Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly-(ADP-Ribose)-Polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) were reported as radiosensitizers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with wide-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), but the effects of radiation combined with PARPi were not investigated in EGFR-mutated NSCLC. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms were not well examined. This study aimed to study the efficacy of radiation combined with niraparib in EGFR-mutated NSCLC and explore their influence on the immune system. METHODS Clone formation and apoptosis assay were conducted to explore the effects of niraparib and radiation. Immunofluorescence was conducted to detect the double-strand DNA breaks. Real-time PCR and immunoblotting were employed to evaluate the activation of STING/TBK1/TRF3 pathway and the expression levels of interferon β, CCL5 and CXCL10. Immunocompetent mice model bearing with subcutaneous Lewis lung cancer was established to confirm the results in vivo. RESULTS Niraparib and radiation were synergistic to inhibit tumor both in vitro and in vivo. Radiation plus niraparib could activate anti-tumor immunity, which appeared as increased CD8+ T lymphocytes and activated STING/TBK1/IRF3 pathway. CONCLUSION PARPi not only as a radiosensitizer inhibited EGFR-mutated NSCLC tumor growth, but also cooperated with radiation to promote anti-tumor immune responses.

Abstract
The mining of weak correlation information between two data matrices with high complexity is a very challenging task. A new method named principal component analysis-based multiconfidence ellipse analysis (PCA/MCEA) was proposed in this study, which first applied a confidence ellipse to describe the difference and correlation of such information among different categories of objects/samples on the basis of PCA operation of a single targeted data. This helps to find the number of objects contained in the overlapping and nonoverlapping areas of ellipses obtained from PCA runs. Then, a quantitative evaluation index of correlation between data matrices was defined by comparing the PCA results of more than one data matrix. The similarity and difference between data matrices was further quantified through comprehensively analyzing the outcomes. Complicated data of tobacco agriculture were used as an example to illustrate the strategy of the proposed method, which includes rich features of climate, altitude, and chemical compositions of tobacco leaves. The number of objects of these data reached 171,516 with 14, 4, and 5 descriptors of climate, altitude, and chemicals, respectively. On the basis of the new method, the complex but weak relationship between these independent and dependent variables were interestingly studied. Three widely used but conventional methods were applied for comparison in this work. The results showed the power of the new method to discover the weak correlation between complicated data.

Abstract
Due to progressive population aging, a new dementia case occurs at every 3 seconds, placing a heavy burden of disease. Identifying potential risk or preventive factors is emphasized owing to a lack of effective treatment for dementia. There has been emerging evidence on the link of certain dietary components, particularly polyphenols, to brain wellness and cognitive outcomes. Findings from animal and in vitro studies appear more consistent and conclusive. However, such an association has not been investigated in depth in human beings. In this review, we examined studies on the effect of dietary polyphenols (including flavonoids, curcumin, and resveratrol) on cognitive function. Intervention in early stages of dementia/Alzheimer's disease might be a target to slow down age-related cognitive decline before disease onset. We summarized 28 epidemiological studies (8 cross-sectional and 20 cohort studies) and 55 trials in this review. Preliminary evidence from epidemiological data provides the necessity for intervention trials, even though the measures of polyphenol intake tend to be less precise. Clinical trials are in favor of the role of some polyphenols in benefiting specific domains of cognition. This review also describes the divergence of results and current limitations of research in this field.

Abstract
In metabolomics study, it is not easy to extract the metabolites from data of ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry, especially for those with low abundance. Different software for peak recognition and matching use different algorithms, leading to different extract results. Therefore, integration of results from different software can obtain richer metabolome information, but the redundant features should be removed. In this study, an integrated strategy of fusing features and removing redundancy based on graph density (FRRGD) was proposed. A graph is used to cover the ion features generated by two open access software (XCMS, MZmine 2) and a software (SIEVE) from an instrument vendor, and redundant features were removed by searching the maximal complete sub-graphs. A standard mixture containing 41 metabolites and a spontaneous urine were utilized to develop the method and demonstrate its usefulness. For the standard mixture, 19, 19 and 27 metabolites were extracted by XCMS, MZmine 2 and SIEVE, respectively. After fusion by FRRGD, 37 metabolites were obtained. For the diluted spontaneous urine sample, 1103, 1500 and 387 metabolites were extracted by XCMS, MZmine 2 and SIEVE, respectively, FRRGD produced 1619 metabolites which were much more than individual software, significantly increasing metabolome coverage. The proposed FRRGD shows a great prospect as a new data processing strategy for metabolomics study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical outcome after in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is diverse in infertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to develop a nomogram based on an association of patients' characteristics to predict the live birth rate in PCOS patients. METHODS All women in a public university hospital who attempted to conceive by IVF/ICSI for PCOS infertility from January 2014 to October 2018 were included. The nomogram was built from a training cohort of 178 consecutive patients and tested on an independent validation cohort of 81 patients. PCOS was confirmed in all participants. RESULTS Three variates significantly associated with live birth rate of PCOS patients were BMI, total serum cholesterol (TC) and basal FSH. This predictive model built on the basis of BMI, TC, basal FSH, type of embryo transferred and age showed good calibration and discriminatory abilities, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.708 (95% CI 0.632-0.785) for the training cohort. The nomogram showed satisfactory goodness-of-fit and discrimination abilities in the independent validation cohort, with an AUC of 0.686 (95% CI 0.556-0.815). CONCLUSION Our simple evidence-based nomogram presents graphically risk factors and prognostic models for IVF/ICSI outcomes in patients with PCOS, which can offer useful guidance to clinicians and patients for individual adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Untargeted methods are typically used in the detection and discovery of small organic compounds in metabolomics research, and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) is one of the most commonly used platforms for untargeted metabolomics. Although they are non-biased and have high coverage, untargeted approaches suffer from unsatisfying repeatability and a requirement for complex data processing. Targeted metabolomics based on triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (TQMS) could be a complementary tool because of its high sensitivity, high specificity and excellent quantification ability. However, it is usually applicable to known compounds: compounds whose identities are known and/or are expected to be present in the analyzed samples. Pseudotargeted metabolomics merges the advantages of untargeted and targeted metabolomics and can act as an alternative to the untargeted method. Here, we describe a detailed protocol of pseudotargeted metabolomics using UHPLC-TQMS. An in-depth, untargeted metabolomics experiment involving multiple UHPLC-HRMS runs with MS at different collision energies (both positive and negative) is performed using a mixture obtained using small amounts of the analyzed samples. XCMS, CAMERA and Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM)-Ion Pair Finder are used to find and annotate peaks and choose transitions that will be used to analyze the real samples. A set of internal standards is used to correct for variations in retention time. High coverage and high-performance quantitative analysis can be realized. The entire protocol takes ~5 d to complete and enables the simultaneously semiquantitative analysis of 800-1,300 metabolites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate whether circ-VANGL1 can promote the progression of osteoporosis (OP) by absorbing miRNA-217 to regulate RUNX2 expression. PATIENTS AND METHODS The serum levels of circ-VANGL1, miRNA-217 and RUNX2 in OP patients and non-OP patients were detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Their expression levels in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) at different time points of osteogenesis differentiation were determined as well. The expression levels of RUNX2 and osteogenic proteins (BSP, OCN, OPN) in hBMSCs were detected by Western blot. Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the relationship among circ-VANGL1, miRNA-217 and RUNX2. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was conducted to evaluate the degree of osteogenic differentiation influenced by circ-VANGL1 and miRNA-217. RESULTS OP patients presented a higher serum level of miRNA-217 and lower serum levels of circ-VANGL1 and RUNX2 relative to non-OP patients. Circ-VANGL1 accelerated osteogenic differentiation by absorbing miRNA-217 to regulate RUNX2 expression. Moreover, miRNA-217 inhibited osteogenic differentiation by degrading RUNX2 by targeting to RUNX2 3'UTR. The overexpression of circ-VANGL1 upregulated expressions of RUNX2, BSP, OCN, and OPN. Meanwhile, ALP activity increased in hBMSCs overexpressing circ-VANGL1. However, co-overexpression of circ-VANGL1 and miRNA-217 did not alter RUNX2 expression. ALP activity in hBMSCs co-overexpressing circ-VANGL1 and miRNA-217 slightly increased, but had no difference with controls. CONCLUSIONS Circ-VANGL1 promotes the development of OP via binding to miRNA-217 to downregulate RUNX2 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that pure transanal endoscopic surgery is safe and feasible in the treatment of rectal cancer. However, the role of pure transanal endoscopic colectomy in ascending colon cancer (ACC) treatment has not been evaluated. We report a case of transanal endoscopic surgery for ACC. METHODS A 35-year-old woman was treated for ACC, using a transanal endoscopic surgery device as the operation platform, and pure transanal endoscopic right hemicolectomy without transabdominal assistance was safely performed. An instrument suture, side-to-side, ileocolic anastomosis was performed. Operative time was 245 min and intraoperative blood loss was 60 ml. RESULTS The patient recovered well from the surgery. Compared with the traditional approach, this approach was less invasive and resulted in satisfactory outcomes and cosmesis (no scar). CONCLUSIONS Application of pure transanal endoscopic colectomy without abdominal assistance to ACC appears to be feasible and safe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between ADAMTS-13 gene polymorphisms and hypertension-induced atrial fibrillation (AF). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 200 hypertensive patients without AF (hypertension group) and 200 hypertensive patients with AF (AF group) treated in our hospital were enrolled. Then, peripheral blood was drawn from these subjects enrolled, and the genomic deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) were extracted for analysis of ADAMTS-13 gene polymorphism. Next, Reverse Transcription-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) was employed to determine the expression of ADAMTS-13 gene, and the correlations of ADAMTS-13 gene polymorphism with ADAMTS-13 gene expression and clinical indicators were analyzed. RESULTS Results revealed that there was a difference in the distribution of alleles of ADSMTS-13 rs3094374 (p=0.046) and rs34054981 (p=0.039) between AF group and hypertension group. The frequency of T allele of the locus rs3094374 and that of the locus rs34054981 in ADSMTS-13 gene was higher in AF group than that in hypertension group. The distribution of genotypes of ADSMTS-13 rs28503257 (p=0.047) and rs34054981 (p=0.013) in AF group were different from those in hypertension group, and AF group had lower frequency of GA genotype of ADAMTS-13 rs28503257 and higher frequency of CT genotype of ADAMTS-13 rs34054981 than hypertension group. Besides, a difference was found in the distribution of ADSMTS-13 rs3094374 between AF group and hypertension group in recessive model (p=0.043), and the frequency of TC + CC was higher in the recessive model. Moreover, the distribution of the haplotypes CAT (p=0.012) and CGT (p=0.031) in ADAMTS-13 gene showed a difference between AF group and hypertension group. The linkage disequilibrium of the loci rs3094374 and rs28503257 in ADAMTS-13 gene was relatively great (D'=0.293). In addition, the polymorphism of the locus rs34054981 in ADAMTS-13 gene had an association with ADAMTS-13 gene expression (p<0.05). The expression of ADAMTS-13 gene was lower in patients carrying genotype TT in AF group. Furthermore, the ADAMTS-13 rs3094374 polymorphism was related to international normalized ratio (INR) (p=0.034), and the ADAMTS-13 rs28503257 polymorphism was correlated with the levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (p=0.047) and D-dimer (p=0.033). CONCLUSIONS ADAMTS-13 gene polymorphism is correlated with the susceptibility and procession of hypertension-induced AF.

Abstract
We report constraints on the dark photon effective kinetic mixing parameter (κ) with data taken from two p-type point-contact germanium detectors of the CDEX-10 experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. The 90% confidence level upper limits on κ of solar dark photon from 205.4 kg-day exposure are derived, probing new parameter space with masses (m_{V}) from 10 to 300 eV/c^{2} in direct detection experiments. Considering dark photon as the cosmological dark matter, limits at 90% confidence level with m_{V} from 0.1 to 4.0 keV/c^{2} are set from 449.6 kg-day data, with a minimum of κ=1.3×10^{-15} at m_{V}=200 eV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We present results on light weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) searches with annual modulation (AM) analysis on data from a 1-kg mass p-type point-contact germanium detector of the CDEX-1B experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. Datasets with a total live time of 3.2 yr within a 4.2-yr span are analyzed with analysis threshold of 250 eVee. Limits on WIMP-nucleus (χ-N) spin-independent cross sections as function of WIMP mass (m_{χ}) at 90% confidence level (C.L.) are derived using the dark matter halo model. Within the context of the standard halo model, the 90% C.L. allowed regions implied by the DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT AM-based analysis are excluded at >99.99% and 98% C.L., respectively. These results correspond to the best sensitivity at m_{χ}<6 GeV/c^{2} among WIMP AM measurements to date.

Abstract
We report results on the searches of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with sub-GeV masses (m_{χ}) via WIMP-nucleus spin-independent scattering with Migdal effect incorporated. Analysis on time-integrated (TI) and annual modulation (AM) effects on CDEX-1B data are performed, with 737.1 kg day exposure and 160 eVee threshold for TI analysis, and 1107.5 kg day exposure and 250 eVee threshold for AM analysis. The sensitive windows in m_{χ} are expanded by an order of magnitude to lower DM masses with Migdal effect incorporated. New limits on σ_{χN}^{SI} at 90% confidence level are derived as 2×10^{-32}∼7×10^{-35} cm^{2} for TI analysis at m_{χ}∼50-180 MeV/c^{2}, and 3×10^{-32}∼9×10^{-38} cm^{2} for AM analysis at m_{χ}∼75 MeV/c^{2}-3.0 GeV/c^{2}.
