Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of air quality index (AQI) on the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in Beijing, and to provide evidence for setting up a better program regarding prevention and control of tuberculosis. Methods: Generalized additive model (GAM) was used to analyze the association between AQI and the incidence of tuberculosis in Beijing, from January 1, 2014 to November 9, 2016. Confounding factors as meteorological conditions and time trends were under control. Results: In Beijing, a total of 14 533 TB cases with definite dates of onset were collected during the study period, with 36 children excluded from the study. Finally, 14 497 cases were included in the study, including 9 513 men and 4 984 women, with 11 290 adults (15-59 years old) and 3 207 elderly (≥60 years old). Data from the optimal single-day lag effect of GAM showed that,with every 10 increase of AQI, the percent of increase on the onsets of overall, male, female and adult; tuberculosis cases were 0.85% (95%CI: 0.26%-1.44%), 0.83% (95%CI: 0.24%-1.42%), 0.93% (95%CI: 0.24%-1.62%) and 0.88% (95%CI: 0.29%-1.46%), respectively. The optimal lag time of the single-day effects were 15 days (lag15), but 16 days (lag16) for male. The optimal cumulative lag effect showed that with every 10 AQI increase, the percent of increase on the onsets of overall, male, female and adult tuberculosis cases were 1.92% (95%CI: 0.23%-3.16%), 1.94% (95%CI:0.15%-3.72%), 2.04% (95%CI: 0.10%-3.97%) and 2.00% (95%CI: 0.30%-3.69%), respectively, with the optimal lag time of cumulative delayed effects as 17 days (lag0_17), 18 days (lag0_18), 16 days (lag0_16) and 17 days (lag0_17), respectively. However, there were no statistical significances noticed in the elderly cases. Conclusion: There was a positive correlation between AQI and the number of TB cases in Beijing, and the effects of AQI on the number of TB cases in different genders and age groups were different.

Abstract
In order to achieve long-pulse H-mode plasma scenario over 400 s with high heating power in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) device, the lower graphite divertor will be upgraded into a tungsten (W) divertor with active water cooling, which consists of the W/Cu monoblock units and the W flat-tile units as the divertor plasma facing components. As a fundamental diagnostic tool, the divertor Langmuir probe (Div-LP) diagnostic system will be upgraded accordingly. This paper presents the design of two kinds of new Div-LP systems, which are planned to be utilized on the W/Cu monoblock units and the W flat-tile units for the upgraded lower tungsten divertor, respectively, including their structures and preliminary poloidal and toroidal layouts. The Div-LP diagnostic system can measure the plasma parameters with the schemes of triple-probe, double-probe, and single-probe, to obtain the spatial and temporal distribution of plasma behavior on the divertor targets, which is useful for the discharge control and operation in EAST. In addition, the thermal analysis of the two kinds of probe assemblies is also carried out by using the three-dimensional finite element code ANSYS, which is aimed to get the optimal designs to withstand the long-pulse and high-power operation in EAST future experiments.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) play a critical role in mammary development and breast cancer biology. Despite their important role in the mammary gland, little is known of the roles of lncRNA in bovine lactation, particularly regarding the molecular processes underlying it. To characterize the role of lncRNA in bovine lactation, 4 samples of Holstein cow mammary gland tissue at peak and late lactation stages were examined after biopsy. We then profiled the transcriptome of the mammary gland using RNA sequencing technology. Further, functional lncRNA-mRNA coexpression pairs were constructed to infer the function of lncRNA using a generalized linear model, followed by gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. More than 1,000 putative lncRNA were identified, 117 of which were differentially expressed between peak and late lactation stages. Bovine lncRNA were shorter, with fewer exon numbers, and expressed at significantly lower levels than protein-coding genes. Seventy-two differentially expressed (DE) lncRNA were coexpressed with 340 different protein-coding genes. The KEGG pathway analysis showed that target mRNA for DE lncRNA were mainly related to lipid and glucose metabolism, including the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Further bioinformatics and integrative analyses revealed that 12 DE lncRNA potentially played important roles in bovine lactation. Our findings provide a valuable resource for future bovine transcriptome studies, facilitate the understanding of bovine lactation biology, and offer functional information for cattle lactation.

Abstract
AIM Type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) play a major role in regulating systemic inflammatory diseases. However, the relationship between ILC1s and type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear. Thus, the present study investigated the relationship between ILC1s and glucose homoeostasis in humans. METHODS A total of 37 newly diagnosed T2D patients and 32 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), matched for age and body mass index (BMI), were enrolled in the study. Flow cytometric analysis of ILC1s derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and omental adipose tissue was performed. RESULTS T2D patients displayed greater numbers and frequencies of circulating and adipose tissue ILC1s (P < 0.05) compared with NGT subjects, and the two types of ILC1s correlated positively with each other. Circulating ILC1s were positively associated with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), homoeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), adipose tissue insulin resistance index (Adipo-IR) and serum free fatty acids (FFAs). A logistic regression model revealed that patients with higher ILC1 levels exhibited a 13.481-fold greater risk of developing T2D. CONCLUSION This study is the first to provide evidence that ILC1 abnormalities are involved in the development of diabetes. The data also suggest a potential role of ILC1s as therapeutic indicators in the treatment of T2D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influencing factors of elderly outpatient visits and to provide evidence for poverty reduction in health in the poor rural areas. METHODS Through stratified sampling, a total of 1 271 aged people in four poverty Qi/County of Ulanqabcity were surveyed, including Qahar Right Wing Front Banner, Qahar Right Wing Middle Banner, Qahar Right Wing Rear Banner and Liangcheng County. Their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, daily consumption, EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire(EQ-5D) and visual analogue scale (VAS),social support, health service needs and utilization were collected through cross-sectional household questionnaires. 1 039 aged people who had experienced physical discomfort in the past 30 days were selected as subjects for the study. The differences between the groups were analyzed by chi-square test. A Logistic regression equation and a decision tree of elderly visits were built to find factors influencing decisionmaking of the aged. RESULTS The average age of the research subjects was 71.8 years, with 52.2% being illiterate and 85.8% with middle social support. 58.5% of the subjects living with their spouses, mostly living in 15 min medical circle and without any financial support from their children. The 30-day visiting rate when having physical discomfort was 31.0%. The chi-square test showed that the differences in visit rates among age, ethnic, residence patterns, daily consumption index, housing types, social support scores, grown children's economic assistance, travel time to medical institutions, and health self-assessment scores were statistically significant. Compared with Logistic analysis, the decision tree showed lower error rate of classification. Logistic regression model's error rate of classification was 31.4%, showing that the differences in visit rates among age, ethnic, residence patterns, daily consumption index, social support scores, travel time to medical institutions, and health self-assessment scores were statistically significant. The decision tree model's error rate of classification was 28.6%, showing six main influencing factors, including the travel time to medical institutions, cohabitants, education level, age, whether adult children provide economic support and social support score. The importance of these predictors were 0.42, 0.21, 0.13, 0.11, 0.07 and 0.06, respectively. CONCLUSION In poor rural areas, medical resources, economic affordability, family and individual socio-demographic characteristics are the key factors affecting decision-making for the aged. It is necessary to integrate the improvement of the health care of the aged into the overall development of the society. And comprehensive interventions should be adopted to improve the outpatient utilization for aged in poor rural areas.

Abstract
AIMS This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the associations between shift work patterns and risks of specific types of obesity. METHODS PubMed was searched until March 2017 for observational studies that examined the relationships between shift work patterns and obesity. Odds ratio for obesity was extracted using a fixed-effects or random-effects model. Subgroup meta-analyses were carried out for study design, specific obesity types and characteristics of shift work pattern. RESULTS A total of 28 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The overall odds ratio of night shift work was 1.23 (95% confidence interval = 1.17-1.29) for risk of obesity/overweight. Cross-sectional studies showed a higher risk of 1.26 than those with the cohort design (risk ratio = 1.10). Shift workers had a higher frequency of developing abdominal obesity (odds ratio = 1.35) than other obesity types. Permanent night workers demonstrated a 29% higher risk than rotating shift workers (odds ratio 1.43 vs. 1.14). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirmed the risks of night shift work for the development of overweight and obesity with a potential gradient association suggested, especially for abdominal obesity. Modification of working schedules is recommended, particularly for prolonged permanent night work. More accurate and detailed measurements on shift work patterns should be conducted in future research.

Abstract
Blue phosphorene (BP) and gray arsenene (GA), consisting of phosphorus and arsenic atoms in two-dimensional (2D) low-buckled honeycomb lattices, respectively, have received great interest because of their excellent electronic and optoelectronic performances. Here, using first-principles density functional theory, we investigate magneto-optical (MO) Kerr and Faraday effects in BP and GA under hole doping. Ferromagnetic ground states are found in hole-doped monolayer and bilayer BP and GA due to the Stoner electronic instability, which originates from the van Hove singularity of the density of states at the valence band edge. The Kerr and Faraday effects strongly depend on the doping concentration and therefore are electrically controllable by adjusting the number of holes via the gate voltage. The influences of the thin film thickness, spin-polarized direction, and the substrate on the MO effects are further studied. We find that the MO effects are weakened remarkably as the thin film thickness increases and can be negligible more than three single-layers; the MO effects are much more prominent when spin polarization is along the out-of-plane direction and will decrease more than one order of magnitude on turning the spin in the crystal plane; the insulating substrates with small refractive indices are favorable to generate large MO effects and appropriate compressive strains applied on BP and GA due to lattice mismatch with substrates are further beneficial. The MO effects in GA are generally larger than those in BP because the strength of spin-orbit coupling in the arsenic atom is larger than that in the phosphorus atom. Monolayer GA possesses the largest Kerr and Faraday rotation angles, which are comparable to or even larger than those of well-known MO materials such as 3d-transition-metal multilayers and compounds. Our results indicate that BP and GA are a promising material platform for MO device applications.

Abstract
Introduction: Chinese HP-PRRSV characterized by high morbidity and mortality of all ages of pigs emerged since 2006 in China. The immune response of HP-PRRSV was never compared with conventional low pathogenic PRRSV strain. Objective: In this study, we compared the immune responses elicited by a Chinese HP-PRRSV strain HV and a North American RRSV strain NADC20 infections. Result: Pigs infected with NADC-20 showed significantly higher Ab titers than HV-PRRSV infected pigs at 9 DPI. Infection with HV-PRRSV induced a significantly higher levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in both sera and lung tissues and higher IFN-α and IFN-γ in the serum. Flow cytometry analysis showed that HV-PRRSV infected pigs generated significantly higher frequencies of NK cells in the peripheral blood and Th/memory, CTLs, and T-reg cells in the lung as compared with NADC-20 infected pigs. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that different immunity profiles were elicited by HV-PRRSV and NADC-20, and these differences may contribute to the distinct pathogenesis of HV-PRRSV and NADC-20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Motor impairment is the most common deficit after stroke. Our aim was to evaluate whether diffusional kurtosis imaging can detect corticospinal tract microstructural changes in the acute phase for patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and motor impairment and to assess the correlations between diffusional kurtosis imaging-derived diffusion metrics for the corticospinal tract and motor impairment 3 months poststroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 17 patients with stroke who underwent brain MR imaging including diffusional kurtosis imaging within 4 days after the onset of symptoms. Neurologic evaluation included the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor scale in the acute phase and 3 months poststroke. For the corticospinal tract in the lesioned and contralateral hemispheres, we estimated with diffusional kurtosis imaging both pure diffusion metrics, such as the mean diffusivity and mean kurtosis, and model-dependent quantities, such as the axonal water fraction. We evaluated the correlations between corticospinal tract diffusion metrics and the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor scale at 3 months. RESULTS Among all the diffusion metrics, the largest percentage signal changes of the lesioned hemisphere corticospinal tract were observed with axial kurtosis, with an average 12% increase compared with the contralateral corticospinal tract. The strongest associations between the 3-month Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor scale score and diffusion metrics were found for the lesioned/contralateral hemisphere corticospinal tract mean kurtosis (ρ = -0.85) and axial kurtosis (ρ = -0.78) ratios. CONCLUSIONS This study was designed to be one of hypothesis generation. Diffusion metrics related to kurtosis were found to be more sensitive than conventional diffusivity metrics to early poststroke corticospinal tract microstructural changes and may have potential value in the prediction of motor impairment at 3 months.

Patientswere divided into two groupsrandomly.Lymph node sorting methods of control group andobservation group were the traditional method and the artery approach method respectively. The total number of lymph nodes, the average inspection number, the patients number of lymph nodes less than 12, the number of positive lymph nodes, the metastasis rate of the patients, the number of average diameter less than 5 mm, the number of the positive lymph nodes which average diameter less than 5 mm, the sorting time of lymph nodes, the total number of every stationand other indicators were collected and compared. Results: There wasa significant difference between the observation group and the control groupin the total number(553 vs 395, P<0.05), the number of positive ones(96 vs 54, P<0.05), average inspection number(18.43±5.93 vs 13.27±1.96, P=0.000), the sorting time (min) (14.1±2.5 vs 17.4±3.2, P=0.000), the average diameter less than 5 mm number(4.73±1.31 vs 1.23±1.14, P=0.000), the number of positive ones average diameter less than 5 mm(0.97±1.03 vs 0.20±0.55, P=0.010), the first(8.17±4.58 vs 5.07±1.96, P=0.000) and second station(6.57±1.87 vs 4.90±1.69, P=0.001)inspection number.The inspection number less than 12, the positive rate of lymph node, the metastatic rate of the patient and the inspection number of third station have no significant differences (all P≥0.05). Conclusion: Theartery approach method inrectal cancer lymph node inspectionhas many advantages such as simple operation, obtaining more lymph nodes and more accurate pathological staging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to describe the first US-based study to use the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis (EPOS) criteria to study the prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in a general-population sample. METHODS A CRS symptom questionnaire was mailed to 23 700 primary care patients from Geisinger Clinic, a health system serving 45 counties in Pennsylvania. CRS cases were categorized into four unique subgroups based on EPOS symptoms: obstruction and discharge with no smell loss or pain/pressure; smell loss without pain/pressure; facial pain and/or pressure without smell loss; and both smell loss and pain/pressure. All cases were required to have nasal obstruction or discharge. Logistic regression was used to evaluate potential factors associated with CRS subgroups. RESULTS We found that 11.9% of patients met criteria for CRS. Prevalence peaked at 15.9% between ages 50 and 59 years and then dropped to 6.8% after age 69. The odds of CRS was higher among patients who were white, younger, smokers, had a history of Medical Assistance, and had other diseases. When CRS subgroups were modeled separately, these associations were no longer significant for some CRS subgroups. Comorbid diseases were most strongly associated with CRS cases who reported smell loss and facial pain and/or pressure and had the weakest associations with CRS cases who did not report these symptoms. CONCLUSIONS CRS is a highly prevalent and heterogeneous condition. Differences in risk factors and health outcomes across symptom subgroups may be indicative of differences in etiology that have implications for disease management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the structural changes of gray matter in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) and discuss the potential relationships between the changes and etiology of the disease. METHODS We used an optimized voxel-based morphometry (VBM) approach to compare total and regional volumetric changes of gray matter in 20 primary dysmenorrhea patients with 20 healthy age and menstrual cycle matched controls.All subjects were patients from the outpatient department of Tongji Hospital in 2015. RESULTS Abnormal volumetric decreases of gray matter were found in the left and right parahippocampus, the left and right middle temporal gyrus, the left and right superior parietal lobule, the left postcentral cortex, the left and right inferior parietal lobule, which involved in pain transmission, pain modulation and somatic sensation. CONCLUSION Abnormal gray matter volume changes are present in some encephalic regions of PDM patients.The functions of these regions are associated with pain modulation and somatic sensation, which suggests the changes are related with PDM.
