Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous meta-analyses, through internal, within-study comparisons of women and men participants, have observed that women with diabetes are at substantially higher risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and gastric cancer compared with affected men. However, the magnitude of the excess risk of these and other cause-specific outcomes that is conferred by diabetes for men and women is unknown.
Purpose
To estimate the relative effect of diabetes on risk of all-cause, cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), infectious disease and respiratory disease mortality in women compared with men.
Methods
Studies published from their inception to April 1, 2018, identified through a systematic search of PubMed and EMBASE and review of references. We used the sex-specific RRs to derive the women-to-men ratio of RRs (RRR) and 95% CIs from each study. Subsequently, the RRR for each outcome was pooled with random effects meta-analysis weighted by the inverse of the variances of the log RRRs.
Results
Forty-eight studies with 85 prospective cohorts met the inclusion criteria and were eligible for analysis. The pooled women to men RRR showed a 13% greater risk of all-cause mortality associated with diabetes in women than in men (RRR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.19; P<0.001, Figure 1). The pooled multiple-adjusted RRR indicated a 30% significantly greater excess risk of CVD mortality in women with diabetes compared with men (RRR: 1.30 95% CI: 1.13 to 1.49; P<0.001). Compared with men with diabetes, women with diabetes had a 58% greater risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, but only an 8% greater risk of stroke mortality (RRRCHD: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.32 to 1.90; P<0.001; RRRstroke: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.15; P<0.001). However, no sex differences were observed among the population with or without diabetes, for all-cancer (RRR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.98 to 1.06; P=0.21), infectious (RRR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.90 to 1.38; P=0.33) and respiratory mortality RRR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.95 to 1.23; P=0.26).
Conclusions
Compared with men with the same condition, women with diabetes have a 58% and 13% greater risk of CHD and all-cause mortality, respectively. This points to an urgent need to develop sex and gender specific risk assessment strategies and therapeutic interventions that target diabetes management for CHD prevention.

Abstract
The Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR) currently includes data from 61 566 twin pair from 11 provinces or cities in China. Of these, 31 705, 15 060 and 13 531 pairs are monozygotic, same-sex dizygotic and opposite-sex dizygotic pairs, respectively, determined by opposite sex or intrapair similarity. Since its establishment in 2001, the CNTR has provided an important resource for analysing genetic and environmental influences on chronic diseases especially cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the CNTR has focused on collecting biologic specimens from disease-concordant or disease-discordant twin pairs or from twin pairs reared apart. More than 8000 pairs of these twins have been registered, and blood samples have been collected from more than 1500 pairs. In this review, we summarize the main findings from univariate and multivariate genetic effects analyses, gene-environment interaction studies, omics studies exploring DNA methylation and metabolomic markers associated with phenotypes. There remains further scope for CNTR research and data mining. The plan for future development of the CNTR is described. The CNTR welcomes worldwide collaboration.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is related to nosocomial infections, and it tends to become resistant during or after antimicrobial treatment. The ability to develop carbapenems resistance makes it difficult to treat. P. aeruginosa infections are often associated with high mortality, morbidity and treatment costs. A group of Chinese experts drafted a consensus for treatment of extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (XDR-GNB) including extensively drug-resistant P. aeruginosa (XDR-PA). In this study, we studied the antibacterial activities of different antibiotic combinations against six carbapenems-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) strains in vitro, and the results indicated that the combination of ceftazidime with cefoperazone-sulbatam was the best combination with excellent synergistic rate (100%). Besides, some combinations exhibited better effects than using antibiotics alone, reducing the MICs of both drugs significantly, such as ceftazidime/piperacillin-tazobactam and ceftazidime/aztreonam etc. However, there are also some combinations that showed no additional or synergistic effects, suggesting that not all combinations recommended by the guideline have the same effect against resistant P. aeruginosa. Our study screened out some effective combinations against six CRPA strains which might help to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance through improving antibiotic effectiveness. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study measured the synergistic interactions between various antibiotics in vitro recommended by Chinese consensus statement against carbapenems-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results of this study provide valuable evidence that some combinations may be a promising option for clinical treatment.

Abstract
1. The purpose of this study was to investigate ATP levels and the activities of important enzymes involved in glycolysis and TCA cycle in livers of embryonated chicken eggs infected by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV).2. Embryonated chicken eggs (9 days) were randomly divided into two groups (50 eggs per group). The first group was inoculated with a very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) isolate into the chorioallantoic membrane. The second group was maintained as uninfected control eggs and inoculated with physiological saline. Embryo survival was assessed daily, and six embryos were sacrificed at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hpi for examining livers. Viral loads in the livers were evaluated by qRT-PCR. A comparative analysis of markers associated with the regulation of energy metabolism across several functional classes (ATP, pyruvic and lactic acids, mitochondrial protein, NAD+/NADH ratios, and enolase, lactic acid dehydrogenase and the respiratory chain complex I activities) were examined in the context of IBDV infection.3. The results indicated that increases in the enzymatic activities associated with glycolytic metabolism in turn affected the synthesis and cytoplasmic concentrations of ATP at early timepoints in infected chicken embryos. Subsequently, energy metabolism was inhibited through the pathological perturbations of metabolic enzymes and mitochondrial damage, as inferred from reduced ATP generation.4. These results suggested impaired bioenergetics, which may lead to liver dysfunction consequent to IBDV infection, contributing to the disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The cerebellum plays an important role in motor and cognitive functions. However, whether and how the normal-appearing cerebellum is impaired in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders remain unknown. We aimed to identify the occult structural damage of the cerebellum in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and its possible causes at the level of substructures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Normal-appearing gray matter volume of the cerebellar lobules and nuclei and normal-appearing white matter volume of the cerebellar peduncles were compared between patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and healthy controls. RESULTS The cerebellar damage of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in the hemispheric lobule VI, vermis lobule VI, and all cerebellar nuclei and peduncles was related only to spinal lesions; and cerebellar damage in the hemispheric lobules VIII and X was related only to the aquaporin-4 antibody. The mixed cerebellar damage in the hemispheric lobules V and IX and vermis lobule Crus I was related mainly to spinal lesions; and mixed cerebellar damage in the hemispheric lobule VIIb was related mainly to the aquaporin-4 antibody. Other cerebellar substructures showed no significant cerebellar damage. CONCLUSIONS We have shown that the damage in cerebellar normal-appearing white matter and normal-appearing gray matter is associated with aquaporin-4-mediated primary damage or axonal degeneration secondary to spinal lesions or both. The etiologic classifications of substructure-specific occult cerebellar damage may facilitate developing neuroimaging markers for assessing the severity and the results of therapy of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder occult cerebellar damage.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the mid-term outcomes of bilateral radial artery (BRA) grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: All perioperative medical records and follow-up results of CABG with BRA grafts in multi-centers of China were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 211 patients (170 males and 41 females) underwent CABG grafting with BRA conduits between August 2013 and September 2018, with a mean age of (56.5±9.7) years old (rang 41 to 73 years). There were 161 cases of triple-vessel disease and 50 cases of two-vessel disease. Ninety patients had diabetes mellitus (DM), 35 patients with peripheral vascular disease, 4 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 11 with heart valve disease. Two patients underwent off-pump CABG and 209 patients accepted on-pump CABG with commitment valve surgery. There were 210 cases of total arterial revascularization and 161 cases using left thoracic artery conduits, with a graft number of 2-4 (2.7±0.9). No operation-related death occurred, atrial fibrillation happened in 12 patients, hemothorax in 7 cases, and forearm hematoma in one case, hypoxemia in 13 cases and pneumonia in one case. The duration of mechanical ventilation was (8.3±4.7) hours and the mean hospital length of stay was (7.1±2.9) days. Follow-up was completed in 191 patients (90.52%) with a duration of 3-59 (35.5±9.3) months. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction at 3 months after operation was significantly improved, compared to that of the pre-operation (61.0%±7.2% vs 47.1%±5.3%, P=0.017). All patients survived, except that one died from brain injury. No major cardiac events occurred, with a cumulative survival rate of 100% at 1 year and 99.53% at 3 year after operation, respectively. It was showed in coronary CT angiography (CTA) examination that all grafts in 132 patients were patent at the mean follow-up duration of (21.5±6.4) months. Conclusions: BRA grafts as arterial conduit in CABG are proved to be safe, easy for total arterial revascularization and have good mid-term clinical results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While increased levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines in chronologically aged humans have been linked to the development of ageing-associated chronic disorders (e.g., cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease), approaches that reduce circulating cytokines are not yet available. In chronologically aged mice, we recently demonstrated that epidermal dysfunction largely accounts for age-associated elevations in circulating cytokine levels, and that improving epidermal function reduced circulating cytokine levels. OBJECTIVE We performed a pilot study to determine whether improving epidermal function reduces circulating pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in aged humans. METHODS Thirty-three aged humans were topically treated twice-daily for 30 days, with ≈ 3 mL of an emollient, previously shown to improve epidermal function, while untreated, aged humans and a cohort of young volunteers served as controls. Changes in epidermal function and levels of three key, age-related, plasma cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα) were measured at baseline and after treatment, using Luminex 200™ system. RESULTS We also found significantly higher baseline levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα in aged vs. young humans (P < 0.001), as previously reported. Topical applications of the barrier repair emollient significantly enhanced epidermal permeability barrier function (P < 0.01) and stratum corneum hydration (P < 0.05). In parallel, circulating levels of IL-1β and IL-6 normalized, while TNFα levels declined substantially. CONCLUSION The results of this preliminary study suggest that a larger clinical trial should be performed to confirm whether improving epidermal function also can reduce circulating pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in aged humans, while also possibly attenuating the downstream development of chronic inflammatory disorders in the aged humans.
