Abstract
INTRODUCTION L3 automated vehicles can perform all dynamic driving tasks unless a take-over occurs due to operational limits. This issue is potentially important for young drivers who are vulnerable road users since they have skill deficits and easily evolve into aberrant driving. However, drivers lacking active involvement may be fatigued and drowsy. Previous research indicated that performing a voluntary non-driving-related task (NDRT) could keep drivers alert, but there was no difference in take-over performance with or without NDRT. Providing a monitoring request (MR) before a possible take-over request (TOR) exhibited better take-over performance in temporary automated driving. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the effects of MR and voluntary NDRT on young drivers' fatigue and performance. METHOD Twenty-five young drivers experienced 60 min automated driving on a highway with low traffic density and a TOR prompted due to a collision event. A within-subjects was designed that comprised three conditions: NONE, TOR-only, and MR + TOR. Drivers were allowed to perform a self-paced phone NDRT during automated driving. RESULTS The PERCLOS and blink frequency data showed that playing phones could keep drivers vigilant. The take-over performance on whether taking phone had no difference, but with MRs condition exhibited better take-over performance including the shorter reaction time and the longer TTC. Subjective evaluations also showed the advantages of MRs with more safety, trust, acceptance, and lower workload. CONCLUSIONS Taking MRs had a positive effect on relieving fatigue and improving take-over performance. Furthermore, MRs could potentially improve the safety and acceptance of automated driving. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The MR design can be used in the automotive industry to ensure the safest interfaces between fatigue drivers and automation systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) had important roles in the treatment of relapse or refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Treatment of refractory disease after BV and -/or ICIs remains a challenge. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for R/R HL after failure to BV or ICIs. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients in two institutions with R/R HL who had failed after first-line therapy, and were refractory to BV or ICIs, and received radiotherapy (RT) thereafter. The overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 19 patients were enrolled. First-line systemic therapy consisted of ABVD (84.2%), AVD + ICIs (10.5%) and BEACOPP (5.3%), respectively. After first-line therapy, 15 patients (78.9%) were refractory, and 4 patients (21.1%) relapsed. After diagnosis of R/R HL, 8 patients (42.1%) received BV, and 17 patients (89.5%) received ICIs. RT was delivered in all 19 patients who failed after BV or ICIs. In 16 efficacy-evaluable patients, the ORR and CR rate were 100% and 100%. The median DOR was 17.2 months (range, 7.9 to 46.7 months). 3 patients progressed at outside of the radiation field. The in-field-response rate was 100%. The 12-month PFS and OS were 84.4% and 100%, respectively. No patients were reported with sever adverse events. CONCLUSION This study concluded that radiotherapy was effective and safe for refractory HL after BV or ICIs. Further prospective studies were warranted.

Abstract
We report on an evaluation of an optical clock that uses the ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}D_{5/2} transition of a single ^{88}Sr^{+} ion as the reference. In contrast to previous work, we estimate the effective temperature of the blackbody radiation that shifts the reference transition directly during operation from the corresponding frequency shift and the well-characterized sensitivity to thermal radiation. We measure the clock output frequency against an independent ^{171}Yb^{+} ion clock, based on the ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=0)→^{2}F_{7/2}(F=3) electric octupole (E3) transition, and determine the frequency ratio with a total fractional uncertainty of 2.3×10^{-17}. Relying on a previous measurement of the ^{171}Yb^{+} (E3) clock frequency, we find the absolute frequency of the ^{88}Sr^{+} clock transition to be 444 779 044 095 485.277(59) Hz. Our result reduces the uncertainty by a factor of 3 compared with the previously most accurate measurement and may help to resolve so far inconsistent determinations of this value. We also show that for three simultaneously interrogated ^{88}Sr^{+} ions, the increased number causes the expected improvement of the short-term frequency instability of the optical clock without degrading its systematic uncertainty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Mutations in the ASXL transcriptional regulator 1 (ASXL1) and splicing factor 3b subunit 1(SF3B1) genes are commonly observed in myeloid neoplasms and are independent predicative factors for overall survival (OS). Only a few contradictory reports exist on the clinical significance of concurrent ASXL1 and SF3B1 mutations. Previous studies also did not exclude patients with mutations of other genes, which could be confounding factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 69 patients with mutation of only ASXL1, 89 patients with mutation of only SF3B1, and 17 patients with mutations exclusively of both ASXL1 and SF3B1 from our database of 8,285 patients and compared their clinical features and outcomes. RESULTS Patients with ASXL1 mutations more frequently had acute myeloid leukemia (22.47%) or clonal cytopenia of unknown significance than patients with SF3B1 mutations (1.45%) or with ASXL1/SF3B1 mutations (11.76%). Patients with SF3B1 or ASXL1/SF3B1 mutations were more frequently diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (75.36% and 64.71%, respectively) than patients with ASXL1 mutations (24.72%). Patients with ASXL1/SF3B1 (23.53%) mutations more frequently had myelodysplastic/myeloid proliferative neoplasm than did patients with ASXL1 mutations (5.62%) or with SF3B1 mutations (15.94%). OS of the ASXL1 mutation-only group was worse than that of the SF3B1 mutation-only group with a hazard ratio of 5.83 (p=0.017). Finally, and most importantly, the OS of the ASXL1/SF3B1 co-mutation group was poorer than that of both single-mutation groups (p=0.005). CONCLUSION ASXL1/SF3B1 co-mutations portend worse OS than isolated ASXL1 or SF3B1 mutations, which might be due to abnormalities in both the epigenetic-regulatory and RNA-splicing pathways or because two genes instead of one are mutated.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of asiaticoside for fibrosis in lung tissues of rats exposed to silica and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: 144 SD male rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, positive drug control group, asiaticoside high-dose group, medium-dose group and low-dose group, each group included 24 rats. Rats in the control group were perfused with 1.0 ml of normal saline, and the other groups were given 1.0 ml 50 mg/ml SiO(2) suspension. Gavage of herbal was given from the next day after model establishment, once a day. Rats in the positive drug control group were administration with 30 mg/kg tetrandrine and rats in the low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose group were given 20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg asiaticoside for fibrosis respectively. Rats in the control group and the model group were given 0.9% normal saline. The rats were sacrificed in on the 14th, 28th and 56th day after intragastric administration and collect the lung tissues to detect the content of hydroxyproline, TGF-β(1) and IL-18, observe the pathological changes of the lung tissues by HE and Masson staining and determine the expressions of Col-I, a-SMA, TGF-β in lung tissues by Western Blot. Results: On the 14th day, 28th day and 56th day after model establishment, the lung tissues of rats in the model group showed obvious inflammatory response and accumulation of collagen fibers, and the degree of inflammation and fibrosis increased with time. The intervention of asiaticoside could effectively inhibit the pathological changes of lung tissues. The contents of hydroxyproline, IL-18 and TGF-β1 in lung tissues of model group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) , while the level of hydroxyproline, IL-18 and TGF-β1 in asiaticoside groups were significantly decreased, and the difference was statistically signicant (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the expression levels of Col-I, TGF-β1and α-SMA in lung tissue of model group were increased (P<0.05) , while the expression level of Col-I, TGF-β1 and α-SMA were decreased after the intervention of asiaticoside, and the difference was statistically signicant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Asiaticoside can inhibit the increase of Col-I, TGF-β1 and α-SMA content in the SiO(2)-induced lung tissues of rats, reduce the release of TGF-β1 and IL-18 inflammatory factors in lung tissue, and then inhibit the synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix in rat lung tissue, and improve silicosis fibrosis.

Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the expression of cytokeratin and apoptosis-related molecules in the livers of two types of hepatic echinococcosis mice models and to preliminarily explore the relationship between the expression of cytokeratin and apoptosis in echinococcosis related liver injury. We established a mouse model infected by Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis and observed the expression of cytokeratin and apoptosis related proteins in the two types of hepatic echinococcosis tissues during different stages by immunohistochemical staining. A co-culture model was established using normal hepatocytes and different concentrations of E. granulosus and E. multilocularis protoscoleces. Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to detect cell proliferation, flow cytometry was used to detect hepatocyte apoptosis, and western blot was used to quantify cytokeratin and apoptosis-related proteins, such as caspase3, caspase9, Bcl-2, and Bax. Surgical specimens were obtained from patients with hepatic echinococcosis to analyze the expressions of cytokeratin, caspase3, caspase9, Bcl-2, and Bax by western blot. The expressions of cytokeratin and caspase3 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The qRT-PCR method was used to determine the expression of CK8 and CK18 in the liver tissues. In vivo experiments showed that compared to that in the control group, the cytokeratin and caspase3 proteins in the liver tissues of the two types of hepatic echinococcosis were strongly expressed around the lesions of liver echinococcosis; there was a difference between cytokeratin expression of the two different echinococcosis parasites in the liver. Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis in the co-culture model in vitro could promote the expression of CK, caspase3, caspase9, and Bax protein, decrease the expression of Bcl-2, promote hepatocyte apoptosis, and inhibit cell proliferation; in clinical samples, we found that compared with that in the normal tissues, the expression of cytokeratin, caspase3, caspase9, and Bax in echinococcus tissues was high, but that in Bcl-2 was low. Furthermore, the expression of CK8 and CK18 mRNA were higher in echinococcus tissues than that in the normal tissues and immunohistochemistry analysis also showed that cytokeratin and caspase3 levels were higher in echinococcus tissues than that in the normal tissues. The expression of cytokeratin and apoptosis-related molecules, reflecting liver damage, is high in the liver and is caused due to hepatic echinococcosis. This study provides the first evidence of cytokeratin could be useful for evaluating liver tissue damage caused by echinococcus infection.

Abstract
Traffic accidents have significant financial and social impacts. Reducing the losses caused by traffic accidents has always been one of the most important issues. This paper presents an effort to investigate the factors affecting the accident severity of drivers with different driving experience. Special focus was placed on the combined effect of driving experience and age. Based on our dataset (traffic accidents that occurred between 2005 and 2021 in Shaanxi, China), CatBoost model was applied to deal with categorical feature, and SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations) model was used to interpret the output. Results show that accident cause, age, visibility, light condition, season, road alignment, and terrain are the key factors affecting accident severity for both novice and experienced drivers. Age has the opposite impact on fatal accident for novice and experienced drivers. Novice drivers younger than 30 or older than 55 are prone to suffer fatal accident, but for experienced drivers, the risk of fatal accident decreases when they are young and increases when they are old. These findings fill the research gap of the combined effect of driving experience and age on accident severity. Meanwhile, it can provide useful insights for practitioners to improve traffic safety for novice and experienced drivers.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the interventional effect of metformin on pulmonary inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis in silicotic rats. Methods: In April 2019, 48 Wistar male rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into negative control group, metformin control group, silicon dioxide (SiO2) model group, low, medium and high dose metformin intervention group according to the random number table method, 8 rats in each group. The SiO2 model group and the low, medium and high dose metformin intervention groups were given 1 ml 50 mg/ml of SiO2 by intratracheal instillation, the negative control group and the metformin control group were given 1 ml normal saline by intratracheal instillation. 24 hours later, the low, medium and high dose metformin intervention groups and the metformin control group were treated with 100, 200, 400 and 400 mg/kg metformin daily, the control and SiO2 model groups received normal saline daily. Then the rats were sacrificed at the 28th day after SiO2 exposure. The changes of rat body weight and pathological examination of rat lung tissue were observed, and the lung organ coefficient, the content of hydroxyproline (HYP) , the expression levels of inflammatory factors transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1) , tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) , interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and the protein expression of E-cadherin (E-Cad) , Vimentin, α-SMA were detected. Results: Compared with the negative control group, SiO2 model group had a significant decrease in the body weight of rats (P<0.05) , lung organ coefficient, alveolitis and fibrosis scores, HYP content and the levels of TGF-β1, TNF-α, IL-1β were all significantly increased (P<0.05) . Compared with the SiO2 model group, the weights of the rats in the medium and high dose intervention group of metformin increased significantly (P<0.05) . And after intervention with different doses of metformin, the lung organ coefficient, alveolitis and fibrosis scores, HYP content and the levels of TGF-β1, TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly decreased (P<0.05) . Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting results showed that compared with the negative control group, the expression of E-Cad of the SiO2 model group was decreased, and the expression levels of Vimentin and α-SMA were significantly increased (P<0.05) . After metformin intervention, the expression of E-Cad was significantly increased, the expression levels of Vimentin and α-SMA were significantly decreased (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Metformin can reduce lung tissue inflammation and fibrosis in rats exposed to SiO2 dust, which may be related to reducing the expression of inflammatory factors in lung tissue and inhibiting the EMT process.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of adnexal torsion at different gestational weeks during pregnancy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical data of 24 pregnancy patients with adnexal torsion, aged 21-38 (30.6±4.4) years old, who were admitted and delivered in Peking University Third Hospital from 2015 to 2019. According to the gestational age, all patients were divided into two groups:<28 weeks group (11cases) and ≥28 weeks group (13 cases), to compare the intergroup differences in clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome, and the differences of clinical data and outcome between two groups were compared. Results: The proportion of patients with twin pregnancy and assisted reproductive technology in the<28 weeks group was significantly higher than that in the ≥28 weeks group (5/11 vs 1/13, 8/11 vs 1/13, P<0.05). No significant differences between the two groups were recorded in terms of the size of the adnexal mass, the cycles of torsion and the duration from onset to operation. Compared with the≥28 weeks group, the adnexal removal rate of the<28 weeks group was lower (3/11 vs 6/13), but the difference was not statistically significant. The proportion of blood flow signals of ultrasound before operation, cases undergoing laparoscopic surgery and cases whose pathological findings were physiological cysts in the<28 weeks group were significantly higher than that in the ≥28 weeks group (8/11 vs 4/13, 8/11 vs 0, 8/11vs 4/13; P<0.05). Concerning the pregnancy outcomes, there was no difference in the mode of delivery, the delivery gestational age and the body weight of newborns between the two groups. Conclusions: The patients with adnexal torsion prior to 28 weeks(<28 weeks)of pregnancy were more likely to be conceived by assisted reproductive technologies, and the etiology was more likely to be ovarian physiological cysts. Both laparoscopy and laparotomy were safe and effective in the treatment of adnexal torsion with good outcome for mother and infant in the study.

Abstract
Large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL) is a rare hematological malignancy that arises from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T-LGLL) in 85% of cases and natural killer (NK) cells in the rest. A significant knowledge gap exists regarding the pathogenesis, treatment choices, and prognostic factors of LGLL. We report a cohort of 319 consecutive LGLL patients who presented to our cancer center between 2001 and 2020. A total of 295 patients with T-LGLL and 24 with chronic NK-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (CLPD-NK) were identified. The median age was 65 years (range, 17-90 years). Eighty-three patients (26.0%) had autoimmune diseases. A total of 119 patients (37.3%) had coexisting malignancies, 66 (20.7%) had solid tumors, and 59 (18.5%) had hematological malignancies. Most coexisting malignancies were diagnosed before the diagnosis of LGLL. Treatment was needed for 57% of patients. Methotrexate (MTX), cyclophosphamide (Cy), and cyclosporine A (CSA) were most used and had similar response rates between 61.5%-74.4%. Cy produced more complete responses (32.3%) compared to MTX and CSA (15.7% and 23.1%, respectively). Thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly, and female gender (after controlling for autoimmune diseases) were associated with decreased response rates to MTX, CSA, or Cy. Autoimmune diseases were associated with increased response rates. Thrombocytopenia was an independent risk factor for worse survival.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current situation of occupational hazards in automobile manufacturing enterprises in Shandong Province. Methods: From February to May 2019, the convenience sampling method was adopted to conduct on-site occupational health surveys with 20 automobile manufacturing enterprises in Shandong Province as the survey subjects, to detect the occupational hazard factors in the workplaces and individual exposure levels, and to analyze the occupational health check results of operators. Results: There were 13 small-sized, 4 medium-sized and 3 large-sized enterprises among the 20 automobile manufacturing enterprises. The detection results of benzene and toluene in the workplaces met the occupational exposure limits, and the detection results of welding fumes, manganese and its compounds, and xylene exceed the occupational exposure limits. The maximum short-term exposure concentration (C(STE)) of welding fume in the air of workplaces was 24.23 mg/m(3), and the over-standard rate was 11.0% (16/146) . The maximum time-weighted average concentration (C(TWA)) of welding fume of operators is 10.60 mg/m(3), and the over-standard rate was 11.0% (8/73) . The maximum C(STE) of manganese and its compounds in the air of workplaces was 0.879 mg/m(3), and the of manganese and its compounds of operators was 0.175 mg/m(3), and the over-standard rate was 5.7% (4/70) . The maximum xylene C(STE) in the air of workplaces was 230.00 mg/m(3), and the over-standard rate was 3.9% (2/51) . The maximum xylene C(TWA) of operators was 70.40 mg/m(3), the over-standard rate was 3.6% (1/28) . Among the 4775 workers exposed to occupational hazards, 38 (0.80%) were suspected of electric welder's pneumoconiosis, 27 (0.57%) were suspected of manganese poisoning and 31 (0.65%) were suspected of chronic low-concentration benzene and benzene series poisoning. The detection rates of suspected occupational diseases among workers in small and medium-sized enterprises were relatively high, 2.86% (30/1048) and 4.51% (51/1132) respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the detection rates of suspected occupational diseases among the operators of different scale automobile manufacturers (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The exposure levels of electric welding fumes, manganese and its compounds in welding jobs and xylene exposure levels in spray painting jobsin Shandong Province's automobile manufacturing enterprises are more serious. The supervision and management of occupational hygiene should be strengthened, the working environment should be improved, and the health of welding and painting workers should be protected.

Abstract
We compare two optical clocks based on the ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=0)→^{2}D_{3/2}(F=2) electric quadrupole (E2) and the ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=0)→^{2}F_{7/2}(F=3) electric octupole (E3) transition of ^{171}Yb^{+} and measure the frequency ratio ν_{E3}/ν_{E2}=0.932829404530965376(32), improving upon previous measurements by an order of magnitude. Using two caesium fountain clocks, we find ν_{E3}=642121496772645.10(8) Hz, the most accurate determination of an optical transition frequency to date. Repeated measurements of both quantities over several years are analyzed for potential violations of local position invariance. We improve by factors of about 20 and 2 the limits for fractional temporal variations of the fine structure constant α to 1.0(1.1)×10^{-18}/yr and of the proton-to-electron mass ratio μ to -8(36)×10^{-18}/yr. Using the annual variation of the Sun's gravitational potential at Earth Φ, we improve limits for a potential coupling of both constants to gravity, (c^{2}/α)(dα/dΦ)=14(11)×10^{-9} and (c^{2}/μ)(dμ/dΦ)=7(45)×10^{-8}.

Abstract
Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and gene rearrangement are a unique category in the WHO classification, and include cases with rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, and PCM1-JAK2. We report three patients presented with eosinophilia and FLT3 rearrangement: the first case with chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified and T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma; the second case with myeloid sarcoma; and the last case with high-grade myelodysplastic syndrome. The first case showed t(13;14)(q12;q32), which encoded FLT3-TRIP11. The patient was treated with intense chemotherapy and subsequently sorafenib with clinical improvement. Unfortunately, the patient showed persistent residual disease and passed away 9 months after the diagnosis from pneumonia. The other two cases both showed ETV6-FLT3. The second patient was treated with local radiation and systemic chemotherapy including sorafenib and was alive. The third patient was treated with chemotherapy but showed transformation to acute myeloid leukemia and died 15 months after diagnosis. These cases are among a growing number of cases with FLT3 rearrangement that all showed similar clinicopathologic features characterized by myeloproliferative neoplasm with eosinophilia and frequent T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Therefore, we propose that the myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and FLT3 rearrangement be included in the WHO category of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and gene rearrangement.

Abstract
We introduce a scheme to coherently suppress second-rank tensor frequency shifts in atomic clocks, relying on the continuous rotation of an external magnetic field during the free atomic state evolution in a Ramsey sequence. The method retrieves the unperturbed frequency within a single interrogation cycle and is readily applicable to various atomic clock systems. For the frequency shift due to the electric quadrupole interaction, we experimentally demonstrate suppression by more than two orders of magnitude for the ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}D_{3/2} transition of a single trapped ^{171}Yb^{+} ion. The scheme provides particular advantages in the case of the ^{171}Yb^{+} ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}F_{7/2} electric octupole (E3) transition. For an improved estimate of the residual quadrupole shift for this transition, we measure the excited state electric quadrupole moments Θ(^{2}D_{3/2})=1.95(1)ea_{0}^{2} and Θ(^{2}F_{7/2})=-0.0297(5)ea_{0}^{2} with e the elementary charge and a_{0} the Bohr radius, improving the measurement uncertainties by one order of magnitude.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of micro-ribonucleic acid (miR)-29c on renal fibrosis in diabetic rats through the adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, and to investigate its related mechanism by the research on the effect of miR-29c on the expression of fibrosis-related genes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The rat model of diabetic nephropathy (DN) was established, and the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 24 h urine protein (24h-Pro), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine (sCr) were monitored. After the rats were executed, kidney tissues were dissected, stained with paraffin and embedded in hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Then, Western blotting was used to detect the levels of miR-29c, phosphorylated-AMPK (p-AMPK), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). The human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cell line was treated with high glucose (HG) to simulate DN cell status in vivo. After that, the expressions of miR-29c and the renal fibrosis marker α-SMA were examined via Western blotting. Finally, the level of α-SMA was measured by Western blotting after HG treatment combined with miR-29c silencing. RESULTS The levels of FBG, BUN, sCr, and 24h-Pro in DN model rats were significantly higher than those in rats of control group. The data manifested that the DN model was successfully established. The expression level of miR-29c in DN model rats was markedly increased and that of the downstream protein p-AMPK also exhibited a significantly increasing trend. In addition, the levels of α-SMA, TNF-α, and MIF were elevated. The expression levels of miR-29c and α-SMA were increased markedly after the human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cell line was treated with HG, but the expression of α-SMA was reduced after HG treatment combined with miR-29c silencing for 24 h. CONCLUSIONS MiR-29c is probably related to the occurrence and development of DN. Besides, miR-29c silencing may inhibit the DN renal fibrosis through AMPK/mTOR signals, so miR-29c may be an effective target for the treatment of DN renal fibrosis.

Abstract
AIMS Interventions using prebiotic inulin-type fructans (ITFs) are widely prescribed to modulate the gut microbiota composition and activity to promote health. However, the impacts of ITFs on post-antibiotic reconstitution of the gut microbiome remain incompletely understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of ITFs supplementation on intestinal inflammation, the composition of the intestinal microbiota and the colonic transcriptome after antibiotic treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Male BALB/c mice were subjected to an antibiotic cocktail (ABx) treatment for 7 days, and their microbiomes were then reconstituted either spontaneously or with ITFs supplementation (5%) for 14 days. Our data showed that ITFs supplementation delayed the recovery of antibiotic-induced colitis compared with the spontaneous recovery. Neither ITFs supplementation nor spontaneous recovery could restore the microbial community composition at the genus level back to its initial composition. ITFs supplementation increased the relative abundance of some beneficial bacteria and butyrate levels, but resulted in selective blooms of some opportunistic pathogens and elevated the pathways associated with diseases linked to gut microbiota function. Both ITFs supplementation and spontaneous recovery could restore the colonic transcriptome nearly to the initial profile to a certain extent; however, ITFs supplementation delayed the restoration of the immunoglobulin genes compared to spontaneous recovery. CONCLUSION These data showed that post-antibiotic ITFs consumption did not always lead to beneficial effects but might lead to potential adverse effects in the context of dysbiosis. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These findings highlighted that caution is required when supplementing ITFs to restore intestinal homeostasis in the context of dysbiosis resulting from broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical significance of SF3B1/DNMT3A Comutations with SF3B1 or DNMT3A mutation alone in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). METHODS We identified and compared 31 patients with only DNMT3A mutation, 48 patients with only SF3B1 mutation, and 16 patients with only SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations. RESULTS SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations were found to be more common in MDS, whereas DNMT3A mutation alone was more common in CCUS. The patients with SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations were less likely to have poor cytogenetics than patients with DNMT3A mutation alone. Patients with SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations showed significantly longer median survival time and better overall survival than patients with DNMT3A mutation alone. CONCLUSIONS Patients with SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations appear to have better clinical outcomes than patients with isolated DNMT3A mutation. These findings suggest that the favorable prognosis of SF3B1 mutation in is not abrogated by the concurrent presence of a DNMT3A mutation.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the correlation between the changes of lung function and serum proinflammatory cytokines in workers occupationally exposed to toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and to explore the evaluation index of respiratory toxicity of TDI. Methods: In October 2014, 61 male workers engaged in TDI synthesis process, purification process, packaging process and the above production process in a TDI factory in western China were selected as TDI exposure group; 62 male enterprise managers who were not exposed to TDI and other known allergenic chemicals were selected as control group, which were matched at the age of workers in exposure group. The questionnaire survey obtained information such as gender, length of service, age, occupational history, exposed length of service and so on. The lung function indexes [forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC] and serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1 β, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, macrophage inflammatory factor-1 β, monocyte chemoattractant factor-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor were measured. The urine was collected after the weekend shift, and the concentration of (TDA), the metabolite of TDI, was determined as the index of internal exposure. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between cytokines and lung function indexes, and multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the changes of lung function indexes and cytokines with TDI exposure concentration and time. Results: The median age (P5-P95) of the exposed group and the control group was 36.5 (24.0-51.0) and 38.0 (24.0-50.0) years, respectively. In the exposed group, the median length of service (P5-P95) was 6.94 (0.97-26.33) years, and the median concentration of TDA in urine was 15.56 (2.28-112.16) ng/ml. The three indexes of lung function, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and the levels of serum IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). With the increase of exposure concentration and exposure time, the level of serum TNF-α, FVC and FEV1 decreased, and showed a good dose-effect and time-effect relationship (all Ptrend values< 0.05). Serum IL-8 and TNF-α were positively correlated with FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC (all P values<0.01). Conclusion: The levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-8 and TNF-α in worker exposed to TDI are related to lung function indexes, which can be used as early evaluation indexes of respiratory toxicity induced by TDI.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current status of the occupational hazards of welding fume, manganese, and manganese compounds in the welding environment of a large container manufacturing enterprise, as well as the status of occupational health examination of workers, and to provide a basis for improving the welding environment of this enterprise. Methods: In August 2016, July 2017, and August 2018, convenience sampling was used to perform an on-site occupational hygiene survey of the welding workshop for three consecutive years, and welding fume, manganese and, manganese compounds (counted as manganese dioxide) were measured for their workplace exposure concentrations and exposure levels in workers. A comprehensive analysis was performed for the results of occupational health examination. Results: Welding fume, manganese, and manganese compounds in the welding environment gradually increased from 2016 to 2018 (χ(2)(trend)=5.14 and 5.54, P<0.05). The maximum over-standard rate of concentration-short term exposure limit was 43.3% (13/30) for welding fume and 40.0% (12/30) for manganese and its compounds, and the maximum over-standard rate of time-weighted average concentration was 26.7% (8/30) for welding fume and 23.3% (7/30) for manganese and its compounds. Abnormalities were observed in the occupational health examination of welding workers in 2016-2018, among which respiratory system abnormalities (cough, expectoration, and wheezing), nervous system abnormalities (dizziness, fatigue, sleep disorders, amnesia, hyperhidrosis, and palpitations), and electrocardiogram abnormalities (bundle conduction block) had an incidence rate of above 10.0%, and the incidence rate of abnormalities on posterior-anterior X-ray high-kV chest radiograph was close to 8.9% (30/336) . Conclusion: There is severe exposure to welding fume, manganese, and manganese compounds among workers in this enterprise, which cause great hazards to the health of workers. It is necessary to strengthen occupational health management, take measures to improve the welding environment, and enhance occupational disease prevention.

Abstract
In order to enhance the high-power performance of the ferrite phase shifter (PS), a method of increasing waveguide height is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Dual-toroid geometry is utilized as a high-power structure. Two configurations of X-band PSs with full-height (FH) and increased-height (IH) waveguides are designed and fabricated while keeping other parameters consistent. Comparative analysis based on simulation and high-power experiments is conducted. The simulation results agree well with experiments. Compared with the FHPS, the IHPS can enhance the peak-power-capacity from 90 kW to 140 kW while maintaining almost the same insertion loss of 0.5 dB with a slight increase in differential phase shift from 360° to 380°.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of microRNA-29b-3p (miRNA-29b-3p) and miRNA-34c-3p in the process of pulmonary fibrosis, we detected the expression levels of miRNA-29b-3p and miRNA-34c-3p in the lung tissue of rats exposed to silica and A549 cells. Methods: SPF male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 d control group and silica (SiO(2)) dusting group, with 6 rats in each group. One-time non-exposure method was used to infuse 1ml SiO(2) suspension. The rat SiO(2) dusting group was established in the liquid, and the control rats were intratracheally injected with 1 ml of sterile physiological saline in the same manner. The lung tissues of each group were collected at the corresponding time points after dusting. Three of the rats were taken out for pathological observation, and the other three were used to screen differentially expressed miRNAs in lung tissue by miRNA microarray technology. A549 cells were cultured at the in vitro cell level and divided into control group, SiO(2) stimulation group and TGF-β(1) stimulation group, and cells were collected at 12, 24 and 48 h after treatment. The expression levels of miRNA-29b-3p and miRNA-34c-3p in rat lung tissue and A549 cells were verified by real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), target gene prediction of miRNA-29b-3p and miRNA-34c-3p and perform GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis. Results: The weight growth rate of the control group was significantly higher than that of the SiO(2) dusting group. Compared with the control group, the lung mass and lung coefficient of the SiO(2) dusting group were significantly increased (P<0.05). The inflammatory response of the lungs in the control group was significantly reduced at 21 and 28 days, and the inflammatory cells infiltrated in the lung tissue of the SiO2 group. The rats in the control group had a small amount of collagen at 21 and 28 days. A large amount of collagen fiber deposition began to appear in the lung tissue of rats exposed to SiO(2) for 21 days. Compared with the control group, the expression levels of miRNA-29b-3p and miRNA-34c-3p in the SiO(2) dusting group were significantly down-regulated, and there was significant difference compared with the control group (P<0.05). The expression levels of miRNA-29b-3p and miRNA-34c-3p in A549 cells treated with SiO(2) and human recombinant TGF-β1 were significantly lower than those in the control group at 24 h and 48 h, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Down-regulation of miRNA-29b-3p and miR-34c-3p in rat lung tissue A549 cells may be associated with the development of early silicosis and is expected to be an indicator of early silicosis diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To screen the changes of microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in lung tissues of early silicosis rats, and provide a basis for functional analysis of differential microRNA. Methods: SPF Wistar male rats were randomly divided into a negative control group and SiO(2)-exposed groups, with 30 rats in each group. The model of silicosis in rats was established by intratracheal instillation of 1 ml SiO(2) suspension, and the control rats were treated with 1mL in the same way to sterilize normal saline. The lung tissues of two group were collected at the 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 d after SiO(2)-exposed. Three of the rat lung tissues were used for pathological observation, and the other three were used to screen differentially expressed miRNAs in lung tissue by miRNA microarray technology. miRNA chip screening and RT-qPCR were used to verify the expression levels of miRNA-423-5p and miRNA-26a-5p in the two groups. miRNA-423-5p and miRNA-26a-5p are predicted by target genes and analyzed by GO (gene ontology) enrichment analysis and KEGG (kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) pathway analysis. Results: In the control group, the inflammatory response of lung tissue 21 and 28 days was significantly reduced compared with 1, 7 and 14 days, and the inflammatory cells infiltrated in the lung tissue of the SiO(2)-exposed rats. The rats in the control group had a small amount of collagen at 21 and 28 days, but a large amount of collagen fiber deposition began to appear in the lung tissue of rats exposed to SiO(2) after 21 days. Compared with the control group, the expression levels of micro RNA-423-5p was significantly up-regulated and the expression of microRNA-26a-5p was significantly down-regulated in the SiO(2)-exposed rats lung tissues dust at different time points (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The up-regulation of miRNA-423-5p and the down-regulation of miRNA-26a-5p in lung tissues of early silicotic rats may be related to the occurrence and development of early silicosis.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the repairing effect of adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) on lung injury induced by silica in rats. Methods: Primary ADSCs-GFP was obtained from rats. ADSCs-GFP was injected into tail vein of silicosis model rats. The expression of green fluorescence in lungs was observed regularly to determine the homing ability of ADSCs. Primary ADSCs of rats were obtained and randomly divided into control group, exposure group, vehicle group and ADSCs group. Silicosis rat model was established by non-exposed tracheal drip method. 24 hours after silica exposure, rats in ADSCs group were injected with ADSCs of 1×10(6)/kg body weight through tail vein, and the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed and evaluated 28 days after intervention. To explore the early intervention mechanism of ADSCs on pulmonary fibrosis in silicosis model rats, apoptosis-related proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: 28 days after exposure to silica, rats in the exposure group showed obvious pulmonary fibrosis. Compared with exposure group and vehicle group, ADSCs group showed less pulmonary inflammation, less silica nodules and less collagen deposition area. Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of Caspase-3 and cytochrome C protein decreased and Bcl-2 protein increased after ADSCs transplantation. Conclusion: ADSCs infusion has an obvious intervention effect on postponing early silicosis fibrosis in rats exposed to silica, and its mechanism is related to the regulation of apoptotic process.

Abstract
To investigate the pathophysiology, screening, diagnosis and treatment of the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in pregnancy complicated with pulmonary hypertension. Retrospective analysis was made of one case of SLE in pregnancy complicated with pulmonary hypertension in Peking University Third Hospital. Literature was reviewed to investigate the pathophysiology, screening, diagnosis and treatment of the SLE in pregnancy complicated with pulmonary hypertension. SLE is an autoimmune mediated diffuse connective tissue disease characterized by immunological inflammation. The incidence of SLE combined with pulmonary hypertension was low, but the risk was high with pregnancy, with a high perinatal mortality rate. Pulmonary hypertension is the leading cause of the death in patients with pregnancy complicated with SLE. This patient was diagnosed with SLE six years before and was hospitalized for 29 weeks of menopause, with fatigue five months and chest congestion one month. Ultrasonic cardiogram showed severe pulmonary hypertension, with pulmonary arterial systolic pressure being 96 mmHg. After admission, multidisciplinary consultation was organized to draw up a diagnosis and treatment plan. The patient received the treatment of rest,oxygen,blood gas and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring. Considering perioperative pulmonary hypertension crisis likely to occur, pulmonary artery catheter was placed preoperatively. In general anesthesia, the cesarean was performedfter operation,the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit, with the treatment of expanding blood vessels, reducing pulmonary artery pressure,administering anticoagulation and preventing infection. Ten days after operation, the patient was discharged from hospital with smooth condition. Strengthening the management of SLE patients in pregnancy, early detection, and cooperation of multidisciplinary teams can help improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Termination of pregnancy should be offered to the patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. Right cardiac catheterization is the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary hypertension. Some patients are diagnosed in later stage of pregnancy, regular antenatal examination, interdisciplinary co-operation, assessment of cardiac function, monitoring the condition of the pregnant woman and fetus and timely termination of pregnancy are needed. Epidural anesthesia is the appropriate choice for cesarean delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary Syndrome (SS) are clinically distinct cutaneous T-cell lymphomas with strikingly similar morphologic and phenotypic features. Prior studies have suggested phenotypic differences based on markers of antigen experience, suggesting a different cell of origin. METHODS Seventy-nine involved peripheral blood or bone marrow samples from 33 patients with SS and 19 patients with MF were studied by 10-color flow cytometry, including CD62L, CD45RA, CCR4, and PD-1. Gated tumor events were classified as naïve (TN ), central memory (TCM ), effector memory (TEM ), or effector memory with reacquired CD45RA (TEMRA ); based on CD62L+ /CD45RA+ , CD62L+ /CD45RA- , CD62L- /CD45RA- , or CD62L- /CD45RA+ phenotype, respectively. Sequential specimens were compared to assess for phenotypic stability. RESULTS The naïve/memory phenotype of the neoplastic T-cells was markedly heterogeneous, with a dominant TN , TCM , TEM , or TEMRA subset on 11 (14%), 32 (41%), 30 (38%), and 6 (8%) cases, respectively. There was no correlation between the diagnosis of MF or SS and putative cell of origin (P = 0.4). Overexpression of CCR4 and PD1 was observed in most cases, with higher intensity in SS compared to MF. The naïve/memory phenotype remained the same for 10 patients up to 273 days after the initial analysis; while on six patients, the naïve/memory phenotype was different from the original phenotype. CONCLUSIONS Both SS and MF can have phenotypic features of any of the major naïve/memory T-cell subsets, which questions the current principle of "cell-of-origin" distinction between SS and MF. Phenotypic shifts within these subsets are common, suggesting a functional state rather than a cell-of-origin surrogate. © 2018 International Clinical Cytometry Society.

Abstract
Testicular torsion is a urology urgent disease which causes testicular injury and potential sterility. In this study, we explored the protective influence of rosiglitazone on testicular ischaemia-reperfusion damage. There were 28 male Sprague Dawley rats in total, which were assigned randomly to four groups. Group A was blank control one; group B was testicular injury one; group C was rosiglitazone one; group D was rosiglitazone antagonist one. The testicles were counter-rotated after 2 hr and then underwent orchiectomy 24 hr later. We found that testicular tissue structure of rats was seriously damaged in groups B and D. However, group C had better testicular architecture. Similar findings were also shown for lipid peroxidation by evaluating the MDA activity (p < .05). Unlike group B or group D, the levels of inflammation by evaluating the MPO activity, the levels of TNF-a, IL-1 and IL-6 and the expressions of ICAM-1 were prominently lower in group C (p < .05) as well. So our researches demonstrated that rosiglitazone significantly decreased the amount of responsive oxygen radical and regulated inflammatory responses. Rosiglitazone had a protective influence against testicular ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats and possibly depended on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant traits.

Abstract
Implanting artificial biomaterial implants into alveolar bone defects with individual shape and appropriate mechanical strength is still a challenge. In this study, bioceramic scaffolds, which can precisely match the mandibular defects in macro and micro, were manufactured by the 3-dimensional (3D) printing technique according to the computed tomography (CT) image. To evaluate the stimulatory effect of the material substrate on bone tissue regeneration in situ in a rabbit mandibular alveolar bone defect model, implants made with the newly developed, mechanically strong ~10% Mg-substituted wollastonite (Ca90%Mg10%SiO3; CSi-Mg10) were fabricated, implanted into the bone defects, and compared with implants made with the typical Ca-phosphate and Ca-silicate porous bioceramics, such as β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP), wollastonite (CaSiO3; CSi), and bredigite (Bred). The initial physicochemical tests indicated that although the CSi-Mg10 scaffolds had the largest pore dimension, they had the lowest porosity mainly due to the significant linear shrinkage of the scaffolds during sintering. Compared with the sparingly dissolvable TCP scaffolds (~2% weight loss) and superfast dissolvable (in Tris buffer within 6 wk) pure CSi and Bred scaffolds (~12% and ~14% weight loss, respectively), the CSi-Mg10 exhibited a mild in vitro biodissolution and moderate weight loss of ~7%. In addition, the CSi-Mg10 scaffolds showed a considerable initial flexural strength (31 MPa) and maintained very high flexural resistance during soaking in Tris buffer. The in vivo results revealed that the CSi-Mg10 scaffolds have markedly higher osteogenic capability than those on the TCP, CSi, and Bred scaffolds after 16 wk. These results suggest a promising potential application of customized CSi-Mg10 3D robocast scaffolds in the clinic, especially for repair of alveolar bone defects.

Abstract
Indeterminate dendritic cell neoplasm (IDCN) is an exceedingly rare and mostly cutaneous histiocytosis, frequently associated with other hematopoietic malignancies. We report 2 cases of multilesional cutaneous IDCN. A 55-year-old male with no associated malignancy and complete response to ultraviolet phototherapy; and a 72-year-old male with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Both cases showed histiocytoid cytology, positivity for CD1a and no expression of langerin or BRAFV600E . With our patients, the literature describes 79 cases of IDCNs, including 65 (82%) with only skin involvement, 7 cases (9%) with involvement of skin and a second site, 5 cases (6%) involving lymph nodes only, 1 splenic lesion and 1 systemic disease. Seventeen cases (22%) were associated with other hematopoietic malignancies, most commonly CMML (6 cases), follicular lymphoma (4 cases) and acute myeloid leukemia (3 cases). All IDCNs associated with myeloid malignancies were limited to the skin, while most cases associated with lymphoma were limited to lymph nodes. Reported responses of cutaneous lesions to ultraviolet phototherapy are encouraging, while systemic chemotherapy is appropriate for clinically aggressive cases and treatment of associated malignancies. Recognition of the clinico-morphologic spectrum of IDCNs should prevent misdiagnoses and prompt investigation of possible associated neoplasms.

Abstract
Ammonium deposition at the International Institute for Sustainable Development Experimental Lakes Area (IISD–ELA), in northwestern Ontario, Canada, has doubled in the last 45 years and thus is no longer among the low nitrogen (N) deposition sites in North America. This may be related to the concurrent intensification of Manitoba agriculture to the west and upwind of the ELA. Large increases in ammonium deposition at the ELA were important in driving the observed trend and increased the NH4 + to NO3 − ratio of input to aquatic and terrestrial systems. Stable isotope analyses of two years of bulk (wet and dry) atmospheric deposition revealed very large ranges in δ15N−NH4 + (22‰ range), δ15N−NO3 − (18‰), and δ18O–NO3 − (19‰). Few other δ15N−NH4 +, δ15N−NO3 −, and δ18O–NO3 − values have been published for Canadian precipitation. Increases in δ15N of NH4 + and NO3 − in July occurred with increases in total N deposition. The wide range and seasonal trends of δ15N and δ18O values in ELA precipitation mean that studies characterizing N inputs to watersheds and lakes require an ongoing and comprehensive annual sampling regime. Global trends of declining δ15N of N deposition evident in lake sediment records may be a result of increases in NH4 + deposition with lower δ15N−NH4 + values. Similarly, the relationship in Lake Superior between increasing NO3 − and lower δ15N−NO3 − values may be explained by increased atmospheric deposition of N with low δ15N values.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the mutational profiles of patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), polycythemia vera (PV), and essential thrombocytosis (ET). METHODS Next-generation sequencing results of 75 cases of PMF, 33 cases of PV, and 27 cases of ET were compared. RESULTS Mutation rates of ASXL1 and SRSF2 were significantly higher in PMF than in PV or ET. ASXL1 mutations appeared to be more frequently associated with risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia than JAK2 or TET2 mutations. The most common mutation-cytogenetic combinations in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) were mutations of JAK2 or ASXL1 with del(20q) and were more common in patients with PMF and PV than in patients with ET. Differences were also found between patients with PMF and PV. CONCLUSIONS PMF, PV, and ET show different mutational profiles, which may be helpful in resolving the differential diagnosis between MPNs. Due to the relatively small number of cases and variable testing over time, larger controlled studies are necessary to confirm the findings.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the inner or extra-exposure of workers in carbon and coal tar process industries. Methods: In May 2015, 271 exposure and 75 non-exposure workers in two of carbon and coal tar process industries in Shandong province were selected. Coal tar pitch (CTP) was detected according to the methods of GB17054-1997. The 1-OH-Nap、2-OH-Nap、1-OH-Pyr in urine were detected by high performance liquid Chromatography (HPLC) . Results: The concentration of 1-OH-Nap、2-OH-Nap、1-OH-Pyr in urine of exposure group were significant higher than that of control group (P<0.05) , respectively. The urine concentration of 1-OH-Nap、2-OH-Nap、1-OH-Py in contact group tar and asphalt were 12.20, 12.55, 7.08 and 10.62, 8.73, 3.07 μg/gCr, and the concentration of them were 7.25, 8.54, 3.00 μg/gCr in container handle workers. Significant positive correlations were found between high or median CTP exposure and the urine concentration of 1-OH-Nap、2-OH-Nap、1-OH-Pyr in exposure groups (P<0.05) . Conclusions: The inner or extra exposure level is relative and different for different type of work in these carbon and coal tar process industries.

Abstract
c-MYC is one of the most essential transcriptional factors, regulating a diverse array of cellular functions, including proliferation, growth, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of c-MYC is essential in the pathogenesis of a number of B-cell lymphomas, but is rarely reported in T-cell lymphomas. c-MYC dysregulation induces lymphomagenesis by loss of the tight control of c-MYC expression, leading to overexpression of intact c-MYC protein, in contrast to the somatic mutations or fusion proteins seen in many other oncogenes. Dysregulation of c-MYC in B-cell lymphomas occurs either as a primary event in Burkitt lymphoma, or secondarily in aggressive lymphomas such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, or double-hit lymphoma. Secondary c-MYC changes include gene translocation and gene amplification, occurring against a background of complex karyotype, and most often confer aggressive clinical behavior, as evidenced in the double-hit lymphomas. In low-grade B-cell lymphomas, acquisition of c-MYC rearrangement usually results in transformation into highly aggressive lymphomas, with some exceptions. In this review, we discuss the role that c-MYC plays in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphomas, the molecular alterations that lead to c-MYC dysregulation, and their effect on prognosis and diagnosis in specific types of B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Transgenesis for Strongyloides and Parastrongyloides was accomplished in 2006 and is based on techniques derived for Caenorhabditis elegans over two decades earlier. Adaptation of these techniques has been possible because Strongyloides and related parasite genera carry out at least one generation of free-living development, with adult males and females residing in soil contaminated by feces from an infected host. Transgenesis in this group of parasites is accomplished by microinjecting DNA constructs into the syncytia of the distal gonads of free-living females. In Strongyloides stercoralis, plasmid-encoded transgenes are expressed in promoter-regulated fashion in the F1 generation following gene transfer but are silenced subsequently. Stable inheritance and expression of transgenes in S. stercoralis requires their integration into the genome, and stable lines have been derived from integrants created using the piggyBac transposon system. More direct investigations of gene function involving expression of mutant transgene constructs designed to alter intracellular trafficking and developmental regulation have shed light on the function of the insulin-regulated transcription factor Ss-DAF-16. Transgenesis in Strongyloides and Parastrongyloides opens the possibility of powerful new methods for genome editing and transcriptional manipulation in this group of parasites. Proof of principle for one of these, CRISPR/Cas9, is presented in this review.

Abstract
This study investigated the value of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis and
treatment of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) caused by Sedum
aizoon (SA). The clinical manifestations, treatment results, imaging
findings, and histological findings of the liver were analyzed in 39 patients with
HVOD caused by SA. Hepatomegaly, liver dysfunction, abdominal effusion, and
geographic density changes on liver CT scans were found in all 39 patients. The
pathological findings of histological liver examination included swelling and
point-like necrosis of liver cells, significant expansion and congestion of the
sinuses, endothelial swelling, and wall thickening with incomplete lumen occlusion of
small liver vessels. CT geographic density changes were confirmed by histological
examination of the liver in 18 patients. Sixteen patients with small amounts of
ascites that started within 4 weeks of treatment recovered completely or
significantly improved after symptomatic and supportive treatment. However, only
43.75% of the patients with larger amounts of ascites improved following symptomatic
and supportive treatment. In conclusion, liver CT examination is a valuable, safe,
and noninvasive tool for the diagnosis of HVOD caused by SA. In selected cases, liver
CT examination may replace liver biopsy and histological analysis.
