCC, sVEGF concentrations in the patients with PV-emboli or with poor-encapsulated tumors were significantly higher than in those without PV-emboli or with well-encapsulated tumors (P<0.05). The expression levels of VEGF mRNA in tumors with PV-emboli and in poor-encapsulated tumors were higher than in those without PV-emboli and in well-encapsulated tumors (P<0.05). Microvascular density in HCC tissues was significantly correlated with the expression levels of VEGF mRNA (P<0.01; r=0.7). Circulating VEGF was derived from HCC tissue. sVEGF concentrations could be a new marker for predicting the angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis of HCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To elucidate the relationship between angiogenesis and prognosis after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS An immunohistochemical study using anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody was carried out on surgical specimens from 78 HCC patients who had undergone curative resection; microvessel density (MVD) was counted and the overall survival and disease-free survival were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Blood vessels in the tumor were strongly stained by anti-CD34 antibody, but not those in the surrounding liver parenchyma. There were three types of tumor vessels: capillary-like (n = 59), sinusoid-like (n = 16) and mixed-type (n = 3). The median MVD count was 100 per field. The HCC were designated as hypovascular (n = 36) with an MVD count below 100, and hypervascular (n = 42) with an MVD count of 100 or more per field. The 5-year survival and disease-free survival rates were 49.7% and 42.8% respectively, and statistical analysis showed that the MVD level was not correlated with tumor size, capsule status, Edmondson's grade, alpha-fetoprotein level, associated cirrhosis, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and serum HBsAg status. The sinusoid-like tumor vessels appeared more frequently in the more differentiated tumors (P<0.05). No statistical difference in overall and disease-free survival between different MVD levels and microvessel types was found. Tumor size was the only predicting factor in the entire series. In patients with small HCC (< or =5 cm, n = 40), 5-year survival and disease-free survival rates were 58.9% and 52.7% respectively, higher than the values in large HCC (39.8% and 32.0% respectively, P<0.05). The MVD level was an independent predicting factor of disease-free survival, 5-year disease-free survival in the hypovascular group (74.6%) being better than that in the hypervascular group (34.7%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The MVD level was not related to tumor size, capsule statuo, Edmondson's grade, alpha-fetoprotein level, associated cirrhosis, gamma-glutamyltransferase and serum HBsAg status. In the entire series, tumor size was the only factor influencing survival after curative resection. However, in patients with small HCC, the MVD level was an independent factor of disease-free survival. The pathological and clinical implications of different types of tumor vessels in HCC remain to be studied.

Abstract
KAI1 gene is a novel metastasis suppressor gene. Its transcription level has been reported to be related with metastases in several kinds of tumors. The Authors used RT-PCR method to investigate the expression levels of KAI1 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues from 42 patients. The results demonstrated that 57.1% of tumor tissues were positive in KAI1 expression. There was no statistically significant difference on KAI1 gene expression rate between large (>5 cm) and small (<=5 cm) tumors, encapsulated and non-capsulated tumors, as well as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) positive (>20 ug/ml) and negative (<=20 ug/ml) tumors; however, the expression rate was higher in tumors without intrahepatic metastasis than in those with intrahepatic metastasis (63.9% vs. 16.7%, P<0.05). It is suggested that KAI1 gene expression may be related to the metastases of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies have been widely used in tumor targeting studies with promising results. However, their clinical application has been limited by heterogeneity and macro-molecular movement of murine antibody. In this study, the variable-region (heavy- and light-chain) fragments of anti-HBx monoclonal antibody were enriched by the polymerase chain reaction. The expression vector, which included a 6x histidine sequence in the 3' terminus of the HBx single-chain antibody (sFv) was recombined with a linker sequence (KLGGGGFSGA) between the variable regions. The expression product from Escherichia coli fused with 6xHis was purified by nickel (Ni2+) nitrilotriacetate chelating resin. The results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting showed that sFv had binding affinity with HBxAg, suggesting that it could become a novel targeting carrier in clinical trials.

Abstract
In the present study, liver biopsy specimens from 37 patients with epidemic haemorrhagic fever (EHF) were investigated by using light and electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry for the EHF virus envelope protein G2 and in situ hybridization (ISH) for EHF viral RNA. Immunostaining and in situ hybridization were both positive, and a few of the aetiological agents, the EHF virus (EHFV) particles, were found individually within the dilated Golgi cisternae and vesicles, and the dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum of the hepatocyte. The pathological alterations of the liver cells infected with EHFV were: hepatocellular degeneration, cytoplasmic vacuolation, and spotty necrosis; moreover, zonal necrosis was present and adjacent to the narrowed and occluded sinusoids. In degenerated and spotty necrotic cells, the positive signals from of ISH for EHFV RNA and those from immunostaining for the virus protein were both stronger than those in the zonal liver cell necrosis area. The results showed that hepatocellular degeneration and spotty necrosis might be directly related to the virus and its duplication inside the liver cells, while the zonal necrosis was ischaemic and thought to be caused by microcirculation dysfunction.

Abstract
Sixty-nine specimens from Tripterygium Wilfordii Hook.f. (TWH) users were investigated by electron microscopy. No macrophages were demonstrated in the 21 specimens collected prior to the administration of TWH. However, it was found in 23 out of the 48 semen specimens obtained following the TWH administration. The macrophages were functionally active as shown by the presence of a large number of cytoplasmic processes and pseudopodia on the surface, and primary and secondary lysosomes in the cytoplasm. The macrophages phagocytized sperm debris and degenerated or dead spermatids with formation of specific phagosomes. Around those macrophages, lymphocytes were commonly noted. The cytoplasmic processes of the two cell types could come into contact or even fuse with each other, leading to tight junction-like structure; in some of the contacts, the plasma membranes were found dissolved so as to form direct cytoplasmic linkage.

Abstract
The vascular architecture of bone giant cell tumor was observed histologically with resin cast technique and scanning electron microscopy. Three types of capillaries were noted in the tumor tissue: extruding club-like capillary in the outer zone of the tumor; sinusoid capillary running disorderly in the intermediate zone; cecum capillary in the central zone. The pattern of vascular structure was believed to be correlated with tumor growth.

Abstract
By applying both low-frequency wavelength modulation and high-frequency phase modulation to a laser diode, we develop a sensitive, high-bandwidth chemical diagnostic tool that is applicable to a variety of gas-phase processing environments. Specific chemical species are identified and monitored through their infrared absorption spectra, and the modulation methods allow for sensitive detection that is free of window and other reflection-driven interference fringes. Absorbance limits of 5.3 x 10(-8) and 1.9 x 10(-7) are obtained for an AlGaAs diode laser and a lead-salt diode laser, respectively. We discuss applications to plasma etching and chemical vapor deposition.

Abstract
When used for trace-gas detection, laser absorption spectroscopy is usually limited by false absorption signals that are traceable to interferometric effects induced by windows and other pairs of optical surfaces. Here we introduce a new technique that can selectively reject these étalon fringes while preserving the true absorption signal over a wide range of étalon free spectral range to absorption linewidth ratios. We present a theoretical analysis and experimental verification by using a tunable lead salt diode laser.

Abstract
An IgM antibody capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using avidin biotin complex system (ABC MAC-ELISA) was established for the detection and differentiation of dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis virus infections. The cut-off value of MAC-ELISA was based on the mean value of optical density at 490 nm of seven negative human sera carried along in each assay multiplied by 2.1. The specificity of MAC-ELISA tested on 200 healthy enrolled male serum was 99.5% and 98.0% for dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis IgM, respectively. Two hundred and sixty-six acute or followed-up dengue serum specimens which were identified to possess dengue-1 virus by virus isolation technique using C6/36 cell line and monoclonal antibody immunofluorescent assay (IFA) were tested by MAC-ELISA for IgM antibodies to dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis virus infection. The positivity of IgM antibody for serum collected from day 1 to day 7 after onset of the disease was 0.0%, 0.0%, 7.6% 14.2%, 25.0%, and 77.7% by each consecutive day, correspondingly, for those collected from day 8 to two month was 96.7% overall. By comparison the P/N value of dengue-1 IgM to JE IgM, 98.5% and 96.8% of the dengue-1 and Japanese encephalitis suspected serum specimens could be distinguished from each other, respectively. MAC-ELISA is a convenient, rapid, sensitive and specific method for the detection and differentiation of dengue-1 from Japanese encephalitis virus infections.

Abstract
Transcriptional regulation of the sodA gene, encoding the manganese superoxide dismutase (superoxide: superoxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.15.1.1) of Escherichia coli, was studied by monitoring expression of sodA-lacZ in different genetic backgrounds and under different growth conditions. Mutations in the fnr gene were found to affect aerobic and anaerobic expression of sodA-lacZ. Potential Fnr-binding sites were identified in the promoter region of sodA. Strains harboring simultaneous mutations in arcA/B and fur expressed sodA-lacZ under anaerobic growth conditions but were still inducible by iron chelators. However, in the triple mutants (fnr fur arcA/B) sodA-lacZ was fully expressed under anaerobiosis and was not further induced by the presence of 2,2'-dipyridyl, nitrate, or oxidants. On the other hand, aerobic expression of sodA-lacZ from a Fur-strain was approximately 3.8-fold higher than that from the wild-type strain but was diminished by introducing mutations in fnr or arcA/B. In conclusion, Fnr, Arc, and Fur act as anaerobic repressors of sodA. Furthermore, the regulation of sodA by Fur (ferric uptake regulation protein), Arc (aerobic respiratory control), and Fnr (fumarate nitrate reduction/regulator of anaerobic respiration) is independent of the superoxide response regulon SoxRS.

Abstract
To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among intravenous drug abusers in Taiwan, a total of 761 male prisoners, including 680 intravenous drug abusers, were studied for serological markers of HBV and HDV. Questionnaires were distributed to evaluate the risk factors for HDV infection and also to estimate the strength of association among HDV infection and the risk factors. HBV infection was common, and the positive rates of HBV markers between intravenous drug abusers and non-drug abusers were not statistically different. However, the positive rate of the antibody to HDV was significantly higher among intravenous drug abusers than among non-drug abusers (21.3% vs. 8.6%). Of 131 chronic HBV carriers with intravenous drug abuse, 119 (91%) were anti-HD positive. Using multiple logistic regression models, we found that the most important risk factor for HDV infection was hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriage, and intravenous drug addiction the next. A matched case-control study also was conducted to compare liver function tests among both anti-HD- and HBsAg-positive group anti-HD-negative, and HBs-AG-positive group as well as those with neither positive. Statistically significant difference in liver function tests was not found. It is concluded that the HBsAg carriers with intravenous drug abuse in Taiwan are commonly HDV infected with and that the infection does not seem to affect the liver as assessed by liver function tests.
