Abstract
From November to December of 2018, twenty 65-year-old or older women patients with knee osteoarthritis were recruited from the Department of Physical Therapy, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Meanwhile, twenty healthy 65-year-old or older women were recruited from the local community. The results showed that the knee contact angle of the patient group was more flexed (P=0.040), and the minimum angle of the knee joint increased (P=0.008) during the stance period compared to the healthy group. However, there was no significant difference in the maximum contact angle between the angle of hip and ankle joints. In addition, the tibialis anterior muscle of the patients was significantly smaller than the healthy group (P=0.023). Therefore, knee osteoarthritis could change the gait and muscle activity of older women, especially the knee joint.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether long-chain non-coding ANCR is involved in the progression of non-small cell LCa (NSCLC) and its possible molecular mechanisms. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to examine ANCR expression in 48 cases of NSCLC and adjacent normal tissues. In addition, ANCR level in patients of different tumor staging was analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied to analyze the interplay between ANCR expression and the prognosis of patients with NSCLC. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was performed to detect ANCR level in LCa cell lines. After knocking down ANCR in A549 cells, ANCR and E-Ca mRNA expression were examined by qRT-PCR, while the expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins were detected by Western blot. At the same time, cell viability and migration ability were analyzed through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and cell wound healing assay, respectively. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) test was performed to verify the binding of ANCR to EZH2. After knocking down EZH2 in A549 cells, E-Ca messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression was detected. Additionally, Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was performed to detect the binding of EZH2 to the E-Ca promoter region. When E-Ca and ANCR were simultaneously knocked down in A549 cells, Western blot investigation was performed to examine the expression of EMT-related proteins, while CCK-8 and wound healing assays were applied to figure out the changes in cell viability and cell migration capacity. RESULTS ANCR level was conspicuously higher in NSCLC tissues than that in normal tissues, and that in T3 and T4 tumors was also higher than that in T1 and T2. Meanwhile, ANCR expression in the tissues of patients with lymph node metastasis was conspicuously higher than those without metastasis. Survival analysis revealed that the overall survival of patients with NSCLC with high expression of ANCR was conspicuously lower than patients with low expression of ANCR. The qRT-PCR study verified that ANCR was highly expressed in the LCa cell line A549. After knocking down ANCR in A549 cells, ANCR and E-Ca mRNA levels were found conspicuously decreased, and so were the expression levels of EMT-related proteins, as well as the cell viability and migration ability. The RIP assay result indicated that ANCR can indeed bind to EZH2. E-Ca mRNA expression was elevated after the knockdown of EZH2 in A549 cells. In addition, the result of CHIP test demonstrated that EZH2 could combine with E-Ca. Simultaneous down-regulation of ANCR and E-Ca in A549 cells could reverse the influence of knocking down ANCR alone on cell viability and migration ability. CONCLUSIONS Long-chain non-coding RNA ANCR was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and could enhance the viability and malignancy of NSCLC cells by inhibiting the expression of E-Ca, thereby promoting the progression of NSCLC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association between plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and the severity of coronary artery disease, and to evaluate the impact of HDL-C levels on long-term outcomes in patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 10 458 consecutive patients underwent PCI from January 2013 to December 2013 at Fuwai hospital were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into three groups according to HDL-C tertiles: low HDL-C group (HDL-C≤0.89 mmol/L, n=3 525), median HDL-C group (HDL-C>0.89-1.11 mmol/L, n=3 570) and high HDL-C group (HDL-C>1.11 mmol/L, n=3 363). SYNTAX score was used to evaluate the severity of coronary artery disease, linear regression was used to analyze the relationship of HDL-C and SYNTAX score. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the outcomes among the three groups. Multivariate Cox regression was used to define the potential associations of HDL-C and outcomes. Results: The HDL-C level was (1.03±0.28) mmol/L and the SYNTAX score was 11.7±8.1. Patients were older, proportion of female, stable angina pectoris, successful PCI and left ventricular eject fraction value were higher, while incidence of diabetes mellitus was lower, hyperlipidemia, old myocardial infraction, smoking history and left main and three vessels disease were lower in high HDL-C group (all P<0.05). Patients in high HDL-C group also had the lowest SYNTAX score (12.2±8.4 vs. 11.7±8.1 vs. 11.2±7.8, P<0.001). Both univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis showed that HDL-C was negatively associated with SYNTAX score, e.g. Univariate analysis: β=-0.046, P<0.001; Multivariate analysis: β=-0.058, P=0.001. And 10 400 (99.4%) patients completed 2-year follow up. At 2-year follow-up, there were no difference in all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stroke, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) and stent thrombosis among three groups (P for trend>0.05), while patient in high HDL-C group experienced the highest BARC type 2 bleeding events (P for trend=0.018). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that HDL-C level was not an independent risk factor of 2-year adverse ischemia events (P>0.05) and 2-year bleeding events (P>0.05). Conclusion: In patients underwent PCI, plasma HDL-C level is negatively associated with SYNTAX score, but not an independent risk factor of ischemic and bleeding events post PCI.

Abstract
In February 2018, a 67-year-old male patient with infected abdominal aortic aneurysm was admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University Medical College. After admission, abdominal aortic endovascular exclusion surgery, right iliac artery-double femoral artery vascular bypass+ infected abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy+ stent removal surgery, and active anti-infective treatment were performed in the department of vascular surgery. Seven days after the vascular prosthesis bypass surgery, the surface skin of the vascular prosthesis of the patient was red and swollen, and there was a purulent discharge, which was diagnosed as poor healing of sinus of vascular prosthesis. Surgeons of our department and the department of vascular surgery performed incision and debridement of sinus of vascular prosthesis+ vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in the early stage under local anesthesia. After the local infection was controlled and wound blood supply was improved, stage Ⅱ surgery of resection of sinus of vascular prosthesis+ vascular prosthesis partial diversion+ local flap propulsion under general anesthesia was performed. The incision healed well after surgery, and the patient was discharged smoothly. During the follow-up of 6 months, the patient's flap was in good shape, and the wound was healed. This case prompts that after the diagnosis of infected abdominal aortic aneurysm vascular sinus poor healing, we can actively open the infected sinus, use VSD technology to treat granulation wounds, then divert the implanted vascular prosthesis to prepare fresh local flap which covers the vascular prosthesis, and use new silver ion dressing to cover the wounds, thus achieving satisfactory results.

Abstract
The welfare and healthy growth of poultry under intensive feeding conditions are closely related to their living environment. In spring, the air quality considerably decreases due to reduced ventilation and aeration in cage systems, which influences the meat quality and health of broilers during normal growth stages. In this study, we analyzed the airborne bacterial communities in PM2.5 and PM10 in cage broiler houses at different broiler growth stages under intensive rearing conditions based on the high-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing technique. Our results revealed that PM2.5, PM10 and airborne microbes gradually increased during the broiler growth cycle in poultry houses. Some potential or opportunistic pathogens, including Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, Microbacterium, etc., were found in the broiler houses at different growth stages. Our study evaluated variations in the microbial communities in PM2.5 and PM10 and potential opportunistic pathogens during the growth cycle of broilers in poultry houses in the spring. Our findings may provide a basis for developing technologies for air quality control in caged poultry houses.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to investigate Streptococcus suis strains present in Jiangsu province, China. METHODS AND RESULTS In all, 1650 nasal and anal swab samples and 100 tonsils were collected from clinically healthy swine. Culture characteristics, colony morphology and PCR-based analysis of the glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) gene were performed for S. suis identification, and eight isolates were confirmed to be S. suis. The isolates serogroups were identified by agglutinating test, including 4, 7, 3, 5 and 8. Gene profiling by PCR showed that the manN, purD, orf2, gdh genes were conserved among the isolates and that 50% of the isolates carried dltA, pgdA, srtA and sspA. Antimicrobial susceptibility test showed the isolates displayed resistance to clindamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, penicillin G, vancomycin and linezolid; while none was resistant to chloramphenicol, multi-drug resistance was seen in most of the isolates. Finally, the LD50 (assessed by zebrafish) of isolates RD105 was 2·6431 × 105 and HA24 was 7·1198 × 106 , which showed RD105 more virulent and was consistent with the results of virulence factor identification. CONCLUSIONS There is a very low proportion of S. suis in the healthy pigs. The virulence factors were related to pathogenicity. Bacteria in Nantong possess greater virulence potential than those in Huaian. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Systematic investigation of S. suis provided the most basic theoretical support for the prevention and control of swine streptococcosis.

Abstract
The study aimed to investigate whether sulforaphane (SFN) protects against angiotensin II (Ang II)-mediated human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury. Ang II treatment decreased HUVEC viability, increased cell apoptosis, decreased mitochondria membrane potential (MMP), impaired cytochrome c release, activated caspase 3/9, and induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activity. Moreover, SFN treatment blunted Ang II-stimulated oxidative stress and mitochondria-related apoptosis in HUVECs. The ROS scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine reduced Ang II-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis, indicating that ROS generation is involved in the Ang II-induced mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway. SFN induced nuclear factor erythroid 2 (Nrf2) activation and expression in Ang II-stimulated HUVECs. Downregulation of Nrf2 expression by a target-specific siRNA revealed an Nrf2-dependent effect on the SFN-mediated attenuation of Ang II-induced apoptosis in HUVECs. Pretreatment with brusatol, an Nrf2-specific inhibitor, reversed the protective effects of SFN on Ang II-induced HUVEC injury. SFN treatment protected HUVECs from Ang II-induced damage by decreasing oxidative stress and ameliorating mitochondrial injury.

Abstract
WSL8 encoding a deoxyribonucleoside kinase (dNK) that catalyzes the first step in the salvage pathway of nucleotide synthesis plays an important role in early chloroplast development in rice. The chloroplast is an organelle that converts light energy into chemical energy; therefore, the normal differentiation and development of chloroplast are pivotal for plant survival. Deoxyribonucleoside kinases (dNKs) play an important role in the salvage pathway of nucleotides. However, the relationship between dNKs and chloroplast development remains elusive. Here, we identified a white stripe leaf 8 (wsl8) mutant that exhibited a white stripe leaf phenotype at seedling stage (before the four-leaf stage). The mutant showed a significantly lower chlorophyll content and defective chloroplast morphology, whereas higher reactive oxygen species than the wild type. As the leaf developed, the chlorotic mutant plants gradually turned green, accompanied by the restoration in chlorophyll accumulation and chloroplast ultrastructure. Map-based cloning revealed that WSL8 encodes a dNK on chromosome 5. Compared with the wild type, a C-to-G single base substitution occurred in the wsl8 mutant, which caused a missense mutation (Leu 349 Val) and significantly reduced dNK enzyme activity. A subcellular localization experiment showed the WSL8 protein was targeted in the chloroplast and its transcripts were expressed in various tissues, with more abundance in young leaves and nodes. Ribosome and RNA-sequencing analysis indicated that some components and genes related to ribosome biosynthesis were down-regulated in the mutant. An exogenous feeding experiment suggested that the WSL8 performed the enzymic activity of thymidine kinase, especially functioning in the salvage synthesis of thymidine monophosphate. Our results highlight that the salvage pathway mediated by the dNK is essential for early chloroplast development in rice.

Abstract
There has been a recent surge of interest and progress in creating subwavelength free-space optical potentials for ultracold atoms. A key open question is whether geometric potentials, which are repulsive and ubiquitous in the creation of subwavelength free-space potentials, forbid the creation of narrow traps with long lifetimes. Here, we show that it is possible to create such traps. We propose two schemes for realizing subwavelength traps and demonstrate their superiority over existing proposals. We analyze the lifetime of atoms in such traps and show that long-lived bound states are possible. This work allows for subwavelength control and manipulation of ultracold matter, with applications in quantum chemistry and quantum simulation.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has supported an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women and elderly men diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. However, it is not uncommon for young and middle-aged male patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to suffer from osteopenia or osteoporosis. Few studies focused on this population group are available. The aim of this study is to evaluate bone metabolic status and investigate the influence of T2DM on bone metabolism in 30-50-year-old men. Anthropometric assessment and blood samples were obtained from 160 patients with T2DM and 69 nondiabetic volunteers. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone turnover markers (BTMs), including serum procollagen type I N-terminal peptide (PINP), osteocalcin (OC), and β-cross-linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX), were analysed. No significant differences were observed based on age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, serum calcium, phosphorus, creatinine, total protein, and albumin levels when comparing T2DM and control groups. Fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly increased, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly decreased in the T2DM group. Compared with controls, diabetic patients showed lower serum PINP, OC, and PTH levels, whereas serum β-CTX levels were similar between the two groups. Moreover, HbA1c levels were positively correlated with PINP and inversely associated with PTH levels. TG levels were negatively correlated with OC or β-CTX levels. Furthermore, multiple linear regression revealed a positive correlation between HbA1c and PINP levels. These results also revealed a negative association between HbA1c and PTH, and between TG and OC levels, even after adjusting for expected confounder factors. Collectively, these findings indicated that young and middle-aged male patients with T2DM showed a lower turnover state resulting from bone formation inhibition. Glucose and lipid metabolic disorders may affect bone formation through different pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Treatment of the high-risk triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a critical clinical challenge. Here we aimed to explore a novel strategy for TNBC treatment by blocking the tumor-associated chemokine CXCL13 in the MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with anti-CXCL13 antibodies (inhibition group), or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (control group), followed by determining the levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effects of CXCL13 inhibition on cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Quantitative Real Time-PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to compare the levels of CXCL13, CXCR5, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). The levels of cyclin D1 and cleaved caspase-9 were detected by Western blot. RESULTS The levels of IL-1, TNF-α and TGF-β1 in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with anti-CXCL13 antibodies were significantly downregulated (p<0.05). Meanwhile, CXCL13 blockade decreased the cell proliferation and increased the apoptosis rate of MDA-MB-231 cells. The inhibition of CXCL13 led to marked reduction in CXCL13 and CXCR5 mRNA and an increase in ERK mRNA. The inhibition of CXCL13 resulted in the downregulation of CXCL13, CXCR5, p-ERK/ERK, cyclin D1 and upregulation of cleaved caspase-9 proteins. CONCLUSIONS CXCL13 blockade effectively suppressed the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells by promoting cell apoptosis. This effect is presumably associated with the downregulation of CXCL13 and suppression of the CXCR5/ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Nine laboratories participated in an interlaboratory method performance (collaborative) study of a method for the determination of sodium in foods by flame atomic absorption spectrometry after wet digestion, using a microwave oven technique. Before the study, the laboratories were able to practice on samples with defined sodium levels (pretrial test). The method was tested on a total of 6 foods (broccoli, carrot, bread, saithe fillet, pork, and cheese) with sodium concentrations of 1480–8260 mg/kg. The materials were presented to the participants in the study as blind duplicates, and the participants were asked to perform single determinations for each sample. The repeatability relative standard deviations (RSDr) for sodium ranged from 1.9 to 6.5%. The reproducibility relative standard deviations (RSDR) ranged from 4.2 to 6.9%. The HorRat values ranged from 0.9 to 1.6.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of thrombocytopenia (TP) in Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The study was conducted based on the Chinese SLE Treatment and Research group (CSTAR) registry. Thrombocytopenia was defined as the platelet count<100,000/mm3 at enrollment. Severe thrombocytopenia was defined as the platelet count<50,000/mm3. The prevalence of SLE-related TP, the associations of thrombocytopenia with demographic data, organ involvements, laboratory findings, disease activity, damage, and mortality were investigated. Results Of 2104 patients with SLE, 342 patients (16.3%) were diagnosed with thrombocytopenia. The prevalence of neuropsychiatric SLE, vasculitis, myositis, nephritis, mucocutaneous lesions, pleuritis, fever, leukocytopenia and hypocomplementemia were significantly higher in patients with thrombocytopenia (p<0.05). SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) was significantly higher in patients with thrombocytopenia (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that leukocytopenia (OR = 2.644), lupus nephritis (OR = 1.539), hypocomplementemia (OR = 1.497) and elevated SLEDAI (OR = 1.318) were independently associated with thrombocytopenia (p<0.05). Long disease duration (OR = 1.006) was an independent risk factor of severe thrombocytopenia, while anti-rRNP (OR = 0.208) was an independent protective factor of severe thrombocytopenia (p<0.05). Long disease duration was an independent risk factor of mortality in patients with thrombocytopenia (RR = 1.006). The 6-year survival of patients with thrombocytopenia was significantly lower than patients without thrombocytopenia (88.2% vs. 95.5%). Conclusions Thrombocytopenia was a common manifestation of SLE and was associated with leukocytopenia, nephritis and severe disease activity. Severe thrombocytopenia tended to occur in long-term and relatively inactive SLE. Patients with SLE-related thrombocytopenia has a decreased long-term survival rate. Long disease duration was an independent risk factor of mortality in patients with thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) is usually diagnosed based on the presence of immature lymphoid marker terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), and T-cell specific markers, specifically CD3, by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining on bone marrow and/or extramedullary tissue. We present a novel, TdT and CD3 negative, aggressive early T-cell precursor LBL (ETP-LBL) initially misdiagnosed as a high grade B-cell lymphoma due to expression of CD79a and the erroneous detection of BCL2/IGH fusion. The patient was eventually evaluated using molecular diagnostic techniques, including fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and next generation sequencing (NGS) assays that demonstrated PICALM-MLLT10 fusion and a NOTCH1 mutation in the absence of BCL2/IGH fusion. The use of NGS, specifically mate-pair sequencing (MPseq), subsequently confirmed an in-frame PICALM-MLLT10 fusion. Our retrospective analysis showed that PICALM-MLLT10 fusion has no association with CD3/TdT negativity, as 6/49 T-ALL/LBL cases from Mayo Clinic database (01/1998-09/2018), including this case, were noted to have PICALM-MLLT10 fusion; however, none of the other cases were associated with CD3/TdT negativity. We emphasize the importance of a comprehensive hematopathologic evaluation including multiple molecular studies for the appropriate interrogation and classification of a difficult acute leukemia diagnosis, and to prevent potential diagnostic errors of clinical significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a complex health intervention, based on the combination of conventional Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), in an outpatient department of a university hospital for patients with frequent episodic or chronic tension-type headaches. METHODS/DESIGN This is a prospective randomized controlled pilot study with four balanced treatment arms (usual care, acupuncture, training, and training plus acupuncture). Each arm will have 24 patients. After the initial screening examination and randomization, a 6-week treatment period follows, with treatment frequencies decreasing at 2-week intervals. After completion of the intervention, two follow-up evaluations will be performed 3 and 6 months after the start of treatment. At predefined times, the various outcomes (pain intensity, health-related quality of life, pain duration, autonomic regulation, and heart rate variability) as well as the participants' acceptance of the complex treatment will be evaluated with valid assessment instruments (Migraine Disability Assessment, PHQ-D, GAD-7, and SF-12) and a headache diary. The acupuncture treatment will be based on the rules of TCM, comprising a standardized combination of acupuncture points and additional points selected according to individual pain localization. The training therapy comprises a combination of strength training, endurance training, and training to improve flexibility and coordination. Besides descriptive analyses of the samples, their comparability will be assessed using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) or chi-squared tests. Analyses will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Potential interaction effects will be calculated using a repeated-measures ANOVA to test the primary and secondary hypotheses. In supplementary analyses, the proportion of treatment responders (those with a 50% reduction in the frequency of pain episodes) will be determined for each treatment arm. DISCUSSION This trial may provide evidence for the additive effects of acupuncture and medical training therapy as a combination treatment and may scientifically support the implementation of this complex health intervention.

Abstract
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that surrounds the urethra of males at the base of the bladder comprising a muscular portion, which controls the release of urine, and a glandular portion, which secretes fluids that nourish and protect sperms. Here, we report the development of a microfluidic-based model of a human prostate gland. The polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic device, consisting of two stacked microchannels separated by a polyester porous membrane, enables long-term in vitro cocultivation of human epithelial and stromal cells. The porous separation membrane provides an anchoring scaffold for long-term culturing of the two cell types on its opposite surfaces allowing paracrine signaling but not cell crossing between the two channels. The microfluidic device is transparent enabling high resolution bright-field and fluorescence imaging. Within this coculture model of a human epithelium/stroma interface, we simulated the functional development of the in vivo human prostate gland. We observed the successful differentiation of basal epithelial cells into luminal secretory cells determined biochemically by immunostaining with known differentiation biomarkers, particularly androgen receptor expression. We also observed morphological changes where glandlike mounds appeared with relatively empty centers reminiscent of prostatic glandular acini structures. This prostate-on-a-chip will facilitate the direct evaluation of paracrine and endocrine cross talk between these two cell types as well as studies associated with normal vs disease-related events such as prostate cancer.

Abstract
Mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is the main metabolite of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in organisms and is commonly used as a plasticizer. Exposure to DEHP impairs the function of islet beta cells (INS-1 cells), which is related to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. At present, some research data have also confirmed that MEHP has a certain damage effect on INS-1 cells. In our experiment, we found that MEHP would lead to the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the upregulation of autophagy. And downregulated ROS production by N-acetyl-L-cysteine could also reduce autophagy. In addition, MEHP-induced lysosomal membrane permeability (LMP) subsequently released cathepsin D. Additionally, MEHP induced the collapse of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and release of cytochrome c. Addition of autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine relieved MEHP-induced apoptosis as assessed by the expression of cleaved caspase 3, cleaved caspase 9, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay, indicating that MEHP-induced apoptosis was autophagy dependent. Cathepsin D inhibitor, pepstatin A, suppressed MEHP-induced mitochondria release of cytochrome c and apoptosis as well. Meanwhile, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a new B vitamin, improved the above phenomenon. Taken together, our results indicate that MEHP induces autophagy-dependent apoptosis in INS-1 cells by lysosomal-mitochondrial axis. PQQ improved this process by downregulating ROS and provided a degree of protection. Our study provides a new perspective for MEHP on the cytotoxic mechanism and PQQ protection in INS-1 cells.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis between male and female patients with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) post coronary intervention, and analyse the risk factors of major adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and bleeding events. Methods: This was a prospective single-center observational study. From January 2013 to December 2013, 4 744 patients diagnosed as PCAD and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Fuwai Hospital were enrolled. The general clinical data, laboratory results and interventional treatment data of all patients were collected, and patients were followed up for 2 years after PCI and the incidence of events including MACCE and bleeding was analyzed. The baseline data and clinical events of PCAD patients of different genders were compared. Survival curves were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to analyze whether gender was an influencing factor of different clinical events of PCAD patients within 2 years after PCI, and other relevant influencing factors of MACCE and bleeding events. Results: Among the 4 744 PCAD patients included, there were 3 390 (71.5%) male aged (47.0±5.4) years old and 1 354 (28.5%) female aged (57.0±5.8) years old. Compared with female patients, male patients had higher body mass index, higher proportion of hyperlipidemia, smoking, myocardial infarction, previous PCI, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, radial artery approach, intravenous ultrasound use and chronic occlusive lesions (all P<0.05). Age, left ventricular ejection fraction, prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, past stroke history, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and the use of calcium channel blockers were lower in male patients than in female patients (all P<0.05). The 2-year follow-up results showed that the incidence of BARC type 1 hemorrhage was significantly higher in female patients than in male patients (6.9%(92/1 343) vs. 3.7%(126/3 378), P<0.001); however, the incidence of MACCE, all-cause death, cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, revascularization (target vessel revascularization and target lesion revascularization), stent thrombosis, stroke and BARC type 2-5 hemorrhage were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that gender was an independent risk factor for BARC type 1 bleeding in PCAD patients (HR=2.180, 95%CI 1.392-3.416, P<0.001), but it was not an independent risk factor for MACCE and BARC type 2-5 bleeding(all P>0.05). Hyperlipidemia, preoperative SYNTAX score, multivessel lesions and NSTE-ACS were the independent risk factors for MACCE in PCAD patients with PCI (the HRs(95%CI) were 1.289(1.052-1.580), 1.030(1.019-1.042), 1.758(1.365-2.264), 1.264(1.040-1.537), respectively); gender (HR=1.579, 95%CI 1.085-2.297, P=0.017), hyperlipidemia (HR=1.305, 95%CI 1.005-1.695, P=0.046), anticoagulant drugs including low molecular weight heparin (HR=1.321, 95%CI 1.002-1.741, P=0.048) or sulfonate(HR=1.659, 95%CI 1.198-2.298, P=0.002) were the independent risk factors for bleeding events. Conclusions: There are differences in clinical and coronary artery lesion characteristics between different genders in patients with PCAD. The incidence of minor bleeding is significantly higher in female PCAD patients than in male PCAD patients. Hyperlipidemia, preoperative SYNTAX score, multivessel lesions and NSTE-ACS are the independent risk factors for MACCE, and gender, hyperlipidemia, anticoagulant drugs including low molecular weight heparin or sulfonate are the independent risk factors for bleeding events in patients with PCAD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hypoalbuminemia was reported to be associated with poor prognosis in severe diseases. Triple-vessel coronary artery disease (TVD) has high risk of death. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of hypoalbuminemia in TVD patients.
Methods
A total of 8,943 consecutive TVD patients were enrolled from April 2004 to February 2011. The primary endpoint was all-cause death and the secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction or stroke). Patients were divided into two groups according to normal serum albumin level (<4.0 g/dL and ≥4.0 g/dL).
Results
During the median of follow-up 7.5 years, 1365 deaths and 2354 MACCE occurred. Multivariate Cox regression indicated that hypoalbuminaemia (<4.0 g/dL) was an independent predictor of all-cause death (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.14–1.50, P<0.001) and MACCE (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.07–1.32, P<0.001). Adjustment of the all-cause death risk estimated by albumin improved the predictive value of SYNTAX score (AUC from 0.585 to 0.602, P=0.002; IDI=0.005, P<0.001; NRI=0.205, P<0.001). For SYNTAX II score, improvement was shown for NRI and IDI but not for AUC (SYNTAX II for PCI: IDI=0.003, P<0.001; NRI=0.205, P<0.001; AUC from 0.711 to 0.713, P=0.257; SYNTAX II for CABG: IDI=0.002, P<0.001; NRI=0.205, P<0.001; AUC from 0.696 to 0.698, P=0.120).
Predictive value for all-cause death using the AUC, NRI and IDI AUC (95% CI) P value NRI (95% CI) P value IDI (95% CI) P value SYNTAX 0.585 (0.568–0.602) Ref. Ref. – Ref. – SYNTAX + albumin 0.602 (0.586–0.619) 0.002 0.205 (0.145–0.264) <0.001 0.005 (0.004–0.007) <0.001 SYNTAX II (for PCI) 0.711 (0.696–0.726) Ref. Ref. – Ref. – SYNTAX II (for PCI) + albumin 0.713 (0.698–0.728) 0.257 0.205 (0.145–0.264) <0.001 0.003 (0.001–0.004) <0.001 SYNTAX II (for CABG) 0.696 (0.680–0.711) Ref. Ref. – Ref. – SYNTAX II (for CABG) + albumin 0.698 (0.683–0.714) 0.120 0.205 (0.145–0.264) <0.001 0.002 (0.001–0.004) <0.001
Multi-factor adjusted KM analysis in TVD
Conclusions
For TVD patients, hypoalbuminaemia was a strong independent prognostic factor for long-term outcomes of death and MACCE. Albumin improved the prediction of death with the SYNTAX score and the SYNTAX II score.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the double-differential and total muon neutrino charged current inclusive cross sections on argon at a mean neutrino energy of 0.8 GeV. Data were collected using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber located in the Fermilab Booster neutrino beam and correspond to 1.6×10^{20} protons on target of exposure. The measured differential cross sections are presented as a function of muon momentum, using multiple Coulomb scattering as a momentum measurement technique, and the muon angle with respect to the beam direction. We compare the measured cross sections to multiple neutrino event generators and find better agreement with those containing more complete treatment of quasielastic scattering processes at low Q^{2}. The total flux integrated cross section is measured to be 0.693±0.010(stat)±0.165(syst)×10^{-38} cm^{2}.

Abstract
Objective: To detect phosphorylated-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK1/2) protein expression in epithelial ovarian cancer and cell lines, and to examine the effects of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) inhibitor AZD6244 on cell proliferation, apoptosis as well as cell cycle of ovarian cancer cells. To explore the function and significance of MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in the development of ovarian cancer. Methods: (1) A total of 104 cases of patients with ovarian cancer who accepted the treatment of gynecological surgery and being confirmed by pathological examination in First Affiliated Hospital, Dalian Medical University from January 2004 to December 2013 were selected. The expressions of p-ERK1/2 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry in ovarian cancer specimens, and the relationship between the expressions of p-ERK1/2 and the clinical features of patients was analyzed. (2) p-ERK1/2 and other related proteins were determined by western blot in various ovarian cancer cells, including SKOV3, OV2008, C13, A2780S, A2780CP, OVCAR4, OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and CAOV3 treated with or without MEK inhibitor. The cellular proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of ovarian cancer cells after treatment with MEK inhibitor were analyzed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Results: (1) The immunohistochemical method showed that p-ERK1/2 between low grade serous carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma were not significantly higher expressed (P>0.05) . However, a lower level of the p-ERK1/2 expression were observed among high grade serous carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma (all P<0.05) . There was no significant correlation between the protein expression of p-ERK1/2 and patients' age, pathological stage of surgery, and preoperative serum CA(125) level (P>0.05). (2) Western blot showed that the protein p-ERK1/2 was widely expressed in various ovarian cancer cell lines such as SKOV3, OV2008, C13, A2780S, A2780CP, OVCAR4, OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and CAOV3. After treatment with AZD6244 (5, 10 μmol/L), the level of p-ERK1/2 in OVCAR5 and OVCAR8 decreased significantly in dose-dependent manner. Additionally, we found a reduction of the expression level of cyclin D1, caspase-3 and appeared cleaved poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) in OVCAR5 and OVCAR8, compared with control groups. MTT assays showed that OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and A2780S were differently inhibited in the dose-dependent manner after being treated with different concentrations of AZD6244 (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L, all P<0.05). Further tested by flow cytometry, the results showed that AZD6244 (5, 10 μmol/L) was able to induce the apoptosis of OVCAR5, OVCAR8 and A2780S, as well as G(0)/G(1) phase arrest, both in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Conclusions: As the main active and functional unit of MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, p-ERK1/2 protein is expressed in both the tissues and various ovarian cancer cell lines. AZD6244 could down-regulated the expression of p-ERK1/2 in ovarian cancer cells, accompanied by the decreased proliferation and increased cell apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. In conclusion, MAPK/ERK signaling pathway might play a role in the development and progression of ovarian cancer, and may be provide a novel option for molecular targeted therapies of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging system for root canal endoscopy, and to evaluate the accuracy of diagnosing artificial root fractures. METHODS An ultra-high-speed (40 kHz) swept laser source was developed based on the piezoelectric tuning filter and the Fourier domain mode locking (FDML) swept laser technology (patent number: 200620135940.2). Ultra-miniature gradient index lens technology (patent number: 201320241218.7) was used to create a thin endoscopic probe with a diameter of 0.86 mm for real-time image transmission. The SS-OCT light source had a wavelength of 1 310 nm and a bandwidth of 100 nm. The axial and transverse image resolutions were 15 μm and 25 μm, respectively. Artificial fractures were created on human mandibular premolars with single root and the premolar roots were prepared to 41 horizontal sections (1 mm thick). 27 root sections with fractures (width: 52-284 μm) and 14 the sections without fractures were observed under an optical stereomicroscope with a cold light source as the gold standard. The horizontal root sections were scanned by self-developed SS-OCT imaging system for root canal endoscopy with a central wavelength of 1 310 nm and bandwidth of 100 nm. The data were reconstructed with 30 μm thick slices at an interval of 30 μm. Two observers, a radiologist and an endodontist, were trained and independently evaluated all the reconstructed images blindly. The diagnostic performance of SS-OCT imaging system was calculated, and statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS SS-OCT root canal endoscopic imaging system composed of high-speed swept laser source, fiber coupler, endoscopic probe, reference arm and differential detector. Root sections could be scanned by SS-OCT and imaged in realtime at a depth of 1 to 2 mm. The kappa value for interobserver agreement was 0.792, and the intraobserver agreement was 1.000 and 0.709 for two observers respectively. All of 27 fractured root sections and 12 of 14 root sections without fractures were accurately diagnosed while 2 unfractured root sections were misdiagnosed. The sensitivity was 1.000 and the specificity was 0.857 for diagnosis of artificial root fractures by SS-OCT. The positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and the overall accuracy rate were 0.931, 1.000 and 0.951 respectively. CONCLUSION The swept source optical coherence tomography imaging system for root canal endoscopy is a promising imaging method for observing root fractures..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE β-arrestin (ARRB2) is a member of arrestin family and a negative regulatory protein of G-coupling receptor, which is closely associated with the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of the effect of ARRB2 on the damage of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which is induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). MATERIALS AND METHODS ARRB2 at different concentration was used to interfere with the damage of HUVECs induced by Ang II or RNA interference technology to interfere with the expression of HUVECs followed by addition of Ang II to culture for 24 hours. Nitrate reduction method was used to measure the content of nitric oxide (NO) and radioimmunoassay was used to measure endothelin-1; Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and flow cytometry was used to detect the intracellular level of reactive oxygen (ROS) and apoptosis of HUVECs. RESULTS Our study found that ARRB2 could significantly reduce the generation and release of ROS, endothelin-1 (ET-1), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) of HUVECs induced by Ang II and promote the generation of NO, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and scavenging in a dose-dependent manner. On the contrary, when expression of ARRB2 was disturbed by siRNA, increased generation and release of ROS, ET-1, and LDH were observed with reduced generation of NO, SOD and scavenging. In addition, ARRB2 could reverse the apoptosis of HUVECs induced by Ang II and was related to upregulate the expression of Bax. CONCLUSIONS ARRB2 could protect the damage of HUVECs induced by Ang II and the mechanism was associated with upregulation of the expression of apoptosis and anti-apoptosis protein of Bcl-2.

Abstract
1. MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNA molecules that play crucial roles in gene expression. However, the comparative profiling of testicular and ovarian microRNAs in birds are rarely reported, particularly in pigeon.2. In this study, Illumina next-generation sequencing technology was used to sequence miRNA libraries of the gonads from six healthy adult utility pigeons. A total of 344 conserved known miRNAs and 32 novel putative miRNAs candidates were detected. Compared with those of ovaries, 130 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs were identified in the testes. Among them, 70 miRNAs showed down-regulation in the ovaries, while another 60 miRNAs were up-regulated.3. Combining the results of the expression of target gene measurements and pathway enrichment analyses, it was revealed that some DEmiRNAs from the gonad samples involved in sexual differentiation and development (such as cli-miR-210-3p and cli-miR-214-3p) could down-regulate AR (androgen receptor). Cli-miR-181b-5p, cli-miR-9622-3p and cli-miR-145-5p were highly expressed in both the ovaries and testes, which could co-target HOXC9, and were related to regulation of primary metabolic processes. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that DEmiRNAs may play biological and sex-related roles in pigeon gonads.4. The expression profiles of testicular and ovarian miRNA in adult pigeon gonads are presented for the first time, and the findings may contribute to a better understanding of gonadal expression in poultry.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association of both maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with childhood overweight and adiposity in preschool children. Methods: A total of 4 303 preschool children aged 3-5 years were enrolled in our study during June and November 2016 in Guangzhou. Children defined as overweight and obesity were according to the criteria of WHO while weight status during maternal pre-pregnancy was using the China Adult Reference. Gestational weight gain was defined according to the Institute of Medicine guidelines. Results: After adjusting the possible confounding factors, results from the logistic regression analysis showed that both maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity would increase the risk for both childhood overweight and obesity (OR=1.820, 95%CI: 1.368-2.422). The analysis of covariance results also showed that both maternal overweight and obesity before pregnancy and excessive maternal weight gain during pregnancy increased the BMI Z-score in children. Maternal GWG over the recommended level were associated with both the childhood overweight and obesity (OR=1.296, 95%CI: 1.007-1.667). Joint associations of pre-pregnancy BMI and inappropriate GWG were also noticed in the study. Stratified analysis was conducted in three groups according to the pre-pregnancy BMI of the mothers. Result showed that there was no statistical difference in the risks of either overweight or obesity in children (P>0.05). However, when compared to mothers with adequate pre-pregnancy higher BMI and adequate GWG, under the combination of high pre-pregnancy BMI and excessive GWG, their adverse effects on childhood overweight and obesity were much higher (OR=1.574, 95%CI: 1.029-2.409). Conclusions: Both high pre-pregnancy BMI and inappropriate GWG were associated with greater BMI of their offspring. Pregnant women should follow the appropriate weight gain program and help their children to prevent from becoming obese.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of ABO blood groups on long-term outcome of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 4 272 patients with stable coronary artery disease and received PCI were consecutively enrolled from January to December 2013 and followed up for 2 years. Patients were divided into O group and non-O group according to their ABO groups. Multivariable COX regression was used to evaluated the relationship between ABO blood groups and prognosis of CAD. The endpoints included all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction(MI), revascularization, and stroke. Results: There were 1 302 patients in O group and 2 970 patients in non-O group. ABO blood group was not associated with age, sex and blood pressure (P>0.05). The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, family history, previous MI, previous cerebrovascular disease, previous PCI and left ventricular ejection fraction were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Total cholesterol, low density lipid cholesterol level were significantly higher in non-O group compared with O group [(4.2±1.1)mmol/L vs (4.1±1.1)mmol/L, P=0.027; (2.5±0.9)mmol/L vs (2.4±0.9) mmol/L, P=0.025], while high density lipid cholesterol level was significantly lower[(1.04±0.26) mmol/L vs (1.06±0.28) mmol/L, P=0.035]. As to angiographic results, non-O blood group was not related to the severity of coronary atherosclerosis assessed by SYNTAX score(P=0.277). More cardiac death occurred in non-O group compared with that in O group [21 (0.7%) vs 2(0.1%)] during 2-year follow-up. After adjusted for confounding factors, multivariable COX regression revealed that non-O blood type was not associated with increased cardiac death [HR (95%CI)=7.30(0.97-55.09), P=0.054]. Conclusion: Non-O blood group is associated with 2-year cardiac death in patients with stable coronary artery disease who received PCI, but it is not an independent risk factor for cardiac death.

Abstract
We report on the highest energy photons from the Crab Nebula observed by the Tibet air shower array with the underground water-Cherenkov-type muon detector array. Based on the criterion of a muon number measured in an air shower, we successfully suppress 99.92% of the cosmic-ray background events with energies E>100 TeV. As a result, we observed 24 photonlike events with E>100 TeV against 5.5 background events, which corresponds to a 5.6σ statistical significance. This is the first detection of photons with E>100 TeV from an astrophysical source.

Abstract
Abstract Objective To explore the distribution of genetic structure of Y-SNP and Y-STR genetic markers in different ethnic groups and its application in forensic science. Methods SNaPshot minisequencing was used to detect the polymorphisms of 12 Y-SNP loci in 439 males from 6 ethnic groups, including Guangxi Han, Guangxi Jing, Guangxi Miao, Guangxi Yao, Guangxi Zhuang and Guangxi Dong. DNATyperTM Y26 kit was used to multiplex-amplify 26 Y-STR loci. The PCR products were analyzed by 3130xl genetic analyzer. The network analysis of Y-STR haplotype under the same Y-SNP haplogroup was analyzed by Network 5.0 software. Results Six haplogroups defined by 12 Y-SNP loci were detected in 6 ethnic groups, and 362 haplotypes were detected in 26 Y-STR loci. The haplotype diversity was 0.996 6. In the C haplogroup, the samples from Guangxi Yao, Guangxi Zhuang and Guangxi Dong were clustered on different branches; in the O1 haplogroup, those from Guangxi Zhuang, Guangxi Miao and Guangxi Jing were relatively independent and clustered separately; in the O2 haplogroup, some samples from Guangxi Miao and Guangxi Yao were gathered in a cluster. Conclusion Based on the Y-STR network analysis of samples with identical haplogroup of Y-SNP, some ethnic groups can be preliminarily distinguished, which could be used to infer male suspects' ethnic group through detecting their genetic markers left in the crime scene.

Abstract
Abstract
The morphologies of micro-injection molded parts are influenced by the process parameters. In this paper, the influence of injection speed, mold temperature and melt temperature on the morphologies of micro-injection molded polyformaldehyde (POM) parts with different thicknesses were investigated by a single factor experimental method; the morphological structure of the parts was characterized by polarized light microscopy. The scale effect on the crystallization behavior and internal morphology of micro-injection POM parts was analyzed. The results indicated that the scale effect had a great influence on the hierarchical morphology in the thickness direction of the parts. The micro-parts with a thickness of 1.0 mm showed a skin-core structure including the skin layer, fine grain layer, oblate spherulite, and spherulite core layer, and the micro-parts with a thickness of 0.2 mm showed a skin-core structure with the skin layer, fine grain layer, and the spherulite core layer, and a larger thickness ratio of the spherulite core layer. As injection speed, mold temperature and melt temperature increase, the fine grain layer gradually disappears and the size of core spherulite tends to become larger, the thicknesses of the skin layer of all the micro-parts decrease and that of the 0.2 mm micro-parts decreases significantly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cervical cancer is one of the gynecologic tumors in the world. The main aim of this study was to elucidate the functional role of MFI2 in cervical cancer and provide novel insight into biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for cervical cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS The relative expression level of MFI2 was examined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was involved to determine the ability of cell proliferation. Flow cytometric analysis was performed to detect cell apoptosis. Transwell assay and Matrigel assay were involved to determine cell migration and invasion. Expressions of protein kinase B (AKT), phosphorylated-AKT (p-AKT), B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2), and BCL2-Associated X (Bax) protein levels were detected in Western blotting. Transfected cells were used to perform tumor xenograft formation assay. RESULTS Our research validated that MFI2 was up-regulated in cervical cancer by qRT-PCR. Through CCK-8 assay, flow cytometric analysis, transwell assay, and Matrigel assay, we verified that MFI2 can promote cell proliferation, cell metastasis and inhibit cell apoptosis in cervical cancer. Subsequently, we used Western blotting assay to determine the alteration of protein expression of p-AKT, BCL2, and Bax. The results indicated that MFI2 may exert its function by regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway. In tumor xenograft formation assay, up-regulated MFI2 accelerated tumor formation. CONCLUSIONS Current research elucidated that MFI2 promoted cell proliferation, cell metastasis and inhibited cell apoptosis in cervical cancer by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Our results may provide a novel insight into finding new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for cervical cancer.
