Abstract
In March 2017, a severely burned male patient aged 36 years with hypovolemic shock was admitted to our hospital. The patient received large quantities of antibiotics and blood products and repeated skin graft after admission, and then he suffered wound errhysis and throat congestion. The patient was healthy before without family history of bleeding or thrombosis disease. Laboratory tests showed that prothrombin time and activated partial coagulation time were remarkably prolonged, blood coagulation factor Ⅴ activity was extremely low, and the result of qualitative test of coagulation factor inhibitor was positive. Acquired blood coagulation factor Ⅴ deficiency was diagnosed. After application of dexamethasone (5 mg, twice per day) and infusion of fresh frozen plasma, blood coagulation indicators of patients recovered in 4 days, the result of qualitative test of coagulation factor inhibitor was negative, and bleeding symptoms were improved.

Abstract
Since there is a symbiotic and competitive relationship between microorganisms in the same ecological niche, fungal defensins have been found to be important resources for antimicrobial peptides. Here, a fungal defensin, triintsin, was characterized in a clinical isolate of Trichophyton interdigitale from a patient with onychomycosis. The comparison of its genomic and mRNA sequences showed the gene organization and structure of three coding exons separated by two introns. The precursor peptide of triintsin contained 85 amino acid residues, which were composed of three parts including an N-terminal signal domain of 21 residues, a pro-peptide of 47 residues that ended at lysine-arginine and a mature peptide of 38 residues at the C-terminus. The 3D-structure established by homology modeling revealed that triintsin presented a representative typical cysteine-stabilized α-helical and β-sheet fold. The reductive linear peptide of triintsin was obtained by chemical synthesis. After cyclization to form three pairs of disulfide bonds, the oxidative-type peptide displayed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria but also showed anti-fungal activity. Moreover, triintsin can effectively inhibit the growth of clinical strains. Altogether, the peptide is a human pathogenic fungus-derived defensin with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
The alarming rise in the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria poses a unique challenge for the development of effective therapeutic agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have attracted a great deal of attention as a possible solution to the increasing problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Marcin-18 was identified from the scorpion Mesobuthus martensii at both DNA and protein levels. The genomic sequence revealed that the marcin-18 coding gene contains a phase-I intron with a GT-AG splice junction located in the DNA region encoding the N-terminal part of signal peptide. The peptide marcin-18 was also isolated from scorpion venom. A protein sequence homology search revealed that marcin-18 shares extremely high sequence identity to the AMPs meucin-18 and megicin-18. In vitro, chemically synthetic marcin-18 and its homologs (meucin-18 and megicin-18) showed highly potent inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including some clinical antibiotic-resistant strains. Importantly, in a mouse acute peritonitis model, these peptides significantly decreased the bacterial load in ascites and rescued nearly all mice heavily infected with clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from lethal bacteremia. Peptides exerted antimicrobial activity via a bactericidal mechanism and killed bacteria through membrane disruption. Taken together, marcin-18 and its homologs have potential for development as therapeutic agents for treating antibiotic-resistant, Gram-positive bacterial infections.

Abstract
Objective:To evaluate neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in children of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Method:122 cases of OSAHS patients were selected, and divided into 3 groups: mild OSAHS group (41 cases), moderate OSAHS group (41 cases), and severe OSAHS group (40 cases), according to the stage apnea hypoventilation index (AHI) and the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO₂). In addition, 40 cases healthy children were selected as control group. The differences NLR and PLR between 4 groups were compared. Result:The NLR in the severe OSAHS group (1.57±0.58) was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (0.98±0.22), mild OSAHS group (1.24±0.47), and moderate OSAHS group (1.36±0.46), P<0.05. However, there was no significant difference in PLR between the normal control group and other OSAHS groups (P> 0.05). A positive correlation between AHI and NLR (r=0.385,P=0.000), and a negative correlation between AHI and minimal oxygen saturation were observed (r=-0.686,P=0.000). Conclusion:NLR might be used as a marker to evaluate the severity of inflammatory status in OSAHS patients, but PLR could no.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and availability of retroperitoneal laparoscopic debridement therapy for patients with infected severe acute pancreatitis. Methods: Clinical data of 6 patients with severe acute pancreatitis who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic necrotic tissue debridement therapy in the Severe Acute Pancreatitis Center of Sir Run Run Hospital between August 2014 and October 2015 was retrospectively analyzed. The laparoscopic instruments and sponge forceps were used to remove necrotic tissue under retroperitoneal space, and double-cavity drainage tube was left for continuous washing. The perioperative indicators were collected and analyzed. Results: Two of six patients underwent two surgeries, and the others underwent one surgery, with an average operation time of (220.0±58.3) minutes and a mean hospital stay time of 62.6 days (35-117 days). One patient underwent re-operation after 33 days because of intraperitoneal hemorrhage, and another patient suffered pancreatic pseudocyst after the surgery, but no one died in hospital. Conclusion: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic debridement therapy is an additional choice for patients with infected severe acute pancreatitis, especially for those who had limited necrosis under retroperitoneal space. Furthermore, the therapy is in line with the concept of minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Disruptions of extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis are key events in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). MicroRNA-140 (miRNA-140) is expressed specifically in cartilage and regulates ECM-degrading enzymes. Our objective in this study was to determine if intra-articular injection of miRNA-140 can attenuate OA progression in rats. DESIGN miRNA-140 levels in human normal and OA cartilage derived chondrocytes and synovial fluid were assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After primary human chondrocytes were transfected with miRNA-140 mimic or inhibitor, PCR and western blotting were performed to quantify Collagen II, MMP-13, and ADAMTS-5 expression. An OA model was induced surgically in rats, and subsequently treated with one single intra-articular injection of miRNA-140 agomir. At 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery, OA progression were evaluated macroscopically, histologically, and immunohistochemically in these rats. RESULTS miRNA-140 levels were significantly reduced in human OA cartilage derived chondrocytes and synovial fluid compared with normal chondrocytes and synovial fluid. Overexpressing miRNA-140 in primary human chondrocytes promoted Collagen II expression and inhibited MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 expression. miRNA-140 levels in rat cartilage were significantly higher in the miRNA-140 agomir group than in the control group. Moreover, behavioural scores, chondrocyte numbers, cartilage thickness and Collagen II expression levels in cartilage were significantly higher, while pathological scores and MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 expression levels were significantly lower in the miRNA-140 agomir group than in the control group. CONCLUSION Intra-articular injection of miRNA-140 can alleviate OA progression by modulating ECM homeostasis in rats, and may have potential as a new therapy for OA.

Abstract
The charge-trapping memory devices with a structure Pt/Al2O3/(Ta2O5) x (TiO2) 1-x /Al2O3/p-Si (x = 0.9, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25) were fabricated by using rf-sputtering and atomic layer deposition techniques. A special band alignment between (Ta2O5) x (TiO2) 1-x and Si substrate was designed to enhance the memory performance by controlling the composition and dielectric constant of the charge-trapping layer and reducing the difference of the potentials at the bottom of the conduction band between (Ta2O5) x (TiO2) 1-x and Si substrate. The memory device with a composite charge storage layer (Ta2O5) 0.5 (TiO2) 0.5 shows a density of trapped charges 3.84 × 1013/cm2 at ± 12 V, a programming/erasing speed of 1 µs at ± 10 V, a 8% degradation of the memory window at ± 10 V after 104 programming/erasing cycles and a 32% losing of trapped charges after ten years. The difference among the activation energies of the trapped electrons in (Ta2O5) x (TiO2) 1-x CTM devices indicates that the retention characteristics are dominated by the difference of energy level for the trap sites in each TTO CTM device.

Abstract
‘Superbug’ bacteria producing NDM-1 enzyme causing wide public concern were first detected in a patient who visited India in 2008. It's an effective approach to combining β-lactam antibiotics with NDM-1 inhibitor for treating NDM-1 producing strain infection. In our research, we designed ten oligopeptides, tested IC50 values against NDM-1 enzyme, determined the MIC values of synergistic antibacterial effect and explored the binding model. We found that the oligopeptides 2 (Cys-Phe) and 5 (Cys-Asp) respectively presented IC50 values of 113 μM and 68 μM and also displayed favorable synergistic effects of the inhibitors in combination with ertapenem against genetic engineering-host E. coli BL21 (DE3)/pET30a-NDM-1 and a clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa with blaNDM-1. Flexible docking and partial charge study suggested the interaction between oligopeptide and NDM-1. Three types of action effects, hydrogen bond, electrostatic effect and π-π interaction, contributed to the inhibitory activities.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of tanshinone ⅡA combined with cisplatin on tumor Fadu cells in pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Method:Cytotoxicity was determined by CCK8 assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. Western blotting was used to assess the protein expression of related signaling proteins. Result:Compared with the two single drug groups treated with Tan ⅡA and DDP respectively, the combination group showed significantly higher anti-proliferative rate (P<0.01), arrested cell cycle at S phase, and resulted in observably higher apoptotic cell fractions in human hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas Fadu cells; Western blotting showed that the protein expression of cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved PARP increased ,while survivin significantly decreased in the cells treated with the combination of tanshinone ⅡA and cisplatin. Conclusion:Tanshinone ⅡA potentiates the efficacy of Cisplatin in Fadu cells, which may be attributed to the downregulation of survivin protein expression.

Abstract
The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of telephone-based interventions on prognostic outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in breast cancer patients and survivors. A systematic search of the Cochrane Library, Web of science, Medline, EMBASE, CNKI and CBM database was carried out. Randomised, controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of telephone-based intervention versus a control group receiving no telephone intervention, on prognostic outcomes and HRQoL with breast cancer were included. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the effects of telephone-based interventions on anxiety, depression, fatigue, self-efficiency, physiological function, social-domestic function and quality of life. In total, 14 studies involving 2002 participants were included. Due to the effect of telephone-based interventions, statistically significant results were found on anxiety (standard mean difference [SMD] = -0.16, 95% confidence intervals [CI] [0.01, 0.30], p = .04), self-efficiency (SMD = 0.22, 95% CI [-0.34, -0.10], p = .0004), social-domestic function (SMD = 0.19, 95% CI [-0.35, -0.03], p = .02) and quality of life (SMD = 0.54, 95% CI [-1.00, -0.08], p = .02). Although the effects on depression, fatigue and physiological function were in the expected direction, these effects were not statistically significant (p > .05) based on the insufficient evidence.

Abstract
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes acute and chronic liver disease, ultimately leading to the development of liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Phospholipase A2 group IIA (PLA2G2A) plays important roles in the development and progression of many tumors. Thus far, there have been no reports on the association between HBV and PLA2G2A. The present study investigated the effect of HBV infection on PLA2G2A expression and its application in the diagnosis of HBV-related diseases. Methods Serum levels of PLA2G2A in 308 HBV-infected patients and 185 healthy controls were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The difference in serum levels of PLA2G2A was analyzed among chronic hepatitis B (CHB), LC, and HCC patients. PLA2G2A mRNA and protein expression in HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells carrying the integrated HBV genome were measured using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot assays. The HBV infectious clone pHBV1.3, the control plasmid pBlue-ks and PLA2G2A gene promoter were transfected into HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells. After transfection, the luciferase activity was measured in the cells. PLA2G2A mRNA and protein expression levels were examined using RT-PCR and western blot assays. Results The serum levels of PLA2G2A were 258.3 ± 20.3ng/dl in the healthy controls and 329.0 ± 22.5ng/dl, 385.4 ± 29.3ng/dl and 459.2 ± 38.6ng/dl in the CHB, LC, and HCC patients, respectively. Statistical analyses revealed significantly higher serum levels of PLA2G2A in CHB, LC, and HCC patients than in the healthy controls (P < 0.05), and PLA2G2A levels were elevated in the order of HCC > LC > CHB group. High serum PLA2G2A levels in HCC patients were associated with a lower prevalence of lymph node metastasis and a lower TNM stage. HepG2.2.15 cells carrying the HBV genome expressed higher levels of PLA2G2A mRNA and protein than the HepG2 cells. In addition, HBV triggered PLA2G2A promoter activity and enhanced PLA2G2A mRNA and protein expression compared to the empty vector pBlue-ks. Conclusion HBV can upregulate the expression of PLA2G2A, and serum levels of PLA2G2A are associated with the progression of HBV-related diseases.

Abstract
An alternating integrator has been designed for the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak that is intended for long pulse operation of up to 1000 s. The electromagnetic operating environment for the device is so complex that it could affect the performance of the integrator. The new integrator system is carefully designed and actualized based on specific reduced electromagnetic interference requirements, which were formulated based on consideration of processing of the input signals, the isolation properties, and the circuit board layout and grounding. The developed integrator shows excellent electromagnetic compatibility and low-drift properties.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and advantage of improved microsurgery for fulminant hemorrhagic dilation of the fourth ventricle. Methods: The clinical data of 21 patients with fulminant hemorrhagic dilation of the fourth ventricle were analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent hemorrhage evacuation and improved atlantooccipital decompression via middle suboccipital trans-cerebellar vermis approach, with preceding external ventricular drain. Results: One patient died of brainstem failure postoperative, and 20 patients were followed up from 6 to 17 months.There were 8 patients whose KPS exceeded 90, 6 patients whose KPS were 60 to 90, 4 patients whose KPS were 30 to 60, and two patients whose KPS were lower than 30.There was no recurrence of hydrocephalus and posterior fossa fluid. Conclusions: The improved microsurgery for fulminant hemorrhagic dilation of the fourth ventricle not only could effectively raise the success rate of salvage, but also greatly reduce postoperative complications compared with traditional mode.
