Abstract
The common deleterious genetic defects in Holstein cattle include haplotypes 1-6 (HH1-HH6), haplotypes for cholesterol deficiency (HCD), bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD), complex vertebral malformation (CVM) and brachyspina syndrome (BS). Recessive inheritance patterns of these genetic defects permit the carriers to function normally, but homozygous recessive genotypes cause embryo loss or neonatal death. Therefore, rapid detection of the carriers is essential to manage these genetic defects. This study was conducted to develop a single-tube multiplex fluorescent amplification-refractory mutation system (mf-ARMS) PCR method for efficient genotyping of these 10 genetic defects and to compare its efficiency with the kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) genotyping assay. The mf-ARMS PCR method introduced 10 sets of tri-primers optimized with additional mismatches in the 3' end of wild and mutant-specific primers, size differentiation between wild and mutant-specific primers, fluorescent labeling of universal primers, adjustment of annealing temperatures and optimization of primer concentrations. The genotyping of 484 Holstein cows resulted in 16.12% carriers with at least one genetic defect, while no homozygous recessive genotype was detected. This study found carrier frequencies ranging from 0.0% (HH6) to 3.72% (HH3) for individual defects. The mf-ARMS PCR method demonstrated improved detection, time and cost efficiency compared with the KASP method for these defects. Therefore, the application of mf-ARMS PCR for genotyping Holstein cattle is anticipated to decrease the frequency of lethal alleles and limit the transmission of these genetic defects.

Abstract
Lithium batteries have been widely used in our daily lives for their high energy density and long-term stability. However, their safety problems are of paramount concern for consumers, which restricts their scale applications. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) compensate for the defects of liquid leakage and lower ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes, which have attracted a lot of attention. Herein, a 3D interconnected highly porous structural gel electrolyte was prepared with alginate dressing as a host material, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and a commercial liquid electrolyte. With rich polar functional groups and (CH2-CH2-O) segments on the polymer matrix, the transportation of Li+ is faster and uniform; thus, the formations of lithium dendrite were significantly inhibited. The cycle stability of symmetrical Li||Li batteries with modified composite electrolytes (SAA) is greatly improved, and the overpotential remains stable after more than 1000 h. Meanwhile, under the same conditions, the cycle performance of batteries with unmodified electrolytes is inferior and overpotentials are nearly 1 V after 100 h. Additionally, the capacity retention of Li||LiFePO4 with SAA is more than 95% after 200 cycles, while those of the others declined sharply. The alginate dressing-based GPEs can greatly enhance the mechanical and thermal stability of PEO-based GPEs, which provides an environmentally friendly avenue for gel electrolytes' applications in lithium batteries.

Abstract
Follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) has been demonstrated to participate in the pathogenesis of several neurological diseases. The current study informed the role of H3K27 acetylation-induced FSTL1 upregulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our investigation discovered the upregulated FSTL1 expression and enhanced autophagy activity in AD. FSTL1 knockdown successfully attenuated the injuries of Aβ1-42-challenged SH-SY5Y cells through the inhibition of autophagy activity. Besides, FSTL1 deficiency suppresses the inflammatory response and NF-κB signaling in AD. Moreover, it was found that p300 was recruited by transcriptional factor RUNX1 to stimulate the H3K27 acetylation in FSTL1 promoter region, which caused the upregulation of FSTL1 in AD. To summarize, p300 acted as a co-activator of RUNX1 to trigger the activation of FSTL1 in AD, resulting in the exacerbated injuries and inflammatory responses of Aβ1-42-induced SH-SY5Y cells.

Abstract
Ketosis is a common nutritional metabolic disease during the perinatal period in dairy cows. Although various risk factors have been identified, the molecular mechanism underlying ketosis remains elusive. In this study, subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT) was biopsied for transcriptome sequencing on 10 Holstein cows with type II ketosis [blood β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) >1.4 mmol/L; Ket group] and another 10 cows without type II ketosis (BHB ≤1.4 mmol/L; Nket group) at d 10 after calving. Serum concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and BHB, as indicators of excessive fat mobilization and circulating ketone bodies, respectively, were significantly higher in the Ket group than in the Nket group. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBIL), as indicators of liver damage, were higher in the Ket group than in the Nket group. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of the sWAT transcriptome revealed modules significantly correlated with serum BHB, NEFA, AST, TBIL, and total cholesterol. The genes in these modules were enriched in the regulation of the lipid biosynthesis process. Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (NTRK2) was identified as the key hub gene by intramodular connectivity, gene significance, and module membership. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR analyses for these samples, as well as a set of independent samples, validated the downregulation of NTRK2 expression in the sWAT of dairy cows with type II ketosis. NTRK2 encodes tyrosine protein kinase receptor B (TrkB), which is a high-affinity receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor, suggesting that abnormal lipid mobilization in cows with type II ketosis might be associated with impaired central nervous system regulation of adipose tissue metabolism, providing a novel insight into the pathogenesis underlying type II ketosis in dairy cows.

Abstract
We generated 73 transcriptomic data of water buffalo, which were integrated with publicly available data in this species, yielding a large dataset of 355 samples representing 20 major tissue categories. We established a multi-tissue gene expression atlas of water buffalo. Furthermore, by comparing them with 4866 cattle transcriptomic data from the cattle genotype-tissue expression atlas (CattleGTEx), we found that the transcriptomes of the two species exhibited conservation in their overall gene expression patterns, tissue-specific gene expression and house-keeping gene expression. We further identified conserved and divergent expression genes between the two species, with the largest number of differentially expressed genes found in the skin, which may be related to structural and functional differences in the skin of the two species. This work provides a source of functional annotation of the buffalo genome and lays the foundations for future genetic and evolutionary studies in water buffalo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a serious disease caused by infection. Aminophylline has anti-asthma and anti-inflammatory effects. We aimed to explore the safety and effect of aminophylline in sepsis. METHODS We conducted a clinical randomized controlled trial involving 100 patients diagnosed with sepsis within 48 h after intensive care unit (ICU) admission in two sites. All patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard therapy with or without aminophylline. The primary clinical outcome was all-cause mortality at 28 days. RESULTS From September 27, 2018 to February 12, 2020, we screened 277 septic patients and eventually enrolled 100 patients, with 50 assigned to the aminophylline group and 50 to the usual-care group. At 28 days, 7 of 50 patients (14.0%) in the aminophylline group had died, compared with 16 of 50 (32.0%) in the usual-care group ( P = 0.032). Cox regression showed that the aminophylline group had a lower hazard of death (hazard ratio = 0.312, 95% confidence interval: 0.129-0.753). Compared with the usual-care group, patients in the aminophylline group had a longer survival time ( P = 0.039 by the log-rank test). The effects of aminophylline on vasopressor dose, oxygenation index, and sequential organ failure assessment score were time-dependent with treatment. There were no significant differences in total hospitalization days, ICU hospitalization days, and rates of serious adverse events (all P > 0.05). No adverse events were observed in the trial. CONCLUSIONS Aminophylline as an adjunct therapy could significantly reduce the risk of death and prolong the survival time of patients with sepsis. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR.org.cn, ChiCTR1800019173.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and related factors in adults in Anhui province based on the data of Chinese Chronic Diseases and Nutrition Surveillance program (2018) in Anhui. Methods: Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to select participants aged ≥18 years. Moreover, questionnaire survey, body measurements and laboratory tests were conducted. The complex weighting method was used to estimate the prevalence of CKD in residents with different characteristics, and complex sampling data logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis to identify related risk factors. Results: A total of 7 181 participants were included. The overall prevalence of CKD was 11.06% in adults in Anhui, and the prevalence was 12.49% in women and 9.59% in men (P<0.05). The moderate, high and very high risk for CKD progression were 8.66%, 2.02% and 0.38%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR=1.03, 95%CI: 1.00-1.05), BMI (OR=1.05, 95%CI: 1.01-1.09), being woman (OR=1.38,95%CI: 1.22-1.55), hypertension (OR=2.50, 95%CI: 1.76-3.56), diabetes (OR=2.28, 95%CI: 1.51-3.43), dyslipidemia (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.11-1.43) and hyperuricemia (OR=2.16, 95%CI: 1.68-2.78) were risk factors for CKD. Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD in adults in Anhui was relatively high and age, gender, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia were found to be associated with the prevalence of CKD. To prevent CKD and its complications, attention should be paid to the management of related risk factors, including overweight and obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial aneurysms treated with coils have been associated with incomplete occlusion, particularly in large or wide-neck aneurysms. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of the rabbit elastase model in predicting aneurysm recurrence in humans treated with platinum coils. MATERIALS AND METHODS Elastase-induced saccular aneurysms were induced in rabbits and embolized with conventional platinum coils. The recurrence rates of aneurysms were retrospectively analyzed. Morphologic characteristics of aneurysms, angiographic outcomes, and histologic healing were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 28 (15.3%) of 183 aneurysms recurred. The aneurysm recurrence rate observed in this study (15.3%) is similar to those reported in multiple analyses of aneurysm recurrence rates in humans (7%-27%). The rate of recurrence was higher in aneurysms treated without balloon assistance (19/66, 28.8%) compared with those treated with balloon assistance (9/117, 7.7%). Aneurysms treated with balloon-assisted coiling had a lower recurrence rate (OR = 0.17; 95% CI, 0.05-0.47; P = .001) and higher occlusion rate (OR = 6.88; 95% CI, 2.58-20.37; P < .001) compared with those treated without balloon-assisted coiling. In this rabbit elastase-induced aneurysm model, packing density and aneurysm volume were weak predictors of aneurysm recurrence; however, the packing density was a good predictor of the occlusion rate (OR = 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.10; P = .008). CONCLUSIONS The rabbit elastase aneurysm model may mimic aneurysm recurrence rates observed in humans after platinum coil embolization. Moreover, balloon assistance and high packing densities were significant predictors of aneurysm recurrence and occlusion.

Abstract
Endovascular treatment of aneurysms with flow diverters or coiling is sometimes complicated by intraprocedural or postprocedural thrombosis along or within the devices. Thrombus composition and structure associated with such complications may provide insights into mechanisms of thrombus formation and clinical strategies to remove the thrombus. We present a retrospective histopathologic study of 4 patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy due to acute occlusion of either implanted flow diverter devices or along coils during the treatment of intracranial aneurysm.

Abstract
Embryo loss is an important factor affecting fertility in dairy production. HH2 was identified as a haplotype on chromosome 1 associated with embryonic lethality in Holstein cattle. In the current study, both short- and long-read WGS was performed on four carriers and four non-carriers of HH2 to screen for variants in concordance with HH2 haplotype status. Sequence variation analysis revealed five putative functional variants of protein-coding genes, including a frameshift mutation (g.107172616delT) in intraflagellar transport protein 80 (IFT80) gene. Transcriptome analysis of whole blood indicated that no gene exhibited significantly differential expression or allele-specific expression between carriers and non-carriers in the candidate region. This evidence points to g.107172616delT as the highest priority causative mutation for HH2. Protein prediction reveals that the frameshift mutation results in a premature stop codon to reduce the peptide chain from 760 to 383 amino acids and greatly alters the structure and function of IFT80 protein. Our results demonstrate that the use of a combination of multiple high-throughput sequencing technologies is an efficient strategy to screen for the candidate causative mutations responsible for Mendelian traits, including genetic disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of using pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) to evaluate the condition of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the Lijiang region. METHODS Patients with ARDS who visited the department of emergency of People's Hospital of Lijiang from August to December 2020 were selected as study subjects. Patients were divided by severity into mild ARDS group [200 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) ≤ oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2, P/F) ≤ 300 mmHg] and moderate to severe ARDS group (P/F ≤ 200 mmHg). The general condition, clinical diagnosis, arterial blood gas analysis results of the patients were recorded, and the differences of the above indexes between the two groups of ARDS were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between SpO2 and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). SpO2 was carried into the Ellis equation and the Rice equation to calculate the derived P/F and analyze the correlation between the derived P/F and the P/F measured in arterial blood gas analysis; receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curves) were plotted, the sensitivity and specificity of SpO2/fraction of inspiration oxygen (SpO2/FiO2, S/F) instead of P/F to assess oxygenation in patients with ARDS was calculated. To evaluate the feasibility of SpO2 for the condition evaluation of patients with ARDS in the Lijiang region. RESULTS Compared with the mild ARDS group, the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), SaO2 and hemoglobin (Hb) were significantly decreased in the moderate to severe ARDS group [PaO2 (mmHg): 50.5 (39.3, 56.5) vs. 60.0 (55.0, 67.5), SaO2: 0.86 (0.73, 0.91) vs. 0. 93 (0.90, 0.96), Hb (g/L): 142±27 vs. 156±24, respectively, all P < 0.05]. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between SpO2 and SaO2 in ARDS patients residing at high altitude (R = 0.650, P = 0.000). The P/F derived by the Rice formula was significantly and positively correlated with the P/F derived from arterial blood gas analysis (R = 0.802, P = 0.000). The deduced P/F in mild and moderate to severe ARDS groups were all significantly correlated with the measured P/F (R values were 0.562, 0.647, both P = 0.000). The P/F derived using the Ellis formula showed a significant positive correlation with the P/F derived from arterial blood gas analysis (R = 0.822, P = 0.000). The deduced P/F of mild ARDS group and moderate to severe ARDS group were all positively correlated with the measured P/F (R values were 0.556, 0.589, P values were 0.000, 0.010). There was a significant positive correlation between S/F and P/F in ARDS patients (R = 0.828, P = 0.000), and the regression equation was S/F = 1.33 P/F+52.41. ROC curve analysis showed that S/F had some predictive value for patients with mild and moderate to severe ARDS, and area under ROC curve (AUC) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were 0.903 (0.829-0.977), 0.936 (0.870-1.000), both P = 0.000. When the cut-off value was 452 mmHg, S/F had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 80.9% for predicting mild ARDS. When the cut-off value was 319 mmHg, S/F predicted moderate to severe ARDS with 95.1% sensitivity and 86.2% specificity. CONCLUSIONS At high altitude, SpO2 and SaO2 have been correlated in patients with ARDS, and P/F derived using SpO2 and measured P/F were significantly correlated in patients with ARDS, especially in those with moderate to severe ARDS. SpO2 may be useful in the assessment of severity of illness in patients with ARDS at high altitude.

Abstract
High-performance electrode modification materials play a crucial role in improving the sensitivity of sensor detection in electrochemical determination of heavy metals. In this study, a rGO/MoS2/CS nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was used to construct a sensitive sensor for detecting lead ions in tobacco leaves. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used to increase the conductivity of the sensor, and the nano-flowered MoS2 could provide a large reaction specific surface area and a certain active site for heavy metal reaction. Chitosan (CS) was used to improve the enrichment ability of heavy metals and increase the electrocatalytic activity of electrode. Thus, an electrochemical sensor with excellent performance in reproducibility, stability and anti-interference ability was established. The stripping behavior of Pb(ii) and the application conditions of the sensor were studied by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The investigation indicated that the sensor exhibited high detection sensitivity in the range of 0.005-0.05-2.0 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0016 μM. This work can provide a fast and effective method for determination of Pb(ii) in samples with low content, such as tobacco leaves.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate and evaluate if pulse oxygen saturation/fraction of inhaled oxygen (SpO2/FiO2) can be used, as replacement of arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inhaled oxygen (PaO2/FiO2), to assess oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province, and to find a rapid and non-invasive method for the diagnosis of ARDS at different altitudes. METHODS Patients with ARDS at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province from January 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups according to different altitudes, and received different oxygen therapies according to their respective medical conditions. Group 1 consisted of patients with moderate to severe ARDS from the department of critical care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (average altitude approximately 1 800 m), and received mechanical ventilation to maintain SpO2 of 0.90-0.96 with a low FiO2 for more than 30 minutes, and SpO2, FiO2, PaO2 were recorded. Group 2 consisted of patients with moderate to severe ARDS at the department of critical care medicine of People's Hospital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (mean altitude about 3 200 m), and received oxygen with an attached reservoir mask to maintain SpO2 of 0.90-0.96 for 10 minutes, and then SpO2, FiO2, and PaO2 were recorded. Group 3 consisted of patients with mild to moderate-severe ARDS who admitted to the emergency department of the People's Hospital of Lijiang (average altitude approximately 2 200 m); when SpO2 < 0.90, patients received oxygen with the oxygen storage mask, and the FiO2 required to maintain SpO2 ≥ 0.90 was recorded, and SpO2, FiO2, PaO2 were recorded after oxygen inhalation for 10 minutes. Spearman coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between SpO2/FiO2 and PaO2/FiO2 in each group. Linear analysis was used to derive the linear equation between SpO2/FiO2 and PaO2/FiO2, and to evaluate arterial pH, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), FiO2, tidal volume (VT), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and other related factors which would change the correlation between SpO2/FiO2 and PaO2/FiO2. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of using SpO2/FiO2 instead of PaO2/FiO2 to assess oxygenation of ARDS patients. RESULTS Group 1 consisted of 24 ARDS patients from whom 271 blood gas analysis results were collected; group 2 consisted of 14 ARDS patients from whom a total of 47 blood gas analysis results were collected; group 3 consisted of 76 ARDS patients, and a total of 76 blood gas analysis results were collected. The PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) in groups 1, 2 and 3 were 103 (79, 130), 168 (98, 195) and 232 (146, 271) respectively, while SpO2/FiO2 were 157 (128, 190), 419 (190, 445) and 319 (228, 446) respectively. Among the three groups, patients in group 1 had the lowest PaO2/FiO2 and SpO2/FiO2, while patients in group 3 had the highest. Spearman correlation analysis showed that PaO2/FiO2 was highly correlated with SpO2/FiO2 in groups 1, 2 and 3 (r values were 0.830, 0.951, 0.828, all P < 0.05). Regression equation was fitted according to linear analysis: in group 1 SpO2/FiO2 = 58+0.97×PaO2/FiO2 (R2 = 0.548, P < 0.001); in group 2 SpO2/FiO2 = 6+2.13×PaO2/FiO2 (R2 = 0.938, P < 0.001); in group 3 SpO2/FiO2 = 53+1.33×PaO2/FiO2 (R2 = 0.828, P < 0.001). Further analysis revealed that PEEP, FiO2, and arterial blood pH could affect the correlation between SpO2/FiO2 and PaO2/FiO2. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.848 and 0.916 in group 1 with moderate to severe ARDS; based on the regression equation, the corresponding SpO2/FiO2 cut-off values at a PaO2/FiO2 of 100 mmHg and 200 mmHg were 155, 252 with a sensitivity of 84.9% and 100%, specificity of 87.2% and 70.6%, respectively. Patients with moderate to severe ARDS in group 2 (AUC was 0.945 and 0.977), the corresponding SpO2/FiO2 cut-off values at PaO2/FiO2 of 100 mmHg and 200 mmHg were 219 and 432 with the sensitivity of 100% and 85.2%, specificity of 82.5% and 100%, respectively. Patients with mild to moderate-severe ARDS in group 3 (AUC was 0.903 and 0.936), the corresponding SpO2/FiO2 cut-off values at a PaO2/FiO2 of 200 mmHg and 300 mmHg were 319 and 452 with the sensitivity of 100% and 100%, specificity of 80.9% and 86.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SpO2/FiO2 and PaO2/FiO2 in ARDS patients at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province have a good correlation, and non-invasive SpO2/FiO2 can be used to replace PaO2/FiO2 to assess the oxygenation in ARDS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hydrophilic polymers and polytetrafluoroethylene liners, commonly used in the construction of endovascular devices, occasionally separate from devices with subsequent embolization. We determined the frequency of such materials in thrombus specimens retrieved by mechanical thrombectomy in patients with stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed H&E-stained thrombus sections for presence and types of foreign materials. We identified 4 types of foreign materials-Type I: material was light green with refraction and had a homogeneous texture; type II: material was light gray and/or dark gray, thin, and loose or attenuated in texture; type III: material was light green with refraction, solitary in texture, irregular in shape, and was often associated with round or oval bubblelike particles and/or diffuse black particles; and type IV: material had homogeneous texture and was light pink or red. In addition, polymer materials from different layers of used mechanical thrombectomy catheters were compared with the foreign materials found in thrombus specimens. RESULTS A total of 101 thrombi were evaluated. Foreign materials were found in 53 (52.5%) thrombus samples. The most common type was type I (92%), followed by type II (30%). The histopathologic features of the polymer materials from mechanical thrombectomy catheters were similar to the foreign materials found in thrombus specimens. The inner polytetrafluoroethylene liner and coating layer of catheters resembled type I and type II of the foreign materials, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Foreign polymer materials are present in approximately half of retrieved thrombi, most commonly polytetrafluoroethylene from catheter liners and less from hydrophilic coatings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical features of adult patients with extremely elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, ESR ≥ 100 mm/1 h), so as improve the ability of clinicians to use erythrocyte sedimentation rate to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted to examine the clinical data of patients with ESR ≥ 100 mm/1 h admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 1st 2019 to December 31st 2019. The age, gender, clinical diagnosis, first ESR level after admission, blood routine, liver function, renal function, coagulation function and C-reactive protein (CRP) within 24 hours after admission were collected. Patient cohorts were divided into youth group (18-65 years old), middle-aged group (66-79 years old) and elderly group (≥ 80 years old) according to the new standards of human age classification of World Health Organization (WHO) 2019. Patient cohorts were also divided into infectious disease group, hematological disease group, autoimmune disease group, renal failure group and others according to their respective clinical diagnosis. The distribution of extremely elevated ESR in each group, and the correlation between ESR and various laboratory indicators were analyzed. RESULTS (1) Among 429 patients with ESR ≥ 100 mm/1 h, there were 236 males and 193 females. There was no significant difference in ESR levels between males and females [mm/1 h: 108.00 (103.00, 119.75) vs. 117.00 (105.50, 140.00), P = 0.234]. (2) The age of 429 patients ranged from 18 to 98 years old, the average age was (53.70±18.70) years old. There were 310 cases in the youth group, 87 cases in the middle-aged group and 32 cases in the elderly group. The ESR level of the young group was significantly lower than that of the middle-aged group and the elderly group [mm/1 h: 108.00 (103.00, 120.00) vs. 119.00 (107.00, 140.00), 120.00 (110.25, 140.00), both P < 0.01]. (3) The main diagnoses associated with extremely elevated ESR were infectious diseases [157 cases (36.6%)], hematological system diseases [127 cases (29.6%)], autoimmune diseases [74 cases (17.2%)]. Pulmonary infection accounted for 58.0% (91/157) of infectious diseases. Hematopoietic stem cell diseases accounted for 45.7% (58/127), lymphocyte and plasma cell diseases accounted for [37.0% (47/127)] and erythrocyte diseases accounted for [11.0% (14/127)] of the hematological system diseases. Diffuse connective tissue diseases accounted for 75.7% (56/74) of autoimmune diseases. (4) Spearman correlation analysis showed that the extremely elevated ESR in all patients was significantly negatively correlated with the levels of red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (HB) and hematocrit (HCT) (ρ value was -0.395, -0.381 and -0.383, respectively, all P < 0.01), the ESR was significantly positively correlated with the level of fibrinogen (FIB; ρ = 0.345, P < 0.01). A total of 266 patients were tested for both ESR and CRP, and there was no significantly correlation between ESR and CRP level (ρ = -0.019, P = 0.756). CONCLUSIONS The extremely elevated ESR was more common in pulmonary infections diseases, hematopoietic stem cell diseases, lymphocyte and plasma cell diseases, erythrocyte diseases and diffuse connective tissue diseases. The extremely elevated ESR was significantly correlated with the levels of RBC, HB, HCT and FIB.

Abstract
Objective: Based on the data of the baseline survey of hypertension and sodium intake monitoring in Anhui province in 2019, the salt intake in adult residents was estimated. Methods: Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to select participants aged 18-69 years, questionnaire survey and related measurements were conducted. Salt intake in participants with different characteristics were estimated with complex sample and linearization of Taylor series based on design and the correlation between salt intake and blood pressure, waist circumference and BMI were tested by linear regression. Results: A total of 1 500 participants were included. The overall salt intake was 9.14 g/d, which was 9.84 g/d in men and 8.47 g/d in women (P<0.05). The differences in salt intake across different subgroups were significant (P<0.05). Univariate linear regression analysis showed that salt intake was positively correlated with SBP, DBP, waist circumference and BMI (P<0.05), while multivariate linear regression analysis (adjusted for other factors) only showed a positive correlation between salt intake and BMI (β=0.053,95%CI: 0.028-0.078, P<0.05). Conclusion: The dietary salt intake in adult residents in Anhui was higher than WHO recommendation, suggesting that public health education need to be taken to reduce salt intake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have successfully created blood clot analogs for in vitro endovascular device testing using animal blood of various species. Blood components vary greatly among species; therefore, creating clot analogs from human blood is likely a more accurate representation of thrombi formed in the human vasculature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following approval from the Mayo Clinic institutional review board, human whole-blood and platelet donations were obtained from the blood transfusion service. Twelve clot analogs were created by combining different ratios of red blood cells + buffy coat, plasma, and platelets. Thrombin and calcium chloride were added to stimulate coagulation. Clot composition was assessed using histologic and immunohistochemical staining. To assess the similarities of mechanical properties to patient clots, 3 types of clot analogs (soft, elastic, and stiff) were selected for in vitro thrombectomy testing. RESULTS The range of histopathologic compositions produced is representative of clots removed during thrombectomy procedures. The red blood cell composition ranged from 8.9% to 91.4%, and fibrin composition ranged from 3.1% to 53.4%. Platelets (CD42b) and von Willebrand Factor ranged from 0.5% to 47.1% and 1.0% to 63.4%, respectively. The soft clots had the highest first-pass effect and successful revascularization rates followed by the elastic and stiff clots. Distal embolization events were observed when clot ingestion could not be achieved, requiring device pullback. The incidence rate of distal embolization was the highest for the stiff clots due to the weak clot/device integration. CONCLUSIONS Red blood cell-rich, fibrin-rich, and platelet-rich clot analogs that mimic clots retrieved from patients with acute ischemic stroke were created in vitro. Differing retrieval outcomes were confirmed using in vitro thrombectomy testing in a subset of clots.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While WEB devices have been shown to be safe and effective for aneurysm treatment, WEB-shape modification compression has been associated with incomplete aneurysm occlusion. We explored the relationship between occlusion rates and WEB-shape modification in different WEB device types in an experimental aneurysm model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Elastase-induced aneurysms were created in rabbits and treated with dual-layer (n = 12), single-layer (n = 12), or single-layer sphere (n = 12) WEB devices. Aneurysms were followed up either at 3 or 12 months. Angiographic occlusion was graded using the WEB Occlusion Scale: grade I, complete; grade II, complete but recess filling; grade III, residual neck; or grade IV, residual aneurysm. WEB-shape modification and histologic features were also analyzed. RESULTS Grade I or II occlusion was seen in 16 (44%) aneurysms, and grade I, II, or III ("adequate") occlusion was observed in 22 (61.1%) aneurysms at follow-up. WEB-shape modification was observed in 22 (61.1%) aneurysms. WEB-shape modification was higher in single-layer (9/12) and dual-layer (10/12) devices compared with single-layer sphere devices (3/12). Aneurysms with WEB-shape modification had a higher level of thrombus organization in the dome compared with those without WEB-shape modification (68% [15/22] versus 50% [7/14]). WEB-shape modification was not correlated with angiographic or histologic outcomes but was significantly correlated with levels of fibrosis and smooth muscle cells in the aneurysm. CONCLUSIONS WEB-shape modification is not associated with incomplete aneurysm occlusion of WEB devices in the rabbit model but may be related to connective tissue formation and the healing response to WEB device implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rupture of brain aneurysms is associated with high fatality and morbidity rates. Through remodeling of the collagen matrix, many aneurysms can remain unruptured for decades, despite an enlarging and evolving geometry. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to explore this adaptive remodeling for the first time in an elastase induced aneurysm model in rabbits. METHODS Saccular aneurysms were created in 22 New Zealand white rabbits and remodeling was assessed in tissue harvested 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after creation. RESULTS The intramural principal stress ratio doubled after aneurysm creation due to increased longitudinal loads, triggering a remodeling response. A distinct wall layer with multi-directional collagen fibers developed between the media and adventitia as early as 2 weeks, and in all cases by 4 weeks with an average thickness of 50.6 ± 14.3 μm. Collagen fibers in this layer were multi-directional (AI = 0.56 ± 0.15) with low tortuosity (1.08 ± 0.02) compared with adjacent circumferentially aligned medial fibers (AI = 0.78 ± 0.12) and highly tortuous adventitial fibers (1.22 ± 0.03). A second phase of remodeling replaced circumferentially aligned fibers in the inner media with longitudinal fibers. A structurally motivated constitutive model with both remodeling modes was introduced along with methodology for determining material parameters from mechanical testing and multiphoton imaging. CONCLUSIONS A new mechanism was identified by which aneurysm walls can rapidly adapt to changes in load, ensuring the structural integrity of the aneurysm until a slower process of medial reorganization occurs. The rabbit model can be used to evaluate therapies to increase aneurysm wall stability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common head and neck tumors with high incidence and mortality. Long noncoding RNA bladder cancer-associated transcript 1 (lncRNA BLACAT1) was involved in several cancers development. However, the roles of BLACAT1 in OSCC have not been investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expressions of BLACAT1 and miR-142-5p in OSCC cells were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. Cell migration and invasion were evaluated by transwell migration assay and transwell invasion assay, respectively. The protein levels of CyclinD1, p21, p27, MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-14 were detected by Western blot analysis. The interaction of BLACAT1 and miR-142-5p was verified by luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS The expression of BLACAT1 was increased and the expression of miR-142-5p was decreased in OSCC cells. The knockdown of BLACAT1 suppressed the viability, migration and invasion of OSCC cells. miR-142-5p was identified as a target of BLACAT1 and BLACAT1 overexpression suppressed miR-142-5p expression. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-142-5p showed similar effects on OSCC cells viability, migration and invasion with BLACAT1 knockdown, and inhibition of miR-142-5p restored the effects of BLACAT1 knockdown OSCC cells viability, migration and invasion. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA BLACAT1 knockdown suppressed the viability, migration and invasion of OSCC cells by sponging miR-142-5p, indicating that BLACAT1 might be a novel target for the treatment of OSCC.

Abstract
Because of their high reversible capacity and wide operation voltage window, P2-type layered transition metal oxides are considered as one type of potential cathode candidate for sodium-ion batteries. However, they still suffer from low kinetics, phase degeneration, and ambiguous mechanism of Na+ diffusion. Here, we synthesized a P2-type Na0.6Li0.07Mn0.66Co0.17Ni0.17O2 with a high Na+ diffusion performance by sintering a nanoplate-structural precursor with alkali metal salt and proposed a possible mechanism for improving Na+ diffusion. The as-prepared P2-type layered oxide presents a quasi-hexagon shape and demonstrates a discharge capacity of 87 mAh g-1 at a current density of 875 mA g-1 (5 C rate), twice that of the sample synthesized from a non-nanoplate particle precursor. Rietveld refinement and results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal the probable mechanism that the expanded interplanar spacing along the c-axis orientation would facilitate Na+ diffusion during Na+ intercalation/deintercalation processes, and the expanded interplanar spacing may arise from a high oxidation state of transition metal ions.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between smoking status and the onset age of stomach cancer patients and estimate the patients' direct medical cost burden of stomach cancer due to smoking in Anhui province. Methods: The information about the primary stomach cancer patients and their direct treatment expenditures in 10 cancer-registered areas in Anhui were collected in 2017. The association between smoking status and the age of onset of stomach cancer patients was analyzed by univariate regression and multivariate logistic regression models. The median and smoking-attributed risk method was used to describe the direct treatment expenditure of stomach cancer patients in Anhui due to smoking. Results: A total of 736 patients with stomach cancer were analyzed in this study. Univariate regression analysis showed that rural household registration (t=2.091, P=0.037), smoking (t=-2.357, P=0.001 9) and alcohol consumption (t=-2.036, P=0.042) were related to the age of onset of stomach cancer. After adjusting for gender, alcohol consumption, body mass index and household registration type, the risk of early stomach cancer in people who quitted smoking cessation was lower than that in smokers (OR=0.36, 95%CI: 0.17-0.75). The total direct medical cost burden of 736 newly diagnosed stomach cancer patients was 6.939 6 million RMB. The direct medical expenditure in stomach cancer patients who had smoking behavior was higher than that in stomach cancer patients who quitted smoking and never smoked. Conclusions: Smoking is one of the risk factors for the earlier onset of stomach cancer in Anhui. It is necessary to strengthen tobacco control to reduce the economic burden of patients with stomach cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical feature of adult patients with infection-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (IAHS), and to improve the ability of clinicians to diagnose and treat IAHS. METHODS A retrospectively study was performed. The clinical data of 32 adult patients with IAHS admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from July 2014 to November 2019 were analyzed. The general data, clinical manifestations, laboratory results, imaging findings, pathogen and clinical outcomes were collected, and the patients were divided into survival group and death group according to the 28-day prognosis. The clinical data between the two groups were compared, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the variables with statistical significance in univariate analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of variables with statistical significance in univariate analysis for 28-day prognosis of adult patients with IAHS. RESULTS Among 32 adult patients with IAHS, there were 17 males (53.1%) and 15 females (46.9%). Eighteen patients were bacterial infection, most of which were Acinetobacter baumannii and Escherichia coli; 14 patients were viral infection, mainly EB virus; and the overall 28-day mortality was 62.5% (20/32). (1) Compared with the survival group (n = 12), the levels of white blood cell (WBC), neutrocyte (NEU), lymphocyte (LYM), platelet (PLT) and oxygenation index (OI) in the death group (n = 20) were lower, while the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), K+, serum ferritin (SF) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were higher [WBC (×109/L): 3.90±3.36 vs. 9.57±6.48, NEU (×109/L): 2.69±2.09 vs. 7.01±6.34, LYM (×109/L): 0.36 (0.23, 0.84) vs. 1.24 (0.61, 2.36), PLT (×109/L): 51.15±27.60 vs. 108.42±80.26, OI (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 134.0 (77.5, 192.0) vs. 292.0 (187.0, 329.0), AST (U/L): 254.00 (67.80, 452.50) vs. 85.50 (38.38, 111.25), K+ (mmol/L): 4.06 (3.65, 4.51) vs. 3.52 (3.26, 3.76), SF (μg/L): 6 290.0 (1 851.0, 13 904.8) vs. 1 777.1 (1 228.5, 3 486.3), LDH (μmol×s-1×L-1): 19.3 (11.9, 27.0) vs. 9.8 (6.9, 11.1), all P < 0.05]. In death group, duration of having a fever after admission was prolonged [days: 13.5 (9.0, 17.2) vs. 6.0 (2.5, 8.0), P < 0.05] and the incidence of cyanosis was higher (40.0% vs. 0%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in other indicators between the two groups. (2) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that low OI combined with high LDH were risk factors for 28-day mortality of adult patients with IAHS [odds ratio (OR) was 0.967 and 1.007, respectively, both P < 0.05]. (3) It was shown by ROC curve analysis that WBC, NEU, AST, SF, LDH and OI had predictive value for 28-day prognosis of adult patients with IAHS (both P < 0.05), and the area under ROC curve (AUC) of OI and LDH was higher, that was both 0.847. When the best cut-off of OI was 145.5 mmHg, the sensitivity was 63.2%, and the specificity was 100%. When the best cut-off of LDH was 13.4 μmol×s-1×L-1, the sensitivity was 72.2%, and the specificity was 91.7%. CONCLUSIONS OI < 145.5 mmHg, and LDH > 13.4 μmol×s-1×L-1 were significant predictors for poor 28-day prognosis of adult patients with IAHS.

Abstract
Background Ketosis is a common metabolic disease during the transition period in dairy cattle, resulting in long-term economic loss to the dairy industry worldwide. While genetic selection of resistance to ketosis has been adopted by many countries, the genetic and biological basis underlying ketosis is poorly understood. Results We collected a total of 24 blood samples from 12 Holstein cows, including 4 healthy and 8 ketosis-diagnosed ones, before (2 weeks) and after (5 days) calving, respectively. We then generated RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) data and seven blood biochemical indicators (bio-indicators) from leukocytes and plasma in each of these samples, respectively. By employing a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we detected that 4 out of 16 gene-modules, which were significantly engaged in lipid metabolism and immune responses, were transcriptionally (FDR < 0.05) correlated with postpartum ketosis and several bio-indicators (e.g., high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein). By conducting genome-wide association signal (GWAS) enrichment analysis among six common health traits (ketosis, mastitis, displaced abomasum, metritis, hypocalcemia and livability), we found that 4 out of 16 modules were genetically (FDR < 0.05) associated with ketosis, among which three were correlated with postpartum ketosis based on WGCNA. We further identified five candidate genes for ketosis, including GRINA, MAF1, MAFA, C14H8orf82 and RECQL4. Our phenome-wide association analysis (Phe-WAS) demonstrated that human orthologues of these candidate genes were also significantly associated with many metabolic, endocrine, and immune traits in humans. For instance, MAFA, which is involved in insulin secretion, glucose response, and transcriptional regulation, showed a significantly higher association with metabolic and endocrine traits compared to other types of traits in humans. Conclusions In summary, our study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanism underlying ketosis in cattle, and highlights that an integrative analysis of omics data and cross-species mapping are promising for illustrating the genetic architecture underpinning complex traits.

Abstract
Objective: Based on the data of chronic diseases and nutrition surveillance among Chinese adults in 2015, dyslipidemia and related factors were analyzed. Methods: Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to select participants who were aged 18 and over, with questionnaire survey and related measurements conducted. Prevalence rates of dyslipidemia among participants by different characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed, using the method of complex weighting and post-weighted stratification. Results: In all, 7 404 participants were included. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 30.5% among the adults. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia were 36.5% in males and 24.4% in females (P<0.05). The prevalence rates of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high LDL-C, and low HDL-C were 3.7%, 12.2%, 5.3%, and 19.4%, respectively. Results from the multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that age (OR=1.009, 95%CI: 1.000-1.018), female (OR=0.501, 95%CI: 0.397-0.632), College degree or above (OR=1.728, 95%CI: 1.257-2.374), alcohol consumption 3 (OR=0.711, 95%CI: 0.536-0.943), central obesity (OR=1.868, 95%CI: 1.547-2.257), BMI (OR=1.141, 95%CI: 1.098-1.186), hypertension (OR=1.259, 95%CI: 1.077-1.473) and diabetes (OR=2.025, 95%CI: 1.446-2.835) were influencing factors on dyslipidemia. Conclusions: The prevalence of dyslipidemia seemed high among adults in Anhui. Risk factors should be closely monitored and under control, including those people with unhealthy lifestyles or being overweight, obesity, hypertensive and diabetic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of difference between hematocrit and albumin (HCT-ALB) to evaluate the severity in patients with severe scrub typhus (Tsutsugamushi disease). METHODS The clinical data of 408 patients with scrub typhus in 37 hospitals located in 15 prefectures of Yunnan Province from January 1st, 2017 to December 31st, 2018 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into the non-severe scrub typhus disease group (n = 265) and the severe scrub typhus disease group (n = 143) according to the diagnostic criteria. Volunteers attending Kunming City Medical Center in Yunnan Province for routine physical examination were enrolled as healthy control group (n = 230). HCT, ALB, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), uric acid (UA), and acute physiology and chronic health evaluations II (APACHE II) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) within 24 hours after admission were collected. HCT-ALB difference was calculated. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between HCT-ALB difference and LDH, UA, APACHE II and SOFA scores in patients with severe scrub typhus disease; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of HCT-ALB difference in the diagnosis of severe scrub typhus disease. RESULTS (1) There was no significant difference in gender composition between patients with non-severe scrub typhus disease group and severe scrub typhus disease group, but the age of the severe scrub typhus disease group was significantly higher than that of the non-severe scrub typhus disease group (years old: 53.57±15.23 vs. 35.03±23.47, P < 0.01). (2) Compared with the healthy control group, the HCT, ALB of the non-severe scrub typhus disease group and severe scrub typhus disease group were significantly decreased [HCT: (36.54±6.82)%, (38.13±7.60)% vs. (46.20±4.42)%; ALB (g/L): 35.53±5.87, 26.90±6.10 vs. 47.75±4.28, all P < 0.01], and the HCT-ALB difference was significantly increased (5.28±3.90, 11.26±6.62 vs. 1.55±5.32, both P < 0.01). Compared with the non-severe scrub typhus disease group, the HCT of the severe scrub typhus disease group was significantly increased [(38.13±7.60)% vs. (36.54±6.82)%, P < 0.01], the ALB was significantly decreased (g/L: 26.90±6.10 vs. 35.53±5.87, P < 0.01), and the HCT-ALB difference was significantly increased (11.26±6.62 vs. 5.28±3.90, P < 0.01). (3) Pearson correlation analysis showed that HCT-ALB difference was positively correlated with LDH and UA in patients with severe scrub typhus disease (r values were 0.316 and 0.284, respectively, both P < 0.01), and negatively correlated with APACHE II score and SOFA score (r values were -0.229 and -0.198, respectively, both P < 0.05). (4) ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of HCT-ALB difference in the diagnosis of severe scrub typhus disease was 0.786, standard error was 0.024, P = 0.000, and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.739-0.832. When the best diagnostic value was 8.56, the sensitivity was 81.1%, the specificity was 60.8%, and the Youden index was 0.419. CONCLUSIONS HCT-ALB difference is an indicator to evaluate the severe scrub typhus disease. When HCT-ALB difference is above 8.56, it can be used as an indicator to identify severe scrub typhus disease.

Abstract
Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) usually show high rate performance and long cycling spans but inferior specific capacitance, which are mainly created by restriction of the charge storage mechanism. To improve the capacitive performance, traditional methods include enlarging surface area, optimizing porous structures, and readjusting functional groups through heteroatom doping to electrode materials. Besides that, another promising approach is suggested, which is to enhance surface roughness of the electrode materials for ion storage and transport. To prove this view, two porous carbon materials were fabricated by activation-calcination methods, which allowed the materials to have identical surface area, porous structures, and surface composition but the surface roughness. Further electrochemical measurements exhibited that the optimal sample with higher roughness has remarkable specific capacitance (up to 562 F g-1), and the increment rate is more than 50% when compared with contrast sample (367 F g-1). Therefore, optimization of the surface roughness of electrode materials is another efficient route to make robust EDLCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct and indirect selection pressures imposed by antibiotics and co-selective agents and horizontal gene transfer are fundamental drivers of the evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, effective environmental monitoring tools should ideally capture not only antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but also mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and indicators of co-selective forces, such as metal resistance genes (MRGs). A major challenge towards characterizing the potential human health risk of antibiotic resistance is the ability to identify ARG-carrying microorganisms, of which human pathogens are arguably of greatest risk. Historically, short reads produced by next-generation sequencing technologies have hampered confidence in assemblies for achieving these purposes. RESULTS Here, we introduce NanoARG, an online computational resource that takes advantage of the long reads produced by nanopore sequencing technology. Specifically, long nanopore reads enable identification of ARGs in the context of relevant neighboring genes, thus providing valuable insight into mobility, co-selection, and pathogenicity. NanoARG was applied to study a variety of nanopore sequencing data to demonstrate its functionality. NanoARG was further validated through characterizing its ability to correctly identify ARGs in sequences of varying lengths and a range of sequencing error rates. CONCLUSIONS NanoARG allows users to upload sequence data online and provides various means to analyze and visualize the data, including quantitative and simultaneous profiling of ARGs, MRGs, MGEs, and putative pathogens. A user-friendly interface allows users the analysis of long DNA sequences (including assembled contigs), facilitating data processing, analysis, and visualization. NanoARG is publicly available and freely accessible at https://bench.cs.vt.edu/nanoarg .

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Endocrine therapy such as selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) fulvestrant has been used effectively to extend the life of HR+ (ER+ and PR+) and HER2- breast cancer patient, either alone or in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors such as palbociclib or abemaciclib. D-0502 is an orally bioavailable SERD with potent activity in various HR+ and HER2- breast cancer cell lines and xenograft models. Its combination with palbociclib in both MCF-7 xenograft model and ESR-1 mutated (Y537S) patient derived breast cancer xenograft models resulted in further tumor growth inhibition or regression. Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies both in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that D-0502 exhibits favorable PK profiles suitable for clinical development.
Trial Design: D-0502 is currently being evaluated in a phase 1 trial of women with advanced or metastatic HR+, HER2- breast cancer (MBC) (NCT03471663). This is a multicenter, open-label phase I study of D-0502 single agent and D-0502 in combination with standard dose of palbociclib. The primary objective is to characterize the safety and tolerability of D-0502 and D-0502 in combination with palbociclib, to identify an MTD and/or RP2D. The secondary objective is to evaluate the PK properties and the preliminary anti-tumor activities. Patients will receive D-0502 orally every day and treatment will be administered as 28-day cycles. The study has two parts: Dose Escalation (phase 1a) and Dose Expansion and Combination (phase 1b). In phase Ia, patients will be enrolled using a conventional dose-escalation algorithm (3+3 subjects per dose level) with 4 sequential dose cohorts to identify the MTD and RDE (recommended dose for expansion) in phase 1b) which will be at or below MTD. In phase 1b, there will be 2 cohorts, one is D-0502 single agent administered at RDE and the other is D-0502 in combination with standard dose of palbociclib, each with approximately 12 patients.
Key Eligibility Criteria: Eligible patients included women with confirmed HR+, HER2- MBC who have previously received no more than 2 prior chemotherapies for MBC; ECOG 0-1; evaluable (phase 1a) or measurable (phase 1b) disease (RECIST v1.1); premenopausal or postmenopausal status; adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal functions.
Current Status and Contact Information: At the time of abstract submission, the first cohort of 50 mg patients have started the study treatment. For inquiry of the study, please contact ling.zhang@inventisbio.com.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the difference between hematocrit (Hct) and albumin (Alb) levels (Hct-Alb) in hemorrhagic shock and septic shock, and to provide a quick and simple method for differentiating hemorrhagic shock from septic shock. METHODS 270 shock patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from August 2012 to August 2018, including 124 patients with hemorrhagic shock and 148 patients with septic shock, were enrolled. 148 patients underwent routine physical examination served as a control healthy group. General information such as gender, age, and body mass index (BMI) of the patient were collected. Hct and serum Alb levels on the day of physical examination or onset before blood products transfusion were recorded, and the Hct-Alb difference was calculated. The Hct-Alb differences among the three groups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the differential diagnosis value of Hct-Alb difference for shock type. RESULTS All patients were enrolled in the final analysis. Compared with the healthy control group, the patients with hemorrhagic and septic shock were older (years: 50.0±19.8, 59.9±16.9 vs. 42.5±13.6, both P < 0.01), and those patients with septic shock was significantly older than those with hemorrhagic shock (years: 59.9±16.9 vs. 50.0±19.8, P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in gender or BMI among the three groups. Compared with the healthy control group, Hct and Alb values in hemorrhagic shock group and septic shock group were significantly decreased [Hct: (27.9±8.4)%, (35.5±7.1)% vs. (47.0±4.4)%, Alb (g/L): 28.9±7.1, 23.3±5.8 vs. 45.4±4.3, all P < 0.01]. The Hct-Alb difference in the septic shock group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (12.1±7.5 vs. 1.6±5.9, P < 0.01), but no significant difference was found between hemorrhagic shock group and healthy control group (-0.9±5.3 vs. 1.6±5.9, P > 0.05). Compared with hemorrhagic shock group, the Alb level in septic shock group was significantly decreased (g/L: 23.3±5.8 vs. 28.9±7.1, P < 0.01), and Hct and Hct-Alb difference were significantly increased [Hct: (35.5±7.1)% vs. (27.9±8.4)%, Hct-Alb difference: 12.1±7.5 vs. -0.9±5.3, both P < 0.01]. It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for diagnosing hemorrhagic shock and septic shock was 0.366 and 0.867, indicating that Hct-Alb difference had diagnostic value only for septic shock. When the best cut-off value of Hct-Alb difference was 6.8, the sensitivity was 79.5% for diagnosing septic shock, and the specificity was 79.7%, the positive predict value was 0.80, the negative predict value was 0.80, the positive likelihood ratio was 3.916, the negative likelihood ratio was 0.257. CONCLUSIONS The Hct-Alb difference in patients with septic shock is higher than that in patients with hemorrhagic shock. The Hct-Alb difference is highly accurate in diagnosing septic shock. When the Hct-Alb difference is greater than 6.8, it can be used for differential diagnosis of hemorrhagic shock and septic shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of the difference between hematocrit (Hct) and plasma albumin (Alb) in the course of patients with systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS). METHODS 281 case reports on human vascular leaking from the PubMed database from January 1st, 1996 to September 30th, 2015 were screened by systematic review method. Studies related to intracranial vascular leakage or intraocular vascular leakage were excluded. 213 articles related to SCLS were identified (164 in English, 16 in French, 8 in Japanese, 7 in German, 7 in Spanish, 4 in Italian, 2 in Chinese, 2 in Danish, 2 in Dutch, and 1 in Swedish). Due to the unavailable full text, 40 articles were excluded. A total of 173 articles related to SCLS were screened, of which 84 patients were enrolled. The data of Alb, Hct, age, gender, weight change, the length of hospital stay and 24-hour fluid infusion volume in SCLS patients were recorded, and the difference between Hct and plasma Alb (Hct-Alb) was calculated. According to the time when accurate Hct and Alb data were collected, they were divided into three groups: basic value group before onset, value group at onset and value group at recovery/discharge after onset. The levels of Hct and Alb and Hct-Alb at different time points in the course of the disease were compared. Pearson test was used to analyze the correlation between Hct-Alb and 24-hour fluid infusion volume. RESULTS (1) A total of 12 cases with both exact values of Alb and Hct [or hemoglobin (Hb)] at the time of onset and recovery after treatment were selected from 84 cases of SCLS. It was shown that the Hct-Alb at the time of onset was significantly higher than that after treatment (26.33±16.36 vs. 0.55±8.81, P < 0.001). (2) A total of 17 cases with both the pre-onset baseline value and the exact values of Alb and Hct (or Hb) at the time of onset were selected from 84 cases of SCLS. It was shown that the Hct-Alb at the time of onset was significantly higher than that of the pre-onset basic value (15.83±11.37 vs. 1.82±7.97, P < 0.001). (3) A total of 14 cases with both exact values of Alb, Hct and 24-hour fluid infusion volume at the time of onset were selected from 84 cases of SCLS. It was shown that the Hct-Alb was 35.45±19.58 at the time of onset. The average 24-hour fluid infusion volume was (9.82±4.95) L, and the maximum volume of fluid infusion was 20 L. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the Hct-Alb at the time of onset was significantly positively correlated with 24-hour fluid infusion volume (r = 0.578, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In the analysis of SCLS cases published with adequate data available from 1996 to 2015, it was revealed that: (1) the difference in Hct-Alb levels at the onset of SCLS was 32.06±17.41. (2) The greater the difference between Hct and plasma Alb, the more amount of fluid required to maintain normal blood pressure.

Abstract
The curative effects of Ex-PRESS implantation and Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in the treatment of refractory glaucoma were compared. A total of 68 patients (76 eyes) with refractory glaucoma treated were randomly divided into Ex-PRESS group and AGV group. Results showed that the intraocular pressure IOP in both Ex-PRESS group and AGV group after operation was significantly decreased compared with that before operation (P<0.001). At 3, 6 and 9 months after operation, IOP in Ex-PRESS group was significantly lower than that in AGV group (P<0.05). At the end of follow-up, BCVA of patients in both groups after operation was slightly decreased compared with that before operation (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in BCVA between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). Moreover, the corneal endothelial cell counts of patients in both groups after operation were obviously decreased compared with those before operation (P<0.05). The number of anti-glaucoma drugs applied was decreased from 3.53±0.86 to 0.55±0.60 in Ex-PRESS, and from 3.24±0.88 to 0.89±0.73 in AGV group. At the end of follow-up, the number of anti-glaucoma drugs applied in Ex-PRESS group was smaller than that in AGV group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in success rate of operation between the two groups at the end of follow-up (log-rank test; P>0.05). Finally, the incidence rates of postoperative complications and surgical intervention rates had no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Ex-PRESS implantation is a safe and effective treatment for refractory glaucoma, characterized by simple operation, small trauma and less pain, which has an equivalent curative effect to AGV implantation; but its control effect on IOP after operation is superior to that of AGV, and the number of anti-glaucoma drugs applied after operation is small.

Abstract
Carbons spheres, easily fabricated by glucose hydrolysis, were integrated with α-Fe2O3 for removing heavy metal from contaminated water. The α-Fe2O3 particles were anchored on the surface of carbon spheres and the combination of two components provided more rough surface area, enhancing the adsorption performance of α-Fe2O3. The removal efficiency of Cr(VI) on α-Fe2O3/carbon spheres was 88% in 240 min, which was 1.93 times higher than that of pristine α-Fe2O3. The investigation on adsorption kinetics and isotherm showed that the pseudo-first-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models could well fit the experimental data. The adsorption rate was mainly controlled by both exterior and interior surface diffusion steps. Adsorption thermodynamics investigation proved that the Cr(VI) adsorption on α-Fe2O3/carbon spheres was an endothermic (93.32 kJ · mol-1) and spontaneous (-3.96 kJ · mol-1) physical process. The adsorption capacity was 18.7 mg · g-1 and after recycling five times, the decline of adsorption capacity of α-Fe2O3/carbon spheres was 7.8%, which indicated that the adsorbents could be recycled in the removal of Cr(VI). It indicated that the hybridization with carbon spheres could enhance the adsorption performance of α-Fe2O3, which might be used as convenient adsorbent to remove heavy metal in industry.

Abstract
AIMS Interactions with water bacteria affect the incorporation of pathogens into biofilms and thus pathogen control in drinking water systems. This study was to examine the impact of static vs flow conditions on interactions between a pathogen and a water bacterium on pathogen biofilm formation under laboratory settings. METHODS AND RESULTS A pathogen surrogate Escherichia coli and a drinking water isolate Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was selected for this study. Biofilm growth was examined under two distinct conditions, in flow cells with continuous medium supply vs in static microtitre plates with batch culture. E. coli biofilm was greatly stimulated (c. 2-1000 times faster) with the presence of S. maltophilia in flow cells, but surprisingly inhibited (c. 65-95% less biomass) in microtitre plates. These divergent effects were explained through various aspects including surface attachment, cellular growth, extracellular signals and autoaggregation. CONCLUSIONS Interactions with the same water bacterium resulted in different effects on E. coli biofilm formation when culture conditions changed from static to flow. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY This study highlights the complexity of species interactions on biofilm formation and suggests that environmental conditions such as the flow regime can be taken into consideration for the management of microbial contamination in drinking water systems.
