Abstract
The first (v_{1}^{fluc}), second (v_{2}), and third (v_{3}) harmonic coefficients of the azimuthal particle distribution at midrapidity are extracted for charged hadrons and studied as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) and mean charged particle multiplicity density ⟨N_{ch}⟩ in U+U (sqrt[s_{NN}]=193 GeV), Au+Au, Cu+Au, Cu+Cu, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV with the STAR detector. For the same ⟨N_{ch}⟩, the v_{1}^{fluc} and v_{3} coefficients are observed to be independent of the collision system, while v_{2} exhibits such a scaling only when normalized by the initial-state eccentricity (ϵ_{2}). The data also show that ln(v_{2}/ϵ_{2}) scales linearly with ⟨N_{ch}⟩^{-1/3}. These measurements provide insight into initial-geometry fluctuations and the role of viscous hydrodynamic attenuation on v_{n} from small to large collision systems.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the feasibility of endoscopic surgery for treatment of rT1-rT2 recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Method: The clinical data and of 57 patients who had recurrence of the primary lesion after treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma from February 2011 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were re-staged according to Union for International Cancer Control(UICC, 2010) staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma before surgery. Patients suitable for surgery underwent endoscopic surgery to remove nasopharyngeal lesions; those combined with cervical lymph node metastases underwent cervical lymph node dissection at the same time; patients with positive surgical margins of pharyngeal lesions and cervical lymph node extramembranous filtration were treated with radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy; patients unsuitable for surgery were treated with radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy directly. All patients were followed up regularly to observe clinical efficacy and survival. Result:Fifty-seven patients were re-staged according to UICC(2010) staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: 19 cases in stage Ⅰ,30 cases in stage Ⅱ, 6 cases in stage Ⅲ and 2 cases in stage Ⅳ,including 27 cases in stage rT1, 30 cases in stage rT2, and 43 cases in stage rN0,6 cases in stage rN1,6 cases in stage rN2,2 cases in stage rN3. Forty-four cases of primary lesions were sected for endoscopic surgery. Patients combined with cervical lymph node metastases underwent cervical lymph node dissection at the same time, with 6 cases of positive surgical margins of pharyngeal lesions and 4 cases of cervical lymph node extramembranous infiltration, who were treated with radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy after surgery. Thirteen patients received radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy directly. At a median follow-up of 36 months, the 3-year overall survival rate of 57 patients was 61.4%. The 3-year overall survival rates of patients in stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 73.7%, 63.3%, 33.3%, 0.0% respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed a significant difference in the overall survival rate of patients in different stages(P=0.002). The 3-year overall survival rates of rT1 and rT2 patients were 63.0%, 60.0% respectively, and KaplanMeier survival curve analysis showed no significant difference in the overall survival rate between rT1 and rT2 patients(P=0.707). The 3-year overall survival rates of patients in stages rN0, rN1, rN2, rN3 were 69.8%, 50.0%, 33.3%, 0.0% respectively, and Kaplan-Meier Survival curve analysis showed a significant difference in overall survival between patients in different rN stages(P=0.002). The 3-year overall survival rate was 68.2% in 44 surgical patients, and 38.5% in 13 non-surgical patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed significant difference in overall survival rate between surgical and non-surgical patients(P=0.014).Conclusion: Endoscopic surgery for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a safe and effective treatment to improve survival.

Abstract
A cross-sectional study was undertaken to better understand the husbandry, management and biosecurity practices of pig farms in Guangdong Province (GD), China to identify risk factors for farmer reported swine influenza (SI) on their farms. Questionnaires were administered to 153 owners/managers of piggeries (average of 7 from each of the 21 prefectures in GD). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for farmer reported SI in piggeries during the six months preceding the questionnaire administration. The ability of wild birds to enter piggeries (OR 2.50, 95% CI: 1.01-6.16), the presence of poultry on a pig-farm (OR 3.24, 95% CI: 1.52-6.94) and no biosecurity measures applied to workers before entry to the piggery (OR 2.65, 95% CI: 1.04-6.78) were found to increase the likelihood of SI being reported by farmers in a multivariable logistic regression model. The findings of this study highlight the importance of understanding the local pig industry and the practices adopted when developing control measures to reduce the risk of SI to pig farms.

Abstract
Spectral imaging is a powerful technique used to simultaneously study multiple fluorophore labels with overlapping emissions. Here, we present a computational spectral imaging method, which uses sample spatial fluorescence information as a reconstruction constraint. Our method addresses both the under-sampling issue of compressive spectral imaging and the low throughput issue of scanning spectral imaging. With simulated and experimental data, we have demonstrated the reconstruction precision of our method in two and three-color imaging. We have experimentally validated this method for differentiating cellular structures labeled with two red-colored fluorescent proteins, tdTomato and mCherry, which have highly overlapping emission spectra. Our method has the advantage of totally free wavelength choice and can also be combined with conventional filter-based sequential multi-color imaging to further improve multiplexing capability.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinical manifestations, pathological features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary tracheobronchial or pulmonary malignant glomus tumor (MGT). Methods: A case of primary tracheal MGT with lung metastasis diagnosed by pathological analysis admitted to Affiliated Shantou Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in May. 2015 was analyzed, and the related literatures were reviewed. We searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Ovid, Cochrane, Wanfang and Chinese National Knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), using the keyword "tracheal or bronchial or pulmonary malignant glomus tumor" from Jan. 1975 to Dec. 2016. Results: A 47 year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of cough, chest tightness and shortness of breath for 3 days. The chest CT showed a soft tissue mass with a diameter of 2.5 cm in the lower tracheal segment, and the lumen was narrowed. Meanwhile, multiple nodular opacities were shown in both lungs. The admission diagnosis was thyroid cancer with multiple metastases of lung. Electronic bronchoscopic airway tumor ablation and cryotherapy were performed, and then the biopsy of the tumor was conducted and the pathological study confirmed the diagnosis of primary tracheal MGT. After 1 month, the tracheal tumor recurred. Then, electronic bronchoscopic airway tumor ablation and cryotherapy were performed again. The patient declined further therapy such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy and died one month later. A total of 14 literatures including 15 cases were retrieved from databases. In addition of this case, a total of 16 cases were analyzed, including 9 males, 7 females. Age of onset ranged from 9 to 74 years, and the average age was 49 years. These patients' chest CT showed airway mass or lung space occupying lesions, and the clinical manifestations were nonspecific. Conclusions: Primary MGT in trachea, bronchus or lung is a rare disease, which is easy to be misdiagnosed or to miss diagnosis. The final diagnosis depends on pathological morphology, and the main treatment is lobectomy or tracheal segment resection surgery. Due to its high invasiveness, local recurrence and metastasis may occur easily. The primary MGT in trachea, bronchus or lung is of poor prognosis.

Abstract
Type I IFNs are a family of cytokines with antiviral, anti-proliferative and immune-modulatory functions. In this study, four type I IFNs (termed AjIFN1-4) have been cloned from the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica. The open reading frames of AjIFN1-4 are 552, 534, 546 and 561 bp in length, encoding 183, 177, 181, and 186 amino acids (aa), respectively. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis results revealed that AjIFN1 and AjIFN2 belong to group one (2C-containing) IFNs, while AjIFN3 and AjIFN4 belong to group two (4C-containing) IFNs. Syntenic comparison showed that chromosome block duplication and rearrangement events might have occurred at IFN loci in different teleost lineages. Expression analysis revealed the rapid induction of AjIFNl and AjIFN2 in response to poly I:C stimulation, while AjIFN3 and AjIFN4 were predominantly expressed at later time points. Two Mx promoter reporter assays were conducted to assess the Mx-inducing capability of AjIFN1-4. It is shown that the overexpression of AjIFN1-4 all promoted the luciferase activity of MxB reporter, but the activity of MxC reporter increased only in cells transfected with AjIFN1. Collectively, it is suggested that teleost IFNs were evolved independently in different lineages of fish and may function differently in teleost antiviral immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with gastric cancer intraoperative macroscopic serosal change is not always consistent with pathological T stage. We investigated whether macroscopic serosal change is associated with unfavourable prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. METHODS We reviewed 856 patients with stage T3 gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy in our institution. All patients were classified as serosa negative and serosa positive according to the macroscopic serosal change during the operation. The prognostic difference between two groups was compared and clinicopathologic features were analysed. RESULTS The percentage of macroscopic serosal change accounted for 55.7% of all patients. Compared with normal serosal surface, the patients with macroscopic serosal change had larger tumour size, more extensive stomach involvement and more advanced stage N. The prognosis of stage T3 with macroscopic serosal change was significantly poorer than that of those with normal serosal surface, especially for those with stages T3N0 and T3N1. Multivariate analysis identified macroscopic serosal change as an independent factor associated with unfavourable prognosis of stage T3 cancer. CONCLUSION Although the depth of tumour invasion mainly depends on pathological evaluation after surgery, the prognostic significance of intraoperative macroscopic serosal change should not be ignored for those patients with subserosal invasion.

Abstract
A good scoring function is necessary for ab inito prediction of RNA tertiary structures. In this study, we explored the power of a machine learning based approach as a scoring function. Compared with the traditional scoring functions, the present approach is more flexible in incorporating different kinds of features; it is also free of the difficult problem of choosing the reference state. Two multi-layer neural networks were constructed and trained. They took RNA a structural candidate as input and then output its likeness score that evaluates the likeness of the candidate to the native structure. The first network was working at the coarse-grained level of RNA structures, while the second at the all-atom level. We also built an RNA database and split it into the training, validation, and testing sets, containing 322, 70, and 70 RNAs, respectively. Each RNA was accompanied with 300 decoys generated by high-temperature molecular dynamics simulations. The networks were trained on the training set and then optimized with an early-stop strategy, based on the loss of the validation set. We then tested the performance of the networks on the testing set. The results were found to be consistently better than a recent knowledge-based all-atom potential.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the genotype-phenotype correlations among those thalassemia samples with the presence of -α(3.7,) --(SEA) and normal α(2) alleles on their α-globin gene clusters. Methods: Fourteen patients(including 1fetus, 4 males and 9 females, aged 0- 56 years old)who were suspected diagnosed by hematologic analysis and genetic testing among 16 080 participants in our laboratory since from August 2011 to August 2016, were enrolled. Complete blood cell count was performed on XE4000i automatic hemocyte analyzer. HbA0, HbF and HbA2 were tested by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Gap-PCR was adopted to detect three common deletional thalassemia deletions. Reverse dot-blot (RDB) assay was applied for detecting 17 common β-globin gene mutations and three common non-deletional α(2) gene mutations. Two-round nested PCR assay was established to detect the genotype of HKαα in α-thalassemia. Results: Fourteen cases were identified as HKαα/--(SEA) (14/16 080), including a pedigree and a rare case of HKαα/--(SEA) co-inheritance with IVS-Ⅱ-654(C→T) heterozygote. In HKαα/--(SEA) thalassemia group, mean cell volume(MCV) was (69.54±5.92)fl, and mean cell hemoglobin(MCH) was(22.11±2.22)pg and hemoglobin(Hb) was (117.64±18.14) g/L. Compared with normal group, MCV, MCH and Hb in HKαα/--(SEA) thalassemia group, was significantly decreased(P<0.05). There were no significant differences between α-thalassemia control group(--(SEA) /αα) in most hematological parameters (P>0.05). Conclusion: The two-round nested PCR could effectively detect the HKαα/--(SEA) genotype. The hematologic characteristics changed significantly in HKαα/--(SEA) group compared with HbH thalassemia and normal group. The genotype and phenotype non-correlation in patients with α-thalassemia should especially be causious to avoid a misdiagnosis of genetic tests, especially in prenatal diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relations of foramen rotundum structure direction and surrounding structure systematically in order to choose the best approach of percutaneous puncturing of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for treating V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: A total of 122 patients with V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia for radiofrequency thermocoagulation were enrolled from August 2012 to May 2017 at the First Hospital of Jiaxing. CT scan images were observed retrospectively, to find the inside and outside of the foramen rotundum. The direction of foramen rotundum were recorded and the best approach of puncturing were analyzed. Results: The images were divided into four quadrants with the semi - coronal CT scan plane of the lower margin of the zygomatic arch and the outer edge of foramen rotundum for horizontal axis, and the sagittal plane for the vertical axis. In 122 cases, foramen rotundum direction in outer upper quadrant were 77 cases(63.1%), and in outer under quadrant were 22 cases(18.0%), and in inner upper quadrant were 19 cases(15.6%), and in inner under quadrant were 4 cases(3.3%). Conclusion: The most common foramen rotundum direction is in outer upper quadrant, so the best approach of percutaneous puncturing of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for treating V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia is the upper side against zygomatic and the inner side against the wall of maxillary sinus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity puts a great health burden in the world. Previous studies suggest that caesarean section (CS) may increase the risk of obesity in children, but it is still uncertain whether this association is causal or due to residual confounding by medical indication. AIM To assess the association between CS, CS without medical indications in particular and the risk of overweight and obesity in school-aged children. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. METHODS The 2014 Shanghai Child Health, Education and Lifestyle Evaluation was a large population-based survey with cluster random probability sampling in 26 primary schools in Shanghai, China, in 2014. The mode of delivery was reported by parents. The height, weight and waist circumference of the children were measured. Logistic regression models with SURVEYLOGISTIC procedure were used to estimate the risk of childhood obesity. Pupils delivered vaginally were served as the reference group. RESULTS A total of 17 571 pupils completed this survey, and 13 724 of them who were singleton, born term and between 5 and 13 years old were included in our analysis. CS was associated with increased risks of overweight and obesity (BMI: adjusted OR = 1.28 [95%CI 1.13-1.45] and 1.44 [1.26-1.66], respectively; weight for height ratio [WHtR] >0.46: 1.33 [1.20-1.48]). Similar results were found in CS without medical indication (BMI: overweight = 1.24 [1.05-1.47], obesity = 1.43 [1.19-1.72]; WHtR > 0.46: 1.30 [1.13-1.50]). CONCLUSIONS CS overall and CS without medical indications were associated with increased risks of overweight and obesity in primary school children.

Abstract
Complete mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences of 1105 individuals were used to assess the diversity of maternal lineages of cattle populations in China. In total, 250 taurine and 88 zebu haplotypes were identified. Five main haplogroups-T1a, T2, T3, T4 and T5-were identified in Bos taurus, whereas Bos indicus harbored two haplogroups-I1 and I2. Our results suggest that the distribution of T1a in Asia was concentrated mainly in the northeast region (northeast China, Korea and Japan); haplogroups T2, T3 and T4 were predominant in Chinese cattle; and T5 was sporadically detected in Mongolian and Pingwu cattle. In contrast to the widespread presence of I1, I2 was distributed only in southwestern China (Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Tibet Autonomous Region) and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This is the first time that all five taurine haplogroups and two zebu haplogroups have been found in Mongolian cattle. In addition, eight individuals in Tibetan cattle carried the Bos grunniens mtDNA type. The high mtDNA diversity (H = 0.904 ± 0.008) and the weak genetic structure among the 57 Chinese cattle breeds/populations are consistent with their complex historical background, migration route and ecological environment.

Abstract
With its vast territory and complex natural environment, China boasts rich cattle genetic resources. To gain the further insight into the genetic diversity and paternal origins of Chinese cattle, we analyzed the polymorphism of Y-SNPs (UTY19 and ZFY10) and Y-STRs (INRA189 and BM861) in 34 Chinese cattle breeds/populations, including 606 males representative of 24 cattle breeds/populations collected in this study as well as previously published data for 302 bulls. Combined genotypic data identified 14 Y-chromosome haplotypes that represented three haplogroups. Y2-104-158 and Y2-102-158 were the most common taurine haplotypes detected mainly in northern and central China, whereas the indicine haplotype Y3-88-156 predominates in southern China. Haplotypes Y2-108-158, Y2-110-158, Y2-112-158 and Y3-92-156 were private to Chinese cattle. The population structure revealed by multidimensional scaling analysis differentiated Tibetan cattle from the other three groups of cattle. Analysis of molecular variance showed that the majority of the genetic variation was explained by the genetic differences among groups. Overall, our study indicates that Chinese cattle retain high paternal diversity (H = 0.607 ± 0.016) and probably much of the original lineages that derived from the domestication center in the Near East without strong admixture from commercial cattle carrying Y1 haplotypes.

Abstract
In China, thirteen species of tick-borne rickettsiales bacteria pathogenic to human have been reported in ticks and host animals, and human patients caused by them also has been identified. However, investigation for rickettsiales bacteria circulating in Xi'an wasn't performed although diseases resembling human diseases caused by these organisms have been found. In this study, domestic animals and ticks in Xi'an, China, were tested for the presence of rickettsiales bacteria pathogenic to humans. Besides A. ovis, a high prevalence of A. capra was observed suggesting a high public health risk exists. In addition, two novel Anaplasma species closely related to A. phagocytophilum were identified and formed distinct lineages in the phylogenetic trees, with more than 98.3% identities for rrs gene, while divergences up to 20.2% and 37.0% for groEL and gltA genes, respectively. Both of these two novel Anaplasma species were found to circulate in goats and further assessment of their pathogenicity is needed. Ca. R. jingxinensis, with potential pathogenicity, was also detected in H. longicomis ticks with high prevalence. However, other causative agents were not identified although they were distributed in other areas of China.

Abstract
Objective: To detect the expression of lncRNA RAB11B-AS1 in osteosarcoma and investigate its role in osteosarcoma cells proliferation and the responsible mechanisms. Methods: Osteosarcoma and corresponding adjacent normal tissues were collected from 24 patients subjected to operations from October 2015 to October 2017 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University.RAB11B-AS1 expression was detected in osteosarcoma specimens by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Lentiviral vectors that stably over-expressing RAB11B-AS1 were constructed and transfected into U2OS osteosarcoma cell line.The effect of RAB11B-AS1 on osteosarcoma cell proliferation and apoptosis was investigated by cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry.U2OS osteosarcoma xenograft model of nude mice was established to observe the effect of RAB11B-AS1 on xenograft growth in mice, and the role of RAB11B-AS1 in proliferation and apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells was investigated by immunohistochemistry and TUNEL staining of osteosarcoma slices.The relationship between RAB11B-AS1 and RAB11B was explored using luciferase reporter assay.The data were compared with t test between the two groups. Results: Expression of RAB11B-AS1 was significantly down-regulated in osteosarcoma (0.010±0.015) versus their paired non-neoplastic tissues (0.022±0.030) (t=2.117, P=0.045). Up-regulation of RAB11B-AS1 resulted in decreased proliferative rate of U2OS cells (F=15.659, P<0.001). The ratios of cells in G0-G1 phase, S phase, G2-M phase were 62.6%±6.3%, 21.4%±2.2%, 16.3%±1.6% respectively in RAB11B-AS1 up-regulated group versus 59.4%±5.9%, 25.9%±2.6%, 15.5%±1.1% respectively in control group, and cell ratio in G0-G1 and S phase were increased significantly by RAB11B-AS1 up-regulation (t=17.124, 17.321, both P<0.05). Apoptosis rate was significantly elevated in RAB11B-AS1 over-expressed cells (12.7%±1.3%) when compared with that in control (10.3%±1.0%)(t=17.321, P=0.003). Mice transplanted with osteosarcoma cells that overexpressed RAB11B-AS1 exhibited lower growth rate of tumor (F=8.798, P=0.009). Mechanistically, RAB11B-AS1 expression correlated negatively with RAB11B expression (r=-0.356, P=0.044). Conclusions: lncRNA RAB11B-AS1 expression is down-regulated significantly in osteosarcoma tissues.RAB11B-AS1 may suppress the progression of osteosarcoma via down-regulating RAB11B.

Abstract
Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) is a key adaptor protein required for the signaling of all Toll-like receptors except TLR3, which results to the interaction of activated TLR complexes via C-terminal TIR domain and the binding of downstream kinase via N-terminal death domain. In this study, the MyD88 gene from the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) was identified. The open reading frame of AjMyD88 was 918 bp in length, encoding a protein composed of conserved N-terminal death domain and C-terminal TIR domain, respectively. Multiple alignment revealed highly conserved sites across all examined vertebrate lineages in death and TIR domains. Site-directed mutagenesis and luciferase analysis revealed that the W78A, L91A and L95A mutations in death domain had modest impairment of their ability in activating NF-κB promoter. The expression level of AjMyD88 was investigated by real-time PCR in response to poly I:C stimulation and Edwardsiella tarda infection. Significantly increased MyD88 expression was observed at early phase in all tested tissues/organs in response to E. tarda infection and slight increase was detected in intestine and gill at 16 hpi and in head kidney, spleen and liver at 24 hpi after poly I:C stimulation. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that AjMyD88 is present as condensed forms in the cytoplasm. Taken together, sequence characterization, gene expression and cellular distribution data obtained in this study suggest that AjMyD88, similar to its mammalian ortholog, plays an important role in eel immune response against bacteria.

Abstract
We report first measurements of e^{+}e^{-} pair production in the mass region 0.4<M_{ee}<2.6 GeV/c^{2} at low transverse momentum (p_{T}<0.15 GeV/c) in noncentral Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and U+U collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=193 GeV. Significant enhancement factors, expressed as ratios of data over known hadronic contributions, are observed in the 40%-80% centrality of these collisions. The excess yields peak distinctly at low p_{T} with a width (sqrt[⟨p_{T}^{2}⟩]) between 40 and 60 MeV/c. The absolute cross section of the excess depends weakly on centrality, while those from a theoretical model calculation incorporating an in-medium broadened ρ spectral function and radiation from a quark gluon plasma or hadronic cocktail contributions increase dramatically with an increasing number of participant nucleons. Model calculations of photon-photon interactions generated by the initial projectile and target nuclei describe the observed excess yields but fail to reproduce the p_{T}^{2} distributions.

Abstract
We report measurements of the nuclear modification factor R_{CP} for charged hadrons as well as identified π^{+(-)}, K^{+(-)}, and p(p[over ¯]) for Au+Au collision energies of sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, and 62.4 GeV. We observe a clear high-p_{T} net suppression in central collisions at 62.4 GeV for charged hadrons which evolves smoothly to a large net enhancement at lower energies. This trend is driven by the evolution of the pion spectra but is also very similar for the kaon spectra. While the magnitude of the proton R_{CP} at high p_{T} does depend on the collision energy, neither the proton nor the antiproton R_{CP} at high p_{T} exhibit net suppression at any energy. A study of how the binary collision-scaled high-p_{T} yield evolves with centrality reveals a nonmonotonic shape that is consistent with the idea that jet quenching is increasing faster than the combined phenomena that lead to enhancement.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV), is a widespread disease that affects domestic pigs of all ages. Accurate and rapid detection of PRRSV specific neutralizing antibodies levels in a pig herd is beneficial for the evaluation of the herd's immunity to combat the specific viral infection. However, the current methods for viral detection, including fluorescent focus neutralization (FFN) and cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction neutralizing assays, are subjective and time-consuming. Therefore, a Clover-tagged PRRSV virus neutralization assay were developed that instrumentally measures the fluorescence signal of Clover stably expressing by a PRRSV infectious clone for at least 10 passages. Herein, the results showed that the proposed Clover-tagged PRRSV neutralization assay is reliable using instrumental measurements of the fluorescence signal of Clover and allows for rapid detection of neutralizing antibodies against PRRSV. The assay was evaluated by testing swine sera from experimental and field samples, and comparisons were made with the traditional FFN and CPE reduction assays. These results suggest that the Clover-tagged PRRSV infectious clone offers a fast and reliable testing method for neutralizing antibodies and could permit high-throughput screening of new antiviral agents.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic hepatic disease associated with excessive accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes. As the disease progresses, oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the development of hepatic lipid peroxidation. Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), a subtype of the cytochrome P450 family, has been shown to be a vital modulator in production of reactive oxygen species. However, the exact role of CYP1A1 in NAFLD is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CYP1A1 on lipid peroxidation in oleic acid (OA)-treated human hepatoma cells (HepG2). We found that the expression of CYP1A1 is elevated in OA-stimulated HepG2 cells. The results of siRNA transfection analysis indicated that CYP1A1-siRNA inhibited the lipid peroxidation in OA-treated HepG2 cells. Additionally, compared with siRNA-transfected and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-OA-induced HepG2 cells, overexpression of CYP1A1 by BaP further accelerated the lipid peroxidation in OA-treated HepG2 cells. These observations reveal a regulatory role of CYP1A1 in liver lipid peroxidation and imply CYP1A1 as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the HIV epidemic and related factors among MSM in Jilin province. Methods: During the implementation of sentinel surveillance program from 2010 to 2015, continuous cross-sectional studies were conducted to monitor the awareness of AIDS, sexual behavior, HIV and syphilis positive rates, with the sample size no less than 400 in each surveillance site. Results: From 2010 to 2015, a total of 7 823 MSM were involved in this study. The overall HIV prevalence among MSM was 5.4% (42/7 823), with an increasing trend during 2010 and 2015 (Trend test χ(2)=110.023, P<0.001). The rates of awareness on AIDS were higher than 90.0%. The proportion of consistent condom use was 27.0% (2 112/7 823) in the last 6 months, and significant differences were found in these years (χ(2)=234.038, P<0.001). Results from multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the HIV infection related risk factors among MSM in Jilin province would include: residency from other provinces (aOR=1.797, 95%CI: 1.185-2.726), recruitment through internet (aOR=1.717, 95%CI: 1.332-2.215), diagnosed of having sexually transmitted diseases in the previous year (aOR=1.893, 95%CI: 1.356-2.643) and positive testing on syphilis (aOR=4.309, 95%CI: 3.097-5.995). And consistent condom uses in the last 6 months (aOR=0.387, 95%CI: 0.143-0.557), tested HIV in the last year (aOR=0.632, 95%CI: 0.375-0.891) were preventive factors. Conclusions: HIV prevalence was increasing among MSM in Jilin province, but both the proportion of consistent condom use and the former HIV testing rate were at a low level. Aggressive measurement including consistent condom use and periodical HIV testing among MSM was warranted.

Abstract
Rapidity-odd directed-flow measurements at midrapidity are presented for Λ, Λ[over ¯], K^{±}, K_{s}^{0}, and ϕ at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV in Au+Au collisions recorded by the Solenoidal Tracker detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These measurements greatly expand the scope of data available to constrain models with differing prescriptions for the equation of state of quantum chromodynamics. Results show good sensitivity for testing a picture where flow is assumed to be imposed before hadron formation and the observed particles are assumed to form via coalescence of constituent quarks. The pattern of departure from a coalescence-inspired sum rule can be a valuable new tool for probing the collision dynamics.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between C-C chemokine receptor type 2(CCR2) and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38MAPK) signaling pathway in the spinal cord of rats and further clarify the mechanism of bone cancer pain (BCP). Methods: A total of 92 healthy female SD rats, of which 60 were subjected to behavioral tests using a ciliary mechanical stimulation needle. SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham operation group (group S), bone cancer pain group (group B), sham operation + DMSO solvent group (group SD), bone cancer pain + DMSO solvent group (group BD), sham operation + RS102895 CCR2 inhibitor group (group SR), bone cancer pain + RS102895 CCR2 inhibitor group (group BR), and Von Frey was used in the behavioral test. Another 32 SD rats were randomly divided into the following 8 groups (n=4): sham operation group (group S), bone cancer pain 5 d group (group B5), bone cancer pain 9 d group (group B9), bone cancer pain 14 d group (group B14), bone cancer pain + DMSO solvent group (group BD), bone cancer pain + RS102895 CCR2 inhibitor 0.5 h group (group BR0.5 h), bone cancer pain + RS102895 CCR2 inhibitor 4 h group (group BR4 h), bone cancer pain + RS102895 CCR2 inhibitor 12 h group (group BR12 h). Western blot was used to detect the expression of P38, p-P38 and CCR2 in spinal cord of rats. Results: At day 5, 7, 9, 14, 21 post-injection, mechanical withdrawal thresholds of group S were(30.9±1.5), (31.9±1.2), (32.0±1.1), (31.6±1.5), (32.2±1.4)g respectively, the mechanical withdrawal thresholds of group B were( 26.4±0.7), (24.4±0.8), (21.4±0.8), (13.5±0.4), (9.9±0.2)g respectively, the mechanical withdrawal thresholds in group B decreased obviously versus group S, and the differences were statistically significant(t=-13.177, -16.660, -23.778, -35.574, -48.401, all P<0.01). At day 9 post-injection, the mechanical withdrawal thresholds in SD, BD, SR and BR groups were (32.4±1.7), (19.4±1.1), (32.1±1.3), (26.3±1.0) g respectively, the difference was statistically significant (F=224.681, P<0.01), and the mechanical withdrawal thresholds in group BD decreased obviously versus group SD, while the mechanical withdrawal thresholds in group BR increased obviously versus group BD. The expression levels of p-P38 in spinal cord of group S, group B5, group B9 and group B14 were(0.08±0.03), (0.20±0.05), (0.40±0.17), (0.65±0.14)respectively, the expression levels of CCR2 were(0.08±0.04), (0.18±0.05), (0.30±0.09), (0.58±0.07)respectively, the difference was statistically significant(F=19.123, 40.746, all P<0.01), and the expression of p-P38 and CCR2 in group B9 were showed a significant up-regulation versus group S. The expression levels of p-P38 in spinal cord of group BD, group BR0.5 h, group BR4 h and group BR12 h were (0.57±0.06), (0.17±0.11), (0.03±0.01), (0.25±0.11)respectively, and the difference was statistically significant(F=29.582, P<0.01). The expression of p-P38 in group BR0.5 h, BR4 h, BR12 h showed a significant down-regulation versus group BD. Conclusion: CCR2 in the spinal cord may be involved in the development of bone cancer pain by activating P38MAPK signaling pathway in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging is an acknowledged risk factor for most chronic diseases and functional impairments. The practicability of potential biomarkers of aging remains unsure. Moreover, biomarkers related to certain geriatric diseases, such as carotid atherosclerosis and multiple co-morbidities are less understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the definite relationship between metabolic biomarkers and aging-related diseases. METHODS Eighty-five male adults aged fifty years or older from the general population were enrolled. Plasma metabolic biomarkers, including fourteen amino acids and thirty-six acylcarnitines, were measured by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Bivariate correlation analysis was employed to estimate the correlations between variables and age, and also to evaluate the relationship between metabolic biomarkers and aging-related diseases. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was conducted to judge the diagnostic efficiency of potential metabolic biomarkers for co-morbidities. RESULTS Certain metabolic biomarkers were strongly positively correlated with age, such as tetradecenoylcarnitine (C14:1), microalbumin-urine creatinine ratio (UACR), dodecenoylcarnitine (C12:1) and citrulline (p < 0.001). Carotid atherosclerosis and co-morbidities were positively correlated with aging (p < 0.001). After adjustment for age, hydroxytetradecanoylcarnitine (C14OH) remained positively correlated with carotid plague area. Besides, citrulline had diagnostic power for co-morbidities. CONCLUSIONS Citrulline may be a promising metabolic biomarker in the middle-aged and elderly men. Larger-scale and long-term studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
A highly crystalline nanosized spinel LiMn2O4/3DG composite cathode material for high rate lithium ion batteries was successfully prepared by mixing spinel LiMn2O4 particles with reduced graphene oxide (3DG). Spinel LiMn2O4 and reduced three-dimensional graphene oxide were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and freeze-drying technology, respectively. The structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of the synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic charge–discharge techniques. The results showed that the LiMn2O4/3DG composites exhibited excellent rate capability and stable cycling performance. The discharge capacity was 131 mA h g−1 and the capacity remains at 89.3% after 100 cycles at a 0.5 C rate, while the discharge capacity was 90 mA h g−1 at 10 C. Compared with spinel LiMn2O4 materials, the LiMn2O4/3DG composites showed obvious improvement in electrochemical performance. 3DG/LiMn2O4 composites exhibit a high specific capacity and excellent rate performance.![]()

Abstract
Background The subcrestal placement of implant platform has been considered a key factor in the preservation of crestal bone, but the influence of implant placement depth on bone remodeling combined with peri-implantitis is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the crestal or subcrestal placement of implants on peri-implant bone defects of ligature-induced peri-implantitis in dogs. Material and Methods Eight weeks after tooth extraction in six beagle dogs, two different types of implants (A: OsseoSpeed™, Astra, Mölndal, Sweden; B: Integra-CP™, Bicon, Boston, USA) were placed at either crestal or subcrestal (-1.5 mm) positions on one side of the mandible. Ligature-induced peri-implantitis was initiated four weeks after the installation of the healing abutment connections. After 12 weeks, tissue biopsies were processed for histological analyses. Results Supra-alveolar bone loss combined with a shallow infrabony defect was observed in crestal level implants while deep and wide infrabony defects were present in subcrestal level groups. Subcrestal groups showed significantly greater ridge loss, depths and widths of infrabony defects when compared to crestal groups (P<0.001). Conclusions Within the limitations of the animal study, it can be stated that the implants at subcrestal position displayed greater infra-osseous defect than implants at crestal position under an experimental ligature-induced peri-implantitis. Key words:Subcrestal, peri-implantitis, histology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adalimumab is used to treat moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) when conventional therapies fail. AIM To update long-term adalimumab safety from CD and UC trials; the previous report was CD only, 3160 patients/3402 patient-years (PYs). METHODS Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs; first dose to 70 days after last dose/December 31, 2015) in adults in phase 2/3 and 3/3b trials and open-label extensions were coded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA-v18.1). Rates were assessed as events/100 (E/100 PYs). RESULTS The database (16 trials; CD, N = 3606; UC, N = 1739) represented 4145 and 3397 PYs of exposure, respectively. For CD, incidences of any AEs with adalimumab were 60.8%-65.1%, depending on dose, and 71.5% with placebo; for UC, the incidences were 53.5%-54.8% and 56.1%, respectively. Rates of any AEs (CD, 605 E/100 PYs; UC, 361 E/100 PYs), serious AEs (CD, 36.1 E/100 PYs; UC, 18.9 E/100 PYs), and malignancies (CD, 1.2 E/100 PYs; UC, 1.0 E/100 PYs) were similar between current and prior analyses. Apparent rate of opportunistic infections was lowered to 0.3 and 0.2 E/100 PYs for CD and UC, respectively, by recent MedDRA changes excluding oral candidiasis and tuberculosis. Standardised incidence ratios for malignancies were similar to the general population (CD, 1.45 [95% CI, 0.90-2.22]; UC, 1.36 [95% CI, 0.84-2.07]). Demyelinating disorders were uncommon (CD, 0.1 E/100 PYs; UC, <0.1 E/100 PYs). CONCLUSIONS Patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis continued to experience acceptable safety with adalimumab, without new safety signals.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the dose-response relationship of ropivacaine for epidural block in early herpes zoster by CT guided. Methods: From January 2015 to February 2017, according to the principle of completely random digital table, 80 patients with early herpes zoster who were prepared for epidural block were divided into 4 groups(each group 20 patients): in group A the concentration of ropivacaine was 0.08%, in group B was 0.10%, in group C was 0.12% and in group D was 0.14%.Under CT guidance, epidural puncture was performed in the relevant section, mixing liquid 5.0 ml (with 10% iodohydrin)were injected into epidural gap.CT scan showed that the mixing liquid covered the relevant spinal nerve segmental.The numeric rating scale(NRS) values before treatment and at 30 minutes, the incidence of adverse reactions were recorded, and the treatment were evaluated. The response to ropivacaine for epidural block in early herpes zoster was defined as positive when the NRS values was less than or equal to one.The ED(50), ED(95) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of ropivacaine for epidural block in early herpes zoster guided by CT were calculated by probit analysis. Results: The NRS values before treatment were 5.00(4.00, 6.00), 5.00(4.25, 6.00), 5.50(5.00, 6.00) and 5.00(4.00, 6.00), the difference was no significant(Z=2.576, P=0.462). The NRS values at 30 minutes decreased and the effective rate of the treatment increased(χ(2)=8.371, P=0.004), following ropivacaine dose gradient increasing, they were 1.50(1.00, 2.00), 1.00(1.00, 2.00), 0.50(0.00, 1.00) and 0.00(0.00, 1.00), the difference was statistically significant (Z=17.421, P=0.001). There was one case in group C and four cases in group D were hypoesthesia, others were no significant adverse reactions occurred. The ED(50) and ED(95) (95%CI) of ropivacaine for epidural block in early herpes zoster guided by CT were 0.078%(0.015%-0.095%)and 0.157%(0.133%-0.271%), respectively. Conclusion: Ropivacaine for epidural block in early herpes zoster guided by CT is effective for neuropathic pain, with no significant adverse reactions.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value and feasibility of narrow-band imaging in detection of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: One thousand three hundred and sixty-four NPC patients who had completed NPC treatment were enrolled. All patients were followed-up with imaging, serological examination of EB virus and nasopharyngeal endoscopy(WL and NBI mode), in which (1) both white light (WL) and NBI modes were done; (2) positive endoscopic patients were given nasopharyngeal biopsy; (3) using histologic finding as criterion standard, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Yonden's index of two modes were compared. Kappa index was used to evaluate the consistency between the two modes and pathological results respectively; (4) the positive rates of WL and NBI in patients with early recurrent (stage Ⅰ+ Ⅱ) were compared. Results: A total of 265 cases were suspected as having recurrent lesions by endoscopy in WL mode and 68 cases of them were pathologically diagnosed as having NPC; and 82 cases were suspected as having recurrent lesions by endoscopy in NBI mode and 74 cases of them were pathologically diagnosed as having NPC. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Yonden's index of WL mode were 91.89%, 0, 25.09% and -0.0811, respectively, with a kappa of -0.045; the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Yonden's index of NBI mode were 100.00%, 95.94%, 97.05% and 0.9594, respectively. Conclusion: NBI has higher sensitivity, specificity, early diagnosis rate and Yonden's index than WL.

Abstract
The DNA methylation of imprinted genes is an important way to regulate epigenetic reprogramming of donor cells in somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, the effects of sexual distinction on the DNA methylation of imprinted genes in cloned animals have seldom been reported. In this study, we analysed the DNA methylation status of three imprinted genes (Xist, IGF2 and H19) from liveborn cloned buffaloes (L group, three female and three male), stillborn cloned buffaloes (S group, three female and three male) and natural reproduction buffaloes (N group, three female and three male), using bisulphite sequencing polymerase chain reaction (BS-PCR). The expression levels of these imprinted genes were also investigated by quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR). The DNA methylation levels of H19 were not significantly different among the groups. However, the Xist in female and IGF2 in male of the S group were found to be significantly hypomethylated in comparison with the same sexual buffaloes in L group and N group (p < .05). Furthermore, the expression levels of Xist, IGF2 and H19 in the stillborn female cloned buffaloes of S group were significantly higher than that of the female buffaloes in the L group and N group (p < .05). The expression levels of IGF2 and H19 in the stillborn male cloned buffaloes in the S group were significantly higher than that of the male buffaloes in the L group and N group (p < .05). These results indicate that Xist may be associated with the viability of female cloned buffaloes, and IGF2 may also be related to the viability of male cloned buffaloes.

Abstract
AIM The cardioprotective effects of sevoflurane postconditioning (SpostC) are eliminated under diabetic conditions, and the underlying mechanism for this phenomenon remains unclear. Many studies have demonstrated that the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signalling pathway in the myocardium is impaired under diabetic conditions. This study was to investigate whether deferoxamine (DFO)-induced activation of HIF-1 signalling pathway can restore the cardioprotective effects of SpostC in diabetic rats. METHODS A model of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury was induced via ligation of the left anterior descending artery. SpostC was conducted by administering 1.0 MAC sevoflurane. After inducing the I/R injury, the following parameters were measured: myocardial infarct size, cardiac function, myocardial ultrastructure, mitochondrial respiratory function, respiratory chain enzyme activity, rate of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and protein expression of HIF-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax. RESULTS After DFO activated HIF-1 in the impaired myocardium of diabetic rats, SpostC significantly upregulated the protein expression of HIF-1α and its downstream mediator VEGF. This improved myocardial mitochondrial respiratory function and respiratory chain enzyme activity and reduced ROS generation as well as the protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax. As a result, myocardial infarct size decreased, and cardiac function and mitochondrial ultrastructure improved. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates for the first time that abolishment of the cardioprotective effects of SpostC in diabetic rats is associated with impairment of the HIF-1 signalling pathway and that DFO can activate HIF-1 to restore these cardioprotective effects of SpostC in diabetic rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Avian hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is common in chicken flocks in China, as currently no measures exist to prevent the spread of the disease. In this study, we analyzed the effect of caged versus cage-free housing arrangements on avian HEV transmission. First, 127 serum and 110 clinical fecal samples were collected from 4 chicken flocks including the two arrangements in Shaanxi Province, China and tested for HEV antibodies and/or virus. Concurrently, 36 specific-pathogen-free chickens were divided equally into four experimental living arrangement groups, designated cage-free (Inoculated), caged (Inoculated), cage-free (Negative) and caged (Negative) groups. In caged groups, three cages contained 3 chickens each. Three chickens each from cage-free (Inoculated) and caged (Inoculated) groups (one chicken of each cage) were inoculated by cutaneous ulnar vein with the same dose of avian HEV, respectively. The cage-free (Negative) and caged (Negative) groups served as negative control. Serum and fecal samples were collected at 1 to 7 weeks post-inoculation (wpi) and liver lesions were scored at 7 wpi. RESULTS The results of serology showed that the avian HEV infection rate (54.10%) of the cage-free chickens was significantly higher than the one (12.12%) for caged chickens (P < 0.05). Also, the rate of detection of avian HEV RNA in the clinical fecal samples was significantly higher in the cage-free (22.80%, 13/57) than caged birds (5.66%, 3/53). Moreover, under experimental conditions, the infected number of uninoculated cage-free chickens (6) was significantly higher than the one for the uninoculated caged birds (2), as evidenced by seroconversion, fecal virus shedding, viremia and gross and microscopic liver lesions. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that reduction of contact with feces as seen in the caged arrangement of housing chickens can reduce avian HEV transmission. This study provides insights for prevention and control of avian HEV infection in chicken flocks.

Abstract
We report the first dijet transverse momentum asymmetry measurements from Au+Au and pp collisions at RHIC. The two highest-energy back-to-back jets reconstructed from fragments with transverse momenta above 2 GeV/c display a significantly higher momentum imbalance in heavy-ion collisions than in the pp reference. When reexamined with correlated soft particles included, we observe that these dijets then exhibit a unique new feature-momentum balance is restored to that observed in pp for a jet resolution parameter of R=0.4, while rebalancing is not attained with a smaller value of R=0.2.
