Nie HT, Guo YX, Yao XL, Ma TW, Deng KP, Wang Z, Zhang GM, Sun LW, Wang ZY, Wang HC, Wang F. Acute nutrient treatment causes alterations in intra-follicular antioxidation and AKT signaling. Reproduction 2018; 155:37-49. [DOI: 10.1530/rep-17-0446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2017] [Revised: 10/12/2017] [Accepted: 10/23/2017] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to determine if short-term nutrient alteration affects (1) ovarian morphology, (2) plasma and ovarian antioxidant capability and (3) cell apoptosis and AKT signaling within the ovary. After estrus synchronization, 24 Hu sheep were assigned to three groups based on the nutrient requirement recommended for maintenance (M): 1 × M (Control), 1.5 × M (S) and 0.5 × M (R) during days 7–14 of their estrous cycle. The results indicated that undernourishment significantly increased the counts and volume of follicles <2.5 mm and decreased the counts and volume of follicles ≥2.5 mm (P < 0.05). Feed restriction altered the plasma and follicular redox balance within follicles ≥2.5 mm by inhibiting total antioxidant capacity, increasing malondialdehyde concentration (P < 0.05) and reducing the mRNA expression levels of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), as well as the activities of total SOD and GSH-PX. Feed restriction also attenuated B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2) but enhanced Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) andBAX/BCL2transcription and translation levels in granulosa cells (P < 0.05). Uniform staining intensities of AKT and P-AKT-Ser473 were observed in each follicle stage, whereas weaker P-AKT-Thr308 staining in the antral follicle than in the pre-antral follicle suggested possible involvement of P-AKT-Thr308 during the beginning of follicle development. P-AKT-Ser473 levels in follicles ≥2.5 mm was significantly reduced in the R group (P < 0.05). The results presented in this study demonstrate that suppressed folliculogenesis caused by feed restriction might be associated with attenuated AKT signaling, reduced follicular antioxidant capacity and enhanced granulosa cells apoptosis.

Abstract
Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia granimis f. sp. tritici, severely affects wheat production, but it has been effectively controlled in China since the 1970s. However, the appearance and spread of wheat stem rust races Ug99 (TTKSK, virulence to Sr31), TKTTF (virulence to SrTmp) and TTTTF (virulence to the cultivars carrying Sr9e and Sr13) have received attention. It is important to clarify the effectiveness of resistance genes in a timely manner, especially for the purpose of using new resistance genes in wheat cultivars for durable-resistance. However, little is known about the stem rust resistance genes present in widely used wheat cultivars from Gansu. This study aimed to determine the resistance level at the seedling stage of the main wheat cultivars in Gansu Province. A secondary objective was to assess the prevalence of Sr2, Sr24, Sr25, Sr26, Sr31, and Sr38 using molecular markers. The results of the present study indicated that 38 (50.7%) wheat varieties displayed resistance to all the tested races of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici. The molecular marker analysis showed that 13 out of 75 major wheat cultivars likely carried Sr2; 25 wheat cultivars likely carried Sr31; and nine wheat cultivars likely carried Sr38. No cultivar was found to have Sr25 and Sr26, as expected. Surprisingly, no wheat cultivars carried Sr24. The wheat lines with known stem rust resistance genes could be used as donor parent for further breeding programs.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the significance of Twist2 in glioma and whether it is involved in the malignant transformation of glioma by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Methods: Using immunohistochemical method detected the expression level of Twist2 in 60 cases of gliomas (including WHO grades Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ, each for 20 cases) and 20 cases of non-tumor brain tissues. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression level of Twist2 mRNA and protein in 61 cases of fresh glioma tissue (WHO grade Ⅱ 16 cases, Ⅲ 21 cases, Ⅳ 24 cases) and 12 cases of adjacent tissues, and the expression levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin were also investigated in fresh glioma tissue. Results: Immunohistochemistry results showed that the percentages of Twist2 expression in glioma was 90%(54/60) compared with 30%(6/20) in non-tumor brain tissues(P<0.01). The percentages of Twist2 expression were 75% (15/20), 95% (19/20), and 100% (20/20) in the WHO gradesⅡ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ gliomas, respectively. WHO grades Ⅳ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of WHO grade Ⅱ (P<0.01). There was no significant difference between WHO grade Ⅳand WHO Ⅲ glioma (P>0.05). Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot showed that the expression level of Twist 2 in gliomas was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous tissues (P<0.01), and those in WHO grades Ⅳ and Ⅲ gliomas were significantly higher than that in WHO grade Ⅱ glioma (P<0.01). There was no significant difference between WHO grade Ⅳand grade Ⅲ glioma (P>0.05). Detection of key protein expression in EMT by Western blot displayed that the expression of E-cadherin was negatively associated with Twist2 in glioma (r=-0.972, P<0.01). The expression of N-cadherin and vimentin was positively associated with Twist2 in glioma(r=0.971, P<0.01; r=0.968, P<0.01). Conclusions: The expression of Twist2 in human glioma is positively correlated with the malignant grade of glioma, which may be involved in the malignant progression of glioma by EMT.

Abstract
The SWEET (sugars will eventually be exported transporter) family is a newly characterized group of sugar transporters. In plants, the key roles of SWEETs in phloem transport, nectar secretion, pollen nutrition, stress tolerance, and plant-pathogen interactions have been identified. SWEET family genes have been characterized in many plant species, but a comprehensive analysis of SWEET members has not yet been performed in wheat. Here, 59 wheat SWEETs (hereafter TaSWEETs) were identified through homology searches. Analyses of phylogenetic relationships, numbers of transmembrane helices (TMHs), gene structures, and motifs showed that TaSWEETs carrying 3-7 TMHs could be classified into four clades with 10 different types of motifs. Examination of the expression patterns of 18 SWEET genes revealed that a few are tissue-specific while most are ubiquitously expressed. In addition, the stem rust-mediated expression patterns of SWEET genes were monitored using a stem rust-susceptible cultivar, 'Little Club' (LC). The resulting data showed that the expression of five out of the 18 SWEETs tested was induced following inoculation. In conclusion, we provide the first comprehensive analysis of the wheat SWEET gene family. Information regarding the phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and expression profiles of SWEET genes in different tissues and following stem rust disease inoculation will be useful in identifying the potential roles of SWEETs in specific developmental and pathogenic processes.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the features and values of ultrasonic diagnosis for retinal detachment in eyes with silicone oil tamponade (SOT). Methods: A prospective study. A total of 257 eyes (257 patients) were filled with silicone oil between December 1, 2015 and August 1, 2016 in the Department of Ophthalmology at a hospital in Beijing. All of the patients underwent a color Doppler ultrasound examination in the supine and sitting positions a week prior to surgery. The pre-surgery conditions were compared with the subsequent observations during the surgery to analyze the features and values of ultrasonic diagnosis for retinal detachment in eyes with SOT. Results: Ultrasound manifestations of eyes with SOT included pseudo extension of the ocular axis and an arc-shaped echo between the eye wall and silicone oil. Diagnostic accuracy was 85.6% in the supine position and 93.8% in the sitting position. Conclusion: Ultrasound diagnosis for retinal detachment in eyes with SOT manifests itself in certain patterns. Compared with the traditional ultrasound examination in the supine position, the sitting position examination can be used to further increase the diagnostic accuracy in the ultrasound diagnosis for retinal detachment in eyes with SOT, providing reliable evidence for clinical and differential diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the early clinical treatment and prognosis of multi-segment intramedullary cervical ependymoma. METHODS Twenty patients with multi-segment (more than 3 segments) intramedullary spinal ependymoma (McCormic grade I) were microsurgically treated with assistance of intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring. None of them received postoperative radiotherapy. Preoperatively all the patients underwent MRI examination and their neurologically function was assessed by McCormic classification method. They were followed up for an average of 2.7 years (The follow-up ranged from 3 months to 4 years). All the patients underwent review of the MRI examination and their postoperative neurological function was assessed by McCormic classification method again. Evaluation was accomplished according to the results of the follow-up. RESULTS All tumors were intramedullary. The length of the tumor body varied from 3 to 8 vertebral segments with an average of 4.2 vertebral segments. Gross total removal was achieved in all the 20 patients through one-stage operation. The pathology of these patients was ependymoma (WHO grades I to II ). Two cases were lost during the follow-up due to the change of contact, but the hospital records of them showed that they recovered well at discharge. Eighteen cases were followed up constantly after operation. A case which ran through the whole cervical spinal cord had short-term mild motor dysfunction after operation, which manifested as weakness of the left side muscle strength to grade IV (which recovered to grade V during the follow-up period). Results of the follow-up showed that these 18 patients recovered well. Preoperative symptoms, such as limb numbness and painness were significantly alleviated. There was no obvious motor dysfunction. The bowel and bladder function of these 18 patients were almost normal. The McCormic scores of these 18 patients remained in grade I. No recurrence was found on review of the MRI examination. The main complications were a certain degree of deep sensory disturbance of lower extremities. The operation did not significantly affect the patient's life and work. CONCLUSION Aggressive surgical therapy is a good treatment strategy for early multi-segment intramedullary cervical ependymoma. There is nearly no recurrence after operation and no postoperative radiotherapy is needed after gross total removal of tumors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) in bladder cancer and its biological influence on invasion ability of bladder cancer cells. Methods: A total of 54 paraffin-embedded bladder cancer tissue samples and 12 normal bladder tissue specimens were retrieved in Jinshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University between January 2009 and December 2012. The expression of PAK1 in these tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The PAK1 mRNA and protein levels were measured in bladder cancer cell lines and human normal bladder epithelial cell line using real-time, fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. A stable PAK1 gene silencing bladder cancer cell strain 5637 were successfully constructed. After treatment with PAK1 RNA interference(RNAi), the ability of migration and invasion of the 5637 cell was evaluated using a Transwell system. Results: The expression of PAK1 proteins was significantly higher in bladder cancer tissues than in normal bladder tissues (28/54 vs 1/12, P<0.05). The overexpression of PAK1 was positively correlated with high histological grade, lymph node metastasis, and tumor size (all P<0.05). The mRNA level and protein level of PAK1 was much higher in bladder cancer cell lines T24, 5637 than human normal urothelial cell line SV-HUC-1.PCR and Western blot showed satisfactory inhibitory effect of PAK1 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on PAK1 expression in 5637 bladder cancer cells. The number of PAK1 RNAi-treated 5637 cells traversed the membrane was decreased compared with the control group in migration and invasion assays. Conclusions: Overexpression of PAK1 in bladder cancer tissues may be an important feature of bladder cancer and related with the metastasis and invasion of bladder cancer. The molecular mechanisms involved in regulation of PAK1 expression needs further research.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of lower airway abnormalities in allergic rhinitis(AR) patients without asthma. Methods: Between June 2008 and December 2012, 377 consecutive AR patients and 264 healthy subjects were recruited. All subjects underwent meticulous history taking, nasal examination, allergen skin prick test, blood routine test, serum total immunoglobin E assay, induced sputum cell count and differentials, measurement of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and bronchial challenge test. Results: The positive rates in AR patients was 12.2%(46/377) for bronchial provocation test, 49.2%(185/377) for FeNO, 39.0%(147/377) for sputum eosinophilia, 15.6%(40/377) for peripheral blood eosinophilia and 55.4%(209/377) for increased serum total IgE levels, which were consistently and statistically higher than those of healthy controls(P<0.01). The levels of FeNO [35.0 (21.8, 65.9)ppb], induced sputum eosinophil percentage [2.0 (0.0, 7.5)%], peripheral blood eosinophil percentage [2.9 (1.8, 4.5)%] and serum total IgE [178.4 (63.1, 384.0)kU/L] in AR patients were also higher(P<0.01). Compared with healthy controls, patients with AR demonstrated lower levels of FEV1/FVC%, MMEFpred%, MEF75 pred%, MEF25pred% (all P<0.05). Statistical analysis showed that FeNO, ratio of induced sputum eosinophil percentage and peripheral blood eosinophil percentage had significant correlations with each other(P<0.01), the r value being 0.247, 0.235, 0.355 respectively. Conclusion: AR without asthma is characterized by lower airway inflammation, small airway impairment and bronchial hyperreactivity, features similar to those of asthma.

Abstract
The spin and parity of the Z_{c}(3900)^{±} state are determined to be J^{P}=1^{+} with a statistical significance larger than 7σ over other quantum numbers in a partial wave analysis of the process e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ. We use a data sample of 1.92 fb^{-1} accumulated at sqrt[s]=4.23 and 4.26 GeV with the BESIII experiment. When parametrizing the Z_{c}(3900)^{±} with a Flatté-like formula, we determine its pole mass M_{pole}=(3881.2±4.2_{stat}±52.7_{syst}) MeV/c^{2} and pole width Γ_{pole}=(51.8±4.6_{stat}±36.0_{syst}) MeV. We also measure cross sections for the process e^{+}e^{-}→Z_{c}(3900)^{+}π^{-}+c.c.→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-} and determine an upper limit at the 90% confidence level for the process e^{+}e^{-}→Z_{c}(4020)^{+}π^{-}+c.c.→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-}.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic lead (Pb) exposure affects the developing central nervous system, whereas Tanshinone IIA (TSA) improves cognitive deficits. METHODS In this study, we investigated the effects of TSA against lead-induced neurotoxicity in a rat pup model. A total of thirty two healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: lead-treated group, lead plus TSA-treated 1 group, lead plus TSA-treated 2 group, and controls. After a 4-week lead exposure, memory function was determined using Morris water maze and the concentration of lead was measured in blood. Total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), glutathione (GSH), malonaldehyde (MDA) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) activities were determined in hippocampus samples. RESULTS Lead exposure causes decrease of body weight; increase of the blood lead concentration; decrease of antioxidant activities and BDNF content. However, co-administration of TSA with lead ameliorated the weight loss. Furthermore, TSA inhibited neurotoxicity as evidenced by decreased latency period and increase in percentage of time spent in the target quadrant. Administration of TSA also improved antioxidant activities by increased T-SOD, GSH, and decreased MDA activities compared to lead-treated group. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence of that TSA has a neuroprotective effect against lead-induced cognitive deficit by enhancing antioxidant activities in the brain (Tab. 2, Fig. 3, Ref. 27).

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between shift work and overweight/obesity in male steel workers. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among the male steel workers selected during health examination in Tangshan Steel Company from March 2015 to March 2016. The relationship between shift work and overweight/obesity in the male steel workers were analyzed by using logistic regression model and restricted cubic splinemodel. Results: A total of 7 262 male steel workers were surveyed, the overall prevalence of overweight/obesitywas 64.5% (4 686/7 262), the overweight rate was 34.3% and the obesity rate was 30.2%, respectively. After adjusting for age, educational level and average family income level per month by multivariable logistic regression analysis, shift work was associated with overweight/obesity and obesity in the male steel workers. The OR was 1.19(95% CI: 1.05-1.35) and 1.15(95% CI: 1.00-1.32). Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that the relationship between shift work years and overweight/obesity in the male steel workers was a nonlinear dose response one (nonlinear test χ2=7.43, P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that the relationship between shift work years and obesity in the male steel workers was a nonlinear dose response one (nonlinear test χ2=10.48, P<0.05). Conclusion: Shift work was associated with overweight and obesity in the male steel workers, and shift work years and overweight/obesity had a nonlinear relationship.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the application of combination use of microscope and endoscope in cerebral pontine angle (CPA) surgery. Methods: A total of 72 patients undergone lateral skull base surgeries via endoscope under microscopic control from January 2006 to January 2015 was reviewed respectively. The patients including 35 males and 37 females were composed of 22 cases of vestibular swannnomas, 45 cases of cranial neuropathy and 5 cases of CPA chelesteatoma. Twenty cases of vestibular swannnomas, 15 cases of cranial neuropathy and 2 cases of CPA chelesteatoma undergone the surgery via retrosigmoid approach, while other cases undergone the surgery via retrolabyrinthine approach. Surgical procedures were accomplished under the control of microscope and different angular endoscope with imaging fusion. The surgical results were evaluated according to subjective and objective criteria, and all patients were followed up for 15 years. Results: The symptoms was disappeared in the cranial neuropathy patients, without facial paralysis, complication of other nerves or hearing loss. Twenty-two patients with vestibular schwannomas got total tumor removal without facial palsy or neurological deficits; useful hearing was preserved in 16 of 22 patients (72.7%), and no tumor recurrence was found during 1-5 years follow-up. There was also no facial palsy or other complications in 5 cases of CPA chelesteatoma, which gained completely surgical removal; useful hearing was preserved in 3 of 5 cases of these patients and no recurrence was occurred during 1-1.5 years follow-up. Conclusions: A combination use of endoscope and microscope could combine advantages and avoid disadvantages of two techniques. It can provide better exposure with minimal invasion in CPA surgery, and is especially applicable in surgery for cranial neuropathy, vestibular schwannoma and CPA cholesteatoma, which should be performed through retrosigmoid approach and retrolabyrinthine approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the amplitude change of supramaximal facial nerve stimulation during acoustic neuroma removal and facial function outcome, and discuss its influencing factors. METHODS Retrospective study of 34 acoustic neuroma patients. Intraoperative amplitude by supramaximal stimulation, facial function outcome, tumor size, surgical approach, facial nerve course pattern, and tumor cystic status, as well as tumor adhesion degree were collected and analyzed by SPSS 17.0. RESULTS Acoustic neurnomas were removed in all 34 patients without intra- and postoperative complications, the facial nerve were all anatomically preserved. Two weeks later, 5 cases showed facial function HB Grade Ⅰ, 13 HB Ⅱ, 11 HB Ⅲ and 5 HB Ⅳ. The amplitude changes under supramaximal stimulation after tumor removal were 12.9%-100%, average (63.9±25.7)%. The facial function outcomes were poor (HB Ⅳ) in the cases whose intraoperative amplitude decreases were more than 70%. Different postoperative facial function group showed significantly different intraoperative amplitude changes (F=7.585, P=0.001), except HB Ⅰ group and HB Ⅱ group. The existence of cystic degeneration showed strong correlation (r=-0.635) to the amplitude changes, the level of tumor adhesion showed moderately negative correlation (r=-0.455), and tumor size showed weak negative correlation (r=-0.292), surgical approach and the facial nerve course pattern were not statistically relevant. CONCLUSIONS The amplitude change of facial nerve supramaxial stimulation can predict the postoperative facial function. The amplitude change is valuable for early treatment of facial nerve damage.

Abstract
Acute chest pain caused by aortic dissection or acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most serious medical emergencies and requires very quick differential diagnosis to seize the best time for treatment. Aortic dissection and acute myocardial infarction are manifested with similar symptoms, making it difficult to differentially diagnose these two conditions. The present case was initially misdiagnosed as an acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with left aortic disease, and then diagnosed by coronary angiography examination as type A aortic dissection (AAD). This case points to the need to collect and analyze as much patient clinical data as possible, including medical history and the results of auxiliary examination which would help to avoid misdiagnosis or treatment delay and reduce mortality among patients with type AAD when they manifest symptoms of chest pain and an ECG pattern of NSTEMI.

Abstract
This study was conducted with an ovine intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) model to test the hypothesis that dietary -carbamylglutamate (NCG) and rumen-protected -Arg (RP-Arg) supplementation are effective in ameliorating fetal growth restriction in undernourished ewes. Beginning on d 35 of gestation, ewes were fed a diet providing 100% of NRC-recommended nutrient requirements, 50% of NRC recommendations (50% NRC), 50% of NRC recommendations supplemented with 20 g/d RP-Arg (providing 10 g/d of Arg), and 50% of NRC recommendations supplemented with 5 g/d NCG product (providing 2.5 g/d of NCG). On d 110, maternal, fetal, and placental tissues and fluids were collected and weighed. Ewe weights were lower ( < 0.05) in nutrient-restricted ewes compared with adequately fed ewes. Maternal RP-Arg or NCG supplementation did not alter ( = 0.26) maternal BW in nutrient-restricted ewes. Weights of most fetal organs were increased ( < 0.05) in RP-Arg-treated and NCG-treated underfed ewes compared with 50% NRC-fed ewes. Supplementation of RP-Arg or NCG reduced ( < 0.05) concentrations of β-hydroxybutyrate, triglycerides, and ammonia in serum of underfed ewes but had no effect on concentrations of lactate and GH. Maternal RP-Arg or NCG supplementation markedly improved ( < 0.05) concentrations of AA (particularly arginine-family AA and branched-chain AA) and polyamines in maternal and fetal plasma and in fetal allantoic and amniotic fluids within nutrient-restricted ewes. These novel results indicate that dietary NCG and RP-Arg supplementation to underfed ewes ameliorated fetal growth restriction, at least in part, by increasing the availability of AA in the conceptus and provide support for its clinical use to ameliorate IUGR in humans and sheep industry production.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate changes of swallowing function and associated symptoms in Chiari malformation typeI (CMI) patients with and without dysphagia by the analysis of their clinical and high-resolution manometry (HRM) parameters. METHODS A total of 42 patients diagnosed with symptomatic CMI without atlantoaxial dislocations which were confirmed by clinical manifestations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings between January 2010 and July 2015 at Peking University Third Hospital were included in this study. Twenty patients had a history of various dysphagia symptoms, or reported symptoms of choking, coughing after eating or drinking, while the other 22 patients denied symptoms of dysphagia. The data collected from the medical records of these patients included the patient's age, sex, date of diagnosis, duration of illness, symptoms, results of MRI and HRM, and date of surgery. RESULTS (1) Dysphagia group had 14 female patients, and no-dysphagia group had 8 female patients. Dysphagia usually occurred in female patients, and in addition to dysphagia, we recorded other symptoms and signs in the CMI patients, including numbness, hypoesthesia, limb weakness, neck pain, muscle atrophy, ataxia, hoarseness, symptoms caused by posterior cranial nerve damage, pharyngeal reflex, uvula deviation, and pyramidal signs. A higher percentage of the CMI patients with dysphagia (15/20) had symptoms of posterior cranial nerve damage compared with the control group (5/22; P=0.01). (2)HRM showed a significant difference in upper esophageal sphincter (UES) relax ratio measurement (75.3% vs. 63.1%, P=0.023) and UES proximal margin (17.2 cm vs. 15.7 cm, P=0.005) between the two groups. (3) The percentage of syringomyelia affecting the bulbar or upper cervical region on MRI was significantly higher in the dysphagia group (17/20 vs. 7/22, P=0.001). CONCLUSION CMI was usually accompanied by symptoms caused by posterior cranial nerve damage, ataxia, and positive pyramidal signs. Location of the syringomyelia affecting specifically the bulbar or upper cervical region was associated with dysphagia in CMI patients. These findings suggest that the mechanism of dysphagia in CMI may be due to a dysfunction in the neurological pathway of pharyngeal muscle movement. Dysphagia etiology work-up should include CMI in the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
The spinal cord is a vital link between the brain and the body and mainly comprises neurons, glial cells and nerve fibres. In this work, nonlinear optical (NLO) microscopy based on intrinsic tissue properties was employed to label-freely analyze the cells and matrix in spinal cords at a molecular level. The high-resolution and high-contrast NLO images of unstained spinal cords demonstrate that NLO microscopy has the ability to show the microstructure of white and grey matter including ventral horn, intermediate area, dorsal horns, ventral column, lateral column and dorsal column. Neurons with various sizes were identified in grey matter by dark spots of nonfluorescent nuclei encircled by cytoplasm-emitting two-photon excited fluorescence signals. Nerve fibres and neuroglias were observed in white matter. Besides, the spinal arteries were clearly presented by NLO microscopy. Using spectral and morphological information, this technique was proved to be an effective tool for label-freely imaging spinal cord tissues, based on endogenous signals in biological tissue. With future development, we foresee promising applications of the NLO technique for in vivo, real-time assessment of spinal cord diseases or injures.

Abstract
We report the first direct measurement of decays of the Λ_{c}^{+} baryon involving the neutron. The analysis is performed using 567 pb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data collected at sqrt[s]=4.599 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We observe the decay Λ_{c}^{+}→nK_{S}^{0}π^{+} and measure the absolute branching fraction to be B(Λ_{c}^{+}→nK_{S}^{0}π^{+})=[1.82±0.23(stat)±0.11(syst)]%. A comparison to B[Λ_{c}^{+}→p(K[over ¯]π)^{0}] provides an important test of isospin symmetry and final state interactions.

Abstract
Thermal denaturation of lysozymes was studied as a function of protein concentration, phosphate buffer concentration, and scan rate using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which was then analyzed by the isoconversional method. The results showed that lysozyme thermal denaturation was only slightly affected by the protein concentration and scan rate. When the protein concentration and scan rate increased, the denaturation temperature (Tm) also increased accordingly. On the contrary, the Tm decreased with the increase of phosphate buffer concentration. The denaturation process of lysozymes was accelatated and the thermal stability was reduced with the increase of phosphate concentration. One part of degeneration process was not reversible where the aggregation occurred. The other part was reversible. The apparent activation energy (Ea) was computed by the isoconversional method. It decreased with the increase of the conversion ratio (α). The observed denaturation process could not be described by a simple reaction mechanism. It was not a process involving 2 standard reversible states, but a multi-step process. The new opportunities for investigating the kinetics process of protein denaturation can be supplied by this novel isoconversional method.

Abstract
The cross section for the process e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ is measured precisely at center-of-mass energies from 3.77 to 4.60 GeV using 9 fb^{-1} of data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Two resonant structures are observed in a fit to the cross section. The first resonance has a mass of (4222.0±3.1±1.4) MeV/c^{2} and a width of (44.1±4.3±2.0) MeV, while the second one has a mass of (4320.0±10.4±7.0) MeV/c^{2} and a width of (101.4_{-19.7}^{+25.3}±10.2) MeV, where the first errors are statistical and second ones are systematic. The first resonance agrees with the Y(4260) resonance reported by previous experiments. The precision of its resonant parameters is improved significantly. The second resonance is observed in e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ for the first time. The statistical significance of this resonance is estimated to be larger than 7.6σ. The mass and width of the second resonance agree with the Y(4360) resonance reported by the BABAR and Belle experiments within errors. Finally, the Y(4008) resonance previously observed by the Belle experiment is not confirmed in the description of the BESIII data.

Abstract
The cross sections of e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}h_{c} at center-of-mass energies from 3.896 to 4.600 GeV are measured using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The cross sections are found to be of the same order of magnitude as those of e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ and e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}ψ(2S), but the line shape is inconsistent with the Y states observed in the latter two modes. Two structures are observed in the e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}h_{c} cross sections around 4.22 and 4.39 GeV/c^{2}, which we call Y(4220) and Y(4390), respectively. A fit with a coherent sum of two Breit-Wigner functions results in a mass of (4218.4_{-4.5}^{+5.5}±0.9) MeV/c^{2} and a width of (66.0_{-8.3}^{+12.3}±0.4) MeV for the Y(4220), and a mass of (4391.5_{-6.8}^{+6.3}±1.0) MeV/c^{2} and a width of (139.5_{-20.6}^{+16.2}±0.6) MeV for the Y(4390), where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. The statistical significance of Y(4220) and Y(4390) is 10σ over one structure assumption.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current status of occupational mental health and job satisfaction in university teachers in Shenyang, China and related influencing factors. Methods: A total of 1500 teachers from 6 universities in Shenyang were randomly selected as study subjects from November 2013 to January 2014. Self-administered questionnaires were used to investigate mental health, including effort-reward imbalance questionnaire, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, Center for Epidemiological Survey-Depression Scale, and Psychological Capital Questionnaire. Results: Of all teachers, 58.9% had depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms in university teachers were negatively correlated with the scores of psychological capital, supervisory commitment, and perceived organizational support (r=-0.461, -0.306, and -0.366, all P<0.01) and were positively correlated with the score of occupational stress (r=0.414, P<0.01) . Job satisfaction was positively correlated with psychological capital, perceived organizational support, and supervisory commitment (r=0.650, 0.715, and 0.636, all P<0.01) and negatively correlated with occupational stress (r=-0.475, P<0.01) . The direct effects of occupational stress, perceived organizational support, and supervisory commitment on job satisfaction were -0.30, 0.26, and 0.14, respectively, and their indirect effects were -0.0176, 0.0656, and 0.0368, respectively. The direct effects of occupational stress, perceived organizational support, and supervisory commitment on depressive symptoms were 0.20, -0.08, and -0.05, respectively, and their indirect effects was 0.033, -0.123, and -0.069, respectively. Conclusion: Occupational mental health is closely associated with job satisfaction in university teachers in Shenyang, and psychological capital has a mediating effect on perceived organizational support, supervisory commitment, occupational stress, job satisfaction, and depressive symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To campare the effect and tolerance beween intensified myeloablative conditioning regime (IMCR) without antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and myeloablative conditioning regime (MCR) for single-unit unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (sUCBT) in hematological malignancies. METHODS The clinical data of 190 patients with hematological malignancies undergoing sUCBT between April 2000 and December 2013 at Department of Hematology, Anhui Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, of whom 156 received IMCR without ATG (IMCR group), including 79 patient receiving total body irradiation (TBI)/cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C)/cyclophosphamide (CY) regime, 47 receiving fludarabine (Flu)/busulfan (Bu)/CY regime, and 30 receiving Ara-C/Bu/CY regime, and all of the 156 received a combination of cyclosporine A (CsA) and mycophelonate mofetil (MMF) for the prophylaxis of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); the remaining 34 patients received MCR (MCR group), 30 patients receiving Bu/CY regime, and 4 receiving TBI/CY regime, all using CsA/MMF±ATG or methotrexate (MTX) for the prophylaxis of GVHD. The two groups were compared in disease status at the time of transplantation, characteristics of graft, transplantation effect, and transplantation-related complications. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, disease type, human leukocyte antigen match, ABO blood type match, and disease status at the time of transplantation (all P>0.05). The median age and body weight at transplantation in the IMCR group were significantly higher than those in the MCR group (13 years vs 9 years, P=0.003; 44 kg vs 26 kg, P=0.000). The median doses of infused total nucleated cells (×10(7)/kg) and CD34(+) cells (×10(5)/kg) in the IMCR group were significantly lower than in the MCR group (3.87 vs 4.99, P=0.002; 2.00 vs 3.17, P=0.000). The cumulative incidence of myeloid engraftment on the 42th day and platelet engraftment on the 120th day in the IMCR group were remarkably higher than in the MCR group [96.33%(95%CI: 96.27%-96.39%)vs 82.30%(95%CI: 80.67%-83.93%), P=0.000; 86.44%(95%CI: 86.28%-86.60%)vs 51.17%(95%CI: 49.02%-53.32%), P=0.002]. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidences of grade Ⅱ to Ⅳ acute GVHD, grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ acute GVHD, and 2-year chronic GVHD(P=0.482, 0.928, 0.579). The incidence of pre-engraftment syndrome in the IMCR group was higher than in the MCR group(82.70% vs 47.06%, P=0.000). And 180-day transplantation-related mortality (TRM) in the IMCR group was lower than that in the MCR group [20.50%(95%CI: 20.28%-20.71%)vs 42.20% (95%CI: 41.32%-45.09%), P=0.004]. Up to October 2015, with a median follow-up of 44.2(22.7-188.9)months, the estimated 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival in the IMCR group were both significantly higher than those in the MCR group (62.90% vs 34.10%, P=0.000; 58.60% vs 34.10%, P=0.001). CONCLUSION IMCR without ATG may improve the engraftment without increasing complications, reduce early transplantation-related mortality, and improve survival.

Abstract
Current treatment options of vestibular schwannomas should not be limited to conventional surgery because of the variability of tumor growth. Recent studies of vestibular schwannomas suggested that the development of the tumor tended to depend on the shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm, and the expression patterns of merlin protein. New drug targets for schwannoma therapies might be identified through future in-depth investigations of the function of merlin, thus contributing to tumor control.

Abstract
It has been over 200 years since the acoustic neuroma(AN) was firstly reported. From simply describing its symptoms to the decline of surgical mortality, the protection of facial and acoustic nerve function, as well as the improvement of the patients' quality of life. Physicians made efforts on evolving the diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies, and a better understanding of AN's development. The current major managements of AN are microsurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, and follow-up. We reviewed the AN's history and prospected its future managements.

Abstract
Based on a sample of 1.31×10^{9} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis of the isospin-violating decays η^{'}→π^{+}π^{-}π^{0} and η^{'}→π^{0}π^{0}π^{0} is performed. A significant P-wave contribution from η^{'}→ρ^{±}π^{∓} is observed for the first time in η^{'}→π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}. The branching fraction is determined to be B(η^{'}→ρ^{±}π^{∓})=(7.44±0.60±1.26±1.84)×10^{-4}, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third model dependent. In addition to the nonresonant S-wave component, there is a significant σ meson component. The branching fractions of the combined S-wave components are determined to be B(η^{'}→π^{+}π^{-}π^{0})_{S}=(37.63±0.77±2.22±4.48)×10^{-4} and B(η^{'}→π^{0}π^{0}π^{0})=(35.22±0.82±2.54)×10^{-4}, respectively. The latter one is consistent with previous BESIII measurements.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship of single nucleotide polymorphisms of Multi-drug resistance (ABCB1/MDR1) gene with Aspirin resistance (AR) in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: Three hundred ischemic stroke patients from Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were collected from September 2014 to May 2016. According to the results of Thromboelastogram (TEG), the patients were divided into aspirin resistance (AR) group and aspirin sensitive (AS) group. The genotypes of ABCB1 gene (C1236T, G2677T/A, C3435T) were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and direct sequencing. Result: Linkage disequilibrium was found among the three loci (D'=0.8; r2=0.9). The T allele frequency of C3435T in AR group and AS group was 57.3% and 43.1% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=9.143, P=0.002). The frequency of genotypes CT+ TT in AR group was higher than AS group, and the difference was also significant (χ2=4.369, P=0.037). But there was no difference in allele frequency and genotype distribution of C1236T and G2677T/A between the two groups.Haplotypes constituted by the three loci were analyzed, and the OR value of haplotype (C-T-T) was 1.602 (χ2=5.374, P=0.02), the OR value of haplotype (C-G-C) was 0.495 (χ2=8.775, P=0.003), the OR value of haplotype (T-G-C) was 3.010 (χ2=5.846, P=0.015), while the OR value of haplotype (T-T-T) was 3.308 (χ2=4.650, P=0.031). Conclusions: The polymorphisms of C3435T in the ABCB1 gene have a relationship with AR in the patients with ischemic stroke. The haplotypes (C-T-T, T-G-C, T-T-T) are also related to the AR in the patients with ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Using 567 pb^{-1} of data collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=4.599 GeV, near the Λ_{c}^{+}Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-} threshold, we study the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays Λ_{c}^{+}→pπ^{+}π^{-} and Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{+}K^{-}. By normalizing with respect to the Cabibbo-favored decay Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+}, we obtain ratios of branching fractions: [B(Λ_{c}^{+}→pπ^{+}π^{-})/B(Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+})]=(6.70±0.48±0.25)%, [B(Λ_{c}^{+}→pϕ)/B(Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+})]=(1.81±0.33±0.13)%, and [B(Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{+}K_{non-ϕ}^{-})/B(Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+})]=(9.36±2.22±0.71)×10^{-3}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The absolute branching fractions are also presented. Among these measurements, the decay Λ_{c}^{+}→pπ^{+}π^{-} is observed for the first time, and the precision of the branching fraction for Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{+}K_{non-ϕ}^{-} and Λ_{c}^{+}→pϕ is significantly improved.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the manual operation skills of operative treatment of ipsilateral Hawkins Ⅲ talus neck and ankle joint fractures via internal and lateral approaches with Herbert screws, and to study the clinical results. Method: From Jan 2009 to Dec 2014, the clinical data of 13 patients with ipsilateral Hawkins Ⅲ talus neck and ankle joint fractres via internal and lateral approaches with Herbert screws were retrospectively analyzed in our department.There were 10 males and 3 female, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years with an average age of 31.5 years.The fractures occurred on the right side in 9 patients and on the left side in 4 patients.Three cases had the complication of medial malleolar fracture.Ten cases had the complication of medial and lateral malleolar fracture. Totally 11 cases were made calcaneal skeletal traction, and all the were made CT with three-dimensional image reconstruction.Two cases were treated with emergency operation.Eleven cases were treated with selective operation.The operation time was 5 hours-10 days after injury. The functional results were evaluated by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). Result: The average duration of follow-up was 22.6 months (range, 14-65 months). There was skin necrosis in one cases, no incision infection, malunion and nonunion of the fractures and loss of reduction. At final follow-up, AOFAS ankle score was 75.2 (range, 42 to 93), higher than preoperative 39.2 (range, 23 to 60), the difference was statistically significant (P=0.023). The result was excellent in 4 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 3 cases and 1 cases in poor, and the overall excellent or good rate was 69.2%. Avascular necrosis occurred in 3 cases (23.1%, 3/13). Traumatic arthritis was found in 5 cases (38.5%, 5/13), involved tibial astragaloid joint in 2 cases, involved subtalar joint in 1 case, involved tibial astragaloid joint and subtalar joint in 2 cases. Conclusion: The effect of surgical treatment for ipsilateral Hawkins Ⅲ talus neck and ankle joint fractures via internal and lateral approaches with Herbert screws is satisfactory.Correct operative approach and pay more attention to protect blood circulation of intraoperative, anatomical precision and strong reduction and fixation are the key to achieve and gain better long-term results for the surgical treatment of ipsilateral Hawkins Ⅲ talus neck and ankle joint fractures.

Abstract
This study aimed at the reproductive endocrine profile under a natural photoperiod in Yangzhou female geese. Geese in the breeding industry were exposed to a natural photoperiod and the results showed the breeding season of Yangzhou geese initiated in autumn, reached peak in February and March, and terminated in June. Fifteen female geese were randomly selected for blood collection samples monthly. The results showed serum luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations in female geese were higher in the breeding season than in the non-breeding season. The concentrations of Prolactin (PRL) were also high in the breeding season. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) concentrations were high from March to May and decreased to low levels in other periods. Furthermore, 6 female birds were selected randomly monthly, sacrificed, and the hypothalamus and pituitary isolated. The expressions of FSH were also high in the breeding season, while the expressions of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) fluctuated. These results indicated that the reproductive hormones and their transcript expressions were closely related to the reproductive activities in Yangzhou geese.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the killing effects of radiation and mutant Rad50 transfection on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE1. Methods: The experimental groups included: control group, Ad-Rad50-GFP group, Ad-EGFP group, irradiation group, Ad-Rad50-GFP combined with irradiation group, and Ad-EGFP combined with irradiation group. CNE1 cells were transfected with recombinant adenoviral vector Ad-Rad50-GFP carrying mutant Rad50 gene. The expressions of Mre11, Rad50, Nbs1, and relevant constituents composing MRN complex were detected by Western Blot. Neutral comet assay was used to detect the effect of mutant Rad50 on restoration process of DNA damage. Cell growth curve was used to evaluate the growth inhibition of CNE1 by mutant Rad50 and radiation. Results: Expressions of Mre11, Rad50, and Nbs1 in cells of Ad-Rad50-GFP group were less significantly than those in control group when irradiation was completed (0.48 vs 0.62, 0.42 vs 0.5, and 0.53 vs 0.69, respectively, P<0.05) and 24 hours after irradiation (0.41 vs 0.69, 0.46 vs 0.58, and 0.34 vs 0.78, respectively, P<0.05). The mean tail moment (MTM) in Ad-Rad50-GFP plus irradiation group was higher than that in irradiation group when irradiation was completed (16.06 vs 14.8, P<0.05), 24 hours after irradiation (58.23 vs 15.89, P<0.05) and 48 hours after irradiation: (45.12 vs 11.42, P<0.05). Seven days after irradiation, the cells in Ad-Rad50-GFP plus irradiation group was less than those in control group or irradiation group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Mutant Rad50 enhances killing effects of radiation on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE1.

Abstract
Iron-based nanoparticles form the basis for a host of sustainable alternative technologies based on this earth-abundant, low-toxicity element that can adopt a variety of oxidation states, crystal phases, and functions. Control of size, shape, and phase stability is a challenge for many nano-iron-based technologies, especially those involving Fe0 that is susceptible to oxidation under ambient conditions. This article presents a continuous method for hybridizing Fe-based nanoparticles with carbon in the form of graphene-encapsulated Fe-based particles with core-shell symmetry that allows flexible control of iron particle size, shape, and phase stability. The method uses FeOOH nanorods and graphene oxide as precursors, and subjects them to an aerosol-phase microdroplet drying and annealing process to yield a range of Fe/C nanohybrids whose structure can be controlled through adjustment of aerosol process temperature and post-synthesis thermal treatment conditions. We demonstrate that FeOOH nanorods can be successfully encapsulated in graphene, and transform during annealing into encapsulated Fe3O4 or Fe0 nanoparticles by reductive fragmentation, where the graphene nanosack acts as a carbothermic reductant. The hybrids are characterized by vibrating sample magnetometry and Cr(VI) reduction rates in aqueous media. The Fe0-graphene hybrids show high activity, good stability, and good recyclability in aqueous Cr(VI) removal due to the effect of graphene encapsulation. The present work suggests this rapid and continuous synthesis method can produce stable Fe-based materials, and can be extended to other metal systems, where graphene encapsulation can induce in situ reduction of metal oxide precursors into zero-valent metal-graphene hybrids.

Abstract
The tolerance of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses could be improved by transforming with fungal resistance-related genes. In this study, the cDNA sequence (GenBank Acc. No. KP337939) of the resistance-related gene Hsp24 encoding the 24 kD heat shock protein was obtained from the biocontrol fungus Trichoderma asperellum ACCC30536. The promoter region of Hsp24 contained many cis-regulators related to stresses response, such as "GCN4" and "GCR1" etc. Hsp24 transcription in T. asperellum was up-regulated under six different environmental stresses, compared with the control. Furthermore, following heterologous transformation into Populus davidiana × P. alba var. Pyramidalis (Pdpap), Hsp24 was successfully transcribed in transformant Pdpap-Hsp24s. Pathogen-related genes (PRs) in four Pdpap-Hsp24s were up-regulated compared with those in the control Pdpap (Pdpap-Con). After co-culture of Pdpap-Hsp24s with the weak parasite Cytospora chrysosperma, the transcription of genes related to hormone signal pathway (JA and SA) were up-regulated in Pdpap-Hsp24s, and ethidium bromide (EtBr) and Nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) staining assays indicated that the cell membrane permeability and the active oxygen content of Pdpap-Hsp24s leaves were lower than that of the control Pdpap-Con. And when the Pdpap-Hsp24s were under the Alternaria alternate stress, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) got higher in Pdpap-Hsp24s than that in Pdpap-Con, and the disease spots in Pdpap-Con leaves were obviously larger than those in Pdpap-Hsp24s leaves. In summary, Hsp24 of T. asperellum ACCC30536 is an important defense response gene, and its heterologous expression improved the resistance of transformant Pdpap-Hsp24s to C. chrysosperma and A. alternate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To deepen the understanding of acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS). METHODS The clinical data of 3 patients were analyzed and related literature were reviewed. RESULTS ① Case 1, a 70- year- old male, diagnosed as Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and AVWS, was presented with spontaneous epitaxis and bruising. The VWF∶Ag level was 16%. Treatment was initiated with VWF concentrates. Two cycles of chemotherapy with Bortezomib, thalidomide and Dexamethasone were followed. Partial remission was achieved. Half- year' follow- up showed no sign of spontaneous hemorrhage. ② Case 2, a 48- year- old female, diagnosed as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and AVWS, was presented with repeated epitaxis. The VWF∶Ag level was 7%. Because the bleeding was slight and self-relieved, no specific treatment was addressed. She was followed up for one and a half year. ③ Case 3, a 50- year- old man, diagnosed as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and AVWS, was referred to our hospital for presentation with significant hematomas. VWF∶ Ag was reduced to 12%. VWF- containing cryoprecipitate, plasma, intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab were used to control his bleeding symptom. During the follow-up, spontaneous hemorrhage still occurred occasionally. CONCLUSIONS Acquired von Willebrand syndrome presented with heterogeneous symptoms. The level of VWF∶Ag and VWF∶Rco for patients with bleeding disorder should be performed. Abnormal bleeding symptoms in elderly patients without personal or family history of bleeding should prompt consideration of the underlying disorders. Treatment included controlling acute bleeding, curing the underlying diseases and preventing bleeding in high- risk situations. The prognosis of acquired von Willebrand syndrome is mainly related to the underlying diseases.

Abstract
Using 1.09×10^{9} J/ψ events collected by the BESIII experiment in 2012, we study the J/ψ→γη^{'}π^{+}π^{-} process and observe a significant abrupt change in the slope of the η^{'}π^{+}π^{-} invariant mass distribution at the proton-antiproton (pp[over ¯]) mass threshold. We use two models to characterize the η^{'}π^{+}π^{-} line shape around 1.85 GeV/c^{2}: one that explicitly incorporates the opening of a decay threshold in the mass spectrum (Flatté formula), and another that is the coherent sum of two resonant amplitudes. Both fits show almost equally good agreement with data, and suggest the existence of either a broad state around 1.85 GeV/c^{2} with strong couplings to the pp[over ¯] final states or a narrow state just below the pp[over ¯] mass threshold. Although we cannot distinguish between the fits, either one supports the existence of a pp[over ¯] moleculelike state or bound state with greater than 7σ significance.

Abstract
By using R language to deal with practical problems, we introduce two methods of obtaining time related receiver operation characteristic [ROC(t)] curves from survival data: 1) nearest-neighbor estimator of bivariate distribution (NNE) estimation: to obtain cumulative/dynamic ROC(C/D) (t) curves; 2) Cox estimation: to obtain incident/dynamic ROC(I/D) (t) curves. The areas under the ROC(t) curves (AUC) obtained from the two methods fluctuate over time. The one obtained through NNE has bigger fluctuation than that obtained through Cox, while the mean of AUC of the two methods are similar. Time related ROC (t) can be effectively used to evaluate the diagnostic capacity of the marker in clinical trials, and help to select the best diagnostic time of the marker. According to the different scientific interests, researchers should select relevant methods for more accurate evaluation.

Abstract
A search for radiative decays of the P-wave spin singlet charmonium resonance h_{c} is performed based on 4.48×10^{8} ψ^{'} events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Events of the reaction channels h_{c}→γη^{'} and γη are observed with a statistical significance of 8.4σ and 4.0σ, respectively, for the first time. The branching fractions of h_{c}→γη^{'} and h_{c}→γη are measured to be B(h_{c}→γη^{'})=(1.52±0.27±0.29)×10^{-3} and B(h_{c}→γη)=(4.7±1.5±1.4)×10^{-4}, respectively, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic uncertainties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between different urbanization levels and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in China and provide suggestions on designing relevant health policies in the urbanization process. METHODS We obtained health-related data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2011. This study used multistage sampling in design stage and covered 150 districts/counties, representative at the levels of the country. Geo-information system (GIS) method was used to get district areas data, and in combination with the Sixth National Census population data, we computed the population density which was regarded as the proxy variable of urbanization level in every city. The Logistic model was used to explore the effect of urbanization level on hypertension, diabetes, smoking, drinking, overweight and obesity. RESULTS Compared with other cities in China, Shanghai and Shenzhen, with the population density of more than 3 000 people per km(2), were the cities with highest urbanization level. From the map of urbanization distribution across China, it was found that the urbanization levels of the northwestern districts were lower than those of the southeastern and coastal districts. The hypertension rate increased with the development of urbanization but there was no statistical significance. The proportion of patients with diabetes went up first and then saw a decrease trend in the process of urbanization. Drinking rate, overweight rate and obesity rate had similar trends, falling to their lowest point when urbanization level equaled 737,1 186 and 1 353 people per km(2) respectively and then experienced upward trends. By contrast, smoking rate declined first and then went up (the turning point was 1 029 people per km(2)). CONCLUSION Different urbanization levels have different effects on NCDs, health-related behavior, overweight and obesity. Low urbanization level may create negative impact on health while high level can pose positive effect and increase people's health condition possibly due to the improvement of health care accessibility and the quality of living environment. Policy-makers should specially focus on different residents'health problems in different periods of urbanization, such as the impact of environmental pollution, health resources' allocation and accessibility of health services. It is necessary to reduce or avoid the negative effect of urbanization on NCDs during the local development process to face the NCDs' threat.

Abstract
Ankle joint fracture is one of the most common types of fracture. There are many researches on the injury mechanism, treatment principles and surgical techniques. A type of injury which combines posterior dislocation of fibula, known as the Bosworth injury, is relatively rare. In 1947, Bosworth first described this type of injury as an unusual ankle fracture dislocation with fixed posterior fracture dislocation of the distal part of the fibula. In this type of fracture, the proximal fibular shaft fragment locks behind the tibialis posterior tubercle. This rare ankle fracture variant is often not recognized in initial radiographs and requires a computed tomographic (CT) scan for verification. But there are already many reports, discussing the injury mechanism, treatment principles and surgical techniques. However, there are few reports of anterior dislocation of the fibula, caused by either injury or surgery. The mechanism of the injury is still not clear. This article reports a case of anterior dislocation of the fibula. We report a patient with left ankle open fracture (Lauge-Hansen pronation-external rotation stage III, Gustilo IIIA). Open reduction and internal fixation was done in the initial surgery, but ended up with poor reduction, resulting in fibula anterior dislocation, anterior dislocation of talus and tibia fibular dislocation. The fibula was dislocated anteriorly of the tibia, which rarely happened. The patient suffered severe ankle joint dysfunction. The second operation took out the original internal fixation, reduced the fracture, and reset the internal fixation. The function of ankle joint was improved obviously after operation. But because of the initial injury and the two operations, the soft tissue around the fracture was greatly damaged. 6 months after the second operation, and the fracture still not healed, so the bone graft was carried out in the third surgery. Two months after the third surgery, the function of the ankle was significantly better than before, but the fracture healing was poor, which needed further review. Through this case, we understand the rare type of ankle fracture with anterior dislocation of the fibula, and recognize that the timing and quality of initial surgery has a great impact on the patient's prognosis and rehabilitation period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of increasing end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane and increasing stimulation voltage on motor evoked potentials, so as to provide evidence in making anesthesia plan for intraspinal tumor surgery. METHODS In the study, 48 patients scheduled to undergo intraspinal tumor surgery [American Society of Anesthesiology,(ASA) I-II, 18-65 years old] were enrolled. After general anesthesia induction, the patients were assigned to receive sevoflurane anesthesia of increasing end-tidal concentration in the sequence of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% respectively, under a background of propofol and remifentanil. All the observations were done before the important steps of surgery. Remifentanil infusion rate was 0.2 μg /(kg×min), while the propofol infusion rate was adjusted to maintain the bispectral index values within the range of 30-50. At each concentration, 4 stimulation voltages of 300 V, 400 V, 500 V and 600 V were employed to elicit motor evoked potentials (MEPs). The amplitude and latency of each MEP were compared. The success ratio was also recorded. RESULTS The concentration of sevoflurane and the stimulation voltage had impacts on the amplitude and latency of MEPs. Under each stimulation voltage, the MEPs amplitude decreased following increasing end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations, and significant differences were found in comparing 1.5% sevoflurane (left 20.50 μV, 70.71 μV, 135.97 μV, 190.00 μV , right 14.29 μV, 50.71 μV, 73.10 μV, 77.50 μV) with 0.0% sevoflurane (left 143.00 μV, 388.10 μV, 484.53 μV, 500.00 μV, right 176.00 μV, 407.60 μV, 384.35 μV, 451.00 μV) and 0.5% sevoflurane (left 100.00 μV, 362.57 μV, 444.05 μV, 435.00 μV, right 115.00 μV, 207.15 μV, 258.34 μV, 358.50 μV), left χ(2)= 27.46,P<0.01, right χ(2)= 60.49,P<0.01; left χ(2)= 20.73,P<0.01, right χ(2)= 55.05,P<0.01;left χ(2)= 34.25,P<0.01,right χ(2)=33.58,P<0.01;left χ(2)= 28.61,P<0.01 ,right χ(2)= 49.04,P<0.01; while there were no statistical differences in the latency changes (P=0.26). Under each end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, the MEPs amplitude increased following increasing stimulation voltages, and significant differences were found in comparing 300 V (left 143.00 μV, 100.00 μV, 61.50 μV, 20.50 μV , right 176.00 μV, 115.00 μV, 41.07 μV, 14.29 μV) with 400 V (left 388.10 μV, 362.57 μV, 198.81 μV, 70.71 μV, right 407.60 μV, 207.15 μV, 89.00 μV, 50.71 μV) and 500 V (left 484.53 μ V, 444.05 μV, 216.24 μV, 135.97 μV, right 384.35 μV, 258.34 μV, 187.50 μV, 73.10 μV) and 600 V (left 500.00 μV, 435.00 μV, 344.00 μV, 190.00 μV, right 451.00 μV, 385.50 μV, 156.00 μV, 77.50 μV), left χ(2)= 45.55,P<0.01, right χ(2)= 25.73,P<0.01; left χ(2)= 46.67,P<0.01, right χ(2)= 55.30,P<0.01;left χ(2)= 47.36,P<0.01,right χ(2)= 47.82,P<0.01; left χ(2)= 38.67,P<0.01, right χ(2)= 45.87,P<0.01; while the latencies were decreased, and significant differences were found in comparing 300 V with 400 V and 500 V and 600V(left F=7.50,P=0.01 , right F=13.33,P<0.01), but the differences had little clinical significance. The success ratio decreased by increasing end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, and significant differences were found in comparing 1.5% sevoflurane (left 43.8%,70.8%, 77.1%,81.3%, right 37.5%,60.4%,75.0%,66.7%) with 0.0% sevoflurane (left 79.2%,87.5%,95.8%,93.8%, right 75.0%,95.8%,95.8%, 95.8%) and 0.5% sevoflurane (left 72.9%,89.6%,95.8%,95.8%, right 66.7%,89.6%,95.8%, 97.9%); the success ratio increased by increasing stimulation voltage, and significant differences were found in comparing 300 V(left 79.2%,72.9%,62.5%,43.8%, right 75.0%,66.7%,60.4%, 37.5%)with 400 V(left 87.5% ,89.6%,77.1%,70.8% , right 95.8%,89.6%,79.2%,60.4%)and 500 V(left 95.8%,95.8%,91.7%,77.1%, right 95.8%,95.8%,81.3%,75.0%)and 600 V (left 93.8%, 95.8%,89.6%,81.3%, right 95.8%,97.9%,89.6%,66.7%), but there were no statistical differences in the success ratio of MEPs between the group with stimulation voltage of 600 V , end tidal sevoflurane concentration of 1.5% and the group with stimulation voltage of 300 V, end tidal sevoflurane concentration of 0.0% (P=0.22). CONCLUSION Sevoflurane inhibited MEPs in a dose-dependent manner. It can decrease the amplitudes and prolong the latencies. But increasing stimulation voltage will facilitate MEPs monitoring and increase the success ratio. Sevoflurane can be used in larger parts of MEPs monitoring surgery by increasing the stimulation voltage.

Abstract
β-Arrestins are multifunctional proteins originally identified as negative adaptors of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Emerging evidence has also indicated that β-arrestins can activate signaling pathways independent of GPCR activation. This study was to elucidate the role of β-arrestins in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and hypothesized that β-arrestins contribute to diabetic renal injury by mediating podocyte autophagic process. We first found that both β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2 were upregulated in the kidney from streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, diabetic db/db mice and kidney biopsies from diabetic patients. We further revealed that either β-arrestin-1 or β-arrestin-2 deficiency (Arrb1−/− or Arrb2−/−) ameliorated renal injury in diabetic mice. In vitro, we observed that podocytes increased both β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2 expression levels under hyperglycemia condition and further demonstrated that β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2 shared common mechanisms to suppress podocyte autophagy by negative regulation of ATG12–ATG5 conjugation. Collectively, this study for the first time demonstrates that β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2 mediate podocyte autophagic activity, indicating that β-arrestins are critical components of signal transduction pathways that link renal injury to reduce autophagy in DN. Modulation of these pathways may be an innovative therapeutic strategy for treating patients with DN.

BMC Genomics 2016; 17:142.

Abstract
Background Zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) play an important role in regulating plant responses to abiotic stress. However, little is known about the function of LSD1-like-type ZFP in saline-alkaline (SA) stress resistance of rice. In this study, OsLOL5 (GenBank No. AJ620677), containing two LSD1-like-type C2C2 domains, was isolated and analyzed its protection roles in transgenic plants and yeast. OsLOL5 was located in the nucleus as evidenced by the bombardment of onion epidermal cells. Results OsLOL5 expression significantly increased in rice leaves and roots under 150 mmol L-1 NaCl, 30 mM NaHCO3, and 10 mmol L-1 H2O2 treatment, respectively. Overexpression of OsLOL5 in yeast resulted in SA tolerance at significant level. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing OsLOL5 grew well in the presence ofboth NaCl and NaHCO3 treatments, whereas wild-type plants exhibited chlorosis, stunted growth phenotype, and even death. SA stress caused significant changes in the malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in non-transgenic plants compared with those in transgenic lines. Transgenic rice overexpressing OsLOL5 exhibited stronger resistance than NT under NaHCO3 treatment, as demonstrated by its greater shoot length, and fresh weight. The genes associated with oxidative stress, such as OsAPX2, OsCAT, OsCu/Zn-SOD, and OsRGRC2, were significantly upregulated in OsLOL5-overexpressing rice. The results suggested that OsLOL5 improved SA tolerance in plants, and regulated oxidative and salinity stress retardation via the active oxygen detoxification pathway. Conclusions The yeast INVScI bacterium grew significantly better than the control strain under NaCl, NaHCO3, and H2O2 treatments. These findings illustrated that OsLOL5 overexpression enhanced yeast resistance for SA stress through active oxygen species. The present study showed that the OsLOL5 genes involved in the ROS signaling pathways may combine with the model plant Arabidopsis and rice in LDS1-type ZFP by ROS signaling pathways that regulate cell necrosis. We speculated that the OsLOL5 active oxygen scavenging system may have coordinating roles. The present study further revealed that OsLOL5 ZFP could regulate oxidative stress function, but could also provide a basis for salt-resistant rice strains.

Abstract
Based on 2.93 fb^{-1} e^{+}e^{-} collision data taken at center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV by the BESIII detector, we report searches for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D^{+}→ωπ^{+} and D^{0}→ωπ^{0}. A double tag technique is used to measure the absolute branching fractions B(D^{+}→ωπ^{+})=(2.79±0.57±0.16)×10^{-4} and B(D^{0}→ωπ^{0})=(1.17±0.34±0.07)×10^{-4}, with statistical significances of 5.5σ and 4.1σ, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

Abstract
Resistin (RSTN) expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue, and its effect on glucose metabolism in rats with traumatic brain injury, was investigated using real-time PCR, western blots, and enzyme linked immunoassays. Our results show that the expression of RSTN mRNA (3.192 ± 0.046, 4.016 ± 0.010, 6.004 ± 0.020, 8.213 ± 0.013, 11.199 ± 0.174, 15.094 ± 0.030), protein levels (1.79 ± 0.05, 1.98 ± 0.07, 2.75 ± 0.08, 3.19 ± 0.08, 4.25 ± 0.11, 4.48 ± 0.07), levels of serum insulin (512.96 ± 1.21, 580.57 ± 1.52, 769.71 ± 2.22, 826.08 ± 2.03, 1262.25 ± 3.40, 1512.80 ± 3.93), and fasting blood glucose levels (10.277 ± 0.040, 12.776 ± 0.038, 13.403 ± 0.263, 14.698 ± 0.100, 16.637 ± 0.110, 19.416 ± 0.025) were significantly higher in the traumatic rat group compared to the control group (P < 0. 05). Quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) was significantly lower in the traumatic group (-8.570 ± 0.005, -8.912 ± 0.004, -9.241 ± 0.022, -9.404 ± 0.007, -9.952 ± 0.007, -10.288 ± 0.002) than in the control group (-7.633 ± 0.003, -7.639 ± 0.004, -7.637 ± 0.006, -7.643 ± 0.003, -7.636 ± 0.006, -7.634 ± 0.004) (P < 0.05). Single factor linear correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between RSTN expression and QUICKI (-0.983, P < 0.05) in the traumatic group. The increase in RSTN expression in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of rats with traumatic brain injury is likely related to the indexes of glycometabolism, including serum insulin, fasting blood glucose, and QUICKI. Our results lead us to conclude that RSTN may play an important role in the process of insulin resistance in rats with traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of absolute hadronic branching fractions of Λ_{c}^{+} baryon at the Λ_{c}^{+}Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-} production threshold, in the 30 years since the Λ_{c}^{+} discovery. In total, 12 Cabibbo-favored Λ_{c}^{+} hadronic decay modes are analyzed with a double-tag technique, based on a sample of 567 pb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collisions at sqrt[s]=4.599 GeV recorded with the BESIII detector. A global least-squares fitter is utilized to improve the measured precision. Among the measurements for twelve Λ_{c}^{+} decay modes, the branching fraction for Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+} is determined to be (5.84±0.27±0.23)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, the measurements of the branching fractions of the other 11 Cabibbo-favored hadronic decay modes are significantly improved.

Abstract
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid or phenic acid, is a priority pollutant in aquatic ecosystems. The present study has investigated metabolic activities and transcription profiles of cytochrome P450 enzymes in Chironomus kiinensis under phenol stress. Exposure of C. kiinensis larvae to three sublethal doses of phenol (1, 10 and 100 µM) inhibited cytochrome P450 enzyme activity during the 96 h exposure period. The P450 activity measured after the 24 h exposure to phenol stress could be used to assess the level (low or high) of phenol contamination in the environment. To investigate the potential of cytochrome P450 genes as molecular biomarkers to monitor phenol contamination, the cDNA of ten CYP6 genes from the transcriptome of C. kiinensis were identified and sequenced. The open reading frames of the CYP6 genes ranged from 1266 to 1587 bp, encoding deduced polypeptides composed of between 421 and 528 amino acids, with predicted molecular masses from 49.01 to 61.94 kDa and isoelectric points (PI) from 6.01 to 8.89. Among the CYP6 genes, the mRNA expression levels of the CYP6EW3, CYP6EV9, CYP6FV1 and CYP6FV2 genes significantly altered in response to phenol exposure; therefore, these genes could potentially serve as biomarkers in the environment. This study shows that P450 activity combined with one or multiple CYP6 genes could be used to monitor phenol pollution.
