Abstract
Objective: To investigatethe clinicopathological features of stratified mucin-producing intraepithelial lesion (SMILE) and invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (ISMC) of the cervix with review of the literature. Methods: Sixteen patients with SMILE/ISMC components of the cervix were collected from files in the Department of Pathology at Xijing Hospital from January 2007 to March 2019. Clinicopathological data included age at diagnosis, clinical presentation, histological type, depth of invasion measurement, the status of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and lymph node metastasis, FIGO staging and follow-up. Histochemistry AB and PAS-D staining and immunostaining for cytokeratin (CK) 7, p16, p63, p40, PAX8, MUC6, p53 were performed simultaneously. In addition, twelve cases with invasive endocervical adenocarcinoma were evaluated using three-tiered pattern-based system (also called Pattern Classification). Results: The average age at diagnosis for patients was 49.7 years (range, 33 to 65 years), and vaginal bleeding occurred in the majority of cases (13/16). The characteristic morphology of SMILE and ISMC was present as non-invasive and invasive stratified epithelium that the full-thickness cells contained different amount of cytoplasmic mucin, respectively. Five cases of SMILE coexisted with adenocarcinoma in situ (1 case), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (1 case), and invasive adenocarcinoma (3 cases). Thirteen cases with ISMC components included pure ISMC (3 cases), mixed with usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (8 cases) or squamous cell carcinoma (2 cases). All pure ISMC had lymph vascular space invasion and depth of invasion exceeded 10 mm. All eleven cases of invasive adenocarcinoma with ISMC components belonged to Pattern C tumors, which typically showed diffusely destructive stromal invasion, solid or poorly differentiated components. The results of histochemical staining confirmed that SMILE/ISMC cells were rich in acidic and neutral mucin. The immunohistochemical staining for CK7 and p16 was diffusely strong positive in SMILE (4/4) and ISMC (8/8) components. The positive expressions of p63 and p40 was located in peripheral cells of stratified epithelial nests or merely in a few cells of SMILE (1/3) and ISMC (2/8) components. In ISMC tissues, there were partial expression of MUC6 (5/7), focal expression of PAX8 (2/8), and wild-type expression pattern (4/10) or completely negative expression (6/10) of p53 protein. All thirteen patients with follow-up data were alive (mean 50.5 months, range 4 to 140). Conclusions: As new tumor entities, SMILE is a rare and unique endocervical intraepithelial lesion, while ISMC belongs to an invasive leison. Given that the tumors with ISMC components may have aggressive behavior, it is important for clinicians and pathologists to fully understand the clinicopathological features of SMILE and ISMC.

Abstract
Bioanalysis in biosimilar biological product development (BPD) plays a critical role in demonstrating pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity across products. The 2018 FDA Bioanalytical Method Validation guidance for industry provides general principles in the development, validation, and conduct of bioanalytical assays. Given that the PK similarity assessment in BPD programs involves two or more non-identical products, there are additional considerations for bioanalytical methods. Here in, we provide our perspectives on the definition of (1) a single bioanalytical method in the context of BPD in supporting a PK similarity study, (2) bioanalytical method comparability during accuracy and precision experiments to determine the potential bias difference prior to assessing other validation parameters, and (3) bioanalytical method validations that support PK similarity assessments.

Abstract
Abstract
Three techniques for measuring methotrexate show various cross reactivities with methotrexate-related compounds: “high-pressure” liquid chromatography, by principle, is virtually specific for methotrexate; the enzyme-inhibition assay quantitates methotrexate, methotrexate diglutamate, and methotrexate triglutamate equally well, but has a 10% cross reactivity with 4-amino-4-deoxy-N10-methylpteroic acid and 1% with 7-hydroxymethotrexate; radioimmunoassay shows an equal cross reactivity with methotrexate, 4-amino-4-deoxy-N10-methylpteroic acid, methotrexate diglutamate and triglutamate, and a 5 to 10% cross reactivity with 7-hydroxymethotrexate. Radioimmunoassay almost always yielded the highest values for methotrexate, followed by enzyme-inhibition assay then liquid chromatography. The presence of two methotrexate-related compounds, 7-hydroxymethotrexate and 4-amino-4-deoxy-N10-methylpteroic acid, was confirmed in human urine samples and quantitated in patients’ plasma by liquid chromatography, the respective maximum plasma concentrations being 250 and 16 mumol/L. Materials cross reacting with methotrexate in radioimmunoassay of chromatographic fractions from plasma were also noted in fractions corresponding to methotrexate diglutamate and triglutamate peaks, in quantities estimated to be 47 and 30 nmol/L methotrexate equivalents, respectively. 7-Hydroxymethotrexate is eliminated more slowly than methotrexate and its production increases with dosages of methotrexate.

Abstract
The circular (CPGE) and linear photogalvanic effect (LPGE) of a three-dimensional topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin film of seven quintuple layers excited by near-infrared (1064 nm) and mid-infrared (10.6 [Formula: see text]m) radiations have been investigated. The comparison of the CPGE current measured parallel and perpendicular to the incident plane, together with the comparison of the CPGE current under front and back illuminations, indicates that the CPGE under front illumination of 1064 nm light is dominated by the top surface states of the Bi2Se3 thin film. The CPGE current excited by 10.6 [Formula: see text]m light is about one order larger than that excited by 1064 nm light, which may be attributed to the smaller cancelation effect of the CPGE generated in the two-dimensional electron gas when excited by 10.6 [Formula: see text]m light. Under the excitation of 1064 nm light, the LPGE current is dominated by the component which shows an even parity of incident angles, while the LPGE current excited by 10.6 [Formula: see text]m light is mainly contributed by the component which is an odd parity of incident angles. Both of the CPGE and LPGE currents excited by 1064 nm decrease with increasing temperature, which may be owing to the decrease of the momentum relaxation time and the stronger electron-electron scattering with increasing temperature, respectively.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of gastric cancer patients. Methods: The clinical data of 788 patients with advanced gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed. According to WHO weight standard, BMI<18.5 kg/m(2) was the low weight group, BMI 18.5~< 25.0 kg/m(2) was the normal weight group, BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m(2) was the overweight group. The low weight group included 127 cases, the normal weight group included 540 cases and the overweight group included 121 cases. The relationship between different BMI groups and clinicopathological characteristics of patients was analyzed. Cox multivariate regression model was used to analyze the independent factor of the prognosis of patients. Results: The average BMI of 788 patients was 21.70 kg/m(2). The patients' BMI was significantly correlated with depth of invasion, maximum diameter of tumors, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (all P<0.05). BMI was marginally correlated with gender, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and histological type (all P>0.05). Furthermore, BMI was significantly correlated with prealbumin, prognostic nutritional index, total protein, albumin and hemoglobin levels (all P<0.05). BMI was also significantly correlated with intraoperative bleeding volume, operation time, number of lymph node resection, number of lymph node metastasis and lymph node metastatic ratio (all P<0.05). The median survival time of the entire group was 35.3 months. The median survival time of patients in low weight group, normal weight group, and overweight group was 21.0 months, 26.3 months, and 31.2 months, respectively, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). Cox multivariate analysis showed that TNM stage, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, PLR and BMI were independent risk factors of the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (all P<0.05). Conclusions: BMI is associated with the nutritional status, intraoperative blood loss, operative time, and lymph node metastatic ratio of patients with gastric cancer. BMI is an independent risk factor of the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. The overall survival time of patients with low body weight is shorter than those of normal weight and overweight patients.

Abstract
Development and validation of a bioanalytical method for biosimilar biological product development (BPD) can be challenging. It requires the development of a bioanalytical method that reliably and accurately measures both proposed biosimilar and reference products in a biological matrix. This survey summarizes the current state of bioanalysis in BPD. Bioanalytical data from 28 biosimilar biologic license applications submitted to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) up to December 2018 were analyzed. The aim of the analysis was to provide (i) a summary of the bioanalytical landscape for BPD, (ii) a cumulative review of bioanalytical method validation approaches to aid in understanding how a specific method was selected, and (iii) a summary of data regarding bioanalytical bias differences between products. Results show diversity of the bioanalytical approaches used, as well as the observed differences in bioanalytical bias. Our findings highlight the need for understanding the critical aspects of BPD bioanalysis and clarifying BPD bioanalytical best practices, which could help ensure consistent method validation approaches in the BPD community.

Abstract
Objective To develop a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of the content of 4-fluoromethamphetamine (4-FMA) in rat plasma, and to provide a methodological basis for the study of the toxicokinetics of 4-FMA in rats. Methods Rat plasma samples were added into internal standard methamphetamine (MA). Its proteins were precipitated with methanol and then separated with Poroshell 120 EC-C18 chromatographic column. A 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution and a 0.1% formic acid acetonitrile solution were used as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Electrospray ionization source was used for detection in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Results The linear relationship was good when the mass concentration of 4-FMA in plasma samples was in the range of 5-1 000 ng/mL (r>0.999). The limit of detection (LOD) was 3 ng/mL and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 5 ng/mL. The accuracy was expressed as relative error (RE), and in the range of ±5%, the intra-day precision and inter-day precision (relative standard deviation, RSD) less than 9%, and the extraction recovery rate was more than 90%. The analysis and detection of plasma samples were completed within 2.5 min. Conclusion This study developed a HPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of 4-FMA in rat plasma samples. This method is accurate, rapid, simple and sensitive and can be applied to the study of toxicokinetics of 4-FMA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nidogen-2 (NID2) is a ubiquitous component in the basement membrane and plays an important role in the development of malignant tumors. However, the specific function and mechanism of the NID2 gene in gastric cancer remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of NID2 in gastric cancer(GC). METHODS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of NID2 in 67 GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. The relationship between NID2 expression and clinicopathological features was further analyzed. In addition, we evaluated the expression of NID2 in GC based on data from the GEPIA and Kaplan-Meier Plotter database and compared the database results with our own experimental results. Invasion and wound healing assays were used to detect the function of NID2 in MKN45 and SGC7901 cells. Finally, the NID2 network and its possible related genes are constructed by the bioinformatics framework. RESULTS The expression level of NID2 was found to be significantly over-expressed in gastric cancer cells and tissues compared with normal controls and positively associated with TNM stage, showing a poor prognosis of GC patients. In vitro experiments indicated that NID2 was able to promote the ability of invasion and migration in GC cells. Bioinformatics prediction showed NID2 might regulate the progression of GC via protein digestion and absorption, amoebiasis, PI3K-AKt-signaling pathway, focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction pathways. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that up-regulated NID2 plays an important role in promoting the invasion and migration of GC cells and has a potential of being a novel biomarker for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of GC in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of combining relative alpha variability and electroencephalogram (EEG) reactivity to predict the prognosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) in adult patients. Methods: A total of 28 adult patients with HIE admitted to general intensive care unit at Xiangya Hospital in Central South University were enrolled in this observational study from January2016 to April 2017. These patients with body temperature over 35℃ after 72-hour admission could be continuously monitored at least 12 hours byEEG.At the same time,each patient was assessed for EEG reactivity.Then we analyzed the correlation between EEG reactivity, relative alpha variability and clinical prognosis. Results: EEG reactivity was elicited in 15/28 patients, among whom 12 patients had a good outcome. While in the other 13 patients, EEG reactivity was not elicited, among whom only 3 patients had a good outcome. As to the results ofrelative alpha variability,11/13 patients with degree 3-4were of good prognosis; while only 3/15 patients with degree 1-2 were of good prognosis. Glasgow coma scale(GCS), EEG reactivity, and relative alpha variability were correlated with clinical outcome(χ(2)=5.073,9.073,-3.626, respectively,all P<0.05). The sensitivity of GCS, EEG reactivity, and relative alpha variability to predict the poor prognosis were 69.2%, 76.9%, 84.6%, respectively. The specificity were 73.3%, 80.0%, 73.3%, respectively. The consistency rates were 71.4%, 78.6%, 78.6%, respectively. The positive predictive values were 69.2%, 76.9%, 73.3%, respectively. The negative predictive values were 73.3%, 80.0%, 84.6%, respectively. More importantly, the accuracy of the relative alpha variability combined with EEG reactivity for the prediction of poor prognosis was much higher with the positive predictive value of 90.0%,the specificity of 93.3%, the sensitivity of 69.2%, the consistency rate of 82.1%,and the negative predictive values of 77.8%. Conclusions: The combination of relative alpha variability and EEG reactivityis reliable to predict clinical outcome of patients with HIE.

Abstract
Objective: To predict the tumor neoantigen peptides in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and examine their specific immune effects against the tumor cells without injury to normal cells. Methods: The data of whole-genome sequencing and exome sequencing of HCC tumor and matched non-tumor liver tissues were analyzed to confirm the HCC-associated somatic mutations. Based on the HLA phenotype of the patients, we used NetMHC software to predict the neoantigen epitopes with high binding affinity to their MHC-I molecules. The predicted peptides with mutation sites included were synthesized. GPL10687 platform was applied to examine the gene expression difference between tumor and normal tissues of the selected genes in GSE25097, one of the GEO databases. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-qPCR) and immunohistochemistry were used to confirm the expressions in tumors and normal tissues of the selected genes. By using the predicted peptides, we induced the generation of antigen-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and examined their specific effects against tumor cells. Results: The mutation frequency of TP53 (tumor protein p53) was 40%, and LAMA3 (Laminin Subunit Alpha 3) was 8% in the analyzed HCC tissues. In GSE25097 database, TP53 and LAMA3 mRNA levels in tumors were 1.57±0.02 and 1.37±0.10, which were significantly increased than those in matched no-tumor tissue (0.54±0.01 and 0.36±0.01, P<0.05). The differences of expression levels of TP53 and LAMA3 in tumor and no-tumor tissues were validated by using qRT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry in 10 HCC tissues. The mRNA levels of TP53 and LAMA3 in tumors were 0.24±0.03 and 0.13±0.06, which were significantly elevated than those in matched no-tumor tissue (0.11±0.01 and 0.01±0.01, P<0.05). Among the Chinese population, HLA-A2 and HLA-A11 and HLA-A24 accounted for 70%, representing the major MHC-I molecules. The CTLs induced by predicted peptides showed cytotoxicity to the targets pulsed with mutated peptide, with no effect on the target pulsed with normal peptide and on normal cells. Conclusions: TP53 and LAMA3 existed relative higher mutation frequency in HCC, and expressed higher in tumor tissues. The induced CTLs by predicted peptides derived from mutation-associated protein could specific kill the target cells without injury to normal cells.

Abstract
The current study investigated the effects of hydroxyselenomethionine (HMBSe), a novel organic selenium (Se) additive, on lactation performance, blood profiles, antioxidative status, and transfer efficiency of Se in early-lactation dairy cows. Sixty multiparous early-lactating dairy cows with similar days in milk (57 d; standard deviation = 9.9) and milk yield (36.5 kg/d; standard deviation = 1.42) were fed a basal diet containing 0.04 mg of Se/kg (dry matter basis). These cows were assigned to 1 of 4 groups following a randomized complete block design as follows: control (basal diet) or HMBSe addition (0.1, 0.3, or 0.5 mg of Se/kg of dry matter). The experiment lasted for 13 wk, with the first week as adaptation. The results showed that milk yields (raw, protein, and lactose) and feed efficiency were improved in a quadratic manner following increased dietary HMBSe addition, whereas energy-corrected milk, 4% fat-corrected milk, and total solid yields tended to be enhanced quadratically. In terms of whole-blood variables, red blood cell and white blood cell levels were increased quadratically, whereas hemoglobin concentration increased linearly with increased HMBSe addition. Plasma nonesterified fatty acid concentrations tended to increase linearly along with HMBSe addition. Plasma superoxide dismutase activity increased quadratically with increased HMBSe addition. The total antioxidant capacity in plasma tended to improve quadratically when cows were fed more HMBSe. Moreover, plasma malondialdehyde concentrations of dairy cows tended to decrease in a quadratic manner when dietary HMBSe increased. The Se concentrations in milk, plasma, and milk/plasma ratio increased linearly following increased HMBSe addition. In conclusion, HMBSe improved lactation performance, health status, and milk Se concentrations in early-lactating dairy cows.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to validate a method to prepare simulated small intestinal fluid (SSIF) for in vitro digestion in ducks. Experiment 1 compared the in vitro digestible energy (IVDE) of SSIF to endogenous small intestinal fluid (ESIF) on four feeds. The ESIF 1 or 2 obtained from two groups of jejunal cannulated ducks offered diet 1 (3,050 kcal/kg of ME and 19.95% of CP) or 2 (2,801 kcal/kg of ME and 14.90% of CP) was purified into raw enzyme power (REP) 1 or 2. SSIF 1 to 3 or 4 to 6 were prepared to mimic ESIF 1 or 2, respectively. The enzyme sources were REP 1 for SSIF 1 and 4, REP 2 for SSIF 2 and 5 or reagent enzymes for SSIF 3 and 6, respectively. The IVDE of each feed was determined with SSIF or ESIF. Experiment 2 was to validate whether REP 1 was more effective than only reagent enzymes to prepare SSIF. Ten feeds were determined with pepsin following SSIF 1 or 3 for IVDE 1 or 2, respectively. The accuracy of prediction model of true metabolizable energy (TME) from IVDE 1 or 2 was evaluated to validate the efficacy of SSIF. In experiment 1, higher activities of amylase, trypsin and chymotrypsin were observed in ESIF 1 than ESIF 2 (P < 0.05). The IVDE determined with SSIF 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 were more comparable to that of ESIF 1 or 2 than determinations with SSIF 3 or 6. In experiment 2, the mean IVDE 1 or 2 was 97.22% or 96.23% relative to TME, respectively, and both were highly correlated with TME (P < 0.01; R2 ≥ 0.98). However, the residual SD of TME prediction model with IVDE 1 was less than that generated with IVDE 2 (55 vs. 71 kcal/kg). In conclusion, the IVDE determined with in vitro digestion of pepsin following SSIF prepared with REP can predict accurately TME of feed for ducks.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze vaccination situation of oral live attenuated rotavirus vaccine (LLR strain) among children from six provinces in China. Methods: In 2014, we selected 12 counties in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang and Gansu provinces by using stratified cluster random sampling method and extract information of children born from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2012 from Children's Immunization Information System. We investigated ten children of each birth cohort in each county by checking the vaccination certification, and a total of 606 children were investigated. A survey was conducted to check the information of the children's vaccination certification with the data of Children's Immunization Information System by questionnaire including the basic information (province, county, name, gender, birth date, etc) and the rotavirus vaccination (vaccination date, dose, etc) to analyze the rotavirus vaccination situation. Results: 340 of 606 children were male. There were 121, 124, 122, 119 and 120 children born in 2008-2012, respectively. The proportions of the first and the second dose of rotavirus vaccination were 32.8% (199) and 9.7% (59). The proportion of the third dose of rotavirus vaccination among children born between 2008 and 2010 was 3.5% (13) since children born in 2011 and 2012 did not reach the age of third dose vaccination. The proportion of the first dose of rotavirus vaccination in high, middle and low per capita disposable income areas was 45.0% (91), 37.7% (77) and 15.5% (31) respectively (χ(2)= 43.15, P<0.001). Among 199 children vaccinated with the first dose of vaccine, the vaccination age mainly concentrated in 2 to 21 months, of which the peak was 5 to 13 months (66.8%, 133). The intervals between 2 doses of vaccination were mainly from 12 to 13 months (42.4%, 25) among the 59 children who received at least 2 doses of vaccine. In the 13 children vaccinated with 3 doses, the intervals between the second and the third dose were 12 months (5). Of the 271 doses of rotavirus vaccine vaccinated during 2008-2014, 34.7% (94 doses) were vaccinated in June-August, 88 were vaccinated simultaneously with 18 other vaccines, accounting for 32.5% of the total. Of the 18 other vaccines, inactivated vaccines such as diphtheria vaccine (30 doses), Hib vaccine (14 doses), group A meningitis vaccine (10 doses) were predominant. Conclusion: The proportion of rotavirus vaccination was low and the vaccination age was relatively late. The vaccination mode was different from the recommendation of WHO. It is recommended that routine immunization of rotavirus vaccines should be carried out in early-months of children.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility and therapeutic effect of single-staged Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with septoplasty in adults with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. Methods: Ninety six cases with OSAHS were diagnosed by polysomnography, and they all had retropalatal obstruction and deviation of nasal septum. Patients were divided into study group(48 cases) and control group(48 cases) randomly. Cases in study group were simultaneously treated with Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and septoplasty, while cases in control group were only treated with Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. U saturation skill and coblation-assisted were applied in Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. And nasal septum suture technique was applied in septoplasty. The observation index included the intranasal changes with acoustic rhinometry, the prevalence of common postoperation complications and curative effects after six months follow-up period. SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: In study group the overall response rate was 83.33%(40/48), while in control group the overall response rate was 62.50%(30/48). There was statistical significance of response rate between test group and control group(χ(2)=5.275, P<0.05). There was no statistical significance on complication rate between study group and control group(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance on preoperative measurement data(P>0.05). Conclusion: For OSAHS patients with obstructive level at retropalatal plane and nasal plane, Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty combined with septoplasty in one stage is safe and effective.

Abstract
Escherichia coli is a cause of subclinical and clinical mastitis in dairy cattle and goats, and sometimes causes severe clinical disease that may result in death of the animal. Previous investigation showed that ginsenoside Rg1 extracted from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Araliaceae) has an anti-inflammatory effect on the sepsis induced by E. coli lipopolysaccharide via competitive binding to toll-like receptor 4. We hypothesized that intravenous injection of Rg1 had therapeutic effect on mastitis experimentally induced by intramammary infusion of lipopolysaccharide in lactating goats. In this study, 9 lactating goats were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 groups: (1) lipopolysaccharide intramammary infusion + saline intravenous injection, (2) lipopolysaccharide intramammary infusion + Rg1 intravenous injection, and (3) saline intramammary administration + saline intravenous injection. Because no adverse clinical signs were observed after intramammary infusion of saline and intravenous injection of Rg1 in a preliminary experiment, and available qualified goats were limited in this study, this treatment was not included in this study. One udder half of each goat received intramammary infusion of lipopolysaccharide (50 μg/kg of body weight; groups 1 and 2) or saline solution (group 3), and the other half was infused with 2 mL of saline solution at h 0. Afterward, intravenous injections of saline solution (groups 1 and 3) or Rg1 (2.5 mg/kg of body weight; group 2) were administered at h 2 and 4 post-lipopolysaccharide challenge. Blood and milk samples were collected 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 48, and 72 h post-lipopolysaccharide challenge, and clinical signs were monitored hourly after lipopolysaccharide challenge within the first 10 h and at the same time points as blood samples. The results showed that Rg1 treatment downregulated rectal temperature, udder skin temperature, udder girth, milk somatic cell count, and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase and upregulated milk production, lactose, and recovered blood components, such as white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, total proteins, albumin, and globulin. Considering the positive therapeutic effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced mastitis in goats presented in this study as well as the anti-inflammatory activity found previously, the botanical Rg1 deserves further study as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of E. coli mastitis in dairy animals.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical features, etiological features and prognostic risk factors of long-term glucocorticoid users with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods: A retrospective study included 100 long-term glucocorticoid users with CAP (G-CAP group) from 11 hospitals of China between January 2014 and December 2014, while 100 non-immunocompromised patients with community-acquired pneumonia were enrolled as controls (nICH-CAP group). Characteristics including age, gender, underlying diseases, corticosteroids, symptoms, disease severity, imaging manifestations, etiology, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, whether the application of vasoactive drugs, antibiotics application, hospital mortality rate between the two groups were compared, and the prognostic factors of G-CAP were investigated using Logistic regression. Results: The peripheral blood lymphocytes[1.06(0.70, 1.68) vs 1.44 (0.87, 1.98)]in G-CAP group was less than nICH-CAP group (P<0.05). CT with pulmonary interstitial change (28.6% vs 9.9%), the proportion of patients with respiratory failure (25.0% vs 7.0%), mechanical ventilation (9.0% vs 2.0%), noninvasive mechanical ventilation (12.0% vs 2.0%), septic shock (9.0% vs 2.0%), and the hospital mortality rate (13.0% vs 3.0%) in G-CAP group were significantly higher than in nICH-CAP group (all P<0.05). Bacterial infection accounted for the highest proportion of infection (61.3%) in G-CAP group, but also virus infection (19.4%) and mixed infection (16.1%). Pseudomonas accounted for the highest proportion (47.4%) in bacterial infection of G-CAP. Logistic regression analysis showed that peripheral blood lymphocytes (OR=0.004, 95% CI: 0.000-0.234; P<0.05) and respiratory failure (OR=17.766, 95% CI: 4.933-131.0; P<0.05) were independent predictors of death in G-CAP group. Conclusions: The proportion of severe pneumonia and the mortality rate of patients with G-CAP are higher than the patients with nICH-CAP. Lymphopenia and respiratory failure are associated with poor outcome of patients with G-CAP.

Abstract
Antiviral drugs on influenza are important in the control program of influenza. Options for influenza treatment are currently limited to using the neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs). Given limited effectiveness of NAIs and related resistance, there remains an urgent need for the development of influenza antiviral drugs that can improve the efficacy and provide low propensity of viral resistance. Several influenza-related antiviral drugs that are currently under the late-stage clinical trials all appear differently in the mechanism of action. It is hoped that when new antiviral drugs are licensed, care and outcomes of severe influenza cases will be improved.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the cortical bone characteristics in the medial column of proximal humerus. Methods: A total of one hundred and three healthy adults who underwent shoulder computed tomography scanning in Tianjing Hospital were included in this study.The subjects were divided into three groups according to the age: group A (20-39 years), group B (40-59 years), and group C (>60 years). Cortical bone mapping (CBM) was used to analyze ordinary clinical CT scans using Stradwin 5.2 software.Colors thickness maps were created for each proximal humerus.The region of interest (ROI) 1-6 were set at three levels of the lateral and medial column of proximal humerus.Cortical thickness (CTh), cortical mass surface density (CMSD), and endocortical trabecular bone mineral density (ECTD) were assessed in the three slices in proximal metaphysis.The impact of age, gender to the cortical bone indices of medial column of proximal humerus were investigated with relative analysis.Cortical indices of the lateral and medial column were compared with independent samples t test. Results: In ROI 2 and 3, men had higher cortical bone values than women, and significant differences in ECTD and CMSD were found in ROI 2, 3 and ROI 2 (t=2.100, 2.238, 2.530, all P<0.05). The lineal regression analysis showed that all cortical indices in ROI 1-3 decreased significantly with age for both women and men (r(2)=0.042-0.248, all P<0.05). In group A-C, the medial columns had higher CTh and CMSD values than lateral sides in plane 1, although significant differences were found only in group A (t=3.696, 3.749, both P<0.05). The highest CTh, CMSD and ECTD of the medial compact bone was detected in ROI 1, followed by ROI 2 and 3 in group A (F=5.867, 6.776, 19.062, all P<0.05). The medial columns had approximately equivalent cortica indices values in ROI 1-3 in group B and C. Conclusion: It indicated that significant regional variation in all cortical parameters exists in the medial column of proximal humerus, and the indices are influenced by gender and age.

Abstract
An ordinary-mode polarized multi-channel correlation reflectometer has been developed on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). The system with four different probing frequencies (i.e., 20.4 GHz, 24.8 GHz, 33 GHz, and 40 GHz) and two poloidally spaced receiving antennas can realize both the radial correlation measurement and the poloidal correlation measurement. These diagnostics focus on the measurement of density fluctuation in the pedestal region to investigate the turbulence transport and H-mode physics on EAST. In this article, the system hardware design, the key component tests, and the system performance are shown in detail.

Abstract
Objective: To report the use of implantable diaphragm pacer (IDP) in a patient with high cervical spinal cord injury(HCSCI). Methods: A 14-year-old male patient, who suffered from a HCSCI at C2 neurological level and had been on a ventilator for 2 years, received IDP in August 2017 at China Rehabilitation Research Center. A systematic literature review was performed on IDP in patients with HCSCI in Pubmed, CNKI, and Wanfang databases, using the keywords: phrenic nerve and electrical stimulation and spinal cord injury; IDP and spinal cord injury; breathing pacemaker system and spinal cord injury. All fields were covered from 1970/01/01 to 2018/01/01 in Pubmed, from 1981/01/01 to 2018/01/01 in CNKI, and from 1900/01/01to 2018/01/01 in Wanfang. Results: No spontaneous breathing was observed preoperatively in the patient. The electrical response of phrenic nerves was intact on the right, but unresponsive on the left. We got started with the IDP at 4 weeks after surgery. The threshold voltage of the right hemidiaphragm pacing was 0.1 V and at the level of 0.7 V with an optimal effect. No significant diaphragmatic contraction was found at left side with the extent up till 0.7 V. The maximum tidal volume was 840 ml when electrical stimulation was given at an intensity of 0.7 V bilaterally. The bilateral stimulation voltage at 0.1-0.2 V, pacing frequencies at 9 beats/min in bed, or at 12 beats/min on wheelchair, were set to maintain the tidal volume at the level of (435±32) ml. After 2-week adaptive training, the patient could wean from the ventilator for 12 hours and had a normal blood gas analysis. At 6 week after surgery, with the aid of IDP, the patient could get out in wheelchair for outdoor activities. By literature review, we found 78 English papers, including 6 clinical trials, 10 reviews, and 11 Chinese papers, consisting of 8 reviews, 1 study in animal, and 2 news reports. Extensive contents, such as preoperative evaluation, preoperative preparation, surgical procedures, complications, surgical outcomes, and animal model studies of IDP were involved. The indications of IDP reported by literature were: (1) central alveolar hypoventilation; (2) Sleep apnea syndrome (Biot's respiration); (3) Respiratory failure induced by brainstem injury or disease; (4) Respiratory failure induced by spinal cord injury or disease above C3 level. Conclusion: Our case study confirmed the therapeutic effect of IDP on patients with respiratory failure caused by HCSCI.

Abstract
Asymmetric implosion of inertial confinement fusion capsules is known, both experimentally and computationally, to reduce thermonuclear performance. This work shows that low-mode asymmetries degrade performance as a result of a decrease in the hydrodynamic disassembly time of the hot-spot core, which scales with the minimum dimension of the hot spot. The asymmetric shape of a hot spot results in decreased temperatures and areal densities and allows more alpha particles to escape, relative to an ideal spherical implosion, thus reducing alpha-energy deposition in the hot spot. Here, we extend previous ignition theory to include the hot-spot shape and quantify the effects of implosion asymmetry on both the ignition criterion and the capsule performance. The ignition criterion becomes more stringent with increasing deformation of the hot spot. The new theoretical results are validated by comparison with existing experimental data obtained at the National Ignition Facility. The shape effects on thermonuclear performance are relatively more noticeable for capsules having self-heating and high yields. The degradation of thermonuclear burn can be as high as 45% for shots with a yield lower than 2×10^{15} and less than 30% for shots with a higher yield.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of neuroglobin on oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) induced autophagy in a human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). Methods: SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with plasmids (or vector) to establish a stable cell line of NGB overexpression (OE). After treated with OGD/R, cells were collected for the analyses of mRNA (Atg5, Atg7, BECN1 and FUNDC1) and protein levels of LC3. Furthermore, mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions were isolated for protein levels of PINK1 and Parkin. Results: Treatment of OGD/R significantly increased the levels of mRNA of Atg5, Atg7, BECN1 and FUNDC1 (peak levels were 4.90±0.71, 6.72±0.75, 2.71±0.39 and 3.96±0.78 fold, all P<0.05). The protein level of Parkin increased in mitochondria and decreased in cytoplasm after the treatment. Compared with the vector group, Ngb OE group showed a significant higher level of FUNDC1 mRNA (3.96±0.78 versus 6.86±0.63 fold, P<0.05), while Atg5, Atg7 and BECN1 mRNA levels showed no significant difference. Moreover, the mitochondrial or cytosolic protein levels of PINK1 or Parkin showed no significant difference between Ngb OE and vector group. Conclusions: Overexpression of Ngb can not affect autophagy or mitohpagy in OGD/R treated SH-SY5Y cells. Overexpression of Ngb can increase the mRNA level of FUNDC1 and the mechanism needs further study.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the feasibility, perioperative complications and early outcomes of minimally invasive small incision in direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty in lateral decubitus position. Methods: From January 2015 to January 2017, 212 patients (228 hips) received minimally invasive small incision (approximately 8 cm in length) direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty in modified lateral decubitus position and approach. Sixteen cases underwent bilateral hip arthroplasty separately. All procedures were performed by the same surgeon in the Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China, Anhui Provincial Hospital. Twenty-eight patients (28 hips) were set as the complicated case group. The rest 184 patients (200 hips) had no previous hip surgeries, severe deformity and limited motion of the hip, were set as the standard group, and were divided into the first 100 cases group and the second 100 cases group in sequence. The difference between the standard group and complicated case group were analyzed. Also we compared the difference between the first 100 cases and the second 100 cases. Perioperative complications, postoperative function and radiological evaluation were recorded and statistically analyzed. The t test was applied to compare the data between groups. Results: All the patients were followed-up for 13 to 25 months[(18±5) months]. Intraoperative complications and postoperative complications happened in 9 and 34 patients respectively. The anterior dislocation occurred in 2 cases. The standard group showed significant superior outcomes when compared with complicated case group in the surgical time[(42±19) vs (67±16) min, t=-2.628, P=0.027], blood loss[(222±94) vs (579±120) ml, t=-8.371, P=0.000], postoperative Harris hip score[90±5 vs 83±7, t=2.390, P=0.024]and the rate of surgical complication (15.0% vs 46.4%, χ(2)=15.854, P=0.000). The complication rate tended to decrease in the second 100 cases when compared with that in the first 100 cases (11.0% vs 19.0%, χ(2)=3.922, P=0.037). Meanwhile, the second 100 cases showed significant excellent outcomes when compared with the first 100 cases in the mean surgical time[(34±15) vs (48±10) min, t=4.217, P=0.002]and blood loss[(182±52) vs (254±40) ml, t=2.889, P=0.018]. Conclusions: It suggests that there is a learning curve with the minimally invasive small incision direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty in lateral decubitus position. The risk of intraoperative femoral fractures is slightly high, especially for cases with osteoporosis, stiffness and limited range of movement. Surgeons in early learning curve period should grasp the surgical indications and master the technical points.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expressions of migration and invasion inhibitory protein (MIIP) and p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) and their correlation with clinicopathological features. Methods: The protein levels of MIIP and PAK1 in 135 paraffin-embedded EC tissues, 55 atypical hyperplasia of endometrium (AHE) and 88 normal endometrium (NE) tissues were quantified by immunohistochemistry, the clincial significance and the relationship of these two proteins were also analyzed. Results: The positive rates of MIIP expression in NE, AHE and EC tissues were 52.3%(46/88), 41.8% (23/55) and 34.8% (47/135), respectively. The expression of MIIP in EC was significantly lower than that of MIIP in NE (P<0.05). The positive rates of PAK1 expression in NE, AHE and EC tissues were 45.5% (40/88), 50.9% (28/55) and 62.2% (84/135), respectively. The expression of PAK1 in EC tissues was significantly higher than that of PAK1 in NE tissues (P<0.05). The expression of MIIP in EC tissues was significantly associated with myometrial invasion, International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The expression of PAK1 in EC tissues was significantly related with differentiation, myometrial invasion, FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The expressions of MIIP and PAK1 in EC tissues were marginally related with the overall survival of patients (P=0.092, P=0.052). The expression of MIIP in EC was negatively correlated with PAK1 (r=-0.329, P<0.001). Conclusions: The down-regulation of MIIP and up-regualtion of PAK1 paticipate in the initiation and development of EC, which are correlated with the poor prognosis of EC. The protein expression of MIIP is inversely related with PAK1 in EC.
