Abstract
Objective: To learn about the noise exposure and health status of workers and analyze factors that may affect the health outcomes of workers in an auto manufacturing enterprise in Tianjin City. Methods: In September 2020, occupational hygiene survey, noise exposure level detection and occupational health examination data collection were carried out in an auto parts manufacturing enterprise. Chi square test and unconditional logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the health effects of noise exposure and hearing loss of 361 noise exposure workers. Results: The rates of over-standard noise exposure, hearing loss and hypertension were 69.39% (34/49) , 33.24% (120/361) and 11.36% (41/361) , respectively. There were upward trends on age and noise-working years for hearing loss and hypertension rates (χ(2)=-5.95, -6.16, -2.81, -2.74, P<0.05) . Unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that age>35 years old, noise exposure length of service >10 years and noise L(EX, 8 h)>85 dB (A) were risk factors for hearing loss (OR=3.57, 95%CI: 1.09, 11.75; OR=4.05, 95%CI: 1.97, 8.25; OR=1.75, 95%CI: 1.00, 3.05; P=0.036, 0.001, 0.047) . Conclusion: This company has a high rate of job noise exceeding the standard, and noise-exposed workers have more serious hearing loss. Age, noise exposure and high noise exposure are risk factors for hearing loss.

Abstract
Objective: To reassess the predictors for response at 6 months in patients with severe or very severe aplastic anemia (SAA/VSAA) who failed to respond to immunosuppressive therapy (IST) at 3 months. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 173 patients with SAA/VSAA from 2017 to 2018 who received IST and were classified as nonresponders at 3 months. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate factors that could predict the response at 6 months. Results: Univariate analysis showed that the 3-month hemoglobin (HGB) level (P=0.017) , platelet (PLT) level (P=0.005) , absolute reticulocyte count (ARC) (P<0.001) , trough cyclosporine concentration (CsA-C0) (P=0.042) , soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) level (P=0.003) , improved value of reticulocyte count (ARC(△)) (P<0.001) , and improved value of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR(△)) level (P<0.001) were related to the 6-month response. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that the PLT level (P=0.020) and ARC(△) (P<0.001) were independent prognostic factors for response at 6 months. If the ARC(△) was less than 6.9×10(9)/L, the 6-month hematological response rate was low, regardless of the patient's PLT count. Survival analysis showed that both the 3-year overall survival (OS) [ (80.1±3.9) % vs (97.6±2.6) %, P=0.002] and 3-year event-free survival (EFS) [ (31.4±4.5) % vs (86.5±5.3) %, P<0.001] of the nonresponders at 6 months were significantly lower than those of the response group. Conclusion: Residual hematopoietic indicators at 3 months after IST are prognostic parameters. The improved value of the reticulocyte count could reflect whether the bone marrow hematopoiesis is recovering and the degree of recovery. A second treatment could be performed sooner for patients with a very low ARC(△).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Populations around the world are rapidly ageing. The profile of skin diseases in the elderly is likely to present unique demands on the healthcare system. OBJECTIVES To provide current data on the burden of skin diseases in Singaporean patients and identify differences in the pattern of skin diseases between elderly patients and the rest of the population. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 858,117 patients who attended the National Skin Centre between 2004 to 2018. Prevalence was calculated by grouping International Classification of Diseases codes into different categories of skin conditions based on Global Burden of Disease and American Academy of Dermatology classifications. Years lost to disability (YLD) and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) were calculated to report the morbidity and mortality of skin diseases. Differences of each skin condition between age groups were compared. RESULTS The three most prevalent dermatoses across all age groups were dermatitis (33.3%), acne vulgaris (8.3%) and viral skin diseases (7.5%). The top three most common skin conditions among the elderly were dermatitis (37.7%), viral skin diseases (6.2%), and fungal skin diseases (4.3%). Decubitus ulcers, keratinocyte carcinomas and scabies represented a significant proportion of YLD per 100,000 in the elderly (p <0.001). Malignant melanomas, keratinocyte carcinomas, cellulitis, pyoderma, and decubitus ulcers contributed to high DALY in patients aged 70 - 80 years old. CONCLUSION Aligning health systems with specific healthcare needs will reduce the disproportionately high burden of skin disease observed in the elderly.

Abstract
We developed an angular-resolved scattered-light diagnostic station (ARSDS) to extend the study of laser-plasma instabilities (LPIs) by simultaneously diagnosing their features at different angles in a single shot. The ARSDS angularly samples the scattered light using an array of fibers with flexible setups. The collected light is detected with an imaging spectrometer, a streaked spectrometer, or a fiber-optic spectrometer to provide time-integrated/time-resolved spectral information. The ARSDS was implemented at Shenguang-II Upgrade laser facility for the double-cone ignition campaigns. Preliminary results confirm the importance of an angular-resolved detection due to the angular dependence of LPI processes, such as stimulated Raman scattering.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) from China and compare these features with patients from Europe/North America. Methods: We reviewed case reports published between 1990 and 2020 with the key words of "Takotsubo syndrome" "stress cardiomyopathy" "apical balloon syndrome" and "broken heart syndrome", in Wanfang, CNKI, Pubmed and Web of Science databases, and 1 294 articles were identified, including 128 articles reporting 163 cases in China and 1 166 articles reporting 1 256 cases in Europe/North America. The characteristics of demographics, triggers, symptoms, electrocardiogram, echocardiography, left ventriculogram,coronary angiography, treatment and prognosis were analyzed and compared between Chinese and European/North American cases. Results: A total of 1 294 articles (1 419 cases: 163 from China, 1 256 from Europe/North America) were included in the final analysis. The characteristics of Chinese cases included: (1) demographic:the age was (59.6±16.9) years, which was similar with that of European/North American ((59.7±17.4) years, P=0.90), and female accounting for 78.5% (128/163), which was lower than that of European/North American (85.4% (1 073/1 256), P=0.02). (2) Triggers:mental triggers accounted for 48.5% (79/163), physical triggers accounted for 43.6% (71/163), and no triggers accounted for 7.9% (13/163), respectively. Compared with Europe/North America, the ratio of patients with mental triggers was higher in China, while the ratio of patients with physical triggers and no triggers was lower (P<0.05). (3) Symptoms: chest pain (52.8% (86/163)), chest tightness (35.0% (57/163)), shortness of breath (33.1% (54/163)), dizziness (16.0% (26/163)), sweating (15.3% (25/163)), palpitations (12.3% (20/163)), syncope (9.2% (15/163)) abdominal pain/diarrhea (8.6% (14/163)), hypotension (7.4% (12/163)), and fatigue (1.2% (2/163)) were illustrated in sequence. Compared with patients in Europe/North America, the ratio of patients with chest tightness, dizziness, sweating, palpitations, abdominal pain/diarrhea was higher in Chinese patients, while the ratio of patients with hypotension was lower in Chinese patients (P<0.05). (4) Electrocardiogram: main manifestations were myocardial ischemia symptoms, such as ST-segment elevation (63.8% (104/163)), T wave inversion (46.0% (75/163)), ST-segment depression (8.6% (14/163)). Compared with European/North American, the ratio of patients with ST-segment elevation, T wave inversion, and atrioventricular block was higher in Chinese patients (P<0.05). (5) Echocardiography and imaging:apical dyskinesia (59.5% (97/163)) and apical/left ventricular bulbar dilation (36.2%(59/163)) dominated the echocardiography findings. Compared with European/North American, the ratio of patients with apical dyskinesia, apical/left ventricular bulbar dilation, and mitral regurgitation was higher in Chinese patients, while the ratio of patients with dyskinesia in other parts and left ventricular ejection fraction<50% was lower in Chinese patients (P<0.05). Left ventricular angiography showed 36.2% (59/163) of apical dyskinesia in Chinese patients, which was higher than that reported in European/North American patients, and 38.7% (63/163) of apical/left ventricular bulbar dilation was reported in Chinese patients, which was similar to that reported in European/North American patients. Coronary angiography showed percent of no stenosis or stenosis less than 50% was 87.1% (142/163), which was similar to that reported in European/North American patients (P>0.05). The typical type of TTS accounted for 96.3% (157/163), which was significantly higher than that reported in European/ American patients, while the ratio of basal type and midventricular type was lower (P<0.01). (6) Treatment and prognosis:the applied drugs in China were listed in order as following, β-blockers (41.1% (67/163)), antiplatelet agents (37.4%(61/163)), ACEI/ARB (36.2%(59/163)), anticoagulants (27.0%(44/163)), diuretics (19.6% (32/163)), etc. Compared with Europe/North America, the ratio of antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, statins, diuretics, and nitrates use was higher in China (P<0.05), while the use of oxygen therapy and IABP was similar (P>0.05). The hospital mortality in China was 5.5% (9/163), during 1-year follow-up the recurrence rate was 3.7% (6/163) and the mortality was 0. The prognosis was similar with that in Europe/North America. Conclusions: Compared with TTS cases in Europe/North America, TTS cases in China also occur usually in middle-aged and elderly women, most of whom have mental/physical triggers and typical imaging manifestations, followed by a low hospital mortality rate and recurrence rate.

Abstract
Curcumin has been testified to repress the development of multiple tumor cells. Nevertheless, the function of curcumin in colorectal cancer (CRC) is not completely clarified. This research was to explore the influence of curcumin on the development of CRC cells and its mechanism. An examination of circular RNA (circ) HN1, microRNA (miR)-302a-3p and phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 3 (PIK3R3) levels in clinical tissues was performed. Assessments of cell development including proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition were conducted. The effects of curcumin and circHN1 were verified by in vivo tumor implantation experiments. The interaction of miR-302a-3p with circHN1 or PIK3R3 was analyzed. Curcumin repressed CRC cell development in a concentration-dependent manner. CircHN1 expression was augmented in CRC. Augmentation of circHN1 was able to turn around the repressive effects of curcumin on CRC cells. In vivo experiments indicated that low expression of circHN1 further promoted curcumin-mediated inhibition of CRC tumor growth. MiR-302a-3p was a target of circHN1, and suppression of miR-302a-3p was able to turn around the treatment effect of curcumin on CRC cells. Additionally, PIK3R3 was targeted by miR-302a-3p, and curcumin modulated the malignancy of CRC cells through the circHN1/miR-302a-3p/PIK3R3 pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between fasting blood glucose level and thromboembolism events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Methods: This was an observational study based on data from a multicenter, prospective Chinese atrial fibrillation registry cohort, which included 18 703 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in 31 hospitals in Beijing from August 2011 to December 2018. Patients were divided into 5 groups according to status of comorbid diabetes and fasting glucose levels at admission: normal blood glucose (normal glucose group), pre-diabetes group, strict glycemic control group, average glycemic control group and poor glycemic control group. Patients were followed up by telephone or outpatient service every 6 months. The primary follow-up endpoint was thromboembolic events, including ischemic stroke and systemic embolism. The secondary endpoint was the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death and thromboembolic events. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multifactorial Cox regression were used to analyze the correlation between fasting glucose levels and endpoint events. Results: The age of 18 703 patients with NVAF was (63.8±12.0) years, and there were 11 503 (61.5%) male patients. There were 11 877 patients (63.5%) in normal blood glucose group, 2 023 patients (10.8%)in pre-diabetes group, 1 131 patients (6.0%) in strict glycemic control group, 811 patients in average glycemic control group and 2 861 patients(4.3%) in poor glycemic control group. Of the 4 803 diabetic patients, 1 131 patients (23.5%) achieved strict glycemic control, of whom 328 (29.0%) were hypoglycemic (fasting blood glucose level<4.4 mmol/L at admission). During a mean follow-up of (51±23) months (up to 82 months), thromboembolic events were reported in 984 patients (5.3%). The survival curve analysis of Kaplan Meier showed that the incidence rates of thromboembolic events in normal glucose group, pre-diabetes group, strict glycemic control group, average glycemic control group and poor glycemic control group were 1.10/100, 1.41/100, 2.09/100, 1.46/100 and 1.71/100 person-years, respectively (χ²=53.0, log-rank P<0.001). The incidence rates of composite endpoint events were 1.86/100, 2.17/100, 4.08/100, 2.58/100, 3.16/100 person-years (χ²=72.3, log-rank P<0.001). The incidence of thromboembolic events and composite endpoint events in the other four groups were higher than that in the normal blood glucose group (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with normal glucose group, the risk of thromboembolism increased in pre-diabetes group(HR=1.23, 95%CI 1.00-1.51, P=0.049), strict glycemic control group(HR=1.32, 95%CI 1.06-1.65, P=0.013) and poor glycemic control group(HR=1.26, 95%CI 1.01-1.58, P=0.044). Conclusion: Both high or low fasting glucose may be an independent risk factor for thromboembolic events in patients with NVAF.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy within the first 24 h post extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (ECMO) and the impact of early efficacy on the prognosis of adult patients with fulminant myocarditis (FM). Methods: This retrospective case analysis study included hospitalized patients (age≥18 years) who were diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis from November 2016 to May 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Patients were divided into survival or non-survival groups according to treatment outcomes. The age, sex, treatments, drug use, ECMO use, clinical and laboratory data (before and 24 h after the use of ECMO) were analyzed. The change rate of clinical and laboratory data after 24 h use of ECMO was calculated to find differences between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors with in-hospital death and complication between the two groups. Results: A total of 38 FM patients treated with ECMO were included. There were 23 cases (60.5%) in the survival group, aged (39.6±13.7) years, and 17 (73.9%) cases were female. The total ECMO time was (134.4±71.3)h. There were 15 cases (39.5%) in non-survival group, aged (40.0±15.8) years, and there were 12(80.0%) female, the ECMO time was (120.1±72.4) h in this group. The proportion of tracheal intubation and continuous renal replacement therapy in the survivor group and dosage of norepinephrine within 24 h after ECMO implantation were significantly less than in non-survival group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in all efficacy related biochemical indexes between two groups before ECMO use. The levels of lactic acid, procalcitonin, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase-MB, cardiac troponin I and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide prosoma were significantly less in survival group than in non-survival group at 24 h after the use of ECMO (all P<0.05). Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher 24 h change rate of creatinine (OR=0.587, 95%CI 0.349-0.986, P=0.044) and creatine kinase-MB (OR=0.177, 95%CI 0.037-0.841, P=0.029) were positively correlated with reduced risk of in-hospital mortality. The central hemorrhage and acute kidney injury in survival group were less than in non-survivor group (P<0.05). Conclusions: After 24 h early use of ECMO in FM patients, the improvement of various efficacy related biochemical test indexes in the survival group was better than that in the non-survival group. Faster reduction of creatine kinase-MB and creatinine values within 24 h ECMO use is positively correlated with reduced risk of in-hospital mortality in adult patients with FM.

Abstract
Aims Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard for the diagnosis and staging of portal hypertension. Previous studies have shown that it underestimates pre-sinusoidal portal hypertension. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided portal pressure gradient (EUS-PPG) can safely measure direct portal vein pressure (PVP) and bridge this diagnostic gap. However, EUS-PPG has so far been performed with patients under deep sedation which can alter HVPG measurement and lead to misclassification of portal hypertension. Ketamine, a conscious sedation agent, has minimal effect on portal hemodynamics. We present our center’s experience with EUS-PPG under ketamine and low dose midazolam. Methods We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients undergoing EUS-PPG with conscious sedation using ketamine and low-dose midazolam (<0.02 mg/kg) at the McGill University Health Centre from February to May 2021. Patients were placed in the left lateral position. Hepatic vein and portal vein were located through EUS via a trans-gastric/hepatic approach. A through the scope 25-gauge needle attached to a manometer was advanced through the liver to measure hepatic vein pressure (HVP) and portal vein pressure (PVP). Three measurements were sampled per vessel and mean pressure differences calculated to obtain PPG. PPG was considered reliable if the differences between the values was no more than 1mmHg. Results Three patients underwent EUS-PPG for evaluation of pre-sinusoidal portal hypertension. Cirrhosis was excluded in all patients based on recent liver biopsy or transient elastography. The first patient is a 69-year-old man with splenomegaly and recanalization of the paraumbilical vein on imaging. He received 80 mg of ketamine and no midazolam. HVPG measured was 1 mmHg. EUS-PPG was successful with PPG of 6 mmHg (HVP= 7 mmHg, and PVP= 13 mmHg). The second patient is a 42-year-old woman with previous sleeve gastrectomy and known with portal cavernoma. She received 120 mg of ketamine and 1 mg of midazolam. EUS-PPG was technically difficult due to respiratory movements. The measurement was not considered reliable as differences in PPG were as high as 2mmHg. In this case, PPG was 0mmHg (HVP= 15mmHg, and PVP= 15mmHg). The third patient, a 74-year-old man with hepatic steatosis and splenomegaly received 70 mg of ketamine and 1 mg of midazolam. EUS-PPG was successful (HVP= 3mmHg, PVP= 3mmHg) yielding a PPG 0mmHg. All patients tolerated the procedure well with no procedural or sedation-related complications Conclusions Our early experience suggests that EUS-PPG can be successfully and safely performed in patients under conscious sedation with ketamine and low-dose midazolam. This combination may avoid deep sedation with high dose midazolam or propofol which are known to alter accuracy of HVPG. ![]()

Abstract
Radiofrequency coblation (RFC) is a relatively new device that has been used in several transoral procedures. Currently, clinical data on its use for excising lingual thyroglossal duct cyst (LTGDC) are lacking. Herein, we conducted this retrospective case series to explore the feasibility and efficacy of RFC-assisted transoral surgery (RFC-TOS) in excising LTGDC. A total of 12 LTGDC patients between 2013 and 2020 were retrospectively studied. The cysts of these patients were all fully removed along the boundary to the depth of the hyoid using RFC wands. All surgeries were completed within 30 minutes. Only one patient had an intraoperative blood loss of more than 10 ml. All patients started oral feeding on the day of operation. The mean postoperative hospital stay was only 3.3 days (range 1-8 days). No surgical-related short-term and long-term complications were observed. One patient was lost to follow up, and no recurrences occurred during a mean follow-up period of 52.7 months among the other 11 patients. Therefore, we believe that RFC is a reliable tool in transoral operation for treating LTGDC. LTGDC patients who underwent RFC-TOS showed quick recovery, low risks of complications, and excellent clinical and functional outcomes.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE WIPK-NtLTP4 module improves the resistance to R. solanacearum via upregulating the expression of defense-related genes, increasing the antioxidant enzyme activity, and promoting stomatal closure in tobacco. Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are a class of small lipid binding proteins that play important roles in biotic and abiotic stresses. The previous study revealed that NtLTP4 positively regulates salt and drought stresses in Nicotiana tabacum. However, the role of NtLTP4 in biotic stress, especially regarding its function in disease resistance remains unclear. Here, the critical role of NtLTP4 in regulating resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum (R. solanacearum), a causal agent of bacterial wilt disease in tobacco, was reported. The NtLTP4-overexpressing lines markedly improved the resistance to R. solanacearum by upregulating the expression of defense-related genes, increasing the antioxidant enzyme activity, and promoting stomatal closure. Moreover, NtLTP4 interacted with wound-induced protein kinase (WIPK; a homolog of MAPK3 in tobacco) and acted in a genetically epistatic manner to WIPK in planta. WIPK could directly phosphorylate NtLTP4 to positively regulate its protein abundance. Taken together, these results broaden the knowledge about the functions of the WIPK-NtLTP4 module in disease resistance and may provide valuable information for improving tobacco plant tolerance to R. solanacearum.

Drought is the main factor restricting peanut growth, but the molecular mechanism underlying peanut drought tolerance remains unclear. Herein, the seedling stage of drought-resistant peanut cultivar J11 was subjected to drought stress, and its proteomic profile was systematically analysed by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), the results of which were further complemented with our previous transcriptome results. A total of 4,018 proteins were identified by proteomic analysis, which revealed that the expression levels of 69 proteins were altered under drought stress. Among the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), 50 were upregulated, and 19 were downregulated. The most enriched metabolic pathways for these DEPs were those involving phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction. The proteomic data and previous transcriptome results revealed 44 groups of genes/proteins with the same expression trend, including a LEA (Late embryogenesis abundant) gene, AhLEA2. Our present study showed that overexpression of the AhLEA2 gene enhanced the drought resistance of transgenic Arabidopsis plants, and the activities of related antioxidant enzymes in the transgenic plants significantly changed. The AhLEA2 gene was found to be located in the cytoplasm and cell membrane by subcellular localization experiments. This work systematically analysed the differentially expressed proteins in peanut in response to drought stress, providing important candidates for further functional analysis of the stress response of peanut. Our results also indicated that AhLEA2 plays an important role in the peanut response to drought stress.

Abstract
We report a new optofluidic resonating phenomenon that naturally links the optical radiation pressure, total internal reflection, capillary wave, and Rayleigh-Plateau instability together. When a transparent liquid jet is radiated by a focused continuous wave laser beam, the highly ordered periodic jet breakup is unexpectedly triggered and maintained. The capillary wave enables the liquid-gas interface to serve as a rotating mirror reflecting the laser beam in a wide range of angles, including the critical angle for total internal reflection. The liquid jet acts as an optical waveguide to periodically transmit the laser beam to the upstream of the jet. The periodic optical beam transmittance inside the liquid jet exerts time-dependent optical pressure to the jet that triggers the Rayleigh-Plateau instability. The jet breakup process locks in at the frequency corresponding to the peak growth rate of the Rayleigh-Plateau instability of the liquid jet, which agrees with the prediction from the dispersion relation of a traveling liquid jet.

Abstract
The adverse health effects of air pollution remains a daunting public health problem globally. The research of the health effects of air pollution provides important evidence for ambient air quality standard establishments and air pollution interventions. In recent years, causal inference has been gradually introduced into the observational study of environmental epidemiology, which provides more statistical method options for the study of causal relationships between air pollution and population health effects. Controlling confounders in observational studies is a major challenge for causal inference. This study introduces the causal inference methods for the identification and control of confounding factors currently used in the study of air pollution and population health effects, in order to provide methodological reference and basis for the causal inference study of air pollution and population health effects in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in regulating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stem cells and the possible pathways involved in this regulatory mechanism. METHODS The Oncomine database, UALCAN database and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database were used to analyze the expression of VEGF in breast cancer and its association with the molecular subtypes and prognosis of breast cancer. Sphere formation assay was carried out to examine the effects of hVEGF165 on sphere formation ability of TNBC MDA-MB-231 cell line; Western blotting and RT-qPCR were performed to detect the expression of the tumor stem cell markers including CD44, c-Myc, Nanog, and ALDH1 and the activation of the related pathways. RESULTS Data from the online databases all showed a significant increase of VEGF expression in breast cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0.0001), and its expression level was associated with the molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Specifically, the expression of VEGF was markedly higher in TNBC than in other subtypes of breast cancer. Survival analysis showed that breast cancer patients with a high VEGF expression had a significantly shortened overall survival (P < 0.0001). In the cell experiments, the sphere formation ability of MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly enhanced after treatment with hVEGF165 (P=0.0029). Compared with the monolayer cells, MDA-MB-231 spheres showed significantly increased expressions of VEGF, NRP-1, CD44, Nanog and c-Myc. Treatment with hVEGF165 resulted in significant time-dependent up-regulation of the expressions of CD44, c-Myc, Nanog and ALDH1 and down-regulation of CD24 expression in the cells. The results of Western blotting demonstrated that treatment with hVEGF165 caused significant activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells. CONCLUSION VEGF promotes cancer stemness of triple-negative breast cancer possibly through the ERK/MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
To investigate the relationship between admission diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and subsequent cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods
This is a retrospective observational study. Consecutive patients ≥65 years of age admitted for ACS at a 2,300-bed tertiary hospital from December 2012 to July 2019 were included. The association between admission DBP and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality during hospitalization and over the follow-up period among this population were analyzed using multivariate COX regression model. Results were presented according to DBP quartiles: Q1, less than 67 mm Hg; Q2, from 67 to 72 mm Hg; Q3, from 73 to 80 mm Hg; and Q4, above 80 mm Hg.
Results
A total of 6 785 patients were included in this cohort study. Mean (SD) patient age was 74.0 (6.5) years, and 47.6% were women. Mean (SD) follow-up time was 2.54 (1.82) years. A non-linear relation was observed between DBP at admission and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality during hospitalization and over the follow-up period using restricted cubic splines. After adjustment for potential confounders, patients in Q3 or Q2 had lower risk for 2-year cardiovascular death by Cox proportional hazard model compared with patients in Q4 (hazard ratio [HR] 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48–0.90, P=0.010, for Q3 vs Q4; and HR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53–0.99, P=0.041, for Q2vs Q4), while patients in Q1 had similar risk for cardiovascular death with that of patients in Q4. Meanwhile, when compared with patients in Q1, patients in Q3 had lower risk for 2-year cardiovascular death (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53–0.97, P=0.033). However, lower or higher admission DBP was not an independent predictor of 2-year all-cause mortality in this population.
Conclusion
Among patients aged ≥65 years admitted for ACS, there is a J-curve relationship between supine admission DBP and risk for 2-year cardiovascular death, with a nadir at 73–80 mm Hg.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and aims
The present study aimed to develop and validate separate risk prediction models for thrombosis events (TEs) and major bleeding (MB) in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery lesions who had undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods and results
TEs were defined as the composite of myocardial infarction recurrence or ischemic cerebrovascular events, whereas MB was defined as the occurrence of bleeding academic research consortium (BARC) 3 or 5 bleeding. The derivation and validation cohorts comprised 2976 patients who underwent primary PCI between January 2010 and June 2017. At a median follow-up of 3.07 years (1122 days), TEs and MB occurred in 167 and 98 patients, respectively. Independent predictors of TEs were older age, prior PCI, non-ST elevated MI (NSTEMI), and stent thrombosis (ST). Independent predictors of MB were triple therapy at discharge, coronary artery bifurcation lesions, lesion restenosis, target lesion of the left main coronary artery, and PTCA. In the derivation and validation cohorts, the areas under the curve were 0.817 and 0.820 for thrombosis and 0.886 and 0.976 for bleeding, respectively. In the derivation cohort, high thrombotic risk (n=755) was associated with a higher 3-year incidence of TEs, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and all-cause death, compared to low risk (n=1275) (p=0.0022, 0.019, 0.012, respectively). High bleeding risk (n=1675) was associated with a higher incidence of bleeding, MACEs, cardiac death, compared to low risk (n=355) (p<0.0001).
Conclusion
Simple risk scores can be useful in predicting the risks of ischemic and bleeding events after primary PCI, thereby stratifying thrombotic or MB risks and facilitating clinical decisions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
At present, it is worth noting that there is a lack of biomarker for the residual risk of thrombosis in patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). D-dimer is an important thrombus marker and widely used in clinical practice.
Purpose
We aim to investigate the correlation between D-dimer and the risk of stent thrombosis (ST) after PCI.
Method
This is a prospective, observational study of 10,724 patients who underwent PCI. The primary endpoint was ST, which was defined according to the Academic Research Consortium including definite, probable, and possible.
Results
Finally, 8565 patients were included in this study after excluding 2159 people with missing D-dimer data or lost to follow-up. After 2-year follow-up, there were 77 ST occurred. D-dimer levels were significantly higher in the ST group (0.33 [0.28, 0.56] μg/ml) than in the non-ST group (0.28 [0.20, 0.41] μg/ml) (P=0.001). Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis showed that patients with high D-dimer levels had higher cumulative ST according to the median D-dimer level (0.28 μg/ml) in the total population, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) subgroup, and stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) subgroup, respectively. (log-rank test, all P<0.001) (Figure 1). After multivariate-adjusted cox hazard analysis, high D-dimer levels (≥0.28 μg/ml) were significantly associated with ST in the total population (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29–3.95, P=0.005) and ACS subgroup (HR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.09–4.16, P=0.027); however, we did not find a statistically significant in the SCAD subgroup (HR: 2.56, 95% CI: 0.92–7.1, P=0.072).
Conclusion
In this real world and large sample data study, we reported for the first time that D-dimer was strong independent thrombosis biomarker in patient who underwent PCI. In the future, we may use D-dimer to guide individualized antithrombotic therapy after PCI.

Despite intense statins therapy, patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level of more than 1.8 mmol/L still have residual cholesterol risk. Premature triple-vessel disease (PTVD) is a severe CHD. Recent studies have established that both residual cholesterol risks and PTVD were associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) is involved in exogenous cholesterol absorption and endogenous cholesterol synthesis respectively, which play a vital part on dyslipidemia.
Purpose
The present study aimed to investigate the association between NPC1L1 and HMGCR gene polymorphisms and residual cholesterol risk in patients with PTVD.
Methods
A total of 609 PTVD patients treated with statins were consecutively enrolled from April 2004 to February 2011. Residual cholesterol risk was defined as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) >1.8 mmol/L. According to LDL-C levels, the patients were divided into two groups: residual cholesterol risk group (n=521, >1.8 mmol/L) and non-residual cholesterol risk group (n=88, LDL-C ≤1.8 mmol/L). Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of NPC1L1 gene including rs11763759, rs4720470, rs2072183 and rs2073547 and three SNPs of HMGCR gene including rs12916, rs2303151 and rs4629571 were genotyped.
Results
After adjusted for age and sex, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that rs12916 of HMGCR gene was associated with 2.082 times higher residual cholesterol risk in recessive model (OR: 2.082, 95% CI: 1.156–3.749, P=0.015), and the homozygous TT of rs12916 (OR: 2.262, 95% CI: 1.155–4.429, P=0.017) was associated with 2.262 times higher residual cholesterol risk in codominant model while there was no significant association for the heterozygous CT of rs12916 in codominant model (OR: 1.140, 95% CI: 0.678–1.917, P=0.621). There was no significant association between the SNPs of NPC1L1 gene and residual cholesterol risk in various models (P>0.05).
Conclusions
We reported for the first time that the rs12916 on HMGCR gene were associated with residual cholesterol risk in patients with PTVD, providing new insight in genetic treatment in dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Metabolic syndrome is associated with increased incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in patients initially free from these diseases. However, its prognostic value in patients with established coronary artery diseases remains controversial.
Purpose
Therefore, we aimed to illustrate the prevalence and investigate the impact of metabolic syndrome in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome.
Methods
We conducted a large registry of consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome referred to primary percutaneous coronary intervention and those with multivessel diseases were eligible for this analysis. Metabolic syndrome was defined using modified criteria based on the Adult Treatment Panel III definition from the National Cholesterol Education Program. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
Results
A total of 2532 patients were included in current analysis and 993 (39.2%) of them had metabolic syndrome while 1539 (60.8%) did not. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome increased over the study period (p for trend = 0.005). There was a significant decline of metabolic syndrome prevalence in patients over 60 years old (p for trend = 0.002) and females had a higher prevalence than their male counterparts (61.5% verse 32.9%, p<0.001). Over a median follow-up of 2.3 years, metabolic syndrome was not significantly associated with MACE (adjusted 95% CI 0.92 to 1.54). In addition, there was no significant difference observed between two groups in other individual outcomes, namely all-cause death, cardiac death, stroke, myocardial infarction, and any revascularization.
Conclusions
Metabolic syndrome was frequently observed in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. Patients with metabolic syndrome were more likely to be young and female. However, it was not an independent predictor for MACE after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in those patients.

Abstract
Suboptimal diet is one of the most important controllable risk factors for non-communicable diseases. However, randomized controlled trials make it difficult to quantify the causal association between specific dietary factors and health outcomes. In recent years, the rapid development of causal inference has provided a robust theoretical and methodological tool for making full use of observational research data and producing high-quality nutritional epidemiologic research evidence. The causal graph model visualizes the complex causal relationship system by integrating a large amount of prior knowledge and provides a basic framework for identifying confounding and determining causal effect estimation strategies. Different analysis strategies such as adjusting confounders, instrumental variables, or mediation analysis can be created based on other causal graphs. This paper introduces the idea of the causal graph model and the characteristics of various analysis strategies and their application in nutritional epidemiology research, aiming to promote the application of the causal graph model in nutrition and provide references and suggestions for the follow-up research.

Abstract
Huntington disease (HD) is a single-gene autosomal dominant inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by a polyglutamine expansion of the protein huntingtin (HTT). Huntingtin-associated protein 1 (HAP1) is the first protein identified as an interacting partner of huntingtin, which is directly associated with HD. HAP1 is mainly expressed in the nervous system and is also found in the endocrine system and digestive system, and then involves in the occurrence of the related endocrine diseases, digestive system diseases, and cancer. Understanding the function of HAP1 could help elucidate the pathogenesis that HTT plays in the disease process. Therefore, this article attempts to summarize the latest research progress of the role of HAP1 and its application for diseases in recent years, aiming to clarify the functions of HAP1 and its interacting proteins, and provide new research ideas and new therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer and related diseases.

Abstract
Objective To assess the current status of caesarean delivery (CD) in China, propose reference CD rates for China overall, and by regions, investigate the main indications for CDs and identify possible areas for safe reduction. Design A multicentre cross‐sectional study. Setting A total of 94 hospitals across 23 provinces in China. Population A total of 73 977 randomly selected deliveries. Methods We used a modified Robson classification to characterise CDs in subgroups and by regions, and the World Health Organization (WHO) C‐Model to calculate reference CD rates. Main outcome measures CD rates in China. Results In 2015–2016, the overall CD rate in China was 38.9% (95% CI 38.6–39.3%). Considering the obstetric characteristics of the population, the multivariable model‐based reference CD rate was estimated at 28.5% (95% CI 28.3–28.8%). Accordingly, an absolute reduction of 10.4% (or 26.7% relative reduction) may be considered. The CD rate varied substantially by region. Previous CD was the most common indication in all regions, accounting for 38.2% of all CDs, followed by maternal request (9.8%), labour dystocia (8.3%), fetal distress (7.7%) and malpresentation (7.6%). Overall, 12.7% of women had prelabour CDs, contributing to 32.8% of the total CDs. Conclusions Nearly 39% of births were delivered by caesarean in China but a reduction of this rate by a quarter may be considered attainable. Repeat CD contributed more than one‐third of the total CDs. Given the large variation in maternal characteristics, region‐specific or even hospital‐specific reference CD rates are needed for precision management of CD. Tweetable abstract The caesarean rate in 2015–2016 in China was 38.9%, whereas the reference rate was 28.5%. The caesarean rate in 2015–2016 in China was 38.9%, whereas the reference rate was 28.5%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the influences of propofol on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats through the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS The models of intestinal I/R injury were first successfully established. All rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely, S group, I/R group, P group and P + S group. Pathological-morphological changes, injury score and wet-to-dry weight ratio of intestinal tissues as well as oxidative stress indexes in each group of rats were detected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to measure the levels of inflammatory factors such as creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in each group of rats. Furthermore, Western blotting (WB) assay was applied to determine the protein expression levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB in different groups. RESULTS Intestinal tissue injury was the severest in I/R group, with the infiltration of massive inflammatory cells and oozing of blood (Figure 1A, I/R). Compared with those in I/R group, the infiltration of inflammatory cells and damage to intestinal villi were notably relieved in P group and P + S group, revealing that the intestinal mucosal injury was remarkably repaired in P group and P + S group (Figure 1A, P). Moreover, the intestinal tissue injury score was evidently higher in I/R group, P group and P + S group than that in S group (p<0.05). However, it was markedly lower in P group and P + S group than that in I/R group (p<0.05). I/R group, P group and P + S group exhibited significantly increased wet-to-dry weight ratio of intestinal tissues in comparison with S group (p<0.05). However, P group and P + S group exhibited distinctly lower wet-to-dry weight ratio of intestinal tissues than I/R group (p<0.05). The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was reduced prominently, while that of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was elevated significantly in P group and P + S group in contrast with those in I/R group (p<0.05). On the contrary, P + S group displayed remarkably lower MDA content and higher SOD content than P group (p<0.05). The levels of CK-MB, TNF-α and IL-6 in the blood rose markedly in I/R group compared with those in S group (p<0.05). However, they declined evidently in P group and P + S group in contrast with those in I/R group (p<0.05). Besides, the protein expression level of phosphorylated p38 MAPK was significantly higher in I/R group, P group and P + S group than that in S group (p<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in the protein expression of total p38 MAPK among the four groups (p>0.05). However, the protein expression level of phosphorylated p38 MAPK was distinctly down-regulated in P group and P + S group in comparison with that in I/R group (p<0.05). Finally, I/R group, P group and P + S group had a prominently higher protein expression level of NF-κB than S group (p<0.05). However, P group and P + S group exerted a significantly lower protein expression level of NF-κB than I/R group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Propofol decreases the release of inflammatory factors and alleviates intestinal edema by inhibiting the p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby mitigating and treating the intestinal I/R injury in rats.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the intensity and epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation among inactive HBsAg carriers (IHC) of rural areas in Ji'nan. Methods: In 2018 and 2020, follow-up investigations were conducted on IHC identified in the population physical examination in Zhangqiu district of Ji'nan. The results of the two follow-up visits were compared to analyze the incidence and distribution characteristics of HBV reactivation in IHC at the community level. Results: A total of 424 IHC completed two follow-up visits, and 47 cases of HBV reactivation were found, the cumulative reactivation rate was 11.08%, and the incidence density was 5.46/100 person-years. Multivariate analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, drinking , family history of liver disease and chronic diseases were not associated with HBV reactivation (P>0.05), and baseline HBV DNA load was associated with reactivation (P<0.05), in the HBV DNA level ≥1 000 IU/ml group, the reactivation rate could reach 18.92%. After reactivation, the mean level of ALT increased from baseline and the abnormal rate increased, liver function tended to be abnormal in reactivated patients. 4 (8.51%) reactivators had hepatitis, and 1 (2.13%) had jaundice hepatitis. Conclusions: The incidence of HBV reactivation was higher among IHC in rural communities in Ji'nan. Most of the reactivators were asymptomatic or mildly reactivated. Follow-up of inactive HBsAg patients should be strengthened and changes in ALT and HBV DNA levels should be closely monitored.

Non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP), a biological means to block the transmission of HIV, is recommended by European countries, USA and WHO to use in HIV high-risk groups, but its utilization rate is still very low. The information-motivation-behavioral skills model (IMB) can accurately explain the prevalence and change of health behaviors. Based on this model, this paper summarizes the progress in research of the influencing factors for nPEP use to provide a basis for further research to promote the use of nPEP.
