Abstract
Objective: To explore peptidomic changes of peptides in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) before and after treatment of gingivitis. Methods: From January 2017 to September 2017, seventeen participants at the age of 24-62 (6 males and 11 females) at Department of Preventive Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology with gingivitis were recruited in the present study. Their clinical parameters were measured and recorded. Saliva and GCF samples were collected from each of the participants at the baseline and 7 days after ultrasonic supragingival scaling, respectively. Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was employed to detect the changes of peptidomic profiles, while ano-liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC/ESI-MS/MS) was performed to identify the possible proteins from which the peptides might derive. Results: Initially, four peptide peaks [mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) values: 1 030.6, 1 043.4, 1 053.4 and 1 064.6] were screened out exhibiting a decreasing trend after treatment (P<0.05). Besides, five peptide peaks from gingival crevicular fluid (P<0.05) exhibited differential expression, among which 1 055.5 and 1 168.3 demonstrating a decrease after treatment, while 3 363.7, 3 480.9 and 3 489.5 increased overtime. Certain positive correlations were detected between some peptides and clinical parameters. Principle component analysis using the above mentioned peptide peaks showed a distinct distribution before and after treatment and peptides from GCF showed a slightly better capacity to discriminate patients before and after treatment. The peptides with m/z values of 1 055.5 in GCF and 1 064.6 in saliva were identified to be segments of serum albumin and complement C3, respectively. Conclusions: Several differentially expressed peptides were detected in saliva and GCF by MALDI-TOF MS, exhibiting the potentiality to act as biomarkers in gingivitis patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An increasing number of reports have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in the occurrence and development of cancer by acting as tumor inhibitors or oncogenes. The purpose of this research was to explore whether the expression level of microRNA-15a-5p (miR-15a-5p) was related to TP53 regulated inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (TP53INP1) in cervical cancer, and to explore the role of miR-15a-5p in cervical cancer in vitro. PATIENTS AND METHODS Human cervical cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were obtained from 30 cervical cancer patients. Firstly, we carried out the quantitative Real Time-PCR (qRT-PCR) assay to evaluate the level of miR-15a-5p in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. The TargetScan and the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay were used to confirm the relationship between TP53INP1 and miR-15a-5p. Besides, the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and the flow cytometry analysis were performed to detect the effect of miR-15a-5p on cell proliferation and apoptosis in cervical cancer cells. RESULTS Our results showed that the expression of miR-15a-5p was enhanced in cervical cancer tissues and cells lines. The data from the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay demonstrated that TP53INP1 was a direct target of miR-15a-5p. We also found that TP53INP1 was down-regulated in the cervical cancer tissues and cell lines compared with the adjacent normal tissues and normal cervical cells. Besides, the down-regulation of miR-15a-5p depressed cervical cancer cell proliferation and enhanced cell apoptosis. Our results clearly suggested that the down-regulation of TP53INP1 successfully impaired the tumor-inhibition effects of miR-15a-5p inhibitor in cervical cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that miR-15a-5p functioned as a tumor-promoting gene in cervical cancer by directly targeting TP53INP1, indicating that miR-15a-5p might be a potential treatment target for cervical cancer patients.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection shares the same transmission routes, and thereby it is not rare in regions where the prevalence of HBV and HCV is high. However, the co-infection rates of HBV/HCV reported in different regions of the world are relatively dissimilar, and the co-infection rates of HBV/HCV in the population are unidentified due to the presence of silent HBV infection. Thus, the phenomenon of underestimation exists. HCV may have an inhibitory effect on HBV replication when HBV/HCV is co-infected, and the effect of HBV on HCV replication remains to be certain by more studies. Furthermore, the mechanism of interaction may include the direct effect of viral proteins and the indirect effect of immune mediated host response. HBV/HCV co-infection can cause more serious chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis, and can increase the risk of liver cancer. The efficacy of peginterferon plus ribavirin in patients with HBV/HCV co-infection is same as HCV monotherapy. There are few studies on the efficacy of direct-acting antiviral drugs. Patients with HBV/HCV co-infection have the risk of HBV reactivation regardless of anti-HCV treatment with peginterferon plus ribavirin or direct-acting antiviral drugs, but the probability of HBV reactivation and how to assess and prevent it needs more studies to interpret.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is a severe allergic condition in which wheat ingestion together followed by physical exercise induces anaphylaxis. For patients with WDEIA, omega-5 gliadin is considered to be one of the major allergens. AIM To analyse the clinical features and allergen spectrum of WDEIA and to investigate the relationship between WDEIA and serum levels of platelet-activating factor (PAF), interleukin (IL)-9 and IL-33. METHODS Medical histories and conditions of WDEIA cases were collected and summarized, with allergen tests of wheat proteins measured at the same visit. Of the 33 patients enrolled, 13 also had serum levels of PAF, IL-9 and IL-33 measured. The healthy control (HC) group consisted of 13 healthy individuals, who also underwent both the wheat-protein allergen tests and the inflammatory-mediator tests. RESULTS All patients experienced severe allergic reaction during exercise after wheat ingestion. Manifestations of WDEIA included facial oedema, generalized urticaria and respiratory symptoms. Unconsciousness was also observed in 21 cases. In the patient group, 57.6% were confirmed as hypersensitive to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), while 54.5% were allergic to omega-5 gliadin. PAF concentration was significantly higher in patients with WDEIA compared with HCs, whereas there was no significant difference in IL-9 or IL-33 between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS WDEIA is a rare type of anaphylaxis. GAPDH and omega-5 gliadin may be the most common allergy-causing wheat proteins for Chinese people. PAF may be associated with the onset and development of WDEIA.

Abstract
AIMS Patients with renovascular hypertension (RVH) exhibit elevated urinary mtDNA copy numbers, considered to constitute surrogate markers of renal mitochondrial injury. The modest success of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) in restoring renal function in RVH has been postulated to be partly attributable to acute reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that mitoprotection during revascularization would ameliorate PTRA-induced renal mitochondrial injury, reflected in elevated urinary mtDNA copy numbers and improve blood pressure and functional outcomes 3 months later. METHODS We prospectively measured urinary copy number of the mtDNA genes COX3 and ND1 using qPCR in RVH patients before and 24 hrs after PTRA, performed during IV infusion of vehicle (n = 8) or the mitoprotective drug elamipretide (ELAM, 0.05 mg/kg/h, n = 6). Five healthy volunteers (HV) served as controls. Urinary mtDNA levels were also assessed in RVH and normal pigs (n = 7 each), in which renal mitochondrial structure and density were studied ex-vivo. RESULTS Baseline urinary mtDNA levels were elevated in all RVH patients vs HV and directly correlated with serum creatinine levels. An increase in urinary mtDNA 24 hours after PTRA was blunted in PTRA+ELAM vs PTRA+Placebo. Furthermore, 3-months after PTRA, systolic blood pressure decreased and estimated glomerular filtration rate increased only in ELAM-treated subjects. In RVH pigs, mitochondrial damage was observed using electron microscopy in tubular cells and elevated urinary mtDNA levels correlated inversely with renal mitochondrial density. CONCLUSIONS PTRA leads to an acute rise in urinary mtDNA, reflecting renal mitochondrial injury that in turn inhibits renal recovery. Mitoprotection might minimize PTRA-associated mitochondrial injury and improve renal outcomes after revascularization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary erythromelalgia (PE) is a dominant inherited disorder characterized by recurrent pain, redness, and warmth of the extremities that is caused by gain-of-function mutations in Nav1.7 encoding gene SCN9A. Most of the PE-causing mutations of Nav1.7 have been shown to be able to render Nav1.7-expressing cells hyperexcitable, however in most PE cases the symptoms are refractory to treatment with sodium channel blockers and the mechanism underlying the intractability has not been clearly clarified. OBJECTIVE To identify the mutation of SCN9A in a Chinese Han family with typical symptoms of PE and study the electrophysiological effect of the identified mutation. METHODS A Chinese Han family with typical symptoms of PE was collected and the proband's response to treatment was recorded. All the exons and flanking intronic sequences of SCN9A were amplified with PCR and sequenced. Several online programs were used to predict the damaging effect of variants. The functional effect of variants was studied by voltage-clamp analysis in CHO-K1 cells. RESULTS The PE symptoms of the proband are refractory to all kinds of reported medications. Sequence analysis of SCN9A showed that a novel c.2477T>A (p. F826Y) mutation co-segregated with the disease phenotype. Several online programs predicted that the F826Y mutation has a deleterious effect on the gene product. Voltage-clamp analysis showed that while compared with the wild-type channel, activation of the F826Y mutant channel was shifted by 7.7 mV in a hyperpolarizing direction, whereas steadystate inactivation was shifted by 4.3 mV in a depolarizing direction. CONCLUSION A novel disease-causing SCN9A Mutation (F826Y) was identified in a Chinese family with typical PE symptoms refractory to treatment. F826Y of Nav1.7 could render DRG neurons hyperexcitable, contributing to the pathogenesis of PE.

Abstract
One of the end-products of ROS-induced peroxidation, malondialdehyde (MDA), induces the cross-links in proteins, which leads to perturbation of the physiological functions of cells and contributes to abnormal biological regulation and various disorders. Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, Tau) aids in adjusting normal physiological functions to confer stress resistance. The protective effects of Tau against MDA stress in vitro or in vivo were reported previously. In this study, we had investigated the protective effects of taurine on viability, oxidative stress levels and mitochondrial biogenesis in mouse muscle C2C12 cells undergoing MDA induced stress. We show that the treatment with 100 μM MDA leads to increase in cell oxidative stress levels, inhibition of mitochondrial biogenesis and the reduction of the cell survival rates. The pretreatment with 0.1 μM taurine reduced MDA-induced death rate via inhibition of oxidative stress, restoration of mitochondrial functions of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP production. In MDA stress, the pre-treatment with 0.1 μM taurine leads to upregulation of the factors of mitochondrial biogenesis. These observations suggest that the cytoprotective effects of taurine may be due to an induction of mitochondrial biogenesis.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Vesselplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures and vertebral metastases. Methods: From June 2010 to December 2016, data of 81 patients with spinal diseases treated with Vesselplasty in Department of Spinal Surgery, Beijing Friendship hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There are 49 cases of vertebral fractures with age (70.2±8.2) years. Among them, 16 cases have posterior vertebral wall breakage, but no symptoms of nerve injury. Clinical result were evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) , the kyphotic angle(Cobb's angle) and Oswestry disability index(ODI) was measured preoperatively, postoperatively and follow-up. At the same time, the operation time and cement leakage were recorded. There were 32 patients with vertebral metastases, with age of (69.6±11.1) years old. The posterior wall of the vertebral body was damaged in 22 cases. The VAS scores were recorded and compared preoperatively and postoperatively. The operation time was recorded also. Results: All patients were completed the operation safely and with no complications. Compared with preoperative VAS, postoperative VAS was significantly decreased in all subjects(P<0.05). The average operation time of each vertebral body was 16.2±4.6 min, and the postoperative VAS score significantly decreased (P<0.05), Cobb 's angle from preoperative (13.9±6.0) ° to( 5.2±4.0) ° (P<0.05) in 49 cases of vertebral fracture(58 vertebrae). The clinical results were still satisfied in follow-up . In 32 cases of vertebral metastases(38 vertebrae), the average operation time was (17.6±5.4) min. The postoperative VAS score was obviously decreased also(P<0.05). A small amount of bone cement leakage occurred in 4 cases of 4 vertebrae. The rate of bone cement leakage was 4.2%, but there were no clinical symptoms in these cases. Conclusion: Vesselplasty is a safe and effective treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures and vertebral metastases. It can lead to satisfactory clinical effect, partial recovery of vertebral height. Besides, the bone filling mesh can reduce the risk of bone cement leakage, which can provide a new choice for minimally invasive treatment of vertebral fracture and metastases.

Abstract
Objective: To characterize the relations between the practice of parenting and associated factors on children (0-5 years old) in urban areas of China, in order to provide evidence for promoting the early development of children and to provide positive guidance and service programs on parenting. Methods: A total of 4 515 parents from 15 cities (14 provinces) were surveyed with a self-administered questionnaire. Parenting and Family Adjustment Scales (PAFAS) was used, including parameters as: consistency and coercive parenting, positive encouragement, parent-child relationship and parental emotion adjustment, family relationship and parental teamwork aspects, etc. Both single factor analysis and multiple linear regression were used to examine the associations between parenting practice, individual, parental and family factors. Results: The mean score of PAFAS was 21.00 (15.00-28.00), associated with factors as children's age, only-child family, premature delivery, father's education level, confidence on parenting, problems regarding the parental mood, annual family income, family structure and behavior on seeking professional help, etc. Results showed that there were big differences on the practice of parenting in China and influenced by variety of factors. Conclusions: The general situation of parenting was well, in the urban areas of China. The practice of parenting was associated with a series of individual, parental and family factors. Programs on improving the parenting skills and promoting the early development of children, should be highlighted.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect and safety of long-acting pegylated interferon-α-2b (Peg-IFN-α-2b) (Y shape, 40 kD) injection (180 μg/week) in the treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, with standard-dose Peg-IFN-α-2a as positive control. Methods: This study was a multicenter, randomized, open-label, and positive-controlled phase III clinical trial. Eligible HBeAg-positive CHB patients were screened out and randomized to Peg-IFN-α-2b (Y shape, 40 kD) trial group and Peg-IFN-α-2a control group at a ratio of 2:1. The course of treatment was 48 weeks and the patients were followed up for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Plasma samples were collected at screening, baseline, and 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 weeks for centralized detection. COBAS® Ampliprep/COBAS® TaqMan® HBV Test was used to measure HBV DNA level by quantitative real-time PCR. Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay with Elecsys kit was used to measure HBV markers (HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe). Adverse events were recorded in detail. The primary outcome measure was HBeAg seroconversion rate after the 24-week follow-up, and non-inferiority was also tested. The difference in HBeAg seroconversion rate after treatment between the trial group and the control group and two-sided confidence interval (CI) were calculated, and non-inferiority was demonstrated if the lower limit of 95% CI was > -10%. The t-test, chi-square test, or rank sum test was used according to the types and features of data. Results: A total of 855 HBeAg-positive CHB patients were enrolled and 820 of them received treatment (538 in the trial group and 282 in the control group). The data of the full analysis set showed that HBeAg seroconversion rate at week 72 was 27.32% in the trial group and 22.70% in the control group with a rate difference of 4.63% (95% CI -1.54% to 10.80%, P = 0.1493). The data of the per-protocol set showed that HBeAg seroconversion rate at week 72 was 30.75% in the trial group and 27.14% in the control group with a rate difference of 3.61% (95% CI -3.87% to 11.09%, P = 0.3436). 95% CI met the non-inferiority criteria, and the trial group was non-inferior to the control group. The two groups had similar incidence rates of adverse events, serious adverse events, and common adverse events. Conclusion: In Peg-IFN-α regimen for HBeAg-positive CHB patients, the new drug Peg-IFN-α-2b (Y shape, 40 kD) has comparable effect and safety to the control drug Peg-IFN-α-2a.

Abstract
Objective: To modify the individual neuroendoscopic surgical approach of pituitary tumors with specific imaging features, and to analyze the clinical outcomes. Methods: The clinical data of 116 patients with pituitary tumors who underwent surgical treatment at the pituitary tumor diagnosis and treatment center of Ruijin Hospital from April 2014 to December 2017 were collected, then the resection effects and complication rates of pituitary tumors from three different kinds of transsphenoidal approaches (e.g. classical single nostril approach, bilateral approach, "one-and-a-half" approach) were compared. Results: Pituitary tumor resection with "one-and-a-half" trans-nasal-sphenoidal approach achieved the same surgical effects with the bilateral approach, which was difficult to resect with the single-nostril classical approach. And it had significant advantages in the average length of postoperative hospitalization ( "one-and-a-half" : 6.9 days, bilateral: 12.5 days, P<0.01), the average postoperation VAS of olfactory retention ( "one-and-a-half" : 8.6, bilateral: 7.0, P<0.01) and preventing posterior nasal septum perforation (the occurrence rate of "one-and-a-half" : 0%, bilateral: 27%). Conclusion: The "one and a half" approach increases the ability to control and completely resect the lesion beyond the medial edge of the internal carotid artery on the same side of the nostril involving endoscope. It is a good supplement and improvement to the bilateral approach.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the indications and safety of orthopedic liver transplantation for polycystic liver disease (PLD). Methods: Data of 11 patients with PLD who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation between 2004 and 2013 was retrospectively analyzed. Demographic, clinical and follow-up data were collected for statistical analysis. The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Over a period of 10 years, the patients received modified piggyback orthopedic liver transplantation (n=9) or combined liver-kidney transplantation (n=2) for PLD. The recipients' median age was 56 years. Seven patients were classified as Gigot type Ⅱ PLD, and four were classified as Gigot type Ⅲ PLD. Eight patients had severe decreased mobility (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, ECOG≥3). Only three cases were Child-Pguh Class C patients and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was>20. The mean hospitalization duration was (45.4±15.3) days, and the mean length of stay in intensive care unit was (4.1±1.9) days. The perioperative mortality was 18.2% and morbidity of complications was 63.6%. The median follow-up period was 111 months. Two patients died of severe complications after combined liver-kidney transplantation. One patient died of ischemia cholangitis during follow-up. The actuarial 1-, 5-and 10-year survival rate during the follow-up period was 82.2%, 81.8%, and 65.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Liver transplantation is the only curative and safe procedure for PLD, and it provides a good long-term prognosis and high quality of life for PLD patients. Liver transplantation could be a primary option in treating progressive or advanced PLD.

Abstract
The Late Paleogene surface height and paleoenvironment for the core area of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) remain critically unresolved. Here, we report the discovery of the youngest well-preserved fossil palm leaves from Tibet. They were recovered from the Late Paleogene (Chattian), ca. 25.5 ± 0.5 million years, paleolake sediments within the Lunpola Basin (32.033°N, 89.767°E), central QTP at a present elevation of 4655 m. The anatomy of palms renders them intrinsically susceptible to freezing, imposing upper bounds on their latitudinal and altitudinal distribution. Combined with model-determined paleoterrestrial lapse rates, this shows that a high plateau cannot have existed in the core of Tibet in the Paleogene. Instead, a deep paleovalley, whose floor was <2.3 km above mean sea level bounded by (>4 km) high mountain systems, formed a topographically highly varied landscape. This finding challenges prevailing views on tectonic processes, monsoon dynamics, and the evolution of Asian biodiversity.
