Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) are commonly used for treating psoriatic diseases; however, the risk of infection while receiving TNFis remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the infection risk in patients with psoriatic disease receiving TNFis. A prospectively registered systematic literature search was conducted in Medline (PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE and the ClinicalTrials.gov databases from inception to December 31, 2021. We included double-blind randomized controlled trials that compared TNFis or other biologics with placebo in adults with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. The primary outcomes included overall and serious infection risks, and secondary outcomes included upper respiratory infections and nasopharyngitis risks. The risk ratio of the dichotomous outcome was calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method with random effects, and heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q statistic and quantified using the I-squared statistic. A total of 48 studies with 15 464 patients with psoriatic diseases were included. The meta-analysis demonstrated a slightly increased overall infection risk (risk ratio = 1.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.15) but not serious infection risk (risk ratio = 0.95; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-1.49) among patients receiving TNFis. There were also no increased risks of upper respiratory infections (risk ratio = 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 0.94-1.28) or nasopharyngitis (risk ratio = 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-1.30). In subgroup analyses using the fixed effects model, only etanercept and certolizumab pegol were, respectively, associated with an increased risk of overall infection (RR = 1.14, 95% CI, 1.03-1.27) and upper respiratory infections (RR = 1.42, 95% CI, 1.02-1.98). In conclusion, evidence to date suggests an increased overall infection risk that is generally tolerable in patients with psoriatic diseases receiving TNFis. There are no increased risks of serious infections, upper respiratory infections or nasopharyngitis.

Background
Cryoballoon ablation is an important method for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation in treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Previous studies have shown that thawing time, but not freezing time or temperature, impacts PV reconnection during long-term follow-up. However, it is unknown whether the entire or only part of the thawing stage plays a critical role.
Purposes
This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the durability of PV isolation and the time of phase transition from ice to water indicated by thawing plateau (TP) time during a cryoballoon ablation.
Methods
In this retrospective study, 241 PVs from 71 patients who underwent a repeat AF ablation 526 (IQR: 412, 675) days after a cryoballoon ablation were analyzed. The predictive value of procedural parameters for the durability of PV isolation were evaluated. Definitions of different phases of the temperature-time curve are shown in Figure 1. TP Time is defined as the time from 0 to 10°C inside the balloon in the thawing period (the plateau on the curve).
Results
Reconnection was observed in 101 (41.9%) PVs of 53 patients (74.6%). Durable PV isolation was associated with significantly longer TP Time compared with PV reconnection (26.0 vs. 11.0 s, P<0.001). The proportion of durable PV isolations increased with TP Time in a dose-proportional manner (Figure 2). The cut point for PV reconnection was TP Time <15 s with a positive predictive value of 82.1% (sensitivity=63.4%, specificity=90.0%) while for durable PV isolation the cut point was TP Time >25 s with a positive predictive value of 84.6% (sensitivity=55.0%, specificity=86.1%). After the analysis of multivariable logistic regression, location of PV (P<0.01), and TP Time (P<0.05) were shown as independent predictors for durable PV isolation. None of nadir temperature, initial cooling time, effective freezing time, initial thawing time, or late warming time was independent predictor. Accumulated TP Time for all PVs showed a positive linear correlation with the plasma level of troponin T (ρ=0.624, P<0.01).
Conclusions
TP Time is an independent predictor for the durability of PV isolation, and it presents in a dose-proportional manner. TP Time <15 s predicts long-term reconnection while TP Time >25 s predicts durable PV isolation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the mechanism of reactive oxygen species/thioredoxin-interacting protein/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 (ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3) pathway in the skin injury of trichloroethylene (TCE) sensitized mice. Methods: In August 2020, 40 female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group (n=5) , solvent control group (n=5) , TCE treatment group (n=15) and TCE+(2-(2, 2, 6, 6-Tetrameyhylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-ylamino)-2-oxoethyl) triphenylphosphonium chloride (Mito TEMPO) treatment group (n=15) . The TCE sensitization model was established. Mice in the TCE treatment group and TCE+Mito TEMPO treatment group were divided into the sensitized positive group and the sensitized negative group according to the skin erythema and edema reactions on the back of the mice 24 h after the last stimulation. The mice were sacrificed 72 h after the last stimulation, the back skin of the mice was taken, and the skin lesions were observed. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression level of NLRP3, and the Western Blot was performed to detect the expression levels of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) , cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (Caspase 1) , Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and TXNIP proteins in the skin of the mice, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) kit was used to detect the level of intracellular ROS in the back skin tissue. Results: The sensitization rates of TCE treatment group and TCE+Mito TEMPO treatment group were 40.0% (6/15) and 33.3% (5/15) , respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) . The back skin of the mice in the TCE sensitized positive group was thickened and infiltrated by a large number of inflammatory cells. The number of mitochondria in the epidermis cells was significantly reduced, the mitochondrial crest disappeared and vacuolar degeneration occurred. TCE+Mito TEMPO sensitized positive group had less damage, more mitochondria and relatively normal cell structure. Compared with the solvent control group and corresponding sensitized negative groups, the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase 1, IL-1β, TXNIP proteins and the content of ROS in the TCE sensitized positive group and TCE+Mito TEMPO sensitized positive group were significantly increased (P<0.05) . Compared with TCE sensitized positive group, the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase 1, IL-1β, TXNIP proteins and the content of ROS in the TCE+Mito TEMPO sensitized positive group were significantly decreased (P<0.05) . Conclusion: ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway was activated and then encouraged the release of IL-1β, finally aggravated the TCE-induced skin injury.

Abstract
Background: Whether endoscopic surgery for sellar/parasellar disease causes significant deficits in olfactory function remains unclear. We aimed to systematically review the olfactory outcomes in such settings based on the evidence up to date. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched through February 1, 2021. Included studies were limited to endoscopic surgery for sellar/parasellar disease with follow-up olfactory function measured by standardized olfactory testing methods or subjective assessment. The primary outcome was the change in olfactory function after surgery assessed by standardized olfactory testing methods. The secondary outcome was the change in subjective olfactory function. Random-effects model was used in obtaining combine effects. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. Sensitivity analysis was carried out using the leave-one-out approach, and publication bias was assessed using Egger’s test. Results: The results show no significant difference in olfaction assessed by standardized olfactory testing methods at 1–3 months post-surgery (880 patients in 16 studies) or at 6–12 months post-surgery (1320 patients in 16 studies) compared to pre-surgery, whereas a significantly lower subjective olfaction at 3 months was observed. In addition, the lack of significant change in olfaction as assessed by standardized olfactory testing methods was observed regardless of whether patients were treated with or without the nasoseptal flap (NSF) harvesting. Heterogeneity and publication bias were observed, whereas sensitivity analysis showed the meta-analysis results are robust. Conclusion: The findings of this updated systematic review and meta-analysis support the conclusion that endoscopic surgery for sellar and parasellar pathology may pose no greater risk of olfactory dysfunction. In addition, the current evidence does not support there is an increased risk of diminished olfaction among patients treated with NSF during surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the use of non-erythrocyte blood products transfusion in very preterm and extremely preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) of the Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN) in 2019, to explore the disparity between different centers, and to further investigate the rationality and standardability of non-erythrocyte blood products transfusion. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on the CHNN cohort of very preterm and extremely preterm infants. All 6 598 infants with gestational age (GA)<32 weeks and admitted to the 57 NICU of CHNN within 24 h of life in 2019 were enrolled. Non-erythrocyte blood products included platelet, plasma, albumin, immunoglobulin, cryoprecipitate and prothrombin complex. Infants who received at least one type of non-erythrocyte blood products were defined in transfusion group. The comparison between infants with and without transfusion was done by t-test, rank-sum test or χ2 test as appropriate. Linear regression model was used to generate adjusted transfusion rate of each center, and to investigate the correlation between adjusted rate and center-level characteristics. Results: A total of 6 598 infants were enrolled in the study, with gestational age of 30.0 (28.7, 31.0) weeks and birth weight of (1 353±312) g, and 43.6 % (2 877) of them were female. Among them, 42.7% (2 816) infants were enrolled in transfusion group, with the times of transfusion as 3 (1, 6) times. Compared to the infants without any transfusion of non-erythrocyte blood products, those infants received transfusion had lower gestational age (Z=17.62, P<0.01), lower birth weight (t=18.64, P<0.01), higher proportion of small-for-gestation age (χ2=31.06, P<0.01), multiple birth (χ²=12.82, P<0.01) and intensive resuscitation in delivery room (χ²=287.52, P<0.01), as well as lower proportion of females (χ²=10.68, P<0.01) and even lower proportion of infants born in this hospital (χ²=78.23, P<0.01). Among the entire study population, albumin (25.4%, 1 674 cases), immunoglobulin (21.5%, 1 417 cases) and plasma (18.9%, 1 245 cases) were the most commonly used non-erythrocyte blood products. Overall, 60.4% (544/901) infants with gestational age <28 weeks received transfusion 4 (2, 8) times. A total of 39.9% (2 272/5 697) infants between 28-31weeks received non-erythrocyte blood products 3 (1, 6) times. The non-erythrocyte blood products transfusion rates of critically-ill and non-critically-ill infants were 62.2% (1 693/2 723) and 29.0% (1 123/3 875) respectively, and the transfusion times were 4 (2,7) and 2 (1,4) times. The transfusion rates varied significantly among different NICU, and the disparities remained obvious after adjustment (adjusted χ²=153.48, P<0.01). Conclusion: Near half of very preterm and extremely preterm infants admitted to Chinese NICU in 2019 receive non-erythrocyte blood products during hospitalization with significant disparities among different hospitals.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Methods: Multi-center data of patients who accepted single-drug albumin-bound paclitaxel or combination regimens from 2013 to 2019 were collected and the efficacy and safety were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, while Log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates. Results: A total of 203 advanced breast cancer cases were enrolled. The median progression-free survival time (PFS) lasted for 4 months, the median overall survival(OS)was 14 months, objective response rate (ORR) was 36.0% while the disease control rate (DCR) was 81.3%. The ORRs of Luminal, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression and triple-negative breast cancer patients underwent albumin-bound paclitaxel treatment were 37.3%, 45.5% and 31.0%, respectively, the DCRs were 85.5%, 68.2% and 78.9%, respectively. The OS of patients with relapse or metastasis who accepted less than two and more than two chemotherapy regimens were 22 months and 11 months (P<0.000 1), the ORRs were 44.9% vs 30.4%, DCRs were 87.2% vs 77.6% (P=0.018). The ORR and DCR of patients who accepted traditional paclitaxel treatment before the albumin-bound paclitaxel treatment were 35.8% and 82.1%, respectively. The common adverse reaction of these patients was numbness of limbs, which incidence rate was 64.5% (131/203), and 61.1% (124/203) were degree 1 to 2. Other adverse reactions including decreased white blood cells, which incidence rate was 56.1% (114/203); nausea and vomit, which incidence rate was 36.9% (75/203); anemia, which incidence rate was 21.2% (43/203); decreased platelet, which incidence rate was 18.7% (38/203); hepatic dysfunction, which incidence rate was 18.2% (37/203). Conclusions: Albumin-bound paclitaxel single or combination regimen is still significant efficient for various molecular subtypes of breast cancer patients or patients with traditional paclitaxel resistance or multi-line chemotherapy failure. Early usage has better prognosis, controllable adverse reaction and prominent clinical application value.

Abstract
Sepsis remains a leading cause of death in critical patients. Both excessive inflammatory response and long-term immunosuppression can lead to the death of sepsis patients. As a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-17 (IL-17) plays an important role in the body's inflammatory response and immune system. The signal transduction of IL-17 is a key link in maintaining the body's health and participating in the onset and development of sepsis. This review mainly summarizes and discusses the regulation of IL-17 signal transduction and pathogenic and protective role of IL-17 in sepsis.

Abstract
We studied the effects and mechanisms of action of conophylline in different concentrations in the original in vitro model of myocardial fibrosis (treatment of cardiac fibroblasts isolated form the hearts of newborn rats with angiotensin II). Viability, collagen content, and expression of related protein in cardiac fibroblasts were assessed using the MTT-test, Sircol assay, and Western blotting, respectively. Conophylline markedly protected the cultured cells against the development of angiotensin II-induced fibrosis, which was seen from reduced viability of fibroblasts, decreased collagen content, and down-regulation of the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Conophylline did not affect the TGF-β pathway altered by angiotensin II, but markedly decreased the level of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) enhanced by angiotensin II and BMP4 itself. Conophylline produced no effect on phosphorylation of α-SMA and Smad homologue-1/5/8, the classic BMP4 downstream pathway elements, but reduced the level of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) elevated by BMP4. Conophylline did not inhibit the development of myocardial fibrosis in the presence of JNK activator anisomycin. Thus, conophylline inhibited angiotensin II-provoked myocardial fibrosis via the BMP4/JNK pathway.

Abstract
The relapse rate for children with acute myeloid leukemia is nearly 40% despite aggressive chemotherapy and often stem cell transplant. We sought to understand how environment-induced signaling responses are associated with clinical response to treatment. We previously reported that patients whose AML cells showed low G-CSF-induced STAT3 activation had inferior event-free survival compared to patients with stronger STAT3 responses. Here, we expanded the paradigm to evaluate multiple signaling parameters induced by a more physiological stimulus. We measured STAT3, STAT5 and ERK1/2 responses to G-CSF and to stromal cell-conditioned medium for 113 patients enrolled on COG trials AAML03P1 and AAML0531. Low inducible STAT3 activity was independently associated with inferior event-free survival in multivariate analyses. For inducible STAT5 activity, those with the lowest and highest responses had inferior event-free survival, compared to patients with intermediate STAT5 responses. Using existing RNA-sequencing data, we compared gene expression profiles for patients with low inducible STAT3/5 activation with those for patients with higher inducible STAT3/5 signaling. Genes encoding hematopoietic factors and mitochondrial respiratory chain subunits were overexpressed in the low STAT3/5 response groups, implicating inflammatory and metabolic pathways as potential mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance. We validated the prognostic relevance of individual genes from the low STAT3/5 response signature in a large independent cohort of pediatric AML patients. These findings provide novel insights into interactions between AML cells and the microenvironment that are associated with treatment failure and could be targeted for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical and pathological characteristics of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of ocular adnexal (OA-DLBCL). Methods: A retrospective case series study. Twenty-three cases of OA-DLBCL were collected in Tianjin Eye Hospital from January 2005 to December 2018. The clinical manifestations and imaging examination results were analyzed. The pathological characteristics and immune subtypes were analyzed with hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry. Eighteen patients completed the follow-up. Overall survival (OS) time was from the date of diagnosis to the date of death or the final follow-up (April 30, 2020). Clinical stages were analyzed by the Ann Arbor classification; Kaplan-Meier plots were used to visualize survival outcomes. The different risk groups were compared using Log-rank test. Results: There were 13 males and 10 females. The median age was 65 years (range, 43 to 82 years). Twenty-two patients had unilateral lymphoma (14 left eyes, 8 right eyes), and one patient had bilateral lymphoma. The OA-DLBCL was in the orbit in 14 patients, in the lacrimal gland in two patients, in both the lacrimal gland and the orbit in three patients, in both the lacrimal sac and the orbit in one patient, in the conjunctiva in one patient, in both the conjunctiva and the orbit in one patient, and in the skin of eyelids in one patient. Imaging examinations showed the tumors were of irregular soft tissue density. MRI showed the tumors were close to the extraocular muscles or ectocinerea. Centroblastic morphology was present in 21 specimens, and 2 specimens had immunoblastic morphology. Six patients were of germinal center B cell-like (GCB) type, and 17 were of non-GCB type. There were 2 patients with double expression of cellular-myelocytomatosis viral oncogene and B-cell lymphoma 2. The follow-up time ranged from 25 to 156 months, and the median follow-up time was 48 months. Five of them had primary OA-DLBCL, and 13 patients had secondary OA-DLBCL. Five patients were at the Ann Arbor clinical stage ⅠE, one was at stage ⅢE, and 12 were at stage ⅣE. During the follow-up, 8 patients survived, and 10 died. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 88.9%, 71.4% and 41.7%, respectively. Log-rank analysis indicated that the Ann Arbor clinical stage and age were related to the OS of OA-DLBCL (χ²=7.448, 8.804; both P<0.01). The gender, tumor size, molecular typing, Ki-67 index, and bone invasion were not related to the OS of OA-DLBCL (all P>0.05). Conclusions: OA-DLBCL mainly occurrs in the elderly population, unilaterally, and in the orbit. Most molecular types are non-GCB subtypes. The Ann Arbor clinical stage and age are associated with prognosis. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57: 366-371).

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of children with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) complicated with thrombosis. Methods: The clinical profiles of four APL patients complicated with thrombosis treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2012 and December 2019 were reviewed. Literature search and review covered the China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang database, China biology medicine disc and PubMed using the key words of "acute promyelocytic leukemia" and "thrombosis" up to June 2020. Results: Four patients included one male and three females with an age range of 4-13 years. In two patients, thrombosis occurred intracranially, both patients presented with seizure and hemiplegia. In one patient, thrombosis occurred in spleen, the patient presented with severe abdominal pain. In the last patient, thrombosis occurred in liver, the patient presented with abdominal pain, distension and ascites. Thrombosis occurred during the course of retinoic acid treatment in three patients, it occurred before the initiation of the treatment in one patient. Thrombosis was confirmed by imaging examination in all four patients. After thrombolytic and anticoagulation treatment, the vessels were recanalized and the symptoms were alleviated in 3 cases, the fourth patient died of hepatic venous thrombosis. Literature search identified no similar reports in Chinese journals, 11 case reports were found in English journals. In these 15 patients, 9 were male and 6 females with an age range of 3-16 years. Thrombus located in brain in 6 cases, in lower limbs for 3 cases, in liver for 3 cases, in spleen in 2 cases and in coronary artery for 1 case. In 10 cases thrombosis occurred before the induce treatment and in 5 cases occurred during the induction treatment. After surgery, thrombolytic and anticoagulation treatment vascular recanalization was observed in 10 patients, and in those patients, the symptoms were relieved, death occurred in 5 patients, including three patients with hepatic venous thrombosis. Conclusions: Thrombosis may occur before or during the treatment for APL. Both arterial and venous thrombosis may occur in patients with APL. Imaging examination is a reliable method for its diagnosis. After treatment, most patients had good prognosis with recanalization of blood vessels, but the mortality rate was high for patients with hepatic venous thrombosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the expression of linc00601 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cells, and to study the biological function and downstream mechanism of linc00601 in HCC using in vitro experiments. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of linc00601 in HCC was predicted via bioinformatics, and the expression of linc00601 in HCC tissues and cells was detected via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). After interference with the expression of linc00601, the interference efficiency was determined using qRT-PCR, and the changes in HCC cell proliferation, cycle distribution, and apoptosis were determined through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Finally, the expressions of molecular markers in downstream signaling pathway were determined through Western blotting. RESULTS It was found via bioinformatics that the expression of linc00601 was upregulated in HCC. The results of qRT-PCR revealed that the expression of linc00601 was upregulated in 36 cases of HCC tissues compared with that in para-carcinoma tissues, and it was also upregulated in HCC cells. According to the results of CCK-8 assay, HCC cell proliferation was inhibited after interference with the expression of linc00601. In the si-linc00601 group, the apoptosis rate rose, and the cell cycle was arrested at the G1/G0 phase compared with those in the si-NC group. The results of Western blotting revealed that after the knockdown of linc00601 in HCC cells, the expressions of molecular markers (p-P38, p-ERK) in the downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway were downregulated. CONCLUSIONS Linc00601 is upregulated in HCC, which promotes the development of HCC via activating the MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the role of GNAS in accelerating the progression of osteoporosis by inhibiting osteogenesis of BMSCs by the Wnt pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS GNAS levels in OP tissues and BMSCs undergoing osteogenesis for different time points were detected. Regulatory effects of GNAS on osteogenesis-related gene expressions, ALP activity, capability of mineralization, and activation of the Wnt pathway in BMSCs were assessed through a series of functional experiments. At last, rescue experiments were performed to further verify the significance of the Wnt pathway during GNAS-mediated osteogenesis development. RESULTS GNAS was downregulated in OP tissues relative to normal bone tissues. With the prolongation of osteogenesis, GNAS level gradually increased in BMSCs. Knockdown of GNAS downregulated expression levels of ALP and RUNX2, and attenuated ALP activity and capability of mineralization in BMSCs. GNAS was able to activate the Wnt pathway in BMSCs. Notably, overexpression of Wnt3a could reverse the regulatory effects of GNAS on osteogenesis-related gene expressions, ALP activity, and capability of mineralization in BMSCs. CONCLUSIONS Downregulation of GNAS suppresses osteogenesis of BMSCs through the Wnt pathway, thus aggravating the progression of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance has become a major obstacle to effective treatment of human cancer. This study aimed to investigate the effect of lncRNA XIST on cell proliferation and cisplatin (CDDP) of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect mRNA and protein expression. CCK-8 and flow cytometry assays were explored to evaluate CDDP sensitivity in OSCC cells. The relationship between lncRNA XIST and miR-27b-3p was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. The results showed that lncRNA XIST was upregulated in OSCC tissues, cell lines, and CDDP-resistant OSCC cells. Functionally, upregulation of lncRNA XIST promoted cell proliferation, enhanced CDDP resistance, and inhibited apoptosis in OSCC cells. In addition, lncRNA XIST acts as a molecular sponge for miR-27b-3p in OSCC. Downregulation of miR-27b-3p partially reversed the tumor suppression effect and CDDP chemosensitivity of XIST knockdown in CDDP-resistant OSCC cells. In conclusion, lncRNA XIST promotes cell proliferation and enhances resistance to CDDP in OSCC by downregulating miR-27b-3p.

Abstract
Lactose and somatic cell score (SCS) are major economic traits of milk. However, for many countries, they are typically not directly considered in the national genetic evaluation of Simmental cattle. This study aimed to estimate the genetic relationships between lactose, SCS, and growth traits of Simmental cattle to provide information for the national genetic evaluation of the selection of traits of this cattle population. The data of 1781 animals with 6519 records obtained over a period of 41 years (1975-2016) were collected from Xinjiang Hutubi Farm, China. The analyzed traits included 305 days of milk yield (305MY), milk fat percentage (MFP), milk protein percentage (MPP), milk lactose percentage (MLP), total solids (TS), SCS, body height (BH), body length (BL), chest girth (CG), abdominal circumference (AC), rump width (RW), rump length (RL), leg circumference (LC), and cannon circumference (CC). The multiple-trait repeatability model was adopted to estimate (co)variance components using the average information-restricted maximum likelihood method implemented using the DMU statistical package. The heritability estimates for milk components and growth traits ranged from 0.09 (SCS) to 0.51 (BH). Genetic correlations for milk components ranged from 0.03 ± 0.14 (MFP and MLP) to 0.81 ± 0.08 (MFP and MPP). Genetic correlation between MLP and SCS was moderate and negative (-0.50 ± 0.15) compared with that among other traits. Genetic correlations between the milk components and growth traits ranged from 0.00 ± 0.07 (305MY and RW) to -0.64 ± 0.15 (MLP and BL). Genetic correlations of BL, LC, RW, and RL with MLP were moderate to high and negative ranging from -0.39 to -0.64. Somatic cell score showed the highest correlation with BL (0.41) followed by LC (0.21). An increase in MLP would result in an increase in 305MY or TS and a decrease in BL, LC, RW, and RL. Additionally, a decrease in SCS would occur with the selection of increased MLP and reduced BL. We conclude that selection based on easily and inexpensively measured growth traits could improve the milk quality from Simmental cattle.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and long-term outcome of Langerhans cell histiocytosis with multisystem involvement (MS-LCH) in children, and to evaluate the efficacy of modified DAL-HX83/90 protocol. Methods: This retrospective study included 53 patients with MS-LCH admitted to the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2011 to May 2019. Modified DAL-HX83/90 protocol was used in all patients as an initial treatment. The patients were divided into the group with (RO+) or without (RO-) risk organ involvement. The RO+group was further divided into two groups, as RO+Ⅰ group (lung involvement only) and RO+Ⅱ group (extra-pulmonary, with or without lung involvement). The clinical characteristics and the long-term outcome were summarized. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) curves were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors including age, sex, risk organ involvement and response to 6-week induction were analyzed with Log-Rank test and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Among the 53 children with MS-LCH, 34 were male and 19 were female. The age of onset was 21 months (3 months-13 years). There 22 were in RO+group, with 12 in RO+Ⅰ group and 10 in RO+Ⅱ group, and 31 in RO-group. The follow-up period was 51 (12-144) months. The overall response rate of 6-week induction was 89% (47/53), and the recurrence rate was 30% (16/53). The 5-year EFS and OS were (67±6) % and (83±5) %, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the 5-year EFS and OS of patients who responded well to 6-week induction chemotherapy were significantly higher than those who had no response ((76±6) % vs. 0, (88±4) % vs. (41±22) %, χ2 = 34.743, 10.608, both P<0.05). The 5-year EFS and OS of RO-group were significantly higher than that of RO+group ((80±7) % vs. (49±10) %, (93±4) % vs. (70±10) %, χ2=6.022, 4.793, both P<0.05). And the 5-year EFS of RO+Ⅰ group was significantly higher than that of RO+Ⅱ group ((83±10) % vs. (10±9) %, χ2=9.501, P=0.002). While age and sex were not significantly associated with 5-year EFS and OS (all P>0.05). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that response to 6-week induction chemotherapy was the independent risk factor for EFS (HR=13.114, 95%CI 3.759-45.742, P<0.01) and OS (HR=7.748, 95%CI 1.542-38.920, P=0.013). Conclusions: Most of the children without risk organ involvement treated with modified DAL-HX83/90 protocol could achieve long-term survival. However, the children involved liver, spleen, or hematopoietic system had a high risk of disease progression and recurrence.

Abstract
Crossbreeding is an essential way of improving herd performance. However, frequent parentage record errors appear, which results in the lower accuracy of genetic parameter estimation and genetic evaluation. This study aims to build a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel with sufficient power for parentage testing in the crossbred population of Simmental and Holstein cattle. The direct sequencing technique in PCR products of pooling DNA along with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS method for genotyping the individuals was applied. A panel comprising 50 highly informative SNPs for parentage analysis was developed in the crossbred population. The average minor allele frequency for SNPs was 0.43, and the cumulative probability of exclusion for single-parent and both-parent inference met 0.99797 and 0.999999, respectively. The maker-set for parentage verification was then used in a group of 81 trios with aid of the likelihood-based parentage-assignment program of Cervus software. Reconfirmation with on-farm records showed that this 50-SNP system could provide sufficient and reliable information for parentage testing with the parental errors for mother-offspring and sire-offspring being 8.6 and 18.5%, respectively. In conclusion, a set of low-cost and efficient SNPs for the paternity testing in the Simmental and Holstein crossbred population are provided.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the types and treatment methods of easily-missed, misdiagnosed intestinal obstruction after radical radiotherapy of cervical cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 21 patients with intestinal obstruction after radical radiotherapy of cervical cancer in our hospital from May 2013 to May 2019 were collected, including the radiation dose, obstruction symptoms, surgical methods and treatment outcomes. The types and treatment methods of intestinal obstruction after radical radiotherapy of cervical cancer were further investigated. Results: The intestinal obstruction occurred in 21 patients with cervical cancer after radical radiotherapy. All patients were initially diagnosed as rectal obstruction and underwent the transverse colostomy. The obstruction symptoms were successfully resolved in 15 patients while failed in other 6 patients who then underwent the re-operation. Four patients with rectal obstruction accompanied by middle or terminal ileum obstruction underwent ileostomy, the other 2 patients with terminal ileum obstruction underwent the transverse ileal anastomosis and partial intestines exclusion surgery. All of the obstruction symptoms were alleviated. Conclusions: Rectal is the major obstruction site of the cervical cancer patients with intestinal obstruction after radical radiotherapy. However, a possibility of obstruction at the middle or end of the ileum also exists. Therefore, it is very important to avoid misdiagnosis and conduct appropriate operative treatment according to the obstruction site.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to explore the best follow-up management strategy for patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) during the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) epidemic. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients undergoing PD who were followed up during the NCP epidemic by our hospital were enrolled in this study. Because of the need to control the epidemic, a follow-up system was established during the epidemic period, with WeChat, QQ, and the telephone as the main methods of communication. Outpatient and emergency follow-ups were carried out to ensure the safety of dialysis and the prevention and control of the epidemic. The follow-up strategy included response measures related to the epidemic situation, prevention of peritonitis related to PD, water and salt control, exercise guidance, and psychological care. According to the patient's condition, the appointment system was implemented, with one consulting room and one process for each patient. The emergency patients were isolated in accordance with the epidemic situation. RESULTS Since January 2020, among the 580 patients undergoing PD who were followed up in our department and their families, none had NCP infection. During the epidemic period, the standard hemoglobin level and the inpatient rate decreased. Complications related to PD, such as peritonitis, cardiovascular complications caused by volume overload, and pulmonary infection, did not significantly increase, and the withdrawal rate and mortality rate decreased compared with those in the same period last year. CONCLUSIONS The patient follow-up strategy during the epidemic period had a significant positive effect on preventing and controlling the epidemic. Furthermore, during the epidemic period, encouraging patients and caregivers to pay attention to protection at home, avoid going out, strengthen self-management, and other measures were beneficial to the control of kidney disease itself, which is worth promoting. The close relationship between doctors and patients during the epidemic had a positive effect on the occurrence of complications related to patients undergoing PD.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of "posterior approach, uncinate process priority, artery first" in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy. Methods: The clinical data of 200 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy from January 2018 to April 2019 in the Second Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, the First Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively. Meanwhile, the advantages of "posterior approach, uncinate process priority, artery first" were analyzed. Results: Two hundred patients were treated with "posterior approach, uncinate process priority, artery first". The average total operation time was (260.2±50.1) min, sample cutting time was (86.6±18.7) min, intraoperative bleeding volume was 50 (50-100) ml, average number of lymph node dissection was (19.2±7.4), and average hospitalization time was (17.9±9.9) days. Conclusion: The "posterior approach, uncinate process first, artery first" approach not only protects the variant hepatic artery, but also allows early detection of SMA, clarifies the positional relationship between the tumor and SMA, realizes R0 resection, and reduces the amount of bleeding during operation and shortens the operation time, which is safe and feasible in clinical setting.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of glypican-3 (GPC3) detection in the diagnosis and therapy-monitoring of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: From March 2018 to May 2019, the patients with HCC were enrolled as the experimental group(n=166)from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre, while the specimens from health control group(n=94) and benign control group (n=50) were analyzed. The serum of GPC3 and alpha fetoprotein (AFP)levels were respectively detected by ELISA and chemiluminescence. GPC3 detections combined with AFP etc. in accuracy of HCC diagnosis were explored by using Logistic regression analysis. Results: The serum GPC3 level in patients with HCC [0.210 (0.048, 0.801)mg/L] [Median (quartile Q1, Q3)] was significantly higher than those in healthy controls [0.029(0.019, 0.052)mg/L] and benign controls [0.033(0.021, 0.043) mg/L] (Z=-7.69, P<0.001).The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and AFP were significantly different among the three groups (Z=-7.02, -6.85, -8.36 respectively, P<0.001). Among the serological indicators, it was related to ALT and AST (Z=-3.77, -4.09 respectively, P<0.001).The Cut-off level of GPC3 was determined as 0.077 mg/L by ROC curve. The sensitivity of the combined detection of serum GPC3 with AFP for HCC was up to 87.82%, the specificity was 77.86%, the negative predictive value was 84.29%, and the positive predictive value was 82.53%.The HCC-GPC3 model was constructed by using Logistic regression analysis. The area under the ROC curve was 0.882, the total sensitivity was 91.10%, and the total specificity was 72.73%. Further analysis showed that the serum GPC3 of patients with HCC was significantly lower [0.454(0.019, 0.286) mg/L] than that before surgery[0.608(0.039, 0.554)mg/L](Z=-7.32, P<0.001). Conclusion: The detection of serum GPC3 can be applied to aid diagnosis and therapy-monitoring of HCC.The combination of GPC3 and AFP can improve the diagnostic efficiency of HCC.
