Abstract
The overall survival of patients with lower grade glioma (LGG) that might develop into high-grade malignant glioma shows marked heterogeneity. The currently used clinical evaluation index is not sufficient to predict precise prognostic outcomes accurately. To optimize survival risk stratification and the personalized management of patients with LGG, there is an urgent need to develop an accurate risk prediction model. The TCGA-LGG dataset, downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) portal, was used as a training cohort, and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) dataset and Rembrandt dataset were used as validation cohorts. The levels of various cancer hallmarks were quantified, which identified glycolysis as the primary overall survival-related risk factor in LGGs. Furthermore, using various bioinformatic and statistical methods, we developed a strong glycolysis-related gene signature to predict prognosis. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that in our model, high-risk glioma correlated with the chemoradiotherapy resistance and poor survival. Moreover, based on established risk model and other clinical features, a decision tree and a nomogram were built, which could serve as useful tools in the diagnosis and treatment of LGGs. This study indicates that the glycolysis-related gene signature could distinguish high-risk and low‐risk patients precisely, and thus can be used as an independent clinical feature.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM), a predominant central nervous system (CNS) malignancy, is correlated with high mortality and severe morbidity. Mammalian methyltransferase-like 7B (METTL7B) as a methyltransferase has been identified to participate in cancer progression. However, its function in GBM is elusive. Accordingly, we aimed to explore the effect of METTL7B on GBM. The expression of METTL7B and EGR2 in GBM patients and GBM cells were detected by qPCR, western blots and immunohistochemical staining. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assays. Cell proliferation was determined by EdU, colony formation, and tumor sphere formation assays. METTL7B shRNA was injected into the Balb/c nude mice. The size and weight of isolated tumor was measured. And the expression levels of Ki67, METTL7B and EGR1 were examined by immunohistochemical staining. METTL7B was significantly elevated, while EGR1 was downregulated in clinical GBM tissues. METTL7B upregulation was associated with the low overall survival of GBM patients. Moreover, METTL7B depletion remarkably attenuated GBM cell proliferation. Mechanistically, METTL7B overexpression inhibited EGR1 expression in GBM cells. EGR1 knockdown rescued the inhibitory effect of METTL7B depletion on GBM cell proliferation. Meanwhile, METTL7B depletion arrested more GBM cells at the G0/G1, but fewer cells at the S phase, which EGR1 knockdown reversed these effects. Furthermore, tumorigenicity analysis revealed that METTL7B promotes tumor growth of GBM cells in vivo. METTL7B contributes to the malignant progression of GBM by inhibiting EGR1 expression. METTL7B and EGR1 may be utilized as the treatment targets for GBM therapy.

Abstract
The occurrence of glioma is gradually promoted by various factors, and it has gone through multiple stages of development, involving abnormal expression of multiple genes. One of the important reasons for the development of gliomas is the interaction of genetic factors and the environment. Non-coding transcripts can also form this high-level structure, and the formation of binding sites for interactions between lncRNA and proteins, DNA, and other RNA molecules may be related to their structural diversity. Due to the importance of glioma-related research and the potential effectiveness of lncRNA, this paper focuses on the mechanism of long-chain non-coding RNA targeting the Mir signal axis to regulate apoptosis, invasion and migration of glioma U251 cells. In this paper, human glioma cell line U251 was used as experimental material for simulation analysis. The results showed that after miR simulation, the pass rate of U251 stem cells through the filter was 17.3%, which was significantly less than 85.4% of group C; compared with 77.6% of the negative control group, the cell penetration rate of the miR inhibitor group was significantly improved. 92.5%. The miR expression level can affect the invasion ability of U251 stem cells, and can negatively regulate the expression of fzd4 to inhibit the invasion and metastasis of glioma U251 cells.

Abstract
Many-body excitations in X-ray photoemission spectra have been difficult to simulate from first principles. We have recently developed a cumulant-based one-electron Green's function method using the real-time coupled-cluster-singles equation-of-motion approach (RT-EOM-CCS) that provides a general framework for treating these problems. Here we extend this approach to include double excitations in the ground-state energy and in the coupled cluster amplitudes, which have been implemented using subroutines generated by the Tensor Contraction Engine (TCE). As in the case of the singles approximation, RT-EOM-CCSD yields a nonperturbative cumulant form of the Green's function in terms of the time-dependent cluster amplitudes, adding nonlinear corrections to the traditional cumulant forms. The extended approach is applied to the core-hole spectral function for small molecular systems. We find that, when core-optimized basis sets are used, the doubles contributions reduce the mean absolute errors in the core binding energies of the 10e systems from 0.8 to 0.3 eV. They also significantly improve the quasiparticle-satellite gap by reducing its overestimation from about 3-5 to about 0-1 eV in CH4, NH3, and H2O, and also improving the overall shape of the satellite features. Finally, we demonstrate the application of the new implementation to the larger, classical XPS ESCA series of molecules and show that the singles approximation can be paired with a modest basis set to study carbon speciation.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of self-support on loneliness, the mediation effect of school belonging, and the moderation effect of self-esteem using a sample comprising 1,126 Chinese mainland primary school students, 621 are boys and 505 are girls, and their mean age was 10.51 years (SD = 1.63, range 8–13). Participants completed questionnaires regarding self-support, loneliness, school belonging and self-esteem. In the model hypothesis, self-support is an independent variable, loneliness is an outcome variable, school belonging is a mediating variable, and self-esteem is a regulatory variable. After controlling the demographic variables, the data were analyzed, and the results showed that: (1) self-support had a significantly negative predictive effect on loneliness; (2) the relation between self-support and loneliness was mediated by school belonging; and (3) the relation between school belonging and loneliness was moderated by self-esteem, supporting the moderated mediation model. Moderated mediation analysis further indicated that the mediated path make loneliness weaker for pupils with higher levels of self-esteem. These results revealed the formation mechanism of loneliness in primary school students and have certain enlightenment significance for the intervention of loneliness in primary school students. These results revealed the formation mechanism of loneliness among primary school students and have significant implications for interventions against loneliness in the primary school context.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of the purple sign for predicting long-term rebleeding events in cirrhotic patients following endoscopic selective varices devascularization. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 97 patients with liver cirrhosis, who had a history of gastroesophageal variceal bleeding and underwent endoscopic selective varices devascularization. Thirty-two of the patients showed purple sign after endoscopic treatment. We used propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize the selection bias of the patients (purple sign vs no purple sign) and reduce the intergroup differences of clinical characteristics. The primary outcome measure of this study was cumulative rebleeding events after endoscopic selective varices devascularization. RESULTS The 1-year rebleeding rate (27.0% vs 36.7%) or 6-month rebleeding rate (10.9% vs 26.9%) following endoscopic treatment was not significantly different between the purple sign group and no purple sign group before PSM (P=0.2385). But after PSM, the 1-year rebleeding rate (28.2% vs 56.4%) and 6-month rebleeding rate (5.0% vs 37.0%) were significantly lower in the purple sign group than in the no purple sign group (P=0.0304). CONCLUSIONS The presence of purple sign indicates a lower risk of rebleeding after endoscopic treatment of cirrhotic gastroesophageal varices and a potentially favorable treatment response after endoscopic therapy, thus providing a clinical indicator for stratification of the patients for sequential endoscopic sessions.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of tinnitus in Sichuan and Chongqing. Methods: We designed a tinnitus epidemiological questionnaire. The multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling methods was applied to obtain study subjects in six areas (Nanchong, Jiangjin, Fengdu, Yunyang, Suining and Ya'an), which were selected for epidemiological investigation. Home visit completion of epidemiological questionnaires was conducted. The trained investigators guided the respondents to fill in the tinnitus epidemiological questionnaires, and the epidemiological status of six areas on prevalence and risk factor was investigated. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Sampling population were 10 289, in which 9 273 were valid questionnaires. There were 4 281 males and 4 992 females, with an average age of 47.3 years, among which 34.83% (3 230/9 273) had tinnitus. 3.99% (370/9 273) were diagnosed with bothersome tinnitus. In a multivariable logistic regression mod, the following factors were associated with onsetting of tinnitus: sleep disorder [Odds Ratio(OR)=3.74] and noise exposure(OR=1.99). The risk of disease was lowest in the age of 30-40 years old, while the risk of disease was higher for people under 30 and over 40. In another multivariable logistic regression mode, the following factors were associated with having bothersome tinnitus: older people were more likely to suffer from tinnitus, sleep disorders (OR=4.68) and noise exposure (OR=1.56). Conclusions: The prevalence of tinnitus in Sichuan and Chongqing is about 34.83%, but most of the tinnitus is short-lived and has low loudness, which will not affect the patients. Only a small number of patients with tinnitus (3.99%) persist and affect their health and need treatment. The occurrence and exacerbation of tinnitus may be related to sleep, age, and noise exposure.

Abstract
Based on interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory, family systems theory, and psychological inflexibility theory, this study aimed to examine the mediating roles of a protective factor (self-esteem) and a risk factor (psychological inflexibility) on the influence of parenting style on adolescent mental health. A sample of Chinese adolescents (n = 916, 46% male, mean age = 14.44 years, SD = 1.84 years) completed the Short Egna Minnen Barndoms Uppfostran, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire for Youth, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Depression Subscale of the Youth Self-Report. Results show that the self-esteem and psychological inflexibility play a chain mediating role in the relationship between parenting style and adolescent mental health. Specifically, parental emotional warmth had a positive effect on adolescent mental health through the chain mediating effects of self-esteem and psychological inflexibility. Parental rejection and parental over-protection had negative effects on adolescent mental health by lowering self-esteem but increasing psychological inflexibility. These results provide further guidance in the prevention of and intervention in adolescent mental health problems.

Abstract
Green’s function methods provide a robust, general framework within many-body theory for treating electron correlation in both excited states and x-ray spectra. Conventional methods using the Dyson equation or the cumulant expansion are typically based on the GW self-energy approximation. In order to extend this approximation in molecular systems, a non-perturbative real-time coupled-cluster cumulant Green’s function approach has been introduced, where the cumulant is obtained as the solution to a system of coupled first order, non-linear differential equations. This approach naturally includes non-linear corrections to conventional cumulant Green’s function techniques where the cumulant is linear in the GW self-energy. The method yields the spectral function for the core Green’s function, which is directly related to the x-ray photoemission spectra (XPS) of molecular systems. The approach also yields very good results for binding energies and satellite excitations. The x-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) is then calculated using a convolution of the core spectral function and an effective, one-body XAS. Here this approach is extended to include the full coupled-cluster-singles (CCS) core Green’s function by including the complete form of the non-linear contributions to the cumulant as well as all single, double, and triple cluster excitations in the CC amplitude equations. This approach naturally builds in orthogonality and shake-up effects analogous to those in the Mahan-Noizeres-de Dominicis edge singularity corrections that enhance the XAS near the edge. The method is illustrated for the XPS and XAS of NH3.

Abstract
Here we report on the first ultrabright fluorescent nanothermometers, ∼50 nm-size particles, capable of measuring temperature in 3D and down to the nanoscale. The temperature is measured through the recording of the ratio of fluorescence intensities of fluorescent dyes encapsulated inside the nanochannels of the silica matrix of each nanothermometer. The brightness of each particle excited at 488 nm is equivalent to the fluorescence coming from 150 molecules of rhodamine 6G and 1700 molecules of rhodamine B dyes. The fluorescence of both dyes is excited with a single wavelength due to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). We demonstrate repeatable measurements of temperature with the uncertainty down to 0.4 K and a constant sensitivity of ∼1%/K in the range of 20-50 °C, which is of particular interest for biomedical applications. Due to the high fluorescence brightness, we demonstrate the possibility of measurement of accurate 3D temperature distributions in a hydrogel. The accuracy of the measurements is confirmed by numerical simulations. We further demonstrate the use of single nanothermometers to measure temperature. As an example, 5-8 nanothermometers are sufficient to measure temperature with an error of 2 K (with the measurement time of >0.7 s).

Abstract
To realize the accurate extraction of surface water in complex environment, this study takes Sri Lanka as the study area owing to the complex geography and various types of water bodies. Based on Google Earth engine and Sentinel-2 images, an automatic water extraction model in complex environment(AWECE) was developed. The accuracy of water extraction by AWECE, NDWI, MNDWI and the revised version of multi-spectral water index (MuWI-R) models was evaluated from visual interpretation and quantitative analysis. The results show that the AWECE model could significantly improve the accuracy of water extraction in complex environment, with an overall accuracy of 97.16%, and an extremely low omission error (0.74%) and commission error (2.35%). The AEWCE model could effectively avoid the influence of cloud shadow, mountain shadow and paddy soil on water extraction accuracy. The model can be widely applied in cloudy, mountainous and other areas with complex environments, which has important practical significance for water resources investigation, monitoring and protection.

Abstract
Green's function methods within many-body perturbation theory provide a general framework for treating electronic correlations in excited states and spectra. Here, we develop the cumulant form of the one-electron Green's function using a real-time coupled-cluster equation-of-motion approach, in an extension of our previous study (Rehr J.; et al. J. Chem. Phys. 2020, 152, 174113). The approach yields a nonperturbative expression for the cumulant in terms of the solution to a set of coupled first-order, nonlinear differential equations. The method thereby adds nonlinear corrections to traditional cumulant methods, which are linear in the self-energy. The approach is applied to the core-hole Green's function and is illustrated for a number of small molecular systems. For these systems, we find that the nonlinear contributions yield significant improvements, both for quasiparticle properties such as core-level binding energies and for inelastic losses that correspond to satellites observed in photoemission spectra.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Platelet activation after contact to subendothelial collagen following atherosclerotic plaque rupture can lead to arterial thrombosis with acute thrombotic vascular occlusion. Annexin A7 (AnxA7) is an intracellular Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding protein that participates in the regulation of prostaglandin production in inflammatory diseases, but also in cell survival and tumor growth.
Objective
In the present study, we aimed to determine the role of AnxA7 for platelet Ca2+ signaling and lipid metabolism in platelet activation and arterial thrombosis in gene-targeted mice lacking annexin A7 (Anxa7−/−).
Results
AnxA7 is strongly expressed in platelets of platelet-rich human coronary thrombi aspirated from patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. Functionally, platelet aggregation and dense granule secretion were significantly abrogated in Anxa7−/− platelets as compared to wildtype platelets (Anxa7+/+) after activation with collagen or collagen-related peptide (CRP), a specific agonist of the major platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI). Further, in vitro thrombus formation on a collagen-coated surface under high arterial shear rates was significantly diminished in Anxa7-deficient platelets, and thrombotic vascular occlusion after FeCl3-induced injury in vivo was blunted in Anxa7−/−bone marrow chimeric mice, but no prolongation of bleeding time was observed. Moreover, Anxa7−/− platelets showed a significant reduction of IP3 production due to an abolished phospholipase C (PLC) gamma2 phosphorylation resulting in an abolished increase of [Ca2+]i after platelet activation with CRP.
Moreover, we could show by quantitative lipidomics analysis that annexin A7 critically affects platelet oxylipid metabolism following activation of GPVI-dependent platelet signalling since Anxa7−/− platelets showed a significant reduction of the bioactive metabolites thromboxane A2 and 12(S)-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HETE) levels as well as significantly reduced levels of several other prostaglandins following stimulation with collagen or CRP. Finally, defective PLCgamma2 phosphorylation, IP1 production and blunted increase of [Ca2+]i in Anxa7−/− platelets could be rescued by exogenous addition of 12(S)-HETE indicating that AnxA7 is a critical regulator of the platelet oxygenase 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) in GPVI-dependent platelet Ca2+ signalling during arterial thrombosis following activation by collagen.
Conclusions
The present study reveals annexin A7 as a critical regulator of oxylipid metabolism and Ca2+ signaling in GPVI-dependent platelet activation. Anxa7-deficiency further results in decreased in vitro and in vivo thrombus formation, but does not affect bleeding time.
In conclusion, annexin A7 plays an important role in platelet signaling during arterial thrombosis and thus, may reflect a promising target for novel antiplatelet strategies.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with iodine-125 ((125)I) seed brachytherapy in the treatment of spinal metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) and toassess the changes inthe grade of epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: A total of 37 MESCC patients treated with PVP combined with (125)I seed brachytherapy in the interventional and vascular surgery department of Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University from January 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 23 cases of bilateral lower limbs paralysis. Total diseased vertebrae are 39 segments. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and paralysis of lower extremities were evaluated regularly before and after treatment, and VAS values at different follow-up time points were compared. At the same time, MRI was used to evaluate the changes of ESCC grade in the spinal canal and calculate the local lesion efficiency after operation. The postoperative local lesion efficiency at different follow-up times was compared. Results: PVP combined with (125)I seed implantation in all diseased vertebral bodies was successful. The average injection volume of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was (3.2±1.3) ml/segment, the average number of (125)I seed implanted was (25.0±8.6) seeds/segment and the average radiation dose was (15.0±5.1) mCi/segment. The VAS before operation was 8.5, and postoperative VAS were respectively 3.6±1.3, 3.8±1.5, 3.4±1.4, 5.5±1.0, 5.9±1.4 at 5 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after operation. The differences between all follow-up time points and preoperative VAS values were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Compared with 5 days, 1 month and 3 months after operation, VAS increased significantly at 6 months and 1 year after operation, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.001); there was no significant difference between the VAS value at 6 months after operation and 1 year after operation (P=0.405). At a follow-up of 3 months, 22 of 23 patients with paralysis of bilateral lower limbs regained the functions of autonomous walking and voiding; the effective rates of MESCC local lesions evaluated by MRI at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and>1 year were 89.7%, 91.9%, 90.6%, and 94.7%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant differences among those follow-up time points (all P>0.05). Conclusions: PVP combined with (125)I seed brachytherapy in the treatment of MESCC has significant improvement in immediate pain relief and spinal cord function. After combined treatment, MRI showed that the tumors around the spinal cord regressed dramatically, which could considerably reduce the MESCC grade and remain stable for a long time.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma at multiple centers in China. Methods: Between December 2015 and August 2019, the clinical data of 143 patients who underwent LRHC in Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Affiliated Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were collected prospectively. There were 92 males and 51 females with age of (64±11) years (range: 53 to 72 years). Bismuth type: type I, 38 cases (26.6%), type Ⅱ, 19 cases (13.3%), type Ⅲa, 15 cases (10.5%), type Ⅲb, 28 cases (19.6%) and type Ⅳ, 43 cases (30.0%). The patients within the first 10 operation cases in each operation time (the first 10 patients in each operation team) were divided into group A (77 cases), and the patients after 10 cases in each operation time were classified as group B (66 cases); the cases with more than 10 cases in the center were further divided into group A(1) (116 cases), and the center with less than 10 cases was set as group A(2) (27 cases). T test or Wilcoxon test was used to compare the measurement data between groups, and the chi square test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the counting data between groups. Kaplan Meier curve was used for survival analysis. Results: All patients successfully completed laparoscopic procedure. The mean operation time was (421.3±153.4) minutes (range: 159 to 770 minutes), and the intraoperative blood loss was 100 to 1 500 ml (median was 300 ml) .Recent post-operative complications contained bile leakage, abdominal bleeding, abdominal infection, gastrointestinal bleeding, and delay gastric emptying, pulmonary infection, liver failure, et al.The post-operative hospital stay was (15.9±9.2) days. The operation time in group B was relatively reduced ( (429.5±190.7)minutes vs. (492.3±173.1)minutes, t=2.063, P=0.041) and the blood loss (465 ml vs. 200 ml) was also reduced (Z=2.021, P=0.043) than that in group B. The incidence of postoperative biliary fistula and lung infection in patients in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (χ(2)=4.341, 0.007; P=0.037, 0.047) .Compared with group A(2), the operation time in group A(1) was relatively reduced( (416.3±176.5)minutes vs. (498.1±190.4)minutes, t=2.136, P=0.034) , the incidence of bile leakage and abdominal cavity infection in group A(1) was lower than that in group A(2) (χ(2)=7.537, 3.162; P=0.006, 0.046) . Kaplan Meier survival curve showed that the difference of short-term survival time between group A and group B was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusions: The completion of laparoscopic hilar cholangiocarcinoma radical surgery is based on improved surgical skills, and proficiency in standardized operation procedures.It is feasible for laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma to well experienced surgeon with cases be strictly screened, but it is not recommended for widespread promotion at this exploratory stage.
