Abstract
Ag/TiO2 composite fabric was prepared by coprecipitation with TiCl4 as a titanium source and AgNO3 as a silver source. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analyzer (TG) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The photocatalytic activity of synthetic fabrics was measured by the degradation of anion dyes under ultraviolet light. The effects of silver loading concentration, fabric area, initial concentration, and photocatalytic time on photocatalytic activity were investigated. The experimental results showed that the degradation rate of Ag/TiO2 composite fabric on anion dyes could reach 70.76% in 50 minutes, indicating that the prepared Ag/TiO2 composite fabrics had high photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is among the most common frequent chronic metabolic bone diseases in postmenopausal women. Here, the effect and underlying mechanisms of miR-195-5p in OP were investigated both in vivo and in vitro. In this study, the microgravity (MG) environment was simulated in MC3T3-E1 cells, and miR-195-5p overexpression or SMURF1 knockdown model was constructed to test their effects on the proliferation, apoptosis and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, an OVX mouse model was constructed in vivo, and adenovirus-loaded miR-195-5p mimics were administered to the mice to overexpress miR-195-5p. HE staining and µCT were adopted to observe pathological changes of femur. The targeted relationship between miR-195-5p and SMURF1 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and verified by the dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiment. The results indicated that miR-195-5p was down-regulated in the head of femur of OP mouse model and MC3T3-E1 cells subjected to MG microenvironment. In addition, overexpression of miR-195-5p promoted MC3T3-E1 cell osteogenic differentiation and inhibited apoptosis. Mechanistically, SMURF1 is identified as a target of miR-195-5p, and overexpressing miR-195-5p activates the BMP-2/SMAD/Akt/RUNX2 signal by inhibiting the SMURF1 expression. Moreover, SMURF1 downregulation accelerated the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and attenuated MG-mediated apoptosis. In addition, upregulating miR-195-5p reduced osteoporosis in the OVX mouse model, accompanied with SMURF1 downregulation and BMP-2/SMAD/Akt/RUNX2 pathway activation. Collectively, miR-195-5p enhances osteogenic differentiation of osteoclast and relieve OP progression in the mouse model through activation of the BMP-2/SMAD/Akt/RUNX2 axis by targeting SMURF1.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy, advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic CO2 laser cauterization (ECLC) and open neck surgery in the treatment of congenital pyriform sinus fistula (CPSF). Methods: From September 2014 to March 2017, 80 cases with confirmed diagnosis of CPSF received initial treatment at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were prospectively analyzed, including 34 males and 46 females, aged 18 to 672 (194.17±141.18) months. They were consecutively divided into endoscopic group and open-surgery group, with 40 cases in each group. Both groups of patients received surgical treatment under general anesthesia. The endoscopic group was treated by endoscopic CO2 laser cauterization, and the open-surgery group underwent the following surgery: first, we performed suspension laryngoscopy examination to confirm the presence of fistula in the bottom of the piriform fossa, then open-neck resection of congenital piriform sinus fistula with recurrent laryngeal nerve and/or lateral branch of superior laryngeal nerve anatomy plus partial thyroidectomy were performed. The data between the two groups were compared, including the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain, average length of stay, neck cosmetic scores, complications and cure rates. All patients were followed up in outpatient clinics. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 software. P<0.05 indicates that the difference is statistically significant. Results: All patients were successfully completed the operation. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain and average length of hospital stay in the endoscopic group were significantly less than those in the open group [(27.4±5.5) min to (105.8±52.5) min, (0.6±0.5) ml to (33.6±41.5) ml, (1.7±0.9) points to (4.6±0.7) points, (5.9±2.9)d to(8.9±3.3)d, t values were-9.400, -5.031, -16.199, -4.293, P values were all<0.01]; The neck cosmetic score in the endoscopy group was significantly greater than that of the open group [(9.9±0.4) against (5.8±0.9) points, t=25.847, P<0.01]. Compared with the open group (15.0%, 6/40), the complication rate of the endoscopic group (7.5%, 3/40) was not statistically significant (χ²=0.50, P>0.05). Three months after the first treatment, the cure rate in the endoscopic group (82.5%, 33/40) was significantly lower than that in the open-neck group (100.0%, 40/40), χ²=5.64, P<0.05. The follow-up time was 12 months after the last treatment. Eighty cases were followed up and none was lost to follow-up. During the follow-up period, the cure rate of the endoscopy group (97.5%, 39/40) was compared with that of the open group (100.0%, 40/40), and the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: In the treatment of CPSF, the two-surgical method each has their advantages. Compared with open-neck surgery, ECLC is simpler, repeatable. ECLC has shorter time in operation and hospital stay, less complications, and less postoperative pain and more precise cosmetic results. It could be preferred for the initial treatment of CPSF and relapsed cases after cauterization. But subject to relatively low cure rate of one-time cauterization and uncertain long-term efficacy, it cannot completely replace the open-neck surgery at present.

Abstract
Recent evidence has demonstrated that Sinomenine (SIN) exerts antitumor activity in vitro. However, the clinical utility of SIN remains limited mainly because of its poor bioavailability. Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles that play crucial roles in intracellular communications through functionally active substances such as DNA and RNA. Exosomes have been utilized as nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery of different anticancer drugs. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combined Exosomes-SIN for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a rat model. To do so, we prepared a mixture of SIN and exosomes (Exo-SIN) to improve the bioavailability of SIN to treat liver cancer. The in vitro release profile of the Exo-SIN was examined. We observed a continuous, slow release of SIN from Exo-SIN in simulated body fluid as well as tumor microenvironment. In the cytotoxicity test, Exo-SIN exhibited a significantly stronger inhibition in HepG2 cells, compared to free SIN. The flow cytometry assessments showed that Exo-SIN could suppress HepG2 cell migration in a Transwell assay and induce cell cycle arrest and cellular apoptosis. Western blotting showed that survivin, a crucial protein for survival of living cells, was significantly downregulated after treatment with Exo-SIN. In conclusion, our data suggest that Exo-SIN could serve as a potential, effective delivery platform for hepatic carcinoma therapy.

Abstract
We use a relativistic ionization front to provide various initial transverse wakefield amplitudes for the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in plasma. We show experimentally that, with sufficient initial amplitude [≥(4.1±0.4) MV/m], the phase of the modulation along the bunch is reproducible from event to event, with 3%-7% (of 2π) rms variations all along the bunch. The phase is not reproducible for lower initial amplitudes. We observe the transition between these two regimes. Phase reproducibility is essential for deterministic external injection of particles to be accelerated.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the willingness to accept peer-referral strategies for promoting HIV testing and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shijiazhuang. Methods: A total of 544 MSM were recruited using convenient sampling and sharing two-dimensional code of online questionnaire througth MSM social organizations in Shijiazhuang from August to September in 2018. The anonymous online survey were taken by login through the website "jinshuju.com" (https://im.jinshuju.com/users/sign_in). The information collected included: the demographic and behavioral characteristics, the attitude to HIV testing for partners, and the willingness to accept peer-referral strategies for promoting HIV testing. The socio-demographic characteristics were analyzed by χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the related factors associated with willingness. The SAS 9.4 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 521 MSM completed the survey. Among them 59.50% (310/521) were willing to advise their partners to receive HIV testing, and 90.02% (469/521) were willing to accept the partners' advice of HIV testing. Higher HIV testing frequency for once a year (aOR=2.72,95%CI:1.42-5.20); for once a half year (aOR=5.72, 95%CI:2.97-11.02); for ≥1 time a quarter (aOR=8.76,95%CI:4.56-16.83), enquiring their partners' HIV status (aOR=1.94, 95%CI: 1.15-3.28) and STD history of their partners (aOR=1.83, 95%CI:1.06-3.14) before having sex were the factors positively associated with the willingness to advise partners to receive HIV testing. Discussing HIV testing with partners (aOR=4.43,95%CI:1.87-10.54) was the factor positively associated with the desire to accept the advice of HIV testing from partners, but feeling emotional hurt by the suggestion of HIV testing (aOR=0.35,95%CI:0.15-0.82) was the factor negatively associated with the willingness to accept the advice of HIV testing from partners. Conclusion: To improve the willingess of MSM to advise their partners to receive HIV testing and strengthen self-protection awareness and equal communication skills are essential for the success of peer-referral strategies for promoting HIV testing among MSM.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) have potential as drug-delivery vehicles and exhibit great promise for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy. Here, we consider bone mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) as drug carriers to encase anticancer drug norcantharidin (NCTD) and explore their potential therapeutic effects against HCC. NCTD was loaded into purified exosomes from BMSCs via electroporation, and an in vitro drug release study showed that BMSC-Exos-NCTD provided a continuous and slow release of the drug. A series of in vitro and in vivo pharmacodynamic evaluations based on the HCC cell line HepG2 were conducted. The results showed that the BMSC-Exos-NCTD delivery system effectively promoted cellular uptake, induced cell cycle arrest, reduced tumor cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, and exerted obvious in vivo antitumor effects compared with the NCTD treatment alone, with BMSC-Exos-NCTD showing more significant antitumor effects. Furthermore, the in vivo detection results of the homing effect using the probe Cy5.5 showed that the BMSC-Exos carrier has an in situ homing effect on the tumor sites of HCC in mice. Moreover, BMSC-Exos-NCTD did not show body toxicity. Excitedly, BMSC-Exos-NCTD repaired damaged liver tissues in liver sections; specifically, the experimental effectiveness of the exosomes on the normal liver cell line L02 indicated that the damaged liver cells were repaired by the exosomes, as reflected by the increase in cellular proliferation and the inhibition of liver cell oxidation. Our results suggest that BMSC-Exos, as drug carriers with specific functions, have great potential in the HCC treatment in combination with anticancer drugs.

Abstract
We study experimentally the effect of linear plasma density gradients on the self-modulation of a 400 GeV proton bunch. Results show that a positive or negative gradient increases or decreases the number of microbunches and the relative charge per microbunch observed after 10 m of plasma. The measured modulation frequency also increases or decreases. With the largest positive gradient we observe two frequencies in the modulation power spectrum. Results are consistent with changes in wakefields' phase velocity due to plasma density gradients adding to the slow wakefields' phase velocity during self-modulation growth predicted by linear theory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) CCAT1 and potential functions in promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, via miRNA-218 in human adult Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs). PATIENTS AND METHODS CCAT1 expressions in Periodontal Ligament Cells (PDLCs), DPSCs, differentiated main population (MP) cells and stem-cell-enriched Side Population (SP) cells in DPSCs were detected by qRT-PCR. MTT assay and ELISA assay were performed to evaluate the DPSCs cell proliferation and differentiation. The correlation between miR-218 and CCAT1 was detected by statistical analysis. The bioinformatics and luciferase assay were performed to explore the interaction and binding site of CCAT1 and miR-218. RESULTS Results showed the CCAT1 expression was up-regulated in DPSCs cells. And the expression level in MP cell was higher than SP cell. MTT assay and showed overexpression CCAT1 significantly increased cell proliferation of DPSCs. ELISA assay showed the expressions of collagen I, Osteopontin (OPN) and Osteocalcin (OCN) were significantly increased in DPSCs compared with control (p<0.05). The bioinformatics and luciferase assay showed that the CCAT1 directly interacted with miR-218. In addition, miR-218 expression was negatively correlated with CCAT1 expression in DPSCs CONCLUSIONS: For the first time, we found that lncRNA-CCAT1 was upregulated in DPSCs, which could promote cell proliferation and differentiation by repressing the expression of miR-218.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the genotypes and phenotypes of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in Xinjiang Uygur children. Methods: The history of nine Uygur children with OI who were hospitalized in First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. They were classified into 4 types according to the classical Sillence classification. The genes associated with OI were detected, and the pathogenic variation was assessed by InterVar and Alamut software according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommendations. The phenotypes of children with different genotypes were further analyzed. Results: Nine cases aged 3 years and 6 monthes to 15 years were all clinically diagnosed as OI, the clinical manifes tations were repeated fractures, skeletal deformities,short stature, blue sclera, abnormol hearing, hypoplasia of dentin, and relaxation of Joint ligaments, among whom 6 was type Ⅲ OI, 3 were type Ⅳ OI. Nine mutations in 3 genes (COL1A1, COL1A2, and SERPINF1) were detected, and 5 of them were first reported and were all pathogenic variations. Conclusions: The cinical phenotypes of osteogenesis imperfecta in Xinjiang Uygur are complex and varied, but all of them have fractures and skeletal deformities. Genotype is different from that reported at China and abroad, and the SERPINF1 gene may have a higher incidence in Uyghur population. The genetic heterogeneity and unique gene variation pedigree of Uyghur osteogenesis imperfecta defects further provide a basis for the correlation between genotype and phenotype of osteogenesis defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The autophagy pathway is a critical process in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and can be regulated by uncoordinated 51-like kinase 1 (ULK1). We investigated the associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ULK1 and risk of tuberculosis (TB) in a Chinese Han population. DESIGN We recruited 380 pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) cases, 242 extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases and 606 healthy controls from a Chinese Han population and sequenced ULK1. Five SNPs in ULK1 were selected to investigate the correlations between ULK1 polymorphisms and TB susceptibility. RESULTS The rs7138581 C allele was associated with a reduced risk of PTB (P = 0.001), whereas the rs9481 A allele was associated with an increased risk (P = 0.025). The rs7138581 CG genotype was significantly associated with a low risk of PTB, with a higher PTB disease severity in clinical parameters. Estimation of haplotype frequencies in ULK1 revealed a protective haplotype CCGAA (P = 0.007) and a potential risk haplotype TGAAA (P = 0.010) for PTB. CONCLUSION These results demonstrated that ULK1 polymorphisms have significant associations with susceptibility to PTB.
