Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the roles and the underlying mechanism of miR-345 in regulating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell migration and invasion. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-two pairs of NSCLC tissues and matched normal lung tissue samples were collected from NSCLC patients who had undergone surgical resection between June 2015 and August 2017 in our hospital. Human NSCLC cell lines (NCI-H460, NCI-H1299, A549 and GLC-82) and normal human bronchial epithelium cell BEAS-2B were cultured. NSCLC cell migration and invasion capacities were determined by transwell assays. The relative protein and mRNA expression level of yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) were detected by Western blot and Quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, respectively. RESULTS MiR-345 was prominently downregulated in NSCLC tissue specimens. Results of transwell assays showed that miR-345 overexpression could dramatically inhibit NSCLC cell migration and invasion. Additionally, data in current study also identified YAP1 as a direct functional target of miR-345 in NSCLC cells. YAP1 expressions were negatively correlated with the miR-345 expressions in NSCLC tissue samples. Moreover, YAP1 was found to be involved in the functions of miR-345 in inhibiting NSCLC cell invasion and migration. CONCLUSIONS All the above results indicated that miR-345 inhibited NSCLC cell migration and invasion by targeting YAP1, suggesting that miR-345/YAP1 axis might be a promising biomarker for NSCLC treatments.

Abstract
Objective To explore the role of ADMA in gastric cancer. Methods The specimens of 115 gastric cancer patients were analyzed by ELISA and survival analysis. Functional assays were used to assess the effects of ADMA on gastric cancer cells. Experiments were conducted to detect the signaling pathway induced by ADMA in GC. Results Gastric cancer patients with high ADMA levels had poor prognosis and low survival rate. Furthermore, high level of ADMA did not affect the proliferation while promoted the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cell. Moreover, ADMA enhanced the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Importantly, ADMA positively regulated β-catenin expression in GC and promoted GC migration and invasion via Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Conclusions ADMA regulates gastric cancer cell migration and invasion via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and which may be applied to clinical practice as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
Rice is the main food for approximately 3.5 billion people worldwide, especially in
Asians, who have consumed more than 90% of the total rice produced. Restructured rice is
another designation of artificial rice is an effort to diversify staple foods processed from
carbohydrate-based raw materials with the addition of certain substances to improve the
quality of staple foods. Restructured rice can be done with several techniques, such as
using extrusion. This study aimed to investigate the effect water content (35%, 37.5%,
40%, 42.5%, and 45%) and temperature (100oC and 26oC) on the surface and
characteristics of restructured rice using a pasta extruder. Results of this study showed the
treatment with water content 40% and temperature 100oC to be the best, more precisely
seen from the results of laser microscope, color, WAI, WSI, WAR, Cooking losses, and
cooking time. Pores and surfaces of restructured rice are almost the same as milled rice.
Water absorption index (WAI) value = 2.273±0.10 g/g, WSI = 2.114±0.11%, WAR =
150.99±0.77%, CL = 1.92±0.10% and cooking time 4 mins. Suggestions for this research
are further studies such as fortification with other ingredients using a pasta extruder
technology and are expected to be implemented and commercialized.

Abstract
Background:The incidence of renal artery stenosis in Takayasu arteritis (TA) was 20%–60% according to previous reports. The specific characteristics of patients with TA-related renal artery stenosis and the effect of revascularization procedures on prognosis have not been fully investigated.Objectives:To investigate the characteristics of patients with TA-related renal artery stenosis and identify the predictors of medium-term adverse outcomes.Methods:Data for 567 patients registered in a large prospective observational cohort-the East China Takayasu arteritis cohort-up to April 30, 2019, were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Renal artery stenosis was confirmed in 172/567 (30.34%) patients, with left renal artery involvement seen in 73/172 (42.44%) patients. Renal insufficiency at presentation (HR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.76-15.83, p = 0.03), bilateral renal artery involvement (HR = 6.95, 95% CI: 1.18-21.55, p = 0.01), and severe (>75%) stenosis (HR = 4.75, 95% CI 1.08-11.33, p = 0.05) were predictors of adverse outcomes. Revascularization was performed for 46/172 (26.74%) patients. Patients without preoperative treatment had higher rate of restenosis (44.44% vs. 15.79%, p < 0.01) and hypertension deterioration (25.93% vs. 10.53%, p < 0.01) after the procedure. Non-receipt of preoperative treatment (HR = 6.5, 95% CI: 1.77-32.98, p = 0.04) and active disease at revascularization (HR = 4.21, 95% CI 2.01-21.44, p = 0.04) were independent predictors of adverse outcomes after revascularization.Conclusion:Patients with uncontrolled or worsening hypertension or/and renal function may benefit from revascularization. Those who have received preoperative treatment may have more favorable revascularization outcomes. Prognosis appears to be poorer for patients with renal insufficiency at presentation, bilateral artery involvement, and severe stenosis.References:[1]Watanabe Y, Miyata T, Tanemoto K.

Abstract
Background:Articular involvement in acute gout attack is extremely common and mainly characterized by arthritis, which are usually transient, severe, reversible and well responsive to treatment. The involvement of tendons and entheses in lower extremity in monosodium urate-related disease through US (ultrasound) assessment have been described1,2. US findings in gout raising the hypothesis that entheseal involvement could be a missing target in the clinical evaluation of gout patients.Objectives:To evaluate by ultrasound (US) the frequency and characteristics of lower extremity entheseal involvement in acute gout attack patients.Methods:US assessment were performed by independent rheumatologist on 31 patients with acute gout attack. Presence of lower extremity entheseal involvement were evaluated by grey-scale (GS) and power Doppler (PD). US assessment contain quadriceps, patellar and Achilles tendons, and plantar fascia entheses according to the OMERACT definitions.Results:US revealed one or more abnormalities in at least one enthesis in 22 out of 31 gout patients (71.0%) and 47 out of 310 entheses (15.2%). Among the affected entheses, the patellar insertion of quadriceps tendon was most commonly involved (57.4%) during acute gout attack, followed by the calcaneal insertion of the Achilles tendon (17.0%) and distal insertion of the patellar tendon (14.9%). The proximal insertion of the patellar tendon and calcaneal insertion of the plantar fascia were involved in 8.5% and 2.1%, respectively. Bone erosions and osteophytes were found in affected entheses (10.6% and 25.5%, respectively).Conclusion:Our study identifies that lower extremity entheseal involvement is a missing target in the evaluation of patients with acute gout attack. US plays a key role in the assessment of both clinical and subclinical enthesitis in gout patients.References:[1]Pineda C, Amezcua-Guerra LM, Solano C, et al.

Abstract
Background:Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic, granulomatous large-vessel vasculitis. It involves the aorta and its main branches predominantly, and leads to vascular thickness, stenosis and occlusion [1]. Besides the aorta and its branches, pulmonary arteries (PAs) are involved in TA. PAs have been reported to be involved in 6.9% to 80% of TA patients from different populations [2-3].Objectives:We investigated the clinical characteristics, pulmonary parenchymal features and cardiac functions in TA patients with PA involvement by combining multiple imaging modalities (MRA, CTA, PET-CT, lung VQ scan, echocardiography and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)). Our aim was to elicit better understanding of TA patients with PA involvement to aid rational treatment for these patients and improve their prognosis.Methods:We enrolled 216 patients with TA from a large prospective cohort. PAI was assessed in each patient based on data from magnetic resonance angiography/computed tomography angiography. Pulmonary hypertension, cardiac function, and pulmonary parenchymal abnormalities were evaluated further in patients with PAI based on echocardiography, New York Heart Association Functional Classification and pulmonary computed tomography, respectively. These abnormalities related to PAI were followed up to evaluate treatment effects.Results:PAI was detected in 56/216 (25.93%) patients, which involved the pulmonary trunk, main PAs and small vessels in the lungs. Among patients with PAI, 28 (50%) patients were accompanied by pulmonary hypertension, which was graded as ‘severe’ in 9 (16.07%), ‘moderate’ in 10 (17.86%) and mild in 9 (16.07%). Forty (71.43%) patients had cardiac insufficiency (IV: 6, 10.71%; III: 20, 35.71%; II: 14, 25.00%). Furthermore, 21 (37.50%) patients presented with abnormal parenchymal features in the area corresponding to PAI (e.g., the mosaic sign, infarction, bronchiectasis). During follow-up, two patients died due to abrupt pulmonary thrombosis. In the remaining patients, the abnormalities mentioned above improved partially after routine treatment.Conclusion:PA involvement is very common in TA patients. Physicians should be alerted to PA involvement even if obvious pulmonary symptoms are absent because they can cause PH, cardiac insufficiency as well as pulmonary parenchymal lesions, which will worsen the prognosis.References:[1]M.L.F.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Mindfulness-based treatment for insomnia (MBTI) is a viable intervention for improving poor sleep. We report preliminary data from an ongoing pre-registered, randomized controlled trial which investigates the effect of MBTI on elderly adults.
Methods
Participants above 50 years old with PSQI ≥ 5 were recruited and randomised into either MBTI or an active control group (Sleep hygiene education and exercise program, SHEEP) in sequential cohorts with about 20 participants per cohort (10 per group). Before and after the intervention, 1 night of portable polysomnography (PSG) and 1 week of actigraphy (ACT) and sleep diary (DIARY) data were collected. We report the ACT and DIARY results of the first 3 cohorts (n = 46, male = 23, mean age = 62.3, std = 6.3) and PSG data of the first 2 cohorts (n = 29, male = 12, mean age = 62.5, std = 5.7). Time in bed (TIB), total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep efficiency (SE) were analysed with mixed-model repeated-measures ANOVA.
Results
We observed increases in TIBDIARY (F1,44 = 5.151, p < .05) and SEDIARY (F1,44 = 22.633, p < .0001), and significant reductions in SOLDIARY (F1,44 = 7.031, p < .05) and WASODIARY (F1,39 = 7.411, p < .05). In the actigraphy data, we found a significant interaction in SOLACT (F1,39 = 4.273, p < .05) with an increase in SHEEP SOLACT (t18= 2.36, p < .05). Significant reductions were also observed in WASOACT (F1,44 = 16.459, p < .0001) Finally, we observed a reduction in SOLPSG (F1,26 = 5.037, p <. 05). All other tests were non-significant.
Conclusion
Preliminary results suggest that both interventions lead to improvements in sleep with more pronounced effects in subjective sleep reports. Objective sleep data suggest that improvements in sleep is a result of improved sleep quality and not simply extending sleep opportunity. These preliminary data shows that MBTI may be a promising intervention for elderly individuals with sleep difficulties.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Poor sleep is a modifiable risk factor for multiple chronic disorders. Mindfulness-based therapies potentially improve sleep by enhancing awareness and acceptance of internal and external experiences, thus reducing pre-sleep hyper-arousal. In this pre-registered, randomized controlled trial, we tested the effect of mindfulness-based treatment for insomnia (MBTI) on subjective sleep quality measures (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, PSQI) in the elderly.
Methods
Participants above 50 years old with sleep difficulties (PSQI ≥ 5) (mean (sd) age = 62.0 (6.35), 44 female) attended either an 8-week MBTI (N = 34) or sleep hygiene education and exercise program (SHEEP; N = 35). Before and after the interventions, we collected PSQI, insomnia symptoms and features measures (Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale, PSAS; Insomnia Severity Index, ISI; Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep, DBAS-30), mindfulness (Five-Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire, FFMQ), and mood and anxiety (Back Depression Inventory, BDI; State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI). PSQI and PSAS (N = 26 to date) were collected at 6-month follow-up. Data were analysed with repeated-measures ANCOVA with group as a between-subject variable for the first 69 participants who completed the study.
Results
We observed significant improvement across both groups for sleep measures (PSQI: F1,67=36.442, p<.01; PSAS-Cognitive: F1,67=12.664, p<.01; ISI: F1,67=36.442, p<.0; DBAS: F1,67=28.749, p<.01) and mood (BDI: F1,67=26.393, p<.01; STAI-State: F1,67=4.608, p=.04; STAI-Trait: F1,67=7.687, p<.01), but not for Mindfulness (F1,67=2.256, p=.14) nor PSAS-somatic. No significant group by time interactions were found. We observed a correlation between PSQI decreases and FFMQ increases in MBTI (r=-.53, p<.01), but not in SHEEP (r=-.07, p=.70) participants. ANCOVA of 6-month PSQI data revealed a significant group by time interaction (F1,24=19.525, p=.03), with reduction from baseline in MBTI (t12=4.769, p<.01), but not in SHEEP group (t12=3.813, p=.08).
Conclusion
Preliminary results support MBTI as an accessible but effective behavioural intervention with potential long-term benefits for improving sleep and mood, and reducing cognitive-emotional arousal in the elderly.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of study is to evaluate the effect and complication of preoperative short-term daily recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) treatment for blood-saving in patients undergoing unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS This three-arm randomized clinical trial compared three different rhEPO-based treatment protocols for unilateral primary TKA. Group A: application of daily doses of rhEPO combined with iron supplement starting 3 days before surgery; Group B: application of daily doses of rhEPO combined with iron supplement starting the day of surgery; Group C: iron supplement alone. Perioperative hemoglobin (Hb) level gaps, total perioperative blood loss, reticulocyte levels and treatment-related complications were studied. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were included (35, 35 and 32 patients in Groups A, B and C, respectively). Total blood loss (TBL) in Groups A, B and C was 490.84, 806.76 and 924.21 ml, respectively. Patients in Group A had a significant lower TBL than Groups B and C (A vs. B: P = 0.010; A vs. C: P < 0.001). There was no difference as for TBL between Groups B and C (P = 0.377). Group A patients had significant smaller Hb decline than Group C on the third and fifth postoperative day (P = 0.049, P = 0.037), as well as than Group B on the fifth postoperative day (P = 0.048). There was no difference as for Hb decline between Groups B and C. No difference was shown in levels of inflammatory biomarkers or blood-saving protocol-related complications among three groups. CONCLUSIONS Daily dose of rhEPO combined with iron supplement administered 3 days before TKA procedures could significantly decrease perioperative blood loss and improve postoperative Hb levels, without significantly elevating risks of complication, when compared with admission of rhEPO on the day of surgery and iron supplement alone. Preoperative daily rhEPO treatment could be a more effective blood-saving protocol in TKA procedures.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of medical staff with novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP). Methods: 30 patients infected with novel coronavirus referred to jianghan university hospital between January 11, 2020 and January 3, 2020 were studied. The data reviewed included those of clinical manifestations, laboratory investigation and Radiographic features. Results: The patients consisted of 10 men and 20 women, including 22 doctors and 8 nurses,aged 21~59 years(mean 35±8 years).They were divided to 26 common type and 4 severe cases, all of whom had close(within 1m) contact with patients infected of novel coronavirus pneumonia. The average contact times were 12 (7,16) and the average cumulative contact time was 2 (1.5,2.7) h.Clinical symptoms of these patients were fever in 23 patients (76.67%) , headache in 16 petients (53.33%) , fatigue or myalgia in 21patients (70%) , nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in 9 petients (30%) , cough in 25 petients (83.33%) , and dyspnea in 14 petients (46.67%) .Routine blood test revealed WBC<4.0×10(9)/L in 8 petients (26.67%) , (4-10) ×10(9)/L in 22 petients (73.33%) , and WBC>4.0×10(9)/L in 4 petients (13.33%) during the disease.Lymphocyte count<1.0×10(9)/L occurred in 12 petients (40%),abnormal liver function in 7 petients (23.33%) ,myocardial damage in 5 petients(16.67%), elevated D-dimer (>0.5mg/l) in 5 patients (16.67%). Compared with normal patients, the average exposure times, cumulative exposure time, BMI, Fever time, white blood cell count, liver enzyme, LDH, myoenzyme and D-dimer were significantly increased in severe patients, while the lymphocyte count and albumin levels in peripheral blood were significantly decreased.Chest CT mainly showed patchy shadows and interstitial changes.According to imaging examination, 11 patients (36.67%) showed Unilateral pneumonia and 19 patients (63.33%) showed bilateral pneumonia,4 patients (13.33%) showed bilateral multiple mottling and ground-glass opacity.Compared with the patients infected in the protected period, the proportion of severe infection and bilateral pneumonia were both increased in the patients infected in unprotected period. Conclusion: Medical staffs are at higher risk of infection.Infection rates are associated with contact time, the amount of suction virus. Severe patients had BMI increased, heating time prolonged, white blood cell count, lymphocyte count, D-dimer and albumin level significantly changed and were prone to be complicated with liver damage and myocardial damage.Strict protection measures is important to prevent infection for medical workers.
