Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical correlation between the manifestations of neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Retrospective analysis of 65 neuropsychiatric lupus patients with brain MRI and clinical data from Peking University Third Hospital from January 2006 to October 2016, which was classified by rheumatologist, neurologists, and radiologists based on their brain MRI findings. The correlation between brain MRI findings and clinical manifestations was analyzed. RESULTS The characteristics of the brain MRI of the 65 patients were divided into 6 categories: 16 cases (25%) with demyelination in the white matter, 15 cases (23%) with cerebrovascular disease, including 4 cases (6%) with large vascular disease and 11 cases (17%) with small vessel disease, 4 cases (6%) with inflammation, 4 cases (6%) with edema, 13 cases (20%) with multiple manifestation coexistence, and 13 cases (20%) without any abnormality. Except for 4 cases of brain MRI with edema, the clinical manifestations were only epileptic seizures, other patients had complex and diverse clinical manifestations, including epileptic seizures, lupus-like headaches, mental symptoms, blurred vision, peripheral neuropathy and disturbance of consciousness. The incidence of epileptic seizures in patients with edema of MRI is significantly higher than that of other patients, and the therapeutic response time is the shortest. CONCLUSION Multidisciplinary collaboration divides the MRI findings of neuropsychiatric lupus patients into six categories. This classification method helps clinicians to predict and intervene early possible neuropsychiatric symptoms to guide clinical treatment.

Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is traced to a mature B malignance carrying abnormal activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) expression. AID activity initially focuses on deamination of cytidine to uracil to generate somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination of the immunoglobulin (Ig), but recently it has been implicated in DNA demethylation of genes required for B cell development and proliferation in the germinal centre (GC). However, whether AID activity on mutation or demethylation of genes involves oncogenesis of DLBCL has not been well characterized. Our data demonstrate that the proto-oncogene Fanconi anaemia complementation group A (FANCA) is highly expressed in DLBCL patients and cell lines, respectively. AID recruits demethylation enzyme ten eleven translocation family member (TET2) to bind the FANCA promoter. As a result, FANCA is demethylated and its expression increases in DLBCL. On the basis of our findings, we have developed a new therapeutic strategy to significantly inhibit DLBCL cell growth by combination of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib with AID and TET2 depletion. These findings support a novel mechanism that AID has a crucial role in active demethylation for oncogene activation in DLBCL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious global problem that leads to permanent motor and sensory deficits. This study explores the anti-apoptotic and neuroprotective effects of the natural extract β-elemene in vitro and in a rat model of SCI. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase assay was used to evaluate cytotoxicity. A model of cell injury was established using cobalt chloride. Apoptosis was evaluated using a fluorescence-activated cell sorting assay of annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide staining. A rat SCI model was created via the modified Allen's method and Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scores were used to assess locomotor function. Inflammatory responses were assessed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Apoptotic and surviving neurons in the ventral horn were respectively observed via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining and Nissl staining. Western blotting was used to measure protein expression. RESULTS β-elemene (20 μg/ml) promoted cell viability by activating phosphorylation of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. β-elemene reduced CoCl2-induced cellular death and apoptosis by suppressing the expression levels of CHOP, cleaved-caspase 12, 78-kilodalton glucose-regulated protein, cleaved-caspase 3, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. In the rat model of SCI, Nissl and TUNEL staining showed that β-elemene promoted motor neuron survival and reduced neuronal apoptosis in the spinal cord ventral horn. BBB scores showed that β-elemene significantly promoted locomotor behavioral recovery after SCI. In addition, β-elemene reduced the ELISA-detected secretion of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β. CONCLUSION β-elemene reduces neuronal apoptosis by alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress in vitro and in vivo. In addition, β-elemene promotes locomotor function recovery and tissue repair in SCI rats. Thus, our study provides a novel encouraging strategy for the potential treatment of β-elemene in SCI patients.

Abstract
The "out of the blue" nature of recent terror attacks and the diversity of apparent motives highlight the importance of understanding the online trajectories that individuals follow prior to developing high levels of extremist support. Here we show that the physics of stochastic walks, with and without temporal correlation, provides a unifying description of these online trajectories. Our unique data set comprising all users of a global social media site reveals universal characteristics in individuals' online lifetimes. Our accompanying theory generates analytical and numerical solutions that describe the characteristics shown by individuals that go on to develop high levels of extremist support and those that do not. Going forward, it is conceivable that a deeper understanding of these temporal and many-body correlations may eventually contribute to the important task of better countering the spread of radical propaganda online.

Abstract
We present the continuous-time evolution of an online organism network from birth to death which crosses all organizational and temporal scales, from individual components through to the mesoscopic and entire system scale. These continuous-time data reveal a lifespan driven by punctuated, real-time co-evolution of the structural and functional networks. Aging sees these structural and functional networks gradually diverge in terms of their small-worldness and eventually their connectivity. Dying emerges as an extended process associated with the formation of large but disjoint functional sub-networks together with an increasingly detached core. Our mathematical model quantifies the very different impacts that interventions will have on the overall lifetime, period of initial growth, peak of potency, and duration of old age, depending on when and how they are administered. In addition to their direct relevance to online extremism, our findings may offer insight into aging in other network systems of comparable complexity for which extensive in vivo data is not yet available.

Abstract
AIM To determine the diagnostic potential of transluminal attenuation gradients (TAG) with exclusion of stented coronary segments (TAG-ExS) and TAG-corrected contrast opacification (CCO) excluding stented coronary segments (TAG-CCO-ExS) for the assessment of in-stent restenosis (ISR). MATERIALS AND METHODS TAG-ExS and TAG-CCO-ExS were calculated in 93 coronary arteries with 190 stents. The diagnostic performances and the incremental values of the two metrics to coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were analysed and compared. RESULTS For all stents and stents >3 mm in diameter, TAG-ExS and TAG-CCO-ExS were significantly lower in ≥50% than that in <50% of ISR (both p<0.05). For stent diameters ≤3 mm, significantly lower TAG-CCO-ExS (p=0.000), but not TAG-ExS (p=0.059), was found in ≥50% than in <50% of ISR. Addition of TAG-ExS or TAG-CCO-ExS to CCTA, did not improve the diagnostic accuracy of CCTA significantly (all p>0.05). Only TAG-CCO-ExS had a significant impact on CCTA for the reclassifications of ISR (p=0.046) in stent diameters ≤3 mm. CONCLUSIONS TAG-ExS and TAG-CCO-ExS did not provide incremental diagnostic value over CCTA in assessing ISR. TAG-CCO-ExS slightly enhanced the reclassifications of ISR for stents ≤3 mm in diameter.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (CYPs or P450s) have been long recognized as very important enzymes in the metabolism of xenobiotic and endogenous compounds, but only a few CYPs have been functionally characterized in insects. The effort in functional characterization of insect P450s is heavily hindered by technical difficulties in preparing active, individual P450 enzymes directly from the target insect. In this paper, we describe the functional expression of two additional pyrethroid resistance-associated CYP9A genes (CYP9A12 and CYP9A17) from the polyphagous pest Helicoverpa armigera in the facile Escherichia coli. The functionality of E. coli produced CYP9A12, CYP9A14, and CYP9A17 was investigated and activities of these CYP9As were compared against three probe substrates after reconstitution with NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase. The results showed that active forms of CYP9A12 and CYP9A17 were expressed in E. coli with a content of about 1.0-1.5 nmol mg-1 protein in membrane preparations. In vitro assays showed that CYP9A14 was capable of catalyzing O-dealkylation of methoxyresorufin (MROD), ethoxyresorufin (EROD), and benzyloxyresorufin (BROD), while CYP9A12 and CYP9A17 exhibited only MROD and EROD activities. Kinetic studies demonstrated that CYP9A14 had the greatest k cat/K m value for MROD, and CYP9A17 for EROD, while the lowest k cat/K m values for both MROD and EROD were observed for CYP9A12. The distinct biochemical traits suggest that the three paralogous CYP9As may play different roles in xenobiotic metabolism in this important pest.

Abstract
Infection is the process of pathogen invasion, as well as the host reaction to the foreign agents. Proline-directed phosphorylation is a major regulatory mechanism that regulates the function of fundamental proteins involved in infection and infection-induced cancer. Recently, the identification of the phosphorylation-dependent prolyl isomerase Pin1 has uncovered a unique regulatory signaling mechanism controlling protein conformation and function after phosphorylation. Pin1 is the only proline isomerase that specifically recognizes certain Pro-directed Ser/Thr phosphorylation motifs. Pin1 has emerged as a major regulator of cancerrelated viral and bacterial infections notably via activating Toll-like receptor signaling and NF-κB pathways. This paper will specifically review recent findings on the role of Pin1 in cancer-related viral and bacterial infections and also discuss newly discovered Pin1 inhibitors as promising drugs for the prevention and treatment of viral and bacterial infections and associated tumorigenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate risk factors related to kidney injury in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) and to study the therapeutic effects of hemoperfusion (HP) on kidney injury in HSP children, providing clinical evidence for early prevention and treatment of HSP. PATIENTS AND METHODS Children who suffered from HSP for the first time were selected as study objects and they were followed up for 12 months. Single factor analysis and multi-factor Logistic regression analysis were performed for children's demographic characteristics (age, gender), clinical manifestations (rash duration time, rash recurrence times, digestive tract hemorrhage, abdominal pain, arthralgia, HSP recurrence) and laboratory indexes (peripheral blood WBC, PLT, ESR, CRP, serum IgG, serum IgA, IgM, serum C3, serum C4, TC, TG, HDL, LDL). Meanwhile, participants were divided into treatment group (HP treatment) and control group, and the protective effects of HP on renal function of HSP children were discussed. RESULTS Single factor analysis indicated age ≥ 6 years, rash recurrence ≥ 3 times, rash duration time ≥ 1 month, digestive tract hemorrhage, peripheral blood PLT, WBC, serum TC and serum LDL levels had statistically significant differences between the two groups. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated rash recurrence ≥ 3 times, digestive tract hemorrhage, decline of peripheral blood PLT count, and increases of serum TC and LDL were closely related to kidney injury of HSP children. After discharge, kidney injury comparison between treatment group and control group in follow-up had a statistical difference. CONCLUSIONS Rash recurrence ≥ 3 times, digestive tract hemorrhage, decline in peripheral blood PLT count, increases of serum TC and LDL, are risk factors of kidney injury in HSP children. HP can protect renal function of HSP children.
