Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Can the gas-liquid interface organ culture system that achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice also support in vitro spermatogenesis in human adult testis?
Summary answer
Although the progression of spermatogenesis was not observed, germ cells were maintained without the degeneration of the architecture in both fresh and cryopreserved testicular tissues.
What is known already
Although the research on in vitro spermatogenesis have been conducted for 100 years, only the organ culture system using gas-liquid interface method achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice. It has not been verified whether this culture system can be applied to other mammals including humans and induce spermatogenesis.
Study design, size, duration
Testicular tissue was obtained from the transgender patients receiving sex reassignment surgery. Testicular specimens were either immediately processed for cultivation or cryopreserved, using a vitrification freezing protocol. Organ culture of testicular fragments was performed in three different media for a maximum period of 3 weeks to evaluate the short-term changes in the cultured tissues (viability, proliferation and maintenance of germ and somatic cells).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Fresh and cryopreserved-thawed testis fragments (1–2 mm3) were cultured using the organ culture system in alpha-MEM with knock-out serum replacement (K group), alpha-MEM with lipid-rich BSA (A group) and DMEM with FBS (D group). Luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and testosterone were supplemented. The number of germ cells (using DDX4), proliferative activity of germ cells (using EdU assay) and intratubular cell apoptosis (by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling) were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining weekly.
Main results and the role of chance
The architecture of the seminiferous tubules was maintained until the second week of culture in both the fresh and the cryopreserved culture group. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells per seminiferous tubule in groups D, K, and A was 49 ± 24, 55 ± 21, 50 ± 26 cells/tubule in 1 day, 32 ± 13, 42 ± 7, 36 ± 21 cells/tubule in 1week, respectively. The numbers gradually decreased to 26 ± 8, 24 ± 6 and 27 ± 18 cells/tubule, in 2 weeks, respectively, with no difference among the groups. The number of intratubular EdU-positive cells of groups D, K, and A was 0.2 ± 0.2, 2.8 ± 2.1, 1.1 ± 0.8 cells/tubule at 1 day, 0.1 ± 0.2, 0.5 ± 0.6, 0.3 ± 0.6 cells/tubule at 1 week, respectively. The values were 0.01, 0.05, and 0.03 at 2 weeks. Thus, EdU-positive cells drastically decreased from the first week of culture. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells and the intratubular EdU-positive cells in the cryopreserved culture group was not different from that in the fresh culture group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Current organ culture systems are incomplete, being unable to induce human in vitro spermatogenesis. Further research is needed to improve culture condition with the aim of producing fertile sperm of infertile adult male patients.
Wider implications of the findings: Our organ culture system could maintain testis structure and germ cells. By using the testis tissues of the transgender patients, which are available with their consent, we will promote the investigation of the culture condition necessary for germ cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the expression of tuftelin protein (TUFT1) and its clinical value in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-related liver cancer tissues. Methods: The biological information data of TUFT1 mRNA expression in liver cancer and non-cancer tissues were analyzed from the TCGA and Oncomine database. After the approval of the ethics committee, the self-pairing method was used to collect the postoperative cancer and para-carcinoma tissues of 132 HCC cases hospitalized between January 2009 and December 2014. Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to analyze the expression of TUFT1 in liver tissues. According to IHC staining, liver cancer was divided into high TUFT1 and low/no expression group. Combined with clinical data, the clinicopathological characteristics were statistically analyzed between and within the groups. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed by correlation analysis. Results: IHC staining showed that TUFT1 in cancer tissue was localized in the cytoplasm and cell membrane, and its positive expression rate was significantly higher in the liver cancer group (87.1%) than the para-carcinoma group (64.4%) (χ (2) = 18.563, P < 0.001). TUFT1 expression intensity in patients with liver cancer was significantly correlated with HBeAg positive (χ (2) = 4.080, P = 0.043), tumor size (χ (2) = 9.388, P = 0.002), vascular invasion (χ (2) = 14.885, P < 0.001), TNM stage (χ (2) = 13.516, P < 0.001) and ascites (χ (2) = 5.940, P = 0.015). TUFT1 high expression was negatively correlated with OS and DFS (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The overexpression of TUFT1 is closely related to HBV replication, vascular invasion and poor prognosis, and it is expected to become a useful marker for liver cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transcriptome data related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (a novel coronavirus discovered in 2019, SARS-CoV-2) in GEO database were downloaded. Based on the data, influence of SARS-CoV-2 on human cells was analyzed and potential therapeutic compounds against the SARS-CoV-2 were screened. MATERIALS AND METHODS R package "DESeq2" was used for differential gene analysis on the data of cells infected or non-infected with SARS-CoV-2. The "ClusterProfiler" package was used for GO functional annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the DEGs was constructed through STRING website, and the key subset in the PPI network was identified after visualization by Cytoscape software. Connectivity Map (CMap) database was used to screen known compounds that caused genomic change reverse to that caused by SARS-CoV-2. RESULTS By intersecting DEGs in two datasets, a total of 145 DEGs were screened out, among which 136 genes were upregulated and 9 genes were downregulated in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that these genes were mainly associated with the pathways involved in viral infection, inflammatory response, and immunity. The CMap research found that there were three compounds with a median_tau_score less than -90, namely triptolide, tivozanib and daunorubicin. CONCLUSIONS SARS-CoV-2 can cause abnormal changes in a large number of molecules and related signaling pathways in human cells, among which IL-17 and TNF signaling pathways may play a key role in pathogenic process of SARS-CoV-2. Here, three compounds that may be effective for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 were screened, which would provide new options for improving treatment of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the role of macrophages in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in order to provide directions for the therapeutic target of metabolic liver disease. Methods: Twenty C57BL/6 wild-type male mice at 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into two groups: 5 in the control group, methionine-and choline-deficient diet (MCD); 15 in the experimental group, MCD diet + intraperitoneal injection of disodium chlorophosphonate liposomes (to clear macrophages). Mice were fed for 4 weeks to establish NASH model. Blood, liver and spleen were collected to analyze the body mass index, liver index, spleen index, and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. Non-alcoholic steatosis (NAS) activity score was evaluated by HE and Oil Red O staining. The relative expression level of F4/80 mRNA was compared by RT-PCR. Data comparison between groups was analyzed by t-test. Results: NASH model was successfully established by feeding the mice with MCD for four week. The expression of F4/80 mRNA (t = 4.167, P < 0.01), hepatic steatosis (t = 10.70, P < 0.05), interlobular inflammatory infiltration (t = 3.08, P < 0.05), and NAS score were decreased (t = 8.06, P < 0.05) in the experimental group. At the same time, ALT level [(817.00 ± 128.90) U/L vs. (231.20 ± 36.28) U/L, t = 5.71, P < 0.01], AST level [(1 211.00 ± 248.90) U/L vs. (505.30 ± 88.20) U/L, t = 3.32, P < 0.01] was decreased significantly. However, the spleen volume and spleen index of the experimental group were larger (0.24 ± 0.01 and 0.32 ± 0.02, t = 2.41, P < 0.05), and there was no significant effect on liver ballooning, body mass index and liver index. Conclusion: In NASH, phosphonate can consume macrophages to inhibit liver inflammation and protect the damaged liver.

Abstract
A described monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and two undescribed digalactosyldiacylglycerols (DGDGs) were isolated from the leaves of Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton (Labiatae) by using silica gel column chromatography and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. The elucidation of complete structure of these compounds were conducted by using MS and NMR techniques. The MGDG (7.5% of total lipids) was identified as 1,2-2-O-(9Z,12Z,15E-octadecatrienoyl)-3-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol. The two DGDGs (2.8% and 1.0% of total lipids, respectively) were identified as 1-O-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoyl)-2-O-(6Z,9Z,12Z-octadecatrienoyl)-3-O-[β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1″→6')-α-D-galactopyranosyl]-sn-glycerol and 1-O- hexadecanoyl -2-O-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoy -l)-3-O-[β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1″→6')-α-D-galactopyranosyl]-sn-glycerol, respectively. All the isolated MGDG and DGDGs were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophages RAW264.7 cells. All of them showed good inhibitory activities and significantly blocked the production of LPS-induced TNF-α, (IL)-1β and IL-6. The above results shed some light on a better understanding of the traditional anti-inflammatory effect of Perilla frutescens and reveal the potential anti-inflammatory constituents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neuropathic pain is directly developed from lesions or somatosensory nervous system diseases that are associated with emotion regulation. In general population, the incidence of neuropathic pain ranges from 7% to 10%, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Neuropathic pain is often associated with structural and functional abnormalities in multiple brain regions, and its regulation has been shown to correspond with the forebrain, including nucleus accumbens (NAc), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and periaqueductal gray (PAG). MATERIALS AND METHODS To investigate the molecular mechanism of neuropathic pain across different brain regions, we identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the spared nerve injury model (SNI) mice suffering neuropathic pain and the control Sham mice in NAc, mPFC and PAG three brain regions, and mapped these genes onto a comprehensively functional association network. Thereafter, novel neuropathic pain genes in these three regions were identified using With Random Walk with Restart (RWR) analysis, such as Asic3, Cd200r1 and MT2, besides well-known Capn11 and CYP2E1. RESULTS Interactions or cross talks among DEGs in NAc, mPFC and PAG three brain regions were discovered. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide novel insights into neuropathic pain and help to explore therapeutic targets in the treatment.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized with high morbidity and mortality, mainly due to frequent recurrence and metastasis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of NSCLC tumorigenesis are largely unclear. Through data mining in the ONCOMINE and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, the expression of CSE1L (chromosome segregation like 1 protein/CAS), an exportin, was identified to be significantly upregulated in NSCLC and positively associated with poor prognosis of patients. By use of in vitro and in vivo gain- and loss-of-function experiments, we found that CSE1L can promote NSCLC cell proliferation while inhibiting cell apoptosis. Through immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry experiments, we demonstrated that CSE1L interacted with RELA (named as P65) and affected its location in the nucleus. Moreover, we found that one of the mechanisms by which CSE1L promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis is through activating the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. In summary, our findings indicated an oncogenic role of CSE1L in NSCLC tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Background Primary pure angiosarcoma of the testis is an exceptionally rare testicular malignancy, which is poorly understood. We present the fifth and youngest case in the current medical literature. Additionally, all cases of angiosarcoma of the testicle, both occurring with associated germ cell tumour and without, were compared in an extended tabular format. Case presentation A 56-year old man presented with unilateral scrotal pain, swelling and erythema. Ultrasonography revealed two testicular lesions with a high suspicion of malignancy but serum tumour markers were negative. A radical orchidectomy was performed with clear surgical margins. Diagnosis of primary pure angiosarcoma of the testis was confirmed on subsequent histopathology. Conclusions Primary pure angiosarcoma is a rare testicular neoplasm. We present the fifth case in the literature. Clinical and radiological features are non-specific. The diagnosis is purely histological, with the pathologist choosing immunohistochemistry based on abnormal morphology. Local invasiveness is variable but metastatic sites are typical for extra-gonadal angiosarcomas. Primary pure testicular angiosarcoma diagnosis confers a relatively better prognosis compared to angiosarcoma arising in the context of a testicular germ cell tumour. While extra-gonadal angiosarcomas are associated with high rates of local recurrence following resection, in all cases of testicular angiosarcoma there were no local recurrences following radical orchidectomy. Surgical resection remains the most effective treatment for both subtypes of testicular angiosarcoma.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effects of CT-guided chemical destructive block of lumbar sympathetic nerve in the treatment of cold sensation of limbs. Methods: In this retrospective analysis, clinical data of 43 patients with cold sensation of limbs treated by lumbar sympathetic chemical destructive block in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2015 to January 2018 were collected. The changes of heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), plantar temperature and peripheral perfusion index (PI) of patients were recorded and analyzed before treatment and 5 min after injection of anhydrous ethanol. The patients were followed up at postoperative 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Results: Fourty-three patients underwent bilateral lumbar sympathetic nerve chemical destructive block under the CT-guided, and all patients were punctured to the target successfully. The PI of patients before and after treatment were 1.2±0.6, 7.2±3.0 respectively, which was significantly increased after treatment compared with before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (t=12.386, P<0.05). The plantar temperature of patients before and after treatment respectively were (29.6±1.7)℃, (34.6±1.1)℃, which was significantly increased after treatment compared with before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (t=15.057, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in heart rate, NIBP and SpO(2) between before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Lumbar sympathetic chemical destructive block was clinically effective in 39 patients (90.7%) and ineffective in 4 patients (9.3%). Among the 39 clinically effective patients, the curative effects were excellent in 29 cases and improved in 10 cases. Postoperative recurrence occurred in 10 cases (25.6%). The satisfaction rates of patients at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after operation were 93.0%, 90.7%, 86.0%, 76.7%, 69.7%, 65.1% and 53.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Lumbar sympathetic chemical destructive block is a safe and effective way for the treatment of cold sensation of limbs, which can improve the symptoms of cold sensation of limbs to some extent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have shown that diffusion tensor imaging suggests a diffuse loss of white matter integrity in people with white matter hyperintensities or lacunes. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the presence of cerebral microbleeds and their distribution are related to the integrity of white matter microstructures. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised 982 participants who underwent brain MR imaging to determine microbleed status. The cross-sectional relation between microbleeds and the microstructural integrity of the white matter was assessed by 2 statistical methods: a multilinear regression model based on the average DTI parameters of normal-appearing white matter and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics analysis, a tract-based voxelwise analysis. Fiber tractography was used to spatially describe the microstructural abnormalities along WM tracts containing a cerebral microbleed. RESULTS The presence of cerebral microbleeds was associated with lower mean fractional anisotropy and higher mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity, and radial diffusivity, and the association remained when cardiovascular risk factors and cerebral small-vessel disease markers were further adjusted. Tract-Based Spatial Statistics analysis indicated strictly lobar cerebral microbleeds associated with lower fractional anisotropy, higher mean diffusivity, and higher radial diffusivity in the internal capsule and corpus callosum after adjusting other cerebral small-vessel disease markers, while only a few voxels remained associated with deep cerebral microbleeds. Diffusion abnormalities gradients along WM tracts containing a cerebral microbleed were not found in fiber tractography analysis. CONCLUSIONS Cerebral microbleeds are associated with widely distributed changes in white matter, despite their focal appearance on SWI.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a chronic inflammation derived from the background of hepatitis B and C virus (HBV and HCV) infection, chemical intoxicants, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Cancerous liver cells can express and secrete a variety of relatively specific markers, such as carcinoembryonic type of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), phosphatidylinositol-3 (Glypican-3, GPC-3), Wnt/β-Catenin key molecule of signaling pathway Wnt3a and liver cancer specific GGT-II (HS-GGT), etc. Clinical analysis of carcinoembryonic markers not only contributes to diagnosis and prognosis of HCC, but may also be the target of HCC immunotherapy with a promising prospect of development and application. This article reviews the latest valuable advances in carcinoembryonic type specific molecular markers and liver cancer immunotherapy.
