Abstract
We theoretically investigate dynamical control of light slowing within the induced transparent window, e.g., in near-infrared frequencies, in electromagnetically induced transparent (EIT) metamaterials loaded by low-lossy graphene. Coupling with graphene enables distinctive optical responses of the "bright" and "dark" resonators in EIT metamaterials, rendering a switching of the transparent window and a modulation on light dispersion. Optical performance of the transparent window manifests continuous tuning as the graphene doping level changes. We show that the active modulation on optical properties of the transparent window enabled by low-lossy graphene is distinctive either by passively adjusting the interspacing between the building blocks of EIT metamaterials, or active tuning by high-lossy graphene. Furthermore, we report that the group refractive index can be in situ tuned dynamically over a broad range, e.g., ∼2 orders for near-infrared frequencies, together with absorption maintained at a level similar to that of the unloaded structure. Our study offers new possibilities towards chip-scale devices, such as active optical switching, filtering, and data storing.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Endemic to China, the distribution of Schisandra sphenanthera Rehder & E.H. Wilson includes giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca David, 1869) habitats in forests of the Minshan and Qinling Mountains, both inside and outside conservation areas. The fruit is used in indigenous medicines of the Qiang, Tibetan and Yi ethnic minorities of Sichuan. Also used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), indications for use are prescribed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. For continued access and medical use, survival of healthy populations depends on forests. Biodiversity conservation programmes implemented in forests within the panda landscapes that also benefit rural and indigenous communities, link future access to wild medicinal plants with survival of the panda and resilient rural economies. AIMS OF THE STUDY This study aimed at assessing the project activities, institutional-level outcomes and achievements, 10 years on, of the 5-year (2007-2011) UNDP- and WWF- supported EU-China Biodiversity Programme for sustainable, "panda-friendly" schisandra. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study combined analysis of quantitative data such as purchase records coupled with qualitative data obtained from field work, project documents, site-visit reports, certification documents and published articles about the project. RESULTS At start of project, interested companies were identified to support economic viability of the sustainable wild harvesting and a "panda friendly" pro-conservation model that provided an incentive to maintain habitat outside formal protected areas. Criteria of relevant sustainability standards, the Organic Wild-crop Harvesting Practice Standard and FairWild Standard, were applied while a new standard was drafted, the Giant Panda Friendly Products Standard. The initial pilot project involving 1 village determined feasibility leading to formation of the Pingwu Shuijing TCM Cooperative which, by 2016, scaled out to membership of 22 villages. From the cooperative's first commercial sale of S. sphenanthera Rehder & E.H.Wilson fruits of 0.5 MT in 2009, annual quantities steadily increased up to 30 MT sold in 2017. The cooperative achieved organic certification in 2012. In 2016, governmental authorisation for the certification of Chinese operations implementing the FairWild Standard was granted. In 2017, the Giant Panda Friendly Products Standard became an official Chinese standard with the cooperative becoming the first panda-friendly certified operation in 2018. CONCLUSIONS A decade after the project first started, there is strong evidence for the pro-conservation micro- and small enterprise model. For example, through the establishment of a TCM cooperative with members in 22 villages engaged in sustainable resource management, harvesting and equitable trade of TCM ingredients with organic and panda-friendly branding. The project benefited from multi-disciplinary collaboration of experts in ethnoecology, TCM, panda biology and habitat, nature conservation, sustainability standards and international trade. Inviting interested companies at the start enabled a transition from a funded-project to annual contracts for sustainably harvested TCM herbal drugs. At end of project (2011), the companies and NGOs remained engaged and motivating for completion of activities started during the project. Major eventual outcomes rooted in the initial project included Chinese government authorisation of the FairWild Standard (2016) and Giant Panda Friendly Products Standard (2017).

Abstract
Goat farming in Pakistan depends on indigenous breeds that have adapted to specific agro-ecological conditions. Pakistan has a rich resource of goat breeds, and the genetic diversity of these goat breeds is largely unknown. In this study, genetic diversity and population structure were characterized from seven indigenous goat breeds using the goat 50K SNP chip. The genetic diversity analysis showed that Bugi toori goats have the highest inbreeding level, consistent with the highest linkage disequilibrium, lowest diversity and long run of heterozygosity segments. This indicates that this breed should be prioritized in future conservation activities. The population structure analysis revealed four fairly distinct clusters (including Bugi toori, Bari, Black Tapri and some Kamori) and three other breeds that are seemingly the results of admixture between these or related groups (some Kamori, Pateri, Tapri and White Tapri). The selection signatures were evaluated in each breed. A total of 2508 putative selection signals were reported. The 26 significant windows were identified in more than four breeds, and selection signatures spanned several genes that directly or indirectly influence traits included coat colour variation (KIT), reproduction (BMPR1B, GNRHR, INSL6, JAK2 and EGR4), body size (SOCS2), ear size (MSRB3) and milk composition (ABCG2, SPP1, CSN1S2, CSN2, CSN3 and PROLACTIN).

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
The anomalous metallic state in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates is masked by superconductivity near a quantum critical point. Applying high magnetic fields to suppress superconductivity has enabled detailed studies of the normal state, yet the direct effect of strong magnetic fields on the metallic state is poorly understood. We report the high-field magnetoresistance of thin-film La2-x Sr x CuO4 cuprate in the vicinity of the critical doping, 0.161 ≤ p ≤ 0.190. We find that the metallic state exposed by suppressing superconductivity is characterized by magnetoresistance that is linear in magnetic fields up to 80 tesla. The magnitude of the linear-in-field resistivity mirrors the magnitude and doping evolution of the well-known linear-in-temperature resistivity that has been associated with quantum criticality in high-temperature superconductors.

Abstract
Progress in quantum computing and quantum cryptography requires efficient, electrically triggered, single-photon sources at room temperature in the telecom wavelengths. It has been long known that semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) display strong excitonic binding and emit light over a broad range of wavelengths, but their use has been hampered by a low quantum yield and a high sensitivity to spectral diffusion and blinking. In this Perspective, we discuss recent advances in the mastering of SWCNT optical properties by chemistry, electrical contacting and resonator coupling towards advancing their use as quantum light sources. We describe the latest results in terms of single-photon purity, generation efficiency and indistinguishability. Finally, we consider the main fundamental challenges stemming from the unique properties of SWCNTs and the most promising roads for SWCNT-based chip integrated quantum photonic sources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a major complication of acute ischaemic stroke that is potentially related to clinical deterioration. The objective of this study was to assess whether chronic hyperglycemia is a predictive factor of HT in patients with acute anterior stroke. METHODS Patients with acute anterior stroke were included in this study. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was measured in the morning after hospitalization. HT was detected by computed tomography scans or gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging performed 4 (±2) days after onset. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the risks for HT and short-term outcomes. RESULTS Of the 426 patients included, 93 (21.8%) had HT: 61 (14.3%) presented with hemorrhagic infarction and 32 (7.5%) presented with parenchymal hematoma. A total of 54 patients received thrombolytic treatment and 18 (33.3%) were found to have HT. In the multivariate analysis, HbA1c [odds ratio (OR), 1.294; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.097-1.528], infarction size (OR, 3.358; 95% CI, 1.748-6.449) and thrombolytic therapy (OR, 3.469; 95% CI, 1.757-6.847) were predictors of HT. The predictive effect of HbA1c on HT was still observed in both groups when patients were stratified according to the levels of fasting blood glucose. HbA1c was found to be a predictor of poor outcomes in the multilogistic regression analysis (OR, 1.482; 95% CI, 1.228-1.788). CONCLUSIONS Higher HbA1c was independently related to HT and poor neurological outcomes in patients with ischaemic stroke. These findings have significant implications for the treatment of diabetes and glucose management in patients with diabetes mellitus and/or acute ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
Automatic delineation of skin lesion contours from dermoscopy images is a basic step in the process of diagnosis and treatment of skin lesions. However, it is a challenging task due to the high variation of appearances and sizes of skin lesions. In order to deal with such challenges, we propose a new dense deconvolutional network (DDN) for skin lesion segmentation based on residual learning. Specifically, the proposed network consists of dense deconvolutional layers (DDLs), chained residual pooling (CRP), and hierarchical supervision (HS). First, unlike traditional deconvolutional layers, DDLs are adopted to maintain the dimensions of the input and output images unchanged. The DDNs are trained in an end-to-end manner without the need of prior knowledge or complicated postprocessing procedures. Second, the CRP aims to capture rich contextual background information and to fuse multilevel features. By combining the local and global contextual information via multilevel feature fusion, the high-resolution prediction output is obtained. Third, HS is added to serve as an auxiliary loss and to refine the prediction mask. Extensive experiments based on the public ISBI 2016 and 2017 skin lesion challenge datasets demonstrate the superior segmentation results of our proposed method over the state-of-the-art methods.

A large-eddy simulation, accurately capturing the spatiotemporal evolution of the flow in 3 dimensions together with the trajectories of squames, is performed for a realistic OR consisting of an operating table (OT), side tables, surgical lamps, medical staff, and a patient. Two cases are studied with blower-off and blower-on together with Lagrangian trajectories of 3 million squames initially placed on the floor surrounding the OT. The large-eddy simulation results show that with the blower-off, squames are quickly transported by the ventilation air away from the table and towards the exit grilles. In contrast, with the hot air blower turned on, the ventilation airflow above and below the OT is disrupted significantly. The rising thermal plumes from the hot air blower drag the squames above the OT and the side tables and then they are advected downwards toward the surgical site by the ventilation air from the ceiling. Temporal history of the number of squames reaching 4 imaginary boxes surrounding the side tables, the OT, and the patient's knee shows that several particles reach these boxes for the blower-on case.

Abstract
Coevolution of the human host and its associated microbiota has led to sophisticated interactions to maintain a delicate homeostasis. Emerging evidence suggests that in addition to small molecules, peptides, and proteins, small regulatory noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) might play an important role in cross-domain interactions. In this study, we revealed the presence of diverse host transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) among human salivary sRNAs. We selected 2 tsRNAs (tsRNA-000794 and tsRNA-020498) for further study based on their high sequence similarity to specific tRNAs from a group of Gram-negative oral bacteria, including Fusobacterium nucleatum, a key oral commensal and opportunistic pathogen. We showed that the presence of F. nucleatum triggers exosome-mediated release of tsRNA-000794 and tsRNA-020498 by human normal oral keratinocyte cells. Furthermore, both tsRNA candidates exerted a growth inhibition effect on F. nucleatum, likely through interference with bacterial protein biosynthesis, but did not affect the growth of Streptococcus mitis, a health-associated oral Gram-positive bacterium whose genome does not carry sequences bearing high similarity to either tsRNA. Our data provide the first line of evidence for the modulatory role of host-derived tsRNAs in the microbial-host interaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the relation between GPx2 (glutathione peroxidase 2) expressions and clinicopathological features as well as prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHODS A total of 89 cases of NPC were investigated to examine the immunohistochemical expression of GPx2. Fourteen pairs of NPC and the control samples were analyzed respectively by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The correlations of GPx2 expressions with the clinicopathologic features and the prognosis of NPC patients were also analyzed. RESULTS The expression of GPx2 in NPC tissues was elevated immunohistochemically when compared with normal nasopharyngeal tissues (P< 0.05). The mRNA expression of GPx2 in carcinoma tissues was highly elevated compared with the control tissues (P< 0.05). GPx2 protein in carcinoma tissues was also over expressed than in control tissues (P< 0.05). Also GPx2 expression was significantly higher in the late clinical stage (P= 0.02). While there was no significant association between GPx2 expression and patient age, sex, T-stage, N-stage and the metastasis. CONCLUSIONS GPx2 may play an important role in the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Furthermore, GPx2 may serve as a prognostic biomarker for NPC patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to evaluate individualised treatment and long-term outcomes of endovascular treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) complicated by inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis. METHODS Between April 2005 and December 2015, 108 consecutive patients with BCS complicated by IVC thrombosis underwent endovascular treatment. According to the type, size, extent, and degree of organisation of the thrombus, agitation thrombolysis (n = 7), agitation thrombolysis combined with retrieval stent filter (n = 5), pre-dilation (n = 32), retrieval stent filter (n = 56), or direct large balloon dilation (n = 8) was performed. Peri- and post-operative follow-up data were recorded. RESULTS The endovascular treatment was technically successful in 107 of the 108 patients (99.1%). The incidence of thrombosis related complications was 7.4% (8/108). Major and minor complications occurred in four patients. The mean follow-up duration was 61.7 ± 39.3 months (range 3-140 months). The cumulative 1, 2, 5, and 10 year primary patency rates were 91%, 88%, 79%, and 79%, respectively, and the cumulative 1, 2, 5, and 10 year secondary patency rates were 100%, 100%, 97%, and 97%, respectively. The cumulative 1, 5, and 10 year survival rates were 95%, 86%, and 81%, respectively. Serum albumin and total bilirubin values were independent predictors of survival. CONCLUSIONS For patients with BCS complicated by IVC thrombosis, an individualised endovascular treatment strategy based on the type, size, extent, and degree of organisation of the thrombus is associated with long-term patency of the IVC and favourable survival and complication rates.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Approximately 40% of ER+ breast cancer present with nodal metastasis. To date, there has been no comparison of the molecular response of primary cancers and metastases to ET. Recent evidence suggests that nodal metastases have different clones and subclones compared to the primary tumour. The aim of this study is to characterise the molecular response of primaries and nodal metastases to ET.
Methods: A unique set of 7 post-menopausal women with ER-positive breast cancer had biopsies taken from the primary tumour and a positive lymph node at diagnosis and at surgery following 3-12 months of neoadjuvant letrozole. 14-day and 3-6 month on-treatment biopsies from the primary tumour and involved nodes were also taken from the same patients, giving a total of 75 samples. Lymph node FFPE blocks were stained for cytokeratin and macro-dissected to enrich for tumour tissue. RNA and DNA were extracted and Ribo0-RNAseq, DNA exome sequencing and somatic mutation detection using UNCeqR performed. Whole-transcriptome AmpliSeq targeted-sequencing has been analysed for 4 patients.
Results: Multi-dimensional scaling and hierarchical clustering analysis based on all transcripts and the 500 most variably expressed genes revealed that primaries and nodal metastases are strongly associated at diagnosis but some nodes diverge during ET treatment. Analysis of estrogen-responsive proliferation-associated genes (n=60) in nodal metastasis revealed a reduction in expression of the majority of genes with ET. However, the expression levels of some remained high in the on-treatment node samples in all 4 patients analysed compared with the matched primary tumour on treatment. In particular, expression of genes involved in DNA replication and regulation of cell cycle including MCM6 and RRM2 (DNA replication), ASPM and CEP55 (mitosis) and CDKN3 (regulation of cell cycle) persisted at high levels in nodal metastases, but reduced in the primary cancers. Similarly, primary tumours had increased levels of ECM remodeling genes (n=60) as treatment continued, while levels in the nodal metastasis were heterogeneous on-treatment. Full genome sequencing results will be available by December 2017.
Discussion
· This is the first study to investigate genomic and transcriptomic changes with ET in both primary cancers and nodal metastases.
· On-treatment changes in nodal disease are heterogeneous between patients and within the same patient.
· Nodal metastases do respond to ET with reduced levels of proliferation-associated genes.
· Some proliferation-associated genes appear to maintain higher expression in nodal disease.
· Patterns of gene expression observed in some nodal metastases are consistent with profiles previously described by us for ET resistance and recurrent disease.
· Nodal metastases may accumulate mutations during treatment with ET and on-going analysis will clarify this.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: 70% of all breast cancers (BCs) are ER+. Not all ER+ cancers respond to endocrine therapy (ET) and many eventually develop resistance. The aim was to perform in-depth genomic analysis of both primary resistant BCs, that do not respond to ET, and cancers which progress (>40% increase in size) after an initial response as they acquire resistance (AQR) to ET.
Methods: A unique series of 48 post-menopausal women with ER+ BC received neoadjuvant ET using letrozole (L) or anastrozole (A) (mean treatment duration 17 months, range 3-67). 13/48 received up to 4 lines of ET.
12/48 responded to A or L, 16/48 had primary resistance and 20/48 had AQR.
Of 20 with AQR, 13 had 2nd line ET with A or tamoxifen (T). 6 had 3rd line ET with exemestane (E) and 1 had 4th line megestrol acetate (MA). Serial RNA & DNA from 3-5 cancer samples/patient (226 samples) had Ribo0-RNAseq, DNA exome sequencing and somatic mutation detection using UNCeqR. We have data so far on 29 patients: 5 responders, 4 with primary resistance and 20 AQR, the full cohort will be complete shortly.
Results:
ESR1 Mutations (ESRM): 1/5 responders had an ESRM (E380Q) at diagnosis. This clone disappeared with response to L. 5/20 patients with AQR (25%) had clonal expansion of an ESRM during 1st line ET (L:4, A:1). 4 had a chr6:152419926[lowbar]A:G (D538G) ESRM and 1 had a novel ESRM. Of the 5 with ESRM acquired during 1st line ET, the mutant allele fraction (MAF) increased further in the 4 who had 2nd ET (3:T, 1:E) and increased further for the 2 who had 3rd line E.
ESR1 Amplification (ESRA):
5 patients developed ESRA. 3/5 developed ESRA on 2nd or 3rd line E that was not present on AQR to 1st line L or A and 2nd line T. The other 2 developed ESRA on L. 2/5 with ESRA had concomitant CYP19A1 amplification. One patient with ESRA that developed on 3rd line E subsequently responded to MA. No patients with primary resistance to 1st line ET had an ESRM or ESRA.
PIK3CA mutations (PIK3M): 5/20 with AQR had PIK3M (25%). 3/7 had PIK3M at diagnosis and in 3 MAF increased between 1st and 2nd line ET. 2/7 developed PIK3M when resistant to 2nd line ET, 1 of the 2 had ESRA. 2 patients responsive to L had PIK3M at diagnosis and MAF decreased with therapy.
Other Mutations: Unique mutations with limited commonality developed and new clones expanded in the remaining cancers during primary and acquired resistance. Clonality analysis of AQR samples to different ETs showed proliferation of specific clones, characterised by novel sets of mutations, which typically became the dominant clone at the time of resistance to a particular agent.
Summary: 13/20 with acquired resistance had ESRM, ESRA, or PIK3M in resistant tumours: 1 had all 3, 2 ERSM + ESRA, 1 ERSA + PIK3CA, 4 ESRM only, 2 ESRA only and 3 had PIK3M only.
Conclusions:
• Endocrine resistance is complex
• ESRM or ESRA is uncommon at diagnosis and does not explain primary ET resistance
• ESRM (in particular the D538G mutation) occurs in one-third of patients with acquired resistance. 2nd line ET results in clonal selection and expansion of ESRM cells. Assessing recurrences for ESRM by in situ detection has clinical utility
• ESRA is only seen in heavily ET-pre-treated tumours, with its significance being unknown.

Abstract
Recently, multiparticle-correlation measurements of relativistic p/d/^{3}He+Au, p+Pb, and even p+p collisions show surprising collective signatures. Here, we present beam-energy-scan measurements of two-, four-, and six-particle angular correlations in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200, 62.4, 39, and 19.6 GeV. We also present measurements of two- and four-particle angular correlations in p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. We find the four-particle cumulant to be real valued for d+Au collisions at all four energies. We also find that the four-particle cumulant in p+Au has the opposite sign as that in d+Au. Further, we find that the six-particle cumulant agrees with the four-particle cumulant in d+Au collisions at 200 GeV, indicating that nonflow effects are subdominant. These observations provide strong evidence that the correlations originate from the initial geometric configuration, which is then translated into the momentum distribution for all particles, commonly referred to as collectivity.

Abstract
Tin and its compounds hold promise for the development of high-capacity anode materials that could replace graphitic carbon used in current lithium-ion batteries. However, the introduced porosity in current electrode designs to buffer the volume changes of active materials during cycling does not afford high volumetric performance. Here, we show a strategy leveraging a sulfur sacrificial agent for controlled utility of void space in a tin oxide/graphene composite anode. In a typical synthesis using the capillary drying of graphene hydrogels, sulfur is employed with hard tin oxide nanoparticles inside the contraction hydrogels. The resultant graphene-caged tin oxide delivers an ultrahigh volumetric capacity of 2123 mAh cm-3 together with good cycling stability. Our results suggest not only a conversion-type composite anode that allows for good electrochemical characteristics, but also a general synthetic means to engineering the packing density of graphene nanosheets for high energy storage capabilities in small volumes.

Abstract
During 2015, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided collisions of transversely polarized protons with Au and Al nuclei for the first time, enabling the exploration of transverse-single-spin asymmetries with heavy nuclei. Large single-spin asymmetries in very forward neutron production have been previously observed in transversely polarized p+p collisions at RHIC, and the existing theoretical framework that was successful in describing the single-spin asymmetry in p+p collisions predicts only a moderate atomic-mass-number (A) dependence. In contrast, the asymmetries observed at RHIC in p+A collisions showed a surprisingly strong A dependence in inclusive forward neutron production. The observed asymmetry in p+Al collisions is much smaller, while the asymmetry in p+Au collisions is a factor of 3 larger in absolute value and of opposite sign. The interplay of different neutron production mechanisms is discussed as a possible explanation of the observed A dependence.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate alterations in HbA1c , glycated albumin (GA) and 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) in Chinese first-degree relatives of individuals with diabetes (FDR) in pursuit of an index for early screening of glucose metabolism disturbance. METHODS A total of 467 participants (age range: 20-78 years) with normal weight and normal glucose tolerance, as determined by a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, were enrolled. HbA1c was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Serum GA and 1,5-AG levels were determined by enzymatic methods. Serum insulin levels were measured using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. RESULTS The study population included 208 FDR and 259 non-FDR. Serum 1,5-AG levels were lower in FDR than that in non-FDR (20.4 ± 7.5 vs 23.8 ± 8.3 μg/ml, P < 0.001), but HbA1c and GA levels did not differ between them (P = 0.835 and 0.469, respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed an independent relationship between a first-degree family history of diabetes and reduced serum 1,5-AG levels (odds ratio = 0.944, P < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that a first-degree family history of diabetes (β = -3.041, P < 0.001) and insulinogenic index (β = 0.081, P = 0.001) were independently associated with serum 1,5-AG levels. CONCLUSION In a Chinese population with normal glucose tolerance, serum 1,5-AG levels were lower among FDR, and serum 1,5-AG levels were independently associated with FDR status. For FDR, serum 1,5-AG levels were more sensitive than HbA1c or GA levels to early-phase abnormality in glucose metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous study suggested that mitochondrial haplogroup F (mtDNA F) was a longevity-associated biomarker, but the effect of mitochondrial haplogroup F on longevity individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) was not clear. Thus we explored the association between mtDNA F and MetS among longevity and control population in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. METHOD A total of 793 individuals consisting of 307 long-lived participants and 486 local healthy controls were involved in this study. Genotypes of mtDNA F were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequenced. MetS was defined according to the revised National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATPIII ) criteria. RESULTS The prevalence of MetS in longevity group (28.0%) was higher than that (18.5%) in control group (P=0.002). Through the case-control stratify analysis, the prevalence of MetS in mtDNA F+ longevity individuals (29.8%) was 4.6 fold higher than that (5.3%) in local control group (P<0.001). However, after further longevity-only analysis, no association between MetS and mtDNA F+ in longevity group was observed (P=0.167). Following same analysis of two variables in control group, we found that the prevalence of MetS in mtDNA F- (95.8%) was higher than that in mtDNA F+ (5.3%); conversely, the prevalence of non-metabolic syndrome (NMetS) in mtDNA F+ (94.7%) was markedly higher than that in mtDNA F- (4.2%) (P<0.001). CONCLUSION We demonstrated that mtDNA F+ , as a molecuar biomarker, might not only confer beneficial effect to resistance against MetS but also function as a positive factor for long-life span among the population in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermoscopy imaging has been a routine examination approach for skin lesion diagnosis. Accurate segmentation is the first step for automatic dermoscopy image assessment. OBJECTIVE The main challenges for skin lesion segmentation are numerous variations in viewpoint and scale of skin lesion region. METHODS To handle these challenges, we propose a novel skin lesion segmentation network via a very deep dense deconvolution network based on dermoscopic images. Specifically, the deep dense layer and generic multi-path Deep RefineNet are combined to improve the segmentation performance. The deep representation of all available layers is aggregated to form the global feature maps using skip connection. Also, the dense deconvolution layer is leveraged to capture diverse appearance features via the contextual information. Finally, we apply the dense deconvolution layer to smooth segmentation maps and obtain final high-resolution output. RESULTS Our proposed method shows the superiority over the state-of-the-art approaches based on the public available 2016 and 2017 skin lesion challenge dataset and achieves the accuracy of 96.0% and 93.9%, which obtained a 6.0% and 1.2% increase over the traditional method, respectively. CONCLUSIONS By utilizing Dense Deconvolution Net, the average time for processing one testing images with our proposed framework was 0.253 s.

Abstract
A new coded splitting imaging technique is proposed to reconstruct the complex amplitude of a light field iteratively using a single-shot measurement. In this technique, a specially designed coded splitting plate is adopted to diffract the illuminating beam into multiple beams of different orders and code their wavefronts independently and differently. From the diffraction pattern array recorded on the detector plane, both the modulus and phase distributions of the illuminating beam can be reconstructed iteratively using known transmission functions of different orders of the coded splitting plate. The feasibility of the proposed technique is verified both numerically and experimentally.
