Abstract
Powdery mildew (PM), caused by Erysiphe cruciferarum, is an epidemic of oil rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) growing worldwide, but PM resistant germplasm is rare in this species. We screened 102 accessions of B. napus and other cruciferous species and found an Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) cultivar 'White flower' immune to PM in both the field and greenhouse. Outcrossing in the female parent 'White flower' was promoted by using a chemical gametocide tribenuron-methyl, to obtain hybrid seeds of distant hybridization with an elite B. napus cultivar 'Zhongshuang11'. Three true F1 hybrids with B. carinata cytoplasm were obtained without using embryo rescue, which showed complete male sterility and light yellow petals. The hybrid plants and the progenies derived from backcrossing were validated using morphological traits, seed quality, and molecular markers. Five lines in the BC1F3 generation, named 'W7-1', 'W7-4', 'W7-6', 'W8-1', and 'W8-3', and one BC2F2 line 'W3PS-1', whose young leaf was yellow green, were identified to be resistant or moderately resistant to PM. The seed quality and some morphological traits of these lines resembled the parent 'Zhongshuang11', indicating that the resistance gene(s) has been preliminarily introduced into B. napus.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the accuracy of photoscreening for detecting refractive amblyopia risk factors (ARFs) in Chinese preschool children aged 4 to 5 years. Methods: A cross-sectional study. Comprehensive ocular examinations were conducted for preschool children in Nanjing, China from September to December, 2016. Photoscreening (Plusoptix A12C) was applied for refractive screening without cycloplegia. Voluntary children and children suspected of eyes abnormalities received cycloplegic retinoscopy (CR). Results of photoscreening and CR were compared using Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Bland-Altman plot were used to assess the agreement between the photoscreener and CR. According to the updated preschool vision screening guidelines from American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) in 2013, CR was adopted for identifying children with ARFs, which was considered as a golden standard. Based on the golden standard, the accuracy of 5 sets of referral criteria (including sensitivity standard, Matta/Silbert standard, AAPOS2013 standard, Alaska Blind Child Discovery standard, specificity standard) for photoscreener were tested. Receiver operating characteristics curves were constructed applied to evaluate the quality of the photoscreener in refractive ARFs detection and to find probably the best cut-off points. Results: In total, 1 986 children [mean age, (4.57±0.29) years] received comprehensive examinations, including 1 084 boys and 902 girls. The test ability of photoscreening was 99.04% (1 967/1 986) in the preschool children, and 96.56%(1 827/1 892) of the children got a reliable result within three screening attempts. In 538 children who had data of CR, refractive error of one child exceeded the upper limit of the photoscreener value setting, which was directly categorized as hyperopia, so in the end, 537 children were included to analyze the comparison between the two tests. The measurement values of photoscreening were lower than those of CR in sphere, cylinder and spherical equivalent [(0.75 (0.50, 1.25) D vs. 1.25 (1.00, 1.75) D, Z=-10.36, P<0.01; -0.50 (-0.75, -0.25) D vs. -0.25 (-0.75, 0.00) D, Z=-11.10, P<0.01; 0.63 (0.38, 0.88) D vs. 1.00 (0.75, 1.50) D, Z=-13.33, P<0.01]. The 95% limit of agreement cover rates between the photoscreening and CR in sphere, cylinder and spherical equivalent was 96.28% (517/537), 95.34% (512/537) and 96.65% (519/537), respectively. Based on the golden standard, 47 (8.74%) children had refractive ARFs, and the range of sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, positive predictive values and negative predictive values for detecting refractive ARFs of the 5 common used referral criteria was from 63.83% to 97.87%, from 53.36% to 97.56%, from 0.51 to 0.80, from 16.73% to 74.51% and from 96.57% to 99.62%, respectively. Considering particular refractive ARFs on the basis of the receiver operating characteristic curves, the optimal cut-off point for astigmatism was set at 1.38 D. Conclusion: Photoscreening could be an applicable tool to detect refractive ARFs in preschool children. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56: 189-196).

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the application of calcium suppressed (CaSupp) spectral CT technique in evaluating disk position and measuring the thickness of the posterior band of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Methods: The twenty-three temporomandibular disorder patients [mean age 23(12~62) years, male/female=14/9] were performed with oblique sagittal and coronal proton density weighted imaging (PDWI) and spectral CT scans from February to July, 2019 in Department of Radiology, Hainan Hospital of General Hospital of Chinese PLA, and 45 TMJ joints were evaluated. The subjects were classified into two groups according to the scanning modalities: MRI measurement group and CaSupp spectral-based CT group. The CaSupp technique were applied with the spectral-based CT images and CaSupp images were generated. The oblique sagittal and coronal CaSupp imaged were reformatted by perpendicular to the long axis of the condyle. The TMJ disk positions were evaluated on oblique sagittal and coronal images, and the maximal disk thickness were measured on the oblique sagittal images. Results: The joint position was basically consistent on MRI and CaSupp images for the 45 TMJ joints. The intra-class coefficient value was 0.843 (0.712, 0.914) for the measurement of the posterior band of the TMJ disk between MRI and CaSupp images. Bland-Altman presented that the [95.6% (43/45)] points with the difference located in the 95% agreement interval. Wilcoxon paired text demonstrated that there was no significant different for the thickness of the posterior band between MRI [2.57 (1.76, 3.65) mm] and CaSupp images [2.67 (1.74, 4.56) mm] (P=0.07). Conclusions: The CaSupp spectral-based CT could be used to evaluated the TMJ disk position and the thickness of the posterior band.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reliable interfacing with peripheral nervous system is essential to extract neural signals. Current implantable peripheral nerve electrodes cannot provide long-term reliable interfaces due to their mechanical mismatch with host nerves. Carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns possess excellent mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity. It is of great necessity to investigate the selectivity of implantable CNT yarn electrodes. NEW METHOD Neural interfaces were fabricated with CNT yarn electrodes insulated with Parylene-C. Acute recordings were carried out on tibial nerves of rats, and compound nerve action potentials (CNAPs) were electrically evoked by biphasic current stimulation of four toes. Spatiotemporal characteristics of neural activity and spatial selectivity of the electrodes, denoted by selectivity index (SI), were analyzed in detail. RESULTS Conduction velocities of sensory afferent fibers recorded by CNT yarn electrodes varied between 4.25 m/s and 37.56 m/s. The SI maxima for specific toes were between 0.55 and 0.99 across seven electrodes. SIs for different CNT yarn electrodes are significantly different among varied toes. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS Most single CNT yarn electrode with a ∼ 500 μm exposed length can be sensitive to one or two specific toes in rodent animals. While, it is only possible to discriminate two non-adjacent toes by multisite TIME electrodes. CONCLUSION Single CNT yarn electrode exposed ∼ 500 μm showed SI values for different toes comparable to a multisite TIME electrode, and had high spatial selectivity for one or two specific toes. The electrodes with cross section exposed could intend to be more sensitive to one specific toe.

Abstract
Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a common and severe clinical complication. As the injury occurs, the pulmonary afferent nerves play an important role in regulating respiratory functions under pathophysiological conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine expression of proteinaseactivated receptor-2 (PAR2) and transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) in pulmonary vagal afferent nerves of LIRI and further to determine molecular mediators linking activation of PAR2 and TRPA1. A rat model of LIRI was used. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot analysis were employed to examine pro-inflammatory cytokines (PICs, i.e., IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α), and the protein levels of PIC receptors, PAR2, TRPA1, and intracellular signals. In the results, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α along with their receptors were amplified in afferent nerves of LIRI rats as compared with control rats. Sensory PAR2 and TRPA1 were also upregulated by LIRI. Blocking PAR2 by infusion of FSLLRY-NH2 attenuated upregulation of TRPA1 via intracellular signals, namely p38-MAPK and JNK. Moreover, blocking individual PIC receptor attenuated PAR2 and TRPA1 in pulmonary vagal afferent nerves. Our data showed specific signaling pathways leading LIRI to activation of PIC signal and activation of PAR2 and TRPA1 in pulmonary vagal afferent nerves via intracellular mediators. Targeting one or more of these signaling molecules may present opportunities to improve the abnormalities in vagal afferent nerve-mediated respiratory functions observed as LIRI occurs.

Abstract
An excellent second harmonic generation (SHG) material, LiMg(IO3)3 (LMIO), has been elaborately designed from Li2MIV(IO3)6 (MIV = Ti, Sn, and Ge) by aliovalent substitution of the central MIV cation followed by Wyckoff position exchange. The new structure sustains the ideal-alignment of (IO3)- groups. Importantly, LMIO exhibits an extremely strong SHG effect of roughly 24 × KH2PO4 (KDP) under 1064 nm laser radiation or 1.5 × AgGaS2 (AGS) under 2.05 μm laser radiation, which is larger than that of α-LiIO3 (18 × KDP). The replacement of MIV with Mg2+ without d-d electronic transitions induces an obviously larger band gap (4.34 eV) with a short absorption edge (285 nm). This study shows that single-site aliovalent substitution provides a new synthetic route for designing SHG materials.

Abstract
Taiwanofungus camphoratus is a rare and valuable medicinal mushroom indigenous to Taiwan. It has traditionally been used to promote good health. This study aimed to explore the immunomodulatory effects of “Leader Deluxe Taiwanofungus camphoratus capsule” (LDAC). LDAC is a healthy food product composed of fruiting body extract and solid-state-cultivated mycelia of T. camphoratus. Two complementary studies were performed. In the first, LDAC was orally administered to BABL/c female mice for 6 weeks as part of a non-specific immune study. In the second, mice were treated with LDAC for 8 weeks and immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) in a specific immune study. LDAC increased the growth of splenic immune cells and enhanced the activity of macrophages and natural killer cells. It increased the levels of interleukin (IL)-2, interferon (IFN)-γ, serum immunoglobulin (Ig)G, and OVA-IgG, and decreased the levels of IL-4, IL-5, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, serum IgE, and OVA-IgE. Thus, the findings of this study strongly supported the idea that LDAC possesses immunomodulatory activity.

Abstract
In the surgical treatment of breast cancer, "de-escalating" is becoming more popular, especially in the treatment of axilla. Axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy has become a routine treatment for axillary-negative breast cancer patients because it can effectively reduce the occurrence of upper limb lymphedema, so that some patients with sentinel lymph node negative can be exempted from axillary lymph node dissection. However, in recent years, several international clinical studies, such as AMAROS trial, explored the use of radiotherapy instead of dissection when 1 to 2 sentinel lymph nodes were positive. The results showed that radiotherapy can reduce the incidence of upper limb edema by nearly 50% compared with dissection. How to interpret the results of such non-inferiority studies, and how to treat the impact of axillary dissection and axillary radiotherapy on the occurrence of lymphedema? Based on the review of literature in recent 10 years, the incidence and hazard ratio of edema related to the two axillary treatments were compared. The conclusion is the hazard ratios are close to each other, around 3 for both arms. The results of clinical studies such as radiotherapy instead of axillary dissection need to be carefully interpreted. At the same time, axillary dissection is still suitable for some patients at current stage, and the corresponding prevention of upper limb lymphedema still needs attention.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the mandibular condylar location and morphology in the temporomandibular joint disorders. Methods: One hundred thirty-seven TMD patients (age 37.5±16.1 years, male/female=39/98) were performed with MRI scan for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from November, 2011 to April, 2019 in Department of Radiology,Hainan Hospital of General Hospital of Chinese PLA and General Hospital of Chinese PLA. The patients were classified into 3 groups according the disc displacement: disc without displacement (DWoD) (185 TMJ), disc displacement with reduction (DDWR) (17 TMJ) and disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR) (72 TMJ). The location (anterior position, central position and posterior position) and morphology (oval shape, flat shape and beaklike shape) of the condylar head were observed on the sagittal PDWI, and the long and short axes were measured on the axial T2WI. Another groups were classified into 3 subgroups according to the disc displacement of bilateral TMJ: bilateral normal disc location (biND) (74 cases), unilateral disc displacement (uniDD) (40 cases) and bilateral disc displacement (23 cases). The inter-condyle angle was measured on the axial T2WI. Results: There was no significant difference for the location of condylar head among DWoD, DDWR and DDwoR groups (χ(2)=7.435, P=0.115). The rate for flat condylar shape was significantly higher in DWoD group [83.9%(115/137)] than that in DDWoR group [50.7%(34/67)], and the rate for beaklike condylar shape was significantly lower in DWoD group [16.1%(22/137)] than that in DDWoR group [49.3%(33/67)] (χ(2)=23.521, P<0.001). The length of long axis presented significantly longer in DWoD group [(17.2±2.4) mm] than that in DDWR group [(15.4±2.0) mm] and that in DDWoR group [(14.7±2.7) mm] (P<0.05). The length of short axis presented significantly longer in DWoD group [(7.3±1.2) mm] than that in DDWR group [(6.5±1.3) mm] and that in DDWoR group [(6.1±1.4) mm] (P<0.05). The inter-condyle angle presented significantly larger in biND group (136°±13°) and uniDD group (132°±14°) than that inbiDD group (124°±17°) (P<0.05). Conclusions: The mandibular condylar morphology changes significantly presented in the patients with temporomandibular disc displacement for the temporomandibular disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a severe inherited disorder leading to rapid neurological deterioration and premature death. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is still the only treatment that halts the neurologic symptoms in ALD. However, many patients lack suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related donors and must rely on alternative donors for a source of stem cells. The purpose of this study was to explore the outcomes of haploidentical allogeneic stem cell transplantation for ALD patients. METHODS Between December 2014 and December 2018, eight children with ALD lacking HLA matched related or unrelated donors were treated with haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The patients received conditioning regimen with busulfan 9.6 mg/kg, cyclophosphamide 200 mg/kg and fludarabine 90 mg/m2. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of anti-human thymocyte globulin, cyclosporine A, mycophenolate mofetil and short course of methotrexate. RESULTS All the 8 children received allogeneic stem cell transplants from their fathers. The median age of the recipients was 8 (range: 5-12) years. The median age of the donors was 36 (range: 32-40) years. All the recipients received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized bone marrow and peripheral blood-derived stem cells. The median number of total mononuclear cells dose and CD34+ dose was 10.89 (range: 9.40-12.16)×108/kg and 7.06 (range: 0.74-7.80)×106/kg, respectively. Neutrophil engraftment occurred a median of 11 days (range:8-13 days) after transplantation. Platelet engraftment occurred a median of 10 days (range:8-12 days) after transplantation. All the patients achieved complete donor chimerism at the time of engraftment. Four patients had grades II-IV acute GVHD and 1 had chronic graft-versus-host disease. No severe chronic GVHD occurred. Among all the children, 2 had cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNAemia and 2 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNAemia. Overall, seven of them survived and had no major complications related to transplantation. One died of cerebral hernia after epilepsy 125 days after transplantation. CONCLUSION The preliminary observation demonstrates that haploidentical allogeneic stem cell transplantation with this novel regimen could successfully achieve full donor chimerism in ALD patients. According to our experience, haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is safe and feasible in the treatment of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.

Abstract
Anthocyanins have been shown to exhibit antitumor activity in several cancers in vitro and in vivo. Oxaliplatin is widely used as an anti-cancer drug. However, a large proportion of patients receiving platinum-based anti-cancer drug treatments will relapse because of metastasis and drug resistance. The aim of this study is to discover an effective anthocyanin that possesses the combinational anti-metastatic effects of oxaliplatin. Our results showed that cyanidin, one of the main constituents of anthocyanins, widely found in black rice, black bean, Hawthorn and other foods, could reverse drug resistance and enhance the effects of oxaliplatin on hepatic cellular cancer (HCC). Cyanidin inhibited migration and reversed EMT biomarker changes induced by low dose OXA. Moreover, 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) can be considered a potential target and cyanidin significantly increased OXA sensitivity and inhibited the EMT induced by OXA via PI3K/Akt signaling in HCC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the causes of complication of early acute kidney injury (AKI) in four severely burned patients, and to explore the related treatment methods. Methods: The clinical data of 4 patients with severe burn complicated with early AKI admitted to Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Jinan University (hereinafter referred to as our hospital) from June 2014 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were male, aged 23-33 (30±5) years old, with depth of burns ranged from deep partial-thickness to full-thickness, complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome of extremities and varying degrees of striated muscle injury, and treated in other hospitals before transfer to our hospital. The patients were numbered from small to large according to the total burn area. The total burn area of patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 10%, 80%, 90%, and 95% total body surface area respectively, their occurrence time of early AKI was 48, 11, 29, and 48 hours after injury respectively, and their time of arriving our hospital was 60, 11, 29, and 144 hours after injury respectively. Hypovolemic shock occurred in patients No. 2 and 3 at admission to our hospital. All the patients received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after admission to our hospital. Under the support of hemodynamic monitoring and organ function monitoring, the limbs complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome were incised, thorough decompression exploration was performed, and necrotic muscle tissue was removed or amputation was performed. After escharectomy and decompression of limbs, fresh granulation wounds were formed by temporarily covering wounds with Jieya dressing skin or pig skin, multiple debridements, and vacuum sealing drainage. Fresh granulation wounds and other wounds underwent staged eschar excision and shaving were covered with autologous Meek skin graft, particulate skin graft, reticular skin graft and small skin graft respectively. The treatment outcome, CRRT time, operation times, time of recovery of serum creatinine and myoglobin, length of hospital stay, and follow-up were recorded. Results: All the 4 patients were cured after transfer to our hospital. Among them, totally 5 limbs of patients No. 1 and No. 4 underwent amputation because of complication of myofascial compartment syndrome and a large amount of necrotic muscle which could not be preserved. Patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were treated with CRRT for 19, 35, 14, and 25 days respectively and performed with operation for 5, 6, 10, 8 times respectively. Serum creatinine of patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 returned to normal on 22, 35, 37, and 48 days after transfer respectively, and their serum myoglobin returned to normal on 18, 28, 25, and 30 days after transfer respectively. Patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were hospitalized for 52, 105, 148, and 156 days and discharged after basic wound healing. Follow-up for 1 to 36 months showed no abnormal renal function in 4 patients. Conclusions: The early AKI in patients No. 1 and 4 was caused by rhabdomyolysis after severe burn complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome, while that of the other 2 cases were also related to hypovolemic shock and poor renal perfusion. The success rate of early AKI treatment in severely burned patients can be effectively improved by removing the causes of diseases at the same time of CRRT and actively treating burn wounds under the support of organ function and hemodynamic monitoring.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate effects of clinical strategy on repair of pressure injury on ischial tuberosity based on the histopathological type. Methods: From January 2014 to January 2018, 33 patients with 33 pressure injuries on ischial tuberosity were admitted to our department. There were 25 males and 8 females aged 35 to 87 years. Pressure injuries on ischial tuberosity were repaired with different methods according to pathological types of denatured tissue on basal parts of wounds and tissue defect volumes. Areas of wounds after thorough debridement ranged from 2.0 cm×1.0 cm to 14.0 cm×12.0 cm. Pressure injuries of necrosis type with tissue defect volumes of 6.5-9.5 cm(3) were sutured directly after debridement at the first stage. Tissue defect volumes of 3 patients with pressure injuries of granulation type ranged from 56.0 to 102.5 cm(3). According to situation around wounds, the above mentioned 3 patients were respectively repaired with posterior femoral Z-shaped reconstruction, posterior femoral advanced V-Y flap, and posterior femoral propeller flap. Tissue defect volumes of 5 patients with pressure injuries of infection type ranged from 67.5 to 111.0 cm(3). Among the patients, 2 patients were repaired with posterior femoral propeller flaps, 2 patients were repaired with posterior femoral advanced V-Y flaps, and 1 patient was repaired with posterior femoral Z-shaped reconstruction. Among patients with pressure injuries of synovium type, wounds of 14 patients with tissue defect volumes 6.4-9.5 cm(3) were sutured directly after debridement, and tissue defect volumes of another 8 patients were 97.0-862.5 cm(3). Among the 8 patients, 7 patients were repaired with gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps and continued vacuum sealing drainage was performed for 7 to 14 days according to volume of drainage, and 1 patient was repaired with posterior femoral propeller flap. Areas of flaps or myocutaneous flaps ranged from 3.5 cm× 2.5 cm to 14.0 cm×12.0 cm. The donor sites of flaps were sutured directly. Operative areas after operation and healing of wounds during follow-up were observed. Results: The sutured sites of 33 patients connected tightly, with normal skin temperature, color, and reflux. During follow-up of 12 months, wounds of 25 patients healed well with no local ulceration, and 8 patients were admitted to our department again due to recurrence of pressure injuries on or near the primary sites. Pathological types of pressure injuries of the 8 patients were synovium types. After complete debridement, the tissue defect volumes were 336.8-969.5 cm(3,) wounds with areas ranged from 8.0 cm×7.0 cm to 14.0 cm×12.0 cm were repaired with gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps or posterior femoral propeller flaps which ranged from 8.0 cm×7.0 cm to 14.0 cm×12.0 cm. Eight patients were discharged after wound healing completely. During follow-up of 12 months, operative sites of the patients healed well, with no recurrence. Conclusions: Appropriate and targeted methods should be chosen to repair pressure injuries on ischial tuberosity based on the pathological types. Direct suture after debridement is the first choice to repair pressure injury of necrosis type. Pressure injuries of granulation type and infection type can be repaired with posterior femoral propeller flap, Z-shaped reconstruction, or advanced V-Y flap according to situation around wounds. Gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap is the first choice to repair pressure injury of synovium type. In addition, recurrence-prone characteristics of pressure injury of synovium type should be taken into consideration, plan should be made previously, and resources should be reserved.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCV-based DAAs therapy for chronic HCV infected Chinese patients. Methods: An open-label, non-randomized, prospective study was designed. Fifty-two patients with chronic HCV infection were enrolled. Among them, there was one patient after liver transplantation, 2 patients after kidney transplantation, 3 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and 4 patients with HBV infection. Thirteen cases with chronic hepatitis C (one compensated cirrhosis) who were negative for resistance-related variants [NS5A RAS (-)] of gene 1b and NS5A were treated with daclatasvir (DCV) + asunaprevir (ASV) for 24 weeks. Twenty-five cases of CHC (six compensated cirrhosis) with GT 1b, 2a, 3a, 3b, 6a were treated with DCV + SOF ± RBV for 24 weeks. 8 cases with decompensated cirrhosis of gene 1b and NS5A RAS(-) were given DCV + SOF + RBV regimen for 12 weeks. Six cases with decompensated cirrhosis, of gene 2a, 1b, 2a, 3a, 3b, were given DCV + SOF + RBV regimen for 24 weeks. HCV RNA, blood routine test, liver and kidney function, and upper abdominal ultrasound/MRI were measured at baseline, 4 weeks of treatment, end of treatment, and 12 weeks of follow-up. The incidence of adverse events and laboratory abnormalities during treatment were recorded. A t-test was used to compare the measurement data between two groups, and analysis of variance was used to compare the measurement data between multiple groups. Results: Sixteen patients (100%) achieved SVR12 after treatment, with 0% recurrence rate. Rapid virological response (RVR) of the four treatment regimens were 76.92%, 54.17%, 87.50%, and 83.33%, respectively, and 32 patients achieved 100% virological response after the completion of treatment. The incidence of adverse events of chronic hepatitis C with cirrhosis and decompensated cirrhosis was 62.5% and 64.29%, respectively. The most common adverse event was fatigue in CHC (25.00%), and elevated indirect bilirubin in decompensated cirrhosis (42.86%). No serious adverse drug events, deaths or adverse reactions occurred. Conclusion: DCV-based DAAs regimen is promising option for the treatment of HCV genotypes, compensated cirrhosis, decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and HCV infection after liver/kidney transplantation in china. Above all, it has high SVR12 with good tolerability and safety profile.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects and related mechanism of hemin on the progression of hepatic fibrosis in rats. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, 4-week model group, 6-week model group, hemin inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin-IX (ZnPP-IX) intervention group and hemin intervention group. Hemin intervention group in complex liver fibrosis model was intraperitonealy administered ZnPP-IX or hemin every other day for 2 weeks from the fourth week. The mRNA expression of HO-1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the liver tissue was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect HO-1 and localization of α-SMA expression. Serum hyaluronic acid, propeptide of type III collagen and hepatic transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) expressions were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The content of hydroxyproline in hepatic tissues was measured by alkaline hydrolysis method. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean of each group. The difference between the two groups was compared by independent samples t- test. P-values < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Compared with model groups and ZnPP-IX intervention group, Hemin's intervention significantly increased the expression of HO-1 mRNA (P < 0.01) and protein distribution in liver tissues, while the expression of alpha-SMA mRNA was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in portal space and areas around the fibrotic septum, and hepatic sinus. Hyp content and serum hyaluronic acid and propeptide of type III collagen decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, NF-κB p65 mRNA expression and the downstream production of TGFβ and IL-6 in Hemin intervention group were also inhibited (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Hemin can significantly inhibit the progression of hepatic fibrosis in rats by up-regulating HO-1 expression, and the inhibiting activity of NF-κB p65 leads to downstream of the inflammatory factors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) prophylaxis duration on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) using 'Beijing Protocol'. Methods: Adult patients (≥14 years) received haplo-HSCT in Peking University Institute of Hematology from Sep, 2016 to Mar, 2017 were retrospectively reviewed if they fulfilled the criterias: ①diagnosed with hematological maligancies; ②standard-risk status at haplo-HSCT. A total of 237 patients [including 102 patients with long MMF duration (defined as started on day -9 with 100 mg/d, adjusted to 500 mg/d from day +30 and discontinued on day +45 to +60 or occurrence of CMV/EBV reactivation or late-onset hemorrhagic cytitis), and 135 patients with short MMF duration (defined as started on day -9 with 500 mg/d and discontinued on the day achieved neutrophil engraftment)] were reviewed. The incidence of aGVHD, virus infection and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups. Results: The median durations of MMF prophylaxis of long and short duration groups were 27(7-71) and 15(9-24) days, respectively after haplo-HSCT. There were no differences of baseline characteristics (including sex, patient age, disease, mismatched HLA loci, donor-recipient relation, donor-recipient sex and donor age) between the two groups. The incidences of the grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ and Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD in long and short duration groups were 31.1% versus 17.6% (P=0.018) and 7.4% verus 7.8% (P=0.900), respectively. The duration of MMF prophylaxis was not found to be associated with gradeⅡ-Ⅳ aGVHD by the multivariate analysis. There were no significant differences in terms of CMV viremia, EBV viremia, hemorrhagic cytitis and OS between the two groups. Conclusion: Prophylaxis with short duration MMF in the setting of 'Beijing protocol' haplo-SCT was not associated with increased acute GVHD with no impact on OS, which indicated that short duration MMF might be a feasible GVHD prophylaxis regimen.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of monitoring ETV6-RUNX1 fusion gene in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: Clinical data of 13 children received allo-HSCT in Peking University Institute of Hematology from May 2009 to March 2016 were retrospectively collected. The ETV6-RUNX1 gene was examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) . The correlation between its expression level and the disease status was analyzed. Results: Of 13 enrolled ALL cases, the ETV6-RUNX1 expression of 7 patients converted to positive after transplant at a median time of 137 days (range, 28-270 days) . The expression level of the first positive sample was 0.034% (range, 0.004%-0.061%) . The duration from ETV6-RUNX1 positive to hematological relapse was 196 days (range, 28-666 days) . Four patients experienced relapse at a median time of 294 days (range, 104-803 days) after allo-HSCT. The ETV6-RUNX1 expression converted to positive prior to MRD. Patients with positive ETV6-RUNX1 gene expression pre-transplantation would be more likely to relapse. Conclusion: Monitoring ETV6-RUNX1 by RQ-PCR could be used to evaluate MRD status after allo-HSCT. Patients with positive ETV6-RUNX1 after transplant had a poor prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of transcutaneous oximetry in patients with severe acute respiratory failure receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO). Methods: Forty-nine patients diagnosed as severe acute respiratory failure receiving Venous-Venous(V-V)ECMO were enrolled from January 2013 to December 2015 in intensive care unit(ICU) of Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.The 10-min oxygen challenge test was performed using transcutaneous oximetry 6 h after the initiation of ECMO, and the 10-min oxygen challenge test value(OCT(10)) and oxygen challenge index(OCI) were calculated.The following data were collected: patients' baseline characteristics, results of arterial blood gas analysis, ventilator settings, APACHEⅡ, SOFA and Murray lung injury score. Patients were stratified into the survival group and the death group based on their mortality status at 60 d after initiation of ECMO.Patients' characteristics and clinical data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 software. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis for predicting 60 d mortality was carried out to find area under curve (AUC) and threshold levels of OCT(10) and OCI. Analysis of survival probability was carried out by Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with outcomes. Results: There were 25 patients in the survival group and 24 patients in the death group. The characteristics(i.e., age, sex, primary disease) and clinical data(i.e., results of arterial blood gas, ventilator settings) of the 2 groups were similar (P>0.05). The survival group had a significant higher OCT(10) and OCI [(77±11) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), 0.77±0.17] than the death group [(57±12) mmHg, 0.55±0.13, all P<0.05]. The AUC value of OCT(10) and OCI for predicting 60 d mortality were 0.87±0.07(95%CI: 0.69-0.96, P<0.05) and 0.83±0.18(95%CI: 0.64-0.94, P<0.05) respectively, and the cutoff points for OCT(10) and OCI were 72.00 mmHg and 0.80. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that a OCT(10)≥72 mmHg (81.3% vs 15.4%, χ(2)=7.04, P<0.01) and a OCI≥0.8(77.8% vs 21.7%, χ(2)=13.15, P<0.01) were related to better outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that OCT(10)(OR=0.88, 95%CI: 0.80-0.96, P<0.01) and OCI (OR=0.01, 95%CI: 0.001-0.086, P<0.01) were both risk factors associated with 60 d mortality. Conclusion: The OCT(10) and OCI are predictive of mortality for patients with severe acute respiratory failure receiving ECMO support.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and HLA-identical sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) for the treatment of adult hematological malignancies. Methods: From April 2011 to December 2015, a total of 81 patients receiving single-unit UCBT and 57 patients receiving HLA-identical sibling PBSCT were enrolled in this study. All of the patients received myelablative conditioning. Cyclosporine combined with mycophenolate mofetil was adopted for GVHD prophylaxis. Results: The cumulative incidence of neutropil engraftment at day-42 was 95.0% and 100% in UCBT and sibling PBSCT groups, respectively (P=0.863) . Platelet engraftment at day 100 was 87.3% (95%CI 76.8%-93.1%) in UCBT group, which was significantly lower than that of sibling PBSCT group[98.2% (95%CI 87.3%-99.7%) ] (P=0.005) . There were no significant differences in terms of Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD or Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute GVHD in two groups (P=0.142, 0.521) . The 3-year chronic GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD were 14.9% (95%CI 5.2%-23.5%) and 11.2% (95%CI 2.9%-18.7%) , respectively in UCBT group, which was significantly lower than that of sibling PBSCT group[35.2% (95%CI 19.4%-47.8%) , 31.4% (95%CI 16.2%-43.9%) ] (P=0.008, 0.009) . The 3-year transplant-related mortality (TRM) was similar between two groups (30.1% vs 23.2%, P=0.464) . The relapse rate at 3-year in UCBT group[12.9% (95%CI 6.6%-21.5%) ]was significantly lower than that in sibling PBSCT group[24.3% (95%CI 13.5%-36.8%) ] (P=0.039) . There were no significant differences in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between two groups (58.6% vs 54.8%, P=0.634; 57.0% vs 52.4%, P=0.563) . But GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS) in UCBT group [55.7% (95%CI 44.1%-65.8%) ]was significantly higher than that of sibling PBSCT group[42.9% (95%CI 29.8%-55.3%) ] (P=0.047) . Conclusions: For adult hematological malignancies, the incidences of acute GVHD and TRM were similar between UCBT and sibling PBSCT recipients, and the incidences of chronic GVHD and relapse were lower in UCBT recipients. UCBT recipients had higher GRFS rate although OS and DFS were similar between two groups, which may reflect the real recovery and better quality of life following UCBT.

Abstract
In order to prevent and treat drug-resistant falciparum malaria, China began the task named "534" in 1967.Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine participated in this task, Li Guoqiao was one of the leaders.He and his team were sent to Hainan and Yunnan to prevent and cure falciparum malaria.Li risked his health to test clinical effect during the task. This made the therapy shift from acupuncture to antimalarial drugs, and researchers focus on the treatment of severe malaria and cerebral malaria. When he was working at Yunnan, he used oral artemisinin to treat patients with falciparum malaria and Cerebral malarial successfully. It is the first time proven that artemisinin could be used to cure malarial. After that Li and his team came back to Hainan, cooperated with other teams by using artemisinin to treat malarial. Li Guoqiao devoted himself to the international team work for the cure of artemisinin. From 1970s to 1990s, he once went to Cambodia and Vietnam to cure many local Cerebral malaria patients by using artemisinin.Also, he is the first person who invented "FEMSE" (Fast Elimination of Malaria by Source Eradication). He used this kind of method to help patients at Comoros, and achieved great objective. In order to benefit all people, Li Guoqiao is still exploring a new generation of artemisinin compounds that are more economical, and more convenient for patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors and sonographic findings of pregnancies complicated by placenta increta or placenta percreta. Methods: Totally, 2 219 cases were retrospectively analyzed from 20 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2011 to December 2015. The data were collected based on the original case records. All cases were divided into two groups, the placenta increta (PI) group (79.1%, 1 755/2 219) and the placenta percreta (PP) group (20.9%, 464/2 219) , according to the degree of placental implantation. The risk factors and sonographic findings of placenta increta or percreta were analyzed by uni-factor and logistic regression statistic methods. Results: The risk factors associated with the degree of placental implantation were age, gravida, previous abortion or miscarriage, previous cesarean sections, and placenta previa (all P<0.05), especially, previous cesarean sections (χ(2)=157.961) and placenta previa (χ(2)=91.759). Sonographic findings could be used to predict the degree of placental invasion especially the boundaries between placenta and uterine serosa, the boundary between placenta and myometrium, the disruption of the placental-uterine wall interface and loss of the normal retroplacental hypoechoic zone(all P<0.01). Conclusions: Previous cesarean sections and placenta previa are the main independent risk factors associated with the degree of placenta implantation. Ultrasound could be used to make a prenatal suggestive diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders.

Abstract
This case report concerns a 22-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). She had intermittent fever, butterfly erythema, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, and multiple arthralgia in the past seven years, but she did not adhere to regular treatments. The edema of the lower extremities and face aggravated in the recent two weeks, so she was admitted to our Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology. Meanwhile, we found she had severe hypertension, the maximal blood pressure was 170/120 mmHg. The patient had high SLE disease activity (the disease activity index score was as high as 23) with blood involvement, acute renal insufficiency, multiple serous effusion and rash. After one week treatments of intravenous methylprednisolone 80 mg daily and other drugs, her conditions made some extent improvement. However, she suffered sudden epileptic attacks. No positive neuropathological signs were found, and the blood pressure was up to 190/130 mmHg before the onset of the seizures. Her cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure was 330 mmH2O, the CSF protein level was normal value, and the white blood cell count was 0 cell/mm3, with no signs of infection. Cranial MRI showed vasogenic edema at bilateral parietal, occipito-parietal regions, and centrum ovale. We prescribed drugs of decreasing intracranial pressure, intravenous drugs of decreasing blood pressure and midazolam for sedation, without corticosteroid impulse therapy. She recovered consciousness in the next day, without epilepsy recurrence. We eventually diagnosed it as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), according to the history, laboratory results, imaging featuresand clinical outcome. PRES is a disorder of reversible subcortical vasogenic brain edema in patients with acute neurological symptoms (eg, seizures, encephalopathy, headache, and visual disturbances). PRES is mainly caused by blood pressure changes or endothelial injury, which lead to breakdown of the blood-brain barrier and subsequent brain edema. Most patients have a favourable prognosis. SLE complicated with PRES is not rare, especially in patients with disease activity, hypertension, lupus nephritis and/or renal insufficiency, and use of cytotoxic drugs, early recognition and appropriate treatment remain important. Brainstem involvement, intracranial hemorrhage, renal insufficiency and high disease activity of lupus are risk factors for poor prognosis.

Abstract
Computed Tomography (CT) is a powerful method for non-destructive testing (NDT) and metrology awakes with expanding application fields. To improve the spatial resolution of high energy CT, a micro-spot gamma-ray source based on bremsstrahlung from a laser wakefield accelerator was developed. A high energy CT using the source was performed, which shows that the resolution of reconstruction can reach 100 μm at 10% contrast. Our proof-of-principle demonstration indicates that laser driven micro-spot gamma-ray sources provide a prospective way to increase the spatial resolution and toward to high energy micro CT. Due to the advantage in spatial resolution, laser based high energy CT represents a large potential for many NDT applications.

Methods: A total of 17 patients with hereditary FⅤD admitted to the Department of Hematology, Peking University People's Hospital from February 2013 to January 2018 were selected, and their clinical characteristics, laboratory examination, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were 9 males and 8 females patients with FⅤD, the median age was 36 (1-72 ) years. The median age of men was 39 (1-72)years, and the median age of women was 33 (8-56)years. There was no significant difference between them (P=0.793). The median prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) values were 21.0(13.0-39.6) s and 54.6(38.2-121.2) s, and the median level of plasma FⅤ was 8.2% (0.9%-39%). Thirteen cases (13/17) were mild, 3 cases (3/17) were moderate, and only 1 case (1/17) was severe according to the FⅤ level. Five cases (5/17) had bleeding, including 3 cases with skin ecchymosis, 1 case with vaginal bleeding, and 1 case with gastrointestinal bleeding. According to the severity of bleeding, 1 case (1/17) had severe bleeding, and the other 4 cases (4/17) were mild bleeding. Conclusions: Patients with hereditary FⅤD either have or do not have bleeding symptoms, with prolonged PT and APTT and decreased plasma of FⅤ activity. There is no need for treatment for those without bleeding symptoms. Fresh frozen plasma is the first choice for patients who have bleeding, and the overall prognosis is good.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of interleukin (IL)-7 on anti-tumor activity of CD8(+) T cells in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: Twenty-seven NSCLC patients and ten healthy controls were included from Zhengzhou Central Hospital between January 2017 and July 2017. Plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) (both tumor site and non-tumor site) were collect from NSCLC patients, while plasma and PBMCs were also collected from healthy controls. IL-7 level and IL-7 receptor α (CD127) mRNA relative expression was measured. Purified CD8(+) T cells and primary NSCLC cells were stimulated with recombinant IL-7. Cellular proliferation, cytokines secretion, and protein expression in IL-7 signaling pathway were investigated. Direct/indirect contact coculture system of CD8(+) T cells and primary NSCLC cells was also used to assess the cytolytic and noncytolytic activity after IL-7 stimulation. Results: Plasma IL-7 level was significantly reduced in NSCLC patients compared with normal controls[1 731 (1 364, 2 536) vs 2 686 (1 692, 4 786) ng/L, P=0.023). IL-7 level in BALF isolated from tumor site was also remarkably down-regulated compared with non-tumor site in NSCLC patients[1 045 (562, 1 550) vs 1 599 (1 166, 2 107) ng/L, P=0.006 9). There was no statistical difference of CD127 mRNA between the two groups. Recombinant IL-7 stimulation did not affect cellular proliferation and cytokines production in primary NSCLC cells, however, remarkably increased cellular proliferation, interferon (IFN)-γ/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α secretion, and signal transducers and activators of transcription 5 (STAT5) phosphorylation and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) expression of CD8(+) T cells from NSCLC patients. IL-7 stimulation also significantly enhanced the cytolytic and noncytolytic function of CD8(+) T cells on primary NSCLC cells. Conclusion: IL-7 enhances anti-tumor activity of CD8(+) T cells in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study considered Chengdu, Sichuan, China as an example to investigate the dental service utilization by foreigners and its influencing factors. Results of the study can be referred by dental practitioners to explore international development of dental services and can be provided for health policy makers to formulate oral health policies for immigrants. METHODS A simple random sampling method with a questionnaire was designed based on Anderson's health utilization model and "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" by the World Health Organization. Oral health condition, consciousness, and demographic data were collected. Binary Logistic regression and stratified analysis with SPSS 20.0 were performed. RESULTS A total of 654 immigrants repre-senting 75 countries participated in the study. Among all participants, 102 (15.6%) experienced dental problems while in residence in China but paid no visit to dentists. Female immigrants, who spent considerable time living in Chengdu, experienced oral problems in a year, used dental floss, and reported family members in Chengdu, were more likely to visit Chinese dentists. Participants who lived in Chengdu for at least 10.5 months were the threshold distinguishing differences in dental visits in the country. CONCLUSIONS The policymakers in Chengdu should consider creating a convenient and conducive dental care environment for immigrants. Additional information related to urgent oral and routine care should be provided to short- and long-term living immigrants in China. Dental practitioners in China should also contemplate on collaborating with foreign dental insurance companies to ensure better dental care access for immigrant patients.

Sex-specific relevance of diabetes to occlusive vascular and other mortality: a collaborative meta-analysis of individual data from 980 793 adults from 68 prospective studies. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2018; 6:538-546. [PMID: 29752194 PMCID: PMC6008496 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(18)30079-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 129] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2017] [Revised: 02/20/2018] [Accepted: 02/26/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that diabetes confers a higher relative risk of vascular mortality among women than among men, but whether this increased relative risk in women exists across age groups and within defined levels of other risk factors is uncertain. We aimed to determine whether differences in established risk factors, such as blood pressure, BMI, smoking, and cholesterol, explain the higher relative risks of vascular mortality among women than among men. METHODS In our meta-analysis, we obtained individual participant-level data from studies included in the Prospective Studies Collaboration and the Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration that had obtained baseline information on age, sex, diabetes, total cholesterol, blood pressure, tobacco use, height, and weight. Data on causes of death were obtained from medical death certificates. We used Cox regression models to assess the relevance of diabetes (any type) to occlusive vascular mortality (ischaemic heart disease, ischaemic stroke, or other atherosclerotic deaths) by age, sex, and other major vascular risk factors, and to assess whether the associations of blood pressure, total cholesterol, and body-mass index (BMI) to occlusive vascular mortality are modified by diabetes. RESULTS Individual participant-level data were analysed from 980 793 adults. During 9·8 million person-years of follow-up, among participants aged between 35 and 89 years, 19 686 (25·6%) of 76 965 deaths were attributed to occlusive vascular disease. After controlling for major vascular risk factors, diabetes roughly doubled occlusive vascular mortality risk among men (death rate ratio [RR] 2·10, 95% CI 1·97-2·24) and tripled risk among women (3·00, 2·71-3·33; χ2 test for heterogeneity p<0·0001). For both sexes combined, the occlusive vascular death RRs were higher in younger individuals (aged 35-59 years: 2·60, 2·30-2·94) than in older individuals (aged 70-89 years: 2·01, 1·85-2·19; p=0·0001 for trend across age groups), and, across age groups, the death RRs were higher among women than among men. Therefore, women aged 35-59 years had the highest death RR across all age and sex groups (5·55, 4·15-7·44). However, since underlying confounder-adjusted occlusive vascular mortality rates at any age were higher in men than in women, the adjusted absolute excess occlusive vascular mortality associated with diabetes was similar for men and women. At ages 35-59 years, the excess absolute risk was 0·05% (95% CI 0·03-0·07) per year in women compared with 0·08% (0·05-0·10) per year in men; the corresponding excess at ages 70-89 years was 1·08% (0·84-1·32) per year in women and 0·91% (0·77-1·05) per year in men. Total cholesterol, blood pressure, and BMI each showed continuous log-linear associations with occlusive vascular mortality that were similar among individuals with and without diabetes across both sexes. INTERPRETATION Independent of other major vascular risk factors, diabetes substantially increased vascular risk in both men and women. Lifestyle changes to reduce smoking and obesity and use of cost-effective drugs that target major vascular risks (eg, statins and antihypertensive drugs) are important in both men and women with diabetes, but might not reduce the relative excess risk of occlusive vascular disease in women with diabetes, which remains unexplained.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of methylation status of breast cancer metastasis suppressor gene 1 (BRMS1) on the expression of breast cancer and the biological behavior of cancer cells in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: The expression of BRMS1 in TNBC tissues and corresponding non-malignant tissues and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters were detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression of BRMS1 in normal breast epithelial cells and TNBC cells were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. The methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) was used to detect the methylation status of BRMS1 in each cell. These cells were treated with demethylated preparations (5-Aza-dC) to re-activate BRMS1 expression. Using tumor cell invasion assay to detect influence of BRMS1 demethylation on the invasion capacity of cancer cells. The data were statistically analyzed. Results: The positive expression rate of BRMS1 protein in TNBC tissues was significantly lower than that in corresponding non-malignant tissues (χ(2)= 6.635, P<0.05). The mRNA expression level of BRMS1 in patients with lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than those with no lymph node metastasis (P=0.018). The down-regulation of BRMS1 expression was related to the methylation of DNA promoter, which was statistically significant (χ(2)=14.68, P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of BRMS1 was also correlated with tumor size and TNM staging (P=0.000-0.003). After using 5-Aza-dC, the number of cells with invasive capacity was significantly lower than those of the control group (t=3.262-10.72, P<0.05). Conclusions: The decrease of BRMS1 expression in TNBC cells is related to the methylation of DNA. Demethylation can inhibit the invasion of breast cancer cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between nailfold capillaroscopic (NC) findings and the presence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients. METHODS We retrospectively involved 71 SSc patients, 45 patients with ILD. NC was performed in all the patients according to the standard method. The NC findings were semi-quantitatively scored, including enlarged and giant capillaries, hemorrhages, loss of capillaries, avascular areas, ramified/bushy capillaries and disorganization of the vascular array. The demographic and clinical data collected were gender, age, presence/absence of Raynaud phenomenon (RP), duration of RP, serological acute phase reactants and antibodies, presence of ILD (also evaluated the CT score for ILD) and pulmonary function parameters. RESULTS Among the 71 patients, the frequency of the women was 91.5%, the mean age was (52.59±12.77) years, and disease duration was (3.00±6.00) years. NC changes of the scleroderma pattern were observed in 90.1% patients. There were 45 patients with ILD and 26 patients without ILD. The patients with ILD had significantly higher loss of capillaries score [0.50 (1.03) vs. 0.00 (0.43), P=0.003], avascular area score [0.75 (1.24) vs. 0.25 (0.83), P=0.006] and ramified/bushy capillaries score [0.33 (0.88) vs. 0.13 (0.25), P=0.006] compared with those without ILD. Moreover, ramified/bushy capillaries score together with diffused SSc were independent risk factors for the presence of ILD. And the score of giant capillaries were significantly lower in the patients with more severe ILD group [0.25 (0.94) vs. 0.00 (0.28), for the mild and severe ILD groups respectively, P=0.019]. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to the scores of enlarged capillaries, hemorrhages, or disorganization of the vascular array. CONCLUSION Capillary deletion and severe deformity in NC were associated with the presence of ILD in SSc patients. And patients with less giant capillaries had more severe ILD involvement. These indicated that NC maybe a useful tool to evaluate ILD in SSc.
