Abstract
During the past nine years, our center has grown into the largest uveitis referral center in China. To deal with this increasing stream of patients we have developed a management system to coordinate communication with our patients, their referring ophthalmologists, consultations with other medical specialties and worldrenowned foreign uveitis specialists. We have established the biggest database of uveitis patients records allowing continuous analysis of clinical features and response to treatment of patients with various uveitis entities as well as the evaluation of the relevance of various ancillary tests performed in this patient group. The establishment of a specimen biobank has been shown to be instrumental in the research on the complex immunopathological mechanisms involved in this disease. The close interaction between patient care and clinical research under one roof has led to a novel understanding of disease mechanisms and will undoubtedly lead to a tailored treatment for this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lower serum concentrations of the osteoblast-derived protein, osteocalcin, have been associated with poorer glycemic control, insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, and with the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS This study compares concentrations of two physiological forms of osteocalcin, carboxylated (cOCN) and uncarboxylated (unOCN), between participants with T2DM (n = 20) and age-, gender- and body mass index (BMI)-matched participants without T2DM (n = 40) among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and it explores relationships between osteocalcin concentrations and cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS Concentrations of unOCN (2.71 ± 1.86 vs. 4.70 ± 2.03 ng/mL; t = -3.635, p = 0.001) and cOCN (8.70 ± 2.27 vs. 10.77 ± 3.69 ng/mL; t = -2.30, p = 0.025) were lower in participants with T2DM. In participants without T2DM, concentrations of cOCN were associated with fitness (VO2Peak rho = 0.317, p = 0.047) and lower body fat (rho = -0.324, p = 0.041). In participants with T2DM, lower unOCN was associated with HbA1c (rho = -0.516, p = 0.020). Higher body mass was associated with higher unOCN (rho = 0.423, p = 0.009) in participants without T2DM, but with lower concentrations of both unOCN (rho = -0.590, p = 0.006) and cOCN (rho = -0.632, p = 0.003) in participants with T2DM. CONCLUSION In patients with CAD, lower osteocalcin concentrations were related to type 2 diabetes, and to adverse fitness, metabolic and obesity profiles.

Abstract
This study aimed to unravel the molecular mechanism of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). With microarray dataset GSE30784, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between OSCC and control samples. The DEGs overlapped with genes obtained from online database MalaCards were determined as OSCCDEG, followed by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. A total of 5177 up-regulated and 6081 down-regulated DEGs were identified between OSCC and control. Out of the DEGs, 451 genes were overlapped with the 704 genes gained from MalaCards and regarded as "OSCCDEG". Up-regulated OSCCDEG were associated with cell cycle pathway, while down-regulated OSCCDEG were linked to ErbB pathway. ANGPT1, ANGPT2 and 3 hub proteins (EGFR, HSP90AA1, RB1) in the PPI network were associated with the survival rates of several tumors. The largest network module with the hub protein EGFR was associated with positive regulation of cell communication. The second largest module with the hub node FN1 was related to angiogenesis. For the third network module in connection with DNA metabolism, the hub protein was PCNA. ErbB and cell cycle pathways were crucial for OSCC. EGFR, FN1, PCNA, ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 might be potential biomarkers for OSCC. These findings help provide guidelines for treating OSCC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the association between 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA4) and protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) genes with scleritis in a Chinese Han population. We recruited 432 scleritis patients and 710 healthy controls. Four tag SNPs of CTLA4 and nine tag SNPs of PTPN22 were selected using Haploview. Genotyping was performed with the Sequenom MassArray® iPLEX GOLD Assay. Genotype and allele frequency differences were analyzed by χ2 test and Bonferroni correction. Haplotype analysis was performed to further evaluate the association of these two genes with scleritis. In this study, CTLA4/rs3087243 G allele frequency and GG genotype frequency were significantly increased in scleritis patients compared to healthy controls [corrected P-value (Pc) = 0·02, odds ratio (OR) = 1·475, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1·175-1·851; Pc = 0·04, OR = 1·546, 95% CI = 1·190-2·008, respectively]. None of the tested SNPs in the PTPN22 gene showed an association with scleritis. Haplotype analysis revealed a lower frequency of a CTLA4 TCAA haplotype (order of SNPs: rs733618, rs5742909, rs231775, rs3087243) (Pc = 4·26 × 10-3 , OR = 0·618, 95% CI = 0·540-0·858) and a higher frequency of a PTPN22 TTATACGCG haplotype (order of SNPs: rs3789604, rs150426536, rs1746853, rs1217403, rs1217406, rs3789609, rs1217414, rs3789612, rs2488457) (Pc = 2·83 × 10-4 , OR = 1·457, 95% CI = 1·210-1·754) in scleritis patients when compared to healthy controls. In conclusion, our findings indicate that CTLA4 and PTPN22 might confer genetic susceptibility to scleritis in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Seasonal influenza vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection and its complications. Currently, China has licensed trivalent (IIV3) and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), including split-virus influenza vaccine and subunit vaccine. In most parts of China, influenza vaccine is a category Ⅱ vaccine, which means influenza vaccination is voluntary, and recipients need to pay for it. To strengthen the technical guidance for prevention and control of influenza and the operational research on influenza vaccination in China, the National Immunization Advisory Committee (NIAC), Influenza Vaccine Technical Working Group (TWG), updated the 2014 technical guidelines and compiled the "Technical guidelines for seasonal influenza vaccination in China (2018-2019)" , based on most recent existing scientific evidences. The main updates include: epidemiology and disease burden of influenza, types of influenza vaccines, northern hemisphere influenza vaccination composition for the 2018-2019 season, and, IIV3 and IIV4 vaccines'major immune responses, durability of immunity, immunogenicity, vaccine efficacy, effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit. The recommendations include: Points of Vaccination clinics (PoVs) should provide influenza vaccination to all persons aged 6 months and above who are willing to be vaccinated and do not have contraindications. No preferential recommendation is made for any influenza vaccine product for persons who can accept ≥1 licensed, recommended, and appropriate products. To decrease the risk of severe infections and complications due to influenza virus infection among high risk groups, the recommendations prioritize seasonal influenza vaccination for children aged 6-60 months, adults ≥60 years of age, persons with specific chronic diseases, healthcare workers, the family members and caregivers of infants <6 months of age, and pregnant women or women who plan to pregnant during the influenza season. Children aged 6 months to 8 years old require 2 doses of influenza vaccine administered a minimum of 4 weeks apart during their first season of vaccination for optimal protection. If they were vaccinated in previous influenza season, 1 dose is recommended. People ≥ 9 years old require 1 dose of influenza vaccine. It is recommended that people receive their influenza vaccination by the end of October. Influenza vaccination should be offered as soon as the vaccination is available. Influenza vaccination should continue to be available for those unable to be vaccinated before the end of October during the whole season. Influenza vaccine is also recommended for use in pregnant women during any trimester. These guidelines are intended for CDC members who are working on influenza control and prevention, PoVs members, healthcare workers from the departments of pediatrics, internal medicine, and infectious diseases, and members of maternity and child care institutions at all levels.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are an independent predictor of survival in patients with breast cancer. In addition, mesenchymal (EMT-CTC) and stem-like (Stem-CTC) CTCs contribute to disease progression. The objective of the overall study is to determine whether a comprehensive lifestyle intervention program started prior to radiotherapy can modulate changes in CTC subsets that are correlated with disease recurrence and progression. For these analyses we examined the association between medical and treatment-related factors and CTCs.
Patients and Methods: Seventy-eight patients with stage II/III breast cancer were recruited and randomized to either the intervention group or a standard care group. The intervention group (n=42) had in-person lifestyle counseling across the 4-6 weeks of radiotherapy (XRT) followed by video counseling for the subsequent 12 months. The standard care group (n=36) was provided patient-education materials for cancer prevention including information on diet, exercise, and stress management, without counseling. Blood samples were collected prior to initiation of XRT, end of XRT, and at 3-month intervals thereafter for up to 5 years. CTC subsets were detected by AdnaTest EMT2 kit (Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands). Samples were considered positive for CTCs if any one of breast (EPCAM, MUC1, and HER2), EMT (TWIST1), or stem cell-related (ALDH1, AKT2, and PI3Kalpha) genes were detected by PCR above the manufacturer's suggested threshold.
Results: The median age of patients was 49 years (range 26-82 years). Thirty-four patients were overweight (BMI 24.4-30) and 44 patients were obese (BMI >30). Forty-five patients were HR+Her2-, 12 patients were HR+Her2+, 5 patients were HR-Her2+, and 16 patients were TNBC. Sixteen patients were stage IIA or IIB, 34 patients were stage IIIA or IIIB, 27 patients were stage IIIC, and 1 was stage IV. Sixty-seven of 78 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT); 13 patients achieved a complete pathological response (pCR). The median follow-up was 21.6 months. CTC data of both intervention and standard groups were similar at baseline. Presence of CTCs at baseline or follow-up time points was not correlated to HR/Her2 status, stage, obesity, or pCR, but was significantly correlated with receiving NACT. Patients without NACT had significantly higher CTCs than patients who underwent NACT (Fisher Exact Test p=0.010). Furthermore, CTCs by the detection of any gene 3 months after completing XRT was associated with shorter PFS (log-rank p=0.016) and OS (p=0.03).
Conclusions:This is an interim analysis of the prognostic potential of CTCs detected by AdnaTest EMT2 kit in non-metastatic breast cancer. We observed a lower proportion of patients with CTCs following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, the relative small sample size and short follow-up time preclude drawing conclusions to the efficacy of using CTCs as surrogate measures for lifestyle interventions, although the presence of CTCs in peripheral blood of patients 3 months after radiation therapy can be a promising indicator of disease relapse and overall survival.

Abstract
Seasonal influenza vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection and complications from infection. Currently, China has licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3) and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), including split-virus influenza vaccine and subunit vaccine. Except for a few major cities, influenza vaccine is a category Ⅱ vaccine, which means influenza vaccination is voluntary, and recipients must pay for it. To strengthen the technical guidance for prevention and control of influenza and operational research on influenza vaccination in China, the National Immunization Advisory Committee (NIAC) Influenza Vaccine Technical Working Group (TWG), updated the 2014 technical guidelines and compiled the "Technical guidelines for seasonal influenza vaccination in China (2018-2019)" . The main updates in this version include: epidemiology, disease burden, types of influenza vaccines, northern hemisphere influenza vaccination composition for the 2018-2019 season, IIV3 and IIV4 immune response, durability of immunity, immunogenicity, vaccine efficacy, effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit. The influenza vaccine TWG provided the recommendations for influenza vaccination for the 2018-2019 influenza season based on existing scientific evidence. The recommendations described in this report include the following: Points of Vaccination clinics (PoVs) should provide influenza vaccination to all persons aged 6 months and above who are willing to be vaccinated and do not have contraindications. No preferential recommendation is made for one influenza vaccine product over another for persons for whom more than one licensed, recommended, and appropriate product is available. To decrease the risk of severe infections and complications due to influenza virus infection among high risk groups, the recommendations prioritize seasonal influenza vaccination for children aged 6-59 months, adults ≥60 years of age, persons with specific chronic diseases, healthcare workers, the family members and caregivers of infants <6 months of age, and pregnant women or women who plan to become pregnant during the influenza season. Children aged 6 months through 8 years require 2 doses of influenza vaccine administered a minimum of 4 weeks apart during their first season of vaccination for optimal protection. If they were vaccinated in 2017-2018 influenza season or a prior season, 1 dose is recommended. People more than 8 years old require 1 dose of influenza vaccine. It is recommended that people receive their influenza vaccination by the end of October. Influenza vaccination should be offered as soon as the vaccination is available. For the people unable to be vaccinated before the end of October, influenza vaccination will continue to be offered for the whole season. Influenza vaccine is also recommended for use in pregnant women during any trimester. These guidelines are intended for use by staff members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at all levels who work on influenza control and prevention, PoVs staff members, healthcare workers from the departments of pediatrics, internal medicine, and infectious diseases, and staff members of maternity and child care institutions at all levels.

Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the factors affecting the patency rate of microsurgical single-stitch longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy and to explore the possible causes of failure. Methods: The clinical data of 87 patients with epididymal obstructive azoospermia who underwent microsurgical vasoepididymostomy from January 2015 to February 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. We observed the patency rate postoperatively and evaluated several factors that possibly related to the patency rates. Preoperative examinations included peripheral blood chromosomes, Y chromosome microdeletions, sex hormones, seminal plasma, etc. After admission, microsurgical single-stitch longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy was performed. During the follow-up, the semen was evaluated to assess the patency rate and the time to patency. Results: The patient's age ranged from 21 to 42 years and the mean age was(25±3) years. Infertility lasted for 1-8 years and the mean infertility time was(2.2±1.1) years. The longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy was successfully completed in 80 patients , 5 cases gave up the anastomosis surgery because of multiple segment obstruction of the vas deferens, complete obstruction of the epididymis or testicular obstruction. Two cases underwent crossed vasovasostomy( sperm was present in the ejaculate in 1 case postoperatively). Of all the patients, 72 were successfully followed up. The follow-up time was 3-29 months, with an average of (12.0±1.7)months. Excluding 3 cases of follow-up time less than 12 months who still had no sperm in the ejaculate, 69 patients' data were in cluded in the final statistics, of which 50 cases with return of sperm in the ejaculate, the overall patency rate was 72.5%(50/69), concentration of sperm was 0.1-137.2 million/ml, and the mean concentration was(29±21) million/ml; with the progressive motile sperm rate ranging from 0-57.9%, the mean rate was(29.9±21.1)%. The patency rates of motile sperm and immobile sperm found in epididymal fluid during surgery were 82.2%(37/45) and 54.2%(13/24), respectively. The patency rate of bilateral and unilateral anastomoses was 77.6%(45/58) and 45.5%(5/11), respectively; the patency rate of caput anastomosis was 47.8%(11/23), and 84.8%(39/46) for corpus or caudal anastomosis. 17 patients achieved natural pregnancy postoperatively, the rate was 34.0%(17/50). Conclusions: The therapeutic effect of microsurgical single-stitch longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy is satisfactory. The motile spermatozoa in epididymal fluid, bilateral surgery and corpus or caudal anastomosis can improve the patency rate postoperatively.

Abstract
Tailoring defense responses to different attackers is important for plant performance. Plants can use secondary metabolites with dual functions in resistance and defense signaling to mount herbivore-specific responses. To date, the specificity and evolution of this mechanism are unclear. Here, we studied the functional architecture, specificity, and genetic basis of defense regulation by benzoxazinoids in cereals. We document that DIMBOA-Glc induces callose as an aphid resistance factor in wheat. O-methylation of DIMBOA-Glc to HDMBOA-Glc increases plant resistance to caterpillars but reduces callose inducibility and resistance to aphids. DIMBOA-Glc induces callose in wheat and maize, but not in Arabidopsis, while the glucosinolate 4MO-I3M does the opposite. We identify a wheat O-methyltransferase (TaBX10) that is induced by caterpillar feeding and converts DIMBOA-Glc to HDMBOA-Glc in vitro. While the core pathway of benzoxazinoid biosynthesis is conserved between wheat and maize, the wheat genome does not contain close homologs of the maize DIMBOA-Glc O-methyltransferase genes, and TaBx10 is only distantly related. Thus, the functional architecture of herbivore-specific defense regulation is similar in maize and wheat, but the regulating biosynthetic genes likely evolved separately. This study shows how two different cereal species independently achieved herbivore-specific defense activation by regulating secondary metabolite production.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics of super-antigen (SAg) of group A Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS), isolated from patients with scarlet fever or pharyngeal infections in Beijing between 2015-2017. Methods: Throat swab specimens from patients with scarlet fever or pharyngeal infections were collected and tested for GAS. Eleven currently known SAg genes including SpeA, speC, speG, speH, speI, speJ, speK, speL, speM, smeZ and ssa were tested by real-time PCR while M protein genes (emm genes) were amplified and sequenced by PCR. Results: A total of 377 GAS were isolated from 6 801 throat swab specimens, with the positive rate as 5.5%. There were obvious changes noticed among speC, speG, speH and speK in three years. A total of 45 SAg genes profiles were observed, according to the SAgs inclusion. There were significant differences appeared in the frequencies among two of the highest SAg genes profiles between emm1 and emm12 strains (χ(2)=38.196, P<0.001; χ(2)=72.310, P<0.001). There also appeared significant differences in the frequencies of speA, speH, speI and speJ between emm1 and emm12 strains (χ(2)=146.154, P<0.001; χ(2)=52.31, P<0.001; χ(2)=58.43, P<0.001; χ(2)=144.70, P<0.001). Conclusions: Obvious changes were noticed among SAg genes including speC, speG, speH and speK from patients with scarlet fever or pharyngeal infections in Beijing between 2015-2017. SAg genes including speA, speH, speI and speJ appeared to be associated with the emm 1 and emm 12 strains. More kinds of SAg genes profiles were isolated form GAS but with no significant differences seen in the main SAg genes profiles, during the epidemic period.

Abstract
Electrolyte gating is a powerful means for tuning the carrier density and exploring the resultant modulation of novel properties on solid surfaces. However, the mechanism, especially its effect on the oxygen migration and electrostatic charging at the oxide heterostructures, is still unclear. Here we explore the electrolyte gating on oxygen-deficient interfaces between SrTiO_{3} (STO) crystals and LaAlO_{3} (LAO) overlayer through the measurements of electrical transport, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectra. We found that oxygen vacancies (O_{vac}) were filled selectively and irreversibly after gating due to oxygen electromigration at the amorphous LAO/STO interface, resulting in a reconstruction of its interfacial band structure. Because of the filling of O_{vac}, the amorphous interface also showed an enhanced electron mobility and quantum oscillation of the conductance. Further, the filling effect could be controlled by the degree of the crystallinity of the LAO overlayer by varying the growth temperatures. Our results reveal the different effects induced by electrolyte gating, providing further clues to understand the mechanism of electrolyte gating on buried interfaces and also opening a new avenue for constructing high-mobility oxide interfaces.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the gender-specific risk factors of new-onset cerebral hemorrhage. Methods: In this prospective cohort study,a total of 98 961 participants((51.1±12.6)years old), who underwent the 2006 to 2007 physical examination and met the inclusion criteria, were enrolled from the Kailuanstudy cohort. There were 78 908 (79.7%) male,and 20 053 (20.3%) female.The incidence of cerebral hemorrhage was observed once per year until December 31, 2016.The difference on the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage between male and female was compared. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was applied to analyze therisk factors of cerebral hemorrhage events among different genders. Results: The participants were followed up for(10.00±0.73) years,and 860 cerebral hemorrhage events were recorded during follow up. The incidence of cerebral hemorrhage in the population was 86.90/10 million person years (standardized incidence rate of 47.85/10 million person years). The incidence of cerebral hemorrhage was significantly higher in male (49.61/10 million person years) than in female (34.07/10 million person years, P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that 45-59 years old, ≥ 60 years old, diabetes,and waist-hip ratio were more strongly related to new-onset of cerebral hemorrhage events in female than in male, and the hazard ratios(95%CI) were 2.33 (1.23-4.43) ,2.71 (1.30-5.66) ,2.16 (1.24-3.74) and 8.79 (1.42-54.32) in female versus 1.55 (1.21-1.97) ,2.16 (1.68-2.78) ,1.19 (0.93-1.53) and 3.21 (1.09-9.41) in male, respectively. The risk of male cerebral hemorrhage increased by 29% (HR=1.29, 95%CI 1.19-1.40) in male and 24% (HR=1.24, 95%CI 1.20-1.28) in female,when the systolic blood pressure increased 10 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). Conclusions: The incidence of cerebral hemorrhage is higher in male than in female in this cohort.The association between systolic blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage is stronger in male than that in female.The associations between age, waist-hip ratio, diabetes and cerebral hemorrhage are stronger in female than in male.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of miR-451a in the migration and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Quantitative Real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were performed to detect the levels of miR-451a and activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) in NSCLC. Transwell assay was employed to analyze the migratory and invasive abilities in NSCLC cells. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to confirm the binding condition of miR-451 and its target gene in NSCLC cells. RESULTS MiR-451a was downregulated in NSCLC tissues and lung cancer cell lines A549 and NCI-H460, while ATF2 was upregulated. The mRNA level of miR-451a was negatively correlated to ATF2. Additionally, miR-451a regulated cell migration and invasion through targeting ATF2. Furthermore, ATF2 could reverse the inhibitory migration and invasion of A549 cells induced by miR-451a. CONCLUSIONS MiR-451a inhibits the migratory and invasive abilities of NSCLC cells through ATF2 regulation. The newly identified miR-451a/ATF2 axis provides a novel insight into the pathogenesis of NSCLC.

Abstract
Objective: The objective was to identify the incidence of influenza-like syndromes and related health behavior factors among Beijing residents. Methods: From December 6, 2013 to January 16, 2014, we selected 150 villages or communities from 30 towns or streets as survey locations using a multi-stage random sampling method, and then conducted a cross-sectional study among 7 354 residents who aged 18 years or above and had live in Beijing for more than a half year using self-administered anonymous questionnaires, and totally 7 327 valid questionnaires are collected. The questionnaire consisted of demographic information, self-reported influenza-like syndromes in the past two weeks, and health behaviors. Multiple logistic regression models were used to identify the factors associated with self-reported influenza-like syndromes. Results: The mean (SD) age of the partcipants was 44.6 (15.2) years. Among them, 6.9% (506 cases) reported having influenza like illness during the past two weeks. The multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that regular physical exercise, optimal hand hygiene, and avoidance of going to the crowded places during respiratory infectious disease epidemics were significantly associated with a lower likelihood of reporting influenza-like syndromes, compared with those without regular physical exercises, without optimal hand hygiene, and not avoiding going to the crowded places, and the OR(95%CI) were 0.80 (0.66-0.97), 0.75 (0.57-0.99) and 0.80 (0.65-0.98), respectively. Conclusion: Personal health behaviors were associated with the incidence of respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza in Beijing, and future interventions to improve personal hygiene behaviors are needed to prevent the spread of respiratory infectious diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To estimate the influenza infection rate among severe acute respiratory infection(SARI) cases and the hospitalization rates of SARI attributable to influenza, based on two sentinel hospital surveillance databases in Beijing, 2015. Methods: Surveillance was conducted at two sentinel hospitals in Beijing in 2015. A total of 1 842 patients who admitted to the sentinel hospitals and met the definition of SARI were enrolled in the study. The respiratory tract specimens of SARI cases were collected, and sent to laboratories within 48 hours for influenza RNA detection. The catchment area of sentinel hospitals was defined by reviewing the home address of inpatients; A total of 1 491 patients were sampled and tested for influenza. The population size of catchment areas was obtained from demographic year book. We investigated the number of pneumonia patients admitted to the sentinel hospitals and other hospitals in catchment areas in 2015, and calculated the proportions of pneumonia patients that were admitted to sentinel hospitals in catchment areas. The catchment population size was calculated using the number of total population of catchment areas multiply by the proportions of pneumonia patients that were admitted at sentinel hospitals. Results: Among 1 491 patients, 13.7% (205 cases) was test positive for influenza viruses, 2 (0.9%) cases positive for influenza A (H1N1), 91 (44.6%) cases influenza A (H3N2), 1 (0.5%) case influenza B/Victoria, 111 (54.0%) cases influenza B/Yamagata. Influenza was associated with an estimated 30 (95%CI:9-51) SARI hospitalizations per 100 000 during 2015. The hospitalization rate was 243 (95%CI: 232-255), 86 (95%CI: 59-112),1(95%CI: 0-5), 8 (95%CI: 0-23) and 92 (95%CI: 16-168) SARI hospitalizations per 100 000 population for<5 years children, 5-14 years children, 15-24 years adult, 25-59 years adult and ≥60 years population, respectively. The hospitalization rate of SARI attributed to influenza A and B was 14 (95%CI:4-17) and 16 (95%CI:0-23) per 100 000 population, respectively. Conclusion: The influenza positive rate among SARI cases was relatively high. The hospitalization burden of SARI attributed to influenza was the greatest in children under 5 year-old.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze clinical feature and treatment outcome of patients with primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL) in reproductive system. Methods: A total of 26 patients with DLBCL in reproductive system were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical features, laboratory data were included in Kaplan-Meier and prognostic analysis. Results: In our center, the incidence of primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma in reproductive system was 3.5% in all DLBCL patients, and the median age was 62.0 years. Male are more common with unilateral testicular involvement, and 38.5% patients belong to Ⅲ and Ⅳstage while 84.6% patients belong to non-germinal center B cell-like subgroup. The overall response rate(ORR) for the whole group was 88.5%. The complete response rate was 76.9%. The 3, 5-year progression free survival rate was 70.5% and 62.7% , and the 3, 5-year overall survival rate was 83.5% and 69.6%, respectively. The most common recurrent sites were contralateral testis and central nervous system. Rituximab can improve the survival of patients and combined with contralateral irradiation can furtherly improve progression free survival of patients(P=0.047). Clinical stage, B symptom, IPI, the level of LDH, and CRP, age>60 years, and initial treatment outcome were predictive of overall survival. Conclusion: Primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma in reproductive system is a rare type of extranodal DLBCL which occurs in older men with aggressive features. The most common sites of recurrence were contralateral testis and central nervous system. Surgery, rituximab , radiotherapy and prophylactic intrathecal injection can improve the survival of patients and may be the first-line treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether CD137-CD137L signaling can affect the autophagy of mouse vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) through JNK signal pathway. Methods: Primary culture of C57BL/6J mouse thoracic aorta VSMCs was performed by tissue block adherence method. VSMCs between the third to fifth passages were isolated and cultured. VSMCs were divided into 4 groups: control group, CD137 agonist group, JNK inhibition group, and DMSO group. VSMCs in CD137 agonist group were treated with recombinant protein of CD137L (10 μg/ml), VSMCs in JNK inhibition group were treated with JNK inhibitor SP600125 (10 μmol/L) for 30 minutes followed by recombinant protein of CD137L (10 μg/ml) and DMSO group was treated with the same amount of DMSO in JNK inhibition group for 30 minutes, then added recombinant protein of CD137L (10 μg/ml). Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of p-JNK, LCⅡ and p62 in each group. Fluorescence microscopy was used to track the changes of autophagy in cells which was infected with adenovirus expressing tandem mRFP-GFP-LC3. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Results: (1) Compared with the control group, stimulating CD137-CD137L axis by recombinant protein of CD137L significantly upregulated the expression of p-JNK, LCⅡ and p62 (1.15±0.19 vs. 0.72±0.21, P<0.05;1.03±0.13 vs. 0.59±0.15, P<0.05, and 1.10±0.19 vs. 0.76±0.15, P<0.05). These effects could be reduced by JNK inhibitor (0.61±0.21 vs. 1.15±0.19, P<0.05;0.74±0.11 vs. 1.03±0.13, P<0.05, and 0.21±0.12 vs. 1.10±0.19, P<0.05). The expression of these proteins in DMSO group remained unchanged compared with CD137 agonist group (P>0.05). (2) Changes of autophagy in cells of various group: the number of total fluorescent spots and yellow fluorescent spots in CD137 agonist group was significantly increased compared to control group (total fluorescent spots:(93.00±14.11)/cell vs. (52.33±9.61)/cell, P<0.05, and (64.33±6.81)/cell vs. (25.67±3.51)/cell, P<0.05), moreover, the number of yellow fluorescent spots was higher than the red fluorescent spots fluorescent spots in CD137 agonist group. Compared with CD137 agonist group, pretreatment with JNK inhibitor significantly reduced the number of total fluorescent spots and yellow fluorescent spots ((53.00±3.17)/cell vs. (93.00±14.11)/cell, P<0.05,and (15.33±4.51)/cell vs. (64.33±6.81)/cell, P<0.05). The red fluorescent spots were higher than the yellow fluorescent spots in JNK inhibition group. The number of total fluorescent spots and yellow fluorescent spots in CD137 agonist group was not affected by pretreatment with DMSO (P>0.05). (3) The number of intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes was significantly higher in CD137 agonist group than in control group((17.67±6.03)/cell vs. (5.67±2.52)/cell, P<0.05), and the number of autophagosomes was higher than that of autolysosomes in CD137 agonist group((14.00±4.00)/cell vs. (3.67±2.08)/cell, P<0.05). The number of intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes was significantly lower in JNK inhibition group compared to CD137 agonist group((5.67±4.04)/cell vs. (17.67±6.03)/cell, P<0.05) and the number of autophagosomes was lower than that of autolysosomes in JNK inhibition group((1.33±1.53)/cell vs. (4.33±2.52)/cell, P<0.05). The number of intracellular autophagosomes and autolysosomes was similar between DMSO group and CD137 agonist group (P>0.05). Conclusion: CD137-CD137L signal may influence autophagy of mouse VSMCs via JNK pathway.

The Role of Mitochondria-Associated Reactive Oxygen Species in the Amyloid β Induced Production of Angiogenic Factors b y ARPE-19 Cells. Curr Mol Med 2018; 17:140-148. [PMID: 28429668 DOI: 10.2174/1566524017666170331162616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2016] [Revised: 02/18/2017] [Accepted: 02/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms whereby Amyloidbeta (Aβ) induces the production of angiogenic factors by a human retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19) cells. METHODS ARPE-19 cells obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) were utilized in this study. The expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Interleukin-8 (IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and complement activation fragments C3a and C5a were measured by Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The production of mitochondria-associated reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS The expression of VEGF, IL-8, MCP-1, C3a and C5a was significantly increased in Aβ-treated ARPE-19 cells. Mitochondria-associated ROS production was also significantly increased when exposed to Aβ. Inhibition of mitochondrial ROS with Diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) markedly decreased the Aβ induced production of VEGF, IL-8, MCP-1, C3a and C5a by ARPE-19 cells. Anti-C3a or anti-C5a neutralizing antibodies did not have a detectable influence on the secretion of VEGF, IL-8 and MCP-1 by ARPE-19 cells upon stimulation with Aβ. CONCLUSION Our results support the hypothesis that Aβ is involved in the pathogenesis of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) formation by promoting the production of the angiogenic cytokines VEGF, IL-8 and MCP-1 by RPE cells. Mitochondrial ROS was shown to play a role in the regulation of Aβ induced expression of these cytokines.

Abstract
Previous studies show that endoplasmic reticulum‐associated aminopeptidase (ERAP1/ERAP2) and runt‐related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) gene polymorphisms are associated with AS (ankylosing spondylitis) in European Caucasians. However, contradictory results were reported in different Asian populations. The purpose of this study was to determine whether eleven candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ERAP1/ERAP2 and six in RUNX3 genes confer susceptibility to AS with or without acute anterior uveitis (AAU) [AS+AAU+ or AS+AAU–] in Chinese Han. Therefore, a case–control association study was performed in 882 AS+AAU–, 884 AS+AAU+ and 1727 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed using the iPLEXGold genotyping assay. A meta‐analysis was performed to assess the association of polymorphisms of ERAP1 with AS susceptibility in Asian populations. No association was found between SNPs of ERAP1/ERAP2/RUNX3 and susceptibility of AS with or without AAU. A case–control study between patients with human leucocyte antigen HLA‐B27‐positive and healthy controls also failed to demonstrate an association of the tested SNP with AS with or without AAU. Moreover, a meta‐analysis showed that there was no association of rs30187, rs27037, rs27980, rs27434 and rs27582 in ERAP1 with AS in Chinese Han. Taken together, 17 SNPs in ERAP1/ERAP2 and RUNX3 genes did not confer disease susceptibility to AS in Chinese Han.

Abstract
The azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v_{2} of prompt D^{0}, D^{+}, D^{*+}, and D_{s}^{+} mesons was measured in midcentral (30%-50% centrality class) Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The D mesons were reconstructed via their hadronic decays at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, in the transverse momentum interval 1<p_{T}<24 GeV/c. The measured D-meson v_{2} has similar values as that of charged pions. The D_{s}^{+} v_{2}, measured for the first time, is found to be compatible with that of nonstrange D mesons. The measurements are compared with theoretical calculations of charm-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding medium and have the potential to constrain medium parameters.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of orbifloxacin was studied after a single dose (7.5 mg/kg) of intravenous or intramuscular administration to crucian carp (Carassius auratus) reared in freshwater at 25°C. Plasma samples were collected from six fish per sampling point. Orbifloxacin concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a 0.02 μg/ml limit of detection, then were subjected to noncompartmental analysis. After intravenous injection, initial concentration of 5.83 μg/ml, apparent elimination rate constant (λz ) of 0.039 hr-1 , apparent elimination half-life (T1/2λz ) of 17.90 hr, systemic total body clearance (Cl) of 75.47 ml hr-1 kg-1 , volume of distribution (Vz) of 1,948.76 ml/kg, and volume of distribution at steady-state (Vss) of 1,863.97 ml/kg were determined, respectively. While after intramuscular administration, the λz , T1/2λz , mean absorption time (MAT), absorption half-life (T1/2ka ), and bioavailability were determined as 0.027 hr-1 , 25.69, 10.26, 7.11 hr, and 96.46%, respectively, while the peak concentration was observed as 3.11 ± 0.06 μg/ml at 2.0 hr. It was shown that orbifloxacin was completely but relatively slowly absorbed, extensively distributed, and slowly eliminated in crucian carp, and an orbifloxacin dosage of 10 mg/kg administered intravenously or intramuscularly would be expected to successfully treat crucian carp infected by strains with MIC values ≤0.5 μg/ml.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Effective treatment options for triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer (TN-IBC), the most aggressive form of breast cancer, are currently lacking. We previously reported that mediators of inflammation promote the growth of TN-IBC xenografts. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid (fish oil) with anti-inflammatory properties, is an emerging FDA-approved therapeutic with a favorable toxicology profile. Here we aimed to develop a novel approach to enhance EPA efficacy against TN-IBC by identifying a kinase inhibitor that synergizes with EPA's antitumor activity.
Methods and Results: Using a high-throughput siRNA screen in the TN-IBC cell line SUM149PT, we identified inhibition of ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2), an oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase, as a target that sensitizes TN-IBC cells to EPA therapy. To determine the clinical relevance of EPHA2, we investigated a meta-analysis of breast cancer mRNA expression data sets and found that high EPHA2 tumor expression, compared with low expressing, correlated significantly with poor overall survival in TN-IBC patients (P = 0.01), while not with other subtypes. Similar findings were observed in vitro, were EPHA2 protein and mRNA overexpression occurred predominantly in the TN subtypes among 49 and 51 breast cancer cell lines (63% and 47%, respectively), highlighting EPHA2 translational potential. Functional expression studies using proliferation and apoptosis assays in vitro, and xenografts in vivo, were performed in two EPHA2-expressing TN-IBC cell lines, SUM149PT and BCX010, to validate EPHA2 as a synergistic combinational target with EPA. EPHA2 gene silencing in combination with EPA significantly reduced cell growth, and enhanced apoptosis, compared with untreated and monotherapy in vitro (P < 0.05), and in vivo (P < 0.001). To translate our findings to the clinic, we validated dasatinib, an FDA-approved small molecule inhibitor of EPHA2, in combination to EPA to significantly enhance apoptosis of TN-IBC cells in vitro (P < 0.05) and in vivo (P < 0.05), compared with untreated and monotherapies. Using membrane fluidity assessment and cholesterol quantification we determined that apoptosis induction after combination therapy was due to increased membrane rigidity and cholesterol concentrations in the plasma membrane of TN-IBC cells (P < 0.05, compared with monotherapies). Finally, we discovered by western blot and gain/loss-of-expression studies that combination therapy inhibited the cholesterol efflux protein ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 1 (ABCA1), which plays a significant role mediating increased cellular cholesterol (P < 0.05), cell membrane rigidity (P < 0.05), and induction of apoptosis (P < 0.05) in TN-IBC after EPA and EPHA2-targeting combination therapy.
Conclusions: This is the first study demonstrating that EPA can enhance conventional targeted therapy against breast cancer. Our study provides molecular and preclinical evidence to support the development of an EPA/EPHA2-inhibition–based phase I clinical trial for patients with EPHA2-positive TN-IBC; our study further suggests the use of EPHA2 and ABCA1 protein expression as biomarkers for patient selection and therapeutic response.

Abstract
The photophysical properties and solution thermodynamics of water soluble trivalent americium (Am(III)) complexes formed with multidentate chromophore-bearing ligands, 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO), Enterobactin, and 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO), were investigated. The three chelators were shown to act as antenna chromophores for Am(III), generating sensitized luminescence emission from the metal upon complexation, with very short lifetimes ranging from 33 to 42 ns and low luminescence quantum yields (10(-3) to 10(-2)%), characteristic of Near Infra-Red emitters in similar systems. The specific emission peak of Am(III) assigned to the (5)D1 → (7)F1 f-f transition was exploited to characterize the high proton-independent stability of the complex formed with the most efficient sensitizer 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO), with a log β110 = 20.4 ± 0.2 value. In addition, the optical and solution thermodynamic features of these Am(III) complexes, combined with density functional theory calculations, were used to probe the influence of electronic structure on coordination properties across the f-element series and to gain insight into ligand field effects.

Abstract
We report a precise measurement of the J/ψ elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The J/ψ mesons are reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|<0.9) in the dielectron decay channel and at forward rapidity (2.5<y<4.0) in the dimuon channel, both down to zero transverse momentum. At forward rapidity, the elliptic flow v_{2} of the J/ψ is studied as a function of the transverse momentum and centrality. A positive v_{2} is observed in the transverse momentum range 2<p_{T}<8 GeV/c in the three centrality classes studied and confirms with higher statistics our earlier results at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV in semicentral collisions. At midrapidity, the J/ψ v_{2} is investigated as a function of the transverse momentum in semicentral collisions and found to be in agreement with the measurements at forward rapidity. These results are compared to transport model calculations. The comparison supports the idea that at low p_{T} the elliptic flow of the J/ψ originates from the thermalization of charm quarks in the deconfined medium but suggests that additional mechanisms might be missing in the models.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate human exposure to live poultry (poultry feeding and purchasing) in the residents in Beijing and related factors during the second wave of avian influenza A(H7N9) epidemic during 2013-2014, and provide scientific evidence for avian influenza prevention and control. Methods: A total of 7 366 adults aged ≥18 years were selected through multi-stage stratified sampling in Beijing for a questionnaire survey. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence factors of human exposure to live poultry. Results: The live poultry feeding rate and live poultry purchasing rate in residents in Beijing in the past year were 5.3% (95%CI: 4.8%-5.8%) and 6.0% (95%CI: 5.5%-6.5%) respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that lower educational level of primary school and below, (OR=1.82, 95%CI: 1.22-2.72); being farmer (OR=2.49, 95%CI:1.89-3.29) or being unemployed (OR=1.65, 95%CI: 1.08-2.52); being non local resident (OR=1.54, 95%CI: 1.10-2.16); living in suburban area (OR=2.36, 95%CI: 1.77-3.16); having one child (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.42-2.17) or ≥2 children (OR=2.15, 95%CI: 1.43-3.22) in the family were the risk factors associated with feeding poultry compared with higher educational level of college and above, being employed, being local resident, living in urban area and having no child. And being farmer (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.27-2.02); being non local resident (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.31-2.35); living in suburban area (OR=2.05, 95%CI: 1.61-2.61); having one child (OR=1.24, 95%CI: 1.02-1.52) or ≥2 children (OR=1.78, 95%CI: 1.21-2.63) were the risk factors for purchasing live poultry. Conclusion: Some residents living in Beijing still have exposure to live poultry, and targeted measures should be taken to reduce the exposure to poultry.
