Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative sleep disturbances significantly impair postoperative recovery. The administration of intravenous esketamine has been shown to potentially improve postoperative sleep quality. However, the effectiveness of epidural esketamine in improving postoperative sleep quality remains to be elucidated. This study aims to explore the impact of both intraoperative and postoperative use of epidural esketamine on the postoperative sleep quality of patients undergoing minimally invasive lower abdominal surgeries. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial will be conducted at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre. A total of 128 adults undergoing minimally invasive lower abdominal surgeries will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the esketamine group or the placebo group. In the esketamine group, epidural esketamine will be administered intraoperatively (0.2 mg/kg) and postoperatively (25 mg). Postoperatively, all patients will receive epidural analgesia. The primary outcome of the study is the incidence of poor sleep quality on the third day after surgery. The sleep quality assessment will be conducted using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and a Numeric Rating Scale of sleep. The main secondary outcomes include postoperative pain and anxiety and depression scores. The postoperative pain, both rest pain and movement pain, will be assessed using a Numerical Rating Scale within 5 days after surgery. Anxiety and depression scores will be evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale both before and after the surgery. Safety outcomes will include delirium, fidgeting, hallucinations, dizziness and nightmares. The analyses will be performed in accordance with intention-to-treat principle ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval has been obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Shanghai Cancer Centre (2309281-9). Prior to participation, all patients will provide written informed consent. The results of the trial are intended to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2300076862.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to predict the mRNA expression of CSF1R in HGG non-invasively using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) omics technology and to evaluate the correlation between the established radiomics model and prognosis. We investigated the predictive value of CSF1R in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) database. The Support vector machine (SVM) and the Logistic regression (LR) algorithms were used to create a radiomics_score (Rad_score), respectively. The effectiveness and performance of the radiomics model was assessed in the training (n = 89) and tenfold cross-validation sets. We further analyzed the correlation between Rad_score and macrophage-related genes using Spearman correlation analysis. A radiomics nomogram combining the clinical factors and Rad_score was constructed to validate the radiomic signatures for individualized survival estimation and risk stratification. The results showed that CSF1R expression was markedly elevated in HGG tissues, which was related to worse prognosis. CSF1R expression was closely related to the abundance of infiltrating immune cells, such as macrophages. We identified nine features for establishing a radiomics model. The radiomics model predicting CSF1R achieved high AUC in training (0.768 in SVM and 0.792 in LR) and tenfold cross-validation sets (0.706 in SVM and 0.717 in LR). Rad_score was highly associated with tumor-related macrophage genes. A radiomics nomogram combining the Rad_score and clinical factors was constructed and revealed satisfactory performance. MRI-based Rad_score is a novel way to predict CSF1R expression and prognosis in high-grade glioma patients. The radiomics nomogram could optimize individualized survival estimation for HGG patients.

Abstract
To compare different rat models of sepsis at different time points, based on pulmonary or extrapulmonary injury mechanisms, to identify a model which is more stable and reproducible to cause sepsis-associated acute lung injury (ALI). Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to (1) cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) with single (CLP1 group) or two repeated through-and-through punctures (CLP2 group); (2) tail vein injection with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of 10mg/kg (IV-LPS10 group) or 20 mg/kg (IV-LPS20 group); (3) intratracheal instillation with LPS of 10mg/kg (IT-LPS10 group) or 20mg/kg (IT-LPS20 group). Each of the model groups had a sham group. 7-day survival rates of each group were observed (n=15 for each group). Moreover, three time points were set for additional experimental studying in each model group: 4 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after modeling (every time point, n=8 for each group). Rats were sacrificed to collect BALF and lung tissue samples at different time points for detection of IL-6, TNF-alpha, total protein concentration in BALF and MPO activity, HMGB1 protein expression in lung tissues, as well as the histopathological changes of lung tissues. More than 50 % of the rats died within 7 days in each model group, except for the IT-LPS10 group. In contrast, the mortality rates in the two IV-LPS groups as well as the IT-LPS20 group were significantly higher than that in IT-LPS10 group. Rats received LPS by intratracheal instillation exhibited evident histopathological changes and inflammatory exudation in the lung, but there was no evidence of lung injury in CLP and IV-LPS groups. Rat model of intratracheal instillation with LPS proved to be a more stable and reproducible animal model to cause sepsis-associated ALI than the extrapulmonary models of sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease characterized by limited airflow and is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gene polymorphisms in MIR5708 and MIR1208 on COPD risk. METHODS Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MIR5708 (rs6473227 and rs16907751) and MIR1208 (rs2608029 and rs13280095) were selected and genotyped among 315 COPD patients and 314 healthy controls using the Agena MassARRAY platform. SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis and data processing. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between genetic variants of MIR1208 and MIR5708 and COPD risk. RESULTS The results suggested that rs16907751 variants in MIR5708 contributed to an increased susceptibility to COPD in the allelic (P = 0.001), co-dominant (homozygous) (P = 0.001), dominant (P = 0.017), recessive (P = 0.002), and additive (P = 0.002) models. The effects of MIR5708 and MIR1208 gene polymorphisms on the risk of COPD were age-, sex-, smoking status-, and BMI-related. Furthermore, the C-A and G-A haplotypes of rs2608029 and rs13280095 in MIR1208 were identified as risk factors for COPD in the population over 70 years (P = 0.029) and in women (P = 0.049), respectively. Finally, significant associations between rs16907751genotypes with pulse rate and forced expiratory volume in 1 s were found among COPD patients. CONCLUSION Genetic polymorphisms in MIR5708 and MIR1208 are associated with increased risk of COPD in China.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Core strength training is a modern method of approach that matches the current demand for a more resilient physique on young players. Although it was initially conceived as complementary training to contribute to strength and agility, other benefits have been observed for soccer athletes nowadays. Among the under-explored benefits is the effect on the athletes’ stability. Objective This article explores core training results on stability in young soccer players. Methods The theoretical applicability of basic stability training for young soccer players with core muscle strength training is discussed using mathematical statistics. The theoretical result is confronted with the practice of the controlled experiment on 18 young soccer players in 32 weeks with stabilization protocols. Results The fitness and soccer skills of the young men improved significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion Core strength training can promote the overall fitness of young soccer players. This training protocol for core strengthening achieves the primary goal of improving athletes’ competitive ability and fitness. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the influencing factors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with knee osteoarthritis, and to analyze the non-surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Demographic variables, treatment modalities, imaging data, and 12-item short form health survey (SF-12) scores of patients with knee osteoarthritis in orthopedic outpatient departments of five hospitals in Beijing from December 2017 to November 2018 were collected to analyze influencing factors of HRQoL and non-surgical treatment. Results: A total of 2 034 patients were included. There were 530 males (26.1%) and 1 504 females (73.9%), with a mean age of (59.17±10.22) years. In terms of physical quality of life, female patients with knee osteoarthritis had lower physical components summary (PCS) compared with male patients (β=-0.521, P=0.036); patients aged ≥64 years had lower PCS than those aged<55 years (β=-0.636, P=0.026). Patients with an education of more than 12 years had higher PCS than those with less than 10 years (β=1.063, P<0.001). Compared to patients with mild clinical symptoms, the PCS of patients with moderate clinical symptoms was lower (β=-0.860, P=0.002), while the PCS of those with severe clinical symptoms was much lower (β=-1.126, P<0.001). Patients treated with combination therapy had higher PCS than untreated patients (β=0.731, P=0.005). In terms of mental quality of life, compared to patients engaged in sedentary work, the mental components summary (MCS) of patients engaged in mild manual labor jobs was lower (β=-0.712, P=0.015); Compared to patients with a Charson comorbidity index of 0, patients with a Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 2 had lower MCS (β=-1.183, P=0.007). In the past 12 months, 648 (31.9%), 143 (7.0%), 406 (20.0%), 680 (33.4%), 343 (16.9%), 681 (33.5%), 170 (8.4%) patients had used non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, glucosamine/chondroitin formulations, physical therapy, articular cavity puncture injection, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and exercise therapy, respectively. Total of 451 patients (22.2%) received monotherapy and 889 patients (43.7%) received combination therapy. Conclusions: The major non-surgical treatment methods for patients with knee osteoarthritis in Beijing are NSAIDs, physiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Combination therapy is used more frequently than monotherapy. Physical quality of life is related to gender, age, education, severity of symptoms and treatment, while mental quality of life is related to occupational labor and comorbidities.

Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). The article is a duplicate of a paper that has already been published in Medicine, 97 (2018) e11849 https://doi.org/10.1097/MD.0000000000011849. Redundant publications overweigh the relative importance of published findings and distort the academic record of the authors. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is therefore that authors declare explicitly that the paper has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. As such this article represents a misuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.

Abstract
Piglet mortality is an economically important complex trait that impacts sow prolificacy. Genetic analyses for piglet mortality at weaning have been reported in dozens of studies, but not for piglet mortality at birth. In this study, we used multi-breed data sets from Yorkshire, Landrace, and Duroc sows to characterize the genetic fundamentals of piglet mortality at birth. The heritabilities from parity I to III were estimated to be 0.0630, 0.1031, and 0.1140 respectively. By using a combined strategy, a total of 21 SNPs were detected in three parities, of which six were observed in parity I, five in parity II and 10 in parity III. Genome annotation revealed that these SNPs were harbored within or close to 19 candidate genes. The candidate genes were found to associate with the reproductive system and embryonic development in the tissue expression database, which are reasonably related to piglet mortality. These findings are expected to provide much information for understanding the genetic and genomic fundamentals of farrowing mortality.

Abstract
Context The increased number of male dairy origin calves in Ireland due to the abolition of European Union milk quotas is a potential resource for the beef industry. Rearing these animals as bulls rather than steers is more efficient from a production perspective. Ensuring satisfactory quality of bull beef from dairy origin is essential. Aim To determine the effect of two production systems and three muscle types on physico-chemical characteristics and fatty acid (FA) profile of beef from Holstein-Friesian (HF) bulls. Methods Thirty HF bulls were equally assigned to two production systems, namely, slaughter at under 16 months of age or slaughter at 19 months of age. Longissimus thoracis (LT), Semitendinosus (ST) and Gluteus medius (GM) muscles were excised post-slaughter for determination of pH, colour, Warner–Bratzler (WB) variables, cook loss, chemical composition [intramuscular fat (IMF), moisture, protein, ash], collagen characteristics and FA profile. Results WB variables and cook loss after 14 days postmortem ageing, and insoluble and total collagen contents were higher, while IMF content, redness and saturation at 24 h post-blooming were lower for muscles from the 19-month production system. Muscles from the under 16-month production system had a higher saturated fatty acid (SFA) proportion and n-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio, while muscle from the 19-month production system had a higher PUFA proportion, n-3 PUFA proportion and PUFA:SFA ratio. The GM muscle had the lowest L* value, followed by LT and ST. Yellowness, saturation and hue angle were greater in ST. LT had lower WB variables, cook loss, moisture, and a higher IMF content than ST and GM. The PUFA proportion and PUFA:SFA ratio were highest in ST, followed by GM and LT. IMF, total FA, SFA and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) concentrations were higher in LT from the under 16-month production system bulls (the interaction). Conclusions Beef from the under 16-month production system compared with beef from the 19-month production system, and LT compared with ST and GM muscles had better quality characteristics. Implications Dairy bulls can produce beef of acceptable quality. The findings will guide selection of the combination of production system and muscle type most appropriate to specific market requirements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of bilateral early breast sucking and unilateral early breast sucking within 2 h after delivery on lactation, breast distending pain and postpartum lochia. METHODS The clinical data of 128 parturients were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different ways of early breast suction, the parturients were divided into control group (n=64) and observation group (n=64). Among them, unilateral early sucking was performed within 2 h after delivery in the control group, while bilateral early sucking was carried out in the observation group. We compared the lactation, breast distending pain, postpartum lochia, nutritional status, coagulation index, complications and breast feeding success rate. RESULTS The lactation amount of the observation group was higher than that of the control group on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day after delivery; the VAS scores showed opposite trends; the amount of lochia in the observation group was less than that in the control group; the ALb, PA and Hb levels in the observation group were higher on the 7th day after delivery. Compared with the control group, the FIB, PT and APTT time was shorter and the D-D level was higher; the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, galactostasis and postpartum depression in the observation group was lower, and the success rate of feeding on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after delivery was higher in the observation group seven days after intervention. CONCLUSION Bilateral early breast sucking within 2 h after delivery is helpful to increase lactation and reduce breast distending pain and postpartum lochia. It also promotes maternal nutritional status and coagulation function, reduces the incidence of postpartum complications, and improves the breastfeeding rate.

Abstract
Climatic factors play an essential role in the growth of tree ring width. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between climatic variables and tree-ring growth characteristics of Pinus sibirica in Altai mountains, northwestern China. This study being is first of its kind on climate growth analysis of Pinus sibirica in northwestern China. The study showed great potential to understand the species growing under the specific climatic conditions. Total of 70 tree cores collected from three sites in the sampling area, out of which 63 tree cores considered for this study. The effect of climatic variables which was studied include precipitation, temperature and PDSI. Our results showed that Tree Ring Width chronology has a significantly positive correlation with the late winter (March) temperature and significant negative correlation with the July temperatures. A significant correlation was observed with the late summer precipitation whereas no significant relation found with the Palmer Drought Severity Index. These significant correlations with temperature and precipitation suggested that this tree species had the potential for the reconstruction of the past climate in the area.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study explored and analyzed the effects of bilateral and unilateral early sucking within 2 h after delivery on lactation. METHODS From August 2019 to August 2020, 392 primiparas with full-term, singleton, natural delivery, and normal breast conditions were submitted to the Obstetrics Department of our hospital and were enrolled as the research subjects. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 196 in each group. Both groups implemented early sucking with the assistance of a midwife within 2 h after delivery. The experimental group conducted bilateral breast sucking and the control group received unilateral sucking. The onset time of colostrum, the lactation volume, and the prolactin levels at 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after delivery, including neonatal urination and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The onset time of colostrum in the experimental group was much earlier than that in the control group with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The postpartum filling time of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There was a statistically insignificant difference in the distribution of lactation yield between the two groups at 6 h of postpartum (P>0.05). The lactation yield distribution in the experimental group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h was critically superior to that in control group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The degree of prolactin in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in urination frequency and the incidence of complications between the two groups of neonates at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The effect of bilateral early lactation within 2 h after delivery is superior to that of unilateral early lactation, which is worthy of clinical application.

Abstract
The mutations are genetic changes in the genome sequences and have a significant role in biotechnology, genetics, and molecular biology even to find out the genome sequences of a cell DNA along with the viral RNA sequencing. The mutations are the alterations in DNA that may be natural or spontaneous and induced due to biochemical reactions or radiations which damage cell DNA. There is another cause of mutations which is known as transposons or jumping genes which can change their position in the genome during meiosis or DNA replication. The transposable elements can induce by self in the genome due to cellular and molecular mechanisms including hypermutation which caused the localization of transposable elements to move within the genome. The use of induced mutations for studying the mutagenesis in crop plants is very common as well as a promising method for screening crop plants with new and enhanced traits for the improvement of yield and production. The utilization of insertional mutations through transposons or jumping genes usually generates stable mutant alleles which are mostly tagged for the presence or absence of jumping genes or transposable elements. The transposable elements may be used for the identification of mutated genes in crop plants and even for the stable insertion of transposable elements in mutated crop plants. The guanine nucleotide-binding (GTP) proteins have an important role in inducing tolerance in rice plants to combat abiotic stress conditions.

Abstract
AIM Colorectal cancer is predominantly a disease of the elderly and up to 30% of these patients will present as an emergency. We compared the outcomes of 'elderly' patients presenting to our unit with a colorectal cancer emergency over a 10-year period with those of a 'younger' cohort. METHODS A single centre retrospective review of colorectal cancer emergencies between 1 April 2007 and 1 April 2017 was performed. Patients were separated into two cohorts: 'young' (< 75 years) and 'elderly' (≥ 75 years). Data collected included demographics, disease status, treatment and outcomes. RESULTS A total of 341 patients (< 75 years: n = 154; ≥ 75 years: n = 187) presented as a colorectal cancer emergency. Significantly fewer 'elderly' patients underwent curative surgical procedures (72% vs 49%, P < 0.0001) or received adjuvant chemotherapy (56% vs 21%, P < 0.0001). 'Elderly' patients had significantly more postoperative cardio-respiratory complications (7% vs 36%, P < 0.0001), but despite this there was no significant difference in 30-day mortality (7% vs 12%) and survival rates at 1 year (75% vs 74%) or 3 years (56% vs 49%). Elderly patients treated with best supportive care had a median overall survival of just 62 (range 1-955) days. CONCLUSION Patients ≥ 75 years presenting as a colorectal cancer emergency were significantly less likely to undergo emergency curative surgery or receive adjuvant chemotherapy than those < 75 years. However, the 30-day mortality, 1- and 3-year survival rates for patients undergoing curative surgery were comparable.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
With demographic and epidemiologic transitions, China has become home to the greatest number of obese individuals in the world. Effective policy intervention requires a contemporary assessment of obesity across broad socio-demographic subgroups.
Purpose
We aim to assess the prevalence of overall and abdominal obesity by socio-demographic characteristics and the associations of these characteristics with obesity in China.
Methods
Using the data of 2.7-million community-dwelling participants aged 35–75 years in the China PEACE Million Persons Project, a nationwide cross-sectional screening project from 2014 to 2018, we calculated the prevalence of overall and abdominal obesity based on national guideline definitions (body mass index ≥28 kg/m2, waist circumference ≥85/90 cm for women/men). We examined 12 available socio-demographic variables that are potentially associated with obesity, in addition to self-reported co-morbidities, and quantified the associations of these socio-demographic characteristics with obesity using multivariable mixed models.
Results
The prevalence of overall and abdominal obesity were 15.8% and 37.6% in women and 15.0% and 36.3% in men (Figure). Compared to individuals with normal weight, those with overall obesity had a higher prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes (in women: by 30.4, 16.1, and 6.0 percent points; in men, by 29.9, 31.2, and 5.8 percent points). A similar pattern was observed with abdominal obesity. In women, those aged 55–64 years constituted the largest age group with overall and abdominal obesity (33.7% and 35.0%), while in men, those aged 45–54 and 55–64 years constituted the largest age group with overall obesity (30.4%) and abdominal obesity (30.5%), respectively. Older women were at substantially higher risk for obesity (e.g., adjusted relative risk [95% CI] of women aged 65–75 vs. 35–44 years: 1.29 [1.27–1.31] for overall obesity and 1.76 [1.74–1.77] for abdominal obesity) while older men were not. Higher education was associated with lower risk in women (e.g., those with college or university education vs. less than primary school: 0.47 [0.46–0.48] for overall obesity and 0.61 [0.60–0.62] for abdominal obesity) but higher risk in men (1.07 [1.05–1.10] and 1.17 [1.16–1.19]). In both women and men, current smoking was associated with lower risk for obesity, and current drinking was associated with higher risk, but the magnitude of associations was smaller in women than men.
Conclusions
In China, over one in seven individuals meet criteria for overall obesity, and one in three for abdominal obesity. Wide variation exists across socio-demographic subgroups. The associations of age and education with obesity are significant and differ by sex. Understanding obesity in contemporary China has broad domestic policy implications and provides a valuable international reference.

Abstract
Manned space exploration was initiated in China in 1992, and substantial progress has been made. The next step is to build the Chinese Space Station (CSS), which is planned to be launched in 2020. The CSS will provide an on-orbit laboratory for experimental studies including space radiation research. The health risk of space radiation, especially carcinogenesis, is a major concern for long-term space exploration. Establishing a risk assessment system suitable for Chinese astronauts and developing effective countermeasures are major tasks for Chinese space radiobiologists. The Institute of Space Life Sciences, Soochow University has focused on these topics for years. We established cancer models with low-dose-rate exposure of alpha particles, and elucidated a microRNA-TGFβ network regulating bystander effects and a lncRNA-cytoskeleton network regulating genomic instability induced by ionising radiation. We also confirmed the radioresistance of quiescent cells, which inspires a potential strategy to improve individual radioresistance during long-term space travel. However, we believe that a multi-disciplinary strategy must be developed to protect astronauts from highly energised space radiation.

Abstract
Appropriate cell sources, bioactive factors and biomaterials for generation of functional and integrated annulus fibrosus (AF) tissue analogues are still an unmet need. In the present study, the AF cell markers, collagen type I, cluster of differentiation 146 (CD146), mohawk (MKX) and smooth muscle protein 22α (SM22α) were found to be suitable indicators of functional AF cell induction. In vitro 2D culture of human AF cells showed that transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) upregulated the expression of the functional AF markers and increased cell contractility, indicating that TGF-β1-pre-treated AF cells were an appropriate cell source for AF tissue regeneration. Furthermore, a tissue engineered construct, composed of polyurethane (PU) scaffold with a TGF-β1-supplemented collagen type I hydrogel and human AF cells, was evaluated with in vitro 3D culture and ex vivo preclinical bioreactor-loaded organ culture models. The collagen type I hydrogel helped maintaining the AF functional phenotype. TGF-β1 supplement within the collagen I hydrogel further promoted cell proliferation and matrix production of AF cells within in vitro 3D culture. In the ex vivo IVD organ culture model with physiologically relevant mechanical loading, TGF-β1 supplement in the transplanted constructs induced the functional AF cell phenotype and enhanced collagen matrix synthesis. In conclusion, TGF-β1-containing collagen-PU constructs can induce the functional cell phenotype of human AF cells in vitro and in situ. This combined cellular, biomaterial and bioactive agent therapy has a great potential for AF tissue regeneration and rupture repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic immunoinflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Piperine, an alkaloid, has been reported to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antiulcer potential. AIM To elucidate the plausible mechanisms of action of piperine on experimental trinitrobenzenesufonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis by assessing various biochemical, molecular, histological, and ultrastructural modifications. METHODS Colitis was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats via intrarectal instillation of TNBS. Then, the rats were treated with piperine (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, p.o.) for 14 days. RESULTS TNBS induced significant (p < 0.05) colonic damage, which was assessed by disease activity index, macroscopic score, and stool consistency. The administration of piperine (20 and 40 mg/kg) significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) these damages. Treatments with piperine (20 and 40 mg/kg) notably inhibited (p < 0.05) the TNBS-induced elevation of oxido-nitrosative stress (superoxide dismutase, glutathione, malondialdehyde, and nitric oxide), 5-hydroxytryptamine, and hydroxyproline content in the colon. Furthermore, colonic inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOs), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, interferon-gamma, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions were upregulated after TNBS instillation and piperine (20 and 40 mg/kg) significantly attenuated (p < 0.05) these elevated mRNA expressions. TNBS decreased the expressions of tight junction (TJ) protein (claudin-1, occludin, and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1)) and increased the expressions of proapoptotic (caspase-1) protein. These expressions were markedly inhibited (p < 0.05) by piperine treatment. Histological and ultrastructural studies of transmission electron microscopy suggested that piperine significantly ameliorated (p < 0.05) TNBS-induced colonic aberrations. CONCLUSION Piperine ameliorated the progression of TNBS-induced colitis by modulating the nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor-alpha/nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway, thus inhibiting the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL's), COX-2, iNOs, oxido-nitrosative stress, and proapoptotic proteins (caspase-1) that may improve the expression of TJ protein (claudin-1, occludin, and ZO-1).

Abstract
Increased concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases have led to a global mean surface temperature 1.0°C higher than during the pre-industrial period. We expand on the recent IPCC Special Report on global warming of 1.5°C and review the additional risks associated with higher levels of warming, each having major implications for multiple geographies, climates, and ecosystems. Limiting warming to 1.5°C rather than 2.0°C would be required to maintain substantial proportions of ecosystems and would have clear benefits for human health and economies. These conclusions are relevant for people everywhere, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where the escalation of climate-related risks may prevent the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and safety of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in perioperative period of liver operation. Methods: One hundred and sixty-six patients who underwent liver operation were enrolled as control group, and additional 170 patients were chosen as ERAS group. Preoperative and postoperative indexes of the two groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, patients in ERAS group had higher preoperative enteral nutrition support rate, lower incidence of thirst and hunger, earlier initial postoperative feeding, higher prophylactic analgesia rate, lower incidence of outbreak pain, more daily activities, lower incidence of abdominal distention and shorter hospitalization days (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Application of enhanced recovery after surgery on perioperative nursing care in elective liver surgical patients is safe, and it can relieve patients' perioperative discomfort and accelerate postoperative rehabilitation.

Abstract
The microbial larvicides Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) are well known for their efficacy and safety in mosquito control. In order to assess their potential value in future mosquito control strategies in western Kenya, the current study tested the susceptibility of five populations of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), collected from five diverse ecological sites in this area, to Bti and Bs under laboratory conditions. In each population, bioassays were conducted with eight concentrations of larvicide (Bti/Bs) in four replicates and were repeated on three separate days. Larval mortality was recorded at 24 h or 48 h after the application of larvicide and subjected to probit analysis. A total of 2400 An. gambiae complex larvae from each population were tested for their susceptibility to Bti and Bs. The mean (± standard error of the mean, SEM) lethal concentration values of Bti required to achieve 50% and 95% larval mortality (LC50 and LC95 ) across the five populations were 0.062 (± 0.005) mg/L and 0.797 (± 0.087) mg/L, respectively. Corresponding mean (± SEM) values for Bs were 0.058 (± 0.005) mg/L and 0.451 (± 0.053) mg/L, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that the five populations of An. gambiae complex mosquitoes tested were fully susceptible to Bti and Bs, and there was no significant variation in susceptibility among the tested populations.

Abstract
Background Vegetation water content is one of the important biophysical features of vegetation health, and its remote estimation can be utilized to real-timely monitor vegetation water stress. Here, we compared the responses of canopy water content (CWC), leaf equivalent water thickness (EWT), and live fuel moisture content (LFMC) to different water treatments and their estimations using spectral vegetation indices (VIs) based on water stress experiments for summer maize during three consecutive growing seasons 2013–2015 in North Plain China. Results Results showed that CWC was sensitive to different water treatments and exhibited an obvious single-peak seasonal variation. EWT and LFMC were less sensitive to water variation and EWT stayed relatively stable while LFMC showed a decreasing trend. Among ten hyperspectral VIs, green chlorophyll index (CIgreen), red edge normalized ratio (NRred edge), and red-edge chlorophyll index (CIred edge) were the most sensitive VIs responding to water variation, and they were optimal VIs in the prediction of CWC and EWT. Conclusions Compared to EWT and LFMC, CWC obtained the best predictive power of crop water status using VIs. This study demonstrated that CWC was an optimal indicator to monitor maize water stress using optical hyperspectral remote sensing techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HuMSCs) have been shown to suppress cardiac fibrosis; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Recent studies have shown that endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plays a crucial part in myocardial fibrosis. In the present study, we investigated the suppressive role of HuMSCs in cardiac fibrosis and related mechanisms in a rat dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) model. METHODS Male Lewis rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. Rats without any treatment served as a negative control group, while the DCM rats, which were generated by immunization with porcine myosin, were divided into 2 groups: a HuMSC group, in which HuMSCs (1 × 106 cells/rat) were injected intravenously, and a vehicle group, in which rats were injected with volume-matched solution containing no HuMSCs. Histologic and immunofluorescent measurements were used to evaluate the effects of HuMSCs on cardiac fibrosis and EndMT. RESULTS We observed a significant increase in myocardial fibrosis, and elevated EndMT in rats of the vehicle group were observed compared with those in the negative control group along with the increased activity of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 signaling. Treatment with HuMSCs repressed the increase in myocardial fibrosis and EndMT observed in DCM rats, which correlated with decreased activity of TGF-β1/ERK1/2 signaling. CONCLUSION The HuMSCs attenuated cardiac fibrosis at least partly through the inhibition of TGF-β/ERK-induced EndMT.

Abstract
Clinical efficacy of metoprolol combined with irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide and non-invasive ventilator in the emergency treatment of patients with severe heart failure (HF) was investigated. A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 124 patients with severe HF admitted to Binzhou Medical University Hospital from May 2012 to August 2016 was performed. Among them, 78 patients who were treated with metoprolol combined with irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide and non-invasive ventilator for emergency treatment were enrolled into the Research Group, while the Control Group consisted of 46 patients treated with routine medical treatment. Echocardiographic parameters, 6-minute walking test results, the efficacy of the emergency treatment, cardiac function grading, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were compared between the two groups. After the emergency treatment, the echocardiographic indexes of both groups increased to different extents (P<0.05). Compared with the results before, patients of both groups walked longer within six minutes after the emergency treatment (P<0.05). After the emergency treatment, the BNP expression levels in the two groups decreased to different degrees (P<0.05). After a 7-day emergency treatment, the efficiency rate of treatment of the Research Group was higher than that of the Control Group (P<0.05). The method is helpful for the recovery of respiratory function, for relieving symptoms in short time, improving cardiac function and promising high safety, using metoprolol and irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide combined with non-invasive ventilator had satisfactory clinical efficacy in the emergency treatment of patients with severe heart failure and is thus worthy of clinical promotion.
