Abstract
The efficient conversion of carbon dioxide, a major air pollutant, into ethanol or higher alcohols is a big challenge in heterogeneous catalysis, generating great interest in both basic scientific research and commercial applications. Here, we report the facilitated methanol synthesis and the enabled ethanol synthesis from carbon dioxide hydrogenation on a catalyst generated by codepositing Cs and Cu on a ZnO(0001̅) substrate. A combination of catalytic testing, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements, and calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation was used. The results of XPS showed a clear change in the reaction mechanism when going from Cs/Cu(111) to a Cs/Cu/ZnO(0001̅) catalyst. The Cs-promoting effect on C-C coupling is a result of a synergy among Cs, Cu, and ZnO components that leads to the presence of CHx and CHyO species on the surface. According to the DFT-based KMC simulations, the deposition of Cs introduces multifunctional sites with a unique structure at the Cu-Cs-ZnO interface, particularly being able to promote the interaction with CO2 and thus the methanol synthesis predominantly via the formate pathway. More importantly, it tunes the CHO binding strongly enough to facilitate the HCOOH decomposition to CHO via the formate pathway, but weakly enough to allow further hydrogenation to methanol. The fine-tuning of CHO binding also enables a close alignment of a CHO pair to facilitate the C-C coupling and eventually ethanol synthesis. Our study opens new possibilities to allow the highly active and selective conversion of carbon dioxide to higher alcohols on widely used and low-cost Cu-based catalysts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long non-coding RNA SUMO1P3 has been reported to act as an oncogene in the tumorigenesis of several types of human malignancy. However, to the best of our knowledge, the exact biological functions and potential mechanism of lncRNA SUMO1P3 in glioma remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of SUMO1P3 in glioma and to explore the underlying mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS The present study examined SUMO1P3 expression in glioma tissues and cell lines using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assays were used to examine the effects of SUMO1P3 on the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells, respectively. Furthermore, Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of proteins in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. RESULTS The expression level of SUMO1P3 was higher in glioma tissues compared with corresponding adjacent normal tissues. In addition, a high expression level of SUMO1P3 was significantly associated with clinical progression and poor survival for patients with glioma. Furthermore, the knockdown of SUMO1P3 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of U87 and U251 cells. In addition, the knockdown of SUMO1P3 inhibits glioma growth in vivo. Finally, the knockdown of SUMO1P3 inhibited the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and reduced the expression levels of active β-catenin, C-myc, and cyclin D1 in U87 and U251 cells. By contrast, the overexpression of SUMO1P3 promoted glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. CONCLUSIONS SUMO1P3 promotes glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and may be involved in Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
Adenoid hypertrophy is a pathological hyperplasia of the adenoids, which may cause snoring and apnea, as well as impede breathing during sleep. The lateral cephalogram is commonly used by dentists to screen for adenoid hypertrophy, but it is tedious and time-consuming to measure the ratio of adenoid width to nasopharyngeal width for adenoid assessment. The purpose of this study was to develop a screening tool to automatically evaluate adenoid hypertrophy from lateral cephalograms using deep learning. We proposed the deep learning model VGG-Lite, using the largest data set (1,023 X-ray images) yet described to support the automatic detection of adenoid hypertrophy. We demonstrated that our model was able to automatically evaluate adenoid hypertrophy with a sensitivity of 0.898, a specificity of 0.882, positive predictive value of 0.880, negative predictive value of 0.900, and F1 score of 0.889. The comparison of model-only and expert-only detection performance showed that the fully automatic method (0.07 min) was about 522 times faster than the human expert (36.6 min). Comparison of human experts with or without deep learning assistance showed that model-assisted human experts spent an average of 23.3 min to evaluate adenoid hypertrophy using 100 radiographs, compared to an average of 36.6 min using an entirely manual procedure. We therefore concluded that deep learning could improve the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of evaluating adenoid hypertrophy from lateral cephalograms.

Abstract
Intracellular Aβ (iAβ) expression, extracellular Aβ (eAβ) plaque formation and microglial reactivity are characteristic neuropathological events of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and have been detected in several transgenic mouse models of this disease. In this work we decided to investigate the early (2-7 months of age) development of these phenomena at both regional and cellular levels in 5XFAD mice, a severe transgenic mouse model of AD. We demonstrated that 1) Aβ pathology develops in many but not all brain regions, 2) iAβ is transient and almost always followed by eAβ in grey matter regions, and the respective levels are roughly proportional, and 3) in about 1/3 of the grey matter regions with Aβ pathology and in several white matter regions, eAβ plaques can appear where no iAβ-positive structures were detected. We also showed that male and female mice share a similar regional and cellular pattern of Aβ pathology development that is more prominent in females. Early iAβ is associated to the activation of microglia, while subsequent formation of eAβ plaques is associated with markedly increased density of microglial cells that acquire a characteristic clustered phenotype. Present analysis is relevant to set a reference for pathophysiological studies and to define specific targets for the test of therapeutic interventions in this widely used AD transgenic model.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the value of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the vessel wall (VWI) for differentiating moyamoya disease (MMD) from atherosclerotic moyamoya syndrome (AS-MMS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients with MMD or AS-MMS were assessed retrospectively by two independent raters regarding and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) stage grading score; collateral development in the lateral fissure and basal ganglia on MRA; and pattern of the thickening of the arterial wall; presence, degree, and pattern of enhancement; presence and distribution of deep tiny flow voids (DTFVs) and collateral development in the lateral fissure and basal ganglia on VWI. After univariate analysis between the two groups, logistic regression models based on imaging findings of MRA or VWI were implemented respectively, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to compare the discriminatory power of the two imaging methods for diagnosis of MMD. Interrater agreement was analysed using an unweighted Cohen's κ or interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS MMD manifested as more concentric thickening, more homogeneous enhancement, higher presence of DTFV, smaller outer-wall boundary area of stenosis or occlusion, and smaller remodelling index on VWI. After Bonferroni-Holm correction for multiple comparisons, for AS-MMS, collaterals in both the lateral fissure and basal ganglia were not usually present on either MRA or VWI. The diagnostic performance of the multivariate logistic regression model based on VWI with an accuracy of 87.1% for classification was higher than MRA. Interrater agreement was moderate or substantial for all the imaging findings. CONCLUSIONS VWI might be a useful and feasible method for differentiating MMD from AS-MMS and a prospective tool for guiding first-line treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To evalutate the safety and efficacy of infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping robot-assisted laparoscopic liver resection. Methods: All data about 24 patients with robotic liver resection at Hepatic Surgery Center,Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology between February 2015 and December 2017 were collected and analyzed. These patients were divided into two groups based on different methods to decrease central venous pressure. Eight patients(6 males and 2 females,aged 49 years(range:50 to 56 years)) were applied with infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping,and the other 16 matched cases (15 males and 1 female,aged 53 years(range:38 to 69 years)) were categorized into lowering central venous pressure group. Intraoperative blood loss,blood transfusion,intraoperative hemodynamic parameters,postoperative complications,and renal function were compared by t-test,non-parametric test,χ2 test,or Fisher exact test. Results: There was significantly difference in the intraoperative blood loss between the infrahepatic vena cava clamping group and the lowering central venous group(200(220) ml (range:100 to 400 ml) vs. 750(800) ml (range:100 to 2 000 ml),Z=‒2.169,P=0.030). The clamping time of portal triad and infrahepatic inferior vena cava were 24 (18) minutes and 29 (20) minutes in the infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping group, and portal triad clamping time was 23 (23) minutes in the low central venous group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (Z=‒0.323, P=0.747). There was no intraoperative blood transfusion in the infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping group, and 5 cases in the low central venous group, with a transfusion volume of 1.5(1.5)U. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=‒3.353, P=0.001). However, the mean arterial pressure in the infrahepatic vena cava clamping group decreased from (88.6±4.9) mmHg to (67.4±3.8) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), which was lower than that of lowering central venous group (72.4±3.3) mmHg (t=2.315,P=0.003). And there were no significant differences related to postoperative complications rate or hepatic and renal function in both groups. Conclusion: The infrahepatic inferior vena cava technology is safe and feasible to decrease central venous pressure during robotic liver resections,which will not affect the recovery of hepatic and renal functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE By establishing osteoporosis (OP) model in rats, the specific regulatory effect of simvastatin on promoting the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into osteoblasts through the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)/Smads signaling pathway was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to establish the OP model by performing ovariectomy. The rats were divided into OP model group (OP group, n=15), 10-7 mmol/L simvastatin treatment group (SIM group, n=15), and normal control group (Control group, n=15). After the experimental period, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to observe the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1. Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was adopted to detect the contents of the differentiation-associated genes [runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and Osterix (Osx)]. Later, the bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs) were selected and divided into Control group, 10-7 mol/L simvastatin group (SIM group), and osteoinduction medium group (OM group). Cell morphology in each group was observed. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was performed to determine the proliferation activity of BMSCs. ELISA was performed to measure the level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). RT-PCR was conducted to examine the levels of key differentiation-associated gene RUNX2 and those in BMP-2/Smads pathway. Moreover, the Western blotting was adopted to analyze the expressions of RUNX2 and genes in BMP-2/Smads pathway. RESULTS The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1 in OP group were remarkably higher than those in the Control group, and their levels in the SIM group were close to those in the Control group. The elevated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of the key differentiation-associated factors RUNX2, osteoprotegerin (OPG), osteopontin (OPN), and Osx were observed in the SIM group. In vitro cell culture revealed that the cells were in a favorable growth status in the SIM group and OM group, mostly manifesting in fusiform or spindle shape, and proliferated rapidly. In addition, the ALP level notably increased in the two groups compared with that in the Control group (p<0.05). Both SIM group and OM group had evidently higher mRNA expression levels of RUNX2, OPG, OPN, and Osx than those in the Control group (p<0.05), consistent with the expression trends of the genes in BMP-2/Smads pathway. The Western blotting indicated that the expression levels of RUNX2 and genes in BMP-2/Smads pathway in the SIM group were significantly higher than those in the Control group. CONCLUSIONS Simvastatin can promote the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts in the OP rat model through the BMP-2/Smads signaling pathway.

Abstract
Post-combustion flue gas desulfurization and denitrification technologies are essential in achieving the full compliance of fine particulate matter (PM2.5, aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm) air quality standards by 2030 in China as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are the main precursors of PM2.5. Some studies have addressed the performance evaluation of desulfurization technology, but none included the water-soluble ions (sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), etc.) as an indicator nor accounted for uncertainty involved. In this study, we present a multilevel fuzzy method that integrates the analytic hierarchy process with fuzzy theory, defines SO42-concentration as a new environmental indicator, and is supplemented with an uncertainly analysis and apply the method for the techno-economic and environmental evaluation of desulfurization and denitrification technologies in six typical enterprises (including two power plants and three industrial production plants and a waste incineration plant) in Chengdu, China. The evaluation shows that first, the fluctuating desulfurization rate and the dosage leads to changed ranking of the economic and technical secondary evaluation results, with the overall comprehensive evaluation ranks unchanged. Second, from the perspective of environmental protection agency and the public, if the environmental indicators are empowered, the lower the SO42-concentration of an enterprise, the better its evaluation ranking will be and vice versa. Third, if we re-empower from the perspective of the enterprise, under the condition that the technical feasibility is met and the environmental indicators are basically up to standard, the low-cost removing process is more likely to be the tendency of the enterprise. In summary, the findings of the study have led to the conclusions that (1) for the power industry, the integration of desulfurization, denitrification, and dedusting technologies should be promoted rigorously; (2) the non-power industry should continue the end-of-pipe treatment and environmental protection regulatory policies of the power industry; and (3) the energy industry structure should be optimized with enhanced end-of-pipe control technologies to achieve deep reduction of air pollutants.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between parental socioeconomic status (SES) and preschoolers' consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB). Methods: In June 2018, all preschoolers from 15 kindergartens were selected from the jurisdiction of Education Commission in Dongcheng District of Beijing by using an equal-proportion stratified cluster sampling method in the study. A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the parents of preschoolers to obtain the basic information of preschoolers and parents, the consumption situation of preschoolers' sugar-sweetened beverages and the perception of parents to SSB. A tatol of 3 217 preschoolers were finally included in the analysis. A generalized structural equation model was used to analyze the relationship between preschoolers' consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and their parents' socioeconomic status and the mediating effect of their cognition of sugar-sweetened beverages. The size of mediating effect was estimated by using deviation correction non-parameter percentile Bootstrap method. Results: The age of 3 217 preschoolers was (4.23±0.67) years, of which 52.6% (n=1 692) were boys, and 77.62% (n=2 497) were SSB consumers. Among the parents of 3 217 preschoolers, fathers and mothers accounted for 24.90% (n=801) and 75.10% (n=2 416), and the M (P25, P75) scores of SES were 66.7 (62.5, 69.5) and 69.5 (64.6, 71.4), respectively. The proportion of parents who took the initiative to learn about their children's consumption of SSB, lacked confidence in restricting preschooler's consumption of SSB and read nutrition labels before purchasing food was 74.08% (n=2 383), 82.90% (n=2 667) and 36.24% (n=1 166), respectively. The generalized structural equation model showed that after adjusting for preschoolers' gender, age, body mass index (BMI) of preschoolers and their parents, preschoolers' consumption of SSB was negatively associated with their parents' SES score [path coefficient (95%CI):-4.69×10-2 (-6.56×10-2,-2.69×10-2) ]. The mediating effect of parents' perception of SSB consumption could explain 48.71% of the total effect [path coefficient (95%CI):-2.28×10-2 (-3.54×10-2, -1.10×10-2)]. Conclusion: The consumption of SSB in preschoolers is negatively associated with their parent's SES, and this relationship is partially mediated by parent's perception of SSB consumption.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Lights maintain the day and night rhythm to set patients’ “wake-up cycle” and to stabilize their physiological functions, which may be expected to improve sleep. This study was aimed to investigate the relations between sleep quality and daytime light exposure in stroke patient during rehabilitation.
Methods
A cross-sectional study design was adopted and 120 stroke patients were recruited from rehabilitation wards of two medical centers and 116 patients completed this study. Research instruments including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Sleep Log, and Somnowatch (Germany) for actigaphy sleep and light were used to collect data and urinary melatonin concentration were measured.
Results
47.4% of the patients had poor sleep quality (PSQI>5), 74.1% had actigraphic sleep efficiency less than 85%, and 90.5% waked more than 30 minutes after sleep onset. The average exposure time at lower level light (≤149 lux) were 288.8 minutes, accounting for 48% of the day (8:00-18:00). Compared to lower light exposure group (less than 319.5 min at >150 lux), those who exposed to higher level light (more than 319.5 min at >150 lux) had increased 52.1 minutes in actigraphic total sleep time (TST, t=-2.134, p=0.035), increased 8% in actigraphic sleep efficiency (SE, t=-2.053, p=0.042), and decreased 41.1 minutes in actigraphic wake-after-sleep-onset (WASO, t=2.209, p=0.029). Urinary melatonin concentration increased 52.7 pg/ml, but not statistically significant (t=-1.277, p=0.205). Result of multiple regression analysis showed that after controlling for age, gender, post-stroke complications, and environmental interference, time of bright light exposure significantly affected subjective sleep satisfaction (p=0.014), TST (p=0.04), SE (p=0.041), and WASO (p=0.026).
Conclusion
Increasing time of bright illumination (≥150 lux) during daytime may improve sleep quality. Results of this study provide empirical references for non-drug intervention to improve sleep quality in patients with stroke.
Support
This study was supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, MOST 105-2628-B-040 -005 -MY2.

Abstract
Highly selective oxidation of methane to methanol has long been challenging in catalysis. Here, we reveal key steps for the pro-motion of this reaction by water when tuning the selectivity of a well-defined CeO2/Cu2O/Cu(111) catalyst from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to methanol under a reaction environment with methane, oxygen, and water. Ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that water added to methane and oxygen led to surface methoxy groups and accelerated methanol production. These results were consistent with density functional theory calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, which showed that water preferentially dissociates over the active cerium ions at the CeO2-Cu2O/Cu(111) interface. The adsorbed hydroxyl species blocked O-O bond cleavage that would dehydrogenate methoxy groups to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and it directly converted this species to methanol, while oxygen reoxidized the reduced surface. Water adsorption also displaced the produced methanol into the gas phase.
