Abstract
Background:The Janus kinase (JAK)-1 preferential inhibitor filgotinib (FIL) improved rheumatoid arthritis (RA) signs and symptoms in 3 phase (P)3 trials.1–3 Like other RA therapies, JAK inhibition is associated with increased infection rates.4Objectives:To assess long-term safety across the FIL program regarding infections, including serious infections (SI).Methods:Patients (pts) meeting 2010 ACR/EULAR RA criteria in pooled analysis of P2 DARWIN 1–2 (D1–2), P3 FINCH 1–3 (F1–3), and long-term extension studies (DARWIN 3, FINCH 4) were included. The placebo (PBO)-controlled as-randomised data set included pts receiving FIL 100 mg (FIL100), FIL 200 mg (FIL200), or PBO up to week (W)12 (D1–2, F1–2). The active-controlled as-randomised data set included pts receiving FIL100, FIL200, adalimumab (ADA), or methotrexate (MTX) up to W52 (F1, F3). The long-term as-treated data set included pts in all 7 studies receiving FIL100 or FIL200; data after rerandomisation were included and contributed to treatment received.Exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years exposure (PYE) and differences with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Poisson regression; EAIRs for tuberculosis (TB) in active controlled sets were calculated using an Exact Poisson method. Kaplan-Meier (KM) event probabilities with 95% CIs were provided for SI. If pts had multiple events within the same treatment period, only the first event was counted in EAIR calculation; PYE were calculated up to the last follow-up time or day before next treatment, including after first event. For KM analysis, time to event was calculated until the first event.Results:Of 2267/1647 pts in as-treated set receiving FIL200/FIL100, 1697 had treatment-emergent infection; 118 were SI. Baseline potential risk factors for pts with SI are in Table.Table 1.Baseline characteristics of pts with/without treatment emergent SIaParameter, n (%)SIN = 92No SIN = 2491Medical history Chronic lung disease13 (14.1)125 (5.0) Chronic renal disease3 (3.3)23 (0.9) Infections and infestations29 (31.5)499 (20.0)Baseline body mass index, kg/m2 <3064 (69.6)1749 (70.2) ≥3028 (30.4)742 (29.8)Age, years <6567 (72.8)2006 (80.5) ≥6525 (27.2)485 (19.5)Former/current smoker30 (32.6)677 (27.2)Oral corticosteroids, mg <7.528 (56.0)731 (66.1) ≥7.522 (44.0)375 (33.9) Missing data421385aPhase 3 (FINCH 1-4) studies, as randomised.SI, serious infection.In 12W PBO-controlled period, infection rates were 17.9%/15.6%/13.3% for FIL200/FIL100/PBO. In 52W ADA-controlled period, infection EAIRs (95% CIs)/100 PYE were 46.9 (40.9, 53.7)/43.7 (38.0, 50.4)/43.4 (36.5, 51.5), FIL200/FIL100/ADA; and 38.5 (33.8, 43.9)/39.0 (31.1, 48.8)/42.2 (36.1, 49.3), FIL200/FIL100/MTX in 52W MTX-controlled period; 24.8 (23.1, 26.5)/34.4 (30.4, 38.8), FIL200/FIL100 in long-term analysis. In 12W PBO-controlled period, there was no active TB for FIL200/FIL100/PBO. In 52W ADA-controlled period, active TB EAIRs (95% CIs)/100 PYE were: 0 (0.0, 0.8)/0 (0.0, 0.8)/0.3 (0.0, 1.9), FIL200/FIL100/ADA and 0 (0.0, 0.6)/0 (0.0, 1.9)/0 (0.0, 1.0), FIL200/FIL100/MTX in 52W MTX-controlled period; 0/0.1 (0.0, 0.5), FIL200/FIL100 in long-term analysis.SI rate or EAIRs are in Figure. Most common infections were upper respiratory tract infection and nasopharyngitis; majority were low grade. Pneumonia was most common SI (<1%). In long-term population, event probability (95% CI) of SI was 2.2% (1.6, 2.9)/2.5% (1.8, 3.4) for FIL200/FIL100 at 52W. In F1–3 (excluding data after rerandomisation), there were no significant changes in mean neutrophil and lymphocyte counts; values remained within normal limits up to W52 for all arms.Conclusion:EAIRs of infections and SI for FIL were similar to PBO, ADA, and MTX. At 52W, incidence rates of SI were comparable for FIL100 and FIL200. Long-term SI EAIR for FIL100 was slightly higher than for FIL200.References:[1]Genovese et al.

Abstract
Background:The Janus kinase-1 preferential inhibitor filgotinib (FIL) improved rheumatoid arthritis (RA) signs and symptoms in phase (P)3 trials.1–3 RA elevates cardiovascular disease risk; statins are used to reduce risk.Objectives:To assess safety of statin and filgotinib coadministration across the clinical program.Methods:Patients (pts) meeting 2010 ACR/EULAR RA criteria in P2 DARWIN 1–2 (D1–2; NCT01888874, NCT01894516), P3 FINCH 1–3 (F1–3; NCT02889796, NCT02873936, NCT02886728), and long-term extensions DARWIN 3 and FINCH 4 (D3, F4; NCT02065700, NCT03025308) receiving FIL 100 mg (FIL100) QD, FIL 200 mg QD (FIL200), adalimumab (ADA), methotrexate (MTX), or placebo (PBO) were included. Events related to statin use were analysed as exposed by treatment received. N and % were provided.Week (W)12 PBO-controlled safety analysis included pts receiving FIL100, FIL200, or PBO for ≤12W (D1–2, F1–2); as-treated safety analysis included pts receiving long-term FIL100 QD (n=1647), FIL200 QD (n=2267), ADA (n=325), MTX (n=416), or PBO (n=781) (D1–3, F1–4); P3 as-randomised analysis included data up to W52 (F1–3) per assigned treatment.Results:In each arm, similar proportions of pts took statins at baseline (9.4%–11.9%); initiation during study was low (1.2%–6.8%). Through W12 in PBO-controlled analysis, mean creatine phosphokinase (CPK; Figure 1), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were similar regardless of statin use and remained within normal levels across all arms.Mean baseline ALT and AST levels were 20–23 and 20–22 U/L, respectively; at W12, ALT and AST ranged from 22–24 and 20–25 U/L, respectively.

Abstract
We have obtained an ultralong lifetime exciton emission in InAs/GaAs single quantum dots (QDs) when the QD films are transferred onto the Si substrate covered by Ag nanoparticles. It is found that when the separation distance from the QD layer (also the wetting layer) to the Ag nanoparticles is around 19 nm, the QD emission lifetime changes from approximately 1 to 2000 ns. A classical dipole oscillator model is used to quantitatively calculate the spontaneous radiation decay rate of the excitons in the wetting layer (WL), and the simulated calculation result is in good agreement with the experimental one, revealing that the long lifetime exciton emission is due to the existence of the dark state in the WL. The self-induced dark state stems from the destructive interference between the exciton emission field and the induced dipole field of the Ag nanoparticles.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of maggot debridement therapy (MDT) in promoting wound angiogenesis in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: (1) From June 2018 to June 2019, the patients admitted to Nanjing Junxie Hospital who met the inclusion criteria were recruited, including 12 DFU patients given MDT for three days [6 males and 6 females, aged (56±12) years] and 12 acute trauma patients without diabetes mellitus [6 males and 6 females, aged (53±10) years], who were enrolled into DFU group and non-diabetic trauma group respectively. Before and after application of MDT, the wound characteristics of patients in DFU group were observed and the wound tissue samples were taken. The wound tissue in non-diabetic trauma group was taken at patient's first visit before debridement. The expression of angiogenesis marker CD31 in the wound tissue of patients in DFU group was detected by immunohistochemistry before and after application of MDT. Western blotting and real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used respectively to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of fatty acid synthase (FAS) in wound tissue of patients in DFU group before and after application of MDT and in non-diabetic trauma group before debridement. (2) Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in endothelial cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. The 3rd to 6th passages of cells in logarithmic growth phase were used in the following experiments. Excretions/secretions (ES) were extracted from 3-day-old sterile Lucilia sericata larvae for subsequent experiments. Three batches of cells were divided into phosphate buffer solution (PBS) control group, high glucose alone group, high glucose+ 5 μg/mL maggot ES group, and high glucose+ 10 μg/mL maggot ES group, which were treated with PBS, glucose in final molarity concentration of 20 mmol/L, glucose in final molarity concentration of 20 mmol/L+ maggot ES in final mass concentration of 5 μg/mL, and glucose in final molarity concentration of 20 mmol/L+ maggot ES in final mass concentration of 10 μg/mL respectively. The total volume of reagents in each group was the same. After 48 hours of culture, Western blotting, real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of FAS in each batch of cells and the expression and localization of FAS protein in cells respectively. The number of samples for mRNA expression was 3. (3) Two batches of cells were divided into small interference RNA (siRNA) alone group, siRNA control+ maggot ES group and siRNA-FAS+ maggot ES group, which were transfected with 100 μmol/L (final molarity concentration) insignificant control siRNA, insignificant control siRNA, and siRNA-FAS for 4-6 h respectively, and then they were routinely cultured for 24 h with PBS added, maggot ES in final mass concentration of 10 μg/mL, and maggot ES in final mass concentration of 10 μg/mL respectively. The total volume of reagents in each group was the same. One batch of cells was used for scratch test, the scratch width was observed at 24 hour after scratching to detect the cell migration ability; one batch of cells was subjected to tube forming experiment, and the formation of cell tubules was observed after 24 hours of culture. The number of samples was 3 in scratch test and tube forming experiments. Data were statistically analyzed with t test, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, and Bonferroni method. Results: (1) Compared with those before application of MDT, fresh granulation tissue significantly increased and necrotic tissue decreased obviously in wound, and the expression of CD31 significantly increased in wound tissue of patients in DFU group after application of MDT. The expression of FAS protein in wound tissue of patients in DFU group before application of MDT was significantly lower than that in non-diabetic trauma group before debridement, and the expression of FAS protein in wound tissue of patients in DFU group after application of MDT was significantly higher than that before application of MDT. The expression of FAS mRNA in wound tissue of patients in DFU group before application of MDT was 1.00±0.17, which was significantly less than 3.87±1.02 in non-diabetic trauma group before debridement (t=9.808, P<0.01). The expression of FAS mRNA in wound tissue of patients in DFU group after application of MDT was 1.85±0.31, which was significantly higher than that before application of MDT (t=-10.853, P<0.01). (2) After 48 hours of culture, Western blotting detection showed that the expression of FAS protein in cells in high glucose alone group was significantly less than that in PBS control group, and the expressions of FAS protein in cells in high glucose+ 5 μg/mL maggot ES group and high glucose+ 10 μg/mL maggot ES group were significantly higher than the expression in high glucose alone group. Real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR determination showed that the expression of FAS mRNA in cells in high glucose alone group was 0.392±0.073, which was significantly lower than 1.000±0.085 in PBS control group (P<0.01); there was statistically significant difference between the expression of FAS mRNA in cells in high glucose+ 5 μg/mL maggot ES group (0.561±0.047) and that in high glucose+ 10 μg/mL maggot ES group (0.687±0.013) (P<0.05), both of which were significantly higher than the expression in high glucose alone group (P<0.01). The results of immunofluorescence detection showed that FAS protein was mainly located in the cytoplasm of cells in each group, and its expression was similar to that detected by Western blotting. (3) At 24 hour after scratch, the uncured widths of cell scratch in siRNA control+ maggot ES group and siRNA-FAS+ maggot ES group were significantly narrower than the uncured width in siRNA alone control group (P<0.01), and the uncured width of cell scratch in siRNA-FAS+ maggot ES group was significantly wider than that in siRNA control+ maggot ES group (P<0.01). After 24 hours of culture, the numbers of tubules in siRNA+ maggot ES group and siRNA-FAS+ maggot ES group were significantly more than the number in siRNA alone control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the number of tubules in siRNA-FAS+ maggot ES group was obviously less than that in siRNA control+ maggot ES group (P<0.05). Conclusions: MDT up-regulates the expression of FAS through maggot ES, which promotes the activity of vascular endothelial cells, thus promoting the wound angiogenesis in patients with DFU.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of occupational nickel exposure on blood glucose related indicators of workers. Methods: In March 2019, five electroplating enterprises and one plastic hardware enterprise were selected by cluster sampling method. 159 nickel plating workers were selected as the contact group, and 66 administrative personnel of the same enterprise were selected as the control group. The serum nickel concentration, fasting blood glucose (FPG) , fasting insulin (FIns) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured in the contact group and the control group. The differences of blood glucose related indexes between the two groups were compared, and the risk factors of abnormal blood glucose indexes were analyzed. Results: Compared with the control group, the blood nickel concentration and detection rate of nickel in the contact group were higher, the levels of FIns were lower, and the proportion of HbA1c was higher in the contact group (P<0.05) . Stratified analysis showed that compared with the control group, the blood glucose index of men in the contact group changed significantly (P<0.05) ; logistic regression analysis showed that male was an independent influencing factor for decreased FIns (OR=8.264, P<0.05) . Conclusion: Long term exposure to nickel can affect the blood glucose related indexes such as fins and HbA1c.

Abstract
Interactions between livestock management practices and toxicological outcomes of mycotoxin exposure may explain the range of tolerable toxin levels reported for various species. In the current study, we investigated the effect of concurrent mycotoxin exposure with a high starch diet in 12 beef steers in a partial cross-over experiment using a 21-day treatment period, followed by a 14-day clearance. During the treatment period, animals were assigned to one of two diets: a low mycotoxin control total mixed ration (TMR) (0.2±0.1 mg deoxynivalenol (DON) and 0.2±0.2 mg fumonisins (FUM)/kg TMR) and a high mycotoxin TMR treatment (1.7±0.2 mg DON and 3.5±0.3 mg FUM/kg TMR). We evaluated the impacts of these mycotoxins on performance, physiology and biochemistry; and the ability of the clearance period to return animals to a naïve state in the cross-over model. The lack of acute ruminal acidosis observed indicates that the animals were able to withstand the physiological stresses of the high starch diet, while toxicological outcomes were manifested in minor perturbations of biochemistry and outright performance of exposed animals. Aspartate aminotransferase, cholesterol, fibrinogen and leukocyte count were increased while sorbitol dehydrogenase, bile acids and mean corpuscular volume were decreased in treatment-fed steers, yet were not significantly different than those from control-fed animals. Fusarium toxin exposure significantly decreased ruminal fluid pH, with the clearance period returning animals to a naïve state, as it did for most of the molecular variables measured. Conversely, treatment-fed animals continued to exhibit significantly lower average weekly body weight throughout the treatment period and the first week of the clearance period. While the risk of adverse health effects to fattening cattle from similar doses of DON or FUM as used in the current study is considered low, additional work should be directed towards minimising production losses due to these feed contaminants.

Convergent structural features of respiratory syncytial virus neutralizing antibodies and plasticity of the site V epitope on prefusion F. PLoS Pathog 2020; 16:e1008943.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a global public health burden for which no licensed vaccine exists. To aid vaccine development via increased understanding of the protective antibody response to RSV prefusion glycoprotein F (PreF), we performed structural and functional studies using the human neutralizing antibody (nAb) RSB1. The crystal structure of PreF complexed with RSB1 reveals a conformational, pre-fusion specific site V epitope with a unique cross-protomer binding mechanism. We identify shared structural features between nAbs RSB1 and CR9501, elucidating for the first time how diverse germlines obtained from different subjects can develop convergent molecular mechanisms for recognition of the same PreF site of vulnerability. Importantly, RSB1-like nAbs were induced upon immunization with PreF in naturally-primed cattle. Together, this work reveals new details underlying the immunogenicity of site V and further supports PreF-based vaccine development efforts. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a persistent, contagious seasonal pathogen and a serious public health threat. While infants are the most at-risk population, with infections potentially leading to bronchiolitis, adults, especially the elderly, are also burdened by RSV-induced respiratory infections. The only treatment currently available for RSV is passive immunization for high-risk infants. Thus, there is a critical need to develop a vaccine for the vast majority of the vulnerable population for which there is no preventative treatment. The RSV fusion protein in its prefusion form (PreF) is the target of the majority of naturally-induced neutralizing antibodies, and several clinical trials are currently evaluating PreF as a promising vaccine candidate. In this study, we solved the X-ray structure of PreF bound to the Fab fragment of a human neutralizing antibody. The structure reveals plasticity of the epitope, as well as a unique molecular signature for antibodies elicited towards this region of PreF. We also find that similar antibodies are induced upon immunization of naturally-primed cattle with a PreF vaccine antigen, suggesting that this epitope is highly immunogenic. These results will help us better understand the human immune response to RSV infection and vaccination, and guide future vaccine-design efforts.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Numerous genome-wide association studies revealed that SNPs at phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) locus are strongly correlated with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the mechanism linking these variants to CAD remains uncertain.
Purpose
We studied the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of PHACTR1 in atherosclerosis.
Methods and results
Analysis of GTEx database showed that CAD-related SNPs in PHACTR1 are cis-eQTLs for PHACTR1 in arteries. Therefore, we generated Phactr1 knockout mice and crossed them with apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE−/−) mice to induce atherosclerosis by high-fat/high-cholesterol (HF-HC) diet. Phactr1 deficiency significantly inhibited atherosclerosis with decreased inflammatory cell infiltration. Western blot showed that PHACTR1 was restricted to endothelial cells (ECs) in mice. Mechanistically, RNAseq of aortic ECs revealed that the major molecular function of PHACTR1 was transcriptional regulation. PPARγ/RXRα was the top transcription factor, and PPARγ target gene expression substantially increased in Phactr1−/− mice. Moreover, we generated endothelial cell specific Phactr1−/−, ApoE−/− mice and found decreased atherosclerotic plaque area in aortic sinus. In vitro, PHACTR1 associated with PPARγ and inhibited PPARγ transcriptional activity. The inhibitory effect of PHACTR1 on PPARγ required its shuttling from cytosol to nucleus triggered by disturbed flow, a well-established pro-atherosclerotic stimulus.
Conclusion
Our results identified PHACTR1 as a mechanosensitive corepressor of PPARγ in ECs to promote atherosclerosis. Endothelial PHACTR1 is a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis treatment.

Abstract
Drought is one of the major stress factors in wheat production on a global scale. Drought priming during the early growth stage can enhance drought tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Abscisic acid (ABA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) are important signal molecules in the adaptation of plants to drought stress. However, the roles of ABA and H2 O2 in drought priming-induced drought tolerance are not clear. In the present study, we evaluated the responses of wheat to an ABA inhibitor, H2 O2 scavenger and an inhibitor to investigate the (i) relationship between ABA and H2 O2 in osmotic adjustment after drought priming in the vegetative stage and (ii) responses to drought stress during grain filling. In the drought priming alone treatments, chemical application resulted in the scavenging of ABA and H2 O2 , weakening the alleviation effects of drought priming on drought stress, as demonstrated by the lower leaf water potential and grain yield. The ABA inhibitor completely inhibited accumulation of ABA and H2 O2 ; the ABA inhibitor inhibited respiratory burst oxidase homologue expression, whereas the H2 O2 inhibitor resulted in higher 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase expression and ABA concentration in primed plants, indicating that ABA scavenging inhibited H2 O2 biosynthesis while H2 O2 scavenging did not inhibit ABA biosynthesis. The results further demonstrated that NADPH oxidase-mediated H2 O2 production functions downstream of ABA, which induces osmolyte transcript expression and accumulation, and thus contributes to drought priming-induced stress tolerance. These results provide a theoretical basis for a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in drought priming-induced tolerance in wheat plants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the therapeutic effect of butorphanol on brain tissue injury in rats with sepsis through the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (n=20), sepsis model group [cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) group, n=20], and butorphanol treatment group (n=20). After successful modeling, the blood and brain tissues were collected from rats at 24 h. The content of serum brain injury indexes was detected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were separately carried out to observe the pathological changes and measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. The neurological function was scored in rats. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S100, and NF-κB signaling pathway genes and proteins in brain tissues were detected via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. RESULTS CLP group showed remarkably increased levels of serum glucosuria (GLU), creatinine (CR), and Na+ but an evidently reduced level of K+ in comparison with the control group (p<0.05), while the treatment group displayed contrary trends. Histopathological observations showed that the rats in the CLP group suffered a brain injury, while those in the treatment group had mild pathological changes. The MPO in the CLP group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group (p<0.05). The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were overtly higher in the CLP group than those in the control group, and these indexes in the treatment group were close to those in the control group. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels of S100, GFAP, Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), and NF-κB in CLP group were evidently higher than those in the control group and treatment group (p<0.05). The results of Western blotting revealed that the protein expression of NF-κB was significantly higher in CLP group than that in the control group, and it declined in the treatment group, which was close to that in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Butorphanol can reduce the content of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 through the NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby relieving the brain injury caused by sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MiR-155-5p has various biological cellular functions in diverse pathology, including cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the role of miR-155-5p in atherosclerosis is still not well known. PATIENTS AND METHODS The levels of miR-155-5p and AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (AKT1) in plasma samples from patients with atherosclerotic CAD were detected using quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to analyze the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. The migration of VSMCs and HUVECs was detected using wound healing assay. The invasion of VSMCs and HUVECs using was determined using the transwell invasion assay. The expression of AKT1 was measured using immunofluorescence staining analysis. RESULTS MiR-155-5p was down-regulated in patients with atherosclerotic CAD. Up-regulation of miR-155-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of VSMCs and HUVECs. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay indicated that AKT1 was the direct target of miR-155-5p and miR-155-5p bound to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of AKT1. The expression of AKT1 was reduced in cell that was transfected with miR-155-5p. Up-regulation of AKT1 rescued the suppressive effect of miR-155-5p on the growth, migration and invasion of VSMCs and HUVECs. Down-expression of AKT1 partially neutralized the impacts of miR-155-5p on the growth, invasion and migration of VSMCs and HUVECs. Finally, we found that AKT1 was over-regulated in plasma samples of patients with atherosclerotic CAD and its level was negative with the level of miR-155-5p. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that miR-155-5p suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of VSMCs and HUVECs through regulating AKT1, which provides the new insights into the precise role of miR-155-5p in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Objective: To develope and validate a reliable and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determination of vardenafil concentration in plasma of rat. Methods: Plasma samples of normal Sprague-Dawley rats were collected. A Phenomenex Synergi Polar-RP 80A column (2.0 mm×50 mm, 4 µm) was used. Column temperature was set at 30 ℃. Mobile phase A was 0.1% formic acid in water; mobile phase B was 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. The flow rate was 0.4 ml/minutes. Quantitative determination was performed by electrospray ionization, operating in positive ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Cisapride was used as the internal standard. The feasibility of the method was evaluated by examining its specificity, linearity and quantitative range, precision and accuracy, matrix effects, and stability. Results: Under the selected chromatographic and mass spectrometry conditions, the monitoring ions of vardenafil and internal standard were mass-to-charge ratio(m/z) 489.3/151.2 and 466.4/234.2, the retention times of vardenafil and internal standard were 2.62 and 2.80 minutes, respectively, and the peak shape was satisfactory. The method has good linearity in the concentration range of 0.2-200 ng/ml. The intra-batch precision (%CV) and accuracy (%DEV) of vardenafil were 1.5%-9.7% and -6.8%-6.6%, respectively. The inter-batch precision and accuracy of vardenafil were 3.1% -8.4% and -3.7%-4.6%, respectively. In this sample processing method, the extraction recovery rate of vardenafil was obtained at range of 88.2%-104.6%, which met the requirements for the investigation of extraction recovery rate. In this sample processing method, the normalized matrix factor of each quality control concentration of vardenafil was 1.04, 0.85, and 1.04, and the coefficient of variation (%CV) was in the range of 1.7%-10.7%, which met the requirements for the investigation of matrix effects. Variations of short-term stability, long-term stability, and stability of 4 freeze-thaw cycles of vardenafil was within ±15%, and the coefficient of variation were within 5%. Conclusion: The high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method established in this study is feasible for the measurement of concentration of vardenafil in rat plasma and this method has good specificity and high accuracy, and can be used to detect the concentration of vardenafil in rat plasma.

Abstract
Background:Filgotinib (FIL), an oral, potent, selective JAK-1 inhibitor, provided statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) signs and symptoms, physical function, radiographic progression, and quality of life in a comprehensive clinical program of 4 phase 3 (FINCH 1–4;NCT02889796,NCT02873936,NCT02886728,NCT03025308) and 3 phase 2 (DARWIN 1–3;NCT01668641,NCT01894516,NCT02065700) trials in patients (pts) with early and biologic-refractory RA.1–3Objectives:To assess long-term safety of FIL.Methods:Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) from the FIL clinical program were integrated and presented for pts receiving FIL 200 mg or FIL 100 mg QD (including pts who transitioned to FIL from placebo [PBO], methotrexate [MTX], adalimumab [ADA], or another dose of FIL) as well as pts receiving PBO, MTX, and ADA across all 7 studies. Exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years (PY) were calculated for adverse events (AEs) of interest per treatment. Incidence was total number of pts with events, and PY exposure was time between first and last doses. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) were centrally adjudicated by an independent committee.Results:Across the 7 trials, 4057 pts with RA (2227 pts FIL 200 mg; 1600 pts FIL 100 mg) received >1 dose of treatment for 5493 total PY of exposure (3079.2 PY FIL 200 mg; 1465.3 PY FIL 100 mg) (Table). EAIRs of serious AEs and TEAEs leading to death in pts receiving FIL were comparable to those for PBO, ADA, or MTX, with no dose-dependent effect (Figure 1). EAIR for herpes zoster (HZ), serious, and opportunistic infections are shown in Figure 2. EAIR for HZ were low overall, but numerically slightly higher for FIL relative to PBO, ADA, and similar to MTX. Serious infection EAIRs were comparable between pts receiving FIL 100 mg and ADA, and numerically slightly lower for FIL 200 mg and MTX. Rates of opportunistic infections (including active tuberculosis) were low overall; EAIR for FIL doses were comparable to placebo and numerically lower than ADA or MTX. Rates of MACE and VTE were numerically lower for FIL relative to PBO (Figure 1). Malignancies, including nonmelanoma skin cancer, were rare overall, and rates were low in pts receiving FIL (Figure 1).Table.Total exposure to study treatments pooled from 7 studiesNumber of patientsPatient-years of exposureFIL 200 mg22273079.2FIL 100 mg16001465.3ADA325290.1MTX416356.2PBO781302.4Patients could contribute to >1 treatment group.ADA, adalimumab; FIL, filgotinib; MTX, methotrexate; PBO, placebo.Conclusion:In this integrated analysis, FIL was well-tolerated, and no new safety concerns were identified.

Abstract
Reliable sensing and accurate location of a weak and small hot spot are critical for applications in industrial infrastructure monitoring. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a practical and reliable distributed hot spot detection method using ultra-weak fiber Bragg gratings (UWFBGs) array and optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) based interrogator. To reliably detect the hot spots, the grating spacing of the sensor array is decreased to a similar size of the hot spot. All UWFBGs within a fiber section (FS) are considered as one sensing element, and the wavelength-division multiplexing technique is introduced to reduce crosstalk between adjacent FSs. To retrieve the sensing information, the proposed FS spectrum interrogation method based on OTDR technology is numerically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated. The interrogator exploits the reflection spectrum of each FS instead of each grating, enabling the low-speed hardware implementation of the whole demodulation method. Experimental results show that the expected hot spot can be successfully detected with a sensing resolution of 10 cm and a location resolution of 1 m over a range of 2 km by exploiting 10-ns pulsewidth. Besides, the temperature measurement can be demonstrated with a temperature sensing precision of ± 1°C and a measurement time of 1.5 s, which are meaningful for the early warning of centimeters-sized fire source in some oil and gas pipelines monitoring applications.

Abstract
Quantum technologies require robust and photostable single-photon emitters. Here, room temperature operated single-photon emissions from isolated defects in aluminum nitride (AlN) films are reported. AlN films were grown on nanopatterned sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The observed emission lines range from visible to near-infrared, with highly linear polarization characteristics. The temperature-dependent line width increase shows T3 or single-exponential behavior. First-principle calculations based on density functional theory show that point defect species, such as antisite nitrogen vacancy complex (NAlVN) and divacancy (VAlVN) complexes, are considered to be an important physical origin of observed emission lines ranging from approximately 550 to 1000 nm. The results provide a new platform for on-chip quantum sources.

Abstract
AIM To compare the effects of steam explosion and Lactobacillus buchneri inoculation on fungal community in ensiled total mixed ration (TMR) during aerobic exposure. METHODS AND RESULTS The TMRs were prepared using wheat straw with or without steam explosion, sweet potato residue, lucerne hay, maize meal and soybean meal, and ensiled with or without L. buchneri inoculation. Fungal communities were detected by high-throughput sequencing. All ensiled TMRs were well ensiled and steam explosion has a major effect on improving aerobic stability. The fungal species, such as Xeromyces bisporus and Cryptococcus victoriae, that dominated in the TMR decreased after ensiling, with a concomitant increase in Candida humilis, Pichia kudriavzevii, Aspergillus flavus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Most mould species decreased, with C. humilis and P. kudriavzevii dominating during aerobic exposure. CONCLUSION Steam explosion could improve the aerobic stability in ensiled TMR by inhibition of C. humilis. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY High-throughput sequencing used in this study provides insight into the fungal community in ensiled TMR during aerobic exposure, which could contribute towards elucidating the mechanism by which aerobic deterioration develops.

Abstract
The effect of unintentionally doped hydrogen on the properties of Mg-doped p-GaN samples grown via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is investigated through room temperature photoluminescence (PL) and Hall and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements. It is found that there is an interaction between the residual hydrogen and carbon impurities. An increase of the carbon doping concentration can increase resistivity of the p-GaN and weaken blue luminescence (BL) band intensity. However, when hydrogen incorporation increased with carbon doping concentration, the increase of resistivity caused by carbon impurity is weaken and the BL band intensity is enhanced. This suggests that the co-doped hydrogen not only passivate MgGa, but also can passivate carbon impurities in Mg-doped p-GaN.
