Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative joint disease worldwide. The pathological features of OA are the erosion of articular cartilage, subchondral bone sclerosis, synovitis, and metabolic disorder. Its progression is characterized by aberrant expression of genes involved in inflammation, proliferation, and metabolism of chondrocytes. Effective therapeutic strategies are limited, as mechanisms underlying OA pathophysiology remain unclear. Significant research efforts are ongoing to elucidate the complex molecular mechanisms underlying OA focused on gene transcription. However, posttranscriptional alterations also play significant function in inflammation and metabolic changes related diseases. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) have been recognized as important regulators in posttranscriptional regulation. RBPs regulate RNA subcellular localization, stability, and translational efficiency by binding to their target mRNAs, thereby controlling their protein expression. However, their role in OA is less clear. Identifying RBPs in OA is of great importance to better understand OA pathophysiology and to figure out potential targets for OA treatment. Hence, in this manuscript, we summarize the recent knowledge on the role of dysregulated RBPs in OA and hope it will provide new insight for OA study and targeted treatment.

Abstract
Alpha power attenuation during cognitive task performing has been suggested to reflect a process of release of inhibition, increase of excitability, and thereby benefit the improvement of performance. Here, we hypothesized that changes in individual alpha power during the execution of a complex language comprehension task may correlate with the individual performance in that task. We tested this using magnetoencephalography (MEG) recorded during comprehension of German sentences of different syntactic complexity. Results showed that neither the frequency nor the power of the spontaneous oscillatory activity at rest were associated with the individual performance. However, during the execution of a sentences processing task, the individual alpha power attenuation did correlate with individual language comprehension performance. Source reconstruction localized these effects in left temporal-parietal brain regions known to be associated with language processing and their right-hemisphere homologues. Our results support the notion that in-task attenuation of individual alpha power is related to the essential mechanisms of the underlying cognitive processes, rather than merely to general phenomena like attention or vigilance.

Abstract
Thermally expanded core (TEC) technology is an effective method of high-power fiber lasers. Miniaturization is also a major challenge for high-power lasers. We have proposed a miniaturized mode-locker based on TEC fiber and MoTe2-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. The proposed mode-locker is consisting of two TEC ferrules, a piece of MoTe2-PVA film and a ceramic sleeve. The length of the proposed device is about 20 mm, and its outer diameter is about 2 mm. The relations between heating time, heating temperature, and mode field diameter (MFD) have been numerically simulated. The bending loss with respect to MFD has also been analyzed. The simulation results have revealed the trade-off relation between maximal tolerable intensity and low cavity loss, which means that there is an optimal MFD corresponding to optimal heating time and heating temperature. The proposed mode-locker has been applied in an integrated fiber laser, which has emitted ultrafast soliton with 3 times intensity larger than that of conventional sandwiched-type saturable absorber. The proposed mode-locker and fiber laser will find important applications in laser processing, laser ranging, and optical communication.

Abstract
Denosumab and zoledronic acid had similar tumor responses and clinical benefits. Disease progression was observed in patients in the DB group (12.5%) than ZA group (15.0%). Denosumab treatment was markedly more expensive than zoledronic acid treatment (p < 0.0001). The recurrence-free survival rate at 4-year follow-up is higher in DB group (p = 0.035).
Background Giant-cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a relatively benign, but locally aggressive osteoclastogenic stromal tumour of the bone. Although denosumab has been approved as an monoclonal antibody against RANK ligand for the treatment of GCTB, few clinical trials of the benefit in tumor response have been conducted to prove the efficiency in Chinese population. Objectives In this multicentric, random controlled, clinical trial, 160 patients were enrolled to compare the therapeutic efficacy and safety of denosumab and zoledronic acid treatment in patients with surgically unsalvageable GCTB. Methods Between 2nd Jan 2015 and 1st Jan 2018, 160 adults (aged ≥ 18 years) with ①surgically unsalvageable GCTB, ②surgically salvageable GCTB with planned surgery expected to result in severe morbidity were included in this randomized clinical trial. Patients received either subcutaneous denosumab (DB group; 120 mg once every 4 weeks with loading doses of 120 mg subcutaneously admininstered on days 8 and 15; n = 80) or intravenous zoledronic acid (ZA group; 4 mg once every 4 weeks; n = 80) for six cycles. Disease status, clinical benefits, treatment-emergent adverse effects, overall survival, and cost of treatment were evaluated during the follow-up period. Statistical significance was determined using 95% confidence intervals. Results Denosumab and zoledronic acid had similar tumor responses (p = 0.118) and clinical benefits (p = 0.574). Disease progression was observed in fewer patients in the DB group (12.5%) than ZA group (15.0%). Denosumab caused fatigue (p = 0.001) and back pain (p < 0.0001), while zoledronic acid caused hypocalcemia (p < 0.0001), flu-like symptoms (p = 0.059) and hypotension (p = 0.059). Denosumab treatment was markedly more expensive than zoledronic acid treatment (p < 0.0001). The cost to manage treatment-emergent adverse effects was the same for the ZA group and the DB group (p = 0.425). The accumulate recurrence-free survival rate at 4-year follow-up is higher in DB group (p = 0.035). Conclusions Denosumab is a safe but costly alternative to zoledronic acid for treatment of surgically unsalvageable GCTB.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the gender differences of genetic etiology in the incidence of major depression disorder among Han freshmen. Methods: A 1-year follow-up survey was carried out among 8 079 Han freshmen from Jining, Rizhao and Weifang without lifetime major depressive disorder (MDD) at baseline (April to October 2018) and 4 828 venous blood samples were also collected. After extracting DNA, Sequenom Mass Array time-of-flight mass spectrometry biochip technology was used to detect the genotypes of 17 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) MDD-related loci. Logistic regression was used for univariate analysis. Generalized multifactor dimension reduction was used to analyze gene-gene interactions. Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) 3.0 was used for MDD diagnosis. Results: The 1-year incidence of MDD among Han freshmen was 2.23% (95%CI: 1.91%-2.60%) and the gender difference of incidence between males (1.97%, 95%CI: 1.52%-2.56%) and females (2.39%, 95%CI: 1.98%-2.90%) was not statistically significant (P>0.05). AG genotype of rs768705 (nearby gene: TMEM161B) was a risk factor for MDD (OR=1.98, 95%CI: 1.24-2.83). The TC genotype of rs17727765 (nearby gene: CRYBA1) was only a risk factor for MDD in males (OR=9.61, 95%CI: 2.04-45.30). An 8-loci interaction model (PMFBP1, OLFM4, LHPP, ENOX1, TMEM161B, SPPL3, FBXL4 and L3MBTL2) could predict MDD in women with an accuracy rate of 60.05%. No effective prediction model was found for MDD in men. Conclusions: There might be gender differences in the genetic etiology of MDD. Further researches on the genetic causes of MDD in men should be explored.

Abstract
Autophagy is designated as a biological recycling process to maintain cellular homeostasis by the sequestration of damaged proteins and organelles in plasma and cargo delivery to lysosomes for degradation and reclamation. This organelle recycling process promotes chondrocyte homeostasis and has been previously implicated in osteoarthritis (OA). Autophagy is widely involved in regulating chondrocyte degeneration markers such as MMPs, ADAMSTs and Col10 in chondrocytes. The critical autophagy‐related (ATG) proteins have now been considered the protective factor against late‐onset OA. The current research field proposes that the autophagic pathway is closely related to chondrocyte activity. However, the mechanism is complex yet needs precise elaboration. This review concluded that FoxO1, a forkhead O family protein, which is a decisive mediator of autophagy, facilitates the pathological process of osteoarthritis. Diverse mechanisms regulate the activity of FoxO1 and promote the initiation of autophagy, including the prominent AMPK and Sirt‐2 cellular pathways. FoxO1 transactive is regulated by phosphorylation and acetylation processes, which modulates the downstream ATGs expression. Furthermore, FoxO1 induces autophagy by directly interacting with ATGs proteins, which control the formation of autophagosomes and lysosomes fusion. This review will discuss cutting‐edge evidence that the FoxO–autophagy pathway plays an essential regulator in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the clinical value of routine contrast esophagram (RCE) for the diagnosis of anastomotic leakage (AL) after three-incision esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis. Methods: Clinical data of 1 022 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent McKeown three-incision esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis from January 2015 to December 2019 at Department of Minimally Invasive Esophageal Surgery, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital and Institute were analyzed retrospectively. There were 876 males and 146 females, aging(M(IQR)) 48(16) years (range: 36 to 84 years). There were 253 patients (24.8%) with neoadjuvant therapy, and 817 patients (79.9%) with minimally invasive esophagectomy. According to the diagnosis and treatment habits of the attending surgeons, 333 patients were included in the RCE group, and RCE was performed on the 7th day postoperative, while 689 patients were included in the non-RCE group, and RCE was performed when the patients had suspicious symptoms. Taking clinical symptoms, RCE, CT, endoscopy and other methods as reference to the diagnosis of AL, the sensitivity and specificity were used to analyze and evaluate the efficacy of RCE for the diagnosis of AL. The data were compared by U test or χ² test between groups. Results: The incidence rate of AL after three-incision esophagectomy was 7.34% (75/1 022), including 30 cases in the RCE group and 45 cases in the non-RCE group (9.0%(30/333) vs. 6.5%(45/689), χ²=2.027, P=0.155). The diagnostic time of AL was 9(5) days postoperative (range: 4 to 30 days). Among them, 23 cases showed cervical leakages, 50 cases showed intro-thoracic leakages, and 2 cases both cervical and intro-thoracic leakages. The diagnostic time of patients with intro-thoracic leakages was longer than that of cervical leakages (10(4) days vs. 6(3) days, Z=-2.517, P=0.012). Among the 333 patients in the RCE group, 16 cases of RCE indicated leakages including 11 cases of true positive and 5 cases determined to be false positive, while 317 cases indicated no abnormalities including 19 cases developed leakages. The sensitivity and specificity of RCE to detect AL were 36.7%(11/30) and 98.3%(298/333), respectively. The Youden-index was 0.35, and the diagnostic accuracy was 92.8%(309/333). The positive and negative predictive value were 11/16 and 94.0%(298/317), respectively. Conclusions: Routine contrast esophagram after three-incision esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis has low sensitivity and high specificity in the diagnosis of AL. The diagnostic time of AL is the 9th day after surgery. It is necessary to prolong the observation time clinically, and combine RCE with CT, endoscopy and other inspection methods for diagnosis.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is prone to recurrence and metastasis, which is the subtype of poorest prognosis. Chemotherapy is the main treatment, although there is lack of effective adjuvant chemotherapy regimens. The unsatisfactory efficacy of chemotherapy has been a bottleneck in improving the outcome of TNBC. Platinum compounds act directly on DNA to kill tumor cells, and they have a stronger killing effect on tumor cells carrying DNA damage repair (DDR) defects, which is an important entry point to improve the efficacy of TNBC. Biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of platinum drugs in TNBC treatment have always been a hot topic. The DDR pathway contains a large number of related genes, and recent studies have shown that deficiencies in the DDR pathway may be associated with the efficacy of platinum drugs, which is expected to be a biomarker for predicting the efficacy of platinum drugs in breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
To introduce a novel technique to reconstruct the acetabular labrum using capsular autograft, and to evaluate the preliminary clinical outcome, a retrospective review of a prospectively collected registry was undertaken that identified 21 patients (21 hips) who underwent arthroscopic reconstruction of the labrum by capsular autograft from January 2016 to January 2018. Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score (HOS), and Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively. Clinical outcome was analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique. Twenty-one patients, with an average follow-up time of 25.4 ± 1.6 months, were included in this study: 7 patients were diagnosed with hypoplastic labrum (width <5 mm), 9 patients with complex tear of labrum, and 5 patients with degenerative labrum. The mHHS (61.3 ± 5.5 vs. 87.5 ± 4.2, P<0.001), HOS (52.5 ± 5.1 vs. 87.3 ± 3.8, P<0.001) and HOS-ADL (48.5 ± 5.8% vs. 75.2 ± 3.5%, P<0.001) between preoperative and the 6-month follow-up were significantly different. Gender exerts no influence on the outcome of mHHS, HOS and HOS-ADL. Therefore, local capsular autograft is readily available during arthroscopy with no donor-site morbidity. The reconstruction of the hip labrum may be valuable for patients with hypoplastic or dysplastic labrum, complex tear of labrum and severe degeneration. With appropriate patient selection, this technique is promising in preliminary clinical outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achieving secure fixation and preventing retear have been recognized as fundamental in arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears. Moreover, reducing internal implantation can lower medical expenses and minimize the operation time, which is essential for the surgical safety and postoperative rehabilitation of the patients. We have recently proposed the point union bridge (PUB) suture configuration as a novel method for not only providing equivalent fixation but also decreasing the operation time and medical expenses. However, no comparative clinical studies have been performed. METHODS From March 2014 to September 2016, a total of 88 patients with diagnoses of medium-size rotator cuff tears underwent arthroscopic repair with a randomly assigned technique-either the PUB technique (n = 42) or the double-row suture bridge (DRSB) technique (n = 46). All patients underwent a minimal 2-year follow-up. We used the Constant-Murley score (CMS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, active and passive range of motion, and visual pain-simulation score (visual analog scale [VAS] score) to assess the functional outcomes. In addition, we recorded the arthroscopic operation time, medical costs, and postoperative complications. All patients received magnetic resonance imaging at the 6-month and 2-year postoperative evaluations to assess structural integrity and tendon healing. RESULTS At the 2-year follow-up, all scoring parameters evaluated (CMS, ASES score, and VAS score), as well as active and passive range of motion, improved significantly in both groups as compared with preoperative assessments. The PUB technique significantly decreased the operation time (55.9 ± 14.1 minutes vs. 72.2 ± 14.2 minutes for PUB vs. DRSB, P < .001) and medical expenses ($2608.0 ± $391.1 vs. $4056.9 ± $350.9 for PUB vs. DRSB, P < .001). However, no significant differences between the 2 techniques were found in any functional assessments of the shoulder (CMS, ASES score, and VAS score), repair integrity, or the retear rate at the 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic repair of the medium-size rotator cuff tear with either the PUB or DRSB technique could yield both satisfactory improvements in the shoulder function of patients and equivalent tendon integrity. With less consumption of internal implants, the PUB technique significantly reduced the operation time and decreased medical expenses.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the gemcitabine combined with nedaplatin (GN) chemotherapy for metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative breast cancer patients. Methods: Forty-five patients with HER-2 negative recurrent metastatic breast cancer who had received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy with anthracycline and/or taxanes were enrolled. All the patients received GN regime from January 2014 to February 2019. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1. The adverse response was evaluated and monitored according to common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE). The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and prognostic factors were also analyzed. Results: All of the 45 patients received 4 course GN, 1 of them achieved complete response, 21 achieved partial response. The objective response rate was 48.9 (95% CI: 33.7%-64.1%). Grade 3-4 hematological toxicities include leukopenia occurred in 10 (22.2%) of patients, neutropenia in 13 (28.9%) patients, and thrombocytopenia in 8 (17.6%) patients. The grade 3-4 hematological toxicities mainly manifested as nausea and vomiting, and the incidence was 4.4% (2/45). Among the 45 patients, 34 died, the median PFS was 5.1 (95% CI: 3.9-6.1) months and the median OS was 17.6 (95% CI: 13.1-20.9) months. Conclusion: The combination of gemcitabine and nedaplatin is an effective and tolerable treatment for metastatic breast cancer patients previously treated with anthracyclines and/or taxanes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the expression and biological functions of long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) ribonuclease P RNA component H1 (RPPH1) in gastric cancer (GC), and to analyze the correlations of lncRNA expression with the clinical features and prognosis of GC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The relative expression of RPPH1 in tissue specimens from 60 GC patients was measured via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR), and the correlations of RPPH1 expression with tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, lymph node metastasis, etc. in GC patients were analyzed. Then, qRT-PCR was performed to detect the relative expression level of RPPH1 in GC cells. Moreover, colony formation assay, 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, wound-healing assay, and transwell assay were employed to investigate the influence of RPPH1 on GC cell functions. After interfering in the expression of RPPH1, the changes in p21 (CDKN1A, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A) expression were determined through qRT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS It was shown in qRT-PCR assay results that the expression of RPPH1 was upregulated in 60 cases of GC tissues. Statistical analysis revealed that RPPH1 expression was positively correlated with the TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and infiltration depth in GC patients. Besides, highly expressed lncRNA RPPH1 suggested poor prognosis of GC patients. Based on the results of qRT-PCR assay, the expression of RPPH1 in GC cells was upregulated. After interfering in RPPH1 expression, both colony formation assay and EdU staining indicated that the proliferative capacity of GC cells was repressed. Furthermore, it was manifested in the results of wound-healing and transwell assays that the migratory and invasive abilities of GC cells were weakened. Finally, the qRT-PCR and Western blotting assay results demonstrated that p21 expression was upregulated after interfering in the expression of RPPH1 in GC cells. CONCLUSIONS The expression of lncRNA RPPH1 is upregulated in GC, suggesting that the prognosis of the patients is poor. Highly expressed RPPH1 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of GC cells by regulating p21 expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sarcopenia is a condition associated with progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function resulting in substantial negative health outcomes and disability in older adults. It is thus important that sarcopenia-related risk factors be explored. The present study was based upon the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia 2019 (AWGS2019) criteria to assess whether vitamin D levels are a risk factor associated with sarcopenia in various ethnic groups in western China. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Communities in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Xinjiang provinces. PARTICIPANTS We included 4236 individuals that were 50 years of age or older from the West China Health and Aging Trend (WCHAT) study. MEASUREMENTS An InBody 770 instrument was used for bioimpedance-based analyses of muscle mass, while a digital grip strength dynamometer was used for handgrip strength-based measurements of muscle strength. Physical performance was assessed based upon gait speed over 4 m. Other secondary variables were additionally analyzed as potentially relevant risk factors. RESULTS Sarcopenia affected an estimated 22.45% of studied individuals who were 50 years of age or older, with respective prevalence rates in the < 60, 60-64, 65-79, and ≥80 age groups of 11.78%,19.44%, 32.65%, and 67.97%. Rates in males and females were 26.66% and 20.05%, respectively. In males, a significant difference in vitamin D levels was detected when comparing individuals with and without sarcopenia, although no such relationship was detected in females. Following adjustment for confounding variables, binary logistic regression analyses revealed that inadequate vitamin D was able to independently predict sarcopenia risk only in males (OR=1.875,95%CI: 1.109-3.169, P=0.019). CONCLUSIONS Among middle-aged and older adults of multiple ethnicities in western China, we found that inadequate vitamin D was an independent predictor of sarcopenia risk specifically in males.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The West China Health and Aging Trends study (WCHAT) is intended to focus on the research that will guide efforts to reduce disability, maximize health and independent functioning, and enhance quality of life at older ages in different ethnicities. And provide the basis for understanding trends and dynamics in late-life functioning, how these differ in various ethnic subgroups, and the economic or social consequences of aging and disability in western China. PARTICIPANTS The cohort enrolled 7536 participants and 7439 participants aged 50 years and older in the baseline in 2018 and every year would be followed up. Finding to date: The data in WCHAT were prospectively collected from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Xinjiang by 7 medical institutions. A number of age-related outcome measures were collected though corresponding geriatric assessments. Blood testing, saliva, urine and feces testing are available for all cohort participants. Future plans: The data in WCHAT can be used for various types of epidemiological research, particularly for examining how the culture specific life styles and diet influences geriatrics related outcomes. We are initially planning cohort studies and established a sample biobank in relation to the risk and prognosis of frailty, sarcopenia and other geriatric syndromes. Strengths and limitations of this study: It is a first multi-ethnic cohort study in West China that aimed to investigate the influence of culture specific life styles, diet and living environment on the prevalence of geriatric syndromes like frailty, sarcopenia and so on. This is a prospective multi-center observational study, which will be conducted in various ethnic groups gathering places. This study collected information that related to fatigue, falls, and cognition were obtained through self-reports, which might have recall bias and grouping errors. This study has problems such as the interviewees' refusal to visit, death, going out, and large population mobility may lead to high loss of visit rates. This study collected information from a comparatively healthier elderly population in which external validity was limited.

Abstract
Previous reports have described close relationships between sarcopenia and either visual impairment or depression, but there have been few analyses investigating the association between sarcopenia and the coexistence of both visual impairment and depression. Herein, we sought to explore the associations between sarcopenia and comorbid depressive symptoms and visual impairment among older females. A cross-sectional analysis of females between the ages of 50 and 95 (n = 2454) from the West China Health and Aging Trend (WCHAT) study was conducted. Patient muscle mass was assessed via a bioimpedance-based approach using an InBody 770 device, while muscle strength was estimated based on handgrip strength as quantified with a digital grip strength dynamometer. Depressive systems were evaluated with the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), and a questionnaire was employed to evaluate patient visual functionality. Associations between sarcopenia and comorbid depressive status and visual impairment were explored through logistic regression analyses. Comorbid depressive symptoms and visual impairment were observed in 6.2% of the women included in this study, while 18.9% suffered from sarcopenia. Following adjustment for covariates, relative to normal controls, study subjects with only depression (OR=1.45, 95%CI=1.04-2.02), only visual impairment (OR=1.69, 95%CI=1.27-2.26), or comorbid depression and visual impairment (OR=1.76, 95% CI=1.16-2.67) exhibited a higher risk of sarcopenia. These results suggest that comorbid depression and visual impairment are linked to the prevalence of sarcopenia in older Chinese women. As such, further efforts to screen older women for these two comorbid conditions may thus be necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Emerging evidence has indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating cancer carcinogenesis; however, its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains largely unknown. Our work was aimed to investigate the role of miR-4513 in regulating OSCC cells behaviors. MATERIALS AND METHODS MiR-4513 expression in OSCC cells was analyzed by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were analyzed by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, wound-healing assay, transwell invasion assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. The connections of miR-4513 and CXC ligand 17 (CXCL17) were analyzed by luciferase reporter assay and Western blot assay. RESULTS MiR-4513 expression was found elevated in the OSCC cell lines. The downregulation of miR-4513 expression inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion and, at the same time, promotes apoptosis. Furthermore, we validated CXCL17 as a direct target of miR-4513. Knocking down the expression of CXCL17, inhibited the effects of miR-4513 on OSCC cell behaviors. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested the oncogenic role of miR-4513 in OSCC, and therefore it might be used as a target for the OSCC treatment.
