Abstract
Calorie restriction (CR) by 30-40% decreases morbidity of age-related diseases and prolongs the lifespan of various laboratory animal species. Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is an important nutrient for lipid metabolism as it conjugates bile acids. Here, we investigated how taurine supplementation induces effects similar to the CR beneficial effects. Sprague Dawley rats were fed a diet containing different taurine concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0%) to analyze the effects on growth, blood, and hepatic parameters. Rats fed a 5% taurine-supplemented diet showed a significant decrease in visceral fat weight, compared with control rats. Moreover, there were significant decreases in the serum total cholesterol, hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in the taurine-supplemented groups compared with the control group in a dose-dependent manner. These results were associated with decreased mRNA expression of fatty acid synthase, and increased mRNA expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1α. C57BL/6 mice were fed a 5.0% taurine-supplemented diet, and their response to 3-nitropropionic acid-induced oxidative stress was analyzed. The rate of weight loss due to oxidative stress decreased and the survival rate significantly increased in the taurine-supplemented groups compared with the control group. Finally, cells were treated with 100 μM taurine and their resistance to UV-induced oxidative stress was analyzed. We found that the p53-Chk1 pathway was less activated in taurine-treated cells compared with control cells. Furthermore, damage to cells evaluated by oxidative stress indicators revealed a reduction in oxidative damage with taurine treatment. These findings suggest that taurine partially acts as a CR mimetic.

Abstract
It is very difficult to gain a better understanding of the events in human pregnancy that occur during and just after implantation because such pregnancies are not yet clinically detectable. Animal models of human placentation are inadequate. In vitro models that utilize immortalized cell lines and cells derived from trophoblast cancers have multiple limitations. Primary cell and tissue cultures often have limited lifespans and cannot be obtained from the peri-implantation period. We present here two contemporary models of human peri-implantation placental development: extended blastocyst culture and stem-cell derived trophoblast culture. We discuss current research efforts that employ these models and how such models might be used in the future to study the "black box" stage of human pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The clinical practice of three-dimensional TOF-MRA, despite its capability in brain artery assessment, has been hampered by the relatively long scan time, while recent developments in fast imaging techniques with random undersampling has shed light on an improved balance between image quality and imaging speed. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of TOF-MRA accelerated by compressed sensitivity encoding and to identify the optimal acceleration factors for routine clinical use. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred subjects, enrolled at 5 centers, underwent 8 brain TOF-MRA sequences: 5 sequences using compressed sensitivity encoding with acceleration factors of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (CS2, CS4, CS6, CS8, and CS10), 2 using sensitivity encoding with factors of 2 and 4 (SF2 and SF4), and 1 without acceleration as a reference sequence (RS). Five large arteries, 6 medium arteries, and 6 small arteries were evaluated quantitatively (reconstructed signal intensity, structural similarity, contrast ratio) and qualitatively (scores on arteries, artifacts, overall image quality, and diagnostic confidence for aneurysm and stenosis). Comparisons were performed among the 8 sequences. RESULTS The quantitative measurements showed that the reconstructed signal intensities of the assessed arteries and the structural similarity consistently decreased as the compressed sensitivity encoding acceleration factor increased, and no significant difference was found for the contrast ratios in pair-wise comparisons among SF2, CS2, and CS4. Qualitative evaluations showed no significant difference in pair-wise comparisons among RS, SF2, and CS2 (P > .05). The visualization of all the assessed arteries was acceptable for CS2 and CS4, while 2 small arteries in images of CS6 were not reliably displayed, and the visualization of large arteries was acceptable in images of CS8 and CS10. CONCLUSIONS CS4 is recommended for routine brain TOF-MRA with balanced image quality and acquisition time; CS6, for examinations when small arteries are not evaluated; and CS10, for fast visualization of large arteries.

Abstract
Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a severe, disabling condition with unknown etiology. Misdiagnosis is common when clinical symptomology criteria are used solely. Considerable evidence suggests that the upregulation of inflammatory factors and cortisol, and a decrease in neurotrophic factors, are involved in the pathogenesis of MDD. Objectives This study explored the application of platforms composed of these serum proteins in the objective diagnosis of MDD. Methods Serum samples from all participants including 30 MDD patients and 30 well-matched healthy controls were collected at enrollment, eight serum proteins selected initially according to previous studies were analyzed with ELISA. A logistic regression model with these proteins was built to construct the diagnostic platform for the MDD and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic potential of the model. Results Among the eight selected proteins, three (TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta) were removed because the measurements in more than 1/3 participants were below the detectable limits of ELISA kits. Forward logistic stepwise regression analysis screened out three serum proteins including BDNF, cortisol and IFN-gamma to build the model. The regression equation was Z = 1/[1 + e−(1.438+0.005(BDNF)-0.049(cortisol)-0.007(IFN-gamma))], and the diagnostic efficacy of thees three proteins-combined achieved an area under the ROC curve of 0.884 with sensitivity of 86.7% and specificity of 83.3%. Conclusions The results of this study provided a more reliable method to diagnose MDD, and the combination of serum BDNF, cortisol and IFN-gamma may provide an objective diagnostic platform for MDD.

Abstract
Introduction Associations between childhood trauma (CT), social support (SS), brain functions and major depressive disorder (MDD) is unknown. Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether brain functions mediated associations between CT, SS, and MDD. Methods 164 MDD and 98 healthy controls (HC) were recruited and measured by HAMD-24 and HAMA. Some completed CT questionnaire (CTQ) and social support rating scale (SSRS). We examined amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) between the two groups and correlations between HAMD-24, HAMA and ALFF in MDD. Then, the peak voxels of the ALFF changed regions were used as seeds to analyze whole-brain functional connectivity (FC). Next, correlations between FC and clinical variables of MDD were performed. Last, mediation analysis was used to further determine whether ALFF or FC could mediate the associations between CT, SS, and different clinical variables in MDD patients. Results Compared to HC, MDD showed decreased ALFF in right posterior cingulate (PCC_R), left postcentral gyrus, right precentral gyrus, and left thalamus (THA_L), but increased ALFF in right medial frontal gyrus, left subgenual anterior cingulate, and left middle occipital gyrus as well as decreased FC in bilateral PCC and THA_R. HAMD-24 had negative correlation with ALFF of THA_L, while positive with sexual abuse (SA) score in MDD. Mediation analysis revealed that FC of PCC_R mediated association between SA and baseline HAMD-24, and itself or together with SS mediated association between CT and onset age of MDD. Conclusions CT may influence the depression severity and onset age of MDD by moderating FC of PCC_R only or together with SS.

Abstract
AIM To conduct a retrospective population-based study to examine the risk of developing diabetes after delivery in First Nations and non-First Nations women in Alberta. METHODS Delivery records (1999-2014) were linked to provincial administrative data, which allowed for a maximum follow-up of 16 years after delivery. Prevalence of pregnancy risk factors were compared by First Nations status. Hazard ratios for diabetes after delivery by First Nations status, high pre-pregnancy body weight (≥91 kg) and gestational diabetes status were estimated using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Age-adjusted prevalence of gestational diabetes (7.9% vs 4.6%; P<0.0001), high pre-pregnancy body weight (18.8% vs 10.2%; P<0.0001) and diabetes after delivery (3.9% vs 1.1%; P<0.0001) were higher in First Nations women than in non-First Nations women. Development of diabetes after delivery was higher with First Nations status (hazard ratio 3.0, 95% CI 2.6-3.4), high pre-pregnancy body weight (hazard ratio 3.6, 95% CI 3.3-4.0) and gestational diabetes status (hazard ratio 19.2, 95% CI 17.9-20.6). The highest risk was within First Nations women with high pre-pregnancy body weight and gestational diabetes (hazard ratio 54.8, 95% CI 45.2-66.5) compared to women without these three risk factors. Reduced prenatal visits per pregnancy (8.4 vs 10.7; P<0.0001) and delayed first prenatal visit (time to delivery 23.7 vs 26.7 weeks; P<0.0001) were observed in First Nations women compared to non-First Nations women. CONCLUSION First Nations women are at greater risk of developing diabetes after pregnancy, with gestational diabetes being the strongest predictor. Strategies that target the specific needs of First Nations women before, during and after pregnancy are required.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination is hard to avoid during dental implant surgery. Macrophages and their polarisation play a decisive role in bacterial colonisation and tissue integration on bacterially contaminated dental implants. The present study investigated the role of macrophages in stimulating tissue coverage overgrowth of contaminating oral bacteria on polished titanium (Ti-P) and acid-etched zirconium dioxide (ZrO2-MA) dental implant materials. Different co-culture models were employed to determine phagocytosis rates of Streptococcus mitis or Staphylococcus aureus contaminating a dental implant surface and the influence of contaminating bacteria and osteoblasts (U2OS) on macrophage polarisation. S. aureus was phagocytized in higher numbers than S. mitis in bi-cultures on smooth Ti-P surfaces. Contaminating S. mitis stimulated near full polarisation of macrophages from a non-Ym1-expressing- to a Ym1-expressing-phenotype on smooth Ti-P, but on ZrO2-MA both phenotypes occurred. In tri-cultures with U2OS-cells on smooth Ti-P, a larger percentage of macrophages remained in their non-Ym1-expressing, "fighting" M1-like phenotype to clear Ti-P surfaces from contaminating bacteria. On ZrO2-MA surfaces, more macrophages tended towards their "fix- and-repair" M2-like phenotype than on Ti-P surfaces. Surface coverage of smooth, bacterially contaminated Ti-P surfaces by U2OS-cells was more effectively stimulated by fighting, M1-like macrophages than on ZrO2-MA surfaces. Comprehensive guidelines are provided for the development of infection-resistant, dental implant materials, including bacteria, tissue and immune cells. These guidelines point to more promising results for clinical application of Ti-P as compared with ZrO2-MA.

Abstract
We report a study of the processes of e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}D_{s}^{-}D^{*0} and K^{+}D_{s}^{*-}D^{0} based on e^{+}e^{-} annihilation samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at BEPCII at five center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.628 to 4.698 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 3.7 fb^{-1}. An excess of events over the known contributions of the conventional charmed mesons is observed near the D_{s}^{-}D^{*0} and D_{s}^{*-}D^{0} mass thresholds in the K^{+} recoil-mass spectrum for events collected at sqrt[s]=4.681 GeV. The structure matches a mass-dependent-width Breit-Wigner line shape, whose pole mass and width are determined as (3982.5_{-2.6}^{+1.8}±2.1) MeV/c^{2} and (12.8_{-4.4}^{+5.3}±3.0) MeV, respectively. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The significance of the resonance hypothesis is estimated to be 5.3 σ over the contributions only from the conventional charmed mesons. This is the first candidate for a charged hidden-charm tetraquark with strangeness, decaying into D_{s}^{-}D^{*0} and D_{s}^{*-}D^{0}. However, the properties of the excess need further exploration with more statistics.

Abstract
White matter lesions (WMLs) are a type of cerebrovascular disorder accompanied by demyelination and cognitive decline. Dl-3-n-butylphthalide (D1-NBP) is a neuroprotective drug used for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, although the function of DI-NBP on WML is still not clear. This study aims to investigate whether DI-NBP affects cognitive function and ameliorates demyelination in a model of WML. The bilateral carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) mouse model and in vitro brain slice cultures with low glucose and low oxygen (LGLO) treatment were adopted. The Dl-NBP was administered intragastrically for 28 days after BCAS or added at a dose of 50 μm for 48 h after LGLO. Spatial learning and memory were evaluated by an eight-arm radial maze. Demyelination was detected using a TEM. Mitochondrial dynamics were assessed by time-lapse imaging in the cultured brain slices. The function of the synapse was evaluated by the patch clamp technique. In BCAS mice, obvious demyelination and cognitive decline were observed, while both were significantly relieved by a high-dose D1-NBP treatment (100 mg/kg). Along with demyelination, mitochondrial accumulation in the axons was significantly increased in the BCAS mice model, but with the treatment of a high-dose D1-NBP, mitochondrial accumulation was mitigated, and the anterograde/retrograde transport of mitochondria was increased. Following the improved anterograde/retrograde transport of mitochondria, the synapse activity was significantly upregulated while the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was remarkably decreased in the cultured brain slices. In addition, we identified syntaphilin (SNPH) as the downstream target of D1-NBP. The overexpression of SNPH mediated the effects of D1-NBP in mitigating axonal mitochondrial accumulation. In conclusion, the D1-NBP treatment significantly relieved demyelination and improved spatial learning and memory in the WML model by promoting mitochondrial dynamics. These neuroprotective effects of D1-NBP were mediated by inhibiting the mitochondrial arching protein, SNPH, which provided a potential therapeutic target for WML.

Abstract
We present an analysis of the process ψ(3686)→Ω^{-}Ω[over ¯]^{+} (Ω^{-}→K^{-}Λ, Ω[over ¯]^{+}→K^{+}Λ[over ¯], Λ→pπ^{-}, Λ[over ¯]→p[over ¯]π^{+}) based on a dataset of 448×10^{6} ψ(3686) decays collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII electron-positron collider. The helicity amplitudes for the process ψ(3686)→Ω^{-}Ω[over ¯]^{+} and the decay parameters of the subsequent decay Ω^{-}→K^{-}Λ (Ω[over ¯]^{+}→K^{+}Λ[over ¯]) are measured for the first time by a fit to the angular distribution of the complete decay chain, and the spin of the Ω^{-} is determined to be 3/2 for the first time since its discovery more than 50 years ago.

Abstract
Metastasis, a powerful prognostic indicator of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), is chiefly responsible for poor cancer outcomes. Despite an increasing number of studies examining the mechanisms underlying poor outcomes, the development of potent strategies is hindered by insufficient characterization of the crucial regulators. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been gaining interest as significant modulators of OSCC metastasis; however, the detailed mechanisms underlying lncRNA-mediated OSCC metastasis remain relatively uncharacterized. Here, we identified a novel alternative splice variant of oral cancer overexpressed 1 (ORAOV1), named as ORAOV1-B, which was subsequently validated as an lncRNA and correlated with OSCC lymph node metastasis; significantly increased invasion and migration were observed in ORAOV1-B-overexpressing OSCC cells. RNA pulldown and mass spectrometry identified Hsp90 as a direct target of ORAOV1-B, and cDNA microarrays suggested TNFα as a potential downstream target of ORAOV1-B. ORAOV1-B was shown to directly bind to and stabilize Hsp90, which maintains the function of client proteins, receptor-interaction protein, and IκB kinase beta, thus activating the NF-κB pathway and inducing TNFα. Additionally, TNFα reciprocally enhanced p-NF-κB-p65 and the downstream epithelial-mesenchymal transition. ORAOV1-B effects were reversed by a TNFα inhibitor, demonstrating that TNFα is essential for ORAOV1-B-regulated metastatic ability. Consistent epithelial-mesenchymal transition in the ORAOV1-B group was demonstrated via an orthotopic model. In the metastatic model, ORAOV1-B significantly contributed to OSCC-related lung metastasis. In summary, the novel splice variant ORAOV1-B is an lncRNA, which significantly potentiates OSCC invasion and metastasis by binding to Hsp90 and activating the NF-κB-TNFα loop. These findings demonstrate the versatile role of ORAOV1 family members and the significance of genes located within 11q13 in promoting OSCC. ORAOV1-B might serve as an attractive OSCC metastasis intervention target.

Abstract
Nutrient management, as described in NRCS Code 590, has been intensively investigated, with research largely focused on crop yields and water quality. Yet, due to complex processes and mechanisms in nutrient cycling (especially the nitrogen (N) cycle), there are many challenges in evaluating the effectiveness of nutrient management practices across site conditions. We therefore synthesized data from peer-reviewed publications on subsurface-drained agricultural fields in the Midwest U.S. with corn yield and drainage nitrate-N (NO3-N) export data published from 1980 to 2019. Through literature screening and data extraction from 43 publications, we obtained 577 site-years of data with detailed information on fertilization, corn yields, precipitation, drainage volume, and drainage NO3-N load/concentration or both. In addition, we estimated flow-weighted NO3-N concentrations ([NO3-N]) in drainage for those site-years where only load and volume were reported. Furthermore, we conducted a cost analysis using synthesized and surveyed corn yield data to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different nutrient management plans. Results from the synthesis showed that N fertilizer rate was strongly positively correlated with corn yields, NO3-N loads, and flow-weighted [NO3-N]. Reducing N fertilizer rates can effectively mitigate NO3-N losses from agricultural fields; however, our cost analysis showed negative economic returns for continuous corn production at lower N rates. In addition, organic fertilizers significantly boosted corn yields and NO3-N losses compared to inorganic fertilizers at comparable rates; however, accurate quantification of plant-available N in organic fertilizers is necessary to guide appropriate nutrient management plans because the nutrient content may be highly variable. In terms of fertilizer application methods, we did not find significant differences in NO3-N export in drainage discharge. Lastly, impact of fertilization timing on NO3-N export varied depending on other factors such as fertilizer rate, source, and weather. According to these results, we suggest that further efforts are still required to produce effective local nutrient management plans. Furthermore, government agencies such as USDA-NRCS need to work with other agencies such as USEPA to address the potential economic losses due to implementation of lower fertilizer rates for water quality improvement.

Abstract
Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) is an unusual lymphoid neoplasm, and nearly 50% of patients still relapse after standard therapy. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) signaling plays a vital role in the progression of cHL. Anti-PD-1 antibodies such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab have thus been approved to treat relapsed/refractory (R/R) cHL. Tislelizumab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal anti- PD-1 antibody. In contrast to other anti-PD-1 antibodies, the Fc fragment of tislelizumab was engineered to improve the efficacy of PD-1 antibody to a certain extent. In the phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03209973), tislelizumab proved its efficacy and safety as a new PD-1 inhibitor to treat Chinese patients with R/R cHL, with a high overall response rate of 87.1% including complete response in 62.9% enrolled patients. Both the median progression-free survival and the median duration of overall response were not reached. In this monograph, we have reviewed the main preclinical and clinical findings in the study of tislelizumab for the treatment of R/R cHL.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics, risk factors for critical illness and death of severe adenovirus pneumonia in children, so as to provide clinical evidences for early diagnosis and reliable treatment. Methods: A total of 75 pediatric cases with severe adenovirus pneumonia admitted to Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January to October 2019 were studied. The clinical features, laboratory and imaging data, therapeutic approaches, efficacy of the treatments and prognosis were investigated retrospectively. Patients were divided into severe group and critical group. Chi square test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used to analyze the data of the two groups. The risk factors for critical illness and death were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Results: Among the 75 children, there were 52 males and 23 females, aged from 3 months to 8 years, including 30 of severe cases and 45 of critical case. The positive rate of adenovirus antigen in nasopharyngeal swab was 21% (15/72), and the positive rate of serum adenovirus IgM antibody was only 13% (10/75). However, the positive rate of adenovirus nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swab was 75% (21/28). What is more, the positive rates of metagenomics next generation sequencing (mNGS) in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were 92% (33/36) and 96% (54/56), respectively, of which 95% (63/66) were confirmed as adenovirus type 7. Relatively high dose of ribavirin and integrated therapeutic approaches (respiratory support, glucocorticoids, immunoglobulin and organ supportive therapies) were used. The recovery rate was 77% (58/75), the improvement rate was 8% (6/75) and the mortality rate was 15% (11/75). The proportion of children with the duration of fever longer than 3 days after ribavirin treatment in the critical group was significantly higher than that in the severe group(51% (18/35) vs. 8% (2/26), χ2=12.949, P<0.05). The risk factors for critical illness were younger than 4 years, longer duration of fever before and after admission to PICU, oxygenation index<300 mmHg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), ferritin>1 000 μg/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)>1 500 U/L, 5 lung lobes involvement, pleural effusion and (or) air leakage (all P<0.05). Among them, 5 lung lobes involvement was the independent risk factor for critical illness (adjusted OR=49.641, 95%CI 4.186-588.618, P=0.002). Risk factors for death included longer duration of fever after being admitted to PICU, oxygenation index<100 mmHg, ferritin>2 000 μg/L, interleukin (IL)-6>100 ng/L, LDH>1 500 U/L, pleural effusion and (or) air leakage (all P<0.05). Among them, IL-6>100 ng/L was the independent risk factor for the mortalities of critically ill children (adjusted OR=16.094, 95%CI 2.059-25.787, P=0.008). Conclusions: The mortality rate of severe pediatric adenovirus pneumonia caused by adenovirus type 7 is high. High positive rates of adenovirus nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swabs and mNGS in plasma or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid contribute to early diagnosis, and mNGS can also be used for serotyping. Younger children under 4 years of age, persistent fever, extensive pulmonary lesions and significantly increased inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 are warning indicators for critical illness and poor prognosis. Relatively high dose of ribavirin combined with integrated therapeutic approaches are beneficial for prognosis.

Abstract
Invitro culture (IVC) systems fail to completely recapitulate the invivo environment, resulting in metabolic stress during pre-implantation development and reduced blastocyst quality. We hypothesised that IVC-induced metabolic dysregulation in bovine embryos is mediated by changes in expression and/or activity of protein biomarkers associated with key metabolic pathways. Our objectives were to determine (1) expression of enzymes involved in glycolysis (HK-2, PKM2, LDHA, B and C isoforms), entry into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle (PDH), energy sensing/fatty acid oxidation (AMPK), and the metabolic signalling pathways (AKT, ERK, STAT3, 4EBP1) at the 1-cell (1C), 8- to 16-cell (8–16 C), and Day 7 blastocyst (d7BL) stage; and (2) evaluate the functional activity of these proteins both invivo (superovulated and flushed) and invitro (IVM/IVF/IVC) produced embryos using capillary Western blot (Protein-Simple, JESS; n=1 embryo/stage; n=3 replicates). For each protein, expression was normalized with total protein abundance in the same capillary and functional activity was determine based on the ratio of phosphorylated (p) to total (t) protein abundance in each sample. Data were analysed using a two-sample t-test. Results demonstrated significantly (P<0.05) decreased LDHB expression at 1C, decreased functional activity of PDH at 8–16 C, and a trend (P<0.09) for decreased activity of PDH and PKM2 enzymes in 1C embryos produced invitro. These results suggest a reduced ability of PKM2 to produce pyruvate in glycolysis, as well as reduced ability of LDHB to reversibly convert pyruvate into lactate and of PDH to convert pyruvate into acetyl-CoA for metabolism in the TCA cycle, indicating an overall slowing of aerobic metabolism. In contrast, expression of STAT3 and ERK1/2 in all stages examined, AKT in 8–16C and d7BL, and 4EBP1 in d7BL were significantly (P<0.05) higher in IVP embryos. In addition to expression, decreased (P<0.05) activity of ERK1/2, AKT, and 4EBP1 signalling at 1C, and a trend (P<0.08) for decreased expression of 4EBP in 8–16C and d7BL produced invitro was observed. Activated AKT signalling enhances glucose uptake by stimulating hexokinase. Because the activity of glycolytic enzymes (PKM2, LDHB, PDH) is reduced at the 1-cell stage invitro, these embryos may be shifting metabolism to the pentose phosphate pathway, which might increase the ability of the embryo to protect against oxidative stress induced by the IVC environment. We observed a remarkable change in metabolic enzyme expression and activity invitro as early as the 1C stage, suggesting that bovine embryos are highly susceptible to metabolic stress even at this early stage of development. Collectively, these results point to specific abnormalities of metabolism in IVP embryos and suggest that differentially expressed proteins and their functional activity can be used as biomarkers in optimizing culture conditions to produce high-quality embryos invitro that more closely resemble their invivo counterparts.

[PMID: 33285241 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2020.109873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2020] [Revised: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Generally, impaired bones heal by bone repair and bone regeneration. These two processes are necessary during the healing period of dental implant. Vasculature plays a crucial role in bone healing because bones are highly vascularized tissue. Osteogenesis and angiogenesis are highly coupled processes and can be regulated by Hippo-YAP signaling pathway. Recent studies have demonstrated Hippo-YAP pathway may be regulated by alpha calcitonin gene-related peptide. However, the regulatory effects of αCGRP-YAP pathway on angiogenesis and osteogenesis during bone healing around implants remain unclear. Four groups of mice were established: KO Group: αCGRP -/- mice; KO + αCGRP group: αCGRP -/- mice with αCGRP overexpressing lentiviral transfection; KO + YAP group: αCGRP -/- mice with YAP overexpressing lentiviral transfection; WT group: wildtype mice. After 14 or 28 days, animals were sacrificed and tested. Results showed αCGRP deficiency hampered osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition, the impaired bone healing can be rescued by overexpressing αCGRP and YAP in αCGRP -/- mice. In-vivo results indicate αCGRP-YAP pathway promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis in bone healing, especially at the early stage. Taken together, present study demonstrated αCGRP up-regulate the expression of YAP, and down-stream genes to promote the osteogenesis and angiogenesis around the implants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory infection caused by novel coronavirus 2019. Many individuals suffered psychological symptoms in the early stage when the epidemic was uncertain. We explored the perceived psychological stress and associated factors in the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic. METHOD The Perceived Stress Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale and a general information questionnaire were integrated in an on-line survey conducted from February 1, 2020 until February 4, 2020. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to explore whether coping style, social support or other factors contributed to psychological stress. RESULTS A total of 1638 participants were included, of whom 44.3% showed moderate psychological stress. Individuals who were younger, female, unmarried, spent more time on the disease, felt more concern about it, reported lower social support (Subjective Social support; Objective social support; Utilization social support), or showed a negative coping style were more likely to suffer higher psychological stress in the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic. CONCLUSION Psychological interventions may be targeted to individuals with the risk characteristics identified in this study. It may be helpful to promote social support and positive coping style in the early stage of infectious disease epidemics. This initial evidence from the general Chinese population may be relevant to interventions in other countries for dealing with the COVID-19 and other epidemics.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship of early tumor shrinkage (ETS) and depth of response (DpR) with the prognosis and treatment effect of trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in advanced gastric cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) positive. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological data of 23 patients with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed by imaging in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 1st, 2008 to December 31th, 2017. Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used for the survival analysis. Cox regression was used to analyze the factors associated with prognosis. Results: The objective response rate (ORR) of the 23 patients was 43.5% and the disease control rate (DCR) was 82.6%. Univariate analysis showed the median progress-free survival (mPFS) of ETS≥20% and ETS<20% were 13.0 months and 4.5 months, respectively, with statistical significance (P<0.001). The median overall survival (mOS) of ETS≥20% and ETS<20% were 26.8 months and 10.1 months, respectively, with statistical significance (P<0.001). The median progress-free survival (mPFS) of DpR≥15% and DpR<15% were 13.0 months and 4.5 months, respectively, with statistical significance (P=0.001). The median overall survival (mOS) of DpR≥15% and DpR<15% were 26.8 months and 9.5 months, respectively, with statistical significance (P<0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed ETS was an independent factor of PFS (P=0.030), tumor site and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score were independent factors of OS (P<0.05). Conclusion: ETS and DpR might be used to predict the treatment efficacy and prognosis of trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy as the first-line treatment of HER-2 positive gastric cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) 8344 A>G (m.8344A>G) mutation is the common mutation associated with mitochondrial myoclonus epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRF) syndrome. Herein we report a rare case with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes/MERRF/Leigh (MELAS/MERRF/Leigh) overlap syndrome caused by m.8344A>G mutation. METHODS The clinical and imaging data of the patient were collected and an open muscle biopsy was carried out. We further employed molecular genetic analyses to detect mtDNA mutation in the proband and his mother. And then a clinical and neuroimaging follow-up was performed. RESULTS This patient was a 25-year-old male, who developed exercise intolerance since the age of 6. At age 10, he suffered from acute episodes of hemianopia, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed occipital stroke-like lesions and cranial magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) revealed a lactate peak corresponding to the lesion. After that the patient presented slowly progressive psychomotor decline. He had myoclonic seizures and cerebellar ataxia since the age of 12. At age 21, he was admitted to our hospital because of confusion and cranial MRI revealed symmetrical lesions in bilateral posterior putamen, thalami and midbrain. Then repeated MRI showed progression of original lesions and new frontal multiple stroke-like lesions. Symptomatic and rehabilitation treatment relieved his condition. Follow-up cranial MRI at age 24 showed the lesions in basal ganglia and thalami diminished, and the midbrain lesions even completely vanished. Muscle pathology indicated the presence of numerous scattered ragged-red fibers (RRF), suggestive of a mitochondrial disorder. Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) detected the m.8344A>G mutation of the MT-TK gene encoding mitochondrial transfer RNA for lysine in the patient's blood. Next generation sequencing (NGS) of the whole mitochondrial genome identified that the proportion of m.8344A>G was 90%, and no other mtDNA mutation was detected. Sanger sequencing further identified this mutation both in the proband and his mother's blood, although the mutation load was much lower in his mother's blood with approximately 10% heteroplasmy. CONCLUSION The present study is the first to describe a patient with m.8344A>G mutation in association with the MELAS/MERRF/Leigh overlap syndrome, which expands the phenotypic spectrum of the m.8344A>G mutation.

Abstract
Using 2.93 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, the first observation of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D^{+}→K^{+}π^{+}π^{-}π^{0} is reported. After removing decays that contain narrow intermediate resonances, including D^{+}→K^{+}η, D^{+}→K^{+}ω, and D^{+}→K^{+}ϕ, the branching fraction of the decay D^{+}→K^{+}π^{+}π^{-}π^{0} is measured to be (1.13±0.08_{stat}±0.03_{syst})×10^{-3}. The ratio of branching fractions of D^{+}→K^{+}π^{+}π^{-}π^{0} over D^{+}→K^{-}π^{+}π^{+}π^{0} is found to be (1.81±0.15)%, which corresponds to (6.28±0.52)tan^{4}θ_{C}, where θ_{C} is the Cabibbo mixing angle. This ratio is significantly larger than the corresponding ratios for other doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays. The asymmetry of the branching fractions of charge-conjugated decays D^{±}→K^{±}π^{±}π^{∓}π^{0} is also determined, and no evidence for CP violation is found. In addition, the first evidence for the D^{+}→K^{+}ω decay, with a statistical significance of 3.3σ, is presented and the branching fraction is measured to be B(D^{+}→K^{+}ω)=(5.7_{-2.1}^{+2.5}_{stat}±0.2_{syst})×10^{-5}.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the mental state of medical staff and medical students in the early stages of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, as well as analyze the risk factors of serious mental illness (SMI), so as to provide a scientific basis for further psychological intervention and management. METHOD A cross-sectional survey was conducted from February 2-7, 2020. The Kessler 6 Psychological Distress Scale and a general information questionnaire were administered on-line to a convenience sample of 548 medical staff and medical students in China. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of SMI in medical staff and medical students. RESULTS Of the 505 respondents in the final analysis, 188 (37.23%) were at high risk of SMI. Respondents were at significantly higher risk of SMI if they had been suspected of being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 (OR = 7.00, 95% CI: 1.19-41.14), had relatives suspected of being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 (OR = 23.60, 95% CI: 1.11-501.30), felt concerned towards media coverage of outbreak-related information (OR = 11.95, 95% CI: 3.07-46.57), recently dreamed related to SARS-CoV-2 (OR = 4.21, 95% CI: 2.22-8.01), experienced difficulty in controlling emotions during SARS-CoV-2 epidemic (OR = 3.25, 95% CI: 1.66-6.37), or spent hours watching outbreaks per day (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.13-1.46). CONCLUSION Our findings highlight that medical staff and medical students were vulnerable to SMI during the early stages of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and identify the factors associated with SMI which can be used to formulate psychological interventions to improve the mental health. The independent risk factors for SMI among them are suspicion that they or relatives were infected with the SARS-CoV-2, greater interest in media reports about the epidemic, frequency of recent dreams related to SARS-CoV-2, difficulty in controlling emotions during the epidemic, and hours spent watching outbreaks per day.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the regulatory effect of miRNA-1236-3p on the cellular behaviors of osteosarcoma (OS) cells, and to provide novel hallmarks and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of OS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Relative level of miRNA-1236-3p in OS tissues and cell lines was determined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Regulatory effects of miRNA-1236-3p on the proliferative ability of HOS and U-2OS cells were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Through flow cytometry, the potential influences of miRNA-1236-3p on cell cycle progression and apoptosis of OS cells were examined. Subsequently, the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was conducted to explore the binding of KLF8 (Krüppel-like factor 8) to miRNA-1236-3p. Regulatory effects of KLF8 on cellular behaviors of OC cells were also evaluated. RESULTS MiRNA-1236-3p was downregulated in OS tissues relative to controls. Meanwhile, miRNA-1236-3p was lowly expressed in OS with worse TNM stage or distant metastasis. The overexpression of miRNA-1236-3p in HOS and U-2OS cells suppressed the proliferative ability, arrested the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase and induced apoptosis. Conversely, miRNA-1236-3p knockdown obtained the opposite trends. KLF8 was verified to bind to miRNA-1236-3p, and its expression was negatively regulated by miRNA-1236-3p in OS cells. A series of functional experiments displayed the oncogenic role of KLF8 in OS. CONCLUSIONS MiRNA-1236-3p is downregulated in OS tissues and cell lines. The overexpression of miRNA-1236-3p suppresses the proliferative ability and induces apoptosis of OS cells via downregulating KLF8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore whether microRNA-579-3P was involved in the development of osteoporosis, and to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms. PATIENTS AND METHODS The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of microRNA-579-3P, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) in serum samples of osteoporosis patients and normal controls were detected by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), respectively. Meanwhile, the expressions of the above genes during osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were examined as well. To investigate the effect of microRNA-579-3P on osteogenesis, microRNA-579-3P was overexpressed and knocked down in hMSCs. Subsequently, the mRNA and protein expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes, such as ALP, RUNX2 and BSP, were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. In addition, ALP activity and mineralization forming ability were evaluated by ALP staining and alizarin red staining. Bioinformatics predicted that Sirt1 was the target gene of microRNA-579-3P. Subsequent luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the binding relationship of microRNA-579-3P to Sirt1. Meanwhile, qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the changes in the mRNA and protein expression levels of Sirt1, respectively. After overexpression of microRNA-579-3P and Sirt1, qRT-PCR, Western blot, ALP staining and alizarin red staining assays were performed to detect the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. RESULTS The expression of microRNA-579-3P in serum of patients with osteoporosis was significantly higher than that of normal controls. Meanwhile, the expression of microRNA-579-3P decreased gradually during osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Overexpression of microRNA-579-3P significantly reduced the expressions of osteogenic related genes, including ALP, RUNX2 and BSP. Besides, ALP activity and mineralized nodule formation ability decreased obviously as well. Luciferase reporter gene assay showed that microRNA-579-3P could bind to Sirt1. After overexpression of microRNA-579-3P, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Sirt1 were significantly reduced, which were reversed after silence of microRNA-579-3P. Simultaneous overexpression of microRNA-579-3P and Sirt1 could reverse the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs caused by overexpression of microRNA-579-3P alone. CONCLUSIONS MicroRNA-579-3P could inhibit osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs by regulating Sirt1, thereby promoting the development of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Objective: To analysis the clinical characteristics and to summarize therapy experience of pediatric patients with cardiac syncope caused by anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus (ALCA-R). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data including clinical manifestations, myocardial injury biomarkers, radiological features, treatments and prognoses of pediatric patients with ALCA-R who were admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital from November 2015 to June 2018. Results: Four female patients were included in this analysis, age of onset was 7 to 14 years. All the patients presented with exercise-induced syncope and acute myocardial infarction. During the course, three patients presented with acute left heart failure, and one patient had history of sudden cardiac arrest. Laboratory data showed significant elevation of both the creatine kinase and troponin levels in four patients. All electrocardiogram (ECG) showed left main coronary artery occlusion, echocardiography suggested the possible anomalous origin of the left coronary artery in one child. Coronary CT angiography (CTA) revealed there was no coronary ostium in the left coronary sinus, and the left coronary artery had an anomalous origin from the right sinus. The left main coronary artery passed between the ascending artery and the root of the main pulmonary artery, which was compressed by these two large vessels. Two patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination, which detected late gadolinium enhancement in ALCA-R with an interarterial course. Unroofing of the left coronary ostium (cut-back procedure) was performed in two patients, and the other two patients who were not operated were recommended to restrict their physical activities. During a regular follow-up period of 12-43 months, all the children survived without recurrent cardiovascular event. Conclusion: If an adolescent presents with exercise-induced syncope, acute myocardial infarction and even sudden death, and ECG shows left main coronary artery occlusion characteristics, we should consider the possibility of developmental abnormality of coronary artery, particularly the ALCA-R. Once diagnosed as ALCA-R, patients should be recommended to avoid strenuous activities,early recognition and surgical treatment are imperative for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-139-3p (miR-139-3p) in glioblastoma, and further explored the underlying molecular mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset (accession code GSE90603) was selected to identify differentially expressed microRNAs in glioblastoma. The level of miR-139-3p in glioblastoma tissues and cell lines was detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), colony formation, wound healing, and transwell invasion assays were applied to assess the role of miR-139-3p in glioblastoma cells growth and aggressiveness. The direct target of miR-139-3p was confirmed using luciferase reporter assay. NIN1/RPNI2 binding protein 1 homolog (NOB1), specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA), and lentiviral vector encoding NOB1 stable transfections were done. The expression levels of NOB1 were detected by Western blotting and qRT-PCR. Glioblastoma cells were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice to determine the role of miR-139-3p in tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. RESULTS miR-139-3p was remarkably down-expressed in glioblastoma tissue compared to control normal tissue. Overexpression of miR-139-3p suppressed the growth and metastasis of glioblastoma cells. Moreover, miR-139-3p inhibited glioblastoma growth and lung metastasis in vivo, whereas under-expression of miR-139-3p caused an opposite outcome. Furthermore, our work revealed that NOB1 expression was negatively associated with miR-139-3p, and NOB1 knock-down mimicked the inhibitory effect of miR-139-3p on glioblastoma cell proliferation and mobility phenotypes. Finally, overexpression of NOB1 neutralized the inhibition of miR-139-3p in glioblastoma cells. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that miR-139-3p played a vital role in inhibiting glioblastoma growth and metastasis by targeting NOB1.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the prognostic factors in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with cetuximab and establish a prognostic nomogram and validate its accuracy. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Patients were selected as following criteria: patients with metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC), which primary site confirmed by pathology and metastatic lesions confirmed by CT or MRI with at least one measurable and evaluable target lesion; patients' expected survival longer than 3 months; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score between 0 to 2; patients have signed informed consent; both KRAS and NRAS genes were wild-type; and at least 2 cycles of cetuximab combined with chemotherapy as the first-line regimen. Patients who met the following criteria were excluded: patients with incomplete clinicopathological and follow-up data; patients with severe diseases of vital organs such as heart, brain, lung, kidney, or other advanced malignant tumors; patients without informed consent. According to the above criteria, clinicopathological data of 95 patients with mCRC admitted in the Department of Medical Oncology, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine for first-line treatment with cetuximab from January 2010 to January 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the clinicopathological factors to determine the independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival(PFS). The R software was adopted to establish a prognostic nomogram model. Then, the nomograms of 6-month, 12-month and 18-month progression-free survivals (PFS) were drawn, and compared with the reality. The internal validation and accuracy of the nomogram were determined by the Bootstrap method and also the calculated concordance index (C-index). Results: The median follow-up time was 16.5 (2-43) months and the median PFS was 8.5 months. PFS at 6-,12- and 18-month was 73.7%, 35.8%, and 17.9%, respectively. ECOG score of 1-2 (HR=5.733, 95% CI:2.408-13.649, P<0.001), primary tumor was located in the ileocecal region (HR=5.880, 95% CI:1.645-21.023, P=0.006), Ki-67 index ≥45% (HR=3.574,95% CI:1.403-9.108,P=0.008), baseline D-dimer level ≥345 mg/L (HR=2.536,95% CI:1.531-7.396, P=0.012), NLR≥2.8 (HR=5.573,95% CI:2.107-14.740,P=0.001) and the combined treatment for FOLFOX (HR=0.465, 95% CI: 0.265-0.817, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for PFS of mCRC patients (all P<0.05). These independent risk factors were taken into account to construct a nomogram prediction model. The bootstrap method was used to perform internal validation, and the C-index of the nomogram prediction model in this study was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.64~0.71). The 6-, 12- and 18-month PFS predicted by the nomogram were consistent with the actual values. Conclusion: The nomogram model constructed by ECOG score, primary tumor site, Ki-67 index, baseline D-dimer level, baseline NLR and chemotherapy regimen may predict the prognosis of mCRC patients treated with cetuximab more accurately and individually, which can assist clinicians in making treatment decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the clinic, therapeutic options for pulmonary arterial hypertension are limited; therefore, investigating the therapeutic strategies and novel therapies is critical for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the role of miRNA-126 (miR-126) and its associated signaling pathways and specific mechanisms for the pathogenesis of PAH. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) were isolated and identified. The miR-126 mimic and miR-126 inhibitor were synthesized. LV-3-miR-126 mimic viral vector and LV-3-miR-126 inhibitor vector were established and infected into pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Expression of sprouty-related EVH1 domain-containing protein 1 (SPRED1), phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 2 (PIK3R2) and miR-126 were detected using Real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Cell apoptosis (Annexin V-PE/7-AAD) and proliferation (PKH26) were examined by using FACScan flow cytometry. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and TGF-β3 levels were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. RESULTS miR-126 inhibited the endothelial cells related to SPRED1 and PIK3R2 expression. Over-expression of miR-126 significantly inhibited the PAECs apoptosis compared to PAECs and blank LV-3 vector group (p<0.05). miR-126 significantly triggered the PAECs proliferation compared to PAECs and blank LV-3 vector group (p<0.05). In functional analysis, miR-126 mimic significantly increased the cells amounts of S phases compared to PAECs and blank LV-3 vector group (p<0.05). Pre-infection with miR-126 mimic significantly enhanced the levels of VEGF, TGF-β1, and TGF-β3 compared to PAECs and blank LV-3 vector group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS miR-126 could affect cell apoptosis, proliferation, cell cycle, and modulate VEGF/TGF-β levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological status of the general population in mainland China during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to explore the factors influencing psychological distress, in order to provide the basis for further psychological intervention programs. METHODS We administered three questionnaires on-line to a convenience sample of the general population from different regions of mainland China from February 1 to February 4, 2020. We used the Mandarin versions of the six-item Kessler psychological distress scale (K6), the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). We also collected demographic data and other information related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing psychological distress. RESULTS Of 1607 respondents, 1588 returned valid questionnaires and were included in the analysis. Nearly one quarter (22.8%) had high levels of psychological distress (K6 score ≥ 13). Individuals with higher psychological distress were more likely to be unmarried, spend more than 6 h per day searching for information about COVID-19, more frequently adopt a passive coping style, and report less social support than those with lower psychological distress. CONCLUSIONS The COVID-19 outbreak in China has a great impact on the mental health status of the general population. Active coping strategies and increased social support are significantly correlated with decreased psychological distress, and may serve as the basis for psychological interventions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to elucidate the neuronal protection effect of sodium butyrate (NaB) on neuronal apoptosis in rats with cerebral infarction (CI), and the involvement of the phosphatidilinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathways. MI model in rats was performed by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Three hours after reperfusion, gastric administration of 5 or 10 mg/kg NaB was performed. Neurological deficit score, infarct size and brain edema were evaluated in rats after 24 h of reperfusion. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to determine contents of oxidative stress factors. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, cell viability and apoptosis in extracted neurons were determined. Moreover, expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, Akt and ERK1/2 were examined. NaB treatment markedly reduced infarct size and brain edema content in CI rats, and NaB treatment improved viability, decreased LDH activity and reversed contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, NaB treatment dose-dependently reduced apoptotic rate and Bax level, as well as enhanced Bcl-2 level. Protein levels of Akt and ERK1/2 were markedly upregulated in NaB-treated neurons. NaB treatment alleviates neuronal apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 pathways in CI rats, thus protecting the deterioration of CI.

Abstract
From 1310.6×10^{6} J/ψ and 448.1×10^{6} ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII experiment, we report the first observation of Σ^{+} and Σ[over ¯]^{-} spin polarization in e^{+}e^{-}→J/ψ[ψ(3686)]→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-} decays. The relative phases of the form factors ΔΦ have been measured to be (-15.5±0.7±0.5)° and (21.7±4.0±0.8)° with J/ψ and ψ(3686) data, respectively. The nonzero value of ΔΦ allows for a direct and simultaneous measurement of the decay asymmetry parameters of Σ^{+}→pπ^{0}(α_{0}=-0.998±0.037±0.009) and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→p[over ¯]π^{0}(α[over ¯]_{0}=0.990±0.037±0.011), the latter value being determined for the first time. The average decay asymmetry, (α_{0}-α[over ¯]_{0})/2, is calculated to be -0.994±0.004±0.002. The CP asymmetry A_{CP,Σ}=(α_{0}+α[over ¯]_{0})/(α_{0}-α[over ¯]_{0})=-0.004±0.037±0.010 is extracted for the first time, and is found to be consistent with CP conservation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate white spot lesion (WSL) remineralization and fluoride uptake by the application of fluoride varnishes directly onto artificial WSLs in vitro. METHODS MI varnish containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and 2.26% fluoride and Duraphat varnish containing 2.26% fluoride (no added calcium) were compared with a placebo varnish (no added calcium or fluoride). Two WSLs were prepared in enamel slabs and varnish applied to cover one of the two lesions. Each slab was immersed in artificial saliva for 14 days at 37°C. Mineral content was determined using transverse microradiography and fluoride uptake using electron probe microanalysis. The data were statistically analysed using a linear mixed model. RESULTS Both MI and Duraphat varnishes significantly remineralized the covered and uncovered WSLs when compared with the placebo varnish (P < 0.001). The WSLs covered with varnish showed greater remineralization than those uncovered. MI varnish produced the highest level of remineralization and significantly greater fluoride uptake (0.44 ± 0.08 wt%) compared with Duraphat (0.24 ± 0.03 wt%) and the placebo varnish (0.06 ± 0.05 wt%). CONCLUSION Varnish containing fluoride and CPP-ACP was superior to varnish containing fluoride alone in promoting WSL remineralization and fluoride uptake.

Abstract
The processes X(3872)→D^{*0}D[over ¯]^{0}+c.c.,γJ/ψ,γψ(2S), and γD^{+}D^{-} are searched for in a 9.0 fb^{-1} data sample collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.278 GeV with the BESIII detector. We observe X(3872)→D^{*0}D^{0}[over ¯]+c.c. and find evidence for X(3872)→γJ/ψ with statistical significances of 7.4σ and 3.5σ, respectively. No evident signals for X(3872)→γψ(2S) and γD^{+}D^{-} are found, and the upper limit on the relative branching ratio R_{γψ}≡{B[X(3872)→γψ(2S)]}/{B[X(3872)→γJ/ψ]}<0.59 is set at 90% confidence level. Measurements of branching ratios relative to decay X(3872)→π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ are also reported for decays X(3872)→D^{*0}D^{0}[over ¯]+c.c.,γψ(2S),γJ/ψ, and γD^{+}D^{-}, as well as the non-D^{*0}D^{0}[over ¯] three-body decays π^{0}D^{0}D^{0}[over ¯] and γD^{0}D^{0}[over ¯].
