Abstract
Filled and unfilled Sr2NaNb5O15-based tungsten bronze ceramics based on Gd doping were prepared using a traditional solid-state reaction method. Relaxor behaviors of the two different systems were analyzed, and the corresponding energy storage performance was also characterized. With the support of weakly coupled polar nanoregions and a non-polar matrix, an energy storage density of 2.37 J/cm3 and an efficiency of 94.4% were obtained in the Sr1.82Gd0.12NaNb5O15 ceramic. A discharge energy density of 2.51 J/cm3 and a power density of 59.1 MW/cm3 further proved its prospect for practical applications. In addition, the thermal stability and fatigue resistance of the ceramic were also evaluated. At the same time, under the theoretical framework of a perovskite and tungsten bronze, the contribution of vacancies to the local structure and relaxor behavior was briefly discussed. Because the currently used ceramics do not contain easily reducible metal oxides, this work lays the foundation for the development of multilayer ceramic capacitors that use base metals as internal electrodes.

Abstract
In recent years, the scale of population exposure and food poisoning caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) has shown a significant upward trend, becoming one of the primary food-borne pathogens. Herein, we developed a rapid and sensitive detection of V. parahaemolyticus by integrating the technology of magnetic nanobeads (MBs) based immunoseparation (IMS) with quantum dots (QDs) based immunofluorescence. Firstly, specific rabbit polyclone IgG antibodies (IgG) and chicken egg yolk antibodies (IgY) of V. parahaemolyticus were prepared. Then two sizes of MBs (1 μm; 180 nm) were coupled with IgG to form immuno-MB (IMB) capture probes for evaluating the effect of different sizes on the detection efficiency. For QDs, they were conjugated with IgY to form fluorescent reporting probes. In the process of detection, IMB probes were used to separate V. parahaemolyticus and then these complexes were labeled by QD probes on the principle of double antibody sandwich. The fluorescence intensity of the IMB-V. parahaemolyticus-QD complexes was measured by a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The detection method takes 150 min with a detection limit of 102 cfu mL-1 ranging from 102 to 106 cfu mL-1 and it has been shown to work satisfactorily in real food samples.

Abstract
Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, a sensitive and high-throughput quantitative method based on the direct analysis in real time tandem mass spectrometry has been developed and validated for the bioanalysis of sitagliptin in rat plasma without chromatographic separation. Sitagliptin and its internal standard retagliptin were detected in positive ion mode by multiple reaction monitoring transitions at m/z 408.2→235.0 and 465.2→260.1, respectively. The method includes a simple solid-phase extraction sample preparation procedure, through which appropriate and reproducible analytical results within the linear concentration range of 20-2000 ng/mL have been achieved. The intra- and interday precisions were <10.6% and the accuracies were ranging from -8.17 to 2.60%. This method has been successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of sitagliptin after single intravenous administration in rats. This approach shows considerable promise of direct analysis in real time tandem mass spectrometry method in the high-throughput bioanalysis.

Abstract
New-onset diabetes mellitus has a rough correlation with pancreatic cancer (PaC), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the exosomal microRNAs and their potential role in PaC-induced β-cell dysfunction. The pancreatic β cells were treated with isolated exosomes from PaC cell lines, SW1990 and BxPC-3, before measuring the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), validating that SW1990 and BxPC-3 might disrupt GSIS of both β cell line MIN6 and primary mouse pancreatic islets. The difference in expression profiles between exosomes and exosome-free medium of PaC cell lines was further defined, revealing that miR-19a secreted by PaC cells might be an important signaling molecule in this process. Furthermore, adenylyl cyclase 1 (Adcy1) and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 2 (Epac2) were verified as the direct targets of exogenous miR-19a, which was involved in insulin secretion. These results indicated that exosomes might be an important mediator in the pathogenesis of PaC-DM, and miR-19a might be the effector molecule. The findings shed light on the pathogenesis of PaC-DM.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the persistence of HBsAg-specific antibodies eight years after revaccination with hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) among adults who were non-responsive to primary immunization. Methods: From August to September 2009, rural communities in Zhangqiu district of Ji'nan city were selected as the study site. The subject's inclusion criteria were 18 to 49 years old, local resident population, without HBV infection history and HepB vaccination history, and good health status. Antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) were detected in adults following the standard primary vaccination. Those who were non-responders (anti-HBs titer <10 mIU/ml) were revaccinated with three doses of HepB and included in the study. Blood samples were collected from all of them at one month (T1), two years, four years, and eight years after revaccination. The three indexes of anti-HBs, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), together with antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc), were measured by chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA). Results: The proportion of subjects with anti-HBs titers ≥10 mIU/ml was 85.12% (549/645) at T1, 60.60% (283/467) at two years, 55.90% (199/356) at four years and 55.09% (222/403) at eight years after revaccination. The first two years' annual decline rates, three to four years and five to eight years, were 15.62%, 3.96%, and 0.36%. The GMC of anti-HBs was 153.92 mIU/ml at T1, 21.43 mIU/ml at two years, 15.02 mIU/ml at four years, and 13.68 mIU/ml at eight years. In the first two years, three to four years and five to eight years, the annual decline rate of GMC was 62.69%,16.28%, and 2.31%, respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that the titer of anti-HBs at T1 was independently associated with the persistence of anti-HBs at eight years after revaccination. Compared with anti-HBs titer <100 mIU/ml , those whose anti-HBs titers were 100-mIU/ml and ≥1 000 mIU/ml at T1 had a higher positive rate of anti-HBs (OR=14.13, P<0.001; OR= 62.91, P<0.001) and a higher probability of anti-HBs titer (β=1.88, P<0.001; β=3.24, P<0.001) at 8 years after revaccination. Nobody was found seroconversion of HBsAg, and the anti-HBc positive rate was 14.14% (57/403). Conclusions: Following revaccination with three doses of HepB in adults who were non-responsive to primary immunization, anti-HBs titers declined rapidly within the first four years. They then maintained a stable level after the fifth year. More than half still kept anti-HBs protective titer at eight years after revaccination. The immunity persistence was associated with anti-HBs titer at one month after revaccination.

Abstract
Metal complexes have been used to treat cancer since the discovery of cisplatin and its interaction with DNA in the 1960’s. Facing the resistance mechanisms against platinum salts and their side effects, safer therapeutic approaches have been sought through other metals, including ruthenium. In the early 2000s, Michel Pfeffer and his collaborators started to investigate the biological activity of organo-ruthenium/osmium complexes, demonstrating their ability to interfere with the activity of purified redox enzymes. Then, they discovered that these organo-ruthenium/osmium complexes could act independently of DNA damage and bypass the requirement for the tumor suppressor gene TP53 to induce the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway, which is an original cell death pathway. They showed that other types of ruthenium complexes—as well complexes with other metals (osmium, iron, platinum)—can induce this pathway as well. They also demonstrated that ruthenium complexes accumulate in the ER after entering the cell using passive and active mechanisms. These particular physico-chemical properties of the organometallic complexes designed by Dr. Pfeffer contribute to their ability to reduce tumor growth and angiogenesis. Taken together, the pioneering work of Dr. Michel Pfeffer over his career provides us with a legacy that we have yet to fully embrace.

Abstract
Ag/TiO2 composite fabric was prepared by coprecipitation with TiCl4 as a titanium source and AgNO3 as a silver source. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analyzer (TG) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The photocatalytic activity of synthetic fabrics was measured by the degradation of anion dyes under ultraviolet light. The effects of silver loading concentration, fabric area, initial concentration, and photocatalytic time on photocatalytic activity were investigated. The experimental results showed that the degradation rate of Ag/TiO2 composite fabric on anion dyes could reach 70.76% in 50 minutes, indicating that the prepared Ag/TiO2 composite fabrics had high photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of different calcium intakes on metabolism in healthy adults with traditional Chinese dietary pattern. Methods: A total of 64 college students (32 males and 32 females) were recruited from the School of Public Health, Harbin Medical University from September to October 2015. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial design (RCT trial) was used to strictly control the diet of the volunteers through meal preparation, so that the background of the experimental and the control group was exactly the same. In our study, 64 healthy adults were randomly divided into two groups (calcium supplementation and control). The two groups were given the same diet every day. One group was given 400 mg/d of calcium supplementation, which was close to the recommended intake in China (800 mg/d); the other group was given pacebo, the average calcium intake was close to the average intake of Chinese (400 mg/d), calcium intervention lasted for 35 days. Serum and urine samples from pre-intervention, mid-intervention, and post-intervention were collected for metabolomics studies and detection of serum hormone levels and biochemical indicators. PCA and PLS-DA were used to compare the differences in serum and urine metabolites. After adjusting for age and BMI, the differences of hormones [parathyroid hormone, 1, 25(OH)2D3] and biochemical indicators were compared by repeated measurement variance analysis. Results: The 64 subjects were aged 23-28 years, including 32 males and 32 females. The baseline characteristics of the calcium supplementation group and the control group were balanced. The results showed that there were no significant differences in blood and urine metabolites, metabolic hormone [parathyroid hormone, 1, 25(OH)2D3] levels and biochemical indicators(serum Ca, serum P, glycolipid metabolism and hepatorenal function indicators)between the calcium supplementation group and control group at each time point throughout the trail (P>0.05). Conclusion: No health hazards associated with calcium deficiency was observed in healthy adults in the short term at current calcium intake level (300-400 mg/d).

Abstract
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a widespread post-transcriptional regulation mechanism that increases the biological complexity of transcriptome and proteome. However, it is unclear whether APA regulation plays a role in genetic resistance to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Here, we reported genome-wide APA regulation of porcine alveolar macrophages in PRRSV-resistant Tongcheng (TC) pigs and PRRSV-susceptible Large White (LW) pigs upon PRRSV infection. Using 3' mRNA sequencing strategy, we detected 75 981 high-quality APA sites in porcine alveolar macrophages of TC and LW pigs. Furthermore, 1202 and 1089 differentially expressed APA sites, as well as 79 and 117 untranslated region-APA switching genes were identified in TC pigs and LW pigs upon PRRSV infection respectively. The APA events in TC pigs and LW pigs were involved in different biological pathways, while APA events in TC pigs are directly associated with the immune response to PRRSV infection. In addition, we identified genetic variations affecting polyadenylation signal between TC pigs and LW pigs. These findings would provide helpful information on APA regulation for further understanding of genetic resistance to PRRSV.

Abstract
Metabolomics is a powerful and essential technology for profiling metabolic phenotypes and exploring metabolic reprogramming, which enables the identification of biomarkers and provides mechanistic insights into physiology and disease. However, its applications are still limited by the technical challenges particularly in its detection sensitivity for the analysis of biological samples with limited amount, necessitating the development of highly sensitive approaches. Here, we developed a highly sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method based on a 3-nitrophenylhydrazine (3-NPH) derivatization strategy that simultaneously targets carbonyl, carboxyl, and phosphoryl groups for targeted metabolomic analysis (HSDccp-TM) in biological samples. By testing 130 endogenous metabolites including organic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleotides, carnitines, and vitamins, we showed that the derivatization strategy resulted in significantly improved detection sensitivity and chromatographic separation capability. Metabolic profiling of merely 60 oocytes and 5000 hematopoietic stem cells primarily isolated from mice demonstrated that this method enabled routine metabolomic analysis in trace amounts of biospecimens. Moreover, the derivatization strategy bypassed the tediousness of inferring the MS fragmentation patterns and simplified the complexity of monitoring ion pairs of metabolites, which greatly facilitated the metabolic flux analysis (MFA) for glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in cell cultures. In summary, the novel 3-NPH derivatization-based method with high sensitivity, good chromatographic separation, and broad coverage showed great potential in promoting metabolomics and MFA, especially in trace amounts of biospecimens.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the clinical significance of preventing incision skin necrosis and the improved function offered in patients with a chronic Achilles tendon rupture treated surgically with a modified spoon-shaped medial incision. From January 2013 to January 2017, 50 patients (N = 50) who were admitted to our department with a clinically and radiologically confirmed chronic Achilles tendon rupture met inclusion criteria and were divided retrospectively into two groups. In group A (n = 26), a modified spoon-shaped medial incision in the surgical repair of Achilles tendon rupture was performed. In group B (n = 24), a traditional posterior medial incision was used. All skin healing was observed. Functional evaluation was performed using American Orthopedic Ankle & Foot Society scale(AOFAS) hindfoot score and Achilles tendon total rupture score(ATRS). Return-to-work time and major complications were also measured. The patients were followed for 12 to 48 months. All incisions exhibited primary healing in group A, while four incisions healed delay for skin necrosis which includes superficial, deeper necrosis, and skin defection caused by the necrosis in group B. Both groups had similar results regarding return-to-work time. There were no infections in either group. There was no rerupture of the Achilles tendon in either group. Patients in group A had better AOFAS hindfoot score (p = .020) and ATRS (p = .010), and the difference was significant (p ≤ .05).Using the modified spoon-shaped medial incision in the surgical repair of a chronic Achilles tendon rupture seems to be a safe and effective method that may reduce risk of incision skin necrosis and offers better function in patients with a chronic Achilles tendon rupture.

Abstract
Background:The goal of treating psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is to achieve very low disease activity or remission across disease manifestations. In the phase 3 FUTURE 5 study (NCT02404350), patients receiving secukinumab (SEC) demonstrated sustained clinical improvements across PsA manifestations through Week 104.1 However, the effect of previous tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) exposure on achievement of remission across PsA manifestations was not explored.Objectives:To report exploratory efficacy analyses of SEC at Week 104 on stringent endpoints across PsA manifestations in patients who were TNFi naive or inadequate responders (TNF-IR).Methods:Patient data from FUTURE 5 were stratified by previous TNFi exposure and analyzed by treatment arm. At Week 104, patients received SEC 300 or 150 mg with subcutaneous loading dose (LD), SEC 150 mg without LD, or had received placebo up to Week 16 and were switched to SEC 300 or 150 mg between Weeks 16 or 24 based on tender and swollen joint count response. Patients with suboptimal clinical response to SEC 150 mg could escalate to SEC 300 mg after Week 52 per investigator judgment.2 Exploratory efficacy analyses at Week 104 included resolution of TJC/SJC (0 tender/swollen joints), resolution of enthesitis and dactylitis, 75% improvement in the modified Nail Psoriasis Severity index (mNAPSI75), 100% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI100), very low disease activity (VLDA), and Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) remission. Descriptive statistics are provided for each endpoint using an observed-case approach.Results:Regardless of previous TNFi exposure, SEC-treated patients achieved several stringent endpoints across PsA domains, including TJC/SJC resolution, resolution of dactylitis/enthesitis, mNAPSI75, and PASI100 at Week 104 (Table 1). TNFi-naive patients generally experienced greater improvements than TNF-IR patients (Table 1 above). Similar trends were observed for achievement of VLDA and DAPSA remission at Week 104 (Figure 1).Conclusion:SEC treatment resulted in sustained achievement of stringent endpoints across key PsA manifestations through Week 104 in both TNFi-naive and TNF-IR patients, with generally greater clinical responses among TNFi-naive patients.References:[1]Mease P, et al.

Abstract
Background:Enthesitis is a key musculoskeletal manifestation of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). EULAR guidelines recommend biologics for patients with enthesitis and an inadequate response to or intolerance of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, although no guidance on specific biologics is offered. In the EXCEED head-to-head, double-blind study (NCT02745080), secukinumab (SEC) and adalimumab (ADA) showed a similar efficacy in joints and in resolution of enthesitis at Week 52 for patients with PsA,1 although a detailed analysis of enthesitis was not conducted.Objectives:To explore detailed enthesitis treatment response, including temporal and additional enthesitis assessment data, in patients with PsA treated with SEC or ADA over 52 weeks.Methods:In this post hoc analysis, patient data from EXCEED were grouped by presence or absence of baseline enthesitis based on the Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI) and the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada Enthesitis Index (SPARCC). Baseline characteristics of these groups were summarized. Median time to resolution of LEI/SPARCC enthesitis score in patients receiving SEC or ADA was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Efficacy was further assessed among the enthesitis subset by LEI and SPARCC change from baseline, resolution of enthesitis (LEI/SPARCC) at Weeks 24 and 52, and resolution of enthesitis at Week 52 by baseline enthesitis severity. Relapse of enthesitis after a first resolution was evaluated at Weeks 24 and 52. Missing data were imputed by nonresponder imputation.Results:Baseline demographics were well balanced in the LEI/SPARCC enthesitis subsets, although a higher proportion of all patients with enthesitis were women vs those with no enthesitis (LEI: 54.6% vs 40.5%; SPARCC: 53.2% vs 36.2%). Patients with baseline enthesitis had higher disease activity vs patients without enthesitis (LEI/SPARCC enthesitis vs no LEI/SPARCC enthesitis: tender joint count of 78 joints [22.8/22.1 vs 15.8/13.8], Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index [1.3/1.3 vs 1.1/1.1], and mean Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [6.4/6.1 vs 5.1/5.3]). Median time to resolution of LEI and SPARCC enthesitis was similar between patients receiving either SEC or ADA (Table 1). Both treatment groups experienced a similar mean change from baseline in LEI and SPARCC enthesitis counts and a similar resolution of LEI and SPARCC at Weeks 24 and 52 (Table 1). Achievement of enthesitis resolution was similar between treatment groups irrespective of disease severity (Figure 1). The proportion of patients who experienced relapse after achieving resolution was low across both treatments (Table 1).Conclusion:In EXCEED, patients with baseline enthesitis presented with higher disease burden, consistent with the FUTURE trials.2 SEC and ADA showed similar kinetics of response and efficacy on enthesitis, irrespective of baseline enthesitis severity.References:[1]McInnes IB, et al.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising noninvasive treatment option for patients suffering from superficial tumors, such as oral cancer. However, for photosensitizers (PSs), it remains a grand challenge to simultaneously excel in all the key performance indicators including effective singlet oxygen (1O2) generation under clinical laser, specific targeting function and stable far-red (FR)/near-infrared (NIR) emission with low dark toxicity. In addition, traditional PS nanoparticles (NPs) for clinical use suffer from quenched fluorescence and reduced 1O2 production caused by molecular aggregation. To address these issues, AIEPS5 with aggregation-induced FR/NIR emission and effective 1O2 generation under 532 nm laser irradiation is designed by precise optimization of the chemical structure. By attaching a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain onto AIEPS5, the yielded amphiphilic AIEPS5-PEG2000 can spontaneously self-assemble into water dispersible NPs, which are further endowed with targeted delivery function via the decoration of anti-Her-2 nanobody (NB). The bespoke AIEPS5-NPs-NB exhibit effective 1O2 generation capability, bright FR/NIR emission centered at 680 nm, and negligible dark toxicity, which outperform Heimbofen, a clinically approved PS in PDT using a patient-derived tumor xenograft model.
