Abstract
Objective: To optimize the ion selective electrode method of measuring urinary fluorine in WS/T 30-1996. Methods: The volume of 5 mol/L NaOH solution was fixed to confect the TISAB buffer solution. The samples were prepared by mixing 5 ml urine and equal volume of TISAB solution. Fluorine electrode and calomel electrode was used to test. When the potential value changed less than ±0.5 mV in one minute, it could be recorded. The standard curve method was selected as a quantitive method. Results: The linear range of this method was 0.07~50.0 mg/L, E=238.96-57.50lgC, r=0.999 8. The LOD and LOQ were 0.02 mg/L and 0.07 mg/L (with 5 ml urine) , respectively. The RSD of intra -and inter-batch precision were 0.80%~2.82% and 2.17%~2.86%, respectively. The recovery rate was 102%~107%. The urine sample could be preserved stably for 14 days at room temperature, and for 30 days at 4 ℃ and -20 ℃. Conclusion: In this method, the preparation process of TISAB buffer solution was simplified, and the linear range was expanded. It could meet the needs of occupational population detection.

Abstract
Evanescent field distribution in the focal region of the elliptical-mirror-based total-internal-reflection fluorescence (e-TIRF) microscopy is analyzed based on vectorial diffraction theory. The simulation demonstrates that the intensity of an evanescent field generated by elliptical mirror decreases exponentially with the penetration depth, and the polarization characteristic of the evanescent wave in various directions is given. We build up an e-TIRF microscope utilizing a focused hollow-cone illumination with all-direction and large range of incidence. The experiment shows the artifact effect can be well suppressed by using the azimuthal-direction illumination method. In addition, the penetration depth of the evanescent field can be controlled by adjusting the sizes of the aperture and obstruction with a large range.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and to identify prognostic factors of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) chemoembolisation for treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein (PV) tumour thrombosis (PVTT) and arterioportal shunts. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data of 145 advanced HCC patients with PVTT and arterioportal shunts were collected. The patients were divided into two groups: group A, with main PV invasion, (n=56) and group B, with PV branch invasion, (n=89). Based on arterioportal shunt types, different particle sizes of PVA were used for chemoembolisation. The overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), and postoperative complications were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS The median OS of all patients was 10.1 months. The median OS of group A and group B was 8.2 and 12.5 months, respectively (χ2=6.03, p=0.01). The overall 6-, 12-, and 18-month survival rates of groups A and B were 63.8%, 24.9%, and 6.3%, and 78.1%, 55.2%, and 23.7%, respectively. After embolisation, there were two cases of acute liver failure and three cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Cox multivariate survival analysis revealed that main PVTT (HR [hazard ratio]=1.75, p=0.01), Child-Pugh B class (HR=1.99, p=0.003) and tumour burden ≥50% (HR=3.25, p<0.001) were independent risk factors. A dose of oxaliplatin >100 mg (HR=0.48, p<0.001) was an independent protection factor. CONCLUSION Treatment of advanced HCC with PVTT and arterioportal shunts by PVA chemoembolisation is safe and effective. The patients achieved a better prognosis with the dose of oxaliplatin >100 mg, while main PVTT, Child-Pugh B class, and tumour burden ≥50% were poor prognostic indicators.

Abstract
Twin boundary defects form in virtually all crystalline materials as part of their response to applied deformation or thermal stress. For nearly six decades, graphite has been used as a textbook example of twinning with illustrations showing atomically sharp interfaces between parent and twin. Using state-of-the-art high-resolution annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy, we have captured atomic resolution images of graphitic twin boundaries and find that these interfaces are far more complex than previously supposed. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the presence of van der Waals bonding eliminates the requirement for an atomically sharp interface, resulting in long-range bending across multiple unit cells. We show these remarkable structures are common to other van der Waals materials, leading to extraordinary microstructures, Raman-active stacking faults, and sub-surface exfoliation within bulk crystals. All materials subjected to mechanical deformation form low energy interfaces known as twin boundaries. Here, the authors investigate a variety of structural features that form upon bending atomically thin 2D-crystals, and predict distinct classes of post deformation microstructure based on their atomic arrangement, bend angle and flake thickness.

Abstract
AIM Endothelial recovery, or re-endothelialization, plays an important role in intimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis after endothelial injury. Studying the mechanisms of re-endothelialization and strategies to promote efficient endothelial recovery are still needed. Interferon-induced protein 35 (IFI35) is an IFN-γ-induced protein that plays important roles in the antivirus-related immune-inflammatory response. In this study, we tested whether overexpression IFI35 affects the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells (ECs) and re-endothelialization. METHODS Wire injury of the carotid artery was induced in C57BL/6 mice, which was followed by IFI35 or null adenovirus transduction. Evans blue staining and HE staining were performed to evaluate the re-endothelialization rate and neointima formation. In vitro studies, primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were transfected with Ad-IFI35 or siRNA-IFI35 to evaluate its potential roles in cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, the potential mechanism relating inhibition of NF-κB/p65 pathway was elaborated by luciferase assay and IFI35 domain deletion assay. RESULTS In IFI35 adenovirus-transduced mice, the re-endothelialization rates at days 3, 7 were significantly reduced compared to those in null adenovirus-transduced mice (5% and 35%, vs 20% and 50%, respectively). Meanwhile, subsequent neointimal hyperplasia was obviously increased in IFI35 adenovirus-transduced mice. In vitro studies further indicated that IFI35 inhibits both EC proliferation and migration by inhibiting the NF-κB/p65 pathway. Subsequent studies demonstrated that IFI35 functionally interacted with Nmi through its NID1 domain and that knock-down of Nmi significantly mitigated the inhibitory effect of IFI35 on EC proliferation and migration. CONCLUSION Our study revealed a novel mechanism through which IFI35 affects the proliferation and migration of ECs as well as neointima formation, specifically through inhibition of the NF-κB/p65 pathway. Thus, IFI35 is a promising target for the prevention and treatment of post-injury vascular intimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
AIMS The pharmacokinetics (PK) of fluconazole and micafungin differ in neonates compared with children and adults. Dosing instructions in product labels appear to be inconsistent with the emerging scientific evidence. Limited information is available on the safety profile of these agents in neonates. Our objective was to study the population PK and safety of both drugs, randomly administered in neonates with suspected or confirmed systemic candidiasis. METHODS Neonates were randomized 1:1 to fluconazole (loading dose 25 mg kg-1 ; maintenance dose 12 mg kg-1 day-1 or 20 mg kg-1 day-1 , respectively, for infants <30 weeks or ≥30 weeks' corrected gestational age) or micafungin (loading dose 15 mg kg-1 day-1 ; maintenance dose 10 mg kg-1 day-1 ). PK samples were taken on treatment days 1 and 5. Population parameters were determined using NONMEM and Monte Carlo simulations performed to reach predefined targets. Clinical and laboratory data, and adverse events were collected up to 36 weeks' corrected gestational age or hospital discharge. RESULTS Thirty-six neonates were enrolled. The median (range) gestational age was 28.2 (24.1-40.1) and 26.8 (23.5-40.0) weeks for fluconazole and micafungin, respectively. Based on 163 PK samples, the median population clearance (l h-1 kg-1 ) and volume of distribution (l kg-1 ) for fluconazole were: 0.015 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.008, 0.039] and 0.913, and for micafungin were: 0.020 (95% CI 0.010, 0.023) and 0.354 (95% CI 0.225, 0.482), respectively. The loading dose was well tolerated. No adverse events associated with micafungin or fluconazole were reported. CONCLUSION Based on Monte Carlo simulations, a loading dose for fluconazole and dosing higher than recommended for both drugs are required to increase the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve target attainment rate in neonates.

Abstract
Lepidoptera sex pheromone biosynthesis is regulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN). PBAN regulates not only female sex pheromone biosynthesis but also male sex pheromone biosynthesis. Previous research has confirmed that PBAN regulates sex pheromone biosynthesis using Ca2+ as a secondary messenger in all examined species to date. However, the downstream signal of Ca2+ has remained elusive. In the present study, calcineurin A (CNA), a downstream signal of Ca2+ , was discovered in Helicoverpa armigera male hairpencil and named HaCNA. Sequence analysis demonstrated that the open reading frame of HaCNA contains 1488 nucleotides encoding 495 amino acid residues. A homology search revealed that HaCNA shares a high amino acid identity with the CNA of other insects. Developmental and spatial expression analyses revealed that the mRNA levels of HaCNA peaked at 24 h after emergence and that HaCNA expression was ubiquitous in all examined tissues. Activity analysis revealed that PBAN activates HaCNA, and a Ca2+ inhibitor, Lacl3 , attenuated the effect of PBAN by decreasing HaCNA activity. Pharmacological inhibitor and RNA interference-mediated knockdown assays revealed that both activity inhibition and decreased mRNA levels of HaCNA led to a significant decrease in the production of the male sex pheromone components [octadecanol and (Z)-11 hexadecanol)] and in the efficacy of female mating acceptance. Our results demonstrate that HaCNA acts as downstream signal of PBAN/Ca2+ and plays an important role in PBAN-induced male sex pheromone biosynthesis and female mating acceptance.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze clinical feature and treatment outcome of patients with primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL) in reproductive system. Methods: A total of 26 patients with DLBCL in reproductive system were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical features, laboratory data were included in Kaplan-Meier and prognostic analysis. Results: In our center, the incidence of primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma in reproductive system was 3.5% in all DLBCL patients, and the median age was 62.0 years. Male are more common with unilateral testicular involvement, and 38.5% patients belong to Ⅲ and Ⅳstage while 84.6% patients belong to non-germinal center B cell-like subgroup. The overall response rate(ORR) for the whole group was 88.5%. The complete response rate was 76.9%. The 3, 5-year progression free survival rate was 70.5% and 62.7% , and the 3, 5-year overall survival rate was 83.5% and 69.6%, respectively. The most common recurrent sites were contralateral testis and central nervous system. Rituximab can improve the survival of patients and combined with contralateral irradiation can furtherly improve progression free survival of patients(P=0.047). Clinical stage, B symptom, IPI, the level of LDH, and CRP, age>60 years, and initial treatment outcome were predictive of overall survival. Conclusion: Primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma in reproductive system is a rare type of extranodal DLBCL which occurs in older men with aggressive features. The most common sites of recurrence were contralateral testis and central nervous system. Surgery, rituximab , radiotherapy and prophylactic intrathecal injection can improve the survival of patients and may be the first-line treatment.

Abstract
Background Current standard treatment, including non-anthracycline-based chemotherapy and optimal combining of radiotherapy, has dramatically improved outcomes of patients with extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) during the last decade. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical outcome of ENKTL patients with relapsed or progressive disease after initial current standard therapy. Patients and methods We retrospectively reviewed patients diagnosed with ENKTL at six centers in four countries (China, France, Singapore, and South Korea) from 1997 to 2015 and analyzed 179 patients who had relapsed or progressed after initial current standard therapy. Results After a median follow-up of 58.6 months (range 27.9-89.2), the median second progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.1 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.04-5.16] and overall survival (OS) was 6.4 months (95% CI 4.36-8.51). Multivariate Cox-regression analysis revealed that elevated lactate dehydrogenase, multiple extranodal sites (≥2), and presence of B symptoms were associated with inferior OS (P < 0.05). OS and PFS were significantly different according to both prognostic index of natural killer lymphoma (PINK) and PINK-E (Epstein-Barr virus) models. Salvage chemotherapy with l-asparaginase (l-Asp)-based regimens showed a significantly better clinical benefit to response rate and PFS, although it did not lead to OS improvement. First use of l-Asp in the salvage setting and l-Asp rechallenge at least 6 months after initial treatment were the best candidates for salvage l-Asp containing chemotherapy. Conclusions Most patients with relapsed or refractory ENKTL had poor prognosis with short survival. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory ENKTL.

Abstract
1. The low reproductive performance of geese has seriously hampered the development of the industry. Reproductive performance, particularly the egg laying rate mainly depends on the development of the follicle. Previous studies have shown that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an important role in the process of follicular development, but the exact underlying mechanism remains unclear. 2. This study showed that FSH stimulated granulosa cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of FSH treatment on granulosa cell proliferation was greatest at a dose of 100 mIU/ml FSH for 24 h. 3. Secondly, the effect of different concentrations of FSH on goose granulosa cell proliferation was investigated, and de novo transcriptome assembly and gene expression analysis performed using short-read sequencing technology (Illumina). High-throughput sequencing results yielded 62.61 M reads and 7.8 G base pairs from granulosa cells treated with 100 mIU/ml FSH. These reads were assembled into 65,757 unigenes (mean length: 705 bp) with an N50 of 903 bp. A total of 110 upregulated and 510 downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by RNA-seq. 4. Functional analysis by gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway annotation indicated that hormone biosynthesis (GO:0042446), positive regulation of hormone secretion (GO:0046887), steroid biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation and carbon metabolism pathways were involved in FSH-mediated proliferation of goose granulosa cells. 5. After screening, a group of key responsive genes including superoxide dismutase 1, fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1, transforming growth factor-beta receptor-associated protein 1 and follistatin were tested by real-time reverse transcription PCR to confirm differential expression in granulosa cells stimulated by FSH. 6. FSH-stimulated goose granulosa cells and DEG profiling data provided comprehensive gene expression information at the transcriptional level that could promote better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying follicle development in response to FSH stimulation.

Abstract
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy performed using continuous-wave (CW) lasers has been investigated and developed by Willig et al. (Nature Methods, 2007, 4(11):915) for nearly a decade. Kuang et al. (Review of Scientific Instruments, 2010, 81:053709) developed the CW STED microscopy technique with 405 nm excitation and 532 nm depletion beams. In their research, Coumarin 102 dye was adopted and was found to be depletable. In this study, a parametric investigation of the depletion of Coumarin 102 dye is carried out experimentally. The influence of the excitation and depletion beam intensities and dye concentrations on the depletion efficiency are studied in detail. The results indicate the following: (1) The highest depletion occurs for the 100 μM Coumarin 102 solution, with a 1.4 μW excitation beam and a 115.3 mW depletion beam. (2) The minimum saturation intensity (Is) of STED, that is 13 MW cm-2 , is observed when the Coumarin 102 solution concentration is 10 μM. (3) Is values calculated directly from the depletion power derived with the cross-sectional area due to the full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of the depletion beam show poor accuracy, where Is may be overestimated. Thus, a correction factor for the cross-sectional area is proposed. We also find that Is is not exactly constant for a fixed excitation beam power and dye concentration. This trend indicates that the conventional suppression function η(x)=e- ln (2)ISTED(x)/Is derived from picosecond STED may cause errors in evaluating the depletion process in CW STED microscopy.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the relative percentage of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in elderly patients with coronary heart disease, analyse the relationship between percentage of SMM and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), predict exercise capacity and cardiac reserve. Methods: Patients aged 65 years and over after PCI, receiving cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) during February 2014 to December 2016 in Department of Cardiology at Peking University Third Hospital were enrolled.All patients' basic data, percentage of SMM and CPET related parameters, including peak oxygen uptake (VO(2)peak), oxygen pulse (VO(2)/HR), oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and other cardiorespiratory endurance indicators were collected, to do correlation analysis. Results: There were 402 patients enrolled, with average age (71±5) years, including 283 cases of male (70.40%) and 119 cases of female patients (29.60%). There were 62 patients with acute myocardial infarction (15.42%), 113 patients with old myocardial infarction (28.11%), and 227 patients diagnosed with angina pectoris (56.47%). The percentage of SMM was correlated to CRF.The percentage of SMM[97.00 (92.05, 102.10)%] and VO(2)/HR (r=0.231, P<0.001) and OUES (r=0.264, P<0.001) were positively correlated.Body mass index was negatively correlated with VO(2)peak(r=-0.162, P=0.001). Visceral fat area (VFA) was also negatively correlated with VO(2)peak(r=-0.126, P=0.016). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that Body mass index and VFA were negatively correlated with VO(2)peak (r=-0.204, P=0.014; r=-0.031, P=0.013). The percentage of SMM was positively independently correlated with OUES(r=11.020, P<0.001). Conclusions: Muscle content is positively correlated with exercise capacity of patients.The percentage of skeletal muscle mass determines the core index of cardiorespiratory fitness, such as the slope of oxygen pulse and oxygen uptake efficiency.These indexes can be used as an important criterion for predicting and guiding rehabilitation exercise in patients with coronary heart disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancer results in large part from the accumulation of multiple mutations in premalignant cells, which provide a molecular basis for genetic diversity. This genetic diversity in premalignant cells allows selection for increased proliferation and survival and ultimately leads to invasion, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Recent genome-wide sequencing data showed that APOBEC3B (A3B) contributes to mutational load in breast cancer. A3B, a DNA cytosine deaminase, is overexpressed in more than 50% of breast tumors and more than 75% of breast cancer cell lines. Its overexpression and aberrant activation lead to unexpected clusters of mutations in the majority of breast cancers. This phenomenon of clustered mutations, termed kataegis (shower in Greek) forms a unique mutation signature in breast cancer. On the basis of the finding that A3B is a key molecular determinant of the mutator phenotype in breast cancer, the goal of our research is to utilize informatics tools to systematically characterize genetic alterations of APOBEC3 family proteins in breast cancer genomic data and define the molecular impact of altered APOBEC3 family proteins on mutability and anti-tumor immunity.
Our data showed that the mutation rate and copy number amplification/deletion of APOBEC3 genes are low. The levels of APOBEC3A (A3A) and A3B are highly correlated and are highest in Basal subtype and lowest in Luminal A tumors, in concordance with the proliferation of subtypes. Additionally, A3A and A3B are significantly correlated with total mutational load as well as with TP53 mutation, and with somatic copy number alterations (SCNA), especially focal SCNA. Among APOBEC3 genes, A3B is significantly associated DNA replication, DNA damage repair, cell cycle and proteasome signatures, and shows predictive and prognostic capacity in ER-positive patients. Interestingly, A3G expression is strongly associated with immune response signature genes in all breast tumors. Consequently, A3G is highly associated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast and several other disease types.
In summary, our data demonstrate distinct expression pattern of APOBEC3 genes in different breast cancer subpopulations. Overexpression of different APOBEC3 family members leads to distinct molecular consequences. These data provide new molecular insights into pathophysiological functions of APOBEC3 genes in breast cancer and provide therapeutic opportunities for the breast cancer patients whose tumors have altered APOBEC3 expression levels and potentially are driven by APOBEC3 genes. Importantly, APOBEC3G is associated with evidence of immune activation that may signal responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the risk factors of stillbirth in third trimester. Methods: Clinical data of 649 cases of stillbirth in third trimester were analyzed retrospectively in 22 hospitals of Haidian district from October 2011 to September 2016, including the incidence, the maternal profile, the perinatal care during pregnancy and the causes of stillbirth. Results: (1) The incidence of stillbirth in third trimester in Haidian district from October 2011 to September 2016 was 0.293%(649/221 845). While the incidence in floating pregnant women (0.349%, 342/97 939) was higher than that in the residence (0.248%, 307/123 906), with statistically significant difference (χ(2)=19.178, P<0.01). The incidence of stillbirth in multiple pregnancy(0.201%, 89/4 264) was higher than that in singleton pregnancy (0.257%, 560/217 581), with statistically significant difference(χ(2)=4.690, P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of stillbirth between male (0.300%, 347/115 632) and female fetuses (0.284%, 302/106 205; χ(2)=0.467, P>0.05).(2)Among the 649 cases, the floating population accounted for the majority of those who never had prenatal visit (84.0%, 21/25), or less than 5 visits (80.7%, 125/155), or the first visit was beyond 13 gestational weeks(66.0%, 165/649). The causes of stillbirth in order were fetal factors (30.7%, 199/649), maternal factors(28.0%, 182/649), umbilical cord factors (20.0%, 130/649), unexplained factors (17.6%, 114/649) and placental factors (3.7%, 24/649). Birth defects, pregnancy hypertensive disorders, umbilical cord entanglement or torsion were the most important factors, accounting for 22.8%(148/649), 17.4%(113/649), 17.3%(112/649), respectively. Conclusions: The floating pregnant women are key population of stillbirth in third trimester. Maternal care and education should be strengthened in this population. The prevention of birth defect, better prenatal care in women with complications, and close monitor during labor are the key measures to reduce the incidence of stillbirth in third trimester.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of the new investigational drug pegylated interferon α-2b (Peg-IFN-α-2b) (Y shape, 40 kD) injection (180 µg/week) combined with ribavirin in the treatment of patients with genotype 1/6 chronic hepatitis C (CHC), with standard-dose Peg-IFN-α-2a combined with ribavirin as a positive control. Methods: A multicenter, randomized, open-label, and positive-controlled phase III clinical trial was performed. Eligible patients with genotype 1/6 CHC were screened out and randomly divided into Peg-IFN-α-2b(Y shape, 40kD) group and Peg-IFN-α-2a group at a ratio of 2:1. The patients in both groups were given oral ribavirin for 48 weeks in addition and then followed up for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Abbott Real Time HCV Genotype II was used to determine HCV genotype, and Cobas TaqMan quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure HCV RNA level at 0, 4, 12, 24, 48, and 72 weeks. Adverse events were recorded in detail. The primary efficacy endpoint was sustained virological response (SVR), and a non-inferiority test was also performed. Results: A total of 561 patients with genotype 1/6 CHC were enrolled, among whom 529 received treatment; 90.9% of these patients had genotype 1 CHC. The data of the full analysis set showed that SVR rate was 69.80% (95% CI 65.00%-74.60%) in the trial group and 74.16% (95% CI 67.73%-80.59%) in the control group (P = 0.297 0). The data of the per protocol set (PPS) showed that SVR rate was 80.63% (95% CI 76.04%-85.23%) in the trial group and 81.33% (95% CI 75.10%-87.57%) in the control group (P = 0.849 8), and the 95% CI of rate difference conformed to the non-inferiority standard. The analysis of the PPS population showed that of all subjects, 47.9% achieved rapid virologic response, with a positive predictive value of 93.8%. The incidence rate of adverse events was 96.30% in the trial group and 94.94% in the control group, and the incidence rate of serious adverse events was 5.13% in the trail group and 5.06% in the control group. Conclusion: In the regimen of Peg-IFN-α combined with ribavirin for the treatment of genotype 1/6 CHC, the new investigational drug Peg-IFN-α-2b(Y shape, 40 kD) has comparable clinical effect and safety to the control drug Peg-IFN-α-2a.

Abstract
IL-37, a newly found anti-inflammatory cytokine of the IL-1 family, has both extracellular and intracellular functions. Accumulating evidences indicate that it is also involved in tumor progression. However, the mechanism and its intracellular target are unclear. In this study, clinical data from 84 patients showed that loss or reduced expression of IL-37 in lung adenocarcinoma tissues was significantly associated with tumor metastasis. We further provided evidence that IL-37 inhibited effectively tumor metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we uncovered a novel mechanism by which IL-37 suppressed tumor cell migration via its intracellular mature form (amino acids 46-218). Intracellular mature form of IL-37, but not its extracellular form, markedly inhibited migration of multiple kinds of tumor cells through inhibiting Rac1 activation. Mechanistically, intracellular mature IL-37 directly bound to the CAAX motif in the C-terminal hypervariable region of Rac1, and then inhibited Rac1 membrane translocation and subsequent downstream signaling. Our research identifies intracellular mature IL-37 as a novel endogenous inhibitor of Rac1. Given the crucial roles of Rac1 in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, intracellular mature IL-37 might serve as a potential strategy for the control of Rac1 activity and tumor progression.

Abstract
Merging neutron stars offer an excellent laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an electromagnetic counterpart (EM170817) with gravitational waves (GW170817) detected from merging neutron stars. By synthesizing a panchromatic data set, we demonstrate that merging neutron stars are a long-sought production site forging heavy elements by r-process nucleosynthesis. The weak gamma rays seen in EM170817 are dissimilar to classical short gamma-ray bursts with ultrarelativistic jets. Instead, we suggest that breakout of a wide-angle, mildly relativistic cocoon engulfing the jet explains the low-luminosity gamma rays, the high-luminosity ultraviolet-optical-infrared, and the delayed radio and x-ray emission. We posit that all neutron star mergers may lead to a wide-angle cocoon breakout, sometimes accompanied by a successful jet and sometimes by a choked jet.

Abstract
Trisomy 8 in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) plays an important role in concurrent intestinal Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis. Here, we reported a case of intestinal BD combined with MDS involving trisomy 8. A 48-year-old woman who has had a 20-year history of recurrent oral ulcer, perineal ulcer and iris, was diagnosed as MDS with trisomy 8 four years ago. She developed high fever and acute abdominal pain. Multiple ulcerative perforations in ileum and colon were found by endoscopy, meeting the criteria for intestinal BD. The patient was successfully treated with immunomodulatory drugs.

Abstract
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms during pregnancy among women from six districts of China and to explore the determinants of anxiety and depression during pregnancy. Methods: A cross-sectional study of maternal health status was conducted using the probability proportionate to size sampling method among pregnant women from six counties/districts in six provinces of China (Hebei, Liaoning, Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan). A questionnaire was completed by each of the women included in the study from August to December 2014. Women were recruited from three medical and health institutions with the most obstetrics patients in each district. A total of 4 210 pregnant women were included in the investigation. The hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale was applied to measure the symptoms of anxiety and depression in the pregnant women. Trend chi square test was used to assess the differences of anxiety and depression symptom among three trimesters. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to investigate potential contributory factors. Results: The detection rates for anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms during pregnancy were 8.5% (357/4 210) and 12.5% (525/4 210), respectively. The prevalence of anxiety symptoms during the first, second and third trimesters were 7.9% (110/1 392), 8.8% (124/1 413) and 8.8% (123/1 405), respectively (χ2trend=0.89, P= 0.419). The prevalence of depression symptoms during the first, second and third trimesters were 14.0% (195/1 392), 12.6% (178/1 413) and 10.8% (152/1 405), respectively (χ2trend=6.52, P=0.011). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed an increased risk of anxiety and depression in women with an educational background of middle school rather than a college degree (OR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.44-2.63; OR=3.80, 95% CI: 2.45- 5.91). Furthermore, compared with planned pregnancies, women with unplanned pregnancies had a higher risk of anxiety and depression (OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.06- 1.66; OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.07- 1.71). Pregnant women who felt they lived in crowded residential conditions were at an increased risk of anxiety compared with those living in spacious residential environments (OR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.15- 2.87). Pregnant women with a household income of less than 10 000 yuan were at a higher risk of depression than living in a household with an income of ≥100 000 yuan (OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.05-3.49). Similarly, multiparous women (≥2) were at higher risk of depression compared with nulliparous women (OR=1.88, 95% CI: 1.04- 3.41). Conclusion: The prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms during pregnancy appears to be associated with several demographic factors, along with a women's obstetrical history. Lower educational background, unplanned pregnancy, the feeling of living under crowded residential conditions were all found to be risk factors for anxiety during pregnancy. Similarly, lower educational background, unplanned pregnancy, a lower household income (<10 000) and a greater number of previous deliveries were all risk factors for depression during pregnancy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze clinical feature and treatment outcome of young patients with high-risk diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Methods: A total of 122 young patients with high-risk diffuse large B cell lymphoma who were treated in Third Hospital of Peking University during the period from January 2000 to April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical features, laboratory data were included in Kaplan-Meier and prognostic analysis. Results: In our center, the incidence of young high-risk DLBCL was 27.1% in all DLBCL patients, median age was 44.0 years, 99.2% patients belong to Ⅲ and Ⅳstage, 50% patients had more than two extranodal organs involvement, and the higher proliferation index(Ki-67≥80%) was present in 63.1% of patients, Immunohistochemistry showed that 36.7% patients in 30 cases were double-expressed DLBCL. The overall response rate(ORR) for the whole group was 79.4%, the complete response rate was 39.7% , the 3, 5-year progression free survival rate was 59.8% and 57.0%, the 3, 5-year overall survival rate was 63.5% and 57.8%, respectively. 44.3% patients were refractory-relapsed DLBCL. Rituximab can improve the survival of patients and 3-year overall survival rate was 75.2% vs 46.1%(P=0.001). High-dose chemotherapy was superior to CHOP regimen which 3-year overall survival rate was 84.6% vs 54.1%(P=0.006). Compared with chemotherapy group , auto-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can improve prognosis of patients and 3-year overall survival rate was 93.4% vs 48.3%(P<0.001). The level of Ki-67, B symptom, ECOG score, the level of LDH, WBC and albumin, ESR level, anemia, rituximab therapy, initial regimens, ASCT, initial treatment outcome and refractory-relapsed were predictive of overall survival. Multivariate analysis indicated that albumin level(RR=5.462, P=0.019), initial treatment outcome(RR=34.863, P<0.001) and refractory-relapsed (RR=24.374, P<0.001)were independent prognostic risk factors. Conclusions: Young patients with high-risk DLBCL were highly aggressive in clinical and pathological features . Rituximab and high-dose regimens can improve the survival of patients.

Abstract
The characteristics of the surface inactive layer of a 1-kg-mass p-type point-contact germanium detector were studied. The thickness of the inactive layer and its uniformity on the top and lateral surfaces were measured. A charge collection efficiency function was developed according to the Monte Carlo simulation to describe the charge collection capacity along the depth within this inactive layer. In the energy range below 18keV, the surface, bulk, and total spectra of 57Co, 133Ba, 137Cs, and 60Co from simulations based on the charge collection efficiency function were well consistent with those from experiments.

Abstract
Telbivudine, an FDA pregnancy category B drug, has been found to reduce hepatitis B virus (HBV) perinatal transmission with no safety concerns in infants aged up to 1 year. This study evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of telbivudine in 214 infants born to 210 pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B infection who were treated with telbivudine during pregnancy (weeks 20-32 of gestation). The infants were followed for up to 5 years after birth. The efficacy endpoint was the rate of perinatal transmission, which was established by HBsAg and HBV DNA levels at 7 and 12 months. Safety endpoints included head circumference, weight, height, congenital abnormality and hospitalization rates. In addition, the Denver Developmental Screening Test was performed in 92 randomly selected infants. None of the 214 infants born to these women were infected with HBV, and all had effective serum hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) levels. Compared with Chinese standard values, there were few differences in the infants' mean head circumference, weight, and height values. No birth defects were diagnosed, and the congenital abnormality rate was 0.934%. Serious adverse events requiring hospitalization occurred in 20 infants (9.35%). The qualified Denver Developmental Screening Test rate in 92 infants was 97.82%, which was comparable to a rate of 92% in normal Chinese children. Thus, treatment with telbivudine during the second or third trimesters of pregnancy safely blocked perinatal transmission of HBV. Infants born to telbivudine-treated mothers showed normal growth and development during long-term follow-up of up to 5 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aberrant activation of β-catenin signaling by both WNT-dependent and WNT-independent pathways has been demonstrated in asthmatic airways, which is thought to contribute critically in remodeling of the airways. Yet, the exact role of β-catenin in asthma is very poorly defined. As we have previously reported abnormal expression of β-catenin in a toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-induced asthma model, in this study, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of two small molecules XAV-939 and ICG-001 in TDI-asthmatic male BALB/c mice, which selectively block β-catenin-mediated transcription. METHODS Male BALB/c mice were sensitized and challenged with TDI to generate a chemically induced asthma model. Inhibitors of β-catenin, XAV-939, and ICG-001 were respectively given to the mice through intraperitoneally injection. RESULTS TDI exposure led to a significantly increased activity of β-catenin, which was then confirmed by a luciferase assay in 16HBE transfected with the TOPFlash reporter plasmid. Treatment with either XAV-939 or ICG-001 effectively inhibited activation of β-catenin and downregulated mRNA expression of β-catenin-targeted genes in TDI-asthmatic mice, paralleled by dramatically attenuated TDI-induced hyperresponsiveness and inflammation of the airway, alleviated airway goblet cell metaplasia and collagen deposition, decreased Th2 inflammation, as well as lower levels of TGFβ1, VEGF, HMGB1, and IL-1β. CONCLUSION The results showed that β-catenin is a principal mediator of TDI-induced asthma, proposing β-catenin as a promising therapeutic target in asthma.

Abstract
Objective: To establish ion chromatography method to determine thiocyanate within urine of workers who were exposed to cyanide. Methods: After the workers work, used 50 ml centrifuge tube to collect the urine of workers about 20 ml.The urine were tested by centrifugation, dilution and filtration by C(18) column, thiocyanate was separated by AS(16) and mobile phase elution by KOH, detected by electrical circuitryconductivity detector, quantitative by the standard curve method. Results: The linear correlation coefficient of thiocyanate within the range of 0.1-5.0 μg/ml was more than 0.999. The method detection limit was 0.11μg/ml (in 1ml urine) , the method quantitative limit was 0.35 μg/ml. The method recoveries were 95.1%-99.7%. The within-day precision range was 0.54%-2.05%, The between-run precision range was 2.06%-5.09%. Sample stability test showed that thiocyanate samples could be stored for 5 days at room temperature and 7 days at 4 ℃, could be stored for 14 days at-20 ℃. Conclusion: The technical indicator of method compliance with rule of Guide for establishing occupation health standards-Part 5: determination methods of chemicals in biological materials (GBZ/T 210.5-2008) , the method applies to workers who were exposed to cyanide.
