Abstract
BACKGROUND A high sodium intake is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, little is known regarding whether greater salt intake is a potential risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We thus prospectively investigated whether individuals with higher perceived dietary salt intake had a higher risk of developing NAFLD. METHODS The present study included 35 023 participants (22 629 men and 12 394 women) from the Kailuan study who were free of NAFLD at baseline (2006) and who did not drink alcohol at baseline and during follow-up (2006-2014; follow-rate 95.2%). NAFLD was defined as a participant who had been diagnosed with fatty liver at least twice by ultrasound tests conducted every 2 years during follow-up. Dietary salt intake was determined by a self-report question and was classified into three categories: low (<6 g day-1 ), medium (6-9 g day-1 ) or high (≥10 g day-1 ). Cox proportional models were used to estimate the risk of NAFLD, adjusting for potential confounders, such as age, sex, education, physical activity, smoking, income, occupation, marriage, body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure, as well as serum concentrations of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, glucose, total cholesterol and triglyceride. RESULTS During 8 years of follow-up, we identified 5102 incident NAFLD cases. After adjusting for potential confounders, the hazard ratio (95% conference interval) for NAFLD was 1.12 (1.00, 1.26) for medium salt intake and 1.19 (1.02,1.39) for high salt consumption (P trend = 0.03) relative to the low salt consumption group. CONCLUSIONS A perceived high salt intake was associated with a higher future risk of NAFLD.

Abstract
1. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of yeast cell wall (YCW) on performance and physiological responses of broiler chickens under subclinical necrotic enteritis challenge.2. Six treatments in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement (non-challenged or challenged plus no supplement, YCW or antibiotics (AB)) was used. Each treatment was replicated eight times with 12 birds per replicate. The treatments included: (1) Positive control (PC; no additive, not challenged); (2) Negative control (NC; no additive, with challenge); (3) YCWN = yeast cell wall (2.0 g/kg diet, not challenged; (4) YCWC = yeast cell wall (2.0 g/kg diet, challenged); (5) ABN = zinc bacitracin 50 ppm + Salinomycin 60 ppm, not challenged); (6) ABC = zinc bacitracin 50 ppm + Salinomycin 60 ppm, challenged).3. Eimeria challenge at 9 d of age did not affect feed intake (FI), body weight gain (BWG), FCR or liveability at 10 d. The BWG and FCR at 10 d were greater (P < 0.05) in birds fed YCW or AB (AB) diets relative to the PC or NC groups. On 24 and 35 d, FI, BWG, FCR and flock uniformity (28 d) were greater (P < 0.05) in the challenged groups fed YCW or AB diets compared to NC group.4. Supplementation with YCW ameliorated the negative effects of NE on liver, spleen and bursa weight of birds.5. Necrotic enteritis challenge decreased (P < 0.05) caecal Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp. counts, and increased ileum lesion score and caecal Clostridium perfirngens counts. This was reversed by the addition of either YCW or AB.6. Supplementation with YCW and AB resulted to a greater (P < 0.05) dressing percentage and meat yield (35 d).7. The results indicated that YCW plays a vital role in improving the physiological response and performance of broiler chickens under subclinical necrotic enteritis challenge.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is now a common public health problem. Few researches have reported the relationship between MetS and the risk of renal cell cancer (RCC). To investigate the association of metabolic syndrome and its components with the risk of RCC in Chinese males, the study was performed in the Kailuan male cohort, a large prospective cohort study.
Methods
A total of 104,333 eligible males enrolled in the every 2-year health checkup were involved in the Kailuan male cohort study (2006-2015). Information on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, lifestyle, medical history and laboratory tests at baseline entry was obtained. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association between MetS and the RCC risk.
Results
During a median follow-up of 8.9 years, 131 RCC cases were verified over a total of 824,211.96 person-years. Among the 5 single MetS components, hypertension (Systolic/diastolic blood pressure≥130/85 mm Hg or antihypertensive drug treatment of previously hypertension) (HR = 2.35, 95%CI:1.48-3.72) and elevated triglyceride (TG) (≥1.7mmol/L) (HR = 1.78, 95%CI:1.23-2.56) showed significant risk for RCC. Multivariate analysis showed that compared to those who did not meet MetS diagnostic criteria (number of abnormal MetS components<3), HR of RCC risk for participants with MetS was 1.95 (95% CI 1.35-2.83). The number of abnormal MetS components was linearly associated with an increased risk of RCC (P trend<0.001), and the HRs of RCC risk for males with 1, 2 and ≥3 MetS components were 1.27 (0.56-2.90), 2.42 (1.12-5.20) and 3.32 (1.56-7.07), respectively, compared with subjects without MetS components.
Conclusions
MetS was inversely associated with of RCC risk in males.
Key messages
MetS might be one of the scientific and important predictors of RCC. Controlling metabolic syndrome may potentially have key scientific and clinical significance for RCC prevention.

Abstract
The annual bluegrass weevil Listronotus maculicollis requires chilling exposure to terminate reproductive diapause during overwintering, but the effects of temperature on its post-diapause development in spring remain unclear. To explore this effect, overwintering adults were transferred from cold conditions (6°C/4°C, L:D 10:14) to different warm-up temperatures at L:D 12:12. When weevils were transferred to 7, 14 and 21°C in December and late January, the sizes of male and female reproductive organs were significantly smaller at 7°C than at 14 and 21°C. When weevils were transferred to 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15°C in late January, higher temperatures facilitated the post-diapause development. In both sexes, the sizes of reproductive organs and developmental rate increased with temperature. Reproductive organs did not grow significantly at 7°C in males and at 7-9°C in females, at which the percentage of developing weevils remained low. The time required for 50% of individuals to resume development was 44, 18, 13 and 8 days at 9, 11, 13 and 15°C, respectively, in males and 19, 14 and 8 days at 11, 13 and 15°C, respectively, in females. The threshold temperature for post-diapause development was 7.8°C in males, based on which 61.7 degree-days coincided with 50% of individuals developing. Under field conditions, the percentage of male and female maturity and insemination rate were low until early March, but all reached 100% by late March.

Abstract
RESUMO O presente artigo é um relato sobre uma fêmea de D. novemcinctus que foi capturada de forma imprevista, durante um projeto de avaliação sanitária de animais silvestres sinantrópicos do município de Toledo/PR (autorização Sisbio/Ibama n. 55109-1). Durante a avaliação física, amostras de fezes foram coletadas após defecação espontânea e encaminhadas para análise. O material foi submetido aos métodos de flutuação simples em solução hipersaturada de cloreto de sódio e centrífugo-flutuação em sacarose. Na leitura das lâminas obtidas pelo método de centrífugo-flutuação em sacarose, foram observadas estruturas com comprimento de aproximadamente 10µm, forma bicônica e um tampão em cada extremidade, compatíveis com esporocistos de Monocystis sp. Protozoários do filo Apicomplexa, os Monocystis sp., são geralmente parasitas de anelídeos, como as minhocas. Esse organismo é comumente correlato a pseudoparasitismo em vários animais, porém não foram encontrados relatos de pseudoparasitismo desse agente em tatus-galinhas, logo essa é a primeira descrição de Monocystis sp. em espécime de D. novemcinctus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in diabetic atherosclerosis. High glucose (HG) is considered a stimulator in the development of diabetic atherosclerosis. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response is involved in HG-induced vascular injury. Crocin has antioxidative and antiapoptotic properties. OBJECTIVE The current study was to evaluate whether crocin can protect human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from HG-induced injury and explored the associated mechanism. METHODS HUVECs were treated with 33 mmol/L glucose as the HG condition. The endothelial protective effects of crocin were evaluated by comparison with the control groups. RESULTS The exposure of HUVECs to HG for 24 h remarkably induced the ER stress response and a sequence of injuries, as demonstrated an increase in the apoptotic cell number, the reactive oxygen species level and inflammatory cytokine generation, as well as a decline in vascular endothelial growth factor A expression. These changes were markedly alleviated by pretreating the HUVECs with either crocin or 4-phenylbutyrate (ER stress inhibitor) before exposure to HG. CONCLUSION Crocin exerted antioxidative, antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory and proangiogenic effects in the HG-induced HUVEC injury model, which were probably mediated by a favorable modification of ER stress that requires further investigation.

Abstract
The oral cavity contains a distinct habitat that supports diverse bacterial flora. Recent observations have provided additional evidence that sRNAs are key regulators of bacterial physiology and pathogenesis. These sRNAs have been divided into 5 functional groups: cis-encoded RNAs, trans-encoded RNAs, RNA regulators of protein activity, bacterial CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) RNAs, and a novel category of miRNA-size small RNAs (msRNAs). In this review, we discuss a critical group of key commensal and opportunistic oral pathogens. In general, supragingival bacterial sRNAs function synergistically to fine-tune the regulation of cellular processes and stress responses in adaptation to environmental changes. Particularly in the cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans, both the antisense vicR RNA and msRNA1657 can impede the metabolism of bacterial exopolysaccharides, prevent biofilm formation, and suppress its cariogenicity. In Enterococcus faecalis, selected sRNAs control the expression of proteins involved in diverse cellular processes and stress responses. In subgingival plaques, sRNAs from periodontal pathogens can function as novel bacterial signaling molecules that mediate bacterial-human interactions in periodontal homeostasis. In Porphyromonas gingivalis, the expression profiles of putative sRNA101 and sRNA42 were found to respond to hemin availability after hemin starvation. Regarding Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (previously Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans), a major periodontal pathogen associated with aggressive periodontitis, the predicted sRNAs interact with several virulence genes, including those encoding leukotoxin and cytolethal distending toxin. Furthermore, in clinical isolates, these associated RNAs could be explored not only as potential biomarkers for oral disease monitoring but also as alternative types of regulators for drug design. Thus, this emerging subspecialty of bacterial regulatory RNAs could reshape our understanding of bacterial gene regulation from their key roles of endogenous regulatory RNAs to their activities in pathologic processes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The conventional way of patient treatment should be following guidelines. While in clinical practice, patients received treatments very often away from suggested guideline. In this report, we reviewed glioma patients received real world treatment at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) and results of this patient series.
Methods: Total of 1215 glioma patients received surgery at SYSUCC from 2000 to 2017 were enclosed for analysis. The pathologic diagnosis of patients has followed WHO classification (initially 2007 standard, than 2016 standard).
Results: A total of 1001 newly diagnosed brain glioma patients were analyzed, including 90 cases WHO grade I, 307 grade II, 239 grade III and 365 grade IV. The median age of onset was 14 (1–75), 35 (2–69), 41 (8–82) and 50 (2–86) years old, respectively, for grade I, II, III and IV glioma patients. Tumor total resection was achieved in 567 patients (57.5%). Among all patients, 331 high-grade gliomas (54.8%) and 159 low-grade glioma (40.1%) received radiotherapy, whereas 285 high-grade gliomas (47.1%) and 80 low-grade tumors (20.2%) received chemotherapy. Among high-grade gliomas, the median OS of glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma and anaplastic oligodendroglial tumors were 17.7 months (15.7–19.7 months), 33.7 months (24.0–43.4 months) and 110.6 months (43.5–177.7 months), respectively, whereas the median OS of low-grade gliomas was not reach. The 5-year survival rate of grade I, II, III and IV gliomas was 94.7%, 73.7%, 45.1% and 18.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified that onset age, Karnofsky performance status, tumor location, preoperative seizure, pathological subtype, resection extent and post-surgical treatment were independent predictors of OS for patients with high-grade gliomas. Patients received post-surgical radiotherapy and (or) chemotherapy had better survival than those without adjuvant treatment (grade III: 53.3 vs. 20.6 months, p =0.012; grade IV: 22.9 vs. 12.3 months, p < 0.001). For low-grade gliomas, patients’ age, Ki-67 index, tumor subtype and resection extent were associated with clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: Glioma patients received treatments do not always following guidelines in clinical practice. Although standard care for patients may beneficial for prognosis, personalized treatment may more acceptable for patients and even resulting better outcome which should keep in mind in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-related inflammation is recognized as a driver for tumor progression and chemokines are important players in both inflammation and the progression of many cancer types. CXC chemokines, especially CXCL8, have been implicated in melanoma growth and metastasis, while less is known for their roles in drug resistance. METHODS We generated drug-resistant cells by continuous exposure to chemotherapeutic drugs and analyzed the mechanism(s) of therapy resistance in malignant melanoma. RESULTS We report chemotherapies induced upregulation of a variety of chemokines in the CXCR1/CXCR2 network by an NF-κB-dependent mechanism. Notably, analysis of the drug-resistant melanoma cell line selected after prolonged exposure to chemotherapeutic drug dacarbazine revealed higher levels of CXCL8 and CXCR2 compared with parent cells as a signature of drug resistance. CXCR2 neutralization markedly improved sensitivity to dacarbazine in melanoma cells. CONCLUSION These data provide insights into what drives melanoma cells to survive after chemotherapy treatment, thus pointing to strategies for developing combined drug therapies for combating the problem of chemotherapy resistance in melanoma.

Abstract
High-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been rapidly developed in recent years. To reduce the oscillation of the scanner, a single-tone sinusoidal wave is widely used as a scanning wave rather than a triangular wave in high-speed AFM. However, the sinusoidal wave is nonlinear, resulting in a nonconstant relative linear velocity between the sample and the tip while scanning in the x-direction. If a traditional proportional-integral controller is still used as a feedback controller in the z-direction, the control errors will be enormous. Therefore, the paper proposes a new adaptive velocity-dependent proportional-integral controller. The relationship between the proportional-integral parameters and the linear velocity is achieved by fitting the experimental results. The adaptive and traditional controllers are compared against each other in some examples. The experiments demonstrate that the adaptive controller decreases the control errors in the z-direction to a half, which provides more precise AFM images. LAY DESCRIPTION: Typically, the scanner follows a triangular waveform in fast axis (x-axis), and follows a very slow ramp signal in the slow axis (y-axis) of conventional AFM. This scanning mode can be called raster scan. However, the triangular waveform contains high-order Fourier harmonics, vibrating the scanner and distorting the image easily. In high-speed AFM, the effect of the high-order Fourier harmonics will be more severe. The above problems can be solved by replacing triangular waves with single-tone sinusoidal waveform. Therefore, the sinusoidal-raster scan and nonraster scan based on the sinusoidal waveform are widely used in high-speed atomic force microscopy. However, the nonlinearly scan path will cause a variable relative linear velocity between the sample and the tip. If a standard proportional-integral controller is still used as a feedback controller in Z direction, the control errors will be large, and this difference will be evident at high-speed scanning. Thus, the paper proposes a new adaptive velocity-dependent proportional-integral controller to solve this problem. Experiments show that the control errors obtained by using the adaptive controller is about a half of that without using it. These illustrate that the proposed method can improve the image quality of the AFM at both low and high scan speeds.

Abstract
InP-InAs-InP multi-shell nanowires (NWs) were grown in the wurtzite (WZ) or zincblende (ZB) crystal phase and their photoluminescence (PL) properties were investigated at low temperature (≈6 K) for different measurement geometries. PL emissions from the NWs were carefully studied in a wide energy range from 0.7 to 1.6 eV. The different features observed in the PL spectra for increasing energies are attributed to four distinct emitting domains of these nano-heterostructures: the InAs island (axially grown), the thin InAs capping shell (radially grown), the crystal-phase quantum disks arising from the coexistence of InP ZB and WZ segments in the same NW, and the InP portions of the NW. These results provide a useful frame for the rational implementation of InP-InAs-InP multi-shell NWs containing various quantum confined domains as polychromatic optically active components in nanodevices for quantum information and communication technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid atherosclerosis, especially rupture of plaques, is related to cerebrovascular diseases. Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is relevant to cerebrovascular diseases and may be a potential risk factor. We designed this study to investigate the association between non-HDL-C and the prevalence of asymptomatic vulnerable carotid atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS We enrolled 2888 participants who underwent carotid atherosclerotic plaque detection and non-HDL-C measurement, with no history of taking lipid-lowering agents, from the Asymptomatic Polyvascular Abnormalities in Community study. We used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the association between non-HDL-C levels and the presence of asymptomatic vulnerable carotid atherosclerotic plaques. RESULTS In our study, 1505 subjects had asymptomatic vulnerable carotid atherosclerotic plaques and 1383 subjects had stable plaques. After adjustment for confounding factors, the odds ratios for vulnerable plaques of non-HDL-C levels in the middle and highest tertile groups were 1.02 (95% confidence interval, 0.84-1.23) and 1.50 (95% confidence interval, 1.23-1.82), respectively (P trend < 0.01). CONCLUSION In our community-based observational and cross-sectional study, non-HDL-C level was a significant risk factor for the occurrence of asymptomatic vulnerable carotid plaques.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the early experience and clinical value of minimally invasive coronary surgery-total arterial coronary revascularization (MICS-TACR) through the left anterior small incision. Methods: Between May 2015 and June 2018, a total of 31 consecutive cases [21 males and 10 females, aged (63.2±9.3) years] in Peking University Third Hospital who were performed MICS-TACR with bilateral internal mammary artery and radial artery were enrolled. Meanwhile, 1 489 cases of conventional median sternal incision off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) were matched as control group. According to exclusion criteria and matching score, 90 cases [55 males and 35 females, aged (63.8±9.5) years] were selected as the control group, and the perioperative data of the two groups were compared. All patients in MICS-TACR group underwent postoperative angiography and the graft patency was evaluated. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups. The perioperative blood transfusion of MICS-TACR group was less than control group [0(0,0) U vs 0(0,4) U, P=0.003]. There were no statistically significant differences in operative mortality, intraoperative and postoperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use, re-operation rate, perioperative major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), new-onset renal failure, atrial fibrillation, and multiple organ failure between the two groups. Postoperative angiography showed that there was no significant difference in the patency rate between the MICS-TACR group and control group(all P>0.05). Conclusion: Total arterial coronary revascularization can be successfully accomplished under the left anterior small incision, and the early clinical outcome is satisfied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We conducted a single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects (AEs) of an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody, nimotuzumab, combined with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (PF) as first-line treatment in recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radical radiotherapy. METHODS Patients who met the eligibility criteria were recruited from ten institutions (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT01616849). A Simon optimal two-stage design was used to calculate the sample size. All patients received weekly nimotuzumab (200 mg) added to cisplatin (100 mg/m2 D1) and 5-fluorouracil (4 g/m2 continuous infusion D1-4) every 3-weekly for a maximum of six cycles. Primary end point was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary end points included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and AEs. RESULTS A total of 35 patients were enrolled (13 in stage 1 and 22 in stage 2). Overall ORR and DCR were 71.4% (25/35) and 85.7% (30/35), respectively. Median PFS and OS were 7.0 (95% CI 5.8-8.2) months and 16.3 (95% CI 11.4-21.3) months, respectively. Unplanned exploratory analyses suggest that patients who received ≥2400 mg nimotuzumab and ≥4 cycles of PF had superior ORR, PFS and OS than those who did not (88.9% versus 12.5%, P < 0.001; 7.4 versus 2.7 months, P = 0.081; 17.0 versus 8.0 months, P = 0.202). Favourable subgroups included patients with lung metastasis [HROS 0.324 (95% CI 0.146-0.717), P = 0.008] and disease-free interval of >12 months [HROS 0.307 (95% CI 0.131-0.724), P = 0.004], but no difference was observed for metastatic burden. The only major grade 3/4 AE was leukopenia (62.9%). CONCLUSION Combination nimotuzumab-PF chemotherapy demonstrates potential efficacy, and is well tolerated as first-line chemotherapy regimen in recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
The avian adeno-associated virus (AAAV) is a replication-defective nonpathogenic virus that has been proved to be useful as a viral vector in gene delivery. In this study, the feasibility of AAAV for transgenic expression of duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) VP3 structural protein and its ability to induce protective immunity in ducklings was assessed. The recombinant AAAV (rAAAV-VP3) expressing the VP3 protein was prepared by co-infection of Sf9 cells with recombinant baculovirus (rBac-VP3) containing VP3 gene flanked by inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of AAAV and the other two recombinant baculovirus expressing AAAV functional and structural genes, respectively. The generation of rAAAV-VP3 was demonstrated by electron microscopy, immunofluorescence assay, and western blot analysis. One day old ducklings were inoculated with rAAAV-VP3 or commercial attenuated vaccine and then challenged with DHAV-1 strain SH two weeks post vaccination. Anti-DHAV-1 antibodies were detected in all vaccinated groups by ELISA, and the titers between the rAAAV-VP3 group and the attenuated vaccine group were not statistically significant. Real time RT-PCR analysis showed that the virus copy numbers in the livers of the PBS control group were significantly higher than that of the rAAAV-VP3 and attenuated vaccine groups. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the VP3 expression mediated by rAAAV in ducklings could induce protective immunity against DHAV challenge, and this could be a candidate vaccine for the control of duck viral hepatitis. Keywords: avian adeno-associated virus; duck hepatitis A virus; VP3 gene; immunogenicity.

Abstract
Ancient DNA studies have always refreshed our understanding of the human past that cannot be tracked by modern DNA alone. Until recently, ancient mitochondrial genomic studies in East Asia were still very limited. Here, we retrieved the whole mitochondrial genome of an 8,400-year-old individual from Inner Mongolia, China. Phylogenetic analyses show that the individual belongs to a previously undescribed clade under haplogroup C5d that most probably originated in northern Asia and may have a very low frequency in extant populations that have not yet been sampled. We further characterized the demographic history of mitochondrial haplogroups C5 and C5d and found that C5 experienced a sharp increase in population size starting around 4,000 years before present, the time when intensive millet farming was developed by populations who are associated with the Lower Xiajiadian culture and was widely adopted in northern China. We caution that people related to haplogroup C5 may have added this farming technology to their original way of life and that the various forms of subsistence may have provided abundant food sources and further contributed to the increase in population size.

Abstract
The avian adeno-associated virus (AAAV) has been proved to be an efficient gene transfer vector for human gene therapy and vaccine research. In this experiment, an AAAV-based vaccine was evaluated for the development of a vaccine against duck hepatitis a virus type 1 (DHAV-1). The major capsid VP1 gene was amplified and subcloned into pFBGFP containing the inverted terminal repeats of AAAV, and then the recombinant baculovirus rBac-VP1 was generated. The recombinant AAAV expressing the VP1 protein (rAAAV-VP1) was produced by co-infecting Sf9 cells with rBac-VP1 and the other 2 baculoviruses containing AAAV functional genes and structural genes respectively, and confirmed by electron microscopy, Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the titer of rAAAV-VP1 was about 9 × 1012 VG/mL. Immunogenicity was studied in ducklings. One day ducklings were injected intramuscularly once with rAAAV-VP1. Serum from rAAAV-VP1-vaccinated ducklings showed a systemic immune response evidenced by VP1-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and virus neutralization test. Furthermore, all ducklings inoculated with rAAAV-VP1 were protected against DHAV-1 challenge. The data of quantitative real-time RT-PCR from livers of challenged ducklings also showed that the level of virus copies in rAAAV-VP1 group was significantly lower than that of the PBS group. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the AAAV-based vaccine is a potential vaccine candidate for the control of duck viral hepatitis.

Abstract
Giant magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) that shows a different response to incident wave with left or right-handed circular polarization under external magnetic field is promising for magneto-optical sensing, revealing symmetry and degeneracy information of electronic states. However, traditional methods and materials that are used to obtain significant MCD involve highly strong external magnetic field. Based on the excitation of subradiant plasmonic mode and Fano resonance in graphene oligomers in the mid-infrared region, we numerically demonstrate that MCD is enhanced three times larger than the previously reported method, based on the resonance of electric dipole plasmonic mode. This giant MCD is attributed to the remarkably different excitation efficiency of subdradiant plasmonic mode due to the interparticle coupling under left or right-handed circular polarization incidence and external magnetic field. Our results offer an effective mechanism to enhance MCD signal at the nanoscale, which facilitates the sensing, spintronic, nanophotonics and other such fields.

Abstract
In previous study, we reported that 14-kDa phosphohistidine phosphatase (PHP14) was associated with lung cancer cell migration and invasion. We also found that the expression of PHP14 was markedly increased in a part of human lung cancer tissues. In this study, we investigated the impact of PHP14 knockdown on lung cancer cell tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo, as well as the regulatory pathway. Depletion of endogenous PHP14 expression in lung cancer cells reduced colony formation activity of lung cancer cells in vitro and inhibited the xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Further experiments revealed that the NF-κB signal pathway inhibitor PDTC inhibited the upregulated expression of MMP9 induced by PHP14 overexpression in lung cancer cells. Furthermore, knockdown of PHP14 in lung cancer cells correlated with decreased expression of a subset of NF-κB-regulated genes, such as BCL-2, COX-2, MCP-1, MMP9 and VEGF-C, which play an important role in tumor progression. Together these data suggest that knockdown of PHP14 in lung cancer cells inhibits lung cancer tumor growth in vivo, possibly via regulating the NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cord blood units (CBUs) go through the cryopreservation-thawing process for storage before use in transplantation. The differences in the cryopreservation-thawing process affect the quality of CBUs. The effects of the cryopreservation-thawing process on the final outcomes of CBU transplantation has not been defined well. OBJECTIVE To study the impact of differences in the cryopreservation-thawing process on the quality of CBUs and the final clinical outcomes of transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The differences in cryopreservation-thawing conditions were analyzed to determine their effect on the quality and clinical outcomes of transplanted CBUs. CBUs were detected using the same reagents, instruments and methods for minimizing experimental errors. RESULTS The differences in the cryopreservation-thawing process did not change cell survival, TNCC recovery (CD34+ and CFUs), the implantation rates and recovery time of neutrophils/100-day platelets. CONCLUSION The present study shows that the differences in the cryopreservation-thawing conditions do not influence the quality and transplantation outcomes of CBUs.

Abstract
In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibrous membranes containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were successfully fabricated by the combination of electrospinning and a green reduction approach. Through the electrospinning technique, uniform and smooth nanofibres can be obtained, and the Ag NPs with a narrow size distributions are well dispersed in PVA nanofibres. The investigation indicates that the mass ratio of reductant tea polyphenols and AgNO3 play a crucial role in controlling the size of the Ag NPs. More importantly, multi-layered fabrics with a layer of PVA/Ag NP nanofibrous membrane layered onto cotton substrates were developed and applied to shoe insoles. The fabricated shoe insoles with functionalized PVA nanofibres exhibit remarkable antimicrobial activity against both E. coli and S. aureus (i.e. antibacterial rate > 99%). The creation of such an encouraging fabric could establish a new optimization methodology for producing nanoengineered functional textiles. This study aims to develop an antimicrobial insole with an electrospun nanofibre mat which contains green reduced Ag NPs by a facile fabrication method.![]()

Abstract
BACKGROUND Testosterone (T)/Nestorone (NES) combination gel is a potential transdermal male contraceptive that suppresses gonadotropins and spermatogenesis. Transfer of transdermal T from men to women can be prevented by washing or covering application sites with clothing. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that showering or wearing a shirt over gel application sites would prevent secondary exposure of T and NES to a woman after close skin contact. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve healthy male and 12 healthy female participants were recruited. Men applied T/NES 62 mg/8 mg gel to their shoulders and upper arms. Two hours after application, female partners rubbed the application site for 15 min. Exposure in the female partner was assessed under three conditions: a shirt covered the application site; the man showered prior to skin contact; or without intervention to reduce transfer. Serum T and NES concentrations were measured by LC-MS/MS in serial blood samples for 24 h after gel exposure. MAIN OUTCOMES Change in female serum T and NES levels as measured by average concentration over 24 h (Cavg ). RESULTS Median female serum T Cavg was 23.9 ng/dL (interquartile range, 19.3, 33.9) with the shirt barrier and 26.7 ng/dL (20.7, 33.9) after showering, which was higher than baseline 20.9 ng/dL (16.7, 25.0), both p < 0.03) but lower than without intervention (58.2 ng/dL [30.9, 89.1], both p < 0.01). Female serum NES Cavg and maximum concentration were below the lower limit of quantification with the shirt barrier and after showering, but increased without intervention in six of 12 women (maximum concentration <60 pg/mL). Men had lower average serum NES levels after showering (47 pg/ml [20, 94] compared to no intervention (153.3 pg/mL [51, 241], p < 0.02). CONCLUSION Secondary transfer of T and NES occurs after intensive skin contact with the gel application site. Secondary transfer is decreased by a shirt barrier or showering before contact.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hepatic encephalopathy is a common consequence of liver cirrhosis, but diagnosis can be difficult as it is based on clinical criteria alone. We hypothesised that serum prealbumin, cholinesterase and retinol binding protein (RBP) can help support the diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy. METHODS We enrolled 306 cirrhotic patients (110 with encephalopathy), 100 chronic hepatitis B patients and 50 healthy controls, measuring routine liver function tests (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, and bilirubin), albumin, prothrombin time, prealbumin, cholinesterase and RBP by routine methods. Logistic regression analysis and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) were used to find predictive factors for hepatic encephalopathy. RESULTS There were differences in all laboratory indices between the three groups (all p < 0.001). In univariate analysis, albumin, prothrombin time, prealbumin, cholinesterase and RBP were significantly altered in those with encephalopathy (p < 0.01), but only prealbumin, cholinesterase and RBP levels were significant predictors in multivariate analysis, and each was linked to the severity of liver fibrosis defined by the Child-Pugh score (all p < 0.001). The AUCs (95% CI) of prealbumin, cholinesterase and RBP for diagnosing liver cirrhosis with hepatic encephalopathy were comparable at 0.85 (81-90), 0.81 (0.76-0.85) and 0.81 (0.76-0.86), respectively (all p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Serum prealbumin, cholinesterase and RBP levels are of potential clinical value in diagnosis of liver cirrhosis complicated by encephalopathy.
