Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the mental status of pregnant women and to determine their obstetric decisions during the COVID-19 outbreak. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Two cities in China--Wuhan (epicentre) and Chongqing (a less affected city). POPULATION A total of 1947 pregnant women. METHODS We collected demographic, pregnancy and epidemic information from our pregnant subjects, along with their attitudes towards COVID-19 (using a self-constructed five-point scale). The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was used to assess anxiety status. Obstetric decision-making was also evaluated. The differences between cities in all of the above factors were compared and the factors that influenced anxiety levels were identified by multivariable analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Anxiety status and its influencing factors. Obstetric decision-making. RESULTS Differences were observed between cities in some background characteristics and women's attitudes towards COVID-19 in Wuhan were more extreme. More women in Wuhan felt anxious (24.5 versus 10.4%). Factors that influenced anxiety also included household income, subjective symptom and attitudes. Overall, obstetric decisions also revealed city-based differences; these decisions mainly concerned hospital preference, time of prenatal care or delivery, mode of delivery and infant feeding. CONCLUSIONS The outbreak aggravated prenatal anxiety and the associated factors could be targets for psychological care. In parallel, key obstetric decision-making changed, emphasising the need for pertinent professional advice. Special support is essential for pregnant mothers during epidemics. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT The COVID-19 outbreak increased pregnant women's anxiety and affected their decision-making.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The meta-analysis aims to compare the diagnostic performance of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and skeletal scintigraphy (SS) for the detection of skeletal metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched Medline, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane library databases for identifying fifteen eligible studies with a total of 1939 participants, and the quality of these studies was assessed according to Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) guidelines. Sensitivities, specificities, diagnostic odds ratios (DOR), positive likelihood ratios (PLR), and negative likelihood ratios (NLR) were calculated. Summary receiver operating characteristic curves (sROC) were generated using bivariate models for whole-body MRI and skeletal scintigraphy. RESULTS Whole-body MRI had higher but comparable patient-based higher specificity compared to SS (99% vs. 95%). However, it had markedly higher sensitivity (94% vs. 80% respectively), DOR (966 vs. 82), and LPR (54.4 vs 17.1). LNR of whole-body MRI was <0.1 (0.06), while LNR of SS was >0.1 (0.22). The area under curves (AUC) for whole-body MRI and SS were 0.99 and 0.95 respectively. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that both whole-body MRI and SS have good diagnostic performance. However, MRI is superior for diagnostics of bone metastases, as it has higher sensitivity, higher diagnostic accuracy, and can be used for both confirmation and exclusion of metastatic bone disease.

Abstract
Radiation resistance is the most common challenge for improving radiotherapy. The mechanisms underlying the development of radioresistance remain poorly understood. This study aims to explore the role of LINC00460 in ionizing radiation-induced radioresistance as well as the mechanisms by which LINC00460 is regulated by radiation exposure. The expression of LINC00460 was measured. Cell proliferation and colony formation were measured in HCT116 cells after treatment by radiation. The development of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was determined with or without knockdown LINC00460 expression using western blot analysis. Transcription activity was determined using a series of LINC00460-promoter luciferase reporter gene vectors. LINC00460 expression was significantly higher in HCT116 cells, relative to other cell types, with LINC00460 expression significantly affecting HCT116 cell proliferation. Suppression of LINC00460 inhibits EMT development in HCT116 cells via regulation of ZEB1 expression. Furthermore, LINC00460 expression was induced by irradiation via the activation of c-jun transcription factor-binding element located on the LINC00460 promoter. LINC00460 was shown to play a crucial role in EMT-associated progression of colorectal cancer, indicating that LINC00460 may be an indicator or new potential therapeutic target for colorectal cancer radiosensitization.

Abstract
1. The potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily J member 11 gene (KCNJ11) is involved in the insulin secretion pathway. Studies have shown that mutation in this gene is associated with muscle weakness. The objective of the present study was to establish the association between KCNJ11 gene polymorphism and chicken growth performance and to analyse its expression pattern. 2. A novel 163-bp insertion/deletion (indel) polymorphism was identified in the region downstream of the KCNJ11 gene in 2330 individuals from ten populations by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). An F2 resource population was used to investigate the genetic effects of the chicken KCNJ11 gene. Association analysis showed that the indel was significantly associated with chicken growth traits and that the phenotypic value of the ins-ins (II) genotype is higher than that of the ins-del (ID) and del-del (DD) genotypes. 3. Gene expression for different genotypes showed that birds carrying the II allele had a higher expression level than the DD genotypes. Analysis of tissue and spatiotemporal expression patterns indicated that the KCNJ11 gene was highly expressed in muscle tissues, with the highest levels in muscle tissue at one week of age, and that a 10% crude protein diet reduced the expression of this gene, average daily gain and muscle fibre diameter. 4. The results suggested that this novel 163-bp indel has the potential to become a new target for marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the prevalence and associated factors of sarcopenia defined by the revised European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) criteria with the initial European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP1) criteria, the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS), the International Working Group on Sarcopenia (IWGS), and the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) Sarcopenia Project criteria among Chinese community-dwelling older adults. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Two community health centers in Urumqi, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 483 participants aged 60 years and older from the community. MEASUREMENT Anthropometry, skeletal muscle mass, handgrip strength, 4-m walking speed, and biochemical markers. Questionnaire collected information included demographics, lifestyle, and quality of life. RESULTS The prevalence of EWGSOP2-defined sarcopenia (men: 6.5%; women: 3.3%) was lower than that defined by the EWGSOP1 (men: 22.3%; women 11.7%), AWGS (men: 10.9%; women: 8.0%), and IWGS (men: 24.5%; women: 11.0%) criteria, but higher than FNIH criteria (men: 6.0%; women: 1.7%). The positive percent agreement was lower (men: 15.6%-63.6%; women: 15.2%-40.0%), while negative percent agreement was higher (men: 96.4%-100.0%; women: 97.3%-99.6%). Sex (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.12-0.81), education level (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.29-0.83), and body mass index (BMI, OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.62-0.86) were associated with sarcopenia defined by the EWGSOP2 criteria. No consistent pattern of risk factors associated with sarcopenia in EWGSOP2 and four other diagnostic criteria was present. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The EWGSOP2 criteria did not agree with the EWGSOP1, AWGS, IWGA, and FNIH criteria defining sarcopenia. Risk factors associated with the EWGSOP2-defined sarcopenia have no consistent patterns with the EWGSOP1, AWGS, IWGA, and FNIH criteria. Therefore, the validity of the EWGSOP2 consensus needs to be confirmed in further prospective studies.

Abstract
1. Prolactin hormone (governed by the PRL gene) is secreted by the anterior pituitary of animals, which combines with its receptor (prolactin receptor, PRLR) to act on target cells. Both PRL and PRLR are mainly associated with reproductive performance. The genetic mechanism of nesting in poultry is not yet clear, and so the aim of the current study was to determine expression patterns of PRL and PRLR at different times across the breeding stages of black Muscovy ducks.2. In this study, the CDS regions of PRL and PRLR were determined by RACE sequencing. The expression levels of PRL and PRLR in the pituitary, ovary and uterus from the black Muscovy duck were compared and analysed during the pre-laying, laying and nesting periods.3. The results showed that PRL and PRLR are highly homologous in a variety of poultry species. The expression of the PRL gene in the pituitary was the highest, which was significantly higher than seen in the ovary and uterus. This trend ran through the entire prenatal period, i.e. the laying period and the nesting period. The expression level of the PRLR gene in the pituitary and ovary was generally low, and expression in the uterus was the highest. There was no significant difference in expression of the PRLR gene between pituitary and ovary during different periods, but the expression level of the PRLR gene in the uterus reached its highest level during the nesting stage, which was significantly higher than seen in the early laying period.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the experience and effectivity of brain protection in 25 patients who suffered from chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and received pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 25 PTE surgeries in our center from December 2016 to August 2018. All cases were completed underdeep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Standard brain protections were strictly executed, including: balanced and controlled extracorporeal circulation cooling, cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) monitoring, strictly control of circulatory arrest time, and etc. The neurological adverse events during the perioperative period were recorded and statistically analyzed, and the intelligence level and cognitive function of the patients were evaluated by MMSE scale and MoCA scale before surgery and discharge. Results: All the 25 patients successfully completed the surgery, and 1 patient (4%) died of postoperative infection. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased from (52.9±16.7) mmHg before surgery to (23.6±8.1) mmHg immediately after surgery (t=10.01, P<0.01), and(20.7±7.9) mmHg at 3 months follow-up (t=10.73, P<0.01). Pulmonary vascular resistance decreased from 975.4 (788.6-1 292.8) dyn·s·cm(-5) to 376.1 (283.6-565.5) dyn·s·cm(-5) (Z=5.34, P<0.01). Neurological complications occurred in 3 patients during the perioperative period, including 2 patients with hypoxic encephalopathy, and 1 patient with cerebral hemorrhage. All 3 patients fully recovered before discharge. Univariate analysis showed that the duration of rSO(2)<40% and the maximum decrease rate of rSO(2) from baseline were significantly correlated with postoperative neurological damage. Multivariate analysis showed only time of rSO(2)<40% was significantly correlated with postoperative neurological damage. There was no significant difference in MMSE and MoCA score before and after surgery (P>0.05). Conclusions: Adequate brain protection measures are essential to reduce the neurological complications of PTE surgery. Real-time intraoperative monitoring of rSO(2) and strict control of circulatory arrest time can further reduce the occurrence of neurological damage.

Abstract
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a unique subtype of chronic pancreatitis, which shares many clinical presentations with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). The misdiagnosis of AIP often leads to unnecessary pancreatic resection. 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT) could provide comprehensive information on the morphology, density, and functional metabolism of the pancreas at the same time. It has been proved to be a promising modality for noninvasive differentiation between AIP and PDA. However, there is a lack of clinical analysis of PET/CT image texture features. Difficulty still remains in differentiating AIP and PDA based on commonly used diagnostic methods. Therefore, this paper studied the differentiation of AIP and PDA based on multi-modality texture features. We utilized multiple feature extraction algorithms to extract the texture features from CT and PET images at first. Then, the Fisher criterion and sequence forward floating selection algorithm (SFFS) combined with support vector machine (SVM) was employed to select the optimal multi-modality feature subset. Finally, the SVM classifier was used to differentiate AIP from PDA. The results prove that texture analysis of lesions helps to achieve accurate differentiation of AIP and PDA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To perform a radiomics analysis with comparisons of multidomain features and a variety of feature selection strategies and classifiers, with the goal of evaluating the value of quantified radiomics method for noninvasively differentiating autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in 18 F-fluorodeoxglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F FDG PET/CT) images. METHODS We extracted 251 expert-designed features from 2D and 3D PET/CT images of 111 patients, and recombined these features into five feature sets according to their modalities and dimensions. Among the five feature sets, the optimal one was found leveraging four feature selection strategies and four machine learning classifiers based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The feature selection strategies include spearman's rank correlation coefficient, minimum redundancy maximum relevance, support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE), and no feature selection, while the classifiers are random forest, adaptive boosting, support vector machine (SVM) with the Gaussian radial basis function, and SVM with the linear kernel function respectively. Based on the optimal feature set, these feature selection strategies and classifiers were comparatively studied to achieve the best differentiation. Finally, the quantified radiomics prediction model was developed based on the best combination of the feature selection strategy and classifier, and it was compared with two clinical factors based prediction models, and human doctors using nested cross-validation in terms of AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. RESULTS Comparison experiments demonstrated that CT features and three-dimensional (3D) features performed better than positron emission tomography (PET) features and three-dimensional (2D) features respectively, and multidomain features were superior to single domain features. In addition, the combination of SVM-RFE feature selection strategy and Linear SVM classifier had the highest diagnostic performance (i.e., AUC = 0.93 ± 0.01, ACC = 0.85 ± 0.02, SEN = 0.86 ± 0.03, SPE = 0.84 ± 0.03). The quantified radiomics model developed is significantly superior to both human doctors and clinical factors based prediction models in terms of accuracy and specificity. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary results confirmed that the quantified radiomics method could aid the noninvasive differentiation of AIP and PDAC in 18 F FDG PET/CT images and the integration of multidomain features is beneficial for the differentiation.

Abstract
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a newly recognized but rare entity involving multiple organs, with autoimmune pancreatitis, retroperitoneal mass, and the inflammation of glands being typical in most cases. IgG4-related perivascular lesions, although uncommon, have been increasingly reported in recent years. Diagnosis of IgG4-RD relies on comprehensive consideration of characteristic histopathological and immunostaining results, clinical and imaging findings, and serological results according to several widely recognized diagnostic criteria. This benign disorder frequently presenting tumefactive lesions should be distinguished from malignancy and other inflammatory mimics. Here we report a case of tumefactive mass at the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk causing stenosis of the proximal left and right pulmonary artery (PA) and resultant pulmonary hypertension (PH). Bypass from the PA trunk to the right branch distal to stenosis was performed to resolve the obstructive hemodynamic disturbance and PH. Glucocorticoid monotherapy was performed after a diagnosis of definite IgG4-RD. Longitudinal disease activity assessment via imaging modalities, serological parameters, and IgG4-RD responder index verified no relapse during follow-up and the validity of the treatment strategy.
