Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors and sonographic findings of pregnancies complicated by placenta increta or placenta percreta. Methods: Totally, 2 219 cases were retrospectively analyzed from 20 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2011 to December 2015. The data were collected based on the original case records. All cases were divided into two groups, the placenta increta (PI) group (79.1%, 1 755/2 219) and the placenta percreta (PP) group (20.9%, 464/2 219) , according to the degree of placental implantation. The risk factors and sonographic findings of placenta increta or percreta were analyzed by uni-factor and logistic regression statistic methods. Results: The risk factors associated with the degree of placental implantation were age, gravida, previous abortion or miscarriage, previous cesarean sections, and placenta previa (all P<0.05), especially, previous cesarean sections (χ(2)=157.961) and placenta previa (χ(2)=91.759). Sonographic findings could be used to predict the degree of placental invasion especially the boundaries between placenta and uterine serosa, the boundary between placenta and myometrium, the disruption of the placental-uterine wall interface and loss of the normal retroplacental hypoechoic zone(all P<0.01). Conclusions: Previous cesarean sections and placenta previa are the main independent risk factors associated with the degree of placenta implantation. Ultrasound could be used to make a prenatal suggestive diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders.

Generation of noise-like pulses with a 920 fs pedestal in a nonlinear Yb-doped fiber amplifier. OPTICS EXPRESS 2019; 27:1208-1216.

Abstract
We demonstrate the compression of noise-like pulses in an Yb-doped fiber master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA). The seed source of the MOPA is an NPR mode locked fiber laser delivering 5.94-ps dissipative soliton pulses with a repetition rate of 37.48 MHz. After amplification in the Yb-doped fiber amplifier, stable noise-like pulses with maximum power of 5 W are obtained. Subsequently a grating pair is used to tailor the spectrum and compensate the dispersion of the amplified noise-like pulses. The pedestal of de-convolution autocorrelation trace is compressed from 6.5 ps to 920 fs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the pedestal of a noise-like pulse is compressed to femtosecond region.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the expression characteristics of lamin A/C proteins in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVD) specimens from patients with different degeneration grades. Lamin A/C proteins have been shown to result in age-related changes in the osteoarticular system. However, the expression characteristics of these nuclear proteins in degenerated human IVD tissues have not been explored previously. PATIENTS AND METHODS Degenerated human IVD tissues were obtained during spinal surgery. Articular cartilage samples after total knee replacement surgery were used as controls. Sections of these tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Masson, safranin O, and immunostained using lamin A/C antibody. Western blot was performed to evaluate lamin A/C expression in IVD tissues. Lamin A/C expression was analyzed based on different degeneration grades. RESULTS In patients with IVD degeneration, mild or moderate degenerative discs contained high amounts of lamin A/C proteins. Lamin A/C expression was primarily localized in the nuclear envelope of IVD cells, and associated with apoptosis in cell nuclei, as determined by immunostaining and TUNEL assay. CONCLUSIONS This paper is the first to report that lamin A/C proteins are present in IVD tissues and its expression may be related to disc degeneration.

Abstract
Objective: To construct a recombinant short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) lentiviral vector targeting the β-catenin gene in cochlear precursor cells (CPCs) in mice, and to investigate its inhibitory effect. Methods: PCR was used for the multiplication of the β-catenin gene, and shRNA oligo was designed based on the β-catenin gene to construct an interference vector. Gateway Technology was used to construct shRNA lentiviral vector which carried the β-catenin gene, and then 293FT cells were transfected with the constructed lentiviral vector and helper plasmids pLV/helper-SL3, pLV/helper-SL4, and pLV/helper-SL5. The virus supernatant was collected to obtain viral particles, and then mouse CPCs were transiently infected with the recombinant lentivirus with four different concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 20 μl) . The shRNA control group was established. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to investigate the inhibitory effect of shRNA β-catenin lentiviral vector on β-catenin. Results: The recombinant shRNA β-catenin lentiviral vector was successfully constructed, and the virus titers of shβ-catenin and shβ-catenin-control were 5.05×10(7) and 4.34×10(7), respectively. The results of in vitro experiments showed that in CPCs transfected with four different concentrations of recombinant lentivirus, the content of β-catenin protein gradually decreased with the increase in concentration, and there was a significant difference between groups (P<0.05) ; the CPCs transfected with shβ-catenin had significantly lower mRNA expression of β-catenin than those in the shβ-catenin-control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The constructed lentiviral vector targeting the β-catenin gene has a high infection efficiency, and the successful construction of lentiviral vectors provides a technical support for analyzing the role of β-catenin in the differentiation of CPCs into auditory hair cells.

Abstract
The chemical difference between DNA and RNA nucleosides is their 2'-hydrogen versus 2'-hydroxyl substituents. Modification of the ribosyl moiety at the 2'-position and 2'-O-methylation in particular, is common among natural post-transcriptional modifications of RNA. 2'-Modification may alter the electronic properties and hydrogen-bonding characteristics of the nucleoside and thus may lead to enhanced stabilization or malfunction. The structures and relative glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated forms of the 2'-O-methylated purine nucleosides, 2'-O-methyladenosine (Adom) and 2'-O-methylguanosine (Guom), were examined using two complementary tandem mass spectrometry approaches, infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy and energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation. Theoretical calculations were also performed to predict the structures and relative stabilities of stable low-energy conformations of the protonated forms of the 2'-O-methylated purine nucleosides and their infrared spectra in the gas phase. Low-energy conformations highly parallel to those found for the protonated forms of the canonical DNA and RNA purine nucleosides are also found for the protonated 2'-O-methylated purine nucleosides. Importantly, the preferred site of protonation, nucleobase orientation, and sugar puckering are preserved among the DNA, RNA, and 2'-O-methylated variants of the protonated purine nucleosides. The 2'-substituent does however influence hydrogen-bond stabilization as the 2'-O-methyl and 2'-hydroxyl substituents enable a hydrogen-bonding interaction between the 2'- and 3'-substituents, whereas a 2'-hydrogen atom does not. Further, 2'-O-methylation reduces the number of stable low-energy hydrogen-bonded conformations possible and importantly inverts the preferred polarity of this interaction versus that of the RNA analogues. Trends in the CID50% values extracted from survival yield analyses of the 2'-O-methylated and canonical DNA and RNA forms of the protonated purine nucleosides are employed to elucidate their relative glycosidic bond stabilities. The glycosidic bond stability of Adom is found to exceed that of its DNA and RNA analogues. The glycosidic bond stability of Guom is also found to exceed that of its DNA analogue; however, this modification weakens this bond relative to its RNA counterpart. The glycosidic bond stability of the protonated purine nucleosides appears to be correlated with the hydrogen-bond stabilization of the sugar moiety.

Abstract
The S100B protein is an intra- and extracellular signaling protein that
plays a role in a multitude of cellular processes and abnormal S100B is
associated with various neurological diseases and cancers. S100B recognizes and
binds effector proteins in a calcium-dependent manner. S100B has been shown to
interact with the actin capping protein CapZ, protein kinase C, Hdm2 and 4, RAGE
receptor, and p53, among others. These protein partners interact with
a common area on the S100B protein surface, validating the method of using the
consensus sequence for S100B target search. In addition, each S100B target
protein distinguishes itself by additional contacts with S100B. This perspective
suggests that the combination of sequence homology search and structural
analysis promises to identify newer S100B-binding partners beyond the use of the
consensus sequence alone as the given example in the XPB subunit of the TFIIH
general transcription factor. XPB is a helicase required for both transcription
and DNA repair. Inherited xpb mutations are associated with human disease
Xeroderma Pigmentasum, Cockayne syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy. S100B protein
is likely associated with much more biological pathways and processes. We
believe that S100B will attract more and more attentions in the scientific
community and S100B related studies will have important implications in human
health and medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Left atrial volume and function are associated with recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency ablation. A relationship between left atrial mechanical dyssynchrony and AF recurrence is presently unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether left atrial volume, function, and dyssynchrony were associated with AF recurrence in patients with normal left ventricular function, and normal or mildly enlarged left atrium, if assessed by the Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 88 patients with AF who had their first pulmonary vein isolation. There were 67 patients without and 21 patients with AF recurrence after radiofrequency ablation. Real-time 3DE was performed in the sinus rhythm the day before radiofrequency ablation. Left atrial volumes (maximum, minimum and preA), functions (passive, active and reservoir) and dyssynchrony were calculated. The latter was quantified by the standard deviation of time to minimum systolic volume (Tmsv-SD) from the end-diastole. RESULTS There was no difference between left atrial volume and function in patients with or without AF recurrence. However, significant differences in left atrial Tmsv-SD were observed in patients with AF recurrence. CONCLUSIONS In patients with normal left ventricular function, and normal/mildly enlarged left atrium, left atrial Tmsv-SD assessment by Real-time 3DE is a useful predictor of AF recurrence after radiofrequency ablation.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the prevalence and drug sensitivity of nasal Staphylococcus aureus infection in patients with chronic sinusitis and healthy controls.Method:Bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test were performed in 71 patients with CRS (experimental group) and 103 healthy controls (control group). The infection rate of Staphylococcus aureus and the sensitivity of the drug were analyzed based on these results.Result:Twenty-nine Staphylococcus aureus strains were isolated from 71 cases of patients in the experimental group, and the positive rate was 40.85%; 12 Staphylococcus aureus strains were isolated from 103 cases of patients in the control group, and the positive rate was 11.65%. There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the sensitivity of the strains to aminoglycosides and glycopeptides.A total of 13 strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were detected, and there was no strains which had resistance to quinolones, aminoglycosides and vancomycin.Conclusion:The incidence of CRS may be related to the infection of Staphylococcus aureus. The use of antibiotics in the treatment of CRS should be based on the results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eczema is one of the most common inflammatory dermatoses that can be provoked as a result of external and internal factors. With dense population and rapid economic development of China, air pollution is still a serious problem and the prevalence of eczema has been elevating. OBJECTIVE To determine the association and lagged effects between environmental factors and the outpatient visits for eczema. METHODS Data of daily outpatient visits for eczema at the clinics of dermatology in West China Hospital within the last 5 years were collected. Data of environmental factors of Chengdu during the same period, including temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and air pollutants concentrations like sulphur dioxide (SO2 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) and particular matter (PM10 ), were gathered. The distributed lag nonlinear model was used to statistically examine the relationship between eczema and environmental factors and their lagged effects. RESULTS Correlation analysis showed that eczema outpatient visits were positively correlated with the air pollutants and were negatively correlated with relative humidity. The barometric pressure and wind speed influenced the outpatient visits in association with air pollutants. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence that environmental factors like relative humidity and multiple air pollutants influence the incidence and prevalence of eczema and have lagged effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sensitive skin (SS) is a condition characterised by high reactivity, low tolerance, and susceptibility to allergies of the skin. Owing to changes in the environment and marketing strategies, as well as the increasing public awareness about skin care, attention to skin condition is gradually increasing. The aim of this study is to explore the differences in the skin barrier of SS and normal skin (NS). METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted and basic indicators of the skin barrier were analysed. It was found that sebum secretion in the SS group was lower than that in the NS group, suggesting that the development of SS might be associated with sebum secretion and its specific components. Next, an ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometer was used to identify facial sebum components in female volunteers. RESULTS The results showed that the sebum of female volunteers with SS had high levels of ceramides, glycerophosphoethanolamines, and diacylglycerols, and low levels of glucosylceramides, glycerophosphoserines, glycerophosphocholines, and triacylglycerols. CONCLUSION Analysis of lipid functions suggested that the main reason for SS development in women might be a barrier dysfunction caused by excessive apoptosis and lack of water. Therefore, anti-allergy additives in cosmetic products that could inhibit apoptosis of keratinocytes and methods to maintain the stability of water molecules in the skin should be further studied.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the timing and complications of lung transplantation for the treatment of connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD). Method: The clinical data of connective tissue-associated disease lung transplantation recipients from September, 2015 to February, 2017 were collected. Results: 11 patients with CTD-ILD were evaluated by lung transplantation and were treated with lung transplantation. Including 2 cases dermatomyositis/polymyositis and interstitial lung disease (PM/DM-ILD), 4 cases rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD), 4 cases of primary Sjgren's syndrome and interstitial lung disease (pSS-ILD), 1 case of systemic sclerosis and interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). There are 6 cases are CTD-ILD-PAH patients of all. There were 5 males and 6 females, aged 37-70 years, with an average age of (52.73±9.53) years. 7 patients received single lung transplantation, 4 patients received double lung transplantation. 3 patients died in the early postoperative period, one for pulmonary embolism, one for septic shock and heart failure, one for severe primary graft failure (PGD). The remaining patients were followed up (4-24 months) with good survival, no acute and chronic rejection and other complications were observed. The survival rate was similar to that of other disease sources. Conclusion: There is no recurrence, acute and chronic rejection and other complications were observed in CTD-ILD and/or PAH lung transplant recipients. And the survival rate was comparable to that of other disease sources.Lung transplantation is a safe and effective choice for selected CTD-ILD patients.

Genetic variants of microRNA processing genes and risk of non-syndromic orofacial clefts. Oral Dis 2017; 24:422-428.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNA (miRNA) processing genes play important roles in the craniofacial development. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of miRNA processing genes with the risk of non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC). METHODS We genotyped 12 potentially functional SNPs from seven miRNA processing genes (GEMIN3, DROSHA, DGCR8, GEMIN4, PIWIL1, XPO5, and DICER) in a case-control study of 602 NSOC cases and 605 controls. RESULTS Two SNPs were associated with the susceptibility of CL/P: rs10719 in DROSHA led to an increased risk of cleft lip with or without palate (CL/P) (GA/AA: p = .024, OR = 1.33, 95% CI = [1.04, 1.70]; GG + GA/AA: p = .037, OR = 1.29, 95% CI = [1.02, 1.63]), while rs493760 in DROSHA (CC/TT: p = .049, OR = 0.58, 95% CI = [0.34, 0.99]) could reduce the risk of CL/P. In addition, rs10719 (A)-rs493760 (C) haplotype contributed to a decreased risk of CL/P (OR = 0.77, 95% CI = [0.63, 0.94]), whereas the rs10719 (G)-rs493760 (C) haplotype contributed to the increased risk of cleft palate only (CPO) (OR = 2.70, 95% CI = [1.15, 6.35]). However, there was no difference observed in these SNPs after the Bonferroni correction. CONCLUSION Taken together, our results provided the potential evidence that rs10719 and rs493760 might contribute to the risk of CL/P and suggested potential genetic basis and mechanisms of CL/P. The lack of association between these SNPs and CPO might be due to the limited sample size of CPO subgroup.

Abstract
Objectives The length of the tourniquet time during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is related to the incidence of post-operative deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of the early release of the tourniquet on the incidence of DVT in patients undergoing TKA. Methods A total of 200 patients who underwent TKA between November 2015 and November 2016 were prospectively enrolled. The tourniquet was inflated before surgery and released immediately after the introduction of the components (early release group). This group was compared with a retrospective cohort of 200 primary TKAs, in which the tourniquet was released after the dressings had been applied (late release group). The presence of a DVT was detected using bilateral lower limb ultrasonography. Peri-operative clinical and follow-up data were collected for analysis. Results The incidence of DVT in the early release group (9 of 196, 4.6%) was significantly lower compared with the late release group (24 of 200, 12%; odds ratio (OR) 0.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16 to 0.78, p = 0.008). The incidence of proximal DVT in the early release group (1 of 196 (0.5%)) was significantly lower than in the late release group (8 of 196, 4%; OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.99, p = 0.020). Although the mean intra-operative blood loss was higher in the early release group, the mean post-operative drainage, total blood loss, transfusion requirements and complications were not significantly different in the two groups. Conclusion In patients who undergo TKA, releasing the tourniquet early is associated with a decreased incidence of DVT, without increasing the rate of complications.

Abstract
IntroductionPsychomotor retardation (PMR) in depression is analogous to the hypokinesia in Parkinson's disease, which is associated with the unbalanced direct and indirect pathways of cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical (CBTC) circuitry. This study hypothesized PMR in major depressive disorder (MDD) should be associated with the hyperactivity of CBTC indirect pathways.ObjectivesTo substantiate the hypothesis that the PMR symptom of MDD might attribute to the hyperactivity of the ortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical indirect pathway which could inhibit psychomotor performance.MethodsWe investigated the intrinsic stiato-subthalamic nucleus (STN)-thalamic functional connectivity (FC), three pivotal hubs of the indirect pathway, in 30 MDD patients with PMR (PMR group) and well matched 30 patients without PMR (NPMR group) at baseline, and 11 patients of each group at follow-up who remitted after antidepressant treatment.ResultsThe results showed increased STN-striatum FC of PMR group at baseline and no more discrepancy at follow-up, and significant correlation between PMR severity and thalamo-STN FC.ConclusionsOur findings suggested the increased STN- striatum FC should be considered as a state biomarker to distinguish MDD patients with PMR from patients without PMR at acute period, and thalamo-STN FC could be identified as the predictor of the PMR severity for MDD patients.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The actual total blood loss after a hip fracture has been found to be considerably larger than that observed during surgery and collected in drainage postoperatively. However, no previous studies have offered reasonable explanations for the deficit between a large hemoglobin drop and a small intraoperative blood loss. The aim was to quantify blood loss associated with hip injuries and surgery, and to identify the relative risk factors for perioperative hidden blood loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-nine patients with a femoral intertrochanteric fracture were operated on between August 2012 and October 2013. The patients were accepted to undergo DHS (AO/ASIF) surgery or PFN-a (AO/ASIF) surgery and were randomly assigned to one of the two groups according to whether they had a wound drain or not. Admission information collected included: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), the American Society of Anesthetists system (ASA grading), plasma albumin (ALB), specific gravity of urine (SGU), fracture type (FT), surgery type (ST), and time from admission to surgery in hours (TAS). Blood samples for HB (hemoglobin) analysis were obtained upon admission, at 1 h preoperatively, and at successive postoperation days. The hidden blood loss was calculated by deducting the observed perioperative blood loss from the calculated total blood loss based on the hematocrit changes. RESULTS A total of 82 patients with a mean admission lapse time of 4 h after injury remained for the final analysis. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) of HBL shows the significant difference was observed in BMI subgroups, ALB subgroups, SGU subgroups, and ST subgroups, but no difference was observed in other subgroups. A multivariate linear regression investigating the relationship between HBL and all factors show that decreased albumin at admission and PFN-a surgery were variables associated with increased HBL. CONCLUSIONS Several readily available preoperative factors in the form of non-drainage, BMI < 25 kg/m2, admission specific gravity of urine >1.020, surgery type PFN-a, and admission albumin <30 g/L were associated with a greater likelihood of more HBL. In addition, the latter two are independent risk factors for greater HBL in patients with intertrochanteric fractures.

Abstract
Recurrent mutations within EGR2 were recently reported in advanced-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and associated with a worse outcome. To study their prognostic impact, 2403 CLL patients were examined for mutations in the EGR2 hotspot region including a screening (n=1283) and two validation cohorts (UK CLL4 trial patients, n=366; CLL Research Consortium (CRC) patients, n=490). Targeted deep-sequencing of 27 known/postulated CLL driver genes was also performed in 38 EGR2-mutated patients to assess concurrent mutations. EGR2 mutations were detected in 91/2403 (3.8%) investigated cases, and associated with younger age at diagnosis, advanced clinical stage, high CD38 expression and unmutated IGHV genes. EGR2-mutated patients frequently carried ATM lesions (42%), TP53 aberrations (18%) and NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations (16%). EGR2 mutations independently predicted shorter time-to-first-treatment (TTFT) and overall survival (OS) in the screening cohort; they were confirmed associated with reduced TTFT and OS in the CRC cohort and independently predicted short OS from randomization in the UK CLL4 cohort. A particularly dismal outcome was observed among EGR2-mutated patients who also carried TP53 aberrations. In summary, EGR2 mutations were independently associated with an unfavorable prognosis, comparable to CLL patients carrying TP53 aberrations, suggesting that EGR2-mutated patients represent a new patient subgroup with very poor outcome.
