Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA NORAD on proliferation and invasion of ovarian cancer cells through miR-199a-3p. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-six ovarian cancer tissues and 86 tissues adjacent to cancer, human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3, HO-8910, A2780, OVCAR-3, and human normal ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80 were collected. MiR-199a-3p-mimics, miR-199a-3p-inhibitor, miR-NC, si-NORAD, Sh-NORAD, and NC were transfected into HO-8910 and A2780 cells, the expression levels of lncRNA NORAD and miR-199a-3p in ovarian cancer tissues and cells were detected by qRT-PCR, and the expression levels of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, and vimentin in cells were detected by WB. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), transwell, and cell scratch tests were used to detect proliferation, invasion, and migration of cells, and the relationship between lncRNA NORAD and miR-199a-3p was confirmed by the Dual-Luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS LncRNA NORAD was highly expressed and miR-199a-3p was lowly expressed in ovarian cancer, and the expression levels of LNCRNARAD and miR-199a-3p were negatively correlated. Cell experiments showed that inhibiting the expression of lncRNA NORAD or up-regulating the expression of miR-199a-3p could inhibit the proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT of ovarian cancer cells, while up-regulating the expression of lncRNA NORAD or inhibiting the expression of miR-199a-3p could promote their proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT. Dual-Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that there was a regulatory relationship between lncRNA NORAD and miR-199a-3p. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA NORAD was highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues, while silencing lncRNA NORAD expression could inhibit the proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT of ovarian cancer cells by regulating miR-199a-3p, which might be a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the dynamic changes in characteristic serum metabolic markers and pathways during early sepsis in rats. By using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), we made rat models of sepsis, which were randomly divided into 5 groups with 10 rats in each group: group A, group B, group C, group D, and group E. We collected 2 mL of arterial blood at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours from rats in group A-E respectively and isolated serum via centrifugation. Next, adopting metabolomics analysis methods, we screened for metabolites from the animal serum with statistically and biologically significant abundance changes, and used the KEGG database to analyze the respective metabolic pathways. In all, our findings reveal that D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, D-glucosamine phosphate, α-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate, D-glucosamine 1-phosphate, and 5-hydroxy isocyanate decline continuously from 12 hours, while L-phenylalanine, (S) -α-amino-β-phenylpropionic acid, 5-methoxy indole acetic acid salt, 5-methoxy indole acetic acid, goose deoxyglycolic acid salt, goose deoxyglycolic acid, and Chen's deoxygenated sugar alcohol started to decrease from 6 hours. Additionally, 3.2,3-Bis-O-(geranyl geranyl)-sn-glycerol- 1-phosphoric acid-L-serine levels rose continuously from 12 hours. We found 13 differentially regulated ions, primarily ones involved in pathways responsible for the metabolism of sugar, amino acids, and lipids, which are related to the disorder of energy metabolism. Our findings mark serum-derived D-glucosamine and its phosphorous derivatives as characteristic metabolic markers of sepsis in rats.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Ketosis can seriously impair cow performance. This study detected changes in prepartum blood metabolic parameters for predicting postpartum ketosis occurrence in dairy cows. Body condition score (BCS) was assessed before and after delivery. Blood samples of 63 cows were collected from 10 days before calving to 10 days after calving to measure metabolic parameters including β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), glucose (GLU), total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLO), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). There was a postpartum subclinical ketosis incidence of 42.25%. Compared with prepartum, plasma, levels of BHBA, AST, and NEFA significantly increased postpartum, and prepartum AST (R=0.57) and NEFA (R=0.45) showed a significant positive correlation with ketosis postpartum. Plasma GLU level significantly decreased postpartum and was significantly negatively correlated with ketosis (R=-0.21). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed prepartum BSC < 2.88, and prepartum plasma AST > 68.0 U/L, GLU < 3.97mmol/L, NEFA > 0.27mmol/L, and BHBA > 0.43mmol/L, indicating a high risk of subclinical ketosis postpartum. These levels can be used as risk indicators to predict the occurrence of subclinical ketosis in postpartum cows.

Abstract
Furans represent one of the most important classes of intermediates in the conversion of non-edible lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based chemicals and fuels. At present, bio-furan derivatives are generally obtained from cellulose and hemicellulose fractions of biomass via the acid-catalyzed dehydration of their relative C6-C5 sugars and then converted into a wide range of products. Furfural (FUR) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are surely the most used furan-based feedstocks since their chemical structure allows the preparation of various high-value-added chemicals. Among several well-established catalytic approaches, hydrogenation and oxygenation processes have been efficiently adopted for upgrading furans; however, harsh reaction conditions are generally required. In this review, we aim to discuss the conversion of biomass derived FUR and HMF through unconventional (transfer hydrogenation, photocatalytic and electrocatalytic) catalytic processes promoted by heterogeneous catalytic systems. The reaction conditions adopted, the chemical nature and the physico-chemical properties of the most employed heterogeneous systems in enhancing the catalytic activity and in driving the selectivity to desired products are presented and compared. At the same time, the latest results in the production of FUR and HMF through novel environmental friendly processes starting from lignocellulose as well as from wastes and by-products obtained in the processing of biomass are also overviewed.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of plasma pathological changes before timed artificial insemination (TAI) on pregnancy of cows. The contents of estrogen (E2), progesterone (P4), glucose (Glu), selenium (Se), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and histamine (HIS) in plasma of 48 Holstein cows were measured before TAI. According to the estrus detection, the cows were divided into estrus (E) and anestrus (A) groups. After pregnancy testing at 28 d after TAI, two groups of E and A were divided into positive pregnancy of E group (EP+), negative pregnancy of E group (EP-), positive pregnancy of A group (AP+), and negative pregnancy of A group (AP-). The contents of E2, P4, Glu, Se, BDNF and hIS significantly differed among the four groups (P<0.01). The ROC analysis was used to determine the risk of negative pregnancy test (-) after TAI was increased when plasma E2 was less than 46.45 pmol/L in cows before TAI. The changes in E2, P4,hIS, Glu, and BDNF in the blood of natural estrus and natural anestrus cows affected the pregnancy after TAI. the level of E2 in plasma may be used to assess the risk of negative pregnancy after TAI.

Abstract
To assess the correlation between thyroid function and glucolipid metabolism in type 1 diabetic adults. A retrospective analysis was conducted in 230 type 1 diabetic adults who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from January 2008 to January 2020. It showed that thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) was significantly positively correlated with total cholesterol (TC) (r=0.239), triglycerides (TG) (r=0.166) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (r=0.249), respectively (all P<0.05). Free triiodothyronine (FT3) was significantly negatively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (r=-0.272), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (r=-0.240), TC (r=-0.197) and LDL-C (r=-0.220), respectively (all P<0.05). Free thyroxine (FT4) was negatively correlated with TC (r=-0.171) and LDL-C (r=-0.170), respectively (all P<0.05). TC was an independent predictor of TSH, FT3 and FT4, FT3 and FT4 were independent predictors of HbA1c. TSH was an independent predictor of TC, TG and LDL-C. Thyroid function is closely related to glucolipid metabolism in type 1 diabetic adults.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluated the prognostic and predictive roles of DNA mismatch repair status in colon cancer patients treated with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. From 2005 to 2008, patients who underwent curative surgical resection for high-risk stage II or stage III colon cancer were recruited in this study. These patients had been received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. A total 324 patients were included (41.7% at stage II and 58.3% at stage III), and 59 patients (18.2%) exhibited mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR). The prognostic analysis revealed an increase in disease-free survival (DFS) for dMMR patients versus proficient MMR (pMMR) patients (81.4% versus 64.2%, P = 0.009), and overall survival (OS) (86.4% versus 69.1%, P = 0.004). Among the 82 patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy, the 5-year DFS was significantly higher in patients with dMMR (81.3%) than in patients with pMMR (49.7%, P = 0.040). In the multivariate models, dMMR was independently associated with improved DFS (HR = 2.171, 95% CI: 1.108 - 4.253, P = 0.024) and OS (HR = 2.521, 95% CI: 1.190 - 5.339, P = 0.016). In the predictive analysis, it was observed that the benefit of treatment significantly differed according to the DNA MMR status (P = 0.020). Compared with surgery alone, oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy improved the 5-year DFS (69.9% versus 56.2%, P = 0.024) among patients with pMMR in the multivariable analysis (HR = 0.794, 95% CI = 0.646 - 0.976, P = 0.029). In contrast, the oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in the group with dMMR had no benefit in DFS (83.1% versus 81.8%, HR 1.040, 95% CI: 0.276 - 3.922, P = 0.954). Patients with dMMR colon cancer are associated with improved survival rates, compared with pMMR colon cancer. MMR status is an independent prognostic biomarker for DFS in patients with high-risk stage II and stage III colon cancer. Oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy mainly benefits patients with pMMR, but may not benefit patients with tumors exhibiting dMMR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subsequent to the implementation of the universal salt iodisation policy, China has all but eliminated the iodine deficiency disorders. However, pregnant women are still experiencing mild iodine deficiency. The present study explored factors that could relate to mild iodine deficiency in pregnant women. METHODS In total, 2400 pregnant women were enrolled using a multistage, stratified, random sampling method in Shanghai. Data were collected via a standardised questionnaire. The urine samples and household cooking salt samples were collected for the detection of urinary iodine and salt iodine concentrations. RESULTS The median urinary iodine concentration (MUIC) was 148.0 μg L-1 for all participants, and 155.0 μg L-1 , 151.0 μg L-1 and 139.6 μg L-1 in the first, second and third trimesters. The MUIC in the third trimester was significantly lower than that of the first trimester (P < 0.05). The usage rates of iodised salt and qualified-iodised salt were 71.5% and 59.4%, respectively. Iodine-related knowledge score composition ratio was significantly different between the high and low UIC groups (P < 0.05). Participants' MUIC increased significantly with the increases in iodine-related knowledge score (P < 0.001). The third trimester was a significant risk factor for high UIC, whereas high iodine-related knowledge score, actively learning dietary knowledge and having a habit of consuming iodine-rich food were significant protective factors for high UIC (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Iodine level is adequate among pregnant women in Shanghai during the first and the second trimesters, although it is is insufficient in the third trimester. Good iodine-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviours are important for pregnant women with respect to maintaining adequate urinary iodine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs have been implicated to play a crucial regulating role in human cancers. The study aims to explore the role and clinical significance of miR-497 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PATIENTS AND METHODS The relative expression of miR-497 in human PDAC tissue samples and adjacent normal tissues was measured using the quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell Counting Kit (CCK-8) assay, cell migration, and invasion assays were performed to detect cell proliferation and invasion ability. Downstream target gene was confirmed by using luciferase activity assays. QRT-PCR and Western blotting assays also were performed. RESULTS We found that miR-497 expression was significantly downregulated in PDAC tissues and cells. Lower miR-497 expression associated with lymph node metastasis and predicts a poor prognosis in PDAC patients. In in vitro assay, we demonstrated that miR-497 overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of PDAC. Furthermore, we demonstrated that HMGA2 was a direct target of miR-497 in PDAC cells. MiR-497 inhibited cell proliferation and invasion by regulating HMGA2 expression. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that miR-497 may serve as a predictor for PDAC and could be a novel target of PDAC treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) is the only allergic disease-modifying therapy available for children and adults, and recombinant allergens are an interesting approach to improve allergy diagnosis and ASIT. Tyrophagus putrescentiae is a common storage mite that produces potent allergens. The aim of this study was to express and characterize recombinant group 4 allergen protein of T. putrescentiae (Tyr p 4), and to further investigate allergenicity and potential epitopes of Tyr p 4. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cDNA encoding Tyr p 4 was generated by RT-PCR and subcloned into pET-28a(+) plasmid. The plasmid was then transformed into E. coli cells for expression. After purification by nickel affinity chromatography and identification by SDS-PAGE, recombinant Tyr p 4 protein was used for a skin prick test and an ELISA to determine the allergic response. RESULTS Study participants' allergic response rate to Tyr p 4 protein was 13.3% (16/120). Eight B-cell epitopes and three T-cell epitopes of Tyr p 4 were predicted. CONCLUSIONS Similar to group 4 allergens of other species of mite, allergenicity of Tyr p 4 is weak. The expression, characterization and epitope prediction of recombinant Tyr p 4 protein provide a foundation for further study of this allergen in the diagnosis and ASIT of storage mite allergy.

Molecular networks of insulin signaling and amino acid metabolism in subcutaneous adipose tissue are altered by body condition in periparturient Holstein cows. J Dairy Sci 2020; 103:10459-10476.

Abstract
Peripartal cows mobilize not only body fat but also body protein to satisfy their energy requirements. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of prepartum BCS on blood biomarkers related to energy and nitrogen metabolism, and mRNA and protein abundance associated with AA metabolism and insulin signaling in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in peripartal cows. Twenty-two multiparous Holstein cows were retrospectively classified into a high BCS (HBCS; n = 11, BCS ≥ 3.5) or normal BCS (NBCS; n = 11, BCS ≤ 3.17) group at d 28 before expected parturition. Cows were fed the same diet as a total mixed ration before parturition and were fed the same lactation diet postpartum. Blood samples collected at -10, 7, 15, and 30 d relative to parturition were used for analyses of biomarkers associated with energy and nitrogen metabolism. Biopsies of SAT harvested at -15, 7, and 30 d relative to parturition were used for mRNA (real time-PCR) and protein abundance (Western blotting) assays. Data were subjected to ANOVA using the MIXED procedure of SAS (v. 9.4; SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC), with P ≤ 0.05 being the threshold for significance. Cows in HBCS had greater overall plasma nonesterified fatty acid concentrations, due to marked increases at 7 and 15 d postpartum. This response was similar (BCS × Day effect) to protein abundance of phosphorylated (p) protein kinase B (p-AKT), the insulin-induced glucose transporter (SLC2A4), and the sodium-coupled neutral AA transporter (SLC38A1). Abundance of these proteins was lower at -15 d compared with NBCS cows, and either increased (SLC2A4, SLC38A1) or did not change (p-AKT) at 7 d postpartum in HBCS. Unlike protein abundance, however, overall mRNA abundances of the high-affinity cationic (SLC7A1), proton-coupled (SLC36A1), and sodium-coupled amino acid transporters (SLC38A2) were greater in HBCS than NBCS cows, due to upregulation in the postpartum phase. Those responses were similar to protein abundance of p-mTOR, which increased (BCS × Day effect) at 7 d in HBCS compared with NBCS cows. mRNA abundance of argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) and arginase 1 (ARG1) also was greater overall in HBCS cows. Together, these responses suggested impaired insulin signaling, coupled with greater postpartum AA transport rate and urea cycle activity in SAT of HBCS cows. An in vitro study using adipocyte and macrophage cocultures stimulated with various concentrations of fatty acids could provide some insights into the role of immune cells in modulating adipose tissue immunometabolic status, including insulin resistance and AA metabolism.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of the severe or critically ill patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), and evaluate the impact of complicated myocardial injury on the prognosis of these patients. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 54 patients who admitted to Tongji hospital from February 3, 2020 to February 24, 2020 and met the criteria of severe or critical conditions of COVID-19. The clinical characteristics and hospital mortality rate were analyzed and compared between the patients with or without myocardial injury, which was defined with 3 times higher serum cardiac troponin value. Results: The age of the 54 patients was 68.0(59.8, 74.3) years. Among all the patients, 24 (44.4%) patients were complicated with hypertension, 13 (24.1%) with diabetes, 8 (14.8%) with coronary heart disease, and 3 (5.6%) with previous cerebral infarction. During hospitalization, 24 (44.4%) of the patients were complicated with myocardial injury and 26 (48.1%) patients died in hospital. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with myocardial injury than in patients without myocardial injury (14 (60.9%) vs. 8 (25.8%), P=0.013). Moreover, the levels of C-reactive protein (153.6 (80.3, 240.7) ng/L vs. 49.8 (15.9, 101.9) ng/L) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (852.0 (400.0, 2 315.3) ng/L vs. 197.0 (115.3, 631.0) ng/L) were significantly higher than patients without myocardial injury (all P<0.01). Conclusions: Prevalence of myocardial injury is high among severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients. Severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients with myocardial injury face a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality. The study suggests that it is important to monitor and manage the myocardial injury during hospitalization for severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Objective: Erosion healing in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is difficult to demonstrate. This extension study aimed to determine whether 2 years of teriparatide (TPTD) produces erosion healing. Method: Subjects in a previous 12 month randomized controlled trial of TPTD in RA were invited to receive 12 additional months of open-label TPTD. Eleven of the 24 original subjects were enrolled in the extension study, six of whom received TPTD in the final 12 months only. Subjects receiving 24 months of TPTD were assessed for reduction in erosion volume from baseline using computed tomography. We also compared erosion volumes between 12 and 24 months of TPTD. Large erosions in subjects receiving TPTD for 24 months were examined for volume change. Results: In the six patients who received 24 months of TPTD, there was no significant change in erosion volume at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints compared with baseline. The six subjects who received 24 months of TPTD had similar changes in erosion volume to the five who received 12 months of TPTD, in MCP (p = 0.17) and PIP (p = 0.63) joints. Assessment of large erosions in those receiving TPTD for 24 months showed no evidence of erosion healing. Conclusion: While this extension study was too small to be conclusive, we observed no evidence of reduction in erosion volume with the addition of TPTD for 24 months in subjects with RA in whom disease activity was controlled on a tumour necrosis factor inhibitor. This is consistent with our negative findings at 12 months.

Abstract
Ruminiclostridium papyrosolvens is a promising candidate for producing renewable green chemicals from cellulose due to its cellulolytic and ethanologenic capabilities. It is of significance to screen effective, and convenient-to-use inducible promoters that can be used for regulating the gene expression in R. papyrosolvens. We characterized two endogenous inducible promoters and investigated another two exogenous ones on the adaptability in R. papyrosolvens. Both of the endogenous xylan-inducible promoter Pxyl and exogenous lactose-inducible promoter Plac are found of high specificity and stringency. Pxyl has a short time to be induced while Plac has a low concentration of inducer. With these findings, a mazF-based counter selectable system has been constructed for promoting the efficiency of mutant screening via plasmid curing. The inducible gene expression systems provided novel tools for enhancing the capability of genetic manipulation in engineering R. papyrosolvens. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Four inducible promoters from Clostridia were characterized in R. papyrosolvens. Xylan-inducible promoter Pxyl was found of a short time while lactose-inducible promoter Plac needs a low concentration of inducer to induce. Employing them, we successfully construct a mazF-based counter selectable system, which would be used to increase the mutant screening efficiency via induction of plasmid curing. The inducible gene expression systems provided novel tools for enhancing the capability of genetic manipulation in engineering R. papyrosolvens.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug-resistant gene polymorphisms in Plasmodium falciparum imported from Equatorial Guinea to Shandong Province. METHODS From 2015 to 2016, blood samples were collected from imported P. falciparum malaria patients returning from Equatorial Guinea to Shandong Province, and genome DNA of the malaria parasite was extracted. The drug-resistant Pfcrt, Pfmdr1, Pfdhfr, Pfdhps, and K13 genes of P. falciparum were amplified using a PCR assay, followed by DNA sequencing, and the sequences were aligned. RESULTS The target fragments of all 5 drug-resistant genes of P. falciparum were successfully amplified and sequenced. There were 72.8%, 18.6%, and 8.6% of P. falciparum parasites carrying the wild-, mutant-, and mixed-type Pfcrt gene, respectively, and all mutant haplotypes were CVIET (the underline indicates the mutation site). There were 20.0%, 61.4% and 18.6% of P. falciparum parasites carrying the wild-, mutant-, and mixed-type Pfmdr1 gene, respectively, and the mutant haplotypes mainly included YF and NF (the underlines indicate the mutation sites). There were 1.4%, 98.6%, and 0 of P. falciparum parasites carrying the wild-, mutant-, and mixed-type Pfdhfr gene, respectively, and AIRNI was the predominant mutant haplotype (the underline indicates the mutation site). There were 1.4%, 94.3%, and 4.3% of P. falciparum parasites carrying the wild-, mutant-, and mixed-type Pfdhps gene, respectively, and SGKAA was the predominant mutant haplotype (the underline indicates the mutation site). The complete drug-resistant IRNGE genotype consisted of 8.6% of the Pfdhfr and Pfdhps genes, and the K13 gene A578S mutation occurred in 1.4% of the parasite samples. CONCLUSIONS There are mutations in the Pfcrt, Pfmdr1, Pfdhfr, Pfdhps, and K13 genes of P. falciparum imported from Equatorial Guinea to Shandong Province, with a low frequency in the Pfcrt gene mutation and a high frequency in the Pfmdr1, Pfdhfr, and Pfdhps gene mutations, and the K13 gene A578S mutation is detected in the parasite samples.

Abstract
Objectives Since December 2019, the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that emerged in Wuhan city has spread rapidly around the world. The risk for poor outcome dramatically increases once a patient progresses to the severe or critical stage. The present study aims to investigate the risk factors for disease progression in individuals with mild to moderate COVID-19. Methods We conducted a cohort study that included 1007 individuals with mild to moderate COVID-19 from three hospitals in Wuhan. Clinical characteristics and baseline laboratory findings were collected. Patients were followed up for 28 days for observation of disease progression. The end point was the progression to a more severe disease stage. Results During a follow up of 28 days, 720 patients (71.50%) had recovered or were symptomatically stable, 222 patients (22.05%) had progressed to severe disease, 22 patients (2.18%) had progressed to the critically ill stage and 43 patients (4.27%) had died. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models identified that increased age (hazard ratio (HR) 2.56, 95% CI 1.97–3.33), male sex (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.41–2.28), presence of hypertension (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.11–1.88), diabetes (HR 1.82, 95% CI 1.35–2.44), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.38–2.93) and coronary artery disease (HR 1.83, 95% CI 1.26–2.66) were risk factors for disease progression. History of smoking was protective against disease progression (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34–0.91). Elevated procalcitonin (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.02–2.90), urea nitrogen (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.21–2.43), α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HR 3.02, 95% CI 1.26–7.21) and D-dimer (HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.12–3.58) at baseline were also associated with risk for disease progression. Conclusions This study identified a panel of risk factors for disease progression in individuals with mild to moderate COVID-19.

Abstract
Objective To predict fetal growth restriction (FGR) by whole‐genome promoter profiling of maternal plasma. Design Nested case–control study. Setting Hospital‐based. Population or Sample 810 pregnancies: 162 FGR cases and 648 controls. Methods We identified gene promoters with a nucleosome footprint that differed between FGR cases and controls based on maternal plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) nucleosome profiling. Optimal classifiers were developed using support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) models. Main outcome measures Genes with differential coverages in promoter regions through the low‐coverage whole‐genome sequencing data analysis among FGR cases and controls. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis (area under the curve [AUC], accuracy, sensitivity and specificity) was used to evaluate the performance of classifiers. Results Through the low‐coverage whole‐genome sequencing data analysis of FGR cases and controls, genes with significantly differential DNA coverage at promoter regions (−1000 to +1000 bp of transcription start sites) were identified. The non‐invasive ‘FGR classifier 1’ (CFGR1) had the highest classification performance (AUC, 0.803; 95% CI 0.767–0.839; accuracy, 83.2%) was developed based on 14 genes with differential promoter coverage using a support vector machine. Conclusions A promising FGR prediction method was successfully developed for assessing the risk of FGR at an early gestational age based on maternal plasma cfDNA nucleosome profiling. Tweetable abstract A promising FGR prediction method was successfully developed, based on maternal plasma cfDNA nucleosome profiling. A promising FGR prediction method was successfully developed, based on maternal plasma cfDNA nucleosome profiling.

Abstract
Background:Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a highly reactive compound produced by lipid-peroxidation in situations associated with oxidative stress. MDA can irreversibly modify proteins residues such as lysine, arginine and histidine. In addition, MDA adducts can further react with acetaldehyde to generate malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) modifications. Such modifications can give rise to immunogenic neo-epitopes that are recognized by autoantibodies. In fact, anti-MDA/MAA IgG antibodies are significantly increased in the serum of patients with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1) and systemic lupus erythematosus (2). Recently, we have shown that anti-MDA/MAA IgG antibodies are able to promote osteoclast (OC) differentiationin vitro(1).Objectives:To investigate the molecular mechanisms triggered by anti-MDA/MAA autoantibodies during osteoclastogenesis.Methods:OCs were generated from monocyte-derived macrophages in the presence of the cytokines RANK-L and M-CSF. The development of OCs was monitored by light microscopy following tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and erosion area on synthetic calcium phosphate-coated plates. Three different recombinant human monoclonal anti-MDA/MAA antibodies, cloned from single synovial B cells of RA patients, control antibodies and Fab fragments of the antibodies were added to OC cultures. Glycolysis was inhibited by 2-deoxyglucose, and Fc-gamma receptor I or II by anti-CD64 or anti-CD16 neutralizing antibodies. IL-8 levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Cellular metabolism was monitored using Seahorse XF Analyzer (extracellular acidification rate and oxygen consumption) and a colorimetric L-Lactate assay.Results:Lactic acid production correlated with the osteoclastogenetic effect of some but not all anti-MDA/MAA antibodies on OCs (R=0.4758, p=0.0252) suggesting an antibody-mediated regulation of glycolysis. Further, extracellular acidification (ECAR) and oxygen consumption (OCR) rate of the developing OCs were increased by the osteoclastogenic anti-MDA/MAA clones (maximum increase of 54% for the ECAR and 78% for the OCR by clone 146+:01G07, and maximum increase of 28% for the ECAR and 39% for the OCR by clone 1103:01H05), but not by the non-osteoclastogenetic anti-MDA/MAA clones or control antibodies. The glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose completely abolished the osteoclastogenetic effect of the anti-MDA/MAA clones at drug concentrations that did not influenced baseline OC development. Fab2 fragments of the osteocalstogenetic anti-MDA/MAA clones had no effect on OC development and metabolism. In accordance with this, Fc-gamma receptor I neutralizing antibodies completely abolished the osteocalstogenetic effect of the anti-MDA/MAA clones. The osteoclastogenetic effect of the anti-MDA/MAA antibodies was independent of IL-8 production. In contrast to anti MDA/MAA antibodies, ACPA-mediated osteoclastogenesis was independent of glycolysis and Fc-gamma receptors but dependent on IL-8.Conclusion:Our results describe a novel glycolysis-dependent mechanism by which anti-MDA/MAA antibodies promote osteoclast development that is different from the one previously described for ACPA.References:[1] C.

Abstract
Background:Both diabetes mellitus (DM) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are prevalent diseases and represent the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide. Systemic chronic inflammation is recognized as the underlying etiology of a variety of diseases, including DM and RA [1]. Additionally, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal complications from DM may influence the outcomes of RA patients.Objectives:To investigate the impact of DM on outcomes of RA patients.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study including 583 RA patients with 5 years’ history after diagnosis in Tan Tock Seng Hospital RA registry, Singapore from 2001 to 2013. Information related to demographics, serologies, clinical features, comorbidities, and outcomes was collected. Independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare continuous quantitative data, while Pearson Chi-square or Fisher Exact test for categorical data. With adjustment for age, gender, ethnicity, smoking and comorbidities, multivariate regressions were performed to analyze the impact of DM on outcomes of RA patients.Results:DM is more prevalent in Malay and Indian patients than Chinese patients with RA (26%, 24% and 11% respectively,p= 0.005). There is no difference of disease activity between DM and non DM patients. There is a tendency that non diabetic RA patients use more methotrexate (p= 0.052) and leflunomide (p= 0.058). Diabetic RA patients are in higher risk of poor American College of Rheumatology (ACR) functional status (p= 0.009), knee arthroplasty (p< 0.001) and admissions (p= 0.006). Adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, smoking and comorbidities, multivariate regression analyses showed a trend of poor function status for diabetic RA patients, i.e. ACR functional status (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.802, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.968 – 3.353,p= 0.063) and median Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) (β coefficient value: 0.129, 95% CI: -0.010 – 0.267,p= 0.068), and higher risk for knee arthroplasty for diabetic RA patients (aOR: 3.480, 95% CI: 1.016 – 11.920,p= 0.047).Conclusion:This is the first report on the impact of DM on RA outcomes in a long term follow-up RA registry in a multiethnic Asian society.References:[1]Furman, D., Campisi, J., Verdin, E.et al.Chronic inflammation in the etiology of disease across the life span.Nat Med25,1822–1832 (2019).Acknowledgments:TTSH Rheumatoid Arthritis Study GroupDisclosure of Interests:None declared
