Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is clinically challenging to differentiate the pathophysiological types of shock in emergency situations. Here, we evaluated the ability of a novel bedside ultrasound protocol (Tamponade/tension pneumothorax, Heart, Inferior vena cava, Respiratory system, Deep venous thrombosis/aorta dissection [THIRD]) to predict types of shock in the emergency department. METHODS An emergency physician performed the THIRD protocol on all patients with shock who were admitted to the emergency department. All patients were closely followed to determine their final clinical diagnoses. The kappa index, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated for the initial diagnostic impression provided by the THIRD protocol, compared with each patient's final diagnosis. RESULTS In total, 112 patients were enrolled in this study. The kappa index between initial impression and final diagnosis was 0.81 (95% confidence interval=0.73-0.89; P<0.001). For hypovolaemic, cardiogenic, distributive, and obstructive types of shock, the sensitivities of the THIRD protocol were 100%, 100%, 93%, and 100%, respectively; the sensitivity for a 'mixed' shock aetiology was 86%. The negative predictive value of the THIRD protocol for all five types of shock was ≥96%. CONCLUSION Initial diagnostic judgements determined using the THIRD protocol showed favourable agreement with the final diagnosis in patients who presented with undifferentiated shock. The THIRD protocol has great potential for use as a bedside approach that can guide the rapid management of undifferentiated shock in emergency settings, particularly for patients with obstructive, hypovolaemic, or cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Purpose To identify key retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) genes linked to the induction of myopia in guinea pigs. Methods To induce myopia, two-week-old pigmented guinea pigs (New Zealand strain, n = 5) wore −10 diopter (D) rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (CLs), for one day; fellow eyes were left without CLs and served as controls. Spherical equivalent refractive errors (SE) and axial length (AL) were measured at baseline and one day after initiation of CL wear. RNA sequencing was applied to RPE collected from both treated and fellow (control) eyes after one day of CL-wear to identify related gene expression changes. Additional RPE-RNA samples from treated and fellow eyes were subjected to quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis for validation purposes. Results The CLs induced myopia. The change from baseline values in SE was significantly different (P = 0.016), whereas there was no significant difference in the change in AL (P = 0.10). RNA sequencing revealed significant interocular differences in the expression in RPE of 13 genes: eight genes were significantly upregulated in treated eyes relative to their fellows, and five genes, including bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Bmp2), were significantly downregulated. The latter result was also confirmed by qRT-PCR. Additional analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed significant enrichment for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and TGF-β signaling pathways. Conclusions The results of this RPE gene expression study provide further supporting evidence for an important role of BMP2 in eye growth regulation, here from a guinea pig myopia model.

Abstract
Most Earth system models (ESMs) do not explicitly represent the carbon (C) costs of plant nutrient acquisition, which leads to uncertainty in predictions of the current and future constraints to the land C sink. We integrate a plant productivity-optimizing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) acquisition model (fixation & uptake of nutrients, FUN) into the energy exascale Earth system (E3SM) land model (ELM). Global plant N and P uptake are dynamically simulated by ELM-FUN based on the C costs of nutrient acquisition from mycorrhizae, direct root uptake, retranslocation from senescing leaves, and biological N fixation. We benchmarked ELM-FUN with three classes of products: ILAMB, a remotely sensed nutrient limitation product, and CMIP6 models; we found significant improvements in C cycle variables, although the lack of more observed nutrient data prevents a comprehensive level of benchmarking. Overall, we found N and P co-limitation for 80% of land area, with the remaining 20% being either predominantly N or P limited. Globally, the new model predicts that plants invested 4.1 Pg C yr-1 to acquire 841.8 Tg N yr-1 and 48.1 Tg P yr-1 (1994-2005), leading to significant downregulation of global net primary production (NPP). Global NPP is reduced by 20% with C costs of N and 50% with C costs of NP. Modeled and observed nutrient limitation agreement increases when N and P are considered together (r 2 from 0.73 to 0.83).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose an adaptive weighted CT metal artifact reduce algorithm that combines projection interpolation and physical correction. METHODS A normalized metal projection interpolation algorithm was used to obtain the initial corrected projection data. A metal physical correction model was then introduced to obtain the physically corrected projection data. To verify the effectiveness of the method, we conducted experiments using simulation data and clinical data. For the simulation data, the quantitative indicators PSNR and SSIM were used for evaluation, while for the clinical data, the resultant images were evaluated by imaging experts to compare the artifact-reducing performance of different methods. RESULTS For the simulation data, the proposed method improved the PSNR value by at least 0.2 dB and resulted in the highest SSIM value among the methods for comparison. The experiment with the clinical data showed that the imaging experts gave the highest scores of 3.616±0.338 (in a 5-point scale) to the images processed using the proposed method, which had significant better artifact-reducing performance than the other methods (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The metal artifact reduction algorithm proposed herein can effectively reduce metal artifacts while preserving the tissue structure information and reducing the generation of new artifacts.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the safety and efficacy of combined left atrial appendage (LAA) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in adult atrial fibrillation (AF) patients complicating with PFO. Methods: This study is a retrospective and cross-sectional study. Seven patients with AF complicated with PFO diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in Zhoupu Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences from June 2017 to October 2020 were selected. Basic data such as age, gender and medical history were collected. The atrial septal defect or PFO occluder and LAA occluder were selected according to the size of PFO, the ostia width and depth of LAA. Four patients underwent left atrial appendage closure(LAAC) and PFO closure at the same time. PFO closure was performed during a one-stop procedure of cryoablation combined with LAAC in 2 patients. One patient underwent PFO closure at 10 weeks after one-stop procedure because of recurrent transient ischemic attack (TIA). All patients continued to take oral anticoagulants. TEE was repeated 8-12 weeks after intervention. In case of device related thrombus(DRT), TEE shall be rechecked 6 months after adjusting anticoagulant and antiplatelet drug treatment. Patients were follow-up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months by telephone call, and the occurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular events was recorded. Results: Among the 7 patients with AF, 2 were male, aged (68.0±9.4) years, and 3 had a history of recurrent cerebral infarction and TIA. Average PFO diameter was (3.5±0.8)mm. Three patients were implanted with Watchman LAA occluder (30, 30, 33 mm) and atrial septal defect occluder (8, 9, 16 mm). 2 patients were implanted with LAmbre LAA occluder (34/38, 18/32 mm) and PFO occluder (PF1825, PF2525). 2 patients were implanted with LACbes LAA occluder (24, 28 mm) and PFO occluder (PF2525, PF1825) respectively. The patients were followed up for 12 (11, 24) months after operation. TEE reexamination showed that the position of LAA occluder and atrial septal defect occluder or PFO occluder was normal in all patients. DRT was detected in 1 patient, and anticoagulant therapy was adjusted in this patient. 6 months later, TEE showed that DRT disappeared. No cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occurred in all patients with AF during follow-up. Conclusions: In AF patients complicated with PFO, LAAC combined with PFO closure may have good safety and effectiveness.

Abstract
Objective: Systematically summarize the research progress of clinical trials of gastric cancer oncology drugs and the overview of marketed drugs in China from 2012 to 2021, providing data and decision-making evidence for relevant departments. Methods: Based on the registration database of the drug clinical trial registration and information disclosure platform of Food and Drug Administration of China and the data query system of domestic and imported drugs, the information on gastric cancer drug clinical trials, investigational drugs and marketed drugs from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021 was analyzed, and the differences between Chinese and foreign enterprises in terms of trial scope, trial phase, treatment lines and drug type, effect and mechanism studies were compared. Results: A total of 114 drug clinical trials related to gastric tumor were registered in China from 2012 to 2021, accounting for 3.7% (114/3 041) of all anticancer drug clinical trials in the same period, the registration number showed a significant growth rate after 2016 and reached its peak with 32 trials in 2020. Among them, 85 (74.6%, 85/114) trials were initiated by Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise. Compared with foreign pharmaceutical enterprise, Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise had higher rates of phase I trials (35.3% vs 6.9%, P=0.001), but the rate of international multicenter trials (11.9% vs 67.9%, P<0.001) was relatively low. There were 76 different drugs involved in relevant clinical trials, of which 65 (85.5%) were targeted drugs. For targeted drugs, HER2 is the most common one (14 types), followed by PD-1 and multi-target VEGER. In the past ten years, 3 of 4 marketed drugs for gastric cancer treatment were domestic and included in the national medical insurance directory. Conclusions: From 2012 to 2021, China has made some progress in drug research and development for gastric carcinoma. However, compared with the serious disease burden, it is still insufficient. Targeted strengthening of research and development of investment in many aspects of gastric cancer drugs, such as new target discovery, matured target excavating, combination drug development and early line therapy promotion, is the key work in the future, especially for domestic companies.

Abstract
Purpose This study compared the efficacy of topical 1% atropine applied daily versus every 3 days for controlling myopia progression in guinea pigs. Methods To induce myopia, pigmented guinea pigs (New Zealand strain, n = 38) wore monocular −10 D rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses, which were replaced after 3 weeks with −15 diopter (D) contact lenses. Animals were treated with 1% atropine either daily (Atr-QD; n = 12), or every 3 days (Atr-Q3D; n = 11), or with artificial tears (control group; n = 15). Spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) and axial length (AL) data, as well as retinal and choroidal thickness data were collected weekly. Results Whereas mean (±SEM) interocular differences (treated - fellow) in both SER and AL at week 0 (baseline) were similar for all groups, significant differences between the atropine-treated and control groups were evident by week 6 (SER and AL, P < 0.001). The treated eyes of the control group showed relatively more axial elongation and myopia progression than both the Atr-QD and Atr-Q3D groups. Choroidal blood vessel area also decreased over time in the treated eyes of the control group, coupled with choroidal thinning overall, with these changes being attenuated by atropine. Retinal thickness showed a developmental decrease over the treatment period but was unaffected by atropine. Conclusions For this defocus-induced guinea pig model of myopia, application of 1% topical atropine slows myopia progression, even when applied every 3 days. Translational Relevance The results from this study suggest that the frequency of dosing for topical atropine may be reduced from the widely used daily dosing regimen without loss of myopia control efficacy.

Abstract
Insect midgut cadherins function as receptors and play critical roles as protein receptors of insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins used as biopesticides and in Bt transgenic crops worldwide. Here, we cloned and characterized the full-length midgut cadherin (CmCad) cDNA from the rice leaffolder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis), a destructive pest of rice in many Asian countries. Expression of recombinant proteins corresponding to the extracellular domain of CmCad allowed testing binding of Cry proteins. Results from in vitro ligand blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays supported that the extracellular domain of CmCad contains regions recognized by both Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa. Molecular modelling and docking simulations indicated that binding to both Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa is localized primarily within a CmCad motif corresponding to residues T1417-D1435. A recombinant CmCad protein produced without residues T1417-D1435 lacked binding to Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa, confirmed our modelling predictions that CmCad has a shared Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa binding site. The potential existence of a shared binding region in CmCad suggests that caution should be taken when using combinations of Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa in pyramided transgenic rice, as their combined use could speed the evolution of resistance to both toxins.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between nutritional status and depression of centenarians in Hainan Province. Methods: A total of 1 002 elderly people in Hainan Province who were 100 years of age or older on June 1, 2014 were included in the study. The basic condition questionnaire, Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living-Lawton scale (Lawton-IADL) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) were used to collect the subjects' demographic characteristics, disease history, nutritional status, functional status of daily activities, and depression, respectively. The restricted cubic spline fitting logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the scores of MNA-SF and depression. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and depression in the total population and different subgroups of daily activity function. Results: The M (Q1, Q3) of subjects' age was 102 (101, 104) years old, among which 82.0% (822) were women. The prevalence of malnutrition, impaired daily activities, and depression was 20.8% (208 cases), 64.7% (648 cases) and 28.5%(286 cases), respectively. Restricted cubic spline fitting logistic regression model showed a linear association between the scores of the MNA-SF and depression (P=0.251). The higher the MNA-SF score was, the lower the risk of depression was in centenarians. Multivariable logistic regression model analysis showed that after adjusting for sex, education level, diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, visual function, hearing function, and functional status of daily activities, malnutrition was positively associated with the development of depression in the total population and the subgroup with impaired daily activities [OR (95%CI) was 1.50 (1.07-2.11) and 1.56 (1.09-2.24), respectively], but not in the subgroup with good daily activities [OR (95%CI): 0.77 (0.21-2.80)]. Conclusion: Malnutrition is positively associated with depression, especially in the centenarians with impaired daily activities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the real prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis infections in the freshwater fish in mainland China, so as to provide insights into clonorchiasis control and detection of freshwater fish. METHODS All literatures reporting the prevalence of C. sinensis infections in the freshwater fish, the second intermediate host of the parasite, were jointly retrieved in Chinese and English electronic databases from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020, including Wanfang Data, CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library. All studies were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of all enrolled literatures was evaluated. The pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using the software Stata version 15.0, and subgroup analyses were performed to investigate the region-, season- and sample source-specific pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish. In addition, the sensitivity and publication bias of all included studies were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 40 eligible literatures were included in this study, including 37 Chinese literatures and 3 English literatures, and there were 10 high-quality literatures, 27 moderate-quality literatures and 3 low-quality literatures. A total of 53 species containing 37 959 freshwater fish were reported in these 40 studies, and 73.58% (39/53) of freshwater fish species were identified with C. sinensis infections. Meta-analysis showed 23.5% [95% CI: (0.19, 0.28)] pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish in mainland China, and subgroup analyses higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish in northeastern China [35.7%, 95% CI: (0.22, 0.50)] than in central [25.9%, 95% CI: (0.04, 0.48)] and southern China [20.6%, 95% CI: (0.09, 0.32)], higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish sampled in spring [44.1%, 95% CI: (0.35, 0.53)] than in autumn [6.7%, 95% CI: (0.05, 0.08)] and summer [3.3%, 95% CI: (-0.01, 0.07)], and higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish sampled from natural water [25.2%, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.33)] than from retail trades [22.2%, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.28)] and breeding chain [12.3%, 95% CI: (0.03, 0.22)]. However, all included studies had a publication bias with a low sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of C. sinensis infections is high in freshwater fish in mainland China, and there are still challenges for clonorchiasis control. Reinforcement of health education, diagnostics development and food safety supervision is recommended in future clonorchiasis control programs.

Suprafascial plane endoscopy versus open carpal tunnel release for idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome: Use of the Accordion Severity Grading System. HAND SURGERY & REHABILITATION 2021; 41:113-118.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of modified endoscopic technique with a single portal from an external carpal tunnel approach for surgical operations in a suprafascial plane superficial to the transverse carpal ligament. Reversible nerve injury risk is threefold greater with a conventional endoscopic method than with open carpal tunnel release (OCTR), and this suprafascial plane endoscopic release (SPER) should circumvent the problem of hardware in the carpal tunnel encountered with the conventional endoscopic method and liable to cause iatrogenic damage to the median nerve. However, the surgical consequences of the new technique have not been studied. To fill this gap, a retrospective therapeutic study was conducted to compare negative outcomes versus open surgery. The Accordion Severity Grading System was used to grade complications from 0 to 3 according to necessity of treatment. Sequela and failure rates were also compared between the SPER and OCTR groups. Eighty-eight cases in 72 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (ICTS) met the inclusion criteria. SPER was performed in 28 hands in 27 patients, and OCTR in 60 hands in 49 patients. The results showed no significant difference in complication, sequela, or failure rates between groups (p > 0.05). Suprafascial plane endoscopic release, has certain advantages over the open method and was validated as a safe and effective method of treating ICTS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR) versus unilateral recession and resection (RR) for the treatment of patients with basic-type intermittent exotropia (IXT). METHODS We systematically searched the EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases for relevant studies published before April 2020 with no language restrictions. Related studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included. The primary outcomes were success rate and mean postoperative deviation. Odds ratios (ORs) and weighted mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS From 1243 screened articles, a total of 10 studies involving 967 patients were included in the analysis. No differences were observed in success rates between the BLR and RR groups at 1-day to 1-week postoperatively (OR: 0.9, 95% CI: 0.53 to 1.53, p = 0.69), or at 6-month postoperatively (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.59 to 2.11, p = 0.74), or at the last follow-up visit (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.44 to 1.34, p = 0.34). The unsatisfactory effects (the overcorrection and undercorrection rates) between the two groups were comparable. In addition, there were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative deviation at 1-day to 1-week postoperatively (MD: 0.03, 95% CI: -1.32 to 1.27, p = 0.97), or at 6-month postoperatively (MD: 1.42, 95% CI: -0.43 to 3.27, p = 0.13) or at the last follow-up visit (MD: 0.29, 95% CI: -1.39 to 1.97, p = 0.74). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis provides evidence that both the BLR and RR procedures have similar efficacy for the treatment of basic-type IXT.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although there are many indicators to assess nutritional status, a more comprehensive and objective indicator is still needed in clinical practice. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and clinical outcomes in patients with critically ill stroke.
Methods
Subjects who were diagnosed as stroke in the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2001 and 2012 were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) III database. PNI was calculated as 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (per mm3). The multivariate logistic regression and the Cox regression analysis were performed to assess the impact of PNI on 3-month and 4-year mortality in stroke patients.
Results
A total of 624 subjects were included in this study. Compared with the high-PNI group, those in the Low PNI group had lower body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count and albumin. On the contrary, Age, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine (Cre), simplified acute physiologic scoreII (SAPSII) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score of the low PNI group were higher than the high PNI group. After adjusting for other confounders, PNI was independently associated with 3-month mortality (adjusted odds ratio = 1.910; 95% confidence interval, 1.244–2.933; P=0.003). By the Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients in the low PNI group presented significantly shorter survival time and higher death rate. The Cox regression model indicated low PNI as an independent risk factor of 4-year all-cause mortality of stroke patients (hazard ratio = 1.824; 95% CI, 1.340–2.483; P<0.001).
Conclusions
Low PNI is independently associated with short-term and long-term prognosis in patients with critically ill stroke.

Abstract
Kidney diseases are becoming an emerging public health problem. In order to further explore the etiology of various kidney diseases, we improved the methods of isolation of primary cultures of mouse renal tubular epithelial cells. At the first stage, the kidneys were perfused with collagenase solution. To this end, the superior mesenteric artery, celiac artery and thoracic aorta were ligated and perfusion was performed through the abdominal aorta. Then, the cells were isolated ex vivo and their integrity, purity, viability, and concentration were evaluated. The proposed cost-effective and simple method provides high purity and high concentration of primary renal epithelial cells for molecular biology studies of the kidneys.
