Abstract
Objective: To explore the influence of lateral patellofemoral joint degeneration on the treatment of anteromedial osteoarthritis of knee joint by Oxford medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Methods: The clinical data of 73 patients (73 knees) with knee osteoarthritis underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2016 to December 2017 were analysed respectively.There were 18 males and 55 females, aged (68.6±7.5) years(range: 53 to 89 years).The lateral patellofemoral joints of patients were evaluated by Ahlback grading system. Patients with Ahlback 0 andⅠ were in the non degenerative group (37 cases), and those with Ahlback Ⅱ and above were in the degenerative group (36 cases). Hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC) osteoarthritis index, as well as the condition of kneeling, sit to stand movement, up stair and down stair were recorded. The data before and after operation were compared by paired sample t test, and the data between groups were compared by independent sample t test. χ(2) test was used for counting data. Pearson correlation analysis was used to compare the correlation between ahlback score, HSS and WOMAC osteoarthritis index. Results: The follow-up time was (35.1±6.6) months (range: 25 to 47 months).The knee function of the patients improved significantly after operation.The HSS score increased from 57.7±11.8 preoperative to 81.8±7.8 postoperative (t=16.64, P=0.00) and WOMAC osteoarthritis index decreased from 48.9±13.4 preoperative to 15.6±8.8 postoperative (t=20.48, P=0.00). There was no statistical difference in the change of HSS between the degenerative group and the non-degenerative group before and after surgery(27.5±12.2 vs. 22.5±12.3, t=-1.65, P=0.10) as well as the change of WOMAC osteoarthritis index(31.8±14.0 vs. 36.4±13.7, t=-1.35, P=0.18), but the lateral patellofemoral joint degeneration was related to inability to complete squats (χ(2)=5.17, P=0.04) and sitting up (χ(2)=7.22, P=0.01). Conclusion: The degeneration of lateral patellofemoral joint has no effect on the early functional recovery of patients with anteromedial knee osteoarthritis after Oxford medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
To explore the outcome of placing a single Y-shaped tracheal self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) to treat emergent carinal stenosis combined with stenosis of the right main and intermediate bronchi.The clinical and imaging data of 10 patients (8 males, 2 females) with carinal stenosis combined with stenosis of the right main and intermediate bronchi were retrospectively analyzed. There were 4 patients with esophageal cancer and 6 patients with lung cancer. All patients underwent treatment with a single Y-shaped tracheal SEMS. The long branch was inserted into the right main and intermediate bronchi, while the short branch was inserted into the left main bronchus. A modified Borg scale score was used as the criterion for assessing dyspnea in patients before and after stenting.A total of 10 Y-shaped tracheal SEMSs were successfully placed in 10 patients without any procedure-related complications. Compared with the score before stent placement, the mean Borg score for dyspnea after stent placement decreased from 7.6 to 0.8 (P = .04). Chest computed tomography showed that the stenosis disappeared 3 to 5 days poststenting. During the follow-up period, the most common complications were tumor ingrowth (n = 5) and granulation tissue hyperplasia (n = 7). The mean survival time after tracheal stent placement was 103 ± 50 (23-172) days.The application of a single Y-shaped tracheal SEMS for emergent carinal stenosis combined with stenosis of the right main and intermediate bronchi can effectively relieve dyspnea through a simple operation.

Abstract
Background Thoracogastric airway fistula (TGAF) is a serious complication of
esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. We conducted a systematic review of the
appropriate therapeutic options for acquired TGAF. Methods We performed a literature search to identify relevant studies from PubMed,
EMBASE, and Web of Science using the search terms “gastric airway fistula”,
“gastrotracheal fistula”, “gastrobronchial fistula”, “tracheogastric
fistula”, “bronchogastric fistula”, “esophageal cancer”, and
“esophagectomy”. Result Twenty-four studies (89 patients) were selected for analysis. Cough was the
main clinical presentation of TGAF. The main bronchus was the most common
place for fistulas (53/89), and 29 fistulas occurred in the trachea. Almost
73% (65/89) of patients underwent non-surgical treatment of whom 87.7%
(57/65) received initial fistula closure. Twenty-three patients underwent
surgery, including 19 (82.6%) with initial closure. The 1-, 2-, 3-, 6-, and
9-month survival rates in patients who underwent surgical repair were
95.65%, 95.65%, 82.61%, 72.73%, and 38.10%, respectively, and the equivalent
survival rates in patients with tracheal stent placement were 91.67%,
86.67%, 71.67%, 36.96%, and 13.33%, respectively. Conclusion TGAF should be suspected in patients with persistent cough, especially in a
recumbent position or associated with food intake. Individualized treatment
should be emphasized based on the general condition of each patient.

Abstract
Background Bifurcated self-expanding metallic stents have mainly been primarily used for the treatment of airway disease around the main carina, but few studies have reported the use of small bifurcated stents to treat malignant bronchial fistula or severe stenosis around the upper left carina. Purpose We aimed to determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of small metallic bifurcated stent placement in the upper left carina. Material and Methods Twenty-two patients with malignant bronchial disease were treated with small bifurcated stents. All bifurcated stents were custom-designed according to the measurement of CT measurements and placed under local anesthesia with fluoroscopic guidance. Clinical outcomes and CT imaging data were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 27 stents were used in 22 patients, with two stents removed immediately after placement due to stent insufficient dilation and failure of sealing fistula. Twenty patients underwent successful treatment, with a technical success of 90.9%. Thirteen complications were found in 9 (40.9%) patients. Five patients underwent successful stent removal due to failure of sealing fistula (n = 2) or because they were effectively cured (n = 3) during the follow-up period. Ten patients died of cancer, one patient died of chronic renal failure, and one died of myocardial infarction. The one-, three-, and five-year survival rates were 48.0%, 40.0%, and 32.0%, respectively. The median survival was 12.7 months. Conclusion Small bifurcated self-expanding metallic stents are a safe and effective treatment option for malignant bronchial fistula or severe stenosis around the upper left carina, but complications are relatively high. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate alternative treatment options.

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
AIM We report clinical outcomes of transarterial embolization in 19 cases of vaginal cancer. METHODS From August 2011 to October 2019, 19 patients with histologically diagnosed vaginal cancer were identified in our department. Transarterial chemotherapy and embolization was performed for all patients. Patient characteristics, treatment plans and the clinical outcomes, were recorded. RESULTS Among 19 identified cases, nine of them are squamous cell carcinoma, five of adenocarcinoma, one of adenosquamous carcinoma, two of vaginal malignant melanoma, one leiomyosarcoma and one of stromal sarcoma. Transarterial chemotherapy and embolization was successfully performed in all patients. No related complication was found after intervention treatment. Besides, eight patients received adjuvant chemotherapy, four received both adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy and seven received no therapies. Four patients were cured and seven were stable during follow-up. CONCLUSION Transarterial embolization appears safe and effective for vaginal cancer, with a currently acceptable prognosis.

Abstract
Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) have been widely used in the treatment of malignant central airway obstruction. However, few reports focus on the treatment of atelectasis and how to estimate the prior probability of success via SEMSs placement, This current study aimed to study the safety and effectiveness of SEMSs for the treatment of obstructive atelectasis, and the value of preoperative CT enhancement for ventilation of atelectasis via SEMSs placement. A total of 35 patients with obstructive atelectasis (29 male and 6 female) was included from February 2012 to March 2018. The procedures were performed under fluoroscopic guidance, and bronchoscopic laser resection was performed for severe restenosis cases after SEMSs placement. Clinical and functional pulmonary data were recorded before and 3 months after the procedure. Follow-up involved clinical data and radiographic techniques at 48 h and at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals. Thirty-eight SEMSs were successfully implanted in 34 patients, included 29 Y type tracheal stents, 4 small y stents, and 5 straight airway stents. After stenting, 26 cases showed full ventilation, and 3 cases were partially ventilated. The technical success and clinical success was 97.1% and 82.9%, respectively. A higher maximum enhancement CT value was found in patients with full ventilation. Mean follow-up time was 18.8 ± 4.0 months. Eight cases showed restenosis and received endoscopic laser resection, included 1 case underwent removal and 3 cases received second stenting. There were 2 cases of perioperative non-operative death, and 11 cases of post-discharge death (2 cardiac deaths and 9 malignant tumors). The survival rates of 3 months, 1 year and 2 years were 78.6%, 58.5% and 58.5%, respectively. In conclusion, SEMSs placement is safe and effective for obstructive atelectasis, and the preoperative CT enhancement played an important role in estimating the prior probability of success in the treatment of atelectasis via SEMSs placement.

Abstract
PURPOSE A radioactive feeding tube was used to achieve both nutrition and brachytherapy for the treatment for malignant esophageal obstruction. We report the safety and effectiveness of this technique. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 16 consecutive patients who employed this technique from January 2015 to March 2018. The radioactive feeding tube was made by binding the 125I seed chain on the feeding tube. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the tube was inserted into the obstructed esophagus, with the seed chain crossing over the segment of malignant esophageal obstruction. Technical success rate, dysphagia score, procedure time and complications were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the survival time. RESULTS The radioactive feeding tube was easy to prepare. The technical success rate was 100%, without serious complications such as bleeding or infection. The median procedure time of tube insertion was 44.0 min. The Kamofsky score and Neuhaus dysphagia grading were significantly improved after tube insertion (p < 0.01). On esophageal radiography, the contrast agent passed through the narrow area smoothly. Complete remission (n = 1) and partial remission (n = 13) of local tumor were obtained in 14 patients, and the local tumor control rate was 87.5% (14/16). During follow-up, four patients survived with no obvious clinical symptom and 10 patients died of cancer. The median survival was 12.0 months. CONCLUSION Preparation of the radioactive feeding tube is simple and easy. The insertion of this kind of tube achieves parenteral nutrition and brachytherapy simultaneously and is safe and effective in dysphagia palliation of malignant esophageal stricture. The radiological-radiotherapeutic procedure could be an alternative tool in the case of refusing other treatments by the patients.

Abstract
Growth and fatness traits are complex and economically important traits in the pig industry. The molecular basis underlying porcine growth and fatness traits remains largely unknown. To uncover genetic loci and candidate genes for these traits, we explored the GeneSeek GGP Porcine 80K SNP chip to perform a GWAS for seven growth and fatness traits in 365 individuals from the Sujiang pig, a recently developed breed in China. We identified two, 17, one and 11 SNPs surpassing the suggestively significant threshold (P < 1.86 × 10-5 ) for body weight, chest circumference, chest width and backfat thickness respectively. Of these SNPs, 20 represent novel genetic loci, and five and four SNPs were respectively associated with chest circumference and backfat thickness at a genome-wide significant threshold (P < 9.31 × 10-7 ). Eight SNPs had a pleiotropic effect on both chest circumference and backfat thickness. The most remarkable locus resided in a region between 72.95 and 76.27 Mb on pig chromosome 4, harboring a number of previously reported quantitative trait loci related to backfat deposition. In addition to two reported genes (PLAG1 and TAS2R38), we identified four genes including GABRB3, ZNF106, XKR4 and MGAM as novel candidates for body weight and backfat thickness at the mapped loci. Our findings provide insights into the genetic architecture of porcine growth and fatness traits and potential markers for selective breeding of Chinese Sujiang pigs.

Abstract
To study the safety and efficacy of fluoroscopic removal of self-expandable metallic stent for airway stenosis.We conducted a retrospective analysis of 67 consecutive patients, 39 male and 28 female, who underwent fluoroscopic stent removal from March 2011 to April 2017. The patients ranged in age from 12 to 85 years. Seventy-six airway stents were implanted, 70 covered stents and 6 bare stents, including 9 stents for second stent implantation after removal. All patients underwent chest computed tomography scans with/without bronchoscopy before stent removal. The indication of stent removal and postinterventional complications were analyzed retrospectively.Seventy-four of 76 airway stents were successfully removed, only 2 stent showed retained struts after removal, for a technical success rate of 97.4%. Two patients died of complications (1 hemorrhage and 1 respiratory failure), resulting in a clinical success rate of 94.7%. Five stents showed strut fracture and the remaining 71 stents were removed in 1 piece. Indications for stent removal include planned removal (n = 40), excessive granulation tissue (n = 15), intolerance of stenting (n = 6), inadequate expansion and deformation (n = 5), stent migration (n = 5), replacement of bare stent (n = 4), and strut fracture (n = 1). There were 17 complications of stent removal: death from massive bleeding (n = 1), restenosis requires stenting (n = 9), strut fracture or residue (n = 5), dyspnea requires mechanical ventilation (n = 2). The survival rates were 83.8%, 82.1%, and 82.1% for 0.5, 3, and 6 years.Fluoroscopic removal of airway stent is technically feasible and effective. Stents are recommended for removal within 3 months for treating airway stenosis.

Abstract
AIM To qualitatively and quantitatively compare gadobutrol with gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) in abdominal contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) during one-stop imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective, blinded, multicentre, intra-individual comparison study was approved by the institutional review board. All patients underwent gadobutrol- and Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRA and MRI. Qualitative analysis for vessels was performed using a three-point scale while quantity analysis was performed by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Visceral organs enhancements were also analysed. A Wilcoxon matched-pair signed-rank test was used to evaluate the quality and quantity results. RESULTS One hundred and twelve patients were enrolled. Quality analyses results for large vessels and small vessels of gadobutrol and Gd-DTPA were 18.38±1.51 and 6.76±1.58 and 17.87±1.84 and 6.09±1.55, respectively. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests revealed gadobutrol was significantly superior to Gd-DTPA (p=0.036) for small vessels. For large vessel quantity analysis, gadobutrol demonstrated significantly higher signal-to-noise ratios (SNR; p=0.041) than Gd-DTPA, with mean values of 948.156±349.731 and 838.925±248.197. There was no statistically significant in enhancement of liver, spleen, and renal tissue during gadobutrol- and Gd-DTPA-enhanced imaging (p>0.05). One patient reported an adverse event. Dizziness and vomiting occurred after injection of Gd-DTPA. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrates gadobutrol-enhanced MRA was superior to that of Gd-DTPA without statistical significance in visceral organ enhancement. It indicates gadobutrol may be more suitable for abdominal one-stop imaging for CE-MRA and CE-MRI by improving depiction of vessels in MRA images.

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
Background Intermediate bronchial fistula formation caused by mediastinal drainage tube compression and fungal infection is rare. Case presentation A 50-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes was observed air filling in mediastinal drainage tube, 12 days after esophagectomy for esophageal squamous carcinoma. Based on the results of computed tomography, bronchoscopy and pathology, the diagnosis of intermediate bronchial fistula caused by mediastinal drainage tube compression and fungal infection was made. Anti-fungal drug and temporary covered metallic stent was used. After stent removed, the fistula was healed with some granulation hyperplasia. He was free from respiratory symptom during 1 year follow-up. Conclusion Intermediate bronchial fistula caused by the combination of mediastinal drainage tube compression and fungal infection is rare. Timely stenting could boost the healing of fistula via granulation tissue proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have reported the placement of metallic Y-shaped covered stents (Y stents) for bronchopleural fistula around the upper carina. METHODS Eighteen patients were treated with Y stents insertion under the guidance of fluoroscopy. All covered stents were custom-designed and inserted to fit the upper carina anatomy. Clinical data and medical imaging data were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The stents were implanted successfully for the first time in 17 patients, and one patient needed a second attempt due to stent migration during withdrawal of the guide wires. In total, 19 small Y single-plugged stents were inserted in the upper carina and 5 large Y stents additionally in the main carina. Nineteen complications were observed in 14 patients, including 4 major complications. Stents were successfully removed in 12 patients due to complications or cure efficacy, for a median duration in place of 89.5 days. One patient lost follow-up. Nine patients were cured, and three had clinical improvement. One patient died of ventricular fibrillation the second day after the procedure and 4 patients died of tumors 7.8 to 91.7 months after stent placement. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 87.5, 80.8 and 80.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Metallic Y stent placement is technically feasible, effective and safe for bronchopleural fistula disease around the upper carina.

Abstract
Objective:To evaluate the influence of voice disorders on children's quality of life through the parental version of pediatric voice-related quality of life(pVRQOL). Method:Three hundred and eighty-six children from August 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled in this study. A total of 214 parents of children had voice disorders(dysphonic group), and 172 parents of children were without voice disorders(control group). Both groups were filled out the questionnaire containing the parental version of pVRQOL. Result:① The most common disease in children with voice disorder was vocal fold nodule, and boys were more susceptible to voice disorder than girls(71.5%, 28.5%); ②In dysphonic group, the scores of total(91.40±8.63, 97.94±4.23), physiology and function(87.55±10.98, 96.99±6.10), social emotion(98.86 ±3.29, 99.73±1.08) were lower than those in control group(P<0.01); ③In dysphonic group, there was a correlation between the parents' overall evaluation of the children's voice quality and the three dimensions of the parental version of pVRQOL(total: r=-0.398, P<0.01, physical function: r=-0.448, P<0.01, social-emotion: r=-0.125, P<0.05). Conclusion:Voice disorders could cause a negative impact on children's voice related quality of life. pVRQOL could be applied to assess the voice-related quality of life in children with voice disorders.

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}.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs that are demonstrated to be potent regulators in the development of various types of human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the present study, the level of circRNA-HIPK3 were measured by Taq-man based quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis in both NSCLC patient specimens and cells, which showed that circRNA-HIPK3 was upregulated in both NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), migration and flow-cytometry assays indicated that circRNA-HIPK3 participated in the regulation of the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of NSCLC cells. MiR-193a expression was increased by circHIPK3 silencing. We then showed that miR-149 interacts with FOXM1 by binding to the 3'-untranslated region (UTR). Further, ectopic overexpression of miR-149 by transfecting miR-149 mimics significantly inhibited growth, migration and invasion of HSCLCs, which was found to be mediated through FOXM1. Moreover, miR-149 overexpression decreases the viability and proliferation of HSCLCs. Therefore, our data suggest that circHIPK3 regulates the function of NSCLCs through miR-149-mediated FOXM1 expression regulation, potentially providing a novel insight into the pathogenesis of NSCLC.

Abstract
This Letter reports the first extraction of individual antineutrino spectra from ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu fission and an improved measurement of the prompt energy spectrum of reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay. The analysis uses 3.5×10^{6} inverse beta-decay candidates in four near antineutrino detectors in 1958 days. The individual antineutrino spectra of the two dominant isotopes, ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu, are extracted using the evolution of the prompt spectrum as a function of the isotope fission fractions. In the energy window of 4-6 MeV, a 7% (9%) excess of events is observed for the ^{235}U (^{239}Pu) spectrum compared with the normalized Huber-Mueller model prediction. The significance of discrepancy is 4.0σ for ^{235}U spectral shape compared with the Huber-Mueller model prediction. The shape of the measured inverse beta-decay prompt energy spectrum disagrees with the prediction of the Huber-Mueller model at 5.3σ. In the energy range of 4-6 MeV, a maximal local discrepancy of 6.3σ is observed.

Abstract
Body conformation at birth and teat number are economically important traits in the pig industry, as these traits are usually explored to evaluate the growth and reproductive potential of piglets. To detect genetic loci and candidate genes for these traits, we performed a GWAS on 269 pigs from a recently developed Chinese breed (Sushan) using 38 128 informative SNPs on the Affymetrix Porcine SNP 55K Array. In total, we detected one genome-wide significant (P = 1.31e-6) SNP for teat number on chromosome X and 15 chromosome-wide significant SNPs for teat number, body weight, body length, chest circumference and cannon circumference at birth on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18. The most significant SNP had an additive effect of 0.74 × total teat number, explaining 20% of phenotypic variance. Five significant SNPs resided in the previously reported quantitative trait loci for these traits and seven significant SNPs had a pleiotropic effect on multiple traits. Intriguingly, 12 of the genes nearest to the significant SNPs are functionally related to body conformation and teat number traits, including SPRED2, MKX, TMSB4X and ESR1. GO analysis revealed that candidate genes proximal to the significant SNPs were enriched in the G-protein coupled receptor and steroid hormone-mediated signaling pathway. Our findings shed light on the genetic basis of the measured traits and provide molecular markers especially for the genetic improvement of teat number in Sushan and related pigs.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the epidemiologic characteristics of fall in the elderly in Shanghai, as well as the differences between urban and rural areas, and provide evidence for targeted fall prevention and intervention. Methods: From January to March in 2017, a questionnaire survey was conducted in the elderly aged 60 or above selected from 7 urban communities and 6 rural communities in Shanghai to understand the epidemiologic characteristics of fall in the elderly and analyze the gender and urban-rural differences. Results: In urban area, a total of 3 386 elderly people were surveyed, in whom 441 (13.0%) had fall and 261 (7.7%) were injured after fall. In rural area, a total of 2 826 elderly people were surveyed, in whom 320 (11.3%) had fall and 169 (6.0%) were injured after fall. Fall risk in women were higher than that in men in both urban and rural areas with OR of 1.62 (95%CI: 1.42-1.86) and 1.16 (95%CI: 1.38-1.98) respectively, but the differences of fall related injury were not significant. Compared with urban areas, fall risk and fall related injury risk were both lower in rural areas with OR of 0.86 (95%CI: 0.73-0.99) and 0.74 (95%CI: 0.56-0.99). Compared with urban areas, men had lower risk for fall, and women had lower risk for fall related injury with OR of 0.68 (95%CI: 0.51-0.90) and 0.66 (95%CI: 0.47-0.93) respectively. Fall mainly occurred at home. Fall in urban area more frequently occurred on stairs, and fall in rural area more frequently occurred during farming. More than 60% of the falls had environmental risk factors. Slippery ground and uneven ground were main reasons. The incidence of fracture resulted from fall was high indicated by 89 fracture cases in urban areas (28.2%) and 64 fracture cases in rural areas (36.1%). Conclusions: The risk for fall in Shanghai had gender and urban-rural differences. Targeted intervention should be conducted according to the characteristics of fall in the elderly.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the voice function change in patients who underwent total thyroidectomy between preoperative and the third day postoperative, Taking the result data to explore methods for voice protection and be valuable for clinical diagnose and treatment. Method:Three hundred and fifth-three patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma without preoperative vocal dysfunction were treated with total thyroidectomy and single or bilateral central cervical lymph node dissection. At preoperative and the third day postoperative, videostroboscopic, acoustic analysis, voice handicap index 10(VHI-10)are measured. Result: At the third day postoperative, 294 (83.29%)patients have voice symptoms,the most common voice disorder is hoarseness in 105 cases (35.71%),phonasthenia in 78 cases(26.53%),unable speak louderly in 53 cases (18.03%), unable speak high-pitch in 24 cases (8.16%), unable speak low-pitch in 29 cases (9.86%), pronunciation leakage in 5 cases (1.70%). Videostroboscopic examinations are normal in all patients at the third day postoperative. The total score of VHI-10, Physiology(P), Emotion(E) dimensions in VHI-10 between preoperative and the third day postoperative are statistically significant (P<0.05). For male patients, the acoustic analysis (fundamental frequency, Harmonicto Noise Ratio, Shimmer and Maximum phonation time) are statistically significant between preoperative and the third day postoperative (P<0.05). For female patients, acoustic analysis (fundamental frequency, Harmonicto Noise Ratio, Shimmer, Jitter and Maximum phonation time) are statistically significant between preoperative and the third day postoperative (P<0.05). Conclusion:These patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with bilateral or unilateral central partment lymph node dissection may develop voice complications even their recurrent laryngealnerve be undamaged during the surgery. Changes in surgery and voice may cause changes in the patient's psychology, suggesting that clinicians need to have adequate communication between doctors and patients before surgery, pay attention to the patient's voice quality and psychological changes, and give positive intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of interventional radiology method for the management of esophagogastric anastomotic leakage. METHODS We retrospectively assessed the medical records of 23 consecutive patients with esophagogastric anastomotic leakage treated using intervention protocol. Patients received three-tube method (abscess drainage tube, gastrointestinal decompression tube and jejunal feeding tube) with or without temporary covered esophageal stent placement. Abscess drainage, anti-inflammatory treatment and nutritional support were performed thereafter. The esophageal stents and three tubes were removed after leakage healing. RESULTS All patient received three-tube method and eight patients received covered stent placement. All operations were technically successful. After a median of 2.4 months, the stents were successfully removed from five patients. No death, esophageal rupture or massive hemorrhage occurred during procedures. The abscess cavity had markedly decreased in seven patients or disappeared in 16 cases. During follow-up, four patients died of cancer recurrence, one died of heart dysfunction and one died of pulmonary infection. The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates were 86.4%, 52.3% and 52.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION Interventional radiology protocol is safe, feasible and efficacious for treatment for esophagogastric anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
Ten indigenous chicken breeds were originally distributed in Jiangxi Province, China, and they define a critical component of Chinese chicken genetic resources. We have investigated the population genetics of seven Jiangxi chicken breeds using 600K chicken BeadChip SNP data. To provide a genome-wide perspective for the population structure of all 10 Jiangxi chicken breeds, we herein genotyped 78 additional individuals from the seven breeds and 63 chickens from three uninvestigated breeds-Yugan Black (YG), Nancheng Black (NC) and Wanzai Yellow using 55K chicken SNP arrays. We then explored merged data of 17 101 SNPs from 235 individuals to infer the population structure of the 10 breeds. We showed that NC and YG are two regional populations of the same breed, as individuals from the two populations clustered together to form a branch separate from the other breeds in the neighbor-joining tree, they always grouped together in multidimensional principal component analyses and they displayed an identical pattern of ancestral lineage composition. Hence, NC and YG should be considered a single breed in the state-supported conservation scheme. Moreover, we conducted a genome scan for signatures of selection for black plumage. bayescan and hapflk analyses of two contrasting groups (three black-feathered breeds vs. six non-black-feathered breeds) consistently detected 25 putative regions under selection. Nine pigmentation- associated genes (DCT, SLC24A5, SLC30A4, MYO5A, CYP19A1, NADK2, SLC45A2, GNAQ and DCP2) reside within these regions, and these genes are interesting candidates for black plumage and provide a starting point for further identification of causative mutations for black feathers in chicken.

Abstract
In epidemiologic studies, patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are classified mainly by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. However, some patients are of an unclear subsite, the “gray zone” cases, which could reflect ICD coding error, absence of primary subsite, or extensive primary tumors that cross over multiple subsites of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Patients with gray zone squamous cell carcinomas were compared with patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and stratified by human papillomavirus (HPV) status that was determined by p16 immunostaining or HPV serology. Comparisons consisted of clinicodemographic features and prognostic outcomes presented by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression models, reported as hazard ratios. There were 158 consecutive patients with gray zone HNSCC diagnosed at the Princess Margaret Cancer Center between 2006 and 2017: 66 had subsite coding discrepancies against the clinician’s documentation (“discrepant” cases; e.g., the diagnosis by the clinician was OSCC, while the classification by ICD coding was OPSCC), while 92 were squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary of the head and neck (SCCUPHN) after complete diagnostic workup. Comparators included 721 consecutive OSCC and 938 OPSCC adult cases. All HPV-positive cohorts (OPSCC, discrepant, and SCCUPHN) had similar clinicodemographic characteristics and better 3- and 5-y overall survival and disease-free survival than their HPV-negative counterparts. In contrast, HPV-negative discrepant cases had prognostic outcomes most similar to HPV-negative OPSCC cases, while HPV-negative SCCUPHN had survival outcomes most similar to those of patients with OSCC in this study. HPV-positive status can improve the classification of patients with unclear or discrepant oral/oropharyngeal subsite, an improvement over classification systems that are solely clinician defined or conducted through ICD coding. However, due to clinical practice, we could not make definitive reclassification for patients with HPV-negative gray zone HNSCC.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety of population based sequential vaccination schedule of inactivated poliovirus vaccines prepared with different strains. Methods: This randomized, parallel-group controlled trial was conducted from March, 2017 to May, 2018, in Shanghai. Adverse reaction data of Sabin strain inactivated polio vaccine (sIPV), wild strains inactivated polio vaccines (wIPV) and bivalent types Ⅰ and Ⅲ oral poliomyelitis vaccine (bOPV) were systematically collected through active observation in 1 917 infants in Shanghai after the vaccination at 2, 3, 4 months old. The eligible infants aged 2 months were divided into 4 groups: ①sIPV+sIPV+bOPV group; ②sIPV+wIPV+bOPV group; ③wIPV+sIPV+bOPV group; ④wIPV+wIPV+bOPV group. Results: The incidence of adverse reaction 30 days later after 3 basic dose vaccinations was 16.79% (946/5 633). No serious adverse reaction was reported. Local and systemic reactions were mainly mild. Common local reactions were pain, erythema, cutaneous nodule, etc.; and common systemic reactions were abnormal crying, drowsiness, diarrhea and appetite lost, etc.. The incidence of local reactions 30 days later after 3 basic dose vaccinations was 1.65% (93/5 633), and the incidence rates of grade 1-3 reactions were1.26% (71/5 633), 0.21% (12/5 633) and 0.20% (11/5 633) respectively. The incidence rate of systemic reactions 30 days later after 3 basic vaccinations was 15.14% (853/5 633), and the incidence rates of grade 1-3 reactions were 11.33% (638/5 633), 3.18% (179/5 633) and 0.64% (36/5 633) respectively. There were no significant differences in the rate of grade 3 reaction among different groups (χ(2)=4.17, P=0.24). Conclusions: No severe adverse reactions related to sequential vaccination of different strain inactivated polio vaccines were observed, most of reactions were mild and all of them were cured. It is safe to use sIPV and wIPV simultaneously or alternately for childhood sequential vaccination.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the intervention effect of the school-based salt reduction model, 28 primary schools were selected in Shandong Province in September 2014 and randomly divided into intervention group (1 361 students, 1 306 parents) and control group (1 364 students,1 340 parents). A series of "small hands and big hands" salt reduction intervention activities were conducted in intervention group for 8 months. After the intervention, the total awareness rate of salt reduction knowledge, the total holding rate of related beliefs and the total reporting rate of related behaviors were 70.65%, 80.30% and 67.03% among students, and 85.66%, 93.77% and 87.93% among parents, in the intervention group, which were higher than those in the control group (37.12%, 66.52% and 50.07% among students; 55.11%, 87.52% and 57.96% among parents) (all P values <0.05). The school-based salt reduction model is effective and feasible.

Abstract
Exceptional points (EPs) are singularities that arise in non-Hermitian physics. Current research efforts focus only on systems supporting isolated EPs characterized by increased sensitivity to external perturbations, which makes them potential candidates for building next generation optical sensors. On the downside, this feature is also the Achilles heel of these devices: they are very sensitive to fabrication errors and experimental uncertainties. To overcome this problem, we introduce a new design concept for implementing photonic EPs that combine the robustness required for practical use together with their hallmark sensitivity. Particularly, our proposed structure exhibits a hypersurface of Jordan EPs embedded in a larger space, and having the following peculiar features: (1) A large class of undesired perturbations shift the operating point along the exceptional surface (ES), thus, leaving the system at another EP which explains the robustness; (2) Perturbations due to back reflection or backscattering force the operating point out of the ES, leading to enhanced sensitivity. Importantly, our proposed geometry is relatively easy to implement using standard photonics components and the design concept can be extended to other physical platforms such as microwave or acoustics.

Abstract
Background The conventional esophageal stent is not flexible enough for refractory or circuitous esophageal stenosis. After stent placement, the bending stress may stimulate tissue proliferation in both ends of the stent, causing restenosis, severe bleeding or fistula. A fully covered self-expandable segmental stent was designed and used to overcome such shortcoming. This study aims to study the safety and effectiveness of the fully covered self-expandable segmental metallic stents placement in palliation of dysphasia in patients with refractory esophageal stenosis. Methods Retrospective study of hospital records of a consecutive series of 24 patients who underwent placement of fully covered segmental stent from March 2015 to April 2018 was conducted. All procedure was performed under local anesthesia and fluoroscopic guidance. Esophagography was performed by orally take of iodine contrast agent. A 5F catheter and a stiff guide wire were introduced in the esophagus. A fully covered segmental stent was delivered and implanted along the stiff guide wire. The upper endoscopy and chest computed tomography scan were used for the assessment of the location and length of stenosis on admission and during follow-up. The technical success and complications were collected and analyzed. Results Stent placement was successful in all patients without procedure-related deaths. Twenty-four covered segmental stents were implanted. A total of eight major complications (33.3%) were found, and stent migration was the most common complication (16.7%). The median follow-up time was 4.5 months (interquartile range: 0.8-14.0 months). Adjustment was required in 3 patients (12.5%) due to stent migration. The mean dysphagia score before stenting and end of follow-up was 3.3±0.5 and 1.0±1.6 (P<0.0001). Four covered segmental stents were removed due to stent migration or intolerance. Conclusions Stenting using novel fully covered self-expandable segmental metallic stent is safe and effective in dysphagia palliation of refractory esophageal stenosis.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has indicated that intimal hyperplasia is a common event in the pathophysiology of many vascular diseases including atherosclerosis (AS). Recently, deregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be associated with the pathophysiology of AS. However, the biological function and regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs in intimal hyperplasia in AS remain largely unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of miRNAs on intimal hyperplasia and reveal the underlying mechanisms of their effects. Firstly, the model of rat vascular injury was successfully constructed in vivo. Then, the miRNAs expression profiles were analyzed by miRNA microarray. It was observed that miR-451 was significantly downregulated in injury carotid arteries. Subsequently, we investigated miR-451 function and found that upregulation of miR-451 by agomir-451 improves intimal thickening in rats following vascular injury. It was also observed that miR-451 was downregulated in the VSMCs following platelet-derived growth factor type BB (PDGF-BB) stimulation. The upregulation of miR-451 attenuated PDGF-BB-induced VSMCs injury, as evidenced by inhibition of proliferation, invasion and migration. Besides, overexpression of miR-451 blocked the activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway in PDGF-BB treated VSMCs, as demonstrated by the downregulation of phosphorylated (p-) p38. In addition, Ywhaz, a positive regulator of p38 MAPK signaling pathway, was found to be a direct target of miR-451 in the VSMCs and this was validated using a luciferase reporter assay. Overexpression of Ywhaz partially abolished the inhibitory effects of miR-451 overexpression on PDGF-BB induced VSMCs injury. Collectively, these findings indicated that miR-451 protected intimal hyperplasia and PDGF-BB-induced VSMCs injury by Ywhaz/p38 MAPK pathway, and miR-451 may be considered as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of AS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Global metabolomics analysis can provide substantial information on energy metabolism, physiology, possible diagnostic biomarkers and intervention strategies for pathogens. OBJECTIVE To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of syphilis and analysis of serum metabolite profiles in syphilis patients. METHODS We conducted an untargeted metabolomics analysis of serum from 20 syphilis patients and 20 healthy controls. RESULTS A total of 2890 molecular features were extracted from each sample, and the peak intensity of each feature was obtained. Distinct differential metabolites were identified by principal component analysis, partial least squares-discriminant analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis. Furthermore, five metabolites were identified as significantly different by Student's t-test, including trimethylamine N-oxide, l-arginine, lysoPC(18:0), betaine and acetylcarnitine. KEGG analysis showed that these differential metabolites were in various pathways, including Chagas disease, fatty acid biosynthesis, primary bile acid biosynthesis, Salmonella infection, ABC transporters, glycerophospholipid metabolism and choline metabolism. Among them, trimethylamine N-oxide was 3.922 times in patients with syphilis than healthy controls. CONCLUSION Trimethylamine N-oxide may be used as an indicator to distinguish between syphilis patients and healthy controls. The changes in these metabolites suggest that Treponema pallidum affects the normal metabolic activity of host cells, providing some clues for elucidating the pathogenesis of T. pallidum.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of ALK-positive Spitz tumors. Methods: Thirteen patients with ALK-positive Spitz tumors diagnosed at Shanghai Cancer Center, Fudan University from October 2016 to December 2017 were collected. All cases were routinely evaluated histopathological features in HE staining and detected ALK protein expression by immunohistochemistry. The ALK fusions of 7 cases were confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Follow-up data was collected. Results: The age of patients including 2 males and 11 females ranged from 4 to 47 years (mean 25 years). 12 patients were diagnosed with atypical Spitz tumors and 1 patient was diagnosed with Spitz nevus. Clinically, most lesions presented as papules or nodules, while a few lesions presented as plaques. Histologically, most tumors were exophytic (9/13). More than half of the tumors were amelanotic and the junctional component was mainly composed of melanocytic nests. Kamino bodies were not found. The bases of the tumors were mainly wedge-shaped (5/13) and flat (7/13). Eight tumors displayed mixed cell types, while 5 tumors were composed of only spindle cells. All the tumors showed a plexiform and/or intersecting fascicular growth pattern, and perineural extension was observed in 3 tumors. ALK immunohistochemistry showed diffuse and intense cytoplasmic staining in 13 cases, and 7 of them were detected by FISH to confirm the presence of ALK fusions. All patients were followed up for 7 to 21 months (median=12), with no recurrence or lymph node dissemination. Conclusions: Spitz tumors with ALK fusions have their special histopathologic features.ALK fusions mainly occur in Spitz nevi and atypical Spitz tumors. The follow-up data of the existing literatures and our research indicates that the prognosis of ALK-positive Spitz tumors may be good.

Abstract
Background The retrievable stent filter (RSF) has been previously used for the treatment of vena cava thrombosis. In this study, the RSF was implanted to treat aortic thrombosis and then withdrawn. Case presentation A 47-years-old woman presented with severe abdominal pain and fever. Computed tomography showed massive mural thrombosis in the thoracic and abdominal aorta complicated by portal venous thrombosis. The RSF was implanted, a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt was established and a thrombolytic catheter was inserted for portal vein thrombolysis. The aortic thrombus was successfully compressed and fixed without thrombosis. After 15 days, abdominal pain had ceased, the abdominal aortic thrombus was mostly dissolved and the RSF was retrieved. Catheter angiography confirmed the recovery of portal vein thrombosis. Conclusions The RSF was able to compress and fix aortic thrombus without the usual complications of stenting after removal.

Abstract
Objective: To access the influence of voice disorders on children's voice-related quality of life through the parental version of pediatric voice handicap index (pVHI). Methods: From April 2017 to March 2018, a total of 192 children with voice disorders (dysphonic group) and 111 children without voice disorders (control group) were enrolled in this work. Parents of children in both groups were asked for fill out the questionnaire containing the parental version of pVHI and the data of non-normal distribution were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Spearman test was used for correlation analysis. Results: (1)Vocal cord nodule was the most common voice disorder in children, and boys were more susceptible to voice disorder than girls in this study (70.3%(135/192) vs 29.7%(57/192)). (2)The most common voice abuse or misuse habit was "Shouting loudly". (3)In dysphonic group, the scores of function, physiology, emotion and total were higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). (4)In dysphonic group, there was a weak correlation between the parents' overall evaluation of the children's voice status and the three dimensions of the parental version of pVHI (function: r=0.339, physiology: r=0.334, emotion: r=0.208, all P<0.001). Conclusions: Voice disorders can cause a negative impact on children's quality of life. Parental version of pVHI can be used to assess the voice-related quality of life in children with voice disorders.

Abstract
To explore the potential clinical anti-tumor roles of Bacillus subtilis fmbJ-derived fengycin on cell growth and apoptosis in colon cancer HT29 cell line.Fengycin was extracted from Bacillus subtilis fmbJ and detected using HPLC. The effects of different concentration of fengycin on colon cell HT29 cell activity at different time points were analyzed using MTT assay. ROS level in colon HT29 cells affected by fengycin was detected using DCFH-DA method, followed by measuring the effects of fengycin on HT29 cell apoptosis and cell cycle by flow cytometry. The effects of fengycin on Bax/Bcl-2, CDK4/cyclin D1, Caspase-6 and Caspase-3 expressions in HT29 cells were analyzed using western blot. Also, mRNA levels of Bax/Bcl-2 and CDK4/cyclin D1 in HT29 cells affected by fengycin were analyzed using qRT-PCR.Compared with controlss, 20 μg/mL of fengycin performed an inhibit role on HT29 cell growth of at 3 day (P<0.05), and high dose of fengycin showed more excellent effect on inhibiting HT29 cell growth with time increasing. Besides, fengycin could induce HT29 cell apoptosis and affect the cell cycle arrest at G1. ROS level in HT29 cells treated by fengycin was significantly increased compared with that in control group (P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that after being treated with fengycin, Bax, Caspase-3, and Caspase-6 expressions were increased, however, Bcl-2, and CDK4/cyclin D1 expressions were decreased (P<0.05).Our study suggested that fengycin may play certain inhibit roles in the development and progression of colon cancer through involving in the cell apoptosis and cell cycle processes by targeting the Bax/Bcl-2 pathway.

Abstract
Purpose Deep venous thrombosis induced by iliac vein compression syndrome often interferes with patients’ work or daily living. This study aims to investigate the long-term outcome and quality of life in patients with iliac vein compression syndrome after endovascular treatment. Methods From October 2011 until June 2016, 28 patients with acute deep venous thrombosis diagnosed as iliac vein compression syndrome by ultrasonography were enrolled in this perspective study. Fifteen patients underwent balloon dilation and stent insertion (group A); 13 patients received anticoagulation treatment, thrombolysis, or balloon dilation without stenting (group B). The Medical Outcomes Study-Short Form-36 was used to assess the quality of life preoperatively and after endovascular treatment. The follow-up of Short Form-36 questionnaire was obtained within 12.13 ± 12.04 months after repair. Results There was no operative mortality in two groups, and technical success was achieved in 14 (93.3%) patients in group A. Thirteen (86.7%) patients were cured in group A, which was significantly higher than that of group B (46.2%, p = 0.042). Only one patient showed occlusion of stent in group A, with a secondary patency rate of 93.3%. Except for ‘Role emotion’, all remaining domains were significantly improved in group A when compared with preoperative score ( p < 0.01). The scores of ‘Physical functioning’, ‘Role physical’, and ‘General health’ in group A were significantly higher than those of group B ( p < 0.05). Conclusions Endovascular stenting to treat iliac vein compression syndrome shows beneficial clinical outcome, cumulative patency rate, and quality of life, with high technical success and low complications.

OBJECTIVE Animal studies suggest that S100A8/S100A9 may be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA); however, there has been no clinical study examining the associations between serum S100A8/S100A9 and knee symptoms, joint structures and cartilage degradation enzymes in knee OA patients so far. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the cross-sectional associations between serum levels of S100A8/S100A9 and the outcomes in patients with knee OA. DESIGN A total of 141 subjects with clinical knee OA were included. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score was used to assess joint symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to measure knee structural abnormalities including cartilage defects. Knee radiography was used to assess joint space narrowing (JSN), osteophytes and the radiographic severity of OA. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the serum levels of S100A8/S100A9, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, MMP10 and MMP13. RESULTS In multivariable analyses, serum S100A8/S100A9 were positively associated with total WOMAC score (β: 0.111 per 10 ng/ml, P = 0.021), WOMAC weight-bearing pain (β: 0.015 per 10 ng/ml, P = 0.043) and WOMAC physical dysfunction (β: 0.091 per 10 ng/ml, P = 0.010), and had positive associations with total cartilage defects and cartilage defects at lateral femoral, lateral tibial and medial femoral sites (ORs: 1.006-1.008 per 10 ng/ml, all P < 0.05) and serum levels of MMP3 (β: 0.002 per 10 ng/ml, P = 0.032) in patients with clinical knee OA. CONCLUSIONS Serum levels of S100A8/S100A9 were positively associated with increased knee symptoms, cartilage defects and serum cartilage degradation enzymes in patients with knee OA, suggesting that S100A8/S100A9 may have a role to play in knee OA. Future longitudinal studies are required to confirm these findings.
