Abstract
Ce3+ doped M3Al5O12 (MAG, M=Lu, Y) glass ceramics (GCs) have been proved to be shapeable phosphors for white lighting driven by a 453 nm laser. Quantitative characterization reflects that the net emission powers of 4 wt% LuAG-doped GC and 4 wt% YAG-doped GC are 59.99 mW and 66.22 mW at the pump power of 117.63 mW, and the quantum yields reach up to 71.1% and 78.0%, respectively. Miniaturization of devices can be achieved for LuAG/YAG-GCs by optimizing sample size and phosphor concentration with maintaining fluorescence intensity of the samples. Presupposed color coordinate trace reveals that the high-brightness white fluorescence can be realized when the appropriate intensity ratio is determined between residual laser and sample emission. The tunable white fluorescence and the efficient radiation releasing illustrate that LuAG/YAG-GCs are potential candidates for application in solid-state laser illumination.

Abstract
Ductile metallic glass foams (DMGFs) are a new type of structural material with a perfect combination of high strength and toughness. Owing to their disordered atomic-scale microstructures and randomly distributed macroscopic voids, the compressive deformation of DMGFs proceeds through multiple nanoscale shear bands accompanied by local fracture of cellular structures, which induces avalanche-like intermittences in stress–strain curves. In this paper, we present a statistical analysis, including distributions of avalanche size, energy dissipation, waiting times and aftershock sequence, on such a complex dynamic process, which is dominated by shear banding. After eliminating the influence of structural disorder, we demonstrate that, in contrast to the mean-field results of their brittle counterparts, scaling laws in DMGFs are characterized by different exponents. It is shown that the occurrence of non-trivial scaling behaviours is attributed to the localized plastic yielding, which effectively prevents the system from building up a long-range correlation. This accounts for the high structural stability and energy absorption performance of DMGFs. Furthermore, our results suggest that such shear banding dynamics introduce an additional characteristic time scale, which leads to a universal gamma distribution of waiting times.

Abstract
Multi-photon-excited thermal-correlated green and red upconversion (UC) emissions have been quantified in Ho3+/Yb3+ co-doped fluotellurite (BZLFT) glass phosphor under the 978 nm laser excitation. The temperature dependence of the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) originated from UC emissions bands centered at 550 nm and 661 nm has been verified in the range of 303-543 K. The net emission photon numbers of 5F4+5S2→5I8 and 5F5→5I8 transition emissions are up to 40.08×1012 and 68.51×1012cps in the 0.4wt.%Ho2O3-0.4wt.%Yb2O3 co-doped BZLFT case under the 6.95W/mm2 laser power density. Furthermore, the quantum yield (QY) and luminous flux are determined to be dependent on pumping power. When the excitation power increases 874 mW, the QY values for 550 nm and 661 nm emissions are as high as 0.94×10-5 and 1.60×10-5. In addition, the high photon producing efficiency is conducive to ensuring high feedback to thermosensitive performance. The temperature thermal sensor can be manipulated steadily in medium temperature range, and the relative sensitivity reaches 0.4%K-1 at 303 K, which is 1 order of magnitude larger than those in several rare-earth-doped materials. Efficient photon conversion ability and high temperature sensitivity indicate that the rare-earth-ion-doped fluotellurite material has a prospective application in the construction of optical temperature sensors based on the FIR technique allowing for self-referenced temperature determination.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to investigative genetic and environmental factors that contribute to caries susceptibility among adolescents in south China. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1055 adolescents aged 13-14 years old in south China. The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) was used to identify caries. Environmental variables were analysed by regression models. Twenty-three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 14 genes were identified from saliva samples. Regression analysis was used for the evaluation of effects of SNP markers using the minor allele as the effect allele. RESULTS Our results suggest that gender, Cariostat score and Plaque Index were associated with dental caries. After the adjustment by age and gender, the G allele in AMBN (rs13115627) nominally was a protective factor for caries under additive model (P=0.028; OR=0.782; 95% CI, 0.627-0.974). However, the association did not meet the Bonferroni correction significance cut-off for multiple testing. CONCLUSION Gender, Cariostat score and Plaque Index were associated with dental caries in this population. No selected SNPs showed a significant association with dental caries under either additive model or dominance model.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Single or multi-level soft tissue surgical interventions are common options for CPAP-intolerant patients with OSA. Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) is an alternative option using an implantable hypoglossal nerve stimulator. We compared patient outcomes between traditional sleep surgery (TSS) and UAS.
Methods
We selected patients who underwent TSS (including palate, oropharynx, tongue, and/or epiglottis-based procedures) for OSA and also met general UAS criteria (BMI≤35, AHI between 15-65, absence of palate concentric collapse during DISE, if available) for chart review. UAS outcomes were collected from the ADHERE international registry. For both groups, post-op AHI was collected, including full-night UAS efficacy studies. Data are presented as mean and standard deviation.
Results
The TSS group (n=284) and UAS group (n=541) were predominantly male and overweight. The TSS group was younger than UAS (47±12 vs 60±11 years, p<0.001). At baseline, both groups had severe OSA with AHI of 34±14 and 36±15 (p=0.23) and excessive daytime sleepiness with ESS of 12±5 and 12±6, (p=0.38), respectively. TSS follow-up was 169±151 days vs 392±181 days for UAS, which was significantly different. UAS had significantly larger decrease in AHI than TSS (-21/h±18 vs -16/h±16, p<0.0001). Both groups had a large decrease in ESS, however, the UAS group had a slightly smaller decrease, (-6±5 vs -5±5, p=0.01). Using the Sher response criteria of 50% AHI reduction and ≤ 20 events/hour, UAS had a 70% response rate vs 51% for TSS.
Conclusion
This study represents largest and first international, multicenter comparison of UAS to traditional surgical interventions for OSA, albeit with limitations of potential differential patient selection. While both TSS and UAS show similar improvement in symptoms, upper airway stimulation has a larger reduction of AHI with higher rates of therapy response than traditional sleep surgery

Abstract
Yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal ceramics is widely used in the field of dentistry because of its excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, it has low hydroxyl content and does not contain silica. Therefore micro mechanical retention induced by hydrofluoric acid etching on its surface is not applicable. The bonding of zirconia is a difficult problem. Zirconia surface pretreatment is commonly used to improve bonding strength and durability. This review summarizes surface pretreatment of dental zirconia ceramic including air abrasion, laser etching, acid etching, silica coating, non-thermal plasmas treatment, et al. In addition, it presents advantages and disadvantages of each treatment, provides guidance for application and future research directions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of adding a video tool to a printed booklet on osteoporosis. Both strategies were effective in increasing knowledge and decreasing decisional conflict. There was no difference in the measured outcomes between the intervention and control groups. Patient preferences and learning styles are key factors in deciding a presentation format when educating patients with osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION Innovative approaches to patient education about self-management in osteoporosis may improve outcomes. METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of adding a multimedia patient education tool involving video modeling to a printed educational booklet on osteoporosis. Participants were post-menopausal women with osteoporosis. We assessed osteoporosis knowledge, decisional conflict, self-efficacy, and effectiveness in disease management at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3 and 6 months. Linear regression models were used to explore changes in outcomes at 6 months with respect to baseline characteristics. RESULTS Two hundred and twenty-five women were randomized, 111 to receive the multimedia tool in addition to the booklet and 114 to receive the booklet alone. Knowledge and decisional conflict scores significantly improved in both groups at all post-intervention assessment points, but with no significant differences in score changes between the groups. Self-efficacy and disease management effectiveness showed no significant changes from baseline. In the entire cohort, younger age was associated with better effectiveness in disease management and Hispanic women had greater gains in knowledge at 6 months compared to White women. Women with limited health literacy who had received the multimedia tool in addition to the printed materials had higher decisional conflict than those who received printed materials alone. CONCLUSION Both multimedia and printed tools increased knowledge and decreased decisional conflict to the same extent, neither of the educational materials proved to be better than the other. For women with limited health literacy, receiving the booklet alone was more effective in reducing decisional conflict after 6 months, than adding the multimedia tool.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, lncRNA has been determined to play an important role in cancer formation and development. However, the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA in NSCLC has not been fully explored. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of NEAT1, miR-376b-3p, and SULF1 was detected in each group via quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The proteins expression of SULF1, p-MAPK, MAPK, p-Akt, Akt, and GAPDH were measured via Western blot. MTT assay was applied to detect cell proliferation in each group. Transwell assay was used to assess cell invasion and migration of each group. Cell apoptosis was assessed with flow cytometry. The relationship among NEAT1, miR-376b-3p, and SULF1 was determined using Luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS In this study, the expression of NEAT1 and SULF1 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. Of note, the knockdown of NEAT1 and SULF1 could inhibit cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and promote cell apoptosis in NSCLC. Moreover, NEAT1 regulated SULF1 expression via binding to miR-376b-3p in NSCLC cells. Otherwise, the effects of NEAT1 on cell growth and apoptosis were reversed by improving the SULF1 expression in NSCLC cells. Meanwhile, si-NEAT1 transfection inhibited MAPK and Akt signaling pathway by modulating SULF1 in NSCLC cells. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we found that lncRNA NEAT1 regulated cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis by targeting has-miR-376b-3p/SULF1 axis in NSCLC. Moreover, the regulatory network of NEAT1 participated in the phosphorylation levels of MAPK and Akt to affect cell progression of NSCLC, providing a new regulatory pathway in the pathogenesis of lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent studies from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative show that, in the USA, 75% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are female. To date, there have rarely been any attempts to analyze data by sex or gender, which limits the potential for discovering the effects of sex or gender on disease. Little evidence is available regarding the effect of gender and apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 on white matter (WM) connection from the functional perspective due to the lack of appropriate techniques for detecting blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals in WM. METHODS We took advantage of a new framework known as functional tensor imaging to investigate the effect of sex and APOEε4 on WM cortical functional connectivity throughout the brain. RESULTS In a group of female patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, we found a significantly reduced functional connectivity in the left posterior limb of the internal capsule, left superior fronto-occipital fasciculus, bilateral temporopolar area and right somatosensory association cortex in APOEε4 carriers in contrast to non-carriers. We also found a significant APOEε4 by sex interaction effect on the right somatosensory association cortex, left temporopolar area and left superior temporal gyrus. The clinical Montreal Cognitive Assessment score was significantly negatively associated with the right somatosensory association cortex with APOEε4 by sex interaction in males. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that increased APOE-related risk in women may be associated with decreased activity in both gray matter and WM in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment compared with men. The finding suggests accounting for sex differences in neuroimaging biomarkers, diagnostics and treatment strategy.

METHODS This cross-sectional evaluation included 1412 HIV-positive and 2824 HIV-negative participants aged 18 to 75 years and frequency matched by age and sex, derived from the baseline survey of Comparative HIV and Aging Research in Taizhou (CHART), China, between February and December 2017. RESULTS HIV-positive individuals had higher prevalence of sinus tachycardia (5.6% (79/1412) vs. 1.3% (36/2824), p < 0.001) and ST/T wave abnormalities (14.9% (211/1412) vs. 9.4% (264/1412), p < 0.001) but lower prevalence of sinus bradycardia (4.8% (68/1412) vs. 7.5% (211/2824), p 0.001); such associations remained statistically significant after adjusting for traditional risk factors (respectively, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 4.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.06-7.17; aOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.54-2.34; aOR 0.60, 95% CI 0.44-0.80). In adjusted models, being in higher carotid intima-media thickness categories was significantly associated with ST/T abnormalities in HIV-positive individuals only (0.78-1.00 mm: aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.01-2.12; >1.00 mm: aOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.39-3.42), whereas being in higher blood pressure categories was significantly associated with both sinus tachycardia (prehypertension: aOR 5.61, 95% CI 1.76-17.91; hypertension: aOR 12.62, 95% CI 3.60-44.27) and ST/T abnormalities (hypertension: aOR 2.04, 95% CI 1.41-2.95) in HIV-negative individuals only. Longer duration of known HIV infection was the only HIV-specific factor of ST/T abnormalities (aOR 1.61, 95% CI 1.17-2.22), with none for sinus tachycardia. CONCLUSIONS HIV infection is independently associated with sinus tachycardia and ST/T abnormalities. Further research is needed to investigate specific mechanisms by which HIV infection leads to ECG abnormalities and to evaluate whether inclusion of ECG parameters improves cardiovascular disease prediction. Integrating ECG screening into routine HIV care is recommended in China.

Abstract
Plant immunity is regulated by a huge phytohormone regulation network. Ethylene(ET) and brassinosteroids (BRs) play critical roles in plant response to biotic stress; however, the relationship between BR and ET in plant immunity is unclear. We used chemical treatments, genetic approaches and inoculation experiments to investigate the relationship between ET and BR in plant defense against Pst DC3000 in Nicotiana benthamiana. Foliar applications of ET and BR enhanced plant resistance to Pst DC3000 inoculation, while treatment with brassinazole (BRZ, a specific BR biosynthesis inhibitor) eliminated the ET induced plant resistance to Pst DC3000. Silencing of DWARF 4(DWF4, a key BR biosynthetic gene), BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1, aBR receptor) and BRASSINOSTEROID-SIGNALING KINASE 1 (BSK1, downstream of BRI1) also neutralised the ET-induced plant resistance to Pst DC3000. ET can induce callose deposition and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation to resistPst DC3000, BRZ-treated and gene-silenced were completely eliminate this response. Our results suggest BR is involved in ET-induced plant resistance, the involvement of ET in plant resistance is possibly by the induction of callose deposition and ROS accumulation, in a BR-dependent manner.

Abstract
The behavior of 2 generations of broiler breeders undergoing a 25% reduced balanced protein (RP) dietary treatment was investigated in the current study. There were 2 treatments for the F0 generation: control (C) breeders fed with standard C diets and RP breeders fed with RP diets. The female progeny of each treatment was again subjected to 2 dietary treatments, resulting in 4 treatments for F1 generation: C/C, C/RP, RP/C, and RP/RP (breeder feed in F0/F1 generation). To maintain the target body weights throughout the trial, breeders on RP diet received on average 10% more feed than C diet breeders. The behavior of the breeders at 8h30 (30 min before feeding at 9h00), 12h00, and 15h30 in weeks 23 and 37 of the F0 generation and in week 6, 11, and 22 of the F1 generation was observed. Litter scratching, feather pecking, and object pecking were occasionally increased by RP diet feeding which indicated feeding frustration. Drinking behavior decreased dramatically by the RP dietary feeding and resulting in a better litter condition which could benefit dust bathing behavior. In addition, feeding the breeders RP diet in the F0 generation decreased litter scratching (week 6) and feather pecking (week 22, 15h30) but increased sitting (week 11, 15h30) and drinking (a tendency in week 6 and a significant effect in week 11) behavior of offspring breeders (F1 generation). In general, breeders fed with reduced balanced protein diets, to some extent, spent less time drinking and their offspring could have an adaptation to the maternal RP diet. The mechanism of this adaptation still needs to be further investigated. In general, positive effects were found by reducing protein level of breeder diets. However, negative side effects such as feeding frustration were also observed, which merit further study.

Abstract
A 54-year-old man was admitted to respiratory department with chief complaints of recurrent cough and dyspnea. Chest imaging showed multiple patchy shadows and interstitial changes. Evidence of infectious diseases was not definite, and antibiotic treatments were not effective. In the meantime, myelodysplasia syndrome was diagnosed with pancytopenia. The pathologic findings of transbronchoscopic lung biopsyshowed chronic inflammatory interstitial changes, suggesting a clinical diagnosis of organizing pneumonia. After glucocorticoids treatment, his condition aggravated. The second percutaneous lung biopsy showed the infiltration of a large number of neutrophils. Therefore, the final diagnosis of myelodysplasia syndrome with Sweet syndrome was made. Then glucocorticoids and supportive treatment were given This case may improve physicians' understanding of myelodysplasia syndrome complicated with Sweet syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of paclitaxel on the autophagy of human cervical cancer cell lines by the expression regulation of lncRNARP11-381N20.2 as well as to explore the interaction and relationship between autophagy, proliferation, and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Genome-wide expression profiles of tumors and their susceptibility to drugs were downloaded through TCGA database to find differentially expressed lncRNA RP11-381N20.2 in chemosensitive sensitive and insensitive groups. Expression of RP11-381N20.2 in 60 cervical cancer tissues and 30 normal tissues was detected by qRT-PCR. The relationship between the expression of RP11-381N20.2 and the clinicopathological parameters of lung cancer was statistically analyzed. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA-RP11-381N20.2 and pcDNA-NC of RP11-381N20.2 were transfected into SiHa cells by lipofectamine, respectively. The autophagy and phenotypic effects were observed. Cell proliferation was determined by colony formation assay. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was conducted to detect expressions of autophagy-related proteins. RESULTS Genome-wide expression profiles of chemotherapy-sensitive and insensitive data in patients with cervical cancer in TCGA database were analyzed by edger package, results showed that the expression of lncRNA RP11-381N20.2 was significantly lower in the chemotherapy-insensitive group. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of RP11-381N20.2 in cervical cancer was decreased, and the total survival time of patients was positively correlated with the expression of RP11-381N20.2. RP11-381N20.2 was associated with TNM (tumor node metastasis) staging and tumor size. Biological functions of SiHa cells showed that the expression of RP11-381N20.2 was negatively correlated with the treatment time and dose of paclitaxel. Colony formation assay showed that paclitaxel could inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry showed that paclitaxel induced apoptosis of cervical cancer cells, which was more promoted after combination with RP11-381N20.2. Western blot results suggested that paclitaxel could induce autophagy in cervical cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent manners. Paclitaxel combined with RP11-381N20.2 could significantly increase apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS During the killing process of paclitaxel on cervical cancer SiHa cells, cell autophagy would affect the efficacy, after overexpression of RP11-381N20.2 in SiHa cells, autophagy induced by paclitaxel was inhibited, thereby enhancing the killing effect of paclitaxel on tumor cells.

Abstract
Abstract
A liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the analysis of monensin, narasin, and salinomycin in mineral premixes, supplements, and complete animal feeds at medicating and trace levels was collaboratively studied. The method uses methanolwater (90 + 10) extraction with mechanical shaking for 1 h, filtration, and dilution if necessary. Determination of the 3 ionophores is by reversed-phase LC using post-column derivatization with vanillin and detection at 520 nm. Suspect positive trace-level products and medicated feeds containing unexpected ionophores are confirmed by hexane extraction or post-column derivatization with dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMAB). Twenty-five test samples of medicated feeds, supplements, and mineral and drug premixes, and 9 test samples for trace-level analysis were sent to 11 collaborators in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Portugal, France, The Netherlands, United States, and Canada. Acceptable results were received from 10 laboratories. For the medicated complete feeds, supplements, and mineral premixes, RSDr values (within-laboratory repeatability) ranged from 2.5 to 5.2%, RSDR values (among-laboratory reproducibility) ranged from 2.7 to 6.8%, and HorRat values ranged from 0.31 to 1.30. For the drug premixes, the result variability was excessive and HorRat values ranged from 2.27 to 14.1. For the trace-level test samples, all laboratories correctly identified the analytes and did not report any false positives. RSDr values ranged from 1.3 to 9.5%, RSDR values ranged from 5.2 to 13.1%, and HorRat values ranged from 0.4 to 0.97.

Abstract
The main driving idea of the present study was the comparison between two different chemical modifications of hyaluronic acid (HA) followed by the development of nanocomposite hydrogels directly in situ by biomineralization of photocrosslinkable HA polymers through sol-gel synthesis. In this way, it has been possible to overcome some limitations due to classical approaches based on the physical blending of inorganic fillers into polymer matrix. To this aim, methacrylated and maleated HA, synthesized with similar degree of substitution (DS) were compared in terms of mechanical and physico-chemical properties. The success of in situ biomineralization was highlighted by reflect Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Furthermore, mechanical characterization demonstrated the reinforcing effect of inorganic fillers evidencing a strong correlation with DS. The swelling behavior resulted to be correlated with filler concentration. Finally, the cytotoxicity tests revealed the absence of toxic components and an increase of cell proliferation over culture time was observed, highlighting these bio-nanocomposite hyaluronan derivatives as biocompatible hydrogel with tunable properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the changing role of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling in intervertebral disc (IVD) health and disease. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed terms 'TGF-β' and 'IVD'. RESULTS TGF-β signaling is necessary for the development and growth of IVD, and can play a protective role in the restoration of IVD tissues by stimulating matrix synthesis, inhibiting matrix catabolism, inflammatory response and cell loss. However, excessive activation of TGF-β signaling is detrimental to the IVD, and inhibition of the aberrant TGF-β signaling can delay IVD degeneration. CONCLUSIONS Activation of TGF-β signaling has a promising treatment prospect for IVD degeneration, while excessive activation of TGF-β signaling may contribute to the progression of IVD degeneration. Studies aimed at elucidating the changing role of TGF-β signaling in IVD at different pathophysiological stages and its specific molecular mechanisms are needed, and these studies will contribute to safe and effective TGF-β signaling-based treatments for IVD degeneration.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of homocysteine inducible endoplasmic reticulum(ER) protein with ubiquitin like domain 1 protein (Herpud1) in the homocysteine (Hcy) -induced phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Methods: VSMCs were derived from thoracic aortic artery of male Sprague Dawley rats and cultured VSMCs (4-7 passage) were treated with various concentrations of Hcy (0, 100, 500 and 1 000 μmol/L) and applied to immunofluorescence to observe the morphological changes of VSMCs via SM-actin staining. Western blot was used to detect the expression of VSMCs phenotypic markers, including Osteopontin, Calponin and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC) and the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) related proteins, including C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP), inositol-requiring kinase 1 (IRE-1) and glucose regulating protein 78 (GRP78) in the absence and presence of non-selective inhibitor of ERS, 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA, 2 mg/ml). The Herpud1 mRNA and protein levels were determined in Hcy-stimulated VSMCs treated with 4-PBA or transfected with specific siRNA targeting Herpud1. Results: Compared with the control group, SM-actin staining results showed that the shape of VSMCs treated with different concentrations of Hcy for 24 hours changed from long fusiform into round form, arrangement of myofilament became irregular and the most significant alteration was found in the 500 μmol/L Hcy group. After intervention of 24 hours, various concentration of Hcy increased protein expression of Osteopontin, and reduced Calponin and SM-MHC protein expressions in VSMCs (all P<0.05). In addition, the results showed that Hcy increased the expression of CHOP, IRE-1 and GRP78 in a dose-dependent manner, which could be reversed by 4-PBA treatment (all P<0.05). However, 4-PBA inhibited Hcy induced upregulation of Osteopontin and downregulation of Calponin and SM-MHC, suggesting that ERS was involved in Hcy-induced phenotypic switching of VSMCs. Herpud1 protein was mostly expressed in the cytoplasm and was also expressed in the nucli, both in the control, Hcy and Hcy+4-PBA groups. Moreover, Hcy increased mRNA and protein levels of Herpud1 (P<0.05), whereas treatment with 4-PBA could significantly reduce Hcy-induced upregulation of Herpud1 (P<0.05). Furthermore, knockdown of Herpud1 abrogated the effects of Hcy on VSMCs phenotype markers. Conclusion: Herpud1 plays an important role in Hcy-induced phenotypic switching of VSMCs.

Abstract
Since sorafenib has been first-line molecular-targeted drug for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), clinical studies in the last 10 years failed to confirm that a new molecular-targeted drug or immune checkpoint inhibitor was superior or non-inferior to sorafenib, or approved second-line treatment for patients with the failure of sorafenib. However, many clinical studies published in 2017 have changed people's previous understanding. REFLECT trial showed that as the first-line treatment of advanced HCC, lenvatinib was non-inferior than sorafenib. In addition, RESORCE trial and CheckMate-040 trial confirmed respectively that regorafenib and PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab were options of second-line treatment for patients with advanced HCC after sorafenib treatment. The development of these drugs will bring a new prospect for advanced HCC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sero-positivity of Babesia infection in voluntary blood donors in Jiangsu region, so as to provide the evidence for transfusion safety. METHODS A total of 950 blood samples were collected from voluntary blood donors in Jiangsu Provincial Blood Center from February to May, 2017, and detected by double antigen sandwich ELISA targeting peptides derived from B. microti-secreted antigen 1 (BmSA1). The positive samples were confirmed by microscopy and nested-PCR to determine parasitemia. The prevalence of anti-BmSA1 was analyzed between/among different genders, ages and occupations of the blood donors. RESULTS Of the 950 blood screened samples, 5 were positive for anti-BmSA1, and the sero-prevalence of Babesia infection was 0.53%. The 5 samples were all negative by microscopy and nested-PCR. There were no gender- (χ2 = 0.01, P =0.92) or age-specific differences (χ2 = 0.11, P = 0.95) in the sero-prevalence of Babesia infection; however, there was an occupation-specific difference detected in the sero-prevalence of Babesia infection (χ2 = 11.93, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Babesia infection is detected in voluntary blood donors in Jiangsu region, which should be paid much attention.

Abstract
The combination of multiple observational probes has long been advocated as a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, in particular dark energy. The Dark Energy Survey has measured 207 spectroscopically confirmed type Ia supernova light curves, the baryon acoustic oscillation feature, weak gravitational lensing, and galaxy clustering. Here we present combined results from these probes, deriving constraints on the equation of state, w, of dark energy and its energy density in the Universe. Independently of other experiments, such as those that measure the cosmic microwave background, the probes from this single photometric survey rule out a Universe with no dark energy, finding w=-0.80_{-0.11}^{+0.09}. The geometry is shown to be consistent with a spatially flat Universe, and we obtain a constraint on the baryon density of Ω_{b}=0.069_{-0.012}^{+0.009} that is independent of early Universe measurements. These results demonstrate the potential power of large multiprobe photometric surveys and pave the way for order of magnitude advances in our constraints on properties of dark energy and cosmology over the next decade.

Anal fistula plug vs rectal advancement flap for the treatment of complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas: a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies with long-term follow-up. Colorectal Dis 2019; 21:502-515.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to compare the effectiveness of the anal fistula plug (AFP) with the rectal advancement flap (RAF) for complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas. METHODS We conducted a literature search to identify relevant available articles published without language restriction from Embase and PubMed databases and the Cochrane Library. Studies comparing outcomes with the AFP vs RAF for complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas were eligible for inclusion. RESULTS A total of 11 articles with 810 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Four RCTs and one observational clinical study provided long-term follow-up. The pooled analysis of all 11 studies indicated that there was no significant difference between the AFP and RAF in terms of healing rate, recurrence rate and incidence of fistula complications. However, the pooled results of studies with long-term follow-up revealed that the RAF group had a significantly higher healing rate (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.13, 0.78, P = 0.01) and lower recurrence rate (OR 4.45, 95% CI 1.45, 13.65, P = 0.009) than the AFP group. CONCLUSIONS For the treatment of complex cryptoglandular anal fistulas, the RAF was superior to the AFP in terms of healing and recurrence rate after pooling of randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up, even though a comparison based on the pooling of all studies showed no significant difference.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a 3.7 kW all fiber narrow linewidth single mode fiber laser. The full width at half-maximum is about 0.30 nm, and the beam quality is Mx2=1.358, My2=1.202 at maximum output power. The laser is achieved by simultaneously suppressing nonlinear effects and mode instability (MI). Different seeds are injected into the main amplifier to study stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effect. The results show that the phase modulated single frequency seed is benefit to suppress the SRS effect. For the phase modulated single frequency seed, inserting a filter in preamplifier will suppress amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and decrease the backward power. By optimizing the coiling of active fiber, the MI effect is suppressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) has been reported to increase survival of critically ischemic skin flaps; however, the effect of BTXA in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) remains to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of BTXA in HDMECs exposed to an in vitro model of ischemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS HDMECs were isolated from human upper eyelid tissue and were randomly divided into 3 groups: 1. CONTROL GROUP culture under normoxic conditions (95% air and 5% CO2); 2. hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) group: culture in a hypoxic incubator (94% N2 + 5% CO2 + 5% O2) for 8 hours, followed by culture in saturated aerobic culture medium for 24 hours; and 3. BTXA group: treatment with BTXA for 12 hours before exposure to hypoxic conditions. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptosis of HDMECs, and western blotting was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. RESULTS H/R leads to severe injury in HDMECs, as evidenced by an increase in the percentage of apoptosis and an increase in expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, cleaved-caspase-3, and cytochrome C). Moreover, H/R results in a decrease in expression of anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2), which can be significantly attenuated with BTXA treatment. CONCLUSION BTXA protects against apoptosis in HDMECs exposed to an in vitro model of H/R-induced injury.

Abstract
We propose a new simple approximate solution to the two-state rate equation model for analyzing decay signals of saturation cavity ring-down spectrometry in the adiabatic and low-saturation regime. It helps obtain baseline-immune Doppler-free spectra for hyperfine transitions and linear absorption coefficients of a gas in the saturation regime. To demonstrate it, a baseline-immune Lamb dip spectrum of the R1A2 transitions in the 2v2 + v3 band of methane was recorded. The line position was determined to be 6 076.108 457 7(11) cm-1, the relative uncertainty being 1.8 × 10-10.
