Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha-inducible protein 8 like-2 (TIPE2) and tissue factor (TF) in patients with bronchial asthma. And to explore the regulation of TIPE2 on TF. Methods: Sixty-five asthmatic patients and 40 healthy controls were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July to November, 2017. The expression of TIPE2 and TF in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of asthmatic patients and healthy controls were detected by Western blot.The level of TF protein in plasma was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The changes of TIPE2 and TF mRNA expression in THP-1 cells stimulated by house dust mite extract were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR). The recombinant adenovirus Adv-TIPE2 was constructed and transfected into THP-1 cells and the effect of over-expression TIPE2 on TF expression in THP-1 cells was detected by RT-PCR. Results: The relative level of TIPE2 protein in asthmatic patients and healthy controls was 0.025±0.010 and 0.087±0.070, while that of TF was 0.40±0.27 and 0.15±0.10, respectively. Compared with healthy controls, the levels of TIPE2 protein decreased and TF protein increased in asthmatic patients, the differences were statistically significant (t=-5.06, 9.04, P<0.05) . TIPE2 protein level was negatively correlated with TF protein level (r=-0.460 3, P<0.05). The house dust mite extract reduced the expression level of TIPE2 mRNA in THP-1 cells, but increased the level of TF mRNA expression. When the concentration was 1 μg/ml, the change of TIPE2 mRNA was the most obvious at 4 h (P<0.05). The recombinant adenovirus Adv-TIPE2 was successfully constructed. The level of TF mRNA expression in THP-1 cells over-expressing TIPE2 gene was reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion: TIPE2, a negative regulator of inflammation, has a negative control effect on TF, and may be involved in the hyper-coagulable state of bronchial asthma by regulating TF expression.

Abstract
A 3-year-old boy presented with multiple lesions of tinea corporis with dermatophytids, and subsequent inflammatory lesions with alopecia on the scalp. At the beginning, topical clobetasone butyrate was prescribed. The infection was diagnosed as dermatophytosis on the basis of positive direct microscopy and fungal culture. The etiological agent was isolated from all sampled sites and identified as Trichophyton verrucosum. Clonal nature of the infection was confirmed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. The child lived in close vicinity of cattle. He was successfully treated with itraconazole.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the associations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) with physical frailty status as well as each domain of frailty in a general elderly population. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of prospective cohort study. SETTING All of 31 communities in Jiang'an township. PARTICIPANTS Overall 1338 participants (aged 70-89 years, mean 77.42±4.08 years) without a history of cardiovascular diseases in the third-wave of the aging arm of the Rugao Longevity and Aging Study (RuLAS). MEASUREMENTS Frailty was defined as the presence of ≥3 domains among five modified Fried's criteria (unintentional weight loss, low physical activity level, weakness (low grip strength), exhaustion, and slowness (slow gait speed)) and pre-frailty as the presence of 1-2 domains. RESULTS The prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty was 10.4% and 53.3%, respectively, in this elderly population. Elevated BNP (≥100 pg/mL) was significantly associated with pre-frailty (OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.13-2.29) and frailty (OR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.61-4.32) after adjustment for covariates. In addition, elevated BNP was associated with low grip strength (OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.41-2.82) and low gait speed (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.15-2.28) after adjustment for multiple covariates. Log BNP was inversely associated with grip strength (r= -0.265, p<0.001) and gait speed (r= -0.189, p<0.001). CONCLUSION Elevated plasma BNP was associated with increased risks of frailty, pre-frailty, and low levels of grip strength and gait speed in the elderly community people.

Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the formation of salt aggregations with unexpectedly high concentration inside multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) soaked only in dilute salt solution sand even in solutions containing only traces of salts. This finding suggests the blocking of fluid across CNTs by the salt aggregations when CNTs are soaked in a dilute salt solution with the concentration of seawater or even lower, which may open new avenues for the development of novel CNT-based desalination techniques. The high salt accumulation of CNTs also provides a new CNT-based strategy for the collection or extraction of noble metal salts in solutions containing traces of noble metal salts. Theoretical analyses reveal that this high salt accumulation inside CNTs can be mainly attributed to the strong hydrated cation-π interactions of hydrated cations and π electrons in the aromatic rings of CNTs.

Abstract
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) develops as a result of erythroid precursors failing to reach maturity in the bone marrow, which eventually leads to anemia. Here we present a case of a 64-year-old Asian male with a medical history of colorectal adenocarcinoma who had been treated with 6 cycles of oxaliplatin and capecitabine four years ago. The patient was diagnosed with PRCA and T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia.

Abstract
Liver biopsy is not routinely performed in treated chronic hepatitis B. Liver stiffness measurement has been validated for noninvasive liver fibrosis assessment in pretreatment chronic hepatitis B but has not been assessed for fibrosis monitoring during antiviral therapy. Liver stiffness was systemically monitored by Fibroscan® every 6 months in a cohort of patients with hepatitis B receiving antiviral therapy and compared with liver biopsies at baseline and week 104. A total of 534 hepatitis B e antigen-positive treatment-naive patients receiving telbivudine-based therapy with qualified liver stiffness measurement at baseline and week 104 were analyzed, 164 of which had adequate paired liver biopsies. Liver stiffness decreased rapidly (-2.2 kPa/24 weeks) in parallel with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) from 8.6 (2.6-49.5) kPa at baseline to 6.1 (2.2-37.4) kPa at week 24. Interestingly, liver stiffness decreased slowly (-0.3 kPa/24 weeks) but continually from week 24 to week 104 (6.1 vs 5.3 kPa, P < .001) while ALT levels remained stable within the normal range. More importantly, liver stiffness declined significantly irrespective of baseline ALT levels and liver necroinflammation grades. From baseline to week 104, the proportion of patients with no or mild fibrosis (Ishak, 0-2) increased from 74.4% (122/164) to 93.9% (154/164). Multivariate analysis revealed that percentage decline of 52-week liver stiffness from baseline was independently associated with 104-week liver fibrosis regression (odds ratio, 3.742; P = .016). Early decline of 52-week liver stiffness from baseline may reflect the remission of both liver inflammation and fibrosis and was predictive of 104-week fibrosis regression in treated patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the mechanism by which di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) exposure influences lipid metabolism of juvenile yellow catfish Tachysurus fulvidraco. Fish were exposed to three DEHP concentrations (0, 0·1 and 0·5 mg l-1 DEHP) for 8 weeks. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity significantly decreased with increasing DEHP concentrations, the highest value was in the Tween control group, whereas the lowest activities of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were in this group. The messenger (m)RNA levels of 6-phospho-gluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), FAS and acetyl-CoA carboxylase a (ACCa) significantly increased with increasing DEHP concentration, the highest values were in the 0·5 mg l-1 DEHP group. The mRNA level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) was lower in Tween control than in fish exposed to 0·1 and 0·5 mg l-1 DEHP. The highest mRNA level of ACCb was in the 0·1 mg l-1 DEHP group. These results indicate that DEHP exposure can disturb lipid metabolism at the enzymatic and mRNA levels in Pelteobagrus fulvidraco.

Abstract
Zeolites with molecular dimension pores are widely used in petrochemical and fine-chemical industries. While traditional solvothermal syntheses suffer from environmental, safety, and efficiency issues, the newly developed solvent-free synthesis is limited by zeolite crystal aggregation. Herein, we report well-dispersed and faceted silicalite ZSM-5 zeolite crystals obtained using a solvent-free synthesis facilitated by graphene oxide (GO). The selective interactions between the GO sheets and different facets, which are confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations, result in oriented growth of the ZSM-5 crystals along the c-axis. More importantly, the incorporation of GO sheets into the ZSM-5 crystals leads to the formation of mesopores. Consequently, the faceted ZSM-5 crystals exhibit hierarchical pore structures. This synthetic method is superior to conventional approaches because of the features of the ZSM-5 zeolite.

Abstract
A novel antioxidant, butylated caffeic acid (BCA) was rationally designed by adding a tert-butyl group to caffeic acid, which was synthesized at a high yield (36.2%) from 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol by a four-step reaction including Friedel-Crafts alkylation, bromine oxidation, ether bond hydrolysis and Knoevenagel condensation. Its antioxidant capacity was much stronger than common commercial antioxidant tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) and its mother compound, caffeic acid, in both rancimat and deep frying tests. When investigated via the DPPH method, the antioxidant capacity of BCA was almost equal to TBHQ, but lower than caffeic acid. BCA could be a potentially strong antioxidant, especially for food processing at high temperatures such as deep frying and baking.

Abstract
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a vision-threatening disease and is treated by either scleral buckling or pars planar vitrectomy. Rapid absorption of the subretinal fluid (SRF) helps in the early recovery of the vision. The absorption of SRF after the scleral buckling procedure is rapid, provided that the retinal break or breaks are closed at or after surgery. However, in some patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, complete absorption of the SRF occur several weeks or months after the surgery. In this review, we discuss the factors influencing the rate of SRF absorption and the role of delayed absorption on visual recovery. We also discuss the therapeutic options for delayed SRF absorption and the available additional therapeutic options. Knowledge of the factors that influence the rate of SRF absorption, would enable the surgeon to predict the outcomes more accurately.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanoporous membranes, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene/graphene oxide and graphyne, have shown great potential in water desalination and purification, gas and ion separation, biosensors, and lithium-based batteries, etc. A deep understanding of the interaction between hydrated ions in an aqueous solution and the graphitic surface in systems composed of water, ions and a graphitic surface is essential for applications with carbon-based nanoporous membrane platforms. In this review, we describe the recent progress of the interaction between hydrated ions and aromatic ring structures on the carbon-based surface and its applications in the water flow in a carbon nanotube. We expect that these works can be extended to the understanding of water flow in other nanoporous membranes, such as nanoporous graphene, graphyne and stacked sheets of graphene oxide.

Abstract
Abstract
Epidemiological studies have indicated that alcohol consumption is an established risk factor for breast cancer. The association of alcohol consumption and breast cancer is more pronounced in ER+ cases than in ER- cases. However, this molecular mechanism remains to be determined. Deregulation of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcription enhances cellular tRNAs and 5S rRNA production, increasing translational capacity to promote cell transformation and tumor formation. Our results reveal that alcohol increases Pol III gene transcription in both normal and cancer breast cell lines. The induction of Pol III genes by alcohol in ER+ breast cancer cells is significantly higher than in ER- normal breast cells and ER- breast cancer cells. E2 causes slight increase in Pol III gene transcription. The addition of ethanol to this system produces a marked increase. Alcohol increases ERa expression to enhance the cellular levels of Brf1 protein and mRNA. In addition, ethanol markedly stimulates phosphorylation of JNK1. Inhibition of JNK1 decreases ERE-Luc reporter activity and represses expression of ERa, Brf1 and Pol III genes. Reduction of ERa by its siRNA represses Brf1 and Pol III gene transcription. Ethanol with E2 produces larger and more numerous colonies. Repression of ERa or Brf1 inhibits alcohol-induced cell transformation. More interestingly, human biopsies studies show that Brf1 expression is significantly increased in nuclei of breast cancer cells, compared to tissue adjacent to the carcinoma. Together, these results support the idea that alcohol increases ERa expression through JNK1 pathway to elevate Brf1 expression and Pol III gene transcription, leading to greater phenotypic changes. ERa mediates Pol III gene transcription through Brf1, suggesting that ERa play a critical role in alcohol-induced deregulation of Pol III genes in ER+ breast cancer development.
