Abstract
Objective: To compare the perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) across three different techniques: computer-assisted navigation surgery (CAS), patient specific instrumentation (PSI) and conventional instrumentation (CI). Methods: Ninety consecutive patients with severe knee osteoarthritis who underwent unilateral primary TKA in Peking University Third Hospital Orthopedics Department from January 2018 to December 2018 were enrolled in this prospective study. The patients were randomly divided into three groups (30 case in each group): CAS-TKA group, PSI-TKA group and CI-TKA group. The study measured intraoperative blood loss, total blood loss, hidden blood loss, decreases of hemoglobin and hematocrit, and the post-TKA blood transfusions in the three groups. One-way ANOVA was used to detect the differences among the cohorts, and LSD was used for the post-hoc test. Results: The overall intraoperative blood loss of all patients was 6 ml (5~8 ml). The mean total blood loss and hidden blood loss in CAS-TKA group, PSI-TKA group and CI-TKA group was (1 147.0±301.8) and (1 140.1±301.9)ml, (1 044.3±454.1) and (1 038.5±454.0)ml, (1 154.0±483.6) and (1 145.3±482.7)ml, respectively; there was no significant differences among the three groups (F=0.639, 0.616, both P>0.05). There were no patients who received allogeneic blood transfusion. There were no significant differences in decrease of hemoglobin and hematocrit among the three groups neither (both P>0.05). Conclusions: Compared with conventional TKA, CAS and PSI does not increase the total blood loss of TKA. However, they both demonstrate a potential benefit in reducing blood loss of TKA.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of thoracoscopy-guided thoracic paravertebral block for analgesia after single-port video-assisted pulmonary lobectomy. Methods: From December 2019 to April 2020, 60 patients receiving single-port video-assisted pulmonary lobectomy at Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital were selected. The patients were randomly and equally divided into control group and paravertebral block group using a random number table. Patients of paravertebral block group were injected into the thoracic 4-5 intercostal, paravertebral 1 cm using 0.375% ropivacaine (20 ml) with thoracoscopy-guided at the end of surgery, while patients of control group were given patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) and Ramsay sedation scale were recorded at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 h after the surgery. The incidence of postoperative adverse reactions, additional dose and times of pethidine, the time to resume eating, the rate of postoperative active cough, the first time to get out of bed after surgery and postoperative hospital stay of two groups' patients were recorded. t test and chisquare test were used for statistical analysis. Results: The VAS score of paravertebral block group were lower than those of control group at all time points (all P<0.05). The Ramsay sedation scale of paravertebral block group were higher than those of control group at all time points (all P<0.05). The additional dose and times of pethidine of paravertebral block group were (8.2±2.3) mg and (0.2±0.1) time, which were lower than (87.8±15.3) mg and (1.8±0.3) time of control group, the differences were statistically significant (t=28.91, 34.37, all P<0.05). Incidence of nausea, vomiting and pruritus of paravertebral block group were 10.0%, 6.7% and 0, which were lower than 40.0%, 30.0% and 13.3% of control group, the differences were statistically significant (χ(2)=7.20, 5.45, 4.29, all P<0.05). The rate of postoperative active cough of paravertebral block group was 33.3%, which was higher than 10.0% of control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ(2)=4.81, P<0.05). The time to resume eating, the first time to get out of bed after surgery and postoperative hospital stay were (6.5±0.4) h, (20.9±3.1) h and (4.6±1.0) d, which were lower than (8.5±0.7) h, (28.6±4.8) h and (6.1±1.3) d of control group, the differences were statistically significant (t=13.47, 7.39, 4.19, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Thoracic paravertebral block under thoracoscopy-guided can effectively reduce the postoperative pain of single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy, with fewer adverse reactions, and is beneficial to postoperative recovery.

Abstract
In Europe, three widespread extreme summer drought and heat (DH) events have occurred in 2003, 2010 and 2018. These events were comparable in magnitude but varied in their geographical distribution and biomes affected. In this study, we perform a comparative analysis of the impact of the DH events on ecosystem CO2 fluxes over Europe based on an ensemble of 11 dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), and the observation-based FLUXCOM product. We find that all DH events were associated with decreases in net ecosystem productivity (NEP), but the gross summer flux anomalies differ between DGVMs and FLUXCOM. At the annual scale, FLUXCOM and DGVMs indicate close to neutral or above-average land CO2 uptake in DH2003 and DH2018, due to increased productivity in spring and reduced respiration in autumn and winter compensating for less photosynthetic uptake in summer. Most DGVMs estimate lower gross primary production (GPP) sensitivity to soil moisture during extreme summers than FLUXCOM. Finally, we show that the different impacts of the DH events at continental-scale GPP are in part related to differences in vegetation composition of the regions affected and to regional compensating or offsetting effects from climate anomalies beyond the DH centres. This article is part of the theme issue 'Impacts of the 2018 severe drought and heatwave in Europe: from site to continental scale'.

Abstract
Phosphate (Pi) deficiency severely restricts plant growth and development, as Pi is an essential macronutrient. Calcium (Ca2+ ) is a ubiquitous second messenger in plants; calcineurin B-like proteins (CBL) and CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPK) are signalling pathways that act as an important Ca2+ signalling network which integrates plants to fine tune the response to stress; however, whether CIPK are involved in Pi deficiency stress remains largely unknown. In this study, we carried out a reverse genetic strategy to screen T-DNA insertion mutants of CIPK isoforms under Pi deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana. Then Pi content, transcription of phosphate starvation-induced (PSI) genes, acid phosphatase activity and hydrogen peroxide were determined in the wild-type (WT) and cipk1 mutant, respectively. The phenotype of CIPK1 complementation lines was analysed. The cipk1 mutant had a more sensitive phenotype, with lower root elongation and root length, and decreased Pi content compared with the WT under Pi deficiency. Moreover, CIPK1 mutation caused phosphate starvation-induced (PSI) genes to be significantly induced under Pi deficiency. Histological staining demonstrated that the cipk1 mutant had increased acid phosphatase activity and hydrogen peroxide concentration under Pi deficiency. By using the yeast two-hybrid system, we further demonstrated the interaction between CIPK1 and the WRKY transcription factors, WRKY6 and WRKY42. Overall, we demonstrate that CIPK1 is involved in the Pi deficiency signalling pathway in A. thaliana, revealing the important role of Ca2+ in the Pi nutrition signalling pathway, and potentially providing a theoretical foundation for molecular breeding of crops with better Pi utilization efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the efficacy of statin-ezetimibe co-therapy compared to statin monotherapy in reducing cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular disease (CVD) prevalence in diabetes and non-diabetes patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Literature search was conducted in electronic databases and study selection was based on pre-determined eligibility criteria. Random-effects metanalyses were performed to examine the risk of CVD incidence between statin-ezetimibe co-therapy and statin monotherapy and subgroups were performed to examine the significance of differences between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. A pooled analysis of hazard ratios of statin-ezetimibe combination versus statin monotherapy in the prevalence of CVD reported by the individual studies was also performed. RESULTS 8 studies (136893 individuals; 80790 diabetics, 85555 non-diabetics; age 63.5 years [95% confidence interval (CI) 61.2, 65.8]; 61.5% [95% CI 55.2, 67.8] males) were included. Follow-up duration was 45 months [95% CI 27.5, 62.5]. Risk of CVD prevalence was significantly less with ezetimibe-statin than with statin alone in both diabetes (RR 0.69 [95% CI 0.67, 0.73]; p<0.00001) and in non-diabetes (RR 0.68 [95% CI 0.52, 0.90]; p=0.006) subjects (subgroup difference: chi2=0.00; p=0.97). Risk of prevalence of stroke was significantly less with ezetimibe-statin than with statin monotherapy in diabetes (RR 0.74 [95% CI 0.56, 0.98]; p=0.03) but non-significantly less in non-diabetes patients (RR 0.74 [95% CI 0.39, 1.41]; p=0.39) and this sub-group difference was also not statistically significant (chi2=0.00; p=0.99). CONCLUSIONS Statin-ezetimibe co-therapy is found more efficacious than statin monotherapy in reducing the incidence of CVD with no significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.

Abstract
Background:Secukinumab has demonstrated significant and sustained reduction of disease activity and improvement in physical functioning and quality of life in PsA pts in RCTs.1Objectives:This study assessed effectiveness of secukinumab in PsA in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey of rheumatologists, dermatologists and pts in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK. Data were collected online from June-Dec 2018 via physician-completed patient record forms. Pts receiving any treatment for PsA were included in survey (n=1675). Pts receiving secukinumab >4 months were included in this analysis. Pts reported quality of life, work, and disability measures at their current consultation. Physicians reported patient demographic and disease characteristics, concomitant and previous treatments, and time since diagnosis. Physicians also reported overall, skin and joint disease severity, pain (1-10 scale), BSA psoriasis involvement, global VAS score, PASI score, SJC, and TJC for 2 time points: initiation of treatment and at the time of data collection (current consultation). Data were analysed descriptively. The data analysed here is representative of pts that are currently receiving secukinumab and does not assess pts that have discontinued treatment.Results:572 PsA pts were receiving secukinumab >4 months at their current consultation. Patient mean age was 47.9 yrs, with 43% female, 59% working full time, and a mean BMI of 26.6. On average, pts were diagnosed with PsA 5.6 years before the current consultation, had received secukinumab for 11.0 months, and for 59% of pts secukinumab was their 1st advanced therapy (bDMARDs or tsDMARDs), 24% their 2nd and 16% their 3rd or more. 25% of pts were also receiving a csDMARD concurrently. Pts reported a mean EQ5D utility score of 0.83, mean WPAI overall work impairment of 24.3%, mean HAQ-DI score as 0.6, and mean PsAID12 score as 2.6 at current consultation. Proportion of pts with moderate and severe overall disease severity, and skin and joint severity decreased at current consultation vs at the initiation treatment (Table 1). Between initiation of treatment and current consultation, pts achieved a significant reduction in disease activity scores, pain score, global VAS scores, BSA, PASI score as well as a greater proportion of pts achieving a BSA < 3%, a PASI score < 3 (Table 2).Conclusion:This multinational study demonstrated secukinumab effectiveness in routine care in PsA pts, with significant improvements across all outcomes.References:[1]Mease et al.

Abstract
Background:Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) present with heterogeneous clinical phenotypes, which includes different clinical manifestations such as peripheral arthritis, axial disease, dactylitis, enthesitis, and skin and nail psoriasis. Many drugs for treatment of PsA are available for individualised treatment strategies but robust evidence is available for peripheral arthritis only as primary endpoint of RCTs.Objectives:To evaluate perception of German physicians on the value of current PsA treatments on different clinical PsA manifestations.Methods:In a face-to-face meeting, 8 German physicians (dermatology, rheumatology), specialised in PsA research/patient care, proposed initial scores for the effect size of current PsA drugs on different PsA manifestations based on knowledge of study data and personal experience in use of the drugs. The ability to achieve a consensus of the proposed efficacy scores was explored by applying an online survey among a cohort of PsA experienced physicians. Finally, a second online survey evaluated how a larger group of physicians personally estimate the drug effect sizes on different PsA manifestations.Results:Table 1 summarises the efficacy scores proposed by the initial expert group. In the first online survey 25 treating physicians were invited to participate, 14 (56%) of whom completed the survey. An agreement rate of over 65% of the participants was archived for 49 (68%) of the 72 proposed efficacy scores (Table 1). The consensus was especially high for the group of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), except for etanercept and abatacept. However, the second survey (16 (39%) participants out of 41 invited physicians) revealed that the experience with the treatment using abatacept was low (4 / 16 (25%)) or non-existing (3 /16 (18.8%)) and several manifestations could not be estimated (Figure 1). Distribution of answers were broad for etanercept in general and for particular drug-manifestation combinations (e.g. effect of ustekinumab on axial disease).Table 1.Efficacy scores proposed by a PsA expert group and consensus achieved by an online survey among PsA treating physicians Efficacy scores for different drugs and manifestations range from 0 (no effect) to 5 (maximal effect).

Red stars indicate the scores proposed by the initial expert group.Conclusion:Many treatments are available to be used in PsA. The usage of treatment classes seems to depend on experience level and mode of action. Higher agreement on efficacy in specific diseases manifestation was achieved in the class of biologics whereas the opinion on efficacy of csDMARDs in general is divergent. Strategies are needed to guide physicians with lower level of experience in the use of specific drugs to achieve an optimised patient care level using personalized treatment strategies.Disclosure of Interests:Timm Oberwahrenbrock Grant/research support from: BMS, Hannah Tian: None declared, Diamant Thaçi Grant/research support from: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Klaus Krueger Consultant of: Celgene, Jürgen Wollenhaupt Consultant of: Celgene, Michaela Köhm Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Janssen, BMS, LEO, Consultant of: BMS, Pfizer, Speakers bureau: Pfizer, BMS, Janssen, Novartis, Frank Behrens Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Janssen, Chugai, Celgene, Lilly and Roche, Consultant of: Pfizer, AbbVie, Sanofi, Lilly, Novartis, Genzyme, Boehringer, Janssen, MSD, Celgene, Roche and Chugai

Abstract
In summer 2018, central and northern Europe were stricken by extreme drought and heat (DH2018). The DH2018 differed from previous events in being preceded by extreme spring warming and brightening, but moderate rainfall deficits, yet registering the fastest transition between wet winter conditions and extreme summer drought. Using 11 vegetation models, we show that spring conditions promoted increased vegetation growth, which, in turn, contributed to fast soil moisture depletion, amplifying the summer drought. We find regional asymmetries in summer ecosystem carbon fluxes: increased (reduced) sink in the northern (southern) areas affected by drought. These asymmetries can be explained by distinct legacy effects of spring growth and of water-use efficiency dynamics mediated by vegetation composition, rather than by distinct ecosystem responses to summer heat/drought. The asymmetries in carbon and water exchanges during spring and summer 2018 suggest that future land-management strategies could influence patterns of summer heat waves and droughts under long-term warming.

Abstract
Background Symptoms and comorbidities of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) considerably reduce health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and ability to work. This real-world study assessed rates of tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) use and switching, treatment failure, and associations between failing TNFi and HRQoL, work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI). Methods AS patients and their treating physicians completed questionnaires capturing patient demographics, clinical status, TNFi treatment history, reasons for switching TNFi, HRQoL and WPAI. Current TNFi was determined as “failing” if, after ≥3 months, physician-rated disease severity had worsened, remained severe, was “unstable/deteriorating”, physicians were dissatisfied with disease control and/or did not consider treatment a “success”. Results The analysis included 2866 AS patients from 18 countries. Of 2795 patients with complete treatment data, 916 (32.8%) patients had never received TNFi therapy, 1623 (58.1%) patients were receiving their 1st TNFi and 200 (7.2%) patients had ever received ≥2 TNFi (treatment switch). Primary or secondary lack of efficacy were the commonest reasons for switching, and the mean delay in switching after primary lack of efficacy was 11.1 months. 232 (15.4%) patients on TNFi were currently “failing” who, compared to those with treatment success, reported poorer HRQoL: 5-dimension EuroQoL (EQ-5D-3 L): 0.63 vs. 0.78; Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2) mental component summary (MCS): 41.8 vs. 46.3; physical component summary (PCS): 40.2 vs. 45.1; impaired work productivity: 46.4% vs. 25.0%; and activity: 44.5% vs. 29.6%; all P < 0.001. Conclusions Among AS patients, switching TNFi is uncommon and delayed by nearly 1 year despite primary lack of efficacy. Patients currently failing TNFi experience worse physical function, HRQoL and work productivity.

Abstract
Topological structures based on controllable ferroelectric or ferromagnetic domain configurations offer the opportunity to develop microelectronic devices such as high-density memories. Despite the increasing experimental and theoretical insights into various domain structures (such as polar spirals, polar wave, polar vortex) over the past decade, manipulating the topological transformations of polar structures and comprehensively understanding its underlying mechanism remains lacking. By conducting an in-situ non-contact bias technique, here we systematically investigate the real-time topological transformations of polar structures in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 multilayers at an atomic level. The procedure of vortex pair splitting and the transformation from polar vortex to polar wave and out-of-plane polarization are observed step by step. Furthermore, the redistribution of charge in various topological structures has been demonstrated under an external bias. This provides new insights for the symbiosis of polar and charge and offers an opportunity for a new generation of microelectronic devices. Direct observation of the dynamic evolution of polar domain structures at atomic level remains challenging. Here, the authors report the observation of real-time topological transformations of polar structures in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 multilayers.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the microbiological test, antibiotic sensitivity and surgical treatment of periprosthetic joint infection(PJI) cases in post total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted on 318 patients who underwent THA or TKA in 9 clinical centers in Beijing from January 2014 to December 2016.The data of microbiology, antibiotic sensitivity and surgical treatment were collected.The average age of patients was (62.3±13.1) years old (range: 21-86 years old), including 145 males and 173 females.The body mass index was (25.6±3.8) kg/m (2) (range: 15.6-38.1 kg/m(2)). Results: In total, 318 patients had microorganisms detected by periprosthetic tissue culture or synovial fluid culture, 209 cases (65.7%) had Gram-positive bacteria, 29 cases (9.1%) had Gram-negative bacteria, 10 cases (3.1%) had fungi, 3 cases (0.9%) had non-tuberculous mycobacteria, 72 cases (22.6%) were negative, 69 cases (21.7%) had methicillin-resistant bacteria. The antibiotic sensitivity results showed that the overall resistance rate of penicillin, cefuroxime, amoxicillin+clavulanic acid was 79.9%, 69.9%, and 68.1%, respectively; meropenem, vancomycin, and linezolid resistance rate was 0. For the treatment methods of hip and knee PJI, two-stage revision surgery acounted for 72.9% (108/148) and 64.1% (109/170), respectively. One-stage revision surgery accounted for 21.6% (32/148) and 7.6% (13/170), and open debridement surgery accounted for 4.7%(7/148) and 26.4% (45/170). Conclusions: Gram-positive bacteria was still the main pathogen of PJI.The methicillin-resistant bacteria and rare bacteria should be payed attention to. The Majority of hip and knee PJI cases were treated by two-stage revision surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of vascular localization using computerized tomography angiography (CTA) combined with refined three dimensional (3D) printing in guiding the resection and reconstruction of complex oral cancer. Methods: From December 2013 to July 2017, the clinical data of 30 patients with complex oral cancer enrolled in the Hunan Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. 15 patients received CTA+ 3D assisted surgery, while the other 15 patients underwent traditional surgery. In CTA+ 3D assisted surgery group, CT and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data were combined with CTA to print refined solid 3D model and surgical guide plate. The preoperative and intraoperative virtual surgical system and the operative experience were combined for preoperative evaluation and surgery. In traditional surgery group, preoperative evaluation and surgery were performed according to imaging data and surgeons' clinical experience. Operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay and local recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Results: In CTA+ 3D assisted surgery group, one patient gave up surgical treatment after intuitively watching the lesion through the 3D model, and the remaining 14 patients underwent surgery as planned. All the 15 patients in traditional surgery group received surgery. But the preoperative plans of three patients were temporarily and passively modified due to insufficient preoperative evaluation. The average intraoperative blood loss was(320.1±27.2)ml in CTA+ 3D assisted surgery group and(430.2±30.3)ml in traditional surgery group. Mean operation time was(440.3±19.2)min and(552.2±23.3)min, respectively. Mean hospitalization time was (20.4±3.2)d and (25.1±3.7)d, respectively. The differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). 1 year and 3 years local recurrence rates were 9.1% and 28.6% in CTA+ 3D assisted surgery group, as well as 14.3% and 50.4% in traditional surgery group with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: For complex oral cancer patients with difficulty in opening the mouth or postoperative recurrence, CTA vascular localization combined with fine 3D printing technology has significant advantages in the surgical process, surgical effect and postoperative evaluation index compared with traditional method using imaging data and clinical experience.

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Subpopulations and Their Difference in Cell Biology and Effects on Retinal Degeneration in RCS Rats. Curr Mol Med 2019; 17:421-435.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are potential candidates for treating retinal degeneration (RD). OBJECTIVE To further study the biology and therapeutic effects of the hUC-MSCs on retinal degeneration. METHODS Two hUC-MSC subpopulations, termed hUC-MSC1 and hUC-MSC2, were isolated by single-cell cloning method and their therapeutic functions were compared in RCS rat, a RD model. RESULTS Although both subsets satisfied the basic requirements for hUC-MSCs, they were significantly different in morphology, proliferation rate, differentiation capacity, phenotype and gene expression. Furthermore, only the smaller, fibroblast-like, faster growing subset hUC-MSC1 displayed stronger colony forming potential as well as adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capacities. When the two subsets were respectively transplanted into the subretinal spaces of RCS rats, both subsets survived, but only hUC-MSC1 expressed RPE cell markers Bestrophin and RPE65. More importantly, hUC-MSC1 showed stronger rescue effect on the retinal function as indicated by the higher b-wave amplitude on ERG examination, thicker retinal nuclear layer, and decreased apoptotic photoreceptors. When both subsets were treated with interleukin-6, mimicking the inflammatory environment when the cells were transplanted into the eyes with degenerated retina, hUC-MSC1 expressed much higher levels of trophic factors in comparison with hUC-MSC2. CONCLUSION The data here, in addition to prove the heterogeneity of hUC-MSCs, confirmed that the stronger therapeutic effects of hUC-MSC1 were attributed to its stronger anti-apoptotic effect, paracrine of trophic factors and potential RPE cell differentiation capacity. Thus, the subset hUC-MSC1, not the other subset or the ungrouped hUC-MSCs should be used for effective treatment of RD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ceramide plays critical roles in cell proliferation, senescence and apoptosis, and is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, etc. To clarify if ceramide plays some roles in retinal diseases, we established in vivo and in vitro retinal injury models with ceramide 2 (C2) treatment. In addition, Erythropoietin (EPO), which showed protective effects on retinal cells and blood-retinal barrier (BRB), was also tested for its protection and possible mechanism(s) in these models. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups, i.e., normal control, vehicle control, C2 treatment, and C2+EPO treatment. After intravitreal injection, the rats were examined for eye fundus, electroretinogram, histological study, and immunostaining, etc. In vitro, retinal neuronal cell line (R28) and the primary human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were treated with C2, cell viability assay, transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and BRB-related molecules were studied to test the protective effect of EPO. RESULTS Intravitreal C2-treatment caused significant vision loss in rats, as reflected by reduced b-wave amplitude, increased TUNEL positive cells and GFAP immunostaining in retina. Another major retinal injury observed was BRB breakdown following C2- treatment. Such C2-induced injuries were further confirmed by in vitro study. When HRMECs were treated with C2, the TEER was significantly reduced. The mechanisms for C2 to induce such injuries might be through evidently increased expressions of the related molecules like plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP or PV-1), ecto- 5'-nucleotidase (CD73) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), as observed in C2-treated R28 cells. All these injuries induced by C2 were significantly prevented by EPO both in vivo and in vitro, and its protective mechanisms here might be, in addition to neuroprotective, closely related to its maintenance of BRB integrity, through reducing the expressions of PV-1, CD73 and ICAM-1. CONCLUSION C2 could induce severe retinal injury, and such injuries could be effectively prevented by EPO treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty with ultra-congruent insert(UC) or posterior stability insert (PS). Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 97 patients (17 males, 80 females, 119 knees) with knee osteoarthritis who received total knee arthroplasty. Of the patients, 42 cases (50 knees) received UC protheses and 55 cases (69 knees) received PS protheses in total knee arthroplasty by the same surgeon in Peking University Third Hospital from March 2015 to November 2015. The data including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), range of motion (ROM), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index and Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) before and after the surgery were collected and compared in the two groups. The data were compared between the two groups by single-sample t test. Results: There was no significant differences in age, gender, BMI, ROM, HHS and WOMAC scores between the two groups before operation(all P>0.05). At 3 months and 2 years of follow-up, ROM, HSS and WOMAC scores were significantly improved in the two groups(all P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference between the two groups(t=-0.303, -1.593, Z=-0.500, all P>0.05). One patient with PS prosthesis recieved revision surgery due to prothesis loosening; and no complication found in the UC group(χ(2)=0.731, P>0.05). Conclusion: There is no obvious difference between PS and UC in TKA, UC insert seems to be a practical alternative to the PS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the main cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly. Oxidative stress in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is deemed to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of AMD. miR-25 functions as an essential modulator in response to oxidative-stress in several cell types, but its function in RPE cells is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To explore the roles of miR-25 in RPE cells and in the development of AMD. METHODS A rat model of retinal degeneration was induced by sodium iodate (SI). Subretinal injection of antagomiR-25 was performed for the intervention while the scramble as control. Visual responses were recorded with Electroretinogram (ERG). TUNEL assay was performed to detect apoptosis. Phagosome quantification in vivo was performed to evaluate RPE cell function. Oxygen-glucose deprivation treatment was performed to mimic in vitro oxidative stress. Gene expression at mRNA level and protein level were performed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western Blot, respectively. The pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) level in the cultured medium was measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The interaction between miR-25 and integrin αV (IGTAV) / PEDF 3'UTR was examined by dual luciferase assay. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was performed to examine its transcriptional regulation of miR-25. RESULTS Oxidative stress up-regulated miR-25 in RPE cells in very early stage, accompanied by decreased phagocytosis and reduced growth factor secretion in those cells. Such changes preceded RPE cell apoptosis and visual impairment in the SItreated rats. Furthermore, antagomiR-25 intervention effectively rescued RPE cells from degeneration in such model. The increased miR-25 was confirmed to mediate RPE degeneration through direct targeting IGTAV and PEDF. On the other hand, upstream, miR-25 was found to be up-regulated by STAT3 signaling under oxidative stress in both in vivo and in vitro models. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that, in SI-treated rats, oxidative stress activates STAT3 signaling which up-regulates miR-25 expression, in a very early stage. The increased miR-25 then inhibits ITGAV and PEDF expressions, resulting in RPE phagocytosis dysfunction and then RPE apoptosis and visual impairment as observed in patients with AMD. These findings lead us to a better understanding of AMD pathogenesis, and suggest that miR-25 could be a potential therapeutic target for oxidative stress related RPE diseases, like AMD.
