Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of hemiplegic migraine (HM) manifested as acute encephalopathy in children, so as to improve the understanding of this disease. Methods: The clinical data of 5 children diagnosed with HM characterized by acute encephalopathy who were admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from August 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among the 5 cases, 3 were males and 2 females with an age of 9.7 (3.9-12.7) years. The age of disease onset was 7.0(2.1-12.7) years. The peak symptoms of 5 children showed encephalopathy such as drowsiness and coma, as well as other clinical manifestations including headache, visual abnormality, hemiplegia, aphasia, convulsions, and fever, etc. The time to reach the peak was on the 2nd-6th day of the course of the disease. Before the onset of the disease 2 cases were found to have mild brain trauma and 2 cases had similar attacks in the past. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed hemispheric or partial cerebral cortex swelling and restricted diffusion of subcortical white matter in all cases, and cerebellar atrophy in 3 cases. All children received symptomatic treatment, and 2 of them were also treated with low-dose corticosteroids in the meantime. Finally all cases recovered clinically from the attack, but one had atrophic changes left in the affected area on brain MRI. Whole exon sequencing revealed variations of CACNA1A gene in all cases, among which 4 were de novo mutations and 1 case inherited from the mother who had migraine without aura. After the diagnosis, the 5 children were treated with long-term flunarizine and followed up for 22(7-29) months by telephone or in the outpatient clinic. Before the last follow-up, none of them showed weakness or encephalopathy, but one still had intermittent headaches and occasional transient right limb numbness. Conclusions: Hemipleg is often accompanied by impaired consciousness in addition to headache, hemiplegia, aphasia, visual abnormality, etc. Most patients recover completely after a short period, while a few recover slowly and may suffer sequelae such as brain atrophy and cognitive impairment and even death. CACNA1A gene variation is the most common genetic variation. Flunarizine could prevent recurrence of severe attack.

Abstract
Micro/nano-scale deformation behavior including hardness, elastic modulus, and pop-ins, was studied in a medical austenitic stainless steel followed by post-mortem EBSD characterization. Relatively higher hardness and modulus was observed near {101} and more pop-ins occurred in this orientation at high loading rate. The activation volume (v) obtained from nanoindentation had weak dependence on grain orientation and was ~10-20 b3, indicating that neither diffusional creep processes nor conventional dislocation segments passing through dislocation forests controls plastic deformation in our study. The plastic zone radius (c) and the distance of the indent from the grain boundary (d) were used to describe the effect of grain boundary on the pop-in effect. The ratio of c/d meets amplitude version of Gaussian peak function distribution for a given orientation, whose peak value remains nearly constant for all the orientations.

Abstract
Evolution of diverse Hall effects due to successive magnetic transitions has been observed in Mn2.5Fe0.6Sn0.9 by suitable chemical substitution of Fe in Mn3.1Sn0.9. This noncollinear antiferromagnetic alloy exhibits a Neel temperature of 325 K. Upon cooling from 325 K, a magnetic phase transition from noncollinear antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism occurs at 168 K due to the tilting of magnetization towards c axis. Above this temperature, anomalous Hall resistivity ranged from 0.6 to 1.3 μΩ cm has been observed in noncollinear antiferromagnetic state. Below this temperature, a topological Hall effect (THE) starts to appear due to the non-vanishing scalar spin chirality arising from the noncoplanar spin structure. Further decreasing temperature to 132 K, another magnetic transition happens, resulting in the coexistence of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, so that a Hall plateau with large hysteresis below 70 K is yielded. A hysteresis as high as ∼80 kOe is obtained in ρ xy -H at 15 K. However, the Hall plateau disappears and only anomalous Hall effect (AHE) persists when further decreasing the temperature to 5 K. The present study provides a picture of diverse magneto-transport properties correlated to the variable spin structures driven by magnetic phase transitions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of fluid responsiveness during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is crucial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in left ventricular outflow tract velocity-time integral (ΔVTI), induced by a Trendelenburg maneuver, could predict fluid responsiveness during VA-ECMO. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in patients with VA-ECMO support. The protocol included four sequential steps: (1) baseline-1, a supine position with a 15° upward bed angulation; (2) Trendelenburg maneuver, 15° downward bed angulation; (3) baseline-2, the same position as baseline-1, and (4) fluid challenge, administration of 500 mL gelatin over 15 min without postural change. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded at each step. Fluid responsiveness was defined as ΔVTI of 15% or more, after volume expansion. RESULTS From June 2018 to December 2019, 22 patients with VA-ECMO were included, and a total of 39 measurements were performed. Of these, 22 measurements (56%) met fluid responsiveness. The R2 of the linear regression was 0.76, between ΔVTIs induced by Trendelenburg maneuver and the fluid challenge. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of ΔVTI induced by Trendelenburg maneuver to predict fluid responsiveness was 0.93 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.81-0.98], with a sensitivity of 82% (95% CI 60-95%), and specificity of 88% (95% CI 64-99%), at a best threshold of 10% (95% CI 6-12%). CONCLUSIONS Changes in VTI induced by the Trendelenburg maneuver could effectively predict fluid responsiveness in VA-ECMO patients. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03553459 (the TEMPLE study). Registered on May 30, 2018.

Abstract
The regulation of mRNA localization and local translation play vital roles in the maintenance of cellular structure and function. Many human neurodegenerative diseases, such as fragile X syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal muscular atrophy, have been characterized by pathological changes in neuronal axons, including abnormal mRNA translation, the loss of protein expression, or abnormal axon transport. Moreover, the same protein and mRNA molecules have been associated with variable functions in different diseases due to differences in their interaction networks. In this review, we briefly examine fragile X syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal muscular atrophy, with a focus on disease pathogenesis with regard to local mRNA translation and axon transport, suggesting possible treatment directions.

Abstract
Background: Extubation failure (EF) can lead to an increased chance of ventilator-associated pneumonia, longer hospital stays, and a higher mortality rate. This study aimed to develop and validate an accurate machine-learning model to predict EF in intensive care units (ICUs). Methods: Patients who underwent extubation in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database were included. EF was defined as the need for ventilatory support (non-invasive ventilation or reintubation) or death within 48 h following extubation. A machine-learning model called Categorical Boosting (CatBoost) was developed based on 89 clinical and laboratory variables. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values were calculated to evaluate feature importance and the recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithm was used to select key features. Hyperparameter optimization was conducted using an automated machine-learning toolkit (Neural Network Intelligence). The final model was trained based on key features and compared with 10 other models. The model was then prospectively validated in patients enrolled in the Cardiac Surgical ICU of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. In addition, a web-based tool was developed to help clinicians use our model. Results: Of 16,189 patients included in the MIMIC-IV cohort, 2,756 (17.0%) had EF. Nineteen key features were selected using the RFE algorithm, including age, body mass index, stroke, heart rate, respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation, temperature, pH, central venous pressure, tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure, mean airway pressure, pressure support ventilation (PSV) level, mechanical ventilation (MV) durations, spontaneous breathing trial success times, urine output, crystalloid amount, and antibiotic types. After hyperparameter optimization, our model had the greatest area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC: 0.835) in internal validation. Significant differences in mortality, reintubation rates, and NIV rates were shown between patients with a high predicted risk and those with a low predicted risk. In the prospective validation, the superiority of our model was also observed (AUROC: 0.803). According to the SHAP values, MV duration and PSV level were the most important features for prediction. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study developed and prospectively validated a CatBoost model, which better predicted EF in ICUs than other models.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the influence of the stiffness of three-dimensionally bioprinted extracellular matrix analogue on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into skin appendage cells. Methods: (1) Sodium alginate of 1 g and 4 g gelatin, 3 g sodium alginate and 8 g gelatin were mixed respectively, and the two mixtures were dissolved in 100 mL ultra-pure water respectively to prepare two sodium alginate-gelatin composite hydrogels, named 1A4G hydrogel and 3A8G hydrogel, which were used in the subsequent experiments. The morphology of the two hydrogels at room temperature, after condensation for 15-30 min at 4 ℃ (the same condensation condition below), after condensation and cross-linking with 25 g/L calcium chloride solution (the same cross-linking condition below), and after condensation and three-dimensional printing with a three-dimensional bioprinter (the same three-dimensional printer below) and cross-linking were observed respectively. Young's modulus (stiffness) of the two kinds of hydrogels was measured by Young's modulus tester after condensation and cross-linking (n=3). Two kinds of hydrogels were cross-linked and freeze-dried, and their pore structure was observed by scanning electron microscope. Two hydrogels were cross-linked and freeze-dried, and the porosity was detected by anhydrous ethanol replacement method (n=3). (2) BMSCs were isolated from femur and tibia of 20 C57BL/6 mice (no limitation with sex, born 7 days) and cultured, and the second passage of cells was used for further test. The BMSCs single cell suspension (1.0×10(7) /mL) was mixed with 1A4G hydrogel and 3A8G hydrogel respectively at 1∶9 volume ratio to prepare BMSCs-loaded 1A4G hydrogel and BMSCs-loaded 3A8G hydrogel for three-dimensional printing. One construct was printed with 1 mL cell-loaded hydrogel (the same dosage for printing below). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) specific medium was added after cross-linking, and the printed constructs were divided into 1A4G group and 3A8G group according to the hydrogel. One construct of each group cultured for 7 days was tested with live/dead kit to count the live cells and dead cells in 50-fold field of view. Nine printed constructs from each of the two groups were taken, and BMSCs of nine wells (1.0×10(6) per well) cultured with 2 mL MSCs specific medium were set as two-dimensional culture group. After 1, 3, 5 day (s) of culture, three printed constructs from 1A4G group and 3A8G group respectively and three wells of cells from two-dimensional culture group were taken to detect the absorbance value in culture medium by cell counting kit 8, denoting the cell proliferation activity. (3) BMSCs-loaded 1A4G hydrogel and BMSCs-loaded 3A8G hydrogel of 10 mL respectively were prepared as in experiment (2), which were respectively mixed with 0.5 mL plantar dermis homogenate extracted from 10 C57BL/6 mice of 1 day postnatal with unknown sex, then three-dimensionally printed, cross-linked, cultured with MSCs specific medium for 3 days and then changed to sweat gland specific medium. The printed constructs were divided into 1A4G group and 3A8G group according to their hydrogel. After 7 days of culture with sweat gland specific medium, the expressions of epithelial cell surface markers cytokeratin-5 (CK5) and CK14, sweat gland cell surface markers CK18 and Na(+) /K(+) -ATPase (NKA), and hair follicle cell surface markers CK17 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at protein level in cells of printed constructs in the two groups were detected by immunofluorescence method. The expressions of CK5, CK14, CK18, NKA (detecting ATP1a1), CK17, and ALP at mRNA level in cells of printed constructs in the two groups were detected with real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (n=3). Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, Fisher's exact probability test, analysis of variance for factorial design, and Bonferroni method. Results: (1) Compared with that of 3A8G hydrogel, 1A4G hydrogel had lower viscosity and better fluidity at room temperature. Both kinds of hydrogels were gel-like after condensation, based on which, the shape of cross-linked hydrogels was uniform and regular, with three-dimensional printing and cross-linking made hrdrogels forming solid crisscross cylindrical constructs. The Young's modulus of 1A4G hydrogel was (52±6) kPa, which was obviously lower than (218±5) kPa of 3A8G hydrogel (t=40.470, P<0.01). The pore structure of the two hydrogels was similar, with all the cross-sections showing porous network structure. The porosity of the two hydrogels was similar (t=0.930, P>0.05). (2) The distribution of live/dead cells between 1A4G group and 3A8G group was similar after 7 days of culture (P>0.05), most of which were live cells. The absorbance value in culture medium of printed constructs among 1A4G group, 3A8G group, and two-dimensional culture group didn't show statistically significant differences after 1, 3, 5 day (s) of culture (P>0.05). Compared with that after 1 day of culture within each group, the absorbance value in culture medium of printed constructs in 1A4G group and 3A8G group was significantly increased after 3 and 5 days of culture (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the absorbance value in culture medium of cells in two-dimensional culture group was significantly increased after 5 days of culture (P<0.01). Compared with that after 3 days of culture within each group, the absorbance value in culture medium of printed constructs in 1A4G group and 3A8G group and that of cells in two-dimensional culture group was significantly increased after 5 days of culture (P<0.01). (3) After 7 days of culture with sweat gland specific medium, the CK5, CK14, CK18, NKA, CK17, and ALP were positively expressed at protein level in cells of printed constructs in the two groups. After 7 days of culture with sweat gland specific medium, the expressions of CK5, CK14, CK18, and NKA at mRNA level in cells of printed constructs were close between the two groups (t=0.362, 0.807, 0.223, 1.356, P>0.05); the expressions of CK17 and ALP at mRNA level in cells of printed constructs in 3A8G group were 1.96±0.21 and 55.57±11.49, respectively, which were significantly higher than 1.05±0.42 and 2.01±0.27 in 1A4G group (t=3.333, 8.074, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions: BMSCs cultured three-dimensionally in 1A4G and 3A8G hydrogels tend to differentiate into sweat gland cells, but the BMSCs cultured three-dimensionally in 3A8G hydrogel show a stronger tendency to differentiate into hair follicle cells than the cells cultured in 1A4G hydrogel. It suggests that relatively high stiffness of three-dimensionally bioprinted extracellular matrix analogue facilitates not only differentiation of BMSCs into sweat gland cells, but also their differentiation into hair follicle cells.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the effectiveness and safety sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) combination ±ribavirin in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in China. Methods: A total of 96 Chinese adults with chronic HCV infection who were treated with SOF/VEL combination ± ribavirin for 12 weeks between July 2018 and February 2020 were selected. HCV RNA, routine blood test, liver, kidney and coagulation function, abdominal Color Doppler ultrasound or CT and liver stiffness were detected at baseline, 4 weeks of treatment, end of treatment and 12 weeks of follow-up. Adverse events and laboratory abnormalities during the treatment were recorded. A t-test was used to compare the measurement data between the two groups, and the analysis of variance was used for multiple group comparison. Results: A total of 93 cases (96.9%) achieved sustained virological response (SVR12), of which 3 cases had relapsed. 88 cases (91.7%, 88/96) had achieved rapid virological response (RVR). 96 cases (100%) had achieved virological response by the end of treatment (EOT). In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, the average baseline Child-Pugh score and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score was 7.4±1.0, and 11.4±1.7, respectively. Among them, 12 cases of the SOF/VEL combined with RBV treatment had achieved SVR12 (100%) at 12 weeks, while only 3 of the 5 cases of single-tablet regimen of SOF/VEL had achieved SVR12 (60%). There was no significant difference between creatinine levels and baseline during or 12 weeks after treatment. The incidence of adverse events in patients with chronic hepatitis C and compensated cirrhosis was 6.3% (5/79), while that in patients with decompensated cirrhosis was 35.3% (6/17). The most common adverse events were hyperbilirubinemia, fatigue and anemia. There were no serious adverse events, deaths or discontinuation of treatment due to adverse events. Conclusion: SOF/VEL combination ± ribavirin in the treatment of various common genotypes of chronic hepatitis C, compensated cirrhosis, decompensated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma has higher SVR12 in China, and the tolerance and safety are good.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the drug-drug interactions and the tolerability of combined medication between yimitasvir phosphate capsules with sofosbuvir tablets, omeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablets, and rosuvastatin calcium tablets in healthy volunteers. Methods: A randomized, open, and continuous administration design was used in trial 1 (yimitasvir phosphate capsules with sofosbuvir tablets). 28 subjects were randomly divided into two groups. A non-randomized, open design was used in trial 2 (yimitasvir phosphate capsules with omeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablets), and included 42 subjects divided into three groups. The open design method was used in trial 3 (yimitasvir phosphate capsules with rosuvastatin calcium tablets), and included 14 subjects. The plasma concentrations of yimitasvir phosphate, sofosbuvir and their main metabolites GS-331007, omeprazole and rosuvastatin were validated by a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Phoenix winNonlin software. Results: (1) in trial 1, after single and co-administration, the 90% CI of sofosbuvir C(max) and AUC(0-tau) geometric mean ratio (GMR) were 152.0% (118.0% ~ 197.0%) and 230.0% (184.0% ~ 287.0%), with an increase of 52.0% and 130.0% compared to single dose of sofosbuvir, respectively. The 90% CI of GS-331007 C(max) GMR was 74.0% (67.5% ~ 81.2%) and reduced by 26% compared to single dose of sofosbuvir. (2) in trial 2, the 90% CI of C(max) GMR after yimitasvir single or co-administration at the same time, with a 4-hours interval, or with a 12- hours interval were 68.9% (44.5% ~ 106.7%) , 64.0% (43.8% ~ 93.6%) and 56.4%(38.9% ~ 81.9%), and the 90% CI of AUC(0-t) GMR were 68.6% (46.5% ~ 101.2%), 68.3% (47.6% ~ 98.0%) and 60.5% (41.8% ~ 87.5%), respectively. Compared with single dose of yimitasvir, the C(max) and AUC(0-t) were decreased by 31.1% and 31.4%, 36.0% and 31.7%, 43.6% and 39.5%, respectively. (3) In trial 3, after single and co-administration, the 90% CI of rosuvastatin C(max) and AUC(0-72) GMR were 172.4% (153.6% ~ 193.5%) and 158.0% (144.3% ~ 172.9%), respectively, with an increase of 74.9% and 60.5% compared to single dose of rosuvastatin. There were no serious adverse events and adverse events leading to withdrawal from the trial. Conclusion: Yimitasvir phosphate capsules have drug-drug interactions with sofosbuvir tablets, omeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablets, and rosuvastatin calcium tablets.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of extended radical resection for stage pT3 gallbladder cancer (GBC). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 323 patients with stage pT3 GBC who received regional radical resection or extended radical resection in 7 domestic hepatobiliary centers in China from January 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The propensity score matching method was used to select 36 cases in each of the regional radical resection group (group A1) and the extended radical resection group (group B1). The surgical indicators and overall survival rates of the two groups were compared, and prognostic factors were analyzed. Results: The number of positive lymph nodes [2(0,3)] and the total number of lymph nodes removed [3(1,4)] in group B1 were both higher than those in group A1 [1(0,1), 4(2,7)] (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in other clinical and pathological factors between the two groups (all P>0.05). The 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates of group A1 were 75%, 44%, and 29%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of group B1 of 50%, 15%, and 11% (χ(2)=11.311, all P<0.001). Extensive radical resection (HR=2.161, 95%CI: 1.222-3.821), hepatic parenchymal invasion (HR=2.324, 95%CI: 1.305-4.139), positive lymph node rate ≥1/3 (HR=2.927, 95%CI: 1.641-5.220), and ⅢB/ⅣB staging (HR=3.325, 95%CI: 1.750-6.320) are risk factors for the prognosis of GBC patients (all P<0.05), of which extended radical resection (HR=1.969, 95%CI: 1.083-3.581) was an independent risk factor for prognosis (P<0.05). When the ratio of positive lymph nodes was<1/3 and the tumor invaded the hepatic parenchyma, the overall survival rate of group B1 was significantly lower than that of group A1 (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The overall survival rate in patients with stage pT3 GBC whose lymph node positive rate<1/3 and/or hepatic parenchymal invaded cannot be improved by extended radical resection. Extended radical resection is an independent risk factor for patient prognosis.

Abstract
Transmembrane channel-like (TMC) genes encode a family of evolutionarily conserved membrane proteins. Mutations in the TMC1 and TMC2 cause deafness in humans and mice. However, their functions in insects are is still not well known. Here we cloned three tmc genes, Nltmc3, Nltmc5, and Nltmc7 from brown planthoppers. The predicted amino acid sequences showed high identity with other species homologs and have the characteristic eight or nine transmembrane domains and TMC domain architecture. We detected these three genes in all developmental stages and examined tissues. Interestingly, we found Nltmc3 was highly expressed in the female reproductive organ especially in the oviduct. RNAi-mediated silencing of Nltmc3 substantially decreased the egg-laying number and impaired ovary development. Our results indicate that Nltmc3 has an essential role in the ovary development of brown planthoppers.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the preparation and preliminary research on the characteristics of modified nano-bioglass hydrogel. Methods: (1) The nano-bioglass suspension was prepared by adding 67 mL nano-silica suspension into 400 mL saturated calcium hydroxide solution, and its suspension stability was observed. (2) The hydrogel with final mass fraction of 10% gelatin and 1% sodium alginate was prepared and set as control group. On the basis of the hydrogel in control group, the nano-bioglass suspension prepared in experiment (1) was added to prepare the hydrogel with the final mass fraction of 0.5% bioglass, 10% gelatin, and 1% sodium alginate, and the hydrogel was set as the experimental group. The gelling time at 4 and 25 ℃and the dissolution time at 37 ℃ of hydrogel in 2 groups were recorded, and the gelation at 4 and 25 ℃and dissolution condition at 37 ℃of the hydrogel in 2 groups were observed. The hydrogel in 2 groups were collected and cross-linked with 25 g/L calcium chloride solution after cold bath at 4 ℃, and the compression modulus was measured by Young's modulus tester. In addition, the hydrogel in 2 groups were collected and cross-linked as before, and freeze-drying hydrogel was made at -20 ℃. The relative volumes were measured and the porosity of hydrogel in 2 groups was calculated. The number of sample in the experiment was 3. (3) Fibroblasts (Fbs) were isolated and cultured from 12 C57BL/6J mice of 24 hours old and the morphology was observed by inverted microscope, and the third passage of Fbs were cultured for the following experiment. Fbs were collected to make single cell suspension with the cell concentration of 1×10(5)/mL. The single cell suspension was divided into experimental group and control group according the random number table (the same grouping method below), which were added with hydrogel in experimental group and control group prepared in experiment (2), respectively. At culture hour 12, 24, and 48, cells of 3 wells in each group were collected to detect the survival rate by cell counting kit 8 method. (4) The third passage Fbs were collected to prepare the single cell suspension with the cell concentration of (3.0~4.5)×10(7)/mL, which was divided into experimental group and control group, with 1 tube in each group. The single cell suspension in 2 groups were added with green fluorescent probe DIO for staining and then added with 9 mL hydrogel in experimental group and control group prepared in experiment (2), respectively. The mixed solution of Fbs and hydrogel in 2 groups was cross-linked as before to make cell-loaded hydrogel. On culture day 3, the survival of cells in the hydrogel was observed by laser confocal microscope. The cell-loaded hydrogel was prepared as before and without added with green fluorescent probe DIO. On culture day 7, the adhesion and extension of cells in the hydrogel were observed by scanning electron microscope. (5) Twelve 6-week-old female BALB/c-nu nude mice were collected and divided into experimental group and control group, with 6 mice in each group. A round full-thickness skin defect wound with diameter of 1 cm was made on the back of each mouse. Immediately after injury, one cell-loaded hydrogel block in the experimental group and the control group prepared in experiment (4) was placed in the wound of each mouse in the experimental group and the control group, respectively. On post injury day (PID) 7 and 14, 3 nude mice in each group were sacrificed to collect the wound and wound margin tissue, which was stained with hematoxylin-eosin to observe the wound healing. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test. Results: (1) The nano-bioglass particles could be uniformly dispersed in water and had good suspension stability. (2) The hydrogels of the 2 groups were molten at 37 ℃, and no precipitation of particle was observed. The dissolving time of the hydrogel in the experimental group and the control group at 37 ℃ was 5 and 10 min, respectively. The gelation time of the hydrogel in the experimental group and the control group at 25 ℃ was 30 and 180 min, respectively, and the gelation time of the 2 groups at 4 ℃ was 5 and 10 min, respectively. The compression modulus of hydrogel in the experimental group was (53±6) kPa, which was significantly higher than (23±6) kPa in the control group (t=6.364, P<0.01). The porosity of the hydrogel in the experimental group was (86.1±2.1)%, which was similar to (88.2±4.4)% in the control group (t=1.210, P>0.05). (3) The cells were in long fusiform, and the proportion of nuclei was high, which was accorded with the morphological characteristics of Fbs. At culture hour 12, 24, and 48, the survival rate of cells in the experimental group was (84±4)%, (89±4)%, and (130±10)%, which was similar to (89±5)%, (90±4)%, and (130±11)% in the control group, respectively (t=1. 534, 0.611, 0.148, P>0.05). (4) On culture day 3, the cells in the two groups had complete morphology in the hydrogel, no nuclear lysis or disappearance were observed, the cytoplasm remained intact, and the fluorescence intensity of the cells in the experimental group was significantly stronger than that in the control group. On culture day 7, the cells in the experimental group and the control group adhered and stretched in the hydrogel, and the number of cells in the experimental group adhered to the hydrogel was significantly more than that in the control group. On PID 7, the wound area of the nude mice in the control group and the experimental group were reduced, the reduction area of mice in the experimental group was more obvious, and a large amount of inflammatory cells were seen in and around the wound in the 2 groups. On PID 14, the wound area of the nude mice in the control group was larger than that of the experimental group, and the number of inflammatory cells in and around the wound was significantly more than that in the experimental group. Conclusions: Nano-bioglass hydrogel possesses good physical, chemical, and biological properties, cell loading potential, and the ability to promote wound healing, which means it has a good potential in clinical application.

Abstract
Objective: To develope and validate a reliable and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determination of vardenafil concentration in plasma of rat. Methods: Plasma samples of normal Sprague-Dawley rats were collected. A Phenomenex Synergi Polar-RP 80A column (2.0 mm×50 mm, 4 µm) was used. Column temperature was set at 30 ℃. Mobile phase A was 0.1% formic acid in water; mobile phase B was 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. The flow rate was 0.4 ml/minutes. Quantitative determination was performed by electrospray ionization, operating in positive ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Cisapride was used as the internal standard. The feasibility of the method was evaluated by examining its specificity, linearity and quantitative range, precision and accuracy, matrix effects, and stability. Results: Under the selected chromatographic and mass spectrometry conditions, the monitoring ions of vardenafil and internal standard were mass-to-charge ratio(m/z) 489.3/151.2 and 466.4/234.2, the retention times of vardenafil and internal standard were 2.62 and 2.80 minutes, respectively, and the peak shape was satisfactory. The method has good linearity in the concentration range of 0.2-200 ng/ml. The intra-batch precision (%CV) and accuracy (%DEV) of vardenafil were 1.5%-9.7% and -6.8%-6.6%, respectively. The inter-batch precision and accuracy of vardenafil were 3.1% -8.4% and -3.7%-4.6%, respectively. In this sample processing method, the extraction recovery rate of vardenafil was obtained at range of 88.2%-104.6%, which met the requirements for the investigation of extraction recovery rate. In this sample processing method, the normalized matrix factor of each quality control concentration of vardenafil was 1.04, 0.85, and 1.04, and the coefficient of variation (%CV) was in the range of 1.7%-10.7%, which met the requirements for the investigation of matrix effects. Variations of short-term stability, long-term stability, and stability of 4 freeze-thaw cycles of vardenafil was within ±15%, and the coefficient of variation were within 5%. Conclusion: The high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method established in this study is feasible for the measurement of concentration of vardenafil in rat plasma and this method has good specificity and high accuracy, and can be used to detect the concentration of vardenafil in rat plasma.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the pathogens and molecular-epidemiologic characteristics of viral meningo-encephalitis in Zhejiang province during 2002 to 2018. Methods: All the samples were collected from suspected patients admitted to the hospitals under the monitoring program. Of the total samples, 2 173 were cerebrospinal fluids while the other 455 were stool specimens. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were subject to real-time qPCR for the detection of Human enterovirus (HEV), Mumps virus (MuV), Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Stool sample were subject to real-time qPCR for HEV. ELISA was used to detect the IgM antibodies in CSF, in the 5 kinds of virus mentioned above. VP1 genes from all RNA-positive specimen were amplified, sequenced, for typing and for evolution analysis. Results: 871 (40.1%) of the 2 173 samples were detected as HEV nucleic acid positive during 2002 to 2018. 654 (38.1%) of the 1 718 CSF sample were HEV nucleic acid positive while 217 (47.7%) of the 455 stool sample were HEV nucleic acid positive. Among the total positive nucleic acid sample, 670 of them were VP1 sequence positive, including 5 HEV-A and 665 HEV-B. There were 23 HEV serotypes, including Coxsackievirus (CV) CVA4, CVA6, CVA9, CVA10, CVB1-5, Echovirus (EchoV; E) E3, E4, E6,E7, E9, E11, E14, E16, E18, E21, E25, E30, E33 and EV-71. The top three serotypes went to E30, E6 and CVB5. These three serotypes presented enhanced viral activity in every several years. 795 CSF samples were detected as virus nucleic acid positive, including 374 HEV, 6 MuV, 5 HSV and 5 CMV, from 2012 to 2015 and in 2018. 5 kinds of IgM antibodies were detected simultaneously in 368 CSF samples, including 2 HEV positive, 6 JEV positive and 1 MuV positive for 5 viruses, respectively. Except for EV-71, there were 517 EchoV and 152 CV viruses presented, with the ratio of 3.4∶1. These two kinds of viruses alternately changed for each predominant epidemic strains in every 3-5 years. Based on VP1, results from the phylogenetic tree showed that HEV from Zhejiang province clustered into HEV-A and HEV-B clades respectively. E30 developed both h and i sub-genotypes. Conclusions: HEV-B seemed the main pathogen for viral meningo-encephalitis in Zhejiang province. Ratio of positive detection on EchoV was significantly higher than that on CV. These two kinds of virus alternately presented changing tendency in every several years. Predominant epidemic strains E30, CVB5 and E6 were presenting enhanced viral activity, also in every several years. High correlation was found in both HEV viral activity from the surveillance sites and in time line of the viral meningo-encephalitis outbreaks.

Abstract
Background and Aim Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a type of cancer with high mortality rates. The overexpression of microRNA-519d (miR-519d) has been explored in different types of cancers, which could significantly help suppress cancer development. This study aimed to investigate the interaction of miR-519d with its target gene, Rab10, as well as its effects on cell proliferation and autophagy in HCC cells through modulation of the AMPK signaling pathway. Methods Microarray analysis was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in HCC, and the target genes of the screened-out miRNA were predicted and verified. The expression of miR-519d and Rab10, AMPK signaling pathway-related proteins, apoptosis- and autophagy-related proteins was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis in HCC tissues and cell lines. Lastly, the effects of miR-519d and Rab10 in HCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, and mouse tumour xenograft in vivo were examined through gain- and loss-of-function experiments. Results MiR-519d was down-regulated and Rab10 was upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-519d decreased the expression of Rab10, mTOR, and Bcl-2, but increased the expression of Bax, Beclin1, Atg5, and p53. Upregulated miR-519d and downregulated Rab10 expression suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis and autophagy in HCC cells. Finally, upregulation of miR-519d inhibited tumour growth in vivo. Conclusion The result obtained in this study indicates that up-regulation of miR-519d inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis and autophagy of HCC cells through activation of the AMPK signaling pathway via downregulating Rab10, which provides a potential target for the treatment of HCC.
