Abstract
As a new molecular recognition element, oligonucleotide aptamer not only has higher affinity and specificity to target molecules, but also has the advantages of wide recognition range, in vitro synthesis and chemical stability compared with conventional antibodies. Since a kind of screening method termed systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) was reported, scientists have extensively researched the methodology of how to highly and efficiently screen out aptamers from a library consisting of a large number of random oligonucleotides. Certainly capillary electrophoresis-based screening methodologies, including nonequilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures, equilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures, non-SELEX, ideal-filter capillary electrophoresis, capillary transient isotachophoresis, etc., are revolutionary. Compared with conventional SELEX, these capillary electrophoresis-based methodologies show incomparable advantages such as the single-round screening of aptamers and increased successful screening rate. Methodology studies on the screening process of aptamers are comprehensively reviewed.

Abstract
A low laying performance in goose is one of the key factors preventing the industrial development, and the laying performance is related to broody behavior. However, the characteristics of broody behavior in geese remain unclear. In this study, the total 144 geese (300 day old), including Zhedong geese (Anser cygnoides), Sichuan geese (Anser cygnoides), and Carlos geese (Anser anser) were selected and assigned to 1 of 3 groups/breed (including 4♂+12♀). Laying and broody behaviors were recorded using the infrared video cameras from 2016 November 11 to 2017 June 15. The broody behavior was detected in 19.4% of Carlos geese, 33.3% of Sichuan geese, and 100% of Zhedong geese. Different goose breeds showed similar behavior characteristics. The low frequency of feeding, drinking, and low body weight were observed in the middle of broodiness. As the brooding progressed, the body temperature showed a downward trend and then recovered, whereas no difference was observed in Carlos goose. In addition, the plasma hormone concentration from different breeds and stages of broodiness were compared. The contents of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) in geese were greater in the laying stage than that in the broody stage. Fewer FSH and LH were detected in Zhedong geese and Carlos geese, more in Sichuan geese. In broody goose, the PRL (prolactin) concentrations of the 3 goose breeds peaked in the middle of broodiness, and greater PRL was detected in Sichuan geese than those in Carlos geese and Zhedong geese. Finally, we compared egg production between the broody and non-broody geese in the observation period. The egg production of broody Carlos geese was 27, which was significantly higher than non-broody geese (14 eggs), while in Sichuan geese there was no significant difference between broody (24 eggs) and non-broody geese (26 eggs). Finally, the higher egg production was found with the more broody times in Zhedong geese. Taken together, although the different goose breeds showed similar broody behavior characteristics, the broody rate and hormone secretion were dissimilar, and the Zhedong geese exhibited strong broody feature.

Abstract
There is growing experimental and theoretical evidence that vibronic couplings, couplings between electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom, play a fundamental role in ultrafast excited-state dynamics in organic donor-acceptor hybrids. Whereas vibronic coupling has been shown to support charge separation at donor-acceptor interfaces, so far, little is known about its role in the real-space transport of charges in such systems. Here we theoretically study charge transport in thiophene:fullerene stacks using time-dependent density functional tight-binding theory combined with Ehrenfest molecular dynamics for open systems. Our results reveal coherent oscillations of the charge density between neighboring donor sites, persisting for ∼200 fs and promoting charge transport within the polymer stacks. At the donor-acceptor interface, vibronic wave packets are launched, propagating coherently over distances of more than 3 nm into the acceptor region. This supports previous experimental observations of long-range ballistic charge-carrier motion in organic photovoltaic systems and highlights the importance of vibronic coupling engineering as a concept for tailoring the functionality of hybrid organic devices.

Abstract
A deep neural network is constructed to yield in principle exact exchange-correlation potential. It requires merely the electron densities of small molecules and ions and yet can determine the exchange-correlation potentials of large molecules. We train and validate the neural network based on the data for H2 and HeH+ and subsequently determine the ground-state electron density of stretched HeH+, linear H3+, and H-He-He-H2+. Moreover, the deep neural network is proven to model the van der Waals interaction by being trained and validated on a data set containing He2. Comparisons to B3LYP are given to illustrate the accuracy and transferability of the neural network.

Abstract
Using a simulation protocol that mimics ultrafast scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments, we demonstrate how pump-probe ultrafast STM may be used to image electron migration in molecules. Two pulses are applied to a model system, and the time-integrated current through the tip is calculated versus the delay time and tip position to generate STM images. With suitable pump and probe parameters, the images can track charge migration with atomistic spatial and femtosecond temporal resolutions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and purpose
Limited data is available on the situation of cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) in China. This study aims to disclose the incidence, management and in-hospital mortality (IHM) of patients with STEMI complicated by CS (STEMICS) in China and at different levels of hospitals.
Methods
We queried the 2013–2016 China Acute Myocardial Infarction (CAMI) registry databases to identify patients with STEMI and/or CS (developing before or during hospitalization). The overall and different hospital-level incidence of STEMICS and IHM were analyzed.
Results
Of 28230 STEMI patients, 2273 patients (8.05%) had CS. The incidence of STEMICS in provincial, prefectural and county-level hospitals were 5.23%, 8.46% and 13.76% (p<0.001), respectively. Primary PCI (PPCI) was performed on 675 patients (29.7%) with STEMICS. The proportion of STEMICS patients undertaking PPCI in provincial, prefectural and county-level hospitals were 46.53%, 31.48% and 8.00% (p<0.001). The overall IHM rate of patients with STEMICS was 49.8% with no difference among the different hospital levels. However, the IHM rate of prehospital STEMICS in county-level hospitals were significantly higher than that in prefectural and provincial hospitals (42.3% versus 33.3% and 28.3%, respectively; p<0.01), while that of in-hospital STEMICS were similar among the different hospital levels (66.5%, 66.9% and 62.2%; provincial, prefectural and county-level hospitals, respectively). After adjustment, the difference of IHM in prehospital STEMICS between county-level hospitals and the other two levels no longer existed. However, once PPCI was excluded from the multivariable adjustment model, the IHM of prehospital STEMICS remained higher in county-level hospitals.
Table 1. Differences in IHM of prehospital STEMICS between county-level hospitals and other two levels of hospitals before or after adjustment Provincial hospitals/ County-level hospitals Prefectural hospitals/ County-level hospitals Unadjusted OR (95% CI) 0.54 (0.36, 0.80); P=0.0019 0.68 (0.49, 0.94); P=0.0193 Adjusted OR* (95% CI) 0.63 (0.34, 1.17); P=0.1455 0.64 (0.38, 1.08); P=0.0962 Adjusted OR† (95% CI) 0.49 (0.27, 0.90); P=0.0214 0.54 (0.32, 0.91); P=0.0198 IHM: in-hospital mortality; OR: odd ratio; CI: confidence interval. *Adjusted for baseline characteristics, in-hospital medications and primary PCI; †adjusted for baseline characteristics and in-hospital medications.
Figure 1. Flowchart
Conclusion
The overall incidence and IHM rate of STEMICS in China are still high. Especially, higher IHM rate of prehospital STEMICS is observed in county-level hospitals, which may be attributed to the lower implementation rate of PPCI.

Abstract
A new capillary electrophoresis method was developed to study the synergistic effect of superoxide dismutase and jujuboside A or B on scavenging superoxide anion radical in serum matrix respectively, in which superoxide anion radical was generated from pyrogallol autoxidation. The electrophoresis conditions, and the factors affecting the productive rate of purpurogallin, such as pyrogallol autoxidation product and the activity of superoxide dismutase, were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the content of superoxide dismutase in Gibco newborn calf serum was 7.06 mg/L, RSD was 2.01% and the average recovery was 98.4%. The values of IC50 for jujuboside A and B in the serum matrix were 157.67 and 31.60 mg/L respectively, and they both had synergy on scavenging superoxide anion radical with superoxide dismutase, but there was no the dose-dependency on this synergy.

Abstract
Yolk ratio is an important production index in the salted duck egg industry. Yolk constituents are deposited during development of follicles. However, the molecular mechanism responsible for different yolk ratios in laying ducks remains elusive. In this study, Shaoxing ducks laying eggs with different yolk ratios were chosen for an analysis of liver and ovary transcriptome information. Twelve libraries were constructed and generated an average of 58.5 million clean reads per library, of which 69% of clean reads from liver and 65% of clean reads from ovary were mapped to a reference genome. Between cross-phenotype groups, a total of 250 and 230 differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in liver and ovary respectively, of which 101 and 50 DEGs respectively were characterized. Several DEGs were detected, among which HMGCS1, HMGCR, FDFT1, (DHCR7), (STARD4), CYP46A1 and LPIN3 are involved in cholesterol metabolism-related pathways; KIAA0319, STARD4, AP1S3, SH3GL2 and CAV2 are involved in vesicular transport in the liver; and ELOVL2 and PSD2 are involved in fatty acid elongation and endocytosis in the ovary. High yolk-ratio ducks had higher activity for cholesterol synthesis and molecular trafficking. The identification of candidate genes greatly advances the understanding of the genetic basis of the formation of different yolk ratios.

Abstract
Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV), a newly discovered member of the genus Pestivirus, is considered to be associated with congenital tremors (CT) in piglets. From June 2016 to January 2018, 440 serum and tissue samples from CT-affected piglets in Anhui, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces were collected to detect APPV. The results showed a high level of 63.4% preference for APPV in 27 swine farms and complicated co-infection cases between APPV and other 12 swine viruses. Meanwhile, 12 novel APPV genomes were screened and identified. Results showed that complete genomes, Npro and NS5A genes of these novel 12 APPV sequences revealed 80.5%-99.8%, 78%-100% and 76.9%-99.8% nucleotide identities, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of full-length genomes, Npro and NS5A genes of APPV indicated three well-defined clades including a newly emerging branch in China. This study provides novel epidemiological information of APPV in China.

Abstract
Machine learning has exhibited powerful capabilities in many areas. However, machine learning models are mostly database dependent, requiring a new model if the database changes. Therefore, a universal model is highly desired to accommodate the widest variety of databases. Fortunately, this universality may be achieved by ensemble learning, which can integrate multiple learners to meet the demands of diversified databases. Therefore, we propose a general procedure for learning ensemble establishment based on noncovalent interactions (NCIs) databases. Additionally, accurate NCI computation is quite demanding for first-principles methods, for which a competent machine learning model can be an efficient solution to obtain high NCI accuracy with minimal computational resources. In regard to these aspects, multiple schemes of ensemble learning models (Bagging, Boosting, and Stacking frameworks), are explored in this study. The models are based on various low levels of density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the benchmark databases S66, S22, and X40. All NCIs computed by the DFT calculations can be improved to high-level accuracy (root-mean-square error RMSE = 0.22 kcal/mol in contrast to CCSD(T)/CBS benchmark) by established ensemble learning models. Compared with single machine learning models, ensemble models show better accuracy (RMSE of the best model is further lowered by ∼25%), robustness and goodness-of-fit according to evaluation parameters suggested by the OECD. Among ensemble learning models, heterogeneous Stacking ensemble models show the most valuable application potential. The standardized procedure of constructing learning ensembles has been well utilized on several NCI data sets, and this procedure may also be applicable for other chemical databases.

Abstract
The Chinese goose originated from the swan goose (Anser cygnoides) and the European goose originated from the greylag goose (Anser anser). The Chinese and European geese have the potential to crossbreed. Whether interspecific differences in mating behaviors affect successful hybridization is unknown. In this study, 10-month-old Carlos geese (n = 120; Anser anser) and Sichuan geese (Anser cygnoides) were selected, and 12 multi-male parent families (3♂+12♀) were established. The courtship and mating behaviors of pure and cross-bred combinations of the Carlos and Sichuan geese were recorded using video cameras. Initiative courtship by males was the main type of courtship. Fixed mating, mating interference, and uncooperative mating were common in the flocks. The frequencies of some courtship and mating behaviors were less in the cross-bred groups (Carlos ganders × Sichuan geese, Sichuan ganders × Carlos geese) compared with the Sichuan pure-bred groups (P < 0.05). The Carlos male geese had some unique mating behaviors (i.e., one-to-one mating, formation of distinct hierarchies, and competition interference). The fertility rate had a significant correlation with the frequency of successful mating (rp = 0.992, P < 0.05), rather than with the courtship behavior. These results indicate there were lesser frequencies of courtship and successful matings in the cross-breeding than purebreeding groups. Furthermore, the fertility rate depended largely on the successful mating behavior and was independent of the courtship behavior.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the indications and safety of orthopedic liver transplantation for polycystic liver disease (PLD). Methods: Data of 11 patients with PLD who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation between 2004 and 2013 was retrospectively analyzed. Demographic, clinical and follow-up data were collected for statistical analysis. The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Over a period of 10 years, the patients received modified piggyback orthopedic liver transplantation (n=9) or combined liver-kidney transplantation (n=2) for PLD. The recipients' median age was 56 years. Seven patients were classified as Gigot type Ⅱ PLD, and four were classified as Gigot type Ⅲ PLD. Eight patients had severe decreased mobility (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, ECOG≥3). Only three cases were Child-Pguh Class C patients and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was>20. The mean hospitalization duration was (45.4±15.3) days, and the mean length of stay in intensive care unit was (4.1±1.9) days. The perioperative mortality was 18.2% and morbidity of complications was 63.6%. The median follow-up period was 111 months. Two patients died of severe complications after combined liver-kidney transplantation. One patient died of ischemia cholangitis during follow-up. The actuarial 1-, 5-and 10-year survival rate during the follow-up period was 82.2%, 81.8%, and 65.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Liver transplantation is the only curative and safe procedure for PLD, and it provides a good long-term prognosis and high quality of life for PLD patients. Liver transplantation could be a primary option in treating progressive or advanced PLD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the incidence of iatrogenic retinal breaks (IRBs) and postoperative retinal detachments (RDs) in microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) compared with 20-gauge (20 G) vitrectomy. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed to find relevant studies and a meta-analysis of the IRBs and postoperative RDs rates after 20 G vitrectomy versus MIVS was conducted. RESULTS Thirty-two studies were selected, including 14,373 eyes (6932 eyes in the 20 G group, 7441 eyes in the MIVS group). The meta-analysis demonstrated that the incidence of IRBs was significantly higher in 20 G vitrectomy vs. MIVS (OR = 2.22, 95% CI, 1.93-2.57, P < 0.00001) and in a subanalysis vs. 23 G MIVS (OR = 2.19, 95% CI, 1.87-2.56, P < 0.00001) and vs. 25 G MIVS (OR = 2.27, 95% CI, 1.62-3.18, P < 0.00001). Similar result was obtained in a subanalysis for macular surgery (OR = 2.44, 95% CI, 1.99-2.99, P < 0.00001), and also for sclerotomy-related IRBs (OR = 3.73, 95% CI, 2.55-5.44, P < 0.00001), but not for surgically induced posterior vitreous detachment-related IRBs (OR = 1.59, 95% CI, 0.89-2.84, P = 0.12). The incidence of postoperative RDs in 20 G vitrectomy was significantly higher compared to MIVS (OR = 1.72, 95% CI, 1.21-2.46, P = 0.003) and in a subanalysis vs. 23 G MIVS (OR = 2.45, 95% CI, 1.50-4.00, P = 0.0003), but not for 25 G MIVS (OR = 1.01, 95% CI, 0.63-1.64, P = 0.96). Similar result was obtained in a subanalysis for macular surgery (OR = 1.89, 95% CI, 1.26-2.85, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis demonstrated that MIVS is associated with a lower risk of IRBs and postoperative RDs compared to 20 G vitrectomy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the reasons and factors associated with new psychoactive substances abuse among patients with access to methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). Methods: A well-developed questionnaire and urine tests were used to collect information about demographic characteristics, condition of MMT and drug abuse, family and social support of MMT clients. A 1∶1 matched case-control study was conducted, and conditional logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with new psychoactive substances abuse. Results: A total of 212 (106 pairs) clients receiving MMT were recruited, and most of them were males (78.3%, 166/212), married or cohabitant (48.6%, 103/212) and unemployed (63.2%, 134/212). The average age of the clients was (45.1±7.2) years. The main types of abused new psychoactive substances were benzodiazepine (62.3%, 66/106) and methamphetamine (39.6%, 42/106). The proportion of abusing multi new psychoactive substances was 8.5% (9/106). Results from multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis indicated that using opioid drug during the past 6 months of MMT treatment might increase the risk of abusing new psychoactive substances (OR=3.25, 95%CI: 1.35-7.79), benzodiazepine (OR=3.25, 95%CI: 1.11- 9.47) and methamphetamine (OR=13.31, 95%CI: 1.12-158.01). Moreover, MMT for more than9 years reduced the risk of abuse of new psychoactive substances (OR=0.03, 95%CI: 0.01-0.21), benzodiazepine (OR=0.02, 95%CI: 0.00-0.36) and methamphetamine (OR=0.02, 95%CI: 0.00-0.69). Conclusion: Less new psychoactive substances abuse might be associated with longer duration of MMT treatment. And inappropriate support from family and friends might increase the risk of abusing new psychoactive substances in MMT clients, especially in clients who used opioid.

Abstract
To explore the designing principles for the quantum interference effect transistors, a series of simulations are carried out on a 2,5-linked perylene molecular junction composed of two subsystems connected via destructive quantum interference. Simulation results suggest that the overall conductance of a large π-conjugated system is determined by its subsystem connected directly to the electrodes. A Büttiker probe can be treated as a resistor, and to first-order approximation, its effect is found equivalent to severing its surrounding bonds. These findings greatly simplify the design of molecular quantum interference effect transistors.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the relative biological value (RBV) of 1α-hydroxycholecalciferol (1α-OH-D3) to 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D3) in one- to 21-day-old broiler chickens fed calcium (Ca)- and phosphorus (P)-deficient diets. On the d of hatch, 450 male Ross 308 broiler chickens were weighed and randomly allotted to 9 treatments with 5 replicates of 10 birds per replicate. The basal diet contained 0.50% Ca and 0.25% non-phytate phosphorus (NPP) but was not supplemented with cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). The levels of Ca and NPP in basal diets were lower than those recommended by NRC (1994). 25-OH-D3 was fed at zero, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 μg/kg, and 1α-OH-D3 was fed at 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, and 5.0 μg/kg. The RBV of 1α-OH-D3 to 25-OH-D3 based on vitamin D intake was determined by the slope ratio method. Results showed that 25-OH-D3 or 1α-OH-D3 improved the growth performance and decreased the mortality in one- to 21-day-old broilers. A linear relationship was observed between the level of 25-OH-D3 or 1α-OH-D3 and mineralization of the femur, tibia, or metatarsus. The RBV of 1α-OH-D3 to 25-OH-D3 were 234, 253, and 202% when the weight, ash weight, and Ca percentage of femur were used as criteria. The corresponding RBV of 1α-OH-D3 to 25-OH-D3 were 232 to 263% and 245 to 267%, respectively, when tibia and metatarsus mineralization were used as criteria. These data indicate that when directly feeding a hormonally active form of vitamin D as 1α-OH-D3 proportionally less is needed than when using the precursor (25-OH-D3) in diets deficient in Ca and P.

Abstract
1α-Hydroxycholecalciferol (1α-OH-D3) is a vitamin D derivative. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of 1α-OH-D3 on the growth and the mRNA expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the small intestine and kidney of chickens. A total of 240 males of one-day-old Ross 308 broilers was randomly assigned to 4 treatments with 5 replicates of 12 birds per replicate. Three levels of 1α-OH-D3 (1.25, 2.5, and 5 μg/kg) were added to a basal diet containing 0.50% calcium (Ca), 0.25% non-phytate phosphorus (NPP), and without supplemental cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). The control diet contained 1.00% Ca, 0.45% NPP, and 25 μg/kg cholecalciferol. Dietary 1α-OH-D3 levels linearly improved the average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), femur and tibia mineralization, and plasma Ca concentration, and retained Ca and total phosphorus (tP) amounts in broilers from 1 to 21 d of age (P < 0.05). In addition, 1α-OH-D3 also linearly up-regulated the mRNA expression levels of VDR in the duodenum as well as those of VDR and sodium-phosphate cotransporter NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc in the kidney of broilers (P < 0.05). However, 1α-OH-D3 did not affect the mRNA levels of 25-hydroxylase in the liver or NaPi-IIb in the duodenum (P > 0.05). No differences were observed in the ADFI, ADG, bone length, plasma mineral concentration, retained tP amount, or the mRNA levels of the above genes (except for VDR in the kidney) between the birds fed the diet with 5 μg/kg 1α-OH-D3 and the birds fed the control diet (P > 0.05). By contrast, the weight, ash weight, ash percentage, and Ca percentage of the bone, retained Ca amount, and the mRNA level of VDR in the kidney were lower in the birds fed the diet with 5 μg/kg 1α-OH-D3 than in the birds fed the control diet (P < 0.05). These data indicate that 1α-OH-D3 up-regulates the gene expression of VDR in the small intestine and kidney at the transcriptional level, thereby improving the growth performance and bone mineralization of broiler chickens from 1 to 21 d of age.
