Abstract
Objective: To study and explore the prevalence, characteristics, preliminary risk factors, as well as their relationship with nutritional scores in liver cirrhotic patient with chronic periodontitis. Methods: 163 patients with liver cirrhosis who were hospitalized in the Hepatology Division, Department of Internal Medicine at Tianjin Third Central Hospital from June to September 2018 were enrolled as the case group, while the control group consisted 140 healthy individuals enrolled during the same period. Periodontal examination, biochemical examination and oral hygiene habits were investigated. The prevalence of periodontitis in the two groups was compared, and the risk factors of severe periodontitis were conducted by multivariate regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of chronic periodontitis was significantly higher in patients with liver cirrhosis than healthy control population, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The prevalence of severe periodontitis and full edentulous jaws was significantly higher in patients with liver cirrhosis than healthy control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001). Compared with the healthy control group, the depth of periodontal pocket and the degree of attachment loss were significantly increased in the liver cirrhosis group (P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that liver cirrhosis was the independent risk factors for both groups of patients with severe periodontitis (χ (2) = 11.046, P < 0.001). Univariate and multivariate regression analysis showed that toothbrushing frequency, nutritional risk score, prealbumin level and Child-Pugh grade were independent risk factors for occurrence of severe periodontitis in liver cirrhotic patient (χ (2) = 5.252, P = 0.022; χ (2) = 24.162, P < 0.001; χ (2) = 4.159, P = 0.041; χ (2) = 9.249, P = 0.002). Conclusion: The prevalence of periodontitis is significantly higher in patients with liver cirrhosis than healthy individuals, and liver cirrhosis is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of severe periodontitis. Toothbrushing frequency, nutritional risk score, prealbumin level and Child-Pugh grade are risk factors for severe periodontitis in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
We report the properties of sodium (Na) and aluminum (Al) cosmic rays in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV based on 0.46 million sodium and 0.51 million aluminum nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. We found that Na and Al, together with nitrogen (N), belong to a distinct cosmic ray group. In this group, we observe that, similar to the N flux, both the Na flux and Al flux are well described by the sums of a primary cosmic ray component (proportional to the silicon flux) and a secondary cosmic ray component (proportional to the fluorine flux). The fraction of the primary component increases with rigidity for the N, Na, and Al fluxes and becomes dominant at the highest rigidities. The Na/Si and Al/Si abundance ratios at the source, 0.036±0.003 for Na/Si and 0.103±0.004 for Al/Si, are determined independent of cosmic ray propagation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The cartilage degeneration that accompanies subchondral bone necrosis plays an important role in the development of osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). To better understand the molecular basis of cartilage degradation in ONFH, we compared the proteomic profiles of ONFH cartilage with that of fracture control. DESIGN Hip cartilage samples were collected from 16 ONFH patients and 16 matched controls with femoral neck fracture. Proteomics analysis was conducted using tandem mass tag-based quantitation technique. Gene ontology (GO) analysis, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction analysis were used to investigate the functions of the altered proteins and biological pathways. Differentially expressed proteins including alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) and Cytokine-like protein 1 (Cytl1) were validated by Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS 303 differentially expressed proteins were identified in ONFH cartilage with 72 up-regulated and 231 down-regulated. Collagen turnover, glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, metabolic pathways, and complement and coagulation cascades were significantly modified in ONFH cartilage. WB and IHC confirmed the increased expression of AHSG and decreased expression of Cytl1 in ONFH cartilage. CONCLUSIONS Our results reveal the implication of altered protein expression in the development of ONFH, and provide novel clues for pathogenesis studies of cartilage degradation in ONFH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ceramide is a lipid molecule that regulates life activities such as cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and aging. However, whether ceramide plays a role in the intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is not clear. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of ceramide during the nucleus pulposus (NP) cells degeneration. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used human NP cells and passaged them until the fourth generation to analyze the content of ceramide. Cell-permeable C6-ceramide was used to upregulate ceramide expression, and myriocin was used to inhibit the accumulation of ceramide. To understand the relation between p38MAPK and ceramide, SB203580 was used to inhibit the activation of p38MAPK. We tested the viability of NP cells by the detection of collagen II and p16 expression, the proliferation, and the apoptosis of NP cells. RESULTS Ceramide content was increased in NP cells from passage 1 (P1) to P4. The upregulation of ceramide accelerated the P1 NP cell degeneration by the reduction of collagen II production and proliferative cells population, increased p16 expression, and apoptotic cells population. However, the suppression of ceramide delayed the degeneration of P4 NP cells in the previous aspects. The accumulation of ceramide activated the phosphorylation of p38MAPK, and the inhibition of p38MAPK activation also alleviated the C6-ceramide-induced NP cell degeneration. CONCLUSIONS Ceramide accumulates during NP cell degradation, and the upregulated ceramide contributes to the NP cells degeneration by p38MAPK activation.

Abstract
SLC2A3 is a membrane transporter that belongs to the solute carrier family, whose function includes transmembrane transport and glucose transmembrane transport activity. To clarify the expression and role of SLC2A3 in colorectal cancer (CRC), we analyzed the TCGA and GEO databases and found that SLC2A3 mRNA levels were significantly higher in CRC tissues than that in adjacent non-tumor tissues. Furthermore, high expression of SLC2A3 predicted poor overall survival and disease free survival for CRC patients. For validation, we collected 174 CRC samples and found that SLC2A3 expression was higher in CRC tissues than that in adjacent non-tumor colorectal mucosa tissues by immunohistochemistry staining. Further study showed that high expression of SLC2A3 was enriched in epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) classical pathway, interferon-γ pathway by GSEA analysis enrichment, indicating that SLC2A3 may play a key role in the progression of CRC through EMT and immune response, which also has been validated by the global gene expression profiling of human CRC cell lines. The expression of SLC2A3 was positively correlated with CD4 and CD8+T cells by using TIMER and EPIC algorithm, respectively. SLC2A3 knockdown suppressed migration and inhibited the expression of Vimentin and MMP9 in CRC cell line SW480 and RKO. Meanwhile, PD-L1 expression was also significantly attenuated in SW480 and RKO cells transfected with SLC2A3 siRNA. The result suggests that SLC2A3 may be involved in the immune response of CRC by regulating PD-L1 immune checkpoint. In our series, SLC2A3 and PD-L1 positive expression was 74% (128/174) and 22% (39/174) of CRC, respectively. SLC2A3 expression was significantly associated with perineural invasion in CRC patients. In conclusion, SLC2A3 may play an important role in progression of CRC by regulating EMT and PD-L1 mediated immune responses.

Abstract
Haldane’s rule of speciation states that sterility or inviability affects the heterogametic sex of inter-species hybrids. Darwin’s corollary to Haldane’s rule implies that there are asymmetric phenotypes in inter-species hybrids from reciprocal crosses. Studying the phenotypes of F1 hybrids among closely related species of malaria mosquitoes can assist researchers in identifying the genetic factors and molecular mechanisms of speciation. To characterize phenotypes of sterile hybrid males in the Anopheles gambiae complex, we performed crosses between laboratory strains of An. merus and either An. gambiae or An. coluzzii. The reproductive tracts had normal external morphology in hybrid males from crosses between female An. merus and male An. gambiae or An. coluzzii. Despite being sterile, these males could copulate with females for a normal period of time and could transfer a mating plug to induce female oviposition and monogamy. In contrast, the entire reproductive tracts in hybrid males from crosses between female An. gambiae or An. coluzzii and male An. merus were severely underdeveloped. These males had atrophic testes and reduced somatic organs of the reproductive system including male accessary glands and ejaculatory duct. In addition, hybrid males with underdeveloped reproductive tracts displayed a shorter copulation time with females and failed to induce female oviposition and monogamy due to their inability to form and transfer a plug to females during mating. The asymmetry of the phenotypes associated with hybrid male sterility suggests that different genetic factors and molecular mechanisms are responsible for reproductive isolation in reciprocal crosses among species of the An. gambiae complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with hypercoagulability. We sought to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of cerebral venous thrombosis among patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at 6 tertiary care centers in the New York City metropolitan area. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study of 13,500 consecutive patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized between March 1 and May 30, 2020. RESULTS Of 13,500 patients with COVID-19, twelve had imaging-proved cerebral venous thrombosis with an incidence of 8.8 per 10,000 during 3 months, which is considerably higher than the reported incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis in the general population of 5 per million annually. There was a male preponderance (8 men, 4 women) and an average age of 49 years (95% CI, 36-62 years; range, 17-95 years). Only 1 patient (8%) had a history of thromboembolic disease. Neurologic symptoms secondary to cerebral venous thrombosis occurred within 24 hours of the onset of the respiratory and constitutional symptoms in 58% of cases, and 75% had venous infarction, hemorrhage, or both on brain imaging. Management consisted of anticoagulation, endovascular thrombectomy, and surgical hematoma evacuation. The mortality rate was 25%. CONCLUSIONS Early evidence suggests a higher-than-expected frequency of cerebral venous thrombosis among patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Cerebral venous thrombosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of neurologic syndromes associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of the water-saving irrigation project on Oncomelania hupensis snail control in hilly regions of Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. METHODS A retrospective survey combined with cross-sectional investigation was employed. The implementation of the water-saving irrigation development project in Yixing City from 2005 to 2007 was retrospectively collected, and the snail status was collected in regions where the water-saving irrigation project was located and the project-affected regions from 2003 to 2018, to examine the effect of the project on snail control. In addition, a cross-sectional survey was performed to investigate the destruction of the water-saving irrigation project in 2018. RESULTS A total of 22 water-saving irrigation projects were implemented in 5 townships in hilly regions of Yixing City from 2005 to 2007, where snail habitats were treated covering 266.97 hm2. Before the implementation of the project from 2003 to 2006, cumulative 47.87 hm2 snail habitats were detected in regions where the project was located, and no snails were found in regions where the project was located from the implementation of the project in 2006 to 2018. However, a few snails were found in the project-affected regions in 2017 and 2018. In addition, there were problems found in the later-stage maintenance and management of the project. CONCLUSIONS The water-saving irrigation projects shows a high efficiency on snail control in hilly regions of Yixing City. The later-stage maintenance of the project and monitoring of snails remain to be intensified to enhance the snail control efficiency of the water-saving irrigation project.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of mocetinostat on diminishing epidural fibrosis. Dysregulated wound repair usually occurs after injury or surgery and is featured by excessive scar tissue contributed by fibrosis. Increasing researches demonstrated that histone acetylation, an epigenetic alteration, plays a crucial role in fibrosis. However, the mechanism of the complicated process remains unclear. In the current study, the effect of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor mocetinostat in a rat model of epidural fibrosis was detected, and it was discovered that mocetinostat suppressed myofibroblast activation and increased apoptosis by reducing Akt/GSK3b signaling. PATIENTS AND METHODS First, the levels of histone acetylation in the patients' epidural fibroblasts were analyzed. Then, mRNAs and proteins obtained from human fibroblasts following TGF-β activation and mocetinostat treatment in vitro were used to examine the influence of mocetinostat on the activation and survival of fibroblasts, so as to explore the related mechanism of mocetinostat. The laminectomy model was established in rats to observe the therapeutic effect of mocetinostat on epidural scar tissues. RESULTS In this research, it was found that the increase of HDAC1 in human dura scar was accompanied by the aggravation of fibrosis. In addition, cell assay demonstrated that mocetinostat inhibited fibroblast activation and accelerated apoptosis by inhibiting Akt/GSK3b pathway. In the rat model, mocetinostat weakened scar hyperplasia and collagen deposition and effectively inhibited the process of epidural fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS The above results indicate that mocetinostat inhibits HDAC1 expression and decreases the conduction of the AKT/GSK3b pathway in fibroblasts, leading to myofibroblast activation and apoptosis elevation. Hence, mocetinostat ameliorates epidural fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis belong to the Anopheles gambiae complex and are among the major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. However, chromosome-level reference genome assemblies are still lacking for these medically important mosquito species. FINDINGS In this study, we produced de novo chromosome-level genome assemblies for A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis using the long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology and the Hi-C scaffolding approach. We obtained 273.4 and 256.8 Mb of the total assemblies for A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis, respectively. Each assembly consists of 3 chromosome-scale scaffolds (X, 2, 3), complete mitochondrion, and unordered contigs identified as autosomal pericentromeric DNA, X pericentromeric DNA, and Y sequences. Comparison of these assemblies with the existing assemblies for these species demonstrated that we obtained improved reference-quality genomes. The new assemblies allowed us to identify genomic coordinates for the breakpoint regions of fixed and polymorphic chromosomal inversions in A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis. CONCLUSION The new chromosome-level assemblies will facilitate functional and population genomic studies in A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis. The presented assembly pipeline will accelerate progress toward creating high-quality genome references for other disease vectors.

Abstract
Precise knowledge of the charge and rigidity dependence of the secondary cosmic ray fluxes and the secondary-to-primary flux ratios is essential in the understanding of cosmic ray propagation. We report the properties of heavy secondary cosmic ray fluorine F in the rigidity R range 2.15 GV to 2.9 TV based on 0.29 million events collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. The fluorine spectrum deviates from a single power law above 200 GV. The heavier secondary-to-primary F/Si flux ratio rigidity dependence is distinctly different from the lighter B/O (or B/C) rigidity dependence. In particular, above 10 GV, the F/Si/B/O ratio can be described by a power law R^{δ} with δ=0.052±0.007. This shows that the propagation properties of heavy cosmic rays, from F to Si, are different from those of light cosmic rays, from He to O, and that the secondary cosmic rays have two classes.

Abstract
We report the observation of new properties of primary iron (Fe) cosmic rays in the rigidity range 2.65 GV to 3.0 TV with 0.62×10^{6} iron nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. Above 80.5 GV the rigidity dependence of the cosmic ray Fe flux is identical to the rigidity dependence of the primary cosmic ray He, C, and O fluxes, with the Fe/O flux ratio being constant at 0.155±0.006. This shows that unexpectedly Fe and He, C, and O belong to the same class of primary cosmic rays which is different from the primary cosmic rays Ne, Mg, and Si class.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression and mechanism of miR-17 in gastric lym-phoma. miR-17mimics, miR-17 inhibitors and negative controls were transfected into human gastric lymphoma cell line cyp6d. The proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of cyp6d cells were detected by CCK-8, Transwell and TUNEL methods, respectively. The expression and clinicopathological features of miR-17 in gastric lymphoma were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR. The target gene of miR-17 was predicted by targetscan 7.2, and the expression of miR-17 related protein was detected by Western blot. The results showed that the expression of miR-17 in gastric lymphoma was significantly higher than that in normal tissues (P < 0.05), which was closely related to lymph node metastasis, tumor size and distant metastasis (P < 0.05). The high expression of miR-17 significantly promoted the proliferation and invasion of cyp6d cells and inhibited apoptosis (P < 0.05). The high expression of miR-17 can regu¬late the expression of HSP60 and TNFR2. It has been found that miR-17 can promote the development of gastric lymphoma by regulating HSP60/TNFR2 pathway, which is a potential molecular target for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric lymphoma.
