Abstract
Optically pumped rare gas lasers (OPRGLs) have shown great potential to generate high energy laser radiation with high beam quality. As an alternative to the diode-pumped alkali vapor lasers (DPALs), they have similar working principles and characteristics, but OPRGLs have the advantage that the gain medium is chemically inert and is appropriate for closed-cycle operation. One of the challenges OPRGLs are faced with is the bottleneck caused by the slow 1s4-1s5 collisional relaxations at room temperature. A 1s4-2p10 dual-wavelength pump method had been proposed to transfer the populations pooled on the 1s4 level to the lasing cycle using a steady-state laser model. We explored this method further through 1s4-2p8 and 1s4-2p7 dual-wavelength pump schemes. The enhancement efficiencies at room temperature for a repetitively pulsed discharge, CW dual-wavelength pump system were examined using a dynamic model, and an experiment with a pulsed secondary pump was conducted for qualitative evaluations.

Abstract
The strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) open reading frame (ORF) VI encodes a P6 protein known as the RNA silencing suppressor. This protein is known to form inclusion like granules of various sizes and accumulate in both the nuclei and the cytoplasm of SVBV-infected plant cells. In this study, we have determined that the P6 protein is the only trans-activator (TAV) encoded by SVBV, and can efficiently trans-activate the translation of downstream gfp mRNA in a bicistron derived from the SVBV. Furthermore, the P6 protein can trans-activate the expression of different bicistrons expressed by different caulimovirus promoters. The P6 protein encoded by SVBV from an infectious clone can also trans-activate the expression of bicistron. Through protein-protein interaction assays, we determined that the P6 protein could interact with the cell translation initiation factor FveIF3g of Fragaria vesca and co-localize with it in the nuclei of Nicotiana benthamiana cells. This interaction reduced the formation of P6 granules in cells and its trans-activation activity on translation.

Abstract
RNA silencing is a common mechanism that plays a key role in antiviral defense. To overcome host defense responses, plant viruses encode silencing-suppressor proteins to target one or several key steps in the silencing machinery. Here, we report that the P6 protein encoded by Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) is an RNA silencing suppressor through Agrobacterium-mediated co-infiltration assays. SVBV P6 protein can suppress green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene silencing induced by single-stranded RNA but not by double-stranded RNA. The P6 protein can also inhibit systemic silencing of GFP through interfering the systemic spread of GFP silencing signal. Subcellular localization study indicated that P6 protein formed irregular bodies and distributed in both cytoplasm and nucleus of Nicotiana benthamiana cells. Furthermore, deletion analysis indicated that a nuclear localization signal (NLS, aa 402-426) in the P6 protein is responsible for the silencing suppression efficiency. In addition, expression of the P6 protein via a Potato virus X (PVX)-based vectors induced more severe mosaic symptoms in N. benthamiana leaves, and transgenic N. benthamiana plants expressing P6 showed obvious vein yellowing as well as severe mosaic symptoms in leaves. Taken together, our results demonstrates that SVBV P6 is a suppressor of RNA silencing, possibly acting at a upstream step for dsRNA generation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are especially difficult to treat effectively. While only 20-30% of TNBC patients respond to chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting, overall outcome remains poor for non-responding patients. Engaging the immune system promises optimal personalized cancer therapy as mounting evidence suggests that immune-checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies may become a therapeutic option for TNBC patients. The presence of CD8+ T cells, a crucial component of the cytotoxic arm of the adaptive immune response, is associated with good clinical outcome in TNBC patients. Specifically, it is the efficient CD8+ T cell invasion and infiltration in the tumor that is associated with good outcome. On the other hand, some tumors accumulate CD8+ T cells in the tumor-associated stroma with poor infiltration in the tumor epithelium. These patients show poor outcome. As CD8+ T cell infiltration in the tumor is a crucial step to mount an efficient anti-tumor response, we thus wondered how the tumor microenvironment affects CD8+ T cell invasion into the tumor epithelial compartment of the TNBC tumors.
Methods:
To identify potential stroma-dependent mechanisms that potentiate or inhibit CD8+ T cells invasion into the tumor epithelium, we coupled analysis of spatial patterns of CD8+ T cell localization by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) andperformed gene expression profiling of laser-capture microdissected tumor-associated stroma (as well as matched epithelium and bulk tumor) from 38 TNBC chemotherapy-naive primary cases. GSEA-based Metasignatures were derived from bulk tumor gene expression data from our cohort. To investigate the compartment of origin of the pathways identified via the Metasignatures, the (LCM)-derived tumor stromal and epithelial gene expression were analyzed.
Results:
CD8+ T cell quantification in different compartments of the tumor identify 3 main subgroups of TNBC based on CD8+ T cell localization. Importantly we developed a 2-step classification scheme based on CD8+ T cell localization. We developed metasignatures following our 2 steps classification and identified key bulk tumor metasignatures that showed prognostic value in an independent cohort. In addition the matched LCM gene expression from the tumor epithelium and stromal compartments allowed us to identify the compartment of origin.
Importantly, while 1 group of TNBC tumor was showing a significant anti-tumor response, the 2 other groups showed absence of such environment. The 2 non inflamed immune subtypes showed distinct phenotypes and biologies associated with poor anti-tumor response that we validated by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence. These results highlight different potential mecanisms that lead to immune evasion and allow us to stratify TNBC into immune subgroups.

Abstract
Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), defined as tumors lacking expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), are especially difficult to treat effectively. While ER+ and HER2+ breast cancer subtypes can be treated with Tamoxifen and Herceptin, respectively, there are no targeted therapies for TNBC patients. Furthermore, while only 20-30% of TNBC patients respond to chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting, overall outcome remains poor for non-responding patients. However, mounting evidence suggests that immune-checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies may be especially promising for TNBC patients. We and others have shown that the presence of CD8+ T cells, a crucial component of the cytotoxic arm of the adaptive immune response, is a sign of good clinical outcome in TNBC patients. However, good outcome only correlates with CD8 +T cell invasion of the tumor parenchyma. Some patients had an accumulation of CD8+ T cells in the surrounding tumor-associated stroma, but not the tumor epithelia, and these patients responded as poorly as patients with no CD8 T cells at all. Yet how cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the dominant cell type of the tumor-associated stroma, affects CD8+ T cell invasion into the tumor epithelia is still poorly understood. To identify potential stroma-dependent mechanisms which potentiate or inhibit CD8+ T cells invasion into the tumor epithelia, we performed gene expression profiling of laser-capture microdissected tumor-associated stroma (and matched epithelia) from 38 TNBC cases. Here we identify several stromal and epithelial canonical pathways as well as biomarkers that are associated with and may explain the accumulation of CD8 T cells outside of the tumor epithelia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Inter- and intra-tumour heterogeneity underlies variability in therapeutic response. Although targeting of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in breast cancer has failed to demonstrate clinical efficacy at the population level, complete and durable responses have been reported at low frequencies. The molecular determinants of these responses are unknown, but are of importance in the era of precision medicine.
Results: We performed a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) clinical trial with gefitinib in a breast cancer PDX cohort. Consistent with clinical trial data, gefitinib exhibited limited efficacy across most models. One PDX, however, demonstrated a complete and durable (>6 months) clinical response, and was subject to deep molecular profiling to identify determinants of response. Exome sequencing revealed no single nucleotide variants or copy number alterations in EGFR pathway members. EGFR was differentially expressed between the two major cellular subpopulations identified by single-cell RNAseq and this cellular heterogeneity in EGFR expression was validated immunohistochemically. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting of the EGFRhi subpopulation revealed cells with enhanced stem-like properties, including ALDH activity, sphere-forming capacity in vitro, ability to form tumours in vivo and seeding lung micrometastases from orthotopically transplanted tumours. Tumourspheres derived from EGFRhi cells developed into mixed EGFRhi and EGFRlo subpopulations, as did macrometastases, supporting that EGFRhi subpopulation can self-renew and re-populate. Analysis of expressed SNVs in the single-cell RNAseq data, filtered by variants identified from exome sequencing, showed no clonal segregation, supporting a non-clonal origin of the functionally distinct EGFRhi and EGFRlo subpopulations. This EGFR-driven tumour initiating cell program was observed in independent PDX models, some which showed growth inhibition in response to gefitinib.
Conclusions: Using bulk and single-cell genomic profiling, we identified and functionally validated an EGFR-driven tumour-initiating program in a subset of aggressive breast tumours, which may be predictive of gefitinib sensitivity. This contradicts traditional beliefs that good therapeutic targets are homogenously expressed, in that we show that a target displaying intra-tumour heterogeneity can be effective so long that it is expressed in the tumour-initiating population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) is a double-stranded DNA plant virus, which has been found in North America, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Europe and several provinces of China. Infected strawberry plants exhibit mild vein-banding symptoms and chlorosis along the veins. It is one of the most economically important diseases in Asiatic, European and North American strawberry-growing areas. FINDINGS The complete genome of an SVBV Chinese isolate (SVBV-CN) was isolated and cloned from a naturally infected strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa cv. Sachinoka) sample found in Shenyang city of Liaoning province. Sequence analysis revealed a complete genome of 7864 nucleotides (nts) that indicated SVBV-CN was most closely related to SVBV from the United States (SVBV-US) with a sequence similarity of 85.8 %. Two major clades were identified based on phylogenetic analysis of the complete genome sequences of caulimoviruses. SVBV-CN clustered together with SVBV-US, whereas other caulimoviruses formed a separate branch. Agrobacterium-mediated inoculation of Fragaria vesca with an infectious clone of SVBV-CN results in systemic infection with distinct symptoms of yellowing bands along the main leaf veins. This suggests that the SVBV-CN infectious clone can recapitulate the symptoms observed in naturally infected strawberries, and therefore is likely the causal agent of the original disease observed in strawberries. Furthermore, strawberry plants inoculated with the infectious clone using vacuum infiltration developed symptoms with a very high infection rate of 86-100 % in 4-5 weeks post-inoculation. This compares to an infection rate of 20-40 % in 8-9 weeks post-inoculation using syringe-inoculation. CONCLUSIONS The complete nucleotide sequence of SVBV from a naturally infected strawberry was determined. Agroinfiltration of strawberry plants using an infectious clone of SVBV-CN resulted in symptoms typically found in infected strawberries from Shenyang city of Liaoning province in China. This is the first report describing an infectious clone of SVBV-CN, and that vacuum infiltration can be potentially used as a new and highly efficient means for inoculation of strawberry plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) infected with Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) exhibits chlorotic symptoms along the leaf veins. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of strawberry disease caused by SVBV. METHODS We performed the next-generation sequencing (RNA-Seq) study to identify gene expression changes induced by SVBV in woodland strawberry using mock-inoculated plants as a control. RESULTS Using RNA-Seq, we have identified 36,850 unigenes, of which 517 were differentially expressed in the virus-infected plants (DEGs). The unigenes were annotated and classified with Gene Ontology (GO), Clusters of Orthologous Group (COG) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. The KEGG pathway analysis of these genes suggested that strawberry disease caused by SVBV may affect multiple processes including pigment metabolism, photosynthesis and plant-pathogen interactions. CONCLUSIONS Our research provides comprehensive transcriptome information regarding SVBV infection in strawberry.

Abstract
Cyclin B is a regulatory subunit of maturation-promoting factor (MPF), which has a key role in the induction of meiotic maturation of oocytes. MPF has been studied in a wide variety of animal species; however, its expression in crustaceans is poorly characterized. In this study, the complete cDNA sequence of Cyclin B was cloned from the red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, and its spatiotemporal expression profiles were analyzed. Cyclin B cDNA (1779 bp) encoded a 401 amino acid protein with a calculated molecular weight of 45.1 kDa. Quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that Cyclin B mRNA was expressed mainly in the ovarian tissue and that the expression decreased as the ovaries developed. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that the Cyclin B protein relocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus during oogenesis. These findings suggest that Cyclin B plays an important role in gametogenesis and gonad development in C. quadricarinatus.

Abstract
Background: Syndecan-1 (Sdc-1) shedding induced by matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) and additional proteases has an important role in cancer development. However, the impact of Sdc-1 shedding on chemotherapeutic resistance has not been reported. Methods: We examined Sdc-1 shedding in colorectal cancer by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Dot blot, reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry and so on, its impact on chemotherapeutic sensitivity by collagen gel droplet embedded culture-drug sensitivity test (CD-DST) and MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide), and potential mechanisms of action by Dot blot, western blot and immunofluorescence. Results: Sdc-1 shedding was increased in colorectal cancer patients, Sdc-1 serum levels in postoperative patients were lower than in preoperative patients, but still higher than those observed in healthy adults. Patients with high preoperative Sdc-1 serum levels were less responsive to 5-Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Irintecan, Cisplatin or Paclitaxel chemotherapy. Moreover, the disease-free survival of patients with high preoperative Sdc-1 serum levels was significantly poorer. The possible mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer can be attributed to Sdc-1 shedding, which enhances EGFR phosphorylation and downstream signalling. Conclusions: Shed Sdc-1 is involved in chemotherapy resistance via the EGFR pathway in colorectal cancer, and Sdc-1 serum levels could be a new prognostic marker in colorectal cancer.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to investigate the dysregulated biological functions that play important role in the occurrence and development of breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We downloaded the gene expression profile data from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database, including 42 disease samples and 143 adjacent histological normal samples. Significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) was employed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the normal and disease samples. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment analysis was based on Software DAVID, followed by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. TRANSFAC database and HPRD database were employed to construct the transcriptional regulatory network (Tnet) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, respectively. RESULTS We got a total of 1769 genes significantly differentially expressed, including 907 up-regulated genes and 862 down-regulated genes. Functional analysis revealed that hormone-responsive genes are related with the occurrence of cancer. Then, we successfully constructed IDC-specific Tnet and PPI network with DEGs response to hormone and obtained some hub genes, such as FOS and PIK3R1, in these networks. Besides, ten modules were found in these networks. CONCLUSIONS Hormone-responsive genes and modules may play an important role in the occurrence and development of IDC. Based on the findings above, we got a preliminary understand of the occurrence, development and metastasis of the IDC and possibly provided effective information on the biogenesis of IDC.

Abstract
Elevated expression of the integrin-linked kinase (ILK) has been observed in a variety of cancers and has been further correlated with poor clinical outcome. Here, we show that mammary epithelial disruption of ILK results in a profound block in mammary tumor induction. Consistent with these observations, inhibition of ILK function in ErbB2-expressing cells with small molecule inhibitor or RNA interference resulted in profound block in their in vitro invasive properties due to the induction of apoptotic cell death. The rare ILK-deficient tumors that eventually arose overcame this block in tumor induction by an upregulation of ErB3 phosphorylation. These observations provide direct evidence that ILK has a critical role in the initiation phase of ErbB2 tumor induction.

Abstract
Multiple mechanisms of dysregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are observed in human cancers. In addition to gain-of-function, loss of negative regulation also contributes to oncogenic activation of RTKs. Negative regulation of many RTKs involves their internalization and degradation in the lysosome, a process regulated through ubiquitination. RTK oncoproteins activated following chromosomal translocation, are no longer transmembrane proteins, and are predicted to escape lysosomal degradation. To test this, we used the Tpr-Met oncogene, generated following chromosomal translocation of the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (Met). Unlike Met, Tpr-Met is localized in the cytoplasm and also lacks the binding site for Cbl ubiquitin ligases. We determined whether subcellular localization of Tpr-Met, and/or loss of its Cbl-binding site, is important for oncogenic activity. Presence of a Cbl-binding site and ubiquitination of cytosolic Tpr-Met oncoproteins does not alter their transforming activity. In contrast, plasma membrane targeting allows Tpr-Met to enter the endocytic pathway, and Tpr-Met transforming activity as well as protein stability are decreased in a Cbl-dependent manner. We show that transformation by Tpr-Met is in part dependent on its ability to escape normal downregulatory mechanisms. This provides a paradigm for many RTK oncoproteins activated following chromosomal translocation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Local anesthetics containing adrenaline, which often cause cardiovascular side effects, are routinely used in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for the main purpose of hemostasis. The controversies concerning hemodynamic effects of adrenaline in local infiltration are widely discussed, but there is no definite conclusion. A prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was carried out to discover the hemodynamic effects after local infiltration of 1:200,000 adrenaline contained in 2% lidocaine under general anesthesia. STUDY DESIGN Seventy-six adult patients undergoing FESS during general anesthesia were allocated randomly into three groups. Group I patients (n = 26) received 2% lidocaine 2 mL with adrenaline (1:200,000), group II patients (n = 25) received saline 2 mL with adrenaline (1:200,000), and group III patients (control group, n = 25) received saline 2 mL without adrenaline for local infiltration. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and heart rate (HR) were monitored simultaneously; systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were directly measured in radial artery continuously after local infiltration. METHODS SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR were recorded at 10 time points: before infiltration (baseline), 0.5 minutes, 1 minute, 1.5 minutes, 2 minutes, 2.5 minutes, 3 minutes, 3.5 minutes, 4 minute, and 5 minutes after infiltration. RESULTS Significant hemodynamic changes, particularly hypotension (P < .01), after local infiltration were observed in group I and group II compared with the baseline, but not in group III. However, there were no significant hemodynamic changes between group I and group II at the same time points (P > .05). The significant hemodynamic changes lasted no longer than 4 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Lidocaine (2%) or saline with adrenaline (1:200,000) does cause temporary hypotension and other hemodynamic changes during general anesthesia, which last no longer than 4 minutes. The causative mechanism is caused by the effect of adrenaline. This is a preliminary study.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors (PDGFRs) are membrane protein-tyrosine kinases that, upon activation, become tyrosine-phosphorylated and associate with numerous SH2 domain-containing molecules involved in mediating signal transduction. In Rat-2 fibroblasts, we have characterized the phosphorylation of the beta-PDGFR following its activation by PDGF. In contrast to tyrosine phosphorylation, which was transient and returned to near basal levels by 30 min, PDGF-stimulated Ser/Thr phosphorylation of the beta-PDGFR was increased by 5 min and remained elevated after 30 min. In vivo, after 5 min of PDGF stimulation, serine phosphorylation of the beta-PDGFR was greatly reduced by CKI-7, a specific inhibitor of casein kinase I (CKI). In vitro, recombinant CKI-gamma2 phosphorylated the ligand-activated beta-PDGFR on serine residues in a CKI-7-sensitive manner and resulted in a marked inhibition of the receptor's autophosphorylating activity. Furthermore, in Rat-2 fibroblasts, expression of hemagglutinin epitope-tagged active CKI-gamma2 resulted in a dramatic decrease in the tyrosine phosphorylation state of the beta-PDGFR in response to PDGF, consistent with receptor inactivation. Our data suggest that upon PDGF stimulation, CKI-gamma2 is activated and/or translocated in proximity to the beta-PDGFR, whereby it phosphorylates the beta-PDGFR on serine residues and negatively regulates its tyrosine kinase activity, leading to receptor inactivation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the reversal effect of antisense oligodeoxynucleotide on human multidrug-resistant leukemic cell line K562/AO2. METHODS Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AOD) targeting-6 approximately 9 sites of exon 2 in human multidrug resistance gene(mdr-1), one of which is sequence-strict-complied and linked with polyethyleneglycol (PEG) at 5' end (AP, 15 mer), the other lacks nucleotide complied site-1 (AP', 14mer), were synthesized. AP, AP' and verapamil were simultaneously added to human mdr-1-mRNA positive leukemia cell line K562/AO2 and, mdr-1-mRNA and p170 were detected. AS' and AP'were labelled by FITC and designated as ASF' and APF', respectively. In addition, the intracellular concentration of them was detected by FACS. RESULTS AP' significantly enhanced the sensitivity of K562/AO2 to DOX, down-regulated the expression of mdr-1 and MRP-mRNA and p170, elevated the intracellular concentration of the two AOD, while AP had no effect. The uptake of APF' was significantly higher than that of ASF' in K562/AO2, and the fluorescence was observed in the plasma and nuclear of K562/AO2 cells. CONCLUSION (AOD targeting mdr-1 promoted the drug sensitivity of drug-resistant tumor cells. 2 AOD had no cytotoxicity to tumor cells. 5 Low molecule PEG enhanced significantly the uptake of AOD by tumor cells.

Abstract
Haloperidol has recently been found to be metabolized to its pyridinium ion (HP+). This conversion of haloperidol to HP+ appears to be similar to the activation of the dopaminergic neurotoxin N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to N-methyl-4-phenyl pyridinium ion (MPP+). MPP+ is responsible for the damage of striatal dopaminergic neurons induced by MPTP in humans and animals. It seemed sensible to investigate whether or not HP+ might be toxic towards dopaminergic neurons and perhaps associated with some of the residual moto-function side effects of haloperidol. We therefore investigated the neurotoxicity of HP+ toward cultured human dopamine neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) and compared it with that of MPP+. HP+ reduced the viability as measured by MTT and [3H]thymidine incorporation methods in SH-SY5Y cells. Cell membrane integrity is reduced by the treatment of HP+ as measured by intracellular LDH levels. The toxicity was concentration and time dependent. Interestingly, HP+ appeared to be more toxic than MPP+ towards the SH-SY5Y cells in early phase in cultures. The toxicity of MPP+ appear to be progressive and subsequently become more than HP+ with prolonged cultivation. In contrary to MPP+, the toxic effect of HP+ towards a dopamine transporter transfected SK-N-MC cell line is not different from its wild type. This indicates that dopamine uptake system is probably not involved in the cytotoxicity caused by HP+.

Abstract
From 1975 through 1990, 199 patients with limited small cell lung cancer (LSCLC) were subjected to multimodality treatment including surgical resection combined with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in our department. The median postoperative survival time of the 199 patients was 39 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 26%, which was decreased with increase of tumor-stage. In comparison of the survival time of patients in Stage I and those in Stage IIIa, there was a significant difference (P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in survival rate of 3 and 5 years between the patients receiving chemotherapy prior to or after surgical resection. The improvement in survival was documented by surgical resection combined with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for LSCLC. The effect of multimodality treatment is correlated with tumor P-TNM staging, the involvement of lymph node, especially that of the mediastinal lymph node, is a negative factor influencing the prognosis. Surgical resection is an initial management, followed by chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy may be indicated in LSCLC patients of Stage I, Stage II and some Stage IIIa as the cancer can be resected completely.
