Abstract
1. As RIPK2 (receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2) has been shown to to alleviate excessive inflammatory responses, the following study conducted a systematic and in-depth analysis of the mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq data from chicken macrophages with/without over-expression of RIPK2 (oeRIPK2) combined with/without avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) infection to identify the miRNA-mRNA interaction network and potential signalling pathways involved.2. A total of 9,201 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs and 300 DE miRNA were identified in both oeRIPK2+APEC vs. APEC and oeRIPK2 vs. the wild-type (WT). Moreover, 4,269 instances of co-expression between miRNAs and mRNAs were seen involving 1,652 DE mRNAs and 164 DE miRNAs.3. Functional analysis of the DE mRNAs in the miRNA-mRNA interaction network showed that 223 biological processes and five KEGG pathways were significantly enriched in the two comparisons. In total, 128 pairs of miRNA-mRNA interactions were involved in the identified MAPK signalling pathway and focal adhesion immune related pathways.4. Significantly, these screened miRNAs (gga-miR-222b-5p and gga-miR-214) and their target genes were highly correlated with APEC infection and RIPK2. These recognised key genes, miRNA and the overall miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, enables better understanding of the molecular mechanism of host response to APEC infection, especially related to RIPK2.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has become a serious medical problem faced by medical personnel all over the world, due to its high incidence, high fatality, and easily missed and misdiagnosed. Patients with severe burns are at high risk for VTE due to the presence of blood hypercoagulability, central venous catheterization, repeatedly received surgical procedures, and prolonged bed rest. Identifying the risk factors of VTE in burn patients and taking targeted preventive measures are the key to reduce the incidence of VTE. However, there are no risk assessment tools or prevention guidelines for VTE in burn patients at home and abroad, and scholars from various countries are actively exploring the occurrence, influencing factors, and prevention of VTE in burn patients. This paper reviews the research progress of the occurrence situation, related risk factors, risk assessment, and prevention of VTE in burn patients in recent years, and discusses the existing problems and future research directions in this field.

Abstract
Non-syndromic oral cleft (NSOC), a common birth defect, remains to be a critical public health problem in China. In the context of adjustment of childbearing policy for two times in China and the increase of pregnancy at older childbearing age, NSOC risk prediction will provide evidence for high-risk population identification and prenatal counseling. Genome-wide association study and second generation sequencing have identified multiple loci associated with NSOC, facilitating the development of genetic risk prediction of NSOC. Despite the marked progress, risk prediction models of NSOC still faces multiple challenges. This paper summarizes the recent progress in research of NSOC risk prediction models based on the results of extensive literature retrieval to provide some insights for the model development regarding research design, variable selection, model-build strategy and evaluation methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodontal ligament distraction (PDLD) can accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, the effect of stretch frequency on osseous formation during PDLD remains unclear. Here, we sought to identify the effect of PDLD frequency on the osteogenic remodelling of the periodontium. MATERIALS AND METHODS (i) In vitro, five human periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) cultures were randomized to either static conditions or exposure to a cyclic stretch force involving 12% deformation at frequencies of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 or 1.0 Hz for 12 h, and the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was assessed using Western blotting. (ii) In vivo, 18 beagle dogs underwent orthodontic distalization of bilateral maxillary first premolars. In the test groups, PDLD was performed at a frequency of two or six times/day, while Ni-Ti coil springs were applied to mimic traditional OTM in the control group. The amount of OTM and histological staining was estimated after force loading for 5, 10 and 15 days. RESULTS (i) In vitro, the expression of osteogenic-specific markers (runt-related transcription factor 2 [Runx2], type I collagen [COL-I] and osteocalcin [OCN]) increased with the frequency of tensile force, to a peak at 0.7 Hz. (ii) In vivo, both PDLD groups displayed a greater rate of OTM and a higher bone metabolism than the control group. The expression of COL-I and OCN was significantly reinforced in the six times/day-PDLD group in comparison to the two times/day-PDLD group. CONCLUSIONS The cyclic stretch force enhances osteogenesis of the periodontium in a frequency-dependent manner.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the differences to determine resting energy expenditure (REE) measured with indirect calorimetry and REE predicted by formula method and body composition analyzer in patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis, so as to provide theoretical guidance for the implementation of precision nutrition intervention. Methods: Patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis who were admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from April 2020 to December 2020 were collected. REE was determined by the body composition analyzer and the H-B formula method. Results: were analyzed and compared to REE measured by the metabolic cart. Results A total of 57 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in this study. Among them, 42 were male, aged (47.93 ± 8.62) years, and 15 were female aged (57.20 ± 11.34) years. REE measured value in males was (1 808.14 ± 201.47) kcal/d, compared with the results calculated by the H-B formula method and the measured result of body composition, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.002 and 0.003, respectively). REE measured value in females was (1 496.60 ± 131.28) kcal/d, compared with the results calculated by the H-B formula method and the measured result of body composition, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.016 and 0.004, respectively). REE measured with the metabolic cart had correlation with age and area of visceral fat in men (P = 0.021) and women (P = 0.037). Conclusion: Metabolic cart use will be more accurate to obtain resting energy expenditure in patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis. Body composition analyzer and formula method may underestimate REE predictions. Simultaneously, it is suggested that the effect of age on REE in H-B formula should be fully considered for male patients, while the area of visceral fat may have a certain impact on the interpretation of REE in female patients.

Abstract
Various studies have recognized the vital role of the abnormal spindle microtubule assembly (ASPM) gene in the progression of numerous tumors and its association with their poorer clinical outcomes. Nonetheless, the clinical significance and regulatory mechanism of ASPM in papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) have not been illuminated. Herein, we designed a series of experiments to determine the functional significance of ASPM in PRCC. The expression of ASPM was significantly elevated in PRCC tissues and cells, and a higher expression level of ASPM was associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with PRCC. Following the knockdown of ASPM, the proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities of PRCC cells were all repressed. Moreover, the silencing of ASPM attenuated the expressions of crucial proteins involved in Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway, including Dvl-2, β-catenin, TCF4, and LEF1. Our study shows the biological significance of ASPM in PRCC and provides new insights for exploring therapeutic targets in PRCC.

Abstract
Liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins occur in a number of biological processes, such as regulation of transcription, processing, and RNA maturation. Sm-like protein 4 (LSM4) is involved in multiple processes, including pre-mRNA splicing and P-bodies assembly. Before investigating the involvement of LSM4 in the separation of the two liquid phases during RNA processing or maturation, the separation of the liquid phases in an in vitro preparation of LSM4 protein should be first be detected. The mCherry-LSM4 plasmid was derived from pET30a and used to isolate mCherry-LSM4 protein from prokaryotic cells (Escherichia coli strain BL21). The mCherry LSM4 protein was purified using Ni-NTA resin. The protein was further purified by fast protein liquid chromatography. Delta-Vision wide-field fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the dynamic liquid-liquid phase separation of the LSM4 protein in vitro. Analysis of the LSM4 protein structure using the Predictor of Natural Disordered Regions database revealed that its C-terminus contains a low complexity domain. A purified preparation of full-length human LSM4 protein was obtained from E. coli. Human LSM4 was shown to provide concentration-dependent separation of liquid-liquid phases in vitro in buffer with crowding reagents. Salts in high concentration and 1,6-hexanediol block the LSM4-induced separation of the two liquid phases. In addition, in vitro fusion of LSM4 protein droplets is observed. The results suggest that full-length human LSM4 protein can undergo liquid-liquid phase separation in vitro.

Abstract
The incidence of cerebrovascular diseases increases significantly with aging. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that aging may influence the protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent vasodilation via RyR/BKCa pathway in the middle cerebral arteries (MCA). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control (4-6 month-old) and aged (24-month-old) groups. The functions of MCA and ion channel activities in smooth muscle cells were examined using myograph system and patch-clamp. Aging decreased the isoproterenol/forskolin-induced relaxation in the MCA. Large-conductance Ca2+-activated-K+ (BKCa) channel inhibitor, iberiotoxin, significantly attenuated the forskolin-induced vasodilatation and hyperpolarization in the young group, but not in the aged group. The amplitude and frequency of spontaneous transient outward currents (STOCs) were significantly decreased in the aged group. Single channel recording revealed that the mean open time of BKCa channels were decreased, while an increased mean closed time of BKCa channels were found in the aged group. The Ca2+/voltage sensitivity of the channels was decreased accompanied by reduced BKCa α and β1-subunit, the expression of RyR2, PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ subunits were also declined in the aged group. Aging induced down-regulation of PKA/BKCa pathway in cerebral artery in rats. The results provides new information on further understanding in cerebrovascular diseases resulted from age-related cerebral vascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI)is a common complication after lung transplantation and cardiopulmonary bypass. It is an important factor affecting the success rate of transplantation. Its specific pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. It is very significant to find the targets and drugs for the prevention and treatment of LIRI in order to improving the utilization rate of "marginal donor lung" and the long-term survival rate of lung transplant patients. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4(DPP4) inhibitors are a class of oral hypoglycemic agents. Previous studies have shown that DPP4 inhibitors have a variety of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, immunomodulatory and other extrapancreatic functions. Recent studies have shown that DPP4 inhibitors may alleviate LIRI through various mechanisms, including inhibiting inflammatory responses, reducing oxidative stress, regulating blood glucose levels, and activating autophagy. This article reviewed the clinical and preclinical applications and mechanisms of DPP4 inhibitors in LIRI.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) and coaxial large channel endoscopy for lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: A total of 176 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis treated in Tianjin Hospital from March 2015 to October 2021 were included in this study. Of the patients, 110 cases were treated with UBE, including 52 males and 58 females, with a mean age of (75.1±10.4) years; while 66 cases were treated with coaxial large channel endoscopy, including 31 males and 35 females, with an average age of (77.2±13.1) years. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score of pain and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were compared before and after surgery between the two groups, with the improvement rate calculated. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative conditions and complications were compared. The operation efficacy was evaluated according to MacNab scale and was compared between the two groups. Results: There was no significant differences in age, gender, disease course, VAS of pain, ODI and index levels between the two groups before operation (all P>0.05). The operation time and postoperative drainage in UBE group and coaxial large channel endoscopy group were comparable [(60.1±12.4)min, (62.5±13.2)min and (103.8±20.7)ml, (98.5±22.1)ml, respectively, both P>0.05]. After the operation, the VAS score of low back pain, VAS score of leg pain and ODI of the two groups were all lower than those before operation, and decreased continuously during follow-up; and under the repeated measures analysis of variance, significant differences were found between different time points (all P<0.05), no significant difference was found between the two groups (all P>0.05), nor interaction between groups and time points was detected (all P>0.05). The patients were followed-up for (18.0±4.2) months (6 to 30 months). There was no significant difference in VAS and ODI improvement rates and excellent rate of efficacy between the two groups at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Both UBE and coaxial large channel endoscopy can provide excellent results for lumbar spinal stenosis. UBE has sufficient decompression and is convenient to explore and remove the herniated disc.

Abstract
Outbreaks caused by highly industrialized food companies are characterized by cross-border, trans-regional, rapid and unpredictable, related to serious disease and economic burden. A cluster of cases with monophasic salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ST34 infection suspected to be associated with consumption of contaminated chocolate products have been reported in several Europe countries since December 2021. After retrospective investigations, the buttermilk circuit in the Belgian factory was suspected to be the point of origin of the contamination. This outbreak could provide a reference for the risk management of foodborne pathogens contamination in China. The objective of this paper was to summarize the process and characteristics of the outbreak of monophasic S. Typhimurium caused by contaminated chocolate products, analyze the characteristics of ST34 monophasic S. Typhimurium and the microbial management measures in the process of chocolate products, and systematically discuss the suggestions for the risk management of foodborne pathogens contamination and countermeasures for the rapid development of industrialization of food enterprises in China, in order to provide scientific and technological support for the prevention and control, prediction and early warning of sudden cases in China.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical application effect of sequential nursing on the management of new skin on face and neck after deep burns. Methods: The retrospective case-control research approach was used. From January to December 2019, 109 patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University) within 1 week after deep burn wound healing on the face and neck. Fifty-five patients who were admitted to the hospital from January to June and received comprehensive treatment and conventional nursing were included in conventional nursing group (27 males and 28 females, aged 21-65 (40±17) years), and fifty-four patients who were admitted to the hospital from July to December and received comprehensive treatment and sequential nursing were included in sequential nursing group (29 males and 25 females, aged 18-57 (37±11) years). The scores of pigmentation, vascularity, pliability, and thickness in Vancouver scar scale (VSS), the total score of VSS, the score of itch's impact on sleep in the four-item itch questionnaire (FIIQ), and the total score of FIIQ of patients were counted in the two groups before the first treatment (hereinafter referred to as treatment) and 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after treatment. The treatment effective rate and the score of patients' satisfaction with the treatment effect in one year after treatment and the occurrence of adverse reaction during the treatment were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test. Results: The scores of pigmentation, vascularity, pliability, and thickness in VSS and the total VSS score of patients between the two groups before treatment were close (P>0.05). The pliability score in VSS and total VSS score after 3 months of treatment, the score of vascularity in VSS and total VSS score after 6 months of treatment, and the scores of pigmentation, vascularity, pliability, and thickness in VSS and total VSS score of patients after 1 year of treatment in sequential nursing group were significantly lower than those in conventional nursing group (with Z values of -2.51, -3.37, -2.05, -3.28, -3.12, -5.86, -4.63, -5.56, -6.76, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The score of itch's impact on sleep in FIIQ after 3 months of treatment of patients in sequential nursing group was significantly lower than that in conventional nursing group (Z=-4.17, P<0.01), and the total scores of FIIQ after 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year of treatment of patients in sequential nursing group were significantly lower than those in conventional nursing group (with Z values of -6.56, -5.53, -5.84, respectively, P<0.01). After 1 year of treatment, the treatment effective rate of patients in sequential nursing group was 96.3% (52/54), which was significantly higher than 81.8% (45/55) in conventional nursing group (χ2=5.83, P<0.05), and the score of patients' satisfaction with the treatment effect in sequential nursing group was significantly higher than that in conventional nursing group (Z=-4.49, P<0.01). During the treatment period, there was no adverse reaction in patients in sequential nursing group, but there were 3 patients with pruritus and peripheral erythema on the wound in conventional nursing group, which were improved after dressing changes. Conclusions: Sequential nursing can effectively improve the prevention and management of new skin scars in patients after deep burns on the face and neck, improve the itching, the efficiency of treatment, and the satisfaction of patients with the treatment effect.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of topical glucocorticoid in treating phimosis on urinarytract infection(UTI) of vesicoureteral reflux(VUR) in infants. Methods: Clinical data of infants with UTI diagnosed as primary VUR admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The children were divided into three groups:the effective group (topical glucocorticoid was effective in the treatment of phimosis), the ineffective group(topical glucocorticoid was ineffective in the treatment of phimosis), and the untreated group(phimosis was not treated). Age of onset, degree of reflux, side and other indicators were compared to understand the effectiveness of topical glucocorticoid in treating phimosis, and the clinical characteristics of repeated UTI with VUR in treated phimosis and untreated phimosis. Results: A total of 544 children were included. Among them, 59 cases were treated with topical glucocorticoid for phimosis, 48 cases in the effective group, and their age was (12.5±8.4) months;11 cases in the ineffective group,and their age was (11.2±8.9) months. There were 485 cases in the untreated group, and their age was (13.1±9.3) months.The effective rate of topical glucocorticoid in the treatment of phimosis was 81.36%. There were 12 cases(12/48) of recurrent UTI in the effective group and 213 cases (213/485)of recurrent UTI in the untreated group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.008). Conclusion: Treatment of phimosis with topical glucocorticoid is an effective, easy to perform, and cost-effective method, and can effectively reduce the risk of recurrent UTI in infants with primary VUR.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the demographic distribution, clinical signs, and clinical types of herpes simplex virus keratitis (HSK). Methods: Retrospective case series. The data of 1 015 cases of HSK (1 054 eyes) diagnosed in Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2010 to June 2019 were collected. The patients included 613 males and 402 females, and the age was 47.43±16.79 years. Information of the patients such as age, sex, the season of onset, eye laterality, and clinical signs was assessed. Slit-lamp microscopy and corneal fluorescein staining were used to locate the anatomical position of lesions. HSK was classified into epithelial type, neurotrophic type, stromal type, endothelial type, and mixed type. The distribution data was compared by the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Results: There were 41 children (≤14 years old; 4.04%), 338 youth (15-44 years old; 33.30%), 374 middle-aged (45-59 years old; 36.85%), and 262 elderly (≥60 years old; 25.81%) patients. The type was epithelial in 246 cases (24.24%), neurotrophic in 27 cases (2.66%), stromal in 372 cases (36.65%), endothelial in 274 cases (26.99%), and mixed in 96 cases (9.46%). There was statistically significant difference in clinical typing among the different age groups (χ2=30.197, P=0.003). Epithelial HSK was found in 141 males (57.32%) and 105 females (42.68%), neurotrophic HSK in 16 males (59.26%) and 11 females (40.74%), stromal HSK in 226 males (60.75%) and 146 females (39.25%), endothelial HSK in 171 males (62.41%) and 103 females (37.59%), and mixed HSK in 59 males (61.46%) and 37 females (38.54%). There was no statistically significant difference in clinical classification of keratitis between genders (χ2=1.519, P=0.823). Among the cases of mixed type, there were 21 cases of epithelial-stromal type (21.88%), 30 cases of epithelial-endothelial type (31.25%), 37 cases of stromal-endothelial type (38.54%), 1 case of epithelial-neurotrophic type (1.04%), and 7 cases of neurotrophic-stromal type (7.29%). Conclusions: HSK occurs mainly in middle-aged and young adults, but rarely in children. The proportion of males is higher than that of females. The proportion of stromal HSK is highest, and 9.46% of patients present mixed HSK.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 has infected more than 600 million people worldwide and caused more than 6 million deaths. The emerging novel variants have made the epidemic rebound in many places. Meteorological factors can affect the epidemic spread by changing virus activity, transmission dynamic parameters and host susceptibility. This paper systematically analyzed the currently available laboratory and epidemiological studies on the association between the meteorological factors and COVID-19 incidence, in order to provide scientific evidence for future epidemic control and prevention, as well as developing early warning system.
