Abstract
Objective To derive the formulae for likelihood ratio (LR) calculation of half sibling relationships when both mothers participate. Methods Based on the fact that both biological mothers participate in the identification of half sibling relationship between the two individuals, test hypothesis for the identification of half sibling relationship was established. Conditional probability ratios of genetic evidence under null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis conditions were simplified, and then applied to a real case of half sibling relationship identification. At the same time, the LR of half sibling relationships under the assumption that only a single biological mother or none of the biological mothers participate were respectively calculated. Results In the cases of identification of half sibling relationship from same fathers, with no biological father involved, after the same genetic indicator test analysis, when both biological mothers participate in the identification, the accumulated LR value was higher than that of accumulated LR with only a single biological mother or no parents participating. Conclusion When the autosome STR test is used for the identification and analysis of half sibling relationship between two individuals, the calculation of LR is more simple, intuitive and operable with both mothers participating. The biological mothers should participate in the test as much as possible, otherwise the number of STR loci would need to be increased for a more specific conclusion.

Abstract
Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics and therapeutic effects between simultaneous bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss(Si-BSSHL) and unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss(USSHL). Method:The clinical data of 27 cases of Si-BSSHL were retrospectively analyzed, including the characteristics of the disease, clinical manifestations, audiological examination, hematological examination, and therapeutic effect, and compared with those of 139 cases of USSHL. Result:There was a statistically significant difference in the age(65.85±9.17 vs 56.95±13.18, P<0.01) and no significant difference in sex ratio(P>0.05) between the two groups. The proportion of Si-BSSHL patients with vertigo, ear fullness, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke had no statistical difference compared with those of USSHL(P>0.05), the proportion of patients with tinnitus in Si-BSSHL group was significantly lower than that in USSHL group(P<0.05). The distribution of hearing loss degree and the type of audiometry in Si-BSSHL group were significantly different from those in USSHL group, PTA before treatment and the proportion of profound hearing loss in Si-BSSHL group was significantly lower than that in USSHL group(P<0.05), descending audiometry type was more common in Si-BSSHL group compared to USSHL(P<0.01). Fibrinogen in Si-BSSHL group was significantly higher than that in USSHL group(P<0.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups with respect to mean platelet volume, blood lipid and folic acid(P>0.05). The total treatment effective rate in Si-BSSHL group was 44.44%, while that in USSHL group was 41.73%, there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion:Si-BSSHL has a female preponderance and tends to occur in advanced age in our cohort. Compared to USSHL patients, Si-BSSHL patients have less profound hearing loss and more descending audiograms, and the proportion of patients with extremely severe deafness is relatively small. There is no significant difference in the therapeutic effect between the two groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims to investigate whether Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA)-UCA1 can regulate the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) by mediating a-synuclein (SNCA) expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS PD mouse model was first constructed by intraperitoneal injection of MPTP. SH-SY5Y cells were treated with MPP+ for inducing in vitro PD model. Expression levels of lncRNA-UCA1 and SNCA in brain tissues extracted from PD mice and MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Protein expression of SNCA was accessed by Western blot. After transfection of pcDNA-NC+DMSO, pcDNA-UCA1+DMSO, pcDNA-NC+α-amantin or pcDNA-UCA1+α-amanitin in SH-SY5Y cells, SNCA expression was detected. Cell viability and SNCA expression were determined after UCA1 overexpression or knockdown in SH-SY5Y cells. Neuronal apoptosis in MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells was detected by flow cytometry after the UCA1 knockdown. RESULTS UCA1 and SNCA were highly expressed in brain tissues extracted from PD mice and MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells. UCA1 overexpression remarkably upregulated mRNA and protein expressions of SNCA in SH-SY5Y cells. Higher viability was seen after the UCA1 knockdown in MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells. UCA1 knockdown remarkably inhibited caspase-3 activity and decreased MPP+-induced neuronal apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA-UCA1 promotes the occurrence and progression of PD by upregulating SNCA expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluating children's oral health status and treatment needs is challenging. We aim to build oral health assessment toolkits to predict Children's Oral Health Status Index (COHSI) score and referral for treatment needs (RFTN) of oral health. Parent and Child toolkits consist of short-form survey items (12 for children and 8 for parents) with and without children's demographic information (7 questions) to predict the child's oral health status and need for treatment. METHODS Data were collected from 12 dental practices in Los Angeles County from 2015 to 2016. We predicted COHSI score and RFTN using random Bootstrap samples with manually introduced Gaussian noise together with machine learning algorithms, such as Extreme Gradient Boosting and Naive Bayesian algorithms (using R). The toolkits predicted the probability of treatment needs and the COHSI score with percentile (ranking). The performance of the toolkits was evaluated internally and externally by residual mean square error (RMSE), correlation, sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS The toolkits were developed based on survey responses from 545 families with children aged 2 to 17 y. The sensitivity and specificity for predicting RFTN were 93% and 49% respectively with the external data. The correlation(s) between predicted and clinically determined COHSI was 0.88 (and 0.91 for its percentile). The RMSEs of the COHSI toolkit were 4.2 for COHSI (and 1.3 for its percentile). CONCLUSIONS Survey responses from children and their parents/guardians are predictive for clinical outcomes. The toolkits can be used by oral health programs at baseline among school populations. The toolkits can also be used to quantify differences between pre- and post-dental care program implementation. The toolkits' predicted oral health scores can be used to stratify samples in oral health research. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT This study creates the oral health toolkits that combine self- and proxy- reported short forms with children's demographic characteristics to predict children's oral health and treatment needs using Machine Learning algorithms. The toolkits can be used by oral health programs at baseline among school populations to quantify differences between pre and post dental care program implementation. The toolkits can also be used to stratify samples according to the treatment needs and oral health status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of ketamine on autophagy and apoptosis of astrocytes in the cerebral cortex of rats, and determine whether nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway is involved in the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis of astrocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (Group C: intraperitoneal injection of equal amount of normal saline), glutamic acid group (Group G: intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg glutamic acid) and glutamic acid + ketamine group (Group GK: intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg glutamic acid and then injection of 5 mg/kg ketamine after 30 min). The cerebral cortex of rats in each group was taken after successive administration for 5 d. The number of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells in the cerebral cortex of rats in each group was detected via immunofluorescence. The number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells (apoptotic cells) in the cerebral cortex was detected via TUNEL staining. The levels of inflammatory factors were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Moreover, the expressions of autophagy-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins in the cerebral cortex were detected via Western blotting, and the expressions of IκB-a and NF-κBp65 were also detected. RESULTS The results of immunofluorescence showed that the number of GFAP-positive cells in the cerebral cortex of rats in Group G was significantly increased compared with that in Group C (p<0.01), and it was significantly decreased in Group GK compared with that in Group G (p<0.01). The results of TUNEL staining revealed that the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the cerebral cortex in Group G was significantly larger than that in Group C, and it was significantly smaller in Group GK than that in Group G (p<0.01). Results of ELISA demonstrated that compared with those in Group C, the contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) in Group G were significantly increased (p<0.01), but the content of IL-10 was significantly decreased (p<0.01). Compared with those in Group G, the contents of IL-6 and TNF-a in Group GK were significantly decreased (p<0.01), but the level of IL-10 was statistically elevated (p<0.01). Compared with those in Group C, the levels of LC3 II/I and cleaved caspase-3 in the cerebral cortex in Group G were significantly increased (p<0.01), but the p62 level and B-cell lymphoma-2/Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bcl-2/Bax) ratio were significantly decreased (p<0.01). In Group GK, the levels of LC3 II/I and cleaved caspase-3 were reduced, but the p62 level and Bcl-2/Bax ratio were increased. The expressions of IκB-α and NF-κBp65 in Group G were significantly decreased compared with those in Group C (p<0.01), and they were significantly higher in Group GK than those in Group G (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Ketamine can reduce the glutamic acid-induced activation of astrocytes in the cerebral cortex, inhibit the autophagy and alleviate the apoptosis of astrocytes, the process of which is mediated by the NF-κB pathway, which provides the new molecular basis of ketamine in protecting astrocytes.

Abstract
Objective: To establish experimental porcine model of reconstruction the neobladder by ileal seromuscular with transplantation of autologous peritoneum. Methods: This was an animal experiment carried out from January to April 2018 at animal center of Guizhou Medical University. Randomly 6 experimental female porcines were chosen, and their body weight was 28 to 33 kg. By intravenous anesthesia, the transplantation of autologous peritoneum for bladder reconstruction operation was carried out by transplanting the peritoneum onto an ileum segment which mucosa and submucosa had been removed. These flaps were used to mend and reconstruct the neobladder by suturing with edge of the detective bladder. After removal of ureteral catheters and balloon catheter at day 5 and day 7 respectively, voiding behavior was monitored, and animals were euthanized at week 12 for routine pathology, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopic examinations. Results: Six porcines underwent reconstruction, but no one lost to complications such as peritonitis, ileus and urinary fistula. Voiding behavior was normal, and urine was clear in all animals after removal of catheters. At autopsy, reconstructed bladders were healthy. Pathological examination showed the part of reconstruction had been covered by continuous urothelium while the peritoneum disappeared and showed no ileal mucosa regrowth and residual. Scanning electron microscope showed that the transitional cells of neobladder were complete and orderly, and urothelium around suture border was continuous and no malposition. Conclusion: In this experimental porcine model, reconstruction bladder by autologous peritoneum and ileal seromuscular flaps is an ideal approach.

Abstract
1. CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs), as a family of transcription factors, consists of six functionally and structurally related proteins which share a conserved basic leucine zipper (bZIP) DNA-binding domain. The aim of this study was to clone the full-length coding sequences (CDS) of C/EBP-α and -β genes, and determine the abundance of these two genes in various tissues of white king pigeon (C. livia). 2. The complete cDNA sequences of C/EBP-α and -β genes were cloned from pigeons by using PCR combined with rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The sequences were bioinformatically analysed, and the tissue distribution determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). 3. The results showed that the full-length cDNA sequences of pigeon C/EBP-α and -β genes were 2,807bp and 1,778bp, respectively. The open reading frames of C/EBP-α (978 bp) and -β (987bp) encoded 325 amino acids and 328 amino acids, respectively. The pigeon C/EBP-α and C/EBP-β proteins were predicted to have a conserved basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain, which is a common structure feature of the C/EBP family. Multiple sequence alignments indicated that pigeon C/EBP-α and -β shared more than 90% amino-acid identity with their corresponding homologues in other avian species. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these two proteins were highly conserved across different species and evolutionary processes. QRT-PCR results indicated that the pigeon C/EBP-α and -β mRNA transcripts were expressed in all investigated organs. The mRNA expression levels of pigeon C/EBP-α in descending order, were in spleen, heart, liver, lung, kidney and muscle. The pigeon C/EBP-β gene had the most abundant expression in lung, followed by the kidney, with minimal expression detected in muscle. 4. This study investigated the full-length cDNA sequences, genetic characteristics and tissue distribution of pigeon C/EBP-α and -β genes and found that they may have functions in various tissues of pigeon. This provides a foundation for further study for regulatory mechanisms of these two genes in birds.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor of digestive system. D2 procedure is recognized as the standard operation for advanced gastric cancer at present. However, controversies still exist in the standardization and quality control of surgical procedures. Total mesorectal excision (TME) and complete mesocolic excision (CME) based on the membrane anatomy perfectly solve these problems in the treatment for colorectal cancer. However, the complexity of mesogastrium determines that TME and CME cannot be easily transplanted to the treatment of gastric cancer. The practical membrane anatomy in gastric cancer surgery is just emerging and its impact on the treatment of gastric cancer is immeasurable. By reviewing the evolution and embryonic development of digestive system, and combining with actual operation, this paper analyzes and redefines several key issues such as traditional Toldt space, Gerota fascia and complete mesenteric excision. On this basis, we propose a novel and feasible surgical procedure named regional en bloc mesogastrium excision (rEME) for distal gastric cancer. The concept of en bloc mesogastrium excision (EME) based on membrane anatomy may have some influences on the lymph node grouping from the 'Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma'. Performance of EME may reduce the controversies about the group of lymph nodes and their borders. EME in the infra-pyloric region weakens the significance of subdivision of No.6 lymph nodes into No.6a, No.6v and No.6i. More studies are needed in the construction of a mature theoretical system for practical membrane anatomy in gastric surgery.

Abstract
For solid-state phase transitions, the alterations of electronic structure driven by the band Jahn-Teller effect would play an essential role in the structural phase transitions and in switching the resistivity or magnetization states for potential applications. However, this evolution of the electronic structure and electronic transport during the martensitic transformations (MT) still lacks comprehensive investigations, especially in magnetic martensitic materials studied in recent years. In this work, we report a study on the electronic behaviors during the MT in a kind of all-d-metal Ni50-x Fe x Mn35Ti15 Heusler magnetic shape memory alloys, by combining x-ray diffraction, calorimetric, magnetic, transport measurements and calculations. Based on the magnetic MTs, the system shows large magnetocaloric effect and magnetoresistance. In the whole temperature range, the system is dominated by hole carriers in both parent and martensite phases. A sharp increase in carrier concentration is observed across the transformations. Meanwhile, the mobility of holes is depressed due to the lattice distortion. A picture of the characteristics of MTs has been proposed for general understanding and clues of the potential spintronic applications based on the magnetostructural phase transitions.

Abstract
Objective: In this study, a systematic review was made on scientific evidence regarding the impact of food environment on diet-related behavior and obesity in China. Methods: Search on related keywords and references were conducted from four electronic databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI. Results: Data showed that good availability, accessibility of neighborhood food outlets had increased the diversity of food, including the intakes of total calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrate; however, the consumption of healthy foods such as fruit and vegetables was reducing among the Chinese residents. The effects of neighborhood food environment on obesity remained inconclusive. A large number of fast food restaurants around schools might be responsible for the increase of risk on obesity among students. Regulations set on the school vicinity food stalls might reduce the intake of sugary beverages, snacks and fast food among students. Conclusion: Building a healthy food environment is warranted to nudge the Chinese people towards a healthier diet pattern. However, more evidence is needed to support the evidence in building a healthy food environment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate life quality of Graves orbitopathy (GO) patients using Graves orbitopathy quality-of-life questionnaire (GO-QOL) and explore the influence factors of the quality of life of GO patients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University including 145 newly diagnosed GO patients. All the patient answered the GO-QOL and underwent ophthalmic and endocrine assessments. The main outcome measures were the scores on GO-QOL 2 subscales: visual functioning and appearance. Based on the classification in the guideline of European Group on Graves Orbitopathy (EUGOGO), the patients were divided into two groups: mild and moderate to severe groups. Then the scales between these two groups were compared and influencing factors were analyzed. Finally, the floor and ceiling effects were assessed. Results: The GO-QOL scores for the subscales of visual functioning and appearance were 70.91±27.83 and 61.29±26.37 respectively in 145 GO patients. Visual functioning and appearance were lower in moderate to severe group (62.71±28.77 and 57.52±26.49, respectively) than in mild group (85.58±18.77 and 68.02±24.99, respectively).The GO-QOL scores for the visual functioning subscale were significantly correlated with age (P=0.002), clinical active score (P=0.011) and the degree of diplopia (P=0.00, R(2)=0.373). The GO-QOL scores for the appearance were significantly correlated with sex (P=0.05) and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels (P=0.001, R(2)=0.231). No significant ceiling or floor effects were observed for either subscale of the GO-QOL. Conclusions: With the aggravation of the disease, the quality of life of GO patients is getting worse and worse. The main influencing factors of the quality of life of GO patients include age, gender, diplopia, clinical active score and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. Close attention needs to be paid to the quality of life of GO patients.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) . Methods: A retrospective study identified 91 patients diagnosed with ALCAPA at Shanghai Children's Medical Center from March 2010 to August 2017. According to the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at the time of consultation, patients were divided into the cardiac insufficiency group (n=54) and the normal cardiac function group (n=37). Clinical features (age of onset, clinical performance, etc) and auxiliary examinations (electrocardiogram, echocardiography, etc) between the two groups were compared using a t-test and a Chi-square test. Prognostic factors were analyzed by an ordered logistic regression and a Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: (1) The age of diagnosis of patients in the cardiac insufficiency group who were usually misdiagnosed as cardiomyopathy was (10.0±2.6) months (20/54) , whereas the age of diagnosis of patients in the normal cardiac function group who were usually misdiagnosed as valvular diseases was (40.0±7.8) months (4/37). According to the pathophysiological mechanism, forty of the 54 (74%) patients in the cardiac insufficiency group were infantile type, and 78% patients (29/37) in the normal cardiac function group were adult type. (2) Preoperative electrocardiogram showed the deep Q wave in lead I occurred more frequently in the cardiac insufficiency group than in the normal cardiac function group (28/54 vs. 11/37, χ(2)=4.388, P=0.036). (3) Twenty patients died in the cardiac insufficiency group including 12 patients who died from postoperative cardiac pump failure and 8 children who did not undergo surgery due to poor prognosis and died from other reasons. There was no death in the normal cardiac function group. (4) Preoperative LVEF was the unique risk factor affecting prognosis (F=16.872, P=0.005). The preoperative LVEF was significantly lower than the postoperative LVEF ((37±11)% vs. (45±14)%, t=3.614, P=0.001) in the cardiac insufficiency group. During the follow-up period, 6 patients in the cardiac insufficiency group still presented with postoperative cardiac dysfunction, and the patients in the normal cardiac function group still had normal cardiac function. Conclusions: Preoperative LVEF was the unique risk factor affecting prognosis of ALCAPA. Patients with infantile type ALCAPA and preoperative cardiac insufficiency should receive long-term follow-up treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Early diagnosis of tumour cells is critically important for cancer treatment. Given that the tumour environment is slightly acidic, the pH value of the cell environment can be used as a criterion for tumour diagnosis. However, mapping pH in the cell environment with high resolution, high sensitivity and accuracy remains challenging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on gold nanoflower as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate loading with p-mercaptobenzoic acid (MPA) as pH-responsive Raman reporter, a new SERS nanoprobe for pH mapping was developed. RESULTS This probe showed a characteristic Raman spectrum signal in response to the different pH in solutions or cells. The signal intensity is positively correlated to the pH value. Moreover, this probe is self-correctable, which can help eliminate the influence of probe concentration on the accuracy of pH measuring. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate the pH mapping of cell environment using the probe, which can be used to distinguish normal cells and tumour cells. This method may provide a new imaging tool for early diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
Core-shell plasmonic metal nanoparticles with interior nanogaps are superior nanostructures owing to their large signal enhancement for Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Herein, we incorporated Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-catalyzed DNA in the preparation of core-shell nanostructures for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) cells. The elongated products-homo-nucleotides-composed of long single DNA strands (hn-D) are used not only to induce tunable-size nanogaps but also as Raman reporters with consistent and uniform signal enhancement. Using this synthetic process of hn-D-embedded core-shell nanoparticles (hn-DENPs), we found that the length of hn-D strands affects the size of the nanogap. In addition, performances of the specific Raman imaging of E. coli O157:H7, high detection sensitivity of 2 CFU/mL, and the recovery of 98.1%-105.2% measured in the real food samples, make hn-DENP a biosensor that will be widely used in biological detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common skin disorder in infancy. However, the diagnosis and definite significance of infantile AD remains a debated issue. OBJECTIVE To analyse the phenotypes of AD in infancy, to establish diagnostic criteria and to estimate the prevalence of this condition in China. METHODS This is a multicentric study, in which 12 locations were chosen from different metropolitan areas of China. Following careful and complete history-taking and skin examination, the definite diagnosis of AD was made and the severity based on the SCORAD index was determined by local experienced dermatologists. Based on the detailed phenotyping, the major and representative clinical features of infantile AD were selected to establish the diagnostic criteria and evaluate their diagnostic efficacy. RESULTS A total of 5967 infants were included in this study. The overall point prevalence of AD was 30.48%. The infantile AD developed as early as at the second month of life, and its incidence peaked in the third month of life at 40.81%. The proportion of mild, moderate and severe AD was 67.40%, 30.57% and 2.03%, respectively. The most commonly seen manifestations in the infantile AD were facial dermatitis (72.07%), xerosis (42.72%) and scalp dermatitis (27.93%). We established the novel diagnostic criteria of infants, which included: (i) onset after 2 weeks of birth; (ii) pruritus and/or irritability and sleeplessness comparable with lesions; and (iii) all two items above with one of the following items can reach a diagnosis of AD: (i) eczematous lesions distributed on cheeks and/or scalp and/or extensor limbs, and (ii) eczematous lesions on any other parts of body accompanied by xerosis. CONCLUSIONS In China, the prevalence of AD in infancy is 30.48% according to clinical diagnosis of dermatologists. The novel Chinese diagnostic criteria for AD in infants show a higher sensitivity and comparable specificity.

Abstract
Limited biomarkers predicting prognosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have been identified. The present study aims to assess potential laboratory prognostic factors of MPM. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 105 patients with MPM. The overall survival and prognostic factors were assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal cut-off values. The mean age of the 105 patients (62 men, 43 women) was 56.0 years. The major clinical presentations were dyspnea, cough and chest pain. The most common laboratory abnormalities were thrombocytosis and elevated monocyte count. Significant prognostic factors on univariate analysis were performance status (PS), serum albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), monocyte, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) and treatment strategy. Multivariate analysis showed PS, AST, monocyte, and treatment strategy were statistically significant (p<0.05). Higher AST level and monocyte count were both related to the presence of anemia (p=0.001 and 0.010, respectively) and higher ALP level (p=0.049 and 0.001, respectively). A higher AST level was also associated with higher alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and LDH level (p<0.05). A higher monocyte count was also correlated with male patients, higher white blood cell (WBC), platelet, neutrophil counts, lower red blood cell (RBC) and LMR counts (p<0.05). In conclusion, our data show that PS<2, normal AST level, lower monocyte count, and multimodality treatment are independent positive prognostic factors of MPM. The elevated AST and monocyte levels represent unfavorable prognostic biomarkers of MPM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine child and parent reports about the child's oral health and assess the associations of these reports with clinical assessments of oral health status by dental examiners. METHODS Surveys with 139 items for children and 133 items for parents were administered by Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview Software. In addition, the Children's Oral Health Status Index (COHSI) was computed from a dental examination. RESULTS A total of 334 families with children ages 8 to 17 y participated at 12 dental practices in Los Angeles County. Ordinary least squares regression models were estimated separately for child and parent surveys to identify items uniquely associated with the COHSI. Ten of 139 items the children reported regarding their oral health were associated with the COHSI. The strongest associations were found for child's age, aesthetic factors (straight teeth and pleased with teeth), and cognitive factors related to perception of dental appearance (pleased/happy with the look of the child's mouth, teeth, and jaws). Nine of 133 parent items about the child's oral health were associated with the COHSI in the parent model, notably being a single parent, parent's gender, parent born in the United States, pleased or happy with the look of their child's teeth, and accessing the Internet. CONCLUSION These child and parent survey items have potential to be used to assess oral health status for groups of children in programs and practices in lieu of dental screenings. KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION STATEMENT The paper's results inform the development of a toolkit that can be used by schools, public health agencies, and dental programs to identify children with low oral health status based on parents' and children's responses to survey items across demographic, physical, mental, and social domains. These survey items can be used to inform parents of the desirability of proactively addressing inadequacies in their child's oral health status, enabling them to more rationally address dental needs.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of helical tomotherapy using simultaneously integrated boost and simultaneous integrated protection technique in the treatment of unresectable biliary tract cancers. Methods: The data of 23 patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer who received tomotherapy-based hypofractionated radiotherapy at Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Drum Tower Hospital,the Affiliated Drum Tower Clinical College of Nanjing Medical University between February 2015 and October 2017 were analyzed. There were 10 males and 13 females, aged from 40 to 85 years(median:58 years). Pathological type included intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas(n=11), gallbladder cancers(n=6),extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas(n=6). The irradiated sites covered primary tumors and areas of local invasion,including metastatic lymph nodes which were confined to the abdominal or retroperitoneal space. Dose escalation was achieved using simultaneously integrated boost(SIB) technique, and simultaneous integrated protection(SIP)technique was used to protect gastrointestinal tracts and other adjacent organs. Cox regression modal and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to analyze the associations between patients' characteristics and overall survival(OS). Results: The median total radiation dose was 54 Gy(range: 28-72 Gy)and median biologically effective dose(BED)was 74.4 Gy(range: 37.8-115.2 Gy).The median planning target volume(PTV)was 445.79 cm(3)(range:126.02-950.12 cm(3)). Based on the various PTV,patients received 2.4-6.0 Gy/fraction with 8-28 fractions. The local control rate was 65.2% and the median OS was 11.3 months(range:2.1-31.9 months).The most common cause of death was out-field failure and only 3 patients died of in-field failures. The longest survival was 31.9 months. BED≥70 Gy significantly improved OS,compared to BED<70 Gy(16.8 months vs.5.1 months)(HR=0.146, 95%CI:0.028-0.762, P=0.022). No patients developed grade ≥4 toxicities. Conclusions: Helical tomotherapy-based hypofractionated radiotherapy is effective and well tolerated for patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer. The dose escalation with higher BED could improve the survival for such patients.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the bioactive metabolite of endophytic fungus from Kalimeris indica. METHODS AND RESULTS A strain ZJLQ336 was separated from the leaves of K. indica. It was identified as Cadophora orchidicola based on the phylogenetic analysis of ITS-rDNA sequences. From the fermentation broth a metabolite cercosporamide (compound 1) was isolated, and its structure was determined by spectroscopic analysis. Additionally, this compound was subjected to bioactivity assays, including antifungal activity against seven plant pathogenic fungi, as well as its potential immunoregulatory effects on HEK-BLUE™-hTLR4 cells, splenocytes and macrophages. The results showed that cercosporamide had strong growth inhibition against five common plant pathogenic fungi, including Pestalotia diospyri, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Sclerotium rolfsii and Penicillum digitatum with EC50 values of 5·29 × 10-3 , 0·61, 0·93, 2·89 and 6·7 μg ml-1 respectively. Among which S. rolfsii was one of the main pathogens in K. indica. Moreover, cercosporamide not only significantly stimulated TLR4 activation, splenocyte proliferation and production of cytokines, IFN-γ and TNF-α, but also up-regulated the production of TNF-α and NO in RAW264.7 macrophages clearly. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of endophytic C. orchidicola from K. indica and its metabolite cercosporamide. The results of pharmacological tests highlight the potential fungicide and TLR4 agonist of cercosporamide. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study indicates endophytic fungi are good resources for natural bioactive metabolites. It also suggests that cercosporamide is a potential fungicide and TLR4 agonist.

Methods: Sixty elderly patients with ovarian cancer were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were given total intravenous anesthesia. Patients in group D were given a loading dosage of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg, followed by continuous infusion 0.2 μg·kg(-1)·h(-1) until 30 minutes before the end of operation. Group C were given normal saline at the same time. The cerebral oxygen saturation was observed and recorded before anaesthesia (T0), an hour after operation (T1), the end of operation (T2) and 30 min after tracheal extubation (T3). The time of extubation and adverse reactions such as restlessness, shivering and respiratory inhibition were observed in both groups. Results: There was no significant difference in cerebral oxygen saturation between the two groups at different time points (P>0.05), and the degree of restlessness and its incidence in group D were lower than those in group C, and the adverse reactions such as shivering were lower (P<0.05). Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine has no obvious effect on cerebral oxygen saturation in elderly patients with ovarian cancer. It can effectively prevent and reduce postoperative restlessness, does not affect recovery time, and has fewer adverse reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to compare the differences of the subjective satisfaction of the donor site morbidity between the free radial forearm flap (FRFF) and anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) for tongue reconstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and nineteen patients underwent FRFF or ALTF reconstruction were retrospectively evaluated by a standardized self-established donor site morbidity questionnaire which included 5 domains, sensibility, movement disabilities, cosmetics, social activities and general impacts on the quality of life. RESULTS The Cronbach's coefficient alpha of the questionnaire was 0.707. The exploratory factor analysis revealed that the 5 items of the questionnaire might load onto two distinct subscales. Patients with ALTF had higher scores in the sensibility, cosmetics and the composite score (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in the movement disabilities, social activities and general impacts on the quality of life between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS ALTF has the advantage of better results of donor site morbidity, such as sensibility and cosmetics, over FRFF.

Abstract
AIM To determine the enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) in Chinese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with histopathologically proven cHCC-CC (n=54) were compared with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; n=41) and cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC; n=41) patients. Clinical information was measured in all patients. Tumour size, tumour margins, signs of cirrhosis, pseudocapsule, capsular retraction, rim enhancement, intrahepatic biliary dilatation, portal vein thrombosis, upper abdominal lymphadenopathy, were assessed on CT and/or MRI. The dynamic pattern of enhancement was also assessed. RESULTS The majority (81.5%) of cHCC-CC patients had positive hepatitis B serology. The presence of cirrhosis and tumour blood vessels was comparable in cHCC-CC and HCC, but significantly lower in CCC (p>0.05). The presence of ill-defined margin and regional lymphadenopathy was comparable in cHCC-CC and CCC, but significantly lower in HCC (p>0.05). The pseudocapsule, capsular retraction, biliary dilatation, rim enhancement, and abnormal perfusion were significantly different between the three types of lesions, with cHCC-CC being intermediate between HCC and CCC. Nearly half of the cHCC-CC tumours (25; 46.3%) showed the wash-in and wash-out enhancement pattern; the gradual, persistent, and mixed patterns were seen in 12 (22.2%), 5 (9.3%), and 12 (22.2%) tumours, respectively. CONCLUSION The majority of cHCC-CC tumours occur against a background of positive hepatitis B serology and cirrhosis. Imaging findings vary widely between cHCC-CC tumours. In the present series, the enhancement pattern of cHCC-CC tumours was HCC-like in most cases.

Abstract
Objective: To access the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) with right coronary cusp bulge. Methods: The study population consisted of 40 children (22 boys and 18 girls) undergoing transcatheter intervention for VSD with right coronary cusp bulge in Shanghai Children's Medical Center from August 2013 to June 2017. All patients were examined using transthoracic echocardiography and cardiovascular angiography before occlusion and received transcatheter closure of VSD by placing an occlude. During the operation, angiography and transthoracic echocardiography were used to detect residual shunts, new-onset or aggravation of aortic regurgitation, and surface electrocardiogram was used to assess the impact of occlusion on the conduction system. The children were followed up to evaluate the degree of aortic regurgitation and the presence of heart block by transthoracic echocardiography and electrocardiogram in outpatient department. Comparative analysis between two groups was used by t test. Results: The average age of the patients was (5.1±3.2) years, weight(20.6±10.7) kg. The diameter of defect shunt was (3.3±0.9) cm. The VSD of all 40 patients were successfully occluded immediately, and three patients (8%) with filament residual shunt were observed during the operation. No major surgical complication such as death, pericardial tamponade, embolism of important organs, infective endocarditis occurred during the perioperative period. During the follow-up period, the positions of all the occluders were good, the residual shunt in three patients disappeared, and no new-onset or aggravated aortic regurgitation occurred. Electrocardiogram did not reveal any atrioventricular block, and one patient suffered from an incomplete right bundle branch block. There were significant differences between pre- and post-occlusion regarding the left ventricular end diastolic diameter ((3.8±0.5) vs. (3.7±0.5) cm, t=2.092, P=0.043), the left ventricular end systolic diameter ( (2.4±0.3) vs. (2.2±0.4) cm, t=2.068, P=0.045), and the QRS interval ((75.4±10.4) vs. (79.8±11.4) ms, t=-2.277, P=0.028). No significant differences were found between pre- and post-operation regarding the left ventricular ejection fraction (67.8%±4.7% vs. 68.1%±4.6%, t=-0.447, P=0.657) and the PR interval ((125.6±14.7) vs. (122.6±14.2) ms, t=1.540, P=0.132). Conclusions: Interventional closure of VSD with right coronary cusp bulge has small impact on aortic valve activity in children. With appropriate indications and methods, transcatheter interventional occlusion should be considered because it is effective for children diagnosed with VSD combined with right coronary cusp bulge.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a vital prognosis factor in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). The study tried to identify clinicopathological factors for LNM of PTMC. METHODS The clinicopathological data of 1031 patients with PTMC were extracted and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors associated with cervical lymph node metastasis. ROC analysis was used to determine the ideal critical points of the sum of the maximum diameter of multifocal in a unilateral lobe. RESULTS The probability of LNM, central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) and lateral lymph node metastasis(LLNM)of PTMC patients were 35.6, 33.7 and 5.6%, respectively. In addition, 1.9% PTMC had LLNM only. Male, age ≤ 40 years, tumor largest diameter ≥ 5 mm, multifocal, non-uniform echoic distribution, the sum of the maximum diameter of multifocal in a unilateral lobe ≥ 8.5 mm, tumors in the lower pole location were prone to CLNM. Ultrasound mix-echo, the sum of the maximum diameter of the multifocal ≥ 10.75 mm, tumors in the upper pole location were extremely prone to LLNM. T3 were prone to LLNM or skip LLNM. CONCLUSIONS According to the clinicopathological characteristics of PTMC, the cervical lymph nodes should be correctly evaluated to guide the surgical treatment.

Abstract
Because of the high malignancy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the cancer-related mortality of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is increasing year by year. Despite advance in surgical techniques, the 5-year survival rate of patients after resection is still less than 30%. Recent studies have found that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a systemic disease, which may not be cured completely by up-front resection, but requires perioperative multidisciplinary therapy. With the concept of "potentially curable pancreatic cancer" , clinicians need to evaluate the resectability of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma accurately before operation, and use the innovative multidisciplinary therapy including neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,surgery and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy to improve the R0 resection rate and reduce the risk of early metastasis. Therefore, the therapeutic goal of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is no longer "simple resection" , but long survival through perioperative multidisciplinary treatment. In this article, we briefly introduce the progress of resectability assessment, surgical techniques and perioperative adjuvant therapy of "potentially curable pancreatic cancer" .
