Abstract
Objective: To explore the function and mechanism of long non-coding RNA MIR503HG in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods: The MIR503HG expression data in 60, 119 and 23 cases of ESCC and their paired adjacent tissues were chosen from three ESCC datasets GSE53622, GSE53624 and GSE130078, respectively. The expression data of MIR503HG in 81 ESCC tissues and 271 unpaired normal esophageal tissues were screened from the combined dataset of Cancer Genome Atlas and Genotype-Tissue Expression Database (TCGA+ GTEx). The MIR503HG knockdown plasmid was constructed, packaged into lentivirus. The lentivirus was used to infect with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines KYSE30 and KYSE510 to screen out the stable MIR503HG knockdown cell lines. ESCC cell line KYSE30 was transiently transfected with miRNA mimics to overexpress hsa-miR-503-3p and hsa-miR-503-5p.The expression levels of MIR503HG, hsa-miR-503-3p and hsa-miR-503-5p were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The proliferation ability of the cells was detected by cell counting kit 8 and clone formation assay. The invasion and migration ability of the cells were detected by Transwell assay. Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. The effect of MIR503HG on the proliferation of ESCC was detected by xenograft experiment in BALB/c-nu/nu mice. Results: Both GEO and TCGA+ GTEx databases showed that the expression of MIR503HG in ESCC tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal esophageal tissues (P<0.01). Compared with shNC group, the proliferation rates of KYSE30 and KYSE510 cells after knockdown of MIR503HGwere significantly inhibited (P<0.001). The colony formation numbers of KYSE30 cells in shMIR503HG1 group and shMIR503HG2 group were (2.00±1.41) and (1.33±0.47), respectively, significantly lower than that of the shNC group (P=0.002). The clone formation numbers of KYSE510 cells in shMIR503HG1 group and shMIR503HG2 group were (174.67±15.97) and (80.33±6.34), respectively, significantly lower than that of the shNC group (P<0.001). The invasive numbers of KYSE30 cells in shMIR503HG1 group and shMIR503HG2 group were 75.33±6.02 and 45.67±7.59, significantly lower than that of the shNC group(P<0.001). The migrating number of KYSE30 cells in shMIR503HG1 group and shMIR503HG2 group were 244.00±10.23 and 210.67±13.52, significantly lower than that of the shNC group(P<0.001), and the cell cycle was arrested in G(0)/G(1) phase. The xenograft experiment showed that the subcutaneous tumor in shMIR503HG group was significantly smaller than that in shNC group, and the tumor weight in shMIR503HG group was (0.097±0.026) g, which was lower than (0.166±0.021) g in shNC group (P<0.001). After knockdown of MIR503HG, the relative expression levels of hsa-miR-503-3p in KYSE30 cells of shMIR503HG1 group and shMIR503HG2 group were 0.66±0.02 and 0.58±0.00, respectively, the relative expression levels of hsa-miR-503-5p were 0.64±0.00 and 0.68±0.03, respectively, which were all lower than those in shNC group (P<0.01). After knockdown of MIR503HG, overexpression of hsa-miR-503-3p and hsa-miR-503-5p attenuated the inhibitory effects of knockdown of MIR503HG on proliferation (P<0.001), invasion (P<0.01) and migration (P<0.001) of KYSE30 cells. Conclusions: MIR503HG promotes the proliferation, invasion and migration of ESCC cells by regulating hsa-miR-503 pathway and can be used as a new potential target for targeted therapy of ESCC.

Characterization of biochar-derived organic matter extracted with solvents of differing polarity via ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:135785. [PMID: 35870614 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, biochar, a porous carbon-based material, has gained attention for its application prospects in contaminated soil remediation and soil improvement. Biochar-derived organic matter has a key role in influencing the migration and transformation of soil elements and pollutants. However, existing research concerning the molecular characteristics of biochar-derived organic matter is limited. Here, we used four polar solvents - dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), acetone (CH3COCH3), methanol (CH3OH), and distilled water (H2O) - to extract organic matter from soybean straw biochar and wheat straw biochar by accelerated solvent extraction (ASE). We characterized the extracts using Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). We found considerable differences in organic matter according to the extraction solvents; such differences were related to the polarity of the solvent, as well as intermolecular forces between the solvent and organic matter. CH3OH extracted the most biochar-extractable organic matter components because CH3OH can weaken or destroy oxygen bridge bonds in biochar and form hydrogen bonds with small-molecule organic compounds. CH3OH and H2O have strong extraction capacity for compounds containing heteroatoms. CH2Cl2-extractable organic matter is relatively labile and bioavailable, while CH3OH- and H2O-extractable organic matters are relatively stable. In addition, the binding capacity of biochar-derived organic matter for minerals and pollutants differed among fractions, in part because of differences in molecular weight, atomic O/C and H/C ratios, heteroatom distribution, and biomolecular compounds present in biochar-derived organic matter. The findings in this study help to select appropriate extractants to analyze biochar-derived organic matter for various research purposes, and provides a theoretical basis for biochar-based remediation of contaminated soil.

Abstract
In antiferromagnets, the efficient transport of spin-waves has until now only been observed in the insulating antiferromagnet hematite, where circularly (or a superposition of pairs of linearly) polarized spin-waves diffuse over long distances. Here, we report long-distance spin-transport in the antiferromagnetic orthoferrite YFeO3, where a different transport mechanism is enabled by the combined presence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and externally applied fields. The magnon decay length is shown to exceed hundreds of nanometers, in line with resonance measurements that highlight the low magnetic damping. We observe a strong anisotropy in the magnon decay lengths that we can attribute to the role of the magnon group velocity in the transport of spin-waves in antiferromagnets. This unique mode of transport identified in YFeO3 opens up the possibility of a large and technologically relevant class of materials, i.e., canted antiferromagnets, for long-distance spin transport.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the accuracy of the centerline extracted based on CT 3D reconstruction and conventional CT 3D reconstruction in measuring the length and degree of laryngotracheal stenosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 35 patients with laryngotracheal stenosis (including 19 cases without tracheotomy and 16 cases with tracheotomy) treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from March 2006 to March 2016, including 20 males and 15 females, whose ages ranged from 1 to 73 years, with a median age of 40.5 years. And CT data of 20 normal subjects were included in the same period, including 10 males and 10 females, whose ages ranged from 20 to 63 years, with a median age of 37.0 years. The continuous cross-sectional area of the airway perpendicular to the centerline was obtained by Mimics software. The area was compared with the discontinuous cross-sectional areas reconstructed by conventional CT 3D reconstruction software advantage workstation, also the length of cervical trachea, the length of stenosis, and the minimum airway area were compared. Multi-factor linear stepwise regression method was used to analyze the factors influencing the measuring difference between the two methods. Three patients with laryngotracheal stenosis were selected, and the measured stenosis length was compared with the surgical specimens to evaluate the accuracy of the two methods. SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: In normal people, the areas of thyroid cartilage notch, glottis, inferio thyroid cartilage margin, inferio cricoid cartilage margin, and suprasternal notch planes measured by Mimics centerline method were smaller than those measured by conventional CT 3D reconstruction (t thyroid cartilage notch=4.685, tglottis=3.791, tlower thyroid cartilage margin=5.621, tlower cricoid cartilage margin=6.312, tsuprasternal notch plane=6.436, P<0.05). And the airway length measured by Mimics centerline method from the inferior thyroid cartilage to the superior sternal notch was longer (t=9.79, P<0.001). In laryngotracheal stenosis, in the non-tracheotomy group, the minimum airway area measured by Mimics centerline method was smaller and the stenosis length was longer than those measured by the conventional CT 3D reconstruction, and the difference was statistically significant (tminimum airway area=2.562, tstenosis length=5.240, P<0.05). In the tracheotomy group, the stenosis length measured by Mimics centerline method was longer than that measured by conventional CT 3D reconstruction, and the difference was statistically significant (tstenosis length=2.854, P<0.05). Multi-factor linear regression analysis showed that different CT thickness had a statistically significant effect on the difference in the length of stenosis measured by the two methods (b=-5.370, t=-3.306, P=0.004), and different tracheal forward angle had a statistically significant effect on the difference in the minimum airway area measured by the two methods (b=-0.419, t=-2.208, P=0.04). The difference between the measured length of the Mimics centerline method and the intraoperative specimens was less than 0.5 mm. Conclusion: The centerline extracted based on CT 3D reconstruction can precisely reflect the laryngotracheal morphology and measure laryngotracheal stenosis more accurately.

Search for Subsolar-Mass Binaries in the First Half of Advanced LIGO's and Advanced Virgo's Third Observing Run. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2022; 129:061104.

Abstract
We report on a search for compact binary coalescences where at least one binary component has a mass between 0.2 M_{⊙} and 1.0 M_{⊙} in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo data collected between 1 April 2019 1500 UTC and 1 October 2019 1500 UTC. We extend our previous analyses in two main ways: we include data from the Virgo detector and we allow for more unequal mass systems, with mass ratio q≥0.1. We do not report any gravitational-wave candidates. The most significant trigger has a false alarm rate of 0.14 yr^{-1}. This implies an upper limit on the merger rate of subsolar binaries in the range [220-24200] Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}, depending on the chirp mass of the binary. We use this upper limit to derive astrophysical constraints on two phenomenological models that could produce subsolar-mass compact objects. One is an isotropic distribution of equal-mass primordial black holes. Using this model, we find that the fraction of dark matter in primordial black holes in the mass range 0.2 M_{⊙}<m_{PBH}<1.0 M_{⊙} is f_{PBH}≡Ω_{PBH}/Ω_{DM}≲6%. This improves existing constraints on primordial black hole abundance by a factor of ∼3. The other is a dissipative dark matter model, in which fermionic dark matter can collapse and form black holes. The upper limit on the fraction of dark matter black holes depends on the minimum mass of the black holes that can be formed: the most constraining result is obtained at M_{min}=1 M_{⊙}, where f_{DBH}≡Ω_{DBH}/Ω_{DM}≲0.003%. These are the first constraints placed on dissipative dark models by subsolar-mass analyses.

Abstract
This Letter reports the first measurement of high-energy reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay, with nearly 9000 inverse beta decay candidates in the prompt energy region of 8-12 MeV observed over 1958 days of data collection. A multivariate analysis is used to separate 2500 signal events from background statistically. The hypothesis of no reactor antineutrinos with neutrino energy above 10 MeV is rejected with a significance of 6.2 standard deviations. A 29% antineutrino flux deficit in the prompt energy region of 8-11 MeV is observed compared to a recent model prediction. We provide the unfolded antineutrino spectrum above 7 MeV as a data-based reference for other experiments. This result provides the first direct observation of the production of antineutrinos from several high-Q_{β} isotopes in commercial reactors.

Abstract
Birth cohort is an important platform to study the effect of early-life exposure on health outcome, but large cohorts to investigate the effect of preconception exposure, especially paternal exposure, on reproductive health and birth outcome are limited. The Preconception Reproductive Health and Birth Outcome Cohort (PREBIC) is a prospective birth cohort study which pays equal attention to the contribution of environmental, psychological, behavioral as well as other factors to reproductive health and adverse birth outcomes in both men and women in Chongqing, China. PREBIC started in 2019 and plans to recruit 20 800 reproductive-age couples with child-bearing willingness. Followed up was conducted to understand the conception status of the women within two years. Women in pregnancy would be visited at first, second, third trimesters and after delivery. The offspring would be monitored until 2 years old to understand the incidences of preterm birth, low birth weight, birth defects, neurodevelopmental disorders and other outcomes. Related information and biospecimen collections (including semen, peripheral blood, urine, placenta, umbilical cord, cord blood and oral swab) were scheduled in each period. By January 2022, PREBIC had recruited 8 698 participants from all 38 districts in Chongqing. The goal of PREBIC is to establish one of the largest prospective preconception birth cohorts covering both men and women, which might provide a unique insight to understand the effects of the full reproductive cycle on reproductive health and adverse outcomes, with especial emphasis on preconception exposures.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the anesthetic effects of mivacurium and cisatracurium besylate in laser laryngeal microsurgery, and to provide clinical evidence and reference for further optimization of muscle relaxation application. Methods: From October 2021 to January 2022, fifty-six patients of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, scheduled for laser laryngeal microsurgery with general anesthesia, were enrolled. These patients, aged 18-65 years old, 25 males and 31 females, were divided into two groups (n=28) by random number table method. Cisatracurium besylate group (group C): cisatracurium besylate was injected at 0.1 mg/kg. Normal saline was continuously infused during operation. Mivacurium group (group M):Mivacurium was injected at 0.25 mg/kg and continuously infused at 0.3 mg·kg-1·h-1 during operation.The intubation time, the extubation time, recovery index, Cooper's score, Cormack-Lehane grade, surgical condition grade, postoperative residual neuromuscular block and allergic related adverse events were compared between the two groups. Results: The intubation time and the extubation time of group M were (3.7±1.1) and (16.2±5.0) min, which were statistically significant shorter than those of group C (4.9±0.7) and (26.4±8.6) min (all P<0.05). The recovery indexes of the patients in group M and group C were (4.5±3.4) and (6.2±5.0) min. The Cooper's scores of the two groups were both 9(9, 9). The Cormack-Lehane grades of the two groups were all grade Ⅰ. The number of cases with good/excellent surgical condition grades in group M and group C were 5/23 and 0/28. There were no significant differences in recovery index, Cooper's score, Cormack-Lehane grades and surgical condition grades between the two groups (all P>0.05). The TOF ratio of group M in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) was (95.7±2.6) %, which was significantly higher than (92.9±3.9) % of group C(P=0.015). There were no significant differences in MAP and HR between the two groups at different time points (all P>0.05). The incidence of skin flushing in group M and group C was 10.7% (3/28) and 0, and the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.074). There were no cases of severe hypotension, significantly elevated airway pressure or airway spasm in both groups. Conclusion: In laser laryngeal microsurgery, compared with cisatracurium besylate, mivacurium has shorter intubation time and extubation time, stable hemodynamics, no significant increase in allergic related adverse events. mivacurium is safe and effective.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the heterogeneity and correlation of clinical phenotypes and genotypes in children with disorders of sex development (DSD). Methods: A retrospective study of 1 235 patients with clinically proposed DSD in 36 pediatric medical institutions across the country from January 2017 to May 2021. After capturing 277 DSD-related candidate genes, second-generation sequencing was performed to analyzed the heterogeneity and correlation combined with clinical phenotypes. Results: Among 1 235 children with clinically proposed DSD, 980 were males and 255 were females of social gender at the time of initial diagnosis with the age ranged from 1 day of age to 17.92 years. A total of 443 children with pathogenic variants were detected through molecular genetic studies, with a positive detection rate of 35.9%. The most common clinical phenotypes were micropenis (455 cases), hypospadias (321 cases), and cryptorchidism (172 cases) and common mutations detected were in SRD5A2 gene (80 cases), AR gene (53 cases) and CYP21A2 gene (44 cases). Among them, the SRD5A2 mutation is the most common in children with simple micropenis and simple hypospadias, while the AMH mutation is the most common in children with simple cryptorchidism. Conclusions: The SRD5A2 mutation is the most common genetic variant in Chinese children with DSD, and micropenis, cryptorchidism, and hypospadias are the most common clinical phenotypes. Molecular diagnosis can provide clues about the biological basis of DSD, and can also guide clinicians to perform specific clinical examinations. Target sequence capture probes and next-generation sequencing technology can provide effective and economical genetic diagnosis for children with DSD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of radical radiotherapy combined with different chemotherapy regimens (fluorouracil-based versus docetaxel plus cisplatin) on the incidence of radiation intestinal injury and the prognosis in patients with non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to recruit non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma patients who underwent chemoradiotherapy in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and Nanfang Hospital from July 2013 to January 2021. Inclusion criteria: (1) newly diagnosed anal and perianal squamous cell carcinoma; (2) completed radical radiotherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy; (3) tumor could be evaluated before radiotherapy. Exclusion criteria: (1) no imaging evaluation before treatment, or the tumor stage could not be determined; (2) patients undergoing local or radical resection before radiotherapy; (3) distant metastasis occurred before or during treatment; (4) recurrent anal squamous cell carcinoma. A total of 55 patients (48 from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and 7 from Nanfang Hospital) were given fluorouracil (the 5-FU group, n=34) or docetaxel combined with the cisplatin (the TP group, n=21). The evaluation of radiation intestinal injury, hematological toxicity and 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate were compared between the two groups. The effects of chemotherapy regimen and other clinicopathological factors on the incidence and severity of acute and chronic radiation intestinal injury were analyzed. The assessment of radiation intestinal injury was based on the American Cancer Radiotherapy Cooperation Group (RTOG) criteria. Results: During radiotherapy and within 3 months after radiotherapy, a total of 45 patients developed acute radiation intestinal injury, including 18 cases of grade 1 (32.7%), 22 cases of grade 2 (40.0%) and 5 cases of grade 3 (9.1%). No patient developed chronic radiation intestinal injury. Among the 34 patients in the 5-FU group, 21 had grade 2-3 radiation intestinal injury (21/34, 61.8%), which was significantly higher than that in the TP group (6/21, 28.6%) (χ(2)=5.723, P=0.017). Multivariate analysis showed that 5-FU chemotherapy regimen was an independent risk factor for radiation intestinal injury (HR=4.038, 95% CI: 1.250-13.045, P=0.020). With a median follow-up period of 26 (5-94) months, the 3-year DFS rate of patients in TP group and 5-FU group was 66.8% and 77.9%, respectively, whose difference was not significant (P=0.478). Univariate analysis showed that the DFS rate was associated with sex, age, tumor location, T stage, N stage, and induction chemotherapy (all P<0.05), while the DFS rate was not associated with chemotherapy regimen or radiation intestinal injury (both P>0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥ 50 years old was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients (HR=8.301, 95% CI: 1.130-60.996, P=0.038). Conclusions: For patients with non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma, radical radiotherapy combined with TP chemotherapy regimen can significantly reduce the incidence of radiation intestinal injury as compared to 5-FU regimen. However, due to the short follow-up time, the effect of different chemotherapy regimens on the prognosis is not yet clear.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) modification is an epigenetic marker involved in a range of biological processes. However, little information is available about its role in coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in the acute phase of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Aims
To investigate whether 5hmC modification correlates with the pathogenesis and progression of CAD and whether 5hmC in cfDNA can be used as biomarkers.
Methods
We utilized 5hmC-Seal to generate genome-wide 5hmC profiles in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) of normal coronary artery (NCA, n=200) controls and CAD patients, including stable coronary artery disease (sCAD, n=200) patients and ACS patients (n=371). To investigate the correlation between 5hmC modifications and CAD subtypes, we separated samples into training and validation cohorts and developed a 5hmC-based logistic regression model from the training cohort to predict the progression of CAD in the validation cohort.
Results
We detected a significant difference of 5hmC enrichment in gene bodies from CAD patients compared with NCA individuals. Particularly, our results showed that patients of CAD subgroups can be well separated from NCA individuals by 5hmC markers. The prediction performance of the model established by differentially regulated 5hmC modified genes achieved an AUC of 0.81 (sCAD vs. NCA) and 0.74 (ACS vs. NCA) in validation cohorts.
Conclusions
Our results demonstrated that patients of CAD subtypes and NCA individuals had distinct differences in 5hmC enrichment. 5hmC markers derived from plasma cfDNA may potentially serve as a clinical-applicable, minimally invasive, and liquid biopsy-based approach to diagnose CAD, particularly used to predict the occurrence of fetal ACS.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the challenges and problems of the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases in Shanghai as a megacities. Methods: An imported case of cutaneous anthrax occurred in Shanghai on May 30, 2019. Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control & Prevention conducted an epidemiological investigation and treatment of the cases; after this case, the data of patients with cutaneous anthrax were collected, and an epidemiological study was conducted. Meanwhile, the wound and blood samples of the patient were collected for laboratory testing. Results: Of the seven wound samples of the patient, 6 were positive for the Bacillus anthracis nucleic acid test, and the double serological test results showed a 4-fold increase in the titer of anthrax antibodies. Shanghai CDC conducted an epidemiological investigation of the confirmed cases and observed its contacts. After treatment, the patients recovered, and no other issues appeared among the 19 contacts. Conclusions: Shanghai must strengthen the training of clinicians on emerging infectious diseases to achieve early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of imported infectious diseases and reduce the incidence, spread, and death of the diseases. At the same time, multi-department joint prevention and control are needed to prevent and control secondary cases.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical effects of arthroscopic lateral retinacular proximal release and "L" type release for lateral patellar compression syndrome. Methods: Sixty four lateral patellar compression syndrome (LPCS) patients were recruited who had arthroscopic surgery during September 2004 to January 2019 at Department of Sports Medicine,Peking University Third Hospital by the same group of doctors and a retrospective comparative study was conducted accordingly. Among them,24 cases underwent the traditional proximal release of lateral patellar retinaculum (traditional group),including 7 males and 17 females with an age of (42.9±14.6)years(range:23 to 72 years); 40 cases were treated with novel lateral retinacular release of "L" type release revised based on the previous experiences (novel group), consisting of 12 males and 28 females with an age of (54.9±13.1) years (range:28 to 76 years).All the patients participated surveys for the visual analogue scale (VAS),Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) knee function subjective evaluation before and after the operation. The comparison of scores within groups was performed by Wilcoxon test,and comparison between groups was performed by Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square test. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the related factors affecting each score. Results: The follow-up durations of traditional group and novel group were (12.6±1.0) years (range:11.7 to 15.3 years) and (2.2±1.0)years(range:1.0 to 4.4 years) respectively. At the last follow-up,VAS(0(1.0)to 6.0(2.0),Z=-5.471,P<0.01),Lysholm score(98.0(10.0)to 48.0(40.0),Z=-5.511,P<0.01),and IKDC score(82.8(11.2)to 37.4(18.5),Z=-5.444,P<0.01) in novel group were statistically significantly improved,and the postoperative excellent rate of Lysholm score was 97.5% in general. There was no significant difference in the changes of the three scores (P>0.05) between the traditional group and the novel group. However,20.8% (5/24)patients in the traditional group reported significant weakness of the knee extension after surgery,while no such complain was received in the novel group (P<0.01).The results of univariate analysis showed that surgical method was a related factor affecting the changes of VAS before and after surgery (P<0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that whether or not with osteoarthritis and operation type were independent factors affecting the changes of Lysholm and IKDC scores (P<0.05). Conclusions: The long-term effect of arthroscopic lateral retinacular release for the treatment of LPCS is satisfactory. Compared with the traditional proximal release surgery,the "L" type release can effectively avoid the complication of significant weakness of the knee extension significantly.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics and prognosis of hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Patients diagnosed with bacterial meningitis who were hospitalized in Beijing Children's Hospital between 2010 and 2016 and older than 28 days and younger than 18 years at symptom onset were included in this study (n=573). All clinical information including hearing assessment results during hospitalization were reviewed. All patients with hearing loss were followed up to repeat their hearing test and assess their hearing condition with parents' evaluation of aural and (or) oral performance of children (PEACH). Patients were grouped according to their hearing assessment results, and Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for hearing loss in patients with bacterial meningitis. Results: Five hundred and seventy-three patients were enrolled in this study, including 347 males and 226 females. The onset age ranged from 29 days to 15.8 years. Two hundred and forty-six patients had identified causative pathogens, among whom 92 cases (37.4%) were pneumococcal meningitis cases. Hearing loss was found in 160 cases (27.9%) during hospitalization, involving 240 ears. Permanent hearing loss was found in 20 cases (16.9%), involving 32 ears. In the patients with permanent hearing loss, 87.5% (28/32) of ears were identified as severe or profound hearing loss during hospitalization. Logistic regression analysis showed that dystonia, the protein concentration level in cerebrospinal fluid>1 g/L, glucose concentration level lower than 1 mmol/L and subdural effusion were independent risk factors for hearing loss (OR=2.426 (1.450-4.059), 1.865 (1.186-2.932), 1.544 (1.002-2.381) and 1.904 (1.291-2.809)). Conclusions: Hearing loss is a common sequela of bacterial meningitis in children. Most patients have transient hearing loss, but patients with severe or profound hearing impairment have a higher risk of developing permanent hearing loss.

Constraints on Cosmic Strings Using Data from the Third Advanced LIGO-Virgo Observing Run. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2021; 126:241102.

Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
CircRNA is a new endogenous non-coding RNA(ncRNA ) and a member of the competitive endogenous RNA(ceRNA) family. Some researches have found that circRNA exists widely in organisms and interacts with miRNA, which has certain influence on the occurrence and development of liver diseases. This article reviews the research progress of circRNA and its biological functions, as well as the relationship between circRNA and liver disease, in order to expound the role of circRNA in liver diseases and guide clinical practice better.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association of lipoprotein a (Lpa) in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. Methods: A total of 445 pregnant women in 12-14 gestational weeks from "Maternal Key Nutritional Factors and Offspring's Atopic Dermatitis" cohort were included in this study. The demographic characteristics of participants were collected by using questionnaires, and the fasting glucose and lipids levels in early pregnancy were measured. The results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24-28 gestational weeks were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression model was applied to analyze the association of Lpa with GDM by calculating the OR and 95%CI after adjustment for covariates. Results: The incidence number of GDM was 78 (17.5%). The Lpa level in pregnant women with GDM was significantly higher than that in pregnant women without GDM [105.5 (92.0, 122.0) vs. 97.0 (87.0, 109.0) mg/L], P<0.05. Lpa was significantly associated with GDM risk [OR (95%CI) =1.21(1.08-1.36) per 10 mg/L], P<0.05. The association was still significant after adjustment for covariates including age, gestational weeks et al, the adjusted OR was 1.14 (95%CI: 1.01-1.30), P=0.03. Conclusions: The elevation of Lpa in early pregnancy is one of risk factor for GDM. Maintaining normal Lpa level during early pregnancy can benefit early prevention of GDM and offspring health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infections among neonates in Fujian Province, so as to provide insights into the development of interventions for the prevention and control of congenital toxoplasmosis. METHODS A total of 1 045 neonates delivered in Fujian Province from 2017 to 2018 were recruited, including 387 preterm infants and 658 full-term infants. Umbilical cord blood was sampled from all neonates, and the seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody was detected and compared between preterm and full-term infants. In addition, elbow venous blood samples were collected from neonates'mothers, and the seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody was detected and compared between preterm and full-term infants'mothers. RESULTS The overall seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody was 9.38% among the 1 045 neonates in Fujian Province. The seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody was 18.35% in the 387 preterm infants, and there was no significant difference in the seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody between male and female infants (17.69% vs. 18.75%, χ2 = 0.07, P > 0.05). The seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody was 4.10% in the 658 full-term infants, and there was no significant difference in the seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody between male and female infants (4.14% vs. 4.08%, χ2 = 0, P > 0.05). In addition, the overall seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG antibody was 15.02% in all neonates' mothers, and the seroprevalence was significantly greater in preterm infants'mothers than in full-term infant's mothers (20.93% vs. 11.55%, χ2 = 16.79, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The seroprevalence of T. gondii infections is significantly higher in preterm infants and their mothers than in full-term infants and their mothers. Prenatal detection of T. gondii infections and health education pertaining to toxoplasmosis prevention and control knowledge are required to be strengthened to effectively reduce the incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis.

Abstract
Universal red blood cells (RBCs) differentiated from O-negative human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) could find applications in transfusion medicine. Given that each transfusion unit of blood requires 2 trillion RBCs, efficient bioprocesses need to be developed for large-scale in vitro generation of RBCs. We have developed a scalable suspension agitation culture platform for differentiating hiPSC-microcarrier aggregates into functional RBCs and have demonstrated scalability of the process starting with 6 well plates and finally demonstrating in 500 mL spinner flasks. Differentiation of the best-performing hiPSCs generated 0.85 billion erythroblasts in 50 mL cultures with cell densities approaching 1.7 × 107 cells/mL. Functional (oxygen binding, hemoglobin characterization, membrane integrity, and fluctuations) and transcriptomics evaluations showed minimal differences between hiPSC-derived and adult-derived RBCs. The scalable agitation suspension culture differentiation process we describe here could find applications in future large-scale production of RBCs in controlled bioreactors. Scalable process for differentiating hiPSC-microcarrier aggregates into RBCs Erythroid differentiation potential of multiple hiPSC lines was evaluated hiPSC RBCs and adult RBCs revealed minor differences functionally and transcriptionally Co-culture of hiPSC RBCs with OP9 cells (2D and 3D) promoted improved enucleation

Abstract
Fractionation is necessary for self-assembly in multicomponent mixtures. Here, reversible fractionation and crystallization are realized and studied in two-dimensional binary colloids which are supersaturated by enhancing the attraction between colloidal particles. As a deep and fast supersaturation results in gels with a uniform distribution of binary particles, a gradual quasistatic supersaturation process leads to a two-step crystallization in which small particles and large particles are fractionated as coexisting crystal and liquid phases respectively. Fractionation occurs as well in the quasistatic melting of gels. We show that the synchronized fractionation and phase separation arises from the competition between the size-dependent repulsion and the tunable attraction. The results in this study demonstrate a robust mechanism of fractionation via phase separation, and have important implication in understanding the reversible formation of membraneless organelles in living cells.

Abstract
On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio of 14.7, and an estimated false-alarm rate of 1 in 4900 yr using a search sensitive to generic transients. If GW190521 is from a quasicircular binary inspiral, then the detected signal is consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses of 85_{-14}^{+21} M_{⊙} and 66_{-18}^{+17} M_{⊙} (90% credible intervals). We infer that the primary black hole mass lies within the gap produced by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova processes, with only a 0.32% probability of being below 65 M_{⊙}. We calculate the mass of the remnant to be 142_{-16}^{+28} M_{⊙}, which can be considered an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH). The luminosity distance of the source is 5.3_{-2.6}^{+2.4} Gpc, corresponding to a redshift of 0.82_{-0.34}^{+0.28}. The inferred rate of mergers similar to GW190521 is 0.13_{-0.11}^{+0.30} Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the effects of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure on hemodynamics in cirrhotic patients. Methods: A total of 23 cirrhotic patients for TIPS insertion were enrolled from January 2018 to October 2018. Serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), transthoracic echocardiography and non-invasive cardiac output measurement based on impedance cardiogram were carried out before and 24h, 1 month, 6 months after TIPS in order to observe cardiac function and hemodynamic changes after TIPS. Results: Significant increases in right atrial area [(17.2±4.0) cm(2) vs. (15.0±3.4) cm(2), P<0.05], right ventricular area [(15.1±3.8) cm(2) vs. (13.7±3.5) cm(2), P<0.05] and left ventricular volume [(97.4±21.5) ml vs. (91.1±22.7) ml, P<0.05] were observed 24 h after TIPS. These changes were accompanied with significant reduction in collapsible index of inferior vena cava [(20.7± 8.1)% vs. (28.6±11.3)%, P<0.01] and elevation in pulmonary arterial systolic pressure [(36.0±8.4) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (31.8±5.4) mmHg, P<0.01]. There also existed significantly elevated serum NT-proBNP [(551.2±325.1) ng/L vs. (124.2±94.4) ng/L, P<0.01], cardiac output [(5.82±0.96) L/min vs. (5.12±1.28) L/min, P<0.01], cardiac index [(3.47±0.64) L·min(-1)·m(-2) vs. (3.05±0.78) L·min(-1)·m(-2), P<0.01], early diastolic filling rate [(59.0±14.3)% vs. (54.5±11.0)%, P<0.05], and reduced systemic vascular resistance index (SVRi) [(1 798.4±357.3) dyne·s·cm(-5)·m(-2) vs. (2 195.7±508.7) dyne·s·cm(-5)·m(-2), P<0.01] 24 h after TIPS. At the end of 6-month follow-up, all these parameters, but not SVRi, returned towards baseline values. Moreover, peak early to late diastolic tissue velocity ratio at the level of lateral mitral annulus (E'/A') was significantly higher at the end of 6-month follow-up than that at baseline (1.06±0.32 vs. 0.90±0.45, P<0.05). Neither the right ventricular fractional area changes nor the left ventricular ejection fractions during the follow-up period were different from those at baseline (P>0.05). Conclusion: Cirrhotic patients who had no cardiovascular pathologies had adequate adaptation and good compensation ability to reach a new hemodynamic homeostasis for the increased volume load after TIPS insertion.
