Abstract
ObjectivesDry-aging is a traditional butchery process, but currently, it has been more practiced in a niche market as a value-adding process. As dry aging involves placing primal/sub-primal sections under a controlled refrigerated condition without packaging materials, the formation of the dried surface (crust) is inevitable due to moisture evaporation. A considerable portion of the crust is to be trimmed off as waste, which is one of the major drawbacks of dry aging. While the beef crust may still exert its functional/technological properties, no information is available regarding the efficacy of utilizing beef crust as a potential food ingredient. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the physicochemical and functional properties of beef crust from dry-aged beef loins processed under various dry-aging conditions.Materials and MethodsPaired bone-in beef shell loins from 13 cull cow carcasses (C-maturity) were obtained at 5d postmortem, divided into 2 sections and assigned to four aging treatments: wet-aging (WA), dry-aging (DA), dry-aging in water-permeable bag (DWA) and dry-aging under UV-light (UDA; 5 J/s/12 h per day). Beef sections were aged for 28d at 2°C, 65% RH and 0.8 m/s air flow. After aging, the crusts were separated and beef samples from WA and initial (aged for 0 d, INI) were collected for comparison. In three independent batches, the crust samples were freeze-dried and powdered. Moisture contents of samples were measured before lyophilization. Emulsification capacity, salt-soluble protein solubility, emulsifying activity index, and surface hydrophobicity were determined. CIE* color attributes, lipid oxidation (TBARS), and protein oxidation (carbonyl and thiol contents) were measured. The PROC MIXED procedure of SAS was used to analyze the data. Significance level of least square means was set at the confidence level of 95%.ResultsBeef crusts from dry-aged loins had lower moisture contents compared with WA and INI (P < 0.05), while no difference between dry-aging methods was found (P > 0.05). The crust samples had lower L* and chroma values than WA and INI (P < 0.05). Emulsification capacity of DA, DWA, and UDA were lower than WA and INI (P < 0.05), with DA being the lowest (P < 0.05). In general, the crust had a significantly higher salt-soluble protein solubility compared to WA, while no difference between crusts and INI was found (P > 0.05). For emulsifying activity index, DA exhibited higher values than DWA, UDA and WA (P < 0.05), and was comparable to INI (P > 0.05). DA and INI had higher surface hydrophobicity values than the other samples, which could possibly explain the results of emulsifying activity index. A trend of higher TBARS values was found in all dry-aged crusts than WA and INI (P = 0.0688). The crust from dry aging had a higher carbonyl content compared to WA (P < 0.05), while thiol contents were not affected by the treatment (P = 0.1092).ConclusionThe results from the current study indicate that beef crusts exert its functional and technological properties, which could be superior or at least equivalent to wet-aged or unaged beef samples. This study provides novel insight into the potential feasibility and utilization of beef crust from dry-aged beef as a value-added product. Further studies determining the practical application of beef crust as a novel food ingredient (e.g., meat emulsion or beef patty) are in progress.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) represent a major burden of disease and death and their differential diagnosis is critical. A potential source of relevant accessible biomarkers are blood-borne small extracellular vesicles (sEVs).
Methods
We performed an extracellular vesicle array to find proteins on plasma sEVs that are differentially expressed and possibly allow the differential diagnosis between CAP and AECOPD. Plasma samples were analyzed from 21 healthy controls, 24 patients with CAP, and 10 with AECOPD . The array contained 40 antibodies to capture sEVs, which were then visualized with a cocktail of biotin-conjugated CD9, CD63, and CD81 antibodies.
Results
We detected significant differences in the protein decoration of sEVs between healthy controls and patients with CAP or AECOPD. We found CD45 and CD28 to be the best discrimination markers between CAP and AECOPD in receiver operating characteristic analyses, with an area under the curve >0.92. Additional ensemble feature selection revealed the possibility to distinguish between CAP and AECOPD even if the patient with CAP had COPD, with a panel of CD45, CD28, CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4), tumor necrosis factor–R-II, and CD16.
Conclusion
The discrimination of sEV-associated proteins is a minimally invasive method with potential to discriminate between CAP and AECOPD.

A Traditional Chinese Patent Medicine ZQMT for Neovascular Age- Related Macular Degeneration: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial. Curr Mol Med 2019; 18:622-629.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-VEGF agent ranibizumab has been extensively used as a standard treatment for wet AMD. We investigated whether traditional Chinese medicine could serve as a complementary therapy for this disease. METHODS 144 patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration received either intravitreal ranibizumab treatment as needed plus placebo or intravitreal ranibizumab treatment as needed plus an FDA approved traditional Chinese patent medicine named ZQMT. Both groups received treatment for 24 weeks. The primary outcome was the mean change of visual acuity at week 24 as compared to the baseline. RESULTS We found that intravitreal ranibizumab treatment plus ZQMT was non-inferior to the treatment with intravitreal ranibizumab alone in improving visual acuity scores at week 24 with patients in both groups who gained substantial numbers of letters. In addition, we found that ZQMT treatment resulted in significant improvements in reducing retinal hemorrhage, fluid, and lesion size. Importantly, administration of ZQMT reduced the number of needed ranibizumab injections (P<0.0001, analysis of variance) in wet AMD patients leading to a significant reduction of drug cost. CONCLUSION The combinatory therapy of ranibizumab and traditional Chinese patent medicine ZQMT had equivalent effects on visual acuity improvement and safety profiles as the ranibizumab treatment alone. Ranibizumab injections coupled with ZQMT offer therapeutic advantages in terms of reduction of retinal lesions and ease the financial burden of patients undergoing treatment by reducing the frequency of necessary ranibizumab injections.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Dysregulated cholesterol metabolism is a hallmark of many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM), but its role in disease progression is not well understood. Here, we identified cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1), a brain-specific enzyme responsible for elimination of cholesterol through conversion of cholesterol to 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol (24OHC), as one of the most dramatically dysregulated cholesterol metabolism genes in GBM.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Molecular and clinical data was obtained from publicly genomic databases. Immunohistochemistry was applied to assess protein levels of CYP46A1 in primary GBM samples. Lentiviral constructs expressing CYP46A1 were transduced into LN229, LN18 and primary GBM GSCs for functional assays carried out in vitro and in vivo in an orthotopic xenograft model. RNA-seq was performed to identify downstream targets of 24OHC.
RESULTS
CYP46A1 was significantly decreased in GBM samples compared to normal brain tissue. Reduced CYP46A1 expression was associated with increasing tumour grade and poor prognosis in GBM patients. Ectopic expression of CYP46A1 suppressed cell proliferation and in vivo tumour growth by increasing 24OHC levels. Treatment of GBM cells with 24OHC suppressed tumour growth through regulation of LXR and SREBP signalling. Efavirenz (EFV), an activator of CYP46A1 with BBB penetration, inhibited GBM growth in vivo.
CONCLUSION
Our findings demonstrate that CYP46A1 is a critical regulator of cellular cholesterol in GBM and that the CYP46A1/24OHC axis is a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Glioblastoma (GBM) cell infiltration into the surrounding normal brain tissue where the blood brain barrier is intact, represents a major problem for clinical management and therapy. There is a vital need to understand the molecular mechanism that drives tumor cell invasion into the surrounding brain. We have previously developed a 3D coculture model where mature brain organoids are confronted with patient-derived glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). In such a coculture system, single cell invasion into the normal brain tissue can be studied in detail. Here, we first describe in detail, by RNA-seq and proteomics, the differentiation of various neural cell lineages into mature brain organoids as well as their cellular organization. By real-time confocal microscopy and imaging analyses we also determine the speed of tumor cell invasion into the brain. Finally, we used this coculture system to delineate in detail the cellular heterogeneity within the invasive compartment and their gene expression.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to determine the expression and distribution of mature neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia within the brain organoids. Proteomics and RNA-seq were used to determine brain development ex-vivo. To assess the clonal composition of the GBM-invasive compartment, we used cellular (RGB) barcoding technology. By advanced imaging, we tracked in real time the invasion of barcoded cells into the brain organoids. Finally, we isolated invasive cells and non-invasive cells from our coculture system and used single cell sequencing to analyze their gene expression profiles and molecular phenotypes.
RESULTS
Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence showed that brain organoids, after 21 days of differentiation, display a highly cellular and structural organization. RNA-seq and proteomics, performed at different time points of organoid differentiation, revealed that the brain organoids develop into mature brain structures after 21 days as verified by a comparative analysis to normal rat brain development in vivo. Imaging analyses showed that multiple clones within the GBMs have the capacity to invade into the brain tissue with an average speed of ~ 20 μm/h. RNA-sec analysis of the invasive compartment revealed a strong up-regulation of genes and pathways associated with anaerobic respiration (glycolysis).
CONCLUSION
We describe a highly standardized brain organoid coculture system that can be used to delineate GBM invasion ex-vivo. We demonstrate that this platform can be used to unravel the mechanisms that drive GBM invasion into the normal brain.

Abstract
HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) reduction is well observed in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PegIFNα). However, the mechanism of HBsAg suppression has not been fully elucidated. Twenty-seven of 55 entecavir-treated CHB e antigen positive patients were switched to PegIFNα treatment (Group A) whereas 28 patients continued entecavir treatment (Group B). The percentage or absolute number of CD56bright /CD56dim NK cells, expression of receptors and cytokines were evaluated by flow cytometry for 48 weeks and correlated with treatment efficacy. In vitro, purified NK cells were co-cultured with HepAD38 cells for measurement of HBsAg, apoptosis and covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). In association with a reduction of HBsAg, the percentage and absolute number of CD56bright NK cells was significantly elevated in patients in group A, especially in Virologic Responders (VRs, HBsAg decreased). Furthermore, the percentage of NKp30+ , NKp46+ , TRAIL+ , TNF-α+ and IFNγ+ CD56bright NK cells were significantly expanded in Group A, which were positively correlated with the decline of HBsAg at week 48. In vitro, peripheral NK cells from Group A induced a decline of HBsAg in comparison with NK cells from Group B which was significantly inhibited by anti-TRAIL, anti-TNF-α and anti-IFNγ antibodies. Furthermore, apoptosis of HepAD38 cells and levels of cccDNA, were significantly reduced by TRAIL+ and TNF-α+ /IFNγ+ NK cells from Group A, respectively. A functional restoration of CD56bright NK cells in entecavir-treated patients who were switched to PegIFNα contributes to HBsAg and cccDNA clearance through TRAIL-induced cytolysis and TNF-α/IFNγ-mediated noncytolytic pathways.

Abstract
Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and malignant neoplasm, and meticulous evaluation of potential recipients is needed to minimize risks of complications after transplantation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of preoperative assessments and document the importance of timed and detailed examinations. METHODS Medical records of patients evaluated as kidney transplant candidates from January 2015 to September 2017 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. RESULTS Of the 216 patients evaluated during the study period, 135 (62.5%) were male, 112 (51.9%) had diabetes mellitus, 163 (75.5%) had hypertension, 31 (14.4%) had a cardiovascular event history, and 7 (3.2%) had previous history of malignant neoplasms. Mean (SD) patient age was 50.7 (10.8) years. All 216 recipient candidates underwent echocardiography. Mean (SD) ejection fraction was 57.8% (5.9%), and 48 candidates (22.2%) showed regional wall motional abnormality. Coronary angiography was performed on 81 candidates, and in 57 (70.4%) of these, coronary artery disease was detected. Malignant neoplasms were detected in 10 (4.6%) candidates. Kidney transplantation was performed on 55 candidates. One recipient died of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia at 15 months after kidney transplant, but there was no death-censored graft failure, newly detected malignant neoplasm, or cardiovascular event over a mean (SD) follow-up duration of 15.5 (8.6) months. CONCLUSION Evaluation of kidney transplant candidates resulted in diagnoses of malignant neoplasms in 4.6% of patients and coronary artery disease in 26.4% of patients. The results of this study demonstrate candidates for kidney transplant should undergo detailed preoperative evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Arterial spin-labeling with multiple postlabeling delays can correct transit times. We tried to evaluate CBF in neonates and infants using multidelay arterial spin-labeling. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multidelay arterial spin-labeling was applied to 13 preterm neonates (mean postmenstrual age, 34.9 weeks), 13 term-equivalent-age neonates (mean postmenstrual age, 39.2 weeks), and 6 infants (mean postmenstrual age, 57.8 weeks). Transit time-corrected CBF in the caudate, thalamus, frontal GM, occipital GM, frontal WM, and occipital WM was measured, and relative CBF compared with the whole-brain CBF was calculated. Inter- and intragroup comparisons were performed among the 3 age groups. A correlation and nonlinear regression analysis were performed between postmenstrual age and CBF. RESULTS Intergroup comparisons showed significantly higher whole-brain CBF in infants (38.3 mL/100 g/min) compared with preterm (15.5 mL/100 g/min) and term-equivalent-age (18.3 mL/100 g/min) neonates (P < .001). In the intragroup comparison, all 3 groups showed significantly higher relative CBF values in the occipital WM (63.6%-90.3%) compared with the frontal WM (46.3%-73.9%). In term-equivalent-age neonates, the occipital GM (120.8%) had significantly higher relative CBF values than the frontal GM (103.5%). There was a significant negative correlation between postmenstrual age and the relative CBF of the thalamus (r = - 0.449, P = .010). There were significant positive relationships between postmenstrual age and the relative CBF of the frontal WM (R 2 = 0.298, P = .001) and occipital WM (R 2 = 0.452, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Multidelay arterial spin-labeling with transit time-corrected CBF showed developmental changes and regional differences of CBF in neonates and infants.

Abstract
AIM To determine true negatives and characterise the variables associated with false-negative results when interpreting non-malignant results of computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine hundred and fifty patients with initial non-malignant findings on their first transthoracic CT-guided core-needle biopsy (TTNB) were included in the study. Initial biopsy results were compared to definitive diagnoses established later. RESULTS The negative predictive value (NPV) of non-malignant diseases upon initial TTNB was 83.6%. When the biopsy results indicated specific infection or benign tumour (n=225, 26.1%), they all were confirmed true negative for malignancy later. Only one inconclusive "granuloma" diagnosis was false negative. All 141 patients (141/861, 16.4%) who were false negative for malignancy were from the "infection not otherwise specified (NOS)", "inflammatory diseases", or "inconclusive" groups. Age (p=0.002), cancer history (p<0.001), target size (p=0.003), and pneumothorax during lung biopsy (p=0.003) were found to be significant predictors of false-negative results; 47.6% (410/861) of patients underwent additional invasive examinations to reach a final diagnosis. Ultimately, 52.7% (216/410) were successfully diagnosed. CONCLUSION Specific infection, benign tumour, and granulomatous inflammation of first TTNBs were mostly true negative. Older age, history of cancer, larger target size, and pneumothorax were highly predictive of false-negative results for malignancies. In such cases, additional invasive examinations were frequently necessary to obtain final diagnoses.

Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting Incidence of Early Allograft Dysfunction Following Liver Transplantation. Transplant Proc 2018; 49:1357-1363.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) is frequent complication post-liver transplantation and is closely related to recipient's mortality and morbidity. We sought to develop a nomogram for predicting incidence of EAD. METHODS Based on multivariate analysis of donor, recipient, and operation data of 199 liver transplants from deceased donors between 2013 and 2015, we identified 5 significant risk factors for EAD to build a nomogram. The model was subjected to prospective validation with a cohort of 42 patients who was recruited between January and June 2016. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability were measured by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The agreement between nomogram prediction and actual observation was showed by the calibration curve. RESULTS Incidence rate of EAD in the training set and validation cohort were 55.91% (104/199) and 54.76% (23/42), respectively. In the training set, according to the results of univariable and multivariable analysis, 5 independent risk factors including donor gender, donor serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase level, donor serum urea level, donor comorbidities (respiratory, cardiac, and renal dysfunction), and recipient Model for End-stage Liver Disease score were identified and assembled into the nomogram. The AUC of internal validation using bootstrap resampling and prospective validation using the external cohort of 42 patients was 0.74 and 0.60, respectively. The calibration curves for probability of EAD showed acceptable agreement between nomogram prediction and actual observation. According to the score table, the probability of EAD was under 30% when the total point tally was under 72. But when the total was up to 139, the risk of EAD increased to 60%. CONCLUSION We've established and validated a nomogram that can provide individual prediction of EAD for liver transplant recipients. The practical prognostic model may help clinicians to qualify the liver graft accurately, making a more reasonable allocation of organs.
