Abstract
Background:Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) usually impaired range of motions (ROMs), especially hand and wrist active ROMs (AROMs), thus influencing their ability to perform daily activities and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). However, little is known about the potential factors of reduced hand and wrist AROMs and their relations to quality of life in Chinese RA patients.Objectives:To explore the contributing factors of hand and wrist AROMs and their associations with HR-QoL and functional limitation in Chinese RA population.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 108 patients were enrolled from Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University between November 2018 and July 2019. We measured all the participants’ AROMs with different directions of the hand and wrist in both sides, including volar flexion, ulnar deviation, radial deviation and radial deviation of the wrist joint, the first metacarpophalangeal (MCP1) flexion, interphalangeal (IP) flexion, volar abduction, radial abduction and thumb opposition (cm) in the thumb, average flexion, hypertension and abduction of the MCP2-5, average proximal interphalangeal (PIP) 2-5 and distal interphalangeal (DIP) 2-5 flexions, total active range of motion (TAM) of the second to the fifth fingers (TAM2-TAM5). Their sociodemographic, physical, psychological, disease-related data, acute phase reactants, laboratory indicators, drug usage and HR-QoL were examined as well. Statistical analysis used Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation analysis, univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses.Results:In univariate analyses, we found that living in rural area, longer disease duration, comorbidity, hospitalization, more swollen joints, higher disease activity, pain level, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), red blood cell count and glucocorticoids usage were associated with most of the decreased hand and wrist AROMs (P ≤ 0.050), while higher education and annual income were related to most of the increased hand and wrist AROMs (P ≤ 0.048). In multivariate analyses, higher disease duration (P ≤ 0.023) and higher disease activity (P ≤ 0.033) were corelated with most of the decreased hand and wrist AROMs. Interestingly, the psychological factor, anxiety, was only positively associated with thumb opposition in both univariate and multivariate analyses (P ≤ 0.001). Additionally, most of the declined hand and wrist AROMs were associated with functional impairment and poor HR-QoL, especially in physical components (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Various factors, especially longer disease duration and higher disease activity, were related to decreased hand and wrist AROMs, and thus causing functional impairment and poor HR-QoL in RA patients. Clinical physicians and medical faculties should pay more attention to disease activity and disease-related symptoms of these patients in order to maintain their activity of daily living (ADL) ability and improve HR-QoL.References:[1]Rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
1. Growth performance is significant for chickens. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to play important roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of skeletal muscle growth. However, the mechanism of miRNAs in this process has not been elucidated.2. This study involved collecting leg muscle from slow- and fast-growing groups of Bian chicken at 16 weeks of age for high-throughput sequencing. A total of 42 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified. Among them, 22 DEMs were up-regulated and 20 DEMs were down-regulated.3. Biological process terms, relating to growth, were found by GO enrichment for target genes of DEMs and KEGG pathway analysis of target genes. This revealed some significantly enriched pathways closely related to skeletal muscle development, such as the calcium signalling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction, lysine degradation, apoptosis and tight junctions. Network interaction analysis of DEMs and target genes showed that the top fifty hub genes were targeted by thirteen DEMs.4. Four important miRNAs (novel_miR_158, novel_miR_144, novel_miR_291, and miR-205a) as well as some other valuable miRNAs, such as gga-miR-214 and gga-miR-3525 were identified. The qPCR results of five DEMs were highly consistent with that of sequencing between the two groups, which proved the reliability of miRNA-seq.5. The study will help to improve the molecular mechanism of miRNAs in chickens and guide future experiments concerning miRNA function in chicken growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that Quinazoline (QNZ) plays extremely important roles in the cellular physiological activity, but it has been rarely examined on cell behavior following intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). The aim of this study was to investigate whether QNZ mediates oxidative stress and inflammation contributed to IL-1β-induced nucleus pulposus (NP) cells degeneration in vitro. PATIENTS AND METHODS NP were isolated cells from human disc samples collected from patients and the IL-1β-induced NP cells degenerated model was constructed. The cells were randomly divided into 3 groups, namely, Control group, IL-1β group (10 µM), QNZ + IL-1β group (containing 10 nM QNZ and 10 µM IL-1β). Then, the cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay, and the levels of collagen I, collagen II, aggrecan, p16, p53, β-galactosidase (β-gal), antioxidant enzymes, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), NF-κB/MAPKs signaling-related proteins and inflammatory factors were examined using Western blot and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in NP cells. Finally, the expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the cell supernatants were also determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS This study showed that IL-1β promoted the progress of IDD, with markedly increased expressions of collagen I, p16, p53, and β-gal, as well as decreased expressions of collagen II and aggrecan. However, QNZ treatment could reverse the effects of IL-1β. It was found that cell proliferation was increased, ROS level was decreased, antioxidant enzymes were upregulated, and inflammatory factors were reduced after QNZ stimulation. Moreover, NF-κB/MAPKs signaling proteins IKKβ, IκBα, p65, ERK, JNK, and p38 were significantly dephosphorylated by QNZ. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that QNZ prevented NP degradation via restraining oxidative stress and inflammation through inhibition of the NF-κB/MAPKs signaling pathway. QNZ may become a novel insight into the therapy of IVDD in the future.

Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we studied the inhibitory effect of oleanolic acid (OA) on non-enzymatic glycosylation and the improvement of glycometabolism in insulin resistant (IR) human liver tumour (HepG2) cells. The anti-glycosylation activity of OA was determined by bovine serum albumin (BSA) fructose model. The results showed that OA moderately inhibited the formation of the intermediates of non-enzymatic glycosylation, fructosamine and α-dicarbonyl compounds, and strongly inhibited the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). In addition, we analysed the effect of OA on glycometabolism induced by palmitic acid (PA) in HepG2 cells. The results showed that OA had almost no impact on HepG2 cell viability at concentrations lower than 30 µM. With the increase of OA concentration, glucose production in IR HepG2 cells decreased, while glycogen content increased. Meanwhile, OA has a significant inhibitory effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in IR-HepG2 cells. Those results suggested that OA could be a promising natural blood glucose decreasing substance in the pharmaceutical and functional food industries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The suppressed hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after successful surgery for Cushing's disease (CD) will recover in almost all patients. We aimed to identify the predictive factors for HPA axis recovery in CD patients with postoperative remission. Design and Methods. This observational retrospective cross-sectional study enrolled 69 CD patients with postoperative remission in Huashan Hospital from 2015 to 2019. All subjects had a detailed clinical evaluation. The low-dose ACTH stimulation test (LDT) was conducted as the gold standard for assessing the HPA axis function. RESULTS Peak cortisol in LDT was found only to be positively correlative with morning serum cortisol (MSC) (ρ=0.451, p < 0.001). The MSC was higher (p < 0.001), and the median postoperative course was significantly longer (p=0.025) in the patients with the recovered HPA axis function compared with unrecovered patients. The AUC value of MSC for predicting the recovery of the HPA axis was 0.701, and the optimal cutoff was 6.25 μg/dl (sensitivity 85.19% and specificity 47.62%). Other useful cutoff values were 10.74 μg/dl (specificity 100%) and 4.18 μg/dl (sensitivity 100%). Besides, combined with the postoperative course, the AUC values were higher than MSC alone (0.935 vs. 0.701, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS MSC is a viable first-step diagnostic predictor for HPA axis recovery in CD patients with postoperative remission. For the patients with cortisol levels between 4.18 and 10.74 μg/dl, a confirmatory test should be conducted. When the MSC level was 10.74 μg/dl or greater, the replacement therapy could be discontinued.

Abstract
Electrolyte cations affect the activity of surface-mediated electrocatalytic reactions; however, understanding the modes of interaction between cations and reaction intermediates remains lacking. We show that larger alkali metal cations (excluding the thickness of the hydration shell) promote the electrochemical CO reduction reaction on polycrystalline Cu surfaces in alkaline electrolytes. Combined reactivity and in situ surface-enhanced spectroscopic investigations show that changes to the interfacial electric field strength cannot solely explain the reactivity trend with cation size, suggesting the presence of a nonelectric field strength component in the cation effect. Spectroscopic investigations with cation chelating agents and organic molecules show that the electric and nonelectric field components of the cation effect could be affected by both cation identity and composition of the electrochemical interface. The interdependent nature of interfacial species indicates that the cation effect should be considered an integral part of the broader effect of composition and structure of the electrochemical interface on electrode-mediated reactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility of using deep-learning algorithms to classify as normal or abnormal sonographic images of the fetal brain obtained in standard axial planes. METHODS We included in the study images retrieved from a large hospital database from 10 251 normal and 2529 abnormal pregnancies. Abnormal cases were confirmed by neonatal ultrasound, follow-up examination or autopsy. After a series of pretraining data processing steps, 15 372 normal and 14 047 abnormal fetal brain images in standard axial planes were obtained. These were divided into training and test datasets (at case level rather than image level), at a ratio of approximately 8:2. The training data were used to train the algorithms for three purposes: performance of image segmentation along the fetal skull, classification of the image as normal or abnormal and localization of the lesion. The accuracy was then tested on the test datasets, with performance of segmentation being assessed using precision, recall and Dice's coefficient (DICE), calculated to measure the extent of overlap between human-labeled and machine-segmented regions. We assessed classification accuracy by calculating the sensitivity and specificity for abnormal images. Additionally, for 2491 abnormal images, we determined how well each lesion had been localized by overlaying heat maps created by an algorithm on the segmented ultrasound images; an expert judged these in terms of how satisfactory was the lesion localization by the algorithm, classifying this as having been done precisely, closely or irrelevantly. RESULTS Segmentation precision, recall and DICE were 97.9%, 90.9% and 94.1%, respectively. For classification, the overall accuracy was 96.3%. The sensitivity and specificity for identification of abnormal images were 96.9% and 95.9%, respectively, and the area under the receiver-operating-characteristics curve was 0.989 (95% CI, 0.986-0.991). The algorithms located lesions precisely in 61.6% (1535/2491) of the abnormal images, closely in 24.6% (614/2491) and irrelevantly in 13.7% (342/2491). CONCLUSIONS Deep-learning algorithms can be trained for segmentation and classification of normal and abnormal fetal brain ultrasound images in standard axial planes and can provide heat maps for lesion localization. This study lays the foundation for further research on the differential diagnosis of fetal intracranial abnormalities. Copyright © 2020 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
Searches for electron antineutrino, muon neutrino, and muon antineutrino disappearance driven by sterile neutrino mixing have been carried out by the Daya Bay and MINOS+ collaborations. This Letter presents the combined results of these searches, along with exclusion results from the Bugey-3 reactor experiment, framed in a minimally extended four-neutrino scenario. Significantly improved constraints on the θ_{μe} mixing angle are derived that constitute the most constraining limits to date over five orders of magnitude in the mass-squared splitting Δm_{41}^{2}, excluding the 90% C.L. sterile-neutrino parameter space allowed by the LSND and MiniBooNE observations at 90% CL_{s} for Δm_{41}^{2}<13 eV^{2}. Furthermore, the LSND and MiniBooNE 99% C.L. allowed regions are excluded at 99% CL_{s} for Δm_{41}^{2}<1.6 eV^{2}.

Abstract
The 3 major subphenotypes observed in patients with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are nonsyndromic cleft lip only (NSCLO), nonsyndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP), and nonsyndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO). However, the genetic architecture underlying NSCPO is largely unknown. Here we performed a 2-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) on NSCPO and replication analyses of selected variants in other NSOFCs from the Chinese Han population. We identified a novel locus (15q24.3) and a known locus (1q32.2) where variants in or near the gene reached genome-wide significance (2.80 × 10-13 < P < 1.72 × 10-08) in a test for association with NSCPO in a case-control design. Although a variant from 15q24.3 was found to be significantly associated with both NSCPO and NSCLP, the direction of estimated effects on risk were opposite. Our functional annotation of the risk alleles within 15q24.3 coupled with previously established roles of the candidate genes within identified risk loci in periderm development, embryonic patterning, and/or regulation of cellular processes supports their involvement in palate development and the pathogenesis of cleft palate. Our study advances the understanding of the genetic basis of NSOFCs and provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of NSCPO.

Abstract
Recurrence and diffuse infiltration challenge traditional therapeutic strategies for malignant glioma. Immunotherapy appears to be a promising approach to obtain long-term survival. Dendritic cells (DCs), the most specialized and potent antigen-presenting cells (APCs), play an important part in initiating and amplifying both the innate and adaptive immune responses against cancer cells. However, cancer cells can escape from immune surveillance by inhibiting maturation of DCs. Until the present, molecular mechanisms of maturation inhibition of DCs in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have not been fully revealed. Our study showed that pretreatment with tumor-conditioned medium (TCM) collected from supernatant of primary glioma cells significantly suppressed the maturation of DCs. TCM pretreatment significantly changed the morphology of DCs, TCM decreased the expression levels of CD80, CD83, CD86 and interleukin (IL)-12p70, while it increased the expression levels of IL-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and IL-6. RNA-Seq showed that TCM pretreatment significantly increased the gene expression level of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) in DCs. suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) knock-down significantly antagonized the maturation inhibition of DCs by TCM, which was demonstrated by the restoration of maturation markers. TCM pretreatment also significantly suppressed T cell viability and T helper type 1 (Th1) response, and SOCS1 knock-down significantly antagonized this suppressive effect. Further, TCM pretreatment significantly suppressed p65 nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity in DCs, and SOCS1 knock-down significantly attenuated this suppressive effect. In conclusion, our research demonstrates that TCM up-regulate SOCS1 to suppress the maturation of DCs via the nuclear factor-kappa signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and pregnancy outcome of fertility-preserving treatment for patients with stage Ⅰa, grade 2 endometrial cancer (EC). Methods: Clinical data was retrospectively collected for EC or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) patients treated in Peking University People's Hospital, Foshan First People's Hospital of Guangdong Province and First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, from 2010 to 2019. Inclusion criteria for fertility-preserving treatment included: (1) Age ≤45 years. (2) EC with histological differentiation of G(1), G(2) or endometrial AEH. (3) EC disease should be stage Ⅰa, confined to the endometrium without myometrial invasion, lymph node or extrauterine metastasis. Treatment regimen: patients were given oral progestin therapy and endometrial pathology was evaluated every three months. Patients were divided into three groups as G(2) EC group, G(1) EC group and AEH group based on the histological differentiation. Oncological and pregnancy outcomes were compared among them. Results: (1) Totally 57 eligible patients were included in this study, including 11 cases with G(2) EC, 22 cases with G(1) EC, and 24 cases with AEH. (2) Oncological outcome: among the three groups of G(2) EC, G(1) EC and AH, the complete remission rates (9/11, 91% and 96%, respectively) and recurrence rates (3/9, 30% and 22%, respectively) were not significantly different (all P>0.05). Median remission time was significantly longer in the G(2) EC group than those in the other two groups (8, 6 and 4 months; P=0.046). Among 9 G(2) EC patients who recurred after complete remission, three patients relapsed at 7, 18 and 53 months, respectively. All 3 patients chose fertility-sparing treatment again, and all achieved complete remission after retreatment. (3) Pregnancy outcome: among the three groups, the assisted reproduction technology rates (4/8, 5/18 and 36%, respectively) and pregnancy rates (6/8, 5/18 and 36%, respectively) had no significant difference (P>0.05). However, time interval to pregnancy was shorter in G(2) EC patientsthan the other two groups (4, 9 and 22 months, respectively; P=0.006). Conclusions: Fertility-preserving treatment for patients with stageⅠa, G(2) endometrial cancer, may obtain a relatively high remission rate and an acceptable pregnancy rate. However, further exploration is needed due to the limited number of cases.

Abstract
Background:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects the sacroiliac joints and the spine, resulting in decline in quality of life[1,2]. Poor QoL is significantly related to high disease activity[3]. However, there is no systematic report on which prognosis indicators are affected by disease activity in AS patients.Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the patient-reported outcome measures and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in AS patients defined on the basis of the Bath Spondylitis Ankylosing Disease Activity Index (BASDAI).Methods:204 AS patients were involved in this study. A serious of questionnaires were used to overall assess AS patients, which include: Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), the Fatigue Severity Scale(FSS) and the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). Independent samples t-test, Mann–Whitney U-test, Chi-square analysis and Pearson /Spearman correlation were used to analyze the data.Results:The results demonstrated 31.4% AS patients were in active disease activity stage. Active AS patients were older, unemployed, and had less exercise therapy than stable AS patients. Besides, AS patients with active disease activity presented more severe pain(P<0.001), poor physical function(P<0.001) and spinal mobility(P<0.001). They were more anxious(P<0.001), depressed(P<0.001) and had more sleep disturbance(P=0.001). Compared with active AS patients, stable AS patients had more leukocytes(P=0.040), lymphocytes(P=0.002), erythrocytes(P=0.001) and hemoglobin(P<0.001). Active disease activity had a significant impact on all dimensions of quality of life in AS patients(P<0.001).Conclusion:These findings suggested that medical personnel should pay more attention to active AS patients and make effective interventions to improve quality of life.References:[1]Exarchou S, Lindstrom U, Askling J, Eriksson JK, Forsblad-d’Elia H, Neovius M, Turesson C, Kristensen LE, Jacobsson LT (2015) The prevalence of clinically diagnosed ankylosing spondylitis and its clinical manifestations: a nationwide register study.

Abstract
Background:Fatigue of chronic diseases has been paid more and more attention. but the status of fatigue in gout patients has not been reported all the world[1].Objectives:In the absence of previous studies, our study aims to investigate the fatigue status, explore the potential predictors of fatigue and the effects of fatigue on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Chinese gout patients.Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University. A series of questionnaires were applied: Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14), the 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Health Assessment Questionnaire(HAQ), the Short Form 36 health survey (SF-36). Laboratory examinations were taken to obtain some biochemical indicators. Independent samples t-test, Mann–Whitney U-test, Chi-square analysis, Pearson /Spearman correlation, Stepwise linear regression and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data.Results:411 gout patients were included in this study. Among them, more than 50% patients reported physical fatigue in FS-14, severe disease, poor psychological status and reduced HRQoL were associated with fatigue. Multiple stepwise linear regression and binary logistic regression were applied and showed that pain, sleep quality, anxiety, depression and functional disorder were the potential predictors of fatigue. In addition, we found that the more severe the fatigue, the lower the patient’s HRQoL.Conclusion:Fatigue among gout patients is exceedingly common. The results of this study suggested that rheumatologists should pay closely attention to gout patients who suffer from serious fatigue, especially those with pain, poorer sleep quality, anxiety, depression and functional disorder.References:[1]Henry, A., Tourbah, A., Camus, G., Deschamps, R., Mailhan, L., Castex, C., Gout, O. & Montreuil, M.

Abstract
Background:Studies have reported the association between overweight or obesity and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but their relation is still unclear in China.Objectives:To explore the prevalence of overweight or obesity and its effect on other indicators and their relationships in Chinese AS patients.Methods:Demographic and clinical variables were collected from 207 AS patients. Patients were categorized to normal BMI group (BMI < 23kg/m2) and overweight group (BMI ≥ 23kg/m2). We used Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF-36) to evaluate disease activity, physical function, spinal mobility, functional limitation and health-related quality of life, respectively. Statistical analysis used independent t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test and Spearman’s rank correlation test.Results:56.5% (117) AS patients were overweight or obese, among which 80.3% (94) were male. In the overweight group, patients were older, more being married, and have higher BMI, higher waist circumference, higher waist-to-hip ratio, longer disease duration, higher BASMI score, higher white blood cell count (WBC), higher lymphocyte and higher platelet count compared to the non-overweight group (P≤ 0.038). However, there was no distinct difference in BASDAI score between the two groups (P= 0.891). In the correlation analyses, gender and marital status (P≤ 0.036) were correlated negatively with BMI; while age, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, WBC, lymphocyte count and red blood cell (P≤ 0.036) were correlated positively with BMI.Conclusion:Overweight or obesity is common in Chinese AS patients. Increased BMI affects not disease activity but spinal mobility, which indicates that patients with high BMI are more likely to have limitations in flexion, extension, lateral bending and torsion of spine.References:[1]Bowness P.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The impact of EEG referencing on sleep oscillations, such as spindles and slow oscillations, is largely overlooked across studies. While it is recognized that a topographic head plot of EEG activity does not reflect the true location of the underlying cortical activity, spatial distributions, as well as spectral properties and morphology of EEG oscillations can change dramatically as a function of referencing scheme. It is therefore vital to understand the impact of referencing when drawing inferences about the nature of EEG sleep oscillations. In this study, we use MRI structural data to construct subject-specific forward models of EEG signals. Using these models, we can simulate cortical activity and observe its true representation on the scalp. In particular, we simulate spindles and slow wave oscillations and examine how referencing affects topography, spectral power, and phase of oscillations.
Methods
High-density EEG (Brain Vision, 64-channel) polysomnography was performed on 9 healthy young subjects. 3T structural MRI scans were acquired and forward models were built in MNE-Python using 3-shell Boundary Element Models (BEM) based on individual anatomical details processed with Freesurfer. Simulations of various sleep spindle and slow oscillation dynamics were projected to the sensor space. Different referencing schemes (common average, Laplacian, linked-mastoid) were then applied to the experimental and simulated data and analyzed for effects on time-frequency characteristics of sleep oscillations.
Results
Analyses of experimental data showed distinct reference-based differences in topographical distribution of spectral power and phase of oscillations. Simulated data revealed many scenarios in which the spatial distribution of activity the EEG sensor space poorly represented the true location of the underlying source activity. Moreover, there were alterations to the spatial spread and envelope form of sleep spindle events under different referencing schemes despite from identical source activities.
Conclusion
This study shows that spindle and slow oscillation activity is highly variable across referencing schemes and that EEG topographical plots on the scalp may poorly represent cortical activity locations. It is thus vital to consider the choice of referencing when quantifying characteristics of sleep EEG oscillations.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Spindles are currently defined clinically based on observed patterns in the EEG waveform trace, with automated methods seeking to replicate visual scoring by experts. Recent work suggests that sleep spindles may be more readily observed as time-frequency peaks in the EEG spectrogram. This study compares spectral peaks in the multitaper spectrogram to expert and automatic detection scoring, characterizes the variability of spindles across a night, and investigates topographical and temporal clustering of spindles within individual EEG records.
Methods
We compared spectral peaks, expert scoring, and automatic detection in two datasets (DREAMS, and a high-density control study). Peaks were identified using multitaper spectral estimation and the peak prominence of the normalized power spectrum for each channel. Spatiotemporal variability analysis was performed using cluster and pattern recognition algorithms including penalized sorting of channel activation order, 2D-cross correlation, PCA and UMAP cluster analysis, and the seqNMF method.
Results
Spectral peaks were shown to be highly robust to and easily differentiated from broadband noise, occuring at rates (10-16 per min) far exceeding spindle rates reported in literature (~2.5 per min). Expert scoring and automated scoring failed to capture clear spectral peaks in the time-frequency domain, indicating an underreporting of the phenomenology. No apparent clustering or patterns of sleep spindle-like activity was observed using the proposed methods, suggesting high variability of spatiotemporal evolution of spindles.
Conclusion
These results suggest that the difficulty of time-domain visual scoring of spindles causes an artificially low estimate of the underlying phenomenology, which is mirrored in the assumptions implicit in the thresholds of automated scorers. This work shows that spindles are highly variable in their spatiotemporal evolution, suggesting that there is no optimal single electrode for analysis and casting doubt on the presence of a single cortical generation mechanism. We must therefore revisit the concept of the spindle using the time-frequency domain to more robustly characterize underlying phenomenology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) in treating relapse/refractory DLBCL (R/R DLBCL) and associated complete-remission rate (CR). MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CBM, and Wanfang databases were searched, and literature was collected up to January 2019. According to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, two researchers independently reviewed and screened literature, extracted required data and crossly checked them. This meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS This study finally included 13 English literatures and 263 cases. There was no heterogeneity among all these studies, therefore, fixed effect model was used. Meta-analysis findings showed that total CR rate of R/R DLBCL treated with CAR-T was 46.8% (95% CI: 0.408-0.533). Subgroup analysis showed that CR rate of CD28 group was slightly higher [52.5%, with 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.441-0.602] compared to that of 4-1BB group (41.5%, with 95% CI: 0.324-0.510). CR rate of CD19 group was slightly higher (49.2%, with 95% CI: 0.429-0.556) compared to that of CD20 group (42.2%, with 95% CI: 0.231-0.639). Funnel chart of total CR rate, co-stimulatory factor, and target antigen demonstrated fundamental symmetry. Moreover, age, HSCT administration, CAR-T cell counts, and drug pre-treatment also affected immunotherapy on CAR-T on R/R DLBCL. CONCLUSIONS CAR-T treatment for R/R DLBCL demonstrated evident curative effect and high complete remission rate. CAR-T cell immunotherapy would be expected to become mainstream therapy for hematolymph system tumors.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been made to improve the electrochemical performance of the lithium-sulfur batteries. However, challenges remain in achieving fast electronic and ionic transport while accommodate the significant cathode volumetric change. On the other hand, the severe capacity decay mainly attributed to polysulfide shuttle also hampers the practical applications. Here, we report a simple, low-cost, and eco-friendly method for the one-step preparation of a binder-free S-C composite cathode by plasma dissociation of CS2 containing gases at room-temperature. The key issue of polysulfide shuttle effect in Li-S batteries is also effectively resolved just by the introduction of N2 into the precursor gases. The electrode exhibits a high reversible capacity of ~600 mAh/g of the total hybrid of S + C at 100 mA/g after 100 cycles with an excellent initial coulombic efficiency of nearly 100%. The cells also demonstrate along cycle life and an extremely high capacity of ~306 mAh/g even after 300 cycles at 1 A/g with a high coulombic efficiency of about 100%. The proposed method will open the way for the plasma applications in facile preparation of Li-S batteries and the improvement of its electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy and pregnancy outcomes of fertility- preserving re-treatment in patients with recurrent atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and early stage endometrial carcinoma (EEC) after achieved complete remission (CR) of primary fertility-preserving therapy. Methods: There were 104 cases of AEH and EEC collected from 9 hospitals in the multi-center research network platform of fertility-preserving therapy of endometrial carcinoma in China from January 2005 to May 2019. Thirth-one cases of them relapsed from four hospitals mentioned above,who achieved CR after primary fertility-preserving therapy,was analyzed retrospectively. Of the 31 cases, 27 cases chose fertility-preserving re-treatment. The demographic characteristics, re-treatment effect, clinical factors and pregnancy outcomes were observed. Results: (1) There were 16 AEH cases and 11 ECC cases among 27 recurrent patients who chose fertility-preserving therapy again. After re-treatment, CR was found in 13 out of 16 cases of AEH and 9 out of 11 cases of EEC. The overall CR rate was 81% (22/27). (2) After CR of recurrence, 5 cases (23%, 5/22) of re-recurrence were found after with a median time of 33 months (range 21-80 months). There were 4 cases underwent comprehensive surgical staging, and 1 patient chose the third round of fertility preservation therapy with fully informed consent, and CR was reached after 15 months. (3) There were 16 cases with pregnancy intention, with a total of 12 pregnancies, including 5 cases were natural pregnancy and 7 cases were assisted reproductive technology pregnancy. There were 5 live births. The follow-up time was up to May 2019, and the median follow-up time was 73 months (range 0-123 months). All 27 patients had disease free survival. Conclusions: Recurrent patients with AEH and EEC after achieving successful fertility-preserving therapy could choose fertility-preserving therapy again with comprehensive assessment and fully informed consent. After re-treatment, there is a certain tumor CR rate and pregnancy rate, while the close follow-up is required during treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Risk stratification following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is of utmost importance, in order to identify patients at higher risk of subsequent cardiovascular events. Diabetic patients have a significantly worse prognosis, so new risk prediction tools are important to better identify and risk stratify high risk patients within this important ACS subpopulation.
Aim
The aim of this study was to identify the best predictors of a new ACS, in a single-center database of ACS, resorting to machine learning and artificial intelligence, and to compare the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score's relevance for risk discrimination in a general ACS population versus a subpopulation of diabetic patients.
Methods
In a single center, 5977 patients admitted due to ACS between 2004 and 2017 and alive at discharge were studied. In the subpopulation of diabetic patients (n=3429), each covariate present in the database was analyzed separately with a Cox proportional hazard model with three terms – subpopulation belonging indicator, covariate, interaction term. The p-value of the interaction term was used to rank variables. The more significant the interaction term, the stronger the change in relationship between patients in the subpopulation and the risk of a new ACS, compared to the one in the general population.
Results
During long term follow-up, 13% of patients (n=771) experienced a second event. Kaplan-Meier curve represents how ACS free-survival depends on the GRACE risk score and group of interest. In the general population and in the subpopulation of diabetic patients, the GRACE score was used to further divide patients into 3 terciles, of which only the lower and upper tercile are shown (GRACE ≤113 and GRACE >144, respectively). The solid lines represent Kaplan-Meier curves for diabetic patients, and the dotted lines in the general population. Pink or grey colour of the curves represent the stratification level of the covariate.
Conclusions
In our model, the GRACE risk score was found to be a better discriminator of risk of futher ACS in diabetic patients than in the general ACS population. Strikingly, a higher GRACE score predicts a lower rate of readmission, probably because many patients will die in the index hospitalization or out of hospital. This finding reinforces the usefulness of the GRACE score in high risk patients and may improve risk stratisfication in diabetic post-ACS patients, making sure that they are closely followed and submitted to optimal risk factor management, in order to improve their post-ACS prognosis.

Abstract
This Letter reports the first extraction of individual antineutrino spectra from ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu fission and an improved measurement of the prompt energy spectrum of reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay. The analysis uses 3.5×10^{6} inverse beta-decay candidates in four near antineutrino detectors in 1958 days. The individual antineutrino spectra of the two dominant isotopes, ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu, are extracted using the evolution of the prompt spectrum as a function of the isotope fission fractions. In the energy window of 4-6 MeV, a 7% (9%) excess of events is observed for the ^{235}U (^{239}Pu) spectrum compared with the normalized Huber-Mueller model prediction. The significance of discrepancy is 4.0σ for ^{235}U spectral shape compared with the Huber-Mueller model prediction. The shape of the measured inverse beta-decay prompt energy spectrum disagrees with the prediction of the Huber-Mueller model at 5.3σ. In the energy range of 4-6 MeV, a maximal local discrepancy of 6.3σ is observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations of ultrasound and pathological characteristics of thyroid carcinoma through evaluating the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) level and protein expression of thyroid cancer-1 (TC-1). PATIENTS AND METHODS The patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) hospitalized in our hospital were enrolled. Then, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) technique were applied to measure the mRNA and protein expression levels of TC-1 in PTC and corresponding adjacent tissues (NCE) of 50 patients. The relations with clinicopathological and ultrasound characteristics were analyzed. RESULTS The expression of TC-1 mRNA in PTC tissues was statistically higher than that in corresponding adjacent tissues and significantly correlated with tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, pathological grade, and lymph node metastasis of PTC (p<0.05). According to IHC, TC-1 positive expression was mainly found in the cytoplasm in PTC samples, which was statistically increased compared to adjacent tissues (p<0.05). Western blotting results revealed that the relative protein expression of TC-1 in PTC tissues was 2.646±195, which was significantly higher than that in corresponding adjacent tissues (892±76) (p<0.05). The TC-1 protein expression also showed significant associations with TNM stage, pathological grade, and lymph node metastasis of patients (p<0.05). The level of TC-1 mRNA in PTC tissues with micro-calcification detected by ultrasound (87.46±49.55) was higher than that in those without micro-calcification (38.46±29.15) (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The expression of TC-1 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of PTC. Ultrasound characteristics reflect the expression of TC-1 in PTC tissues to some extent, providing a certain value in evaluating the prognosis of PTC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Endocrine therapy is the preferred option in patients presenting with hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). While visceral metastasis is a negative prognostic factor, few studies have distinguished between the prognosis of different visceral sites.
Patients and methods: 505 HR-positive MBC patients administered with fulvestrant at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center during a 6-year period were enrolled, 398 patients receiving fulvestrant 500mg were included in final analysis. Logistic regression models were used to identify prognostic factors associated with progression-free survival (PFS). Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to compare PFS of lung and liver metastases.
Results: Median follow-up time was 26 months. 233 patients presented with baseline visceral metastases, including 138 lungw/o liver metastases (lung metastasis without liver involvement), 51 liverw/o lung metastases (liver metastasis without lung involvement), and 41 with both lung and liver metastases. Median PFS was 6.8 months (5.6 months for visceral metastases, 9.2 months for non-visceral metastases, P = 0.028). Lungw/o liver metastases had longer median PFS compared to liverw/o lung metastases or both lung and liver metastases (9.6 months, 3.7 months and 3.2 months, respectively, P < 0.001). In addition, patients with liver metastases experienced a significantly worse PFS when compared with those without liver involvement (3.7 versus 9.2 months, P < 0.001). In multivariate analyses, PFS benefits of fulvestrant were observed in patients with longer disease-free interval, absence of liver metastases, and no previous chemotherapy for MBC.

Abstract
The electronic structure of BiFeO3 has been investigated by using electron energy loss spectrum and first-principle calculations. Assignments of the individual interband transitions have been accomplished by comparing the interband transition energy with the calculated PDOS. The DOS is mainly divided into two regions, the hybridized region of O 2p with Fe 3p in the valence band and that of O 2p hybridized with Bi 6p in the conduction band. From the simulation of high energy-loss near-edge structure, the core-hole effect is believed to be more significant. The feature groups for the experimental spectra of O K-edge and Fe L2,3-edge are consistent with simulation results.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the postoperative prognosis and the related factors of patients with stage pT2N0-1M0 of thoracic esophageal carcinoma(EC). Methods: From 2008 to 2011, clinical data of 275 cases with stage pT2N0-1M0 of thoracic EC treated by esophagectomy were enrolled. These cases includ 180 male and 95 female. Among them, 32 cases were upper thoracic EC, 186 cases were middle thoracic EC and 57 cases were lower thoracic EC. Alternatively, 205 cases were stage pN0, 70 cases were stage pN1. 155 cases received esophagectomy alone and 120 cases received esophagectomy and postoperative adjuvant therapy. Results: The end of follow-up time was on September 30th, 2014. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 91.6%, 70.2% and 63.7%, respectively. The 1- 3-, 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 83.9%, 64.0% and 60.0%, respectively. The result of univariate analysis showed that the depth of tumor invasion, pathological type, pN stage and number of metastatic lymph nodes were significantly associated with OS (all of P<0.05). Moreover, the gender, the depth of tumor invasion, pathological type, pN stage and number of metastatic lymph nodes were significantly associated with PFS (all of P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the location of primary tumor and pN stage were the independent factors of OS (both P<0.05). The gender, pN stage and postoperative adjuvant therapy were the independent factors of PFS (all of P<0.05). Conclusion: Among the patients with pT2N0~1M0 stage of thoracic EC, patients with upper thoracic EC or pN1 stage have poorer postoperative prognosis compared with others, and postoperative adjuvant treatment is recommended for these patients.

Abstract
We report a measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment with nearly 4 million reactor ν[over ¯]_{e} inverse β decay candidates observed over 1958 days of data collection. The installation of a flash analog-to-digital converter readout system and a special calibration campaign using different source enclosures reduce uncertainties in the absolute energy calibration to less than 0.5% for visible energies larger than 2 MeV. The uncertainty in the cosmogenic ^{9}Li and ^{8}He background is reduced from 45% to 30% in the near detectors. A detailed investigation of the spent nuclear fuel history improves its uncertainty from 100% to 30%. Analysis of the relative ν[over ¯]_{e} rates and energy spectra among detectors yields sin^{2}2θ_{13}=0.0856±0.0029 and Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.471_{-0.070}^{+0.068})×10^{-3} eV^{2} assuming the normal hierarchy, and Δm_{32}^{2}=-(2.575_{-0.070}^{+0.068})×10^{-3} eV^{2} assuming the inverted hierarchy.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the association between fetal borderline ventriculomegaly (VM) diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound and chromosomal abnormality. Methods: Sonographic manifestation and chromosome of 129 cases with borderline VM diagnosed by prenatal sonography were analyzed retrospectively. All subjects were divided into 3 groups, 80 cases (62.0%, 80/129) in isolated VM (IVM) group, 27 cases (20.9%, 27/129) of VM with no additional structural abnormality group (including ultrasonic soft marker, abnormal volume of amniotic fluid and fetal growth restriction) and 22 cases (17.1%, 22/129) of VM with structural abnormality. Furthermore, the IVM group was sub-grouped according to fetal sex, lesion position and degree of expansion. The results of chromosome detection in different sub-group were analyzed statistically. Results: (1) Overall situation: in 129 enrolled cases of borderline VM, 8 cases of chromosomal abnormality were detected by CMA and the positive detection rate was 6.2% (8/129) , of which 2 cases were abnormal karyotype and 6 cases were pathologic copy number variation (p-CNV) . (2) The results of fetal chromosomal abnormalities detected in 3 groups: there were no case of abnormal karyotype and 4 cases of p-CNV in IVM group, the detection rate of chromosome abnormalities was 5.0% (4/80) . One case of abnormal karyotype and 2 cases of p-CNV in VM with no additional structural abnormality group, the detection rate was 11.1% (3/27) . One case of abnormal karyotype and no case of p-CNV in VM with structural abnormality group, the detection rate was 4.5% (1/22) . There were no significant difference among 3 groups (all P>0.05) . Conclusions: The risk of chromosomal abnormaliy increases in fetus with borderline VM. When the fetal VM is found by ultrasound, it is necessary to perform comprehensive scanning and regular follow-up. Fetal chromosomes examination is recommended.

Abstract
Objective: To investigated the clinical value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT) . Methods: Totally 101 cases out of 19 261 singleton fetuses who underwent the first trimester (11-13+6 weeks) ultrasound examination from January 2015 to June 2017 at First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were diagnosed with NT ≥2.5 mm and underwent invasive prenatal test for fetal karyotype and CMA. According to the combination of other ultrasound abnormalities, the cases were divided into isolated group (67.3%, 68/101) and complicated group (32.7%, 33/101) . In addition, the cases were divided into 5 groups according to the thickness of NT, 2.5-2.9 mm (borderline thickening; 16.8%, 17/101) , 3.0-3.4 mm (33.7%, 34/101) , 3.5-4.4 mm (16.8%, 17/101) , 4.5-5.4 mm (15.8%, 16/101) , and ≥5.5 mm (16.8%, 17/101) . Chi square test was used to detect the different rates of other combined ultrasound abnormalities and abnormal chromosome between 5 groups. Results: The median thickness of NT was 3.4 mm (2.5-8.5 mm) . And 32 cases (31.7%, 32/101) had abnormal karyotype. There was a significant difference in the frequency of abnormal karyotype between the isolated and the complicated group (20.6% vs 54.5%, P<0.01) . Among 69 cases (68.3%, 69/101) of normal karyotype, 3 cases (4.3%, 3/69) were detected with pathogenic copy number variation (CNV) by CMA. Thirty-five cases with chromosomal abnormalities (include abnormal karyotype and pathogenic CNV) , there was a significant difference in the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities between the isolated and the complicated group (23.5% vs 57.6%, P=0.001) . The median age of pregnant women in 5 groups was 35 years (24-39 years) , 33 years (23-46 years) , 31 years (21-46 years) , 33 years (21-41 years) and 35 years (21-43 years) . The rates of chromosomal abnormalities increased with the increase of NT thickness. There was significant difference in the incidence of associated chromosomal abnormalities among 5 groups (P<0.05) . Comparative analysis within the 5 groups, the incidence of associated chromosomal abnormalities between NT 2.5-2.9 mm and ≥5.5 mm was significantly different (P=0.005) , while the differences between the other groups were not significant (P>0.05) . Conclusions: There is a high risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities in borderline NT thickening (2.5-2.9 mm) at advanced maternal age, but the pathogenic CNV is not detected. Chromosomal microdeletion or microduplication could be further detected in the NT thickening (≥3.0 mm) fetuses with normal karyotype by chromosome microarray analysis, while the positive rate is relatively low, and the variants of unknown significance might be detected.

Abstract
Objective The increment of CD4+CD25−Foxp3+T cells has been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. However, the exact identity of this T cell subset is still unclear. Thus, we analyzed CD4+CD25−Foxp3+T cells and Treg cells (CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells) in a large sample of Chinese SLE patients in different disease states. Methods A total of 280 SLE patients and 38 healthy volunteers were enrolled, which included 21 patients with untreated new-onset lupus (UNOL), 13 patients with drug withdrawal more than 6 months and 246 patients with treatments. Phenotypic and functional analysis of peripheral blood CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells and Treg cells were performed by flow cytometry. The correlation of CD4+CD25−Foxp3+T cells and Treg cells with disease activity, clinical indicators and organ involvement were analyzed. Results CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells and Treg cells were significantly increased in SLE patients and showed significantly positive correlations with disease activity. CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells were significantly increased in patients with skin and hematologic involvement as well as arthritis. Diverse changes between CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells and Treg cells when faced with different medications, especially HCQ and MMF. CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells expressed more IFN-γ and less CTLA-4 than CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells, which were similar to CD4+CD25+Foxp3− T cells, and expressed similar IL-17, ICOS and Helios to CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells. The synthesis capacity of IL-10 of CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells and the expression of GITR on CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells were between CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ and CD4+CD25+Foxp3− T cells. Conclusions Our results indicate that increased CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T cells in lupus patients, which combined the features of suppression and pro-inflammatory, may serve as a biomarker for disease activity and organ involvement in SLE.
