Abstract
Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance profiles of Campylobacter spp. in Shanghai from 2013 to 2016. Methods: Stool samples collected from diarrhea outpatients were cultured for Campylobacter spp., using the membrane filter method in 23 hospitals under the sentinel programs, from 2013 to 2016. All the strains were identified by biochemical tests and PCR. Broth microdilution method was used to investigate the antibiotic resistance of 179 Campylobacter spp. strains that including azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, tetracycline, nalidixic acid, telycin, klinthromycin and flurbenicol. Results: A total of 179 Campylobacter spp. strains were isolated from 10 444 stool samples (1.7%). Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli appeared as the predominant ones (94.4% and 5.6%). The incidence rate was higher in children than that in adults, with peaks of infections mainly from April to June and October to December. Campylobacter jejuni strains seemed highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (96.4%), tetracycline (83.4%) and nalidixic acid (81.7%). The resistant rates appeared higher on Campylobacter coli strains that isolated from patients. Some strains were resistant to multi-drugs. Conclusions: Campylobacter spp. seemed one of the important pathogens that isolated from outpatients with diarrhea, in Shanghai. Both age and season related characteristics of Campylobacter spp. were seen. Campylobacter spp. isolated from patients was highly resistant to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and nalidixic acid.

Abstract
This Letter reports the first extraction of individual antineutrino spectra from ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu fission and an improved measurement of the prompt energy spectrum of reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay. The analysis uses 3.5×10^{6} inverse beta-decay candidates in four near antineutrino detectors in 1958 days. The individual antineutrino spectra of the two dominant isotopes, ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu, are extracted using the evolution of the prompt spectrum as a function of the isotope fission fractions. In the energy window of 4-6 MeV, a 7% (9%) excess of events is observed for the ^{235}U (^{239}Pu) spectrum compared with the normalized Huber-Mueller model prediction. The significance of discrepancy is 4.0σ for ^{235}U spectral shape compared with the Huber-Mueller model prediction. The shape of the measured inverse beta-decay prompt energy spectrum disagrees with the prediction of the Huber-Mueller model at 5.3σ. In the energy range of 4-6 MeV, a maximal local discrepancy of 6.3σ is observed.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The Reliable Change Index (RCI) is a commonly used method for interpreting change in neuropsychological test scores over time. However, the RCI is a psychometric phenomenon that, to date, has not been validated by neuroanatomical evidence.
Method
Longitudinal neuroimaging and neuropsychological data from baseline and one-year follow-up visits were retrieved from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. The RCI was used to identify participants showing reliable decline on ADNI-MEM and ADNI-EF factor scores, which provide composite measures of memory and executive functioning, respectively. For each cognitive test score, two groups (reliable change vs. no reliable change) were matched on potential confounding variables using a genetic algorithm. Longitudinal neuroanatomical data were analyzed using tensor-based morphometry.
Results
Whole brain analysis revealed that reliable change on ADNI-MEM was associated with extended atrophy of the temporal lobe, the parahippocampal gyrus, the entorhinal cortex, and the posterior cingulate gyrus (Left Figure). Similar extended atrophy patterns were found for reliable change on ADNI-EF, except that the atrophy was more extensive and of higher magnitude (Right Figure). Regional analysis further confirmed that in such brain regions, the reliable change group manifested higher grey matter loss than the no change group.
Conclusion
The current study not only validated clinical usage of the RCI with neuroanatomical evidence but also practically suggested patterns of likely brain atrophy when reliable cognitive decline is detected.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the seasonality and etiological characteristics of infectious diarrhea in adults from Shanghai. Methods: Adult patients with diarrhea who had visited the enteric disease clinics in 22 hospitals that carrying on the Diarrhea Comprehensive Surveillance sentinel programs in Shanghai during 2014-2017, were surveyed. Stool specimens were collected according to the different intervals of sampling and detected for 12 bacteria and 5 viruses. Concentration ratio and circular distribution method were used for data analysis. Results: From 2014 to 2017, a total of 9 573 stool specimens were collected from the targeted diarrhea patients ≥18 years old (n=96 067), through the Shanghai Diarrhea Comprehensive Surveillance program. The positive rate of detection was 46.44%. Seasonal peaks of infectious diarrhea were both seen in summer (bacteria peak, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc.) and in winter (virus peak, Norovirus, etc.). Both bacterial and viral infections presented seasonal concentration (Raleigh's test P<0.001) but more obvious with bacterial infection. Viral infection accounted for 60.19% of the cause of infectious diarrhea. The top five predominant pathogens appeared as Norovirus, Rotavirus, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Salmonella spp.. Conclusions: Among the adult outpatients with infectious diarrhea in Shanghai, obvious seasonality was seen, with peaks in both summer and winter. Viral infection with Norovirus in particular, appeared as the predominant source of infection. Active, continuous and comprehensive diarrhea-related surveillance programs would be able to monitor the changing dynamic of pathogen spectrum, and lead to the adoption of targeted preventive measures.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiologic characteristics of Norovirus among adult patients suffering from infectious diarrhea in Shanghai, so as to provide evidence for developing related strategies on prevention and control of the disease. Methods: Diarrheal outpatients were monitored at the 'Intestinal clinic' from 22 hospitals involved in the sentinel surveillance program in Shanghai. Information on demographic and epidemiologic features of the patients was collected while data and clinical, fecal specimens were collected and sent to the district CDC for Norovirus detection. Positive rates of Norovirus were also compared in various populations and seasons during 2013-2018. Multivariate logistic regression model was adopted to fit into the comparisons between non-Norovirus and Norovirus groups. Results: 19.28% of the 12 083 diarrheal cases were found to have carried the Norovirus, with GⅡgroup the most commonly identified genotype. Rates of detection was seen higher in males (20.78%) than in females (17.73%). 30-44 year-old were found having the highest positive rate (21.51%). The positive rates were found the highest (23.60%) in the year of 2015. All the above shown differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Diarrheal patients affected with Norovirus would present watery stool (75.94%) and vomiting (35.84%). Data from the multivariate logistic analysis showed that factors as: being males, 30-44 years old, officials/clerks, in winter season and with histories of travelling etc., were related to higher risks on Norovirus infection. Conclusions: Infectious diarrhea caused by Norovirus occurred all year round, with seasonal peaks seen in winter and spring, in Shanghai. Specific prevention and control measures should be taken on Norovirus- caused infectious diarrhea, according to the difference on age, gender and season.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Every seventh diagnosis is a misdiagnosis. Each year, 1.5 million lives could be saved worldwide with the correct diagnosis. Physicians have to consider over 20,000 diseases. A study from Harvard University published in 2015 tested 19 symptom checkers and found them to be insufficient, with only 29-71% accuracy in diagnosis. OBJECTIVE The current study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of new symptom checkers from an ENT perspective. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors update the abovenamed diagnostic accuracy comparison by (1) including the five new symptom checkers Symptoma, Ada, FindZebra, Mediktor, and Babylon; and (2) normalizing results of the previously tested symptom checkers as to reflect each diagnostic accuracy based on the same set of patient vignettes. The winner is then compared to the two symptom checkers with the most scientific evidence, namely Isabel and FindZebra, on the basis of an ENT-specific test with patient vignettes sourced from the British Medical Journal. RESULTS Most of the new symptom checkers demonstrated diagnostic accuracy rates within the previously established range, with the exception of Symptoma, which scored the right diagnosis in 82.2% of cases at the top of the list (+38% points), and in 100% of cases in the top 3 (+29% points) and the top 10 (+16% points), thus raising the bar in this field. The cross-validation with ENT cases resulted in a diagnostic accuracy of 64.3 vs. 21.4 vs. 26.2% (top 1), 92.9 vs. 40.5 vs. 42.9% (top 3), and 100 vs. 61.9 vs. 54.8% (top 10) for Symptoma vs. Isabel vs. FindZebra, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Symptoma is the first and only viable solution in this market. Large-scale studies should be conducted to further validate these results as well as to assess the actual practical performance of the symptom checkers and their ability to diagnose rare diseases.

Abstract
Silver nanowires are widely used in catalysts, surface enhanced Raman scattering, microelectronic equipment, thin film solar cells, microelectrodes and biosensors for their excellent conductivity, heat transfer, low surface resistance, high transparency and good biocompatibility. However, the optical nonlinearity of silver nanowires has not been further explored yet. In this paper, three silver nanowire samples with different concentrations are produced via a typical hydrothermal method. Their applications to fiber lasers are implemented to prove the optical nonlinearity of silver nanowires for the first time. Based on three kinds of silver nanowires, the mode-locked operation of fiber lasers is successfully realized. Moreover, the fiber laser based on the silver nanowire with a concentration of 2 mg/L demonstrates the shortest pulse duration of 149.3 fs. The experiment not only proves the optical nonlinearity of silver nanowires, but also has some enlightenment on the selection of the optimum concentration of silver nanowires in the consideration of ultrashort pulse output.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between interleukin-6 (IL-6) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and the occurrence and prognosis of hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF). Methods: Patients with chronic hepatic diseases diagnosed as HBV infection in the Hepatology Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from July 2012 to March 2018 were divided into HBV-ACLF and non-ACLF group. SNP genotyping of eight loci in IL-6 gene (rs1524107, rs1800795, rs1800797, rs2069827, rs2069830, rs2069837, rs2069840 and rs2069845) was determined by the improved multi-temperature ligase detection reaction (imLDRTM) technique. Simultaneously, case data were reviewed with the 3-months followed up survival condition of the ACLF group. Normally distributed data were expressed as arithmetic means and SDs, and t-test was adopted. Data with skewed distribution were expressed as medians with interquartile range, and were measured by non-parametric test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relative risk of genetic polymorphism and HBV-ACLF as well as the relationship between IL-6 SNPs with the occurrence and prognosis of HBV-ACLF. Results: Four hundred patients were included in the study, with 122 (30.5%) in the HBV-ACLF and 278 (69.5%) in the non-ACLF group. There were significant differences in total bilirubin, albumin, and white blood cell count, percentage of neutrophils, platelet count, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, prothrombin time and international standardized ratio, creatinine and the model for end-stage liver disease score between the two groups (P < 0.001). The genotype of IL-6 genes (rs1800795, rs1800797, rs2069827, and rs2069830) of all subjects showed no mutation or the mutation rate under 1%. There was no significant difference in the genotype of IL-6 (rs1524107, rs2069837, rs2069840 and rs2069845) between the two groups (P > 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the SNPs in the above four loci of IL-6 gene was not associated with HBV-ACLF risk, nor had significant correlation with the 3-months prognosis. Conclusion: The SNP genotyping of eight loci in IL-6 gene (rs1524107, rs1800795, rs1800797, rs2069827, rs2069830, rs2069837, rs2069840 and rs2069845) is unrelated to the occurrence and short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the treatment effect of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) and explore prognostic factors. Methods: The clinical data of 635 patients diagnosed as GBM at Neurosurgical Oncology Department Ⅳ of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2007 to March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 386 males and 249 females with an age of (48.7±11.8) years (range: 18-75 years). Patients were divided into three groups according to the time of admission: 2007-2010 group(n=174), 2011-2014 group (n=237) and 2015-2018 group (n=224). Kaplan-Meier plot was used to analyze the effects of different treatment periods, treatment schemes and clinical factors on the survival of patients with GBM. Cox proportion hazard regression analysis was used to identify independent prognostic factors. Results: The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients in 2007-2010 group, 2011-2014 group, 2015-2018 group was 9.0 months (95% CI: 7.5-10.5), 10.0 months (95% CI: 8.8-11.2), 12.0 months (95% CI: 10.7-13.3) and 17.0 months (95% CI: 13.2-20.8), 20.0 months (95% CI: 16.9-23.1), 23.0 months(95% CI: 17.5-28.5), respectively. The PFS and OS of patients improved significantly over the years (χ(2)=9.693, P=0.008 and χ(2)=8.616, P=0.013). Multivariate survival analysis showed that age, extent of resection, radiotherapy and tumor distant dissemination were independent prognostic factors (all P<0.05). Conclusions: With the continuous development of clinical treatment regimen, the therapeutic effect of Chinese GBM patients has improved remarkably. Age, extent of resection, radiotherapy and tumor distant dissemination are independent prognostic factors associated with survival time.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of detecting circulating tumor cells based on capture of heteroploid chromosome cells in peripheral blood of glioma patients. Methods: A total of 88 patients who were considered to suffer from gliomas and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study during January 2016 to December 2016 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, from whom 6 ml preoperative blood was collected. Subtraction enrichment (SE)-immunostaining FISH (iFISH) was applied to capture the heteroploid chromosome 8 cells in those samples. Meanwhile, centromere probe 8(CEP-8)-FISH was used to identify aneuploid cells in 10 tumors and 10 brain tissues. Results: Numerous heteroploid chromosome 8 cells were observed in tumors whereas negative result was present in brain tissues (P<0.01). CTC was successfully detected in 90.9% glioma patients, in contrast, only one healthy volunteer was shown with a heteroploid chromosome 8 cell (P<0.01). Glial fibrillary acidic protein was not exhibited in the overwhelming majority of CTC (96.1%). High grade glioma (HGG) without IDH mutation possessed much more CTC than low grade (12.0 vs 2.2), P<0.01. Furthermore, multiploidy (≥5 copies) CTC accounted for a much significant percentage in HGG, either in tumors originating from oligodendrocyte or astrocyte (75.9% vs 56.0%), P<0.01; 62.7% vs 51.7%, P=0.016, respectively). Conclusion: CTC could be identified and enumerated in glioma by detecting aneuploidy cells in blood. The number and multiploidy proportion of CTC may be correlative with tumor grade and molecular characteristics.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the definition of heat wave based on mortality risk assessment in different regions of China. Methods: Daily mortality (from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention) and meteorological data (from National Meteorological Information Center in China) from 66 counties with a population of over 200 000 were collected from 2006-2011. With the consideration of climate type and administrative division, China was classified as seven regions. Firstly, distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was used to estimate community-specific effects of temperature on non-accidental mortality. Secondly, a multivariate meta-analysis was applied to pool the estimates of community-specific effects to explore the region-specific temperature threshold and the duration for definition of heat wave. Results: We defined regional heat wave of Northeast, North, Northwest, East, Central and Southwest China as being two or more consecutive days with daily mean temperature higher than or equal to the P(64), P(71), P(85), P(67), P(75) and P(77) of warm season (May to October) temperature, respectively, while the thresholds of temperature were 21.6, 23.7, 24.3, 25.7, 28.0 and 25.3 ℃. The heat wave in South China was defined as five or more consecutive days with daily mean temperature higher than or equal to the P(93) (30.4 ℃) of warm season (May to October) temperature. Conclusion: The region-specific definition of heat wave developed in our study may provide local government with the guidance of establishment and implementation of early heat-health response systems to address the negative health outcomes due to heat wave.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is the highest lethality in all tumors. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 80% of all LC. Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharide (ASPS) is extracted from the root of Acanthopanax senticosus (AS). Herein, we examined the effect and molecular mechanism of ASPS on NSCLC. The proliferation, invasion and migration of NCI-H520 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), transwell assay and wound healing assay, respectively. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related factors were evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) and western blot assay. Our results observed that ASPS significantly decreased the proliferation of cells at 24 and 48 h. Moreover, ASPS markedly repressed the invasion and migration capacities of cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Besides, ASPS obviously down-regulated the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, fibronectin 1 (FN1), vimentin, wnt3a, phosphorylated-glycogen synthase kinase 3β (p-GSK3β) and cyclin D1, whereas, up-regulating E-cadherin level. The level of GSK3β was not changed in the different groups. ASPS conspicuously inhibited the abilities of proliferation and metastasis in human non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H520 possibly by suppressing Wnt/β-catenin pathway mediated-EMT.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the presence of Campylobacter spp. in captive kiwi (Apteryx spp.) and compare their genotypic profiles with those of human and animal origin, in order to assess their potential for zoonotic or zooanthroponotic transmission. METHODS Conventional selective enrichment and filter-based isolation methods were applied to isolate Campylobacter spp. from fresh faecal samples from 12 North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) and one great spotted kiwi (A. haastii), housed in one of five different areas in a kiwi sanctuary in Christchurch, New Zealand. Isolates were identified using multiplex PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. High-resolution rapid genotyping using multiplex ligation-dependant probe amplification-based binary typing (MBiT) was applied and profiles compared with similar results from 2,165 Campylobacter spp. isolates contained in a database derived from human clinical, veterinary and environmental samples. RESULTS One isolate of C. jejuni, and one belonging to the C. lari phylogenetic group were recovered from faeces from two kiwi. High-resolution rapid genotyping by MBiT demonstrated these to be indistinguishable from isolates obtained previously from human cases of diarrhoea, and others from chicken, cattle, sheep and water. CONCLUSIONS These data provide evidence for potential zoonotic or zooanthroponotic transmission of Campylobacter spp. in kiwi with implications for management of birds kept in captivity. We believe this is the first formal report of C. jejuni and a C. lari-like organism in kiwi. ABBREVIATIONS MBiT: Multiplex ligation-dependant probe amplification-based binary typing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a hepatitis E (HE) vaccine using an accelerated vaccination schedule (vaccine doses at 0, 7 and 21 days). METHODS A total of 126 participants aged ≥18 years were randomly assigned to receive the hepatitis E virus vaccine in either the accelerated group (0, 7 and 21 days) or the routine group (0, 1 and 6 months). Serology samples were obtained at 0, 21, 28 and 51 days, and 7 months in the accelerated group, or 0, 1, 2 and 7 months in the routine group after the first vaccine injection. Adverse events (AEs) reported during the whole study were analysed. RESULTS A total of 126 participants were randomized, 63 for each group. Sixty-two participants in the accelerated group and 63 in the routine group received at least one dose of vaccine; 57 and 63 participants received all three doses and were included in per-protocol set, respectively. In the per-protocol population, at 1 month after the last dose (accelerated group at 51 days versus routine group at 7 months), the seropositive rates were both 100% (57/57 and 63/63, respectively), and the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) were 8.51 WHO units/mL (95% CI 6.73-10.76) in the accelerated group and 9.67 WHO units/mL (95% CI 7.67-12.20) in the routine group. The ratio of the accelerated group GMC to the routine group GMC was 0.88 (95% CI 0.61-2.17, lower limit of 95% CI > 0.5), indicating that the accelerated vaccination schedule was non-inferior to the routine one. The overall incidence rates of solicited AEs in the accelerated and routine groups were 32.26% (20/62) and 30.16% (19/63), respectively (p 0.800). Most AEs were moderate. CONCLUSIONS An accelerated schedule is safe and provides protective antibodies in a shorter time compared with the routine schedule. The accelerated schedule should be recommended to adults who are travelling on short notice to an HE-endemic area or during an HE outbreak (Clinical Trial Registration. NCT03168412).

Abstract
We report a measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment with nearly 4 million reactor ν[over ¯]_{e} inverse β decay candidates observed over 1958 days of data collection. The installation of a flash analog-to-digital converter readout system and a special calibration campaign using different source enclosures reduce uncertainties in the absolute energy calibration to less than 0.5% for visible energies larger than 2 MeV. The uncertainty in the cosmogenic ^{9}Li and ^{8}He background is reduced from 45% to 30% in the near detectors. A detailed investigation of the spent nuclear fuel history improves its uncertainty from 100% to 30%. Analysis of the relative ν[over ¯]_{e} rates and energy spectra among detectors yields sin^{2}2θ_{13}=0.0856±0.0029 and Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.471_{-0.070}^{+0.068})×10^{-3} eV^{2} assuming the normal hierarchy, and Δm_{32}^{2}=-(2.575_{-0.070}^{+0.068})×10^{-3} eV^{2} assuming the inverted hierarchy.

Abstract
Background Afatinib, an irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (egfr tki), is approved for first-line therapy in advanced EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) and has previously demonstrated activity after failure of chemotherapy and reversible egfr tkis, with improved response and progression-free survival, compared with placebo. Outcomes in pretreated patients with advanced nsclc receiving afatinib through a Canadian special access program (sap) are reported here. Methods Patients with nsclc progressing after at least 1 line of chemotherapy and an egfr tki were eligible to enrol in the sap. Characteristics of patients from the two largest accruing Canadian centres were retrospectively reviewed, including demographics, disease and treatment data, and patient outcomes. Results The 53 patients who received afatinib (57% women, 51% never-smokers, 26% of East Asian ethnicity, and 66% with adenocarcinoma) had a median age of 59 years. EGFR mutations were documented in 25%, and EGFR wild-type in 8%. All patients had received prior egfr tki treatment, with 42% achieving a response. Patients took afatinib for a median of 2 months (range: 0-26 months); 17% required 1 or more dose reductions. Of 47 evaluable patients receiving afatinib, 10 experienced tumour shrinkage, and 11, stable disease. Median survival from afatinib initiation was 5 months (95% confidence interval: 2 months to 8 months). Grade 3 or greater diarrhea, rash, paronychia, and stomatitis were seen in 9%, 11%, 6%, and 4% of patients respectively. Conclusions In an unselected population of pretreated patients with advanced nsclc after tki failure, median survival with afatinib therapy was 5 months. Through a sap, afatinib demonstrated activity in clinical practice, with manageable toxicity.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the difference of anterior segment structure between Chinese Han people and American Caucasians, and to explore the confounding factors of anterior chamber angle. Methods: Cross-sectional study. The study was designed to include two healthy groups of Chinese Han people (enrolled from Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital) and American Caucasians (enrolled from Department of Ophthalmology, University of California, San Francisco) from May 2008 to December 2010, each with approximately 120 participants, including 15 persons of each gender in each decade between 40 and 80 years of age. The parameters of the anterior segment were measured by the automatic refractive test, A-ultrasound and ultrasound biomicroscopy. Differences between the two groups were compared with the independent-sample t test or Wilcoxon two-sample test for continuous variable data and the χ(2) test for classified variable data. Multiple linear regression models were performed to analyze the associated factors of anterior chamber angle. Results: There were 118 subjects (118 eyes) and 117 subjects (117 eyes) enrolled in the Chinese and American Caucasians groups, respectively. Compared to Caucasians, Chinese had smaller A-ultrasound measured anterior chamber depth [(3.03±0.34) mm vs. (3.38±0.36) mm, t=-5.791, P<0.001], smaller relative lens position [0.227 (0.198, 0.256) vs. 0.235 (0.191, 0.262), Z=-3.063, P=0.002], smaller axial length [23.3 (20.9,28.3) mm vs. 24.2 (20.8,28.5) mm, Z=-5.510, P<0.001], smaller iris root distance [0.111 (0.000, 0.401) mm vs. 0.142 (0.000, 0.451) mm, Z=-3.188, P=0.001], smaller ciliary body thickness at 1 mm posterior to the scleral spur [0.661 (0.424, 0.892) mm vs. 0.716 (0.467, 0.942) mm, Z=-3.456, P=0.001], smaller trabecular ciliary process distance [0.780 (0.410, 1.400) mm vs. 0.930 (0.420, 1.470) mm, Z=-3.191, P=0.001], smaller trabecular ciliary process angle [73.4° (36.3°, 115.3°) vs. 81.1° (47.9°, 147.9°), Z=-3.407, P=0.001], smaller angle opening distance at 500 μm (AOD500) [0.181 (0.000, 0.703) mm vs. 0.264 (0.000, 0.806) mm, Z=-3.444, P=0.001], smaller angle recess area (ARA) [0.118 (0.011, 0.457) mm(2) vs. 0.179 (0.000, 0.626) mm(2), Z=-3.814, P<0.001], larger spherical equivalent [0.40 (-5.80, 4.00) D vs. -0.70 (-8.00, 4.00) D, Z=-5.454, P<0.001], larger lens thickness [(4.62±0.40) mm vs. (4.52±0.40) mm, t=2.077, P=0.039] and larger iris thickness [0.430 (0.280, 0.600) mm vs. 0.410 (0.240, 0.580) mm, Z=-2.263, P=0.024]. On average, with each decade of the increased age, Chinese had a greater decrease in the AOD500 than Caucasians (0.040 mm in Chinese vs. 0.030 mm in Caucasians), while the angle recess area decreased at the same rate (0.020 mm(2) in both groups). After adjusted for age, gender, spherical equivalent, axial length and other parameters of the anterior segment, the trabecular ciliary process angle [for AOD500, standardized regression coefficient (SRC)=0.487, R(2)=0.549, P<0.001; for ARA, SRC=0.372, R(2)=0.502, P<0.001] and anterior chamber depth (for AOD500, SRC=0.413, R(2)=0.476, P<0.001; for ARA, SRC=0.331, R(2)=0.403, P<0.001) were the main factors of anterior chamber angle parameters for Chinese and Caucasians, respectively. Conclusions: Compared with age and gender matched American Caucasians, Chinese Han people have more crowded anterior chambers and narrower anterior chamber angles. The more anteriorly positioned ciliary processes and shallower anterior chambers are the main factors that contributed to more crowded anterior chambers in Chinese Han people and American Caucasians, respectively.

Abstract
Background: Liver is the most common metastatic site in advanced colorectal cancer. Most patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) could not benefit from the current treatment. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models with definite molecular signature are attractive preclinical models and essential for development of novel drugs. Aim: This study was designed to focus on the establishment, characterization of pathologic and molecular features of PDX models. Furthermore, we also validate potential therapeutic targets and explore novel drug therapies guided by genotyping or expression profiling, leading to potential implications for precision medicine. Methods: CRLM PDX models were established and elucidated their possible implications for preclinical research and personalized treatment from their fidelity of clinicopathologic characteristics, genomic landscape, and antitumor activities of novel targeted drugs. Response biomarkers were also explored. Results: A total of 56 PDX models from CRLM were successfully established (transplantation success 76.7%, 56/73). The transplantation rate was higher than that of primary specimens (61.5%, 16/26). No differences were observed between latency period and characteristics except the level of CEA. Along with the passaging, latency period became shorter and shorter. PDXs from CRLM recapitulated the pathologic, genetic, and protein properties of corresponding parental tumors. Frequent altered genes showed high consistency compared with patients' genomic alterations, and were enriched in MAPK, ErbB, cell cycle, focal adhesion, adherence junction pathways. Several potential drug targets, such as KRAS, HER2 and FGFR2, were selected and validated by corresponding inhibitors. In addition, PDX models could also used for patients with no druggable alterations identified to screen the efficient regimen. Conclusion: In this study, we have successfully established and validated a large panel of molecularly annotated CRLM platforms for preclinical evaluation of novel therapeutics and biomarker discovery.

Abstract
CONTEXT Fiji has undergone an epidemiological transition, characterised by declining infectious disease and childhood mortality, that has been offset by rising cardiovascular disease mortality. Other Pacific Island states are in a comparable situation. OBJECTIVE With a focus on Fiji, this study reviews and contextualises research performed by the authors and others that examines cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and their risk factors in Pacific Island states. METHODS This overview covers evidence for the causes and consequences of CVD risk factors and the epidemiological transition and reflects on biological and evolutionary hypotheses. It is based on studies the authors carried out that synthesised disparate population-based CVD risk factor surveys conducted in Fiji over 1980-2012. RESULTS Prevalences of obesity, T2DM and hypertension continue to increase in the Fiji population. Tobacco smoking prevalence has decreased, but remains relatively high in men compared to many developed countries. T2DM and hypertension trends, and CVD consequences related to diet, exercise and tobacco smoking, have placed the Fiji population in a variant of the epidemiological transition manifesting as a plateau in life expectancy similar to that of numerous developed countries during the mid-20th century. CONCLUSION There is evidence that risk factors and consequent CVD mortality can be reduced in populations. Obesity and T2DM reductions have been observed only in populations surviving in dire circumstances. Interventions to lower the prevalence of CVD and T2DM risk factors in the Fiji population require multi-faceted approaches, with continual monitoring and evaluation for their impact on these risk factors and morbidity and mortality outcomes.
