Abstract
The absolute branching fraction of Λ→pμ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ} is reported for the first time based on an e^{+}e^{-} annihilation sample of 10×10^{9} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at sqrt[s]=3.097 GeV. The branching fraction is determined to be B(Λ→pμ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ})=[1.48±0.21(stat)±0.08(syst)]×10^{-4}, which is improved by about 30% in precision over the previous indirect measurements. Combining this result with the world average of B(Λ→pe^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}), we obtain the ratio {[Γ(Λ→pμ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ})]/[Γ(Λ→pe^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e})]} to be 0.178±0.028, which agrees with the standard model prediction assuming lepton flavor universality. The asymmetry of the branching fractions of Λ→pμ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ} and Λ[over ¯]→p[over ¯]μ^{+}ν_{μ} is also determined, and no evidence for CP violation is found.

Abstract
Er3+-doped NaLa(WO4)2 is a promising phosphor material for applications in many fields including the ratiometric thermometry based on thermal effect of fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of green fluorescence of Er3+, which is directly correlated with Judd-Ofelt parameters Ωi (i = 2, 4, 6). Present paper reports synthesis and Judd-Ofelt spectroscopic properties of Er3+-doped NaLa(WO4)2 µm-sized phosphor. The phosphor was synthesized by solid-state chemical reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering techniques. The results show that the phosphor is dominated by NaLa(WO4)2 crystalline phase and has a maximum phonon energy 927 cm-1. Judd-Ofelt analysis was done for the phosphor using a safe, reliable method based on diffuse reflection spectrum and Er3+ 1.5 μm fluorescence lifetime. First, diffuse reflection spectrum of the phosphor was measured and relative absorption spectrum was calibrated from it using Kubelka-Munk theory. Second, Er3+ 1.5 μm fluorescence lifetime of the phosphor was measured and absorption cross-section spectrum was obtained based on the assumption that the 1.5 μm emission has 100% quantum efficiency. Finally, based on the absorption cross-section spectrum, standard Judd-Ofelt analysis was carried out to extract the Ωi. Radiative rate, fluorescent branch ratio and radiative lifetime of some transitions have been obtained from the known Ωi values. In addition, FIR proportional factor was evaluated in terms of Ωi and compared with those values of other materials. The result shows that the phosphor has a better prospect for the application in ratiometric thermometry.

Abstract
We report a study of the processes of e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}D_{s}^{-}D^{*0} and K^{+}D_{s}^{*-}D^{0} based on e^{+}e^{-} annihilation samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at BEPCII at five center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.628 to 4.698 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 3.7 fb^{-1}. An excess of events over the known contributions of the conventional charmed mesons is observed near the D_{s}^{-}D^{*0} and D_{s}^{*-}D^{0} mass thresholds in the K^{+} recoil-mass spectrum for events collected at sqrt[s]=4.681 GeV. The structure matches a mass-dependent-width Breit-Wigner line shape, whose pole mass and width are determined as (3982.5_{-2.6}^{+1.8}±2.1) MeV/c^{2} and (12.8_{-4.4}^{+5.3}±3.0) MeV, respectively. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The significance of the resonance hypothesis is estimated to be 5.3 σ over the contributions only from the conventional charmed mesons. This is the first candidate for a charged hidden-charm tetraquark with strangeness, decaying into D_{s}^{-}D^{*0} and D_{s}^{*-}D^{0}. However, the properties of the excess need further exploration with more statistics.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical outcomes of different treatment options on singleton short cervix and its influence factors. Methods: Totally 435 cases of singleton pregnancies who were diagnosed with short cervix (≤25 mm) between 12 to 33+6 gestational weeks in Peking University First Hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were enrolled, including 21 cases with cervical length <10 mm, 414 cases with cervical length between 10 to 25 mm. The onset time was <24 gestational weeks in 106 cases, while 104 cases were at 24-29+6 gestational weeks and 225 cases of ≥30 gestational weeks. Gestational outcomes including delivery before 37 weeks, delivery before 34 weeks, neonatal birth weight (NBW) and adverse neonatal outcome (ANO) were compared among three treatment groups: rest group, progesterone group and cerclage group. Influence factors were also investigated. Results: (1) The incidence of short cervix in pregnancy was 7.07% (435/6 155), while 106 cases were at <24 gestational weeks (1.72%, 106/6 155), 104 cases (1.69%, 104/6 155) at 24-29+6 gestational weeks and 225 cases (3.66%, 225/6 155) at ≥30 gestational weeks. (2) In the group of cervical length <10 mm, rate of delivery before 37 and 34 weeks were 62% (13/21) and 57% (12/21) respectively. One case of progesterone treatment underwent miscarriage. Compared with rest group (n=8), delivery weeks [28.5 (25.0-40.0) vs 37.0 (28.0-40.0), P=0.020] and NBW [1 245 g (630-3 830 g) vs 2 648 g (1 560-3 830 g), P=0.028] were higher in cerclage group (n=9), while ANO was not statistically different (P>0.05). (3) In the group of cervical length ≥10 mm before 24 gestational weeks, the delivery weeks, incidence of delivery before 34 weeks, adjusted incidence of delivery before 37 weeks, NBW and ANO were not statistically different (P>0.05) among rest group (n=36), progesterone group (n=26) and cerclage group (n=34). In vitro fertilization (OR=11.97, 95%CI: 1.88-76.44, P=0.009), infection (OR=46.03, 95%CI: 5.12-413.58, P=0.001), sludge on sonography (OR=9.87, 95%CI: 1.69-57.60, P=0.011) and history of short cervix (OR=7.24, 95%CI: 1.04-50.24, P=0.045) were independent risk factors of preterm birth. (4) In the group of cervical length ≥10 mm and gestational weeks between 24-29+6, the delivery weeks, incidence of delivery before 37 weeks, incidence of delivery before 34 weeks, NBW and ANO were not statistically different (P>0.05) among rest group (n=52), progesterone group (n=34) and cerclage group (n=9). Infection was an independent risk factor of preterm birth (OR=56.40, 95%CI: 4.67-680.61, P=0.002). (5) Outcomes of 223 cases were relatively good in the group of cervical length ≥10 mm beyond 30 gestational weeks. The incidence of delivery before 34 weeks was 6.3% (14/223). The delivery weeks, incidence of delivery before 37 and 34 weeks, NBW and ANO were not statistically different (P>0.05) among 3 groups. Infection (OR=10.91, 95%CI: 2.21-53.96, P=0.003) and history of preterm birth (OR=8.63, 95%CI: 1.25-59.65, P=0.029) were independent risk factors of preterm birth. Conclusions: Short cervix is a common complication of pregnancy. Cervical cerclage is related with better outcome for patients with cervical length <10 mm. Neither progesterone nor cervical cerclage improves pregnancy outcome for >10 mm cervical length patients comparing with rest. Infection, sludge, in vitro fertilization, history of short cervix and history of preterm birth are independent risk factors of preterm birth in short cervix pregnancies.

Abstract
Asthma is an inflammatory pulmonary illness that plagues infants and young children. We carried out this investigation to examine the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) RNA component of mitochondrial RNA processing endoribonuclease (RMRP) in an asthmatic mouse model induced by ovalbumin (OVA) and human airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). Eight-week-old mice were sensitized with OVA to simulate pediatric asthma. The expression patterns of RMRP, microRNA-206 (miR-206) and C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) in pulmonary tissues were evaluated by qPCR. In addition, the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected by ELISA. The expression of RMRP and CCL2 was elevated, while miR-206 was reduced in OVA-induced mice. Our findings indicated that administration of RMRP overexpression in ASMCs increased the levels of biomarkers in asthma. RMRP functioned as a sponge for miR-206 to upregulate CCL2 expression. Blockade of the TGF-β/Smad2 signaling pathway in ASMCs overexpressing RMRP suppressed the inflammatory cytokines and cell viability, while enhancing apoptosis. The RMRP/miR-206/CCL2 regulatory axis is implicated in the occurrence of pediatric asthma.

Abstract
Judd-Ofelt (J-O) spectroscopic knowledge of a rare-earth-doped luminescent material is crucial to its application. Although a large number of papers with regard to the J-O study of various rare-earth-doped luminescent materials have been reported each year, few papers presented the errors of the J-O intensity parameters Ωi (i = 2, 4, 6) and radiative probabilities evaluated from them. Present study focuses on the error evaluation of the J-O parameters and radiative probabilities. An error theory is established for the J-O analysis and radiative probability. Two error analysis methods based on root mean square of the difference either between measured and calculated oscillator strengths (δfrms) or between measured and calculated line strengths (δSrms) are studied. Explicit error expressions are presented for the J-O parameters and radiative probability. The validity of the theory is verified by applying it to widely studied Er3+, Tm3+, Ho3+ and Nd3+ ions that are doped into four single-crystals (LiNbO3, SrGdGa3O7, LiYF4 and YVO4) and a glass. The two methods are identical in nature and give similar results of errors of Ωi.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) is a new method for treating submucosal tumor in recent years, which is minimally invasive, with few complications and rapid recovery for patients. This study analyzed the data of patients who underwent this surgery at our hospital and explored the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of this procedure for submucosal tumors.
AIM To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and clinical value of STER in the treatment of submucosal tumors of the esophagus and cardia derived from the muscularis propria.
METHODS Sixty patients who underwent STER for submucosal tumors of the esophagus and cardia derived from the muscularis propria were included. The results of endoscopic ultrasonography, procedure success rate, postoperative complications, postoperative pathological results, and postoperative follow-up data were recorded and analyzed statistically.
RESULTS All of the cases completed the STER, with a success rate of 100%. The diameter of submucosal tumors was 1-5 cm. The operation took 31 to 123 min, and the average operation time was 81.73 min ± 23.23 min. The length of submucosal tunnel was 4-8 cm, with an average value of 5.88 cm ± 1.17 cm. Postoperative pathology confirmed that there were 42 cases of leiomyoma and 18 cases of stromal tumor. Two patients developed subcutaneous emphysema and right-side pneumothorax post operation, who were cured with conservative treatment. All cases were followed for 3 mo without any residual or recurrence of the lesion and no complications such as esophageal stenosis.
CONCLUSION STER is effective in the treatment of submucosal tumors of the esophagus and cardia derived from the muscularis propria, with few complications and high safety.

[PMID: 31924017 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.110512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 11/10/2019] [Accepted: 11/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
980-nm-upconverted 530 and 550 nm Er3+ green fluorescence spectra of Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaGd(WO4)2 submicron crystals were measured in the temperature range of 298-383 K. A sextuple ratiometric thermometry is proposed. It is established on the basis of six schemes of fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) that considers three component peaks of the 530 nm emission band and two component peaks of the 550 nm emission band, which involve electronic transitions between two Stark sublevels of Er3+. The study shows that the phosphor shows strong green fluorescence, which is verified by measured quantum yield, and thermally stable spectral structure desired for the sextuple ratiometric thermometry. All of the six FIR schemes display highly efficient sensing performances with slightly different thermal sensitivities. Each scheme gives a temperature value and the six schemes give an averaged result. In parallel, we have also carried out an ex vivo experimental study on the temperature characteristics of the green fluorescence of the phosphor. Almost same results have been obtained, verifying biological applicability of the phosphor. The ex vivo experimental results also show that the sextuple thermometry increases considerably the accuracy and reliability of temperature measurement in comparison with the conventional intensity integration method.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the prevalence and state of allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, allergic conjunctivitis, and food allergy of students in primary and middle schools of Foshan, and to analyze the characteristics of each disease and correlation of the five diseases, in order to provide epidemiology evidence for management of allergic diseases. Method:Ten primary schools and 10 junior middle schools were sampled from 5 districts of Foshan, then students in grade one and grade seven from sampled schools were investigated by electronic questionnaire method formulated by the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood and the Europrevall Project Commission. Students and their parents answered and uploaded electronic questionnaires with the consent of parents, and then team members collected and analyzed uploaded data. Result:Four thousand one hundred and sixty-six effective questionnaires were collected, and the response rate was 95.77%. During the five districts, 13.97%, 2.01%, 29.29%, 5.19%, and 7.28% of the respondents in grade one had previously diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, allergic conjunctivitis, and food allergy respectively, and the correspondent rates in grade seven were 15.99%, 2.89%, 16.73%, 2.46%, and 6.97%. The prevalence rates of the five diseases in boys were higher than that in girls in both two grades. 67.27% students with asthma kept coughing and wheezing in the last 12 months, and 24.85% non-asthma students had the same respiratory symptoms. The most common allergenic food were shrimp and crabs, followed by milk and milk products, eggs, and shellfish. Cutaneous symptoms and oral allergy symptoms were predominant clinical manifestations in all students with food allergy. The prevalence of the above allergic diseases of children with atopic family history was higher than that of children without family history, and the prevalence of the 5 diseases of children living in city was higher than that of children living in rural areas. The prevalence rate of asthma of children with allergic rhinitis in both grades was higher than that of children without allergic rhinitis, and the same happened to children with eczema, allergic conjunctivitis, and food allergy. Conclusion:Prevalence rates of allergic rhinitis and asthma in primary and middle school students of Foshan increased as children grew, while the prevalence rates of eczema, allergic conjunctivitis and food allergy decreased with age. The most common allergenic food were shrimp and crabs, milk and milk products, and eggs. 67.27% students with asthma had poor respiratory control in the last 12 months. The prevalence of allergic diseases of children living in city and with atopic family history was higher than that of children living in rural areas and without family history. Students with allergic conjunctivitis, food allergy, allergic rhinitis and eczema had high risk of asthma.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of intralymphatic immunotherapy with cervical lymph node injection for allergic rhinitis. Method: A retrospective analysis of 81 patients with allergic rhinitis(AR) who had received specific immunotherapy with cervical lymph node injection in 2016 in the first people's Hospital of Foshan was conducted. The neck lymph node immunotherapy under the guidance of color Doppler ultrasound consisted of three sessions, and in each session 50 Tu(Arog) was delivered. The scores of nasal and ocular symptoms, drug score and adverse reactions during treatment were recorded before and after treatment, and the efficacy and safety were observed. Result: Before treatment, the nasal symptoms score of 81 AR cases of mite allergy was 7.00±1.65. After 1,2 and 3 sessions of cervical lymph node immune therapy and 1 year after completion of treatment, the nasal symptom scores were 4.37±1.88, 4.26±1.80, 4.22±1.80, and 4.09±2.10,respectively, which were significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.01). The quality of life score was 53.68±9.28 before treatment, which decreased to 23.01±13.28 one year after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). The drug score was 3.27±1.17 before treatment, which decreased to 1.00±1.05 1 years after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). During treatment and 1-year follow-up, only 8 cases had mild local reactions, and no systemic adverse reactions occurred. Conclusion: Cervical lymph node injection specific immunotherapy can significantly relieve the symptoms of dust mite allergic rhinitis. The treatment is effective and safe, and greatly shortens the duration of immune treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene-modified dendritic cells (DC-IL-10) in mice with liver fibrosis. Methods: DC-IL-10 was constructed in vitro, the phenotype and function of which were evaluated by flow cytometry. BALB/c mice were treated with intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) to establish liver fibrotic model. DC-IL-10 was administrated via tail vein. Animals were divided into 4 groups including normal dendritic cell(DC) control, liver fibrosis only, negative lentiviral transfection DC (DC-mock) and DC-IL-10. Liver function, cytokine secretion, T lymphocyte differentiation and liver histomorphology were tested. Real-time PCR and western blot were used to analyze the effect of DC-IL-10 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and its role in liver fibrosis. Results: When compared with DC control and DC-mock, the expression of DC-IL-10 surface stimulating molecules (major histocompatibity complex-Ⅱ, CD(80), CD(86)) were significantly decreased (F=14.708, 22.503, 12.595, respectively, all P<0.05), and DC-IL-10 significantly inhibited T lymphocyte proliferation (F=50.295, P<0.05). When compared with liver fibrosis group, serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate transaminase were decreased in DC-IL-10 treated group (all P<0.05), other parameters including inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor α, IL-6, IL-1β) reduced (all P <0.05), the proportion of regulatory T cells (Treg) increased (F=6.742, P<0.05), pathological damage improved, the expression of Wnt3a, α-SMA and β-catenin mRNA and protein significantly reduced in DC-IL-10 treatment group (all P<0.001) . Conclusions: DC-IL-10 induces elevation of Treg for immune tolerance, as well as inhibition of inflammatory response, block of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which translates into improvement of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence rate of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) complications in the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension, and analyze the cause of complication to management methods. Methods: Data of 116 patients obtained from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were retrospectively analyzed. Portal venous pressure, routine blood test, coagulation test, liver and kidney function test, ammonia blood test, imaging and endoscopy reports were collected before and after procedure. The incidence rate of hepatic encephalopathy, gastrointestinal bleeding, ascites and shunt dysfunctions were observed. Data were expressed as mean ± Standard deviation and analyzed by t-test. A chi-squared test was used for comparison between categorical variables. Results: The success rate of TIPS operation was 97.41% (113/116). Two patients underwent prompt TIPS procedure due to active bleeding. Bleeding was successfully stopped. Portal venous pressure of 113 patients decreased from (42.73 ± 7.64) cmH(2)O to (24.92 ± 7.60) cmH(2)O, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). Twenty cases were of hepatic encephalopathy. Preoperative level of Child-pugh class C patients was more susceptible to hepatic encephalopathy within 3 months after procedure than class A and B. After TIPS procedure, there were 22 cases of gastrointestinal bleeding, 18 cases of shunt dysfunctions and 26 cases of disease related death. Conclusion: Rational patient selection strategies can effectively reduce portal venous pressure, incidence of hepatic encephalopathy, improve mid-and long-term therapeutic effects, and provide opportunities for liver transplantation.

Abstract
Nanowalkers take either inchworm (IW) or hand-over-hand (HOH) gait. The IW nanowalkers are advantageous over HOH ones in force generation, processivity and high-density integration, though both gaits occur in intracellular nanowalkers from biology. Artificial IW nanowalkers have been realized or proposed, but all rely on different 'head' and 'tail' to gain an adventitious direction. Here we report an inherently unidirectional IW nanowalker that is a biped with two identical legs (i.e., indistinguishable 'head' and 'tail'). This walker is made of DNA, and driven by a light-powered G-quadruplex engine. The directional inchworm motion is confirmed by operating the walker on a DNA duplex track that is designed to show a distinctive fluorescence pattern for IW walkers as compared to HOH ones. Interestingly, this walker exhibits stride-controlled IW-to-HOH gait switch and direction reversal when the track's periodic binding sites have wider and wider separation. The results altogether present an integrated mechanism for implementing nanowalkers of different gaits and directions on molecular tracks, optical potentials or even solid-state surfaces.

Abstract
Artificial molecular walkers beyond burn-bridge designs are important for nanotechnology, but their systematic development remains difficult. Herein, we have reported a new rationally designed DNA walker-track system and experimentally verified a previously proposed general expulsion regime for implementing non-burn-bridge nanowalkers. The DNA walker has an optically powered engine motif that reversibly extends and contracts the walker via a quadruplex-duplex conformational change. The walker's extension is an energy-absorbing and force-generating process, which drives the walker's leg dissociation off-track in a piston-like expulsion stroke. The unzipping-shearing asymmetry provides the expulsion stroke a bias, which decides the direction of the walker. Moreover, three candidate walkers of different sizes were fabricated. Fluorescence motility experiments indicated two of them as successful walkers and revealed a distinctive size dependence that was expected for these expulsive walkers, but was not observed in previously reported walkers. This study identifies unique technical requirements for expulsive nanowalkers. The present DNA design is readily adapted for making similar walkers from other molecules since the unzipping-shearing asymmetry is common.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the K562 cells biological function and related molecular changes in PTEN-PI3K/AKT signaling pathway of leukemia K562 cells by inhibiting the miRNA-21 expression to explore its pathogenesis of leukemia. Methods: The chemical synthetic miRNA-21 inhibitor was transfered into K562 cells by electrotransfection. RT-PCR was used to detect the miRNA-21 expression changes. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by using MTT and flow cytometry. Western-blot were used to detect the protein expression changes of PTEN, PI3K and p-AKT respectively. Results: The relative expression of miRNA-21 in experimental group was (8.070 ± 5.138)% at 24 hours, which was lower than control groups (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate of (13.370±0.250)% at 24 hours in experimental group was obviously higher than control groups. The cellular proliferation were significantly different at 24 hours. The proliferation inhibition rate was (8.1±0.9)% at 24 hours, which was up to (43.1±2.1)% at 60 hours, but the control groups showed no difference. K562 cell proliferation significantly decreased, while cell apoptosis markedly increased by inhibiting miRNA-21 expression (P<0.01). Western-blot analysis revealed up-regulation of PTEN and down-regulation of PI3K and p-AKT protein expressions after successfully suppressed miRNA-21 expression (P<0.01). Conclusion: Inhibiting miRNA-21 expression in K562 cell could suppress the PI3K/AKT pathway by up-regulation of PTEN expression and promote cell antiproliferative and pro-apoptosis effects.

Abstract
The organic content of municipal solid waste has long been an attractive source of renewable energy, mainly as a solid fuel in waste-to-energy plants. This study focuses on the potential to use microbial fuel cells to convert municipal solid waste organics into energy using various operational conditions. The results showed that two-chamber microbial fuel cells with carbon felt and carbon felt allocation had a higher maximal power density (20.12 and 30.47 mW m(-2) for 1.5 and 4 L, respectively) than those of other electrode plate allocations. Most two-chamber microbial fuel cells (1.5 and 4 L) had a higher maximal power density than single-chamber ones with corresponding electrode plate allocations. Municipal solid waste with alkali hydrolysis pre-treatment and K3Fe(CN)6 as an electron acceptor improved the maximal power density to 1817.88 mW m(-2) (~0.49% coulomb efficiency, from 0.05-0.49%). The maximal power density from experiments using individual 1.5 and 4 L two-chamber microbial fuel cells, and serial and parallel connections of 1.5 and 4 L two-chamber microbial fuel cells, was found to be in the order of individual 4 L (30.47 mW m(-2)) > serial connection of 1.5 and 4 L (27.75) > individual 1.5 L (20.12) > parallel connection of 1.5 and 4 L (17.04) two-chamber microbial fuel cells . The power density using municipal solid waste microbial fuel cells was compared with information in the literature and discussed.

Abstract
Eucommia ulmoides is cultivated for the production of eucommia rubber and Chinese herbal drugs. Molecular breeding methods, such as marker-assisted selection (MAS), have the potential to improve the efficiency of E. ulmoides breeding. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was applied to identify marker-trait associations for E. ulmoides using an F1 mapping population of 152 individuals derived from a cross between the wild genotype Xiaoye and the cultivar Qinzhong No. 1. A total of 78 QTLs were identified for 12 leaf traits involving morphology, yield, and secondary metabolites. Phenotypic variance explained by individual QTLs ranged from 10.4 to 53.3%. Fifteen QTL clusters, each harboring loci controlling at least two leaf traits, were detected across nine linkage groups. Co-location of these QTLs may be due to pleiotropy or linkage. Three main QTL regions for secondary metabolites were consistently identified each year. QTL information from this study furthers our understanding of the genetic architecture of these economically important traits and of MAS in E. ulmoides breeding.

Abstract
Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity and relationships among Eucommia ulmoides cultivars in China. A total of 240, 192, and 150 DNA fragments were detected by 10 SRAP primer combinations, 10 AFLP primer combinations, and 10 ISSR primers, among which 89.2, 65.1, and 88.0% of the fragments were polymorphic, respectively. Cluster analysis revealed that Qinzhong No. 3, Xiaoyeci, Qinzhong No. 1, and Qinzhong No. 2 formed independent clusters. The other 15 cultivars exhibited two clusters. The results of this study will help in the selection of parents for both genome mapping and crossbreeding purposes.

Abstract
AIM Although implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMI) was shown to improve outcomes in patients with severe peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), little experience has been reported in patients with an arterial occlusion level above the knee, ischemic gangrene, and high cardiovascular risk. This study sought to investigate the timing of gangrene tissue debridement and the safety of BMI in these patients. METHODS Six "no-option" PAOD patients were enrolled with an arterial occlusion level above the knee, ischemic gangrene, and 3 systemic diseases related to a high cardiovascular risk. The ischemic status was evaluated by measuring the ankle-brachial index (ABI), transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2), and wound healing after BMI. RESULTS All patients safely underwent the procedures with intravenous general anesthesia by titrating propofol. Major lower extremity amputation, minor debridement amputation, and debridement surgery were performed in 2 (33.3%), 1 (16.7%), and 2 (33.3%) patients, respectively, 3.1 2.8 months after BMI. Compared to the amputation group (N=3), the salvage group (N=3) had a significantly higher baseline ABI (P=0.02) and a shorter distance between the gangrene site and arterial occlusion site (P=0.01). In the 3 patients who underwent debridement, ABI and TcPO2 significantly improved 1 month after BMI, and gangrenous tissues were debrided 3.8 ± 3.6 (range, 1~8) months after BMI with complete healing within 1 month. CONCLUSION Autologous BMI therapy is safe in patients at high cardiovascular risk with an arterial occlusion level above the knee and ischemic gangrene. Effective predictors of BMI include the baseline ABI and distance to the ischemia. Gangrene tissue should be debrided at least 1 month after BMI.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of eight metals on the anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) in bioreactors. Anaerobic bioreactors containing 200 mL MSW mixed completely with 200 m L sludge seeding. Ca and K (0, 1000, 2000 and 6,000 mg L(-1)) and Cr, Ni, Zn, Co, Mo and W (0, 5, 50 and 100 mg L(-1)) of various dose were added to anaerobic bioreactors to examine their anaerobic digestion performance. Results showed that except K and Zn, Ca (~728 to ~1,461 mg L(-1)), Cr (~0.0022 to ~0.0212 mg L(-1)), Ni (~0.801 to ~5.362 mg L(-1)), Co (~0.148 to ~0.580 mg L(-1)), Mo (~0.044 to ~52.94 mg L(-1)) and W (~0.658 to ~40.39 mg L(-1)) had the potential to enhance the biogas production. On the other hand, except Mo and W, inhibitory concentrations IC(50) of Ca, K, Cr, Ni, Zn and Co were found to be ~3252, ~2097, ~0.124, ~7.239, ~0.482, ~8.625 mg L(-1), respectively. Eight spiked metals showed that they were adsorbed by MSW to a different extent resulting in different liquid metals levels and potential stimulation and inhibition on MSW anaerobic digestion. These results were discussed and compared to results from literature.

Abstract
A search for Z bosons in the μ(+)μ(-) decay channel has been performed in PbPb collisions at √S(NN)=2.76 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, in a 7.2 μb(-1) data sample. The number of opposite-sign muon pairs observed in the 60-120 GeV/c(2) invariant mass range is 39, corresponding to a yield per unit of rapidity (y) and per minimum bias event of [33.8±5.5(stat)±4.4(syst)]×10(-8), in the |y|<2.0 range. Rapidity, transverse momentum, and centrality dependencies are also measured. The results agree with next-to-leading order QCD calculations, scaled by the number of incoherent nucleon-nucleon collisions.

Abstract
Dijet angular distributions are measured over a wide range of dijet invariant masses in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV, at the CERN LHC. The event sample, recorded with the CMS detector, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb⁻¹. The data are found to be in good agreement with the predictions of perturbative QCD, and yield no evidence of quark compositeness. With a modified frequentist approach, a lower limit on the contact interaction scale for left-handed quarks of Λ⁺ = 5.6 TeV (Λ⁻ = 6.7 TeV) for destructive (constructive) interference is obtained at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract
A search for pair production of second-generation scalar leptoquarks in the final state with two muons and two jets is performed using proton-proton collision data at √s = 7 TeV collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb⁻¹. The number of observed events is in good agreement with the predictions from the standard model processes. An upper limit is set on the second-generation leptoquark cross section times β² as a function of the leptoquark mass, and leptoquarks with masses below 394 GeV are excluded at a 95% confidence level for β = 1, where β is the leptoquark branching fraction into a muon and a quark. These limits are the most stringent to date.
