Abstract
Lipids are the primary form of energy storage and a major component of plasma membranes, which form the interface between the cell and the extracellular environment. Several lipids - including phosphoinositide, phosphatidic acid, sphingolipids, lysophospholipids, oxylipins, and free fatty acids - also serve as substrates for the generation of signalling molecules. Abiotic stresses, such as drought and temperature stress, are known to affect plant growth. In addition, abiotic stresses can activate certain lipid-dependent signalling pathways that control the expression of stress-responsive genes and contribute to plant stress adaptation. Many studies have focused either on the enzymatic production and metabolism of lipids, or on the mechanisms of abiotic stress response. However, there is little information regarding the roles of plant lipids in plant responses to abiotic stress. In this review, we describe the metabolism of plant lipids and discuss their involvement in plant responses to abiotic stress. As such, this review provides crucial background for further research on the interactions between plant lipids and abiotic stress.

Modified transcrestal sinus floor elevation with concomitant implant placement in edentulous posterior maxillae with residual bone height of 5 mm or less: a non-controlled prospective study. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 52:495-502. [PMID: 36058822 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2022.08.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe a modified transcrestal sinus floor elevation (mTSFE) technique and to evaluate its clinical effectiveness and reliability when residual bone height is severely reduced. Forty-three maxillary edentulous patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. All patients underwent the mTSFE technique; 66 dental implants were inserted simultaneously. Patient-reported outcomes were assessed 2 weeks after surgery. Prosthetic crowns were placed 6 months after surgery. Radiographic analyses and clinical analyses were conducted to assess the clinical effectiveness and feasibility of mTSFE during a follow-up period of 2-8 years. The mean vertical bone increase after surgery was 8.09 mm, and it decreased to 6.56 mm at 6 months after surgery. Two cases of membrane perforation occurred during surgery and one implant was lost in the third year after surgery; the survival rate at the implant level was 98.48%. No severe postoperative complication was reported and the subjective feeling of patients was acceptable. This mTSFE technique could simplify the operative procedure and might be helpful to reduce intraoperative trauma, as well as to alleviate postoperative discomfort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of the combined transplantation of a bilateral anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap for the repair of large-area skin and soft tissue defects of the extremities. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve patients who had received bilateral ALTP flap reconstructions for large-area skin and soft tissue defects of the extremities were retrospectively analyzed. The areas of the skin and soft tissue defects were measured preoperatively (18.0×11.0 ‒ 38.0×15.0 cm2). The wounds were on the forearm, elbow, upper arm, foot, and lower leg. Color Duplex Sonography (CDS) was used to localize the site where the perforator artery of the bilateral thighs penetrated the deep fascia. The selected area was evaluated according to the number of perforating branches and the range of supply. The flap areas and repairable range were further evaluated according to the number of perforating branches detected during the operation to determine whether to retain the deep fascia. It is important to design and adjust the anastomosis of the vascular pedicle according to the specific situation on transfer of the flap to the recipient site. The donor sites of all the patients in the study were closed in the first stage. The amount of bleeding and the blood supply to the flap after vascular anastomosis were evaluated during the operation. The postoperative survival of the flap and complications, such as bleeding, infection, and arteriovenous crisis, were closely monitored. All patients were followed-up at one, three, and six months after surgery to assess their satisfaction with the appearance of the flap transplantation and the recovery of limb function. RESULTS The bilateral ATLP flaps survived successfully in all 12 cases and all donor sites were closed in the first stage. No post-surgery complications, including hematoma, wound dehiscence, and infection, were observed at the donor sites, resulting in high patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS Combined transplantation of bilateral ALTP flaps can repair large-area skin and soft tissue defects in one stage, which not only reduces the number of operations and hospitalization costs but also reduces the damage to the limbs caused by the cutting of large-area flaps from only one side. The accuracy of the surgery was improved by ultrasound-assisted localization. In summary, combined transplantation of bilateral ALTP is a rational yet effective way to repair large-area skin and soft tissue defects of the extremities.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate surgical strategies and the corresponding benefits for patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma(pCCA). Methods: A total of 81 patients with pCCA who underwent radical excision in the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital between January 2014 and December 2021 were retrospectively collected.The cohort consisted of 50 male and 31 female patients,with an age of (62.5±11.5)years(range:26 to 83 years).Seventy-five cases were diagnosed with jaundice,60 of whom received preoperative biliary drainage,while 20 patients received portal vein embolization.Their serum bilirubin level within one week before the operation(M(IQR)) was 44.3 (41.9) μmol/L(range:8.0 to 344.2 μmol/L).Preoperative imaging examinations were performed to evaluate the Bismuth-Corlette type of pCCA,showing 3,6,21,27,and 24 cases of Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲa,Ⅲb,and Ⅳ,respectively.The primary outcome was overall survival (OS),and the secondary outcomes were relapse-free survival (RFS),90-day postoperative morbidity and 90-day postoperative mortality.OS and RFS were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the Log-rank test.Significant prognostic factors were determined using univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. Results: In the cohort of 81 pCCA patients,67 cases(82.7%) underwent major hepatectomy while 3 cases received major hepatectomy combined with pancreaticoduodenectomy.Thirty-four patients underwent hepatectomy combined with vascular resection and reconstruction(18 cases of portal vein resection and reconstruction alone;9 cases of hepatic artery resection and reconstruction alone;7 cases of combination of portal vein and hepatic artery resection and reconstruction).Margin negative(R0 excision) were achieved in 53.1%(43/81) of these patients.The operation duration was (627±136)minutes(range:565 to 940 minutes),and the intraoperative blood loss was 400(455)ml(range:200 to 2 800 ml).The 90-day postoperative mortality was 3.7%(3/81).Grade 3-4 postoperative morbidity was 23.4% (19/81) according to the Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications.Up to the last follow-up at September 2022,the follow-up time was 34.0(24.2)months (range:0.4 to 103.6 months).Three patients who died within 90 days after surgery were excluded from the survival analysis.The median OS was 36.10 months (95%CI:18.23 to 42.97 months) and the 1-,3-and 5-year OS rates were 85.3%,46.8% and 27.3%,respectively.The median OS of 41 patients with negative margins was 47.83 months(95%CI:36.90 to 58.80 months) and that of 37 patients with positive margins was 20.47 months(95%CI:10.52 to 30.58 months).The median RFS of 70 patients with R0 and R1 resection was 24.50 months(95%CI:12.15 to 31.85 months)and the 1-,3-and 5-year RFS rates were 65.2%,45.7% and 29.9%,respectively.The median RFS of 41 patients with R0 resection was 38.57 months(95%CI:21.50 to 55.63 months) and that of 29 patients with R1 resection was 10.83 months(95%CI:2.82 to 19.86 months). Conclusions: The primary therapy for pCCA is radical surgical resection.A precise preoperative evaluation and sufficient preparation can reduce postoperative morbidity.Surgical treatment can achieve a better survival outcome by increasing the radical resection rate.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the clinical value of fluorescence-guided indocyanine green (ICG) laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Data from patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma and who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy with ICG fluorescence navigation in the Department of Liver Surgery and Liver Transplantation Center of West China Hospital between September 2020 and May 2022 were retrospectively collected. There were 53 males and 19 females, with an age of (55.5±12.9)years(range:42.6 to 68.4 years). Among them, 13 of the cases underwent laparoscopic anatomical liver resection(LALR) guided by tans-arterial ICG,43 of the cases received LAIR guided by portal vein negative ICG, and 16 of the cases received LALR positive by portal vein. Comparison among the three groups was performed by one-way ANOVA; and the rank sum test was used for comparison between groups. The counting data was expressed as percentage,and the χ2 test or Fisher's exact probability method was used for comparison between groups. Results: (1) Postoperative pathology: Resection R0 was achieved in all operations. The maximum tumor diameter of the patients in the arterial staining group, the reverse staining group, and the positive staining group(M (IQR)) was 2.5 (2.4) cm, 3.0 (2.5) cm and 3.0(2.4) cm,respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in the maximum tumor diameter between the three groups (P=0.364). The minimum tumor margin was 1.1 (1.1) cm, 1.0 (1.0) cm, 1.1 (1.6) cm in the the arterial staining group, reverse staining group and the positive staining group, respectively. There was no significant difference in the margin among the three groups (P=0.878). (2) Operation conditions: the operation time of the arterial staining group, the negative staining group, and the positive portal staining group was (348±93)minutes,(277±112)minutes,and (295±116)minutes,respectively. There were no significant differences in operation time among the three groups (P=0.134). The intraoperative blood loss of the three groups was 80(150)ml,200(350)ml,and 100(150)ml,respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in intraoperative bleeding volume between the three groups(P=0.743). All cases were not transfused during the operation and were not converted to laparotomy. ALT in the arterial staining group was higher than in the negative staining group in the first two days after the operation ((559±398)IU/L307(257) IU/L, q=235.5,P=0.004;(611±389)IU/L(331±242) IU/L, q=265.2, P=0.002). There was only one case of a grade III complication (Clavien-Dindo grading system) postoperative complication in the negative and positive staining group of the portal vein, respectively. Tumor markers in all patients decreased to the normal range after 2 months of operation. Conclusion: Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy guided by ICG fluorescence through arterial staining and portal vein staining is safe and feasible for primary hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.

Abstract
The Born cross sections of the process e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} at center-of-mass energies from 4.189 to 4.951 GeV are measured for the first time. The data samples used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 17.9 fb^{-1} and were collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Three enhancements around 4.20, 4.47, and 4.67 GeV are visible. The resonances have masses of 4209.6±4.7±5.9 MeV/c^{2}, 4469.1±26.2±3.6 MeV/c^{2}, and 4675.3±29.5±3.5 MeV/c^{2} and widths of 81.6±17.8±9.0 MeV, 246.3±36.7±9.4 MeV, and 218.3±72.9±9.3 MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The first and third resonances are consistent with the ψ(4230) and ψ(4660) states, respectively, while the second one is compatible with the ψ(4500) observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}K^{-}J/ψ process. These three charmoniumlike ψ states are observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→D^{*0}D^{*-}π^{+} process for the first time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a protocol for reprogramming human embryonic fibroblasts (HEFs) into chemically induced neural progenitor cells (ciNPCs). METHODS In the two-staged reprogramming of HEFs, the intermediate compact cell colonies were first chemically induced in KSR medium containing small-molecule compounds (VCR) for 15 days in normoxia, followed by the lineage-specific induction stage, in which the compact cell colonies were digested with 0.25% trypsin and the cells were cultured in low adhesion plates. After formation of a large number of free-floating neurospheres 2 days later, the ciNPCs were labeled with CM-DiI and transplanted into rat models of Parkinson's disease (PD)to observe the survival, migration and differentiation of the cells in PD brain. RESULTS After induction with VCR for 10 days under normoxic condition, compact cell colonies occurred in HEF cultures (approximately 40 colonies in each well containing 1×105 HEFs), and most of the colonies expressed high levels of alkaline phosphatase. A large number of free-floating neurospheres formed 2 days after passage and were defined as P1 ciNPCs. These ciNPCs exhibited typical neurosphere-like structures and expressed NPC-specific markers (nestin, Sox2, and Pax6). Under neuronal or glial differentiation condition, the ciNPCs expressed the neuron-specific marker Tuj1 and the astrocyte-specific marker GFAP. These ciNPCs could differentiate into Tuj1+, GFAP+, TH+ and GABA+ cells 4 weeks after transplantation into the brain of PD rats. CONCLUSION HEFs can be directly reprogrammed into ciNPCs using smallmolecule compounds without the need of introducing exogenous genes. This success may provide a solution to the shortage of donor materials for neuroscience research and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
We report on measurements of sequential ϒ suppression in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) through both the dielectron and dimuon decay channels. In the 0%-60% centrality class, the nuclear modification factors (R_{AA}), which quantify the level of yield suppression in heavy-ion collisions compared to p+p collisions, for ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) are 0.40±0.03(stat)±0.03(sys)±0.09(norm) and 0.26±0.08(stat)±0.02(sys)±0.06(norm), respectively, while the upper limit of the ϒ(3S) R_{AA} is 0.17 at a 95% confidence level. This provides experimental evidence that the ϒ(3S) is significantly more suppressed than the ϒ(1S) at RHIC. The level of suppression for ϒ(1S) is comparable to that observed at the much higher collision energy at the Large Hadron Collider. These results point to the creation of a medium at RHIC whose temperature is sufficiently high to strongly suppress excited ϒ states.

Abstract
The activity of active oxygen species on supported Ag atoms can be effectively modulated by metal-support interactions using different oxide supports. The strong interaction between Ag and Al2O3 with more electrons transferred from Ag to Al2O3 leads to the formation of more Ag-O2- (superoxide) species, responsible for the selective oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide. The relatively weak interaction between Ag and SiO2 induces the generation of Ag-O (atomic oxygen) and Ag-O22- (peroxide) species, which are more active for complete oxidation of CO and ethylene to CO2. This work is of significance for deep understanding of active surface species in atomically dispersed metal catalysts.

Abstract
Climate change is the great health challenge for human beings in the 21st century. Air pollution is also an important public health problem worldwide. China announced the climate commitment to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Achieving these goals would not only have far-reaching effects on air pollution control and climate change, but also improve the population health in China. Air pollution and climate change epidemiology are important aspects of environmental epidemiology. In this paper, we discuss the current status and future development of epidemiological research of air pollution and climate change in the context of achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals to provide ideas and suggestions for environmental and health studies in the future.

Abstract
Background Surgically altered anatomy remains a challenge when performing advanced endoscopic procedures including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Post-surgical anatomy frequently encountered in clinical practice that affects ERCP success includes Billroth II, roux-en-y gastric bypass, roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). While ERCP has a success rate of 90-95% in patients with native anatomy, the data is less robust in patients with PD anatomy. Advancement of the endoscope to the surgical anastomoses remains challenging as PD anatomy requires accurate identification of the afferent limb, and encourages acute bowel angulation and loop formation. In addition, navigation to the anastomosis may be more challenging with a sideviewing endoscope. Although forward viewing endoscopes may more readily reach the surgical anastomosis, cannulation may be difficult without an elevator or device-appropriate instruments. As a result, a retrospective analysis of technical and clinical success rates in ERCP was analyzed in post-PD patients. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical and clinical success of ERCP in patients with post-PD anatomy. Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on all patients with post-PD anatomy referred to our institution between 2006 to 2021 for ERCP. Demographic and procedural details including gender, age, indications, primary malignancy, and anastomosis identification were collected. Major outcomes included technical success (TS) rate (successful biliary or pancreatic intervention) and clinical success (CS) rate (improvement in patient symptomatology or normalization of bilirubin level). Result(s) A total of 47 patients underwent 102 ERCPs for biliary (n = 98; 96.1%) and pancreatic (n = 4; 3.9%) indications. There were 31 (66.0%) male patients and 16 (34.0%) female patients. The average age of patients was 61.5 years. The most common primary malignancies included pancreatic adenocarcinoma (n = 26; 55.3%), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (n = 5; 10.6%), and ampullary adenocarcinoma (n = 4; 8.5%). The most common indications for ERCP included obstructive jaundice (n = 22; 21.6%), stent evaluation (n = 30; 29.4%), and cholangitis (n = 35; 34.3%). Surgical anastomosis was identified in 90 (88.2%) patients. The overall TS and CS rates were 82.4% and 75.5%, respectively. When adjusted for anastomosis identification, the overall TS and CS rates were 93.3% and 82.2%. Conclusion(s) Despite the challenges of conducting ERCP in patients with post-PD anatomy, this retrospective analysis demonstrates an adequate overall TS and CS rate. Although endoscope advancement to the surgical anastomoses may be challenging, TS and CS rates improved if the anastomosis was reached and identified. The advent of endoscopic enteroenterostomy formation, balloon-assisted enterscopy, and rigidizing overtubes may assist in reaching surgical anastomoses. As a result, consideration should be undertaken to attempt ERCP in post-PD patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dynamic rigidizing overtubes have recently been described as a useful tool in challenging endoscopic procedures. These devices have the ability to dynamically rigidize, which stabilizes endoscope position, reduce loop formation and assist in the traversal of acute angulation. Its use has been best described in difficult colonoscopies by preventing loop formation and subsequently facilitating cecal intubation. However, the use of rigidizing overtubes for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is sparsely described in the literature. In particular, rigidizing overtubes may be beneficial in patients with surgically-altered anatomy, including post-pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) patients, as traversal to the surgical anastomosis is often challenging because of loop formation and acute angulation. In this study, a retrospective analysis was conducted on post-PD patients undergoing ERCP with dynamic rigidizing overtube.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical and clinical success of post-PD patients undergoing ERCP with rigidizing overtube.
Method
A retrospective analysis was conducted on all post-PD patients who underwent ERCP with rigidizing overtube between 2006 and 2021. Demographic information including age, gender and primary malignancy was collected. Pertinent procedure-related information including indication and anastomosis identification was obtained. The primary outcomes evaluated included technical and clinical success rate. Technical success (TS) was defined as the ability to perform an intended therapeutic intervention (stent insertion, cannulation, etc). Clinical success (CS) was operationalized as improvement in patient symptoms or normalization of bilirubin.
Result(s)
A total of 5 patients underwent 11 ERCPs with rigidizing overtube for biliary indications. There was a total of 3 (60.0%) male and 2 (40.0%) female patients. The average age of the patients was 62.5 years of age. There were 3 (60.0%) patients with pancreas cancer, 1 (20.0%) with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and 1 (20.0%) with duodenal adenoma with high grade dysplasia. The indications for ERCP included stent evaluation (n = 6; 54.5%), obstructive jaundice (n =3; 27.3%), cholangitis (n = 1; 9.1%), and stricture evaluation (n = 1; 9.1%). The surgical anastomosis was identified in all patients (n = 11; 100%). The overall technical and clinical success rates were both 90.9%.
Conclusion(s)
The use of rigidizing overtubes in ERCP may be beneficial in patients with surgically altered anatomy. In this small sample, technical and clinical success rates were excellent in post-PD patients. However, additional studies need to be conducted to validate these findings further.

Abstract
In this study, we numerically investigate the spin transfer torque oscillation (STO) in a magnetic orthogonal configuration by introducing a strong biquadratic magnetic coupling. The orthogonal configuration consists of top and bottom layers with in-plane and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy sandwiching a nonmagnetic spacer. The advantage of an orthogonal configuration is the high efficiency of spin transfer torque leading a high STO frequency; however, maintaining the STO in a wide range of electric current is challenging. By introducing biquadratic magnetic coupling into the orthogonal structure of FePt/spacer/Co90Fe10, Ni80Fe20 or Ni, we were able to expand the electric current region in which the stable STO is realized, resulting in a relatively high STO frequency. For example, approximately 50 GHz can be achieved in an Ni layer at a current density of 5.5 × 107 A/cm2. In addition, we investigated two types of initial magnetic state: out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic saturation; this leads to a vortex and an in-plane magnetic domain structure after relaxation, respectively. The transient time before the stable STO was reduced to between 0.5 and 1.8 ns by changing the initial state from out-of-plane to in-plane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua is a polyphagous caterpillar that causes serious damage to many species of crops and vegetables. To gain insight into how this polyphagous insect differs from less harmful oligophagous species, we generated a chromosome-level assembly and compared it to closely related species with the same or different feeding habits. RESULTS Based on Illumina and Pacific Biosciences data and Hi-C technology, 425.6 Mb of genome sequences were anchored and oriented into 31 linkage groups, with an N50 length of 14.8 Mb. A total of 24,649 gene models were predicted, of which 97.4% were identified in the genome assembly. Chemosensory genes are vital for locating food: of the four main families, odorant-binding proteins, chemosensory proteins and olfactory receptors showed little difference, whereas gustatory receptors are greatly expanded in S. exigua. Examination of other polyphagous insects confirmed this difference from oligophagous congeners and further identified the bitter receptor subfamily as being particularly affected. CONCLUSION Our high-quality genome sequence for beet armyworm identified a key expansion of the bitter gustatory receptor subfamily in this and other pests that differs crucially from more benign relatives and offers insight into the biology and possible future means of control for these economically important insects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the correlations between gene alterations induced in Mdr2-knockout (Mdr2-/-) models and liver fibrosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The overlapping genes in Mdr2-/- models were determined and included in logistic regression analysis to identify potential candidates for predicting liver fibrosis. Correlations between the expression levels of the identified candidates and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were addressed. Functional enrichment of the identified candidates was also evaluated via bioinformatic analysis. RESULTS Twenty-two overlapping genes in the GSE4612, GSE8642 and GSE14539 datasets were identified. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that ELOVL fatty acid elongase 7 (ELOVL7) was significantly associated with liver fibrosis S ≥ 2 (OR = 11.8, 95% CI = 2.0 - 69.2, p = 0.006). ELOVL7 was significantly upregulated in patients with various types of liver injury including hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and fatty liver diseases, and in multiple liver injury models, including bile duct ligation (BDL), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and paracetamol injection-induced liver damage models (all p < 0.05). The ELOVL7 levels were significantly higher in HSCs than in other liver cells (all p < 0.05) and were significantly upregulated in activated HSCs compared to quiescent HSCs (all p < 0.05). In addition, ELOVL7 expression was positively associated with transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and bone morphogenic protein 9 (BMP9) expression and negatively associated with BMP7 expression. Bioinformatic analysis of functional enrichment indicated that ELOVL7 is mainly involved in fatty acid synthesis and metabolism. CONCLUSIONS ELOVL7 could accurately predict advanced liver fibrosis. It might be involved in the activation of HSCs and the TGFβ signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the normal process of tooth development of C57BL/6 mouse strain by using micro-CT for better understanding about the tooth development of the human being and other species. Methods: A total of 54 C57BL/6 mice were used at postnatal day 1 (P1), P3, P7, P10, P14, P21, P28, P42 and P56 (n=6 for each age group). After euthanasia, the skulls and alveolar bones (with molars) were isolated and scanned by micro-CT scanner. After three dimensional reconstruction, the developmental status of the crown and root(s) for each tooth type was examined in different views. Results: The tooth development of mice from birth to mature (P56) could be divided into three stages. The first stage was from P1 to P14, in which the crowns of all the first, second and third molars had formed, while the roots had not fully developed yet. The second stage was from ablactation (P21) to P28, in which all the roots of the molars had reached their normal length, and the apical foramens had closed. Due to the mastication and occlusal abrasion, the incisors exhibited sharp cutting edges at the buccal enamel layer, and the corresponding molars formed a pit-to-fossa articulated relationship. The third stage was from P42 to P56, in which the root canal differentiation occurred, and 1-2 canal configuration was formed in several flat roots. The development of molar roots had completed and the apexes were enlarged due to the deposition of cementum around. Conclusions: In the process of mouse tooth development, the mineralization of the cusps, followed by crown formation and roots elongation, was precisely regulated in a spatial-temporal pattern. The incisors and the molars exhibited different modes of development.

[PMID: 36898098 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.130.082301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
We report the beam energy and collision centrality dependence of fifth and sixth order cumulants (C_{5}, C_{6}) and factorial cumulants (κ_{5}, κ_{6}) of net-proton and proton number distributions, from center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) 3 GeV to 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Cumulant ratios of net-proton (taken as proxy for net-baryon) distributions generally follow the hierarchy expected from QCD thermodynamics, except for the case of collisions at 3 GeV. The measured values of C_{6}/C_{2} for 0%-40% centrality collisions show progressively negative trend with decreasing energy, while it is positive for the lowest energy studied. These observed negative signs are consistent with QCD calculations (for baryon chemical potential, μ_{B}≤110 MeV) which contains the crossover transition range. In addition, for energies above 7.7 GeV, the measured proton κ_{n}, within uncertainties, does not support the two-component (Poisson+binomial) shape of proton number distributions that would be expected from a first-order phase transition. Taken in combination, the hyperorder proton number fluctuations suggest that the structure of QCD matter at high baryon density, μ_{B}∼750 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV is starkly different from those at vanishing μ_{B}∼24 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and higher collision energies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish an efficient protocol for directed differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into functional midbrain dopaminergic progenitor cells (DAPs) in vitro. METHODS hiPSCs were induced to differentiate into DAPs in two developmental stages. In the first stage (the first 13 days), hiPSCs were induced into intermediate cells morphologically similar to primitive neuroepithelial cells (NECs) in neural induction medium containing a combination of small molecule compounds. In the second stage, the intermediate cells were further induced in neural differentiation medium until day 28 to obtain DAPs. After CM-DiI staining, the induced DAPs were stereotactically transplanted into the right medial forebrain bundle (MFB) of rat models of Parkinson's disease (PD). Eight weeks after transplantation, the motor behaviors of PD rats was evaluated. Immunofluorescence assay of brain sections of the rats was performed at 2 weeks after transplantation to observe the survival, migration and differentiation of the transplanted cells in the host brain microenvironment. RESULTS hiPSCs passaged stably on Matrigel showed a normal diploid karyotype, expressed the pluripotency markers OCT4, SOX2, and Nanog, and were positive for alkaline phosphatase. The primitive neuroepithelial cells obtained on day 13 formed dense cell colonies in the form of neural rosettes and expressed the neuroepithelial markers (SOX2, Nestin, and PAX6, 91.3%-92.8%). The DAPs on day 28 highly expressed the specific markers (TH, FOXA2, LMX1A and NURR1, 93.3-96.7%). In rat models of PD, the hiPSCs-DAPs survived and differentiated into TH+, FOXA2+ and Tuj1+ neurons at 2 weeks after transplantation. Eight weeks after transplantation, the motor function of PD rats was significantly improved as shown by water maze test (P < 0.0001) and apomorphine-induced rotation test (P < 0.0001) compared with rats receiving vehicle injection. CONCLUSION HiPSCs can be effectively induced to differentiate into DAPs capable of differentiating into functional neurons both in vivo and in vitro. In rat models of PD, the transplanted hiPSCs-DAPs can survive for more than 8 weeks in the MFB and differentiate into multiple functional neurocytes to ameliorate neurological deficits of the rats, suggesting the potential value of hiPSCs-DAPs transplantation for treatment of neurological diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the safety and feasibility of gasless submental approach endoscopic removal of thyroglossal cyst. Methods: This work prospectively included the clinical data of 13 patients who underwent the gasless submental approach endoscopic removal of thyroglossal cyst at the Department of Otolaryngology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from August 2021 to February 2022. The operative time, bleeding volumes, postoperative complications, subjective pain levels, satisfaction with incisional scars, neck and facial deformities, and recurrences were prospectively evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS) score. Results: All of 13 patients were successfully treated using this new technique. The patients had a median age of 38 years, ranging from 24 to 59 years, comprising of 3 males and 10 females. The length of the submental incision was about 3 cm and the median of operation time was 135 minutes. Postoperative complications were minimal. The median volume of blood loss was 10 ml. Surgical site swelling existed in 1 case and dysphagia for more than 1 week occurred in 2 cases. Patients were discharged from the hospital with a median of 3 days after surgery. On a VAS of 0-10 scores, the pain had a median of 2 on the first day after surgery, and the satisfaction with incision scars and neck and facial deformities showed a median of 8 at 6 months after surgery. There were no recurrences during the follow-up period of 9-15 months. Conclusion: Gasless submental approach endoscopic removal of thyroglossal cyst may be a reliable new surgical method that is safe and has cosmetic advantages.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of explicit and implicit online intervention methods for self-compassion on improving sleep quality among Chinese adults. Methods A total of 328 adult participants were recruited to complete the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire and Self-compassion Scale, and 168 participants were randomly assigned to one of three different conditions: two self-compassion intervention groups (self-compassion writing intervention asked participants to write several sentences with self-compassion, and self-compassion combination intervention asked participants to combine words into complete sentences with self-compassion) and one control group. After 1 week of online self-compassion intervention with daily sleep quality measured simultaneously, 150 participants completed the posttest of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire and Self-Compassion Scale. Results The pretest and posttests results showed that the self-compassion level and sleep quality of the self-compassion writing intervention group were significantly better than those of the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the self-compassion combination intervention group and the control group. For the diary tracking results, sleep quality was significantly better for both the self-compassion writing intervention group and self-compassion combination intervention group than the control group, however, the self-compassion writing intervention group showed great improvements. Conclusion Both self-compassion writing and combination interventions were effective in improving sleep quality, and the effect of self-compassion writing was more stable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the benefits and harmful effects of conservative versus liberal oxygen therapy in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out. SETTING ICU. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients (aged 18 years or older) were randomized to either a lower oxygenation target strategy (conservative oxygen therapy) or a higher oxygenation target strategy (liberal oxygen therapy) in the ICU. INTERVENTIONS Patients received different oxygenation target strategies. RESULTS Ten studies involving 5429 adult patients admitted to the ICU were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed no decreased all-cause mortality at 28 days (RR 0.90; 95%CI 0.75-1.09; p = 0.28), 90 days (RR 1.02; 95%CI 0.92-1.13; p = 0.71) or longest follow-up (RR 0.97; 95%CI 0.88-1.08; p = 0.63) among patients administered conservative oxygen therapy. Secondary outcomes were comparable between the two groups. The results of sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were consistent with the main analyses. CONCLUSION No beneficial or harmful effects of conservative oxygen therapy were found compared to liberal oxygen therapy in relation to all-cause mortality among adult patients in the ICU. Conservative oxygen therapy did not reduce all-cause mortality at 28 days, 90 days or longest follow-up. Other important clinical outcomes were also comparable between the two groups.

Abstract
High levels of S100A6 have been associated with progression in some types of human cancers. Cancers related to S100A6 have been reported to include lung cancer, cervical cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, etc., but its role in the molecular pathogenesis of these cancers is largely unknown. This study investigated the expression and functional roles of S100A6 in human thyroid cancer. The expression level of S100A6 in thyroid cancer cells was determined by bioinformatics and transcriptomic analysis. Furthermore, the potential functions of S100A6 in tumorigenesis were analyzed by cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and Western blot assays in human thyroid cancer cells. Public database queries revealed high S100A6 expression in thyroid cancer. In addition, we also found that high expression of S100A6 was positively correlated with malignant clinicopathological characteristics of thyroid cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas database. qPCR results confirmed the high expression of S100A6 in thyroid cancer cells. S100A6 silencing inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Western blot assays and response experiments showed that S100A6 promotes cell proliferation and tumorigenicity partly through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. These results suggest that S100A6 affects the progression of thyroid cancer and can be used as a target in the future treatment of thyroid cancer.

Abstract
AIMS Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is an economically important crop. Root rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum has become a damaging disease in N. tabacum crops grown in Henan province of China. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to screen bacterial isolates against F. oxysporum from rhizosphere soils of tobacco growing areas and to evaluate their antifungal activities, biocontrol effects, and effects on plant growth. METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen strains with antifungal inhibition effects of >60% against F. oxysporum were obtained using the method of flat confrontation; the strain Ba-0321 was the strongest, with an antifungal effect of 75%. Moreover, this strain had broad spectrum antimicrobial activity to eight additional tobacco pathogens. The strain was identified as Bacillus velezensis by morphology and the 16S rDNA sequence. The B. velezensis strain Ba-0321 had strong UV resistance as well as tolerance to high temperatures and low nutrition. The bacteria inhibited spore germination and mycelial growth of F. oxysporum under in vitro co-culture conditions. In vivo assays demonstrated that the Ba-0321 strain significantly reduced the pathogenicity of F. oxysporum, resulting in a control effect on tobacco root rot of 81.00%. Simultaneously, the bacteria significantly promoted root development and the growth of tobacco plants. CONCLUSION Our results confirmed that the B. velezensis strain Ba-0321 has a strong antifungal effect and stress resistance that enable it to be used as a biological control agent for tobacco root rot caused by F. oxysporum. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Tobacco root rot caused by F. oxysporum has become a damaging disease in China. The B. velezensis strain Ba-0321 has promising application value for controlling tobacco root rot diseases, and it could provide a new biocontrol agent against root rot caused by F. oxysporum in other plant species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon, is a serious global underground pest. Its distinct phenotypic traits, especially its polyphagy and ability to migrate long distances, contribute to its widening distribution and increasing difficulty of control. However, knowledge about these traits is still limited. RESULTS We generated a high-quality chromosome-level assembly of A. ipsilon using PacBio and Hi-C technology with a contig N50 length of ~ 6.7 Mb. Comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses showed that detoxification-associated gene families were highly expanded and induced after insects fed on specific host plants. Knockout of genes that encoded two induced ABC transporters using CRISPR/Cas9 significantly reduced larval growth rate, consistent with their contribution to host adaptation. A comparative transcriptomic analysis between tethered-flight moths and migrating moths showed expression changes in the circadian rhythm gene AiCry2 involved in sensing photoperiod variations and may receipt magnetic fields accompanied by MagR and in genes that regulate the juvenile hormone pathway and energy metabolism, all involved in migration processes. CONCLUSIONS This study provides valuable genomic resources for elucidating the mechanisms involved in moth migration and developing innovative control strategies.

Abstract
Objective The existing studies involving omentin-1 have mainly focused on relationships with single cardiovascular risk factor. Whether omentin-1 is associated with the aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors has not been reported. We investigate the relationship between the serum omentin-1 level and aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents. Subjects and Methods A total of 741 young students, 11-16 years of age, were enrolled using a stratified cluster sampling method. The participants were given a questionnaire survey and underwent a physical examination. The aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors was defined as two or more cardiovascular risk factors occurring simultaneously in the same individual. Results Partial correlation analysis suggested that serum omentin-1 level was significantly correlated with waist circumference (R=-0.086, P=0.019) and Body Mass Index (R=-0.096, P=0.009). Logistic regression analysis showed that as the serum omentin-1 level increased, the risk of aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors decreased. Cardiovascular risk factors which were most closely associated with a decrease in the serum omentin-1 level were obesity calculated by Body Mass Index (OR=0.988, P=0.043) and central obesity calculated by waist circumference (OR=0.993, P=0.012). Conclusions The serum omentin-1 level in adolescents is inversely associated with the aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors. Waist circumference and Body Mass Index are factors most closely associated with a decrease in the serum omentin-1 level.

Abstract
The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern γ-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity. γ-ray observations have long been one of the most powerful tools for dark matter searches, as, e.g., high-energy γ rays could be produced by the decays of heavy dark matter particles. In this Letter, we present the first dark matter analysis with LHAASO-KM2A, using the first 340 days of data from 1/2-KM2A and 230 days of data from 3/4-KM2A. Several regions of interest are used to search for a signal and account for the residual cosmic-ray background after γ/hadron separation. We find no excess of dark matter signals, and thus place some of the strongest γ-ray constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles with mass between 10^{5} and 10^{9} GeV. Our results with LHAASO are robust, and have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.

U-shaped association between dietary thiamine intake and new-onset diabetes: a nationwide cohort study. QJM 2022; 115:822-829. [PMID: 35894803 PMCID: PMC9744247 DOI: 10.1093/qjmed/hcac159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between dietary thiamine intake and the risk of diabetes remains unknown. AIM We aimed to evaluate the relation of dietary thiamine intake with new-onset diabetes and examine possible effect modifiers. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS A total of 16 272 participants who were free of diabetes at baseline were enrolled from China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Dietary nutrients intake information was collected by 3-day dietary recalls in addition to using a 3-day food-weighed method to assess cooking oil and condiment consumption. New-onset diabetes was defined as a fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l or a glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or diagnosed by a physician during the follow-up. RESULTS During a median follow-up duration of 9.0 years, new-onset diabetes occurred in 1101 participants. Overall, the association between dietary thiamine intake and new-onset diabetes followed a U-shape (P for non-linearity <0.001). Consistently, when thiamine intake was assessed as quartiles, compared with those in the 2-3 quartiles (0.75 to 1.10 mg/day), the significantly higher risks of new-onset diabetes were found in participants in the first quartile [adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 1.33; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10, 1.61] and the fourth quartile (adjusted HR, 1.39; 95% CI: 1.17, 1.67). Similar results were found when further adjusting for the intake of other major nutrients or food groups; or using the propensity score weighting to control the imbalance of covariates. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that there was a U-shape association between dietary thiamine intake and new-onset diabetes in general Chinese adults, with a minimal risk at 0.75-1.10 mg/day.

Clonal relationship and alcohol consumption-associated mutational signature in synchronous hypopharyngeal tumours and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Br J Cancer 2022; 127:2166-2174. [PMID: 36261585 PMCID: PMC9726980 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-022-01995-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The patients with dual oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) have poor prognosis; their underlying genetic pathogenesis is unclear. We hypothesise that development of synchronous ESCC/HPC depends on multicentricity or independent origin, rather than multifocality due to local or lateral spreading. METHOD Multiple region whole-exome sequencing (M-WES) and clonality analysis were used to assess clonal relationship and spatial inter- or intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH) in 62 tumour regions from eight dual ESCC/HPC and ten ESCC patients. RESULTS All synchronous ESCC/HPC patients had COSMIC 16 mutation signatures, compared to only 40% ESCC in the current study (p = 0.013) and public data set (n = 165, p = 0.003). This alcohol consumption-related mutation signature 16, commonly involved in multiple alcohol-related cancers, was significantly associated with drinking and alcohol metabolism-related ADH1B rs1229984. The mutational landscape and copy number profiles were completely distinct between the two primary tumours; clonality analysis further suggested the two primary tumours shared no or only one clone accompanying independent subclone evolution. M-WES strategy demonstrated higher sensitivity and accuracy for detection of mutational prevalence and the late branch mutations among different regions in the ESCC tumours, compared to traditional sequencing analysis based on single biopsy strategy. Patients with high ITH assessed by cancer cell fraction analysis after M-WES were significantly associated with both relapse and survival. CONCLUSIONS Our hypothesis-generating M-WES ITH assessment data have implications for prognostication. Collectively, our findings support multicentric independent clonal evolution, the field cancerisation theory, and suggest novel insights implicating an aetiologic role of alcohol metabolism in dual ESCC/HPC carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Nonenzymatic biosensors hold great potential in the field of analysis and detection due to long-term stability, high sensitivity, and low cost. However, the relative low selectivity, especially the overlapped oxidation peaks of biomarkers, in the biological matrix severely limits the practical application. In this work, we introduce an intelligent back-propagation neural network into nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensing to overcome the limitation of low selectivity for glucose and lactate detection. After simple electrodeposition and dropping modification, three working electrodes with distinct characters are fabricated and integrated into electrochemical microdroplet arrays for glucose and lactic acid detection. By analyzing chronoamperometry data from a standard mixture of glucose and lactate in varying concentrations, a database of highly selective detection can be simply established. The trained neural network model can reliably identify and accurately predict the concentration of glucose and lactic acid in the range of 0.25-20 mM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9997 in multianalyte mixtures. More importantly, the predicted results of serum samples are precise, and the relative standard deviation is less than 6.5%, proving the possible applicability of this method in real scenarios. This innovative method to enhance selectivity can avoid complex material synthesis and selection, and the highly specific nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensing platform paves the way for intelligent and precise point-of-care detection in long-term and is of low cost.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The preservation of biological and physiological vitality as well as the formation of dentin are among the main tasks of human dental pulp for a life time. Odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) exhibits the capacity of dental pulp regeneration and dentin complex rebuilding. Exploration of the mechanisms regulating differentiation and proliferation of hDPSCs may help to investigate potential clinical applications. BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) is a transcription repressor engaged in the regulation of multiple cellular functions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of BACH1 on the proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro.
Methods
hDPSCs and pulpal tissues were obtained from extracted human premolars or third molars. The distribution of BACH1 was detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression of BACH1 were examined by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. BACH1 expression was regulated by stable lentivirus-mediated transfection. Cell proliferation and cell cycle were assessed by cell counting kit-8 assay, 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay and flow cytometry. The expression of mineralization markers, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red S staining were conducted to assess the odontoblastic differentiation ability.
Results
BACH1 expression was stronger in the odontoblast layer than in the cell rich zone. The total and nuclear protein level of BACH1 during odontoblastic differentiation was downregulated initially and then upregulated gradually. Knockdown of BACH1 greatly inhibited cell proliferation, arrested cell cycle, upregulated the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression and attenuated ALP activity, decreased calcium deposits and downregulated the expression of mineralization markers. Treatment of Tin-protoporphyrin IX, an HO-1 inhibitor, failed to rescue the impaired odonto/osteogenic differentiation capacity. Overexpression of BACH1 increased cell proliferation, ALP activity and the expression of mineralization markers.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that BACH1 is an important regulator of the proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro. Manipulation of BACH1 expression may provide an opportunity to promote the regenerative capacity of hDPSCs.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between germline rare variants of bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) protein family-encoding genes and susceptibility to cancer in some regions of China. Methods: Capturing probes were designed for bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2), BRD3 and BRD4 genes, and Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform was used to conduct targeted sequencing of genomic DNA of peripheral blood leukocytes from 1 673 patients with cancer and 1 661 individuals without cancer recruited between October 2015 and July 2018 from Chinese PLA General Hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, People's Hospital of Macheng City, Hubei Province and Geneplus-Beijing Co. Ltd. Mutation detection and analysis were carried out according to the genome analysis toolkit (GATK) best practice guidelines, ANNOVAR and VEP software were used for annotation, and germline rare variants in BET family were screened. To determine potential pathogenic germline rare variants, clinical and experimental evidence was obtained from the ClinVar database and SIFT and Polyphen-2 softwares were used to predict pathogenicity. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the difference of the carrying rate of variants in the case group and the control group, and multivariate regression analysis was performed with the SKAT software with sex and age used as covariates. Results: Among the 1 673 cancer patients, 911 were males and 762 were females, with the mean age was (57.9±11.7) years. There were 1, 111 cases (66.4%) of lung cancer, 266 cases (15.9%) of colorectal cancer, 186 cases of breast cancer (11.1%), and 110 cases (6.6%) of esophagus or gastric cancer. In the same period 1, 661 non-tumor control individuals were recruited, including 821 males and 840 females, with the mean age was (44.5±13.9) years. It was observed that there were 4 potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene carried by 17 patients with cancer, 5 potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD3 gene and 8 potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD4 gene. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene in cancer patients was 1.02% (17/1 673), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0 (0/1 661); OR=+∞, 95%CI: 4.81-+∞, P<0.001]. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD3 gene in cancer patients was 0.24% (4/1 673), and the difference was not statistically significant compared with controls without cancer [0.12% (2/1 661); OR=1.99, 95%CI: 0.46-10.47, P=0.690]. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD4 gene in cancer patients was 0.18% (3/1 673), and the difference was not statistically significant compared with controls without cancer [0.36% (6/1 661); OR=0.50, 95%CI: 0.14-2.08, P=0.340]. Furthermore, the dataset of whole exome sequencing of Chinese individuals in "Huabiao Project" was used as an additional control, and the rate of carrying BRD2 rare variants in cancer patients was 17/3 346 (0.51%), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0.07% (3/4 154); OR=7.07, 95%CI: 2.32-22.83, P<0.001]. Among the 17 patients carrying 4 potentially pathogenic germline rare variants of BRD2 gene, 9 were patients with lung cancer, 6 were patients with colorectal cancer, 1 was patient with breast cancer, and 1 was patients with esophagus or gastric cancer. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene in lung cancer patients was 0.81 (9/1 111), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0(0/1 661); OR=+∞, 95%CI: 3.95-+∞,P<0.001]. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene in patients with colorectal cancer was 2.26% (6/266), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0(0/1 661); OR=+∞, 95%CI: 9.03-+∞, P<0.001]. Wilcoxon rank-sum test results showed that patients with colorectal cancer carrying BRD2 rare variants had an earlier age at diagnosis [(47.0±7.4) vs (57.2±12.1) years old, P=0.017]. Conclusions: BRD2 gene may be served as a candidate genetic susceptibility gene for lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Carrying BRD2 potential pathogenic germline rare variants is associated with higher risk of lung cancer and colorectal cancer, and with earlier age of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the application of internet-based HIV testing in men who have sex with men (MSM) in practical application and provide evidence for its application in the future. Methods: MSM who visited the internet-based intervention platform for at least one time from June to December 2020 were selected for the study. The information about platform visit, the number of self-test kits provided, the basic characteristics of the MSM and their satisfactory level were collected. And multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the potential factors associated with the reporting of self-test results. Results: By the end of December 31th, 2020, a total of 132 267 platform visits had been recorded, and 3 511 HIV self-test kits had been provided upon the MSM's requests, and 3 237 MSM (92.2%) reported self-test results. The HIV positive rate was 2.4% (69/2 855) and the confirmation rate of positive HIV test results was 86.7% (52/60). The MSM who asked for self-test kits online were mainly aged ≤30 years, had education level of college or above, and found their sexual partners through internet or dating software. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that repeat of online HIV self-test kits application (OR=3.50,95%CI:2.10-5.83), guarantee deposit of 50 yuan at application (OR=2.55,95%CI:1.33-4.89), monthly economic income 1-3 000 yuan (OR=1.54,95%CI:1.05-2.28) or no income (OR=1.71,95%CI:1.20-2.42) and online sexual partners finding (OR=1.49,95%CI:1.13-1.95) were associated with higher reporting rate of self-test results. The satisfactory rate the MSM to the service of platform was 99.5% (217/218). Conclusions: The study confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of internet-based intervention for HIV tests in MSM, which could promote the self-test of HIV in MSM and facilitate the early detection of HIV infection through social media platforms and multi-channel promotion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is defined as one of the most common cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Periodontitis is one of the risk factors for CAD. MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were carefully and thoroughly retrieved until October 2021. On the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible articles were selected strictly to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Using Cochran's Q statistic, Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 16, data were extracted, and a comprehensive analysis was carried out. RESULTS Six RCTs of 619 patients were included in this study, including 360 in the intervention group (IG) and 259 in the control group (CG). Meta-analysis showed significant difference for C-reactive protein (CRP) (1.20mg/L, 95% CI: 1.13 to 1.27, p < 0.00001) after non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), but showed no significant difference for interleukin-6 (IL-6) (1.19mg/L, 95% CI: -1.03 to 3.40, p=0.29), flow-mediated dilation (FMD) (-1.64%, 95% CI: -4.95 to 1.67, p=0.33), triacylglycerol (TG) (-0.02mg/dL, 95% CI: -0.31 to 0.27, p=0.90), total cholesterol (TC) (0.04mg/dL, 95% CI: -0.25 to 0.33, p=0.90), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (0.00mg/dL, 95% CI: -0.29 to 0.29, p=0.99) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (0.11mg/dL, 95% CI: -0.18 to 0.40, p=0.46). CONCLUSIONS The impact of NSPT on the reduction of CRP in patients of CAD with periodontitis is significant. NSPT can be considered as an important preventive strategy for major cardiovascular events in CAD.
