Abstract
AIMS This study compared the bag-mediated filtration system (BMFS) and standard WHO two-phase separation methods for poliovirus (PV) environmental surveillance, examined factors impacting PV detection and monitored Sabin-like (SL) PV type 2 presence with withdrawal of oral polio vaccine type 2 (OPV2) in April 2016. METHODS AND RESULTS Environmental samples were collected in Nairobi, Kenya (Sept 2015-Feb 2017), concentrated via BMFS and two-phase separation methods, then assayed using the WHO PV isolation algorithm and intratypic differentiation diagnostic screening kit. SL1, SL2 and SL3 were detected at higher rates in BMFS than two-phase samples (P < 0·05). In BMFS samples, SL PV detection did not significantly differ with volume filtered, filtration time or filter shipment time (P > 0·05), while SL3 was detected less frequently with higher shipment temperatures (P = 0·027). SL2 was detected more frequently before OPV2 withdrawal in BMFS and two-phase samples (P < 1 × 10-5 ). CONCLUSIONS Poliovirus was detected at higher rates with the BMFS, a method that includes a secondary concentration step, than using the standard WHO two-phase method. SL2 disappearance from the environment was commensurate with OPV2 withdrawal. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The BMFS offers comparable or improved PV detection under the conditions in this study, relative to the two-phase method.

Abstract
An Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging (ECEI) data analysis module has been developed for the OMFIT platform to accommodate the needs of users at the DIII-D tokamak for physics applications. The user can easily access the ECEI spatial observation windows in the plasma that are calculated based on the automatically retrieved hardware setup and available DIII-D equilibria, perform spectral analysis, and obtain 2D electron temperature fluctuation images. The module provides a powerful data post-processing package for extracting important physics parameters from the 2D measurements, including the radial structure and poloidal mode number of Alfven eigenmodes, as well as the frequency-vs-wavenumber dispersion relationship of broadband MHD. The module propagates characterized synthetic fluctuations for the user, so one can perform forward modeling tasks with simple analytical fluctuations.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the relevance of cytogenetic or molecular genetic abnormalities to clinical variables, including clinical and laboratory characteristics and prognosis in Chinese patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Methods A total of 634 consecutive patients diagnosed with MDS at The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2008 to May 2018 were retrospectively included in this study. All patients had evaluable cytogenetic analysis, and 425 patients had MDS‐related mutations sequencing. Results 38.6% of patients displayed abnormal karyotypes. The most common cytogenetic abnormality was +8 (31%). Sole +8 was related to female (p = 0.002), hemoglobin >10 g/dL (p = 0.03), and <60 years old (p = 0.046). TP53 mutations were associated with complex karyotype (CK) (p < 0.001). DNMT3A mutations correlated with ‐Y (p = 0.01) whereas NRAS mutations correlated with 20q‐ (p = 0.04). The overall survival (OS) was significantly inferior in patients with +8 compared with those with normal karyotype (NK) (p = 0.003). However, the OS of sole +8 and +8 with one additional karyotypic abnormality was not different from NK (p = 0.16), but +8 with two or more abnormalities had a significantly shorter OS than +8 and +8 with one additional karyotypic abnormality (p = 0.02). In multivariable analysis, ≥60 years old, marrow blasts ≥5% and TP53 mutations were independent predictors for poor OS (p < 0.05), whereas SF3B1 mutations indicated better prognosis. Male IDH1 and IDH2 mutations and marrow blasts ≥5% were independent risk factors for worse leukemia free survival (LFS) (p < 0.05). Conclusion In this population of Chinese patients, trisomy 8 is the most common karyotypic abnormality. Patients with +8 showed a poorer OS compared with patients with NK. Sole +8 and +8 with one additional karyotypic abnormality had similar OS with NK, whereas +8 with two or more abnormalities had a significantly shorter OS. DNMT3A mutations correlated with ‐Y and NRAS mutations correlated with 20q‐. TP53 mutations were associated with CK and had a poor OS. SF3B1 mutations indicated a favorable OS. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations independently indicated inferior LFS.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the predictive value of platelet aggregation rate in patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants. Methods: This prospective nested case-control study enrolled 72 preterm infants with gestational age<32 weeks, who were admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Xuzhou Central Hospital from August 2017 to October 2019. The echocardiography was performed on the 4th to 5th day after birth, and the preterm infants who met the diagnostic criteria of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) were included into hsPDA group, and the control group was comprised of matched preterm infants with non-hsPDA according to the proportion of 1∶2. The basic characteristics of the preterm infants were recorded, and their complete blood counts and platelet aggregation function were examined. Clinical data were compared by student's t test and chi-square test between the two groups. The risk factors and their predictive values were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: There were 24 preterm infants (16 boys) in the hsPDA group, and 48 (30 boys) in the control group. The incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) grade II-IV in the hsPDA group was higher than that in the control group (67% (16/24) vs. 27% (13/48), χ²=10.422, P=0.001). The thrombocytocrit and adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation rate in the hsPDA group were lower than those in the control group (0.002 1±0.000 9 vs. 0.002 8±0.000 9, 0.21±0.10 vs. 0.32±0.07, t=-3.043 and -5.093, P=0.004 and <0.01, respectively); while the platelet volume in the hsPDA group was greater than that in the control group ((10.3±2.4) vs. (9.2±2.0) fl, t = 2.713, P = 0.033). The other platelet parameters (platelet count, platelet distribution width, and large platelet ratio) and platelet aggregation rate induced by other inducers (collagen, epinephrine and arachidonic acid) were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). The low platelet aggregation rate induced by adenosine diphosphate and low thrombocytocrit were independent risk factors for hsPDA in preterm infants (OR=4.525 and 3.994, 95%CI: 1.305-15.689 and 1.143-13.958, respectively). And the adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation rate had moderate predictive value for hsPDA in preterm infants, as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.809, and the cutoff value was 0.245 with 0.67 sensitivity and 0.86 specificity. Conclusions: Poor platelet aggregation function and low thrombocytocrit are independent risk factors for hsPDA in preterm infants with gestational age<32 weeks. Low platelet aggregation rate induced by adenosine diphosphate has moderate predictive value for hsPDA patency.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the pregnancy outcome, influencing factors and recurrence of fertility-preserving therapy for women with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) or endometrial carcinoma (EC). Methods: The multi-center retrospective study included 107 women with AEH or EC for fertility-preserving therapy in 10 hospitals from January 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2018. The clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate and recurrence of 66 patients with urgent child-bearing requirements after fertility-preserving treatment were analyzed. Results: (1) Among the 66 AEH and EC women with urgent child bearing requirements, 24 women chose spontaneous pregnancy, the clinical pregnancy rate was 54.2% (13/24) and the live birth rate was 41.7% (10/24), the median time from fertility-preserving therapy withdrawal to clinical pregnancy was 5.5 months. Forty-two women chose assisted reproductive technology (ART), the clinical pregnancy rate was 59.5% (25/42) and the live birth rate was 35.7% (15/42), the median time from fertility-preserving therapy withdrawal to clinical pregnancy was 19.5 months. The time from fertility-preserving therapy withdrawal to pregnancy in women receiving ART was significantly longer than that in women with spontaneous pregnancy (P=0.048). (2) Age and intrauterine adhesions were independent factors affecting the clinical pregnancy rate (P<0.05). (3) Among 107 patients with AEH or EC, the recurrence rate was 27.1% (29/107). Among the 42 cases who chose ART, 9 of them recurred before ART treatment, who received the fertility-preserving therapy again and then ART treatment, 8 women got clinical pregnancy,5 of them delivered at least a live birth. Conclusions: Women with AEH or EC could achieved satisfactory clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate after fertility-preserving therapy. Age and intrauterine adhesions are independent factors affecting clinical pregnancy rate. The women with recurrent AEH or EC could be treated with fertility-preserving therapy again and get a satisfactory pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often persists into adulthood and causes adverse effects on social functioning. The present study aimed to widely investigate the predictors, particularly childhood intelligence quotient (IQ) and family environment factors, on adult clinical and academic outcomes in boys with ADHD. Methods: A total of 101 boys with ADHD in a Chinese Han ADHD cohort were followed up 7-10 years later. Baseline ADHD symptoms were evaluated using the parent version of the ADHD Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) and the Chinese version of the Conners' Parent Rating Scale-Revised (CPRS-48). The intelligence of the child was tested by the China-Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (C-WISC), and family function was assessed by the Family Environment Scale-Chinese Edition (FES-CV). Adult ADHD persistence was defined using DSM-IV criteria for ADHD, and academic outcome fell into two categories: higher academic level group (studying in senior middle school or above) and lower academic level group (studying in vocational secondary schools or below). Results: Stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the father's character, impulsive-hyperactive index as measured by the CPRS-48, and intellectual-cultural index as measured by the FES-CV independently predicted clinical outcomes in adults, with an AUC of 0.770 (p < 0.001, 95% CI = 0.678-0.863). The corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 0.743 and 0.727, respectively. The father's education level, family economic level, and verbal IQ (VIQ) on the C-WISC independently predicted adult academic outcomes, with an AUC of 0.870 (p < 0.001, 95% CI = 0.796-0.944). The corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 0.813 and 0.783, respectively. Conclusion: Initial ADHD symptom severity and IQ, father's character and education level, and family atmosphere and function affect adult clinical and academic outcomes. Addressing these areas early may help to improve the prognosis of ADHD into adulthood.

Abstract
The clinical relevance of variant allele frequency (VAF) of recurrent mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) has been increasingly reported. However, the prognostic value of mutational VAF across the genetic spectrum of MDS has not been extensively evaluated. In this study, we profiled the mutational spectrum of 382 newly diagnosed MDS patients using targeted next-generation sequencing. Exploratory analysis found that mutational VAF of some genes including TET2, TP53, and SF3B1 had significant associations with patient survival. Specifically, TET2 VAF ≥ 32% (HR 1.69, P = 0.025) and TP53 VAF ≥ 27% (HR 3.58, P < 0.001) were independently associated with shorter overall survival (OS). In contrast, SF3B1 VAF ≥ 15% had an independent association with better prognosis (HR 0.52, P = 0.048). In addition, high TET2 VAF was associated with an increased response to hypomethylating agents relative to low TET2 VAF (P = 0.009). Patients with high TP53 VAF more often possessed complex karyotypes than those with low VAF (P = 0.034). And patients with high SF3B1 VAF were more frequently classified as MDS with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS) category than those with low VAF (P = 0.012). Meanwhile, we found that for some other genes like EZH2 and NRAS, once their mutations appeared, it meant poor survival regardless of mutational VAF. These findings suggest that mutational VAF of certain genes should be considered into the routine prognostic prediction and risk stratification of MDS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to observe the protective effect of Ulinastatin on myocardial injury induced by doxorubicin (DOX) in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS 30 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control group, DOX group, and Ulinastatin group by random number table method. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with saline, while the DOX group and the Ulinastatin group were injected intraperitoneally with DOX (2 mg/kg) once every other day to establish an acute myocardial injury (AMI) model. In the Ulinastatin group, Ulinastatin (1500 IU/100 mg) was injected intraperitoneally once a day for 2 weeks after the model was established. The changes in cardiac structure were observed with a light microscope, the changes in cardiac function in rats were detected with biochemical kits, and expression of oxidative stress and inflammatory response-related factors were detected by Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS Myocardial tissues in the control group were neatly arranged and dense, with complete and clear structure. The myocardial tissues in the DOX group were disorderly arranged, the interstitial fibrosis was evident, and the myocardial transverse striations broke and disappeared. The structure of tissues in Ulinastatin group was dramatically relieved compared with DOX group. The serum SOD and GSH-Px levels of the DOX groups were significantly lower than those of the control group, while the levels of MDA and ROS were dramatically higher than those of the control group. The serum SOD and GSH-Px level of Ulinastatin group were higher than that of DOX group, and the levels of MDA and ROS were lower than those of DOX group. LDH, AST, ALT, and CK levels were dramatically higher than those in the control group, while the above-mentioned serum myocardial zymogram levels in the Ulinastatin group were decreased. The expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS in the DOX and Ulinastatin groups were dramatically higher than those in the control group, while the expressions of the above inflammatory factors in the Ulinastatin group were all inhibited. CONCLUSIONS Ulinastatin intervention can reduce myocardial injury in rats with DOX. The protective effect may be due to the elimination of oxygen free radicals, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, reduced lipid peroxidation and inflammatory responses, and thus repaired myocardial injury.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of modified Oxford grading scale (MOS) and pelvic floor surface electromyography (sEMG) based on Glazer protocol in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and analyze the correlation between the two methods. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey. A total of 212 subjects in May 2019 were enrolled and divided into SUI group (n=61) and non-SUI group (n=151) based on the commonly used 3 incontinence questions (3IQ). MOS test and sEMG parameters were measured by the same rehabilitator. The sEMG parameters included the mean and variation coefficient in the prerest phase, the maximum and relaxation time of 5 rapid contractions, the mean and variability of EMG in 10 s tonic contraction phase, the mean and variability of EMG in 60 s endurance contraction phase, and the mean and variability of EMG in postrest phase. The differences of the above parameters between SUI group and non-SUI group were compared, the logistic regression and Spearman method were used to analyze the correlation between MOS and sEMG parameters. Results: The prevalence of SUI was 28.8%(61/212) in community, body mass index and delivery mode were the risk factors (all P<0.05). The MOS of the SUI group and the non-SUI group were 3 (2,3) and 3 (3,4), respectively, with significant difference (Z=-2.58, P=0.010). Among the sEMG parameters of SUI group and non-SUI group, the maximum values of phasic contractions were 23.12 (13.65, 37.89), 30.68 (20.28, 47.02) μV, the mean of tonic contractions were 14.32 (9.62, 21.49), 17.65 (12.05, 26.35) μV, and the mean of endurance contractions were 12.78(7.88, 18.76), 16.55(11.13, 22.40) μV, respectively, with statistical significance (Z=-2.34, -2.37, -3.20, all P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression revealed that both the variation coefficient of tonic contractions (OR=157.86, 95%CI: 1.99-12 595.51, P<0.05) and the amplitude of endurance contractions(OR=1.11, 95%CI: 1.03-1.19, P<0.05) were correlated with SUI. The tonic contractions amplitude had the tendency to be related to SUI (OR=0.95, 95%CI: 0.09-1.00, P<0.05). In all subjects, MOS was correlated with the maximum value of rapid contractions, average value of tonic contractions and average value of endurance contractions (r=0.516, 0.503, 0.464, all P<0.05). In SUI group (r=0.510, 0.442, 0.385, all P<0.05), and non-SUI group (r=0.495, 0.524, 0.488, all P<0.05), MOS was correlated with the above parameters. Conclusions: MOS and sEMG based on Glazer protocol indicate that the contractility of pelvic floor muscle decreases in SUI patients. The results of sEMG and MOS are consistent, which can be used for quantitative evaluation of pelvic floor muscle function in SUI patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the protective effect of nicotinamide on chronic hypoxic myocardial cells and its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The H9C2 cell lines were taken as objects of study, and were divided into blank group, hypoxia group and nicotinamide treatment group. The cell viability, apoptosis level, autophagy level and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway activity in each group were detected via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay, Hoechst staining, immunofluorescence staining, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS Nicotinamide could protect the viability of normoxic and chronic hypoxic myocardial cells. Besides, it could also inhibit the expression of caspase3 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in chronic hypoxic myocardial cells, and reduce the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. Furthermore, it could induce the mRNA expression of autophagy-associated gene 5 (ATG5) and increase the expression of autophagy-related proteins. Further study on the mechanism of nicotinamide showed that nicotinamide could inhibit the activity of the mTOR pathway, thus regulating the autophagy. CONCLUSIONS Nicotinamide induces the autophagy of chronic hypoxic myocardial cells by regulating the mTOR pathway, thereby protecting cells from apoptosis.

Abstract
Monolithic, millimeter-wave "system-on-chip" (SoC) technology has been employed in heterodyne receiver integrated circuit radiometers in a newly developed Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging (ECEI) system on the DIII-D tokamak for 2D electron temperature profile and fluctuation evolution diagnostics. A prototype module operating in the E-band (72 GHz-80 GHz) was first employed in a 2 × 10 element array that demonstrated significant improvements over the previous quasi-optical Schottky diode mixer arrays during the 2018 operational campaign of the DIII-D tokamak. For compatibility with International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor relevant scenarios on DIII-D, the SoC ECEI system was upgraded with 20 horn-waveguide receiver modules. Each individual module contains a University of California Davis designed W-band (75 GHz-110 GHz) receiver die that integrates a broadband low noise amplifier, a double balanced down-converting mixer, and a ×4 multiplier on the local oscillator (LO) chain. A ×2 multiplier and two IF amplifiers are packaged and selected to further boost the signal strength and downconvert the signal frequency. The upgraded W-band array exhibits >30 dB additional gain and 20× improvement in noise temperature compared with the previous Schottky diode radio frequency mixer input systems; an internal 8 times multiplier chain is used to bring down the LO frequency below 12 GHz, thereby obviating the need for a large aperture for quasi-optical LO coupling and replacing it with coaxial connectors. Horn-waveguide shielding housing avoids out-of-band noise interference on each individual module. The upgraded ECEI system plays an important role for absolute electron temperature evolution and fluctuation measurements for edge and core region transport physics studies.

Abstract
From June 2017 to June 2018, female sanitation workers engaged in road cleaning in a district of Urumqi City, as well as government and logistics women participating in national health examination in the same community were recruited as particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) exposure group and control group respectively. The contents of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in the PM2.5 exposed group were lower than those in the control group (all P values < 0.05). Further analysis showed that the content of FSH in the exposure group at the age of 35-39, 40-44 and 45-49 years old was lower than that of the control group (all P values < 0.05). The content of LH in the exposed group at the age of 35-39 and 45-49 years old was lower than that of the control group (all P values < 0.05). The content of FSH in the exposed group with the length of service less than 5, about 5-9 and more than 10 years was lower than that of the control group (all P values < 0.05). The content of LH in the exposed group with the length of service about 5-9 and more than 10 year was lower than that of the control group (all P values < 0.05).

Abstract
The recent reports of superconductivity in Nd1-x Sr x NiO2/SrTiO3 heterostructures have reinvigorated interest in potential superconductivity of low-oxidation state nickelates. Synthesis of Ni1+-containing compounds is notoriously difficult. In the current work, a combined sol-gel combustion and high-pressure annealing technique was employed to prepare polycrystalline perovskite Nd1-x Sr x NiO3 (x = 0, 0.1, and 0.2). Metal nitrates and metal acetates were used as starting materials, and the latter were found to be superior to the former in terms of safety and reactivity. The Nd1-x Sr x NiO3 compounds were subsequently reduced to Nd1-x Sr x NiO2 using calcium hydride in a sealed, evacuated quartz tube. To understand the synthesis pathway, the evolution from NdNiO3 to NdNiO2 was monitored using in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction during the reduction process. Electrical transport properties were consistent with an insulator-metal transition occurring between x = 0 and 0.1 for Nd1-x Sr x NiO3. Superconductivity was not observed in our bulk samples of Nd1-x Sr x NiO2. Neutron diffraction experiments at 3 and 300 K were performed on Nd0.9Sr0.1NiO2, in which no magnetic Bragg reflections were observed, and the results of structural Rietveld refinement are provided.

Abstract
Our objective was to develop and validate an electronically controlled hormone-delivery device for reproductive control of cattle. After development and in vitro testing of a prototype device for intravaginal (IVG) hormone release, we aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of inducing luteal regression by automated treatment with PGF2α. The IVG device comprises an outer 3D-printed plastic housing, fluid reservoirs connected to delivery pumps and tubing, a programmable circuit board, and a retention mechanism. For in vitro testing, 4 pumps were programmed to release different target volumes (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mL) in 4 replicates (n = 80). A Bland-Altman plot was constructed to assess the magnitude of disagreement between expected and delivered volumes. Observations fell within acceptable limits of agreement (1.96 standard deviations) >95% of the time, indicating overall good agreement (mean difference = -0.005 mL). To assess in vivo performance of the IVG device, lactating Holstein cows with at least 1 corpus luteum ≥15 mm in diameter were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 treatments: (1) IM-PGF (n = 6): two 25-mg intramuscular doses of PGF2α 24 h apart; (2) DEV-PGF (n = 6): four 25-mg doses of PGF2α released automatically by the IVG device at 10- or 12-h intervals; and (3) DEV-CTL (n = 4): insertion of an empty IVG device (placebo control). Blood samples were collected at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h after treatment. Data were analyzed by ANOVA with repeated measures. All devices (10/10) remained in situ until removed at 48 h. Progesterone (P4) concentrations from 0 to 72 h were affected by treatment, time, and their interaction. Concentrations of P4 did not differ at time 0 but differed from 24 to 72 h: cows in IM-PGF and DEV-PGF had lesser P4 than cows in DEV-CTL. Conversely, P4 did not differ for IM-PGF and DEV-PGF during the experiment. We conclude that the current IVG hormone-releasing device prototype can be programmed to automatically release PGF2α for successful induction of luteal regression in lactating dairy cows.

Abstract
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) evolving from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or higher-risk MDS have limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Our previous single-center study of decitabine followed by low dose idarubicin and cytarabine (D-IA) in patients with myeloid neoplasms showed promising primary results. We therefore conducted a multicenter study of D-IA regimen in AML evolving from MDS and higher-risk MDS. Patients with AML evolving from MDS or refractory anemia with excess blasts type 2 (RAEB-2) (based on the 2008 WHO classification) were included. The D-IA regimen (decitabine, 20 mg/m2 daily, days 1 to 3; idarubicin, 6 mg/m2 daily, days 4 to 6; cytarabine 25 mg/m2 every 12 hours, days 4 to 8; granulocyte colony stimulating factor [G-CSF], 5 μg/kg, from day 4 until neutrophil count increased to 1.0 × 109 /L) was administered as induction chemotherapy. Seventy-one patients were enrolled and treated, among whom 44 (62.0%) had AML evolving from MDS and 27 (38.0%) had RAEB-2. Twenty-eight (63.6%) AML patients achieved complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi): 14 (31.8%) patients had CR and 14 (31.8%) had CRi. Six (22.2%) MDS patients had CR and 15 (55.6%) had marrow complete remission. The median overall survival (OS) was 22.4 months for the entire group, with a median OS of 24.2 months for AML and 20.0 months for MDS subgroup. No early death occurred. In conclusion, the D-IA regimen was effective and well tolerated, representing an alternative option for patients with AML evolving from MDS or MDS subtype RAEB-2.

Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Bactrocera tuberculata (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacinae) was sequenced and annotated. The mitochondrial genome is 15,273 bp (GenBank No. MT196006), containing 72.2% A + T (A 38.4%, C 16.9%, G 10.9%, and T 33.8%), which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. All PCGs were started with ATN (ATA/ATG/ATT/ATC) and terminated with TAA except ND3, which ends with TAG. Additionally, the phylogenetic tree confirmed that B. tuberculata was closely related to Bactrocera diaphora and Bactrocera oleae. The current study would enrich the information about mitogenomes of the fruit flies.

Abstract
Using inelastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulations on a model Zr-Cu-Al metallic glass, we show that transverse phonons persist well into the high-frequency regime, and can be detected at large momentum transfer. Furthermore, the apparent peak width of the transverse phonons was found to follow the static structure factor. The one-to-one correspondence, which was demonstrated for both Zr-Cu-Al metallic glass and a three-dimensional Lennard-Jones model glass, suggests a universal correlation between the phonon dynamics and the underlying disordered structure. This remarkable correlation, not found for longitudinal phonons, underscores the key role that transverse phonons hold for understanding the structure-dynamics relationship in disordered materials.

Abstract
In this study, a organosilicon modified waterborne polyurethane (WPU) is synthesized with polyethylene glycol 1,4-butanediol adipate ester diol (PBA) to form the soft segment, dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA) as the hydrophilic chain extender, and isophorone diisocyanate as the hard segment to synthesize the WPU prepolymer, and aminoethyl aminopropyl dimethicone (AEAPS) as the graft chain extender. The properties of the formed WPU films are then characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and dynamic mechanical analysis. It is found that when the amount of AEAPS in the WPU is increased from 0 to 30 wt%, the particle size of the AEAPS modified WPU emulsion is increased from 84.8 nm to 271.9 nm and maintained high centrifugal stability. Moreover, the water absorption of the WPU film is reduced from 43.4% to 24.1%, and the hardness is enhanced from 3H to 5H, while the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the soft segment of the modified WPU shifts from -37.4 °C to -44.3 °C, and the Tg of the hard segment shifts from 73.6 °C to 118.1 °C. Therefore, the overall performance of AEAPS modified WPU is improved.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of study is to evaluate the effect and complication of preoperative short-term daily recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) treatment for blood-saving in patients undergoing unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS This three-arm randomized clinical trial compared three different rhEPO-based treatment protocols for unilateral primary TKA. Group A: application of daily doses of rhEPO combined with iron supplement starting 3 days before surgery; Group B: application of daily doses of rhEPO combined with iron supplement starting the day of surgery; Group C: iron supplement alone. Perioperative hemoglobin (Hb) level gaps, total perioperative blood loss, reticulocyte levels and treatment-related complications were studied. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were included (35, 35 and 32 patients in Groups A, B and C, respectively). Total blood loss (TBL) in Groups A, B and C was 490.84, 806.76 and 924.21 ml, respectively. Patients in Group A had a significant lower TBL than Groups B and C (A vs. B: P = 0.010; A vs. C: P < 0.001). There was no difference as for TBL between Groups B and C (P = 0.377). Group A patients had significant smaller Hb decline than Group C on the third and fifth postoperative day (P = 0.049, P = 0.037), as well as than Group B on the fifth postoperative day (P = 0.048). There was no difference as for Hb decline between Groups B and C. No difference was shown in levels of inflammatory biomarkers or blood-saving protocol-related complications among three groups. CONCLUSIONS Daily dose of rhEPO combined with iron supplement administered 3 days before TKA procedures could significantly decrease perioperative blood loss and improve postoperative Hb levels, without significantly elevating risks of complication, when compared with admission of rhEPO on the day of surgery and iron supplement alone. Preoperative daily rhEPO treatment could be a more effective blood-saving protocol in TKA procedures.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and molecular characteristics of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients with monosomal karyotype (MK). METHODS Eighty MDS patients with MK diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2018 were included in the retrospective study. Seventy-three had complex karyotype (CK) and 46 had very CK (vCK, ≥ 5 abnormalities). Clinical information was collected, and a panel of 37 genes, on which mutations have been previously reported to be associated with MDS patients, was analyzed by next-generation sequencing. Genetic and biological features and their association with survival were evaluated. RESULTS Monosomy 5, 7, and 17 were the most frequent and mainly occurred in patients with vCK. While median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 12.8 months with 95% CI 9.1-16.5, patients with vCK had shorter OS (8.4 months with 95% CI 3.9-12.8) than those with non-vCK (16.1 months with 95% CI 11.5-20.8) (P = .02). At least one gene mutation was detected in 76 patients (95%), TP53 mutations were detected in 57 patients, and their median OS was significantly shorter than those without TP53 mutations (9.5 months with 95% CI 7.5-11.5 vs 26.1 months with 95% CI 8.0-44.2, P < .01). In 34 patients who received treatment with decitabine, 25 with TP53 mutations had higher overall response rate than those with wild-type TP53 (60% vs 22.2%, P = .03). However, OS was still significantly shorter in those with TP53 mutations (10.1 vs 26.1 months, P = .03). Multivariate analysis confirmed that TP53 mutations was an independent poor prognostic factor on OS. CONCLUSIONS CK and vCK overlap in most of the MDS patients with MK. TP53 mutations occur more frequently in MDS patients with vCK, and both TP53 mutations and vCK are adverse prognostic factors.

Abstract
The zirconium-based MOF/graphene oxide (UiO-66-NH2/GO) composites were prepared by ultrasonic dispersing different amounts of graphene oxide (GO) in a well-dissolved zirconium tetrachloride/H2BDC-NH2 mixture, obtaining 2 wt% (UiO-66-NH2/GO-1), 5 wt% (UiO-66-NH2/GO-2), and 10 wt% (UiO-66-NH2/GO-3) GO composites. The products were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, BET, Raman, UV, XPS, and Zeta potential. Adsorption experiments on simulated Eriochrome Black T (EBT) printing and dyeing wastewater were carried out using UiO-66-NH2/GO, and the optimal conditions for adsorption were obtained by exploring the effects of initial EBT concentration, time, pH, and salt ionic strength. Adsorption isotherms, kinetics, mechanism, and regeneration were also researched. The adsorption behavior was consistent with the Langmuir isotherm and fully compliant with pseudo secondary dynamics model. The adsorption capacity of UiO-66-NH2/GO-2 was found to be the highest of the three products, which was 263.158 mg/g. Therefore, the UiO-66-NH2/GO-2 composite was considered to be an excellent adsorbent for the adsorption of EBT from organic dye wastewater.

Abstract
The phenomena of antisymmetric magnetoresistance and the planar Hall effect are deeply entwined with ferromagnetism. The intrinsic magnetization of the ordered state permits these unusual and rarely observed manifestations of Onsager’s theorem when time reversal symmetry is broken at zero applied field. Here we study two classes of ferromagnetic materials, rare-earth magnets with high intrinsic coercivity and antiferromagnetic pyrochlores with strongly-pinned ferromagnetic domain walls, which both exhibit antisymmetric magnetoresistive behavior. By mapping out the peculiar angular variation of the antisymmetric galvanomagnetic response with respect to the relative alignments of the magnetization, magnetic field, and electrical current, we experimentally distinguish two distinct underlying microscopic mechanisms: namely, spin-dependent scattering of a Zeeman-shifted Fermi surface and anomalous electron velocities. Our work demonstrates that the anomalous electron velocity physics typically associated with the anomalous Hall effect is prevalent beyond the ρxy(Hz) channel, and should be understood as a part of the general galvanomagnetic behavior. Magnetoresitance (MR) is a tool to study electronic transport and spin order in metals. Here, the authors demonstrate two different microscopic origins of antisymmetric linear MR from both Zeeman-split Fermi surface and anomalous electron velocity.

Abstract
Patients with lower‐risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR‐MDS) as defined by the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) have more favorable prognosis in general, but significant inter‐individual heterogeneity exists. In this study, we examined the molecular profile of 15 MDS‐relevant genes in 159 patients with LR‐MDS using next‐generation sequencing. In univariate COX regression, shorter overall survival (OS) was associated with mutation status of ASXL1 (P = .001), RUNX1 (P = .031), EZH2 (P = .049), TP53 (P = .016), SRSF2 (P = .046), JAK2 (P = .040), and IDH2 (P = .035). We also found significantly shorter OS in patients with an adjusted TET2 variant allele frequency (VAF) ≥18% versus those with either an adjusted TET2 VAF <18% or without TET2 mutations (median: 20.4 vs 47.8 months; P = .020; HR = 2.183, 95%CI: 1.129‐4.224). After adjustment for IPSS, shorter OS was associated with mutation status of ASXL1 (P < .001; HR = 4.306, 95% CI: 2.144‐8.650), TP53 (P = .004; HR = 4.863, 95% CI: 1.662‐14.230) and JAK2 (P = .002; HR = 5.466, 95%CI: 1.848‐16.169), as well as adjusted TET2 VAF ≥18% (P = .008; HR = 2.492, 95% CI: 1.273‐4.876). Also, OS was increasingly shorter as the number of mutational factors increased (P < .001). A novel prognostic scoring system incorporating the presence/absence of the four independent mutational factors into the IPSS further stratified LR‐MDS patients into three prognostically different groups (P < .001). The newly developed scoring system redefined 10.1% (16/159) of patients as a higher‐risk group, who could not be predicted by the currently prognostic models. In conclusion, integration of the IPSS with mutation status/burden of certain MDS‐relevant genes may improve the prognostication of patients with LR‐MDS and could help identify those with worse‐than‐expected prognosis for more aggressive treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of glutamic acid receptor 1 (GluR1) in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) in neonatal rats and its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS 7-day-old neonatal rats received right common carotid artery (CCA) ligation for the establishment of HIBD. After the operation, rats were sacrificed at different time points (0, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h), respectively. Meanwhile, rats in Sham group underwent similar procedures without ligation. Lentivirus-GLUR1-shRNA (LV-GLUR1 shRNA group) was constructed and then transfected into the right lateral ventricles of rats to inhibit GluR1 in vivo. Rats received LV-control injection were selected in the control group (LV-control group). After injection of Lentivirus-GLUR1-shRNA, CCA ligation was performed in rats for HIBD construction. Western blot was performed to detect the protein levels of GLUR1, Akt, p-Akt, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in brain tissues. Cell apoptosis was measured by TUNEL staining assay. RESULTS After hypoxic ischemia (HI), GLUR1 expression increased gradually and reached a peak at 24 h. Meanwhile, p-Akt expression increased immediately and then gradually decreased. 24 h later, p-Akt expression increased again and peaked at 48 h. VEGF expression increased at 4 h after HI and reached a peak at 12 h. The expression levels of GLUR1, p-Akt, and VEGF in the brain tissues derived from rats transfected with LV-GLUR1 shRNA significantly decreased at both 4 h and 24 h after HI. In addition, results indicated that cell apoptosis was enhanced after LV-GLUR1 shRNA administration, suggesting the role of GLUR1 in protecting against HIBD. CONCLUSIONS GLUR1 exhibits a remarkable protective role in HIBD, which may be related to the activation of the Akt signaling pathway and the upregulation of VEGF after HI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the role of HOTAIR in inflammatory response after acute myocardium infarction (AMI) and to investigate its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The AMI model was first constructed in rats, and heart tissues were harvested. Expression levels of HOTAIR and receptor of advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) in rat heart were detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The protein expression level of pEKR in rat heart was detected by Western blot. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in rats were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The hypoxia-induced H9C2 cells were used to construct the MI model in vitro. Meanwhile, the expression levels of HOTAIR and RAGE in H9C2 cells were detected. The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the culture medium were determined by ELISA. Rescue experiments were conducted by co-transfecting pcDNA-HOTAIR and si-RAGE in H9C2 cells. Subsequently, the levels of pERK, TNF-α, and IL-6 were detected. RESULTS The mRNA expression levels of HOTAIR and RAGE in the AMI group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Western blot showed remarkably higher protein levels of RAGE and pERK in AMI rats when compared with those of controls. Similarly, results of ELISA indicated that the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in AMI rats were significantly higher than those of controls. Meanwhile, overexpression of HOTAIR in H9C2 cells remarkably elevated the expression levels of HOTAIR and RAGE. In addition, upregulated pERK, TNF-α, and IL-6 were observed in H9C2 cells overexpressing HOTAIR, which could be reversed by RAGE knockdown. CONCLUSIONS HOTAIR promotes inflammatory response after AMI by upregulating RAGE expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-497 on myocardial cell apoptosis in rats with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS A rat model of myocardial I/R was established, myocardial cells were extracted, and miR-497 was inhibited by inhibitors and overexpressed using miRNA mimics. The cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The interaction between miR-497 and ERK was determined by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The change in the protein level was measured via Western blotting (WB). RESULTS Up-regulation of miR-497 promoted myocardial cell apoptosis, and the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of ERK was highly conserved to combine with miR-497. The luciferase reporter gene assay showed that the transfection of miR-497 could significantly inhibit the relative luciferase activity in cells. CONCLUSIONS MiR-497 overexpression significantly down-regulated the ERK expression at messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels in cells. MiR-497 plays an important role in regulating I/R injury-induced myocardial cell apoptosis by targeting the ERK-induced apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of adrenalin saline local injection on reducing bleeding in endoscopic typeⅠtympanoplasty. Method: A total of 50 patients underwent endoscopic type Ⅰtympanoplasty were prospectively enrolled and were randomly divided into 2 groups. Patients in research group were locally injected 5 ml adrenalin saline with a concentration of 1∶200 000, 15 minutes before operation. And the control group were not injected. Grafts acceptance rates, operation time, blood loss, pre- and pro- operative audiograms were compared between the two groups. Result: Compared with control group, the operative time and blood loss was less in research group. These differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in grafts acceptance rate between two groups (P>0.05). After surgery, mean air conduction threshold was increased and the air-bone gaps was decreased in both groups,and no statistical significant deference was found between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion: Before endoscopic type I tympanoplasty, adrenalin saline local injection can reduce blood loss significantly. This allows better operative view and experience for surgeons and less surgery damage to patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of modified posteromedial approach combined raft technique in the treatment of posterior Pilon fractures with collapsed articular surface. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 51 patients with posterior Pilon fractures combined with collapsed articular surface treated in West China Hospital between January 2014 and June 2017. There were 30 males and 21 females with an average age of 49 years (range, 19-66 years).Subjective assessment of the results was performed according to the pain visual analog scale (VAS).The general function recovery was assessed with American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle hindfoot scale at the latest follow-up. The fracture reduction quality was determined according to Burwell-Charnley imaging standard by the anteroposterior(AP)/mortise X-ray view and three-dimensional CT of the ankle on the 3rd day after operation. The t-test was used to compare the normal distribution parameters. Results: Primary healing of incision and bone were obtained in all patients without loosening, breakage or infection of internal fixation in (3.7±0.7) months (range, 3-6 months). According to the Burwell-Charnley's standards, 50 cases achieved anatomical reduction, 1 case achieved fair reduction. According to AOFAS scales, the results were excellent in 41 cases, good in 9, and fair in 1; the excellent rate was 98.0%. According to the AOFAS scores, the average score was 93.6±2.2. The preoperative VAS score was 7.5±1.1, and the postoperative score was 0.3±0.7, in which the difference was statistically significant (t=31.231, P=0.000). At the last follow-up, the angle of injured side were 13.3°±3.4° in dorsal extension, 33.5°±4.7° in plantar flexion, and 46.9°±6.1° in the range, while angel of uninjured side were 19.8°±2.3°, 36.0°±5.7° and 55.6°±2.7°, respectively; there were significant differences in the up-mentioned indexes between the both sides (t=78.932, 121.231, 113.432, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Excellent short-term effectiveness can be achieved through the modified medial approach in patients with posterior Pilon fractures, which can be used to restore the ankle joint surface under direct vision; and with the raft technique, a small plate is used to fix small fragments firmly with less soft tissue complications.

Methods: The expression of CXCR3 in 60 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and its adjacent tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The clinicopathological correlations between the expression levels of CXCR3 in hepatoma tissues of liver cancer patients were analyzed and univariate Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed in combination with follow-up data. Huh7 hepatoma cells were infected with lentivirus LV-CXCR3-shRNA. The effects of CXCR3 deletion on proliferation of hepatoma cells were determined by CCK-8 assay and tumor-bearing nude mice experiment. Results: CXCR3 was highly expressed in HCC tissues, and the overall survival rate (OS) of patients with high CXCR3 expression was significantly lower than that of patients with low expression. After the CXCR3 gene was successfully silenced in Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, the proliferation ability of Huh7 cells was significantly inhibited in vitro, and the tumor growth rate of nude mice was slowed down, and the activity of JAK-STAT pathway in Huh7 cells was decreased, and the levels of c-MYC and Bcl-xl protein were decreased. In addition, deletion of CXCR3 can effectively inhibit IL-6-mediated JAK-STAT pathway activation. Conclusion: CXCR3 high expression indicated that the survival rate was poor, and the target silencing of CXCR3 gene could inhibit the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and maybe related to inhibition of JAK-STAT pathway activity. CXCR3 may be a potential target for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Decitabine and low-dose chemotherapy are common treatments for intermediate and high risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In this study, we retrospectively assessed the efficacy and toxicity of the two regimens for MDS-refractory anemia with excess blasts (MDS-RAEB) patients. A total of 112 patients with a diagnosis of MDS-RAEB are included. The overall response (OR) and complete remission (CR) rate was comparable between the two groups (OR: 64.1% vs. 66.7%, p = 0.60; CR: 23.4% vs. 31.3%, p = 0.64). The OR rates of 20 mg/m2/day and 15 mg/m2/day decitabine regimen were comparable (69.0% vs. 60.0%, p = 0.46). Overall survival (OS) did not differ significantly between the groups (20.7 vs. 13.5 months, p = 0.17). In a subgroup analysis that included only patients at ≥60 years of age, survival benefit of decitabine was apparent (20.6 vs. 10.0 months, p = 0.03). In hematological toxicities, the lowest count of platelet in the decitabine group was higher significantly. And, the incidence of Grade 3-4 infection in the decitabine group was lower significantly. Our results demonstrate that both decitabine and low-dose chemotherapy are effective for MDS-RAEB, but decitabine was safer. Decitabine might be a better choice for patients at ≥60 years of age.

Abstract
Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are activated fibroblasts during development of several cancer types, and therefore emerge as an attractive therapeutic target for cancer therapy. Drugs such as PT-100 and sibrotuzumab that block the functions of CAFs have already been in clinical trials. However, these drugs exhibit limited efficacy in patients, partially due to the fact that currently used biomarkers for determining efficacy are not CAF-specific. Furthermore, depletion of CAFs may promote carcinogenesis and accelerate cancer progression by inducing immunosuppression and hypoxia, leading to reduced survival. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that restoring the expression of key microRNA induces the functional conversion of CAFs into normal fibroblasts by targeting different signaling pathways and metabolic mechanisms. Therefore, reprograming CAFs into normal fibroblasts by altering specific expression of microRNAs, rather than targeted ablation, may be an effective, novel strategy for cancer treatment. This review focuses on specific microRNAs involved in the transformation of CAFs as well as their multiple roles during tumorigenesis and chemo-resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the association of change in RHR (ΔRHR) and incident T2DM is not fully elucidated. We aimed to assess the dose-response association between 6-year ΔRHR and T2DM. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 12155 non-T2DM participants ≥18 years old were enrolled during 2007-2008 and followed up during 2013-2014. ΔRHR was calculated by subtracting the baseline RHR from the RHR value at 6-year follow-up. Age-, sex-, and RHR-specific relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the effect of ΔRHR on incident T2DM were calculated by using modified Poisson regression models. As compared with ΔRHR of 0 beats/min, the adjusted risk of T2DM was significantly increased with RHR increment and reduced with RHR reduction. ΔRHR was positively associated with future risk of T2DM [RR per unit increase: 1.03 (1.03-1.04)]. As compared with stable change in RHR group (-5<ΔRHR<5 beats/min), for ΔRHR ≤ -10 beats/min, -10<ΔRHR ≤ -5 beats/min, 5≤ΔRHR<10 beats/min, and ΔRHR ≥10 beats/min groups, the pooled adjusted RR (95% CI) of T2DM was 0.69 (0.55-0.86), 0.90 (0.73-1.11), 1.31 (1.07-1.61), and 1.90 (1.59-2.26), respectively. This significant association still existed on subgroup analyses based on age, sex, and baseline RHR and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic RHR change was significantly associated with incident T2DM. Our study suggests that RHR may be a non-invasive clinical indicator for interventions aiming to reduce incident T2DM in the general population.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose:
Chemotherapy remains the only systemic treatment option for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, due to the heterogeneity of TNBC, not all patients benefit from chemotherapy, especially those with early-stage disease. In order to improve prognostic assessment and reduce unnecessary adjuvant systemic therapy in these patients, we have developed a novel seven-gene signature.
Experimental Design:
With the ComBat method, we integrated the results from 150 transcriptome microarrays samples and 246 RNA-seq samples of early-stage TNBC patients, and identified mRNAs associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) using Lasso-Cox model, We further analyzed these TNBC samples and compared them with 60 paired normal breast tissues (40 samples from RNA-seq and 20 samples from microarrays) to identify tumor-specific mRNAs. Twenty-one overlapped mRNAs of the RFS-associated mRNAs and the tumor-specific mRNAs are selected as candidate mRNAs. An additional 371 samples of frozen primary tumors were then collected from early-stage TNBC patients (mean follow-up of 45 months) and randomly divided into two sets: a training set (n = 186) and a validation (n = 185) set. Expression level of candidate mRNAs in these samples were measured using RT-qPCR assays, and a seven-gene signature was built through all subset regression in the training set. The prognostic and predictive accuracy of our signature was tested in the validation set and other public databases (GSE5327, GSE2034 and METABRIC).
Results:
Twenty-one candidate mRNAs were identified in early-stage TNBC patients, from which we developed a novel seven-gene signature (recurrence risk score [mRNA signature] = 1.108*TMEM101 - 0.213*KRT5 - 0.315*ACAN - 0.464*LCA5 + 0.446*RPP40 - 0.373*LAGE3 - 0.257*CDKL2). Patients in the training set were classified into high- or low-risk group based on our seven-gene signature and an optimum cut-off score derived from x-tile. The patients in high-risk group were more likely to suffer from recurrence (HR, 2.718; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.928–3.726, P= 0.001), and a time-dependent receiver operating curve showed that the seven-gene mRNA signature had a better prognostic value than the clinicopathologic risk factors in both training set and validation set. The prognostic and predictive accuracy of the signature was also validated in the METABRIC and two other public GEO databases (GSE5327 and GSE2034). The time-dependent receiver operating curve showed that this signature had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.742 (95% CI, 0.705-0.773) in METABRIC, 0.716 (95% CI, 0.682-0.739) and 0.723 (95% CI, 0.683-0.756) in GSE5327 and GSE2034 respectively.
Conclusion:
In this study, we developed a novel seven-gene signature which can provide additional prognostic information and may guidance in identifying early-stage TNBC patients eligible for adjuvant therapy or reduction of chemotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the prognostic potential of mRNA signature in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. Our novel signature may provide an opportunity for de-escalating treatment in early-stage TNBC patients in the future.

Abstract
We retrospectively studied 133 myelodysplastic syndrome patients receiving decitabine during January 2009 and September 2017. The dose of 15 mg/m2/d (n = 83) and 20 mg/m2/d (n = 50) had comparable overall response rates (ORR) (51.8% vs. 52.00%) and complete remission rate (CRR) (15.66% vs. 22.00%). The 15 mg/m2/d group had a lower incidence of grade 3/4 neutropenia (60.24% vs. 88.00%, p < .05) and thrombocytopenia (65.06% vs. 88.00%, p < .05). The 15 mg/m2/d group had a longer median overall survival (OS) (21.60 months vs. 15.23 months, p = .02). The same results were seen in refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) patients: The 15 mg/m2/d group also had comparable ORR, CRR, decreased hematological toxicities and longer OS. Further analysis suggested that survival benefit of 15 mg/m2/d group was mainly in those patients with lower risk stratification. In conclusion, 15 mg/m2/d decitabine is associated with a lower incidence of hematological toxicities and longer OS and may be more suitable for patients with relatively lower risk.

Abstract
The stability of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is closely related to its extracellular
polymeric substances (EPS). In this study, the composition and physicochemical characteristics of EPS in AGS were determined to evaluate their roles in AGS stability. The study evaluated the influence of influent phosphorus concentration on EPS protein (PN), polysaccharide (PS) and orthophosphate content, zeta potential (ζ) and fluorescence spectrum (EEM) in loosely bound EPS (LB-EPS) and tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS). With higher influent phosphorus concentration, the PN, PS and orthophosphate content were higher, as was the zeta potential in TB-EPS, but it had less influence on LB-EPS. Three-dimensional, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence region integral (FRI) showed that protein-like substances were the primary components of LB-EPS and TB-EPS. Phosphorus had a dynamic quenching effect on EPS at a concentration between 0 mg L–1 and 17.5 mg L–1, which is the indirect production of phosphorus by cations. An increased concentration of influent phosphorus was beneficial to AGS stability

Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed 101 primary MDS patients with complex karyotype during January 2010 and April 2017.The median overall survival (OS) time was 13 (95% CI 9.98-16.02) months, and there was no significant difference in OS for different treatment. Chromosome 5/7 involvement was common (78.22%, 79/101) and associated with shorter OS (12 months vs. 28 months, P < 0.01) Monosomal karyotype (MK) is overlapped with CK in 79 patients, but was not statistically associated with shorter OS. While in 59 cases with genes sequenced, 57 (96.61%) patients were found to have at least one mutation of known significance, and TP53 was the most frequent (74.58%, 44/59), the median OS of patients with TP53 mutation was shorter than those without (10 vs. 27 months, P < 0.01). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that only TP53 mutation was the strongest independent prognostic factor for OS. Moreover, high variant allele frequency (VAF) of TP53 mutation (median VAF was 70.00%) was seen and associated with adverse survival (9 months vs. 13 months, p = 0.04). In conclusion, MDS patients with CK implied an unfavorable outcome regardless of any treatment, TP53 mutation occurs at a high frequency and has a higher VAF, both were associated with worse survival.

A J-shaped relation of BMI and stroke: Systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of 4.43 million participants. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2018; 28:1092-1099.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Many studies have shown increased risk of stroke with greater adiposity as measured by body mass index (BMI), but questions remain about the shape of the dose-response relation. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies to clarify the strength and shape of the dose-response relation between BMI and risk of stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS PubMed and Embase databases were searched for articles published up to May 11, 2018. Random-effects generalized least-squares regression models were used to estimate study-specific dose-response association, and restricted cubic splines were used to model the association. We included reports of 44 prospective cohort studies describing 102 466 incident cases among 4 432 475 participants. With a 5-unit increment in BMI, the summary relative risk for stroke incidence was 1.10 (95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 1.13; I2 = 88.0%). The dose-response relation was J-shaped (Pnon-linearity <0.001). The risk was not increased at the low BMI range (<24 kg/m2), but was increased within the high BMI range (>25 kg/m2). CONCLUSION Both overweight and obesity increase the risk of stroke with a J-shaped dose-response relation, and the nadir of the curve was observed at BMI 23-24 kg/m2.
