Abstract
Objective: To identify the clinical features of mononucleosis caused by co-infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in adult patients. Methods: A total of 103 inpatients with mononucleosis in Peking University Third Hospital from May 2013 to May 2016 were collected as the study subjects.The patients were divided into three groups according to the responsible pathogens: 33 patients infected with EBV and CMV, 53 infected with EBV alone and 17 infected with CMV alone.Furthermore, a case-control study was employed to retrospectively compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis with χ(2,) t or rank tests. Results: The incidences of sore throat, pharynx congestion, tonsil enlargement, tonsil membrane, lymphadenectasis in co-infected patients were statistically lower than those in EBV-infected patients(χ(2)=19.202-25.492, all P<0.05), and were equivalent to those in CMV-infected patients(χ(2)=0.078-4.381, all P>0.05). The levels of alkaline phosphatase, glutamyl transferase, lactic dehydrogenase, white blood cell count and atypical lymphocyte in co-infected patients were statistically lower than those in EBV-infected patients(t/U=3.471-104.629, all P<0.05), and were similar to those in CMV-infected patients(t/U=0.447-24.330, all P>0.05). The levels of alanine aminotransferase and total bilirubin in co-infected patients were equivalent to those in the other two groups(U=1.695, 6.371, both P>0.05). The duration of fever in co-infected patients[(18±9) d] was between EBV alone [(15±7) d] and CMV alone [(21±7) d]infected patients. Conclusions: Co-infection of EBV and CMV is not uncommon.The clinic manifestation of co-infection is more like CMV infection. Liver injury and duration of fever shows no aggravation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the levels of serum C-C chemokine ligand 19 (CCL19) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to evaluate the correlation between CCL19 expression and clinical features and laboratory parameters, trying to reveal the possible role of CCL19 in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. METHODS The levels of serum CCL19 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 90 patients with SLE and 30 healthy controls. These SLE patients included 75 patients who received treatment with glucocorticoids and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) and 15 patients without therapy. The frequencies of peripheral blood B cells and the B cell subsets were assessed in the patients with SLE by flow cytometry. The correlation between the clinical data, laboratory parameters, B cell subset frequencies and serum CCL19 levels were analyzed. Indepen-dent samples t test, paired t test, Pearson and Spearman correlation were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS The levels of CCL19 were markedly higher in the SLE patients without therapy and the patients with therapy than in the health controls[(596.25±409.19) ng/L and (422.90±395.84) ng/L vs. (157.79±125.23) ng/L, all P<0.001]. Serum CCL19 levels in the SLE patients without therapy were higher than the SLE patients who accepted glucocorticoids and DMARD treatment (P<0.05). The levels of serum CCL19 were positively correlated with anti-double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA), anti-nucleosome antibody (AnuA), IgA, IgG and IgM (r=0.38, P=0.007; r=0.332, P=0.029; r=0.519, P=0.007; r=0.461, P=0.018, respectively). Serum CCL19 levels in the SLE patients with photosensitivity, arthritis and secondary Sjögren's syndrome were higher than the SLE patients without photosensitivity, arthritis and secondary Sjögren's syndrome, respectively [(562.25±399.12) ng/L, (565.6±435.24) ng/L and (694.9±531.02) ng/L vs. (394.7±281.42) ng/L, (385.90±325.33) ng/L and (424.8±305.46) ng/L, all P<0.05]. The levels of serum CCL19 were positively correlated with the percentage of CD27-B cells and CD27-IgD-double-negative memory B cells (r=0.519, P=0.007; r=0.461, P=0.018, respectively). However, the levels of serum CCL19 were negatively correlated with the percentage of CD27+ memory B cells and CD27+IgD- switched memory B cells (r=-0.433, P=0.027; r=-0.616, P=0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION The increased serum CCL19 levels in SLE patients were associated with the production of autoantibodies, and CCL19 might be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE by disturbing the homeostasis of B cell subsets.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the significance of extranodal extension of axillary lymph nodes (ALN-ENE) metastases in post-operative primary invasive breast carcinoma of non-specific type. Methods: Six hundred and thirty-eight invasive breast cancer cases confirmed by postoperative pathological examination were collected from January 2006 to December 2008. The relationship of lymph node metastases and ALN-ENE with other lymph node parameters and patient outcome was analyzed. Results: Among 638 cases, 263 (41.2%) showed axillary lymph node metastases. ALN-ENE was present in 91 cases (36.4%). The rate of ALN-ENE increased with pT stage and tumor size. Five-year recurrence-free survival rate (RFS) and 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was 86.6% and 91.2% respectively for ALN-ENE positive group, and both were lower than ALN-ENE negative group (P<0.01). One hundred and forty-nine patients with 1 to 3 positive lymph nodes had a 5-year RFS of 91.9%, and 5-year OS of 92.3%, less than ALN-ENE negative group (P<0.01). Univariate analysis showed ALN-ENE positively correlated with lymph node metastasis. Multivariate analysis suggested that ENE was associated with increased recurrence risk and shortened recurrence-free and overall survival, especially in patients with 1 to 3 positive lymph nodes; and it was an independent prognostic factor (P<0.01). Conclusions: The number of lymph nodes metastases is an important predictor of survival in breast cancer patients. ALN-ENE is an independent risk indicator for recurrence and overall survival. For patients with 1 to 3 metastatic axillary lymph nodes, ALN-ENE could alter the patient's clinical pathologic staging, and therefore it is an independent prognostic factor.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to have promising therapeutic benefits for a variety of neurological diseases; however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we showed that intravitreal infusion of MSCs promoted retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival in a mouse model of acute glaucoma, with significant inhibition of microglial activation, production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and reactive oxygen species, as well as caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation. In vitro, MSCs inhibited both caspase-8-mediated RGC apoptosis and microglial activation, partly via the action of stanniocalcin 1 (STC1). Furthermore, we found that microRNA-21a-5p (miR-21) and its target, PDCD4, were essential for STC1 production and the neuroprotective property of MSCs in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, miR-21 overexpression or PDCD4 knockdown augmented MSC-mediated neuroprotective effects on acute glaucoma. These data highlight a previously unrecognized neuroprotective mechanism by which the miR-21/PDCD4 axis induces MSCs to secrete STC1 and other factors that exert neuroprotective effects. Therefore, modulating the miR-21/PDCD4 axis might be a promising strategy for clinical treatment of acute glaucoma and other neurological diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the associations between depression and incident cancer risk. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases were searched to identify studies. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Risk ratios (RRs) were used to measure effect size. A random-effects model was applied to synthesize the associations between depression and cancer risk. A forest plot was produced to visually assess RRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Heterogeneity across studies was assessed using the I-squared statistic. A funnel plot was generated to assess potential publication bias, and Egger's regression was applied to test the symmetry of the funnel plot. RESULTS In total, 1,469,179 participants and 89,716 incident cases of cancer from 25 studies were included. Depression was significantly associated with overall cancer risk (RR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.09-1.22) and with liver cancer (RR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.01-1.43) and lung cancer (RR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.04-1.72). Subgroup analysis of studies in North America resulted in a significant summary relative risk (RR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.15-1.48). No significant associations were found for breast, prostate, or colorectal/colon cancer. The average Newcastle Ottawa score was 7.56 for all included studies. CONCLUSION Our findings showed a small and positive association between depression and the overall occurrence risk of cancer, as well as liver cancer and lung cancer risks. However, multinational and larger sample studies are required to further research and support these associations. Moreover, confounding factors such as cigarette smoking and alcohol use/abuse should be considered in future studies.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common and malignant carcinoma worldwide, and the incidence and mortality are increasing rapidly. Immunotherapy targeting programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) signaling has shown prominent clinical effects in treating NSCLC; however, a poor understanding of the associated regulating molecular mechanisms of PD-L1 has become one of the biggest obstacles for further improving efficacy. Bridging integrator-1 (BIN1) can regulate numerous cancer-related molecules to exert multiple tumor-suppressing effects by either interacting or not interacting with c-MYC. In the present study, we observed that there exists a negative correlation between the expression of PD-L1 and BIN1 in NSCLC tissues. The expression levels of BIN1 and PD-L1 were significantly related to the tumor, lymph node and metastasis grade (TNM) stage, invasion range and lymph node metastasis. Simultaneously, for NSCLC patients, the expression statuses of BIN1 and PD-L1 might be independent prognostic factors. Furthermore, the expression of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was positively associated with BIN1 expression and negatively related to PD-L1 expression in NSCLC tissues. Importantly, we showed that PD-L1 was under the control of BIN1. In addition, the overexpression of BIN1 could inhibit the c-MYC and epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR)-dependent PD-L1 expression and reverse the suppressive immuno-microenvironment in vivo. Taken together, our findings indicated that BIN1 restoration in NSCLC could reverse PD-L1-mediated immune escape by inactivating the c-MYC and EGFR/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways.

Abstract
Larynx is a complicated organ of significant functions including breathing, voicing, protecting and so on, so it's important for anyone involved in the filed to know more about the multiple structures of the complex. Although there are numerous 2D images of larynx, it's still difficult for the observers to understand the organ well, so it's necessary to establish a real digital modal of larynx. With the development of computer and image processing technologies, medical imaging datasets have been used for the reconstruction of larynx. And the complete of visible human project also provides colorful cross-sectional images for reconstruction. The article reviews the development of the reconstruction of larynx, and predicts the possible developing direction of future 3D reconstruction.

Abstract
Aims To present our experience of using a combination of intra-articular osteotomy and external fixation to treat different deformities of the knee. Patients and Methods A total of six patients with a mean age of 26.5 years (15 to 50) with an abnormal hemi-joint line convergence angle (HJLCA) and mechanical axis deviation (MAD) were included. Elevation of a tibial hemiplateau or femoral condylar advancement was performed and limb lengthening with correction of residual deformity using a circular or monolateral Ilizarov frame. Results At a mean follow-up of 2.8 years (1.5 to 4.1), the mean HJLCA improved from 15.6° (10° to 23°) pre-operatively to 0.4° (0° to 2°). The mean MAD improved from 70.0 mm (20.1 to 118.5) pre-operatively to 9.1 mm (3 to 15). The mean tibiofemoral angle improved from 31.0° (8° to 54°) pre-operatively to 4.9° (2° to 8°). The mean limb-length discrepancy decreased from 6.3 cm (2.9 to 13.6) pre-operatively to 1.1 cm (0 to 5). All osteotomies and distraction zones healed without complications. Conclusion The use of intra-articular corrective osteotomies combined with the Ilizarov technique allowed correction of deformities of the knee joint with satisfactory HJLCA and overall mechanical axis in six patients with a good functional and cosmetic outcome in the short term.

Abstract
Episcleritis and scleritis are relatively rare ocular diseases, which are commonly associated with rheumatic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To investigate clinical and laboratory features of SLE-associated episcleritis and scleritis, we now report 4 cases of inpatients who were diagnosed with episcleritis or scleritis secondary to SLE from September 2005 to July 2016 in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology in Peking University People's Hospital. Demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics were summarized together with the treatment regimen and the prognosis; the literature was reviewed. There were 3 female and 1 male patients. The average age was (49.0±23.8) years and the mean duration of SLE at the onset of episcleritis or scleritis was (2.1±1.4) years. In addition to the eye involvement, the patients had mucocutaneous manifestations, serositis, lupus nephritis and interstitial pneumonia simultaneously; in the past, 1 patient experienced arthritis, 2 presented Raynaud's phenomenon, and 2 had hematologic involvement. All the patients had antinuclear antibody (ANA) of high titer. The anti double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA) antibody titers were increased in 2 patients. Three patients had positive anti-nucleosome antibody (ANuA) while the other 1 patient did not test it. The complement levels were decreased in 3 patients. The systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) scores were more than 4 points in all the patients (ranging from 7-16), suggesting active disease. Ocular symptoms included pain, redness of the eye and tears. Ophthalmic examinations revealed 3 cases of episcleritis and 1 case of scleritis. Among the 4 patients, 2 patients experienced ocular complications including decrease in vision and uveitis. All the patients were treated with systemic corticosteroids combined with hydroxycloroquine; 3 patients were treated with immunosuppressants (cyclophosphamide in 2 patients and leflunomide in 1 patient). All of the 4 patients received topical steroid and 1 patient received periocular injection of triamcinolone acetonide; 1 patient received topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).No recurrence of episcleritis or scleritis was observed during the follow-ups. As a conclusion, scleritis and episcleritis, although uncommon, may occur in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases including SLE. The occurrence of episcleritis and scleritis may suggest active disease of SLE. Ocular complications need to be aware of in the patients. Prompt diagnosis and treatment was associated with good visual outcomes in the follow-ups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Signaling through histamine receptors on dendritic cells (DCs) may be involved in the effector phase of peanut-induced intestinal anaphylaxis. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the role of histamine H1 (H1R) and H4 receptors (H4R) in intestinal allergic responses in a model of peanut allergy. METHODS Balb/c mice were sensitized and challenged with peanut. During the challenge phase, mice were treated orally with the H1R antagonist, loratadine, and/or the H4R antagonist, JNJ7777120. Bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) were adoptively transferred to nonsensitized WT mice. Symptoms, intestinal inflammation, and mesenteric lymph node and intestine mucosal DCs were assessed. Effects of the drugs on DC chemotaxis, calcium mobilization, and antigen-presenting cell function were measured. RESULTS Treatment with loratadine or JNJ7777120 individually partially suppressed the development of diarrhea and intestinal inflammation and decreased the numbers of DCs in the mesenteric lymph nodes and lamina propria. Combined treatment with both drugs prevented the development of diarrhea and intestinal inflammation. In vitro, the combination suppressed DC antigen-presenting cell function to T helper cells and DC calcium mobilization and chemotaxis to histamine. CONCLUSION Blockade of both H1R and H4R in the challenge phase had additive effects in preventing the intestinal consequences of peanut sensitization and challenge. These effects were mediated through the limitation of mesenteric lymph node and intestinal DC accumulation and function. Identification of this histamine H1R/H4R-DC-CD4+ T-cell axis provides new insights into the development of peanut-induced intestinal allergic responses and for prevention and treatment of peanut allergy.

Abstract
Two-dimensional heterostructures with strong spin-orbit coupling have direct relevance to topological quantum materials and potential applications in spin-orbitronics. In this work, we report on novel quantum phenomena in [Pb2BiS3][AuTe2], a new 2D strong spin-orbit coupling heterostructure system. Transport measurements reveal the spin-related carrier scattering is at odds with the Abrikosov-Gorkov model due to strong spin-orbit coupling. This is consistent with our band structure calculations which reveal a large spin-orbit coupling gap of εso = 0.21 eV. The band structure is also characterized by helical-like spin textures which are mainly induced by strong spin-orbit coupling and the inversion symmetry breaking in the heterostructure system.

Abstract
Laryngeal carcinoma is a common malignant tumor in the head and neck, and the squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is the most prevelance. In view of the importance of laryngeal function and its survival, the choice of the best therapeutic regimen of laryngeal carcinoma must consider the potential survival rate and the change of postoperative function. The margin of laryngeal carcinoma is an important index of preoperative imaging evaluation of laryngeal carcinoma. The accurate determination of the cutting edge determines the operation mode, the success rate, the survival rate and prognosis of the patients with laryngeal carcinoma.In recent years, the method of preoperative evaluation of laryngeal tumors is diverse, including molecular, imaging and endoscopy, among which preoperative imaging is the most common method. The purpose of this study was to summarize the evaluation of different imaging techniques in the assessment of local invasion and recurrence of submucosal tumors in laryngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of peripheral blood monocytes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who underwent esophagectomy. Records from 218 consecutive patients with histologically diagnosed ESCC who underwent esophagectomy at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2007 to December 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. The median disease-free survival (DFS) of this cohort was 29.0 months, and the 5-year DFS rate was 34.4%. The median overall survival (OS) was 35.0 months, and the 5-year OS rate was 37.6%. The cut-off value of 0.42 × 109 /L for the absolute monocyte count (AMC) was chosen as optimal to discriminate between survival and death by applying receiver operating curve analysis. There were 131 patients (60.1%) who had high AMC (≥0.42 × 109 /L) preoperatively. We found that AMC was significantly associated with gender, tumor location, and platelet count. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of patients with high preoperative AMC had a significant worse prognosis for DFS (high vs. low: 27.5% vs. 39.0%, P = 0.015) and OS (high vs. low: 31.1% vs. 44.8%, P = 0.009) than those with low preoperative AMC. In a multivariate analysis, preoperative AMC was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (P = 0.025, hazard ratio [HR]: 1.469, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.050-2.054) and OS (P = 0.015, HR: 1.547, 95% CI: 1.088-2.200). In addition, among 140 patients without both preoperative and postoperative therapy, significantly worse OS (P = 0.012) and marginally reduced DFS (P = 0.079) were found in the high AMC cohort versus the low AMC cohort. A higher preoperative absolute peripheral monocyte count can be considered as a useful prognostic marker of ESCC patients who underwent esophagectomy.
