Abstract
The aim of this retrospective study was to verify the three-dimensional morphological change in neocondyle bone growth after fibula free flap (FFF) reconstruction. The independent variables were age, sex, and diagnosis. Outcome variables included the direction and volume of neocondyle bone growth, and the time to a stable neocondyle following bone growth. The outcome variables were measured on postoperative computed tomography scans using iPlan 3.0. Of the 35 patients included, 25 showed neocondyle bone growth. The direction of neocondyle bone growth included the direction of lateral pterygoid traction (DLPT) and the direction towards the glenoid fossa (DGF). The bone growth of the neocondyle showed three patterns: only DLPT (eight patients), only DGF (two patients), and a combination of DLPT and DGF (15 patients). The average volume of bone growth in the 25 patients was 0.479 ± 0.380 cm3. The average volume of neocondyle bone growth was significantly greater in patients aged <18 years (0.746 ± 0.346 cm3) than in patients aged >18 years (0.219 ± 0.191 cm3) (P < 0.001). The time to a stable neocondyle following bone growth was 5.6 months postoperatively. In conclusion, neocondyle bone growth after FFF reconstruction occurred in two different directions, DLPT and DGF. Osteogenesis of the lateral pterygoid muscle affects neocondyle growth with DLPT. Neocondyle bone growth is more marked in paediatric patients than in adults.

Abstract
Nonmonotonic variation with collision energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) of the moments of the net-baryon number distribution in heavy-ion collisions, related to the correlation length and the susceptibilities of the system, is suggested as a signature for the quantum chromodynamics critical point. We report the first evidence of a nonmonotonic variation in the kurtosis times variance of the net-proton number (proxy for net-baryon number) distribution as a function of sqrt[s_{NN}] with 3.1 σ significance for head-on (central) gold-on-gold (Au+Au) collisions measured solenoidal tracker at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Data in noncentral Au+Au collisions and models of heavy-ion collisions without a critical point show a monotonic variation as a function of sqrt[s_{NN}].

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Opioid drugs are used to treat pain in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but their side effects can cause serious morbidity. Therefore, we tested a novel opioid analgesic, ±)-N-(3-fluoro-1-phenethylpiperidine-4-yl)-N-phenylpropionamide (NFEPP) which selectively activates peripheral µ-opioid receptors at acidic pH, as occurs in inflamed tissue.
Aims
Evaluate whether NFEPP causes analgesia in the inflamed colon of DSS-colitis mice using both in vitro and in vivo techniques.
Methods
To measure the visceral motor reflex (VMR) in response to colorectal distention, EMG electrodes connected to a telemetric transmitter were implanted in mice (c57BL/6), after 10 days recovery acute dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis was induced (5 days 2.5% DSS, 2 days water). VMR was measured 30 min after s.c. injection of vehicle or 0.2 mg/kg of NFEPP or fentanyl. Motility was assessed by fecal pellet count 1 hour after NFEPP. Colonic tissue pH was evaluated using the SNARF-4F-5 carboxylic acid probe. Excitability of mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons was measured by recording the rheobase (minimum input current to fire an action potential) after superfusion of NFEPP (300 nM, 10 min) or vehicle at pH 6.5 or 7.4. Colonic afferent nerve responses to probing with a von Frey filament (1 gm) were examined before and after exposure to NFEPP (300 nM, 5 min superfusion) at pH 6.5 and 7.4 respectively. The data was analyzed with Welch’s t-test, 1- or 2-way ANOVA with post hoc Dunnett or Bonferroni or Tukey’s test.
Results
NFEPP significantly inhibited the VMR in response to distension in mice with colitis compared to vehicle (decreased response by 65%, P<0.001). NFEPP had no effect in control mice. Conversely, fentanyl caused a similar decreased response in both groups (DSS 79% and control 67%, P<0.001). Pelleting was not affected by NFEPP injection in either group compared to vehicle. The pH measurement revealed a more acidic environment in DSS colonic tissue (ΔpH0.37±0.14, P<0.05) compared to controls. In patch-clamp studies, NFEPP decreased DRG excitability at pH 6.5 compared to the baseline and vehicle (increased rheobase 53.84%, P<0.01 and 36.36%, P<0.05 respectively) but had no effect at pH 7.4. In colonic afferent nerve recordings, NFEPP significantly attenuated afferent responses (28.9% P<0.01) to probing at pH 6.5 but also had no effect at pH 7.4.
Conclusions
This pH-selective opioid agonist significantly inhibits pain at the site of inflammation where the tissue pH is acidic but has no effect in tissues where the pH is in the physiological range. Thus, NFEPP could be an effective opioid analgesic in IBD while being devoid of any unwanted side effects.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Abdominal pain can be triggered by food ingestion in IBS patients. Previously we have shown that a food antigen induces local release of immune mediators in the colon that increase dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron excitability when there is previous antigen exposure in the presence of psychological stress. However, it is unknown if this effect is limited to the colon. Furthermore, the involvement of histamine in the neuronal hyperexcitability suggests that the stress-food antigen interaction evokes a Th2 immune response. Thus, we sought to investigate the role of STAT6, a transcription factor downstream of Th2 cytokines and important for IgE production.
Aims
1) Determine if stress-food antigen interaction leads to release of mediators within the small intestine that increase DRG neuron excitability. 2) Determine the involvement of STAT6 on neuronal hyperexcitability induced by the stress-food antigen interaction.
Methods
BALB/c mice were exposed to water avoidance stress (WAS) or sham stress (SHAM) for 1 hr daily for 10 days. On day 2–10, mice were exposed to ovalbumin (OVA) or saline (SAL). Seven days later, mice were re-exposed to either OVA or SAL every 2 days for 2 weeks yielding 3 groups: WAS/OVA+OVA, WAS/SAL+OVA, and SHAM/OVA+OVA. STAT6 deficient mice were also exposed to WAS/OVA+OVA protocol. Ileum or colonic supernatants were obtained 4 hours after tissue collection. DRG neurons were incubated overnight with supernatants prior to perforated patch clamp recordings. Neuronal excitability was evaluated by measuring the rheobase (minimum current to elicit an action potential, decreased rheobase indicates increased excitability). Mechanosensitivity of extrinsic afferent nerves innervating distal ileum was examined using ex vivo extracellular afferent nerve recordings. Data was analyzed by one or two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test.
Results
Ileum supernatants from WAS/OVA+OVA mice increased DRG neuron excitability compared to WAS/SAL+OVA and SHAM/OVA+OVA mice (63.3 ± 6.2 pA vs 83.2 ± 5.4 pA, 86.7 ± 4.5 pA, p<0.05). Ileum afferent nerve response to distention was significantly augmented in WAS/OVA+OVA mice compared to WAS/SAL+OVA and SHAM/OVA+OVA (P<0.05, n=4–7). DRG neurons incubated with WAS/OVA+OVA supernatant from STAT6 deficient mice were less excitable compared to neurons incubated with colonic supernatants from wild type mice (86.5 ± 4.1 pA vs 67.6 ± 4.8 pA, p<0.05).
Conclusions
Stress-food antigen interaction releases mediators in both the small intestine and colon to increase nociceptive signaling, an important finding as IBS can involve both areas. The release of excitatory mediators within the gut appears to involve STAT6. Thus, a stress-food antigen interaction evoking a Th2 immune response in the gut may be a mechanism underlying food induced symptoms in IBS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has elevated mortality in severe and critical patients globally. This study examined the effect of glucocorticoids (GCS) on the time of virus clearance and absorption of lung lesions in severe and critical COVID-19 patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Severe and critical COVID-19 cases diagnosed in Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital from January 7 to February 10, 2020 were analyzed. The generalized linear model was utilized to assess the effects of GCS therapy on the times of nucleic acid test turning negative and improved pulmonary imaging, respectively. RESULTS Of 66 patients, 51 (77.3%) and 15 (22.7%) were severe and critical cases, respectively, and aged 62 ± 11 years. A total of 58 patients (87.9%) tested negative, and 56 (84.8%) showed improved lung imaging. Age, thrombocytopenia, CD8 + T cell count, course of GCS therapy, and total dose were correlated with the time of nucleic acid test turning negative (p < 0.05), and sex was correlated with the time of initial pulmonary imaging improvement (p < 0.05). The time of nucleic acid test turning negative in individuals with GCS therapy course ≤ 10 days was shorter than that of the GCS therapy course > 10 days group (p=0.001). No statistical difference was found in the dose, course of GCS, and initial time of improved lung imaging. CONCLUSIONS Increasing the dose of GCS and prolonging the course of treatment do not shorten the time of nucleic acid test turning negative or improved absorption of pulmonary lesions. Thus, the rational use of GCS is particularly important.

Abstract
The free-energy lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is one of the major multiphase models in the LB community. The present study is focused on a class of free-energy LB models in which the divergence of thermodynamic pressure tensor or its equivalent form expressed by the chemical potential is incorporated into the LB equation via a forcing term. Although this class of free-energy LB models may be thermodynamically consistent at the continuum level, it suffers from thermodynamic inconsistency at the discrete lattice level owing to numerical errors [Guo et al., Phys. Rev. E 83, 036707 (2010)10.1103/PhysRevE.83.036707]. The numerical error term mainly includes two parts: one comes from the discrete gradient operator and the other can be identified in a high-order Chapman-Enskog analysis. In this paper, we propose an improved scheme to eliminate the thermodynamic inconsistency of the aforementioned class of free-energy LB models. The improved scheme is constructed by modifying the equation of state of the standard LB equation, through which the discretization of ∇(ρc_{s}^{2}) is no longer involved in the force calculation and then the numerical errors can be significantly reduced. Numerical simulations are subsequently performed to validate the proposed scheme. The numerical results show that the improved scheme is capable of eliminating the thermodynamic inconsistency and can significantly reduce the spurious currents in comparison with the standard forcing-based free-energy LB model.

Abstract
Devices that electrically modulate the deep brain have enabled important breakthroughs in the management of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Such devices are typically centimeter-scale, requiring surgical implantation and wired-in powering, which increases the risk of hemorrhage, infection, and damage during daily activity. Using smaller, remotely powered materials could lead to less invasive neuromodulation. Here, we present injectable, magnetoelectric nanoelectrodes that wirelessly transmit electrical signals to the brain in response to an external magnetic field. This mechanism of modulation requires no genetic modification of neural tissue, allows animals to freely move during stimulation, and uses nonresonant carrier frequencies. Using these nanoelectrodes, we demonstrate neuronal modulation in vitro and in deep brain targets in vivo. We also show that local subthalamic modulation promotes modulation in other regions connected via basal ganglia circuitry, leading to behavioral changes in mice. Magnetoelectric materials present a versatile platform technology for less invasive, deep brain neuromodulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the expression of LINC01093, a long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, and cells and its regulatory role in NSCLC cell proliferation and invasion. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of LINC01093 in NSCLC tissues and cells was detected via quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) experiment. The specific sequences interfering in LINC01093 were designed and transiently transfected into A549 and SPCA-1 cells using LipofectamineTM 2000, and 48 later, the transfection efficiency was detected. Moreover, the impacts of small interfering (si)-LINC01093 on NSCLC cell proliferation were observed via methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and colony forming assays, the influence of LINC01093 on the cycle distribution of NSCLC cells was determined through flow cytometry, and the changes in the invasion and migration abilities of NSCLC cells were evaluated via transwell assay after interfering in the expression of LINC01093. Finally, the expression changes of the molecular markers in the protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in the downstream of LINC01093 were detected via Western blotting. RESULTS According to the results of qRT-PCR, the relative expression level of LINC01093 was up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. After interfering in the expression of LINC01093, the results of MTT and colony forming assays revealed that the proliferation ability of NSCLC cells was weakened, according to the findings in the flow cytometry, the cells were arrested in G1/0 phase, the transwell assay results manifested that the cell migration and invasion abilities were weakened, and the results of the Western blotting suggested the changes in the expressions of molecular markers in the Akt signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS The expression of LINC01093 is upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells, and it facilitates the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of NSCLC cells via the Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) small nucleolar host gene 20 (SNHG20) on the proliferation and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS The human NSCLC cells were cultured and lncRNA SNHG20 was inhibited using si-SNHG20 and overexpressed using SNHG20-OE. Then, flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rate. The targets of lncRNA SNHG20 were detected via dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, and the changes in the protein level were detected via Western blotting. RESULTS LncRNA SNHG20 was highly expressed in the cancer tissues and serum of patients with NSCLC. LncRNA SNHG20 could promote the proliferation and inhibit the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. LncRNA SNHG20 could bind to micro RNA (miR)-197 in a targeted manner. Besides, nuclear translocation of β-catenin was significantly enhanced after transfection of miR-197. After the down-regulation of miR-197 by small interfering RNA (siRNA), the key molecules TCF and LEF1 of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway were significantly down-regulated. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA SNHG20 promotes the proliferation and inhibits the apoptosis of NSCLC cells by targeting miR-197 through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE Both high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and body mass index (BMI) have an impact on the prevalence of stroke. However, it is unclear whether BMI can modify the relationship between HDL-C and stroke. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effect of the BMI on the association between HDL-C and stroke in a hypertensive population without atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS We analyzed data of 10,925 hypertensive patients without AF from the Chinese Hypertension Registry Study. BMI was categorized as < 24 and ≥ 24 kg/m2. Multivariate logistic regression and smooth curve fitting (penalized spline method) were used to analyze the association between HDL-C and stroke in different BMI groups. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests were used to explore the effect of other variables on this relationship. RESULTS The results showed a negative association between HDL-C and stroke in the BMI < 24 kg/m2 group, but HDL-C was not associated with stroke in the BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 group. In the BMI < 24 kg/m2 group, each 1 mmol/L increase in HDL-C was associated with a 50% decreased risk of stroke [odds ratio (OR) 0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.38-0.66]. No significant relationship between HDL-C and stroke was observed in the BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2 group (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.49-1.10). There was a significant interaction between BMI and HDL-C in regard to the prevalence of stroke in the hypertensive population without AF (PInteraction = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS We found an inverse association between HDL-C and stroke only in the BMI < 24 kg/m2 group. The finding suggested that BMI could modify the association between HDL-C and stroke in hypertensive populations without AF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES During the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, malnutrition may contribute to COVID-19 adverse outcomes. We conducted a clinical epidemiological analysis to investigate the association of malnutrition with hospitalized duration in patients with COVID-19. DESIGN Retrospective survey study. SETTING Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) hospital in Wuhan, China. PARTICIPANTS 139 patients with COVID-19. METHODS In total, 139 patients with COVID-19 from patients in the Infection Department of Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) hospital from February 2020 to April 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. We used the "Global leadership Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM)" assessment standard published in 2019 to assess nutritional status. Prolonged hospitalization was lasting more than the median value of the hospitalized days (17 days) in this population. RESULTS According to the assessment results of GLIM nutrition assessment, the patients were divided into malnutrition group and normal nutrition group. Compared with the patients in the normal nutrition group, the hospitalization time was longer(15.67±6.26 days versus 27.48±5.04 days, P = 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed patients with malnutrition were more likely to be hospitalized longer compared with those normal nutrition (mean with 95% confidence interval [CI]: 28.91[27.52-30.30] versus 22.78[21.76-23.79], P = 0.001). COX regression analysis showed that malnutrition (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.773, P for trend = 0.001) was proportional associated with being discharged from hospital delayed. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Present findings suggested that malnutrition contributed to predicting a probability of prolonged hospitalization in patients with COVID-19 infection, to whom extra attentions and precautions should be paid during clinical treatments. Based on the existing results, it is recommended that inpatients with nutritional risk or malnutrition start nutritional support treatment as soon as possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the epidemic situation and epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Lishui City from 2013 to 2018, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the malaria control strategy. METHODS The data pertaining malaria cases in Lishui City from 2013 to 2018 were captured from National Notifiable Communicable Disease Reporting System and the Information System for Parasitic Diseases Control and Prevention, and the epidemiological features of malaria cases were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 119 malaria cases were reported in Lishui City from 2013 to 2018, including 101 cases with falciparum malaria (84.87%), 6 cases with vivax malaria (5.04%), 8 cases with ovale malaria (6.72%), and 4 cases with mixed infection (3.36%). Among the 119 cases, there were one local case with blood transfusion-induced malaria and 118 cases with over- seas imported malaria. There were 98.32% of the imported malaria cases acquiring infection in African countries, and most cases were reported in Qingtian County (60.50%) and Liandu District (22.69%). In addition, 86.55% of the malaria cases were detected in individuals at ages of 20 to 50 years, and most cases were found in oversea workers (52.94%) and businessmen (38.65%). CONCLUSIONS Most of the malaria cases in Lishui City are imported from Africa, and the monitoring and health education pertaining to malaria control knowledge requires to be intensified among high-risk populations.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is known for its high incidence, death rate, and relatively low 5-year survival. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play a significant role in cancerization and cancer progression. However, research on the association of polymorphisms in these lncRNAs with the prognosis of OSCC is lacking. Fifteen functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven lncRNAs were selected to explore the relationship between these lncRNA SNPs and the prognosis among 209 OSCC patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to examine the associations. Further functional exploration of significant SNPs was done by eQTL analysis. Using multivariate Cox hazards regression analysis, a predictive role of NEAT1 rs3741384 GG and UCA1 rs7255437 TC+TT in a worse prognosis of OSCC was identified. In addition, a marked increased risk of death was observed with an increasing number of unfavourable genotypes (NUG). The NUG was then incorporated with clinical variables in the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the results indicated a potential role of the NUG in predicting OSCC patient risk of death (area under the curve increase from 0.616 to 0.703). In conclusion, the study findings indicate that genetic variants rs3741384 in NEAT and rs7255437 in UCA1 may influence the survival of OSCC patients.

Abstract
Crossbreeding is an essential way of improving herd performance. However, frequent parentage record errors appear, which results in the lower accuracy of genetic parameter estimation and genetic evaluation. This study aims to build a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel with sufficient power for parentage testing in the crossbred population of Simmental and Holstein cattle. The direct sequencing technique in PCR products of pooling DNA along with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS method for genotyping the individuals was applied. A panel comprising 50 highly informative SNPs for parentage analysis was developed in the crossbred population. The average minor allele frequency for SNPs was 0.43, and the cumulative probability of exclusion for single-parent and both-parent inference met 0.99797 and 0.999999, respectively. The maker-set for parentage verification was then used in a group of 81 trios with aid of the likelihood-based parentage-assignment program of Cervus software. Reconfirmation with on-farm records showed that this 50-SNP system could provide sufficient and reliable information for parentage testing with the parental errors for mother-offspring and sire-offspring being 8.6 and 18.5%, respectively. In conclusion, a set of low-cost and efficient SNPs for the paternity testing in the Simmental and Holstein crossbred population are provided.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the bioequivalence of China-manufactured biosimilar, HLX02, to reference China (CN)- and European Union (EU)-sourced trastuzumab. METHODS This was a two-part Phase 1 study conducted in healthy Chinese males. Part 1 evaluated the safety of different doses of HLX02 (2, 4, 6 or 8 mg/kg; intravenous infusion over 90 min, n = 3 per group). Part 2, a randomized, double-blind study, investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and immunogenicity of study drugs (HLX02 [n = 37], CN-trastuzumab [n = 35] or EU-trastuzumab [n = 37] at the dose suggested by Part 1 results). The primary PK endpoint was the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf). Equivalence was concluded if the 90% confidence interval (CI) for the geometric least squares mean ratio (GLSMR) fell in the equivalence criteria of 0.80-1.25. RESULTS In Part 1, all doses of HLX02 were well tolerated and 6 mg/kg was suggested for Part 2. The GLSMRs and 90% CIs for AUCinf were: 0.950 (0.891-1.013), 0.914 (0.858-0.973) and 0.962 (0.902-1.025) for HLX02 versus CN-trastuzumab, HLX02 versus EU-trastuzumab and CN-trastuzumab versus EU-trastuzumab, respectively. Secondary endpoints comparisons also fell in the equivalence criteria. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 75.7, 86.5 and 70.3% of the subjects in HLX02, CN-trastuzumab, and EU-trastuzumab groups, respectively. No serious adverse events or deaths occurred. No treatment-related anti-drug antibodies were detected. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated comparable safety profiles and PK bioequivalence among HLX02, CN-trastuzumab and EU-trastuzumab in healthy Chinese male subjects.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to explore the feasibility and perioperative safety of performing catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in a single (one-stop) session in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: This study is an observational study. Consecutive AF patients who underwent the combined procedure of catheter ablation and LAAC with Watchman device of Xinhua Hospital in Shanghai between March 2017 and May 2019 were prospectively enrolled. Baseline, intra-and peri-procedural parameters were evaluated. Results: A total of 358 AF patients (189 males, (69.0±8.0) years) underwent the one-stop procedure. The CHA2DS2-VASc score was 3.2±1.5 and HAS-BLED score was 2.4±1.1, respectively in this patient cohort. Pulmonary vein isolation was achieved in all patients, while additional linear ablation was applied in 180 (50.3%) patients, yielding immediate success rate of 99.7%. Successful Watchman implantation was achieved in all patients. The perioperative serious adverse event occurred in 14 cases (3.9%). including 6 pericardial effusions (1.7%), 1 stroke (0.3%) and 5 vascular complications (1.4%), yielding procedure-related complication rate of 3.4%. In addition, 2 (0.6%) new-onset heart failures occurred postoperatively. There was no major bleeding or death during the perioperative period. Conclusions: Combined catheter ablation and LAAC can be successfully and safely performed in AF patients with high stroke risk. Follow-up data are needed to evaluate the outcome of this one-stop procedure.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the utility and safety of leadless intracardiac transcatheter pacing system. Methods: The study was a prospective observational study. Patients underwent Micra transcatheter pacing system in Beijing Anzhen hospital from December 2019 to January 2020 were enrolled. The baseline characteristics, platelet count, hemoglobin, anticoagulation and/or antiplatelet therapy, mean procedural time, average fluoroscopy time, number of deployment and electrical parameters (threshold, R-wave amplitude, impedance) were recorded. Ultrasonography of bilateral femoral and iliac veins was performed in all patients. Patients were followed including access site complication, adverse event and device evaluation at implant, hospital discharge, 1 and 3 months post-implant. R-wave≥5 mV, impedance between 400 and 1 500 Ω and threshold increase≤1.5 V than implant is considered a stable parameter. Femoral access site complications included hematoma, hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm, and arteriovenous fistula. Adverse events included dislodgement, cardiac effusion/perforation and infection. Left ventricular end diastolic diameter and ejection fraction before and at 1 month after implant were reported. Results: Five patients were enrolled and pacemaker implantation was successful in all 5 patients. Patients were all males and the average age was (78.4±8.4) years. 2 patients received aspirin and clopidogrel therapy, 1 patient suffered from anemia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 1 patient. No stenosis, occlusion and vascular malformation of bilateral femoral and iliac veins was observed. The mean implant time was (39.6±1.7) minutes. The average fluoroscopy time was (9.2±1.3) minutes and the number of deployment was (1.40±0.55). Electrical parameters(threshold, R-Wave amplitude and impedance) were as follows: (0.40±0.10) V/0.24 ms, (10.80±3.72) mV and (822.00±162.23) Ω at implant; (0.45±0.07) V/0.24 ms, (13.04±2.41) mV, and (748.0±91.5) Ω at discharge, (0.40±0.06) V/0.24 ms, (14.26±4.11) mV, and (700.0±91.7) Ω at 1 month post-implant and (0.39±0.05) V/0.24 ms, 14.40±3.97 mV, and (682.0±96.0) Ω at 3 months post-implant, respectively. Threshold increase was ≤1.5 V compared to that during implantation, electrical parameters were acceptable and stable. There was no difference in LVEDD [(44.00±5.24) mm vs. (44.00±5.34) mm,P=1.000] and EF [(62.00±3.39)% vs. (62.20±3.56)%, P=0.861] before and 1 month post-implant. No incidence of access site complications, cardiac effusion/perforation, dislodgment or infections occurred during the 3 months. Conclusions: The leadless transcatheter pacemaker implantation performed in our study archived a high implant success rate and favorable safety profile as well as associated with low and stable pacing thresholds. The long-term safety and benefit of leadless pacemaker need to be evaluated in future clinical studies.

Poult Sci 2020; 100:206-214. [PMID: 33357683 PMCID: PMC7772654 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2020.09.070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Revised: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to validate the sensitivity and accuracy of in vitro digestible energy (IVDE) determined with a computer-controlled simulated digestion system (CCSDS) to predict metabolizable energy (ME) of diets for roosters. In experiment 1, soybean hulls were added to a basal diet (calibration diet 1) at 2.06, 4.12, 6.17, 8.23, 10.28, 12.32, or 14.37% of the diets (calibration diets 2–8) to produce an interval of approximately 80 kcal ME/kg. The sensitivity was measured by comparing the determined and actual IVDE of the diets. With these data, a linear model was developed to predict ME from IVDE. In experiment 2, validation diets were identical except they were composed of different cereal ingredients. For each diet, the correlations and ratios between IVDE and ME were analyzed to test the sensitivity of IVDE to predict ME across different ingredients. In experiment 1, a slope of 0.9899 was calculated in a linear regression of determined IVDE on actual IVDE (R2 = 0.9998; P < 0.01). The ratio of determined IVDE to actual IVDE was 0.9878. The ratio of IVDE to apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and to nitrogen-corrected AME (AMEn) was 1.03 and 1.05, respectively. The linear models to predict ME from IVDE were AME = 0.8449 × IVDE + 451 (R2 = 0.9812, residual standard deviation [RSD] = 28 kcal/kg; P < 0.01) and AMEn = 0.8357 × IVDE + 436 (R2 = 0.9821, RSD = 27 kcal/kg; P < 0.01). In experiment 2, a significant simple correlation was observed between the IVDE and AME or AMEn of validation diets (r > 0.97; P < 0.01). The ratio of IVDE to AME and to AMEn was 1.04 and 1.05, respectively. Predicted and determined AME or AMEn of 8 validation diets differed by less than 100 kcal/kg. The regression of determined AME or AMEn against predicted AME or AMEn (R2 ≥ 0.9466; P < 0.01) resulted in an overlapped line where Y = X. These results suggest the IVDE determined with CCSDS is highly sensitive and can be used to accurately predict the ME of diets for roosters across a wide range of cereal grains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The burden of cervical arterial atherosclerosis, which is an important risk factor of stroke, is huge in China. The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a convenient index that is related to a series of metabolic abnormalities and a variety of diseases, including cerebrovascular diseases. This study aimed to explore the relationship between VAI and cervical arterial atherosclerosis. METHODS This cross-sectional study used the multistage stratified random cluster sampling method to acquire a representative sample of residents aged ≥40 in the general population of northeast China. All participants completed a detailed questionnaire and provided blood samples. Cervical vascular ultrasound was performed by experienced ultrasound doctors. VAI was calculated by a well-established formula and analyzed by quartiles (Q1-Q4). RESULTS A total of 3688 people aged ≥40 years who underwent cervical arterial ultrasound were finally included, amongst whom 3.2% had increased intima-media thickness (IMT), 48.6% had carotid plaque and 4.0% had cervical artery stenosis (CAS). After adjusting for several parameters, little statistical significance was found between VAI and increased IMT; compared with the VAI-Q1 group, the VAI-Q2, VAI-Q3 and VAI-Q4 groups were more likely to have CAS [odds ratio (OR) 2.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17-3.43; OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.05-3.15; OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.03-3.12] and the VAI-Q3 and VAI-Q4 groups were at greater risk of carotid plaque (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.05-1.62; OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.07-1.67). CONCLUSIONS The VAI was related to carotid plaque and CAS in the general population that is older than 40 years.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 50:725-732.

Abstract
The DNA methylation statuses of the paired box 1 (PAX1) and zinc finger protein 582 (ZNF582) genes have shown promise in the detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of PAX1 and ZNF582 methylation to distinguish OSCC and the adjacent normal tissue among cancer patients. This study included 67 patients with OSCC. The methylation levels of these two genes were analysed in tissue specimens (lesion site and adjacent normal site) and in oral swabs (lesion site and contralateral normal site). Levels of DNA methylation were higher at lesion sites than at the corresponding normal sites. According to receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, the area under the curve for PAX1 and ZNF582 methylation ranged from 0.73 to 0.82. No significant difference was observed between tissue specimens and oral swabs (PAX1, P= 0.41; ZNF582, P=0.28). For the oral swab, PAX1 methylation was more pronounced in bone invasion (Z=1.988, P= 0.047), and ZNF582 methylation was more pronounced in early-stage (Z=2.354, P= 0.02) and well-differentiated tumours (Z=3.731, P= 0.0002). Hypermethylated PAX1 and ZNF582 are effective biomarkers to distinguish lesion sites and corresponding normal sites in tissue specimens and oral swabs from OSCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE When mapping the ischemic core and penumbra in patients with acute ischemic stroke using perfusion imaging, the core is currently delineated by applying the same threshold value for relative CBF at all time points from onset to imaging. We investigated whether the degree of perfusion abnormality and optimal perfusion parameter thresholds for defining ischemic core vary with time from onset to imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospectively maintained registry, consecutive patients were analyzed who had ICA or M1 occlusion, baseline perfusion and diffusion MR imaging, treatment with IV tPA and/or endovascular thrombectomy, and a witnessed, well-documented time of onset. Ten superficial and deep MCA ROIs were analyzed in ADC and perfusion-weighted images. RESULTS Among the 66 patients meeting entry criteria, onset-to-imaging time was 162 minutes (range, 94-326 minutes). Of the 660 ROIs analyzed, 164 (24.8%) showed severely or moderately reduced ADC (ADC ≤ 620, ischemic core), and 496 (75.2%), mildly reduced or normal ADC (ADC > 620). In ischemic core ADC regions, longer onset-to-imaging times were associated with more highly abnormal perfusion parameters-relative CBF: Spearman correlation, r = -0.22, P = .005; relative CBV: r = -0.41, P < .001; MTT: - r = -0.29, P < .001; and time-to-maximum: r = 0.35, P < .001. As onset-to-imaging times increased, the best cutoff values for relative CBF and relative CBV to discriminate core from noncore tissue became progressively lower and overall accuracy of the core tissue definition increased. CONCLUSIONS Perfusion abnormalities in ischemic core regions become progressively more abnormal with longer intervals from onset to imaging. Perfusion parameter value thresholds that best delineate ischemic core are more severely abnormal and have higher accuracy with longer onset-to-imaging times.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many studies have emphasized the function of microRNA-296 (miR-296) that inhibits tumor formation. To some extent, the role of miR-296 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains misleading. Therefore, the current research was designed to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of miR-296 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in ESCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS The mRNA expression of miR-296-5p and STAT3 in ESCC tissues or cell lines was measured via quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The protein level of STAT3 was measured by Western blotting assay. The Luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the binding sites between miR-296-5p and STAT3. The transwell assay was employed to identify cell migration and invasion. RESULTS Down-regulation of miR-296-5p was detected in ESCC tissues and cell lines (p<0.01). Additionally, miR-296-5p was found to target STAT3 directly. Functionally, up-regulation of miR-296-5p or down-regulation of STAT3 significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion in ESCC. CONCLUSIONS MiR-296-5p inhibited cell invasion and migration in ESCC by downregulating STAT3. The overexpression of miR-296-5p by targeting STAT3 suppressed tumorigenesis of ESCC cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many studies have demonstrated that the abnormal microRNAs (miRNAs) expression plays crucial roles in the development of human cancers including cervical cancer (CC). However, the expression and the underlying mechanism of miR-299-3p in CC remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, the quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect miR-299-3p expression level in CC cell lines. The cell proliferation assay, colony formation assay, and transwell invasion assay were conducted to investigate the biological functions of miR-299-3p. Followingly, the Luciferase activity reporter and the Western blot assays were conducted to validate the transcription factor 4 (TCF4) as a direct target of miR-299-3p. RESULTS MiR-299-3p expression level was reduced in CC cell lines compared with the normal cell line. The overexpression of miR-299-3p inhibits CC cell growth and invasion. Furthermore, TCF4 was validated as a direct target of miR-299-3p. In addition, TCF4 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-299-3p on CC cell behaviors. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results illustrated that miR-299-3p acts as a tumor suppressor to inhibit CC cell behaviors by targeting TCF4.

Abstract
Summary
Statistical analysis on networks has received growing attention due to demand from various emerging applications. In dynamic networks, one of the key interests is to model the event history of time-stamped interactions among nodes. We model dynamic directed networks via multivariate counting processes. A pseudo partial likelihood approach is exploited to capture the network dependence structure. Asymptotic results are established. Numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the regulatory effects of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of the activated B cells (NF-κB) on primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and to analyze the possible mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into M group (n=12, intraperitoneally injected with polyinosinic acid-polycytidine acid (PolyI:C) for 12 consecutive weeks, 2 times/week) and C group (n=12, intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline). After 12 weeks, the mice were sacrificed to collect liver tissues. Then, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to detect the content of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in liver tissues. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining assay was performed to observe the pathological changes of liver tissues, and measure the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in peripheral blood of mice. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining was applied to determine cell apoptosis in liver tissues. The relative messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB in liver tissues were detected by quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Western blotting was adopted to measure the protein expressions of TLR4, NF-κB, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and Caspase-3. RESULTS Compared with that in C group, the content of IL-6 and TNF-α in liver tissues in M group was significantly increased (p<0.01), but the level of IL-10 was statistically downregulated (p<0.01). According to HE staining, liver damage of mice in M group was evidently severer than that in C group, and the levels of ALT and AST in M group were significantly higher than those in C group (p<0.01). The amount of TUNEL-positive cells in liver tissues in M group was significantly greater than that in C group (p<0.01). The levels of TLR4 and NF-κB mRNA in liver tissues from M group were significantly elevated in comparison with the C group (p<0.01). Compared with those in C group, the expressions of TLR4, NF-κB, MyD88, and Caspase-3 proteins in M group showed statistical increases in liver tissues (p<0.01), whereas that of Bcl-2/Bax was significantly declined (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS PBC activates the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, induces the release of inflammatory factors and produces a large number of apoptotic proteins, which results in liver damage and cell apoptosis in mice.
