Abstract
Electric vehicle (EV) adoption promises potential air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction co-benefits. As such, China has aggressively incentivized EV adoption, however much remains unknown with regard to EVs' mitigation potential, including optimal vehicle type prioritization, power generation contingencies, effects of Clean Air regulations, and the ability of EVs to reduce acute impacts of extreme air quality events. Here, we present a suite of scenarios with a chemistry transport model that assess the potential co-benefits of EVs during an extreme winter air quality event. We find that regardless of power generation source, heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) electrification consistently improves air quality in terms of NO2 and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), potentially avoiding 562 deaths due to acute pollutant exposure during the infamous January 2013 pollution episode (~1% of total premature mortality). However, HDV electrification does not reduce GHG emissions without enhanced emission-free electricity generation. In contrast, due to differing emission profiles, light-duty vehicle (LDV) electrification in China consistently reduces GHG emissions (~2 Mt CO2), but results in fewer air quality and human health improvements (145 avoided deaths). The calculated economic impacts for human health endpoints and CO2 reductions for LDV electrification are nearly double those of HDV electrification in present-day (155M vs. 87M US$), but are within ~25% when enhanced emission-free generation is used to power them. Overall, we find only a modest benefit for EVs to ameliorate severe wintertime pollution events, and that continued emission reductions in the power generation sector will have the greatest human health and economic benefits.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease that frequently occurs in the older population, particularly in postmenopausal women. It severely compromises the health of the older population, and the drugs commonly used to treat osteoporosis have a variety of adverse effects. Lactoferrin (LF) is a protein present in milk that has recently been found to exhibit osteogenic activity. Lactoferrin is nontoxic and harmless, suggesting that it may have excellent biocompatibility and tolerability after human consumption. Oral consumption of LF in an ovariectomized rat model has been found to ameliorate osteoporosis. However, the mechanism underlying this effect remains to be clarified. In this study, bovine LF (bLF) was first hydrolyzed by pepsin for 1 h, and the hydrolyzed mixture was freeze-dried and collected. The hydrolyzed mixture was then separated into 5 components (E1-E5), of which E3 had the greatest effect in promoting proliferation of osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1). Component E3 was further isolated into 21 components with preparative reversed phase HPLC, and the E3-15 component had maximal bioactivity. With HPLC-mass spectrometry and peptide sequencing, E3-15 was identified to contain amino acids 97 to 208 from the bLF N terminus. Then, E3-15 was divided into 6 different peptide segments (P1-P6), and the corresponding segments were generated by solid-phase synthesis. Only the P1 peptide (amino acids 97-122 from the N terminus of bLF) significantly promoted osteoblast proliferation. The bioactivity of P1 toward osteoblast cells and alkaline phosphatase activity were tested as a function of P1 concentration, and a nonlinear effect was observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thionamide-induced agranulocytosis (TIA), namely antithyroid drug (ATD)-induced agranulocytosis, is one of the most feared adverse effect of ATDs. It is defined as a granulocyte count of less than 0.5 × 109/L after ATD administration. Several studies reported that TIA is associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and nearby genes. Our previous study found that the susceptibility genes of TIA are similar in north China and European populations. METHODS We evaluated the associations of 23 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 37 patients with TIA and 254 patients with Graves' disease (GD) as controls by iPLEX MassARRAY system. RESULTS Five SNPs in the MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A(MICA) genes [rs4349859 (p = 1.43E-7); rs145575084 (p = 5.79E-6); rs116135464 (p = 3.70E-5); rs148015908 (p = 3.79E-5) and rs189600525 (p = 2.15E-4)] were found to be significantly associated with TIA after Bonferroni correction. After combining with previous data of rs4349859 and HLA-B*27:05, the haplotype analysis showed that patients carrying P-A-C-A-T-T-A haplotype have a higher risk of TIA (p = 9.76E-7; OR = 14.85, 95% CI 3.63-60.77). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that five high linked SNPs of MICA gene are significantly associated with susceptibility to TIA.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of the pregnancy morbidity and mortality over the world. Disorganized placentation caused by trophoblast cell abnormity is one of main risk factors to induce PE. MiR-133a-3p has been shown to contain regulatory effects on oxidative stress in the cardiomyocytes. But the effects of miR-133a-3p on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in the trophoblast cells remain unknown. In this study, trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells were transfected with miR-133a-3p mimics and inhibitor. H2O2 (250 microM) treatment of cells was adopted to induce oxidative stress. A series of typical molecular and cellular experiments was subsequently performed in order to investigate this issue. It was found that miR-133a-3p overexpression attenuated the oxidative stress induced by H2O2 through reduced ROS and MDA levels and enhanced antioxidase activities in the trophoblast cells. Overexpressed miR-133a-3p was shown to relieve the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of HTR-8/SVneo cells. At molecular levels, a direct binding effect of miR-133a-3p on BACH1 was verified. Moreover, miR-133a-3p overexpression also enhanced BACH1 downstream Nrf2/HO-1 signaling to activate antioxidant genes. It is collectively demonstrated that miR-133a-3p can relieve the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in the trophoblast cells through the BACH1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway via targeting BACH1 directly. This regulatory mechanism of miR-133a-3p in the trophoblast cells under oxidative stress may give a new perspective for oxidative stress-induced trophoblast cell abnormality and be useful to study more pathological mechanisms of PE.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTC) are shed by cancer into the bloodstream, where a viable subset overcomes oxidative stress to initiate metastasis. We show that single CTCs from patients with melanoma coordinately upregulate lipogenesis and iron homeostasis pathways. These are correlated with both intrinsic and acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors across clonal cultures of BRAF-mutant CTCs. The lipogenesis regulator SREBP2 directly induces transcription of the iron carrier Transferrin (TF), reducing intracellular iron pools, reactive oxygen species, and lipid peroxidation, thereby conferring resistance to inducers of ferroptosis. Knockdown of endogenous TF impairs tumor formation by melanoma CTCs, and their tumorigenic defects are partially rescued by the lipophilic antioxidants ferrostatin-1 and vitamin E. In a prospective melanoma cohort, presence of CTCs with high lipogenic and iron metabolic RNA signatures is correlated with adverse clinical outcome, irrespective of treatment regimen. Thus, SREBP2-driven iron homeostatic pathways contribute to cancer progression, drug resistance, and metastasis. SIGNIFICANCE: Through single-cell analysis of primary and cultured melanoma CTCs, we have uncovered intrinsic cancer cell heterogeneity within lipogenic and iron homeostatic pathways that modulates resistance to BRAF inhibitors and to ferroptosis inducers. Activation of these pathways within CTCs is correlated with adverse clinical outcome, pointing to therapeutic opportunities.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 521.

Abstract
From fireflies to cardiac cells, synchronization governs important aspects of nature, and the Kuramoto model is the staple for research in this area. We show that generalizing the model to oscillators of dimensions higher than 2 and introducing a positive feedback mechanism between the coupling and the global order parameter leads to a rich and novel scenario: the synchronization transition is explosive at all even dimensions, whilst it is mediated by a time-dependent, rhythmic, state at all odd dimensions. Such a latter circumstance, in particular, differs from all other time-dependent states observed so far in the model. We provide the analytic description of this novel state, which is fully corroborated by numerical calculations. Our results can, therefore, help untangle secrets of observed time-dependent swarming and flocking dynamics that unfold in three dimensions, and where this novel state could thus provide a fresh perspective for as yet not understood formations.

Abstract
Hepatic inflammatory response is a risk factor for liver cancer initiation and progression. Interleukin (IL)-35 is the newest member of the IL-12 cytokine family, and has been reported to play an essential role in the immunosuppressive liver microenvironment. Herein we focus on the expression profiles of IL-35 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and effects on local immune status. HCC transcriptome array data were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Analysis was performed by BRB-Array Tools and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software. Serum IL-35 level was detected by AimPlet bead-based immunoassay. In-situ IL-35 detection was performed by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot. The n-vitro effect of IL-35 on CD4+ or CD8+ T cell function was detected by flow cytometry. Our results showed that there were large amounts of IL-35 expressed in HCC serum and tumor tissues. IL-35 expression affects the transcript of thousands of genes, most differentially expressed genes (DEGs), in tumor tissues correlated with T cell immunity. The IL-35 high-expression group exhibited enhancement of regulatory T cells (Tregs ) and impairment of cytolytic T cells. In-vitro experiments proved that exogenous IL-35 stimulated the expression of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG3) in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. In addition, the stimulating effect was time-dependent. Furthermore, IL-35 inhibited interferon (IFN)-γ secretion by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Elevated IL-35 had an immune suppressive role in HCC tumor microenvironments through affecting inhibitor receptor expression and cytokine secretion of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Dissection of the precise targets and underlying molecular mechanisms would mean alternative treatments for HCC patients.

Abstract
We have successfully grown centimeter-sized layered [Formula: see text] single crystals under high oxygen pressures of 120-150 bar by the floating zone technique. This enabled us to perform neutron scattering experiments where we observe close to quarter-integer magnetic peaks below [Formula: see text] that are accompanied by steep upwards dispersing spin excitations. Within the high-frequency Ni-O bond stretching phonon dispersion, a softening at the propagation vector for a checkerboard modulation can be observed. We were able to simulate the magnetic excitation spectra using a model that includes two essential ingredients, namely checkerboard charge disproportionation and nano phase separation. The results thus suggest that charge disproportionation is preferred instead of a Jahn-Teller distortion even for this layered [Formula: see text] system.

Abstract
Novel duck reovirus (NDRV), the prototype strain of avian orthoreoviruses, continues to circulate among ducks. Analysis of its genome suggested that a putative second open reading frame in the S1 segment encodes a 162-amino acid nonstructural protein with size of 18 kDa, provisionally designated P18. This protein is different from the 17 kDa nonstructural protein encoded in the same open reading frame in other avian orthoreoviruses, which is designated P17 and consists of 146 amino acids. There is no corresponding protein in Muscovy duck reovirus. Antibodies raised to the purified recombinant protein reacted with viral P18 both in vitro and in vivo. In cells, P18 was located predominantly in the nucleus at 6-12 h post-infection, with negligible levels in the cytoplasm. However, the protein accumulated both in the nucleus and cytoplasm at 24 to 36 h post-infection. Immunohistochemistry indicated that P18 strongly accumulates in spleen tissues of infected ducklings. Collectively, the data provide the direct experimental evidence that P18 is expressed by novel duck reovirus both in vivo and in vitro. Keywords: duck reovirus; expression; characterization; novel P18 protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DTI has been proved valuable for the diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy, whereas its capacity for predicting the outcome of surgery is still under debate. Here we conduct a prospective cohort study to analyze the capacity of DTI for evaluating and predicting laminoplasty surgery outcome for degenerative cervical myelopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited 55 patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy who underwent DTI before surgery and at 3- and 6-month follow-up stages, and 20 healthy subjects. For clinical assessment, the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale was recorded for each patient at different stages. DTI metrics were compared between patients before surgery and healthy subjects. Spearman correlation and receiver operating characteristic were used to analyze the evaluation and prediction capacity of DTI for the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale, respectively. We analyzed different vertebral levels: maximal compression level, average of all compression levels, and C2 level. RESULTS DTI metrics were significantly different between patients before surgery and healthy subjects. Before surgery, DTI for the maximal compression level or DTI for the average of all compression levels had no significant correlation with the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale. For all stages, DTI at the C2 level was correlated with the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale. DTI metrics at the C2 level before surgery were significantly correlated with the postoperative modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale recovery rate. Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that fractional anisotropy at C2 was capable of predicting the postoperative modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale recovery rate (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS The DTI metrics before laminoplasty surgery, especially fractional anisotropy at the C2 level, have the potential for evaluating and predicting the degenerative cervical myelopathy surgery outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper aims to investigate the correlation of lipid peroxide in erythrocytes and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) enzyme activity of erythrocyte membrane with fetal distress in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-three patients with ICP treated at Jining No. 1 People's Hospital were enrolled as a study group, and another forty healthy parturient women in the same period were enrolled as a control group, to extract their elbow venous blood and fetal umbilical cord blood. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) was used to detect superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of erythrocytes, malondialdehyde (MDA) activity in plasma, Na+-K+-ATP enzyme activity and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP enzyme activity of erythrocytes, which were compared between the study and control groups. The correlation of MDA, Na+-K+-ATP enzyme and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP enzyme activities with fetal distress in the study group was analyzed, and the correlation of MDA with Na+-K+-ATP enzyme activity was investigated. RESULTS SOD and MDA activities of erythrocytes in maternal blood of the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05, p<0.001, respectively), but MDA activity in umbilical cord blood of the study group was markedly higher than that in the control group (p<0.001). Na+-K+-ATP enzyme and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP enzyme activities of maternal and fetal erythrocytes of the study group were remarkably lower than those of the control group (p<0.001). MDA in the fetal distress group was significantly higher than that in the no fetal distress group in the study group (p<0.001). Na+-K+-ATP enzyme activity was negatively correlated with MDA concentration in maternal and fetal erythrocytes of patients with ICP (both p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Lipid peroxidation in patients with ICP will affect ATP enzyme activity of erythrocyte membrane, and the down-regulation of ATP enzyme activity in umbilical cord blood of patients with ICP may cause fetal distress in the uterus.
