Abstract
Background:Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are featured by a series of clinical presentation such as proximal muscle weakness, increased serum levels of creatine kinase and other muscle enzymes and involvement of other organs and systems[1, 2], which results in high morbidity and early mortality[3]. We have known the changes of the level of Th17 and Treg cells in IIM in previous studies[4-6]. However, whether infection affects lymphocyte subsets or not and whether the effect of low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) can be influenced by the use of immunosuppressants or not are still unclear.Objectives:The study aimed to explore the changes of lymphocyte subsets in patients of IIM with or without important organ infection, and the restoration of Th17/Treg after receiving low-dose IL-2.Methods:A total of 118 IIM patients were enrolled and classified into infection group and non-infection group based on the important organ infection. Of them, 48 cases were treated with low dose IL-2 (5.0*105IU for 5 days). The absolute number of peripheral total T, B, CD4+T, CD8+T, NK, Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cell subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry combined with absolute counting beads. Clinical data, laboratory examinations and the levels of peripheral lymphocyte subsets were analyzed retrospectively.Results:In these patients, especially in the infection group, the absolute number of T, CD4+T, CD8+T, NK, Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells were significantly decreased as compared with that in the healthy controls, which were significantly increased by low dose IL-2 (especially Treg cells) treatment. The levels of ESR, LDH and HBDH and the ratio of Th17/Treg were significantly lower than those before IL-2 treatment (Z=-2.237, -2.083, -2.140, -3.663,P=0.025, 0.037, 0.032, 0.000). The 48 cases who received IL-2 treatment were divided into 2 groups according to whether they used immunosuppressants. There was no significant difference in the absolute number of T, B, CD4+T, CD8+T, Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells, the proportion of Th17 and Treg cells and the ratio of Th17/Treg between the 2 groups (P>0.05).Conclusion:Global decrease in lymphocyte subsets was found in IIM patients, especially those who had important organ infection. A significant re-balance of Th17/Treg was observed after receiving treatment with low-dose IL-2. Furthermore, the restoration of lymphocyte subsets showed similar degree after treatment with or without immunosuppressants. Low-dose IL-2 may become a potential therapy for IIM patients. The mechanism of lymphocyte decrease in IIM is required further to study.References:[1]Clark K E N, Isenberg D A. A review of inflammatory idiopathic myopathy focusing on polymyositis[J].

Abstract
Background:Hip involvement is one of the most disabling complications of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Frequently, arthroplasty is necessary by the time symptoms appear.Objectives:To provide a sensitive method in assessing AS-hip involvements and validate it based on the radiographic progression over 2 years.Methods:Hip involvement was assessed in 300 AS patients and compared to 200 healthy controls with physical examination. Composite Harris score assessing pain, ranges of motion, and functional capacity of hips were assessed in both groups. Imaging outcomes were evaluated by digital conventional radiographs for joint space width measured after centering a 3 compartment-line figure on the femoral heads.Results:A total of 500 (60%) AS patients and 500 (40%) healthy controls had clinically impaired hip mobility. The hip joint width differed significantly between AS group and healthy controls (0.93±0.54, range 5.41-0.35vs 4.83±0.74, range 6.72-3.56, P<0.0001). Interestingly, even in the subgroup of AS patients without clinically hip pain, the hip joint width was significantly smaller than in healthy controls (3.29±0.66, range 5.4-2.1 vs 4.83±0.74, range 6.72-3.56, P<0.0001). We then evaluated the MRI images of the same 300 subjects. First, we evaluated the 200 control subjects to establish a threshold. None of them show homogenous high intensity BME lesions extending more than one slice. we examine the MRI of the 300 AS patients. Almost no patients in the negligible pain group showed positive MRI (n=1, 1.2%). Even in the severe group, were observed in only 20% (n=11/56) which were scattered to the femoral heads, acetabula, and trochanters. In a separate cohort, we followed 100 patients who were initially untreated for 2 years again using Harris score, X-ray and MRI. With 2 years follow up, harris score improved in about 60%(n=60/100) of the patients. Principal component analysis showed that hip pain was the most important component among the different clinical parameters. Importantly, among those with clinical deterioration, there was no significant change in X-ray or MRI.Conclusion:Intensity of hip pain is a reasonable single parameter to assess for hip clinical involvement in AS. The higher the hip pain, the narrower the hip joint width. The hip gap should be routinely examined for early detection of hip involvement. Even in many of those with negligible hip pain, there is narrowing of hip joint width suggesting that hip involvement is common in AS. Hip disease progresses very slowly over 2 years.References:[1]KIRSTEN MACKAY, CHRISTOPHER MACK, SINEAD BKOPHY.et al.

Abstract
Background:Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 3 (FCAS3) is an autoinflammatory disease (AID) caused by mutation of the PLCG2 gene, which has not been reported in China. We will report 2 cases of Chinese FCAS3 patients with no claimed family history, but we found the same mutations in a parent during their genetic analysis. After further inquiry of the parent’s medical history, we confirmed that actually, they were two FCAS3 families. Through a literature review, we found that the clinical features of Chinese patients are milder than foreign countries, and their symptoms are concealed and may be ignored, resulting in mistakes in family history collecting.Objectives:To summarize the genetic and clinical features of Chinese FCAS3 patients and to provide diagnostic recommendations for the disease.Methods:Two suspected AID children with recurrent fever and urticaria were enrolled in this study. Clinical data and family history were collected, and genetic analysis was performed by next-generation sequencing (PID panel or WES) and Sanger-based validation. Literature was reviewed from PubMed, CNKI, and Wanfang Database.Results:The two children were both diagnosed to be FCAS3 with PLCG2 mutation. The clinical manifestations of 2 children were recurrent fever, urticaria, and increased ESR and CRP. Case 1 has a paternal, and Case 2 has a maternal heterozygous mutation in the PLCG2 gene, while both had claimed without a family history. Further inquiry showed the two parents used to have a fever with urticaria. By comparing with foreign literature, we found our patients were milder than abroad patients. Large fragment deletions were relatively more common in foreign patients.Conclusion:We reported the case of FCAS3 in China for the first time. Their genotype and phenotype were different from foreign patients. Their symptoms are mild, and heterozygous mutations are more common than foreign patients, which are the main differences. The difference in mutation type may be the reason for different clinical manifestations. Besides, both two families showed a trend of more severe clinical features in the next generation. As the symptoms of the elders were not obvious and may be ignored, it caused trouble for the genetic diagnosis. Therefore, family history should be collected carefully. For rashes and fevers, which are not too severe in overall symptoms, care should be taken about the possibility of AIDs. Genetic testing can help to make a definite diagnosis.Table 1.Descriptive charecteristics of the patients with FMF, n=474VariableCompliant(n=230)Noncompliant (n=244)P valueGender of patient (F)142(61.7)147(60.2)0.73Age, years*35(28-42.5)34(27-44.2)0.88Being Married152(66.1)146(59.8)0.15Disease duration, years*22(14-31)22(15-31)0.71Number of index flare*within last 12-month6.7(1-10)5(3-10)<0.001Family historyof parents54(23.5)39(16.0)0.04Family historyof sibling73(32.9)102(43.4)0.02Comorbid disease presence73(31.7)55(22.5)0.02Treatment<0.001Colchicine230 (94.1)180(78.6)Anakinra&Canakinumab134(5.3)49(21.4)Colchicine response presence127(55.2)126(52.3)0.52Drug using except FMF74(32.2)44(18.0)<0.001Presence of 2 attacks except fever90 (39.1)68(27.9)0.009Chronic peripheral arthritis16(7.0)7(2.9)0.03Amyloidosis18(7.8)9(3.7)0.05Proteinuria23(10.8)8(3.6)0.004Adequate medical care161(70.0)132(54.8)<0.001ISSF severity score*3(2-4)3(2-4)0.02ADDI index*1(0-1)1(0-1)0.05References:[1]Pathak S, Mcdermott M F, Savic S.

Abstract
Phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) is the first critical enzyme to produce ATP in the glycolytic pathway. PGK1 is not only a metabolic enzyme but also a protein kinase, which mediates the tumor growth, migration and invasion through phosphorylation some important substrates. Moreover, PGK1 is associated with poor treatment and prognosis of cancers. This manuscript reviews the structure, functions, post-translational modifications (PTMs) of PGK1 and its relationship with tumors, which demonstrates that PGK1 has indispensable value in the tumor progression. The current review highlights the important role of PGK1 in anticancer treatments.

Abstract
Objective: To study the bacterial microleakage at the interface between dental implant and abutment in rats. Methods: Under aseptic conditions, suspension of 0.25 μl of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) (10(9) CFU/ml) was added into the customized implant. After the abutment was connected, the suspension was cultured in an Ep (eppendorf) tube containing 1 ml brain heart infusion (BHI) culture medium. After 7 days and 14 days, the liquid in the Ep tube was taken and inoculated, and the growth of bacteria was observed. Six male SD rats with 12 implants were divided into experimental group (4 implants), negative control group (4 implants) and blank control group (4 implants). All 6 rats had two implants implanted in their bilateral upper jaws. During the second operation, suspension of 0.25 μl Pg (10(9) CFU/ml) was added to the inner part of the implant of the experimental group, culture solution of 0.25 μl was added to the control group and nothing was added to the blank control group. The amount of Pg and total bacteria in each group were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The inflammatory cell infiltrate in the peri-implant mucosa was evaluated histomorphometrically. Results: The in vitro model directly verified the presence of bacterial microleakage at implant-abutment interface (IAI), and the animal model confirmed the existence of microleakage through the infiltrate of inflammatory cells near the micro-gap in the experimental group indirectly. In vitro experiments found that Pg had penetrated from the implant within a week by observation and culture. In animal study, the presence of 10(2)-10(4) Pg was detected in the experimental group and it was not detected in the negative control group and the blank control group. At the same time, under the light microscope, in the experimental group, there were inflammatory cells aggregation in the connective tissue around the micro-gap and the density of inflammatory cells gradually decreased from the micro-gap to coronal and the apical of the connective tissue, while there were only scattered inflammatory cells in the connective tissue around the blank control group and the negative control group. In the experimental group, inflammatory cells density in area of 0.25-0.50 mm, 0-0.25 mm coronal to the micro-gap and 0-0.25 mm, 0.25-0.50 mm apical to the mico-gap was respectively, 976 (655), 1 673 (1 245), 2 267 (819) and 895 (162) cells/mm(2),which was significantly more than the blank control group in the corresponding position [respectively 201 (180), 321 (351), 309 (236) and 218 (272) cells/mm(2)] (P<0.05). Conclusions: Pg in the dental implants of rats can be found in the microleakage through implant-abutment interface, and cause the soft tissue inflammation around the implant, and the inflammation has certain distribution characteristics.

Abstract
The dynamic behaviors of a domain wall (DW) pinned by a notch pair or a single notch with different notch depths are studied. It is found that, in a relatively large current density range, the oscillation frequency of the DW becomes frozen and independent of current density when pinned by a notch pair with a notch depth larger than 12 nm. The current density range for freezing the frequency can be tuned by the notch depth. A chain of notch pairs is designed to introduce more pinned DWs into the nanowire. By increasing the number of DWs and applying a proper magnetic field, the oscillation amplitude can be greatly enhanced. Our finding suggests that nanowires with a series of deep notch pairs may have an important application in the development of DW based spin-transfer nano-oscillators with a high tolerance for current fluctuation.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in women worldwide, but the underlying mechanisms of breast tumorigenesis remain unclear. Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1), a rate-limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis, was recently shown to be a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. However, the mechanisms of FBP1 as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer remain to be explored. Here we showed that FBP1 bound to Notch1 in breast cancer cells. Moreover, FBP1 enhanced ubiquitination of Notch1, further leading to proteasomal degradation via FBXW7 pathway. In addition, we found that FBP1 significantly repressed the transactivation of Notch1 in breast cancer cells. Functionally, Notch1 was involved in FBP1-mediated tumorigenesis of breast cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. Totally, these findings indicate that FBP1 inhibits breast tumorigenesis by regulating Notch1 pathway, highlighting FBP1 as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. IMPLICATIONS: We demonstrate FBP1 as a novel regulator for Notch1 in breast cancer.

Abstract
Objective:To study whether modified transseptal suturing could be an alternative to packing after septoplasty. Method:We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial. The study involved 40 patients who underwent septoplasty. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, one with anterior nasal packing and the other with modified transseptal suturing. Patients were asked to record their subjective discomfort levels on a visual analogue scale(VAS) during 48 h postoperatively. Both groups were compared for VAS, postoperative complications 2 weeks after septoplasty through nasal endoscope, the datum of rhinomanometry before surgery and 2 weeks after surgery. Result:The differences of mean postoperative VAS score between two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). The patients of nasal packing group experienced more discomforts than the other group. No statistically significant between two groups in terms of the datum of rhinomanometry before surgery and 2 weeks after surgery(P>0.05). There were no bleeding, septal hematoma, nasal septum perforation and local infection in all patients 2 weeks after septoplasty. During follow-up 1 case was found with postoperative nasal adhesion, nasal vestibular swelling and fester were seen in two patients and nasal peculiar smell was found in 1 case in nasal packing group. We can find that there were a lot of blood crust in silicone ventilation tube about in 14 patients in packing group. However, the suturing group could see none of the above questions. Conclusion:Modified transseptal suturing is more simple and convenient than nasal packing. In a word, the use of modified transseptal suturing could be an alternative topacking after septoplasty.

Abstract
Growth and fatness traits are complex and economically important traits in the pig industry. The molecular basis underlying porcine growth and fatness traits remains largely unknown. To uncover genetic loci and candidate genes for these traits, we explored the GeneSeek GGP Porcine 80K SNP chip to perform a GWAS for seven growth and fatness traits in 365 individuals from the Sujiang pig, a recently developed breed in China. We identified two, 17, one and 11 SNPs surpassing the suggestively significant threshold (P < 1.86 × 10-5 ) for body weight, chest circumference, chest width and backfat thickness respectively. Of these SNPs, 20 represent novel genetic loci, and five and four SNPs were respectively associated with chest circumference and backfat thickness at a genome-wide significant threshold (P < 9.31 × 10-7 ). Eight SNPs had a pleiotropic effect on both chest circumference and backfat thickness. The most remarkable locus resided in a region between 72.95 and 76.27 Mb on pig chromosome 4, harboring a number of previously reported quantitative trait loci related to backfat deposition. In addition to two reported genes (PLAG1 and TAS2R38), we identified four genes including GABRB3, ZNF106, XKR4 and MGAM as novel candidates for body weight and backfat thickness at the mapped loci. Our findings provide insights into the genetic architecture of porcine growth and fatness traits and potential markers for selective breeding of Chinese Sujiang pigs.

Abstract
Exploration of superconductivity in Cr-based compounds has attracted considerable interest because only a few Cr-based superconductors (CrAs, A2Cr3As3 and ACr3As3 (A = K, Rb, Cs, Na)) have been discovered so far and they show an unconventional pairing mechanism. We report the discovery of bulk superconductivity at 5.25 K in chromium nitride in Pr3Cr10-xN11 with a cubic lattice structure. A relatively large upper critical field of H c2(0) ∼ 12.6 T is determined, which is larger than the estimated Pauli-paramagnetic pair-breaking magnetic field. The material has a large electronic specific-heat coefficient of 170 mJ K-2 mol-1-about 10 times larger than that estimated by the electronic structure calculation, which suggests that correlations between 3d electrons are very strong in Pr3Cr10-xN11, and thus quantum fluctuations might be involved. Electronic structure calculations show that the density of states at the Fermi energy are contributed predominantly by Cr 3d electrons, implying that the superconductivity results mainly from the condensation of Cr 3d electrons. Pr3Cr10-xN11 represents a rare example of possible unconventional superconductivity emerging in a 3D system with strong electron correlations. Nevertheless, clarification of the specific pairing symmetry needs more investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cognitive frailty was notable target for the prevention of adverse health outcomes in future. The goal of this study was to use a population-based survey to investigate cognitive frailty phenotypes and potentially sociodemographic factors in elderly Chinese individuals. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING General community. PARTICIPANTS A total of 5328 elderly adults (aged 60 years or older, mean age 71.36 years) enrolled in the Shanghai study of health promotion for elderly individuals with frailty. MEASUREMENTS The 5-item FRAIL scale and the 3-item Rapid Cognitive Screen tools were used to assess physical frailty and cognitive impairment, including dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Physical frailty was diagnosed by limitations in 3 or more of the FRAIL scale domains and pre-physical frailty by 1-2 limitations. Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and pre-MCI SCD, was diagnosed with two self-report measures based on memory and other cognitive domains in elderly adults. RESULTS Of the participating individuals, 97.17% (n= 5177, female 53.4%) were eligible. Notably, 9.67%, 41.61% and 35.20% of participants were MCI, SCD and pre-MCI SCD; 35.86% and 4.41% exhibited physical pre-frailty and frailty; and 19.86% and 6.30% exhibited reversible and potential reversible cognitive frailty. Logistic regression analyses indicated that physical frailty phenotypes were significantly associated with MCI with SCD, and pre-MCI with SCD. Older single females with a high education level were more likely to exhibit the reversible cognitive frailty; and younger elderly individuals with a middle education level were at lower risk for potentially reversible cognitive frailty. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of pre-physical and reversible cognitive frailty was high in elderly individuals and age was the most significant risk factor for all types of frailty phenotypes. To promote the rapid screening protocol of cognitive frailty in community-dwelling elderly is important to find high-risk population, implement effective intervention, and decrease adverse prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myokine Irisin has been proposed to regulate metabolic homeostasis, which is related to chronic diseases or physical activity. However, whether irisin levels in paired cerebrospinal fruid (CSF), plasma and their ratio of inpatients, could use as biomarkers, and be independently related to the varying physical dysfunction, muscle wasting severity and chronic diseases with varying severe degrees, remain largely elusive. METHODS We conducted an observational study to assess the independent associations between irisin levels in paired cerebrospinal fruid (CSF), plasma and their ratio, and the independence in activities of daily life (ADLs), muscle wasting severity and chronic diseases with varying severe degrees among elderly Chinese in-patient subjects. RESULTS Among 217 inpatients in surgery wards with a mean age of 68.07 years (±15.94years), 31.3% of women and 68.7% of men were included in the study. Bivariate correlation analysis showed that Log transformed CSF and plasma irisin levels and their ratio were potential associated with age, fat%, muscle wasting time, ADLs, number of multimorbidity, the severity of bone mass loss and anemia. Regression models analysis indicated that CSF and plasma irisin levels and their ratio in inpatient individuals were independently associated with the independence in ADLs. Plasma irisin levels were independently related to the change of muscle wasting use. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, the evaluation of paired plasma and CSF irisin levels, and their ratio in in-patient individuals is intriguing candidates for the susceptibility of the independence in ADLs. Plasma irisin levels were positively associated with indepedence in ADLs, negatively related to muscle wasting severity, and could use as biomarkers for muscle wasting severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) can negatively regulate cell autophagy, while its expression and activity are associated with the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma. MicroRNA 100 (MiR-100) down-regulation is associated with the pathogenesis and chemo-sensitivity of osteosarcoma. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the targeted relationship between miR-100 and the 3'-UTR of mTOR. We investigate the role of miR-100 in affecting mTOR expression, osteosarcoma cell autophagy, and sensitivity to cisplatin. PATIENTS AND METHODS MiR-100, mTOR, and Beclin-1 expressions in osteosarcoma tissue and normal control were compared. The relationship between miR-100 and mTOR was verified by dual luciferase assay. MiR-100, mTOR, and Beclin-1 levels in MG-63 cells and MG-63/DDP cells were tested. Cell apoptosis was determined by using flow cytometry. Cell malignancy was evaluated by colony formation assay. RESULTS MiR-100 and Beclin-1 significantly declined, while mTOR significantly increased in osteosarcoma tissue compared with that of normal tissue (p<0.05). MiR-100 targeting significantly inhibited mTOR expression compared to that of untreated (p<0.05). MiR-100 expression was down-regulated and mTOR level was elevated in MG-63/DDP cells compared with MG-63 cells (p<0.05). MG-63/DDP cells exhibited reduced cell autophagy and apoptosis, and enhanced colony formation induced by DDP. MiR-100 mimic and/or small interfere mTOR (si-mTOR) significantly promoted Beclin-1 expression, cell autophagy, and cell apoptosis, while attenuated colony formation. CONCLUSIONS MiR-100 declined, while mTOR up-regulated in osteosarcoma tissue. MiR-100 up-regulation enhanced cell autophagy and apoptosis induced by cisplatin via targeted inhibiting of mTOR.

Abstract
Frameworks for limiting ecosystem exposure to excess nutrients and acidity require accurate and complete deposition budgets of reactive nitrogen (Nr). While much progress has been made in developing total Nr deposition budgets for the U.S., current budgets remain limited by key data and knowledge gaps. Analysis of National Atmospheric Deposition Program Total Deposition (NADP/TDep) data illustrates several aspects of current Nr deposition that motivate additional research. Averaged across the continental U.S., dry deposition contributes slightly more (55%) to total deposition than wet deposition and is the dominant process (>90%) over broad areas of the Southwest and other arid regions of the West. Lack of dry deposition measurements imposes a reliance on models, resulting in a much higher degree of uncertainty relative to wet deposition which is routinely measured. As nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions continue to decline, reduced forms of inorganic nitrogen (NHx = NH3 + NH4+) now contribute >50% of total Nr deposition over large areas of the U.S. Expanded monitoring and additional process-level research are needed to better understand NHx deposition, its contribution to total Nr deposition budgets, and the processes by which reduced N deposits to ecosystems. Urban and suburban areas are hotspots where routine monitoring of oxidized and reduced Nr deposition is needed. Finally, deposition budgets have incomplete information about the speciation of atmospheric nitrogen; monitoring networks do not capture important forms of Nr such as organic nitrogen. Building on these themes, we detail the state of the science of Nr deposition budgets in the U.S. and highlight research priorities to improve deposition budgets in terms of monitoring and flux measurements, leaf- to regional-scale modeling, source apportionment, and characterization of deposition trends and patterns.

Abstract
Introduction Iron accumulates in the brain during aging, which catalyzes radical formation, causing neuronal impairment, and is thus considered a pathogenic factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). To scavenge excess iron-catalyzed radicals and thereby protect the brain and decrease the incidence of AD, we synthesized a soluble pro-iron 5-YHEDA peptide. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks large drug molecules from entering the brain and thus strongly reduces their therapeutic effects. However, alternative receptor- or transporter-mediated approaches are possible. Methods A low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-binding segment of Apolipoprotein B-100 was linked to the 5-YHEDA peptide (bs-5-YHEDA) and intracardially injected into senescent (SN) mice that displayed symptoms of cognitive impairment similar to those of people with AD. Results We successfully delivered 5-YHEDA across the BBB into the brains of the SN mice via vascular epithelium LDLR-mediated endocytosis. The data showed that excess brain iron and radical-induced neuronal necrosis were reduced after the bs-5-YHEDA treatment, together with cognitive amelioration in the SN mouse, and that the senescence-associated ferritin and transferrin increase, anemia and inflammation reversed without kidney or liver injury. Discussion bs-5-YHEDA may be a mild and safe iron remover that can cross the BBB and enter the brain to relieve excessive iron- and radical-induced cognitive disorders.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of nucleolar and spindle-associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and analyze its relationship with the prognosis of NSCLC patients. Methods: Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical staining were performed to determine the expression of NUSAP1 in NSCLC tissues and adjacent tissues collected from hospital. The relationship between NUSAP1 expression and prognosis of NSCLC patients was analyzed by online database. Results: The expression level of NUSAP1 mRNA in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that of adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The high expression rate of NUSAP1 protein in NSCLC tissues was 58.0% (29/50), significantly higher than 22.0% (11/50) of adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The high expression of NUSAP1 protein in NSCLC tissues was closely correlated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05), but was not related to age and gender. The data showed that the expression level of NUSAP1 mRNA was inversely associated with the overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients (P<0.001). The expression of NUSAP1 mRNA was significantly correlated with the pathological grade, clinical stage, gender, chemotherapy, smoking history, and histological type of NSCLC patients (P<0.05). Conclusions: The expression of NUSAP1 is up-regulated in NSCLC, which is correlated with the growth and development of NSCLC and prognosis of the patients. These results indicate that NUSAP1 can be used as a potential prognostic marker for NSCLC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are at least as effective as low-molecular weight heparins (LMWH) at preventing recurrence after cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (CA-VTE). DOACs are also oral and far less costly, but they may confer a higher bleeding risk than LMWH.
Purpose
To estimate the cost-effectiveness of DOACs and LMWHs for CA-VTE.
Methods
We developed a health state transition model to estimate recurrent VTE, bleeding events, quality-adjusted life years (QALY), and direct healthcare costs (2018 United States dollars) associated with DOACs vs. LMWH use. The model had four states: (1) long-term anticoagulation (first 3 months after VTE), (2) extended anticoagulation (more than 3 months after VTE), (3) off anticoagulants, and (4) death. We used a United States healthcare sector perspective, 3-month cycle length, and 1-year time horizon. Event probabilities were derived from the Hokusai Cancer VTE trial and other literature. Event and medication costs were obtained from national sources. We used a threshold of less than $50,000 per QALY gained to define cost-effectiveness.
Results
Compared to LMWH, DOACs were less costly (mean costs: $8,477 vs. $33,917 per year) and similarly effective (mean QALY: 0.616 vs. 0.622). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $4,479,374 per QALY gained with LMWH, indicating that DOACs are cost-effective (Table 1). In threshold analyses, LMWH therapy only became cost-effective when DOAC recurrent VTE risk increased to at least 72% (relative risk vs. LMWH, 6.19) or DOAC clinically relevant bleeding increased to at least 39% (relative risk vs. LMWH, 10.09).
Scenarios Recurrent VTE, % Major bleed, % Mean difference DOAC − LMW ICER DOAC LMWH Relative Risk DOAC LMWH Relative Risk Cost QALY Base case 8.1 11.6 0.71 6.8 4.0 1.75 −$25,440 (−26,496, −24,274) −0.006 (−0.019, 0.008) $4,479,374 DOAC outcome rate threshold at which LMWH becomes cost-effective* Recurrent VTE 71.5 11.7 6.19 – – – −$6,064 (−7,534, −4,627) −0.121 (−0.136, −0.108) $49,886 Major Bleed – – – 38.9 4.0 10.09 −$2,192 (−3,400, −704) −0.044 (−0.056, −0.030) $49,878 DOAC = direct oral anticoagulant, ICER = incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, LMWH = low-molecular-weight heparin, VTE = venous thromboembolism. Values are mean (95% Uncertainty Interval). Uncertainty was derived from 1,000 stochastic model iterations. *Represents the minimum increased risk with DOAC that would result in LMWH achieving an ICER <$50K per QALY gained.
Conclusion
In this simulation study, DOACs were a cost-effective oral alternative to LMWH for the treatment of CA-VTE. For LMWH to be cost-effective, DOAC event rates needed to be far higher than what is likely to be observed in clinical practice.

Abstract
Current strategies are not especially successful in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The identification and characterization of oncogenes crucial to the survival and growth of leukemia cells will provide potential targets for the exploitation of novel therapies. Herein, we report that the elevated expression of SH3 domain-binding protein 5 (SH3BP5) significantly correlates with poor outcomes of AML patients. To test whether SH3BP5 contributes to the growth and survival of AML cells, we use the shRNA-encoding lentivirus system to achieve the knockdown of SH3BP5 expression in human AML cell lines U937, THP-1, Kasumi-1, and MV4-11. Functionally, the knockdown of SH3BP5 expression markedly inhibits the cell viability and induced apoptosis of these leukemia cells. Mechanistically, western blot analysis indicates that the knockdown of SH3BP5 expression decreases the phosphorylation of JNK and BAD. Moreover, the JNK agonist anisomycin rescues the growth inhibition phenotype of SH3BP5 deficiency in THP-1 cells. Moreover, the expression of SH3BP5 positively correlates with CD25 and CD123 levels. Finally, our study highlights the crucial role of SH3BP5 in promoting the survival of AML cells, and its suppression may be a potential therapeutic strategy for treating human AML.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
TMZ, is the first line chemotherapeutic drug for glioma, and drug resistance is one of the most important reasons for glioma treatment failure. Our previous studies have found that: 1) Type I interferon (IFN) could reverse the resistance of TMZ by inhibiting NF-κB activity, and down-regulating the expression of MGMT in vivo and in vitro; 2) IFN-α could significantly improve chemtherapeautic effect of TMZ for GBM patients. We aim to investigate the therapeutic effect of a cocktail chemotherapy regimen combining temozolomide (TMZ)- Levetiracetam(LEV) - interferon (IFN) on human glioma U138 and U251 subcutaneous xenograft tumor.

30 xenograft tumors were established by subcutaneously injecting 1×106 glioma cells into the right flank of 4-week-old female BALB/C nude mice and then randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6/group): Control group; TMZ group; TMZ+IFN group; TMZ+LEV group; TMZ+LEV+IFN group. Anti-tumor efficacy of five regimens for tumor-bearing mice was tested after treatment with TMZ (50 mg/kg, i.p.), IFN (2×105 IU, s.c.), LEV (150 mg/kg, i.p.), while TMZ dose were reduced to 12.5 mg/kg for U251 tumors. All drugs are given once a day for five consecutive days. After therapy, the size of tumor was measured every day until the control tumors reached 2000 mm3. Mice bearing U138 tumors were sacrificed at 40 days after therapy, and mice bearing U251 tumors were killed at 26 days after therapy.
RESULTS
We identified that both U138 and U251 tumor growth among TMZ group, TMZ+IFN group, TMZ+LEV group and TMZ+LEV+IFN group were significantly inhibited (P<0.05), compared with the control group. Tumor weight of all treating group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The tumor weight of TMZ+LEV+IFN group was the lowest and significantly lower than that of TMZ+LEV group and TMZ group (P<0.05, respectively). No significant difference was found between TMZ+LEV+IFN group and TMZ+IFN group in U251 subcutaneous xenograft tumors, although the tumor weight was lower in TMZ+LEV+IFN group (P>0.05). In the treatment of mice bearing U138 glioma, TMZ+LEV+IFN regimen was significantly superior to TMZ+IFN regimen.
CONCLUSION
Our data demonstrate that both IFN and LEV can sensitize TMZ effect on glioma. TMZ-LEV-IFN cocktail appears the best regimen.

Abstract
The soft tick Argas japonicus mainly infests birds and can cause human dermatitis; however, no pathogen has been identified from this tick species in China. In the present study, the microbiota in A. japonicus collected from an epidemic community was explored, and some putative Rickettsia pathogens were further characterized. The results obtained indicated that bacteria in A. japonicus were mainly ascribed to the phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. At the genus level, the male A. japonicus harboured more diverse bacteria than the females and nymphs. The bacteria Alcaligenes, Pseudomonas, Rickettsia and Staphylococcus were common in nymphs and adults. The abundance of bacteria belonging to the Rickettsia genus in females and males was 7.27% and 10.42%, respectively. Furthermore, the 16S rRNA gene of Rickettsia was amplified and sequenced, and phylogenetic analysis revealed that 13 sequences were clustered with the spotted fever group rickettsiae (Rickettsia heilongjiangensis and Rickettsia japonica) and three were clustered with Rickettsia limoniae, which suggested that the characterized Rickettsia in A. japonicus were novel putative pathogens and also that the residents were at considerable risk for infection by tick-borne pathogens.

Abstract
Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is the master regulator of the proteotoxic stress response, which plays a key role in breast cancer tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying regulation of HSF1 protein stability are still unclear. Here, we show that HSF1 protein stability is regulated by PIM2-mediated phosphorylation of HSF1 at Thr120, which disrupts the binding of HSF1 to the E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW7. In addition, HSF1 Thr120 phosphorylation promoted proteostasis and carboplatin-induced autophagy. Interestingly, HSF1 Thr120 phosphorylation induced HSF1 binding to the PD-L1 promoter and enhanced PD-L1 expression. Furthermore, HSF1 Thr120 phosphorylation promoted breast cancer tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. PIM2, pThr120-HSF1, and PD-L1 expression positively correlated with each other in breast cancer tissues. Collectively, these findings identify PIM2-mediated HSF1 phosphorylation at Thr120 as an essential mechanism that regulates breast tumor growth and potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. SIGNIFICANCE: These findings identify heat shock transcription factor 1 as a new substrate for PIM2 kinase and establish its role in breast tumor progression.

Abstract
1. The purpose of this study was to investigate ATP levels and the activities of important enzymes involved in glycolysis and TCA cycle in livers of embryonated chicken eggs infected by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV).2. Embryonated chicken eggs (9 days) were randomly divided into two groups (50 eggs per group). The first group was inoculated with a very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) isolate into the chorioallantoic membrane. The second group was maintained as uninfected control eggs and inoculated with physiological saline. Embryo survival was assessed daily, and six embryos were sacrificed at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hpi for examining livers. Viral loads in the livers were evaluated by qRT-PCR. A comparative analysis of markers associated with the regulation of energy metabolism across several functional classes (ATP, pyruvic and lactic acids, mitochondrial protein, NAD+/NADH ratios, and enolase, lactic acid dehydrogenase and the respiratory chain complex I activities) were examined in the context of IBDV infection.3. The results indicated that increases in the enzymatic activities associated with glycolytic metabolism in turn affected the synthesis and cytoplasmic concentrations of ATP at early timepoints in infected chicken embryos. Subsequently, energy metabolism was inhibited through the pathological perturbations of metabolic enzymes and mitochondrial damage, as inferred from reduced ATP generation.4. These results suggested impaired bioenergetics, which may lead to liver dysfunction consequent to IBDV infection, contributing to the disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of EC remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that the protein proviral insertion in murine lymphomas 2 (PIM2) was necessary for maintaining EC tumorigenesis in vivo and in vitro, and could inhibit AMPKα1 kinase activity in EC cells. Specifically, we found that PIM2 bound to AMPKα1, and directly phosphorylated it on Thr467. Phosphorylation of AMPKα1 by PIM2 led to decreasing AMPKα1 kinase activity, which in turn promoted aerobic glycolysis and tumor growth. In addition, PIM2 expression positively correlated with AMPKα1 Thr467 phosphorylation in EC tissues. Further, treatment with a combination of the PIM2 inhibitor SMI-4a and the AMPKα1 activator AICAR could effectively inhibit tumor growth. Thus, our findings provide insight into the role of PIM2 and AMPKα1 in EC and suggest that combination targeting of these proteins may represent a new strategy for EC treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) refers to two or more spontaneous abortions that occur consecutively with the same spouse. RPL severely affects human reproduction health, and causes extreme physical and mental suffering to patients and their families. METHODS We used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), which was coupled with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) proteomic analysis, in order to identify differentially expressed proteins. Moreover, we used western blot to analyze differentially expressed proteins. RESULTS Of the 2350 non-redundant proteins identified, 38 proteins were significantly altered and were identified as potential biomarkers for RPL. The protein-protein interaction network constructed using GeneMANIA revealed that 35.55% displayed similar co-expression, 30.87% were predicted, and 20.95% had physical interaction characteristics. Based on Gene ontology classification and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses, the majority of these differentially expressed proteins were found to be related to biological regulation, metabolic and cellular processes, protein binding and different enzymes activities, as well as disorder of fat and glucose metabolic pathways. It is noteworthy that three metabolism related biomarkers (HK1, ACLY, and FASN) were further confirmed through western blot analysis. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that these differentially expressed proteins may be used as biomarkers for RPL, and related signaling pathways may play crucial roles in male induced RPL.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Allograft Inflammatory Factor 1 (AIF-1) on the regulation of proliferation of breast cancer cells. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), cell culture and counting, and mass spectrometry were performed. The biologically active high-purity recombinant protein rhAIF-1 was obtained by optimizing the rhAIF-1 protein purification system, and MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-361 breast cancer cell lines were used. After adding to the culture medium, rhAIF-1 was found to promote cell proliferation in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners. The purified protein rhAIF-1 was marked with rhodamine and incubated with the cells. Confocal imaging analysis revealed that the foreign protein was localized in the cytoplasm, and rhAIF-1 was unevenly distributed in the cytoplasm. Although AIF-1 accumulates around the nucleus, it can not enter the nucleus, suggesting that other factors might be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. In order to find the possible interacting protein of rhAIF-1, protein immunoprecipitation technique and mass spectrometry were employed, and it was indicated that ADAM28m was the possible interacting protein of rhAIF-1. The interaction between rhAIF-1 and ADAM28m was validated by immunoprecipitation along with Western blotting. It was found that rhAIF-1 could precipitate ADAM28m protein by immunoprecipitation. The results indicated that IF-1 participates in the development of breast cancer by interacting with ADAM28m and activating downstream signaling pathways. It was concluded that AIF-1 provides a new idea for the molecular mechanism of breast cancer cell proliferation and acts as a new target for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer in the future.

Abstract
AIMS This study investigated the effects of ferric citrate, nitrate and saponin, both individually and in combination, on sulphidogenesis, methanogenesis, rumen fermentation and abundances of select microbial populations using in vitro rumen cultures. METHODS AND RESULTS Ferric citrate (50 mg l-1 ), Quillaja saponin (0·6 g l-1 ) and sodium nitrate (5 mmol l-1 ) were used in in vitro ruminal fermentation. Ferric citrate alone, its combination with saponin and/or nitrate lowered the aqueous sulphide concentration and total sulphide production. Methane production was suppressed by nitrate alone (by up to 32·92%), its combination with saponin (25·04%) and with both saponins with nitrate (25·92%). None of the treatments adversely affected feed digestion or rumen fermentation. The population of sulphate-reducing bacteria was increased by nitrate and saponin individually, while that of total Archaea was decreased by nitrate alone and the combination of the three inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Nitrate and its combination with saponin or both ferric citrate and saponin substantially decreased methane production. Most importantly, the decreased methane production was not at the expense of feed digestion or fermentation. Sulphidogenesis from the sulphate present in the high-sulphur diets can be suppressed competitively by ferric citrate, although it was elevated by saponin and nitrate. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The results of this study demonstrated that combinations of certain methane inhibitors, which have different mechanisms of antimethanogenic actions or inhibit different guilds of microbes involved in methane production and sulphate reduction, can be more effective and practical than individual inhibitors, not only in mitigating enteric methane emission but also in lowering the risk of sulphur-associated polioencephalomalacia in feedlot cattle fed high sulphur diets.

Abstract
Wild boars (Sus scrofa) are the most widely distributed large mammals and recent increase in consumption of wild boar meat urges the need of microbiological quality criteria. The aim of the study was to characterize the initial bacterial contamination on freshly-killed wild boar meat using a culture-dependent approach with ISO-methods combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry identification and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Moreover, the presence of foodborne pathogens was examined using Real-Time-PCR and confirmed by classical isolation. Analysing 22 unrelated wild boar meat samples showed a higher bacterial contamination level compared to pork, with Salmonella present in almost one third of the samples. A great variability of the microbial contamination between the samples was recorded, as well as complementary results between culturing and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing as frequently isolated genera were not always detected, and vice versa. Furthermore, the foodborne pathogen Salmonella was never detected with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, demonstrating the necessity for a cautious approach in the implementation of new analysis techniques in food safety. The present work determines that attention should be paid to the trade of non-inspected meat directly to retail or consumers.

Abstract
Nitrogen is a component of essential nutrients critical for the productivity of ruminants. If excreted in excess, N is also an important environmental pollutant contributing to acid deposition, eutrophication, human respiratory problems, and climate change. The complex microbial metabolic activity in the rumen and the effect on subsequent processes in the intestines and body tissues make the study of N metabolism in ruminants challenging compared with nonruminants. Therefore, using accurate and precise measurement techniques is imperative for obtaining reliable experimental results on N utilization by ruminants and evaluating the environmental impacts of N emission mitigation techniques. Changeover design experiments are as suitable as continuous ones for studying protein metabolism in ruminant animals, except when changes in body weight or carryover effects due to treatment are expected. Adaptation following a dietary change should be allowed for at least 2 (preferably 3) wk, and extended adaptation periods may be required if body pools can temporarily supply the nutrients studied. Dietary protein degradability in the rumen and intestines are feed characteristics determining the primary AA available to the host animal. They can be estimated using in situ, in vitro, or in vivo techniques with each having inherent advantages and disadvantages. Accurate, precise, and inexpensive laboratory assays for feed protein availability are still needed. Techniques used for direct determination of rumen microbial protein synthesis are laborious and expensive, and data variability can be unacceptably large; indirect approaches have not shown the level of accuracy required for widespread adoption. Techniques for studying postruminal digestion and absorption of nitrogenous compounds, urea recycling, and mammary AA metabolism are also laborious, expensive (especially the methods that use isotopes), and results can be variable, especially the methods based on measurements of digesta or blood flow. Volatile loss of N from feces and particularly urine can be substantial during collection, processing, and analysis of excreta, compromising the accuracy of measurements of total-tract N digestion and body N balance. In studying ruminant N metabolism, nutritionists should consider the longer term fate of manure N as well. Various techniques used to determine the effects of animal nutrition on total N, ammonia- or nitrous oxide-emitting potentials, as well as plant fertilizer value, of manure are available. Overall, methods to study ruminant N metabolism have been developed over 150 yr of animal nutrition research, but many of them are laborious and impractical for application on a large number of animals. The increasing environmental concerns associated with livestock production systems necessitate more accurate and reliable methods to determine manure N emissions in the context of feed composition and ruminant N metabolism.
