Abstract
We present two prescriptions for broadband ($ {\sim} 77 - 252\;{\rm GHz} $), millimeter-wave antireflection coatings for cryogenic, sintered polycrystalline aluminum oxide optics: one for large-format (700 mm diameter) planar and plano-convex elements, the other for densely packed arrays of quasi-optical elements-in our case, 5 mm diameter half-spheres (called "lenslets"). The coatings comprise three layers of commercially available, polytetrafluoroethylene-based, dielectric sheet material. The lenslet coating is molded to fit the 150 mm diameter arrays directly, while the large-diameter lenses are coated using a tiled approach. We review the fabrication processes for both prescriptions, then discuss laboratory measurements of their transmittance and reflectance. In addition, we present the inferred refractive indices and loss tangents for the coating materials and the aluminum oxide substrate. We find that at 150 GHz and 300 K the large-format coating sample achieves $ (97 \pm 2)\% $ transmittance, and the lenslet coating sample achieves $ (94 \pm 3)\% $ transmittance.

Abstract
Expression of genes involved in diterpene biosynthesis, especially momilactone and gibberellins (GAs), in rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) in response to barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) stress was examined. The three analyzed class II diterpene synthases had the highest fold change expression. Transcription patterns of genes for two homologs of momilactone synthases, OsMAS and OsMAS2, suggests their distinct roles in response to the presence of barnyard grass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the role of misshapen/NIK-related kinase (MINK1) in age-related Osteoarthritis (OA) and injury-induced OA, and the effects of enhanced TGFβ signaling in these progresses. DESIGN The effect of MINK1 was analyzed with MINK1 knock out (Mink1-/-) mice and C57BL/6J mice. OA progress was studied in age-related OA and instability-associated OA (destabilization of the medial meniscus, DMM) models. The murine knee joint was evaluated through histological staining, Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scores, immunohistochemistry, and μCT analysis. Primary chondrocytes were isolated from wild type and Mink1-/- mice and subjected to osteogenic induction and Western blot analysis. RESULTS MINK1 is highly expressed during cartilage development and in normal cartilage. Mink1-/- mice displayed markedly lower OARSI scores, aggrecan degradation neoepitope positive cells and increased Safranin O and pSMAD2 staining in aging-related OA model. However, in injury-induced OA, loss of MINK1 accelerates extracellular matrix (ECM) destruction, osteophyte formation, and subchondral bone sclerosis. Accelerated subchondral bone remodeling in Mink1-/- mice was accompanied with increased numbers of nestin-positive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osterix-positive osteoprogenitors. pSMAD2 staining was increased in the subchondral bone marrow of Mink1-/- mice and overexpression of MINK1 inhibited SMAD2 phosphorylation in vitro. CONCLUSIONS This study shows for the first time that activation of TGFβ/SMAD2 by MINK1 deficiency plays opposite roles in aging-related and injury-induced OA. MINK1 deficiency protects cartilage from degeneration in aging joints through increased SMAD2 activation in chondrocytes, while accelerating OA progress in injury-induced model through enhanced osteogenesis of MSCs in the subchondral bone. These findings provide insights for developing precision OA therapeutics targeting TGFβ/SMAD2 signaling.

Abstract
Chitinase is responsible for insect chitin hydrolyzation, which is a key process in insect molting and pupation. However, little is known about the chitinase of Spodoptera exigua (SeChi). In this study, based on the SeChi gene (ADI24346) identified in our laboratory, we constructed the recombinant baculovirus P-Chi for the expression of recombinant SeChi (rSeChi) in Hi5 cells. The rSeChi was purified by chelate affinity chromatography, and the purified protein showed activity comparable with that of a commercial SgChi, suggesting that we harvested active SeChi for the first time. The purified protein was subsequently tested for enzymatic properties and revealed to exhibit its highest activity at pH 8 and 40 C. Using homology modeling and molecular docking techniques, the three-dimensional model of SeChi was constructed and screened for inhibitors. In two rounds of screening, twenty compounds were selected. With the purified rSeChi, we tested each of the twenty compounds for inhibitor activity against rSeChi, and seven compounds showed obvious activity. This study provided new information for the chitinase of beet armyworm and for chitinase inhibitor development.

Abstract
1. Tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) is a key regulator of innate immunity and acquired immunity, and has a salient anti-viral role. 2. In this experiment, the duck TRAF3 (DuTRAF3) gene was cloned according to the Anas platyrhynchos TRAF3 sequence to explore its function. The TRAF3 open reading frame contains 1704 bp that encode a protein of 567 amino acids, which contain a RING finger domain, two zinc finger motifs, a coiled-coil region, and a MATH domain. 3. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed that DuTRAF3 was expressed in all the examined tissues, with a comparatively higher expression in the spleen and brain tissues. 4. In HEK293T cells, DuTRAF3 overexpression resulted in a significantly increased NF-κB activity and interferon (IFN)-β promoter activation. 5. Following resiquimod (R848) and poly(I:C) stimulation of duck peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), the expressions of TRAF3 and IFN-β were significantly upregulated; in addition, following R848 stimulation, the mRNA levels of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 were also significantly upregulated. After infection with the Newcastle Disease Virus LaSota vaccine strain, the mRNA levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were significantly upregulated, while that of TRAF3 was downregulated. 6. These results suggest that DuTRAF3 has an important role to play in innate antiviral immune responses.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical features of the pseudoaneurysm of the cervical vascular in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy, and to summarize the clinical signs of patients with cervical vascular aneurysm, and to provide a basis for improving the success rate of treatment. Method:Patients with hemorrhage disease were treated by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma are included. According to the presence or absence of pseudoaneurysm (PSA), patients are divided to pseudoaneurysm group (PSA group) and non-pseudoaneurysm group(non-PSA group), analysis of gender, age, presence or absence of tumor recurrence, presence or absence of recurrent radiotherapy, history of nasopharyngeal surgery after radiotherapy, needed to open the airway before the interval therapy, time to the end of radiotherapy. Result:The rate of tumor recurrence was 80% (12/15) in patients with pseudoaneurysm and 60%(9/15) in recurrent radiotherapy, which was significantly higher than that in patients with non-pseudular aneurysms. The average time to the end of radiotherapy is 36.5 months in patients with pseudoaneurysm, significantly shorter than non-pseudoaneurysm patients(106.7 months). Conclusion:The high-risk clinical features of patients with cervical vascular pseudoaneurysm include: ①recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma; ②history of recurrent radiotherapy; ③interval time is shorter between the hemorrhage and the end of radiotherapy, usually taking place within a few months to two years after recurrent radiotherapy. Patients with the above characteristics need to be screened early, and the DSA should be used as early as possible to confirm the cervical vascular condition and effectively control the hemorrhage.

Abstract
Various health problems of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) are associated with their physical inactivity. The present study aimed at the understanding of physiological and psychological responses toward exergaming in seven young adults with mild to moderate ID after a single-session and a multiple-session condition, respectively. Their heart rate (HR), the rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and physical activity enjoyment scale (PACES) were measured on control and exergaming sessions. The significant increased HR, which may represent the increased physical activity levels that led to energy expenditure, was observed after a single-session and a multiple-session condition. In addition, the significant increase in RPE and PACES were evident after a single-session condition but a multiple-session condition. The feeling of physical fatigue seems to be distracted by external motivators (e.g. music). However, the positive affectivity to exercise was not noted when exercise was scheduled as their daily routines. This phenomenon might explain the high prevalence of physical inactivity among this population.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of external auditory canal is the relatively rare malignant tumor in head and neck surgery.As the signs and symptoms of this tumour do not always correlate with the histopathologic diagnosis and subsequent clinical behavior,it is easily to be ignored. Aggressive surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy seems effective for local disease control.

Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is prone to metastasis that typically resulted in peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). GC patients with PC have an extremely poor clinic prognosis. Although GC is sensitive to chemotherapy, PC causes chemotherapy failure. Recent studies showed the combination of intravenous and intraperitoneal chemotherapy can significantly improve the survival rates in GC patients with PC. Aim: To identify the clinical and adverse effects of intravenous chemotherapy combined with intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy in the treatment of abdominal peritoneal carcinomatosis arising from gastric cancer. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on 49 patients with abdominal peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer who were treated at the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between September 2010 and September 2015. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on treatment method: patients subjected to intravenous chemotherapy (n = 27), referred to as the simple group and patients subjected to combined intravenous and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (n = 22), referred to as the combination group. The short-term effects and adverse effects were evaluated based on treatment method, in conjunction with a related review of the results. The long-term effect was evaluated based on the survival rate and median survival time of both groups of patients at 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 60 months, as determined through follow-up. Results: Gender, age, ECOG scores before treatment, clinical stages, and the pathologic data of advanced GC patients of the 2 groups were equally distributed. The objective efficacy evaluation results showed that the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of the simple group after treatment were significantly lower than in the combination group. The median survival time (MST) of the simple group was (6.57 ± 0.75) months, which was significantly shorter than in the combination group (15.03 ± 2.31) months ( P < 0.05). In addition, the 12-, 18-, 24-, 30-, 36-, and 60-month survival rates of the simple group were all significantly lower than those of the combination group. Furthermore, combined therapy improved the physical condition of the patients. The incidence of adverse reactions in the 2 groups was not statistically significant; neither of the treatments resulted in severe complications. Conclusion: Compared with intravenous chemotherapy alone, the combined intravenous and intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy was more effective in improving quality of life and extending survival in time patients with abdominal peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. In addition, the treatment produced only mild adverse effects, showing that it is tolerable and therefore worth further clinical study.

Abstract
Receptors for leukocyte chemoattractants, including chemokines, are traditionally considered to be responsible for the activation of special leukocyte functions such as chemotaxis, degranulation, and the release of superoxide anions. Recently, these G-protein-coupled serpentine receptors have been found to transduce signals leading to gene transcription and translation in leukocytes. Transcription factors, such as NF kappa B and AP-1, are activated upon stimulation of the cells with several chemoattractants at physiologically relevant concentrations. Activation of transcription factors through these receptors involves G-protein coupling and the activation of protein kinases. The underlying signaling pathways appear to be different from those utilized by TNF-alpha, a better characterized cytokine that induces the transcription of immediate-early genes. Chemoattractants stimulate the expression of several inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which in turn may activate their respective receptors and initiate an autocrine regulatory mechanism for persistent cytokine and chemokine gene expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This 12-month randomized, non-inferiority clinical trial sought to determine the impact of consuming soy protein as part of an energy-restricted, high-protein diet on weight loss, body composition and cardiometabolic health. METHODS Seventy-one adults (58 female) with overweight or obesity (body mass index: 32.9 ± 3.6 kg m-2) were randomly assigned to consume three servings of soy (S) or non-soy (NS) protein foods per day for 12 months. All participants completed a group-based behavioural weight loss program lasting 4 months (M4), and follow-up assessments were completed at month 12 (M12). RESULTS Body weight was reduced in both groups at M4 (S: -7.0% ± 5.2%, NS: -7.1% ± 5.7%) and M12 (S: 3.6% ± 5.1%, NS: -4.8% ± 7.3%). Body weight reductions (mean difference [90% confidence interval]) were not different between S and NS at either time point (M4: -0.16% [-1.4, 3.6], P = 0.90; M12: 1.1% [-1.4, 3.6], P = 0.44). Differences in body fat mass loss were not different between S and NS at M4 (0.29 ± 0.84 kg, P = 0.73) or M12 (0.78 ± 1.5 kg, P = 0.59). Weight loss-induced improvements in cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure did not differ between S and NS. CONCLUSION These results indicate that soy-based protein foods can be effectively incorporated into an energy-restricted, high-protein diet for improving body weight, body composition and cardiometabolic health.
