Abstract
Objective: To report the clinical features and genetic variations of monogenic lupus caused by DNASE1L3 deficiency and to introduce preliminary experience on diagnosis and treatment for this disease. Methods: Clinical data of 3 children from the same pedigree were collected who were diagnosed with DNASE1L3 defect-associated monogenic lupus in August 2020 by Department of Pediatrics, Peking Union Medical College Hospital referred from Department of Pediatrics, Boai Hospital of Zhongshan. DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the patients and their parients to perform genetic analysis and confirmation. Six interferon-stimulated genes were relatively quantified to examine the activation of the type I interferon signaling. "DNASE1L3" "systemic lupus erythematosus" and "SLE" were searched in PubMed, Wangfang Data, CNKI databases for related reports from database established date to June 2022. Spectrum of genetic variations and clinical phenotypes were analyzed in combination with this pedigree. Results: Case 1, a 14-year-old girl with edema, hematuria, and heavy proteinuria, presented with membranous nephropathy. Case 2, the 12-year-old younger brother of case 1 with hematologic, cardiac, pulmonary, renal involvement, positive antinuclear antibody, positive anti-double-stranded DNA antibody and low complement C3, manifested with systemic lupus erythematosus. Case 3, the 8-year-old younger sister of case 1 with hematologic, cardiac, pulmonary and renal involvement, positive antinuclear antibody, positive anti-double-stranded DNA antibody, and low complement C3 and C4, manifested with systemic lupus erythematosus. Genetic testing revealed that all 3 patients carried homozygous deletions in exons 3 and 4 on DNASE1L3 gene. Interferon scores were elevated in case 1, 2 and their parents but normal in case 3. All 3 patients were diagnosed with monogenic lupus caused by DNASE1L3 defects. Literature searching identified 10 relevant publications in English and 0 publication in Chinese, involving 42 patients from 18 pedigrees (including the 3 cases from this pedigree). Nine variants were found: c.289_290delAC (p.T97Ifs*2), c.643delT (p.W215Gfs*2), c.320+4delAGTA, c.321-1G>A, Ex5 del, c.433G>A, c.581G>A (p.C194Y), c.537G>A (p.W179X), and Ex3-4 del. The hotspot variants were c.643delT (43% (36/84)) and c.289_290delAC (36% (30/84)). Kidney was affected in 31 cases (74%) of the 42 cases. Among the 25 patients, joints were affected in 16 cases (64%), fever were reported in 13 cases (52%) hematologic system was involved 13 cases (52%), rash was present in 10 cases (40%), intestinal tract was involved in 8 cases (32%), lungs were involved in 6 cases (24%), eyes were involved in 4 cases (16%), and the heart was involved in 4 cases (16%). The 2 cardiopulmonary affected patients from literature showed poor prognosis, with 1 died, and 1 right heart failure. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of monogenic lupus caused by DNASE1L3 defect are highly heterogenous, primarily with renal, blood, joint, intestinal, and cardiopulmonary involvement. There is no correlation between the genotype and the phenotype. DNASE1L3 defects were predominantly mediated by null varations including nonsense, splicing, frameshift and exon deletions. The hotspot variants are c.643delT and c.289_290delAC. DNASE1L3 defects should be cautioned in early-onset lupus-like patients with renal, joint and hematologic involvement. Cardiopulmonary involved patients require close monitoring for poor prognosis. Copy number variations should be carefully analyzed after negative whole exome sequencing.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of percutaneous curved kyphoplasty (PCK) for osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). Methods: This is a prospective study.Patients with OVCF who underwent PCK at the Department of Orthopedics,Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2018 to June 2019 were included.All the operations were performed by the same surgeon.X-ray examination was performed before and after the operation to measure the vertebral height and Cobb angle.The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores were evaluated before and after the operation,and the amount of bone cement injected was record.The leakage rate and distribution of bone cement was observed by CT examination after the operation,and the postoperative complications was collected during the follow-up.Paired-t test was used to compare the related indexes before and after operation. Results: There were 32 patients in our study,including 8 males and 24 females,aged (74.9±9.9) years (range:64 to 81 years).The intraoperative bone cement injection volume was (4.2±1.5) ml(range:2 to 6 ml).According to the classification of distribution of bone cement,28 cases were rated as type Ⅰ and 4 cases were rated as type Ⅱ. Bone cement leakage was observed in 12 cases (37.5%),and there was no intraspinal leakage or venous leakage.The vertebral height was improved from (21.9±6.2) mm preoperatively to (24.3±4.3) mm postoperatively(t=-2.836,P=0.008),Cobb angle improved from(M(QR))14°(15°)preoperatively to 12.5°(12.75°)postoperatively(Z=-1.950,P=0.051),VAS improved from 6.8±0.7 preoperatively to 1.7±0.8 postoperatively (t=28.946,P<0.01),ODI score improved from 73.4±7.3 preoperatively to 21.3±5.7 postoperatively (t=32.250,P<0.01).The patients were followed up for (19.7±3.7) months (range:15 to 29 months).One patient had refracture (3.1%,1/32),and no other complications such as neurological dysfunction and pulmonary embolism occurred. Conclusions: The clinical effect of PCK in the treatment of OVCF was satisfactory.This technique could reduce the difficulty of puncture to a certain extent,and be beneficial to the distribution of bone cement.

Abstract
Soil-borne pathogens and weeds could synergistically affect vegetable growth and result in serious losses. The investigation of antagonistic metabolites from a marine-derived entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria felina, obtained polyhydroxy steroid (1), tricyclic diterpenoid (2), isaridin (3), and destruxin cyclodepsipeptides (4-6). The structures and absolute configurations of new 1-3 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses, as well as electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 showed antifungal activities against carbendazim-resistant strains of Botrytis cinerea, with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 16 to 32 μg/mL, which were significantly better than those of carbendazim (MIC = 256 μg/mL). Compound 5 exhibited significant antagonistic activity against the radicle growth of Amaranthus retroflexus seedlings, which was almost identical to that of the positive control (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). The structure-activity differences of 4-6 suggested that the Cl atom in HMPA1 and β-Me in Pro2 should be the key factors to their herbicidal activities. Besides, compounds 3-6 showed moderate nematicidal activities against Meloidogyne incognita. These antagonistic effects of 1-6 were first reported and further revealed the synergistically antagonistic potential of B. felina to be developed into the biopesticide.

Abstract
As one of the key components to support all the magnet coils, the GS faces engineering challenge to its operational safety throughout the design, qualification and manufacturing process as a result of extreme loading condition. The structural safety of GS was confirmed by both the FEM analysis and the semi-prototype engineering test after a long time of design, qualification, manufacture and assembly. Welding the cooling pipe to the flexible plate without obvious deformation as well as tightening uniformly and precisely all the tie rods to clamp the plates were carried out successfully during manufacturing. The result of final vacuum leakage test indicates that the GS can not only meet the ITER vacuum requirement but also have no slow out-gassing. The first set of GS which has passed the ITER acceptance test is to be delivered to ITER construction site soon.

Abstract
Herbicidal activity-guided isolation from the fermentation extract of Penicillium viridicatum had obtained two herbicidal series of polyketides (1-7) and diketopiperazine derivatives (8-11), especially including three novel polyketides (1-3). The structures and absolute configurations of new polyketides 1-3 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, as well as comparisons between measured and calculated ECD spectra. Novel polyketides 1-3 and known 4, all bearing the heptaketide skeleton with a trans-fused decalin ring of 8-CH3 substitution, could significantly inhibit the radicle growth of Echinochloa crusgalli seedlings with a dose-dependent relationship. Especially at the concentration of 10 μg/mL, 1-4 exhibited the inhibition rates with 81.5% ± 2.0, 76.4% ± 0.8, 79.6% ± 1.1, and 80.0 ± 1.8%, respectively, even better than the commonly used synthetic herbicide of acetochlor with 76.1 ± 1.4%. Further greenhouse bioassay revealed that 4 showed pre-emergence herbicidal activity against E. crusgalli with the fresh-weight inhibition rate of 74.1% at a dosage of 400 g ai/ha, also better than acetochlor, while the other isolated metabolites (5-11) exhibited moderate herbicidal activities. The structure-activity differences of isolated polyketides indicated that the heptaketide skeleton, characterized by a trans-fused decalin ring with 8-CH3 substitution, should be the key factor of their herbicidal activities, which could give new insights for the bioherbicide developments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the epidemiological and pathological features of sudden death (SD) in Yunnan Province and to provide scientific evidence for prevention and forensic identification of sudden death. METHODS Totally 363 SD cases were collected from the autopsies between 2009 and 2017 in the Forensic Centre of Kunming Medical University. The related factors such as etiology, age, inducing factor, time interval between the onset of disease and death, morbidity season and pathological change were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS The incidence of SD in males was significantly higher than that of females. The peak age was ≥35-55 years. The mortality rate was relatively high within 6 h after the onset of disease. The season order with descending number of deaths was spring, summer, winter and autumn. The top ten causes of SD were coronary heart disease, sudden unexplained death (SUD), cerebral hemorrhage, acute hemorrhagic necrotic pancreatitis, aortic dissection rupture, cardiomyopathy, pneumonia, pulmonary thromboembolism, amniotic fluid embolism and allergy. Exercise, infusion, surgery, medication and minor injury were the most common predisposing factors of sudden coronary death. Consciousness disorder or coma, chest pain or chest tightness, and abdominal pain were the most common premortem symptoms of sudden coronary death. CONCLUSIONS The SD is more common in middle-aged males, which is the key population for the prevention of SD. For the forensic identification and prevention of SD, the attention on SUD should be paid.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze features and the related factors of myoclonus of 47 patients with probable or possible Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Methods: All patients diagnosed with"suspected CJD" and hospitalized in Xuanwu Hospital from January 2013 to November 2015 were included, and their clinical information and myoclonus features were analyzed. Age, clinical, course and manifestation, EEG, MRI, CSF14-3-3 features between myoclonus positive group and negative group were compared, and the correlation between myoclonus features and these factors was analyzed using Spearman correlation analyses. Results: (1) Occurrence rate of extrapyramidal symptoms (P=0.028), visual impairment (P=0.025) and dyssomnia (P=0.004) were higher in myoclonus positive group, the differences were significant. Spearman correlation analysis showed that myoclonus was related to extrapyramidal symptoms (P=0.024), visual impairment (P=0.030) and dyssomnia (P=0.001). (2) EEG features showed no significant difference between myoclonus positive and negative group. The 17 myoclonus positive patients were divided into three subgroups, typical EEG change group 52.94%(9/17), atypical EEG change group 23.53%(4/17) and no EEG change group 23.53%(4/17). Difference of myoclonus and other clinical manifestations were not significant among the three subgroups(P>0.05); correlation analysis also found no statistically significant correlation between myoclonus and EEG (P=0.201). Conclusions: Myoclonus often occurs after the damage of locomotor system (including pyramidal tract, extracorticospinal tract and cerebellum) among CJD patients, and it is related to extrapyramidal symptoms , visual impairment and dyssomnia . There is undefined correlation between myoclonus and periodic sharp wave complexes (PSWC) in EEG.

Abstract
Glioma is a serious life-threatening disease, the pathogenesis of which remains to be investigated. The objective of the present investigation was to explore the expression and clinical significance of tumor suppressor gene (P53), O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in glioma. Immunohistochemical staining was applied to study the clinical characteristics of 40 samples from glioma patients, detect the expression of and analyse the relationship between P53, MGMT and EGFR and glioma. The results demonstrated that the positive expression rate of P53 was 47.5% in 40 cases of glioma samples, of which the expression of P53 in the high grade glioma was higher than that of the low grade samples (P < 0.05); the positive expression rate of MGMT was 37.5%, but there was no significant significance of MGMT expression between the high grade glioma and the low grade glioma (P >0.05); the positive expression rate of EGFR was 55%, of which the expression of EGFR of the high grade glioma was higher than that of the low grade glioma (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expressions of P53, MGMT and EGFR in the glioma patients of different ages, gender and with different tumor sizes. The expressions of P53 and MGMT were negatively correlated (P<0.05). The expressions of P53 and EGFR were positively correlated (P<0.05). In conclusion, P53, EGFR and MGMT could play a role in the occurrence, development and deterioration of glioma.

Abstract
We present a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on graphene oxide/silver nanoparticles/silicon pyramid arrays structure (GO/Ag/PSi). The SERS behaviors are discussed and compared by the detection of R6G. Based on the contrast experiments with PSi, GO/PSi, Ag/PSi and GO/AgA/PSi as SERS substrate, the perfect bio-compatibility, good homogeneity and chemical stability were confirmed. We also calculated the electric field distributions using Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis to further understand the GO/Ag/PSi structure as a perfect SERS platform. These experimental and theoretical results imply that the GO/Ag/PSi with regular pyramids array is expected to be an effective substrate for label-free sensitive SERS detections in areas of medicine, food safety and biotechnology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Use of ultrasonic surgical instrument is gaining popularity for dissection and coagulation in open surgery. However, there is still no consensus on the efficacy and safety of its use compared with conventional surgical technique in open gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the role and surgical outcomes of ultrasonic dissection (UD) compared with conventional electrocautery (EC). METHODS A systematic literature search was performed to identify all studies comparing UD and EC in gastric cancer surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared using weighted mean differences (WMDs) and odds ratios (ORs). RESULTS Five studies were included in this meta-analysis, comprising 489 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with EC, UD was associated with significantly shorter operation time (P = 0.03), less intraoperative blood loss (P = 0.002), lower morbidity (P = 0.02), and reduced postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.03). However, there was no significant difference between the two surgical techniques with regards to postoperative abdominal drainage (P = 0.17), and total cost in hospital (P = 0.59). CONCLUSIONS Compared to EC, the use of UD during open gastrectomy can provide several improved outcomes for operation time, intraoperative blood loss, overall morbidity, and postoperative hospital stay. It appears that UD can be used instead of conventional EC in open gastric cancer surgery, although more larger trials with long follow-up should be performed.

Abstract
Direct deposition of graphene on a dielectric substrate is demonstrated using a chemical vapor deposition system with a two-temperature reactor. The two-temperature reactor is utilized to offer sufficient, well-proportioned floating Cu atoms and to provide a temperature gradient for facile synthesis of graphene on dielectric surfaces. The evaporated Cu atoms catalyze the reaction in the presented method. C atoms and Cu atoms respectively act as the nuclei for forming graphene film in the low-temperature zone and the zones close to the high-temperature zones. A uniform and high-quality graphene film is formed in an atmosphere of sufficient and well-proportioned floating Cu atoms. Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy confirm the presence of uniform and high-quality graphene.

Abstract
Two piggyBac-like elements (PLEs) were identified in the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, and were designated as HaPLE1 and HaPLE2. HaPLE1 is flanked by 16 bp inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) and the duplicated TTAA tetranucleotide, and contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 1794 bp with the presumed DDD domain, indicating that this element may be an active autonomously mobile element. HaPLE2 was found with the same ITRs, but lacks the majority of an ORF-encoding transposase. Thus, this element was thought to be a non-autonomous element. Transposable element displays and distribution of the two PLEs in individuals from three different H. armigera populations suggest that transmobilization of HaPLE2 by the transposase of HaPLE1 may be likely, and mobilization of HaPLE1 might occur not only within the same individual, but also among different individuals. In addition, horizontal transfer was probably involved in the evolution of PLEs between H. armigera and Trichoplusia ni.

Abstract
DNA index and cell cycle distribution were studied by flow cytometry in 32 cases of ovarian borderline cystadenoma, 16 ovarian cystadenocarcinoma and 12 ovarian benign cystadenoma, and their relations to pathological patterns of the diseases were inquired. The results showed that the DNA index and S+G2M phase in cell cycle of the diseases were related to their pathological patterns. The DNA index and S+G2M cell were increased by turn from benign to borderline and to malignant tumor. DNA index and cell cycle distribution might be valuable in reflecting the biological behavior of deteriorating ovarian cystadenoma. The authors consider that determination of DNA content and cell cycle could be biological indexes of supplementary diagnosis for the deterioration of borderline tumor.
