Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Limitations of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration include nondiagnostic, indeterminate cytology and false-negative results. The BRAF V600E mutation is a specific biomarker for papillary thyroid carcinoma. This study aimed to investigate the additional diagnostic role of the BRAF V600E mutation in high-risk thyroid nodules with benign cytology results. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 787 high-risk nodules in 720 patients underwent ultrasound-fine-needle aspiration. A subsequent BRAF V600E mutation test was performed on thyroid nodules with benign cytology. Final pathology confirmed thyroid nodules with benign cytology that were positive for the BRAF V600E mutation. Ultrasound was performed on thyroid nodules with benign cytology results that were negative for the BRAF V600E mutation. Fine-needle aspiration was repeated on thyroid nodules with enlarged size or changed ultrasound features. RESULTS Among the 787 nodules, 292 thyroid nodules had benign cytology results with 256 nodules negative for the BRAF V600E mutation and 36 nodules positive for the BRAF V600E mutation. Thirty-one nodules positive for the BRAF V600E mutation were confirmed malignant, and 5 nodules were confirmed benign by pathology. Fine-needle aspiration was repeated on 11 enlarged thyroid nodules with benign cytology findings that were negative for the BRAF V600E mutation. The results of repeat fine-needle aspiration were 4 benign nodules, 2 follicular neoplasms or suspected follicular neoplasms, 3 suspected malignancies, and 2 malignant nodules. Among the 36 thyroid nodules positive for the BRAF V600E mutation, 25 (69.4%) had ≥2 suspicious ultrasound features and 11 (30.6%) nodules had 1 suspicious ultrasound feature. CONCLUSIONS The BRAF V600E mutation test can detect papillary thyroid carcinomas that might be missed by fine-needle aspiration. We recommend that fine-needle aspiration be routinely accompanied by the BRAF V600E mutation test in high-risk thyroid nodules with ≥2 suspicious ultrasound features.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thrombus permeability assessed on conventional CTA is associated with neurologic outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate whether dynamic CTA can improve the accuracy of thrombus permeability assessment and its predictive value for outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who had occlusion of the M1 segment of the middle artery cerebral artery and underwent pretreatment perfusion CT. Thrombus permeability, determined by thrombus attenuation increase (TAI), was assessed on 26-phase dynamic CTA derived from perfusion CT. TAImax was defined as the maximum TAI among phases; TAIpeak, as TAI of peak arterial phase; TAIcon, as TAI on phase 13. Good outcome was defined as a 3-month mRS score of ≤2. RESULTS One hundred four patients were enrolled in the final analysis. The median TAImax, TAIpeak, and TAIcon were 30.1 HU (interquartile range, 13.0-50.2 HU), 9.5 HU (interquartile range, -1.6-28.7 HU), and 6.6 HU (interquartile range, -5.1-24.4 HU), respectively. Multivariable regression analyses showed that TAImax (OR = 1.027; 95% CI, 1.007-1.048; P = .008), TAIpeak (OR = 1.029; 95% CI, 1.005-1.054; P = .020), and TAIcon (OR = 1.026; 95% CI, 1.002-1.051; P = .037) were independently associated with good outcome. The areas under the ROC curve of TAImax, TAIpeak, and TAIcon in predicting good outcome were 0.734, 0.701, and 0.658, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Thrombus permeability assessed on dynamic CTA could be a better predictor of outcome after reperfusion therapy than that assessed on conventional single-phase CTA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate effects of the extracts from soothing-liver and invigorating-spleen formulas on the injury due to oxidative stress, mediated by the Nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2)-Antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway, in the hepatocytes of rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by high-fat diet. METHODS Soothing-liver and invigorating-spleen formula mixtures were prepared for five groups: normal, model, soothing-liver formula group (SLG), invigorating-spleen formula group (ISG), integrated formula group (IG). The rat model of NAFLD was induced by feeding rats a high-fat diet (HFD). After 16 weeks, the hepatic tissue was examined following Haematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining and with Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Levels of hepatic lipids, serum lipids and hepatic functions were measured using a biochemical analyser. Hepatocytes were isolated from the livers of rats and were identified by cellar immunohistochemistry, cellular immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The expression levels of Nrf2, Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 (Keap-1), haeme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) mRNAs were assessed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Nrf2, Keap-1, HO-1 and NQO1 proteins were measured by Western blotting. Finally, the levels of oxidative stress factors Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), malonaldehyde (MDA) and Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in hepatocytes were measured by WST-1, TBA and colorimetry. RESULTS The H & E and TEM results showed that the NAFLD model rats successfully reproduced typical pathogenetic and histopathological features. The liver function and levels of hepatic lipids and serum lipids from the model rats were dramatically increased. Compared with the model group, the levels of hepatic lipids, serum lipids and hepatic function in the treatment groups were ameliorated to different degrees. The yields of purified hepatocytes in each rat were 4-5 ¡Á 108. The viability of the isolated hepatocytes was higher than 95%, with a purity over 93.2%. Cellular immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the hepatocytes were brown, while in the cellular immunofluorescence analysis, the hepatocytes showed green fluorescence. The expression levels of Nrf2, Keap-1, HO-1 and NQO1 mRNA and protein in the hepatocytes were significantly higher in the model group than in the normal group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of Nrf2, Keap-1, HO-1 and NQO-1 mRNAs and proteins in all treatment groups increased, especially in the IG (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The extracts from soothing-liver and invigorating-spleen formulas may protect the liver against the injury induced by oxidative stress in hepatocytes by influencing the Nrf2-ARE pathway, which may be the mechanism having the potential for prevention and treatment of NAFLD.

Abstract
The agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China is one of the areas most sensitive to global temperature change. To analyze the temporal and spatial trends of extreme temperature events in this area, we calculated the values of 16 extreme-temperature indices from 1960 to 2016 based on data from 45 national meteorological stations. We found that the coldest-temperature indices decreased significantly and the warmest-temperature indices increased significantly. The warming of night temperatures contributed more than warming of day temperatures to the overall warming trend. In addition, the warm-temperature indices appeared to be increasing since the late 1980s and early 1990s. Overall, though the four extremal indices showed an increasing trend, the rate of change in the minimum temperature was greater than that of the maximum temperature; thus, the minimum temperature contributed most strongly to the overall temperature increases. The growing season is being prolonged in higher-elevation areas, but vegetation maturation in lower-elevation areas has been accelerated by the high temperatures, potentially leading to a shorter growing season at low altitudes. However, the impacts of land-use changes caused by human activities on the temperature increases will require additional study.

Abstract
The spatial pattern of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) densities plays a profound important role in estimating carbon and nitrogen budgets. Naiman Banner located in northern China was chosen as research site, a total of 332 soil samples were taken in a depth of 100 cm from the low hilly land in the southern part, sandy land in the middle part and an alluvial plain in the northern part of the county. The results showed that SOC and TN density initially decreased and then increased from the north to the south, The highest densities, were generally in the south, with the lowest generally in the middle part. The SOC and TN densities in cropland were significantly greater than those in woodland and grassland in the alluvial plains and for Naiman as a whole. The woodland SOC and TN density were higher than those of grassland in the low hilly land, and higher densities of SOC and TN in grassland than woodland in the sandy land and low hilly land. There were significant differences in SOC and TN densities among the five soil types of Cambisols, Arenosols, Gleysols, Argosols, and Kastanozems. In addition, SOC and TN contents generally decreased with increasing soil depth, but increased below a depth of 40 cm in the Cambisols and became roughly constant at this depth in the Kastanozems. There is considerable potential to sequester carbon and nitrogen in the soil via the conversion of degraded sandy land into woodland and grassland in alluvial plain, and more grassland should be established in sandy land and low hilly land.

Abstract
Objective:To ascertain the effects of a new method of photochemical reaction in vestibular function in guinea pigs.Method:Local photochemical reaction was initiated by systemic injection of rose bengal(20mg), photoillumination of the vestibule through medial wall of epitympanum for 30 minutes was started immediately after the injection of rose bengal, with a optic fiber connected to a xenon light (wavelength, 540nm; photointense, 500-600 mW/cm ²). There were 20 guinea pigs divided random equally into 2 groups. Group 1 was injected with rose bengal. Group 2 was control, injected with physiological saline solution. The ice caloric tests were performed on the second day.Result:The test group (7 ears) and the control group (6 ears) with test nystagmus showed mean frequencies were(2.0±0.33)times/s and(3.7±0.33)times/s,the mean amplitude were (3.1±0.39)mm and (3.5±0.54)mm,and the mean duration were (44.7±17.22)s and (62.0±7.22)s respectively.The nystagmus frequency difference was statistically significant, but the amplitude and the duration of the nystagmus were not significantly different. There was no obvious spontaneous nystagmus in the two groups, and there were negative results of ice water test (3 ears in the test group and 4 ears in the control group).Conclusion:Photochemical reaction can induce the ischemic state of the vestibule system in guinea pig, and produce an acute vestibular dysfunction, and ice water test shows that the frequency of nystagmus is reduced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The multisegment clot sign has been observed at the site of large-artery occlusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to assess its occurrence rate and relationship with stroke etiologies in patients with acute intracranial large-artery occlusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who had acute intracranial large-artery occlusion and underwent perfusion CT within 8 hours after stroke onset. The multisegment clot sign was assessed on dynamic CT angiography derived from perfusion CT. The stroke etiologies were defined by the international Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. Poisson regression analyses and diagnostic testing were used to investigate the relationship between the multisegment clot sign and stroke etiologies. RESULTS Finally, 194 patients with intracranial large-artery occlusion were enrolled. According to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria, 110 (56.7%) patients were diagnosed with cardioembolism; 43 (22.2%), with large-artery atherosclerosis; and 41 (21.1%), with undetermined etiology. The multisegment clot sign was found in 74 (38%) patients. Poisson regression analysis showed that the presence of the multisegment clot sign was significantly higher in patients with cardioembolism than in those with large-artery atherosclerosis (52.7% versus 9.3%; prevalence ratio, 1.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-2.90; P = .037). For determined etiologies, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the multisegment clot sign for predicting cardioembolism were 52.7%, 90.7%, 93.5%, and 42.9%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The presence of the multisegment clot sign on dynamic CTA specifically indicates intracranial large-artery occlusion caused by an embolism from a cardiac source, which may be useful for acute management and secondary prevention of stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a world-wide health problem, which leads to decreased bone strength and increased susceptibility to fractures. Puerarin, a phytoestrogen extracted from Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi, has been identified as a promising intervention for preventing bone loss and promoting bone regeneration. However, the underlying mechanisms for its anabolic action are still not clear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of puerarin on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and the possible molecular mechanism mediating its action. METHODS Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and intragastric administration on ovariectomized(OVX) rats were used to study the anti-osteoporotic function of puerarin. The involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways was determined. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that at optimal concentration, puerarin could promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. This induction was mediated by MAPK signaling pathway. Further detailed study revealed that ERK1/2-Runx2 signaling pathway had more prominent effect than p38 signaling pathway in puerarin-induced differentiation of BMSCs toward the osteogenic phenotype. We also found that puerarin protected against reduction in bone mineral density and improved femur trabecular bone structure in ovariectomized rats. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed the functional mechanism of puerarin in promoting osteogenic differentiation which involved ERK1/2 and p38-MAPK pathway and provided experimental evidence for the potential application of puerarin for estrogen replacement therapy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations are among the most important oncogenic drivers in many major cancer types, such as melanoma, lung, colorectal and pancreatic cancer. There is currently no effective therapy for the treatment of RAS mutant cancers. LY3009120, a pan-RAF and RAF dimer inhibitor advanced to clinical study has been shown to inhibit both RAS and BRAF mutant cell proliferation in vitro and xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Abemaciclib, a CDK4/6-selective inhibitor, is currently in phase III studies for ER-positive breast cancer and KRAS mutant lung cancer. In this study, we found that combinatory treatment with LY3009120 and abemaciclib synergistically inhibited proliferation of tumor cells in vitro and led to tumor growth regression in xenograft models with a KRAS, NRAS or BRAF mutation at the doses of two drugs that were well tolerated in combination. Further in vitro screen in 328 tumor cell lines revealed that tumor cells with KRAS, NRAS or BRAF mutation, or cyclin D activation are more sensitive, whereas tumor cells with PTEN, PIK3CA, PIK3R1 or retinoblastoma (Rb) mutation are more resistant to this combination treatment. Molecular analysis revealed that abemaciclib alone inhibited Rb phosphorylation partially and caused an increase of cyclin D1. The combinatory treatment cooperatively demonstrated more complete inhibition of Rb phosphorylation, and LY3009120 suppressed the cyclin D1 upregulation mediated by abemaciclib. These results were further verified by CDK4/6 siRNA knockdown. Importantly, the more complete phospho-Rb inhibition and cyclin D1 suppression by LY3009120 and abemaciclib combination led to more significant cell cycle G0/G1 arrest of tumor cells. These preclinical findings suggest that combined inhibition of RAF and d-cyclin-dependent kinases might provide an effective approach to treat patients with tumors harboring mutations in RAS or RAF genes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We conducted a meta-analysis to qualitatively summarize the evidence of the association between abdominal obesity and hip fracture risk. The results indicated that abdominal obesity as measured by waist circumference and waist-hip ratio might be associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. INTRODUCTION Epidemiological investigations evaluating the association of abdominal obesity with hip fracture risk have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to qualitatively summarize the evidence of the associations between waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, and hip circumference and the risk of hip fracture, respectively. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles published up to March 2017. Pooled relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with a random-effects model. Dose-response relationship was assessed by restricted cubic spline. RESULTS Seven studies involving 180,600 participants for hip circumference, six studies involving 199,828 participants for waist-hip ratio, and five studies involving 170,796 participants for waist circumference were finally included in this meta-analysis. The combined RRs with 95% CIs of hip fracture for the highest versus lowest category of waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, and hip circumference were 1.58 (95% CI 1.20-2.08), 1.32 (95% CI 1.15-1.52), and 0.87 (95% CI 0.74-1.02), respectively. For dose-response analysis, a nonlinear relationship was found (P nonlinearity < 0.001) between waist circumference and the risk of hip fracture, and a linear relationship (P nonlinearity = 0.911) suggested that the risk of hip fracture increased about 3.0% (1.03 (1.01-1.04)) for each 0.1 unit increment of waist-hip ratio. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggested that abdominal obesity as measured by waist circumference and waist-hip ratio might be associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. From a public health perspective, indicators of abdominal obesity may be usable predictors of hip fracture risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Resting-state functional MR imaging has been used for motor mapping in presurgical planning but never used intraoperatively. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of applying intraoperative resting-state functional MR imaging for the safe resection of gliomas using real-time motor cortex mapping during an operation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using interventional MR imaging, we conducted preoperative and intraoperative resting-state intrinsic functional connectivity analyses of the motor cortex in 30 patients with brain tumors. Factors that may influence intraoperative imaging quality, including anesthesia type (general or awake anesthesia) and tumor cavity (filled with normal saline or not), were studied to investigate image quality. Additionally, direct cortical stimulation was used to validate the accuracy of intraoperative resting-state fMRI in mapping the motor cortex. RESULTS Preoperative and intraoperative resting-state fMRI scans were acquired for all patients. Fourteen patients who successfully completed both sufficient intraoperative resting-state fMRI and direct cortical stimulation were used for further analysis of sensitivity and specificity. Compared with those subjected to direct cortical stimulation, the sensitivity and specificity of intraoperative resting-state fMRI in localizing the motor area were 61.7% and 93.7%, respectively. The image quality of intraoperative resting-state fMRI was better when the tumor cavity was filled with normal saline (P = .049). However, no significant difference between the anesthesia types was observed (P = .102). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the feasibility of using intraoperative resting-state fMRI for real-time localization of functional areas during a neurologic operation. The findings suggest that using intraoperative resting-state fMRI can avoid the risk of intraoperative seizures due to direct cortical stimulation and may provide neurosurgeons with valuable information to facilitate the safe resection of gliomas.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of sandblasting on bending strength and subcritical crack growth (SCG) under cyclic loading of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramics. Methods: After being polished, sixty bar-shaped specimens of Y-TZP (Wieland zirconia ceramics) were assigned to two groups (n=30) according to the random number table, the sandblasting group (SG) which was treated with sandblasting and the control group (CG) which remained untouched. In each group, half of the specimens (n=15) were subjected to bending strength test, and the results were examined by Weibull statistics and analyzed with ANOVA. The other 15 specimens in each group were subjected to fatigue tests. The results were examined by Weibull statistics and subcritical crack propagation rates were calculated. Results: The bending strengths of SG and CG were (1 291±133) and (1 140±124) MPa (F=10.117, P=0.004), and the Weibull modules of the two groups were 11.06 and 10.64 respectively. The crack growth rate of SCG of SG was lower than that of CG under the same cyclic loading. Conclusions: Proper sandblasting on Y-TZP ceramic can increase its bending strength and resistance to SCG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term efficacy of oral appliance treating of obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in different periods of treatment. METHODS A total of 55 patients were included in the study. Patients were all diagnosed with OSAHS by overnight polysomnography and all received oral appliance (OA) as the therapy. The OA positioned the mandible at 60%-70% of the maximal mandible advancement position and created a 4-5 mm incisor separation. The patients were instructed to wear the appliance during sleep, 6-8 hours per day, for 5-7 days per week. They were divided into four groups by the period of treatment, including less than 1 year group; 1-2 years group; 2-6 years group and 6-9 years group. The polysomnographic study was used to investigate the efficacy of the four groups. The outcome measures included the score on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), the longest apnea time and the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) levels during an overnight sleep. RESULTS The AHI decreased significantly in all the four groups. The less than 1 year group decreased from 24.50 (14.65, 54.05) to 7.40 (2.12,10.00) events/h (P<0.001); The 1-2 years group decreased from 19.50 (12.15, 39.23) to 1.80 (0.70, 6.58) events/h (P=0.001); The 2-6 years group decreased from 25.00 (11.41, 42.60) to 4.50 (1.35, 7.90) events/h (P=0.001); The 6-9 years group decreased from 26.2 (16.95, 47.45) to 4.00 (1.90, 26.70) events/h (P=0.043). The longest apnea decreased significantly in less than 1 year group, 1-2 years group and 2-6 years group. The longest apnea decreased from 57.00 (37.70, 61.50) to 25.00 (15.90, 33.50) seconds (P<0.001) in the less than 1 year group, from 41.00 (25.50, 62.26) to 13.10 (0.00, 22.10) seconds (P=0.001) in the 1-2 year group and from 42.50 (30.35, 58.15) to 15.60 (0.00, 28.10) seconds (P=0.003) in the 2-6 year group. The LSaO2 levels increased significantly in the less than 1 year group and 2-6 years group. The LSaO(2) levels rose significantly in the less than 1 year group, from 74.18%±7.96% to 84.06%±7.67% (P=0.001), and in the 2-6 years group, from 76.71%±10.98% to 84.06%±4.64% (P=0.006), The LSaO2 levels did not increase significantly in the 1-2 years and 6-9 years groups. Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the AHI, longest apnea time and LSaO(2) in 4 the groups. CONCLUSION The oral appliance is an effective therapy for patients with OSAHS in the long-term treatment. However, it's recommended to make appointments with patients as a follow-up supervision whether there is any efficacy decrease. And the oral appliance should be replaced if necessary.

Abstract
We report the successful synthesis and characterization of a new type I-II-V bulk form diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) Li(Zn,Mn,Cu)As, in which charge and spin doping are decoupled via (Cu,Zn) and (Mn,Zn) substitution at the same Zn sites. Ferromagnetic transition temperature up to ∼33 K has been observed with a coercive field ∼40 Oe for the 12.5% doping level. μSR measurements confirmed that the magnetic volume fraction reaches nearly 100% at 2 K, and the mechanism responsible for the ferromagnetic interaction in this system is the same as other bulk form DMSs.

Abstract
Evidence of a nonlinear transition from mitigation to suppression of the edge localized mode (ELM) by using resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in the EAST tokamak is presented. This is the first demonstration of ELM suppression with RMPs in slowly rotating plasmas with dominant radio-frequency wave heating. Changes of edge magnetic topology after the transition are indicated by a gradual phase shift in the plasma response field from a linear magneto hydro dynamics modeling result to a vacuum one and a sudden increase of three-dimensional particle flux to the divertor. The transition threshold depends on the spectrum of RMPs and plasma rotation as well as perturbation amplitude. This means that edge topological changes resulting from nonlinear plasma response plays a key role in the suppression of ELM with RMPs.

Abstract
Burn causes bone metabolic abnormality in most cases, including the changes in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, bone mass loss, and bone absorption, which results in decreased bone mineral density. These changes are sustainable for many years after burn and even cause growth retardation in burned children. The mechanisms of bone metabolic abnormality after burn include the increasing glucocorticoids due to stress response, a variety of cytokines and inflammatory medium due to inflammatory response, vitamin D deficiency, hypoparathyroidism, and bone loss due to long-term lying in bed. This article reviews the pathogenesis and regularity of bone metabolic abnormality after burn, the relationship between bone metabolic abnormality and burn area/depth, and the treatment of bone metabolic abnormality, etc. and discusses the research directions in the future.

Abstract
To establish a blue-light damage model of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Fourth-generation human RPE cells were randomly divided into two groups. In group A, cells were exposed to blue light (2000 ± 500 lux) for 0 (control), 3, 6, 9, and 12 h, and cell culture was stopped after 12 h. In group B, cells were exposed to blue light at the same intensity and time periods, but cell culture was stopped after 24 h. TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay was performed to determine the most suitable illuminating time with apoptotic index. Flow cytometry was used to determine apoptotic ratio of RPEs. In group A, the apoptotic index of cells that received 6, 9 and 12 h of blue light was higher than that of control. The apoptotic index of cells receiving 9 and 12 h was higher than that of 6 h (P = 0.000). In group B, the apoptotic index and RPE cell apoptosis ratio of cells exposed to 6, 9 and 12 h of blue light were higher than that of 3 h (P = 0.000); and cells receiving 9 and 12 h had higher values than that of 6 h. This study demonstrated that the best conditions to establish a blue light damage model of human retinal pigment epithelial cells in vitro are 2000 ± 500 lux light intensity for 6 h, with 24 h of cell culture post-exposure.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Despite the high burden of hip fracture in China, there is limited information on its management. This study investigated the management of hip fractures in a Beijing tertiary hospital and compared practice with that in 180 hospitals in the UK. The findings show a significant gap exists between the countries. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to determine if the management of older people with hip fractures in a Beijing tertiary hospital is comparable with the UK best practice guidelines for hip fracture management and the UK National Hip Fracture Database 2012, obtained from 180 hospitals. METHODS A retrospective audit was undertaken in a large tertiary care hospital in Beijing. Data were compared with the National Hip Fracture Database 2012 collected in 180 hospitals in the UK on the proportion of patients managed according to the UK Blue Book standards. RESULTS Sixty-six percent of patients were admitted to an orthopaedic ward within 24 h of fracture, while 100 % of patients in the UK were admitted to an orthopaedic ward within 24 h of arrival to an accident and emergency department. Only 8 % of patients received surgery within 48 h of admission compared with 83 % in the UK; 10 % received no surgery compared with 2.5 % in the UK; and 27 % received orthogeriatrician assessment compared with 70 % in the UK. New pressure ulcers developed in 2 % of patients compared with 3.7 % of those in the UK; whereas, 0.3 % of patients were assessed for osteoporosis treatment and 3.8 % received falls assessment, and comparable figures for the UK were 94 and 92 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Significant gaps exist in hip fracture management in the Beijing hospital compared with the best practice achieved in 180 UK hospitals, highlighting the need to implement and evaluate proactive strategies to increase the uptake of best practice hip fracture care in China.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of elliptic (v(2)) and triangular (v(3)) flow in high-multiplicity (3)He+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=200 GeV. Two-particle correlations, where the particles have a large separation in pseudorapidity, are compared in (3)He+Au and in p+p collisions and indicate that collective effects dominate the second and third Fourier components for the correlations observed in the (3)He+Au system. The collective behavior is quantified in terms of elliptic v(2) and triangular v(3) anisotropy coefficients measured with respect to their corresponding event planes. The v(2) values are comparable to those previously measured in d+Au collisions at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy. Comparisons with various theoretical predictions are made, including to models where the hot spots created by the impact of the three (3)He nucleons on the Au nucleus expand hydrodynamically to generate the triangular flow. The agreement of these models with data may indicate the formation of low-viscosity quark-gluon plasma even in these small collision systems.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are early events associated with dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous studies indicated that electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation is effective in protecting dopaminergic neurons from degeneration in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) mouse model of PD. In this study, we further characterized the effect of EA on MPTP-induced oxidative responses in the mouse dopamine system. We found that subacute administration of MPTP enhanced lipid and protein oxidation and reduced expression of endogenous antioxidant enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase and catalase) in the striatum. MPTP also reduced expression of an antioxidant transcription factor, nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), and Nrf2-regulated antioxidant enzymes (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate quinone oxidoreductase-1 and heme oxygenase-1) in the striatum and/or midbrain. Using human placental alkaline phosphatase (hPAP) as a reporter of Nrf2-regulated gene expression in hPAP transgenic mice, we found that MPTP suppressed hPAP expression in the striatum and midbrain. Application of EA at an effective frequency (100 Hz) was sufficient to reverse these changes induced by MPTP. In addition, EA reduced microglia activation and astrogliosis in the striatum and midbrain, increased tyrosine hydroxylase levels in the striatum, and improved vertical movement in MPTP mice. These results provide further evidence supporting that EA produces a series of anti-oxidative effects that effectively counteract with the oxidative stress in the nigrostriatal dopamine system induced by MPTP in a mouse model of PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Craniocervical artery dissection is the most common cause of ischemic stroke identified in young adults. For the diagnosis of craniocervical artery dissection, multisequence MR imaging is recommended but is time-consuming. Recently, investigators proposed a simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging technique allowing simultaneous noncontrast MRA and vessel wall imaging in a single scan. This study sought to investigate the feasibility of 3D simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage MR imaging in the characterization of craniocervical artery dissection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four symptomatic patients (mean age, 45.0 ± 16.1 years; 21 men) with suspected craniocervical artery dissection were recruited. The 3D simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage 3D TOF MRA and black-blood imaging sequences were performed on a 3T MR imaging scanner. The agreement between simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging and multisequence MR imaging in evaluating arterial dissection was determined. RESULTS Dissection was found to involve 1 artery in 22 patients and 2 arteries in 2 patients. The intramural hematoma and luminal occlusion were detected in 19 (79.2%) and 11 (45.8%) patients, respectively. In measuring stenosis, the Cohen κ value between 3D TOF MRA and simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging was 0.82 (P < .001). All intramural hematomas on multisequence imaging were successfully identified by simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging. CONCLUSIONS 3D simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging showed excellent agreement with multisequence MR imaging in evaluating luminal stenosis and intramural hematoma in patients with craniocervical artery dissection. The simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging saved nearly 50% of scanning time compared with multisequence MR imaging. Our findings suggest that 3D simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging might be an alternative, time-efficient diagnostic tool for craniocervical artery dissection.

Abstract
We report on the demonstration of photodetectors based on large scale two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) transition metal dichalcogenides. Excellent film uniformity and precise control of the MoS2 thickness down to a monolayer (~0.75nm) were achieved by magnetron sputtering synthesis approach. In particular, the photodetectors integrated with five MoS2 monolayers exhibit a high photoresponsivity of 1.8 A/W, an external quantum efficiency exceeding 260%, and a photodetectivity of ~5 x 10(8) Jones for a wavelength of 850 nm, surpassing the performance of mechanically exfoliated based photodetectors.

Abstract
We present azimuthal angular correlations between charged hadrons and energy deposited in calorimeter towers in central d+Au and minimum bias p+p collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The charged hadron is measured at midrapidity |η|<0.35, and the energy is measured at large rapidity (-3.7<η<-3.1, Au-going direction). An enhanced near-side angular correlation across |Δη|>2.75 is observed in d+Au collisions. Using the event plane method applied to the Au-going energy distribution, we extract the anisotropy strength v_{2} for inclusive charged hadrons at midrapidity up to p_{T}=4.5 GeV/c. We also present the measurement of v_{2} for identified π^{±} and (anti)protons in central d+Au collisions, and observe a mass-ordering pattern similar to that seen in heavy-ion collisions. These results are compared with viscous hydrodynamic calculations and measurements from p+Pb at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. The magnitude of the mass ordering in d+Au is found to be smaller than that in p+Pb collisions, which may indicate smaller radial flow in lower energy d+Au collisions.

Abstract
The plastid ribosome proteins (PRPs) play important roles in plastid protein biosynthesis, chloroplast differentiation and early chloroplast development. However, the specialised functions of individual protein components of the chloroplast ribosome in rice (Oryza sativa) remain unresolved. In this paper, we identified a novel rice PRP mutant named asl2 (Albino seedling lethality 2) exhibiting an albino, seedling death phenotype. In asl2 mutants, the alteration of leaf colour was associated with chlorophyll (Chl) content and abnormal chloroplast development. Through map-based cloning and complementation, the mutated ASL2 gene was isolated and found to encode the chloroplast 50S ribosome protein L21 (RPL21c), a component of the chloroplast ribosome large subunit, which was localised in chloroplasts. ASL2 was expressed at a higher level in the plumule and leaves, implying its tissue-specific expression. Additionally, the expression of ASL2 was regulated by light. The transcript levels of the majority of genes for Chl biosynthesis, photosynthesis and chloroplast development were strongly affected in asl2 mutants. Collectively, the absence of functional ASL2 caused chloroplast developmental defects and seedling death. This report establishes the important role of RPL21c in chloroplast development in rice.
