Abstract
Given the insidious and high-fatality nature of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the emergence of fluoride as a newly identified risk factor demands serious consideration alongside traditional risk factors. While vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a pivotal role in the progression of CVDs, the toxicological impact of fluoride on VSMCs remains largely uncharted. In this study, we constructed fluorosis model in SD rats and A7R5 aortic smooth muscle cell lines to confirm fluoride impaired VSMCs. Fluoride aggravated the pathological damage of rat aorta in vivo. Then A7R5 were exposed to fluoride with concentration ranging from 0 to 1200 μmol/L over a 24-h period, revealing a dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and migration. The further metabolomic analysis showed alterations in metabolite profiles induced by fluoride exposure, notably decreasing organic acids and lipid molecules level. Additionally, gene network analysis underscored the frequency of fluoride's interference with amino acids metabolism, potentially impacting the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Our results also highlighted the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters pathway as a central element in VSMC impairment. Moreover, we observed a dose-dependent increase in osteopontin (OPN) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) mRNA level and a dose-dependent decrease in ABC subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1) and bestrophin 1 (BEST1) mRNA level. These findings advance our understanding of fluoride as a CVD risk factor and its influence on VSMCs and metabolic pathways, warranting further investigation into this emerging risk factor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between bone metabolism markers, bone mineral density (BMD), and sarcopenia. METHODS A total of 331 consecutive patients aged ≥ 60 years who were hospitalized between November 2020 and December 2021 were enrolled. Participants were divided into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups according to the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia criteria (AWGS, 2019). The clinical data, bone metabolism markers (β-CTX, N-MID, and TP1NP), and BMD were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Age, β-CTX, and N-MID of the sarcopenia group were higher than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05), but the BMD T values were lower than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that increased femoral neck BMD (FNBMD) was a protective factor for sarcopenia, while increased β-CTX was a risk factor. Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis showed that the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia were positively correlated with FNBMD and negatively correlated with β-CTX and N-MID. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that BMI and FNBMD significantly positively affected muscle strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM). The FNBMD significantly positively affected physical performance, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected muscle strength, ASM, and physical performance. CONCLUSION Increased FNBMD may be a protective factor against sarcopenia, and increased β-CTX may be a risk factor. The FNBMD significantly positively affected the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected them. BMD and bone metabolism marker levels may be considered in early screening for sarcopenia.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the distribution characteristics of peripheral retinal defocus in children and adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 500 individuals aged 3 to 18 years, who visited the People's Hospital of Lincang, the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University and Dali Ophthalmology Hospital between January and December 2021. Data of the right eye of each participant was analyzed. There were 226 males (45.20%) and 274 females (54.80%), with an average age of (10.79±3.79) years. All participants underwent post-cycloplegic refraction, optical biometry, and intraocular pressure measurement to obtain spherical equivalent, average corneal curvature, axial length, and intraocular pressure. Multispectral refraction topography was performed to obtain topographic maps and values at various field angles and orientations of peripheral retinal defocus. Based on multispectral refraction topography, peripheral retinal defocus values were categorized as crater type, hemilateral upturn type, saddle type, and relatively flat type. The distribution of different refractive states was analyzed. Results: The spherical equivalent of the 500 participants was(-1.51±2.61) D, axial length was (24.10±1.28) mm, and average corneal curvature was (43.20±1.22) D. Among the 500 eyes, 382 exhibited hyperopic peripheral retinal defocus values, with 316 eyes (82.72%) being myopic. Myopic peripheral retinal defocus values were observed in 118 eyes, with 15 eyes (12.72%) being myopic. Among different types of peripheral retinal defocus values, 112 eyes (22.4%) exhibited a crater type, 153 eyes (30.6%) exhibited a hemilateral upturn type, 107 eyes (21.4%) exhibited a saddle type, and 128 eyes (25.6%) exhibited a flat type. The proportion of myopia was 82.14% (92 eyes), 69.28% (106 eyes), 60.75% (65 eyes), and 3.90% (5 eyes), respectively. The peripheral retinal defocus values at 15°, 30°, and 45° were (0.01±0.08) D, (0.06±0.21) D, and (0.20±0.37) D, respectively. The peripheral retinal defocus values at temporal, inferior, nasal, and superior locations were (0.58±0.69) D, (0.52±0.63) D, (0.21±0.64) D, and (-0.26±0.67) D, respectively. Notably, the superior primarily manifested as myopic, while the others were predominantly hyperopic. Conclusions: Approximately three-fourths of children and adolescents exhibit hyperopic peripheral retinal defocus values, with a higher prevalence of myopia in this subgroup. The hyperopia peripheral retinal defocus value increases with the distance from the retina to the macula. The peripheral retinal defocus values between superior and inferior, nasal and temporal locations are asymmetrical, with the temporal hyperopic peripheral retinal defocus value being most prominent and the superior myopic peripheral retinal defocus value being most evident.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a chronic liver disease characterized by a progressive wound healing response caused by chronic liver injury. Currently, there are no approved clinical treatments for liver fibrosis. Sevelamer is used clinically to treat hyperphosphatemia and has shown potential therapeutic effects on liver diseases. However, there have been few studies evaluating the therapeutic effects of sevelamer on liver fibrosis, and the specific mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, we investigated the antifibrotic effects of sevelamer-induced low inorganic phosphate (Pi) stress in vitro and in vivo and analyzed the detailed mechanisms. We found that low Pi stress could inhibit the proliferation of activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) by promoting apoptosis, effectively suppressing the migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of hepatic stellate cells. Additionally, low Pi stress significantly increased the antioxidant stress response. It is worth noting that low Pi stress indirectly inhibited the activation and migration of HSCs by suppressing transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) expression in macrophages. In a rat model of liver fibrosis, oral administration of sevelamer significantly decreased blood phosphorus levels, improved liver function, reduced liver inflammation, and increased the antioxidant stress response in the liver. Our study revealed that the key mechanism by which sevelamer inhibited liver fibrosis involved binding to gastrointestinal phosphate, resulting in a decrease in blood phosphorus levels, the downregulation of TGF-β expression in macrophages, and the inhibition of HSC migration and fibrosis-related protein expression. Therefore, our results suggest that sevelamer-induced low Pi stress can attenuate hepatic stellate cell activation and inhibit the progression of liver fibrosis, making it a potential option for the treatment of liver fibrosis and other refractory chronic liver diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety of early enteral nutrition (EEN) support in patients with severe intra-abdominal infection and intestinal fistulas. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. We collected relevant clinical data of 204 patients with severe intra-abdominal infection and intestinal fistulas who had been managed in the No. 1 Department of General Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University between 1 January 2017 and 1 January 2020. The patients were allocated to EEN or delayed enteral nutrition (DEN) groups depending on whether enteral nutrition had been instituted within 48 hours of admission to the intensive care unit. The primary outcome was 180-day mortality. Other outcomes included rates of intraperitoneal hemorrhage, septic shock, open abdominal cavity, bloodstream infection, mechanical ventilation, and continuous renal replacement therapy. Risk factors for mortality were analyzed by logistic regression. Results: There were no significant differences in hematological data or other baseline characteristics between the two groups at the time of admission to the intensive care unit (all P>0.05). However, septic shock (31.2% [15/48] vs. 15.4% [24/156], χ2=4.99, P=0.025), continuous renal replacement therapy (27.1% [13/48] versus 9.0% [14/156], χ2=8.96, P=0.003), and 180-day mortality (31.2% [15/48] vs. 7.7% [12/156], χ2=15.75, P<0.001) were significantly more frequent in the EEN than the DEN group (all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that older age (OR=1.082, 95%CI:1.027-1.139,P=0.003), worse Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores (OR=1.189, 95%CI: 1.037-1.363, P=0.013), higher C-reactive protein (OR=1.013, 95%CI:1.004-1.023, P=0.007) and EEN (OR=8.844, 95%CI:1.809- 43.240, P=0.007) were independent risk factors for death in patients with severe intra-abdominal infection and intestinal fistulas. Conclusion: EEN may lead to adverse events and increase mortality in patients with both enterocutaneous fistulas and severe abdominal infection. EEN should be implemented with caution in such patients.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal dysfunction(GID) is frequently seen in critically ill patients and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is an integral part of critical care, which may be associated with improved clinical outcomes. The international practical guidelines or consensus for critically ill patients were recommended based on the results of previous investigations. However, the rationale of these recommendations was controversial by the findings of the most recent studies. This review discusses the current developments and controversy about nutritional assessment of critically ill patients prior to medical nutrition therapy, early enteral nutrition, target of trophic feeding, and time to target achievement. This review summarizes the available evidence of MNT in critically ill patients and offers suggestions for clinical practice and future research.

Abstract
The early symptoms of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are not specific, and there is a high rate of misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and lack of awareness among clinicians. Understanding the current epidemiological characteristics of CTEPH is helpful to raise the understanding level of Chinese clinicians on CTEPH and improve the current status of prevention and treatment. However, epidemiological information and relevant reviews on CTEPH are currently lacking in China. In this review, we combined the published epidemiological literature on CTEPH in the real world, summarized the research overview, prevalence, incidence, survival rate and risk factors of CTEPH, and provided an outlook for the development of multicenter and high-quality CTEPH epidemiological research in China.

Abstract
As the most efficient method to treat hepatocellular carcinoma in the immediate or advanced stage, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is coming into the era of microsphere (MP). Drug-eluting beads have shown their huge potential as an embolic agent and drug carrier for chemoembolization, but their sizes are strictly limited to be above 40 μm, which was considered to occlude vessels in a safe mode. microsphere smaller than 40 µm is easy to be washed out and transported to the normal liver lobe or other organs, causing severe adverse events and failed embolization. To determine whether sevelamer ultrafine particle (0.2-0.5 µm) is qualified as a safe and efficient embolic agent, we investigated the safety and therapeutic efficiency of transarterial sevelamer embolization (TASE) in the VX2 rabbit liver cancer model, aiming to challenge the "40 µm" rule on the selection criteria of the MP. In a four-arm study, blank bead (Callisphere, 100-300 µm), luminescent polystyrene microsphere (10, 100 µm), and sevelamer particle were transarterially administered to evaluate the threshold size of the MP size for intrahepatic or extrahepatic permeability. Another four-arm study was designed to clarify the safety and efficiency of preclinical transarterial sevelamer embolizationTASE tests over other techniques. Sham (saline), TASE, C-TACE, and D-TACE (n = 6) were compared in terms of serum chemistry, histopathology, and tumor necrosis ratio. In the first trials, the "40 µm" rule was detectable on the VX2 cancer model, but the regulation has no application to the new embolic agent as sevelamer ultrafine particles have not been found to leak out from the VX2 lesions, only found in the embolized vessels. Pathology proves that less viable tumor residue was found 2 weeks after the procedure, evidencing a better therapeutic outcome. No adverse events were found except for a short stress response. These results indicate that sevelamer is a safe and efficient embolic as an alternative to the current MP-based embolization therapy techniques.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the roles of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in regulating RP11-426A6.5 in the development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Methods: The methylation and expression levels of lncRNAs were identified and important lncRNAs were screened utilizing long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) m6A methylation microarray. Cancer and para cancer tissue samples were taken from 48 LSCC patients hospitalized to the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between January and September 2017. Expression profiling microarray was performed in 3 of 48 LSCC samples, and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (MeRIP-qPCR) and quantitative real-time fluorescent PCR (qRT-PCR) were performed in the remaining 45 LSCC samples to verify the m6A modification and expression levels of RP11-426A6.5. Correlations between RP11-426A6.5 and clinical factors were anlysed. Laryngeal cancer cell line with low expression of RP11-426A6.5 was created in vitro using RNA interference (RNAi) technology. The 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) cell proliferation experiment, wound healing experiment, and transwell invasion experiment were used respectively to measure the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LSCC cells. The effect of RP11-426A6.5 down-regulation on the growth of transplanted tumors in vivo was verified by nude mice tumorigenesis assay. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and sequence-based RNA adenosine methylation site predictor (SRAMP) website were used to predict the enzymes and corresponding methylation sites. MazF digestion was chosen to validate the binding sites. RNAi technology was used to observe the changes in cell function after interfering with the expression of the corresponding genes of the modified enzymes. MeRIP-qPCR was used to detect the level of RP11-426A6.5 m6A cell line treated with actinomycin D was used to observe the stability of RP11-426A6.5. Results: RP11-426A6.5 methylation and expression levels were significantly higher in LSCC tissues than those in paracancerous tissues (methylation levels: 23.828±4.975 vs 20.280±3.607; expression levels: 1.197±0.314 vs 1.015±0.170, all P values<0.05). RP11-426A6.5 expression levels were closely correlated with T stage (T1-2: 1.081±0.298 vs T3-4: 1.306±0.292, χ2=5.35, P<0.05). The postoperative survival of patients with high RP11-426A6.5 expressions was significantly lower than that of patients with low RP11-426A6.5 expression (P=0.046). Assays in vitro and in vivo showed that the downregulation of RP11-426A6.5 significantly decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of LSCC cells and the growth of transplanted tumors. The binding of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), an m6A-modified enzyme, to the corresponding methylation site of RP11-426A6.5 enhanced its stability and mediated its regulation of malignant behaviors of LSCC cells. Conclusions: RP11-426A6.5 can regulate the malignant behaviors of LSCC cells, which is mediated by the m6A modification process involving in the methyltransferase METTL3.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between plasma heat shock proteins 90α(Hsp90α) levels and the white matter hyperintensity(WMH) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease(SVD). Methods: Patients admitted to the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March to August 2021 and diagnosed with WMH by magnetic resonance examination (MRI) were selected as the case group, matched with physical examination patients who visited the Department of Medical Examination during the same period and showed no WMH on MRI and no history of neurological diseases as the control group, and the level of plasma Hsp90α was quantitatively detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare whether there was a difference in plasma Hsp90α levels between the control group and the case group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the related factors of WMH in patients with SVD. Results: Of the 183 subjects, the control group (n=73) consisted of 28 males and 45 females, aged (54±10) years, while the case group (n=110) consisted of 71 males and 39 females, aged (64±10) years old. Plasma Hsp90α level was higher in the case group than that of the control group [53.33(35.33, 70.09) ng/ml vs 35.02(18.51, 54.95) ng/ml, P<0.001]. After adjusting for confounding factors by multivariate analysis, the results showed that plasma Hsp90α levels greater than 58.34 ng/ml was associated with WMH (P=0.002, OR=5.931, 95%CI:1.955-17.995). Conclusion: Higher level of plasma Hsp90α is associated with WMH in patients with SVD.

Abstract
Decades have witnessed rapid progress of polymeric materials for vascular embolic or chemoembolic applications. Commercially available polymeric embolics range from gelatin foam to synthetic polymers such as poly(vinyl alcohol). Current systems under investigation include tunable, bioresorbable microspheres composed of chitosan or poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives,in situgelling liquid embolics with improved safety profiles, and radiopaque embolics that are trackablein vivo. In this paper, we proposed a concept of 'responsive embolization'. Sevelamer, clinically proved as an inorganic phosphate binder, was ground into nanoparticles. Sevelamer nanoparticle is highly mobile and capable of swelling and aggregating in the presence of endogenous inorganic phosphate, thereby effectively occluding blood flow in the vessel as it was administered as an embolic agent for interventional therapy. Moreover, citrated sevelamer nanoparticles delayed the aggregation, preferable to penetrate deeply into the capillary system. On the rabbit VX2 liver cancer model, both sevelamer particles aggregates occlude the tumor feeding artery, but backflow was found for the pristine one, thereby citrate passivation of sevelamer nanoparticles endows it have potential from 'bench to bedside' as a new type of vascular embolic.

Abstract
A hyperspectral imaging system (HIS) is a helpful tool that acquires spatial and spectral information from a target. This study developed a coaxial heterogeneous HIS (CHHIS) to collect spectral images with wavelengths ranging from 400 to 1700 nm. In this system, a visible (VIS) spectrometer and a short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrometer are combined with a coaxial optical path to share the same field of view. This structure reduces the complexity of spatial registration and maintains the scanning duration of two spectrometers as that of a single spectrometer. The spectrometers are also replaceable for extending the detecting spectral range of the system. The calibration methodologies, including spatial correction, spectral calibration, and reflectance calibration, were developed for this system. The signal-to-noise ratio of VIS and SWIR spectrometers in the CHHIS was up to 40 and 60 dB when the exposure time of the VIS and SWIR imaging sensors was 1000 and 10 ms, respectively. When the target distance was at 600 mm, the spatial error of VIS and SWIR images in the scanning direction was less than 1 pixel; these results proved that the system was stable.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the incidence and treatment of radiation rectal injury complicated with anxiety, depression and somatic symptom disorder. Methods: A cross-sectional survey research method was carried out. Patients with radiation rectal injury managed by members of the editorial board of Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery were the subjects of investigation. The inclusion criteria of the survey subjects: (1) patients suffered from pelvic tumors and received pelvic radiotherapy; (2) colonoscopy showed inflammatory reaction or ulcer in the rectum. Exclusion criteria: (1) patient had a history of psycho-somatic disease before radiotherapy; (2) patient was unable to use a smart phone, unable to read and understand the questions in the questionnaire displayed on the phone; (3) patient refused to sign an informed consent form. According to the SOMA self-rating scale, PHQ-15 self-rating scale, GAD-7 and PHQ-9 self-rating scale, the electronic questionnaire of "Psychological Survey of Radiation Proctitis" was designed. The questionnaire was sent to patients with radiation rectal injury managed by the committee through the WeChat group. Observational indicators: (1) radiation rectal injury symptom assessment: using SOMA self-rating scale, radiation rectal injury symptom classification: mild group (≤3 points), moderate group (4-6 points) and severe group (> 6 points); (2) incidence of anxiety, depression and physical disorder: using GAD-7, PHQ-9 and PHQ-15 self-rating scales respectively for assessment; (3) correlation of radiation rectal injury symptom grading with anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder. Results: Seventy-one qualified questionnaires were collected, of which 41 (56.9%) were from Guangzhou. Among the 71 patients, 6 were males and 65 were females; the mean age was (55.7±9.3) years old and 48 patients (67.6%) were less than 60 years old; the median confirmed duration of radiation rectal injury was 2.0 (1.0, 5.0) years. (1) Evaluation of symptoms of radiation rectal injury: 18 cases of mild (25.4%), 27 cases of moderate (38.0%), and 26 cases of severe (36.6%). (2) Incidence of anxiety, depression and somatic disorder: 12 patients (16.9%) without comorbidities; 59 patients (83.1%) with anxiety, depression, or somatic disorder, of whom 2 patients only had anxiety, 1 patient only had depression, 9 only had somatic disorder, 2 had anxiety plus depression, 4 had anxiety plus somatic disorder, 2 had depression plus somatic disorder, and 40 had all three symptoms. (3) correlation of radiation rectal injury grading with anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder: as compared to patients in mild group and moderate group, those in severe group had higher severity of anxiety and somatic symptom disorder (Z=-2.143, P=0.032; Z=-2.045, P=0.041), while there was no statistically significant difference of depression between mild group and moderate group (Z=-1.176, P=0.240). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that radiation rectal injury symptom score was positively correlated with anxiety (r=0.300, P=0.013), depression (r=0.287, P=0.015) and somatic symptom disorder (r=0.344, P=0.003). Conclusions: The incidence of anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorder in patients with radiation rectal injury is extremely high. It is necessary to strengthen the diagnosis and treatment of somatic symptom disorder, so as to alleviate the symptoms of patients with pelvic perineum pain and improve the quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and density of Culex mosquito populations and the resistance of Culex pipiens pallens to insecticides in Jiangsu Province in 2018 and 2019. METHODS During the period from June to October in 2018 and 2019, six counties (districts, cities) were sampled in southern, northern and central Jiangsu Province as surveillance sites. The density of Culex mosquitoes was measured overnight using the light trapping technique. In addition, Culex pipiens pallens mosquitoes were collected from Hai'an of Nantong City and Yandu District of Yancheng City, central Jiangsu Province, and the sensitivity of female first filial generations to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), malation, proposur, beta cypermethrin and deltamethrin was tested using the standard WHO insecticide susceptibility test assay. RESULTS A total of 104 423 Culex mosquitoes were captured in six surveillance sites of Jiangsu Province in 2018 and 2019, and Culex quinquefasciatus (49.11%), Culex pipiens pallens (28.38%), and Culex tritaeniorhynchus (21.04%) were predominant species. The density of Culex mosquitoes started to increase since early June, peaked in July and tended to be low in late October. Culex pipiens pallens mosquitoes captured from Hai'an was susceptible to malation, while those from Yandu District were moderately resistant to malation. Culex pipiens pallens mosquitoes from both Yandu and Hai'an were moderately resistant to proposur, and were resistant to DDT, beta cypermethrin and deltamethrin. CONCLUSIONS Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex pipiens pallens and Culex tritaeniorhynchus are predominant Culex species in Jiangsu Province. Culex pipiens pallens is resistant to DT, beta cypermethrin and deltamethrin in central Jiangsu Province.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the changes of small molecular metabolites in the larvae of a deltamethrin-sensitive strain of Anopheles sinensis following exposure to deltamethrin, so as to provide the scientific basis for investigating the metabolic pathway and screening metabolic markers of deltamethrin in An. sinensis. METHODS The 50% and 75% lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC75) of deltamethrin against the larvae of a deltamethrin-sensitive strain of An. sinensis were calculated in laboratory. The type and content of An. sinensis larvae metabolites were detected using high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) following exposure to deltamethrin at LC50 and LC75 for 30 min and 24 h, and the changes of metabolites were analyzed. RESULTS The LC50 and LC75 values of deltamethrin were 4.36 × 10-3 µg/mL and 1.12 × 10-2 µg/mL against thelarvae of a deltamethrin-sensitive strain of An. sinensis. Following exposure of the larvae of a deltamethrin-sensitive strain of An. sinensis to deltamethrin at LC50 and LC75 for 30 min, the differential metabolites mainly included organic oxygen compounds, carboxylic acid and its derivatives, fatty acyl and pyrimidine nucleotides, with reduced glucose levels. Following exposure for 24 h, the differential metabolites mainly included organic oxygen compounds, carboxylic acid and its derivatives, aliphatic acyl and purine nucleotides, with increased glucose level detected. CONCLUSIONS Carbohydrate, carboxylic acid and its derivatives, fatty acyls, amino acids and their derivatives may play important roles in deltamethrin metabolism in the larvae of a deltamethrin-sensitive strain of An. sinensis.

Abstract
Infection of pancreatic necrosis is the most frequent cause of late mortality in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Most clinical guidelines of acute pancreatitis recommended that prophylactic antibiotics should be avoided. Prophylactic antibiotics can not reduce the pancreatic infection rate or mortality in patients with SAP ornecrotizing pancreatitis. Definitive infection is the only indication for rational use of antibiotics in SAP patients. Broad-spectrum antibiotics for treatment should cover enteric bacteria, and the bacteriology and antibiotic pharmacokinetics of SAP should be considered when selecting antibiotics.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis can induce systemic and local complications, with infectious pancreatic necrosis and sepsis leading to the second death peak. Enterogenous infection caused by intestinal failure is considered to be an important mechanism of secondary infection of pancreatic or peripancreatic necrosis. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of intestinal failure is the key point in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis and has an important influence on the course and prognosis of the disease. Individualized treatment should be selected according to the advantages of treatment centers and the characteristics of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Dementia Quality of Life Measure - Proxy (C-DEMQoL-Proxy). METHODS Care home residents aged ≥60 years who were diagnosed with dementia or demonstrated impairment in cognition were recruited from four care facilities in Hong Kong. Caregivers of these participants were also invited to participate. The original DEMQoL-Proxy was translated into Chinese (Cantonese) by a trained translator. The forward-translated version was reviewed by an expert panel of six experienced healthcare professionals. Revisions were made based on comments. The instrument was back-translated to English to check whether further changes were necessary. Demographic data (age, sex, type and severity of dementia, and Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] score) were collected from medical records of participants with dementia. Caregivers were interviewed by an occupational therapist or personnel supervised by the occupational therapist using the C-DEMQoL-Proxy and the Chinese version of Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease-Proxy (C-QoL-AD-Proxy). Acceptability, reliability, and validity of the C-DEMQoL-Proxy were evaluated using standard psychometric methods. RESULTS 90 individuals (82.2% women) with dementia aged 72 to 102 years were included. Their diagnosis included Alzheimer's disease (23.3%), vascular dementia (15.6%), mixed and other types of dementias (51.1%), and missing (10%). Severity was mild in 12.2%, moderate in 62.2%, and severe in 25.6%. The mean MMSE score was 12.0 ± 4.9. 20% of the caregivers were family members and the rest were professional carers. The C-DEMQoL-Proxy had good acceptability, with no floor or ceiling effects or missing data. It had good internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = 0.91) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients = 0.83). It was mildly correlated with C-QoL-AD-Proxy (r = 0.29, p < 0.01). Age and sex were not correlated with C-DEMQoL-Proxy scores. C-DEMQoL-Proxy scores were not significantly different between dementia types, severity levels, or between those with higher or lower MMSE scores. CONCLUSION The C-DEMQoL-Proxy is a valid and reliable instrument to assess health-related quality of life in individuals with dementia.

Abstract
Intestinal failure (IF) is defined as the critical reduction of functional intestines below the minimum needed to absorb nutrients and fluids, so that intravenous supplementation with parenteral nutrition (PN) is required to maintain health and/or growth. Although the benefits are evident, patients receiving PN can suffer from serious cholestasis due to lack of enteral feeding and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). One such complication that may arise is intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). Evidences from recent studies suggest that alterations in the intestinal microbiota, as well as intraluminal bile acid driven signaling, may play a critical role in both hepatic and intestinal injury. Since Marshall first proposed the concept of the gut-liver axis in 1998, the role of gut-liver axis disorders in the development of IFALD has received considerable attention. The conversation between gut and liver is the key to maintain liver metabolism and intestinal homeostasis, which influences each other and is reciprocal causation. However, as a "forgotten organ" , intestinal microbiota on the pathogenesis of IFALD has not been well reflected. As such, we propose, for the first time, the concept of gut-microbiota-liver axis to emphasize the importance of intestinal microbiota in the interaction of gut-liver axis. Analysis and research on gut-microbiota-liver axis will be of great significance for understanding the pathogenesis of IFALD and improving the prevention and treatment measures.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) on the treatment of patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC), compared with patients undergoing open cholecystectomy (OC). Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, CQVIP and WANFANG DATA and the Cochrane Library were searched for all Chinese and English literatures of randomized or non-randomized concurrent controlled trials of OC and LC treatment of GBC from the database establishment to March 2020. Two reviewers selected the studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and then a meta-analysis was subsequently performed by the RevMan 5.3 software provided by the Cochrane Library. Results: A total of 15 studies (1 074 patients) including 14 retrospective studies and 1 prospective study met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis showed that compared with OC, LC has significant short-term efficacy in the treatment of patients with gallbladder cancer, including shorter operation time (mean difference (MD) =-18.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) : -36.68-0.88; P=0.04), less intraoperative blood loss (MD=-166.57, 95%CI: -248.51--84.63; P<0.000 1), shorter post-operative hospital stays (MD=-5.00, 95%CI: -6.43--3.57; P<0.000 1), less complication rate (OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.28-0.79; P=0.004), but there was no significant difference on the aspects of recurrence rate (OR=0.48, 95%CI: 0.21-1.11; P=0.09), 5-year overall survival (HR=0.93, 95%CI: 0.54-1.61, I2=33.5%, P=0.198) and long-term survival. Conclusion: Whether it is radical cholecystectomy (RC) or simple cholecystectomy (SC), the short-term efficacy of LC is more significant than that of OC, and the long-term survival rate has no significant statistical difference. Limited by the quality of literature and experiments, the above conclusions still need to be supported by higher quality research.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of gallbladder cancer (GBC) patients in China. Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study enrolled 3 528 consecutive GBC patients diagnosed between January 2010 to December 2017 in 15 hospitals from 10 provinces. There were 1 345 (38.12%) males and 2 183 (61.88%) females.The age of diagnosis was (63.7±10.8) years old (range: 26 to 99 years old) .There were 213 patients (6.04%) in stage 0 to Ⅰ, whereas 1 059 (30.02%) in stage Ⅱ to Ⅲ, 1 874 (53.12%) in stage Ⅳ, and 382 (10.83%) unavailable. Surgery was performed on 2 255 patients (63.92%) . Three hundred and thirty-six patients received chemotherapy or radiotherapy (9.52%; of which 172 were palliative); 1 101 (31.21%) received only supportive treatment.The patient source, treatment and surgery, pathology, concomitant gallstone, and prognosis were analyzed. Results: Among the 3 528 GBC patients, 959 (27.18%) were from East China, 603 (17.09%) from East-North China, 1 533 (43.45%) from Central China, and 433(12.27%) from West China. Among the 1 578 resectable tumor, 665 (42.14%) underwent radical surgery, 913 (57.86%) underwent surgery that failed to follow the guidelines.Eight hundred and ninety-one (56.46%) patients were diagnosed before surgery, 254 (16.10%) during surgery, and 381 (24.14%) after surgery (time point of diagnosis couldn't be determined in 52 patients) .Among the 1 578 patients with resectable tumor, 759 (48.10%) had concomitant gallstone.Among the 665 patients underwent radical surgery, 69 (10.4%) showed positive resection margin, 510 (76.7%) showed negative resection margin, and 86 (12.9%) unreported margin status.The 5-year overall survival rate (5yOS) for the 3 528-patient cohort was 23.0%.The 5yOS for patients with resectable tumor was 39.6%, for patients with stage ⅣB tumor without surgery was 5.4%, and for patients with stage ⅣB tumor underwent palliative surgery was 4.7%. Conclusions: More than half GBC patients in China are diagnosed in stage Ⅳ.Curative intent surgery is valuable in improving prognosis of resectable GBC.The treatment of GBC needs further standardization.Effective comprehensive treatment for GBC is in urgent need.
