Abstract
What are the new contents of the guideline since 2010?A.Patients with primary and non-primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are included in these guidelines for the diagnosis and management of cholangiocarcinoma.B.Define "related stricture" as any biliary or hepatic duct stricture accompanied by the signs or symptoms of obstructive cholestasis and/or bacterial cholangitis.C.Patients who have had an inconclusive report from MRI and cholangiopancreatography should be reexamined by high-quality MRI/cholangiopancreatography for diagnostic purposes. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography should be avoided for the diagnosis of PSC.D. Patients with PSC and unknown inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should undergo diagnostic colonoscopic histological sampling, with follow-up examination every five years until IBD is detected.E. PSC patients with IBD should begin colon cancer monitoring at 15 years of age.F. Individual incidence rates should be interpreted with caution when using the new clinical risk tool for PSC for risk stratification.G. All patients with PSC should be considered for clinical trials; however, if ursodeoxycholic acid (13-23 mg/kg/day) is well tolerated and after 12 months of treatment, alkaline phosphatase (γ- Glutamyltransferase in children) and/or symptoms are significantly improved, it can be considered to continue to be used.H. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with cholangiocytology brushing and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis should be performed on all patients suspected of having hilar or distal cholangiocarcinoma.I.Patients with PSC and recurrent cholangitis are now included in the new unified network organ sharing policy for the end-stage liver disease model standard.J. Liver transplantation is recommended after neoadjuvant therapy for patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma with diameter < 3 cm or combined with PSC and no intrahepatic (extrahepatic) metastases.

Abstract
The clinical data of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients from twenty hemodialysis centers in Guizhou province from June to September 2020 were collected by cross-sectional study. The patients were divided into AFD group and non-AFD group according to whether AFD had occurred. LTI was measured by body composition monitor. The results showed that the incidence of AFD in 2 781 MHD patients was 30.0% (835/2 781). Median LTI level was 15.2 (13.2, 17.5) kg/m2. The LTI level in the AFD group was higher than that in the non-AFD group (P < 0.05). According to the tertiles of LTI, low LTI group (LTI ≤ 13.9 kg/m2) had the highest incidence of AFD (35.5%, 334/940), and the high LTI group had the lowest incidence of AFD (26.3%, 241/916), and the difference among the three groups was statistically significant (χ2=20.182,P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low LTI group as the reference, the risk of AFD in moderate LTI group (13.9 kg/m2 < LTI ≤ 16.6 kg/m2) and high LTI group were associated with the 20.0% (OR=0.800, 95% CI 0.650-0.986, P=0.036) and 22.8% (OR=0.772, 95% CI 0.616-0.966, P=0.024) decrease, respectively. These results suggest that low LTI level is independently associated with an increased risk of AFD in MHD patients.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the prevalence and the risk factors of fungal sepsis in 25 neonatal intensive care units (NICU) among preterm infants in China, and to provide a basis for preventive strategies of fungal sepsis. Methods: This was a second-analysis of the data from the "reduction of infection in neonatal intensive care units using the evidence-based practice for improving quality" study. The current status of fungal sepsis of the 24 731 preterm infants with the gestational age of <34+0 weeks, who were admitted to 25 participating NICU within 7 days of birth between May 2015 and April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. These preterm infants were divided into the fungal sepsis group and the without fungal sepsis group according to whether they developed fungal sepsis to analyze the incidences and the microbiology of fungal sepsis. Chi-square test was used to compare the incidences of fungal sepsis in preterm infants with different gestational ages and birth weights and in different NICU. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to study the outcomes of preterm infants with fungal sepsis, which were further compared with those of preterm infants without fungal sepsis. The 144 preterm infants in the fungal sepsis group were matched with 288 preterm infants in the non-fungal sepsis group by propensity score-matched method. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of fungal sepsis. Results: In all, 166 (0.7%) of the 24 731 preterm infants developed fungal sepsis, with the gestational age of (29.7±2.0) weeks and the birth weight of (1 300±293) g. The incidence of fungal sepsis increased with decreasing gestational age and birth weight (both P<0.001). The preterm infants with gestational age of <32 weeks accounted for 87.3% (145/166). The incidence of fungal sepsis was 1.0% (117/11 438) in very preterm infants and 2.0% (28/1 401) in extremely preterm infants, and was 1.3% (103/8 060) in very low birth weight infants and 1.7% (21/1 211) in extremely low birth weight infants, respectively. There was no fungal sepsis in 3 NICU, and the incidences in the other 22 NICU ranged from 0.7% (10/1 397) to 2.9% (21/724), with significant statistical difference (P<0.001). The pathogens were mainly Candida (150/166, 90.4%), including 59 cases of Candida albicans and 91 cases of non-Candida albicans, of which Candida parapsilosis was the most common (41 cases). Fungal sepsis was independently associated with increased risk of moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (adjusted OR 1.52, 95%CI 1.04-2.22, P=0.030) and severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (adjusted OR 2.55, 95%CI 1.12-5.80, P=0.025). Previous broad spectrum antibiotics exposure (adjusted OR=2.50, 95%CI 1.50-4.17, P<0.001), prolonged use of central line (adjusted OR=1.05, 95%CI 1.03-1.08, P<0.001) and previous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) duration (adjusted OR=1.04, 95%CI 1.02-1.06, P<0.001) were all independently associated with increasing risk of fungal sepsis. Conclusions: Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis are the main pathogens of fungal sepsis among preterm infants in Chinese NICU. Preterm infants with fungal sepsis are at increased risk of moderate to severe BPD and severe ROP. Previous broad spectrum antibiotics exposure, prolonged use of central line and prolonged duration of TPN will increase the risk of fungal sepsis. Ongoing initiatives are needed to reduce fungal sepsis based on these risk factors.

Abstract
Engineering surface chemistry to precisely control interfacial interactions is crucial for fabricating superior antifouling coatings and separation membranes. Here, we present a hydrophobic chain engineering strategy to regulate membrane surface at a molecular scale. Hydrophilic phytic acid and hydrophobic perfluorocarboxylic acids are sequentially assembled on a graphene oxide membrane to form an amphiphilic surface. The surface energy is reduced by the introduction of the perfluoroalkyl chains while the surface hydration can be tuned by changing the hydrophobic chain length, thus synergistically optimizing both fouling-resistance and fouling-release properties. It is found that the surface hydration capacity changes nonlinearly as the perfluoroalkyl chain length increases from C4 to C10, reaching the highest at C6 as a result of the more uniform water orientation as demonstrated by molecular dynamics simulations. The as-prepared membrane exhibits superior antifouling efficacy (flux decline ratio <10%, flux recovery ratio ~100%) even at high permeance (~620 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) for oil-water separation.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the interventional effects of music therapy on pain and anxiety of burn patients in wound dressing change. Methods: The meta-analysis method was adopted. Databases including China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang Database, and VIP database were retrieved with the search terms in Chinese version of ", , /, /", and PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were retrieved with the search terms in English version of "music, burn, dressing change/wound dressing, pain/ache/sore" to obtain the publicly published randomized controlled trials on the application of music therapy for wound dressing change in burn patients from the establishment of each database to May 2021. The outcome indexes included pain score/percentage and anxiety score after dressing change. Rev Man 5.4 and Stata 14.0 statistical software were used to conduct a meta-analysis of eligible studies. Results: A total of 520 burn patients from 7 studies were included, including 260 patients in music therapy group who received music therapy and 260 patients in routine dressing change group who received routine dressing change. The bias risk of all the 7 included studies was uncertain. Compared with those in routine dressing change group, the pain percentages (relative risk=0.06, 95% confidence interval=0.01-0.41, P<0.01) and pain scores after dressing change (standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.91, 95% confidence interval=-1.61--0.22, P<0.05) of patients in music therapy group were significantly lower. Subgroup analysis showed that music type and timing of intervention might be the source of heterogeneity in pain scores after dressing change. The anxiety scores of patients in music therapy group were significantly lower than those in routine dressing change group (SMD=-0.64, 95% confidence interval=-1.09--0.19, P<0.01). There was no publication bias in pain or anxiety scores after dressing change. Conclusions: Music therapy can relieve the pain and anxiety of burn patients during dressing change.

Abstract
The interplay between various symmetries and electronic bands topology is one of the core issues for topological quantum materials. Spontaneous magnetism, which leads to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry, has been proven to be a powerful approach to trigger various exotic topological phases. In this Letter, utilizing the combination of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy, and first-principles calculations, we present the direct evidence on the realization of the long-sought spontaneous ferromagnetism induced topological transition in soft ferromagnetic EuB_{6}. Explicitly, we reveal the topological transition is from Z_{2}=1 topological insulator in paramagnetic state to χ=1 magnetic topological semimetal in low temperature ferromagnetic state. Our results demonstrate that the simple band structure near the Fermi level and rich topological phases make EuB_{6} an ideal platform to study the topological phase physics.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Recent research reported that lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with more in-hospital bleeding in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, the association between lower LDL-C levels and long-term bleeding in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients remains unclear.
Methods
A total of 10724 patients treated with PCI enrolled in ourhospital from January 2013 to December 2013. The primary endpoint was the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2, 3 or 5 bleeding at 5 years. The secondary endpoint was intracranial hemorrhage. Taking the LDL-C value of 1.8 mmol/L (70 mg/dL) or 1.4 mmol/L (55 mg/dL) as cut-off points, patients were grouped to analyse, respectively.
Results
Among 9697 PCI patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy finally enrolled, a total of 411 BARC type 2, 3 or 5 bleedings and 42 intracranial hemorrhage were recorded during a follow-up of 5 years. With LDL-C value of 1.8 mmol/L as cut-off point, multivariate Cox regression showed that lower LDL-C level was not associated with the risk for bleeding [hazard ratio (HR): 1.166, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.879–1.549]. The result was consistent (HR: 1.185; 95% CI: 0.713–1.968) in a 1:4 propensity-score matching cohort (n=1285). For further study, we performed subgroup analysis which showed that lower LDL-C was not associated with the risk for bleeding in ACS (HR: 1.140; 95% CI: 0.846–1.535) or non-ACS patients (HR: 1.284; 95% CI: 0.909–1.813). With LDL-C value of 1.4 mmol/L as cut-off point, Cox regression showed that lower LDL-C level was not associated with the risk for bleeding in total population, ACS or non-ACS patients (P>0.05). The result was consistent in a 1:4 propensity-score matching cohort (n=760) (P>0.05). As for secondary endpoint, lower LDL-C level was not associated with the risk for intracranial hemorrhage whether the LDL-C value is 1.8 or 1.4 mmol/L as the cut-off point (P>0.05).
Conclusions
To the best of our knowledge, we firstly report lower LDL-C level (whether the LDL-C value is 1.8 or 1.4 mmol/L as the cut-off point) was not the independent risk factor of long-term bleeding in PCI population and ACS or non-ACS subgroup populations.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Metformin use has been associated with reduced incidence of dementia in diabetic individuals in observational studies. However, the causality between the two in the general population is unclear. This study uses Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate the causal effect of metformin targets on Alzheimer's disease and potential causal mechanisms in the brain linking the two. METHODS Genetic proxies for the effects of metformin drug targets were identified as variants in the gene for the corresponding target that associated with HbA1c level (N=344,182) and expression level of the corresponding gene (N≤31,684). The cognitive outcomes were derived from genome-wide association studies comprising 527,138 middle-aged Europeans, including 71,880 with Alzheimer's disease or Alzheimer's disease-by-proxy. MR estimates representing lifelong metformin use on Alzheimer's disease and cognitive function in the general population were generated. Effect of expression level of 22 metformin-related genes in brain cortex (N=6601 donors) on Alzheimer's disease was further estimated. RESULTS Genetically proxied metformin use, equivalent to a 6.75 mmol/mol (1.09%) reduction on HbA1c, was associated with 4% lower odds of Alzheimer's disease (OR 0.96 [95% CI 0.95, 0.98], p=1.06×10-4) in non-diabetic individuals. One metformin target, mitochondrial complex 1 (MCI), showed a robust effect on Alzheimer's disease (OR 0.88, p=4.73×10-4) that was independent of AMP-activated protein kinase. MR of expression in brain cortex tissue showed that decreased MCI-related gene (NDUFA2) expression was associated with lower Alzheimer's disease risk (OR 0.95, p=4.64×10-4) and favourable cognitive function. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Metformin use may cause reduced Alzheimer's disease risk in the general population. Mitochondrial function and the NDUFA2 gene are plausible mechanisms of action in dementia protection.

Abstract
Controllable ion transport through nanochannels is crucial for biological and artificial membrane systems. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with regular and tunable nanochannels are emerging as an ideal material platform to develop synthetic membranes for ion transport. However, ion exclusion by COF membranes remains challenging because most COF materials have large-sized nanochannels leading to nonselective transport of small ions. Here we develop ionic COF membranes (iCOFMs) to control ion transport through charged framework nanochannels, the interior surfaces of which are covered with arrayed sulfonate groups to render superior charge density. The overlap of an electrical double layer in charged nanochannels blocks the entry of co-ions, narrows their passageways, and concomitantly restrains the permeation of counterions via the charge balance. These highly charged large-sized nanochannels within the iCOFM enable ion exclusion while maintaining intrinsically high water permeability. Our results reveal possibilities for controllable ion transport based on COF membranes for water purification, ionic separation, sensing, and energy conversion.

Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, a unique process for the production of methyl anthranilate (MA) was investigated. The factors of the phthalimide/sodium hypochlorite/methanol molar ratio, reaction temperature, hydrolysis temperature, and water consumption on the yield and purity of MA were analyzed. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize conditions for the semi-batch synthesis process of MA. The best synthetic conditions for the formation of MA were reaction temperature 0.5 °C, hydrolysis temperature 70 °C and n(phthalimide)/n(sodium hypochlorite)/n(methanol) = 1:2.03:5.87, and water consumption m(H2O)/m(phthalimide) = 7.16:1. The yield of MA could reach 90% under the optimal conditions, which is more than 10% higher than that of the previous semi-batch process. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism was investigated by infrared spectroscopy analysis, and the mechanism of ester group formation and the structure of intermediate products are proposed. The byproduct of the reaction was studied by GC-MS analysis, a byproduct called 2-cyanobenzoic acid has been discovered. Therefore, an unprecedented reaction mechanism of the whole synthesis process is proposed.

Abstract
The plant IQD gene family is responsive to a variety of stresses. In this study, we studied the structural features and functions of the gene BrIQD35 in Chinese cabbage, a member of the IQD gene family. BrIQD35 was cloned and shown to contain an IQ motif. Transient expression of BrIQD35 indicated that it was localized on the plasma membrane and was significantly upregulated under drought and salt stress in Chinese cabbage. To further identify the function of BrIQD35, it was heterologously overexpressed in Nicotiana benthamiana. Although there was no significant difference between BrIQD35-overexpressed and wild-type (WT) plants under salt stress, WT N. benthamiana showed more wilting than the BrIQD35-overexpressed plants under drought stress. Since the IQ motif has been annotated as a CaM binding site, yeast two-hybrid assays were used to explore the interaction between BrIQD35 and CaM. The results indicated that BrIQD35 interacts weakly with CaMb, but not with CaMa, suggesting that BrIQD35 may function through the Ca2+ -CaMb pathway. The findings reveal a novel gene involved in drought tolerance, which is important for plant breeding and quality improvement for Chinese cabbage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the pooled diagnostic accuracy of the currently available esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) screening tests. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of Embase and Medline (up to October 31, 2020) was performed to identify eligible studies. We pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio for ESCC screening tools using a bivariate random-effects model. The summary receiver operating characteristic curves with area under the curve (AUC) were plotted for each screening test. RESULTS We included 161 studies conducted in 81 research articles involving 32,209 subjects. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of the major screening tools were respectively as follows: endoscopy (peroral endoscopy): .94 (95% confidence interval [CI], .87-.97), .92 (95% CI, .87-.95), and .97 (95% CI, .96-.99); endoscopy (transnasal endoscopy): .85 (95% CI, .70-.93), .96 (95% CI, .91-.98), and .97 (95% CI, .95-.98); microRNA: .77 (95% CI, .75-.80), .78 (95% CI, .75-.80), and .85 (95% CI, .81-.87); autoantibody: .45 (95% CI, .36-.53), .91 (95% CI, .89-.93), and .84 (95% CI, .81-.87); and cytology: .82 (95% CI, .60-.93), .97 (95% CI, .88-.99), and .97 (95% CI, .95-.98). There was high heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The diagnostic accuracy seemed to be comparable between cytology and endoscopy, whereas autoantibody and microRNAs bear potential as future noninvasive screening tools for ESCC. To reduce ESCC-related death in high-risk populations, it is important to develop a more accurate and less-invasive screening test.

Abstract
Background Improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is becoming a major focus of old age care and social policy. Researchers have been increasingly examining subjective social status (SSS), one’s self-perceived social position, as a predictor of various health conditions. SSS encompasses not only concrete socio-economic (SES) factors but also intangible aspects of status. This study’s main objective was to examine the association between SSS and long-term change in HRQOL in older Chinese adults. Methods A longitudinal Hong Kong study recruited 2934 community-dwelling adults (age > 65 years). Participants completed SF-12 physical health (PCS) and mental health (MCS) HRQOL scales. This study analyzed baseline SSS-Society (self-perceived social status within Hong Kong) and SSS-Community (self-perceived status within one’s own social network) as predictors of long-term HRQOL decline. After stratifying for sex, multiple-linear-regression was performed on 4-year follow-up SF-12 PCS and MCS scores after adjusting for baseline SF-12 scores, traditional SES indicators, demographic variables, clinical conditions, and lifestyle variables. Results In the multivariable analyses, lower SSS-Society was associated with declines in MCS in males (βstandardized = 0.08, p = 0.001) and declines in PCS (βstandardized = 0.07, p = 0.006) and MCS (βstandardized = 0.12, p < 0.001) in females. SSS-Community was associated with declines in PCS in males (βstandardized = 0.07, p = 0.005) and MCS in females (βstandardized = 0.14, p < 0.001). Conclusions SSS may be a useful supplementary tool for predicting risk of long-term HRQOL decline in older Chinese adults. Strategies to reduce perceived social inequalities may improve HRQOL in older adults.

Abstract
A patient complained of ophthalmology with poor vision in both eyes for more than 30 years and aggravation for more than 2 years. The central anterior lens capsule was found to have a conical protrusion under a slit-lamp microscope after pupil dilation in both eyes. The diagnosis was bilateral cataract and congenital anterior lenticonus. Phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation was performed. The visual acuity in both eyes was significantly better after surgery.

Abstract
Organics separation for purifying and recycling environment-detrimental solvents is essential to sustainable chemical industries. Covalent organic framework (COF) membranes hold great promise in affording precise and fast organics separation. Nonetheless, how to well coordinate facile processing—high crystalline structure—high separation performance remains a critical issue and a grand challenge. Herein, we propose a concept of heterocrystalline membrane which comprises high-crystalline regions and low-crystalline regions. The heterocrystalline COF membranes are fabricated by a two-step procedure, i.e., dark reaction for the construction of high-crystalline regions followed by photo reaction for the construction of low-crystalline regions, thus linking the high-crystalline regions tightly and flexibly, blocking the defect in high-crystalline regions. Accordingly, the COF membrane exhibits sharp molecular sieving properties with high organic solvent permeance up to 44-times higher than the state-of-the-art membranes. Covalent organic frameworks (COF) hold great promise in filtration and separation but combining facile processing, high crystallinity and high separation performance remains challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate that heterocrystalline COF membranes in which high-crystalline regions are tightly linked by low-crystalline regions can improve molecular sieving properties at high solvent flux.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disclosure of sexual orientation to others (outness) might be associated with sexual and mental health among gay and bisexual men (GBM) attending university. We aimed to characterise outness and investigate factors correlated with outness among GBM attending university in China. METHODS Between September 2018 and March 2019, GBM attending university were recruited in six cities in China. Information on sociodemographic characteristics, outness and sexual behaviours were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Each participant was tested for HIV/STIs. Correlates of outness were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 400 GBM attending university were recruited, of whom 251 (62.8%) had disclosed their sexual orientation. Men who served as student leaders (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.28, 95% CI: 1.46-3.54) and donated blood (AOR 1.85, 95% CI: 1.05-3.24) were more likely to disclose their sexual orientation, whereas men who had sex with a female (AOR 0.19, 95% CI: 0.05-0.74) and had group sex (AOR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.30-0.89) were less likely to disclose their sexual orientation. Mental health status, HIV/STI infections were not associated with outness. CONCLUSIONS GBM attending university who disclosed their sexual orientation were more likely to be involved with student work and less likely to engage in high-risk sexual behaviours. More attention and education could focus on non-disclosing GBM men attending university through peer education or other ways.

Abstract
Fabrication of covalent organic framework (COF) membranes for molecular transport has excited highly pragmatic interest as a low energy and cost-effective route for molecular separations. However, currently, most COF membranes are assembled via a one-step procedure in liquid phase(s) by concurrent polymerization and crystallization, which are often accompanied by a loosely packed and less ordered structure. Herein, we propose a two-step procedure via a phase switching strategy, which decouples the polymerization process and the crystallization process to assemble compact and highly crystalline COF membranes. In the pre-assembly step, the mixed monomer solution is casted into a pristine membrane in the liquid phase, along with the completion of polymerization process. In the assembly step, the pristine membrane is transformed into a COF membrane in the vapour phase of solvent and catalyst, along with the completion of crystallization process. Owing to the compact and highly crystalline structure, the resultant COF membranes exhibit an unprecedented permeance (water ≈ 403 L m-2 bar-1 h-1 and acetonitrile ≈ 519 L m-2 bar-1 h-1). Our two-step procedure via phase switching strategy can open up a new avenue to the fabrication of advanced organic crystalline microporous membranes.

Abstract
Background For patients taking esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), sedation should ideally be used individually based on patients’ comfort and tolerance level. However, currently there is no valid predictive tool. We undertook this study to develop and temporally validate a self-assessment tool for predicting discomfort and tolerance in Chinese patients undergoing EGD. Methods We recruited 1522 patients undergoing routine diagnostic EGD without sedation. We collected candidate predictor variables before endoscopy and evaluated discomfort and tolerance with a 5-point visual analogue scale after the procedure. We developed logistic regression predictive models based on the first 2/3 of participants, and evaluated the calibration and discrimination of the models in the later 1/3 of patients. Results 30.2% and 23.0% participants reported severe discomfort or poor tolerance to EGD respectively. The predictive factors in the model for discomfort included sex, education, expected level of discomfort, and anxiety before endoscopy. The model for tolerance included income, expected level of discomfort, and anxiety before endoscopy. In the validation population, the established models showed a moderate discriminative ability with a c-index of 0.74 for discomfort and 0.78 for tolerance. Hosmer–Lemeshow test suggested the models had fine calibration ability (discomfort: P = 0.37, tolerance: P = 0.41). Conclusions Equations for predicting discomfort and tolerance in Chinese patients undergoing EGD demonstrated moderate discrimination and variable calibration. Further studies are still required to validate these tools in other population. Trial registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1800020236).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an established treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones. Post- ERCP cholecystitis (PEC) is a known complication of such procedure and there are no effective models and clinical applicable tools for PEC prediction. METHODS A random forest (RF) machine learning model was developed to predict PEC. Eligible patients at The First Hospital of Lanzhou University in China with common bile duct (CBD) stones and gallbladders in-situ were enrolled from 2010 to 2019. Logistic regression analysis was used to compare the predictive discrimination and accuracy values based on receiver operation characteristics (ROC) curve and decision and clinical impact curve. The RF model was further validated by another 117 patients. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04234126. FINDINGS A total of 1117 patients were enrolled (90 PEC, 8.06%) to build the predictive model for PEC. The RF method identified white blood cell (WBC) count, endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (EPBD), increase in WBC, residual CBD stones after ERCP, serum amylase levels, and mechanical lithotripsy as the top six predictive factors and has a sensitivity of 0.822, specificity of 0.853 and accuracy of 0.855, with the area under curve (AUC) value of 0.890. A separate logistic regression prediction model was built with sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 0.811, 0.791, and 0.864, respectively. An additional 117 patients (11 PEC, 9.40%) were used to validate the RF model, with an AUC of 0.889 compared to an AUC of 0.884 with the logistic regression model. INTERPRETATION The results suggest that the proposed RF model based on the top six PEC risk factors could be a promising tool to predict the occurrence of PEC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cirrhosis is a major global health burden worldwide due to its high risk of morbidity and mortality. Role of terlipressin for the management of liver cirrhosis-related complications has been recognized during recent years. This article aims to develop evidence-based clinical practice guidance on the use of terlipressin for liver cirrhosis-related complications. METHODS Hepatobiliary Study Group of the Chinese Society of Gastroenterology of the Chinese Medical Association and Hepatology Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association have invited gastroenterologists, hepatologists, infectious disease specialists, surgeons, and clinical pharmacists to formulate the clinical practice guidance based on comprehensive literature review and experts' clinical experiences. RESULTS Overall, 10 major guidance statements regarding efficacy and safety of terlipressin in liver cirrhosis were proposed. Terlipressin can be beneficial for the management of cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). However, the evidence regarding the use of terlipressin in cirrhotic patients with ascites, post-paracentesis circulatory dysfunction, and bacterial infections and in those undergoing hepatic resection and liver transplantation remains insufficient. Terlipressin-related adverse events, mainly including gastrointestinal symptoms, electrolyte disturbance, and cardiovascular and respiratory adverse events, should be closely monitored. CONCLUSION The current clinical practice guidance supports the use of terlipressin for gastroesophageal variceal bleeding and HRS in liver cirrhosis. High-quality studies are needed to further clarify its potential effects in other liver cirrhosis-related complications.

Background
Inflammation plays a crucial role in coronary atherosclerosis progression, and growing evidence has demonstrated that the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio index (FAR) is associated with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the long-term risk of cardiovascular events remains indistinct in patients with different level of FAR and different glycemic metabolism status. This study was to access 5-year clinical outcomes of diabetic and non-diabetic patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with different level of FAR.
Methods
We consecutively enrolled 10,724 patients with CAD hospitalized for PCI and followed up for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) covering all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke and unplanned coronary revascularization. FAR was computed using the following formula: Fibrinogen (mg/dL) / Albumin (g/L). According to the optimal cut-off value of FAR, which was determined by the surv_cutpoint function of the R package survminer via RStudio software (version 2021.09.0), patients were divided into higher level of FAR (FAR-H) and lower level of (FAR-L) subgroups, and were further categorized into for groups as FAR-H with DM and non-DM, and FAR-L with DM and non-DM.
Results
5,298 patients (58.36 ± 10.36 years, 77.7% male) were ultimately enrolled in the present study. A total of 1,099 (20.7%) MACCEs were documented during the 5-year follow-up. The optimal cut-off value of FAR was 0.0783 by the surv_cutpoint function. Compared to ones with FAR-H and DM, patients with FAR-L and non-DM, FAR-H and non-DM, FAR-L and DM had decreased risk of MACCEs [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.64-0.89, p = 0.001; HR: 0.006, 95% CI 0.66-0.93, p = 0.006; HR: 0.81, 95% CI 0.68-0.97, p = 0.019]. Notably, non-diabetic patients with lower level of FAR also had lower all-cause mortality risk than those in the FAR-H/DM group (HR: 0.41, 95% CI 0.27-0.63, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis also indicated the highest risk of MACCEs in patients with FAR-H and DM than others (p for trend = 0.005). In addition, subgroup analysis revealed consistent effects on 5-year MACCE across various subgroups.
Conclusion
Diabetic patients with higher level of FAR had the worse 5-year outcomes compared with patients in other three groups. The level of FAR may help to identify high-risk individuals in this specific population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Emerging studies have suggested a strong link between Crohn's disease (CD) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN), but the underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. This led us to explore the common pathogenic genes for the two diseases by originally applying a bioinformatic method. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CD and IgAN datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the two diseases were identified. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses for the common DEGs were further performed. Then, PPI networks were constructed to identify the hub genes. Afterwards, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to assess the diagnostic value of the hub genes. Finally, the immune infiltrations in the samples were analyzed and the correlation of the hub genes with the immune infiltration was studied. RESULTS 47 common DEGs were identified between CD and IgAN with the threshold of p-value < 0.05 and |log2FC| > 1. The top 5 GO terms and 5 KEGG pathways were displayed, and the top 10 hub genes were selected. The diagnostic value of these hub genes was evaluated by calculating the area under the ROC curves. Among the hub genes, CXCL2 was not only identified as the common hub gene, but also with the highest diagnostic value. Finally, CXCL2 was verified to be crucially correlated with the immune infiltration in the samples of CD and IgAN. CONCLUSIONS Our study identified critical pathogenic genes commonly responsible for the pathogenesis of CD and IgAN, which provided novel biomarkers and promising therapeutic targets for the two diseases. Further experimental and clinical research are needed to verify our results.

Abstract
National and international recommendations of healthy body mass index (BMI) are primarily based on evidence in young and middle-aged populations, with an insufficient representation of the oldest old (aged ≥80 years). Here, we report associations between BMI and mortality risk in 27,026 community-dwelling oldest old (mean age, 92.7 ± 7.5 years) in China from 1998 to 2018. Nonlinear curves showed reverse J-shaped associations of BMI with cardiovascular disease (CVD), non-CVD and all-cause mortality, with a monotonic decreased risk up to BMIs in the overweight and mild obesity range and flat hazard ratios thereafter. Compared to normal weight, overweight and obesity were significantly associated with decreased non-CVD and all-cause mortality, but not with CVD mortality. Similar associations were found for waist circumference. Our results lend support to the notion that optimal BMI in the oldest old may be around the overweight or mild obesity range and challenge the application of international and national guidelines on optimal BMI in this age group.

Abstract
Ultrathin membranes are at the forefront of membrane research, offering great opportunities in revolutionizing separations with ultrafast transport. Driven by advanced nanomaterials and manufacturing technology, tremendous progresses are made over the last 15 years in the fabrications and applications of sub-50 nm membranes. Here, an overview of state-of-the-art ultrathin membranes is first introduced, followed by a summary of the fabrication techniques with an emphasis on how to realize such extremely low thickness. Then, different types of ultrathin membranes, categorized based on their structures, that is, network, laminar, or framework structures, are discussed with a focus on the interplays among structure, fabrication methods, and separation performances. Recent research and development trends are highlighted. Meanwhile, the performances and applications of current ultrathin membranes for representative separations (gas separation and liquid separation) are thoroughly analyzed and compared. Last, the challenges in material design, structure construction, and coordination are given, in order to fully realize the potential of ultrathin membranes and facilitate the translation from scientific achievements to industrial productions.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore the risk factors associated with septic cardiomyopathy and establish a predictive model of the disease based on left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS). Methods: Data from sepsis patients without a history of cardiac dysfunction who were treated in the Critical Care Department of the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from September, 2019 to January, 2021 were included in the analysis. The LV GLS was measured by echocardiography within 72 hours and the patients were divided into a septic myocardiopathy group (LV GLS>-17%) and a normal cardiac function group (LV GLS≤-17%). Clinical data from two groups of patients were collected for univariate analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the factors that were statistically different were drawn for exploring the diagnostic and cut-off values. The continuous variable was converted to a dichotomous variable according to the cut-off value. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of sepsis cardiomyopathy was performed to screen the risk factors and create a predictive model. The predictive model was evaluated by ROC curve analysis and the Bootstrap method and shown as a nomograph. Results: Patients in the sepsis cardiomyopathy group had higher levels of high sensitive troponin I (Hs-TnI), procalcitonin (PCT), lactate (Lac), N-terminal pro-brain atriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), vasopressor dosing intensity (VDI) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) when compared to those in the normal cardiac function group (all P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Hs-TnI≥0.131 μg/L (OR=6.71, 95%CI:2.67-16.88, P<0.001), PCT≥40 μg/L (OR=3.08, 95%CI:1.10-8.59, P=0.032), Lac≥4.2 mmol/L (OR=2.80, 95%CI:1.02-7.69, P=0.045), NT-proBNP≥3 270 ng/L (OR=2.67, 95%CI:1.06-6.74, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for septic myocardiopathy. The area under the ROC curve of the predictive model based on the four indexes up-mentioned was 0.838 (95%CI:0.766-0.910), and the C-index was 0.822 (95%CI:0.750-0.894) which indicated the utility of the nomogram. The model had a good predictive ability, accuracy and discrimination. Conclusions: Hs-TnI≥0.131 μg/L, PCT≥40 μg/L, Lac≥4.2 mmol/L and NT-proBNP≥3 270 ng/L are independent risk factors for septic myocardiopathy, and the septic cardiomyopathy predictive model constructed based on these factors has a good diagnostic performance.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the interactive effect of hypoparathyroidism (HPTH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all PD patients who were firstly catheterized in the peritoneal dialysis center of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2018 were included. The characteristics of demographics, baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected, and patients were followed up until December 31, 2020. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression analysis were used to explore the associations between the interaction of HPTH+T2DM and peritonitis. Results: A total of 270 PD patients were enrolled in this study, aged (39.9±13.2) years, including 143 males and 24 T2DM patients. These serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) [M(Q1, Q3)] was 268.1 (121.7, 447.0)pg/ml. After a median follow-up of 29.5 (range from 4.0 to 75.0) months, peritonitis occurred in 69 (25.6%) PD patients for the first time. After controlling for confounding factors, the interaction analysis showed that the risk of peritonitis in T2DM patients with HPTH (n=12) was 3.48 times that of non-T2DM patients without HPTH (n=180) (HR=3.48, 95%CI: 1.04-3.87, P=0.034), which was also greater than the sum of the factors alone (HR=1.35, 95%CI: 0.78-2.31 and HR=0.82, 95%CI: 0.20-3.40). The synergy index between HPTH and T2DM was 1.95, the attributable proportion of interaction was 67.6%, and the relative excess risk of interaction was 2.35. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated that the area under the curve of combined diagnosis of HPTH and T2DM was 0.626 (95%CI: 0.550-0.703, P=0.039). Conclusion: The positive interaction between HPTH and T2DM is an independent risk factor for peritonitis in PD patients, both of which can significantly increase the risk of peritonitis.

Abstract
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination together with good compliance with personal preventive measures may help eradicate the ongoing pandemic. This observational prospective cohort study investigated the changes in compliance with personal preventive measures, depressive symptoms, and sleep quality among factory workers within a 3-month follow-up period. A total of 663 workers were recruited by a stratified multi-stage cluster sampling in March 2020, and all of them completed a follow-up survey three months later. Multilevel logistic and linear regression models (level 1: factories; level 2: individual participants) were fitted. A significant decline was observed in consistent facemask wearing in workplace (from 98.0 to 90.3%, P < 0.001) and in other public spaces (from 97.1 to 94.4%, P = 0.02), sanitizing hands (from 70.9 to 48.0%, P < 0.001), household disinfection (from 47.7 to 37.9%, P < 0.001) and probable depression (from 14.9 to 1.5%, P < 0.001) over the follow-up period. A significant improvement in avoiding crowded places (from 69.8 to 77.4%, P = 0.002) and sleep quality (proportion of participants reporting poor sleep quality dropped from 3.9 to 1.2%, P = 0.002) was also observed. Efforts are needed to maintain compliance with personal preventive measures during the pandemic. Mental health problems were uncommon and likely to be one-off among Chinese factory workers.

Abstract
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are flashes of unknown physical origin1. The majority of FRBs have been seen only once, although some are known to generate multiple flashes2,3. Many models invoke magnetically powered neutron stars (magnetars) as the source of the emission4,5. Recently, the discovery6 of another repeater (FRB 20200120E) was announced, in the direction of the nearby galaxy M81, with four potential counterparts at other wavelengths6. Here we report observations that localized the FRB to a globular cluster associated with M81, where it is 2 parsecs away from the optical centre of the cluster. Globular clusters host old stellar populations, challenging FRB models that invoke young magnetars formed in a core-collapse supernova. We propose instead that FRB 20200120E originates from a highly magnetized neutron star formed either through the accretion-induced collapse of a white dwarf, or the merger of compact stars in a binary system7. Compact binaries are efficiently formed inside globular clusters, so a model invoking them could also be responsible for the observed bursts.

Abstract
Background: Gastric acid suppressants have a major impact on gut microbiome which in turn, may increase the risk of cholelithiasis, but epidemiological evidence remains unclear. We undertook this research to evaluate the association between regular use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) with risk of cholelithiasis. Methods: Prospective cohort study included 477,293 UK residents aged 37–73 years from the UK Biobank. We included the participants reported PPI or H2RA use, and were free of cholelithiasis or cancer. We evaluated hazard ratios (HRs) of regular use of PPIs or H2RAs and risk of cholelithiasis adjusting for demographic factors, lifestyle habits, the presence of comorbidities, use of other medications, and clinical indications. Results: We identified 12,870 cases of cholelithiasis over a median follow-up of 8.1 years. Regular use of PPIs (HR 1.22 95% CI 1.16–1.29) or H2RAs (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.05–1.28) was associated with an increased risk of cholelithiasis after confounding adjustment. There were no major differences among individual PPIs/H2RAs. The absolute risk of PPI-associated cholelithiasis was increased with the baseline predicted risk evaluated by known environmental and genetic risk factors (Risk differences in the lowest vs. the highest quartile: 1.37 vs. 4.29 per 1,000 person-years). Conclusion: Regular use of PPIs and H2RAs was associated with increased risk of cholelithiasis. Future prospective studies are required to confirm whether the observed associations are casual.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia and dysphagia in nursing homes and to analyze the associations between sarcopenic parameters and dysphagia. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Nursing homes in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. PARTICIPANTS The study included 365 participants (122 men and 243 women) aged 60 years or older who could walk independently or with walking aids for at least 50 meters. MEASUREMENTS Dysphagia was defined by the water swallow test and sarcopenia and its components were evaluated by the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia, 2019. The values and percentages of sarcopenia associated parameters in relation to dysphagia were analyzed in both male and female residents. The Benjamini-Hochberg method was used to adjust for multiple comparisons. The relationship between sarcopenic components and dysphagia was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analysis by sex. RESULTS A total of 365 residents (mean age: 84.28 years; 122 men and 243 women) were included in the study. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 63.0% (n=230) and dysphagia in 75.3% (n = 275) of residents. For men, the percentage of sarcopenia was higher in residents with dysphagia. However, the sarcopenia percentage did not differ significantly between women with and without dysphagia. In both men and women, the handgrip strength (HGS) values were significantly lower in the dysphagic residents. The calf circumference (CC) value and appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) were significantly lower in dysphagic men, while the SARC-CalF scores were higher. In women, the SPPB score was lower in residents with dysphagia. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low calf circumference (OR 4.415, 95% CI 1.561-12.490) and sarcopenia (OR 2.968, 95% CI 1.121-7.858) were significantly associated with dysphagia in men after adjusting for co-factors. CONCLUSION There is a high percentage of both dysphagia and sarcopenia in nursing home residents in West China. Low calf circumference and sarcopenia had strong associations with dysphagia among male nursing home residents.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components have been shown as risk factors for several solid cancers. However, current epidemiological evidence about the relevance of MetS and bladder cancer risk was limited. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study of 476,986 participants with undiagnosed bladder cancer based on the UK Biobank. MetS was defined as the presence of at least three of the five selected indicators: hypertension, central obesity, raised triglyceride, reduced HDL-cholesterol, and raised fasting plasma glucose. Bladder cancer has been identified through contact with the British Cancer Registry (median follow-up time: 6.6 years). We assessed hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) through Cox proportional hazard regression after adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors. Non-linear associations for individual MetS components were assessed by the restricted cubic spline method. Results During a follow-up of 3,112,566 person-years, 487 cases of bladder cancer were ascertained. MetS (HR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.08-1.61), central obesity (HR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.15-1.68), dyslipidemia for HDL cholesterol (HR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.04-1.66), and hyperglycemia (HR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.16-1.79) were associated with elevated risk of bladder cancer. Bladder cancer risk increased with the number of MetS components. In stratified analyses, MetS showed similar effects in bladder cancer independently with sex, age, cigarette and alcohol use, physical activity, and dietary factors. Higher waist circumference, BMI, fasting blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin were independently associated with increased risk of bladder cancer, with no evidence against non-linearity. Conclusion MetS might be an independent risk factor for bladder cancer. Our findings highlighted the importance of individualized management of MetS components for preventing bladder cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retrospective research partly characterizes the link between antibiotic use and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development. This prospective cohort study may help reassess the association. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We included 133,125 participants from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and NHS II databases. Three groups were established: nonuse, short-term use (1-14 days), and middle- to long-term use (≥15 days) to explore the link. Cox regression model was chosen to evaluate the hazard ratios (HRs) for RA. RESULTS Short-term antibiotic use was not associated with the subsequent risk of RA (adjusted HR = 0.88, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.38-1.38) compared to the no antibiotic use group in the multivariable adjusted model. The age-stratified model showed no sufficient evidence of increased risk in participants with middle- to long-term antibiotic use (HR = 1.32, 95% CI 0.89-1.98). The effect further attenuated to null after controlling for confounding factors (adjusted HR = 1.06, 95% CI 0.42-1.71). CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence of an association between antibiotic use and RA risk. Our findings may reduce potential concerns about increased RA risk among antibiotic users.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to evaluate the updated burden and temporal trends of cancer incidence and mortality in Asian countries. Methodology The data used in this study were retrieved from the Global Cancer Observatory, Cancer Incidence in Five Continents volumes I-XI, and the World Health Organization mortality database. These data were used to calculate the Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC), with a 95% confidence interval (CI) by joinpoint regression analysis to determine the epidemiological trend in the past decade. Results In 2020, the cancer incidence in Asia was 169.1 per 1 00 000, accounting for 49.3% of the global cancer incidence. The most common cancers included lung (13.8%), breast (10.8%) and colorectal (10.6%) cancers. Its mortality was 101.6 per 1 00 000 (58.3% of the global cancer death) with lung (19.2%), liver (10.5%) and stomach (9.9%) cancers being the most common causes of cancer death. The cancer incidence had been increasing in female population, with Korea (AAPC = 5.73, 95% CI [5.30, 6.17], P < .001), Japan (AAPC = 2.67, 95% CI [2.12, 3.23], P < .001) and Kuwait (AAPC = 2.08, 95% CI [.49, 3.69], P = .016) showing the most significant increases in the past decade. The incidence increase was also observed among population aged <40 years old, with Korea (female AAPC = 8.42, 95% CI [7.40, 9.45], P < .001; male AAPC = 5.28, 95% CI [4.23, 6.33], P <.001), China (female AAPC = 2.94, 95% CI [2.07, 3.81], P < .001; male AAPC = 1.37, 95% CI [.57, 2.18], P = .004) and Japan (female AAPC = 2.88, 95% CI [1.88, 3.88], P = .016; male AAPC = 1.59, 95% CI [.40, 2.78], P = .015) showing the most significant increases. However, there was an overall decreasing trend of cancer mortality. Conclusions There was a substantial burden of cancer incidence and mortality in Asia. Although there was a decreasing trend in cancer mortality, its incidence had been increasing especially among female and younger populations. Future studies could be done to further investigate the potential reasons for these epidemiologic trends.

Abstract
Introduction: In addition to lipid-lowering effects, statins might modulate the gut microbiome and alleviate systematic inflammation, which in turn, may have a protective effect against irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The aim of our study was to evaluate the gender-specific association between statin exposure and the risk of IBS. Method: We undertook a prospective analysis based on the United Kingdom Biobank, a large ongoing cohort including 477,293 participants aged 37-73 years. We included participants based on information on their personal statin use and also those free of IBS and cancer at the baseline. We evaluated the gender-specific hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) with Cox proportional hazards regression, adjusting for demographic factors, lifestyle factors, comorbidities, and statin indications. Result: A total of 438,805 participants (206,499 males and 232,306 females) were included in the analysis. Among male participants, the regular use of statins was associated with a decreased risk of IBS (HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.61-0.97). This association persists across multiple sensitivity and subgroup analyses and did not show clear evidence of variance among the major types of statins. We did not find sufficient evidence of the association between the statin use and IBS risk in females (HR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.82-1.16). Conclusion: Our study found that the regular use of statins was associated with a decreased risk of IBS in male participants. Further studies are required to confirm the beneficial effect of statins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have suggested a non-significant increased risk of stroke among proton pump inhibitor (PPI) users, the association has not been confirmed. We evaluated the association between regular use of PPIs and incident stroke and identified population groups at high net risk. METHODS This is a prospective analysis of 492,479 participants free of stroke from the UK biobank. Incident stroke was identified through linkage to hospital admission and death registries using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes (I60, I61, I63, and I64). We evaluated hazard ratios (HRs) adjusting for demographic factors, lifestyle habits, prevalent comorbidities, concomitant use of medications, and indications of PPIs. We assessed the risk differences (RDs) according to the baseline Framingham Stroke Risk Score. In the meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (from 1988 to 1 June 2020) for randomized trials comparing PPIs with other interventions, placebo, or no treatment on stroke risk. Results were combined using a fix-effect meta-analysis (Mantel-Haenszel method). RESULTS We documented 5182 incident strokes over 3,935,030 person-years of follow-up. Regular PPI users had a 16% higher risk of stroke than non-users (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.27). The estimated effect was similar to our meta-analysis of nine RCTs (case/participants 371/26,642; RR 1.22, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.50; quality of evidence: moderate). The absolute effect of PPI use on stroke increased with the baseline Framingham Stroke Risk Score, with an RD of 1.34‰, 3.32‰, 4.83‰, and 6.28‰ over 5 years for the lowest, quartile 2, quartile 3, and the highest quartile, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Regular use of PPIs was associated with an increased risk of stroke, with a higher absolute risk observed in individuals with high baseline stroke risk. Physicians should therefore exercise caution when prescribing PPIs. An assessment of the underlying stoke risk is recommended for individualized use of PPIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Men who have sex with men (MSM), a population bearing the greatest HIV burden in many countries, may also be vulnerable to COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines are essential to containing the pandemic. However, vaccine hesitancy may compromise vaccine coverage. We aimed to understand the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine and factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among HIV-infected MSM in mainland China. METHODS A cross-sectional online survey among HIV-infected MSM was conducted between 13 and 21 February 2021 in mainland China. Variables including demographics, mental health status, HIV characteristics, and knowledge of and attitudes toward COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 vaccine were collected. Chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. RESULTS A total of 1295 participants were included. The median age was 29.3 years (interquartile range [IQR] 25.2-34.0 years). The uptake of COVID-19 vaccine was 8.7%. Two main reasons for receiving vaccines were "regarded vaccination as self-health protection" (67.3%) and "trust in domestic medical technology" (67.3%). Among participants who did not initiate vaccination, concern about side effects (46.4%) and disclosure of HIV infection (38.6%) were top two reasons, and 47.2% had higher vaccine hesitancy. Men who had with high antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.35-0.80), often (0.26, 0.17-0.40) or sometimes (0.46, 0.31-0.67) paid attention to information about the COVID-19 vaccine, preferred domestic vaccines (0.37, 0.24-0.59), thought the pandemic had moderate (0.58, 0.38-0.90) and moderately severe or severe impact (0.54, 0.38-0.78) on immunity, who were waiting for vaccination programs organized at workplace (0.60, 0.44-0.81) and who were unaware of where to get COVID-19 vaccine (0.61, 0.45-0.82) had lower degree of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Men who were concerned about the efficacy (1.72, 1.16-2.54) and side effects (2.44, 1.78-3.35) had higher degree of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. CONCLUSION COVID-19 vaccine uptake among HIV-infected MSM is still suboptimal. Understanding influencing factors of vaccine hesitancy among this group and making tailored measures to alleviate hesitancy would help improve the coverage of COVID-19 vaccination in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have a major impact on gut microbiome and immune function, which in turn, may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our aim in this study was to evaluate PPI use and subsequent risk of IBD and subtypes (ie, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis). METHODS This was a pooled analysis of the Nurses' Health Study (NHS, n = 82,869), NHS II (n = 95,141), and UK Biobank (n = 469,397). We included participants with information on personal use of PPIs and free of IBD or cancer at baseline. We evaluated hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with Cox regression adjusting for lifestyle factors, PPI indications, comorbidities, and other medications. RESULTS We documented 271 cases of IBD (median follow-up, 12 years) in the pooled NHS cohorts and 1419 cases (median follow-up, 8.1 years) in the UK Biobank. For both pooled NHS cohorts and UK Biobank, regular use of PPIs consistently showed a significantly positive association with IBD, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis risk. Combined analyses of 3 cohorts showed that regular PPI users had an increased risk of IBD as compared with nonusers (hazard ratio, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.22-1.65; number needed to harm, 3770; 95% CI, 3668-4369). Direct comparison with H2 receptor antagonist, a less potent acid suppressor, showed that PPI use was also associated with higher IBD risk (hazard ratio, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.16-1.65). CONCLUSIONS Regular use of PPIs was associated with an increased risk of IBD and its subtypes. The findings should be interpreted with caution because the absolute risk was low and the clinical benefits of PPIs are substantial.

Abstract
Starch is the most important energy source in corn-based diets for broiler chickens, however, some proportion of dietary starch may be partially digested, leading to a decrease in feed utilisation. Therefore, supplementing exogenous amylase might be a feasible way to improve the utilisation of dietary starch for poultry. This study investigated the effects of exogenous α-(1,4)-amylase supplementation on the utilisation of corn starch and glucose metabolism in broiler chickens. A total of 560, 4-d-old Arbour Acres plus male broiler chicks were randomly divided into five treatment groups and fed a corn-soybean meal diet supplemented with 0, 400, 600, 800 and 1 200 U/kg α-(1,4)-amylase to evaluate growth. The growth performance, nutrient digestibility coefficients, digestive enzyme activity, glucose transporter transcription and cecal microbiota composition were evaluated in this study. Starch digestibility coefficient showed a quadratic response to α-(1,4)-amylase at 14 d and 42 d (P < 0.05). However, the endogenous α-amylase activity in jejunal content was linearly decreased (P = 0.045). Also, exogenous α-(1,4)-amylase linearly decreased ileal Na+-dependent glucose and galactose transporter 1 mRNA expression at 42 d (P < 0.001). Exogenous α-(1,4)-amylase generated higher insulin and glucagon serum concentrations in fasted birds (P < 0.05) and following re-feeding for 2 h (P < 0.001). BW gain and feed intake were strongly positively correlated with starch digestibility coefficient at both 14 d (r = 0.87) and 42 d (r = 0.91); whereas, the relative weight of the gizzard was weakly negatively correlated with starch digestibility coefficient (r = -0.35). The relative abundance of Unclassified_Bacillaceae was moderately positively correlated (r > 0.50) while Oscillospira, Ornithobacterium and Unclassified_Barnesiellaceae were moderately negatively correlated (-0.50 < r -0.39) with starch digestibility coefficient. In conclusion, exogenous α-amylase modulates metabolic function by increasing insulin and glucagon concentrations, influenced gut microbiota which may impact starch digestibility in the jejunum and ileum. The results of this study showed that excessive addition of exogenous α-(1,4)-amylase was not beneficial for the utilisation of starch in broiler chickens. Supplement more than 600 U/kg α-(1,4)-amylase inhibited glucose transporters, decreases the coefficients of starch and organic matter digestibility in the small intestine to a varying degree, thereby limiting the growth performance of broiler chickens.

Abstract
Because of their high specificity and low side effects, protein drugs possess a substantial global market. However, the low bioavailability of protein is still a major obstacle to their expanded applications, which is expected to be answered with proper protein formulations. Taking corneal neovascularization (CNV) as an example, we demonstrated a co-assembled system of hexa-histidine and Ava (Avastin) with metal ions (HmA@Ava) could cross the cornea, the most important bio-barrier during the treatment of most diseases of the anterior segment in clinics. We found that the nanosized HmA@Ava efficiently encapsulated Ava with impressive loading capacity without destroying the bioactivity of Ava and assisted Ava penetration through the corneal barriers to effectively inhibit CNV development in an alkali burn rat model with sustained and pH-dependent Ava release. Our results suggested that the co-assembled strategy of protein and HmA is a proper formulation to protein drugs, with promising penetration ability to deliver protein across bio-barriers, which could open a path for topical administration of protein drugs for treatment of various ocular diseases and hold enormous potential for delivery of therapeutic proteins not only for ocular diseases but also for other diseases that require protein treatment. HmA@Ava can bring protein drug, Ava, across over the primary bio-barrier of the anterior segment and efficiently treat CNV. HmA@Ava was nanoparticles, with impressive loading capacity without destroying bioactivity of Ava and strong pH-dependent release. HmA can open a path for the treatment of eye diseases and hold huge potential to protein drugs to other diseases.

Abstract
Previous studies on enhancers and their target genes were largely based on bulk samples that represent ‘average’ regulatory activities from a large population of millions of cells, masking the heterogeneity and important effects from the sub-populations. In recent years, single-cell sequencing technology has enabled the profiling of open chromatin accessibility at the single-cell level (scATAC-seq), which can be used to annotate the enhancers and promoters in specific cell types. A comprehensive resource is highly desirable for exploring how the enhancers regulate the target genes at the single-cell level. Hence, we designed a single-cell database scEnhancer (http://enhanceratlas.net/scenhancer/), covering 14 527 776 enhancers and 63 658 600 enhancer-gene interactions from 1 196 906 single cells across 775 tissue/cell types in three species. An unsupervised learning method was employed to sort and combine tens or hundreds of single cells in each tissue/cell type to obtain the consensus enhancers. In addition, we utilized a cis-regulatory network algorithm to identify the enhancer-gene connections. Finally, we provided a user-friendly platform with seven useful modules to search, visualize, and browse the enhancers/genes. This database will facilitate the research community towards a functional analysis of enhancers at the single-cell level.
